Product Description back to top
Electronic cigarette DSE901 is a white label
product. That means that it arrives from China without any product markings. Than shop
that is selling it either sticks some label of its own or leaves it as it is. That
explains for a great variety of colors, shapes and all other variations regarding the
venerable DSE901 cigarette. Essentially, DSE 901 cigarette that you bought on Amazon
will look completely different from the one your friend bought on e-cigs.co.uk and so
on. We found not less than ten different color variations for DSE 901 cigarette in
various shops around the internet. But all the DSE 901 e-cigs will share many working
parts, like DSE901 cartridges, DSE901 atomizers etc. These are reasons why you might
find that DSE901 is more affordable than
Gamucci Micro or
Nicocig Plus+.
Part sharing and ease of upgrade is the main reason why a whole community of e-smokers had grown around DSE901. If you are looking for advice and shared experiences, than no other electronic cigarette can match DSE901. Another reason why many people buy DSE 901 electronic cigarettes is ability to refill the cartridges. You just resupply yourself with diluted nicotine liquid and top the cartridges up.
Some would classify DSE 901 as a mini e-cigarette, similar to
Gamucci Micro, just
between the super-mini 10cm long cigs and king-size, 14cm long cigarettes, like
Gamucci Classic. Longer size,
gives DSE901 cigarette better handling and longer battery life, without becoming too bulky.
Atomizers are the weakest link in the chain of parts that make the electronic cigarette
work. Weather you go for top of the range SuperSmoker cigarette or the
most affordable DSE 901 e-cig, atomizers will disappoint. Atomizer is a mechanical component,
and simply put, unlike small electronic things, small mechanical things do not work well
when they get hot and are constantly stuffed with dense organic liquids. If you want to
enjoy continuous e-smoking, than it is essential to keep a supply of atomizers at hand. We
would recommend for DSE 901 cigarette that you stock at least 4 to 5 spare atomizers, if you
want to avoid interruptions. It is worth noting here that
Nicocig Plus now offers
a free atomizer with every 10 boxes of cartridges.
Whatever advertiser want us to believe, we found that for mini and midi-sized cigarettes batteries will last a whole day only if you are smoking about 10 to 15 cigs on average, per day. If you smoke more intensively that that, you should invest in a spare battery and have two of them at any time. One in the e-cig and one in the reserve.
Three different DSE901 cigarettes shown for comparison.
While good looks are not the strong point for the DSE 901, all other attributes stuck up very well against more expensive electronic cigarettes, like Gamucci Micro, NicoVap, Nicocig and Nicocig Plus etc. We found that DSE901 is very good on: vapor production, throat hit, cartridge capacity, battery life and running cost. If you are after a good value for money and do not care about brand names, than DSE901 is a very good choice.
Refilling the DSE 901 cigarette
The main advantage of DSE901 cigarettes, over the competitors like Gamucci and Nicocig, is that DSE901 cartridges can be topped up. Electronic cigarettes are 80% cheaper to smoke than regular tobacco cigarettes, but with refills, you can stretch this economy even further. You just need to buy bottled smoking liquid, top up the DSE901 refill cartridges you already own and you are in the business.
With electronic cigarette DSE901 most users would like to try refilling the cartridges. This can be done in several ways and we will describe the approach that worked for us was. DSE901 cartridges come with plastic cover over a rubber seal. Take the covers off and you will see the wick inside the smoking liquid container. Now take a bottle with smoke juice and slowly add liquid, drop by drop, until you can see that the liquid has reached the top of the cart. Replace the rubber seal and the plastic cover and put the cartridge back onto the atomizer and you are now ready. It is actually quite easy once you do it few times, when you notice that vapor production is going down. A bottle of smoking liquid will usually last about 2 to 3 weeks. Always keep filled cartridges in a sealed plastic bag, just in case they start to leak, particularly if you are traveling and want to keep them in a suitcase, with clothes and other stuff.

VISITOR REVIEWS back to top
I would suggest you stay away from modding e-cigs. One thing is for sure, I can tell you that most electronic cigarettes do not exchange parts readily. Sure, there are few white label products around, and occasionally some Chinese products use the same connectors, but majority of them will not be compatible.
Someone I was just tnakilg to says too much glucose in the body can lead to insulin not breaking down the excess glucose so if Propelyne glycol turns into glucose, can it eventually cause diabetes!?

Dor Daedeloth
Revision as of 18:34, 13 June 2012 by KingAragorn Bot (Talk | contribs)
Dor Daedeloth was the land of Morgoth.
Dor Daedeloth lay around the fortress of Angband and on both sides of the Ered Engrin. It was here that the Orcs and other creatures of Morgoth lived and bred.[1]
The march of the Noldor in early First Age was halted there, when Fëanor was mortally wounded by Balrogs. The Noldor then encircled the land (at least in the south), starting the Siege of Angband.[1]
Dor Daedeloth lay north of Ard-galen, the great grassy plain north of Beleriand.
In the published Silmarillion, the name Dor Daedeloth is translated as "Land of the Shadow of Horror".[2]

|Besides the part where I'm not a rabbit, this is so true (also, I can spell "fourth")
So there's good news and bad news about my lack of blog posts. The bad news: I'm out of practice and I can't promise sound writing. The good news: I've mostly not been blogging because I've been having a great time doing tons of other fun things. Also, I've taken lots of photos so I don't actually have to worry about the quality of my writing!
The University of Turku:
This is a view heading up a hill on campus towards the library - the building here is a university building, but I couldn't tell you what exactly is in there. It is a steep hill, though, and I have to catch my breath at the end of it almost every time I ascend.
This is a path on campus that leads to a building called Juslenia, where my Finnish course and Baltic Sea Region lectures are held. The campus is situated in an interesting mix of settings. In some places it is surrounded by foliage like this, and in other places it very much blends in with Turku's more urban landscapes. Since I last blogged these leaves have changed color and fallen off...yikes!
This is the inside of the ICT building (Information and Communication Technology), and it is very modern looking. In fact, most of the buildings (even some of the older ones), are much more sleek and modern than a lot of US university buildings. If you notice, the seats in the foyer actually spell ICT. I don't have any classes in here, but sometimes I get lunch in their cafeteria.
This is the courtyard area between the Educarium and Publicum buildings. Again, these buildings have a very modern feel to them - inside and out. Both buildings host different departments or faculties, lecture halls, offices, small libraries, and computer rooms. Educarium also houses the sports facilities, the IT helpdesk, and another cafeteria.
A closer look at the bike ports outside the buildings. Bicycling is a very popular mode of transportation not only for students but also for the population of Turku as a whole. Bike lanes all over the city make bicycling around a very practical form of transport. I personally take the bus just because I had a hard time finding an affordable bike and in the winter (now) there is no way I would try to bike anywhere. Didn't make sense to drop 80 EUR on a used bike that I would only use for two months. Plus, public transportation is AWESOME!
This is the front of the Turku School of Economics (Turun = Of Turku, Kauppakorkeakoulu = School of Economics) - sometimes there are more bikes outside of this building than the Educarium/Publicum courtyard.
Inside the School of Economics - it is also very modern architecturally. It has a cafeteria (below), lecture halls, offices, departments, a small bookstore, small library, computer room, and most importantly for me the International Office.
Turun Yliopisto is Finnish for University of Turku. This is the Main Building - it's both an administrative and academic facility.
This is another courtyard - to the left is the Main Library, straight ahead is the Natural Sciences Building, and to the right is the Main Building. These buildings definitely are not as modern as some of the others. The courtyard is nice, though. It's difficult to see but just beyond the red flowers is a fountain with a statue of the Finnish Maiden on it. Apparently, Finland is shaped like a woman sticking her arm out in a flowing dress. Hence, the Finnish Maiden. If you, like me, are having a hard time visualizing that this should help:
I happen to think it's shaped more like a fish (I apologize for my lousy photoshop skills):

Southeastern, USF, UF Rank High for Online Education
Source: Lakeland Ledger, 01/17/13
View Original Article
By Mary Toothman
Southeastern University and the University of South Florida were among several Florida colleges given shout-outs with the latest ranking from the "U.S. News & World Report" for online education programs.
The report is designed to help students evaluate their online higher education options.
Southeastern University in Lakeland ranked 71st among private universities that offer online graduate education degrees. Statewide, it ranked fourth — topped by the University of Florida, Florida State University and the University of South Florida.
Southeastern University's online MBA program ranked 79th, and, as the university pointed out, second in Florida. It also ranked 71st for graduate education programs.
Gainesville-based UF ranked fourth for its online MBA program, 34th in bachelor's, 18th in graduate education and 26th in graduate engineering.
Tampa-based USF ranked 47th for best online graduate education programs and 22nd for graduate engineering programs.
Only degree-granting programs offered 100-percent online were considered, and they were ranked based on student engagement, faculty credentials and training and students services and technology, the report says.
Admissions selectivity was considered in the online master's degree program rankings, and academic peer reputation was regarded in ranking engineering and business programs.
Southeastern University educators expressed pride over the rankings. Joe Childs, dean of the college of business and legal studies, said it's the first time for a ranking for the program. Some factors he named that contributed included the faculty, for creating and sustaining a quality program, student engagement, variety in the learning experience and smaller classes sizes.
Southeastern's Dean of Education Douglas Roth said the ranking is a tribute to faculty and graduate students.
"We are also blessed to call Lakeland home to our university," he said in an email response.
"This setting allows us to recruit excellent professors and develop quality programs."
At USF, the university reports that about 58 percent of its students take at least one online course.
"Online learning is rapidly becoming an important and integral part of higher education delivery," Provost Ralph Wilcox said in a statement, "... and each of these national recognitions provides evidence of USF's ongoing commitment to expanding accessibility to our many outstanding programs to students for whom the traditional campus-based college or university experience is difficult because of various life factors."

I'm still in favor of the deal, but I don't think his current Type A status will be much of a factor.
Go BLUE!!!
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
Unless his numbers fall completely off, he'll most likely remain a Type A free agent.
Good solid work by WJ. What's next?

"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
I'm not up in arms or anything, I just think we're doing what fans of a team always do when their team makes a trade: playing up the value upside of the guy(s) they got and diminishing the value of the guy(s) they gave up.
The values of the sides here based on reasonable projections are close enough that it simply comes down to how the guys play in 2009 and if the prospects develop. I think he's roughly comparable to what we'll get from Hanigan and no matter what, there's only 700 PA to be had between them. I don't think Freel, Turner, Waring, and $2M is worth 200 extra PA of Hanigan. If Hernandez puts up his peak numbers again, it's a pretty clear win -- but I just don't see that happening. And I think there's a real risk of Hernandez continuing to decline, hitting .250/.300/.360, and still getting the lion's share of the PA's because he's the "proven vet".
My biggest concern remains our OF situation. I would've made Castillo my #2 catcher and focused elsewhere. I'm concerned that we're frittering away the room we have to maneuver and will be unable to do anything impactful with LF. As I said, deck chairs.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Plenty of time. They've made a run at Dye already...I would've made Castillo my #2 catcher and focused elsewhere.
We don't know how well Castillo catches.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
"Strickland Propane... Taste the meat, not the heat." - Hank Hill
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
2. Freel and Co. were not going to be primary trade chips to focus anywhere else. There is no reason why you can't "focus elsewhere" beginning now.
I applaud this trade.
Go BLUE!!!

I'm pretty new to flash and particularly actionscript.
I have created an animated loop, which uses movies clips running on a single frame.
I was considering adding a script whereby additional movie clip symbols are added to the stage as the number of times the animation has looped reaches pre determined values (presumably using a dedicated 'playcount variable') in order to keep the loop fresh.
I was wondering whether anyone could propose a method and script by which this could be achieved; if so, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and all the best!
Apologies for the horrendously long thread title, this question was a little tricky for me to summarize

2003 minnesota
Unverified Voracity Collapses Under Buffalo
As told by Bo. MGoUser Don unearthed this piece of coaching film nostalgia explained by Bo himself:
These days you don't see defensive linemen go to the ground like that when doubled, because they're not 230 pounds anymore. The rest of it remains accurate to this day. Meanwhile, the NFL's hot new trend is Bo offense. Someday that guy's going to make something of himself.
Ten years ago. At some point in the third quarter something terrible happened in the Metrodome, causing me to reflexively go "aaaurrrgh" or something similar, and part of this was a frenzied hand motion that relocated my girlfriend at the time from the couch to the floor. Then Michigan won the game. Minnesota 2003, everybody!
The Star-Tribune delves into the crippling loss ten years on:
"If we win that game, the program is 100 percent different, no doubt about it," said former quarterback Bryan Cupito, a freshman in '03. "If we win that game, I would say the next five years of Minnesota football is completely different. I think that would have changed things in a big way."
For one, flipping the result of that game would have created a four-way logjam at the top of the Big Ten standings with Michigan, OSU, Purdue, and Minnesota all at 6-2. That Gopher team had an unbelievable amount of talent in the run game—Thomas Tapeh, Marion Barber, and Laurence Maroney were all on that team—but they could not survive the John Navarre show in the fourth quarter.
"Once they started scoring touchdowns," Utecht said, "that little voice kind of pops into your head like, 'Oh no, please tell me this is not going to happen again.' "
Maroney and Matt Spaeth would at last get their revenge two years later when Jim Herrmann called the worst blitz ever in that weird game where they turned the clock off.
Say hello to more iso. Space Coyote breaks down the manballiest play of them all, iso:
While iso's not really something you can base your offense around it can acquire larger chunks when linebackers are shooting gaps like crazy (like ND was) or when you've got a numerical advantage with your QB. In normal situations it's a small gain. This is a good point:
With the move of Glasgow to center and the insertion of Bryant into the lineup at LG, it means a few changes may be in order. Bryant, less the fleet of foot and more the very large, squatty man that is more of a hitter and less of a reacher, probably indicates that Michigan will go to more of a traditional man blocking scheme. Add on that Glasgow isn't the quickest of players for the center position in a stretch run team, and it's likely that Michigan will be running less zone stretch and more gap blocking type activities (with the occasional inside zone mixed in).
What a bizarre shift, and one that should sap your enthusiasm for the new-look offensive line. They've been trying to do one thing a lot for four games and now that they've got Bryant the thing that makes sense is to dump all that preparation in the trash and hope to do something not quite entirely different. Bler.
Not sure why inside zone isn't something SC thinks will feature; me, it seems to makes sense with the personnel and the apparent zone focus of the offseason.
Talking with Chatman's people. People get all out of joint about the 247 Crystal Ball when it's wrong, as it was with Kameron Chatman*, but, you know, like, whatever. It's just, like, people's opinion, man. They should add a confidence rating so we can distinguish between "I will eat my hat if Malik McDowell does not end up at Michigan" and "if I could withdraw this prediction I would but since I cannot here is a blindfolded man pointing a gun." Chatman would have been the latter for us.
Beilein got the thing done in the usual way: identifying talent early and getting on it before anyone else did:
"The thing we liked about Michigan was, first and foremost, Michigan has been recruiting us the longest," Mr. Chatman said. "Coach (Beilein) has been in with us. Coach Meyer started his recruitment in July of 2012, and he's been there since day one. From him going up to Long Beach Poly, checking out open gyms, staying in contact when Kameron couldn't play — our relationship even started prior to that, and then to stick through it and even turn it up. In the spring and summer, Michigan's interest was apparent all the way through."
It was not the guy you might expect that really caught the Chatmans' eyes:
"I think Kameron was very impressed with the development of Jordan Morgan and his story. Not necessarily coming in being the guy who could be forecasted to play in the Big Ten as a contributor but will possibly be a full-time starter this year and is also in graduate school. He'll go on to be successful."
That's a guy with his eye on some unusual things.
*[Note that Ace and I are jointly operating the main MGoBlog predictotron there; I was the one who projected Chatman to Arizona, not Ace.]
Dominoes. Everything is happening right away in basketball recruiting:
- Michigan coaches visited IN SG James Blackmon Jr last night en masse, hours after Blackmon tweeted out "decision coming soon"; in the aftermath Bacari Alexander sent out something starting with "it's been real" but that he was returning to the guys already on the team to get practice going. Many internets have decided that this means something bad about Blackmon, but in context—Alexander tweeting out pictures of the jet he and the crew are flitting around in, another en masse visit to Grantham—I don't read anything into that.
- Speaking of WV PF Donte Grantham, he announces between Michigan and Clemson tomorrow at noon. Insiders are all over the place on who it'll be. Grantham just took an unofficial to Clemson and Michigan just descended on him with the whole staff; tea leaves are murky. A 50-50 proposition.
- There's no such uncertainty with CA PF DJ Wilson, who's visiting this weekend and should be offered, whereupon the universe expects an instant commit. Wilson's the lowest-ranked of the guys Michigan's after but as a 6'9" super-intelligent (he's got Ivy offers aplenty) shooter he's the sort of kid Beilein snaps up without thinking twice. If things get really crammed and Wilson is amenable he might take a prep school year, but with other BCS options and increasing interest that's asking a lot.
- MS SG Devin Booker takes his official this weekend, and while most feel he's ticketed for Kentucky now I'm saying there's a chance. As previously mentioned, one or the other may get pushed away from Kentucky when the first one drops. Any rumors about MSU getting in on Booker look pretty flimsy given a couple of Plan D offers Izzo just shot out to wing types.
Blackmon has a visit to UK set for the 18th; Booker set a tentative commit date of October 31st; he later took that back but that remains a reasonable timeline. Michigan's 2014 class should be full-ish by the end of the month.
HEY YOU'RE A JERK (you're right shhh). Don't talk about my sister like that, only I talk about my sister like that:
"I think he kind of just panics a lot," Minnesota safety Cedric Thompson told the Minneapolis Star Tribune in a story published Wednesday. "I think when he scrambles, he kind of just throws the ball."
Gardner will revert to old bad ways when pressured or rolling out, which is about 90% of his accuracy issues. Not like Cedric Thompson is going to benefit from this information, since Cedric Thompson is probably going to be eating paste as someone runs by him. (Cue Minnesota blog version of this bullet.)
Trying to make it big. The NYT on the BTN's adoption of college hockey:
"We're in an investing phase, not in a moneymaking phase, with Big Ten hockey," Silverman said. "The hope is, over time, that we can grow the sport so it can pay for itself and hopefully be an overall benefit to the network.
"We think it will bring in new viewers. We think it will help with our ratings. But we're making a significant investment, and it's not a short-term investment."
They have nine consecutive doubleheaders on Friday nights, which is the reason you have no gametimes on your tickets. A lot of those are at 7 or 6:30, which might dent attendance. Hopefully Michigan can make it work, as the atmosphere inside Yost is still one of the main draws to college hockey even after its undeniably steady decade-long decline.
By the way, those UNH games that were inexplicably going untelevised have been picked up by Fox College Sports. That leaves the following games as the only untelevised ones this year:
- @ RIT (which is televised locally on what looks like a Time Warner channel like Comcast's)
- Michigan Tech, Friday Nov. 1
- @ UNO, Saturday Nov. 16
- @ Wisconsin, Jan. 11
- Wisconsin, Feb. 1
- @ Penn State, Feb 7
That's a quantum leap forward, especially with UNO and RIT offering live streams. This is how far the college-hockey-on-TV thing has come: even the USA game is set to be televised(!) on FSD.
Etc.: Inside the Western Michigan rainout decision. Ole Miss players heckle "Laramie Project" performance. This never happens at New Miss. This is not a humor article about craft beer, because it is the truth. Losing, faking, and recovering the Brown Jug. The 1930s were fun. Jon Falk honored.
Dear Diary, Two-Man QB Depth Charts are Really Spooky!
Can you guess what was wrong with Herb? Also the copyright to this at the end says "U.M.&M."
Of all the things to despise about the new divisions—like the MSU game being technically more important every year than Ohio State—at least let's admit there's one wonderful benefit: Michigan-Minnesota is back to every year.
The historians like this one because there were some major powers with some major players who went on or ended some major streaks back in the day. But with more than enough annual powers on the schedule these days, I kind of like having this one historically poignant yet presently non-stressful mid-year contest with the people who invented cooking the cheese inside the actual hamburger.
After yet another Hallow's Eve scare, a nice jug of hot cider and Minnesota's safeties are just the thing. Alas, it is not Jug Saturday yet, and there's some things from last week that we need to over again. Like what happens when you lose your 5-star quarterback?
You Get This One Chance. Why is it every time we've got like THE MAN under center, the minute he goes out it's terror central? Not just Denard against Nebraska but the crater when Mallett departed, or the black hole that formed when Henne's arm was removed from its socket against Oregon in 2007, or the feeling in the pit of your stomach when that Buckeye Steinbrenner bought off Drew Henson (right). Enter oakapple, who goes back through recent history to show how the uber recruit tends to both work out and scare off competition. Whyfore wast thou oppos'd to class, bygone son of Forcier?
He hits on some good questions—like the handling of Gardner. But if he looked back further, to the deep recruiting of the time after Bo, he might have seen a different magic.
Gameboy went back over Michigan's 2012 opponents past to pull up percentages for how much better our defense fared against them than their average opponents. Michigan got blown out by Alabama about exactly the same way everyone else did, and we beat UMass the same way everyone else beat on UMass. As for the rest, the defensive performances have one other outlier in Air Force (we did marginally better than Mountain West teams) and otherwise stand as "omigod that was a tough defense" in the memories of everyone else. I fixed his charts to make them more legible so the descriptions may be a bit off.

WPA Charts
Michigan takes their first loss of the season in a wild one in Eugene. Three special teams touchdowns, Michigan recovering the onside kick with a chance for a dramatic comeback from an 18 point second half deficit that wasn't to be.
Michigan takes control early with a 14 point first quarter lead, only to see Iowa reverse course to go up 30-20 midway through the fourth. Braylon Edwards goes for a 41 yard touchdown and the Wolverine D forces a three and out. But Michigan's final drive stalls on Iowa's half of the field.
Michigan's third game with big swings finally goes their way. Michigan trailed 28-7 at the end of the third quarter with their only touchdown coming on the famed Breaston to Navarre connection. Four fourth quarter touchdowns would tie the game and Garrett Rivas hit from 33 yards out with less than a minute to go to give Michigan it's final margin.
Tressel's only loss to Michigan in ten tries saw Michigan in control until the fourth quarter. A John Navarre interception gave the Buckeyes the ball back down seven with 13 minutes to play, but a three and out, a scare on a fumbled punt return and an 87 yard touchdown drive would push the lead back to 14 and Ohio wouldn't threaten again.
Season Summary
In terms of contribution to success, the 2003 Michigan team was highly balanced. Chris Perry would be the player that took home the hardware, those of you have followed my articles are familiar with the lack of love EV+ and WPA have for running backs. Perry certainly had an outstanding season but benefited from a lot of carries and the famed position as lead back at Michigan. In all, Perry and the ground game, a solid Navarre and a pretty good defense would give Michigan its last outright Big Ten title and only victory over a Jim Tressell-led Buckeye team.
For being BIG TEN FOOTBALL, the season featured several wild comeback games. Michigan pulled out a win over Minnesota but dropped games to a solid Iowa team and an unranked Oregon team. The Rose Bowl saw Michigan take on the first USC juggernaut that went on to win the AP crown despite missing out on the BSC title game.
Heisman Re-Vote
2003 was a tough vote for the Heisman. Jason White, Larry Fitzgerald, Eli Manning and Chris Perry were the finalists. My four finalists would have been Ben Roethlisberger, Larry Fitzgerald, Philip Rivers and Matt Leinart (sorry Chris).
Ben Roethlisberger +11 EV+ and Larry Fitzgerald +9 have the best claims to the most valuable season. Fitzgerald's EV+ was the best wideout rating in the 9 years of data I have accumulated.
If you don't like mid-majors or wideouts, Philip Rivers was the best BCS QB or RB at +8 for NC State. If you think the winner needs to be a "winner" and have a team in title contention, then Leinart's your man. At +7 he is well ahead of the other title contenders, eventual winner Jason White from OU (+4) and Matt Mauck from LSU (+0).
My vote: Larry Fitzgerald, a once in a decade receiving season and no dominant BCS QBs makes this my clear choice
My Post-Season Top 25
|AP Rank
|Miami (OH)
|Kansas St
|Oregon St
|Miami (FL)
|Washington St
|Florida St
|Ohio St
|NC St
|New Mexico
|Texas Tech
|Boise St
|Bowling Green
The top five compared pretty closely between the two. The notable exceptions were the two teams from Ohio. Roethlisberger's Red Hawks check at #3 in my final rankings where that other team from Ohio was highly overrated based on a number of close wins. Michigan gets a slight bump up to #5.
EV+: Opponent adjusted expected value. How many points a player/team/unit was worth relative to average performance against the same opponent. Excludes all garbage time plays and fumbles (considered random).
WPA: Win Percent Added. How much each player/unit contributed to winning games. Each team starts a game with a 50% chance. For the first three quarters in a competitive game this will track directly alongside EV. In games with larger margins almost all plays have zero value. Plays in the fourth quarter/OT of tight games will have a higher leverage based on the situation. This is largely were WPA deviates from EV+. WPA for offensive players will be higher if the teams defense is bad and vice versa. If your defense is giving you good field position and stopping the opponent, there is less opportunity for the offense to "win" the game. If your defense is terrible your WPA numbers will be higher because there is constant pressure for the offense to succeed. Includes all plays.
Ranks: The ()'d numbers after ratings are the national rank first followed by the conference rank. If there is a team/name after the rank, that is the leader of the category.
Talent Rank: Total team talent estimate based on recruiting rankings of all players on that year's roster based on all available major scouting services. Only counts plays currently on the roster and weights players with more years on the team higher than new recruits.

9/10/2011 – Michigan 35, Notre Dame 31 – 2-0
is this real life?
Not only can Denard Robinson redefine All-America teams, average nearly 500 yards per game against Notre Dame, and pilot the most insane fourth quarter Michigan Stadium has ever seen, but he can sum up what happened on Saturday in a single word:
If you still need evidence that Denard can do things other people can't, there you go. Because I've got nothing. I can gape, slack-jawed and twitching, if you'd like. Oh, and I can put my finger between my lips and go "brrrrrrrrrbbrbrbrbrbrbrbrbrrbb" with crazy googly eyes. Also I can spin in a circle going "yip yip yip yip yip."
These are my capabilities. All other functions are currently offline. Attempt to access higher cognition and you will receive 503 Gateway Not Found.
That's fine. There's nothing to say that "brrrrrrbrbrbrbrbrrbrbrb" doesn't cover anyway. I am so high, you guys. I don't even know what I'm saying.
Seriously. I'm really struggling here to put words in the computer. I guess… okay.
The thing I really really hated about the first three quarters (other than everything) was the way the offense made Denard mortal. This extended beyond the usual reasons 90 yards of offense in a half make you homicidal. Not only were we lost and hopeless in our first serious game after returning nine starters from one of the nation's most explosive offenses, but the guy who didn't transfer when his offense got fired out from under him was busy playing out everyone's worst-case scenarios.
I don't think I can take football games in which I'd rather have Alex Carder than Denard Robinson. A return of freshman Denard looking like a sad panda is too depressing for a multitude of reasons but mostly because just look at him:
Shoehorning him into an offense that doesn't fit him is a crime against man and panda and manpanda. He had to be dying in the first half as he flung balls to Tacopants and ran waggles the entire stadium could predict. People twittered me about moving him to RB so Gardner can get on the field. I couldn't block them from my phone. The tweets sat there, whispering evil things into my ear.
As I projected Denard's state of mind my own got inky black. The road ahead seemed like another two years of painful rebuilding towards a goal Denard will never see, his career relegated to that of Brandon Graham when Desmond Howard seemed in reach. It's going to kill me if Denard ends up a really good player on a mediocre team for the duration of his career and Michigan doesn't end up making anyone who wants 16 in the future wear a patch with dreads on it. It's going to be worse if he's not even a really good player. Someone is at fault for this travesty.
I was running advanced equations of blame assignment amongst Bill Martin, Rich Rodriguez, Al Borges, Dave Brandon, and bloody fate when Denard rolled out. Corralled by a Notre Dame defender, he stood perfectly still but still delivered a game-changing dart to Junior Hemingway before two more ND players could close in.
From there the delirium took over.
That game was delirious because of the many improbable events stacked on each other. Jeremy Gallon jump-ball touchdowns. Tommy Rees's aiming device locked on Michael Floyd. Tommy Rees throwing a ball backwards for no reason. More jump balls to Junior Hemingway and Roy Roundtree and Jeremy Gallon turning invisible with 23 seconds left. All the reasons it left you with your finger between your teeth are reasons to wonder about the smoothness of this transition (not very), the repeatability of such miracles (even less).
This isn't to blame anyone—it seems that coaches are who they are and as much as I want to, you can't hire a guy based on the two years left you've got with Denard. But I hope I'm not the only one who felt a sense of foreboding in the midst of the joy and relief. We've seen this script the last two years, and never has it been as rickety.
Michigan has to fix some stuff—lots of stuff—by the Big Ten season. The stakes are only Denard's career, everyone's faith in the Ethical Les Miles theory of Hoke's success, and the very survival of pandas in the wild. I'll take the escape. I wonder what happens when the drugs wear off and real life reasserts itself.
For now, though:
The game is ova!
Non-Bullets Of WHAT?
Pantheon placement. I think this is below Braylonfest—but only just—in the competition for Best Comeback Ever (that people 32 or under remember). For Michigan to pull Braylonfest out they had to recover an onside kick and survive not just triple overtime by an oft-forgotten 50-yard field goal attempt at the end of regulation that was set up by a horrible pass interference call.
A good proxy for the level of kickass in your comeback is how many people left the stadium early. While there were some people who took off when ND made it 24-7, they don't compare to the legions who left early during that MSU game. And winning that eventually got Michigan a Rose Bowl appearance. The season-long significance of this ND game is going to be lower.
It easily beats out the Buffalo Stampede game, since it's not against Minnesota or in the Metrodome, and then it's a long way to fourth place.
As far as best game ever… it depends on what you're rating it on. I like my defining victories to be well-played and not hinge on the opposing quarterback throwing the ball backwards for no reason. In terms of pure drama it's up there but with both teams unranked and not looking likely to defy that I'd say most Ohio State games before we stopped being competitive had more salt to them. We lost all the ones that came down to the last play, though.
The entire Denard interview. If you missed this, you should fix that:
Commence the bitching about the offense. Watching Michigan run a play-action bomb from the I-formation after averaging exactly two yards per carry out of the I on previous attempts was exactly what I was beating into the ground over the offseason. No one is scared of Michigan's crappy backs running power out of the I-form so no one has to cheat to it. Thus instead of Worst Waldo plays featuring Roy Roundtree and twenty yards of grass we got a lot of hopeful downfield jump balls into excellent coverage.
Michigan was lucky as hell to get most of those. That was a Jeff Bowden special right there. I'm not alone in this. There has to be some adaptation now that we know the relative success rates of manball and Denardball. When Denard's averaging 7.5 YPC (sack excluded) and the rest of the backs under are 2, power is a lost cause.
Denard has to be the focal point of the offense, fragile or no. And the new offense seemed to remove Denard's legs as the primary threat without actually reducing his carries: he had 15 carries* in just 50 snaps. Project that to last year's 72 offensive snaps per game and Denard would have carried 22(!) times. What's the point of throwing away snaps on two-yard runs from the I?
*[sack removed.]
Primary thing that may just work. "Chuck it up to Hemingway" may be the world's most primitive passing game but dang if it doesn't work. Hemingway not only has great leaping ability, he's enormous and therefore capable of boxing out opponents. Add in an uncanny knack for being able to high-point the ball and he's a hell of a lot like Marquise Walker before Walker got the dropsies as a senior.
Primary thing that did work from under center. Vincent Smith's throwback screen touchdown was a great call since it used Denard's legs. He rolls, defense freaks, he throws back, Smith should have an easy touchdown if any of the offensive linemen block that one linebacker, Smith makes it happen anyway. Contrast with the earlier screen where a short Denard has to float a ball over a guy leaping in his face and ends up throwing it eight yards too far and getting it picked off.
And introducing… Facepalm Guy. The facepalm guy from the sad fugee face picture in the "So I Was Like" post: the the new Lloyd Brady? He's already won an award for "Media Criticism" from Doctor Saturday.
1) He caught ESPN's camera's capturing his facepalm moment and gave them an oh-no-you-di'in't:
2) After the game he… well, he did this:
Can a brother get a Facepalm Guy touchdown Jesus photoshop?
(HT to MGoUser Haterade.)
Defensive events. Brandon Herron and Mike Jones were supposedly out with injury but if I had to guess they were not so badly hurt they couldn't play and Michigan was trying out their other options at WLB. Desmond Morgan started, played poorly—he got trucked like he was in a BTN practice highlight-type substance—and was yanked. Then Brandin Hawthorne came in and may have been plausible. He knifed into the backfield for one key TFL on third and short. I'm guessing he was at least partially responsible for a number of Cierre Wood runs that went for big yardage, but we'll see. WLB remains a sore spot.
The other sore spot is an alarming, unexpected one: WDE. Craig Roh had zero tackles for the second straight week and while he did get a QB hurry or two he seems less impactful from that spot than he did last year. I mean, last year he split two ND linemen and picked up a huge TFL en route to a +11 day. This year he'll be lucky to break even. Hopefully he's still sick. I wonder if we see more Black in the short term.
How did Jordan Kovacs only have eight tackles?
BONUS: Will Campbell got held! By an offensive lineman!
Special teams. Matt Wile has been at least average spelling Hagerup, and with only one more real-ish game left before the latter returns it looks like Michigan will escape that suspension without much real damage. I still hate the regular punt. If ND's John Goodman hadn't made inexplicable fair catches he had tons of room on two of Wile's five punts despite Wile's excellent hangtime.
The patch thing. It's pretty cool. Some potential tweaks and additions:
- Should we un-retire numbers? I could get behind a 98 if it meant someone was going to be sitting in front of a locker that said Tom Harmon. You'd have to ask whoever the nearest relative is.
Further locker room additions. Everyone who's been an All-American should have their name engraved in a fashion more understated than this legends designation…
...but still be there. Having Chappius and Oosterbaan and Friedman and McKenzie and Dierdorf and Long's names up in the locker room would be a nice way to recognize All-Americans past.
- Next up. AC and Woodson. If they don't put the retired numbers back in circulation. Jake Long would probably be next up way down the road.
- The patch is too big. That's just, like, my opinion, man.
So there's this. Exploit your children for fun and profit:
Profit not applicable.
Pom-poms and RAWK and crowd noise. Is it just me or was the stadium not actually very loud when it would help out the most? The pom-poms encouraged people to use their hands shaking pom-poms instead of making noise and while the piped-in music was indeed loud, when it cut out the people in the stadium making noise were largely going "OH oh oh oh oh, OH oh oh oh oh" instead of "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA." The latter is louder.
Putting aside the insults to the Great Tradition they represent, is the noise level created by the frippery mostly cosmetic? It has seemed much louder in Michigan Stadium—I was frustrated as I was screaming myself hoarse on the last drive while people around me shook their little plastic thingies. Plastic thingy shaking is not that intimidating, people.
And then there's the guy two rows in front of you who's shaking the thing constantly so you can't see the game. In the South they have a protocol about these things: raise that thing above your shoulder during a play and you're not getting that arm back. Here we get them every five years or so and there's always someone who thinks row 14 is the last one.
Ace took a video of the final kickoff. I'm going to point you to "so I was like" again because dammit I can. Chunkums took some killer photos, but hasn't animated them yet:
ST3 goes inside the box score. Michael Scarn says trying to describe that game was like taking a picture of Bigfoot. Post-ND MonuMental riff by ppToilet. (You can't choose your username, man, it chooses you.) MonuMental himself shows up to modify his Denard action figure for the occasion.
Pretty much the best. An obviously drunk Jeff at Maize Pages digs up the fantastically entertaining Roundtree-Shaw Newlywed game BTN video in response to the delerium.
Photo galleries and assorted media. Pregame shots from MNB Nation. Other shots from MNBN. The Shredder took a zillion shots. Tailgating from AnnArbor.com. Also the game. Here's a great stadium shot from Melanie Maxwell:
Also here's this dude:
The whole gallery is worth checking out.
The Desmond Howard emospective has also been youtubed. Try not to get dusty. Ryan Terpstra is making a habit of filming the hell out of ridiculous ND victories:
Wolverine Historian put together a 28 minute highlight reel.
Column-type events. Wojo. More Wojo. MVictors also fills you in on the techno viking behind Hoke: yes, it's Steve Everitt, and no, you do not want to get between him and his cubs. Kyle Meinke says Denard was a big part of the offense and the running backs weren't and that's not so cool. Florek in the Daily.
UGA/M dual-fan Michael at Braves & Birds wonders whether it's better to play poorly and win (as Michigan did) or play well and lose (as Georgia did).
Entertaining serieseses of bullets. MVictors:
On the sunny side, they pulled out all the stops in the press box for the media on hand. Witness the butter dish of victory:
This might have been Brandon's special bonus.
[Robinson's] total of 446 yards and 5 touchdowns was excellent, but how he got there was strange. Through three quarters of football, he was 4-for-14 passing (if that accuracy rate sounds familiarly horrible, that's because it's the same as Michigan's kickers circa 2010) for 136 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. In the fourth stanza, Robinson went 8-for-11 for 217 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception, plus a recovered Stephen Hopkins fumble that he turned into a touchdown.
That graph is intended as a baseline estimator for a team's real-time win probability and is independent of situation, but the site also offers a crude win probability calculator, which, while it's calibrated to an NFL scale, can at least give us a decent estimate of how unlikely Michigan's victory was: four percent, Michigan's win probability after Notre Dame's slot receiver scampered into the endzone without a defender in site. Denard Robinson laughs at your probabilities and says, "Really? Oh man, that's crazy," and throws the ball to Jeremy Gallon standing alone in the Notre Dame secondary.
Maize and Blue Nation wins best headline: "The Denard. The Denard. The Denard."
National takes: Adam Jacobi marvels and notes that Robinson couldn't throw the ball even when he was completing passes; he also points out that uh… the Big Ten is not so much this year. Doctor Saturday:
Here, instead of merely covering poorly, Notre Dame subsequently failed to cover Wolverine receiver Jeremy Gallon at all, incredibly freeing him for a 64-yard sprint to the Irish 16-yard line with eight seconds left for a) A couple shots at the winning touchdown; b) A shot at a field goal to tie; or c) A confused catastrophe that left 110,000 people contemplated mass hara-kiri. With all of every one of those people secretly fearing c), Robinson delivered the dagger.
Robinson was, again, heroic for Michigan. He has brutalized the Irish the past two seasons, rolling up a mind-boggling 948 yards of total offense to go with eight TDs. His performance in the fourth quarter Saturday night was downright epic: 7 of 9, 202 yards, three passing touchdowns to go with six carries for 24 yards and another TD. In all, he accounted for a staggering 226 of his team's 229 yards.
In Case You Live Under A Rock
Of The Decade: Best Plays Part II
Previously in this series: ESPN Images, Michigan's offense, Michigan's defense, Worst Plays of The Decade 7-11, Worst Plays 1-6, Best Plays Part I.
6. Buffalo Stampede
2003 Minnesota: trailing 14-0, Michigan has driven to around midfield. John Navarre chucks a WR screen to Steve Breaston, who throws it back to Navarre. Forty yards later, we all have beards and Michigan is within seven points.
At some point in the 2003 Minnesota game I needed to get off the couch after something enraging had happened. I was on it with my girlfriend at the time and she sort of ended up on the ground as I executed my plan. The couch was low to the ground, she was unharmed, and in the aftermath the incident seemed funny. At the time all I could do was clench and unclench my fists.
Michigan would eventually deploy an all-shotgun offense in the fourth quarter that shredded Minnesota for 24 points and win the game on a Garrett Rivas 33-yarder, but at the time it was grim. It would have been more grim but for the trick play of the decade:
In the aftermath a friend immediately called me screaming "WHAT." It wasn't a question. It was just "WHAT." That. From seven year's distance it appears to be the slowest, most awkward touchdown convoy in school history.
Eventually it was key in Michigan's comeback win and Rose Bowl berth but really it's just here for its sheer improbability. It was one thing to run the transcontinental with Drew Henson; doing it with John Navarre—and getting a touchdown out of it—is pure audacity. This, by the way, is why Minnesota bloggers will never do a Worst Plays of the Decade list.
5. In ur base killin ur d00dz
MGoRetro: Pit Bull.
Penn State, 2006: it's second or third and long or something again, can't remember, doesn't matter, and I'm back in the pocket and I know I'm going to die. My offensive line has proven itself entirely hypothetical at this point. So I'm going to die, and it's not going to have any purpose. But this time I actually get a faint semblance of protection and I manage to find an open receiver—I'd forgotten those even existed—and I hurl it out there. And if Alan Branch hadn't driven his facemask into my shoulder and run through my tiny hoo-man body and left me in a concussed heap on the ground I would have gotten to see a first down. Which would have been nice.
But then I might have had to play the rest of the game instead of getting an emergency cup of pudding repurposed from JoePa's stash. So, yeah. I could go either direction, as long as it's 180 degrees from wherever Branch is going.
When Michigan fans are (unwisely, these days) attempting to tweak their Penn State coworkers this play, and the iconic image from its aftermath, is their go-to option. That's a meaningful statement when you've got most of a decade's worth of gloating to choose from, including another play on this list.
As for the significance of the play, Penn State had bounced back from its early decade malaise in a big way in 2005, going 11-1 with the only loss featured a bit higher on this list. By the time the PSU game rolled around in '06 it was obviously the only thing standing between Michigan and a 1-vs-2 matchup against Ohio State at the end of the season. Michigan's last four opponents would all finish with losing records; the only road game was against Indiana. When Anthony Morelli got blasted out of the game the decks were clear.
More than that, though, Alan Branch being in ur base is emblematic of the first ten games of 2006, when the Michigan defense was 1997 all over again and things were, briefly, back on course.
4. "Oh, wide open"
MGoRetro: Quod Erat Demonstrandum
Notre Dame, 2006: Late in the first quarter, Michigan and Notre Dame are tied 7-7 after exchanging terrible interceptions when Chad Henne drops back to pass and launches one deep. Pat Haden breaks the suspense before the cameraman can catch up to a streaking Manningham by declaring "oh, wide open." When Manningham finally appears he is running under a perfectly thrown ball, all alone.
Michigan entered the 2006 game uncertain of its place in the college football universe after a frustrating 7-5 season this blog nicknamed the "Year of Infinite Pain," if only to highlight how sheltered the Michigan fanbase has been in the aftermath of the last couple years. And if Alan Branch sending Anthony Morelli to his happy place was emblematic of Michigan's run to Football Armageddon, Mario Manningham getting ten yards clear of the nearest Notre Dame cornerback was the moment the Year of Infinite Pain became part of the past:
Manningham would score twice more on deep balls as Michigan leapt out to a commanding lead. They didn't look back until the second quarter of the Ohio State game.
3. Braylonfest Part III
Michigan State, 2004: Braylon Edwards skies over yet another Michigan State defensive back, tying a game in which Michigan trailed by 17 with under nine minutes to go.
Braylon Edwards was the most frustrating great player in Michigan history, prone to terrible drops on easy throws and legendarily not "on the same page" as Lloyd Carr. But he was great, and never greater than the last eight minutes of regulation in the 2004 Michigan State game. If they gave out Heismans for a single game, they would have had to give Edwards two for this one.
It almost wasn't anything, though. In this game Michigan was driving in the third quarter, down 17-10, when Edwards fumbled around the 20. He was creeping towards the goat side of the ledger when DeAndra Cobb ran That Goddamned Counter Draw again and outran Ernest Shazor to the sideline and the endzone. But when you're down 17 with under eight minutes left, what is there to do other than chuck it up and tell the onside kick team that they should try really hard?
I remember many things about that game. I remember being cold as hell as the game dragged on and the heat fled from the stadium. I remember going over to a friend's house afterward and being told by his roommates that they had actually left immediately after the DeAndra Cobb TD. I remember another friend telling me that a State friend of his had turned the game off as soon as Michigan hit the field goal to get within 14—he didn't even wait for the onside kick. I remember turning around and jovially telling the State fans behind me that it was good that MSU missed their last-second 52-yard field goal attempt to win after a terrible PI call, because if it had gone in there was no way they were getting out of the stadium alive. But mostly I remember the shadows that gave the whole enterprise an otherworldly feel. It's without question the best game I've ever been to.
The pick here is the game-tying touchdown, as at that point victory seemed inevitable and the comeback was complete. Without it, the others are just coulda-been plays like the Mike Hart touchdown in the Horror.
2. Phil Brabbs is absolutely not going to make this field goal
Washington, 2002: Phil Brabbs hits a 44 yard field goal as time expires to beat Washington.
I've interacted with Phil Brabbs a little bit since he came down with cancer and I've read his blog and am wearing his bracelet, so I have a little insight here. The bracelet says DOMINATE and his blog has pictures of him DOMINATING various things from hospital ice cream to IVs to chemo drugs. Sometimes he makes his adorable children DOMINATE things. He's kind of like anthropomorphized Brawndo. So I'm betting that when Brabbs strolled onto the field after a preposterous sequence of events set him up with a potential game-winning field goal in the 2002 season opener, he was totally psyched to dominate himself some 44-yard field goal.
In this, he was utterly alone.
I'm sure his parents and wife tell him that they just knew he'd hit it, but after a career debut in which he missed 36 and 42 yard field goals badly enough for Michigan to send out Troy Neinberg on a 27-yarder that he shanked, no one in Michigan Stadium thought a 44-yard field goal with no time left on the clock was going in. This includes those nearest and dearest to him. I was just hoping it went forward.
Naturally, Brabbs did this:
Though Washington would end up one of the country's biggest disappointments at 7-6, they entered Michigan Stadium a top ten opponent. The moment the kick actually went through the actual uprights and everyone looked at the guy under the crossbar to make sure they hadn't hallucinated it, then looked at the other guy under the crossbar to make sure the first guy hadn't been hallucinating too, promised grand things. (That would fall apart in a ridiculous loss at Notre Dame in two weeks.)
1. The New Math
MGoRetro: The New Math.
Penn State, 2005: With one second on the clock, Mario Manningham catches a deep slant to beat Penn State 27-25. 86 = 1, as Michigan State would learn in 2007.
Why is this number one? It didn't end up mattering, and it was already clear it wouldn't since Michigan was already 3-3 and headed nowhere in 2005. It was the end of a classic game that swung dramatically from one side to the other, but other games were better and meant more.
I think it's that :01 on the clock, the knowledge that that second was precarious, fought for by Lloyd Carr after the clock ran after a Michigan timeout, preserved by Steve Breaston's best Tyrone Butterfield impression, and ironically Joe Paterno's fault for getting his team an extra two seconds on what they thought was their game-winning drive. Michigan was living on borrowed time. It seemed like they'd been given a chance to go back and right wrongs. Scott Bakula was at quarterback.
Meanwhile, Michigan was locked in an existential crisis unknown for decades. The 1984 season could be written off as a fluke since Jim Harbaugh's broken leg threw everything into disarray and Michigan bounced right back afterwards; 2005 was entirely different. Michigan had never been 3-3 in my recollection. My brother and I spent a large chunk of the game being bitterly cynical about everything. We felt justified about it after the killer Henne fumble/botched extra point for two combination. We'd collectively decided to dull the pain by withdrawing emotionally. This was working for a while, and then the team decided to give the middle finger to the cosmic middle finger, getting off the mat twice. The culmination:
In the end, the game served as a reminder that bitterness is no fun, faith is rewarded, the kids on the field are more resilient than we are, and sometimes they can let us borrow some of that. A lot of the plays on this list were diminished by subsequent events in which Michigan failed to live up to the promise they had in that one moment, but this one has been magnified by the awful last couple of years. It promises a light at the end of the tunnel.

My dear husband.
techneically you can't spoil a baby that young ... but that said you can not sleep on the couch forever and your husband need at least som nighttime cuddle time.emotionally he probably feels like he has lost you to someone else ( your son) try letting you little guy sleep in his bed he will sleep there longer and longer as he gets used to it.
hey! welcome to the group!! congrats on your first baby! what an exciting,fun time!!
i dont think that your can ever spoil a one month old!
Quoting tla86:
Yes but I want u to know and believe this. Babies are meant to cry and its okay for him to cry in his bed. I know it's going to be hard but as a mother of three u need to know that eventually u are going to have to get him used to sleeping on his own. U don't want him to be five still sleeping in ur bed. Ur hubby needs his wife and u need him. This should be a happy time for you both and I'm sure he's not happy with his beautiful wife on the sofa everynight. Spend time together dont let the best time in both ur lives drive u apart. Compromise. Both of u! Love each other and the little Guy. I bet he's cute. Congratulations!
With my daughter, I just ignored my partner's criticisms plus a big helping of attitude that said "to hell with you!"
I do agree with tla86. Babies cannot never cry.
I am a mom of 4 who said I would never sleep with my baby....then I had my 4th and I slept the first 4 months of his life with him on the couch :P He just needed that kangaroo care for some reason and it was the only way for either of us to get any sleep! I can remember my dh coming in the living room and saying, "Are you ever going to sleep in our bed again?" lol!
Trust me it does get better. Just keep working with him to get him sleeping in his own bed. Finally at 4 mos. my ds was able to sleep in his crib. By then he was too big for the bassinette and never used the new one we had been given for him. I am sure your dh is just missing his wife and feeling left out. Try talking to him about how his comments make you feel at a time when your calm and not feeling so sleep deprived. Let him know your goal is to eventually get your ds to sleep in his own crib, but right now you need his support until you get through this phase. Good Luck!
Thank you everyone! I found all of this very helpful! :) I'm so happy to be able to get stuff like this off of my chest to people that actually have experience. I appreciate it! :) here's a picture of my LO (:
i get in "trouble" too..although my dh does support it but i co-sleep. he thinks i plan on what side of the bed i or one my gurls are on.. whyen he comes home or to bed at 2AM..im to tired..we have gotten in to it cause he gets loud and immature bout it..i try..my dh knows he is a jerk..sometimes..gots to talk w your dp hun..marriage it hard..

HARRISBURG, Pa. — A new proposal to make changes to Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law would include limits on access by inmates and authorize the Office of Open Records to review documents in private to see if they should be released.
The 22-page bill introduced Friday by Sen. Dominic Pileggi of Delaware County, the Republican floor leader, would permit agencies to impose fees for commercial use of records, allow government to block "unduly burdensome" requests and exempt volunteer fire and rescue companies.
The proposal represents a first step as lawmakers consider revisions to the 2008 law that controls the public's ability to get government information and records.
The Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association supports some elements but has concerns about others, said Deb Musselman, a lobbyist with the organization.
"There are some portions of the bill that, if they are not changed, would cause us to really have to sit down and think seriously about our position," Musselman said. "But we are hopeful we can make our case about the things we want to change."
Pileggi's bill would not apply the law fully to Pennsylvania's four "state-related" universities — Penn State, the University of Pittsburgh, Lincoln and Temple — but that provision, which has some support in the Legislature, could be added as an amendment. The campus police of the state-related schools, however, are added to the agencies that must comply with the law under the current draft.
The Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association was already covered under the law, but it would be moved to another section for technical reasons.
Pileggi's proposal also would bring under the law economic and industrial development authorities. It also would provide more detail about what must be disclosed from 911 center call logs.
If agencies feel they have been saddled with unduly burdensome requests, they would be allowed to ask a judge for a protective order.
"That's very sticky and that's something we are concerned could be misapplied," Musselman said.
Inmates would be limited to a list of records, most of which pertain to the inmate directly, including his or her criminal records, work records and disciplinary records.
Pileggi said inmates account for a significant portion of requests under the Right-to-Know Law, requests that he said have questionable public benefit. The Office of Open Records' 2012 report said inmates accounted for 31 percent of the appeals it handled, second to "citizens" at 56 percent. The media accounted for 4 percent.
Governmental bodies would be permitted to require people asking for records to state whether they intend to use them for commercial purposes. If so, the agencies could impose fees to search for, review and redact documents. Those fees could include the hourly wage of the lowest-paid agency worker who is capable of producing the records.
"Right now it exempts newspapers and radio and broadcast," Musselman said. "We want to make clear that it applies to news gathering, like digital posting."
Pileggi said the law was not intended to help companies around the country perform low-cost research.
"But some enterprising for-profit businesses have seen the potential to develop marketing leads, largely at the expense of government agencies," Pileggi said.
Also, people who work at the Office of Open Records would not be allowed to comment on proceedings that are pending before the agency, although the executive director could comment on the law generally, and could explain its procedures.
Kim de Bourbon with the Pennsylvania Freedom of Information Coalition said many of the proposed changes would restrict access, and many existing problems with access are not addressed.
"There are still far too many agencies spending a lot of time and effort trying to find reasons not to provide public records, rather than spending that time and effort to make it all easier for people to understand what their government is doing," de Bourbon said.
Changes that Pileggi wants that she considers improvements include removing a requirement that people who appeal denials directly respond to the agency's reason for saying no, and adding clarifying language to a section on getting records in computer format.
Pileggi said he did not have a deadline in mind for consideration of the bill but expected at least one public hearing will be conducted.

Hi All
I went out with my hiking mate Mark to hike the section of Bibbulmun track between Albany Hwy and White horse hills campsite.
We are now the official maintainers of this section of track plus the shelter. This is our first chance to get out and take a good look at the track plus the shelter. We have walked this section before a couple of years ago but this time the walk would be different.
We decided to hike straight to the shelter noting what needed to be done with the track on the way in and then on the way out we would stop and do any trimming that needed to be done. At this time of year we mostly just trim bushes and smaller trees away from the track. A lot of our bush can be very scratchy and spiky so we try to keep those trees pruned back. We also checked the water bars that are in place and checked to see if they need to be cleaned out.
A water bar is a small length of timber, a fallen branch works that is placed into the ground across the track so that water in winter the flows along the track is taken off the track rather than eroding it as it flows down the track.
On the way we saw an eagle soaring way up in the clear blue sky and I saw a small snake on the track, as we got close he just slithered away. We had to walk up and over Boonering hill and on the way down the other side we met a younger couple who were having a rest at a boot cleaning station. They were heading the same way as us but were loaded up with 100L packs. We met them later at camp.
The rest of the walk in was very nice with all the wild flowers out, there was lots of colour every where I looked. We made it to camp and got the pot boiling for a cup of tea and about a half hour later the couple arrived. It turns out they were a younger couple from Germany. Who had travelled to Perth for a working holiday and saw a sign promoting the Bibbulmun track and thought, yea lets do it.
We spent the night sharing some red wine with them and chatting around the camp fire until it was time for bed. Funny thing about the wine was that they did not have any cups. They decided that they were too heavy and ditched them. They cut one of the plastic water bottles they had down and used it for a cup. In the morning after we ate Mark and I gave them our plastic cups, some Gatorade and a tea light, Mark also gave them some tape for blisters as they did not have any but had plenty of blisters.
We left camp for the three hour walk back through the hills and to the car. Along the way we saw two wallabies, another larger snake about two and a half foot long, and a bobtail lizard. We spent the time walking back pruning threes and marking spots on my gps that we would need to come back in winter and maintain.
Part of the track that we have to maintain is a side spur trail that heads up to Boonering hill; this is a nice little one way diversion that takes you to a huge granite hill that over looks everything for miles around. I took some video footage of the top of the hill as well as many spots along the track plus the campsite. I'll edit it all and post it up to YouTube when it is finished.
I also took footage of my hammock setup in the camp and that is up on YouTube now, it shows my Nano-7 hammock, my Yeti under quilt, my DIY top quilt and my DIY tarp. Please take a look and I hope you enjoy it.
All the best

Parti Quebecois Leader Pauline Marois has lost her riding of Charlevoix-Cote-de-Beaupre.
Marois garnered about 33 per cent of the vote and was defeated by the Liberals' Caroline Simard, who took home 35 per cent in Monday's election.
It was a disappointing night all round for Marois as she saw her party reduced to about 30 seats in the 125-member national assembly.
Marois later announced she will quit as PQ leader.
Marois won the riding northeast of Quebec City in 2012 with 40.7 per cent of the vote.
She had represented the region since 2007.

Pitchers Stat Categories: Wins (W), Losses (L), Saves (SV), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP), Strikeouts per Nine Innings (K/9)
Looking for people who will stay with us for years, obviously. If people quit and we can't find replacements for future years, we can just turn it into a redraft league but let's not let that happen.
Settings are negotiable to a point. They have been established and tweaked over years of a non keeper league with returning players. I have been commish and have always payed out 100% of the money and on time. I handle march madness, nfl confidence pools etc and have always paid everyone. Money will go through paypal and at least the top 3 will get paid. Probably a reg. season champ. Again, negotiable.
We have done our best to limit people picking up players just for a start to win k's or wins by adding loses and switching k's to k/9 so it's more about quality then quantity for the most part. To balance out the hitting cats we've added ops and that has worked out great.
This seasons draft will be normal. You will then select 4 keepers for next year. They will be kept according to the round they we're drafted in. For example, if you drafted (or traded for) Adam Wainwright in the 9th and want to keep him, he will count as your 9th round pick for next year. Any player that you wish to keep that was not drafted will have his keeper value correspond to his next years o-rank. For example, if you picked up Bryce Harper off waivers and next year he's listed as a 113 0-rank, he would be your 9th round keeper. If you kept him and Wainwright, one of them would slide down to your 10th round. You can keep any players that you want on your final roster. You can make off season trades for people that you are keeping.
If you have people that are interested, active, quality managers, have them e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Vimal worries about Neela, Tea gives Todd important news, and David returns...
Tea visits Todd at The Sun and admits she's pregnant with Victor's baby. Todd's happy for Tea but wishes Tomas would stop trying to pin Victor's murder on him. He thinks Tomas wants him out of the way. Tea doesn't agree but thinks Blair's better off with Tomas. Todd's hurt her too many times. Tea warns Tomas will fight for Blair. After Tea leaves, Todd recalls shooting Victor then says, "Maybe everything's going to be all right." He's sorry for what he did but promises to take care of Victor's family. Out in the hallway, Vimal worries about Neela and says, "She was dragged away by that juvenile delinquent." Rama tries calming him. When Vimal's father calls from home, wondering why Neela wasn't on the plane, he and Rama make excuses and claim Neela's sleeping. There was a flight mix-up. After he hangs up, Vimal orders Rama to stay there then leaves to report Neela missing.
After looking at Todd's first issue of The Sun, containing a photo of Agent Baker - implying he killed Victor, Blair calls Tomas from the mansion. Tomas promises they'll find Victor's murderer. David appears. He just wrapped up his film in Sweden and is on his way to see Dorian in Washington. Dorian asked David to stop in Llanview to make sure Todd stays out of Blair's life forever. Blair's with Tomas but admits she thought Todd had something to tell her on Halloween. David urges Blair to concentrate on Tomas. Blair knows Todd has a hard time showing his feelings and thinks she needs to go to him first. David refuses to let Blair make this mistake again. Blair rushes off. David takes a call from Dorian, which is stopped short by a visit from Todd. He's looking for Blair and admits, "I want her back." David lies and says Blair went to tell Tomas she loves him.
Jack appears in the cabana with food and clothes. Neela thanks him. She refuses to be sent home and says, "I really want to marry a boy like…" Jack wonders who. She leans in close then pulls away from Jack and regains her composure. Jack vents about Victor and Scarface. He won't let Scarface get away with murder. Neela asks what Jack plans to do. Jack leaves. Rama calls and insists she's trying to help Neela. She tells Rama where she is. Rama arrives shortly. Neela boasts that Jack is the man of her dreams!
Jack sneaks into the mansion and grabs a copy of The Sun and some matches.
At the Manning Estate, Claude provides Tomas with proof Agent Baker couldn't have killed Victor. He was locked up. Claude wonders if Tomas hopes Todd killed Victor, so he can have Blair to himself. Tomas denies it. Claude gives Tomas information on Louie. Tomas realizes he was the man with Todd yesterday. He thinks Louie stayed quiet about the gun because Todd bought it back from him.
Tomas arrives The Sun and snoops around Todd's office. He locates Todd's safe. Just as he cracks the code, someone comes to the door. Blair almost catches Tomas in Todd's safe and asks, "What are you doing here?"
At Llanfair, Clint's upset he won't be able to walk Natalie down the aisle. He plans to set up a feed, so he can watch the wedding from home. Viki privately makes a call. Clint's tux arrives from the dry-cleaner. He wonders why she had it dry-cleaned, considering he's under house arrest. Viki admits she asked Tea to petition the court, so he could attend the wedding. They haven't heard back yet. She urges Clint not to get his hopes up. Viki leaves Clint in the living room and answers the door to Tea. The judge turned down their request. Tea apologizes. Viki speaks of the video feed. It'll all work out. She asks how Tea's been and is excited to hear she's pregnant with Victor's baby. Tea misses Victor so much. So does Viki. She thanks Tea for sharing the news with her and holds her close. After Tea leaves, Clint thinks Viki and Tea were hugging because the judge gave him permission to go to the wedding.
