People get angry at me whenever I broach that topic on here. My blood starts to boil every time I hear the word Borges on MGoBlog. For some reason we wasted the great gameplan on Iowa (utilizing Denard as a decoy on some plays). It takes a real soft-headed idiot to fall in love with Denards fortunate 1st half TD run and telegraph every play in the 2nd half.
OSUs players were quoted after the game that they knew whether a play was a run or pass depending on if Denard was lined up at QB. So stupid.

|The following is BS in my
The following is BS in my opinion- Iowa gameplan was flawless - OSU gameplan was 100% different for no apparent reason other than to lose
"There's a lot of criticism, I know, from the Ohio State game, which the plan was very similar [to the Iowa game] and there was a lot of the lauding or praises for the Iowa game. A lot of the [Ohio State] plan was in the Iowa game. There was a lot of the same stuff. There was a little more nuance that we actually ended up running in the bowl game -- I'm telling you something I haven't told anyone before -- but the second half of the Ohio State game we didn't get to a lot of those calls because we failed on third-down-and-short situations several times. We failed, we turned the ball over a couple times. A lot of those calls don't get out of your mouth. You see what I mean?
"I told you guys this in the press conference, and I remember saying this: everybody's going to complain about the play-calling and who's touching the ball, you know? Getting carries? If you're not getting first downs, you're not getting calls out. You don't get that turn. You lost that turn, because something went wrong and you didn't move the chains. You turn the ball over. And now everybody's going to think you screwed it up, which, at the end of the day, maybe you did. It's not all the players; it's the coaches, too, now. We don't always make the perfect call. But the bottom line is at the end of the day, if you don't get a lot of chances to call plays, you'll always be short. You won't rush the ball very well. Nobody will rush for 100 yards. You won't have a receiver catching over 100 yards. Your quarterback won't have good numbers. You have to keep the chains moving so the play-caller can get more calls off. You're in a constant situation where you're trying to set plays up, but if you don't get to those plays, you never get to the counterpunch."
I see. So for your offense to be successful, you need the opportunity to run plays so you can set up other plays.
There were plays that you ran in the bowl game that you didn't run against Ohio State because you weren't able to set them up?
What would happen if -- let's say there's a run play that has pass component as the counter punch. If the run wasn't successful, could you still call the pass?
"Doesn't work that way. Because you have to understand the residual effect of football plays. This is very difficult for fans to understand. And I'm not being condescending, because it would be for me if I were [a fan].
"People sometimes don't understand the value of a failed play. Sometimes the defense overdefends a play and gives you another play by doing so. So you may run a run in there and it doesn't gain anything, and obviously people say, 'Quit running the ball up the middle!' How many times do you hear that? 'Don't run the ball up the middle!' Well sometimes running up the ball up the middle will afford you the opportunity to pull the ball out and throw the ball down the field, because people are so aggressive with playing that play up the middle. I call it the residual effect of football plays. What's the leftover effect of what we just did?
"If both plays don't work, then you probably have a problem. Either the plan wasn't good or your execution's off. There's only two ways plays fail. The plan isn't good or your execution is lousy. Overdefended, underexecuted. That's why plays fail. But you have to understand that a play, just because it fails, doesn't mean it's a bad play. It may give you something down the line. For example, if you ran the ball into the line of scrimmage and gained a half a yard. But the play-action pass off that play gained 35 yards. What's the average of the two plays?"

Yes, Joe struck lightning in a bottle in '04 with underappreciated talent like Chauncey, Sheed, Rip and Ben. That was a great team but it was also the exception to the rule.

Don't forget about quickly rejecting the Celtics offer of Rondo and Ray Allen for Hamilton, Stuckey and Prince in 2009. Understandable to review thoroughly and pass but reports out of Boston said Dumars didn't give it the time of day. Would have given the Pistons a ton of cap flexibility as well and we'd have a legit PG.
The huge contracts dished out to Hamilton and Prince after the title window had clearly closed and both were close to washed up.

First Annual "Missions Day" Features Atheist Rocker Turned Dynamic Christian Missionary
"Our speaker for the first annual 'Missions Day' on our campus is someone you will not want to miss," enthuses Chancellor/CEO Archpriest Chad Hatfield. "Our presenter, Father Father Themi, at "home" in AfricaFather Themi, at "home" in AfricaThemistocles Adamopoulo, was once an atheist Rocker from Australia, now turned missionary to Africa."
The Right Rev. Dr. Archimandrite Themistocles, member of the Alexandrian Orthodox Patriarchate, indeed had a vibrant ministry and mission in Nairobi, Kenya, and now is in Sierra Leone. In both settings, "Father Themi," as he is known, ministered to the poor by providing educational and employment opportunities.
In Kenya, Fr. Themi opened some small business enterprises in one of the mission compounds to provide some self-sufficiency for the poor of that part of the world, especially the abandoned mothers and their young ones. He had his first class of early school teachers graduate from his Orthodox Teachers' College, who were congratulated and praised for their high capabilities by the Kenyan Minister of Education. The Teachers' College has since grown into the St. Clement of Alexandria Orthodox College of Africa.
Father Themi now has been placed in charge of outreach in Sierra Leone, as administrator of the newly created Diocese of Freetown, under the authority of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria. Since his arrival in Sierra Leone in 2007, the Church has gone from being non-existent to consisting of two parishes with four local priests, a large primary/secondary school in the capital, an agricultural school in the countryside, a clinic to assist in the rehabilitation of amputees, and an educational outreach in a women's prison in Freetown. In September 2011 an Orthodox university was due to open in the country as well.
Join us Saturday, November 19th in the Metropolitan Philip Auditorium of the John G. Rangos Family Building for this presentation. We will start at 10:00 a.m. and end at noon. This event is free and open to public.
"Like" Fr. Themi's Facebook Page, and read his bio here. Watch a goosebump producing video about Fr. Themi's work in Sierra Leone on his Website: "Paradise Kids 4 Africa," here.

Panic Disorder
Treatments for Panic Disorder
The use of drugs in panic disorder treatment has been found to be effective in relieving patients' symptoms. Both antidepressants and anxiolytics have been found helpful:
- Antidepressants (SSRI's, SNRI's, MAOIs, etc.): These medications are taken daily, and help patients build a resistance to the occurrence of panic symptoms. While these medications are described as "antidepressants", most of them have anti-panic properties as well - many patients with panic disorder lack typical depressive symptoms, and may be confused by the title "antidepressant," believing that these drugs are not appropriate for their symptoms. In truth, when combined with talk-based psychotherapy, these medications help form what is often the most effective treatment for panic disorder.
- Anti-anxiety drugs (principally benzodiazepines such as Xanax): these drugs are taken at the start of or during panic attacks, or before entering anxiety-provoking situations. Some patients take them daily to prevent panic attacks, however these medications may be habit-forming if not used in accordance with a physician's directions. They are often particularly useful at the beginning of treatment, before symptom-resistance from antidepressants have built up, and are generally utilized less and less as other parts of the treatment (antidepressants, psychotherapy) become more effective.
Unfortunately, because medications alone do not treat the underlying cause of panic disorder, discontinuing them in the absence of psychotherapy often results in symptom relapse. Nonetheless, the medications do provide some relief from panic disorder symptoms.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has been used in the treatment of many psychological disorders. It is a form of psychotherapy targeting patterns of thoughts and behaviors that maintain psychopathology. The specific CBT techniques used to treat panic disorder vary for each patient, but the approach generally aims to remove the associations between panic attacks and certain situations, and between fear and bodily sensations.
CBT for panic disorder is designed to reduce the severity of panic symptoms as well as associated stressful psychological states, including general anxiety and depression. CBT typically results in lasting improvements and low rates of relapse, without the need for continued psychotherapy or medication. Other forms of treatment that are incorporated into CBT include general supportive counseling and deep breathing exercises, a form of relaxation treatment.

This feels like any number of games where we dominated, didn't kill off the other guy and lost. We just need a big play or three. Come Al, please give it to us.
Btw. Can Devin scramble just once? Please.
Michigan vs. Ohio State Game Open Thread
This feels like any number of games where we dominated, didn't kill off the other guy and lost. We just need a big play or three. Come Al, please give it to us.
With only Denard in the know it is a run. with only Devin in they know it is a run. Put them both in.
Looks like the DBs are keying on these routes. I'm worried we're going to have another turnover if DG doesn't hold and run when nothing's there or he doesn't make the decision fast enough to have his guy open.
Shit shit shit
In all fairness the difference in halves is not playcalling it's the fact that Denard broke big runs in the first half and we haven't broken any runs this half.
kill me.
We just don't want to win this.
That might have been the stake in our heart. The way Al is calling plays right now, I dont know if we can get 20 yards
boren had his hands all over him with the ball in the air and not looking for it, and no PI?
I hate blaming the refs but that was obvious. Unless they thought it was uncatchable. FML
Great, Devin has Denard disease. Run it!
Even as a decoy, Robinson needs to be on the field/
Devin's having problems now. Bo, we need some help.
Ok defense. We need miracles now.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
now it's over
That's it. Thanks for coming. Tip your waitress.
You are getting so fucking banhammered. Racist trash.
Oh well.
That pick looked like DG thought Dileo was going to keep going straight. Miscommunication.
Wind is in to Michigan and from the left. Tough condition to throw in. Play calling entire 2nd half has made Ohio fearless on D.
I hate my life.
[email protected]@@ Devin is not a miracle QB. Defense needs to somehow get the ball back without them scoring.
Wow total implosion this half by our offense.
Crap Time for D one more time.
Nice that we wasted 2 Timeouts this half. Our coaches have cost us this game. Borges AND Hoke!
bad snap lands in the RB's hands? just one of those days..
Come on D. One more for the road.
in the second half, the offensive gameplan sucks. Worse than ND
Just shows how important a dominant Oline is! Or lack of one
bad snap lands in the RB's hands? just one of those days..
This is the most infuriating way to lose this game. This is all on Hoke and Borges
This is on Borges. No one else.
Is any one else kinda glad Nebraska won so this was not for a possible championship?
Glad to see Hoke still taking his Les Miles School of Clock Management seriously.
I seriously hope my liver shuts down after the abuse I put on it today...10 out of 12 losses to these fuckers...
You know Al is dumb when Spielman calls him out.
This is inexcusable. Just terrible coaching all around.
I don't care if devin threw that pick. Borges' horrible playcalling forced him in to the situation of throwing the ball right now and our line can't block wortha shit.
Ok defense I don't wanna over extend my welcome here but can I get a TO please? Thanks!
This is the saddest 1/2 of football ever?
Good thing we already used two of our time outs
This play will be the game essentially
Ermahgerd... Turnovers
Losing hope very, very fast.
You are kidding me. Its over now.
This is more painful than watching the twilight series
Ball game.
I hate everything
Why can't we do that up the middle? Hey, Brady thanks for taking all those timeouts.
I don't know why we wasted those TO's.
Because our center and guards are soft, terrible and incapable of moving anyone
Off the ball
As frustrating as it is for us because we moved the ball so well in the first half and it seemed like we should be able to do the same in the second half. At some point you have to just give some credit to their defense.
Play calling has sucked. Fuck their defense. We ran plays right into their strength all day.
I hate you
Up the middle. Really?
same play all day and we werent ready for it?
Worse, same play they used a ton last year and it wasn't stopped.
And we can't stop obvious runs...
Average season in a very shitty conference. We let the Bucknets go undefeated. We have a lot of heart but average talent on the field. In the end, we are a very average team. I am still hopefull that Hoke can get us to the next level.
Onto basketball. Hopefully we can deliver on our pre-season expectations because obviously we shit the bed in football.
Game over.
It's over
Dammmmmmnit all.
This loss is 100% on Borges.
Urban is such a fag
Fucking ridicolous I thought we had a coach who understood the rivalry...
Lulz, coaching disaster... Only coach that deserves his position on the staff is Mattison.
fuck this shit
Why don't we douse urban with some Gatorade while we're at it
What a fucking waste.
Call me Capt Hindsight, but it was fn obvious they were going to run it
Fire Borges!
Fire Borges!
3 of these losses all on our coaches. Awful.
You are useless
3 of these losses all on our coaches. Awful.
Neg me to Bolivia--I don't care.
As much as Hoke pooped gold last year, he's cost us 3 games this year with subpar coaching and we could've lost to MSU and Northwestern.
Mattison did his job. Borges crapped the bed.
Im tired of having my heart ripped out by god fucking awful coaching. There is no excuse for this. Hoke, as the head coach, needs to tell Borges to use Denard. I understand that he isnt an offensive coach, that is just complete and total misuse of your biggest weapon. Now I will be pissed for the next 364 days. Thanks Al and Btrady for ruining my year you fucking fucks.
Not like Urban made any great calls today. They made plays.
Enjoy your bowl game OSU.
we are mediocrity
No running backs. No middle of D line. No Offensive Coach...
But Borges was horrible. Gave it away.
When do we get to start a thread on our new OC search?
for the only undefeated team left don't you agree?
I hate Ohio
We just had the chance to change the course of both programs handed to us on a silver platter and we dropped it.
How in the hell was holding OSU to two FGs in the second half not enough to win this game.
We needed just one more drive and then the I-form iso to Vincent Smith would have worked. Just one more drive.......
Gonna do an interview before you shake Hoke's hand...FUCK YOU Urban...fuck you you fucking piece of shit
Breaking News: Water is wet and the Sky is Blue!
Ps. Ironic they honor the man who gave them this probationary undefeated season with no chance of playing for the Title. How stupid can this university be?
I get that Al hasnt been a spread OC before, but the shit that worked in the first half, you just keep going along those lines. He out smarted himself and lost us this game
It seems to me like our playcalling is really holding us back
Welp, every Ohio State fan and player should send a thank you letter to Al Borges the Michigan Offensive Coordinator!
Pathetic. I'm not a emotion guy but that was a pathetic 2nd half by an offensice coordinator.
I understand the OSU team has awarded Al Borges the game ball! That second half play calling and personnel usage was atrocious. Did he think it gave us an unfair advantage to have Devin and Denard in at the same time?
Can't wait to see this press conference! I hope the press asks tough questions and doesn't let that one answer bullshit fly! I want to know what the fuck they where thinking during that second half.
Props to Greg Mattison, you sir earned your paycheck this week and all season for that matter. Big Al, please go back to wherever the fuck you came from. Peace Out!
Ps. Our Basketball team is LEGIT! Go Blue!
I never thought I'd see this rivalry get to the point where we wold have two wins in a 12 year period! How the fuck did this happen?
Not really much to say about the offensive play calling. Borges needs to rethink about some calls he made and learn from it. Hopefully Michigan Basketball can take care of OSU to take care of some of the sting.
I understand the OSU team has awarded Al Borges the game ball! That second half play calling and personnel usage was atrocious. Did he think it gave us an unfair advantage to have Devin and Denard in at the same time?
Why did we not line Denard up at RB in the second half. It just blows the mind. This was the most winnable game we'll have at the horseshoe for a long time. Really pathetic stuff on offense.
Coaching fucked us on this one and its disgusting and stinks to high hell.
Terrible. Horrible. Worst fucking half of play calling I've ever seen.
I am pissed at Borges too for play selection.
Defense played amazing and pretty much did all we could ask.
Silver Lining:
This can still be a pretty good season of we win the Capital One Bowl against a highly rated SEC team. Coaches can redeem themselves in Florida.
One, take solace in the fact that this is a team of cheaters and their punishment is not playing in a bowl game and possible NC. Two, IMO this season was as expected. We were a 7-5 to 9-3 type team. We lost to Bama, a good ND team in a close game, Nebraska on the road with our 3rd string QB, and OSU on the road. We protected our home and beat MSU and NW. We had a quality season. We will go to a bowl game, and Denard still has a legitmate shot at the rushing record. Yes this loss hurts, but when you use your head we are not the sort of dominant team that is likely to beat a good team on the road, especially in a rivalry game. The question is can we anwser next year when we get them at home again? We can't let Urban go 2-0 against us. But, we need to find anwsers in the offensive line and run the ball from our backs. Then the showdown should be in 2014 we will both likely have pretty great teams. Lets credit their defense in the second half, be proud of the effort from our team, and look to the future.
looked frustrated on the sideline in that final drive. I was too.
Our defense against first down run was very worrying. But otherwise, I think the defense was great today.
Congrats to our fine defense this year.
Mattison and the D were rock stars....almost 37 minutes on the field!!! Borges blows dead bears and Hoke failed to step up as a head coach and send Borges to the showers. Devin worked hard but did not stand out against a better team! Onto next season.... Like the Notre Dame game....we gave it away.
Well I'm glad I got to watch one good half of football today!! I'm still speechless on second half congrats to the kids in this game shame they didn't get to determine outcome!! Horrible coaching in the second half wow!!! Hope USC takes care of the Irish!!
The four field goal curse strikes again.

The annual rituals of nature — the date when the marsh marigold first unfurls its yellow petals or when the common alder pushes out its leaves — are among the most sensitive indicators of climate change.
And Concord, known more for its rebellious history and its illustrious writers, also contains a valuable cache of data, spanning more than 150 years, about the habits of plants and animals in town. Henry David Thoreau was one of the first chroniclers, filling an estimated 2,000 pages of his journals with detailed observations about the plants, animals, and seasons around him.
Other scientists and observers have continued the tradition, recording when birds return north and when plants come to life in the spring.
"As far as I know, there is more information about the effect of climate change in Concord than any other place in the United States," said Richard Primack, a Boston University biologist who calls Concord a living lab for his research.
Primack has probably done more than anyone in modern times to extol Thoreau — best known as an author, philosopher, and Transcendentalist — in another role: as a scientist. Thoreau walked around Concord for hours each day in the decade before he died of tuberculosis at 44, observing and recording details about the plants he saw.
The writer also departed from the scientific practice of the day — shooting birds to identify them by their lifeless bodies — by buying a spyglass to see them better. Well over a century later, when Primack started searching for local historical data, he discovered Thoreau's scientific journals.
Now a Concord Museum exhibit, "Early Spring: Henry Thoreau and Climate Change," examines Thoreau as scientist. The exhibit, which opens April 12, also pays tribute to the unusually large number of Concord residents who have tracked minute details of the natural world around them, as well as Primack's research.
"Thoreau's records had been hiding in plain sight," said David Wood, the museum's curator. "They had been partially published, starting in 1935, but they tended to be left out because they're not literary. They tended to be overlooked by the English majors who were studying these pages."
The exhibit also includes some notebooks from Rosie Corey, now 81, who started recording details about the birds she saw on her daily walks in Concord in the early 1960s. Her notes became more elaborate over time, and Primack studied her data as part of his research.
Corey has noticed changes over her decades of observation.
"I look over my old lists and I see so many birds that I don't see now," she said.
Meadowlarks and warblers are harder to find, she said. She has not seen a field sparrow in years.
The exhibit includes photos from Corey's niece, Cherrie Corey, who has been studying Concord's natural history for decades. She often compares her observations to those of Thoreau.
"Most of the years of his life were spent finely combing the landscape of Concord," she said. "Day after day, year after year, season after season. And no one else has done that anywhere else in the country."
'Thoreau's records had been hiding in plain sight. They had been partially published, starting in 1935, but they tended to be left out because they're not literary.'
The exhibit at the Concord Museum, which has the world's largest collection of objects related to Thoreau, will reunite Thoreau's journals, mostly stored at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York, with the author's simple desk, which has been on display at the museum.
The Concord Museum received a $141,000 federal grant for the exhibit, the first federal grant the museum has received in 20 years, according to Peggy Burke, executive director.
Primack, the exhibit's guest scholar, has researched how climate change has affected the flowering times of plants, comparing modern data with the information Thoreau collected between 1852 and 1860. Primack and his lab found that for every 1 degree Celsius increase in mean spring temperature, plants bloom about three days earlier.
"We're able to see that there's a continuity of history from Thoreau's time until the present time," Primack said. "That's why we've been able to do this work."
Primack came to his work about a decade ago, when he decided to change the direction of his research. He had been studying the effects of climate change on plants and animals in southeast Asia and decided, instead, to focus on his home state.
But when he began searching for older records of plant flowering times in the United States, he came up short. Finally, after six months, someone told him about Thoreau's journals.
"This was kind of a gold mine of data," Primack said. "As soon as we saw it, we knew it was amazing."
One afternoon, two weeks ago, Primack and his former graduate student Caroline Polgar drove to two snowy spots in Concord to collect tree branches for their next research project. They are now studying how winter temperatures affect the blooming of plants in the spring.
"They don't care how warm it is," Primack said. "They have to go through a long winter period."
First Primack and Polgar collected alder branches at the edge of a meadow. Then they drove along the Sudbury River and followed a trail into the woods. They were searching for blueberry and huckleberry — but in the winter, when the plants are leafless, the shrubs are nearly identical.
"That's blueberry, right?" Primack asked, pointing to a small bush.
"Yes," Polgar said.
"We're going to start collecting them," Primack said, as he snipped off branches with pruning shears.
Primack and Polgar took 20 branches of each shrub back to Primack's BU lab. They planned to place the branches in water, and see how long it takes them to bloom.
Not everyone in Concord agrees with Primack's conclusions about climate change in Concord. Cherrie Corey said she has found many of the plants that Primack believed had disappeared from Concord. And although she agrees that temperatures have been more erratic, she believes Primack needs more years of his own data before he can draw conclusions about climate change.
Burke and Wood said science benefits from both academic research and data collection by local residents.
"People are deeply respectful of each other's research," Burke said. "We think it's all very interesting and it all adds to the broader layer of information about the community."Kathleen Burge can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @KathleenBurge.

7th February 2014
Tickets for the FINA/NVC Diving World Series (25 – 27 April), an event which will see the likes of Olympic bronze medallist Tom Daley compete at the home of the 2012 Olympic Games, went on sale at 10am on Monday 10 February.
Click here to view the session timings on our Schedule page then click the Ticketmaster button to buy your tickets.
The world's best divers will descend upon the London Aquatics Centre at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in order to compete once again in the Olympic venue.
The event sees the world's top eight divers, across each event invited to challenge for honours across the Olympic programme of 3m and 10m individual and synchro events.
Last year saw the British Gas GBR Diving team win three medals, gold for Tom Daley in the 10m Platform and silver medals for Alicia Blagg and Rebecca Gallantree and Chris Mears and Nick Robinson-Baker in the 3m Synchro.
Spectators will get to see some of the best diving outside of a World Championships with a strong field expected to take to the boards.
Thanks to a partnership between British Swimming, UK Sport, London and Partners, London Legacy Development Corporation and charitable social enterprise GLL, the event will make its debut in London.
UK Sport have confirmed an investment of up to £100,000 from its National Lottery backed Gold Event Series, which aims to bring up to 70 world class events to the UK by 2019, to support the hosting of the Diving World Series in London.

Djokovic consolidates top ATP ranking
- Associated Press
- January 27, 2013 - 10:43 AM
MELBOURNE, Australia - Novak Djokovic's win over Andy Murray in the Australian Open final Sunday has consolidated his No. 1 ranking.
After capturing last year's Australian Open, Djokovic had the most ranking points — 2,000 — to lose. But the four-set win guaranteed he'd maintain the same points gap over Australian Open semifinalist Roger Federer at No. 2 and Murray at No. 3.
The only change in the top five is that Australian Open semifinalist David Ferrer will move from fifth to fourth. Rafael Nadal, who is recovering from injury and did not play in Melbourne, goes to fifth.
Unseeded Jeremy Chardy of France, who advanced to the quarterfinals at Melbourne Park this year after losing in the first round in 2012, is expected to move into the top 25 from No. 36.

Posted on 01/16/2013 7:14:32 AM PST by MinorityRepublican
Are we at the tipping point where the public is fed up with Obama and the media will start reporting facts that are unfavorable to him? NO.
Are we at the tipping point there the takers outnumber the producers and the new majority begins voting more free stuff at the expense of people who work hard for a living? YES, we're past it.
I think that's a question that can't be accurately answered until after you've tipped. But it appears that we are getting close.
Thats an urban legend.
Okay, we have passed it. Now what do we do?
That's the million dollar question!
No. It's a billion bullet question.
I defy anyone to explain how this gets reversed...
Romney was right about 47 pecect of the vote supporting for Obama, no matter what. However, Romney underestimated that number, its more like 51 or 52 percent.

>> I defy anyone to explain how this gets reversed.
#1 THE SECULAR (but painful and time-consuming) WAY:
We run completely out of "other people's money" and there is total apparent economic collapse in the country. I say "apparent" because our REAL wealth is in the significant numbers of HIGH information folks in the US who can, like, actually DO worthwhile stuff that doesn't involve watching Honey Boo Boo. The majority rebuilds our economy around reality. The low information takers, having no skills and nothing to contribute, either LEARN to get on line and contribute real fast. Or they starve.
As described in a "blog" called the Holy Bible, inspired by JEHOVAH, LORD and CREATOR of the universe. We Christians, as the "priests" of our people (we ARE all priests, you know), pray our brains out for each other. We repent of our wickedness, and then as intercessors we humble ourselves and repent of the wickedness of our nation. Daily we practice being Christians (if we have forgotten how, it's all in the Manual, we just need to read up on it). We begin — or more accurately, GOD working through us begins — another (it's happened before you know) Christian revival. First by a trickle, then by a torrent, people turn to the One True Light. Satan's power is diminished and he crawls back under his rock.
Personally, I'm hoping and praying and (imperfectly) working for #2.
Of course, we may have neither #1 nor #2. It's all up to us, really.
Which way will we tip? Left or right?
Thank you for your post. I really needed to read that today.
We're way past the point of no return. It has now devolved into a battle of attrition between the one's who will uphold the Constitution, and those who want to impose a dictatorship upon us. The war will start with words, and will only escalate after that, as all of players involved will jockey to seize power. It can and will happen here. The question is who will you side with.
Thanks - He will let us know when it is time, because they'll come for the Christians after the guns....
There are a few too many metaphors mixed in your post.
Thanks, headmaster.
Was that pedantic? No. I didn't comment to teach a lesson. I honestly couldn't be sure what the post meant.
>> I didnt comment to teach a lesson.
You didn't indicate lack of understanding. You just took me to task for the metaphors. So, yeah, whether intentional or not, that's pedantic.
On review, my metaphors weren't mixed at all, as they describe one machine: a tipping point with a fulcrum, which, if it isn't set in stone, can move to yield aa different tipping point.
I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough for you, and I'll be happy to explain in more detail if you'll kindly be more specific about what part is confusing to you.
Tgere isntIf it's set in stone it isn't a machine. Obviously the fulcrum wouldn't tip, but then it wouldn't be a fulcrum. There isn't really anything in heaven or on earth which switches back and forth between being a machine and being unmoving stone, nor machines which people mistake for stone, nor stone objects which people mistake for machines. Therefore it was a mixed metaphor, and in any case nit expressed clearly.
Show me someone accusing others of being inadvertent pedants, and I will show you someone who just doesn't like being corrected. We are not in your head, and rules of composition and logic exist for a reason: so that we can understand what it is you're saying. Not everyone who corrected you is Taliban you to task, a harsh mistress, or a "grammar nazi." They can be people who are merely enforcing the mutual obligation of interlocutors to be comprehensible.
>> Tgere isntIf
Sorry, what?
>> If its set in stone it isnt a machine.
That's a ridiculous statement. Machines are set in stone all the time.
>> Obviously the fulcrum wouldnt tip, but then it wouldnt be a fulcrum.
Headmaster, aren't you aware of the simple machines, one of which is the lever, one example of which is a bar over a fulcrum: i.e. a seesaw. If a seesaw doesn't illustrate a tipping point then the term has no meaning. Here, educate yourself: http://physics.about.com/od/physicsintherealworld/p/simplemachines.htm Your blather clearly shows that you haven't the foggiest understanding of what a fulcrum really is.
The fulcrum that isn't "set in stone" would be free to move beneath the seesaw part and change the tipping point. Which was my point.
>> Not everyone who corrected you
Huh? No one but you corrected me. I guess everyone else "got it".

"How do you count scorpions?" Well, carefully is the best answer. The same can be said for any animals with either pinchers, claws, or really sharp teeth. That pretty much covers the majority of our animal collection here (except for the amphibians).
The next question that pops to mind is: why would you count scorpions? Like many institutions that maintain animal collections, an inventory is essential and often required by law. Check out this article from the Seattle Times on the London Zoo, when they were taking inventory of their collection.
While our collection is much smaller, we still have to keep proper notes and update our inventory list. It just seems a bit tedious when you are trying to count roaches. Prolific, fast-moving roaches. See how many you count in the picture below and then imagine what happens when you scare them.

Perani Arena Hosts Inaugural Food, Beer & Wine Fest
On Saturday night, Perani Arena in Flint was the site of the inaugural Food, Beer & Wine Fest.
The event, co-sponsored by Townsquare Media and Country Smokehouse, featured over 60 vendors with 145 beers and 65 wines on hand to sample, and also included fares from local, area restaurants.
The more than 800 people in attendance were also treated to live music and a backyard-like, lawn area that featured live sod where they could play games like bean bag toss and giant Jenga.
Kylie Gates, live events manager for Townsquare Media, said the Food, Beer & Wine Fest was based on an idea similar to the Craft Beer Festival put on in Grand Rapids. She added turnout was better than expected with many day-of, walk-up ticket purchases.
Although there will be a second Michigan Food, Beer & Wine Fest in 2013, a date has yet to be determined.

Check the back of the ignition switch with a multimeter. Easy to get to and pops out with two screws. I had a connection fail there once on my brat and it did similar things. If not that, then just track down the source of the break/short with the multimeter stating at the battery.
Posted 09 December 2012 - 07:28 PM
did you unhook the battery before you installed the pump? if not Id check the actual fuse block for blown fuses. id probably check that anyway before pulling out the meter, even if you unhooked the battery.
theres also may be a relay that is designed to shut off the motor if the car flips to prevent gas from leaking out. Might be worth checking if the fuses and ignition check out.

If you aren't getting power to the dash when you turn the key to the RUN position then the fusible links need to be checked. You may have blown one out. Use a meter to verify power is getting to the protected side of the link. The trouble could also be with the wire from the battery to the links. If that area is ok then you need to see if power is getting to the ignition switch.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 12:55 AM
Thanks for the advice, I think i'll change the fusible links for good measure, re-check the battery connections at both ends, then check all the fuses, then learn how to use a multi-meter. YAY! this is my step daughter's car and I can't get mine back until it's fixed.
Thanks again for the info, i'll post results.

you have used only "ho" in one place that should be how.
thats is a starting word in one of your sentences that needs to be Cap.
I would say: one thing and another not one thing or another.
I think that is a grammer error .
Like I said I'm new at this I am just pointing out what I see.

Jim Evans Awarded Utah State University's Highest Research Recognition
Thursday, Mar. 27, 2014
Geology professor Dr. James "Jim" Evans has been named Utah State University's 2014 recipient of the D. Wynne Thorne Career Research Award by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies.
"Jim's unwavering dedication to both his research and students encompasses the spirit and essence of USU's highest research honor — that is the natural ability to inspire others to excel," said USU President Stan Albrecht. "Everything that he does and everything that he is, derives directly from his selfless desire for his students to be successful."
Evans' research focuses on structural geology, the analysis of the three-dimensional distribution of Earth's outer layers and how they deform in response to stress, specifically the influence of faults and fractures on subsurface fluid flow.
"The research of Jim Evans is extraordinarily valuable to USU because it addresses scientific and societal issues vital to both environmental and economic concerns, and because Jim designs projects which include students in this research at every level," said geology professor John W. Shervais. "Jim's research is the embodiment of the land-grant mission of providing educational outreach and practical education, while at the same time, leading his field in innovative and internationally regarded research."
Currently, Evans' work centers on the analyses of fault-related rocks and fault zones, CO2 sequestration and rock fracture in sandstones. Evans said his work isn't limited to specific characteristics or attributes.
"We go from a very large scale — the scale of a mountain range — to a very small scale," Evans said. "I study something the size of the Bear River Mountain Range down to something that you can only see with a high-powered microscope. It's an incredibly wide range of distances."
The variability within his discipline is an element of intrigue for Evans.
"We like to look at things that happen over huge scales of time," Evans said. "We look at earthquakes and meteorites, which are things that happen in a mere number of seconds, but we also look at other processes that take hundreds of thousands of years — many of which took place millions of years ago. We get to work on this huge scale of time and space extrapolated from today to the far distant past."
Evans' early research centered on the internal structure of faults and helped to explain the process of rock deformation during earthquakes. This work is among his most cited research.
Since then Evans has produced over 60 peer-reviewed articles — with more than 3,900 citations — and has generated nearly $4M in research funding at USU.
A fellow of the Geological Society of America, Evans was selected as the associate editor and then executive editor of international peer-reviewed Journal of Structural Geology. He is also the founding co-editor of international peer-reviewed journal Lithosphere.
Just last year, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists selected Evans as the 2013 AAPG Foundation's Professional Awardee for his exceptional leadership within the field of geoscience instruction.
In addition to his internationally renowned research, Evans is noted for the tremendous level of commitment he devotes to students and their research.
One of Evans' projects involved investigating samples from the SAFOD (San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth) deep drilling project, taken from the active trace of the fault 3 kilometers below the surface. Evans worked with doctoral candidates, master's students and undergraduates on the research, and they were able to publish several articles with him.
"Jim directly includes students as part of his research efforts, challenging them to reach beyond their limits," Shervais said.
Professor and head of the Department of Geology W. David Liddell said students consistently identify Evans, who was also USU's 2010 Graduate Mentor of the Year, as the most respected advisor in their department.
"He funds his students' research projects, but more importantly, he provides them with encouragement and unlimited quantities of time," Liddell said. "He never declines a request to chair a promotion or search committee. Dr. Evans is obviously a very busy person yet he manages to give unselfishly of his time to his students and his department."
Having mentored more than 50 graduate and undergraduate researchers, Evans said it's gratifying to keep in contact with colleagues after they graduate and as they go on to excel in their own careers and research.
"The students are what keep me energized," Evans said. "It's not about my becoming successful; it's about their success. Their growth is the real award. It's the reason I do this stuff."
"The world of geology is still reaping the benefits of and directly applying Dr. Evans' invaluable findings today," said Mark McLellan, vice president for research and dean of the School of Graduate Studies at USU. "Inevitably, his work has not only brought recognition to himself and his abilities, but has, in turn, shone a light on Utah State University as an innovative research institution."
Evans will be honored at USU's Research Gala Monday, April 7, at the Riverwoods Conference Center. The gala is part of the tenth annual Research Week, with five days of events highlighting USU's best faculty, graduate, and undergraduate researchers. More information can be found at the Research Week website (http://researchweek.usu.edu/2014/).
Named after USU's first vice president for research, the D. Wynne Thorne Career Research Award is given to an individual on the USU campus who has completed outstanding research in his or her career. The award is given annually to one outstanding university researcher who is recommended by a committee of peers and all previous award recipients. Nominees are evaluated for the significance and quality of their research and creative achievement, as well as recognition by national and international experts.

Alabama. Ohio State. Michigan. Florida. Notre Dame. Mississippi?
Ole Miss muscled in on the powerhouses that usually dominate national signing day, landing some of the most sought-after prospects in the country on college football's annual first-Wednesday-in-February frenzy.
The Rebels, coming off a promising 7-6 season in their first season under coach Hugh Freeze, had the experts swooning by signing three of the bluest chips still on the board and building a well-rounded class otherwise.
"I do think (this class) has the possibility of being a program changer," Freeze said. "But it's all on paper right now.
The day started with defensive end Robert Nkemdiche from Loganville, Ga., rated the No. 1 recruit in the country by just about everyone who ranks them, deciding to join his brother, Denzel, in Oxford, Miss.
"I feel like it's the right place for me," Nkemdiche said after slipping on a red Ole Miss cap. "I feel like they can do special things and they're on the rise. I feel like going to play with my brother, we can do something special."
Nkemdiche originally committed to Clemson last year, then backed off that and narrowed his picks down to LSU, Florida and Mississippi -- and the Rebels beat the big boys.
They weren't done. Coaches in the Ole Miss war room were exchanging hugs and high-fives again a couple hours later when Laremy Tunsil, a top-rated offensive tackle from Lake City, Fla.
"Tunsil to Ole Miss I think was the biggest surprise of the whole (recruiting season)," said JC Shurburtt, national recruiting director for 247Sports.com.
And, as if the Ole Miss needed more good news, highly touted defensive back Antonio Conner from nearby Batesville, Miss., chose the Rebels over national champion Alabama.
Ole Miss also landed Laquon Treadwell from Crete, Ill., one of the best receiver prospects in the country. He made a verbal commitment to the Rebels back in December, and sealed the deal Wednesday, the first day high school players can sign binding letters of intent.
The end result was a class good enough to even catch the attention of LeBron James.
"Ole Miss ain't messing around today! Big time recruits coming in. SEC is crazy," the NBA MVP posted on his Twitter account.
Crazy good. While the Rebels racked up, it's important to remember they still have plenty of ground to gain on the rest of their conference.
Nick Saban reloaded the Crimson Tide with a class that Rivals.com ranked No. 1 in the country.
SEC powers Florida, LSU and Georgia pulled in typically impressive classes.

RIVERSIDE — A year after the water polo programs at Riverside Brookfield were nearly cut for budget reasons, the coaches have been forced to become salesmen as well.
Boys coach Peter Murphy and girls coach Sofia Pappanastos are trying to create a grass roots program for RB water polo to create interest in the sport. Murphy, a sixth grade teacher at Hauser Junior High School in Riverside, has started to reach out to some of his students.
"I'm trying to advertise the water polo camps to middle schoolers so they can start getting involved in water polo earlier on in their lives," Murphy said. "Just a little bit of exposure to the game makes a really big difference."
The RB boys team had three wins this season following an 0-4 showing at the Sandburg Invite over the weekend. The Bulldogs only have a few seniors but do have several juniors and sophomores to make the future appear bright.
Senior captain Dan Somers broke his hand and will miss the rest of the season, but his junior brother, Tim, has filled in. Leading goal scorer Jon Moron and David Kidwell have also been key players.
Sophomore Paul Sitkiewicz is the type of player Murphy is hoping the program can attract in the future. The tall and athletic Sitkiewicz focuses on basketball at RB and is using water polo for conditioning.
"That is a great way to advertise the sport for athletes," Murphy said. "If they're really looking to condition in their offseason, playing water polo is a great way."
The girls team had an 11-14 record after going 0-3 at the York Invite during the weekend. The Lady Bulldogs have nine seniors and more numbers than the boys.
Returning goalie Caitlin Parisi and leading scorers Emma Veon and Sydney Veon have been key players along with Dana Callanan and Andie Krug.
Nearby powerhouse programs Lyons Township and Fenwick could make the Bulldogs feel like the little brother in the area, but both coaches have ambitions to get RB to that level with offseason camps and youth programs.
"We need that," Pappanastos said. "That's what's going to help us in the future because they never had a summer program before. All the schools that have beaten us they have feeder programs. Their kids have been playing since middle school. They didn't just pick up a ball freshman year and start playing."
The summer program they have planned will be open to people from outside RB's district and will include junior high and high school age groups.
