Alex Zordich went 4-22 with 2 INTs tonight for Buffalo. It got me wondering, what are some of the worst college QB performances in the history of the game or that you can remember?
OT - Worst QB Performances of All-Time
But since all of the informative threads have been deleted, I was wondering where I would catch the game in Saturday.
Usee the "Site Search" resource just above the Diaries section and do a search for places to watch games in your town. Pretty easy and people have spent a lot of time doing the research so others can profit.
Well to be fair to Jimmy he was just trying to one-up Brady Quinn
Watching a legit D-line wearing Maize and Blue terrorizing an opposing QB.
PS Brandon Graham was an absolute monster. Getting held on half of those plays and still getting to Clausen.
That d-line is the same one that got smoked by App State and Oregon. And Wisconsin later in the year.
ND was the absolute worst offense in the country statistically that year and went 3-9. Let's actually remember shit if we are going to be nostalgic.
Clausen getting simultaneously sacked by all 4 defenders is still one of the funniest football plays I've ever seen. Just a perfect picture of ineptitude of an ovverrated opponent lining up against a legit football team. It's so good it should be a gif.
To add to ChopBlock's post above:
- Clausen was 11-17 for 74 yards passing and 0 TDs with 1 INT.
- Evan Sharpley was 2-5 for 11 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT.
- Clausen had 9 carries (if they could be called that) for -65 rushing yards.
I remember Michigan got 6 picks against Bill Burke and Todd Schultz of MSU.
It included this little number:
Is that Brady Hoke at the 1:15 mark in the video?
...It certainly isn't Governor Chrisite.
Let's not forget our own Demetrious Brown throwing 7 picks against MSU in 1987. And we still only lost 17-11.
EDIT: Should've read everything below...Tripp Welborne pointed this fact out before me. Apologies, Tripp.
for me too. He also threw another int, but there was a penalty and it didn't register as an int.
The best part is that Millen had just traded for him and they acted like he was going to be the savior because Charlie Batch wasn't their guy. A healthy reminder that Millen sucks (like you needed one).
Performance in the Sugar Bowl while at Ohio State.
Didn't anyone have anything better to do that night?
from Johnny Utah.
Also not College but I remember my main man Derek Anderson going 2 for 17 with a bunch of turnovers in a 6-3 OT win for my Browns over the Bengals...pretty riveting stuff
Yeah, my two main QBs had bye weeks so i picked him up expecting him to do a good job of just managing the game. He got me -2 points. I would have done better just playing Eli Manning (who had a bye).
Bauserman was 1 of 10 for 13 yards and 1 INT, and he managed 1 rushing attempt for -1 yards. Against Miami a few weeks before that, he was 2 of 14 for 13 yards, and had 3 rushing attempts for -3 yards.
(Nelson from Simpsons voice.)
but I think back in 2006 or 2007, the QB for Mississippi State threw 6 picks in their opener that year. I also want to say he got sacked a bunch of times and completed like a 1/3 of his passes for hardly any yards. I don't remember much about it, except that it was bad enough for me to remember a stat line from a game from a long time ago, by a team I care nothing about.
Besides that, Ty Detmer's 7 int. game is hands down the worst QB performance I've ever seen.
Threw 7 interceptions in a 1987 loss to MSU.
he'd only thrown 6, we would have won.
vs nd. I don't recall much about that game other than it seemed like every single INT was at my end of the field. I think we had 7 to's that game like 5 int's and 2 fumbles lost. Thanks to a lot of whiskey ... I didn't remember much the next day!
Go Blue!
If you're too young to remember the 1987 Michigan-Michigan State game, consider yourself fortunate.
If you'd like the ultimate dong punch, google it. But I warned you.
...partial games I've ever seen was the 2007 UCLA-ND game when McLeod Bethel-Thompson threw 4 picks and gave up a fumble in three disastrous quarters. He was a true freshman that practically had the clipboard ripped out of his hands when UCLA's starter was injured.
I spent the whole game cringing and hoping he wouldn't be seriously injured, but there's a bright side: Dude survived and is currently on the Vikings roster.
McLeod Bethel-Thompson? Is he the prince of some UK territory or something?
#1 Miami in 1984, Bernie Kosar threw 6 interceptions against us. (Or should I say to us?)
Weeden: 0 TDs, 4 INTs.
|Brandon Weeden
Common now....did you see the Bengals game last week? Both Weedon & Richardson looked fantastic in that one.
But, because the Cleveland Browns are bound by the arrangement they made in 1998 when they were granted an exansion franchise, they must suck on one side of the ball or the other, so the defense collapsed.
I'll be there Sunday watching them play the Bills. And my expectation is that Special Teams will do something stupid and cost them the game so that they can feel like they contributed to the mounting Browns legacy of defeat.
The first half of the 2001 Ohio game. In that half, John Navarre may have had more turnovers than completions, or at least it felt like it. And then he was pulled for our final drive before halftime for Jermaine Gonzales, who was still looking at the sideline while the shotgun snap sailed past him for a safety. We were a heavy favorite, looking to clinch the Big Ten title, and then found ourselves trailing 23-0 at halftime.
To me, this was the real "Horror" game. That first half was shockingly bad and we couldn't recover. (Big John, to his credit, played a lot better in the second half, but we'd dug too big a hole.) It started the stretch of futility against Tressel, and I felt like our program didn't fully recover for the rest of the Carr era.
To his credit, Navarre led the team back and was an easy dropped TD pass from completing the comeback.
when people talk about our great receivers just for that drop alone. His numbers were great, but all anyone remembers was that one play that probably cost us the game.
True - I remember that one. If he'd caught that pass, that game could have been the biggest comeback in school history and maybe we go on to do better against Tressel thereafter. Oh well.
Vinny Testaverde threw 5 INTs and no TDs during the 1987 Fiesta Bowl, which was to decide the winner of the 1986 National Championship. Miami out gained Penn State on the field, 445 yards to 162, with 22 first downs compared to the Nittany Lions 8, but still lost the game. That's probably the worst combo of "terrible performance+in a big game" I can think of.
Nick Sheridan 2008 gets my 2nd place vote.
Jim Clausen, M vs. ND 2007.
Minus the last few minutes of the fourth quarter
Although, probably not all his fault since the Florida defemse terrorized him all game, Troy Smith completed 4 passes in the National Championship game and had -29 rushing yards.
One of Greg Mattison's best gameplans.
The Sheridan performance against Penn State in 2008 was pretty hard to watch...
11/34 for 68 yards. Hurray zero picks I guess?
but Henne's arm was basically hanging out of its socket.
given your signature right below it
All the more reason Mallett should have played more. I get that Henne was a senior, his last regular season game, it's OSU, etc., etc. He clearly was in no condition to be playing.
Any game where Lovie Smith ended his press conference with "Rex is our Quarterback"
Even worse was when Lovie put in Todd Collins in the last year of his NFL career into a game vs the Giants in the second half when Cutler got hurt. 4/11 for 36 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT. Then he had to start the following week because Cutler was still out - 6/16 for 32 yards, 0 TD, 4 INT, qb rating 6.2. He was pulled after 3 quarters in that game.
I love Collins for his time at UM but in his final NFL season he sucked.
But wiki has a list of the NFL players to post a 0.0 QB rating-
Will forever be etched in my mind as the sinlge worst game I've witnessed. Absolutely deplorable. He complete ONE pass for FOUR yards. ONE!!!!!
Pulled the old database up and Brian Luke from Kansas gets the worst showing at -28 in a 2005 game against Oklahoma. 11/30 86 yards, 3 INT and -40 yards rushing
Henne's 11/34 against Ohio in 2007 is Michigan's worst showing (-20), although if you adjust for defense, Nick Sheridan's 2008 against NW (-15) takes the cake.
Juice Williams narrowly edges out Henne for worst B1G game, with a -20 in 2008 against Penn St
I haven't read through other responses yet so don't know if this was mentioned. In the mid-80s when I was a student Miami (FL) came to Ann Arbor highly ranked, maybe even #1. Bernie Kosar threw six picks that day, and our beloved Wolverines won.
Nelson of BYU threw for 19 yards and 3 picks including a pick six against Boise St.
I don't see a Russell Bellomy mention?
Also Navarre versus UCLA, that was brutal.
And whoever was playing QB for Rutgers against us last year.

New Poll: Hawaiians Split on Marriage Equality
A new poll by the Hawaiian newspaper the Honolulu Civil Beat finds voters from the Aloha State are divided when it comes to marriage equality with 44 percent backing same-sex marriage and 44 percent against it.
The Civil Beat reports that just "a handful of residents surveyed" said they are not sure about gay marriage.
Though marriage equality is split among Hawaiians, the Civil Beat reports support is up from April 2012, when the newspaper conducted a similar survey and found that 51 percent did not believe same-sex couples should have the right to tie the knot. Only 37 percent backed gay marriage and 12 percent were undecided.
"This is the trend of the country," Matt Fitch, executive director of Merriman River Group, which conducted the Civil Beat Poll, told the newspaper. "It is just something that people are moving on from. I think this is becoming less of a flashpoint. Not only that, those opposed to it are less fervent as well."
The latest poll from the Civil Beat surveyed 819 registered voters in Hawaii from Oct. 9-10.
Next week, Hawaii's Legislature will hold a special session on Oct. 28 and will focus on gay marriage. Gov. Neil Abercrombie and state House and Senate Democrats, which control both chambers, believe the marriage equality bill will pass, Civil Beat reports.
According to the poll, half of the people surveyed said that religion does not impact their views on gay marriage but one-fourth said it was a "major" factor.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The state Department of Tourism is going to be filming a commercial with University of Wisconsin basketball coach Bo Ryan.
It will be directed by David and Jerry Zucker and Jim Abrahams. They also handled previous tourism commercials spoofing their movie "Airplane," with actor Robert Hays and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
Zucker also directed a previous tourism ad with Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson.
More details about the commercial are expected to be released Wednesday at a news conference.
The commercial featuring Ryan will air in the summer of 2015.

Scenes for two movies scheduled to be released in 2015, "American Ultra" and "Get Hard," are being filmed in Raceland.
Scenes for two movies scheduled to be released in 2015, "American Ultra" and "Get Hard," are being filmed in Raceland.
Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg, Sharon Stone and John Leguizamo are starring in the independent film "American Ultra" about the lives of a slacker (Eisenberg) and his girlfriend (Stewart) being turned upside down when a government operation sets its target on them.
"Get Hard," featuring Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart and the rapper T.I. focuses on a millionaire (Ferrell) who is bound for prison for committing fraud and turns to a friend (Hart) to help prepare him for life behind bars. Filming began this spring in New Orleans and has shifted to Raceland.
In 2012, Oscar-nominated film "The Butler" was filmed in part in Raceland.
Since the state adopted its filmmaking tax credits in 2002, film and TV production has steadily grown in the state.
Earlier this year, Film L.A., the city of Los Angeles' nonprofit film office, issued a report that said the Louisiana film industry in 2013 overtook California for the title of the film-production capital of the world.
Eighteen of the 108 major-studio movies released into theaters last year were shot substantially in Louisiana, the report says.
"The Film Commission of Los Angeles ranked Louisiana as the No. 1 destination for feature film shooting," said Chris Stelly, director of Louisiana Entertainment, a division of Louisiana Economic Development. "If you look at last year's Oscars you had Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey win awards for their work in 'Dallas Buyers Club,' and that was shot in New Orleans. You had '12 Years a Slave' win best picture and best supporting actress, and that was shot in Louisiana."
South Louisiana has more movies on tap in the coming weeks.
"It's just going to continue. 'Fantastic Four' begins shooting in Baton Rouge next month, 'Jurassic World,' the fourth part in the Jurassic Park series, is shooting in New Orleans this summer along with 'Terminator 5,'" he said.
The local filming sometimes involves local people.
Henry Jolly, 31, of St. Bernard Parish, said he and his dog were recruited for roles in "Get Hard."
His 3-year-old dog, Golden Goliath, stole scenes while playing a dog owned by a gang member. Jolly plays the dog's owner.
"I play a part of T.I.'s gang. I don't have any lines, but it's a lot of fun. Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart are hilarious on the set, and they crack a lot of jokes and do a lot of improvising," Jolly said.
Due to connections he's made in the film industry, Jolly has played bit parts in everything from Showtime's "Treme" to "The Butler".
As more movies are made in the state, smaller communities like Raceland will likely be featured on the big screen, Stelly said.
"The film industry is choosing us, tax incentives being the No. 1 determining factor in that decision. In addition to that, we're desirable as a location to studios because we have a mature infrastructure, a skilled workforce and film-friendly communities. Other states have incentives in place, but they're not as conducive to filming as we are."
Aside from the tax breaks, Stelly see Louisiana as a star in these films.
"Our state is so culturally and historically rich that it's attractive to the artistic spirit of these films. When you shoot a film in Louisiana you can count on the state becoming a character in your project. We've got a lot of good things going for us," he said.

SPARTANBURG, SC (FOX Carolina/CNN)- - A South Carolina Upstate dad became a doctor, at least for a few minutes, when his wife gave birth at home along with the help of a Spartanburg 911 dispatcher.
Spartanburg County dispatcher Floyd Thompson got the 911 call that was a first for him. He said when he got the call from the Lutzs, Rob Lutz said his wife was in labor, but the baby wasn't waiting for an ambulance.
911 Dispatch: "What's the address of your emergency?"
Rob Lutz: "My wife's having a baby."
911 Dispatch: "OK."
Rob Lutz: "It's crowning."
Laura Lutz said when her water broke and the contractions became really intense, she knew her husband needed to call 911.
"Little Jude was in a big hurry. He didn't want to wait," Laura Lutz said.
But Thompson quickly realized it was up to him and Rob Lutz to help her through the delivery. Rob Lutz said Thompson remained calm while he was in the moment, even yelling at some points.
911 Dispatch: "OK, you said the head's already out, right?"
Rob Lutz: "Yes, he's coming out all the way."
911 Dispatch: "Alright as the baby delivers, support the baby's head and shoulders and hold it width and length firmly. Remember the baby will be slippery, so don't drop it."
Thompson was there every step of the way, instructing Rob Lutz how to tie off the umbilical cord. The Lutzs said they used a Christmas ribbon to improvise in the fast-developing situation.
"This was my first over-the-phone delivery," Thompson said. "It was definitely a different experience. Thanks to our exceptional training that 911 gives us, I felt like I was pretty prepared for it."
Thompson guided the Lutzs through baby Jude's birth then got the chance to meet the family, which he said is a rare occasion.
"We wanted to definitely meet Floyd and have Jude meet Floyd and thank him for keeping us all calm and taking care of the delivery," Laura Lutz said.
911 Dispatch: "Good luck."
Rob Lutz: "Thank you."
911 Dispatch: "You're welcome. Congratulations."
The Lutzs said by the time they realized it was time to get to the hospital and wake up their other kids, it was just too late.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WBW) - A Tennessee man is accused of substituting a cheaper, unapproved drug from China in medications it sold to Kansas Dialysis.
The U.S. Attorney's Office announced an indictment Wednesday against 53-year-old Robert Harshbarger, Jr. of Kingsport, Tenn. for one count of selling misbranded drugs, one count of mail fraud and five counts of health care fraud. Harshbarger did business as American Inhalation Medication Specialists, Inc.
The indictment alleges Harshbarger substituted the cheaper drug for the iron sucrose drug Venofer received by kidney dialysis patients treated by Kansas Dialysis Services, L.C. The substance was not certified by the Food and Drug Administration to meet quality and safety standards.
According to the indictment, Harhbarger's company sold the misbranded substance from 2004 to 2009. It received more than $875,000 from Kansas Dialysis and more than $845,000 from health care benefit programs including Medicare and Medicaid for the misbranded drug.
"Although there are no reports of patient harm associated with the drugs that are alleged to be misbranded in this indictment, patient health was put at risk," U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom said in a statement. "The FDA cannot assure the safety and effectiveness of products that are not FDA approved and come from unknown sources and foreign locations, or that may not have been manufactured under proper conditions. These unknowns put patients' health at risk because of uncertainty concerning the product's content, purity and source."
Grissom said current and former patients of Kansas Dialysis do not need to be concerned. He says iron deficiencies would have been addressed during the course of a patient's dialysis treatments.
Grissom did say patients should bring any questions to their physicians.
According to the U.S. Attorney's office, Harshbarger purchased iron sucrose from Chinese companies including Qingdao Shenbang Chemical Company in Qingdao, China, and Shanghai Rory Fine Chemicals Co., Ltd., in Shanghai, China. The iron sucrose from China was cheaper than purchasing Venofer.
If convicted, Harshbarger faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000 on the mail fraud count; a maximum penalty of 10 years and a fine up to $250,000 on each of the health care fraud counts; and a maximum penalty of three years and a fine up to $250,000 on the charge of selling a misbranded drug.
The Food and Drug Administration and the Dept. of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General, investigated. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tanya Treadway is prosecuting.

This chocolate sour cream bread comes courtesy of my favorite bear in the whole wide world! Winnie-the-Pooh Bear! Who would of thought that silly old bear could remove his hand head from the hunny pot long enough to bake?! No less write a cookbook!? I'm glad because this is one of the most delicious breads to ever cross my lips.
The 'chocolate' is cocoa powder and mini chocolate chips with sour cream for a rich, tenderness that keeps it from drying out. It's insanely fast and easy to throw together with scrumptious results.
Its great for snacking on any time of the day with a smear of peanut butter, nutella, butter, or even cream cheese. I imagine it would be wonderful with fresh berries and whipped cream
I made three mini-loaves instead of one standard loaf and imagine they would make perfect muffins too.
With two kind of chocolate, walnuts and sour cream this a rich, moist delectable dessert bread!
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a standard loaf pan or three mini loaf pans.
- Using a hand mixer on low speed beat together sour cream, butter, sugar and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs one at time beating after each addition.
- On low speed beat in cocoa, milk, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix in flour by hand until smooth - batter will be fairly thick. Mix in chocolate chips.
- Spoon into loaf pan or divide evenly among three mini pans. Scatter walnuts and chocolate chips evenly across top.
- Bake the loaf pan 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Bake the mini loaf pans 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.

From the very beginning of using these blades I have always had a handful of blades that have CRC errors showing up on each of these switches (so both chassis have the same problem). I can tell when this happens because the O/S (XenServer 6.0) show aborts in the kernel message log, and there is a 30 second O/S "hang" on all of the VMs on that blade until the controller aborts the I/O. It is very annoying and users do notice the problem. Usually only one of the two switches for a particular blade will experience the CRC errors, so the workaround is to disable the port in the offending switch. It means that the FC is no longer redundant for that blade and a hardware failure could knock out the FC on the blade completely.
I went through the process of updating the firmware and EDC images on the QMI2582 cards, nailed up the connection speeds to 8Gb on the switch and HBA ports, and ensured that the EDC image selection was for the Brocade switch. I have also updated the firmware on the brocade switches to the latest (Fabric O/S 6.4.2b) and have verified the FPGA versions on them. The combination of updates did settle down some of the CRC errors, but some still persist. I have also managed to eliminate some of the CRC error prone connections by playing shell games with the blades between slots. It is disturbing that this actually works, telling me that there is still some marginal signal integrity issue in the overall scheme of things for which the EDC firmware cannot totally compensate on the QMI2582.
Here is the "scli -i" output from XenServer for one port of the QMI2585 modules:
-------------------------------- Host Name : bceng2-xs8 HBA Instance : 0 HBA Model : QMI2582 HBA Description : QMI2582 QLogic 8Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CIOv)

I have run out of ideas regarding this and am looking for help to further diagnose and ultimately solve the issue. The support folks are quite happy just changing out QMI2582 modules until something works, but that is not an end solution, it is just a band aid. I am sure that I am not the only experiencing this issue and want to help come up with a real end solution. So folks, please weigh in.

Renault looks to wee-hued windows to cut car power draw
Leverages Insulated bodywork and psychology too
'Leccy Tech Say 'bonjour' to Renault's electric city car concept, the imaginately monikered ZE - for 'Zero Emission', if you have to ask - which it expects to put into full-scale production three years down the 'pike.
The ZE is a Renault Kangoo Be Bop, itself derived from a compact concept car Renault unveiled last year. Strip out the Be Bop's practical features and replaced them with 2001: A Space Odyssey white plastic seating and you've got the ZE.
Renault's ZE: yellow-green windows for insulation... or that filled-with-wee look?
Completing the spec is a lithium-ion battery and a 70kW (95bhp) electric motor capable of producing 166lb-ft (226Nm) of torque.
Interestingly, Renault is one of the few motor makers who talk about the energy consumption of "auxiliary functions" when discussing electric cars. In other words, it's factoring in the power need to run the air conditioning, radio, iPod and - this being a French car company - the ciggie lighter.
It said "special attention has been paid to reduce the amount of energy required to run such equipment", which includes heat-reflective paint, "acid green"-tinted glass and insulating bodywork to ensure the cooler/heater has less work to do. The body panels are air-tight, using the thin layer of air sandwiched between them as an insulator.
No mirrors, just cameras
Roof-fitted solar panels power the ZE's temperature regulation system, Renault said, and the heating system uses psychology: only heat the steering wheel, and the driver will feel warm no matter what, apparently.
The headlights are LED-illuminated, and the car uses cameras instead of airflow-hindering mirrors.

The 25-year-old, who recently played in England for Leeds United and Stevenage and has 18 caps for the U.S. team, wrote on his website - under the title "The Next Chapter" - that he had been afraid to raise the issue. There are no openly gay players playing in Major League Soccer or in the English professional leagues. "Secrets can cause so much internal damage. People love to preach about honesty, how honesty is so plain and simple. Try explaining to your loved ones after 25 years you are gay," he wrote on Friday. "For the past 25 years I have been afraid, afraid to show whom I really was because of fear. Fear that judgment and rejection would hold me back from my dreams and aspirations. Fear that my loved ones would be farthest from me if they knew my secret. Fear that my secret would get in the way of my dreams. "Dreams of going to a World Cup, dreams of the Olympics, dreams of making my family proud. What would life be without these dreams? Could I live a life without them?" Rogers made his name in MLS with Columbus Crew and was part of the U.S. team at the Beijing Olympics and narrowly missed out on a place in the U.S. World Cup squad in 2010. "STEP AWAY" The winger most recently played for the United States in 2011 but struggled following a move to English second tier club Leeds in January 2012, being loaned out to third tier Stevenage before being released by Leeds last month. "I will never forget the friends I have made a long the way and the friends that supported me once they knew my secret," he said. "Now is my time to step away. It's time to discover myself away from football." Many expected Rogers to return to Major League Soccer where his rights had been acquired by the Chicago Fire, although he had expressed unhappiness at the contractual situation in the North American league. The Californian is residing in London where he has been undertaking an internship with the magazine Men's Health. Rogers' statement was met with warm messages of solidarity from several leading U.S. soccer players on social media. "100 percent love and support for one of my best friends Robbie Rogers. You will be missed on the pitch. Amazing talent, amazing person," said midfielder Sacha Kljestan, a U.S. team mate who plays in Belgium with Anderlecht. Sports people who come out as gay are rare. England's Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor told Britain's Sky Sports News that soccer would only start to win the battle against prejudice if gay players "ideally come out during their career even if it's towards the end of their career". Former U.S. national team goalkeeper Kasey Keller, who also played in English club football, said he hoped to see Rogers back in the game. "The bravery of Robbie Rogers is commendable, I hope he realizes that he doesn't need to retire. He will be more supported than he knows," Keller wrote on Twitter.

Halle Berry had to restrain her fiance Olivier Martinez from lashing out at the paparazzi on Monday after they were swarmed by a crowd of snappers as they tried to exit Los Angeles International Airport.
The actors had just returned to L.A. from a vacation in Hawaii with Berry's daughter Nahla and they immediately caught the attention of photographers as they headed towards the terminal doors to their waiting car.
In video footage of the incident, obtained by TMZ.com, Berry and her child, who was being carried by Martinez, are depicted trying to shield their faces from the bright lights as they force their way through the horde of snappers, but one photographer appeared to get a little too close for comfort, prompting the Oscar winner to shout, "Get away, there's a child… what the f— is wrong with you people?"
One paparazzo can be heard off-camera calling out to Martinez, saying, "You push me, why you push me (sic)?", and after placing Nahla in the car, the Frenchman is then caught on film turning as he appears ready to lash out at the offending man, only for Berry to hold him back and tell him, "Olivier, no! Olivier, no!" and push him into the vehicle as they prepared to leave.
Berry is no stranger to clashes with the paparazzi – she has been fighting to have snappers banned from taking pictures of celebrities and their kids near their children's schools, and even filed a legal request to relocate to Paris, France to escape the heavy media attention she is regularly subjected to. She lost her bid last year as part of her ongoing custody battle with Nahla's dad, model Gabriel Aubry.

Washington, D.C. – The Army plans additional Gray Eagle units, one for each of 10 active-duty divisions, and several more for special operations units, aerial exploitation units and the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, CA.
With the current program of record, a purchase of 152 Gray Eagles in total, the Army won't have enough of the aircraft to give a full assignment of 12 aircraft to every one of the divisions it plans on equipping; so some may get as few as nine aircraft. But when those units go downrange, they will get a full component, Army aviation officials said.
An MQ-1C Gray Eagle unmanned aircraft makes its way down an airfield on Camp Taji, Iraq, before a surveillance mission in the Baghdad area. The Gray Eagle is the Army's newest "eyes in the sky," and is being tested by Quick Reaction Capability 1-Reaction 1, the only unit using the aircraft in Iraq. (U.S. Army photo by Spc.

I am terrified of Mingo. Big Safeties like LaRon Landry and Kam Chancellor are bigger than this guy.
Personally very intrigued by Austin, even though he is a smurf. Looks like Percy Harvin without the headaches (both literally and metaphorically).
You didn't meet Johnathan Cooper? Very interested in seeing him as a Jet.

There will never be another school days. However you take it.
Aside from the the picture show, I'm enjoying the show. Great art is better than something wicked sloppy, yet I can take 'experimental' style animation. Maybe it would've been better with some sort of animation... with minimal reuse.
Can't please everyone. Even if Senjougahara wasn't visually in the episode her presence still prevades it. I think Arragi has to deal with his 'messiah' complex. Have to say she's more #1 favorite female char here, with Nadeko stealing #2 thanks to that OP... and maybe my thing for that archetype.

Sexual frustration and fantasy projection.
Some people (mostly males) are fascinated with school days only because it is one of the few "non hentai anime" where the male lead gets to easily have sex with a virtual harem of girls, three of whom just wanted to see if he was a good shag.
I mean that is the only selling point apart from the art/animation design of the girls.
I also echo the theory that there will never be another SD.
And I add... that no one in their right capitalistic mind, aside from doujin lunatics, would take the characters from this BKMG title and defile them with the mayhem that is school days.
It would be a travesty of epic proportions.
It must and will never happen.

Although the animation was a bit off [I took their mouths not talking as a stylistic choice. Guess it wasn't], I enjoyed this episode. The OP is ridiculously cute, probably since she's one of my more favorite characters.
I have to admit, their character models felt off this episode, and this wasn't as fulfilling for a arc-ender, but I felt all the cuts actually added to the tension. Not knowing what was going on and seeing him hurt a few times really added to the suspense of the scene, since it felt like you really couldn't see what was hurting Araragi and that he was just getting beat up in a different way than with Kanbaru. It's comparable to the old techniques of off-screen fights, conveyed through shadows and such.
That's the only part though; the parts after the fight were strange. It still wasn't that bad; the dialogue was still good and I enjoyed the resolution.
Edit: lol@the animation timing in the beginning of the OP not syncing with the first second of the song.

funny intro song, that really made me smile
all these scenes "black, white, red" with the coloured background

is this on purpose or do we get to see this scenes someday in a directors cut or something? lol

Just watched gg's ep 10 of this series and well, I was a little puzzled at first by the really low frame count, the large number of various still shots etc. And the OP was the only thing that was animated devently... which didn't add very much to the plot as far as I can tell.
But anyway, I agree with Vexx on the divided opinions of this episode. I mean, it is from a light novel so one does have a bit more freedom in creating the animated screenplay (if any). Though other light novel adaptations make the animators seem either very lazy, or very broke.
Perhaps they should have turned the second half of the episode into an audio book with the VAs reading out their relevant parts, and lead as the narrator (his POV). It might have been more interesting that way, rather than a pseudo audio drama.

becuz till now, every ep I saw has got those screens in it
I guess I'm going to buy the DVD in order to see those scenes haha xD
what's left me hanging is that there's not enough Senjougahara lol
I hope there's more in Tsubasa's Cat
I, personally, didn't really like that Nadeko Snake arc ...
Ok, I like it, but the other arcs were better^^

Like everyone has said this story arc wasn't particularly interesting, but I think that this arc really isn't about Nadeko. This is building up something that is going to happen to Araragi.
I think that is why they didn't spend much time on Nadeko's character. Viewers cannot grow attached to characters that have very little interaction and very little spoken dialog.
It seems to me that the problem of Araragi has been building up since part 3 of the Rainy Devil arc.
You could tell that Oshino was pissed off at Araragi for going to fight Kanbaru instead of chopping off her arm. And this episode is the same thing. Araragi is trying to help the people who caused his friend harm.
I think that Oshino is gonna get pissed and slap Araragi across the face. I havn't read the novels so I don't know that this is really what is going on.
Also. I want more Hachikuji. She is my fav female character in this show. I just love her voice.

As someone who despised School Days, I sincerely hope theres never a repeat of that crappy show. Back to the topic at hand now. I'm curious about this arc. Who was it who cursed Nadeko? 2 people, a girl, her former friend, and a boy who grew angry with her rejection?
Was the girl one of his younger sisters then? I mean consider when she went to see him, she didn't want to talk to her friend, his sister. Will that have an impact in the upcoming episodes? Not just on whatever guy it was, but possibly one of his sisters?

Kind of fits that the first step to stop helping people connected to oddities is to abandon Shinobu. Since I can't see him not trying to help the only option is to find a way to help better. Just being able to take a ton of damage and survive won't resolve the oddity situations.
Should be interesting to see how this is touched on in the next arc. Araragi managed to just avoid casualties in the first few times, but this time he couldn't do everything. Of course he saved those that should have been saved and the kid who had the snake come back to him pretty much had it coming. Certainly it's better than Nadeko dying or Araragi dying.

Well... at least by this time, Koyomi would have to stop and think before he acts. He just can't keep playing God forever, and save all of humanity from all oddities. Especially in this case, since the oddity this time is made out of spite. I agree with what most people said that this arc was not used just to introduce another character, but it focuses more on Koyomi and how he will grow up. Even though Nadeko obviously have feelings for Koyomi, the series just dropped it and moved on to Koyomi's problems.
I think the arc was divided into 2 so that it would show the two negative effects of Koyomi's so called "Extreme Kindness". First part of the arc shows that by being kind, it causes misunderstandings on what Koyomi is feeling, as mentioned by Hanekawa. Second part shows as what most people noticed, Koyomi's tendency of playing God, and saving all people from oddities.
Overall, the episode is excellent. Nadeko's opening is very cute.
I can't wait for Tsubasa Cat arc.

this is not true! you just dont get the meaning of those parts... try watching it 10 times! im sure you'll get what that anime wants to show. its not all about sex and mayhem.
also, dont call doujin boys "LUNATICS"... they're just pervs... but calling then idiots is a big mistake, they are more intelligent than ever you could imagine.
ok ok sorry.... i just dont want one of my favs being critizied badly.
^^back to BKMG ep 10
well, the arc ended well.... and also Araragi-kun left in a deep mental conflict about what he would do on his future.
you all give pretty impression on the story, im so amused reading all of your comments

I liked how some of them were put in during the earlier episodes, gave it a good light novel feeling to me..so DVDs release can expect to have none of those?

I gave it a 5 because of the animation. I'm not going to judge what could have been or what it will be in the future, I'm judging what it is now.
The story was respectable. Why the first snake would be destroyed by the ritual and not the second didn't make sense to me though. I guess it needed to be that way so Ararararagi would have to live with not being able to save that random boy he doesn't know.
I also really like the music they've been playing. That piano music.

Patent Troll Targeting Users of Scanners; Wants $1000/Employee 227
New submitter earlzdotnet writes "A new patent troll is in town, this time targeting the users of technology, rather than the creators. They appear to hold a process patent for 'scanning a document and then emailing it.' They are targeting small businesses in a variety of locations and usually want somewhere between $900 to $1200 per employee for 'infringement' of their patent. As with most patent trolls, they go by a number of shell companies, but the original company name appears to be Project Paperless LLC. Joel Spolsky said in a tweet that 'This is organized crime, plain and simple...' I tend to agree with him. When will something be done about this legal mafia?"

CLARK COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - For weeks now, things are starting to quiet across four Central Kentucky counties, and Clark County Sheriff Berl Perdue points to the recent arrests of several suspects in a burglary ring as the reason.
"It's made a hundred percent impact. We've had very little go on on that end of the county," answered the Sheriff.
For a while Sheriff Perdue said the burglary ring was running rampant, breaking into homes in Estill, Montgomery, Clark and Powell Counties.
"At one time, we didn't have a whole lot of leads, but then it all came together," said Sheriff Perdue.
Finally, a break came for investigators when Otis Dunaway was arrested in Clay City. Police say he and Tim Profitt, along with Amanda Tharpe broke into a home there, and were found just a short distance away with some of the stolen items. Powell County deputies say Clyde Dunn, Jr. was also arrested in connection with the string of crimes.
From there, the cases began to stack up against the ring, and most of them appear to be in Sheriff Perdue's county.
"At this time we can connect them to ten burglaries here," he said.
"I'm glad that they finally caught them, but I know that's probably just the first couple out of a probably pretty long string," Tim Toews, who lives in Clark County, is right.
"There's probably seven people involved, maybe eight, (and) we expect to make more arrests on this," explained the Sheriff.
Since these ring leaders' arrests, Sheriff Perdue said his investigators have recovered 44 stolen guns, as well as several thousand dollars in jewelry, guitars, and Tvs. They say they were all recovered in three counties.
"It raises your awareness up around you, but since they're handling it pretty good, it lets me know I'm in a safe neighborhood," boasted Roylondus Mayes, who also lives in Clark County.
Investigators aren't done either, as cases are still being worked across the four counties. Montgomery County Sheriff Fred Shortridge said his deputies have one case already against these suspects. In Powell County, deputies suspect the ring to be behind two or three burglaries, and all of the investigators say more charges could be added.

Jeda Networks
CEO: Stuart Berman
February saw storage networking startup Jeda Networks come out of stealth mode with new overlay technology for software-defined networks it said brings networked storage to converged infrastructures without the need for Ethernet switches. Jeda Networks' technology takes a pure software approach to storage networking by abstracting the primary services of a storage network from the underlying physical hardware to reduce the cost and complexity of storage in virtualized and cloud environments. Its technology virtualizes a physical storage network into a software overlay using the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol that talks to industry-standard networks, as well as scales for users from SMBs to cloud providers. All a solution provider needs is a 10-GbE switch from any qualified vendor, with no other specialized hardware or software required, the company said. One of Jeda Networks' target markets will be converged infrastructure OEMs as well as other storage vendors.

ESTHERVILLE - The golf season opened on a very positive note for the Emmetsburg Lady E-Hawks as they captured the top team honors at Tuesday's Estherville Lincoln Central Invitational. The event was played at the Estherville Golf Club.
"For the lack of course time we've had this season, this was pretty exciting," noted Emmetsburg Head Coach Ted Riley."This was a very good outing for us at this time of the year."
Emmetsburg's Ashton Connelly would earn runner-up medalist honors with a round of 52, trailing medalist Tia Bernholz of ELC, who carded a 51 for the medalist honors.
Finishing third overall was Taylor Knight of the Lady E-Hawks, who also shot a round of 52 but placed third off a tiebreaker to her teammate. Emmetsburg senior Hannah VanOosbree earned fourth place individually with a round of 53, while Katie Ruiz would card a 55.
Emmetsburg senior Jacque Carlson shot a round of 59 and Michaela Rehm rounded out the varsity effort with a round of 65.
Final team scoring saw Emmetsburg win with a score of 212, besting Spencer, who shot a 227. Harris-Lake Park finished third with a 231, while Estherville Lincoln Cental placed fourth with a round of 251. Spirit Lake was fifth with a 256 stroke total and North Union placed sixth with a 281, while Cherokee fielded just three golfers and had an incomplete score.
"We've got a squad of 18 girls this season who are all working very hard,"?noted Riley. "It's good to finally be able to play a meet and get the time on the course. Hopefully, the weather will straighten out and we'll be able to get the junior varsity out on the course as well."
The Lady E-Hawks are scheduled to golf at Spencer today (Thursday), weather permitting, and then resume action Monday at Spirit Lake before hosting Western Christian and ELC?on Tuesday.

2011 Kloof Street (Mullineux Family Wines) Chenin Blanc Swartland South Africa
Review Date: 11-12-2011
This South African chenin blanc is round and creamy, with spice, mineral and tropical fruit notes and just enough acidity. While pleasant, this wine doesn't have the vibrant personality of other, less-oaked South African chenin blancs.
Price: $18.99
2010 Château Viranel "Tradition" Coteaux du Languedoc Blanc
Review Date: 11-11-2011
This interesting wine has inviting floral and stone fruit aromas but unfortunately a bitter taste overwhelms its subtle mineral and citrus flavors.

2009 Phillipe Tessier Cour Cheverny Blanc

2010 Simonsig Chenin Blanc Stellenbosch
Review Date: 10-21-2011
A straightforward sipping wine, with apple and pear, a hint of tropical fruit, and a dash of herbs. Almost not acidic enough for my taste - any less acidity and I might have thought I was drinking a Chardonnay!

2010 Pascal Janvier Coteaux du Loir Blanc

2010 Cave de Tavel "Lauzeraies" Tavel
Review Date: 10-08-2011
A delicious rose with a raspberry aroma and subtle vanilla flavor tempered by brisk acidity. Flavors are not quite as complex as those of the 2010 Les Vignerons de Fontes Prieure Saint-Hippolyte Languedoc Rose (https://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1071842), but this is a thoroughly enjoyable wine nonetheless. A definite repeat buy!

2010 Pascal Janvier Jasnières
Review Date: 09-25-2011
A delicious, zippy chenin blanc with plenty of stone fruit, mineral, and honey aromas that remind me of a Mosel Riesling minus the sweetness. Another great Jasnieres from Pascal Janvier! Can't wait to try the Cuvee Silex as well.

I'm a new mom and my baby is almost 3 weeks old.
I'm so confused about the proper way or best way to feed my son.
My baby was born at 37 weeks via c-section. When I was still in the hospital I was exclusively breastfeeding every 2 hours thinking he was getting enough. My baby's weight dropped 9.5% by the third day. So I saw a lactation consultant and she said baby is latching well and seems to be swallowing good too. But when I tried to pump to evaluate how much milk I have considering baby had no poop on 2nd day, I was only able to get 2 ml at that time. So they had me supplement with formula. Over the last 2 weeks, I've been giving him 2 oz expressed breastmilk or formula (when my milk supply is low), afterwhich I let him latch for as long as he wants until he falls asleep which is just anywhere from 5-10 mins. Problem is lately my milk seems to be slowing down that I've been supplementing with formula more and more. I considered not pumping at all, but my baby falls asleep easily while at the breast so I'm concerned about how much milk he is able to take in. How long do u breastfeed and how often? Do u have a set schedule say 15 mins each breast (total 30) every 3 hours day/night? When do you start demand feeding? Is it best to nurse first then pump whatever is left? I just wanna be able to have more milk supply to give my baby.

Aquaculture Business Management and MarketingJuly 29, 9:00am - 4:00pm
Mānoa Campus, Ballroom, Campus Center
To help the U.S. aquaculture industry survive difficult economic times and challenges, the National Aquaculture Association (NAA) and the United Soybean Board are offering a series of grower workshops in 2013.
This industry has an unprecedented opportunity for growth, but that growth will require that producers be armed with business development skills that can lead to sound management and the development of viable long-term growth strategies.
The NAA speakers are Dr. Carole Engle, Dr. Madan Dey and Linda ODierno. In addition, NAA will provide the participants all program materials.
Dr. Engle has worked with more than 100 catfish farmers to develop comprehensive financial analyses and business plans. The workshop will discuss what steps were taken by the catfish farmers who survived these difficult financial times and what the early warning signs were for farms that did not survive. A simplified system to conduct an annual checkup of financial health will be presented with supporting materials (workbook and flash drive with electronic materials).
Dr. Dey will share summaries of trends in prices and quantities sold for the most important regional aquaculture products. The trend analysis was developed using retail scanner data from 52 cities across the United States during a seven year period (2005-2011). Individual producers will have the opportunity to request customized reports. Similar customized market intelligence reports can cost thousands of dollars. Competing products will also be discussed.
Linda ODierno will present information on developing new, innovative marketing strategies that can help reduce costs and increase profits for small growers. E-marketing, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), niche marketing, product branding, exporting, and farmers markets will be discussed. Organizational structures that include vertical and horizontal integration (producer organizations), contract growing, and multi-level marketing will be covered. Product placement, pricing, and cost-effective distribution schemes will be emphasized.
Parking (at the structure of lower UH Manoa Campus), Coffee Breaks and Lunch are Free - provided RSVP to: firstname.lastname@example.com

The explosion of a gas line in Goshen weeks ago was a difficult situation made smoother with the close cooperation of Oldham County's emergency departments, an LG&E employee said.
Tom Reith, director of Gas Operations for LG&E, described the rupturing of a gas line in Goshen in September as a "tough situation" at a Local Emergency Planning Commission meeting held last week.
After being banned for roughly 15 years, chickens will once again be allowed in the city limits of La Grange.
The La Grange City Council voted 5-2 to pass an ordinance allowing chickens to be raised in the city limits, with councilmen Joe Davenport and Tad Humble voting no. Councilwoman Debbie Pollard was absent from the meeting.
A Louisville anesthesiologist is trying to be a true political contender when she runs against a Louisville Metro councilman for election to the 36th House District.
The 36th District was formerly a seat located in Eastern Kentucky, but the seat now makes up most of eastern Jefferson County and a portion of southwestern Oldham County, including Pewee Valley.
Voters in southwest Oldham County will choose between a fresh face with experience as a non-profit attorney and a former doctor and 22-year veteran of the Kentucky House of Representatives when they hit the voting booths this fall.
Thanks to redistricting, a handful of precincts in Briar Hill, Orchard Grass Hills and surrounding areas are now represented by House District 48, which encompasses mostly northeast Jefferson County.
A historic re-do of part of the courthouse square is already underway.
The Oldham County Fiscal Court approved the Courthouse Square Boulevard Project last week, including spending $107,000 out of the county's parks budget to complete the project.
The project will widen the current sidewalk closest to Main Street in downtown La Grange, as well as include brick pavers and new hardscape seating, County Judge-Executive David Voegele said.
After months of waiting for a monetary dispute with the state to be resolved, the Oldham County Fiscal Court is once again taking steps to build a new regional jail facility.
The dispute over whether the state will pay for engineer services for the new Oldham County Regional Detention Center is still unresolved, but that didn't stop magistrates from approving an architect and construction manager for the project.
The Republican focus for the 2014 general election was made abundantly clear at a regional GOP rally in Henry County over the weekend.
"The No. 1 priority is to keep Mitch McConnell in office, and not as minority leader, but as majority leader," said Kentucky State Senator Paul Hornback, of Shelbyville. "We've got to recover this country because it's not going in the right direction."
The La Grange City Council has amended its business licensing ordinance after the Kentucky Attorney General said some recent changes were out of line.
Months ago the council amended the ordinance to include attorneys or other businesses who did business within the city limits to apply for a license. At the time, city attorney Steve Emery said the law wasn't specifically targeted to attorneys but rather strengthening language already in place.
After weeks of debate, things could get a little fowl-minded at the next council meeting for the city of La Grange.
The council will take up two ordinances for possible passage, one allowing chickens in the city limits and the other codifying a rule about feeding geese at Wilborn Park.
The Oldham County Fiscal Court is joining five other county governments who were honored for their participation in Kentucky Connected, a public-private partnership focusing on education, transportation and economic development in the region.
The group received the 2014 Spirit of Kentucky award and was honored at the annual Governor's Local Issues Conference in Louisville last week. Gov. Steve Beshear and Department for Local Government Commissioner Tony Wilder presented the award.

~ ~ Pat Kirwan - NFL Insider
The 23 rookies likely to be starting by Week 1 of the NFL season
Eddie Lacy wasn't drafted in the first round, but he'll be starting in Green Bay by Week 1. (USATSI)
The NFL draft drew 20 million viewers on Thursday night for the first round, and fans around the world were excited to see the players selected for their favorite teams. I don't want to dampen the enthusiasm people have for the new injection of talent, but there is a reality check about the draft that has to be realized for this September.On opening day this fall, 704 players will be announced as starters in the NFL, excluding kickers and punters. How many of those starters will be rookies? If you look back at the draft classes of the past 10 years, there should be an expectation for 25-30 rookie starters, or about 3 to 4 percent of the opening day starters.
As a class of 254 drafted rookies (usually it is 256, but New Orleans lost a second-round pick for Bountygate and the Browns used their second in the supplemental draft last summer), my expectations have always been about 11-12 percent of the rookies drafted will be named starters for opening day. The truth is it will take time for the draft picks that we all got excited about last weekend to actually make an impact in the NFL.I talked with a number of front-office executives and coaches since the draft, and they agree that this looks like a normal year with a typical number of rookies working their way to the starting lineup for Week 1. As I look at this class, I do see 25-30 rookie starters.
I loved the Vikings' draft, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that all three first-round picks are in the starting lineup opening day. Keep in mind there will be a number of veterans signed between now and then, and that will only reduce the number of rookie starters. Rookie offensive linemen should dominate the rookie starters with 11 getting the call to start from the beginning.Here's a look at the 23 players whom I think get their name called to take the field from the beginning of the season and the seven players battling to make it to opening day. Usually, defensive players get to the starting lineup a little bit earlier because the learning isn't as complicated as the offense.
1. Eric Fisher, OT, Chiefs: Steven Baker can't beat him out.
2. Luke Joeckel, OT, Jaguars: Jacksonville will move Eugene Monroe to the right side.
3. Lane Johnson, OT, Eagles: Matt Kopa will not beat him out.
4. Jonathan Cooper, OG, Cardinals: This spot is wide open.
5. D.J. Fluker, OT, Chargers: Michael Harris will not challenge him.
6. Chance Warmack, OG, Titans: No one on the roster will compete.
7. Brian Winters, OG, Jets: Vladimir Ducasse looks like a bust.
8. Larry Warford, OG, Lions: Bill Nagy will lose the battle to start.
9. Eddie Lacy, RB, Packers: It's time for a change, and James Starks will lose out.
10. DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Texans: Houston got rid of the potential competition over the past two years.
11. Tavon Austin, WR, Rams: Austin Pettis had his chance.
1. Kevin Minter, LB, Cardinals: Daryl Washington suspended for four games.
2. Des Trufant, CB, Falcons: No one will challenge him.
3. Arthur Brown, LB, Ravens: Rolando McClain might not make it to September with his off-field issues.
4. Kiko Alonso, LB, Bills: Kelvin Sheppard is gone, and GM Buddy Nix says Alonzo is a three-down player.
5. Star Lotulelei, DT, Panthers: All he has to do is beat out Sione Fua.
6. Barkevious Mingo, DE, Browns: Cleveland might wind up trading Jabaal Sheard or moving him to DE.
7. Ziggy Ansah, DE, Lions: There is no competition.
8. Darius Slay, CB, Lions: Bill Bentley is coming back from injury and doesn't have the talent of Slay.
9. Bjoern Werner, DE, Colts: Erik Walden is a career backup.
10. Manti Te'o, Chargers, LB : Jonas Mouton is a backup.
11. Eric Reid, FS, 49ers: Craig Dahl will do his best to hold him off but should fade late in the summer:
12. Alec Ogletree, ILB, Rams: There doesn't appear to be any competition.
For cornerback Dee Milliner of the Jets, it comes down to Kyle Wilson battling him this summer. Also, cornerback Xavier Rhodes should beat out A.J. Jefferson for the Vikings, cornerback Leon McFadden of the Browns has to prove he's better than Buster Skrine, and safety T.J. McDonald might be better than Rodney McLeod, but the Rams might still sign a veteran if both don't have a solid camp.Free safety Matt Elam will get every chance to take Ed Reed's spot on the Ravens, but he wouldn't be the first late first-round safety to take some time to get on the field. Guys like defensive end Dion Jordan (Dolphins) will probably get situational work to start their careers kind of like Aldon Smith had when he first came into the league -- he didn't start a game but did have 14 sacks.
Finally, by the end of the season, 60 rookies should be in starting lineups and a lot more contributing, but don't think for a minute many of these young men will be ready the first week or that the veterans are going to surrender their positions.

I love where you are going with this, but your discussion of Alistair has wandered off and this thread is for discussing Alistair. If you like (and I highly encourage you to do so) take this discussion of Irina to her thread.
Sadly, I am one of "those" that are refusing to read The Unmentionable Manuscript in hopes that it will speed up it's completion. So, I can't quite relate...I can only relate to the mating of vampires through Bella's eyes in her newborn experience with Edward - which as we know is quite unique. Therefore, I am unsure of whether or not Alistair had a mate. I would say it makes his story more tragic if he is living without his mate...but then again, it could be fascinating if he hasn't mated and was only wary due to some sort of vampire wars ended by Volturri justice.

Submission + - Buttons Morph Out Of Your Touchscreen With Tactus (singularityhub.com)
kkleiner writes: "Wouldn't it be awesome if our tablets and smartphones could have buttons that morphed out of the touchscreen, and then went away again when we didn't need them? It sounds like magic, but now it is reality. Created by Tactus Technology, a Fremont, California-based start-up, Tactus is a deformable layer that sits on top of a touchscreen sensor and display. The company is demonstrating the Tactile Layer publicly today for the first time at the Society For Information Display's 'Display Week' in Boston."

Hello Kitty: Fabulous Feline, International Icon… Next Commander in Chief?
The cat's out of the bag and she's running for president. Can you really say you were surprised at this piece of news?
-Diana Denza
No matter who you are, election season is undeniably important. But sometimes, you simply need a break from your Facebook friends' political rants and your grandfather's inappropriate dinner table discussions.
Enter Hello Kitty! Boasting a whopping 10 million Facebook fans (that's more than Republican candidate Mitt Romney!), this pretty kitty is ready to rumble. And she'll do it with an oversized bow atop her head, of course.
Read KISS + Hello Kitty Rock Out In a Must-Have Fashion Collab!
"Hello Kitty has embodied positivity for almost 40 years and inspires millions of fans worldwide," Jill Koch, Senior Vice President of Brand Management and Marketing, Sanrio, Inc., stated in a press release. "This campaign is a celebration of what she represents: friendship, fun and happiness."
This October, Washington DC residents can look forward to Hello Kitty's Friendship Party street teams and door-to-door canvassers, who will hand out Hello Kitty bumper stickers, buttons, and yard signs. You can expect this fashion forward feline to show off her spirit in red, white, and blue.
Lucky capital city slickers should also keep their cat eyes peeled for the opening of Hello Kitty's Campaign Headquarters. It'll be stationed at LivingSocial's 918 F Street venue during the week of November 1. Expect kitty-riffic events, an art show, collectible products, and more. Best of all, Sanrio and Hello Kitty will team up with 826DC to help local kids hone their creative writing skills.
Not in DC? Vote for Hello Kitty's running mate on Facebook, go to Sanrio.com for campaign-themed gift with purchases, or head on over to a local Sanrio store during the week of October 19 for a free button. We don't usually endorse presidential candidates, but we're totally behind this kitty's bid!
