This, but in a strange way, reading your POV made sense. I want to both travel and find a new place.

WOAH. As of 3:14pm I just randomly remembered that my dream last night involved (1) my ex-booty call guy, and (2) my incarcerated dude from Hannah's prison penpal matchmaking service. Wtf.
Courtney, are you still corresponding with the incarcerated dude?
I used to read people their Tarot cards in Europe for spare change to eat when I was traveling by myself. They didn't know what the hell I was talking about, but I know I changed lives. :winkiss
Thanks Bunz. That about summarizes it. Why that one versus anything else is beyond me.
I dreamt that I was following Martin Gore from Depeche Mode around. I think I was trying to figure out some way I could deliver a sub sandwich to his apartment (why he had an apartment , I don't know) as a pretext to meet him. I remember Martin Gore being very private and annoyed with other fans who were bothering him (in my dream). Random.
I've had the same dream 3 nights in a row where I am hanging out with my ex. I don't remember what we talk about but I always wake up very melancholy.
Dreamt last night night that my family had told me that i was to be sent to prison for 4 years! Pleaded, and cried for a way out, but they said it would be alright. Very fucking weird.
Amy, you seem to have a lot of dreams about famous musicians.
Mo, I think your dream is pretty straight forward.
Nyar, are you feeling suffocated or restrained by your family?
At times, yeah. It feels like I have no privacy, especially living rather close to them. guess its time to start looking for new horizons!
So last night's dream was rather odd and depressing:
Dreamt I was in a giant hospital, and me and my team of professionals were called in to exorcism this demon/entity that was inhabiting the place. the damn thing wouldn't die, and the dream felt so shitty.
That is all.
I dreamt that there was a flooded river, my kids and I tried to cross it and my daughter got caught in the rapids and drowned. We found her floating and were trying to revive her. I woke up and don't know if we succeeded. I woke up scared and had to text her to make sure she was ok, I am sure she loves those 4 am texts.
Both of those dreams sound terrible.
Last night one of my dreams took place at Amyz and Jacob's wedding. TomAz gave a toast at the reception. And then I started trying to recruit guests to help with harvest on my organic farm.
Lena Dunham was a disgruntled employee in a linens store where I was trying to buy a striped duvet cover. Except she looked like Diablo Cody.
I went to Rick and Jen's house for what I thought was a beer drinking hang out session and discovered that they had a full wall dedicated to memorabilia of Roseanne and Rick was insistent that I put on this hat that DJ wore in one episode and I was like WHAT IS GOING ON and then Jen informed me that she was the campaign manager for Roseanne Barr's bid for the President of the United States.
Whoa. I had a dream about Rick and Jen too! Jen was a new cast member on Mad Men, and Rick did something too, but I can't remember what it was now. I think we were celebrating at a restaurant that had a free food buffet during happy hour. And all this may have been happening in San Francisco.
You guys all seem very interested in other people's lives.
I've had two weird experiences with dreams lately.
The first was a few weeks ago where I had a terrible nightmare about being chased by wolves. I would wake up, but every time I would fall back to sleep I'd go back to the same path. It happened several times in one night. I even got out of bed and ate something and when I went back to sleep there I was running, frantic again. Occasionally the path would change slightly, or there might be someone else running with me, or the wolves would be closer or further away. I refused to go back to sleep after I dreamt about my daughter and I, alone, trying desperately to run from the wolves.
The second weird can't get out of the same dream drama I had this morning. I couldn't go back to sleep after it so I got up and decided to check in here. I will use very little detail on purpose.
I dreamt that I was an assassin. I was given my target and was told vehemently that my special skills would be the key to the success of the mission. I had no fucking idea what my "special" skills were, but I begin to quickly figure them out when they fitted me into this special suit. Apparently it was designed to stimulate you and keep you aroused constantly, but it would take human touch to make me come. I would have to make sure that my target's face was in or near certain specific places when I came so that the poison could be released and inhaled or ingested properly.
You can imagine where this might be going . . . The dream isn't the weird part.
I woke up to myself completely aroused to the point where I HAD to finish. I didn't want to wake my husband up because he drove all day yesterday and he has to work in the morning, so I tip toe out to the front room. I decide to just lie down on the middle of the floor because I'm a bit disoriented. When I lie down, I fall back to sleep and this time I wake up to myself coming. Mission accomplished. :p
This time I want to go back to sleep, but now I can't.
Oh wow. That is some intense shit. Maybe you need to get it on with hubby more often? Just my thoughts, even though I know you didn't ask.
So last night, I dreamt I was in my dead G-ma's house in her room, and I was trying to sleep in there, but there was what felt like a very demonic or evil entity in there. So, I grabbed some holy water, said a prayer and blessed the room. Afterwards, I was able to relax in that room. Maybe I should look into becoming a exorcist?
I'd sell that dream to a porn producer somewhere pronto. That's the closest a woman your age has come to arousing me in a long time.
Nyalar, did you spend a lot of time with your grandma?
RSW, do you have any names? I remember every detail.
Sure, I'll get you his email address. You might notice it looks a lot like my name, but don't worry about that.
No, I'd say it has to do with you still having some demons from your time with her that you have to work through.
That's just my job.

Devin Uskoski had 20 points and 24 rebounds, and Rocky Mountain College won its first national championship in any sport by beating Columbia College 77-61 in the NAIA title game Tuesday night.
A liberal arts school of 800 from Billings, Mont., Rocky Mountain (31-7) picked apart Columbia's defense to build a 19-point halftime lead and never let up, shooting 50 percent to turn the first NAIA championship between unseeded teams into a rout.
Nate Richardson, Rocky's 5-foot-5 point guard, darted and dashed his way through Columbia's defense, scoring most of his 14 points on a variety of high-arching floaters and runners in the lane. Chase Sukut provided the perimeter support for Uskoski with 11 points and James Bulluck also had 11 for the Bears, the fourth unseeded team in six years to win the NAIA title.
Christian Lewis had 24 points on 10-of-14 shooting and Brett Hoskins added 13 for Columbia (27-10) in its first NAIA title game.
The Cougars, who play in the shadow of the University of Missouri, couldn't get into a rhythm offensively against Rocky's aggressive man defense and had even more trouble on defense to fall into a big hole early.
Twice in the first half, Columbia coach Bob Burchard sent in five players off the bench, though not as punishment for the starters. Burchard came up with the pull-em-all strategy after a 77-60 loss to William Woods on Jan. 22 and the Cougars responded by winning 17 of 18, including four straight in the NAIA tournament.
It didn't matter what Columbia did this time.
Working through Uskoski in the post, Rocky made it look easy against Columbia's zone, pushing a five-point lead to 28-17 after Burchard's first mass substitution. The Bears led by 10 when Burchard made the switch again with 4 1/2 minutes left and Uskoski quickly responded with a three-point play, kicking off a closing 12-3 run that put Columbia up 45-24 at the half.
Rocky kept pushing after the break, overcoming a short Columbia run to extend the lead to 62-33 when Uskoski scored on a putback while falling to floor with 12 1/2 minutes left.
Uskoski, Rocky's leading scorer and rebounder, bulled his way past Columbia's defenders all night, getting 13 points and nine rebounds by halftime and finishing 9-for-14 from the floor overall.
Once it was over, he helped lead the celebration at midcourt, hugging and high-fiving his teammates as streamers filled the air before being named tournament MVP.

saturday morning... engines are slow to start up
here it is saturday morning
I woke disoriented not realizing it was saturday morning
thinking that it was a workday for the adults and a schoolday for the kids
at my first utterance my wife corrected me
I made an immediate adjustment and climbed back into bed
it was too late the day was already starting
so I did my usual morning routine of listening to the house stir around me
as I tried to steal a few more minutes of sleep
first five year old dean climbed into bed
but he was too chatty to sleep
then brutus the dog climbed in... but he too was too awake to fall back asleep
but I enjoyed their morning greetings just the same
lisa prepped for yoga
I got up and put in a movie for the boys, monster house
I walked the dog for just enough time to poop and pee
then returned home to free lisa up for a saturday morning yoga session
normally we do a back to back husband and wife yoga class on saturday mornings
lisa going to the advanced ashtanga class
then I show up as she walks out of class
passing off the car with the kids
getting her keys and rushing into the beginner's ashtanga class
but... this morning has a scheduling conflict
dean has a friend coming over
no yoga for daddy
which is fine...
as this frees me up for the Bernie lead class in Adams Morgan on Sunday
will I be able to handle the kid's playdate and the Alleycat Race?
wanted to bring the boys to the Brunch/Race with their bikes
all this talk about what might happen
when the day is coming at me like an avalanche
my head hurts from too much red wine
the coffee is starting to level things off
but still feels like my head is in a vise
at least I had the wisdom to shut off the television and go to bed last night
put in the original PLANET OF THE APES
was loving the slow pace of a classic epic
but realized that I needed to sleep more than I needed to see this film for the 75th time
ah... Nova
Zira is not bad... if you go for the intellectual type
Nova is darn near perfect

Summer is Here! Central Library will close at 6 pm on Thursdays and will be closed Sundays until September. Enjoy!
Log in
There are lots of fun things to do at Kalamazoo Public Library locations during Spring Break. If you're at the Central Library and want to borrow child/family movies and music, come to the Children's Room. That's where those materials are now located. Maybe you've been wondering what those lullabye renditions of Michael Jackson music sound like. Or maybe it's time to see how Danny Devito voiced The Lorax. Or revisit that beautiful Carl and Ellie sequence from Up. You'll find something that you'll enjoy in this collection and you'll be able to check it out at the kiosk in the Children's Room, too. And while you'll be able to find Dr. Seuss books in the Children's Room, you'll want to go to the lower level to find Thriller and The Wiz. You'll find lots of movie musicals and documentaries that make great family viewing in the lower level, too!

Hello ladies!
Just a quick update regarding the blog sale that I left up – I've been getting requests though regularly, but at the moment I am too busy to organise sales because as time goes on and people buy stuff, I forget to knock them off the master list so in order to see if I still have something, I need to go through the 'big box', and physically look for it.
This can take ages especially if its something like a pencil in a huge box!
Having said that I am overdue another big clear out. Now that my time is really limited I want to – need to – streamline my collection so that means getting rid of some beautiful palettes I love looking at but never use like my Jill Stuart palettes, limited editions I bought to collect but never use, and some base products too (geez…I am addicted to buying foundations!).
So keep your eyes peeled! I'd like to get a end of year blog sale up but we'll see…these things have a habit of taking a while to organise and it's already October!

We are three times ahead of where we were last year in terms of leases signed! Many international students, and students throughout the USA are leasing right on the web without ever coming on-site for a tour, with the only really different marketing product we have introduced is the Show My Property TV video.
Having a person on-screen makes the video more 'real'
One of the company's videos received over 500 views in 10 days", says Regional Marketing Director Sara Lindsey. Lindsey says that these hosted videos get more views than other professional videos and the "amateur" videos that the staff creates.
"Having a person on-screen makes the video more 'real' and helps to engage prospects," Lindsey says. She says Asset Campus Housing has used a host on two of the 10 communities in which she markets. She anticipates more of her communities adding the host feature next year.
Crucial in today's digital atmosphere
SMP created 140 property tour videos for us in just ten weeks. Video allows us to first connect with our audience online and provide them with the opportunity to tour our communities from anywhere 24/7, which is crucial in today's digital atmosphere.

2012 turned out to be the blockbuster political year for North Carolina that had been predicted. But details weren't as some had anticipated.
The Democratic National Convention came to Charlotte in September, marking the first-ever major-party national convention in the state. But North Carolina was the only battleground state President Barack Obama lost on Election Day after he won the state in 2008.
Supporters of a proposed constitutional amendment banning gay marriage won a May referendum by 22 percentage points, even as opponents called the vote a bellwether on gay rights nationally.
Pat McCrory became the first Republican elected governor in 24 years in November, but he didn't run against Democratic incumbent Beverly Perdue. She surprised the state by announcing in January she wouldn't seek re-election.

Ocala Star-Banner
December 15, 1977
The boys and girls over at NBC are an awfully wily bunch.
As we reported two weeks ago, the characters of Amy and Austin Cushing arrived on the network's top-rated soaper, ANOTHER WORLD, in advance of last week's FOR RICHER, FOR POORER debut. If AW's audience was sufficiently intrigued by the Cushing characters, it was hoped that the audience would follow their exploits from AW's Bay City to FR, FP's Point Claire.
To further insure a sizeable audience crossover from one show to the other, most popular character, AW's most popular character, Rachel Cory, traveled with Amy and Austin to the new show. Rachel estanged husband, Mac, followed shortly after. And if viewers want to pursue the story trail of an anticipated reconcilliation between Mac and Rachel, they will have to do likewise. That's sneaky but it's also brilliant programming - hopefully.
A few new FR, FP actors have taken over roles played by others in the show's initial stanza which was known as LOVERS AND FRIENDS last winter. Darlene Parks took over hte role of heroine Megan from L&F's Patricia Estrin, who's now on AW as Joan Barnard. Hero Rhett Saxton has had a name change to Bill and a change of actors from David Ramsey to Tom Happer. Cynthia Bostick inherited the role of conniving Connie from Susan Foster, while Albert Stratton has assumeed John Heffernan's role of Lester Saxton. Nancy Marchand is costarring in night-time's LOU GRANT series, so the role of Edith Cushing is now played by Laurinda Barrett. Original L&F players who are continuing in FR, FP include Rod Arrants (Austin), Richard Backus (Jason), Christine Jones (Amy), Stephen Joyce (George) and Floral Plumb (Eleanor).
Another asset to FR, FP is Patricia Barry as Viola Brewster. Ms. Barry was one of the most popular actresses on daytime TV when she portrayed Addie Williams on DAYS OF OUR LIVES three years ago. So immense was her fan following that the writers were forced to give her character a last-minute remission from a supposedly incurable illness after the studio was flooded by irate callers. Addie was married to Doug, who sired Addie's menopause baby, Hope. Addie's reprieve was short-lived, however. The writers wrought their revenge by having poor Addie run down in the middle of a street by a Mack truck. Doug later married his step-daughter, Julie, thereby keeping it all in the family.
Ms. Barry's own life reads like a soap opera. Her ancesters were Iowa farmers and her father became a prominent surgeon in Davenport. By the time she met her husband, Philip Barry, Jr., she had garnered Broadway accolades. Philip, Sr., of course, aws the renowned playwright, best-known for "The Philadelphia Story." In his youth, Philip, Jr. romped around the world with his socialite parents whose charmed circle of friends include F. Scott Fitzgerald and the Hemingways.
Patricia assumed the mantle of her movie producer husband's jet-and-yacht-set ancestry. Although she's now in New York, working out of FR, FP's Brooklyn studio, she still maintains the family's columned, many servanted, multi-car garaged Beverly Hills mansion.
In addition to her aristocratic lifestyle, Patricia has done charity chores for the John Tracy Clinic for deaf children.

Norwegian Espen Kofstad finished eagle, birdie, par to claim his maiden Challenge Tour victory in the Doubletree by Hilton Acaya Open, edging out Joachim Hansen of Denmark at the last hole.
A superb five under par 65 took the 24 year old to nine under, but he was helped by Hansen's bogey at the 18th, when he failed to get up and down from the rough at the back of the green.
Until those last three holes, it had looked to be Hansen's day, the Dane carding four birdies and an eagle – at the first hole, which was a whisker away from being an albatross – but Kofstad turned it around in sublime style.
He drained a 40-footer at the 17th to tie with Hansen at the top of the leaderboard, and showed nerves of steel to hole out on the last for par after the Dane bogeyed.
"I'm so excited I'm shaking like a leaf," said Kofstad. "I'm buzzing. It's so great to win. The shots just came off all day and I'm so proud of the way I played, as I've never been in the lead in a final round before.
"I had a lucky bounce on the 16th with my second shot and it went to within three feet of the pin, and then I made the putt across the green from the left edge on the 17th. That was unreal.
"I had a feeling it might be my day when I holed the bunker shot on the first, but then Joachim was playing amazingly well and flushing every shot. He was unlucky hitting it long on the last and it's tough to see a fellow pro do that. I was fully expecting a play-off. It's unfortunate for him, but he's played unbelievably all week.
"That putt on the 17th was definitely the highlight of the day. It just magically dropped and there were quite a few people watching who went crazy.
"I'm going to try and play as much as I can in the next few weeks, while I'm playing well. There's no point taking time off if I'm in this form, I've just got to keep going.
"The goal for the season was always to finish in the top 15 in the Rankings, so this will obviously help a lot in achieving that."
Hansen, 21, has been in fine form of late, making the cut in his last four appearances before this week and finishing no worse than 28th from those. He was bitterly disappointed not to have at least gone into a play-off, but credited Kofstad's final charge.
"I'm so disappointed with the last hole," he said. "I knew Espen was playing well and I couldn't think of victory, but to make bogey on the last is extremely tough to take. Well played to Espen, though. He played so well all day and to finish like that was unbelievable.
Finland's Roope Kakko took third place with a final round 68, it was a productive day for Englishmen Matthew Southgate (65) and Lloyd Kennedy (64) to finish fourth and fifth respectively.

O Cirque du Soleil oferece kits para a imprensa de vários espetáculos e informações sobre a empresa.
Tudo começou em Baie-Saint-Paul, uma pequena cidade próxima a Quebec City, no Canadá. Ali, no início dos anos 80, um grupo de personagens coloridos perambulava pelas ruas, caminhando sobre pernas-de-pau, fazendo malabarismos, dançando, engolindo fogo e tocando músicas. Eles eram os Les Échassiers de Baie-Saint-Paul (os Equilibristas de pernas-de-pau de Baie-Saint-Paul), um grupo teatral fundado por Gilles Ste-Croix. Os habitantes da cidade ficaram impressionados e fascinados com os jovens artistas, incluindo Guy Laliberté, que, mais tarde, fundaria o Cirque du Soleil e ali atuaria como CEO.
When Erich first heard Great Balls of Fire by Jerry Lee Lewis at the age of 15 he was blown away by the rock legend's fiery piano playing and got interested in the roots of rock and roll. He later studied with renowned Canadian pianists to broaden his musical horizons and deepen his knowledge of music history.
Erich was soon working as a freelance musician on stage, studio and television projects for many of the top award-winning artists in Quebec pop music. He found himself on stage in European and Japanese festivals as well as big events closer to home such as the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal and the Quebec Summer Festival. His performances with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra at Place des Arts in Montreal are a highlight of his career.
Over the years Erich accumulated an impressive track record of original music and began to record. He took on a dozen writing and production projects, each very different from the next, and his expertise led him to create advertising jingles in the United States and the theme song for Canadian Football League team. He has been nominated for and won awards from the Association québécoise de l'industrie du disque (ADISQ) and the Indie Awards held in Toronto.
Erich loves the myriad undertones of soul and always comes back to gospel music, funk and rhythm and blues – the roots of Presley's own music. Viva ELVIS is his first association with Cirque du Soleil.
"The leitmotif that guided me throughout the entire creative process was to ask myself, 'what would the songs of Elvis be like if he were doing them for the first time today?'" he says. "I set out to evoke the soul and the spirit of Elvis Presley, while building a bridge between his music and future generations of fans."
Erich van Tourneau was born in Montreal in 1973.

MedQuest Introduces Vermont High School Students to Health Care Careers
- 07-09-2014
- By Erin E Post
High school students from across the state of Vermont are getting a head start on exploring health care careers thanks to the MedQuest program and 16 University of Vermont College of Medicine students who are serving as assistant directors.
Sponsored by the UVM Office of Primary Care and the Area Health Education Centers (AHEC), MedQuest is a college campus-based experience that invites students to dive into the health care field while getting used to a college setting. This year, 100 students have participated in one-week programs organized by the three Vermont AHEC locations: Champlain Valley in St. Albans, which serves Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle counties; Southern Vermont in Springfield, which covers Windham, Windsor, Bennington, and Rutland counties; and Northeastern Vermont in St. Johnsbury, serving Caledonia, Essex, Orleans, Lamoille, Washington and Orange counties. Twenty additional students participated in Advanced MedQuest June 15-20, which is geared towards students who have previously participated in a MedQuest week and are seeking additional experience.
Medical students serve as assistant directors at all of the locations; this year, three College of Medicine students and one nurse practitioner student – Katie Colelli '17, Andy Liu '17, Kathryn Wang '17 and Jessica Morrison – hosted two different MedQuest groups on the UVM campus through the Champlain Valley AHEC.
MedQuest participants live on campus in dorms, complete job shadows and a range of workshops, and come away from the week with insight into health career options as well as leadership experience and new problem solving skills.
"Each of the programs are a little different, as resources and student interests vary," says Jessica Barrow, Champlain Valley AHEC Health Careers Educator. "This year at Champlain Valley AHEC MedQuest we have incorporated a pharmacy workshop in partnership with [Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences]. We have also added a dental workshop during which the students experience the dental simulator, interact with dental professionals, and have lab experience."
And there are learning opportunities for medical students as well: They hone their teaching skills and make connections with students who are eager for mentors.
Katie Colelli '17 says it is exciting to see students expand their horizons over the course of the week. "A lot of them come in with what they want to do [for a career] set," she says. "Then some of them go on the job shadow and realize it isn't for them." Some learn about entirely new occupations – like physical therapist or pharmacist – that they had not considered. These moments of discovery can be exciting for both the students and the counselors.
"It's so much fun when they come back [from a job shadow] and they can't stop talking about it," Colelli laughs.
Katherine Wang '17 says she appreciates the opportunity "to be part of that journey" as students start thinking about life after high school, and in some cases leave home for a week for the first time.
"It's really cool that high schoolers get the chance to explore," she says. "There are so many options."
It's also a chance to give back. Andy Liu '17 says opportunities he had to shadow doctors before deciding on medical school proved to be invaluable. Serving as a MedQuest leader is a way to "return the favor and spark some interest."
The assistant directors for the Champlain Valley AHEC MedQuest lead evening workshops, including one on basic medical skills where students learn how to take blood pressure, use a stethoscope, check for reflexes, and complete a basic abdominal exam. A different workshop mimics the effects of aging in preparation for a nursing home visit the next day. Students wear earplugs and then play a game of telephone to simulate hearing problems; they tape joints to feel what it's like to have arthritis or limited mobility. Other activities include CPR training, a visit with the Essex Rescue squad, a workshop in the pathology lab at the College of Medicine, and a screening of the documentary film "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Health Care." The last day features a "telemedicine surgery" hosted by Edward Borrazzo, M.D., UVM associate professor of surgery. Student watch the surgery live via videoconferencing in the Sullivan Classroom, and can ask questions at the end. The program culminates with a celebration that invites families to see what students have accomplished during the week.
Based at the UVM College of Medicine, the Vermont AHEC Program collaborates with partners across the state to improve access to health care through a focus on workforce development. This includes pipeline programs in health careers awareness and exploration for youth in communities across the state; support for and engagement of health professions students at the University of Vermont and residents at Fletcher Allen Health Care; and programs designed to recruit and retain the healthcare workforce in Vermont.

We've all experienced the agonising wait for feedback, whether it's for exam grades, news from a job interview, or results from a grant application.

I recall a few good friends on the 88-92 teams who were on the OL and had Hanlon as their coach, and they were petrified of him.
Boren, Lost Linemen, and a Staff to be Proud of
I was asked to repost this from the MGoBoard. I added a few things (in Bold) so enjoy the read.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Having had breakfast with Coach Frey and "BIG" Dusty earlier in the year he wrapped up the Boren situation in a very easy way.
1. Boren wanted to go home whenever he need to help his dad with his snow plow business. He abused that excuse.
2. He had always wanted to go to Ohio State to be closer to home and his dad bribed him to go to Michigan, hoping he would grow to love it.
3. He wanted to do "his workout not Mike's"
4. He just simply "hated to run". Coach Frey jokingly told the linemen they had to run sprints at the end of practice before a holiday break (I think Easter Break). The intent was to have them line up and then surprise them with "I'm just kidding you don't have to run any sprints today". Instead of lining up Boren walked out of practice.
5. Even with all of that the staff wanted to make it work and get him on board...there is no doubt he is a talented player. After he left practice before the sprints Coach Frey confronted him about his actions. Even though he hated running he admitted that he was in the best shape of his life from Barwis "forcing" him to workout. Why the staff finally quit on him was when he talked about the new guys being "scrubs". By "new guys" I mean the current linemen not the new recruits.
If this is all true and I believe every word of it...then it really gives me a new level of respect for the way the staff handled it in the media...they could have trashed this kid but decided to concentrate on the players they were working with currently...can you imagine Lane Kiffen taking the high road like this?
Players like Boren are not good for a program no matter what culture it is...I'm glad the coaches now weed out these guys that would have coasted during the Carr years.
I'm not saying Wermers or O'niell is that guy but having talked to most of the staff and having watched a half dozen practices up close I will tell you this...Coach Frey is a really nice guy to sit and talk with socially, he will talk to you about anything in the papers about the program, he is straight forward and will give you "real answers". That being said he does not even begin to take one ounce of shit from his players. He teaches very aggressively and that's just his style. I can see why guys who don't want to work or don't fit in want to leave on the offensive line. He is much more vocal and demanding then a guy like Coach Jackson...you could probably go four years without him ever taking your head off the way Coach Frey will.
In football no matter the level you have to build a foundation. Sometimes the best laid foundations come from subtracting materials instead of adding them. I truly believe Boren is a good player, I also believe that if we would of had a strong senior class last season he would have straightened out over time and been a strong player. Since we had little senior leadership a guy like Boren...or O'neill...or Wermers can become a cancer to young a team and effect them for years. That attitude must be wiped out from a team that is struggling. It's hard enough to turnaround a struggling program without having to pull guys who don't want to go. Coach Rodriguez has said many times before that when you lose you have two options...New Players or New Coaches. I'm glad to see its the players that are going (besides Shafer) and not this staff. I really believe these are the guys to take UofM to the next level.
"Hold the Rope"
oh, and by the way, Boren's father Mike should have put a lid on his kid's mouth... it's disappointing.
All Michigan Men unite and hold that soap! It can get a bit slippery in the shower, and you can't hold it too tightly or it will shoot out like a booger from a sneeze.
Seriously, people, forget about Boren.
potato salad.
Yeah, I work with Corey Zirbel's GF and he comes in all the time and hangs out with us. He was his roommate their Freshman and Sophomore years and he said that Boren was very anti-social and was home every weekend during the off seasons. He also said that Boren's dad bought him a brand new boat for going to Michigan so there's the bribe part. It was interesting to see how little he cared about Boren leaving, being his roommate/ housemate and all.
yeah the boat was the bribe. At least thats what was said.
If points 1-5 contain even an ounce of truth, then Boren should feel damn lucky none of this was made public by the coaching staff. This was clearly an addition by subtraction and I can't wait to see Martin and Big Will bitch smack him this November!
Before he transferred, he was singled out by both Barwis and Rodriguez for being the hardest worker on the team thus far in Spring Practice. He likely transferred because he didn't like Rodriguez, or Michigan, and his family was upset his brother wasn't offered. Not because he couldn't hack it. If you think OSU has a cream-puff S&C program, you're fooling yourself.
So all these other players and his position coach are lying? Spring practice isn't off season conditioning...maybe they were trying to give him some encouragement. I think if anybody is being fooled, it's you.
The coaches themselves said he was their hardest worker.
Do you think that at Ohio State they sit around and have Mai Tai's all day? That's how they're kicking our ass? He left because his family was upset about his brother.
What I read was a direct quote from Barwis and Rodriguez, to Rivals. What you're reading is a wannabe insider on a message board.
Rivals...journalism at its best. You got me there!
Nobody said OSU S&C was easy, but do you know for a fact that they make lineman run a lot like Barwis?
Calling A_Maize_Zing a "wannabe insider"...not cool.
really? A wanna be insider?
I'm going to go cry all by myself now... I would suggest if thats how you view this, then to not read my post...I tend to type a lot and it seems like a lot of effort to read all of it for so little benefit to yourself.
Just a suggestion
1. In 142 posts, you've never once suggested that you have access to people.
2. You blow sunshine that people want to hear - that's why they believe you.
3. You blithely talk about how you had lunch breakfast with Frey without attempting to detail how you come by that access.
Color me skeptical.
I would just read my post...the answers are there. I don't have access to people on a regular basis.
How am I blowing sunshine? People who know the situation believe me because it reflects what they have already heard and it checks out. Again I was sharing what I was told, it made sense in the original post to bring this up. I didn't run back and say "HAY LOOK AT ME I TALKED TO A COACH AT MICHIGAN"...it really is not that big of a deal... I thought I would share some insight but stop acting like these guys are "Gods" and no one could get access. They are normal people and are actually like anyone else. Yes this came up at breakfast at Glazier Clinic in Mt. Pleasent. As well as talking about a charity golf event ran by one of the high school coaches and also how Frey lost 100 pounds on the Atkins diet after deciding he was too fat when someone called him to go party and he decided not to because he just ate a whole Pizza by himself and felt sick and tired... he's a nice normal guy who will talk to you about this shit in a social situation.
Also I have actually posted about being at Michigan and dealing with some of the coaches and support staff before so don't make a blanket statement like that without looking into it.
MgoObes stated that it had nothing to do with the younger Boren. So, there's that.
The Michigan coaches give Boren an outright release allowing him to go to OSU and he thanks them by setting the bridge ablaze as he leaves. That should be all anyone needs to know about the situation.
At no point did I say Boren wasn't an asshole. I'm saying he's not leaving because he was afraid of working. I guarantee you that OSU conditioning isn't "easy".
His brother never came up in the conversation.
1. Frey is a position coach who probalby would not have talked about this with Boren anyway.
2. Frey doesn't recruit the state of Ohio. So why even bring up your brother to him.
3. I could be wrong but we still could have offered his brother at the time he left in March. Fred Jackson took Zach around campus and wanted him to commit to Michigan as a fullback.
In the end I think Rich Rod decided to not offer after this qoute from Zach..before the process ended
"Yeah, I mean, a lot of the schools that are recruiting me just come in and ask my coach if it's just Michigan or Ohio State. But right now, I'm actually leaning against Michigan. To tell you the truth, I think it would be cool, starting a different legacy with a Boren going to a different school, so I want to get out to as many schools as I can."
Why offer to a guy who wants to start a new Boren tradition somewhere else.
Justin may have worked...but it seems like only after he went kicking and screaming...Also as far as fitting in with Ohio States conditioning program, I'm sure he will, that doesn't mean he likes it or wants to do it...considering he is not on scholarship he better work or his ass will be gone.
Thank you for posting this. Your story and accounts of what Coach Fry said, certainly seem spot-on and jive well with other accounts of Boren's actions at Michigan (aka the snowplow leave of absences, the charity car wash incident etc)....
I also agree with you completely on how the staff has handled this very professionally.
Better to weed out kids like this one who can be cancerous to a program....and start fresh with players that are willing to work hard to improve.
is how some Bucknut fans seem to feel that Boren is going to become some kind of all-american, 1st round draft choice. I think he will do well, but some of the expectations on him are really quite ridiculous.
I'm sorry, but I don't know who A_Maize_Zing is or how he this access. Any help for the uninformed?
I am a lowly high school football coach. I end up at a lot of Michigan events from clinics, games and practices. Most clinics end the same way just sitting around with coaches drinking beer and talking about the coaches program.
This is really pretty basic and not at all special or out of the ordinary. The last two years Michigan has become much more open (compared to the Carr years...no suprise). College coaches never eat alone at these events because they want to cultivate relationships. I've got to hear some great stories from Coach Frey and Coach Hopson and I figured I would share one.
I am not in anyway an "insider" like Tom VH.
Was one of these events the coaching clinic, and were you by chance one of the coaches at the end trying to finish all the beer while some of the student workers drank with you? If so, awesome!
I was at the the last clinic but I had to drive home so I kept myself under control. I drank with Hopson for a little while.
Keep this on the down low...he chews with his mouth open...bad.... now that is inside information.
Thanks. I was just wondering because it seemed as though you were a known entity to everyone except me.
I guess the phrase "everybody's equal, though some are more equal than others" applied to Boren under Lloyd. Sounds like it changed rather quickly when the new staff arrived.
A Maize Zing, I like what you wrote. The kid really never wanted to be here in the first place, from what you are saying.
Anyway, we've got about six weeks until we start finding out some answers
We will surprise in 2009.
i can't believe that you are believing the lies that frey is saying about boren now to cover his ass.
1. boren did go home on weekends but never missed a practice or meeting & so was a non issue with rr.
2. the comment that justin never wanted to go to um is laughable at best. his whole life he spent loving um & had known bo from a baby. his years with carr and moeller are 2 of the best years of his life. oh sure his dad had to bribe him to go to um. what kind of crap is that?
3. justin loved barwis and barwis loved justin and named him the workout room warrier the 2 weeks in a row before justin left um.
4. justin didn't hate to run.....he wasn't able to run long distances as he had whats called compartment syndrome & he was to have surgery on both his calves the spring rr took over. the coaches all knew about this. by the way he just had this surgery done at osu this year so hes able to run long distances now without cramping up.
ok now your story about frey joking about running sprints.....part of that is true and frey was always making the players stay after practice and after every other coach & player left & made the linemen runs sprints till they dropped.
well at that point and time of freys so called joke which by the way was not going to be a joke till justin left the practice field. and justin left at that point in time because he was at his breaking point with frey & rr
he quit the team right after this episode.
5. barwis had to force justin to work out frey says??? are you kidding me!!!! frey is such a big lier. justin has always loved to work out and i explained this in # 3.
bottom line what frey didn't say to a maize zing is that hes a sexual pervert & every day all day long in meetings all he wanted to talk about to the players was how he screwed a girl the night before that he would have picked up in a bar and go into great details. plus he always had to talk at length about how he was an all american in high school and had to ride the bench in college and how he got screwed over etc.
so believe what you want about boren and others. but in borens case he couldn't continue having frey & rr as his coaches and perform up to his expectations.
and don't tell me in the future how great rr & frey were to never trash boren. they sure as hell did thru others who they got to do their dirty work.
as for rr giving justin his transfer papers......another lie. rr wouldn't give justin his release and held it up and told justin he could hold it up for years. justins dad had to go to martin & threaten a law suit if he didn't give justin his relase.
its so sad how all this came about and so sad for the boren family who loved um & everything it used to stand for.
And...you need to shut up, too. I just wish people wouldn't feel the need to spout every drop of "INSIDAH!" information that pops into their heads.
Justin played with only one kidney after donating the other to a third world child in need. Coach Frey used to punch and throw things at his lone kidney as a "joke".
Justin volunteered as a big brother. Once, when he left the kid at Schembechler hall, Frey and RR had bought the kid hookers and blow.
Frey is a known Holocaust denier. His plan to have all of the lineman get swastika tatoos was foiled only by a surprise visit by former kicker Hayden Epstein (who was tipped off by Justin).
Justin is a gym rat who runs ultramarathons for fun on the weekends. Frey would mock him saying "I play real sports, not trying to be the best at exercising".
Justin loved Michigan and still does. That Halloween picture was not a costume. He sits around his apartment in Columbus dressed like that.
On recruiting trips through Ohio, Frey has been known to literally shit on the Boren's lawn.
Justin was actually Bo's love child. RR hated that he was a link to the old regime and ran him off the team with all his "pussy" talk and other potty language.
The truth squad has more. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
If I may be so rude to ask, how are you privy to such details? And why are you defending a kid who trashed our program? The rest of the guys who have been interviewed in the press(Schilling, Omameh, Ortmann)have only said positive things about the new staff.
And while I am not a legal expert, I believe your assertion that CoachRod held up his transfer papers is rubbish. The school would be facing dire consequences from the NCAA over an infraction like that. U of M would never allow such a thing to happen.
Are you a Buckeye fan trolling here?
believe what you want to believe.....
i just wanted to let you know the truth as i am privy to things unknown to you......peace & goodbye
Hey truth squad, the self proclaimed possessor of truth:
Many of us on this site are life long, die hard UM fans. If for some reason we had a falling out with the current staff, the last thing we would do is start rooting for OSU. The Borens had plenty of options other than OSU...so save the "loving" UM crap.
The family values angle is also bull. Boren has already made a name for himself with OSU teammates: "Oh my God, he's a crazy dude," Gibson said. "It's good to have him over there because we're lining up and he's screaming and cussing and [stuff]." Saint Justin, eh?
Last, more than just Frey disputed Justin's whining to the media when he left...but I guess they're all wrong since you "are privy to things unknown" to us common folk.
The thing I remember Mike Boren saying was that he wasn't going to have his boys go to different schools, which led me to believe that Zach's not being offered was the biggest problem the family had with Michigan.
thats just a lie that was offered up after justin left um. zach had nothing to do with justin going to osu either. when justin left um he was devestated as was his whole family who bled maize & blue.
he was being bombarded by coaches calling his high school coach and offering justin. and zach had already gotten his offer at this time from osu just not commited. so thats why mike made that comment. it was a stupid comment mike made at the time but he was so upset and wasn"t thinking straight. he meant it for teams like ucla and other far away teams that were offering justin & he wanted to watch both boys play and he couldn't if justin was too far away. at that time i think mike knew justin was going to go to osu as it was the only other team justin had considered when he made his choice and he did really like tressel.
Ok. You don't get it both ways. You don't "bleed maize and blue" and then go to OSU.
You might have an affinity for UM because dad played there. You might like coach Carr. You may think the new coach is an asshole and want to leave. That's all good. You might be angry over the situation and blow off steam on the way out. Classless, but human and forgivable.
You might be a pragmatist and say "The style that Tressel plays is a good fit. I'll have good exposure to play on the next level. I'll be on a winning team that is close to home". Once again that is fine. Pragmatism is ok. No problem looking out for number one.
But you don't "bleed maize and blue". It is a stupid saying and if you truly had that level of love for an institution but couldn't play for its coach, you would find another option to continue to ply your craft.
So truth squad, you may have access to some insider info and be sympathetic. But spare me your sob stories for "Justin" and "Mike" and the whole Boren clan. I don't give a shit.
This thread is disturbing on several levels.
1) I don't like the allegations about Frey.
2) Some of the truth squad assertions could be true; I don't know.
3) Some of the OP assertions can be true, again, not clear.
4) Some of the posters seem to be slamming others saying things they don't want to hear.
5) On this last, are we willing and ready to hear truth about Michigan, regardless of whether we like it or not? We're willing to trash little brother and OSU and Alabama and Louisville and Memphis. If and when our coaches and our team do something out of line, I hope we are big enough to criticize their bad actions. It doesn't help to be someone who can dish it out but not take it. That's called a bully.
Innuendo and slander are not good. I don't like it against RR, but I also don't like it against Boren & Tressel et al.
I also think that sometimes, when we make mistakes, and are embarassed, we're glad not to have our names dragged through the mud. I think Boren made some mistakes in what he said when he left. But let it go. I do think it likely that the Boren family loved Michigan, and threads like this seem intent on bashing Boren and burning bridges further. Who does this help?
Agreed - I have problem with both the OP and the "truthsquad" posts, though they're polar opposites. In general, I don't put much stock in people that eagerly logon to a website for the purposes of passing off "insider" knowledge anonymously - especially with the intention of knocking people. I don't care if it's RR, Frey, Boren, or Tressel. It's bullshit. The fact is that we had 2 people doing it here - one said things the crowd wanted to hear, and the other said things they didn't want to hear. One got positive votes, one didn't. IMO, they're both bullshit.
A kid didn't like the new coaching staff and left. I don't see the need to demonize either party. Both posts seem very self serving. Give it a rest.
Post 1: "Coaches are awesome! Boren's a pussy who hates workouts!"
Post 2: "Coaches are perverts! Boren's a Saint!"
They're equally credible (ie: not). The difference is that one caters to the crowd.
Doesn't anyone remember the story about Bo sitting at the kitchen table with Justin and Mike when Justin was trying to decide, and Bo turned to Mike and said, "You're not going to let him go to Ohio State are you?
That story has always stuck in my craw and lends credence to the statement that Justin never wanted to go to UM in the first place.
Hey guys, I'm an insider. Rich Rod has a 19" cock and Tate looks like he's going to win the Heisman! I know all this because I ate breakfast with Rita's hairspray technician. Now LOVE ME GOD DAMMIT.
Her look is all-natural

IRVING, Texas (AP) DeMarco Murray and the Dallas Cowboys' running game have been stuck in neutral since an impressive start.
The unit that ran for 143 yards in a season-opening victory is now 29th in the NFL, averaging just 68 yards per game. And the only reason the Cowboys (2-2) are even that high is because of what they did against the New York Giants in that first game.
Coach Jason Garrett said Wednesday there are a lot of different reasons for the struggles, and that the Cowboys have to get better to be more balanced offensively.
``We've talked about some of the pre-snap penalties that got us in some bad situations in a couple of games. We had some minus runs and there are different reasons for that as well,'' Garrett said. ``Guys getting physically beaten up front or on the edges or wherever they need to be. We've played against some good run-defending teams, where there has been a lot of movement up front.''
Murray missed the final three games of his impressive rookie season with a broken right ankle, but came back healthy this year. There were also the additions of two veteran guards (Mackenzy Bernadeau and Nate Livings) providing more bulk up front and veteran fullback Lawrence Vickers.
Murray had 131 yards on 20 carries in the opener, the first time the restructured offensive line played together. Since then, he has just 106 yards on 41 carries. That includes two 11-yard carries, one for his only touchdown.
``Frankly, we haven't blocked as well as we need to and we haven't run as well as we need to,'' Garrett said.
Murray averaged 5.5 yards on his 164 carries last season, but is down to 3.9 yards per carry this year. Take out a 48-yard run against the Giants and his two 11-yard gains since, and he is averaging only 2.9 yards his other 58 rushing attempts.
Outside of Murray, the Cowboys have 18 rushing attempts for 34 yards.
``I do think we can be a good running team,'' tight end Jason Witten said. ``We became one-dimensional. It's not an excuse for it, you can't allow it to get away from you, you've got to be better early on.''
Not including end-of-game or end-of-half situations the last two games, Dallas had negative yards on eight first-down rushing carries and no gain on two other such attempts. There was one stretch against Tampa Bay when the Cowboys lost yards on five consecutive first-down runs.
`` We put ourselves in bad positions to where we couldn't be able to run the ball,'' Vickers said. ``We've got to eliminate the self-inflicted wounds so we can do the things we want to do with our offense.''
Garrett said penalties and negatives plays put the offense in the position of ``trying to survive the drive instead of thriving, attacking.''
Witten said the team has worked on the rushing game and that it was a ``big part'' of evaluations during the bye week.
Dallas plays Sunday at Baltimore, the first of four road games the next five weeks. The Ravens are coming off a 9-6 win at Kansas City, which ran 50 times for 214 yards against them. But these still are the defensive-dominant Ravens, who have won 13 consecutive home games.
``They play with a demeanor and a relentlessness that we're all familiar with,'' Garrett said. ``Kansas City did run the ball fairly well against them. They ran the ball a lot against them. Baltimore did a great job making the key plays when they needed to. Keeping that score down. ... They play great defense, they've always played great defense. We have our work cut out for us.''

Michael Abrash was previously known as one of the faces of Valve's VR initiative, having most recently spoken about the potential of VR tech during January's Steam Developer Days. Today, Abrash has announced his depature from Valve, having joined the team at Oculus VR as its Chief Scientist. The move reunites him with John Carmack, who he previously worked with on Doom and Quake, among other PC titles.
"It's great to be working with John [Carmack] again after all these years, and with that comes a sense of deja vu," Abrash wrote on the Oculus website. "It feels like it did when I went to Id, but on steroids – this time we're working on technology that will change not just computer gaming, but potentially how all of us interact with computers, information, and each other every day. I think it's going to be the biggest game-changer I've ever seen – and I've seen quite a lot over the last 57 years."
Abrash describes his path towards Oculus in great detail, discussing his time with the Oculus Rift prototype and generally praising the work of Carmack and company co-founder Palmer Luckey. He also addressed Facebook's recent acquisition of Oculus, touting it as a positive move that will only help move VR tech forward.
"Facebook's acquisition of Oculus means that VR is going to happen in all its glory," Abrash added. "The resources and long-term commitment that Facebook brings gives Oculus the runway it needs to solve the hard problems of VR – and some of them are hard indeed. I now fully expect to spend the rest of my career pushing VR as far ahead as I can."

With the Hurricanes preparing for the season finale Friday afternoon in chilly Pittsburgh we got our only chance on Monday to talk to players and coaches -- aside from Al Golden -- before the game.
> The big news of the day is that cornerbacks Corn Elder and Nate Dortch are lost for the season. Golden had told us Saturday after the win against Virginia both were significant injuries. He wouldn't elaborate more on Monday, but Elder tweeted that he had a small tear in his meniscus. He was spotted walking around campus on crutches and with his right leg in a large brace.
"Disappointed for both of them because both were really starting to come on and both would have benefitted greatly from the [bowl] preparation moving forward," Golden said. "I also feel badly for Corn because I know he was anxious to play basketball."
Could they be back in time for the spring? "It'll be a couple of months for both of them," Golden said. "I don't want to jump ahead. The doctor is going to see where it's at and hopefully what it is what we believe it is and it will be a couple months' injury for both of them."
The good news? Freshman Artie Burns, who missed the Virginia game with an ankle, "looked really good" Monday according to Golden.
> Ladarius Gunter, airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital on Saturday with a neck injury, was seen walking around campus in a neck brace. UM is keeping him out this week as he recovers, but there's a strong possibility he will be back for the bowl game.
"He's around. He has a great attitude," Golden said. "[All the tests] are negative. It's just a function of him getting his confidence back, feeling comfortable and also the doctors clearing him."
> Miami had two 2014 commitments sign and return financial aid agreements on Monday with the school: blue-chip offensive lineman KC McDermott and receiver Braxton Berrios.
The NCAA recently made changes that allow a recruit on track to graduate early from high school to sign a financial-aid agreement as long as the participating college establishes that the player is enrolled in all coursework necessary to graduate high school at the midyear point.
The financial-aid agreement is not the same as a letter of intent, which binds a recruit to a college. The financial-aid agreement commits the university to provide a scholarship, but does not commit the prospect to accept. The benefit for UM? The Hurricanes are no longer restricted by NCAA rules that limit communication with a recruit.
Golden said he couldn't comment on any players who might have signed financial aid agreements because all documentation must first go through compliance and the league office. Golden said he would love to see an early signing day put it place and suggested around the holidays as the window (Dec. 22-Jan. 1).
"In a sense, we're almost circumventing something we've all wanted for a long time, an early signing day," Golden said of the new financial aid agreements. "It's kind of there. To some extent [this] does allow that to transpire. But I would be in favor of an early signing day. Fiscally it's the right thing to do. For all of us as institutions were going to save a lot of money. It clears up the pool for everybody who is a member institution.
> UM signed three fifth-year transfers last off-season: punter Pat O'Donnell and defensive linemen David Gilbert and Justin Renfrow.
Will Golden continue to take fifth-year senior transfers? Not if he doesn't have to.
"I want to get back to conventional recruiting," he said. "We would like to be back to manage our numbers and going through a normal recruiting cycle. This one, the penalty is already factored into this one. Next year, 2015, is the first one we won't have anything to deal with [in terms of the NCAA investigation]."
> Defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio said Miami's tackling effort against Virginia was the best performance of the season for his unit. They graded out at 93 percent. UM had graded out at 79 and 78 percent in its two previous losses to Virginia Tech and Duke.
"We're still a work in progress, fighting for consistency," D'Onofrio said. "They obviously ran for more yards than we wanted to. But at the end of the day we played almost 99 plays. You're going to have yards.
Virginia tallied 483 yards against UM, but 147 of those came on the final three drives of the game with UM already up 38-20 and playing a lot of prevent defense.
"The last three series we were playing soft the whole time," D'Onofrio said. "It's my job not to give up a bomb at that point and let them back in the game. We were getting there, hitting the quarterback, hitting him with a four-man rush and trying not to give up something deep. The snuck some runs in there, did some things. But you can't sit here and worry about the yards. You got to worry about the game. It's a play-by-play basis.
D'Onofrio said he thought Luther Robinson, Curtis Porter, Anthony Chickillo and Olsen Pierre "were stout" along Miami's defensive line Saturday.
"To answer your question it wasn't them," D'Onofrio said of Miami's early struggles against Virginia (203 rushing yards).
> Gilbert, who returned a fumble 72 yards for a touchdown, admitted he was disappointed with how little he played early in the season and actually approached defensive line coach Jethro Franklin about more playing time after getting in on only seven snaps against Wake Forest.
"David played his best game. He gave us something, gave us some energy," D'Onofrio said. "He looked like he had a little more twitch to him. He was moving around a little bit better, gave us something in the pass rush game. We created some competition over there. Quan [Muhammad] went into the game before him. When he got his chance to go in the game he made something out of it. That's what competition does."
> D'Onofrio said sophomore outside linebacker Tyriq McCord did well with his expanded role Saturday (the first time all season he was in on first and second downs). But D'Onofrio said McCord still has a couple things he needs to improve on.
"He earned the right to get in there. He's got big play ability and he has the right tools to really be good in this defense," D'Onofrio said. "He's just got to make his mind up daily that he's got to improve, which he's done the last couple of weeks I don't see any reason [he won't]. He's got a world of potential and he's continuing to improve. Being able to play all those guys helped us."
> Offensive coordinator James Coley, whose unit produced only 304 yards (third fewest this season behind Florida and Florida State), said the Hurricanes left a lot of plays out on the field against the Cavaliers.
Miami has struggled on third down over their last four games, going a combined 17 of 52 (32.6 percent). UM's third-down conversion percentage this season (37.6) is slightly down from a year ago (39.4).
"It's been a tough deal the last couple weeks," Coley said. "We just got to execute. We got to do a better job. It starts with me. I got to do a better job coaching."
Quarterback Stephen Morris didn't have his best game either against Virginia.
"Sometimes when the weather is bad you got to overcome those things, make your plays and trust your teammates," Coley said. "I love his attitude. I love the way he's approaching practice, the message he's giving the younger guys with regards to here's where we're going; this is what's facing. He's been very professional and business like. I love it. I like where his mind is at."
> Coley remains hopeful receiver Phillip Dorsett will play this week, but cautioned Miami's practice Monday was light. "He looked good running out there," Coley said. "We'll find out more [Tuesday] when things heat up."
> Coley said freshman receiver Stacy Coley, one of only three receivers to catch a pass in Saturday's win, has really matured as the season has gone on.
"He's a smart guy. He processes when you're either criticizing or you're coaching him or hard on him," James Coley said. "He's not listening to how you're delivering your message. He's actually listening to what you're saying. Smart players do that. They get past the other stuff. That's where he's improved."
> Cornerback Tracy Howard was named the ACC's Co-Defensive Back of the Week. UM has now had eight different players honored by the ACC in its weekly awards.

NightHacking Munich JUG Eventsteveonjava | November 2, 2012
I just finished up a live session with the Munich JUG that was organized by Toni Epple. We started out with group introductions, and did an overview of JavaFX on the desktop and embedded platforms. There were lots of good questions about JavaFX support on mobile platforms, deployment of JavaFX, and real-world companies using JavaFX (but to find the answers you will have to watch the live stream):
To get here i had a nice 7 hour ride down the German Autobahn… I thought I was well equipped with my 1200cc BMW (seen below in a pic I took on the eurotunnel), but when fully loaded with luggage it had a scary high-speed wobble above 180kph. And even at that speed, I was still being passed by little minivans and audis.
Although I have to say the German roads are very nicely done. They are immaculately paved, and have very helpful electronic signs that let you know you should slow down miles before you approach an accident or construction. Even though everyone was cruising along at speeds in which crashes are fatal, you felt quite safe and in good company. 🙂
Tomorrow I will be interviewing Toni and Adam Bien, so don't miss those live events on the NightHacking stream:

If you rent one, negotiate for a spare battery and make sure they actually fully charged the ones you get.

There's also the option, if you get a 14 or 18 volt sawzall, to make an extension cord that goes over to your car battery with aligator clamps, and run it from that. It works pretty good, runs just a little slower than it does on the battery pack.

I've cut apart an early EA81 a while back and I see evidence that other cars have been cut apart recently. Not sure who is cutting them up. I know about their rule against jacks and torches; I haven't seen anything regarding saws. I recently asked about the cost for a pair of rocker panels and did not get an additional cost for having them cut it up.
I don't think PAP allows saws, among with jacks and torches. They got a bigass sign in there with the rules. You gotta have an employee cut it off for a fee plus the part.

One that I come to wonder about every little while is two students from my class at university.The first, we never met in person. He was on all the attendance registers and paperwork for the class, but never showed up. The lecturers expressed as much surprise and confusion as the students, so he hadn't told them he'd fallen ill or anything. However, every month or so, he sent around a group email stating how sad he was to not have met us yet, and how he hoped to see us soon, so we all thought he'd finally be making an appearance. No such luck, and then each month gone brought another email. To make things even stranger, in spite of never attending lessons, completing assignments (that we know of - there were several group assignments involving presentations, he could have been submitting the essays) or taking the exams, we came into our second year (you had to pass the first year to be allowed to start the second) and his name was still on the register!The second girl I actually met and got on quite well with. She and I had a fair amount in common and on occasion would work or study together. We had an assignment that required us to record a conversation between ourselves and another person (so we could transcribe it), and she offered to lend me her dictaphone, having already made a recording for her own transcript. I gratefully accepted, made my recording, saved it to my computer and came in the following Monday ready to return it... only for her to not be in our lesson. Okay, she's ill, I thought, except she wasn't in all week. I sent her a message on FB reminding her that I had her dictaphone, and got no response. She never came back to university. I attempted on several occasions to get her dictaphone back to her, but she stopped answering her phone and FB.I still have the dictaphone...
My best friend and I went to a movie at 10 PM. There was a couple a few rows below us; other than that, the show was empty. Halfway through the movie, I noticed a glimmer out of the corner of my eye. I didn't think much of it at first. But then I got this weird feeling like I was being watched. I looked up and there was a round object just hovering in the air. It was bigger than a golf ball but smaller than those rubber bouncy balls kids like to toss at brick walls. The ball was probably one or two feel below ceiling level, and directly over the first row that had stairs next to it. It was definitely too big and round to be a dust particle, eye floaters, light from the projection room, a thrown food wrapper or the beam from a laser pointer. As the ball moved across the room, the side facing the screen + the left side (my left) was reflecting light from the screen; the back side was black. I grabbed my purse to take out my camera for a picture, when the ball got closer to the wall. But by the time I got my camera out, the ball was gone.
Ok who's got all the containers because I've got all the lids. A little while ago we were over-run with plastic containers but we freeze a lot of meals so it was fine, now we've got no containers and lots of lids.

Where do single socks go?? Seriously does my washing machine eat them? I'm surrounded by single tiny DS socks and I'm really confused as they went into the machine in pairs. Now I'm stuck with a million divorced socks searchingffrantically for their partners. I'm convinced that somewhere in my house is a whole other pile of single socks just waiting to be reunited with their lost sole mates.Sorry. Bad puns are my Archilles heel...

Q. How young is too young to be a bad person? I never would have thought it could happen in my family, but my granddaughter, 12, is miserable, angry, morbid, and, as I've recently discovered, seemingly incapable of being a positive human being. Last month, my son died in a car accident. He had been drinking, but I believe the greater culprit was a slippery road after a heavy rain. I am devastated, but this girl has yet to even shed a tear! She was always an odd child: quiet, aloof, refusing to associate with family unless forced to. The girl's father just died, and she doesn't seem bothered.
To make matters worse, she seems bizarrely fixated on other people's grief while not experiencing any of her own. She asks whether we've cried, how much we've cried, why we've cried. She even asked that I cry for her! My husband says I'm being unreasonable, but I really can't stand seeing this girl anymore. How can I be around a girl who could be so callous about the death of her own father? At this point, I just want to cut her out of my family's life. But I do wish to see my grandson, my son's other child. I've wondered whether therapy or medication could fix my granddaughter's problems.
A. The death aside, this child sounds unhappy and perhaps disturbed. As for the loss of her father, her grieving behavior sounds unusual but not unfeeling. She sounds in no way oblivious and may have suppressed her grief by displacing it onto others. The fact that she's discussing death makes me think the subject is on her radar screen. She may be in emotional, albeit not cognitive, denial. Instead of wishing not to deal with her, I would pay extra attention to her. You say nothing of the child's mother, but a therapist would be helpful.
Q. One of my oldest friends is approaching dire financial straits. She has been "between jobs" for about a year and is the single parent of a teenage boy. She's a professional who has held a series of jobs over the past five years, and I think she likes risk more than safety. With every job, there comes a point where she absolutely hates being there (the novelty has worn off), so she'll quit or get laid off. And she has taken a rather laissez faire attitude about things. Until now.
Suddenly, it seems, she sees that no one wants to hire her (she's in her 50s), and she's starting to panic. I don't know what, if anything, to do, except listen. She also has psychological issues that have been diagnosed, but she won't follow through on medication. I feel there is nothing more to do to help her, but I don't want to abandon her, either.
A. Your friend is learning — perhaps a little late — that actions have consequences. There is nothing for you to do except encourage her, as a first step, to follow through with the medical advice she's been given and get her to understand her own past actions. Should she be lucky enough to land a new job, you might remind her every now and then that it's a job she needs.All letters must be sent by means of the online form at www.creators.com/dearmargo.

"Robby", it's more than just his hobby!
They're both junkies. He "gave" her the ring then immediately pawned it (you'll note the references to the pawn shop where the ring was found).
The receiving stolen goods charge is bogus though, why isn't the pawn shop being charged if it's a valid charge.
The receiving stolen goods charge is bogus though, why isn't the pawn shop being charged if it's a valid charge.
It is not a bogus charge. At least in California, the prosecutor must establish that the defendant knew it was stolen. It's often used in theft cases when they can't prove who stole an item, but they have a pretty good idea.
I love how they charged the girlfriend (even though she's not just innocent but also oblivious)
Why do you think that the girlfriend knew nothing about this. According to the guy's grandmother she was hounding her boyfriend for a ring knowing that he couldn't pay for one. The grandmother said of her, "All the time, 'I want a ring. I want a ring. I want a ring'". She had been at the house where the robbery took place. I could just imagine that she saw the ring, liked it and pointed it out to the boyfriend and said that she wanted THAT ring.
Dare I say that she might have been the ringleader of the gang?
Don't forget though that this is what HIS grandmother is saying about HER. It may be true, but on the other hand in-law conflicts, especially mother-in-law daughter-in-law conflicts can be quite strained. (yes, it's a stereotype... but it's also often true)
It is true that we only have a small amount of information about this, and that we can't trust all of it. However, the police have more information than we do, so my point is that we cannot second guess whether charges should have been laid against the girlfriend. The assumptions by the original poster that the girlfriend was innocent and only charged as leverage against the boyfrield is unsustainable.
we cannot second guess whether charges should have been laid against the girlfriend.
But, this is the Internet...
/I laid against the girlfriend
'I want a ring. I want a ring. I want a ring'
Gawd, that guy is lucky he's going to jail. Any woman who hounds like that isn't worth it.
For what it's worth, I will

Robert Driscoll is among the Friends.
Also, she probably created this account [facebook.com] - the 3 friends currently in it are common with the above account. My guess is the police have gotten her barred from accessing the first account.
She is alleged to have held stolen property. That is a crime in most places if you know it is stolen.
Robby, no robbing!
Nothing in the world says "I love you" quite so much as stolen merchandise. I'm so head over heels for my wife that I'm about to go out and knock over a convenience store.
Ha! Your love is feeble, my friend. For my wife I just stole roughly $1.2 million worth of intellectual property. (downloaded her a Beatle's album via torrent)

That's just so wrong! Your wife doesn't need it. Just think. If you set up your unlimited Internet connection just right you could download enough merchandise to end World poverty by Wednesday!!!

Okay, just don't check into FourSquare when you get there.
for solving crimes. Ask any cop.
It's quite possible, and even likely that he wasn't the thief. Say someone traded the rings for drugs or a car stereo? The police don't have an unbroken chain from the victims house to the thieves hands, so unless he confesses they are going to have a pretty hard time convicting him.
If he isn't the thief, he'll certainly have to explain where he got the ring. The police could follow the trail back to find the thief in that case. Otherwise, if he is the thief he'll have a hard time explaining where he got it.
Possession is 9/10ths of the law. It's not just a saying. If he didn't steal it himself, he's guilty of receiving stolen property. If he won't roll on the person that gave it to him, he must be the one that stole it. How else would it magically land in his lap? Either way, _someone_ will go to jail for the theft of the ring. In a case like you hypothesize, that someone will be the person in possession of the ring, absent any other suspects. It's hard to argue that someone in possession of a stolen ring didn
Cops have a high tolerance to donuts so millidonuts are too granular. You'll be wanting a megadonut scale.
I need to get that motion activated security camera for my jewelry [allyn.com] so that when people like this steal it, the police can make a solid identification.
As one detective once said, "Every dumb criminal is a failure of the education system."
Like the kind who go house-burglaring during a snowstorm thinking that the bilzzard of snowflakes will camouflage them against the surroundings. Then the detectives just follow the footprints in the snow from the crime scene back to their home.
Assuming the article is accurate, the bride-to-be really had no reason to suspect the ring was stolen.
Now she's permanently tainted with a criminal record for being a victim.
Way to go, justice system.
I bet she knows all about how "Robby" gets his hands on stuff like this, and appreciates the flow of stolen goods.
I think receiving stolen property is a crime just so fences can't hide behind saying they unknowingly purchased stolen goods. It also probably has some relevance to money laundering in organised crime. Usually those who legitimately didn't know are just let off.
Knowingly receiving stolen property is a serious crime. Receiving it in good faith, without knowledge or suspicion it was stolen is not. It's up to the court to determine which is the case. (you still have to give the property back, and if you paid for it while buying it in good faith you may join the suit against the thief to have your money back)
If she had a good reason to suspect the ring was stolen, she's guilty. But if the boyfriend successfully deceived her into believing this was all legit she'll walk away free.
(yes, she can lie her way out of this one even if she's guilty, if she's clever enough. OTOH she doesn't sound very clever.)
OTOH she doesn't sound very clever.
That much can be derived from her taste in mates alone.
Generally, water seeks its own level.
yes, she can lie her way out of this one even if she's guilty, if she's clever enough. OTOH she doesn't sound very clever.
She doesn't need to be clever. That's what what expensive lawyers are for.
Oh wait, she's broke.
Concern for guilt or innocence is out of fashion in the DA's office these days. They prefer to just railroad anyone they can for anything they can.
It's more obvious now than it was in the past, but I doubt it's more prevalent. It's the nature of being the prosecutor. If you didn't believe the defendant to be guilty you probably wouldn't have brought charges.
Actually, what I mean is that it appears that DAs are increasingly willing to bring charges even when it should be obvious the defendant is not guilty, add charges that are clearly inappropriate and insist on the defendant's guilt even when actually proven innocent through forensics. The latter to the point that they have been known to fight the release of a prisoner AFTER they have been unequivocally exonerated.
I suppose all of that could be genuine belief in guilt, but only if the belief has crossed into mental illness, kinda like those guys who genuinely believe the aliens are talking to them in their heads.
It could be that it has always been like that and it just comes to light more often, but that hardly improves matters.
Being charged with a crime isn't being permanently tainted. It's being convicted of a crime that does that.
Depends on the crime. Michael Jackson and OJ Simpson were both found not guilty.
That's what they taught us in school, yes. But these days you don't even have to be charged with a crime to be detained indefinitely [washingtonpost.com].

I thought that philmarcracken's comment [slashdot.org] was funny.
I have now realized that reality is even funnier, and far more strange.
So, at least according to the police and article author:
1. Dumb woman insists on getting an expensive engagement ring from her boyfriend despite both being broke.
2. Dumb boyfriend steals a ring from dumb woman's cousin's friend's roommate while visiting with dumb woman and her cousin.
3. Dumb boyfriend gives stolen ring to the dumb woman.
4. Dumb woman posts a photo of the ring to facebook.
5. Dumb woman's cousin recognizes the ring.
6. Dumb woman's cousin tells his friends and they call the police.
While (1) to (4) are already incredibly stupid, and (2) is beyond my understanding of stupidity (that is, I can not see the logic, faulty or not, behind making such decision), I have to point out that the person who recognized the ring was dumb woman's cousin AND victim's roommate's friend. Even if dumb woman did not post the photo in (4), he would see her wearing the ring, so (5) and (6) would inevitably follow.
So considering how little importance Facebook has in those events, I have to bring a more important (at least for this site) matter -- SOME PEOPLE ARE EXTREMELY STUPID. Stupid to the extent that they choose the worst course of actions available to them in a situation when absolutely nothing compels them to do anything at all. And people like that use technology.
Don't forget that he sold six stolen items for only $250.. I mean, selling stolen goods is risky and can earn you a not-so-nice accommodation for a year or more, so why even bother for such a small amount of money?
>why even bother for such a small amount of money?
Junkies live in the moment. Often they expect to die very soon and they are bargaining for the moment. This is hard to understand if you haven't walked in their shoes. I'm not trying to justify it.
Don't forget that he sold six stolen items for only $250.. I mean, selling stolen goods is risky and can earn you a not-so-nice accommodation for a year or more, so why even bother for such a small amount of money?
Because that's all the thief can get - it's not like he has any leverage.
Thief: Hey, I got this great laptop worth $2000.
Fence: Meh. I'll give you $50.
Thief: Hey, it's worth $3000. I want at least $1000
Fence: I'll give you $50, or I'll call the cops and tell them you tried to sell it to me.
Thief: (Grumbles as he hands over laptop and takes his $50)
And people like that use technology.
Even worse, they breed.
Hey, that ring on Slashdot looks familiar...
Throw it in the fire just to make sure.
They later learned that Driscoll had sold six of the stolen items at Gold Buyers of Pittsburgh for $250.
This is what is so maddening about these crimes. I do not know what the six stolen items were, but I'll bet that some of them had sentimental value to the owners far beyond the intrinsic value of the gold itself, and now they are likely gone forever.
I do not know what the six stolen items were, but I'll bet that some of them had sentimental value to the owners far beyond the intrinsic value of the gold itself, and now they are likely gone forever.
For this reason I stopped caring about expensive stuff. It's just bits of metal and stuff. Well fuck that. Thank god the girlfriend doesn't give a rat's ass about gold and diamonds either.
This took place less than 5 miles from where I live. The neighborhood has really gone down hill recently. I know we can't condemn an entire neighborhood because of the actions of a few individuals, but I would bet money that at least one of the members of this couple has cocaine problem.
This is just a case of "cokehead's girlfriend blabs and they both got busted', the facebook angle isn't particularly novel...
It's not nice to assume everyone is a coke head. She might like meth too!
Lol, I read that as "She might like math too!"
I doubt it, her story just doesn't add up.
Meh. Arguing over the what quality of diamond is "best" is pointless. They're all overvalued because of misguided sentimentality and the effectively criminal cartel, DeBeers.
They're also pretty. If you must waste your money on shiny carbon allotropes, possibly mined by children, the best one is the one that you like the best: No matter how "flawless" or "high quality" it is, you're not getting your money back. Diamonds are not an investment.
Okay...with a not so common name like that, it was easy to find her page. While I feel for her a bit (7 month old, hence the marriage pressure, and the fact that she fell for something like that), I just had to laugh at the current relationship status: It's complicated.
System checkpoint complete.
