Going to the Chapel...
If you are interested in the trials and tribulations of my spine, read on. :+)
Today I had my 2nd caudal epidural steroid injection. I don't think I explained what that is. My understanding is that the caudal area is the sacrum which is basically the flat area above your tailbone but before your lumbar. It's the lovely little area at the very top of the center of your butt checks. The use a 7 inch needle and inject an a topical anesthetic like lidocaine and then inject 15 cc's of a steroid. The hope is that this will reduce my pain (by reducing inflammation) and I can have a bit more aggressive physical therapy. If the shots work, then the hope is by the time they wear off, I'll be in less pain and able to do more. Which would be fabulous! I had several wonderful and dear (MISSY) friends praying for me today to have less pain during the procedure. Their prayers were answered and I was blessed with a better procedure than last week! The next one is in 2 weeks. Thank you all. I have such truly wonderful friends.

Ableton Suite 8.2 Upgrade from Suite 7
Digital Audio Workstation Software Suite with 10 Virtual Instruments; Upgrade from Suite 7 Mac/PC
Model: Live8SuiteUp

This is an upgrade path to Live 8.2 Suite from Live 7 Suite.
Dive into the Ableton Live 8.2 Suite and you'll soon see how deep it is. You get the breakthrough Ableton Live 8.2 digital audio workstation software - which gives creative musicians and DJs a unique and powerful way of composing, recording, editing, and performing. But, with the Ableton Live 8.2 Suite, you also get a collection of 10 virtual instruments, so you have a complete in-the-box solution for making music. Included are synthesizers, electronic and acoustic drums, mallets, strings sounds, and more. Make the most out of Ableton Live 8.2, with the Ableton Live 8.2 Suite.
When you choose the Ableton Live 8.2 Suite, you're equipping yourself with an army of music-making tools - both for serious studio production and for inspiring stage performances. This huge package comes with the powerful Live 8.2 DAW as well as 10 amazing virtual instruments. You can get creative with everything from lush synthesized pads to thick leads, back up your sounds with acoustic and electronic drum beats, then layer in mallets, strings, and more. Because Ableton Live 8.2 Suite gives you everything you need to make music right in the box, you won't have to go right out and drop cash on other virtual instrument libraries, until you've thoroughly explored this rich collection. In fact, when you consider the affordable added value of Ableton Live 8.2, you'll have already saved more than $700 - as that's what it would cost you to separately purchase each of these Ableton Live 8.2 Suite virtual instrument collections and add them to Ableton Live 8.2.
Ableton packed Ableton Live 8.2 Suite with a world-class library of virtual instruments. Two of their newest masterpiece instruments include Collision and Latin Percussion. Collision is a unique instrument, giving you authentic mallet sounds for creative percussion. It employs physical modeling technology to reproduce real-world instruments, including xylophones, marimbas, and glockenspiels. But, the depth in Collision is amazing - you'll have plenty of room to create dramatic new instruments and sounds. Next in the all-new Ableton Live 8.2 Suite lineup is Latin Percussion, a massive collection of acoustic percussion instruments - bongos, claves, timbales, congas, shakers, bells, and tambourines. Plus, not only does Ableton Live 8.2 Suite's Latin Percussion give you these playable Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and African virtual instruments - it also comes with a bunch of authentic clips and grooves.
Ableton has ramped up their Operator synthesizer for Ableton Live 8.2 Suite, and seriously hot-rodded it for superb performance. There are new filter types, even more modulation routing options, plus additive wavetable synthesis with drawable partials. In short, you'll love tweaking Ableton Live 8.2 Suite's Operator.
Included with the Ableton Live 8.2 Suite is a copy of the Ableton live DAW. it certainly offers all of the tools you need to make music in a traditional "linear" way, though the gurus at Ableton developed it to allow a uniquely creative approach to song creation. Use Ableton Live 8.2 to piece together song ideas and song structures by dragging around sections and loops in "Session View" (discussed further below). Or, use Live 8.2's Session View to enhance your live performances by assigning out massive MIDI controls - so you can record loops, overdub, perform in a massive synth part, and develop songs, all on the fly. Offering an inspiring workflow for everyone from DJs to solo musicians to top-level groove producers, Ableton Live 8.2 Suite is a complete solution for brainstorming, creating, composing, building, growing, and performing your songs.
Use Ableton Live 8.2 Suite's Session View to develop your songs - either in the creative environment of your studio or out in front of the audience. In this mode, you can quickly lay out all of each instrument's "changes" of a song - from up to down, instead of left to right. Each part is essentially a loop, and you can trigger different scenes to play different combinations of each part, trying out new song structures or parts just by dragging and dropping. Ableton Live 8.2 Suite appeals to tons of electronic artists for just this feature - you can record audio into Live 8.2, leave it running as a loop, record in audio to another loop, and creatively mash, solo parts, or play synth parts over the top of everything. For songwriters, Ableton Live 8.2 Suite's Session View also offers a unique way to restructure songs and try out different verse/chorus/verse/bridge lengths and transitions, without messing up the audio and MIDI you've recorded and sequenced in your "linear" session. And, once you've landed on a structure you like, you can easily record it into your Ableton Live 8.2 Suite regular timeline, just by triggering the transitions.
Nearly every control in Ableton Live 8.2 Suite is MIDI-mappable, so you can pair it with any MIDI controller for a serious amount of flexibility. Use your MIDI controller's knobs and sliders to adjust volumes, panning, effects, or to trigger scenes and virtual instruments. By assigning out your custom settings in Ableton Live 8.2 Suite, you can work - or perform - in any way you want.
Ableton Live 8.2 Suite now includes an intelligent sound-on-sound Looper feature, which you can easily control remotely with a regular footswitch. What makes Live 8.2's Looper so cool is that it will read the tempo from the length of the first loop you record, and it automatically syncs up - that way, it eliminates timing issues and lets you record without the click. Use Live 8.2's Looper to loop endlessly - Multiple Looper sync lets you run as many Loopers as you want, without synchronization headaches. Plus, you can drag and drop a loop from Live 8.2's Looper right into a clip slot in Session View to make a clip. When you want it back in Looper, all you have to do is drag it back over.
If you're into grooving, Ableton Live 8.2 Suite is even more exciting than the previously groundbreaking versions of Live. In addition to a massive Drum Rack for dragging and dropping samples, slicing them, and laying them out onto your MIDI controller, Live 8.2 now offers an enhanced groove engine. You can influence the timing and velocity/volume of audio and MIDI to give life and swing to straight patterns. Use the Live 8.2 groove engine to extract groove patterns from any audio or MIDI source - and you can build your own library of grooves from your favorite tracks, which you can apply to other tracks later. Ableton Live 8.2 Suite's groove engine also lets you quantize audio and MIDI in real time - or randomize it for a more "human" feel.
Ableton Live 8.2 Suite comes to you with tons of effects for developing your sound and producing it until it's ready to be published on your website or on CD. Along with creative choruses, delays, phasers, and other must-have effects, Live 8.2 is now packed with five new powerful effects, developed with a bit of extra "Ableton shine." The included Vocoder lets you get that famous "singing robot" effect, and offers you a ton of control for sound design. Beyond that, a new Multiband Dynamics effect lets you visualize what's going on with your audio, so you can process it more effectively. Other new effects in Ableton Live 8.2 Suite include a stompbox-modeling Overdrive effect, the brick-wall Limiter, and the sci-fi-sounding Frequency Shifter.
By far one of the greatest leaps in the development of Ableton Live introduced in version 8.2 is The Bridge. The Bridge lets you integrate Live and Serato Scratch Live (requires Scratch Live 2.1.1 or later; support for ITCH is in the works), giving you complete turntable-style control over your multitrack sessions. Using Ableton Live 8.2 with Scratch is easy - you just drag your Live set to one of Scratch's decks, and you're all set. Now you can can mix, nudge, loops, scratch, and otherwise manipulate your Live set, just like any other track in Scratch Live.
When you active the "Ableton View" in Scratch Live, you gain full access to you clips, loops, scenes, instruments, and devices running in Live. You can also use Ableton Live 8.2 to record mixtapes from Scratch Live. Save your Scratch Live set as an .als, and instead of recording an audio file, you'll produce an Ableton Live file complete with loops, regions, and automation data. Now, when you flub that transition near the end of your set, all you have to do is open the file and tweak it until it's perfect.
Another amazing new feature in Live 8.2 is AMP, Ableton's first ever guitar and bass amplifier emulation effect. It may look humble, but AMP is a powerhouse processor, providing astonishingly realistic amp simulation that produces an enormous range of tone, without being unnecessarily complicated to operate. Choose from seven amazing amplifier models, including voicings perfect for clean chime, bluesy bite, metal mayhem, rock rhythms, beefy bass, and more. If you love classic tube amps, then just one look (or listen) and you'll know exactly where these intensely realistic tones come from. Get ready to rock Live like never before!

*** Lesson Details ***
Students who study with me can expect for their guitar, drum kit, percussion, or piano lessons to be top-quality, personalized, and above all, extremely fun sessions that will cater to the students musical backgrounds, interests, and needs. I create extremely organized and specifically focused lessons so that students feel comfortable, not pressured, while learning their craft. The lessons I teach are a combination of developmental sight reading music, learning student chosen songs (depending on ability), inspiring and encouraging creative abilities, warm-up and strengthening exercises, proper techniques, listening for internal hearing, composition dynamics, chords, finger-picking (guitar only) and rudiments (drum kit only).
After 3 months of lessons together, students will have started learning several key elements to becoming an outstanding musician. They will have learned proper form and technique, warm-up/skill-building exercises, to read basic notation, and basic rhythms/rudiments. Guitar/Piano students will be able to play at least one song utilizing both melody and chords. For drum kit/percussion, students should have no problem reading basic drum beats and being able to play through a simple song. With proper, steady practice, most students will achieve much more. I also focus on creative thinking, professionalism, and instrument tuning. Finally, the students will have started to develop a solid level of discipline that is required of any aspiring human being! Remember, "practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent."
*** Studio Equipment ***
Electronic Roland V-Drums, Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Casio CTK-800, LP Assorted Percussions, Protools LE, Logic Pro, Korg Electribe, Pioneer XDJ-XR, Music Books
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide drum sticks, guitar, keyboards, percussion instruments, and all developmental material for students to retain and practice.
I expect my students to be providing the necessary musical equipment as well (guitars, drum kits, percussion instruments, piano/keyboard) for private lessons in home. If they do not have these in the home to practice with, the lessons are much less effective for your student.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in the following styles of playing:
Rock, Hip - Hop, All Latin, Jazz, Funk, Blues, R and B, Gospel, and Dance. I also have a very good feel for World Music as well. I have a very free-spirit for playing, so I often mesh the above stated styles into a more progressive style of playing. I believe that you must be feeling what you are playing.
I also specialize in DJing, beat programming/sequencing, recording, organizing song-writing/song-structure, musical score, live performance, and professional music marketing. I am able to show you how to use programs such as Logic Pro, Protools LE, Adobe, and Pioneer programs to take your creative abilities to the next level.
I believe that these days, it is imperative for musicians to have four major components in their professional arsenal: 1) Discipline and chops on your instruments (including reading music notation); 2) Know how to successfully market yourself and your music; 3) Know how to properly develop a learning ear to record/produce your songs/tracks as well as for others; and 4) Understand and effectively utilize music production programs.
I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your musical desires. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a music-filled day.

About Lou S.Close
View Full Profile
I've taught countless students of all ages and levels. I teach in a curriculum based program unlike any other that I've seen in books, or DVD's combining technique, music theory, groove essentials, fill study, and unique exercises, games, and patterns. All combining to create fundamentally sound musical drummers who can play any genre of music with groove & chops! I've played and been around drumming my entire life. I learned how to play and teach from one of the best. It is a gift that I am very passionate about and I never take lightly.
About Louis
As the youngest in the family I had the opportunity to learn from my Dad as well as my other family members. My structured lessons started at the age of 5 and by the time I reached high school I was booking my own band and performing weekly at local clubs and events.
There was a certain amount of pressure growing up in this environment. After all, if you're the teacher's kid, you're expected to be good, right? This is true, but the way my Father taught and how he inspired me was to be sure I had my own identity. He was not making clones, he was teaching the ART of drumming, and like any artist all of his students were enco
My hard work paid off, and soon his students wanted to learn from me as well. Without even knowing it I was not only taught how to play, but given the gift of being able to teach!
Over the years I've played in many different musical situations from bands specializing in Classic Rock, Blues, Latin Rock, Jazz, and all the varied rhythms needed to play in everything from shows to weddings. With a solid foundation and the freedom to create my own style I have achieved many years of success and fulfillment as a drummer.
In 2007, I moved to Arizona from the East Coast and built my first studio. Since then I've taught countless students of all ages and levels. I teach in a curriculum based program unlike any other that I've seen in books, or DVD's combining technique, music theory, groove essentials, fill study, and unique exercises, games, and patterns. All combining to create fundamentally sound musical drummers who can play any genre of music with chops!

From being on stage with Buddy Rich when I was five years old, playing and booking my own band at the age of 13, performing with the great Louie Bellson, and teaching others what I have learned through a lifetime of study. Drums have been my passion and inspiration and I look forward to each lesson when I have the privilege of passing that knowledge and inspiration to my students!
*** Lesson Details ***
My pledge to students is to listen. I listen to what their goals are and do my best to insure they achieve them. I expect they work hard to achieve those goals and I match that effort with lesson plans incorporating unique and personalized exercises and demonstrations.
I offer encouragement as we progress from the beginning fundamentals through intermediate and advanced study of the ART of drumming.
Each student will go at a different pace, so my students can expect that I will patiently guide them as they advance.
My curriculum will teach them how to hold the sticks and move the fingers, wrists, and arms so they are fundamentally sound. We'll learn stick control techniques that will allow them to play dynamically.
Drums are a physical instrument and must be played with proper technique to allow each of us to reach our maximum potential, but proper technique also insures that we are playing the instrument safely. Contrary to what some believe, drums are not just something you beat on! It is an instrument of varied pitch and dynamics and from the very start my students learn the techniques needed to play safe, play dynamically, and most of all… play musically!
I also incorporate play-along games for kids that are not only fun but teach the fundamentals of timing and groove. We use a multi-set configuration so they get to see how I approach a groove, fill, or song. My State-Of-The-Art studio allows for musical and video study, instant record/playback learning and a balanced blend of book study with musical demonstrations and exercises in all genres.
Intermediate and advanced students are evaluated and interviewed where together we identify goals and chart a course of study that will allow them to become the drummer they want to be.
Beginning students will find that my clear and concise instruction of the fundamentals of stick control and hand/foot independence can be sufficiently learned in the first handful of lessons and then we will begin our study of Classic Rock grooves.
From there more advanced grooves and "add-on" techniques are feathered in with additional music theory developing a well-rounded musician.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Private home studio with adjacent waiting area, semi sound proof, multiple drum kits, and seating for parents - SOUNDS GREAT, Video & Audio equipment to record and view lessons and show alternate angles students use to review technique.
*** Specialties ***
The method I teach is a curriculum that starts with the very foundation of drumming. How to hold the sticks, hand technique, reading. Students then progress to moving these techniques from the practice pad to the drum set with a series of books developed to progress through Rock, Jazz, and Latin styles.
I couple book exercises with personal lesson plans depending on the students interests. Demonstrations, Interactive games for the kids, and real world exercises are introduced along with multi-media recording of the student for playback study.

Lou took me by surprise after the first few lessons. His preference is to teach the foundation and basically build up from there. This sort of put me off at first because I wanted to learn a specific genre without all the extras that I thought I didn't need. Fortunately, he was able to help me understand that by learning all of the simple rudiments, I can play anything I want. Now, I haven't reached that stage yet, but I have no doubt that I can get there with Lou's help.

Lessons are customized for the students based on their interest and experience. I will cover the basics and rudiments with new students but allow them to create and follow their own musical path using a variety of methods and musical styles.
Learn to read, write, and play different styles of music with accompanying techniques and fills to add to your groove development.
About Aaron
I teach drum set in nearly every style and hybrid imaginable, as well as percussion and drum circle facilitation.
Accomplishments include recording 7 albums with various groups, touring with national acts across the west coast, drumming for the Warner Brothers Television house band, and still actively playing live shows and recording.
*** Lesson Deta
I put my focus on inspiring students to explore their own creativity with the tools and techniques that I give to them and nurture.
I think it is very important to cover the basic skills that the school districts expect from their music students (sight reading, proper technique, note recognition, rudiments, timing, feel, etc.).
I also feel it is important for a student to find his or her style and an ability to use the fundamentals to create music that they enjoy.
He has written a method book based on the fundamentals of playing a rhythmic instrument with an emphasis on allowing the student to find their niche and lead a group through a piece of music or tastefully support it.
My studios are fully equipped with sound systems, the latest recording gear, acoustic and electric sets, hand drums and dozens of other percussion instruments. I believe that the more resources a person can draw from, be it intellectual or physical, the more fulfilling the learning experience will be.
Each lesson, my students will take at least a page of music that represents the concept that they are focusing on, and a goal set to accomplish by the end of the week so that they can build upon what they already know in an effort to put the big picture together. Ultimately the student will learn when and how to utilize the concepts that they are practicing.
*** Studio Equipment ***
A Yamaha electronic drum set in my Mesa Studio allows me to control volume and dial up any sound imaginable. I have full acoustic drum sets in other studios that I use for recording and private lessons. Often I will integrate guitar, keyboard, or other instruments in to the lessons if needed.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Sticks, Practice Pad, tuning kit, binder and books with teaching supplements.
*** Specialties ***
Music, Drums, Percussion, Theory, Composition, Piano and Guitar.
Drummers should be well versed in all genres of music. Rock, Jazz, Latin, Swing, etc.
Most of my students begin with concert and marching styles on a practice pad, then advance to the drum set.
I teach note recognition and placement, rudiments, linear playing, moeller method, rhythm theory, sub-division of notes and time, and the sight-reading to support these techniques.

About Benjamin
Whether you want to pursue a Musical Career or simply learn how to Play your Favorite Tunes for friends and family, I am here as your Teacher and Guide. I teach at my own home, at the Student's home or through the use of Skype.
I recently moved to Detroit. I am originally from Ann Arbor. I spent much of this century living in NYC and prior to that I lived in Chicago. Those experiences vastly helped me develop Networking, Performance and Teaching experience.
As a Father of four, I have had the joy in teaching my own children Guitar, Saxophone, Songwriting, Composition and Keyboard. As a parent I have found that Patience and Encouragement is sometimes the best form of support. It has been proven that learning Music helps develop intuition, self-awareness, and social skills as well as improve in other subje
One of the most important aspects of playing Music is being able to Play by Ear. This has been a priceless gift that I have developed throughout my life and I encourage all musicians, young and old, to do the same. The use of simple Rhythmic Dictation and Ear Training exercises can do wonders for "picking out" Beats and Harmonies no matter what Genre we are interested in.
I attended music courses at The Boston School of Contemporary Music, Thomas Jefferson College (MI), and have a BA double majoring in Music Composition and English at Columbia College Chicago.
I have toured internationally as a Guitarist and Saxophonist. I am also a Songwriter. THIRD BORDER's "Sun of Water; Sea of Light" was selected to be nominated for the Grammy's as The Best Alternative Album of the Year in 2006. On this record, I played Guitar, Saxophone, sang Lead Vocal and wrote all Songs on that CD. So, if you are a Songwriter, we can polish up your approach! As a Composer, I have done Sound Design for Film, Dance, Spoken Word and Multi-media Performance - most notably with renowned poet Anne Carson and former members of The Merce Cunningham Dance Co.
I hope to talk to you soon!

Black Caviar's half brother 'Jimmy' loses battle with illness
Black Caviar's younger brother has lost his battle with illness after two months of intensive care at a Victorian veterinary clinic.
The $5 million colt, at the centre of the collapse of BC3 Thoroughbreds, was euthanised on Sunday morning at the Werribee clinic.
Mark Webster, managing director of auction house William Inglis and Son which held security over the half brother to the champion mare, made the announcement on his blog.
"At approximately 11am this morning the Redoute's Choice x Helsinge two-year-old colt known as Jimmy was euthanised on humane grounds at the Melbourne University Veterinary Hospital in Werribee Victoria," Webster said.
"Jimmy was suffering from laminitis, a painful hoof condition that impacts on the mobility of horses."
The colt is believed to have developed laminitis after suffering an adverse reaction to antibiotics being used to treat a swollen leg, apparently caused by a spider bite.
BC3 signed for an Australian record $5 million at the Easter Sale but defaulted on payment of the colt along with several other horses which are now for private sale by Inglis.
Other BC3 purchases are being re-auctioned by Magic Millions next month at its Gold Coast sale.

Guidelines for the Design and Effective Use of Teacher Codes of Conduct
Download: English
Achieving Education for All (EFA) is fundamentally about ensuring that children gain the knowledge and skills they need to better their lives and contribute to the development of more equitable and peaceful societies. They 'quality imperative' appears crucial in this context, as emphasized by Goal 6 of the Dakar Framework for Action, which commits countries to improve all aspects of the quality of education.
These guidelines have been prepared to: guide countries on how to successfully design a code (or review an existing code) to make it into a functional tool that will contribute effectively to the regulation of staff (and more specifically, teachers' conduct at school level); and help countries put in place the appropriate mechanisms to ensure the proper dissemination, application, and monitoring of the code at all levels of the system.
The guidelines are aimed at national stakeholders (ministries of education, teacher development colleges, and teacher unions), and local stakeholders (school principals, teachers, pupils, parents, and parents and teachers associations).

CORRECTION: This story incorrectly reported the Chautauqua Dining Hall's schedule on Wednesday. It will only be open for dinner that day.
Boulder's historic Chautauqua Dining Hall will re-open its doors this week after six months of renovations.
The 115-year-old building is scheduled to open for dinner Wednesday and then full breakfast, lunch and dinner service Thursday.
The dining hall is now under the operation of Three Leaf Concepts' Lenny and Sara Martinelli, who manage the Dunshanbe Tea House and restaurants Aji, Leaf and Naropa Café in Boulder, as well as The Huckleberry and Zucca in Louisville. The Colorado Chautauqua Association announced the management change last September after a 10-month-long search.
"We were impressed by their experience, especially with a city-owned property like the Dushanbe Teahouse, as well as their sense of community and sustainability efforts," said Ann Obenchain, Colorado Chautauqua Association's marketing and development director.
After the nearly year-long process to win the contract to operate the Dining Hall and another six months of structural improvements, the Martinellis on Monday said they are ready to welcome guests.
"I'm excited to not be in construction anymore!" Lenny Martinelli said about the re-opening. He added, "We're excited to be presenting to the city of Boulder a landmark building that has been updated in a new light."
The dining hall is literally in new light, with 100 percent LED and compact fluorescent lighting, Lenny Martinelli said. Many of the renovations were focused on increasing the dining hall's sustainability, including high performance insulation, tankless water heaters and low-flush toilets.
The aesthetic changes focus back on some of the original look of the park while remaining sustainable, the Martinellis said, including two stone fireplaces with local field stone -- some reclaimed from the park -- and restored hardwood flooring from the 1940s.
"The motif borrows from a railroad theme that brought settlers to the west," Lenny Martinelli said.
The bar top comes from reclaimed boxcar maple flooring, for example, and the foot rails are railroad tracks from 1903 and 1905.
Although most of the inside has been redecorated -- excluding the ceiling -- the shell of the building is in its original state. A new roof and paint job were the only major changes to the exterior, with some deteriorated trim, siding and gutters being replaced.
"The dining hall hadn't been redeveloped in over 15 years," Lenny Martinelli said. "We wanted to put forth renovations that spoke of us and addressed the needs of the building, Chautauqua residents and the board."
Because of the Martinellis' sustainability practices, Chautauqua's Sunday brunch no will longer include the buffet, according to a note on the dining hall's re-opening. However, customers can still enjoy "Colorado bistro cuisine" for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and brunch on Sundays.
The menu will focus on Colorado products, especially beers on tap, liquor and wine. Much of the food will come from local farms, including Three Leaf Farm, part of Three Leaf Concepts' group.
Sarah Martinelli said that they plan to use "as much (food) as we can" from Three Leaf Farm in Lafayette. Although the farm won't fully support Chautauqua Dining Hall, all of its products support the restaurants of Three Leaf Concepts, Sarah Martinelli said.
"(The farm) is a wonderful support to what we do," Sarah Martinelli said. "We love being a part of the cycle from growing to serving to bringing the vegetable waste back to the farm to compost."
Sarah also said that the idea of supporting local agriculture and products was "integral" in the Boulder community and part of what got Three Leaf Concepts involved with the farm-to-table movement.
"I'm really excited to be a part of such an integral part of the community and a part of the spirit of Boulder," Sarah Martinelli said.
Lenny Martinelli said that he hopes to create a "Yellowstone effect" for Chautauqua cottage guests as well as Boulder residents to experience a "big camp" feel within the city.

We assume that Griffith cannot control this state, and that during a full moon the child seizes control of his original body, as he has appeared to his parents in order to help them. But here we have Griffith standing in the moonlight while there is a full moon without the boy taking over. So it could be that Griffith willingly relinquishes the control of his body, during full moons since I believe that Schierke said that spirits are the strongest in that period.
As to why he would do that, well it could be a bunch of things. We saw that Griffith is still curious about Guts, as he was seen watching him in Vritannis, and in this chapter something similar happens with Rickert.So if he wants to keep up, so to speak, with Guts then what better way to send his own son.
However the child was seen helping his parents so it's more likely that Griffith has to let him out once in a while, to meet his parents since he yearns for them. And during the full moon it could be that the child becomes more powerful, so it becomes harder for Griffith to contain him.
I also find the theory that the boy could be an avatar of the Flower Storm king to be really interesting, and he uses that form because it could be familiar to Casca at the very least. She sure cares about the boy and was worried that he wasn't there anymore, but I feel it would make more sense that she'd act that way if it's her own son, rather than just a manifestation.
Well I tried to wrap my head around it a bit, right now we don't have all the pieces of the puzzle,so it's kinda hard to come up with a definite answer.
And sorry if I sounded definite in my first post, I was simply thinking about that possiblity, it wasn't in anyway an elaborate answer. Just me caught in my thought process.
Well I tried to wrap my head around it a bit, right now we don't have all the pieces of the puzzle,so it's kinda hard to come up with a definite answer. And sorry if I sounded definite in my first post, I was simply thinking about that possiblity, it wasn't in anyway an elaborate answer. Just me caught in my thought process.
I think the panels are too small to tell whether he takes on an astral form or not. Could be, or his corporeal self could also be traveling through the astral world, which would make sense given the whole Fantasia thing.
Ehhhh, I don't buy the Elfhelm connexion Schierke pulled out of her hat. It makes sense from her perspective, but there are way too many things associating the boy to Griffith for it to be an elf matter in my opinion. Besides, that would establish the king's reach as enormous and make it weird that the group had to travel to Elfhelm while the boy came to them before they even got to Vritannis. Plus when the boy leaves the ship in episode 331, he goes in the other direction, not towards Elfhelm (unless the Sea Horse is dramatically off course). There's more but basically it doesn't hold water to me.
However there's one unexplained thing about the boy that we didn't mention and it's what sticks out the most in the current theory as far as I'm concerned: the fact his power comes without evil. He doesn't make the Brand bleed, and Schierke doesn't feel evil in his Od. That's the bigger mystery to me, assuming his power is somehow tied to that of Femto. Maybe the Beherit Apostle made his wish (to be a real boy, of course) come true in this "perfect world" of his. ;)
I know it's tempting to get bogged down in the logistics of how and why, but I think the fundamental piece to understanding this phenomenon is recalling what happened back on the Hill of Swords. When the child took control of Griffith's body momentarily to protect Casca, that is likely in essence what's happening with the boy, on a grander scale. Through the power of the full moon, he can do more than merely momentarily control the body. He can reach out across the planet in a form suitable to rejoining his family and protect his parents.
Particularly since her reaction to the boy aligns perfectly to her reaction with the demon child previously. For it to have been the elf king's avatar posing as their son all along would end up being quite an awkward betrayal, regardless of the intent. It just doesn't sound natural at all, to me.
We don't have all the pieces, it's true. But I think the theory Aaz came up with 9 years ago is pretty sound, and has withstood the test of time and the slow release of additional information along the way.
You mean like an astral projection? That actually complicates things. The boy has form and weight. Also, he astrally projects himself to rescue Guts from the sea god. Furthermore if he were a projection, Zodd wouldn't need to be around the rocky cliffs outside Vritannis (the boy also leaves during that time by climbing up a rocky cliff), presumably ferrying him back and forth, before the World Spiral Tree provided a more efficient form of travel. If you're proposing he creates an entirely new body every full moon, well, what allegiance would Zodd have to him?I'm not saying we know 100% how this all works, but I've yet to encounter a more convincing alternative, given all the wrinkles present.
The actual way in which the boy manifests in regard to Griffith has always been the biggest unknown, and the part we have least speculated about aside from the idea he might just transform. There are numerous ways in which it might occur that would work with the information we already have.
I agree, I was just proposing one alternative way that could also possibly work (based on other media I've seen) in addition to the Griffith physically transforming in the Moonlight Boy method/theory.
It could also just be that we're seeing him from the astral POV in that shot to emphasize the nature of that travel
Sure, let's not let three pages worth of exposition from one of the most knowledgeable characters in the series affect an unassailable** theory! <(I get no respect.)
While I agree Schierke's working with incomplete information, I certainly don't think her perspective should be ignored.
Again, pretty heady and thought-provoking stuff however we interpret it
given the source there's no reason to think the King of the Flower Storm couldn't have a hand in the boy's fate, which isn't mutually exclusive with the aforementioned connection to Griffith. [...] what if the King was using his ability to "decipher time-transgressive fates and to use the truth of hidden secrets, transcending space" to allow the spirit of Casca's actual son to "be a messenger," despite otherwise being tethered to the evilest man on the planet? Sounds exactly like the kind of powers that would make that possible for the Elf King to arrange.
It's also not like Miura to throw out a lot of misleading information or red herrings
or he's using it to [...] give us more info on the King of the Flower Storm (still, he could have done that any time, and without directly linking the boy to the King).
That's one of the things I like about the idea of the boy not literally being a manifestation or transformation of Griffith's physical form. It wouldn't be much different from how the demon child used to appear to Guts and Casca before, except now he's somehow purified or reborn himself.
Anyway, Daiba expects them to be out of danger once they take off, and is surprised to see that "the crumpled rug can fly".
That comment feels disingenuous and opportunitistic, especially considering you're the first to agree she doesn't have the full picture, and are simultaneously ready to not let hundreds of pages of astral/physical exposition get in the way of determining what's probable or not in the story...
It's a very cool line, but personally it didn't fundamentally change my perception of the character. We already knew from the Skull Knight and Schierke that the King of the Flower Storm was incredibly powerful. Now we have some details about possible abilities ("it is said" that "some of the elves" can sense possible futures and travel through astral shortcuts), but the real heavy stuff is yet to come.
Actually, Schierke is clearly not sure of herself in those two pages; she's guessing. And I'm not convinced it isn't mutually exclusive. Schierke's eventual guess is that the boy is the King of the Flower Storm himself, and that doesn't seem to be the case to me.
Also, the specific powers she describes don't sound to me like they could allow the Elf King to split the Moonlight Boy apart from Griffith, a member of the God Hand.
And it's not what she's hinting at either, she just thinks the Elf King could be appearing in front of them to help them. In that regard, her hypothesis is completely wrong.
Finally, he'd be a strange messenger considering all he seems to care about is being with his parents.
Easy for you to say, you haven't spent the last 10 years explaining to people that no, Guts is not the Falcon of Darkness.
And I'd say the only misleading information would be Schierke's guess, since everything else points in the direction of the Griffith connexion.
I don't think seeing a panel of Griffith standing in presence of the full moon casts any doubt on the connexion between him and the boy.
As a reminder, Griffith was not "reborn" out of thin air.Femto was incarnated into a new vessel: the boy's body. That's why it makes sense for them to share said body.
A question (maybe answered) : You explain, rats and snakes distract Rakshas, Just distract or afraid Rakshas ? It's not easy to see in the picture if the animals "tickle" Rakshas or enter inside his blacksuit ...
I agree with Griffith to keep a skeptical view, the Moonlight boy theory on principle. It's still an incredibly strong theory, and I think it's more than likely to be correct, but Miura might take us a different direction.
He's done it before with Ganishka's apostle form
It's ripe for conflict if killing Griffith means killing his son.
and Rakshas's whereabouts after the merging of the worlds.
On a side note, after re-reading this episode, I'm going to double down on my assertion that Rakshas isn't doing much for a long time.
Unless Femto/Griffiths Od IS existing elsewhere at the time... or something, Im just spit balling here. What do you think?
Guts telling a monster to fuck off is a cool line, that was pretty significant, at least to me, even though we already knew the King was powerful before. And while there's certainly more to come, then why doubt his reach or Schierkes academic knowledge of it? Her information on the boy is certainly incomplete, but theres no reason to think shes completely wrong about everything there, especially given her level of expertise (either way it can still inform us about the nature of the boy, such as him perhaps being a similar sort of incarnation, just not the one she thinks). Its also of note since traveling through astral shortcuts seems like precisely what we see the boy doing afterward. Now, this coincidence could be whats leading to her confusion, but its not improbable that there could be a legitimate connection, especially when the idea is being waved in our face (of course just writing that made me suspicious).
I concede that one way or another shes likely wrong somehow, but I guess what Im grasping at is, exactly how, and, why shes wrong and what purpose this information is meant to serve instead if we're not meant to take it at face value. Are we being thrown off the scent, is it setting up something else, another messenger or exposition on the King as we've discussed, or is it only food for thought? I just found it interesting how much the episode went in on that, particularly the dramatic focus on her during that ultimate "revelation" she thinks it could be the King.
Nor do I, not on the connection, but it is instructive to an admittedly minor extent; that he doesn't automatically, involuntarily become the boy in the full moon light. Obviously, the alternative would have been affirming in the extreme, but the absence of that doesn't take anything away from the theory, just leaves some room still for alternatives regarding it.
P.S. Sorry for dragging you into an unnecessary quote post trench war on a subject we actually largely agree on, but I didn't want to seem like I was glossing over or ignoring your points either. Also, if I just nodded along all the time it wouldn't make for much of an interesting conversation on my end. =)

I'd be surprised if he doesn't use the opportunity to tie Griffith to their child in a dramatic way like this. It's ripe for conflict if killing Griffith means killing his son. But on another level, who cares if we see Griffith with a full moon. The theory isn't really contingent on Griffith transforming every full moon. Only that it's his only opportunity to do so. Since Femto's been incarnated in the boys body, how many full moons have there been in world where we don't see the moonlight boy appear? Plenty. Guts was protecting Casca alone for what appears to be weeks after the Hill of Swords and after the rest of the group showed up, it's implied that they've been traveling together for what appears to be months. Perhaps there's another factor to consider as to why the boy appears some times and not others.
Perhaps it's tied to his parents being in grave danger. Perhaps somehow it's tied to Guts wearing the berserker armor and giving off a new Od, as it only started to occur after this point.
On a side note, after re-reading this episode, I'm going to double down on my assertion that Rakshas isn't doing much for a long time. After the snakes and rats get on him, Silat, Daiba, and Rickert hold a full conversation for pages before they hop on the Garuda. I know it was mentioned that this was supposed to take place really quickly, but it sure doesn't appear that way. Maybe I'm missing something in the translation though.
Something I only mention in case people have missed it, but Erika's the one who stops to go get the rocket launcher from the wagon. Clever girl.
For all her amusing moments of panic, she's been courageous with all the the things she's seen and gone through. I imagine she will become much more complementary to Rickert in the future. Looking forward to seeing how capable of a character she turns into.
I have considered that possibility before (Femto being "ousted" from the body for a time), but I find it hard to reconcile with the panel of the boy's astral form in episode 327. Beyond that, there's also a certain coldness to his demeanor that I feel connects him to Griffith. Still, like I said before, this is the one part we really don't have any clues about, so... could be.
However, how does that explain the fact Casca is actually the one who comes to find the boy everytime? Both on the beach and on the island, she came to him as soon as he appeared... Feeling him in her Brand, like she's always done since he was born. And how did he travel to the beach before the World-Spiral Tree (that stands right next to Falconia and that Femto made happen) came to be? And then it means Zodd was just there as a coincidence, and didn't act because...? I think her interpretation just has too many inconsistencies. And while the idea that the King of the Flower Storm could act like a catalyst in the appearance of the boy is interesting, I feel like it's not directly supported by what she says in those pages because she doesn't account for the Griffith factor.
First off, I do believe it serves as a bit of a diversion regarding the boy, if only because the careful reader will have had a clue about him for quite a while by then.
Fourth, I think Schierke's mistake here provides a good reason for them to ask the king about the boy directly, and for him to lay down the truth (or part of it) in return.
I completely agree. It is a clue, even if it doesn't help us much. I actually find it very interesting how it's done too, with Griffith looking in that direction but the reader not being able to tell what it is he's looking at exactly. And the escapees, the moon and the tree branches all being in the same frame... I don't believe Miura did that by coincidence.
I do resent it a bit... I don't have time for this stuff anymore!
Ganishka is a completely different case
It's possible, although it's worth noting that when the boy first appeared, his parents weren't in immediate danger. It only came later on during the night.
I had always hoped Silat would eventually ally with Guts (which may still end up happening), but allying with Rickert and Daiba and then traveling back to their homeland is really exciting.
I hope that at the beginning of the next episode, we will see a short closure to Rakshas failure in assassinating Rickert. It would be nice to see his final thoughts.
Yeah, the way he stares and doesn't completely seem to connect with everyone gives him an alieness like Griffith, though the astral appearance in 327 is interesting because it's almost too coincidental. It makes one associate him even more with Griffith, but beyond that there's not a clear reason his astral form should have some aspect of Griffith in it beyond coincidental resemblance. It's actually problematic as we're discussing, but yet there it is. I wonder if it's just purely a signal to the audience with no practical explanation like Griffith's od being mixed with the boy's, or does it mean the boy can completely suppress and contain his evil? That'd be a pretty big deal.
Not directly, no, but a lot of what we know about the boy is indirect and deciphered by reading into things unseen (almost by the forces they exert and that are exerted on them in the story; it's the equivalent of studying distant galaxies in Berserk theory terms =).
I wouldn't mind either if the King of the Flower Storm was something of an oddball.
To bring it full circle on the question of their ods and add a little more speculation... would Griffith let them go under other circumstances, or was it a bad case of moonlight boy toxoplasmosis affecting him? It makes sense that the boy could interfere with and influence Griffith beyond his body (we've really already seen it). Can the boy fundamentally soften Griffith and his evil, even stifle it as the boy might be doing when he's out in the moonlight? Is the boy a weakness, or potentially a redeemer? ... That's right, this has all been building to another Griffith "Griffith Redemption" theory!
I was wondering though, if they are really out of danger. Judging from the last panel they are still within Falconia.
And I am just curious regarding Rakasha intention of using his claws, from what I can see his brute strength could easily rip a horse apart, I wonder why is there a need for claws to split erica's body.
It could be interpreted a few different ways. Pushing our theoretical knowledge of the Berserk world to its limits, it's not impossible that two souls could share more than a corporeal body, with the boy's body of light reflecting that. Since the evil is bound to the soul, it could work. More vaguely, it's also possible that at some point the boy took something from Griffith on the astral level, which would explain his "superior being" status and also that fleeting resemblance at that specific moment. Either way I don't think Miura left it there merely as a visual clue. To me it's a hint that they're pretty deeply connected.
Actually, I think that comparison is most appropriate for the Idea of Evil.
this just has me geeked for the King himself, the only comparable force sounds like...
Hahaha, no way Griffith will be redeemed. Unless...
Anyway, if we disregard an influence from the boy, I think it could be a case of him just being a passive observer (like he was after the slap). That could work whether he ordered the hit or not (personally I still lean towards him not ordering it for a variety of reasons). Now if the boy is involved, I don't see it being a case similar to what he did in volume 22. The kid seems to just be concerned with his parents, or at least that seems to be the one thing strong enough to make him act. As for whether the boy's influence could lead to deeper changes within Griffith himself... Definitely possible but too early to be sure (and to determine in what way) I think.
However it's still as clear to me as it was 9 years ago that he will be the key to Griffith's downfall.
I'm glad you think so too, we should talk about THAT more! Or has this been enough conjecture about the unknowable? Anyway, the notion of an antithesis of the Idea of Evil is probably about as old as the Idea of Evil, but we actually have a decent candidate now. I cant help but imagine the Flower King as a more passive influence though, more a helpful guide than a puppeteer.
Actually, if not anything so overt as redemption, at least the character is being engaged with these issues again with the promise of more to come. As weve said in the past, Griffith had been rather above it all since the Hill of Swords, until Rickert slapped him back down to earth.
Yeah, at least as far as being an all-powerful God on Earth is concerned. Though, is that more important than the power of
You know, for that matter, IF Griffith is in any way diminished while the moonlight kid is out doing his thing, Rakshas probably knows about it by now, and may have been intentionally trying to take advantage of that to 'get away' with doing something Griffith might not have approved of. Or, Rakshas might have thought that Rickert was getting a pass because of the moonlight kid's sentimental influence, and figured that without it, Griffith wouldn't disapprove of his attack. Or I could be totally wrong and Rakshas just figured Griff wouldn't mind anyway or even if he did, shut up, I'm Rakshas, I do what I want.
The questions that remain for me are to what extent is that control magnified by the full moon? Is griffith completely vulnerable during this occurence? It would certainly explain the need for his army when Griffith himself has shown very little need for protection.
However, the more intriguing question to ask is what counter measures have Griffith taken to protect himself. We already know he is aware of the childs influence but could he actually be relinquishing control to gain an advantage. The fact that the child does not omit any evil could be useful to Griffith if he intended on destroying elfhelm. Perhaps he is trying to find a way to rid himself of the childs influence all together. For every bit of clarity given to us throughout this story a 100 more questions arise.
You know, for that matter, IF Griffith is in any way diminished while the moonlight kid is out doing his thing, Rakshas probably knows about it by now, and may have been intentionally trying to take advantage of that to 'get away' with doing something Griffith might not have approved of.
Now comes the question: what is the moonlight boy capable of? Either if he takes control of Griffith's body or goes by himself, what is to expect from him? His feelings could become sometime (I'm speculating here) a weakness to Griffith alright. But how further could this vessel go?

UPDATE: The last perfect bracket is is no longer perfect after Dayton beat Syracuse.
Warren Buffett's billion-dollar bracket challenge is over.
There are no perfect brackets left in the pool, Quicken Loans announced on Friday night.
There is one guy who still has a perfect NCAA Tournament bracket on Yahoo, but he didn't enter it into the Buffett challenge.
His name is Brad Binder, Yahoo says, and he picked all 32 1st-round games right.
He entered his bracket in three different Yahoo-hosted pools, but not the the billion dollar challenge.
It's possible that he was under the assumption that simply entering a bracket on Yahoo automatically entered it into the Buffett challenge. But that is not the case.
He said on Twitter that he did his bracket in five minutes:
For the love of the bracket guys, did it for the love of the bracket — Brad Binder (@Brad_Binder_) March 22, 2014
Can everyone just relax and stop analyzing this? I really did my picks in about 5 minutes lol — Brad Binder (@Brad_Binder_) March 22, 2014
To hell with Quicken Loans, I'll get my billion back with H&R Block — Brad Binder (@Brad_Binder_) March 22, 2014
He has Oregon in the Final Four, so this probably won't remain perfect for long.
But still, poor Brad:

Oreo cookies provide April Fools' Day fun.
I must admit I've never been a fan of April Fools' Day. The element of surprise does not excite me, especially when it interrupts my work or thought process. However, I couldn't resist sharing the following prank designed to catch your kids off guard.
When preparing an after school snack on April Fools' Day, you can rely on the traditional Oreo cookie to lend a helping hand. Gently twist the cookies apart and remove the cream filling with a knife. Replace the filling with white toothpaste and reassemble the cookies. Arrange the cookies on a serving plate and place it on the kitchen counter. When the kids arrive home after school, watch the element of surprise as they bite into their mouth-watering snack!

Let me advertise an application that has just appeared on Android Market.
Why? Because I was the Android programmer on this project working in cooperation with the designers of Foreca, a Finland-based weather forecast company. As you may remember, I am aesthetically challenged so the good looks of this application are all due to the thorough polishing of the Foreca guys. Foreca's vast weather network makes this application handy anywhere in the world. Weather stations can be selected by incrementally searching list or from a map, the application even finds the current location. Locations can be favourited and Foreca offers 10 days of detailed forecast. There is a widget too.

Also, I'm typing this post with my forehead, so you'll have to excuse any typos. Michigan has now pulled in seven (SEVEN!!!!!!!) recruits in less than 36 hours, as Pickerington (OH) North TE Jake Butt just announced his pledge to the Wolverines after visiting Ann Arbor yesterday. Michigan now has ten total recruits in the class of 2013—nine of them consensus four-star types—and their last two both came from Pickerington (Central's Taco Charlton being the other).
|24/7 Sports
#96 Ovr
150 Watch List
Butt is a highly-regarded prospect as both a tight end and defensive end, but the coaches have told him he'll be a TE at Michigan. He's a four-star to every site but Scout, who hasn't released extensive rankings yet, and a top-100 prospect on Rivals. The general consensus on Butt is that he stands at 6'6" and around 220-230 pounds, giving him a great frame for tight end.
Most evaluations of Butt, especially from his sophomore year and last summer, focus on his ability as a defensive end, but I did dig up a few that looked at his ability on offense. Here's Josh Helmholdt breaking down Butt's game tape ($):
The first thing you notice when turning on the tape is his frame. He is a lean 6-6 and 220 pounds and very athletic for his size. The Pickerington North staff uses him all over the field. On defense he'll play with his hand in the ground, or drop back and cover a slot receiver. On offense he can be tight to the formation and used to block or split out as a wide receiver ... he is a natural pass catcher and his speed is above average for the tight end position. He also shows great competency and willingness as a blocker. Butt is an outstanding defender and could be a big-time rush end in college, but at this stage I like his upside at tight end a little better. He has the size to block in the run game and the athleticism to be a major threat in the passing game.
Butt has the versatility to line up as a tradition tight end, H-back, or split wide, and he told me last week that the coaches plan on using him in multiple roles. With Khalid Hill committed in the class as more of an H-back, expect Butt to be the more traditional tight end in this class, playing down on the line. Allen Trieu had this to say about Butt in a Sam Webb profile at the Detroit News:
"Jake is an athletic kid with a great frame," Trieu said. "He still has to add more weight and strength to his game, but he runs well for a kid of that size and is a very coordinated athlete. On offense he catches the ball well, his height makes him a matchup problem, and his athleticism allows him to create separation. At the same time, Jake is one of those rare kids who I think projects very well to both sides of the ball. I think he's a BCS prospect on both sides of the ball. For most schools it sounds like he's a defensive end right now, but a handful see him as a tight end too."
Tim Sullivan (YTTS) says that Butt's "6-6, 230-pound frame is more than adequate for the position, and he has good hands and the ability to make plays after the catch." Jake gave his own self-assessment in the above Webb article:
"I have my size, athleticism, and I don't take a single play for granted," Butt said, confidently. "You're going to get the best from me every single play. You can't teach height, so I'm going to give that to the team. As a tight end, if the ball's thrown to me and it hits my hands, it's not touching the ground. It's a catch! On defense if it's third and long and it's a pass rush situation, I'm not going to get blocked by my opponent."
Like his Pickerington counterpart Charlton, Butt is a standout basketball player; as we've seen with NFL tight ends like Tony Gonzalez, Antonio Gates, and Jimmy Graham, having a hoops background helps with athleticism, body control, and hands. Combine those qualities with a relentless motor and a willingness to mix it up in the trenches, and you've got a very good tight end prospect.
Butt chose Michigan over offers from Boston College, Duke, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee, UCLA, Wisconsin, and a host of MAC schools. He also had interest from Ohio State—the school he grew up supporting—and Notre Dame, where his grandfather played football.
Butt had 27 catches for 427 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior, while also amassing ten sacks and 17.5 TFLs as a defensive end.
24/7 lists him at a 4.70, which I'll give a two FAKEs out of five.
This short reel from ScoutingOhio is the only embeddable junior highlight video right now, but you get to see Jake make a couple nice catches and lower the boom while blocking:
Rivals has a longer junior highlight tape, and there are also sophomore highlights of Butt playing DE.
Butt is the type of impact, all-around tight end that Michigan couldn't land in the 2012 class, when they brought in a pair of (quite different) tweeners in Devin Funchess and A.J. Williams. Given his well-rounded skill set and the fact that he has over a year to add weight before getting on campus, Butt should compete for immediate playing time at tight end. He can fill multiple roles—Michigan has both a "U" tight end (off the ball) and a "Y" tight end (on the line), and Butt could conceivably play either spot, though I expect he'll spend more time on the line if he's paired with Funchess or Hill.
Butt's potential is probably the highest of any of Michigan's tight end recruits from the past couple of classes, and in an offense that plans to use the position more extensively moving forward, he has the chance to compete for postseason honors down the road. Given the lack of depth at tight end, Butt could easily be a three-year starter at the position.
With Butt and Hill in the fold, Michigan is likely done recruiting tight ends for 2013 unless a player like Adam Breneman—who seems to be more focused on Penn State and Ohio State—decides to come calling. Even then, it could be tough to fit in a third TE to a class that should have 20-22 players, especially with ten spots already accounted for.
Also, wow. That is all.

The Shoo Fly Special• July 21, 2004 Share:
"Hey, do you go to Wabash?"
Cavanaugh realized the man had glimpsed Sean's Wabash sweatshirt. He and Sean introduced themselves to Harold Miner, Wabash Class of 1946 and the oldest entrant in a sled race that has become a Steamboat Springs tradition.
At the end of each ski season, dozens bring hastily-though-creatively-crafted sleds to compete in the Cardboard Classic.
"I thought you might enjoy seeing some photos of Harold racing at Steamboat," Rick said when he emailed these shots to us. "He made it down the hill in his Shoo Fly Special in one of the faster times. Some Little Giant!"
