i'm 49 years old and a 5 handicap with a driver swing speed is 100 - 105.
I love my 910 D2, 10.5, with the Diamana 'ilima shaft.
I then bought the same shaft for my 910H 21 degree hybrid. However, I'm constantly hooking the ball.
I also have the Graphite Design YS 6+ in my 906 15 degree 3-wood and 904 19 degree 5-wood. I can easily hook these also.
I'm looking for a new shaft for the 3 wood, 5 wood, and hybrid.
Any thoughts?
Thank you,
I know your pain...Yout lose distance by playing a shaft which is TOO soft....consider going to to a STIFF shaft or even X-flex shaft. You will not lose as much distance as you think, plus you will gain consistecy and FAIRWAYS...the most important stat! I will bet money an X-flex will help you out...Everyone says X-flex is for pros...B.S., X-flex works for me, Diamana 73g X-flex, for a 910 D2 101 swing speed, average is the bomb. The 910 D2 spins WAAAY too much!! Confirm w/ Titlest Staff experts......no argument!
Everybody please understand a couple of things -- 1) not all shafts, heads, clubs do the same thing for every player. Most of the time we ( professional club fitters) can explain why but sometimes we can't. But if you shots are being measured on a launch monitor outdoors hitting from real grass using Pro V golf balls...then that is all the proof we need.
2) Most good fitters do not charge for fitting if you buy clubs from them. Or they might charge about the price of a lesson. Which is well worth it considering all the questions I see here on the TT site. And also how much you may spend on clubs.
3) It is BEST to get fitted by a good instructor that can help you with the decision of " change the club or my swing".

Brett PorathDirector of Golf Club Fitting
well said!
I dont think so Steve.... we'll call you Steve on the Ball... heck two identical clubs can feel and play differently. But i do believe the shaft is the heart of the club and well worth the price to be properly fitted. And I mean heads and swings matched to the shaft.

It is not always the amount of details that makes a good wallpaper. Sometimes, a simple yet unique idea (in this case to find a certain screenshot from an anime) can create a lovely wallpaper for Valentine's day. popiahime's "Pikachu's Valentine" is funny to look at (I totally love the bottle's design!), and it composes a sweet design for people's desktops. Even though I'm not a big fan of white backgrounds, this one fits really well to the composition and the rest of the colours.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Every day, dozens of children in Greenbrook East strap on their bicycle helmets and pedal off to school or to a friend's house.
And every day, dozens of parents in Greenbrook East cringe when they see their children veer off into the street. With construction at a standstill, 83 lots throughout the Banks, Preserve and Ravines remain untouched; and with each unfinished lot also comes a large gap in the sidewalk.
But several months ago, Lakewood Ranch developer Schroeder-Manatee Ranch unveiled a plan to alleviate the problem. SMR agreed to front about $108,000 in construction costs to help fill in the sidewalks gaps in front of the 83 unsold lots in Greenbrook East.
In return, a $1,404.38 assessment would be filed and charged to each lot's owner. The owners would then be required to pay back the assessments when taxes are due next year rather than when the individual lots are sold, said Andy Cohen, Lakewood Ranch Community Development District 4 Attorney.
During a public hearing May 21, CDD 4 supervisors listened as Bruce Williams Homes President Britt Williams, who owns 22 of the 83 unsold lots, opposed the proposed assessments. In the struggling economy, Williams said the $31,000 in assessments the company would have to pay in a year would be difficult for his company to manage.
"The assessment is a tough number to swallow in these tough times," Williams said, citing increased maintenance costs, drainage issues and other unintended consequences.
Rather than put in sidewalks, Williams offered the board three alternatives to help alleviate the problem while also helping to reduce costs. The alternatives include: shell paths, which would cost SMR $27,000 as opposed to $108,000, placing sidewalks throughout half of the community at a cost of $37,000 or a combination of the first two alternatives, placing a shell path throughout half of the community.
After listening to Williams' suggestions, the CDD 4 board decided to continue the public hearing until its June 11 meeting to see if there is a way to extend payment of the assessments passed one year.
Although several supervisors noted that their main concern is still their residents.
"I have some empathy and sympathy for the builders, but my first priority is the neighbors and the neighborhoods," CDD 4 Supervisor Michael Griffin said.
"Our commitment is to the neighborhood and the people of Greenbrook, and I think anything other than cement sidewalks is not in the best interest of our neighbors," CDD 4 Chairwoman Anne Fischer added.

• The CDD 1 Board of Supervisors agreed to transfer $39,000 from the hardscape fund to the contingency fund for the replacement of mailboxes in Summerfield Glenn, Pines, Crest and Strand. The board originally intended to replace all of the mailboxes in Summerfield east of Lakewood Ranch Boulevard; however only the northern half will be completed this year with the southern half, including Riverwalk, to be completed next year.
• Operations Director Ryan Heise noted that Garden Leaders, the landscaping company for district 1, did not receive a passing score by OLM and will not receive its 25% performance bonus as a result.
• The United States Postal Service recently left a note on its blue full-size mailbox at the corner of Summerfield Boulevard and Lakewood Ranch Boulevard, stating that the box would be removed due to a lack of use. "That's ludicrous," CDD 1 Supervisor Phyllis Troy said. "This will not be acceptable." The CDD 1 Board agreed to draft a letter to the post office and encouraged residents to do so as well.
• CDD 1 Supervisor Jean Stewart noted that 14 boys were apprehended by the Manatee County Sheriff's Office for running out in front of cars in Greenbrook.
• The CDD 2 and 5 boards approved a motion to each pay $56,000 for the completion of the Legacy gatehouse project. The project is expected to cost $123,429.

"Oz: The Great and Powerful" star James Franco at the film's Feb. 13 premiere in Hollywood. (Jason Kempin / Getty Images / February 13, 2013) |
What a difference a year makes.
On March 9, 2012, Walt Disney Pictures released "John Carter," the sci-fi adventure film that promptly bombed, taking in about $40 million en route to a $73-million domestic gross that precipitated the resignation of Walt Disney Studios Chairman Rich Ross.
But with the $80.3-million domestic opening of Disney's "Oz: The Great and Powerful," which unfurled Friday, the studio has a hit that appears to have plenty of life left in it.
"We are happy that the movie seemed to land with audiences -- and a broad spectrum of the audience," Sean Bailey, head of production at Walt Disney Studios, said in an interview Sunday morning. "We are pleased families seemed to turn out and the general audience seemed to turn out and enjoy the movie."
PHOTOS: Scenes from 'Oz the Great and Powerful'
Costing roughly $235 million -- slightly less than "John Carter," which had a budget of $250 million -- the 3-D film is billed as a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," the beloved 1939 film made at MGM and now owned by Disney's rival Warner Bros.
Bringing the story by screenwriters Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire to the big screen required some finesse. The Disney film, adapted from public domain "Oz" books by L. Frank Baum, does not include familiar elements of the 1939 film such as Dorothy and her famous ruby slippers.
"On this one, we know there were these iconic Baum books and there is the iconic musical and the iconic movie -- certainly we talked a lot about that in terms of what angle and what direction we would take," Bailey said. "It is encouraging to see those decisions line up with an audience."
In recent years, several of Disney's biggest hits, such as Marvel Studios' $1.5-billion-grossing "The Avengers" and animated Pixar fare, have been generated by production companies acquired by the studio. But in"Oz" Disney has an important homegrown hit, just a few months before the studio's big-budget remake of "The Lone Ranger" opens in July.
VIDEO REVIEW: 'Oz the Great and Powerful'
So far, "Oz," which stars James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz, has opened in 81% of international markets. It has not yet started playing in the potentially lucrative markets of China and France.
Disney also will look to extend "Oz's" success with lines of branded toys, makeup and apparel available at a variety of stores, including Toys R Us, Sephora and Bloomingdale's.
When asked whether an "Oz" theme park ride or other projects could be in the offing, Bailey would say only that the company will look to expand the film's brand in ways "that are appropriate and beneficial to Disney and our audience" and that "there are no concrete plans at this time."
There is, however, a sequel in the works. Disney has already begun preliminary work on the "Oz" follow-up with Kapner, Bailey said. "We are trying to expand the world again."

This 10th Missing the Target report (MTT10) focuses on challenges to the scale-up of HIV services as required to implement the Treatment 2.0 framework. That framework refers to an initiative developed and proposed in June 2010 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) that aims to "catalyse the next phase of HIV treatment scale-up through promoting innovation and efficiency gains."
Briefing paper produced by Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders) that oulines the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal being negotiated between the U.S. and ten other Pacific nations.
PEPFAR has made anti-retroviral treatment (ART) available for many people, including sex workers. However, PEPFAR funding contracts with organisations specify that a certain amount of this money be spent on abstinence programming. Contracts include a clause that the organisation accepting funding is opposed to prostitution. This has been called the 'anti-prostitution pledge' or 'anti-prostitution loyalty oath'.
The criminalisation of sex workers' clients is often claimed to be part of a new legal framework to eradicate sex work and trafficking by 'ending demand'. In 1999, Sweden criminalised sex workers' clients and maintained the criminalisation of third parties such as brothel-owners, managers, security and support staff. The individual selling of sex remained legal. This model is frequently referred to as the 'Swedish', 'Nordic' or 'End Demand' model. There is great pressure in many countries to advance such legal and policy measures. The damaging consequences of this model on sex workers' health, rights and living conditions are rarely discussed.
The conflation of trafficking and migration with sex work, in law and practice, presents challenges to NSWP.
This NSWP briefing paper explains how sex work is conflated with trafficking; the legal framework; how demand for sex work is conflated with trafficking; the dangers of conflating trafficking with sex work, its impacts on sex workers' lives and work; the impact on sex worker programming; and offers some recommendations for policy makers, donors and for civil society.

Summary: Suzuki is a troubled boy. He's lived with uncaring foster parents for most of his life, alienated from the other kids at his school, owner of a cynical, unhappy mentality. Komatsuzaki is a violent, unpredictable bully whose head trauma causes him to act in mysterious, inexplicable ways. Arakawa is a no-nonsense, normal girl who pines after Komatsuzaki but can never have him. A teacher with just one working eye. A mother who committed suicide. A daughter in an endless coma. Attempted rapes, murders, extortion, sexual deviance, and a freakish explosion in the butterfly population. All of these elements are whirled together in a story spanning 10 years, a tale of blackness, pain and apocalypse. And maybe just a bit of hope and redemption. It's a spiritual cross between the misanthropic suburban malevolence of Kyoko Okazaki's Rivers Edge and the eerie mysticality of Donnie Darko.

because nobody is locked for smoking a joint,
could I say I was smoking as a form of protest, because doing it in a form of protest makes it legal.I have given this example before; can you walk into a synagogue dressed exactly like they were, not sing anything (the video is dubbed over, the guitar not plugged, etc, etc), just yell and make fun of the people there to practice their faith and expect to walk free.

The Pussy Riot punk group singers, who have been found guilty by the Khamovnichesky Court in Moscow, were motivated by hatred and religious enmity, the court verdict says.
"The Pussy Riot singers colluded under unestablished circumstances, for the purpose of offensively violating public peace in a sign of flagrant disrespect for citizens," the court said in a verdict being pronounced on Friday.
The women were motivated by religious enmity and hatred, and acted provocatively and in an insulting manner inside a religious building in the presence of a large number of believers," the court said.
The court also has found that the Pussy Riot activists realized that their actions during the "punk prayer" in the Cathedral of Christ the Savior were insulting and intended to communicate information on the stunt to a broad range of believers.
"Intending to make the planned actions public and ensure that they drew public response, to draw the attention of the public to their illegal actions, and to communicate the expressed disrespect not only to the clergy and people in the church, but also to other citizens who were not present in the church at the time [of the punk prayer], but shared Orthodox traditions, Samutsevich, Tolokonnikova, Alyokhina, and their unidentified accomplice informed various media assistants and active bloggers on their action," the sentence read in the Khamovnichesky Court on Friday says.

Unique Funding Opportunities
The Lakeland College women's basketball team can play its way into the Northern Athletics Conference Tournament if it can defeat Milwaukee School of Engineering tonight at 7 p.m. in Milwaukee in its final regular season game.
The Muskies (11-13 overall, 9-8 conference) are currently one-half game behind Edgewood College for a tie for fourth in the NAC North Division. However, Lakeland will win a tiebreaker over Edgewood with a win, as the two teams split their regular season meeetings but the Muskies swept both games against NAC North runner-up Maranatha Baptist Bible College this year, giving them the better record against a top divisional opponent.
Should Lakeland qualify for the conference tourney, it will likely be as the No. 8 seed of eight teams. Rockford (Ill.) College currently is in the fourth and final tourney spot out of the NAC North and would need to lose tonight to 1-15 Dominican (Ill.) University, while Aurora (Ill.) University would need to beat unbeaten Wisconsin Lutheran College tonight to tie Rockford for fourth. Rockford defeated Lakeland 70-61 on Jan. 19.
Wisconsin Lutheran has clinched the top seed in the tourney, which begins Saturday with quarterfinal games at campus sites. NAC North champion Concordia University Wisconsin has wrapped up the second seed and Maranatha Baptist is the No. 3 seed, with the remaining seeds all still to be decided tonight.
The Muskies defeated MSOE 83-42 back on Nov. 24. The Raiders are 2-21 overall this year, 2-15 in the NAC. A live broadcast of tonight's game including live audio and video will be available from MSOE's athletics website at http://msoe.edu/athletics/broadcasts.shtml.

...talks about how UConn hasn't been in contact and how they're out. (HT: UMHoops)
2013 outback bowl
Dot Dot Dot
1/1/2012 – Michigan 28, South Carolina 33 – 8-5, EOS
Well, it's over.
A confession: before yesterday I had attended one bowl game in my life, that the 2007 Rose Bowl in which Michigan was tied 3-3 with USC at halftime and got their doors blown off in the second half when Pete Carroll told his OC to stop running the ball, period. That was crushing despite the inevitability of the loss once Michigan's severe lack of corner depth was put to the test.
This game was far closer to even—South Carolina was in fact one yard better than M before their final drive, one which almost didn't get off the ground—and yet by the time I exited the stadium I was pretty much over it. This was weird for all sorts of reasons, foremost among them a sense that I would have cared more if I had watched it on TV. As the game reached its frenetic pitch I did reconnect, to my relief. Still, it took a lot to recover from finding out Michigan had been designated Team Coconut Shrimp, or something. There's just not that much difference between four and five losses.
In retrospect this season lost its urgency the moment Denard's elbow banged the Memorial Stadium turf and Michigan's offense died in Lincoln. That game staked the Huskers to a lead they would not relinquish no matter how they tried. Michigan was reduced to playing out the string without Senior Hero at quarterback, without a shot at the Big Ten championship, without the storybook ending every Michigan fan entered the year pining for.
There were moments of vitality when it looked like Nebraska might blow it, but Michigan wasn't playing those games. By the time the bowl rolled around it was exhibition time, with little on the line other than a few spots in a poll that would have Michigan 15th at best. A starting cornerback and the punter confirmed that analysis by violating team rules and being left home.
I went to see Denard for a last time, and ended up squinting to make sure he wasn't Vincent Smith. He ran 23 times, picked up 100 yards, ground out 4.8 yards a carry, and reminded me of that picture of Mike Hart in a Colts uniform Johnny put up in a post, where Hart looked old—erosion old—and like he was doing something as a job. It took about 20 open tabs to find it, but yeah.
I think Johnny was maybe projecting his own thought processes onto Hart a little when he wrote this…
But he's more mechanical now; he doesn't smile like he used to, he isn't as self-indulgent. His cuts aren't as risky – more just graceful, cautious lunges. He's a professional now, measured and stoic and less eccentric. He looks stronger, and too focused. It used to just be a playful resentment for the institution, but now he seems like he respects it. It's like the NFL has tranquilized him.
…because I know that Denard hasn't changed much since he made everyone laugh and caused me to bolt upright when he ran through two Ohio State tackles at the end of the first half of The Game.
It is the end, though, and Denard looks like this
and I'm a little disoriented. This season was not supposed to end with Peter Pan becoming an accountant.
He was good. He seemed like a plausible NFL running back once he learns how to block. He joins LSU's Jeremy Hill as the only running back not from Wofford's triple option to crack 100 yards against Clowney and company. For him there is still a lot at stake, and yesterday was important. It is a fine career that awaits him.
But I just keep thinking of that throw he made, and what it represented. How those moments where he'd go to the sideline holding his hand built up and finally washed over the levee. If his arm had held up, or Rich Rodriguez had recruited some OL, or Devin Gardner had stayed at quarterback… if.
That's a burden now: what if Denard dot dot dot. Instead of an exclamation point, we end with an ellipses. Unspoken thoughts, trailing off. Re-carving a rock-hard past into something more pleasing. What could have been, etc.
I don't understand why I felt disconnected. I guess it was because this thing I was at was not what I thought it would be, and for once someone managed to keep Denard from obliterating all doubt.
Well okay. No real complaints about Borges this time around, but it was really odd how South Carolina reacted to the Denard plays at QB, all predictable runs save the attempted screen. They still dropped a safety 20-30 yards deep, sometimes two guys at 15 yards, and while they tended to blitz they did not sell out like Ohio State did in the second half, even after Denard's lame duck of a throw.
I'm still a little disappointed that Denard wasn't used more as an attention-grabbing decoy. Despite that Michigan had a solid day on offense that would have verged on excellent if Gardner's accuracy had been better.
Speaking of…
Wither Northwestern/Iowa Devin? With five games under his belt I think we can say that Gardner's accuracy leaves a bit to be desired. The Minnesota game was effective but shaky; he blew through Northwestern and Iowa, and now he's had a couple of games where some bad decisions and awkward throws hurt him against quality defenses.
In this one he hit 18 of 36 for 214 yards, 3 TDs, and an interception. 5.9 YPA is poor. There were throws to make there, and he just missed them. He made up for that with a couple scrambles, I guess.
WR corps 2013: not a problem maybe? Jeremy Gallon may be small in stature, but he is his own imaginary 11-foot-tall friend made of dreams. This is not quite the rocket boots touchdown from the Minnesota game, but I mean come on pretty nice:
Meanwhile, his other touchdown came on a post route on which he got open one-on-one a play after he smoked that same corner crispy on a corner route that Gardner actually threw a split second too early, before Gallon had even made his break. The TD:
Gardner trusts the guy to get open, that's clear.
His 9 catches and 145 yards push him up to 49 and 825 on the year, which is impressive production given that he caught a lot of screens that would normally make achieving a 16.8 YPC impossible and that the quarterbacking for much of the year was erratic.
Gallon's season totals are now in a virtual dead heat with Kenny Bell and Jared Abbrederis for second in the league behind thousand-yard-guy Allen Robinson of Penn State, and he made an array of tough catches without more than a drop or two all season.
As a senior is he a quality #1 option? I think the answer there is clearly yes. Take his production in the Gardner era and extrapolate it across as season and you get 81 catches for 1329 yards—ie, one of the top ten receivers in the country.
I'll be interested to see what his yards per target is if Football Study Hall updates those numbers that showed Junior Hemingway was probably the most underrated player at Michigan in a long time. While Gallon's small stature doesn't hurt him in the UFR catch numbers, the simple fact that he's not 6'4" turns balls that Devin Funchess could nab easily into uncatchable zeroes. I think he'll come out well—last year he was top five in yards per target with a per-catch average of 14.6.
Add in Dileo—an excellent underneath option—with a maturing Funchess and you only need one of Darboh/Chesson to step up to have a solid set of options.
Nope, but pretty much anyway. Denard bludgeoned out 100 yards on 23 carries as basically a tailback, which was quite good against a quality run defense behind an offensive line that couldn't get anyone else an inch. It, however, dropped Denard's season YPC to 7.2, a tenth behind Ty Wheatley's 1992 campaign. If we take out sacks Robinson suffered he would pop back above Wheatley, but that's not how it looks in the record book.
Of course if we're going to start poking around at sacks we might as well take a larger view. This line versus to Michigan's 1992 outfit featuring future longtime pro Steve Everitt, three other All Big Ten linemen (Joe Cocozzo, Rob Doherty, and Doug Skene) plus future first-round NFL draft pick Trezelle Jenkins*? There is no comparison. Four of those guys were drafted, two in the first round. Lewan will go high and I bet Schofield works his way into mid-round consideration, but there's no comparison between the interior lines.
*[Wikipedia indicates that Jenkins now owns a Harold's Chicken Shack in Ferndale. #themoreyouknow]
Dear future Michigan game schedules,
Please endeavor to exclude South Carolina.
Michigan running backs but especially Thomas Wilcher and Vincent Smith
[South Carolina lost that '85 game 34-3, FWIW.]
On the demolishing. Lewan was frank about what happened. Via Andy Staples:
Meanwhile, Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges had called a Power run to the left side. Wolverines offensive tackle Taylor Lewan -- whose play against Clowney on Tuesday further solidified his place near the top of the NFL draft if he chooses to turn pro -- noticed something amiss about Clowney's alignment. "The end lined up on me in such a gray area that I had to call a Deuce to the inside," Lewan said. Lewan explained that a Deuce call ties the tackle to the guard, and their responsibilities are the lineman nearest the guard and the backside linebacker. By making the Deuce call, Lewan had untied himself from tight end Mike Kwiatkowski, who had anticipated working in tandem with Lewan on the play. Lewan said Kwiatkowski didn't hear the Deuce call, and video replays make that quite obvious. Kwiatkowski fired off the line at an angle that would have been perfect had he and Lewan been working a combo block. But Lewan was working a combo block with guard Ricky Barnum. Clowney, the owner of one of college football's quickest first steps, shot the gap before Kwiatkowski could realize what happened. "He's got that little slip move," Spurrier said. "When they come at him, they get nothing but air." Smith never had a chance. "That miscommunication," Lewan said. "Those are the plays that can lose games."
Just a miscommunication that got Smith decleated—de-everythinged.
Terry Richardson, Delonte Holowell—thanks for playing. Disclaimers about young players improving apply.
That said, Michigan was so opposed to putting those guys on the field that even after four verts blew them to pieces several times in the previous three quarters Michigan still stuck with a nickel package featuring Jarrod Wilson at free safety and Gordon/Kovacs moving down over the slots, with the subsequent events we all know and are slightly depressed about.
Don't click play if you are still depressed.
Kovacs should never have been put in that position, covering South Carolina's leading receiver, and Jarrod Wilson seems super super late—he should not have been on the field.
That's not Kovacs's game, everyone knows that's not his game, there's a reason he was a walk-on, and for Michigan to resort to that indicates that the two small guys from Cass Tech basically can't see the field, period. As a true freshman Richardson still has some hope of finding his way as a nickel corner down the road; as a redshirt sophomore, if Holowell can't see the field in that game he's never going to. Since spring practice Michigan lost four corners (Floyd, Countess, Talbott, Carter) and still not a sniff. Bad news.
Also, WTF was with moving Norfleet then? At least give the guy a chance to be a third down back—Michigan is now in the market for one.
JT Floyd: guh. Michigan wins this game if they can go to the Avery nickel package with confidence; they couldn't because JT Floyd got left home for the final game of his career. I hope it was worth it, man.
Kenny Demens coverage: missed. I assume that Bolden can get there in time, but not all of the seam bustage was on safteies/corner folk. For one, I blame no one on that Ace Sanders touchdown that was in by about a millimeter—that'll happen. On the tight end completion I bet that was a linebacker not carrying that guy. It's still pretty great that Michigan went much of the game with true freshmen at LB and performed very well against the run.
Beyer will win the WDE spot next year. The huge South Carolina QB run was Frank Clark ignoring backside responsibility and chasing a tailback without the ball as two other guys tackled him. This is a full year after he was biffing these things against Scheelhaase; to make a mistake that momentous on a basic, basic play is a good indication that he's just not getting there mentally. If he was making big plays to repair his mistakes, maybe that's one thing, but the pass rush he adds is minimal. If he doesn't figure it out, he's going to fall off the two deep quickly with Ojemudia and Charlton pressing from behind.
Miscellaneous Bits
Oblig. game theory bits. Plenty to chew on in this game.
ONE: Fake field goal on which Dileo runs around and stuff for a first down.
The box score has this a 4th and 6 from the 27; in the stadium they had it 4th and 9. Assuming that Everybody Loves Raymond Stadium was wrong, that's a push according to the Advanced NFL Stats calculator. The break even point is 53%; given how Michigan's fake field goals have gone I'd say that's a coin flip. Since M was down 11 at the time, increasing that variance is probably to your advantage.
TWO: Fake punt on which 9.9 yards is basically a first down, man.
This was fourth and four from the Michigan 37.
Loved this. Michigan was up one with around eight minutes left. If you can go on a drive, rip four or five minutes off the clock, and even get a field goal you've tipped the scales in your direction massively. If you fail, you are in a bit of a bad spot but a South Carolina score allows you time to respond. As it happened, Michigan got the first down (sort of) and still felt the sting of what failure would have been like—then they responded with a touchdown drive. Love Hoke going for the jugular there.
THREE: Unsportsmanlike conduct on South Carolina's second-to-last TD.
My initial instinct was to take the penalty on the two-point conversion (argh), which would have put that at the 18 and all but forced a one-point attempt. South Carolina didn't get it and subsequently kicked from the 20; Michigan got it out slightly over the 35.
I still think the play there is to take it on the two-point conversion, as you're significantly reducing the chance that is successful. That seems well worth the ten yards Michigan picked up.
FOUR: Spurrier is not Ferentz.
Michigan's ultimate demise came on another four verts play on which the seam came wide open as a Michigan seam defender—in this case Jordan Kovacs—got smoked. That was pure OBC, and won them the game.
The setup: South Carolina's kicker was 11 of 15 on the season but had missed a moderate length field goal and had another blocked. They had a timeout left, it was second and ten from the 32, and the Gamecocks had been pounding the seams all day. Spurrier gets Kovacs lined up over Ace Sanders, ballgame. Tip of the cap. This was a game in which both coaches went for the win.
Everyone Hates Raymond Stadium. If you're ever on the fence about going to an Outback Bowl in the future, don't. I imagine the scoreboard situation is going to get repaired in the near future, but until then that stadium has the worst I've ever seen. They're useless. They're tiny, 40% of them are given over to ads during replays, and you can't see anything on them anyway. They're worse—much worse—than the boards Michigan just replaced. It was flabbergasting. I mean, it's an NFL stadium. I hear they're doing fairly well for themselves.
Meanwhile, the stadium itself has an incredibly shallow rise, which means if you're unfortunately positioned in what purports to be a good seat*, you spend large chunks of the game looking around beer vendors or Only Guy In The Section Standing Up Guy. The sidelines are huge; the field is not that far below seat level. The end result is a lot of very bad seats, and not much recourse when you can't figure out what happened immediately.
In addition, the area around the stadium is run-down and amenity-free. There's nothing within walking distance. It is the opposite of stadium districts in Detroit, Denver, Columbus, Minneapolis, Pasadena, etc. Unless it is geographically convenient or your favorite player(s) are entering their last games ever you probably shouldn't go. The guy who makes 800k for running the thing probably deserves it for keeping such a crappy venue high up in the pecking order.
Tampa is everything it's reputed to be, as well. Most Tampa thing: all the police cars advertise their website located at www.tampagov.net.
*[This reminded me of Wrigley, actually. A fan of the blog with access to nice tickets threw us a couple a few years back and I spent literally an entire half-inning looking into the paunch of a beer vendor since Wrigley's rise is minuscule. Vertical stadiums are the best.]
Everyone Hates Adidas. I mean, who could have known that putting light yellow numbers on a white jersey would make it impossible to tell who was who? It's almost as if these uniform stunts aren't well thought out.
I was skeptic in re: guys on message boards proclaiming that Nike was the best and that moving to Adidas was a mistake despite the fact they would give Michigan all of the money. I was wrong.
Two things have finally torn it:
- This uniformz debacle. Completely impossible to tell who was who. Didn't figure out Demens wasn't playing much, if at all, until second half, and that was because twitter was talking about it. I had no idea which DB got burned on the first touchdown until twitter told me, as well. Idiotic.
- Hockey third jerseys. You have to see these in person to fully appreciate how awful they look. It's not just the weaselferret. It's not even sort of the weaselferret. It's that they look like they came straight off the rack from the Walmart replica section.
Once this contract is up Michigan should flee. They will just take whoever offers them more money; after what Underarmour did with Northwestern this year I am rooting my ass off for those guys. Yeah, Maryland, whatever. That's on the AD. If M screws it up as much as the Terrapins we'll know what the problem is.
I'll collect game reacts later; this is tough to do in a day now that it's ballooned into a 5000 word monstrosity.

Punt-Counterpunt: South Carolina
1988: M 28, Alabama 24
Something's been missing from Michigan gamedays since the free programs ceased being economically viable: scientific gameday predictions that are not at all preordained by the strictures of a column in which one writer takes a positive tack and the other a negative one… something like Punt-Counterpunt.
12/30/12 – Dateline: Chattanooga
No two words make a vacation more festive than "Chattanooga, Tennessee." Punt and I settled here last night into a hotel, after a mere 600 miles of driving, abbreviated by two social visits and swirling Kentucky snow. We lulled ourselves to sleep watching Sparty in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, and awoke early for the 570 remaining miles to Tampa, with a breakfast stop at the Marietta (Ga.) Diner, a destination recommended by "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." Nothing like a Greek omelette with grits, especially when served by Bulgarian beauty Tatyana, prompting Punt to comment, "Isn't immigration wonderful?"
Punt occasionally converses with me, but directs most of his comments towards other drivers, offering insightful observations about their lane usage, lack of turn signals, and general inattentiveness to the roadway. I am in the passenger seat, my mobile office cluttered with laptop, jet pack, Blackberry, iPod, and our GPS companion (Sari), who did not even bother with a "good morning" before brusquely directing us back to I-75 from the hotel. Car travel has its own rhythm, the hum of the tires over the undulating highway, sunlight and shadow through the Georgia Pines. We are then rudely interrupted by Sari's snappish direction to turn right on South Marietta Parkway, Southeast – then sending us in a pretzel-shaped series of turns before landing in the parking lot of the diner. I suspect Sari's irritation stems from her resentment over the success of her much more famous sister Siri, the voice of the iPhone, but who am I to psychoanalyze the disembodied female voices of electronica.
Far more genial is our UM talisman, "GnoMie," content to be wrapped in a UM blanket in the back seat for most of the trip. We had been planning to arrive in Tampa by late afternoon, but after Punt's expansive tour of the Atlanta metropolitan area in search of a car wash, I have revised that to evening. In the meantime, we roll down I-75, the sun continues to shine, Sari is blissfully silent, and even Punt seems momentarily content with his fellow drivers.
On to the predictions.
[ED: hey guys congrats on purchasing one of the most embarrassing things you can own as a Michigan fan look forward to your ski-jumping wolverine dispatch soonest.]
It's been many a year since Counterpunt and I have taken to the roads to attend a Michigan bowl game. Not since the '84 Sugar Bowl vs. the Auburn "War Eagles."
When Counterpunt propositioned me with the prospect of attending the Outback Bowl, I figured, why not? Unfortunately it was too late to get a reasonably priced airfare, so this became a true road trip—me gassing up the Rav 4 for the 1000+ mile trip to Tampa.
After many miles, stops to see friends of Punt and Counterpunt, associates of Counterpunt, and attempts to see "clients" of Counterpunt—vetoed by yours truly—and getting served breakfast by a Bulgarian bombshell named Tatyana - we finally arrived at our destination. It now time to turn to the reason for our travels.
I'm having a hard time deciding how this game is going to go down. Some people are of a mind that Michigan has little to fear, that South Carolina is a predictable offense, and that Mattison will have had time to come up with the defensive scheme from Hell. But the Gamecocks are ranked #10 in the nation, are a top tier team in the all-powerful SEC and have the "Old Ball Coach," Steve Spurrier, running the show. Hmm, who do I pick?
I think it's clear that Michigan has more to gain from a win than South Carolina. They need to keep their momentum and return the Wolverines to the upper echelons of college football. My heart bleeds Maize 'n' Blue, but my head says:
My mind is still boggled at Seth's detailed analysis of this contest ("Hokepoints Previews South Carolina" 12/27/12), fueled by six hours of watching Gamecock football, which is about 5 ½ more hours than my total bowl viewing thus far. I come at this game with a far less scientific mindset, tending to break down in adolescent laughter every time I see the word "Cocks." But here goes my take on Michigan's noble battle with the evil SEC and cocky Steve Spurrier.
On the offensive side of the ball, I trust Al Borges about as much as Ronald Reagan trusted Mikhail Gorbachev; but if Borges utilizes Gardner and Robinson to maximum effectiveness, we should be able to neutralize Clowney's disruptive domination. The Lewan/Clowney matchup is much anticipated, but even an All American will need some help against that beast, and Borges may have to utilize a blocking back to assist in this regard.
Defensively, without J.T. Floyd in the lineup, we may have some difficulty handling Carolina's speedy Smurf-outs; but on the whole, I am less concerned with our ability to contain the 'Cock offense than I am with intangibles like turnovers and special teams.
On the whole, I believe the circumstances are ripe for Michigan to go out on the winning side, which will certainly make the ride home a lot more pleasant. Who knows; if Punt is sufficiently elated, he may be inclined for a return to the Marietta Diner, and ask Tatyana if she wants to come live with him in the melting pot of Ann Arbor.
Preview: Outback Bowl
WHAT | Michigan vs South Carolina |
Everybody Loves Raymond Stadium Tampa Bay, FL |
1:00 PM Eastern January 1st, 2013 |
THE LINE | South Carolina –5.5 |
WEATHER | partly cloudy, mid-70s, minimal chance of rain |
Again this preview assumes that Denard Robinson is basically a wildcat guy when he lines up at quarterback now. Hoke just reiterated that Gardner will start and Robinson will play "some quarterback," and by "some quarterback" he means "wildcat guy."
Run Offense vs South Carolina
happy thoughts
This was two things against Ohio State: Denard Robinson and disaster. Stripped of the one back with any credentials to his name by a gruesome injury to Fitzgerald Toussaint, Michigan all but abandoned any thought of running the ball with the men misnomered "running backs" in the first half, and then proved the wisdom of that decision—if not the wisdom of their second-half playcalling—by getting stuffed almost literally every time they touched the ball after halftime.
The results were grim. Vincent Smith and Thomas Rawls had ten carries between them for a total of 14 yards. Rawls gained a total of two yards on five carries while turning in this career lowlight:
That is likely the point at which we remember Rawls hype deflating entirely as he's relegated to Kevin Grady duty for the rest of his career.
It's not like Rawls is alone in that department. Toussaint followed up a breakout 2011 (1041 yards on 187) by dropping almost two yards from his per-attempt average, going from 5.6 a pop to 3.9. Vincent Smith managed 2.8; Rawls is actually at the top of the heap with 4.2 thanks to a couple of garbage time runs against Purdue and Illinois. When Rawls was forced into the lineup in earnest this November, the results were ugly: 32 carries, 57 yards, less than two yards an attempt. I'd be more receptive to the argument that Rawls saw a lot of short yardage carries that artificially depressed his YPC if he wasn't a major reason he saw so many of those carries by failing to get any YAC on the goal line.
Anyway. The failure of the Michigan running game is comprehensive. The interior line can't block, the tight ends are too young, the tailbacks miserable. Except…
In this context Denard Robinson's season is nothing short of miraculous. His historic season has been obscured by injury and interceptions, but here it is: 1166 yards on 154 carries, an average of 7.6 per despite missing games against Minnesota and Northwestern. That will be a record dating back to at least 1948 (100 carry minimum) if he keeps it above Ty Wheatley's 7.3.
Meanwhile no other player on the roster can grind out half of that outside of garbage time. It is time to shake our fists at the fickle whims of injury and Rich Rodriguez's offensive line recruiting, with a bonus shake at the motley collection of tailbacks on the roster.
keep shaking
ok one more
Ok. Now, the opponent.
South Carolina's got shiny numbers that are a bit distorted by their rampant sackage. They're 16th nationally, giving up 119 yards a game. Removed 40(!) sacks for 253 yards and opponents do get up to 4.0 yards a pop. This is a good run defense, yeah, but it's not on the same level as Alabama, Notre Dame, MSU, or OSU (when OSU isn't giving up 70-yard touchdowns). The defensive tackles are not pocket-crushers, the safeties like to shoulder-block people down after they get first downs and stand over them like idiots, which might be an asset when Denard breaks into the secondary if any of them have the chutzpah to try that against 16.
Is it going to matter? Probably not. In the game of "can Michigan run a football with Not Denard," bet on "no." Can Michigan effectively integrate Denard into a 20-carry presence if he's not playing quarterback? Well…
Key Matchup: I wonder if two months is enough time for Borges to figure out how to put Denard and Devin on the field at the same time. Denard's great; he can't beat out 10 guys going for him on the snap; just Percy Harvin the guy already and stop holding up a huge sign that says RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN when Denard is at QB. Also you can probably run Gardner some since it's the last game of the year.

Obligatory Uniformz Post
Hey. Life rolls on. Thank you to those who have expressed condolences.
One of the running jokes on the podcast this year has been theorizing that the athletic department has someone specifically dedicated to trolling me. Evidence: "In The Big House" did not return until after the nonconference season had convinced me it was gone, and Michigan waited until the last possible moment to change Jordan Kovacs away from #32. Taken with the deployment of Denard and Devin against Ohio State, this is strong evidence indeed.
If they are deep enough inside that they knew what I was writing up this morning and chose that hour to release the latest in the ever-growing line of uniformz, I am terrified because the sleeper agent is probably me.
Anyway. We knew this was coming because Michigan's promise after they announced the Alabama uniformz was that they would not screw with the jerseys during the regular season. They are here. If you have not been on the internet, here they are:
They finally screwed with the helmet. Also Ramzy pointed out that there seem to be four different shades of yellow on this thing.
Yes, yes, the kids love it, which is why Alabama and USC are struggling to recruit these days. It is possible the kids are not quite so stupid as that meme thinks they are and make decisions based on things other than wearing goofy alternates a couple of times a year. Your assertion as to what the kids love does not seem to have much bearing on where they go to school. Alabama did not need fancy duds to annihilate Michigan earlier this year.
What gets me is that many iconic uniforms are not being futzed with, including the aforementioned teams plus Texas, Florida State, Penn State, and Oklahoma*, but the people running those athletic departments must be wrong and the man who brought us pasta inside a bread bowl must be right. I do not agree that this is necessarily the case, Kids Love It Arguer Guy.
I mean, the brand-manic NFL has strict restrictions on third jerseys, with many of the teams deploying them once or twice… ever. NFL teams are prohibited from wearing alternates in the Super Bowl, and only the Chargers have ever deployed them in a playoff game, probably because the Chargers' alternates are themselves a great tradition revived from the 1960s.
It's no real loss if Michigan looks dumb playing in Tampa, but I'll be sad if Michigan plays a Rose Bowl in anything other than classic Schembechler blue. And if you wouldn't want to wear it at the Rose Bowl, why would you want to wear it anywhere?
I promise to write another version of this post in August when alternate uniforms for the ND game are announced, because it is tradition, and tradition is important. #thisguygetsit
*[All of those teams have largely if not entirely opted out. Oklahoma wore some all-whites that were roundly panned in 2009 and scrapped the concept, and Texas altered their helmets to honor Darrel K Royal this year but that's a whole different thing everyone should be okay with. IIRC Alabama did have some sort of subtle houndstooth thing in one game. In each case any uniform alterations were one-offs or close to it, not Michigan's parade.]

Loved TR's role in this- they actually did everything they came for and got away cleanly- how often does that happen?
I do have some complaints about this episode, though. First, Fantina's accent. DEEP HURTING. She sounds like Yvette from Clue. Second, WTF was up with the translation? Could they have put in any more ridiculous lines? You can't convince me that those were a direct translation, especially the "lemons" bit.

[QUOTE=katfairy;9392851 Second, WTF was up with the translation? Could they have put in any more ridiculous lines? You can't convince me that those were a direct translation, especially the "lemons" bit.[/QUOTE]
Of course not those are expressions. Expressions can't be directly translated word for word and have the same meaning. For all we know the Japanese used an expression as well, who knows what it would sound like if it was directly translated. It might not even make sense, in a situation like that you have to change it.
I'm really wondering why anyone (anyone) would get so worked about translations. When I took french for four years in high school. My French teacher basically said "Direct word for word translations is a horrible way to know what something means."
I will not say I'm the best. But by Ash's standards, I'm pretty good.
Some of you need to look at this before you comment on what a Pokemon should learn. Some of you are okay but some of you need to look at this: http://www.serebii.net/attackdex-bw/ This is the attackdex, it is your friend.
Man I was hoping that Pikachu would actually pull through against Drifloon. Hypnosis x 3 = Game Over for this fight. Too bad Ash never had a Vigoroth or some other Pokemon immune to sleeping since that would be pretty vital against Hypnosis users.
I've seen some literal translations from Japanese to English over the years, and there is nothing that comes across as humorous. It's all in the nuance, and the interpretation. I would say Pokemon's huge success in large part has come from the ability to keep the essence of the storyline while not being afraid to take chances in the adaptation.
(sorry for the delay but it took me a bit to find this episode today)
Well,to be honest I'm writing this review with mixed feelings:
First of all, I really like Fantina! Although the Hearthome gym battle hasn't taken place yet, she already belongs to my favorite Sinnoh gym leaders! Her French dialect was a welcome change and her glamorous dress was stunning. Her violet eye shadow was perhaps a teense bit too exaggerated and made her look too old, (Girls, what do you think about that?) but that was really trivial if you ask me.
Probably it's just me but the best about her was that she somehow reminded me of Cynthia!
No, I'm not kidding. You see, most of her features, namely her glamor, the dress, and her strength, could as well be ascribed to my beloved Cynthia.:blush::blush:
However, here's why I couldn't entirely enjoy this week's episode:
It's damn hard for an Ash-Fan to admit that, but he failed miserably today :mad:
I haven't seen such a bad performance of him for ages:uhoh:
To make things worse, I have the worrying feeling that Chimchar will be neglected and screwed up! Let's do some straight talking:
When has Chimchar done something really significant since Ash got him? After almost 50 episodes he hasn't even won a gym batte yet!! (In "Chim-charred" he wasn't the "normal" Chimchar!)
I really love Chimmy and it brakes my heart having to see how badly he is treated by the writers...:thumbd:
Will Paul really be right in the end or do you think that his standing will improve?...some day...
Anyways, Ash, I was really diappointed and even somewhat shocked today!
Pikachu can't handle a little, unenvolved(!!!) ballon Pokemon?! That is,sorry for having to say that, but that is alarming. Pikachu has already faced much stronger Pokemon than a Driftloon and could stand his own almost every time!
I'm really lacking the words to describe how surprised and shocked I am.
Just imagine: If Paul had been there watching, he would surely have made fun of Ash... How humiliating!
Well, on the one hand a successful introduction of the awesome Fantina but on the other a sad defeat for Ash. Of course, he had to lose in the first encounter with Fantina, but was it really necessary that he was swept away that much?

My shinies-
This episode was ok. It was good to see Fantina after all this time though
Love James calling Chimchar chimmy though hehe
Thought Pikachu would have won though even though Drifloom evolved
loved this episode especially the way fantina was introduced. i liked Fantina's accent theyve made the voice match her image perfectly.i wasnt dissapointed and shocked about Ash losing to Fantina because he has always had a trcky time beating Ghost type pokemon for example,
he beat Morty after a very tough battle
and he lost against Agatha's Gengar easily
ghost pokemon are tricksy dont forget
I know this animé doesn't follow real world physics, but since when does wind result in sparks? Seriously.

I liked this episode alot. The music to the title intro was really cool, like something I've never heard before.
Fantina's voice was esquisite. Her voice actress did a good job at makeing her sound French. I loved it.
First Paris, and now Fantina do really well with some French words like "s'il vous plaît" or "Très bien".
Im pumped up for the next episode, despite the horrible episode title.
Imagine Paul facing Fantina. Just by looking at her Mismagius, I'm sure that even Paul's Weavile and Hochkrow would have problems. Weavile got humiliated by Cynthia's Garchomp, so it would be real amusing to see Weavile lose right off the bat from Hypnosis, and the irony is that it's supposed to be great against Ghost-types.
Seriously though, the anime doesn't follow game mechanics, which was way Drifloon had so much stamina to take even the nastiest electric attack.
For anyone who still cares, I found all the things Fantina says in French. She says alors (kind of like "so" or "well") a lot. Anyway....
Battle with Zoey:
My battling style is something to see, n'est-ce pas [isn't it]?
Psywave, tout de suite [right now]!
Merci à vous [thank you]! You were a most formidable opponent!
Enchantée [~Pleased to meet you]. My name is Fantina. A true plaisir [pleasure].
The thing is, I've now become a traveling trainer, just like you! And so I regret to say that gives me no other choice but to leave the Hearthome gym en vacances [on vacation].
In the Pokémon Center:
I'm sorry, but c'est impossible [that's impossible].
And the Hearthome gym was able to open with moi [me] as its leader.
Alors, you understand my feelings. (Brock says oui [yes].)
Bien sûr [of course]! Which finally led me to realize one more thing: I had to create a... new style of battling, one that would combine the beauty of competición [seriously, the way she says it sounds more Spanish] with the ferocity of the battlefield!
No, not quite yet, ma chérie [my dear].
But since my Pokémon are feeling très fatigués [very tired], I'm afraid I'll only be able to battle with one of you.
Battle with Ash:
Alors, Drifloon! Battle position, vite [quickly]!
Buizel, that move of yours was superbe!
Alors, dear Drifloon, go and pick Buizel up!
Alors, Ash, it is you who has the honor!
Très vite [very quickly], Drifloon! Psychic!
Now, s'il vous plaît [if you please], we'll take control of that!
Alors, this time, I start!
Well, I'm impressed! That Thunderbolt is magnifique [magnificent]!
Alors! My Drifloon's starting to evolve!
Incroyable [incredible]! My Drifloon has evolved into a Drifblim! Vraiment incroyable [truly incredible]!
(Ash growls then says, "That's it.") Oui, looks like it.
I accept your challenge. And thank you for a battle incroyable.
In the meantime, you have a magnifique time out on the road!
Mais oui, ma chérie [of course, my dear] Dawn. I promise! Bien sûr. Meanwhile, let's all keep working since you can't count your Torchic before they hatch, n'est-ce pas [right]? (This is when Brock asks Zoey if she had any idea what Fantina just said.)
Man, those phrases are very amazing. Her voice was just like perfect. Lol, so was Brock's once he tried the romantic bit on her.
Alright. Who let the Zoey in?
The Brock-originated octagonal face brings a certain je ne sais quoi to Fantina's body. Especially that stretched kisser.
Yanmega was just chuckling along with Jessie. This is awesome.
Stop wearing shades indoors, Meowth. You think you're some kind of Scott? Well, YOU'RE NOT!
I guess you can teach an old Beyblade kid new tricks.
I've got Whismur eyes for you.
Evidently, the line up for Maylene won't cut it for Fantina. Not even a little bit.
And the Oscar for the best sweeping goes to..!
6/10 All the key words were used for a frenchie in a dub. But she's high-strung and crudités compared to the glee of the foreigners in Yugioh GX. Missing a great piece de resistance insert duly noted. The battling (the meat of this ep) was moderate, I do like inventive moves by Driffloom. Blowing offense, and skillfully evading to maintain distance is a strategy that needs headway in this show. All the birds and the gals seem to love the buzz from crash landing, so ghosts is all I get. Let's just hope that Ash's pokemon don't start twirling, and Fantina's continue whirling, or we might just have ourselves a Spin Zone.

Raymond Hawson and his disabled mother Lorraine struggled to get by for months in their rented house on the Rockaways without power or heat, after Hurricane Sandy.
"I'm in daily pain, and to make matters worse, I'm confined to the house since I lost my wheelchair in the flood," says Lorraine Hawson.
"My mother is disabled. I worry about her every day and we are beyond the point of stress," says Raymond Hawson.
The Hawsons' situation, which NY1 first reported on last month, became worse when the uninsured renters' landlord said he could not afford to make repairs and intended to sell the house.
"That just left us completely, utterly stunned," says Raymond Hawson.
"It's just not fair that he does this. I'm very surprised," says Lorraine Hawson.
When NY1 For You first contacted the landlord, he told the station he had no choice but to sell the house. He said FEMA denied him assistance because it is not his primary residence and he did not qualify for the city's emergency repair program, Rapid Repairs.
After reapplying to the program, NY1 got the landlord to contact the city again. He then said an inspector came out and approved the house for critical repairs.
The Hawsons now tell NY1 they have heat back on in their house, and after NY1 contacted the Center For Independence of the Disabled in New York, they helped Lorriane get a replacement wheelchair.
It is bringing some relief to these long-suffering renters.

Customer Reviews for Akona Mesh Roller Backpack Bag: See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews. Rating: Akona Mesh Roller Backpack Reviewer: Ralph B., I have 2 Akona Roller Mesh Backpack that I purchase from Scuba. com, One for my wife and one for me. First of all, the the service was great, I received the bags in a couple of days after placing the order with Scuba. Com. I own the Akona Mesh bag without wheels, all thought it too is an excellent bag, We were in Key West this summer, and had to walk at least 1/2 mile back to the hotel. The dive equipment was wet coming back form the trip and it was very heavy on my back!! Also, I had to carried my wifes equipment as well. The tempature around 90 degrees. "Tough work-out". My wife and myself went diving last week, use the Akona Roller Mesh Backpack, and pull the equipment back to the Jeep, what a difference! Save your money and back, buy the Akona Mesh bag with wheels. The bag is large enough to hold all of dive equipment , also towels . Construction of bags seems tough enough to handle any dive trip. Johnny B. Advance Diver. PADI Did this Review help? Yes No 5 out of 10 people found this review helpful. Rating: Good Roller Bag Reviewer: Autumn H., Only used it twice. Both the bag and wheels feel pretty durable. Nice to have wheels to lug around heavy wet equipment and backpack straps to carry if necessary. Pulling the bag with the soft handle can get a bit squirrelly. So you need to make sure the bag is firmly tilted before you start to pull. Did this Review help? Yes No 4 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Rating: Roller bag Reviewer: Vicki L., This is a wonderful product. When I have a distance to travel to reach the dive it is exhausting carrying my dive bag. I am a small woman and especially after the dive when all the gear is wet it would make it difficult to get back to home base. I love my original Akona bag, however the Akona roller bag is the answer for me. Thank you. Did this Review help? Yes No 7 out of 13 people found this review helpful.

This Week in Villainy: April 29 - May 5, 2007
Who's Up and Who's Thwarted
Terrible Trio: [WIKIPEDIA] The Terrible Trio were originally three famous inventors in Gotham City, who sought new challenges by starting a criminal career. As a gimmick, they dressed up in business suits while wearing cartoon masks of animals. From then on, they were known as the Fox, the Shark and the Vulture. Tapping into their respective areas of expertise, they based their technology on their respective animal themes. The Trio were recurrent foes of Batman and Robin for years, but they have also battled G'nort, and, more recently, the new Doctor Mid-Nite.These three stooges of villainy -- bored rich guys who got off on dressing up in masks and pulling criminal capers -- have long had it coming. They've gone from Terrible Trio to Terrific Target.
The Shark got it first, with a hauntingly appropriate burial at sea in Detective Comics #832, and the others are equally doomed.
Unless Batman screws everything up and saves their skins.
(If you have a suggestion for "This Week In Villainy," please let me know.)

It's free and automates grading and more. As a tech coordinator in a school district, I appreciate all of the great tips and articles. Keep them coming!
Using Google forms saves me much time taking attendance for 5 sections with over 100 students. Students sign in at the beginning of each class and the spreadsheet automatically adds the date and time. I use the same form throughout the semester and the spreadsheet can calculate how many classes a student attended or not. I can also add additional questions from time to time in order to survey students about a particular topic.

A Jonesville businesswoman says that she and her husband do not rely on the economy to drive business.
"It's the word of God that gets us through each day," says Diane Conley. "If times are tough, we pray, and God always sends us people to help us get through it."
Tommy and Diane Conley are the owners of Conley Carpets in Jonesville located at 412 N. Bridge St.
"When I think of carpet, I think of Conley," said Joan Summers of Elkin who was next door at a nail salon. "It's practically an anchor to Jonesville, something very much needed, even if you are not looking for flooring."
"Agreed," said Ron Summers. "It's all about the customer service. You get a friendly and familiar face in Diane. Those who know the store know Tommy is a fantastic partner too."
The duo started the business in 1998 at a time when the economy was flat and financial institutions did not recommend going into business.
"Tommy looked to me and asked if we should start a business," said Diane. "I was a nurse at that time and had a hunch that this was God's calling, so we put it in God's hands and the community."
Diane and Tommy opened the retail store in 2000 in a leased location, but switched to the current address opting to own the building instead of leasing it. The investment may have had its ups and downs over the years, but the duo keeps pace. Getting Diane into the business required compromise though.
"The only way I was in on this venture was if I could design the front end of the store; a woman can design things better," said Diane.
"That we know," chucked Tommy. "Never get in the way of a woman who wants to design, remodel, or decorate.
"Better yet, when I see a male come into the store alone and I know they're married, I usually recommend they come back to the store with the wife, who's really the boss," said Tommy.
Tommy and Diane sit on two separate sides of the office. During the humorous exchange they glanced at each other, both smiling. They paused for a moment, reflective of a couple who understand their business, but mostly appreciative of the time they have with each other.
"We've been married 46 years," said Diane. "We have four wonderful children, and six grandchildren."
Yadkin County has always been home for the family. Diane was a student at Jonesville High School.
"I used to go to high school when it was located in the current elementary school," she said. "That's a long time ago. I've seen good people in this town…people come and go all the time, but Jonesville is the best place in Yadkin County."
Nowadays Diane and Tommy are preparing the children to take a greater role in the business. All four children are in someway connected to the family carpet company, according to Diane.
"When it comes to installation, my kids are perfectionist, just like their father," she said. "Everything has to be perfect for the customer. Tommy is perfect."
Diane and Tommy are in the early stages of eyeing the next phase of life for them, retirement.
"We would like to spend more time with family and have a place over on the east coast by the beach," said Tommy.
"Maybe within the next 3 to 5 years that's where we'll be," said Diane, "as long as I get to decorate it."
