This June marks 10 years since I graduated High School. 10 years ago this summer I was away from home for as long as I had ever been, and 10 years ago this fall I moved in to the dorms at University of Florida, and began classes.
The memories don't feel too long ago. I can look back and remember vivid details. A goal-line stand to win the homecoming football game, Senior prom with my future wife, carrying a Mr. T bobble-head doll up on the graduation stage, moving day at the dorm, first classes, and living independently. All of those memories and more come rushing back.
The World is in Your Grasp
You may be finding yourself in the same position this year, and you may be excited or afraid, likely both. That's normal. You may not be entering college at all, and that's fine, it's not for everyone. You may be preparing to graduate college, and are likely much more afraid to enter the "real world" than you were to enter college. That was a bit more recent for me, but still 6 years ago.
Since I graduated college, I've worked 2 full-time jobs, both rooted in the growth and development of other people. The first was as a high school girl's lacrosse coach, and now as the Assistant Director of Camp Rockmont for Boys. Through the lens of that work, I've been able to work with young men and women's they grow, and are faced with the biggest decisions of their young lives. Where do I go to college? Who do I marry? What should I do for a living? What excites me? What do I believe? How can I help the world? These are big questions, and some decisions are made quickly; others take time.
18 Tips for 18 Year Olds
To the excited, nervous, scared, happy, angry, high school or college graduate, you are in a wonderful stage of life where your life and all that entails becomes yours. You may even be years out of college, still trying to decide what matters to you! I hope something in here will speak to you, and offer guidance in the months and years to come.
Stop Trying to be Best Friends with Everyone
Sure, be nice, but you'll wear yourself out with 50 best friends. Lets go with 5-10 close friends. Your future roommates and the guys in your bible study will do nicely. I know it's exciting to feel popular, have tons of friends, and be well-liked. I promise though, in the long run, having a small group of people who know all about you (the good and the bad) will serve you well. So let's just focus on a few, ok?
Be Present
The most important person in the world is the one you're talking to. Don't check your phone, keep thinking of a response, or look away. This will do wonders for you. Just chill out and listen. The feeling is wonderful.
You're Pretty Great Yourself (but not really)
You'll read this, hear it, and forget it hundreds of times. But you are fine just as you are. I know we get all worked up about being liked and thought highly of, but you don't have to manufacture it. And yes, people think you're funny, good-looking, and talented. So let's move past the vain self-love and not get a big head. So yes, be confident, you have a lot going for you. At the same time, don't let it go to your head.
It's Not About You
A relationship is not about money, cars, trips, study aids, sports, or anything that benefits you. Instead, focus on how you can be a blessing to others, and do so whether they are your best friends or not. One of the most important things you can do in life is to cultivate a heart for others!
You Can't Please Everyone
Ah I have struggled with this! It's nice you're friendly and social, and people invite you to do things. But you end up getting stretched really thin, sacrificing those who matter most to you, including valuable time to yourself.
Serve Others
Wherever people are, look for ways you can serve. Richard Rohr, a Franciscan Priest, says "Without service outside of self, an ego maintains itself through comparison and competition. Which creates an unhealthy state of only being good because others are not as good". This is no way to live your life! Serving a cause outside of yourself strips that self0defeating thinking away.
When you walk in a room, ask to help. If you pass a homeless person on the street, give them some change, or better yet, bring them some food. Sacrifice your time and money to go to another country and help, while also learning so much. I'm 28 and just went on my first foreign mission trip, and was blown away. The trip was a total game-changer for me.
Never Say Never
I used to talk about things I'd never enjoy, like running, vegetables, or yoga. Now I run marathons, am a (mostly) vegetarian, and just finished up a 30 day hot yoga challenge. Crazy! You never know where life will take you and shake you up for a while. Just be open to the process, and what life has to offer. Your time on earth is too short to go around dismissing things and people.
Prioritize What Is Most Important
Oh man this is tough. As you grow older, the world is going to speed up, and there will be more distractions than ever. Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of social media are simply tools, but can be an enormous time drain! They're not bad things, but they're not the most important things. You need to decide what is most important to you, and make it a priority. For me, my short list of priorities is:
- Faith
- Family
- Writing
- Health (eating right, exercise)
- Men's Work
Everything else is a threat, and should be considered very carefully. People may get upset, but eventually the ones who care about you will understand and respect your choices. Leo Babuata of Zen Habits is a master at helping people develop good habits.
Commit to Less
This goes along with your priorities, because you do not need to feel like everything relies on you. The party you're invited to? It will still go on. The committee you were asked to serve on? The work will be completed. You can certainly do those things, but if they do not align with your top priorities, proceed with caution! As you grow older, your free time will become less and less, and that time is best spent doing the things you really care about.
Risk Big
This may be the scariest item on the list. Risking big starts with risking small in hundreds of different ways throughout your life. Taking those risks doesn't always mean you're going to jump out of a plane, change jobs, or move to a new city. It can mean introducing yourself to a person, trying new foods, or learning to dance.
Each opportunity to put yourself in a situation where you are not fully in control, and are vulnerable, is a risk! The cool part is some of our most fulfilling and rewarding experiences arise from taking a risk, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Plus, you'll see many of these tips have an element of risk to them. Don't be afraid of taking one.
Have Faith
Whatever faith you have, hang on to it! Now, you may have been hurt by religion or faith groups in the past, and for that I am sorry on their behalf. Allow me to point out though, that groups of any religious affiliation are made of people. Obvious, right? Well, as you know, people are broken, fallen, and can twist things to match their own desires. But, I believe if you look close enough, you'll see a central message is one of love, unity, and hope.
For me, that belief lies with the message and life of Jesus. My faith gives me a reason and a hope outside of myself, a belief in something larger than my own existence. What you will eventually learn, is life is not about you! The world does not revolve around you, but in that revolving mess of life is a significance which brings meaning.
Reduce Your Possessions
I really wish I had started doing this when I was 18. Many of the things you have now you won't have in 10 years. I'm not saying that simply in terms of clothing either, but including the toys, gear, and other miscellaneous things you buy. I encourage you to help bring a stop to the endless cycle of purchasing, and also the almost desperate need we feel sometimes to purchase something!
The fewer possessions you have, the freer you will be. Plus, you will save a lot of money! The money can then be used for a trip or experience that will mean so much more to you than a 3rd pair of jeans. You can even give some of your extra money away, after realizing you have all you need. The danger is coming to believe (on an unconscious level) that your possessions define you, i.e. I need these shoes to be in style. In the style of Fight Club, say with me, "You are not the car you drive, you are not the contents of your wallet, you are not your khakis". When you are tempted to lay down your money for a product, consider these 3 questions:
- Do I already have something like this?
- How often will I use this?
- Does this bring value to my life?
So often (and I am guilty of this as well) we make impulse purchases, and listen the false self whispering in our ear, saying, "Hurry and buy this! It will make you so much cooler, and more attractive! What if they run out? People will laugh at you if you don't have it! What do you mean you want to own less? Wear the same shirt twice in the same month? What, are you crazy?" And the voice goes on and on and on. Slowly, painfully, put down the product and walk away. The things you own do not own you.
Eat Right
For me, this has taken a while to come around to. Most of us enjoy being able to eat whatever we want, and there is a certain freedom to that ability. But it is not sustainable! Even if you are naturally thin, have a high metabolism, or exercise frequently, life will eventually hand you a set of circumstances which conflict with this current reality. Reality might be a job, injury, relationship, or lack of motivation.
My reality was writing. I realized I had a limited amount of time to exercise and write each day. I could continue to exercise at my current pace, but I wouldn't write near as much, and vice versa. Since no one was paying me to run an hour a day, I realized I could change my eating habits in order to stay healthy while increasing my writing load. Balancing those 2 passions was the primary motivation in changing my diet, but not the only one.
Eating mostly vegetables, fruit, lean meats, and whole grains is simply better for your body. Eating simply based on what your body looks on the outside can be dangerous, especially for people who are naturally thin! Certainly people react differently to foods, my advice is to really pay attention to how food makes you feel. I love BBQ, but I feel tired and lethargic after eating it. Eating lots of veggies makes me feel energized and lean. What foods make you feel good?
Love Fully
This step may take a while, and being in a relationship which requires your full self. Usually when we are dating, a person will go to great lengths to only let the best side of themselves show. Long-term relationships, and especially marriage, brings out the whole person, both their positive self and darkness. It's not a critique, no one is perfect, and naturally move towards their darkness.
What I'm talking about is fully loving the person you are with (romantically or not), taking in to account their wonderful parts, and the parts you'd rather do without. Loving fully also goes back to being fully present, when you are with them is to give this person your full attention, not to unconsciously be somewhere else.
Be On Your Own
Go away. Seriously. When you head to college, move out and get an apartment, have some roommates, and pay your bills. Buy your groceries, fill up your car with gas, and manage what little money you have. If you choose to work immediately after high school, same rules apply. You're 18! There is a healthy part of you which screams out to be free!
The problem we've encountered is we want our parents and elders to finance our freedom. We want cars, cell phones, and memory foam beds, but no curfew. There is a simple way to have this freedom, and it's simply to walk out the door and take it. Your parents love you and want the best for you, and whether they know it or not, taking leave from them is the way to learn what's best. Ask your parents when they learned the most in life, and usually they will say it's during the hard times.
People don't naturally grow in times of ease and prosperity. This circles back to taking a big risk, and to live on your own is a HUGE risk. But I believe what you'll find is you have the power inside you to survive, and eventually to thrive. Trust me, the belief in yourself to live independently is one of the most powerful feelings you'll experience.
Find the Convergence
Let's make a list…
- What do you enjoy doing? – Exercising, playing guitar, writing, being with friends, reading, traveling, kayaking, cooking.
- What do you have a talent for? – Writing, motivating people, making people laugh, learn things quickly, seeing the possibilities.
- What will people pay you for? – Writing, teaching, coaching, creating.
This is a simple visual I use to help people figure out the convergence between their passions, talents, and potential pay. I share Chris Guillebeau's belief that simply asking people to do what they love is misguided, they must work towards a convergence. I love playing guitar, but my talent is so-so, and so no one is going to pay me to chop away at chords for an hour. I could eventually work my way up to above average, and will keep playing, but my convergence lies elsewhere.
Right now, I believe it lies in writing, teaching, and coaching people. Here's some good news… people have multiple points of convergence. I also work as a summer camp director, where I was able to use my passion and talent to teach, mentor, write, motivate, and inspire. Write down as many things as possible in those 3 lists, and work towards convergence.
Life is Not About You
The world does not revolve around you, and all of the inhabitants are not placed here to make sure you have an easy ride. We get caught up when life is not fair, we don't get the job, the relationship, or things just don't work out. This is life, and it does not revolve around our happiness. This is why we must seek our fulfillment from the inside (through faith) and then turn the energy outside of us, cultivating a life for others. The good news is you are about life! The relationships, sunrises, laughter, adventures; you can give yourself fully to them because you have been filled from the inside.
You Are Enough
This is perhaps the hardest lesson I have learned, and I hope you can realize the truth long before I have. Sadly, many people go through their entire lives without realizing it! The simple truth is "You are enough!" People try to fill their lives with possessions, titles, money, status symbols, other people, and more. You think that without a new car, people will look down on you. A voice of doubt says "If you don't have a prolific job, something is wrong". We can even use other people in this way! How often have you thought, "I'm nothing without this person, they are everything to me." Before you love others, you need to be able to love yourself. If you believe you're nothing before she comes along, you'll never be enough with her.
You need to be able to stand before the world, simply as yourself, and say with conviction, "I Am Enough!"
I hope a part of this essay helped you in some way, even if you aren't 18! Many of these lessons I need to remind myself of every day. I would really enjoy hearing your thoughts on this topic, please share additional lessons you've learned in the years since 18, and help add to the story we're all telling of our lives. I would love to hear them.

Hey Mamas,
Holiday vacation. Such joy and such strife, all at once! All the hours strung together like the lights, with bickering and whining and impatience and over-tired and over-sugared kids. Oh but then there's the joy in their faces! At the mention of all the days off of school or a play date or another gift to open or treat to eat. Bliss. And the cozy under-the-blankets time together, the lack of the need for setting an alarm….Oh, and long mornings and afternoons in your pajamas while all the fighting and "I'm boreds" are going on. Such a mix of fun and not-fun.
(I really hope those of you who work outside the home are getting some days at home, some days off, of that work.) (And those of you who stay at home with littles who aren't in school outside of home, this is totally for you as well!)
Vacations from school can be exhausting for the Mamas and this time of year, there's all the cleaning up and putting away and cookies to eat. Who has time? So! Let's remember to take a moment or two for ourselves, together!
Your assignment, should you accept it, is listed here:
TODAY, December 23rd – Make up your mind to do each of these simple things, each day, until they go back to school. (See below)
Tuesday, December 24th – Christmas Eve – Take and post a selfie after getting in just the right light and put all the makeup on, if you'd like. Wear red lipstick. or pink. Or none. Wear your hair down. Or up. Go NUTS! Smile. Or don't. Just LOVE that picture. Take it over and over until you love it. Let yourself LOVE it. Then post it. #vacationfromvacation On Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or wherever you'd like. Next all you have to do is sit back and accept the compliments, openly.
Here is our inspiration for this one, my friend Amy Turn-Sharp:
Wednesday, December 25th – Christmas Day – Tell a story of your life. A good story. One from long ago, that you haven't told all the people you spend Christmas Day with…Like this, "This one time, when I was on a trip to…." Or, "I guess I could have died the time I…." Or, "Did I ever tell you about my very first job and the stuff that happened there?" These are YOUR stories. People want to hear them. They're beautiful and they make up a life. YOURS.
Thursday, December 26th – Let them eat All The Sugar with NO GUILT. – Don't feel bad about it. There are so many leftovers and so many blessed gifts received that are made of sugar. It's there. They will beg for it. Say yes. No guilt. This too shall pass.
Friday, December 27th – Get a night out with a good friend on the calendar. Have you seen a good movie lately? There are some good ones coming out? Where do you love to eat? Go there. Call up that friend, or text her, ask her out. Put it in your calendar for sometime during this next week and a half.
Saturday, December 28th – Get yourself something FUN to read. Just one book. Off your shelf, on your reader, from the bookstore…Choose just one must-read page-turner, for you. Ask friends for recommendations of something riveting and entertaining that you won't be able to put down.
Sunday, December 29th – No house work allowed, only rest. Okay, fine. You can keep the dishes from spilling out of the sink and onto the floor, but that's IT. No laundry, no picking up…just hang out. And then hang out more. Read that book you got yesterday, have a Netflix marathon. Be cozy and lazy and all the good zzzzz's. It can wait. Or, ask someone else in your house to do it, if you can't stand the mess.
Monday, December 30th – Sit down and write a handwritten letter to someone who needs to hear from you. This may sound like work, but it's not. You are creating, and that fills you up. You are blessing someone with fun mail and that feels GOOD. Tell them something that happened, recently, in detail. Be funny, or don't. Make it poignant. Or don't. Just write, in the same way you used to talk with them, for hours, before the Internet.
Tuesday, December 31st – Let them stay up late. Don't feel bad about it. No guilt. It doesn't have to be midnight (I go to bed on New Year's Eve by ten, I'm old). Look up something fun for families in your community and go do it. Or don't. Stay home and play games and watch movies or TV and eat fun treats. Yes, they'll be over-tired tomorrow and you'll wish they weren't, but…you guessed it…this too shall pass. (bonus idea: if you have a tree, have a slumber party around it, the whole family. I'm not sure I'm up for this until Elsie is a bit older, but I do like the idea!)
Wednesday, January 1st – Happy New Year! Write down 3 things you are grateful for that happened in 2013. Write down 3 things you hope for in 2014. Make these things about YOU—your work or your dreams, your creativity, your passions, your body, your lifestyle, your spirituality….you get the idea.
Thursday, January 2nd – Go for a good part of the day with no attachment to technology. No really, don't look at your phone unless it rings (someone would call if it's an emergency, right?) Don't get online to check facebook or twitter or browse the web. Trust me, this feels good! It's for you. Go for a walk (if it's not totally freezing where you are), take a nap, take a long shower, watch a movie, make something yummy, knit, paint…You don't have to do it all day, maybe just the morning or just the evening. It's up to you.
Friday, January 3rd – Make an appointment to pamper yourself soon. To get your hair did! Or a pedicure! Or a massage! Whatever you choose, make it something pamper-y, just for you. If you don't have a lot of money for such things, especially after the holidays, look for deals on RetailMeNot or Groupon or similar discount sites. You can get great deals that way sometimes.
Saturday, January 4th – Skip part of your daily routine that drains you. Are you the dinner-maker? Order in! (Or go out or ask someone else to make the food, dammit.) Do you kind of hate showering? Skip it. Do you feel like you're always picking up all the things? Don't. Just for today. Skip the thing that drains you most.
Sunday, January 5th – They go back to school tomorrow! Here comes the routine, like it or not. We've come full circle, my friends: Take another selfie, but this time, include your kiddos. Get all of you squished together and cheeeese, post it to facebook or Twitter or Instagram or all of them! If you do, please come back here and share the link to your photo in the comments. I want to see you!! #vacationfromvacation
Peace, my friends. Peace.
I'll be searching the hashtag #vacationfromvacation on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I'm so excited to see you!

Shinji Kagawa will get even better next season, according to Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson, after the Japanese midfielder became the first Asian player to score a Premier League hat-trick.
SCORERS: Manchester United - Kagawa 45, 76, 87; Rooney 90
The 23-year-old played the starring role as United thrashed Norwich City to move 15 points clear of second-placed Manchester City, leaving top scorer Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney in the shade with three classy finishes.
Kagawa, signed from Borussia Dortmund in June, has had his first season disrupted by a knee injury but showed signs against Norwich that he can make a big impact at Old Trafford.
"It's brilliant for him. The lad is a good finisher and his second goal was so composed and an intelligent finish while his third was absolutely brilliantly taken," Ferguson said.
"It's been a great day for him. He got that injury around October, November and was out quite a while," added Ferguson, who could be tempted to start Kagawa against Real Madrid in the Champions League last-16 on Tuesday.
"It knocked him back a bit but he's gradually coming back and I think you'll see a really good player next year."
Kagawa is one of three Japanese players plying their trade in the English Premier League along with Ryo Miyaichi, on loan to Wigan Athletic from Arsenal, and Southampton's Maya Yoshida.
United have a huge fanbase in Japan and will tour there before the start of next season, playing Kagawa's first club Cerezo Osaka.
Rio Ferdinand and Rafael were left out of yesterday's game, with Ferguson mindful of Tuesday's clash with Real. Whilst Ryan Giggs was denied a 1,000th senior appearance in readiness for some meaningful contribution against Jose Mourinho's men.
"It will be a fantastic night," said Ferguson. "You are talking about two of the greatest clubs in the world. Emotions will be high and I am sure it will be a tremendous match. If we can get a blank against us on Tuesday we would go through. But I think both teams will score. I just hope we get more than them."

HCG Diet Research Studies – Why They Say It Doesn't Work for Weight Loss
August 7, 2009
This article written by Dr. Clark shows why studies conducted decades ago stating HCG is ineffective for weight loss are incorrect in their conclusions. Among the many reasons are deviations from Dr. Simeons' protocol, statistically insignificant samples, and the results from these studies don't support the conclusions!

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to live the rest of my life in Jamaica."
~Ian Fleming
On the northern coastline of Jamaica, in the parish of St. Mary's, is the GoldenEye Hotel and Resort. This Caribbean hideaway, comprised of 13 luxury villas and lagoon cottages has restaurants, pools, spas, and beaches. It's also got Bond. James Bond. Well, at least it has his essence.
GoldenEye is an oasis which has played host to legendary visitors such as British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden, Noel Coward, Elizabeth Taylor, Truman Capote, Errol Flynn, and more recently Jay Z and Beyoncé, Martha Stewart and Bono. (Martha and Bono were not there together!)
Beloved British author, Ian Fleming purchased these 15 acres of land in 1946. He turned the donkey race course (we're not making this up) into a 3 bedroom bungalow and named it GoldenEye. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea one can no doubt understand how Fleming grew inspired to write the 14 novels of his now famous James Bond 007 series.
The estate was purchased by Bob Marley in 1976, and sold one year later to record mogul Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records. Blackwell propelled Reggae music worldwide and catapulted the careers of Bob Marley, Grace Jones and U2.
Recently renovated, GoldenEye re-opened in 2010 with an additional 17 rooms. The décor has an organic-tropical vibe that just may inspire you to do something creative.
Not planning a trip to Jamaica this year? Then check out Pierce Brosnan (a gorgeous Bond!) in the movie of the same name. GoldenEye.

It all started when a casualty's character was stolen by an illicit worker, who started livelihood under the new personality, which made cases of extortion from both the (Internal Revenue Service) and Social Security Administration as said by Neal O'Farrell, official chief of the Identity Theft Council. The criminal opened various credit extensions and records in the casualty's name, which turned into a different battle.
Just imagine two states, double driver's licenses and two sets of DUIs later, the casualty could no more restore her permit and had a criminal record, in addition to various tickets, to her name. Also, she had another house – helpfully bought with her credit by the identity thief.
At the point when the cheat was at long last captured, in North Carolina, she declined to give her genuine personality unless she got it for a diminished sentence and programmed extradition – in light of the fact that she realized that when she got once more into the nation she could start from the very beginning again with the same character.
That is the scariest part about identity fraud: Once your character is traded off, you never realize what else is out there or who may have your data.
Identity theft aversion
Customers can find a way to ensure themselves. Sadly, a great part of the issue originates from organizations that request distinguishing data, for example, on employment applications and printed material for specialist workplaces. As organizations assemble and store everyone of this information on buyers, their inability to protect the money related and recognizing points of interest of customers is basically denying people of their security.
If hanging up the credit and charge cards for good isn't on your plan, take care of the spots where you do utilize your cards to keep away from thefts.
This type of charge card extortion happens when a criminal accesses your credit or platinum card number through criminal hacking, ATM skimming or maybe you just hand it over when paying at a store said by Robert Siciliano, data fraud master with McAfee.
Other identity theft aversion steps that shoppers can take to secure their significant recognizing data can be summed up in a clever acronym from the Identity Theft Resource Centre called SHRED.
S: Strengthen passwords on the web. Try not to utilize the same secret key on different destinations.
H: Handle distinguishing data with consideration.
R: Read your credit report yearly.
E: Empty your handbag or wallet.
D: Discuss these tips with family and companions.
Fraud isn't on everybody's radar, except it ought to be. Ensure loved ones realize that they ought to secure their personality the same way they would secure different resources.
Here's Why Online Retailers Are Flocking To Newer Ecommerce CRM Software
A lot of people are not well-versed in the benefits of ecommerce CRM services and products. While they may have run businesses for many years, these individuals prefer to use old fashioned methods when it comes to customer service, data collection and data analysis. The truth is that all of these functions are a now fully integrated into an ecommerce CRM software solution for online retailers. Here's a quick look at how these newer SaaS platforms are helping to change the way ecommerce does business.
Time-Saving Features
Instead of spending hours going through customer data and attempting to analyze this information, companies can use this software and get the analysis part done within minutes. The best part is that ecommerce CRM software is designed to analyze this data in many different ways. Depending on your company's size and the industry where it operates, the analysis can vary.
Some companies may want to know when customers are doing the bulk of their shopping. They may want to know whether certain months, days or periods of the day are busier than others. This can help them shape their service during those hours in a more efficient way. Other companies may want to use the ecommerce CRM to understand whether customers are happy with the new products they are offering. In both of these cases, analysis is a very important part of the equation. It is no good having all of this data if you have to spend the time figuring out what it means. But with the right software, the frontend interface will show you the analysis results you want.
Aside from analysis, the CRM software really excels because it gives your company a front end interface that is so easy to use. Even employees who have started working at your company a few days ago will have no problem using this software. It only takes a few minutes to get familiar with how the frontend interface operates. There are many different types of software on the market that companies can use to gather and use customer data. However, CRM is the perfect combination between data collection, analysis and ease-of-access.
When an employee needs to talk with a customer, they can immediately pull up a file on this individual. The file will include information about when the customer first started doing business with the company. Perhaps they bought a product one year ago. If they have made several purchases since that date, the interface will immediately show this information. By knowing what a customer bought and when they bought these items, it is much easier for an employee to help this individual with their query.
In the modern economy, it is so important for companies to prioritize efficiency and communication. Every minute that an employee needlessly spends trying to find data, they are missing out on possible interactions with customers. The truth is that customers also expect more from online retailers these days. When they call in and ask a question, they want the employee to know what they are talking about. This is a lot easier to handle when you have CRM software backing you up.
Why ComeChat Is A Powerful Tools To Add Buzz For A Website?
Bring your website to the next level, website owners should consider ComeChat as their solution to gather internet users around the globe who look for certain information from your site staying a little bit longer, and somehow come back. The idea about chat application for website is not a new thing as you can find many website owners or maybe yourself use a certain chat application. However unfortunately, that chat application can't build a solid formation for your customer base. But it is the different when it comes to the first mentioned chat application as you get more than that.
Speak of the chat application, it is a software systems which can be chosen depend upon the website needs. Small website can consider to choose basic version of the software with limited feature for more affordable price that is known as Professional Plan.

The new technology a self-driving car still needs development
This accident, the first caused by a self-driving car after nearly 2.4 million kilometres of autonomous driving, suggests that Google's vehicles still need more common sense. A human driver would probably have just driven over the sandbags.
Researchers at the University of La Laguna in the Canary Islands are building a system which might have helped Google's Lexus see the sandbags for the non-threat they were. They use Microsoft Kinect cameras, originally developed for the Xbox One gaming console, to improve self-driving cars' obstacle avoidance at close range.
Self-driving cars typically use a combination of sensors to detect and avoid obstacles. Radar and laser-based lidar systems are generally used for objects at long range, while ultrasonic detectors and stereo cameras sense cars and pedestrians closer in.
Obstacles close to the ground like ramps, kerbs and sandbags are difficult to make out, says Javier Hernandez-Aceituno, lead author of the study: "Laser-based sensors are not suitable for this task because they detect ramps as obstacles. Ultrasonic sensors are also unsuitable due to their low precision."
Hernandez-Aceituno decided to try using a Kinect, a depth-sensing camera that uses an infrared laser to capture an instantaneous 3D map of objects up to about 4 metres away.
Last year, he and his colleagues installed a Kinect on an experimental golf cart called Verdino. A low-speed self-driving vehicle, Verdino is also equipped with laser rangefinders and stereo cameras from a PlayStation 4.
They set the Verdino loose on an outdoor course with ramps, kerbs and stairs, using one obstacle detection program to process data from all the sensors.
Misjudged ramp
The laser rangefinder ignored the lowest steps and incorrectly decided that the ramp was too steep to navigate. The camera gave inaccurate results for very near and far obstacles, and suffered from false detections.
The Kinect, however, produced more accurate results and fewer false positives than the stereo camera. Its biggest problem was spurious obstacles created by reflections of sunlight, although Hernandez-Aceituno was able to filter these out.
"The Kinect sensor vastly outperforms stereo vision at accurately detecting obstacles on the road," says Hernandez-Aceituno, "[and] allows an autonomous vehicle to navigate safely in areas where laser rangefinders cannot detect obstacles."
Combine energy and Technology to keep drones aloft for over an hour with a miniature fuel cell
Researchers at the Pohang University of Science and Technology (Postech) have created a miniature fuel cell they claim not only provides enough energy to keep a drone in the sky for over an hour, but may well find applications in powering everything from smartphones to cars in the not-too-distant future.
Developed by Professor Gyeong Man Choi and his Ph.D. student Kun Joong Kim at Postech, the new solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is claimed by the researchers to be the first to use porous stainless steel in combination with thin-film electrolyte, all brought together using a technique known as tape casting-lamination-cofiring. Allied with electrodes of low heat capacity, this amalgamation not only results in increased performance, but also in higher long-term durability.
The team has aimed to improve upon previous SOFCs that used silicon but whose lithographically-etched components exhibited rapid degradation or low durability when experiencing thermal-expansion during operation, resulting in physical alignment problems with the electrolyte. As a result, silicon-based fuel cells are, according to the researchers, not seen as a viable replacement in electronic devices that require fast on/off capabilities. Using stainless steel, the team claims to overcome the biggest problems that have dogged SOFCs, namely the high operating temperatures of the units that results in longer start-up times and issues surrounding mechanical and chemical compatibility.
Referred to as a third-generation fuel cell, the Postech team's device boasts a simple structure and does not have any problems with corrosion of loss of the elctrolyte. It showed a peak power density of around 560 mW per cubic centimeter at 550° C (1,022° F) and maintained this power density during rapid thermal cycling. With this sort of power density and reliability, the team suggests the device may offer an alternative to lithium-ion batteries in a range of mobile electronics, such as smartphones and laptops. At just 78 mm2 per cell in size, the Postech device is also claimed to have fast on and off times similar to lithium-ion batteries and superior power densities that would allow smartphones that would only need to be charged once a week.
The Postech device generates power by converting hydrogen (in this case, "Wet" H2 gas comprising 97 percent H2 and 3 percent H2O mixture) supplied as fuel gas to the anode to create electricity. It does this through the use of a solid oxide material acting as the electrolyte that allows the conduction of negative oxygen ions from the cathode to the anode. These ions diffuse through the solid oxide electrolyte to the anode where they oxidize the fuel. This reaction produces electrons, which then flow through an external circuit to provide power.
Whilst the fuel cell is still in the prototype phase, the researchers believe that their research could result in the development of larger, less expensive (but with much higher-power density) fuel cells for use in vehicles in the not-too-distant future.
The results of this research were recently published were published in the journal Scientific Reports.

Speeds Up Your iPhone 6s Device
The iPhone 6s is among Apple's fastest devices ever released. But if you're pleased with the speed of Apple's A9 chip, your iPhone can fake a speed increase that translates to real world results.
The glitch was found by 9to5Mac's Jeff Benjamin. The iDownloadBlog alumni points out that, even without a jailbroken device, you can completely remove the animations from your device. Instead of tapping on an app and waiting for it to expand on screen, you're taken right to the app—no waiting. Check Jeff's video for details on how to reenact on your own iDevice.
Enacting the Assistive Touch accessibility feature allows you to begin removing animations from your iPhone. Once enabled, you'll want to return to the homescreen and swipe down to access Spotlight search (what you use to search your entire device). If you swipe down and then up at the right moment, your iPhone will weirdly remove animations from your phone experience. As Jeff notes in the video, it doesn't have to do with how fast or slow you go, just a matter of timing it right, similar to what we see in the video. Rebooting your phone resets the glitch and reenables animations. You can follow the steps once again to remove animations.
Jailbreak users have known of the perils of iOS animations for a while. Cydia tweaks like NoSlowAnimation and FakeClockUp have allowed jailbroken iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users to shorten animations, remove them altogether or even lengthen them—should said iOS user be a masochist.
With the iOS glitch now widely known, there is a good chance that we could see a patch for the glitch in Apple's release of iOS 9.3. Along with a potential fix for the newfound "error," users can look forward to Night Shift. The feature made popular by f.lux allows the device to adjust colors at the end of the day to offer a warmer hue—providing colors presumably better for one's sleep patterns.
Much like jailbreak users, Apple may patch this glorious use of a bug very soon. Until then, enjoy living life in the fast lane.

New Atlas – The latest robot technology
The humanoid Atlas robot, which has been overhauled with a sleeker design, can be seen at the beginning of the video walking around untethered before it opens the front door to Boston Dynamics' office and steps outside. The bot is then seen walking on uneven and snowy terrain, maneuvering around trees and correcting its balance several times. [Watch the Atlas Robot Video]
The new-and-improved robot is "designed to operate outdoors and inside buildings," Boston Dynamics wrote in a description of the video posted on YouTube. "It is specialized for mobile manipulation. It is electrically powered and hydraulically actuated. It uses sensors in its body and legs to balance and LIDAR and stereo sensors in its head to avoid obstacles, assess the terrain, help with navigation and manipulate objects."
Indeed, the video goes on to show Atlas bending down to pick up 10-pound (4.5 kilograms) boxes and pivoting its torso to place each package on a shelf. In another instance, a human handler uses a hockey stick to push Atlas off balance. The robot stumbles backwards (but catches itself) before regaining its balance. Next, an employee pushes Atlas down from behind. The curled-up robot (lying flat on its robotic face) is able to push itself up — first to its "hands" and "knees," before righting its torso and then pushing up on its feet— all without help from a human or a tether. [Robots on the Run! 5 Bots That Can Really Move]
Some commenters on the YouTube video expressed outrage at the guy pushing the robot with a hockey stick, with some saying they felt sad for the robot, some calling the guy a bully and even suggesting, perhaps with a grin, that he will be blamed for any robot uprisings.
"The guy who kicks the robot will be fully responsible [sic] from the forthcoming robot-human wars," wrote Alper ALT.
Another commenter, jonelolguy, wrote: "Man, i actually feel bad for the robot."
"Did anyone else feel pretty sad when they pushed it," wrote Cris Loreto.
These commenters aren't alone in attributing feelings to robots, particularly ones that look lifelike.
Researchers have found that when people watch a robot being harmed or snuggled they react in a similar way to those actions being done to a flesh-and-blood human. In one study, participants said they felt negative emotions when they watched a human hit or drop a small dinosaur robot, and their skin conductance also showed they were distressed at the "bot abuse." When volunteers watched a robot being hugged their brain activity was the same as when they watched human-human affection; even so, brain activity was stronger for human-human abuse versus human-robot violence.
"We think that, in general, the robot stimuli elicit the same emotional processing as the human stimuli," said Astrid Rosenthal-von der Pütten of the University of Duisburg Essen in Germany, who led that study. The research was presented in 2013 at the International Communication Association Conference in London.
Last summer, Boston Dynamics upgraded the Atlas robot for the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals, a competition hosted by the U.S. military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The most significant changes at that time were to Atlas' power supply and hydraulic pump, which helps the robot stand, walk around and perform other tasks.
Boston Dynamics, which is owned by Google, said the new version of the Atlas robot now stands about 5 feet and 9 inches (1.7 meters) tall, which is about a head shorter than the version of Atlas used in the DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals, and weighs 180 pounds (82 kg).

Utilizing advances in environmental technology
Global Warming is one of the most adverse threats the Earth is facing today. It is taking its toll on the world through a whole lot of pollutants. It is high time we heed this alarming fact and take measures to battle the impending hazards.
With the globe becoming increasingly pollution-prone, all of us face the threat of a dark future devoid of the present beauties of the world. Globally, there is an alarming increase in environmental pollution. Considering the depletion of useful natural resources and the pollution of the environment, the predictions about the end of the Earth no more seem to be wild fantasies. In such a bleak scenario, only environment-friendly technologies can save us from environmental disasters.
Environmental Technologies are the only way to curb pollution and create a hazard-free environment. The main concept behind environmental technologies is to convert environmental beneficial material into value added products and services. The purpose of implementing environmental friendly technology is to minimise environmental pollution. Some of the beneficial factors are:
1. Minimum materials as input
2. High energy conservation.
3. Least pollution.
4. Minimum waste disposal.
5. Numerous valuable by-products are recovered.
Environmental Technology is the cleanest and most resource efficient technology. Corporations can gain competitive advantage using these technologies. Many companies utilise environmental technologies to produce common consumer products. Leading players like NTIC produces Polymer Energy with the help of environmental technology for economical and environmental gain. It is an alternative and effective method to recycle and dispose plastic wastes. The Polymer Energy system effectively converts plastics into crude oil with the use of catalytic pyrolysis. Every single ton of plastic waste is converted into 775 litres of crude oil.
Approximately 230 million tons of garbage is generated which is converted into Nature-Tec environmental friendly plastic. Bio-based or bio-degradable plastics are produced using environmental technology. These plastics are fully degradable and prevent the soil from getting polluted. Some of the useful applications of these plastics are carry-out bags, packaging films, trash bags. They can also be used as extrusion coat papers which are used in coated paper cups, trays and others.
NTIC is an extremely environment-friendly and eco-conscious organisation which has completely understood the concept of environmental technology. It is constantly striving to utilise environmental technology to its fullest extent and offer value-added products to consumers. NTIC stands in offering an environment-beneficial clean technology to the public.
History of Computer Aided Manufacturing ( CAM )
Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) is one of the software automation processes that directly convert the product drawing or the object into the code design that enables the machine to manufacture the product. It is used in various machines like lathes and milling machines for the product manufacturing purposes. It allows the computer work instructions to communicate directly to the manufacturing machines.
The mechanism of CAM developed from the Computer Numerical Machines (CNC) in the early 1950s. These systems were directed by a set of coded instructions in a punched paper tape. The proposal to develop the first numerically controlled machine was commissioned to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from the US Air Force in the year 1949. The entire proposed idea of developing this machine was demonstrated in the year 1952.
The motivation factor in developing these kinds of numerically automated machines involves the expensive costs in manufacturing the complex curved geometries in 2D or 3D constraints mechanically. The development of these machines considers the factors like easier programming in CAM and easy storage of programs. A program can be changed easily and avoid manual errors. Numerically controlled machines are safer to operate, and the complex geometry comes at a reasonable price.
James T. Parsons proposed the concept of the numerical control operations during the year of 1948. In 1950, the MIT servo mechanism lab developed the Numerical Control (NC) milling project. The remaining program parts were released in the later period of 1952 along with the first successful demo version. After 1955, major companies in the industry developed their own machine designs.
IBMs Automatic Tool Changer in the year 1955, G & Ls first production of the skin-miller in the year 1957, and the machining center developed by K & T have all been considered to be major developments to promote the technology with more benefits. CAD drafting and the sculptured surfaces were developed in the year 1965; 7,700 NCs were also installed during the same year.
During the year 1967, the concept of developing the CNC machine was proposed. The existence and the major development of the CAD/CAM machines evolved during the year 1972. 3D CAM/CAD systems were introduced in 1976. Expert CAM/CAD systems were developed in the year 1989. The major development of the CAM systems provides you with easier manufacturing of objects with high efficiency.

In case it hasn't already flooded your airwaves already, the De Blasio administration and the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) reached a tentative agreement to finally get teachers their just due. While I haven't pored over the details of the contract, I'm certainly happy with any salary increase at this point. After four years without contract, the cost of living has jumped higher and higher without matching recompense for some of the most essential members of any flourishing society.
Of course, lots of people doubted whether the union would get retroactive pay or any contract at all this year after the mess Mayor Bloomberg left, but in fact, two rational sides worked out something they believed would advance the teaching profession.
The reason why so many of us feel comfortable with diverting the conversation around teacher contracts is to "unions" is because teachers themselves aren't supposed to seek money for themselves. They're supposed to keep their mouth shut, stay underpaid, and let others negotiate for them so they can pretend to not care about how much money they make.
Yet, it's certainly appropriate for teachers to demand good pay. If anything, paying teachers means teachers can pay that energy forward.
I can't pretend I know everything that this contract means, but I can tell you that, with the mounting debt of making a home in NYC, it's good to know you have a union that's willing to negotiate for your right to teach and make that home.
After 12 years of Bloomberg's teacher-bashing, this is the big payback.

Even without addressing the filesystem issues at the layer above, I'd be interested in such a device. Is this something you'll be able to release when you're done? At the upper layer, it's probably something that will need direct support from the filesystems. In the softdep case, something that can be inserted in the dependency chain as a barrier - and when it finally hits the lower layer device in order, it triggers the actual snapshot to happen. That should avoid the need for locking, which you need to avoid so your snapshots remain transparent. -- Dan.

Sure, but this just means that the ({?p ?s ?o} and {?p ?o ?x}) or ((<p> <s> <o>), (<p> <o> <x>)) portions of the various query languages are each equivalent to RDF graphs. But at this point you still need an external (to RDF) language to tie those pieces together or express other concepts such as functions, negation, universally quantified variables, variable projection, etc. So to express a query we can either: 1. live with the simple conjunctive-only query-by-example model 2. develop another syntax to express the concepts we want 3. wait for rdf to become expressive enough to do what we need 4. describe the queries in rdf (which is an ugly form of 2) I'm clearly most in favor of #2. We probably won't be querying any time soon if we go with #3 and I don't really see the real world utility of #1. #4 would be a short-term compromise - presumably while waiting for 2 or 3. > In the context of any particular query language, we can > allow the form of the return results to be one or the other by > using function ala: > > select fillgraph($x, $y, ...) from ... where <graph mentioning > $x, $y, ...> > > If you just wanted the variables, which I suspect will be the > common case, you can just say, > > select $x, $y, ... from ... where <graph mentioning $x, $y, ...> The more awkward part, though, is returning triples from a query language that thinks in variable result sets. For example take a query like: <rdfs:Class> <rdfs:label> <rdf:Description /> </rdfs:label> </rdfs:Class> might end up via a transformation as a query in rdfql like: var rs = (select ?p ?s ?o using #ds where {[rdf:type] ?x [rdfs:Class]} and {[rdfs:label] ?x ?l} and ((?p=[rdf:type] and ?s=?x and ?o=[rdfs:Class]}) OR (?p=[rdfs:label] and ?s=?x and ?o=?l}))); //write back the results as rdf/xml response.write(datasource(rs).format("application/rdf+xml")); I guess it's not that hideous - but it would be prettier if we just returned the variables.

Tate Shop Prints View all prints Lithographie Originale Vintage Poster
Joan Miro
Original color lithograph, from the catalog raisonné "Joan Miro Lithographe I"
12 x 10
Printed by Mourlot, Paris
This color lithograph is one from a series of 11 lithographs created to illustrate a text by Michel Leiris.
For several decades now, vintage lithographic posters have become collectible works of art in their own right. With little in common with offset or digital reproductions, their place in art history is well established and documented. In fact, they are now found in most museum collections.
Artists such as Miro were intimately involved in the production of these works. Conceived as announcements for exhibitions, ads for tourism and as illustrations for political events, these works were often the creations that had the broadest audience. Twentieth century artists were quite aware of this fact and therefore spent much energy and time on their design and quality.
These images could be found throughout the city streets of Europe, on the windows of shops and cafs and on bulletin boards of schools and community centers. Their life span was usually short as they were often destroyed and discarded when replaced by the next poster.
Starting in the 1920's, the Atelier Mourlot was the largest and best known print shop to manufacture these lithographic works and over the years. A selection of the surviving original posters are now available in Tate Online Shop.

And I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, like the sound of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder, and the voice which I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps. And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders; and no one could learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been purchased from the earth. These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb. And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless (Revelation 14:1-5).

Review: Legacy #16
Posted in: Comics, Featured, ReviewsPublished: June 25, 2014
Script: Corinna Bechko & Gabriel Hardman Art: Brian Albert Thies Colors: Jordan Boyd Lettering: Michael Heisler Cover Art: Agustin Alessio For the first time since we met her, Ania Solo is no longer on the run. She has been proven innocent of murdering an Imperial Knight, but her freedom was earned at a high cost. Her friend, Imperial Knight Jao Assam has been sentenced to death for desertion. Before Ania can find a way to free him, Jao escapes with the help of the Sith lord, Darth Wredd. The book opens on Coruscant. Ania is quickly learning that the bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe. She is being blocked at every turn to see Jao or talk to anyone about setting him free. Most of the book is dealing with Jao and Darth Wredd. Wredd tells his sad, sithly tale to Jao. I really enjoyed the change in art style for the flashback, the artwork goes softer and the coloring almost borders on sepia toned. Like most villain backstories, it's a tragic story of loss and pain, but like the best villain stories, it's one that you can relate to. While Jao is dealing with the Sith, Ania is working to find a way to save him. She finds help in the most unlikely of places, Empress Fel herself. It seems clear that Empress Fel is getting something out of this deal, but we don't know yet what she gains by saving Jao's life. Ania sets out with a squad of loyal troops backing her on a hunt to find the Sith and save Jao. This issue may not have the big action set pieces of the previous issues, but you wouldn't call this issue boring or slow paced. Bechko and Hardman's writing is great, between the heavy drama of Darth Wredd's tale of woe and the fun exchange as Ania mentions her distant kinship with the Empress to a stunned Sauk. Hardman is not doing the artwork this time around though, and while I generally prefer his art, Thies' art is very much in the same style so it's not a jarring change. As the issue closes, the story arc begins to come around full circle, building to the final issues. Legacy continues to be one of the strongest Star Wars titles out right now.

It's just awesome to see our star QB taking a break from it all and just being a normal student for once
Denard at the MSU basketball game
What other star QB at Michigan or elsewhere have you ever seen just hanging in the regular student section at a bball game? I don't remember ever seeing it. Denard just makes me smile.
Lets not forget these are kids.. For all the burdens we put on their performance.. Its awesome to see them having a great time surrounded by other students and kids.. That said.. I expect no less then 2000 yds rushing 50 tds and a natl championship ring ... Hey if you have time to go to a game your game better be solid right?
Goblue.. The sharty sweep is coming again!
Well here at ASU the football players don't go to basketball games. Then again, neither do the students. Go Devils.
I hear that man, I never go to the bball games, we are terribad! Go Devils!
I just had a huge grin on my face the whole time from watching Denard, Treezy and Lloyd Brady digging the game. If I wasn't being wowed by Beilein's boys, I was totally watching those three. Man, it's great to be a Michigan fan.
Denard is Michigan. The kid is amazing. A great person and student athlete.
I liked how he started bouncing 3 feet in the air before anyone else in the stands as Draymond's final shot left his hands. He knew.
Anyone have a picture of him and Roundtree at the game?
Should've been Lloyd Brady next to Denard.
Should've been Lloyd Brady.
Almost was, almost was.
is not enough!
Thats me next to Roundtree. I look like a total dork, but I don't care. That was awesome.
Yes, you do look like a total dork but I wish I was you instead of being the only asshole yelling at the TV in the bar during the game.
are awosome for joining the students, why don't we see more of them there!!
Tells you a lot about this kid....gonna miss this guy after next year.
I'm sure that this is a dumb question, but at one point they showed Denard and Roundtree reaching out for the shirts that the cheerleaders throw up into the crowd. If one of them had gotten one, would this have been an NCAA violation, because not every student had the opportunity to get a free t-shirt?
Again, I apologize for what I'm guessing will be tagged as flamebait, but I was curious what would happen here.
I'm not really sure, but I can pretty much guarantee you that the Free Press would find a way to make a two year investigation out of it.
That would be very Tressel-like.
Actually, every student DOES have the chance to get one so...
It's a random toss. Random. Everyone has an equal chance. Don't over think things dude.
Sorry! Also, I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer or anything. I know we won, it was just something that kind of stuck out to me. Plus, I feel like the NCAA has done enough dumb things that it's hard to ever write them off
While it is a random toss, I would hope that 'Tree would be especially skilled in catching the T-shirts.
Sir or madam:
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate your avatar. Earlier this month, I met a woman in New Orleans outside the Sheraton who had a purse that was based off your avatar: it looked exactly as it would appear on the periodic table of elements, except cooler than school. You wouldn't happen to be this woman, would you?
No, kind sir, I am not a woman not was I outside the Sheraton in New Orleans. I do however appreciate you making mgoblog a community where we do not reflexively assume everyone is male.
If you look at our blog, you can also find designs for Martin, Van Bergen, and Heininger.
doubt it as its considered a "promotion" they do at every game ala tshirt cannon style.
Thank you for addressing the elephant in the room. I'll take this one: the gifting of promotion t-shirts to student athletes shall be deemed acceptable so long as they are not in the middle of stretching upon reception.
they actually handed them back to who ever gave them the shirts which i think were other students. because they didnt have them and were wearing there blue shirts again after the game was over.
What's up with that hair?? Dread/mullet?? lol
Love the guy though, GO BLUE!!
Why did Denard do that to his lovely locks. They were all braided together and short at the end like Hemingway's dreads. COMMENCEFREAKOUTOVERDREADLOCKS!
I love that you were the one who commenced the freakout over flow, when your name is JR's flow...As a fellow flow connoisseur, well done. FLOW HARD. Go Blue!
Those are cornrows. They just look ridiculously big because Denard has a lot of hair.
I loved the shot of him learning how to dance for 'Blues Brothers,' and cracking up.
Naturally, the camera zoomed in on his expression when MSU got their first lead of the night. I thought for sure if we lost this game, Spartan fans would make that shot their screen saver.
I want to see him celebrating like that after beating those guys at the big house this Fall.
Loved the I HAZ A SAD shot of him after State took the late lead, contrasted with him jumping 20 feet in the air on Green's last shot! (somebody please find these!!!)
I was lovin watchin him juss enjoy being a kid. Go Blue!!! Now we juss gotta kick their ass in football year after year and all will be rite in the year
This better become a staple celebratory gif of MGoBlog. I'm really happy someone caught this. Thanks swamyblue.
It's up there with temptation
"...can't have one without the other....or the other"
Roy " The Terminator" Roundtree
I wonder how much clothes cost in the matrix.
Also, Roy "Blade" Roundtree
Is the kind of thing that makes me feel like there is some validity to me saying that Michigan football players are more down to earth than most major programs
Believe it would have been an NCAA violation due to it was a give away and everyone had a chance to get one
That could be. It wouldn't necessarily be an "extra benefit" for them being athletes.
Of course, I don't think they'd even bother going for the shirts - they get enough free Adidas stuff as it is.
Denard is a special human being on so many levels!
what is the dance? maize ragers looked super on tv. great job by the students and the student athletes. #GTB
My gf who is a UNC alumnus was lamenting how close the students are to the floor, commented on the great atmosphere . . . so yes. Tremendous.
Can't wait until someone can download the actual video of Denard and the Blue's Brothers. As great is the gif is the video will be MgoHistory!
That's great. Makes me wish I could roll back time. Great drum solo at the end.
Not to be all negative. It was a solid win, and Crisler looked pretty full, but my friend went to the game and called me after saying that the spartan fans were louder than our own (similar to when OSU fans took over the Big House in '09). When I was watching the game on TV, i had to go in the other room and when I could not see who scored I could not tell which team scored because the level of crowd noise was so similar in volume. Obviously just about all things basketball are getting better but we still don't have an intimidating or intense atmosphere.
I heard some pretty robust applause after Green hit that trey. I just assumed the cameraman was pretty close to some sparty fans.
Were state fans loud? Yes. They always have been in Crisler.
But they were NOT louder than the Michigan fans tonight (I was there).
I was in the upper section, closer to the MSU fans that were there, and I can say without any doubt that the Michigan fans were louder. When MSU briefly took the lead, things got a bit quieter, but overall it was a more raucus UM crowd than usual. There weren't any instances of the "Go Green" chant overwhelming the home crowd as there were in the past.
While I could hear the msu fans on tv, no way they were louder than the home crowd. The michigan fans were definitely rocking. I was impressed.
My kids were going nuts watching the game - not about how close the game was, but about Denard.
good for recruiting.
Denard is easily my second favorite wolverine of all time. Mostly due to his personality and the way he embraces Michigan in all aspects.
Woodson has always been my favorite, just because he could produce in all aspects of the game. Also his support for Motts is tremendous. Great player and great person, exactly what a wolverine should be.
Couldn't agree with you more. Woodson is iconic for what he does on the field and for Mott. Denard is going to be right there with him. Look forward to one spectaular year next year.
Denard's smile can light up a room! No homo.
happy and having fun in college..Denard is a TRUE Michigan man he loves Michigan! He represents everything good about college sports..!! Great Kid! good represenative of the University of Michigan..Shoelace for Heisman!!
Denard makes me wish I was 9 years old again, without my oversaturated Internet-supplied view of the football world. Fortunately, I had #21 to watch at that age.
That young man puts the fun into just about everything, it seems. Great to see that after what he did as a player, he gets to enjoy some of the same as one of the students. Guy is really the anti-Id; I'm sure he is (rightfully- proud of what he's done as an individual, but he just exudes "team" in such a genuine way. Awesome.
A lot more student athletes where like this.
It was impossible not to smile watching Denard and Roy. Great guys, and awesome ambassadors for Michigan. Ah!!! What a game! Bow Down lil Bro.
Everytime I see his smile I want to marry him.
We need to make this a tradition of the players going to the games after the bowl game is over.
Go blue
There were a fair number of state fans so its not surprising they were noticable. Also obviously not on tv but I know a bunch of the football players including denard have been to a bunch of softball games. The athlete community at michigan is pretty tight across a bunch of sports.
just how awesome a person Denard is.
just how awesome a person Denard is.
But maybe a double post will help...
College students having fun! It was great . . .
Odlicen avatar BubbaT33. Ajde Blue!
Next to Denard in the bandana! This clip has now been on ESPN and sportscenter. This has been one of the most awesome nights of my life. Go Blue.
Denard would make a great father. He seems to make the most out of wherever he is. Kids need that sort of influence.
Ordinary dad: Man! This is the seventh diaper I've had to change today. Seven! I think I just experienced every deadly sin. Fuck this shit, and FML.
Denard: I won't always have this opportunity, so I'm going to revel in this here diaper - mmm, reeks of boundless youth! <transition to tangential musing> I realize my days are numbered; life goes by the same way I go by linebackers: quickly. Life also leaves its laces undone. By the way, I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.
</I like to think this is why Denard always appears happy no matter where he is>
I love roundtree but im just not feeling the shades ha. All kidding aside, roy is cool as hell. lived on the same hall as him and shaw in west quad when they were freshman. he'd come to our room to hangout and play xbox. Biggest frontrunner i've ever met though, he was a patriots, yankees, and lakers fan ha
A bit of a humblebrag...but I'll allow it. And whats wrong with him being a frontrunner...I say the boy just likes to win!
Who were the other 2 players the other night w/ Denard and Roy?
pretty sure it was Frank Clark and Rawls, maybe one other but I don't remember
100% pure awesomeness.
There is no other individual in the universe who I would rather have as the face of Michigan Football.
I watched the basketball game, but afterwards I was watching the highlights on Sportscenter, and I caught a quick glimpse of Lloyd Brady. I had to rewind my dvr just to make sure....and yep, it was Lloyd. Good times.

There's no official word about an Audi R10 yet, but here's a nice artist rendering how it might look like.
These photos here show a supercar that sits above the R8 in the Audi lineup. Bembli envisions it as a lightweight supercar of around 1,200 kg (2,645 lbs) with a V10 engine of unspecified output.
It does make a good competitor to the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, now doesn't it? Looks-wise, at least.

Abstract: The notion of paradigms for information systems development (ISD) is introduced and two (classes of) paradigms, "the traditional" and "the Scandinavian School" are briefly described and contrasted. The latter is associated with action research, whose main characteristics are described. A particular ISD method of this kind is then introduced, and an attempt is made to evaluate the impact of some aspects of this commercially originated method in a primary care setting. Indications of effectiveness and acceptance are found, but due to contextual factors the conditions for an action research process are found to have been less than ideal.

Matt Damon says that he is happy to have turned 40 because all of his 'bigger questions' have been answered.
The married father-of-three said that he was happy to reach the milestone because he has everything that he wants.
He told Empire magazine, 'It's a good birthday – because a lot of the bigger questions are answered.
'I'm married with kids, all the things I was worried about at 30 I don't worry about any more.'
The actor shot to fame alongside best friend Ben Affleck after they co-wrote Good Will Hunting in 1997, and he said he hopes to be able to team up with his buddy again sometime in the future.
'You don't always get to work with the people that you want to. I mean, I haven't worked with Ben in years, and he's my best friend,' he added.

Today at 538:
So far this season, 45 players have been flagged for at least five offensive penalties, and six of those players are Raiders: backup lineman Vadal Alexander (8), followed by Penn (7), center Rodney Hudson (6), guard Gabe Jackson (6), WR Michael Crabtree (5) and guard Kelechi Osemele (5). In total, Raiders offensive linemen have been flagged for 33 penalties, nine more than any other offensive line in the league.
That's a lot of penalties, but what that analysis is missing is what's happening on all the plays that don't result in a penalty — especially if those plays include ones where the refs don't throw a flag because they've already thrown so many. And Oakland's offensive line is doing really, really well on those plays. No team has spent more 2016 salary cap dollars on its offensive line than the Raiders, and it's paid off: Oakland has been sacked on just 2.7 percent of all pass plays this season, the lowest rate in the NFL. And Oakland's top three running backs — Latavius Murray, DeAndre Washington, Jalen Richard — aren't highly-regarded and weren't drafted with premium picks, but they have rushed 156 times for 763 yards and 6 touchdowns, averaging 4.9 yards per attempt. The Oakland line is getting things done.
