An exquisite game-Magic the Gathering
If someone is fond of playing card games and is also interested in buying a new one, then it is advisable that he should go for the most renowned trading card game nowadays, Magic The Gathering. It is not today that people have started playing card games. They are being played since years. The reason behind the intense popularity of such games is that, not only do they provide a good entertainment but also they makes use of the intelligent quotient of one's mind, thereby increasing his level of knowledge in aptitude. Hence, the card games have gained intense popularity ever since their existence and Magic The Gathering is no exception. The uniqueness of this game is its USB. It is a amalgamation of one's luck and skills. Various video games have also been developed which incorporates this game and it can now also be played online. The Play Station has launched this game and hence has becomes very famous not only among children but also among adults.
More about the game:
Te basic factor which helps a game to gain much popularity in different regions of the world is its storyline. It has to be interesting if the manufacturers of the game want it to be a hit. The two most mysterious things in a game of Magic The Gathering are wizards and magic. The cards that are used in this game are mostly magical cards which help people to enter in a world of magic which they otherwise would have only dreamed of. Just like the Harry Potter series which has become intense popular among the masses because it incorporated magic at different levels, same is the case with this game. it has enhance the people desire of experiencing magic. There are basically two broad categories of magical cards. The first is referred to as spells and the other one is called lands. If any player while playing gets a land card, then he would receive a magical fuel, which is termed as mana. The fuel is used to perform magic. The spells can further be classified into various types. Spells, as the name suggests are used to beat the other opponent by casting it on him. The war of magic is continued by using spells and lands and the opponent who loses all his life first, is declared as the loser of Magic The Gathering.
The magical cards
The magical cards that help in casting spells are of different types too. It is subdivided into 5 types. Each type has its own color. And each color of the card defines the unique nature of the card. The 5 different colors are green, blue, black, red and white. White magic is considered to be a good card. It is generally used for healing wounds and from prevention from any kind of damage. The black card, on the other hand is a evil card. Hence, each card as its own unique quality which a player can use for his advantage. It is the use of these cards that would affect the overall fate of a player in the game of Magic The Gathering.

Has your normal strength training routine gone a bit...stale? Tired of putting in hours at the gym but not getting the expected results? It could be time to ramp up your workouts with high-intensity training, or HIT.
Originally developed in the 1970s by trainers and coaches of professional athletes, HIT is a specialized approach to strength training that has shown to provide better results in less time and with less risk of injury. These perks make HIT suitable for many people, including non-athletes and those simply trying to lose weight and become more fit, regardless of age or gender.
HIT is demanding, both physically and mentally. As with any form of high-intensity exercise, you need to be in good basic health and free from any significant cardiovascular risk factors and muscle or joint problems that could limit your capacity to exercise safely at a more demanding level. If you have any doubts or concerns, consult your doctor before trying any of these techniques.
Principles of HIT
1. The Secret to Achieving Perfect Form
You're doing it right if the target muscle is trembling, shaking and burning during your last repetition. Pain in a joint or a non-target muscle is usually a red flag that your form is wrong. Implementing the perfect form principle is mainly a matter of focus and concentration. You need to pay close attention to the "rules" of good form at all times during your workout (including proper breathing and body position) and to your timing.
2. The Triple Progressive Overload Principle
General HIT Guidelines
Everyone, from marathon runners to competitive power lifters to 58-year-old guys trying to stay in shape, can use HIT to achieve their goals, but you may need to adjust the general approach to suit your needs. If you're interested in HIT, I highly recommend the book, "High Intensity Training" by John Philbin. Also, check out our related article about high-intensity interval training.

TUINA MASSAGE LEVELS I AND II – BEIJING ChinaStudies is now offering a comprehensive Tui Na Massage training program. The program combines our Level 1 Tui Na curriculum as well as the Level 2 advanced Tui Na curriculum. Train personally with the Tui Na Masters in Beijing, China!
FENG SHUI IMMERSION IN CHINA! ChinaStudies offer the ultimate in Feng Shui training. See the ancient sites with your own Feng Shui eyes. Experience entire communities still living in the spirit of Feng Shui. We will introduce you to unique individuals practicing the art of Feng Shui in the mystical land of its origin.
CFSP – CERTIFIED FENG SHUI PROFESSIONAL In 1993, the ChinaStudies – Feng Shui Designs Learning Center offered one of the first Feng Shui Training Programs in the U.S.A. Since that time, founders and instructors, Helen and James Jay have trained hundreds of successful professional consultants. We invite you to become one of the most highly trained professionals in this exciting new field.
CFSS – CERTIFIED FENG SHUI STAGING Feng Shui Designs, Inc. is now offering an exciting program developed for Feng Shui enthusiasts by James Jay – Certified Feng Shui Stagers! Using Feng Shui techniques we can increase the effectiveness of tried and true staging protocols.
Dear James and Helen, "I would travel 12,000 kilometers across oceans, I would go backwards in time, I would suffer sleep deprivation, I would carry heavy loads across the continents, I would wait hours for transport, I would be patient until help came to get me, Just to have the chance to learn from you. All this I did, and would happily do again!" –-DEE RAFFERTY, AUSTRALIA
"I took James' class actually two years ago. BUT! I had the most interesting experience with HIS Feng Shui Training. It touched me so deeply on all levels that I feel as it was last week. What is even more interesting, whenever I go to a consultation or a class to teach, I make myself go back in time and be in the same room we were. I match that vibration he created in the class. It takes 20 seconds, and then I feel prepared to go. I have never experienced anything like this with any of the teachers I have met in my life. It was so much more than I could dream about. He was such a calm, knowledgeable, graceful and humble teacher that I was impressed in my deepest soul. He was not just teaching, but he could handle all our impulsive, out of topic questions bombarding him. I have no clue how he could answer all those questions and finish all he wanted to teach us on that day at the same time; but he covered everything he promised on his website. It is said to be a general, or beginner Feng Shui class, but it was more an advance level to me. This was the first time I met BTB. I felt I have found a brand new Feng Shui. I feel so blessed to listen to my intuition and went to his training not listening to any of those "helpful concerns": "it's too far, you need to drive 2 hours every day, and it is a lot of money." It might be, but I would do it again, and I will be the first to sign up to his advance Feng Shui training. If you are looking for a good BTB Feng Shui teacher, you have fond the Best One!"–-HENRIETTE GLANT, GALVESTON, TEXAS
"The Tui Na program was excellent. Instructors were knowledgeable and well prepared. There was enough practical time to practice techniques. All the staff were very kind and went out of their way to accommodate us."–David Ringle, Sacramento, California.
"It is my wish to express gratitude and appreciation for allowing my soul to fly to China! You have arranged a convenient, affordable and culturally enriched package for those seeking to travel the ancient lands of Asia. The staff and teachers were great. Thanks for fulfilling a seven-year dream."–Kevin Quinlin, Toronto, Canada

Studies done on this topic have suggested some interesting findings that I will share with you. One interesting thing in particular, when it comes to the "Not eating breakfast is bad for you", is that the neuroprotective and cognitively beneficial effects of intermittent fasting which arise from not eating breakfast, are rarely mentioned, despite having solid evidence in science.
healthy breakfast
There are 4 posts tagged healthy breakfast (this is page 1 of 1).
Does Breakfast Make Us Happier?
Breakfast is certainly one interesting topic of discussion. On the one hand, many believers like to claim it's the holy grail of healthy eating. On the other hand, we know very few empirical claims actually support that notion. However, there is another interesting question that has been of interest to scientists – does a healthy breakfast have any influence on your mood or other emotional states? This article explores that question.
Article guide:
Effects of breakfast on mood
Breakfast seems to improve mood for a few hours, according to one study. The authors noted that the healthiness did not play a role, improvements were observed in all cases. In all honesty, this does not come as a surprise – it's very likely people experienced an increase in blood glucose levels, following their morning meal.
Due to this, their bodies had more energy which could have had an impact on their mood. This idea is supported by another study which found something similar. In this one, scientists observed a very strong overlap between the mood-improving effects of consuming breakfast and differences in blood glucose levels.
What happened was, people reported lower mood levels around the same time when one would expect for the glucose levels to go down back again. Therefore, giving further weight to this idea.
Hyperactivity, depression, anxiety
Another study was assessing differences in hyperactivity, depression, and anxiety. Students who were regular breakfast eaters scored better on all three mentioned scales. They were less hyperactive, reported less anxiety, and scored lower on depressive symptomatics, compared to students who weren't regular breakfast eaters.
This finding was especially clear for hyperactivity, since it was measured by their teachers. The results were astonishing, they reported between between 10% to 50% less hyperactivity in some students. If you're a teacher, imagine having students who would be 10% to 50% less hyperactive in class. Sounds like something you would like, doesn't it?
However, different symptoms of anxiety and depression were judged by students themselves. The improvements here could have been due to a social desirability bias. This would, in effect, cause a higher chance for the students to answer in a way the scientists would have wanted them to. Another thing worth mentioning is that the depression scale wasn't a standardized questionnaire for MDD; Major depressive disorder. They measured only certain aspects of depressive symptoms, the same goes for anxiety and hyperactivity – none of the used questionnaires were clinical tools.
There is another important caveat. These results could be interpreted in other possible ways. The improvements could have been a consequence of other variables, not measured by this study. However, due to the nature of the study itself, it's hard to give any definitive answers.
The important thing to take home from this one is the possibility of breakfast influencing certain aspects of our psychological functioning; depression, anxiety, and hyperactivity.
Another interesting study gave its participants different breakfasts. They wanted to know whether a different macronutrient composition would have a different effect.
One group had a high fat, low carb breakfast. It included back, eggs, and some toast. The other group had a high carb breakfast. It included cereals and toast. People from the first group reported improvements in mood, they even described themselves as more sociable, outward-going, and less bored afterwards.
Similar effects were observed in another one, where people with a high fat, low carb breakfast reported feeling less tense, not as uncertain, drowsy or muddled, compared to other participants with different types of breakfast.
However, Caveats
While all the mentioned studies certainly give interesting insights, as I've mentioned half-through the post, there are always a lot of other variables which could have been present. And due to the nature of these studies; they didn't control for certain possible variables, I would remain skeptical up to a certain point. As I've said in my chapter posts questionnaire studies aren't always the firmest stone to set your foot on.
And while eating a healthy breakfast can definitely contribute to the healthiness of your eating patterns in general, we have to distinguish between simply promoting breakfast, and promoting a breakfast that will include the important macronutrients which will further enhance your quality of life.
PS: Some of these studies were sponsored by Kelloggs. They used their own cereals as breakfast food. I will leave the interpretation of that for everyone to decide on their own.
How to Get Your Kids to Eat Breakfast?
Are you a parent and want your little one to start eating a healthy breakfast for one reason or another? Science has a good possible answer how you could teach them. You will find out how in the following lines.
Why is Breakfast the Most Important Meal of the Day?
This notion is deeply engraved in the mindset of most people. However, science has a thing or two to say about this matter.

This Day in History: October 14
by Jessica on Oct.13, 2011, under Today in History
October 14, 1964: Oglala Lakota Billy Mills (Makata Taka Hela) becomes the second American Indian in history to win an Olympic gold medal
Mills (born 1938) was raised on the Pine Ridge reservation. He trained as an athlete from an early age, later garnering many awards and earning sports scholarships that put him through college. He became a cross-country track star before graduating and joining the US Marines.
His record and training qualified him to compete for both the 10,000 meter and marathon events in the '64 Tokyo Olympics, where his 24:4:4 win in the 10k was one of the great upsets in the history of the games. He was inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame in 1984.
Today, Mills is the spokesperson for Running Strong, an outreach organization for Native youth.

John Farr discusses one of Sidney Poitier's magnificent films, directed by Daniel Petrie.
A Raisin in the Sun (1961)
What It's About:
Walter Lee Younger (Sidney Poitier) is a proud but frustrated young man counting on his recently widowed mother, Lena (Claudia McNeil), to let him invest her $10,000 life-insurance check in a business which could lift him and his family out of their dead-end existence. Despite her son's entreaties, Lena plans to buy a home and leave Chicago's South Side for good, stoking Walter's anguish and resentment.
Why I Love It:
Based on Lorraine Hansberry's play, Daniel Petrie's magnificent "A Raisin In The Sun" provides an ideal star vehicle for young Poitier's explosive talent. The actor projects barely suppressed rage as he pleads with Claudia McNeil's resolute matriarch, who wants to use her money to buy a new home. Poitier's raw desperation is palpable as his one chance to better himself slips away. See this for Poitier's intense performance, and McNeil's equally powerful turn as his mother. Ruby Dee also scores as Ruth, Walter's long-suffering wife.

Prince of Egypt New York Reviews
3 reviews
Jan 14, 2006
One of my most-visited take out "restaurants" in Manhattan! Ok, well maybe its just a cart on the side of the street, but it definitely serves THE BEST lamb & beef gyros ever, and for only $3.50, you'll find yourself going back there again and again.. if you can find the cart, that is. There are plenty of these types of street vendors in New York, but spending a couple of extra minutes trying to find Prince of Egypt's won't leave you disappointed. The meat is juicy and perfectly marinated, topped with veggies and special sauce in a warm pita bread. There isn't anywhere to sit while you eat, but don't New Yorkers eat on the go anyway? Yum..

The Elephant in the Canadian Health Care System
Last week the Canadian Medical Association released its Voices into Action report summarizing the feedback it received at its public town halls on Medicare. The same three questions provided a framework for discussion at each of the six town halls. The first question asked about broadening the Canada Health Act, the second about good value in health care and the third about patients' responsibilities for their health now and in the future. None of the questions addressed health care funding or spending. Money is the elephant in the Canadian health care system.
Patients aren't the only ones left in the dark when it comes to knowing the cost of medical services. Last year at an appointment with a specialist, my husband inquired about paying directly for an endoscopy rather than spending months on a waiting list. The doctor told him that he could get one outside of the country for around $20,000. I found a facility in British Columbia that offered one for $2,000.
It only makes sense that each of us should be responsible for our own health. Each of us makes personal choices affecting our health every day. If I'm going to be vigilant about my health then it's also important to be vigilant about the health care I receive. Provide me with service and price information. Let me spend my own money on my own health care that way I can compare quality and price and make sure that I am getting good value for my health care dollars.
Despite decades of political promises, billions of taxpayer dollars and a constant tweaking of Medicare, our access to care continues to decline and the quality of care continues to deteriorate. It's time for a new competitive and innovative health care system. It's time for consumers of health care to become customers of health care. It's time to start talking about the elephant in the Canadian health care system.

Life in the Ville by Jimmy Del Ponte
(The opinions and views expressed in the commentaries of The Somerville Times belong solely to the authors of those commentaries and do not reflect the views or opinions of The Somerville Times, its staff or publishers)
Oh Boy, another birthday! As my mother used to say, "What's the alternative?" I say, keep them coming! I am happy to report that I have never felt happier or healthier. And as the title of this column states, I have spent my life in the Ville!
60 of my 61 years have been in Somerville, except for one year living in California, and one year in Florida and probably around three years at other Somerville addresses. I have grown up with most of my fellow classmates from Somerville High School's class of 1971.
One of the many things I love about living here is the fact that I still see lots of those classmates. I just borrowed a 1971 yearbook and had fun looking through it. As I said, I still bump into many of those kids at Home Depot, in traffic, and even in other states. I say kids because that's how I feel. It's like my body aged but my mind didn't. I still feel like a 16-year-old kid at heart. Maybe it's because my youngest son is just shy of 17? Maybe it's because I am lucky to have a job that allows me to work with kids? Maybe it's because I am still just that immature child in a grown up body. I don't know. I do know that I am in a very good place. I also know that it could all change in a nanosecond so I am going to enjoy it while I can.
I picked my son up the other day from his job at the Somerville Theatre. I looked around the lobby amidst the wonderful smell of fresh popcorn and reflected for a second. How blessed am I to be able to merely walk into a building and be bombarded with so many memories. My dad worked at the theater and so did I. Dad was an usher there around 1935 and me around 1969. The movies of dad's tenure were Mutiny on The Bounty and The Bride of Frankenstein. Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy were being shown when I was shining the flashlight up in the balcony. A plethora of remembrances in one location. I really appreciate that gift. My daily routine also brings me by other former job locations, such as Lyndell's Bakery, and places that used to house businesses like Woolworths and my old newspaper delivery office.
I have been walking up the stairs of the same house in Somerville since 1961. The number of families that were there when we moved in are dwindling and every couple of years another one of their houses are sold. Happily, two of my childhood friends who were already on the street when we came are still there. All are Somerville High grads and musicians like me.
I have seen many mayors, aldermen, school committee people, teachers, cops, firemen, and city workers come and go (just this morning I drove by my friend, former Engine 7 firefighter Joe Galvin's house and stopped for 5 seconds just to say hi. That's Somerville to me). Today I am lucky to work with some of the best!
Can you believe that I have walked or driven down my street at least 20,000 times in my lifetime? And the longer I live in Somerville the more I like it. I am also lucky to be working with Somerville's Swinging singing Seniors, also known as The Moonlighters. I get to be the kid of that group and love laughing and singing with them. We have become close friends.
So as I turn 61 in Somerville, I am still loving this city. I will try to maintain the excitement I had when I was 16. I am blessed to be directing Somerville's Project STAR, and The Sunsetters. I'm enjoying helping to get my second kid ready for college in the fall, and watching my granddaughter grow. Son # 2 will be a junior this year. I even still enjoy writing this column and I hope you enjoy reading it. Stay tuned because if anything changes you will be the first ones to hear it! (I'm just dying to go off on a tirade!!) But for now, every time I wake up I say to myself, "Cool … I get to do it again!!"

If Gunner Kiel enjoys "eliminating Notre Dame" then Michigan is the perfect place for him.
Wednesday Recruitin' At Half-Tank
2012 Offer Board lives here.
Decisions on Deck?
IN QB Gunner Kiel has eliminated Notre Dame, and is down to a final four of Michigan, Missouri, Alabama, and Oklahoma. He is planning a June decision.
Not only is OH DE Chris Wormley excelling in field events (discus and shot put) this spring, he's dropping recruiting info to track reporters:
"Everything I do [in the three sports] helps all around," said Wormley, whose top two colleges choices right now are Michigan first and Ohio State second, followed by Michigan State and Notre Dame. "It keeps me conditioned throughout the season. [Track] ties into everything."
Now that Scout is asking the customary headline-question-where-the-answer-is-always-yes about whether Wormley will decide soon ($, info in header), it could mean another commitment isn't far off for the maize-and-blue. He told Tom that he'll focus on recruiting once track ends. Magnus talks about Wormley's surprisingly low Rival ranking on Maize n Brew:
It looks like he put on some weight, and it doesn't necessarily look like pure muscle. Secondly, it looks like he's either favoring some part of his body or he just lacks aggression... I'm saying it looks like something is wrong. Additionally, he doesn't get off the ball as quickly in his junior film, and it looks like he lost a notch in the speed department.
Early offers from Michigan and Ohio State speak to his potential, but he's going to have to capture his sophomore-year fitness (he certainly doesn't look fat in the track photo above) and form to improve his standing to the recruiting services.
MI CB Terry Richardson has been on-again, off-again about making a decision at some point this week. If such a decision does come to pass, it will be tomorrow morning at 11:45 in the Cass Tech weight room, but as of right now, it seems like the conference will be delayed again - but he'll announce on social media sites at 8AM tomorrow.
Fill 'er Up
With the 2012 class about half-full (per the expectations come Signing Day, at least), it's time to look at what needs remain for the next crop of Wolverines and which positions must be filled:
- QB: 0-1. The commitment of 2013's Shane Morris allows the coaching staff to be very selective about a QB in this class. They can either swing for the fences with Gunner Kiel, or go for a multi-position guy.
- RB: 1-2. Brady Hoke clearly wants one running back in this class (though it seems they're content to pursue mostly elite prospects) and probably a fullback as well.
- WR: 1. With Darryl Stonum, Junior Hemingway, and Martavious Odoms moving on after this year, at least one wideout is necessary for roster balance. Another would be a luxury.
- TE: 0-1. Early on, it seemed like Michigan would take another tight end despite already having two committed. Now, that isn't looking like the case (sorry, Ron Thompson).
- OL: 2-3. At least one true left tackle is a big need, and another right tackle would give Ben Braden the opportunity to play on the interior.
- DT: 2. With a couple light years in defensive tackle recruiting, a pair of them are needed in this class.
- DE: 1-2. Chris Wormley is the obvious choice here, but the coaching staff might accept another commitment if it's an elite guy.
- S: 1-2. Depending on where Raymon Taylor and Tamani Carter end up from last year's class, this may not be as dire a need as it seems.
- CB: 1-2. With a big crop of DBs in 2011, they can be selective about who they take.
As always in recruiting, this is subject to change at a moment's notice. You'll note that the coaching staff will have to be selective at some of those positions, though they'll figure out a way to take any elite prospects.
New Offers (And Potential New Offers)
Michigan is showing interest in ID QB Tanner Mangum. He's currently committed to BYU.
UT FB/RB Sione Houma has picked up a Michigan offer.
Benson said Michigan and Washington have both recruited Houma with the intention of moving him to fullback, but other schools, such as UCLA, are interested in him as a tailback.
Michigan has offered a bunch of fullback-types.
Michigan has offered IL DE/DT Faith Ekakitie.
FL S Allen Gant - the son of former Wolverine Tony Gant - has received his Michigan offer. He's going to visit Ann Arbor within the next couple weeks.
If Michigan offers TX CB Will Hines, they'll have a spot in his top 5. That offer could come through as early as today.
Happy Trails
Happy Trails from the future, OH RB/DB William Mahone? There's "an almost 100% chance" he'll eventually pick Penn state, per one expert.
Happy Trails, TX FB/LB Dominic Ramacher. He committed to Oklahoma State.
Happy Trails, OH WR Corey Smith. The teammate of OH S Jarrod Wilson, he will attend Tennessee after a stint at junior college.
Happy Trails, FL LB Raphael Kirby. He picked Miami. Something tells me the coaching staff isn't sweating when linebackers come off the board.
Nominees for the US Army All-American Bowl are out (pdf link), and include a number of Michigan commits (Jenkins-Stone, Ringer, Ojemudia, Bolden), and too many targets to list. The 440 nominess will be whittled down to 90ish selections.
The Sporting News ranks Michigan's 2012 class as 6th/7th nationally at this point in the offseason. The Lansing State Journal takes note of Michigan's fast recruiting start.
OH TE Commit AJ Williams is keeping in touch with OH DE Adolphus Washington and OH WR Dwayne Stanford about picking Michigan:
Michigan is looking to capitalize on a few "ins" of its own. The first is Stanford's boyhood affinity for the Maize and Blue. The second is Stanford and Washington's relationship with recent Michigan commitment, Cincinnati Sycamore tight end A.J. Williams.
"(Williams) called me all excited and said he committed to Michigan and told me that me and Aldophus need to get with the program and head on up to Ann Arbor with him and they wouldn't be able to stop us," Stanford recalled. "I'm loving Michigan right now. I have nothing but positive energy and thoughts on my mind about them. Coach (Mark) Smith and A.J. stay on me too. Especially with him committing there, that really helps me. We're just going to see how everything plays out.
The Wolverines definitely need a wideout, and Washington is the type of athlete it would be really hard to turn down, but the Cincy products are both planning to wait until January to announce decisions. We'll see how much room is left in Michigan's class (and what the needs are) when the time comes. Stanford is visiting Michigan soon ($, info in header).
PA RB Greg Garmon has narrowed to a top 5 of Michigan, UNC, Iowa, Illinois, and West Virginia. He does say that some of the schools in that top 5 could change.
Michigan and two mystery schools make up the top three for CA OL Erik Magnuson. He will take an official visit to Ann Arbor in the fall.
CO OL Paul Thurston visited Michigan a couple weeks ago, and it helped Michigan stay near the top of his list.
TX OL Trey Keenan has family in Michigan, and he says the Wolverines are likely to make the cut when he trims his list. He wants to make a final decision before the start of his senior season.
OH DE Se'Von Pittman talks recruiting, including his interest in Michigan:
"I've taken a few visits around to some different campuses," Pittman said. "I've checked out Michigan and Michigan State and Notre Dame." ...He could be an outside linebacker in some scenarios or a defensive end or maybe something more. Notre Dame wants him to be a quarterback-hunting outside linebacker and Michigan wants him to be whatever he wants.
The Wolverines are loading up on defensive ends and linebackers, and Se'Von is going to take his time deciding. That could mean there won't be room for him in the 2012 class by the time he makes a decision.
Though he's a Penn State soft commit, NY DT Jarron Jones is "anxious to learn" on his trip to Ann Arbor next month ($, info in header). Based on a local article, it really sounds like he doesn't consider himself committed to the Nittany Lions at all:
"It's really about where I feel comfortable. Where do I fit in, where are they going to have me? Some coaches want me at offensive, some at defensive end, some at linebacker."
Something tells me a 6-7, 300 pound guy is unlikely to play linebacker in college. He's been nominated for the Army all-American game.
MI OL/DT DaRon Brown will camp at Michigan this summer to try to earn an offer. IL CB Anthony Standifer is continuing to blow up, with new offers from the likes of Purdue and Iowa, Northwestern, and others.
MI QB Commit Shane Morris will participate in an Elite 11 tryout in Columbus this weekend. 2012 prospects Gunner Kiel and Zeke Pike will also be in attendance. The Free Press covers Morris's commitment.
MI RB Wyatt Shallman tells Tom what the coaching staff thinks of his ability as a running back.
There seems to be conflicting reports about Kiel. Some mod at 247sports said that he actually hasn't narrowed his list. It is behind a paywall, but the info is in the header.
There were reports that he was a Missouri, which also turned out to be false. Tim can you clarify if he has a top 4 and if the article is just saying he hasn't narrowed it down since then.
As to why Gunner took ND off his list? I imagine that ND preferred Gunner to Mauk. Just seems odd.
he would have to deal with a Greg Mattison defense on a national stage once a year, might as well play it safe.
From the beginning, it seemed like he only had lukewarm interest in the Irish (for whatever reason). That they kept pursuing him so heavily seems to me to be the only reason they lasted as long as they did.
It will be interesting to see if this momentum keeps up the rest of the summer. I could see a few of the CB/S prospects following suit if Richardson decides on us tomorrow. And I can only imagine what the signing of a prospect like Gunner would do for our recruiting. I mean what receiver/RB/OL wouldn't want to play with the pretty much the consensus top ranked QB in the nation?
just tweeted that a decision might come sooner tha expected!
At the same camp this weekend. There could be an interesting conversation between the two regarding the Maize and Blue.
Maybe they can decide who will play Tom Brady and who will play Drew Henson?
I'm down with Washington and Stanford. I don't know if I should get my hopes up, but I can only be optimistic when I hear a kid say, " I'm loving Michigan right now. I have nothing but positive energy......"
Yes please.
Yeah, that would be a great tandom. It would take a lot of pressure off of getting more receivers, and although Washington is hardly at a position of need at this point, he's a great prospect to pick up. It would guarantee us fantastic DE play for the foreseeable future.
Add in Dunn and we will be looking really good.
and I continue to be really interested in anything you can tell us about BDunn's status. Is there any data on him that we haven't heard? When considering Garmon and Dunn, who is the recruit more likely to choose UM? Haven't heard much since Dunn was on campus weeks ago...Love how the commits keep the recruiting up amongst their peers!
I thought Allen Gant was from OH, not FL?
He is Ohio.
A powerlifting/strongman friend of mine (Ohio State fan), sent me the following message today with regard to Gant. He's super sharp when it comes to all things S&C, so I guarantee there's some merit to what he says.
"My buddy Allen told me in the gym today Hoke called him with an offer yesterday. I plan to break his leg now. In all seriousness, the kid is going to be a stud this year and has put on muscle like crazy since last fall. Today he was hitting around 34-36" on the vertical, his best last year was 32"."
No print link for the Freep article? For shame, Tim.
The print links now have ads on them, so it doesn't matter.
"The Sporting News ranks Michigan's 2012 class as 6th/7th nationally at this point in the offseason."
This is an important ranking as Hoke & Co. continue to go after the "upper level" recruits !!! Lovin it !
Go Blue !
Wow...I can't place if that's porn music, a 70's gameshow, or 70's citcom music...Or just a hybrid of the 3!
Either way, WTF made this person choose that music!?!? Did he have that on 8 track just waiting to grace a highlight film!
I probably wouldn't have even watched the tape had it not been for your comment. Thank you for making my day
After checking my extensive database, i can confidently assure you that it is NOT porn music.
However it might be the soundtrack for a 1989 Amway® human resources training video.
Sounds like late '80s-to-mid '90s rock/jazz by some group you've never heard of. Too fast and lively for porn, Amway, or sitcom.
I didn't detest it as much as all the rap stuff I invariably turn off on other videos.
A true connoisseur.
the quicker gunner gets back up to A2 the better. what are the chances t rich even announces tomorrow?
he's going to announce at 8AM over twitter and facebook. He cancelled the press conference because family couldn't make it. He's not cancelling the announcement, just how he announces it
... in the Freep article.
"Morris and Pike met last month at a 7-on-7 in Pittsburgh, with the sophomore having the better showing."
BTW: How do you make block quotes these days?
I'm loving the Mattison recruiting thus far and love the future of the defensive side of the ball and trust that the OL will work itself out closer to signing day, but I remain worried about offense. After we lose Odoms, Hemingway, and Stonum after 2011 and Roundtree and
Stokes after 2012 whats left at WR? Gallon and Dileo have been mostly return men and the likely slots that leaves us with Jerald Robinson and Jeremy Jackson out wide.
Isn't this a highly desirable depth chart for 2012 WRs and with a likely upperclassman Gardner taking snaps in a pro-style offense, shouldn't we be able to get 1 or 2 blue-chip wideouts? It's been too long since Braylon, it's time that finding our next #1 becomes a priority. Hopefully Hoke and Mattison can make this happen, and I'd say that landing a big-time skill player is the last recruiting hurdle that the new staff has yet to prove it can overcome. Fingers crossed for Burbridge and another!
I agree, not worried. And I mentioned this in a thread last night (I think in response to you also) that people are forgetting about Baquer Sayed. Kid won't be a star, but he'll be a solid contributor once the older guys leave and until the young guys we bring in become stars. Look for him to be the #2 or #3 WR for a year if needed.
But with recruits from 2012 and 2013, it probably won't be needed.
Meh. Baquer Sayed isn't going to do anything more at WR than your standard slow-ish WR. He might be able to run a short hitch or catch a fade once in awhile (i.e. once in his career). He's not fast enough to even be a threat on the field. If we get down to having to play Sayed, we're going to be in trouble.
I think you're right. I don't think we'll ever need Sayed, but my post was more in response to the people freaking out about 2013 because we won't have any bodies at WR. Chances are, the scholarship guys we have will be enough and we won't have to dip that low, but I'm just saying that Sayed is an oft-overlooked guy who is not really your typical walk-on. Most walk-ons are here because they didn't have scholarship offers from anyone, want to go to Michigan and are also pretty good football players. Sayed was a guy who had multiple FBS offers, but chose to pass up a full-ride to walk on at UM.
In 2010, in Rivals top 30 players from the state of Michigan, Sayed was #30 and Jeremy Jackson was #22. There were other Big Ten players below and just above Sayed (#34 was also a WR who signed with Iowa), so he's no slouch.
Rudy,Rudy,Rudy.......Baquer, Baquer, Baquer......
That if Se'von and Adolphus both wanted to commit at some point, room would be made. There has been talk that some of Michigan's DE recruits could move inside, and someone like Wormley could move to OT if Michigan got commits from all of them.
People say this a lot, but I'm not entirely sure what it means. If the class is full, how can we just make room? Is it that we will always leave a couple of spots until signing day? Or we won't give a senior a 5th year? How exactly does that work?
Not offering a 5th year is one way, but I have a feeling that our total number of commits will be 22+ no matter what, so that really wasn't what I was getting at. I'm not saying over signing either.
I think it's more a combination of Michigan leaving a couple spots open until near the end, maybe taking one of these guys instead of a lower rated player at a position of less focus (say another 3-star O-lineman wants to commit and Michigan has commitments from 5/6 that they wanted going in, maybe they don't take one of the DEs rather than the O-lineman), and also that their are polite ways to tell recruits that their best option may be elsewhere.
I'm not saying that the coaching staff is going to say "well you committed but we don't really want you so take a hike" to anyone, but they may say "we have extended and offer and that offer is still there, but it may be in your best interest to look around a bit to make sure this is what you want." Coaches often check up often on their commits to make sure they are solid, things can happen with that, so on and so forth where a kid "no longer is feeling the love". I'm sure the coaching staff knows how to handle the situations better than what I described, but there are morally acceptable ways to make room for players you want without oversigning. And basically, in the end, recruiting is a always changing, very fluid situation up until signing day, when the next cycle begins.
Watch his sophomore highlights, then watch his junior highlights. I doubt you'll say the same thing.
He claims a 4.5 forty on his Scout profile, and I remember reading that he had one of the fastest times at one of the combines he attended.
I don't think he's Denard Robinson fast, but he's not slow, either.
Idc how fast or big he is as long as he has swivel hips hips and tenacity ill take him.
That settles it, you know more about DB recruiting than Nick Saban.
You already said this exact same thing within this very thread.

Just why does a Diesel engine get better fuel economy than a gas engine? Well, they work differently and burn different fuel, for starters. A gasoline engine uses a spark ignition system and a Diesel engine uses the heat created by a very high compression ratio to ignite the fuel. There is actually work underway, by Mercedes Benz and others, to operate a gas engine using diesel-like compression ignition, for at least a portion of the time.
There are a few reasons for the increased of most diesel engines when compared to gas engines. One reason for the lower fuel consumption is that diesel fuel has a higher energy density than does gasoline. For example, standard diesel fuel has an energy density of approximately 139K BTU per gallon. On the other hand, gasoline has fractionally less energy, about 125,000 BTU per gallon. As a way of comparison, much touted ethanol is far below either of these two, at about 85K BTU / gallon. That means that a gallon of diesel there has a greater ability to provide propulsive energy, if the efficiency of combustion is equal.
There is another primary reason that diesel engines tend to get better fuel economy than a gasoline power plant. This reason is due to the fuel delivery system of diesel engines; direct injection. Direct injection is more conducive to ensuring all the fuel atomized and is burned. Obviously more complete combustion leads to greater efficiency and lower fuel consumption. The same reasons have led to direct fuel injection systems being adopted for gasoline engines from various auto makers, including Cadillac, Saturn, Audi, and Pontiac. Expect to see wider adoption of this technology on gasoline engines in the near future as a way to decrease emissions and save fuel.
Differences in Power Delivery Between Gasoline and Diesel Engines
A diesel engine tends to develop power lower in the RPM range than an a comparable gas engine. In addition, the diesel will usually develop more maximum torque but less horsepower than a gasoline engine. This means that depending upon the use, the actual fuel economy figures from both gas and diesel engines can be very different indeed. Diesels are typically excel at lower, more constant speed operation while pulling heaver vehicles, while gasoline engines are better suited to lighter vehicles, variable speeds and rapid acceleration.
That partially explains the widespread use of diesel power plants in trucks. They will deliver much higher fuel economy than a comparable gasoline engine when towing heavy loads, and more easily climb steep hills when doing so. There are also durability advantages to diesel engines, especially in heavy duty applications. The operational differences between diesel and gas engines also helps explain the really high highway fuel economy figures returned by passenger cars with small, turbo diesel engines, such as the TDI powered VW Jetta (41 EPA Hwy MPG).
That's why a diesel engine get better fuel economy than a gas engine.
Until next time………

The symbol or Kanji that we are used to seeing with Reiki is from the Japanese Kanji used in the written language of Japan. Rei- spiritual wisdom and Ki- life energy.
This representation is actually two kanji. Rei is the upper character and is comprised of three sections. The upper section portrays clouds and the heavens which represents the higher levels of consciousness that is beyond ego. Some call it the Universal Force, the Source, or God.
The lower section represents the earth and portrays layers of soil and stone.
The middle section (the three rounded squares) symbolizes the three aspects of the human being, the body, mind and spirit. It also represents the healer who is located between the heaven and earth and acts as a bridge between the two realms.
Ki is vital life energy that flows around and through all living things.
When Ki (or Chi in China) is low we are more vulnerable to illness of body and mind. This life energy has an important role in everything we do and express in our life on earth. Unlike many other cultures of the world, our western culture has no word for this wonderful life energy, therefore it is poorly understood and minimally researched.

ANTHONY Stokes admits he doesn't normally relish a trek up the A9 with Celtic. But the striker is looking forward to being greeted by one very familiar face when the champions face Inverness Caledonian Thistle at lunchtime tomorrow.
John Hughes, the new Inverness manager, has been the most influential figure in Stokes' career. While Falkirk boss, Hughes signed the then teenage Stokes on loan from Arsenal in 2006 and was rewarded with 16 goals in 18 appearances by the Irishman.
Stokes then teamed up with Hughes again in 2009 when he moved to Hibs from Sunderland. His form for the Easter Road club under Hughes earned him his near £1 million transfer to Celtic the following year.
Even now, Stokes still refers to Hughes as "gaffer" in conversation. The 25-year-old regards him as both a mentor and a friend and is delighted to see him back in management.
"I still keep in touch with the gaffer," says Stokes. "When he got the Inverness job I tried to ring him a couple of times but his phone must have been going out of control. So I texted him instead and I wished him all the best. He's just someone I keep in contact with because I have a lot of respect for him. He's the kind of guy I think I'll always keep in touch with.
"He's been brilliant for me. He gave me a great chance when I went on loan to Falkirk. It was the stage in my career when I had to get out and get playing first-team football regularly. He gave me a great platform to show what I could do and it's something I will always be grateful to him for.
"I didn't know him from Adam before I went to Falkirk but I clicked with him straight away. His management style really suited me and I became good pals with him. I've had some of the happiest times of my football career under him.
"I don't know how or why he always got the best out of me. I just had a good understanding with him and he gave me a lot of freedom to go and express myself. I was only a young kid when I went to Falkirk. Even when I went on a bad run, he stuck by me and then the goals started to flow. He's always backed me 100 per cent."
Stokes believes the public perception of Hughes, forged in his playing days when he was a larger than life character on and off the pitch, can cloud the reality of a deep-thinking football man.
"There's more to him than meets the eye," added Stokes. "The one thing I'd say about him is that football's his life. It's all he does. It's all he speaks about, it's all you can get out of him. He's got that reputation from way back of being a bit crazy from the stories that were going about. But he's a great football man and he spends time up and down the country scouting players and trying to make his teams better. I remember one time at Falkirk when Paddy Cregg and myself were over at Stephen O'Donnell's house and the gaffer just popped in unannounced. I didn't know what was going on but Paddy said that it was just what he did. He just popped round for a chat sometimes. For me that's good management, getting on with your players. Some people don't take to it but I loved him and so did 99 per cent of the lads there.
"Obviously Terry Butcher did really well at Inverness and he is away to Hibs, which is another massive club. But the gaffer is also a big character. Speaking from a personal level, he got the best out of me and I'm sure he will get the best out of the lads up at Inverness too."
Despite his fondness for Hughes, Stokes will be doing his utmost to leave his old boss empty-handed tomorrow as Celtic look to maintain their unbeaten record in the Scottish Premiership this season.
"It's massive and it's something we pride ourselves in," he added. "We've had a great start to the season, the consistency has been tremendous and we want to maintain that. We're taking it game by game and we just want to keep it up. Winning games is what it is all about. It is demanded at this club and we will keep striving towards that.
"Obviously this year has been a bit disappointing in Europe, but we want to finish this season on a high and win trophies. It'll be another difficult game in Inverness. We enjoy playing there, although I wish it was a bit closer! But it's our last game of 2013, so we want to go out on a winning note."

Austin Arts and Entertainment Events Add An Event
Rhett Miller
- Date: January 27, 2018
- Time: 9:00pm
Venue: Antone's - AustinAddress:213 West 5th St.Austin, TX 78701
Already widely loved for his work as frontman and main songwriter of the hard-charging rock 'n' roll quartet the Old 97's (of which he is still a member), Miller revealed a more introspective side with his acclaimed 2002 solo debut The Instigator. The Believer takes its predecessor's achievements several steps further, with a dozen deeply-felt, craftily melodic tunes that demonstrate the Texas-bred artist's knack for using accessible songcraft to address complex emotional issues.
The Believer ranges from the puckish rock punch of "My Valentine" and "Ain't That Strange" to the expansive art-pop textures of "Brand New Way" and "Meteor Shower." "Help Me Suzanne," "I'm with Her" and "Fireflies" — the latter a duet with Rachael Yamagata — demonstrate Miller's ability to write poignant, pointed love songs whose depth and insight are matched by their tunefulness. The spare, thoughtful "Question" finds Miller revisiting an Old 97's favorite from an older-and-wiser perspective. The album's one cover is a buoyant, barbed reading of "I Believe She's Lying," written by frequent Miller collaborator Jon Brion.
The Believer's quietly powerful title track was inspired by Miller's acquaintance with the late alt-rock troubadour Elliott Smith. "I wrote it in New York City the day he died," he explains. "It really hit home for me. I met him and spent some time with him during his last years. My first date with my wife was seeing Elliott play at the Royal Albert Hall, and his drummer Scott McPherson ended up playing with me on the tour for The Instigator. I had a pretty serious suicide attempt when I was 14 years old, and I've always wrestled with that impulse, as do a lot of people in my line of work. I don't know if the song is all about Elliott maybe it's about me at 14, I'm not exactly sure. But the song's kind of saying thanks for doing the good work you did, and I understand that you were doing your best."
Miller recorded The Believer with renowned producer George Drakoulias (Black Crowes, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers) and a distinguished musical cast including guitarists Lyle Workman and Josh Schwartz, bassist Salim Nourallah, drummer Matt Chamberlain and keyboardists Patrick Warren and Jon Brion, whose collective resumé encompasses work with the likes of Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Frank Black, Macy Gray, Robyn Hitchcock, Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, Todd Rundgren and Elliott Smith. Gary Louris of the Jayhawks adds backing vocals.
Jon Brion last worked with Miller as producer and multi-instrumentalist on The Instigator. "I made The Instigator while I was homeless as a result of 9/11, and there was some stuff on there that was really raw and directly out of that experience," Miller observes. "But in a lot of ways it was a very stiff-upper-lip kind of record. Kind of like 'We love each other, everything's gonna be great.' For me, The Believer is more confident and more based in reality.
"I thought that with George Drakoulias I'd end up making a straight-up rock record," the artist continues. But the night before we started pre-production, George came and saw me play a solo gig at Largo, and I did what I normally do, spazzing out, thrashing around and breaking guitar strings. The next day, George told me that his vision for the recording was that I would be Frank Sinatra, that I would be surrounded by the greatest musicians and I could give myself up to that process. It was less a matter of me putting myself into someone's hands and more a matter of me using this system, where I had written these songs, but I was now also interpreting them, like I was Bing Crosby or something.
With The Believer, it was very much my show. George put me in front of a microphone in a room full of incredibly talented musicians, most of whom were already friends of mine, thank God, so it didn't feel at all like an L.A. snow-job. I had no guitar to hide behind, and I flourished. I accepted the responsibility, and was able to direct the proceedings in a way that I hadn't before."
Miller continues to balance his solo endeavors with his membership in the Old 97's. The still-active quartet has released seven albums since 1994 (the latest being the live set Alive and Wired) and are prominently featured in the soon-to-be-released Jennifer Aniston/Vince Vaughn romantic comedy The Breakup.
"I love to rock, but it's liberating not to always have to keep up with the freight train that is the Old 97's," Miller says of his dual musical careers. "When I made The Instigator, I was constantly calling the 97's, sending them mixes, trying to feel out how this was gonna work. But making The Believer, I felt like I didn't have to answer to anybody. Part of that was because I'd proven that I could do both, and part of it was because the guys in the band have been so cool about it. After ten years, we're beyond the bullshit. The other guys all have lives and families, so now we're at a point where we can do the Old 97's for the rest of our lives, but we don't have to do it every day."
"I always secretly fantasized about making the perfect record and then faking my own death, but none of my previous albums seemed quite good enough. Now, if I disappear, you should check the beach in Bora Bora," Miller laughs, "Because I feel pretty fucking strongly about this one."

When I was a little girl of the ripe ol' age of 8 years old, my 5'2" 95 pound mom - would RUMBA and CHACHA through the kitchen while cooking dinner, with her hips just MOVIN - she would grab me and place my feet firmly on top of hers and dance with me. My Mom is no longer on this earth - but I passed along the freedom of her dance spirit to my children - even if they did get embarassed. Thanks Mom for the first few dance lessons on top of your feet! and Happy Mother's Day to each and every one of you.

Actually, using the toolbar, you need to drag your mouse first, then click. were as you could just memorise every command as a keyboard shortcut and save more time.
I see the whole Toolbar vs. Ribbon as a classic design problem of "Less is Less". Yes the tool bar takes less clicks to find things, but finding a function in a wild nest of menus and context menus can be frustrating to anyone who hasn't spent a lot of time memorising the where everything is. The only reason the Ribbon was developed was in response to the toolbar system in office becoming overrun with to many items. The original design for the toolbar specified that toolbars shouldn't contain more than 7 items for usability. Although the Ribbon is more taxing on people who've learned to use the toolbar very efficiently, I don't think the toolbar is appropriate today, or going forward, as consumers expect easier and more self explanatory user interfaces.

In today's book news, Jane Goodall's publisher has postponed 'Seeds of Hope' to correct errors. Plus, a pope e-book has been announced and the 'Clarissa Explains It All' creator is writing a book.
Here's a look at what's buzzing in the book world today:
New and noteworthy: Books out this week include Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald by Therese Anne Fowler, about the troubled Jazz Age figure and her marriage to F. Scott Fitzgerald (read an excerpt), and The Burgess Boys by Pulitzer Prize winner Elizabeth Strout (read an excerpt via NPR).
'Double Feature': We reviewed new fiction and non-fiction this week: USA TODAY's Brian Truitt reviews Double Feature, an "exceptional debut novel" by Stephen King's son, Owen King (and no, it's not a horror novel). Plus, here's USA TODAY's profile of Owen King, by Bob Minzesheimer.
Churchill biography: For the non-fiction lover, Matt Damsker gives Young Titan, a biography of Winston Churchill's early days, a perfect 4 stars. He writes that the book "explores the young titan in entertaining depth, with deep regard for Churchill's achievements and no end in colorful detail."
Goodall book delayed: Publisher Grand Central has postponed the release of primatologist Jane Goodall's book, Seeds of Hope, to "correct any unintentional errors." Last week, The Washington Post discovered that at least 12 passages in the book were lifted from websites including Wikipedia without attribution.
Another pope book: Ah spring, the season of books about the new pope. The Wall Street Journal and Harper have announced an e-book, Pope Francis: From the End of the Earth to Rome, will be released April 16. Two books about the pope have already been announced with an April 30 release date, and an English translation of a 2010 book by Pope Francis (written as Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio), will be out May 7.
Crystal book: Can books predict the future? No, we're not living in Brave New World or 1984, but the 1969 science fiction novel Stand on Zanzibar by John Brunner, set in 2010, makes some uncannily accurate predictions about today's world, from school shootings, to satellite TV, and even features a leader named President Obomi. Bizarre.
Bookseller vs. publisher: A financial conflict has caused Barnes & Noble to reduce orders and promotion of recent books released by Simon & Schuster, including The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult.
Self-aware authors: Authors are not always known for being the most humble beings. But in the latest Dublin Review, writers spill their flaws in an article titled "What's Wrong with Me?," from Richard Ford being unable to "describe how people look" to Tessa Hadley admitting she repeats images in her writing.
Explaining it all: Remember the '90s Nickelodeon show Clarissa Explains It All, starring Melissa Joan Hart? The show's creator Mitchell Kriegman is writing a book, Things I Can't Explain, which flashes forward to Clarissa as a 23-year-old journalist, EW reports.
