Diablo 3 has strengthened its hold on Jeff Cannata who really only wants to talk about his barbarian, but there's so much more to cover. Garnett returns to the driver's seat after spending last week getting a sneak peek at some of the big games ready to vie for the spotlight at E3. "Indie" Jeff and Andrea Rene complete the adventuring party that gets down to business discussing their varying degree of anticipation for E3, the demise of 38 Studios, and the plight of subscription model MMOs, whether Max Payne 3 actually improves the gunplay over previous Rockstar open world games, and a handful of other games including Lost Planet 3 and Rock Band Blitz. Put a bird on it with Finishing Moves and you've got one massive show to take along on the Memorial Day weekend.

lol...i must agree with him.
I appreciate the criticism, but an explanation might help me in my dilemma
Very nice. I like it.
I don't mind sleeping with you.
Don't listen to that jerk, you are a heartbreaker and could have about any guy you wanted.
I think you COULD do it... but why would you want to ???
You're a very good looking guy, and seem like a nice guy - why would you even consider going down that path?
Maybe this is a bad analogy, but what if he told you you didn't have what it takes to be an alcoholic ? Would you be equally offended?
I DOUBT IT, but maybe he meant it in more of a mentality way... as in you're too nice, and caring to go into that sort of life style of using people and/or letting them use you ???
I think you have more self respect then that.
Just a thought.
I have hired many escorts. Yes, you would do well and could charge in the 250 or 300 an hour range. Many escorts make a good living for many years. Rentboy.com is the best place to advertise. Reviewing that site should give you a good idea of what it is like.
i don't think you would be a good escort, you would make a fantasticly hot boyfriend though
I dont want to be rude....if I am paying for sex...the guy better be hot....
Correction: I just checked Adam4Adam. Seems to be a fair amount in the $200 to $300 range. I had no idea there were so many 10" and 11" cocks in this city.
I can't imagine why you couldn't do very well IF you really wanted.......IF I had an inclination to pay for a hot young man like you I sure as fuck would!.......
BTW.......you have EVERYTHING it takes!
haha well I realised I don't, simply because escorts can't be picky and I am really picky. And the self respect thing, good point!
But thankyou! haha its clear some people have weird standards or something.
looks like I'll be doing it for free for a long time yet!
Either way babe.....it's still YOUR choice as to who you want to be with......
But I'm glad you're sticking with it as a hobby.......
I get paid occasionally to top. My selling point is I am a well spoken guy who won't embarrass a client if we bump into someone. Also I fuck hard for a long time... Have been called an expert! All business through word of mouth. Mostly out of town older guys.
Decent cock - not huge - and average looks. Don't make a living but do make spare cash and get taken out to nice places.
My experience is work on your brain and staying power. Stay safe.
I have done escort between my 22 and 29. Your body is suitable from what you show on these pics. For male escort my youthly look was my biggest advantage: i was listed as 18 for some years. But your body is one thing, you need to feel well with a live as slut: you don't chose your clients.
My avatar shows me the way I am, my sexual nature is totally exposed on my adult blog.
Rentboy is a good site.
You can be as picky as you want. I get subs wanting my services a lot, but I'm not meeting some slob, or someone that seems shady, or that demands things I'm not willing to do, etc. It's about what you can live with, but being picky and a bit exclusive makes you more desirable for many because they know you're not out working rest stops and seedy areas. You get a better, safer class of guy that will treat you better. But you have to invest a little in yourself. Don't show up looking like you just spent all day at the local skatepark, unless your getting paid to do that.
I don't want to sound like a prude, but I would urge you to consider the dangers associated with escorting. There is far more dangers involved than you might believe.
Sexually transmitted disease is the most common, certainly. Despite one's best efforts, this is too frequent an occurance. Condoms do not always work. You may have a defective condom, or you might put it on wrong in the heat of the moment. Condoms also don't protect against everything you might be trying to avoid... crabs for instance. That's just gross.
Then there is the risk of violence. Not everyone on the internet saying they want to have an escort is being upfront about their intentions. There are cases of straight men luring gay men into a situation where they seek to hurt or even kill them. There's also the chance that the customer is a self loathing gay man, and after services rendered, takes out their self hate on the escort. Then there is secondary source violence; where the customer's wife or friend, son, etc discover what is happening and they strike out violently against the escort.
Lest not forget the sexual violence aspect of escorting. Choking, bondage, rough sex... dangerous enough when you know and trust the person, but when thet person doesn't know you and objectifies you by "purchasing" you... Well, limits and boundries tend to be a little more gray than when you are in a relationship with the person. Accidents happen. And even if sexual violence doesn't end in death, you can get roughed up pretty bad. It's not a pretty sight to see.
A serious exaggeration. There is a website for escorts and clients, including client reviews as well as a forum for both escorts and clients. Www.daddysreviews.com
I have never been into this because I feel like random sex is well not fun and leaves me feeling disgusted but to each their own. Why would someone pay for sex when you can now get it for FREE from so many places?
In the first place, it's not as if being an escort, even a quite successful one, actually means you're "hot." If you're looking for validation, you are DEF looking in the wrong place.
I used to do a little porn on the side in college to make extra money, and in porn you get to know a lot of hookers (many if not most porn "actors" are only in porn to advertise their hooker business). All of them were attractive of course, some of them what you'd call "super hot," but the same could be said of a lot of guys. To be successful as a hooker is more a question of psychological than physical type if you ask me. I could never have done it. I don't think you HAVE to be dead inside, but I can see why it would help. You have to be able to have sex mechanically with your clients and make it at least passably convincing, and this really isn't as easy as it might sound.
I mean I think people imagine prostitution is "easy work" - just lie on your back all day - or "fun," like "Yeah I like to have sex, why wouldn't I enjoy getting paid to do it?" Well, most hookers I knew weren't even into sex. Do it all day for a living and it loses its luster. They were just able to get it up and perform in any situation with anybody, but they didn't "enjoy" sex at all. Like I say, mechanical, dead inside. And have you ever, say, waited tables? You know how grueling it can be, not just physically, but dealing with people and their fucking crazy personalities and demands and hangups when they know they've "got you"? Being a ho has to be that times 1000.
Not to say there aren't any true sex-maniac hookers who love their work, but I don't think that's the usual story. You sound way not jaded enough for that profession. BTW I think you're cute, just leave it at that...lol.
I've served both with a support group for gay and lesbian youth and also at a crisis center for gay adults. The amount of times I have seen escorts (and sometimes Johns) beat up, robbed, infected... it's heartbreaking. No exaggeration I assure you. And if so many horrible things can happen in a small region like New Brunswick or Newfoundland, what do you think happens in larger regions with a more diverse population?
I find it rather demeaning to the victims of violence and the sick to dismiss these events so readily. One really must consider these things when making a decision as critical as this.
- - - Updated - - -
None were street hookers. One was on Craig's List. Craig's List never really took off in my region. And frankly, it wouldn't matter either way. It's not how the escort advertizes themself, it's the john picking them up. It's dangerous. I've seen it first hand. And sometimes it is dangerous for the john too- let's not forget that.
I have hired hundreds of escorts over the years an the horrors you describe are outside my experience, nor have they been reported to me. They are possible, of course, but to suggest they are common is misleading.

I think you could do it and have a financially good living while doing it for that matter.
A lot of nonsense about escort work: if the photo's are like you are your body is perfect for escort service and you can make good money without any or minimal risks. Being escort-boy is completely different from what you find in gay bars where boys do many clients for just a small fee per client. If you like the idea go ahead, you'll not regret.
My avatar shows me the way I am, my sexual nature is totally exposed on my adult blog.
Hmmm. I got offered money (and took it) only a couple of times. It was weird, cuz that wasn't my perception going into it, and both dudes were better than average, and one of them actually hot. Both I think were married, and I know they did not have much experience with mansex. Well, that was before their session with me....lol. You can sure escort. Youth pretty much trumps all. I would advise using pix 4 and 5 for publicity shots....If you are serious, you should consider how you feel about trolls. Like this is a job. Like men's accessories at Bloomie's, OK? Be real clear up front (sorry) about what your deal and their deal is and what THE DEAL i$.
I dont know.. your profile is good.. but not sure if you are good looking seems like your ass is better than your face since you prefer showing them! i demand straight shot of your face but im sure youre not ugly as what i have said your profile is good and the body is SEXY!!
If you were able to not be picky, I think you would do very well indeed. I would pay for you. But it's hard to charge and be picky.
Many escorts advertise without a face shot. Rentboy allows you put some photos in an area requiring you to to provide a password if you want to allow some one to see them. Or you can email a photo to serious clients.
It's all about boundaries and parameters.
There are some guys out there that just want some companionship.
Being young, good looking, and in shape doesn't always mean that you have to "put yourself out there" for sex.
I know a few gay male strippers who don't mind taking a few extra bucks, and in fact welcome the "extra tips" after hours.
But being a escort takes much more than that.
You're being asked to "escort" someone somewhere as a 'known companion' of that person hiring you.
There's a big difference between whoring yourself out to the highest bidder, and being an escort.
As has been stated most respectable escorts are "hard to get."
And friends that I've known who've worked as "escorts" NEVER give it up on the first appointment.
Usually the first "date" is like an "interview" where both the escort and the client are sizing each other up.
If the "escort" finds that the "client" is legit; and usually that entails no demands for sex, because none were offered when they put themselves out there as an escort (boundaries and parameters when advertising), and the client is willing to meet in public first, then you take it from there.
But it is risky for the escort, and the most successful guys that I've known who are escorts aren't in it for being "paid for sex."
With the right attitude and frame of mind, they can make a lot of money at it, and not once have to take off their pants.
It's the lure that they might on the next "date."
Some "clients" are perfectly comfortable with that.
Others can go into a rage because they feel that in effect that they've been paying for a cock tease.
It can be messy, and has been pointed out can do damage to one's soul, and character.
There has to be a balance of power/control in it.
And if you don't know who you are, and aren't grounded in something, it's possible that you could get yourself lost in a traumatic experience.
I know what it feels like to be physically objectified, and I've worked that to my advantage.
But I knew going in that they didn't care about me as a person.
No matter how much money, gifts, or trips that they were willing to throw my way.
They just wanted my body, my dick, or my ass, and for that I always charged extra!
It depends on your definition of "escort". I think most guys have in mind a call boy such as you will find on rentboy. Texpatriot seems to have in mind a companion for concerts, parties and the like, without sex necessarily. Nice work if you can get it, but harder to get into, I I would think.
I don't show my face, Andy0303, because well... I don't want to scare anybody
you showed it already dude, but just the half..
If I thought I could be satisfied by hiring a prostitute, I might pay a few hundred to fuck you hard and ejaculate on your face and in your mouth. All the better if I can freely switch the fuck back and forth between cunt and mouth and make you swallow my urine at the end.
As a slim, young bitch, you are physically qualified, but would need to grow back all of your cunt and body hair.

Skinny Sloppy Joes
If you don't like getting your hands dirty, then this is not for you! I didn't grow up eating traditional sloppy joes as a kid, the closest thing that came to a Sloppy Joe in my house was picadillo on a roll (which is quite good by the way) so when I got a recipe request for a lighter Sloppy Joe, I had to do some research.
I found Rachel Ray's Sloppy Joe recipe that was rated 5 stars with rave reviews, so I knew this was a great place to start. I used lean beef and added more veggies to make this lower in fat. Serve it on crusty whole wheat rolls. Enjoy your sandwich and have plenty of napkins on hand!

text: Total Pain Care: It's Up to You (NewsUSA) - The Institute of Medicine (IOM) estimates that more than 100 million people in the U.S. live with pain. For some, the pain will be temporary and will go away on its own. However, you may be among those whose pain has become chronic, lasting several months or more. While pain is universal, health care professionals are still challenged by its unique and personal nature. Not everyone experiences pain the same way and with the same intensity. The IOM report "Relieving Pain in America" recommends an interdisciplinary approach to treating pain that actively involves the patient in their own care. "The effectiveness of pain treatments depends greatly on the strength of the clinician-patient relationship; pain treatment is never about the clinician's intervention alone, but about the clinician and patient (and family) working together," according to the IOM. The best person to speak up on your behalf most often is ? you! Self-advocacy refers to an individual's ability to effectively communicate, convey, negotiate or assert his or her own interests, desires, needs and rights. It involves making informed decisions and taking responsibility for those decisions. Whether you are a person with pain or a caregiver, self-advocacy is an essential skill to learn and embrace. In pain management, self-advocacy is vital. It is about understanding your strengths and needs, identifying your personal goals, knowing your legal rights and responsibilities and then communicating these to your family, friends and health care team. This is the first step in your journey to ensure the appropriate diagnosis and treatment for your pain. Through being your own advocate, or an advocate for someone you care about, you become empowered -- with information, knowledge and self-respect. Health care professionals can also play a key role by supporting their patients' efforts toward self-advocacy. The website In the Face of Pain (www.IntheFaceofPain.com/advocacy) offers information, resources and materials that can be used to advocate for yourself or a loved one who lives with pain. You can also download the free Handbook for People with Pain that includes tips and tools for effectively communicating with health care providers, as well as a focus on caregiving and clinical trials. Remember, you are your most important advocate. Next >

In case you missed it, Miss Michigan took home the Miss America title over the weekend in Las Vegas.
Yes, as in beauty pageants.
The winner was 19 year-old Kirsten Haglund of Farmington Hills and it ended a 20 year title drought since Miss Michigan last claimed the crown.
Twenty loooong years since Miss Michigan reigned victorious.
In fact, it got so bad in the past two decades as Michigan constantly lost before grabbing the brass
From their choice of bad show tunes for the talent competition to outdated one-piece bathing suits in the bikini competitions, it seemed the pageant game had passed Michigan and its northern neighbors by.
Not anymore.
As Miss Michigan's winning bikini photos here show, Michigan has stormed its way into the 21st century pageant world.
Sure, as is typical for Michigan beauty pageant fans, some will complain that the state representative should have gone to the smokin' hot black two piece sooner. That recruiting drop dead gorgeous blondes with perfect legs and a killer smile instead of brunettes who were smart and could play the tuba should have been done 10 pageants ago.
But what's done is done. The past is the past. And with a new found confidence that comes from victory, Michigan is already looking ahead. To 2009. With whispers of "repeat" already echoing from coast to coast - from the coast of Lake Michigan to the coast of Lake Erie.
In a related story, Detroit Free Press columnist Drew Sharp is said to be working on a column criticizing Haglund and her victory simply because the thought of Michigan winning a national title in anything makes him break out in hives and must be condemned.

[Update: 11:10] EA has told Giant Bomb that it didn't pull Crysis 2 from Steam. Rather, Crytek's shooter was pushed out by new Steam terms.
"It's unfortunate that Steam has removed Crysis 2 from their service," a company representative said. "This was not an EA decision or the result of any action by EA."
Steam has imposed a set of business terms for developers hoping to sell content on that service – many of which are not imposed by other online game services. Unfortunately, Crytek has an agreement with another download service which violates the new rules from Steam and resulted in its expulsion of Crysis 2 from Steam.
[Original] Following EA's recent launch of Origin, its rebranding of the EA Store digital distribution site, the publisher has made a bit of a bid for power. EA has pulled Crysis 2 from Valve's wildly popular rival store Steam, and revealed plans to have more games exclusive to Origin.
Crysis 2 had been available on Steam since its launch in March but has now vanished. EA's site curiously lists Crytek's shooter as being "only on Origin," but other digital stores including Direct2Drive and Amazon are still selling it. A digital copy from Amazon is $8 cheaper, too.
Spicy Horse's Alice: Madness Returns, which launched in North America yesterday, is listed as being "Only available on Origin until June 17th." This too is still available on other sites. So far, it seems only Steam is being targeted, though it still sells plenty of other EA games.
This is all part of EA's grand plans to for Origin as a bona fide "platform," which company president Frank Gibeau has explained in an interview with GamesIndustry.biz.
"For us it's really about, we're the worldwide leader in packaged goods publishing, we'd like to be the worldwide leader in digital publishing," Gibeau said.
"We are going to continue to be great partners for our retail channel partners as they evolve their business models to account for digital," he explained. "But at the same time you talk about platform exclusives like Halo or Uncharted, EA's going to have some of our own platform exclusives."
"We think that EA has unique strengths there related to what we can do with our content, because we're a content creator as well as a retailer in this business. But in general it's not just a retail site, it's a community, it's a platform, it has traits much like you see with Steam or PSN or Xbox Live, but it's unique to EA."
Comparing the entire online aspect of consoles to a digital distributor which only sells PC published by one single company might seem baffling, but evidently EA's thinking big. Origin already has rudimentary social features, though nowhere near those offered by Steam, and EA plans to expand them. It's not entirely hostile toward other digital distributors, though.
"I think long-term you'll see we believe in reach so we will have other digital retailers for out products because we want to reach as many audiences as possible," Gibeau said. "But at the same time if we can use exclusive content or other ideas to help grow our audience then we're going to do that because we're growing a platform."
Origin will also be the only digital store selling BioWare's MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic, EA revealed when it relaunched the site, which Gibeau explains as because "we're trying to build an audience for Origin. And it's also an opportunity for us to better manage the downloads and how we bring people over from the beta and that sort of thing.
One wonders how all this might affect EA's relationship with Valve, who's used EA to distribute retail versions of its games for several years now.

During the first season of NAIA competition Lawrence Tech players learned what is needed to be good team players at the collegiate level.
Despite a 2-20 Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference record, men's basketball Head Coach Tom Kempf is pleased with Lawrence Technological University's return to the hardwood after 48 years.
During the 1940s and early 1950s the Blue Devils were a basketball powerhouse. This season's overall record of 3-27 starts the second chapter of LTU men's basketball legacy.
"I really felt we accomplished our primary goal for this initial year of competition, to be a better team at the end of the year than we were at the beginning," said Kempf. "There is no question in my mind that we did this. Our freshmen grew up because of the experience of playing so many minutes and the few older players eventually integrated their skills into the fabric of the emerging team. We did not win many games, but we learned to compete as a team. Our failures were due to the inexperience both age-wise and team-wise, but were diminished as the season went on because the players kept a firm eye on the goal rather than the disappointing moments they went through."
For his efforts, Kempf was named Champions of Character Coach and freshman guard Jon Harden (St. Johns, MI) was named to the Champions of Character Team.
Stats wise, LTU finished fifth with 190 three-pointers, sixth in blocking shots with 88, sixth in defensive scoring with 1,972 points and 12th in offensive scoring with 1,482 points. The Blue Devils finished 10th with a free-throw percentage of 65.9 percent and 12thwith a field-goal percentage of 35.6 percent. The team's defense placed ninth in field-goal percentage with 43.6 percent. LTU was also ninth in assists with 300.
After 30 games, junior guard Anthony Sisson (Lapeer, MI) placed 23rd in scoring with 322 points and freshman guard Jake Mullin (Petoskey, MI) finished 29th with 282 points. Sisson also finished seventh in free-throw percentage with 80.5 percent, and Mullin was in seventh place for 946 minutes played. Freshman forward Jon Osantowski (Grandville, MI) placed second with 40 blocked shots and 15th in rebounding with 121 in 25 games.
In the three-pointer category, Sisson placed fourth with 66 and Mullin seventh with 57. Mullin also placed 10th with a 36.5 three-point field-goal percentage.
"They now know what each of them needs to improve upon as an individual, as well as what we need to be better at as a team in order to compete more successfully next year," said Kempf. "Most of them had no idea how different college basketball was going to be from high school ball, and none of them had played on the same team together. So they had no understanding of how they would fit together as a team. Now they do."
Kempf said the three wins were his highlights for the season. "The first win because it was exactly that, the first in 48 years and our first as a team. The last, because we accomplished it with only seven players available, and it represented perhaps what was the ultimate highlight of the season for me as a coach.
"The fact that as difficult as it was for everyone to absorb each defeat, not one of these players ever gave up on himself or the team at any time throughout the year. As a result, we became a unit, a team that had to be respected by our opponents no matter what our record or statistics said. Best of all," said the coach, "no one can wait for next year."

Recognizing Henderson County's educational history is the motivation behind a ceremony April 7 to dedicate a historic marker at Mills River Academy.
MILLS RIVER — Recognizing Henderson County's educational history is the motivation behind a ceremony April 7 to dedicate a historic marker at Mills River Academy.
The area of Mills River where the marker will be placed has special significance, said Tom Orr, retired educator and an ex-officio member of the committee.
"We have historically referred to that Mills River area, which includes the school and Mills River Presbyterian Church, as 'the cradle of education' in Henderson County because it was there that education as we know it developed," he said.
James Brittain, a Revolutionary War soldier and early pioneer in Mills River, donated the land for the school.
The Henderson County Education History Initiative Steering Committee is hosting the marker dedication from 2-4 p.m. The committee researches, publicizes and preserves the education history of the county.
Mills River Elementary, which has had different names including Mills River Academy throughout the years, first opened its doors in the late 1790s. Children in the area were attending the school 40 years before the state established a public school system, Orr said.
The second floor of the school was used as a meeting house for religious groups. The school was also used as a center for political activities, hosting the Court of Pleas and Common Sessions before the courthouse was built in Hendersonville, he said.
The marker will be placed in front of the old Mills River Elementary School building, which was renamed Mills River Academy a couple of years ago, said Rick Wood, committee member and Henderson County School Board member. Mills River Academy houses the district's Information Technology Department and serves as a training center for personnel.
The marker is designed to honor the historic school when the facility was called Mills River Academy, Orr said. It is unclear whether the original site is specifically where the new elementary school stands now.
The marker will read: "A few hundred yards west of here, Mills River Academy once stood on land set aside by James Brittain in the late 1790s. It served as an important early center for education, worship services and county government in what is now Henderson County."
Orr and Wood said they hope the dedication gets a good response from the community.
"It's our heritage — it's who we are as a people," Orr said. "If we lose it, if we don't remember it, then we are diminished if we do not respect and honor the history of our county in every aspect, and education is the key."
The committee is raising money for the marker. Donations can be made to the Henderson County Education Foundation (put Mills River event-HCEHI in the note section of the check). Checks can be mailed to Rick Wood, 2206 Evergreen Drive, Hendersonville, NC 28792.

There are many fantastic roofing solutions on the market today, and one of the most popular ones is EPDM rubber roofing for flat or gently sloping roofs. This has become popular due to its cost effectiveness, easy well as its extreme longevity which means that in some cases it has been said to last up to fifty years.
One of the other main reasons why this product is extremely popular is that it can Don't Make These Common Mistakes With Your Roofing Lake Placid NY 12946 be put in place by the home owner or a DIY enthusiast. Although this is a job that certainly requires some skill and extreme attention to detail, this is something that can still be done by the ordinary person if the task is approached with exceptional care.
If you are thinking of installing EPDM rubber roofing on your roof, there are several things to remember before you embark on the project. The first one Lake Placid NY 12946 of these is that you need to make sure that you get adequate training before you do so. This is vitally important to ensure that your roof is as highly performing as possible.
One of the main issues with this type of task being carried out without a professional is that it is easy to make errors and small oversights that can have a huge impact on the success of the endeavour. An example FAQS About Rubber Roofing Lake Placid NY 12946 of this is that if a roof is not fitted properly – with the right tools and in the right conditions, that is – this can lead to a roof that wears far more quickly and can come 'unstuck'.
This will, of course, result in damage to the integrity of the roof, which will then need replacing at a much sooner date and for greater costs. Better then to invest in a little bit Lake Placid NY 12946 of training before embarking on the project to install EPDM rubber roofing in order to ensure that your new roof lasts a very long time indeed.
Considering this, people will most likely be wondering where on earth they can find this kind of training and how they can carry out this home improvement project.

The next thing to consider is that it is essential to have all the right tools and products needed to successfully install such a roofing membrane. The adhesive is a particularly important point, as this needs to be carefully matched to the type of roof that you are installing on your roof.
For this reason, many brands have introduced their own adhesives to match Lake Placid NY 12946 their roofing membranes. This is to ensure a perfect fit and perfect installation every time. Some people will go about trying to find a cheaper product elsewhere, but in this case – where strong installation is essential – this kind of cost-cutting is not advised.
Instead it is often preferable to follow the manufacturers or supplier's advice and only use certain recommended products. This will very likely make sure that your roof lasts as Lake Placid NY 12946 long as possible and that you can get many years' enjoyment out of it.
Lastly, a final consideration is that it is often better to have help when undertaking such a task, especially if you are covering a large area.

All in all Lake Placid NY 12946 this is a process that anyone can undertake, but by following the tips above it is likely to be a far more effective endeavour, and therefore it is worth taking in the above advice.

Rodriguez Finally Fired, Situation Still FUBAR
The next move is still up in the air but this process is officially FUBAR: Fucked Until Brandon Anoints Replacement.
Watch the live press conference with Brandon at 12:30 ET here on MGoBlue.
POST-PRESSER UPDATE: Okay, if folks were nervous before, I think many are in that-scene-in-AIRPLANE! panicked now. That presser did not inspire confidence. On the surface, if that really is what it was, it's a disaster. Thus, I'm really hoping that Brandon has something big up his sleeve that he's simply not telling us right now.
However, if he really is just starting the search process today, on January 5th, as he implied, we're screwed. There is no time. I'm sure in the pizza-making world, when you fire your VP of Sauce, you can replace him or her in a week, two weeks or a month and it really doesn't make a spit of difference. But it's January 5th. National Signing Day is less than a month away. Each day that goes by without a coach in a living room - in some DEFENSIVE PLAYER'S living room - is a disaster.
You don't "evaluate" for 40 f'ing days then just start the process. Holy fuck I hope he was kidding but simply can't tell us all that somebody is ready to be named here in a day or two.
FUBAR, indeed.

Dave Brandon must have lost Jim Harbaugh right at H Hour. Rumored to have rebuffed $5.1M offer. Brady will-crawl-thru-glass-to-coach-UM Hoke is apparently not the best option right now, whew. So now maybe he approaches Les Miles?

Just cannot believe that Dave Brandon is that naive. He is creating the illusion of process so that everyone can settle down and then settle in behind the next coach. You saw what happened the last time we went frenetic and hired the first one with a heartbeat...
Nope, he is going to allow some dust to settle, allow RR and the coaches some time to regroup and regain face.
I am guessing on another presser this time next week with The Announcement
- January 05, 2011 1:11 PM

I'm hoping you're right, T9. If he's waiting do we fear it's Miles? I do. I think I'd like Hoke over Miles.

So... no plan B, but he announces to the world that he knows he has screwed up this year's recruting class?
And in the meantime, people are still going on Flighttracker to investigate "mysterious" flights in and out of Willow Run in the hopes that JH was secretly in town?
Finally, from the wording we can infer he didn't just fire RR but the entire coaching staff?
M fans couldn't be patient before, we better get used to the rebuilding phase AGIN!

Ramona, we were patient. In 3 yrs RR took the winningest program and, as DB even said, gave us the 3 worst years in the 131 YEAR HISTORY of our program. Plus, let's just throw on 3 years of probation for good measure.
Lack of patience was not the problem.
That doesn't excuse DB not having a coach-in-waiting today, but he made no mistake firing a guy who wasn't showing proper progress at a school like Michigan.
- January 05, 2011 2:06 PM

IMO, that whole press conference was a "carefully worded" big volley back into JH's court. Whatever longstanding Michigan channels that have direct contact with Harbaugh are now going to put "outside pressure" on JH to get back to AA and take the job. We'll see if it works.
He knows he can get Hoke tomorrow/yesterday/last November if he wanted to -- he wants Harbaugh.
This isn't over until Harbaugh signs a deal with an NFL team. There is also 0% chance that Brandon is just now starting the search process with anyone else - he has a full list of people lined up to make an great BIG $$$ offer to.
JH is still on the table.
- January 05, 2011 2:25 PM
- phil said...
This was your standard scripted press conference you could have gotten from any AD around the country. He wasn't going to put all his cards on the table. Reading between the lines, I think UM definitely made the offer to JH. My opinion, which ain't worth much, is that Harbaugh said years ago, "hey, I need a job and i'd love to be at michigan" but they didn't want him then, so now he says, "sorry, you're a little late. that ship has sailed." So DB has, i'm sure, other candidates, but his handling of a "2-day" meeting to fire RR was weird. I found one comment interesting that he specifically made several times. He said he likes to feel that he is accessible and he takes pride in that. Perhaps he is trying to convince himself that he is accessible. Maybe communications with him or his office or his staff are, in fact, a problem. If i go around town telling all the girls i'm handsome, who am i really trying to convince?

But, but, where are the balloons? Fireworks? Parade?
THIS is exactly what everyone has longed for, for months- R2 gone at any cost! Well, this is the cost, isn't it.
And, remember the "anybody would be better..." comment that kept popping up? Well, looks like that's what we're gonna get.
So enjoy. Time for the big celebration. Send out the Lolipop Guild to dance it up.
This is what everyone wanted. Yippee!
- January 05, 2011 2:29 PM

Phil.. He made that comment in response to an inaudible question. Im thinking someone asked him if he plans on meeting with the kids or if they asked to meet with him...something along those lines.
JH will go interview with SF, everyone will do their "due diligence" process etc. SF goes a different direction and boo- ya! Jimmy comes home.
It could happen.....

There won't be any call made to anyone else other than JH until JH signs an NFL deal.
Harbaugh is no idiot either. I'm sure he is pissed at U of M for passing him over before. He is making us WAIT on HIS terms, not ours. He wants us to grovel to get him and Brandon won't grovel.
This will be an interesting duel - and money isn't the most important issue.

Urban Meyer stepped down on December 8. Florida announced Will Muschamp was the new coach on the night of December 11. So Jeremy Foley -- an excellent AD btw -- took three days and got himself an excellent hire that wasn't on anyone's "expected candidates" list.
If Brandon announces on Friday that we have a coach of Muschamp's caliber, then all is forgiven. If he announces next Tuesday that Hoke is our coach, then we know that he wasn't good enough to sell the program to a top choice and has pretty much failed at his most important AD duty. We can call him Bill Martin--giant version.

People, pull it together. I mean really, are you all this gullible all the time? Brandon HAD to say that he's starting the search now - to do so otherwise would have been extremely damaging to the school's reputation. Just let it play out. If we lose a recruit or two over this, so what. Getting the coaching position right is 100 times more important.

as they say at the half time show, you can't have one w/ out the other.
i have been stunned for two months now by the wide number of people, both here and at other sites, who seemed to think that we'd fire R2, and "bam"*, hire Jim Harbaugh. firing R2 has ALWAYS meant a public, and potentially lengthy coaching search (* ate @ Emeril's twice- have "bam" on the brain).
i've opposed firing him (and been pissed on for it) primarily, if solely, because THIS was going to happen. there was never any chance that Brandon was going to contact Harbaugh w/ out first seeking permission from Stanford (tortious interference w/ contract). there was never any chance that Brandon was going to seek permission while he still had R2 under contract (potentially biggest PR blunder in history). and there was never any chance Brandon was going to fire R2 until after the bowl (because he said so in August).
THIS chain of events has always been the only likely outcome of firing R2. is it going to be ok? sure. maybe.
maybe Brady Hoke will turn out to be a greagt big ten coach. or Les or Jimbo might surprise us yet. or maybe someone else. it could be great.
but whether the next coach is great or Bob Davies/George O'Leary/Ty Willingham/you get the picture, it isn't likely going to be quick or easy. we were always going to have some sort of repeat of 2007.
frankly, there was almost nothing Brandon could have done any differently.
so, enjoy the firing. hope for the best in the hiring. Brady is probably a really swell "Michgian Man".

I disagree that our current discomfort is a valid reason to hang on to Rich Rodriguez. I'll take a few days of uncertainty now over another year of getting beatdowns from any team with a pulse.
While not especially happy the Brandon wasn't able to trot out Jim Harbaugh as the next head coach, I'm not ready to panic.
I'm encouraged that Brandon is willing to spend some money on the next coach and that if he needs to dig dep into the university's pockets to get who he really wants he can.
I also think a less well known coach is also a viable option and less costly one. I think we can easily get Rich Rodriguez's record here at a fraction of the cost.
I'm also not all that concerned about recruiting and frankly find all the servile fawning and intense interest in what are essentially teenage boys creepy and disturbing. Just look at what happened with Rodriguez's efforts to woo Terrelle Pryor.
I think that in a few years it will sink in that the last three seasons have been the low point in Michigan football and there was no where else to go but up.

Baggy, I don't know that recruiting is creepy.. unless they are gazing into the players' eyes over a candlelight dinner... although, in a sense all of college football has gotten creepy because it's so "corporate" now.
Where else do you get your players if you don't recruit?

Then DB should've fired RR in Nov after OSU. I, like many, believed we were waiting b/c there was a plan in place. And there still might be as others have pointed out.
However, none of this was any reason to keep RR. He failed. Period. We can point fingers as to why, but he still failed. His defense sucked. Special teams sucked. And even the offense struggled against the good team. Throw in probation and it was time to cut the cord.
As for Brady Hoke, while he's not my first choice, I don't see how his first season could be worse than RR's 3-9. Hell, I don't know how hiring you or me could be worse.

I would prefer this all to be a crazy charade and have Harbaugh walk in here, but if he doesn't end up coming and we do end up with whatever option Brady Hoke is I don't feel like that's the end of the world. I would feel a lot better about that than having RR back again. Anyone who has an 11-1 season at Ball freaking State can't be that bad. I don't care if it's the MAC. I seem to remember them almost beating a certain then 10-0 team on there own field if not for a goal line stand at the end of the game. Definitely not the first option, but we hired a "big name coach" last time and that didn't work out so great.
Again, definitely prefer JH, but it would not be the end of the world.

Where do you apply for the VP of Sauce position? I was told there might be an opening...
Some perspective from the outside looking in, if I may:
Alabama coaching search, late 2006. It took Mal Moore over a month to convince the guy he wanted to come to Tuscaloosa. At that point, this state was at DefCon 5, or 1, whichever alert level is Global Thermonuclear - I can never remember. Turns out the patience paid off. Say what you will about little Nicky, but he has turned out to be the right man for that job.
Auburn, late 2008. Defcon 4 (or 2, see above). Auburn AD Jay Jacobs takes oil tankers loaded with shit over hiring what, a Chiznik? Do we at least get dip? Again, say what you want about "The Magic Cam," but look who's playing in Glendale next week.
Oregon, 2009. Defcon 3 (now there's the sweet spot!). Chip Kelly? New Hampshire? Seriously? Belotti's gone mental! Again, look to Glendale next week.
It's all about getting the right guy at the right time. I know all about it - my beloved Coach Boom turned the lights out in Austin when he left for Gainesville. Felt like I'd been punched in the gut that day, and still haven't recovered.

On Hoke. I saw his team make something called tackles. Didn't know what that was at first as it had been so long since I'd seen that.
On the firing of Rich I will find no glee. I've been fired before and don't much like it. If he was even a bit competitive, he would still be here.
If it's hoke I'll root for him as hard as I can, same as I did for Rich.

Brandon saved $1.5 MM by firing RR after Jan. 1. If he admits he's been talking to possible replacements, isn't that the same as admitting that RR was fired before year end? He's handling this like a business man avoiding lawsuits.
- January 05, 2011 9:12 PM
- Mikoyan said...
I think if it came down to a lawsuit, Brandon could mention something about sanctions. I'm sure there are riders in the contract that if there were sanctions, Rich Rod could be fired. As for the search, I would hope that he has at least been making a list of who he would like. And I would imagine that in that time he's been talking through the back channels.
In a way, he's doing this part of it right because he shouldn't officially be talking until after the respective coach's bowl games.

After watching Dave Brandon's press conference the movie "A Few Good Men" came to mind when Jack Nicholson was on the stand being questioned by Tom Cruise and he looks at Tom and Jack says Please don't tell me that this is why you called me here today. To talk about foot lockers and phone records please tell me you have something more. That is what I want to say to Mr Brandon after watching his press conference......please tell me you have something more. We waited 5 weeks to learn that now....Now... he has decided to fire coach Rod and has made no plans to contact anyone and will start to do so after the press conference. My God the next thing we will learn is that he was the designer of the new Big Ten logo.

Thanks to a study just released, some sources are theorizing that Netflix, the streaming video service, could have the potential to dominate the internet and gobble up American broadband.
Netflix currently boasts over 15 million members and according to network management company Sandvine, their 2010 Global Internet Phenomena Report indicates that Netflix accounts for 20 percent of downstream traffic during peak periods beating out YouTube, iTunes, Hulu, and p2p file-sharing.
The spike in online streaming video users for Netflix appears to have originated from customers in Canada. The company's traditional DVD-by-mail service was not offered as an option to consumers there, they were only provided with the choice of streaming video.
In the week following the launch of service to Canadians, 10 percent of Netflix online usage came from that country and video streaming usage numbers will continue to increase in Canada and are expected to rise exponentially in North America overall, according to Sandvine.
In response to the study, one online report suggests that another reason that Netflix may be gaining momentum could stem from the fact that while online users spend only moments at a time on YouTube, they tend to spend hours at a time on Netflix.
Despite growing suggestions that Netflix will stretch broadband capacity to the limit during peak hours, the co-founder of Akamai -- the company that boasts 77,000 servers with hard drives and is responsible for Netflix delivery of content with local servers -- reports that no one should be concerned about a surge of streaming video crashing the internet.
"That video is growing rapidly and going to be huge is true," said Akamai's Tom Leighton. "But there's tons of capacity out at the edges of the network....plenty of capacity in the last mile to your house."

KeyBox is a Web-based SSH console for executing commands and managing multiple systems simultaneously. It allows you to share terminal commands and upload files to all your systems. Once the sessions have been opened you can select a single system or any combination on which to run your commands. Also, additional system administrators can be added and their terminal sessions and history can be audited.
Elm Millennium Edition is a text-based mail client. There are two branches: Elm 2.4ME+, which is based on Elm 2.4, and Elm ME+ 2.5, which also incorporates some code from Elm 2.5. Elm Millennium Edition contains enhanced MIME and character set support. A subset of UTF-8 (Unicode) is handled. It can read mail from a local mbox and POP and IMAP folders and can pass mail to the PGP or GPG programs. It can also view digests as a mailbox and reassemble fragmented (message/partial) messages. It includes modules for TLS/SSL, iconv, and SMTP.
Jaro Mail is an integrated suite of interoperable tools for GNU/Linux and Apple/OS X to manage email communication in a private way, without relying on online services (in fact, encouraging users to store email locally). It mainly features a system for mailinglist filtering, address-book integrated whitelisting, strong encryption and anonymous remailing, long-term email storage and archiving with functions for fast search and usage statistics. To accomplish all that, it makes use of solid Unix tools like Mutt, Fetchmail, Mairix, Msmtp, GnuPG, Abook, ELinks, and Mixmaster.
Cura is a mobile phone application bundle of remote server administration tools. It provides a personalized terminal emulator, a syslog module that allows for reading logs directly from a server, a SysMonitor module that visually graphs CPU and RAM usage percentages, access to Nmap, and Server Stats will offer general server information like its Vitals, Hardware information, Memory information, processes, and so on. A security feature allows you to have Cura's database wiped when you send the compromised phone a secret pattern of your choosing. (e.g. send an SMS message containing "phone has been stolen!" to your Android phone to wipe Cura's database and receive the location of the compromised phone as an SMS to your emergency phone number or as an e-mail to your emergency email address).
SerLooK is a KDE application for inspecting data going over serial lines. It can work as a binary terminal that sends and receives data through a defined port (Point to Point mode) and displays them on separate views. Each view can be configured to display data in hexadecimal, decimal, octal, binary, and raw ASCII. It is also possible to perform I/O through terminal emulation views and define a secondary port and monitor the traffic between two external hosts using a "Y" cable (Snooper mode).
SecureCRT provides terminal emulation with secure remote access, file transfer (SFTP and X/Y/Zmodem), and data tunneling. Supported access protocols are SSH 1 and 2, telnet, telnet/SSL, and serial. It has emulation support for VT100/102/220, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Wyse 50/60, Xterm, and Linux consoles. It provides session management and tabbed sessions in one or more windows. The program is fully scriptable via VBScript, JScript, PerlScript, or Python.

Inspired by TRON: Legacy

I wanted to create a possible sequel to the TRON: LEGACY story. Since the TRON world enables to be creative without limits, I decided to extend the cyber-reality even more. In the future people´s reality will be completely directed by cyber space. I created a character design, that portraits my imagination of the "Search engine", the most important source of digital informations and the data archive as "the source" and the digital library, where can be "looked" into the past, present and future.

Tron is really an inspirational movie - it gives us a whole new universe of colors, shapes, style, way of thinking and life. My idea is for a game & sound lounge - you just sit there and enojy the high quality music and comfort, together with the TRON atmosphere. In the lounge you will find top quality, wireless subwoofer under the seat (on the front) and 5 integrated speakers on the back of the seat. Also there's included remote control, joypad, and even iphone/ipod dock station!

The Defender
The movie Tron with all its phantastic vehicles has always been a milestone in futuristic and forward-looking design ideas. This fact has always influenced my concept-sketches . Regarding my concept, i tried to combine the futuristic look of these vehicles with the dark and unclean environment of a future we, as humans, should expect. Thats why my picture is more a combination of an end-time scenario with some futuristic influences than a clean copy of the main Tron-theme. The vehicles name is "The Defender" and i named the picture "War at the Enemy´s gates".

tron|added Dec 21, 2010
The original Tron depicted a highly stylized representation of what is now possible in our contemporary electronics age- digital versions of users exist virtually in many ways ranging from stored vital data to active communication via the internet. I saw Tron at the theatre when I was 4 years old, and although no one could predict how accurate Tron would be in what is commonplace in terms of computers, the unique appearance of the film has resonated with me ever since and is one of my favorite movies. The simple story of an adventure through a unique circuit world (while demonstrating parallelisms to the real world) to triumph against a tyrannical power was something both modern and intiguing. Likewise, it showed a certain newness and excitement for computer use that is not so abundant today with our general societal electronic desensitization. I can still remember the amazement I felt when I first saw the lightcycle battle scene- my young mind enjoyed the multicolored spectacle of a video game battle that was much more detailed than the Atari-powered graphics that I was familiar with at the time. Nothing like that had been done before and it wowed that little version of me! The glowing energy of it all was fascinating, and it romanticized that which is usually regarded as cold circuits. My recalling of these feelings during my initial viewing is what sparked my inspiration for this submission, but it is updated for the young person of today- I present The Tron Legacy Lightrocker...

The End of Times?
A Rivals.com article called "Draft departures cause Top 25 to change," took another look at its first preseason poll of 2008 and had this to say about the Wolverines in the wake roster changes due to players leaving early for the NFL draft and coaching changes:
"Michigan's place in the top 25 was tenuous at best following the graduation of its starting backfield and offensive tackle Jake Long. Since then, wide receivers Mario Manningham and Adrian Arrington entered the draft and Chad Henne's heir apparent at quarterback, Ryan Mallett, transferred to Arkansas. New personnel and a new scheme could mean growing pains for new coach Rich Rodriguez.
Taking the Wolverines' place in the top 25 is Fresno State."
I'm sorry, for a second I thought that said Fresno State.
Fresno State, ladies and gentlemen.
As in the WAC. Taking Michigan's place in a preseason Top 25.
Fresno. State.
Holy Schembechler!
Hold on, folks, I'm looking outside for locusts. Because I'm pretty sure the Bulldogs replacing the Wolverines among college football's preseason elite is one of the signs of the Apocalypse as foretold in Revelations.
And to all those who couldn't wait for Lloyd to leave, who claimed any idiot with a coach's headset could do what he did with the talent at a school like Michigan, well, we'll see.

Preseason rankings are buttkiss anyways. Every time MI is ranked highly in the preseason (5th last year) they find some way to suck it up and drop way down. I'd rather see them unranked in the preseason and then power climb their way to the top. If you take much stock in preseason polls then you really shouldn't be watching college football.

It doesn't matter where we start in the polls, only where we end in them. Yes, you've got situations like Auburn in 2004, but I doubt it will matter for us this season. I'm thinking 9 wins sounds about right, maybe 10 if this QB situation turns out alright.

Ok, I'm one of those who have been calling for Lloyd's head for some time, so let me answer your question squarely- we're not ranked because of Lloyd, not R2. i'm sorry. I know it's very "michigan" of us to look back at lloyd and try to be kind, remember the "good times". yeah, that win over FLA was nice. But seriously- what else about last year does anyone care to remember??? The 0-2 start? The 0-2 finish of the regular season?
Face it- most of the program's problems, at least from a reputation standpoint, are a direct result of Lloyd's coaching over the last 5 years. we finished the last 5 years 1-4 in bowls, 1-4 against tosu, and 17 losses overall. compare our record to other top programs we like to think of as our peers- OU/USC/UT/any good SEC school over the same time period and we have sucked.
And last season? we lost to f'ing App St. that's not "maintaining" the program. that's letting it go to hell. Lloyd ran the program into mediocrity. we spent a significant amount of time unranked last season. Only the upset of FLA kept us finishing unranked for the 2nd time in 3 seasons (2005).
R2 may turn out to NOT be the answer. He may flame out in 3 seasons for all we know now. But if he does, when we look for a new coach, it won't be for another "Lloyd".

Pre-season rankings mean squat especially since they haven't even signed their new players or even had the spring game. I'm with the other folks here, I'd rather see them unranked and climb to the top rather than start and the top and crash to the bottom.

- Joshua said...
Well it'll make us look good when we beat the "Top 10" Domers on their home turf next september.
SIC, as usual I agree with you. While I respect the things that Lloyd did with the program- no check that- I respect Lloyd and his love of the program. What we did in the Florida game shows me that we could've been dominating the last few years if our coaches had been coaching like they were auditioning for other jobs and were aggressive insteas of playing not to lose on a consistent basis. We won because of our talent and in spite of the coaching, not vice versa. Had Lloyd opened things up and we'd been winning and he'd retired this year by his own choice, you can't tell me we wouldn't be ranked.
I think all the Chicken Little's need to relax a bit. What has happened at ND is a direct result of Three & Out Jesus's arrogance and refusal to simplify his offensive system. We won't have that problem with R2. the blocking schemes are simple, the reads aren't that complicated, and even if Threet is running it he's by all accounts a highly intelligent dude. I just don't see us having that big of a dip.
Oh, plus our defense is gonna be crazy good. I'm calling it right now.

Notebook, if you head over to MGoblog. Brian has a fairly comprehensive bunch of links to UofM blogs.

Michigan started the 1985 season un-ranked. Anyone know of any time after that?

1985? Really? If I recall, we went 10-1-1, conference co-champs, & beat Nebraska in the Fiesta to finish #2 in the final polls.
Maybe not the portend of doom afterall.
Tenuta is good, but Fat Charlie won't share the spot light w/ anyone. 1st time the media credits ND's defense for a win? It'll blow up.

Is it possible that Tenuta will get sucked into Charlie's Vortex of Bad? Does he have a Lions-like power to destroy coaches?

Hahaha, you know the funniest part...Michigan is scared to play Fresno State on the field. They know there's a good chance the 'Dogs would win.
Remember when Michigan agreed to a game at the Big House a few years ago and then backed out about a week later? I do.

A couple of things:
As duly noted by others, preseason means squat. Llllloyd made a career of being highly ranked early on, then dashing the fans expectations by the end of September.
Secondly, the reason they aren't ranked in the top 25 next season, is perhaps because Lloyd left the cupboard relatively bare? Once RR gets his feet under him, and a full year of recruiting, I think we will see the positive results on the field.

Surrounded in Columbus--despite the disagreements we've had on past posts, I totally agree with you. Break down Lloyd's performance against teams with a mobile QB (I know this has been rahashed all over the sports world, but it's worth being reminded of). Do you guys remember the San Diego State game? Northern Illinois? The first half of the '04 MSU game (before we knocked their QB out of the game)? Texas? Iowa and Brad Banks in '02? Vince Young and Texas? Looking at our history against mobile QBs and how Lloyd failed to prepare our team against them, is it any shock that we see App State and Oregon added to that list? The problem isn't that we thought Lloyd Carr was a crappy coach. The problem is that we thought Lloyd Carr was incapable of adapting the game to the different "types" of teams that we've played. Beating Florida was sweeeeet, but it happened because we changed the way we play football, at least for one game.
Lloyd does deserve credit, however, for the poise that he showed AFTER we lost those 2 games. He kept the team focused. But he was also fortunate that there wasn't another true spread offense left on that schedule. Our pre-Wisconsin comeback from the 0-2 start came at the intersection of Lloyd's poise and our good fortune of playing the power Big Ten offenses.

QinetiQ North America's Intelligence Rail Integrity System (IRIS) continuously monitors changes in rail temperature, stress and rail neutral temperature. If rail buckling or breaks are detected, IRIS alerts designated personnel to the location of the event via phone or e-mail through its emergency notification system. IRIS can also be used to help prioritize maintenance and establish performance trends of track structure. Protran will provide primary onsite installation and support for MTA.
Jason Lurz, director of rail operations at MTA stated, "The Maryland Transit Administration has been researching technology that would continuously track changes in rail temperature, stress and rail neutral temperature for some time. Protran Technology and QinetiQ have been selected as part of this demonstration project to expand our track monitoring capabilities."
Al Panuska, superintendent maintenance of way, metro, will be working on the more than 16 locations where the system is scheduled to be implemented.
