Georgia Tech men's basketball coach Paul Hewitt approved a series of tweets from GTCoachHewitt on Wednesday to fans and those who have questioned his team:
With what many analysts and opposing coaches say is the best frontcourt talent in the ACC, the Yellow Jackets are 18-9, 6-7 this season, which puts them seventh in the ACC this season. Depending upon which NCAA tournament blog you read, they will either safely make the field of 65 for the first time since 2007, or they are on the bubble. The team is 1-6 on the road in the conference this season, including last week's last-second 76-74 loss to Maryland. After hosting Boston College on Saturday, the team will play at Clemson and will host Virginia Tech as it tries to secure its spot in the NCAAs. The ACC tournament starts March 11 in Greensboro.
Hewitt is 172-140 in 10 seasons at Tech, including 67-89 in the conference and 6-5 in the NCAAs. His salary is $1.375 million a year, with a buyout of close to $7 million that rolls over every year.
Tech had media day on Thursday, and Hewitt spent about 10 minutes discussing the tweets and why they were sent out. I've transcribed the discussion below so that Hewitt's words will be out in cyberspace, unfiltered and mostly unedited (I cleaned up run-on sentences and thoughts that were started and then stopped).
In italics I've included the facts that Hewitt refers to regarding statistics for the team and other items of note, either confirming them or clarifying them.
I've only interviewed Hewitt three times, but he's always come across as very cool and collected. Today was the same. It may appear that it got loud, for a lack of a better word, but it didn't. I think in some cases Hewitt used you to refer to me, and other times he used you to refer to people in general.
Me: Can you clarify the tweets that went out yesterday?
Hewitt: Everybody's entitled to think what they want to think. But at some point you have to protect the effort of your staff and I think we are on the verge of getting to the NCAA tournament.
We are the youngest team in the ACC. You can choose to look at it as they are underachieving. You can choose to look at it as they are performing to expectations. You can choose to look it as they are overachieving. However you choose to look at it, support the team.
These guys work extremely hard. They go out and represent their school with tremendous class, in the class room, in the community and on the court. Quite frankly, I think some of the coverage is reduced to cyberbullying. But never question what these guys are doing and the effort they are putting out.
Really, what it comes down to, which is unfortunate I think, because I'm such a fan of journalism, a lot of the coverage is reduced to cyberbullying as opposed to giving some objective facts. Someone pointed out to me the other day that 41 percent of our minutes are played by freshmen. That's the highest of anybody in the ACC in the top half or on the verge of the NCAA tournament. North Carolina and N.C. State are the other two over 35 percent of their minutes played are from freshmen. That's got to be worth something.
*The four freshmen average 31 points per game and average 41 percent of the available minute, according to Tech basketball assistant SID Mike Stamus. That percentage leads the ACC.
You're talking about a team that's one of the top 10 defensive teams in the country. Defense is all about teamwork, effort and dedication.
* Tech is tied for 85th in points allowed (64.6) and fourth in field-goal percentage defense (37.2).
Now, free-throw shooting…the San Antonio Spurs have trouble with free throws. If you want to start bash guys for free throws, you don't know how hard some of these guys work at it to the point I have to throw them out of the gym to go and do their homework.
* Tech is 285th in the NCAA (.647) and 12th in the ACC (.647).
I just think that it's unclear what I'm saying is not lashing out. I'm asking people to pick a side. Either you're with us or against us. But pick a side. Don't degrade the effort, the intelligence the dedication of anybody associated with the program.
If you choose to pick a side, that's you. I'm not lashing out at anybody. The overwhelming majority of people I come in contact with are like "Coach, you guys are working your tails off. We appreciate how hard you guys work. Your guys are class kids."
But again, I do think there are times, when it's unfortunate because journalism is such a powerful tool and coverage is powerful, that it's cyberbullying. That's all it is.
Me: When you say cyberbullying, are you referring to…
Hewitt: Some of your writers. Some of your writers. Doug, I haven't read your paper since 2005. After the 2005 season, when that team that went to the ACC finals and went to the second round and lost to Louisville was absolutely bashed, I said there's no objectivity here. But, one of your former colleagues came by to see me the other day and said "I guess they went after you again, after a road loss." I said "Really?" It's just to the point of what are we looking at? Are we really that bad? We're on the verge of the tournament. But yet, anything I hear out of your paper I hear is a negative slant.
We're young, we're a great defensive team. I'm not sure what else I can say. As far as the people who write in or comment, that's fine. Just pick a side. If you want to come and help this team get over the hump, that's what it's about. There's nothing better than when a team wins, how it brings the whole community together.
This team really goes out and plays hard to make the community proud. If you choose to be negative, and choose not to support, that's your prerogative too. Just pick a side.
Me: If may ask one more question, when you ask about picking a side it seems most of the people who responded on twitter are dividing the players from you. They say they support the players but don't support you for a variety of reasons.
Hewitt: That's your perspective. The guy who runs the account for me says a variety of them are supportive of me and the team.
I'm just telling you what the guys tell me.
Me: There were a few that supported the coach, but there are equally dividing it up between you and the players.
Hewitt: Why does it have to get down to the issue of blame and judgment?
Me: Well, the tweets went out, telling people are you a critic or a supporter.
Hewitt: It's not lashing out, believe me. It's about simply, you've got to protect your staff and players. Especially when you know, and I hope you write this, that you're not letting the facts get in the way of the true story. Again, we're the youngest team, one of the top defensive teams. We just played a killer game against the second-best team in the league right now and lost on a tough shot. Now, because you can read a scoreboard and because the scoreboard doesn't come out the way you want to, you can criticize what's going on with the team. I'm not sure that's objective. Anyone who saw that game or was at that game would say they played their butts off and took a pretty good shot to beat them.
If it's about reading the scoreboard, my 11-year-old can read a scoreboard and come down on one side.
Coley Harvey of the Macon Telegraph: ….Were you thrown off by this reaction?
Hewitt: I had a couple of people who follow us, some in the media, who are friends of mine said this stuff's out of hand right now. I was like "What?" Again, I don't read you. You have to decide. This type of cyber-bullying undermines recruiting, not with this group but I can see where it undermines the fabric of a team.
[Hewitt told an anecdote about Vinny Del Negro]
We're recruiting here. We have people who are trying to determine between us and other teams. The truth is we have a young basketball team that's playing really well. You mean to tell me that if Cliff Tucker misses that shot it changes the reality of where we are going?
Now, if we come out on Saturday and play flat, don't play hard, turn the ball over all over the place and don't look prepared, that's different. Second half of Miami, Wake Forest, North Carolina and Maryland, those are the best stretches of basketball we've played, gosh, in two yearas. At least be objective and say there's something going on right here.
The scoreboard is important, don't get me wrong. Even if you read the scoreboard, we're the third-ranked APR team in the ACC. People pretty much have us solidly in the field. Am I wrong? So then, why all of this 'The plane is going down.'
Paul Griffin, my assistant AD, says we have the toughest strength of the schedule in the ACC and perhaps the nation. Come on now, tell the truth at least. your thoughts of me, your opinion of me might be one way. That's fine, I understand that. But at least tell the truth of what's really going on with the team.
*Tech's SOS is 14th in the nation and the RPI has their non-conference SOS is fourth in the ACC.
I'll make one last point, and what your guys don't understand, when you undermine a program you're not hurting the coach. You're hurting the kids that have a chance to play this game. The coaches go on. Those kids have 1-4 years to have a great experience. I can list guys who had to deal with it and went on and they're doing fine. But what about the kids who are on the team in the program in the heat of a season and allow doubt to creep in from outside.
That's what Bill Parcells always talks about, you fight three things: you fight the vision from within, you fight the other opponent and you fight outside influences. You've got to address those outside influences at some point, especially during critical junctures in the season, especially when they're not true.
Me: He also says you are what your record says you are, and you're less than .500.
Hewitt: That's the NFL. There's balanced schedules in the NFL. Everybody plays two times. You're not going to tell me that our schedule isn't the same. It's just not true. There's a classic example of understanding the facts and not reporting the facts. There's a big reason why Strength of Schedule is a big part of the NCAA equation. That quote about 'you are what your record is,' that's the NFL. That's the NBA.
Years ago, that was the ACC. That is not college basketball today. You guys very well know that. Am I right or wrong?
Now again, personal feelings aside, report the facts. Report the facts. That's all I'm asking.

Sooooo, you don't read the papers but are aware of the cyber bullying?
You are less than .500 in 9 years but your busting on your record is busting on the kids on the team? Which of the 9 teams are we busting on?
You continue to make millions and under-perform.
YOU Paul Hewitt are a disgrace. If you had any class you would save the kids of the future and quit.

Hewitt must have got my message to D-Rad. I sent it 2 weeks ago,and D-Rad thanked me for it.. The heat is on Hewitt. If he fails to make the tourney this yr. He will be gone in my opinion. Regardless of the cost…

Doug, with all due respect, some of your "questions" aren't "questions"; they're statements. I wasn't in your interview room, but they READ like disrespectful, badgering, "stiir-up-the-hornets-nest" comments like me ex-wife used to make.
Two examples: Your last "question" would sound MUCH more respectful IF it were INDEED a question, say, "Parcells also says you are what your record says you are; with your conference record less than 0.500, how would you assess your record against a Parcells'-like evaluation?" … or something like that. 2nd example: "They say they support the players but don't support you for a variety of reasons." Again,… a statement. Why not show some respect by adding an actual QUESTION: "Would you agree or disagree, why or why not"? You may SAY that goes "without saying", but your "questioning" without respect is "baiting" for a defensive answer, and just seems like a counter-productive journalism exercise to me.
Other comments: Hewitt is right about 2 things. First, Tech has really gotten the short-end of the stick in the Basketball "un"-balanced ACC schedule, and NOT just this year. Second, fans need to support the team and start to understand that as long as Hewitt is here, he is a big PART of our Team.
Reality is that unless somebody with big bucks comes along, the Hewitt "Golden Rollover" Contract will keep the chains on for a long, long time. We might as well support him, because the reality says we can't afford (financially) to do anything else.
February 25th, 2010
6:24 pm
Also, I don't understand why he repeatedly says Tech is one of the best defensive teams in the nation. I don't see it. Basketball is not a defensive game anyways, it's about how many points you can score. Good offense beats good defense any day of the week. This just makes me question his coaching even more. Placing too much emphasis on defense when he should be focused on taking care of the basketball and running an efficient offense. North Carolina won the national championship last year and I don't remember them being a "great defensive team", they had great offensive players.

Come on Jacket fans……Don't give up on this team. We have a chance to be at least 20-10 and 8-8 and a NCAA berth. Might even be 21-9 and 9-7. Either is fine………..Just want to make it. I would not want to be the team with a 4th seed having to play GT as a 12th seed. GT will make the NCAA's and win at least one and maybe 2 games. Not sure after that. Last week at Maryland was a fluke. MD got lucky with Tucker hitting that last second shot. He had never taken one since AAU ball. Give me a break, give the team a break and support them. If they don't make the NCAA's this year, the give Hewitt a hard time, but not until then. It just isn't warranted.

I have no qualms with the players or their efforts. My issue is with the coaching — the coaching which is a significant disservice to the players preventing them from maximizing their potential as individuals and as team. And this crap about the team working their butts off is just testimony to how poor the coaching is. There are hundreds of examples of teams working their tails off under coaches who are doing their best but don't achieve success. The reason? Those coaches best just doesn't measure up and there's nothing you can do about that except get someone who can coach and be successful at that level. I'm sure Bill Lewis was doing his best. Chan Gailey was doing his best. But their best wasn't as good as Bobby Ross's best or Paul Johnson's best. That''s just the way it is. And Paul hewitt's best is probably fine — somewhere else! But not at GT in the ACC right now!! Working your butt off is great but it only goes so far.

First off I am not even half way through this and I have a sudden urge to hurl.
One, what writers bash you on here??? Freakin pansy these writers treat you with too much finesse. If you were back in your home state you would have had your a$$ lit up years ago so quit your whining d bag.
Second, anyone notice that OFFENSE was never mentioned by Blewitt. I guess we now know why this team has no clue what they are doing on that side of the ball because all Blewey wants to do is focus on defense and tweeting.
Third, of course I want to make this team get over the hump. That is why I want you to get on a bus, plane, or train and get the he!! out of town tonight never to return again. Blewitt has to be the most delusional egomaniac in the world. I will stop bashing the kids but I will never stop bashing you until you are where you belong (Southland or Southern Conference TOPS) Also the "we are young" excuse is getting old as you have used it after every single loss since the run of 2004.
The third question's answer is hysterical. I thought Hewitt was at least intelligent but I am now rethinking that stance. If a portion of people are critical of you then, yes, that also means a portion is supportive by nature DONK.
"those are the best stretches of basketball we've played, gosh, in two years" — ummm thats supposed to say a lot?? I could find a high school girl's team that has played better than us the last two years …… now i am convinced he is a complete moron
"People pretty much have us solidly in the field. Am I wrong?"—- Yes a$$hole you are
"Me: He also says you are what your record says you are, and you're less than .500.
Hewitt: That's the NFL. There's balanced schedules in the NFL. Everybody plays two times —– Again 100% Incorrect, this is becoming a trend
Doug i would have reached across the desk and cold slapped him across his smug face. Have fun in the NIT Blewitt

1) The results over his tenure speak for themselves.
2) I am a 20+ year season ticketholder and attend most of the games. I think you can support the team and voice your displeasure.
3) CPH needs to just shut up and coach.
4) I don't see why he's shocked about criticism. We have a losing conference record and a losing record to the hapless mutts during his tenure.
February 25th, 2010
6:39 pm
NoCoach Blewitt, you are right I mentioned that in my post. He didn't say one word about the one thing that wins games in basketball: OFFENSE.
Yeah you need to be able to get some defensive stops at key times, but you can't teach defense. Either players are quick enough to guard someone or they aren't. You put the slower players on the slow players and play help defense when they get beat.
Offense > Defense

6:45 pm
I do not support Paul Hewitt continuing as coach. I definitely support the players, and I believe they are giving it everything they've got. And I think they played a great game at Maryland; if they can keep it up, they can finish the season well and perhaps make a run in the ACC tourney and the NCAA. But I believe it is time for Paul Hewitt to leave – he is in over his head, by any objective measure of coaching ability. I will change my mind only if we both (1) make it to the ACC Finals and (2) make it to the Sweet 16.
February 25th, 2010
6:46 pm
What good is making the NCAA tourney if we aren't going to win a game? How could we ever possibly beat a good team on the road or at a neutral site? Blewitt will get out coached as usual, the team will shoot less than 50% from the line and have 15+ turnovers. I'm a longtime Tech fan and an alum. If missing the tourney means that Drad will pull the trigger and get rid of this assclown I hope we lose out. It's unacceptable and embarrassing that I feel that way but it is what it is. No sacrifice no victory.
February 25th, 2010

All Blewitt accomplished with this article is alienate more people
San Antonio Spurs FT shooting = .743
If we shot FT like that we would have at least 4 fewer losses so great comparison Paul!!!! Bravo buddy you proved our point for us …. There are your "FACTS" donk!!!!!!

Paul I think you actually somehow managed to beat out someone up in Washington DC as the biggest moron of the day/week/month (which I thought would be impossible), and you also beat the same person in alienating more people. (GT Country instead of the whole country of course)

The team is "young" excuse doesn't wash. In college basketball one or two new players can make a huge difference in a team from year to year. This just proves that either PH is recruiting the wrong players or he can't coach them. His won-lose record is the ultimate proof though that the coaching isn't there and that it is time for him to go.
February 25th, 2010
7:02 pm
C'mon y'all. This is pathetic.
Coach Hewitt has run a classy & clean program since day 1 in the ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE.
You know, since graduating from Tech and moving to NC, I've been able to follow a lot of ACC ball, and more importantly, follow a lot of ACC fans. The teams with a fan/booster base that succeed, are the patient ones; the ones that bellyache and kick out layers of negativity.
This situation with the Tech fans reminds me more and more about what NC State did to Herb Sendek. Moan, b!tch, moan, forgetting the 1/2 a decade that preceded his arrival, push him out, and BLAM, trade a tactically and morally strong coach for a dud. Meanwhile Sendek goes to another program and continues to produce a solid team there.
They still complain impatiently, but instead of having teams that go to the sweet sixteen, they are now a pathetic shadow of what they'd could be.
Hewitt's squad is, at worst a team that struggles and is on the bubble for the dance. At best, well, they can break 500 in the conference schedule and have proven they can play against anyone in the ACC. That could mean some good things in March.
If they drop the ball then, by all means get all indignant about it. In the mean time, take a chill, and like the man says, pick a side.
February 25th, 2010
7:04 pm
The ONE thing that Paul Hewitt got right in his press conference (he got many things wrong):
"Doug, I haven't read your paper since 2005. After the 2005 season, when that team that went to the ACC finals and went to the second round and lost to Louisville was absolutely bashed, I said there's no objectivity here."
The AJC has a funny way of supporting local teams, including UGA (yes, this is a TECH fan saying this). May be that's not their job, but this is the highest profile publication in the state — and we are at their mercy. The AJC never fails to skewer coaches, players, and fans unmercifully. You can basically predict Bradley and Schultz will slaughter these teams when they lose. This has a national effect. The national story is created locally by these folks, and it has a ripple effect. As great as UGA has been over the last decade in football I cant help but think if they ever got some objective support from the AJC, they could probably win a championship.
Its college sports. When I was growing up, we kept things in perspective. This isn't professional sports. Academics comes first, always has, always will. I wouldn't trade academics for ESPN. Athletics are fantastic, but not when they become a sideshow.
February 25th, 2010

Calalacka blewitt is the least tactical coach in the nation. NC State does not reside within the best recruiting base in the country either. I picked my side years ago. Blewitt must go.

Doug — Your questions seemed fair and objective, especially in light of Coach Hewitt's tweets. He may or may not be a good bench coach, however he didn't flatter his perspective with his choice of words.
The guy comes across in his tweets and in this interview as being overly sensitive and somewhat defensive. It's not helping him and it's not helping his team.
February 25th, 2010
7:12 pm
Coach Hewitt IS feeling the heat and rightfully so. This negativity is not about his players (as he would like us to believe), it's about him and coaching those players. Since 2004 he's had his share of good talent with some very good recruiting classes and he's done nothing with those classes, but gotten worse.
The players change but the Coach remains the same … seems to me the constant here is the coach and the results. I can understand him defending himself but him trying to say the fans are unhappy with the players IS NOT TRUE! Fans have commented on their talents being wasted because of the coaching.
When a coach isn't cutting it … they point to everything but themselves.
February 25th, 2010
7:13 pm
Does anyone understand what he was trying to say about his record?
Is he saying the ACC is too hard to be .500 in?
February 25th, 2010

Here are some FACTS about Paul Hewitt coached teams at GT:
In 10 seaons a Hewitt coached team has never been in the top 100 in Free Throw %.
Only once has a Paul Hewitt coached team shot over 70% free throws. In 2003 they made 70.01%
These are facts, and these facts do not bash the players. When you have a ten year trend, there is no way to blame players that are at GT for four or less.

Hewitt is getting the most out of what he has
February 25th, 2010
7:18 pm
The real issue here is that Hewett has made a big mistake with his Tweets. He may have felt the need to defend his team, but the one-liner nature of the Tweets starts to give validity to the criticisms. He would have been best off to use tact in his normal interviews through the media. Instead he'll reap a direct response of hostility with those who are frustrated from his coaching results. I've frequented the AJC blogs for some time, and I just can't agree with his statements to the effect that the majority of the criticisms are directed at his players. The majority of the criticisms are definitely aimed squarely at him.
I was a student at Tech when Hewett came to the program, and I graduated the year before they went to the final four. As I've kept up with the team I've noticed that our only true years of success have come when we've had strong upperclass players. Unfortunately, Hewitt tends to recruit great players that leave after one or two years. He also has had good (but not great) players that left to the NBA way too early (Crittenton & Young come to mind). So in effect the team is always young. I feel that this is the biggest hinderance to the success of the team. And responsibility falls directly on Hewitt for this problem. Yes, he should want to help his kids reach their dreams, but his responsibilities are to the school. And so he needs to start saying no to one year rental recruits or he needs to start doing a better job coaching them up in one year. Regardless, a losing conference record over nine years is unacceptable and points directly to the coach and nobody else.

OK, I think I see what he was trying to say, but I'd disagree – at least in the NFL.
February 25th, 2010

Other programs go through losing players to the draft and have a heck of a lot more success than Hewitt has. This is all about coaching at Georgia Tech.
Way too many excuses for Coach Hewitt … losers always have too many excuses.

First of all, CPH needs to stop worrying about what's being said and focus on the job at hand. What is he so upset about? CPH just go out and get some wins and no one will say a word!!
Cackalacka, what was your point? So I guess UNC was real patient with Brad Dougherty? Ni they fired him and moved on!! duke has had coach K for ever so he doesn't count. Well you have Coach Williams at Maryland…he won a NC. Everyone else has been on the coaching carousel. We have been more than patient with CPH. Losing record in the ACC, which is down and he has All Americans all over the place.
CPH just win games and this will all take care of itself.

Wayter's comment: "I do not support Paul Hewitt continuing as coach. I definitely support the players, ….."
I don't follow the logic, but maybe you can help me understand by ANSWERING THIS question:
Since WHEN is a Coach NOT an integral part of a TEAM?
Your logic seems "half-pregnant" to me.
You either support the ENTIRE team; or you don't support the team at all. Make up your mind.
As for Hewitt, there is no money sitting around to pay his "evergold" contract off, so we might as well pull like crazy for him to turn it around. It isn't like we have a choice: We don't.
And don't take my word for it. BOTH Hewitt's contract AND the GTAA financial statements are PUBLIC documents.
Go read them.
THEN, …. you will understand.
February 25th, 2010
7:29 pm
I'm so damned sick of Hewitt. He's egocentric and only has one season to back it up.
Doug, I want you to tell him that making the tournament is expected out of a Georgia Tech team. I don't care how young we are. We have at least three future NBA first rounders on the team. I support them. I support the rest of the team. I don't support Hewitt, whose teams have consistently underachieved during the entire time he's been here. Since he made the finals, his record in the ACC has been terrible.
Ask him how he justifies that. At the end of the day, its results. His record the last four years just doesn't get it done.
February 25th, 2010

On a positive note …. at least he mentors his players off the court well and makes sure that they are taking their studies seriously …. and eventually graduate!!!

February 25th, 2010
7:39 pm
Doug, here are some additional facts you can report: A Hewitt coached GT team has never had less than 15 turnovers per game. GT has been in the top 100 in turnovers every year since 04, and 3 years in the top 30 in turnovers (04 and prior we were consistently in the 120's or 130's). We are 26th this year with 16.4 per game.
If he wants to talk about losing close games, maybe he should look at HIS record of coaching turnover prone teams. Again, I don't see this as attacking the players since it is looking a trend that outlasts any player currently on the team. These are the facts of Hewitt's coaching.

b3rg: I empathize with ya man, but to quote a famous person: "You are what you are".
We have THE best "athletes" among the teams on our schedule. However, as "basketball players", we are merely "very good" ; NOT great. Take TWO skills, for example: Free Throws & ball handling. We are NOT good at either, as evidenced by poor free throw percentage and lots of turnovers. Is this Hewitt's fault? ONLY if you want to blame his recruiter. BASKETBALL skills like FT shooting and ball-handling are taught in middle school and AAU ball. NOT College Basketball.
We have some great NBA-bound players. Shaq has made MILLIONS in the NBA, and lost lots of games at LSU because he couldn't make free throws.
Are you saying that they can't "coach-up" Shaq to make free throws? I say he's already AT his best potential for free throws; JUST LIKE OUR KIDS.
When it comes to fundamentals, we are who we are. And we are NOT the quality BASKETBALL players that we had on the 2004 roster. THOSE guys could handle the ball AND make free throws in the clutch. Bynum, Elder, Jack, etc… were great BASKETBALL players first, and were also "good athletes" second.
This year's team has some great future NBA players … and like Shaq … will make MILLIONS. But missed free throws and tons of turnovers lose games at the college level.
And, that IS who we are this year.

Here is the fact coach. You were good for 3 years, then got the big contract and have since been lackadaisical. That is the fact!!!

Straightjacket do you work for Tech?
You CAN ABSOLUTLY support the players and not the COACH.
The COACH is not a part of the TEAM he is part of THE COACHING STAFF. That is why when TEAMS and individuals win a gold medal in the olympics THE COACH DOES NOT get one too.
There is a definite separation between the two. I COMPLETELY support the TEAM of players and ALWAYS will. But I did not not support Coach Gailey and I do not support Coach Hewitt.
He is not focused on the right things here.
Go WIN games and shut up!!
February 25th, 2010
7:45 pm
Just fire Hewitt!

Ever notice how Hewitt is so quick to use excuses? "We're young, we've had injuries, grade issues, etc." Other coaches deal with these same issues and find ways to win. Just shut up with the excuses and go out and win some games.
February 25th, 2010
7:49 pm
I sit next to a member of the Tech faculty at AMC. He told me that when Gailey was fired, D-Rad sent out an appeal to (wealthy) alums to help "pay the bill." He was met with resounding success to that appeal. I expect (or at least HOPE) for the same appeal now in order to buy out Hewitt. It MUST happen. We cannot continue this way.
February 25th, 2010

BLAH BLAH BLAH…Just win the next three and get in the tournament. That is all. I will be supporting either way.

ever since Diana died and the new drugs all awareness has kind of dissapeared and we need someone with his status to bring it back into people's eyes and ears.
I am trying to do my bit for the last 15 years raising awareness though the circus arts ( contemporary form) and am now looking to train disabled people to become artists for the Paralympic ceremonies.
http://www.cirquenova.com or
I would love to tell Mr Fry about these projects and see if he would be willing to support my work, just because it is another social issue that can achieve more with his support, but I am very aware that too many people ask for his help.
all I can say is to please have a look at my website and see how interesting what we do is, forward it to potential sponsors people with money who would fund us to allow this project to work out, although obviously media attention would be what we really need.
I am out and proud of my HIV+ status, I am celebrating this very week 20 years of living with it and I still look healthy, good and I am rather fit...life is still good to me, although I could do with my company making enough to allow me to get wagtes and stopp depending on the embarrasment to be on benefits...
thanks for your support, or at least for what you have done for stigma in HIV this far.
Et si vous le voulez nous pouvons parler en Francais, Espanol, Italiano, or Deutch, although I am Dutch...but no-one cares to learn that language!!!

The scene with Black Widow yelling to people to get out of the way as Winter Soldier follows her through the streets really made me think that. I know everyone complained about the loss of life in Man of Steel and here was the non-superpowered Natasha actively trying to get people out of the way of the big bad. The audience expects that of Captain America but even the most morally dubious good guy is more thoughtful than Superman was in MOS
From ONTD. I think this speaks volumes about how I feel about the DCU at the moment. (via 1critic)
YES. The thing is, it doesn't take much to change the tone of that sort of thing. I've seen people point out that Avengers destroyed large chunks of NYC (including my office building) and no one complains about that, but that's because the filmmakers took time to show Steve coordinating crowd control. MOS's Superman didn't even try.(via pluckyredhead)
Seriously, guys. There is no way to defend HYDRA or members thereof.
Can I just say that one of my very favorite parts of Winter Soldier was Nick Fury cocking an eyebrow at the police officers side-eyeing his expensive vehicle and sneering, "You wanna see my lease?"
Because the idea of Nick Motherfucking Fury having to deal with shit as disgusting and petty as racial profiling is sort of painfully realistic and heartbreaking. He's hugely, massively powerful, and he's sitting in his bulletproof car pondering decisions of worldwide import, but also he gets pulled over sometimes and asked for his registration because the police assume he stole it.
Ack. I was just so pleased that they included that line.
yeah the import of that really struck me the second time I watched the movie.
The driving while black bit was one of my favorite parts.
Yeah, this really struck me the second time when I wasn't just sitting there terrified his car would blow up at any moment. It really makes you think of all the shit he had to go through to get where he is today and still the police give him the side eye when he drives up in an expensive car. Also, obviously we find out later they're HYDRA agents but the car chase scene is literally a bunch of white guys in police uniforms shooting at a single black man and it's an image we've seen a million times (on the news, in the movies, even on Agents of Shield with Mike Peterson) only this time the police are the bad guys and we're rooting for Nick. I just thought, especially in the context of scene preceding it where it's made clear that Nick's had to deal with racism and profiling that it was a interesting choice to make HYDRA the police.
Or as he's driving through the city with all these people disguised as cops chasing him and shooting at him and knowing that nobody would even think that he might be innocent and in need of help.
That last comment was my thought too, while I was watching that scene. Nobody's going to help him. Nobody's going to think that maybe something's wrong with this picture even though there are like a billion cops with bazookas and explosives and shit chasing one single black buy in an SUV. Nobody's going to think outside that one narrative.
One might point out that while these specific white cops were HYDRA agents rather than racists (unless they were also racists), the way Nick says it implies this wouldn't be the first time.
HYDRA comes from Nazis. I don't know you get HYDRA as NOT being racists. From the side-eye the cops give, to what's his face calling Sam 'boy', to the general disregard of Natasha as a woman, despite knowing what she is/her training - like?
But yeah, Fury does say it like it's not at all the first time.
Like seriously there was someone who leapt to defend Hydra.
"These specific white men were Nazis rather than racists."
Not all Nazis!

More important than my own political views or my own voting intentions are my hopes that nothing I say will stop you from choosing Conservative if you consider it the right way to cast your vote. It may be you will be voting Tory through dyed-in-the-wool instinct and loyalty or it may be that you are someone who once voted Labour or Lib Dem but who has decided that Cameron and the Conservatives will be best for Britain. It's none of my business, but do vote just as you want and be proud to do so.
© Tony Husband 2010 for Stephenfry.com
As for me, I am still hovering between One and Three and I suspect I will not be sure until I am actually facing the voting form, Sharpie in hand. (Will it be Sharpies? I do hope so. I virtually addicted to their fumes)
I know that the above may please no one. Some will despise me for failing to condemn Conservatives more outrightly and fervently, others will think that I'm a stupid lovie pinko who should shut the hell up. We can all agree I hope that my views are worth no more (and no less) than yours in any sense, but especially in the sense that counts — in the polling booth.
A final plea
If you wish to avail yourself of the commentary option below, please remember to be considerate, understanding and democratic in spirit. By all means tell me why I should vote Conservative or UKIP or any other way, but do so without rancour, resentment, spite or viciousness. Trolling is the internet's cancer and its lethal metastasising horrors have no place here. Go to other political blog sites or newspaper comment areas if you want to be splenetic and loud and mercilessly abusive. Not here. Please.
Above all. Vote on Thursday!
Wednesday 12th May 2010. Comments are now closed for this blog. Thank you for your contributions.

"They say sharia forbids it," says Rakiatou Wallet Tannal, [...] referring to Islamic law. "That's their sharia, not the sharia of Muslims."posted by Pallas Athena at 5:03 PM on December 1, 2012 [2 favorites]
"I'm a Muslim, but Sharia isn't my thing," says Rokia Traoré, one of Mali's most famous international stars. "If I couldn't go up on stage anymore, I would cease to exist. And without music, Mali will cease to exist."

(Huffington Post) The standoff over the government shutdown is, obviously, a political affair, with each side hoping to extract enough pain that the other acquiesces. But part of effective politics is pretending (in a convincing fashion) that politics doesn't matter. So it's hard to see how this quote from an anonymous official inside the administration does the White House much good.
Via the Wall Street Journal:
Said a senior administration official: "We are winning…It doesn't really matter to us" how long the shutdown lasts "because what matters is the end result."

I care about you and what matters in your life, whether it's the sexualization of young girls, women's rights and safety or just the things that keep you up at night. I care and I want to hear from you".

I just remembered, that I gave to my client a half of a bottle of Frankincense and told her to rub it on the fatty tumor on her belly and to use a base oil. She said out of amazement that it shrunk the fatty tumor and now it is gone and i believe the oils of Scripture are given to us for a reason as God wanted us to use his words and his knowledge that surpasses all understanding and all we have to do is to apply it to our lives today. God bless all.

Lufthansa Technik Combines AVOD And BYOD On Bombardier's Challenger 350
Bombardier has selected Lufthansa Technik's nice HD cabin management and in-flight entertainment system for its upgraded Challenger 350, thus adding audio and video on-demand distribution to personal devices.
Lufthansa Technik said that its nice HD system has a flexible, open IP architecture, based on a wired and wireless broadband Ethernet network. The bottom line in the Challenger 350 will be that each passenger can watch individually chosen movies on an Apple, Android or Windows 8 device and also push content from the device to an embedded display.
Another nice HD feature is telephony integration at each seat, with call alert. A moving map is available both in 3-D and 2-D (the latter version is interactive). Lufthansa Technik said that nice HD offers "an embedded digital rights management system framework for studio-licensed content, as required by major Hollywood studios."
Lufthansa Technik is here offering demonstrations of the nice HD system at Booth 1031.

'Graceland': Stylish and slick
By Kate Erbland, Special to MSN Movies
The kidnapping revenge thriller gets a twist in Ron Morales' "Graceland," as the actioner attempts to flip the script on both convention and expectation, mostly to mixed results. Television star Arnold Reyes headlines the mostly Filipino cast as a seemingly average man caught up in forces far beyond his control, a father driven to the edge when his young daughter is taken from him. It's a standard sort of plotline, but "Graceland" smartly builds in key pieces of additional exposition, with even the most minor detail proving important.
Reyes' Marlon Villar is a longtime employee of the corrupt (and, as we soon learn, perverted and sexually deviant) politician Manuel Changho (Menggie Cobarrubias), and his personal troubles have blinded him to the fact that he has become complicit to some of Changho's worst transgressions. Heartsick over his ill wife, struggling to care for their young daughter, Marlon is beleaguered and thus completely unequipped to deal with an afternoon kidnapping attempt aimed at Changho's own young daughter. When the crime goes awry, it is Marlon's own child who is taken, and the regular guy must go to extreme means to get her back from her ruthless and calculating kidnapper (an adept Leon Miguel), unaided by a suspicious (and corrupt) police force and the ever-more-nefarious Changho.
After a jaw-dropping burst of violence in the first act, the middle of "Graceland" falls surprisingly flat, and though its repetitive nature seems in place to continually build on Marlon's desperation and isolation, Reyes is more than capable in his role, and his performance doesn't need to be trumped up to make it effective. Though a late-breaking twist attempts to shock viewers and make them reconsider everything that has already occurred in the film, it's the sort of cinematic "gotcha!" move that has been pulled before and will be used again.
What the film lacks in plot originality, it makes up for with slick style and impressive technical elements. Its gritty, handheld camerawork and dark, muted palette are pitch-perfect mood setters, and even when the film's script isn't up to snuff, its look and feel keep it clipping along as a mostly entertaining thriller with brief dashes of brilliance. The film is writer and director Morales' second feature, but the former key grip has worked on such diverse projects as "Michael Clayton," "The Departed," "Spider-Man 3," and "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist," a wide cross-section of big budget films that have surely helped shape his unique point of view and style.
