Kyle Bosch Takes Indefinite Leave Of Absence
Sophomore guard Kyle Bosch is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team, per this release from the athletic department:
Below is a statement from Michigan head football coach Brady Hoke:
"Kyle Bosch has taken a leave of absence for an undetermined amount of time for personal reasons. We ask that his privacy be respected at this time. We wish him the best and look forward to his return."
Bosch started three games as a true freshman last year, but only played one snap in the opener. His most recent tweet didn't indicate any issue with the program—in fact, quite the opposite:
Couldn't be prouder having the people family, and teammates that care about me I love em all couldn't be prouder to be a wolverine
— Kyle Bosch (@Kyle_Bosch65) September 1, 2014
Here's hoping Bosch is able to work through whatever is going on at this time.
Fall Camp Presser 8-20-14: Brady Hoke
News bullets and other items:
Today's starting offensive line would be Mason Cole- LT; Erik Magnuson- LG; Jack Miller- C; Burzynski/Bosch/Kalis- RG; Ben Braden- RT
Jabrill Peppers will start at nickel but has picked up the defense fast enough that he's taking some snaps at boundary corner
Hoke can't remember Devin Funchess dropping a single pass in fall camp which, like, eeeeee
Derrick Green and DeVeon Smith are considered the downhill backs, while Drake Johnson and Justice Hayes are the third-down backs
Preparation for that game on the 30th against that one team begins Thursday
Brady Hoke "Well,…" count: 6
Opening remarks:
"Thanks for coming out. I think we haven't spoken to each other since Saturday. We've had good practices, good energy, good competition. I think that's one thing we've talked about every time is to compete and challenge each other and I think this team has done that. I think there's leadership throughout the team in all classes which has been good to see. If you're good enough, you're old enough and that's been part of what we talked about. I think that's very good. Starting to get...we are starting to get prepared for Appalachian State here in the next couple days. We'll do some things with switch [?] teams and really have some good competition with that part of it and also keep the speed of how we want to play the game, so there will always be situational ones on ones, twos on twos. Tomorrow is Tuesday, the next day is Wednesday and Saturday is a Thursday how we look at it and next week we'll take Sunday and do some walk-throughs, get the tape reviewed. Next Tuesday will be a Tuesday, Wednesday will be a Wednesday, and Thursday will be Thursday so you've got to figure it out on my end sometimes. But it's been a good camp. I guess we'll break on Saturday morning – about 1 PM on Saturday after we go up to the stadium, have a good practice there. We'll do a lot of game rehearsal things, trying to put the players in situations that they will be in. I think that's important. So… excited. I think we're all excited. Are we ready? Not yet, so we have a lot of work ahead of us but at the same time I like how we go about our business every day."
You said this was the day you start preparing for App State. Do you have a set offensive line?
"Well, I think there's still some competition but I think Ben Braden has been a very steady performer at right tackle. I think Mason Cole has been very, very steady at the left tackle position. I always get asked – not just by you guys but Mason Cole, you don't notice him so you don't notice any mistakes. He's not a guy who's been a guy who killed plays and that's the kind of stuff… Jack will be the center, Kugler will back him up. We'll be without Graham as you all know. Mags will be the left guard if we were playing today and at the right guard I think there's good competition. Joe Burzynski, Kyle Bosch, Kalis is getting work at both guards, he's just getting back into things yesterday so I think we're still– I have an idea, but I don't think we're set at that right guard position right now."
What did the film from Saturday show you as far as the offensive line goes?
"You know, there were some holes and there were some holes we have to take advantage of and there's also times where the back's got to make it right, you know, quarterback drifting out of his ball handling knocks a back out of his A gap. We had some of those. Still not enough of them. We still got to move the line of scrimmage better and that's a constant that we'll have. I thought that yesterday the backs did a nice job. I think that Fred [Jackson] definitely had an effect on how they need to approach it and so I think we're making really good progress there."
To clarify something from Saturday, did you say that in a 4-3 defense, your base, Jabrill [Peppers] would be a corner and then slide into the nickel spot?
"Yeah, I mean he would slide inside. We're going to really try and make sure that he's set at the nickel before we get too far out there being a boundary corner. I mean, we played him at boundary corner some the other night with the first group. There's some things that are different when you're playing one-third than when you're playing a nickel position so right now, yes, he's playing some corner but we are going to focus in on nickel with him in there."
You said that you wanted him just to be practicing in one position to get really comfortable there. What have you seen out of him that you feel comfortable, obviously, giving him more responsibility?
"Well, he's learned fast. I think the way he's engrossed himself in the playbook. I think from a fundamental/technique standpoint he's come a long way. Just think he's done a nice job overall."

Quick Hoke Presser Tidbits: O-Line Taking Shape?
3/5 of the starting line for the opener? [Bryan Fuller/MGoBlog]
Brady Hoke held a presser this evening, and while Adam should have the full transcript up later, Brian asked me to do a quick rundown since this was a particularly newsworthy one. Let's start with—you guessed it—the offensive line, which seems to be taking form.
Mason Cole, Erik Magnuson, Jack Miller, Graham Glasgow and Ben Braden is likely your starting OL. per Hoke.
— Michael Spath (@Spath_Wolverine) August 14, 2014
That's from left to right, and confirms what Hoke said on the radio earlier today about Braden solidifying his spot at right tackle, with Mason Cole still holding strong at LT.
While Glasgow looks to be the starter at right guard, he's suspended for the opener; Kyle Bosch and David Dawson are competing to start against Appalachian State. As for concern that Kyle Kalis hasn't been mentioned much at all this fall, there's apparently good reason for his absence:
Sounds like Jack Miller's in position to start game one at center ... Right guard spot? Bosch and Dawson. Kalis' back is ailing.
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) August 14, 2014
If Hoke is to be believed, Miller is in position to do more than just start the first game—according to the man in charge, Miller is outplaying Glasgow at center. That'd be great news, as it would allow Glasgow to work at guard—where he seems to be a better option than Bosch/Dawson—and let Miller provide an apparent upgrade at center over Michigan's most consistent interior lineman from last year (that is, admittedly, not a distinction worth throwing a parade over).
UPDATE: Per Angelique Chengelis, Hoke actually said that Kalis would be a starter—though one or both of them didn't specify where—if his back was healthy.
Hoke said Kalis has been held out w back (doesn't sound major), would be a starter. Miller has edge at center over Glasgow (out 1st game)
— angelique (@chengelis) August 14, 2014
That could mean Kalis would take over at left guard, Magnuson would slide over to left tackle, and Cole would move to the bench, or it could mean that Kalis would play right guard over Glasgow.
Michigan held a scrimmage on Wednesday, and in addition to Kalis, three other players were held out: Devin Funchess, Drake Harris, and Delano Hill. Harris is dealing with a hamstring injury, while Hill is reportedly two to three weeks away from returning from his broken jaw. No reason was given for Funchess' absence that I could find, so let's hope upon hope that it was simply "you're Devin Funchess, and we have no need to risk you."
Multiple spots are still up for grabs. Hoke praised the scrimmage performances of Derrick Green and Drake Johnson, while saying De'Veon Smith had a slow start. On the other side of the ball, Jake Ryan is the only linebacker who's locked down a starting spot.
Jabrill Peppers "has a handle" on playing nickel, so he's now getting some work in at cornerback. Given Michigan's depth there, that sounds very positive in regards to Peppers' development.
Adam will have the full transcript up at some point, but that should hold you over for now.
Upon Further Review 2013: Offense vs Northwestern
FORMATION NOTES: Northwestern stuck to a 4-3 virtually the entire game, with pretty predictable rules as to how they would line up.
When Michigan aligned its strength to the short side of the field and had twins, NW would slide the LBs and play an even front. They would slide the LBs to the twins and shift their line to the strength of the formation when M aligned with their strength to the field.
When Michigan presented Ace, they would play a 4-3 under.
The primary exception to this was the redzone, where Northwestern played their safeties as extra LBs.
Five yards off the LOS and coming on the snap is why those two Derrick Green carries from around the ten ended up losing yards. The first one was actually blocked quite well.
Note that the way NW aligned consistently invited the bubble fake run game, as their corners played off and the slot LB had to respect the bubble. With a safety over the top those two guys removed three players from the box and left Michigan with seven on seven blocking opportunities without having to use the threat of Gardner's legs. It will still work if teams play Michigan like this; if they don't Michigan will have to find something else.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: QB, WR, and the OL were all as you would expect. Dileo seemed to return full strength in this one and this meant Jackson was removed. Paskorz got some early PT but it was Williams most of the way as inline blocky guy. The line remained Lewan/Bosch/Glasgow/Magnuson/Schofield save for some goal line plays on which Kalis game in at RG and weird stuff happened otherwise, like wing TE Taylor Lewan.
Running back was of course an overhaul, with Derrick Green getting the bulk of the work, De'Veon Smith becoming a 30% second, and Justice Hayes acting as a third down back sometimes. Joe Kerridge also got a few snaps as a running back in the shotgun on passes.
[After THE JUMP: wherein we seem relatively happy with nine points in regulation.]
Picture Pages: Various Plays Of No Interest
Every time I post a play analysis these days there are a half-dozen people in the comments who mention that if player X did hard thing Y they are not prepared to do then the play would work. This has gotten to the point where I can explicitly prepare for such criticism and find them ignored, as in the most recent one, and find a diary on this site asserting that if player X did hard thing Y something would have worked.
This is extremely frustrating to me, because these are good-faith attempts to paint broader pictures of what I'm seeing down to down, game after game, year after year, as I try to figure out what Michigan football is doing. Various critics, most prominently Space Coyote, make a few small concessions and then go about explaining why play X was a good call and why it would have worked. They implicitly assert things like "Joe Kerridge in a ton of space should deviate from expecting Nebraska to use their slot LB as a force and ably block that guy when that LB believes the inverted veer is coming, has no need to respect the slot receiver because he is covered, and runs directly into Fitzgerald Toussaint."
I disagree with that. I have watched a lot of people play a lot of football and I think that's hard. I'm trying not to have a stance here; I am evaluating whether I think a thing is easy to do or hard and assigning a number to that feel. Coaches tend to think everything is an execution issue. Players should be able to do arbitrarily hard things. Some arrows on a diagram say this should work. Meanwhile I think there's a 10% chance for Kerridge to abort the plan and do anything with hell-for-leather blitzer and judge accordingly. Various guys dying on Borges Hill disagree.
I don't know what might be sufficient other than 175 yards against Nebraska to convince these guys that a poor offensive game plan can even exist, but here are various things that are normally too dull to post in a Picture Pages in which unblocked guys on blitzes obliterate Michigan runners for no or little gain.
These are representative of a larger slice of the game and a general feel that confirmed the Nebraska players' postgame assertions that they were expecting most of what Michigan threw at them. Tomorrow's Picture Pages will cover every play of the game, because this isn't going to work either.
Here is an iso. The slot LB is an eighth guy in the box and crashes down unblocked to tackle.
As this goes for three yards it qualifies as one of Michigan's best plays on the day on the ground. Three yards is not good on first and ten, and there was nothing Michigan could do about it.
Here is a zone play. Nebraska loads up and sends a blitz through a gap that Michigan doesn't pick up as Bosch ends up doubling with Lewan.
However, because of the blitz the only thing Bosch making a very good play to recognize and pick up the charging LB does is send Green to one of the two unblocked guys, either the backside guy ripping down the LOS without thought of checking the QB or a linebacker sitting two yards deep without anyone trying to get him, because Nebraska's blitz has prevented anyone from moving to the second level.
Here is a power play. Nebraska loads up with eight in the box and one deep safety and blitzes.
A Nebraska linebacker ends up shooting the gap behind the Bosch pull and meets Green in the backfield.
Michigan loses two yards and has third and eleven.
Oh for pants' sake.
The offensive line is not in fact overwhelmed here; they are not actually involved because Nebraska's blitz is perfect to destroy the inverted veer.
Items Of Interest
All of this is an execution issue, sure. For a given definition of execution, this is an execution issue. Michigan's hyper-raw OL should be able to block this. They should be able to deal with Nebraska switching gaps and blazing LBs to the point of attack. They should be able to block Nebraska's maniacal run-oriented loaded box. They would do this, if only they could execute.
Except the last one. And the first one. And probably the second and third.
Either you believe that players can be put in positions they can succeed or players are expected to succeed in the positions they are put in. I am in the former camp. The last few Borges defenders are in the latter camp. This entire season Space Coyote has been gamely explaining what should have happened on failed play after failed play without any thought to how difficult what should have happened is.
Players do not exist in a vacuum. Joe Kerridge is trying to block a guy in acres of space and that guy has the jump on him because he knows Funchess is covered, and he knows what Michigan's running. I look at that and I think "Jesus, I do not want to be Joe Kerridge there."
I am admittedly working from a hand-waving feel on this, but it's no worse a feel than whatever Space Coyote has gotten from doing whatever he does with whatever team at a totally different level of competition. I say Michigan puts their players in a spot to work miracles or die, and that this is on both the overall structure of the offense and the predictability of playcalls based on formations and down and distance. Space Coyote makes certain concessions to not seem totally insane and then goes back to hammering the fact that it's all execution.
Kerridge was put in a spot to fail, and did. I'm looking at the play and saying I believe there is a small chance that Kerridge can make a tough play in space; the guys in the comments think that because Kerridge could hypothetically have made a play none of this goes back to the folks in charge.
These plays. The above plays are no-chancers for the offense, because Michigan is running into the teeth of a defense stacked to stop the run and blitzing. In UFR lingo they acquired sizeable rock-paper-scissors minuses. In compensation Michigan got two screens which both got large RPS plus numbers, but the number of downs thrown away in this game running at a Nebraska defense that seemed to be in Michigan's head was alarming. When I add it up, I am guessing things will come out highly negative, and then people will cluck at me about that.
I won't deny that things are more likely to get put in the negative bin there when you have fewer options because you're not good, but in my opinion running plays you suck at into stacked boxes is a bad idea. So is the continued deployment of Toussaint as a pass blocker on plays that take forever to develop. That, too, is an execution issue, but it is nuts to expect him to block guys now, and the offense would be better served if he was used in a pattern or replaced by a fullback or something. Instead… he is not.
But yeah yeah, the expectation is for the position.
Picture Pages: Resistance Is Futile, Your Plays Will Be Assimilated
As I'm going over the film here something is resonating that I read from Ace's VEQ last week.
I cannot tell you how many times in the last three years I've watched an opposing offense go for 50, 60, 70 yards on their first drive, kick a field goal, score a touchdown, flip field position, whatever, and then absolutely get downloaded by this defense. It happened just this last weekend at Illinois. Sometimes it takes more than one drive, some days it takes a half of football or so. But I, for example, watched Purdue experience some early success throwing little 12-15 yard out patterns beneath MSU's retreating zone cornerback on two third downs in quick succession to keep drives alive, and then the third time Purdue tried it, not only was the corner right there in man coverage, but there too was safety Isaiah Lewis flashing in front of the receiver and nearly collecting a pick-six. Stuff like that is a joy to watch.
That was the story of this game, as well. Michigan found snatches of success early, whereupon MSU adjusted and that was all she wrote. A play that finds success has been followed by a nothing play that MSU crushes with a creepy consistency so far. Without the context of MSU's stats this year it feels like Pat Narduzzi is the luckiest guy in the world for a while, and then it's like he's Doyle Brunson.
In one instance, it seems like it took MSU one play to assimilate something Michigan was doing. M debuted a run play that is basically power from the playside guard gussied up to look like inverted veer. The first instance of this sort of worked. The second did not. The yards were basically the same, but that's because Toussaint managed to evade a TFL on the second.
It's Michigan's first drive; they've hit a couple passes to Gallon to open up with 46 yards on their first two plays. They come out in a 2TE set featuring Paskorz and Butt with Funchess in the slot. Unusually for MSU, they flip a corner over Funchess. Both safeties are hanging out where they usually do: rolled up tight.
Butt will release. Lewan will block down on the playside end; Bosch will pull around. Since the end doesn't get an initial block and Michigan makes its mesh point look like an inverted veer, he reads that and hangs outside, creating a wide crease for Toussaint to explore.
The design basically works. Lewan turns his guy inside and the veer appearance means Bosch isn't seriously challenged by the DE, who is trying to maintain outside contain.
Meanwhile, Butt and Glasgow release immediately into the playside LBs. This gives Magnuson an impossible task on the other DL, but I think they figure that guy's not going to make a play on this play and that a significant percentage of the time he will get hung up on the other DL getting smoked. Either that or it's just another assignment screwup; in UFR I thought Bullough was more dangerous than the DT and passed on a minus.
By the time Toussaint gets the handoff there's a nice gap that is unfortunately being rapidly filled by that DT, but there's so much space that he can run away from it. Meanwhile, Funchess has come down and blocks… uh… Butt, kind of. He eventually does shove the corner on him back but that looks bizarre to me; seems like he should be carrying to the safety. In any case, gap is extant.
This is looking rather promising.
But MSU holds the damage down, as Calhoun comes off the Bosch block easily and spins Toussaint around, allowing the safety to come down and tackle after a modest gain.
Three yards is a win, I guess?
Items Of Interest
It's new, and shiny, and created a hole. Hoorah. This play uses Lewan's strength to bash open a hole and while it doesn't actually option a guy off it uses the threat of a veer to make Bosch's job considerably easier.
I still don't understand M centers shooting to the second level immediately despite guys basically over them. It happens with such consistency that it might actually be the plan, but it drives me nuts every time it happens. Here Michigan issues Magnuson a blocking assignment that is flatly impossible and sends Glasgow out immediately; meanwhile on the back side of the play Schofield and Paskorz do combo the end, getting him sealed away. You can see the cost in the linebacker blocks: Glasgow gets into Bullough and gets him moving hard, providing a nice cutback lane… that the back cannot take because there's a DL flowing down the line. Meanwhile Allen gets playside of Schofield and is filling that hole.
To me it seems like you'd want to reverse this: shoot Schofield out immediately and say damn the backside end while getting that DT sealed away. It seems like whenever a M C or G ignores a nose tackle and gives someone else on the line a difficult task it results in doom, but it's happening almost all the time, and this doesn't seem like rocket science. The guy is in alignment X against you, you chip him so your partner can get around.
Michigan isn't doing this with a regularity that makes me think it's intentional, and the results are underwhelming. FMK: goofy assignments or guys who can't execute rule one of zone running.
Tight end blocking again an issue. Butt's block here gets hardly any motion and does allow the LB to slide off, or would if Funchess didn't add himself into the equation. Funchess, meanwhile, brings his corner into the fray and since the general rule of running when you suck at it (and probably even when you don't) is that most blocks are just opportunities to screw up a play, that is a negative.
I know what Funchess is thinking here, because Michigan would run this again against a more typical MSU D:
His job is to go get that slot LB. Here his job is to… run the corner off or something, go bash the safety, but he screws it up, probably because Michigan was prepping him to run it against a gray area LB instead of a press corner.
MSU's alignment throws this off. Compare the screenshot right above with the presnap setup here:
Note the relation of the LB Butt is going for relative to himself. On this play, he's even; on the other play he's a player and a half inside of him. Much easier angle for Butt, more likely there's a gap away from the DE and a nice gain. That's why the linebacker blocks here don't really get Fitz a hole he clearly expects to be outside. (And maybe why Michigan's okay with leaving the DT: they expected a different D.)
The download. The next time Michigan ran this they got the above formation. Aaaaand:
Slot LB rips down, Funchess has no shot, Toussaint does well to bounce around it and gets eaten by a safety after a similar gain. Is this sheer luck? On some level, sure. But the creepy mind-reading tendencies of the MSU defense are so consistent that it seems like something more. Could Narduzzi have executed this inference chain?
- Michigan has a new run play on which Funchess accidentally doubled a LB in a defense we don't run much.
- He's probably supposed to block the slot LB in our usual stuff.
- It's first and ten from the nine, probably a run.
- If it's the new toy, blitz slot LB.
I wouldn't put it past him. Seems hard given the chaos of football but if you're a DC with tons of experience and have a feel for this live, well, you might be quite good at your job.

The ones who waited all night for him to call, only to check your cell phone the next morning and be disappointed. The ones who made it through that bitter break up, dried your own tears, and moved on with your life, only to have him walk back in it months later like nothing ever happened. Those of you who cried on the first day you talked again because you knew exactly where this phone call was going. The ones who listened to him say, "I only want to be your friend", one day, then listened to him say that he loves and misses you, and the next when he doesn't want to be anything at all. Here's to the ones that took him back, hoping that maybe this time, he was different, hoping that maybe people really do change.
We listened to our friends tell us that we were stupid for even thinking about giving him another chance, got crap from our parents, and even snuck around to see him even for a while. We went through the great stage with no fights all over again. We started this out thinking it would be just friends, and ended up falling in love with him again. We wanted nothing more in the world than to hear him tell us he loved us too, that even though things were bad in the past, they would be different this time. And when we finally heard it, it was like we were dreaming. This is for us.
Here's to the ones who believed what he said, sat around all over again waiting for a phone call that might come in a few hours, or a few days. Here's for the tears cried and dried all over again. We wanted so desperately to believe that he was really busy, he couldn't possibly call us at that moment, or even that he fell asleep early. We trained ourselves to believe the lies because we wanted to believe we had found the one for us. We learned to SETTLE for someone who didn't treat us the way we should be treated.
Here's for the ones who did their hair and make up and put on their prettiest everything, only to hear him say that he couldn't see us today. The ones who never believed it when people told us there might be someone else. We just couldn't believe that he could do this to us again. This is for those great girls, who loved him more than words can say, and took him back no matter what happened last time because they couldn't bear to look back on their lives one day and wonder "what if".
This is for the girls that stayed up all night long listening to him whine about an ex girlfriend who cheated on him, and cried during the entire conversation. The ones who hoped he would realize that he deserved better, that he deserved us. When he said that he loved you, but he was in love with her, he didn't mean it. This is for the ones that held on to something that was never there to begin with. This is for us girls, who somehow managed to get him to forget about her, and get him to tell us that he was in love with us again, only to have him tell us three weeks later that "You're just not the one for me." or maybe, "things were going too fast, I'm just not ready." (Then later on find out he has a damn girlfriend already.)
Here's to the girls who couldn't cry to their friends because of how stupid they felt. The ones who held it all in when things came crumbling to pieces again. This is for the ones who couldn't bear to even tell their mom what was going on, for fear of an "I told you so." The ones that could just TELL that they had made a mistake ever allowing him into their hearts, their beds, and their dreams again. We knew that we deserved better the entire time, that we deserved a guy who would call when he said he was going to, one that would come see us when ever he got the chance, one that would really care about us. We just wanted the one that we loved like that. Here's for the ones that FINALLY realized that he never gave one thought about them. Here's for the time that he took to waste, breaking your heart … again.
This is for those days spent trying to hold back the tears, and the tears that turned into anger, then disappointment. Here's for us girls who finally realized that we deserve better. This is for those confusing days, when you miss him,and want nothing more than to hear his voice, or feel his arms around your waist. Stay strong, and remember that relationships are like broken glass,sometimes it's better to leave it alone rather than try to put the pieces back together and get hurt all over again.
Remember the times you cried, and how long it took you to even be able to look at another guy like that. When your song comes on the radio, turn the station. When the day comes that he realizes what a mistake he made and tries calling, turn your phone off. When he tries coming to your house, don't answer the door.
Think of all the broken promises, and the lies, the manipulation and the tears, the wasted moments and staying up all night wondering where the HELL he was. Think of how your heart used to jump when your phone would vibrate in the middle of the night. Think of how it fell to your stomach when you saw it wasn't him, and realized that once again, he hadn't called when he said he was going to. Think of how you excitedly enter the train station just so you can go to the place you were about to meet in time only to find out that he'll be late for an hour or so. Think of how you spend the day looking for a perfect gift that he would really love only to hear him say "The gift was okay but you could have given me something better". Think of how many days you skipped your lunch breaks just so you could give him the gift he wants for his birthday or for Christmas only to hear him say I'm sorry babe, I enjoyed doing this and that for 8 straight hours with the boys. I'm broke. Can I just give a kiss? Think of the time you spent thinking what you can do to make him happy only to find out he is busy spending his time thinking of strategies he should do beat his effin' computer playmates. Think of how he stole your youth and how he made you feel that you are his possession. Think of the long hours you dolled yourself up only to catch him look at other girls.
Think of how he called you selfish, spoiled brat and self-centered after all the things you've done, after all the sacrifices.
He might never feel your pain. He might never see the tears behind your nags. He might never notice the long hours you spent to make him happy. He might never notice a loving girlfriend behind that jealous girl you are. He might never see how beautiful and incomparable you are. He might never see your efforts. He might never feel how your stomach will ache after long hours of not having a meal because you want to give him something he'll appreciate. He might never see the smile behind your cruel complains. He might never see the sweet girlfriend behind your stressful words. He might never see the proud girlfriend behind your loud mouth. He might never see these things. He might never see these things he abandoned with just a single text message, with just a simple "I quit. I'm tired. Goodbye. I love you". If that is love then all people might as well leave each other and live alone. Goodbye but I love you? Does it make sense?
One day, you'll find a guy who will worth all the tears, but he won't make you cry. You may think that you'll never care about someone like you did to that guy that you always run back to, but you will. You may think you'll never going to find a guy who will challenge you the way he did, but you will, and the only difference is he'll challenge you to bring the loving girl back. Someday you'll find your own hero. He may not be as good-looking as the guy you always run back to but he will surely show you how beautiful of a person he can be to a beautiful person you are. Someday you'll meet someone who will save you from that SAME GUY. Someday that SAME GUY'S kisses (even if it was your first) will just be plain kisses, no feelings, no love. Someday you'll meet a guy who will make things right and will give you the signal that the life as you know it ends. Someday God will give you the guy who will not only compensate your efforts but will make you feel you your efforts are enough and that you deserve more. Someday a guy who will understand your pain will come. Someday you'll see how wonderful you are. Someday you'll realize that the guy you always run back to is nothing but plain illusions of your young heart. That SAME GUY might be your first but what's important is the man who will be with you all throughout and at the END, and the man who will be your prince charming in your own fairy tale. YEAH, It's going to hurt like hell, and it will take sometime to heal, but the point is, IT WILL HEAL. Yes, it will heal.

60 Things Guys Should Know About Girls:
1. Girls hate it when guys say perverted things.
2. Girls like to be told that they're beautiful, rather than hot, pretty, cute, or sexy. It just gives more meaning.
3. Girls love to feel special, even though they might not show it.
4. Girls talk about everything with their girlfriends. So that means, you're possibly 90% of their conversation. And believe me, trash talking takes up most of it, unless you're a Greek god, which you're not.
5. When girls are online, they want the guy to instant message them first, and they literally burn up inside when they're not messaged. Of course, when they are messaged, they play it all cool and go "oh, hey" as if they just discovered your message.
6. Girls have a thing for guys who dress GQ.
7. Girls love it when guys are over 6 feet.
8. Girls find it awfully attractive when guys wear just a white t-shirt and jeans and yet they happen to look awesome in it.
9. Remember. Sense of humor. Girls love guys who can make them laugh.
10. Girls hate guys with bad hygiene. So put on that deodorant and clip those nails!
11. Girls love guys who plays sports.
12. Girls love it when a guy pulls them close by the waist.
13. Girls go crazy when a guy smells good.
14. Girls hate cocky guys.
15. Usually, when a girl is sarcastically mean to you, it means they're attracted to you, but are afraid that they'll be showing too much.
16. A kiss on the hand with the right timing can be a real turn-on.
17. Girls have a thing for guys who sport blazers with a destroyed tee underneath.
18. Girls have a thing for guys who have messy sexy hair.
19. Some girls can think about their crushes for 18+ hours straight. No exaggeration.
20. When a guy says something really sentimental, girls will remember it forever.
21. The smallest gestures, the smallest stares, and the smallest statements could make a girl's year. No joke.
22. Girls get embarrassed easily, even if guys don't know what the hell just happened.
23. Girls daydream about their crushes. Like getting married, going on dates, kissing, etc. They just don't show it.
24. Girls hate cheaters.
25. Guys who can sing or dance are a major turn on.
26. Guitarists are sexy.
27. When a girl is upset and wants you to listen, she wants you to listen. Don't give her advice unless she asks for it.
28. When a girl is crying, she feels a lot safer if you pull her close and tell her that everything is going to be alright.
29. Girls love it when guys say their name.
30. Girls don't like short tempered guys.
31. Sometimes girls just wish that guys would notice when they get a new haircut or if they're wearing eyeliner.
32. When a girl calls you her loser or her dork, it usually means she's attracted to you.
33. Girls find it a lot more romantic if you just fall asleep with them holding them with your arms rather than having a night of hot kinky sex.
34. Girls will never say I love you unless you say it first. But that doesn't mean she doesn't want to scream it from the top of her lungs.
35. Girls love confidence.
36. Girls don't like rock-hard guys. They like to know that guys can have a sensitive side too.
37. There comes a time when girls have needs too. Enough said.
38. A girl will cry over you a lot more than you think.
39. A girl's wounds can last a while. And when I say a while, I mean a while.
40. Girls hate guys who smell bad.
41. When a girl cooks for you, you know you mean a lot to her.
42. Girls don't like it when you think other women are hot and say it so. It can lower our self-esteem.
43. Eyeliner is a girl's essential product. Don't ever try to take it away from her.
44. Girls hate it, absolutely hate it, when guys don't keep their promises. It throws them over the top.
45. Every girl fantasizes about her wedding. Her dress, her flowers, her shoes, her hair. More than you think.
46. Girls hate it when other guys flirt. Yet they flirt themselves too. Ah, the beauty of irony.
47. Girls will save instant message conversations when they like a guy.
48. A phone call, a text message, or a single Hershey's kiss will mean a lot more than a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates on her birthday.
49. Every girl think she's pretty in one way or another. They just won't admit it.
50. Girls are very self-conscious when it comes to their looks. No makeup is a very sensitive topic to them
51. Never ever flirt with her sibling or best friend. There's this thing called boundaries that actually exist. If you ever do, prepare to die or lose her forever.
52. Be frank about things. Guys are not the only ones who are complicated.
53. Getting a girl jealous might be cute but deep inside they are getting hurt.
54. When you're replying to a girl's text message without a smiley continuously, it will give her an idea that you are not interested talking to her. Worse, give her an idea something's up.
55. Girls love it when a guy pulls her from behind and plants a kiss on her.
56. Girls hate it when guys just stare at them. Talk to her once in awhile.
57. What's sexier than a guy playing the guitar? Pianists.
58. Don't ever compare her to any other female. That would make her more self-conscious.
59. Tell her you love her…
60. And actually mean it.

Art Group: Hawkman
- Written by SuperginraiX on Tuesday, June 09 2009 and posted in Features
This week, the Art Group tackled Hawkman.
He carries a big mace and it was mostly a bad idea.
Still, we got some pretty art out of the deal so not a huge loss!
Welcome to the Art Group's ninth front page gallery on the Outhouse! If you want to know the deal, we're a group of artists that chooses a certain comic book related topic every week and then do our best to bring that subject to life in our own unique ways.
We're always looking for new contributors to join our community so if you want to join or just want to talk to us, our thread is located right here.
This week, we worked on DC Comic's Hawkman. Much of the artwork below should be clickable so enlarge it to full size. Enjoy!
Our first entry was back to Shutupyourface! He delivered to pieces in excited fashion.
Greg showed up next and delivered this bit of justice.
Derm came by a bit later for his entry.
And we finished with a piece by Jess Nukem.
And that was DC's Hawkman by the Art Group! Tune in next week when we'll be bringing you Brother Voodoo! Check out the thread for more off topic pieces and contribute if you're feeling creative!
The Outhouse is sponsored this week by Late Nite Draw. Recently featured on ComicsAlliances' Best Art Ever, he is a Chicago-based commissioned artist with a self-published Digital+Print one-shot coming out in October about the abominable snowman called ABOBAMANIMABBLE, and is also available for commissions. Check out some amazing art by clicking here or by clicking the banner at the top, and support the people who support The Outhouse.

Note: while you are welcome to speak your mind freely on any topic, we do ask that you keep discussion civil between each other. Nasty personal attacks against other commenters is strongly discouraged. Thanks!
About the Author - SuperginraiX
SuperginraiX is the biggest sap on The Outhousers' payroll (wait, we get paid?). He reads every issue of every crappy Marvel crossover so you don't have to. Whats worse is that he pays for his books, thus condoning Marvel's behavior. If The Outhouse cared for his well being at all, they'd try and get him into some sort of rehab center. But, alas, none of us even know how to say his name. For a good time, ask Super why Captian America jumped off the Helicarrier in Fear Itself. Super lives in the frozen wastland that is Minnesota with 15% of the state's population living under his roof: a wife he makes wear an Optimus Prime mask, two gremlins, and his mother-in-law.

This is really quite good and quite impressive. Follow meringue recipe exactly. Use wire whip attachment on mixer if you have it. Bake at 278 degrees in convection oven and use two pans. I love Grand Marnier but did not care for it in this recipe. Next time, I will use a strawberry sauce. Use about 2/3 cup fruit in each pavlova. I used pineapple, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and kiwi. For 4th of July, you could use just raspberries or strawberries and blueberries. Do top with whip cream - I used canned light whip cream.
Norman A. Plate
These light, sweet meringue clouds with fresh fruit filling are named after the Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova. The dessert originated in Australia and New Zealand, where numerous variations make it as common as apple pie is in the United States. Jane Shapton adapted this classic from a recipe her parents brought back from a recent trip.

This magnificent Victorian mansion was built in 1927 by William and Martha Chapman. Their architect visited England to study Tudor manor houses. In 1941 at a famous Christmas Party, the Von Trapp family sang in the great hall. After Martha's death in 1960, the mansion was used as a seminary and drug rehabilitation center. After that it was vacant, vandalized, burned, and slated for demolition. Thanks to the Heritage Conservancy, this magnificent structure was saved and completely rehabilitated. Today, it houses the Conservancy's offices and is rented for special events.
Henry Mercer (1856-1930) built Fonthill as his home between 1908 and 1912. The concrete castle boasts 44 rooms, 18 fireplaces, and more than 200 windows of varying size and shape.

Suns' Goran Dragic, Grizzlies' Mike Conley Are Barely Recognizable on Series of Personalized Debit Cards
TEAMS: Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Royals, Washington Nationals, Toronto Raptors
From NESN:
Raise your hand if you recognize the man in the photo above. It's OK, we didn't either.
That's Suns point guard Goran Dragic, who appears on a recently released series of personalized debit cards along with Grizzlies counterpart Mike Conley. Athletes endorsing seemingly random products is certainly nothing new, but it appears that the card manufacturer, Card.com, does not have rights to use NBA team colors or logos.
So, the final result is a series of prepaid debit cards featuring two players in street clothes that very few fans outside of the respective cities would be able to pick out of a crowd.
The website also features cards bearing the likenesses of such retired athletes as Brett Favre, Richard Petty and Clyde Drexler — with all team logos removed — but Dragic and Conley are by far the most obscure selections. Check out some more options starring the young ballers in the photos below.
Thats what I want, a picture of someone else on my card lmao
For real! I'd rather have my own pic on my card. If you can't get the licensing to team logos and colors then don't bother. Really, what did they do to Drexler's pic? White out the team logo and name. Ridiculous!

Taser Axon system records everything cops see
When someone accuses cops of doing something wrong, it's usually their word against the cops. But not so if the cop happened to be wearing the Taser Axon on-officer recording system.
Essentially, the Axon is a head-mounted camera that captures everything that the officer sees. This is great because it'll collect perfect evidence of everything they see, making court cases much more cut and dry as to what exactly happened. The trick will just be getting cops to wear them, which might not be too easy. But in any case, it'd make Cops a lot more interesting.

China's Jianghuai Automobile Co., Ltd., unveiled its Vision II concept car at the Beijing Auto Show. Again. As its name suggests, this is the second iteration of the swoopy sedan. It was first shown at the 2005 Beijing Auto Show as the Vision in a more conservative dark red paintjob, sporting a Nissan-esque grille. Photos after the jump.
The Vision II makes its 2006 return with a much more vivacious color and more original grille design. Also notice how the car's logo has been re-designed to attract attention from fewer attorneys.
More photos of Vision I and II after the jump.

That last post got me thinking about Bi men/masculine identified bi people and how I don't follow enough of them
So far I have as bi guy tumblr users
Fliponymous/Patrick Richards Fink
edited to add angrybisexual
who is awesome and I'm a doofus for forgetting
Edited to add: Stynger Photography
and maybe Ritchandfamous? But I don't know if ze identifies as male/masculine anymore.
Anyone I'm missing? I'm looking for bi guys who post stuff about theory and oppression and stuff and I wandered into the "bi guys" tag and well that was a big porn filled NOPE.
But yeah those guys (esp Revolutionary Brute, he's new to tumblr but has written some good stuff, Maria/tearingdownthatfence might want to add some of it to your best of bi tumblr stuff maybe espeacially since it's male bisexual stuff?) are good and worth a follow.

I have seen this approximation used several times, and it seemed to be true for me on my last bulk. Does this also apply to calves? I am trying to put on 25 more pounds by June, will this add an inch+ to my chopsticks?

I have seen this approximation used several times, and it seemed to be true for me on my last bulk. Does this also apply to calves? I am trying to put on 25 more pounds by June, will this add an inch+ to my chopsticks?
Hopefully, although I guess that depends on your genetics and your training. My calves outgrow my arms by a long way, but I know some people have awful trouble trying to get their calves to grow.
The best way is to work them hard in the way that works best for you and see!
my arms grew about 2" with maybe 10-15lbs difference, durring my arm growing days so its definatly not absoulute.
It's a decent rule of thumb.
That seems a bit too simplistic to me. I think it depends on your training and your genetics. After all, someone could add 20 lbs of fat and have most of it carried in the abdominals. Its really up to your genetic makeup where you lose or add weight more quickly than other areas. Metabolism and genetics, along with your training and nutrition seem by far too complicated to sum it up in such a general rule to go by.
Calves seem like they would grow a little bit faster than arms. At least, I hope they would.
Though this does depend on genetics as well. I've seen some people with calves that look like a bone while my calves are quite large for my size/weight.
I gained 60 lbs and added just over 2 inches on my arms. That's only 1 inch per 30 lbs gained. However, I focused much of my effort on getting stronger in the power lifts, not necessarily training for size. How you train and what you focus on makes a big difference.
i fell way short of my goal getting them to be 20" in the year 2000. Now im just trying to get them to 18" by 2008
every one here will probably laugh at me and say i over trained them, but there were days at the gym i would stay for 5 hours working on bi's, tri's and delts (should have hit the delts more though) but the amazing thing was that they grew fast during that time. and i have been natural all my life
So at a bodyweight of 150 lbs you had 17 inch arms (naturally)? And put in 5 hour workouts for them to boot?
Maybe they were 17 inches immediately after one of those 5 hour workouts....To put your claim in perspective here's something to consider. If arms are 17 inches cold, then after a grueling workout they should be around 19 or close. This would put them around the same size as Arnold's when he was at a bodyweight of 240 and winning Mr. Olympia titles.
You must have the world's best genetics.
no i have the worlds best workouts *sarcasim = sarcasim*
pumped they were 1/2" bigger.
bah, no i never curl in a squat rack, that is made for leg work, yes it annoys me to when people curl in a squat rack cause there to lazy to pick the bar up off the floor.
or that is one tuff skinny dude i wouldnt mess with if he's curlin the weight im squating with.
i used to say "if you cant lift the weight thats on the bar, better ask someone if you can take it off."

In this wretched and dark place,
it's the only world I can show my face.
Ashamed of my love,
A past full of disgrace.
And yet all I want is to see your face.
But it's something I've longed to
Why do I love you so?
These crazy feelings they need to go.
You have my heart racing like i need to show,
my love for you but I just really don't know
how I love you so.
It's been a long wild trip,
but this I must rip.
And thats you from my heart
Yea that'd be a better start.
But here comes that thing again
you make me want to sing and then
You see right through me
do you know what you do to me
All these things I've done you see
Fueling my insanity.
Make me want to fall apart,
Spill knowledge from this broken heart.
All I ever wanted was to be set free,
Can you really not see all of what you've done to me?

A Step Closer to TIBET!
July 25, 2013 in General
I am glad to announce that 90% of the preparation for the Chengdu-Tibet trip is done, including travel insurance, China Visa as well as tour agency that will manage our trip at Tibet. The only thing left out now is, changing money (the rate is not good now!) and getting permission from the company to take 12 working days off. Me and LimCM will spend 17 days at China where the first three days will be at Chengdu and followed by 14 days at Tibet. Awesome!

Eccleston's Antigone!
Doesn't it seem like quite a while since we've seen or heard anything from Christopher Eccleston? The actor appears in dramas all over television and then seems to jump back into the private life that he rightly savours.
And why not? It reflects the quiet dignity that he always carries with him.
But if you're eager to see him in the flesh (not as a Ganger duplicate before you get excited) then you will be pleased to know that he'll be treading the boards in the National Theatre in a revival of Sophocles' Antigone.
Appearing opposite Jodie Whittaker, Eccleston will be taking on the part of Creon, whose ill advised actions lead to his war ravaged city being polluted by the Gods and therefore sealing his fate and his future.
Anyone who knows the work of Christopher Eccleston knows that he is one powerful actor and will be even more assertive and scene stealing in a live production.
Antigone is due to on 30th May 2012 at the National Theatre Oliver as part of the Travelex £12 season. It will be directed by Polly Findlay and will surely be an enthralling evening for everyone that attends.
Keep up to date with production news and ticket prices by visiting the National Theatre's website.
One Response to Eccleston's Antigone!
Just where have you been for the last seven years?
Christopher has been in three films, an International Emmy award winning show, a fantastic drama called "The Shadow Line" and two years ago stared alongside Gillian Anderson in Ibsen's "A Doll's House" at the Donmar Warehouse!

TEAMS: Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Penguins, New Jersey Devils
TEAMS: Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Penguins, New Jersey Devils
Ottawa was a feel good story in the first quarter of the season as they started to pile up some wins with some very intriguing pieces which made bettors happy. The strange thing with injuries is there are times where you just do not see it coming. First, there was Jason Spezza, who had back surgery and MAY be back for the end of the regular season. Now, there is Erik Karlsson, who will have Achilles surgery after it was lacerated by Matt Cookeof the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night. The Ottawa Senators have now lost two of their leading scorers and quite frankly only consistent point producers from a fantasy hockey and bettor standpoint. When a team is entrenched in the playoff mix a quarter of the way through a season, one has to think they will be in it for the long haul. However, in the shortened year, things have a way of turning fast. Craig Anderson gave up four goals tonight and Ottawa looked like the up and down Ottawa team from the last campaign. ...

Which is the best Hardcover and End Sheets (Pro Line) for a Fashion Photography Book!!!!!
Hey guys well tbh i'm minutes away from ordering my 2nd blurb book, so excited cos the 1st one was so amazing and with all the new upgrades which i never had before with pro line my heart is having palpitations. Anyways i'm needing some advice my main themes are fashion photography. The front cover is white with a bright blue and pink coloured fashion image centre frame with small black writing to the top and bottom of the cover and on the back is an full frame image of a woman straddling a tree (Dont ask me why, well just to show youth and rebellion lol….but not the point). Now in my basket already i have this with Pro Line Pearl Photo paper, Pro Line Light Grey End sheets and the Oatmeal linen. I absolutely love them all. However i'm not sure whether the hardcover and end sheets will suit my book and complement the front cover and images inside cos they are quite gritty some of the photographs inside. Because i could easily go with the black and charcoal end sheet and hardcover.
Would really appreciate the help i know its personal preference but on the other hand it can be seen on a professional and business basis and needs to look right.
I think this is the link to my book hope you guys like it anyways.

Leave it to Farrah Abraham to come up with a parenting method that makes us want to go take a shower. The Teen Mom has been making headlines lately for her new porn star venture, Backdoor Teen Mom. Fortunately daughter Sophia is too young to read any of those headlines.
But she won't be forever ... and Farrah has already come up with the "perfect" way to introduce the little girl to mom's porn career. Have a barf bag handy? You're going to need it.
The Teen Mom did a radio interview recently and revealed she's already saved a copy of the Vivid Entertainment flick for her daughter:
I have, like, a baby box for her ... and basically it has all the DVDs of Teen Mom and it has my book and of course my video ...
And here all I've saved in my daughter's baby box is her first lock of hair and her coming home outfit. Sigh.
More from The Stir: Farrah Abraham's Sex Tape Co-Star Reveals Truth About Her 'Pregnancy'
As for when Pandora Farrah will open up this box, she had this to say:
When she's around that 13/14, you know, gets on her period and is all "Ooh, I kinda wanna boyfriend" I think that's when ... that's the year to be like, "Look, Soph."
Oh. My. God.
Talking to your kids about sex when they're teens? Yes, absolutely, you must do this. Actually, you need to start even younger. Giving them your sex tape? That's crossing the line just a weeeeeee bit.
Farrah says she's all about being open and honest with Sophia. I respect honest parents. But there's such a thing as too much honesty.
Parents, might I remind you that your kids are your kids, not your friends?
More From The Stir: Kailyn Lowry Calls Farrah Abraham Out for the Hypocrite She Is
There are some lines that just shouldn't be crossed, for both of your sakes.
I don't want to picture my parents having sex. They don't want to picture me having sex. It's not being prudish; it's just about having boundaries.
You might tell your girlfriends about your sexual exploits, but your kids really don't need all the dirty details. Just a simple admission that you had premarital sex can be enough for an honest discussion about sex and birth control.
Leave the sex tapes out of it.
Do you think Farrah's crossing a line here? Should her daughter be given a copy of mom's sex tape?
Image via Farrah Abraham/Twitter
then she will wander why her daughter ends up pregnant at an early age. you cant expose them to all that sexual stuff at an early age. IF i had a video like this and my child came to even at the age of 18 and asked to see it i would say no. plus, why would you want your daughter to see that sex with out a condom and with a relationship is ok? i know i wont be able to stop by children from having premaritail sex BUT i can educate them to be with some one whom they care about and DEF to use a condom. that just bothers me. i think porn needs to more condom friendly. they should encourage people to use them then maybe the STD and pregnancies would go down.
thanks lisakphillips i did just imagine my mom getting it in the pooper HAHAHAHAHA
Thats considered child abuse if she is under 18.. dumb ass should have her child takena away for that statement alone
Oh wow! and she thought her mom was crazy! now we know why look what she raised..im sorry but her daughter doesnt need that image of her mother being a whore. Next episode.. Grandma Farrah to be continued.....
Ugh sometimes i wonder! I WOULD NOT WANT TO SEE MY PARENTS HAVING SEX! IT WILL SCAR HER FOR LIFE! LOL And we had the sex talk when I was like in the thrid grade.....not 13 or 14...she needs to take a step back and look at what she is going to do to her daughter!
I can't believe she would ever even consider showing her daughter her porn! It's just not right and i'm sure Sophia would never want to see her own mother in a porn. She needs some counciling or something for even thinking this. She said she was going to show it to her at 13 or 14, i'm sorry Farrah but it's illegal to show a kid porn, whether the parent was in the porn or not. Showing Sophia her book and videos from Teen Mom is fine, but showing her a porn, especially at a young age is just wrong. I sure hope Farrah grows up soon and understands how to take care of a child, the right way. If not, she should not be allowed to have her.

The introduction of contraband into state prisons is a serious violation of state law and will not be tolerated by the Tennessee Department of Correction. Visiting offenders in state prisons is a privilege. Visitors who abuse this privilege by bringing or attempting to bring contraband inside our facilities will be prosecuted. Employees discovered introducing contraband into state prisons face termination and criminal prosecution for violating the laws they have sworn to uphold.
The following is a list of contraband arrests in August, 2014:
Northeast Correctional Complex visitor Shannon Pratt was arrested by the Johnson County Sheriff's Department and charged with introduction of contraband into a penal facility (19.6 grams marijuana, 18.1 grams marijuana.)

On his radio and television shows, Sean Hannity again claimed that "[n]o other speaker had" a military plane "before" Nancy Pelosi and that she is the "first speaker to ever have that plane." In fact, following 9-11, the House sergeant-at-arms, the Defense Department, and the White House agreed that military planes should be made available to the speaker of the House for national security reasons, and the first speaker to use such a plane was Dennis Hastert in 2001.
Discussing 1980 photos of President-elect Barack Obama published in Time, Sean Hannity asked, "[W]hy didn't we see these pictures beforehand?" and "You think the media maybe thought, well, it might not hurt -- it might not help Barack Obama?" Similarly, Fox News hosts asked, "Was Time magazine sitting on these photos until after the election?" In fact, according to Time, the photographer, Lisa Jack, a fellow student of Obama's at the time and now a psychologist, "put the negatives in a safety-deposit box, so that they could not be used until after the election."
For the second day in a row, Sean Hannity stated on his radio show that he was presenting an award to Media Matters: "[A]s we announced yesterday on the program, our first annual Left Wing Obamamania Media Sleaze PC Police Award has gone to the group Media Matters." Hannity originally announced this award hours after Media Matters named him the Misinformer of the Year.
Loading the player reg...
Hours after Media Matters named Sean Hannity its Misinformer of the Year, Hannity announced on his radio show that Media Matters was the "winner" of "our first-ever Left-Wing Obamamania Media Propaganda Sleaze Award." He added: "Now, this award goes to the group or the person that does more lying and smearing than your average left-wing Obamamania media supporter."
The Politico reported that President-elect Barack Obama "announced he would delay the release of an internal review about contacts between his aides and Blagojevich's office until next week," but did not report that Obama said that while the review was complete, "The U.S. attorney's office asked us to hold off releasing those [findings] for a week." Despite Obama's explanation, Sean Hannity asked: "Why can't we get it out this week?"
On his radio show, Sean Hannity complained of Sen. Ted Stevens' speedy trial on corruption charges, contrasting it with Rep. William Jefferson's case, saying that "justice moves at lightning speed" for Republicans like Stevens. Hannity added, "Not only do you get indicted, you get tried, you get convicted in record time, but the Justice Department moves so fast, it's like some kind of national emergency." But Hannity did not note that Stevens and his attorneys reportedly requested a speedy trial following his indictment so that Stevens could "clear his name" before Election Day.
On his radio and television programs, Sean Hannity falsely suggested that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's use of a military jet for transportation was unprecedented. In fact, following the September 11 terrorist attacks, the House sergeant-at-arms, the Defense Department, and the White House agreed that military planes should be made available to the speaker of the House for national security reasons, and the first speaker to use such a plane was Dennis Hastert (R-IL) in 2001.
Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh continue to suggest that President-elect Barack Obama is to blame for the decline in the stock market, referring to the state of the stock market as an "Obama recession." In fact, analysts have refuted the proposition that the market decline has anything to do with anticipation of Obama's presidency.
Numerous conservative radio hosts, including Chris Baker, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Jim Quinn, Michael Savage and Brian Sussman, echoed the false claim, originating on the Drudge Report, that Sen. Barack Obama said in a 2001 interview that he regretted that the Supreme Court has not addressed the redistribution of wealth. In fact, the "traged[y]" Obama identified during the interview was that the civil rights movement "became so court-focused" in trying to bring about political and economic justice.
On his radio show, Sean Hannity played a cropped version of recent comments by Sen. Hillary Clinton, which included her praise of Gov. Sarah Palin's debate performance but excluded the portions of her comments praising Sen. Joe Biden's debate performance and asserting that "[t]he Obama-Biden ticket" is "better for America" than the "McCain-Palin ticket." Hannity then stated: "I just had to play that 'cause you just know the Clintons are just -- why do I bet, and this is just a guess on my part, that Hillary and Bill [Clinton] go in there, and they vote for John McCain? I just know it."
On his radio show, Sean Hannity did not challenge Sen. John McCain's false claim during an interview that Alaska "provides 20 percent of America's energy requirements." In fact, according to the most recent figures of the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Alaska is responsible for "just 3.5 percent of the country's domestic energy production," and only 2.4 percent of the energy the U.S. consumes.
Calling into Sean Hannity's radio show, Mark Levin said of the National Organization for Women: "It's not the National Organization of Liberal Women. It's the National Organization of Ugly Women." Moments later, after Hannity stated, "[a]pparently [Sen. Barack] Obama took a shot at me again," Levin responded, "Obama's obsessed with you. ... Maybe he's attracted to you."
On his radio show, Sean Hannity falsely asserted that Sen. Barack Obama had "openly complained about 'white folks' greed.' " Hannity played a clip from the audiobook version of Obama's memoir in which Obama says, "White folks' greed runs a world in need." However, the clip is taken from a passage in which Obama is quoting from a sermon by Rev. Jeremiah Wright. In fact, Hannity himself acknowledged as much on Hannity & Colmes in March, saying, "Even the 'Audacity of Hope' speech or sermon had, you know, 'white greed' in there."
On The Sean Hannity Show, Newt Gingrich said of Sen. Barack Obama's speech in Berlin: "I think saying that you are the -- a citizen of the world, talking to 200,000 Germans is very dangerous because the average American does not want to elect a president of the world." In fact, Obama referred to himself in the Berlin speech as "a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world." Further, he is not the first U.S. public official to refer to himself as a "citizen of the world"; President Reagan did so in a June 1982 speech to the United Nations.
On his radio show, Sean Hannity said that Sen. Barack Obama "can't point to a single instance in which President Bush or McCain or Karl Rove or Sean Hannity or talk radio or any other major Republican has made an issue of Obama's race." In fact, Hannity asserted on the March 2 edition of Hannity's America: "As more is learned about Barack Obama's positions, his past, and his affiliations, it seems that the 'change' candidate has all the same problems with race as those before him," and later added, "It's only fair to ask: Do the Obamas have a race problem of their own?" Media Matters has also documented numerous examples of other radio and TV personalities making "an issue of Obama's race."

Chapter 14
Smallbore Target Rifle – Prone and 3 Position Shooting
Smallbore Rifle shooting is carried out using .22LR single shot rifles specially designed for target shooting with aperture 'iron' sights. Smallbore is practiced indoors at 25 yards and occasionally at 15, or 20 yards, and outdoors at 50 yards, 50 metres or 100 yards.
The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) recognises two international competitions: a) Prone – competitions comprise 60 shots prone at 50m; and b) 3 Position – competitions comprise 3 x 40 shots (Men), and 3 x 20 shots (Women) shot, respectively, prone, standing, kneeling at 50m.
Prone shooting has the largest following in the UK and is usually the position in which the beginner starts the discipline, unless they have started with 10m Air Rifle, which is shot standing.
Rifles and Ammunition
For 3 Position shooting, the target rifles have fully adjustable stocks, allowing the shooter to reposition the drop of the butt plate, height of the comb, and even angle of the cheekpiece.
The Smallbore rifles have a maximum overall weight of 8kg for men and 6.5kg for women.
Ranges and Targets
As discussed, Smallbore is shoot indoors at 15, 20 and 25 yards, and outdoors at 50 yards, 50 metres and 100 yards.
In the rifle events competitors shot at 10-ring targets. Scores range from one point for hitting the outside zone, to 10 for a hit in the 10 ring. If a shot hits the line between two zones, the higher score is awarded. In the international events at 50m there is a qualifying round and then, in the final, the 10 rings on the target are sub-divided into 10 score zones, with the highest score for a shot 10.9. The final round and qualifying scores are added together to determine the winner.
Besides the Smallbore rifle, you will need a 'single-point' target sling that goes around your upper arm and attaches to the fore-end of the rifle.
You will need a simple spotting scope with stand, glove and shooting coat, a mat and most important, eye and ear protection. In addition, you will need a timer, scorecards and a pencil/pen to record your scores. However, most clubs have club equipment which you can borrow to get started.
At the club level, competitions vary from country-to-country and club-to-club, and whether shooting on an indoor or outdoor range.
International (ISSF) competitions
ISSF competitions are shot at 50m and comprise:
UK Outdoor Matches
Example outdoor competitions in the UK comprise:

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I explained this better in response to someone else. But more and more lately raids are moving from the 2 tanks for every fight model to the 1 tank and 1 melee dps who off specs as tank for 2-3 fights per tier. What this translates to is 1 tank role, 7 dps and 2 healers per 10m. The numbers scale a bit differently for 25's but as I don't raid 25's I can't tell you exactly how they scale, just that even in 25's there are rarely 2 dedicated tanks -- as most fights are now designed around 1 tank. Which means compared to the healer corps, tanks only occupy 10-15% of the raid composition where as healers are still making up 20-25%. Which is why it would make sense to have more healer combinations than tank combinations.
On a 10m heroic level most guilds shave from 3 healers on normal content to two healers for heroic content. Some even down as low as 1 healer. {Heroic Rag, Heroic Ultrax} While this isn't necessary it can and is done by some guilds. But at the moment 1 or 3 healer comps are rare and most if not all guilds focus on 2 healers.
Using the extreme version of a 10m comp where you have a 1 tank fight -- we see that dps occupy 70% of the raid comp healers 20% and tanks only 10%.
I am not sure exactly how many specs there in game outright -- as whatever number we come up with will likely have a few specs excluded due to the "pvp" nature of those specs {re: Frost Mage, Sub Rogue, etc}
Suffice it to say when all is finally shaken out 5 tanking roles is already excessive. If you bring this to six you are seriously pushing it. Especially considering that this would FURTHER inflate loot tables.
I wasn't trying to crush dreams. I'm not saying that by the time the next xpac after Mists rolls around it wont be an idea whose time is come. I am just simply saying that atm it doesn't make sense for Warlocks to be tanks.
