The answer is yes. Basically, a blog is a collection of posts, comments, and ideas about a common topic, as you can see by reading the WEBstaurantStore.com Blog. They can provide information, open a discussion about opinions, or even entertain readers. " ...Blogging is so popular because it allows organizations to connect with their raving fans on a deeper level than previously available," says Adam Singer, digital strategist for Pierson Grant Public Relations.
So why start a blog for my restaurant? Your restaurant's blog can have a major impact on your image, reputation, and profits. In our highly technological era, social networking can play a huge factor in influencing consumers' decisions, in particular the younger generations. David Nour, founder of Relationship Economics and CEO of BeOne Now Inc. states, in regards to the restaurant industry, "As a very large population in the quick-service industry is 16 to 22, blogging will become a great way to engage them, their ideas, concerns, and suggestions." A blog can help you convert these 'would-be' customers into 'repeat customers' by providing interesting information about your restaurant's history, announcing special events, or starting a buzz about a new dish you've just invented, that's sure to become a culinary classic.
One of my favorite restaurants is a brew pub. They use their blog to announce what new seasonal brews are coming out and provide a colorful, creative description about the beer that just makes your mouth water, so you'll definitely be there when they unveil it. The main thing is, your restaurant's blog gives your business a personal voice that communicates with customers you normally wouldn't reach. It also helps you build your brand, so you can quickly become the best restaurant in town.
Your blog can also help collect customer suggestions and opinions. Customer reviews are the best way to bring in more business. Personally, if I want to try a new place for dinner, or a new restaurant is opening in town, the first thing I'll do is find their website. Then, if they have blog, I'll read it and look for customer comments. If a new menu item has a ton of outstanding customer reviews, I know I have to try it. If I find a list of really positive customer comments about the new drink special, I'm there. Customers will often post comments about the restaurant in general and their experience. These also have a major impact on my decision. As the restaurant owner, these comments can also help you build a better menu. A negative review about the lobster bisque may lead you to re-examine your recipe. A customer might even suggest some new ideas for appetizers or desserts. Giving your customer's a voice with your restaurant blog helps you improve your business and improve their dining experience.

text: Ok so I wanted my homepage to be static so I changed the reading settings. This worked fine and I wanted a new page called 'blog' to be my new posts page. I created the template and it was looking fine but then I changed the 'posts page' to 'blog' in the reading settings. When i now visit the 'blog' page it actually displays the homepage. I am relatively new to WordPress and I can't figure out why it would do this.

I'm having problems viewing my page with Firefox. I tried with FF 3.0 and now 3.5 and still nothing. My site,
http://www.danielmassicotte.com/ is said to look fine to everyone else. But when I go there with Firefox, this is what I see:
My admin panel looks like this too.
It works fine with IE... but like many people I use Firefox for all my Internet activity.
Here's what I have tried so far:
>>Run CCleaner (and checked all the extra boxes) in both applications and computer (so FF). Restarted my computer. Nothing. still the same
>>Turned off Thesis. Nothing
>>Deactivated all my plugins. Nothing.
>>Restarted the computer. Still Nothing.
>>Reinstalled FF 3.5 and restarted. Nothing.
I was thinking the problem was css, but it works fine in everyone else's browser (both FF and IE).

Colibri (Audio Cassette)
She was little and quick and pretty. Her mother nicknamed her Colibrí, Spanish for "Hummingbird." At age four she was kidnapped, torn from her parents on a crowded bus in Guatemala City. Since then she's traveled with "Uncle," the ex-soldier and wandering beggar who has renamed her Rosa. Uncle has always told Rosa that he searched for her parents but had no success. There's almost no chance Rosa will ever find them--but Rosa still remembers and longs for them.
When she was young, Uncle consulted fortune-tellers who told him that Rosa would bring him luck--a treasure big enough to last him all his life. So he's kept her with him. Together, they have traveled from town to town in the highlands of Guatemala, scraping out a living, hoping to find the treasure. Eight years have passed, and Rosa has turned twelve. No treasure has been found, and Uncle has almost given up hope. When he turns angry and desperate, danger threatens Rosa from all sides--but especially from Uncle himself.
About the Author

She grew up in a small town on a lake in northern Wisconsin--Rice Lake. she's lived for the past twenty years in a small town on a lake in the Guatemalan highlands. To write Colibrí, she traveled to many places in Guatemala where the book is set, crawled around in dark caves, including one where a real Mayan treasure had been found, and consulted Mayan calender diviners.

Skip to comments.Report Warns Of Rise In Militia Groups Across U.S...Poor economy, Black President,,Root Causes
Posted on 08/12/2009 7:18:37 PM PDT by pissant
click here to read article
I was too young to be really politically involved in the 90s during the first militia movement, and it sucked to see the America-first crowd muzzled during the Bush admin, but I'm absolutely thrilled that more and more people are getting involved in saving the Republic. Perhaps Maobama is the best thing ever to happen to the United States. He's like a one man wakeup call.
Yep. My favorite part of the report:
"Fox News host Glenn Beck, who has called Obama a fascist, a Nazi and a Marxist, even re-floated militia conspiracy theories of the 1990s alleging a secret network of government-run concentration camps."
Funny part is that anyone that has actually seen the FEMA camp episode knows that Glenn was DEBUNKING the theories.
Oh and Obama is a Marxist. Don't think that Glenn ever called him a Nazi.
Having the president come a hair's breadth from directly ordering the beating of poltical opponents, having the left trying to takeover our healthcare, having protests slandered as un-American and shills for undefined but undoubtadly evil corporate interests, having inspectors fired for exposing theft from the public trough but Hussein's buddies, and a litany of other crimes against law and liberty has NOTHING to do with the ris of 'militia groups.'
The irony is that, for any American who believes in saving this country from ruin and betrayal, the so-called militias are no threat at all.
If someone feels threatened by militias, perhaps they should do some soul searching. Why would the US Constitution be a threat to you? Why would free people be a threat to you? Look in the mirror.
I'm glad to hear that... I live here, and have already been forced out of a meeting. See my story at:
it makes me feel safer to read your posting. susan
I was wondering if the same guys that took global warming out of the last 2 years weather are doing that tracking too?
"Suddenly, its 1993."
Nope, we're at about 1772, and 1776 is in the rear view mirror and catching up fast.
when i enlisted in 1964, i also took an oath to defend the constitution and never forgot it.
To the Lefty racists at the Southern Poverty Law Center, like Obama's "homeland insecurity", any white American who owns a gun and opposes the left, is a milita member/domestic terrorist.
Clinton's police mob took off on this b.s. and brought us Waco and Ruby Ridge...followed by Oklahoma City. Bam is gearing up to do something stupid, watch.
Obviously sarcasm. However, for the uninformed, my wife is a native of Mexico. It's really hard to be married to an Hispanic and be racist. I do try, though....LOL.
love big brown eyes and yes it hard to be racist when you sleep with one but, they will paint you as an opportunistic racist anyway.
Because of their racial relativist ideology.
And the militia groups are the last line of America's defense.

Lawrence & Memorial Corp. last week completed the next significant phase of the process toward closing on its acquisition of The Westerly Hospital, L&M announced today.
Regulatory filings, which are required by the Rhode Island Department of Health and the Rhode Island Attorney General, were made Nov. 2. Rhode Island law requires that any hospital ownership change receive approval from both the Attorney General's office and the Department of Health by making a Change of Effective Control application and also completing filings under the state's Hospital Conversion Act. The applications are the first to be made under a new process available in Rhode Island that is directed at expediting the regulatory review for a Rhode Island hospital that is financially distressed and is being acquired by another nonprofit hospital.
R.I. Director of Health Dr. Michael Fine notified the parties in September that his office would provide an expedited review of the conversion process. Under the expedited process, L&M hopes to receive approval of its transaction within 90 days of the application being accepted as complete by the regulatory agencies.
"We are eager to move the process forward," Bruce Cummings, L&M president and chief executive officer said in a news release. "We are pleased that state officials agreed to consider this review on an expedited basis. I look forward to working with the regulators to advance the process as quickly as possible for the benefit of the community and the stability of the Hospital."
Attorney Mark Russo, the special master for the Westerly Hospital receivership process, said the closing is expected to take place in early 2013.
"The Westerly Hospital has been – and continues to be – a vital part of the greater Westerly-Pawcatuck community," Russo said. "An expedited review will provide stability to all in the community – especially patients."
The Westerly Hospital filed for receivership in December 2011. In August 2012, Rhode Island Superior Court Associate Justice Brian Stern approved L&M's bid to buy The Westerly Hospital.

RE: Ideas?
What do you want to see? What do you want to do? What kind of a climate do you want to visit? Do you want to tour world cities or go where the nearest person is miles away? Do you want to leave North America? Do you want to backpack, travel in moderate comfort, or travel first class? What are your concerns? Are you concerned about your personal safety, or trying to find a good time. How far are you willing to travel? How much time do you have? How much money are you looking to spend? Without some clues it is kind of hard for anyone to offer any suggestions.
Without more information your posting looks like a come-on from one of the green-card vultures that sometimes circle these sites looking for a victim to take money from.

KazMunaiGaz May Borrow $14 Billion to Invest, Not IPO
KazMunaiGaz National Co., a Kazakh state-owned energy company, may borrow $14 billion to fund developments through 2014 and probably won't sell stock in an initial public offering.
The company may borrow 70 percent of its $20 billion investment program for 2010 to 2014, Chief Executive Officer Kairgeldy Kabyldin said today in Almaty. The Kazakh state energy company sees no economic advantage from an IPO in current market conditions, he said.
KazMunaiGaz said in April the investments will include $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion a year for the Kashagan development, one of the world's biggest oil discoveries in the last 40 years. The company, which accounts for 24 percent of the Central Asian nation's oil production, has $11 billion of bonds and loans outstanding, with peak debt payment of $2.7 billion next year, according to Bloomberg data.
The Kazakh government will decide this year or in early 2011 whether to sell KazMunaiGaz stock in an IPO, Kairat Kelimbetov, chief executive officer of the National Wellbeing Fund Samruk-Kazyna, said yesterday. The fund holds the state stake in KazMunaiGaz.
KazMunaiGaz's investment plans for projects such as Kashagan may require the state to dip into its National Oil Fund, Kelimbetov said on Oct. 6. He didn't specify when it might become necessary.
Transfer to KazMunaiGas EP
"We considered transferring the state-owned stake in Kashagan to KazMunaiGas Exploration Production from the parent, but this won't solve the problem," Kelimbetov said, referring to the national company's London-traded oil production unit.
Borrowing will help cover the state company's needs, including cash for Kashagan, Timur Kulibayev, a deputy head of the Samruk-Kazyna, said on Oct. 5.
KazMunaiGaz, the majority owner of Rompetrol Group, had to repay 571 million euros ($800 million) of bonds held by the Romanian state in exchange for the refiner's historical debt in September. Rompetrol, the owner of Romania's second-biggest oil refiner, faces legal action over its decision to convert part of its debt into shares, the European country's government said on Oct. 1.
KazMunaiGaz plans to reach an agreement with Romania on the debt this year, Kabyldin said today.

Statement Attributable to the Spokesperson for the Secretary-General on Syria
New York, 7 April 2014
In the face of troubling new reports of atrocities in the brutal conflict driving Syria to its destruction, the Secretary-General demands that warring parties and their supporters ensure that civilians are protected, regardless of their religion, community or ethnic affiliation. Both the Syrian government and armed groups have the legal obligation and moral responsibility to do so. They must do everything to avoid and prevent violence against civilians, including indiscriminate shelling and air attacks on civilian areas.
The killing of an elderly priest, Father Frans van der Lugt, in Homs today is but the latest tragedy highlighting the urgent need to protect civilians. The Secretary-General condemns this inhumane act of violence against a man who heroically stood by the people of Syria amid sieges and growing difficulties.
The Secretary-General is also horrified by the gruesome images purporting executions in the Syrian town of Kassab. While the United Nations is unable to confirm the validity of these reported atrocities, gross human rights violations undeniably continue and residents of entire villages such as Kassab have been forced to flee. Government forces continue to indiscriminately destroy whole neighbourhoods, burying entire families beneath the rubble of their homes. The Secretary-General is also extremely concerned that groups listed as terrorist organizations by the United Nations Security Council continue to brutalize the civilian population.
There is a belief by too many in Syria and beyond that this conflict can be won militarily. More violence will only bring more suffering and instability to Syria and sow chaos in the region. The Secretary-General again urges all Syrians and their outside supporters to put a stop to this conflict, now. For the sake of families and communities across Syria, the Secretary-General appeals to all sides to permit immediately the unfettered access of humanitarian assistance and workers.
Under the Secretary-General's leadership, the United Nations is prepared to contribute to a new day in Syria by fostering a political settlement, providing humanitarian assistance, and supporting reconstruction.

The Gift Letter: Was It a Loan in Disguise?
Q. A relative needed help with the down payment on a home, so I gave him $25,000. I signed a gift letter to the lender. Shortly after the home closed, a different relative paid me back the $25,000. Should I still consider the money I gave him as a gift? Should I file a 709 gift tax form?
A. This is a tricky situation. Given the circumstances, I suggest that you talk to an estate planning attorney—though it would have been better if you'd done that before you got involved in this transaction.
The gift letter that you signed undoubtedly had wording to the effect that you did not expect repayment and that the recipient was under no obligation to you. Presumably, you also had to provide other documentation, such as bank statements, that showed that you had the money and didn't have any unexplained large deposits before the gift was made.
That's because the lender must make a decision on whether or not to grant a mortgage based on upon the borrower's ability to repay. If you gave the $25,000 to your relative expecting him to pay you back—either to you directly or through the relative that reimbursed you—you didn't give him a gift; you made him a loan. Having to repay the loan could hamper your relative's ability to repay his mortgage and lead to default. If he knowingly deceived the lender to get this loan—and you knowingly helped him to do it—then you both could be in trouble.
The lender has a right to know the truth about the borrower's sources of funds. And if the loan is federally insured, making misleading or false representations that induce the lender to grant the loan is a federal crime. If the loan should default because the borrower lied and really wasn't qualified, the Federal Bureau of Investigation may start looking into the possibility of mortgage fraud. Penalties are stiff and include fines, jail time, or both.
However, if you truly intended to make a gift, then you need to file IRS Form 709. Currently, you are allowed to give $13,000 each year to any individual, tax free, as explained in IRS Publication 950. If you give an amount over that, you can apply the excess to your lifetime gift tax exemption of $5 million (a break that expires in 2013). If you are married, you and your husband can declare a joint gift, splitting the $25,000. Since each half ($12,500) is less than the annual allowance for each of you, you likely won't have any gift tax consequences.
Meanwhile, the relative who gave you $25,000 also should file a 709.
And readers, please take away this lesson: Don't ever get involved in any loan deal that is, or could reasonably be construed as, deceptive. Though you may think you're being generous, you're putting yourself and the borrower at considerable legal risk.

California's $3 billion stem-cell effort may have generated controversy from the start, but a recent GEN poll generated mostly positive feedback on the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine. More than one-third of respondents (38.7%) said that the state agency, charged with overseeing stem cell initiatives, was "very" helpful in advancing stem cell science, while another 22.6% said CIRM was "somewhat" helpful, 22.6% said CIRM was "not very" helpful, and the remaining 16.1% were undecided.
In the near-decade since California voters approved Proposition 71 in 2004, CIRM survived a lawsuit before laying groundwork for advancing stem cell research of all types, most notably by awarding grants and loans. More than $1.3 billion has been doled out by CIRM, most of it to academic institutions, followed by research institutes, with businesses seeing a relatively small share. The agency has taken steps toward more industry participation. Clinical trial support is one of four goals CIRM has set for its strategic plan covering the next five years.

Subject: building javadocs for couchbase-java-client
Karen and I are following the directions for building the javadocs but it looks like these instructions are incomplete. Specifically they say to create a clean clone of couchbase-java-client and to run "ant docs" there, but the problem is that it only generates docs for our code, and misses all the net.spy.memcached docs because the spy.memcached source files are not in the build tree.
I could easily clone the spy.memcached source files into ~jenkins and then symlink the src/main/java/net files into the sr/main/java directory of the client build dir, but there's no evidence that this is how it was done before. If you know how this was done in previous releases which do include the docs for spy.memcached, let me know and we'll update the instructions and generate a complete set of javadocs. If we don't discover a known solution we'll proceed with the cloning and the symlinking. If we don't want to include third-party docs in our doc-set then there's nothing more to do.
net.spy.memcached docs included: http://www.couchbase.com/autodocs/couchbase-java-client-1.1.4c/index.html
Not included: http://www.couchbase.com/autodocs/couchbase-java-client-1.1.5/index.html

Hey Matt,
do you remember who built the C releases and the docs? I played around with doc generating, but couldn't find a way to package it just by specifying the spy docs in the classpath (and playing around with the javadoc command in our ant script). I'm sure there is a way to do this.
resolution is not to work around the current process, but to fix it so that no workaround is required.
See JCBC-303
Instead of a workaround, I'll fix the process and update the docs.

WASHINGTON -- The FBI is advising law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for terrorists who could be plotting to use fuel tankers to attack Jewish schools and synagogues, a federal official said Friday.
The law enforcement official, who asked not to be identified further, said the warning was sent to local police agencies Friday.
Another official said the warning was not based on a specific threat, but on interviews with captured al-Qaida and Taliban fighters who indicated such a plot had been discussed. The interviews with detainees did not reveal a target city or time.
President Bush said, "Any time we get any kind of threat that we think is serious, we'll put it out and people need to respond accordingly."
The notice to law enforcement agencies said terrorists may be interested in using fuel tankers and "reporting indicates the possible targeting of fuel depots or Jewish schools or synagogues."
The nation's overall alert status is unchanged from code yellow, which is the third-highest stage of alert.

Peppers at 10, which seems low.
devin gardner
Picture Pages: Devin Gardner's Near Interception Pity Party
SITE NOTE: due to this taking longer than I wanted it to and triple OT, UFR will be in the evening today.
Devin Gardner threw many passes that hit Northwestern defenders on Saturday, a good number of them I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DROPPED THAT interceptions. There were moments when I was going over the game where it seemed like it wasn't really all that bad because of thing X or thing Y, and then moments where it was very, very bad. So I thought I'd pull this out of a larger UFR discussion and try to evaluate just what happened on the various passes on which Gardner's throws hit Northwestern players.
Normally I wouldn't put batted passes in here, but there were a few incidents where batted passes were the only thing separating Northwestern from yet another pass that hit them in the hands and was inexplicably dropped, so they are also added.
Category #1: Understandable Items
#1: Gardner gets a heavy rush due to a bad blitz pickup, escapes it, and tries to throw late to a covered Devin Funchess; ball gets batted down at the line.
That's probably a PBU at worst, and he's under heavy duress.
#2: Michigan botches a freeze play when Northwestern jumps but does not cross the line. Gardner thinks he's got a free play and tries a back shoulder fade to Gallon that could be farther outside; it's a nice play by a DB who seems totally bailed out to come back to the ball and a poor one by Gallon not to break this off sooner once he perceives the DB is way over the top. The DB actually reads this obvious back shoulder opportunity before he does; he should be breaking back so that he gets to the ball before the DB.
#3: Third down rollout on the next play sees no one open. Gardner tries to fit it in to Dileo anyway, and leaves it a little inside of where it should be. Gardner's about to be hammered and goes for it.
This wasn't really close to an INT and you might as well try for the first down.
Category #2: Death-Defying Really Bad Ideas
#1: The first incident of this variety happens three minutes into the second quarter. Gardner drops back, pump-fakes a slant to Funchess, and then throws it.
He does get pressure from another crappy slide protection on which Lewan ignores a DE, and unless Gallon is open deeper to the outside the best case scenario here is a sack if he does not throw the ball. That was the move.
#2: Gardner bobbles a snap on third and three and comes up firing a wheel route that NW jumps and is thinking pick six on; they blitzed and left Jake Butt screamingly wide open.
The snap bobble takes Gardner's eyes off the defense and contributes here. Still: turrible.
#3: Michigan fortunate to have a slant batted down at the line as Northwestern undercuts whatever Gardner is looking at, in fact with two guys in Butt's case.
Gardner had Gallon as an option on the other side of the field.
[After the JUMP: another category, and evaluation.]
One Frame At A Time: Northwestern
Despite watching this approximately 457 times, I'm still in utter disbelief that this worked. Things required to have this happen:
- Jeremy Gallon immediately pitching the ball to an official.
- That official rugby-tossing the ball to the umpire.
- The umpire placing the ball down and getting the hell out of the way.
- Drew Dileo, barely in the frame when the camera zooms out, realizing after a split-second hesitation that he must sprint to the right spot and slide into position.
- Jareth Glanda snapping the ball at the last possible moment so the line doesn't draw a flag.
- Brendan Gibbons marking off his steps at warp speed, then drilling a 44-yarder despite still moving backwards at the snap (which is legal, as covered in today's mailbag).
100% complete insanity, indeed.
If you're wondering about the identity of the guy in the black jacket running around like a manic behind the goalposts, that's Greg Dooley of MVictors. Livin' the dream, Greg.

A Moment Of Stillness Amongst Chaos
11/16/2013 – Michigan 27, Northwestern 19 (3OT) – 7-3, 3-3 Big Ten
Bryan Fuller
In the long history of clock-running fire-drill field goal attempts there has been only pain and misery. When the game's about to end and you're trying to fling six guys on the field and take six off and align your kicker such that he can calmly take two steps and boot, you're gonna die.
Everyone knows this. Pac-12 refs know it so well that they don't even bother with last second field goals anymore as long as the defense squats on the ball like a hobo over a purloined chicken. Northwestern's student section knew it and was counting the clock down to their first Big Ten victory.
That's something I missed live and had to pick up on replay because I was dumbly staring at a horde of people exiting, a horde of people entering, focused on a line that I knew for a fact would not be set. So I also missed Drew Dileo sliding into his holder spot and recovering an instant before Glanda snapped it to him, possibly tipped off to exactly when he needed to get the ball off, set or not, by the numbers ringing out from the students.
Michigan's not set, in all probability, but there's no flag and Dileo's recovered from his sprawl and Gibbons ceases moving backwards, which oh by the way he is at the snap. Moving backwards. This is just an indicator of the doom to come—catch, placement, kick, overtime, whereupon it was ordained by fate that Michigan would pull this game out of their butt. Like it was nothing. Like it was always going to happen like that.
Because This Is Michigan, and That Is Northwestern.
The time for turning up your nose at any win, no matter how alarming, is past. Michigan could beat Akron on a triple reverse Hail Mary that Akron intercepts and fumbles out of their own endzone for a safety and it would be time to wave the flag and say hurrah.
So let us duly wave the flag. It is good to see the team happy. In the aftermath, various players tweeted out "Go team," each instance more delightful than the last, and then Taylor Lewan got piled on for following the crowd. Kyle Bosch did this.
There can only be one highlander #goblue pic.twitter.com/33O4Vktri6
— Kyle Bosch (@Kyle_Bosch65) November 17, 2013
And this time, Gardner destroyed the jumbled heap of pointy bits and gristle he calls a rib cage for a purpose. That purpose is looking an awful lot like not being in Detroit for a bowl game—SORRY, right, waving the flag.
While unit X's shocking incompetence is a callback to the Rodriguez days, so is feeling good for the put-upon players after a narrow win against a bad team. Even if I am in a emotion deprivation chamber for the rest of the year for my safety and that of people around me, the way you get out of those is by having good things happen, and that was a good thing.
So, good.
It was also an obvious thing. My game previews have always been made in a spirit that says predicting things is dumb (thus the weird scores), but damn if this wasn't easy to call:
Michigan wins! On some bulllllllllshit that causes Northwestern fans to self-immolate.
Or eat the saddest cup of pudding in the world.
Sippin' On Purple's Rodger Sherman has questionable taste in hats
This is what Northwestern does. Sometimes it's in the service of preventing a Big Ten championship game appearance, like it was last year; sometimes it's keeping you winless in that Big Ten. Either way, you could feel both sides of that stadium preparing to lose as Michigan embarked on the dread two minute drill. This one ended in chaos and fiasco, as they all do, but at the end Michigan managed to pull itself together and execute. Northwestern's bad mojo still trumps all.
That's not going to lead anywhere important—this season ends with an abattoir named Braxton Miller. In a landscape as bleak as the weather on Saturday, though, any ray of light is a welcome one. Let us forget about our worries and stare blankly into the butt of next week, ignoring what that hammering sound ahead might mean. It's probably meant for some other cow. Yeah. Otherwise I would not be so calm and tranquil.
Go team!
Brady Hoke Epic Double Point Of The Week. This is a tough one because while the defense held Northwestern to nine points in regulation, nobody really stood out as the single best guy on that unit. I think we will go with James Ross, though; Ross had an important sack and nine solo tackles amongst 13 total; his speed and ability to get to the right place was a major factor in Michigan suppressing Northwestern's option game.
Honorable mention: Jeremy Gallon had ten catches. Brendan Gibbons was perfect on the day. (Matt Wile missed the 51-yarder.) Wile dropped punt after punt inside the 20 and had a 50-yarder. Collectively, Derrick Green and De'Veon Smith had a stat line that looked like an actual running back: 27 carries for 120 yards.
Epic Double Point Standings.
2.0: Jeremy Gallon (ND, Indiana)
1.0: Devin Gardner (ND), Desmond Morgan(UConn), Devin Funchess(Minnesota), Frank Clark(PSU), Matt Wile (Nebraska), James Ross (Northwestern)
0.5: Cam Gordon (CMU), Brennen Beyer (CMU)
Brady Hoke Epic Double Fist-Pump Of The Week. Michigan executes the first and only successful clock-running end of game field goal fire drill in the history of football. Go team!
Honorable mention: Jibreel Black sacks Siemian to put Northwestern in a deep hole in the third OT, Jake Butt's one-hand stab gives Michigan a torchclown, Joe Reynolds flags down a punt at the one, subsequent Northwestern punt goes out at the ten, Derrick Green runs through a guy for a 20-yarder, Gardner leads with his ribs into the endzone.
Epic Double Fist-Pumps Past.

9/21/2013: Desmond Morgan's leaping one-handed spear INT saves Michigan's bacon against UConn.
10/5/2013: Fitzgerald Toussaint runs for ten yards, gets touchdown rather easily.
10/12/2013: Devin Funchess shoots up the middle of the field to catch a 40 yard touchdown, staking Michigan to a ten-point lead they wouldn't relinquish. (Right?)
10/19/2013: Thomas Gordon picks off an Indiana pass to end the Hoosiers' last drive that could have taken the lead.
11/2/2013: Clock expires.
11/9/2013: Nebraska muffs a punt through no action of Michigan's.
11/16/2013: Michigan executes a clock-running last-second field goal to get the game to OT.
[AFTER THE JUMP: decisions, waggles, I hate Illinois rollouts, a brilliant GIF, and physics.]
Upon Further Review 2013: Offense vs Nebraska
TUBE NOTES: They didn't put the tubes on TV! ABC –1,000,000. WHERE ARE MY TUBES, ABC?
FORMATION NOTES: Nebraska often responded to Michigan going under center with running an under package with a safety walked down, sometimes to the line, like below…
…they blitzed a ton from this.
Michigan is occasionally having Funchess in a three-point stance but split out about a body length from the tackle. I have not given this its own name yet; we'll see if it sticks around.
You can't see the outside receiver here, but this is "shotgun trips inner stack TE". Shotgun = obvious. Trips = three WRs to one side. Inner stack: look, they're stacked. TE: there is a TE.
And there was this.
It has been discussed; Funchess is covered for reasons of sorcery.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Michigan is settling down for better or worse. Gardner the whole way, Toussaint most of the way and occasionally replaced by Green on plays that were almost all runs because Michigan is more afraid of him as a blitz pickup guy than Toussaint. WRs were Funchess and Gallon primarily with Chesson getting the bulk of the remaining snaps. Dileo had only a few snaps, most obviously the last one.
OL was the usual now: Lewan/Bosch/Glasgow/Magnuson/Schofield. Kalis made a couple of appearances in goal line type sets as a sixth OL.
Michigan's main churn at this point is at tight end. Butt is the main guy now. Paskorz got some snaps, as did Williams, though Williams seems to be getting fewer and fewer as the season goes along. Michigan tried a couple plays with Houma as a wing TE, which didn't work too well.
[After THE JUMP: I regret to inform you that the Heisenberg uncertainty principle does not apply to football games and observing this left it just the same.]
Picture Pages: Blowing Up The Inverted Veer
Michigan couldn't get yard one with the veer against Nebraska, and most of them ended up with an unblocked Nebraska player blowing up Gardner. It is time to look at them. For some reason. Why didn't I start a blog about 1980s hairstyles? 1980s hairstyles never make you want to rub your face in gravel.
I digress. The first one comes on Michigan's first drive. A late blitz has just seen a power O slanted to and blown up for a one yard loss; it's second and eleven on the 24.
Michigan comes out with an H-back and two tailbacks in a twins formation, which necessarily means that the slot receiver is not an eligible receiver. Nebraska responds with 7.5 in the box, with the gray area defender just about splitting the difference between Funchess and the tackle.
On the snap Bosch pulls and the gray area guy sits and stares the backfield down.
Michigan shows veer action with Kerridge leading Toussaint to the outside; Michigan blocks the playside end, which would mean they're expecting to option the slot defender except 1) Kerridge is out there, so they're using one of their blockers on him anyway and 2) Gardner does not appear to be reading him but something further inside, if he's in fact reading anything. Gardner's awareness of this slot defender seems to start after the mesh point.
You can see that Gardner's helmet is not pointed at the slot defender as he starts making his decision:
What's he reading? Is he reading anything? I don't know. it doesn't seem like it. Watch the video in real time to get a feel for it. Toussaint does react like a guy who might get the ball, juking the blitzer, so I guess they're reading something. What is unclear.
Meanwhile, Kerridge is expecting the slot guy to contain upfield; instead he shoots upfield inside of him hard, too hard for him to adjust to.
Gardner pulls and seems to sense a disturbance in the force now; he goes straight upfield.
Toussaint dodges the blitzer, running into Gardner; Kerridge is prone, Gardner starts stumbling, and his momentum is taking him into the chest of an unblocked LB.
It's now third and nine, and Gardner's soul is now worn 1% more.
Items Of Interest
Optioning no one. We're back here, in year three. Michigan has a rudimentary read option game on which their QB doesn't know what to do too often and gets plays blown up, but here we're back to last year's Alabama game, where the defense made it so that Michigan's option plays didn't actually option off a defender, with similar results. No matter what happens on the edge here, the play still spends Kerridge and Toussaint on one defender and leaves an unblocked guy.
It would be one thing if I'd ever seen this fullback on the edge thing work. I have not. At best it's wasted him as he blocks a guy shooting up on the edge who is trying to contain Toussaint; at worst:
I'm about to get some comments about how this is Gardner's issue or Kerridge's issue and that Borges can't be held responsible for the results of this play. Sure. Any one play can be traced back to some execution error by the offense.
These posts are an effort to explain trends I'm seeing in the offense with particular plays, though, and this kind of half-ass option is par for the course. Michigan cannot get the fullback to be useful on these read option plays, and hasn't made him useful for three solid years.
This is the kind of stuff Denard papered over by being Denard. Even when Michigan was eviscerating Ohio State two years ago, they weren't really optioning anyone and it was left to Denard to make the magic happen against an unblocked dude at the LOS:
Michigan was fortunate that was a freshman Ryan Shazier on one leg. When you don't have Denard and you've turned your quarterback's ribs into a fine paste already, you no longer get 41 yard touchdowns and instead your unblocked dude gets a tackle for minimal gain, or more likely a loss.
They've had Kerridge for three years now and Gardner that long and Toussaint that long and they still can't get them to execute a real option. Either they're not trying or they're not coaching. And either way…
How is this supposed to work? It seems like the idea here is for the slot guy to run himself upfield outside of Kerridge to maintain a force back inside and then for Gardner to hit the gap between him and the rest of the defense. Nebraska beats that idea by using the slot guy super-aggressively.
How do you make this play work? Nebraska understood that Michigan's formation meant Funchess was not eligible; the gray area defender had no thought of a pass and ended up blowing up the play. But you can still make this work since Nebraska is sitting so deep with the safeties. Michigan has two options here: shooting Kerridge at the LOS, leaving Toussaint to his own devices, or using Kerridge to attack the slot defender and put Toussaint on the edge into acres of space.
This is the kind of thing you could come back to later with a tweak and bust a big gain. Clearly there were no big gains on this day. This design isn't necessarily bad; the inability to see what Nebraska is doing and get rock to their scissors at some point is. I mean, if you get this again and block the dude the defense has no force player, which means you get a lot of yards. This move by Nebraska violates a cardinal tenet of sound defense and works because they win on RPS, and if you probe at what they're doing here you can beat that. Instead Nebraska just kept chewing up Michigan's offense.
Hooray covered slot receiver. Hooray. I will never understand the point of that. If Michigan had some package where the ability of the H-back to get to the backside of the play meant something, okay. Instead you get nothing and if the D recognizes it, as they seem to here, you're playing 10 on 11. Temporary voluntary red card.
Again, maybe this is some sort of genius but since I've never seen it do anything productive it just seems dumb.
Upon Further Review 2013: Offense vs MSU
- 2013 michigan state
- devin funchess
- devin gardner
- devin gardner's bruised everything
- i am a very important person who should be listened to
- i have no idea what's going on
- i know it's over and oh it never really began but in my heart it was so real
- infinite bullough factory
- is mark dantonio a secret nazi probably
- pat narduzzi should go away
- upon further review
ACCIDENTALLY APROPOS ERROR NOTES: Since the NCAA decided to replace their stat pages with much worse stat pages I've been using ESPN's items—still worse than the thing the NCAA just replaced but better. Their drive pages have been consistently erroneous all year, but my irritation just evaporated thanks to this magically accurate error in re: Michigan's drive immediately following Taylor's interception:
CORRECT, intern or robot or whoever. Correct. Except that drive started at the MSU 41, but we forgive all transgressions for spiritual correctness. The best kind of correctness.
FORMATION NOTES: So I just called MSU's stuff 4-3 over but I should point out that everyone is within ten yards of the LOS on damn near every snap. This is M's opener.
This was completely typical. For the most part, MSU did not try to match corners, they just ran their D. They would occasionally move guys down and whatnot, but mostly this was like watching magic. MSU has acquired a variety of guys big time programs didn't want and plays them more aggressively than the most athletic defense in the country, whoever that might be, and apparently no one can do anything about it. It is boggling.
MSU did on occasion flip to man press on the corners; this is designated with "press."
While it was the same personnel, when MSU shaded a guy outside the hash I called this a nickel. As always, with opponent formations I'm not trying to describe personnel.
SUBSTITUTION NOTES: Gardner until last three plays, Toussaint almost the whole way save one, maybe two snaps on which Derrick Green didn't seem any better at pass blocking.
Line was Lewan/Bosch/Glasgow/Magnuson/Schofield with some limited exceptions featuing Kalis entering as a sixth OL. Paskorz got some snaps at TE; Butt got most of the inline snaps. When Funchess was inline it is noted below; he was inline for every play on Michigan's final drive but mostly split out. No Dileo; WRs were Gallon, Chesson, and a little bit of Jackson.

Very often adult videos are at their best when they use a proven story that is borrowed from a Hollywood movie. In this case, the totalitarian world of Woody Allen's Sleeper becomes a world where sex must be performed surreptitiously. Unfortunately, Future Lust goes wrong in too many places. The sex is never really hot – just mechanical with no real lust behind it. The one decent scene of note is a long three-way girl/girl with Debi Diamond, Tabitha Stevens and Staci Lords that is given ample time to develop. Otherwise, an average production from a generally good director.

2014 DFBC Finalist: Long Night, Longer Day for Conan_The_Bumbarian
Daily fantasy players are used to staying up late, watching the games until the last inning is complete. Conan_the_bumbarian, or Chris, had to report to the firestation for work the next morning at 6.am., but that didn't stop him from staying up till 4a.m. to secure his DFBC Qualifier victory.
How long have you been playing fantasy baseball?
Fantasy football is my main one and I started in 2000. Fantasy baseball I tried one time back in 2007. I just started on April on your site.
In your opinion, how does daily fantasy compare to season-long?
Daily fantasy I enjoy more because you make a bad draft, you can always try again the next day. It's more exciting in the long run. Every day is a new start.
How would you describe your overall approach to drafting?
The first thing I keep an eye on is the weather to make sure the teams are actually playing. Besides that I go with my gut. I'll pick a few guys that I feel I need to have on my team (generally hitters) and a value pitcher who isn't too expensive and hope it works out.
Describe the night of your DFBC Qualifier win.
I thought I missed the entry because when I looked in the daytime there were no spots available. Later in the day I looked again and some spots were open so I jumped in. I went back and finalized my lineup about 20 minutes before the lock. Around 10'o'clock I saw I was in a pretty good position. Decided at that point I wouldn't be able to sleep and decided to stay up. Some of the games had extra innings, but I didn't have any players in those games so I was pretty nervous. The last games ended at around 4 in the morning and I had to go to work at 6a.m.
Wow. Must have been a rough day at work. What're you looking forward to the most about Vegas?
Geez, that's hard to say, but the one thing I keep picturing is when the plane lands and I get into the limo. From there I don't even know what I'm going to do. I guess I'm just looking forward to the whole experience. I've been picturing Vegas ever since I started playing football on the FD.
If you won 1st place, what would you do with the $1,000,000?
I just can't imagine it. I'd definitely help out some family and friends, pay off the mortgage, and just continue on in fantasy sports.
