Poltergeists - Ghosts Or Psychology?
Poltergeists? Or are They?
There have been many TV programs over the years showing various families who have experienced poltergeist activity. A Poltergeist, translated from the German Noisy Ghost is a phenomena of ghostly manifestations that take over a home and can be a frightening experience.
The ghostly attacks can start at any time. The family involved may have lived in the house for many years before the actual phenomenon starts. The spooky activity usually starts off small, building up to terrifying attacks.
Most of the time one of the family will start to notice something strange. For example milk being spilled, or doors beginning to bang open and shut. This is usually put down to natural occurrences such as accidentally knocking the milk over, or someone leaving the door open.
But after a while the person will realise that the amount of things going wrong is really getting out of hand. Say the mother has seen things out of the corner of her eye, or too many objects fall to the floor within a few moments. This is the time when she will start to realise that something isn't quite right. And then the fear starts.
Ghostly Goings On
By the time one of the family realises that something is happening within their home, the other members of the family will start to pick up on the strangeness of the situation and then the panic begins to grip them.
Obviously there are cases when one of the family can be causing the others to react to a completely rational occurrence by causing mass hysteria when really actually nothing is happening.
Most of the time the actual so called Poltergeist Activity is really just wear and tear in the house. For example the stairs creaking at night because of heat or cold causing the components of the wood to contract. Hysteria is a real phenomena and can pass from one person to the next very quickly especially if there are children in the house.
But there are other times when the phenomena is very real. Books fly off the shelves, cups fall to the floor, and in really rare cases fire breaks out in a room that hasn't got anybody in it. Some people even report that they have been thrown across the room, or physically attacked.
So what exactly is going on?
Lisa Manning and Children
Poltergeist Phenomenon True Stories
In March 2011 a family living in Holbrooks Coventry England, reported that they were living in fear because they were convinced that a ghost had moved a chair across the floor in their bedroom. This wasn't the only phenomena and they stated they were scared stiff.
Lisa Manning is fed up with the ghostly goings on, and her children are petrified. Pots and pans are said to have flown across the kitchen, window blinds keep opening and shutting and all the lights in the house keep switching themselves on and off.
The final straw was the ghost locking them inside their house. Escaping through a window, Lisa stated that she was not going back until something was done about it. A local Priest was called in and gave them all Crucifixes which they wear all the time now.
They have now asked to be moved, and the council was considering it at the time of the reported incident. Lisa set up a video recorder to prove that the Poltergeist existed. You can see the footage below. Real or Fake?
Poltergeist? I Don't Think So!
A Real Poltergeist?
Back in 2006, a Californian family lived the nightmare of a Poltergeist attack. Susan Lewis said that she never realised just how difficult it was to live through something like this. The spooky phenomenon started when Susan and her daughter Jamie began living with Susan's boyfriend and daughter at the house.
After settling in, strange things started to happen. Peanut butter was spilled in the kitchen, and at first they believed it was the cats that had knocked it over. Then things got considerably weirder. Objects around the house started being lined up, bottles of cleaning fluid were dumped on the floor and a horse figurine flew off the side and fell to the ground.
At first Susan thought it was one of the children, maybe trying to get attention because of the new circumstances. But soon the family realised that something strange was going on. Matt, the boyfriend didn't believe a word of it, until one day when Susan decided to make an altar to appease the ghost by placing a small statue of a cat next to some candles. Matt got annoyed and threw the small cat out the door.
Only to turn around and see it back on the altar. After this things only got worse. Fires were set in the house, things got wrecked until one day they had enough and moved out. Sadly the stress caused Susan and Matt to split up. Even though he had seen the evidence in front of him, he still blamed it on the girls. The video below is just a small part of the the phenomenon.
Human Nature
We humans tend to think in a very narrow way when something scares us. Especially over the last hundred years or so ever since the beginning of the Spiritualist movement and a belief in real ghosts.
We have, without realising it become accustomed to listening and watching everything from ghost films, horror programs and everything supernatural.
In other words we have taken all this information into our Psyche and without realising it we access that information when anything similar occurs in our lives.
However modern we may believe we are, there is a part of our minds that is still purely ancestral. Whether we believe this or not, the fact is that as our ancestors believed in the other world, and placed great store by giving gifts to the gods. And we are still very much like that today.
Unless someone is scientifically minded, they will always believe that the Poltergeist is in fact a real ghost. And the more they believe, the more the family will take it as true. And therefore the phenomena will carry on.
So is there another explanation? Well yes, many in fact.
Poltergeist or a Troubled Child?
Open Your Mind To Other Possibilites.
What To Do If You Believe You Are Under Psychic Attack By A Poltergeist.
The problem is fear. When we are confronted by something so frightening that we do not understand it, we automatically go into the fight and flight mode. This is a biological reaction that affects our bodies. Adrenaline will be released into the muscles of your body and you will react by trying to escape as soon as you possibly can. Your mind will centre on the one thing you need. Escape. The trouble starts when you try to think rationally. Adrenaline in this case will overtake your will to consider other possibilities. So what must you do?
- Think! Not when you are under attack, but when the phenomena has stopped. Get a piece of paper and a pen, sit down and make a list.
- Plan. What are you going to do? First of all write down the common sense approach first. You cannot leave home. Where would you go? First things first. Start at the beginning.
- Question. The first thing you should do is sit down and discuss it with your family. Is there someone else in the house or street who is playing games with you? Is it possible its one of your own children? Are they having problems that could be making them do this to get attention? Are they having trouble at school? Need your help and are afraid to ask? Its very possible as this may be the only way they can interact with you.
- Search. Take each room one step at a time. Look for rats, cats stray dogs, or even stray people! You may have a burglar, or even worse, maybe they are hiding out in your house. Check the attic, and the cellar, look under beds search cupboards and just about everywhere else someone or something could be hiding.
- Open Your Mind. There are other possibilities apart from Poltergeist activity. There is something called Telekinesis that has been more or less proved. I say more or less as anything beyond conventional science is a tricky business to study. But its said that children and adults have an energy surrounding them which is caused by brain activity.
- Sometimes in rare cases, if a child is unhappy for any reason they can actually lose control of this energy and send it out and cause objects to move. This could well be the cause of the phenomenon. The best way to see which child or even adult may be the culprit, is to send each person away for the night to see when and where it happens. This should give you some indication of which person is the culprit. Even though they may not realise they are the actual problem.
- Poison. There are many cases where hallucinations can be caused by leaking gas. Check out all gas outlets. Monitor for Carbon Monoxide poisoning, even a small amount could cause hallucinations. Too much is deadly, but if its only a small amount this could be the thing that is messing with your judgement. Think about whether you have bought new furniture, carpets or appliances. Certain chemicals in the cloth or flooring could be causing you all to imagine the so called Psychic phenomenon or Poltergeist.
- Check Records. Go to your local library and see who lived in your house before you. Have they had similar experiences? If not, then it must be something you are doing or have in your house. If they did have a poltergeist, then maybe you need to look deeper into your houses location. Are you on a strong natural radioactive line? Is there something about the area that can cause a malady of the senses? Overhead cables for example? People have been known to experience dizziness and ringing in the ears because of the cables causing an electrical discharge.
An Ordinary House With Troubled Residents
Most Likely Scenario.
The most likely cause of your Poltergeist is going to be one of the children doing it. Whether it is because they are scared or frightened of a particular situation, maybe bullying at school, or even a change of house. Have you recently moved in with someone, changing the whole dynamics of your relationship with your kids? Take all this on board before you decide it really is ghostly goings on.
All these things could well be the cause of the so called Poltergeist Activity. After doing all of the above, if you still cannot find a normal explanation then there is only one more thing you can do. Move!
Or if you are brave call in a Priest or Holy Man. Maybe there really is a Noisy Ghost, Poltergeist or Spirit trying to get your attention! Good Luck.

It is a really strange phenomena this one but you have provided some very plausible explanations. Another great read.
Interesting list of things it could be, including live intruders. (I'll take a ghost over that any day!) I have often wondered about houses that are built on old battlefields or cemeteries. Often we don't even have a true record of what came before.
I have not had a personal experience like this, but I think many strange things are not able to be explained in any really rationale way. My great grandfather could do telekinesis, and this was reportedly seen my many relatives to my mother when she was young. He caused a table to move across the room with a baby laying in the middle of the table. There were about 4 people that saw this happen. This is not something that has occurred by any other family member, but interesting none the less. I love Will's story. Very interesting.
I grew up in a Haunted House. At the time I was just a child and thought I was just seeing things because of an overactive imagination. Later, as an adult, I found out that the house was built on an Indian graveyard. I also found out that my family was seeing, hearing and feeling the same things that I was. My Dad actually told them to "Go away" (something a co-worker told him to do). He said that after he did that, they never bothered him again. The "Ghosts" looked just like Indians, with face paint and feathered headdresses. I saw them all the time in the upstairs, where our bedrooms were, but never in any other part of the house. It was a scary. They would look in my window, appear in my closet and under the bed. I could "feel" them every time I was upstairs in that house. What a scary childhood it was, for sure!
Awesome again! Loved it. I watch Paranormal Witness sometimes, but since it is a dramatization, you can't really know one way or the other. I woul love to see the pics that the girl took "to light up the room"!
My cell phone keeps disappearing . . . then I find it in an odd place.
Puzzled??? I should plan one too :)
You have a great advices as per your checklist at the end there. Yeap something, our mind could not function properly especially after we are programmed with such things thru movies.
The footage shown the moving chair is made up?
Hi Nell - how very interesting and so well documented. This fascinates me and as a child I remember many stories of happenings that were more or less taken for granted. I must delve more into this - think you've started my curiosity -
"There is something called Telekinesis that has been more or less proved."
Oh, please, do tell me where this is proven to exist.... even more or less. You seem to be skeptical (as am I) and then come out with something like this. Just because it has a name and some think it exists, doesn't mean it has been proved.
Hi, Nell
I love the way you tackle this subject and provide a wealth of interesting information. I have to admit that I am one of the world's biggest sceptics when it comes to the paranormal but there is one experience from my teens that has never been explained.
I was about 14, maybe 13. I was at a family party/gathering (can't remember but think it was New Year) and I was alone in the dining room, having noticed that one of my uncles had left his cigarettes in there... I had just lighted up when there was a bloody great crash. Within seconds, family rushed in and although I was caught red-handed smoking, that wasn't their immediate concern.
There was a glass table at one side of the room. The glass had fallen right through the frame and a knife and fork lay on the undamaged glass, on the floor, in the shape of a cross. There had been no knife and fork near the table and I was at the other end of the room. My family knew I had no time to get away from the table after the crash before they came in. The spooky part is that my uncles tried and tried to fit the undamaged glass through that table frame without success. The glass was (of course) too wide.
The positive is that I was never pulled up for nicking the fag or smoking - but could it be that I had a guardian angel poltergeist trying to stop me smoking? I'll never know the answer to that, I don't suppose, but it always makes me wonder and hold back from dismissing inexplicable experiences, however seemingly bizarre.
Enjoyed the read very much.
I am truly starting to believe that much of the poltergeist activity we see can be attributed to thought forms of a disturbed or angry teen or even adult. These thought forms manifest themselves and are able to actually manipulate energy and space. I believe that if the person who is experiencing the manifestation of these thought forms continues to focus on the "poltergeist"...it only feeds it and makes the situation worse. Great article, Nell!

This image comes from the same data as the previous image except that this one includes over three hours of Ha data.
After being done with the previous image - where I could barely use any Ha -I told Ray I would like to capture one night worth of Ha only. This time, Ray capture the Ha data himself and when he was done he sent me the calibrated image. I added the Ha to the LRGB I already had and reprocessed the image. Later Ray sent me the image as he processed it. I took that image, extracted the lightness data, blended it with my previously processed HaLRGB image, did some additional processing, and the result is what you see.The highlight of the image is the interesting planetary nebula at the bottom-left of the image. It was identified as PN G227.1+00.5.

"I want to say something serious," replied old mazey, with impenetrable solemnity.
No better name for it could have been devised than the name which old mazey had found.
Her own eyes had shown her old mazey on his way to the upper regions, more than an hour since, with a candle in his hand.
Later in the day Magdalen found an opportunity of applying to old mazey himself.
When old mazey had opened it to show her the rooms in the east wing, she had heard no noise.
"This mustn't happen again, mazey," the admiral used to answer.
There sat old mazey, with his spectacles low on his nose, and his knotty old hands blundering over the rigging of his model ship.
"They're all alike," proceeded old mazey, with his head still running on the sex.
"I'll show you, my dear," said old mazey, speaking in the high and hollow voice peculiar to the deaf.
Old mazey dismissed the subject with another dreary wave of his hand.

Lirr Schedule
August 24, 2010 by staff
Lirr Schedule, The railroad will train incoming and Penn Station are more likely to be late during rush hour than at any other time during the day. The subject has launched the program on the island long railroad in the crisis. Passengers in Port Washington had varied schedules of feedback on Long Island Railroad. Some of the passengers and express irritation unusual in regard to the timing of the Long Island Railroad.
"I know that the train will not be saying that," said Howard Berman BermanHoward, which is taking the LIRR to get to work, commenting on the timing of the Long Island Railroad.
Meanwhile the New York Times did ananlysis of the processes in 2009 on three major passenger rail lines that go to Penn Station as regards the timing of the Long Island Railroad. However, some travelers are not concerned about the report's findings on the list of Long Island Railroad.
It has been reported that the LIRR agreed in a statement that set-up is likely to pass back across the rush hour. The reason is the fever of the Long Island Railroad; many trains arrive at Penn Station, with the partial number of platforms to stand on. "During periods of peak rush hour, when we are moving more trains and more customers, our performance in time [the prosecutor] may be affected by a number of factors, including limited space on the track at Penn Station, we share with Amtrak and NJ Transit, "the statement said.
Meanwhile, the Long Island Rail Road Commuter Council (LIRRCC) has asked the MTA, the New York State and Nassau County to strengthen its work to the experience of a fair place to protect Long Island bus service and provide a solution to the island long railroad timetable.

Tips For Taming Your Fringe/Bangs
Being someone who has had a fringe since my hair was long enough, I like to think of myself as an expert on the topic of fringe maintenance. Here's what I've learnt over the years that might help you out with taming them:
1. Never, ever let your fringe dry by itself without at least combing it down and into place. I use a comb and my fingers to separate my fringe from the rest of my hair, make my mini side part and then sweep it to the side a little. Then I'll usually clamp my hand over it whilst using a hairdryer to make sure it stays where I want it to stay. Put it in it's place!
2. Learning to trim your fringe yourself can save a lot of trips to the hairdresser. It can be quite daunting at first but you do get the hang of it. Unless you have a steady hand, it's better not to cut your fringe horizontally as it's easier to make it uneven this way. You wanna keep the scissors pointing upwards as you snip across. I also prefer to trim my fringe while it's dry after a couple mishaps of cutting more than I've meant to when it's been wet.
3. I've noticed my fringe tends to get greasy more quickly than the rest of my hair, so dry shampoo has become a very good friend of mine. If you don't fancy dry shampoo (or you face the nightmare of unexpectedly running out of it one morning), you can tie the rest of your hair back and quickly wash and shampoo your fringe. It usually dries quickly and it gives the illusion that your hair is clean!
I hope these tips are helpful for someone out there!

Let's Talk About Genderless Clothing
With Selfridge's recent Agender pop up and plans to dispose of separate menswear and womenswear departments, the idea of genderless clothing has been thrust into the media spotlight.
In my opinion: it's about time.
Too often, society's construction of gender attaches rigid labels to men and women (and often fails to recognize other genders outside these two categories). When these constraints extend to fashion, it puts restrictions on what is supposed to be a form of self-expression. Those who try to break these boundaries may have to deal with having their gender or even sexuality questioned.
The idea of genderless clothing is that these labels are ignored and you can wear whatever you like. Yes lines have been blurred in fashion with androgynous clothing and 'boyfriend' jeans but it's more about seeing clothing items unattached to gender whatsoever. There are no 'menswear' and 'womenswear' sections, it's all 'wear'.
So what are your thoughts on genderless clothing? I'm honestly still figuring everything out but I do really believe in people wearing what they want without gender constraining them. I'd love to hear other ideas though too, so feel free to leave a comment!

Tokyo Travel Diary Part 2: Meiji Shrine, Harajuku & Shibuya
We started off the second day with a visit to Meiji Jingu. This is a Shinto shrine dedicated to Emporer Meiji and Empress Shoken.
Fancy some sake?
Since Meiji Shrine is right by Harajuku station, we headed back into Harajuku to look around. This is the bridge where so many street style photos are taken! Since it was a Wednesday morning, however, it was pretty empty.
Takeshirta Dori is a street filled with adorable clothes, accessories, makeup etc. My 13 year old self would have had a field day.
Pretty crepes.
We also came across a Line Friends store! Line is a popular messaging app across Asia and they use the most adorable characters for their stickers.
Brown is easily my favourite character. He never changes his expression.
Cool building.
I saw this matcha latte on Instagram and immediately noted it down on my list of places to go. The Yojiya Cafe is located in Shibuya Hikarie, a department store right next to Shibuya station. Once we got there, we found out Yojiya is a make up brand! It originates from Kyoto and the face on the latte is their logo.
After the matcha break, it was time for some shopping.
Shibuya 109 was like a gleaming beacon in the distance. I have been wanting to shop here for a long, long time and it did not disappoint. Only my budget stopped me from walking out with the entire contents of Emoda.
The last part of my Tokyo diary is coming soon!

Designing comics for digital media requires some imagination. Really a new way of thinking. This NPR report features comics writer Mark Waid who is designing comics with the new medium in mind. Truly exciting work.
He seems to have some of the same concerns we have about the LegPubs. You cant' just take a print book or publication and throw it into an eReader and say, "OK. Done." It has to be optimized so the expectation of digital consumers can be met and this new market will flourish.

*spits*..... *ding*
Texas Baylor is on also!
Joey Andre Ware-ington calling that game? Puke.
How foo-baw is supposed to be played.
Rooting for Missouri since they are sorta Midwest....#MidwestFootball plus its gotta grind some people to see a newbie walk into the SEE EEE CCCCCCCEEEEE and win it all in thei 2nd season in the conf.
Makes the Big Ten look just as bad since Missouri begged to be let in and were snubbed.
No it makes the SEC loook bad as Missouri's earlier success has hurt their image. They weren't suppose to be able to play with the SEC teams without SEC players.
I think the SEC gurus would say that the SEC's higher level of competition has "toughened" up Mizzou faster than expected.
I'm sure they would, but no one outside of the SEC believes that.
Ya, the Big Ten got Rutgers and Maryland instead after all. What a deal! Big Ten looks great for not taking Missouri...
Shoulda called that hold on the two previous downs, too
great catch there by Auburn WR #GallonHands
Nice camera work
Plays at Toledo next year.
He replaced Saban.
That was one hell of a good catch by Mizzou for the TD
That was not a catch...
I got Mizzou in this one.
Barf..... But if I had to pick go Auburn
Got to go with bama haters
Pretty sure they showed a replay where you can see the ball rolling on the ground
Having Drake Harris and George Campbell will make a huge difference just like Green-Beckham and company are for Missouri.
UM is going to have a basketball team at WR.
Is there a more loathesome duo than Verne and Gary Danielson?
I used to like them both, but they've just gotten so terrible. Give it up, Gary, it was a Missouri touchdown. We know you're rooting for Auburn since Missouri isn't really an SEC team.
Well, he was right in real-time, the ball was spinning on the ground...
He may have been right, but to keep harping on it, as though Missouri couldn't have scored on the next play - man, if I was a Missouri fan, I'd just mute this.
It's amazing how much of a moron Danielson became once he flipped to CBS and started solely covering the SEC. He wasn't that bad before.
That being said, I really like CBS' production value for college football. They really do a great job, even if they're total conference homers.
Ya CBS does have great production. I do not understand why other networks are not reaching that standard.
for streaming the broadcast free on their website.
disliking Gary. But Verne is a great announcer--and just a lovable dude.
Rooting for Auburn because of Da'shawn Hand
See, when the SEC champ game is low scoring is because the SEC defense is so elite. But when it's high scoring it's just because how elite the SEC offense is
I know Auburn has a great offense, but the tackling and overall defense in the SEC has went downhill in a hurry.
NFL draft killed the SEC
If Mizzou wins does that mean Auburn will get at an large bid?
No. Loser will not get an at large under any circumstances.
No Alabama does no matter who wins.
Damn that's ballsy.
Auburn has balls of steel going for the onside kick
love the call win or lose on onside - good job auburn coach
Didn't see that coming
If a Auburn team that was 3-9 in 2012 meets a Mizzou team that was never good in the Big 12 in the championship game, your conference isn't as glorious as CBS might trumpet it to be
Read option looking good against mizzou
Is the #spreadstilldead?
Is anyone else starting to lose interest in CFB because the lack of defense?
Watch MSU tonight. I dislike them, but I'm pretty sure their defense destroyed us and many of the teams they played.
But they seem like an outlier. All 11 of their starters are in their third year in the program or more, which is not normal nowadays.
True. But you could add any team's defense that played us, except ND and OSU. That said, I think one simple change in the rules might help - with the spread making one on one matchups everywhere, maybe they need to make a rule that all offensive players need to line up between the numbers on the field. That way they're less spread out and could make it a little easier for defenses at the snap. Just a thought.
The biggest change I'd like to see is to slow down the hurryup offenses (except at the end of a half/game). Defenses should be able to have time to get their substitutions in. It's more tiring to play defense to begin with, so when you don't have a chance to substitute, that's a killer.
The cool thing is we'll know after tonight if that D was legit or their schedule was weak. Same goes for the OSU offense.
I'm still interested but it's definitely getting out of kilter. Offenses have too much of an advantage nowadays.
I'm sure Auburn could score on FSU, but I don't think they would have any chance of stopping them.
Off topic but as a guy from SDV Team 1 I am excited to see Marcus on 60 minutes talking about Operation Red Wings. Have my DVR set to record it now.
CBS games are good for that one thing I guess.
That is an unique skill set.
Ever hear of a guy named Bobby Gassoff?
Anybody notice the starting LG for Auburn ??
We joked about his long decision making process a few years ago, but I really wish we had him now.
I like Auburn's coaching aggressiveness. We need just a little more of that. I like their speed up offense, going for it on 4th, onside kick. Asspects of the misdirection running attack. Yeah, I kind of like it all.
Might be rooting for Missouri.
The only reason I would root Auborn is if they could unseat Ohio (won't happen).
Int by Franklin. Anybody check Vegas if he has money on this BC he straight missed about 4 key throws badly already.
well that escalated...
This game is sloppy. Oh I'm sorry Verne, "shows the sec toughness and parity"
Exactly what I was thinking. This game is not making the SEC look good at all. A lot of major misakes rather than great plays.
That play was a disaster from the get go.
How is texas/baylor only 3 - 3 at halftime? What vortex did we enter where a Big 12 game featuring Greg Robinson and Baylor's defense could every be low scoring?
With a brutal wind.
Related note, anybody see ucf at smu had 1000 people total?
They were letting anyone in free who just showed up to the stadium.
is having some trouble though.
Bad, bad, defense.
combo looks as good as OSU's.
Punters have been banned from the SEC
If this were the BTCG, everyone would be talking about how sloppy both teams are and that this is just an ugly game with too many mistakes.
But because it's the SEC, this kind of game is just about how tough the conference is, that they're playing big boy football, and everyone else is just fighting to catch up.
Both teams marching up and down, only defense being key turnovers.
Love how giddy Verne got from that doinked crossbar kickoff.
3-3 Texas/Baylor at half.
Proving without a shadow of doubt that changing coordinators midseason is sure to be a total disaster. Glad Michigan stayed the course and didnt get baited into making a switch. Look how crappy Texas's defense is playing now.
Because the weather has had absolutely no impact on the game so far...
He was familiar with Texas' personnel. Can you name an former OC who was in a similiar position to help Michigan??
Mike Debord
Stan Parrish
Gary Moeller
Other than those three guys? Nobody. You got me.
That wouldn't having today with Baylor losing Tevin Reese would it now or the weather?? Baylor hasn't been anywhere near the same since he went down.
Do announcers even watch the replays they comment on? Mizzou receiver obviously caught that he was just out if bounds. I hate CBS
Mizzou v Oklahoma circa 2005
They look like a Big Twelve defense.
Colorado just stunned #6 Kansas with a half-court buzzer-beater.
Visions of Wiscy last year.
I just turned this on and to listen to the cbs crew one would think Auburn is winning this game by 40. It's an 8 point game fergodsakes.
Cause they turned it over twice - still sloppy, yet exciting half
Boom - boom again. Settle down big Verne!
"I predict teams are going to copy the triple option from the shotgun "
Really? You mean like northern Illinois, Arizona,and any other number of spread running teams? Fucking asshat.
You mean the same guy that said the spread was dead 5 yrs ago?
I love how Danielson is slurping up the read option attack now. What a derpfaced slappy.
Watching Auburn's rushing attack makes me sad that we're going to Manball. :(
Remind anyone of a noon game say last Saturday?
just needs to keep moving the ball. Auburn's D doesn't look great either.
Is this the Auburn announcing crew or CBS National? Wow are they shilling for Auburn right now - if I actually gave a shit about Missouri I'd be pissed.
Wears him as a hat.
And Gary wears a midget dressed as a troll dressed as Jim Rome on his. Gary definitely has an ass for a hat as well. He is far worse than Verne (2006 Florida hyping during game when they beat Arkansas; I care not for arguments about Florida jumping M and validating jump by waxing OSU 5 weeks after we played them, as I wanted another shot at OSU for the MNC).
That's hilarious. Time for some photoshop.
Typical SEC announcing. They always openly route for the higher rated team. Its a joke.
Of course, they're trying to make a case for Ohio State to get jumped.
I cannot stand OSU, but they absolutely should be in the championship game if they win. I dont know where CBS./ESPN concluded that the SEC gets an auto-bid to the championship game. The bottom of the conference sucks just as hard as any other league. The only really good teams in it this year are Alabama, Auburn, and Mizzou(?)
the right call. If Auburn wins, they beat another top ten team. OSU did have a convincing win over Indiana though.
That would probably be a Top5 team in Alabama and a top 15 team in Missouri. Don't start quoting where a team was ranked when you played them. That is garbage. And Auburn got soundly beaten by LSU. They were down 21 at the start of the 4th. LSU went up 14 about 5 minutes in to the game and Auburn never got closer.
because it will be more appropriate to argue about this issue of who is more deserving after both teams finish their games tonight.
Ohio had a nice run game, no bias but this Auburn running attack is nuts. Unlike Mattison and Michigan vs the Bucks, Mizzou is actually trying different tactics to slow Auburn down (tinkering between a three man line and four man line)....not working!
You are watching the absolutely awful tackling in this game criticizing Mattison. Seriously?
Mizzou held EVERY SINGLE OPPONENT under their rushing yards average this season, seriously?? Is it bad tackling or perhaps is Auburn's o line dominant and their rb's just very shifty and hard to tackle?
The only good offenses Missouri faced were Tex A&M and S.Carolina. They played Georgia when Georgia had lost both running backs. They didn't exactly play a daunting schedule to say the least. Their hardest road game was Georgia and they had nothing left by the time that happened.
I'll repeat: they held EVERY single opponent under their rushing yard average, in the SEC. Every single one. And you want to talk about "X team had an injury" and whom they played on the road. You ever been accused of not giving a team credit where credit is due? The point still stands whichever way you want to try to justify it; Auburn has a dominant running game. That being said, Mizzou is also a hell of a team
I see no reason to spare Mattison from criticism. He is an excellent coach, but even good coaches have bad games and seasons.
Look, I think Mattison is an awesome d coordinator. But he didn't adapt, and changed nothing when it was apparent what Ohio was going to do.....over, and over and over again. The only point I was trying to make is unlike Mattison, Mizzou is actually attempting at shaking things up on defense. And nothing is working. I've only seen a few missed tackles by Mizzou, what I have seen more times than not is an Auburn tailback 10 yards down field before a white jersey is even in the position to either make or miss the tackle.
I cannot stand listening to the CBS announcers slurp the SEC all game long
No offense? "Gary, SEC defense so gud"
No defense? "Verne, SEC offense so dinamik. Boner"
FSU would do to Auburn what Stanford did to Oregon.
Settling into this game after being out for a couple hours. To this point, 369 yards on 37 plays for Auburn, or basically about 10 yards per snap. They are also getting 0.757 points per play, so as someone above said, it seems like 277 yards of rushing would basically warrant the "Holy Rushing Game!" exclamation.
At the risk of sounding cliché football comes down to blocking and tackling. If you can't block it doesn't matter what scheme you run. It seems so simple but as we saw with Michigan it matters so much.
This is fun to watch. I get a sort of RR-era West Vrigina vibe from Mizzou in the way they are seemingly hybrid-type guys, really fast and agressive and athletic on defense especially. And the way they both check and re-check to defensive/offensive calls while at LOS...makes me envious.
West Vrigina?
Remember when Scott Loeffler said the reason his offense wasn't good at Auburn was because Auburn didn't have talent on offense?
— Smart Football (@smartfootball) December 7, 2013
future of Michigan football?
Remember when Scott Leoffler spent all those years studying under Mike DeBored?!?!
Has his offense ever been at least decent when he's the OC? Don't understand the Loeffler love other than he played and coached at Michigan. He's not good at all.
Not a great OC, though.
How does Baylor have 300+ yards of offense, no turnovers, and only ten points?
It would be interesting to analyse how the national announcers call SEC games relative to the score they are watching.
9-6 Alabama over LSU was an example of their fantastic defenses and was announced as such
28-20 Auburn over Missouri (at the half) is an example of their fantasic offenses and is being anounced as such
Heads you win....tails I lose.
Bama vs LSU was in fact an example of their fantastic defenses.
Other than that I take your point.
Err 28-27
Even GREATER offenses at work!
Just need to amplfy the narrative that's all.
Anyone else think that it is strange when a conference recognizes players and teams that weren't part of the conference when they played? Mizzu QB from the 70's getting recognized and awarded something by the SEC is strange to me.
...would be the first year that two teams from the same conference won the National Championship?
What exactly IS the B1G official line on this? The B1G Network routinely shows Tommie Frazier highlights when showing their montage clips spotlighting all the teams in the conference...is this one of those things that we just politely agree not to talk about or what?
Can't help but notice only 2 teams playing in BCS League Champ games playing manball (Sparty & Stanford)
were won by teams that played Manball.
It really doesn't matter what offense you run. It's playcalling and execution that seperates winners and losers.
First Alabama plays manball and are clearly at least the 2nd best team in the SEC. Second what do you call FSU. They are definitely a power football team.
RT @DavidCMorrison: Auburn running a play every 21.6 seconds. Still hasn't officially had a ball hit the ground except for 3 fumbles.
"Maul" may be a bit strong but yes they are now up two touchdowns.
No defense in the SEC apparently
Some epic ESSS EEEE SEEEE defense right there.
for having a bias towards the ESS SEE SEE is like complaining that NBC is biased towards ND. I mean, yeah of course they are. Besides Army-Navy, do they call any other conferences games?
Was Green-Beckham interested in us for a while? His name sounds really familiar
Not really. His name is familiar because he was the #1 rAted recruit a couple years ago.
Man, I want to watch this SEC game and just enjoy the game, but...
Watching Mizzu score after getting the ball at their 7 yard line with a little over one minute until the half... reminds me of what....?
Hoke really REALLY should have tried to get some points at the end of the 1st half. I like Hoke's aggressiveness usually, but I feel that was a MAJOR blunder than bit us in the ass at the end of the game. I stil can't believe he would just sit on it against a team like Ohio.
(get over it, I know. I'm trying)
I'm mad!!
will drive you crazy. For your own mental health let it go.
So let's compare end-of-the-half drives here.
Missouri gets the ball at their own 8 with 1:10 on the clock down 8 points. Drives down the field and scores.
Michigan gets the ball at their own 20 with 1:03 on the clock in a tie game. Gets a first down, runs out the clock.
Which would you rather have?
the ball? Michigan has neither of those.
Yes but they scored there through the air, something we were having success doing against OSU.
If it were me I would have tried to push it down the field.
And a QB who hasn't been beaten into the ground all year.
And yet they scored 21 points on the half, and reasonably could have made it 28 by at least trying instead of playing for the whistle.
Like I said, I don't defend it, but I do understand the decision.
You are right. They only scored 42 in the game, and they should not have tried to get more points. Strong arguement.
There are of course other options.
Gardner could throw a pick or fumble, or our offense could simply be stopped (I believe Ohio had some timeouts) and then they would be the ones with a chance to score at the end of the half. And then I bet you'd be complaining about us not playing it safe afterwards, since you seem to be always complaining.
No. After we got that first down run, THEN is when I would have played aggressive. Bad things can always happen. You can play call to try and avoid disaster (throwing deep, or telling DG to take sacks rather than risks, for example). If we would have been stopped, no worries. Not trying, for me, brought worries. As it turns out, I might have been correct.
You usually have to take some sort of risks to win. If you are afraid to take any, you will likely lose. That is a general, but very true statement.
The guy shooting footballs basketball style just got screwed with this ot session
Yeah, that would have been complete garbage if he lost.
Credit to him for not letting it affect him. If I knew I potentially got screwed out of 100k, I probably wouldn't have been able to concentrate in the OT.
but it got him $100K.
"OSU likely 60 mins away from a bid to the NCG" - someone on Fox
Is everyone in the national media really writing off MSU like that? I think MSU has a great shot tonight..
were favorable to MSU last night. Didn't see gameday this morning.
Much defense. Amaze discipline. Very tackle. Wow.
Maybe I'm putting too much thought into it, but the Dr. Pepper $100,000 football chuck has always rubbed me the wrong way.
It's great to see the winner's joy and think that he can build a great future with the education afforded by his winnings, but what of the loser?
I see the loser's life falling apart. I see her staring at the ceiling every night, thinking what might have been-- what that education money could have made possible. I find it scary to think that her future could depend so much on whether she could throw one more ball through a stupid hole. I feel like this competition produces both a good-feel story and a hidden, tragic one.
Anywho, go Tigers!
Of Dr. Pepper addiction.
Did anyone catch the Colorado buzzer beater vs Kansas?
Pretty nice shot
Yep, pretty crazy
This week, in a very special episode of the SEC Championship Game...
That our coaches don't acknowledge that tempo can give you a decided advantage.
You don't have to run a warp speed like Auburn or Baylor. But just using it to keep the defense off balance or to get a rhythm is worth it. Maybe not every possession, but why not sometimes? Just like why not throw screens sometimes?
We are so prehistoric that it drives me nuts.
Give your players the best chance to win...quit trying to be old school.
Start of the 4th quarter and the announcers are talking Mack Brown being out of a job. Nice.
Their QB is either horrible or having a horrible game.
Only game I watched Texas this year the refs hosed Iowa State and Texas won.
The bands will now demonstrate mitosis...
There is no way he saw where he was throwing.
...but so bad at Michigan?
Why is our luck so bad with everything right now?
I also would not overreact to 6 games. Let's see what happens over a full year.
And he still may get 40 hung on him by Baylor.
But the fact that largely because of him they're even in the position to win a Big 12 title is crazy.
And he still may get 40 hung on him by Baylor.

For god's sake CBS please stop showing that last play of the Auburn/Bama game. Was it really necessary to add sparkles to it ????????????
Because it was magical.
...thank GOD for that play, I haven't seen DG laying lifeless nearly as much as I thought I would.
We of all teams (Clowney hit) know how much the media will fall in love with one play.
If the B1G would've taken Mizzou and Louisville
Lousiville was never going to happen and lets see how good they are without Strong, Bridgewater, and the Big East.
What happened to Strong? Did I miss something?
He isn't long for Louisville. Whether its the NFL or very like Florida he's headed for a bigger job.
They have arguably the best AD in the country, they'll be fine without Strong and co.
That said, I agree, they were never an option.
And of course it's not about competitive excellence, it's about TV markets.
I'm just tired of watching how awesome the SEC is and how BAD the B1G is.
I want to have conference pride again and brag about how dominant we are. Even if Michigan returns to glory, the conference is still pretty awful right now.
Best AD in the country? I think Strong has a lot more to do with the success at Louisville than the AD does.
Strong won a basketball national championship?
Look at their other sports like soccer, field hockey, baseball, etc.
They're a strong athletics department. Tom Jurich is widely considered one of the best with Jeremy Foley at Florida and the guy that just went to Texas. Hollis at MSU is always in the mix as well.
Mizzou bet UCLA in basketball today.
NCAA - "Don't bet on it"
So true. They also scored more points than UCLA.
I'd take Pitt over Louisville but ya Mizzu would have been nice.
I would've been fine with Mizzou and Maryland though...
That said, we need to get better before we worry about anything else. Auburn, Mizzou, Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M all could've easily won the B1G this year. Not saying they would, but it's not a far fetched thought.
That's 5 elite teams when UF, UGA, and UT are all down. I didn't even mention S. Carolina.
Have you seen Tex A&M play D? They would not have easily won the Big10 or any major conference. LSU was terribly inconsistent all year and almost capped it off by losing to Arkansas.
The Vegas sports books, who usually know a thing or two, would have OSU favoured over all those teams except for Bama.
So saying those teams could have easily won the Big10 is just wrong and quite frankly a joke. The Big10 is down yes, but I'll take the opinion of the guys of Vegas over yours any day and so would most people.
I said it wouldn't surprise me.
Also, you can go through an entire regular season and not play OSU or MSU.
Texas A&M could beat either of those teams in a B1G championship game...not saying they would, but it's not even a stretch.
I hate saying it, but in the SEC you can miss teams, but you can't miss everyone.
Missouri basically played A&M and S.Carolina. Both at home. The SEC and the ACC as well really needs to go to a 9 game schedule. With 14 teams 8 simply isn't enough.
Even without playing the toughest conference schedule, are we really going to argue about which conference is deeper or tougher?
Watching these teams makes me feel like we have a long way to go to compete with the best. They look like complete teams, they have good punters and guys who can actually return punts. They have big athletic defenses. They have competent offenses. Am I wrong? I just feel like it will take years for michigan to compete at this level.
It's going to have to happen in 2015 or I don't see it happening under Hoke.
That said, I have faith. As long as we can improve and develop the guys we have and hold on to these recruiting classes.
Watching Green-Beckham makes me think about George Campbell.
Watching the RBs make me think about Harris with Green and Smith.
2015 we'll have upperclassmen who were highly touted, we'll have depth and we'll have a favorable schedule.
Yes watching Green-Beckham definitely gives me hope with Harris and Campbell coming in.
OSU, MSU, and ND all lose a lot of talent. Golson will have a year's rust to shake off and ND loses most of their defense and offensive line, MSU loses 7 of their 11 defenders(and perhaps Narduzzi) and most of their offensive line, and OSU loses most of their OL, secondary, and Hyde. Smith could leave as well.
The challenge for next year lies with the team itself. If they make dramatic improvements on both lines and Gardner matures UM can win 10-11 games. The talent is there.
However, this is a gigantic "if".
Winning 10-11 games doesn't make you elite.
I certainly think what you've said is doable. In fact, I think it's the expectation.
But it's not this elite champinship level that we're salivating over. I am looking for us to be dominant. Top 5, Top 3.
They have plenty of size and speed themselves. Between these two and Butt and Funchess Gardner should put up great numbers next year.
I'm drunk so maybe I'm being too negative. It just feels like a long time since michigan has had a competent team in all phases of the game.
It's the truth.
Our special teams haven't been explosive since Breaston was at Michigan.
I wasn't a fan before I went to school there. All I've known is pain.
I've seen you do that alot in this thread...
require a message.
Neither team seems to play much defense, but we definitely have a long way to go to compete with the elites of college football consistently
Auburn's kicker has sissy looking pants.
Uh? I think he said no 1 loss SEC team should leap ahead of OSU if they win.
was that they flagged Baylor for showboating, taking away the pick 6. The only thing the guy did was slow down and break his stride, a very little bit. AWFUL CALL. Fortunately Baylor scored on their first offensive play.
I think the winner of the SEC should just get an auto-bid to play in the MNC and the runner up in the SEC should probably also get an autobid too. Matter of fact, next year when college football starts their four team playoff I think the 3rd & 4th place teams in the SEC should also probably round out the quartet.
Cause the SEC is like the best conference EVER.
....and all the other SEC teams (even without 6 wins) should get major bowls too.
You can stop. Danielson has the color job for CBS wrapped up.
34-31...great game thus far.
As long as it isn't Auburn. Another last second game winning score would be played forever.
So if things stay as they are:
Stanford/ASU MSU
Bama Clemson
Auburn/Missouri OK
Baylor UCF
I haven't given up on Auburn jumping Ohio if they can rip this one open.
To offer up a MIZ ZOU! Go tigers (the good kind!!!)
If Missouri were to squeak by Auburn and OSU goes down how much of a push would Bama get to pass Missouri?
My guess is Bama jumps them. Bama is in the title game if two of these three lose - Ohio, FSU, Auburn.
Puss in boots
The Increadible Hulk
The Wolverine
Rick Ross
Good Lord what plays do those pictures represent?
Ahahaha I saw that too
For most teams that use the boards to call their plays, each offense play is also given a category. For example inside zone might be movies and counter might be rappers. When they call the play at the line of scrimmage then they just use something that fits into those categories. They also have to determine if they are going to run the play to the left or right. Just using the few examples you have already and assuming that they're talking about the movies and not the actual comic book characters. Perhaps a movie that has THE at the beginning is a play to the right (The Wolverine) and a movie that does not goes to the left (Puss in Boots). They may be doing something different but this is how I learned it.
Auburn passes up ohio and they should.
No they should not. Unless OSU loses the undefeated champion of the B1G should play in the MNC ahead of a one loss SEC team
I don't think that is the case this year or the last few years.
Hopefully it gets back to that one day.
That would shorten the odds a bit, wouldn't it?
all by himself
...and I wonder if Smart Football is tearing out all of his hair.
Danielson on Malzahn's offense, "He basically invented it himself."
Lundquist, "Well he read a book called The Delaware Winged T and it's basically the same thing."
I hate GD.
The ump laying wood!
Nice elbow by the ref.
and with that tackle, the ref became the 3rd leading tackler on the year for Indiana....
Bad call on that false start.
The right call.
Only the guy directly across from the guy in the neutral zone can be influenced. In this case, if the OT jumped to respond then it would've been a penalty on Auburn. The WR can't react to a lineman or LB that isn't directly covering him at the LOS.
It's like a " find 6 different things" puzzle
451 yards rushing in 3 quarters. Meanwhile we had 530 yards rushing our last 6 games.
I is sad....
That was dirty.
Verne is positively giggly tonight.
...but that's not MANBALL
That was a disgusting cut by that RB. My god
There is a strong possibility Auburn eclipses 600 yards rushing in this game....
He caught the corner of that cart square in the middle of his back. Ouch.
That hit was so late, you have to seriously consider ejecting him.
One wonders how this team was 3-9 and did not win a SEC game last year. Coaching makes a difference apparently.
Nick Marshall also makes a difference. What no mention of Missouri's turnaround? They didn't change coaches. They just happen to have had a very young team that magically got better as they got experience.
That is remarkably insightful.
I am just looking forward to the 3 out of 4 eleven win seasons in 2014, 2015, and 2017 - since you are convinced Hoke is on a superior coaching arc than Dantonio ;) well in that case it should be 3 out of 4 twelve win seasons.
As for Pinkel, I think if you moved UM to the SEC it would have some trouble, considering we finished 8th this year in a lousy conference. And Pinkel has seasons of 12-2, 10-4, 10-3 in the past 6 years. So there is a track record there outside of 1 year. And as always Michigan has access to far better players than Misouri based on brand and recruiting classes.
well thats one of the dirtiest plays ive seen in a while
That should have been an ejection.
Ass hat should be ejected.
That pissed me off.
Good for Mizzou after that dirty play.
Last play I saw was the Auburn extra point
Yeah - looked easy, didn't it?
This is on pace for both teams scoring in the 60s.
That's about as dirty of a play that I've seen in a while.
I am not saying this is because of the spread. I just am curious as to why so many have awful defenses.
I wonder the same thing. It's like they you can only have one or the other. Look at MSU, great defense, not so great offense. It's one or the other.
they alter their coverage POST snap. That is hard to account for as an offense.
Defenses? Eh, not so much.
They go so fast that their defense is always on the field.
That is why I DON'T want Michigan to go this route.
But I DO wish that we would be multiple and go spread/no huddle on a couple possessions a game. It would also help us at the end of the game.
I'd much rather prepare for one type offense even if it is an up tempo spread then an offense that can beat you a variety of ways.
Half the world pauses tv and searches for the next famous gif
SEC or not, this has been fun to watch.
It's starts out great, but by the end you are ready for something different.
makes up for Danielson's general backwardsness--IMO. I love CBS's production style--love the NFL games too. It sure beats listening to Musberger
Man Bama must be kicking themselves in the nuts watching this game.
494 yards after 3 quarters. #StillNotMANBALL
I may be in the minority but I thought he he was just trying to stop him when he shoved him.
Stop him from ever playing again. Pushed him 8 yrds out of bounds.
Yes, correct- you're in the small minority
Definite minority; that was dirty as can be
How can you stop someone by shoving them?
Apparently Mizzou has no clue how to defend that play.
Jerel Worthy is going to be pissed if Mizzou wins and makes the national title somehow. That guy hates Mizzou
The 'M' on his stupid tattoo is Missouri's and not Michigan's Block M
And we don't have our block M on the helmets. That's the bigger point I believe.
I love the Mountain West!
I know LT went for over 400 in a game though.
Great defense.
I saw better defense at the 2010 Illinois game.
1,057 yards of offense after three quarters. I am calling "barn burner":
Bo Jackson is 51? Yikes, I feel old.
LOL yeah me too... He still might be the greatest pure athlete I've ever seen. Speed, strength, agility, power - 100% all natural god given ability.
No defense. But very entertaining football
I'd hate to be a fan of either team watching this game, though.

Lou Bloom is a hard-working budding journalist whose deep obsession with his career has rendered him more than a little unstable. He traverses the LA streets at night, keeping an eager eye out for the frequently occuring violent crimes that swamp the darkness, and finds himself first on the scene with his camera for a series of serious incidents. It soon becomes clear that the the bloodier the crime he stumbles upon, the higher his pay rate is when he sells those first shots for the news; but that kind of exposure begins to seriously damage his mental health and general sense of morality. He decides to go for a job as a television newscaster, feeling thoroughly confident of his hard work over the years, and stands to live by his rather unnerving motto: 'If you want to win the lottery, you have to make the money to buy the ticket.'

On November 1, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) President Grover Norquist submitted a comment letter to US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew opposing the proposed regulation that would increase the incidence of the estate tax (or the "death tax," as it is also called).
Under present estate tax regulations under Section 2704 of the Internal Revenue Code, the fair market value of an interest in a family-held business where no current market is available is based on the "willing-buyer/willing-seller" test. However, the proposed changes would allow the Internal Revenue Service in the future to produce significantly higher valuations by restricting the use of the valuation discounts that an heir can currently claim.
Norquist explained that "families hit with the death tax are allowed two discounts when determining the value of their estate: a lack of control discount and a lack of marketability discount. A lack of control discount can be claimed when a family holds a minority ownership stake in an asset, resulting in the asset holding less value on the open market. A lack of marketability discount applies when an asset held by the family cannot easily be liquidated because of market barriers."
ATR noted that the new regulation would therefore "increase the tax burden for many family-owned businesses at a time when opposition to the death tax is as strong as ever." It is supporting the proposed Protect Family Farms and Businesses Act, introduced recently in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, that would prevent the new Section 2704 rules, or any future similar regulations, from having any "force or effect."
Norquist concluded that "the death tax hurts economic growth, is unpopular with the American people, and its repeal is supported by a majority of the US House of Representatives. … At a basic level, Americans know that the death tax is not fair. It is a tax you pay on savings you have already paid taxes on at least once, and potentially more than once. Those who are hit hardest generally are first and second generation small business owners, because the truly wealthy can avoid the tax through an army of accountants, attorneys, and charitable planners."
He urged Lew to "side with the will of the American people and withdraw this regulation."

Mann, McMullen Updates
September 10th, 2008 | Posted in Washington Redskins by Mark Solway | Comments Off on Mann, McMullen Updates
Maurice Mann is expected to return to the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL today. The wide receiver was cut by the Redskins on August 30th, and despite having a good training camp, received no NFL offers after being cut.
Mann said to Sun Media:
"It is a humbling experience. But at the same time it is a learning experience. I don't really think it is based on my talent as a receiver. It is based upon a numbers game and the time being right."
Best of luck to Maurice.
Redskin training camp favorite Billy McMullen was also picked up by the Seattle Seahawks, who have major injury issues at wide receiver. Check out Matt Teri's blog at The Official Redskins Blog.

Laurel Lockwood lost her son once through neglect. She's spent the rest of her life determined to make up for her mistakes, and she has succeeded in becoming a committed, protective parent - maybe even overprotective. Still, she loosens her grip just enough to let Andy attend a local church social - a decision that terrifies her when the church is consumed by fire. But Andy survives...and remarkably, saves other children from the flames. Laurel watches as Andy basks in the role of unlikely hero and the world finally sees her Andy, the sweet boy she knows as well as her own heart.
But when the suspicion of arson is cast upon Andy, Laurel must ask herself how well she really knows her son...and how far she'll go to keep her promise to protect him forever.

"A complex and emotional story." (RT Book Reviews)
Follow me on Goodreads too!
"Good in Reverse Order"
I read these books out of sequence and honestly I think it was just as good as if I had read them in order.
Sure the reader (you) already knows the whole story, but the characters don't know anything yet and so there is an element of suspense that keeps you hooked "when / how will they find out?"
Having read book 2 first was not at all like knowing a spoiler in advance – reading Book 1 second, it felt like I was learning the true details of an event that happened from someone else's point of view.
I enjoyed Book 1 just as much as Book 2, it was a really captivating and highly interesting story… I'd read Book 3 if ever she writes one!
"Great book...HORRIBLE performance"
The story was very well done.
Quite a bit, there are two narrators for this book and they are horrible. The woman does this inflection thing at the end of most sentences that causes me to just focus on that, in addition to this almost breathy quality. Both narrators just sound so fake.
It does have a follow up book.
Books are a survival tool in a sometimes insane world.
Everything disappointed me about this book. None of the characters made me want to root for them (except maybe the one guy that dies) Everyone is just so full of self pity and Waaaa...poor me, life's so unfair. The entire story is one depressing chapter after another. Definitely not an uplifting book. I was actually in my car saying to the audio narration: "really?" Take a look in the mirror, change your life and maybe things will change. Hate is a strong word but, I Hated it
Zero uplifting or redeeming characteristics in any personality.
I'd start from scratch
"Before the storm"
A wonderful story,the tension was palpable.I really felt close to the characters and shared their distress.
"Good Book"
I liked the story overall.. However the narrator whispered so much during certain characters that I constantly had to adjust the volume. Very annoying!
I have read the trilogy from Diane Chamberlain, and they were 5 stars all the way. I could not even make it to the end, true torture. I am returning this one and the sequel. That is not going to stop me from buying one or two more to see if they are any better
Diane is one of my favorite authors. This was not my favorite story of hers but it was still really good. Slow at the beginning but had a good ending.
"Great story, but I would prefer to read it myself"
The story was well done and intriguing, but the narrators were very distracting. Their awful Southern accents and slow drawls were painful to listen to .
"Good story, dreadful narration"
I was hooked by the story but had to go and read it on kindle in the end as the female narrator was just awful. It was like someone told her to make sure she pronounced words clearly and she went over the top (pronounced: overrrr the toP.) Ever other word the last letter was dragged out or spat out at the end. It was so distracting I spent half the book growling at her. She also made all the male characters sound like they had laryngitis. Do yourself a favour and buy it on kindle. Good story though.
"Emotional rollercoaster of a family story."
No - I don't re-read or re-listen to books but I have been thinking about the issues the booked raised.
I liked hearing the different voices - of Andy, Lauren, Maggie, Marcus - it gave the book a good energy.
I liked Marcus & Andy.

I don't know...I kind of enjoy shooting people who have lots of tattoos and having it not matter. For the type of work I do I suppose it's not a big deal for them to have tattoos especially if they own them well. I could see why primarily figure photographers wouldn't like them, but I think for some types of editorial or lifestyle photography they aren't much of an issue at all.

Such hostility! I for one am in love with all of my tattoos I have now, though I did have my knuckle tattoo removed because it was provocative and trashy. I'm drawn to beautiful ink work as a painter and overall artist because it's just so splendid to fill the world with more art. With that said, there are a lot of poorly done or 'off the wall' tattoos that people would do much better without. I don't believe tattoos will ever die off in our lifetimes, but perhaps in the future when we all have robot bodies they won't be around anymore ;P

I've seen many articles indicating tattoo removal has been in the rise such as:
"According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), the number of people undergoing laser tattoo removal increased 43% from 2011 to 2012. This is consistent with a recent survey from the United Kingdom which found that nearly one-third of people suffer from tattoo regret."
That certainly suggests to me that tat popularity may have peaked and it certainly wouldn't surprise me if it slowly fades in popularity.

To me, this is an interesting comment. If you have agreements, prior to a shoot, that your tats may not be removed in post-processing, do you similarly have exclusions on on other processing techniques? Things like "body sculpting", skin toning or burning or dodging, blemish or birthmark removal, teeth whitening, laugh lines, etc etc? All of this is equally as part of you as your tats. Do you have an agreement to exclude this type of modification too?

I don't mind tats... I have 5 myself... but what gets me is the way some women go and cover themselves in tats that make no sense to each other. Place them in random spots and frankly look like $h!t... I wanted to submit some work to one of the tat mags and did a local casting call and couldn't believe the garbage. Anything from prison tats to bad coverups... One that stood out was a girl that went to a tat party and had I guess you would call a tat war done on her arm... 3 artists trying to outdo each others free hands... 3 different styles, nothing in common. She looked like a graffiti wall at a school yard.
But I love seeing a woman with a good sleeve or leg work.
Which brings to mind a local male that by all means is industry standard with excellent muscle tones but is covered in tats in ways that no one wants to sign him because of how distracting they are.
So my thoughts are choose where and what you put on your body wisely.

50 years ago, 1/8 people probably also regretted getting a tattoo. They just didn't have as many options to fix that mistake.
50 years ago divorce was taboo, so people didn't get them. now, not so much.
Times have changed. Now you have options.
No, tattoos are still going strong, regardless of your personal opinion of them.

"President Obama: "The girls have been pretty good about keeping me posted on what's cool and what's not ... Michelle and I have used the strategy when it comes to things like tattoos. What we've said to the girls is, 'If you girls ever decide that you're going to get a tattoo, Mommy and [i] will get the exact same tattoo, in the same place. And we'll go on YouTube and show it off as a family tattoo.' Our thinking is that might dissuade them from rebelling in that way."

Actually, tattoos live on even when the body dies. You can see them preserved in exhibits such as "bodies". It is quite awesome to see them extracted from the body and the depth they go into the skin. I am going to go with NO, they are not dying. Humans may be dying, but tattoos will live on, regardless of what anyone thinks of their popularity.
Im not sure of the "trend" of tattoos these days. There have been phases of where people get tattoos, what they get, etc. but I do not think it will ever totally die out. people will always want to memorialize someone or mark themselves with something that means something personal to them in this type of way, while others just enjoy saying "I did that". This is how life works. We all make decisions. Some reflect us larger than others. Life is about seeking who we are. If people start catching on that tattoos may hinder your opportunities in life, they may decide to not get tattoos. This is my only theory for your trend if it is even true. This world still is stuck in traditional value in many ways. We have come very far but have a long way to go. It's truly sad. People should be judged by their character.

Whatever smokes your drawers or blows your dress up.
I think it's about vanity and personal choice. I believe strongly in personal choice.
It's certainly an emotional topic, as evidenced by these never-ending threads.
But for the most part, I think nobody else cares about the meaning of your tattoos to you.
IMHO, some of it works out as a display of talent and art, some of it might be a souvenir of some event, but most of it looks like random graffiti to me. Some people love graffiti. I sometimes shoot graffiti as my backgrounds, but I don't want it on my own walls.

I told my dad that I'm gonna get a nude gypsy woman tattooed on me. American Traditional style. He asked me to make sure I give her nice, huge, exaggerated boobs.

I really think having a matching tattoo with my dad would be awesome. Like super awesome. Tim, his older brother, and his dad all have matching, massive family crests tattooed on their backs. I think that's pretty fucking badass.

Here in my hometown there was a celebration of Earthday.
I was eyeballing this airbrush tattoo station which was the highlight of my day...
A serious conversation with an 8 year old boy which stencils were cool and which ones were lame.
That made me smile big.

LOL this is a ridiculous statement. What about having to look at people you think are unattractive? Really everyone should just be visually pleasant just for your sake? interesting...

In all honesty I could care less if tattoos are dying out or not. Doesn't change my mind about mine. I never got mine to be trendy, mine are a part of my life story that I got put on the outside of my body to share. I dislike being stereotyped just because I have them, my tattoos are NOT my "lifestyle". They don't dictate how I should dress or act.
