I'm not familiar with this term "Biedermeier like". A quick google didn't clarify it for me.
I hope it doesn't break your discussion rules, which I find very reasonable, to enlighten me on what this means.
I have to agree. Blogs are a really bad forum for heated political and religious discussion. I try to refrain, but sometimes someone says something that I feel can't go unchallenge
Many assume that Biedermeier is the name of a celebrated cabinetmaker of the time, but the name is more commonly attributed to a satirical cartoon popular in early 19th century Europe. The cartoon characters of the Biedermeier family symbolized the rich indolent German bourgeois of the day. They were depicted as fat, o
In the US, they might call that Ozzie & Harriet-like, after the '50s TV show that showed an idealized family where there was never really any real conflict or problems.
There's something about arguing over the Internet that's so unproductive. People who have spent time on Usenet know this. Perhaps without a give and take that includes human faces and body language that the 'opponent' becomes dehumanized and positions are polarized even more than they would with a face-to-face discussion.
I don't know...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Patriot Way.
We've heard that phrase for years, used to describe what it is that allows the New England Patriots to remain at the top of the NFL despite an ever-changing roster, new personalities and injuries.
"It's very contagious," said tight end Michael Hoomanawanui, a third-year NFL player but first-year Patriot. "That's the word I would use.
"From Day One, coming in here and learning the Patriot Way it's easy to become part of and to buy into. They've obviously been successful around here for many years. It wasn't just an overnight thing."
Since Tom Brady took over from Drew Bledsoe as Bill Belichick's quarterback in the 2001 season, the Patriots have become the NFL's best franchise.
Three Super Bowl championships. Five AFC titles. A seventh appearance in the AFC championship game at 6:30 p.m. Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens at Gillette Stadium.
"As a player," said cornerback Aqib Talib, another first-year Patriot, "if you could pick where you could play at, you would want to play for a team like the Patriots."
Talib didn't join the team until Nov. 1, when he was acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay. Extremely talented, he came with baggage — he was serving a four-game suspension for taking a banned substance when New England traded for him — but has fit in quite well, solidifying a secondary that was suspect.
No one is surprised at this.
Perhaps better than any other team, the Patriots take care of their own. They take in rookies or outsiders and teach them how to act. The Patriot Way is passed down from generation to generation.
"I learned a long time ago from Tedy Bruschi, (Mike) Vrabel, Willie McGinest, Rodney Harrison, (Richard) Seymour," said defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, now in his ninth season. "I learned from some of the best that ever played here."
What, exactly, did Wilfork learn?
"You can't be selfish playing here," he said. "It's not about you. It's team. And if you buy into that you'll be very successful.
"And that's the one thing this organization has had for a long time, guys who have come here and were not selfish, that put the team first. Because it is a team sport. You need everybody working on the same page. If you have one or two guys that's not, you can be in big trouble."
But it's more than that. The Patriots, said linebacker Jerod Mayo, look at the person first, not just the player.
"It starts at the top with the Kraft family," said Mayo, of the owner, Robert Kraft, and his late wife, Myra. "It's not only being a good football player but a good person. And following that line."
As the snow fell across the region Wednesday morning, slowing commuter traffic to a crawl, Mayo spoke about what it takes to be a good football team.
"We talk if you want to be a good football team, you'll never be stuck in rush-hour traffic," he said. "You want to be the first one here and the last one to leave. I think guys really buy into that. I think guys that come in from other teams, they follow the lead of the bulk of this team and it's worked."
They follow the lead of the veterans like Wilfork, like Mayo, like Brady. When you talk about this team's success, Brady's name usually precedes it. He is, in many ways, the soul of this team.
When he talks, other players listen. When he does something, they want to follow.
"He commands the game like no other," said Mayo. "I love watching him from the sidelines."
Or in the locker room.
"He puts a lot of work in," said Mayo. "Even though he's a Hall of Fame quarterback, you would think this is his first year and that he was starting his first playoff game. That's the way he works. He always comes in. He makes sure everybody's on the same page."
And that, said Brady, is because that's what he was taught when he was a young player looking to earn a spot.
"Tedy Bruschi took me aside and Willie McGinest took me aside and Lawyer Milloy took me aside," he said. "I think that's probably the responsibility of the veteran player, that you learn from these experiences and try to convey the messages to the younger players so that they don't have to learn the hard way."
In the end, said Brady, the Patriot Way is simply about doing your job.
"I think Coach always talks about doing your job," said Brady, who holds the NFL record for career playoff wins (17) as a starting quarterback. "So you do your job so that everyone around you can do their job. When people trust each other, you can play with anticipation and confidence, and ultimately go out there and play aggressively.
"There's really no secret to it."
Maybe not. But the Patriots have found a way to do it better than anyone else.

One of the biggest surprises since we have started One21music is the lack of interest our readers have shown in eMusic.
This was the first ad we put on our site. We thought people would flock to get 25 free songs. No one has explored the trial subscription, so I thought I would give you a testimonial from an excited subscriber. But first let me explain eMusic.
eMusic is the #1 site for independent music, with a library of over 4,500,000 MP3s. eMusic sets itself apart from other well-known subscription music services (such as Napster and Rhapsody) because eMusic customers truly own the music they download. The files available for download are in the MP3 format, making them fully compatible with all digital music players, and free from digital rights management Hippo software restrictions such as expiration dates, or copying or CD burning limitations. eMusic's MP3′s play on any portable music player (including the iPod and Zune), can be downloaded to unlimited computers as well as burned to CD.
Here is how it works. You can subscribe to download 25 to 100 songs each month based on the subscription level you buy. The base subscription is 25 songs ($11.99 per month), then grows in 25 song increments (50 songs for $14.99, 75 songs for 19.99, 100 songs for $24.99). eMusic offers about 25 different plans bu these are the most popular.
I have been a subscriber for over a year and my co-founder has been a subscriber for about nine months. We love, l-o-v-e, eMusic. Ian maintains a list of over 100 CDs and uses up his subscription on the first day it is available. I like to save my downloads to use over the month. Today is May 8th and I have already downloaded 65 of my 100 songs, so I am not such a good saver.
These downloads are just like buying the CD's or downloading songs from iTunes, except they are cheaper and you own them. If you really like music, or if your CD store is the electronics section at WalMart or if you are just cheap; eMusic is for you. I downloaded , on their release date, the highly acclaimed new CD from Beirut for @$2.75, the EP from Bon Iver for $1.00 and M.Ward'snew one for $3.50. Beat those prices WalMart and iTunes.
But more than convienence and thrift, eMusic has great services to help you find music you will love. You can browse by genre, editors' picks, new music, free tracks, advance releases, members ratings and any combination of those categories. eMusic has music journalists writing artist and genre features and reviews.
Finally, eMusic has an extensive collection of songs and CDs from artists we have profiled on One21music. See the list below.
I encourage you to at least give eMusic a try.
By the way, eMusicalso has a similar service for ebooks if you like to listen to ebooks

Eastern Pacific Fishing Nations Fail to Conserve Tuna
Rodney McInnis, Southwest Administrator of NOAA's Fisheries Service and U.S. Commissioner to the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), today expressed disappointment that a few countries blocked the Commission's plan to conserve depleted tuna stocks.
The IATTC's annual meetings concluded on Friday in Panama without agreement on a plan to conserve yellowfin and bigeye tuna, which have in recent years been subject to overexploitation. The Commission has responsibility for the conservation and management of these shared international fisheries resources, but measures can only be adopted if all Commission members agree.
"The IATTC has failed to take action at a critical juncture for the successful management of these tuna stocks,†said Commissioner McInnis. "The United States certainly does not want to see a sharp decline of yellowfin and bigeye tuna stocks in the Eastern Pacific similar to the depletion and looming collapse of eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean bluefin tuna, but we fear that because the members of this Commission are failing to adopt a management regime supported by the best available science, we may be headed down that path in the near future.â€
Over the last several years, the Commission's staff scientists have consistently warned that reductions in fishing are necessary to maintain the abundance of yellowfin and bigeye tuna stocks at sustainable levels in the eastern Pacific Ocean. IATTC scientific staff recommended a 12-week closure of the purse seine fishery in the eastern Pacific Ocean, an off-shore area closure for the conservation of bigeye tuna, and reductions in allowable harvest levels of bigeye tuna by longline fishing vessels.
The overwhelming majority of IATTC member countries, including the United States, agreed in principle to a slate of measures consistent with the scientific staff's recommendations. However, consensus was blocked by a few member countries that cited uncertainty in the estimates of the status of the stocks and their unwillingness to accept significant fishing reductions.
Commissioner McInnis added, "We are
extremely disappointed that despite the high quality of analyses and
scientific research provided by IATTC scientists that indicates we must
cut fishing levels, some countries cannot be convinced to follow their
recommendations. Overfishing these tuna stocks could undermine the
economic livelihood for many people and reduce supplies of sustainable
yellowfin and bigeye tuna.â€
NOAA's Fisheries Service is dedicated to protecting and preserving our nation's living marine resources and their habitat through scientific research, management and enforcement. NOAA Fisheries Service provides effective stewardship of these resources for the benefit of the nation, supporting coastal communities that depend upon them, and helping to provide safe and healthy seafood to consumers and recreational opportunities for the American public.
NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of our nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

Here is the exercise I am trying to complete:
I have a basic understanding of pointers, but I'm totally new to dynamic memory, so I really had no idea what to do with this one. Here's my failing code:Write a function that takes a char* argument. Using new,
dynamically allocate an array of char that is the size of
the char array thats passed to the function. Using array
indexing, copy the characters from the argument to the
dynamically allocated array (dont forget the null
terminator) and return the pointer to the copy. In your
main( ), test the function by passing a static quoted
character array, then take the result of that and pass it
back into the function. Print both strings and both
pointers so you can see they are different storage. Using
delete, clean up all the dynamic storage.
There are two issues with this code. 1) I don't know how to find the size of the array, so the function has to be given the length of the array. How can I find an array's size?Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; char dynChar(char* a, int size){ char* b = new char[size]; for (int i=0; i<size; i++) b[i] = a[i]; return *b; delete[] b; } int main(){ char c[] = "Hello world!"; char d[] = dynChar(c,13); //line 14, with the error cout << d; return 0; }
2) It won't compile. It gives an error at line 14, saying the initializer can't determine the size of d. I don't really know what that means. Could someone help me out with this?

The Sister Wives are Engaged!
The only cure for love sickness, is another marriage! Tonight, Kody got engaged to his adorable fourth wife Robyn, and we learned that even polygamist wives get a little jealous.
Courting a wife is apparently a quick process, because the four-months that Robyn and Kody have been dating is considered unusually long. Due to the tension that Kody's traveling to see Robyn has caused, she and her three children picked up to move closer to Kody and the sister wives.
It is shocking how relatable, and even likable, the women are on the show. It isn't until they start talking about their plural marriage that you realize how little you really do have in common with them.

Garland aims to put questions to rest
Rested righty takes the mound for pivotal Game 3
By Jesse Sanchez / MLB.com
Garland will be making his first appearance in the postseason and his first start since allowing two runs on four hits in 6 2/3 innings against Cleveland on Oct. 1.
"I've just been real anxious to get on the mound," Garland said. "I want to get out there on the field and help my team to the best of my ability. I've kind of been sitting back watching and cheerleading a little bit. It's been great because I love watching these guys play, but at the same time, I'm anxious to get out there and try and do my part."
What Garland has seen from the bench is quite a bit. He watched as fellow starters Jose Contreras, Mark Buerhle, and Freddy Garcia stymied the Red Sox in three games for the sweep in the American League Division Series. He had a front row seat for Contreras' stellar performance in Game 1 of the ALCS and Buehrle's splendid outing in Game 2.
His time has come. Or has it?
"I think about it a lot," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "One of the biggest reasons we moved him to third [in the ALCS rotation], not fourth, is because I don't want him to have another day off. Hopefully, this kid throws the ball well."
Garland posted an 18-10 record with a 3.50 ERA in 32 starts during the regular season. He established a career high in wins, innings pitched (221), ERA, strikeouts (115) and complete games (three).
After going 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in April, Garland earned his first All-Star selection on the strength of a 13-4 record and a 3.38 ERA in the first half. The right-hander ran into a few more rough patches down the stretch, though. He went 4-6 with a 3.70 ERA after the break, including a 1-4 mark in August.
"April was the best month he had, and he was well rested," Guillen said. "That's the way I look at it, always positive. He had trouble in July, August, September, where for those months he was really struggling during that period of time. In April, May and June he was good because he was fresh. Hopefully, my philosophy works and helps him."
"With me, it seems sometimes my sinker is better when I'm tired," he said. "Hopefully a long layoff and not being on the mound doesn't make me too strong and takes away from the movement of the ball."
Pitching. Angels. Time off. Garland has a lot to think about so forgive him if he refuses to get nostalgic about Friday's start. He grew up in Southern California and was almost traded to the Angels for Darin Erstad before the 2002 season, but he chooses to focus on the task at hand instead of reminiscing about the past.
"I just want to pitch, I don't care where it's at," Garland said. "I want to get on the mound and do the best I can for my team."
It's time.

Secondary Sources: Discouraging Work, Potential Output, Economics of Love
A roundup of economic news from around the Web.
–Discouraging Work, Saving: Gene Steuerle looks at how some tax and transfer programs discourage work and saving. " Economists and many policymakers generally agree that our tax and transfer systems should promote opportunity, work, saving, and education rather than consumption. The problem is these programs often penalize people for earning that extra dollar of income. Rather than promoting work and savings, these implicit taxes punish such otherwise positive behavior. These penalties occur in TANF (formerly welfare), SNAP (formerly Food Stamps), Medicaid, the new health exchange subsidy, Pell grants, student loans, and unemployment compensation. The tax code also is loaded with disincentives to work, save, and study. They include PEP and Pease (reductions in tax allowances for personal exemptions and itemized deductions), child tax credits, and the earned income tax credit. These implicit taxes combine with explicit taxes to create incentives for many households that are often inefficient and inequitable, to say nothing of strange and anomalous."
–Potential Output: Brad DeLong charts the change in potential output before and after the recession. "Looking at this graph tells me that: Real GDP fell relative to potential output by 8% in 2008-2009… Real has stayed 8% below its previous growth path ever since… The CBO is now forecasting that real GDP will return to potential output as of the end of 2017… The CBO is now forecasting that, come the end of 2017, the economy's full-employment productive potential will be 8% below what CBO was forecasting in 2007… Suppose we attribute the slowdown in the growth of the economy's productive potential to the impact of the downturn–to diminished risk-taking, slack investment, and unemployed workers losing and not acquiring skills. And what else could it be due to? That means that staying an average of 4% below potential GDP for nine years–a cumulative shortfall output gap of 36 percentage point-years–reduces potential GDP by 8%… In the reduced-form model that DeLong and Summers presented in 2012 at the Brookings Panel on Economic Activity, that is a value of η of 0.22–one that puts us in the very unusual situation (that I do not believe the U.S. has ever been before, and do not believe I will ever see again) in which attempts to reduce the budget deficit today by cutting spending now actually make the long-run deficit and debt problem arose." Joe Weisenthal presents an even more depressing chart from the euro zone, via economist Philippe Waechter of Natixis.
–Economics of Love: Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers dive into the economics of love for Valentine's Day. "The good news: Ours is a loving world. On a typical day, about 70 percent of people worldwide reported a love-filled day. In the U.S., 81 percent felt love, as did 81 percent of Canadians and 79 percent of Italians. Germany and the U.K. were less loving, with slightly less than 3 in 4 people reporting feeling loved. Surprisingly, the same was true of the supposedly romantic French. And if you're in Japan, please hug someone: Only 59 percent of Japanese said they had experienced love the previous day."

DETROIT - Members of the Local 4 family salute their mom's in celebration of Mother's Day.
Guy Gordon
My mother has so many fine virtues, but the one I'll forever be thankful to her for is her un-ceasing curiosity. She was forever finding fun new things to do and read when I was a child. She nurtured that same sense of insatiable curiosity in me--a vital ingredient in any reporter.
She also had a limitless capacity for spending time with me: lunches in the park, trips to the library and museum, and an ability to make the most commonplace moments fun and funny. I'm so lucky to still have her in my life. She's a wonderful friend to my wife and a silly Grammy to my children. Bless you, Mom.
Karen Drew
Oh, I could go on and on on why my mom is so special to me. She truly showed and continues to show me love, support, guidance, and encouragement. I got my self confidence from my mother who made me believe I could do ANYTHING I set my mind to accomplish. I always knew she was my safety net and always knew her love would protect me. On top of that I have had so many FUN times with my mom … from shopping trips, to visits to the theatre, to traveling, to late night talks she has always been my rock.
Watch: Roger Weber opens up about his mother
Ashlee Baracy
When I think of my mother I think of love in its truest form. My parents' marriage exemplifies the type of love I hope to find and my mothers' love for me is greater than words can describe. I can only hope to be half the woman she is someday. My mom's heart is incredibly big and she wears it on her sleeve; befriending everyone she meets. She is my inspiration, role model and best friend. To be honest, I envy her patience and I know I don't tell her nearly enough how wonderful she is. Her inner beauty radiates and although I may not always show it, I do not take our relationship for granted. She is the first person I want to share my successes with and the first person I turn to for a hug when I fall short. Through good times and bad, I wouldn't trade her for the world. She gave me life and life's greatest gift, love.
Andrew Humphrey
My mom is my inspiration and guiding light. She encouraged me to do what I love in life, which is why I become a meteorologist. I discovered my passion for weather and helping people with her full, infinite support. I love her more than words can describe. Happy Mothers' Day!
Paul Gross
My mother, Marion Gross, is someone who all of us...my siblings and friends...all looked up to. Until around age 12, that is. You see, my mom is 4'10", and she was the measuring stick for all of us! Being taller than an adult is always a big deal for a kid, and Mom was always the first one. She accepted the height jokes with her usual good cheer and effervescent smile; even the "shrimp" jokes! Now that my two sons have grown taller than Grandma Marion, she's sitting back waiting to spoil some great-grandchildren...and watch them grow! Happy Mother's Day to my favorite little shrimp. I love you, Mom!
Mara MacDonald
Everyone falls in love with my mom from the guy behind the meat counter to any number of high powered executives. It's simple, she is everything that is gracious, kind and above all, fun. This is the woman who told me to "make no small plans" from a very young age. Who emphasized that anyone could be pretty but being smart was better by far. My earliest memories are of the two of us perched in an Eames chair, reading stories. It's why I'm a voracious reader today. When I told my parents that I wanted a career in TV post college she looked at me and told me to go for it and to have no fear. "You get out of life what you're willing to settle for", she said. She's right. Today the two of us have a great time whether we're at the grocery store or off on a trip someplace fabulous. Although I do blame her for one thing: I was always spiffed up as a child, today that's translated to a love of shoes and handbags that may be a tad excessive. I tell myself it's ok, though, because we share.
Chauncy Glover
I'm 27 years old and I'm not ashamed to admit, my mom is one of my best friends! We talk at least four times a day--everyday.This woman! She still sends me care packages with all my favorite things in them. She makes the best sweet potato pie in the world! And she is as sweet as the pie! This woman!! She's my number one fan!! She watches ALL of my news reports. She tells me when she doesn't like my tie! This woman! She prays for me everyday. I can't remember a day going by without hearing her say,"I love you Chauncy." When my brother died--she held me and I held her. Just last month, we wiped each others tears away! She's soooo kind and thoughtful. She's stern and strict, yet so gentle. My dad calls her quiet strength a blessing to the family. This woman!! She makes me think! She keeps me laughing. Unlike ex- girlfriend's, this woman gets me! And loves me no matter what!! This woman! This woman! My dear mother Sherry!!Ji
Jamie Edmonds
My mom, Harriet, is one of the sweetest people I know. She would do anything for anyone and she's done so much for me. She was the mom in the classroom with treats for my birthdays, or the parent chaperone for class field trips. She was the mom who went shopping with me for dresses for high school dances and was always there for me to talk when I needed to.
Now that I'm grown up and living away from home, she's still there for me for whatever I need and we talk almost every day. I want to thank my mom for everything she's done and tell her how much I appreciate it. Love you, mom!
Lauren Podell
My mother, Sue Podell, has always been my best friend. As an only child, she was (and still is) that "girlfriend" I confide in, shop with and of course learn from. My mom is the rock of our family - holds everything together, always balancing what life throws at her with ease. That strength is something I've always admired and strive to do in my life.
She's taught me everything: how to have a thick skin, how to pick out the perfect gift for someone, what it takes to be a good wife and that you always know a good restaurant by their salad :)
My favorite memories with my mom are from when we planned my wedding. Those are moments I will never forget. She is the reason, I hope one day, to have a daughter of my own so I can have the same bond and special friendship that I cherish so much with my mom.
Rod Meloni
Anne Meloni was the modern woman long before it was fashionable. She has always been strong willed, independent, tough, hardworking, dedicated to her family and above all a loving Christian woman. You could also call her the original "church lady" but in the best meaning of the term not the Dana Carvey caricature. She raised four children while running our church religious education program and worked equally hard at both.
She later went on to become the department head of the religious education department at Bishop Feehan High School in Attleboro, Massachusetts. She is retired now and enjoying the rest she worked so hard to earn. Yet even in her late 70's she still teaches a class every now and then.
Yet for all that she did, all of the programs she wrote and executed flawlessly, I best remember her as a loving, caring, demanding, no-nonsense mom. You sat up straight, you didn't talk back, you treated everyone else around you with respect, you worked hard at everything you did, demanded the best of yourself, worked hard in school and made certain you did nothing to stain the family name.
She was always watching and always one step ahead of us. She made certain we had fun things to do. She was an All-State softball player in high school, my dad was an artist. So, it was my mother who taught me how to throw a baseball, hit a baseball and made certain I was a good sport. It was my mother who guided me through Cub Scouts [she was the leader], through Boy Scouts and fed me and cared for me while I grumpily worked the overnight shift at a Providence, Rhode Island radio station paying my way through college and living in her basement. That required patience and a deep understanding of how badly her son wanted to succeed in his career.
And for all of that first rate parenting, she was a better grandmother to my children. She and my father would visit us wherever we lived, in Florida, in Saginaw, Michigan in Detroit. They lived in Massachusetts but always found a way to come see us several times a year and they spent hours and hours with my children helping them learn the same lessons they taught me. My mom is a widow now, and yet she is always happy.
We speak on the phone all the time and get together whenever possible [though it's been less lately]. Still, I can honestly say I would not be where or what I am as a person without her guidance. Happy Mother's Day Mom!
Will Jones
I know there is a God because he chose the perfect woman to be in charge of guiding me into the man I am at this moment and the man I will be in the future. I must admit it is hard to put in words how much my mom, Marlinda, means to me. Words cannot properly describe the impact she has had in my life. It is immeasurable. One of the greatest gifts my mom gave me is empathy and that has helped me tremendously as a journalist covering disadvantaged communities and people who are experiencing intense emotional pain. There's not a day that goes by that I don't talk to my mom. I don't want to take our time on this earth together for granted. I love you, Mom! Happy Mother's Day.

Rule # 2 of looking hot while smoking: You kinda have to be a dirty, grungy "I don't give a shit" kind-of guy. Plus being a musician helps.So true, girls - so true! Read the rest of the Rules at Letters to Rob.
Is the cigarette interchangeable? Could it be anything? Could the already hot guy who is a dirty, grungy musician be holding a teddy bear and it still be hot? No. Definitely not. I think there is danger behind a cigarette. It's like the hot smoker is screaming "Eff you cancer, heart disease & emphysema, I'm DOING this." It's rebellious- it's dangerous. It's hot.
Making smoking adorkable.
Now, neither LTR or we TCAs are condoning smoking, and I have never been a smoker... but hot damn, this boy makes me wanna! What IS that?! I'm 27, I'm sensible, I think smoking's a dirty habit... but he makes it look sooo good!
All that finger-lingering next to his lips, sucking as he tastes the smoke, exaggerating the jawsomeness whilst he looks up from under the long lashes of his broody gaze and the sex hair falls to one side *ahem* it's basically porn! Did you SEE the Haunted Airman? It made me wanna light-up and not just from all the smoking!
All I can conclude is, although this can't be good for the tween-lighters (oh, the layers of irony!) if I was at hot as Rob, I'd probably be a chainey too!
- Lorabell
As I've said before, I just wanna be that cigarette. -- TCA (who doesn't even know how to hold a cigarette or which end to smoke) :-)

I apologize for the lapel pin comment. My intention is not to slander Shambhala International, or its training seminars, in any way.Jikan wrote:I'm interested in Trungpa's insistence that students of Dharma not seek credentials. It's a brilliant insight. This has value in internet discussions as well, especially when they become circular.
One might suspect they give lapel pins for students who have accomplished the art of "setting the spiritual materialists straight" on one side, or pearl-clutching indignation at the life he led. Each of these positions is repeated and reiterated. Occasionally, a new nuance is added, or a new detail, but mostly it's the repetitive beating of one dead horse or another in order to establish oneself in one position or another.
I'm basing this observation partially on this thread (which is actually a pretty good one by comparison to others... I'm not calling anyone in this thread to the carpet here), old threads on e-sangha and elsewhere, and the contents of my PM box whenever I have to moderate a Trungpa-related thread.
For myself, I find much to admire in Trungpa's teachings. His books have been very, very, very helpful to me, and I feel intensely grateful for them. I don't know what to make of the totality of his conduct and projects, or those of his successors.
I do think I'm onto something though about the continued relevance of the "credentialing oneself" business.

Police continue to search for two suspects in a Thursday night robbery and beating that sent a man to the hospital.
One suspect was arrested shortly after he sped away from deputies and crashed into a car and then a ditch on New Savannah Road.
The victim, Benjamin Franklin Rhodes, 39, was arrested after his release from the hospital on a child support superior court bench warrant.
According to a news release, deputies were called about 8:30 p.m. to the 900 block Cedar Street where they discovered Rhodes badly beaten. The Rhodes told police he'd been assaulted by his roommate Michael Gibson, 23, his brother, Freddie Gibson, 22, and Charles Kellam, 21. The three also took his car, Rhodes said.
Lt. Calvin Chew said the motive appears to be robbery.
Kellam was booked into Richmond County jail on charges of armed robbery, possession of a knife or firearm during the commission of a crime, aggravated assault, false imprisonment and theft by taking.
Police continue to search for the Gibson brothers, who will face the same charges.

It's no surprise, at least to a great many basketball fans in the Arkansas River Valley, that Dederick Lee was voted the 2012 Tri-County Boy's Basketball Player of the Year, his second such honor in as many years. What was surprising to some? It was far from unanimous.
After collecting 12 of 13 votes last year, Lee netted only eight votes in 2012 as Russellville's Grey Harris (4 votes) and Jeffrey Spikes of Danville (1 vote) gave him a run for his money. And while Lee's scoring numbers dropped a bit in 2012, the junior said it has as much to do with the level of talent in the area as with his percieved drop in production.
"There's a lot of talent [in the River Valley]," Lee said. "Most people outside the area don't think there's a lot of talent around here, but they're here."
And as for his "drop in production" — Lee's scoring numbers dropped from 26.5 points per game in 2011 to 21.3 in 2012 — head coach Tony Davis said there's a reason the Arkansas Razorbacks commitment has seen a drop in his points.
"When you only play three quarters out of a game, you're going to go from about 27-28 [points per game] to about 20-21 pretty quickly," the coach said.
Another reason his scoring went down a bit was the full-time addition to the team of Freddy and Kendrick, Dederick's younger twin brothers, along with Jerren Thompson and transfer Deven Simms. And while his points per game went down, his efficiency is still there. Lee shot 51 percent from the field, 85 percent at the free-throw line and an astounding 45 percent from behind the three-point arc.
"It [production] changed because we've got a lot of good players, my brothers got better and Deven, Deven's a good player," Lee said. "He's like me, we have the same abilities. So I had to work on my passing more this year. I didn't have to score a lot for us to win this year."
In fact, Lee averaged an assist (6.1) and a rebound (5.9) more per game than he did in 2011 and, like Davis said, he did it in significantly fewer minutes than a year before.
"The best part of his game is his ability to distribute the basketball," Davis said. "He delivers the ball at the right time, when it needs to be there. With Deven on board, and of course with Freddy and Kendrick and Jerren up all year long, along with Zac [Stumbaugh] and Trey [Norris] and Preston [South], he had a lot of weapons he could trust."
Lee and company led the Panthers to its second straight Class 4A state title in 2012, but it wasn't Dederick who earned tournament MVP honors. That went to little brother Freddy after an amazing performance by the sophomore in the title game.
"I knew he was going to get it," Lee said. "I told him in the middle of the game, I was like, 'Freddy, you got it. You're going hard. Good job.' I was happy my brother got it."
One of the biggest improvements in Lee's game this year came on the defensive side of the ball, Davis said.
"He reads the lanes well," the coach continued. "We like to gamble a little bit and he got stronger defensively. One reason I think is because he had more weapons he could trust on the offensive end, so he didn't think he had to score 30 for us to win. He could score 15 and know that if he could get some stops on the other end we would be fine. So, he was able to extend more effort on the defensive end. He's stronger now, he's quicker. He's been in the system for three years and knows what is expected of him."
But defense isn't what Davis thinks makes Lee such a special player."What I love about him the most — aside from the fact that he's going to be playing with us for another year — is my boys love him," he said. "My 8-year-old and my 6-year-old love him. If you ask them who their favorite basketball player is, they don't say LeBron or D-Wade. They say Dederick. They say Freddy. They [my kids] say these kids [are their favorites], and I think that says volumes about the character of these kids."
And Davis added he felt the Tri-County Player of the Year award means more to Lee and himself. Unlike many other awards, the Tri-County awards are voted on by coaches, not media. While The Courier staff holds two votes for the award, 11 votes come from area high school coaches in their sport.
"To me, it's the biggest honor you can have," Davis said. "Coaches know the role he's had on the sport in this area. He's a special player."
How they voted
Dederick Lee, Clarksville — 8
Grey Harris, Russellville — 4
Jeffrey Spikes, Danville — 1

A YouTube video of a Duncanville, Texas, student's rant at his teacher has gone viral this week.
The student, identified by YouTube viewers and fellow students as Jeff Bliss, is seen in the video unloading his frustration on his teacher about her ineffective teaching methods.
The original video, shot by a classmate on a cellphone, was posted on YouTube and then removed.
It has since been posted on another website, and has received over 300,000 views as of 10 p.m. Wednesday.
In the footage, the student says, "If you would just get up and teach them instead of handing them a freaking packet, yo. There's kids in here that don't learn like that. They need to learn face to face. I'm telling you what you need to do."
The rant continues for nearly a minute and a half until the teacher tells the student to leave the classroom.
Duncanville ISD has released the following statement:
"We want our students and teachers to be engaged, but the method by which the student expressed his concern could have been handled in a more appropriate way."
The student was apparently unaware that his rant was being recorded, but says he is not ashamed of what he said.
So far, he has not been disciplined by the school for his remarks.20080566

Green Building
USGBC, GBI discuss differences in green building certification programs
As Washington, D.C., becomes the first major city to mandate developers to adhere to green building standards, the push to build green is becoming more and more evident throughout the country. During today's OnPoint, Michelle Moore, vice president of community at the U.S. Green Building Council, and Vicki Worden, head of commercial programs at the Green Building Initiative, outline the differences between their organizations' green building certification systems. They discuss why they believe Congress should incentivize the design and construction of green buildings and fund research associated with building green. Moore and Worden also address controversy surrounding the inclusion of wood in the green building certification process.

There have been those wondering about the prospect of acquiring Rudy Fernandez on here. This is the latest from Isola.
Blazers source says Rudy Fernandez has list of 4 teams he wants to be traded to and yes Knicks are one of them. Knicks lead NBA in lists[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Blazers source says team would trade Rudy but Knicks don't have anything they like.
No doubt they want a back up 2 guard in return to play behind Roy. The best we'd have to offer is Azabuike.

Flags and flyovers as city prepares for Australia Day
Fireworks, flyovers and flags will be among the events marking Australia Day in Melbourne on Saturday, with mild and cloudy conditions expected for the long weekend.
Victoria Police, meanwhile, have promised a blitz on popular holiday areas such as the Mornington Peninsula, Surf Coast and Yarra Ranges to limit the number of road deaths.
There are 17 official events scheduled for Melbourne on Saturday, with the official Australia Day flag-raising ceremony beginning at 10.30am at Melbourne Town Hall. Governor of Victoria Alex Chernov will lead the Australia Day affirmation and oversee the raising of the Australian flag.
At 2pm, he Royal Australian Air Force's elite aerobatic team, the Roulettes, will give an aerial flyover and display over the Domain Parklands.
The finale of celebrations will be fireworks at 9.40pm, best viewed from the banks of the Yarra River, Federation Square and Birrarung Marr.
The weather for the next three days in Melbourne will be mild, with showers for Sunday and Monday, and maximum temperatures between 23 and 24 degrees.
There is no forecast rain for the next week beyond showers. Melbourne's last days of decent rainfall were on December 14 and 15 respectively, when 6.4 millimetres and 6.6 millimetres fell.
Holidaymakers heading out of Melbourne over the long weekend will face an increased police presence. Victoria Police are running Operation Limit until the end of February across 16 high-risk areas in an effort to limit road trauma.
"This weekend we'll be focusing our attention on areas that are popular day trip and camping destinations and will attract high volumes of traffic such as the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong," said Assistant Commissioner for Road Policing Robert Hill.
"In previous years, visitors and holiday makers unfamiliar with the local area and roads appear to have contributed to higher number of nose-to-tail collisions.
"Police from the Solo Unit will conduct on and off-road motorcycle patrols in areas including the Yarra Ranges and Surf Coast which are popular with recreational motorcyclists and campers. Traditionally there are a number of collisions that occur on tourist routes and winding roads in these areas."

FIVE Foods To Eat Whilst Gaming
Playing a video game can be hard work at times. No matter what game you're ploughing through there are times when you just need to replenish those energy levels. After completing a tough mission, winning a match after extra-time or finally levelling up, it's time to put the controller down and go eat! The whole argument over gamers not moving and sitting on their backside for hours and hours eating junk is old and tiresome. If someone wants to do that then it's their choice, but I'll keep clear of that argument.
I've gone for foods that may help to get your fix whilst gaming, although I wouldn't eat them all at the same time! There is even some science in there too. Oh, and no, I'm not going to write about food-related games like Hell's Kitchen.

In their appeal, the tenants claim that the hearing examiner committed legal errors by: (1) not ruling that they are entitled to four parking spaces as part of their rent, (2) not holding the landlord responsible for rent ceiling violations committed by the prior master tenant, (3) miscalculating the rent decrease for defective heating, (4) not granting a rent decease for the lack of an on-site resident manager, (5) not reducing the rent for illegal internal walls created by the former master tenant, (6) miscalculating the rent reductions by not considering reductions in services and an alleged fraud committed by the landlord's former manager and the former master tenant, and (7) not taking into account the landlord's alleged statutory violations and unlawful eviction attempts.

THE LANGUAGE SHOULD BE MODIFIED TO READ AS FOLLOWS: "However, Mr. Duong resided in the unit for several years prior to signing the September 6, 2004 lease. and, in any case, none of the petitioners moved in within one month of that date, so it appears that this provision does not apply. In any case, Nevertheless, the landlords ultimately accepted Mr. Dubey and Mr. DeWitt as original tenants and accepted rent at the rent-controlled rent ceiling." Roll call vote. Yes: Blake, Chong, Harrison, Kavanagh, Overman, Stephens, Walden, Webster, Arreguin. Passed: 9-0-0-0.

Like the weather this month, Lynnwood's Rudy Caparas has been hot, winning both the Wesco 4A Tournament and the 4A Northwest District 1 Championships with blistering scores.
The weather may have taken a drastic turn for the worse Tuesday, but Caparas managed to remain red hot.
The Royals golfer battled poor conditions — although his early tee time did manage to keep him away from the rain — to shoot a 2-under-par 70 that put him in a five-way tie for first place after Day 1 of the 4A Boys State Golf Championships at Camas Meadows Golf Course.
For the full results of all the state golf championships, click here.
"If I could think of one word for Rudy's round it would be grinding. He just grinded," Lynnwood head coach Alex Pfeiffer said. "He was even on the front nine and hit a number of clutch par putts and then he really put it together on the back."
After shooting 37 on the front, Caparas shot a 33 on the final nine holes, including birdies on holes 16 and 18 despite the fact it started to rain toward the end of his round. For the second week in a row, Caparas finds himself tied for the lead going into the final round. After finishing the first round of districts tied with Kamiak's Chris Hatch, the Lynnwood junior shot a 71 to win the tournament.
"If you look at last week you can see what he does as a frontrunner," Pfeiffer said. "Nothing seems to faze him."
Caparas is tied with Union's Eddie Abellar, Bellarmine Prep's Greg Gildea, Eastlake's Li Wang and Camas' Brian Humphreys, who has the luxury of playing on his home course this week.
Lurking just three shots back is the defending state champ, Jackson's Kyle Cornett, who is in a five-way tie for seventh after shooting a 73. The Timberwolves senior shaved three strokes off his front nine score by shooting a 35 on the back nine despite inclement conditions.
"I told him I'm just going to start calling him the 'Rain Man,' " said Jackson head coach Jim Anderson of Cornett, who shot a 71 on the final day of state last year despite rainy conditions at Hidden Valley G.C. in Spokane. "I said, 'You really must love the rain.' "
Cornett teed off two hours later than Caparas and was battling rain over the final nine holes. But he seemed to settle down and get better as the round went on, especially after making a big shot on the 10th hole to get out of trouble.
Anderson said Cornett's history should give him confidence going into today's final round. Besides winning state wire-to-wire last year, Cornett also came from behind to win Egbers and won the Dolan Invitational this year in a playoff.
"Kyle is so competitive and so mature," Anderson said. "He knows what he needs to do."
The only other local golfers to make the cut, which was set at 80, were Kamiak's Chris Hatch (76), Arlington's Anthony Allen (77), Snohomish's Luke Kuna (77) and Monroe's Owen Fenner (80).
Kamiak's hopes to defend its state championship were dashed when two of its three golfers missed the cut. Steven Cabanday shot an 82 and Matt Kornegay finished with a 90.
3A Boys
If the conditions for the 4A boys weren't good, than the 3A boys' conditions were downright awful at Ridgefield Golf Course just up Interstate-5.
But despite playing in a rainy and windy conditions, two Glacier Peak golfers had strong rounds and have the Grizzlies in contention to win their first boys golf state title. Ben Richards shot a 71 and is a shot behind the leader, Juanita's Frank Garber, and teammate Conner Denessen shot a 73, good enough for a three-way tie for fifth.
Denessen teed off at 8:42 a.m. and missed the rain on his front nine, but Richards, who teed off at 9:36 a.m., played his entire round in the brunt of the storm. In fact after Denessen's group teed off no golfer broke 76 besides Richards.
"I've never seen (Ben) play that tough before," said Glacier Peak coach Jeff Cornish, who added that Tuesday's conditions were the worst he'd ever seen at a state tournament.
Glacier Peak will be battling Interlake (three golfers in the top 13), O'Dea (three golfers in the top 20), and Hanford (four golfers in the top 36) for the state title. Mt. Spokane, Seattle Prep and Bishop Blanchet all have three golfers that made the cut but would be considered serious longshots to win state.
One thing in the Grizzlies favor is the fact that top finishers are weighted more heavily, giving a team with two golfers that make the cut a real shot.
Cornish said he wouldn't be surprised if either of his boys got hot and won the tournament.
"If Conner's putter gets hot he's lights out," Cornish said. "He could win this whole thing.
"As for Ben he's real aggressive and he's playing very well so he's got a chance to shoot a real low round."
Other local finishers that made the cut, which was set at 81, included Shorecrest's Trent Jones (73), Stanwood's Halen Davis (78), Everett's Mike Simpson (80) and Shorewood's Stuart Schachle (81).
4A Girls
Jackson's Laura Gay shot an 83 and is in a four-way tie for 14th, 10 shots off the lead, after Day 1 of the 4A State Girls Golf Championships at Club Green Meadows in Vancouver.
Other local finishers that made the cut, which was set at 91, included Gay's teammate, Renee Kwak (89) and Lake Stevens' Julia Elton (91).
3A Girls
Glacier Peak had two golfers make the cut, Dani Durand and Alisa Wilson, who shot 90 and 93, respectively, on the par-73 Lewis River Golf Course.
Oak Harbor's Annie Leete shot a round of 79, but is nine shots off the lead after Columbia River's Chloe Bartek shot a 3-under-par 70 to take the lead.
Shorecrest's Audrey Penner, who shot a 93, was the only other local golfer to make the cut.
2A Boys
Granite Falls' Austin Berg shot an 81 and is in a six-way tie for 15th, but finds himself 11 shots off the lead after W.F. West's Brady Calkins shot a 70 on the first day of the 2A State Boys Golf Championships at Chambers Bay in University Place.
All three Archbishop Murphy golfers, Sean Goldfinch (87), Ben Thacker (88) and Quinn Stanley (91) all missed the cut, which was set at 86.
2A Girls
Lakewood's Nina Forsell is in a four-way tie for 14th after shooting a 92 on the first day of the 2A State Girls Golf Championships The Classic Golf Course in Spanaway.

Hi folks, I'm trying to implement the Miller Rabin Prime Test into C as an exercise and I was hoping you could give me a few pointers where to look for my mistake. The following Code should work if i understood the Algorithm correctly, but it sometimes(pretty often really) tags primes as nonprimes(or did the rules change and 17 isn't a prime anymore?).
Thanks for your timeCode:
long int a,a2,r2,n,d,x,k,j,r; //define variables
char input[17];
n = strtol (input,NULL, 10); //input number, make int from input
k = x = n-1; //split even and odd factors by:
while (r == 0 ){x = x/2; r = x%2;;} //find d by dividing through 2
d = x;
j = log (k/d) / log(2.0); //find exponent j from n-1= d* 2^j through log2 n-1/d = log2 of the even factor
printf("%ld -1 = %ld * 2^%ld",n,d,j);//show the odd and even factors
/* initialize random generator */
srand ( time(NULL) );
a = rand(); a = a % n; //make random integer form double rand(), make a [0,n-1]
r = rand(); r = r % j; //make random integer form double rand(), make r [0,j-1
a2 = pow(a,d);a = a2 % n; // a^d mod n
r2 = pow(a,(d * pow(2,r)));r = r2 % n;//a^d*2^r mod n
if (a == 1) {printf("Ist prim");} // is prime
else if (r*r == 1) {printf("Ist prim");} //is prime

A friendly rivalry? Maybe not, but Undercover Michigander surprised by lack of hostility before The Game
Daniel J. Brenner | AnnArbor.com
And nothing happened.
Surely, this moment would help propel the denizens of Columbus into a full-on, foaming-at-the-mouth rage. At any minute, I expected to see projectiles being hurled from all angles toward the poor members of the band, who would be left with nothing but their instruments to defend themselves.
But, nothing happened.
Maybe it's a sign the rivalry has cooled off the field, maybe it was a sign that it was just too cold to take hands out of pockets long enough to throw something at a Wolverine. At any rate, it was something resembling friendly outside of Ohio Stadium Saturday morning before the The Game between the University of Michigan and Ohio State University.
Daniel J. Brenner | AnnArbor.com
Cohen said he used to come to Columbus for the games quite often until the mid-1990s, when it just got to the point that he was too old to be confronting Buckeye fans. He returned with his son and nephew in 2009 expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised by how they were treated. After the Wolverines' victory in 2011, he thought the atmosphere would be a bit more hostile.
"I think there's been a concerted effort by the university and security to clean things up because it was really embarrassing," he said. "It was really hostile."
For the most part, Wolverine fans were greeted with indifference by their Ohio State hosts. Since I arrived in Columbus Friday evening, my spotting of Michigan fans in the city has been irregular at best. Maybe they were laying low before game time for fear of retribution, or they were just wearing neutral colors and trying not to stand out. Those I did see out and about got almost no hassle.
Sure, there were a few cries of "Go home!" or "Michigan sucks!" But, the amount of heckling was small compared to the number of maize and blue-clad fans walking with their scarlet-and-gray clad friends.
Somewhere, Bo and Woody were appalled at the congeniality.
Marcia Arnold and Patty Bodnar were part of the biggest group of Michigan fans I saw gathered in one place near the southwest corner of the Horseshoe. Arnold showed me some photos she had taken, including one in which she had the gall to find a statue of Brutus the Buckeye and put a maize and blue scarf around its neck.
"He looked cold," she reasoned.
Arnold's daughter is on the U-M Dance Team and Bodnar's daughter is the piccolo section leader in the Michigan Marching Band. They had heard the stories about Wolverine fans coming down to Columbus but neither reported being nervous about going into the Horseshoe for the game.
Bodnar said her daughter and her marching band compatriots had been hit by some ice balls at a Michigan-Ohio State hockey game in Columbus last year. Even though she and her friends had been treated well so far, she came prepared for the worst.
"We've got ponchos for protection from spit," she said with a laugh.
I would be surprised if they ended up needing them — while Urban Meyer and Brady Hoke have done their best to ratchet up intensity in the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry, it seems the fans are more and more willing to let the teams fight it out on the field instead of in the stands or in the parking lots. Even your humble correspondent has managed to avoid having his car wrecked by key-wielding Buckeyes thus far.
Of course, I'm writing this halfway through the first quarter and there's a lot of game left to be played at this point. The Michigan fans in Ohio Stadium — tucked away in a section that appears to be closer to Ann Arbor than the field of play — might yet experience some poor treatment by the sea of red surrounding them.
But, based on my experiences so far, I have to ask: Maybe it's not so bad in this town after all? Perhaps having two good programs on the field is all that it takes to calm fans down enough to the point that they don't want to kill each other any more?
We'll see, I suppose.

There is an explanation, but many here will not like it. You said it yourself, in the story. Michigan's dominance of the 90's, was too much to bear. Many top 5 Buckeye teams fell to the Wolverines on an annual basis. My son, and myself went to the 2000 game (thank God, John Cooper's last season). We are both Buckeye fans, but we were embarrassed by the treatment of Michigan fans. I also agree, with one of the post here. It was the rednecks, not students screaming at the wolverine fans. Since my little buddy, with the sweater vest turned the tide; I think OSU fans have simmered down.....I know it was hard on me, watching Cooper choke with better teams. LOL
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 : 7:49 p.m.
I've never gone down to Columbus for any game (or purpose). No need to: I have a TV and live in Ann Arbor so I get to see every game in better detail, under better conditions than any stadium attendee. It should be fairly clear: if anything, the market for stadium attendance will likely diminish over time. Add in negative inducements like hostility toward you based on which team you favor - it's a no brainer. There's an old military dictum which goes: "Never get into a war you can't win." Potentially, fans visiting an opposing team's stadium are going to be out numbered to a point where they couldn't possibly win any kind of confrontation - so why risk it by putting yourself in that situation? Just showing up to show your support is likely interpreted as a defiant intrusion onto "sacred ground" (sacred to the other side). Yes, football is great (and very successful) entertainment - but that doesn't mean it requires our personal presence or involvement. I'm sure TV producers would agree: the only fans allowed to attend football games are those who exclusively intend to act as volunteer cheer leaders for "their" teams. Crowds are colorful and a necessary part of the football background - background it the true role of any rational fan.

As a Notre Dame and Michigan alumnus, I attend at least 1 game each Saturday during the football season. I was in Columbus yesterday wearing my Michigan regalia and was treated civilly by all I encountered. Many times I heard "Thanks for coming". Contrast this to what I encounter every time I wear my ND regalia to U of M stadium where I have been spat upon, doused with beer, or had my game view obstructed by the person in front of me who stood for the entire game just to spite me. No visitor to South Bend is treated in this fashion. As a 45 year U of M season ticket holder and donor, I finally said enough is enough and did not renew my Michigan football season tickets. It's time for the Michigan faithful to "grow up" and stop such boorish behavior. Perhaps if the Michigan fans behave better, the Wolverines will play better. If the Buckeyes can do it, so can we.
Thinkin' it Over
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 : 6:26 p.m.
My Sparty daughter and her friends were repeatedly harassed by "Michigan men" after the UM/MSU game this year. These "men" thought it was cool to lean into the girls' faces and call them vulgar, sexist names. Their parents would not be proud. My Michigan daughter has been embarrassed and disgusted by the treatment she has witnessed students from other schools receive from some Michigan students. OSU is not the only school with jerks who have a lot to learn about what it means to have class.
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 : 5:42 p.m.
I, too, have been to every Big Ten venue multiple times with the exception of Nebraska. It appears that Mr. Feldscher has sufficiently insulated himself from the true experience by refusing to wear maize and blue in his random and apparently untargeted stroll through Columbus. I find it telling that the picture this article shows a UM fan walking down the street bundled in a red coat. On my last trip to Columbus I put a OSU sticker on my car for protection. The fact that I my was undamaged hardly serves as proof Buckeye fans are benign. Mr Feldscher's reporting rings as true as Dick Morris analyzing the electoral college. I notice your most recent tweet says that your car was damaged. Perhaps your Michigan plates was your only mistake in going completely incognito and gave you your only window into the real experience,
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 : 5:02 p.m.
If you do not wear Maize and Blue what kind of fan are you in the first place? Wear the colors and you will find out that there is no shortage haters. Have not missed a game in ohio since the early 80's. The bs has not stopped or changed. I have been to all the B1G stadiums multiple times and even though ohio fans sling a lot of crap they are not as bad as the msu fans. My experience of going to away games over 40 years puts msu fans as worst with osu a close second. Michigan fans get darts thrown at them all the time regardless of location because we represent a winning and for the most part a dominant program even with the blips along the way.
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 : 2:34 p.m.
If you refuse to wear UM gear to experience what it's really like because of your MSU loyalties your report is worthless.

Mon, Nov 26, 2012 : 4:07 p.m.
Well guys, this is just one man's experience (with the added observations of a few others). It's not a stretch to imagine there are other people who had a poor experience before the game in Columbus. I did write another column on my experiences in Columbus this weekend that published yesterday. http://www.annarbor.com/news/undercover-michiganders-columbus-experience-slightly-changes-after-car-is-victimized/ Thanks for reading.

I completely agree with Frank. This wasn't the story I was expecting at all. My wife and I went to a game in Columbus once and could sit and tell you stories for hours about the incidents that we endured. We weren't even allowed to enter a certain restaurant because of our Wolverines attire. Of course you didn't experience the same hostilities since you weren't dressed as a Wolverine. This could have been a truly enlightening story; instead, it's a huge let-down.
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 : 2:19 a.m.
Hmm...I think you didn't go to the areas where the harassment is so bad its pathetic -- but I think there are other things at play as well.. 1) The majority of Michigan folks who used to flock down to the game no longer go because of two things: tired of the hostility over the years, and lack of tickets -- about ten years ago, UM stopped allotting a full complement of tickets to OSU, and the next season OSU followed suit and stopped giving a full complement of tickets to UM. The couple hundred tickets they release to family and high donors aren't the target market of hostility. In my many years of attending every UM game at OSU, the fans inside the stadium have never been the problem. 2) The problems at OSU don't stem from the fans in general. I grew up in Ohio, and gamedays (especially against UM and PSU) are "farmers holidays" -- the majority of people that flock to tailgate in Columbus are not students, alumni, nor do they have tickets. Hundreds of thousands of rednecks flock to downtown Columbus to tailgate and party. For awhile, Columbus tried to stop this influx of non-ticket holders...but the city bar and restaurant owners have a strong lobby and this has increased over the years. This isn't new -- it's been going on since I was in college 30 years ago. Its just gotten worse, louder, more alcohol infused, and less civil. Woe be to the Michigan fan who parks in one of those outlying farmers holiday lots. 3) Two years from now, don't go to the nice, quiet organized events that you visited in cognito...Go wander Olentangy River Road and its offshoots...go to the area around the arena...go wander College and the area on 17th and 18th streets...and I guarantee you a VERY different point of view.
Sat, Nov 24, 2012 : 9:37 p.m.
No fans are worse than UM fans, in my experience.
Sat, Nov 24, 2012 : 9:31 p.m.
Kyle - I've been on this divide for 30 years. Raised a half hour from the stadium and chose to attend a Michigan college and stayed after I graduated. My perception is that, by far, the fan behavior on the Michigan side has been worse. Everyone has anaecdotes, stories to tell and legends to build - I get that but really, poor fan behavior, inclulding walking out on your own team if they are loosing, its far worse in the big house than in the shoe. The shoe is a happier place - it just is. The big house is way more commercial and a bit more up tight. Now that being said, I know that Michigan plates do get targeted on this weekend by law enforcement. I also know that we ignore the speedlimits here. So its kind of leaning into a punch when we drive 80 on US23 south.
Sat, Nov 24, 2012 : 6:55 p.m.
Kyle, are you wearing U of M gear? I think that would make a huge difference in your experience. But, glad to hear things don't seem to be as bad as in the past.
Sat, Nov 24, 2012 : 9:03 p.m.
Go Spartan Kyle ! LoL.

MMB95- I'm not. As a MSU grad, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I was following around some UM fans as I walked around campus, just kind of watching would happen to them, so that was my primary reference for the peaceful atmosphere. To paraphrase Meatloaf, I would do anything for journalism, but I won't do that.
Sat, Nov 24, 2012 : 6:45 p.m.
It's a football game. At some point people need to realize that this is entertainment, not life or death.
