Michigan State is deserving all the credit it is receiving for beating Michigan Saturday. It still doesn't mask how far the Wolverines have fallen for reasons that make little sense.
When you have a defense with that type of blue chip talent and experience, how can being burned for so many big plays be explained? And it wasn't as if Michigan did a solid job stopping the run. Javon Ringer had a huge game.
Michigan's offense isn't good, but did do enough to win many games - if the defense was solid. Michigan's defense was anything but solid Saturday. That's the perplexing part about the Wolverines' downfall. It's understandable to a degree when the discussion involves the offense because of the quarterback situation and inexperience. The same can't be said for the defense. And it does point to an ominous sign that Rich Rodriguez may not be what he was billed.
- The World Series the last three years has always had some last-to-first element to it. The team that was poor the season before (the Tigers, Colorado, Tampa Bay) hasn't fared well once in the spotlight of the series. It doesn't seem to me like the Rays will fall off after this like the Tigers and Rockies did, though. Seems to me like they will only get better. And teams have rallied from that 3-1 deficit before. It isn't over.
- Even though there were less than 55,000 at the Lions' game Sunday, they did get surprisingly loud when it was going well for the Lions. It was at the end I couldn't figure out. It was like half of the people left after the Lions fell behind - even if it was just by five points before the Redskins kicked a late field goal. It was as if just falling behind automatically means the Lions are going to lose.
- Have those who feel all Michigan's ills would have been cured if they had signed Terrelle Pryor, really watched him play that closely? He was brilliant against MSU, but otherwise has been average. Put Michigan's offense around him instead of Ohio State's - and Pryor wouldn't be nearly as effective. He hasn't played as well as his statistics suggest.
- Yeah. I do think Ringer deserves Heisman Trophy consideration. The front runner, though, has to be Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, doesn't he?
- Don't believe for a second Blair White's performance against U-M was a fluke. The kid is just a really player. He surprised no one within MSU's program Saturday.
The Blog is great! Wish you would post more often. I'll preface this by saying that I'm a Sparty and I hope that this isn't too long, but here is an observation after reading your post,, especially the last sentence (Ominous).
There was a school up the road you might know whose administration found themselves in a similar situation to the current one at U of M a few years ago. The school wanted to make a change from the previous regime, shake things up. The school hired a coach, with some controversy in his hiring, not the schools first choice, but someone who was a reputable, successful coach at his previous school. He ran a spread offense and well; let's just say an unconventional defense. Someone that did things "His way". This coach, he had a habit of losing his temper and blaming the players when things didn't go right during the game and after. Subsequently, many of the players left of their own choice, or were let go because they "Didn't fit the system". Even more disturbing is that he had problems getting key recruits in his own state and neighboring ones with known football talent to replace these players. Eventually as the team began to unravel amidst a sea of empty seats after a major stadium renovation, the coach was fired or quit, no one is really sure or cared at that point because the program was left in shambles until they eventually went back to their roots and traditions. Good luck Blue, it's going to be a rough few years.
Thank you anonymous/JeffC. I didn't realize it until he so cogently pointed it out. RichRod is John L. Smith, except more expensive and arrogant.
Michigan's defense is a big disappointment for the same reasons it was in 2005, the last 2 games of 2006, and now in 2008. The kids want to make the highlight reels instead of ensuring a solid tackle. This is to my mind a coaching failure. Please ask Scott Shafer how he plans to make them effective tacklers. Please confront any coach who says "we need to make a play." That is not an answer.
Keep going and pushing these guys.
I have to totally agree with you Pat on the ability of Blair White. Yes, he did drop a couple of balls ealier in the year against Northwestern but I think he is a solid player, one that defenses tend to look over when preparing to cover Dell and Cunningham.
Javon needs to have stats for each remaining game like he had against Michigan just to be invited to New York, but I don't think he has a chance at the Heismann against McCoy or Daniels or Bradford.
Thank God that Michigan's bogus first touchdown did not affect the result of the game. I was sitting at home screaming at the TV when the upstair's overturned the call. Funny how the ref responsible was a UM grad. Talk about home field advantage, this event was about as wierd as "CLockgate" back in 2001.
The comparison is different from this standpoint: John L. Smith didn't inherit the same kind of talent Rodriguez has at Michigan. Nor that kind of tradition.
The best part of the game is that it wasn't decided by that blown call. Ringer will finish in the top five in Heisman voting, but won't threaten to win it - unless MSU beats Penn State.
Dell made a great catch on another play as well. None of MSU's receivers are as good as Devin Thomas, but they have made up for his departure with depth.
Pat - Michigan's offense wouldn't make Pryor any better, but their coach would certainly exploit his freakish skills in better ways than Tressell has.

Rennie & Holden seek tenure in 'Department of Monsterology'
by Mark Kardwell
– on Aug 29, 2013
Readers of 2000AD already know the writer Gordon Rennie as a go-to guy for comic strips expertly merging the fields of action adventure, the supernatural and horror. He's the man who brought us "Necronauts," "Caballistics Inc." and "Absalom," all strips that gleefully cross genres, and share something of a Wold Newton-ian outlook. "Necronauts" was the strip that introduced many of us to the work of Frazer Irving, and told the tale of a team-up of sorts between Charles Fort, Harry Houdini, Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft. The much-missed "Caballistics Inc." featured a team of supernatural investigators forced to migrate from the civil service to the private sector, and featured casual references suggesting it shared a universe with Doctor Who, Quatermass and 2000AD's own "Zenith." "Absalom" was an indirect spinoff of "Caballistics Inc.," fusing classic cop-show DNA into the mix. At one point, Inspector Harry Absalom lists Jack Regan of The Sweeney as an old colleague.
Rennie worked with artist Paul "PJ" Holden on the 2000AD strip "The 86ers," which, while set in the world of Rogue Trooper, still managed to have allusions to Lovecraft lurking in its backstory. You may well know Holden's work from the critically acclaimed Numbercruncher, being published by Titan Comics. Others will know him as one of the men who essentially invented digital comics as we've come to know them, working on comics that could be distributed as apps way back in 2008 (as well as being the first to run afoul of Apple's censorious streak then, too). He also occasionally finds the time to be one of the trio of presenters of that most uproarious and vulgar of all comics webcasts, Sunnyside Comics.
Their upcoming comic together at Renegade Arts, Department of Monsterology, shares a lot of influences with these predecessors, while being notably less dark and cynical than Rennie's work for 2000AD. There's a great five-page prequel at USA Today that goes a long way to revealing the tone of the first issue: While the debut features pitched battles against Lovecraftian undersea creatures and Chinese vampires, the more playful emphasis reminds me of the Indiana Jones movies. Like Indy, the cast members of DoM are ostensibly academics who just happen to find themselves in the unlikeliest of high-stakes adventures, all in the name of science. We spoke to Rennie and Holden to ask them about Department of Monsterology, its influences, and their hopes for its future.
Robot 6: I could take a guess at the literary influences behind Department of Monsterology (great title, by the way) just from the names of the field teams and assorted other sly references scattered through Issue 1, but I'd rather just ask you two to talk us through them.
PJ Holden: This will be a question for Gordon. Certainly, the one reference I'm certain of -- and was probably the first thing Gordon and I talked about even before there was a DoM -- was "Mister Vampire," which was my first time encountering Chinese hopping vampires. Would you believe I'd never read any Lovecraft until I'd started Monsterology?
Gordon Rennie: Yeah, the team names are very deliberate. Each one is named after a classic pulp character related to that team's area of specialty, and kind of tells you where we're coming from with this book and the world it's set in. They are: Challenger (Professor Challenger, hero of Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World), which searches for lost and hidden places, and the things that live in them; Carnacki (William Hope Hodgson's Carnacki the Ghost Finder supernatural detective), which investigates the paranormal and occult; and the mysterious Team Carter (Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars), who specialise in the outer-space and UFO stuff.
Other obvious references would be Dunsany College, which the Department belongs to, and is named after the Irish fantasy writer, and the name of Team Challenger's expedition ship the Derleth – named after August Derleth, the horror writer and the guy who did more than anyone else to extend awareness of HP Lovecraft's work after Lovecraft's death. There are plenty of other little Easter eggs in there – some of them more obscure than others – but these are the main road map ones.
A rag-tag team of supernatural investigators, seeking out creatures from folklore and pulp literature. Will we shoo the Mignola-comparison elephant out of the room early? There's a couple of similar character archetypes in common between DoM and the extended Hellboy cast. What's the difference between the world of DoM, and the B.P.R.D. universe?
Gordon: Well, it's a theme I seem to return to, and have been doing for a while in other strips like "Necronauts" and "Caballistics," and "Necronauts" carbon-dates back to 1991, when it was going to be a series for Tundra, which I think is years before Hellboy. I like Hellboy and B.P.R.D. – or, at least, I like the idea of them, but often think the narrative execution is lacking – but DoM is just the first chance I've had to do the same kind of story that I've been doing for years on a larger canvas than a 2000AD serial makes possible. And I didn't want to do yet another story about a secret government agency, which is why the Department is an academic institution whose job is to study and catalogue this stuff. Although, admittedly, a fair amount of monster-stomping does occur -- academic standards clearly aren't what they used to be.
PJ: I think we're aiming for lighthearted and pulpy -- or, at, least, fun and action-packed. While there may be folklore elements in what will turn up, for the most part, they'll have been pre-filtered through a pulp lens of some sort before we even tackle them, and while, in this first series, Team Carter is missing -- at some point we're going to get to them and find out exactly what's going on there.
The (Team Carter-featuring) last page of the five-page preview is a very evocative piece of sci-fi imagery. And if I said the second (Team Carnacki) half of the book pleasantly reminded me a little of the old Doug Moench/Paul Gulacy/Gene Day Master of Kung Fu comics, would you take that as a compliment?
Gordon: I'm afraid I've never read it. I was, however, influenced by the sound effects from Doug Moench's Batman stories – he really does put more thought into them than any other comic writer out there – so I'll take it as a compliment.
PJ: I can take ANYTHING as a compliment ("You're fat"; "Why thank you, I DO feel healthier") -- it's a skill I've acquired through years of working with Gordon. To be honest, though, I've never read Master of Kung Fu (though I'm vaguely familiar with it), so can't draw the comparison, but I'd hazard a guess, we're both influenced by kung fu movies ...
Ah, there's a similar use of old British pulp archetypes in the Team Carnacki sequence that rang some Sax Rohmer bells with me, but the earlier Conan Doyle/Hope Hodgson references probably had me prepared to read too much into things. The first issue is a cracking bit of world building, introducing two teams, alluding to a third, giving everybody plenty to do, allowing their actions to tell us plenty about them, and dropping two cliffhangers for the price of one. So, what next for the DoM?
Gordon: The second issue introduces the main bad guys for this story – a brother-and-sister pair of psychopaths who compete with the Department in finding these places and the artifacts they contain, and who have a very special paranormal ability. Meanwhile, bits of backstory will be drip-fed out, and some of the ongoing mysteries in the whole series – about the Department and its history, about the secret backgrounds or motivations of some of the team members will start to make themselves known. And then there's the big mystery of Team Carter and where they've disappeared to and what might have happened to them there.
PJ: For my part, I put my faith in Gordon and where he wants to take it. We've talked at length about various things, often I'll suggest an idea or an element I'd like to draw and Gordon will hammer it down, smooth out the edges and include it in some way in the story.
This is a four-issue miniseries, but it read to me like the first issue of an ongoing. I know it's early days, but any plans for these characters past these four issues?
Gordon: Yeah, lots of plans, as above might have suggested. There's a lot to be explored about these characters, their world and some of the mysteries around some of them.
PJ: We've definitely got plans, and there are a number of threads left dangling with a view to picking them up. If we can get the readers (and that's why it's important to pre-order!) we can do more ...
PJ, I keep seeing people saying nice things about your other creator-owned comic out at the moment, Numbercruncher. Looking at the two side-by-side, they could be by two different artists.
PJ: Ha! Yes, it looks very different to this. Largely that's down to the tone of the books -- Numbercruncher, even within its pages, has two different styles, dictated by the narrative. Monsterology was drawn in a way that I felt I could sustain for hundreds, if not thousands, of pages. It's probably as close as I can get to a natural drawing style.
This feels to me very much like Gordon's return to the pulpy, Fortean waters of 2000AD's "Necronauts" (hell, one character even gets referred to as a necronaut). And maybe even with shades of his "Caballistics Inc." team in the mix, too. Do you see a through-line with those two strips at all? What keeps bringing you back to these themes and tropes?
Gordon: I seem to enjoy writing team stories, which – frankly – is incredibly hard in the space constraints of a 2000AD story, where everything is told in five- to six-page episodes. This has really given me a lot more freedom to cut loose with character elements and moments that you usually have to sacrifice to space and storytelling limitations when writing for The Mighty One. At the same time, though, a solid grounding in writing for U.K. weeklies really does teach you a lot about condensed storytelling and maximum use of the space available, and, even though 22 pages an episode seems like unlimited freedom to me, a lot of the great reviews we've had so far have mentioned how much story seems to be packed into it.
As for the tropes and themes, I just love doing horror-adventure stuff, and it's definitely the genre I seem to return to again and again. So, yeah, the little nod to "Necronauts" is definitely deliberate, and, later on in the series, there's an explicit reference to "Caballistics" that's there for no other reason but my own amusement.
The Department of Monsterology #1 arrives Oct. 16.

Today I have COMPLETED my build and on Thursday April 4th I will post pictures of completed build and hopefully submit photos to my GML this weekend. It has been close to 6 months from beginning to end. I recieved my BBB Day on October 23rd 2018. Thank you all for THT, Troopers helping troopers!!!!! Your time and help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!
Nice idea with the tube insert.
Looking good, nice work, you may just want to add some foam to behind your sniper plate to keep it away from your thigh, they can catch and crack. If you don't have room then place some foam in the back side of the thigh, it will help bring it backwards.
It was such a rush, I didn't have foam today and was going to pack black socks behind sniper plate just to go to neighbors house, but at the same time, my in laws showed up from out of town. I will absolutely look into pre approval, wasn't aware that this was a thing, very interested!!!!! Thank you gmrhodes13!!!!!

Jayhawks Host Special Olympians For 27th Annual Wilt Chamberlain Clinic
LAWRENCE, Kan. –
Following an exciting 77-61 win over Nebraska Saturday evening, the Kansas women's basketball team got to celebrate with more than 100 Special Olympians as the Jayhawks played host to the 27th Annual Wilt Chamberlain Basketball Clinic Sunday afternoon in Allen Fieldhouse.
The clinic is sponsored by former KU legend Wilt Chamberlain who left the money to fund the event in his estate. The Special Olympians came from all across the state of Kansas and the Kansas City metro area. Typically the event is hosted by the Kansas men's basketball team, but with the Jayhawks stranded in Oklahoma due to the fog the KU women gladly stepped in.
"We were honored to get the call," said Kansas head coach Bonnie Henrickson. "We held a clinic in January with the Douglas County Special Olympians and I told our team that because they were so good at that clinic, they get to do it again. This is one of the best things we do during the season. They (Special Olympians) share the same love and enthusiasm for the game that our players do. It makes for a really fun afternoon."
"It's always great to work with the Special Olympians," said KU sophomore Carolyn Davis, who recorded a career-high 36 points in the Jayhawks win over Nebraska. "I'm sure some of them were disappointed that the men's team wasn't here, but I'm glad we got to fill in for them."
With the goals lowered in Allen Fieldhouse, the Special Olympians broke up in groups and participated in eight different stations meeting and learning with the Jayhawk players, coaches and staff. High fives, fist pumps, hugs and many smiles brightened the faces of the Special Olympians and KU contingent. The clinic concluded with an autograph session.
"It was a great way to spend the afternoon," said Davis. "They're (Special Olympians) a great group of people to hang out with. They understand and know how to play the game. It's fun to learn from them and to teach them. We are all just here to have fun."
The Wilt Chamberlain Clinic is just one of many community service activities the Jayhawks volunteer with throughout the year. KU previously hosted the Douglas County Special Olympians for a clinic in January and have worked with the WillowDomesticViolenceCenter on the "WE SHARE" project and participated in the "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" event with Cottonwood, Inc., in the last year.
Kansas will put its three-game winning streak on the line when it travels to No. 24/25 IowaState on Tuesday, March 1. The Jayhawks (19-9, 5-8 Big 12) and Cyclones (20-8, 8-6 Big 12) will tip off at 7 p.m., at Hilton Coliseum.

Final day – Niki Zitny helps Austria to Notable Double
Austria completed a notable double on the PGAs of Europe tournament schedule when Niki Zitny added this inaugural endorsed Pro-Am to the International Team Championship captured by their team of three at Roda, Murcia, Spain in December.
Although the former European Tour player struggled to match his form of the opening two rounds, in perfect conditions on a warm and sunny day, his two-over-par 74 gave him a one-stroke margin over the Australian Jason Evans (70) and British PGA Cup player Jon Bevan (72).
Zitny had to survive a scary final hole when, in trying to play safe on the long par four, he dumped his second shot into water for an uncharacteristic bogey five.
This could have opened the way for either Evans or Bevan but the Australian, one of two brothers in the event, had dropped a shot at the par five third when a birdie could have been on offer.
Bevan, partnering Zitny, who won the Beko Classic at the same venue last November, suffered a similar lapse at the par five 16th thereby enabling the Austrian, deservedly, to keep his name at the top of the leaderboard at the end of an admirable 54-hole display.

Day 2 – Niki Zitny Leads….with Jon Bevan in Pursuit
Former European Tour player Niki Zitny (Austria) nosed ahead of the rest of the field by three strokes, in the second round, with a fine four-under-par 68…but, perhaps ominously, his closest challenger was a previous winner at Antalya.
British PGA Cup player, the experienced Jon Bevan, winner of the Beko Classic here only a few weeks ago, added a 70 to his overnight 71 to promise a chase to the finishing line in the third and final round.
After the start had been delayed by 90 minutes due to early morning frost, things warmed up nicely with far less wind than on Day 1 and the 36-hole scores, of the 54-hole tournament, featured a pair of Australian brothers, Jason and Jon Evans in the top half-dozen, both on one-under-par 143.
Two other former PGAs of Europe-endorsed event winners, Erol Simsek and Henrik Engdahl were in the chasing pack, but possibly too far back to make a meaningful challenge.
Best scores of the day were 68 by Zitny and Janez Grilc, the Slovenian who is a regular in the International Team Championship, and a 69 by the ever-consistent Simsek.
Day 1 – Three-Nation Challenge at the Top
A Turk, an Austrian and an Italian shared the first round lead in the PGAs of Europe-endorsed Kempinski Hotel 'The Dome' Pro-Am, on two-under-par 70.
Savas Karatas (Turkey), Niki Zitny (Austria) and George Grillo (Italy) opened up a narrow, one-stroke lead in the first round of the inaugural event, sponsored by Avea, the Turkish telecom company.
The new event proved a huge attraction, with 57 teams of four participating on the two excellent golf courses in this increasingly-popular location.
Although played out in bright sunshine, contestants had to battle against an unusually tough package of conditions, comprising hard fast greens and bitterly cold high winds, making any score of around par a fine achievement, especially on the more difficult PGA-branded Sultan course.
This contributed to the fact that those leading three scores, were all registered on the Pasha, but the trio could have a more difficult day in the second round tomorrow when they all change courses. Leading player on the hazardous Sultan was Jon Evans in joint fourth place.
Despite the challenging conditions there were two holes in one … by Mehmet Ceylan and Steve Richardson. The former European Ryder Cup player, struck his ace with an almost miraculous 215 metre five wood, at the sixth on the Sultan.

Day Celtic took a baby Bear behind the Iron Curtain: Roy Aitken reflects on swapping school tie for starting shirt in Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final
A flu epidemic ahead of a trip to Germany saw Roy Aitken get his Celtic chance
It was 1976 and Aitken, then a school boy, but was part of the squad that went
Celtic took on Sachsenring Zwickau in a Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final match
The current Celtic side are back in Germany on Thursday to take on RB Leipzig
In 1976, anyone intent on adopting a bear would have been met with a quizzical look. With a visit from the RSPCA likely to follow in short order.
Yet as Celtic prepared for their one and only sojourn to East Germany, a flu epidemic and a spate of injuries left stand-in manager Sean Fallon with little option but to go hunting.
To be clear, Roy Aitken was the bear in question. Although, given the 17-year-old from Adrossan was still at school, perhaps he was more of a cub at that stage.
Celtic's Roy Aitken reflected with Sportsmail on swapping school for a 1976 trip to Germany
Sachsenring Zwickau would have made for a good Scrabble score but were not considered to be insurmountable opponents as Celtic embarked on a Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final tie on the back of wins against Valur and Boavista.
A 1-1 draw in the first leg at Celtic Park was compounded by the postponement of league matches with Ayr United and Rangers as a virus swept the country. As Fallon organised a bounce game against the reserves, further injuries to Andy Lynch, Bobby Lennox and Dixie Deans left him with only 14 bodies for the return trip.
An increasingly drastic situation required drastic measures. Aitken had only made his debut as a 16-year-old in the League Cup against Stenhousemuir the previous September but would swap his school tie for a starting jersey if Fallon could get his way.
A flu epidemic swept the country and the club and forced Celtic to turn to the then 17-year-old
'I was under 18 and still at school, so they had to get permission for me to travel,' Aitken recalled.
'Jock (Stein) had a bad (car) accident that year and was in hospital, so it was Sean who had to go to the consulate every day to sign me in. I didn't have to go, but Sean did. They put the club down as the guardian because I was under 18.'
Even for those players who had been part of the club's remarkable success in Europe in the late 60s and early 70s, a trip behind the Iron Curtain to the city of Karl Marx Stadt, now known as Chemnitz, was intriguing.
For a teenager from Ayrshire, it represented the perfect excuse to break off from studying for his Highers.
'The whole thing about being at school and getting time off to travel into Europe with Celtic was interesting,' Aitken added.
'The good thing was that I had a headmaster who was a Celtic fan. I'd go into school on a Monday morning and, even though we didn't win anything that year, we were doing quite well.
'He'd come into the office and offer a wee cup of tea. He'd have the papers in front of him and start talking about the game at the weekend.
The Celtic legend was this week inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame at Hampden
'I've got great pictures walking out of the school with the chemistry books under the arm. It was just another adventure at that time. It was always an adventure. Everything was coming so quickly.'
That first taste of European football was to end in disappointment, though.
With the game being beamed live back to Scotland at 2pm, Ludwig Blank – a headline writer's dream if ever there was one – struck the only goal after three minutes. Although to this day, Roddie MacDonald – an auxiliary centre-forward – remains mystified as to why his late header was disallowed.
Some 42 years on, and with the Berlin Wall long since gone, the current Celtic side are back in eastern Germany – but this time illness and injury are less of a concern than the side they will face.
Founded in 2009 after the takeover of fifth-tier Markranstädt, RB Leipzig have usurped Bayern Munich as the side most German fans love to hate.
This stems partly from their flagrant disregard of the country's 50-plus-1 ownership 'rule' but also from their success.
Only promoted to the Bundesliga in 2016, they finished second in their first season and sixth last term.
It would take a brave man to wager that Celtic will record just their third-ever victory in an away group-stage match in Europe tomorrow.
The club's latest trip to Germany sees Celtic go head-to-head with a talented RB Leipzig outfit
But, with or without Scott Brown, Brendan Rodgers' side are unquestionably in far better fettle than when they parachuted into the competition.
Saturday's pulsating win over Hibs, added to victories over Aberdeen and St Johnstone, have screwed down the volume on talk of an inexorable decline.
'I didn't doubt they'd motor again,' Aitken said. 'If they had a little dip, criticism comes your way. That's normal. You set your own standards and they set theirs so high. Invincibles one year, a second Treble the second year.
'People are going into this season wondering if they can do it again and, if there's a little dip, everyone is on the manager's case. It's part of football, but on a lot of occasions it's unfair and Brendan made a great comment when he said to judge them in May. At the end of the season.
'Jock Stein said the same thing. So did Billy McNeill. You are not judged at this stage of a season. It's when the trophies are handed out and they have proven themselves season in and season out.'
Given how poor Rodgers' side were as they crashed to a 3-1 defeat in Salzburg at the start of the month, sweeping judgments *will* be made on Celtic's ability to compete in Europe's secondary competition if an all-too familiar story plays out again.
Scott Brown will miss Celtic's decisive Europa League clash with RB Leipzig on Thursday
With the Austrians favourites to win the group and Rosenborg struggling thus far, the double header with the Germans is likely to prove definitive.
'It's a tough game in Leipzig,' Aitken said. 'It's a difficult group.
'Brendan will want to try and pick up points. The home results are normally the ones that get you there.
'On some occasions, nine points can be enough but, looking at this group, it might need a point or two away. But that'll be tough.'
There have been times during Celtic's run to seven straight titles when European football felt like a tasty morsel taking away the bland taste of the domestic game. Not now.
While Rodgers will naturally demand that his players are in contention when the knock-out stages of the Europa comes around, winning a reinvigorated Premiership is very much the be-all and end-all.
Hearts, Hibs, Livingston and Kilmarnock have relished upsetting the natural order so far. Rangers and Aberdeen have work to do to ensure normality is resumed. It all feels very like an era when Scotland's flagship competition was not a contradiction in terms.
Aitken insists he had no doubts that Brendan Rodgers' side would eventually kick into gear
'Other people will argue,' added Aitken, 'but I think the 1980s was as strong as Scottish football has ever been in the sense you had Jim McLean and Alex Ferguson at Dundee United and Aberdeen and they were terrific teams.
'Alex MacDonald and Sandy Jardine's Hearts team came along. Rangers were in there competing, so were ourselves at Celtic. It was a great period. This is also a bit of competition.'
One that stirs the appetite of the man who charged into enemy territory in his pomp to the cry of 'Feed the Bear'.
'There's been a little bit of stick getting handed out,' said Aitken. 'But it's still early in the season. They've scored ten goals in the past two games. Suddenly everyone has gone quiet again.'

How the eyes of Miralem Pjanic conducted Juventus's win over Manchester United


DR Congo and Everton winger Yannick Bolasie has concluded his loan spell at Aston Villa and moved to Belgium giants Anderlecht on temporarily basis until the end of the season.
Bolasie joined Everton in August 2017 for £26 million where he collected 37 appearances during his two years at the club but had a shy contribution with only two goals and four assists registered.
The Toffees decided to send the 29-year-old forward on a loan spell to Aston Villa in the Championship with two goals and five assists to his name.
"Everton FC and RSC Anderlecht have just reached an agreement on Yannick Bolasie. The player will be loaned to RSC Anderlecht for six months," the Belgian club announced.
"We are very pleased with the arrival of Yannick Bolasie. His qualities are indisputable," Anderlecht sporting director Michael Verschueren told the official website.
"We are convinced that he will be of great added value for the rest of the season," he added.

Too many pending requests?
by Per Starback 07 Jul '03
I can't get to the pending request page for a mailing list. (My web clients just say "waiting for response" and finally give up.) I think it is because there are too many pending requests after some problems. (config.db is almost 10MB.) How can I do this some other way?

Allowing posts with certain topics/blocking all others
by Sarah K. Miller 16 Sep '02
I have a list that I'd like to enforce a set of headers on. In other words, each message subject must start with a certain word in order be posted. Has anybody found a way to do this? I know I can block messages with certain headers, but I want to block all messages and only allow those with the approved headers. If anybody has a great idea how to accomplish this, please pass it on ... -- Sarah

Stop monthly password reminders?
by Josh Lothian 12 Aug '02
Hi all, Quick question: I've looked through most of the options available to a list admin, and I can't find one to disable the monthly password reminders. I know this sounds like a bad idea, but we have a secretary who maintains quite a few mailing lists for out department, and we'd like to switch her over to mailman. However, we probably don't want students to be able to unsubscribe themselves from certain of our announcement-type mailing lists. Any ideas? Am I missing something simple? Thanks much, Josh Lothian System Administrator University of Tennessee, Department of Computer Science

Install Question
by Tim Legg 12 Feb '02
FreeBSD 4.4, Postfix I am preparing to install mailman-2.0.8 on my system according to my INSTALL document. In step 1, I was told to create user and group mailman by modifying the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. Is it good enough to create these accounts/groups by placing them alone on a single line, or should I fill in the other atributes? In FreeBSD, /etc/passwd and /etc/group have the fields delimited by colons. I am not entirely clear on what each of these fields represent, but should I know what to enter for the shell path, home dir path, real name, et cetera? TIA Tim Legg

Can you tell me why I get the message "error decoding authorization cookie" when I try to access private archives. Thank you
by Cynthia Nakagawa 01 Feb '02
We are using the mailman product. I think it is 2.0.8 version or something like that. Is there any way to disable the password per list. We do not like to use a password for all the lists. Is there any way to set one default password for all users. If not do you have to manually have the user go to the website and change it for all lists? Thanks Cynthia Cynthia Nakagawa Network Operations Support (916) 526-8262

Yay! I can sleep in tomorrow!
I finally got a neckline I'm satisfied with on the red and black sweater. I dropped the front neck by doing short rows, and it's pretty snazzy, I think.
I also cast on for some socks in the Regia Jubilee I got a while back – so good for travelling project. And I'm using the YUMMY Lantern Moon double points I bought. No ladders, yay!

Zoom Company in to make unlimited meetings for everyone on November 27
By Lahore Herald
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and Zoom has a special offer planned for the event to help keep everyone connected. On November 26th, Zoom will lift its 40 minute limit on free meetings and will allow everyone to talk as long as they want.
The limit will be lifted on November 26th in the morning and will last until night on November 27th. Keep in mind that this is a global announcement, meaning that Pakistani users will be able to benefit from it just as much as the others.
The company announced this goodwill measure on Twitter earlier this week.
Zoom Tweet
The 40 minute limit on free meetings has been in place throughout the pandemic. Most other video calling rivals of Zoom such as Google Meet also have similar limits. Google's video calling app, for instance, lets you have a video chat for up to 60 minutes before ending your session. However, people are easily able to work around the limit by starting a new call.
Hence, the plus side of Zoom's limited offer is that you won't have to start a new call every 40 minutes.

In Focus: From Betamax To TV Box, Looking At The Future Of Video Streaming In The PH
Mara Diocton
Here's the thing about video streaming: You need fast Internet speed to do it. The global leader in subscription service Netflix requires at least 1.5 Mbps for standard definition (SD) and 5 Mbps for high-definition (HD) streaming. The go-to site for Asian network shows HOOQ requires at least 2 Mbps for computers and 3G access for mobile devices. The video giant YouTube is a bit more forgiving, requiring only a minimum of 500 kbps for videos and 1 Mbps for premium content.
As of late 2016, the average Internet speed in the Philippines was recorded at 4.2 Mbps, a far cry from the fastest average speed in APAC, South Korea with 26.3 Mbps. Technology provider Akamai noted how, along with India, the Philippines "once again had the lowest average connection speeds among surveyed countries/regions in Asia Pacific."
When you think about it, 4 Mbps may not be so bad, right? It's way beyond what Netflix, HOOQ, and YouTube require. But there are still several problems. For instance, streaming is only one of many online activities that Filipinos love. We also need real-time access to data-hogging activities such as checking social media sites, online and mobile gaming, online shopping, and location-based searching.
[related: Cheat Sheet: Here's How to Boredom-Proof Yourself When You're Stuck in Traffic]
The Clamor for On-Demand Access
But speed or no speed, Filipinos can't be stopped when it comes to watching their favorite shows. Surely, many of your homes still carry the marks of distant video past inside those rusting Betamax, VHS, and VCD players. Kids of the '90s will recall their first foray into the recesses of video piracy via obscure services like Limewire and PirateBay if only to complete collections of ripped content inside iconic hamburger VCD cases. Oh, and let's not forget about those frequent after-school trips to our friendly neighborhood, if not seedy, VCD and DVD rental shops. You just know you forgot to return one of those, didn't you?
[related: In Focus: Change Is Ongoing For Filipino TV Viewing Habits]
It seems that Filipinos have always had a soft spot for getting the shows they want on demand. And with the advent of video streaming services and sites, this itch is only going to get a lot harder to satisfy. Now if only there's something we can do about the state of the Internet in the country.
One Upgrade to First-World Streaming, Please
Many Filipinos are tech-savvy digital natives, and talking about the state of the Internet connection in the country is a sore spot that's meant to only anger people. So we asked industry expert Martha Sazon, Globe Senior Vice President for Broadband Business, to shed light on what's really happening:
On leveling up the state of the Philippine internet: "We know that [the Philippines] is a developing country; it is an emerging market, but that should not stop us from experiencing what the first-world homes are experiencing. The first saga would be entertainment or specifically anything that you watch on TV because that's... the most visible thing that you [sic] at home when you want to socialize so we changed all our plans so that you get three times the speed and three times your daily allowance for the same price."
On the real deal about gigabytes: "One gigabyte is one hour of watching a movie or any show, so that's 100 hours of watching Netflix. [This] clarifies the notion that if it's unlimited, it's good. [You may be on] unlimited [data], but your speed is so slow, so there's no use to it. So with this, we are increasing your speed and we're giving you decent and really really good data allowances."
On what people should know about streaming, in layman's terms: "Think of each of the app or the streaming app as a channel. You can switch shows anytime you watch. It's on your terms. And then imagine that's just one app. Imagine access to 15,000 apps, you have Netflix, you have YouTube, you have ABC, and then we can customize your viewing. We partnered with Netflix, of course, they're number one recently. We only partnered with the best in basketball, that's NBA; the best in international [providers] that mixes Korean and Filipino content, that's HOOQ. They're one of the pioneers here in Asia. We also recently partnered with Tribe and of course Disney. We recently partnered with YouTube Kids as well. What's good though is that they have access globally and thousands of shows. Imagine things that you couldn't watch before or used to be available exclusively in the US. Now you can watch in real time and at same time as the US and the UK. I remember Crown. I was traveling in the UK then, and then I met someone who's from there and then we got to talk and we talked about Crown and he was so surprised that I knew about the Crown. So, imagine that. Suddenly, you're at par. That's what we call first-world living right at their home. Our physical environment should not limit us from enjoying first-world living and being on par with our global friends."

This is the last of the shots from the recent Classic car expo (unless I find anymore that I have missed). I love the classic feel to this old truck, complete with wooden spokes and the wishbone suspension. If you scratched around in the bed of the truck, you could find all manner of interesting things, including old car radios, speedometers, wires and random tools.
The truck is still licensed and in running order, I am glad that somebody is looking after it.
