Nostalgic third Epicenter fest hits hard at Verizon

This year's Epicenter took fans way back, and boy did it bring back memories -- for fans and performers.

“When I was younger I used to listen to Limp Bizkit. Now that I'm older, I say f*** Limp Bizkit,” the group's frontman Fred Durst (above) said Saturday night at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. He meant it as a good thing: “When I say f*** Limp Bizkit, that means I love Limp Bizkit, man!”

The headliners for this third version of festival, which moved to Irvine after two years in the Inland Empire, kept fans “rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'” for more than an hour, with Durst making security earn their paychecks by continuously going into the crowd and causing an uproar. (It was amusing to see them surround the vocalist, yelling “back up” to crazed fans crowding him. Wonder if they secretly resented him not staying on stage.)

During one of those escapades, Durst -- wearing his recognizable red cap (for the Angels, accordingly), white shirt and blue Dickies -- was caught off guard by an unexpected offer from a female fan. “I came over trying to find a beer, but that didn't happen -- but I do have a joint,” he told the crowd before politely refusing and returning it (without taking a hit).

In its only show in Southern California this year, Limp Bizkit delivered what was to be expected and didn't disappoint. Durst indulged high-flying shenanigans and routinely reached out to fans, including a moment when he invited someone from the pit on stage to drink a beer with him (before both guys playfully sprayed each other). An obviously excited young man named Emilio recorded the moment -- and before he knew it had the tables turned on him, as Durst grabbed his camera and began filming him dancing, high-fiving the other members and enjoying his 15 seconds of fame.

But Durst provided plenty more opportunities to capture the moment, especially during his up-close visits with the crowd. Camera flashes lit up everywhere as the singer encouraged everyone to “put this on Facebook and tell your best friend(s) to go f*** themselves,” eliciting cheers.

Staind and Everlast, on the other hand, provided more of a laid-back rock vibe. The former's vocalist Aaron Lewis even acknowledged the slower pace: “Looking forward to Limp Bizkit waking you back up? Imma try my best to put you to sleep a little bit more.”

By no means did slower mean snoozer by Saturday's standards, however. There was no need to jump around to enjoy two men letting their raspy vocals do the work for them. Lewis in particular exhibited a cool no-BS vibe, though curiously there was no love for “It's Been Awhile.” (At least we got “Outside.”)

The bluesy old-school sounds of Everlast easily stood out as a favorite, his solo work a far cry from his days as part of '90s hip-hop group House of Pain (who incidentally performed at last year's Epicenter for the first time in more than a decade). But a WTF moment occurred when Everlast was trying to stay on a bit longer after his time had elapsed. After being ignored, things got interesting: “Spin that motherf***er all the way around,” he yelled, referring to the rotating stage as it began to turn him out of view.

“Go ahead, I don't give a f***!” he continued, stepping off the same sort of giant lazy Susan they use at KROQ's Weenie Roasts. The crowd loved it. Without hesitation, a familiar tune led by bagpipes was heard throughout the open air, as Everlast broke into “Jump Around” and bodies began to do so in a frenzy. (The only thing missing was his Celtics jersey.)

But he wasn't done yet: “I won't leave the stage 'til I f***ing feel like it! Sh**, f*** the schedule.” It was apparent that the crowd was happy he didn't go quietly.

Five Finger Death Punch delivered its heavy metal full-force, though lead vocalist Ivan Moody also used their time slot to clarify a few absurd online rumors, setting the record straight that he hadn't killed himself (obviously) and that the band wasn't broken up (ditto.) A third rumor, about him having some 14 kids, was neither confirmed nor denied: “That may be right,” he said jokingly.

The L.A. band did its genre proud, demanding nothing less than a high level of intensity during its set. And when Moody wasn't feeling that from the crowd, he didn't hold back: “This ain't no Air Supply concert, motherf***ers!” he said, while acknowledging that some people “out there don't want (us) anywhere near a stage. Ready to prove them wrong?” By their reaction, they most certainly were.

Moody also had an encounter with security, but unlike Durst's, it wasn't so friendly. The singer threatened to stop if guards didn't let go of a female fan who was being forcefully escorted out. His threat wasn't realized; she was allowed to stick around. “I know you guys are paid to do your job, but these kids pay a lot of f***ing money to come here,” Moody said to huge applause.

The group continued setting it off while Moody gave shout-outs to Limp Bizkit, Staind and Korn, all bands he said to be “honored and privileged” to be playing with that night. (Only problem: Korn wasn't in the lineup.)

The performances just kept coming, though. “Dude, every band has gotten better!” said a fairly intoxicated fan a row in front of me.

And he was right. California reigned with the likes of P.O.D., Buckcherry and Papa Roach. The first, a Christian group out of San Diego, hyped up the crowd with an early afternoon set on the side stage, filled with nods to the West Coast, while the latter two groups rocked the main stage later that evening.

Buckcherry's vocalist, Orange County native Josh Todd, exemplified a true rocker look and exploded with “Crazy Bitch.” Like Durst, Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix walked the aisles and rows at Verizon with a group of fans trailing closely behind. (I wonder how many tags the picture he took with the crowd has gotten on his Twitter account.) He also surprised by showing off his Spanish skills during a snippet of a song.

Skillet was a standout for its unique use of violins as well as a rarity among this lineup: two strong female members, with guitarist Korey Cooper stealing the show. Puddle of Mudd, meanwhile, provided a more grunge feel to the fest, delighting fans with their radio staples “Blurry” and “She Hates Me.”

Epicenter provided it all: overpriced food and beverages, people getting tossed out, plenty of weed (though I didn't get a whiff until late into the night), delayed set times, even out-of-place attendees, like the cute older Asian lady with camera in hand.

One reader, commenting on the festival's lineup announcement, knew exactly how this event would go down: it would be “like a reunion for us Gen X and Yers!” And that it was.

Top Five Concerts in OC This Week

Ra Ra Riot--See Wednesday
Ra Ra Riot--See Wednesday

Monday, Feb. 11

St. Lucia
The Constellation Room
For the purposes of this blurb, St. Lucia is not the Swedish figure known for wearing a wreath of candles in her hair and bearing gifts for Scandinavian children. Rather, it's the nom de plume of musician Jean-Philip Grobler (doesn't sound pretentious at all). Hailing from South Africa by way of Brooklyn, Grobler rocks a pop music that's heavy on the dance synth. His big percussive arrangements call to mind Paul Simon spinning in an East Germany disco. --Brandon Ferguson

OC Music Awards Showcase: Night 6
Founders Hall (at Segerstrom Center)

Upcoming Events

Having witnessed each of the showcases thus far in the battle for live-band supremacy, Tuesday's sixth installment could easily be one of the most exciting. The venue, Founders Hall at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, is definitely the most refined venue on the list. Funny, considering the chord-shredding irreverence we'll be experiencing courtesy of a handful of OC's loudest, rowdiest rock acts, including Jeramiah Red, the Devious Means, Breach the Summit, Standing Hawthorne and Midnight Hour. There might be five very different types styles represented here (from baroque pop to FM alt-rock), but one thing's for sure: They will all be loud. --Nate Jackson

Wednesday, Feb. 13

Ra Ra Riot
The Observatory

If you just missed the worldwide, live, online broadcast of Ra Ra Riot's concert at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg, celebrating the release of new album Beta Love, consider yourself a lucky little synth-popper because the band is playing at the Observatory this week. It's the group's first record since the departure of founding member/cellist Alexandra Lawn--who seemingly took with her Riot's signature baroque indie-pop sound. But the group's new musical horizons take them straight into the world of sci-fi fiction, with robots and synthesizers and machines now taking center stage. Out with the old-fashioned and in with the space age. --Erin DeWitt

Thursday, Feb. 14
Boogaloo Assassins
Commonwealth Lounge (Fullerton)

There's something distinctly familiar about the Latin powerhouse Boogaloo Assassins. Maybe it's that authentically greasy mixture of sharp brass, pounding drums, thick bass and gang vocals that hearkens back to the time of sweaty basement parties on a hot summer night in Spanish Harlem . . . pre-reggaeton. Whatever the reason you find yourself drawn to the Latin fusion of this all-star cast of seasoned players, one thing is certain: They will make you dance. Combining the flavors of everything from boogaloo, traditional salsa, cumbia and funk, there are few territories south of the equator this robust lineup of local cats fail to address. If you're looking for some romantic Valentine's Day plans, may we suggest showing off your moves on the dance floor with these guys . . . before you decide to get your date home and show them off elsewhere. --Nate Jackson

Friday, Feb. 15

The Ziggens

If you don't know much about Orange County ska/surf/punk/garage band the Ziggens, it's okay, as they've somehow been overshadowed by onetime label mates such as Sublime. But unlike Sublime, who burned out before becoming massively succesful, the Ziggens have been plugging away continuously for more than two decades. Though they've produced plenty of work since the 1990s, be sure to check out their masterpiece, 1998's Pomona Lisa. With cowbilly style, they bring A-game lyrics that tickle a funny bone good. --Brandon Ferguson

Los Angeles-based crime novelist and essayist James Ellroy makes the trip south Saturday as the Orange County Screenwriters Association's latest speaker.

The author of The Black Dahlia, L.A. Confidential, White Jazz, The Cold Six Thousand and his autobiographical My Dark Places, speaks at 10 a.m. at Regency South Coast Village Theatre at 1561 W. Sunflower Ave., Santa Ana, across the street from South Coast Plaza.

After speaking, Ellroy takes audience questions and signs copies of his books, which will be available for sale.

To give visitors of the free event a taste of what they may be in for, the screenwriters association notes that the blunt and opinionated Ellroy often begins his talks with:

Upcoming Events

"Good evening peepers, prowlers, pederasts, panty-sniffers, punks and pimps. I'm James Ellroy, the demon dog, the foul owl with the death growl, the white knight of the far right. I'm the author of 16 books, masterpieces all; they precede all my future masterpieces. These books will leave you reamed, steamed and drycleaned, tie-dyed, swept to the side, true-blued, tattooed and bah fongooed. These are books for the whole family, if the name of your family is the Manson Family."

Ellroy has gained critical acclaim with his "L.A. Quartet"--The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential and White Jazz--but the 62-year-old is quite prolific, having also cranked out Blood's a Rover, Crime Wave, American Tabloid, Suicide Hill, his latest The Hillicker Curse and many, many more.

He's also written original screenplays and adaptations, and several of his novels have been turned into film and television projects (L.A. Confidential, Dark Blue and The Black Dahlia, among many others). Perhaps he'll regale the OC crowd with his comeback to little old ladies who say they saw and loved Curtis Hanson's L.A. Confidential movie adaption.

Well-known Ellroy-LA Weekly connection: He used to be married to Helen Knode, a former Weekly film critic, and herself a novelist.

Little-known Ellroy-OC Weekly connection: For years we employed Laura Stoner, whose father-in-law Bill Stoner is a former Los Angeles County Sheriff's investigator who worked with Ellroy on the cold case murder of the author's mother, Geneva Hilliker Ellroy, and several other projects.

Vile online abuse against female MPs ‘needs to be challenged now’

Less than two weeks ago, Tulip Siddiq, the Labour MP for Hampstead and Kilburn, was talking about the online abuse she was regularly getting, including death threats. “If I could I would kill you,” was just one of them. “Being a female politician, there is no way you are going to avoid abuse. I don’t know anyone who has not had to deal with it,” she said, adding it could be “frightening and upsetting” and that a group of female MPs had an unofficial support group to deal with it. But at the same time, she also brushed off the effects on her. In an interview with the Sunday Times, she described herself as “a tough middle child” who wouldn’t be silenced. Now, the day after the devastating murder of the Labour MP Jo Cox, she doesn’t sound so sure. “When I spoke about it before, I was one of those who shrugged it off and said I was not as affected by it as other people,” she says. “I felt I could handle it and not let it get to me. What I do know is that what happened to Jo has changed the environment.”

There is no evidence that Jo Cox’s killer took part in an online campaign of abuse, but it has emerged that Cox had been harassed in many messages over a period of three months. It isn’t clear if this was any different from the stream of vile abuse that almost every female MP – particularly those, as Cox was, who are outspoken about feminism and human rights – endures on a sometimes daily basis. Whatever the specific circumstances of her murder, many people feel that the torrent of rape and death threats faced by woman in public life, particularly politicians, are an undeniable part of the culture in which it happened. In a much-shared tweet on Thursday, Beth Murray, a director at a not-for-profit company, wrote: “Female MPs get daily death and rape threats: ‘It’s just online, why can’t you ignore it?’ Female MP is murdered: ‘An unexpected tragedy’.” If nothing else, the idea that this abuse is somehow not part of real life may finally be blown apart.

“With the kind of behaviour and vitriol that exists on Twitter and in public discourse about female politicians, and women more generally, I think it’s really naive to think that it exists in a bubble and doesn’t infiltrate culture more generally, and that it won’t influence behaviour,” says Claire Annesley, professor of politics at the University of Sussex. “Of course we’ve got to be cautious about linking things, but I also think we’ve got to be cautious of thinking [the culture of online abuse] has nothing to do with it. I think it’s part of the package.”

Siddiq is keen to stress that this isn’t about her. She is grieving for her friend, with whom she entered parliament at last year’s general election, and gave her advice before her daughter, now 10 weeks old, was born. Siddiq also has a uniquely personal link to political assassinations – her grandfather, the first prime minister of Bangladesh, was killed, along with 19 members of her mother’s family. Loth though she is to talk about herself, what she can talk about is the wider abuse she and her female colleagues experience – Cox as much as any. “She was, for me, a woman doing her job. We can’t get into a situation where women feel intimidated about doing their jobs. We don’t want to have a society where women can’t work.

“At which point do you take threats seriously, or dismiss them? I’ve had death threats on Twitter, or threats of violence. Do I just shrug it off, thinking it’s some person tweeting me at 3am from California, or is it someone who can access me? I have dismissed threats, and in light of this, I don’t think I can dismiss some of the comments directed at me. Online misogyny and death threats are all violence against women. Just because it’s online doesn’t make it any more acceptable than if it was in print or said verbally. The online world has to be safe for women as well. It’s not something that we should take and accept. It needs to be challenged, especially now.”

You don’t have to look far to see it. Barely hours after Cox’s death was announced, the MP Jess Phillips posted this tweet in response to a vile conversation about her appearance: “Just for one day perhaps this misogyny could let up. My beautiful friend was murdered today.” Last month, Phillips, MP for Birmingham Yardley, said she received more than 600 threats of rape in one night on Twitter. The Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy has had to put up with years of abuse: in 2014 a man was jailed for 18 weeks for bombarding her with messages threatening to rape her. Last year, the Dewsbury MP Paula Sherriff was sent a Facebook message from a man (who later received a suspended sentence) who said: “Dead girl walking. Hope you get raped. We got your phone number and details.”

Last month, the SNP MP Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh, previously too worried to talk publicly, spoke about the amount of abuse she received, mostly sexist. “We already [face] a deficit of women, of people with disabilities, of members of the LGBTI community in public life,” she said. “How are we going to get them to come forward unless we tackle this?”

There have been attempts. In April, the Guardian began a campaign, the Web We Want, which has highlighted how women are far more likely to receive abuse online. Barely three weeks ago, a group of female politicians across the parties launched the Reclaim the Internet campaign, a public consultation on online abuse, particularly targeted at women. “Forty years ago women took to the streets to challenge attitudes and demand action against harassment on the streets,” said the Labour MP Yvette Cooper at the launch. “Today the internet is our streets and public spaces. Yet for some people, online harassment, bullying, misogyny, racism or homophobia can end up poisoning the internet and stopping them from speaking out. We have responsibilities as online citizens to make sure the internet is a safe space. Challenging online abuse can’t be done by any organisation alone … This needs everyone.”

Maria Miller, the Conservative MP and chair of the women and equalities select committee, is one of the women behind it. “What I want to see is a more honest and open conversation about what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour online,” she says. “I think at the moment people simply accept online abuse that verges on criminal behaviour without really questioning whether that is acceptable. The concern I have is the chilling affect online abuse can have on free and open debate. Members of parliament, like anybody else, don’t want to be involved in discussions that become aggressive and violent in their nature. My concern is not just for MPs, but others as well, that they are able to use social media without fear of violent verbal attacks.” The internet, she says, “sometimes … brings out the worse in people”.

She says that among female MPs, “it’s part of the job to accept the fact that you will get vile abuse online”. And is it unreasonable to think the consequence of that would be that it would put off other women from becoming MPs? “I certainly think that the way women are treated in the media can make them think twice about whether they’d want to stand for election. That, coupled with real concerns about the impact of social media on their lives doesn’t help when we’re trying to increase the number of women in parliament, which is still really inadequate.”

Elizabeth Evans, a politics lecturer at the University of Bristol and co-convenor of the European Conference on Politics and Gender, says some male MPs get extreme abuse – particularly racist, homophobic or antisemitic attacks – but female MPs face far more. “It will make them think twice about public profile and the kind of things they want to say online,” she says. “It is effectively shutting down spaces for women who are not only representing their constituencies, but women in general.”

If you are getting death or rape threats on a day-to-day basis, of course it will have an impact on your life, says Fran Amery, lecturer in politics at the University of Bath and co-convenor of the Women and Politics specialist group of the Political Studies Association. “[For MPs] Twitter is a very useful means of communication, and if it is becoming something that is more difficult for women to access, that’s a problem.” Last month, Phillips said she was considering leaving Twitter because of the amount of abuse directed at her: “It’s not a solution just to block and ignore them in my case. The only solution in stopping me seeing it is if I stop going on Twitter, which is a very real possibility.”

Amery is pessimistic that anything will really change, even after the horrific events of this week. “There are already attempts to treat this as an isolated event, describing the suspect as a loner. There is a reluctance among some people to see this in the context of things like misogyny, online abuse, racism, xenophobia.”

The response to the treatment of online abuse from platforms such as Twitter and Facebook has been sorely lacking. “I think the industry is still getting away with ignoring this problem,” says Miller. “I don’t think they take it seriously. It’s for parliamentarians to really call time on the sorts of behaviour that would be absolutely unacceptable in any other environment. The Reclaim the Internet campaign is an important step forward in making that voice heard. I’ve secured a debate in parliament in July on online abuse and I will be continuing to press the government on taking action to make sure we’ve got robust laws, prosecuting individuals who are behaving in a way that is absolutely unacceptable in British society today, but also looking for ways to make sure that platforms are accountable for the way they are designing their products, and are also transparent on the number of reports of serious abuse they receive. Because these figures are less than forthcoming.”

Annesley thinks that, for a lot of female MPs, the explosion of online abuse “has become almost unbearable. The way women in public life are being threatened is really intensifying. I think we have a particular responsibility to keep MPs safe, and a special duty to make sure female MPs are treated with the equal amount of respect.”

One aide who works for a female MP, and asked to remain anonymous, said he was shocked by the amount and nature of tweets, Facebook messages and emails that her office receives every day. “It’s a full range, from sexist insults to discussions of her sex life and appearance, to explicit threats of sexual violence,” he says. “I’ve seen female MPs in great distress [after] reading some of the things that are said about them.”

He regularly reports the abuse to the police, and around 10% of it is deemed to be illegal or worth following up, even though all of it is deeply upsetting. “The police are sympathetic, but within the confines of the law. It’s difficult for them to police all of the abuse.

“The ones that are trying to be open and accessible are the ones who are going to be more affected by this stuff. I know MPs who don’t have a constituency office, let alone a Facebook page. The ones who try to show leadership in their communities are the ones who are most vulnerable to abuse. I’ve had conversations with [the MP he works for] about whether she wants to stay on Twitter. If she left, not only would that let those people win, but it would make her less accessible to her constituents.”

Dealing with abuse takes a huge amount of time and emotional energy, when an MP would rather be getting on with their job. There are posts – particularly vile, threatening messages – he doesn’t show to his boss and passes to the police, although the MP is told about them. “It’s disturbing for everybody, not just for her, but us as well,” he says.

The abuse of politicians, but especially the women in public life who get the worst of it, looks very different this week. “What kind of environment have we created,” says Siddiq, “when someone felt like they could attack their member of parliament in this vicious manner? That’s something that needs to be challenged.”

NORFOLK, VA—ODU two-time All-American field hockey defender of the year Christy Longacre (Bethlehem, PA.) and All-American soccer forward Tim Hopkinson (Nottingham, England) were named Athletes of the Year by the Old Dominion University Alumni Association, while seniors Nikkie Clarke (Annandale, VA.) of women’s soccer, Dillon Paiva (Raleigh, NC. ) of sailing and James Brockington (Oxfordshire, England) of golf were named the 2014 recipients of the Jack Wilkins/James Howard Scholar Athletes of the Year at the annual Old Dominion University Athletic honors banquet Monday night.

Hopkinson was a second team All-American by the NSCAA coaches and College Soccer News and was a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy (National Player of the Year), winning the fan poll. He was named first team NSCAA All-South Region, Conference USA’s Offensive Player of the Year, and first team All-C-USA. Hopkinson led the league in total goals (12) and total points (28). He scored his second hat trick of his career with three goals against VMI. Hopkinson ranked 11th nationally in total goals and 15th nationally in total points. Hopkinson completed his career at ODU as fourth all-time with 33 career goals, third all-time at ODU in career points with 85,and seventh all-time with 19 career assists. He helped lead ODU to second place in C-USA and to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Last week, Hopkinson was awarded the Tom Scott award by the Norfolk Sports Club as ODU’s top senior athlete. He will graduate in May with a degree in business/accounting.

Longacre, the BIGEAST Defensive Player of the Year, was selected a first team All American by the NFHCA. As a junior she was named an NFHCA Second Team All-American and CAA Defensive Player of the Year. In addition, Longacre is a National Field Hockey Coaches Association All-South Region member and was named to the BIGEAST All-Tournament Team, as well as first team All-Conference selection. The senior co-captain helped ODU to their first BIGEAST conference regular season title and helped anchor an ODU defense that recorded eight shutouts on the season. The Lady Monarchs only allowed 25 goals, the lowest total in the league, and scored 20 goals during her career. She graduated in December with a degree in sports management and is now an assistant coach at Ball State.

The Jack Wilkins/James Howard Scholar Athletes of the Year are presented to the male and female senior athletes with the highest cumulative grade point averages. Both Howard and Wilkins were instrumental in the formation of the ODU Intercollegiate Foundation, now the Old Dominion Athletic Foundation.

This year, there are co-male recipients with James Brockington of men’s golf and Dillon Paiva of sailing.

James Brockington was the 2010-11 champion at the Joe Agee tournament and he placed 10th in the 2011-12 event. He tied for 38th at the Caribbean Classic. The native of Oxfordshire, England will graduate in May with a 3.54 grade point average and a degree in sports management with a marketing minor.

Dillon Paiva was a May 2013 ICSA National All-Academic Sailing team selection as well as the Robert Hobbs Sportsman of the Year recipient, becoming the second Monarch sailor to receive this award. Paiva earned first team All-MAISA honors for coed skippers and helped lead the Monarchs to the coed dinghy national semifinals with a second place finish. Paiva graduated in December with a degree in English, and a 3.54 grade point average.

Lady Monarch defender Nikki Clarke anchored the Lady Monarch defense for four seasons. She played in all 71 matches and will graduate in May with a 3.80 grade point average in criminal justice, with a minor in psychology. She was selected to Conference USA’s first team All-Academic squad and was active in the Student Activities Council at Old Dominion.

Move Over Hollow-Points, This R.I.P. 9mm Ammo Means Business

Move Over Hollow-Points, This R.I.P. 9mm Ammo Means Business

What’s the use in shooting your assailant if he can still keep coming at you? If you’re gonna stop him, stop him for good. The above 9mm R.I.P. bullet, from G2Research in Georgia, claims to be “The Last Round You’ll Ever Need”, and looking at its construction, we’re tempted to believe them. It’s a CNC machined projectile made from copper, which has 8 separating “Trocar-shaped bits that are designed specifically to damage your internal organs. They’ll split apart as the bullet rips through your tissue, and create a 6″ diameter spread of destruction inside of you. The remainder of the bullet continues in a straight path, penetrating up to 16″.

There’s all kinds of fancy talk of features on the website, but really that’s all you need to know. It’s a bullet with 8 metal bits that separate into a cone of death upon impact. We don’t know how much they cost, but production is underway. Hit the jump for links and video.

    Preliminary independent testing is indicating this ammo maybe isn’t all its cracked up to be.

Boxee TV Lets You DVR With No Limits

The Boxee Box brought with it lots of hype, but it’s a hard world out there for a media streamer. So the company is switching tacks and trying to enter the DVR market with an interesting offering: unlimited storage on the cloud. Most DVRs come with hard drives and after a few months of rigorous recording, you’re likely to start feeling a little squeezed. Not so with Boxee TV, which uploads everything you decide to keep, so you can pretty much record it all! And you’re then free to watch it back from any device that has access to the Internet. It has a dual tuner that allows it to display TV from over-the-air signals and basic unencrypted cable, and you’re able to record one show while watching another.

The service costs $15 a month, and will be “rolling out to 8 of the top TV markets in the US: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia and D.C. Additional markets later in 2013.”

Promise.tv DVR Records Entire Week Of Television So You Never Miss A Show Again

By David Ponce

If you live in the UK and enjoy free-to-air Freeview TV, there’s some news for you. A company called Promise.tv has announced the availability of a very special DVR. See, the Promise Seven records a rolling 7 days of every single Freeview channel; every show, every radio broadcast, simultaneously. You don’t have to program your DVR since anything you might have hoped to watch over an entire one week period is right there. That’s over 10,000 programs. The oldest programs get deleted automatically to make room for the new ones, unless you tell the device to store something for longer.

Now, fascinating as this all sounds, there are some negatives. For one, the price: the Promise Seven is a hefty £1,998 inc VAT. A smaller 3-day version is £1,200, though that’s still a lot of cash. Also… they look sort of funny. Beauty might be in the eye of the beholder, and yeah, we did make a case for the rise of the use of wood in consumer electronics but this DVR just looks bad. Maybe it’s the way the photo is taken. And that remote? What is this, the 80’s? Well, in any case, if it performs as advertised, all of that shouldn’t matter. It’s available in the London area now and will roll out to the rest of the UK during the year.

[CES 2012] Kid-Tough Portable DVR To Keep Your Own Electronics Safe

By David Ponce

Kids get bored, and when they get bored they like to play with whatever is within their reach. That’s often going to be your electronics, and you know there’s nothing quite like starting the day by discovering a drool covered iPad with a cracked screen. Better to keep the little ones entertained with a decoy device, one that actually does something cool, like the Kid-Tough Portable DVR from Fisher Price. It’s a bit more than a DVR, since it’s capable of playing back whatever it records through its 3.5inch screen and stereo speakers (or headphones jack if you value your ears). And the recording is done by connecting it to your TV via composite connection. We’re not talking high quality stuff here, but I doubt your 3 year old will complain that he can’t see all of Katie Couric’s wrinkles. Parents can set the device to record up to 24h in advance and even manually sort the recorded shows so they can be easily found and played back later. Onboard storage gives you 2h of recording time,but this can easily be expanded with a MicroSD card.

Available in May for $150.

TiVo Premiere Elite Kicks Things Up A Notch

By David Ponce

Even though it’s a dying business, cable TV is still strong enough to support a robust ecosystem of devices like the quintessential PVR: TiVo. And recently the company announced the release of their top of the line machine, the TiVo Premiere Elite. It comes with a hefty 2TB hard drive and 4 (count’em) tuners, which allows you to record 4 shows simultaneously while watching a 5th! The large hard drive will let you store up to 300 hours of HD content, which is twice the amount of the next highest-end machine. What’s more (like other TiVo boxes), the Premiere Elite “offers access to streaming services like Netflix, Pandora, Hulu Plus, Blockbuster On-Demand, and Amazon Instant Video.”

As you may know, the TiVo service isn’t free and is in addition to the cost of the machine itself. So $20/month gets you the service (or a one-time $500 lifetime fee), plus $500 for the Premiere Elite… plus whatever you pay for digital cable.

Remember we said dying model?…

TiVo Premiere Could Make An Excellent Holiday Gift, Especially From Us To You!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TiVo. All opinions are 100% mine.

By David Ponce

Without getting into a lengthy diatribe about the tectonic changes the entertainment industry is (and has been for quite some while) going through in order to deliver its product to us, let me just remind you about the impact of just one of these companies: TiVo.  They basically introduced the DVR to market and changed the way we interact with what we watch.  Gotta go pee?  Pause live TV and do it!  Of course, TiVo’s been around some time and the landscape around their pioneering product also changes, so they’ve been hard at work on their latest generation box, the TiVo Premiere.

The TiVo Premiere is a DVR reloaded.  Not only does it connect to your existing cable it also plugs into your Internet, opening the door to a bunch of new possibilities. “[Possibilities] like instant streaming from Netflix, downloads from Amazon Video On Demand, YouTube videos, music from Pandora and much more—all on your HDTV.”  The Premiere is able to record up to 45 hours of (up to) 1080p HD video and is available for $99, when you sign up for a 1-year service plan of $19.99 a month

Except of course if you happen to read OhGizmo!… and have some luck!  See, TiVo is giving a TiVo Premiere box away, with a year’s worth of $20/mo. service.  Below are the essential highlights from the rules, but we’re linking to the full fineprint below.

Rules: 1) Leave ONE comment on this post.  We’re not doing the comment a day on this giveaway. 2) It’s open to legal US residents 18-years of age or older. 3) The sweepstakes begin at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (“EST”) on December 16, 2010 and ends at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 23, 2010 (the “sweepstakes period”) 4) This is more of a request of mine: please leave more than “comment!” or “I’m in!” You won’t be disqualified if you don’t, but it makes us editors smile a little when you put in more than an iota of effort into your comments.  These giveaways are, after all, an effort to get you all lurkers to get talking a little more on the site.

Dish Network Adds Remote DVR Scheduling Feature

By Shane McGlaun

One of the features that I like about my DirecTV DVR is that I can access it via my iPhone and set shows to record from anywhere I can get a Wi-Fi or cellular signal. The DVR doesn’t even have to be connected to my Internet connection to use the app.

Dish Network has announced its own remote access program called simply Remote Access. They even offer an iPhone App just like DirecTV. The service allows users to access their DVR from anywhere in the world and schedule recordings. The catch with the Dish Network app is that the DVR has to be connected to the Internet.

Spy, Balls?

By Jonathan Kimak

This is a fairly neat looking and rather discrete video recorder. The CamBall is a miniature digital video recorder that can record MPEG-4 video in 320×240 or 640×480 resolution. It can store up to 8GB of data on a tiny SD card(and it looks like the card is sold separately).

And like many great gadgets, this one is currently only available in Korea, for around $200 US. And while my Korean language skills are limited to 0 words, my looking at a photo ability has discovered that this spy ball also has an underwater case(might be sold separately) for taking videos while you’re snorkeling or scuba diving.

There is also an alternate version that comes with an mp3 player built in.

Hitachi Announces New CinemaStar DVR Hard Drives

This post is syndicated with permission from Gadgetoholic.com

I am a DVR nut and record everything — even if I plan to watch it right then. I like to let the show get about 15 minutes ahead of live TV so I can skip all of the commercials. I also have kids so we tend to collect gobs of Dora episodes as well. When we start running out of space on the DVR, everyone gets nervous that their programs will be deleted.

Hitachi has announced some new hard drives that are aimed at the DVR user in its CinemaStar line. The more interesting of the two new drives is the CinemaStar 7K1000.B. This drive has a massive 1TB storage capacity and can hold 247 hours of MPEG-4 encoded HD video and support ten simultaneous data streams. My pathetic DVR drive can only hold 30 hours of HD programs.

Law & Order theme triggers howls

Why some dogs react the way they do to certain songs and sounds would probably make for an interesting scientific study.

Until then, we have YouTube, where a mounting number of videos, it has been noted, show dogs howling along with — or in objection to — the theme from “Law & Order.”

It’s not the first time multiple dog owners have noticed certain songs seem to cause their pets to vocalize, and captured the result on video. Remember all those videos of dogs singing along with Gwen Stefani’s “Sweet Escape?”

Just as only some dogs howl at sirens, some howl at Gwen Stefani and, for reasons just as mysterious, at the Law & Order theme. Whether they are expressing discomfort or joining the chorus, we don’t really know.

In any event, for an impressive array of dogs howling at “Law & Order,” check out the compilation video above, or visit nastynets.com.

Comment from Anne’n’Spencer
Time February 26, 2010 at 7:49 pm

As the human of a Beagle, I’m squarely in the “joining in the chorus” camp. Dogs howl to communicate, or sometimes just to see if anybody else is out there to “talk” to. (The sounds they make when in pain aren’t a thing like their sociable howls–they’re more like screams and are terrible to hear and unforgettable!) Beagles absolutely bay to communicate with each other and their humans when they’re on the trail of a scent. Some of us crazy people find the sound delightful and very musical. Spencer shows absolutely no interest in any recorded or televised music or dog noises. He doesn’t seem to recognize them. Our former foster-Beagle, Dawn (now Lily), was fascinated by dogs on television and clearly recognized them.

Risk And Opportunity

image: 12by30.com

I recently did a project for an NGO. Two projects, actually. The first was a data entry software that does analysis too. The second was creating visualizations/charts for their business plan document. They were impressed and discussed future engagements with us as they are expanding and working on a big project that cuts across Africa and the US.

I had a personal chat with the director's right hand man and it was mostly about the opportunities that lie ahead and being prepared for it. He gave me a lot of personal advice. That in business, three things matter:

  1. Integrity
  2. (funny, I've forgotten the second one), and
  3. Energy
That we've obviously got the last two. But the first one is revealed over time and is the most important. Without it, everything else crumbles. Then he recommended I read the yearly World Bank's World Development Report (WDR). Especially the 2014 one which is a 362 page report on Risk and Opportunity.

I am yet to read it fully, but from the pages I have read through, I find it a very eye-opening report. It explained from a broad perspective how opportunities are always intertwined with risks. Then it gave live case studies of how people move ahead by managing the risks rather than avoiding them.

You can download the report here: World Development Report Archive

We don't only miss opportunities when we totally avoid risks but we also open ourselves up for other set of risks and drag behind others on the road to development. The people making the most progress in life are the ones taking on the biggest risks. They are the ones going after the big opportunities that stand behind the risks others avoid.

You can be sure of a response, a very relevant one too!

Single Cup Coffee Makers Offer Even the Most Obscure Flavors

by Chris
(Seattle, WA)

Making a cup of coffee with the well known single cup coffee makers, such as Keurig and Tassimo, is easy. Just insert a K Cup or T Disc, and press the brew button.

Ondine develops innovative, non-antibiotic technologies that are lethal to a wide spectrum of pathogens including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Our platform technology utilizes light activated agents to prevent and treat infections, addressing clinical needs that are becoming more frequent and severe.

The Passion Behind Ondine Biomedical

Americans consume 25 million pounds of antibiotics every year; livestock consumes another 25 million pounds mostly for non-therapeutic reasons (ie growth promotion). Much of the human consumption (about 60%) of antibiotics is related to diagnostic uncertainty. Therefore, our misuse and overuse of antibiotics are undermining their efficacy. Antibiotic resistance is considered to be one of the world’s top ten public health issues by the CDC; indeed it should be, we are at a near crisis situation with few/no new antibiotics coming on stream due to their billion dollar price tags getting through the 6-10 year FDA process.

The human body is full of bacteria – microbes  outnumber our own cells by a factor of 10 – and we need them to survive. However, bacterial cells are capable of changing so rapidly that our human cells are often incapable of dealing with these changes. Bacteria change radically because they are able to pick up genetic material or code from live and dead bacteria and viruses.  Equally important are the changes to the virulence factors associated with bacteria. Considering the increasing incidence of drug resistant bacteria and infections, the delicate balance of human/bacterial coexistence has clearly shifted against us.

Existing antibiotics must be preserved and rotated like crops to ensure maximum efficacy and minimal resistance. It has been proven that highly resistant bugs can once again become susceptible to antibiotics after periods of non-use. Coordination on a nationwide scale is therefore important. Recognizing that this will be difficult to execute, it is imperative that new antibacterial technology be encouraged and nurtured. Our company, Ondine Biomedical, is currently working on innovative non-antibiotic technologies that show promising results against a wide spectrum of pathogens including fungus and virus. We are applying light activated agents to address topical infections, and we believe that this technology will become more widespread in the years to come.

Anil Kumble rues loss of more than 100 overs in drawn 2nd Test

Kingston (Jamaica), Aug 4: Indian coach Anil Kumble praised rookie Roston Chase's match-saving century but also lamented that losing more than 100 overs of bowling time also enabled the hosts to play out a draw in the second cricket Test, here.

Day 5 report; Match scorecard; Chase equals 50-year record

Courtesy Chase's 137 and half-centuries from Jermaine Blackwood and Shane Dowrich helped West Indies end the final day (August 3) at 388 for six from a precarious 48 for four as India could not consolidate on their 1-0 lead.

"Obviously, we wanted to win this Test match. Yesterday, we were in a very good position and credit to the West Indies batsmen, the way they batted," said Kumble after the match ended in a draw. (I doff my hat to WI: Kohli)

Chase earns praise from Kumble

"Yesterday, time was very crucial for us because we were in great momentum and the conditions were such that it could have been different if we had probably bowled more.

"There was loss of play, more than 100 overs were lost in this Test match. So all those factors mattered. In the end, credit to the West Indian batsmen in terms of how they batted today and their application as well," he added.

Talking about Chase in particular, the former Indian captain said, "It is creditable for someone playing in his second Test match, to be able to bat through the day and save the game for his team. Chase's approach today was very good. He looked to attack when needed to and blocked literally every ball. So he kept our bowlers at bay, which was obviously disappointing from the outside.

"I think all their batsmen, right from Jermaine Blackwood, Jason Holder and Shane Dowrich, all of them applied themselves. It's something that we also have to sit down and analyse as to how we're going to get the last five wickets because in this series they have certainly contributed," he added.

India bowled out West Indies for just 196 runs in their first innings, and then thanks to centuries from KL Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane, managed to put up 500/9d. The scoring rate was a bit low as compared to the Antigua Test, and particularly in light of the tropical storm hitting Jamaica on day three and four.

"You can't really look at the forecast and take decisions," said the coach.

"If you looked at the forecast on day three, it was supposed to rain the whole day, and even on day four it was supposed to rain. So you can't really look at the forecast and decide what you need to do. Yes, you strategize slightly differently."

"Having said that, we wanted to bat once because we didn't want to declare with just a lead of 160 runs and then bat again on the fifth day. I thought we played really good cricket and we were dominant right throughout. Today the change in momentum happened and credit to the West Indies' batsmen."

Roston Chase plays a shot en route to his maiden Test ton

The Indian coach accepted that the position that they were in, Kohli and co. should have won the match.

"From the position, we were in, we should have probably wrapped up the Test match, but having said that this is certainly something that happens in a Test match. Sometimes the opposition puts up a brave challenge and that's exactly what happened," he added.

'Hard for our bowlers'

Despite being reduced to 48 for 4 on the rain-marred day four then, West Indies were able to put up a momentous batting display and get away with a draw in this second Test. While Chase's knock must be celebrated, at the same time, it ought to be mentioned that a five-bowler attack couldnt take six wickets on fifth day pitch.

"The plan was always to take wickets. Initially, since we had 300 runs on the board, we were attacking and they came hard at us as well, and they got away in the five or six overs. They got a lot of runs.

"And once that period happened, I believe the ball went a bit soft as well. So it was quite difficult to get the purchase that we were getting yesterday and the conditions were different as well."

Kumble admitted that overcast conditions on the fourth day helped the seamers get more swing.

"It was cloudy, there was some rain about and there was a lot more swing yesterday. So in that sense, we could have probably adapted better. Having said that though, the West Indies' batsmen really applied themselves, so it was quite hard for our bowlers and this was certainly a learning spell.

"I'm sure on the next opportunity, whenever that is, the bowlers will be probably come up with a different approach, in terms of the challenge," Kumble signed off.

New Delhi, May 15: In yet another setback for Sushil Kumar, the double Olympic-medallist has been omitted from the Wrestling Federation of India's Rio Preparatory camp, which is scheduled to begin in Sonepat from Wednesday, as only the quota place earning wrestlers have been included in the list.

As per rules, Narsingh Pancham Yadav has been included in the men's 74kg freestyle division for the camp as he had acquired the berth at the World Championship last year, while Sushil's name does not figure.

Setback for Sushil Kumar, champion wrestler not part of WFI's Rio camp

"The Rio preparatory camp is starting on Wednesday and all those wrestlers who have earned Olympic quota places are being included in the camp," a WFI official told PTI.

"But if Sushil wants to be a part of the camp, he is most welcome," he added.

The camp was earlier supposed to begin from May 16 but has now been postponed to Wednesday.

Although in every weight category there would be more than one wrestler at the camp, including 74kg, to give the Rio-bound athletes a good practice, WFI said all the qualified grapplers chose their sparring partners and the Federation had no say in that.

Explaining Sushil's exclusion, the official said: "It is important to allow the wrestlers to opt for their own sparring partners because that would protect them from any unwarranted injury or harm during the camp. There might be problems if there is some personal animosity between the two grapplers. That's why WFI did not choose any partner."

Meanwhile, WFI denied getting any instruction from the government regarding the conduct of trials in 74kg between Sushil and Narsingh.

"So far, no directions have come from the government. There may be something in the coming days. But as of now, there is nothing."

With WFI not showing much interest in conducting a trial in 74kg, fearing demands from other wrestlers in remaining seven weight categories India has earned for Rio, Sushil has already taken the matter to the doorsteps of Prime Minister's Office.

The 32-year-old has also appealed to the Sports Ministry, IOA, WFI and fans to give him a chance to undergo a trial for the Rio Games, as according to the rules, quota belongs to the country and not to a particular wrestler.

8/11: Muschamp updates injuries, backup quarterback, progress after nine practices

By Adam Silverstein
August 11, 2014

Florida Gators head coach Will Muschamp met with the media on Monday to discuss how the team is progressing in fall training camp. The Gators have completed seven days of practice to this point.

Though most of the injuries Florida players have suffered early this fall are minor, the list is beginning to lengthen with the Gators now nine practices into training camp.

Sophomore cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III, who was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his knee on Thursday, has not yet returned to practice and spent Monday running in an anti-gravity treadmill. He is expected to return to the field on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Redshirt senior wide receiver Andre Debose and junior running back Matt Jones, both of whom are returning after suffering season-ending knee injuries in 2013, had swelling in the joint and did not practice Monday. Debose should return on Wednesday, while Jones might be back as early as Tuesday.

Sophomore running back Kelvin Taylor missed practice with a strained hamstring and will be held out until the end of the week, either Thursday or Friday barring an unforeseen setback. Junior defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard (ankle) did not practice Monday but will be back Tuesday.

Four players including redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Trip Thurman, redshirt freshman defensive ends Bryan Cox, Jr. and Alex McCalister, and freshman defensive back Duke Dawson all suffered shoulder injuries over the weekend but “should be fine” in the next few days.

Additionally, freshman DL Taven Bryan, who had been impressing Muschamp early in training camp, has strep throat and is day-to-day. “I hate that Taven has strep throat, because I thought he was making some progress. This will set him back,” he said.

Already out of action, freshman DL Thomas Holley continues to recover from a sports hernia that occurred in high school. Due to the build up of scar tissue, he will need minor surgery and remain out of action indefinitely until given clearance by doctors.

“They’re going to go in and shave that down, but I don’t know what the time frame is for that. I want to say the surgery is Tuesday,” Muschamp explained. “It’s not a major procedure, it’s more like having a scope done. He had some scar tissue that was built up that was very of discomforting when he ran, so he will be out for some time, but I do not know how much.”

Muschamp has not named a backup for redshirt junior quarterback Jeff Driskel and will not for another 7-10 days, especially considering no one from the pack has stepped up to win the job at this time.

“We still are a work in progress behind Jeff. Need to continue to have those guys [compete],” he said. “Those guys were live [Sunday], they went against live rush. We got to do a better job getting rid of the football and taking care of the football. Ball security at that position was not very good.”

Muschamp later added: “Behind Jeff at quarterback, we need to make some strides, which we haven’t. Not that the guys aren’t working, not that we don’t think we can be productive, we just need more production.”

Redshirt sophomore Skyler Mornhinweg brings a bit of experience as a three-game starter in 2013, but he was not successful in his starts and has limited athleticism. Freshmen Will Grier and Treon Harris, both four-star prospects, have the arm strength and athletic talent but are still inexperienced despite Grier being enrolled for spring practice.

Here is sophomore wide receiver Demarcus Robinson corralling six punts:

With a pair of unquestioned starters at offensive tackle in junior D.J. Humphires (left) and redshirt senior Chaz Green (right), UF is now looking for depth at the position.

It looks like Muschamp has found some, primarily in redshirt freshman Roderick Johnson, who was named Florida’s third offensive tackle on Monday, the primary reserve behind the Gators’ starters.

Senior Trenton Brown, who is competing for a starting job at guard, would be Florida’s fourth tackle if the season started today, while freshman David Sharpe, who “athletically is there, mentally needs to come on,” is fifth on the depth chart.

Florida’s place kicking woes cost it wins in 2013, and Muschamp is determined not to let that happen again. The Gators have been putting their kickers in pressure situations at the end of practices and scrimmages with the results being positive…when the ball is able to get off the ground.

According to Muschamp, redshirt sophomore Austin Hardin went 6-for-7 on field goals during Sunday’s scrimmage, while redshirt senior Frankie Velez was 3-for-3 and redshirt sophomore transfer Brooks Abbott (Virginia Tech) went 4-for-5.

Where Florida is struggling in the kicking game is with its snaps and operation time, a bit of a surprise considering the Gators have two veteran long snappers in redshirt senior Drew Ferris and redshirt junior Kyle Crofoot.

“I think competition has helped [the kickers], number one. I have been disappointed with our operation from snap to hold. That’s where you got Drew Ferris and Kyle Crofoot have held enough,” he said. “I told both of those guys after the scrimmage, ‘For you guys to have played and played very well for us, we got some guys that need confidence in what you guys are doing. When you guys are doing a better job, no different than being a quarterback and not having the confidence in a receiver of what he’s trying to do.’ So, we’ve got to get better there as well.”

» Redshirt senior tight end Jake McGee: “Very good ball skills, good vertical speed, guy that can be a playmaker in the passing game for us. He will do enough, in the run game, to make people account for him.”

» Redshirt freshman WR Alvin Bailey, who is playing in the slot: “Alvin’s done a nice job. He’s been more consistent catching the ball. That’s been a little bit of an issue, but he’s done a nice job. It was a tough transition for him last year because he played mostly quarterback at Armwood [High School]. But he continues to improve.”

» Freshman WR C.J. Worton: “We had a meeting Sunday night as a staff after the scrimmage, and he was a guy that we talked about as the offensive staff, myself, as a guy we need to get more snaps. He really can run on the top end, got really good ball skills. Typical of any younger player at this time, I told the staff, this is when you start finding out the guys that are mature enough to handle it because they’ve got more on them mentally than they’ve ever had before. How are they handling all the stuff? … C.J., to this point, needs to spend more time in his playbook but certainly on the field has been very productive.”

» Redshirt senior linebacker Michael Taylor: “Mike, number one, has slimmed his body down, lost some weight and kept his strength. Mike is a very intelligent, smart player, understands what we do and how we do it and the things we need to do, adjustment wise. We put a lot of linebackers and we can because of guys like him and Antonio [Morrison] and Jarrad Davis. Those guys can handle the volume, but I’ve been pleased with Mike. I plan on him starting. I think he’s a good player, and he’s a physical, tough presence. He’s a guy that has been in the war before and understands what it’s going to take week in, week out in our league. We’ll play very well with mike at linebacker.”

» Sophomore safety Keanu Neal: “Keanu Neal, right now, is our best safety. Past that, we’ll see.”

» Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Joey Ivie: “Joey Ivie has really done some nice things; we’ve moved him to tackle. He’s up right at 285-290 [pounds], but he’s a guy that’s really playing square, playing blocks well. Very pleased with his progress through camp. … He’s just playing blocks extremely well. We just got to continue to build depth inside. He’s holding the point extremely well. He’s getting off blocks well. He’s a guy that has progressed very well, steady progression through every day at practice. …. He’s been much more consistent in his play and how he’s playing. That’s been a really good, pleasant – not surprised – but we’re really pleased with where he is.”

» Freshman DL Gerald Willis: “Gerald just needs to be more consistent. There’s no question the instincts for playing blocks, he’s a heavy-handed guy. But there’s a lot swimming right now, a lot. What we’ve tried to do is continue the installation for our team but reduce the play list on both sides of the ball for our younger players to make sure you get to a fine line of where they’re thinking about too much, their fundamentals, technique and effort go out the door. And that’s what you can’t lose. So we’re trying to reduce the play look for some of those guys yet keep the installation going.”

» Muschamp is also pleased with the progression of redshirt freshman DTs Jay-nard Bostwick and Caleb Brantley, both of whom have improved themselves in fall camp to this point.

» On Florida’s Sunday scrimmage, which included 80-85 snaps: “I thought it was pretty good, earlier than we ever have done [a scrimmage] before. I felt like we needed to get out and let the guys play a little bit. New offense, let those guys makes adjustments on the field, continue to work on being a good situational team. But I thought we got a lot of good things done in the scrimmage. First and second units about 40 snaps each in the scrimmage.”

» On the Gators being careful about riding scooters and one injury that occurred this offseason: “I talked to them a lot about it. It’s hard sometimes. A young man cannot afford a car, but he can afford a scooter, and he needs transportation. There’s been many a night I’ve thought about banning them, but I don’t know that’s the right thing to do. … Let’s be smart, be responsible. No texting and scootering at the same time, we do have that rule. We’ve talked to our guys. Keanu Neal got fortunate. He had a tire slip this summer on a deal. His girlfriend [Kytra Hunter] is a gymnast, she’s a much better athlete than him. Nothing happened to her. He messed his finger up. She’s a lot better athlete. I should have recruited her. We emphasize it with our players. We tell them about it. They got to understand being careful, but they can’t live in a glass bubble.”

» On getting on young defensive backs, including freshman Jalen Tabor, in practice: “It’s not just Jalen, it’s all young players. Most of them have a hard time, down in and down out, series in and series out, day after day of playing a certain way. Whether it’s with pad level, your eye control, your leverage, all of those little things that are taken for granted when you’re that much better, which he was in high school, he didn’t have to worry about those things. Now you’re in a situation where you’re playing guys as good as you. It comes back to fundamentals and technique. Those are things that young players, and [Jalen’s] very coachable because he’s a guy that’s able to listen, learn and move to the next snap. If he can’t handle me yelling, he not going to handle 90,000 people, I assure tell you that. He’s a guy that, we need some separation at corner. These guys everything happens for a reason in live. These guys, because of Vernon being out a couple days, has been awesome for them to be able to get all of the reps and put them in all those situations.”

» On the progress of Florida’s young secondary: “Secondary, we made some poor decision [Monday morning] on the ball, guys knowing when to hook and swat, secure the receiver and knock the ball off them, and we need to go for the interception. Judgment on the back end has not been very good. That comes sometimes with young players. We got some talented guys at the position to make plays; they have to make better decisions on how to make the play.”

  1. Dave Massey says:

    Are they considering redshirting Holley? Seems like we’re pretty deep on the D-line.

  2. gatorboi352 says:

    And thus the nagging pains begin. Let’s see how many are truly just “the start of practice” type of one offs and which ones linger and keep guys out come week 1 (….2….3….).

  3. W2 says:

    We’ll no bad news is good news. Let’s Go Gators

  4. John B says:

    Adam – do you know what the deal is with Drew Sarvary? Is he hurt? I thought he might be in the mix on the OL depth chart but haven’t heard anything thus far.

  5. J.A. says:

    Personally, guys I want to see our defense improve. I didn’t think they played well last year and especially on 3rd down. Seemed like they could never get off the field. Also, I’m looking forward to seeing if Hargreaves is the real deal or not. Last year he took some risky gambles for ints and luckily it paid off. We’ll see. Can’t go anywhere but up from last year!

    • mjGator says:

      I’d like to see improvement in our defensive coaching. Hargreaves is an extremely talented corner. His athleticism can overcome some of his questionable decisions. When those decisions match his ability, he will be something special.

  6. Michael J. says:

    I am interested in seeing why Humphries is an “unquestioned” starter. He hasn’t been a good player, so far. Has he got better? Will he live up to the hype this year? As for Sarvary, I’m not surprised that he’s not a factor. Nobody wanted him, unlike Brown who was coveted by a lot of teams. Usually you don’t take a JUCO unless you think they can play right away. Perhaps UF missed on him.
    Speaking of JUCO’s, UF needs to get a couple of linemen this year that can play right away with the guys they will be losing on both sides of the ball after this season.p

  7. G2 says:

    Can’t get too excited about WM’s comments (broken record) but seems like we have some good young talent. May be a year away from something really good unless we have a minimum of injuries. What concerns me most is were too young at DB (experience) and no sure number 2 QB. At least we have 3 cupcakes to start the season to iron things out.

  8. Michael Jones says:

    I wish he would declare Mornhinweg the 2nd string QB and let the two kids, Grier and Harris, watch, practice, and learn this year. Let them take a redshirt and develop.

    Mornhinweg’s delivery looks a little unorthodox but he is better in all departments–including arm strength, accuracy and athleticism–than he is ever given credit for being. Plus he has some live SEC experience and he’s a gamer who tends to make good decisions. All that has to count for something.

    We fans tend to get too down on a player too quickly sometimes and then we never let up. I think Mornhinweg has experienced some of that.

    • Michael J. says:

      One of the freshen have to play this year, and get some meaningful snaps. Morninhweg, bless his heart, just doesn’t have the physical tools to play quarterback. It’s one thing to have a weak arm, you can make up for that if you’re an athletic guy hthat can hurt a defense with his legs, but Morninhweg doesn’t have that skill set either. Also, if Jeff Driskel has a good year, he’ll be off to the NFL. He’s the prototypical NFL quarterback when it comes to his body. He has the height, speed, and arm strength that has the scouts drooling. If he puts together a good year and shows some accuracy, poise, and good decision making skills, and actually shows he can read a defense, he could be a first rounder. If that happens, he’s gone. I don’t now if either Grier or Harris could turn out to be a redshirt freshman like Winston or Manziel, but the odds are pretty stacked against that happening. The odds are also pretty stacked against Driskel becoming the player I described above, but it’s probably more likely than one of the freshman quarterbacks being as good as Manziel or Winston.

        He’s got the type offense he needs finally, got some talent around him, think we’ll be surprised how good he is.
