Envato has actually released numerous initiatives over the years and some of them have been considerably popular. Brand names like Tuts+, FreelanceSwitch, AppStorm, Creattica and Rockable Press had made their presence felt and much of these niche sites are still operational catering to their target market. The most popular effort and ultimately brand of Envato takes place to be ThemeForest. It is likewise the most successful venture of the business. ThemeForest is basically an international market where you can access HTML templates and themes for WordPress, Magento and Joomla to name a few content management systems and website building platforms. ThemeForest is an open source platform so designers from all around the world, neither employed by Envato nor on any type of contract, can contribute to the stock of themes and templates readily available on the site. But being open source likewise has its imperfections. Not all themes have the assistance you might need as Envato is not straight accountable for such backend infrastructure unless they develop and own a theme. ThemeForest serves as a facilitator when third party designers offer their themes to website designers, webmasters and business owners.
Being an open source platform also has its benefits. ThemeForest has actually handled to bring aboard some of the finest WordPress developers from throughout the world and that has assisted the platform to have some amazing themes with excellent performance. Hundreds of designers have actually cracked in with their efforts sometimes and those ThemeForest WordPress themes are clearly amongst the very best you can get. Owing to the active participation of innovative designers, ThemeForest has managed to grow its inventory to more than thirty 8 thousand themes, website design templates, plug-ins and tools for WordPress and other platforms. Open source platforms have always paved the way for sensible rates or free themes. While you can always download ThemeForest free themes, you may also think about among the premium or paid ThemeForest HTML templates. The paid or superior ThemeForest WordPress templates are as reasonable as $2. Of course there are some themes that are tremendously more expensive but you can get some themes that are very inexpensive. You can not envision downloading a superior theme from a lot of developers that would begin with as low as $2. ThemeForest claims to have the largest global neighborhood of innovative developers and there is no excellent need to question that. Till date, ThemeForest has sold more than forty 2 million themes, design templates, tools and plug-ins to name a few items. The community of designers on ThemeForest has made more than 5 hundred million through sales.
Whether you prefer a ThemeForest complimentary download or you consider an exceptional theme, you can feel confident of its performance and graphics, features and dependability. Every theme, design template, plug-in or any tool established by anybody on the open source platform is examined by the Envato group. A team of experts conduct substantial tests and only after meticulous evaluation and complete satiation do they make the item available free of charge or paid download. The evaluation group doesn't hinder the economics of the proposition but as far as performance, graphics, energy, reliability, functions and security are worried, all themes and design templates, plug-ins and tools among others undergo a stringent review. Many designers get their first submissions denied owing to some reason or the other and their developments just get approved after they have actually been improved and all recognized loopholes have been plugged.
There are more than two thousand six hundred ThemeForest WordPress themes. These do not consist of plug-ins, tools, site templates or email templates and other items. It is unlikely that you would not discover the kind of theme that's perfect for your website provided the nature of your company, kind of branding you wish to establish and the target audience you want. ThemeForest is no less than Elegant Themes when it pertains to variety of themes. ThemeForest really has much more options than Elegant Themes and is far more reasonable with most of its themes than the latter. Elegant Themes is not known to have the most affordable items in this specific niche.
ThemeForest free themes and premium ThemeForest HTML templates are nicely categorized. You can use themes or design templates perfect for blog sites, creative websites, publications or digital publications, business sites, retail websites, technology sites or entertainment websites, ecommerce site or online shop, nonprofit sites or others. All websites would be responsive and are totally personalized.


Campus placements play a major role in shaping up the career goals of students. It is the dream of every engineering student to get placed in a top organization visiting their campus for recruitment. Recruiters visiting our college seek for candidates who are ready for the industry and have the etiquettes necessary for the corporate world.
During campus placements, recruiters test for an array of skill sets in their potential employees. In addition to being knowledgeable in their core subjects, students should also possess great aptitude, reasoning and soft skills.
This is the reason why we at SMART Training Resources have developed courses specific to placement training for students.

The tagline is: "This Valentine…love will be murdered".
Meet bimbo No. 1 in SA. Her acting skills can't be analyzed solely because I was not able to see anything but her big nose, which sometimes becomes more red than her lipstick. She is dating Randeep Hooda (Tharki No. 1) whose kismet is seriously foota. Even Bimbo No. 1's nose color could vary more than his expressions. But he is the prettiest person amongst all hands down.
Bimbo and Tharki shift to India where Bimbo wants to test his love for her. She locks herself in a bomb proof secret chamber in her own house and takes important things like purse (probably for shopping in a hideout room made in 1947) and keys for everything but the chamber. Smart girl! If no sound can be heard from inside, from where the hell does oxygen come in! The room also has leftovers from 1947 for her to eat. LOL! The chamber has 2 one-sided transparent doors and loudspeakers to hear what goes on in the main house. Big Boss inspired?
Now of course, Bimbo 1 gets locked in and hence, enters Bimbo No. 2. She is a waitress and hence can afford only bare minimal clothes. She stays in a good apartment which surely she cannot afford by working overtime.
Tharki soon brings Bimbo 2 to his house and wins her over with dialogues where vocal variations are as good as a dead person's ECG. Yippee!
Now onwards all the activities are of course carried out in front of the two see through doors in a house stretched only across a few acres.
Enter Faaltu 1 and Faaltu 2. Both are cops involved in the most epic dialogue of the movie.
While Bimbo 1 and 2 are having conversations through a basin, faaltu 2 is busy hitting on Bimbo 2. Meanwhile, Tharki's escapades come to light and Bimbo 2 decides to free Bimbo 1 from the chamber. But ofcourse, she gets locked in now.
Bimbo 1 flees back to SA and faaltu 2 comes to save Bimbo 2. As he puts his gun up, we the viewers, bow our heads down in shame for wasting a few thousand paise.
Oh BTW I forgot.. Movie has just ended.

The majority of the so-called "better" Lwow society is not familiar with the ins and outs of this suburb, located right next to downtown Lwow, yet so alien to it"" - Adam Krajewski, Lwowskie przedmieścia ("Lwow's Suburbs"), 1909
The suburbs north of the medieval city were considered ""special"" practically throughout Lviv's entire history. The territory between the Poltva river and the High Castle was not part of the city until the late 18th century. For this reason, this district became the home of those who had trouble settling within Lviv's official city limits. These were mainly the indigent, and those suffering religious persecution - Jews above all.
By the late 18th century, the Austrian authorities incorporated the nearest northern environs to Lwow, forming the Zhovkva suburb. However, the "suburban" character of the district remained. The suburb continued to be characterized by a concentration of retailers, artisans and the poor - as well as remaining the seat of a numerous Jewish community. Over the 19th century, this part of the city experienced growth, like other districts, but remained secondary in terms of construction quality and sanitary conditions. In the minds of many of Lviv's residents, Pidzamche remains a periphery to this day.
The changes brought to the city by the Second World War left their most radical and tragic imprint in the city's norther environs. In 1941, after the city was taken by German troops, it was precisely in the territory of Pidzamche, Zamarstynow, and Kleparow, that the Jüdische Wohnbezirke - the Jewish ghetto - was formed.
Along with the Yanivskyi concentration camp, Lysynychi, and the Vynnyky forest, the ghetto became one of the main Holocaust sites in Lwow.
Having returned to Lwow after the war, the Soviet authorities strove to change the order of things and introduce the main principles of Soviet statehood: a single-party system and Communist ideology in all spheres of life; the abolition of private property, the subordination of the individual to the collective, and intense industrialization. These changes meant loss of life, and ruined lives for hundreds of thousands of people. At the same time, these radical changes created opportunities for social advancement, primarily through education. The development of a Soviet Pidzamche was evident in priority development of factories, but had little effect on the quality of life of the district's residents. In a country, where "victory of the working class" had been proclaimed, Pidzamche remained a secondary and marginalized district, overshadowed not just by the central part of the city, but also by the new residential districts.
Images are compiled in frames of the research project "Searching for Home" in Postwar Lviv: The Experience of Pidzamche, 1944-1960."

Since its founding in 1876, Grove City College, in Grove City, Pennsylvania, has committed itself to Christian principles and the highest academic standards. These ideals began in the heart of GCC's founder Isaac Ketler, who was a student of Joseph Newton Pew. Pew, who was a teacher before later becoming highly successful in business, was elected as GCC's first board president when it was reorganized as a nonprofit institution in 1895.
Grove City College teaches and advocates free market economic theory. By "practicing what it preaches," the College maintains competitively low fees and a superior academic program. Grove City College operates on a balanced budget, refuses federal aid and remains virtually debt-free, thereby proving that higher education can operate responsibly by providing an affordable, first-rate education without government funding or mandates. Demonstrating this commitment, Grove City College challenged federal regulation during the 1980s (and WON!)
Since that time, Grove City College has distinguished itself by reaching families of modest means who desire a college that will strengthen their children's spiritual and moral character.
Several years ago College administrators and faculty undertook the task of determining how best to enhance the learning process for Grove City College students. After months of study, the College community emerged with a clear understanding of the preparations necessary to meet the needs of future generations of students, and presented a plan to the Board of Trustees for an increase in scholarship endowment and physical plant improvements.
"We were excited about these goals," recalls Dr. John Moore, past-president of Grove City College. "But at the same time, we also had to come to terms with the fact that we had never conducted a capital campaign like this before. This was new territory for us, and we knew that we would need some outside help."Goettler Associates was brought in to assess what steps GCC must take for immediate, as well as ongoing fund-raising success. "Not only did we have to work with Grove City College to lay the foundation for a successful capital campaign," comments Dr. Frank Oliver, of Goettler Associates, "we were also charged with the job of helping them build their development department from the ground up."
"The firm was instrumental in helping us to recruit Tom Poppalardo, to the position of Vice President of Development," Dr. Moore continues. "Through his own professional expertise and with the guidance of Goettler Associates, Tom has been instrumental running an ambitious capital campaign while also building an infrastructure for ongoing development."
As a result of prudent planning and astounding leadership from the board and College family, the original campaign goal of $45 million was surpassed, and even exceeded its stretch goal of $60 million.
"It has been a challenging task, but the results speak for themselves," Dr. Moore asserts. "Sometimes, you need to go outside for help. When you do, I encourage other organizations first to seek out an organization whose people are honest and forthcoming. Seek out an organization that is experienced, that knows the dynamics involved. Also, their people must sincerely listen, and understand your needs and your point of view."
"A HUGE and ringing endorsement for Goettler Associates. The firm directed the Library's very successful capital campaign 10 years ago. After a competitive vetting process, we selected them again to do work this year. They just completed a campaign planning study for us for a major gift/endowment campaign. The final report was excellent, and very thorough. Mr. Goettler had good rapport with staff, elected officials and trustees – and that interpersonal magic should not be discounted. The community leaders he interviewed had good feedback on his professionalism."
- Cathi Alloway, Library Director, Schlow Centre Region Library
If I had a life to live over, I think I would want to do what you folks do with others. I remember with great fondness your effective guidance with the KSU-A campaign. Great fun!
- Glen Warner, Campaign Chair, Kent State University Ashtabula


I am Gaia, and I am here to remind you that human consciousness is awakening on a deeper and deeper level–all of us are connected. Now some of you grow weary in pursuing the idea that all is unity and all are One, and therefore, people must avoid conflicts at all costs. Now is this always wise? No. The issue behind this conundrum for some of you is again one of balance.
I am Gaia. What does that mean to you? Do you feel a connection when I speak my name to your hearts? Do you feel the breath of remembrance that causes you to seek the truths within your own hearts that we are all truly connected with each other—in love. Do you feel that there is no difference between you and I? There is no hierarchy where I sit in judgment of anyone. We are equals in light and truth. Each human being who walks upon this earth is an equal to every being who you may call the grandest beings of light—even the arch angels are this—your brothers and sisters of light.
I am Gaia, and I hold each one of you always in my embrace. In this role, I act as a mother to every human on the earth. But you see, it is not just the humans that share this role. I am also mother to the plants, animals, divas, and elementals—all life that moves upon the physical earth.
Know that I am Gaia, your sister, your equal, your ever-present source and reminder of the love of home that truly lives within each and everyone of you.
I am Gaia and my heart extends to each one of you in a circle of infinite love. Many of you do not grasp the significance of the biology and the geometry behind the circle as a motif of life. It is true that many of your ancients have portrayed the true workings of life within the embrace of the everlasting circle, but what is it, and what does it mean?
I am Gaia and I wish for you to hear me this day with your hearts. Know, Dear Ones, that the happenings upon my body are not travesties at all. By human standards, they may seem to lack integrity for the good of the entire planet. Know that there is a purpose in the great clearing of energies that is currently happening all across the globe.
Many of you feel weighed down with the day to day drudgeries of life. At times it feels to you as if the walls of time stand still and you do not know where to turn or how to pursue the higher energies that will surely bring greater enlightenment. Where do you turn, Dear Ones? The answer is within, always, always within. Take a deep breathe.
You see, Dear Ones the forces that shape your earth are losing their grip on furthering the energies of force, divisions, and limitation. It has been said by many on the forefront of change that these energies are something to be feared. I tell you they are not. Your media portrays the events of change as lack and inhumanity, but do you not feel a subtle difference taking place? It may not be so obvious in how people react to what they see, but when you step back and observe, you can feel the changes in attitudes that are taking place.


Model: While it's uncommon to hear HP and gaming in one sentence as of late this isn't such the case. With the recent booming gaming notebook scene it is only natural HP would try to cater to such user's with the introduction of the Omen line and the HP Omen 17-w216ng. Because HP is new to the gaming notebook market one can understand if HP's design choices aren't as grand as Dell's Alienware but at the very least the Omen 17 seems to have a more humanly design. It sports a clean matte black chassis with HP's Omen log on the top. But don't let its look discourage you as it is sure packing under the hood. Beginning with its bread and butter the Omen 17 is loaded with Intel's latest 7th gen Core i7-7700HQ, 8 GB of RAM, a combo 1 TB hard disk and 128 GB of SSD storage along with its main firepower the Nvidia Geforce GTX1070 graphics processor. Being 17.3 inch big, it's surprisingly light for its size tipping the scales at 3.4 kg which should help those travelling gamers out there. Although it cannot be said the same for its display, while a standard FHD IPS panel would have been great for anything 15-inch and below, a 4K is an absolute must for a notebook of this size, although one might worry that the GPU might suffer that wouldn't be the case since HP has taken the liberty to equip the Omen 17 with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 which by all accounts is certified 4K ready.
In terms of audio hardware, the Omen 17 is equipped with 4 Bang & Olufsen certified speakers, which delivers an excellent listening experience although an included subwoofer for a notebook of this size would have been more than a welcomed addition. Nonetheless sound quality remains great. Moving along to user inputs, HP has made use of their business notebook acumen to create an exceptional typing experience on the keyboard, the keyboard has a reasonable amount of key travel, which actually gives confidence to users while typing. Apart from that the keyboard also includes backlighting for those night owl gamers out there. Because this is a gaming notebook, HP has also taken the liberty to include an Omen branded mouse as part of the package despite not being the best mice out there, it still proves decent. In summary: If you are looking for a reasonably hassle-free gaming notebook the HP Omen 17 might actually be a good choice. The HP Omen 17 is certainly a new generation gaming laptop. It packs the power for serious gaming but has a more clean, sleek look rather than the usual bulky, alien-like design.

09 Jul Will The Same Work Ethic Be Allowed As The Economy's Debt Grows?
The current National Debt is over 9 trillion dollars. There is only so much debt an individual can take on and so it is true with a country.
I personally believe that our country is in for a long hard stretch. Although it may not be as tough as the last depression , I definitely think that many habits, attitudes and views will be changing in proportion to the increase in the cost of living.
I consistently see that many people today take too many things for granted. We have become a nation of greed and instant gratification which has fed the great credit monster and now may lead to our economic demise, albeit it may be temporary.
As more people are being laid off the greater the job pool market will be. This means that employers will have more people to choose from when hiring and this may actually encourage employers to get rid of dead weight.
So let's pose a hypothetical situation. If you had to hire someone for your business, would you rather hire someone who: A) shows up to work on time, does their job each and every day, looks for ways to assist their employer and is grateful for the opportunity to work; or B) shows up to work with attitude of entitlement, texts on their phone all day, instant messages on Myspace or Facebook and does not have any idea that work starts at the same time everyday?
Some of you are laughing but those of you who are employers probably are not. Scenario B is the current mindset of many workers at the moment and these employees think that employers will not terminate for such "normal" behavior. My hope is that this entire country receives a wake up call. We have gone from a strong, educated and independent nation to a credit addicted, naive, self centered cog in the wheel of the credit industry.
It is time to take our country back from the clutches and control of the credit industry. It is time to gain power through knowledge to regain control of our lives. Finally, it is time to take pride in ourselves, our country and our families. I do not know about you but what I want in my wallet is NOT the blue holographic plastic. I want good old fashion all American greenbacks earned by hard work and perseverance.
If you are lucky enough to have a job at the moment, don't take it for granted. Be strong, be prepared and forewarned so that you may survive the tough times ahead.

On TV yesterday, I watched parts of various games, and gave the Patriots quite a bit of time. Beating the Jets is always a good thing. I haven't felt good about that team since Joe Namath stopped playing. Although the Jets got close a few times, the contest was a methodical effort by Brady and company. BenJarvus Green-Ellis proved that running is still an option for this season. What about his name? Like one of the classic rhythmic sports names, Van Lingo Mungo.
I hope Milwaukee defeats St. Louis and gets to the World Series. St. Louis fans have had some post-season fun recently. It would be great for Milwaukee to win the World Series. Milwaukee was one of the Innovative Cities highlighted at the 2010 Innovative Cities Conference in Lowell. It's an older gritty city that has a lot in common with Lowell, although it is larger. Milwaukee hasn't been in the World Series since 1982, when they were still in the American League and lost to the Cardinals, coincidentally (Thanks, Wikipedia). I hadn't paid attention to the National League pennant race through the summer. I didn't know the Brewers led the NL in home runs.
I didn't like the early game choices. I briefly saw Michael Vick in the 1 pm game on CBS. I can't watch that guy. Glad the Eagles lost to Buffalo, another city whose people could use a big winner. I also could not watch much of the Steelers vs Tennessee. Not a fan of QB Ben Roth'bgr. Best moment for me was the fake punt and pass by Daniel Sepulveda to safety Ryan Mundy for a Pittsburgh first down. On the other hand, every week I could watch Green Bay, my favorite team as a kid.

The Canadian Virtual University (CVU) has recently recognized 10 students across the country for their efforts and achievements in furthering their education through distance education courses and programs.
CVU is an association of public Canadian universities specializing in online and distance education, and collaborating to increase access to quality assured university education. Distance Education and Learning Technologies (DELT) is a founding member.
Last year, over 600 students applied for cash gifts offered in celebration of CVU's 10th anniversary.
April Brett of Memorial received one of the 10 scholarships of $1,000 for her work in education courses she completed last summer.
Ms. Brett is a full time teacher, so in between report card preparation, evening events like school concerts and parent-teacher interviews, various other committees she sits on, not to mention high-energy days in the classroom, online courses are much more convenient for her – to say the least.
Ann Marie Vaughan, director of DELT, is a distance learner herself, and recognizes the value in online education.

It's been over 15 years since the PS2 was released in North America, and in that time the system has created an enduring legacy of great games. It may surprise you to know that the last game released for it was FIFA 2014, which is surprising considering that the PS3 was released all the way back in 2006.
Way back when you used to share all of those hilarious Chuck Norris facts on your flip-phone.
The PS2 undeniably had some gems which are still well worth playing, and you should get them today!
The PS2 had a huge library of great titles, and several good GTA games, but San Andreas takes the cake with graphics that were much better than its predecessors, and a huge area to explore. The missions were enjoyable, and the game was huge in almost every aspect, with a story that was incredibly well thought out.
The Metal Gear series has always been a great one, and the two titles on PS2 are no exception, but Snake Eater edges out its convoluted predecessor for best title in the series. With unparalleled graphics for the time, and great gameplay mechanics, the title is accessible for gamers. It also features the most coherent story out of the series, which is saying a lot considering there is still a character named after a jungle cat.
Immersive, and with an emotionally charged story that actually makes one question the nature of existence, FFX is one of those games that one still remembers vividly even without having played in over ten years. Tons of quests and great RPG gameplay make this title a standout, even though its direct sequel was nowhere near as good, and the series hasn't been as memorable as this outing.

Hariri hold consultations with MPs to form new gov't
BEIRUT, Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Saad Al-Hariri on Monday began consultations with parliamentary blocs and independent MPs to discuss their demands and views on the next government.
Hariri had begun his consultations with the Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri and then with former prime ministers to meet later during the day with the parliamentary blocs and independent deputies.
Hariri will discuss with the blocs their demands on the size of the portfolios and the type of ministries they want to form a government, which is expected to include 30 ministers.
Last Thursday, Lebanese President Michel Aoun issued a decree appointing Hariri to form the new government after binding parliamentary consultations conducted by Aoun, in which he named 111 of the 128 MPs to form the next government.
Article 64 of the Constitution states that the prime minister "shall conduct the parliamentary consultations for forming the government. He shall sign, with the President of the Republic, the Decree of its formation. The government must present its general statement of policy to the Chamber to gain its confidence within thirty days of the date of issuance of the Decree in which the government was formed".

Sartorius Agrees to Acquire Novasep's Chromatography Process Equipment Division
Sartorius Stedim Biotech entered into an agreement to acquire the chromatography process equipment division of Novasep. The parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price until the necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained.
Novasep's division expects to generate sales revenue of approximately Euros 37 million in 2020 at double-digit profit margins and employs approximately 100 people, the majority of whom work at its Pompey site in northern France and some in the U.S., China, and India. The proposed transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2021.
Novasep's chromatography unit comprises resin-based batch and intensified chromatography systems, and primarily focuses on high-pressure, multi-use applications for smaller molecules, such as oligonucleotides, peptides, and insulin. Since 2018, Novasep and Sartorius Stedim Biotech have been collaborating in the joint development of an optimized system for a membrane-based, low-pressure chromatography that processes larger molecules more productively and will be launched soon.
"I am pleased that we will intensify our successful collaboration with the Novasep team, soon to be under the Sartorius Stedim Biotech roof," said René Fáber, PhD, member of the board of directors of Sartorius Stedim Biotech. "The Novasep portfolio will perfectly complement our existing chromatography offering and allow us to provide customers with more options for their manufacturing processes. Efficient downstream processing has remained a challenge in our industry for years, and Sartorius Stedim Biotech is committed to helping accelerate and simplify this crucial step so that new drugs can be manufactured much more efficiently."

Temple athletics: Who's Minding The Store?
If football is the front porch of a university, this is what Temple's has looked like for most of 2020
When a whole group of employees leave one store in a large chain, the algorithms eventually reach the corporate offices and an investigation is conducted.
Is it the manager?
Is it the work environment?
At the very least this should be the Board of Trustees' message to Rod Carey
Is it something else?
With Temple football, there appears to be no algorithms and no corporate offices.
Responsibility for employees leaving begins and ends at the store involved and that's a terrible way to run a corporation.
Rod Carey's desk is pretty much where the buck stops with Temple football and the same appears to be true with both Aaron McKie and Tonya Cardoza (basketball).
Probably not a good way to run an organization because there has to be some oversight if lower level employees are not doing their jobs.
At a minimum, the question needs to be asked from a Temple administrative perspective why so many football players are leaving what was not only a winning program for most of the last decade, but one where the great majority of the players seemed to be much happier under previous CEOs. If the remedy includes using the buyout money obtained from Georgia Tech and Miami to replace Carey earlier than anticipated, so be it.
The fact that this question doesn't even begin to be addressed hints at a flaw in Temple's overall organization that allows top positions to be filled by interim people (President and athletic director) for far too long.
The football program is undoubtedly the front porch of the university and now the front porch is falling apart like Jed Clampett's cabin in the backwoods before they hit oil. Why is Temple BY FAR the school most adversely impacted by the Transfer Portal?
Two former very good players.
Why indeed?
At the minimum, an impartial athletics committee (made up mostly of former players and possibly chaired by current BOT member Tony McIntyre, a former player as well) needs to be formed to ask why so many Temple players are leaving and to implement suggestions on how the current staff can retain players in the future.
That can only happen under strong, not interim, leadership. Since there isn't that in place right now, the Temple Board of Trustees must step in and do something.
The sooner the better.

A few of us have been saying this for a long time Mike. If Temple wants to be serious about having solid competitive teams (especially football) then the trustees need to make a commitment to attain that. Some of the coaching choices of late have been more than inadequate, made with fingers crossed, hoping for the best. I still cannot believe that, for 2 mil a year, they could only come up with Carey. There were other coaches with better resumes out there (even right from the MAC) who would have jumped at the deal they threw at Carey. Was he really the only one, even on short notice, who would take the job (coaches jump at better deals on a dime) and considering the players we had on the roster at that time? I agree, the trustees are ultimately the ones who aren't doing their jobs, who let this sloppy decision making persist. How come smaller, new programs seem to be able to make solid hires and have success early on? I've been seeing this for decades now with schools like Troy and Liberty and on and on and Temple still wallows around keeping themselves in at best mediocre results, with a few highlights once in a while. There's really no excuse that satisfies explaining these less than decent choices. Same thing goes for not having an OCS by now. Signed: fed up!
Amazing that in five years schools like Coastal Carolina, Liberty, San Jose State, Buffalo (just to mention a few) have passed us like we were standing still..
Not standing still, Temple retreated.
The foundation for program success resides w/the BOT, Uni Pres, and AD. All three offices are derelict.
Who gave the green light for the Collins, Diaz, and Carey hires? The BOT. And, the interim president let Kraft make three disastrous hires. Screw a program and leave town, nice move Kraft!
Funny, but this is not hard. What research firm did Cincy, SMU, Coastal Carolina, etc., use to make their HC hires? If you can't beat it, copy it!
Right now, who has the worse program in the AAC? USF, ECU, or Temple? We are stuck in conversations about the bottom of the barrel.
That is one main reasons why players are leaving. The program sucks and the future is dark w/another bottom third recruiting class coming in.
https://247sports.com/Season/2021-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/?Conference=AAC
Screw opinion and focus on facts.
When Al Golden was here, he took great pride in having the No. 1 MAC recruiting class two of three years and brought that up to the crowd on signing night. It's a selling point because no matter how "over the moon" (Carey's words) you are about a recruiting class, it's nice to have independent validation and at least places like Rivals and Scout take off the Cherry-colored glasses when providing an objective analysis. Golden worked his ass off on the recruiting trail and, more importantly, kept the players in the building bought into his system.
It's a little unfair to say that Golden kept layers here. When Golden was here there was no portal and it was almost impossible to get a waiver of the transfer one year sit out rule. Nevertheless, Carey has to do improve recruiting dramatically. I agree that there is no administrative leadership. Kraft was all smoke and the former president was out to lunch when it came to athletics. In the end the coaching hires have stunk and to be honest, he got lucky with Rhule.
I hope Carey is on top of this but I have my doubts. We need a few of these guys: https://n.rivals.com/news/transfer-tracker-best-available-dl-in-the-portal
Hooter
Krafty didn't hire Rhule — he inherited him. Did Krafty make one good hire?? I'll wait. Don't give me McKie either — too early and anyone who knows the teal story will tell you Krafty didn't want McKie. They went after Patrick Ewing/err Rick Brunson. Agree with you that he was all smoke.
True. Bradshaw hired Rhule. The late great Al Shrier pinholed Bill and said, "Bill, listen to me … Hire … Matt … Rhule" Bradshaw told that story on the day Rhule got hired. Great story. Mr. Shrier was there and smiled ear to ear.
Despite granny's fussin and feudin, Jed still hit bubblin crude and fetched a cement pond. I reckon Carey can fetch a pig in a poke who can put up 1,000 yards.
Granny fact. Despite playing buddy epsen's mother in law, irene Ryan was only 4 years older than buddy
On Facebook, someone responded to one of Mike;s posts that we have to be patient because both Carey and Mckie are new. I disagreed, writing ( I made one change below because I mistakenly thought Kraft hired Rhule):
Joe. I think the problem is that the men's BB and football were in decline well before the last two respective BB and football seasons. Kraft did a horrendous job in hiring coaches. He threer three were hires (Collins, Diaz, and McKie) were based on who knows what and were and are outright disasters. While I agree that Carey should not be harshly judged on the past season because of covid restrictions, signs aren't good. Although it is not known why several starters have decided to leave, it is not wrong to infer that Carey played some role in their decisions. Also, his recruiting was ranked 93rd this past signing day. That is simply not acceptable. McKie's selection was bad because the administration should have conducted a national coaching search given the long and proud history of the program. They should have contacted Rick Pitino who could have been gotten cheap because he was dying to get back to the U.S to coach. Selecting McKie was just lazy and uninspired especially because he was on the staff as the program sank into mediocrity. He has shown nothing as a recruiter and had zero experience as a head coach. On top of that, he had almost as many players defect from a team of twelve as Carey has had from a team of 85. Frankly, the athletic program is in shambles. I agree that grades do matter but so does winning. TU athletics were known for doing more with less and now they are doing less with more despite the fact that the facilities have never been better. What is most troubling is that the drop in quality could not be occurring at a worse time. In a couple of years the TV contracts are up and the P-5 may do one last consolidation by requiring that all conferences go to 16 teams, which means that some G-5 schools will get promoted so to speak. Having mediocre football and BB teams doesn't help in receiving an invitation especially when it appears that the athletic department is foundering. Just look at how badly, they bungled the stadium which was supposed to have just celebrated its second birthday. TU athletics is at a crossroads and it appears that they are taking the wrong road by remaining silent and apparently doing nothing at a time when leadership is required if for nothing other than to calm down a jittery fan base that sees only more losses in the coming seasons.
The person I responded to bleeds Cherry and White and is as big a supporter as you'll find anywhere.
Agree. Iona or Temple? Would not have been a tough call for Rick who was instrumental in getting Temple accepted to the Big East for basketball (albeit briefly). Ironically, we have four pool tables in the relatively new $50 million basketball facility. I kid, I kid about the pool table but this is a pretty good story and I LOVE how well-versed about TEMPLE FOOTBALL Rick Pitino is:
https://www.zagsblog.com/2011/09/27/pitino-wants-temple-in-the-big-east/
Remember the feeling you had walking into the parking lot on College GameDay? Temple students, alumni, and Philly fans were going crazy..,
It has been done, and can be done again w/the right leadership. Leadership is the remedy for almost all f'd up situations.
Among the BOT, Uni Pres, AD, and HC.., what office has stepped up and accepted responsibility for this mess? Instead we have excuses, City Council, Covid, the portal, etc., etc.,
Watch a track meet and you'll see hurdlers jump over the hurdles. Why, because they must in order to compete.
The BOT can't jump over the City Council hurdle for an OCS, Carey said he lost to Covid and star players went to the portal.
Temple can't jump.
Coastal Carolina had no problems clearing those hurdles and neither should we
Coastal Carolina is in South Carolina, with less government, taxes, and communist activists. Myrtle Beach boasts good seafood, nightlife, golf, hotels, and beaches. North Philly has little to offer fans, players, or coaches.
Matthew Sullivan
I love your blog. Love your long standing commitment and passion to Temple and its football program.
I'm really displeased with the direction of the program and the gameday coaching. Your points regarding RPO and matching your talent to scheme are spot on.
I'd like to offer a another perspective on the wholesale migration to different programs we're witnessing of Temple players and coaches. Frankly stated… why shouldn't they? Everybody else did. In fact, the NCAA structure encourages it. Of the many players who have entered the transfer portal, how many coaches have they witnessed leave for more opportune pastures? Even the Dr. Kraft utilized the current landscape to move to the "next level'. With the playoff structure designed to maintain the prominence of the P5 and a handful of programs there is little incentive to stick around… and if I have an opportunity to sell my wares to the NFL why not do it where I know I'm taken seriously – warranted or not.
Coach Carey needs to do better. The NCAA needs to open up the playoffs so other conferences and teams can sustain a program and be competitive.
Thanks, Mike, for caring about Temple Football so deeply.
Let's go fishing …..

Major California city becomes the most unaffordable housing market in America
Home values in the area also jumped by 21% over the last year

Sacramento, California, is at the top of the list for the United States's least affordable new homes markets.
A new study examining household incomes and comparing them with median new home construction mortgages found the California capital tying with Miami, Florida. Eighty percent of households in the Sacramento region, same as Miami, are priced out of new homes, the study from real estate-technology firm, Knock, found.
The median new construction home price in the Sacramento region is $650,000, which means residents need an income of about $128,000 to afford an average down payment of $39,000. The median household income in the area is $76,706, according to the report.

One Sacramento real estate group owner, Kelly Pleasant, said there is a shortage of homes in the area and the market has become less competitive in the last 45 days.
"Instead of maybe 10 offers (per listing), you're seeing five offers," Pleasant told The Sacramento Bee. "Instead of $50,000 or $60,000 over, maybe you're getting it at list price or $20,000 over."

Home values in the area also jumped by 21% over the last year. Rental prices came up with the jump, to an average of $1,760 per month.

Laura has been involved with Special Olympics Taupo since 2008 and competes in swimming and athletics. She's now also on the Club's Committee and has helped to fundraise for events with raffles, sausage sizzles, growing plants to sell, and working at a local market day.
She says Special Olympics has given her a new group of friends, helped to keep her fit and active, and increased her confidence, self esteem and ability to talk to new people and make new friends. Being a diabetic, training and competing with Special Olympics also helps Laura manage her health.
As a Global Messenger, Laura is hoping to talk to people about Special Olympics and what she has achieved personally, and encourage them to strive for their goals.
