I was just thinking how would it be to implement a secondary resource for retribution and how would it look like. My thoughts were about a resource similar to rage/runic power but still with a different feel to it. It would be called......yea u guest it "ZEAL"!!! I know it's not original but still it's very paladinish so it doesn't have any love-wise contradictions. I was thinking about "FAITH" as a resource but that sounded too much priest-like.
Anyways about it's mehanics: It would be a base scale ranging from 0-100 and it would start at 0 just like rage and RP. It could have some talents that would increase it's max amount just like RP and Energy for rogues. Magical attacks such as exorcism, consecration, holy shock and some other that might be implemented in cataclysm would still use mana but would generate Zeal for a fixed amount. Zeal would be also generated by autoattacks and partialy special physical attacks would give a small zeal refund if they managed to land on paladins target(just like rage oriented attacks).Auto attack Zeal gain would only depend on weapon base speed and not the damage dealt. In that way it is much easier to balance it for all levels of gear. Paladin would not gain Zeal when being hit. Attacks such as Crusader strike, Divine storm,Avengers Shield, SOR, HOR and abilities like Avenging Wrath would use Zeal as a resource. All other spells would still use mana, but with the introduction of secondary resource judgements of the wise would have to be scaled down since the new resource puts down the strain from paladins mana hungry dps rotation. Judgements would also generate zeal by default and would have no cost(just like warriors charge). Some hand spells might have some talent options to use Zeal instead of Mana but it that way they would become physical buffs. Also with the new resource introduction some physical attack cooldowns would have to be reconsidered and maybe Crusader strkie could be turned in to something more interesting(yea i said it....so clishe i know). Many other thing would have to be considered but i got tired of typing for now so i would like to hear your thoughts about it.
I never said Ret was "broken", it's just that i think it's not perfect. The problems i see with the ret are an uninteresting PvE rotation wich is FCFS oriented and requires almost no knowlege of the class meaning that someone who never played paladin could do almost the same dps like someone who has been playing it for years.
I am not beeing an elitist and calling people ZOMGNOOBZ and ZOMGPROZ but i just find it frustraiting that i am doing around 5.2k dps in raid and the guy that clearly has no clue about paladin class and seems semi retarded can do 5k dps. Ret NEEDS some synergy between its attacks and i thought that introducing the secondary resource that would work in a similar way other melee classes resources do would alow that kind of newly intoduced synergy. Ret needs more Attacks but with having mana and cooldown based non spamable attacks i doubt it can ever be done without having some other resource other than mana. SO to summ it up i don't think ret is broken i just think that mana resource makes it much harder to balance it's offensive utility and i feel it is holding the class development back.
I never said mana has to go, holy still needs to heal, i just said having a secondary resource which would be used for most offensive abilities and maybe some hands spells could be benefitial to the class.
On the other hand there is a question of the increased complexity that would appear if we consider PvP. Would having a real situation oriented DPS rotation with more procs and bigger attack diversity like other classes AND having a really big toolbox of the support spells, like you have now, that you would need to use to max out your PvP performanse be overpowered or just too hard to use?
I don't want ret to have other classes abilities i just want it to stop being a one trick pony with it's offensive toolbox. I just hope you realise this is not a post about class being broken, it's just a post about improving a class in the way of making it a bit less newbie friendly and giving it some more choices in it's offensive arsenal. And by doing that without a secondary, faster expendable and faster rejuvenable resource that you would have to watch for it would be just a spam-whatever-is-not-on-CD fest like it is right now. So in the end the entire point of the secondary resource would be to make class a bit more interesting and a bit more difficut to manage with a chance to differentiation of good and not-as-good players and not just to make it more flashy, cool, faceroll and what not.
Please be so kind to ignore my dreadful spelling and grammar since english is my third language and i am feeling a bit sleepy as i am writing this post.

Regarding the article by Lesley Riddoch (Perspective, 3 January), biometrics is here to stay, like it or not, so let us make the best use of the systems to improve our way of life.
It is important it is secure, it is important it is freely signed up to and it is important it is used for the purpose it is registered for. Yes, Angus Council has used biometrics for more than a decade in education and it has been successful.
I have so many PIN numbers, passwords, account details, etc, and would I personally like to have my fingerprints scanned and my iris logged? Yes. Am I bothered if the police have my DNA recorded (which they don't, by the way)? No.
I am ex-RAF where, for 23 years, I had an ID card, a service number and, from security checks for the jobs I did, they possibly know more about me than I do myself. Has it changed my life? No.
When I fly to America, they scan my passport, my eyes are photographed and my iris logged on entry and exit - no problem. My blood is taken, catalogued and used as a donor. You have a national insurance number issued to you the day you are born, you have a health service number the day you are born, you are recorded with a Scottish Candidate number when you enter secondary education and possibly primary in the future, you have a driving licence number, and so on.
There is so much data out there in the hands of government departments, I cannot see what is fearsome about making life simpler with biometrics.
We can see in Angus improvements associated with biometrics use. Some parents have opted for their children not to use the system - that is their choice. No-one has complained to me or Angus Council about its use in education because they have the right to opt out. However, they should know the information is not reversible - for instance, the police could not bring in a set of fingerprints and ask us to scan them. It purely allows access to services applicable to that person.
Personally, I would like to see the system extended to all services, and even linked to a PIN for credit/debit card sales.

The Desert Rats, led by General Allen Francis Harding, were especially noted for a hard-fought, three-month campaign against the more experienced German Afrika Korps, led by General Erwin Rommel ("The Desert Fox").
The term "Rats of Tobruk," a moniker applied by the Nazi propagandist broadcaster William Joyce ("Lord Haw-Haw"), referred more generally to any of the Allied troops (including Australian, British, and Polish units) who defended Tobruk, Libya.

Thanks mine0926, it is good to hear positive comments about the new look.
JosAH, my principle at the moment is to show ads only to unregistered users and free the space for the registered users. This will continue like this until majority is not registered users.
At the moment we are in a transition state. I am updating the template and looking for plugins. At the end, registered users will not see any ads again.
I like it as well, glad it's back. I was beginning to go through withdrawals.
I notice that scrollbar shows on members' reply when they do not have signature even if the reply is short.
I agree with min0926. The new look kicks ass :D:
Very Clean, Very Elegant. I LOVE the quote bubble :(y):
What I'd like to see is better, nicer way for placing code in a Post. At the moment it doesn't have syntax highlighting. And when I paste code from somewhere like Eclipse, on the forum, a lot of extra spaces get added, which isn't too nice.
Other than that, all is AWESOME here.

Danbury women arrested on drug charges
Published 11:37 am, Saturday, December 22, 2012
DANBURY -- A raid by Danbury's Special Investigative Division on Friday led to the arrest of two city women on charges of selling crack cocaine.
Lydia Taylor, 45, and Victoria Pileggi, 43, both of 64 Bells Lane, were held on $200,000 and $100,000 bond, respectively.
Search and seizure warrants were served at the women's home at about 3:30 p.m. Friday, after an investigation into crack sales there, police said. Members of the Special Investigations Division, Community Conditions Unit and Special Victims United executed the warrants.
The search found a substantial amount of crack cocaine packaged for sale and assorted paraphernalia, police said.
Taylor and Pileggi were each was charged with possession of crack cocaine, possession with intent to sell, possession with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of public housing, possession of drug paraphernalia and risk of injury to a minor.
Because the investigation revealed the illegal drugs were being sold openly in the presence of several children that lived in the apartment, the state Department of Children & Families was notified, police said. DCF assisted in providing suitable arrangements for the children, according to police.

Likes Your Post
I added a nee MOD and gave everyone permission to use it. It is much like the "Like" button on Facebook, for those of you familiar with Facebook. There is a button on the upper right corner of the message that vaguely looks like a "Thumbs Up" icon. Just click on it. The "Likes your message" count appearing below the posters name and icon will go up by one, and your name will be added to a list of people who liked the post at the bottom of the message. The button doesn't really do anything more than that. It is just an acknowledgment that the post was read and found interesting. The button doesn't appear on announcements, but should be there for everyone in every post. After you click the thumbs up the icon changes to a thumbs down icon. Clicking again will take away your likes. This in effects allows you to acknowledge you read the post and like it even if you do not have any specific comment to add.
Links to Between the ENTS website and the ENTS BBS
I have been doing some other upgrades to the BBS over the past couple of days. First you may have noticed I placed links on every forum on the BBS to the equivalent index page on the ENTS and WNTS website, and I also placed links on every index page on the websites to the corresponding forum on the BBS so that navigation between the two will be as seamless as possible.
Daily Digest
I also want to encourage people to subscribe to the "Daily Digest" which sends a summary of all of the posts made each day out as a single email to subscribers. In this way you can be sure that you will not miss a post and have an opportunity to see what everyone is talking about even if you do not browse all of the forums. It is a great asset and I want people to use it. The options for the Digest are under the User Control Panel page that can be accessed by clicking on the User Control Panel link at the upper left side of the BBS . Then click on the Digest tab to set your options.

I recall seeing on a post somewhere that there was a Napa number for the replacement air filter on a Custom 10hp. Since I see my air filters are about the same on my Suburbans as the Customs, the same filter will probably fit all 4 tractors now. I have cleaned them with compressed air but would like to replace them all this year. Does anyone know what the conversion number is? 917.25590 is one of the Customs model numbers. My new 12hp is a 1968.

Celebaby: Celebrity Nappies Anyone?
Celebrity nappies - I suppose it had to happen sooner or later; a range of baby products 'produced' by a celeb'.
Jessica Alba - The Honest Co
So, The Honest Co is the name Jessica Alba (Hollywood 'star') has chosen for her new range of eco-friendly baby and household 'things', such as cleaning products, baby skin care and nappies.
If you're wondering whether it all comes with a wallet-friendly price tag (I know you are!) then it would appear so, or at least that's what Jessica will have us believe.
This is what she had to say on the subject when she spoke to the New York Daily News.
"I'm like, just because it's eco why does it have to be brown, beige, or have a green leaf on it?" So everything is brightly coloured, including the nappies. On the subject of cost...
"'I would talk to my brother - he has two kids - and I talk to my sister-in-law and my cousins, they're like, "Well, we can't afford that." Then I was like, "How in the world is a safer and healthier product only available to those in a higher tax bracket?" That was my big a-ha moment!"
Well isn't that, like, awesome (said in my best whiny American accent) - as yet there's no news on whether The Honest Co will be making a journey across the Pond to a supermarket near you.

The first experiment investigates the time taken to correct a learned function when the goal is relocated in the robot navigation domain. There are nine different room configurations, as shown in Figure 26, the number of rooms varying from three to five and there are four different goal positions. Each room has one or two doorways and one or two paths to the goal. To initialize the case base, a function is learned for each of these configurations with the goal in the position shown by the black square. The rooms are generated randomly, with some constraints on the configuration of the rooms and doorways: a room can not be too small or narrow, a doorway can not be too large. The case base also includes functions generated for the experiments discussed in Section 4.3. This was necessary to give a sufficient variety of cases to cover most of the new tasks. Even with this addition, not all subgraphs are matched. Constant valued default functions are used when there is not a match. This reduces speed up significantly, but does not eliminate it altogether.
Once the case base is loaded, the basic Q-learning algorithm is rerun on each room configuration with the goal in the position shown. After 400,000 steps the goal is moved, this is denoted as time t on the x-axis of Figure 27. The goal is moved to one of the three remaining corners of the state space, a task not included in the case base. Learning continues for a further 300,000 steps. At fixed intervals, learning is stopped and the average number of steps to reach the goal is recorded. The curves in Figure 27 are the average of 27 experimental runs, three new goal positions for each of the nine room configurations.
The basic Q-learning algorithm, the top curve of Figure 27, performs poorly because, when the goal is moved, the existing function pushes the robot towards the old goal position. A variant of the basic algorithm reinitializes the function to zero everywhere on detecting that the goal has moved. This reinitialized Q-learning, the middle curve, performed much better, but it still has to learn the new task from scratch.
The function composition system, the lowest curve, performed by far the best. The precise position of the knee of this curve is difficult to determine due to the effect of using default functions. If only those examples using case base functions are considered, the knee point is very sharp at about 3000 steps. The average number of steps to goal at 3000 steps, for all examples, is 40. The non-reinitialized Q-learning fails to reach this value within 300,000 steps giving a speed of over 100. The reinitialized Q-learning reaches this value at about 120,000 steps, giving a speed up of about 40. Function composition generally produces accurate solutions. Even if some error is introduced, further Q-learning quickly refines the function towards the asymptotic value of about 17. After about 150,000 steps, normal Q-learning reaches an average value of 24 steps and then slowly refines the solution to reach an average value of 21 after 300,000 steps.

The Shoreham-Wading River High School girls track and field team had quite a fruitful season in 2014. So, what else is new?
Success has become just as much a part of the sport for the Wildcats as batons, hurdles and spikes. In 1980, when Paul Koretzki took over as the team's coach, Shoreham went 7-2 in dual meets. With the exception of 2001, when they lost twice, it was the only year since then that they have lost more than once in a season. (more…)

"Boisterous and garrulous, the R00:unit models are the most human-like of the robots that served in the Last War. Made to negotiate, communicate and command while providing serious muscle, their long quad- ears receive and broadcast radio waves in a range of frequencies, their eyes can see a wide spectrum with a 360 degree view. The R00:units love to use slang and regional casual speech patterns to communicate which ended up being an invaluable way to preserve part of human culture once rebuilding began. They are best described as the "cool Uncles/Aunts" of the human race and have adapted very well to their new decommissioned life of peace. However, R00:units are the most physically strong and robust of the soldier robot models and should not be taken lightly!"
This is a 1/6 ( 12" tall) scaled posable one of a kind figure. The blank body and clothes are store bought but modified! I did NOT sew the jumpsuit! I did make the cloak. The head, hands and feet sculpted on my own and cast in urethane. The tail is my own make and is poseable. The cast parts are painted and assembled so the figure can still move and pose. His eyes glow in the dark!
Be mindful of his hands, as they are made to come out.
The two lights on his back can be switched on by removing the battery paper and twisting the light.
This figure will come with a stand.
Please treat this piece with care! It can be played with and posed but don't get too nuts with him. His fingers and toes could break or his paint could get scuffed! I recommend using a stand to display him so that there are no accidents.

AS Roma have dismissed claims of owing money to Uruguay's Nacional over the sale of Nicolas Lopez.
The young forward left the Giallorossi this summer in a co-ownership deal with Udinese and Nacional are demanding €400,000 in sell-on fees.
"Roma have fulfilled all obligations in relation to the payment of the termination clause of the contract of Nicolas Lopez," a statement read on their website.
"All that remains is to determine the training compensation, for which we are awaiting the approval of FIFA."

1. Have an Indoor Picnic. The weather in Georgia is going to be seriously terrible this weekend. Rather than going out, whip up a simple supper of a sliced baguette, fancy cheeses, charcuterie and cornichons (check out this link for inspiration – or just grab takeout), spread a blanket on the living room floor and listen to the rain.
2. DIY Braided Cord Cover. Exposed cords really bother us. We work hard to conceal them (we've been known to tape them to the bottoms of tables, weave them through tiny nails hammered into the wall, etc), but sometimes we have no choice but to let them show. Fabric Paper Glue to the rescue! In the time it takes you to watch a cheesy TV movie, you can create this adorable braided cover.
And if cords REALLY make you nuts, try these washi tape cord covers perfect for phone chargers.
3. Style Your Shelves. This is a perfect rainy day project! Think like a stylist: scour your house for interesting objects (random vases, figurines, tiny photos); group similarly-colored books together; and give the eye somewhere to rest every now and then. This is a great article with more how-to advice.
4. Visit a Flower Market. IT'S PEONY SEASON! We both love peonies; their explosive beauty is perfection in arrangements short and tall, simple and complex. If weather permits, visit your local flower market, scoop some peonies (or whatever flowers you love), and create an arrangement yourself. We love these ideas from Apartment Therapy.
This Design*Sponge video has some great tips and tricks for floral market first-timers:
5. Bake Something. Sundays are for baking at our houses. Try these peanut-butter pretzel brownies from on the ADORABLE blog A Beautiful Mess. Chevron pretzel pattern optional.

NEW YORK CITY – Army senior forward Ella Ellis continued collecting awards with the addition of All-Metropolitan New York Second Team honors on Monday. Ellis, a third-team selection last season, is the first Army player since 2008 to be named to one of the top two All-Met teams. He will receive his award Monday night at the 80th NIT/Metro Basketball Writers Association Haggerty Awards dinner.
The honor is another in a long list of accolades for the Black Knights' leading scorer in 2012-13. Ellis was a unanimous first-team All-Patriot League selection, as well as Army's first two-time NABC All-District pick in 26 years.
Ellis guided the Black Knights to a 16-15 record, the program's first winning season in 28 years. Army won a program record eight Patriot League games and advanced to the semifinals of the conference tournament for the fourth time in seven years. He ranked second in the Patriot League in scoring at 17.7 points per game and was a unanimous selection to the All-Patriot League First Team. He was the first Army player since Mark Lueking in 1994-96 to make back-to-back appearances on the Patriot League's top all-star squad. Ellis was also one of the top three-point shooters in the Patriot League, ranking second in triples per game (2.3) and fifth in three-point shooting percentage (.419).
The Houston native put his name in the Black Knight record book at the game, season and career levels. He became the first player since 1995-96 to post back-to-back 30-point games, and his four 30-point efforts during the season were the most since that same 1995-96 season. Ellis scored 548 points, which ranked 10th on the Army season list and made him the just the sixth Black Knight to score 500-or-more points in at least two seasons. He buried 72 three-pointers, the seventh best season total in West Point history, while his 178 free throws ranked third on the Black Knights' season ledger.
Having played in an Academy record 120 consecutive games, Ellis completed his West Point career fifth on Army's all-time scoring list with 1,585 points. He reached that same spot on the Black Knights' career three-point list with 193 triples. Ellis also reached Army's all-time top 10 in free throws (4th, 434), free throw percentage (7th, 81.6) and blocked shots (6th, 45). He is the only player in Army history to score at least 1,500 points, grab 450 rebounds (466), hand out 150 assists (161) and block 40 shots.

3,5 weeks La Pared and Playitas combo
February 14th, 2017 by Lisa
After having spent most part of the winter in Stockholm it was great to finally back the bikes and head south. Fuerteventura for me is quite well known, close to feel like my backyard in terms of training venues. To mix things up a bit we started to week not in Playitas as per normal but in La Pared.
Calle brought three friends with mountainbikes (team mate Henrik Sparr, Swedish Champ Mattias Wengelin and the cycling photographer Jesper Andersson). They were going to properly scout the area and look for new trails building some fitness into Cape Epic later this spring. ¬†I choose to stay on my road bike (…surprise..!) and get familiar with the new bike set up and bike. It was nice to get a few days head start before my "proper camp" was starting. Slowly easing back into longer days with more training – outdoors!
A few days later I left La Pared to set up a new base at Playitas.
One of the major changes this year is the coaching set up. With Darren building boats and not doing the D-Squad thing anymore I had been looking around for a different structure. The Norwegian model run by Arild Tveiten was  the most interesting, close to home and with a very successful outcome so far (in a relatively short period of time).
It's always a bit nervous to train with a new group for the first time. Before you get the hang of how things work, what the structure looks like, how the sessions feel and obviously the people and group dynamics. For me was the added language difficulty – Norwegian!! Yes it's very close to Swedish – but yet not as easy as it might seem.
The first two weeks at camp we had a big group, the Norwegian Nationalteam, a bunch of upandcoming Norwegian junior girls, Lotte Miller and her Icelandic training partner Edda Hennesdottir and also visiting Kaidi Kivioja from Estonia. It was a great opportunity to observe and learn from the others how they normally do things. The last week everyone but the senior men left and we were a smaller more condensed group.
It was a fantastic camp.
The program was solid and sometimes very challenging, but with enough gaps to catch my breath and kick back to life.
Specific sessions with specific targets, lots of attention to detail – and in general just a lot of really good training!
In three weeks you can do quite a bit and it feels like I'm travelling back to Stockholm having moved quite a few steps forwards.
It's exciting and very motivating for the time ahead.

These 10 tools will help you manage your individual or business social media accounts without breaking the bank.
10 Tools That Will Make You a Social Media Guru
Do you aspire to be a social media guru but find yourself befuddled by the large number of social media tools available? Here we help you narrow the options for managing your social media accounts by identifying 10 of the best online tools. All are either free or available for a reasonable subscription fee that any individual or a small business can afford.
Bitly, probably the best-known UR- shortening service around, helps keep the links that you post on your social media accounts neat and tidy. Under the hood, the service features real-time analytics so you can track actual clicks. More importantly, the service supports the use of one custom domain name for free and implements all the necessary logic. You can brand your shortened URL the same way the big-time players do, like nyti.ms (The New York Times) and econ.st (The Economist).
Buffer ranks among the most popular social media message scheduling service available. You can share content and schedule posts across Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+ pages with a single click. The service makes it possible to stagger content throughout the day, constantly populating your social media feeds with new updates. Buffer also offers analytics about the reach of your posts and makes it easy to re-post popular content.
Hootsuite is an advanced social media management dashboard designed to help organizations or power users manage multiple social media accounts. The online service works with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ pages and other popular social networks. It offers a comprehensive range of reports that let you gain greater insights into ongoing social campaigns. Hootsuite starts off as a free service for individuals; various subscription tiers are available for power or business users.
The Pagemodo social marketing suite can help small businesses quickly create engaging visuals for Facebook. Its features include tools to manage Facebook pages and to create customized, eye-catching cover photos, visual posts and even custom tabs for contests. New posts go live immediately or according to a schedule, and they can be shared on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other platforms.
Social Mention
The Social Mention real-time social media search and analysis tool scrapes user-generated content across more than 100 social media sites for mentions of a given company name, brand, product or search term. Considered among the best free listening tools on the market, Social Mention's analyses delivers relevant results, with metrics that includes unique authors, reach, frequency of mentions and top keywords.
SocialBro helps businesses better target and engage with their Twitter audience. It can analyze followers' timelines of followers to generate reports (such as the optimal time to tweet for reach and engagements), to identify key influencers and competitors, and to gain general analytics insights. SocialBro works best when coupled with a scheduling tool such as Buffer or Hootsuite. It's free with basic features for accounts with less than 5,000 Twitter followers.
The SocialOomph Web service offers a long list of productivity enhancements across supported services. That list includes Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Plurk, as well as blogs built with WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr and Moveable Type. Available for free with some basic features, the paid version of SocialOomph can schedule Facebook updates and LinkedIn shares, automatically follow back followers, search for worthwhile Twitter friends to follow and even tweet via email.
Sprout Social
The Sprout Social management and engagement tool can post, monitor and analyze multiple social media accounts from one location. The service offers the ability to monitor messages across Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn personal profiles, all through a single inbox. A paid service that comes with a free 30-day trial, Sprout Social also offers real-time brand monitoring and comprehensive reporting tools to help users understand important metrics.
The Twitter-only management tool Tweepi makes it easy to identify (and get rid of) followers who unfollow and inactive users, as well as to find interesting new users by scraping the followers of specified Twitter accounts. The paid version offers smart shortcuts that let users quickly follow or unfollow large number of users at a time. It ranks among the more powerful tool for managing Twitter accounts with thousands of followers.
As its name suggests, the free TweetDeck (now owned by Twitter) is a Web and desktop solution for monitoring and managing Twitter feeds on a single screen. TweetDeck incorporates powerful filters based on specific keywords or conditions. It also offers the flexibility to customize the display to show or hide columns to better focus on what matters. TweetDeck is available for the Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari browsers, as well as Windows and Mac computers.

Liverpool Transfer News: Marco Reus Blow, Latest on Alberto Moreno and MoreAugust 4, 2014
Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has reiterated Marco Reus won't be leaving the Westfalenstadion next season despite the German's reported refusal to sign a new contract, dashing Liverpool's chances of signing the versatile forward.
Reus seems well-matched with the direct, transitional style of play manager Brendan Rodgers so easily employs at Liverpool, but Dortmund have once again confirmed their star man will remain in the Bundesliga. Chisanga Malata of the Daily Star provides Watzke's comments.
"We have said many times this summer that Reus will not leave," said Watzke. "Marco will play with us next season. There is no possibility that he will play elsewhere. We will try to tie him to our club for longer and we are proceeding with peace of mind that he will renew his deal."
Rodgers has already made six signings this summer, bringing Rickie Lambert, Emre Can, Adam Lallana, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren and Divock Origi to the side, with Origi remaining on loan with Lille throughout the 2014-15 campaign.
Although another forward who can contribute instantly is craved by Rodgers, per ESPN, the manager isn't willing to spend for the sake of it. Wilfried Bony's name is among those touted for a move, but Swansea boss Garry Monk has urged the player to stay, saying, "I can help him become an even better player this season," as reported by the Mirror's Andrew Gwilym.
Further defensive signings are likely, with Javier Manquillo and Alberto Moreno reportedly eyed to improve the Reds' ranks, per The Guardian's Andy Hunter. Moreno can offer Liverpool established quality at left-back and would ensure Rodgers has plenty of options ahead of the Reds' challenge across four competitions.
Alan Kennedy, former left-back for the side, believes signing Moreno would be a smart move, as reported by Tom Evans of the Liverpool Echo:
Moreno represents a more natural left-back simply because he is left footed. He will provide excellent competition for (Jose) Enrique I'm sure but that's not to say Jon Flanagan still isn't in with a shout of playing there. You can play right-footed players at left-back but you can't do it the other way around so he offers that versatility which is quite rare at the top level.
Rodgers' defence played a consistent role in the team's inability to capture last season's Premier League title. Liverpool conceded 50 goals—more than any of the top six, Crystal Palace and a dismal Manchester United side—meaning they need to rapidly tighten up.
Lovren's potential partnership with Martin Skrtel or Mamadou Sakho should play a key role in stopping the leak, especially if Simon Mignolet can find a more consistent run of form in goal. The Belgian may feel a little uneasy by the prospect of Pepe Reina's potential move to AC Milan faltering, per Simon Jones of the Daily Mail, but he performed well for the most part of the season.
While Reus' appearance anywhere other than Dortmund appears unlikely, Rodgers still has a number of options heading into the new season. The Reds certainly need another prolific goalscorer—Lambert and Daniel Sturridge aren't enough considering the increased schedule—but will also want to continue galvanising a defence which has the potential to dominate.
Rodgers is currently the busiest manager in the Premier League when it comes to transfer dealings, a notion that sums up the man in charge. His signings address an immediate desire to improve while also placing an emphasis on future development, providing Liverpool fans with optimism that last season's title battle will become a regular fixture within the team's calendar once more.

Mercedes-Benz has finally revealed the Mercedes-Benz SLK and we have the first video for you!
The most distinguishing feature of the new SLK, now in its third generation, is the panoramic roof with Magic Sky Control, whereby the the transparency of the 'vario-roof' can be changed from light to dark.
The new front face of the SLK, with its more upright grill, references the SLS AMG as well as being in keeping with Benz's new design paradigm which is holding to that feature. But the new design still improves on the SLK's drag co-efficient, though – 0.30 compared to the previous model's 0.32.
The SLK350 model comes fitted with a new 3.5 liter V6 doling out 302 bhp (225 kW / 306 PS) and powering the SLK to a 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) sprint time of 5.4 seconds. Top speed is 155 mph (250 km/h).

Firefighters will begin an eight-day strike in Northamptonshire today (Saturday).
Members of the Fire Brigade Union (FBU) will go on strike from today until Saturday August 16 in an ongoing dispute with the Government over pensions.
The strike will mean reduced fire cover during designated hours for the next eight days.
The FBU argue that the current proposals in England and Wales are still unworkable and mean that firefighters will still face dismissal because they cannot maintain the high physical fitness requirements necessary for their role until they are age 60.
They claim the proposals would also mean that if firefighters opt for early retirement, the reduction in their pension would be 'unacceptably high'.
Matt Wrack, FBU general secretary, said: "It is absolutely ludicrous that a government can impose a scheme which means that firefighters will have to ride engines and rescue people from fires up to age 60.
"This is unsafe and unrealistic for both firefighters and the public.
"We know it, and the public know it, but the government will not listen to the evidence based case we have made to them."
The strikes will run daily between 12pm – 2pm and 22:59 – 23:59.
Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service are advising people to 'get out, stay out and call 999 - you will still get an emergency response'.

I just recently watched the latest episode of Conway Bowman's show, Fly Fishing the World. This episode was filmed in Iceland and featured guest host Sasha Savic. There is a good article covering the episode over at the Fly Fisherman website. I highly recommend watching the episode or at least reading the article.
Now, me, being all about the flies, keyed in on the quick glimpse of the fly being used on this episode. It was a fly called the Snaelda which is a highly popular salmon fly which originated in Iceland.
Here is a video from expert fly tyer Davie McPhail on how to tie a Snaelda.

Tabitha Soren's most recent body of work, simply titled Running, is an interesting collection of photographs that capture individuals fleeing in a state of sheer panic. By withholding most of the context from these freeze-frame images, Soren leaves her audience hanging in a moment of suspended terror—with no option but to construct a narrative around each scenario she presents. Each highly cinematic snapshot resonates with an easily relatable range of human emotions, and the focus of her work as a whole is tied up in using her lens to investigate the messier moments of life.
A longtime journalist and documentarian, Soren seems comfortable working in the realm of subject matter that is slightly unresolved. "My work is about what people can survive and what they can't," she says. "It's about decay, how life can be reckless, and how you have to keep going. I explore how people can pick themselves up." It's interesting to see how these themes play out across the series, leaving traces of vulnerability, fear and escape etched into their collective storyline.
See Soren's work currently on view at Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Canyon in Winter
visit Bryce Canyon in both our Elk Meadows episode during
winter and our Kanab episode during summer. There is
a good reason for this, it is simply beautiful. For
as magnificently large as it is, it is a fairly easy
place to explore in just a day. Although, the beauty
and mystery can hold your interest for much longer.
few years ago, I spent my Thanksgiving break camping
with a dozen friends in Zion National Park. On the last
day of the trip, we decided to head over to Bryce Canyon.
By the time we arrived, the weather that had thankfully
been dry to that point turned into a heavy snow due
to Bryce Canyon's elevation. The sight of pristine white
snow piling up on the odd looking red rock spires of
Bryce is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
and steel among themselves, and finally Coyote decided
they were evil-spirits. One day, in a moment of anger
he turned them all into stone right where they stood.
That is why, the story explains, many of the colored
formations of Bryce Canyon look like humans doing
things like standing, sitting, talking, or fighting.
Paiute Indians refer to Bryce as Angka-ku-wass-a-wits
meaning "red painted faces".
incredibly beautiful as Bryce Canyon is, one can not
help but appreciate the words of Mormon homesteader
Ebenezer Bryce for whom Bryce Canyon is named when
described it as "
a hell of a place to loose
a cow."

Tendai Mugabe Senior Reporter—
AN inter-ministerial committee chaired by Foreign Affairs Minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi met in Harare yesterday to finalise several agreements to be presented to Chinese President Xi Jinping who is expected in Harare next Tuesday.The meeting also sought to put financial value to the agreements, which are being discussed within the context of the mega deals signed between Zimbabwe and China during President Mugabe's state visit to the Asian economic giant in August last year.
- Sino-Zim Wildlife Foundation welcome
- Funds for major projects unveiled
- Sino-Zim to set up $50m brick plant
- Mega deals: Chinese experts jet in
- Zim to host Sino-Zim investment conference
- 'No going back on Sino-Zim mega deals'
- Sino-Zim trade volumes top $1,2b
- $4m boost for Sino-Zim
- EDITORIAL COMMENT: Xi's State visit boon for Look East Policy
- Sino-Zim to start tile, brick-making
- Chinese team hail mega deals progress
- Sino-Zim mega deals pick pace
- Sino-Zim trade hits $1,2bn
- Sinosure pledges more co-operation with Zim
Foreign Affairs Secretary Ambassador Joey Bimha confirmed the meeting, saying the agreements covered Zimbabwe's priority areas such as energy, agriculture, water reticulation and infrastructure development among others.
Although the value of the agreements could not be verified last night, it is understood that it runs into billions of dollars given the nature of the projects. The expectation is that President Xi will set the tone for the operationalisation of all agreed projects.
The implementation of the projects is likely to start during the first quarter of next year, while others are already at various stages of execution. Said Ambassador Bimha: "Minister Mumbengegwi today is chairing an inter-ministerial meeting with ministers involved in the projects that we want to undertake with the assistance of our Chinese counterparts.
"There are a number of agreements that we are looking at including agriculture, energy and water reticulation. "The Chinese will also bring their agreements that we will discuss together with ours." According to Ambassador Bimha, a lot of ground work was done to present a befitting welcome to the leader of world's second biggest and fastest growing economy.
He added that Government was attaching great importance to President Xi's visit, which is the second by a Chinese leader in the history of Zimbabwe. The first visit was in 1996 by President Jiang Zemin.
"It is such an important visit and we have made adequate preparations to receive President Xi," said Ambassador Bimha. "China is an economic power house and we are very well prepared." President Mugabe had already indicated that Zimbabwe was looking forward to President Xi's visit with great interest.
He told reporters in Turkey recently where he was attending the G20 Summit in his capacity as the African Union chairman that they would discuss several issues relating to economic development and areas that Zimbabwe would want assistance from China.
"We actually await the visit with very great interest and when he visits us, we shall be discussing some of the projects and programmes we would want China to assist us in undertaking," President Mugabe said. He added: "It's more than the visit of the Chinese head of state that is very important to us. We will discuss programmes of cooperation."
President Xi will be in Zimbabwe on a two day State visit after which he would proceed to attend the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in South Africa. The Chinese have adopted a progressive foreign policy where they extend financial assistance and expertise to African countries without strings attached.
The cordial relations between Harare and Beijing have unsettled many Western countries that isolated Zimbabwe when it embarked on pro-people, black economic empowerment policies such as the land reform programme.

BOISE - Idaho State Police investigated two crashes that happened at two consecutive exits and within about a half hour of each other Wednesday afternoon on the eastbound Connector.
The first happened at around 3:27 p.m. at the Franklin Road off-ramp.
Police said Mariah Raley, 21, of Kuna, was driving a 2005 Toyota Scion and took the exit. She drove out of the travel lane, hit the left jersey barrier, struck the right jersey barrier and then ended up in the travel lane.
Raley, who was wearing a seat belt, was taken by ambulance to Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.
The exit ramp was blocked for about a half hour after this crash, which is still being investigated.
The other crash happened at around 3:52 p.m. near the Curtis Road exit.
Police said Dustin Black, 41, of Meridian was driving a 2005 Ford Ranger, didn't yield for slowing traffic and swerved to the left to avoid a collision.
Black hit and bounced off the median barrier, then struck a 2000 Lincoln Navigator.
Jesus Herrera Rivera, 46, of Boise was driving the Navigator.
Both drivers were wearing their seat belts.
ISP dispatch said they didn't believe that either Rivera or Black were transported to a hospital.
The left two lanes of eastbound I-184 were blocked for about 20 minutes.

After seeing that Brett Favre is going to have his first Viking "auto" in Certified on Panini's webpage, I want to say a few things about the set preview they posted. Certified is next on the calendar, I believe, and is another in the mid end set line up that Donruss releases every year. Threads, Certified, Limited, Gridiron Gear, they all usually blend together.
First, I am actually surprised that Favre's auto card looks pretty good. Aside from the horrid foil board that its printed on, and the fact that it looks EXACTLY like last year's set, its not bad. The problem is that its just too easy to slap a sticker on the card and call it his first Viking auto. When you are almost 100% stickers in your sets, its kind of a cop out to claim that you are first. You could have put him in a Twins uniform and called it his first Minnesota auto. That sticker sort of invalidates the claim. Besides, it wont be about quality as the card will probably go for hundreds, despite the Playoff hologram background on the Donruss sticker, and that it will most likely only have 5 copies.
Second, the preview shows some pretty cool looking cards from the set, which made me feel weirdly anxious. Of course, these are all some of the best hits of the product, so I will withold total judgement until I see the rest.
The dual swatch freshmen fabric cards look great this year, surprisingly. They went back to the horizontal stack rather than the vertical stack, and it works SOOOOO much better. I may actually want a few of these, even though the rainbow foil is completely distracting.
The fabric of the game autos look good as well, but again, these are rare ass fucking cards, maybe limited to 5 or 25 copies at the most. The swatches are even in the right place, yet, I am very scared as to what the normal, non-auto versions look like.
The triple and quad swatch freshmen fabric cards are just as bad as they were last year, floating swatches and all. The quads are almost too busy to comprehend, and they break the design borders, unlike the duals which look cool. The souvenir stamps also look as bad as they usually do, mainly because that stray swatch looks extremely out of place. Although the rookies finally found a way to fit their signatures into the window below the stamps in these cases, others wont be so lucky.
Lastly, these Immortals cards are ridiculously awful. Yes they feature swatches and autos in some rare cases, but the player is being chased by huge obscuring text and out of place windows and stickers. Just a poor design and a poor decision to try to stuff all those things onto the cards.
Overall, I am still VERY apprehensive about this set. If these cards are the best of the best, and they just spike my awesometer to a normal expected level, what will the rest be like?

Board-certified real estate attorney Gary M. Singer writes about the housing market in this space each Friday. To ask him a question about short sales, mortgages, refinancing, homeowner's associations or any other residential real estate topic, click here.
Q: I listed my home for a short sale in October and recently received a contract from a buyer. I'm waiting for the bank's approval. At the end of March, I was served with foreclosure papers. How is this possible if I have a contract on the property? – Christine
A: This happens quite often. It's a common misconception that the lender won't file a foreclosure lawsuit against you if you are negotiating a short sale or loan modification. You should expect to get served with a foreclosure lawsuit four months or so after you stop making mortgage payments. When you try to complete a short sale, it often takes a month or two to get it under contract and 45 to 90 days to get an approval from the lender. If you fail to respond to the foreclosure within 20 days, you will be in default and will have waived valuable rights in defending the lawsuit in case the short sale falls through. I recommend that you see an attorney about responding to the lawsuit.
Q: Can I quit claim my house to my daughter without notifying my mortgage lender? – Elizabeth
A: No, at least not without breaking the terms of your mortgage loan. Most loans have a "due on sale" clause that states that if you transfer the property, you need to immediately pay back the full balance. So while there is nothing stopping you from deeding the house to your daughter, if your lender finds out, it can sue you and your daughter to foreclose the home. It is a much better idea to try to get your bank's permission, or have your daughter buy it from you using a new loan.

played well last night didn't actually get much support quick enough had to find good alternative passes. unusual for him to play primarily on the left/left attack but helped alli and unlucky not to continue england scoring run.
Out for four weeks.
I'd like it if we drop Coutinho into Lallana's position for the time being. Can Henderson and Wijnaldum is lacking imo.
He needs to add more offensively.
When there is any player with any sort of quality from England they just play him till he gets injured. Lallana out for 4 weeks thats just great
I'd be even tempted to say move Coutinho infield, Wijnaldum left and then play with a double pivot of Can and Henderson. 4-2-3-1. I think Lallana is so key to our 4-3-3 system that it may be too hard to replicate without him, so try something different.
Time to bring Moreno to left back and try milner in midfield.
Hate these international ***** matches!! Hate England - hope the Scots batter them!!
Agreed. Our midfield needs some guile & vision for this game... A three of Henderson, Can & Coutinho has a good mix of qualities, a lot will depend on How Henderson copes with the pace after a while out but Can has shown improvement playing as a defensive midfielder so I'd leave him in there...Personally feel Mane is the key forward for us, as long as he's in the zone Everton are in trouble at the back. Matip has proven he can marshal the best forwards well this season, big game required from him again... in fact, big game needed from all eleven in a massive match but that's been our strength this season!
I honestly don't *********** know why there are international games this late into domestic seasons. It's the same story every time. The English media bashed Klopp's training methods nonstop when it's always one of our English players that gets injured whilst away with the national team. Perhaps the English media should question the training methods of the grossly unqualified Gareth Southgate and the bums that coached England before him.
That's virtually our counter pressing gone out the window.
But he hasn't exactly been on form for us...no goals or assists this year.
Massive miss and could cost us top 4. **** international my word.
I'm really annoyed about this.
Lallana got injured on international duty last autumn and was out a while during which time our form started to drop.
Awful time to be without one of our key players.
I remember all the injuries Jamie Redknapp used to get while on international duty - it almost cost him his career. I just hope Adam doesn't go the same way.
overplayed - southgate
For me there isn't enough pressure on England managers' to ensure the fitness of the players leaving off international duty. Instead it feels like to me, that they have them for a week, so they work them as hard as possible and play them as much as possible and then if they leave fatigued it isn't their issue.
If there was more pressure to ensure every player who goes to an England camp, leaves fit (impact injury aside) then there wouldn't be a chance in hell of a player, who plays at the intensity of Lallana playing two games in the space of a week - especially when one of those fixtures is a friendly and the other against dreadful opposition that your U18s would beat
Now that Lallana is out it may be better to go with a midfield 3 of Can , Gini and Coutinho ......put Henderson on the bench along with Lovren

"Downton Abbey" coming to the big screen in San Antonio?
Brilliant! Or more appropriately, good show, old bean!
Yes, Santikos Palladium is donating space to local PBS affiliate, KLRN, for a "Downton" season finale viewing party on Sunday.
The event is free and open to the public. I've seen the episode, which wraps up Season 4, and it's a goodie. Cora's mother (Shirley MacLaine) arrives from America to tell everyone off in her usual flamboyant style. Her wayward son (Paul Giamatti) also adds some grumbling color to the proceedings. There's plenty of intrigue and romance to keep you thoroughly entertained.
The viewing lasts from 8 to 9:15 Sunday, with doors opening at 7 p.m. Refreshments will be available for purchase.
Because seating is limited, you must RSVP in advance. To reserve seats, click here.

Giants bottom out
Manning sacked seven times in 38-0 loss, their worst under Coughlin
Published 10:29 pm, Sunday, September 22, 2013
Charlotte, N.C.
The New York Giants' offense is a mess, and coach Tom Coughlin knows time is running out to find answers and salvage the season.
New York's 38-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday was the most lopsided defeat in Coughlin's 10 seasons with the Giants. It speaks volumes about just how far they are from being a competitive team.
In three games, the Giants have turned the ball over 13 times, Eli Manning has been sacked 11 times, and New York has only 133 yards rushing.
The Giants have been outscored 115-54 en route to an 0-3 start.
"Disappointed isn't a strong enough word," Coughlin said after Sunday's performance.
The Giants have plenty of concerns as they prepare for next Sunday's game against Kansas City (3-0).
Of the 161 teams that have started 0-3 since 1978, only five made the NFL playoffs.
"We'll reload," Coughlin said. "We're going to fight every step of the way. We're going to give it everything we've got. We're going to battle and we're going to be competitive and try as hard as we can."
Everything the Giants tried Sunday didn't work.
Manning was held to 119 yards on 12-for-23 passing. He was intercepted twice and sacked seven times — six in the first half. The Giants had 60 yards rushing, but 40 came after they were trailing 31-0.
The Giants are averaging just 2.7 yards per carry this season.
Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another.
It was Carolina's most lopsided victory in franchise history, helping to eliminate questions about coach Ron Rivera's job security entering the team's bye week.
Carolina's previous best rout was a 34-0 win over Kansas City in 2008.
This one couldn't have come at a better time for Rivera, especially after his team squandered fourth-quarter leads to Seattle and Buffalo. That dropped his record to 2-14 in games decided by seven points or fewer and raised speculation about his job.
"We allowed Coach, as people say, to survive another week," Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith said.
Defensive end Greg Hardy, who tied a career-high with three sacks in the first half, said if Rivera was feeling pressure to win he never let on to his players at practice.
"He basically came out and said, 'You know what, (to heck with) me, I'm here for you guys,'" Hardy said. "He said, 'This is what we're going to do. We're going to win because we are a team not because of any of that.' It makes you want to play 10 times harder for him."
The Panthers set the tone early, sacking Manning five times in the first quarter. They limited the Giants to 18 yards — and just 1 yard passing — in the first half and took a 17-0 lead to the locker room.
The Panthers offense, feeding off the defense, finally got things rolling.
Offensive coordinator Mike Shula allowed Newton to run out of the read option, which helped open up an offense that had been mostly stagnant this season.
Newton had 223 yards passing and threw two touchdown passes to Brandon LaFell and one to Ted Ginn Jr. He ran for 45 yards and his first TD of the season.
DeAngelo Williams ran for 120 yards on 23 carries.
The Panthers turned to a read-option on their second possession, something they used frequently the last two seasons but haven't gone to much this year. Newton ran four times for 40 yards on the drive, with fullback Mike Tolbert scoring on a 2-yard run.
Newton said that was designed to neutralize defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul's pass rush.
"The game plan was to attack and nuke his aggressiveness and turn it into his curse," Newton said.

I am dedicated to practicing Heart Intelligence and showing others how to activate their heart intelligence while experiencing more connection and freedom in their life.

Your body holds the secrets to your deepest inner self. Our wellness programs will teach you how to listen to your body's wisdom and use that information to create more health and aliveness for yourself and in all your relationships.
Wellness Consultations are scheduled by appointment as a specialty private session. This Heart Intelligent approach to body awareness is a step by step method to your success.

Georgia vs. Buffalo: Bulldogs Showcase Brilliance as Well as ConcernsSeptember 2, 2012
As the second half came rolling to an end yesterday in the University of Georgia's game against the University of Buffalo Bulls (3-9, 2-6 MAC in 2011), red and black clad fans had plenty of excuses to chew their fingernails off.
A seemingly inferior "cupcake" team from the second tier of FBS football came into a hostile environment and was able to carve up what has been considered an "elite" defense by nearly every football researching pundit.
With a short field goal during the waning seconds of the second quarter, Buffalo managed to go into halftime trailing by just eight points against the No. 6 team in the nation.
This wasn't good for the fans, nor did it seem as if it was going to be very good for Georgia's own psyche. Yes, the Bulldogs did manage to pull away and finish off the Bulls with a nice 45-23 victory, and true freshman sensation Todd Gurley (eight carries, 100 yards, two rushing touchdowns and a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown) might have erased any questions about Georgia's running game, but there's cause for concern on the Dawgs' defensive side of the ball.
Georgia's defense was flat
That's a big surprise considering Georgia returns 10 starters from the fifth best defense in the country last year. Yesterday, Buffalo quarterback Alex Zordich and tailback Branden Oliver managed to put 199 total rushing yards against the Georgia defense.
What was even more worrisome was how it happened—Zordich, who is no Denard Robinson (University of Michigan), had 83 of those yards on 14 carries and a touchdown.
Zordich was able to find gigantic lanes to run through against defensive coordinator Todd Grantham's 3-4 defense during the entire contest. What is scary is the fact there was seemingly no adjustments made to re-route Zordich's running path as the game went on.
The Bulldogs' defense did not seem very aggressive, playcalling wise, as it stuck to a lot of man-to-man and three-to-four man rushes. Defensive ends and All-American linebacker Jarvis Jones (two sacks) stuck with the outside pass rush for the entire game.
It might have been better if more exotic blitzes were implemented. On the flipside, Georgia might have deliberately gone for a more basic gameplan to give the Missouri Tigers less tape to see before next Saturday's gigantic SEC matchup in Columbia, Mo.
From what we know, Branden Smith, Sanders Commings, Bacarri Rambo, Alec Ogletree and Chase Vasser will not be available for that game. Georgia's suspensions were a cause for concern heading into the season, but no one thought the backups would see any problems against the Bulls on opening day.
The gameplan and the play of Georgia's young pups Damian Swann, Amarlo Herrera and Connor Norman need to pick up by next week—especially if cornerback Malcolm Mitchell, who has a nagging sprained ankle, can't come back in time.
Bobo's playcalling was smarter than most think
Offensive coordinator Mike Bobo caught a little bit of heat after this game for trying too hard to go for big pass plays early and often during drives, especially when Georgia was only up 24-16 at the start of the third frame.
With three runningbacks in the stable who need reps, most fans were clamoring for a heavy-run game to punish the Bulls. Instead, the Bulldogs offense was throwing a lot of deep passes and Aaron Murray even took a little while to get going.
When Georgia had bigger leads in the second-half, Bobo continued to dial up the long ball. This may have contributed to less ball control and thus more yards and points for the Bulls.
While at first glance it might have seemed that Bobo was trying to rack up Murray's statistics, there could have been a method to his madness.
These new runningbacks are talented. Gurley seems ultra-talented. But, the number one learning curve for new tailbacks is pass protection. The added reps for pass protection in real games was definitely was smart.
Todd Gurley could be Georgia's feature back by October
If there was one positive that stuck out yesterday it was the performance from Gurley (6'1", 218 lbs). The young pup already looks like a man among boys out there and his running performance was outstanding.
Gurley's 100-yard kickoff return touchdown and his late 55-yard touchdown run supported his great fall-scrimmage statistics and reassured fans who were skeptical of his comparisons to former University of Alabama great Trent Richardson.
He sure looked like a Richardson clone—at least against the Buffalo defense. For a man of his size, Gurley showcased some serious speed, acceleration, power and balance. It will be really fun to watch him this year.
Special teams still an issue
Georgia's kickoff coverage unit let out a big one yesterday. Georgia had huge problems with kickoff coverage last year, and it showed its ugly head again against Buffalo.
Georgia's depth could be the biggest cause for concern right now. With so many suspensions, less starters and second-depth players are on the coverage units.
As well, freshman placekicker Marshall Morgan looked a little so-so in his first start between the hedges. Morgan missed his first collegiate attempt—a 45-yarder, and nearly missed his first point-after attempt.
Punter Colin Barber was impressive, however.
Conference competition looks serious
Yes, Georgia was picked to win the SEC East by the media, but this division could be more of a battle than previously thought.
University of South Carolina runningback Marcus Lattimore proved again why he was considered one of the top recruits in the country a few years ago. Vanderbilt showed some muscle on the other side of that game. And, the University of Tennessee was probably the most impressive SEC team in week one outside of Alabama.
Speaking of Alabama, the Crimson Tide's blowout victory over No. 8 Michigan was one of the most impressive wins in recent memory. There is no doubt many will say the SEC still reigns supreme, but the real story here is Nick Saban's team and only his team.
Alabama might clearly be the best team in the country. If Georgia makes it to the SEC championship game it is going to need a much more polished team to keep up with the Crimson Tide, who looked to have not missed a beat from its national title season.
