The Truth about CBD.
If just a small percentage of what some research doctors and scientists are saying about Cannabinoids and the particular cannabinoid known as Cannabidiol (CBD) is true, we may potentially have an amazing a scientific breakthrough. Cannabidiol, when extracted from the industrial hemp plant has shown extraordinary health and wellness benefits. http://csglobe.com/high-on-health-cannabinoids-in-the-food-supply/ .
The US based National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health has a highly positive reference on CBD on their website. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/cam/cannabis/healthprofessional/page4
Although there is little knowledge / public awareness of the benefits of CBD, this is rapidly changing. Cannabidiol, CBD, if derived from industrial hemp stalk or seed is a legal product within the United States.
Cannabidiol Benefits
Persuasive evidence abounds that a particular extract from the industrial hemp plant, in the family of cannabinoids, known as Cannabidiol, holds significant health benefits http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=001656 . Cannabidiol, or CBD when derived from hemp stalk and seed, is a legal product in the United States!
CBD offers few, if any, side effects as it is a natural, plant based compound. Combined into a variety of health and wellness-based products, CBD can now be part of one's daily nutritional routine. Doctors (not just cannabis based doctors) may soon be telling their patients: "Exercise and get your CBD daily"! Source: Allan Badiner, author and http://www.realitysandwich.com/high_health_cbd_food_supply
For more information on CBD simply google search under CBD benefits
Universally accepted following its discovery in 1995, the endo-cannabinoid system asserts health and wellness power. Cannabinoids trigger potent health and wellness benefits http://csglobe.com/high-on-health-cannabinoids-in-the-food-supply/. Products are now available where these cannabinoids, particularly cannabidiol (CBD) have been extracted from the industrial hemp plant and combined into a supplemental product – providing a unique and futuristic health and wellness experience.

Juniper's (
) share in bottom layer switches, the most common type of switch
that addresses layers 2-3 of network architecture, has increased
from an estimated 1% in 2005 to 4% in 2009. We anticipate a more
moderate pace of growth in the years ahead, as the network switches
market is close to saturation and Cisco (
) continues to dominated this segment with 55-60% share. While
Juniper is a relatively new entrant, it also faces competition from
mid-rung players like Tellabs (
) and Alcatel-lucent (
While we expect Juniper's share in bottom layer switches to
remain under 6% through our forecast period, the Trefis community
projects that this number could continue its recent growth pace and
breach 8%. The community forecast implies nearly 10% upside to our
price estimate for Juniper stock.
While this upside potential is encouraging, we note that
our base price estimate of $27.76 for Juniper
stands well below market price.
Network Switches Market is Becoming Saturated
The network switches market is relatively mature and close to
saturation. Most of its growth is driven by replacements and
upgrades, rather than new customers entering the market or existing
customers expanding usage. Further, there are limits to technical
innovations in bottom layer switching and most of the upgrades
center on an increase in processing speeds. As a result,
competition is intense with a number of players fighting for a
limited customer base. The market is extremely crowded with the
likes of Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei-3Com and HP among others vying for
the same opportunities.
Cisco's Formidable Position in Switches Market
Cisco has consistently maintained a market share of 55-60% in
the bottom layer switch market through strong relationships with
most of its customers. Cisco has grown so widely that its brand is
almost considered to be synonymous with switches. This makes it
tough for any competitor to break into Cisco's market unless it
comes up with a vastly superior product or collaborates with other
For example, to counter Cisco's move into the server space, IBM
recently announced that it will be selling Juniper's network
switches and routers under its brand name to complement IBM servers
in data centers. Since data centers are one of the fastest growing
business segments for the networking business, any push here is
likely to boost Juniper's market share.
Trefis Community Forecast
The Trefis community forecasts that Juniper's share in bottom
layer network switches will grow from 2009 levels of 4% to beyond
8% by the end of our forecast period. This marks notable upside to
our base estimate that market share will remain below 6%. The
member estimates imply an upside of nearly 10% to
our $27.76 price estimate for Juniper stock
. However, we note that this scenario would still leave our number
well below the current market price.

various bottom layer switch market share scenarios could affect
Juniper's stock value.

Out-of-state interests are pushing Longview, Washington to build a coal export facility to enable coal companies to export Montanan coal to China. The facility would create 21 jobs more than the site's current tenant. That is the only benefit it would provide the community.
At the same time, more than 5 million tons of coal per year would rumble through Longview, causing local air pollution and endangering fish and wildlife in and around the Columbia River. Furthermore, even if everything goes according to plan, everyone pays the price when that coal reaches China and emits its greenhouse gases into our shared atmosphere.
Nobody benefits from this project except coal companies. Ask Washington Governor Chris Gregoire to block this senseless facility.
Helping coal companies sell Montana's coal to China will not help Washington. Longview residents would suffer air pollution from transported coal dust and risk contamination of the Columbia River. And even if everything works perfectly, all Washingtonians would just have their air further polluted by more greenhouse gases emitted from Chinese coal plants. That's not worth a handful of jobs.
There are better, cleaner ways to create jobs in Longview. How about a renewable energy project that will put Washington even further on the path to a sustainable, energy independent future?
Washington has an exemplary environmental record so far. I hope you will do what is necessary to keep it.
Please block this project.

You might consider a 35 - 70 zoom.

You might consider a 35 - 70 zoom.
Go with a 35mm. It's the perfect all-rounder in my opinion. But keep a 28mm nearby, sometimes that gives more compelling perspective in images, of witch I think can work great.
17mm. You'll not only get the street, but the alleys too ;)
Seriously though ... wait that was serious.
No I mean ... I started doing street photos with a 50mm cause its all I had. Now I use my 28mm most days. But I also own a 35mm. When I can afford it, I'm going to get a 21mm.
From the OP about "having to get too close to the person" with a wider angle lens, well then you are just limiting your view of what street photography is. Its not always about a single person or a couple ... whatever. Oftentimes it encompasses the energy of "the street" as the subject, not people. Many of Friedlanders photos are nearly devoid of people, or they are small objects relative to the frame.
Now if you're interested in a kind of street portratiture, then sure a 50mm might be ideal .. but then I would argue engagement with the subject isn't always a bad thing.
Pre-focusing with a wider angle lens is easier too, and with the right camera you can stand right in front of someone and snap some shots and they'll never know, unless you are limiting yourself to looking through the viewfinder.
Have fun ... experiment!
Depends on the area.....50 and 35 are the two I turn to. Mostly I prefer 50 just because it can isolate a subject better. Cartier-Bresson preferred a 50 so it can't be all that bad.
50mm is the one for me at the moment. Previously I preferred 35mm to the extent that I had to force myself to use 50mm for 3 months (one camera, one lens, one film project). Since then I haven't looked back.
The little Nikon 45/2.8 Ai-P is really nice on the FM/FE variants or an N90s for street shooting--just wider than a 50 to be interesting.
I will say though that in my Intro to B&W classes I make all my students use a 50mm for the first 1/3 of the semester. I'm still a believer its the best lens on which to learn composition with a 35mm camera.
For 6x9 try a 65mm or 75mm lens.
Perspective, of course, has nothing to do with the lens one uses. It is only related to subject distance. The different focal length lenses only change the field of view.
Started off with a 50, loved it. Henri Cartier-Bresson was the person who "assured" me that it was possible (before that, I'd been using mid-teles).
Got a 35, loved it more. Put the 50 aside for a month or so.
35mm VF broke in Europe (cheap plastic one). Went back to 50mm.
Still on 50mm until I get a new finder.
Both focal lengths work for me. Not sure I'd go much wider or longer than that, but I'd rather go wider (25?) than longer.
I'll have far more choice with my lenses when my Zorkis come in the mail — right now I'm using a Kiev.
A few more weeks…
I love using a 24mm for both field of view and distortion. When you don't want distortion, a 35mm or 50mm is good in my opinion. I never use anything longer.

Re: One More Time Pension
If you can read Japanese, they have more info there: http://www.one-nikko.com/access.shtml It says that you can call between 3-5pm to arrange for pick up from Nikko station. The closest bus stop by walking is about 1.5km, or 30 minutes. You can also arrange for transportation to/from the bus stop.
Just keep in mind that Nikko is a mountainous area, and what you see on the map may seem short distance, but it's hard to say if it is a steep or flat road from the map.
You can get a Tobu Pass instead of using the JR. I think it is worth it if you are spending a night there. I have some info on my page.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- K-V Pharmaceutical Company (NYSE: KV.A/ KV.B) (the "Company" or "K-V"), today commented on the settlement of false claims allegations with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") associated with the Company's former ETHEX generic pharmaceutical subsidiary.
In connection with a multi-defendant action captioned United States ex rel. Constance Conrad v. ETHEX Corp., et al., No. 02-11738-RWZ (D. Mass.), K-V has agreed to pay a total of $17 million over five years to resolve False Claims Act allegations raised by the government that ETHEX, the Company's former generic pharmaceutical subsidiary, allegedly failed to advise the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that two products -- Nitroglycerin Extended Release Capsules (Nitroglycerin ER) and Hyoscyamine Sulfate Extended Release Capsules (Hyoscyamine ER) -- purportedly did not qualify for coverage under federal health care programs. K-V admitted no wrongdoing in settling the matter. The settlement includes a multi-year payment schedule with nominal near-term capital requirements.
"We are satisfied with the settlement terms and the resolution of a legacy issue associated with our former ETHEX subsidiary," stated Greg Divis, Chief Executive Officer of K-V. "The agreed terms include a reasonable five-year payment schedule, with less than $1 million to be paid within the first year. We are also pleased that the government deemed our current operations and compliance function sufficiently robust as to not require a corporate integrity agreement. The closure of this matter is another step forward as K-V moves ahead as a women's healthcare focused branded specialty pharmaceutical company."

"These are not necessarily sports-playing injuries," said Stoddard, who also is a research fellow at the U-M School of Nursing. "They could be from a car accident or from previous violent behavior, but it does support some of the sports research that's been going on with concussions."
Stoddard used data from the School of Public Health's Flint Adolescent Study, which looks at many issues regarding urban youth. Marc Zimmerman, professor of public health and chair of the U-M Department of Health Behavior and Health Education, is the principal investigator on that study.
The researchers followed a group of ninth-graders from four schools in Flint, Mich., into young adulthood. They conducted annual interviews over eight years. In years five and six, participants were asked if they had ever sustained a head injury. Those who said yes---about 23 percent---reported more violent behavior in year eight of the study.
Moreover, Stoddard and Zimmerman examined the proximal relationship between a head injury and violent behavior and found that an injury reported in year seven of the study predicted violent behavior in year eight.
"We found that the link between a head injury and later violence was stronger when a head injury was more recent, even after controlling for other factors including previous violent behavior," Stoddard said.
The results also suggest that adolescents and young adults who have suffered a head injury that did not interfere with their ability to participate in an hour-long interview may still experience significant adverse developmental or behavioral effects.
The researchers defined a head injury as having been knocked unconscious or sustaining a concussion or a fractured skull.

San Jose Jury Finds That Corporation Forfeited Invention Ownership Rights Under It's Employee Invention Agreement
On June 9th, 2015 a San Jose, California jury upheld employee rights by finding that an employer corporation forfeited its ownership rights to inventions under an employee invention agreement in favor of the employee inventor. Contractual invention agreements can create traps for employees who invent on their own time and who are required to disclose those inventions to their employer regardless. The jury's finding will protect employees when corporations fail to claim or disclose their intent to claim the invention, while acting in a manner that, from an employee's perspective, contradicts such employer ownerership.

My wife is 24 weeks pregnant. We went for another ultrasound this morning and for the second time he's holding his left hand in front of his face. The tech tells us that's a pretty good sign he'll be left-handed. My first response..."Honey, I need to buy a bunch of new guns because we'll need an ambi safeties and an Ithaca pump that ejects on the bottom for him to use." Needless to say she was less than amused, but I think it's genius!

What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life.

Research suggests that, for some, addiction grabs hold quickly
MONDAY, Oct. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Just a single drag on a cigarette may drag a teen into smoking addiction, a new study suggests.
Researchers say almost a third of kids interviewed who tried smoking said their first cigarette brought them a feeling of relaxation -- and two-thirds of those kids went on to become smokers.
"This provides further support for the idea that dependence begins with the first cigarette," said study lead author Dr. Joseph DiFranza, a professor in the department of family medicine and community health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester, Mass.
DiFranza's findings are reported in the October issue of Pediatrics.
Between 2002 and 2006, the study authors tracked the smoking habits of 217 sixth-graders, averaging 12 years of age, who they recruited from six schools in Massachusetts. Nearly three-quarters of the children were non-Hispanic whites, and all reported having inhaled a cigarette at least once.
A total of 11 in-person, 20-minute interviews were conducted over the four-year study period. The teens also completed psychological evaluations while recounting their history of tobacco use.
Tobacco-dependence was assessed based on such criteria as cravings, compulsion to smoke, changes in tolerance, time devoted to the pursuit of smoking, and an inability to quit.
As well, all the boys and girls were asked questions regarding basic personality traits, attitudes and beliefs, their social environment, and involvement with their family and community.
The result: Once a teen had tried cigarettes, very little they did afterward impacted on whether they became addicted or not.
Furthermore, experiencing that feeling of being "relaxed" immediately after the first puff of a cigarette was the leading predictor of becoming dependent on cigarettes and

Historical Traveler Reviews The Sagamore Bolton Landing
Top Notch Resort
The Sagamore is an absolutely fabulous resort. My family vacationed at the resort for three summers and we have never been disappointed. My husband and I have spent many vacations at luxury resorts (eg. Four Seasons) and we agree that the Sagamore provides Top Shelf accomodations.
The beach in the summer is absolutely fabulous, especially if you have children. However, there are plenty of quiet places to sit and enjoy the spectacular view of the lake. The service is impeccable. We have always stayed in the Main Hotel and have always been extremely pleased in the appointments and cleanliness of our rooms. In reading some of the less favorable reviews, I can understand that some guests may not agree with the policies of the Sagamore. The hotel does expect a certain level of conduct from its guests. A dress code is in place, and children (although very welcome at the resort as a whole) are not permitted in the five star restaurant or the veranda for dinner.
Bolton's Landing is a lovely little town and walking distance from the hotel. There are inexpensive family restaurants, quaint shops, and an ice cream parlor. One night we were stranded in town during a thunderstorm. I called the Sagamore, and a van arrived within five minutes to take us back to the hotel. Very nice.
As for the expenisve rates, well, you get what you pay for. If you are looking for a five star experience at one of America's oldest and grandest hotels you won't mind paying the price, otherwise there is a Holiday Inn down the road.
Perfect Weekend Escape!
This hotel is superb. After spending a long weekend here enjoying the beautiful foilage, great service, spectacular lake views, and numerous resort activities from the spa to walks, to swimming in the pool overlooking the lake, to just relaxing in the room, i don't understand the negative reviews. I think they were written by people used to staying in motels. I've stayed at some of the world's most prestigious resorts, and this one has a rustic charm and first class facilities.
We stayed in a lodge suite overlooking the lake - the room was clean and spacious, and the large bathrooms were nicely decorated. The living room was a nice adirondack decor, the gas fireplaces were perfect for a chilly day, and each one has a little terrace with rocking chairs overlooking the lake.
Try to have tea in the atrium as you take in the spectacular lake views.
Worst value on the Lake
By looking at the dreamy web site, I thought the Sagamore, though expensive, was going to be worth it. My family stayed in the Lodge and you'd think we checked into a Holiday Inn. Tax, tip, and room cleaning charges pushed the room price to around $350 @ night!! The first room we were given was below street level, what a dungeon!! The other had a beautiful view of the parking lot. Pilly polyester comforters on the bed did not add to the ambiance of our stay. Beautiful grounds except for the dirty drink glass that stood outside our room for our entire stay. Stay somewhere else, save your money and visit the Sagamore for a drink. I also wrote the management about our stay and have no response for almost 30 days.
Hotels like this only will not receive repeat business
My family of four and our friends (family of three) stayed at this hotel for the 2004 Labor Day weekend. Like other customers who have submitted reviews, we were very surprised at the additional service charge of $6 per person per night (not listed on the hotel's website). There was also an extra charge of $50 per child per night. One could understand an additional charge per child if breakfast was included in the room charge, but no that was not the case. For a two night stay, our bill amounted to $1800!
The absolute worst feature of the hotel was its staff. There was no visible management in the main lodge. And when hotel staff were in view, they were untrained and doing something ill-timed, like vaccuming a lobby area full of guests! At the rates the hotel charges, it should have fabulous, courteous and well-trained staff. Instead the hotel has concierge staff with no idea about local restaurants because they have never been to at any of them, recreation staff at the lakefront that would rather talk among themselves than assist paying customers and staff that take 2 hours to serve pre-prepared lunch sandwiches in plastic containers to customers sitting lake-side. We had difficulty obtaining a dinner reservation at Trillium, the main dining room. Funny thing was, when we finally obtained the reservation and went to dinner, the dining room was only 1/2 full! Where is management?
We travel often, in the U.S. and abroad. We give repeat business to many hotels. This will not be one of them.
Kiss Your Hard Earned Money Goodbye
Having just returned with my family from our most disappointing vacation ever, I am compelled to write my first review to alert other unwary families.
The Hotel is, in this writer's opinion, simply a "rip off." As a guest here you recognize, given the published rates, that you are paying top dollar to stay at the Resort.
But you are then gouged by the Hotel with a myriad of charges. In essence, the Hotel takes your credit card "hostage" and proceeds "willy nilly" to rack up an assortment of gratuities -- including a daily "service" charge of $6 per person (including infants, but apparently not pet fish) per day. A family of four pays $24 daily. What you receive for this daily "shakedown" is anyone's guess.
Dining staff generously award themselves a mandatory 18% tip. Yet, the so-called service itself is less than mediocre across the board.
I guess since the staff receives "guaranteed" lavish gratuities, the idea of providing minimally acceptable service would be gratuitous.
The "Lodge" accommodations approximate what one might find at Motel 6, but no one bothered to "leave the light on for" us even at the daily rate topping $530 -- nothing included.
It's hard to fathom how this Hotel does "repeat" business. As the saying goes, "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me."
Romantic, But stay in the main Hotel
A beautiful, historic hotel with an extremely friendly staff. We visited during the off-season (May 1, 2), but we enjoyed the sereness of Lake George more than had it been bustling with hundreds of people. We sat out back on the adirondack chairs, mesmorized by the beauty of Lake George, sailboats, kayakers, all while enjoying high tea, finger sandwiches, shrimp cocktails, and drinks, served by our great waiter Aaron. The dinner was good (make sure you get Joseph as your bartender and waiter), the brunch next day was delicious. Our hotel room was impeccably decorated with amazing colors, a comfortable poster bed, a view of the lake, and a shower you don't want to come out of. We upgraded from the lodge to the main hotel, and it was a wise choice. You can only enjoy the grounds if you are part of the main hotel. Make sure you take a walk over to the pool and spa. Read the wall that explains the history of the hotel to understand why the Sagamore is so special, and don't miss the original menu items from the late 1800's. Visit Saratoga on your way home too, only 20 minutes away!
Beware of Rooms
We stayed here in Aug. 2003. We had a room in the lodges and were VERY disappointed with it for the price we paid (over $300 per night!!). The lodge rooms are very small, run down, old furniture, dirty windows, carpeting worn, very small bathroom and just overall shabby -- smelled bad too. YUCK! We don't know about the rooms in the main house ("castle"). The grounds and main house are beautiful and the food was excellent (expensive). It has a good location right on Lake George with breathtaking views of the lake/mountains. But beware of those rooms!
Read the rules, bring lots of cash
The Sagamore is a great place if you love a well ordered and expensive vacation. Every order is charged an 18% service fee regardless of where it is served. The staff is constantly telling you that you are breaking some rule or another and adding that they are unable to accommodate your requests. One evening my brother and I were asked to leave the dock because of the danger of drowning. That is, two middle aged men need a lifeguard at the Sagamore dock at 11PM. The staff is vague to hostile when you request a private banquet or meeting boating facility for a small group. They said that these facilities were reserved for large groups. Even when pressed they refused to say how large a large group was. In short the staff is haughty and vaguely hostile. The rules of the resort are tedious and arbitrary. The local animals pick at the dirty dishes left after room service and every service is charged an 18% gratuity weather you like it or not.
This Is THE place to stay while in Beautiful Lake George
My family and I visited Lake George the first time when I was around 12, and we stayed at another hotel...not to be mentioned...that was 'antique' to say the least. The next day we went to the Sagamore, and WOW! This place has everything...spa, fitness center, normal rooms, suites, Loft suites, and most importantly, a Beautiful lake view can be seen from All angles...the Sagamore is its own island!!!! It even has a swimming areas roped off, a little beact, boats, trails, hiking,....Everything. We have gone back every year since, and now im 18 years old. Eat at the resturant thats next to Chicks Marina...and rent boats at Chicks Marina...thats in Bouling Landing. THIS IS the BEST place!!! PLUS it has a guard at the gate, and one time my sister cut herself and we called for a few bandaids and this emergency crew came within 2 mintues...STAY HERE!!!!!!! its Great!!!
Stay here, but eat at the Algonquin!
Stay at the Sapamore but eat at the Algonquin!!!!

Ahrrrr!!! Pirate Day!!
Pirate Day on the Hudson. An annual event held by the Adirondack Adventure crew where they supply pirate costume items complete with eye-patches and scarfs. The crew dons their pirate best and a crazy fun filled day of rafting takes place on the Hudson River. They rate the rapids we rode as Class III-V, However, based on the Class V's Alex and I have done elsewhere, I think these were a little weak. The river was down a little, but it was still a lot of fun. We started the day by rolling ...
Camping, Awesome!!
Day 2 of camping in the Adirondacks was just what I really enjoy. The rain had continued the entire night, which was actually a nice sound on the tarp Alex had placed above our tent. We remained bone dry the entire night. Alex slept in, so I hiked a bit around the lake. As I approached the camp, I walked up on a deer, probably 10 feet away. How I was able to get that close I am not sure. It looked up as we noticed each other, and slowly walked away. What a ...

How much should the Tooth Fairy be making?
by Ron Olson
posted Mar 1 2013 6:54AM
According to a new survey , the tooth fairy now pays an average of $2.42 a tooth...That's a 15% increase over last year, when she only paid $2.10 a tooth. Kids get paid a premium for their first tooth...$3.49 for the first one...the most common amount is a buck.

|Agreed on your second point.
Agreed on your second point. Harbaugh made some point in his press conference about how De'Veon had some injury that he would need to "play through" or something like that - it's nice to see that a lot of that is talk, and that he's willing to sit players when it helps the team.

A game manager who turns the ball over twice a game isn't much of a game manager. Also, I don't think asking him to hit any of the 2-3 wide open deep guys he gets a game is that high of a bar to clear. If he could even threaten to do that it would open up this offense so much.
All that having been said, I don't know if thin ice is the right way to put it. If Shane was even close to being better we would have seen something from him by now.

My understanding is that all-conference offensive line honors, especially in the coaches poll, tend to reflect upperclassmen with decent reputations. I think if Harbaugh get's our running game to solidly good through B1G play, we'll be rewarded with a first or at least second-team all B1G OL, probably Glasgow.

|WAY too many favorite moments
WAY too many favorite moments to say them all. The run against ND was awesome - "He's at the 50! And they'll never catch him!" I was also at UTL, so that was incredible. Him coming out to the field an hour after the game, when the stadium was still packed with euphoric fans, was incredible. All of his smiles in press conferences, etc were great. His first run was quite the moment, especially because I had looked away from the play, assuming it had already ended (I didn't have the best view), only to hear a great cheer and realize he had scored. The win against OSU was wonderful. I mean, so many....
He was really the last athlete I idolized. He played for us while I was in high school mostly, and by the time I got to college it sort of sunk in that athletes were just students like me - not larger than life figures. But for his first couple of years with us under Rich Rod, he was so much more than that. My avatar is actually something I made in Minecraft when I was 15 or so, a big hiesman statue with "16" on it, because I was such a big fan. My last memory was the summer after my freshman year (he had just graduated), when I went to the M Den on State and got my freshman year pregame shoes signed by Denard and Jordan Kovacs. Already I was 19 and it felt a lot different from when I would get signatures as a kid, but I felt that at the very least I owed it to my younger self to get that dude's signature. He was, and always will be, my favorite wolverine.

|On the swing pass, I thought
On the swing pass, I thought live that was on Drake Johnson. If my memory serves, it was not close to Rudock's first read, and he let go of the ball very quickly, throwing it to where Johnson should have been. I'd imagine that's what he was coached to do on those passes. Drake on the other hand saw nothing but green field ahead of him and started jogging forward, abandoning his route. Thus the ball thrown behind him.
My $.02 anyway. I have yet to see it on film.

I think the RBs vision on zone runs would have looked a lot better yesterday if we had been practicing zone all camp. Instead, we've been trying to become a man team, so not a lot of coaching time has been devoted to zone. On man runs the problem was never vision, but lack of push. On zone runs, it was the opposite.

At one point (end of the first half?) he said Michigan should "just let Utah get the first down", as if it wouldn't matter that we would let them into field goal position with a new set of downs at the end of the half. He definitely said some stupid stuff mixed in with the insight.

|It's always a good feeling
It's always a good feeling when Brian echoes my sentiments exactly after a game, makes me think I'm finally getting the hang of this smart football thing hah.
It hurt to see us try to run power over and over again with no push, only to switch back to inside zone late with some success (success mitigated by Smith's poor vision) - it was eerily 2014. On the 3rd and 3 where they ran off tackle to the left, I'd actually give Kalis a pass. It looked like that run was drawn up to go outside the tackle (where there was a hole - I thought Utah overplayed between the tackles on that play), but Smith just decided to pound it into the line as usual. I wouldn't mind giving Isaac extended time in the next few games. Assuming he has better vision, that is. He's still a decently powerful runner, and is a threat to catch out of the back field, as well as take runs to the house.
Also, while I liked the announcing crew, FS1 never really bothered with replays, which made things very hard to judge live.

Defense looked good as expected, though I would love to see some real turnovers. Peppers looked like a beast and it's only a matter of time until he makes a highlight play. WRs were a pleasant surprise.
And hey, how about this: I still trust our coaches to turn this into a good team. I was able to watch that game without a constant sense of dread, which is a welcome change. I even remained happy after the game! That's just me practicing a more healthy way to be a fan, after the last few years nearly drove me to a psychotic break.

We'll see in the UFR, but that play looked like it was meant to go outside the tackle (which was a wide open running lane, with two pulling blockers) and Smith just punched it up into a wall instead of following Kalis. Either that, or Kalis missed his read, but given how well the play looked like it could have worked if not for Smith messing up a read, I'm inclined to blame him.

Chris Young Discusses Health Scare - Stacy McCloud
Updated: Thursday, October 17 2013, 02:18 PM CDT
Stream Fox 17 newscasts LIVE starting with TN Mornings at 5 am and News at 9 pm.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Chris Young has no problem joking about his recent health scare. "I missed timed my album. I should have been sick later, that way we could say, we don't know if he's gonna make it, so this may be his last record, go buy it."
He may be laughing now, but two weeks ago no one was laughing when Chris was rushed to the emergency room. "I was fine leaving Nashville and when I landed in Denver I was so sick that they had to put me in an ambulance and I went straight to ICU."
Chris had a small cut on his leg, to be specific an ingrown hair. He didn't think a thing about it and certainly never thought the two were related. "Everything happened so quick. From being fine to being concerned about I have time to think about it."
Turns out that small cut somehow developed into a bacterial infection resulting in Septic Shock. "My blood pressure was dropping fast, so they had me on 3 blood pressure medicines, one being the strongest out there."
Chris was rushed into emergency surgery hours later. "They said the surgery couldn't wait because they were concerned about organ failure. That is never anything you wanna hear when in hospital."
Chris spent a few days recovering in the hospital. He had to cancel some shows, but was back at it quickly and grateful for the jabs from his tour mates! "We are on tour with Brad Paisley and as soon as he heard I was okay, Brad said, it is great to hear your operation for the face lift went so well."
Thankfully there are no long term affects from the infection or surgery, making Chris more eager than ever to be back on stage. "Thinks like that make you think about how lucky you are to be healthy."
Chris is busy promoting his new album, which is available September 17th.

Ramona's Group
Her home, along with her previous business, a general store in her home, was swept away when a river flooded near her house last year, taking four other houses with it. As a result, her two oldest children had to stop going school to meet their basic needs. She is starting over now by opening up a similar store from her home, selling general care products and basic medicines.
Gregoria plans to invest in such products as hair-smoothing cream, deodorants, shampoos, medicines, and sandals, which she buys in bulk and says are the products in highest demand. The home she is living in now, Gregoria says, is located in a very strategic business location relative to her town. At the end of this loan, she hopes her store will be firmly reestablished, providing her once more with a steady source of income. With this steady income, she hopes to start saving for her daughter's education, and to be able to pay for her sons' schooling and for the baseball coaching and cleats for her youngest son. She also plans to continue working on finishing her current home, as she has placed 800 out of 1,300 cinder blocks for it so far. Since her business is run from her home, having it completed would allow her business to expand.
Some of her long-term goals are to be able to pay for her daughter's law school education, and also to be able to continue to encourage and support her youngest son, as they hope he makes it to the big leagues.

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

JONESBORO — A controversial proposal to charge Jonesboro residents a fee to keep the city clean has stalled for now.
The city council postponed the issue indefinitely Monday so it could studied in more depth. Had it passed, residents would have been assessed $180 on their tax bills each year to help pay for street sweeping, tree and limb removal and garbage pick-up regardless of whether they took advantage of all of those services.
"I would say let's educate, through our newsletter, to encourage people to support our city, so I would make a motion that we just continue to study this," said Councilman Wallace Norrington.
It remains to be seen whether the city can come up with a solution to the issue. Last week, Mayor Joy Day said the garbage service wasn't earning enough in revenues to pay for its short-term and long-term personnel and capital expenses.
She said it cost $111,176 to provide the service this year. At a monthly rate of $15 per customer, it earns back about $108,000, she added.
If the one-time annual fee was implemented, there would be no difference for residents who already make quarterly payments to use the garbage service.
"This would take the place of the $45 quarterly garbage fee," Wiggins said.
Wiggins told his colleagues that he feels the fee should be assessed in quarterly increments, rather than in one lump sum.
But, only 600 residents take advantage of the service. Day said county estimates put Jonesboro's population at 2,129 residents, although there were 4,724 people who claimed the city as their address in 2010, according to U.S. census data.
Some residents have previously suggested separate fees, depending on whether a person uses the garbage service. Others have pointed out the fee would pay for city-wide services, such as street sweeping and public park clean-up services.
But garbage service continues to be at the center of the debate regardless of how proponents try to portray the need.
Councilmen Clarence Mann and Joe Compton said they disagreed with the idea of city officials telling residents to pay for a service regardless of whether they wanted it.
"I don't think it's necessary for us to tell each and every person in this city that they must do something," Mann said.
Compton said some residents may not need garbage service at their home. He said some residents who own businesses in the city may choose to dump their personal garbage at the dumpsters they rent for their work space. He also compared it to new federal requirements for health care coverage.
"I have a hard time forcing somebody to buy a product, and that's pretty much what we're doing," said Compton. "It reminds me of the Obamacare law. You're going to buy health insurance whether you want it or not. I look at that as the same thing we're doing by telling someone, 'You're going to buy garbage service from the city of Jonesboro.'
"That just gets all over me and I'm not going to do that," he continued.

B&B Helmers
Welcome to Amsterdam...
Welcome to Amsterdam...
Our philosophy is to provide our guests with the same high level of comfort & service we expect during our own travels. You will see this reflected in the decoration of the rooms, the quality of the breakfast & the personal service we provide. Our recently renovated bed & breakfast will offer our guests charming rooms, with hardwood floors, private luxury bathroom and kitchenette filled with delicacies to prepare your own breakfast at your own time.
As your hosts we look forward to giving you our 'insider tips' on sights, activities and restaurants so you can experience the city as a local. Check out our services on how we can help you make the most of your stay.
After extensive renovations, our rooms offer our guests even more luxury and privacy than before. Each room has been upgraded and revamped offering our guests private bathrooms and kitchenettes filled with all the delicacies you may need to prepare a perfect breakfast. Every morning we provide fresh bread to your door.
Our service and hospitality will remain at the same level so appreciated by the many travellers who have visited us over the past few years.
Bed and Breakfast Helmers is a family friendly B&B in one of the most popular areas of Amsterdam called "Oud West." The B&B is in walking distance of the most interesting sights in Amsterdam, such as the Museum District, the Canals, Leidse Square & the Vondelpark. As your hosts we look forward to provide you with a unique experience where comfort & luxury is complemented with personal attention & service.
We have built the reputation of offering our guests 'the best breakfast in town'! Although guests now will have the use of their own kitchenette we will maintain the high quality but allow our guests to prepare breakfast at their own leisure.
We will have a fully stocked kitchenette available for you upon arrival so you can prepare breakfast at you own leisure. The kitchenette will include everything you may need for the duration of your stay (maximum of three days, thereafter it will be restocked).
On a sunny day breakfast can also be enjoyed on our roof terrace which has stunning views over the city.
