Architects, designers, and entrepreneurs who believe in the potential of modular housing to transform the home building industry continue to work on developing a viable model that's affordable and good-looking, and now the latest iteration has arrived: ASUL Adaptable System for Universal Living.
A Phoenix-based startup recently unveiled its ASUL modular housing system with the promise that homes will start at $100 per square foot. "It's actually not a line of pre-designed homes," says Tim Russell, founder and CEO of the company. "Instead, it's a system allowing one to custom-design homes at a more affordable price point. In essence, it's an entirely new paradigm in designing and constructing a home. As far as we know, it's the first system of its kind."
According to Russell, American consumers and design industry professionals are ready for a straightforward, modern prefab concept whose pricing is immediate and transparent. ASUL hits all these notes, he says. Created by a team of architects, engineers, contractors, and investors, ASUL allows clients (consumers, architects, builders, and interior designers) to participate in the designing and building process of the home, Russell explains. Each home is custom-designed via a collaborative design process between the client and ASUL architects, which means the final plan responds to the site and the region where the home is to be located.
"We believe the market wants customization, affordability, and predictability from a modern, prefab company," Russell says. "Most companies offer static designs that are really expensive and built in a factory, which is hard for the stakeholders to accept."
Russell is not a fan of factory-built homes, however, which is why the company developed ASUL as a site-built system incorporating a kit of parts and an assembly technique that creates efficiencies and reduces the amount of on-site construction labor required to build a home.
The system is based on 30 different modules or rooms: 10 module sizes (12x12, 12x16, 12x20, etc.) each with three different ceiling heights: 8 feet, 10 feet, or 12 feet. Components are shipped from the closest provider based on ASUL specifications, placed on the site, and the company's team assembles the pieces to build the house.
Homes can be as small as clients want them—a pool house, for example—or as large. Each features a welded steel frame that absorbs the entire structural load of the house, but also eliminates the need for any interior or exterior walls and permits window location anywhere on the floor plan.
Features, of course, are a matter of personal tastes, but the typical ASUL home comes tricked out with a pretty decent collection of standard materials and products. The list includes "medium-grade finishes" such as Ikea cabinetry, Bosch appliances, cork floor (or equivalent), Milgard windows, and Hansgrohe fixtures. "The client can upgrade or downgrade these finishes based on their desires and budget," Russell says.
So how can ASUL offer a per-square-foot cost of $100 or even $25? "We have three construction options depending on the type of client we have," Russell explains.
There is the You Build option, which is designed for developers, contractors, and owners who prefer to have their own contractor construct their ASUL home. In this case, ASUL provides design services and the materials necessary for the exterior shell of the home, and its assembly team is available for off-site consultation. Prices begin at $25 per foot.
Under the Both Build scenario, ASUL's crew will construct the exterior shell of the home while the home buyer manages the interior finishes. In addition to providing the design services, ASUL will act as a subcontractor. Prices begin at $50 per square foot.
For the ASUL Build deal, the company acts as the general contractor for the entire project from beginning to end. Pricing begins at $100 per square foot.
"We are able to hit these prices because we have created and engineered a system," the company says. "The byproduct of any system is more affordability and predictability. An Adaptable System allows customization: Those are the three variables missing from every other pre-fab company and what we believe the market has been told was the promise of pre-fab."
The young Arizona firm says it has hit a nerve with the design community and with consumers. Despite launching just two months ago, it now has three completed homes, two under contract, and five being given "very strong" consideration.

By Andrea Brown Herald Writer
The place was the eyesore of the historic neighborhood.
The yard was an overgrown jumble. The house was in shambles.
It was a shack compared to the sprawling suburban home that Ardie and Gary McLean had built as their dream home, what they thought was their forever home.
When the economic downturn in 2009 forced them to downsize, the couple looked forward, not back. They transformed the sorry little shack into a showplace.
"We literally restored it from the inside out," Ardie McLean said.
Behind the white picket fence that Gary McLean built is one of eight gardens featured on the Snohomish Garden Club Tour on Sunday.
The garden tour features a mix of urban and spacious rural gardens.
"It has a bit of both, so everybody will have some type of garden they can take ideas from," said Fred Rowe, tour spokesman.
The McLean garden has a small but mighty footprint.
"We kind of have an Asian thing going on," Ardie McLean said.
For the event she made origami butterflies to give to visitors, who can also tour part of the home after strolling through the narrow side-yard garden.
The garden design was inspired by a ginkgo tree planted in 1947.
"The ginkgo was planted shortly after the war ended. One of the sons in the war didn't come back. It was planted in his memory," Ardie McLean said.
"The ginkgo is a symbol of peace. It is one of oldest living species of trees on Earth."
The ginkgo tree is a male, so it doesn't produce the fruitlike seed with the horrid smell.
"When it gets to a certain cold degree, all the leaves start falling at once," she said. "It's like rain. All the leaves come down in one swoop of bright gold."
The side fence Gary McLean built offers a wall of sorts to decorate. A potting shed he constructed from attic planks holds all the needful things.
The garden is manicured to the hilt.
"My kids tease us. 'They go, 'Oh, there's a weed,'" Ardie Mclean said. "We mulch religiously."
The rear yard is a "young yard" in terms of new plantings and of the targeted audience.
"We wanted a little area with grass for the grandkids," she said. "We wanted an area where they could have a little swimming pool or sprinklers."
The garden is the couple's retreat from all the noise of work. He's an agent with Windermere Real Estate/East in Kirkland. She is the coronary unit coordinator at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett.
"I listen to monitors on my shift," she said. "The garden is my oasis and therapy to get away from the beepings. I come out and listen to birds.
"I like to listen to the parachuters. Harvey Field is right over there. They jump and go 'Wahoo.'"
The name on plaque on the front of the house is Goff, not McLean. In keeping with Snohomish tradition, a home on the historic register is named after a previous occupant. Lydia Goff had the place for 50 years.
"She was one of the first people who had a telephone. Old-timers remember coming in to use her phone," Ardie McLean said.
Lydia Goff was also a piano teacher. "The old-timers remember coming in and taking piano lessons from Mrs. Goff," she said.
Mrs. McLean felt a connection to Goff.
"I play the piano and it had room for my baby grand piano. Not many houses like this do."
Music. Birds. Gold trees.
Long story short: The place turned out to be the couple's true dream home.

Did you install the nvidia drivers available from the wiki ?
This may not be the right section, but I can't seem to be able to post in the BT3 section so I'll post here. I've installed BT3 to my USB stick and when booting up I choose KDE (I've tried flux too however), and after everything's printed and it's all ready, the screen flickers and I hear the startup sound however the screen just goes black with colours dotted around.
It's not too easy to explain however I think you'll understand what I mean.
I've had problems like this with BT2 too, I'm using GeForce 7200GS card and LG 37LF65 TV (through RGB/VGA not DVI). Any ideas?
Did you install the nvidia drivers available from the wiki ?

BackTrack 5 Released, very very lovely Thanks to devs.
I'm confused, no really! I can't help it.
I'm talking about how to use BackTrack 5.
Hope this thread won't be closed in 10 mins.
So... Mainly I'm using BT for Wi-Fi pentesting.
I have one netbook Intel ATOM,
2 PCs, one is dual core and second is old one Pentium 4.
None of these comps have BackTrack installed.
I want to install it, and I can't decide how to use it.
It's all about experience and comfortable use.
Mainly I use BT for Wi-Fi things =) wardriving around with netbook then coming home and cracking keys with my desktop computer.
Right now I have:
Netbook - Windows XP
Main Desktop PC - Windows 7 64 Bit ( CUDA Support )
Old PC - Windows XP ( he's useless, I'm not using him, made him DVD-Player Replacer )
1st I want Install BT5 Dual boot on netbook.
Netbook - Windows XP / BT 5
I definetly need powerful PC to bruteforce keys. Not gonna use netbook for it.
For example I got handshake, I'm coming home and copy it on main PC to crack it.
There's problem, should I use aircrack-ng windows binary or should I install BackTrack on main PC, or should I use BT over VWWare.
1. Using windows binaries or Cygwin, I heard that aircrack-ng-cuda on windows is unstable n crashes all the time. Shortly CMD.exe
2. Dual-boot is most likely not comfortable, I want my main PC power on all the time for music etc. I don't want to reboot machine every time I want brutforce something.
3. Is VMWare is most comfortable for me.Becouse I have 2 monitors, I can easy fullscreen VMWare window and put it on second screen, but its' emulation right ? Can I make CUDA Support on Virtual Machine ? How much performance I loose like this ?
4. I can make old PC somehow usefull, install BT5 connect it to second screen and use 2 comps at the same time. But it's only 1 core =(
How do YOU use your BackTrack 5. Tell me about your experience.
Advice me guys. Please)
P.S: Sry for gramma.

Japanese officials insist no decision has been made to cut short the country's Southern Ocean whaling season after a dramatic clash with Sea Shepherd vessels.
Japan's whaling fleet was forced to abandon a refuelling operation on Wednesday after a series of collisions with the conservation activist group's boats.
Sea Shepherd captain Paul Watson said whaling had been suspended and he didn't expect the remaining 18 days of the season would see any hunting.
But Japan's Consul-General in Melbourne, Hidenobu Sobashima, said that comment was wide of the mark.
"That is not correct," Mr Sobashima said.
"We have temporarily suspended refuelling activities but not more and not less than that."
Asked if the season would continue, Mr Sobashima said: "I'm not in a position to explain the detail of the movements of the whaling fleet."
News agency AFP also quoted a Japanese Fisheries Agency official in Tokyo saying the whaling program would continue.
Japan's Institute for Cetacean Research (ICR), which co-ordinates the annual hunt, was yet to comment.
Mr Sobashima said Japan had protested to the embassies of Australia and The Netherlands in Tokyo, but would not respond to federal environment minister Tony Burke's comment that whaling was in "flagrant violation" of international law.
"However, I'd like to say that what is being done is lawful in accordance particularly with article eight of the international convention for the regulation of research whaling," he said.
Sea Shepherd said its three vessels in the area - the Steve Irwin, Bob Barker and Sam Simon - were rammed by the Nisshin Maru, but Mr Sobashima laid the blame with the conservation group.
"It's the Sea Shepherd who are endangering the life and property of the crew and the safe navigation of the sea and therefore the Sea Shepherd activities are illegal and impermissible," he said.
"It's the Sea Shepherd vessels who approached the Japanese vessel and collided."
Captain Watson rejected that version of events.
"Their argument is that we hit their fist with our face," he said.
"It was more like a case of road rage."
Mr Sobashima said Sea Shepherd's claim the Japanese fleet had been illegally refuelling was false.
As the Greens repeated their call for an Australian naval ship to be sent to patrol the area, Prime Minister Julia Gillard continued to rule it out, saying it would put Australian personnel at risk.
"When did we become the nation that apparently has got the capacity to police every ocean in the world?" she told reporters in Adelaide.
Sea Shepherd estimates only 12 whales have been caught so far this season, while Mr Sobashima said figures were not available.
The Consul-General said he was confident Australia's case at the International Court of Justice to ban the annual hunt would not succeed.
"We believe that what we are doing is lawful, therefore the International Court of Justice would favour the Japanese position," he said.
Japan claims it conducts scientific research that is lawful under an International Whaling Commission Ban, and is continuing a cultural tradition.

UPSETS KEEP COMINGNorth Carolina State 28, #16 Florida State 24: Wolfpack quarterback Russell Wilson tossed a short touchdown pass with 2:44 left and then the Seminoles had a chance to win it, but fumbled inside the 10-yard line in the final minute.
Virginia 24, #22 Miami (FL) 19: Three different Hurricanes throw five interceptions and the Hurricanes get upset by Virginia, which picks up its first ACC victory.
BEST OFFENSES#2 Oregon 53, USC 32: The Ducks, who came in averaging 55.1 points per game, trail in the third-quarter, but national rushing leader LaMichael James (239 yards, 3 TDs) leads them to 24 consecutive points.
#3 Boise State 49, Louisiana Tech 20: Boise State is proving to be a nightmare every week for opponents; in a Tuesday game this week, the Broncos piled up 468 yards of offense in yet another blowout.
#17 Oklahoma State 24, Kansas State 14: The Cowboys came in averaging 48.3 points per game, but with star receiver Justin Blackmon suspended, they have to turn to defense in picking up a key Big 12 victory.

Sugar Bowl Bowl Projections
(BCS Rankings)#6 Alabama at #10 LSU: Another huge game in the SEC West between top 10 squads. Both teams have one loss and likely need to avoid a second loss to keep in the hunt for a BCS bid.
#18 Arkansas at #19 South Carolina: Arkansas' potent passing attack goes head-to-head with a hard-nosed run game for the Gamecocks in the SEC's second marquee game of the week between ranked opponents.
#3 TCU at #5 Utah: A battle of unbeatens in the Mountain West as the winner of this moves into excellent position for a possible BCS Bowl bid.
#15 Arizona at #13 Stanford: With Oregon looking so dominant, this might be the battle for second-place in the Pac-10, but the reward for that could be a Rose Bowl bid if Oregon goes to the Championship game.
#21 Baylor at #18 Oklahoma State: Two dynamic Big 12 offenses meet in Stillwater; the surprising Bears are not satisfied with just being bowl-eligible, they are looking to make a run at the Big 12 Championship.
#8 Oklahoma at Texas A&M: A&M is the disappointment of the Big 12 this year while the Sooners are hoping to solidify their hold on the top slot in the Big 12 South.
Washington at #1 Oregon: The top-ranked Ducks bring the most potent offense in the country while inconsistent Washington hopes highly-touted QB Jake Locker has an NFL-caliber performance.
Hawaii at #4 Boise State: A major game in the WAC; many haven't thought of Hawaii as a potent foe, but the Warriors have won six straight behind standout quarterback Bryant Moniz.
Georgia Tech at #22 Virginia Tech (Thu.): Virginia Tech has heated up with six straight wins to become the top-ranked ACC team, while Georgia Tech has been somewhat disappointing after winning the league last year.
From the players currently on the Watch List for the Manning Award, here are some of the standout stars from week nine:
Landry Jones, Oklahoma(32-of-46, 453 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)Jones posts the second most passing yards in Sooners' history as Oklahoma crushes Colorado, 43-10.Ryan Mallett, Arkansas(27-of-44, 409 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Mallett sets a school record for passing yards (breaking his own mark from last year) by connecting with eight different receivers in a 49-14 blowout of Vanderbilt.Kyle Padron, SMU(18-of-32, 354 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT)Trailing 17-3 late in the third quarter against Tulane, Padron leads the Mustangs to four unanswered touchdowns as they post a 31-17 victory.Denard Robinson, Michigan State(11-of-23, 190 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT)Robinson continues his dynamic season, adding 191 yards and three scores on the ground, but it's not enough for the Wolverines, who fall 41-31 to Penn State.Ricky Stanzi, Iowa(11-of-15, 190 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT)Stanzi has a near-flawless performance in directing the Hawkeyes to a convincing 37-6 upset of sixth-ranked Michigan State.
While the final additions have been made to the Manning Award Watch, all quarterbacks remain eligible to win the award. Here's a look at this week's top performances from quarterbacks who are not on the Watch List:Matt Christian, New Mexico State(23-of-44, 259 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT)Christian, who also rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown, throws the game-winning TD pass with five seconds to go in a 29-27 win over San Jose State.Terrence Owens, Toledo(10-of-15, 234 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)Owens is very efficient, tossing four TDs with only 15 attempts as the Rockets cruise to a 42-7 victory over Eastern Michigan.David Piland, Houston(20-of-23, 292 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT)The freshman has a near-perfect day as he leads Conference USA's highest-scoring offense to a 56-17 thumping of Memphis.Nathan Scheelhaase, Illinois(16-of-20, 195 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT)Scheelhaase, just a freshman, has a big game passing and also rushes for 118 yards to leads the Illini to a 44-10 win over Purdue.Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M(36-of-50, 449 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT)Making his first career start, Tannehill sets the Texas A&M record for passing yards in a 45-27 victory over Texas Tech.

If you want in you'll have to build your own using an Arduino Pro Mini micro-controller board, a normal pair of suspenders, an XeBee wireless radio and a 3.6 volt battery. It might not improve your wardrobe, but they'll certainly improve your posture.

The video presentation above shows you some unique and rare tips on how to treat hyperhidrosis and achieve freedom from excessive sweating in as little as 48 hours! This is based on the latest scientific research on how to stop the actual CAUSE of excessive sweating. *This is the same technique I have taught over 138,000 men and women in 157 countries to successfully treat their excessive sweating condition over the past 7 years!
Important note: I can't leave this video up for long, so be sure to watch it from beginning to end while it's still here. Remember: Watch the whole video, as the ending will pleasantly surprise you…

"Dear Miles, This is truly remarkable. It's been 7 days since I completed the basic Sweat Miracle program and my hyperhidrosis is gone without a trace. I had a feeling that your program was the real thing when I first emailed you and got a reply within an hour, but I just could not believe I would be sweat free in 1 week! Prior to your program, I bought hundreds of different antiperspirants, when I accidentally saw your site. I gave your system a try and within a week all my family and friends noticed a huge change. Two months later, and without spending obscene amounts on all sorts of medications and over the counters, all of the awful sweating sessions I once experienced were gone. Completely!!! God bless you!"Brandon Guarino - South Yara, Australia
Dear Miles, What a relief! I haven't been sweating as much as I did for more than 3 months now. I have thrown all my antiperspirants straight into the trash. Who would have thought it was so simple to eliminate excessive sweating, all without prescription medications... For 2 years, I tried to treat my condition using over the counter products, and my face and back would just break out in unbearable sweat over and over. It took some effort and persistence (your counseling service is priceless, by the way), but I finally can admit that I have managed to overcome this affliction for good. I never thought I would ever stop sweating so much after physical activity, but I have! Thank you for making a difference!"George Dito - Washington D.C., U.S.A.
"Hi Miles, When I first emailed you and asked about the program, I thought, "Yeah, but not for me." I struggled with excessive sweating for 9 years and tried everything my doctor told me. My hyperhidrosis was so bad at times that I wouldn't go near crowded places, let alone sit in restaurants or go to the cinema or theater. After careful consideration, I went back to your website and purchased the book for myself. What a smart move that was! I still swear by your book. Within 3 weeks, when I saw my doctor for a general appointment, my hyperhidrosis condition was completely under control! After years of suffering, I am finally sweating like normal people do. Today, I feel so clean and in control and I allow myself to go wherever I want and meet whoever I want without restraints. Your book was a godsend for me!"Charles Yeats - Alabama, U.S.A.
"Hi Miles, I wanted to drop you a quick message to express my deepest appreciation for what you have done for me. I have been following most of your suggestions and the results amaze me every time I am in a situation where I used to sweat like there's no tomorrow. It's been 4 months since I first ordered your system and it seems that no matter what I do or what emotional state I'm in, sweating is not a problem anymore. I feel so relaxed and secure knowing I will never suffer from excessive sweating ever again... You have created a very informative resource. I'm impressed and I am sure I'll go back to it for reference."Michael Owen - Ireland
"Hello Miles, Since my early 20's, I was plagued with severe hyperhidrosis. For almost 14 years I suffered from frequent and severe sweating occasions. Like many other hyperhidrosis sufferers, I assumed that hyperhidrosis was a temporary thing so it was obviously very frustrating when my hyperhidrosis only worsened with age--despite my determination to get rid of the problem, my constant trips to the doctor and pharmacies, and thousands of dollars spent on hygiene products. After reading your "Sweat Miracle" book, I immediately felt confident and empowered to solve the problem. Suddenly there was a clear, well-structured plan to follow that seemed so logical and promising as opposed to sitting back and passively accepting my fate. Even though Sweat Miracle is not a quick fix cure by any means, I have seen fantastic results in a very short time. I started your step-by-step program on mid June 2011. By the end of July 2011 my body produced almost no sweat regardless of the emotional of physical situation I was in. It felt like a miracle! 4 weeks into your plan and I am Hyperhidrosis free. Unbelievable! I'd recommend the book to any man or woman afflicted with hyperhidrosis."Tanya Shearer - Auckland, New Zealand
"Dear Miles, You really should publish a hard cover for this program as it had helped me overcome a major sweating problem when nothing else worked. I first found out about your program through an online community, and I was curious to know, being the bitter skeptic that I am, what your program could offer that I hadn't yet tried. I've tried every product and prescription, available online and offline, including special deodorants and all natural antiperspirants, and yours was the only plan that actually worked! I'm 32 and finally Hyperhidrosis free. Your system has had such a remarkable impact on my life, and I really can't thank you enough." Thank you also for your tremendous help and support."Lorna Vuong - (British Columbia, Canada)
"Hey Miles, Last time we chatted through Skype, I told you that my sweating seems to be decreasing gradually. Well, it's been several months since I discovered your system, and it seems that I'm free from any signs of hyperhidrosis! Your program is wonderful, truly wonderful! I have been on the Sweat Miracle for about 8 weeks now and stopped sweating, at last! No more sweat patches for me... furthermore, I get complimented on my facial skin all the time and I finally feel great about myself. I truly recommend this invaluable program to anyone who suffers from hyperhidrosis, at any age. Worth every penny. Thank you so much."Karen Hallett - U.K.
"Hey Miles, Your program is magnificent! It works long-term, unlike everything else I've tried. I was truly inspired by your words and your personal story moved me. I followed your plan, including mailing you three times a day (you are one of the most sensitive and caring person I met), and I'm practically hyperhidrosis free and it's only the second month of the basic plan... Miles, you are a real lifesaver! Thanks you so much for this invaluable life changing resource."Coreena Boadu - Canada

'Tis the season to celebrate two wheels! May is National Bike Month, and there was no better way to kick it off than with the The Bike New York event this past weekend, supported by sponsor and dear friends of ours, Eastern Mountain Sports and the NYC Department of Transportation.
New York commuters and individuals from around the world came to Pier 36 to check out the latest trends and to prep themselves with gear for their ride in the 35th Annual Five Boro Bike Tour in which the cyclists overrun the streets of New York and visit the cities that make up the surrounding areas of the Big Apple. Over 30,000 riders participated in the Sunday ride!
Take a minute to check out some photos and highlights from the trip above.
**We would like to highlight the third picture on the right, this here is Randy. Randy had never heard of Osprey and as a native of New York. Randy spends all her time commuting on her bike, getting from point A to point B throughout the city. Randy had a pack with little support for her back and the necessary things she carried on her commute. Randy told our sales rep, George (in photo) "if you can fit all the things I carry, including the old pack, in this Momentum 34, I will buy it on the spot." Well, truth be told, George did so, and Randy was welcomed to the Osprey family with open arms!

Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn • My boyfriend of a year and a half and I are breaking up. Our fights have turned into WWIII, and he was tired of my being upset because I caught him lying to me a half-dozen times.
The kicker is that none of the lies were deal-breaker issues or worthy of the brawls they caused. He feels like the lies might keep a fight at bay, and I feel like lying over insignificant matters just adds fuel to my fire.
We have a great time outside of the fighting. We've been talking about dating more casually in hopes that a little space + no relationship title (equal sign) less pressure and accountability to each other. We want to keep spending time together but without the commitment. Is this a terrible idea? I love him and I'd like to find a way to move forward with this man.
Lover Not a Fighter
Dear Lover • If you're going to hang on, then try this: He practices radical honesty, and you practice radical laid-backness in the face of such truth.
I actually think fear of telling the truth, to the point of lying to smooth things over, is one of the more deal-breakery of deal-breakers. But, again, you seem to want this, so by all means try easing the pressure to stay together and emphasizing honesty.
If you promise him and deliver a golden zone of safety to say whatever he really thinks without risk that you'll lose your cool, and if he doesn't actually stop lying, then he's not going to do the growing up necessary to make him a good partner.
It'll be good for you, too, to see if you can learn to respond calmly to bad news, instead of just fighting. If you think about it, there's no fight to have here. There's just truth, which you deal with accordingly, or lies, which you break up with decisively. Fighting is just a way to try to rewrite what's happening into something more palatable for you. Time to grow out of that, too.

Post subject: Zone blocking scheme
I know the raiders along with other teams run it and that u need athletic and not necessarily gigantic lineman to use and it is effective for running the ball but how exactly does it work.

Post subject:
the thing is that a true ZBS is just that a scheme it goes beyond just the OL. the RBs also have a different job as a result.
here is something i wrote about 2 years ago:
It is a scheme used by offensive lineman to block opposing players. In this scheme the offensive lineman block an area of the field, or zone, as opposed to a particular man as seen in the Man Blocking Scheme (MBS). Now it is important to remember that all teams use a combination of both schemes but generally favor one or the other. The biggest advantage of the ZBS is its ability to block defenders on the move effectively battling Stunts, Slants, and Blitzes.
The ZBS requires a different type of player than the MBS. A lot of fans just think "Light" players when it comes to ZBS but thats not the case. The ZBS is when two or three offensive linemen work in tandem as opposed to each offensive lineman having a specific, predetermined man to block. They work in a "ZONE." the key is for two linemen to come off in unison and attack a single DL player to the play side. Then as the play progresses one of them leaves and moves to the second level to block a LB. The key is for the lineman to have chemistry so they can decide who and when one of them will leave to block the linebacker. By doing this it will create a "crease" for the RB to cut back into.
Now the linemen must do 4 key things for this to work:
1. They MUST stay hip to hip with each other. This is difficult to do without tripping over each other without repetitions working together.
2. They also need to keep their shoulders square to the line.
3. Most importantly, they both have to keep their eyes are on the linebacker, knowing where he is at all times.
4. Finally they must communicate with each other and know who is going to take over the DL and who is going to move to the 2nd level.
The main 2 zone blocking plays are the inside zone and the outside zone, also called the stretch play. On the Outside Zone the play calls for the DE to be double teamed by the G and the T and they decide who breaks off and blocks the LB. This usually depends on the DE. If he tries to edge rush then the G moves to the 2nd level, if he spins inside then the OT moves to block the LB. On the inside zone the play calls for the DT to be double teamed (especially prevalent in cases of going against a 3-4) and the C and the G who have to make the double team and the subsequent decision to move on to the second level.
Now for the individual linemen there are 2 basic techniques for the linemen when running a ZBS, Zone Block Right and Zone Block Left. As the names indicate Zone Block Right is for plays, and the double team, to be run to the right of the Center and Zone Block Left for plays, and the double team, to be run to the left of the Center.
So when you put this together the plays are run Inside Left and Inside Right, or Outside Left and Outside Right.
As for the actual footwork there are four basic steps depending on what side of the play youre on and where your zone is.
The Drive Block is your basic fire straight out and try to drive the man in front of you back. This is used if you are on the front side of the play (the play is on your side, such as a LT or LG on a Zone Block Left) and your zone is directly in front of you.
The Turn Step is where you take your play side foot and step about six inches at a 45-degree angle away from your body and to the play side. The second step is a long forward step with your backside foot putting you at an angle to the play. This is used if you are on the front side of the play and your zone is not directly in front of you. Generally this is used by the second man on the double team.
The Scoop step is where the blocker takes a short step laterally away from the play to block the back side blocker. This is used if you are on the back side of the play and the zone is not directly in front of you. This is generally where the Cut block is used, to cut off backside pursuit.
The Bucket Step is a short backwards step to the outside where the foot lands at a 45 degree angle to the outside putting an O-Lineman on a 45 Degree track up field. It is basically a backwards turn step. This is used if you are on the back side of the play and the zone is directly in front of you. Unlike the Scoop Step these players generally dont use the cut block but continues on his angle looking to block the player who shows on the next level, in the event that the defender beats him to the inside.
The RBs are a bit different as well. in the ZBS the backs are basically told to run left/right-inside/outside they look for the first crease to form and cut back to it. the reason they cant say go to a specific hole is because they dont know which lineman is going to break away until the play is underway, but are taught to look for the lineman who moves onto the next level and follow them.
In reality the running back really has 3 jobs.
#1) runs the play thats called. its sounds stupid but really its the hardest part about being a ZBS running back. You dont know where the hole will pop up so a lot of times the RB gets impatient and bounces the ball outside regardless of the play called or dives into the line at a random spot hoping a hole opens up. The back needs to have the confidence in the line that a hole will open.
#2) has the vision to see the hole. A lot of times a RB will run right past the hole because they dont see the lineman break away to the second level. This usually results in a loss of yards. The RB needs to understand the scheme and know where the Double team is going to be and watch for the lineman that breaks away.
#3) lastly the RB needs to have a quick cutback and hit the hole hard. As soon as he sees the lineman breakaway he needs to be right in his hip pocket because the D sees that happening as well and the hole wont be there for long.
When you base your opinions off of facts instead of searching for facts that support your opinions you will find yourself often the contrarian but rarely the fool.

ANSONIA -- Emmett O'Brien Technical High School Principal Laurie LeBouthillier Wednesday told 130 graduates garbed in green and gold gowns to dare to dream and "change the world."
The gym was packed with family and friends cheering the class of 2012.
Dr. David L. Katz, director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Center at Griffin Hospital in Derby and a renowned authority on nutrition and weight control, was keynote speaker.
He recited "If," an inspirational poem by British author Rudyard Kipling. Katz said he was giving "unusual advice," which was to "be selfish and make sure your self is a good self."
Special guest was Jim Morris, a former Oakland Raider and coach at the University of Mississippi.
He said as a teen he joined the Junior ROTC instead of a gang, and left his neighborhood in the south side of Chicago to attend a better high school.
After graduating from Missouri Valley College, Morris was drafted by the Oakland football team.
He said, "Every day for the rest of your life you have to make choices." He said each day everyone has the same 86,400 seconds, and if they aren't used properly, they're lost forever.
Valedictorian Thomas Buckles of Ansonia and salutatorian Frank Corso of Derby both graduated from the electrical shop. They each received four-year scholarships to the University of Connecticut.
Buckles said, "We need to look at times of difficulty as not just hard work, but also opportunity. It is for that reason that we need to run full speed into our challenges and take whatever we can pull out of them.
"Successful people are those who take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself to them," Buckles said. "And the thing is, each and every one of us at Emmett O'Brien has already shown signs of this trait.
Corso posed a rhetorical question: "What is necessary for the class of 2012 to continue to be successful as we begin our journey into the future?
"As Dr. Seuss once said, 'Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.' I believe the simple answer to this complicated question is we require three key ingredients: responsibility, drive and pride.
"As young adults we should no longer rely on our parents to bail us out of situations we have gotten into by procrastination or not wanting to do the work. From here on in, the responsibility for our future success now rests on our shoulders.
"Everyone's drive may come from different places; for some it may be to satisfy someone else, for others it may be trying to get that raise, and for some it might just be being able to say you accomplished that challenge."
Corso said, "Where your pride originates is not important, having that sense of pride is. So if you take pride in yourself and whatever you do in your life, you will be better at it."
State Sen. Joseph J. Crisco, D-Woodbridge, said, "Amid the caps and gowns I see hope, I see dreams that one day will be realized."
Ansonia Mayor James Della Volpe told the graduates, "Work hard, do your best, enjoy the moment and always give back to the community."
Derby Mayor Anthony Staffieri said if they work hard and give 100 percent, they will always be successful.
Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti urged the class to, "Aim high, and be aware that life as you know it will change."
Graduate Zach Lexa of Ansonia said he felt happy. "I can get out now and spread my wings," he said.
Classmate Rae Pagan of Seymour said she was happy and sad at the same time. "I don't know what to feel. I'm going to be without all these people," she said.
Pagan will attend Naugatuck Valley Community College in the fall.

My first question is as follows: i will be doing a couple depositions in Tel Aviv. While i would normally just throw on a suit, i was curious to know what the formality level is there for lawyers when not in court. Am i going to be insulting anyone, if i show up in a suit? The next and more important question --- is there anything sartorial related that I should check out when there? Don't know what i am looking for -- I assume tailors there would be expensive? At least more so than Greece? Finally, when i am Athens -- where should i go. I have read that it is the height of the bargain season there. Any ideas as to where i should look? Also, anyone recommend any tailors for shirts, trousers, or suits? Any recommendations as to food, wine, and women would also be greatly appreciated.

The Japanese master Ekido was a severe teacher and his pupils feared him.One day, as one of his pupils was striking the time of day on the temple gong, he missed a beat because he was watching a beautiful girl who was passing the gates. Unknown to the pupil, Ekido was standing behind him. Ekido struck the pupil with his staff, and the shock stopped the heart of the pupil and he died.Because the old custom of the pupil signing his life over to the master had sunk to a mere formality, Ekido was discredited by the general public. But after this incident, Ekido produced ten enlightened successors, an unusually high number.
This type of phenomenon is special to Zen and to Zen masters. Only a Zen master beats his disciples, and sometimes it happens that the disciple dies through beating. Ordinarily this looks very cruel, violent, mad. Religious people cannot conceive how a master can be so cruel as to kill a disciple, but those who know feel differently.
A man who is enlightened knows well that nobody is ever killed. The inner is eternal, it goes on and on. It may change bodies but the change is only of houses, the change is only of dresses, the change is only of vehicles. The traveler goes on and on, nothing dies.
The moment of death can become the moment of enlightenment also, both are so similar. When someone becomes enlightened it is a death deeper than ordinary death; when someone becomes enlightened he comes to know that he is not the body. The attachment, the identification, disappears. For the first time he can see an unbridgeable gap. He is here, the body is there; there is an abyss between. He has never been the body and the body has never been him. This death is deeper than ordinary death; when you die ordinarily you are still identified with the body.
This death is still deeper. Not only are you unidentified with the body, your identification with the mind, with the ego, also disappears. You are left simply as an emptiness, as an inner space, boundless; you are neither the body nor the mind.
In ordinary death only the body dies; the mind goes on following you like a shadow. The mind is the problem, not the body. Through the mind you have become one with the body, and unless the mind disappears you will go on getting into newer bodies, into newer vehicles, and the wheel of life will go on and on. When you become enlightened, suddenly you are not the body, you are not the mind. Only then do you come to know who you are. The body is a seed, the mind is also a seed; hidden beyond them is you.
Sometimes it happens that a Zen master can coincide the moment of your death with your enlightenment. In the right moment he can hit you: the body falls down - everybody can see that - but deep within, the ego falls down also. Only you and the master know. It is not cruelty, it is the highest form of compassion, and only a very great master can do it. It is very subtle to feel the moment of your death, and to make it a point of inner transformation and transfiguration.

Best GF burger I've had to date! (Fries are NOT GF.) Nice place near route 91.
Wonderful restaurant with a separate gluten-free menu and family (kid-friendly) atmosphere!
10 Benning Street, Powerhouse Plaza, West Lebanon, NH 03784
GF menu. Good Burgers with GF buns. No fries do mashed or baked p. Instead. Nice staff and server. Said kitchen is careful on cross contamination. Recommend but be clear on GF needs.
30 Davis Straits, Route 28, Falmouth, MA 02540
no, no and no! asked explicitly if everything was GF. and now I feel sick
821 Fall River Avenue, Seekonk, MA 02771
They have a GF Menu here with alot of options. I had a burger with GF Bun unfortunately their french fries are not GF. So I had mashed potatoes as my side. Burger was a good size and GF hamburger bun was very good. They serve popcorn instead of bread - very tasty. Its not fine dining - but a good value and price point and our server (Richard) was very nice & service was very good!
281 Civic Center Drive, Augusta, ME 04330
This is hit or miss when it comes to the staff understanding and getting safe food. We have eaten here a few times but it's not in our top 10. Be cautious and ask lots of questions here if you are celiacs.
281 Civic Center Drive, Augusta, ME 04330
Impressed. Gluten free menu is on the main menu. Seemed knowledgeable. Gluten free buns available. Sides are also annotated on menu that are gluten free. In the area for work, I recommend this restaurant. I have celiac and very very sensitive.
55 Boston Providence Turnpike, Walpole, MA 02081
got some options but if you go there enough times, it feels like it's the same couple things you can have.
4 Fisher Street, Foxboro, MA 02035
Great food, good gf menu, decent price
5 Salem Turnpike, Norwich, CT 06360
The staff was helpful & took my concerns seriously. The manager came to my table & offered to take my order personally. They have a gluten sensitive menu but asked me good questions to cover my needs. I have Celiac's & felt very comfortable here.
54 Hazard Ave., Enfield, CT 06082
I got a gluten free all star burger and a Cesar Salad, it was delicious.
8675 Clinton Street, New Hartford, NY 13413
Delicious gluten free burger, but I got a little sick. Most likely from cross contamination issues in the kitchen.
8 Hotel Drive, Dover, NH 03820
Always get the burger when I come here! Love that they have a GF section on their regular menu! Never gotten sick, they really take GF seriously!
144 Lowell Street (Rte. 129), Wilmington, MA 01887
Not many options, but have a separate menu. Love their burgers
1094 Main Street (Rte. 18), Weymouth, MA 02188
For a chain, it's not a bad place to meet friends for a drink and know you can get a bite to eat. Salad, burger, and tips all on "gluten sensitive" menu. As a celiac I have had good experiences there.
14 Berry Avenue, West Yarmouth, MA 02673
Pretty good. Very nice and honest about gf options
11 Taft Corners Shopping Center, Williston, VT 05495
We eat at 99 on a regular basis. The service has always been excellent and if a server does not know the answer they will check with the manager or the kitchen.
275 Summer St, Fitchburg, MA 01420
Very limited selection. When I informed my waitress that I had celiac, she didn't know what that meant, so I explained that it meant I could not eat gluten and that my food could not contact gluten. She told me they could not accommodate this and the manager said the same thing. Neither even knew they had a gluten free section of the menu. I ended up ordering a salad and a baked potato as I was there with a large group and could not leave, and I've been sick all night.
11 East Central Street, Worcester, MA 01605
We've had several meals with our 3 young kids here. They have quite a few GF options. We are sensitive to CC and most of the time we felt fine afterwards, but once my son felt ill.
144 Lowell Street (Rte. 129), Wilmington, MA 01887
There may not be a ton of options but I have eaten here many times and have never been sick. They have pretty good gf buns too which can be hard to find.
1920 White Mountain Highway (Rte. 16), North Conway, NH 03813
Always good relatable food
8 Hotel Drive, Dover, NH 03820
Service and food was great. Very good place for someone with a gluten sensitivity
14 Berry Avenue, West Yarmouth, MA 02673
Great service! The server sent the manager over and he made sure everything was cooked without cross contamination. Very knowledgable! I have many allergies and he was very helpful! My steak, potato, and broccoli was wonderful! I'll definitely be back!
107 Wolf Road, Colonie, NY 12205
I think their gf knowledge is mirrored by that of their seasoning skills. Reminds me of the old ponderosa steak chain. As exciting as a library after close.
196B East Main Street, Milford, MA 01757
They have a nice size GF menu for a chain. Always a safe bet here. Never had any issues
786 River Street, Haverhill, MA 01832
Worst service in town, something is very wrong with the people who work here, they don't care about anything. We use to love going to 99 in Maine but this place has ruined it. I've got Celiac, when I told waitress, she said "poor you, you should probably stay home to eat" I asked for salmon with no spices on it (just plain) well it came all spiced up, when I asked to bring it back and please make a new one, she stormed off and made the kind of face my teenage daughter would when told "no". Well she proceeded to ignore us (never came back to our table), we asked another waitress near bye to go get her and she never came back to see us??? We asked to speak to manager to another different waitress who said "he's not here" We walked out. Last week we ordered by phone to pick up and when we got there nobody knew where our order was? We should of known then never to go back, so sad! We've never experienced anything like this before, anywhere!
199 J.T.Connell Highway, Newport, RI 02840
Do not go there. I went last night and had a Hamburg and a baked potato. I was sick all night. We had a nasty waitress and horrible service as well.
149 South Broadway, Salem, NH 03079
The food was great and the service was fantastic!! Had the Chicken Caesar salad and another person with me had the Balsamic Chicken and they were really great! The staff was very accommodating and they even had gluten sensitive sides!
687 Meadow Street, Littleton, NH 03561
There was a decent gluten free selection, and we enjoyed our food. Servers and kitchen staff seemed very aware. GF items are well marked on the regular menu which is nice.
14 Berry Avenue, West Yarmouth, MA 02673
There is hardly any selection.
99 Belmont Street, Easton, MA 02334
They have GF food and do well not to contaminate but it's not good. But neither is their regular food. Not tasty.
11 Taft Corners Shopping Center, Williston, VT 05495
Extremely helpful and conscientious staff made sure that my order was not cross contaminated. As soon as I mentioned that I was gluten-sensitive, I was connected to the manager who took my order and put it through. They have an absolutely delicious GF hamburger bun for their burgers and many other choices on their menu to choose from. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area.
2 Accord Park (Rte. 228), Rockland, MA 02370
I Always get the cheeseburger and it's great , never gotten sick , I recommend to all with celiac looking for a dope burgerrrrr
446 Route 3, Plattsburgh, NY 12901
Waitress was very informative! They do not have a separate prep area but by ordering "safe" items, you will be fine!
333 Littleton Street, Westford, MA 01886
Very good staff is a bit un aware of what celiac is because they asked me if i SAW any cross contamination of gluten, which i personally wouldnt be able to see. Otherwise food is great and i live their chicken ceasar salad!
659 Worcester Rd, Framingham, MA 01701
I've eaten here a couple of times with no problem. I've had the sirloin tips which are good. The first time I went I spoke with the Manager and I asked for my food to be brought out separately which it was. The second time I mentioned it to the waitress and was told she'd do her best ( not exactly the answer I was looking for). I will go back but I will always speak to the Manager. I have eaten many times at another location and never had a problem so I do believe they take it seriously.
34 Sconticut Neck Road, Fairhaven, MA 02719
Love the bacon and cheese burger
446 Route 3, Plattsburgh, NY 12901
Good service and options. Brought me a regular Caesar salad instead of gluten free but swapped right away and fast. Fast service even though packed.
7 Airport Road, Westerly, RI 02891
They had some gluten free items. I had a gf chicken Caesar salad and mashed potatoes. food was ok, not great. An ok place to go when no other options around.
295 Hartford Turnpike, Vernon, CT 06066
this place was serving me "g.f" salad. when I went to another state they let me know even the walnuts had wheat in them. no wonder I felt crummy. ALL of their salads had some sort of gluten in them (9/2015). it's so easy to substitute these little things. (1 star). I add another star because they have a decent menu for entrees that never made me sick
7 Airport Road, Westerly, RI 02891
It was good in terms of how they handled the allergy. Server was very accommodating. Food was mediocre, though
1371 Liberty Street, Springfield, MA 01104
Great gluten free selection, friendly staff, reasonable prices, it's a real go to for us when we want a quick, reasonably priced night out for our family. Three of us are gluten free and we can all find things we like. Kid friendly too!
99 Belmont Street, Easton, MA 02334
Very accommodating to gf diet and other allergies. Manager always gets involved and makes you feel comfortable with process. I enjoy the prime rib!
13 Commonwealth Avenue, West Concord, MA 01742
Pretty good choices for GF and a gluten free roll for burgers!
850 Chelmsford Street, Lowell, MA 01851
Waiter was extremely friendly and willing to ask manager any questions i had.. Limited menu.. However i was very ill after eating! They can not guarantee criss contamination!
121 VFW Parkway, Revere, MA 02151
The waitress was so helpful and brought me a gluten free menu, it was the best burger I have ever had!
10 St. Laurent Street, Nashua, NH 03064
I heard that they had a small gf menu and it is in the back page. So we ordered gf burger and said several times we are gf to the waitress and her trainee and even ordered gf vegetables. The burger comes out and it is clearly not gf and the roll was clearly not gf. So we wait. we wait. we wait and we wait. They finally come to check on us and when I question the rolls on the burgers she says no they are not gf and takes the food back. If we were new to gf we would have eaten it and suffered. So while they offer the gf limited menu it's as simple as if the staff has no clue, you're in trouble. The manager apologized and took it off the bill, but it's always a risk we take...
233 Broad Street, Bridgewater, MA 02324
I took both my kids who have Celiac to this 99 Restaurant. The waitress had no idea what was gluten or what they could or could not have. However, when I asked her to let the kitchen know that they are sensitive to cross contamination, the manager came to our table and was VERY helpful. She said that they cook the burgers and grilled chicken on the same grill as the steaks that have gluten in the marinade. But she offered to have the burgers baked in the oven to avoid cross contamination. The kids got kid menu cheeseburgers with broccoli instead of fries, and had no issues. We will definitely be back thanks to the wonderful manager.
144 Lowell Street (Rte. 129), Wilmington, MA 01887
Not many options on the menu, but wait staff was super helpful when i asked questions! I was able to substitute rice (theirs isn't gf) for mashed potatoes in my entree, which made it gf, even though it wasn't on the set aside menu. The kitchen staff and manager were also willing to talk to me and were hugely accommodating.
160 Lexington Road, Billerica, MA 01821
The nines is okay. They need to change it up and make improvements to their menu you can basically get steak a burger or a salad. They have the potential to make gf nachos and Fries but they don't have a dedicated fryer. It would be nice if they added more to the menu. Okay overall
161 Faunce Corner Road, North Dartmouth, MA 02747
Decent gluten free menu. Not sure if they're celiac friendly.
36 Shunpike Road, Route 3, Cromwell, CT 06416
Salmon, potatoes and broccoli were fabulous!
