49ers DE Justin Smith Retires: Rapid Reaction
It's official. After 14 years in the NFL, the Cowboy has hung up his pads for the last time.
In what was an altogether expected move, DE Justin Smith has decided to head into retirement, opting not to play in his eighth NFL season with the San Francisco 49ers. He made the announcement earlier on Monday, much to the chagrin of a 49ers fanbase still reeling from an offseason full of retirement and defection news, and an NFL Draft full of project prospects. Reports that the 35-year-old out of the University of Missouri was contemplating retirement had been buzzing since early March, when news of LB Patrick Willis' unexpected retirement decision came down the pipe.
In light of his impending decision, the 49ers had made the proper contingencies during the offseason. They signed former Arizona Cardinals DE Darnell Dockett in early March as a potential replacement / backup to Smith (if he decided to stay). They also drafted Oregon DE Arik Armstead as the team's long-term answer at Smith's old position – a prospect that may have to be groomed quicker than expected, in light of the decision.
He will be a hard man to replace, both on the field and in the locker room. After all, the five-time Pro Bowler was an anchor of the team's vaunted defensive line, and was part of the "Smith Bros. Sack Duo" with DE Aldon Smith in 2012 that helped the team reach Super Bowl XLVII. He was also a leading voice in the locker room and with the defense – something that the team will be hard-pressed to compensate for.
No doubt, pessimistic 49ers fans will point at this near-inevitability as another reason to pillory the 49ers front office of Jed York and Trent Baalke, and new head coach Jim Tomsula. After all, why would Smith want to play one more year on a sinking ship of a franchise – one that already saw the retirements of Willis and Borland? It HAS to be what's going on up top that was the ultimate factor.
And to that, I say … Give me a break.
Smith, himself, said that an oft-injured left shoulder was simply not responding, and the everyday wear-and-tear eventually showed him the writing on the wall.
And, if anything, Tomsula stepping in as head coach was not, as many pessimists would like to believe, the reason the Cowboy retired. In fact, Tomsula was probably the team's best shot at keeping Smith on for one more year. After all, as defensive line coach since 2007, Tomsula was the man Smith had worked closely with his entire 49ers career. He was the man who helped Smith reach five Pro Bowls and be named to three NFL All-Pro teams.
Furthermore, as talented as he was, Smith will be 36 years old when the 2015 season rolls around. He has a bum shoulder, and he simply could no longer play at a level befit of a man of his stature. Simply put, let the man go into retirement in peace, without the white noise of pointing fingers at easy targets like York, Baalke and Tomsula.
Congratulations on a great career, Justin. We of the 49er Empire salute you, and you will be sorely missed.

The global market for LED luminaires for outdoor and parking applications will grow from $921m in 2014 to $1.4bn in 2021, according to a report from Navigant Research.
Outdoor lighting systems are in the early stages of a transition from fluorescent, high-pressure sodium and metal halide lamps to LEDs. As LED prices continue to fall, the case for replacing today's most prevalent lighting technologies in outdoor systems is becoming inceasingly compelling, says the report 'Outdoor and Parking Lighting Systems', which analyzes the market for outdoor luminaires, lamps, and lighting controls in end-use applications including city parks and public areas, sports parks and stadiums, commercial site lighting, open air parking lots, indoor parking garages, and university and college campuses.
"While the deployment of LED lighting in parking lots will dramatically cut energy bills and help politicians achieve environmental goals, better lighting quality is a significant additional benefit in itself," says senior research analyst Jesse Foote. "LED lighting can help drivers better identify objects, obstacles, and individuals; minimize glare and light pollution; and make spaces more visually appealing while enhancing safety for pedestrians and motorists."
Because the lifespan of LEDs is much longer than that of conventional lighting, direct revenue from lamp and luminaire sales will actually decline gradually after 2021, according to the report. This trend will drive the large lighting providers to move toward a 'lighting-as-a-service' model, in which LED lighting and energy management will be offered as an ongoing service rather than a one-time equipment sale.

A new study, summarized in Monday's edition of The New York Times, shows that U.S. Supreme Court justices protect freedom of speech more often in cases where they share the ideological leanings of the speaker. One might be forgiven for responding with a resounding, "no kidding."
Judges are human, and no matter how neutral they genuinely try or wish to be, they still, like the rest of us, are inclined to defend more vehemently those people and causes that strike them as being sympathetic than those people and causes that don't. That's why any free-speech advocate worth his salt will insist on explicitly extending free speech protections to the vilest and most controversial of views — and why Canada's hate-speech laws are so problematic.
What is called "hatred" can easily amount to simply speech that most of us just don't like. Once we accept that the presence of "hate" is enough reason to prohibit expression, we've given the men and women in robes the power to impose the will of the mainstream as a muzzle; and to use their own particular political ideologies as a guide for whom to silence and whom to let speak.
Though the Trinity Western University law-school case is not explicitly, or at least not exclusively, a free speech case, this issue was the first thing that came to mind when I learned about the new U.S. study. The Canadian controversy has pitted a private Christian school that would make its students sign a covenant to abstain from sex outside heterosexual marriage, against self-proclaimed advocates for tolerance who view the existence of the covenant as evidence that TWU unacceptably discriminates against lesbians and gays. Both sides are pushing for the right to exercise their own expression of the diversity Canada likes to boast about welcoming.
Many Canadians claim they value diversity in the context of both religion and sexual orientation. The problem is that when asked to decide which group deserves more government protection, the answer depends largely on the ideological and/or religious leanings of the decision maker.
So far, the anti-TWU side is winning. The Law Society of Upper Canada has decided not to accredit TWU's law school (a decision that TWU is fighting in the courts). That's not especially surprising given that in contemporary mainstream Canadian society — and certainly in that part of society most likely to be part of Ontario's elite legal circles — it's far more common to view gay and lesbian communities as sympathetic than it is to view religious Christian communities as sympathetic.
Is that a problem in itself? No. There's a long history of real violence and intolerance toward gay people, not to mention explicit legal prejudice, which has brought us here. It's a sign of a healthy and compassionate society that we've evolved to the point where our natural sympathies now lie with the fellow human beings who were once so cruelly shunned.
The less mainstream a viewpoint, the greater the need to take care not to carelessly trample on the rights of those who hold it
But a truly healthy and compassionate society will be one wise enough not to let protections of expression be decided by majority leanings, of either the population or the equally human judges that population has appointed. The truly healthy and compassionate society errs heavily on the side of freedom as a principle, so that prevailing ideologies don't become the deciding factor between a Canadian being able to express himself and a Canadian having to suppress his thoughts or religious beliefs.
The general rule is that, as the ACLU has put it, "the defense of freedom of speech is most critical when the message is one most people find repulsive." The same can be said of the defense of freedom of religion. The less mainstream a viewpoint, the greater the need to take care not to carelessly trample on the rights of those who hold it.
While decades ago a covenant about restricting sex to the heterosexual marriage bed would probably have been considered unremarkable, today it strikes a great many of us as decidedly out of date and offensively limiting. But should that give us the right to effectively ban those who subscribe to it from practicing law? On the contrary; it should serve as a warning that those who subscribe to it are in particular need of protection from being punished by the state.
Will Canada one day reach a point where there just isn't enough demand to sustain a law school such as TWU? I have no idea. But whether or not it does should depend on Canadians' free choices and not the government's imposition of the kind of tolerance or diversity most in vogue at the time.

Gay and Lesbian couples in San Francisco and across the state have put their lives on hold -- again -- as they await the Supreme Court's final decision on Proposition 8, California's ban on same-sex marriage. The court announced today that it would review the legality of the law, which means the debate will drag out through 2013.
Couples like San Francisco residents Renata Moirera, 35, and her partner, 29-year-old Lori Bilella, have been together for five years, and are eagerly waiting to tie the knot. As prospective parents, the couple is concerned that Moirera's dual Brazilian and American citizenship will create problems for their children unless they can legally marry.
See also: Proposition 8: Supreme Court Will Hear Appeal on Gay Marriage
"There's a lot of struggles that our straight friends don't have to deal with," says Moirera.
The couple plans to have a ceremony in New York next September, but really, they want to exchange their vows here in San Francisco -- their home. "It really is heartbreaking that I might have to fly to another state to be recognized as a wife," says Moirera.
Bay Area residents Rev. Roland Stringfellow and his partner, Jerry Peterson, are also hoping to get the court's permission to marry. "As clergy members, both Jerry and I know that all of us, regardless who we love, are created in God's image," Stringfellow said in a written statement. "It is our hope that when the Supreme Court rules on the Perry case next year, more of God's children will be able to make a lifelong commitment to the person they love, and to strengthen their families, through marriage."
The Supreme Court decided today to review Prop. 8, the California state ballot initiative that said marriage can only be between a man and a woman. Arguments will be submitted to the court by April and a decision could come as early as June, 2013.

Neil was taught to play by Jim Currie at the Boys Brigade when he was 11 years old. He plays both the Great Highland Bagpipes (Kintail's & Naill's) and Scottish Smallpipes (Fred Morrison's made by McCallum Bagpipes).
In 1986 he was employed by the Scottish Office as the first Official Piper at Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness and was proud to play for the Loch Ness Monster (and visiting guests) at the castle.
Neil has competed at all major Pipe Band championships in the UK throughout the last 20 years and won many prizes in that time but he can proudly say his favourite prize was when the band he played with won Cowal Championshipsin Dunoon in 2000. Most pipers in Scotland will tell you there is no greater prize for a band due to it's unique traditions.
Neil now focuses all his time on his role as a Professional Piper and has no restrictions on availability as he no longer attends competitions or band events.
Neil wears Cunningham, Weathered Lochaber, Drummond of Perth, McDonald of Clanranald and the Isle of Skye tartans and the cap badges he wears proudly are the RTR (Royal Tank Regiment), as his brother served with the 4RTR and the Gordon Highlanders cap badge as his Grandfather served in the 2nd Battalion during the Great War.

Jazz saxophonist Chris Potter burst onto the New York scene in 1989 as an 18-year-old prodigy with bebop icon Red Rodney; the Chicago-born saxophonist then became the youngest musician ever to win Denmark's Jazzpar Prize. His discography now includes 16 albums as a leader and sideman appearances on over 100 more. He has also performed or recorded with such leading jazz figures as Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Jim Hall, Paul Motian, Ray Brown, John Scofield and Dave Douglas, as well as with the Mingus Big Band.
Potter takes the stage at Lexington's Lyric Theater at 7 pm tonight. Lexington architect and jazz artist Clive Pohl talked music with Potter. Here's part three of their conversation.
Clive: Your record This Will Be was the result of having won the Jazzpar Prize in Copenhagen and it's a live recording is it not?
Chris: Yes.
Clive: And so, I'm curious: what did that feel like as a young musician? You were not yet 30 years old and you won a very prestigious international prize. That must have been incredibly exciting.
Chris: Yeah. Well, I thought that helped in terms of visibility for me, you know, especially in Europe, but it also served to give me a little more confidence that, "okay, maybe I can do this, I can actually go on the road as a leader and present my music." It's a whole different thing. Prior to that, I'd been doing my own records, but hardly ever performing live with my own group, you know, and there's a whole thing about leading a band that involves the skills you need as a sideman but also other skills. Choosing what to play and when, choosing how to decide who you're going to ask to be in the band. Just a million little things.
Clive: It's not unlike being an architect wherein you have to get the foundation in place in order to get the building out of the ground with the help of many others who, on some level, have to buy into your vision.
Chris: Right. It's one thing to have the best vision of what could be made in your head, but then when you have to deal with reality; "okay, well, who is available, and what materials are available, and how much money can we actually spend?" And if you're not able to negotiate those things, then the thing that actually comes into reality isn't gonna be on the same level. So, that's been a journey and a turning point for me; learning how to be a bandleader.
Clive: Am I correct in assuming that with respect to your compositions the ante might have been raised a little bit with the Jazzpar suite?
Chris: Yeah. I don't remember that I had written for a large, or even medium-sized ensemble up to that point. That might have been one of my first real stabs at that. I think I did some things in school for big band or various ensembles but that helped to lead into a fascination with writing for larger groups and seeing how I can flesh out the ideas that I have compositionally for the bigger palette of a larger ensemble.
Clive: A quick question or two about your compositional development. When you're writing a piece like, for example, Chief Seattle, (Song for Anyone, 2007) it is an absolutely beautiful piece, and one that jumped out at me having lived in Seattle for many years. When you choose a name like that; which comes first, the music or the name?
Chris: It depends on the situation. I think that name did come later. I had just read a book with some quotes and a beautiful speech about taking care of the earth. There's a certain energy about that piece that reminded me of someone who is in charge, and someone that does have a vision of how to lead. I found that feeling in the piece and I think that led me to the name.
Clive: Do you have a spiritual practice, a meditation practice, or a specific time of day that you compose? It's hard for me to imagine how you find time, given how full your schedule is.
Chris: I don't exactly have any one practice that I use. I've read about different meditation strategies but really can't say that I follow one thing with regularity. To a certain extent, the saxophone helps with that in that when I'm working on music, when I'm working on sound, by playing long notes and just focusing on breathing, there's a kind of saxophone "yoga" I get into, and the music itself can help with some of those things. Music can't do it by itself – life has to come before the music or there's not going to be anything worth listening to! But it is helpful to approach music from a bit of a sacred point of view.
Clive: Well, certainly, playing saxophone is a different experience from playing the guitar in that it involves the breath and anyone can hear that… Paul Desmond's playing is clearly connected to his breath and inner being.
Chris: Yeah, that's a nice thing that it has in common with the voice. It is really a complete connection to breath. It's a serious limitation that you can only play one note at a time, but you can do so much with every note because of the expressiveness you can get from each breath. So, being able to control the breath and really think about what that means on a deep level — it does lead into a meditative state when you're in it. As far as the time of day that I write, I'm usually grabbing whatever time I can. For that particular record I recall that I came up with the basic framework at home in terms of tunes and the basic structure, but I think I wrote and fleshed it out with the orchestration while on the road. It's been a great big help to a lot of us as composers that you can write on a computer and save your work and then edit later. It's very useful to be able to travel and work on things. It's not ideal, but, in the life of a working musician there's seldom a chance to say "okay, I'm gonna take 3 months off and do this". I hope to have that experience in my life but so far, it's not lining up that way (laughs).
Clive: Right. I have one last question for you, Chris. It may be a difficult question for you to answer, but I'm curious to hear how you might muse upon it. You' strike me as someone who is clearly talented from early on and clearly disciplined and committed to the music. So, the question of nature versus nurture, where do you stand with that? What percentage of your makeup is natural talent versus just raw hard work?
Chris: That is something I've thought about. I mean, being naturally gifted at something is obviously a big head start, and I think a big part of the head start is that, if it's rewarding to do it, immediately if you say like "oh okay, I get this", then you're gonna want to do it more and you're gonna devote more energy to it. So, it's a cycle that reinforces itself. It's definitely easier for some people to grab certain things I've seen and harder for others, you know. It definitely helps to just be able to understand things quickly. I mean, not in every case, but that was something that manifested itself fairly early with what I was doing. On the other side, I feel like I've known many extremely talented people that never found a way to live up to what they were probably able to do. I'm a firm believer that while raw talent helps, it doesn't even get you halfway there. There really has to be a lot of time spent, and a lot of commitment to it.
Clive: I suspect too that on some core level, you understood as a teenager that you had to get up to New York and that commitment to that place helped to fuel your forward motion.
Chris: Oh yeah. I mean, it was great to get kicked in the pants! I mean, there wasn't anyone my age in South Carolina that I knew who was playing at all. So, I was this big fish in a small pound. So, coming to New York and meeting all these other amazing musicians and being exposed to all this stuff that I really just hadn't heard was a huge catalyst for growth and remains that way and that's why I'm still here.
Clive: Yeah. There is a decidedly competitive streak between musicians, no doubt about it.
Chris: Yeah. Yeah. In a mostly positive way.
Clive: Sometimes delivered with love and sometimes not.
Chris: Yeah. Maybe sometimes not, but usually with, you know – if there is respect!
Clive: That's right. That's right. Well, on that note of love and respect, I want to thank you and I look forward to hearing you on April 22nd. I'll come up and say hello if that's OK…
Chris: Thank you! I'm looking forward to it!

Probably the richest primary evidence from the ill-fated Dyatlov party are their photographs. Dozens of photos were taken, both before the outset of the hike and during the trek toward Dead Mountain. There were gifted photographers in the group; many of these are quite nicely composed. Some provide a relatable look at the doomed adventurers, while others are more mysterious.
In total, there were five cameras retrieved from Otorten. As mentioned previously, the group thought they only had four; Semyon's body was found with an unknown camera which he had kept hidden from the group. Aside from the film in these five cameras, there was also a loose sixth spool of film, and some loose photos, whose origins are unclear. They clearly show the hike, and were introduced into the inquiry of the accident, but nobody seems to ultimately know where they came from.
Krivonischenko was the most avid photographer of the group, and shot the lion's share of the Dyatlov photos. He has a good artist's eye.
His early shots, such as this one showing Dyatlov and Thibeaux planning the journey, are often candid. He snapped a classic "picture-of-a-person-taking-a-picture" picture, showing Zina with her camera, and a great snap of Nikolai Thibeaux immediately after tripping over a sawhorse:
Another, gloomier shot shows a view of the abandoned village as the party departs for the mountain.
They appear to be in typically high spirits as they reach the Lozva River:
However, we begin to see some grumpy faces as they recognize that they will not be able to take this course as planned, and must resort to the rougher Mansi road. Dyatlov, in particular, is not impressed.
The group appears to stop for a while for what seems like a somewhat tense conversation about the future of the expedition.
The final frames of the Krivonischenko film show the party struggling forward in what appear to be whiteout conditions. The last frame is a blurred shot of what looks like a luminous sphere of some kind, possibly a long exposure with bad focus. This shot has confounded many and led to speculations that UFO's were somehow involved in the group's demise, as there were indeed reports of glowing lights over Otorten that night. Teddy, however, argues that it is a technical frame exposed by the film lab that developed the pictures.
Nikolai Thibeaux took comparatively fewer photos, but, like Krivonischenko, he captured the strained sense of being lost as the group left the river and started following the Mansi trail:
Thibeaux's last, fairly alarming shot is of a darkened figure that seems to be approaching from not far off. To some, this is a photo of nothing less than a real-ass Yeti. Others just see an out-of-focus shot.
Slobodin didn't take a lot pictures with his camera, and many that he did take were water-damaged and have large sections missing. He did manage to grab a great picture of Dyatlov climbing a tree, before things got hairy:
He also got one of the few photos the group took of the ominous Otorten itself, looming grimly in the distance beyond miles of undisturbed taiga. His final shot is a spooky, badly damaged frame showing the Mansi tree markings.
The loose roll of film mostly consists of staged photos of the group traveling together.
In this film, too, we see that the smiles have vanished around the time the group comes upon the Mansi tree markings. Apparently following the path of the Mansi hunter, as described by Dyatlov in the journal, we see the group leaving the open trail and heading into dense tree cover.
The final shots on this roll show the group either resting or preparing to make camp. The frames are badly damaged. The group is still in a densely thicketed area, which they will leave as they approach the mountain.
From the obscure loose photos presented at the inquest, we have shots of the tent, rigged up with Dyatlov's homemade stove, which has a chimney that sticks out the side. The whole thing looks incredibly dangerous, if you ask me.
The final image is from February 1, afternoon on the day before the incident. The group is bundled up tightly and the weather does not look hospitable.
Finally, we come to Zolotaryov's mysterious camera, which none of the other hikers knew about. The images on this roll are badly, badly damaged, and there are a few that don't seem to show anything at all. Most are just black squares with white damage artifacts:
Some have seen in this damage clear evidence of UFO's, or demons, or some other kind of unexplained horrible beings. I'm not so sure I buy that. However, there are a couple of photos on this mystery camera that are a bit more, well, mysterious.
One image shows a very bright light source on the left, which weakens toward the right side of the frame, as a real light source would (note that in the above, damaged frames, we see white 'blobs' with fairly well-defined edges.) There also seem to be three objects in the foreground, which block the light. The one on the left has the highest contrast, again as we would expect with a real light source. It may be that this is a photograph of something intensely luminous in the sky over the heads of three hikers.
Another image very clearly shows an illuminated tree branch. It's hard to say whether the light source is behind the tree (swallowing it in its glare) or whether it is a light shined at the tree. In any event, none of the hikers in the Dyatlov party brought a flashlight with them in their flight from the tent.
By now, you've probably thought of about a hundred possibilities for what could have happened to this ill-starred expedition. Rest assured, there are hundreds more out there. Let's run through a few of them.

Grande West Gains Traction in the US Private Market
Jun 16, 2017, 08:30 ET
VANCOUVER, June 16, 2017 /CNW/ - Grande West Transportation Group Inc. (TSXV: BUS; OTC PINK: GWTNF) – June 16, 2017: ("Grande West" or the "Company"), a Canadian bus manufacturer of heavy-duty mid-sized transit buses for sale in Canada and the United States, is pleased to announce new orders for US private market customers.
Grande West's exclusive US distributor Alliance Bus Group ("ABG") will deliver ten (10) Vicinity buses for private customers in New York, Boston and Boca Raton. The names of the private companies will not be released for competitive reasons.
William Trainer, CEO of Grande West stated, "Starting in January, our sales and engineering groups have been working closely with ABG sales staff to respond to many public and private RFPs across the US. We are now seeing that diligent work pay off, much like we saw in the early days of our Canadian sales ramp. It's very exciting to know that within the next two quarters, Vicinity will be operating across four states in the US which include New York, Georgia, Massachusetts and Florida."
These orders are already included in our backlog as a previous order from ABG.
Backlog: Current total firm orders for Q2 2017 through 1H 2018 delivery are for two hundred sixty five (265) buses valued at over $96 million CAD.

Twenty 20
Onam 2008 saw the release of a superhit malayalam movie which was packed with all the superstars of malayalam "Twenty Twenty". This movie was produced by Dileeep and I hear that 1 crore from the profits get contributed too "AMMA" and also that all the actors from the malayalam film industry who belong to "AMMA" were part of the movie for free.
I loved the movie. Saw it in Nov 2008. We went to watch it with my uncle and wife and daughter at the kothamangalam theater. There is this new theater there which never existed during my college days. This theater has got posh seats and good AC. Overall the entire movie was a great experience but for the fact that we missed few initial minutes of the movie as we were late in getting seated.
Mamooty and Mohanlal are the star attractions in the movie and they both have done their role so well…no one can beat them when it comes to acting. They both look so glamorous for their age. I also liked many other characters like Swaraj Venaramood, Jagathi, Innocent, Kavya Madhavan, Dileep, jayaram, Sureshgopi etc. The comedy, the twist in the story and the competition between Mamooty , Mohanlal and SureshGopi etc keep the fans at the edge of their seat.
I got one more chance to watch this movie in Dec 2008. This time with my hubby and his family. We all went to Muvatupuzha theater, I think its name is Issacs. Once again enjoyed watching all my favorite actors on screen.

A beautiful movie worth watching with a touching Oscar winning performance by Tom Hanks.
I am on a movie watching spree and the way this movie was made and the performance by Tom Hanks impressed me a lot. It is visible that Tom Hanks has lost a lot of weight for the movie which suits the role. The gay relationship is also beautifully portrayed. I also loved the role played by Densel Washington and Antonia Benderas.
In the Valley of Elah
Another nice evening spent watching a touching movie. An academy award nominated movie of 2007.
This movie is based on true events and revolves around Iraq war, military crimes and life of soldiers and the post-traumatic stress disorder following active combat.
You can read more about this movie in wikipedia
Strong roles portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Therone.
The movie starts with the military informing a father about his son going AWOL. AWOL (Absent Without Official Leave) is a term used in English-speaking armed forces. Tommy Lee Jones goes to investigate his son's disappearance and what unfolds over the rest of the movie gives us a clear picture of the trauma and mental instability of the young soldiers.
This movie doesn't try to make a hero of the main character whose death is being investigated, but gives a true picture of events.
A very touching movie which leaves us aware of certain after effects of Iraq war which would have gone unknown had it not been for such great movies.
Hats off to Paul Haggis for making this movie.
Two good movies
Last week we saw 2 good movies back to back.
Road to Perdition – Starring Tom Hanks, Paul Newman, Daniel Craig etc.
A nice movie and if I put it in my cousins words "A movie with many layers". It was an interesting movie which showed the emotions of a father protecting his son from entering into the mafia world. A story narrated by a son,about his life experiences and about his relation with his father.
Rendition – Starring Meryl Streep, Omar Metwally, Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal etc.
A good movie. Rendition is a movie based on the extraordinary rendition by CIA based on which a suspect is deported to a secret detention facility outside US in order to extract information. After the terrorist attack on the twin towers it is believed that there has been many similar cases.
This movie is well taken intertwining scenes from two time spans… and we come to know of this only in the end of the movie. There are many characters around which the story revolves – the plight of a pregnant women fighting to get information about his missing Egyptian husband who was on the flight back home, though all the information has been erased.A friend who is trying his best to find information of his missing friend. A father who is searching for his missing daughter. A US official who is forced to be part of the torture procedures. A terrorist who fights for the cause he believes in. A girl who is caught between her terrorist boy friend and her strict father. A senior US official who signs the proceedings of the deportation and torture.
Note: All the comments are my personal opinion and I do not guarantee it to be correct. Please read the review at your own risk.
The sound of Boot
Sounds like an interesting title isn't it?.. yes this is the name of the lastest Suresh Gopi starring release, directed by Shaji Kailas.
After a long time, we made this trip to PVR to watch a malayalam movie. My sweetheart loves malayalam movies, anything other than the non-commercial type movies and when he heard that this one is released he was busy selling it to me for a weekend outing. I love to make him happy and so we went on saturday morning and booked the ticket for the same day evening 7.30 show. BTW did you guys know that they have a movie ticket vending machine at PVR.. cool ..not bad.. just select the movie, the seat and swipe the card and spat comes out the ticket… cool isn't it.
After a long nap.. i rather not call that nap.. a long sleep in the evening, we got ready for going to the movie. Since the past few days Bangalore has been cloudy and cool, and rain began the same time we left our home..it was raining cats and dogs and I love going out in rain, provided I am not getting wet in any dirty muddy water.. and this was one such outing.. we strategically took the far off gate to enter Forum, just in case the other one was closed since the parking could be full. We got a good parking and reached for the movie well ahead in time though the drive took long cause of the extra traffic jam due to rain.
While waiting for the movie to begin, we got to meet our college friends.. so the movie trip was even better fun, chatting up with them for long time before and after the movie.
Now getting on to the story.. It was a "so so" types… a typcial homicide investigation types…. better when compared to some other recent movies of Suresh Gopi. I hate movies with rape and violence on women, so I disliked this movie just for that aspect.. otherwise it was an ok types.. if lucky this movie would break even in terms of profits in the market.
Overall a very nice saturday night. We got back home and watched "Namaste London" VCD and dosed off…..I just love weekends.
Tamil movies
In the initial days of my career I was based at Chennai and I used to regularly watch the hit tamil movies. But after shifting base from Chennai I have not seen many Tamil movies. These days we do try and pick some hit tamil movie DVD's. There are some really good tamil movies being made these days.
Some of the movies we recently saw are Khaka Khaka, Gajani, Satham podathee, Vetayadu Vilayadu, Kandukonden Kandukonden and Mozhi.
**** I liked the movie Khaka khaka for the boldness of the character played by Jyotika. Also Jyotika and Surya make a beautiful pair. I became a big fan of Surya after watching this movie. The fact that the ending of the movie was not great was a big disappointment. Overall enjoyed the movie for the beautiful people, the melodious songs and the freshness of the story.
**** Good thing that I got to watch Gajani, cos these days we get hear that Amir is doing a remake of Gajani and I am no longer clueless as to which movie they are referring to. I disliked the violence in the movie, then again I liked it for the handsome hunk Surya. I also liked the role played by Hasin. I did not like Nayan Tara's role cos she somehow did not seem to fit the character and looked a bit too heavy for the role. Overall the movie had the freshness of being a different story from what we have been seeing all these years which was nice, but then I was surprised to see the similarity in both these movies in terms of the tragedy and sad ending of the main characters.
*** Satham podathee – We keep picking the movies in which Prithviraj acts just cos we both are a fan of his acting and movies. This movie got me to know about the term Alchohol anonymous. Being from a non medical background I did not know that such a term was used to refer to achohol addicts going through de-addiction. The movie dragged a bit throughout. The story had a good message.
**** Mozhi – another good movie with a sweet message. With each movie of Jytohika, my liking for her acting skills keep increasing. I loved prithviraj in this movie and also prakash raj and the 2nd heroin.. I cant remember her name.
**** Kandukondein kandukondein was a very nice movie, which we missed watching at the time it was released.. a very good watch and a very good story with strong characters and good script. Tabu and Aishwarya have strong charaters to play in this movie.
*** Vetayadu vilayadu – an unusual movie with a different story line..story of pshychopaths and homicide… some what in the lines of a hollywood movie.. which can't be watched in the presence of kids since they show lot of violence. Could have called it a great watch if it had been half an hour shorter. Kamalahasan looks very young for his age.
Rollercoaster ride
Usually I stay alone at home when P goes on his official trip, but since the past many months one of my cousin comes over and stays with me or else I go and stay with my friends.
Recently, after a long time, I stayed at home alone over a weekend since P was out of town. I enjoy staying alone once in a while, spending my time cooking stuff i enjoy & watching movies i like.
So I spent 2 fun days watching movies and lazing on the couch. This is the review of some of the movies I saw while at home on my own.
** The story of us
The outline – Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfieffer play a married couple who go through hard times in fifteen years of marriage.
Some how I was not convinced by their issue, probably I could not relate to it. I felt 15 years is too long a time for such issues to creep into a marriage. Also the ending was abrupt with all issues coming to an end in a blink.
A bad watch.
*** Before Sunrise
The outline – A young man(Ethan Hawk) and woman(Julie Delphy) meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one romantic evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.
This was a good watch not great. Some element of magic which I expected in a romantic movie was missing, but certainly this was a different kind of romantic story and the ending leaves the audience with the hope that they both would finally live happily ever after.
A good watch
**** Bounce
The outline – A man(Ben Affleck) switches plane tickets with another man who dies in that plane in a crash. The man falls in love with the deceased one's wife(Gwyneth paltrow).
This film was taken very well and shows plight of this man very well and then how he later falls in love with this lady and how the events turn out in his life… I loved this movie..but at times felt that Ben Affleck could have done a better job.
A very good watch.
**** The Great Debaters
The outline – A drama based on the true story of Melvin B. Tolson, a professor at Wiley College Texas. In 1935, he inspired students to form the school's first debate team, which went on to challenge Harvard in the national championship
I always love the movies made based on true story. I feel this gives a chance to the incidents that made a mark in history to brought in front of the common public via the fastest medium of movies. Denzel Washington always has been one of favorites, I like him for the justice he does to the character he plays. This was one another of that kind. Overall the movie goes slow, but then it gives goose bumps when we know that we are seeing a scene which actually happened. This movie also covers racism and a new word I learned from this movie is "Lynching"(To execute without due process of law, especially to hang, as by a mob).
A very good watch.
*** Nancy Drew
The outline – Teen detective Nancy Drew (Roberts) accompanies her father on a business trip to Los Angeles, where she happens upon clues to a murder mystery involving a movie star.
I think P got this movie for me. It was a trip back down the memory lane to the teenage days when we used to read Nancy Drew novels. This is a typical kids movie. I enjoyed it though. Also the mystery that was solved was interesting.
A good watch.
Lot more reviews to come. Month of January has been busy watching movies and I am myself surprised to see the long list of movies that were covered this year.
Twist of the tale
***Dus Kahaniyan ( Hindi movie )
This new year eve we got together with some friends and watched this movie while relishing good tandoori dishes and interesting mocktails. I liked most of the stories. Some stories had very simple interesting anti-climax and a very good message. 7 out of the 10 stories are very good. My favorite story was the one about a dying man telling the story of his affair with the neighbouring flat lady and how it ended. I got the feel of watching the short stories collection similar to "Twist of the tale" of Jeffrey Archer.
Touched my heart
These days I have been busy and have not been able to do many posts but very soon will be back to my painting and other activities.
So far this year has been busy with lots of movie watching, mostly DVD's or CD's in the evenings. I thought I should start putting down my commments on these movies while it is still fresh in my mind. The views expressed here are strictly my own opinion about the movie, your perpective may be different.
Thought I will give some stars to show my rating
***** – Excellant
**** – Very good
*** – Good
** – Bad
* – Very Bad
***** Taare Zameen Par ( Hindi movie )
The much awaited directorial Debut of Amir khan! Excellant acting by Darsheel who enacted Ishaan Awasti. He should be awarded the best actor and not the best child artist for the year. Amir has always been my favorite, and this time also he has done an amazing role. He has once again proved that he is a perfectionist. The movie was very touching and at the same time made me feel light and happy at the end. It was also an eye opener for me and I hope for many others who did not know much about the dyselxia or learning disorder. The touching scenes that brought tears to my eyes are Ishaan crying in the hostel bathroom, Ishaan's expression on completing the painting and seeing his picture was drawn my his teacher and the final hugging scene.
Hats off to Amir for TZP!

This section holds a few of the short stories I've crafted, both within and outside of the 23rd Century setting for my main storyline.
"The Fallen Warrior", "From the Depths", "Duality" and "Ghost Ship" are all set within the 23rd Century universe, originally given form by Children of Earth and Hijacked. The first three have been transcribed from handwritten scribblings taken from my over-filled lever arch folders. Ghost Ship was something that came about nearly three years ago as yet another group of characters set upon high adventure in the far-flung future – and there were over 14 chapters crafted out for that particular tale, but they were done online through a writing website and some fool didn't copy down the text files before the site shut down 😮
It was a rather painful lesson! As of this moment, I have been able to recreate 7 of the 14 chapters and fully intend to try and craft out the remainder to bring the tale to its conclusion – but that's alongside all the other work I have to do on all the other tales that are swimming around out there.
"The Crooked Seaman" is a complete one-off. It was not designed to be part of any universe or launch a new plethora of tales. It was simply based off one individual I saw on an almost daily basis as I drove into Liverpool City Centre each morning. I sat down and began typing. That was the result.
To gain access to each of the short stories, simply hover over the "Paul's Shorts" menu item above to see what's available, or take the easy route and click on one of the story titles in the menu to the right >>>.

Fanny and Alexander
Fanny och Alexander; drama, Sweden / France / Germany, 1982; D: Ingmar Bergman, S: Ewa Fröling, Bertil Guve, Pernilla Allwin, Allan Edwall, Kristina Adolphson
Sweden, early 20th Century. It's winter and little Fanny and her brother Alexander live in a rather wealthy family, occasionally playing with the servants. Their parents Emilie and Oscar raise them in Catholic education and organize a play with them involving the theme of the birth of Jesus Christ. But one day Oscar falls unconscious while he was playing the ghost in a play about Hamlet, and dies shortly after that. Emilia marries Edward, a bishop, but he turns out to be a violent tyrant - he locks Fanny and Alexander in his home and beats them for every lie. Emilia is pregnant and can't divorce him, but some old man manages to secretly free the children from their home and bring them at his place. From there, Alexander almost supernaturally causes a fire in Edward's home, which kills him. Everything returns back to normal.
Ingmar Bergman's last feature film released theatrically (he later on went to direct a few TV films, respectively) didn't disappoint his fans, but it also didn't particularly overwhelm them. "Fanny and Alexander" last for full 3 hours - they are not boring, but a lot of empty scenes seem unnecessary and overstretched - while the famous director lacks inspiration, passion and highlights in this particular case. The film is as depressive and static as his previous ones, and contains a solid concentration of quality: the best parts are actually humorous, like in the scene where an old gentleman is running in his underpants and farts (!) in order to entertain the children, a rather courageous idea that works in this case and was later on handled inferiorly in numerous vulgar comedies. In another scene, a madam responds to her husbands offense that she stinks with: "You're having sent hallucinations". Still, in the title it clearly states that the children, Fanny and Alexander, are the main characters, but in the first third of the story they are not even present, and even later on they seem rather pale and are being pushed in the background. It seems the move should have been called "Emilia and Oscar" instead. Still, the subtle handling of the theme of stepfather's abuse and surprising fantasy elements (a ghost in front of Alexander) give enough reasons for a recommendation.

Editor's note: This is part of an ongoing series of profiles introducing area candidates running for local elected offices.
Please introduce yourself: Include hometown, education and family.
My name is Jordan Buck. I am 28 years old. I was raised and currently reside in Wilson, Okla. I graduated high school from Wilson in 2008 and I am currently attending Murray State College. I am married to Farrah Buck and I have four children, Langston, Aspyn, Ivy, and Kelley. The last five and a half years, I have worked as a maintenance technician at the Michelin plant in Ardmore. Prior to that, I worked a few different jobs in the oil and gas industry.
What prompted you to run for this office?
The lack of representation for the middle class, the working man and woman has concerned me for awhile now. Along with that, our state seems to be making poor decisions left and right. I also felt that the citizens of our district did not have a voice in the way that our Representative was voting, and that is frustrating. Instead of waiting and hoping that someone with my stance on what a Representative should be would run, I decided that I would just run myself.
What challenges do you expect to encounter if elected?
I am sure there will be many challenges. The state is broken right now and it will not be an overnight fix. There are some tough decisions that need to be made. I believe that my biggest challenge will be getting people to understand that I am not in this to play a partisan game, I am in it for my constituents and what is best for them.
What do you hope to accomplish?
There are numerous things that I would like to see done. The obvious ones are funding for education and other state agencies, criminal justice reform, which includes expansions of drug courts and work programs, and economic growth for our area and state. I would like to help the working class of people, because I believe that they are the backbone of this country and right now they are getting the short end of the stick in many different aspects. On top of those, I hope to bridge the gap between our legislature and our citizens. I hope to become more involved with the citizens and what they want. I want to hear their opinions and I want people to know that they do have a voice and if the right people are elected then that voice can be very loud.
How do you plan to meet your goals?
I think meeting my goals will involve a lot of listening and learning. There are people out there who have expertise on one subject or another and if we are willing to take the time and reach out to these people then finding solutions can be much easier than we are making it.
What do you see as the biggest challenges facing the state?
I think the biggest challenge facing the state is their lack of willingness to work together. All you hear about is that Democrats want this or Republicans want this. I believe that if we learn that both sides can voice their opinion and also work on a common solution, then we will make great strides in putting this state back on the right track.
What do you see as the biggest legislative need facing your district?
As I said earlier, I believe that the biggest need for our district is actual Representation. District 48 is full of hard working men and women and they need to be heard and represented. They need someone that is willing to reach out to them, hear their concerns and then take those concerns to the Capitol, stand firm, and address them.

Guns, statistics and lies
Every time a Muslim terrorist shoots, stabs, bombs or runs over Americans, the default response is, ?Let?s not jump to any conclusions?. That?s swiftly followed by media spin pieces claiming that the majority of terrorist attacks are really committed by white male Republicans and the Amish based on math so bad that even the world?s crookedest bookie wouldn?t go near it. And anyone who argues that the pattern of Islamic terror attacks is a call for common sense migration reform is regarded as a racist and a coward who wants to destroy the Constitution by blowing a handful of attacks out of proportion.
(And do you know how many people are hit by lightning or stung by killer bees every year.)
Yet every time there's a big storm it's proof that man-made global warming is real.
Libertarian and pragmatic anarchist. Treat everything the media says as a lie and know the narrative. Facts trump rhetoric.

Owner Surrender
PetConnect Rescue receives many inquiries from people who want to surrender their cats or dogs. While we would like to be able to help, volunteer rescue organizations such as ours cannot take in all of these animals. We have a limited budget and small number of available foster homes to care for these animals until homes are found. Our first priority is to help rescue animals who are in impending danger and have already found themselves in a high-kill shelter.
From time-to-time though, we can help out an owner who needs to surrender and rehome a pet. To determine whether we can assist in an owner surrender situation, we will need as much information from the current owner as possible. Please submit a write-up about the animal, including the answers to the questions listed below. Pictures are also helpful. Owner surrenders must be fully vetted before surrender and documentation must be provided. Please use the form below, or the information can be emailed to email@example.com

(I'm going to save some time here if no one minds).
The group cautiously explores the remainder of the dungeon. It's well lit and is quite well adorned with tapestries and rugs. Many pedestals show that there were likely some other things here, but each of them are now empty.
To the North they found a well-stocked kitchen and a large dining hall. Both seemed to have been left hastily are not cleaned, dishes still cluttered the tables, and a half cooked meal remained in the ovens in the kitchen.
To the West was a door that radiated strong abjuration magic and had no obvious handle... After a few minutes of trying the door they were unable to successfully get it open. At the end of the hall was the sleeping chambers. It had over twenty beds, like the kitchen it seems this room was abandoned hastily. Random items were scattered here and there, the beds were mostly unmade, but for the most part despite it being cluttered it was clean. On the far wall was many different types of clothes, and many empty spaces where clothes likely had been before this place was abandoned.
to the East was several rooms. An armory held many different weapons and armors, but a quick check discerned there was no magic. It appears whoever was here previous took any weapons or equipment of extreme value. Across the way from the Armory was a training room filled with practice dummies, climbing walls, targets for archery or darts. To the north of these was a large library. While much of the place had been cleaned out of things of value, this room was different. The library housed a massive number of books going up twenty feet. However, about a third of the shelves were empty, and it was apparent why. In the middle of the room was a pile of still warm ashes and glowing coals. In the middle of the pile several books were still burning, but were likely beyond recovery at this point.
To the south of the Eastern hall was a circular stairway. It went up about a hundred feet and came to a door with several locking mechanisms, some that were unfamiliar to the group. After a few minutes of fiddling they were able to get them all open. The door opened into a cave, and as soon as the door opened a burst of cold air came upon the adventurers. They quickly realized that out of the cave had a small layer of snow on the ground. The air was below freezing, but not unbearable.

We've all been there. We make those New Year's Resolutions with hope in our hearts and a dream of being truly organized by this time next year. Just think of it! A clean spring, stress-free summer, an organized autumn, and a wonderful winter! It's all part of the plan, but wait. What is the plan?
Soon, taking one child to basketball and another to choir practice leaves your plan to have home-cooked dinners 6 nights a week out the window. Emergency car repairs and a sprained ankle tripping over the quickly piling up laundry put your gym plans on the back burner. And before you know it, it's half past summer and you still haven't taken down your Christmas tree.
We have good news! We don't have all the answers, either!
What we do have is an amazing community of parents and caregivers, each with their own struggles, and their very own answers! We've put together a few of our favorite get-organized-ideas from mom bloggers, Pinterest, and trouble shooting our very own lives to help you make this the year it all comes together! (Or at least the year you get children in at least twice to see us!)
First Thing's First! Write it Down!
A dream is just a dream. A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline! So the first thing to do when deciding on your resolutions this year is to write them down. Typing them out is nice, but studies show that actually taking a pen to paper and seeing your goal written in your own handwriting has a significant effect on your brain, making this goal just a little more real to you!
Many gurus, motivational speakers, and life coaches insist that you must word your goal as if you are already experiencing the change you're hoping to make. So instead of writing down: I will lose ten pounds this year, you would write: It's December of 2019 and I'm pulling on my favorite pair of old blue jeans that didn't fit this time last year. I feel stronger, healthier, and more energetic!"
If your goal is to become more organized, you would write: I'm getting ready to take my children to school. They have plenty of time to eat a healthy breakfast without anxiety or urgency. They were able to find their own clothes, their homework and backpacks are ready, and their lunches are packed. We have plenty of time to enjoy each other's company before calmly heading into school and on to our next destinations today. We have plenty of time!
Doesn't that feel great? Ok, now back to the real world. How do we make that your new reality? It's not easy. If it were easy, we would all have flawless hair and peaceful children and fresh baked goods on the clean counter when they come back home, but none of us do!
And that's ok! But getting organized will take a bit of the fire drill out of your mornings! So let's start.
Clothes Minded
Fun Blogger Alert! Organized Mom has excellent tips on everything from creating a recipe binder to making your own holiday ornaments! She details an excellent system for keeping only up-to-date clothes in your kids' drawers and closets, which makes getting rid of outgrown or out seasoned clothes a breeze! And without all of those extra clothes clogging up your kids' rooms, getting ready in the morning will go so much faster! Not only that, you'll end up rewashing clean clothes a lot less often! Let's be honest, when your child pulls out shorts in January and you tell them to change, those shorts go on the floor, and then into the wash. It never ends! But now, maybe it can. For five minutes.
Meal Prep!
Packing your child's lunch always sounds like an easy idea, but by the time morning arrives you count it as a victory that you got them to eat something besides a handful of dry cereal on their way out the door. A bit of time invested immediately after you get home from the grocery store can save you countless morning headaches!
When you start unpacking your groceries, start by filling the sink with vinegar and water. Dump all of your fruits and vegetables in and let them sit while you put away everything else. Start a pot of water to boil, and fill it with a dozen eggs. While the eggs boil, chop carrots and celery into sticks, broccoli into florets, and cucumber into slices. Pack them into Tupperware. Dice onion, celery, and carrots and set into its own Tupperware. Now you have sides ready for lunchboxes and salads, and mirepoix ready for cooking.
Set fruit out into a bowl, ready to eat or toss in a lunchbox on the go.
Cool the eggs and return them to the egg crate. Clearly mark the carton as "boiled eggs" so nobody tries to bake with them!
Now you have easy lunches ready in a snap, and it really only takes about 15 minutes!
Family Planning
Have a calendar available and in sight of your whole family. Give each family member their own pen color, and mark practices, appointments, and chores in their own color. This makes it easy to see at a glance who has a birthday party to go to this weekend and who has soccer practice!
While filling in your family's schedule for the month, look ahead a little bit! Schedule their physicals and dental exams now! Many pediatricians require a few months' notice to schedule a physical, and you don't want to wait until June to find out that there's a waiting list to get in for your school's required checkup! And with time to make two dental appointments this year, be sure you're getting the most out of your benefits by getting your children in every 6 months for a cleaning!
Your kids really can do things for themselves. They don't want to, but they can. You often find yourself doing all of the little tasks you assign to them because it's only a 5-minute task, but you're doing 40 of them a day, and it adds up! Give your kids a chance to earn screen time, play dates, and allowance by putting away their own laundry, unloading the dishwasher, and picking up the play room.
When you have those extra precious minutes back, you'll find tension easing for everyone in your home! You actually have time to hit the gym, wash your hair, and schedule your own doctor's appointments! Let's be honest, when was the last time you made it in for a full physical or dental checkup of your own?
Cut Clutter
Here is where the tough love comes in! If there are so many toys, crafts, and clothes in your home that you simply can't find a place for everything, that's your cue to downsize! Don't wait for spring cleaning, start now.
Remove any clothes that don't fit. For the parents, too!
The Open Door Mission accepts all gently used clothes and gives them to those who need it the most! While you're at it, drop off any toys that aren't being played with, and appliances that aren't being used!
Youth Emergency Services offers clothes, food, and other resources to homeless or at risk youth in Omaha. Consider donating gently used shoes, clothes, and outwear to a child who doesn't have all that you've been able to provide for your own children.
The Women's Center for Advancement would happily rehome and clothes that no longer fit, offering women escaping poverty or abuse a fresh start!
Keep two bins by the dryer, one for giving away and one to use as cleaning rags or quilting pieces. Inspect each item for overuse and fold neatly before donating.
With less clutter, fewer clothes to wash and rewash, and the overall feeling that you've done something good for your community, you're more organized and ready to take on 2019!

First wireless communicationIn 1894, the first wireless transmission of information using Morse code was demonstrated by Oliver Lodge during a meeting of the British Association at Oxford. A message was transmitted about 150 yards (50-m) from the old Clarendon Laboratory to the University Museum. However, as he later wrote in his Work of Hertz and Some of his Successors, the idea did not occur to Lodge at the time that this might be developed into long-distance telegraphy. "Stupidly enough, no attempt was made to apply any but the feeblest power, so as to test how far the disturbance could really be detected." Nevertheless this demonstration predated the work of Guglielmo Marconi, who began his experiments in 1896.«

NEW YORK. The biggest jewelry trend from the start-of-the-summer, trade-only shows (where your jeweler shops for holiday stock) is appearing now in stores: convertibles. These are pieces that transform from one look to at least one other. Think drop earrings that turn into studs, or bracelets that, once strung on ribbons, transform into chokers. Convertible styles are not new—convertibles were big in the Art Deco period and have appeared off and on in the market at other times, too, like the early 2000s. Convertibles return for fall, eager to appeal to shoppers who appreciate the value of a good two-for-one (or more) deal. The easiest way for you to adopt the trend? Earrings. Here are five new pairs that allow you to take up the convertible cause.

Best Defensiveback of all time, NOT named Deion Sanders...
Meeker replied to mdonnelly21's topic in NFL ComparisonsThat versatility is why I give it to Ronnie Lott. Deion's lack of run support knocks him further down the list behind Rod Woodson and Mel Blount. Feel I should give more mention of Night Train Lane, as the best pre-SB DB. Had size, extremely physical, durable, and a ballhawk who's single-season INT record hasn't had a serious challenger since 1980...he did that in 12 games.
Team Needs?
Meeker replied to brazilianguy's topic in Seattle SeahawksTeam Need #1 If Cable survives the offseason, I'll have lost faith in Pete as our HC. Agreed for the most part. Not that gloomy on the RBs, wouldn't mind one in the 2nd-3rd unless the talents just too much in the 1st (don't know much about the upcoming class). WR, I wouldn't mind a big body early. I think Paul Richardson is gone, just too injury prone, don't want to take that risk. I think we should move on from Jimmy, we don't utilize him fully and he has had his fair share of drops this year. Brown will get his extension and I know Ifedi will get another year, although I'm not too optimistic about him developing. As for OGs, I'd love to get a RG in the 2nd or 3rd. Sheldon Richardson and Frank Clark should be extended and as mentioned, could look for another talent to add to the DE rotation early in the draft.

MVP leaders at this point.
Meeker replied to resilient part 2's topic in NFL GeneralHe accounts for 85.9% of the offenses yards (highest all time) as well as 96.3% of their TDs (highest since 1934).
Yeah, he has really bad pocket presence and command...always been his biggest weakness.
Lol, just exaggerating since he's the tallest WR in history
Well, the midget version of 6'8" Carmichael
Alex Collins
Meeker replied to Zman724's topic in Seattle SeahawksYeah, never liked the Lacy signing...and frankly, Collins had plenty of chances and didn't look good outside a handful of plays. Remember him having poor quickness and always going down on first contact.
Pick 1 Russell Wilson @TEN Philip Rivers KC Pick 2 Keenan Allen KC Michael Thomas @CAR Alshon Jeffery NYG Kelvin Benjamin NO
Which Def? CAR vs BUF TB vs CHI JAX vs TEN And who should I drop? Jordan Matthews Kelvin Benjamin or...just roll with MIN @PIT?

Anderson Derrick Henry Michael Thomas Alshon Jeffery Keenan Allen Kelvin Benjamin Jordan Matthews Seems like Tarik Cohen should be the primary target on the WW. For #2, should I be targeting Kenny Golladay or Cooper Kupp?
How long will this D hold? They're going to get exhausted
Was one of the earliest on this train...
Why don't they do a video review before ejections? Why do they only rely on what seen on the field? I don't care if the refs didn't see anything, if something clearly is seen on video, the player should be ejected, even an entire series later.
