"I cant believe RP put his initial on these"
I love RP, but these smoke aint even as good as some store brands i have tried. Rocky not good to be this bad and have Cuban on them.dawg in N.C. July 27, 2013
BOUGHT A BOX OF THESE AND THAT WILL BE THE LAST OF 'THAT' CIGAR. ONLY A HOT POKER IN YOUR MOUTH MAY BE WORSE. BITTER, DON'T STAY LIT, TUNNEL AND MORE.SAVE YOUR MONEY.DON PRUSAKOWSKI in PHOENIX, AZ. June 16, 2013
"Very Happy!"
I tend to buy for a bargain smoke. I bought these on sale and was very happy with them at a great price.David in Atlanta March 1, 2013
Talk about "looks being deceiving". Rocky makes some very good cigars without question, but this one and his Old World Reserve are losers! I feel qualified to comment after smoking 5 of these that had been in my humidor for over a month. Its beyond me how anyone could rate anything about this cigar over 50, aside from its appearance. The initial appearance is arousing and I was excited to get around to smoking one. The cigar is thick and heavy, leading you to believe that your in for a treat. Once you light it however, the horror begins. Its like trying to keep a wet log burning, literally. There is absolutely no draw! With both cheeks touching inside my mouth on every draw, I couldn't produce enough smoke to say I was actually "smoking" the thing. I tried a plug remover on two occasions. These cigars are so dense that I couldn't push the plug remover through it without destroying it. I had to constantly look to see if it in fact was still lit, constantly re-lighting. I dont think I got 1/3 through any of the five, before throwing them away out of sheer frustration. I can't even comment on the taste because I couldn't get past the other problems to consider the taste. If you smoke for the pleasure of smoking, even cheap cigars, stay away from this one! There's nothing pleasurable about it.El Jefe in Warren, PA March 1, 2013
"The #1 Rocky"
I was always partial to VUDU, Patel olde world, and his other great cigars, but this one was the sweetest, fruitiest, and most enjoyable of all. I reccomend this stick to all my friends, and wont give them out, their too good to be shared....shhh! dont tell anyone that.jimmy in logan utah November 19, 2012
"No so Rooky"
A little disappointing. I smoked the first 2 the first weekend the burn was awful. Without puffing every 10 seconds I had to relight it at least 5 times. I put the rest of them in my humidor for the next two months and smoked them slowly during that time and the burn improves but wrap tends to fall apart at the end. Best thing I can say about this cigar is the taste.Steve D in St. Louis July 2, 2012
This is a terrible cigar, Hard draw, uneven burn, doesn't burn long enough to taste, tight construction makes a hard, if not impossible, draw. A true disappointmentin June 2, 2012
"Lost his touch"
A few years back everything that came out of Rocky's stable was superb. This smoke and a couple others lately are glorified Matacans.ex-Rocky fan in Virginia May 25, 2012
"One of the best tasting..."
I thought that this was one of if not the best RP I have smoked. You have to watch the cigar and make sure to rotate to get an even burn but the taste is excellent.Shane in Severn, MD January 21, 2012
"Rocky can and does do better, but not this cigar."
It is really hard to like a cigar that burns uneven and has to be relit.you can only bite the bullet so much.Timothy L. in Fresno,Ca September 10, 2011

SHERMAN, TX --Police are looking for suspects after a man says someone fired a gun into his house early this morning.
A resident on East Pecan Street says he woke up to the sounds of breaking glass and then saw bullet holes in his house. He says he is lucky no one in his family was hurt.
"Maybe 12:30 at night, I was sleeping," says Sherman resident Jose Hernandez Sanchez, who showed us a bullet hole in his bathroom door and a bullet hole in his front window. "Very scary for my wife, my family."
Sanchez found his shower door shattered in pieces and called police. Officers say they found evidence that a bullet had been fired through the house.
"It was quiet and then all of a sudden, bam, bam," says Tony Cerda, who says he was falling asleep when he heard the gunfire. "It was quiet after that, I didn't hear anybody running I didn't hear anything other than the car speeding off just a few seconds after that."
Police say given that a shot was fired through a home with a family inside, it is very lucky that everyone escaped unharmed. "Nobody was injured during this, but it is one of those things that is very dangerous," says Sgt. D.M. Hampton. "Obviously, when you've got a bullet that's penetrating through several walls and you have adults and children that are inside of a residence, somebody could have been seriously injured or killed."
Sanchez believes someone may have fired right through the open bathroom window. Police are investigating where the bullet came from. "If the person was in a car or on foot that hasn't been determined yet," says Hampton.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact the Sherman Police Department.

A Stevens Point company wants the public to weigh in on a major expansion. A multi-million dollar renovation project is underway at SentryWorld.
The sports complex is closed right now, set to re-open next summer. But until then leaders there want to hear from you.
When it's all said and done, SentryWorld will look a lot different. Business leaders does plan to have tennis courts, along with a pro shop, restaurants, a banquet hall, and a new golf course.
"We have an opportunity with the renovation to think differently then we've thought in the past. We didn't want our thoughts to be limited by past experience. That's why we asked the community to come and share their thoughts with us," said SentryWorld Communications Director Stephanie Smith.
The company hosted the first of three listening sessions to gather feedback. Another is scheduled on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 10 a.m.- noon, and the final session is on Monday, Nov. 5 from 6-8 p.m. You're asked to reserve a session by calling (715) 346-6779.
"I was just curious as to what would be with the tennis courts. From what I gather it sounds like there will be tennis courts, it's just a matter of what they'll be like and eventually how the building will be configured," said Paul Mirman of Stevens Point.
People can also share their opinions online. More than 500 people have taken a survey (http://www.sentryworld.com/).
"Whoever is doing what they're doing is listening to you. At least they are listening to you," said Mirman.
SentryWorld leaders say the expansion isn't just about sports.
"We just want to make sure that as the architects are designing it, it is truly a multipurpose space that can accommodate community events and activities," said Smith.
All suggestions of course, are suggestions, but SentryWorld officials say they'll look at everything, going forward.
Company leaders won't say how much this project costs, but they say it's paid for privately through the company.

If maintaining a healthy marriage takes work in the best of times, what happens when a husband and wife both head off into combat? Today more than 44,000 "dual military" couples find themselves in this almost unimaginably difficult situation. But despite long deployments, high casualty rates, and the stress of combat, divorce rates for couples in active duty hover at about 3 percent -- a far lower rate than for civilian first marriages (half of which end within the first five years). Somehow these brave twosomes are working through the obstacles and thriving. To find out how they do it, we asked four couples to talk honestly about the unique challenges of life in a war zone. What they told us is surprising, tender, and sometimes terrifying.
Nina and Robert
Army Reserve Sergeant Nina Ramon, 25
Army Reserve Sergeant First Class Robert Ramon, 36
Married 3 Years
The cottage where Nina Ramon and her husband, Robert, spent their honeymoon wasn't exactly what they had in mind when they tied the knot just before being posted to Afghanistan: a tiny wooden hut at the edge of Bagram Air Base's main runway. "In the middle of the night mice would come into our shack, crawling over my feet and legs, and I'd scream," recalls Nina. Between the rodents and the 24/7 roar of transport planes and fighter jets, their quarters were "hardly a first-class hotel," agrees Robert.
Robert was on his second deployment to Afghanistan and had served in Bosnia. The Afghanistan mission was Nina's first overseas tour. Eventually the couple managed to make the shack feel like home with curtains, shelves -- and mousetraps baited with peanut butter.
Now back home from a yearlong deployment, the two have volunteered to train military public-relations units that will be sent to Iraq and Afghanistan to do the work they did there. While they were in the war zone Nina and Robert accompanied the media, including CNN, Fox News, and The New York Times, into the field. Because their work was dangerous they were never sent on the same mission, which could last as long as three weeks. Both came under fire two or three times and Robert remembers one trip during which his group was attacked at night and he juggled taking photographs with a night-vision lens and returning enemy fire with his M16.
Back at Bagram Air Base, about 30 miles north of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, life could be dangerous as well. During a 2007 visit by then Vice President Dick Cheney, a suicide bomber in a car blew himself up at the front gate, killing himself and 23 other Afghans and injuring 20 more. "It was an hour before each of us knew the other wasn't dead," says Robert. "Both of us were really worried."
Nina and Robert agree that experiencing life-and-death situations only strengthened their bond. "I feel so lucky that we were together," says Robert. "After my first deployment no one back home understood what I'd been through. Now, when we hear a loud noise, like a car backfiring, we both jump -- and we both know why."
Air Force Captain Lori Caloia, MD, 30
Air Force Major Jeffrey Ray, 38
Married 2 Years
One early morning over Iraq, Jeffrey Ray's F-15 fighter jet was taking on fuel, tethered in midair to a tanker, which refuels other planes while in flight. He glanced up and spotted his wife, a flight surgeon, in the tanker's cockpit. "The sun was just coming up, and I could see Lori looking down at me," he recalls. "We could hear each other's voices on the radio."
Since Air Force regulations forbid married personnel from living together during deployment, that moment was one of the most intimate the couple had while overseas. Nor was any physical contact permitted between Jeff, a weapons systems officer, and Lori, a physician who cares for flight crews: They weren't even allowed to see the inside of each other's living quarters.
"I couldn't hold Lori's hand, stroke a strand of hair out of her face, or just be alone with her," says Jeff. "Not being able to be together as a married couple was the toughest thing." He flew mostly at night, when Lori was asleep. In the mornings she'd find a note from him pushed under the door: "I made it home all right. I love you."
Ironically, the situation brought them closer, says Lori. "Overall I would much rather be deployed with my spouse than without him."
The first morning they woke up on their return to the United States was like a dream, Jeff recalls. "She was in my arms, and I kissed her good morning. We didn't have Champagne, but we didn't need it."
Army First Sergeant Stephanie Williams, 36
Army Staff Sergeant Carlos Williams, 35
Married 2 Years
Being deployed to different locations in Iraq was tough enough for Stephanie, who's in supply and support logistics, and Carlos, a human resources supervisor, but even worse was the separation from their four children. "We miss watching movies together, going to church," says Carlos. "We miss being a family."
Stephanie worries about the effect of their deployments on the kids; both she and Carlos have been overseas twice. She had never been in a conflict zone during the 10 years she'd served before the United States invaded Iraq. "Then suddenly, in 2003, I was being sent to war, and my son Jah-Kari was only 2. Boy, that was hard! This deployment was rough because our children are old enough to understand that war is where people can get hurt. When I'm home they ask if someone will shoot me when I go to the store." She reassures them that God will protect her -- and hopes they believe her.
Having a wife still in a war zone has been particularly tough on Carlos, especially when he can't reach her. He was terrified one day last year when rockets hit her base. "I'm the husband, and I'm supposed to protect my wife," he says. "But I can't do that from here, and it hurts."
Stephanie and Carlos pray that they'll soon both be home at the same time. And despite the hardships, Carlos credits the Army with saving his life. "I was immature and getting into trouble when I saw a recruitment ad on TV," he recalls. "The Army made me grow up. And then I found Stephanie."
Army Captain Keegan Keller, 27
Army Captain Anthony Keller, 31
Married 5 Years
Tony Keller has one of the most dangerous jobs in Iraq: He is the commander of a cavalry troop conducting counterinsurgency operations, raids, and intelligence gathering. His unit comes under fire several times a week. Tony, who's on his fourth deployment, would prefer to keep the goriest details from his wife. But until Keegan's recent retirement from the Army, her job was tracking all battlefield personnel from Army headquarters in Tikrit. So she was the first to know about casualties. "When I learned about a sniper attack on Tony's unit, my heart stopped," she recalls. "At first I knew only that an officer had been shot but didn't know who." At such times, she says, her solace is prayer.
The Kellers were separated in Iraq by a risky 45-minute helicopter ride, which one of them made every couple of months, just so they could be together for a single day. When Keegan flew in from Tikrit to see Tony in Balad, it was his turn to pray. Once they were in Tony's quarters, a tiny trailer, the couple cuddled up "to do a whole bunch of nothing," recalls Keegan. "But we did it together, and it was wonderful."
Now that Keegan is no longer in the Army the Kellers are focused on starting a family. "When I was deployed it was hard enough for me to leave our two yellow Labs, Hank and Lilly, in my parents' care," Keegan says. "I cried for an hour straight on the drive to the base. I can't imagine leaving a baby."

Sen. Barack Obama's (D-IL) acceptance speech last night reached a quarter of America's households, according to Nielsen Media Research. In all, with over 38 million viewers, "more people watched Obama speak than watched the Olympics opening ceremony in Beijing, the final 'American Idol' or the Academy Awards this year." The AP notes that "Obama's audience might be higher," since Nielsen didn't estimate how many people watched on PBS or C-SPAN.

AP Hit Piece: 'Bush Staff' Nixing Bomb Detection?
In "Bush staff wanted bomb-detect cash moved," AP writer John Solomon took what was a common request for a re-direction of funds from one thing to another and turned it into an overarching plot by the Bush administration to materially harm Homeland Security. Worse, he tried to contrast this everyday Washington budget activity to the terror plot in England to leave the reader with a feeling that Bush was trying to allow terrorists to get away with the kinds of plots that the Brits uncovered.
"WASHINGTON - While the British terror suspects were hatching their plot, the Bush administration was quietly seeking permission to divert $6 million that was supposed to be spent this year developing new homeland explosives detection technology."
"While the British terror suspects were hatching their plot"? As if the Bush administration knew that these terrorists were "hatching their plot" as they went about the regular business of administering the government!
After that lose linking of the British terror plot to the funding diversion request of $6 million from the Homeland Security research arm -- called the Sciences & Technology Directorate -- the report briefly mentions that the department has $200 million it hasn't even spent and that Congress rescinded that amount because it wasn't spent.
We are left imagining that Bush wanted to take away all the funds for the kind of bomb detection devices that could stop a British type terror plot here. Yet, as the report continues it reveals how paltry that request of a $6 million diversion was by reporting how large that budget for detection devices is.
"Homeland Security is spending a total of $732 million this year on various explosives deterrents and has tested several commercial liquid explosive detectors over the past few years but hasn't been satisfied enough with the results to deploy them."
$6 million from $732 million does not seem too great a deficit. So, Bush wasn't trying to strip the bomb detection research of that much of its funding!
Worse still, we have to get nearly to the end of a long piece to find out what they wanted that $6 million diverted for in the first place.
"It asked to take $6 million from Homeland S&T's 2006 budget ... to cover a budget shortfall in the Federal Protective Service, which provides security around government buildings."
Seems like a legitimate request to me. An extra $6 million to protect public buildings? $6 million from a budget of $732 million? That seems a tiny diversion for a purpose that isn't out of the ordinary. Couple that with the fact that money is moved from one place to another every single day in Washington and we end up with a big "ho-hum" story that is trumpeted as some sort of apocalyptic Bush failure.
Besides, the Senate's homeland appropriations committee and the House's committee rejected the request last month anyway, so it is a dead issue.
Finally, after reading the article, one realizes that most of the people quoted in the piece are Democrats. Of course they are against Bush's requests.
All in all, this was just an excuse for the AP to make Bush out as someone who doesn't really care about Homeland Security! A hit piece, plain and simple.

Along the riverbanks of Rhine and in the midst of the Rheinland forest, sits the ancient fortified castle of Stromburg turned luxury hotel and restaurant. Husband and wife team Sylvia and Johann Lafer, both celebrated chefs, turned the ancient premises into a place of warm luxury and a respected gastronomic destination. To get the castle, guests pass by a 15-minute scenic drive through the Bingen forest. The interiors of the castle are rooted in tradition but provide all the luxurious comforts of a modern hotel. The restaurant serves one of the finest cuisines in the region and is well acclaimed throughout Europe.
A household name in Germany, Chef Johann Lafer pioneered cooking shows in Germany and most of his shows are filmed and produced in the castle. He is frequently shown on German television and is one of the country's first celebrity chefs. His philosophy revolves around the use of high quality, fresh produce, and noble ingredients with origins that can be traced from production to the very moment it gets to his kitchen. Chef Lafer draws inspiration from tradition and the countryside and is influence by French, Italian, Mediterranean, and Asian cooking. Typically, the product itself is what gets Chef Laher's imagination going. He believes that besides the flavor and the texture, the terroir itself is what makes the product unique and from there, one can take a journey of the senses.
Some of his specialties include Larded liver served on a rosette of caramelized apples, Roe buck fillet cooked in Indes-verbana vapour, Stuffed mushrooms with bilberries and glazed chestnuts, and the famous Tête de nêgre.
The convergence of tradition and history, the fortified castles, the vineyards, all make of the Rhine banks such a wonderful region. Nowadays, it is The German Embassy in Paris, which appeals to Chef Johann Lafer and calls upon his services to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Berlin Wall Fall.

A team of 45 people in Poplar Bluff is trying to lose 1,700 pounds in eight weeks.
If they reach their goal, their names will be in the Guinness Book of Records for weight loss.
So far, the team has lost 585 pounds and they're only two weeks into the program.
Their trainer says it's all about staying motivated, which can lead to a major life-change.
"Just for self-confidence more than anything," said Bart Smith, a personal trainer. "When you start getting unhealthy, it's easy to get into that rut. When you get caught in that rut and get caught in a lifestyle, it's so easy to get hung in it. But when people get in here, and even if they're not losing weight, but when they come into the gym and start exercising properly, eating better, you feel so much better."
The team members say it's a long road but they're not quitting until they reach the goal.

One of the world's largest file-sharing websites, LimeWire, has been shut down by a U.S. judge after a legal battle that lasted four years.
In what is being called a significant victory for the record industry, New York District Judge Kimba Wood issued a permanent injunction and ordered the service to stop supplying software and to block any sharing of unauthorized files.
The ruling, which was 17 pages long, required the file-sharing website to "disable the searching, downloading, uploading, file trading and/or file distribution functionality, and/or all functionality of the software."
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which originally filed the copyright complaint against LimeWire in 2007, will reportedly now seek damages that could exceed $1 billion, according to the Daily Mail.
In the copyright lawsuit, the RIAA claimed that LimeWire's software had been downloaded from the site more than 200 million times, with more than 98 percent of download requests having been for unauthorized files.
The RIAA described the file-sharing site's actions as "rampant" copyright infringement that took place on a "massive scale," according to the news provider.

This is my final play analysis for my project of analyzing every play of the 2nd drive against Nevada. This project began as a way to turn my awful feelings regarding the Cal offense into legitimate and productive conclusions. We all, I'm sure, felt like the offense was horrible and stagnant; but was it the OL? the playcalling? really good defense?
I wanted to know for sure, so I decided to take one of the stinkiest drives of the day, one that in 6 plays went all of 2 yards, and really break it down and assign blame.
In this final post, I analyze the final play of the drive and then summarize what I think we've learned. There are also cats. Links to the other posts and the fateful 3rd and long after the jump!
3rd and 14 from the Cal 42.
How did we get here? Check out the first five posts in the series:
Play One: A read-option disrupted by a stunting DT.
Play Two: An unsuccessful underneath slant pass to the TE.
Play Three: An underneath pass to the RB that gets a first down.
Play Four: A play-action swing pass to the WR that fails due to gravity.
Play Five: A play-action pass to the TE on an out route that is misthrown.
Big time play here. A first down will extend the drive, keep Nevada off the field, and increase our chances for winning! Gut check meme time. Will we be cat or baby?
Cat attack baby remix (via jfeala)
Okay. Now that we're in the spirit, let's get this play going!
We come out in the no-huddle again. Quick! Cat ambush strike force awesome before they know what we're doing!
Doh. A penalty for 12 men on the field. Not much to analyze here but the pleading way Bridgford is begging somebody to get off the field. That's what I look like when I'm trying to get my cats to quit tearing up the furniture and use their expensive, and neglected scratching post instead. If the analogy holds, whomever Bridgford is talking to has his claws in the couch and is looking at Bridgford with a cute, but uncomprehending, ignorance.
3rd and 19 from the Cal 36 yard line.
Okay, let's try it again. Cat or Baby? Which will we be?
Here's the video:
Um. I think someone's diapers need changed.
So, the play wasn't successful. It was some kind of pass that Bridgford sort-of throws away. There's a holding penalty as well. And coupled with the 12-men on the field penalty, this is pretty much as fail boat a play as it gets. Two penalties and a incomplete throw-away pass that still almost gets picked.
What the hell happened? Let's look closer, shall we?
Here's the pre-snap:
I can't see the numbers, but we clearly have 5 players wide, and the QB in the shotgun. KA is at the top of the screen. There may or may not be a cat in the bushes.
The defense is in their 4-3 look again. With one exception, this has been the defense Cal has seen the whole drive. But is it zone or man? Will there be a blitz? The next picture should be revealing.
This is just after the snap, and it appears the defense is going into their standard 4-deep zone. We have seen it on almost every play of the drive so far. They rush 4, drop the linebackers into 3 zones short, and the secondary takes the 4 deep zones. There may be wrinkles to this--the announcer seems to think they are in man defense here, but I'm not sure why.
So what are the routes? This is my reconstruction based on the evidence available. There may be some inaccuracy with the bottom two routes, as I can't see them at all.
The receiver at the top of the screen, KA, is on a fly route, I think, but comes back to the ball when Bridgford gets in trouble.
I think Bridgford targets the receiver running the post pattern (the second from the top) first. The receiver was probably trying to get between the middle deep zones. The LB chases him and vacates his zone, but you can see him, #42, at the end of the play trying to return to his zone (I think).
A lot of this is obviously speculative. You see what I'm trying to work with here, right?
Okay, so it looks like the QB is trying to get the ball deep downfield to one of two deep routes. Obviously this doesn't happen. Why? The answer is on the line.
Here's a close-up video of the Nevada pass rush:
It's not a great video, I know. Did I mention I'm using only the crappy software that came pre-installed on my computer to do this? I'm sure you couldn't tell.
When we look at the pass rush, it's a pretty standard 4-man rush against a 5-man line. Yet the RT gets beat by the DE. How does this happen?
Let's do this comic book style:
The DE first shows a speed rush to the outside. This has been our RT's weakness in the past. But the RT is ready for it, and shifts to the right.
Then this happens.
Ruh roh. The DE jukes the
TE RT, and cuts back in, but that's not all!
Not only does the DE cut back inside, but he raises his right arm to the heavens. This is what I think is called a swim move, because it looks like the DE is doing a freestyle crawl with his arm. Why is the swim move effective?
It gets his shoulder past the RT's shoulder, meaning that the RT suddenly finds himself behind the DE. And you can't block someone from behind him, you can only hold him. Which is a penalty. Which is what the RT does.
Still, it leads to this:
The DE jumps out in front of the play and the QB pulls down the ball. Not only does the DE disrupt the pass, but he's also held by the tackle, meaning the play doesn't work in two ways.
With absolutely no evidence, I'm going to say that Bridgford had a man open on the deep post route and was about to hit him in stride for a touchdown. What kills this play is that the DE makes an excellent cut and swim move on our senior standout RT.
1. Nevada's D-line, in this instance, clowned our O-line. A four man rush shouldn't produce that much pressure against a five-man blocking scheme.
2. On obvious passing downs, MSG needs help. I've read before that our RT has trouble with quick pass-rush DEs. Here, we see evidence of it--he just isn't shifty enough to handle their best pass rusher (and we will see better this season). I wonder if we don't see more double teams on the outside, and see if our LT can handle the one-on-one.
3. Having written that, it strikes me that the pass-blocking assignments might be geared for a left-hander (Maynard). If Maynard was in, the double-team would have been on the blind side. With Bridgford, the righty, he couldn't see that the RT had been beat until it was cat ambush time.
4. Nevada appears to be in soft and deep zone coverage yet again. There were passes to be had, but the pressure forced Bridgford out of the pocket.
Okay, that's it for that play, and for the drive! So what about this awful awful drive?
1. We wanted to throw it short and to the left.
On the five passing plays, Bridgford reads the left side of the field every time. It seems like I referred to #42 (Nevada's ROLB) more than any other player. We really wanted to attack his zone, but weren't able to complete passes.
2. We never really tried to run.
On this drive, even though we opened up with a read-option, we followed it with five consecutive passing plays into cover 4 zone coverage. Two of these had to do with down and distance, but the other three could have been runs. Given that there were only 7 defenders in the box, and 4 playing at least 10 yards deep, I would have liked to have seen more attempts to attack with the run.
3. Bridgford had trouble with accuracy.
4. The O-Line still has work to do.
The RT, in particular (MSG), misses a block on the read-option that isn't really his responsibility, but still blows up the play. And then, on the 3rd and long, as we've just seen, gets beat. Otherwise, the line held up okay, but were not really tested. I worry about what happens when they face more blitzes.
5. The no-huddle seemed to disrupt the offense more than the defense.
One drive-killing penalty. And some really ugly execution on the super-fast up-to-the-line quick plays. Bridgford did not audible once during the drive, and probably wasn't allowed to.
So, in sum, who do I blame for this drive? I think that it is obviously execution problems, but I also think that the offense's job could have been made easier by more balanced playcalling between rush/pass, and by more intuitive play design (routes should not run into each other, play-action should be designed to fool the defender responsible for the main passing target).
But these are my totally unprofessional opinions.
Thanks for reading and for the support! This was a fun first attempt at play analysis! I wanted to get it done before the next game (superstitious about it really), and here it's finished with a half-hour to spare.
And I have to say, this analysis did make me feel a whole lot better. Not about Cal's offense, which was abysmal here, but about being able to know what went wrong. It is no longer free-floating angst, but specific and determinate. Somehow, strangely, that helps.
Go Bears! And may I never have to do something like this again!

I cant believe I'm posting this,but if you truely want a lover who is your best friend you need to become true best friends before you become lovers. This means waiting to have sexual intimacy until you have emotional intimacy. If you dont wait, move on to the next.

Zmags Video Production and Voiceover
When Nathan Nickel joined our team, we knew were getting an incredible web designer who recently graduated from Ball State University. However, we totally underestimated Nathan's talent. Nathan also does video and sound mixing as well. When our customer, Zmags, recently released a new version of their digital publishing viewer, we needed to also remix their video.
The real challenge was that we didn't have a month to work on it… we had a couple days to break up the original video, insert the new imagery and effects, and apply a new voice over and sound track. Marty captured all the requirements, Nathan did all the audio and video work, and we worked with Rich Cunningham on the voice over. And we were able to release it by deadline!
Congratulations team! Well done!

Apple TV (2nd generation)
Reviewed by coffeebot3000 (Currently owns)
I've been using the Apple TV 2 for about two years now. My first big surprise was when I actually got it. I'd thought it would be the same size as the first Apple TV. The size and design are great. Very basic and sleek. Since it's black, it hides out of the way easily.
I specifically wanted this device because I knew I was going to jailbreak it. I have a lot of DVDs and video files which I didn't want to convert to the iTunes library, and jailbreaking it let me stream the movies from my iMac to my TV finally. There isn't a lot of worthwhile content for someone like myself, living in Japan. Again, thanks to a hack and installing XBox Media Center, I've been able to stream a lot of TV shows that I otherwise wouldn't be able to watch here.
Also, since all my content was on another computer, it constantly had to be running in order to stream files. Everything came together when I bought an Airport Extreme and connected an external drive to it with all my files. Now, I'm able to stream content directly through the router.
The controller is small and almost awkward to hold, and recently pushing the down arrow seems to work only half the time. Luckily, the iPhone has a great control app for the Apple TV.
My advice is if you have everything already in itunes, like purchased music and movies, or you plan on jailbreaking the device, it's a fantastic accessory for the home. At only $100, it's also one of the cheapest accessories you can buy to make your entertainment center better.

Student finds passion for health-care policy
When sociology student Tuba Agartan defends her doctoral dissertation this month, it'll be a little like she's giving birth for the second time in two years.
Last year, Agartan and her husband, Kaan, welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Saba. Agartan's pregnancy was difficult; she spent the last two months of it on bed rest. "It was a terrible time," she said. "I haven't ever prayed that much."
Agartan planned to write her dissertation before Saba's birth, but ended up working on it while caring for a newborn. "I basically wrote every chapter with her asleep by my side," she said.
The dissertation is a comparative look at health-care reform in Turkey, Agartan's native country. "I look at the politics of health care," she said. "This is a battle that's been going on in every system. All health-care systems are going through cost problems, access problems."
Agartan earned a bachelor's degree in political science and international relations and another bachelor's in sociology at Bogazici University in Turkey before coming to the United States for graduate school.
She has accepted a tenure-track job teaching health-policy management at Providence College this fall. She'll teach Introduction to the American Health-Care System and Comparative Health Policy.
Kaan Agartan, who is also a student in sociology at Binghamton, expects to wrap up his doctoral work within the next year. After that, Tuba Agartan said, she's not sure what's next for their little family. They love the academic environment in the United States, but also want their daughter to grow up with a sense of her larger family and culture.
Agartan said she's fortunate to have found an area of study that's both a hot topic and passionately interesting to her. "It touches on people's lives," she said of health-care policy. "What I say does not stay at the theoretical level. It's not just an academic exercise."

Finally, we have some free agent intel to give us some indication of where we are headed in the future. The Eagles used FA to build a foundation of young winners on the defensive side of the ball to create a competitive and workman like atmosphere moving forward. These types of players that were brought in, can go two ways: They can take that next step as a player and give us more than we bargained for(solidifying their future as BIRDS), or be perfectly adequate space holders until a star at their position is drafted and developed.
Dion Jordan is the only player I want to take at #4, but Im getting worried that He doesnt get passed the Jaguars at #2. So for the sake of this mock, Im going with a trade down scenario. Who better to mock a trade with, than the 2013 team thats mimicking the "SPLASHY DREAM TEAM" Eagles of a couple years back..The Miami Dolphins. They need a CB, and in this mock scenario I have them continuing their splashy ways(trying to sell tickets to get a new stadium), moving up ahead of the Lions to snatch up Dee Milner.
Eagles trade the #4 pick, and a 2014 5th rd pick to the Dolphins for #12, #42(2nd), #139(5th) and a 2014 4th rd pick.
Eagles Draft:
#12: 5tec/NT Star Latululei
#35: S Jonathon Cyprien
#42) RT Kyle Long
#67) G/C Barrett Jones
#89) NT Brandon Williams(if he doesnt last we can always scoop up Montari Hughes)
#129) TE Nick "Do you like girls?" Kasa Colorado...Allegedly we are high on him
#139 CB Brandon McGee University of Miami
7th rd) Denard Robinson
7th rd) Rontez Miles DII Stud Cal(PA).. Big Hitter, compared to Laron Landry, but can play either safety spot and has better speed than some more touted Safety prospect such as Vaccaro,Lester,Swearinger, and Thomas.
Basically, I used out first draft to build how any competant organization would, and solidified us on both sides of the trenches. I also tried to focus on the secondary since we have past injury concerns. The defensive depth would look a little something like this(I expect Hybrid):

One of my goals has been to see a game in every Major League park. Most of the time when I travel, however, I'm almost always going to a family function, and don't have the time to go to a game. Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle, New York, San Diego. Been to them all, seen a game at none of them.
When planning our summer trip, I put my foot down and insisted we go to one baseball game, if not two. It wasn't that much of a fight, since I'm blessed with a wife who tolerates baseball. So tonight we hopped on the Red Line to catch a White Sox game at US Cellular Field.
The game? Eh. You can see by the score that it didn't go so well. US Cellular is a quite nice park, though, and I enjoyed my visit immensely . But on to the recap!
Things never had chance to get going for the White Sox. Before the Star Spangled Banner had a chance to finish echoing, the Twins had jumped on to a 1 run lead with back-to-back doubles by Orlando Hudson and reigning MVP Joe Mauer. They then added to their lead in the 2nd with three separate home runs. Jim Thome, still a favorite in many South Side circles, quickly jacked a solo to lead things off. Two batters later, JJ Hardy splashed down with a solo homer of his own. Mauer wasn't done doing damage, though, and smacked his own two run homer to cap a 4 run inning.
The White Sox would need to counter quickly, or the game would be over before it even properly began. Paul Konerko and Alexei Ramirez got on with back-to-back singles, and the stage was set for everyone's favorite Dead Horse: Carlos Quentin. Did he have it in him to give the Sox a chance? Would he be hero, or goat?
Before I tell you, for those of you that don't watch MLB Network or read other, reputable recaps online, let me first add an aside by the wife, who was angry when she saw how attractive Quentin is. "Another pretty traded away," she huffed, 3 years too late.
Anyways, he made a couple ugly swings. And then, a beauty of a shot that brought everyone home. 5-3.
Lest you think that Freddy Garcia calmed down and was a stabilizing influence for the Sox, he was pulled the next inning after only get one out. He was tagged for one more run after his replacement, one Tony Pena, who gave up a sacrifice fly to make the gap 3 runs.
And lest you think that a 3 run deficit is hardly anything to worry about in the fourth inning, Pena promptly gave up another 2 runs. Then another 2 in the 6th. 10-3.
Scott Linebrink decided to get in on the fun as well, giving up 2 runs in the 8th to bring the score to 12-5. Although things wouldn't end well for the White Sox, at least they got to tee off a bit on Mr. Jon Rauch, who was heartily heckled by me (and a little by my wife) to the point that a Twins fan sitting next to us asked, "Did you have a bad experience with him?" You don't even know the half, lady.
He only gave up one run, though, so not a completely Rauchian performance.
It truly was a D'backs game, though, and not just the crushing realization in the 4th that this game wasn't winnable. We saw the former Diamondbacks: Quentin, Hudson, Pena, and Rauch. Too bad Edwin Jackson wasn't the starter.
Least Like a D'back: Carlos Quentin (13.2%)
Most Like a D'back: Freddy Garcia (-33.8%)
Not a very active Game Day Thread, with only 2 participants. soco led the way, with probably way too many. He was joined by: mrssoco.
Overall, it was a enjoyable experience even if the team we were rooting for got blown out. Taking the train to the stadium was great, and I wished I lived close enough to the light rail in Phoenix to take advantage. US Cellular was a nice park, full of interesting little touches but minimal on the fuss. I had a Polish with grilled onions, and it was amazing. I liked being outdoors, as well, even if it was incredibly humid. Definitely recommend if you're looking to see a game in Chicago.

Late Monday afternoon, Clark County suspended the licenses of three additional clinics run by the same people who own the Endoscopy Center of Southern Nevada.
The businesses are the Desert Shadow Endoscopy Center, 4275 S. Burnham, the Gastroenterology Center of Nevada, also located at 4275 S. Burnham and the Spanish Hills Surgical Center located at 5915 S. Rainbow Blvd.
Read Clark County's Suspension Order
This news from the county comes after the city denied a appeal to reinstate the business license of the Endoscopy Center.
Southern Nevada Health District Hotline is (702) 759-4636 (INFO)
Two of the doctors who own the clinic, along with their attorneys, met with city officials in an appeal lasting for just 45 minutes.
Read The City's Suspension Order Here
In attendance, two of the doctors listed as co-owners of the business, Dipak Desai and Clifford Carrol. They were represented by two attorneys, including Abe Vigil of Lewis and Roca and also prominent defense attorney Richard Wright.
Lawsuits Filed Against Closed Medical Center
The city manager, the director of finance, and the business license director represented the city.
Read the Panel's Decision
While no members of the media or the public were allowed inside, we are told that attorneys for the doctors involved in this clinic did make a presentation.
Read the Health District letter sent to patients
Shortly after the meeting concluded, the results were announced by Mayor Oscar Goodman, "The hearing was basically conducted by those other persons who were part of this ad hoc committee. They rendered the result and any other action will take place in an open forum and the press will always be advised of what we are doing. There are no secrets in the City of Las Vegas."
Health District Sets Up Hotline in Hepatitis C Scare
The appeals process is over as far as the city is concerned. Under the city code, the attorneys for the Endoscopy Center can take the suspension to District Court within the next 10 days.
If the center does not appeal, the city says the right to appeal is deemed waived.
Add your comments to the LasVegasNOW Blog
Nobody on behalf of the medical clinic was talking. In fact, the doctors waited in a side hallway before the hearing began to try to stay out of the view of news photographers.
Questions to ask your doctor
Eyewitness News placed a call to attorney Abe Vigil after the city announced its decision, but the call was not returned.

Dog bites woman in Redditch
7:20pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News
A WOMAN who was trying to protect her dog after another tried to attack it was bitten on the face and hand in Redditch.
The incident happened at about 7.30pm on Monday (FEB 10) when the woman, who is in her 40s, was with her own dog on a footpath at the back of Holyoakes Close, near the Winyates Centre.
A man was walking with two Staffies, one white and the other brindle coloured, which were not on leads and approached the woman's dog. As she tried to protect her dog by picking it up it was attacked by one of the Staffies who then bit the woman causing injuries to her face and one of her arms.
The man with the Staffies ran off towards the Winyates Centre.
An ambulance was called to the scene and the woman's injuries were treated by paramedics.
Police now want help to trace the owner of the Staffies who is white, thought to be around 35 years old, of medium build and with short dark hair. He was wearing a dark jacket, black and white jumper and dark trousers.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on the non-emergency number 101, or by contacting Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Unfortunately, the paywall is back, but great news for us! Are we getting healthy in time for a playoff run? (Whatever...just a run then?) Who goes? I suspect Joensuu and Colliton. KP has made the Lawson question tricky. Colliton/Joensuu/Sim could get BPT back up to speed too. Good problems to have for a change! The bad news (but of course) is the Rahk suffered a concussion...(hey at least he didn't tear a labrum).

Presentation of the Virgin Mary, feast celebrated in the Roman Catholic and Eastern churches on November 21. Based on a legend contained in the Protevangelium of James, a 2nd-century work not included in the Bible, the feast commemorates a visit by the three-year-old Mary to the Temple in Jerusalem, where she was consecrated to the service of God. It was celebrated in the Eastern church in the 6th century but did not become widely accepted in the West until the 15th century. Pope Pius V (1566–72) suppressed it, but in 1585 Pope Sixtus V reestablished the feast.

REDLANDS - Friday's second stage of the Redlands Bicycle Classic - the Criterium - is a fiercely competitive event.
But it may be the Classic's most fan friendly attraction as well.
Cylcists go all out in these timed races, following a short course through Downtown Redlands that features plenty of upclose fan viewing opportunities.
"It's tightly grouped and they go all at one time," Redlands Bicycle Classic race director Eric Reiser said. "Generally it is more fan friendly than any other type of racing."
The criterium is one mile in length and features nine turns, cyclists start in a pack but can reach up to 40 miles an hour in straightaways. And cyclists have to negotiate tight turns as well.
The criterium for women is 60 minutes and the criterium for men is 90 minutes, spectators will move from spot to spot during the event to get different views of the race.
"In my point of view, it's the most exciting race to watch," Redlands Bicycle Classic President Dan Rendler said. "They come around every few minutes and if you are on the side where they come by, you better hold onto your hat because they will come by real fast."
The Redlands Bicycle Classic criterium course is somewhat unique because of the turns - nine in all.
"It's a more technical course than the standard four turn course," Rendler said. "It's not typical. Most criteriums do not have that many turns. That is what makes this so unique. And the riders really love it."
For obvious reasons, the criteriums favor the sprinters. There are no hills and it was designed for for speed.
"There are different type of cyclists," Reiser said. "Some are climbers, some are sprinters. The criterium favors the sprinters. It really allows them to showcase their skills."
Sunday's Sunset Road Race is an attraction for fans as well.
"The difference, the Sunset Road Race is really family friendly because they can sit in one spot and do a barbecue and just watch," Rendler said. "But for the sheer spectator aspect of the sport, the criterium is really where you can get that thrill and excitement."
The 2011 Redlands Bicycle Classic criterium winners were Theresa Cliff-Ryan (59:43) and Roman Van Uden (1:28.34).
