Spenco used to make a "backpacker" insole that was…
Price Paid: Can't remember
Spenco used to make a "backpacker" insole that was fabulous. I liked it better than my Superfeet. I have high arches so need great support there, but also need some cush in the forefoot. I must be one of the few people who liked it because they've quit making it as far as I can tell.
I've tried this "hiker" insole and while it has arch support, it doesn't provide any other support at all. Almost too cushy, making me feel unstable.

Let me paint a situation for you. You're a big game hunter, you've killed a few big cats, but nothing quite as fierce as a lion. You're currently out hunting a lion who has been on a murderous rampage. You're feeling pretty confident, when all of a sudden the lion leaps from concealment, knocking your gun out of your hands. The lion then proceeds to rip you apart. That really sucks for you, doesn't it? Well, that is the situation most people are expecting to happen when the Niners go into Detroit on Sunday. However, it is quite possible that an alternate situation happens, where the hunter says heck with this, drops his gun, and proceeds to rip the lion apart with his bare hands. After the jump, I will explain why the alternate situation is the more likely one.
1. Greg Roman, Brad Seely, Vic Fangio, and Jim Harbaugh
You have to remember, we have an offensive co-coordinator who learned from a CIA guy. He can and will find and exploit Detroit's weaknesses. Heck, if we're going with the CIA side of things, I may as well say that he'll use Alex Smith like an unmanned drone aircraft: sitting back and picking off the Lions pass by pass. Funny thing is, that's probably what will happen. Detroit's defensive line has been one of the best in the NFL this year, and until last Sunday they were playing without Nick Fairley! So expect our running game to be a non-factor, and expect Smith to pass a lot (likely out of the shotgun if things get too ugly).
Brad Seely wears glasses. Some people say this is to make him look more scholarly. The truth however, is that he wears glasses to shield normal human beings from the extraordinary intelligence shining from his eyes like laser beams. In short, he does genius stuff on special teams (the way we line up for kick-offs for example) and coaches one of the best special teams units in the NFL. This will play a big part in this game. If our offense has good field position, we'll only need to move the ball a short way before David Akers can kick a field goal. 3 points could well be the deciding factor in this game. Field position also makes a difference in that Calvin Johnson is at his most deadly when in the red zone. Keep him out of the red zone for as long as possible and you give yourself a good chance at winning.
Vic Fangio is a stone-cold serial killer who eats opposing offensive coordinators for his mid-day snack. He flat-out out-coaches opposing teams. In fact, our whole coaching staff does. Stafford and Johnson don't have a prayer. I'll explain why in number 2.
Jim Harbaugh is a coach who hates to lose more than just about anything. He finds ways to win. It may be ugly, but he does everything he can to give his guys the opportunity to win. Remember, this is the guy who had Toby Gerhart throw a touchdown pass. This is the guy behind Andrew Luck's beheading of a USC defender. This is a guy who took one of the biggest, baddest coaches in his division, flogged him around the block, kicked him in his manhood when he cried out for mercy, and calmly shoved the guy's words back at him when asked "What's your deal?" at the end of it.
2. De-clawing the Lion
Calvin Johnson can rape Chuck Norris AND get away with it. Calvin Johnson is a beast, yes we know, blah blah blah. Forgive me while I go puke out the window of the optimism train. We face "beasts" all the time. We also leave said beasts crying for their mothers when we are through with them. Fitzgerald didn't do diddly-squat against us. Neither did any of Philly's weapons. Neither have any of the running backs that we have faced. We faced the scary Peyton Manning and made him look like a practice-squadder. In fact, I've never seen Manning look so lost and confused as he did when he faced our defense. Remember too, that was when our defense wasn't even as good as it is now!
So how do we stop Johnson? Well I imagine Carlos Rogers will see a lot of him. One thing Rogers seems to do well is watching a lot of film. That my friends, is the key to stopping the Lions. If you watched the Bucs game, you'll have noticed that it looked like our defense was calling their plays and our corners were running the receivers routes. I didn't actually watch the game (was performing in our last matinee for a musical I was in), but others have said that and I saw it myself from watching the 18 minute highlight video on Youtube. However, I didn't need to watch the game to know that. All I have to do is to know the 49ers coaches. They are manically obsessed with with watching film and preparing for their opponents. If we know the Lion's plays, Goldson, Whitner, Willis, and Bowman will be there to lay their guys out all game long. It doesn't matter if Johnson can out-jump everybody as long as we have someone taking him out while he's coming down. Jahvid Best will be a non-factor just because of how good our run defense is. Short passes will be a non-factor because of Whitner, Willis, and Bowman who are just plain scary within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage. That leaves Stafford with having to wait several seconds for deeper routes to emerge. That gives the Cowboy, the Ape, the Sandwich Gangsta, Big Mac, and Brooks enough time to do their thing. I have no doubt that Johnson will catch a few, but it will end up being a non-factor. Our D-Line and LB's can take care of their RBs, QB, and TE's. Culliver can handle Burleson or Titus Young no problem. That leaves Whitner, Goldson, and Carlos Rogers to beat up on Calvin Johson. In the end though, I don't think Stafford will make it through the whole game. I really don't. So stop talking to me about Calvin Johnson and the scary Lions offense. Most importantly, remember this...
3. Vultures...
After our defense finishes slaying the lion, that leaves Alex Smith and our offense to pick apart the bones. The Lions front line is pretty darn scary, I'll admit. but we have been operating with basically 7 offensive linemen. That should help in wearing them down. If their pass-rush proves to be a problem, look for a healthy dose of screens to Gore and Hunter, and slants to Kyle Williams. The Lions secondary really isn't that great. Look for Alex Smith to have a big day. The key here will be the performance of our wide receivers. If Williams, Crabtree, and Ginn are having problems with dropping balls or getting jammed at the line of scrimmage, things could get really ugly really fast. That would bring it down to a scrappy fight to the finish. If it comes down to it, I'm pretty confident in Akers and Ginn with their play on special teams to decide the win for us.
Quote of the Week
There is a video that I would very much like to post here because I feel like it fits this game perfectly. However, it's so much about God that I'll leave it out. Just a bit too glaring to be included here. However, I will quote part of it:
"In about 5 minutes we head out for the warmup. I want to say two things. Number one I love you and I'm proud of you. I wouldn't trade this season for anything in the world. Secondly, you're about to play the biggest team we've ever faced. They're strong, fast, and undefeated...so far.
We weren't supposed to have a winning season, but we do...We aren't supposed to be here, but we are. So if there is anything in you that says this is a losing effort, throw it out.
Who'll go fight the giants with me?" -Coach Grant Taylor ("Facing the Giants")
Closing Thoughts
In a fanpost I wrote at the beginning of the regular season, I predicted as good a season as 10-6, 11-5 for the Niners. At the time, most people thought I was nuts (or just too bold, too soon). Not to brag or anything, but what say you now? I've posted a music video below that does quite well summing up how I feel about the 49ers right now.

Yesterday I had an officer come in to the office for a briefing who normally lives in the centre of London. We got chatting about the bombs and its effect on the city etc. It seems that despite the autorities saying that everyones going about their business as ormal and that theres maybe a 5% drop in visitors or something along those lines it actually looks a lot more than that. The officer estimated it at more like 50%…her main example was the local M&S foodstore that at noon on a Saturday after noon you have to fight throughthe crowds to get to never miond shop in…it was like a ghosttown.
Talking to a few other folk and it seems as thoguh Glasgow is getting effected as well. Last week just after rush hour the underground was almost empty and the atmosphere in Govanhill and Pollockshields seems to be very tense at time. Most people are still going about their business fine but it seems to only be taking one thing to spark and the whole place changes its attitude at once a bit like a school of fish changing direction.
I did smile the other day though when I went past the big mosque beside the Clyde. I'd seen several people earlier in the city centre mouthing off at each other about what had been happening…the usual "fuck off back to where you came from" with the replies of "I was born in glasgow you arsehole". It was a fantastic day with the sun shining down and as the bus drove past the mosque a young mother was sitting in the sun looking relaxed but the 3 kids she had with her were running about with biggest smiles ive seen on kids in ages, two of them asian and one white.
Why is the world so fucked up?

The agency's approval will allow the Naperville Park District to continue working toward obtaining a "no further remediation" letter for the entire site — an effort supported by the City of Naperville, which owns the property.
Phase II of the site remediation will begin later this spring and will include excavation, treatment, removal, and replenishment of the soil within the affected area, which is approximately 17 acres. This area is shown on the above Phase II Remediation Restoration Site Plan and is bounded by a red line and labeled as "Limits of Work."
To prepare for the remediation of the affected soil, the Park District will need to remove plants and trees that are inside the shot fall zone where lead is present.
Following the removal and remediation, the Park District will plant approximately 150 new trees plus shrubs, native vegetation and turf.
The trees outside the fall zone will remain in place. The berm and evergreens along West Street together with the existing vegetation on the perimeter of the site will continue to serve as a buffer between the park and neighboring properties.
The district plans to begin removing the vegetation the week of Feb. 24, weather permitting. Removing the plant material while the ground is still frozen reduces project costs and prevents disruption of birds' nests in the spring.
The attached site plan shows the natural areas and improvements that will follow the remediation later this year.
This plan includes natural area restoration and new walking paths that will allow the public to enjoy more of this unique park. Additional site improvements will include a paved access drive and parking lot, new walkways and trapshooting stations, and the replacement of trap field lighting.

November 2011 issue | Apogee Stadium is first collegiate stadium in nation to earn LEED Platinum designation
Subscribe Unsubscribe
From a UNT News Service press release
Apogee Stadium at the University of North Texas
The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded UNT's Apogee Stadium a LEED Platinum Certification, making it the first newly constructed collegiate football stadium in the nation to achieve the highest level of LEED certification.
"This is a great accomplishment for UNT and strongly underscores our commitment to sustainability," UNT President V. Lane Rawlins says. "UNT is a leader in environmental research and sustainability, and the fact that we have the first LEED Platinum football stadium is an example of our commitment and our plans for the future."
Because UNT uses its buildings for 50-75 years, LEED certified buildings are practical, Rawlins adds. "By building in this manner, the sustainable features of the buildings pay for themselves through their efficiencies within eight years. Plus, environmentally responsible buildings mean healthier buildings with better air quality," he says.
The UNT System led the construction of the stadium, which was designed by HKS Architects and built by Manhattan Construction Company.
"As a university system, we are committed to building campuses that minimize the use of natural resources and don't harm the environment," says Lee Jackson, chancellor of the UNT System. "We want to provide all students, faculty and staff members on our campuses with buildings that are first class in every way, including reduced environmental impact."
The UNT System commitment to building green grew from an initiative by Jackson to construct future buildings to meet or exceed the latest efficiency and environmental standards. The initiative also supports UNT's commitment to sustainability, which was deeply underscored when it became the first large public university in Texas to sign on to the American College & University Presidents Climate Commitment in 2008. There currently are three LEED Gold certified buildings on UNT System campuses -- the flagship campus in Denton, UNT Dallas and the Health Science Center in Fort Worth -- with two more awaiting certification.
The nearly 31,000-seat Apogee Stadium features luxury suites, an amenity-filled club level, a Spirit Store, a corporate deck and a unique end-zone seating area. In addition to hosting UNT events, it will serve the entire North Texas region as a venue for outdoor concerts, community events, high school games and band competitions.
In December, Apogee Stadium will achieve another first with the completion of three wind turbines that will feed the electrical grid that powers the stadium. Using a $2 million grant from the State Energy Conservation Office, UNT currently is installing the wind turbines, making Apogee Stadium the first collegiate stadium designed to incorporate onsite renewable wind energy.

Jessie J Covers Chris Brown's 'Fine China' [Video]
Jessie J brought some blue-eyed soul to Chris Brown's soulful single, 'Fine China.' The shorn singer covered the tune for The Sun, and she nailed it.
Jessie J brought some blue-eyed soul to Chris Brown's soulful single, 'Fine China.' The shorn singer covered the tune for The Sun, and she nailed it.
Rihanna's boyfriend Chris Brown is in legal hot water yet again. No, he didn't beat anyone up recently, this time it has to do with his poor driving habits and his tailgating.
The 2013 Billboard Music Awards were full of stellar performances from stars of every imaginable genre and style -- like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Chris Brown and more!
Next week, 'Law & Order: SVU' will air an episode inspired by Rihanna and Chris Brown's domestic abuse case, in which Brown assaulted Rihanna before the 2009 Grammys.
As satisfying as some of us might find the idea of Adele giving Chris Brown a public scolding during the Grammy Awards, there's just one little problem: Adele says it didn't happen.
On Wednesday, Feb. 6, Chris Brown put on his best non-blood-spattered suit and appeared before a judge who's going to decide if Brown lied about completing his court-mandated probation. And who was by his side but Rihanna, wearing more clothes at once than we've seen her wear ever.
You know what they say: The couple that goes to court hearings together -- so a judge can decide if he violated the probation he got for being the crap out of her -- stays together.
We might be paraphrasing here.
Why is everyone so upset with Rihanna for going back to her boyfriend Chris Brown? Perhaps it's because he was accused of assaulting her. Perhaps it's because he's often accused of assaulting people. Well, he's up to his old tricks again, allegedly.
For someone so averse to talking about her relationship with Chris Brown in interviews, Rihanna has no problem using it to sell records.
Case in point: Days after the release of her Complex magazine cover story, in which she walked out when asked about a duet with her former abuser and current jumpoff, she released the cover art for her single, 'Stay' -- and it features her embracing Brown.
If you love dance parties, but just don't have it in you to physically move for more than 10 minutes without experiencing chest pain, here you go! This pop "danthology" squeezes 55 songs that got stuck in your head at the grocery store this year into eight minutes.
Unlikely BFFs and singers Katy Perry and Rihanna are reportedly having a bit of a tiff right now over a man. And not in the usual way women fight over men in soap operas and sitcoms -- this stems from Rihanna letting abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown back in her life.

Have you wanted to join a book club, but haven't been able to find one that is just right? Why not start your own? A book club is a great way to meet new friends and read good books. This step by step guide will help you start a book club that can last for years.Here's How:
- Get together a core group - It is much easier to start a book club with two or three people who already have some connection. Ask around the office, play groups, or your church or civic organizations. Sometimes you might find enough people to start a book club right away. Often you'll at least recruit some help in completing the rest of the steps. (New to the area? Skip to step three).
- Set a regular meeting time - An ideal size for a book club is 8 - 11 people. As you can imagine, it is often difficult to coordinate that many schedules. Go ahead and set a regular meeting time and date for your book club with your core group. For instance, my book club meets the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30 p.m. By setting the time before advertising the book club, you avoid playing favorites when working around schedules and are up front about what commitment is required.
- Advertise your book club - The best advertising is often word of mouth. If you have a core group of three, and you each know two people who want to join, then all you have to do to start a book club is ask these people. This is a good way to meet friends of friends. If your core group doesn't know of other people to ask, then advertise in your circles of interest (school, work, church) with fliers or announcements. There are often also places to post fliers at the library, book stores and cafes.
- Establish ground rules - Get together with your potential book club members and set the group's ground rules. (You might want everyone's input; however, if you have set ideas of what you want, then set the rules with your core group and announce them at this first meeting). The ground rules should include how books are chosen, who hosts, who leads discussions and what kind of commitment is expected (See Tips Below). If you did not set the meeting time with your core group, do that now.
- Meet - Set a schedule for the first few months and start meeting. If the book club is small at first, don't worry about it. Invite people as you go. Some people will be more likely to join an already established book club because they feel less pressure than they would as a founding member.
- Keep meeting and inviting people - Even if your book club is an ideal size, from time to time you'll have the chance to invite new people as other members move away or drop out. Don't be discouraged if you lose members. People's schedules and commitments change. Hopefully you'll always have a core group, and together you can reload.
Example Ground Rules:
My book club decided that a different person would host each month. The hostess is responsible for picking the book, leading the discussion and providing the meal. If we meet at a restaurant, the hostess buys appetizers and wine. We place no restrictions on what books the hostess chooses--fiction, nonfiction, self-help--everything's fair game. We always take December off from reading and plan a fun event out.
How to Choose Books:
Some groups vote on what books they are going to read at the beginning of the year. Some let the host for the month choose. Some use the bestsellers lists or a national book club--such as Oprah's Book Club--as a guide. No matter how your book club chooses books, you also need to decide if there will be any restrictions on the choices (ie, just fiction, just paperbacks, etc.). Try these book club reading recommendations for help finding great reads and ready to go questions.
Hosting Ideas:
Food is not required, but it helps the discussion roll and makes the book club meetings more fun. Some book clubs meet at a different restaurant each month. Sometimes meetings are held in people's homes. You can choose to have appetizers, a full meal or just dessert. Whether you are out or in a home, I recommend at least having coffee, tea and some snacks. (Check out this sample book club schedule for some suggestions).
Leading the Discussion:
Be sure to check out our ready to go discussion questions on best sellers. Just print out the questions and you're ready to lead.

Thirty-seven rookies, including 13 tryout players, put on a Colts uniform for the first time Friday as the team opened a three-day rookie mini camp. Intermittent rain forced the first day of practice inside at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center.
"The effort was fabulous," said Colts head coach Chuck Pagano after the first on-field workout in shorts and no pads. "They came in in probably better shape than any of us anticipated for what we put them through. We're pleased overall with the first day."
Among the rookies are seven draft picks. First round pick Bjoern Werner wore a white number 92 jersey at outside linebacker. His new head coach liked what he saw from his top rookie prospect.
"Kind of what we thought and probably even better," said Pagano. "He's in great shape. He works out all the time. He's a really athletic football player. He can bend. He's got first step explosion. All the things that we saw on tape, up close and personal now, it's even more impressive."
"It's your job," said Werner after his first Colts practice. "You can do this all day and just focus on it. It's amazing. I was looking forward to this for a while now. This is the best job ever."
Werner is pass rusher from Florida State. He's expected to replace Dwight Freeney and play on the opposite side of Robert Mathis.
"He seems like a really cool veteran who wants to help," said Werner when asked about meeting Mathis, whose locker is just a few down from Werner's. "I hope he does. I'm going to ask him questions."
"He's a really bright guy," said Pagano of Werner. "We threw a ton of material and information at those guys on both sides of the ball. He came out here and wasn't a deer in headlights. He understands and gets football. For playing the short time that he has, he really understands."
Growing up in Berlin, Germany, Werner did not start playing tackle football until he was 15 years old.
Third round draft pick Hugh Thornton, a guard from Illinois, will remember his mother Michele this weekend as he fulfills his NFL dream. His mother was murdered in 2004 in the family's home while Hugh slept in another room.
"There's no better way to celebrate someone than through achievement," said Thornton. "I made it here. I'll be practicing on Mother's Day. I know that my mom is going to be proud looking down on me."
The rookie camp runs through Sunday.
"It's a beginner's mentality for all of us," said Pagano. "It's great for the coaches, starting over. And it's great for these kids."

Former Washington Capital Alexander Semin is the latest NHL player to flee to Russia during the lockout. However, Semin, who signed with the Carolina Hurricanes in the offseason, isn't headed to the KHL, Russia's rival to the NHL, but a minor league team in his hometown that will pay him roughly $1,600 a month, according to one report.
The 28-year-old left wing has long been considered a threat to leave for the KHL regardless of the NHL labor issues, writes CBS Sports. So it seems that Semin's deal with the VHL's Krasnoyarsk Falcon for the league minimum is merely a deal to get the Russian back home so he can better position himself for a long-term KHL contract.
Or ... maybe not:
Semin told Russian paper Sport-Express he signed w/ Krasnoyarsk & not in KHL was bc he wanted to play in front of his 90yr-old grandmother.— David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) September 25, 2012

Pressing Forward
Oct 8, 2009 Daily Writing, Novels
A few words a day makes a difference, though in truth this morning saw very few actual new words. My story is global in nature and takes place in a fairly short span of time, so time zones make a difference. Under the guidelines that one should write like mad when the fire is burning, I have been forging on at certain points where I was uncertain of the effects of this timing.
In other words, as long as I figured it was daytime in [insert favorite setting here], I wrote the storyline around waking times. I could smooth out the edges later.
The last two days I've gotten myself a bit bogged down with things like who should be sleeping and who should be awake. You know, little nits like that. So this morning I bit the bullet and created a full-page diagram of the story along with a world clock that registers the actual time it is at each place around the globe at all moments. This makes things much easier.
Perhaps I should have done that earlier. Dunno.
All I can say for certain is that I've got about 18,000 words behind me and clear sailing ahead. I can live with that.
Oct 3, 2009 Daily Writing
Listening To: Laura Love, Led Zeppelin
(I know, not a pair that would jump to mind)
Good progress this morning. Probably only 1,000 words, but I needed to get some research done, too. These things sometimes take serious thinking and reading time, and this morning gave me that opportunity.
I was recently reading something about the writing process wherein the writer said (and I apologize for not quoting the name at this time–I'll add it back later if I get a chance to) … anyway … the writer said one of the things he liked about the process was that you constantly get to experience the feeling of discovering how to solve a problem that was standing in the way of a story. I can grok it, man. I can grok it.
Oct 1, 2009 Daily Writing, Novels
Restructuring this novel has been interesting. I like its pace now, I like its transitions.
I was thinking about this a couple days ago while I was mowing the yard. What was it that made me realize I hadn't started in the right place to begin with? What was it that made me uncomfortable? It wasn't the writing. The writing was good, I thought…or at least the words sounded good to me inside my head–the technical part of conveying information was solid. I liked the characters, but I admit they were getting to bore me. Maybe that's it, I guess. They were boring me. Maybe that's how I knew.
But it's not really their fault. They are perfectly interesting characters.
What I realized, looking back as I cut swathes of green through my yard, was that I had spent a majority of the first thirty pages in the heads of the characters. This means the opening was a classic series of character studies done via thinly disguised information dumps made semi-necessary due to a combination of where I started and the lack of depth I had built into these characters when I first set out to create this work.
And that, my friends, is a helluva sentence to write this danged early in the morning.
So at present I consider the first 40 or so pages of the first draft to be a good piece of story research, and I've moved on so much the wiser.

Morgan-- A Calhoun County man pleads guilty and is sentenced to eight years in prison for attacking a 13-year-old girl.
In August, 20-year-old Jamison Cheney Scarborough showed up at a house in Morgan where the teenage girl was baby-sitting and tried to have sex with her. Police say when she refused, he tied his t-shirt around her neck and started strangling her. The attack was interrupted when the family returned.

Top 10 moments of Bama Woman vs OU Bro
Updated: January 3, 2014
Bammers. They've proven abhorrent in victory. (Assuming you frown on various tea-baggery-related hijinks performed upon the unwilling. Let alone the unconscious.) And now they're proving abhorrent in defeat, the latest example being that crazy Bama Woman who beat up the OU Bro at the Sugar Bowl. Surely you've seen the video by now, but if not, watch it real quick before reading the rest.
Horrendous, right? But before you categorize this as (yet) another example of reproachable behavior from a downtrodden redneck who's placed WAY too much of her identity / self worth into the bucket of Bama football, I beg you to reconsider.
For there were many extremely impressive elements to this woman's attack. Here are 10 of them.

This FanPost is meant to refresh your memory on the major rules at the site. This is first meant to inform, but I'm also open to discussion on these rules. If you're not sure why we have a certain rule in place or you strongly disagree with a certain rule, feel free to ask/say so in the comments. You are also welcome to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Please Rec this if you get a moment so it stays up top heading into Friday's game.
1. No swearing outside of: 1) game threads, 2) live NFL Draft threads, 3) other threads as specifically allowed
2. No personal attacks on fellow site members. This goes beyond just calling people stupid. If you disagree with somebody, you're welcome to critique the opinion they've expressed, but act with some sort of class in the way you treat others. Flag a comment and move on.
3. For non-NN personalities (players, media, other site editors, etc), you can critique them as much as you want for on and off the field performance and conduct, but let's limit the unnecessary personal attacks.
5. FanPosts: Meant to provide further analysis than a a few lines of commentary on a topic.
4. Picture policy - being further formulated this preseason
The lifting of the lockout and the mad rush that has been 49ers free agency over the last week has led to a lot of new folks joining the site. Additionally, emotions have been running high at times as we have all tried to figure out what the 49ers strategy was throughout this free agency process.
Given those two factors, along with the fact that the new NFL season is just around the corner, now seemed as good a time as any to revisit the site's code of conduct. We have some general policies in place, but I'd like to post them here in some detail so people are all on the same page and we can thus have productive discussions here.
As with any interaction there are bound to be some heated moments, but that is no excuse for treating people with disrespect or act as if you are better than them. The general idea behind this policy is to have a community of people who can either get along with each other, or act like adults and learn to deal with people they may not get along with so well. Some folks may think this should be a free-for-all in which just about anything goes and people simply police themselves. That's now how I choose to operate this site.
First and foremost, the most well-known policy relates to site decorum. This relates to swearing on the site. Swearing is allowed in game threads, open threads during the NFL Draft, and from time to time when deemed appropriate. The philosophy behind this rule is that in posts where there is live action and responses are instantaneous, people react in the moment and that's when swearing is bound to happen.
When the 49ers score a touchdown, turn the ball over, or draft Player X, people react instantly and sometimes that reaction involves an f-bomb. On the other hand, in a mid week post discussing the 49ers red zone defense where you're responding to something somebody posted 20 minutes ago, you can stop and think about what you're trying to say. In that case, you can think about what you want to say and really come up with the optimal comment. Maybe people aren't generally looking to write the "optimal" comment, but this will at least get them thinking in that direction and maybe raise the level of discourse on the site.
There is NEVER a time when personal attacks are warranted. I know when you feel you've been attacked you feel bound to respond. It's an ego thing and I get that. However, outside of someone calling someone else an idiot or something pretty specific, a lot of the attacks we see on the site are as much about misinterpretations of a comment. Often it comes from an attempt at sarcasm or humor.
Sarcasm generally does not translate well on the Internet given the lack of context that can come from inflection and tone. I'm not saying sarcasm is not allowed on the site. Rather, know your audience and simply be cautious of unintended responses.
If you do feel you are being attacked, that is not an invitation to lob back verbal grenades. People do have a right to defend their comments when it comes to the factual or logical background behind them. However, if somebody calls you an idiot, don't simply turn around and call them a name back. I (or one of the moderators) will try and step in immediately if we're in the thread. However, the easiest procedure is to Flag the comment. You can do that by click "actions" next to the reply button and then Flag. It's as simple as that.
Simply put, there is absolutely NOTHING to be gained from getting into a name-calling battle. It takes away from the fantastic discussions we have here, and it focuses in on the individuals instead of the community as a whole.
More than anything, this site is about the community. Nobody, including myself, is bigger than the community. When people start insulting each other and going back and forth, they are making the site about themselves and simply put, that is selfish and will not be tolerated on the site.
FanPosts are a valuable aspect of the community discussion, but there are times when a FanPost is not a necessary post. This Niners Nation 101 post gives you an idea of when something is best used as a comment, a FanShot or a FanPost.
Simply put, a FanPost is meant to open up greater dialogue and generally will involve a bit more detail than a simply three or four sentences. That's not to say a FanPost can't be short and simple. However, ideally you'll go into some solid depth in your FanPost mixing in some of your own analysis or commentary on a subject.
If the moderating staff feels a FanPost is not meeting this standard, they will use the moderating system to issue a warning to you. It's not a disciplinary warning. Rather, it allows them to paste the material of your FanPost in and let you know how it would be better utilized (generally as a comment in an existing thread). The idea is to maintain some level of organization in topic-by-topic discussion.
One issue that has developed is the use of images in posts. Two of the issues with posting images are 1) they tend to slow down threads that have a lot of comments and 2) people forget to use the subject line, which makes it difficult for mobile users.
I'd prefer people limit their use of images in game threads and other huge threads to stuff related to the game. "Rally images" can work but just posting some random picture does not make it a rally picture. I think the more significant problem is people posting a whole bunch of images in a row.
I'm not quite sure how to handle it at this point, although cat pictures remain banished to the Official Community Thread mcwagner creates. Other than that, for now I ask that you limit the number of pictures you post in some of the busier threads (primarily game threads) and if you post images, try and crop them down to smaller sizes, or make sure it's already a smaller image.
We'll use the preseason to see what works best

Germany Won't Prosecute Rumsfeld
- Login to post comments
Dems receive yet another setback with Iraq. Mr Rumsfeld is off the hook with regard to prosecution of war crimes.
...Even though a German law requires German prosecutors to investigate allegations of war crimes even if they are not committed by Germans or in Germans, German Federal Prosecutor Kay Nehm said US authorities bore the initial responsibility to do so.
He added that his office could only act if US officials failed to do so, but said this was not the case. A US organization called Center for Constitutional Rights had filed the complained against Rumsfeld and other high-ranking officials in Germany for the role they played in torture and abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison...
No doubt it will now be up to the dems to carry the water.

Memphis Group
The Memphis Group was an Italian design and architecture group founded in Milan by Ettore Sottsass in 1981 that designed Post Modern furniture, fabrics, ceramics, glass and metal objects from 1981 to 1987.[1]
The Memphis group's work often incorporated plastic laminate and was characterized by ephemeral design featuring colourful decoration and asymmetrical shapes, sometimes arbitrarily alluding to exotic or earlier styles.[2]
On 11 December 1980, Ettore Sottsass organised a meeting with designers and formed a design collaborative named Memphis.[1] The name was taken after the Bob Dylan song "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" which had been played repeatedly throughout the evening's meeting.[1] They drew inspiration from such movements as Art Deco and Pop Art including styles such as the 1950s Kitsch and futuristic themes.[1]
The group produced and exhibited furniture and design objects, annually from 1981 until 1988. The result was a highly acclaimed debut at the 1981 Salone del Mobile of Milan, the world's most prestigious furniture fair.[citation needed]
The group counted among its members Alessandro Mendini, Martine Bedin, Andrea Branzi, Aldo Cibic, Michele de Lucchi, Nathalie du Pasquier, Michael Graves, Hans Hollein, Arata Isozaki, Shiro Kuramata, Matteo Thun, Javier Mariscal, Luciano Paccagnella, George Sowden, Marco Zanini,Ettore Sottsass and the journalist Barbara Radice.[3][4] Sottsass left the movement in 1985 and it disbanded in 1988.[3]
The group's colourful furniture has been described as "bizarre", "misunderstood", "loathed", and "a shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price".[5]
Memphis designs served as inspiration for the Fall/Winter 2011–2012 Christian Dior haute couture collection fashion show,[6] and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld collected Memphis pieces.[7]

Song lyrics to Deborah Crooks' three full-length CDs Adding Water to the Ashes, 2010 and Little Bird. www.deborahcrooks.com
"For almost twenty years the term Americana has been thrown around by music journalists to describe a folkier brand of rock with slight blues and country elements. It is the very term used to describe the music of DEBORAH CROOKS but her newest album Little Bird is so much more than that. With her latest album, the listener is treated to the work of an artist with a wide palette of sounds at her disposal from straight ahead rock n roll to blues and from country to reggae. And lets not overlook those insightful lyrics of hers on such tracks as the bluesy title track, the pleasantly grooving Bittersweet Valentine and the spirited rocker Looking Down the Road. In short, Little Bird is not an album that can be defined by one sound or label. It is quite simply smart and engaging music." — RockWired Magazine
"For anyone currently tired of being pummeled by music and artists always feeling the need to prove something, Deborah Crooks, wants to share a story, and you know she's a good listener. She's not the sort to check her phone while you explain your day, or be dismissive of life's minor tragedies. No, because she'd rather write about the equally small triumphs which make life feel wondrous and worthwhile." — J Rivera, Indie Music

One positive side of the volcanic ash that's shutting down airports around Europe? Beautiful sunsets. Flickr recently blogged about a collection of images taken over the past few evenings, and I couldn't resist sharing the one below, since it has a literary angle. It was taken from Chesil Beach, Portsmouth, in the UK, where an unfortunate honeymoon takes place in Ian McEwan's On Chesil Beach. Perhaps if Edward and Florence had had a sunset like this to admire, things would have turned out differently?

BLOG: Jonathan Cooper is a critical addition for the Arizona Cardinals
PHOENIX - So what does the signing of Jonathan Cooper mean to the Cardinals?
Cooper's presence will be significant to the Cardinals success on offense. Getting your first round pick into camp is critical every season, but with so many historical problems on the offensive line, it's important to give your lineman as much opportunity to jell and get to know each other as possible.
Backing up a few days, on Thursday, the Cardinals signed eight year veteran Eric Winston. A huge offensive tackle (6'7", 302 lbs.) Winston has been a starter in the league for seven seasons. The addition of Winston signified how concerned the Cardinals are with the current situation in the offensive line, even after drafting Cooper.
Now that Cooper is under contract, the new coaching staff can start working on developing an offensive line that has clearly underperformed over the last several years. In 2012, the Cardinals were last in rushing yards per game (75.3) and first in sacks given up (58), while finishing number one in interceptions (21) and 31 st in touchdown passes (11). Clearly, the offensive line was less than stellar. The ten rushing touchdowns the Cardinals scored in 2012 ranked in a tie for 21 st, so it's clear to see that improvement was needed.
Now that Cooper is in camp, the Cardinals can start to work on assembling an offensive line that can hopefully help new quarterback Carson Palmer stay upright. Palmer threw for over 4,000 yards last season with the Raiders, but he's not known as a very mobile quarterback.
With Cooper and Winston added to the mix, and Levi Brown returning from injury, Coach Arians is hoping he's done enough to improve the situation on offense. On a side note, the Cardinals haven't had a Pro Bowl offensive lineman since Lomas Brown in 1996. That's a long run without a Pro Bowl caliber player on your roster.
With the addition of Cooper and Winston, the starting lineup will probably look something like this: Levi Brown at Left Tackle, Jonathan Cooper and Left Guard, Lyle Sendlein at Center, Daryn Colledge at Right Guard and Eric Winston at Right Tackle. Now that could develop into a formidable offensive line if everyone stays healthy. And with Levi Brown coming off a torn bicep, so if Brown doesn't develop during training camp, we could see Nate Potter get the snaps at Left tackle.
But regardless how it all shakes out, having Cooper in camp can only mean improvement in the offensive line play.

Steve Berkowitz: Pac-12 Schools Will See Big Payday From TV Deals
The estimate, premised on the SEC continuing without a conference-owned network and again having 15-year deals, would give the SEC more guaranteed TV revenue than any college athletics conference: an average of nearly $25 million per school per year over the full contract term ($5.2 billion total). However, the Pac-12's full ownership of national and regional networks that have lined up substantial distribution before their scheduled launch in August, indicates that the conference is on track to generate at least $30 million per school per year over the 12-year term of agreements with ESPN and Fox that begin later this year ($4.3 billion total). Only the money from ESPN and Fox — an average of about $21 million per school per year — is guaranteed, though. And because of the networks' start-up costs the actual per-school revenue the first few years is likely to be well below the projected annual average.

As we all know, a lot has been made of our beloved Chelsea's lack of reliable goal-scoring strikers. As 2nd favourites for the title, we ought to have at least one striker who consistently scores and makes his place in the eleven his own, much like Hazard, JT, Cech, Ivanovic and our now vacuum of Drogba have. So far we simply get short, energetic bursts from each of our 3 strikers. This is well documented and illustrated by Eto'os hat-trick v Manchester United, and Torres has in lesser quantities against Schalke this season.
Our Premier League rivals, as we all know too well, and I feel obliged to remind you again, have the desired reliable strikers: Man City- Negredo, Dzeko and Aguero. Manchester United- Rooney, Hernandez, R V-P and Welbeck (6 goals in 6 games in December before you argue), Liverpool- 'SAS' of Suarez and Sturridge, and of course Arsenal have a so far injury-free Oliver Giroud and Bednter's heading. Even Spurs' Adebayor is scoring now?!
Well what do we do? Splash the cash on Diego Costa, Jackson Martinez, Ibrahimovic, or even an expensive loan move for Falcao? Nah... I believe our current crop of Ba, Eto'o and El Niño will suffice for the season. The title, or at least a cup, this season should be well within our reach with the rest of the team performing so well behind them. We're managing quite well so far, even by our lofty standards.
It isn't as easy as our Premier League rivals for the strikers to score goals, however. Our team is geared up by Jose for the midfielder's to shine, with the strikers helping connect the team and a mere distraction for opposition defenders. I'm not too sure why they're distracted by them, but it's working. Drogba was world-class and so well suited to this Chelsea model, and he thrived to the point of being voted our best ever player. Our midfielders have scored 36 out of 59 goals this season in all competitions- the most in the Premier League after over-performing Arsenal with 38 goals from their midfielders. Not too shabby, eh?
Thanks to our scouting network and a £20 million investment in Cobham for our academy, this is where Patrick Bamford, and more famously Romelu Lukaku come in handy. To a lesser extent Islam Feruz, Dominic Solanke and Isaiah 'Izzy' Brown all have potential, but have more 'raw' talent than Lukaku and Bamford.
Mini Profiles:
Romelu Lukaku
Age: 20
Nationality: Belgian/Democratic Republic of Congo
Height: 6"4"
The much publicised Lukaku was bought under AV-B's reign along with fellow young Belgians, the departed Kevin de Bruyne and loaned out Thibaut Courtois. Like Courtois, Lukaku is yet to actually have a run in the first team. Successful loan spells at West Brom (17 BPL goals) last season and Everton (9 BPL goals so far) this season have seen fans scream for his return to Chelsea, especially as he consistently finds the net (cough...Eto'o...Ba...Torres...cough). Lately he has struggled for goals at Merseyside since his explosive start to the season, but has replaced goals with 5 assists in his last 9 games. Huge potential for the beast.
Patrick Bamford
Age: 20
Nationality: English
Height: 6"
When he joined us from Nottingham Forest for £1.5 million in January 2012, he connected well with Romelu Lukaku in the youth teams. Patrick went on loan at the beginning of this season to League One's MK Dons and started almost every match. He was their top goal scorer with 17 goals until he was loaned to Derby County this January. He should react well to this step up in quality, having already bagged one goal for them. A rare talent who possesses great goal awareness.
Islam Feruz
Age: 18
Nationality: Scottish
Height: 5"4"
Has won and been runners-up of the FA Youth Cup since we nicked him from Celtic's Academy in 2011. At 18 years old now, he's represented every Scotland age group. Despite his limited heading capabilities at 5"4", he's been scoring goals using his explosive pace, controlled dribbling and reliable finishing. His excelled in Europe's Next-Gen tournament with 7 goals, and has been scoring plenty in domestic competitions this year. Powerful Scot who can score screamers as well as tap-ins.
Isaiah Brown
Age: 17
Nationality: English
Height: 5"11"
Also capable at the 'No 10' position, he has slotted very well since he joined us from West Brom last year. He's fast, English, got a David Luiz/Willian/Nathan Ake afro, can calmly pick a defense splitting pass as well as finishing like a veteran. Like team mate Islam Feruz, he has been an integral, undroppable part of our U21s this season. Another real stand out on the pitch. Strong on the ball and technically excellent.
Dominic Solanke
Age: 16
Nationality: English/Nigerian
Dominic Solanke has already scored 16 goals for our U18 team this season at only 16 years of age. This is quite a feat for a boy yet to take his GCSEs. He has a bright future ahead, and should sign a contract when he reaches 18. Another natural finisher who could develop into something special.
We see here these guys all have significant potential, and can hopefully dramatically improve into the desired reliable goal scorer which we so lack. It will be all the more satisfying not spending millions of pounds on a flop for Torres mark II, despite his appreciated efforts and occasional goals, and seeing the likes of Lukaku, Bamford etc mature into a feared, 30-goals-a-season striker whom we would have so patiently waited for.
I can see Lukaku playing the Drogba role (whom Lukaku adored as a teenager), and perhaps even bettering Drogba himself. Don't forget, we only got Drogba when he was 26 years old, and it took Drogba two full seasons to break the 20 goal mark in the league. Lukaku, on the other hand, has scored 17 premier league goals for West Brom at 19 years of age, and 9 BPL goals and counting for Everton. Lukaku has also gotten his team mates 6 assists in the Premier League this season, the eighth highest in the league, and his tallies are only going to improve (hopefully). His link up play with fellow young star Eden Hazard should be telepathic, due to their closeness when they grew up in Belgium together.
Bamford has excelled for League One's MK Dons, scoring 17 goals for them before he moved to Derby County this January and scored the winner with a beauty on his debut, coming off the bench. He was on course to score 30+ goals in League One had he stayed there. League One or not, 30+ goals in a season is fantastic, let alone for a 19 year old. He's also English, something our squad is currently distinctly lacking.
In my opinion these two should spear head our attack in a few years time. After JT, Ashley and Lamps pass on, other characters will rise as leaders (Luiz? Cahill? Mikel? Ivanovic?), and the rest of our relatively young team will hit their peak with Lukaku and Bamford banging in the goals. By then Jose will be integrating our youths in, and, with the handy billions of Roman to fall back on, we will have an cataclysmically destructive cycle of Chelsea players ripping up the Premier League and crushing Europe.

Conor McGregor is proving to be adept at a few things. The Irish featherweight has proven his skills in the cage with two solid wins in the UFC thus far, and has also shown that he can express a wide variety of opinions in a single 140-character tweet. He did so last night, giving one word descriptions of the UFC featherweight champion and his top 10 challengers according to the UFC rankings. Here's the tweet:
Aldo-Safe. Mendes-135er. Lamas-Nobody cares. Cub-OLD. TKZ-Open. Edgar-135er. Siver-OLD. Poirier-PeaHead. Guida-Boring. Lentz-Boring. Koch-?.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) August 22, 2013
Most of them you can probably figure out for yourself, but I need to fill some space anyway, so here's who he's talking about. Champ Jose Aldo is "safe". Chad Mendes and Frankie Edgar are apparently bantamweights according to McGregor. "Nobody cares" about Ricardo Lamas. Cub Swanson and Dennis Siver are "old". Chan Sung Jung is "open", whatever that means. Dustin Poirier is a "PeaHead", which is undoubtedly the most amusing one on the list. Clay Guida and Nik Lentz are both "boring". And Erik Koch is a question mark.
I've never quite seen anyone break down a division like that, and it's pretty amusing. I certainly don't agree with some of it, but he does make certain points that hit the nail on the head. What do you think of McGregor's thoughts on the division?
