Topping & Butch tour dates
Tobias Persson
Stand-up comic and actor from Sweden.
'His material is thoughtful and silly, and he makes some sophisticated parallels alongside some surreal little islands of the bizarre and profane. Easy-going intelligence, and a curiosity which makes him lovely' (The Skinny, August 2011)
'Refreshing taste of absurdity, comfortably mastered by the Swedish comic' (Three Weeks, August 2011)
'Thoughts that are likely to strike a chord... concisely and effectively put' (Steve Bennett, Chortle).

Rhodri Rhys tour dates
Funmbi Omotayo

He has since gone on to win the prestigious Leicester Square New Act of the Year competition in 2012; shortly after becoming joint winner of Amused Moose's Laugh Off Competition in the same year. Gently paced stories and anecdotes are delivered warmly and confidently from this relative newcomer. Funmbi is creating a huge storm on the comedy circuit with tales of living in Hackney, his Nigerian roots and his hilarious day to day observations'.
'A charming young comic... he's got the jokes to back up his charm. Soon, he could be playing to thousands' (Time Out)
'Plenty of original insights and honest home-truths to enjoy' (Chortle)
'A classy young stand-up and, a headliner in the making' (London Is funny).

I love this draft, I think it's arguably amongst the very best. Joeckel went where he will likely go. Richardson went around his value point, possibly a little later (and I really prefer him in a one gap 5 tech role). Slay was a steal and probably went a half-full round later than he will. Same thing with McDonald, whom looks like the TE with the highest upside after Eiffert.
I probably would have docked you a grade for trading up in this very deep draft, which seems counterproductive overall, but I think you nailed the selection with Richardson, and you got steals in the 3rd, which you easily could have taken in the 2nd.
A+ for me.

A Great New Pitching Chart
By: Cindy Bristow
Do you chart every single pitch and end up with a chart looking like one of Einstein's physics formulas? Or you don't have time to do anything with all the info but you keep on charting? Then find a quick and easy answer to your charting problems.
Charting anything should give you information that's fast and accurate – otherwise it's a waste of time! If you end up with a bunch of information that you never have time to use then what good is it? Discover an amazing pitching chart that is not only simple, but also extremely powerful for your pitchers.
During this past Women's College World Series I met with a dear friend of mine – Missy Lombardi, Assistant Coach from University of Oklahoma – who is one of the best pitching minds in the business. Missy is always finding better ways to do things and we enjoy bouncing ideas off each other. During this discussion Missy showed me a very simple, and yet amazingly effective way of charting pitches she'd come up with that we both felt was fantastic.
While it doesn't really have a name, I call it Above the Line Charting as that's basically the whole goal, to keep things "above the line" – you'll see what I mean in a second. Tracking results & information – or charting – has become a psychotic obsession in our game now and it's not going away anytime soon, nor should it. But I find that too many people spend too much time charting and never really do much with the finished product. Time is an issue for all of us and one of the things I find so incredible about this Above the Line Charting is that it's so simple and all the information you need is immediately apparent without having to translate it, print it out, or otherwise further process the charted info.
Let's take a quick look at a few innings that Monica Abbot recently pitched when the USA National Softball beat Australia in the Finals of the KFC World Cup of Softball.
At first glance this Above the Line Charting might look confusing but keep these simple principles in mind:
It's really that simple. That's one thing I really love about this – it's really simple and yet very powerful. So just based on these 6 principles we can tell the following from looking at this Above the Line chart:
For many of our pitchers this might be enough information to help them see just how often they are "getting ahead" since it's actually showing pitches in the form of a picture.
But for many of us, this just isn't enough information so of course we've got to make even the simple more complex! And, without doing that to the degree that this type of "simple chart" loses its effectiveness, here's what I've done to provide just a little more necessary detail without getting so much information it's all a big fat useless mess.
I've broken this now-more-cluttered chart into 3 different parts, so let's talk about each one:
Whether you ever end up using this type of simplified pitching chart or not, I don't know, but I do hope that I've stretched your mind a bit to the possibility of finding a different way of doing the same thing. Missy is the one that helped me find this method and like I said, I've shared it with a number of coaches since then and the overwhelming feedback is they love it for its simplicity and for how powerful it is for their pitchers

Thanks again for creating this amazing website!!!" - Jana Fuzi - Glendale, Arizona

Mr. Kaplan, thanks for the nice comments about Dad. His family and friends appreciate that.
Elena M. Metro
Thanks for taking the time to write, Ms. Metro. My condolences on your loss.
Hi Glen. Just wondering if you ever found anything out about the book and if you still have it. I'd be interested in it depending on the price.
It's late Ron but I appreciate your review very much especially coming on Induction Day for 2011. I hope this helps get the word out. I had the good fortune to be asked by Ed Randall to be part of Induction Weekend on his two radio shows Induction weekend. It was pre-arranged as he called me up on Saturday, July 23 to be part of his "Talking Baseball" on Sirius satellite with his co-host Rico Petrocelli. He then called me again on Sunday morning to be part of his WFAN broadcast, "Talking Baseball."
THanks again

Hey ron any idea what a copy of …THIS GREAT GAME….Might be selling for now that leroy nieman has passed?
I doubt there'll be any change. His "contribution," while nicely done, isn't an integral component of the book. It's not like one of his actual illustrations.
Ron, I just got your book "501 Baseball Books…" in the mail today and Love it! I collect baseball books, leaning more to the biography, Team and general history stuff. Your selections are all over the place and I love that! You review a couple books I did not know much about (Fifth Season – by Honig, and Woman's work…by Dorothy Mills) that look like "Gotta get right away" stuff. The business book section is filled with stuff that I quite frankly never thought looked good. You made a case for me to revisit that opinion. So, thanks! Anyway, it's an hour past bed time as work comes early but I'm hard pressed to put down your book! Well done Sir!
Tony Lewis – Roseville CA
Many thanks for the kind words, Tony.
Dear Ron Kaplan,
Thank you for your very kind words and favorable critique on my book BASEBALL TEAM NAMES. My goal was to write a definitive but fun-to-read book for readers. Although I've worked in health care most of my adult life I retained an interest in sports. However, I also like history very much and though to merge the two interests into one book. I'm writing other books for my publsiher, McFarland. Currently, I working on FOOTBALL team names and hope to write BASKETBALL, SOCCER and HOCKEY NAMES. I also like simple arithmetic and, as a result, am also working on an encyclopedia of very early 19th Century baseball for the era 1845-1870. Contrary to popular belief there are tons of statistics on baseball in this pre-professional era. I'm also trying my hand at science fiction although most pulishers discourage fiction in favor of non-fiction. Again, thank you so much for your encouraging review and kind words.
Rick Worth
Just following up on our conversation from last month regarding Buddy Myer. I was at the D.C. Baseball History Winter Meeting this past weekend and was able to chat with Gary Sarnoff the author of "The Wrecking Crew of 1933″. I pressed him further on the details of Myer's religion and he said he interviewed Buddy's son, Stevey. Stevey said that buried deep in the family lineage is a grandfather that was either Jewish or partially Jewish. He also said that Buddy was baptized at the age of 13 in the Baptist Church, but by the time he died he was an active member of the Methodist church. Take this for whatever it is worth.
A few other quick things:
-I received "Baseball as a Road to God" as a Christmas present this past December and as soon as I finish a biography on the lyricist Johnny Mercer, I look forward to reading it.
-Did you attend the Peter Ephross' appearance this past Sunday? I read the book about a year and a half ago and enjoyed it.
Thanks for the note, Jeff, and sorry for the tardy reply. E-mail issues lately.
Re: Buddy, I have forwarded your remarks to my "committee" on such things for their thoughts.
Have not as yet had the pleasure of attending one of Peter's events. One of these days…
In my "day job," I'm the features and sports editor for a weekly New Jersey newspaper. I'm also the editor of the Bibliography Committee Newsletter for the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
I did a piece on the award-winning cartoonist Arnold Roth and he was nice enough to "immortalize" me.
Joe and Marilyn: Legends in Love, by C. David Heymann.
The Devil's Snake Curve, by John Ostergaard
Most recent books read:
Rickey & Robinson: The True, Untold Story of the Integration of Baseball, by Roger Kahn.
C. Hate to say it, but there's little "new" information here and the legendary sportswriter comes off a bit mean-spirited.
Up, Up, and Away: The Kid, the Hawk, Rock, Vladi, Pedro, le Grand Orange, Youppi!, the Crazy Business of Baseball, and the Ill-fated but Unforgettable Montreal Expos, by Jonah Keri. Greatly looking forward to this definitive history of my second favorite team.
B+: A nice blast from my past. Very nostalgic.
The Devil's Snake Curve: A Fan's Notes From Left Field, by Josh Ostergaard
B+: Interesting and thought-provoking, even if I thought it was too Yankee-centric.
Throwback: A Big-League Catcher Tells How the Game Is Really Played, by Jason Kendall.
A- -- After finishing Kendall's book, I don't have enough eyes to keep track of all the "inside-baseball" that can only be observed in person; television doesn't offer enough angles to keep track of everything.
What I'm reading now
Not much, sad to say.
What's next:
Have to take some time off as I concentrate on my new book about the history of the Maccabiah Games, coming out next spring from Skyhorse.

The Christian Reformed Church votes to support scholarship on human origins
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (19 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Fossil Record of the Cambrian "Explosion": Resolving the Tree of Life
Geologist Keith Miller examines the "Cambrian Explosion", a period of rapid evolutionary diversification approximately 575 million years ago, and whether it poses a challenge to evolutionary theory. From the June 2014 issue of Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith from the American Scientific Affiliation.
What about the Bible?
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
Origins News Round-Up for May 28, 2014
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Series: Intelligent Design and Common Ancestry (4 entries)
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."

FYI...for those of you who are into this kind of thing, it looks like Truvativ is releasing a 180mm version of the Stylo triple for 2009. Pretty affordable too. For the last couple of years it seemed like the only 180mm cranks out there were SS without granny mounts, or higher-end Shimano and Raceface. Nice to know there's a budget alternative now. I've been combing fleabay and craigslist for the last couple of weeks looking for some old 180mm Turbine arms, but I think I'll snag a pair of these instead.

'The Interview' won't be released in Canada on Christmas Day: Sony
Toronto is a complicated city with complicated problems. But historically,...
For the past 16 years, Peter Atienza has helped students and families get...
Nearly 75 Etobicoke Olympium patrons came out to a meeting Wednesday night to hear plans for the year-long, $20-million renovation project at the facility in advance of the Toronto 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games.
The Olympium, a multi-sport facility that features an Olympic-sized pool, leisure pool, gymnasium and fitness centre, will be used during the Games as a training site for swimming, water polo, diving and synchronized swimming.
To prepare for the Games, the Olympium will be closed to the public from July 1, 2013 to July 1, 2014 for extensive renovations, including: improvements to the existing pool, upgrading the dive tower to meet Federation Internationale de Natation (FINA) requirements, major overhaul of the facility's mechanical and electrical systems, and renovations to the building's lobby and administrative areas.
"We have here what has been a high-class, top-rated, world-class facility for many years, but now the building needs some help," said Etobicoke Centre Councillor and Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday. "Fortunately, that's transpiring and we're going to get some financial aid and we're going to build what's needed to make this building last for another 40 years."
The federal government will take on the lion's share of the project, providing 56 per cent of the funding for the $20 million undertaking, with the city picking up the tab for the remaining 44 per cent. Catherine Meade, director of 2015 Pan/Parapan Am Games for the City of Toronto, said the much-needed upgrades to the Olympium would not have otherwise been possible.
"For a project like this one, this is work that absolutely needed to be done, but we couldn't really afford it," she said. "That's what's great about partnering with the federal government for the Pan Am Games – it's allowing us to do work that needed to be done and actually be able to afford it."
At the pool level, the Olympium's leak-plagued Olympic-sized pool will essentially be replaced, with a brand new pool liner that will be fitted over the existing pool, the dive tower will be widened to allow for synchronized diving, and new showers will be added at the tower. New bleachers, a new sound system and LED lighting is also set to be installed.
And, perhaps most "critical", said Meade, will be the new ventilation and dehumidification systems for the pools.
"That's really going to change the air quality in the facility," she said. "We all know the air is not so great, that's why we're going to be making these upgrades – there will be air conditioning throughout building, new air handlers, pumps and controls. Some of these things don't sound very exciting, but they are pretty important."
For patrons like Ron Armstrong, who swims with the Etobicoke Olympium Masters Aquatic Club, the new dehumidification system will be a breath of fresh air.
"It's just a fabulous facility, but it's tired...The ventilation definitely needs upgrading. There's a lot of people in our Masters Club who have difficulty breathing," he said, noting that the leisure pool area is especially stifling. "We've even had to open doors in the middle of winter to allow air to flow through, and even then the fumes coming off the pool are such that you can't catch your breath, you can't breathe sometimes."
To help the Olympium's "treasured" users find temporary new homes during the facility's year-long renovations, Olympium staff have been seeking out alternative facilities in Etobicoke and across the city, said Janie Romoff, director of Community Recreation for the city's Parks, Forestry and Recreation department.
During the construction period, Romoff said the entire building will be closed to the public, impacting not only the swim clubs, leisure swimmers and aquafit students who make use of the pools, but also the health club members and permit users who take advantage of the other facilities in the Olympium.
While Olympium staff have successfully relocated 1,500 of its 2,000 annual swimming lessons to other area pools, and have negotiated with Alderwood, Norseman, Memorial and Gus Ryder pools to add more leisure swims to their schedules to accommodate for the greater demand during the Olympium's closure, they're still working closely with many of the competitive swim clubs and diving clubs that train out of the Olympium to find them alternate facilities.
"This has been a big struggle for us around finding the appropriate place to try and accommodate those needs, especially because this pool has so many specialized functions," Romoff said, noting that potential pools have been identified with the school board, at University of Toronto, in Mississauga, and at McMaster University. "We've had some success, and will continue working on that in the months to come." Romoff said she knows the frustration that people have over the year-long closure, but asks that they keep the "endgame" in mind.
"I think the one thing to keep in mind is that the investment in this facility will last for many years to come and exceeds the capacity that we would have had to upgrade the facility," she said. "I know it's an inconvenience, but if people can try to think of it in the long-range impact on the facility...After the Games, the facility will be in a much better position to host all kinds of athletic competitions and training because of the improvements that we'll have made."

CASTRIES, St. Lucia, Aug 12 2014 (IPS) - Children are often the forgotten ones when policy-makers map out strategies to deal with climate change, even as they are least capable of fending for themselves in times of trouble.
According to David Popo, head of the Social Policy Unit at the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). "Very often when we speak about poverty reduction we are not seeing children, children are invisible in terms of development.

This is a discussion on Look Out, New York, California is Jealous within the The Second Amendment & Gun Legislation Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Calif. seeks to adopt nation's toughest gun laws - Yahoo! News...
"If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast."
William T. Sherman
"The state also would restrict the lending of guns to keep weapons from felons, mentally ill people and others who are prohibited from ownership."
Gotta see the wording on this one.....really......can't wait to read this bill......
"Hell no...I don't care what the hell he told you. I did not lend him my AR...he stole it while I was at work......."....."Ah sorry brad but I got a wife and two kids..can't take the hit on lending you the AR...hope you understand"....
There are two types of people who carry concealed weapons...Responsible ones and Irresponsible ones...which are you...
Isn't it time to just abandon California to the kooks and wall it off from the rest of the United States?
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
Where are the legal challenges to all of these states trampling all over responsible law-abiding citizen's 2A rights? All of this stuff makes me want to puke.
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
It also looks like Minnesota is jumping on the bandwagon too. I guess states are exempt from recongizing civil liberties under the Bill of Rights?????
Know Guns, Know Safety, Know Peace.
No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Cali and N.Y.has lost their minds,seriously.Nothing surprises me anymore.I'm so glad,no one here, is trying anything, like they are.
We are screwed here in CA....there's a democratic supermajority in the house....things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.
Ah yes .... Komiefornia, doesnt surprise me at all. Nothing personal to anyone here but if the San Andreas fault ripped through the state lengthwise and it floated off into the pacific, I wouldnt miss it a bit.
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
"California has always been a leader on the issue of gun safety," (LA mayor) Villaraigosa said.
Really??? Is that why some of the cities with the highest crime rates, including crimes with guns are in CA? Any time you hear the words "gun safety" coming from a politician, you know they are talking about restrictions that only law abiding citizens will follow, not actually doing anything that will make an area safer.
Trust in God and keep your powder dry

Can't we just give Kalifornia back to Mexico? Almost half of thier population is Mexian anyways.

ThermoEnergy Joint Venture Wins Grant From The U.S. Department Of Energy To Further Develop Key Clean Coal Technology
WORCESTER, Mass., July 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ThermoEnergy Corporation (OTCBB: TMEN), a diversified technologies company involved in power generation and wastewater recovery, announced today that its Unity Power Alliance (UPA) joint venture has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a grant that will fund further R&D on the company's patented pressurized oxy-combustion technologies for the production of clean electric power from coal.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100816/CL50460LOGO)
The grant will go to the Utility Power Alliance, a joint venture between ThermoEnergy Corporation (OTCBB: TMEN) and ITEA, S.p.A.
The technology that UPA is developing (that the DOE will support) is called pressurized oxy-combustion. The basic approach is to burn coal at high pressures in highly purified oxygen, instead of in air at normal pressure as in conventional coal plants. That increases the efficiency of power plants. More important, it allows virtually all of the pollutants, including the CO 2 that causes climate change, to be captured before they are emitted into the atmosphere.The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is already tightening pollution regulations for coal plants and is proposing to limit CO 2 emissions from power plants. UPA's pressurized oxy-combustion technology will allow existing coal plants to meet both these regulations and expected tougher regulations in the future. Retrofitting existing coal plants with UPA's technology represents a $65 billion potential market. "We are proud that the U.S. Department of Energy has recognized the potential of the efforts of our newly formed joint venture with ITEA," said Cary Bullock, Chairman and CEO of ThermoEnergy Corporation. "The DOE selection reinforces the promise of UPA's pressurized oxy-combustion technology to create completely clean, coal-fired power plants," added Unity Power Alliance Managing Director Robert Marrs. "The grant will enable us to boost the efficiency of the technology and to improve its ability to capture CO 2." The DOE funded research will help pave the way for a larger pilot project, which could also receive government support, said Marrs: "The overall goal is to lay the foundation for a 50 MW pressurized oxy-combustion power plant, which would be followed by a 320 MW commercial power plant."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The following is a selection of quotes from editorials and commentaries
published in 28 July 2010 editions of Iranian newspapers available to
BBC Monitoring at 0530 gmt
Leaked documents on Afghan war
Mardom Salari [moderate]: "The White House has again felt the Afghan
tremor. After the shock of dismissing the General [McChrystal], it was
the turn of WikiLeaks website, which made the Pentagon's plans go
haywire... 90,000 military documents related to the war in Afghanistan
are in the possession of WikiLeaks website... The documents, which are
in WikiLeaks's possession, may significantly influence the public
opinion, especially in the US and Europe, regarding the war in
Afghanistan." (Analytical report by Ali Vada'i: "Real face of Afghan
Iran [hard-line]: "The most important and deplorable issue that has been
disclosed in these documents [leaked documents about US military in
Afghanistan] is the issue of toll of Afghan civilians killed by
coalition forces... The result of the Afghan election contrary to US
officials' expectations, rampant government level corruption in
Afghanistan, the former commander of the US forces in Afghanistan Gen
Stanley McChrystal's disagreement with Obama and his policies, and now
disclosure of classified documents of the US army through WikiLeaks
website have altered the face of the Afghan war for the international
community and public opinion... [The disclosure] about the death-toll of
civilians and a secret death squad will surely endanger the USA's
national security instead of improving it. It is still too early to draw
conclusions on the results of the disclosure of the classified
documents... However, one thing is clear - these documents and files
once again de! liver a new message to Obama regarding his foreign
policy: Has his strategy in foreign policy been indeed successful?"
(Editorial headlined "Terrible truth of Afghan war")
Jaam-e Jam [conservative]: An internet website has revealed 90,000
secret documents about the US's military operations in Afghanistan...
These documents include real and horrific facts about the war in
Afghanistan, which the Western countries and America in particular have
hidden from the public. This issue has become a matter of concern for
White House, as it is possible that the publication of these documents
and adverse public opinion will influence the future developments
related to the Afghan war... Undoubtedly, the publication of these
documents will create a new wave of disagreements among people over the
continuation of the war. At the same time, Pakistan and Afghanistan are
intensifying their criticisms against the countries participating in the
war." (Analytical report: "America's fear over revelation of 90,000
documents about Afghan war")
Javan [conservative]: "In an unprecedented move, a website called
WikiLeaks published more than 91,000 documents about America's military
operations in Afghanistan during the years 2004-2009... The documents
published by WikiLeaks confirm that the Taleban have had thermal
missiles and destroyed American helicopters, while the American
officials have avoided [speaking] about it... Another part of these
documents show that Pakistan's ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] armed
the Taleban against India... Some published documents show that the
American soldiers in Afghanistan committed war crimes, but the US
military maintained secrecy over it... It [disclosed documents] also
claims that Iran had organized a secret information war against the USA
by using the Taleban... Another report indicates that Iranian
intelligence organization had spent more than 200,000 dollars on
supporting Golboddin Hekmatyar in Afghanistan... Meanwhile, Iran has
denied that it created inst! ability in Afghanistan several times."
(Unattributed analytical report: "Disclosure of 91,000 secret documents
on US's war in Afghanistan")
Democrats' political situation in US
Resalat [conservative]: " US President Barack Obama is extremely afraid
of the Democrats being defeated in the mid-term elections for the
Congress. This fear has roots in two significant issues. One is the
Congress veto on a bill proposed by Obama and the other is preparation
of the ground for the Democrats' defeat in 2012 [US] presidential
elections... The 'economic crisis' was like a winning card for the
Democrats during the 2008 US presidential election campaign... Now the
Washington hawks [Republicans] are repeating the same formula against
their rival party... US Vice-President Joseph Biden admitted some time
ago that the Democrats had underestimated this country's economic
crisis." (Unattributed commentary: "An adverse winning card")
Possible military action against Iran
Keyhan [hard-line]: "The evil triangle of Israel, USA and Britain has
been using various means to curb or topple the Islamic Republic of Iran
for the past two years. Two years ago they changed the policy of
sanctions or threats against Iran into military action and concentrated
[their efforts] on the project of a 'velvet coup' with the help of
Iran's shady politicians... Now they are again threatening Iran and
think that they are dealing with a group of kids... Of course, we have
no doubts regarding the West's brutality, which is hidden behind the
mask of peace and velvet gloves; however Iran's reaction to any military
action will be absolutely unpredictable." (Editorial: "Do you remember
your suits?")
Arman [reformist]: "Israel can attack Iran but its attacks will surely
not remain unanswered. Israel can trigger any military action in the
region. However, it cannot end it as it will require a separate long
process... From the military point of view, Israel cannot attack Iran
without the USA's full support... but any military action against Iran
means decades of war and tension in the Middle East." (Editorial:
"Possibility of Israeli attack against Iran?")
Iran-Europe, sanctions
Siyasat-e Ruz [conservative]: "Although Western countries have tried to
curb the peaceful activities of the country [Iran] by issuing the UN
Resolution 1929, their recent decisions and actions have pushed them
onto another path... It seems that Europe suffers from a decision-making
crisis and the only way out is to resume talks with Iran, because the
continuation of sanctions on nuclear fuel and the policy of threatening
the country will become a more costly affair for Europe." (Editorial:
"Crisis of decision making")
USA and Colombia, Venezuela stand-off
Siyasat-e Ruz [conservative]: "The US has always considered Latin
America its back yard, and has implemented many plans for its influence
in this region... Though, during Obama's tenure the US has chanted the
slogan of change in its approach towards Latin America and has
emphasized on expansion of bilateral and multi lateral relations, the
trend of developments indicates continuance of its hostile policies...
The US's latest such move can be witnessed in provoking Colombia to
strain its relations with Venezuela... Although the two countries have
long-standing differences, the recent military build-up has led to a
mutual snapping of diplomatic ties. An evaluation of the developments
especially related to Colombia indicates that this act is a continuation
of efforts to perpetuate the crisis in Colombia which will engulf all of
Latin America." (Editorial by Qasem Ghafuri: "Fresh intrigue")
Iranian legislature, executive row
Mardom Salari [moderate]: "The legislature of the Islamic Republic of
Iran is rooted in public opinion and in accordance with fundamental
constitutional criteria it plays an important role in governance in the
country's political system. The legislature is the God-given right of
the people and a manifestation of the entire nation wherein rests the
political and social destiny of the people... Since the nature and
spirit of law is generally not compatible with the conduct and deeds of
some executive officials, some political institutions avoid the
execution of laws through various intrigues and tactics or interpret
them in their own favour because they exercise power and influence."
(Editorial by Dr. Reza Jalali: "Legislature, the most important branch
of the constitution")

The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Lance Zierlein & company at The Sideline View are doing various forms of film breakdown on their site & on YouTube.
This is a catchall thread for those...
TSV Film Room - Texans Double Dual
Interesting to see how much is asked of our guards in the "double dual".
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Thanks alot for the link!!! I'm a student of the game, so I love watching the video tape breakdowns.
This "double dual" seems a bit flawed? So basically Brooks has to handle two guys, while Wade has nothing to do, AND Schaub has to check to his hot receiver? I'd like to see an example of a good execution of this. It doesn't seem right that Schaub must quickly go to his hot receiver when they're only rushing 5?
A logical execution of this would be:
1) Once Wade sees 53 blitzing on the right side, he should help double-up on Myers' guy.
2) Brooks gets a better hit on 56, so that he can be easily be passed off to Myers
3) Then Brooks is able to push 53 out wider
4) Schaub then has the option to step up in the pocket towards his left to make a clean throw.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Here's a basic read on pass pro that includes the dual read concept for O-lineman, especially the guard.
The QB just has to throw to the hot receiver; alas, it fell right into the Titans' trap. Schaub did not expect Pollard to leave the TE to jump the route.
It's another cat and mouse game, and they won that one.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
There are several protection schemes that we use.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Speaking from a position of ignorance on what our OL is coached to do, but from a position of general knowledge I think the following:
I think with the movement pre-snap Myers should have checked and slid the protection to the strong side. The NT crosses face to engage Myer in order to establish the two-on-one against Brooks.
I think Myers should have passed the NT on to Wade who should have engaged the NT when he sees the pre-snap movement leaving him uncovered. This gives 1 on 1 across the board.
I only say this because the movement was clear pre-snap. If they executed this blitz post snap then I say we play it how we did on film as the additional steps needed from keeping it disguised would have provided plenty of time for Matt to get rid of the ball.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
At any rate, this is my understanding of pass pro.
The Center makes the Mike call. He declares the weak side to be the strength of the defense. Why?
If we look at the line-up, Wade Smith was the only uncovered lineman, but there's the WILL #53 in front of him on the second level and there's also a DB on the line outside the LT.
This guy lined up inside our left slot, and was also a threat to blitz, on the blind side no less.
There was also a DB on the other side, but he was some 3 yards further out.
I believe the term for this is a "tough" call.
Wade Smith needs to stay back in case the WILL or the nickel back blitz on the blind side. You want to protect the QB's blind side.
If the WILL happens to blitz the strong side, it is up to the QB to quickly find his hot receiver, which Schaub did.
It was just too bad that the ball was deflected and Pollard made a good play on the ball.
We can still say that our line didn't do a good enough job since the ball was tipped and Brook wasn't quick enough to handle two guys long enough in order for Schaub to have a better vision of the field.
But I think that was the protection call.
It is still on the QB to get rid of the ball if he feels like he doesn't have enough time.
It was a tough call allright.
A combination of several little things that added together to the favor of the defense.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Here's another video from TSV
I think maybe some of our OL issues is the wide gaps these guys are lining up with. I remember a time, when we used to line up shoulder to shoulder. But as our line & system matures, looks like we're opening those gaps.... which is overall a good thing if we are playing well enough to do so.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Anyways, I do think it was a very good pressure call by Tenn.
They did a good job with their pressure packages all day, much to ire of our fans who insisted we throw past the sticks on every 3rd down.
Between this board and another that I was on during the game there must have been a 100 3rd down play selection complaints. If they are bringing more than we can block or out executing our blocking schemes, like above, then we have 1 of 2 options: We can throw short and quick and hope for a missed tackle, or we can throw the 1 on 1 fade, deep ball, jump ball. We did both of those throughout the game.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Here's more film study from LZ on Titans game...
NFL Week 2 Film Study: What Went Right And Wrong For The Texans
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Actually, on B-gap looks, the Texans coach double-dueling. That's their philosophy unless there are mitigating circumstances in terms of the rest of the defensive front. It's not up for debate. The go through practice sessions with guards working the double-duel technique. I spent about 5-10 minutes after practice last year with Coach Benton speaking specifically about it and why they use that when it can allow interior pressure into a non-mobile QBs face.
Personally, I don't think Schaub is mobile enough or confident enough to have pressure in his face and respond well. I would rather block one and let him know who he (Schaub) is responsible for. That's just my mindset with this QB. Most teams are getting away from double-dueling because it is so difficult.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
I know you're going to do what you do & I appreciate it. But I'd love for you guys to get the Texans to start talking about his foot.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
I do understand that it's their philosophy; I tried to go back from the start, and rewatch the first game as an example.
Certainly, it can be done, as Harris had pointed out.
It is something you expect of a veteran QB.
Rewatching the first game, you can see Schaub under those circumstances, and he made good decisions. Three or four or five times.
Nobody and nobody can say that the protection scheme was bad.
I do respect you guys for pointing out certain things;
I do learn; I try to learn about football, may be not everyday.
The philosophy, the way I see it, is for the QB to make a good decision.
Within your system, you narrow down certain instances that the QB might be subjected to a pass rush, and you want them to recognize those instances.
I hear you about perhaps it's not optimum with Schaub under center.
But it's like asking for Nirvana in this particular instance.
Schaub made good decisions in this particular protection scheme in the first game in three to five instances.
At this level, I don't think it "should" matter what kind of protection scheme you're in. You call a play from empty, your QB has to know how to respond to a blitz; no excuse.
Re: The Sideline View Film/Video Room
I would think with a QB like Schaub who is very non athletic you would not want pressure in his face at all if you could prevent it.

Here is the heater just taken out of the truck. Where to start? We have a few issues to consider. The two main issues are making it look like new and making it work like new. In this case it will be better than new since we will also use a 12 volt motor to run it. In addition, the unit must not in any way look as if it is not 100% original.
Let's get a few shots of the heater still fully assembled so that we don't forget how it goes back together. This picture shows not only how the ducts are arranged, but how much play in the defroster cable is normal. This will help during re-assembly.
This one will help us figure out the relationship of the parts during re-assembly. Once you have it apart, it becomes apparent how important the before pictures can be.
Here's a shot of the heater core and how it's installed in the housing. Turns out this core is good.
This is how the small duct housing is attached to the motor housing. In this picture and inside the main housing is a small rubber bumper. This picture shows the direction that bumper needs to be reinstalled in. You want to take great care and use unusual finesse in removing this bumper. It is not available through any of our vendors. It will need to be removed for the re-painting process. I realize this picture is too small to see it (Click on the picture for a larger one), but trust me, it's there, and you need to take great care with it.
This is how the two halves of the core housing are assembled. Just about everything involved in this project is fastened with #6 x 3/8 inch Phillips Pan Sheet Metal Screws. Buy new ones; they are cheap.
Here is the rest of the core housing removed from the motor housing. There were no gaskets in between the two.
This one is with the fan assembly removed. This is no big deal really. There is a slotted set screw on the side of the shaft and all it takes is loosening that and then a little persuasion with a punch and the fan will come right off. Be careful not to beat on things too hard since it is very possible to bend the fan assembly.
This is the entire heater disassembled. Not a lot to it, but these pics should help in getting it all correctly back together. In case you can't see enough detail, you can click on these pictures to make them much larger. They are in 1200x1600 high resolution.
This is to show a few things - what the Harrison Faceplate looks like exactly, what the 'motor to housing' gasket looks like, and the placement of the aforementioned rubber bumper.
There are two of them pesky rubber bumpers. Here is where the other one goes. Again, take care in removing them since they are not available new.
Here are all the parts laid out after sandblasting and thorough cleaning and then primered using a good self-etching primer. Take time to do a thorough job in prepping your metal parts. This heater will get hot and be used alot so the paint should adhere well.
My heater had a missing screen. Since I have two and can see what was original, I discovered that 1/4" hardware cloth available at the local lumber yard was what they used originally. I just got a small piece and then used JBWeld to glue it down. It was originally tack welded into place, but that would be a little hard for me to do. JBWeld works perfectly.
The one on the left is the 6 volt original and the one on the right is a 12 volt replacement. This difference would be noticeable under the hood thus unacceptable. It so happens that Chevs of the 40's sells a replacement 12 volt motor that is small enough to fit IN the 6 volt motor housing! It takes a little work to remove the 6 volt guts, but once you have done this, you have a perfectly original looking 12 volt motor.
This picture is offered so that you can get the correct replacement motor when you call Chevs of the 40's. They are also the only vendor I have found that has the complete gasket set for these heaters and the decal for the defroster mechanism. Bowtie Bits is the only vendor I have found that carries the thick rubber motor-to-housing gasket.
