Lebanon is now home to more than one million Syrian refugees, that's equivalent to nearly a fourth of the entire Lebanese population.
The United Nations say it's causing a devastating strain on the country.
Nineteen-year-old Yahya, who has asked to be identified only by his first name, was the one-millionth refugee to register in Lebanon. "I feel sad because this means that one million fled here before me to suffer together," Yahya said as he waited to register with the the United Nations' refugee agency (UNHCR) in the city of Tripoli. "A million is a big number for Syria and a big number for Lebanon," he added.
As the Syrian civil war continues, refugees are not just fleeing to Lebanon, bordering countries including Jordan, Turkey, Iraq, and Egypt are also housing those trying to escape the violence.
Yet Lebanon has the highest per-capita concentration of refugees recorded anywhere in the world in recent history, the UNHCR said. The U.N. says there are more than 2.5 million Syrian refugees and as the number continues to rise, fears of sectarian fighting are spreading across the region.

We are excited to announce that the OK System Conference Cenrre was selected as venue for the Agile Prague conference. Conveniently located in Prague, the venue can be easily reached by car and Prague's public transport.
The OK System Conference Center is located at Pankrác, which is part of the Prague 4 District. Its location provides straight and easy connection to the road system as well as to the public transport system. In addition to trams and buses, the site has its Pankrác Station on Line C of the Prague Underground.
Adress of OK System Conference Center:
Na Pankráci 125, 140 21 Prague 4 - Pankrac
By public transport – the Pankrác Metro station on Line C; take the exit for Na Pankráci Street and you will see the OKsystem building diagonally across the intersection – a green and white six-storey building with glazed ground and first floors.
By car along the "Magistrála" motorway – take the Podolí, Pankrác exit (at the water tower), then turn right at the intersection with the traffic lights (at Bauhaus) into Na Pankráci Street. The OK System building is around 300 metres ahead on the right hand side. There is a bus stop right outside the building. The next large building on the right hand side is Česká pojišťovna. You can park in the shopping center Arkady Pankrac (paid parking) - entrance is from Hvezdova street. You might also find free parking in the nearby streets, if you're lucky.

Hello all, So over the past few years, our family has thrown around the idea of starting a blueberry farm. We are now FINALLY moving forward (after someone tried to buy our land over the summer for start his own farm) but need some direction in marketing to buyers and distributors. Obviously, a farm full of berries does no good unless you have someone to sell them to, right? If anyone has any input that would be great! |

For blueberries there is a group of blueberry growers, sorry I don't know their name. You might check with the state agriculture department. |
You did not specify the size of your expected operation, but I have some knowledge of selling a few acres. I grow and sell several acres of blueberries outside of Greensboro, NC. I'm no expert on SHB production in Florida, but I do know that the Florida Blueberry industry is growing rapidly because the berries are very early and sell for a high price. A lot of people are getting into the business and the competition is huge! If you plan to grow a few acres you can direct market them PYO or through Farmer's Markets. That is what I do with a few acres. With more than 10 acres you are looking at a major enterprise and a lot of money. Check out the trueblueplants website for more information about blueberry production in Florida |
- Posted by familybiz850 none (My Page) on Fri, Oct 18, 13 at 16:54
Wow, thanks for the quality feedback, and so quickly! First off, our operation is going to be anywhere from 5 - 7 acres year one, with hopes of planting anywhere from a total of 40-80 over the years (all depends on how this takes off the first year or two). We are hoping to let our earning pay for land development while still paying ourselves, as much as possible. We have much more land than this to plant on, but plan to diversify it with other crops. We know this is going to be expensive to try and go commercial...so far we are guessing about 12K-15K per acre to get started. Luckily, we have a lot of close friends and family that will can help get us started (stump clearing, plumbing, electric, horticulturist, etc.). I have stumbled across the trueblue website...looks like a great operation. Looks like they offer commercial consulting services, but am waiting to call them until after we get a little more research under our belt. Honestly, our biggest concern is just getting our product into the market (as anyone would expect). We are going to be able to hopefully start planting in about three weeks to try and catch the tail end of the planting season, but we are trying to get our ducks in a row first. I think I will definitely be calling the State Ag Dept soon and continue looking into a PYO route as well (although, our land is not located in the most central area). |
- Posted by familybiz850 none (My Page) on Fri, Oct 18, 13 at 16:57
The full intent on this is not to become the richest people in the world, but really wanting to start a family business that can offer long term stability. |
Ok, I have a better idea of your plans and I understand that money is not the primary objective. Since your location is not central to the population, you will need a relationship with a broker or a packer-shipper to handle your product, if possible. You may want to contact them first and see if they have variety suggestions before you plant. I saw that you have a horticulturist on your list of friends. Working with someone who has some experience growing Blueberries in your area is important unless you have $100k to throw away. The University of Florida has a lot of excellent research and information on Blueberries |
I'm not familiar with the southern varieties but up here the high and low bush take a few years to really produce anything. You mentioned 5-7 acres in the 1st year, that's planting? Since you mentioned clearing? |
- Posted by sandy0225 z5 Indiana (email@example.com) on Fri, Oct 25, 13 at 7:16
Hate to rain on your parade, but it's usually best to do more research and have some potential sales areas figured out before planting anything. Maybe you should start smaller and see how that goes first... |

My Gosh!!, Mary. Tremendous. What a collection you have there. Looks like a lot of the photo's from Thailand and Taiwan. So beautiful. If I ever find myself in close by, I would love to see them. This might mean a trip from the west coast of the U.S. to the East coast where Laura resides and maybe catch some of the other Adenium friends I have been so lucky to exchange conversations with. Who knows, eh! Thanks Marie. Always sucha treat. |
Hi Marie, all your plants are masterpieces. How long have you been growing adeniums? |
Thank you Rick and Averil. Averil, I started growing adenium in 1988 and can't stop ever since. I lost so many last winter, in those, 5 big ones, that were with me over 10 years. It was very sad to let go. Marie |
Oh gosh Marie, if I lost any I would be gutted but if they were ten years old I would be devastated |

Tabs in Mozilla
Ok, so this question is probably best suited towards jkd, but we will see what happens.
I recently (like 3 days ago) decided to download mozilla. I am really enjoying it and having a great time with it. Though, I am not very good at finding out new features in it.
The question I have is: is there anyway to open a link in a new tab without having to right-click on it. Like in IE where you just shift+clicked on a link and it would open a new window, is there any way to do this but into a new tab??
Also, is there anyway to set up mozilla to where if I click on a link that opens a new window (ex. target="_blank" links) it opens in a new tab inside my existing window instead of a whole new window?
Thanks for your help everyone!
If you have a scroll wheel, you can tell Mozilla to open links in a new tab via a middle click.
I do it all the time when visiting forums, branching out from active forums to new threads, etc.
I am unaware of a way to make window.open() always open a new tab though, but it wouldn't surprise me if there was one.

Duh, stupid me, right there under preferences > Tabbed Browsing is the check box for the middle click option.
I think I might look into that whole window.open() in a tab thingy some more. I will tell you if I find it.
Thanks for the help jkd, I figured you'd reply .

text: Well, put it this way. The WH killed people that seemed suspicious both days, but were not voted on. At the same time, the WH is probably now the berserker. But, since he did things that were designed to help the townies, I am inclined to think them friends. This is another way to put it. For now, b/c of 2 kills, they are likely a berserker. However, if they don't kill for two days, they will probably be human again. So, if we see a WH kill tonight(such as Exactly being killed, a suspicious person, for instance), or one berserker kill, we can fairely assume that it is the WH that is alive. We wait two rounds after that kill, and if there are no berserker or WH kills in that time, they are probably trying to become human, meaning they can be trusted. Your right, maybe they should reveal themselves in two rounds.

Everything had happened so fast.
It was a few hours later, and Hanana was kneeling by the bed, her head in her arms as she tried to wrap her mind around everything that'd happened, everything she'd been told. Her gaze shifted from a spot on the wall to Yukiki, lying on his back and still unconscious.
But at least he was breathing.
Almost immediately after the last petal dropped from the rose--and seeing that filled Hanana with intense fear, though she still didn't fully understand why--there was a brilliant flash of yellow, and she found herself sitting in the middle of the room she'd slept in during her stay with Yukiki. She glanced down, to make sure...she didn't know what. But she let out a small sob of relief, seeing she still held her snowy friend, saw he was still breathing. She hugged him tighter, relief surging through her as she felt his heartbeat--stronger than it had been back in the forest, thank god.
"Let's get him up here," the enchantress said, pulling the blankets back. It took a bit of effort, but finally he was in the bed, blankets up to his chest.
The enchantress turned to look at Hanana, smiling at the look on her face, then reached out to rest a hand on her head. "He's going to be alright," she said. "Thanks to you...you spoke up just in time."
"But...but what happened, though?" Hanana whispered, voice still thick and quavery. "I don't understand...What..."
"I suppose you are owed an explanation," the enchantress said, crossing her arms and sighing. And she told her. She told her about how, a century ago, her teacher had been an angry, vengeful sorceress who'd cursed a man simply because he did not return her supposed feelings. How the woman had left a rose behind, and the younger enchantress had decided to use it as a timer when she used what little magic she knew to help the man.
"But I didn't know this til just recently," the enchantress, who had introduced herself as Samama, said. "But my teacher had cast one more spell. I don't know if she considered it an act of mercy or to put him out of his misery, or if she was even more spiteful than I thought, but she'd also tied his life to that rose. As the petals fells, he'd grow sicker and weaker...."
"I....I saw that," Hanana muttered, face paling again. But she hadn't considered that was the cause.
"Then when the last petal fell..." Samama went on, but then stopped and shook her head. No, she didn't need to say any more; the pink-haired girl could connect the dots there. "As I said in the forest, I have gotten stronger since that day, but to restore him to his original form and sever his tie to the rose would take me more years of study--magic doesn't come easily, contrary to what mortals may believe," she added, a touch of irritation in her voice as she folded her arms.
"I could only do one or the other...and you chose to save his life rather than let him die as a human. Actually, you didn't even listen to my other option. I'm not blaming you for anything," she added quickly, seeing the distraught look on Hanana's face. "Only giving you an explanation. Actually, I think I should commend you for making that choice." One corner of her mouth quirked up. "I know some who would choose the other option."
Hanana shuddered involuntarily.
"And," Samama put a hand on her head again. "You said you loved him. Didn't you?" she asked, voice softening.
Though it was horribly inappropriate for the situation at hand, Hanana blushed faintly. "I..." She had, hadn't she? It had just slipped out without her even thinking, but she'd said it. Actually, if she was able to say such a thing without even thinking it, then that surely meant...
"I bet he'll be happy to know that," Samama chuckled, "when he wakes up. He didn't think anyone could after a while..." Pulling her hand away from Hanana's head, Samama strode to the door. "I'll leave you alone...I don't know when he'll wake up, but rest assured, he will."
"W-Wait!" Hanana gasped, suddenly remembering something as she turned around. "M-my sisters--the villagers might--"
"Your sisters are downstairs, thoroughly confused and a little frightened. I'm going to explain things to them and tell them not to come up here." The door shut behind her, and Hanana was left alone with an unconscious Yukiki.
All this time left her plenty opportunity to think things over, try to recover from all these big things happening at once. The villagers attacking them, the two of them suddenly being in the forest, Yukiki was...dying (Hanana still didn't like to think of that), and now all this...it felt like it had all happened weeks ago, instead of only a few hours. And then it all hit her at once; all that had happened in the village, the fact she came this close to losing her dearest friend, the one she loved, the information she'd just been given... Hanana lowered her face, hiding it in the blankets she she started to cry softly, shoulders shaking.
A few moments later, she felt someone put their hand on her head, fingers gently brushing her bangs aside. She felt her heart twist a bit; it must be the enchantress again...being magical didn't mean she couldn't knock. "Leave me alone," she sobbed, not wanting the woman to see her like that.
But the voice wasn't Samama's. "Please don't cry."
With a small gasp, Hanana lifted her head, hastily wiping her tears, her gaze meeting Yukiki's.
The snowman looked uncomfortable, tucking some hair behind her ear. "Don't cry," he repeated. "Why were you crying?"
Much to his alarm, the pink-haired girl only cried harder, trying to wipe her tears away as quickly as they came. Yukiki tried to sit up, tried to tell her she shouldn't cry, everything was alright, he didn't mean to make her cry, but Hanana just shook her head and pushed him back down, leaning over him to hug him tight. "Hanana?"
She sniffled, shaking her head (inadvertently drying her tears on his shoulder in the process) and hugging him tighter. "Y-You almost died..." she whispered.
"...I'm sorry." It was all he could think of to say. What else was one supposed to say to that? "But I'm not dead now, am I?"
Hanana let out a small laugh through her tears. "N-No....th-there was an enchantress...S-Samama, she said her name was--sh-she managed to save you, b-but..." She hugged him even tighter, if such a thing were possible. "I'm so sorry, Yukiki! I didn't recognize any of it sooner!"
"Recognize what?" he asked, frowning. This was getting very confusing now.
"A-All of it! Th-the rose, why you weren't feeling so well...I should have known--we read fairy tales together, remember? I should have figured it out, I should have guess before it got this bad!" She paused, hiccuping a little, but at last the sobs were starting to subside. Distantly, she felt Yukiki's hand on her upper back, awkwardly returning her hug. "I...I almost let the one I love die..."
Yukiki suddenly felt like his heart had stopped. Wait...what? "You...you nearly let who die? What?" he blurted. If he had his usual sense about him, he'd have felt embarrassed by the way he sounded.
Hanana finally released him, pulling away just enough so he could see her face. She smiled, lifting a shaking hand to her face to wipe the last traces of her tears. "I said...I love you, Yukiki."
Now he was certain his heart had stopped. That or he was still dying in the forest and this was all some hallucination. But it certainly felt real-- "You what?"
Hanana laughed again, a tiny, weak, but utterly-relieved laugh, leaning forward to hug him again, pressing her cheek against his. "I...I love you. I didn't realize it until it was nearly too late, but...But I do. I don't even know exactly when it happened--no one does, remember?--but I do. I love you."
He didn't respond for a few moments, and some part of her feared he'd gone into shock, or maybe he was horrified by such a thing.
But then she suddenly felt his arms encircle her, hugging tightly as he hid his face in her shoulder, one hand going up to stroke her hair. "Hanana..." he choked. For a brief moment, the butterflies showed up again, only to quickly fade away and be replaced by a warm feeling in his chest. Oh, that was much better than butterflies, far less worrying.
The girl in question smiled, wiping at her eyes one more time as she shifted a bit, giving him a soft kiss.
"I love you, too."
Unbeknownst to either of them, the door had opened just slightly, three pairs of eyes watching the two of them. Samama grinned, softly shutting the door again. "Alright, I don't think an audience is needed."
The other two females exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of shocked and confused, though there may have been a tiny bit of joy in there, too.
"The question is, though," the redhead went on. "What happens now?"

About mountain lions and stockpiling deer
He said "Did you hear about the cat near your place?"
He, like all astute persons who report sightings, immediately mentioned the tail. This is one of the ways that I winnow out the less verifiable reports. If they don't mention the long tail, their reports are not worth reporting. This has been my 4-decades credo of reporting mountain lion instances. There is absolutely nothing out there with a tail two-thirds its body length, an animal bigger than a Great Dane.
But it's going to take one killed in the road or shot by someone protecting livestock that will set the stage. And then the real story, the DNA, will begin to unwind.
Finally, who thinks about deer after a late-spring snowstorm? In most cases, people are thinking about mowing the lawn.
This late-winter weather north of the notches has been a deer disaster, with more on the radar-scope to come. Up here in the tips of where Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Lower Quebec meet, the spring weather is everything.
Even as people love to see the deer, and in a Disney sense love and emote about deer, few people seem to understand that in late spring, after a heavy snow season, the deer are dying like flies.

Student benefits from special summer program
By Jessie Molloy Correspondent September 4, 2014 6:36PM
Thomas Simmons | Supplied photo
Updated: October 6, 2014 11:09AM
While most college students put their studies on hold when they get a summer job, Illinois Wesleyan University student Tom Simmons was able to continue his academic pursuits and get paid this summer when he became a part of the Eckley Summer Scholar and Artist Program.
An Evergreen Park native, Simmons, is a computer science major entering his senior year at Wesleyan with a special interest in online cryptography, which is used for securing information on the Internet.
"Cryptography is all around us," he said. "Every time we secure our communications, use online banking, check our email or buy something from Amazon we are using cryptography."
Originally drawn to computer science in high school by the idea of coding and game design, Simmons became interested in cryptography when he got to college and found books on the subject in the school library.
"My sophomore year I found out my professor was doing research on the subject, and I approached him about it," Simmons said. "He told me about his work, and I started to help him as a research assistant."
While he also works as a teaching assistant in the computer science program during the school year, his research with assistant math professor Andrew Shallue has continued independently of Simmons' class work. It was Shallue who recommended that Simmons apply for the Eckley scholarship and who served as his summer mentor.
"The Eckley program is an opportunity at Wesleyan to do research over the summer," Simmons said. "They pay you and provide housing on campus, so it's like a summer job but only five or six students get it each year."
Simmons is the only member of the computer science program to receive the scholarship this year and has used it to continue his work with Shallue on a project that's focused on public key cryptography.
This type of security is automatically embedded in websites where sensitive information such as bank account and credit card numbers are transferred to protect the data from being intercepted or altered in transmission. In order to do this, a system generates two numbers, or "keys," that are mathematically related to lock and unlock the messages sent between computers.
Essentially, every computer in the world has these two key numbers. One is publicly accessible by any other computer, but the other is only known by the receiving computer. When a computer sends a message to another, it finds the receiver's public key and uses it to encrypt the message. When the message is sent, the receiving computer uses its private key to unlock the message.
Once the message is on the receiving computer, anyone with access to the account can view it, which is why this sort of encryption is usually used with a password-protected system.
The trick to making this work is how the numbers are related. They need to be generated using incredibly complex equations that are so time-consuming for computers to solve that it makes stealing the information impractical or impossible. This block effectively neutralizes the threat of information being hijacked in transit.
And this is where Simmons and Shallue's work comes in. They are working on theoretical applications of the technology, based on equations for curves on a graph.
"A lot of systems do this by multiplying huge prime numbers," Simmons said. "This involves adding points on a graph together and is even more difficult to solve because there are literally thousands of possibilities to solve the equation."
Simmons and Shallue plan to continue their research and publish a paper on their findings this school year.
After graduation, Simmons plans to attend graduate school and eventually get a job designing computer and data security. He's grateful for the opportunity to take part in the Eckley scholarship program.
"It's a great program," he said. "It really helps further research, and it's just a great opportunity for students to get hands-on experience and dedicate some real time to their fields of interest."

It's faster, it's mobile friendly—and we'd love you to have a sneak peek. Click here to preview
I knelt down, pulling Jennifer and Ryan close. "Things are going to be different today," I said, "and for a long time. The car's all packed. Mommy's not going to work today. We're going on a trip..."
I couldn't believe we were actually doing this. But then, I couldn't believe I had been trapped in an abusive marriage, a woman like me. I had a good job with a good company. Good education.
I'd come from a loving family, my parents happily married. I'd connected with a church and was no stranger to prayer, but lately all my prayers had been, God, give me strength to get through the day.
Joe had swept me off my feet with his flamboyant charm, flattering me, giving me presents, doting on me. It was only later, after we were married, that I discovered his other side. The drinking, the cruel verbal abuse, the threats, the affairs.
He had been abused as a child and I wanted to make excuses for him, but when he told me what he'd do to me if I left him, I was terrified. I couldn't hide my tears from my children anymore.
My faith gave me the courage to seek a counselor and admit to her what was happening. I talked to an attorney and made an appointment with a private investigator.
On a lunch break I stayed in the office and found a website for domestic violence, looking over my shoulder as I read, as though Joe would be right behind me, staring at every word.
"Are you in an abusive relationship?" the site asked. "Does your spouse put you down?...Stop you from seeing your friends or family members?...Tell you that you're a bad parent?...Act like the abuse is no big deal?...Threaten to kill you?"
I said yes to everything. With each answer, my denial crumbled. It was impossible to ignore what my life had become. I felt as though the site knew me, knew Joe, and knew the hell I was living. I clicked the header Get Help.
The site mapped out all the steps to take. How to escape. How to protect yourself. How to make a file with all the necessary documents: birth certificates, passports, tax returns.
Download a Free eBook filled with stories that show you how to transform life's challenges into opportunities!
I created a folder at work and drew a purple ribbon on the upper right-hand corner, purple because that was the color of domestic-violence awareness.
I went to the private investigator and confided what Joe had said he'd do to me and how he'd get away with it all. The investigator took notes and promised to look into the threats. Two weeks later I returned and sat across the desk from him. He didn't mince words.
"You are in serious danger for your life," he told me. "You need to get away and you need to take your children with you."
How would I do it? Where would I go? I prayed for wisdom, prayed for guidance, prayed for strength, a strength stronger than my fear.
I consulted the website. I would have to share my story with others in order to build a team, but I had to be very careful. Anybody who helped me would be taking big risks themselves. And some would probably not even believe me.
I called an associate who lived 1,000 miles away. We worked closely together in the same department, only in different cities, and we were often in touch. I knew she was a woman of faith and I felt I could take her into my confidence.

(This is the last of the Summer Series of Fish Reports with Fall Camp starting next week. It was an eventful summer as the Fish Report was the first from the web or any media source in the state to identify, describe, and announce the New 3-4 Defense that Oregon transitioned into this last year. On offense, the Fish Report was also the first to identify and explain in detail the two major running plays that the Oregon Spread Offense is predicated upon. There are numerous other variations and play-groups in the Oregon Spread Offense, but in five years of running the Spread, we had yet to have anyone show us the differences of these two plays, (the Inside Zone Read and the Outside Zone Read) along with the keys to spotting them until the Fish Report of last week. This last report is meant to be a "fun" read as it is absent the Xs and Os, and is a tribute to the young men who are quietly….the most important players on the team. See you on the practice field!   Charles Fischer)
We all know the unsung heroes of everyday life; the company that survives due to the huge efforts of the workers who toil long hours for lower pay. The single mother who gets her kids through college or the teacher that changes the direction of the life of a youth. We know they exist on the battlefield….the soldiers who nobody knows about who saved the day while sacrificing for others. These are the people who drive our progression forward as a nation, whether their impact as heroes is great or small. The results of these unknown efforts are felt by so many of us in all areas of life, and even in sports. These honorable people CAN hold their head high….as they know that they are giving to everyone else for a greater purpose. There is nobility to these people, who do what is right, and what has to be done for others without any recognition or acclaim. Yes, there are some of these sacrificing heroes who step on the field at Autzen doing the difficult tasks for the team without anyone noticing.
Oregon is becoming a fixture in the top ten team rankings, but also in the NCAA rankings for Scoring, as we were in eighth place for the entire season, even with the set-backs at Boise and in the Rose Bowl. We learned in the last report about the basic running plays that Oregon runs with great success, even while there are other teams who try to experiment with the Zone Read plays. It is very hard for a team to emulate our offense or parts of it unless they make a total commitment to it. Coach Kelly has said that, "if your players have not run that play in a critical situation over a thousand times in practice, you will not have a chance to be successful." Can teams begin to Zone Read the Defensive Tackle (DT) as described in the last report? They can try, but how can they get the reps to practice it as well as their usual offense? At the beginning of the '06 season…I asked OC Gary Crowton at Oregon Club how we were going to counter defenses putting an extra man in the box against us when we had two RBs in the backfield. What was his answer? "We're working on it." (He didn't know) Chip has trained our QBs to identify when a safety cheats up into the box, and the result is a bubble pass on the sideline that results in an easy ten yards. That is the difference between a coach that is "trying" the spread versus a truly Spread Offense Coach. I'm glad Chip is on our side!
College football can be a quite humorous when you run replays slowly, and Bo Thran gave us a great example of that in the USC game. Its 12:42 left in the third quarter and we're lined up in an Inside Zone Read formation that looks to go to the left, because the RB is behind the QB on the right. (Remember he sweeps in front of the QB right to left with the mesh and goes to the left side of the LOS for an inside hole) We are lined up that way, but Masoli turns and just hands off to LaMike with no mesh or zone reading. The RB is headed straight for the right side of our line….it's a POWER PLAY! Everyone on the right side is double-teaming or taking a Trojan defender on the LOS. As the USC LB comes up to meet James in the gap….we have Bo Thran meet the LB first! Bo had pulled from the left guard spot, and zipped down the LOS rightward, and then turned up in the hole and PULVERIZED this LB. Thran truly knocked him on his butt, as Bo then loomed over him. As he tried to get up we see Thran shoot his hips and BLAST into this Trojan and send him spinning and somersaulting backwards! What a riot! You could do a YouTube of it and insert your own captions…"how DARE you rise before me!" I would have felt sorry for the poor LB….if he wasn't from USC.
Our first Touchdown against USC was an example of that innovative play or reading the DT in the Zone Read instead of the DE. Zone Reading, or optioning a Defensive Tackle is rare in college football, but Oregon is unique in neutralizing a big-boy like the Trojan's Jurrell Casey. (A good strategy inside the five yard line!) We had the RB behind and slightly to the left of the QB, which indicates an Inside Zone Read play to the right side of the line. Masoli turns to do the mesh with LaMichael, while reading the DT, who is coming into the gap after being unblocked. Carson York at LG turns to help Holmes with a Double-Team block, and then Carson slides off to attack the MLB, Galippo of USC. Dickson blocks the DE on that side with an OLB coming up to fill the gap, which is now Darion Weems responsibility. Meanwhile as the RB and QB are doing the mesh—we see the DT take off after the RB as he runs right-ward. Now the gap where the DT occupied is open and Masoli pulls the ball out of the mesh and goes forward. Weems has a tough assignment as the LB has speed and space to make the tackle of our QB, so Darion does an "ole" and lets the LB through him a bit, and then Darion makes contact, and pulls him down to the ground like a wrestler's takedown with Weems on top! JM now cruises easily in the end zone through the gap that is sealed by Dickson/Weems on one side and York/Holmes on the other. Sweet! (Now if I was a Trojan fan…I'd have been screaming at the hold/tackling block, but since it was right in front of an official….it MUST have been legal!) Fantastic blocking and teamwork by all on the O-Line when USC lined up with EIGHT in the box….and our young men made it look easy. Wow.
We have a great drive going in the third quarter and want to score from inside the ten yard line. We come out with an Inside Zone Read formation again with the RB on Masoli's left, to go to the right side of the Offensive line for the plunge. USC has eight in the box as their super-hyped safety, Taylor Mayes, who just gave a cheap-shot to JM in the back a little earlier in the game, has crept forward. The play looks like the Inside Zone Read, but is a Power Play to the left side of the line! Great job of hats-on-hats on the play-side as everyone has a man to block….and they do it well. David Paulson does a terrific job on the DE, and Dickson in motion as an H-Back comes through to block the OLB. Right after Masoli hands off to James we see the stout Mark Asper coming around the mound after pulling from his Right Guard spot. He turns the corner and DESTROYS Mr. Five-Star Taylor Mayes, and nearly knocks him to the goal line. A fraction of a second later….Asper felt/heard the ROOSH behind him as LaMichael sped past and into the end zone easily AGAIN. What a great play…and a great memory for Mark; nice hit and a touchdown for his teammate. I've gotta think that late at night in bed, he has to remember that play and snicker. I know I would!
What is a ROOSH? It is when, as an offensive lineman, you make a great block and hear/feel the RB running right behind you, the WHOOSH sound. Since it's your Running Back teammate, it's a ROOSH. It is a tremendous feeling to make that hit, feel the ROOSH, and as you're finishing your block….sneak a peek downfield and see your teammate score as the sound of the crowd swallows you up. You know that due to YOU and your OL teammates…he scored. Without you….he is stuck for a two yard loss. Nobody saw the blocks, or understood them, but YOU knew. It's been 37 years and I STILL remember some of the great ROOSHES from when I played. All these years later, and yet those memories are still so satisfying. I can't even imagine what it's like for our beloved Duck Offensive Linemen……
Remember that play against USC where LaMichael James popped out of the pile and ran for another forty yards? It was a POWER PLAY again as we are lined up in an Inside Zone Read Backfield with the RB on the right side of JM and behind him. But at the snap we see no zone read, and a simple handoff to James who speeds to the right side of the line. Everyone is blocking well, and Paulson has the difficult task of blocking a talented USC DE and yet he keeps him out of the play. Holmes has a tough job of snapping the ball accurately, and shimming his body over to the right to get position on this Trojan NT. This is all done so fast….snap, step, shimmy, and BLAST. For someone like me who still trips over slightly elevated parts on the sidewalk…it's hard to believe the speed, agility, and strength it takes to be a good center like Holmes. He also calls out the blocking schemes at the LOS….so he has a TON on his mind as the play begins. Jordan does a great job inside that no one sees due to being in the middle of the "mound."
So the blocking is good on the LOS, but that USC LB is coming up hard again to fill that gap when CARSON YORK turns the corner (Power Plays usually have a pulling guard) and nails him so hard that the LB is struggling to stay on his feet like a boxer who has been dazed. You gotta replay it and HEAR the hit. It is one of the biggest THWACKS I've heard from a block, and I must have cranked the stereo up and heard it a half-dozen times.  I don't know how he doesn't laugh when thinking of it….I was laughing watching it! Wow what a hit…..
Sometimes our Offensive Linemen are stuck on an island and have to do their best with a bad matchup for them. With 3:07 left in the second quarter, we are on our own 20 yard line and we actually run a pass play from the pocket. Asper and Holmes did a super job containing and guiding the Trojan rush into a mass in the middle, while the receivers took off downfield. The remaining element was the Five-Star USC Defensive End, elite athlete, Everson Griffin bull-rushing from the outside. He is known to have a blinding-fast first step, and he is one tremendous player and athlete. I'm squirming for CE Kaiser who has this almost impossible matchup as the two-star takes on one of the nation's best five star Defensive players. To compound the problem—we see Griffin rush HARD to the outside right which effectively leaves Kaiser one-on-one with him. Masoli is surveying the field while to his right we see Kaiser hand fighting Griffin and taking the rapid small steps that pass-blocking footwork requires. Everson now explodes toward the QB and CE uses that strength to leverage him PAST our QB! JM sees the massive gap created and takes off for 49 yards—wow. Play it back and you'll see that Kaiser took on everybody's All-American and kept him from our QB for FOUR and a HALF SECONDS while being isolated on the play with NO HELP. Everyone saw JM run downfield, and NOONE saw the incredible job that Kaiser did on that play. How can you not LOVE a Duck like that?
It is difficult in college football to hold opponents to fewer than twenty points, thus it is crucial to have a high scoring offense as Oregon does. To score tons of points, you have to have superb blocking because without it….the Running backs go nowhere, and the QB doesn't have time to throw no matter how good he or our receivers are. Chip Kelly states that, "the five offensive linemen are the key to your football team," yet they do NOT get any statistics such as, Interceptions, Sacks, Receptions, RB yardage, or Touchdowns. Nobody wears their jersey number, or recounts their amazing efforts, as they truly are ignored or unknown to the fans of our beloved team. They give it their all because they love the game, and for the good of all of the team, and for the teammates who get the glory. Their only trophies are memories of the big hits they delivered, the ROOSH past behind them, and the roar of the Autzen crowd as their Running Back scored. Then much later, these Offensive Linemen smile to themselves as they realize that those memories are the only reward they ever really wanted.
Now THAT, my friends, is the NOBILITY OF HEROES.

"This is an excellent recipe!!!! It is the same as I have used for years and is perfect every time. try a little nutmeg for a tad more flavor. thanks for posting"
"Great Recipe! For those of you who found it difficult to put the layers together due to the jam slipping try mixing the jam with the cream cheese frosting first. I also poke holes in my layers so that some of the moisture from the filling can seep into the cake. Works wonderfully! Thanks for the recipe it is a keeper:)"

Verified Purchase
The nib is a decent-but-not-exceptional fine nib. Everything seems to fit
together pretty well. My favorite things about the pen are the fairly "old
fashioned" aspects of it. Screw on cap, plus a color scheme whereby the section
matches the body, and the cap is the alternate color. Most other pens of this
price point have cap and body of one color, with the section in the alternate.
The plastic doesn't feel quite as nice as, say, a Lamy Safari, but this pen is
cheaper and has fairly unique stylings for an entry-level.
Strictly speaking, I don't have this pen. I have a different Clear Candy, but this was the color I wanted and they were out of stock. And while I like it, I don't feel I need to buy a second one just to get the color combination I prefer. |

Verified Purchase
I got this pen thinking it would be good for me to take to work. The pen itself
is very cute and doesn't feel ridiculously cheap, but got a bit uncomfortable
for me after writing extended periods (had to use too much pressure). In
addition, the nib and I don't get along- there's quite a bit of jumping, so much
that I had to go back and fix letters especially on downward strokes. I don't
have time to deal with that on work forms (incidentally, it does pretty well on
carbon copy paper). On the plus side, it does use the converter so you aren't
tied to cartridges. I wouldn't get another one, I'd rather save up and get a
different Sailor.
