Haknpoints: Messing With Run Fits
META: Okay hivemind, I think I'm gonna break the Tuesday column formerly known as Hokepoints (and Museday) into different columns, alternating between stat stuff and Xs and Os stuff. Gimme name ideas. Jimmystats and Jimmypens? I'm at a loss.
Lynn Sladky, AP via Freep.
In his profile in heroism on Harbaugh yesterday, Brian mentioned that THIS pro-style offense at least sometimes does things other than what the defense wants/expects/prepared for:
Those 5.2s [rushing YPC in 2009, 2010 and 2011 at Stanfard] are crazy given the context—on par with Rodriguez's Denard-era run games minus, you know, Denard. This is not a scheme that's just "run it until you stop it"—Harbaugh is trying to screw with your run fits every play.
I thought I'd get into that screwing just a bit because one thing we haven't seen much of at Michigan is someone who knows how to run a power offense correctly. We've seen DeBord and Borges run it poorly, and we've seen Nussmeier try to mold it onto a horizontal spread while still fulfilling Hoke's mandate that at least one tight end must be doing something he's bad at every play.
For something approximating what I expect Michigan will run I went back to the last game Harbaugh coached in college, the 2011 Orange Bowl. Stanford faced Bud Foster's quarters defense, which is helpful since VT's scheme is from the same tree that Michigan State and Ohio State now run.
This was an evisceration. Stanford called 27 running plays and got 300 yards (8.6 YPC) from them. You can remove garbage time (optional since Harbaugh was still running his offense full-bore at 34-12) and it's still 182 yards on 22 carries, for 8.3 YPC. A lot of those were deep gashes—60 yards, 26 yards, 56 yards—which is what you'd expect against a defense that usually gives its safeties gap assignments. I'll show you how the first of those gashes was set up.
Step 1: Scissors.
The first play from scrimmage Stanford came out in a standard I-formation: inline fullback, tight end off the line. Anyone who's scouted Stanford would guess they're going to run their bread 'n butter play: Power-O. We've been over that one before: the backside guard pulls, everyone else has to pin defenders in their spots, and then that pulling guard and the fullback and the RB all come downhill at the MLB, and the resulting yardage is determined by the resulting collision.
Harbaugh showed it without running it with a clever counter that sold the defense on Power-O then had the FB reverse direction and head into the flat, where the rolling out Andrew Luck had essentially a vertical option play on the isolated DB (I labeled him the BCB but I think I got him and the FS confused on the diagram):
He ran a West Coast play from the shotgun on the ensuing 1st down, and then on 2nd and 4 tried to put a power run on the backside with a pass look:
This was blown up by the MLB shooting the gap abandoned by the pulling right guard. A third down pass attempt was blown up when a blitzer wasn't picked up.

This Week's Obsession: Best O?
Shane's not Gardner enough to be worth changing the offense to take better advantage of his legs, but the offense might be? [Upchurch]
Ace: What type of offense do you want M's coach to run next year? Explain how you're factoring current personnel vs. ideal scheme when coming to your decision as well, if you could.
Brian: Whatever the coach is good at. This was the right move for Rodriguez in 2007 when there wasn't much talent no matter what you did with it. It was not in 2011 when you had a sui generis talent like Denard at your disposal. 2011 Michigan fought it at times (Notre Dame, Iowa) but for the most part shrugged and tried to adapt.
I'm not seeing a whole lot that's worth adapting to at the moment. Morris looks far away from viability, Speight's a redshirting unknown, and Malzone will be a true freshman (unless he decommits). The OL is going to be the OL still, and the main distinction between OLs is what you try to run a lot of, not whether there's a fast QB behind you or a slow one.
So, yeah, whatever your bag is, man. Obviously you can't run a spread 'n' shred with the available personnel but you've got enough mobility in the QBs to keep 'em honest Forcier-style if that is your bag, and as Mississippi State and Ohio State have demonstrated in recent years there's quite a lot of power in spread offenses that want to go that route.
And unless it's Harbaugh it's likely to be a spread guy. Broken record time: pro-style coaches attractive enough to get the job and poachable are hard to find.
[After the jump: sirens]
Hokepoints Seeks Hope in Hazell
I know Hoke said they spent the bye week on Michigan's "identity," by which we're pretty sure he meant scrapping any semblance of sense again in favor of slamming fullbacks into people and praying for the turnover fairy to stop hating us. But for those people actually interested in how to defeat Michigan State's lauded/loathed defense, it appears to be vulnerable when you spread 'em out and test them deep.
Quarters redux
You should remember how their thing works. The defensive backs read the inside (#2) receiver; if that guy goes vertical the DBs play cover 4; if that guy goes horizontal they play Cover 2.
Red: #2 receiver goes vertical. Blue: #2 receiver doesn't go vertical
With that many guys reading, the defense can play "9 in the box," by which they mean the safeties are part of the run fits. Their run D is gap-oriented.
Just an example. They change up who's got what
Note that screens and such are treated as runs.
[After the jump: tripping them up.]
Hokepoints PSA: Always MIKE Before You Hike
Tom always MIKEs before he hikes.
We here at MGoheadquarters recently received some disturbing news about today's youth:
Devin Gardner on SiriusXM: "Before coach Nuss got here, I never had to identify a MIKE ... now I know where pressure's coming from."
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) August 20, 2014
Kids these days are running around playing three or four years of Division I FBS major conference Block-M-Michigan football without ever identifying the MIKE. !. This sudden revelation has caused widespread histeria. Al Borges has been fired 180 times in the last several hours, and right now Dave Brandon and key personnel are closed off with Rich Rodriguez, deciding whether he needs to get a superfluous extra axe as well. This is calamitous. Catastrophic. Grievous. Pernicious. Regrettable. And avoidable.
What in the name of Double-Pointing Brady Hoke are you people talking about?
MIKE (v.): The act of identifying the middle defender inside the box on the 2nd level for purposes of establishing protection assignments.
It's basically calling out the defense's alignment, using a very simple mechanism: declare one linebacker—the one in the middle of the defense—to be a fifth guy that the five linemen are responsible for blocking.
|Chad always MIKEs before he hikes.
This is often, but by no means always, the middle linebacker, which many defenses call a "Mike," which is where the term comes from. This is important: the [guy playing the defensive position called] Mike doesn't get to be all-time MIKE. In fact the very reason we MIKE is because Mike the Mike might not be the MIKE, and not knowing this might get your quarterback very badded.
Why is MIKEing important to my children?
Because if the MIKE blitzes there's no way for outside protection to pick him up, so the offensive line has to assign everybody's blocking with that guy accounted for somehow. Defenses LOOOOOOOOVE to screw with this because that's how you get unblocked blitzers, and unblocked blitzers right through the heart of the OL are the best!
When the defense screws with you, you don't have time to point at everybody and say "you block him; you block him." So ONE guy calls out the MIKE and everyone else in the blocking scheme already knows what that means. Usually they call out what sounds like a playcall—it's just a blocking call. "Tango!" "Lightning!" "Red!" "Green!" "Taupe Carpet!"*
|Brian always MIKEs before he hikes. [James Squire|Getty]
Like in running, pass pro can be man or zone (slide protection). Man makes sure every defender who could be blitzing has a guy assigned to block him (or as is often the case, a man who checks one guy then looks to another). In zone they're blocking gaps: A gap, B gap, C gap, etc. Whatever protection scheme, they have to "declare the MIKE." What they do from there depends on the scheme.
* My dad used colors/nonsense words for playcalls: Blue Jumbo, Yellow Turbo, Purple Eskimo etc. Since he didn't like to use the same "play" twice he got pretty deep into the crayola box before parents' complaints in re: his Lombardi cigar ended his coaching career.
[After the jump, Y U NO MIKE, DG?, and you learn to MIKE]
Hokepoints Reps Zone Stretch
This is a companion piece to last week's refresher on inside zone, Michigan's new base play. Outside Zone, also known as the Zone Stretch, is one of two very common complementary plays to IZ, because the technique for the offense isn't very different, but the way the defense has to defend it is (the other complementary play is Power-O, Michigan's extremely nominal base play the last few years).
OZ Resources: Smart Football, Roll Bama Roll, FishDuck (Oregon), BTSC (Steelers) Mile High Report (Denver Broncos), how to Mike.
Outside Zone Defined
The difference, as made obvious by the name, is the point of attack. Inside Zone blocks "downhill"; the running back aims for the first line defender past the center, and picks a lane to either side of the guards. In Outside Zone the back is running to a point outside the five linemen. Some coaches say run to the back of your tight end, others say run to the end man on the line of scrimmage (EMLOS); it comes to the same thing.
Here's Alex Gibbs (from the Elway-era Broncos), via Smart Football:
This is another "base" play. If the defense plays sound against it, the success of the play comes down to execution and talent. As with IZ, if the defense gets too aggressive the reaction to that is built into the play.
This isn't a play that attacks multiple sides; it threatens outside and can come back inside if the defense overreacts to that. Since we're coming into this from a fan perspective I won't get into the footwork you can't see, but you'll recognize Outside Zone immediately because the linemen start out by moving sideways.
As you can see, reps, reps, and more reps turn this into a possibly devastating play. The more you run it, the better the team will react to various things defenders do. In the video above Gibbs talks about the guards "making the read for him [the RB]". The big breaks from OZ come when a guard or center sees a defender reacting too aggressively, let that guy run himself out of the play, and then destroy a back-filling defender.
Recognize Alignment
Like inside zone, the offensive linemen have to read the defensive front to decide before the play begins who they're blocking. The "covered" rules still apply: if someone's lined up over you, you're covered; if not you're uncovered:
The general rule of coveredness still applies: if there's a guy lined up over you, you have to block him. But the whole idea of a zone stretch is it slides the line, so if you're uncovered that means you have to reach the next defender to the playside of you, and if you're covered you're looking to 1) get playside of that dude and 2) combo block him with your uncovered buddy, and 3) release and get downfield.
Combo Blocks
Combo blocking is one of the things that takes lots and lots of reps. The essential blocking rule is don't let anybody cross your visor, and block the guy in your zone. Outside Zone's strength against a base defense is it creates double-teams at the point of attack
How It's Defended
Outside Zone pairs well with Inside Zone because a defense used to IZ can get caught inside, but that should be rare with a well-coached defense because the play is quite obvious from the first step by the offensive linemen, and from what's going on in the backfield (the RB isn't coming downhill). As soon as the defense realizes this they have to get on their horses and prevent the offensive linemen from flanking them, but because of the threat of the cutback, the defense also has to maintain gap responsibility.
There's gonna be a huge temptation for the EMLOS, with the play headed right for him, to square up and end the play right there, but the most important thing (unless they've given him extraordinary safety help) for him is to keep the play inside. The offense knows this, and a good tight end who can get that EMLOS skating wide can create a big hole to run through; a bad tight end will let the EMLOS get leverage and hold him inside, squeezing the hole shut.
Keys to Success
Every little thing the offense does has a potential to make or break this play. The faster the RB makes his cut and accelerates through the decided hole, the bigger this can break.
A fleet-footed, quick-thinking, tough sumbitch of an interior lineman can really make this go. David Molk could consistently get playside of a guy lined up shaded strong on him, and could react so well to defenders that he'd often make the RB's job easy, abandoning a defender running himself out of the play to catch a chasing linebacker and create a gaping hole.
Outside Zone is where a great running back can really shine and a just-a-guy can make the play barely more than a side show. Mike Hart, with his great vision for a developing hole, his super-quick and decisive cut, his great acceleration, and his tiny stature in comparison to the mountain of flesh in front of him, was an awesome Outside Zone running back; if only he had stayed healthy the one year he got to run it consistently.
[One sample play and more coming, after the jump]
Hokepoints Reps Inside Zone
By the end of this article you should be able to make an educated guess
as to what Braden is saying to A.J. Williams [Fuller]
You may have heard Michigan has a new offensive identity, by which of course we mean Michigan now has an offensive identity. We think. We're told. Evidence for this is Michigan hired a new OC who runs inside zone, and he has even Brady Hoke talking about it being our base thing. This thing is totally happening. I mean if they hadn't sworn up and down for three years that Power was going to be their thi...
Let's just not go into that and focus on inside zone and how to watch inside zone, and how to be correctly disappointed with the correct person when inside zone isn't run very well. Since this is a new thing, and the offensive line are all relatively new things themselves, and the recent history of Michigan football has given you no reason to believe otherwise, and there are some really good defensive linemen Michigan has to go against this year, let's concede right now that Michigan isn't going to be running inside zone very well this season, especially early. Let's pretend like the coaches are going to stick it out anyway and let it play out.
IZ Resources: As well as the above-linked articles, I drew from Chris Brown at Smart Football, and this article that quotes Chris Brown on a Philly Eagles website. And Space Coyote wrote an entire article on IZ and some plays that stem from it in this year's HTTV; I'm sure he'll pipe in as soon as I mess something up here.
|Every blocker is responsible for whatever defender appears in the "zone" he's responsible for blocking.
A Temperate Zone
What's inside zone? Maybe it's best to start with what it's not: man. In MANBALL, most linemen have an assigned guy to block; a lead blocker (sometimes a puller) is the only dude who has to make a tough, mid-play decision, and the running back just has to follow that guy.
Inside zone is a base running play where all the blockers are reacting to the defense, not just a lead guy, and the running back has to choose from among various holes that could open up. It takes a different set of skills, mastery of a different set of blocks, and most of all: reps reps and more reps so that everybody can make split-second decisions and those decisions will be correct.
That's not to say all decisions are made after the snap. In fact most blocking assignments are determined by how the defense is lined up. In many cases it won't be all that discernible from man-blocking.
yellow is uncovered. click bigginates.
The read OL have to make is whether they're "covered" or not. Covered means there's a DL lined up across from you. If there isn't, you are "uncovered" and most likely you'll get to go hunting linebackers. But first you look next to you and see if there's a defender shaded to the playside of your buddy; he may need help with that lineman before you release downfield. If that defender is a beast your buddy may need all the help he can get. You deal with the first level defenders before you worry about stopping linebackers.
Almost always, more than one defender will arrive in a blocker's zone. So zone blocking means lots of shared blocking. Ultimately the blocking ends up being 2-on-2 instead of 1-on-1. For example in captioned illustration above-right, the center and right guard are together responsible for blocking the nose tackle and the middle linebacker.
Footwork Impeccable
Offensive linemen in high school seldom get the right footwork down. Zone-blocking footwork isn't the same as pile-driving some dude, for one; and two it's not something many high school coaches know how to teach; and three if you're a 6'6"/300 future Big Ten OL and your job is to block a 6'0"/180 future Big Ten economics major, your greatest motivation to pay attention to your feet is probably the preservation of your prom date's.
In this moment it matters greatly. You need to get off the snap, get playside of your defender, get downfield, and get your feet set beneath you, your hands inside, and your pads beneath his so you can ride him out of the play, stonewall him, or shove him downfield; you let him dictate his fate.
On inside zone, an uncovered guy's first step is always to the play-side, not directly toward the guy you're going to block (the OL taking this step is a good indicator it's a zone-blocked rather than man-blocked play). This is because the DL don't always come straight upfield; you don't want them running by you.
Your job is to block the guy trying to cross you. If someone lined up inside you and ran further inside you, he's not yours. Your head stays downfield until you lock on a target, and any object that attempts to cross your field of vision must be stopped.
That Rabbit's Dynamite
Interesting example of a 1) a cutback and 2) the U starting on the strongside of the formation then executing his backside block almost like a lead blocker
Mastering the combo blocks and footwork to respond to all the things defenses throw at you takes a bazillion reps. The upside: inside zone, like option offenses, is a multi-attack threat that can go where the defense doesn't. A called IZ play could end up going outside, or inside, or cut to the backside depending on how your opponent defends it. A well-run IZ offense doesn't let defensive fronts play aggressively; if they want to stop you they'll have to activate the safeties in the run game, opening up the pass. It's not wimpy; it's smashmouth football that—as you'll see—relies mostly on crushing blocks to break things big.
[After the jump I'll show some sample executions versus various defensive alignments so you can get a sense of how it attacks and what factors lead to its success.]

Some roses from my garden, mostly OGR
Some of my roses, hope you like.
Louise Odier
Mme Pierre Oger
Rosa Chinensis Major Alba
Yuka, Fl
Oh, sigh. Love them!!! My favs are: Yuka (never heard of that one before), Ispahan, Kazanlik (never heard of it), and Louise Odier. Louise Odier is out of this world gorgeous!!!! I would order that one in a minute, if my local greenhouse had it. My goodness!!!!!
Thank you!!!
soooo beautiful, bgrose, and I'm so happy/thrilled that you are placing these very rare special roses on our Rose Gallery! I wish more antique rose people would post at our Gallery, because it lets us see all the rare historical roses. What a unique coloration Yuka is. Krista loves her Odier and Oger roses too and once recommended them as roses that would do really well in my zone. Alas, all pinks fade to white in my garden, so I can no longer get any pinks except for the deep, deep pinks. I've got an overload of pink roses that make my garden look like nothing but white roses, lol!
Carol, I told Wes, a friend to either get Ispahan or Kazanlik, because those were the 2 roses that would have bloomed during Marie Antoinette's time. He was real fascinated by the painting of Marie Antoinette carrying her rose and wondered what pink rose it might have been.
Ispahan or Kazanlik are very ancient and date in the very early 1700s, maybe even the late 1600s, when roses first came to Europe. They are once-bloomers, but the history goes waaaaaay back further than even the Old Blush Damask roses and are actually the ancestors of the very first European damask rose. That is if my memory serves me correctly. Probably the antiques people can help out in case my dates are screwed up.
During the height of Marie Antoinette's reign, the Queen helped introduce them as the "haute couture" flower, lol! At the time there were just a bare handful of species of roses. Some of the Kazanlik did have enough petal layers though what I saw of the Peter Beales rose, but! I did tell Wes that I did think it was Ispahan over the Kazanlik....
Bgrose, your Ispahan would go beautifully with that painting :) Thanks for sharing all your Lovely roses.
Thank you for the beautiful story...it is so touching. I will post a picture of Ispahan later when in full bloom because it is a favourite of me too. However I think it is another rose on the portrait, not related to my garden unfortunately. Ispahan starts blooming a little later than other Damasks, that is why I did not post a fully opened flower of it yet. It is very vigorous healthy rose, more orderly than Kazanlik and can be a good climber, produces many blooms, very spectacular. The bush on the portrait is rather low for Ispahan, I think.
Yuka is Japanese floribunda, it has big blooms of nice color, very good repeat. Thanks for good words all.
Bgrose, you must have an absolutely lovely garden with the Damasks. Usually only the very advanced gardeners can have the damasks or once bloomers, because they only bloom once a year and therefore the roses have to be entwined and integrated very well with other colors that stay perpetual in the garden. Wow, a spectacular climber! Please be sure to post the photo of Ispahan when it gets ready to enter its major flush. I would love to see it! my roses only produce moderate-decent flushes, never SPECTACULAR, lol! I drool whenever I see the Spectacular, especially with the climbers and if they can manage to climb in my cold zone. I can only get cruel Cornelia, Viking Queen and Jules to maintain that climbing potential. I call Cornelia cruel because she will keep her buds for 8 whole weeks before finally opening up those flowers! I think she is the only one to have prolific sprays of blooms but that's just this spring. Last year she only had 3 flushes the ENTIRE SEASON and only a bare handful of blooms each time. Right now the entire bush is covered with buds but they are still at a standstill and only 3 have opened. But she's not Spectacular, simply because even if those buds do open at once, the blooms are tiny. Oh, well, I can't complain because at least they are very fragrant to my nose. I simply expect small roses like hers to bloom more often especially if they are labeled continual bloomers, lol! I bet all of your small-blossomed roses are far more successful and look far more SPECTACULAR, lol!
I think we should appreciate the roses we have, I know the roses I grow could not be compared to those of other people who have a better environment than me, but I think they are nice and charming to me because I have put some effort in them. I hope you enjoy your gardening and find the experience rewarding, and are not disappointed by the results if the result is not as you expected. I wish I had a better climate too.
No, I do not entwine other plants with the damasks, of which I have 4 bushes, they just stay green in the summer to autumn because foliage is pretty healthy. I have one damask which actually blooms in autumn too.

After months of searching, trying everything under the sun I found a solution that seems to address all the battery/power issues with this tab: - open the back cover - find the battery power connector - unplug it and let sit for 10 minutes - during this time hit your power button a few times - reconnect the battery connector - put the back on the tablet and voila. Your battery has been reset and should charge completely and no longer give you problems. I tried it and I havent had a battery problems since then. I hope it works for you, please let me know.

Wilkinson eyes kicking coach role
ESPN Staff
June 1, 2012

Jonny Wilkinson has revealed that he is considering turning to a kicking coach role once he decides to call time on his career.
One of the most famous fly-halves to ever play the game, Wilkinson's reputation is partly forged on his accurate kicking and meticulous attention to detail. Aged 33, Wilkinson is showing no signs of slowing down over at Toulon and although he has called time on his England career, he still hopes to continue playing an active role in the Top 14. But when retirement eventually does cross his path, Wilkinson is already putting in the hours coaching others rather than just on his own game.
"I spend as much of my time now helping and coaching others as I do working on my own game," Wilkinson told the Evening Standard. "But that doesn't mean I've taken time off my own game. But I just can't help it if I see young kickers but ask if I can be of assistance. I love the feeling of coaching one on one.
"I love the skills science and the thought process more than anything. Hopefully I'm in a good position to help as I've spent all the years thinking every morning about how I can improve, working on the wheres and how tos. I like to be able to help people so they don't think they have to go out there and feel like they're doing it on their own."
Prior to Toulon, Wilkinson was turning out for the Newcastle Falcons in the Premiership and although many have asked him in the past why he did not make the move sooner from Newcastle to the Top 14, Wilkinson admits that the decision to leave the Falcons was pretty much made for him.
"I've asked myself that question quite a few times," Wilkinson said. "But I never would have left Newcastle had it not been for the fact that they pretty much told me to go, that they were better off without me from a financial point of view. I'd never have gone otherwise. But had I not experienced what I have here in France, I would have had regrets. It's been good for me."

A few things to keep in mind about this bill and the Keystone generally.
1. Was this an item that the GOP should have put at the top of its agenda? Is it even the most important item on the energy agenda?
2. The Keystone is a pipeline being proposed by Canadians to ship Canadian oil across our country to refineries and ports on the Gulf Coast with no guarantee it will be consumed in the U.S.
3. The number of jobs that will be created by building the pipeline keeps shrinking, from 100,000 down to a few thousand, and these jobs will be temporary.
4. Do the Canadians still want to build the pipeline? Tar sands oil is expensive to extract and of low quality, getting $20-$30 less per barrel than sweet crude. If oil continues at its present $50/barrel plus or minus, oil sands production will no longer be economically viable and fields will shut down.
5.The oil drillers in Alberta are competing with our own domestic energy production companies.
This Keystone bill is political. It has everything to do with skewering the President and little to do with energy policy.

Record-setting performances and huge intra-conference wins highlighted the action from Week 10 of the 2013 NFL Season. Here are five things we learned:
Record-setting performances and huge intra-conference wins highlighted the action from Week 10 of the 2013 NFL Season. Here are five things we learned:
The national title picture came a little more into focus with Oregon falling (again) to Stanford. But there is still a lot that can happen as we enter the season's final month. Here's what we learned in Week 11 that could shake up the season.
An SEC football showdown and the start of the college basketball season highlight the sports calendar. Here's what to watch this weekend:
Congratulations to Jennifer Jeffers -- she's the winner of our trip to Los Angeles to see Pearl Jam's two shows in Los Angeles later this month!
Another exciting week of college football gets an early start with two huge games on Thursday night. Here's what to watch for this week:
Week 9 of the 2013 NFL season illustrated that no lead is safe, and no outcome is a given. Here's what we learned on Sunday:
A week in which many of the top teams were off certainly didn't lack for action with some exciting games and one of the wildest endings you will ever see. Here is what we learned in Week 10.
All this month, we're giving away $10,000 right here on the site. Plus we're giving listeners two chances every day to win $1,000 (just listen all day for your cue to call, and when you hear it, be caller 25 at 1-877-854-WINS).
That's because we're obsessed with cash.

We're getting into crunch time of the college football season with division races tightening up and the national title hunt taking shape. Here are some of the big storylines that could shake up college football this week.

Because it's been at least a few days since the Tea Party tried to completely obstruct some otherwise normal political process, Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is graciously stepping into that void by threatening to put a hold on the nomination of Janet Yellen to chair the Federal Reserve, according to a CNBC report that cites a source close to Paul.
CNBC says Paul is insisting on a vote on his Fed transparency bill, has informed Senate leadership of his intentions and intends to formally put the hold in place next week, once the Senate is back in session. CNBC says the senator's bill would mandate a complete audit of the Federal Reserve.
President Obama nominated Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke to head the Fed. She's seen by many Fed watchers as philosophically aligned with Bernake, possible even more dovish, and is likely to keep the Fed's stimulus measures in place at least as long as Bernanke would have done.

The Home Counties
Restaurants in The Home Counties
Thirty miles west of London, this modern British restaurant is located in one of the oldest public houses in the country, dating back to the 15th century.
Situated directly on the river Thames, this traditional pub is housed in a historic building, parts of which date back to the 14th century. A small dock sits out front, along with a seasonal outdoor terrace that provides glimpses of the river between wooden floorboards.
it's a wood-beamed but mercifully unkitschy English pub that's less than an hour by train from London, in the Berkshire countryside near Windsor Castle. The updated British cooking, by chef Dominic Chapman, is straightforward and features superb produce.
Set in the historic coaching inn of the same name, this restaurant takes "locally sourced" in earnest: executive chef Warren Geraghty's garden is the source for at least half of the ingredients used.
Set on the bank of the Thames, this renowned French restaurant is the only establishment in the United Kingdom to hold three Michelin stars for more than 25 years. Originally opened in 1972 by Michel and Albert Roux, the Waterside Inn is now operated by Michel's son Alain.
Tej and Sarina Dhillon own the Modern Coaching Inns group of "modern-vintage" locations, and this Thames Valley restaurant surrounds diners with a refined country pub vibe, paired with a Chop House-style menu loaded with local ingredients.
An hour outside London, the Michelin three-starred Fat Duck is widely considered one of the best restaurants in the world.
Adjacent to the White Hart Inn, this modern gastropub is located 25 miles northwest of downtown London. A working fireplace warms the small dining room, which contains hardwood flooring, wood and leather chairs, and large windows framing views of the surrounding gardens and duck pond.
The Hinds Head is what you see when you close your eyes and picture the words: Traditional. Village. Pub. A low-slung Tudor building, it resembles so perfectly the Platonic ideal of a pub that at first you worry it might be putting you on.
Overlooking Henley's market square, this seafood restaurant is part of an ever-growing chain, with more than 40 locations throughout the United Kingdom.
Run by the same company that owns the Beech House and Red Lion Inn, this oh-so-British country pub blends authentic Brit pub fare and ale with a matching atmosphere; it was named "Michelin Pub of the Year in 2008", and the restaurant has maintained one Michelin star since 2002.
With its tan exterior standing out against the oft-grey British sky, the Three Fishes pub holds to a self-proclaimed motto of "real pub, real food, real beer," centering on hearty fare that's strength is in its simplicity.
Overlooking Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, this traditional British restaurant is known for its panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

Loping LCT engine
I have a 3 year old tiller with a LCT small engine. I have cleaned the carb, new spark plug, air filter, blown out the petcock and yet can't get it to run. It will crank first time with full choke, but you can't move the choke at all.. plus the engine lopes up and down. Here is a video of what I mean. Any help or direction to go would be greatly appreciated.
RockG in SC
Here is a link that might be useful: LCT engine
Looks to me like you might well keep that handle where you put it to start it! That diagram on the plate is more or less aimed towards gooks in some other country that don't know their left hand from their right! Have you tried running it (operating it) after it starts, without moving that little lever? Could that little handle be what normally shuts the engine off? It doesn't seem like the engine is choking up, making it stop, because it would tend to stay running, but choking it would get the result you have now!
When you start it, try only moving that lever just a bit, instead of all the way to the right. I think you are doing a normal complete shut down by moving the lever all the way! Moving it just a wee bit might open the choke enough to allow the engine to run.
To check that, remove the air filter down to where you can see the intake side of the carb, and watch how that lever moves things in there. This seems simple enough, but trying to guess what is happening won't get you running and working. Long distance help is good, but in this case-all we can do is make suggestions. That carb/choke/throttle assembly looks strange to me, but try my suggestions. HTH: Rusty J.

One change announced Thursday eliminates the prohibition of placing more than two teams from the same conference into a regional bracket unless nine or more teams from that conference were chosen. The new policy allows teams that met once during the season to play as early as the third round. Teams that play twice during the season could not meet until the regional semifinals, and teams that played three times cannot meet until the regional final.

What a great set of lessons. I think it was the US marketer Dan Kennedy who said "first we had Napoleon Hill breaking down success into 13 steps, followed by Covey who managed it in 7 and a bit, so I thought I would break it down into 1 – Action". Nice one Steve.
Great post Steve! It is especially timely with the Thanksgiving holiday. It made me thankful for all of life's experiences and opportunities. It is a good reminder to me personally to live in the present and continually learn.
Happy Thanksgiving! And I'm STILL peeling potatoes! :)
This inspires me to hope. Rarely does a CEO know it all because they've dime it all.
Great insight. Good writing. How do I share this on my fb page.
Sounds like you would have enjoyed working at McDonalds
Even greater careers start by figuring out that the healthiest part of the potato is the skin and that you can eliminate an unnecessary task by leaving it on :-)
I love your article, Steve, and you are "right on" with your insights once again. Your clarity and good sense have always amazed me, and I attribute it to your working your way up from the bottom. Perhaps it's because I, too, traveled that path.
After high school I entered the US Air Force – not so much to defend my country as to get money for college – a luxury my parents couldn't afford. After paying my own way through college with my Uncle Sam money and part-time jobs I emerged debt free from graduate school to join HP as a "repairman". One might think repairing equipment isn't the most glamorous job for a newly minted M.S. in Physics, but I learned a bunch by toting wrenches around, dealing with gases, liquids, electronics, robot autosamplers, pumps, mainframe computers, high voltage, high vacuum, and all kinds of user-caused malfunctions, including the chemistry involved in these analytical instruments. I got to see real customers crying with frustration and stress as their bosses pressured them for results, but the instrument was down. I got to learn firsthand how you need to listen to customers. This really helped when I moved to manufacturing to help build the instruments I was repairing, then to R&D to help design them, then Quality to help teset them. It was a long road to being a business leader, but I am a far more capable leader because of this journey.
Those who had an easier path need to work harder to gain these insights. Thanks for pointing the way.
Great post! Having worked my way up last decade I can connect to these observations and career learning!
Most recently, I always knew about how search adwords works and how it can help acquire customer, but I really started appreciating the tech, when i applied these to my own projects and saw how it can impact business!
[…] Steve Blank offers a nice post about learning in the business context. His main point is that the most valuable lessons are found in doing stuff rather than theory. I agree that you can't understand a process without doing the process. And once you stop or if you get disconnected from doing the heavy lifting, you stop learning. […]
Terrific post. This should be taught to kids starting in high school; there are no short cuts while developing anything great. It could be titled "It takes 10 years to be an overnight success" or "Start by peeling potatoes!"
Great article.
Everyone has to start somewhere and most of the time it is all the way from the bottom. But it is wonderful to reap the rewards of all the experience and wisdom gained through the difficulties of rising to the top.
Great post…thanks for sharing a personal story. It serves as inspiration to all of us out here "peeling potatoes" everyday.
great post, this is why startups need senior people, no substitute for experience, I have worked in software since I was 16 ( am 42 now ) and see new grads make the same mistakes due to 'book learning', experience is what counts

Poetik und Rhetorik in Deutschland 1300-1700.
Gratia: Bamberger Schriften zur Renaissanceforschung 44. Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz Verlag, 2006. viii + 228 pp. index. illus. bibl. [euro]68. ISBN: 3-447-05273-2.
Numerous publications have established Joachim Knape as an authority on the subjects of literature (fictional and historiographical) and literature about literature (poetics, rhetoric, and criticism) in late medieval and early modern Germany. Poetik und Rhetorik in Deutschland 1300-1700, which is based on the author's consultation of material collected at the Warburg Institute in London, displays Knape's customary erudition, albeit without the balance found in some of his other, longer works. In his prefatory remarks, Knape speaks of "sketches" intended to frame the works under discussion im Lichte neuerer rhetorischer Kategorienbildung. Consequently, the study offers the benefits and disadvantages of a somewhat ambulatory mode of discourse: remarks, though often illuminating, are always brief and await further elaboration.
Poetik und Rhetorik consists of three parts examining how, out of medieval Latinity, a body of language theory in German emerged. Addressing himself to the concerns of recent scholarship across the humanities, Knape stresses the importance of printing technology, visual culture, and the performative dimensions of language for our understanding of the transition from a scribal order of discourse centered on the monastic world to systems of learning and knowledge-production incorporating the vulgar tongue, mechanical reproduction, and humanist ambitions to return to ancient practices of eloquence.
In the first section, Knape shows how from the middle of the fifteenth century on, the written word and the vulgar tongue increasingly served as touchstones for reflections on language. The practical demands of early modern systems of political administration (in particular, letter-writing) and the emergence of a class of religious reformers propelled a process of Vertextung, as well as the displacement of the Gelehrtencode Latein in favor of German. Consequently, the first object of German language theory was prose. Poetry, Knape observes, did not provide an item of analysis and discussion until the seventeenth century, when Martin Opitz, following Latin and French models, established a framework for literary creation and criticism that definitively supplanted the native, non-written tradition of the Meistersinger, whose practices were rooted in medieval Minnesang. This, the strongest section of the study, benefits from a discussion of the early modern iconography of poetry and persuasion; oddly, however, none of the images reproduced in Poetik und Rhetorik present the discoveries one might have hoped the author to have made in the archives of the Warburg Institute.
The second part examines Sebastian Brant's best-selling Narrenschiff (1494), the most significant German Originaldichtwerk until the seventeenth century. Knape has already treated Brant and his oeuvre in several publications (including a 1992 monograph), so this section of Poetik und Rhetorik serves less to provide new information than to illustrate the issues that the preceding part of the study discusses in more abstract terms. Readers unfamiliar with Knape's analyses of Brant elsewhere will find his concise remarks here useful, in particular the observation that Brant, who was involved in all aspects of the production of the Narrenschiff (including printing), represents the Prototyp des neuen "Schriftstellers." Brant, Knape demonstrates, was both author and entrepreneur, and the illustrated and lavishly produced Narrenschiff an artifact cannily designed to reach (or, indeed, create) a new market.
The third, and briefest, part of Poetik und Rhetorik reviews the epochal shift in German reflections on language and literature that occurred in the first half of the eighteenth century, summarizing the stakes of polemical exchanges between Johann Christoph Gottsched, whom scholars have traditionally viewed as the Figur des Abschlusses alterer Entwicklungen, and his contemporary Johann Jakob Breitinger, whose reflections represent einer der Schritte hin zu einem epistemologischen Umschwung, weg von der Poetik hin zu Hermeneutik und Literaturwissenschaft. At this juncture, Knape argues, a decisive shift occurs: a concentration on reception replaces the focus on production, and soon, with the publication of Alexander Baumgarten's Aesthetica (1750-58), modern criticism begins.
Joachim Knape's Poetik und Rhetorik provides a handy appendix to his longer studies and an indication of terrain to be explored in coming publications. The illustrations, in particular, handsomely complement the text and provide a welcome resource for scholars. On the whole, however, this comparatively thin book is a bit too slight to stand on its own.

GASTON, Ore. (AP) — Divers on Tuesday recovered the bodies of a mother and two of her children who authorities say drowned in a popular lake west of Portland.
The discovery came a day after the body of the woman's 3-year-old grandson was recovered after he also drowned in the same area of Henry Hagg Lake, authorities said.
The family lived in nearby Hillsboro and had gone to the lake for a picnic on Monday.
It was not clear exactly what happened to the family, but law enforcement officials said they found no sign of foul play.
"We're just considering this a tragic accident," said Sgt. Bob Ray of the Washington County sheriff's office.
Deputies identified the three bodies found Tuesday as those of Jova Ixtacua-Castano, 42, her daughter Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua, 25, and son Michael Garcia-Ixtacua, 13.
The 3-year-old boy found Monday night was identified as Jeremy Scholl, the son of Gabriela Garcia-Ixtacua.
Because of its size of nearly 2 square miles, the lake has no lifeguards, but the sheriff's office uses a vessel on weekends for patrols.
The three bodies were discovered about 40 feet offshore in 8 feet of water, and about 50 yards from the spot where the 3-year-old was found.
Authorities worried about the rest of the family after they recovered the boy's body at the site Monday evening and found personal items nearby, including a beach towel, cooler, shoes, identification, as well as a small dog on a leash.

30 minute drive from Tunica casinos for shopping and lunch. TripAdvisor suggestion, never disappointed! Great service, food, and prices! Loved the salsa & chips, lunch specials abound with many options! Will be back when in the area again!
Had lunch here and found the food excellent, with generous portions. The atmosphere was very nice as were the servers and host. Price for value was very good. I will definitely return in the future.
Me and my girlfriend visit here quite often. We are treated very well and the food is always great. The staff truly knows how to take care of its guests.
Sure, there's not much original or special about this restaurant's food, but we keep coming back because the service is always great. My kids are always happy to get their cheese dip, but I always request the cilantro salsa instead of the standard salsa served with hit chips upon arrival. But my favorite part? The servers. Drinks are never close...
We have eaten here on 2 different occasions so far. The food was good both times and the employees all seem to be friendly, our server was attentive and made sure our tea glasses and our chips stayed full. I actually like this location better than the Hernando location.
Yes, I would recommend that you give it a try.
The wait staff was awful, steak was OVER cooked, atomospher was AWFUL, a lot of LOUD vulgar language, not suitable for woman and children. Very disrespectful place.
I think this was one of the best Mexican restaurants I've ever been to. The service was fast the food was good and Inexpensive I had a great time
This has been our "go-to" Mexican place for years. The food is always good and the service is prompt. We try others on occasion, and always regret it. Chips salsa and cheese dip is our classic start. We can usually split an entree after all the chips and drinks. Fajita Nachos!!! oh yeah.
Mi Pueblo in Southaven always makes a meal fun. We love the cheese dip, salsa and chips and never seem to get tired of them!
Service is always prompt and most of the time with a smile; and they never show they mind if we try our small knowledge of Spanish out with them.
They also don't mind if you...
excellent food, great service, little or no waiting. chips and dip at the table in a minute or two most times. has no smoking section.

Street crime, often the violent sort, is not unusual in Bishkek. Nor are accusations of police involvement. But complaints from the reticent Chinese Embassy are.
In a one-month period ending in late November, at least 20 Chinese citizens were robbed in Bishkek, reported The Global Times, a state-run English-language newspaper in Beijing, on December 17. One suffered a head injury. The Chinese Embassy has taken the unusual step of issuing an "emergency safety alert" warning its citizens to exercise caution and, in another statement, rebuking Kyrgyz authorities for failing to stop the attacks.
The surge in apparently targeted robberies follows the July murder of Chinese businessman Guan Joon Chan (name transliterated from the Russian), who was beaten to death shortly after reportedly arguing with local police over the protection money they demanded, Vechernii Bishkek reported at the time.
The Global Times estimates there are 80,000 Chinese citizens in Kyrgyzstan. Many work as traders in Bishkek's Zhonghai market, part of the sprawling Dordoi complex.
Chinese businesspeople at Zhonghai told the paper that the number of actual robberies is likely much higher than is reported because victims are afraid to contact police. Some fear police are involved – a conclusion that will come as no surprise to anyone living in Bishkek, where police are known more as predators than crime fighters.
Uzbekistan again mobilized over a million forced laborers, including schoolchildren, to harvest its billion-dollar cotton crop this autumn, according to a detailed November 27 report from the Cotton Campaign, a coalition of labor and rights activists. It was a deadly year.
Eleven citizens lost their lives as a result of the forced-labor system this year. The tragic losses included Tursunali Sadikov, a 63-year-old farmer who died of a heart attack after being beaten by a Department of Internal Affairs official, and Amirbek Rakhmatov, a six-year-old schoolboy who accompanied his mother to the cotton fields, napped in a trailer, and suffocated when cotton was loaded on top of him.
"It is the largest number of people who have died in a year, as far as I know," Matt Fischer-Daly of the Cotton Campaign told the Toronto Star. "There have been tragedies but [I've] never seen a year with so many deaths."
Though there were fewer young children mobilized than in years past, authorities "systematically" coerced high school students, university students, and adults into the fields, the reports says. They are part of an opaque chain of transactions that concludes with authorities buying cotton from farmers at artificially low prices and selling it abroad at a huge markup for hard currency. Researchers found that students were threatened with expulsion if they did not comply and adults told they would be fired if they refused.
American airmen at the Manas air base, outside Kyrgyzstan's capital, Bishkek, have begun packing. They'll be gone by next summer, together with their fleet of refueling tankers.
The Kumtor gold mine is Kyrgyzstan's lone economic gem. Yet, despite the mine's vital importance to the Kyrgyz economy, officials appear to be mulling a doomsday option for the Canadian-run project.
Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon has sailed to victory again after a poll marked by the absence of competition and other shortcomings, international election observers said today.
With Tajikistan's election officials claiming an 86.6 percent turnout, Rakhmon garnered 83.6 percent of votes, installing him as president for another seven years, to 2020.
Rakhmon faced five placid competitors who the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) said hardly bothered to campaign. The five were widely seen as supportive of the incumbent, running to give the November 6 election a veneer of plurality. Rakhmon's closest rival, the Communist Party's Ismoil Talbakov, won five percent of the vote, the state-run Khovar news agency reported early on November 7.
An ODIHR monitoring mission said the elections were peaceful, but noted "serious problems" with ballot box stuffing, authorities interfering in the count, and a count that "often lacked transparency." ODIHR also described "a lack of pluralism and genuine choice."
"Extensive state media coverage of the official activities of the incumbent provided him with a significant advantage," ODIHR said in a November 7 statement:
"While quiet and peaceful, this was an election without a real choice," said Gordana Comic, the Special Coordinator who led the short-term OSCE observer mission. "Being in power requires abiding by OSCE commitments, not taking advantage of incumbency, as we saw. Greater genuine political pluralism will be critical for Tajikistan to meet its democratic commitments."

"Being in power requires abiding by OSCE commitments, not taking advantage of incumbency, as we saw. Greater genuine political pluralism will be critical for Tajikistan to meet its democratic commitments."
Anyone following Tajikistan's presidential election cycle knows that Imomali Rahmon is a cinch to win another seven-year term on November 6. But the lack of genuine electoral options is a source of frustration for an important constituency – the million-strong community of Tajik labor migrants in Russia.
