City Public Transport, Helsinki
67 Reviews
67 Reviews
A great and economical way to see a lot of Helsinki's sights is to jump on tram 3T/3B which follows the figure of an eight. The line 3B goes from Eira to Kallio, Töölö, Kauppatori and back to Eira, the line 3T goes the other way around. The whole tour takes about one hour in travelling time.
A single trip costs 2 EUR.
The tram lines 3B and 3T are circle lines that go around Helsinki. This is the best way to do some sightseeing if you're "armed" with a good guide/map and not much time. There's basically no difference between 3T and 3B, as they just go on opposite directions of the same "circular" route. Here's the brochure with the tram stops with and without interesting must sees.
A single ticket for the tram costs 2€ (bought from the driver) and it's valid for 60 minutes. Children up to 7 years of age travel for free with a paying adult.
If you're planning to move around Helsinki quite a bit during your stay, it's convenient to buy the tourist ticket which is valid for all kinds of transport (metro/tram/bus/Suomenlinna ferry).
There are 1, 3 and 5 day tickets either for Helsinki only or the region (Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen and Vantaa). The 3-day ticket for Helsinki costs 12 EUR , for the region 20 EUR e.g.
There is an underground in Helsinki, although I never tested it. Instead I took the tram and bus, and therefore got to see more of the town from above. One trip cost 2 euro, when you on the tram can be a cheater and go on without paying.
Then you'll have to sit and be nervous for controllers during the whole trip, but you still earned two euros.
Don't know why I did that all the time, I blame my now ex-girlfriend for that... But at least I never got caught.
Taxi is also a good way to go, specially in the night when you want to get home fast. I didn't find the prices that high, cheaper than in Sweden, but it was quite hard to find a taxi, even when we did leave the nightclubs quite early. We had to stay in the line with 50-60 persons ahead of us, and it took quite long time.
With the trams, make sure you take the right one. There are numbers on them, but also letters. Which means that tram number 7A isn't the same one as number 7BK
The public transportation system in Helsinki works really well. It includes buses, trams and the subway. Usually when you buy a ticket, it is valid in all of these. So wherever in Helsinki you want to go, one (if not many) of these will take you there, quickly! It is also very easy to get to Espoo and Vantaa (other big cities near Helsinki) by bus, and maybe in the future also by subway. The strikes are very seldom here, so unlike in the Mediterranean countries, you don't have to worry about that kind of things in Helsinki!
Helsinki's tram network is part of the public transport system managed by the city council. It is one of the oldest electrified tram networks in the world and the trams are still the main means of transport within the old city centre. Helsinki is the only city in Finland to have tram traffic. Two other cities, Turku and Viipuri, used to also have tram traffic, but both cities have abandoned trams, Viipuri during the Soviet regime in the late 50s and Turku in the early 70s.
Since 1999, a new generation of low-floor trams have been gradually introduced to operation. These have suffered from persistent technical difficulties, so the entire batch is being refitted by the manufacturer. To cover for the missing trams almost antique 8-axle trams from Mannheim, Germany were introduced to cover during this transitional phase.
There are 11 lines currently in operation.
1 Kauppatori–Käpylä (Daytime service on workdays only)
1A Eira–Kauppatori–Käpylä (peak service only)
3B Eira–Kauppatori–Töölö–Kallio–Eira
3T Eira–Töölö–Kallio–Kauppatori–Eira
4 Katajanokka–Munkkiniemi
4T Katajanokka ferry terminal–Munkkiniemi
6 Hietalahti–Arabia
7A Senaatintori–Töölö–Pasila–Senaatintori
7B Senaatintori–Pasila–Töölö–Senaatintori
8 Salmisaari–Sörnäinen–Vallila-Arabia
10 Kirurgi–Pikku-Huopalahti
3T and 3B are so called circle trams and are often said to provide a nice overview of the city and therefore great and inexpensive way to get a sightseeing tour in the city.
Tramlines operate between the following hours
Monday - Saturday 05.30 - approx. 23.30,
Sundays 07.00 - approx. 23.30
Lines 3B, 3T and 4 run until 01.30.
Frequency during peak periods every 5-10 minutes, otherwise every 10-20 minutes.

Helsinki local transport tickets are valid on trams, buses, metro and local trains that operate within the city limits, as well as the HKL Suomenlinna ferry. Single ticket can be bought from the driver (€2.80), in ticket machines (€2,20, except for tram which is €2). Children's tickets are half of the price of adult tickets. All tickets can be bought at R-Kiosks.
Now you can also get tickets, which are valid 12hrs to Suomenlinna ferry for €5.00
For short stays, day passes are the most economical way to get around.
1 day pass costs €8, 2 days €12, 3 days €16, 4 days €20, 5 days €24, 6 days €28 and 7 days €32
If you stay 2 or 4 weeks, consider getting a Travel Card on to which you can either load value (min €5) or time. If you load value on your card, your tram journey costs mere €1.37 per single journey.
If you go for time, 14 days travel card will cost you €24 and 30 days €45.90. Any additional days on top these will be €1.37/per day. However, please note that an additional charge of €9 is made for the initial purchase of the Travel Card.
Night fares apply from 2 am-4.30am. These tickets can bought directly from the driver and ticket machines at the cost of €5
If you have a Finnish SIM card(*), you can purchase single tickets by mobile phone. They cost about €2 and will be charged in your next phone bill. Text A1 or AS1 into number 16355. You will receive a ticket by text and it is valid for an hour from the moment of purchase.
The only limitation is that is not valid on night time busses, buslines 78, 79, 15 and 15A or Commuter trains. You should have received the text before you board on any bus, train, tram or HKL Suomenlinna ferry.
(* Only valid with a SIM card by the following operators: Sonera, Elisa, DNA, Saunalahti, Kolumbus, Zeroforty and Tele Finland (and prepaid SIM cards by DNA, Kolumbus, Saunalahti, Sonera and Tele Finland)
You can also try out a ticket calculator online http://www.hsl.fi/EN/ticketsandfares/Pages/PriceCalculator2013.aspx
Helsinki has a really good city transport system. The most important in the city centre is tram network which consists of 8 lines. There are 2 ring lines (3 & 7). The trams are relatively fast and comfortable. You can go to the suburbs by the Metro or commuter trains which are fast, clean and comfy. The Metro consists of only one line which has two branches in the eastern end. Metro trains travel up to 80 and commuter trains up to 130 km/h in Helsinki.
You should definitely buy a city transport ticket which costs 6 euros (1 day) or 12 euros (3 days). With the tourist ticket you can use trams, metro, buses, Suomenlinna ferry and commuter trains within Helsinki city limits. Regional tickets cost double and allow to travel to suburbs as well. You can buy a ticket from ticket machines in seaports, airport, train- or Metrostations. Machines are very easy to use - you can use banknotes and get back the change. Tickets are also available in Tourist Info Center Pohjoisesplanadi 19 and in several HKL service points. Enjoy the smooth city transport of Helsinki! And when you get tired, just hop on the Koff pub tram and taste some Finnish beer!
A simple and affordable way to see Helsinki`s sights is by hopping aboard the 3T tram. This route is perfect for tourists as it passes by Finlandia Hall, Parliament House, National Opera and Senate Square. You can get of the tram any stop, or you can do whole loop in around one hour. Price: single ticket from the driver adulds 2 euros and children 1 euro, prepaid from ticket machine 1,70 euros/0,80 euros.
As far as I could tell, I'm not 100% sure, the Hesinki subway has ONE LINE. Too cute. And the travel times between the few stations are designated on the map - 1 min, 2 min, 3 min... so silly. Like everything else in Helsinki, it's squeaky clean. And very orange.
Rautatieasema is the centrally located rail and bus station. If you are arriving from the airport you can take either the Finnair Bus or the 615 and both will drop you off somewhere around the station. Coming from the West Terminal Port, you can take the 15, 15A or 15V and they will all drop you off here as well. I'm sure there are specific buses from the other ports as well. Buses that depart for other cities generally leave from this station too.
All train tracks end here as well, so if you are coming from out of town via train, this is where you will end up too. Additionally, there are several trams that go by out front, and it is easy to reach on foot from anywhere in downtown making it very easy and convenient to use.
Inside the station you can get information about various bus and train schedules to help you get around both Helsinki and Finland in general.
Getting around with the metro in Helsinki...
There only very few (but good) reasons why one esp. a tourist is likely to use it.
For translocating yourself within the heart of Helsinki you 'd probably be better of taking the tram or bus.
If on the other hand you are seeking to reach the far east side of Helsinki or during traffic jam time then you absolutely want to take the metro.
The subway system consist of one and a half line ; ) yes you read right. From the south-west end in Rouholahti there is only on line towards the til Itäkeskus (East-Centre) where the line is plit up - one ging north to Mellunmäki and the aother even more east to Vuosaari.
So you don't have to be afraid to get lost in Helsinki riding the tube....
The same tickets are valid on the tube as in buses, trams and trains within Helsinki city.
One very good aspect about public transportation - mainly buses on week days/evenings - is the very good itinerary.
The last buses leave Rautatientori (the large square between main rail way station, the National Theatre and the Ateneum) for the out-skirts about 1a.m., which I think is rather good.
These buses serve the all the suburb of the city.
There are night buses too. 8 lines each with approx. 4 departures between 2 and 5 a.m.
One last word! Especially on weekend nights you will encounter the darker sides of our society on these buses. Alcohol abuse will eventually lead to disturbances (harrasement, shouting, obscenity...) and may have effect on your nerves, as if this happens too often you be filled with disgust... so just be prepared and please don't provoke these certain individuals by looking straight into their eyes.
The best up to date information on Helsinki public transportation you can find from the website given below.
Plan your trip ahead, check out the timetables for ferries, trams,metro, buses and local trains. Find out the ticket prices and explore the route maps.
Helsinki has a very good public transport system, which comprises a dense network of bus routes, several tram lines in the inner city, commuter trains and a metro connecting the centre with several suburban areas in the eastern part of the city.
The same HKL ticket is valid for travel on buses, the metro, trams and commuter trains within the Helsinki city limits. There is a slightly more expensive regional ticket, which you can use also in the adjacent municipalities of Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen.
In addition to single-trip tickets, ten-trip fare cards and 30-day tickets are also sold. A group ticket allows six persons unlimited travel for 24 hours. Tourist tickets allow one person unlimited travel for one, three or five days.
Visitors find it a good idea to travel using a Helsinki Card, which also gets them into museums free or at reduced rates and entitles them to a whole range of discounts.

Faith-Based Negotiations
When liberals meet mullahs
Dec 9, 2013, Vol. 19, No. 13 • By REUEL MARC GERECHT
But a basic understanding of international trade, a bit of common sense, and a quick glance at how the administration has conducted foreign policy in the region might make one skeptical about President Obama's achievement in Switzerland. Every billion in hard currency counts, especially abroad, where Iran's accessible hard-currency reserves are only around $20 billion. Even the administration's dubious figure for sanctions relief—$7 billion over six months—is a lot of money for the Islamic Republic, which has probably burned up several billion dollars in Syria since Damascus's savage dictatorship almost cratered last year. If that $7 billon figure is low, then the aid that President Obama has now given the mullahs is far from paltry. Anyone who has tracked how the administration calculated its gold-trading offer to the Iranians at the nuclear negotiations in Almaty in February and April 2013 (Turkish customs data clearly show that Iran pocketed $6 billion in a U.S. sanctions loophole; the administration claims it gave away nothing to Tehran) cannot be sanguine that the White House has any firm idea of how international commercial markets operate. Rouhani's post-Geneva bragging about "breaking" the West's sanctions regime is probably premature. But given his plausible assertion in his memoir that it was he who cleverly protected Iran's nuclear program in 2003, one might want to give the cleric a bit more time before damning him as "specious."
At the core of Washington's debate about Iran's nuclear program is a confluence of naïveté and fear of another war in the Middle East. The latter reinforces the former and bends the analysis of Iran's internal politics. It makes America's foreign policy elite, which has never been a particularly God-fearing crowd, even more blind to the role of religion in Iran's politics. The president himself appears to believe passionately that an irenic American foreign policy insulates the United States from Muslim anger and terrorism. Yet who knows for sure whether Barack Obama has the will to preempt Tehran's nuclear program militarily? If Khamenei got caught enriching uranium to bomb-grade or kicked IAEA inspectors out of the country, the president might strike. Even the president's omnipresent desire to pivot the United States away from any region of conflict might not be enough to stop him from launching preemptive raids against the Islamic Republic's nuclear sites. The closer we get to an Iranian breakout capacity, the more serious Washington's deliberations on the ramifications of an Iranian nuke become. The most deadly and probably the most powerful man in uniform is Qassem Suleimani, commander of the Quds Force, the paramilitary and terrorist expeditionary unit within the Revolutionary Guard Corps, who unquestionably authorized the plan to bomb the Saudi ambassador in a Georgetown restaurant in 2011. Imagining Suleimani with atomic weapons is appreciably more disturbing than imagining Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, or Kim Jong-un with a nuke.
No one in the Middle East, however, believes that Obama would strike. Iran's Revolutionary Guards in particular revel in mocking the president's occasional "all-options-are-on-the-table" rhetoric. The left-wing base of the Democratic party certainly doesn't think the president will lead America into another war. Mention Obama's pledge to take out Tehran's nuclear sites to the nonproliferation soldiers at the Ploughshares Fund and they yawn or snicker. The only man in Washington who may still seriously believe that Obama retains the requisite bellicosity after his red-line debacle in Syria is Dennis Ross, the president's former Middle Eastern adviser and über Israeli-Palestinian peace-processor, whose capacity for perseverance and faith in the darkest circumstances is unparalleled.
Much of Washington's foreign-policy establishment, especially that residing in influential left-of-center think tanks, long ago conceded the bomb to Iran. Pollack's new book, Unthinkable: Iran, the Bomb, and American Strategy, advances an argument for containment, a position he has held for years. For those who want to default to containment, any diplomatic path will take them there. It doesn't really matter whether Geneva is a good deal or bad one; the only thing that matters is that we not bomb Iran's nuclear sites. And for most on the left—who unlike Pollack don't envision any need for a militarily strong and aggressive United States pushing back against Iranian adventurism—containment has become a synonym for patient, peaceful engagement and American withdrawal. (The crippling weakness of Pollack's grand strategy is that it presupposes tough Democrats and Republicans guiding American foreign policy; but the toughness necessary for containment is no less than that required for preemption.)
President Obama's heart and mind are, in all probability, in the same orbit as those of the nonproliferation crowd, who really liked nuclear nonproliferation so long as the United States was disarming and Washington didn't have to go to war to stop a third-world country from going nuclear. The president's post-Geneva stop-the-"endless cycle of violence" speeches certainly make one think that Obama will fold when Khamenei's men have made it crystal clear that nuclear rollback isn't an option. Ramping up sanctions globally—recapturing the momentum that Congress and the European Union had built by ever-escalating sanctions—will likely prove much more difficult than the White House now thinks. The all-important psychology of escalating sanctions, and the increasing American willpower that produced them, will soon be replaced by a spirit of compromise and, among foreign businesses, greed and a new resolve to test the administration's willingness to punish companies, especially European and Chinese firms, that violate U.S. sanctions.
European unity on Iran has always been in part a function of fear of American and Israeli preemptive military action. Fear of Israel has dissipated in Europe. In Paris, London, and Berlin, few now have much regard for—let alone fear of—President Obama. In the White House, transatlantic relations have become an afterthought, as French foreign minister Laurent Fabius made furiously clear during the first round in Geneva. And without crippling sanctions, Washington will have no real leverage left over the Iranian regime. President Obama's eagerness to avoid an unpleasant binary choice—surrender publicly to Tehran's nuclear fait accompli or preempt militarily—will have led him to a situation where he confronts the same choice, but with Iran's hand stronger and America's weaker. Khamenei will have called Obama's bluff—and will have billions more in his bank account. In all probability, the president has bought into a process of diminishing returns that he cannot abandon for fear of the cruel binary choice. For that matter, he may already have decided that the left wing of the Democratic party is right: Better Khamenei and Suleimani with a nuke than America in conflict. The odds are, he has.
In about six months' time, Khamenei's "step-by-step" counsel to his most loyal followers may well prove prescient. His loyal servant Rouhani, who jumped off Rafsanjani's sinking ship in 2005 for a stronger alliance with the supreme leader, will have again proven that Western-educated Iranians with decent English can do wonders with Americans. Jen Psaki, the State Department spokeswoman, when asked about Khamenei's November 20 speech at Khomeini's Grand Mosque, remarked that "comments like these are not helpful, but we still believe that both sides are negotiating in good faith." More than she probably knew, Ms. Psaki was right.

It was Rodgers' first TD pass in the NFL.
The 74-yard drive was highlighted by a 43-yard catch by Jennings, who turned a short pass into a big gain as he weaved through a slew of Dallas defenders to the DAL 32.
The TD drive could not have come at a better time for the Packers, who needed a shot of adrenaline after allowing the Cowboys to rack up 27 points and watching their leader - Brett Favre - leave the game with an arm injury.

Caution Persists in Asian Markets
SYDNEY—Asian markets ended mixed after choppy trade Wednesday despite Wall Street's final-hour rally Tuesday, as caution over the euro-zone debt crisis persisted, while Apple-related plays around the region sold off as the new iPhone model underwhelmed.
"The market is going to treat this (U.S.) rally with suspicion because there's no detailed plan (to contain the European debt crisis) yet," said BBY senior institutional trader Peter Copeland in Sydney. "Many investors remain sidelined and are unlikely to return until there is a solid footing to the market."
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average closed 0.9% lower at 8382.98, while South Korea's Kospi dropped 2.3% to 1666.52, extending Tuesday's 3.6% tumble. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index ended 1.4% higher at 3926.50, while India's Sensex fell 0.5% to 15792.41. Markets in Hong Kong and mainland China were shut for holidays.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended up 1.4% Tuesday as concerns over a potentially destabilizing Greek debt default eased after a report that European leaders may consider further help to the region's banks.
But "talk of coordinated action in the euro zone has been around for months," said Jason Hughes at IG Markets Singapore. Nonetheless, "details have consistently been light."
Apple-related shares sold off in a knee-jerk reaction as the new iPhone 4S model failed to meet expectations, spurring concerns its sales may suffer amid the weakened global consumer market.
"Since Apple has a tendency to 'wow' its audience with surprise products and features, this upgrade didn't live up to those expectations. That said, consumers will probably still buy the phone," said Shigeo Sugawara, senior investment manager at Sompo Japan Nipponkoa Asset Management.
In Taiwan, assembler Hon Hai shed 1.9% and touchscreen maker Wintek fell 3.8%. In Tokyo, Japan's current sole iPhone supplier Softbank fell 4.4%, while KDDI—which announced that it will also sell the new model—slipped 0.9%.
The disappointment bolstered rival Seoul-listed smartphone makers, with Samsung Electronics adding 1.7% and LG Electronics tacking on 0.4% despite the broader market selloff.
In Tokyo, exporters with exposure to Europe were broadly lower, with Sony shedding 1.8% and Toshiba surrendering 2.3%.
Financial stocks there also fell, weighed by Moody's Investors Service's three-notch cut to Italy's sovereign debt rating. Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group shed 2.3% and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group fell 1.8%.
Fast Retailing, a heavyweight in the Nikkei index, fell 4% after the firm said September same-store sales at its domestic Uniqlo stores fell 11% from a year ago.
In Seoul, weak crude prices weighed construction plays on concerns infrastructure spending in oil-rich countries would fall. Samsung Engineering dropped 10%.
But a rally in commodities lifted the resource-heavy Australian market. Miners BHP Billiton and Fortescue Metals rose 3.8% and 4.7%, respectively.

In Michael Orthofer's most recent post on Ryunosuke Akutagawa's The Mandarins, he focuses on the writer himself:
As we slowly wind up the discussion, moving towards The Life of a Fool and Cogwheels (which I figure will be the appropriate notes to end on), I'm still struck by how much a proper (?) sense of the author eludes me. Try as I might, Akutagawa remains something of a mystery-man to me. And though I'm generally not big on worrying about the author behind the texts I find myself looking for more of a hold here—in part because even after reading this collection, which comes after I've read quite a few different Akutagawa translations over the years, I still don't feel I know him or his writing that well.
Part of the problem with being able to identify a "Akutagawa story," may be the various translations made of Akutagawa's work, and the nature and quality of these early translations. Quoting from Donald Richie, Orthofer brings to the forefront the negative effect marketing can have on the publication of translations:
"Another problem with the foreign translations, besides their sheer number, is that Akutagawa was translated early. As a result, these first translations range from the unscholarly to the appalling. One of their unwelcome qualities is that they insist upon the exotic—this being one of the few ways to sell Japanese literature in the early days. An unfortunate result is that Akutagawa is made to seem quaint and curious, a mere purveyor of the exotic."
I'm not so sure things have changed that much when it comes to selling Japanese books, or any country's literature for that matter. Although nowadays there seems to be two marketing trends that reflect some of the things we've been discussing in terms of the goal of translation: emphasize the foreignness, the oddness or make the book so smooth it doesn't appear to be a translation at all.

ALL IS FAIR — Kicking Horse Coffee Company wants your vote to be named Canada's favourite fair trade product.By Joshua Estabrooks - Special to The Pioneer
The Columbia Valley's own homegrown coffee company is vying to be named Canada's favourite fair trade business, but they need your help to pull it off.
Kicking Horse Coffee (KHC) narrowly missed being named the top fair trade company in Canada last year, and staff are determined to get the extra votes needed this time around to take the title, said KHC media relations representative Lynn Hodgson.

Why Kicking Horse Coffee made a pricey decision to provide a product its customers hadn't even asked for.
By Jim McElgunn
CEO, Kicking Horse Coffee Co. Ltd.
Since we founded the company in 1996, 100% of our coffee has been organic. But for many years the supply just wasn't available for all our coffee to be fair trade, too. By 2007, we were at 60% fair trade and 40% non-fair trade.
A city girl and an East Coaster packed their belongings and headed west, starting a true Canadian success story.
It all began with a smoothie shop on the main strip in Invermere BC in 1993 (The Blue Dog Café). Owners Elana Rosenfeld and Leo Johnson decided to close the café after following years of stressful dedicated work. After travelling the world, they opened Kicking Horse Coffee in 1996, focusing on roasting small batches of premium specialty coffee and packaging the coffee the same day, ensuring freshness.
The sweet, smoky and audacious characteristics of Kick Ass coffee are carefully blended with Swiss Water processed decaf to produce a rich, full-bodied coffee with only half the caffeine. Half Ass is made with whole-bean organic fair-trade coffee, roasted in Canada. It is sold in a 1-pound bag.

I Saw From the Beach by Thomas Moore
I saw from the beach, when the morning was shining,
A bark o'er the waters move gloriously on;
I came when the sun o'er that beach was declining,
The bark was still there, but the waters were gone.
And such is the fate of our life's early promise,
So passing the spring-tide of joy we have known;
Each wave that we danced on at morning ebbs from us,
And leaves us, at eve, on the bleak shore alone.
Oh, who would not welcome that moment's returning
When passion first waked a new life through his frame,
And his soul, like the wood that grows precious in burning,
Gave out all its sweets to love's exquisite flame.

Also, that Yahoo link is a NCAA basketball ranking list...
not bad
Also, that Yahoo link is a NCAA basketball ranking list...
#1 babby
both on the field and in our hearts
We're not your babby!
Where we finish in the polls means where we finish in the AP and Coaches polls, so let's assume we start at #8. Alabama is the only game where we have really bad odds of winning, IMO. A loss would drop us from #8 to #14. I think we'll beat ND, and get to MSU unscathed. We'd probably be back to #7 by then. A loss to MSU would drop us again to #13. Nebraska couldn't stop us last year, and we return more offense than they return defense, so it won't be close again. Again we go unscathed until OSU. We'd be back up to #9. Lose to OSU, and we're back to #15 going into a bowl game. I think you could play this game with all the 9-3 scenarios, and you'd get a #8-14 range for final ranking going into a bowl.
If we went 10-2, I think you'd have to look at us finishing ranked #6-10, so long as we win the B1G championship game if we're in it.
If we only lose to 'bama, I think you have to see us finishing top 4 (assumes a B1G championship win). With our SOS, I could easily see #2 behind USC.
8 seems super overrated, so I was going to put 14th, but I really don't think there's 13 better teams, so I'll say 10
Unranked... like every other team. Dont rank anyone till week 6.
Best post on the board
I think #8 is just about right, especially when you look at the teams ranked around UM. There are a lot of questions with this team, but there are also several strengths.
- this should be the best OL UM has had in a while (please no injuries)
- this should be the best rushing attack UM has had in a while (possibly ever stats-wise)
- this should be the best secondary UM has had in a while
While there are some holes to fill, especially along the DL, I think the LB's and DB's will be good enough to mask those, for the most part. As long as UM has some sort of downfield passing game, this offense should be even better than the last two years. All in all, I think this is a top 10 team when you look at the starters, but depth is a question. If UM can stay healthy, I see no reason why they can't win 10+ games again this year.
Here's a thought experiment.
Let's say in some year, Mr. AP Voter feels that there are 4 substantially equivalent teams that each warrant consideration as the pre-season #1. How should Mr. AP Voter rank them?
Let's assume that Mr. AP Voter cannot find any meaningful differences in the talent levels of the respective teams, and all have fine coaching. But if he looks at the schedules, here's what he sees:
1) Team A plays 10 very difficult games, 7 of which are on the road
2) Team B Plays 10 very difficult games, 3 of which are on the road
3) Team C plays 5 very difficult games, 3 of which are on the road
4) Team D plays 3 very difficult games, 1 of which is on the road.
By the "let's take schedule into account" logic above, Mr. AP Voter should rank the teams as follows:
1. Team D, 2. Team C, 3. Team B. 4. Team A.
Doesn't it seem to make more sense to rank them in reverse order, with the team playing the most difficult schedule being #1? If they lose, fine--drop them. But if should they go undefeated against the toughest schedule, they deserve to finish #1.
So who are we mere mortals to doubt him after last year's prediction?
Top 10 at end of season for sure......
If we don't win 10 games this year I'll be seriously bummed.
Pre-season rankings should have absolutely nothing to do with where you expect a team to finish, or how tough their schedule is. It always ticks me of when people seem to think it should. Pre-season rankings should be based solely on the projected quality of the team. With that said, I would put us right around #10.
12-16 range. It's tough to do. 3 losses are very possible.
From my perspective, there shouldn't be rankings until October 1, and along with that I would eliminate the Coaches' poll.
My guess, like many on here, is 9-3 assuming we stay healthy in a few key positions. However, if we beat Bama, then all bets are off. Kids are coming back to schemes on O and D they have seen before, and we have some very young talent that could play prominently as the season goes along.
Once you get by Bama, every game seems winnable.
Agreeing with most posters on pre-season rankings should be how good a team appears to be independent of schedule, etc...
So with that in mind, here's my 10 plus Michigan...
8.South Carolina
9.Florida State
10.Michigan State
I can definitely support this, except with FSU out of the top ten because they're FSU.
I'm curious why you feel MSU should be ahead of us. We were pretty comparable last year, but their losses are bigger than ours.
Let's say Martin and Hemingway is a wash with Worthy and Cunningham. In addition to those, we lose RVB and Molk, they lose Foreman, Baker, Martin, Cousins, and their TE whose name escapes me. They also lose their starting S, Trenton Robinson or something like that.
Point is, I think all signs point to Michigan being the better team this year. MSU is breaking in a lot of guys who are getting real PT for the first time, Michigan isn't.
Plus we have Pipkins.
They aren't fair. They are based on a lot of dumb crap. Over the course of a season, they very much are based on schedule, as which of these two teams do you think will do better in week 2:
1. Team ranked #13 in week 1 that loses to #3 Alabama by 2pts
2. Team ranked #13 in week 1 that beats unranked EMU by 30pts
The first team might not lose too much ground, but won't gain ground even if the loss was a better-than-expected performance. The second team won't lose ground and may gain ground dedending on what people do ahead of them. This is an unfortunate reality.
However, I'd argue preseason rankings are generally base on something even less compelling: the final rankings from the year before, and how they matched up with preseason expectations.
During the Carr years, every time Michigan was vastly overrated (e.g. 1998, 2005, 2007), it was because we'd been surprisingly good the year before. Every time Michigan was vastly underrated (e.g. 1997, 2006), it was because we were surprisingly bad the year before.
Doesn't always work out that way, but it often does. When I see Michigan ranked #8, I don't think it's really because we have objectively demonstrated ourselves to be the 8th best team in the country, but because we are considered a "team on the move" based on us being youngish and having beaten expectations by a wide margin the year before. We may be the 8th best team in the country, but I'm not sure what the objective criteria for that would be. I think judging us to be the #13 team in the country based on both talent and sober expectations given a rough schedule does seem more compelling to me.
Conversely, ranking us #18 seems, to me, to reflect concerns about our ability to weather the schedule--and this is pretty clearly outlined in that preview, but likely goes too far in that direction (IMO).
Being a sythentic thinker, I like the middle road that doesn't slide too far in either direction.
Given the questions we have regarding our d-line, the fact that even though we won the sugar bowl, we did not exactly win it in a convincing manner, UTL as great as it was - it was a bit of a miracle comeback, looked bad on the road last year (msu & Iowa) - not sure we proved last year that we are a top ten team yet.
I do believe we have a shot in Dallas, win that one or have it be an epic game, then I am on board with top ten
Everyone has questions somewhere. And we're replacing starters on our DL with guys who played a lot last year, so it's not like we're breaking in young guys (we will do that, but they'll be back ups). We honestly have fewer questions than almost every team.
Sure, we needed a comeback to beat ND, but MSU got smoked by them. Sure, we barely won the Sugar Bowl, but it's the Sugar Bowl and we still won. Not every win is going to be by two touchdowns. Look at MSU and Nebraska - on their bad days, they got steamrolled. On our bad days we either barely won or barely lost, against good teams.
How we fare against the #2 team in the country does not determine whether or not we're a top-10 team, it determines whether or not we're a top-3ish team. How we fare against the rest of our schedule will determine if we're a top-10 team or not, and every other game looks pretty winnable to me.
See your points - maybe I still have a bit of lingering shell shock from the RR years. May have not been as clear as I wanted to be, agree you don't have to beat the #2 team, but you should be able to play with them.
Yeah, I agree that if we get blown off the field we probably aren't a top-10 team, but most years the #10 team and the #2 or #3 team wouldn't play all that close. I'm much more interested in how we do against ND on the road.
Number one duh this is Michigan fergodsakes
higher than MSU. The green and white beatdown's a comin'.
I think the #8 ranking to start the season is pretty spot on. The only two games I think we have a good shot at losing are Alabama and Notre Dame. Beyond that, I am predicting a sweep of the B1G schedule. So 10-2 worst case and 12-0 best case (obvs). Would I be surprised if we're talking national championships in November? No.
#1 bitches. If you ain't first you're last
N Bake!
Please don't call me bitch.
...#15. Respectable, and yet takes the pressure off. We have a few "unknowns" that have to be examined. We could quickly move up from #15 with some signature wins.
I think they finished at 11 last year..second year in the system and a lot of returning starters.. I think 8 to 10 is about right.
#1 and we should stay that way all year after we kick everyone's asses. I am always very pessimistic, but I have a strange feeling we have the man coaching us. This is Michigan fergodsakes!
Nuff said. But who cares perform on the field and give me roses and I'll be pleased
I don't mind preseason rankings. My only beef with it is people go ape shit about how we're ranked too high every time we're in the top 10.
The funny thing is every other fanbase in complaining that they aren't ranked high enough - Michigan fans are the only ones saying their team is ranked too high.
It really annoys me that everyone thinks it is so impossible that we could be a top 10 team. Yes there are 3-4 teams that you could say should clearly be better...but after that every team has holes like we do. The RR years have defninatly scarred some people. Plenty of meh teams start and finish in the bttom of the top 10..someone has to be there.
I think some people might still be scared like last year was a fluke or something. This coaching staff is for real. Think about how much better this team got from WMU and ND the 1st 2 games to the last 2 Nebraska and OSU. They had some bumps on Offense while Borges was learning to use Denard and Denard learned to run this Offense. If you have doubts rewatch all of the 2010 games ...then watch the 2011 games..my jaw was dropping at how guys developed. (this is why dvr's are amazing) I used to think recruits were more important than coaching..Hoke convinced me of the opposite.
I am happy as long as we are ranked higher than the Irish, Sparty, and Ohio. In all seriousness though, with a Senior Heisman trophy candidate coming back at QB, Seniors coming back or stepping in at key spots on defense, continuity with the offensive and defensive systems, and a track record of coaches in their second year at a school, no doubt we should be a top ten team to start the year.
but the local cbus sports talk radio guys got some lolz from the "about.com" preseason top 25 list by a guy which put Michigan at #4, right ahead of (ahem) Boise State.
Just wow. Oregon is four spots in front of USC at number two (and will be a better spread team with massive lineman!?!?)? Boise State is the nations sixth best team? Urban Meyer = Fielding Yost, so Michigan is the fourth best team in the country? Saban is guaranteed a top five team? I guess 2010 just never happened.
Not even taking a look as his rankings, this guy shouldn't be getting paid to write his blurbs of "analysis". It's pretty clear he's very uninformed; I could pick three MGoNames out of a hat and at least two of them would provide better analysis than he did.
Pre-season rankings are at best useless, and at worst counter-productive. Since very little data is available, what tends to happen is that the well known teams get a bump: everyone assumes that Michigan ought to be good, because they're an elite program and were good last year. That is why Michigan historically under-performs its pre-season ranking. (Last year was an exception to that rule.)
Pre-season rankings by fans of a particular team are even worse. We have much better knowledge of Michigan than of almost any other team. And because we're fans, we tend to be a bit more bullish than we ought to be about the team's open questions. We tend to think/hope that those questions will be answered in the team's favor.
Michigan has more open questions than you'd expect of a top-10 team. They replace 3/4ths of the defensive line, 2/5ths of the offensive line (including the Rimington Award winner), a pretty good starting tight end, their most productive wide receiver, and possibly their best running back (depending on how the Fitz drama pans out). The offensive and defensive lines ought to scare any reasonable observer, since football is won in the trenches.
Even before the schedule is taken into account, it would be rather strange to rate a team in the top 10 that had so many questions at key positions.
I think it's idiotic to pretend the schedule doesn't matter. Teams are measured on the football field against real opponents, not on paper nor in some imaginary bubble where you ignore whom they have to play against, or where. No one disputes that the rankings during the season are based on the games you played, not the games you woulda/coulda/shoulda played. So if you're going to project the season, you need to consider those very same games.
I personally like Presnap Read's ranking on UM. They do a great job of explaining our strengths and weaknesses. To paraphrase it basically says that our coaching staff is elite and they don't expect a huge drop off, while having questions at WR and DL we are set for the most part at RB, QB, LB, and DB. 18 is somewhere I could see us finishing below closer to the top 10, but them ranking UM 18 is justified until UM can answer some of those questions.

Acceptance and Adverse Effects of H1N1 Vaccinations Among a Cohort of National Guard Health Care Workers during the 2009 Hajj Season

BMC Research Notes 2011, 4:61 doi:10.1186/1756-0500-4-61Published: 13 March 2011
The H1N1 influenza pandemic had garnered a large amount of attention. Currently, the most effective preventive measure available is the H1N1 vaccine. We aimed to assess the willingness of our study participants to receive the H1N1 vaccination prior to the annual Hajj season. If any participant declined, we investigated the reasons for vaccine rejection.
We conducted a prospective cohort study of National Guard employees during the 1430 (2009) Hajj season. A survey was used as the primary method for data collection. Participants were vaccinated one to two weeks prior to their trip to Mona, and any side effects reported at the time of injection and three weeks post vaccination were recorded.
There were 100 male and 26 female participants in the study. In total, 66.7% (n = 84) of the participants were health care workers (HCWs) and 33.3% (n = 42) were non-health care workers (non-HCWs). Less than half of the respondents (46.8%, n = 59) accepted the vaccination. The vaccination acceptance rate was higher among non-HCWs, at a rate of 71.4% (n = 30); HCWs only accepted at a rate of 34.5% (n = 29) (OR 1.103, 95% CI [0.488-2.496]). The most common reason for vaccine refusal was the impression that the disease was not fatal (25.4%, n = 32). Finally, all participants reported pain at the injection site and 18.3% (n = 11) reported swelling. All other side effects were reported in less than 15% of the participants.
Despite fears of the new H1N1 vaccine, there was a reasonable rate of vaccine acceptance among our study participants. Early health education may increase the rate of acceptance of the H1N1 vaccine. Furthermore, additional research is needed on long-term adverse effects of the H1N1 vaccine.

Chiang Mai, Thailand Hotel & Resort Guest Reviews
Always outstanding, June 24, 2015
"The room was beautiful as was the view. Also, although the wifi signal was weak in the room, it was just a short elevator ride to the Business Lounge where the attendants were most helpful in helping me connect there to a strong signal. I was able to get my work done there while being looked after by very nice people.Your kindness is appreciated and I think I may just have found my home when I visit Chiang Mai which I intend to do more often.Thanks again for your kind upgrade and I will see you again in December.

"Cant stop love this place, the price is right and staff just the best. I stay at this hotel every year in more than 10 years no and have not regret it ones. My love to all in the staff , they are the best, / Sven [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]"
SAWADEE.COM, June 3, 2015
"酒店设施比较老,但卫生还是比较干净的。酒店三楼的泳池不错,泳池水也清澈干净。酒店早餐丰富,每天也会变化一些菜品。酒店前台的郭先生中文不错,态度也是非常好,会给我们很多旅游建议。如果想要借摩托车可以出酒店那条巷子到大路口左转,靠马路左手往前走过一个小路口再走三十多米就有一个名字叫D2的借摩托车的店,这家店是郭先生介绍的,不过很有可能会碰到由于他们生意太好摩托车都租完的情况。再往前走到第二个路口左转往前走一点也有一个租摩托车的店,老板的态度也非常热情,摩托车的品质也不错,价格200泰铢/天,如果是押护照复印件需要留每辆车1000泰铢的押金。如果想租自行车,同样出酒店巷子到大路口左转走到第一个小路口左转,往前走大概五十多米在马路的右手边有一家店可以租到自行车,费用50泰铢/天。酒店位置有点偏,离老城比较远需要开摩托车或叫TUTU车,去最近的夜市出酒店到大路口右转步行十分钟。从机场叫出租车到酒店250泰铢。 [R24 integr.ERR:escaping]"
