Diamond Jim Tagging with DNR
Type: Chesapeake
Location: Chesapeake Bay
I love when I fish with friends and family but most of all I like when my family and I are out on the boat fishing for huge rockfish. My brother and I took a trip to Chesapeake Beach on the boat Patience to tag Diamond Jim with my Dad and Mom. We took our friend to tag Diamond Jim with us. Our friend, Justen and my brother reeled in the second biggest rockfish caught on the boat that day. I reeled in a big rockfish, it was 30 inches long. It was a giant. (The rockfish that I caught was the biggest one caught all day.) I loved tagging Diamond Jim with friends and family and I'll reel in any big fish any day!!!

Pasadena Tournament
Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Down's State Park
I like to fish, I like to fish so much I don't even mind getting up early to go fishing. This morning we got up really early to travel to Pasadena, MD. We went to Down's State Park and we were entered into a fishing tournament. We gathered our rods and we put our worms on the hook dropped our lines and we were off catching all kinds of fish. I caught quite of few Spots, White Perch, and to my surprise I caught a rockfish. I was shy 1/8 of an inch on winning a trophy. But that is ok my brother won one of the door prizes. We had a great lunch and a really fun day fishing. They even gave a lot of fishing tools to use for the future. They were really nice to us. I like fishing with my family, it gets us out on the water and time together to have fun.

Location: Pooles Island
My family and I had an enjoyable fishing trip on our boat this weekend. We love to spend time together fishing. My father took us over to a place called Pooles Island and we fished the waters there. We caught all kinds of fish. I caught White Perch and Spot fish. I caught an Eel that squiggled all over the place. I caught a lot of Coaker fish (they croak when you catch them.) I had a great time fishing with my family.

FUN FUN FUN -Tagging for Diamond Jim
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Upper Bay
Location: Chesapeake Bay
WooHoo!!! What an exciting day. I was excited to hear that I was able to go on a boat with the DNR biologists to tag for Diamond Jim. I knew I would have fun but I NEVER thought I would have as much fun as I did that day.
I like to fish anytime I possilbly can. I like being near the water and pulling fish up and never knowing what you will catch. But today we were going out just to catch rockfish. We were on a quest to catch big rockfish, and tag them for the Diamond Jim contest.
We started out by putting our fishing rods out with artificial parachute rigs. (First time I heard of these rigs.) We waited for the moment when the fish would strike the hooks. We were trolling the whole time. The first fish hit and then the next. There were so many fish hitting the lines. We were all excited to be able to catch a fish. My largest rockfish was 29.09 inches. I pulled and reeled the fish on my rod. The fish was really putting up a fight. The belt they placed around my waist helped me to bring that large fish in.
I was really enjoying watching the biologist tag, weigh, and measure my fish. I loved when we were able to release the fish back into the water. I am excited to see if someone is going to catch my fish and where will they catch him? I had so much fun tagging for Diamond Jim. Thank you for my exciting day DNR.

The Buck Stops … Where?
How secure is Sanchez's hold on the starting job? While he's financially stuck to the team throughout the 2013 season, his job status might be less tenable, according to PFT this morning which had a rather interesting nugget on their site today about the Jets starting quarterback spot and what the team's thinking might, or might not, be.
Sources close to Sanchez believe that the quarterback's recent contract extension means that Sanchez will be with the team, and in turn be the starter, through 2013 at a minimum. The Jets, we're told, are somewhat less unequivocal.
Per a source with direct knowledge of the situation, the Jets don't anticipate benching Sanchez this season. Still, changes to the starting lineup at quarterback and any other position would ultimately be coach Rex Ryan's decision. If he determines it's in the best interests of the team to make a change, then he will.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comHmm … it's hard not to read this and just assume that Mike Tannenbaum has directly leaked this so that he can wash his hands of the quarterback situation. It's a total guess on my part, but by assigning Sanchez's status with the team wholly on Rex, it takes the burden of any fault for decision-making from Tannenbaum. It bears noting that Tannenbaum is an occasional guest on PFT Live, which makes this scenario even more likely.
The point is, Tannenbaum is likely feeling the heat and starting to put on his asbestos suit …

A 48-year-old Price man was severely hurt Thursday night when he was struck by a train while he was walking along the tracks across from the city's Heritage Park.
Price Police Chief Aleck Shilaos said the victim, Duane Quintana, was apparently walking too close to the tracks when the train hit him at about 9:30 p.m. Quintana was being treated Friday for severe injuries to his right side at the University of Utah Medical Center in Salt Lake. A relative later told the Sun Advocate the man had lost his right arm.
Shilaos said an investigation is continuing.

ESA awards QSL cards for independent Galileo position fixes around the world Közzététel időpontja:: 23/06/2014, Utolsó frissítés: 23/06/2015
Acting on a suggestion of the European Commission, ESA invited independent signal-receivers from all over the world to submit a proof of their fixes
The invitation was open to any kind of public : private researcher, satellite hobbyists, SME's, universities, etc ...
The proofs sent were evaluated by ESA/ESTEC's technical services, and a QSL certificate was awarded to the 50 first candidates.
The success of the initiative actuelly exceeded the expectations, with submissions sent from all over the globe.
QSL Card

Assembling outfits that appear sophisticated yet youthful is always a tricky task, which explains why we have a serious style crush on Australian blogger Jessica Stein of Tuula Vintage. The subject of this month's Style Stalker melds the two looks with seeming ease for a unique style all her own, and her legions of fans would agree! Stein's blog is a spectacular fusion of both her insatiable wanderlust (recent destinations included Indonesia, Croatia, and Italy) and her love of clothes (her closet includes well-curated vintage and dazzling designer pieces). Though she's a relative newcomer to the blogosphere, if Stein's staggering number of Facebook fans is any indication, she's only just embarked on her rise to fashion blogger fame.
Stein's many ensembles range from preppy to feminine to glamorous, but no matter what she wears on any given day, she's consistent about maintaining a polished, streamlined aesthetic. That means no piled-on jewelry or excessive layers; rather, Stein exercises careful restraint in the accessories department, accenting her looks with only one or two statement pieces-a gleaming gold cuff here, a handheld vintage clutch there. Even though she embraces vibrant colors and lively prints, Stein's cool, minimalistic approach infuses each look with elegance beyond her years! For example, we particularly admire how she balances a flowing floral skirt featuring thigh-high splits with a solid white t-shirt and ladylike t-strap heels. The stunning result is an outfit that's fresh, not frivolous! Stein applies the same sartorial trick when she pairs a fun, fashion-forward dip-dye dress with gold jewelry and pointy-toe heels, again blending youthful and classic elements to achieve her trademark style. We also appreciate the blogger's sharp eye for clothes that will easily complement the rest of her wardrobe. As she adds to her growing collection, Stein snaps up pieces with interesting textures (allover sequins and delicate crochet) and a slew of floaty separates (her mint green Dion Lee tank and striped State of Georgia skirt). Most of all, we adore how Stein proudly reps several beloved Aussie-based labels like Zimmermann and Ellery, clearly proving that she hails from a land of likeminded stylish thinkers!
In between globetrotting and blogging, Stein found time to share details about several of her sleek, chic outfits, in addition to her favorite places to shop and most-visited fashion blogs. And if you're a new initiate into the Tuula Vintage fan club, as we are, check out the essentials that will help you score Stein's spot-on style.-Tiffany Tse

Please describe your personal style in two sentences or less.
I think my style is about finding wearable and fun combinations of vintage, thrift, and labels. I love finding amazing one-of-a-kind pieces, and then paring them down with boutique or high street pieces to suit my 'less is more' approach.
How does the city you live in inspire your day-to-day style?
I live in a small coastal town north of Sydney, which isn't fashion-focused, but offers a laidback beach culture. I find most of my inspiration from traveling to cities like London, Berlin, or New York and adapting what I find there to everyday life.
List some of your favorite current trends and why you appreciate them/how you are wearing them.
Since I am quite tall at 5'11", I have been appreciating flat loafers for quite a while!
Who are some of your style icons and why?
I can't think of a style icon that has inspired me as much as my mum. Flicking through photos of her at my age, I see how she was always taking risks and having fun with it, but always dressing only for herself.
Name one go-to piece in your closet and why.
My 3.1 Phillip Lim handbag was an investment piece I purchased last year that I can't go a few days without. Apart from suiting nearly every outfit it is also sturdy enough to fit everything from a spare pair of heels to my laptop and camera.
List 5 of your favorite places to shop.
My favorite place to shop would either be Berlin's flea markets at Mauerpark or Paris' Kiliwatch vintage store. I also shop online at ASOS, or my favorite Australian labels Zimmermann & Sass and Bide.
List 5 of your fashion sites/blogs.
Personal favorite blogs by fellow Aussies are Oracle Fox, Studded Hearts, and Gary Pepper Vintage, which I read daily. I also love international blogs Man Repeller, Jak and Jil, and Style Bubble.

The ladies of Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchise are no strangers to plastic surgery.
But has "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast member Brandi Glanville had the most shocking cosmetic surgery procedure of all?
During a promotional event for her new book, "Drinking & Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders," the ex-wife of Eddie Cibrian revealed she had a not-so-immediately noticeable procedure done.
"This pretty intense surgery had an even more intense price tag: $12,000," Brandi revealed in an excerpt. "A brand-new vagina would be an Eddie-free vagina ... I decided that since Eddie had ruined my vagina for me, he could pay for a new one. I gave [the doctor's office] Eddie's credit card number."
The tell-all also covers Eddie's affair with LeAnn Rimes, and how Brandi has been raising her two sons as a single mother.
Brandi has had a number of other cosmetic surgeries, including a breast augmentation and Botox.
Find out what her procedures her castmates have undergone, and see their plastic surgery before and after pics, below!

AirCares website
Thanks to our expansive communication infrastructure, we are in the ideal position to work for the less fortunate in our society. We do this via AirCares.
How does it work? Well, it's very simple: as a Flying Blue member, you can donate Award Miles to AirCares, which are then redeemed for cash by KLM and put to good use with charities. In this way, targeted help is given to specially selected aid organisations, which in turn do everything to improve the lives of less fortunate children in our society
GET IT DONE is a global community that uses social media to create, promote and support small-scale development projects around the world. The organisation acts as a link between grassroots basic human needs projects and individuals worldwide, creating personal connections between supporters and project owners.
Small local organisations and individuals can submit a project to the platform, from a clean drinking water programme to a new school construction project.
GET IT DONE and KLM share the common goal of connecting pragmatic and genuine people - and together making a difference.
Since January 2012, GET IT DONE has been an official AirCares project of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. One of the ways KLM supports GET IT DONE is by mobilizing its vast social community.
For more information please visit www.getitdone.org
Wings of Support
Wings of Support is a private initiative that was set up by KLM and Martinair employees. In countries to which KLM and Martinair fly, the organisation supports children in dire need of proper housing and education. The purpose of the Wings of Support organisation, which is made up of 80 volunteers, is to improve the living circumstances of these children within their own environment and in a sustainable way. Since its foundation in 1998, Wings of Support has supported more than 300 projects worldwide.

Good medical care is not always available in many parts of the world. In Kenya, around 12 million people depend on only one teaching hospital that lacks sufficient financial funding, medical personnel and equipment. This is why the VU University Medical Centre in Amsterdam initiated Doctor2Doctor. As part of this project, the VUmc frequently sends doctors, nurses and medical technicians to Kenya where they conduct surgical procedures, train local medical professionals, and explain how to use the medical equipment that has been flown in. The VUmc also invites Kenyan doctors to the Netherlands to acquire knowledge and experience here that they can then share with their colleagues in Kenya. Kenya Airways and KLM Health Services are closely involved with Doctor2Doctor: ten kidney dialysis machines and a large team from the VUmc were flown to Kenya at no charge for example.

Dr. Michael V. Novia's Ratings
Dr. Novia is not only an excellent surgeon, he is one of the most caring physicians I have ever encountered. He performed breast reduction surgery for me and helped me overcome chronic neck and back pain. The care I received exceeded my expectations in every way. I was fearful of surgery and Dr. Novia made the entire process very clear and comfortable. I got beautiful results and I have never felt better.

I had a breast reduction surgery done by Dr.Novia in August of this year and could not be any happier with the INCRDEIBLE results than I am. I feel very athletic and my self confidence has sky rocketed!!! His office staff and he himself are very easy to deal with, wonderful to talk to, incredibly helpful and dependable. I had done years of homework and having this surgery was a very big decision for me. The looks I now have are wonderful. My friends can not believe this could have been done, seeing the before and afters. As I followed close instructions by Dr.Novia regarding pain medications, this entire procedure of a breast reduction was completely painless. I would be glad to speak to anyone who is condsidering breast reduction surgery. Dr. Novia is a very likeable man and easy to talk to. He has a wonderful reputation in town and works with two known cancer doctors in his office. He has a reputation of being very concise and it proved to be accurate.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr.Novia. I had a breast reduction and he and his staff worked hard on my behalf with my insurance company to have it covered successfully. Dr.Novia was extremely professional and I always felt well taken care of. The results of the procedure are beautiful. He took great care to make the cuts and lines look very straight and proportioned. Dr.Novia called the night of the surgery to be sure I was recovering well and from thereon afterwards, the aftercare of the surgery was thorough and professional. I'm extremely pleased with the results! The whole experience for me was a very positive one, and I would highly recommend Dr.Novia as a provider and a surgeon who cares for his patients and works hard to achieve high quality results! Thanks again Dr.Novia!

Beautiful shoes
I love these shoes. Due to an accident I cannot wear high heels. These shoes with a lower sturdy heel are perfect.
Lichfield Park, AZ
Great lower heel shoes
These shoes are perfect for what I was looking for: a low heel dress shoe with a non-pointy toe. Too many shoes that look great for work are way too high of a heel. 3 inches and more is too high when you are trying to have a healthy back! It's nice to finally have an option of a lower heel dress shoe! I wish there were more styles offered.
Burlington, VT
I'm 21 and recently had bunion surgery on both my feet (inherited horror-feet). I can't wear flats. I can't wear high pumps. I can't wear pointed toes. Basically: I can't buy shoes! I'm too young for frumpy footwear (so is anyone under 80)! These shoes are the perfect middle-ground between feet-killing, impractical chic flats and old lady orthopedics. These shoes are plain and simple enough to look at first glance like an ordinary pair of flats, but the thick, stumpy heel means they're 100 times better for your feet! These shoes are heaven-sent!

By now we all know that Apple has an event planned for January 27th, 2010 and the rumors about what was going to be announced have been running rampant.
Well now it looks like BoyGeniusReport has received some info from an Apple contact regarding the iPhone 4.0 operating system.
According to BGR
- There will be multi-touch gestures OS-wide. (Would make sense for that as the rumored OS for the iTablet is close if not the same as the iPhone)
- "A few new ways" to run applications in the background — multitasking.
- Many graphical and UI changes to make navigating through the OS easier and more efficient. We haven't had this broken down, but we can only hope for improved notifications, a refreshed homescreen, etc.
- The update will supposedly be available for only the iPhone 3G and 3GS, but will "put them ahead in the smartphone market because it will make them more like full-fledged computers" more than any other phone to date. Everyone is "really excited."
- The last piece of information is the most vague, but apparently there will be some brand new syncing ability for the contacts and calendar applications.
From the sounds of it the 4.0 software will finally give users some things they wanted, but anyone still using the original iPhone 2G will unfortunately not be able to upgrade.
Until January 27th we guess everyone will just have to sit tight and wait

BGA Extra – Bumper Bye Week Extravaganza
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
This analysis is based on watching and re-watching TV footage. As such, it is not always possible to accurately determine everything that was going on. However, every effort has been made to ensure that the information below is as complete and correct as possible. For the purposes of BGA Extra (but not BGA, since that is too early in the week), I have also reviewed the coaches film, which was available for every play (whereas last year, it was only available for big plays). Statistics from PFF which are not available to subscribers were used in the completion of this article and we thank them for providing us with exclusive access to these.
Welcome to BGA Extra, where I draw a line under the previous weekend's game by responding to your questions from BGA during the week. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I wasn't able to complete the BGA Extra over the last three weeks, but we're making up for that now as I respond to your comments from the BGA for each of the last three games.
Jets baby
How much money is Sanchez guaranteed next year? That's the thing that kills me. I don't see them replacing him when he makes so much damn money.
He's guaranteed $8m and that is the ONLY guaranteed money remaining on his deal. Unfortunately, as the Jets become more and more certain he's not their guy, it becomes less and less likely that another team will trade for him. At the same time, if he plays well enough over the second half that some teams would be interested, then this will also make it difficult for the Jets to feel comfortable with giving up on him. It's not a totally untradeable contract and there are ways around trading players without all of the guaranteed money passing to the other team, so I don't think the Jets are totally locked in. The reason he's still playing? They're hoping the light bulb will come on and he'll become a more consistently reliable performer. While that's looking less and less likely, it's the outcome they're hoping for…all because of the money they've already invested.
I was wondering if you could discuss Jets performances after playing the Pats under Rex. It seems like we always lay an egg the game following the Pats like the team wears itself out preparing for them and sets itself up for a let down.
I think that's definitely been a factor in some of their poor performances, but it hasn't happened every time. Here's the post-Pats game performances in the Rex era:
2009 – 24-17 win over Tennessee and 17-6 win over Carolina
2010 – 31-23 win in Miami, 10-6 loss to Miami, 24-19 loss to Pittsburgh
2011 – 24-6 win over Miami, 17-13 loss in Denver
2012 – 30-9 loss to Miami
While they're 4-4, some of those wins were disappointingly flat wins over poor teams. Having said that, flat starts have been going on throughout the Rex Ryan regime and weren't just restricted to those games following the Pats week.
Some good news: They're 5-1 in the game AFTER the game after the Pats game, including five wins in a row.
Can you discuss if you saw on the Thomas touchdown did Yeremiah Bell just fly over Thomas without trying to stop him, essentially allowing him to score? Was this a matter of ex-teammates/friends? This does this happen a lot? I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this.
No, it may have looked that way, but Bell just overpursued and had to reach back to make the tackle as Thomas did a good job of staying low and turning upfield. This was all about leverage. Put a heavy box down in front of you and you can easily bend down and pick it up. Now try moving it a couple of feet to the side and lifting it without moving your feet. Harder than it looks…especially when the box is moving! I don't have any concerns about Bell's commitment and dedication to the team, but I will of course mention it if I start to see any signs indicating otherwise.
What is your take on David Harris this year? He seems invisible to me most of the time. Is he still an above average linebacker?
I think Harris is suffering this year because he's having to deal with blockers a lot more often. Part of that has been due to the injuries to Sione Po'uha and Bart Scott (and to a lesser extent Kenrick Ellis), who when healthy have done a good job of enabling him to play in space. Harris has been very productive (68 tackles at the halfway point, compared with 84 all year in 2011), but at the same time he has already missed more tackles than he did all of last year. When looking at his $9m per year contract, you need to factor in that this accounts for the fact he only earned $550K in the uncapped year, when it was impossible to extend him due to the 30% and reallocation rules, so really it's more of a backloaded $7.5m per year deal. Is he underperforming that contract? Yes…but it's not as bad as it looks and he could still finish the season strong if Scott and Po'uha are healthy over the second half (or if Ellis and Davis step up in a big way).
Roger A. Fortune
I hate how many other sports writers say that Sanchez missed the read on Kerley (the one that he slipped on). Thank you for being one of the first to point it out, although Sanchez should have thrown it away promptly to avoid putting Folk in a bad position
Just to point out that throwing the ball away would have been a disaster because it would have left more time on the clock for the Pats to potentially win the game with a late touchdown. They executed poorly on one of their favorite plays – the rollout to Keller – because the Pats saw it coming and doubled down on the tight end.
Considering that Brady has kicked our teeth down our throat every time we go into "prevent" defense for the last ten years, why do you think we went into Prevent "D" in regulation? Also, considering that Brady just kicked our teeth in during regulation in order to tie it up with a field goal, why do you think we went into prevent "D" in overtime? Did we not get our teeth kicked in hard enough during regulation for us to make the same mistake all over again? Also why do you think NE was playing so aggressively by blitzing in overtime… I mean what the hell were they trying to do, win the game or something???
Nice rant! However, I wouldn't necessarily term this as a prevent defense. They merely had their dime personnel in the game to match up with New England's spread formations on the last drive, which was pretty much consistent with what they did all day. In overtime, they were mostly in nickel. While you make a good point and perhaps a more aggressive defensive series might have yielded different results (they didn't blitz at all), you have to bear in mind that in each situation a touchdown would have ended the game, so I'm sure that factored into their reluctance to take risks. Also, in their famous playoff win over the Pats, the Jets dropped into coverage all day long and were able to contain Brady, so I don't think it's the case that he has ripped apart their prevent every time. On those two drives, Brady completed five passes against rookies who have barely played. Had their personnel been at full strength, maybe this strategy would have been successful.
The guys on Jets post game live said that Sanchez did not, at all, look off any defenders and throughout the entire game locked on one receiver from the get go. Obviously that was not the case on the pick as he pumped left and came back right but was that statement accurate otherwise?
I tend to find that the guys on these postgame shows often make generalizations all the time which are proven not to be true once you go back and watch the footage in detail. Maybe that's something he didn't do enough of and there are certainly clear examples of him locking onto his guy, but to say he never went to his second read would be a major oversimplification.
Could you provide a little more detail on the 3rd and 1 Chaz Schilens incompletion in the red zone that led to a field goal? Not sure if the throw should have been better (ie higher, lower, more in front, more behind, too hard, too soft), if Schilens dropped it, if the defender got a piece or a combo of some and/or all of these things? In retrospect everyone (including myself) is saying they should have run or used Tebow but I thought that connection should have been made.
Schilens definitely was open with the defender on his back, but Sanchez's throw was half a beat late and thrown out in front of the receiver rather than right at his numbers. Schilens may have expected the pass to come right to him because of the separation he got at the line and had to try to reach for the ball with the defender draped all over him rather than being able to "box out" the defender. This could easily have been called pass interference, but should have been completed anyway. I'd have liked to see a run too, especially since they were running well on that drive, but it's worth noting that it was actually closer to 3rd and two than 3rd and one.
Can you tell me what's up with Ricky Sapp?
Sapp is reportedly healthy and has been doing a good job with the Scout Team. He might have been activated earlier in the year, but DE/OLB is the one position where the Jets have been relatively healthy and they've constantly needed active roster spots for their reserves to fill in for temporarily inactive players. With Bilal Powell and Kenrick Ellis set to return to the lineup, there may at last be room for him but it remains to be seen whether he will be able to earn any playing time ahead of the disappointing Aaron Maybin and Garrett McIntyre.
Would you please break down the times the Jets blitzed Brady and how effective they were?
According to PFF, the Jets blitzed Brady seven times and he was 4-for-7 for 52 yards and a touchdown. That was the Gronkowski play where he was hit as he threw and lofted the ball to the back of the end zone.
Simms kept mentioning the Jets inability to run a successful screen (as opposed to the Pats). The success of this type of play seems to be the result of practice, repetitions and recognition of the defense you are playing. When it works, it seems like a very simple pass; perfect for Sanchez. Any theory on why they suck at this fundamental but good to move the chains play?
Sanchez was actually becoming pretty good at the screen pass based on my most recent analysis but now seems to be a good time to revisit their numbers on screen passes so far this year. Sanchez is 10-for-18 with 92 yards and a pick, much worse than last year. The reasons are the same reasons he was struggling in the past: Defenses are anticipating it because they're calling it at the wrong times or failing to disguise it well enough and the execution has been poor, whether that be one missed block downfield, Austin Howard letting his man get to Sanchez too quickly so he's off-balance when he throws the pass (which has happened a handful of times) or Sanchez's ball placement letting him down. Sanchez has shown he can be successful with this play though, so it's not all on him.
Can you comment on how Q. Coples did as compared to Chandler Jones?
Give credit to D'Brickashaw Ferguson, because Jones was held to just two pressures on 49 pass rush attempts, easily the least productive pass rushing performance of his career so far. Coples, in 72 snaps (easily a career high), had four pressures. They both had minimal impact against the run, with two solo tackles each. Jones has been by far the more productive player of the two, although he has played more as a 4-3 DE which means it's not really fair to make a direct comparison. On this day, however, Coples was the more disruptive of the two.
On Gronk's first TD, It looked to me like there was a little juggling going on and the ball clearly touched the ground when he landed? Clearly they ruled he already had possession. Thoughts?
Remembering that it's okay for the ball to hit the ground as long as the receiver has established control, I don't think there was much chance of that getting overturned. I think LaRon Landry could have knocked it down if he had tried to bat it with his right hand instead of his left though.
Ghost On
I read somewhere that the Patriots got help from the home clock on that fumble recovery. Play stopped at 2:01, should it have stopped under two minutes? While blown/missed calls from refs suck, it's part of the game. Gifting the Pats an extra timeout is truly egregious, however, so I hope that isn't true…
The league admitted that there was a mistake, although they cleared the Patriots of any deliberate intervention. In real time it probably would have been difficult for a scoreboard operator to have the foresight to realize he could gain an advantage for the home team anyway. Again, though, it could have been avoided if one of the Jets coaches had noticed at the time.
My question is something that Bill Barnwell noted over at Grantland, where he said that on the game ending sack/fumble, one of the Pats linemen should have been flagged for a "Brady Rule" violation, for tripping Sanchez while on the ground. Did you see this too, and is it another bad call that we should feel rotten about?
Note that it's called the Brady Rule, not the Sanchez rule. I can't see the Jets benefiting from that call in New England. Obviously Barnwell has a point.
How bad really was the officiating? It seemed like a ghost PI call, the clock stoppage and the "Brady rule" non call all seemed suspect. Oh, and the Allen facemask (ruled to be before the kick). Also, can Trufant be the answer to those shifty slot receivers that usually kill us?
Sure, a few calls hurt them, but they should have won in spite of these (other than the one which ended the game). For what it's worth, the Allen/Woodhead penalty (erroneously called on Bellore) was definitely after the kick. Again, I'd imagine that's reviewable. It did cost the Jets 27 yards ultimately, but they were still able to drive for a late field goal. As for Trufant, we'll see. He got some playing time against Miami and seemed to do okay – they have to be wary of him ending up on someone bigger though, because teams will exploit that.
I was wondering…how many offensive plays did the Patriots get yesterday? And the Jets?
The Jets lined up 84 times and New England 80. Obviously that includes some plays that were negated due to penalties. It does not include special teams plays.
Do you think that the Jets moving Vlad into rotation is the precursor to them letting Slauson go at the end of the season?
Not necessarily. Maybe Ducasse and Slauson will be the starters next year. Slauson could be better suited to right guard which is usually a less demanding position in terms of pass protection (although with Howard on the right and Ferguson on the left, maybe that's not the case).
Did you notice the O-line play more zone this week (against the Colts)? If they did that'll be great news. It would mean the team can run behind that scheme.
They were pretty much running the same plays they've been running all season. That's even better news because it means the system is starting to work. Having to change the scheme to get it working would have been a backwards step, even if it was initially successful.
Coples playing inside vs. outside… thoughts? I think he's much more effective over guards and the center.
First off, let's break down his snaps so far:
So, the analysis would really depend on whether you consider 3-4 DE to be an inside position. However, I can split out who he was matched up against when he made a positive or negative play. This is an inexact science because obviously he would sometimes stunt so he might line up outside and end up being blocked by someone on the inside or vice versa. He has one sack, one hit and three pressures against interior linemen, two hits and four pressures (but no sacks) against tackles and one sack and three pressures when unblocked or due to coverage. He does grade out slightly better against interior linemen.
Kevin T
Has Aaron Berry seen the field thus far? Do you see him being worked into the rotation in the near future? Also, what have the jets been doing differently without Revis in there? Or are they just making Cromartie the new Revis, Wilson the new Cro etc…
Berry has only seen action on special teams. It's difficult to generalize about the Jets' coverages because they mix them up so much anyway when Revis is in there. However, it does seem like they are leaning on zone coverages quite a lot, including sometimes with Cromartie playing zone. They did the same with Revis at times too, though.
I'm curious about Maybin's penalty on Cro's interception. you wrote that it was for a block in the back, but in his presser Rex indicated that it was for giving him the business, which I took to mean that he was celebrating right in Luck's face. Did you see any of this? To me it didn't look like a penalty at all. I thought that Maybin hit him clean. What do you think?
For once the totally overrated (IMO) all-22 footage provides us with a clear answer here. Maybin nailed Luck with a totally unnecessary pancake block as Luck had no chance of making the tackle AND then landed on him and appeared to talk trash to him while he was on the floor. The block itself was clean, but quarterbacks are, by rule, considered defenseless players on turnovers, so the unnecessary roughness call was technically (and probably morally) correct.
Hopefully things should return to normal for the second half of the season, so I'll be back on Monday with BGA from the Seattle game and Wednesday with the BGA Extra. Thanks for your patience and support.

Robert C. Byrd
Paul Hosefros/The New York Times
Robert C. Byrd, a Democrat from West Virginia, was a Senator for 51 years and a member of the House for 6, making him the longest-serving member of the Senate and Congress in U.S. history. He died on June 28, 2010, at the age of 92.
During his three terms in the House and nine terms in the Senate, Mr. Byrd became known as a master of parliamentary procedures and a fierce defender of Congress against the expanding power of the executive branch. He held a number of Senate offices, including majority and minority leader and president pro tem.
But the post that gave him the most satisfaction was chairman of the Appropriations Committee, with its power of the purse — a post he gave up only in 2009 as his health declined. A New Deal Democrat, Mr. Byrd used the position in large part to battle persistent poverty in West Virginia, which he called "one of the rock bottomest of states."
That attention brought the state billions of dollars for highways, federal offices, research institutes and dams. It also won him a reputation as "the prince of pork.''
Mr. Byrd's death came as Senate Democrats were working to pass the final version of the financial overhaul bill and win other procedural battles in the week before the Independence Day recess. In the polarized atmosphere of Washington, President Obama's agenda seemed to hinge on Mr. Byrd's health, just as in the final days of the health care debate, the ailing senator was pushed onto the Senate floor in his plaid wheelchair so he could cast his votes.
Governor Joe Manchin III, a Democrat, appointed Carte P. Goodwin as interim successor to Mr. Byrd.
Mr. Byrd was the valedictorian of his high school class but was unable to afford college. It was not until he was in his 30s and 40s that he took college courses. But he was profoundly self-educated and well read. His Senate speeches sparkled with citations from Shakespeare, the King James version of the Bible and the histories of England, Greece and Rome.
As a champion of the legislative branch, he found cautionary tales in those histories. In 1993, as Congress weighed a line-item veto, which would have given President Bill Clinton the power to strike individual spending measures from bills passed by Congress, Mr. Byrd delivered 14 speeches on the history of Rome and the role of its Senate.
"Gaius Julius Caesar did not seize power in Rome," he said. Rather, he said, "the Roman Senate thrust power on Caesar deliberately, with forethought, with surrender, with intent to escape from responsibility."
A decade later, Mr. Byrd saw a similar lack of Congressional spine. In deferring to President George W. Bush on the Iraq war, Congress had shown a willingness to "hand over, for the foreseeable future, its constitutional power to declare war," he wrote in "Losing America: Confronting a Reckless and Arrogant Presidency" (Norton, 2004).
In 2007, at the unveiling of a portrait of Mr. Byrd in the Old Senate Chamber, former Senator Paul S. Sarbanes of Maryland, a colleague of 30 years, recalled that Mr. Byrd had taught him how to answer when a constituent asked, "How many presidents have you served under?"
"None," was Mr. Byrd's reply, Mr. Sarbanes said. "I have served with presidents, not under them."
Mr. Byrd's perspective on the world changed over the years. He filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and supported the Vietnam War only to come to back civil rights measures and criticize the Iraq war. Rating his voting record in 1964, Americans for Democratic Action, the liberal lobbying group, found that his views and the organization's were aligned only 16 percent of the time. In 2005, he got an A.D.A. rating of 95.
Mr. Byrd's political life could be traced to his early involvement with the Ku Klux Klan, an association that almost thwarted his career and clouded it intermittently for years afterward.
His opponents used his Klan membership against him during his first run for the House of Representatives in 1952; Democratic leaders urged him to drop out of the race. But he stayed in and won, then spent decades apologizing for what he called a "sad mistake."
He went on to vote for civil rights legislation in 1957 and 1960, but when the more sweeping Civil Rights Act was before Congress in 1964, he filibustered for an entire night against it, saying the measure was an infringement on states' rights. He backed civil rights legislation consistently only after becoming a party leader in the Senate.
In the Senate, he was the Democratic leader from 1977 to 1989, though at the same time something of a loner. He was not particularly well liked, and some senators feared him as a threat to their own spending projects. But he was deeply respected as a voice of the institution.
He was never a particularly partisan Democrat. President Richard M. Nixon briefly considered him for a Supreme Court appointment. Mr. Dole recalled an occasion when Mr. Byrd gave him advice on a difficult parliamentary question; the help enabled Mr. Dole to overcome Mr. Byrd on a particular bill.
Mr. Byrd returned to the post of majority leader in 1987, but after the 1988 elections, Senate Democrats wanted to replace him with someone they thought would make a better spokesman on television. They chose Senator George J. Mitchell of Maine.
Mr. Byrd was given his dream job, as the Appropriations Committee chairman. In June 1990, he traveled to Clarksburg, W. Va., to announce a $4 million grant to study whether to move the F.B.I.'s identification division there. But he had bigger plans as well.
"I hope to become West Virginia's billion-dollar industry," Mr. Byrd told reporters.
"By the time this six-year term of mine is up" in 1995, he went on, "I will have added at least a billion dollars. That's my goal for West Virginia."
In 1991, he had already reached that goal, four years early, according to a tally by The Associated Press.
Mr. Byrd wrote four books. He compiled speeches about the Senate into a four-volume history of the institution, published from 1989 to 1994. His speeches about the Roman Senate, intended to steel his colleagues against demands for a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution and a line-item veto for the president, were published in 1995.
Mr. Byrd always carried a copy of the Constitution. He said his second-proudest accomplishment was legislation requiring every educational institution receiving federal aid to observe the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution on Sept. 17 by teaching students about it.
He had an abiding concern for the traditions and dignity of the Senate. When the Senate was struggling to agree on rules for the impeachment trial of Mr. Clinton in 1999, Mr. Byrd warned that the Senate itself was also on trial.
"The White House has sullied itself," he said, "and the House has fallen into a black pit of partisanship and self-indulgence. The Senate is teetering on the brink of that same black pit."
When, in 2005, Republicans considered banning the filibuster on judicial nominations, he warned that such an action would change the "nature of the Senate by destroying the right of free speech it has enjoyed since its creation."
In "Losing America," he wrote that the Senate without the filibuster "will no longer be a body of equals."

Comments about Vestax Typhoon DJ MIDI controller with sound card:
Vestax Typhoon rules. EQ + Gain sliders are beautiful with resistance akin to the PMC-07 (mine's dead). my 2007 macbook can't really scratch or cue like a beast, but winding back to cue, or doing cheezy spinbacks on a mix-out (which is actually the shit) feels good. best part about this thing though is the layout. it's perfect. The 2 dedicated Effects knobs and buttons are right where they need to be, the Nintendo-style loading button is GREAT and you dont even think about it, you just hit up or down, and point it to the deck to load a track.. Steve Jobs would say "It just works".Only thing it lacks that i'd be cool with is a physical crossfader curve control, but i'm sure most users don't even care about that, (and you can change it in Traktor anyway). I really, really love this thing. I've tried the NS-7, it was big, ugly and the platters felt like crap. I've tried the smaller Numark controllers, those are toys. This is a REAL DEAL Vestax, these people know what DJs actually do - make music. Simply an awesome piece of gear.

New Fairtrade Chief Executive Announced
Fairtrade International is proud to announce the appointment of Harriet Lamb as the new Chief Executive of Fairtrade International. Harriet brings an unrivalled track record in driving Fairtrade success after more than 10 years as Executive Director of the UK Fairtrade Foundation.
It is a homecoming of sorts for the long-standing Fair Trader who began her Fairtrade career as Banana Coordinator at Fairtrade International before joining the Foundation in 2001.
"Harriet has a wealth of experience of the movement, combining an extraordinary memory of the past with a clear vision for the future," says Marike de Peña, Vice Chair of Fairtrade International's Board, and manager of BANELINO, a small farmer banana cooperative in the Dominican Republic.
Harriet is the author of "Fighting the Banana Wars and Other Fairtrade Battles," published in 2008, and has won numerous awards for her contributions to sustainable development and business. During her time at the Fairtrade Foundation, she oversaw a growth in sales from 37 million euros in 2001 to nearly 1.5 billion euros in 2011. Her work has taken her around the globe to spend time with farmers and workers and understand the challenges and impacts of Fairtrade.
"There aren't many people who come more qualified or who personify Fairtrade better than Harriet Lamb," said Molly Harriss Olson, Board Chair at Fairtrade International.
"Fairtrade has already come on a breath-taking journey," said Harriet. "We've established a proven model for doing business differently, which is already bringing tangible, positive impacts for millions of people in farmers' organizations and their wider communities. But I'm in no doubt of the immense challenges that still remain.
"There are hundreds of millions of small farmers and workers not able to earn a decent livelihood, to gain fair market access for their goods, or to adapt to the growing threat of climate change. My top priority will be to strengthen Fairtrade's support for farmers and workers on the ground. I'm excited by the opportunity for our unique producer-partnership model to transform trade and business relationships in the future, and look forward now to working globally across the Fairtrade movement to realise our vision and our potential."
Throughout Harriet's career, social justice has been a connecting thread. Harriet has worked with farmers and landless labourer cooperatives in India, campaigned on issues such as the national minimum wage in the UK, and the establishment of an EU code of conduct on arms sales.
Harriet's appointment was a unanimous decision by the Board of Fairtrade International following a rigorous six-month recruitment and selection process. She will take up her new role with Fairtrade International in early September.

Our Impact, Our Experts
What's your approach to teaching?
"I think of my responsibility as a teacher is facilitating students to fully recognise their own capacities. I'm less interested in telling students what they think they need to know. So much more interactive learning takes place in an environment in which excitement and curiosity are nurtured. Part of my task is to teach students to go beyond what I can offer them, to encourage them to extend themselves in new directions, ultimately, I suppose, to outgrow me!"
- Professor Alissa Trotz, Women and Gender Studies Institute
"My basic approach when teaching in a large class is to first give basic building blocks, connect them with practical life situations, and then to bring in the critical thinking and problem solving aspects to reinforce the concept. One of the ways I do this is by integrating news stories which are relevant. Students may not be thinking about physiology when they are exposed to the news, so I bring the relevance of that to the classroom. It's very appropriate in helping students think outside the box."
- Professor Chris Perumalla, U of T Medicine
"I try to inject as much humour into my lectures as possible. It's difficult to maintain full attention for two straight hours, so I use levity or breaks to allow students to relax and refocus. I've also learned from my mistakes and have recognized what works and what doesn't work, so teaching for me is a continuous learning process. Most importantly I want my students to take away transferable skills. I'm not obsessed with memorization; rather, I'm more concerned if my students can write and think critically."
- Professor Larry Sawchuk, Anthropology, University of Toronto Scarborough

text: I am taking my 17 yr old son to CO unit 67 for the muzzy deer hunt. This unit has limited amounts of alpine/timberline country with lots of 9000-9500 aspen country. My first thought is to hit the alpine bowls/timberline but with the the archery season opening 3 weeks prior to the muzzy opener on 9/14 and assuming the bulk of the muzzy elk hunters will be hitting the high country as well, will the deer be knocked off the tops? Also with the 9/14 opener, most will have shed by then and probably be hitting the timber. Would you guys write off the tops and concentrate on the aspens, or spend the time checking out the tops first and see first hand whats going on? The good thing with 67 is tags are fairly limited for all seasons but so is the amount of high country, so it could get beat up fast. Hopefully you guys with more first hand knowledge of the CO muzzy season can provide some insight. The bio has suggested this unit holds deer in the 9-9500 range but I enjoy hunting the high country.

When dealing with domestic violence, Avery County

During the first
weeks of his term in office, Frye vowed to take the issue very seriously. True
to his word, an Avery man was arrested last week for allegedly assaulting a woman.
24-year-old Samuel Nicholas Wyatt was charged with felony assault by
strangulation and was released on a $15,000 bond. Frye expressed his admiration
for both Domestic Violence Investigator Natalie Cook and other detectives in
his department in a written statement after the incident.

Possible to be attracted from a profile?
Oct 12th 2013 new
Just wondering if this is part of the challenge of online dating. So far my experience has been that I am much more attracted to the men I've been in contact with after meeting them then I was by looking at their profile and picture. Interacting with him and seeing his mannerisms can bump up the level of attraction a great deal! Perhaps it's not possible to really be attracted to someone from a profile? And perhaps this is the reason there seem to be persons on here who are frustrated with the process - because the "complete package" of who they are cannot be communicated effectively in their profile?
