This is a follow-up post to our prior analysis comparing the Seattle Seahawks' two Super Bowl teams–the 2005 and 2013 teams. If you didn't have the opportunity to read it, we established three simple parameters to winning football games:
- The team with the higher QB Rating usually wins the game
- Defense Wins Championships
- You have to win either Offense or Defense + Special Teams to win the game
In Super Bowl games, the team with the higher QB Rating has won 42 of 47 games (or 89.4%). The best defense has won 29 of the 47 Super Bowl games played (or 61.7%), while the #1 Overall NFL Defense has won 16 of 21 Super Bowl games played (or 76.2%). Conversely, the #1 Overall NFL Offense has won only 10 of 23 games played (or 43.5%). Finally, the #1 Overall NFL Offense and the #1 Overall NFL Defense have played in six Super Bowls with the #1 Defense winning five of those six games (or 83.3%).
This year's game features one coach (John Fox) who is bringing his second team to the Super Bowl and one coach who has never coached on this stage before (Pete Carroll). Using 5 statistics that I think are most indicative of quality coaching, we'll look at both coaches head-to-head:
The overall winning percentage is neck and neck, and both teams were 13-3 in the 2013 regular season. Neither coach has won a Super Bowl. John Fox brought the Carolina Panthers to Super Bowl 38, but lost to the New England Patriots; however, his overall playoff winning percentage is better than Pete Carroll's. Fox's Net Penalty Differential is also superior, meaning that his teams tend to average fewer penalties than Carroll's. Pete Carroll's team generates more turnovers, but this stat alone isn't enough to give Carroll an edge over Fox. The Denver Broncos coach gets a slight nod over Carroll in this area. ADVANTAGE: DENVER
Since the team with the higher QB Rating wins 89.4% of the time in the Super Bowl, the statistics lean heavily in favor of Denver. Peyton Manning's 2013 season has been a truly special year. In fact, no other team in NFL history has scored more points in the regular season.
Peyton Manning's 5.50 Touchdown to Interception ratio is eye-popping. Russell Wilson is a very efficient, above average NFL QB and Manning's TD / INT ratio is nearly double Wilson's. That is staggering. The chart on QB Rating shows Denver's clear advantage. It is interesting to note that the Seattle Seahawks have held 5 of the 12 QBs that they have faced to their lowest QB Rating for the season. Manning's lowest QB Rating this season is 70.4 against the Patriots. Since 2008, the NFL average QB Rating is 83.2, so even Manning's worst game is still about average for most NFL QBs. This Super Bowl literally matches up strength vs. strength. When Denver has the ball, you don't want to leave the room. The chart below shows the six times where the #1 Overall NFL Offense faced off against the #1 Overall NFL Defense. This statistic favors the Seattle Seahawks with the #1 Defense winning five of those six games (or 83.3%). ADVANTAGE: DENVER
Running Back
A comparison of the running backs featured in this year's Super Bowl shows two players with fairly comparable statistics.
The Seattle Seahawks' Marshawn Lynch has 1 more touchdown, 2 more 100+ yard games and 219 more yards for the season, giving him an edge over Denver's Knowshon Moreno. ADVANTAGE: SEAHAWKS
Wide Receiver
After reviewing Peyton Manning's impressive passing and scoring statistics, this comparison almost isn't fair.
The Seattle Seahawks have a talented trio of WR, including Golden Tate, Percy Harvin and Doug Baldwin. Across the field on Sunday, the Denver Broncos may suit up the best catch crew that the Legion of Boom has faced all year. Demariyus Thomas' statistics this year are gaudy. 14 touchdowns, 1,430 yards, 633 yards after catch and 6 100+ yard games are jaw-dropping. It will be fun to watch the Seattle Seahawks defend against this group. ADVANTAGE: DENVER
Conversely, while the passing and receiving stats don't seem fair, neither do comparison of the Defenses. The Seattle Seahawks are firm believers in the mantra "Defense Wins Championships." This year's team held 5 of the 12 QBs they faced to their lowest QB Rating for the season. If you included the awful game that Drew Brees played against Seattle on Monday Night Football, that would mean that half of the quarterbacks that played against the Seattle Seahawks had their worst game of the season.
There is no defensive category where the Denver Broncos best the Seattle Seahawks. Plus, the #1 Overall NFL Defense has won 16 of the 21 Super Bowl games played (76.2%). A key for the Seattle Seahawks will be their ability to get pressure on Peyton Manning. The New England Patriots (and Pete Carroll's former NFL team) know this formula all too well. In fact, Manning had his worst outing of the 2013 season against the Patriots. ADVANTAGE: SEATTLE
Special Teams
Last, but not least, there are Special Teams. Afterall, it is called "football," so it is still important that the pigskin meets the foot to establish field position, provide points after touchdowns (PAT), or possibly seal the victory or defeat of a team.
The Seahawks and Broncos are very close from a Special Teams comparison. The Seattle Seahawks have almost 1 yard better average net punt, which measures how well your punter kicks and your coverage teams preventing long returns. Seattle is 5+ yards better covering kickoffs, while Denver is 2% better in field goals made. Over 100 attempted field goals, that amounts to 6 points or just shy of a touchdown. While the teams are close, I give the Seahawks a nod for have better averages in 2 of 3 metrics. ADVANTAGE: SEATTLE
The following table summarizes this:
As we've already stated, 2013 was a special year for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. However, the Seattle Seahawks defense is equally tough. The Legion of Boom has made quarterbacks like Drew Brees, Colin Kaepernick, Peyton's brother Eli Manning and Matt Schaub look downright silly. The Seahawk's ability to hold opposing QB to a ridiculously low 64.1 QB Rating combined with its slightly better running back in Marshawn Lynch and Special Teams give the Seattle Seahawks the nod in this year's Super Bowl. While it's amazing to note that the team with best QB Rating wins 89.4% of the Super Bowls, when the #1 Offense meets the #1 Defense, the #1 Defense has owned the offense 83.3% of the time. After all, "Defense Wins Championships." OVERALL ADVANTAGE: SEATTLE
Just in case I'm completely wrong and Peyton Manning rocks all the trends, here are several interesting statistics for the top QB performances all time in the Super Bowl. Each of these is the best performance in a QB category in Super Bowl history.
Let us know in the comments below, who do you think will win?

Extra, Extra: Crad Kilodney, Exploring the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, and When There Were Bike Lanes on Jarvis
Every weekday's end, we collect just about everything you ought to care about or ought not to miss.
- In today's Star, Joe Fiorito remembers author Crad Kilodney, who was "a notorious crank, a curmudgeon, and an artist at odds with the world" and who wrote more than 30 books, one of which was called Lightning Struck My Dick (a title we do not believe is shared by any other work of Canadian literature). While he mostly hated Toronto, he was an enduring, eye-catching, iconoclastic presence on its streets for 20 years.
- Some lucky people were given a behind-the-scenes, under-the-ground look yesterday at how construction is progressing on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT. One unlucky person got a very different kind of sneak peek this morning when she drove her SUV into an Eglinton Crosstown LRT construction pit. She was, thankfully, unharmed.
- Remember when there were bike lanes on Jarvis? Well, it turns out that when there were such things on Jarvis, the street was probably safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike—which is a shame, really, in that the City removed those bike lanes in November 2012.

WASHINGTON, D.C.--In a new sign that the battle over biotech food is heating up in the United States, a coalition of 54 consumer, farming, and environmental organizations today petitioned the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to require mandatory safety testing and labeling for bioengineered crops--neither of which is required at the moment. In the meantime, the groups want FDA to remove all transgenic products from supermarkets.
By law, the agency has 180 days to respond; if FDA doesn't come around, the coalition promises to go to court. "This is not howling in the wind," says Joseph Mendelson, legal director of the Center for Food Safety, the lead petitioner.
Meanwhile, to counter the "nonsense" and "unfounded attacks" coming from opponents, almost 1900 scientists have signed a probiotech petition posted on the Web by Channapatna Prakashthat, director of the Center for Plant Biotechnology Research at Tuskegee University in Alabama. Among the signers are two Nobel laureates, geneticist James Watson and green revolution pioneer Norman Borlaug.
Prakashthat says the petition, which urges policy-makers to use "sound scientific principles" in biotech regulation, will eventually be sent to world leaders.

Marquesa, Scottsdale Princess resort, 7575 East Princess Drive, Scottsdale, 585-4848. Sunday brunch: 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Lots of folks will be spending big bucks this Sunday on a brunch worthy of Mom. Not my pal Bob. He hates those opulent brunches. "There are so many choices, so many strategies," he says. "I'm never sure how to operate. Do I heap my plate full of crab legs so I can get my money's worth? I like omelets, but I know that's not cost-effective eating. Can I in good conscience pick the shrimp out of the shrimp salad? Do I aim at every hot dish, even the vegetables? And what about dessert? Do I peck away at several sweets, or bomb away at a single target?" Then he gets really steamed. "But no matter what I do," he complains, "by the time I'm ready to head home, the results are always the same. I always end up overeating, and I feel bloated and sleepy. With most of Sunday still ahead of me, all I have energy for is a nap." I say: What's the problem? "Sated and inert" sounds like the perfect Sunday to me. Especially if I got that way brunching at Marquesa at the Scottsdale Princess or the Latilla Room at the Boulders.
Marquesa is housed in a gorgeous room that pays homage to the regional Spanish cuisine of Catalonia. On a beautiful Valley Sunday, the back doors are swung open, so brunchers can gaze at the orange trees and palms on the hotel grounds, and the McDowell Mountains in the distance. Inside, huge chandeliers with crystal teardrops, life-size portraits of Spanish nobility, fresh flowers on the table and the Iberian rhythms of a guitarist give brunchers the feeling that they're being entertained at the home of a Spanish grandee. So does the solicitous attention of servers brightly garbed in kepis and red sashes. The meal starts with Spanish champagne and mineral water. It's good manners to linger a moment and toast Mom's health. But after clinking glasses, cagey brunchers should sprint directly over to the seafood section. The shrimp, caviar and smoked trout might be the main piscatorial attractions under other circumstances. But not as long as three other ocean-based treats are also in the competition. The crab legs here are fabulous, succulent, meaty critters that don't have that soggy, water-logged taste that often brings them up short.
I paused to admire the beautiful, whole poached salmon before I decided it would look even more beautiful on my plate. If you've forgotten what salmon is supposed to taste like, Marquesa's version will be your benchmark. And only my critical duties kept me from ignoring the rest of the brunch and loading up on the glorious smoked sable. This fish combines a silky, mouth-pleasing texture with subtle, smoky flavor. Amateurs may find it hard to walk past the platters of bread, fruit and cheeses, but brunch veterans know these are not how you want to fill up precious belly room. Even pros have their weaknesses, though. I confess that I couldn't resist nibbling on the outstanding Brie torta, seasoned with pine nuts and thyme. I usually pass up salads for the same reasons of space, but some of the offerings are definitely worth a stop. You'll immediately notice that nothing here is glopped with mayonnaise, a dreaded Midwestern brunch touch that happily hasn't made its way to Catalonia. In fact, most of the cold platters have a distinctive Mediterranean accent.
I admired the couscous studded with grilled eggplant and squash. The chicken salad with almonds and red peppers is worth a corner of your plate. So is the pork tenderloin stuffed with dried fruit. And what a pleasure to see endive, a European staple rarely encountered in the Valley, here ladled with shrimp. Don't overlook the tapas, which set Marquesa off from all other extravagant Valley resort brunches. Make your way through mushrooms marinated in sherry and garlic, serrano ham, flaky duck empanadas or a thick potato omelet. And how many brunches has Mom been to that have a paella station? Here you can scoop up two different kinds: a seafood paella, with crab, mussels and shrimp; and one featuring Spanish sausage and chicken. Try to time your paella visit right, though, just after the earthenware bowls have been restocked. People have a habit of wandering by and plucking out all the goodies, leaving only the rice. Of course, traditionalists can order up omelets or go for the pasta. The ravioli, stuffed with shrimp and coated in zippy, roasted garlic cream sauce, will reward a detour.
Marquesa's hot entrees don't sit in Sterno-fired chafing trays, decaying in quality by the minute. Instead, they're grilled to order. The meats are scrumptious. The New York steak, pork tenderloin, lamb chops and duck breast are good enough to be served at dinner. And you can slather them with two wonderful sauces: charred tomato or a pungent, red-pepper cream. A routine, mixed-vegetable medley and smoked almond potatoes provide relatively lackluster accompaniment. The only problem with desserts is that management won't let you pack up a box of them so you can indulge the next time hunger strikes--probably Tuesday. The chocolate marsala bombe with white-chocolate lacing will put a heavy exclamation mark on the meal. So will the white-chocolate cheesecake and crumbly nectarine pie. Marginally lighter, but no less intense, are the roasted banana hazelnut tiramisu and fragrant orange flan. Or you might try the same sneaky maneuver I did with the chocolate and white-chocolate truffles. One bite induced such a chocoholic swoon that I was driven to the margins of brunch ethics. I surreptitiously wrapped two in a napkin and stuffed them in my wife's purse.
I wonder if Bonnie and Clyde got their start at brunch. Latilla Room, Boulders resort, 34631 North Tom Darlington Drive, Carefree, 488-9009. Sunday brunch: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

You may have a hard time dragging Mom away from brunch at the Boulders. The resort is breathtaking, and so is most of the food. The Latilla Room is round, encircling a huge tree trunk in the center. Overhead, thick, wooden beams radiate out spider-web style, filled in with thinner branches called latillas. A wall of windows overlooks massive boulders and the manmade waterfall coursing over them. Southwestern weavings, original art and fresh flowers give the cream-colored interior a soothing look.
If Mom wants to enjoy the view with a glass of champagne, she'll have to order it off the wine list--the prices range from $18 for a bottle of Domaine Ste. Michelle Brut to $138 for Krug's Grande Cuv'e. But the brunch here is good enough to produce a natural, nonalcoholic high. Unlike many Valley-resort Sunday brunches, Latilla's won't overwhelm patrons with the sheer number of pickings. Take the seafood section, my first stop. Drop your line in here, and you'll hook only a few items--smoked salmon, shrimp, oysters. But who cares about quantity in the midst of this kind of quality? These big, firm, meaty shrimp are worth loading up on. And the first-rate Puget Sound oysters taste like they've just been pulled up from the sea. The cold salad area also makes up in depth what it lacks in sweep. The bean-and-beef platter shouldn't detain you long. But the Portobello mushrooms dotted with blackened sesame seeds are an uncomplicated delight. So is the refreshing mix of barley and tomato.
But don't fill up. Latilla's best work is yet to come. Brunch offers two sites to attack the hot entrees. The first is the outdoor mesquite grill, under a canopy of boulders just outside a side door. The fare dished out here is good enough to keep brunchers perpetually in line. On this Sunday, the hardworking cook offered three superb choices. Homemade Polish sausages came packed with flavor, accompanied by a medley of white and black beans. Juicy, marinated chicken breast got smothered by caramelized onions and a thick fruit chutney. Best of all was the heavenly, moist Chilean sea bass, sparingly rubbed with achiote, an earthy Mexican spice. Why don't more Valley brunches grill their fish, instead of drying them out in metal chafing dishes? Latilla's hot-main-dish area is also a crowd-pleaser. The steaming, right-out-of-the-oven pizza, brushed with pesto and topped with sun-dried tomatoes, eggplant and sausage, is irresistible. So is the kitchen's take on eggs Benedict. Here, a poached egg is served on cheese biscuits, with thin strips of vegetables instead of Canadian bacon under the hollandaise. Roast breast of turkey isn't exactly a gourmet treat, but it might seem so after you pile on some wonderful, sausage-studded corn-bread dressing. Other side dishes are equally compelling: sweet-potato hash, anointed with tart, Granny Smith apple slices and maple syrup, and a stir-fry of green beans, carrots and pearl onions. The only entree mediocrity was the smoked strip loin of beef. Too bad. I loved the deep, smoky aroma, and enjoyed the two-fisted cabernet sauce and polenta topping. But the meat itself was chewy, a cut below prime quality. I've heard the Boulders has a new pastry chef. If I were management, I'd sign him or her to a long-term contract. These desserts are topnotch. Brunch ethics or not, only my wife's too-small purse prevented me from sneaking out with an extra piece of the exquisitely rich chocolate hazelnut cake. The light tiramisu packs a real coffee punch. The cream-cheese-frosted carrot cake takes this brunch staple to a new level. And the small blackberry mascarpone bars are quite a nifty idea. And if you'd like to end the meal with a touch of elegance, stop by the crepe station and get a flaming, fruit-filled, Grand Marnier-soaked treat. The Latilla brunch closes down for the season after Mother's Day, so you'll need to move swiftly if you want to impress Mom. After all, flowers fade, but the memory of brunch will linger on.

Nigeria's Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo Udoma, has denied that
the Nigerian Government intends to raise taxes and will instead focus on compliance.
Responding to lawmakers' comments in the National Assembly, Udoma confirmed
that "there is no increase in value-added tax, there is no increase in
corporate income tax, there is no increase at all in taxes, but people who are
not paying taxes must be made to pay. So the idea is to increase revenue by
broadening the tax base, not by increasing taxes."
In August last year, the National Tax Policy Review Committee pointed out that
only 10m of Nigeria's total population of 180m pays tax and the country has
one of the lowest tax-to-gross domestic product ratios in the world at just
six percent. With the Government still largely dependent on revenues from oil,
which make up about 60 percent of overall revenues, the Committee urged the
development of measures to expand the tax base as a priority.
The Government is trying to extend the scope of corporate and personal income
taxes. As an example, since last year, Nigeria's Federal Inland Revenue Service,
working in collaboration with the State Boards of Internal Revenue, has been
running a nationwide campaign to substantially increase the numbers of both
corporate and individual taxpayers.

While the nation's students are growing more diverse, the make-up of teachers in public school classrooms is lagging behind.
Right now, 82 percent of public school teachers in this country are white. That's despite the fact that nearly half their students are minorities. Last week, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan projected that this Fall's class of public school students will — for the first time in U.S. history —be mostly non white.
For more on what's behind this disparity and the effect it has on the classroom, we turn to Segun Eubanks, director of teacher quality at the National Education Association. The organization is releasing a new report called "Time for a Change: Diversity in Teaching Revisited."

Many of those problems are now gone). I've read that you could get around 0.2 ms and even below (worst case) with the last kernels + RT preempt (that is you still use linux, and not rtlinux). Below 1 ms does not make much sense for audio applications, so I don't know much below this range :) But I am really curious if you can get those numbers with python, because of malloc, the gc and co. I mean for example, 0.5 ms latency for a 1 Ghz CPU means that you get something like a 500 000 CPU cycles, and I can imagine a cycle of garbage collection taking that many cycles, without even considering pages of virtual memory which are swapped (in this case, we are talking millions of cycles). cheers, David

Enter keywords or a search phrase below:
My old school buddy joined this unit of the USAF in 1952 and worked initially out of Langley in 1953 or so. Later, with this unit over in Southeast Asia, he flew the B-26 bombers. When he first told me this, I thought he was referring to the old B-26 Martin Marauders, but what he flew were the A-26 Douglas fighter-bombers with the by-then newer "B" designation. He retired from the AF in the early 70's, then became a career pilot with UAL. He now lives in total retirement in Dayton, UT. I have his email address.
Well...at least I had the 405th part right. Turns out he flew F-100's while he was based at Langley in the 405th, but didn't get into the A-26 when he began with them out of Hurlburt AFB in Florida some years later.
Sorry about that...
I have found info about this unit....the 405th was a B-25 Mitchell squadron for all of WWII. They were supplied with their first A-26 Invaders in January 1946. They flew from the following bases in WWII:
First overseas base--Breddan, Australia, August 1942...they had B-25Cs and -Ds, the first B-25s to be stationed overseas.
Some forward-staging took place, but next "permanent" base seems to have been Durand Airfield, near Port Moresby. They moved there in November 1942 and stayed there for about 15 months. Next move was in March 1944, to Nazdab Airfield New Guinea, and they stayed there until 1 October, 1944. During this time, they traded in their -C and -D model B-25s for new -J models. Nest stop was Pitoe Airfield, in Indonesia, where they stayed until late January 1945--at that time they moved to Lingayan Airfield, on Luzon. Half of the 38th BG's bombers and aircrew were sent forward to Puerta Princesa Airfield, Palawan, in June 1945 and attached to the 42nd BG, 13th AF. These planes and crews were later returned to Lingayan within a few weeks. I did not find info on the breakdown of the planes sent, so it is possible that 405th planes and crews were part of the mix. In mid-July the 38th made preparations to move to Yontan Airfield, Okinawa. This was the last base the 38th flew from during WWII.
The 405th was actually changed to a non-flying unit in 1946, and then reverted back to BS designation in 1947, supplied with B-26C Invaders and TB-25 Mitchells. The entire 38th BW was inactivated in 1949, and reactivated in January 1953, with the 405th having the same dates and events. In April 1955, they traded in the Invaders for B-57 Canberras.
The 5th Air Force was based in the Pacific and was not part of the European theater. My dad was in the 5th AF, on B-25's, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Leyte Gulf, etc.

In September 1946 the group moved to Itami, Japan. The 405th BS was reduced to a paper squadron without aircraft or personnel, then relocated at Itazuke between 1 January and 1 May 1947 to be a basic military training unit, after which it returned to Itami as a non-flying labor unit until the establishment of the USAF.
The 38th Tactical Bombing Wing (38th TBW) was reactivated as part of the USAF in Europe on January 1, 1953, being assigned toLaon-Couvron Air Base, France. Upon activation, the wing absorbed the assets of the Air National Guard 126th Bomb Wing, which was inactivated and returned to the control of theIllinois Air National Guard. The 38th's squadrons were designated the 71st, 405th, and 822nd Bomb Squadrons. The wing flew the B-26 Invader until 1955, when they were re-equipped with B-57s, and the B-26's were returned to CONUS (Continental United States).
In 1958, French President Charles De Gaulle announced that all NATO nuclear weapons and delivery aircraft had to be removed from French soil by July 1958. Since the parent wing was nuclear capable by NATO policy, it was ordered to depart France. The 38th BG was inactivated at Laon on 8 December 1957 and its three squadrons assigned directly to the wing while aircraft and personnel were transferred to other units. The wing then moved on 18 June 1958 to Hahn Air Base, Germany, where it was redesignated a tactical missile wing using theTM-61 Matador Missile...
This is the only picture of 405th BS B-26s I've been able to find after about a half-hour search...
Great find on the photo. Here is some more info. The dark tails with white letters might be from when the 38th Bomb Group, under the 38th Bomb Wing, was at Itami AB in Japan.
I believe that the 38th Bomb Group absorbed some of the personnel and all of the equipment of the 319th BG as both were at different airfields in Okinawa, when the 319th returned home in Nov, 45. The post war 38th BG had used similar markings to the 319th BG, blue tails with a white number for the 319th and a colored tails with a white letter for the 38th. Sources list the 71st, 495th and 89th (from the 3rd BG) Bomb Squadrons as being part of the 38th BG active at least from 47 to 49. But the USAF in post-war Japan was severely under-equippd and I would not be surprised if it really had only two active squadrons. The 3rd BG/BW was in the same boat and started the Korean War with only two squadrons.
Here is another photo of the 38th BW over Japan.
If you have the old Koku-Fan Illustrated #41, US Forces Japan & Fifth Air Force 1945-88, published in 1988, the above photo is on page 27 and another better shot of a tail is on page 24. But they are mislabeled as belonging to the 3rd BG. I had discussions with the author and the brother of the person who provided the photo on page 27 and they said that it was the 38th BW that painted the tails.
The 126th BW had colored tail bands. So I don't think that the dark tails are while active in USAFE. See link to wiki:

Now I've heard that before, from a movie wasn't it? Thing is, I've sort of ignored pop music since I left school in 1979. I liked Michael Jackson though. Don't have a clue about what's going on now with western pop music, apart from Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga, They're huge in China especially at KTVs(karaoke bars).
I wasn't aware that Mr Costello had passed away.?
Who? What? When? How? "why didn't someone tell me about this."

Yes, its from The Bodyguard.
It is a shame that she went down a path of destruction. May she rest in peace and I hope the vultures of the media world will leave her daughter alone.

Such shame . I agree with several of the other post , Bobby Brown was the beginning of the end for her . OH, what a beautiful voice she had .

Unlike the news programs, that dedicated half their shows to talking about her, I thought the Grammy's were very tastefully done when it came to remembering her. I wasn't sure what they would do as a tribute, but I don't think they could have made a better choice of performer to sing it (Jennifer Hudson).

Redshirt freshman offensive tackle Bryan Chamberlain went from small town star to a scout teamer and now finds himself a possible starter in less than a two-year span. Chamberlain went into camp as the backup left tackle and after nearly beating out incumbent Ray Beno for the job, Chamberlain may end up starting by default due to a leg injury to starting right tackle Morgan Bailey.
Bailey's status for Virginia Tech remains unclear and this week Beno move from left tackle to right tackle to work with Tyler Kidney leaving a clear door open for Chamberlain's first game as a Yellow Jacket to be a start in Blacksburg against the Hokies.
"It has been different and I am trying to work my way up and help the offense as much as I can," Chamberlain said on Monday. "I just want to do what I can to help make the team better. No one practices to be number two and the goal is to start, but like I told Ray Beno on Monday. I am here with him not against him. I know Coach Johnson will make the right decision."
Before Bailey's injury and Beno's move, Chamberlain said the battle was very close for the left tackle job
"I know Ray is feeling the pressure and we are both grinding. I know me pushing for a starting job is pushing him to be a better starter and whoever gets the snap in the game is going to do their thing," he said.
Like most of his fellow 2011 signees, Chamberlain rode the pine last year and stayed home when the varsity team traveled for road games. Going through not playing proved to be a huge motivating factor for Chamberlain and has helped drive his climb up the depth chart.
"It is exciting and after your redshirt year and after being a quote unquote superstar in high school it is humbling and reality hits you when you redshirt. You take that to motivate yourself. I put things together from helping out some and watching film and then used all that information to get better for this year," he said.
Offensive line coach Mike Sewak says he has been pleased with Chamberlain, as has Coach Johnson. Chamberlain says the remaining time between now and Labor Day will be used to get himself ready and correct his mistakes.
"Watching film from last spring I have come a long way and even through all of fall camp this year. Coach Sewak always has me looking at film at my mistakes from freshman year up through now. I use what I used to do last spring to make me better now and right my wrongs," he said.
Chamberlain's ascent up the depth chart has been one of the biggest surprises of the season thus far for the Jackets.

Airplane Over Harvest Moon at 1680mm
Airplane Over Harvest Moon at 1680mm
I decided that, with a clear sky, I was going to stack a pair of extenders to the back of my Canon EF 600mm f/4 L IS II USM Lens and capture the "Harvest Moon" (the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox).
Stacking a Canon EF 1.4x Extender with a Canon EF 2x Extender requires a 12mm extension tube to be mounted between the two – to make the fit possible. The result is 600mm x 2 x 1.4 = 1680mm = Wow!
While you should not expect amazing image quality from this setup, the tight angle of view delivered by 1680mm is quite amazing. So tight that tracking the moon through the frame is a constant task. And, avoiding vibrations is a challenge. I opted to use mirror lockup with the 10 second self-timer to make sure that the camera fully settled down before the shutter release.
I was trying different exposure settings and verifying the results on the LCD. During one such check, I saw a black spot on the moon. My first thought was that I had a piece of dust on my sensor. Zooming in revealed otherwise.
I live well over an hour from the nearest large airport. The sky was black and I had no idea that there were any airplanes in the area. Using the 10 second timer, with the narrow angle of view, meant that I was predicting where the moon would be in the frame at shutter release. Not only did the airplane happen to cross the moon at the exact time of the shutter release,, it happened to be in a perfect location over the moon. The timing was divine.
This image is an un-touched and uncropped (but reduced in size of course) conversion of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III RAW file. Photography is so fun.

Suspected hash-oil explosion in Manitou Springs apartment leads to 2 arrests
MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. — Police said they suspect hash oil manufacturing is the cause of an early morning explosion at an apartment complex in Manitou Springs Friday.
According to Colorado Springs' Gazette, the explosion, which occurred at about 4:30 a.m. Friday at 337 Pilot Knob Ave. in Maritou Springs, resulted in two arrests.
Manitou Springs police said they arrested Audrey Horowitz, 23, and Michael Austin, 18, on suspicion of first-degree arson, reckless endangerment and child abuse in connection to the incident — according to police, Horowitz's 3-year-old daughter was in the apartment at the time of the explosion.
All three escaped the apartment unharmed, said police.
Officer said the windows of the apartment were blown out and they discovered evidence of hash oil manufacturing inside the residence.
Horowitz and Austin are being held at the El Paso County jail.

We look at industry sentiment around the world and explore the main contrasts in results between different regions.
Clear regional differences emerge in the extent of energy transformation. The strongest expectations of transformation among survey participants are in Europe, North America and South America where, on average, survey respondents predict 60–70% transformation by 2030. In the Asia Pacific and Middle East and Africa regions, the average expectation is for 50–60% transformation by 2030.
Across all regions, 70 per cent expect significant or very significant market model change by 2030. A further 22 per cent anticipate medium change. Less than one in twelve think there will be little or no change. The global figures mask significant regional differences with the expectation of change most intense in Europe and North America where 91 per cent and 86 per cent predict major change. There is less consensus about the extent of market change elsewhere although a clear majority (59%) in the Asia Pacific region and nearly half (46%) in the Middle East and Africa share the viewpoint of their peers in Europe and North America.
The area where there were significant regional differences was whether current business models might survive or, at the opposite extreme, whether
they were already broken. None of the respondents in South America, for example, agreed with this pessimistic view of current business models whereas it did win support from 43 per cent of North American and 35 per cent of European survey participants.
While there is a significant global consensus that current power sector business models are not sustainable, there is less unanimity about the
urgency of change and, indeed, there remains significant support in some parts for the view that current business models may still remain viable. Whether this is the case or not will depend on the regulatory and market models in place to support the continuing viability of current business models.
Take a deep dive
For more details on the regional results on future trends, risks and strategies please review our regional data.

Here are the ones that have worked for me:
.22 LR: great for plinking, informal target shooting, small edible game, such as squirrels.
.38 Spl/.357 Magnum: The .38 Special loaded with 148 gr. Wadcutters in a mild target load for larger edible game, such as the big swamp rabbits (canecutters). Magnum loading for distant shots at crows, small varmints.
.44 Magnum: for medium game (deer) and long shots at groundhog, etc.
.45 Colt: Never got to use this on some big heavy game. Once contemplated taking buffalo, but never came to pass. Had a good 350 gr. load for one, though.

Hhhmm well about 3 years ago I sold off all my handguns that were not chamberd in 22lr 45acp or 41 mag. Not because other calibers were not effective but beacuse it made buying ammo much easier and those 3 will do anything I need done with a handgun.

"what cartridges have you become disenchanted with over the years ??? "
38 spl - would not shoot it at all if not for J-frames, but they feel great, shoot very accurately.
.357 Mag - can't explain it, have got to the point where it has become preferable to shoot 44 Mag.
9mm - has become just like 22 LR, just plain boring, and there aren't any exciting 9mm handguns out there anymore, and the ones I really like (ie CZ 75, Beretta 92, HK P2000, Walther P99) I can't shoot accurately.

Not disenchanted, but I don't shoot .45 ACP much at all anymore: can't afford to. 9mm is so much cheaper.
I REALLY wanted a .260 Remington rifle for awhile ..... but got a 7-08 because the price was right. Now could care less about the .260.....

I really like the 32 H&R. Probably the largest caliber that is fun to shoot in an airweight J frame. And I shoot it far more accurately than 38. The only drawback, IMO is the dearth of factory ammunition. I carry a 432 from time to time, and it's easier for me to find 32 S&W Long than it is to find a box of 32 H&R hollow points. And when I do, it's better than a dollar.
My only reason for any level of "disillusion" is that everyone else was disillusioned.

For me its the .22wmr, i used to love this cartridge, for more then 1 year a cz455 in .22wmr was my nr. 1 gun but with ammo prices going higher and higher i just felt like selling the rifle one day, and i did. It wasnt only the insane ammo prices, i just stopped liking this cartridge...
Now its .22lr, .223rem and .308win all day long (kind of boring right but they are the best)....

I agree with Mike. All are unique in a certain way. That is the fun of reloading!
10mm and 357sig, the best things to come along since the 38 super!

Interesting thread with lots of angles I hadn't thought of. For me, however, it came down to simple economics. Back in the day, I had a diversity of different calibers (much more disposable income available at the time) and today I have narrowed my collection of firearms down to just specific models that correspond to said ammo. So it's not that I became "disenchanted" per se due to poor performance but solely to practicality.

.38 and .40 sorta
I used to load and shoot .38 spl in my mag revolvers, and the Marlin Carbine too, but no longer. Just more brass to have around the place. The only .38 I shoot now is thru the M36, which is my only .38, and I don't shoot it all that much. If I want mild loads in the others, I simply download mag cases.
I've never loaded a single ctg in .40 S&W, though I've owned a HiPower so chambered for about 10 yrs. My supply of factory .40 is about done, so that may change. I've got a fair amount of brass and slugs about the place, but again, not shot the pistol that much.

I gave up on .45 auto, .40 S&W, 10mm auto, 38 super auto. Mostly because the considerably higher ammunition cost does not buy much more "bang for my buck", punn intended.
I pretty much stick with 9mm, .357 mag, .44 mag, 45 LC.

I haven't giving up on any cartridge, instead I've grown to start appreciating the 9mm more. Way back when I first started shooting handguns and reloading for them, it was the 44 mag and 45acp. It was a macho thing, I guess. Loved the recoil, the muzzle blast the whole nine yards. I was even disapointed with my first 357, didn't kick like the 44 mag did. I've since matured a little and now own handguns in about every caliber. And while I've always owned a 9mm or two, I just never thought they could hold a candle to the bigger 40+ caliber guns. And while I almost always carry concealed a 45, I've been known to slip on a 9mm and even a 380 LCP. At the range I'm shooting almost as much 9mm as 45. I still shoot some 44 specials in my carry revolvers, but the super redwawk rarely gets out to the range anymore. I've finally come to appreciate the 9mm for the cartridge it is.

I think the "awakening" so to speak of more and more shooters to the 9mm in terms of overall practicality is now more evident than ever. Always has been the case in Europe but in the U.S. it has taken a while not necessarily to sell but to achieve the "respect" it had been lacking for a some-time now (maybe climaxing with the heavily criticized Miami FBI/Bank Robber shootout which resulted in revolutionary changes to its very core load designs).
Personally it suits my taste in several respects 1) price for such a practical caliber 2) pistol/carbine compatibility of which I utilize in my planning 3) Incredible advancements in ammo design IMO culminating, for example, in Hornady's Critical Duty line of ammo specifically designed to meet or exceed all of the mandated FBI ballistic testing.
YMMV but I say if you have been on the fence with respect to the 9mm, reconsider by doing some contemporary research as things have changed perhaps since the last time you took a gander...

Disenchanted with : .22LR and .38Spl. Shot .38 a whole lot in the '70s for Police Practical, then again many years later for CAS. But I found that with steel targets, spotters sometimes listen for the ping instead of watching for the dirt and I would get misses that I thought were unfair. Reloading cost difference with .45LC is not that great and a nice 200 or 250gr. bullet will give a much more satisfying and hearable sound off a steel.
Favorites: .45LC and .45ACP. Also like .22WMR in place of .22LR if I am buying ready-made fun ammo. The .22LR is for when the grandkids visit.

9mm and 22 Mag. A couple of my buds had 9mm's back in the day, one a BHP and the other a 5906. I was liking them very much and always thought that I'd buy a BHP for myself. As soon as I bought my 45 ACP I forgot all about the 9mm.
My first rifle was a 9422M and I had so much fun with that rifle that I once thought I would have a collection based on them. I was the king of all my shootin buds who had 22 LR's and I was the one with a Mag. It didn't take long for them to jack up the price of 22 Mag ammo to almost the price of 45 ACP ammo. That disenchanted me a lot.

I don't like the .40 in pocket pistols because of recoil.
My SP101 .357 is much more tolerable and at least as effective.

I feel pretty much the same today about the various calibers that I own handguns for as I did when I first bought them. My interest in a particular caliber has come and gone and come back again. The 38spl and 357 mag are perfect examples of this.
I have never been a fan of the 25 ACP, 380 ACP, or 9mm and have been pretty neutral about the 45 ACP. I like the 40 S&W.
Some have become disenchanted with the big boomers (I define as 41 mag up). I would have to say that my interest in shooting them comes and goes. But I don't get rid of the guns and I will often shift interest and begin shooting them again. The 41 mag is in fact my favorite big boomer.
Never wanted to shoot rifle calibers in a handgun. But if I owned a Contender, it would be in 30-30 win.

I've pretty wel lost interest in the 45 auto. I carried and shot them years ago, but ho-hum performance on game with ball ammo (contrary to popular belief), and the general higher level of utility of revolvers as field guns has me pretty apathetic about 45 autos for any purpose. That I generally shoot revolvers, both SA and DA, better than the 1911 has some bearing as well.
I never became a huge fan of the 357. Once I got shooting much, I liked larger calibers better, especially the difference in muzzle blast between the 357 and larger calibers, and the end result performance. It took less velocity and muzzle blast to get decent results on game with larger calibers like the 44 spl, 44 mag (with medium loads mostly) and 45 Colt than it did with the 357. I think it's a fine cartridge, I just dont care for the muzzle blast aspect.

For me...
- .22 LR. I own one a rifle for practical reasons (pest control? I don't know). I probably haven't fired it in 3 or 4 years. Handgun wise? I'd rather fire 50 center fire cartridges than 500 .22 LR...teaches you trigger control, but teaches you nothing about recoil managment. Boring to shoot.
- .380. Not very powerful, small powder charges, cases can be crushed easily my press, etc. Dropped this one completely. I like .38 Special better, or 9mm in a heavier gun.
-.40 S&W. I load this one for a G20 with a conversion barrel because the brass is cheap, but it can't do anything the 10mm won't do the same or better. If it disappeared tomorrow I wouldn't care. This cartridge exists only because of it's short case dimensions.
- .45 ACP. It's cheaper for me to buy 10mm projectiles than .45 and there is no difference in power. I load it for an antique revolver, which I like better than the cartridge, sometimes as .45 auto rim. I rarely shoot this one.
- .45 Colt. I load this for a friend. Dislike this cartridge, doesn't work well at standard pressures, unless I'm using heavy bullets with fast burning powder. I'm not a fan of the grip of the single action army, either. I'd rather just stick with .44 special/.44 magnum. I might fire 50 cartridges a year.
Ones that I really love...
- .38 Super/.38 Super comp. Great power and versatilliy. Same cost to load as 9mm.
- 10mm Auto. Again very versatile and provides magnum power from an automatic.
- .357 magnum/.38 special. Cheap to reload in my revolvers, fun to shoot.
- .44 magnum/.44 special. Excellent in lever action carbines or revolvers.
Indifferent to, but shoot a lot of...
-9mm. I shoot a lot of it, because it's cheap to load and chambered in a lot of different weapons. If I could get the same pistols in .38 super with a slightly longer grip, then that would be my choice.

The 30 and 32 calibers just don't do anything for me. The 22LR/22Mag or the 38/357 cover anything that I would use either of those calibers for. I tried them but they ended up just laying around.

327 Federal. Really thought I wanted one, and in something very small, and light like maybe a beefed up Ruger LCR. Just seems that it is a cartridge that never really caught on. I doubt if anyone will develop anything new for it.

^^^I don't think Vespasian meant he is disenchanted with the .380acp.
Just anything 'larger' then the .380acp.
For me, even though the .380 has come a long way over the years, so has the 9mm. Given the fact of the ridiculous price's they're getting for .380 SD ammo versus 9mm SD ammo, and that there are some very concealable 9mm pistols that are very close to .380 pistol dimension's, it amazes me we've seen the .380 craze we've seen in the last 3-4yrs.
Course, some of these very small 9mm's have just recently been produced in the last couple years.

France has a long history of giving America gifts, from the Statue of Liberty to the Tricolore flag our presidents have traditionally used to hide under during scary movies. Accept their latest gift: this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $10 for $20 worth of lunch on Tuesday–Friday
- $10 for $20 worth of lunch on Saturday or Sunday
- $249 for a two-hour crêpe cart rental for up to 20 people (a $550 value)

The menu includes ham-and-swiss parisien salads with organic greens ($7.95), nicois sandwiches with tuna, tomato, and cucumber ($7.75), and brie sandwiches ($6.95). During two-hour crêpe-cart rentals, staffers create sweet crepes on a cast-iron griddle, such as lemon-sugar and banana-nutella.

La Petite France
Alexandra and Romeo fell in love in France over cups of flour and sugar as Romeo completed his professional boulanger and patissier training. Today, the couple recreates quintessential French flavors in their West Hartford bakery-café, where the menu kicks off with breakfasts of pain au chocolat and almond croissants. For lunch, chefs build sandwiches such as Le Brie with cheese and butter, and the Eiffel, whose roasted chicken breast, carrots, and cucumber stands 324 meters tall. Desserts such as macarons and chocolate-hazelnut mousse cake pair with a cappuccino or café au lait to round out each meal.
La Petite France also rolls out its portable crepe cart to special events throughout the area, where French-speaking chefs (upon request) whip up sweet or savory crepes for parties of 20 or more.

The grass is definitely greener on the Queensland side of the border and particularly at Suncorp Stadium now the new turf has been laid.
Sport Minister Phil Reeves said the green carpet has been rolled out in time for the upcoming Queensland Reds Super 15 semi-final against the Auckland Blues on 2 July, and Darren Lockyer's final State of Origin match on 6 July.
"Stadium management made the decision to replace the playing surface following the summer of disaster, and preparations began shortly after the Broncos v Dragons match on 17 June," Mr Reeves said.
"A rare window of opportunity presented itself, providing grounds staff with ample time to get the new turf ready for the Reds and Maroons.
"Auckland and the New South Wales Origin team should be wary. This is our secret weapon which will hopefully see the Reds score a place in the final, and our Queensland boys get over the line and secure their sixth straight series win.
"We want to make sure our teams have every possible advantage to send their opponents packing, green with envy.
"The new playing surface will hopefully help turf out Auckland and the cockroaches."
Mr Reeves said the summer of disaster certainly left its mark on Suncorp Stadium.
"I'm sure many Queenslanders remember seeing those images of the venue looking more like a pool than a footy stadium," he said.
"The field was monitored very closely, and the turf held up really well. However, managing the silt residue has been an issue and we found it necessary to lay down new grass especially as Suncorp will potentially host six games over seven days in July.
"Mal Caddies and his team have worked tirelessly to keep the surface in top nick for all the Stadium's hirers.
"Stadium management continues to work with the venue's insurers regarding the replacement of damaged facilities. This process is ongoing and will continue until restoration works have been completed."
Suncorp Stadium General Manager Alan Graham said replacing the field of play is part and parcel of operating a major stadium.
"We've seen some great results at Suncorp so far in 2011 and there should be plenty more with a strong calendar of events for the rest of the season," Mr Graham said.
"The grounds team has done a fantastic job laying the new surface, the field will have had more than a week to bed down before the Reds match on Saturday, and we'll hopefully be hosting the Reds Super 15 Final on July 9."

Riverside can't seem to get its fill of pizza or burgers.
Resident Gary Romano, 41, owns three Romano's restaurants, an homage to his Chicago-Italian heritage.
On Monday, Jan. 21, he launched a pizza parlor in the Canyon Crest Towne Centre behind the first Romano's he opened 14 years ago. His newest venture, the 1,200-square-feet store at 5225 Canyon Crest Drive, Suite 92, is called Canyon "Crust."
It offers 10-inch pizzas, including whole wheat and gluten-free; salads and Panini. Romano describes the shrimp scampi, lemon pesto and Thai chicken pizzas as "more eclectic" than the fare served at Romano's. However, he said the prices are comparable, averaging about $10 a meal. Canyon "Crust" seats 24 inside and 20 on the patio, serves beer, wine and 106 soda choices from a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine.
Next month "Crust" will begin making home deliveries for Romano's, the owner said.
The expansion will continue in early March, when Romano will open Gary's Gourmet Burgers. It will be in the vacant, 3,000-square-foot space adjacent to Canyon "Crust," a former Pick Up Stix. The fare will be patties (beef, turkey and vegetarian) and several kinds of fries. He'll offer the Big G, a half pounder for $6.50 and the Little G, 5 ounces for $4.95 with a choice of toppings and three kinds of buns.
Romano's family moved from the Windy City to Riverside when he was 15. After graduating from Poly High School, he worked in the family's commercial kitchen business before striking out on his own at age 27.
He invested about $50,000 in 1999 to open his eponymous restaurant in the Canyon Crest Towne Centre. In 2002 he launched a second Romano's at the Mission Grove Plaza Shopping Center. Five years ago, he took a giant leap and renovated a 120-year-old, two-story old historical building in downtown Redlands. At 10,000 square feet, it's almost double the size of his two other eateries.
The Redlands Romano's also is his busiest restaurant, especially on weekends, because of its quaint dining room and capacity to accommodate large private parties, he said.
Despite the economy's ups and downs, Romano ascribes his success to his restaurants' neighborhood locations, low prices and menu flexibility.
"I have fun," Romano said. "I'm good at what I do, and I try to get better every day. I think I've developed what people want."
Romano said when he opens Gary's Gourmet Burgers, his entire restaurant staff will hit 200 employees.

I received so many helpful replies to my previous post about paying off debt/buying another house, that I figured I'd ask a few more questions on this board!
So what about life insurance? What do you all do/have?
DH and I bought a term life policy when our first child was born. It's a 20 year policy, and soon we will be 10 years into it. Of course, we don't want to be left without insurance when our kids are still in college/teenagers/etc.
Should we cancel this policy and try to take out another 20 year policy? I'm nervous about the cost, since DH and I are not that young anymore! However, we are non-smokers and are not taking any medications, so I guess that will work in our favor.
Any other advice?
Our term insurance got converted about 10 years into it. It is still a term policy of course, but we will have the option of continuing the coverage after the 20 years is up at a reasonable rate without inquiry into health issues.. Call your insurance company; they should be able to tell you the particulars of your policy.
Thanks. We will call them. Hopefully they won't want to lose our business and will give us a good deal!
Yeah, what she said. When we did the paperwork for our policies on hubby and I, when we hit that 20-year mark we can renew it for 5-10 years at a time for a nominally higher amount (since we'll be 20 years older!). The premiums didn't really skyrocket until about 30-40 years out since we were under/about 30yo when we got our policies. Part of why we went with our company. :)
(If you're curious, 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010, and yes, it's a busy house)
We're in the same boat as lmonter, only we were about 20 when the policies started up. We will probably renew the term policies on DH until he's 45 or so, but it was never meant to be an investment vehicle so we'll probably let most of it lapse when our youngest is a teen. The kids have 529s for college, and there will doubtless be other expenses associated with said college, and that's where our money needs to go. I'll let my own policies lapse once all these kids are old enough to mind themselves until their Dad gets home from work.
But who knows - we might get a great offer to convert to whole-life policies, and decide to do that so that we can leave some kind of estate. Right now, funding college seems like a more pressing parental duty than building an estate.
Well, an insurance guy I know and trust just left me a message saying NOT to extend our 20 year policy because it's not worth it. I'm not sure what he means, since I haven't spoken with him yet. Maybe we are just too old to get a good rate? I'm approaching 40 and DH is in his late 40s.
We still have to call the company that holds our current policy, though.
You can probably find a better rate if you call your current company and just renew at a longer term, but make sure it is enough years to cover any dependent care, education costs, mortgages, etc. You might find a better rate if you get a few different quotes in addition to talking to your current agent. Shopping around never hurts and if anything, you can use your use new quotes to negotiate better rates with your current company if you want to stay with that agent. My husband and I have been married for two years and are now pregnant with our first child :) We currently have a 30 year term policy. We think it is ok but we are planning on talking to our agent about increasing our coverage since we have a little one on the way. I've found a lot of good information online. I've just been doing some research and reading but after talking to our agent I will probably request quotes just to make sure we are getting the most for our money. Anyhow, thank for the post.. it's always nice to get additional information and other peoples opinions! :)

Airbnb belatedly released its 2012 overview today, showing significant growth — and impressive design chops.
The short-term apartment rental service hosts 300,000 listings, more than double the 120,000 it had at the start of 2012. Three million people from 150 different countries have stayed in an Airbnb rental, according to the company.
The website on which Airbnb shows off its growth numbers was equally impressive. It's pretty, yes. But it also features useful infographics and animation synched to the user's scrolling. It is an impressive demonstration of another thing Airbnb accomplished in 2012: redesign most of its pages in ways that remind the user that the company was founded by a designer.
SocialTimes asked Airbnb how they built the annual results page. This is what a spokesman told us:
Our engineers and designers structured the page in a similar way to an animated film. To determine what point of the animation you're at, we use the height of the entire page and then calculate how far you've scrolled (example: if the animation was 100 frames and you had scrolled 20% of the way down the page, you'd be seeing frame 20). If you stop scrolling, you are viewing a single frame of the animation. And our engineers did some magic with the transitions between frames to make everything feel like one seamless, connected experience.
