Cog shop
This is an event that is occasionally brought up in reference to either a very stupid idea or a very stupid person suggesting a very stupid idea. In fact it is probably the definition of a very stupid idea. Very stupid is the name of the game here.
It originates from early Instonian years when Phil and Michael ventured to the top of the N Block for art class. Their very stupid teacher suggested everyone draw a shop of any kind that could sell anything – a very stupid project, and one Michael did not show a lot of enthusiasm for, his design being The Ball Shop, a shop that sold any kind of ball you need for sport. It was the shape of a ball…
Michael: Err… yeah… it's a ball shop…
Stupid teacher: A cog shop?
Michael: No, a ball shop.
Stupid teacher: Cog shop?
Michael: No. BALL shop.
Stupid teacher: Hmm… You should do the cog shop. It could sell all kinds of cogs and be in the shape of a cog!
This stupid teacher years later was demonstrating to boys how careful you need to be with a stanley knife only to then cut half her forearm open. She remains very stupid to this day.

The government plans to increase the 2017 national budget by 15.7 percent, to more than $5 billion – representing an increase over this year's government expenditure of more than $4.3 billion – a government source said yesterday.
According to the Khmer Times source, the 2017 budget will focus on three main sectors – education, health and social welfare and economic development.
While the spokesman for the Council of Ministers, Phay Siphan, was reluctant to reveal the rise in government expenditure for the 2017 national budget, he confirmed an increase in next year's spending for those three areas.
However, he said the figures would be released after this week's cabinet meeting.
"The 2017 budget plan will be discussed during the upcoming cabinet meeting [which will be chaired by Prime Minister Hun Sen] on Friday," he said.
"The increase in government expenditure in next year's budget is possible due to the rise in revenue from our tax and customs and excise duties collection," he told Khmer Times.
"Our three priority sectors in 2017 are education, health and social welfare and economic development," added Mr. Siphan.
He pointed out that funds for government expenditure in the 2017 national budget would come from local revenue arising from direct and indirect taxes, grants from development partners as well as loans from multilateral financial institutions.
The government collected about $1.2 billion in taxes during the first nine months of the year, 20 percent more than the same period last year. In the same time period, the General Department of Customs and Excise collected $1.3 billion, up 16 percent compared with the previous nine months.
For the 2016 national budget, the government approved a 16 percent increase to make it $4.36 billion, from $3.75 billion in 2015. There was a 15.68 percent rise in social spending to $1.21 billion, from slightly more than $1 billion in 2015.
The biggest expenditure was on economic development, which saw a funding increase by 20 percent to about $1.3 billion, from about $1.07 billion in 2015.
Meanwhile, government expenditure in 2016 on defense, security and maintaining public order rose by 16.51 percent to about $711 million, from about $610 million in 2015.
Preap Kol, executive director of Transparency International (Cambodia), agreed that the government prioritizes spending on education, health and social welfare and economic development in next year's national budget.
"These three sectors are a must for the country and they benefit all Cambodians," he said.
However, he also raised concerns about monitoring the use of funds allocated to the various ministries in the national budget.
"The national budget keeps increasing every year, while there is very little monitoring on how well the funds have been utilized in the various sectors," said Mr. Kol.
"Some sectors, like health, for instance, have not made much progress. There are questions to be asked on where the funds have gone and the answers need to be forthcoming for the sake of transparency," he added.
"Of course we do appreciate the increase in government spending in the priority sectors. But what's most important, also, is a mechanism for monitoring the use of funds in a transparent manner – with the participation of all institutions, the public sector, and civil society."
Cambodians for Resource Revenue Transparency (CRRT), a watchdog organization, said recently that information about Cambodia's budget was difficult to access.
"In many countries, a citizen's budget is published by governments to give a non-technical overview of what the budget contains. This process does not exist in Cambodia," said the group in the website.
"The only other way that the public can check up on the Royal Government's budgetary spending is to look at the National Audit Report. However, the reports currently take years to be published, meaning that the funding has long ago been spent. The most recent National Audit Report published was for the 2011 budget. Consequently, scrutiny is difficult," said CRRT.
"At CRRT, we think there is a clear need for greater budget transparency in Cambodia."
Budget for 2017 to Increase by $5 Bil
The government plans to increase the 2017 national budget by 15.7 percent, to more than $5 billion – representing an increase over this year's government expenditure of more than $4.3 billion – a government source said yesterday.

We celebrate the news every year: God became human! The Gospel of John says:
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)
This is hard to understand. Theologians throughout the years have explored what this means. Jesus has two natures: human and divine. Each nature is complete. He is fully God and fully man. Each nature is distinct, and yet Jesus is only one person. (For a summary of these key teachings, see this article at Desiring God.)
The humanity of Jesus is not an obscure theological point. It changes everything. Here are a few reasons why the humanity of Jesus is important.
Jesus Understands
Because Jesus is human, he is able to understand what our lives our like. He experienced life. He knows what it's like to be tired, stressed, happy, lonely, and more.
Before Jesus became human, people could say to God, "You don't know what it's like to be human!" When God became one of us, he not only knew, but he experienced it.
Jesus is able to understand our struggles. Hebrews says:
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:15-16)
Whatever you're going through, Jesus understands. He can even help us when we struggle. "Because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted" (Hebrews 2:18).
Jesus Serves As Our Example
Sometimes we need an example to follow. I know I've been helped by people who are a little farther along than I am. Right now I'm motivated by some older men who have a joy, peace, and maturity in Jesus that's very compelling.
My examples are great, but they're imperfect. Jesus provides the ultimate example of what it's like to be human. Paul says we're being changed into his likeness (2 Corinthians 3:18). John says that we "ought to walk in the same way in which he walked" (1 John 2:6).
Sometimes we lose sight of what God wants us to become. Whenever we forget, we can look to Jesus. God is at work in our lives. He intends to make us more like Jesus: fully alive, enjoying a relationship with our Father, trusting him, and loving and serving others. It's a beautiful picture, and it's what God is creating within everyone who trusts in him.
Jesus Shows Us It's Good to Be Human
I've lost count of the times that I've heard people complain about our humanity. Somehow we've developed the idea that we're souls trapped in a body, and that the physical is bad. I've even heard some say that they expect to become angels later on. Nonsense!
It's a very good thing to be human. God doesn't intend for us to become less human. Instead, he wants to restore our humanity. We will spend eternity as humans in a physical body and a physical world. Not only that, but Jesus will remain fully human and fully God for eternity. It's a great thing to be human!
Jesus Is Able to Save Us
If Jesus had not become human, he could never have died to pay the debt that humanity owed. Hebrews says:
Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. (Hebrews 2:17)
The Bible teaches that, because of sin, our relationship with God was broken. God was rightly and justly angry with us. Propitiation means that Jesus made things right with God so that he is no longer angry with us. Jesus had to become one of us in order to do this.
Because Jesus became human, we can know that Jesus understands what we're going through. We have an example to follow. We can know that our humanity is a good thing. No matter how badly we've sinned against God, we can know that God has done everything we need to make things right.
The humanity of Jesus matters!

Editor's Note: The following article is taken from the Chinese-language "Commentaries on International Affairs." The article does not necessarily reflect the views of CGTN.
China will not yield to any external threat and is ready to counteract US intervention in Hong Kong affairs.
Over the past five months in Hong Kong, what began as peaceful protests rapidly escalated into wide-scale violence. Masked protesters have smashed up private businesses, erected roadblocks to paralyze traffic, set fire to subway stations, and attacked police with bricks, petrol bombs, knives, and even bows and arrows.
In the past three weeks alone, a man was left fighting for his life after he was doused in flammable liquid and set on fire by protesters, and a 70-year-old died after being hit in the head by a brick thrown by a protester. It is into this chaos that the United States has tried to impose itself by passing the so-called Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019.
This legislation undermines Hong Kong's prosperity and stability, interferes with the successful implementation of the "One country, Two systems" principle, and acts as a roadblock to the restoration of peace on the city's streets.
The United States has a history of trying to bend the affairs of Hong Kong to its advantage. In the 30 years from 1984 to 2014, the U.S. Congress proposed more than 60 bills involving Hong Kong. In 2011, WikiLeaks disclosed a message from the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong showing that the United States had repeatedly tried to sway opinions about Hong Kong's affairs and that it had frequently met with local opposition figures.
There's evidence that suggests the U.S. National Endowment for Democracy provided funding in support of the 2014 Occupy Central demonstrations. And as fires burned in the streets of Hong Kong in recent months, politicians in Washington met with people well-known as voices calling for Hong Kong to be split off from China.
In the 22 years since Hong Kong returned to China, with the support of the central government and the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong has successfully resisted external shocks such as the 1997 Asian financial crisis and the 2008 global recession. The city has maintained its prosperity and stability through these storms, and it will weather the challenges Washington throws its way using the Hong Kong legislation that was signed this week.
The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the central government in Beijing will continue to safeguard China's sovereignty and security in the face of Washington's attempts to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs. And the Chinese people remain determined to ensure that Hong Kong can continue to enjoy growing prosperity and opportunity.

Just an FYI... not that I have ever heard this happening but I have proof that it did... my own fault of course!!!
I have the s-belt system on my 1600 dp motor... and the upper pulley spun... the woodruff key split or broke I guess... How it breaks I do not know since it is not under any pressure... it is just a guide. Oh well... the lesson in this is that the generator shaft (pulley end) was mildly bent once I took it out... (again from the original motor that was pieced together). Well long story short I was afraid that I would have to purchase a whole new system.
But good news I called SCAT and they are sending just the upper pulley...YEAH!!! Which of course is much less expensive than buying a complete kit. Good news is the Gen is coming out and an Alternator is going back so good times!!!!
I guess it is true... when things go well it is an experience but when things go bad it is wisdom!!!!
I do not suspect that this will ever happen to anyone else but in case you need the info here it is....
the joys and the sorrows... LOL

Farmers can expand their agroforestry business if they have access to practical science-based knowledge. It enables them to design their own homegrown agroforestry models determining when, where, how and what type of trees to plant on their farms, as opposed to making decisions based on models designed by outsiders.
The Australian Agroforestry Foundation has developed a course for farmers using an innovative model. The Master TreeGrower (MTG) program was developed over 20 years by Rowan Reid, the Foundation's Coordinator.
The course trains farmers through shared experiences and group discussions rather than relying primarily on a teacher – student model. The objective is to ensure the development of forests is driven by the aspirations of the farmer and backed up by the best available scientific knowledge.
Reid says the program does not promote particular species, products or farm management options. It is conducted in a way that reflects the objectives and experience of the local farmer.
The program has been implemented since 1996 in Australia. More than 100 courses have been conducted involving over 2,000 farmers.
The Foundation assessed if the approach used to engage tree-growing farmers in Australia, would also applicable in the developing world. In 2013 the foundation conducted its first course in Kabale, Uganda.
"We see more similarities between farmers in Australia and Africa, than there are differences", said Reid, " We are now exploring Niger and Indonesia".
"Landowners whether big or small are capable of making decisions and can balance between long and short-term objectives especially when they have to balance between different needs and competing priorities. We need to embed our science as input into the discussions, and guide farmers to solve their own problems rather than us trying to provide them with solutions".

Nigerian songstress and Effyzzie Music Group act, Yemi Alade, has come through with the release of another single titled "Oh My Gosh."
The new single comes barely a month after she shared "Elele" produced by Egar Boi.
"Oh My Gosh" was produced by Nigerian record producer, DJ Coublon, co-written by Klem and mixed and mastered by Swaps.
The love-themed single sees the award-winning singer gushing over a love interest in a way that makes the song quite intriguing.
Regarded as one of the most consistent and hardworking female Nigerian acts, Yemi Alade has continued to grow in the industry with little or no scandal attached to her name.
Still riding on the success of her earliest groundbreaking single, "Johnny", the video is currently one of the most viewed in Nigeria with over 93 million views.
In his 2013 review of "Johnny," Nigerian music blogger, Arinze Obikili, said "Johnny might be just what the doctor ordered at this stage in Yemi Alade's career as she puts herself into the highlife realm of music and walks into a whole new fan base."
Currently on her Black Magic World tour with visits to Canada and the U.S., the singer "has decided to treat her fans to this delightful number," a statement made available to this PREMIUM TIMES reporter read.

The second half of the twentieth century was rich in brilliantly creative women painters and sculptors. Tate Modern alone has recently showcased two of the finest in Agnes Martin and Georgia O'Keefe.
In the poem below, and in writing this post, I am hoping to promote a British artist who has gained considerable recognition, but who has yet to achieve the level of acknowledgement she deserves.
Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (great name) was born in Fife in 1912, and she died there in 2004. She was associated with the Newlyn and St Ives groups of artists in Cornwall.
I'm not going to write any other words about her work, except to say that she devoted a substantial part of her career to painting and drawing glaciers.
As usual, digitised photos of paintings are no substitute for the power and beauty of the real thing, but here are two of her images, sandwiching my poem.
Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Discloses the Glacier
As a bird flies, a total experience –
all angles at once
through and all around:
this transparency reveals hidden energy
in each curving, turning, intersecting line.
She meditates on natural sculpture,
incises it
into abstract planes:
crafts cracks and pressures' dynamics
into splintered translucencies.
Light is reflected in fracture –
is frozen –
making evanescent geometry
of the slides and sparkles,
the fragmented mass
and the tracery of prismatic friction.
She wheels and glides, spying turquoise and pink
in each crystal-snubbed glacier snout.
Glacier Surface, 1984
Barns-Graham painted many other subjects and her work moved towards an intense minimalism. The glacier images form a fascinating core.
We associate the word 'glacier' with evidence of climate change. Whether we deal with global warming successfully or not, the glaciers will be back.
"The glacier knocks in the cupboard" is a line from WH Auden's 'As I Walked Out One Evening'.

Ajmone Marsan, Marco and Meo, Michela (2009) Energy Efficient Management of two Cellular Access Networks. In: GreenMetrics 2009 Workshop (GMW), ACM SIGMETRICS / Performance 2009 (ACM SIGMETRICS), 15 June 2009, Seattle, WA, USA.
Download (132Kb) | Preview
In this paper we evaluate the energy saving that can be achieved with the energy-aware cooperative management of the cellular access networks of two operators offering service over the same area. We evaluate the amount of energy that can be saved by using both networks in high traffic conditions, but switching off one of the two during the periods when traffic is so low that the desired quality of service can be obtained with just one network. When one of the two networks is off, its customers are allowed to roam over the one that is on. Several alternatives are studied, as regards the switch-off pattern: the one that balances the switch-off frequencies, the one that balances roaming costs, the one that balances energy savings, and the one that maximizes the amount of saved energy. Our results indicate that a huge amount of energy can be saved, and suggest that, to reduce energy consumption, new cooperative attitudes of the operators should be encouraged with appropriate incentives, or even enforced by regulation authorities.

I had the pleasure of having Frank Family Vineyards 2007 Zinfandel. I can't seem to get this wine out of my head. It has to be the best Zin that I've ever had! The problem is I can't get my hands on another bottle. The wine is not available in Arkansas, and due to shipping laws, "no can do!" I had this wine with a tomato basil garlic brushchetta http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/fresh-tomato-toasts-bruschetta-di-pomodori.html?cm_src=RECIPESEARCH, and an open faced grilled Da Vinci Gouda cheese appetizer. I have to say this was great.
Another two wines that have stayed on my mind are from Long Island. Castello de Borghese Chardonnette and Fleurette, which is a rose` wine.
The wines were just great to sip on, but would pair well with an appetizer or salad. Another wine that stays on my mind is Red Diamond 2007 Merlot. It was just smooth and easy to drink. I find that when evaluating wines, I don't look at price. Sure some wines are of a different tier or class, but it all boils down to if you like it, will it pair well with the food and is it affordable for you. I'm also impressed with the J 2009 Pinot Gris. I will be getting a few bottles to have on hand for the holidays.
Rodney Strong's 2009 Charlotte Home Sauvignon Blanc is one of my favorite white wines to have in my wine cellar. I truly love sparkling wine as you can see on this blog. The Domaine Carneros Brut is still on my mind.
Well, this is just a few wines that I'm in love with right now; I will add more wines to this list this week.

The one-woman show will feature Frances Barber who starred in the Pet Shop Boys' gay-themed musical Closer to Heaven in London in 2001.
Barber will reprise her role as Billie Trix, a gay icon and drug-addicted rock star.
In a statement the Pet Shop Boys said: "When we wrote Closer to Heaven almost 20 years ago, we loved the compelling outrageousness of the character Billie Trix as written by Jonathan and performed by Frances Barber.
"We have all discussed for many years the idea of creating her own one-woman show which would give us the chance to write more songs for her as she looks back on her incredible career. We're thrilled that this show is finally happening."
Writer Jonathan Harvey said: "I can't wait to see Frances Barber inhabit her again as she did so hilariously and so touchingly all those years ago."
The show will feature six songs by the Pet Shop Boys, four of which will be new.
Musik will play at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh from 5 – 24 August.
Tickets are on sale now at https://AssemblyFestival.com

I think the warning the author gives on some of the suggestions for dealing with the horny pig boss that "this is risky business, and it can backfire" applies to any of the types of bosses in Nelson's typology who knowingly treat people unfairly. The exception might be "Ghost Boss" who is indifferent rather than bullying. With the others, while I think the advice is based on sound psychology, challenging the status quo is likely to make things different but not necessarily better, and Nelson has inordinate faith in the power of documenting.
There's often documentation of requirements in my line of work - software - but in my first graduate job at a startup, requirements documents created by my "finger pointer" boss did not stop him from continually moving the goalposts and not the deadline, while branding me as a poor performer because I couldn't follow his way of programming which contradicted everything I'd learned at uni. That startup has since grown and I recently had a chance to work with a well-regarded consulting company who told me that any consultant who survives working for my former employer gets a badge of honour, so it wasn't just my inexperience that prevented me succeeding there.
Therefore I would have liked to see a section on interviewing the interviewer when applying for jobs, spotting red flags about the people you'd be working with and the company cultures that allow bad bosses to thrive. This is in the same vein as self defence classes that include teachings on how to avoid a fight in the first place. There would be space for dealing with this topic, because while there is good advice here, there is also a lot of repetition, especially in the final section which gives advice for every combination of employee type and bad boss. It's the same advice for each boss type, only with slightly different advice for each employee type on how to motivate oneself to follow the plan, since the commonality among bad bosses is they don't know how to motivate their employees properly. I liked the idea of setting up a reward system for yourself the same way you'd reward someone else, but it only needed to be said once. As in a lot of self-help books, the advice here isn't as definitive or comprehensive as its author thinks, but much of it is decent advice on an important topic.
I rate this book three out of four stars.
Buy "Got a Bad Boss? Work that Boss to Get What You Want at Work," on Amazon

The kindhearted owners of a local shop have started giving away hand sanitiser gel to pensioners in an effort to tackle the spread of coronavirus.
Shopkeeper Asiyah Javed, 34, stocked up on hand gel at a Cash and Carry, before Covid-19 had reached Scotland.
See latest coronavirus news and updates
But on 7 March, she and husband Jawad, 35, decided it was time to help out elderly shoppers.
Customers over the age of 65 can pick up a goody bag containing a facemask, antibacterial hand gel and cleaning wipes at Day Today Express, in Stenhousemuir, Falkirk.
Elderly and infirm shoppers can also have the bag delivered to them for free.
The act of generosity is costing the business nearly £2,000, as each bag costs £2 to put together and so far £500 have been delivered.

Another 300 are ready to be collected in the shop.
Mother-of-three Mrs Javed said: "We have given away 500 bags.
"On Saturday I was out, and I met an old woman, she was crying because she had been to the supermarket and there was no hand wash.
"I feel it is not fair on elderly people, some can't get out the house.
"We are delivering 30 packages to a care home where there are 30 people living, and we've got another couple of hundred in the shop.
"Some people are asking for them to be delivered as they're old, or disabled, or don't drive.
"We are just trying to help people who can't get out the house."
She said the gesture had provoked ridicule from some people, adding: "Other shoppers are calling us stupid, and saying 'why are you giving them away for free?'.
"But money is not everything, there will be the opportunity to make money in future."
Mrs Javed said she decided to act after thinking about how her late grandparents would have struggled.

She said: "My grandparents have passed away, but we still think of them when we see all this.
"We spent a lot of time with our grandparents and we feel that if they were alive we wouldn't want them to be struggling."

New York City travel tips? (VR & NVR)
My husband and I are taking a weeklong trip to NYC next month for vacation. We've never been and would love to hear ANY advice you friendly east coast veggies may have for us, such as what to see, what to do, tips on getting around, the best pizza place (for the omni husband), veggie restaurants, type of clothing to bring for mid-November weather or any other tips you care to share. We did get the 48-hour Gray Line tour bus pass mainly for sightseeing. We also booked a 4-hour Sopranos tour (the Mr. is a big fan). We'd also like to see a Broadway show but can't decide between Les Miserables, The Lion King or Phantom of the Opera (little help??) We'll be staying downtown and doing lots of walking!
Thanks in advance. We're soooooo excited! :D
Welcome to NYC! (well almost). :)
It's the greatest city on earth and very veg*n friendly! As for the best pizza place (you're going to hear a lot of answers but...) for non-vegans, Lombardi's is handsdown the best (in Manhattan). (Lombardi's is probably one of the reasons I'm still vegetarian and not completely vegan). You will most likely have to wait in line for a while, but it is worth it. They can probably make you something vegan there, but if not, you should be able to find something for yourself within a few blocks. I'm not sure specifically what kinds of restaurants you want (100% vegan, 100% omni w/ vegan options, etc) So, here are some helpful websites for NY restaurants are:
There are tons more websites and quite a few books too. Let me know if you want specific reviews of certain restaurants and I will be happy to provide you with them. A good rule of thumb, though, if you're ever in serious doubt about a place to eat, go to Burritoville. ;) Gobo and the Candle Cafe are a good choice for omni's. Also, don't be afraid to head out to Brooklyn for some different options.
As for what to wear, I definitely recommend layering. You may want to have a heavier jacket and some sweaters just in case as even with all the bright fluorescent light, it does get a little cold (especially waiting for the bus or the subway at night or early in the morning). However, once it gets even a little cold, some places do blast the heat like crazy so it's a good idea to be able to shed layers. (Make sure to check the weather before you come in the event that we're having some unnatural heatwave or something).
You can bring an umbrella if you want, but usually once it starts raining (or if it's very likely that it will rain), street vendors will be selling umbrellas on the street corners (depending on where you are). Jeans are an acceptable form of dress in most restaurants unless the dresscode is specifically enforced (see citysearch, etc for dresscode if in doubt)--However, I did see someone wearing jean shorts in the "nice" room at Gramercy Tavern once and aside from some dirty looks, no one seemed to care. ;)
As for Broadway shows, I definitely recommend Les Miserables. I've seen it roughly 10 times now (the NYC original as well as the revival, as well as in London). I wasn't a big fan of Phantom personally, but I know quite a few people who were obsessed with it. Other people also love the Lion King. If you can't decide between those three, Wicked's pretty good.
As for random travel tips, don't forget to buy a metrocard! Oh and all taxis are YELLOW -- some have some nice flowers painted on the hood and the roof, but they're still ultimately yellow, do not get into a black (or any other colored one).
If there's anything else you need, just let me know, I'd be happy to help!
I'm excited for you, NY is so amazing.. :)
The only Broadway show I've seen is Stomp, and that I highly recommend, though I've seen Les Miserables off Broadway, and that is very good too. I also second Wicked though only because of secondhand info and the reviews.
Hi there. I'm not from NY but I've seen all three of those shows. Les Mis is good, but long and sad and I think it's a bit slow. Lion King has GREAT costumes and puppetry and sets. It's amazing what they can do. The best pick is Phantom. The music is great and so moving. That would be my choice.
Don't take cabs; use the subway and get a pass (the more trips included the better; you'll probably use a lot of them). A subway map will help, but it's usually not a big deal if you get a little lost. The subway system is pretty intuitive once you've ridden around a little, and there are maps everywhere.
Definitely check out central park, the museum of natural history, the cloisters, and whatever else strikes your fancy. Chinatown is also really cool, as is little italy. Be prepared to walk, and have a great time!
i love the angelica home kitchen in the east village, i go there when ever im in NYC. also i love strand books - if you guys like books shops you should check it out, theyre on broadway. i usually walk or take the subway when im there cos there is so much to see on every corner love it love it love it
I would second Phantom of the Opera. I've never seen it in NYC but in London and the travelling show that came in my area. I love it! I agree that the music is beautiful. I can't wait to go back to the UK next year because we plan on seeing it again. It would be on the top of my things to do in NYC if I ever get a chance to go there.
Even though we only live about an hour or two (via train) from NYC, I have only been 4 times. Once to sight see, once to go to see Beauty & the Beast and twice for work. I highly recommend the Candle Cafe. Their food was amazing plus the joy of having the option to eat anything on the menu is staggering. The chocolate ice 'cream' was absolutely amazing!
I would recommend plotting out what you want to do now. Where you want to go, that sort of thing. Review the subway maps online. Print out what you can so you are familiar with it.
Wear comfortable shoes and layer appropriately for the weather. Most of all, have fun!
I have a restaurant Recommendation!!!
In Manhattan. Moby (the music artist) owns a tea+food cafe.
Its called Teany!
its soooo goood!!!
Here is the website
I just came back from NYC Monday.
I HIGHLY recommend going to both Angelica's Kitchen and Blossom. Soooo delicious! :D
If you aren't locked into a hotel rent an apartment. You can get short term rentals for cheaper and it's comfy. They come with all the conveniences of home and if you need to cook you can. Great for breakfast when your feeling lazy and want to sleep in a little, but your hungry. I've used A Hospitality Company many times. I believe the web site is under the same name.
Have a picnic in Central Park. http://www.centralpark.com/
Get a map of the city+/subway and study it before hand.(Manhattan Block By Block: a street atlas)
Go to street festivals and parades if available.
Get a Metrocard. You can buy them from automated machines inside the stations.
Expand your options beyond Broadway. The NYC Ballet etc. are good options. http://www.nycballet.com/nycb/home/
Don't limit yourself to the city...explore the boroughs.
Take public transit from the airports...way cheaper than a taxi.
Def dress in layers for Nov. and don't forget a light and small umbrella.
how fun! if you do anything while on this trip you have to go to "Quintessence" Its the most delicious flavourful raw vegan food! I went with my brother last night who is visiting, he's an omni, and he said that if he had to live off raw vegan food for the rest of his life, he wouldnt be missing anything :) here is the link, sooooo yummy!!
Definitely get a metro card (it works on the bus and the subway). I saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway a couple of years ago and I love it!!!! Have fun.

Did I mention the pants were sized Medium?
Me - the Coop Keeper in medium pants.
My insides are smiling.
I too am in this same season!! God is so amazing!ReplyDelete
Well I don't think I'm quite this happy, but I'm happy that you are...so happy you could pee! Go get that 'pain' looked at and continue on the happy trail. Tis a good place to be.
Cindy Bee
I am so glad you are in happy mode. It is a good place to be! I've been wanting to get my fall and Halloween stuff out,but it is hard when it is still 101 degrees in the afternoon!
This has been a very difficult beginning of school for me with some changes but no direction from the administrators. Those of us involved are slowly figuring it out for ourselves, but it has been rather stressful for me!
Life IS Good and you know what? We've got it figured out. We aren't homeless, in fact we live in pretty comfy houses with plenty of food in the fridge and we know we will be buying more next week. Lots of folks can't say that. We are blessed. amen. That ovarian cyst thing is the pits, I spent the night in er with mine. After birthing two babies, it was the hardest labor of them all. Go to the doctor!ReplyDelete
My outsides are smiling as I read this! Love your attitude, Love your sky, Love your size med pants!!!
So happy to see you reaping the harvest of ALL your hard work!!!
~down 11.4lbs & my pants are loose! Finished my last sausage this am...gotta make another pile :)
I have a grin on my face and on the inside too for you. So good to know losing weight and eating healthy has given you such a glow that everyone sees it.
Doing a happy dance right here in my chair.
Even with finical security you cant place your happiness there as you will be worried it will vanish in a heartbeat as it CAN in the blink of an eye. We have to put our faith in the lord and trust him in all walks of our life. With him in our mind and heart, that is where true happiness begins and the rest falls into place.
GOD bless your Aaron and hope you get to see him soon. He is like a ray of sunshine on the darkest of days and is medicine for the soul.
I wish you more and more days of contentment and joy. Focus on the little simple things and keep the lord first and the rest, well that is icing on the cake...Sugar and wheat free that is.
Have a blessed and safe coming week.
MEDIUM!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!! (Lots of awesomeness, but...MEDIUM!!!!! YEE HAW!!!!!) Hope that pain stays away!!!!! MEDIUM!!!!!ReplyDelete
I am so happy for you - medium is beyond awesome. Wonderful!!! Lots to be thankful for. And I hope you get to the bottom of your pains soon (my motto is 'maybe it will just go away' - however that's probably not the best advice ;)). -Tammy p.s. our first honey will be extracted any day now. Happy ~honey~ dance!ReplyDelete
I wish I could be as happy as you are. Must be the wheat!
Oh how I love thee and thou.
Good for you, Jayme ...wearing a MEDIUM (even fun to say!) is the first of MANY happy milestones on your healthiness journey, I'm sure!
I'm also sure that Aaron thanks his lucky stars for you too. You guys are a mutual blessing to each other, may it always be so!
Keep the 'happy' Jayme. It looks great on you!
You make me smile. I would have liked to sit on your back porch and sip tea with you while watching that sunset. Divine, sure enough.
I am right there with you! So grateful, focus is on the grace of gifts.. yet I have things that I can be considered problematic.. don't we all? Go pee!ReplyDelete
You make me smile! So happy for you! I love being able to wear mediums too and easily button my size 10 jeans. Such a kick! I'm working on size 9 since I'm at the high end of my weight curve. Your photography is getting better and better! Stay happy!ReplyDelete
You are one hell of a lady and you must have worked hard to find that peacefulness inside of you!ReplyDelete
Ah yeah, the shirt was worth mentioning and thanks for doing so. I didn't think this was one of those "risky" blogs! :)ReplyDelete
That was adorable. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.ReplyDelete
As usual you makes me smile! Thanks!:+) ps those cysts are awful I've had 4 in 3 months..my prayers be with ya!ReplyDelete
De-lurking to say GOOD FOR YOU!!!
I came over a while ago from Flower Patch Farm Girl and have been following your weight loss journey.
Love your positive attitude, your happiness and Life is Good!
I'd be happy just down-sizing to a size large.. WAAAAHHHHReplyDelete
I've said it before....you're my hero! Keep up the good work and stay on the happy trail it suits you to a "medium" ! XOReplyDelete
I feel happier just reading your list! Apparently happiness is contagious.ReplyDelete
I can feel the joy coming from this post. It is the small things that bring the most joy! I'm with you and I'm counting and enjoying every single 1 of my MANY blessings!ReplyDelete
I'm happy you're so happy you could pee!! And get that pain checked out!!!!!!!! Your picture of Aaron is a beautiful portrait. And Mike Holmes? I want him.ReplyDelete
Beautiful blessings, indeed! Take care of you!ReplyDelete
I have those days/moments and the feeling just overwhelms a person. I had one of those just the other morning on my drive to work. Beautiful morning and beautiful day it was shaping up to be...I was thinking of all the good things and then I thought of my late husband and gave him a scolding for missing this...when..all of a sudden in my quiet moment drive, a little recorded voice spoke. My 10yr old granddaughter had recorded a book for me, with her reading each page. It has several times that she says,,Grandma, I love you. And wouldn't you know it at that very moment driving to town...the book, which was closed..spoke to me. So my granddaughters voice spoke and said'Grandma, I Love you and Bye" Well, just hearing her voice was enough to rattle me, but when I leafed through the book to find that page that says that, I couldn't find it. How amazing..but..what timing. I still smile thinking about it! It was Perfect!ReplyDelete
Just reading this post makes me happy! Continued Blessings, Jayme!ReplyDelete

On April 6, a VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis protocol will be released that instructs providers to perform a standardized VTE risk assessment on each adult patient admitted to UNC Hospitals. This risk assessment will link to a menu of appropriate prophylaxis options within our CPOE system.
How it will work:
1. Provider prompted on admission to complete the VTE order set on all Adult Inpatient Active cases.
2. Prompt will be a "soft stop". Can cancel order set and continue placing orders on the patient.
3. Will be prompted with order set every time the Current/Write Orders pathway is accessed in CPOE until a VTE order has been placed.
4. Will get a screen with selection criteria and will only see the orders pertaining to that selection criteria.

The CD4 antigen is involved in the recognition of MHC class II molecules and is a co-receptor for HIV. CD4 is primarily expressed in a subset of T-lymphocytes, also referred to as T helper cells, but may also be expressed by other cells in the immune system, such as monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. At the tissue level, CD4 expression may be detected in thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils, and spleen, and also in specific regions of the brain, gut, and other non-lymphoid tissues. CD4 functions to initiate or augment the early phase of T-cell activation through its association with the T-cell receptor complex and protein tyrosine kinase, Lck. It may also function as an important mediator of direct neuronal damage in infectious and immune-mediated diseases of the central nervous system. Multiple alternatively spliced transcripts have been identified in this gene [RefSeq, July 2017].

Health organizations are emphasizing that myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome is a serious long-term illness, not a psychological disorder, and that standard forms of exercise do not help. Instead, they're acknowledging that exercise can make the disease much worse unless doctors and patients are very careful.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has already revised its patient guidelines on ME/CFS and is currently revising guidelines for physicians.
The action by the federal agency is a significant shift in the years-long controversy over diagnosis and management of the disease, which is characterized by months of incapacitating fatigue, joint pain and cognitive problems.
And last week, the National Health Services in the U.K. said it would reassess its guidelines for ME/CFS recommending exercise, after 20 members of Parliament signed a petition urging a review.

On Monday night Bru put on his culinary hat and cooked us a very tasty risotto with porcini and barolo wine. Any excuse to steal a good bottle of Italian "vino rosso" from the Piccola. It was Champion's League night on Wednesday(yawn) so it was my turn at the cooker. At the moment due to being at the princess' beck and call I'm cooking the easiest and fastest recipes possible. This roasted chicken dish definitely falls into that category. It's one of those dishes where all the ingredients go into one oven tray with minimal preparation.
what you need:
- chicken legs & thighs – we use the organic Moy Park from Superquin
- 4 garlic cloves – leave the skin on
- 1 pack of cherry tomatoes – Dunnes "simply better" range are really good as they are very sweet and full of flavour. I used Italian organic tomatoes that I got at the Farmer's Market on Saturday.
- basil leaves
- 1 red chili finely chopped (optional)
- 1 red onion sliced thickly
- sea salt and black pepper
- olive oil
how to make it:
- preheat your oven to 200 degrees
- place your chicken in an oven tray, season with salt and pepper and add a few glugs of olive oil
- cook for about 20 mins
- add your cherry tomatoes, garlic, red onion, chili and basil
- cook for another 30-40 mins – I like the tomatoes to be quite dried out and the chicken crispy so cook it according to personal taste.

The very troubled, now-former Teen Mom 2 star continues to be in the news for all the wrong reasons; from losing custody of her children to getting involved in a public screaming match with her mother...
... outside of the courthouse in which she's trying to regain custody.
Her life is a giant mess these days.
But the reality star has taken solace in something her four-year old son recently gave her, along with the comfort she says only a mother can take from the feelings of her children.

Day 79
This is our second sea day on the way toward Mauritius. For breakfast, Pat ordered whipped cream yesterday to go with her waffles and fruit. This breakfast dish reminds her of Vic's Waffle House in Tewksbury, MA.
Terry's morning lecture focused on Robert Fitzroy, Captain of the HMS Beagle, on which Charles Darwin sailed. Fitzroy had a good family background, a direct descendant of Charles II, intelligent student at naval college at 12 years old and finished in one-half the time. Years later, on a sailing trip to survey the Straits of Magellan, he assumed captaincy when the Captain committed suicide in a fit of depression on Patagonia. He continued and discovered new channels and inland waterways to the Pacific without rounding the stormy oceans at Cape Horn. He returned to England with three Fuegia natives from Patagonia. He wanted to teach them religion and educate them with the intent of returning them to their homeland and establishing a Christian mission. When the opportunity arrived, Fitzroy wanted a non-military companion for discussion in hopes of keeping his sanity and avoiding depression, unlike his previous captain. In previous stories I covered how Darwin was offered and selected. Darwin was interested in the three natives and observed the islands and places they stopped at along the way to Patagonia. The three natives were returned with a Reverend Matthews and left behind with provisions to establish a mission. The Beagle continued up to Lima and experienced an earthquake, where Darwin noticed 10 foot vertical land movement, giving him new ideas about land formation and the age of the earth.
On to Galapagos, where Darwin observed new species of animals and birds opening his mind to new ideas of evolution. Fitzroy was a devote creationist and arguments with Darwin's newly developing ideas were loud onboard the ship. Fitzroy did not want to be associated with Darwin's theories and made him promise not to publish his theories until after his (Fitzroy) death. Darwin did not abide by the promise entirely, but his Origin was published 23 years later. Fitzroy married upon his return in 1836, and served in Parliament, and a member of the Church Missionary Society that convinced him to return to New Zealand as Governor. Disputes over land grabs from the Maori led to fighting and some deaths. He was relieved and returned to England joining the Royal Society in 1851 and became Chief of Weather Service where he made historical contributions to that new science. The HMS Beagle made another return to Australia to survey and map the coast but ultimately ended as clapboard for a boathouse in England in 1864. Fitzroy committed suicide in 1865. As a final irony, Darwin, the atheist, was buried in Westminster Abbey, while Fitzroy, a devote creationist, is buried outside the church yard, because of his suicide death.
Michael Scott's destination lecture was on the island Reunion, our next port after Mauritius. He talked on his favorite subject, birds, that we might site on our approach and while touring. He mentioned briefly all the same history of the island. He showed maps of the island highlighting the routes of the excursions and showing pictures of the landscape and sites on the island. The island has two active volcanoes and a National Park encompassing about one-half of the island. We are near the end of the rainy season. The island has one world record; the most rainfall in one day on 1-8-1966 of 6.5 feet of rain.
Michael Scott, being a naturalist now, reported that the ship had a stowaway that boarded yesterday and was still here, based on his wife's recent observation. After the lecture, I ventured to the bow on deck 12 to view the stowaway, a Red Footed Booby, a rare specimen. I took many pictures, catching his pale blue beak and one with his red feet showing, though the focus was off. The Pool Deck Buffet featured seafood and I took a picture of the ice carving and centerpiece as well as a fruit carving.
The noontime games were fun and rewarding, while the 2pm slots tournament was not so good to me. Pat went off to make 3-dimensional elephant card and I sat in on a digital camera lesson given by one of the passengers, a professional photographer.
The afternoon lecture by Don Walsh was on "Pirates." The concept has been around since the 17th century, when Royalty would issue Letters of Marque, which essentially gave ship captains the right to harass and loot ships of the enemy and share the booty with the Crown. He showed recent history of activity, mostly in SE Asian islands, Nigeria on the west coast of Africa, and Somalia on the east coast, ranging 1,300 miles out. In 2010, UN, NATO, and US created an anti-piracy fleet to patrol Somalian waters. Pirate activity decreased from 300 in 2012 to zero in 2016. The forces left and a few pirate incidents, 10, were reported in 2017. Russia, China and the US remain in the area occasionally. Local governmental maritime forces are trying to keep it under control. Organized crime has got involved and they supply the locals with weapons in exchange for a share of the profits.
The afternoon Mensa and Trivia were good for us. We (Pat mostly) scored in Mensa and our Trivia team came in second for points. There was a special Under the Sea Showtime performance and cocktail party in the theater for Regent's Top Tier Guests at 6pm. This gave us another chance to drink, which we really don't need, because drinks are continually being offered at every venue on the ship. You must manage your intake with "No thank you" or "Diet coke, please."
Tonight, we are really not hungry so we ordered room service for sandwiches and watched a movie, the new version of Jumanji. We went to the 9:30 show starring Flight Risk. Alexa was debuting her ventriloquist act (still a work in progress) and Paul did his amazing juggling tricks.
We will be in Mauritius tomorrow and going out on a 7½ hour excursion and expect to see some good scenery.
Yours in travel,
Pat & Mac

Egypt extended a state of emergency in parts of the Sinai Peninsula for three months, as a roadside bomb wounded 18 policemen on Sunday in the insurgency-wracked region, security officials said.
The attack happened near El-Arish, the capital of North Sinai Province where the army is battling Islamic State loyalists, according to the officials, who said the policemen were on leave, AFP reported.
Health ministry official Tarek Khater said the wounded were in stable condition in a military hospital in the city.
Egyptian security forces have come under frequent attack in North Sinai since the military toppled the country's first democratically-elected president Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab said late Saturday that the extension of the state of emergency for a third time was necessary because of the "dangerous security situation."
It was originally declared in parts of the peninsula in October following the death of 30 soldiers in an attack close to El-Arish.
The region is a stronghold of the militant group calling itself "Sinai Province," which in November pledged allegiance to the IS that has seized swathes of Iraq and Syria.
The group claimed responsibility for a bombing that killed four soldiers near the border town of Rafah and rocket attack on an Egyptian naval vessel near the coast of Israel and Gaza, less than a week after claiming a bombing in Cairo that heavily damaged the Italian Consulate.

Does this product have glitter in it? I'm REALLY struggling to find glowy/glossy products without glitter in them...
Hi Devvdeluxe! This product does not contain any glitter although it does have a fine shimmer or sheen to it. We hope this information is helpful!

Is there a purpose to the different shades or is it just like, "I feel like looking a little purple today"? I'm really bad at makeup so this is a legit question; I have no idea how to use this product.
It's an astetic look. Like I want a pink blush.. peach blush. I think the word purple is what's off putting and should look at it as a "lavender" that sounds more user friendly. It's more of a "I want to cool my conplection a little so I'll ad a drop or two to my Makeup to get a lavender aura" - hope this helps

Rated 4 out of 5 by KatL from Works like a dream I bought this in hopes to add a little sparkle to my skin. I love the rose which eases some of the tones in my skin. It applies and buffs very pink but when you apply the total drop over it you get a flawless finish. The thick formula is no problem at all when you then contour highlight conceal later. It's so comfortable!

Budget Basics: How Does Social Security Work?
Social Security is the largest single program in the federal budget and makes up approximately one quarter of total federal spending.

Social Security is the largest single program in the federal budget and makes up approximately one quarter of total federal spending.
Federal trust funds bear little resemblance to their private-sector counterparts.
PAYGO is a budget enforcement mechanism intended to prevent passage of legislation that increases deficits.
Following the pattern of previous years, this budget largely relies on very optimistic projections of economic growth and unlikely budget cuts to reduce the deficit.
The latest report from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reiterates that the federal budget is on an unsustainable trajectory.
At $23 trillion and rising, the national debt threatens America's economic future. Here are the top ten reasons why the national debt matters.
The budget projections released by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in August reaffirm the perilous path of deficits and debt expected over the next decade.
The United States spent $631 billion on national defense during fiscal year (FY) 2018 according to the Office of Management and Budget, which amounts to 15 percent of the federal budget.
CBO projects that if current laws remain in place, federal debt will rise to 144 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) within 30 years – far exceeding its all-time high, and nearly doubling today's level.
There is one cap for national defense and another cap for non-defense programs.

The Britions were top ten in the country in yards per game (509) and points per game (42.6), much of it coming from these two concepts. Offensive coordinator Dustin Beurer explains in this exclusive clinic report which scheme he chooses to utilize against 4-1, 4-2, 3-2 and 3-3 boxes and how he trains his quarterback to identify and read the movement key in each of these defensive structures.

Here at Albion College, we have utilized a spread, no huddle, and up-tempo offense over the last two seasons to improve how we do things offensively. Part of our offensive over haul has included implementing Run Pass Options (RPOs) to enhance our running game.
We try to keep things basic with our run schemes. Our two main run schemes are the Inside Zone and the Pin and Pull concept.
- If we are running Inside Zone, in which we leave the end man on the line of scrimmage unblocked, we will run screens on the back side of the run play.
- If we are executing a run scheme, such as Pin and Pull where all of the down defenders are blocked, we will pair that with quick game and pops.
We have found that our run scheme is very difficult for opposing teams to defend. One goal is to put certain defenders in conflict so they have to make a quick decision to defend the run or the pass. A second goal with the Albion College offense is to keep things simple so we can play fast. We want to run the same schemes, while only changing the formations and looks we run them out of (i.e. change the presentation, not the play).
Inside Zone Paired with Quick Screens:
Our Inside Zone paired with quick screens is the first thing we install on day one. For our offense to be productive, it is imperative that we are able to run the Inside Zone. Our base rules are as follows:
Inside Zone Base Rules:
QB - Count the box and check the safeties. See if we have the numbers advantage to the screen side. If numbers are advantageous to the screen and we are outnumbered in the box, he will catch and throw. If we have the numbers advantage in the box, he will hand the ball off.
RB - Toes should align on the heels of the QB with legs splitting the outside leg of the back side guard. Footwork should be a slight bucket step to play side, cross with back side foot and get his shoulders pressing the front side. This forces the LB's to play front their side gaps. His eyes should be reading the "A Gap" defender. As OL displaces the "A Gap" defender, he will attack that gap that develops.
PST - Shuffle reach the front side defensive end. His back side hand will work to the near side breast plate and his front side hand will attack the defenders sternum. He must not let the DE cross his face. If blitz shows off the edge, he will make an alert call, which tells all linemen to push one defender over.
PSG – He will do one of the three following options against different techniques:
- Against a front side 3-technique - Over and up reach step to a play side 3-technique. His back side hand will reach the near side breast plate and his front side hand will work to the defenders sternum. He must displace the defender.
- Against a front side 1-technique (shade) - Flat step with front side foot and drive up with second step through the defender's crotch. Uppercut the defender, allowing the center to come in on combo. He must keep shoulders square and stay on the down defender until the LB invades his space. We want there to be four eyes on the LB.
- Against an odd front - Combo with the front side tackle to the play side LB in the box.
Center – He will do one of the three following options against different techniques:
- Against a front side 3-technique - 3 step course (bucket step, 2nd step on course to play side, 3rd step working square) to protect the front side A gap in case of slant. After 3 steps, he will work shoulders, square up to Mike or front side LB.
- Against a front side 1-technique (shade) - Attack the near side breastplate and combo with front side guard to front side LB or Mike. Stay on combination until the LB invades our space.
- Against an odd front - Flat step and take most of nose. Combo with back side guard to back side LB.
BSG – He will do one of the three following options against different techniques:
- Against a back side 1-technique (shade) - Displace the "A Gap" defender. Attack the near side breast plate and take him for a ride horizontally.
- Against a back side 3-technique - Flat step with front side foot and drive up with second step through the defender's crotch. Uppercut the defender, allowing the backside tackle to come in on combo. Keep shoulders square and stay on down defender until the backside LB invades your space. We expect four eyes on the LB.
- Against an odd front - Combo the Nose with the center to the backside LB. If Nose is hanging backside work up square with the center and stay on combination until the LB invades your space. Keep 4 eyes on the LB.
BST – He will do one of the three following options against different techniques:
- Against a back side 1-technique (shade) - Sift through to the conflict backer against a 4-2 box. Flat step and stab out towards the DE. If the conflict backer leaves the box, he will block the back side DE. If the conflict backer stays in the box, he will climb to block him.
- Against a back side 3-technique - 3 step course to work combo with the back side guard. Keep shoulders, square and four eyes on the backside LB. He will stay on the combination until the LB invades his space.
- Against an odd front - Sift to the conflict LB outside of the box. If he stays to the outside, he will man block the back side DE. If conflict LB comes to play the run, he will work up to block him and leave the backside DE for the QB to read.
WR's - Run/block the screen called to their side. If they do not receive a signal that they are on the screen side, they will block most dangerous man.
Screen Player - Quick two steps forward and then drift, giving the QB your up field shoulder as a target. Catch the ball, read the blocks, and get vertical. We tell him to try to imitate a shooter in basketball coming off of a screen.
RPO: Defensive Identifications…

- How Coach Beurer trains his quarterback to identify and read the movement key in his Inside Zone RPO against a 4-1 box, 4-2 box, 3-2 box and odd front.
- What Coach Beurer tells his play side guard to do against a front side 3-technique, front side shade and zero Nose in his Pin and Pull run concept.
- What Coach Beurer tells his back side guard to do against a back side 3-technique, back side shade and zero Nose in his Pin and Pull run concept.
- How he gets his center out on the perimeter in the Pin and Pull concept.

Over 8,000 high school, college, and NFL coaches have already joined the Insiders. It's time you join…
In conclusion, you can see there are many different ways you can attack a defense by using RPOs. In our no huddle, up-tempo offense, we find the Pin Pull with Pops and Quick Game and Inside Zone with Quick Screens to be the most effective. Incorporating RPOs into our offense has made football more fun for everyone in the offense. Receivers can actually be a big play threat in the run game and our running backs are seeing bigger chunks of yardage when the ball is handed to them. We utilize our RPOs to wear out a defense mentally and physically throughout a game.
Meet Coach Beurer: Dustin Beurer is entering his 9th season coaching at Albion College. Since implementing a no huddle, up-tempo offense, Albion College has been at the top of the conference in most statistical categories, breaking 9 offensive records along the way. This year the Albion College offense finished 5th in the country in yards per game and 9th in scoring offense. Prior to Albion College, Beurer coached 2 seasons at Morehead State University in Kentucky. Coach Beurer has been a part of 4 conference championship teams at Albion College.
