CLARITY: Ideas before drawings!

"SONYA, will you go up and say something for us?"
"A wonderful individual..."
"But you accent all the words equally!" exclaimed Tortsov, "You cannot squander your accents recklessly! . . . Say the word: individual."
"Indi-vidual," came the crisp reply. . . .
"Now you have two accents and the word has broken down in the middle." . . .
"Individual," Sonya said with great effort.
"That is not a vocal stress but a blow on the head," was Tortsov's joking comment. "But why do you feel you must cuff your words around?". . .
"Besides, . . . when you have sliced your word 'individual' into two parts you treat the first half with disdain by almost swallowing it, and you hurl the second half at us to explode like a hand grenade. Let in be one word, one idea, one meaning. Let its composition of sounds, letters, syllables be one melodic line. . . . That line will have form, definition, wholeness and integration to it. It will be better than a piece of wire broken up into bits, scattered around separate from each other. Now try bending the phonetic line of the word 'individual' into a variety of tones."
The whole class began to hum with a confusion of sounds.
"You are doing it mechanically," interrupted Tortsov. "You are producing dry, formal, inanimate sounds, only externally connected with each other. Put some life into them."
"But how?" we asked in bewilderment.
"First of all, by giving to the word the meaning with which nature endowed it - the thought, feeling, idea, image - and not by reducing it to a simple series of sound waves striking the ear drum.
"Make a painting with the word so that the individual you are drawing, that you have in your mind's eye and are describing to the character playing opposite you, will be clear to him. He will sense whether the human being behind the word is beautiful or deformed, tall or short, agreeable or repulsive, kind or cruel." . . .
Sonya made another try but still could not meet the test.
"Your mistake lies in the fact that you first say the word and only afterwards try to understand what it means. You are not drawing from a live model. Try doing things the other way around: first call to mind someone among your acquaintances, stand him up in front of you, the way a painter would, and then tell us what you see in the retina of your inner eye." . . .

When Tortsov came into class today he said to Sonya with a laugh:
"Well, how is our 'wonderful individual' today?"
Sonya answered that the wonderful individual was very well, and as she said it she accented it perfectly.

This was an abridged section of a Chapter titled "Accentuation: The Expressive Word" from Stanislavski's "Building a Character".
Although this passage stresses the importance of clear communication within acting, I find its meaning to be equally representative of the importance of clear communication within drawing. It is directly linked to something Walt Stanchfield - another important teacher - once wrote: "One should have a goal in mind when starting a drawing. And remember, a good beginning is a sure way to a good ending. This does not mean you shouldn't settle for where those lines may lead you - you must guide them toward your goal - which is a good gesture or story point."
The key here, I think, is the great similarity between Stanislavski's phonetic lines "bent" toward a specific definition and Stanchfield's drawn lines guided toward a precise story point.

Although I seem to understand the notion of clarity in theory, I, like Sonya, have difficulty with the practical approach. Here's a drawing I did recently, done in a couple of minutes, during what felt like a rare moment of "clarity".

Emma said...

Yeah, I have trouble with that. I like having a vague idea of what I want and then let the pencil wander, because I'm not good enough to actually draw anything fixed in my head.

Really intense look from him. His eyes pop off the page!

pete scully said...

i'm more of a brecht person myself. never really liked the stanislavski approach.
the eyes and mouth in this drawing are perfect, they tell a big story.

Jkim said...

WoW! I'm so impressed. great stuff Dani!

Dani said...

Emma, I know, it's hard! I think it's a mix between knowledge, feeling and improvisation - and all of those can co-exist in a singular thought.

Pete, thanks.
I don't really know much about acting, but I do enjoy finding the similarities in approach between different art forms.

JK, thank you. That's highly encouraging!

We have 1 images of Dark Shadows The Death Mask
The Death Mask is an audio drama produced by Big Finish Productions. It was released in May 2011.

Publisher's summary Edit

“One of you is a murderer! None of you are above suspicion. You all had something to lose.”

Moments after welcoming his guests to a party, millionaire Harrison Pierce is murdered. But his death is only the first of many as, trapped on an isolated island, his guests start to die in increasingly bizarre ways.

Attorney Tony Peterson must join forces with a woman who destroyed his life years before, the beautiful but deadly Cassandra Collins. But can she be trusted? And what really is the secret of the mysterious Death Mask?

Synopsis Edit

Night falls on turbulent waters as a motorboat ends its journey to an isolated island off the coast of Maine. On board attorney Anthony Peterson, a man who thought he’d escaped a past haunted by frightening schemes of revenge and destruction. But who is about to learn that no place is far enough to run. For on this night an ominous figure from that past will re-emerge plunging Tony into a chain of events that will bring terror and death to all who surround him.

Lawyer Tony Peterson arrives on a island to attend a house party hosted by his client, millionaire Harrison Pierce Unexpectedly, he encounters witch Cassandra Collins a woman who almost destroyed his life.

Opening Theme

Tony isn’t pleased to Cassandra again and immediately wants to leave. However he is prevented from doing so by an approaching storm. He returns to the party. Cassandra and Tony discuss the guests in attendance at the party, these include: Marilyn Wedgewood, heir to the Wedgewood publishing fortune; Dr. David Stone, Pierce’s private Physician and close friend; Pierce’s cousin Horace Sanders and his wife Evelyn; Pearce’s nephew James Ryce; and niece Sharon Ryce. Harrison Pierce makes a dramatic entrance to the party and invites his guests to join him in the Gallery. They comply unenthusiastically.

In the Gallery, Tony observes many display cases full of items all carefully catalogued and labelled. Pierce grandly unveils the latest treasure in his collection much to the astonishment of his guests. It is an exceptionally beautiful life sized golden mask of eastern design. Cassandra recognizes it as one of the Veils of Accosher. Pierce confirms that it is a replica that he's had made of the original Veil much to the disgust of his family members in attendance who believing him to be wasting money. In reaction to this Pierce starts berate his guests, and threatens to cut them all out of his will. The Butler appears and announces that dinner will be served later than expected, to which Pierce suggests they all return to the parlour for more drinks.

Later, 8:30pm. Dinner still yet to be served and Pierce is nowhere to be seen. Ten more minutes pass. The Butler enters and whispers something to Dr. Stone. Stone announces to the rest of the guests that a ‘mishap’ has occurred in the Gallery, everyone goes there to find out what. In the Gallery, Pierce lays face down on the floor dead, with a knife protruding from his back. Stone deduces that one of the guests is the murderer, citing Pierce’s threat to disinherit them from his will as the motive. The butler reveals that the telephone lines are down due to the storm, so the police cannot be contacted. Taking control of the situation, Tony states that they all should leave the scene of the murder. Cassandra notices that the Veil is missing. Tony suspects Cassandra as being involved; she claims innocence and suggests that if they find the mask they will find the murderer.

Back in the parlour the guests are all uncharacteristically quiet. Cassandra notices James Ryce and the maid sneaking off somewhere. Tony gets the rest of guests to write down their statements of what they were all doing and whom they were with in the half hour before dinner was called. Whilst they do this, Tony and Cassandra go to find James and the maid. Cassandra feels they are being watched, at that moment the maid screams. They follow the sound and find James Ryce on the floor dead. Dr. Stone promptly appears on the scene to examine the body and confirms that James has been strangled, however there are no marks on his neck. Stone also reveals that Pierce’s dead body is now missing. Tony again suspects Cassandra, who admits to having an interest in the mask, but says she knows nothing of the murders and that there maybe more to the mask than meets the eye.

The electricity cuts out. News of the latest developments causes panic to spread amongst the guests. Cassandra calms the situation. Tony and Cassandra review the guests statements. Everyone retires for the night. Tony goes to see Stone, Stone having earlier slipped him a note asking to talk privately. On his way there, Cassandra appears saying she heard footsteps, they find Stone’s room empty. They agree that Stone knows something and continue to look for him together. Whilst they look Tony and Cassandra discuss their previous encounter together.

Arriving at the library just in time to witness choking cries and a figure dropping to the floor. Tony and Cassandra find that the figure writhing on the floor in agony is Dr. Stone. Now lying deathly still, his face is contorted in terror. As Tony reaches for his neck to check for a pulse, water pours from Stone’s mouth. Despite being perfectly dry it is as though Stone had just been drowned. Tony states that without a doubt the supernatural is involved here, he turns to Cassandra. She admits that she was sent by ‘associates’ with a purpose to verify whether the Veil of Accosher was the original and if so to acquire it for them. She explains that the original mask gives the wearer power over each of the four elements. Tony concludes that the very air itself strangled James Rice and that Stone was drowned by mask's mastery over water. A terrifying scream is heard. The source of the scream is Evelyn Sanders, her husband Horace lay dead. She describes a stream of dirt falling from the ceiling pouring onto her husband, pinning him down until he couldn’t breathe, and that once his struggles stopped the dirt vanished.

Tony gathers everyone together, except Sharon Ryce who cannot be found. Tony and Cassandra go look for her, their search leads them to the Gallery. Entering they discover Sharon hiding behind a cabinet, calling out to air begging it not to take her. She pulls a sword from the wall and begins waving it menacingly around in the air. A column of fire appears and corners Cassandra who starts to panic. In a moment of realization Tony dashes off to Pierce’s library, where he finds Pierce standing as if in the eye of a hurricane, alive and wearing the Veil of Accosher, pulsing with power. Pierce confesses he is using the mask to rid himself of the leeches that call themselves his family. Tony hurls a large vase at Pierce knocking the mask from his face to the floor. Pierce lay on the floor, still alive, unconscious. Tony grabs the mask and returns to the library to find Cassandra and Sharon both unharmed. The Police arrive, however Cassandra is nowhere to be found and also missing is the Veil of Accosher. Harrison Pierce has been left a mindless vegetable by the forces of the mask. Tony informs the Police of what happened, the odd nature of deaths being conveniently overlooked. No one else but Tony remembers that Cassandra was a guest at the party.

Sometime later, in his office Tony recounts the events of that night for his records. At his conclusion Cassandra appears. It is revealed that he gave up law and became a detective and that ‘Cassandra’ is now a blond. Cassandra reveals she never gave the Veil of Accosher to her masters, realizing that it was too dangerous for anyone to have control over, she managed to conveniently ‘lose it’. She hands Tony his fathers’ lighter back, the one she took from him in order to manipulate him on their original encounter together. She wishes him good luck with his detective work and tells him to whistle if he ever wants to ‘do it’ again sometime. She leaves. Outside, she holds Veil of Accosher and laments that it a pity its too dangerous too keep. She laughs.

Whither The BBC?

The BBC could never be privatised. As with the railways, the only deal that would ever be politically acceptable would be one in which the profits of one or more supposedly private companies were guaranteed by public subsidies. That's not privatisation. Is it? The railways should never have been subjected to this, and nor should the BBC be.

Instead, elect the Trustees. In Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and each of the nine English regions (I know, I know - but what other unit could you reasonably suggest?), licence-payers should each vote for up to one candidate, with the top two elected to serve a four-year term. There would also be a Chairman, appointed by the Secretary of State with the approval of the House of Commons.

The Trustees would meet in public under any circumstance when a local council would do so. And the candidates would be sufficiently independent to qualify in principle for the Remuneration Panels of their local authorities.

I don't think there'd be too much F*** Off, I'm A Hairy Woman then, would there?

This pattern should also be applied, with everyone having a vote, to Ofcom, to the Press Complaints Commission, and to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority, just for a start.

  1. PCC would be difficult as, I believe, it's an industry self-regulation arrangement.

April 29, 1991

Appeal from the Superior Court of the District of Columbia; Hon. Steffen W. Graae, Motions Judge, Hon. Frederick H. Weisberg, Trial Judge.

Ferren, Terry and Steadman, Associate Judges.

The opinion of the court was delivered by: Steadman

Appellant, incarcerated in Maryland, was brought into the District of Columbia to be tried on two counts relating to a robbery with respect to which a detainer had been filed with the Maryland authorities. After his arrival in the District, the two robbery counts were dismissed with prejudice for failure to bring appellant to trial within the 180-day time limit specified in Art. III of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act ("IAD"), D.C. Code § 24-701 (1989). However, appellant while here was indicted on five additional counts covering unrelated crimes, and in a conditional plea pled guilty to three of those counts.

The principal issue on this appeal is whether the new counts were also subject to the time limit of Art. III, and thus should also have been dismissed with prejudice under the IAD. We hold that the time limit of Art. III did not apply to the new counts. We further hold that even if, under the provisions of the IAD, appellant should have been returned to Maryland upon the dismissal of the robbery counts and new proceedings begun for his redelivery here for trial on the new counts, no prejudice resulted from the failure to do so, and any violation was therefore harmless.

During April of 1988, appellant was incarcerated in Maryland. On April 8, 1988, a warrant for the arrest of appellant was issued by a Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, based on a complaint *fn1 and affidavit relating exclusively to the robbery of a United Airlines ticket office in the District. Several days later, the government caused a detainer to be lodged against appellant with the proper authorities in Maryland.

On November 2, 1988, appellant submitted a demand for Disposition of pending charges in the District of Columbia pursuant to Art. III of the IAD. *fn2 On March 14, 1989, the government filed with the Superior Court a "Petition for Writ of habeas corpus Ad Prosequendum," which was issued later that day by a Judge of that court. *fn3 On March 27, pursuant to that writ, appellant arrived in the District of Columbia.

On April 4, a two-count grand jury indictment was filed relating to the United Airlines incident. Trial was originally set for May 9 but postponed, over appellant's objection, so that the government could obtain a superseding indictment, containing both the original United Airlines counts and five additional counts based upon five robberies occurring in the same general time frame as the United Airlines robbery *fn4 but otherwise having no connection with it. On May 15, appellant filed a motion to dismiss the indictment, arguing that the government had failed to bring his case to trial within 180 days of his demand under Art. III. On May 17, the trial court heard appellant's motion seeking dismissal of the United Airlines counts, but the hearing was expanded to consider the question whether the additional counts in the superseding indictment, filed the previous day, had to be dismissed as well.

The trial court dismissed the United Airlines counts *fn5 but refused to dismiss the new counts in the indictment, ruling that the government's detainer and appellant's subsequent Art. III demand related only to the United Airlines counts. With respect to the new counts, the government and the trial court were apparently of the view that the 120-day time limit of Art. IV applied, *fn6 obliging the government to bring appellant to trial by July 25, 1989, that being 120 days after appellant's arrival in the District of Columbia on March 27. Appellant's demand to be returned to Maryland was denied. *fn7

A motion for reconsideration was subsequently denied, and appellant on July 10 pled guilty to three counts of the then pending indictment, *fn8 conditioned on his right to appeal the court's earlier refusal to dismiss the new counts on the ground that they, like the United Airlines counts, were subject to appellant's Art. III speedy trial rights under the IAD.

An examination of the language of the IAD clearly shows that the trial court was correct in refusing to dismiss the new counts as violative of rights of the appellant under Art. III of the IAD.

First, rights under Art. III come into being only when "there is pending in any other party State any untried indictment, information, or complaint on the basis of which a detainer has been lodged against the prisoner." Art. III(a). Thus, even an outstanding indictment in another state generates no Art. III rights in and of itself; the key is the lodging of a detainer based on that untried indictment. United States v. Mauro, 436 U.S. 340, 98 S. Ct. 1834, 56 L. Ed. 2d 329 (1978).

Second, even where a detainer has been filed against a prisoner, a "request for final Disposition" under Art. III(a) operates, according to its terms, as a request only "for final Disposition of all untried indictments, informations, or complaints on the basis of which detainers have been lodged against the prisoner from the State to whose prosecuting official the request for final Disposition is specifically directed." Art. III(d).

In conformity with these provisions, Art. V(c) provides that "in the event that an action on the indictment, information, or complaint on the basis of which the detainer has been lodged is not brought to trial within the [180-day] period provided in article III," that indictment, information, or complaint must *fn9 be dismissed with prejudice, "and any detainer based thereon shall cease to be of any force or effect."

Thus, these provisions focus on the problem of detainers. By their terms, they deal only with indictments, informations, or complaints on the basis of which detainers have been filed. They do not otherwise affect situations in which one jurisdiction may seek to obtain custody of a person located in another jurisdiction. For example, in the District of Columbia, writs of ad prosequendum have been and continue to be a traditional way of securing the presence of a person located in another jurisdiction. The Supreme Court has directly held that prisoners who are brought into a jurisdiction pursuant to a federal writ to be tried for crimes with respect to which no detainer is pending have no rights under the IAD. United States v. Mauro, supra, 436 U.S. at 361. *fn10

In the case before us, there can be no substantial dispute that the detainer lodged in Maryland was based only on the United Airlines offense. The detainer itself states, in operative part: "Subject is wanted by this Department on charges of Robbery. The warrant was signed and issued on April 8, 1988." Furthermore, at the time the detainer was lodged, the only "untried indictment, information, or complaint" upon which the detainer could have been based was the complaint on the United Airlines offense, which led to the issuance of the arrest warrant for appellant and in turn the detainer itself lodged in Maryland. *fn11 The coupling of the word "complaint" with "indictment" and "information" is a solid indication that "complaint" refers to a formal document of some type initiating criminal action against an individual, and not inchoate matters with respect to which no court proceedings of any sort have been initiated. In the words of the Supreme Court, addressing the precise language at issue here, "the most natural interpretation of the words 'indictment,' 'information,' and 'complaint' is that they refer to documents charging an individual with having committed a criminal offense." Carchman v. Nash, 473 U.S. 716, 724, 105 S. Ct. 3401, 87 L. Ed. 2d 516 (1985). *fn12

Appellant argues that notwithstanding the words of the IAD, its provisions should be deemed applicable as well to any matters which may be under investigation in which the prisoner may be implicated, or at least those as to which the government may have an active intent to bring formal charges. *fn13 We fail to see how such an interpretation is warranted under either the language or the intent of the IAD. *fn14 The prisoner cannot by filing an Art. III request force the government to any premature decision whether or not to instigate formal charges against him. The prisoner's rights under the IAD do not extend so far. While it is true that the IAD's provisions are to be "liberally construed," Art. IX, this does not warrant a disregard of the clear language and structure of the IAD. *fn15

Appellant contends that what it terms a similar "hypertechnical" interpretation of the IAD was rejected in State v. Smith, 73 Md. App. 378, 534 A.2d 371 (Md. App. 1987). In that case, the state lodged a detainer based on an arrest warrant against Smith, who was incarcerated in the District, and who, upon receiving notice thereof, requested a final Disposition of the Maryland charges. Smith was indicted in Maryland two hundred and eighteen days after he filed his IAD request. The state argued that the arrest warrant was not an "untried indictment, information or complaint" which could ignite Smith's IAD demand. The court rejected the state's argument, concluding that the state effectively would be rewriting the IAD if it were allowed to "lodge a detainer on the basis of a warrant and then withhold the triggering of the IAD through the simplistic method of not obtaining an indictment or filing a criminal information." Id. at 374.

However, in Smith, it was uncontroverted that the arrest warrant underlying the detainer related to precisely the same charges as those for which the state sought to try the defendant. The only possible way of avoiding the IAD time restraint would have been to hold that the arrest warrant could not form the basis of an IAD detainer. The Maryland court held to the contrary, a result in accord with our decision in Tucker v. United States, supra note 9, 569 A.2d 162 (discussing circumstances where arrest warrant may constitute a detainer). The question we are faced with here is the very different one of the scope of the prisoner's rights under an Art. III request based upon what is unarguably a detainer under the IAD.

A related legal issue presented by the facts in this appeal is the question of the government's right to try appellant on the new counts in the courts of the District of Columbia in light of Art. V(d) and (e) of the IAD, *fn16 which provide:

(d) The temporary custody [of the receiving state] referred to in this agreement shall be only for the purpose of permitting prosecution on the charge or charges contained in the one or more untried indictments, informations, or complaints which form the basis of the detainer or detainers or for prosecution on any other charge or charges arising out of the same transaction. . . .

(e) At the earliest practicable time consonant with the purposes of this agreement, the prisoner shall be returned to the sending State.

These provisions did not deprive courts in the District of Columbia of jurisdiction to try appellant on the five counts. See Brown v. District Court, 194 Colo. 225, 571 P.2d 1091, 1092 (Colo. 1977) (en banc) ("The circumstances by which an accused person comes before the court have no bearing on the court's power to try him," citing Frisbie v. Collins, 342 U.S. 519, 72 S. Ct. 509, 96 L. Ed. 541 (1952)); State v. Casuso, 253 N.W.2d 919 (Iowa 1977). However, insofar as appellant's presence here depended upon the IAD, they did place upon the government the obligation to return the prisoner to Maryland once it had dismissed the charges upon which the detainer was based, at least upon the request of either the prisoner or the sending state. *fn17 Cooney v. Fulcomer, 886 F.2d 41 (3d Cir. 1989).

We see no grounds to support the position that although appellant's Art. III request did not encompass the five additional charges, the government could hold him here on the basis of Art. IV. *fn18 That article permits a receiving state to request delivery of a prisoner against whom a detainer is lodged, but the temporary custody thus obtained is, as with Art. III situations, only for the purpose of permitting prosecution on the charge or charges which form the basis of the detainers or arising out of the same transaction. Art. V(d). Thus, if the new offenses were not included within the detainer for purposes of Art. III, they could not be included for purposes of Art. IV.

We may assume, without deciding, that had appellant been sent back to Maryland, he would have been entitled to a hearing pursuant to Maryland's version of the Uniform Criminal Extradition Act, Md. Code Ann. Art. 41, § 2-210 (1990). *fn19 Contrary to a request under Art. III which requires that the prisoner waive his extradition rights, see note 16 (supra) , a prisoner's extradition rights are preserved when the receiving state requests custody under Art. IV of the IAD. Cuyler v. Adams, supra note 10, 449 U.S. at 450.

Thus, the issue is the consequence of a failure to comply with the provisions of the IAD requiring a return to the sending state. If a prisoner is not brought to trial within the time limits designated in the IAD on charges subject to those time limits, its provisions specifically spell out the consequence: a dismissal of the charges with prejudice. Art. V(c). The same sanction is expressly provided for if a prisoner, having been brought to the receiving state pursuant to an Art. III request, is returned to the sending state without trial on any charges encompassed within the Art. III request. Art. III(d). No such sanction is provided for a violation of Art. V(d). We conclude that such a violation is cause for reversal only if it can be shown to have caused prejudice to appellant. See Kotteakos v. United States, 328 U.S. 750, 66 S. Ct. 1239, 90 L. Ed. 1557 (1946). *fn20

We are unable to perceive that appellant has suffered any prejudice through his conviction here on the five new counts without having been returned to Maryland, nor does appellant even now point to any prejudice that in fact ensued. It is undisputed that the government, had it delivered the appellant back to Maryland, could have forthwith sought his return to the District under a writ of habeas corpus ad prosequendum, as set forth above.

The principal prejudice that a prisoner might ordinarily suffer as a result of the failure to be returned to the sending state would appear to be his loss of any speedy trial rights that an Art. IV procedure might provide him. *fn21 But no such concern is present here. Even if we assume that a prisoner who is held in a receiving state in violation of Art. V retains his speedy trial rights as if he were here involuntarily under an Art. IV request, here appellant pled guilty to the new counts within 120 days after he was brought into the District, and indeed within 120 days after the charges upon which he was tried became formal charges by the filing of an indictment. While it might be argued that if a prisoner's presence in the receiving state is a consequence of an Art. III request, he should be granted the benefit of the Art. III time limits if he is held in the receiving state in violation of Art. V, we think this presses the concept of Art. III rights too far in the face of a statutory scheme that makes no provision for such a sanction.

Israel, Turkey reactivate air force ties

    Mechanism suspended in September after UN report on â€˜Mavi Marmaraâ€™ incident hurt relations.

    Talkbacks (30)
    The air force has reestablished a coordination mechanism with Turkey that works to prevent aerial misunderstandings and potential clashes over the Mediterranean Sea.

    Once long-time friends and training partners, ties between the IAF and the Turkish Air Force came to an end following Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip in 2009.

    Despite the breakdown in diplomatic and military ties, the IAF continued to maintain an open line of communication with the Turkish Air Force to prevent potential misunderstandings when pilots from both countries encounter one another flying over the Mediterranean.

    This too came to an end though in September when a United Nations commission, established to investigate the 2010 Turkish flotilla incident, determined that Israelâ€™s sea blockade over the Gaza Strip is legitimate. It said however, that the Navy raid on the Mavi Marmara ship, which ended with nine dead passengers, was excessive and unreasonable.

    A senior IAF officer said Wednesday that the coordination mechanism was recently reactivated as part of the countriesâ€™ efforts to stabilize and improve ties. Two weeks ago, the Turkish military attache to Israel attended an IAF briefing for foreign military officers at the Uvda Air Force Base on the sidelines of the IAF joint maneuvers with the Italian Air Force.

    The officer said that the IAF would also likely invite Turkey to participate in a large-scale international aerial drill that it will be hosting in Israel in 2013. The IAF has significantly increased the number of joint-training drills it holds with foreign countries in recent years.

    â€œThere is nothing preventing them from participating,â€ the officer said.

Russian Spies and Strategic Intelligence

Discussion in 'Defence & Strategic Issues' started by Neil, Jul 17, 2010.

    The United States has captured a group of Russian spies and exchanged them for four individuals held by the Russians on espionage charges. The ways the media have reported on the issue fall into three groups:

    * That the Cold War is back,
    * That, given that the Cold War is over, the point of such outmoded intelligence operations is questionable,
    * And that the Russian spy ring was spending its time aimlessly nosing around in think tanks and open meetings in an archaic and incompetent effort.

    It is said that the world is global and interdependent. This makes it vital for a given nation to know three things about all of the nations with which it interacts.

    First, it needs to know what other nations are capable of doing. Whether militarily, economically or politically, knowing what other nations are capable of narrows down those nationsâ€™ possible actions, eliminating fantasies and rhetoric from the spectrum of possible moves. Second, the nation needs to know what other nations intend to do. This is important in the short run, especially when intentions and capabilities match up. And third, the nation needs to know what will happen in other nations that those nationsâ€™ governments didnâ€™t anticipate.

    The more powerful a nation is, the more important it is to understand what it is doing. The United States is the most powerful country in the world. It therefore follows that it is one of the prime focuses of every country in the world. Knowing what the United States will do, and shifting policy based on that, can save countries from difficulties and even disaster. This need is not confined, of course, to the United States. Each country in the world has a list of nations that it is interdependent with, and it keeps an eye on those nations. These can be enemies, friends or just acquaintances. It is impossible for nations not to keep their eyes on other nations, corporations not to keep their eyes on other corporations and individuals not to keep their eyes on other people. How they do so varies; that they do so is a permanent part of the human condition. The shock at learning that the Russians really do want to know what is going on in the United States is, to say the least, overdone.
    Russian Tradecraft Examined

    Letâ€™s consider whether the Russian spies were amateurish. During the 1920s and 1930s, the Soviets developed a unique model of espionage. They would certainly recruit government officials or steal documents. What they excelled at, however, was placing undetectable operatives in key positions. Soviet talent scouts would range around left-wing meetings to discover potential recruits. These would be young people with impeccable backgrounds and only limited contact with the left. They would be recruited based on ideology, and less often via money, sex or blackmail. They would never again be in contact with communists or fellow travelers. They would apply for jobs in their countriesâ€™ intelligence services, foreign or defense ministries, and so on. Given their family and academic backgrounds, they would be hired. They would then be left in place for 20 or 30 years while they rose in the ranks â€” and, on occasion, aided with bits of information from the Soviet side to move their careers ahead.

    The Soviets understood that a recruited employee might be a double agent. But stealing information on an ad hoc basis was also risky, as the provenance of such material was always murky. Recruiting people who were not yet agents, creating psychological and material bonds over long years of management and allowing them to mature into senior intelligence or ministry officials allowed ample time for testing loyalty and positioning. The Soviets not only got more reliable information this way but also the ability to influence the other countryâ€™s decision-making. Recruiting a young man in the 1930s, having him work with the OSS and later the CIA, and having him rise to the top levels of the CIA â€” had that ever happened â€” would thus give the Soviets information and control.

    These operations took decades, and Soviet handlers would spend their entire careers managing one career. There were four phases:

    * Identifying likely candidates,
    * Evaluating and recruiting them,
    * Placing them and managing their rise in the organization,
    * And exploiting them.

    The longer the third phase took, the more effective the fourth phase would be.

    It is difficult to know what the Russian team was up to in the United States from news reports, but there are two things we know about the Russians: They are not stupid, and they are extremely patient. If we were to guess â€” and we are guessing â€” this was a team of talent scouts. They were not going to meetings at the think tanks because they were interested in listening to the papers; rather, they were searching for recruits. These were people between the ages of 22 and 30, doing internships or entry-level jobs, with family and academic backgrounds that would make employment in classified areas of the U.S. government easy â€” and who in 20 to 30 years would provide intelligence and control to Moscow.

    In our view, the media may have conflated two of Moscowâ€™s missions.
    Twin Goals and the Espionage Challenge

    One of the Russian operatives, Don Heathfield, once approached a STRATFOR employee in a series of five meetings. There appeared to be no goal of recruitment; rather, the Russian operative tried to get the STRATFOR employee to try out software he said his company had developed. We suspect that had this been done, our servers would be outputting to Moscow. We did not know at the time who he was. (We have since reported the incident to the FBI, but these folks were everywhere, and we were one among many.)

    Thus, the group apparently included a man using software sales as cover â€” or as we suspect, as a way to intrude on computers. As discussed, the group also included talent scouts. We would guess that Anna Chapman was brought in as part of the recruitment phase of talent scouting. No one at STRATFOR ever had a chance to meet her, having apparently failed the first screening.

    Each of the phases of the operativesâ€™ tasks required a tremendous amount of time, patience and, above all, cover. The operatives had to blend in (in this case, they didnâ€™t do so well enough). Russians have always had a tremendous advantage over Americans in this regard. A Russian long-term deployment took you to the United States, for example. Were the Americans to try the same thing, they would have to convince people to spend years learning Russian to near-native perfection and then to spend 20-30 years of their lives in Russia. Some would be willing to do so, but not nearly as many as there are Russians prepared to spend that amount of time in the United States or Western Europe.

    The United States can thus recruit sources (and sometimes it gets genuine ones). It can buy documents. But the extremely patient, long-term deployments are very difficult for it. It doesnâ€™t fit with U.S. career patterns or family expectations.

    The United States has substituted technical intelligence for this process. Thus, the most important U.S. intelligence-collection agency is not the CIA; it is the National Security Agency (NSA). The NSA focuses on intercepting communications, penetrating computer networks, encryption and the like. (We will assume that they are successful at this.) So whereas the Russians seek to control the career of a recruit through retirement, the NSA seeks access to everything that is recorded electronically. The goal here is understanding capabilities and intentions. To the extent that the target is unaware of the NSAâ€™s capabilities, the NSA does well. In many ways, this provides better and faster intelligence than the placement of agents, except that this does not provide influence.
    The Intelligence Assumption

    In the end, both the U.S. and Russian models â€” indeed most intelligence models â€” are built on the core assumption that the more senior the individual, the more knowledge he and his staff have. To put it more starkly, it assumes that what senior (and other) individuals say, write or even think reveals the most important things about the country in question. Thus, controlling a senior government official or listening to his phone conversations or e-mails makes one privy to the actions that country will take â€” thus allowing one to tell the future.

    Letâ€™s consider two cases: Iran in 1979 and the Soviet Union from 1989 to 1991. The fall of the shah of Iran and the collapse of the Soviet empire were events of towering importance for the United States. Assume that the United States knew everything the shahâ€™s senior officials and their staffs knew, wrote, or said in the period leading up to the Iranian Revolution. Or assume that the shahâ€™s prime minister or a member of the Soviet Unionâ€™s Politburo was a long-term mole.

    Either of those scenarios would not have made any difference to how events played out. This is because, in the end, the respective senior leadership didnâ€™t know how events were going to play out. Partly this is because they were in denial, but mostly this is because they didnâ€™t have the facts and they didnâ€™t interpret the facts they did have properly. At these critical turning points in history, the most thorough penetration using either American or Russian techniques would have failed to provide warning of the change ahead. This is because the basic premise of the intelligence operation was wrong. The people being spied on and penetrated simply didnâ€™t understand their own capabilities â€” i.e., the reality on the ground in their respective countries â€” and therefore their intentions about what to do were irrelevant and actually misleading.

    In saying this, we must be very cautious, since obviously there are many instances in which targets of intelligence agencies do have valuable information and their decisions do actually represent what will happen. But if we regard anticipating systemic changes as one of the most important categories of intelligence, then these are cases where the targets of intelligence may well know the least and know it last. The Japanese knew they were going to hit Pearl Harbor, and having intelligence on that fact was enormously important. But that the British would collapse at Singapore was a fact not known to the British, so there would have been no way to obtain that information in advance from the British.

    We started with three classes of intelligence: capabilities, intentions and what will actually happen. The first is an objective measure that can sometimes be seen directly but more frequently is obtained through data held by someone in the target country. The most important issue is not what this data says but how accurate it is. Intentions, by contrast, represent the subjective plans of decision-makers. History is filled with intentions that were never implemented, or that, when implemented, had wildly different outcomes than the decision-maker expected. From our point of view, the most important aspect of this category is the potential for unintended consequences. For example, George W. Bush did not intend to get bogged down in a guerrilla war in Iraq. What he intended and what happened were two different things because his view of American and Iraqi capabilities were not tied to reality.

    American and Russian intelligence is source-based. There is value in sources, but they need to be taken with many grains of salt, not because they necessarily lie but because the highest-placed source may simply be wrong â€” and at times, an entire government can be wrong. If the purpose of intelligence is to predict what will happen, and it is source-based, then that assumes that the sources know what is going on and how it will play out. But often they donâ€™t.

    Russian and American intelligence agencies are both source-obsessed. On the surface, this is reasonable and essential. But it assumes something about sources that is frequently true, but not always â€” and in fact is true only with great infrequency on the most important issues. From our point of view, the purpose of intelligence is obvious: It is to collect as much information as possible, and surely from the most highly placed sources. But in the end, the most important question to ask is whether the most highly placed source has any clue as to what is going to happen.

    Knowledge of what is being thought is essential. But gaming out how the objective and impersonal forces will interact and play out it is the most important thing of all. The focus on sources allows the universe of intelligence to be populated by the thoughts of the target. Sometimes that is of enormous value. But sometimes the most highly placed source has no idea what is about to happen. Sometimes it is necessary to listen to the tape of Gorbachev or Bush planning the future and recognize that what they think will happen and what is about to happen are very different things.

    The events of the past few weeks show intelligence doing the necessary work of recruiting and rescuing agents. The measure of all of this activity is not whether one has penetrated the other side, but in the end, whether your intelligence organization knew what was going to happen and told you regardless of what well-placed sources believed. Sometimes sources are indispensable. Sometimes they are misleading. And sometimes they are the way an intelligence organization justifies being wrong.

    Putin says spies expelled from US had 'tough lives'

    Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin says he has met the Russian agents recently deported from the US - and claimed they were living "tough lives" and had been "betrayed".

    He told journalists that he had sung Soviet-era patriotic songs with the agents.

    However, Mr Putin did not say where the meeting took place.

    The 10 Russians admitted in a US court earlier this month to being agents for a foreign country.

    More serious money laundering charges against them were dropped.

    They were then flown to Vienna, where a Russian jet carrying four prisoners freed by Russia arrived around the same time - in what was America's biggest spy swap with Russia since the Cold War.

    Mr Putin, who served as a KGB agent during the Soviet era, made the comments about his meeting during a visit to Foros, Ukraine, on Saturday.

    He also confirmed that Anna Chapman - who had received most of the publicity in the Western and Russian media - was among the agents present.

    He said they had talked about life, and that "every one of them had a tough life".

    "First [problem] was to master foreign language as your own. Think and speak it and do what are you told to do for the interest of your motherland for many years without counting on diplomatic immunity," the prime minister said.

    Asked whether he had sung karaoke with them, Mr Putin said: "We did, but not with a karaoke box. We sang to live music and we sang 'Where the Motherland Begins' and other such songs."

    The song became hugely popular after it featured in a 1960s film about a Russian spy working in Nazi Germany.

    Mr Putin went on to say that the spy swap with the US had come about as a result of "betrayal".

    "Traitors always end badly. They finish up as drunks, addicts, on the street," he said.

    And when asked by reporters if Moscow was planning to take revenge, he said it was incorrect to ask about it.

    "It cannot be solved at a press conference. They live by their own laws, and all special services are well aware of these laws," he said.

[fag-uh-sahyt] /ˈfæg əˌsaɪt/

noun, Cell Biology.
any cell, as a macrophage, that ingests and destroys foreign particles, bacteria, and cell debris.
an amoeboid cell or protozoan that engulfs particles, such as food substances or invading microorganisms

1884, from German phagocyten (plural), coined in German in 1884 by Dr. Elias Metchnikoff (1845-1916) from Greek phago- “eating, devouring” (see -phagous) + -cyte (see cyto-). Related: Phagocytosis.

phagocytic phag·o·cyt·ic (fāg’ə-sĭt’ĭk)

phagocyte phag·o·cyte (fāg’ə-sīt’)
A cell, such as a white blood cell, that engulfs and absorbs waste material, harmful microorganisms, or other foreign bodies in the bloodstream and tissues.
Any of various organisms or specialized cells that engulf and ingest other cells or particles. In vertebrate animals, phagocytes are white blood cells that break down bacteria and other microorganisms, foreign particles, and cellular debris. These include monocytes, macrophages, and most granulocytes. ◇ The process by which phagocytes engulf and break down bacteria or particles is called phagocytosis (fāg’ə-sī-tō’sĭs). During phagocytosis the cell encloses foreign material and the extracellular fluid surrounding it by an infolding of a part of the cell membrane, which then pinches off to form a vesicle, called a phagosome. The phagosomes fuse with lysosomes, resulting in digestion of the ingested matter. Unicellular protists such as amoebas ingest food by the process of phagocytosis.

Colossus 2013

Revising the monument:

Not like the noble works of Western fame,
Of conquering race astride from land to land,
Here at bloodied, graffitied gates now stands,
A twerking harlot, some parent’s shame, to proclaim:
U S for Sale! Comprehensive Plan!
"Yo World; may your spawn slander, reprimand,
My breed, whose bequest, nonetheless, they'll have,
Keep," mumble her collagened lips, "your fit. Pour:
Your aggrieved, those eager to settle scores,
Bloodied hands fleeing their criminal wars,
Bring misogyny, polygamy, crime,
Bring Hate, Greed, 'Vibrancy'; power is  mine!
Hit my cell at the door, for a good time..."

DPD Changes Gears, Will Now Enforce Drunk Biking Policy

DENVER (CBS4) – Officials with the Denver Police Department are adjusting their enforcement policy regarding drinking and bikes after a scooter driver who got in a wreck with a biker claimed his case wasn’t being handled fairly.

In June 2011, John Wright was driving his scooter home when he collided with a bicyclist.

“Out of nowhere I found myself down on the concrete,” Wright said. “I was just wondering what the heck had happened. I had no idea.”

Wright was arrested for drunk driving, but the cyclist — who police say caused the accident and was equally intoxicated — was not.

“It wasn’t fair. It just wasn’t fair at all,” Wright said.

Wright found out state law prohibits drunk cycling, but that it was written into the Denver police manual not to enforce the law.

His complaint reached Denver police Lt. Rob Rock, who then became involved in an effort to change the policy.

“Looking into it, I didn’t have a sufficient reason as to why we weren’t. That’s why we took steps with the Denver DA’s office to rectify that policy,” said Rock, who said serious cycling accidents are on the rise as more people to choose to ride in the city.

This week Denver Police Chief Robert White ordered officers to start enforcing the state law. According to that law, someone can get a DUI if they are caught drunk on a bike.

The change in policy is not good news to some in Denver’s growing biking community. Brad Evans, who hosts Denver’s popular cruiser ride, says he fears police will begin an unnecessary crackdown.

“If the city is out promoting a more bike friendly community and its police force says ‘We’re cracking down because of X, Y, and Z,’ those two things don’t necessarily align,” said Evans, whose rides make stops at local bars.

Wright, meanwhile, says he has learned his lesson from the crash.

“It’s not going to be me and alcohol and anything motorized again,” he said.

4 Secrets to Being Fearless: By 50 Cent

Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent aka “Fiddy”, took the world by storm in the early 2000s when Eminem heard his mixtape and decided to ‘put him on‘. After that, the rest was history. However, the most interesting part about 50’s career is that he didn’t just end up as a platinum selling artist who made money by touring the world; 50 Cent is more than just an artist. He’s a Business, he’s a brand name, he’s an entrepreneur with banks loaded with cash (and maybe some basements in New York?). Even though Eminem found him and made him into a rap superstar, it was his own skills as an entrepreneur that made him into a multi-millionaire worth $140 million in 2014 with investments in Music, Beverages, Technology, and Clothing.

So what are 50 Cent’s secrets to success? I wondered what his values and principles are that led to such immense success, and fearlessness. And, to answer that very question, PimpMyZen.net writer Claudine Chicheportiche found the 4 secrets to 50 Cent’s fearlessness!

Re-published with permission from PimpMyZen.net

How to be Fearless- 4 Lessons from 50 Cent

Author: Claudine Chicheportiche

For most of us, upping your Zen game isn’t just about living in a state of bliss and having a clear and empty mind.

You and I aren’t monks living on a mountain top, with endless days and nights to develop our inner most peace whilst we hone our spiritual mastery towards enlightenment. Hell no.

We are urbanites, dealing with a thousand and one #firstworldproblems. But still, we can work towards a kind of urban enlightenment.

I’ve coined the term Urban Enlightenment to simply mean that in spite of our super busy, crazy lives, we can still strive to have more confidence(here I mean having true confidence that comes from knowing yourself, and being totally, utterly cool with that), having less stress, and to feel amazing.

One core element which feeds into all three of these categories (more confidence, less stress, feel amazing) is fearlessness.

When you are truly confident, you are free to act fearlessly. When you are no longer full of stress, doubts and worries, you are free, and hence you are fearless. And when you are fearless, you feel truly amazing. SWEET!

So given all of this, it’s no wonder when I recently read 50 Cent and Robert Greene’s book, The 50th Law, it was a TOTAL gamechanger  for me. To be super clear, this book was actually released back in 2009, so you’ve probably already heard of it, or read it. I’m just a little late — okay like five years — to the party. But better now than never.

Even if you’re not a 50 fan please stay with me, because the insights and mindset expressed in this is book are GOLD.

Here are just four lessons on fearlessness, taken from The 50th Law:

Lesson 1. What is the 50th Law? What are the key characteristics of people who live according to this law?

The 50th Law is based on the notion that good and bad things happen to us in life, things which we don’t have much control over. But the one thing we can control, is our mindset in how we respond to these events.

… if we are able to overcome our anxieties and forge a fearless attitude towards life, something strange and remarkable can occur — that margin of control over circumstances increases … And the people who practice the 50th Law in their lives all share certain qualities- supreme boldness, unconventionality, fluidity, and a sense of urgency — that give them this unique ability to shape circumstance. (page 19)

Lesson 2. Why it doesn’t pay to be conservative, or a people pleaser.

[When you bring] your usual fears into any encounter, you narrow your options and your capacity to shape event s… Being conservative, for instance, can force you into a corner in which you are more likely to lose what you have in the long run because you also lose the capacity to quickly adapt to change. Trying so hard to please people can actually end up pushing people away — it is hard to respect someone who has such an ingratiating attitude. (page 21)

Lesson 3. Taking action in spite of your fear is the answer to being supremely powerful.

Being afraid of things is totally okay. But we can’t let our fears stop us from speaking up or taking action.

Here’s what 50 thinks:

The key to possessing this supreme power is to assume the active mode in dealing with your fears. This means entering the very arenas you normally shy away from: making the very hard decisions you have been avoiding, confronting the people who are playing power games with you, think of yourself and what you need instead of pleasing others, making yourself change the direction of your life even though such a change is the very thing you dread. (page 21)

WOW. How many people do we know like this? Doing the same thing, thinking the same ways, stuck in the same cycles because they are too afraid to make decisions and take actions to change their circumstances.

If this is you, maybe now is a good time to ask — is this how I really want to live the rest of whole life?

What fears are keeping you locked inside an invisible cage?

What life might you be able to lead, if you were to act in spite of your fears?

Lesson 4. Being unafraid to live with a sense of wonder and an open mind is essential for creating opportunities.

With time, our minds tend to close off. At some point, we feel like we know what we need to know; our opinions are certain and firm. We do this out of fear. We don’t want our assumptions about life challenged … What you need to do in life is return to that mind you possessed as a child, opening up to experience instead of closing it off. Just imagine for a day that you do not know anything, that what you believe could be completely false … See everything as a source of education … When you operate this way, you will notice that something strange happens. Opportunities will begin to fall into your lap because you are more receptive to them. Sometimes luck or serendipity is more a function of the openness of your mind. (page 40)

The stories and insights about 50 in this book are truly inspiring, but this book has nothing to do with rapping and everything to do with mindset.

So if you’d like to live in greater freedom with less fear, I seriously recommend you read this book and actively put your attention on living a more fearless life.

Hell, why not do something right now?

Now’s the perfect time to do that thing you’ve been putting off because it’s just too scary/overwhelming/unnerving/intimidating. Whatever.

Make that call. Tell that person. Look in that mirror.

Whatever is it — take action. Go hard. Be fearless.

50 would be proud (and I am too).

Disclaimer: Being fearless may not lead to buckets of cash... or can it?? Go ahead, give it a shot... BE FEARLESS, and rack up racks on racks on racks. We dare YOU

Son, 2nd Man Charged In Fatal Farmington Hills Bat Attack

FARMINGTON HILLS (WWJ/AP) – A 19-year old Farmington Hills man has been charged with first degree murder in the baseball bat beating death of his father.

Bond was denied for Tucker Robert Cipriano and 20-year-old Mitchell Jordan Young, each charged with one count of first-degree premeditated murder and one count of first-degree felony murder in the death of Robert Cipriano, killed Monday night at his family home.

In addition, each has been charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder for the beatings of Cipriano’s mother, Rosemary, and his 17-year-old brother, Salvatore Cipriano.  They’ve also been charged with armed robbery.

Both men were arraigned via video monitor Wednesday afternoon before Judge Marla E. Parker in 47th District Court. Cipriano was silent during the hearing, while broke down in hystarical tears. “I’m not guilty,” Young wailed. “I didn’t do any of this.

During the arraignment Young put his head down on the table and sobbed before entering his plea.

The two friends will remain in custody at the Oakland County Jail until a preliminary examination set for Friday morning.

Tucker Cipriano was arrested Monday, a few hours after his father was killed. His mother and brother remained hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday.

Another teen brother and an 8-year-old sister escaped without injury.

Both suspects had prior criminal records and Tucker Cipriano had recently been kicked out of his family’s house following several run-ins with police. Police said he may have returned to the home looking for money. .

Roberto Cipriano, 52, was known to many as a leader in the local educational community.  He had served as business services director for Dearborn Public Schools since 2002.  A spokesman for the district said that while there may have been typical family challenges,  no one could predict such a violent end.

Matthew Stafford Should Break Out For Detroit Lions

In his first two seasons in the NFL, Detroit Lions, Matthew Stafford has had his share of injuries. In fact, he has played in only 13 games and has missed 19 others due to those injuries. So there is good reasons for fans to be wary of him this year. Take some advice, this is the year to own him in fantasy football.

For the most part, his injuries have not been the type to say he is injury prone. His bones do not break easily and he does not tear ligaments or have concussions. His problem was that he dislocated his shoulder.

The problem with that injury is that once you dislocate your shoulder, it is always much easier to dislocate it again in the future. Stafford proved that as he dislocated his throwing shoulder a second time only two games after coming back. The common belief is that he was brought back too early. Not true! He was ready to come back when he did. It would not have mattered if he sat out another two seasons before coming back, he still could have dislocated it again on the first hit. Or the first time you fall on it wrong.

The good thing is there is a fix for that problem. It is called surgery. The doctor needs to go into the shoulder and clean things up. Tighten things up so the ligaments will not stretch out so much in the future. Matthew Stafford had this surgery. In the preseason game against the Patriots, Stafford took some good clean hard shots. One of them slammed him to the turf on that problematic shoulder. He got up and showed no ill signs.

I believe the dislocated shoulder is now behind him. Sam Bradford of the Rams had a similar surgery the year before he was drafted and he lasted all 16 games in his rookie season. I see no reason to believe that Stafford will not do the same. So the question now becomes more about how good he will be.

After all, after two seasons, Stafford already has less game experience than Bradford who was a rookie last year. So essentially, Stafford is still in his rookie season experience-wise.

First let us take a look at this years preseason. I know some fans do not like to look at preseason statistics. It is flawed, I know. He wont face the same teams. He hasn't faced defenses at full regular season game speed. Trust me, the points I am using the stats for are reasonable in this case.

Matthew Stafford completed 25 of 33 passes. That is almost 76% of his passes. What this shows is that the biggest question about him when he was drafted has been answered. He is now as accurate as any quarterback out there. Preseason or not, completing 75% of your passes is nothing less than superb.

They may have been safe passes. Screens, dumps and short slants. Which lends us to the next stat.

In the preseason, Stafford completed 8 passes for 20+ yards. He tied two others for the most 20+ yard passes and he had less attempts than they did and a higher completion% than they did. What this shows is that he was not playing it safe, but he was airing it out. Throwing the ball down field. Think about that. Almost one third of his completions were for 20 yards or more.

Another stat...

Stafford threw 5 touchdowns and did not throw even one pick. This shows he is reading the defenses very well and not being fooled.

Look at the entire picture. Matthew Stafford should finally stay healthy after having surgery to tighten everything up. He is far more accurate, willing to air it out, and does not make stupid mistakes. He has an offensive line in front of him that was the third best in the NFL for pass protection last year and one of the best group of receivers in the game. With Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson, Brandon Pettigrew, Tony Scheffler, and Jahvid Best coming out of the backfield, defenses will be very hard pressed to keep everyone covered.

Then there is the run blocking of the offensive line... or the lack there of. This makes the Detroit Lions a pass first team. The coaches will be forced to lean on the pass in hopes of it opening up the running game.

The quality of Stafford's play, mixed with his vast arsenal of play-making receivers and the coaches needing to lean on the pass, makes Matthew Stafford a very strong candidate for a huge break out season. If you are playing fantasy football, you can get him late (unless you are in a league with other Lions fans), and he could possibly be the steal of the year.

The best point of all? He will not have Ndamukong Suh coming after him.

1 comment:

  1. Nice call on Stafford he is already the second best quarterback in the NFL north with only 13 games started. The thing he has going for him is that he's had three preseasons to learn the quarterback position. If the O-line can keep him upright I see a real good season out of him.
