Estradiol is pharmacologically classified as an estrogen hormone and it is the main intracellular estrogen in human beings. At cellular levels, Estradiol is many times more powerful than its metabolites; Estriol and Estrone. There are a number of natural sources where Estradiol can be obtained but it can also be prepared synthetically into various salt forms. Estradiol undergoes very fast metabolism and due to this nature, it should be administered as a micronized oral dosage in order to adequately realize its therapeutic effects. The esterification of estradiol into either Estradiol Valerate or Estradiol Cypionate increases the time taken before it reacts which can allow for an intramuscular administration.
Estradiol is mainly used to treat female hypogonadism, to prevent osteoporosis, to relieve the symptoms of menopause and to treat various abnormalities associated with the female gonadotropic dysfunction. In specific circumstances, forms of Estrogen-like estradiol have been used to manage advanced breast cancer in both men and women and also prostatic cancer. The FDA have always allowed the marketing and use of Estrogen products ever since 1938 which was their first year of organization and since then, numerous forms of this medication have been produced and made available for the treatment of the vasomotor symptoms that are associated with menopause.
The use of Estradiol for Hormone replacement therapies has been linked with various negative cases especially an increased risk of endometrial cancer in women with an intact uterus. A combination therapy of estrogens with progestin can reduce this risk but it cannot eliminate it. Additionally, various test studies have indicated that a combination therapy using these two medications can increase a patient's risk of developing some conditions like myocardial infractions, dementia, strokes and invasive breast cancers. Because of these findings, Estrogens should be prescribed for the shortest time possible and it should be consistent with a patient's treatment goals.
The ovary is the main source of estrogen hormones in premenopausal women, it secrets about 0.07 to 0.5 mg daily which purely depends on the phase of the menstrual cycle. Estrogens then enter into the cells of responsive tissues like the hypothalamus, the pituitary glands and the breasts/female organs where it increases the rates of protein synthesis. These proteins include the DNA, RNA and other numerous proteins. Estrogens facilitate the growth and development of female sexual organs and female characteristics. They also lead to the proliferation of the endometrium, they increase cervical secretions and facilitate the toning of the uterine walls. The administration of Estrogen leads to a decrease in the production of the gonadotropin releasing hormones which causes a reduction in the secretion of the luteinizing hormones and the follicle stimulating hormones by the pituitary glands. This process can affect various results on ovulation and female reproduction.
Estrogens have very weak anabolic effects, they can accelerate epiphyseal closure and they affect the deposition of calcium in the bones. Various tests have also proven that Estrogens can prevent osteoporosis that is associated with the onset of menopause.
In men with severe prostate cancer, estrogens can help by inhibiting the hypothalamic-pituitary axis through a negative feedback effect which can inhibit some processes. Estrogens will result in a decreased production of the luteinizing hormone and decreased testosterone levels which may alternatively lower the prostate specific antigen levels and reduce the growth rates of the tumor. In the recent past, high doses of estrogen were being used to treat progressive breast cancer in both men and women but ever since the development of selective estrogen receptor modifiers, this practice was abandoned.
The products of Estradiol can be administered orally, intramuscularly, topically or vaginally.
Oral administration. Orally administered Estradiol tablets are usually micronized when they get into the body which slows down their rates of absorption and their effects on the liver. This is one of the factors that leads to the poor bioavailability of Estradiol in the body. After administration, Estradiol is quickly metabolized in the liver and the GI mucosa into Estriol and Estrone. In these forms, it can be circulated in the serum and utilized by the body. The estrogens are then distributed all over the body where they bind to the sex hormone binding globulin and the albumin as they perform their actions. After that, they are conjugated by sulfates and glucuronides into numerous other metabolites which are then excreted through the urine. The half-life of orally administered Estradiol is about 1-2 hours but other circulatory estrogens can last for longer periods.
Intramuscular administration. The two forms of estradiol that can be administered through an intramuscular administration include Estradiol Valerate and Estradiol Cypionate. These are usually given as a depot injection in an oil; formulation which is meant to greatly slow down its rates of absorption. The esterification of estradiol into these two forms is the mechanism used to increase the duration of action in this administration when compared to the administration of other aqueous forms. Cypionate has a longer duration period than Valerate which is averagely 3-6 weeks and 3-2 weeks respectively. Nevertheless, intramuscular doses should be administered at intervals of four weeks and in most cases, the dose is usually adjusted to fit a patient's needs.
Topical administration. The topical route of Estradiol administration allows for a continuous delivery estrogen because it avoids the first stages of metabolism. Estradiol is hardly metabolized in the skin so when administered through the skin, higher levels of the hormone can be realized and altered to approximate the naturally produced concentrations in the body. The administration of Estradiol through the skin utilizes a micellar non-particle technology which incorporates a 17-beta Estradiol in a soy-based oil formulation. This mechanism is designed to deliver systemic impulses of appropriate levels of Estrogen through the skin and once in the body, it is distributed, it is metabolized and excreted in the same way as that of oral administration.
Vaginal administration. The vaginal mucous membrane is a very good spot for the administration of Estradiol. An intravaginal ring can be used to deliver adequate doses of Estradiol to a patient in less than one hour. Vaginal administration also avoids the first pass metabolism which ensures that the concentration of Estradiol that is absorbed into the body is higher than through other methods of administration. Once absorbed into the body, its distribution, metabolism, and excretion occur in the same way as that of oral administration.
Estradiol is primarily indicated for relieving moderate to severe symptoms of menopause such as vaginal dryness, flashes, irritation and burning sensations. It is also indicated as a maintenance therapy for the treatment of postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis, ovarian dysfunctions, various types of ovarian cysts, female hypogonadism, atrophy of the vulva and in selected cases, as a treatment for breast cancer in both men and women.
Contraindications and precautions when using Estradiol.
Estradiol sprays and topical gels are alcohol based so they are potentially flammable. Patients are advised to avoid flames and fire until these applications have been completely absorbed.
The esters of Estradiol i.e. Valerate and Cypionate, are oil based and they should never be administered through intravenous injections. Instead, they should be intramuscularly administered.
All estrogens are contraindicated in patients with any cases of breast cancer, both known and unconfirmed.
Estrogen influences the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus so Estradiol is not recommended for patients with hypercalcemia especially that which is associated with metabolic bone diseases or tumors.
Estradiol should be used cautiously in patients with endometriosis or uterine leiomyomata/fibroids because they can accelerate the growth of fibroids.
Estradiol is contraindicated in women with undiagnosed and abnormal vaginal bleeding because this may be due to malignant growths which can lead to worsening of the situation.
Estrogens are contraindicated in any medical conditions that are associated with the presence of tumors that can respond to estrogen. It should be used with care and caution in patients with variegate hepatic porphyries since it can worsen this condition and because of some surgical procedures that can increase the risks of thromboembolism, the administration of estrogen should be discontinued for several weeks before a major surgery where possible. This can be 4-6 weeks before the surgery.
Estrogens should be used cautiously in patients with hypogonadism and other diseases of the thyroid glands. Estrogens are never indicated for infants because they promote epiphysial closure which can lead to adverse and abnormal effects on children.
Estrogens should never be administered during pregnancy because it can lead to the development of an abnormal fetus. It should also be used cautiously in lactating and breastfeeding mothers and the baby should be monitored very closely to check for any side effects and ensure safety.
Numerous studies have indicated that Estrogens can be metabolized by CYP3A4 so it can safely interact with CYP3A4 inducers or inhibitors where inevitable.
Bromocriptine is indicated for the restoration of ovarian functions and ovulation in amenorrhoeic women. Estrogens can cause amenorrhea and counteract the effects of this medication, so they should not be used together.
Estrogens increase the absorption of calcium so the interaction of Estradiol and calcium salts can be beneficial especially in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis but it is not recommended in women with nephrolithiasis or hypercalcemia.
Estrogens have been associated with elevating the levels of corticosteroid-binding globulin which may lead to increased levels of this protein circulating the system. Its clinical significance has, however, not been established.
Estrogens should never be used together with dantrolene because this might increase an individual's risk of hepatotoxicity.
There is a lot of controversy surrounding the use of Estrogens with tamoxifen but generally, it is contraindicated in most circumstances.
Raloxifene acts by blocking estrogen receptors so concurrent use is illogical.
Bosentan should not be administered together with estrogen products since it can lead to contraceptive failure. Additional methods of contraception can be incorporated for more sure results. Alternative methods of contraception should also be considered when using modafinil therapy with the administration of estrogen.
Estrogens can interfere with the pharmacological action of aromatase inhibitors so concordant use is not recommended.
Other medications that should not interact with estrogen products include; topiramate, Felbamate, Nevirapine, Exogenous thyroid treatments, Mineral oils, ursodeoxycholic acid, Nefazodone, aprepitants and fosaprepitant, Erythromycin, Systemic azole antifungals, Conivaptan and antiretroviral protein inhibitors.
It is very important to administer this medication with a lot of caution and close monitoring especially during its co-administration with contraceptives and other medications. Make sure that you inform your health service provider of all the medications that you are currently on and the drugs that you are using.
Many of the adverse reactions that have been reported from the use of Estradiol are very similar to those associated with the use of other estrogen products. These risks are potentially lower during postmenopausal administration compared to premenopausal use because of lower levels of estrogen in the body during this period. Some of its side effects can include; changes in libido, which can be positive or negative depending on your moods, vaginal discharge, vaginitis, cervicitis and changes in vaginal erosion.
Breast pains (Mastalgia), are also very common and they may be accompanied by breast enlargement, breast tenderness, breast discharge and some fibrocystic breast changes. Patients should report any breast changes to their health care providers so that they can have physical examinations to rule out any possible tumors.
Other effects of estradiol can include; abdominal/stomach pains, bloating, vomiting and nausea. Venous thrombosis, myocardial infarction, strokes and pulmonary embolism are also some conditions that can be developed with prolonged use.
Estradiol and other estrogens can cause fluid and sodium retention in the body which might lead to mild weight gain and peripheral edema.
A severe headache after administration can be a sign/ a warning of a serious medical effect such as a stroke or retinal problems. This relationship is not clearly defined but in a case of a severe headache, a patient should contact health care services immediately.
Special care and close monitoring should be given to patients with a history of depression since estrogens can worsen this condition.
During treatment, some women can experience tenderness, swelling or bleeding of the gums which can be associated with gingivitis, for this reason, proper medical attention should be sought.
Estrogen therapy can worsen endometrial hyperplasia. A combination therapy of estrogen and progestin can increase a patient's risk of developing urinary incontinence especially in women with a history of heart diseases.
This drug should be applied daily at the same time to a clean, dry and intact part of the skin preferably on the upper arms or shoulders. All instructions should be followed on administration according to your physician. You should never mix this medication with deodorants or other products, always allow it to dry off completely before putting on your clothes.
In case you miss a dose, make sure that you apply it as soon as you remember and never take two doses or an overdose. Keep all your medicine away from the reach of children.
The dosage form available for Estradiol in our pharmacy is a transdermal cream but our pharmacy can compound this medication in any other form and dosage that will work best for any patient. For more information about this medication and its administration, feel free to contact us.

The Washington College community turned out in force for the Center for Environment and Society's annual Cardboard Boat Race on Saturday, Sept. 23. They were rewarded with a beautiful day, an array of activities and exhibits by the CES staff and students, and music by the High and Wides. New President Landgraf went straight from his inauguration in the morning to the race and his first official duty — as a judge for the Cardboard Boat Race.
Seven contestants lined up for the three-o'clock start, all home-made concoctions of duct tape, cardboard boxes, ingenuity and plenty of hope. So it was in a way fitting that the first across the finish line was A Boat Full of Hope, whose crew handily out-paddled the competition. Second place was a hard slog, with the Minnow beating out the Student Life entry by a slim margin.
Despite the ambitions of the cardboard shipwrights, several of the entries rapidly took on water, barely making it to the midway buoy before sinking. Their sailors swam, valiantly pushing their waterlogged crafts to shore. There were "spotters" in kayaks and other boats located in several strategic places, ready to rescue any fatigued swimmers. Fortunately their rescue services were not needed this race. And all participants were wearing life-jackets just in case. The crowd and announcer John Schratweiser cheered all them on, with especially enthusiastic cheers for the sinking craft and their occupants. Among those who ended up swimming to shore were the crew of the popular favorite, the Goose, named for the school mascot — which ironically also took the judge's award for Best Design.
A Boatful of Hope had the slogan "All you Need Is Love" and was signed by numerous friends and well-wishers in the manner of a cast on a broken arm. Their good wishes must have worked (along with the duct-tape) as Hope won the race!
The S.S. Minnow
The boat Mermaid – loudly cheered around the course by the mother of one of the sailors – took the award for Team Spirit, while the Jurassic Park themed T. Wrecksosaurus took the prize for best theme. Honorable Mention went to the aptly-named There's Room for Two.
The T. Wrecksosaurus crew brought a mascot – a friendly dinosaur who happily posed for pictures with audience members. In between selfies, the dino danced, chased his boat crew – who were all wearing explorers' pith helmets – nuzzled up to unsuspecting spectators, and nibbled at people's heads and arms.
Spectators could also take part in a 50-50 raffle, a drawing for a ride on the CES's oceanographic boat Callinectes, or a private tour of the CES's research stations on Chino Farms.
Another popular attraction was a mastodon-spearing event, with participants using a special thrower to launch spears at a model mastodon on the far side of Wilmer Park. Sponsored by the Anthropology Club, the event highlighted the skill and strength needed by ice-age hunters to bring down their prey. Most of those who gave it a try were barely able to throw their spears half-way down the course where their spears would land near signs with messages like "Become a Vegetarian," "Clovis but no Cigar," or "Don't worry! Bugs have protein, too!" The final sign, for those few whose spears actually reached the target, declaimed "You've MastoDONE it!"
Each participant got three throws using the atlatl, an Aztec spear-thrower, to determine if they were hunters or gatherers!
The High and Wides provided lively music all afternoon.

After almost 10 years in the wilderness, TVR is
back in British hands
after Surrey-based entrepreneur Les Edgar bought the company "lock, stock and barrel" from Nikolai Smolensky. But who is Les Edgar and what are his plans? We called up to find out.
Edgar made his money as a computer games developer and now runs a country house estate. He freely admits he has no experience in the car industry, but he has serious form as a petrolhead. In 2002, he backed Aston Martin's re-entry into Le Mans for no reason "other than I wanted to see Astons back where they should be - in GT racing."
As for the lack of an auto industry background, maybe we shouldn't be worried. Peter Wheeler didn't have one either when he bought the company in 1989.
He says the sale involved "a substantial amount" of items from the Blackpool factory but also he said wasn't about to resurrect the 2004 line-up, even though he could: "It's time to move on". We still don't know what he's going to make, when it'll be made or who he'll partner with. On these and many other questions he's staying tight lipped until the project is much further forward.
"We don't want… to carry on the bullsh*t that for years and years has been surrounding the marque."
He says we shouldn't worry: "I don't think anyone's going to be disappointed with what we do."
1959 Grantura shows how far back TVR goes
What does TVR mean to you?
"It probably means same as it means to many people on PistonHeads. It's a very famous British sports car brand that's well known for its power, for its slightly suspect styling, but nevertheless unique and fantastic in many ways.
"A lot of people are surprised to hear it's been around since 1947. It epitomises the British sports car manufacturing industry, from the early 30s when a lot of people did a lot of these companies on a shoestring. Sadly a lot of those marques have been swallowed up or disappeared altogether. TVR fortunately managed to make it into the new millennium, and people are still very much aware of it. It's slightly ironic that some of the best cars where produced right at the point it was decided it should implode. If you ask what it means to me personally, I don't want to go into that because that gives a flavor of what I'm about to do next with it."
Have you owned TVRs in the past?
Which cars?
"That I'm not going to reveal. We are very conscious of that fact that anything that we say before we're ready to say it could easily be misconstrued.
"Even simple things like, I owned such and such a car. People start surmising that's the sort of thing that I'm going to look to build in the future. It sounds minor, but what we don't want to do is to carry on the bullsh*t that for years and years has been surrounding the marque, we want to stop that now. Our target was to bring TVR home and then to finalise a plan that will reintroduce the brand in a meaningful way.
"I don't think anyone's going to be disappointed with what we do. Obviously not everyone will agree with it, but others will think it's the best thing since sliced bread, but hopefully there's enough of the latter to make us into a profitable car manufacturer."
Wheeler built the TVRs he wanted, says Edgar
You know the saying, to make a small fortune in the British sports car industry you start with a large one. Do you have a magic formula to dodge that fate?
"Yes. The magic formula is 'get it right'. Everything you do in life or manufacture in life is governed by some compromise or other. It's a question of compromising things that you're prepared to compromise and concentrate on the ones that should never be compromised. I may see things that can be compromised that other followers of the marque may not agree with. But of course something has to give somewhere otherwise we end up with a million-pound car."
It's an uphill struggle even for people who seemingly get it spot on. Is it something that worries you?
"You'd be foolish not to be worried about getting it right. We won't get it 100 per cent right. We'll get it right from our perspective, but it may not be right from other people's perspective. I think a lot of people who manufacture cars sometimes lose sight of what they should be doing and get rather embroiled in making something for a market that isn't their market.
"That's the growing pains of small car manufacturers. If you don't focus on your core market, if you decide to get bigger, that's the time you've got a big potential for screwing up. TVR has a very specific clientele. Of course we all like to think we can broaden our markets in order to survive, in the way Aston Martin have done. In the process sometimes some of the finer points are lost in its brand meaning."
Edgar is clearly focused on TVR's DNA
Who do you admire in the industry. Who's got it right in your view?
"Land Rover is getting it right. There's a great British marque. There are any number of other manufacturers making similar cars, but they haven't managed to get that unique thing that Land Rover has. You can turn up anywhere in a Land Rover, regardless of the age and its kind of acceptable. From a shabby old Series I to a brand new Range Rover. They've remained true to their brand values yet they have traversed different markets and different countries."
How can you apply what they've done to TVR?
"The fundamental lesson is to protect the brand. That doesn't mean you can't change it, but it does mean the DNA is all important. I've got a very personal and clear interpretation of what the brand stands for, but it may not be everybody's."
Some horrible things have happened to the brand over the last 10 years. Is that a problem, or can you reset the button to 2004?
"I wouldn't dream of doing that. I'd like reset the button to 2013. We are what we are. We'll be judged by the steps we take. I can't do anything about what happened in the interim. All I can do is move forward, put my money where my mouth is and be judged on the results of that. This not about going back, this is about going forward.
"It's not about looking back to 2004 – there's nothing wrong with the cars from 2004, they were fantastic cars. But it's time to move on."
But you couldn't even build those cars again, even if you wanted to, right?
"Why couldn't we build them again? Of course we could. We own everything to do with the cars, we bought everything lock stock and barrel. We can build what we want to build really. The point is not that. The point is we wouldn't want to relaunch those cars. We're not building a company on nostalgia. We're building on what people want to buy. And we understand what people probably want to buy has got a lot to do with the DNA and what they could buy before.
"It's not going to be the same, of course it's not. In the way the Sagaris wasn't the same as the original Grantura. But it has elements of that carried through."
What did the sale include?
"Everything. I'm not going to tell what they are, but yes there are a substantial amount of mechanical items, they cover a wide breadth of parts. We bought everything that was left of TVR."
Rebirth for Sagaris not on the agenda
Do you have
the jigs and moulds
"I can't say – it's covered by confidentiality. The agreement signed by myself and Nikolai contains some stringent confidentiality provisions."
What is the heart of TVR for you? Is it the engine? The styling? The brand itself?
"I think it's the people that buy them. We're looking a demographic that is probably different from what it was 15-20 years. We build cars that hopefully people want to buy, and they may not be the same type of people that bought them 10 years ago. At the base of it the DNA has got to be the same thing running through."
What is that DNA?
"People's view would I suspect be different. They might say Britishness, they might say unique, they might say handbuilt, bonkers mad. We all know what TVR means. You see on your site all the time. You've only got to read one of the 40-odd pages and you'll get a fair idea of what TVR means. And it's fairly consistent.
"Bear in mind that an enthusiast on his fourth TVR is not necessarily the same as the person who's going out to buy a sports car because they don't like the look of a Lotus and or the idea of a Caterham."
You've got to look outside the core customer base then?
"Yeah I think you do. Again If you make it too broad then you will compromise some stuff, so I think deciding on who you'd like to buy your car is one way of look at it. I don't think Peter Wheeler decided who he will sell his cars to. I think in all likelihood he said, 'I'm going to build this'. Build it and they will come. But who 'they' are is only proven when they've build the thing in the first place.
"He put a lot of him into it. That's often the hallmark of small companies, led by one vision, right or wrong."
"It won't be an SUV" one of the few givens
What's your car background?
"Aston Martin racing was something I was passionate about. And getting that back on the track at Le Mans [in 2002] was my brainchild, something I wanted to achieve. It didn't have an purpose other than I want to see Astons back where they should be in GT racing.
"I have other mechanical qualifications that will help me in the road ahead, but not specifically in automotive manufacturing."
That would mean going into partnership with someone. Have you established the ties you need?
"I can't tell you."
What's next?
"We have things worked out. It's just that we haven't announced it yet. We haven't shared any information with anybody outside of our board and don't intend too. Our plans for how when and who will not be revealed until we're ready to do that.
"We do have a very clear idea of what we're doing, we do have plans in place."
What made you decide at this point in your life that you wanted to own a car company?
"I've always been passionate about cars, so an opportunity has come along to rescue a great British marque and so something with it. Who wouldn't be interested? If you've got petrol in your veins you've got it, so then it's only a question of money and time. And having the right people with me, which I have, on the board."
Where would you like to see yourselves in five years' time?
"That's a hard question. In any investment you look at the end game, certainly in the motor industry my impressions are the end game is usually a long way down the road. If you're going to make TVRs I can't see it being anything other than a will to make cars that people love. Achieve that and you've got everything.
"I guess we'd like to think in five years time we were on the road to achieving that."
Will you be using your own engines?
"It depends on what we build in the first place. There have been assumptions that we're going to build something as there was before. We're clearly not going to be building wind turbines and we are going to stick to an automotive theme with anything we do. But I couldn't give you a heads up on any mechanical aspect of what we do other than it's likely to have four wheels and hopefully the doors won't fall off."
And it won't be an SUV…
"I wouldn't like to say. Who knows? You must never enter into these ventures without having a sense of adventure. However that's not true to the DNA. As they say, never say never, but if you look at other people's attempts at SUVs you'd have to think long and hard to up against the likes of Land Rover. I can't imagine it'll be on our radar any time soon."
Do you have ambitions as far away as China?
[Laughs] "Take over the world, that's my ambition. If China happened to fall by the wayside while I was doing it, so be it. Again this is a very carefully thought out business proposition. There's a lot of passion here, which you need if you're going to build great cars. But this is huge undertaking. No matter how small the production line, no matter how few the cars."

Share the joy
I get asked some variant of this all the time. "What do you do on your day off?" "Do you still take pictures for fun?" "Do you carry a camera with you everywhere?".
And of course the answers are "lots of things, yes and….no".
But I did take a camera with me on holiday this year. Since I work all through the summer I generally sneak a holiday when I can get it and that often means over Christmas.
And since I use the latest, fanciest, heaviest, and most expensive camera kit available, it's sometimes nice to kick back and use something a little less serious. Like this. One of my first film pictures in a while. Shot on a £20 plastic toy camera.
It's nice to relax when you're on holiday.

Anyone who has ever watched a movie or television show set in North America's "Old West" has seen a cowboy hat. A cowboy hat is a wide-brimmed hat that traditionally was worn by ranchers and cowboys as protection from sun and rain. In modern times, the cowboy hat still is worn by working ranchers and cowboys. It also is commonly worn by equestrians in Western riding disciplines, even if they never herd cows. Many other people wear cowboy hats as a Western lifestyle or fashion statement, even though they might never have been on the back of a horse.
There are a couple of stories about how the cowboy hat might have originated. One theory is that it evolved from the Mexican sombrero, adapted by the first cattle ranchers who had come west from the eastern United States. Another belief is that it was invented by John B. Stetson on a trip to the west during the mid 1800s. The classic Stetson hat is one of the most popular brands of cowboy hat on the market.
Cowboy hats come in a myriad of materials, colors and styles. They are made of wool felt, fur, straw and leather. Cowboy hat colors in early Western movies often included black and white, with black designating the bad guys and white the good guys. More traditional colors today are brown, black and tan, but hats come in just about every color imaginable, especially for women.
One of the most distinctive styles of cowboy hat is the ten gallon hat. Like the origins of the cowboy hat itself, there is no single theory for how the name of this hat evolved. Taller than other cowboy hats, with a wider brim, the ten gallon moniker is sometimes said to have come about because of the amount of water the hat can hold, although even the largest ten gallon hats don't hold anywhere near ten gallons. Another theory is that the name came from the Spanish word "galón," which means "braid" and refers to a hat with braiding on the brim.
Cowboy helmet hats designed for safety are made to protect the heads of riders in the event of falls from horses. These helmet hats buckle under the chin to ensure that they stay in place. Safety hats in cowboy styles also are made for construction sites and other jobs that require wearing hard hats. Cowboy helmet hats and safety hats usually are manufactured to the government safety standards for their respective uses.

What are some tips for choosing a ladies cowboy hat? How is it supposed to fit and what would be a good price to pay? I have always thought that was a really cute look but I have never had a hat of my own. I am going horseback riding this weekend and I think it is time I dressed the part.
Post 2
There are a lot of places that have cowboy hats for sale but not many that have really quality hats for sale. You will probably need to go to a western store or even a dedicated hat store to find one.
The cheap hats you see are made from poor materials, fit incorrectly and frequently fall apart quickly. If you just want a costume hat that might work, but for people that really take pride in their hat, and their are a lot of them, only quality will do.
Post 1
My dad wore a cowboy hat every single day of his adult life. That and a pair of leather boots. It was his look and whenever I picture him in my mind it is always with a big hat on top of his head.
If he was not swimming or engaged in some other activity where he needed his head uncovered that hat was always on. I rarely saw his hair. He grew up in Texas, and even though we lived in Kansas he liked the idea of Western dress and really went for it.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

I went to Singapore last week for some retail therapy. We stayed at our usual, the Mandarin Orchard (used to be Mandarin Meritus) Hotel. It's our favorite because it's right smack in the middle of Orchard Road, beside Takashimaya and across Topshop's flagship store in Knightsbridge (where I went wild).
I heard it was raining in Singapore so I wore my trusty boots to keep my feet safe from the rain (parang pusa lang). I only brought one pair of shoes, a bag and a couple of really light clothes because the key to a successful shopping trip to a country like Singapore is to PACK LIGHT. Get rid of all your chunky accessories and heels. You're bound to buy a couple along the way anyway. Another tip, don't bring clothes for your last day. You can just wear some of the new clothes you bought from there.
Korean brand blazer | Topshop dress | Schu boots
Balenciaga bag | Zara belt | Michael Kors watch | From Vietnam gold earrings
Hype this look on Lookbook.nu here.
Do you want me to recommend a few restaurants in Singapore on my next blog entry? Let me know! :)

BACE1 inhibition induces a specific cerebrospinal fluid β-amyloid pattern that identifies drug effects in the central nervous system. PLoS One. 2012;7(2):e31084. PubMed.
Please login to recommend the paper.
This article by Mattsson et al. is authored by an outstanding group, which investigated the effects of BACE1 inhibitors on Aβ peptide forms in media secreted from cultured neurons and in CSF after in-vivo treatment of dogs. Interestingly, the data suggest that the BACE1 inhibitors result in an altered Aβ peptide pattern, with an increase in the ratio of Aβ5-40:Aβ1-34. However, several aspects of the study should be carefully considered. Firstly, the wide range of dog ages, and the few number of dogs per group, make conclusions from the data difficult, since it is known that Aβ levels in CSF differ depending on the age of the dog (Head et al., 2010). Secondly, because a cocktail of protease inhibitors was not included in sample preparations, it is not known if the profiles of Aβ peptides observed are from the endogenous condition or if they became degraded during the in-vitro methods. Thirdly, use of standards for quantitative mass spectrometry is typical in the field, but standards were not evident in this study. Fourthly, the cell culture data reflect only Aβ produced in the constitutive, and not regulated, secretory pathway; since a major portion of Aβ is released from the regulated secretory pathway, which utilizes cathepsin B for Aβ production (Klein et al., 2009), nothing can be inferred regarding the role of cathepsin B in producing Aβ from the study's finding that an inhibitor of cathepsin B had no effect on constitutive Aβ secretion. Finally, the authors should indicate whether they, or other groups, have data indicating that BACE1 inhibitors improve memory deficits, the critical goal of Alzheimer's therapeutics. It will be of interest for the authors to continue these studies to examine these important features of Aβ research.

The study by Mattsson et al. provides clear and important evidence that specific generation of Aβ5-x is a general phenomenon under the condition of BACE1 inhibition. The authors emphasize that the Aβ pattern may be useful in monitoring the in-vivo effects of BACE1 inhibitors. However, it remains an open question by what mechanism Aβ5-x is produced.
In our previous studies (Takeda et al., 2004; Murayama et al., 2007), we demonstrated that neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells expressing the caspase-cleaved form of amyloid precursor protein (APP) lacking the C-terminal 31 amino acids preferentially produce Aβ5-40/42. We showed that treatment of the cells with TAPI-I, which can inhibit α-secretase, decreases Aβ5-40 and increases Aβ1-40, suggesting that α-secretase-like proteases are involved in the generation of Aβ5-40/42. We additionally observed that treatment of SH-SY5Y cells expressing wild-type APP with a BACE1 inhibitor, OM99-2, decreased Aβ1-40 with an increase of Aβ5-40, consistent with the results by Mattsson et al. Therefore, inhibition of BACE1 may lead to the distinct processing of APP between Phe4 and Arg5, possibly mediated by α-secretase-like proteases.
Although it is not clear whether Aβ5-x has a pathological role, our previous data indicate that Aβ5-x is particularly deposited in intermediate vessels with amyloid angiopathy in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains. The findings by Mattsson et al. imply that clinical application of BACE1 inhibitors to AD patients could induce the generation of Aβ5-x in the brain, which might influence the pathological processes. Thus, the pathophysiological property of this N-terminally truncated Aβ species needs further clarification.

CHICAGO — The F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, said on Friday that the additional scrutiny and criticism of police officers in the wake of highly publicized episodes of police brutality may have led to an increase in violent crime in some cities as officers have become less aggressive.
With his remarks, Mr. Comey lent the prestige of the F.B.I., the nation's most prominent law enforcement agency, to a theory that is far from settled: that the increased attention on the police has made officers less aggressive and emboldened criminals. But he acknowledged that there is so far no data to back up his assertion and that it may be just one of many factors that are contributing to the rise in crime, like cheaper drugs and an increase in criminals who are being released from prison.
"I don't know whether that explains it entirely, but I do have a strong sense that some part of the explanation is a chill wind that has blown through American law enforcement over the last year," Mr. Comey said in a speech at the University of Chicago Law School.
Mr. Comey's remarks caught officials by surprise at the Justice Department, where his views are not shared at the top levels. Holding the police accountable for civil rights violations has been a top priority at the department in recent years, and some senior officials do not believe that scrutiny of police officers has led to an increase in crime. While the department had no immediate comment on Friday, several officials privately fumed at Mr. Comey's suggestion.
Among the nation's law enforcement officials, there is sharp disagreement over whether there is any credence to the so-called Ferguson effect, which refers to the protests that erupted in the summer of 2014 in Ferguson, Mo., over a police shooting.
In Oakland, Calif., for example, homicides are on the rise after two years of decline. But shootings are down, and the overall crime rate is about the same, said Oakland's police chief, Sean Whent. "Our officers are very, very sensitive to the climate right now, but I haven't seen any evidence to say our officers aren't doing their jobs," Chief Whent said.
In Washington, homicides are also up, but violent crime and crime over all are down, said Lt. Sean Conboy, a police spokesman. "Trying to correlate it to a Ferguson effect, I don't believe is appropriate," Lieutenant Conboy said.
After civil rights leaders and the Justice Department accused the Seattle Police Department of discriminatory policing and excessive force, the number of officer-instigated stops declined and crime ticked upward, said Kathleen O'Toole, the police chief.
Chief O'Toole said it was up to police leaders to insist on reversing that trend. The critiques made the department better, she said. Crime is down this year, and her city has hosted police officials from places such as Baltimore wanting to understand why.
"There's never been as much scrutiny on police officers as there is now," Chief O'Toole said. "We should embrace it."
But Mr. Comey said that he had been told by many police leaders that officers who would normally stop to question suspicious people are opting to stay in their patrol cars for fear of having their encounters become worldwide video sensations. That hesitancy has led to missed opportunities to apprehend suspects, he said, and has decreased the police presence on the streets of the country's most violent cities.
"I've been told by a senior police leader who urged his force to remember that their political leadership has no tolerance for a viral video," Mr. Comey said, adding that many leaders and officers whom he had spoken to said they were afraid to address the issue publicly.
"Lives are saved when those potential killers are confronted by a police officer, a strong police presence and actual, honest-to-goodness, up-close 'What are you guys doing on this corner at 1 o'clock in the morning' policing," Mr. Comey said. "We need to be careful it doesn't drift away from us in the age of viral videos, or there will be profound consequences."
But investigations by the Justice Department have given weight to the loudest criticisms of police behavior in Ferguson and elsewhere. Those inquiries have found that many officers unfairly singled out African-Americans for stops and arrests, and too often used force that was unjustified. Videos of deadly encounters with the police in cities such as Cleveland, New York and North Charleston, S.C., have fueled that criticism.
More than his predecessors, Mr. Comey has used his position as one of the nation's top law enforcement officials to bring attention to issues that state and local police departments are confronting. It is not clear what impact he will be able to have on the issue. He said that the remedies to the problem were not clear, and that law enforcement authorities needed to have better data about crime and shootings involving police officers.
Mr. Comey, who was in Chicago for the annual conference of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, plans to address the issue with law enforcement leaders.
In February, Mr. Comey delivered an unusually candid speech at Georgetown University about the difficult relationship between the police and African-Americans. Some officers, he said, scrutinize minorities more closely using a mental shortcut that "becomes almost irresistible and maybe even rational by some lights" because black men are arrested at much higher rates than white men.
Mr. Comey said that without more reliable data, the task of identifying trends and remedies to fix them is far more challenging. He said state and local law enforcement officials were increasingly open to providing the F.B.I. with better data so it can more accurately chart trends.
" 'Data' is a dry word, but we need better data," Mr. Comey said. "And people tend to tune out when you start to talk about it, but it's important, because it gives us the full picture of what's happening."

Call to Censure Bush Is Answered by a Mostly Empty Echo
So says the New York Times in the headline for it's report on Feingold's censure hearing. Let's see which Dems on the Judiciary Committee avoided saying anything at the hearing: Kennedy, Feinstein, Durbin, Biden, Kohl and Schumer. In fact, other than Kohl(who, the Journal Sentinel tells us, wandered in for a few minutes), this bunch didn't even show, leaving us with Russ and the Senator from the People's Commune of Vermont.
Maybe the rest of the Dems on the Committee forgot their Congressional ID pins. Too bad Cynthia McKinney wasn't around to run interference through security.
Maybe they all just took a long weekend. The integrity of the Republic may be at stake and all, but the Final Four starts today.
Or maybe they just saw the whole thing as the political equivalent of Mad Cow disease.

Find out How to Dodge the Flu Without a Shot.
The No shot Flu Remedy and answer the age old question, Flu Shot or Not?
Every year the flu season arrives like a blanket spread across the nation. The flu shot that was engineered for a virus 2 years ago is metered out with little or adverse results. This happens because viruses mutate every 17 days and the vaccine built 2 years ago now has many generations of virus that are resistant to the old batch of flu shots that are given this year.
The CDC has admitted that this year's flu shot probably won't protect you from the flu,
which raises the question, did it ever? The truth is that the flu shot may not ever protect you but Big Pharma has this huge inventory they built two years ago and need to recoup their losses.
The shots are largely given free to us but the government has to pay Big Pharma for them. We turn into renewable Guinea pigs and Big Pharma makes big profits.
There is no single virus that causes the flu, because of the rapid mutations of viruses, the flu shot may never really be protecting you, and therefore there is no one flu vaccine.
Natural remedies for the flu are always preferred and cause less havoc in our system than the man made vaccine the Pharmacy engineered as a drug in a needle.
There are several Flu Shot Alternatives. Here is a list of the top 5 flu prevention remedies:
#1. Colloidal silver
#2. Vitamin D, 10,000 iu a day,
Influenza microbes are here year around. Because we get less sunshine on our bare skin in the winter, we produce less Vitamin D, natural source of D3 is the absorption of UVB rays from the sun on your skin which is critical for the immune system to fight off the flu, so we must supplement with Vitamin D in the winter months.
#3. Vitamin C 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams a day
#4. Sleep at least 7 hours a night when flu symptoms prevail
#5. Oregano oil, (neat applied to soles of feet,)
and other supplements such as; Zinc, (whole food such as zinc liver chelate™) 10mg a day, Green Tea, Lemon Balm, Echinacea, elderberry better than Tamiflu, Liquorice, Lomatium Dissectum, Ginger, & Shiitake mushrooms.
Minimize sugar consumption, eat more garlic and onion, reduce stress in your life and exercise more.
Consume more probiotic foods and supplements such as raw milk, raw cheese, fermented foods, and water kefir/milk kefir.
The #1 natural Remedy for the flu according to Natural News is Colloidal Silver!
Small wonder that many doctors, scientist, Chiropractors and health professions recommend Colloidal Silver. These doctors, & many dentist, veterinarians and chiropractors all say colloidal silver works for them:
Dr. Mercola, Dr OZ, Dr. Gerry Lemole, (Dr Oz's father-in-law) Cardiologist,
Dr Sherry Rogers MD, Dr Loren Martin, professor emeritus, medical physiology, OSU, Dr. Josh Axe DC, Dr. Robert C. Beck, D.Sc., Dr. Bruce West, DC. Here is a 2 min video that helps explain colloidal silver.
Please like, and share this video with your family and friends.
There are only two methods of commercial production of colloidal silver. We offer both methods of colloidal Silver.
Mild Protein (oldest form 115 yrs + most tested)
High Voltage (newest process, about 25 years old)

Letters illuminate Island's early ties to Scotland
Apr 12 2012
BC Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Ida?Chong has received reproductions of historic documents from Scotland Cabinet Secretary for Culture and External Affairs Fiona Hyslop. Two letters, recently discovered in the National Records of Scotland, were written in 1848 and 1849 by Capt. Walter Colquhoun Grant who settled on Vancouver Island.Photograph by: Supplied photo, B.C. Government, timescolonist.com (April 2012)
Rare letters by Vancouver Island's first independent European settler and landowner in what's now known as Sooke, have been published for the first time by the Scottish government.
Two letters, dated 1848 and 1849, detail Capt. Walter Colquhoun Grant's plans for Vancouver Island, where he bought 200 acres of land, sought permission to name it "Mullachard" after his lord's estate in his homeland and tried to find new recruits for the colony.
Grant was the first European settler on the Island not connected to the Hudson's Bay Company, which established Fort Victoria in 1843.
The National Archives of Scotland recently published Grant's letters online for the first time, and Fiona Hyslop, the Scottish cabinet secretary for culture and external affairs, presented the B.C. government with a copy at the legislature Tuesday.
"These letters show a very personal connection to Scotland and Vancouver, particularly Vancouver Island," Hyslop said in an interview.
"I thought this was a precious document telling an important story about our connections."
Grant is considered responsible for introducing the game of cricket to the region, by providing cricket gear to local schools at the time.
He's less favourably known for importing Scotch broom from Hawaii. The invasive weed has aggressively spread over much of the Island and West Coast, choking out natural vegetation in its path.
The release of the two letters are "absolutely wonderful" for historians and the public, said Jan Peterson, a Nanaimo resident who recently authored the book Kilts on the Coast: The Scots who Built B.C.
"I wasn't even aware these letters existed," Peterson said.
"He was our very first independent settler. All of the others that came at the time were hired by the Hudson's Bay Company. He was a really important person in the progression of Vancouver Island becoming a colony."
Peterson's book outlines how Scots, starting with Grant, came to the Island to manage the Hudson's Bay Company's business in the fur trade and Nanaimo-area coal mining.
Sir James Douglas, who later became governor of the colony of Vancouver Island and then B.C., possessively controlled the land near Fort Victoria and forced Grant to buy 200 acres "as far away as possible from the fort," said Peterson.
Grant bought land near Sooke, which he sold to John Muir in 1853.
Archivists in the National Records of Scotland only recently discovered the Vancouver Island letters.
It's possible there are more records related to Vancouver Island, and Hyslop said she would help local researchers access Scotland's archives to search out new local material.

2011 was an interesting year for many of us. For me, 2011 brought some significant changes to my life – most importantly, I left the beach and moved downtown, sold my old condo and I took up flying. I met some incredible people/clients/friends and got to visit Indianapolis(went to the centennial Indy 500), Chicago (witnessed the rainiest day in Chicago history – 6.91 inches) and Austin(Franklin's BBQ and the Salt Lick) and I went on my first cruise.
Professionally, I had one of my best years. I was lucky enough to complete 29 transactions, totaling in over $8.5 million in volume($8.577M for those who are
counting) and I did a handful of rentals as well. I was the #1 agent at Windermere Signature Properties, in terms of units sold(including all teams). In the last two years, I've sold over $17M in real estate and hope to improve this year.
Thank you to everyone – friends, family, clients and coworkers – who made last year so memorable. I appreciate your trust, support and loyalty. Thank you.
If you know anyone who might need my help buying, selling or leasing real estate in San Diego, please let me know. I would love your referrals. This year, I hope to spend more time on my blog, sharing my knowledge and opinions of San Diego real estate. I may not always be right, but I'll always give you my honest opinion. Thank you to everyone who has gotten me this far and I look forward to working with those of you who I have yet to meet! Happy New Year.

The NAACP Legal Defense Fund (LDF) filed a federal lawsuit today to allow a Dothan activist to resume his campaign to register eligible voters in Alabama's prisons.
Prison Commissioner Richard Allen had stopped the voter registration drive about two weeks ago after complaints from Alabama Republicans. State GOP Chairman Mike Hubbard had raised the possibility of voter fraud and other issues after groups led by the Rev. Kenneth Glasgow began registering inmates to vote. Nearly 80 filled out registration forms in two days.
In announcing the lawsuit, Legal Defense Fund president and director-counsel John Payton said, "With less than a month before the close of voter registration in Alabama, the commissioner is effectively denying the franchise to eligible voters. This is an egregious attempt to hamper the democratic process in the State of Alabama."
Allen, appointed by GOP Gov. Bob Riley, said he had stopped the registration drive because of a section in the state code that prohibits using state-owned property to promote or advance candidates for election. He also added that his department also did not want to invite a situation ''where perhaps dozens of volunteers or even the candidates themselves will show up at a prison to register potential voters.''
The goal of Glasgow's campaign was to get the inmates to request absentee ballots and cast them in the general election Nov. 4.

Margaret Singer on Effects of Getting Out:
(non-comprehensive, of course!)
Why it's hard to leave.
- Deception in the recruitment process and throughout membership
- Debilitation, because of the hours, the degree if commitment, the psychological pressures, and the inner constriction and strife.
- Dependency, as a result of being cut off from the outside world in many ways
- Dread, because of beliefs instilled by the cult that a person who leaves will find no real life on the outside
- Desensitization, so that things that once have troubled them no longer do (for example, learning that money collected from fund-raising is supporting the leader's lavish lifestyle rather than the cause for which it was given, or seeing children badly abused or even killed.
Cult Indoctrinee Syndrome
Psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric social workers dealing with cult members suggested behavioral changes they labeled the cult indoctrinee syndrome. These changes included:
- Sudden, drastic alteration of the individual's value hierarchy, including abandonment of previous academic and career goals. These changes are sudden and catastrophic, rather than the gradual ones that result form maturation or education.
- Reduction of cognitive flexibility and adaptability. The cult member substitutes stereotyped cult responses for her or his own.
- Narrowing and blunting of affect. Love feelings are repressed. The cult member appears emotionally flatter and less vital than before.
- Regression of behavior to childlike levels. The follower becomes dependent on the cult leader and accepts the leader's decisions uncritically.
- Physical changes. These changes often include weight loss and deterioration in physical appearance and expression.
- Possible pathological symptoms. Such symptoms can include altered states of consciousness.

Drug Possession Lawyer Asbury Park NJ
Have You Been Arrested For Possession of Marijuana, or Possession of Prescription Drugs in Asbury Park?
Drug charges are very serious and can result in a lengthy State Prison Sentence. If you plead guilty or are found guilty of a drug charge, you could suffer expensive fines, probation, a loss of your driver's license, County Jail and/or State Prison. If you have been arrested and received a summons or complaint for a drug charge in Asbury Park Township, New Jersey, or any other municipality in New Jersey, it is essential that you hire a well-versed and experienced Asbury Park Township, New Jersey criminal defense attorney. My law firm is conveniently located just a few miles from the Asbury Park Municipal Court, and I have appeared on cases of this nature in the Asbury Park Municipal Court. I have also handled cases that arose in the Asbury Park Court and were transferred to the Monmouth County Superior Court. Asbury Park Police, Monmouth County Sheriffs' Officers and New Jersey State Police have the authority to charge anyone for possession of any illegal drug or substance.
Possession of Marijuana Charges or Paraphernalia Charges.
The Asbury Park Township Municipal Court has the authority to handle possession of marijuana cases involving less than 50 grams of marijuana and/or paraphernalia charges. Sometimes more serious drug charges can be downgraded and remanded to the Asbury Park Township Municipal Court if the Prosecutor's Office sees fit.
These types of possession of marijuana or paraphernalia charges result from traffic stops, searches of your person or property incident to arrest, house parties, etc. Paraphernalia are typically described as rolling papers, bongs, pipes, grinders, bats, etc. The penalties for disorderly person marijuana possession or paraphernalia can be significant, including fines and surcharges in excess of $1000.00, loss of driving privileges, a record and, in some cases, six months jail. They can also lead to deportation if you are illegal or forfeiture of your public job if you work in government Typically, first time offenders may be eligible for a diversionary program, such as a conditional discharge if you are in municipal court or pretrial intervention (PTI in Superior Court) if you have in excess of 50 grams of marijuana and/or are intending to distribute same.
If you have been arrested and charged with possession of marijuana in Asbury Park Township, or else where in New Jersey, it is imperative that you have an experienced Asbury Park drug possession lawyer. These cases have a variety of defenses that only an attorney will be familiar with. For instance, you may have an illegal search issue, tainted laboratory test results, proof that you didn't actually, jointly or constructively possess the drugs. As an Asbury Park marijuana possession attorney I can review all of the evidence presented against you and recommend options for your defense.
Possession of Oxycodone, Percocets and other Prescription Drugs
Charges may also be brought in Asbury Park for unlawful possession of prescription drugs, forging a prescription blank, theft of prescription pad and obtaining CDS by fraud. These types of charges involving pain killers and/or narcotics have been growing exponentially since the 1990's. Persons can even be charged for driving under the influence and/or a Asbury Park DWI if they are operating a vehicle while under the influence of prescription drugs. If you have been found in possession of prescription medication (without a valid prescription), have forged a prescription slip or attempted to obtain CDS by fraud you can be charged with a 3rd degree felony charge.
The consequences associated with these offenses depend on the weight of the drugs possessed. At any rate, if you are convicted of a fourth, third or second degree charge, arising out of Asbury Park you are looking at a potential State Prison Sentence.
It is also unlawful for a person to intend to distribute or distribute prescription drugs in Asbury Park without a license to do so. If you are caught having done so, and it was within a 1000' feet of a school zone or 500' of a public park or public housing project, you could be looking at mandatory prison time. There are many options and defenses to handling these charges which may allow you to avoid prison time.
I have personally handled many drug cases in Asbury Park and throughout New Jersey. I will protect your rights and aggressively pursue all available legal defenses. The right Asbury Park drug possession lawyer can make all the difference. Contact our offices for a free consultation. You can reach us at (732) 431-2224 or e-mail Thomas H. Martin, Esq. or directly at email@example.com. You may also visit our website at www. jerseycriminallawyer.com. Thank you.

Which Running Back Will Play More Games In 2015?
Now That DeMarco Murray and Darren McFadden are on new teams. With one (McFadden) signed with the other's (Murray) former team and with Murray now with his former's arch rival. Many Fans, Especially Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles Fans are curious to see which team will have the best running game and which RB will gain the most yards. But going by these two RB's history, perhaps the right question to ask is which RB will play more games in 2015.
DeMarco Murray led the league in rushing last year (his 4th season) with 1,845 yds. on 392 hauls, his best season by far. Murray also carried the ball 44 more times last year in the post season for 198 more yds.
Considering Murray's history and ALL the other RB's that ever played's history, There's two big obstacles that Murray must overcome in order to duplicate last year.
One is the fact that no RB in the history of the NFL that had over 350 carries in a season has ever been able to duplicate that accomplishment again and while we are not talking about who will have the biggest year, BUT who instead will play the most games, That brings me to number two. Murray was injured in each of his first three season's as a Cowboy missing games in all three and did not play a full season until last year, which "O by the way" just happened to be his final year under contract. Not saying anything, but just saying 😉 .
But to make matters POSSIBLY worse for Murray, you have to wonder how playing in the coooold confines of Lincoln Financial Field behind a much less talented offensive line will effect him after playing his NFL career in AT&T Stadium and last year (His Best) behind that young all pro O-line.
What ever happened to the old names for stadiums, whose very name's made the game seem so much more enticing? Names like War Memorial, Veterans Stadium and Soldier Field. But that's another story….
Now for Darren McFadden who spent his entire 7-year career with the Raiders.
Here you have a RB that's never played with a very good team, similar in comparison to Murray's first couple seasons with the Cowboys. Also in similarity to Murray, McFadden never completed a full season until YES, last year, however McFadden's numbers ( 155 carries for 534 yds,) wasn't anywhere close in comparison to Murray's
McFadden's most productive season (his 3rd) came in 2010 when he rushed for 1,157 yds. on 223 totes.
But when you look a little deeper you find that the two RB's health issues and the fact that both players first full 16 game season came last year are not the only things similar about the two RB's
This is Whats On My Sports Mind about the subject….
When you start looking at a RB's stats you always have to consider the O-lines they played behind.
For Example: The Cowboys gave up only 29 sacks last year and allowed 43 tackles for a loss, while the Raiders yielded just 28 sacks, (close in comparison), BUT they allowed 57 tackles for loss,14 more than the Cowboys. Which may not seem like a lot but depending on how many yds. were lost and where it occurred on the field could be huge.
One things for sure, the O-line has to give a RB the opportunity to get past the D-line before they can really show what they are capable of, getting stopped behind the line, generally puts a team in a passing situation, killing a RB's number of carries.
Last year Murray carried the ball 237 times more than McFadden and you would have to multiply McFadden's total carries in 2014 by three (155*3=465), in order for him to have more than Murray had (436), which includes Murray's post season carries.
Another very interesting stat on the two, If you take away Murray's BIG year last year behind that MUCH improved Cowboys O-line and you take both players stats for their first three seasons, (since Murray's only played four), you will find that they are VERY close in most stats. Here's how they stack up.
In Murray's first three seasons he had 542-carries for 2,681 yds. 114-receptions. for 784 Yds. with 16 total TD's.
In McFadden's first three season's he had 440-carries (102 less), for 2013 yds. 97-Receptions for 1037 Yds. with 15 total TD's. If you take McFadden's rushing avg. 2013 / 440 = 4.58 YPC X 104 (less carries) =476 yds + 2013 yds. = 2,489 yds. only 192 yds. less than Murray's 2,681 yds. McFadden has played three more years than Murray, Murray has carried the ball 934 times in his NFL career compared to 1038 carries (104 more) for McFadden. BUT If you take Murray's 234 avg. carries per year over his four years x the 3 extra yrs. McFadden has played that would give Murray a total of 1,680 carries or 642 more carries than McFadden after 7 yrs.. He will NEVER get that many.
SO if you take all of that into consideration, you can see where both RB's are VERY close in comparison stat wise. So my next task would be to compare both teams current O-lines, which I would have to currently give the Cowboys a huge edge, then next would be the avg. weather conditions each would be subjected to over next season, another edge to the Cowboys and after considering everything, My Sports Mind tells me that McFadden has the BEST chance at playing more games next season because of the final two factors.
But of course those are just stats and all it really takes is just ONE GOOD HIT to send a player off the field on a stretcher.
So Whats On Your Sports Mind on this subject?
