This easy weeknight dish is based on one of my favorite recipes in Veganomicon, Tomato and Roasted Eggplant Stew with Chickpeas, which you can find here. Roasting eggplant, garlic, and red peppers gives that stew a delicious sweet and smoky flavor, but takes a fair amount of time, planning, and counter space.
Sometimes I need to make dinner after a long day of herding children, driving to meetings, and shoveling. By six o'clock, I don't want to follow directions anymore. I want to throw things into a bowl or pot, squish them between my fingers, and see what comes out. On nights like this, I can't go wrong with chickpeas, tomatoes, and eggplant. Veganomicon is in the back of my mind as I cook, but over time I've greatly simplified this stew and taken the seasoning in an Italian direction. The measurements I've provided are only a starting point; I prefer to sprinkle, stir, taste, and repeat until I've reached the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
Salting the eggplant removes its bitterness and makes it tender. If you're into planning ahead, you can salt and roast the eggplant the day before you make the stew. Serve this with polenta—it'll feel so fancy for a Wednesday.
Italian Roasted Eggplant Stew
adapted from Veganomicon
kosher salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
¼ cup white wine
28-oz. can fire roasted diced tomatoes
2 cups cooked chickpeas
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
Trim the stem off the eggplant. Slice the eggplant in half lenthwise, then slice into ½-thick half circles. Place slices in a mesh strainer and rub with kosher salt. Place strainer over a bowl and let sit for 20 minutes.
Heat oven to 400F. Rinse eggplant slices in cool water and pat dry. Toss lightly with olive oil and spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes, until edges begin to brown, then flip slices. Roast another 10-15 minutes, until slices are lightly browned, but not dried out. Remove eggplant from oven and set aside.
Warm olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté garlic 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Add wine and simmer 1 minute. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, roasted eggplant, rosemary, thyme, and oregano.
Simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is reduced by half. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add salt and pepper if desired.
Serves 4. Best served over polenta.

FGD: Take a Flyer
Nation World HQ
February 25 2012 12:30PM
With points in nine of ten games so far this month, the Calgary Flames will look to snap a modest two game losing skid tonight when they welcome the Philadelphia Flyers (8 pm, CBC and Sportsnet 960). It's a rare game the Flames will play that isn't against a Western Conference opponent they're right in the mix with; Calgary has just three more games, including tonight, left with Eastern Conference opponents.
As expected, both the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche won last night. That gives the Stars a two point edge on Calgary for the final playoff spot in the West while it moves the Avs even with Calgary in a tie for ninth. This conference won't be getting any less tight over the next month, so every regulation loss seems to take on double meaning while every loss in extra time feels like a regulation loss. Must be almost March!
The Lineup
Guillaume Desbiens everybody! The latest call up for the Calgary Flames will play on the fourth line tonight with Krys Kolanos sidelined with a lower body injury. Desbiens enters the lineup after putting up 13 points in 51 games with Abbotsford this season, his first with the Flames organization. I guess the team feels they're a little too easy to play against right now? We'll see if Desbiens helps or hinders they're cause for improving that.
Curtis Glencross-Olli Jokinen-Jarome Iginla
Alex Tanguay-Mike Cammalleri-Blake Comeau
Tom Kostopoulos-Matt Stajan-Lance Bouma
Guillaume Desbiens-Roman Horak-Tim Jackman
Jay Bouwmeester-Derek Smith
Mark Giordano-Scott Hannan
T.J. Brodie-Cory Sarich
Jay Feaster told Sportsnet on Thursday night the team expects David Moss to return to the lineup for the week of March 5th, which will only be welcome news. It'd mean Comeau could likely be moved to a bottom six role which is much more in line with where he should be at this point. Lee Stempniak is still on crutches, so he looks to be a little further away than initial estimates.
Miikka Kiprusoff starts tonight.
The Opponent
Trailing the NHL points lead by three points, Claude Giroux will be very fun to watch tonight in Philly's only trip to the Saddledome this year. With 70 points, Giroux trails only Steve Stamkos and Evgeni Malkin in overall points this year and there's no question he's made those around him better. Scott Hartnell, who has played on Giroux's left flank all year, is on pace for career highs in goals and points with 28 and 56 respectively while Jaromir Jagr's return to the NHL has certainly been helped by the guy they call 'G' as well. Jagr, while not on the top line tonight, has 16 goals and 42 points in his return at the age of 40.
Scott Hartnell-Claude Giroux-Jakub Voracek
Daniel Briere-Matt Read-Jaromir Jagr
James Van Riemsdyk-Brayden Schenn-Wayne Simmonds
Jody Shelley-Max Talbot-Eric Wellwood
Kimmo Timonen-Braydon Coburn
Pavel Kubina-Matt Carle
Andrej Meszaros-Nicklas Grossman
Top to bottom, both up front and on defense, the Flyers are made up of some very effective players. Talbot is one of just four players to have played all 60 games with the team this year and has the lowest offensice zone start among forwards yet still has already set a career high in goals with 17. Simmonds has also shattered career highs with 22 goals this year and neither are doing it with overtly high shot rates. No wonder Philly is the second highest scoring team in the NHL, even after their decision to deal both Mike Richards and Jeff Carter.
On the back end, the loss of Chris Pronger won't ever be compensated for fully, but Philly is doing a decent job. Recent acquisitions of Grossman and Kubina give the Flyers two players used to playing hard defensive minutes on their respective teams. Kubina is likely a rental, however the 27 year old Grossman might not be a bad re-sign if you're GM Paul Holmgren. He's young and he can play a vital role.
One area that you don't rave about? Goaltending. Ilya Bryzgalov gets the start tonight sporting a sub .900 save percentage and one sitting at just .911 at even strength. He's been nothing but a disappointment since signing his big money deal during the summer.
The Story
The Flyers don't pose a four point game scenario for the Calgary Flames, but neither did the Edmonton Oilers. Calgary cannot approach this game any diffierently than they have in important games against LA, Phoenix, Dallas and so on. The trade deadline is just a few days away, and many wonder if tonight's Flames effort will help the team decide their approach come Monday at 1 pm.
February 25 2012, 12:48PM
I think I read somewhere Flames were scouting the Flyers and Bruins...
Desbiens wore the "A" in Abby. He's got some leadership qualities.I wonder if he takes a crack at Shelley. He's got far better hands than most assume. As I've said before here, comparisons with Ivanans and PL# are not only unfair, but misinformed.
All that said, I think we may have an interesting fourth line. Once Moss comes back, Desbiens most likely on the farm.
Our third line is pretty solid right now. In fact, I'd take Bouma over Comeau when Moss returns. Comeau might be good trade bait, in a package situation. Ditto Babchuk.
Here's hoping Desbiens can add some spark and offence to the 4th line w/Horak. Anyone know if they were ever linemates in Abby?
@everton fc
Don't all the players in Abbotsford wear an "A"? ;-) Sorry, couldn't resist.
Good luck tonight. At the very least I don't see the Flames letting the Flyers push them around.
Don't bother scoreboard watching today, Edmonton never plays well against the Coyotes and I'm not certain it will change this afternoon.

From a Flames fan who actually pulled for the Oilers vs. The Hurricanes the last time they went for the Cup... Pulling for the Oilers. You never know, they are playing well.
First of all I hate scoreboard watching. If the Flames would just win their easy games *cough EDMONTON cough* they might not have to be so stressed out about what other teams are doing. Calgary's level of effort against Phoenix was unacceptable as well. We're lucky to even get a point out of that game.
On the Guillaume Desbiens side of the coin, I don't see him doing much. I could see Jackman, him, or Kostopoulos going after Shelley. Hopefully we don't lose more people to injuries.
Did I also hear Kolanos was placed on waivers? Can't see the move has dissapointed me as Krys has basically done virtually nothing since being given an NHL Contract. Good story, but the Flames actually need to win some games right now, not being giving useless players extra chances.
I'm glad to have Smith back in the line-up and it'll be interesting to see how he does playing with Bouwmeester. Hopefully he can play top-4 minutes once more.
Good luck Flames!!!
You know we are beat up when (as Tweeted by Nick Kypreos):
#SNtrade #Flames the 1 team that had Sean Avery interest a month ago. #Rangers were reluctant to place him on re-entry. Change of heart?
We are considering taking Avery, that made me want to barf, I can't stand him. No class bum, but hey as far as we are concerned right now he's a healthy forward. Still I would much rather never see him in a Flames jersey.
February 25 2012, 01:50PM
Yeah I heard Kolanos is on waivers today... I just hope it's a sign that Feaster is getting ready to make some moves on Monday.
In a way I hope the Flames loose tonight because I would really be disapointed if nothing was done to shake this team up at the deadline. Feaster has got to make the right moves here...
February 25 2012, 02:07PM
Desbiens will be the next on waivers. He may even be sent down right after tonight's game, as this is the last day team's can put guys on waivers to clear cap space...
Perhaps someone picks him up and the Flames are less one contract. Or he ends up in Abby. Time will tell.
I don't think anyone will sign Kolanos. If he's hurt, he shouldn't be up here. Simple as that.
As for the Avery rumour... Let's hope it remains a rumour. I, too, hate the bum.
Rolston just got waived, as well.
February 25 2012, 02:25PM
I thought players couldn't be placed on waivers if injured? I could see Feaster taking a shot at Rolston if he is on waivers. Should be an interesting few days.
Kind of hoping for a flat effort tonight, in hopes of deadline fireworks.
If the Flames are in for a playoff push, I'd like it to happen with players that will really benefit from the experience and make the flames better long term (Byron, Horak). I'd really like to see what we have with these guys when the season is on the line.
February 25 2012, 02:35PM
Oh my, at this point, I'd trade everyone for Evgeni Malkin. Dude is on such a tear, 4 points with a hattie today. Undressed 3 defenders, fought Roloson, did everything.
If only we had a Malkin on our team.
Go Flames!
February 25 2012, 02:44PM
Looks like Rangers are clearing cap space (Nash?). Would anyone else be as pleased as me if they packaged Erixon off to purgatory in Columbus?

I would laugh my frickin' ass off if that happened to Erixon. karma is a bit**
February 25 2012, 04:10PM
If Nash is heading to Manhattan, Dubinsky has to be heading to Columbus as part of the deal.
Anybody have any information on who the Rangers might be offering? And justice would indeed be served if Erixon were exiled to Columbus.

Heard Rangers are offering, choice of Delzotto or Mcdonough, Erixon & a 1st rounder. Dont think Rangers want to include Dubinsky in that package but they did make cap space with getting rid of Wolski's 3.0 something Mill cap hit. So who knows.
@ Fireonice
I wondering if Leonis in Washington is wondering the same thing. IMO Malkin has surpassed Ovechkin as a superstar player in the NHL.
This is why the Flames will struggle with 8 th or lower finishes. They are not bad enough to finish in the bottom five for a lottery player. To obtain a Malkin, Stamkos, and a player like say RHN in Edmonton, you have to be pretty bad for at least a couple of seasons.
Unfortunately the Flames have a couple well known veterans who have carried this team for the past 7 or 8 seasons to some degree of success, but not enough to make the Flames an elite team or doormat of a team.
If the Flames want the next Malkin it all rests on Feaster and what he is able and willing to do with those two highly respected veterans on the Flames.

Schneider uncertainty drags on
The 72-hour window Ducks general manager Brian Burke had cited on Friday as the team's goal for resolving the Mathieu Schneider situation passed Monday afternoon with no word on a possible new hockey home for the veteran defenseman.
In fairness, Burke also used the phrase "four days, max," which would extend the time frame to Tuesday. As of Monday afternoon, Burke said he had no reason to think anything was "imminent" regarding a potential Schneider trade.
One possible development Tuesday that could impact Schneider is a medical exam scheduled for St. Louis Blues defenseman Erik Johnson, who suffered a knee injury last week. Should it be determined that Johnson will be sidelined for an extended period of time, St. Louis might look toward Schneider.
Approximately $5.5 million beneath the NHL's $56.7 million salary cap, the Blues would not be able to accept Schneider's $5.625 million cap hit without sacrificing another player, most likely in any trade with the Ducks.
The problem for the Ducks is that accepting any player in return would eat into the salary-cap savings they hope to achieve by dealing Schneider. Not only are the Ducks a bit more than $3 million above the salary cap, but they are also trying to create room to re-sign unrestricted free-agent right wing Teemu Selanne.
Unless something happens fairly quickly, it is likely that Schneider will have to report to training camp and begin skating with the Ducks later this week, which would make for an extremely awkward situation that no one wants.
"That was talked about today," said Pat Morris, Schneider's agent. "He's not going to play by himself. He has to get into a team structure. I think Brian is trying (to make a trade), but nothing works so far."
Selanne, meanwhile, said Monday he has given no further thought to taking out a personal insurance policy to cover him while he participates in training-camp activities with the Ducks on a professional tryout contract.

text: Thanks! NYR's orange trousers look is way better though! I think there's some scope for this thread to work, but it's going to be tricky. Firstly, let's face it, many people here are dreadful at casual looks. I include myself in that category, most of the time. The plum-coloured linen shirt in one of the pics acecow used is a prime example of that! That alone may drain enthusiasm for checking the thread regularly. Also, it may be kind of tricky figuring out what's casual enough to merit posting here. Obviously, anything with jeans, brightly coloured trousers or shirts, is a definite. But what about jacket and button-down collar shirt without a tie? I'd consider that casual, personally, though more along the lines of smart-casual or what Scotty refers to above as business casual, than truly casual. Anyway, I'll cross-post my WAYWRN fit from today into here, just to add some discussion material. Is it casual? I'd say so. I wore it to do some work, but under an hour of that, and I'm going to wear it out to dinner with a friend tonight, so I'd call it casual. But I suspect many would consider it too formal to include in this thread.

i think bleach is a little bit worthwatching even though its slow, i think that they're going to be stupid and add a winter war arc instead of finishing the battle in hueco arc
worth reading, not worth watching.
whoever made those fillers = FAIL
i personally love the manga... but its going really slow right now =P but theres some pretty awesome parts in the storyline ^^
Bleach is a solid, if inconsistent read. The manga is definitely worth checking out--while the anime's not exactly terrible, it's better to just skip through most of it by checking out the manga instead. The art in Bleach is good (not particularly great), Kubo Tite's sense of cartooning kinda sucks, and he horribly mistreats his supporting cast, but in the end, despite those flaws, I still follow it because I want to know what happens next.
When Bleach is good, it's entertaining and oftentimes downright cool--when it's bad, it just plain sucks, and it's very hard to find an intelligent way to put it, because if there's one thing this series sorely lacks, it's intelligence. When One Piece can claim more intelligence than your series (because creativity and cleverness are very different from intelligence) despite what your fans say, we have a problem.
It's worth reading, but don't expect to know soon all the questions you'll automatically have while seeing every new mistery in the story, cuz Kubo take his time to reveal everything.
And the developing of the story is slow (just an advice).
I say this is the second best series, right behind Naruto.
the plot is getting slow right now but in my opinion, its more satisfying than the anime. the manga is more detailed (eg there's more about the vizards) and its way ahead of the manga. if you don't want to suffer the fillers, just read the manga.
Bleach is definitely worth reading. The manga only shows the good part, not the fillers. After reading the manga, you can watch the anime, but only the episodes that are good and that you want to see. Even though Bleach is slow, it's developing into a good story.
Currently reading/watching:
One Piece, Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Kenichi, Hajime No Ippo The Rising, Hunter x Hunter
I love reading Bleach
Much better than the anime in my opinion
I say watch from aroudn 21 onwards to the end of Soul Society arc. NO MORE NO LESS, else you might get burnt
However reading it is worth it. But the fight scenes aren't as good as the anime. You can be like me and go Hybrid. I watch some and i read some

Opening Hour
00.00 - 00.00
Bella Napoli was opened in November 2002 and within four months the place was expanded to create more dining space for customers. The first pizzeria to open on mid Sukhumvit, it has since been joined by numerous other Italian eateries in the area. Taking the BTS and getting off at Phrom Phong station is an ideal way to get there if you don't mind a 9 - 10 minute walk to the restaurant, which is located 50 metres down Soi 31. I suggest it since the parking is very limited on the soi.
Bella Napoli's menu, like most no-nonsense pizzerias, is limited with only pizza, pasta and dessert selections. Nothing fancy here. I noticed that the strangely adorned penna lungha (310 baht) is one of the most ordered items. The crispy thin crust pizza came with the basic sauce of tomato and mozzarella but with feather-thin slices of parma ham hung on three bread stick poles to create a tent shape. Pizzas are not the only must-order items here. The pasta is also worth trying. Bella Napoli's pasta comes in a clay pot covered with pizza bread - the pizzeria's distinctive and smart way to conserve the heat. I had spaghetti misto mare (250 baht), which came with mixed seafood in tomato sauce, and it was delicious. Cream sauce fans will find the spaghetti with battered white snapper and artichoke cream at 250 baht delicious with the pasta perfectly cooked.
The owner was born to a family of ice cream makers and caters to several Bangkok restaurants so don't miss the gelato and sorbetto at 100 baht per two big scoops. Flavors include hazelnut, crocantino, chocolate-orange, tiramisu and chocolate-mint. I recommend crocantino, made with mixed nuts, it is decadent. But if you are in the mood for tangy icy treat, go for the sorbet. Booking a table in advance is recommended but reservations are accepted only for Monday to Friday. Patrons on Saturday & Sunday are treated on a first-come first-serve basis.

The Indus Valley and Vedic Culture
The story of South Asian religious life begins with the river Indus and its tributaries. The Indus was the center of the earliest complex urban culture of which we have evidence in the region, the Indus Valley or Harappan culture (ca. 2800-1500 B.C.E.) Some scholars postulate continuities between elements of the culture, such as possible goddess or fertility worship, and later religious developments in South Asia, such as the growth of the cult of the goddess in Hinduism. The great Hindu god Shiva, who gained prominence later, may also relate to a figure present on Indus Valley seals. Similarities between the Indus Valley and later cultures are difficult to verify, because the script found in the Indus Valley is undeciphered and available evidence is entirely material.
In contrast, our understanding of the culture that immediately followed, that of the arya (or "nobles" as they called themselves in their texts), is almost exclusively shaped by literary evidence. By 1200 B.C.E., the Vedic culture of the arya came to dominate the central plains of the north. Vedic culture is so named for the literature of the period, the Veda. The word veda comes from the Sanskrit root vid (to know) and veda generally means "wisdom," or in this context, a set of texts that deal primarily with ritual. It is not exactly clear from the available evidence how the arya—who spoke a language (Sanskrit) with Central Asian roots and had cultural ties to the Greeks and Romans—came to dominate the area. Interactions between the arya and other local peoples are to a degree reflected in a late hymn from the Rig Veda (the earliest of the Vedic texts), which describes a hierarchical division of society into four varna or classes: brahmins or ritual specialists; ksatriya or warriors; vaishyas or merchants; and shudras, made up of laborers, artisans, and farmers. According to this schema many non-Aryans (but almost certainly not all) would have been relegated to the lowest class of shudras.
The veda provide insight into the religious life and worldview of the Sanskrit-speaking people, a class of ritual specialists or priests (brahmins) who transmitted the texts orally within families or lineages for generations. A key concept found in the Vedic texts is sacrifice, which often involved animals or plants and nonliving materials like spices and cloth. The ritual acts and words of sacrifice were the primary means of communicating with the various deities, gaining their favor, and preventing calamity. The correct ritual action was held to bring about a particular effect if completed correctly.
Prominent among the gods invoked and assuaged through sacrifice was the warrior god Indra, a testament to the militaristic nature of early Indo-Aryan culture, and Agni, the god of fire. Agni is the primary intermediary between the gods and men through the sacrificial fire. Many of the Vedic gods are no longer prominent in contemporary Hinduism, but the veda are considered to be revelation by many practicing Hindus, and aspects of Vedic practice such as the use of the sacrificial fire persist.
Foundations of the Contemplative, Renunciatory Model: the Upanishads
By the middle of the last millennium B.C.E., the tribal society associated with Vedic culture was settled and urbanized. Within this society, renunciation became a valid social option among diverse sectors, providing space for shramanas, or ascetics who sought liberation from the world of suffering through austerity.
The Upanishads represent these perspectives within orthodox Vedic tradition, without rejecting the authority and primacy of the veda.
The early Upanishads (from mid-first millennium B.C.E.) deal with sacrifice but focus on individuals and their relationship with the world. Their primary concern is the hidden connections and equivalences among the world at large, the human self or body, and ritual action—the bindings that join all beings, events, and the world into one. It is in this context that the texts explore the equivalency of atman, the self (which can refer both to the spiritual center of a person and the living, breathing person) and Brahman, the cosmos.
Key concepts found in earlier Vedic literature arise in the Upanishadic and other contemporary writings but with profound changes. The cycle of birth and rebirth called samsara is introduced for the first time in the Upanishads, as is an expanded meaning of karma as "action," which established that all actions have certain effects according to an immutable law and such effects govern the process of rebirth. The possibility of escape from the cycle of birth and death (moksha or enlightenment) was a radically different goal from that encoded into Vedic ritual, which focused on the achievement of certain goals and positive results in this world. The paired concepts of renunciation and enlightenment or release came to have a profound influence upon the development of religious and philosophical thought in South Asia for millennia. The focus of the Veda on family and society also continued, many times in contexts that owed little allegiance to Vedic thought. The two ideologies have remained in a tense balance in Indian intellectual and religious thought to this day.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I bought a few of these because I wanted a heavy 2" crank. Got the 1/2oz since an earlier review said the 3/8 seemed like 1/4. Well these also seem like 1/4 oz. Tried them at a few places with no success. Also, they do not run nearly as deep as advertised. They perform exactly as you would expect for a $4 crank so I can't complain.
From: Izzy: Pittsburgh, PA 12/6/15
Comments: Let me preface by saying that I don't work for vicious, nor am I affiliated with them in any way. Now, although where I live most bass are in spawn, this is one of the best crank baits I have ever used. When nothing else was working for me, I threw a sexy shad coloured bait on and caught a very nice sized largemouth. Ever time I cast it, if I don't reel in weeds I always reel in a fish. Highly recommended for any angler of any skill level.
From: Dakota: London, Ontario, Canada 5/14/14
Comments: Absolutely impressed with this new line from Vicious! The 2.1s are killer square bills. Haven't got to fish the deeper running ones but highly suggest these square bills, especially for the price. Sticky sharp hooks and very durable.
From: Kyle: OH 4/23/14
Comments: Bought a few of these with my last TW order. Perfect for that smaller crankbait bite in 8-10 ft of water. Beware that it says the medium diver is 3/8oz but is really 1/4oz even says so on the package. But still seems like a quality crank at a crazy low price. Deff worth a shot.
From: Craig: Upstate, NY
Comments: Not a bad looking cranbait but it is a lot smaller than i expected! the body is a little longer than 2 inches. kinda small and light weight for my taste. still gonna throw it though!

Reporter: How well do you think your workouts went?
Austin Daye: They went pretty well. Some not as good as others, but I think I did well overall. There were good things said so thats all I wanted to see.
Reporter: Where did you have your best workouts?
AD: The Warriors and Detroit. There were so many workouts, though, its hard to remember.
Reporter: Do those teams come to mind because of how you played or how they structured the workouts?
AD: I think it was just how I was feeling that day. I got up a lot of shots beforehand and it definitely helped. And throughout the next couple weeks I was doing well through all my workouts.
Reporter: Do you feel that your stock has gone up or down since you left school?
AD: I think it went up since school because of what I did at the combine and other things in my workouts. I think the GMs and scouts were able to see some things that they werent able to see when I was at Gonzaga.
Reporter: How are you going to get some meat on your bones?
AD: Im definitely going to have to bulk up, but there have some frail guys who have had success: Kevin Durant, Tayshaun Prince, and there are other guys as well. They are able to adjust and I think Im going to have to put on some weight as well.
Reporter: Have you talked to Adam Morrison about the transition from college to the NBA.
AD: Yeah Ive talked to Adam, but I talk more to Ronny Turiaf because Ive known him for a long time. He said its a tough jump but he said I can do it. He thinks my skill set will definitely help me at the next level. He said its a lot different than college and you have to understand that going in. I think Ive prepared myself for the NBA game with my ability to get open and get my shot off. Hopefully, well see how it goes.
Reporter: Are you nervous or excited?
AD: Nervous is the main emotion for me and I think for a lot of guys too. They dont know where theyre going to go and its a free for all.

Austin Daye could be a first round pick if he stays in the draft based on his current production and potential, but he stands to gain more than nearly any other player by improving his game and returning to school.
Daye uses the third least possessions amongst college players on our list at 12.6 per game, but his 49% shooting percentage in logged games places him above average on our list. At 610, Dayes 63% shooting as a finisher and 44% on both catch and shoot and pull up jumpers should give him excellent potential in the eyes of NBA decision-makers. However, his body gives them reason for pause, and will make them wonder if he can translate his talents to the much more physically demanding style of the NBA.
Landing in the top-5 in PPP (points per possession) on our list in spot ups (1.11), fast breaks (1.28), and isolations (.82) while adding .7 PPP in 1.6 Pos/G in the post, Daye is able to operate in a number of different scenarioswhich really highlights his skill-level and versatility. His lack of strength obviously is hindering him from drawing many fouls or being able to utilize his excellent size in the post more effectively (he converted just 12/38 field goal opportunities down there), but there is no question that he is an exceptionally unique and talented prospect offensively. With three key players graduating, Daye could very easily use this summer to test himself against better talent and add weight before returning to Gonzaga to take a shot at the lottery. From a situational point of view, Daye obviously has distinctive tools, but he could boost his stock by simply adding weight before returning to school this summer since in many ways, the potential of his body is holding back the potential of his game.
Austin Daye is one of the NCAA's most fascinating prospects, with an outstanding combination of height, skills, and versatility. Coming off of an ultra efficient freshman year that had scouts salivating about his potential at the next level, Daye had a disappointing offseason, a summer filled with setbacks including a partially torn ACL and a bone bruise. Thus far, Daye's season has hardly met the lofty pre-season expectations, as he is scoring less on slightly lower percentages and is getting to the free throw line at a lower rate. In greater minutes, however, Daye has had the opportunity to put his game's positives and negatives on full display as one of the focal points of Gonzaga's offensive attack.
Standing at what looks to be a legitimate 6'10, Daye possesses excellent size for an NBA wing, not to mention a gigantic wingspan. Taking his brittle 190-pound frame into consideration, however, somewhat hinders his potential, as he lacks the bulk to compete alongside of the bigger and stronger opponents both at this and at the next level. Getting stronger is absolutely essential for a player like Daye to cash in on what looks to be a bright future, although there are concerns about just how much weight his poor frame can put on. Athletically, question marks also exist, as he is noticeably a step slower following his eventful off-season. He was not an elite athlete to begin with and considering the unknown status of his recovery process and the massive knee brace he has sported throughout the season, the extent to which his injury has permanently affected his athleticism is something that teams will need to look at closely.
Whether as a result of his off-season injuries, his lack of strength, or merely because expectations were too high in the first case, Daye's offensive game has not taken off in the ways that many scouts thought. For one, despite getting three more possessions per game, he is not getting to the foul line as often as he did last season, and when he gets there; he shoots a respectable 72.7%, down from 88.1% last year.
Daye's jump-shot, where he gets over a third of his offense is still very nice, boasting very good form including fluid motion and a consistent, not to mention high, release point. Though his release is not the fastest and he does not get a tremendous amount of elevation on his jumpshot, his size and length should allow him to develop into a very good perimeter shooter at the next level.
Most impressive, however, is that Daye's ability to create shots for himself has seemingly improved, showing a tighter handle that could definitely stand to improve, but has allowed him to expand his mid-range game with a variety of crossovers, fakes, and jab steps. The fact that he is a 6'10 player with lethal ability operating out of the triple threat position makes his increased versatility that much more valuable at this level. While sometimes it seems as though he defers to his mid-range game instead of taking the ball to the basket, which likely accounts for his sub-50% shooting percentage, he is a very effective scorer with the ball in his hands with the potential to be even better if he can start taking the ball to the basket more often.
Aside from his noticeable athletic deficiencies post-knee injury, his offensive game is most stunted by his lack of strength. It hurts him off of the dribble, where he cannot absorb contact around the rim, but it also makes him fairly ineffective in the post. This is unfortunate because his combination of size, solid footwork, and fluidity could allow him to be an inside-outside threat at the collegiate level and allow him to better exploit the mismatches that he creates almost every time that he is on the floor. Basically, adding strength looks to be the key to opening up his offensive game even more and a major concern shared by scouts in terms of evaluating his potential at the next level.
His lack of strength and his athletic concerns have not helped him on the defensive end, either. His lateral quickness looks below average and he gets beaten off of the dribble on the perimeter and out muscled in the paint. It's not rare to see him being pushed around inside by marginal college big men, either backing him down in the post or stealing offensive rebounds from him. This deficiency naturally leads to foul trouble, usually in the form of frustration fouls, which has been a bigger problem this season than in the last. He does use his length effectively, though, often blocking shots from behind his man, and showing solid anticipation while blocking shots in the post.
One area that does seem immediately repairable, however, is his body language, which at the present moment leaves much to be desired. Whether it's appealing to referees after every call made against him, sulking if things aren't going his way, or complaining to his teammates, Daye doesn't look like the most mature player on the floor. With scouts watching his every move, particularly how Daye lets the flow of the game get inside of his head, it is essential that he prove that while emotional, he can step up and deliver in the clutch.
Thus, Daye is a complicated prospect, showing flashes of excellence alongside of many potential areas of improvement. He has the size and offensive game of an NBA wing, but needs to get much stronger and prove to scouts that his knee injury is a thing of the past on both ends of the floor, primarily on defense. NBA teams we've talked to report that he is expected to at least put his name in the draft this summer, for better or worse. With Gonzaga back in the top 25 and looking to make a deep run in March, there should be plenty of opportunities left this season for him to prove himself.
The last time we wrote about Gonzaga sophomore Austin Daye, he was in the midst of one of the most efficient freshman campaigns in the country. Once the regular season ended, however, things took somewhat of a turn for the worse. First, Daye ran into the freshman-year wall during the post-season, averaging 6.0 ppg on 29% FG, 10% 3FG, and 60% FT in a three game time span which included upset losses to San Diego and Davidson. Then, during the Nike LeBron James Skills Academy last summer, he suffered a low-grade ACL tear and bone bruise that sidelined him for a month. With this in mind, this season is essential for Daye to prove that he can distinguish himself on a stacked, pre-season top ten-ranked Gonzaga squad. If last season was any indication and his rehabilitation went as scheduled, its entirely possible.
Daye is a mismatch waiting to happen at the collegiate level because of his size, skill, and athleticism. Standing at 610, he can play multiple positions, even if his wiry 190-pound frame is more suited to the perimeter rather than the post. He is not an explosive athlete by any measure, but he is smooth in his motions and has an above average first step for a player his size. Adding muscle onto his thin frame, though, is absolutely essential should he want to be a factor at the next level.
We have written extensively on Dayes offensive game, and he remained fairly consistent throughout the rest of the season. By the numbers, there were few freshmen who matched his level of efficiency on the offensive end. In just 18.5 minutes per game he averaged 10.5 ppg (47.5% FG, 41.3% 3FG, 88.1% FT) with a .60 TS% and .53 eFG%.
While he looked tired in the post season, and therefore lacked the lift on his jumpshot that distinguishes it on such an elite level, our analysis of his shooting ability remains unchanged. He still needs to work on consistency concerning his release point when guarded, and he sometimes wastes motion by kicking out his legs during his release, but he still has an unbelievable feel for throwing the ball in the basket nonetheless. His shot-selection at times left a lot to be desired at timessettling for extremely off-balance contested looks early in the shot-clock for examplebut there is no doubting the natural instincts he displays on this end of the floor.
Elsewhere, Dayes offensive potential is extremely high. In limited minutes last season, he showed the ability to create his own offense off of the dribble from anywhere on the court. In addition, unlike most developing wing prospects, his mid-range game is very good, and as the year progressed, he got better finding spots in the offense for himself. Consistency is the key, and with an expanded role in the offense next year, he should take full advantage of available opportunities. Though he already gets to the line at a nice rate of 6.6 times per 40 minutes pace adjusted, his combination of size and athleticism make him a very effective mismatch threat. Add to the equation his solid ball handling ability and arsenal of body and head fakes, and Daye could develop into a lethal scorer very soon at the collegiate level.
One significant area of concern is his defense, which we have covered at length last season. While Daye looked passive for stretches floating around the perimeter on offense last year, he almost always looked out of his element of the defensive end. Despite his solid defensive numbers per 40 minutes pace adjusted, including 1.4 spg and 3.4 bpg, he is very much caught between positions on the defensive end. He does not have much in terms of fundamentals guarding his man on the perimeter, which renders his above average lateral quickness somewhat useless. His tendency to use his hands in order to compensate for being beaten off of the dribble doesnt help his cause either. In the post, he possesses neither the bulk nor the toughness to be effective, though his fundamentals look much stronger and he uses his body more effectively.
Daye is by no means a complete player. He showed enough interesting and promising flashes during his freshman year, however, to suggest that he can develop into a very promising player if works to overcome some of his shortcomings. Improving his body, decision-making ability, and his defense seem to be his most significant obstacles at this point. After an offseason of injury and speculation, these concerns are still quite relevant and will be factors throughout this season, as well.
Similarly, Gonzagas roster is full of borderline NBA prospects with something to prove, and there will be a lot of pressure for Daye to carve out a niche for himself on the offensive end. Daye and Gonzaga enter this season pre-ranked in the top ten, which means scouts will have plenty of opportunities to watch him progress. As we have said before, there are few players in college basketball with Dayes combination of size, athleticism, and skill. Should he show scouts that he is ready for the next step and looks likely to reach his high ceiling of potential, he will have an opportunity to be drafted pretty high, either this year or next.
Freshman forward Austin Daye isnt getting nearly as much hype as some of the more highly touted freshman in his class, and hes not getting as many minutes either, but he still has shown some outstanding potential in the early going this season, and is definitely a player to keep an eye on in the years to come. Standing 610 with outstanding length while being a very smooth athlete, Daye is very intriguing as a prospect. At first look, the 190-pounder with the baggy t-shirt may look very raw, but as you spend more time watching him, you start to notice the various offensive skills hes already developing in his arsenal.
When analyzing Dayes game, one of the first things to stand out has to be his jump shot. With his length and elevation, Daye has an extremely high release point on his shot, and it doesnt hurt that he completely maximizes that release point with the upward trajectory of his shooting motion. Strong, complimentary adjectives get thrown out a lot when assessing prospects, but in this case, there are only a handful of three-point shooters in the NBA today that have a higher release point on their shot than Daye (Dirk Nowitzki, Rasheed Wallace, Mehmet Okur, Andrea Bargnani, James Jones), and were talking about a player that projects primarily as a small forward. It doesnt hurt that hes also been very effective from deep in the early going, hitting 43% of his shots on 30 attempts. When he gets his feet set and has time to be deliberate with his motion, Dayes shot looks as smooth as it gets. That shooting ability has also translated to the free-throw line, where hes shooting a very strong 91% in the early going, on a noteworthy 67 attempts.
Dayes shooting is not without flaws, but his effectiveness in the early going has been pretty strong and his overall potential in this area is immense. To reach that potential, one thing Daye will need to work on is better consistency with his release, specifically when pulling up or being rushed by a contesting defender. In these situations, he often doesnt hold his follow through and doesnt always have a picture perfect release, and his accuracy suffers because of it. It should be noted, though, that with his upward motion and high release, Daye doesnt need much space to get off his shot, and shows some nice flashes of putting up shots when closely guarded, having good, but very inconsistent success with it.
Looking further at his pull-up shooting, Daye definitely has some problems with decision-making at this stage in terms of shot selection. He can be prone to taking unwise shots, such as spotting up from NBA three-point range in transition with no one on his team under the basket or forcing up a 15-foot jumper off the dribble when guarded by two or three defenders. To his credit, hell occasionally swish some of these shots and make them look easy, but more often than not at this stage, it winds up in a bad miss, especially against top conference competition. Daye in general has shown less success thus far with his dribble-drive and pull-up game against stronger competition, looking much better against weaker competition. Its no coincidence that four of his five single-digit scoring games on the season came against Washington State, Texas Tech, UConn, and Oklahoma.
Moving on to the rest of Dayes dribble-drive game, he shows very nice potential here, and shows flashes of nice ball-handling skills for a 610 freshman. He looks fairly comfortable in space with both his left and right hands, can mix in some crossovers and hesitation dribbles, and can take the ball to the basket or pull up from mid-range off the dribble. This aspect of his game is not without problems, though, as his dribble isnt especially low to the ground, he has trouble adjusting directions at times, which has been exploited against tougher competition with him committing charges, and he can struggle a bit with his timing when going into his first dribble, often faking and then moving his foot before putting the ball on the ground, or carrying on his first dribble, resulting in traveling violations. All in all, he shows some very nice flashes in space, and definitely shows nice potential here, but really needs to work on refining his dribble to consistently use this facet of his game against strong competition.
Daye gets to the basket a decent amount, usually on his dribble-drive or in transition, and he shows very good touch at the rim along with the ability to score with his left and right hand at times. He makes good use of his athleticism and length here, and will take advantage of using the glass when necessary. He also shows a very nice right-handed floater in the lane, which is of great use to him with his body not being up for much physical contact just yet. One especially impressive play against Pepperdine that illustrated his potential around the rim was a pushed ball situation where Daye waiting on the right block for the ball; he caught a pass and on one small step without much momentum, and easily jumped from outside the painted area on the right block, only to reverse it off the glass on the other side of the rim by using his hangtime and length.
As for the rest of his offensive game, Daye shows a strong desire to get the ball whenever hes on the court, moving fairly well without the ball and constantly calling for the ball. Hes shown some bad tendencies in seemingly making his decision to shoot before he puts the ball on the floor, but has done a much better job in his past two games of using his pretty good court vision by making some quick passes to open teammates for assists.
On the defensive end, Daye has shown quite a few disturbing tendencies early in the season, in terms of both fundamentals and effort level. With fundamentals on the perimeter, while he occasionally shows an aggressive defensive stance, hes not consistent in shuffling his feet to move laterally, makes some unnecessary swipes at the ball leading to blow-bys, doesnt consistently keep his center of gravity low, and doesnt seem to have the best reflexes yet. In the post, Daye does a better job maximizing his effectiveness, being active with his quickness and length in switching from fronting to straight defense, while also using his length to deflect entry passes when hes behind his man. He might be able to get away with some gimmick defense like this for a little while at the next level if forced to defend post players, but if he wants to play the power forward position, hes going to need to improve considerably in standard post defense. When he does get caught in the backdown situation on the block, he shows no concept of leverage or fundamentals, and with his very small build and lack of strength, he is backed down with virtually no effort whatsoever. To Dayes credit, his defensive effort seems improved as the season has gone on, and hes showing a better effort moving his feet on the perimeter and making better use of basic fundamentals. Daye also has some nice potential in terms of blocking shots and making deflections with his length, athleticism, and pretty good sense of timing on shot blocks, showing some proficiency already in this facet of his game.
All in all, Daye shows some outstanding potential, though he definitely has some notable concerns with his game right now, primarily in his decision-making and his slight build. Part of the decision-making can be attributed to normal freshman mistakes, and its something he can improve on as the season goes on, but he is very lacking in strength and size, and he definitely has a lot more room to put on weight, which is why he should probably stay at least another year in school, where he could also do a good job further refining the fundamentals of his game. He also hasnt been given a huge role yet with Gonzaga, as coach Mark Few appears to be taking his time rather than just handing him the starting job, though Daye has averaged 19.6 minutes per game and played in all of Gonzagas games thus far coming off the bench. Daye could always make a bold decision and come out after this season, where itd be tough to see him falling out of the lottery with his tools and physical attributes, though he has a chance of being a top-5 pick next year if he makes some nice strides with his game, and that would probably be best for his long-term development, as its tough to see him competing in the NBA so soon with his very lacking strength and size.
CABC was led by three players scoring 20 or more. Derrick ONeil (Florida Community College) had 21 points on 6-of-10 shooting and 11 rebounds (6 offensive). Guard Josh Sanderson (Point Loma Nazarene) added 20 points and 6 assists. But the big star was Gonzaga-bound Austin Daye who scored 23 points (game-high), 16 rebounds (game high) and 3 blocks (game high).
Daye is a 610 small forward who can score inside or outside and has good handles for a player his size. His intensity was also in full effect as he was injured during the middle of the 4th quarter, yet came back minutes later in obvious pain.

Mr. Awesome gone for the series
April 30 2008 04:06PM
Just when you go to the trouble of calling out a player, he is injured and out for the season. The Vancouver Sun is reporting that notorious NHL bad boy Sean Avery (did you know he dated Elisha Cuthbert?) has lacerated his spleen and is gone for the series.
The New York Daily News originally reported "sources as saying that the 28-year-old winger was not breathing and in cardiac arrest at the time of his admission to St. Vincent's Hospital."
Apparently this isn't the case and instead "There was no cardiac arrest. He has a lacerated spleen, suffered from a hit during the game." This according to Rangers Spokesman John Rosasco, who we all know owes me $20 and can't be trusted.
Martin Brodeur must be smiling up in heaven somewhere don't you think? Call him Fatso. How about calling you lacerated-spleeno? How does that feel?
Martin Brodeur isn't dead!!
Oh wait, I get it - its a joke.
RIP Avery you clown
Good riddance to bad rubbish
April 30 2008, 09:15PM
You know I would like Avery if he was an oiler, but since he is not I pray for infection and his little blackbook of hollywood celeberties.
I would then call Elisha Cuthbert and fly her to Edmonton, so we can play our own real life game of 24. But hopefully in the bedroom.
Who am i kiding I am a dork
One thing I do know is Sean Avery is a loser and it does not take a dork to know that. Unless we sign him of course.
Here is to the Oilers signing Fabian Burndstrom

Guest Lecture: "The Pursuit of Grace: My Life with Wooden Boats," by Robert Darr, Director and Head Instructor at the Arques School of Traditional Boatbuilding
This event is expired.
Claude Monet, Sailboats on the Seine, 1874. Oil on canvas. FAMSF, gift of Bruno and Sadie Adriani, 1962.23
Florence Gould Theater
This talk, richly illustrated by photographer Scott Wall, will explore the timeless appeal of traditional wooden boats like the ones depicted on the canvases of the Impressionist painters featured in the Legion of Honor's current exhibition Impressionists on the Water. The presentation will examine the aesthetic elements that made the wooden boats of this period so appealing in general, and so inspiring to those who built and used them. The discussion will include the speaker's relationship to San Francisco legends like the schooner Gracie S. (made famous by Sterling Hayden, actor and author of Wanderer), and the fully restored sloop Freda (owned and operated by the Spaulding Center in Sausalito), both dating from the Impressionist period. The influence of these boats and others from this era will be revealed in Darr's own designs for wooden sailboats.
Robert Darr, director and head instructor at the Arques School of Traditional Boatbuilding, is the son of a schooner captain based in Tahiti. He has been a wooden boatbuilder for forty years.

Gates may be better than some Republicans, but make no mistake, he is a Republican through and through, directly out of Texas A&M University. This is the worst move Obama has made.

Is Obama going to allow Gates to keep his neocon deputy Gordon England
England has said publicly that labor unions are like nazis. Do we want this fascist pig as Number 2 at the Pentagon?
Obama is showing he's the politician that I thought he was
They shouldn't hyperventilate - this is just window dressing. Gates won't even make it half way through the first Obama term. Team Obama needs an expendable.
ha ha ha..... the Moonbats are learning that their Obamessiah will sell them out in a heartbeat — it's all about political POWER and so long as he thinks his best prospects are with continuing the Bush policies he will do so — he doesn't want to be a one-term president!! The DUmmies had better get used to being treated as an afterthought, if that.....
top ten while playing backgammon
So much for change:
Officials: Obama asks Gates to stay at Pentagon
An example of what America is producing today. A very sad commentary of pig slime (and that is being rude to pigs). These runny mouth cowards want communism, yet are COWARDS to move to Russia, Cuba, North Korea, Red China, where they can practice their religion of communism and socialism freely. But, no. They are cowards who want to be able to run free here and spout their pig slime. They are COWARDS. They are homos with no back bone. As far as I am concerned, you can put them up against the wall and shoot them for treason. These types would have hid behind a tree in 1776 and cried for their mama's.
The radical lefties, who voted and paid for Zer0's change must feel like a dirty used Kleenix discarded on Polk Street in Gay Frisco after the announcements like this one.
Sorry DUmmies but you sure asked for it!
Earlier this morning, Pissant and I had a short discussion on this thread posted by Pissant, re "Can the Zer0 be blackmailed? re his bc?"
"Is the President-Elect Blackmail-able Over His Birth Certificate?"
Why should they be upset? They don't even understand what the military does.
They want communism without the restrictions of freedom that communism brings. Which means they exactly what they look like. Idiots. And children. Children who want Mommy and Daddy to pay all the bills while saying "You can't tell me what to do!" when their naked butt is spread all over the internet being a skeazoid.
I truly wonder how many of those computers at that site is connected from a basement.
They voted for a Democrat and they want lower taxes? LOL?
Hey DUmmies, check my tagline! lol
There was a post a couple of days ago that mentioned a pro-2nd Amendment group at DU. What a bunch of brain dead useful idots. They believe obamessiah is pro gun ownership.
De-nile ain't just a river in Egypt!
These ignoramuses can't see the forest through the trees. Large deployment/operation(s) in the middle-east and they want a whole different game plan starting exactly 12:00 January 20th.
Seriously, it is pretty sad that this group of people brought about what maybe a "change" in this country that is irreversible.
The only person who would satisfy these people is Cindy Sheehan.
He hasn't even taken office yet, and already the bloom is wearing off the rose, such that his followers are beginning to discover The Annointed One can't really walk on water. The coming four years are going to be a fascinating object lesson in disillusionment and Machiavellian political gamesmanship when the voters perceive that, after all, the latest lying politician was nothing more than yet another hustler who just simply wanted to be president, and would say and/or do anything to get what he wanted.
Yeah, Dave....and with all the cabinet appointments from the former Clinton administration coming in short order, I think he's being blackmailed as we speak.
Every time a thread like this is posted about how much the DUmmies are disillusioned by Obama, I remember during the primaries and through the election how they would post on threads how much money they'd donated/collected to get Zer0 elected.
I'd post a comment over there to the tune of "how do all y'all who donated and raised cash for Zer0 feel now?" but then I'd be outed, and I'm just having too much fun over there under cover.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, which was the same as the one before, ad fricken nauseum.
I hate the US Federal Government.
You both hit the nail on the head-BO wouldn't have gotten on the ballot, and if he did, wouldn't have gotten 5% of the vote even as recently 25 yrs. ago, when there were still some grownups running the show.
Now we have a bunch of non-educated (but with degrees), self-loathing (but with "self-esteem"), immoral, "nonjudgmental" (with plenty of their own judgments),cowardly (who nevertheless advocate violence)sheeple, devoid of manners or good sense, who spout the twin mantras of BO's America:
"Hey, look at me" and "Screw you"
The only thing that would satisfy them is to abolish the Dept. of Defense. They believe we shouldn't defend ourselves. After all, America is the source of all evil, so we deserve whatever anyone throws at us.
Till it hits them... then they will whine like stuck pigs that no one protected them.
Jeez, don't they realize Rumsfeld just wasn't available?

You got me there. I do like slim-fitting jeans. But then maybe it's because I know I'd never look as good as you in a dress.
Probably explains why SW has so much left in mens' apparel.
Probably explains why SW has so much left in mens' apparel.
Don't hate just because I look good in everything. I was told you did dabble in skirts and makeup when you were younger so this affinity for denim tights doesn't surprise me to say the least. Your secret's safe with the style forum though don't trip.
Dan, you're right. The BoO shirts were the first to go, he gets great ones too sometimes with little details just for his store. He just got a huge new shipment of them in for fall not on sale of course. I've always liked the ties so I might be picking up a couple of them.

By JAMES L. DAVISEditor, Emery County Progress
The Emery County Public Lands Council plans to hold the first in a series of public meetings on the proposed San Rafael Swell National Monument beginning later this month.
While no definite dates have been set, the meetings are being planned to begin the process of drafting the language for the proposed monument.
According to Randy Johnson, Emery County commissioner, during meetings with the Department of Interior the department indicated that it wished to react to a drafted proposal rather than be in the business of drafting the language of such a proposal, which, he said, was good news for the county.
"They don't want to design a monument, they want to react to our proposal," Johnson said.
The county plans to hold a series of meetings to solicit comments on what the proposal should look like. "We'll take comments on what should be in the proposal. As of yet there is no fleshed out proposal," Johnson said.
The 1998 legislation created in a series of public meetings by Emery County will be used as the framework to begin discussions about the monument, according to Johnson. "We'll start with the '98 legislation as a concept and let people praise or criticize from there. At the end we will have a final meeting to show the public what we have come up with."
While sentiment on the monument is strong both for and against its creation, the decision on its creation and its scope still rests in the hands of Emery County residents, according to county leadership.
"We're doing something that's never been done before, so there's no precedence for it," said Dennis Worwood of the public lands council. "We'll look at the full range of options. The interior is waiting for us to give them a product for their own public process."

I have a 9 week old baby who spends most of the day sleeping in one of my baby carriers-I use a sling as well as a stretchy wrap style one similar to a Moby. He seems to prefer to be in an upright position in the wrap carrier rather than the sling, and even when he is in the sling now, he wants to be held upright. I love having him close to me, as it is super easy to get him to sleep, and he stays asleep for quite a while, which allows me to play with my older son, however, I am wondering if t's okay for him to be in the sling so much- he's probably in it in total about 6-7 hours a day (not all at one time-I take him out to play when he's awake). Did anyone else wear their babies for this extended period of time each day? Did they turn out okay?
No announcement yet.
Too much babywearing??
new posts
Hello! I really felt compelled to answer you because I did exactly what you are asking.
My baby is now 5 months along. We don't own a pram/ stroller and I've carried him in a woven wrap from 2 days old. He, like yours, also prefers being upright when falling asleep. Just to let you know, he is just fine with everything. I now carry him on my back and he sleeps there just as well as sleeping when I carried him on my front.
Being in the wrap is great, as when we are out, he will just sleep in the wrap and he hardly ever fusses. The only downside now is naps at home. I used to use the wrap to wear him in until he was asleep and then put him down. He doesn't stay asleep as long in his co - sleeper as he does in the sling for his naps. Probably because he prefers being with mom while he sleeps. We have been using other different ways to put him down for naps so that he is not so reliant on the wrap. I find nursing him to sleep works well, as well as using the rocking chair. This way dad or auntie can put him to sleep too.
Night time has never been an issue. He used to just go to sleep with me. Now we use a routine of bath, book and boob. He goes down now before I go to sleep. I guess this was easier because I didn't specifically use the sling to put him to sleep at night, as he used to just sleep with me.
I did the same when my little guy was first born. It was so much easier because I still had two hands for my daughter. It was also helpful to keep him out of my daughters reach when he was so tiny. He turned out just fine. He's a very active crazy 18mo. old now. I wouldn't worry just enjoy.
they push off your body and still get exercise and build muscle.
i don't think there's such a thing as too much babywearing.hehe
if it feels natural... i say go with it!

At the July Huntington City Council meeting, it was the conclusion of the council, the mayor and the citizens in attendance that this year's Heritage Days was a huge success. The attendance was huge at the parade, the park and the fireworks. Those in charge hope to do even better next year.
In the mayor's report, algae in the secondary system was discussed as this problem has caused concerns around town. The problem is being addressed by the special service district and property owners and users are encouraged to keep their filters cleaned.
In other business, it was approved by the council to by a 45 KW generator to be placed at city hall for use in an emergency. It was also approved to upgrade the generators used at the fire department building and at the city shops so that both of those buildings will also be functional in case of an emergency such as an earthquake, flood or other calamity.
The city council listened to a healthy debate over a local business owner's wish to reside in a newly constructed apartment at his business location. Huntington city code does not allow for new construction of residences in the commercial district and this city council does not wish to amend the zoning ordinance to appease the property owner. The Huntington City planning and zoning commission had also voted to reject the idea earlier in the month.
The subject of crossing guards at Canyon View Junior High was discussed. The city is not sure there is a need now that most students now travel on the new sidewalks and road that lead to the school. The need will be studied as a new school year is approaching.
In public comments, a city resident complained about many things such as high unemployment, stinky animals, too many city improvements, not enough city improvements and the wish for people to be allowed to do what they want. The mayor thanked the resident for his concerns.
