State Of The Rays
Posted By Brian Joyce On Apr 16 2012 @ 6:33 pm In Tampa Bay Devil Rays | No Comments
The Rays got off to a quick start this season by sweeping the Yankees in their first three games. They quickly cooled off after dropping two in Detroit. I know it's early, but the Rays starting pitching isn't living up to its reputation. While the starting pitching is getting pounded (they'll turn it around) the bullpen has been a disaster if your name is not Fernando Rodney. During the first seven games of a ten game road trip the bullpen has been getting torched. So far this year in the eighth inning the Rays have been outscored 18-0 and all of those 18 runs have been scored on this current road trip. If Tampa Bay wants to make any noise in the American League and contend for a playoff spot the bullpen must improve.
Today, James Shields was one out away from a complete game shutout and the Rays needed this one bad before they headed off to Canada to play the Blue Jays for a three game series that will wrap up this ten game road trip. Shields showed everyone today he is the ace of this staff with his performance today in Boston. For the moment, Shields stopped the bleeding. In the three previous games, Boston's bats erupted for 33 runs on 39 hits including seven Home Runs against Rays pitching. It was vital for Shields to step it up today and put an end to the Rays five game losing streak which he did. Going into this game today, Shields had horrible career numbers at Fenway Park, 1-9 with a 6.75 era, but all of that was a distant memory. When you're an ace you need to bring your best stuff when your team is desperate for a win and the Rays were the definition of a desperate team today.
Tampa Bay scored the only run of the game on a bases loaded walk with Evan Longoria ( 1 for 16 in the series, 2 RBI) at the plate and scored Sean Rodriguez. Red Sox starter Daniel Bard making his second big league start issued seven free passes and was charged with the loss. Today against Bard, the Rays were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position. Tampa Bay squandered too many scoring chances and let Bard and Boston hang around. With this win today by the Rays, Joe Maddon notched his 500th career win as a manager and all of those wins have been with Tampa Bay. His first win was back in early April of 2006 when they were the Devil Rays. Maddon joins Ron Gardenhire, Mike Scioscia, Jim Leyland, and Charlie Manuel to have at least 500 wins with their current team.
Looking Ahead: Jeff Niemann will face Toronto ace Ricky Romero tomorrow night in Toronto. The second game of this three game series will match David Price who went only three innings in his last start and he will face Brandon Morrow who was one out away from tossing a no hitter against Tampa Bay back in the summer of 2010. The series will conclude on Thursday with Jeremy Hellickson on the hill against flame thrower Henderson Alvarez. If you have not seen Alvarez yet make sure you do. He's only twenty one but he throws gas. Of course, the Rays will feel at home when they go to Toronto because of all the empty blue seats.

Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda
1-6-1 Nagata-cho
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-8968 JAPANDear Prime Minister Fukuda,
I am outraged by the annual brutal slaughter of dolphins and whales that takes place in Japan. The images of bloody red water clearly show the world that Japan has little respect for the state of the world's oceans and for the conservation of the marine resources it claims to support.
Many scientific studies show that the oceans are in decline. We must take whatever actions are necessary to stop their over-exploitation and to protect the creatures that live in them. These dolphins do not belong to Japan. The status of the species of dolphins and whales that you kill are either endangered, threatened, or unknown. It is an unthinkable waste that they will likely end up as a meat product or deceptively sold as whale meat, polluted with toxic levels of mercury and cadmium, killing people that eat it. It is tragic and unacceptable that the remaining dolphins that are not killed will end up destined for death in an aquarium, water park, or "swim with dolphins" program.
In addition, the methods used to kill these animals are cruel. Corralling the dolphins into bays, then making them suffer a long and painful death by spears, hooks, and drowning is an inhumane way of fishing. This action is disgraceful and has caused much disappointment in the international community.
We demand that Japan permanently and immediately renounce and stop this slaughter. We will work diligently to bring this issue to international light until you have ceased your reprehensible violence.

Regarding warranties, the law will revert to what it was before the creation of TRCC – looking to Implied Warranties and Express Written Warranties.

This is a recipe for big, fat wedges of potato cooked in duck fat. Unlike potatoes Sarladaises, these potatoes are soft, not crisp, but they're equally satisfyingly given that they're imbued with the flavor of the duck fat. I love that the source of this recipe is Michel Guerard, the author of Cuisine Minceur (Diet Food). It's reassuring to know that the chef who gave us French lean cuisine also appreciates the power of duck fat. This is a good dish to make when you want to use up the fat from making confit. Serve these potatoes with confit or grilled meats.–Jennifer McLagan
LC The Proper Potato Note
Author Jennifer McLagan notes that while Yukon Gold potatoes are a good all-purpose potato, these fries are also quite lovely when made with a standard, run-of-the-mill, inexpensive baking potato such as a russet. She also notes that, natch, long, oval potatoes make the best-shaped fries. There you have it.
Duck Fat Cooked Fries Recipe
- 4 (about 1 3/4 pounds) Yukon Gold potatoes (or substitute russets)
- 1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) duck fat
- 1 garlic clove, unpeeled
- 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- Fleur de sel
- 1. Peel the potatoes and cut lengthwise into quarters. Rinse them under cold water and place in a bowl. Cover with cold water and soak for 30 minutes.
- 2. Drain the potatoes and dry them well. In a heavy flameproof casserole or heavy-bottomed pot large enough to hold the potatoes in a single layer, heat the duck fat over medium-high heat. When it begins to smoke, add the potatoes and the garlic clove. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the potatoes, turning so they color evenly, until golden on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
- 3. Remove the garlic and discard. Transfer the potatoes to a large plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the fat. Return the potatoes to the pan, cover, and cook over low heat until they're cooked through and soft in the center, about 15 minutes. Check the potatoes regularly, turning if necessary. If you hear the fat spitting, lift the lid and wipe off the excess moisture on the inside of it.
- 4. Transfer the fries to a warmed dish and sprinkle with the chopped parsley and fleur de sel, turning so they're well coated. Serve immediately.

We'd be hard-pressed to attempt the washing of our big pasta pot in a sink this pretty and delicate, but we can imagine it working beautifully as a bathroom sink. Specifically (the fantasy goes), we'd install an ornate beauty like this in a bathroom that was otherwise minimal: it would be an unexpected textural departure from gleaming, stainless fixtures and a poured concrete tub.
This being bathroom month, we thought we'd pass on this excellent fantasy to anyone out there who's doing a bathroom remodel.
Fleurt currently has two in stock, one in white and one in rusty brown. This one is $445.

How do you show your passion for the Canadiens through social media?
My name is Johan Karlsson and I come from Sweden. I'm a very big Habs fan! I visit Canadiens.com many times every day looking for news and videos (thanks for the great site)! I also watch every game, every season, on TV or computer… even though the games start at 1 o'clock at night here (or later) in Sweden.
I save my money so I can go to Montreal and watch a couple of games every season. See you there! GO HABS GO!

A coalition of Philadelphia civic organizations, including several from the River Wards, has criticized the recent citywide AVI reassessment, calling it flawed and saying it has undervalued the most expensive properties while it overvalued the least expensive.
During a news conference May 22 in City Council's caucus room, members of the Crosstown Coalition of Taxpayers said they support the concept behind the Actual Value Initiative, which, said coalition chairman Stephen Huntington, the citizens should expect will transparently make the city's property assessments fairer and more accurate.
"None of those expectations have been met," he said, adding later AVI should be redone. "AVI failed not by a whisker, but by a mile."
EKNA, FNA, NLNA and ORCA are members of the Crosstown Coalition.
It's clear the Office of Property Assessment has more work to do, said Walter Spencer, who analyzed the data and prepared the coalition's report.
What's flawed, said Mark McDonald, Mayor Michael Nutter's spokesman, is drawing such conclusions from data that is incomplete and not designed for the analysis the coalition attempted.
The data the taxpayers' group used is the same used by economist Robert Strauss, who McDonald said recently prepared a similarly flawed report for City Controller Alan Butkovitz.
Richie McKeithen, the city's chief assessor, said the data the coalition and Strauss used is information the Office of Property Assessment distributed to the public for informational purposes.
"It's general information," McKeithen said in a May 23 phone interview. "Who owns what, where it is located, its value."
Anyone who wants to do an accurate analysis of assessments, McKeithen said, should go to the assessor and see how that is done.
Huntingdon complained that it is difficult to get information from OPA.
Both McDonald and McKeithen said AVI is open and transparent.
Huntingdon added that the coalition wants to meet with OPA officials.
"We would love to sit across the table with OPA and compare data," he said.
McKeithen said May 23 that he is trying to make arrangements to sit down with coalition members. Spencer said he would welcome such a meeting.
Some of the main points of the coalition's report are:
—The range of assessment errors is several times higher than the 13.9 percent the city says it is.
—Homes priced above $1 million are assessed below their market values.
—Homes with sale prices under $50,600 are assessed at more than twice their market values. "The less well-to-do are being asked to pay more."
—The two dozen largest office buildings in the city are assessed at 70 to 85 percent of their market values.
"I think it should be thrown out. Start over and do it the right way," Councilman Kenyatta Johnson (D-2nd dist.) said at the May 22 news conference.
The next day, McKeithen called AVI a "quality reassessment."
"We have replaced an old system with something that is much better," he said.
Is there some work still to do? Yes, he and McDonald said. Subsequent assessments will build on previously assembled data and get better.
Part of the process will be developing the public's understanding of AVI, McKeithen said. That might take two or three years.
Councilman Mark Squilla (D-1st dist.), who prefers phasing in AVI over a few years, praised the coalition and its work.
"This was done by residents," he said. "It has credibility."
McKeithen said that even with more complete data, the coalition couldn't duplicate OPA's professional assessment.
"But I applaud the people for trying," ••

In reply to this post by ashishmach
I've sorta given up for now on getting it to work on 3.2/3.5. I get all the modules to load but getting the correct media-ctl/omap-isp pipeline to work is impossible. It works fine for SGRBG10 or whatever it is but for any other format it won't work. If I look at "media-ctl -p" I think some of the pads are incorrect because they expect very large image formats. When I do a media-ctl -v "command" to switch my isp-resizer or isp-preview for any other format like UYVY like this "OMAP3 ISP preview":1[UYVY 752x480], "OMAP3 ISP resizer":1[UYVY 752x480]' it expects images in the range of 1022x1022 when i request a diff. size. I've tried Y12, YUYV,etc
I was frustrated with it so I reverted back to 2.6.34. That I can get to work and doesn't require many silly tricks. The driver is near 100% when requested 640x480 at around 25 FPS. But I just changed the size of image to a smaller and it limits the CPU. I would like to know if the new drivers and kernel have made it possible to stream at lower CPU but I'll have to wait for one of the guru's to post on how to do it. |
Thanks a lot for your reply ....... I think I might do the same!!!! I think you just saved me a lot of hassle!!!

When I do a media-ctl -v "command" to switch my isp-resizer or isp-preview for any other format like UYVY like this "OMAP3 ISP preview":1[UYVY 752x480], "OMAP3 ISP resizer":1[UYVY 752x480]' it expects images in the range of 1022x1022 when i request a diff. size. I've tried Y12, YUYV,etc |

I was wondering if you had tried this !!! http://www.sleepyrobot.com/?p=210 On Fri, Apr 12, 2013 at 9:50 AM, Ashish Budhiraja <[hidden email]> wrote:
Yes I did look at that..The problem for me was not getting things to compile or load correctly it was getting it to do the same things I could do with the 2.6.34 image that was the problem. I can get all the dsp modules to load fine and omap-isp, mt9v032(caspa). But my issues revolve around the image pipeline through media-ctl/omap3-isp. I couldn't get/figure out how to get openCV to recognize any /dev/video#..but I think my issues were farther upstream. As I said I could get YAVTA to output (SGRBG10?) but no other output was possible..and for gettting gst-launch..yes I could get it the sample he had but I needed v4l2src instead of videosrc which I couldn't get to work due again to what I think was the issue was the image pipeline. Hopefully these issues get addressed but until then I'm probably going to stay with 2.6.34.
May I know how should I revert my current kernel version from 3.5.7 to 2.6.34? Some documents found on the website are based on the previous open-embedded framework. I am also facing the same problem. Thank you! Regards, Eric |
For what it is worth, it works for kernel 3.0. Still we need to understand
and fix the greenish streamed image but it works and it is reproducable. For all the 3.2/3.5 troubles, I think there is a need for more systematic testing, having first things to work and stable without gstreamer, then gstreamer with the test video patern, then try with webcam gadget usb, then to out caspa issue. Are those kernel panics from gtreamer in the first place ? Make use of gst debug level and capture the error source, it would be very useful. The recent post about 720p by Chris should also be interesting to reproduce and see if it works on kernels 3.0 first, then 3.2/3.5 We will get there eventually, as for the guru to make it work, it is hard and time consuming but true experience building ... Forum is useful but would there be any faster channels like a Chat room, I am logged on skype most of the time, it helps to get instant hint, etc. |

The story behind this track, "Lab Rat Bravely Escapes On Hovercraft Only To Crash Directly Outside Of Gates," is that it was originally slated to appear on El-P's Weareallgoingtoburninhellmegamixxx3. But when he went to put the album together, this song's file was corrupted so it had to be left off. It then leaked to the web in early December 2010 when the producer-rapper apparently fixed the file and released for free.
Those of you who have heard it know it would have easily fit in on Megamixxx3, so it's no surprise that El's cosigning this fan-made video for the song. As the snares, kicks, synthesizers, and vocal samples build in the background, we see scattered shots of laboratories, 3D renderings, and, of course, rats. The video is certainly complementary and well done, even if you might need to be under the influence to truly grasp what's going on.

Up to $35,000 to repair crumbling concrete steps and the rear entrances to the Rex B Martin Judicial Building was approved Monday by the Lenawee County commission's physical resources committee.
The project became a priority issue in the county's capital improvement plan after concrete in the rear entrances seriously deteriorated over the winter, said maintenance supervisor Tim Mehan. There will be no changes in the configuration of the secured entrances, he said.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Tack and Equipment
- - Tom Thumb Bits?
Tom Thumb Bits? I've heard so many bad things about Tom Thumb bits, read the article by Mark Rashid,how they give confusing signals,etc. The thing is, at the place I ride at (I ride Western), they use TT bits. They start their horses out with snaffles and keep them in those for a few years (the owners said something around 5 or 6). They do natural horsemanship there, and that's why I think they have the snaffles and TTs. I heard about how snaffles and TTs have the nutcracker effect, and I believe that is when the jointed part hits the roof of the mouth, but after messing around a little with the bits, I found the only way to get the nutcracker effect is if the shanks are pulled inward. The owners have +35 years of experience around horses, and I know they know what they're doing. The whole thing about TT bits just confuses me. I hear people with horses that do fine in them, and others say they're terrible bits. These horses do fine in the snaffles; will the TT bits cause any pain? I'm sure the owners have a reason to be using TTs and I'm sure they've heard the controversy on them. So, what are your opinions on TTs? In soft hands and horses that are used to snaffles, and they mild bits? Thanks! |
i think TT bits are OK in the right hands and the right horse. I have a very heavy handed student who came in with a horse who was head throwing.. and bucking.. she was ripping its mouth up with a tomb thumb.. we went back to a snaffle for a bit and ALL these problems dissapeared! I rode the mare fine in a TT but i have a VERY light hand. it really depends on the horse.. and rider.. |
As for causing pain well you put a jointed metal peice in your mouth and pull- No bit is comfy for a horse they simply learn to put up with it. My opinion- I find them completly correct in most situations. Like all shanked bits one has to have the correct/soft hands which comes with time- |

So my bully of 9 years passed away in early March...and our Golden is 9... My wife and I are both concerned that he's not far from joining Magnolia in dog heaven, and we've given considerable thought to looking for our next Bully.
I found Maggie using this forum back in 2005, and she honestly was the best dog I've ever had the pleasure calling my own. We got her from a breeder in southern Mississippi, and have since moved to East Tennessee.
Can anyone give me the contact info of a reputable breeder in the East Tennessee area? It would be very much appreciated as I don't want to purchase a baby from someone who doesn't practice responsible breeding.
I don't expect anyone to post private information on the forum, but if you could send me a quick email, it would be appreciated.
Thank you all.
on the bottom left side there is a breeder's referral, maybe there is someone close to you on there. They have been vouched for by users of this forum. Good luck with your search, nothing like a bulldog puppy!

Thousands of people marched in Hong Kong on the first day of 2013 to call for the city's Beijing-backed leader to step down over allegations he was untruthful about illegal renovations at his mansion.
Police say 17,000 people gathered at the start of the march. Organizers say 130,000 took part.
They carried banners and chanted slogans urging the leader, Leung Chun-ying, to resign. Some held signs depicting Leung as Pinocchio or as a wolf with fangs. Many waved Hong Kong's British colonial-era flag.
In the evening, several hundred members of a small radical group briefly blocked roads after they were stopped by authorities from marching to Leung's official government residence. At one point, protesters pushed and shoved with police.
The protest comes half a year after Leung took office after being chosen by a 1,193-member committee of mostly pro-Beijing elites. Leung won the job of Hong Kong's leader, known as the chief executive, after a scandal over a huge, illegal basement brought down his rival.
But illegal structures were later discovered at Leung's house, prompting lawmakers to accuse him of lying and calling for his impeachment. Demonstrators are using the controversy to push for full democracy for the former British colony, which is now a semiautonomous region of China.
Leung's popularity has plunged since he took office because of the scandal over his house and other controversies.
Leung "is not honest. As chief executive, he cannot convince the public that he is a leader with credibility," said Sandy Chung, a clerk. "I don't want Hong Kong to be led by a person without credibility."
Another protester, designer Calvin Tse, said he was upset that he didn't have a say in choosing the city's leader.
"We don't even have a vote, he is elected by a small group of people. We cannot use our voting right to express our view no matter how his performance is," Tse said.
Hong Kong was handed back to China in 1997 and granted Western-style civil liberties not seen on mainland China. Beijing has pledged that Hong Kong's leader can be directly elected by 2017. Full democracy for the legislature, where some representatives are chosen by business groups, is promised for 2020.

The signature offering at a northwest side restaurant is more smoked than honey baked after an early morning fire Tuesday.
Soon after the electrical fire broke out at the Honey Baked Ham & Cafe, 7090 N. Oracle Road, the chain's corporate website posted a notice that it was "temporarily closed due to water damage."
The Northwest Fire District was alerted to the blaze at 5:38 a.m., when "an automatic fire alarm activation was received," Capt. Adam Goldberg, spokesman for the district, said in a news release.
The first engine company arrived within six minutes "to find an audible alarm sounding, flooding from the front door from the automatic sprinkler systems that had been activated and smoke also coming from the entry way," he said. "A full alarm was requested which brought three additional engine companies, a ladder company and support units to the scene."
Deputies from the Pima County Sheriff's Department evacuated several construction workers from a neighboring suite in the complex.
The Honey Baked Ham store was closed at the time and there were no employees in the store at the time of the incident, Goldberg said.
The fire, behind a large refrigerator unit, was kept in check by the sprinkler system and crews extinguished the remaining hot spots. They also opened the attic space and walls to determine whether the fire had spread.
It took 11 minutes to bring the fire under control.
Investigators at the scene determined the cause of the fire was an electrical malfunction related to the refrigerator unit. Damage was estimated at about $20,000.
The store will remain closed while electrical repairs are made, the restaurant is cleaned up and it receives a health inspection, Goldberg said.

Breitbart's BigJournalism apparently believes Reagan was an "international socialist"
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
In a February 26 post on Andrew Breitbart's BigJournalism.com, titled, "Palin v. Obama: 'Real' American v. the 'Citizen of the World,'" Kyle-Anne Shiver bashes President Obama for proclaiming himself a "citizen of the world":
Barack Obama, in keeping with international socialists throughout the last century, has proclaimed himself loudly-and-clearly a "citizen of the world." He conducted his entire campaign as a lecture to greedy, over-consuming Americans on the necessity of propping up the lagging third world and the inherent goodness of his redistributive plans for government.
At present, with a "post-American" president at the helm, Sarah Palin carries the torch of liberty and American exceptionalism in the palm of her lovely hand. She is the surviving embodiment of the spirit of 1776 and the Reagan reformation.
Who else "has proclaimed himself loudly-and-clearly a 'citizen of the world'"? None other than Shiver's hero and apparent international socialist Ronald Reagan:
In a July 2008 speech in Berlin, Germany, Obama described himself as "a citizen -- a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world." In a June 17, 1982, speech to the United Nations General Assembly, Reagan similarly said, "I speak today as both a citizen of the United States and of the world."
Media don't ask if Gingrich considered Reagan comment "intellectual nonsense"

I don't know why I watched this entire tutorial on how to use an Asian squat toilet, considering it's not a challenge I face in my daily life, but I did. FollowTheFoot, a travel adventure channel, posted the video that features two seasoned squatters named Andy and Toto. They go over everything from proper form to how to use a tissue. It's equal parts hilarious and disgusting.

Do you realize what you sound like? Do you know what the rest of the NFL, coaching staffs, players, fans, media, basically everyone - do you know what kind of a look you'd get for bringing up Vinny when asked about Sanchez?
Yes, it's a tragedy. It's even a possibility - if handled differently back in 2010 - that Sanchez wouldn't be in this exact condition, in this situation... who knows.
but it is what is now. And that's over.
Yeah, we're not too far off.
To answer your question:
I think Mornhinweg is definitely higher up there than Schotty and Sparano in terms of developing QBs or at least getting guys to play over their heads. Don't think there's any debate in that.
He definitely did a good job making unheralded or middling QBs like Jeff Garcia, AJ Feely, and Kevin Kolb look competent. He struggled with Harrington in his lone season together in Detroit, but maybe Harrington was doomed from the start. He was a pretty massive bust in the pros.
I still believe that's an above average track record, one that is reputable enough to give one last desperation shot for Sanchez, but I think part of that is attributed to the fact that Sanchez is still owed guaranteed money. Sanchez also needs somewhat viable competition this year (and I'm not talking Brady Quinn or McElroy). If Garrard is truly healthy, that'll suffice and I'm sure we can sign him without any serious guaranteed money due to his prior health concerns.
I'm certainly not optimistic about Sanchez's chances, but you're right in that Mornhinweg is one of a handful of coaches that could pull the rabbit out of the hat. I just don't think he is close to that Harbaugh/Roman tier, however.
I am not sold on this move. Garrard hasn't played in forever and has had major injuries. In his prime, yes, he is a better option than Sanchez, but now, he feels like fake competition for Mark. I'm assuming this is not the only competition that will be brought in because it is laughable if that is the case.
Healthy, he is a slight upgrade over Sanchez in that he won't turn it over much, but you aren't going anywhere with 35 year-old Garrard at the helm. If the idea is to be crummy next season with the hope of landing a really good QB prospect in next year's draft, this move sort of makes sense then.
C Mart; during the past season you were as critical of Sanchez as anyone. Now you are changing your tune somewhat. I think Sanchez can be OK as a QB but we are talking about trying to win a SB. IMO the guy is not competant enough to get us there no matter how strong our D is or how great the OL is. He is too inaccurate of a QB and has happy feet and no feel for the pocket. His decision making is a bit out of left field also. The statement about Vinny was a bit underreported as well. When that guy first came into the NFL with Tampa he NEVER had a real QB coach of any kind. He had the job of trying to learn how to read defenses by himself. As time went on he did a credible job of it. Further he had NO talent at all around him in Tampa for years. By the time he got to the Jets he was a much different QB as far as reading defenses and he had lots of talent around him. He was somewaht erratic though. So many here called him INTERCEPTERVERDE when he was with us! TUNA is in the Hall of Fame but not because he made Vinny into a great QB. He was already a very good QB when he got to us but unable to step up to the next level. He gave us a great season and lots of hope but that is about it. I was a Vinny fan but lets not go overboard with it.
I hope Sanchez can change and become a great QB and take us to the SB and win it. That is why we play the game. To merely get to the AFCCG is not enough. IMO I doubt Mark can get us to and win a SB no matter who the OC is or how much talent we have surrounding him. We have read all the excuses here for Mark. The man is an adult. He gets paid to win! No excuses are necessary if he does not win!
You guys are missing what I'm saying. It's not that Mark is unequivocally done as a quarterback. It's that he's future with the New Jets is unequivocally done. You have to understand why that's a reality.
Sanchez is horrible and has more turnovers than any Qb in football the last two years.
Yes, as sad as it may be any minimally viable jag QB's are legit competition.[/QUOTE]
Sad but so very true Fish
Cannot argue with you one bit
With all that guaranteed money, a monstrously prohibitive cap hit and a desperate hope that the new OC and QB coach can rehab Sanchez ..maybe he stays till 2014
On the other hand how can we possibly START that POS at home at Met Life.
Fans booing their own team televised not such a good idea!!!!!
Because its obvious Sanchez is a different player today then '09-'10. Those that say differently are wrong. So why is that? Yes, he sucked in '12, but what about all the talk on here from last season how the RBs sucked and how bad the Jets WRs were? So then how could any QB be successful if that is the case? Add to that the clueless OC, who if he was any good as an OC would still be here, right?
All I'm saying is considering all that and how Sanchez is most likely a Jet in '13, due to his contract/cap hit, lets see what Mornhenwig, a proven, competent OC/developer of QBs, can do. If he sux, he's gone. The Jets aren't going to the SB this season.
I've suggested going after Foles, if Mornhenwig endorses him, since he knows him and his abilities better than anyone, including Reid. Why spend a 2nd round pick on a QB in the draft if your OC already has coached Foles.
I agree, he has had difficulties with the screen passes, predominantly getting the ball over the defenders arms.
I will question how much the screen was/is practiced and what percentage of the playbook plays are based off of it. In the 4 years that Rex has been coach , I might be exaggerating but if they called 2 dozen screens it seems like a lot. I also got the feel that the screens in general were never quite setup effectively, almost that the RB's never cleared the LOS and the plays were more like laterals than actual screens.
MM's offense should ramp up those numbers extensively and thus also drive the practice reps up accordingly. Like anything else if you don't practice it and use it often it can become a problem.
You can make those same statements about Sanchez. Other than implementing G&P which masked the woeful developement of the JETS offensive skill players, Rex has virtually ignored the offensive side of the ball.
Do you think Cavanaugh helped Sanchez ??? I don't .
Do you think Sanchez was surrounded by great offensive talent ?? I don't.
Again Sanchez may be all the things his critics here say he is( inaccurate, gunshy, a turnover machine, poor arm , can't read defenses). But , maybe, just maybe he was never developed and utilized in an offensive system that could truly help him and the Jets have a real offense, one that Rex was so unwilling to unleash.
Because he'll get booed? What NY athlete, including Jeter and Eli, hasn't been?
Hey if Idzik/Woody want to cut bait now go right ahead. I'm just guessing with his '13 contract/cap hit he'll be here for '13. So see what happens. Have I said anything about starting him? Giving him a new contract? No. Just see what happens.
If you finger the office secretary, and everyone finds out... That sh*t doesn't go away. Not ever.
It's with you for life.
New Guy -- "...Who's that?"
Charles from Accounting -- "That's Bill. He blasted a secretary once".
Next time Bill so much as looks at an intern... look out. It affects everyone's opinion and perception. That guy can't be trusted to keep his pen out of the company ink. That's fcking tattooed on his forehead.
...Mark tanked. Big time. The biggest franchise implosion I can recall in decades. That sh*t isn't going anywhere. It's there waiting for him. He'll have to take the Jets to the playoffs, nay, the AFFCCG every year, for the rest of his career - to dispel any chance of this team wanting to move on.
It's over. It's not a matter of "if", it's just how long the FO can keep the fire under control.
This is just wrong, did everyone forget the implosion of 2008, final year of Mangini, with Favre? 8-3, top of conference to no playoffs? How does anything top that debacle? The Joe Walton years? Al Groh's only season? This team was shredded with injuries all year, this past year can't even compare to some of those other years.
Some of you have short term memories.

text: These are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters - who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were taking place. Some of these are excellent - don't miss the last one. Q : What gear were you in at the moment of the impact? A : Gucci sweats and Reeboks Q : This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? A : Yes Q : And in what ways does it affect your memory? A : I forget. Q : You forget.

Reviews for Chocolate Orange Cake
"Really not bad for low fat. I did not read when to add the oatmeal, so I added it in with the flour. I also made a double batch (ahh...added to calories, fat, etc.) because only one batch did not cover the cake...I could see the chocolate cake after one layer of frosting. But good....would make it again."
"The online recipe has been revised and is the correct version that includes when to add the oats.
Taste of Home Test Kitchen""In the magazine, we accidentally forgot to tell you what to do with the ground oats. They should be combined with the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and the remaining cocoa before beating into the sour cream mixture. We're sorry for any inconvenience this omission may have caused.
Test Kitchen Staff""This is a good cake. However, I realized as I was putting it in the oven that the instructions had not included what to do with the oats! I quickly stirred them in, but be forewarned; I assume they should be mixed into the other dry ingredients. I used orange juice; the flavor combo is great. (Added later: thanks for correcting the recipe.)


text: My friend, Simon Sun, rocks out as the frontman and chief songwriter in Brooklyn-band Sidewalk TV, an intriguing mesh of interwining guitar lines, subtle keyboard effects and four to the floor beats. The band clearly draws sonic references from the embers of the late 80s UK pop resurgence (My Bloody Valentine, Primal Scream), but there's also the discordant pop-ism that characterised early Flying Nun recordings (Straitjackets Fits in particularly) which swirls enticingly across their picturesquely named debut EP , Magnificent Desolation In the Sea of Tranquility. I especially dig the instrumental track, Tunnel Vision (stream below).

She had hearts racing with her super-special blue scent, Pulse, last year, but this summer, Beyoncé is thinking pink. The singer is launching a new perfume, breezily called Beyoncé Pulse Summer Edition, to "capture the essence of a playful, sun-drenched summer day," according to a release.
The limited-edition fragrance — which is also blue but packaged partially in pink — has a few similarities to its predecessor thanks to notes of pear and jasmine. But this scent is also lighter, with extra fruity and floral tones like ginger orchid, Tunisian orange flowers, sapphire woods and pink pepper.
Inspired "by Beyoncé's infectious and positive energy," according to the release, the perfume will hit counters this spring and retail for $49-$59. Tell us: Will you buy another Beyoncé fragrance?

ESPN is currently running a showdown to determine who the hottest athlete, or the "now" athlete, is. While it's basically a huge joke designed to further kiss the behind and get ESPN on the good side of one of the "usual suspects" (i.e. Shaq, Peyton, Tiger), I thought I'd post the brackets here and see who real people think the winner(s) should be, not people paid to pick the person who'll like your network for it. The brackets are (in bold):
The Complete Bracket
July 1: (1) Tiger Woods def. (8) Matt Leinart
July 2: (4) Dwyane Wade def. (5) Shaun White
July 3: (2) LaDainian Tomlinson def. (7) David Beckham
July 4: (3) Steve Nash def. (6) Serena Williams
The voting for this bracket is done, and with the exception of LT beating Becks, I agree with it. I see Tiger winning this bracket.
July 5: (1) Peyton Manning vs (8) Amanda Beard
July 6: (4) Dale Earnhardt Jr vs (5) Chuck Liddell
July 7: (2) Alex Rodriguez vs (7) Terrell Owens
July 8: (3) Kobe Bryant vs (6) Ronaldinho
This is the current bracket, with voting on the Manning/Beard match-up taking place today. My picks are:
*Manning: Beard's proved she's got a nice rack, but that doesn't make you the "now" athlete.
*Jr.: He's got a huge following and made a bold move and left his father's company. Also, I think a lot of people aren't familiar enough with UFC to even recognize Liddell.
*A-Rod: I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong, but I think most people are kinda over of TO and his schtick.
*Kobe: I hate the guy and he's not very "now" to me, but, like Liddell, the average non-sports fan has probably never heard of Ronaldinho.
*WINNER: A-Rod. He's "now" right now. Manning is huge, but I think that with it being baseball season Alex's "nowness" will prevail.
July 9: (1) LeBron James vs (8) Kelly Slater
July 10: (4) Jeff Gordon vs (5) Barry Bonds
July 11: (2) Derek Jeter vs (7) Sidney Crosby
July 12: (3) Reggie Bush vs (6) Danica Patrick
*LeBron: Again, the average person has no clue who Kelly Slater is.
*Bonds: Why he's not a top 4 seed is beyond me. I'm not sure there is an athlete at the moment who's looked at as much as him.
*Sid the Kid: My personal pick. While my love of hockey makes this a biased pick, I think Sid should get it for basically rebounding a failing franchise and putting a face on a very anonymous NHL.
*Danica: She's more recognizable as a figure than Bush is.
*WINNER: Sidney Crosby. No single athlete has done more for their sport in the recent past than he has.
July 13: (1) Tom Brady vs (8) David Ortiz
July 14: (4) Maria Sharapova vs (5) Vince Young
July 15: (2) Roger Federer vs (7) Tony Parker
July 16: (3) Shaquille O'Neal vs (6) Michael Phelps
*Brady: RedSox Nation is gonna make this the closest battle, IMO, but Brady is a huge athlete and he's in the news for spreading his Dreamboat seed.
*Sharapova: See Danica Patrick vs. Reggie Bush
*Tony Parker: He just won a title and is nailing that chick from that show.
*Shaq: This is a real throwaway for me. Shaq is past his prime, IMO, and Phelps isn't that recognizable of a person.
*WINNER: Tom Brady. He's sexy.
OVERALL WINNER: Tiger Woods. I would love to see Crosby win, but there's not a more recognized athlete in the world than Tiger Woods (except for David Beckham, but he's been done away with already).
