Hilarious. Sign this guy. Sign that guy. Sign the guy over there.
Hilarious. Sign this guy. Sign that guy. Sign the guy over there.
Benson has had 12 fumbles over the last two years - most of any running back in the NFL. I think we can manage without him.
No need to sign him off field issues with limited on field production not worth it
Honestly, I'd like to see if Blount gets cut and if he does bring him in. It's worth the risk especially with the depth we have at RB.
I'd rather give Ganaway a shot. The kid ran for 1500 yards at Baylor last year at 240 lbs. Platoon him and Shonn Greene. The pair could just be sledge hammers against opposing defenses.
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease get a veteran RB in here to spell Shonn Greene. It would help in so many ways and take pressure off so many of the young(unproven) players.
I'd be in favor of bringing him to camp, if he doesn't perform or has attitude issues cut him before the season starts.
Not only that but everything I'm hearing out of camp right now has Powell tearing it up and taking snaps with the 1s. Why the hell would the Jets sign Benson and drop players that they drafted who actually have an upside? Makes no sense.
Like I said before, this is Tanny turning over every stone... IE, checking on how much a guy like Benson thinks he's worth so he can use that information later when he's negotiating with an agent. And/Or someone gets hurt in camp or later in the season. They have the numbers now, they have a point of reference in the event they need him.
It's not rocket science, it's the sign of a front office that doesn't sleep and works their butt off.
I feel like this is déjà vu... Didn't we talk about him a week or so ago
I thin he'd be the best BAck on the roster, I really do.
Benson? you mean the guy who fumbles once per game basically (not really, but Greene didn't lose a fumble at all last season) and who averages less ypc than Greene? This makes zero sense and yet I heard "experts" saying it would be a good fit for the Jets ground and pound. Greene is better.
Greene holds on to the ball, gets first downs and can average over 4 yards per carry. JETS DO NOT NEED BENSON
I know it's been a few years, but this guy ran all over the JETS 2009 D in the playoffs. Played balls out. That performance is hard to forget.
If the JETS really want to ground and pound it and their not just talking out of their asses then it would be stupid not to bring in Cedric Benson. Greene is not durable imo. When he goes down, who is taking over as the in between the tackles guy? As mentioned before Gannaway is a sledge hammer you bring out end of season when one of Benson or Greene is hurting.
Would you guys consider Greene a durable back?
How many RBs are jets allowed on roster?
Could we roster 4? Ced green Mcknight Powell?

Comfort Objects
By Janet King
Orlando FL USA
From: NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 20 No. 1, January-February 2003, p. 8
Lately, I've been reading a lot about comfort objects. Baby magazines offer some very good advice about them. For example, if your child's object is something that can be purchased at the store, buy two or three of them so that it can be quickly replaced in case it gets lost. If your child is in love with a blanket and won't even give it up for washing, cut it in half so that one half can be snuggled while the other half is washed. If your child wants to bring his blanket to school, cut off a corner small enough to fit in his pocket. The best advice I've seen so far: in case of an emergency, don't forget to bring your child's comfort object to the hospital.
After reading that last piece of advice, I thought about my son's source of comfort. I would never forget to bring it to the hospital. I could never lose it or accidentally leave it at Grandma's. It gets a good washing daily. No matter how hectic my morning or how poorly packed my diaper bag is, I've always got it with me. I've never had to grope for it in the dark or search the house for it. I think that you already know what his comfort object is, but I'll tell you anyway. It's my breast. Either one will do, but he likes the right one best.
I didn't encourage his choice in comfort objects. In fact, when he was two weeks old, I tried to give him a pacifier. He sucked on it happily until he wanted to nurse, then he spit it out and cried. I tried explaining to him that the pacifier was for those times he needed comfort, but he just didn't get it. He would suck on the pacifier while he was happy and content, then insist on the breast when he was hungry, tired, or just needed comfort.
I decided that it was the milk that he loved, so I pumped and got some bottles together. I handed him and the bottles to my mother, confident that he would be happy as long as he had his delicious milk. Wrong. He wouldn't take more than an ounce or two even though she tried repeatedly to get him to take a bottle. Frankly, she was overjoyed at the thought of being able to feed him herself, and she tried day after day, to no avail. We then realized that it wasn't my breast milk he was after, but the contact we shared through breastfeeding.
I breastfeed him whenever he needs it. Other people think he doesn't need it when he has just been fed, but I know better. I've breastfed him everywhere, in and out of the sling. He's breastfed on an airplane, in every restaurant in town, even in front of my mortified uncles. He's breastfed at the gym, the park, the table during the Passover Seder, and in my husband's cubicle at work. And yes, I nurse him in bed at night, too. Whenever he needs soothing, I am there.
I love the way he feels about breastfeeding. When he knows it's coming, he claps his hands and giggles. If I make him wait, he gets mad, then nurses greedily. Sometimes we play peek-a-boo with his comfort object and he howls with laughter. On lazy days he likes to breastfeed while relaxing in front of a video.
Now that he is a year old, he is a self-soother, too. At night when he wakes up and needs soothing, he gropes in the dark until he finds my breast and latches on himself. In the morning while we are playing on the floor, he lifts my pajamas and latches on, all by himself. My husband says that if we hung him upside down by his ankles, he would latch on and nurse.
Some people say that I am a human pacifier. Some say it with condescension and I resent that. I comfort my child when he needs it. I'm not a pacifier, but a comforter. After all, I am his mother.

Meet the Not-Foxconns
Taiwan's computer contracting industry is kind of like the Matrix, in that you wouldn't know it exists until there is a glitch – such as a factory brawl or a strike.
And then you realize the Matrix has been here all along, unseen, but affecting everything.
Analysts say more than 90% of the world's laptops today are outsourced in some way to design and manufacturing firms headquartered on the otherwise low-key Asian island of Taiwan, although their factories have largely migrated to mainland China due to cheaper labor costs.
The one that's gained the most notoriety is Hon Hai Precision Co., known by the tradename Foxconn, due to its role as a key supplier for Apple. But arguably more interesting are the lesser-known firms — Quanta ComputerCompal Electronics WistronInventec and Pegatron — companies that don't only manufacture devices like Hon Hai does, but also help design computers for virtually every major brand other than Apple, including Hewlett-Packard and Dell
But as the PC industry suffers through its worst growth contraction in a decade, some major PC brands are starting to wonder if the cost advantages of outsourcing design to Taiwan are outweighed by losses in innovation.

Information for Lawful Permanent Residents.
Immigration Classifications & Practices
U.S. Immigration practices classify individuals who are not U.S. citizens into two major categories:
- Non-immigrant: those who intend to stay in the U.S. temporarily to pursue a specific activity or purpose (e.g., study, travel, business)
- Immigrant: those who intend to live in the U.S. permanently.
A person who is admitted as an immigrant or adjusts his/her status to that of an immigrant after arrival is commonly referred to in this document as a lawful permanent resident (LPR). Such individuals may also be referred to as immigrants, permanent residents, resident employees, and green card holders. LPR status allows an individual to live and work in the U.S. for an employer without the time limitation typical of non-immigrant visas. An individual can become a permanent resident through a variety of avenues. Two of the most common are:
- Close family relationship to a U.S. citizen or permanent resident that qualifies in one of the family-based preference categories
- Having education, skills, or talents which are in demand in the U.S. and which qualify in one of the employment-based or profession-related preference categories
The act of "sponsoring" an employee for LPR refers to lending support to an application through the means of a long-term job offer. The LPR process is complicated and depending on the qualifications of the foreign national, as well as the specific type of immigration procedures required, the Institute may be involved in the sponsorship process in a number of ways. Most employment-based permanent residence petitions are contingent upon a full-time, long-term employment relationship. The employer files an application on behalf of the foreign national employee and is liable with regard to the good faith and veracity of the petition. For this reason, the Institute should decide to sponsor a foreign national for permanent residence if it is in the best interest of the Institute and the decision is based solely on institutional need for the candidate's unique skills and expertise.
In order for the Institute to consider sponsorship of an employee for Permanent Residency, certain eligibility requirements must be met. Please contact International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office at Middlebury for details. They can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To Initiate Sponsorship:
Permanent residence status applications for eligible foreign national employees are initiated by a specific program/office of the Institute. The sponsorship of each foreign national employee must begin with the endorsement of the program chair and the dean or supervisor, if not a faculty position; however, the provost gives the final approval to proceed with sponsorship. The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) office at Middlebury will coordinate the process. They can be reached by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

We recently received our first megawatt of wind power when one of our land-based wind projects – Armenia Mountain – generated about 36 total megawatts in a day. Under its 15-year contract with the wind farm developer – Arlington, Va.-based AES Wind Generation – we get half of the mega-wattage output and related wind renewable energy credits (RECs).
The initial delivery of wind power is ahead of schedule for the wind farm, which is expected to be fully operational by January 2010, producing up to 100.5 megawatts, or enough energy to power 45,000 homes. At capacity output, we will receive 50 megawatts of wind power from the 67-turbine farm, located near Troy, Pennsylvania.
"This is the first of four wind power commitments Delmarva Power has entered into on behalf of its Delaware customers," said Gary Stockbridge, President, Delmarva Power Region. "We're excited about playing such a vital role in bringing wind power to the region and the economic boon it's created as well."
AES officials have said there are about 250 people employed on the multimillion dollar project.
See the location of the Armenia Mountain Wind project below.
Below are recently-signed contracts between land-based wind developers and Delmarva Power aimed at meeting Delaware's clean energy goals.

I would disagree if I am correct that when you say 'deliberately' you mean that science (as opposed to scientists) should include ethics in its field of view which to me is the same thing as saying that mathematics should include ethics in its field of view or that we should consider whether its more ethical to call trees trees instead of gurglons or some other arbitrary arrangement of syllables, vowels and consonants. None of those statements really makes sense because ethics has nothing to do with it. Science and mathematics, unlike religion and philosophy, do not make any suggestions about how people should live, one can USE science to help determine ways to live that are conducive to longevity and health but it does not say anything about oughts or ought nots, however, it can be useful in providing the knowledge necessary to make inferences such as "I probably should not drink mercury or jump off a cliff IF I want to live and I definitely ought not put my small child on top of a metal pole when there's a lightning storm going on IF I want my baby to live". 2+2 does not equal Don't Kill and the fact that atoms can be split thus releasing huge quantities of energy says nothing about whether humans deserve to live or die or neither. Science doesn't deal with those things and by definition it never will.Kim O'Hara wrote: Hi, Andrew,
I stand by what I said. It's another way of saying, as you did, that, "ethics simply is not part of science," or, "science, the definition of science, is not concerned with ethics or motivation."
I could go a bit further than you and say, "science deliberately excludes ethics and morality from its field of view." Would you agree with that? It means the same thing.
I would honestly appreciate it if you would elaborate on what you really meant. You are absolutely correct in your response to Alex when you point out that religion and science often ask and answer totally different questions and the fact is that science, I repeat, by definition, does not ask questions pertaining to whether something is right or wrong (ethics). Have a good one

After injury, Hechavarria works on fundamentals
By Joe Frisaro / MLB.com
SAN DIEGO -- Spending time on the disabled list with a bruised right elbow served as a reminder that Adeiny Hechavarria needs to get back to the basics.
At the plate, the 24-year-old has simplified his swing and is focused on staying up the middle. Hechavarria showed that on Sunday, belting a grand slam in the third inning after hitting a three-run triple in the first while matching a franchise record with seven RBIs in a 14-2 win over the Phillies.
Along with his offense, Hechavarria also is working on the fundamentals of his throwing. After injuring his elbow, he is reminded to make sound throws. Before the injury, infield coach Perry Hill spotted a mechanical glitch, which may have added stress on the elbow.
Since returning, the shortstop has been cleaning up his motion.
"You get back to square one, the fundamentals and the proper way to do things," Hill said.
Regarded as one of the best infield instructors in the business, Hill noted all phases of players' games can through slumps.
"There are different kinds of slumps," Hill said. "There's not just hitting slumps. You can go through throwing slumps, fielding slumps. There are baserunning slumps. For Hech, you keep stressing the fundamentals.
"He had a little twinge in his arm. We're trying to make the mechanics a little bit more consistent to keep away from that, and to keep it from flaring up. From what I saw, there was a little adjustment that needed to be made. I think he will be fine in the long run."
Showing no improvement, Solano heads to DL
SAN DIEGO -- Still experiencing discomfort in his left side, Marlins second baseman Donovan Solano was placed on the 15-day disabled list after Monday's 5-0 loss to the Padres at Petco Park.
Utility infielder Nick Green will have his contract selected from Triple-A New Orleans, and he will join the team on Tuesday. The team will announce a corresponding 40-man roster move then.
Solano was scratched from the lineup on Saturday night at Philadelphia, and he has missed three straight starts.
Manager Mike Redmond said Solano has an intercostal issue.
"He's not better. He's the same," Redmond said.
Chris Valaika is filling in at second base. But the bench is thin already with Austin Kearns missing a few days because he is on the MLB bereavement list.
Green, who accepted an assignment to Triple-A New Orleans after being designated for assignment on Thursday, is batting .321 with one home run and three RBIs in eight games for Miami.
LoMo set for extended spring games
SAN DIEGO -- Logan Morrison is scheduled to see game action on Tuesday.
Recovering from right knee surgery, Morrison will start off playing in extended spring training games. The Marlins first baseman opened the season on the 60-day disabled list, and the earliest he is eligible to be reinstated is May 30.
Morrison had surgery last September, and a more realistic return date could be mid-June.
"LoMo is going to start playing in extended spring training games on Tuesday. That's exciting," manager Mike Redmond said. "He's been running the bases. He's ready for game action. That's good. He hasn't played in a long time. He will be able to go out there and start getting some at-bats."
Catcher Jeff Mathis, on the DL with a broken right collarbone, will play one more rehab-assignment game with Class A Jupiter. Then, he will be moved to Double-A Jacksonville.
Right-hander Henderson Alvarez, who opened the season on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation, played catch on Monday. Recently, Alvarez had a setback. He is starting now to build back up.
Giancarlo Stanton, out with a strained right hamstring, continues to rest and hasn't started any baseball-related activities.
Ruggiano showing off range in center field
SAN DIEGO -- If a pitcher makes a mistake, Justin Ruggiano is more than capable of belting the ball out of the park.
The center fielder showed that in the Marlins' 14-2 win over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday. Ruggiano enjoyed a two-home run game in the series finale.
Defensively, Ruggiano also is showing the ability to cover plenty of ground. He made one of Miami's top defensive plays of the season when he tracked down Chase Utley's deep drive on Sunday.
"I'm not going to blow anyone away with my speed," Ruggiano said.
He's quick to note he will not be confused with speedsters like Philadelphia's Ben Revere.
"I always make sure in BP that I take one group seriously and work on my jumps," Ruggiano said. "I make sure I take the right angles. For me, that's key to everything I do in center, as well as communication with the other outfielders."
Another advance for Ruggiano is playing quality defense in one of the most spacious stadiums in the big leagues -- Marlins Park. At home, he's adapted to playing deeper than in other places. So when he plays at smaller places like Philadephia, he feels more on top of the action.
"It's weird," he said. "Every time on the road lately, I'm playing center and I feel like I'm so shallow. It's such a big difference.
"I can see the catcher's signs. I know what pitches are coming if no one is on second base. It's just funny. That's just how big our ballpark is. If I play back in no doubles [defense] at our ballpark, I feel like I'm a mile from home plate. Whereas, if I play no doubles [in Philadelphia], I feel like I'm at normal depth at our ballpark."
Marlins starters heaping praise on Olivo
SAN DIEGO -- The wins over the weekend went to the Marlins' starting pitchers. The credit, however, is going to catcher Miguel Olivo.
Kevin Slowey went out of his way to praise Olivo's game-calling in Sunday's 14-2 win over the Phillies.
Slowey struck out seven and scattered two hits over seven scoreless innings.
"For me, the whole game, it was me out there kind of being guided by Miguel Olivo," Slowey said. "That guy has been playing baseball a long time. He's caught games that have been blowouts on both sides. He's caught close games. He's caught Cy Young winners. When you're in foreign territory over the course of the year, you look to him."
Marlins fans may remember that in 2006, it was Olivo who was behind the plate for Anibal Sanchez's no-hitter against the D-backs.
"He called an incredible game," Slowey said of Sunday's performance. "All I had to do was worry about throwing. It was really a pleasure."
Slowey wasn't the only starter to make a point of mentioning Olivo. Rookie Jose Fernandez offered similar comments after his seven-shutout-inning, nine-strikeout performance on Saturday night.
On a youthful squad, Olivo offers a veteran presence in a backup catching role. Rob Brantly, 23, is the regular catcher. But Brantly has less than one full season in the big leagues.
Olivo says there are no secrets to what he is offering.
"I'm just following the scouting report," he said. "I come here early, I watch the video of how other teams are pitching [opposing hitters]. I follow them."

A bit disappointed with having to rebuild my final drive about a month ago. Mileage, 39,700. The only symptoms were a slight oil leak and metal shavings in the gear oil. Turns out the crown bearing decided to start coming apart. Replaced the crown and tapered bearings, oil seal and o-ring. I decided to let my local BMW dealer do the work on this one. Total cost, $550. Of course, Labor was most of the cost.
I'm a bit concerned about the issues regarding the input shaft and clutch hub splines, but to date, I have no symptoms to indicate their is a problem so I think I'll ride it until something gives. The Dealer wants $1,625 to do a clutch service (new clutch hub) but that doesn't include the input shaft replacement if needed. If both are worn, both have to be replaced.
Chris at Affordable Beemer Repair (who many of you may be familiar with) offers a custom clutch hub that provides 100% engagement with the input shaft and solves the problem with the splines getting stripped out, as long as the wrench pays close attention to the clutch hub alignment procedures. Chris also highly recommends replacing the clutch slave while you're in there. Both custom pieces (clutch hub and slave) run about $725 shipped to your door.
I really don't want to get stranded somewhere in the middle of nowhere, so the options are to take my chances, or spend well over $2,000 for parts and labor to overcome bad BMW engineering and a mechanical problem that should have ended up as a recall.

Would you like to make $40,000 in your backyard nursery? Growing garlic for profit could make it happen. It's the perfect way to cash in on the growing demand for gourmet garlic and garlic products. So how can you make $40,000 farming garlic? Here's how:
It's important to know that growing garlic will not make you a nice income overnight. Like most plants, garlic does take several months to grow to harvest time.
Your first question might be, why garlic? There are certainly many profitable plants out there, but here's why garlic might be the perfect fit for you. Not only is garlic fairly easy to grow, it can grow in many different types of soils, environments and climates. Plus, according to the Fresh Garlic Association, garlic is the second most-used spice in the entire world, right behind pepper. In America alone, over 300 million pounds of garlic was consumed just last year. That garlic has to come from somewhere, so why not your backyard nursery?
The key to success as a garlic grower is growing what people want to buy. This principle is true for any business. Let's think about this a second. Honda needs to make a car that has what people want, such as high fuel efficiency, great design, fun features, and a safe ride. Nabisco wants to make the tastiest snacks. So you as a garlic grower need to do the same thing. You want to grow the varieties of garlic that people want. That's how you'll be a successful grower.
So how do you learn what people want? Check the web sites of garlic seed growers to find out which varieties are popular. For several years, the "hardneck" gourmet varieties such as Porcelain, Rocambole and Purple Stripe have been strong sellers. In fact, if you check with suppliers too late, you'll find they are sold out of bulbs for the season! Do your research and the garlic you grow will be in demand and bring the best profits.
So how can you make $40,000 growing garlic? Here are some examples to show you how. Gourmet garlic varieties and elephant garlic (the cloves on these look and smell like regular garlic, but are twice as big and have a milder flavor) are some you should consider. These routinely sell for about $16 a pound. On average, you'll get a yield at harvest of about one-half pound per square foot of growing area.So let's do the math. If you'd like to make $40,000, and you're selling your garlic for $16 a pound, then you need enough room to produce around 2,500 pounds of garlic. That means you need around 5,000 square feet, or a bit more than a tenth of an acre, of growing area for your garlic patch.
Where do you sell garlic? There are many proven places for that, such as farmers' markets, produce brokers who buy garlic in bulk and then resell them to supermarkets and other retail outlets, mail-order sales, restaurants, supermarkets, roadside stands, food co-ops and many, many more.
With just a tenth of an acre of land you could build a thriving garlic business in very little time. It certainly won't happen overnight, but in a few months you could be making the type of money you've always wanted.
Section 2 of Golden Harvest, "The Sweet Smell of Success," gives you all the basic information you'll need to get started.

CARSON, Calif. – Slowly but surely, LA Galaxy forward Edson Buddle is making his way back to full fitness.
Buddle has been unavailable since undergoing surgery in his right knee on June 5th to repair damage to his meniscus, which was suffered during the Galaxy's match against the Houston Dynamo in late May. Over the past couple weeks; Buddle has gradually returned to action, but on Wednesday, the forward admitted that he is feeling better than ever.
"I'm feeling good. It's the best my knee has ever felt right now," Buddle told LAGalaxy.com on Wednesday. "I did a series of shots and it feels pretty good. It's the best that I've ever felt today and I'm really happy about that."
Buddle told LA Galaxy Insider on Wednesday that while he has not undergone a full training session with the team, he expects to train fully with the club at the end of the week. As far as returning to the field, however, Buddle is optimistic that he'll be able to take the field on August 7th during a reserve league match against Chivas USA.
"I'm looking to play in the reserve match against Chivas," said Buddle "We're going to start there and then work our way up to more minutes."

Bozeman Commissioners look at, discuss pool& rec study
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Bozeman Commissioners took a look at a year-long Aquatics Facility Feasibility Study during the Monday night meeting.
"The cities existing facilities are aging" said Ken Ballard, who helped conduct the study.
But during the presentation, Commissioner Chris Mehl raised concerns about possible response bias in the questionnaires sent to area residents.
He wasn't so sure that part of the study was valid. He said they paid $10,000 dollars to send questionnaires to folks in the county, but thinks the results aren't a true representation of what the community wants.
Commissioner Mehl said he researched the topic, and found experts say older people and women are most likely to respond to mail surveys- rather than a true cross-section of the demographic.
He said he brought those questions up several weeks ago, but never got a response.
Commissioner Mehl got heated with Ballard on the validity, and demanded answers.
"Because you didn't answer me, I don't know" Mehl said. "And so now you're going to come to me and say, 'I want to put up the next five slides and say twenty-six-point-two {percent} people think this and thirty-three-point people that. And from the examples we've just had, I have zero confidence in those numbers."
City Manager Chris Kukulski left during the meeting to call the CEO of the company that distributed the surveys. He said they'll work to check the validity of the mail survey and make sure the results have merit.
The study suggests four main options in moving forward, from renovating Bogert pool to building an entirely new rec center.
After the presentation, Bozeman citizens voiced concerns that a new rec center will put private facilities out of business.
"What would the impact be on the privately-owned recreation facilities?" asked Larry Aasheim, part owner of The Ridge Athletic Club. "It will be great." Commissioners said they simply don't have the funds to build a new facility.
"My mind was boggled by the expense" said Commissioner Carson Taylor.
Building a city-owned rec center would require a public vote, Commissioner Taylor said, and he didn't think it'd get approved.
They said they're most interested in renovations- specifically, figuring out what to do with Bogert pool.
"Now we have the capacity to have an informed discussion" said Mayor Sean Becker.
One aspect Mayor Becker talked about is the possibility of teaming up with the YMCA. The nonprofit plans to build an indoor pool and rec center on the northwest side of town.
The Commission said they are nowhere near a decision, but did accept the study and will move forward on figuring out the best option.

Bar Shoes
- Jul 1, 2000
- Topics:
Once regarded as pretty radical, bar shoes now are experiencing something of a renaissance. In particular, egg bar shoes are being fitted to more feet now more than ever before-even those belonging to horses in high-intensity athletic careers, such as racing or showjumping. The reason? Simple--they work!
The term "bar shoe" encompasses any type of shoe with a closed heel rather than an open heel, including the straight bar shoe, which is a regular shoe with a bar of steel or aluminum welded across its heels. The straight bar shoe has fallen out of favor these days, in deference to the egg bar, which provides better support of the horse's weight with less direct compression on the heels. An egg-bar shoe, so called because of its oval shape, can be made by forging two shoes together so they form a continuous ring. It's nailed on the foot in the normal way, but the posterior portion of the oval projects beyond the horse's heels.
There are an infinite number of types and variations on bar shoes used for therapeutic applications. Most notably is the heart-bar shoe, which features a central triangular projection that covers the frog. Although bar shoes were once a custom-forged item, they now come ready-made, in materials ranging from aluminum to steel to titanium, in a kaleidoscope of sizes, shapes, and designs-a testament to their ever-increasing popularity.
Veteran farrier Chris Zizian, of Milton, Ontario, increasingly finds that egg-bar shoes are a good solution for many horses with problem feet. "The more research I do, the more I like them," he says. "They're useful for a lot of problems. Some horses need them for a few months on a therapeutic basis, but others just stay in them."
Zizian notes that "hardly anyone who's 'up' on the literature uses straight bar shoes anymore; there's too much potential for crushing the bulbs of the heels if they're not applied properly." In his practice, egg bars are the much preferred way to go, he says. "It just turns out (the egg bar) is a better shoe."
What sorts of problems can an egg bar help solve?
"Egg bars support the posterior portion of the hoof. A horse with long-pastern, low-heel syndrome-a lot of Thoroughbreds fit that description-can really benefit from such a shoe," Zizian says.
"With a foot that has a low, under-run heel," he explains, "the hoof capsule is being pushed toward the toe. An egg bar shifts the weight back toward the heel and supports that weight, so it encourages the hoof to grow more correctly."
Zizian said he also finds egg bar shoes helpful for horses with sheared heels.
"An egg bar is really good for relieving the pressure on the side of the heels that's sheared (the higher of the two heels). You can trim the capsule on the sheared side so that it isn't touching the shoe, and it will settle down on its own over time and even out at the coronet band."
He said horses with heel area lameness or bruising get relief from an egg bar shoe, and it allows them to stay in work.
A correctly sized egg bar shoe can add about 25% more ground-bearing surface to the foot, which can be a significant help for horses with disproportionately small feet. Heavily muscled stock horse breeds which tend to suffer from contracted heels often can improve the shape of their feet over time with the application of egg bar shoes, and they're increasingly popular with dressage competitors riding 18-hand, 1,600-pound warmbloods.
Horses with weakness in the fetlock area can benefit from the extra support of an egg bar shoe as well. In essence, an egg bar shoe gives the horse a larger surface area to stand over, which can help support a leg with suspensory problems. (For instance, they are used if a horse is suffering from degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis, or DSLD, a condition in which the suspensories lose their elasticity, and the fetlock begins to drop toward the ground.) An egg bar shoe can even act as a preventative against lameness for a horse with an identified suspensory problem, Zizian says.
"The back of the shoe should extend as far back as the line of the back of the cannon bone and fetlock. That will help keep the fetlock from dropping too far-and if the fetlock doesn't drop as far, the breakover is improved."
In some cases, the flight path of the feet actually becomes enhanced, despite the slightly heavier weight of an egg bar shoe.
Although egg bars traditionally have been recommended for navicular syndrome, Zizian remarks that as veterinary and farrier research continues to evolve, "navicular" is becoming a pretty nebulous concept. Essentially, it describes a collection of symptoms, rather than an actual diseaseprocess-and the symptoms could be caused by anything from actual deterioration of the navicular bone to a relatively simple case of sheared heels. Regardless of the cause, there's a good chance that egg bars might improve the soundness of a horse with navicular-like symptoms.
However, if a horse becomes sound in egg bar shoes, was he really a true "navicular" case to begin with?
As for heart bar shoes, Zizian says they have a few, specific applications.
"They're useful for supporting the coffin bone area in laminitic horses, and also for horses who are sore in the 'seat of corn' area (the spot where the white line and the bars meet, near the heels). They put pressure on the frog and take it off the hoof wall, so the corn can heal; it's a temporary fix," he says.
This quality of "unweighting" the wall also can help if, for example, a horse has a quarter crack. The heart bar shoe often prevents the wall from breaking away or the crack from widening.
Horses with fractures of a "wing" of the coffin bone can benefit from heart bar shoes as well. "We used to make up custom bar shoes, with a bar that ran diagonally across the foot to support the break," he notes, "but it's rare to use that sort of thing today. The heart bar is usually a better solution."
In most cases, a horse will wear bar shoes on his front feet only. But Zizian says if there's a specific hind-end problem to treat, then a horse can successfully wear them on all four feet.
With all of these applications, it's no wonder bar shoes are exploding in popularity. But it's not as simple as just slapping a pair on the front feet and heading off to the races (or the show ring).
"A bar shoe is a therapeutic shoe, and should be treated as such," says Zizian. "When your horse is wearing them, you'll have to change your routine a bit."
Turnout, for instance, can become an issue when your horse is wearing shoes that project out behind his heels. Running and playing at liberty probably provide the bes0t chance for him to grab the projection with a toe and yank the shoe off. Imagine the carnage if your horse were to snag an egg bar-shod foot in a wire fence! The best approach with a horse sporting egg bar shoes is to limit turnout to a small field or arena with wooden or pipe fencing, put him there by himself (to limit the amount of galloping around he'll do), and outfit him with big, sloppy bell boots of gum rubber, which hang over the actual shoe, not just the heels. It's far better, reasons Zizian, to sacrifice a bell boot than an expensive egg bar shoe that might remove half the foot when it goes.
That said, Zizian notes that there are many horses which have no more trouble keeping egg bar shoes on than regular, open-heeled shoes. He's seen them in use not only on dressage horses, but also on showjumpers and even eventers, who are galloping and jumping over uneven terrain.
"There are a lot of top-level horses wearing egg-bar shoes with no problems," he says. "If they're correctly applied, they should be no more likely to come off than a regular shoe."
Two types of terrain that will heighten the risk of lost shoes are deep mud and going downhill at speed; these should be avoided if possible.
Horses which manage repeatedly to pull off their egg bar shoes probably do so not because of the design of the shoe, but because of the symptoms that made them egg bar candidates in the first place: poor quality horn, long toes, and under-run heels. Chronic stall-walkers, pawers, or weavers also are prone to ripping off bar shoes. If a horse really is determined to remove his egg bar shoes, some farriers might resort to a straight-bar shoe until such time as a better foot starts to grow.
Zizian emphasizes that applying an egg bar shoe on any horse requires a certain amount of expertise.
"You really need a competent and experienced farrier to correctly install a bar shoe. There's a little more skill required-and a better understanding of anatomy and locomotion-than with a simpler shoe. So, it's probably not the kind of thing you want to ask your apprentice farrier to try on his first day."
Essential to the correct application of an egg bar shoe is making sure the rear portion of the shoe isn't pressing on the heel bulbs, which could crush the soft tissue and cause lasting damage. Zizian notes, "It's very easy to choose a bar shoe that's too small in a misguided effort to keep the rear projection from sticking out too far. But if the shoe is too small, it will place pressure on the heels. What people don't understand is that by applying the right size of egg bar shoe correctly, you can improve the breakover of the foot-and that will mean the front foot gets out of the way of the hind more easily. So you end up with less risk of yanking the shoe off than you would if you put on a too-small shoe that doesn't help the breakover."
One essential with bar shoes is some sort of traction device, Zizian says. "An egg bar represents just that much more steel a horse is standing on, so it can be very slippery. I think it's crucial to put caulks on any kind of bar shoe; they're just placed at the heels where any ordinary caulk would be."
Because bar shoes also require expert and accurate fitting, they are almost always applied hot. And since long toes defeat the purpose of an egg bar shoe, Zizian says he finds that a square or rolled toe, which can ease breakover on the front feet, is a very good idea. Occasionally he sets the shoes back from the toe instead, which has a similar effect.
From a farrier's point of view, the wide availability of good-quality, ready-made bar shoes might have something to do with their increasing popularity. It's far less time consuming now for a farrier to outfit a horse with egg bar shoes. Also, because the ready-made shoes are stamped from a single piece of metal, they're less likely to break than the hand-made, welded kind.
Fairly advanced farriery skills still are required when egg bar shoes are involved, and that will cost the owner more than an ordinary set of shoes. More frequent re-setting is required; expect to have yourfarrier out every three to four weeks if you want to minimize the chance of lost shoes.
Don't expect instant grace when your horse is shod with egg bar shoes for the first time; many need a few days to get used to them. There also is likely to be a transition period if and when your farrier and veterinarian agree that it's time to return to an open-heeled shoe. If any lameness recurs once your horse is outfitted with a plain, wide-webbed shoe, he's telling you he needs the extra heel support and load-bearing assistance of an egg bar. While it's not the most inexpensive or low-maintenance approach, there's nothing wrong with maintaining your horse in bar shoes throughout his career, if that's what he requires to perform.

Hornets rookie Anthony Davis plans to take the slow road back to the court after multiple ankle sprains.
The Times-Picayune reports that Davis, who hasn't appeared in New Orleans' last three games, says he could miss a "week or two" more as he looks to avoid further damaging a right ankle that he recently sprained three times in one week. Davis said an MRI revealed a "stress reaction" in his right ankle, a condition that could develop into a stress fracture.
"The fact I sprained my ankle three times in that one week, that was odd," Davis said. "So they found that inside my foot. And you know the whole Grant Hill story, so they wanted to be very cautious with the way I handled things."
"Hopefully in the next week or two," Davis said." I just hate sitting around and not being able to be on the floor with my team. So as soon as possible, hopefully they'll give me the OK pretty soon.
"Hopefully, early December. Let's just hope I get back sooner. We don't want to rush anything and then have to have surgery. I know the doctors are going to steer me right and tell me the truth."
An additional two-week absence would cost Davis eight more games. To date, he's appeared in six of New Orleans' 11 games, missing two other games after sustaining a mild concussion. The Hornets are currently 3-8, sitting in the Southwest Division's basement. They are 1-4 without him.
Hornets coach Monty Williams has started a frontline of Al-Farouq Aminu, Anthony Davis and Robin Lopez in Davis' absence, moving Anderson into Davis' starting spot. Davis' absence has opened up playing time for reserve forwards Jason Smith and Lance Thomas, although Williams has juggled his rotations a bit in search of a working combination. Davis, 19, had hit the ground running, averaging 16.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in 28.2 minutes per game.
The Hornets are likely to struggle with or without Davis, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft. The biggest implication of this absence will be whether it impacts the 2013 Rookie of the Year Race. Davis, the overwhelming preseason favorite, will have some catching up to do when he returns. Blazers guard Damian Lillard is averaging 20.2 points, 6.0 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game in 37.3 minutes. He's started all 12 of Portland's games entering Sunday and he's carrying a huge load on a rebuilding team under first-year coach Terry Stotts.
Missing an extended period of time isn't absolutely disqualifying when it comes to the Rookie of the Year award. The 2007 winner, Brandon Roy, missed 25 games. The 2012 winner, Kyrie Irving, missed 15 games last year. By and large, though, the last 10 Rookies of the Year have enjoyed fairly good health. On average, the last 10 Rookies of the Year, including Irving and Roy, have missed just 7 games due to injury. Blake Griffin and Amar'e Stoudemire appeared in every game during their rookie seasons; Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul and LeBron James all missed less than five games.Timberwolves Ricky Rubio Raptors Andrea Bargnani

Crusted Ahi Tuna with Pomegranate Vinaigrette
Rick Tramonto
Published by Clarkson Potter
I remember spending a few days with my wife Eileen in Porto Fino in Italy, which is simply beautiful. One day, we went to a big seaside restaurant called Il Delfino, arriving about 11 in the morning and staying through the early afternoon. We sat on the terrace, with the water glinting blue and silver and the fishing boats bobbing on the horizon, and ordered raw tuna with pomegranates, lemon, and basil. It's that memory that inspired me to create this dish. It's a great way to serve one of my all-time favorites, raw ahi tuna, but be sure to buy the freshest, best fish you can. Look for bright color, firm flesh, and no odor except a faint whiff of the sea.
Total Timeunder 30 minutes
Make Ahead RecipeYes
OccasionCooking for a date, Formal Dinner Party
Recipe Coursecold appetizer
Dietary Considerationegg-free, lactose-free, raw
Equipmentmortar and pestle
- 1/2 cup crushed coriander seed
- ½ cup fennel seed
- 1/3 cup cracked black peppercorns
- 1/3 cup pink peppercorns (optional)
- Two 8-ounce log-shaped pieces sushi-grade #1 ahi or bluefin tuna
- Kosher salt
- 1 cup fresh or store-bought pomegranate juice
- 1/3 cup high-quality sherry vinegar
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 medium shallot, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Sea salt or Cyprus Black Salt
- Pomegranate seeds, for garnish, optional
- 4 lime wedges, for garnish
In a spice grinder or mortar and pestle, crush the coriander seeds, fennel seeds, and peppercorns. Transfer to a shallow bowl and stir to mix.
Lightly season the tuna pieces with salt. Roll each log in the crushed seed mixture until completely covered, including the ends.
Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: in a blender, mix together the pomegranate juice, vinegar, lime juice, shallot, and mustard. Slowly blend in the olive oil until incorporated. Add the basil and chives.
Slice the tuna logs into 1/2-inch-thick shingles and layer them on each of 4 plates. Drizzle with the vinaigrette and garnish with sea salt and cracked pepper and, if desired, pomegranate seeds. Garnish each plate with a lime wedge and serve.

checkout this grill.
advertised in the banner here. pricey maybe sar has 1.
On full blast my charbroil was getting up to 300 degrees F. I hated that piece of sh#t. I would cook hamburgers for 25 minutes.
I use either a gas or charcoal BBQ depending on my mood and what I am cooking.
I have a Weber Kettle BBQ that I have had for over 25 years, it's my go to for oysters and turkeys, the gas grill gets the majority of the work.
It's not the grill it's the cook for the most part.
To be honest, I thought the same thing about the ashes. But the way the grill is designed, the food isn't over the fire. The pit is on the side, with a loading door. And there is a opening at the top of the pit where the heat gets fed in. So it's probably all good.
you could always buy a bunch of these for this season to save for the 1 you want.
has green egg-mania died down? had a couple guys at work way too into them - talked about them 24/7.
It's been confirmed that the grill I'm talking about is called a stick burner.
If you are going to spend 500, then spend the extra 200 on a webber genesis.

Man ... Kenyon Martin makes me hate Kenyon Martin ...
Ahh... Why JV doesn't get touches to post up vs Martin, the old guy who plays back to back game? Oh right, it's not our plan :P that's cool.
EDIT: oh right, assistant coach just explained team's plan.

2 awful turnovers by Ross in a row.
How the hell did a 35 year old Martin beat every Raptor down the court though?
I still want to know why JV isn't getting any touches in the post.
The shots that these Raptors are taking are just idiotic.
Melo is asshole. Really. ( TALKING ABOUT that flagrant 1)
I really hope the Knicks vs the Heat in the the playoffs so the Heat blow them out in 4 games.
This is embarassing.
If Demar didn't flail his arms like this
he would actually get a call
Did knicks crowd really did sing happy birthday to Kidd?
Amir and JV played similar minutes under 20mins, all players who can attack the rim played +20... Clearly we don't need offensive help in the post 2day?!
I guess tank nation is in full effect with this piss poor effort. At least Landry and JV give a fuck.. my two favorite Raps right now
Man this game could hurt the eyes of a blind man ...

Discussion in 'Science Fiction & Fantasy' started by Temis the Vorta, May 6, 2012.
Thank you!
That's funny, I'm not subscribed to anything on www.variety.com but I never get blocked. Are they putting up one of those annoying paywalls? What's the point, Deadline scoops everyone anyway.
Yes it's a paywall or sign up for access to a few articles a month(I think it was 2?).
Signing up for only 2 or 3 or 4 articles isn't worth my time to sign up.
Exatcly Temis, so much info is going to be out there that one would be foolish to pay for this type news access.
I love the kinds of paywalls where it's just a bunch of stuff after "html" that you can delete. Good gort, do they think we can't figure that part out?
Since Variety is being lame with their paywall, here's Deadline's story. I'll stick with them from now on, accept no substitutes! I always like the snarky/bitter comments section.
There have been rumors that Marvel would make a "Black Panther" film, but Marvel has crushed these rumors. I would've liked a movie about The Black Panther. Check it out http://thecelebritycafe.com/feature/2012/06/marvel-has-no-plans-make-black-panther-film
I just got done watching the old FOX Spiderman series from the 90s, and I have to say, I really enjoyed the Felicia Hardy/Black Cat character. I think it would be cool to bring her into either the Spiderman or Avengers movies; she is a super soldier, after all.
If the cartoon is your only exposure then I guess so but they played loose with that one.
She's not a super soldier.
Her origins been tinkered with a few times in the comics but her as a recipient of the serum(in any form) isn't one of them.
I'm surprised we haven't seen her in a Spider-Man movie yet. She seems to be a pretty popular enemy/ally/love interest/whatever for Spider-Man.
I wonder if her appearance in the ASM game means she's more or less likely to appear in a future ASM sequel?
Well, the great thing about comic book characters is that you can pretty much do whatever you want with them. How many times have these characters been rebooted in comics, novels, TV, and movies? I don't read comics, but I liked the cartoon's take on the character. She was a helluva lot more interesting than Mary Jane, and Gwen only appeared once in an alternate reality.
Plus, towards the end of the show, she started to have a crush on Captain America, so there's that to work with. I just think we need more lady heroes.
Well, if they are going to go down the "Bad-girl-gets-a-crush-on-Cap-and-turns-good" route, then it would be much more accurate to introduce Diamondback, who is an actual Cap supporting character who DID go down that route.
Originally a member of the Serpent Society in the 80's, Diamondback developed a crush on Cap and switched sides, even working with Cap for a time. She is currently Dum-Dum Dugan's partner in the newly reformed SHIELD, and just recently commented that after all of these years, she is still trying to impress Steve Rogers.
We were supposed to have seen Felicia in "Spider-Man 2" (Rami wanted Eliza Dushku for the part) but this was quashed by Avi. Then again in "Spider-Man 3" but again quashed by Avi. "Spider-Man 4" cast Anne Hathaway as Felicia Hardy but she would be playing a character named The Vultress. I expect that we could see her introduced in Webb's trilogy.Unless Avi quashes that.
I would've liked to see a Black Panther movie as well.
Wesley Snipes long expressed interest in doing a "Black Panther" film and one has been on and off in development hell for years. I think one will eventually happen. As mentioned already Kevin Fiege is a huge fan of the character. It's just a matter of time and getting the right people involved.
Isn't Wesley Snipes in prison right now?
Black Panther, framed for a murder he didn't commit, must break out of super max!
Yep, due for release next July.
In time for filming of Expendables 3!!
Not sure I'd rank him in the spot as Schwarzenegger, Stalone, Willis and them. What's the most bad-assness Snipes has to his name (in the same as others, not playing a comic book character)? Passenger 57?
He was pretty bad ass in "US Marshals" If Stone Cold Steve Austin can be in Expendables, then so can Wesley Snipes

This study is provided by Resource Center for Minority Data (RCMD).
Current Population Survey, January 2012: Displaced Worker, Employee Tenure, and Occupational Mobility Supplement (ICPSR 34435)
Alternate Title: CPS, January 2012
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census; United States Department of Labor. Bureau of Labor Statistics
This data collection is comprised of responses from two sets of survey questionnaires, the basic Current Population Survey (CPS) and a survey administered as a supplement to the January CPS questionnaire on the topic of Displaced Workers, Employee Tenure, and Occupational Mobility in the United States.
The CPS, administered monthly, collects labor force data about the civilian noninstitutional population living in the United States. Moreover, the CPS provides current estimates of the economic status and activities of this population which includes estimates of total employment (both farm and nonfarm), nonfarm self-employed persons, domestics, and unpaid helpers in nonfarm family enterprises, wage and salaried employees, and estimates of total unemployment. Data from the CPS are provided for the week prior to the administration of the survey.
All persons eligible for the labor force items of the basic CPS were also eligible for the supplement. The supplement was designed to be a proxy response supplement, meaning a single respondent could provide answers for all eligible household members, provided the respondent was a household member 15 years of age or older. Persons 20 years of age and older, who lost or left a job involuntarily within the last three years (based on operating decisions of a firm, plant, or business in which the worker was employed) were eligible for the first part of the supplement, which consisted of the Displaced Workers items. Persons 15 years of age and older who were employed during the reference week were eligible for the second part of the supplement, which consisted of the Employee Tenure and Occupational Mobility items.
Respondents were queried on reasons for job displacement, industry and occupation of the former job, group health insurance coverage, job tenure, and weekly earnings. Additional data refer to periods of unemployment as well as number of jobs held, use of unemployment benefits, whether residence was changed to seek work in another area, current health insurance coverage, and current weekly earnings.
Although the main purpose of the survey was to collect information on an individual's employment situation, a very important secondary purpose was to collect information on demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, Hispanic origin, marital status, veteran status, educational attainment, family relationship, occupation, and income.

- 2012-01-15--2012-01-21
Unit of Observation: individuals within housing units
The basic CPS universe consisted of all persons aged 15 years and older in the civilian noninstitutional population living in households of the United States. The population defined as institutionalized was comprised of individuals in correctional institutions and nursing homes.
The January 2012 supplement contained two distinct universes. The first comprised all persons 20 years of age and older who lost a job involuntarily within the last three years based on operating decisions of a firm, plant, or business in which the worker was employed -- the Displaced Worker questions were asked of this group (items SD1-SD27, including earnings items SLE1-SLE22 and SCE1-SCE25). The second universe consisted of each household member 15 years of age and older who was employed during the reference week. This group was asked the Employee Tenure and Occupational Mobility questions (items ST1-ST8 and ST20-ST31).
Users are strongly encouraged to refer to the User Guide (produced by the Principal Investigators), which contains additional information about the basic CPS survey methodology, as well as detailed technical documentation specific to the Displaced Worker, Employee Tenure, and Occupational Mobility Supplement. In particular, Attachment 8 of the User Guide contains the supplement questionnaire.
Edited universe statements are defined for individual variables, and are located in the Basic or Supplement record layouts found in Attachment 6 or 7 of the User Guide, respectively.
ICPSR removed all FILLER and PADDING variables from the data. As a result, the column locations in any ICPSR-released data product (e.g., codebook and setup files) will have column locations that are not consistent with locations described in the User Guide.
Sample: A multistage probability sample, based on the 2000 decennial census, was selected to represent the universe of approximately 56,000 households.
There are two supplement weights associated with the January 2012 supplement. The first weight -- PWSUPWGT -- should be used to tally the Displaced Worker items. The second weight -- PWTENWGT -- should be used for tallying the Employee Tenure and Occupational Mobility section of the supplement.
The data also contain seven additional basic CPS weight variables:
- Household Weight -- HWHHWGT -- Used for tallying household characteristics.
- Family Weight -- PWFMWGT -- Used only for tallying family characteristics.
- Longitudinal Weight -- PWLGWGT -- Found only on adult records matched from month to month (used for gross flows analysis).
- Outgoing Rotation Weight -- PWORWGT -- Used for tallying information collected only in outgoing rotations.
- Final Weight -- PWSSWGT -- Used for most tabulations, controlled to independent estimates for (1) States; (2) Origin, Sex, and Age; and (3) Age, Race, and Sex.
- Veteran's Weight -- PWVETWGT -- Used for tallying veteran's data only.
- Composited Final Weight -- PWCMPWGT -- Used to create BLS's published labor force statistics.
Users are strongly encouraged to refer to the User Guide for detailed information on how to use the weights, as well as how they were derived.
Mode of Data Collection: computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI), computer-assisted telephone interview (CATI)

While this British band's debut album came out in England last year, it's just being released in the US now. Like their first EP, it's an accomplished set of heart-tugging indie-pop, using both guitars and keyboards to sculpt soaring melodies that complement Kieran Scragg's achingly high, fragile vocals and poignant lyrics. 7/27/2004 - Don Yates
