You should love baseball. You really should. And the fact that you don't? Well it sucks for you and it sucks for our country.
I've been reading a lot of stories over the past year about TV ratings, attendance and overall interest in "America's pastime." (That I have to put that phrase in quotations makes me sick.) The bottom line is this: unarguably, baseball has been slacking. It's not dying, but it isn't thriving like it has for the past 100 years, either.
After 2001's emotional World Series between the Diamondbacks and the New York Yankees, which took place just over a month after Sept. 11, World Series viewership has been way down. The best TV results since came during Boston's 2004 World Series victory when they averaged over 25 million viewers. Although this seems like a nice number, it pales in comparison to the monster popularity of the '70s and '80s when the Series was regularly averaging over 35 million TV viewers, according to the Baseball Almanac.
In terms of attendance, not only is baseball not as successful as other sports in pulling a live audience — this is based on stadium size alone, though the 162 game schedule versus other sports' 16-game and 82-game schedule surely plays a factor in attendance density– but baseball's attendance has been lacking even by its own standards. CBS Chicago released a report last fall, noting that the MLB was facing a fourth straight year of total attendance decline. In other words, since 2007, baseball attendance has been subtly dwindling every season since.
To me, this wouldn't be such a problem if baseball's beauty wasn't being replaced by the odor-ridden, muscle-building concussion freak-show that is American football. Truly, I say this as a football fan. But mostly I say it as a fan of all sports: Give civility back. By making football the most popular sport in America, you took civility, stomped it and ran half the country's virtues into the ground.
Again, to emphasize, I like football a lot. I like playing it and watching it and writing about it. But to stand by and watch while it murders baseball? Would you stand by and watch a good friend try to kill your mother?
According to a recent Harris Poll, also reported by CBS, in 2010 when 2,200 adults were asked what their favorite sport was, 31 percent chose football at first place and 17 percent chose baseball. In just a year, though, the divide gaped. In 2011, 36 percent chose football compared to 13 percent for baseball.
I see the appeal. Similar to the circus, our minds are stimulated by the possibility of injury: the big hits and the 350-pound mammoths. The strategy in football is in no way simple, blocking schemes, hitch-and-go routes and five step drops litter the sport. I would argue, though, that a reason it has overtaken baseball is a lower common denominator of fan interest and intelligence. To sit down and watch a baseball game and enjoy it, you have to have a basic understand of the rules: balls and strikes, stolen bases and fielding. If you sit just to watch them hit the ball far, it may be a long night.
In football, though, you can be base. This isn't to say all football fans are base or even that most are, but an appeal over baseball is that you can be stupider. All you have to know is to run straight and stay on your feet. If you do that long enough, or you decide to kick the ball through some poles, you get points.
Whoever has more points wins in both sports, but the way you get those points is a bit more complex in baseball.
Baseball isn't the only sport affected by our desire as a country to enjoy something while understanding as little about it as possible, though; lacrosse is surging in colleges and high schools (places of education) but it isn't making much of a dent in the professional world. Cricket, a game enjoyed internationally, has never been embraced. Both games require some work to comprehend.
There is a scoring dilemma that has led people away from baseball that might be the most representational of our country's biggest issue. For the record, bigger isn't better. A common joke about low-scoring football games is that the scoreboard resembles a baseball final score, such as 7-0 or 10-6. Bobby might turn to his friend in the middle of his son's football game which is tied 6-6 and remark, "Hey! I didn't know I was coming to a baseball game today!"
This notion that football is more exciting because it's a higher scoring game is a complete misconception. Every time someone scores in football, they're rewarded with two, three, six or seven points. This system was created to differentiate which form of scoring should be most valuable to the final score, but it's turned into a cheap complement of the sport. The bottom line is that in a 5-3 baseball game, eight people scored. In a 28-21 football game, there were seven scores (extra points notwithstanding.) We as a culture, though, have decided that bigger numbers mean better sports and more excitement, more glory. But really people, what's wrong with 5-3? Why's everything got to be so big?
The most disturbing topic about interest in baseball dwindling is that it's the least racist sport. Though this is a huge, broad, charged statement, I honestly believe it.

Ebos takes 25% stake in pharmacy retailer, flags further acquisitions
By Suze Metherell
Aug. 27 (BusinessDesk) - Ebos Group, which trebled its annual profit after acquiring pharmaceutical wholesaler and distributor in Australia Symbion, has taken a quarter-stake in an Australian pharmacy retailer and is hunting for more.
The Christchurch-based healthcare and animal care manufacturer, which reported its full-year earnings today, said post-balance date it had secured a 25 percent stake in Good Price Pharmacy Warehouse, an Australian discount chemist retailer, for an undisclosed sum, which it says will add to 2015 year earnings. Outgoing managing director Mark Waller told BusinessDesk the company had more deals on the cards, without being more specific.
"We've looked at a heck of a lot in the last fiscal year despite the new big deal," Waller said. "We've got a work-in-progress on a number of opportunities, we turned down a lot already during the year that didn't cut the mustard for our criteria."
The $1.1 billion cash and scrip Symbion purchase in June 2013 was a game-changer for Ebos, more than tripling annual revenue in a deal that gave Symbion's owner Zuellig Group a cornerstone 40 percent stake in the New Zealand business. Net profit jumped to $92.1 million, or 62.8 cents a share, in the year ended June 30, its first full year after the acquisition, from $28.2 million, or 46.8 cents, a year earlier, while sales soared 216 percent to $5.76 billion.
"We've really set a new benchmark there," Waller said. The company doesn't give forward guidance, but expects the market to grow "in low single digits, at about 3 percent".
Australia now makes up 78 percent of sales and 80 percent of pretax earnings for the group. Changes to the country's Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme has seen the Australian government reduce the price of prescription medications, putting pressure on the drug retailing sector's margins. Waller said the PBS brings the country more in line with New Zealand's own Pharmac pricing model.
"We sit here in New Zealand and say, 'well big deal', we've already been through it and we're doing damn well despite all those changes," Waller said. "It's just a matter of adapting your model and growing your efficiencies."
Peter Davies is taking up the role as chief executive, while Waller will be elected as the board's chairman at next year's annual general meeting.
Shares of Ebos gained 1.6 percent to $9.60, and have slipped 2.6 percent this year while the benchmark NZX 50 Index rose 9.7 percent. The stock is rated a 'hold' based on the consensus of five analysts polled by Reuters, with a median price target of $10.29.

John, a 13 year old student of North Vancouver Christian Academy, was in acute pain, having stabbed himself with the sharp end of a pencil that morning. This accident took place just before the children gathered together, receiving words of knowledge from God and praying for each other. As John came forward, another student prayed a simple prayer of faith, laying her hands on him. Immediately the pain left and even the stab mark instantly disappeared. John, being filled with joy upon receiving his healing, rubbing his hands together, thanking God, exclaimed: "Even the bump is gone!" God is good! What He does is always good! And when He shows up good things happen!
The traditional Jewish wedding has three parts. The first part is called Shidukhin, meaning engagement. It is time when the man and woman, realizing their love, make promises to marry each other. This occasion would be celebrated and the marriage would be set at a future date. In Talmudic times, around 200 A.D., the groom would pay a dowry for his bride, literally purchasing her, and establish the covenant between them.
As the price was paid on Calvary, all that mankind lost in the Garden of Eden through the deception of Satan, Jesus has redeemed on the cross. Having made peace through His precious blood, Jesus destroyed the works of the enemy once and for all. And giving the gift of peace, in John 14:27 He tells us: "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid". That word peace, "eirene" in the Greek language, comes from the primary verb "eiro" meaning to join. So what Jesus is saying here is, as we come in to the covenant that He has ratified, we join to Him and access peace that He has for us, for He is our peace.
In Numbers 6:23 the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: "This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: 'The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace"'. Most people understand the Hebrew word "shalom" as meaning "peace", but that's only a small part of the full meaning of that word. As Jewish people greet or bid farewell to each other, they are saying much more then simply "hello" or "goodbye". According to Strong's Concordance 7965 Shalom also means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety, soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Shalom comes from the root verb shalom meaning to be complete, perfect and full. In modern Hebrew the related word "shelem" means to pay for, and "shulam" means to be fully paid.
Colossians 1:20 says, "And, having made peace through the blood of His cross". The world in the mist of turmoil is looking for peace, but only true Christians have it. And it's only available through the blood covenant with Christ. It is something Jesus paid for in full, and made it available to us. Not only did He paid the price for His bride to be free from the power of death, but gave His "shalom", the fullness of His provision. In Him we have total completeness, wholeness, health, and peace. His love purchased our welfare, our safety, our tranquility. We have fullness in Christ, rest and harmony. In Him we are perfect and complete.
In Hebrews 9:15 we read "For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance". On the hill of Golgotha, nailed to the cross, blood running down His bruised and beaten body, He said "It is finished". The dowry was paid for His bride. Just like a man from the Parable of the Hidden Treasure, who for the joy of over it goes and sells all that he has and buys that field, Jesus gave His all. He purchased His bride paying the supreme price, giving His life. In Hebrew 9:17 it says, "For a covenant is valid only when men are dead". He validated this New Covenant with His own blood, purchasing His bride, you and me, in the eternal act of love.
Jesus paid the ultimate price for His bride because she is worth it. Just like that man in Matthew 13:44, who found a great treasure, Christ found the treasure.
His bride is His greatest treasure.

we haven't discussed it with her pediatrician. I can pretty much predict when we are going to have a rough night. If it happened more often and i didn't have an explanation i would ask. I do find i get different answers from the nurse to the dr so maybe you can get the dr to call back. If you can get a copy of Ferber there is a chapter about it. I cannot find my copy but i think there is another term that can characterize something less than a night terror.

The Huntress | Sunshine Table | Ribbon and Bow Table | Pro Deus | DNA Coatrack | Monster Heart Display Case
Thaddeus Du Bois has the uncanny ability to come up with just the right amount of delicacy and danger in his lively and well-turned artworks to keep viewers enthralled. Even his smaller works give a feeling of massiveness while the larger pieces maintain a suggestion of filigree. Of The Huntress, made of hand forged steel, leather, wool, and cotton, he suggests that the person who carries this bag has the attitude to go with it. And of DNA Coatrack he muses how it can be changed and modified by adding or taking away people's outerwear as they come and go. Yet, his predispositions carry no conditions. He says that once his artworks leave his shop they're on their own to take on their own history and their own stories, either real or imagined.
Du Bois has a wide and varied education which includes graduate studies at Memphis College of Art, Memphis, TN, a BA in art from the University of Alaska in Anchorage, and Machinist's Mate Apprenticeship School, Great Lakes, IL. His long list of commissions includes the 2008 Alaska bronze commemorative statehood plaque, open edition until January 2010, and a 2009 commission for New Hope Christian Academy. He is one of three finalists chosen to memorialize sixty slave unmarked graves found near The Hermitage in Nashville, TN, and he has been commissioned to create various gates, including a completed Medieval gate for a horse pasture made of concrete, cultured stone, wood, and forged steel which is thirty feet wide by twelve feet tall by one foot thick.

With the release of Apple's latest iteration of iPad we thought it only fitting to feature an app which would allow you to take advantage of one of the few new features that the iPad 2 sports over its older sibling; in this case its front-facing camera.
Yes, with this photo-booth related offering you'll be able to re-live those moments of having your picture taken in a foul-smelling, dreary box; with the resulting image (after the obligatory 5 minute wait) giving you a look akin to a serial killer. It's just as well that the image would only be your official passport photo for the next 10 years.
- Format
- iPhone / iPod touch
- Price
- 59p
- Where
- iTunes
The other use for the infamous photo booth was when having a crazy time with buddies or a special friend, where you'd bundle into said dreary box to have your pic done, and its this experience that the app tries to jump on the back of (although Pocket-lint didn't get a special friend until 30 years of age and so is not talking from first-hand experience).
In practise and the app does everything very well with a quality feel throughout; the makers, Synthetic Corp, of Hipstamatic fame, clearly know how to put together a polished camera-based app.
Once you have everyone you want in frame, hit the button and you'll get four shots with four different retro effects, whereby you can share one or all of the photos through the usual channels. Time, date and location are also included.
There's no word on whether you'll be able to import lenses and filters from the Hipstamatic range, but if you're into the whole analogue-fad-on-digital-device thing then for the money this is well worth a look.

2005 Grant - Lott
Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease in Down Syndrome by Telemedicine
Ira T. Lott, M.D.
University of California, Irvine
Orange, California
2005 Senator Mark Hatfield Award in Clinical Research in Alzheimers Disease
People with Down syndrome are at a very high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and should be evaluated for the onset of dementia symptoms. As is true with the general population, people with Down syndrome may not have access to medical centers with clinicians experienced in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Consequently, a reliable method for remotely administering cognitive assessments and screening for Alzheimer's disease would be beneficial.
Ira T. Lott, M.D., and colleagues have used telemedicine, or doctor visits by phone, with people with Down syndrome and are investigating whether this approach may be used reliably in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease. In their investigation, 120 people with Down syndrome will undergo standard face-to-face diagnostic assessments. They will also be assessed via a telemedicine model. The researchers will evaluate the reliability of the telemedicine model by comparing it to the diagnostic outcomes of the standard procedure.
The outcome of this work may provide useful data about the utility of this approach and determine whether the telemedicine model may be useful in the general population living in remote locations.

Just a few quiet pictures taken with a little camera that Geoff found on Craigslist recently, a rangefinder called the Ricoh 500G. We're still learning how to use it, but it's a sweet thing. We took it with us on a recent trip to a greenhouse.
Previously Owned, Camille, Elena, Bre, Alison, m.bardeaux, jen, taylorkitto, isabelle, EvaForeva, Marinka, Ella: Thank you all for your sweet comments. I'm so happy you like it!

brittansalisbury: Oh, that's too bad. I didn't address it in depth because I don't feel qualified to do so -- I feel sad, I've donated as much as I can, I've discussed it with people, I've read plenty of first-hand accounts from people who are experiencing the devastation, but beyond that I'm not sure what to do. Maybe others are just as stuck? It's hard to keep posting pictures of things that seem silly, it's true.

I saw the greenhouse photos on your Flickr. Love them. Hannah of Foxtail & Fern visited a greenhouse recently and she reminded me how I must go back to the Conservatory of Flowers to take photos. It's so beautiful there. I wish I could have a future weekend home inspired by a conservatory or atrium. Ahhh one day. Cute camera!ReplyDelete

Progress Corticon provides tremendous flexibility in how you choose to implement your Business Rules Management System (BRMS). Read on as Prashant Thumma guides you through the benefits of each option.
I am a Software Architect who has worked on many enterprise products and frameworks. In each, I had to integrate, work with or orchestrate other third party solutions. It's a rare luxury to work on a totally new project where you get to make all the design decisions. More likely, you'll have to work with existing applications to fix or enhance them to solve new business needs.
When integrating solutions you often have to live with decisions made a while ago or have time constraints that prevent altering architectures. In all cases there are choices to be made, and you have to be aware of the benefits and the trade offs of each option.
BRMS solutions make the management of complex rules… manageable! You don't build a complete application using a BRMS solution. Instead, you integrate it or orchestrate it within your application. Progress Corticon is designed to provide flexible deployment options.
Corticon can be deployed as a part of both Java and .NET solutions, and is built to work in the following environments:
To help you determine which environment you may want to work with, let's look a little more closely at each one.
This is the most common deployment model used by Corticon customers. It allows Corticon to participate in deployments that leverage standards based Service Oriented Architecture. The SOAP deployment option has these characteristics:
REST API for decision service invocation is fairly new to Corticon, but it might quickly overtake the SOAP interface in new deployments. The REST API shares most of the benefits of the SOAP because of the decoupled nature of the architecture. The differences are:
Corticon, at its core, is just a library with a defined API. This library can be embedded into an application just as you would any third-party library. For Java it is provided as a few JAR files and for .NET it is provided as DLL assemblies. This deployment has the following characteristics:
Corticon is also available as a J2EE Stateless Session bean (EJB) that allows you to orchestrate Corticon as part of an application that leverages the full J2EE stack. This model allows you to invoke decision services via Java Messaging Service (JMS) or Remote Method Invocation (RMI). This is the least used option as most developers prefer the lighter weight alternatives.
Corticon provides a lot of flexibility to incorporate rules capabilities into your application. The model you use and the trade offs you make is your choice!
Prashant Thumma is a Software Architect at Progress. He is responsible for the technical direction of Corticon BRMS. He brings an extensive background in the areas of Business Rules, Complex Event Processing, Cloud and Distributed architectures.

John Druze, the last surviving member of Fordham University's football offensive line of the 1930's known as the Seven Blocks of Granite, died Tuesday in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 91.
His death was announced by Fordham.
During the 1920's, Notre Dame's line was dubbed the Seven Mules, and it opened paths for the backfield's Four Horsemen. Hype was still very much alive in college football a decade later when a fearsome Fordham line gained the spotlight.
With Fordham on track to go undefeated in 1936, Tim Cohane, the university's publicist, discovered a newspaper clipping from 1930 paying tribute to Fordham's linemen by calling them the Seven Blocks of Granite. Cohane revived the nickname for the Rams' 1936 and 1937 lines, and it was this second version that gained the greatest renown.
Druze, who was known as Tarzan, was the right end. He was captain of the 1937 team and was also its place-kicker.
The 1936 Rams finished 5-1-2 and lost a possible Rose Bowl bid when they were upset by New York University at Yankee Stadium, 7-6, in the season's final game.Continue reading the main story
"That was always a blood game," Druze told Newsday in 1986, referring to the rivalry. "Forget about the records. It was like Purdue and Notre Dame."
Fordham's 1936 team shut out three opponents and gave up only 33 points.
The 1937 Rams were 7-0-1 and held five opponents scoreless.
Druze's best-known teammate on the Seven Blocks of Granite was Vince Lombardi, the Pro Football Hall of Fame coach of the Green Bay Packers, who played right guard. But Alex Wojciechowicz, the all-American center and later a Hall of Fame player with the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, was the star of the Fordham line.
The other linemen were right tackle Al Babartsky, who later shortened his name to Bart, and was, by his recollection, the biggest block at 6 foot 1 and 220 pounds; left guard Nat Pierce; left tackle Ed Franco; and left end Leo Paquin.
Druze played for the National Football League's Brooklyn Dodgers in 1938, then became an assistant to Coach Frank Leahy at Boston College. Leahy had coached the Seven Blocks of Granite as an aide to Fordham's head coach, Jim Crowley, one of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen.
When Leahy became the Notre Dame head coach in 1941, Druze joined him as an assistant, and he became a mentor to Leon Hart, an end who won the 1949 Heisman Trophy.
Druze, a native of Irvington, N.J., left Notre Dame to become head coach at Marquette, where he served from 1956 to 1958.
He is survived by his wife, Rose; his daughters, Dottie Druze and Jody Faker; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
The Seven Blocks of Granite were stars on the sports pages, and they certainly earned their acclaim. But the players were treated the same as all Fordham students. As Druze recalled a half-century later, "You hit the books, you're back on the field and you hit the books again."Continue reading the main story

Heavier fabricVerified Buyer Reviewed by Klsflyer from Louisville, KY on Wednesday, September 10, 2014I didn't mind the overall fit(5'9"-140-34B). I ordered the small and didn't have any issue with snug vs loose anywhere(I don't have much of a chest or waist though) but I can see where a shorter person would feel neckline/coverage issues per other reviews. I liked the strap design, I did not like the heaviness of the fabric. It didn't feel like it would breathe when I tried it on in my house, so I knew I'd get hot spots when I worked out in it. The design was nice. I just need performance/comfort over style.
Love the pattern and the colorVerified Buyer Reviewed by kajoyc712 from New Jersey on Sunday, June 22, 2014As a result of the reviews, ordered an XS which I buy maybe a third of the time, and it was the right move. Love the fabric, the criss cross shoulder straps, the purple color is gorgeous, but the cons are that it is not as long as some of my tops, and the neckline is a deep slowly plunging "U" neckline. I had originally ordered the charcoal and purple, but because of the neckline, only kept the purple. It would probably be OK if you were smaller chested, but I am a little bigger, so when exercising, the one I kept has to be adjusted up, and then down in the back. Luckily my activities are low impact (barre, yoga and pilates), so it does not bother me all that much.
Almost, but not quiteReviewed by Sectionhiker 2 from Rural California on Thursday, April 11, 2013A little undersized for the sisters. I gave it away to a smaller-busted friend.
Odd FitReviewed by SheShe914 from NYC metro on Sunday, January 20, 2013This piece is adorable however, I have major fit problems with Marmot's women's fitness garments. I ordered a medium and found it to be to big in overall fit and the "shelf bra" was laughable. I am 5'7" , 133lbs and 34B and I would have to wear a jog bra underneath. Additionally the straps lengths were so long and loose and I am taller than average and lean. I typically wear size 6 in street clothes and s/m in fitness clothes. I cannot help but think NO WOMAN is involved in the design of Marmots fitness clothing. I am a BIG fan of their winter gear but cannot recommend their womens fitness clothing - steer clear!

Pole star will not be a Pole star forever
Pole Star
There is one star in our night sky that appears to be fixed at one position. This is the Pole star. This is the reference point in the study of Astronomy. In the past years the travellers on the land and the sea water have used it to find directions. When the night sky is photographed at regular intervals, all the stars appear in circular paths around the Pole star. But we are going to lose this Pole star. You want to know the reason. Read this hub.
The earth is spheroid in shape and it rotates about its axis in the anticlockwise (west to east) direction. The sun and the moon do not always lie in the equatorial plane. Therefore the resultant force of attraction of either the sun or the moon does not pass through the centre of gravity of the earth. Any force which does not pass through the centre of gravity of a body rotating uniformly about its axis affects the axial rotation. Thus due to the attractive influence of the sun, the earth's axis of rotation undergoes a slow conical motion around the normal to the plane of the ecliptic (the path of the apparent annual motion of the sun) in the clockwise direction (east to west).
The inclination of lunar orbit to the ecliptic is only 5o. Therefore the major portion of moon's attractive influence may be taken to lie in the plane of ecliptic. This force together with the force exerted by the sun produces lunisolar precession. Due to this the earth's axis of rotation slowly describes a cone around the normal to the ecliptic in the retrograde direction completing one revolution in the course of about 25,870 years. This is called precessional period.
Songs We love to hear
Due to precession, the pole of the celestial sphere (the sphere we imagine on which the stars are fixed to study) describes a circle of radius 23o 27' about the pole of the ecliptic once in a period of about 25,870 years. Therefore every star in the path of the celestial pole will have the chance of being the pole star at different periods. So today's pole star will not be a pole star forever. In a few thousand years it will lose its claim to be called the pole star.
There is a verse in the Rig Veda observing the winter solstice in Aries. From this we can predict that the period of Vedas may be around 6500 BC. In 2700 BC the star Thuban was the pole star. Now our pole star is Polaris (that is why the reference point/origin is called the pole). In future, say, around 6400 AD, the star Cepheus will be our pole star. If Time permits you, please check this and send me a greeting card.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
Have bought a pair for my daughter and they are better than any other premium brand, they give that extra grip for her big moving dressage pony and really helps with sitting trot.
Fantastic customer service and fantastic products thought of and designed by a rider for a rider. Products come beautifully gift wrapped too.
Mine came today, absolutely love them
I've just ordered three ! One in each colour . Can't wait to try them especially as working towards sitting trot for dressage when I get back . Excellent customer service
Mine have arrived and I LOVE them!! Super comfy, stylish and very flattering- in fact have just ordered another pair- that's how good they are!!! Excellent service!!
Being an " Equestrian" I practically live in my breeches. I would have more pairs of breeches than jeans, dresses or even shoes! So when I jumped at the opportunity to add these Aiver Sport 4D Breeches to my wardrobe I was eager to test them out.
A couple of days later they arrived and I ripped off the packaging and held them out in front of me. The first thing I noticed was the elegant shape of the breeches and the excellent material that Aiver Sport has used to design these riding trousers. As I began to slip them on straight away I knew these were going to be very comfortable. I love their Lycra ankle material they have used. This makes them so easy to put on and having no seem on your ankle means no uncomfortable pressure points and this is a must for the breeches I wear.
I looked in the mirror and the high waisted style makes these breeches very flattering and you feel supported. You can't miss the gel strips on the breeches and there is no other way to describe this gel as pure grip.
As I climbed onto the first horse of the day to exercise I was keen to see how they felt. Straight away although I felt very supported by these breeches I did not feel restricted in anyway. I now understand why they call them 4D breeches because they do stretch in 4 ways allowing you complete freedom of movement when riding.
The gel technology is simply brilliant and I can only describe it as feeling closer to the horse but in no way did I feel sticky or even stuck to my saddle, just the feeling of having a very secure seat.
The other thing that I loved about these breeches is that they have decent size pockets for your phone. These pockets are very discreet with a secure zip on the outside and they are perfect for your phone, money or whatever else you would like to have with you whilst riding or about the yard.
I would highly recommend these breeches to any equestrian in any discipline of the sport. Aiver Sport have very much done their homework on what a rider wants and have produce an excellent bit of engineering. I most definitely will be wearing theses breeches in the future and they will take prime spot in my wardrobe.
Happy Riding,
I have these breeches and can safely say the are the most comfortable breeches I have ever ridden in , they just fit perfectly and importantly they don't slip down as I hate nothing more than having to pull my breeches up all the time !!
These are the best breeches I have ever had!

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Union were full of moves and surprises at the 2014 MLS SuperDraft on Thursday at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
The Union made three trades in the first round, including swapping their second pick with D.C. United, which had the first pick for allocation money. And instead of selecting a defender or even midfielder, positions of need, they grabbed goalie Andre Blake with the top pick.
Despite having established starter Zac MacMath in goal for the past two years and apparent goalie of future Zack Steffen, who is a Homegrown Player, the Union made the Jamaican goalie the first keeper to be picked first overall in the history of the draft.
Obviously, the Union went with the best player available rather than with immediate need.
"Blake is clearly a guy who has a bright future," Union head coach John Hackworth said. "He has an excellent career at UConn but he is a Jamaican international already. This is a guy through our homework and recruiting that he has even more upside.
"He needs a little bit of time but we eventually given ourselves a guy that if something happens to Zac we have a guy that can step in and be incredible valuable for our team and the future."
Even though they had the second pick, the Union knew Blake was going to go first overall – either to D.C. or another team that made a trade for the top pick. They acted quickly and beat other teams to the punch to swing the deal with D.C.
Blake, who was named Big East Goalkeeper of the Year at UConn, impressed at the MLS Player Combine in Florida. He allowed 15 goals in 20 games last season while leading the Huskies to the Elite 8 for the third consecutive year.
In most mock drafts Blake was slated to go No. 3 to the Vancouver Whitecaps.
"It's a great feeling (to be picked No. 1). It comes with pressure because you were picked No. 1," Blake said. "You have to show them that it was a good choice taking me at No. 1. But I am a goalkeeper so I have been under pressure my whole life. I am just going to work hard on the pitch and show them that it was a good choice."
Hackworth didn't mince words when he stated that MacMath, who has started in goal for the Union the last two years, has not lost his job. MacMath, who was taken fifth overall by the Union in 2011, started all 34 games last season.
"Zac is still our starter," Hackworth said. "But he is the only goalie on our roster but now we have good competition for him a guy who was on almost every team's draft board as the No. 1 player in the draft."
While he was being interviewed on the draft stage, the huge throng of Union fans – the Sons of Ben - in attendance serenaded him with "you're one of us" chants.
"That was great. I haven't (even played for them yet) and I loved that, they seem so supportive, and that is something that I like," Blake said. "Maybe the reality of it hasn't hit me yet (being taken No. 1) but yeah it's crazy."
After trading their sixth pick with Dallas for the 10th pick, the Union then traded the 10th pick with Toronot for the 15 selection and received allocation money with each deal. They finally kept that selection and took midfielder Pedro Ribeiro out of Coastal Carolina.
In the second round the Union went with a pair of defenders. With the sixth pick in the second round, the Union took defender Kevin Cope, who could play in the center, out of Michigan State. Twp picks later the Union picked defender Robert Derschang out of the University of Akron. Derschang plays left back and has attacking skills as well.
Rounds three and four will be on next week via teleconference.
"I think we accomplished everything that we wanted," Hackworth said. "It's a difficult situation with a lot of fluidity and changes coming fast and furious today but when you look at it on the whole we got the best player available and we took care of all of our needs and we picked up allocation money. We took care of our positional needs with our second round picks with guys I didn't think would be there. So we feel really good about today."Contact Eric Goldstein at 856-845-9478 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Tiny Welly Boot Paintings
Three of the tiny welly boot paintings just delivered to The Doorway Gallery today. They measure just 15x15cm (canvas size) and I think they are pretty cute, if I say so myself. :-)
The tiny welly boot paintings are part of a new body of work available to preview before they go over to London for the 20|21 International Art Fair next month. Invites available from The Doorway Art Gallery.
Limited Edition Prints
For the last year I've been working on the possibility of making prints available of some of my paintings. I've a lot of work done already even just in getting the images captured from the original paintings. And I would want any prints I would make to be top quality, using the best papers and inks and of course limited edition.
I am still working on it but I am hopeful that before too long I will be able to announce something. Fingers crossed.
Here we are working on proofs. It's all very exciting :-)

N.H. firm seeks 'the way life should be'
BIDDEFORD, Maine - Looking to further increase its business across New England to address a high demand for fire systems, East Coast Security Solutions has opened a new office here in January.
The new location is the second for the full-service security provider - with the other office located in Salem, N.H. With the location up and running, the company, which currently employs 17, services Maine, New Hampshire and northern Massachusetts.
Mark Dufour said the decision to open a location in Maine stemmed upon an increased demand for fire installations.
"There seems to be a growing need for fire protection in the area,†Dufour said. "Southern Maine is bustling right now.â€Â
The increased interest in fire installs, said Dufour, comes largely from The Station nightclub fire in Rhode Island in 2003, an event that killed 100 people.
"Since Sept. 11 and the Rhode Island fire, life safety has been brought into the forefront,†Dufour said. "Fire marshals and inspectors around New England are much more aggressive in their inspection process, checking to see that all commercial buildings are code compliant.â€Â
Dufour said updates in fire codes in the New England area, including Maine, have also made business opportunities in the fire systems market readily available.
Launched in 1990, the company began by installing security alarms as well as some fire and small camera systems. Today, 75 percent of its business is high-end commercial, fire systems and access control projects, according to Bonnie Flynn, vice president of operations at the company.
She said the company's success is due to its strong reputation in its current service areas.
"I think our continued growth is directly related to our reputation, which is based upon integrity and professionalism,†she said. "Our customers have learned that we don't oversell them, instead we try to design a system that meets their needs.â€Â
Plans are for the company to expand into more markets. "We would like to continue our growth into the Maine area,†Flynn said.

Commissioners will not allow a gate to be installed at the north
pier parking lot entrance.
ANNA MARIA – Chair Chuck Webb dismissed a request from city pier tenant Mario Schoenfelder to put up a gate at the north parking lot and charge those who don't use the pier facilities.
"It's not really practical," Webb stressed. "The tenant doesn't have the right to all that property, just the right to use a number of parking spaces. We're not in a partnership; we're a landlord and a tenant.
"For all intents and purposes, they own those parking spaces. Under the lease, they're responsible to do what they need to do to maintain them and to maintain them and keep non-customers from using them. I see it as a private property issue."
He said Schoenfelder can put up no parking signs and signs warning that violators will be towed.
Regarding pier repairs and maintenance, Mayor Mike Selby explained that Schoenfelder is responsible for maintenance of the structure, which is inspected weekly by the public works director and the code enforcement officer.
"Mr. Schoenfelder and I sat down last year and talked about the possibility of the city taking over the maintenance of the pier," Selby said. "As we get closer to the end of the lease term, I get more concerned about how our assets are being taken care of."
Selby said maintenance costs have ranged from $18,000 per year to $54,000 per year. He and Schoenfelder discussed a figure of $36,000 per year, which the city would deduct from the rent, if it assumed the maintenance.
Commissioner Jo Ann Mattick asked about major damage from a storm, and Selby said insurance is too expensive. Commissioners told Selby to continue talks with Schoenfelder.
Commissioner SueLynn suggested that they seek funds from the Manatee County Tourist Development Council for pier maintenance.

Holiday, year-end wrap up
As I sit in my cubicle, after finishing some contractually necessary reporting that few (if any) will bother to read {until even} after the holiday, I find myself posting one of the last posts to this blog of the year.
The Christmas holidays were, well, not as bright as the could have/should have been. Nothing tragic, mind you, but the kids were sick. MBH was sick. I even caught their bug over the weekend. Yeah, it sucked.
We delayed Christmas in our house a few days, so the kids could spend the day enjoying themselves.... we had to reschedule the visits to the local family, and cancel my folks' annual to-do in Queens. That was a big disappointment: my folks always want my 3 brothers and I to celebrate Christmas with them, and each year there seems to be a reason one of us doesn't make it. Two of my brothers are on Long Island, but one lives in New Hampshire and we're out in PA, so it's getting harder to get us all under the same roof. We'll try to get in to them this weekend, but certainly my brother and his fam from NH most likely won't be there, understandably.
And there are other headaches around the house that have to be dealt with. But many of them will be done by the time the spring weather is upon us.
This is the time of year when you're supposed to look back and reflect on things in your life (or so we're all told):
In my real life, it's been a fairly quiet year, thankfully. Work has handed me new responsibilities (read: headaches) but considering my salary requirements I have no complaints. We're all healthy -- well, healthy enough, not to have to complain too much. And the cars are all humming along. The house is still holding together, but the to-do list gets longer and longer, so I will have to redouble my efforts to get more and more done each weekend.
Sidebar: On a related note, Wired reports something that certainly interests me:
A nasal spray containing a naturally occurring brain hormone called orexin A reversed the effects of sleep deprivation in monkeys, allowing them to perform like well-rested monkeys on cognitive tests. The discovery's first application will probably be in treatment of the severe sleep disorder narcolepsy.
The treatment is "a totally new route for increasing arousal, and the new study shows it to be relatively benign," said Jerome Siegel, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA and a co-author of the paper. "It reduces sleepiness without causing edginess."
YEAH!!! Sign me up as a tester!!!
In my social circle, I know a few people who aren't as happy as they'd like to be with the career choices, but are grateful that they have them. They may not have the most money in the world, but they are certainly making the most with what they have.
I know a gal who is one of the most charming people you'd ever meet, and yet fails repeatedly to make wise choices in her mate, and winds up sorry, all too frequently.
Elsewhere, in the number of people I know through this semi organized social network of blogging (I do so hate the term blogosphere): some welcomed new births, some lost loved ones to old age. One fine person has come to learn their mate didn't see things the same way (although I am still hoping it is a case of temporary insanity), and yet another launched a career as an author.
More than one fellow blogger (and another person to whom I am personally known) is experiencing health issues - or, as a parent, are experiencing medical issues through their child - that I wouldn't wish on a enemy.Two other fine bloggers had big years in opposite (apparently) directions, and both of whom I've linked to many times over the years: one left her old blog to start a new one, heralding her new life with a new mate. The other.... well, the other described a personal medical issue in a post in August, and has since seemingly vanished altogether. Of course, I wish both of these good souls well.
Looks like there's a lot of up and down; a pity we can't all be on the positive side of things (There are other folks I am forgetting, of course, but the good feelings go with them as well.).
But it's a new year, so we're supposed to assume the slate will be cleaned1 and we're starting new. Basically, I don't get that notion: it's just another calendar, just another day. In the past I've ranted about the futility of waiting for New Years to resolve to do/change/start/stop something, so I am at least consistent in my reasoning.
Yet, if others find comfort in starting fresh, I certainly hope that works for them. For me, the time to start anything new is here and now, regardless of the calendar page..... maybe, tomorrow morning, but that's the extent of it.
Regardless of our own lot, we have a much to be thankful for in our lives. We may be far from perfection (whatever the hell perfect means), but we can concede were better off than a lot of people in this world. And each day we start to work our way towards a better life, only occasionally forgetting that there are others who would be MORE THAN happy to trade with us. Many of those people, for example, couldn't access the Internet (much less this blog) if their life depended on it.
Tonight, unlike some others, I'll be home. No parties for us... MBH may well be asleep around 10PM (she's still fighting the cold we've all fought). I'm looking forward to watching the ball drop (and the Shamokin, PA Coal Drop - wish I had picture-in-picture!), then flipping over to watch The Honeymooner's Marathon on WPIX-11, occasionally switching around to see the 'ball drop' from other timezones-- all of which will be done with glass of bourbon in hand, quietly ringing in the new year. Maybe I'll post in the wee hours... the first of the new year.
I keep hearing a lyric from Semisonic going around my head:
Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...
Tomorrow is a new year, a new month, and a new day. Here's hoping you and yours make the most of your new beginning.
