What do you think about the COMBAT Portent Tee Ball Bat: PORTB1 ?

1 Product Reviews
Questions and Answers
Got a question about the COMBAT Portent Tee Ball Bat: PORTB1? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
does it come in orange color?
The COMBAT Portent Tee Ball Ball Bat (PORTB1) only comes in the color displayed.
Is this bat OK for use with a pitching machine? My son is 4 years old and plays in a PONY Shetland division all star league. I see that Tee ball is not written on the bat, which was one requirement, and it has the 1.15 stamp. Officially it is a tee ball bat correct?
The COMBAT Portent T-Ball (PORTB1) would not be rated to face any type of pitch speed so use with a pitching machine would be harmful to the bat and it would almost certainly break. It is an official tee ball bat that would only be rated for that style of play.
My son is playing Farm (coach pitch). Is this bat suited for coach pitch baseball?
This COMBAT Portent T-Ball: (PORTB1) is a Tee Ball Bat that really isn't made to hit a pitched ball. Even one that is coming in at the low speeds that Coach Pitch sees. For better durability, I would consider a "Youth" bat on our website. Those bats have the same 2 1/4" barrel diameter and would hold up better to a pitched ball. This Portent is lighter and shorter than most Youth models, but it just might not hold up well in a Coach Pitch league.
Product Description
The all new COMBAT Portent tee ball baseball bat is ready to hit the field this season! For those of you that have never experienced the COMBAT difference, here is what you can expect: a swing weight that is right on point, a sweet spot that's almost not even fair, and zero sting/vibration. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It all starts with COMBAT's Variable Stiffness Technology that allows their engineers to lower barrel wall stiffness on both sides of the normal sweet spot, resulting in an enlarged sweet spot area where absolute maximum performance can be achieved! The 100% composite, one-piece Portent utilizes COMBAT's SmartPly Technology for consistent wall thickness from knob to end cap and maximum durability. The Portent draws much of its durability from its Seamless Construction; meaning that there are not cuts or splices - just continuous fiber all the way around. Feel, Durability, and Sweet Spot. That's what makes COMBAT the preferred composite bat. COMBAT: For Players, By Players! The Portent features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
About COMBAT
Thank you. You guys are great to deal with. This is the second bat we have ordered from you. I will recommend you to my friends.

Excuse the brevity but our heads are a little sore this morning. So here are a few things we saw at the Browns Shoe Store opening after-party with Nicholas Kirkwood at 21, Portman Square.
1. Crowd flying the LFW flag: multiple Peter Pilotto & Christopher Kane dresses.
2. Crowd not loving the long stone staircase: S/S '09 Kirkwood for Rodarte shoes proved especially difficult.
3. Balconies heaving with Vogue-tipped-smokers relishing being able to smoke indoors (kinda) after a few Belvedere drinks.
4. Louise Gray showcasing her new A/W '09 purple sheer dress – and a neat little top-knot.
5. Nicholas Kirkwood throwing some serious moves around the dance floor.
6. At least four Leigh Lezark look-a-likes.
7. The real Leigh Lezark DJ-ing.
8. 1980s music.
9. A v cool impromptu fashion shoot in the street outside.
One down – too many more to go tonight...

Future of Integration
Germany needs a fundamental change in perspective when it comes to integrating immigrants into society. Given the demographic shifts that are currently making themselves felt, integration is now an issue that impacts all aspects of life within the country. Attitudes that have until now associated immigrants with difficulties and problems must thus be replaced by a recognition of the potential that newcomers have to offer and the many ways that Germany benefits from diversity. It's a pressing issue, since the country will need to welcome more immigrants in coming decades if it wants to remain economically and demographically viable. At the same time, however, the economic crisis is making the needed shift to a new mindset more difficult. Given current social tensions, the challenge is therefore to find ways of creating a new sense of cohesion among native-born Germans and immigrants while simultaneously promoting acceptance in the political and social spheres for greater levels of immigration.
Focus Areas
Kooperationsveranstaltung mit der Böllstiftung
Die Rhetorik rund um den Begriff des Multikulturalismus rückte im Jahr 2010 in das Blickfeld der medialen Aufmerksamkeit, als prominente Köpfe der Regierungen in Frankreich, Deutschland und Großbritannien das Konzept des "Multikulturalismus" als gescheitert erklärten. Unsicherheit entstand, ob die Politik des Multukulturalismus wirklich als gescheitert zu betrachten ist und wenn ja, welche Politikstrategie sie ersetzen sollte. Die Podiumsdiskussion " Multicultural Politics: Success, Failure, and the Future",die die Bertelsmann Stiftung in Kooperation mit der Böll Stiftung am 14. November 2012 in der Canadischen Botschaft durchführt, nimmt die traditionelle Bedeutung des Begriffes Multikulturalismus in den westlichen Staaten in den Blick. Welche verschiedenen Modelle des Multikulturalismus haben sich entwickelt und welche Auswirkungen auf den sozialen Zusammenhalt der jeweiligen Gesellschaft haben sie? Eine fundierte Diskussion soll die Debatte über Vielfalt, sozialen Zusammenhalt und Integration in Deutschland und Europa befördern. Einen Programmflyer finden Sie rechts als Download.more
Integration and Communities
In terms of their future viability, integration is one of the most important challenges communities currently face. In addition to major metropolitan areas, where immigrants comprise some 30 percent of the overall population, rural regions also need to find proactive approaches for helping people of different ethnic backgrounds live together in harmony. The Bertelsmann Stiftung publishes background data and studies relating to the topic of integration and organizes events that focus on identifying successful integration policies. A workshop has also been developed for policymakers, public administrators and members of migrant communities. In addition, our Internet portal www.wegweiser-kommune.de offers information on exemplary integration policies as well as key data on specific communities.more
Migration and Integration in Europe
With the recent EU enlargement, the topic of managing migration and immigration has gained renewed interest. The Bertelsmann Stiftung has been drafting proposals for a universal immigration law for Europe since 1992. In order to bring new momentum to the integration agenda in Germany and Europe, the Bertelsmann Stiftung has joined with the Migration Policy Institute in Washington DC to found the Transatlantic Council on Migration, which is developing strategic proposals for innovative migration and integration policies.more
Helping Immigrants Get Involved
The key to helping immigrants integrate is making sure they have adequate opportunity to participate in society. Above all, this means ensuring there is equal inclusion in the educational system and job market, as well as in civil society and politics. For such participation to be possible, immigrants must accept Germany's basic laws and values. Together with German President Johannes Rau, the Bertelsmann Stiftung organized a national competition in 2002 to call attention to the importance of helping immigrants become involved in their communities. With its new Leadership Program for next-generation managers from migrant organizations, the foundation is helping create "bridge-builders" capable of helping others integrate.more
Unsere Generation ZUkunft
Migration und Integration gehören zu den zentralen Themen unserer Zeit. Im Fokus stehen die mit Zuwanderung und kultureller Vielfalt verbundenen Themen und Herausforderungen: Bildung, Arbeitsmarktbeteiligung, Demographie, Sicherheit, gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt und das Verhältnis von Religion und Staat. Was bedeutet Integration? Was hält unsere Gesellschaft zusammen und wie können wir unsere gemeinsame Zukunft gestalten? Was verbindet und was trennt uns? Was macht unsere Kultur aus? Und was bedeutet eigentlich Zusammengehörigkeit?
Managing Diversity
A democracy is based on values and competencies such as tolerance, civic-mindedness and a willingness to participate. Such values do not develop by themselves, but require active support. Together with a number of partners, the Bertelsmann Stiftung has developed educational programs that foster such attitudes and skills at an individual level. Given society's increasing individualization and pluralization, new structures and opportunities for getting involved are required, since "participation is the principle that underlies politics" (Volker Gerhardt). Such opportunities -- in the form of new ideas and approaches -- are necessary if Germany's democracy is to be strengthened through increased civic engagement.more
Fighting Right-Wing Extremism
Immigration in Germany has long been a taboo topic, something that has helped promote xenophobia and right-wing extremism among the general population. Today, such attitudes are no longer to be found only among society's more marginalized members. Some 40 percent of Germans now agree with the statement that the country has become "non-German to a dangerous degree." Such sentiments strike at the heart of Germany's democracy and its social cohesion, and they demonstrate that right-wing extremism will remain a pressing problem for years to come. At the same time, right-wing extremism is not only a German problem, but one that has made itself felt throughout Europe. What can Germany learn from its European neighbors in this regard?more

Cuccidati Recipe
- 2 cups raisins
- 3/4 pound pitted dates
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 small navel oranges, peeled and quartered
- 1/3 pound dried figs
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup 2% milk
- 2 teaspoons McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons 2% milk
- Place the first seven ingredients in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Divide dough into four portions; cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Roll out each portion between two sheets of waxed paper into a 16-in. x 6-in. rectangle. Spread 1 cup filling lengthwise down the center of each. Starting at a long side, fold dough over filling; fold the other side over the top. Pinch seams and edges to seal. Cut each rectangle diagonally into 1-in strips. Place seam side down on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Bake at 400° for 10-14 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Combine confectioners' sugar and enough milk to achieve desired consistency; drizzle over cookies. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 5 dozen.
Reviews for Cuccidati
Sort By :
"This was our first attempt at making these cookies. I more or less followed this recipe, but substituted whiskey for the water, and added 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp cloves to the filling mix. I did this because those ingredients were included in an old recipe I had from an Italian Catholic Church recipe book. We also divided the dough into 8 parts...to make smaller cookies. The large ones are very good, but if you are going to be putting out cookie trays we felt it was nice to have them a little smaller. We also found that rolling them out on parchment paper worked easier than the wax paper...the wax paper was more difficult to separate from the cookie when we had to fold the dough over. The cookies are very yummy and we will most certainly make this recipe again!"
"I rated this recipe as average because it is missing a lot of true cuccidati ingredients. There should be more figs. I usually use 2 lbs to 3/4 lbs of dates. There is no need for sugar if you use a orange, apricot or strawberry presevere along with candied fruit. There is no need for water this is where you add the alcohol. There has to be some type of rum, whiskey or brandy added to these to make it a true cuccidati. The dough is pretty close to my grandmothers but it is missing a little orange extract. I usually do 1/2 vanilla 1/2 orange. Gives it a great flavor. I can even make the dough as a dunking cookie and people go crazy over them."
"This is the second time trying this recipe. It was easier to make this time but I did change things up a little. I used butter instead of Crisco. In place of dates, I used prunes. I forgot to get oranges so I used a jar of grapefruit segments. Cookies taste awesome and just as good as the original recipe."
"Terrific Recipe!! Many compliments on the fine taste. Colorful.Marcia"
"The dough was to thin, I needed to add more flour. It would be nice if the fruit was in cups rather than pounds. But the cookie was very good."

"Allo quoi !"
We start with Nicolas Sarkozy who is under formal investigation for "breach of trust", this in relation to alleged illegal fundraising for his 2007 campaign. A Bordeaux court is investigating whether the former President was in receipt of funds from L'Oréal heiress, Liliane Bettencourt. Also, the latest catch phrase in France is "Allo quoi!" - we look into its reality tv origins.

Part 10: Fugue IV
Part 11: Chorale
Part 12: Stretta
Bach's The Art of Fugue, an uncompleted sequence of studies in fugal writing called Contrapuncti ('his last and greatest work', according to Busoni), is a compendium of contrapuntal skills at that summit of perfection to which the great master had taken them at the end of his life. Its final fugue, Contrapunctus XIV, was in Busoni's words 'planned on four fugue subjects, of which two are complete and the third commenced'. In the manuscript, a note thought to be in the hand of his son, Carl Philipp Emanuel, states that 'At this point where the theme B–A–C–H becomes the countersubject, the composer died', although some scholars believe that the work was abandoned at an earlier date. In any event, a quadruple fugue is a fearsome event. In the first place the four themes must at some point combine, and the additional possibilities of interlocking countersubjects and their inversions become, as Busoni suggested, 'as numerous as chess moves'. Conjecture as to the identity of the missing fourth subject was pursued by musicologists with the same fervour as mathematicians unravelling an unproven theorem. From his encounters with two German-born scholars then living in Chicago, Busoni was satisfied that the theme must be the opening subject of Contrapunctus I, which met all the requirements of compatibility and thus would 'close the circle of the whole work'. He then set about completing Fugue III and composing Fugue IV, initially with a fairly vague idea of creating 'something between a composition by C[ésar] Franck and the Hammerklavier Sonata'.
No sooner had his first version been published under the title Grosse Fuge, Busoni withdrew it and started work on the version heard here, which he named Fantasia contrappuntistica, edizione definitiva. Later two further versions appeared: a simplified and abbreviated Versio minore and a version for two pianos.
Where Bach had been constrained by the laws of harmony as they then existed (though stretching them to the limit), Busoni decided that he should honour Bach's genius while pursuing each line according to its own integrity and logic thus creating new and viable harmonies for his own time. 'But new harmony could only arise naturally from the foundation of an extremely cultivated polyphony and establish a right for its appearance; this requires strict tuition and a considerable mastery of melody.' And it is sometimes startling to discover that the most jarring moments have their origin not far away in Bach. A case in point is the tumultuous pile-up in the final Stretta which emanates from Contrapunctus VIII.
Busoni devoted as much thought to the overall form as to the contrapuntal detail. He went so far as to add drawings to represent the architecture of his conception—a ship with five taut sails ('moving over difficult waters') superimposed on a cross ('the form of a cathedral') and a building whose doors represent the different 'chapters' of his narrative.
His most radical change from the Grosse Fuge (and an inspired one) was to begin the work with an evocative Prelude based on the ancient chorale 'Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr', not such a huge task since much of it existed already as one of his Elegies. In Fugues I, II and III, Busoni follows the plan of Contrapunctus XIV more or less exactly but adds his own voice in several ways, notably in the vastly extended compass and the chromatic modification of some voices to accord with his logical 'modern' vision of harmony, together with the insertion of references to a fifth theme of his own device which is first heard at the beginning of the piece. Another feature is the anchoring of Fugue I on a deep pedal D, causing it to emerge as if from a great depth, something we can observe in the distortions of old music 'through a glass darkly' of composers like Berio and Schnittke at the other end of the twentieth century. There follow an eerie Intermezzo (misticamente, visionario), three Variations of increasing complexity and a Cadenza before Fugue IV, which (of necessity) is entirely Busoni's own composition. An ethereal reminiscence of the opening chorale presages the hectic Stretta before three imposing statements of the subject of Fugue I (two partial, one decisive) bring the huge edifice to a fittingly grand conclusion.
Easy listening it is certainly not, and it has been argued that the density of Busoni's contrapuntal mesh makes it at times 'unhearable', even if it were played by a computer. This fear, in turn, has led some commentators and performers to adopt a disengaged rationality towards his music. All the evidence—and there is plenty of it including one pricelessly illuminating recording of Busoni playing a single Prelude and Fugue by Bach—leads to the conclusion that his goals were heightened expression through indefatigable work allied to unerring artistic instinct. The expression marks in the Fantasia contrappuntistica, although sparing, encompass both the practical (quasi trombe dolci, vivace misurato, continuando) and the emotional, even spiritual (gemendo, ansioso, misticamente).
Busoni believed that Bach and Mozart showed us that music can somehow reach beyond the realm of man and should not be overly concerned with the day to day struggles and sensations of existence. The Fantasia's manifold inspirations multiply with repeated hearings when felicities can suddenly emerge that at first were buried in the welter of activity; so perhaps it is ideally suited to the modern recording medium. This said, Busoni can be credited with a real 'music of the future'. Whether he achieved his other aim of creating 'one of the most significant works of modern piano literature' may remain eternally under debate but, since its fascination continues to intrigue after more a century, it was far more than an idle boast.

All that is a question of terminology. The classic terminology is mitigation opposed to avoidance. Mitigation being fixed and resulting mainly from armor and stance, and avoidance being statistical and resulting mainly from dodge, parry and misses. I know.
But while I'm not that familiar with english, I have a clear conception, though not original at all, where I distinguishes :
1) what is usually called "mitigation", that I like to call "fixed mitigation" (and part of EH because you can rely on it)
2) what is usually called "avoidance", that I prefer include in a wider and IMO more relevant concept called "statistical mitigation" including as well block and other variables that tend to stastically provide a sort of mitigation (but not reliable, unless huge iterations).
3) the combination of the two types of mitigations, fixed and statistical, called "global mitigation"
I had that conception before knowing about Rawr, but I see that Rawr has a quite similar conception, and calls "total mitigation" what I just called "global mitigation", what is the same to me. As far as I remember, Whithetooth calls it "total damage reduction" or something like it in Tantpoints. So I think it's a relevant conception, maybe more relevant than the three classical concept alone : "EH", "mitigation", "avoidance".
Why ? Because IMO there is two major relevant concepts when thinking about survivability, being "EH" and "global mitigation" (or "total"), that deserve two different goals or logics : surviving some huge bursts for "EH" and being economic to heal for "global mitigation". And one step under, when thinking about "global mitigation", there is again two major logics : what is fixed, constant and you can rely on, and what is only statistical, variable, and you can expect but not rely on. Avoidance is just part of the second logic, but not all. Unless you're unhittable, and even if you're, because of critical blocks and block mastery, glyphs etc, block is variable and necesseraly a "statistical mitigation". If you go further, you can also put the effect of expertise against bosses that have still parry-haste in that category, along with a lot of proc "including Aegis of Black Heart, that is no real "fixed mitigation" and "EH" as it's not truely relyable). This division between what is relyable and what is not is usefull, as it open to a clear conception of EH : "HP" increased by "fixed mitigation".
Well, I hope you see what I meant, it's not just easy trolling. But I agree that my terms are or could be confusing, and it was the very reason why I tried to sum up the idea briefly in parenthesis hehe. Anyway, if you have suggestions about terms more relevant in good english, I would be elated.

Opening Statements
Here to stay
Unlocked devices definitely open up new options, especially for those with the propensity or skill level for flirting with danger. New ways to get in trouble, avoid unwanted committment, and be different will always hold an appeal -- whether for a reason, a season or a lifetime. There's nothing wrong with that.
However, for those of us who like the enhanced productivity that comes with making a decision to commit to a carefully researched, decent quality system that is appropriate for our needs, it's nice to not have to learn how to use a new phone every five minutes when our no-name carrier does something cheesey that makes us go off in a huff.
You're going to pay one way or the other. Whether you have to scrape by with an unlocked older phone, or you have to pay full freight for an un-subsidized snazzy new one, or you jailbreak it and compromise security, or you have to spend a lot of time constantly learning how to use new gear, or you have to finance getting out of a contract...the house always wins.
Let's not forget it's not all about phones. It's about devices like tablets with 4G in them. These have to connect to the corporate networks in the companies where most of us have to work in order to pay for all the electronic gadgets we love so much.
One way that companies may reap some of the advantages of BYOD but not succumb to total chaos is to give a list of acceptable devices and carriers. This list is likely to include major phone companies which usually imply contracts. If a company has chosen to provision phones and other mobile devices, they're going to contract with a major player in the mobile space to get a package deal. That way, they can wipe the devices remotely if they get lost or stolen, and set up various safeguards to save users from themselves (and save themselves from their own users).
So, the security of reliable carrier lock-in with reputable vendors is here to stay.
Not your father's Tracfone
Pre-paid phones aren't just for kids, grandparents, and drug dealers anymore. Increasingly, pre-paid phones are making their way into the hands of smart, savvy consumers looking to save money and upgrade phones on their own terms
The move to prepaid is being driven by four major factors:
- The Nexus 4
- The increasing availability of unlocked iPhones
- A shift among pre-paid providers to offer smartphones or SIM-only, bring your own phone plans instead of cut-rate feature phones
- Data usage caps by major carriers are too restrictive with tablets and smartphones
At the height of the PC era when it seemed like new, faster, more amazing computers were being released every week, would gamers, early adopters, and demanding users wait two or three years between upgrades? Of course not and in the post-PC era, contracted wireless and its lack of freedom and choice is quickly becoming an expensive anachronism.

Hill, Coples, Davis Tackle the Rookie WallPosted by on November 28, 2012 – 6:44 pm
In large part, how the Jets finish this season will depend on how their top first-year players finish this season.
Which brings us to our annual "rookie wall" story. The Jets' top three picks in the April draft all say the wall is a non-issue for them. The two guys on defense, top pick Quinton Coples and third-rounder Demario Davis, say they're not expecting to hit the wall.
And second-round WR Stephen Hill says he's already busted through it.
"I'm not going to be the rookie to say no, because I did hit it. And I learned a lot from that time," Hill said today after the Jets' first big practice of the week for Sunday's home game against the Cardinals. "I felt it a little bit during training camp and definitely earlier in the season. It didn't last as long as some of the guys I talked to said it would — they said it could go on for weeks. They also said it all depends on how you bounce back. It wasn't even physical as much as it was basically mental."
But now Hill feels he's starting to hit his stride again, the stride we saw flashes of in the opener against Buffalo and for most of the game at New England last month. It's time for his numbers — 38 targets, 16 receptions, 212 yards, 13.3 average, 2.2 YAC average, five drops, three touchdowns — to all take turns for the better.
And his timing is good, because as head coach Rex Ryan told reporters at today's news conference at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center: "This is a big week for Stephen to step up, and I expect him to. I like the way he played last week. He was confident in that game. I saw that just by the way he was running his routes and everything. He's to the point where he's wanting the football. He needs to step up big."
Nothing like a little pressure from the coach. But that's cool with Hill.
"It's definitely not pressure. It's an opportunity to go out there and get the job done. I'm looking forward to it," he said. "I feel comfortable, especially running routes, getting off certain jams, reading coverages. I'm definitely getting smarter with situations. I'm just making sure I come out there and do what I have to do."
Coples has also had his moments. His sack total is still stuck on the two he had against Colts rookie Andrew Luck, although he missed a third in that game when he pressured Luck into an intentional grounding. But he's still been contributing as he can, seeing almost 40 plays a game on defense and special teams, and he leads the Jets defenders with six tackles for loss and, if you throw in the zero-yard runs and receptions, 8.5 tackles for loss no gain.
"I'm good," Coples said of in regard to the rookie wall. "I enjoy the game of football, which is a reason why I guess I haven't hit it. I feel good, my body feels good. I think I'm doing well, getting better and learning what I need to know."
This, too, is good news for the Jets because Ryan, although not singling out Coples as he did Hill, mentioned the need for more of one of "Q's" specialties.
"We absolutely notice that we have to get to the quarterback better than we have," Ryan said. "Here's a team [in Arizona] with 30 sacks. What have we got, half of that? [Actually, 17] It's a point of emphasis. I know we have the ability to rush the passer with this group of players. We just have to get it done."
"That's an opportunity for me to show what I was brought in to do and get after the quarterback," Coples said. "I'm definitely excited about that and ready to get after it."
The other Jets rookie who's been logging lots of time is Davis. In fact, DD even added in a small way to the pass rush when he was chop-blocked by Stevan Ridley in the third quarter on his way to a potential third-quarter blitz-sack of Tom Brady in the Patriots end zone. Davis doesn't get credit for a sack (there was none on the play), nor even the safety (it's credited to the team due to the end zone penalty). But that's fine by him.
"I was just doing my job, blitzing and going through the gap," he said. "It was a good team play, but it was just one good play. You try to put a string of those plays together in a game."
Davis is working hard at that goal as well. He's been on the field quite a lot lately, in part due to Bart Scott's toe but also because he's the future of this D and there's no time like the present to get some experience. In the last five games, in fact, Davis has been in on 344 plays on defense and special teams, which is the 10th-most on the team in that span and the sixth-most on defense.
And Demario, too, hasn't felt the RW topple onto him yet.
"I haven't really felt the rookie wall," he said. "I've heard about it, but it's not a factor right now. I still feel we're in the season, five games to go, so I just focus on one game at a time. And I took precautions early on to make sure my body feels good and that mentally I can handle the load.
"You always want to be ready when your number gets called. I always try to go a little harder on scout team during the week against the ones, as much as I can, so that I can make practice harder than the games."
How well the Jets finish is not just on these three rookies' shoulder pads, but how they fare will have much to say about the final story of 2012 and for some seasons ahead. For that reason, as Hill said:
"I just want to finish this season hard, as hard as I can."
Injury Picture
Two of the Jets' 18 players listed with injuries sat out today's practice in the fieldhouse: WR Clyde Gates (concussion) and CB Aaron Berry (quad). Five others were limited: QB Tim Tebow (ribs), WRs Jeremy Kerley (heel/hamstring/illness) and Chaz Schilens (concussion/hip), DT Sione Po'uha (back) and LB Bart Scott (toe). View the Jets' full injury report here.
"I don't want to get into specific things," Ryan said of Tebow's status for the Cards. "Let's see how he progresses during the week. We'll probably have a better, clear-cut picture as the week goes on. Right now we're going to limit him in practice and we'll see how he goes during the week."
The Cardinals listed 10 players today. WR Andre Roberts (ankle) didn't participate in team drills. Seven were limited: S Justin Bethel (shoulder), WR Laron Byrd (head), DE Calais Campbell (calf), WR Early Doucet (ribs), QB Kevin Kolb ribs), RB William Powell (shoulder) and RB Chris "Beanie" Wells (knee). S Kerry Rhodes (back) was full-go, as was LS Mike Leach (back).

Jets need to start putting some of the rookies and younger players in there to see where they stand in the future. Demario Davis need more playing time let Scott sit for a few games.

These guys should all be starting and playing the whole game no matter how many mistakes they make. They're the future, not Holmes, Pouha, DeVito, Scott and our other slow, ancient LBs, all of whom should be traded or cut.

Injuries make a difference, I hate this excuse by Coaches and Sports Announcers about injuries. Why does NE, Houston, Ravens among other teams win with injuries? Simple they have depth, they can go to the bench and say "your turn" get out there and play football and manage to win. Be nice if the "JETS" could go to there bench, but they can not. OH WELL!!! Sunday we have St. Louis, "LETS GO JETS"…

Things the Jets need to do like the Giants, from Mike Freeman's NFL site piece: "Shut up. Does anyone ever see Coughlin bragging? Or strutting? Or insulting another team? Or pulling stupid stunts? The answer is no. The Jets need to hire someone less yappish who believes in football over trash talk. Hire a football-centric general manager. Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum is a good man, but he was mostly a numbers guy before assuming his general manager duties with the Jets. There is also the fact that he and Ryan pick players together. Coughlin definitely has say, but it's Reese who gets the definitive final word. There is a line of demarcation. Replace departed good players with, you know, other good players." And do all this in New York, not NJ!

Sad to say but its time to start to evaluate all players for the next 5 games and i want to see more playing time for all of the younger players and hope these next 5 games can help them with experience so they are ready for next year. Davis i think will be fine, Coples has all the talent in the world but his motor looks like he needs to be pushed, Hill thats a different story. Thats the mistake they made this year. They never should've started him this year [yes the opener he was great] they needed to have a true #2 veteran to start and work Hill in slowly. He was clearly not ready for the role. Hope he benefits over these next 5 weeks.

And just as crazy as this sounds [i need something to root for] Pitt and Cincy will lose this week and both be 6-6. IF the Jets beat the Cards well they are one game behind. I see Pitt finishing at 8-8 and Cincy at 9-7. Now IF only the Jets can win a few games you never know. Not likely but its something to hope for. Still changes need to be made after this season.
BTW Pace's comments in a story about Rhodes on ESPN.com is right on.

Based on the news conferences I have been reading the Jets could just mail them in. Same comments over and over. Yoiu never see the anger at making mistakes and losing like you see from Tomlin and other top coaches. I read where the Cards are similar to the Jets. OK, decent defence that doesn't step up enough when needed and a horrible QB situation.
Sometimes coaches and players miss the obvious. It seems we need more sacks and the lack of sacks is a concern. Well Maybin is gone after getting little playing time to prove his worth. The Jets ignored Babin. I guess if Babin played for the Cards the Jets would have grabbed him hoping for some insight. PLAY BETTER, thats your insight.

How can these rookies hit the wall,they don't play that many snaps,give me a break,Our linebacking corp hit the wall three years ago and they are still here.

IRA, excellent posts, I agree 100%. Some quick observations; Coples has clearly lived up to his pre-draft reputation as a underachiever. His 2 sacks are well below other rookie pass rushers like Chandler Jones,Whitney Mercilus(Houston) Nick Perry(G.B).and even Donta Hightower (N.E.) who were drafted after him. But its not the stats that jump out with him.There are just times when watching him you get the impression he would rather be someplace else? As for S.Hill he will not contribute much to the team until he learns how to catch a football. He continues to imatate someone playing dodgeball instead of football? His posisition coach Sanjay Lal has not been able to get him to catch with his hands rather than letting the ball hit his body.

It's way too early to call Hill a mistake, Ira. The mistake we've been making for the last 2 yrs is to blame everything wrong with the O on everybody but the guy leading it, our pathetic starting QB. And there's nothing sad about finally admitting that this edition of the team, from the GM on down, is a disgrace and needs to be dismantled. Fans who actually want to see this team compete at a high level should be glad to see that kind of rebuilding, even if it'll take a lot of new coaches and players. But people who are afraid of making big changes when needed are losers, so as long as they hold sway we'll keep losing…

By Chicago Bob on Nov 29, 2012 | Reply
Let's be realistic, this is not a playoff contender. We do not have the talent to compete with the better teams in the AFC. Agree wholeheartedly with those who say to get the kids in there (including McElroy)on a regular basis and see what they can do. This next draft may be the most important one in years and we need to know exactly what is needed and in what order. Fortunately there is so much we need that the front office should have options of several positions with players of equal talent so we don't have to reach for a position of need. Unfortunately Rex is just like the old man – Buddy couldn't shut up when he was DC in Chicago and then when he was a HC in Philly and AZ. Despite his failures, Buddy will always think he was a great HC

Tom, I agree with you on Coughlin not bragging and always giving credit to the team the Giants play. Even Belicheck gives credit where it is due, in fract most coaches do in the NFL… The Jet coaches (lol) constantly put the foot into the mouths and make themselves look like fools. MS is a perfect example of them making fools of themselves. MS will never be trade material, Tebow should go to the Jags (who want him) for a 1st or 2nd round draft pick. I do agree with most in here it is time to evaluate the young players. BUT, once again we have coaches that will not do that. "IRA" your out look is great but that word "IF" is a big word. Would be nice though. "LETS GO JETS ON SUNDAY"….

By Another Tom on Nov 29, 2012 | Reply
It would be great if just one of these three becomes an All-Pro, but all three need to become solid starters. I hope Hill develops into a great WR, however so far it looks like Randle or Sanu are better picks. I guess they fell in love with Him at the combine…sound familiar?

Jet fan: You ask how the other teams; NE, Hou, Pitt, Ravens, and Giants have better backups. First they select better players. This starts with scouts and works up to GM. Then they have coaches who can evaluate and motivate the players. The TEAM is first. Even in NE having an elite future HOF QB most of the news is about other players. Lastly they do not give bloated contracts to marginal players at best. Just because they are decent as a Jet it doesn't make them a great player. And when they pick up an older player, which is rare, it is because of a string of mishaps at that position. Not because they think putting on the Jet uniform will make them young again.

Tom Spicer,that is Geno Smith,Geno Atkins is the defensive tackle on the Bengals,on that note I have to give it to one of our posters who during the draft a couple of years ago kept bringing up Geno Atkins,when people were bringing up his teammate Justin Houston who went to the chiefs,Atkins has become one of the better tackles in the NFL.

Tom: I would not want any of the QBs you mentioned. I have said over and over to just stock up draft picks, let 2013 be a "planned" waste and start from scratch in 2014. W need so many players it's silly to think that 1 draft even if somehow we drafted 1rst we coul cure our woes. By cutting everyone and starting new in 2013 we will be bad but with a plan. There will be a good QB in the 2014 draft and with so many teams having SUCCESSFUL 1rst & 2nd year QBs we should be able to land one.
Tebow to Jax for a 1rst or 2nd round pick??? Jet Fan i like a lot of your posts but we would be lucky to get a 5th round pick. few teams need him, few teams want him, so Jax might get him when he is cut for nothing. To appease fans they MIGHT give a low pic

Hey Tom who are we drafting for the 2013 NFL drafts. Well for now I have these players till I get more information about the other players that are coming out. RD, 1 DE, Barkevious Mingo LSU or DE/OLB Corey Lemonier Auburn. RD 2 OT/G Dallas Thomas. RD 3 WR, Kenny Stills Oklahoma. You got to give Sanchez one more year But the Jets will needs to build around Mark Sanchez Starting off with the Offensive lines. I would like to see if the Jets can get a back up QB, from F/A and maybe a RB, as well.

As far as these players knowing the fundamentals. The will slip into bad habits without good coaching, the have to be constantly drilled. This is what coaching is all about you got to be all over them all the time " run it again " As far as the Sanchez play I am still confused, he should have been low,slow with legs ready to dig in for the push with both hands around the ball just like a goal line push. Instead he was straight up with the ball in one hand, dangaling at the side of his leg, moving way to fast like there was actually a hole there. Like he was OJ. Only thing… there was NO HOLE just Wilfolk. I have truly never seen anything like this kid, it's like he went from junior colleage to the NFL.Great move to draft him

Agree with you on all that, 64 Frank. Agree with you on the illusory rookie wall, GaryC. And while I'm not sure about those three QBs you list, Spicer, I agree that it's time to think seriously about drafting another QB to go up against McElroy next summer and get rid of Sanchez and Tebow by April for whatever picks we can get for them. This goes with Chicago Bob and SCfromNY's posts that speak to taking a more realistic, longer-term view of rebuilding this team. I agree with Ira that it might only take 2 or 3 yrs to get back into contention if Mr T, Rex, and the coaching staff are gone, but it won't get done by way of this playing around with the bottom of the roster, as someone else mentioned today (maybe on another story).

S.C.fromN.Y, Although I completely understand why you are not excited about L.Jones, Gino Smith or Matt Barkley. However, it is simply too soon in the evaluation process to make any definitive evaluations. We will revisit this topic on numerous occassions in the coming months as the stench from this season needs to be cleansed by the excitment of a new season.The draft will be a fun diversion from the reality of what we as jet fans have put up with lately. So dont get to concerned with draft picks until we all have had time to see whose out there and determine how they would fit in here in Rex's circus.

Jets OL coach Dave DeGuglielmo said the new platoon of Vlad Ducasse working in with LG Matt Slauson is "a directive from high above me."
Coach Rex Ryan insists the call was his, though speculation is mounting that GM Mike Tannenbaum ordered the coaches to play his 2010 second-round pick. It's clear that DeGuglielmo believes Ducasse belongs on the bench. "He's playing well enough to be an every-third-series guy — maybe," said DeGuglielmo. So bascially MR.T is telling the coaches who they have to play. So he doesnt look bad he is making the O line coach work in Ducasse the Super Bust.

Ira, sometimes it's better to lose in order to hasten the much-needed makeover that this team needs. Here's two options for you, you pick one: (1) Sanchez plays every snap for the rest of the yr, we win 3 out of 5 games, miss the playoffs anyway at 7-9, Rex and Mr T spend every day until next yr's iffy draft talking about how improved the team is. (2) Sanchez sits starting in a game or 2, Tebow stays on IR, and McElroy finishes the season. We win the same 3 out of 5 games, still miss the playoffs, but find out that Mc has potential and that there's no need to act like MS and TT are our only options, which in turn encourages us to dump both of them, draft or trade for another QB and let him fight it out with Mc. Your preference would be…?
By By Jet Fan Since 1964 Frank on Dec 1, 2012 | Reply
Mike you hit the nail right on the head. The players that were traded are on the Pro Team. We have a shot at a couple of good QB's coming out of college this year it's time Mr. Johnson looked to the future and get rid of the worse coaching staff in footbal (that includes the POP WARNER LEAGUE (lol)). IT is time to rebuild with a coach such as "GRUDEN or COWHER" if your going to pay money out pay it for coaches that know how to win and build a team. I feel we have some good first year talent, but they need good coaching to become excellent players along with new draft picks. BUT, unless Johnson opens his eyes we will remain the laughing stock of the NFL. Tomorrow we play SL. Lets go Jets….

Everyone's favourite kooky indie Queen Zooey Deschanel turned 33 yesterday, but how did she celebrate her birthday? We can confirm that the star of hit TV comedy New Girl spent the day filming the latest series of the show alongside actor Max Greenfield (AKA Schmidt) and a whole litter of kitties, natch!
The actress tweeted a picture of her furry co-stars along with the caption "Today I turned 33 and I worked with a bunch of cats. Dreams apparently DO come true."
Over on her website Hello Giggles, Zooey's team were full of praise in a birthday post which read: "We would like to wish our co-founder, style hero, and musical crackerjack and comedic inspiration, Miss Zooey Deschanel, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! The birthday girl has dazzled us in many ways, one of which being her candour. Zooey isn't afraid to share her thoughts and opinions, and we adore her for that."
Which got us a thinking, why does this lady inspire such love? Here are our top 5 Zooey D triumphs:
1. New Girl: If you weren't aware of Zooey's quirky comic timing before, then this show is the ultimate proof. When we're not crossing our fingers that Jess and Nick will put aside their differences and get it onnn, we're laughing out loud as the elementary school teacher naively navigates the world of living with boys.
2. Hello Giggles: What do you do when you're a smokin' hot Hollywood actress with things to say? Start a website with your bessies and ask the internet to get involved of course. Zooey's online outlet touches on everything from the issues facing modern women to her latest nail art experiments - and it's totally addictive.
3. She & Him: Ms Deschanel has a great voice and her band's album 'A Very She & Him Christmas' has become a regular fixture on our festive playlist.
4. JGL duet: We've never wanted two actors to get together in real life more than when we watched Zooey and her 500 Days of Summer co-star Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing a New Year ditty on YouTube.
5. Red carpet style: She may not be pushing fashion boundaries or setting new trends, but Zooey channels retro glamour like a pro. Take a look at her biggest sartorial hits below...

Yesterday, while reading the WSJ over my morning cuppa, I came across an item that stopped me mid-sip. The US government agency — USDA, FDA, NOWAY, whatever, I have so completely lost track in their hall of smoke and mirrors — that Americans, one of the fattest national groups in the known universe — would be healthier and lighter of foot if we would drink water instead of sugary sodas, consume smaller portions, eat more fish (which is now given its own nutritional category instead of being lumped with hamburger and pepperoni) and choose fresh fruit and veg instead of processed food-like substances covered in melted "cheese".
Really? How much midnite-oil-burning did it take for them to figure that one out? And haven't we heard that song before?
And if the answer is yes, and we KNOW what is good for us, why are we not paying attention? We hate paying health insurance premiums and copays because they get more expensive every year, but could that not be in part because we get unhealthier every year? Better we should get smarter every year.
My old Mum used to say, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." And, she might add, a pound of belly fat….
Isn't there a Rodale book about that?
Tags: FDA, fish, nutrition, obesity, prevention, processed food, Rodale books, USDA, vegetables
What I cannot understand is how people learn to like those sodas, with real or fake sugar. I do not like anything carbonated. Why drink something that makes me burp? Excuse the bluntness.
When I buy juice, now and then, it certainly is not those juice flavored drinks. I think that it is the sugar that is addictive, besides the caffeine.
And, don't forget the GMOs.
BTW: They do not want to figure it out – someone is in their back pocket.

When I first started playing MMO's, way back in the beginnings of Everquest, I was reading this "guide" of sorts that a fellow wrote about playing a Troll Shadowknight.
The game being what it was at the time, this guide was really more about fun RP elements, style of play, etc. One of the big suggestions was to name your character something really memorable and different so people would remember it. I saw a lot of people with the standard "Darkshadownightkiller" names and lots of "Quinthalasaslasa" elfy names and I figured I'd do something totally goofy and named mine after an ice cream flavor, Bovinity Divinity.
The name pretty much stuck and I've used it in pretty much everything I do on the internet now. Sadly WoW doesn't allow surnames so I can't be "Bovinity Divinity" anymore, but Bovinity works just fine.
Of course, it's not as unique as it once was - every damn server has 50 tauren named Bovinity or some variant it seems - and everyone thinks that it has something to do with Tauren in my case too, but oh well.

The renewed interest in coal as a fuel source for power generation will increase coal demand by up to 4 percent a year for the next 20 years. With so much coal produced domestically in this...
Biocoal Options
A new future for small coal-fired plants.
majority of crop wastes are concentrated in the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest region—the same region with a majority of small coal units, as shown in Figure 3. This suggests a natural and remarkable match between the crop-waste supply and the small coal unit demand. For example, Iowa has an estimated 1,200 MW of small coal units, and an estimated 24 million tons of annual crop waste, enough to supply perhaps 2,000 MW of baseload generation. Minnesota has an estimated 1,000 MW of small coal units and an estimated 14 million tons of annual crop waste, enough to supply that same 1,000 MW of baseload generation. Ohio has an estimated 1,100 MW of small coal units and an estimated 5 million tons of annual crop waste, enough to supply perhaps 400 MW in baseload generation. The list goes on. On a state-by-state basis, there appears to be a reasonable match between the amount of small coal-unit capacity and the amount of available crop waste.
Of course, while transportation costs are a major issue, there's little reason that all crop waste must be used within the state where it is generated. Taking a regional perspective, in the NERC ECAR, MAIN and MAPP regions, which overlap quite closely with this Upper Midwest and Great Lakes region, there's an estimated 130 million tons of available crop waste at $5/MMBtu. 5 This is enough to supply roughly 10,000 MW in baseload generation. The bottom line is that there appears to be sufficient crop waste biomass to fuel most if not all of the small coal units in this region.
However, while crop waste contains the necessary Btus of energy, the physical and chemical nature of raw biomass makes this apparent match far from perfect.
On the physical front, raw crop waste isn't dense, and is therefore difficult and expensive to collect, transport and store. Crop waste is typically one-quarter to one-fifth as dense as coal. Crop waste also has relatively low calorific value, perhaps one-half to one-third that of coal. All told, crop waste produces perhaps one-tenth the energy of coal on a volume basis, and this hinders the potential for using crop-waste fuel in power plants. In addition to the volume issue, crop waste is relatively difficult to use as a boiler fuel. It isn't uniform in size and doesn't crumble or pulverize easily, making it unfit for many existing boilers.
On the chemical front, crop waste is highly variable in composition. This is a difficulty in itself since many existing boilers are designed for a narrow range of fuel specifications. To make matters worse, crop waste often has high levels of impurities that create combustion problems. The biggest issue is typically the presence of alkali metals that cause boiler fouling.
There are also a variety of non-technical factors that impede the use of crop waste for power generation, such as the difficulty in aggregating supplies from multiple parties and the absence of large, established vendors.
