3.0 out of 5 stars Don't push things through it too fast *Updated*
This is my first juicer. The first glass of juice that I made was delicious, but I made a couple of rookie mistakes when I made it. I put the carrots through it first and it partially clogged the screen, and I was pushing the fruits and veggies through it really fast. I still got juice, but not as much as I should have.
After a few days of research on juicing...

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Value Juicer,
I read the reviews on this juicer and wondered why some gave rave reviews and others gave this juicer rotten reviews. Since most of the reviews were positive, I decided to take a chance and buy it. I'm glad I did.
The Decision - Out of all the top reviewed juicers on Amazon, Epinion, Best-Juicer-Reviews, and ConsumerSearch, this had the longest warranty (1 yr), highest horsepower motor (1.1 hp) and lowest price ($69). All of the top rated juicers have wide mouths (3+ in) and are dishwasher safe. This is why I bought it. The juicers I looked at were Breville BJE 200XL, 800 JEXL, BJE 510XL, Jack Lalanne power juicer and Hamilton Beach 67650.
The Good - It juices fast, it is easy to clean (5 min by hand, no dishwasher), and is inexpensive. Most of all, it saves me time. I could eat fast food (no more cooking and cleaning as this is dishwasher safe) without having to eat fattening drive-thru food. It is fast and nutritious.
The Bad - It is not cheap to operate because you waste a lot of food in the pulp, especially if you make juice from soft fruits and vegetables. If you are making juice from hard stuff, it will be very efficient. The pulp will be a fine, moist dust. There is very little waste. However, if you are making juice from soft fruit, it will make a lot of soft, mushy wasted pulp. This juicer is perfect for hard stuff like carrots and broccoli stems. For soft stuff like watermelon and spinach leaves, I'll use my blender instead. Or, you could try re-juicing the pulp to extract more juice out of it. Or you could do what I do to avoid wasting the juicy pulp: I feed my dog the pulp.
The Conclusion - The faults with this juicer are not faults with this particular model, but a fault with all centrifugal juicers (spinning knife blade used to juice). A masticulating juicer would produce less waste but would be much slower to operate. It takes a much longer time to make a cup of juice with a masticulating (grinding gears) juicer. A citrus juicer makes citrus juice only.
A perfectionist or very frugal person would probably opt for less wet pulp waste by buying a masticulating juicer such as an Omega 8005. A person with a busy lifestyle would probably prefer a fast juicer that is easy to clean like this one. A person who drinks citrus juice a lot would probably buy a citrus juicer. If you are making wheat grass juice, then buy a wheat grass juicer.
Depending on what you need, you may get a different juicer. However, for the price, it is impossible to get a better general purpose juicer. I will re-review this juicer in a year to give a report on it's durability.
6 months after the purchase, a friend of mine "borrowed" it and never returned it. I haven't visited this friend in a while so I don't know how it's holding up. For what it's worth, it can stand up to at least 6 months of daily use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Mouth Chrome vs. Breville Compact Juice Fountain,
TR (Right Here) - See all my reviews
I just recently purchased two juicers: the Bigmouth Chrome and the Breville Compact Juice Fountain. As they are both in the same price/performance category, I thought I'd briefly compare the two for those interested in the differences-as I see it. For the record, both of these juicers are my first go at juicing and was recommended to us by our Nutritionist.
First, both are winners and perform flawlessly the task of extracting juice from a wide variety of vegetables and fruits. Both have strong motors that easily do the job at hand. Both are easy to use and clean. Both are well designed and are easily taken apart and put back together.
In all honesty, the Breville Compact Juice Fountain which costs about 40 dollars more than this Bigmouth Chrome does have a few benefits which make it worth the extra cost if price is not an object. The Breville motor seems to be a touch more powerful and a touch quieter. The Breville's juice container comes with a froth reducer (I, personally, don't mind the froth). The Breville doesn't drip juice from the spout while emptying the juicing container (just a minor annoyance). The Breville can chew up whole carrots without causing the machine to slightly "jump." The Breville has a larger juice container and doesn't fill up nearly as fast. This is not really a big deal as the juice can be transferred to a different container. The Bigmouth does have a larger pulp container that seems like a bottemless pit while the Breville's fills up faster...so it's a draw really. The Breville is easier to clean due to its clean design and lack of grooves and indentations (except, oddly, the stainless steel screen which is finer in the Bigmouth and makes a slightly smoother drink).
All in all, both are amazing bargains for the price each cost. Owning both, I don't think that I would regret having only one or the other. I use the Bigmouth and my wife uses the Breville (it is just that much easier to ensemble for use). While, in my opinion, the Breville's slightly higher cost can be justified by the slight benefits it offers, the Bigmouth Chrome is an awesome machine that cranks out delicious juices no matter what I shove down its throat :-)
I love mine!
Hope that helps,

5.0 out of 5 stars Get this one, not the one with plastic latches.,
Kevin Flick (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews
It's great in every way. Get this one, not the one with plastic latches.
I have a video review here if you are interested:
Veggies that don't work for me in this juicer:
- too much bitter pulp included
- too much like a puree
Fruits that work really really well:
Mangoes, Kiwis, watermelon, pomegranates (seeds only), strawberries (extra yummy and no seeds!),
carrots (zapow!), celery and so on.
Get this one, not the one with plastic latches:
Hamilton Beach 67600 Big Mouth Juice Extractor, White
They break.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good juicer,
Prakash Arjunan (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
I did quite a bit of research before I bought this juicer. This is my first juicer & I must say I'm pretty happy with it. Here are my quick list of pros & cons -
1.) Very easy to assemble out of the box & even easier to operate
2.) Get very good quantities of juice
3.) Powerful motor & easy to handle, where I am able to shove in whole apples, carrots, oranges etc
4.) Not too much hassle to clean the juicer.
1.) Would have liked if the juice collector jar was bigger
2.) Taking out the blade from the juicer takes a li'l practice - not very easy.
All in all - i think i would have given this 5 stars if I didn't have the 2 minor cons as listed above. I love fresh juice & thats why I love this juicer. Does its job well !!

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't push things through it too fast *Updated*,
Amazon Customer (Northeast US) - See all my reviews
This is my first juicer. The first glass of juice that I made was delicious, but I made a couple of rookie mistakes when I made it. I put the carrots through it first and it partially clogged the screen, and I was pushing the fruits and veggies through it really fast. I still got juice, but not as much as I should have.
After a few days of research on juicing in general, I came here and read some more reviews and saw that alot of people were having issues with too much waste. I had it in my mind that this juicer just wastes juice...no way around it. I went cheap and what was that. Not true though. I now know, after some testing of my own, that this is not true and this juicer puts out alot of juice if you do it right.
On my second attempt at making a glass of juice, and the start of my first juice fast, I remembered reading on here that the slower you go the more juice and less waste you get. With that in mind I put each fruit and vegetable into the feed chute by itself and didn't push down on it at all. I just let the weight of the fruit or vegetable do the work. The rusult was that out of the same amount of fruit that I had used for the first glass of juice, I now had almost too much juice! I filled the cup that comes with the juicer and had to empty it into a big glass to finish off with the carrots that I wanted in my juice.
There were a couple of times when things got stuck and I had to coax them through with the pusher(not sure what to call it). Otherwise all I did was put the veggie or fruit into the chute and let it go and I covered the top of the feeder tube with my hand to keep things from coming out. That's it. If you do that you should get alot more juice out of this juicer.
*Update* 5/4/11
Well after using this juicer for almost two weeks I started getting plastic pieces in my juice. I don't know where they were coming from but they are the color of the inside plastic piece where the grinding mechanism is seated. I have contacted Amazon to return it and will not be getting another one of these. I may go with a more expensive one this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific for the money!,
As there are no other reviews and selecting juicers can be confusing, I thought I'd offer some feedback. My 1.1 HP Hamilton Beach 67650 just arrived and I'm thrilled. It even juices ginger, which isn't an easy job for any juicer. My budget was very limited for this purchase, but I didn't want to compromise on quality. With this machine, I feel I got the equivalent of a juicer priced several times the price. More power than the $200 and up machines I was considering.

5.0 out of 5 stars Juicer Joy,
Giancarlo Croce "Offer VOID where prohibited" (Bowlegs, OK) - See all my reviews
This is my first experience with a juicer, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It actually produces more juice than I expected. Just as the instructions suggest, it's easy to clean up, except for the strainer basket, which requires the use of a brush, which is thoughtfully included in the package. It fits nicely among the other appliances on my kitchen countertop, and so far seems to be standing up well to daily use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Juicer I've seen,
Timothy Dekofski (Orlando, FL USA) - See all my reviews
My mother had a juicer from 30 years ago but it was starting to wear down. I decided to look around on Amazon.com and found this little juicing honey. The strainer is extra fine so you never get any fruit or vegetable pieces. Not that bad to clean either. I stuck in 3 carrots at a time and 3 celerys and it made juice like nothing. The juice was surprisingly smooth. Then I tried the ultimate test. I stuck in a whole apple, a pear, and grapes all at once and it devored it like nothing. The juice was wonderful and smooth once again. If you're looking for a gift for yourself, replacing an old one, or a gift for someone else, this is the best juicer I've ever seen. The motor is super powerful. You can stuff it with several fruits and/or vegetables at a time. The juice is very smooth and frothy. It's easy to make smoothies with. I highly recommend this juicer! My mother loves it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good starter juicer.,
C. Rigby (USA) - See all my reviews
This was my first juicer and I felt it was a good buy.
I do not know if this model comes in appliance white yet, but the black is attractive and it can be left out on a counter if you have all black appliances without detracting from the look of your kitchen.
The juicer was easy to set up and use even without reading the manual. Very similar to food processor. It comes well packed.
When running the juicer, the noise level is quieter than a dishwasher or blender. Perhaps not as quiet as a Krups ice cream maker, but certainly acceptable middle ground.
It comes with a cleaning brush that works well to scrub the metal inner piece that strains the juice. I do wish it came with a smaller one to get in the spout of the juicer to clean that area. A baby bottle nipple brush will have to do. This is the only part I wash by hand. The rest can be rinsed and put through the dishwasher.
If you line the pulp container with a grocery bag, clean up is easy. Just take the bag out! The pulp it makes is relatively fine and moist. You can use this in baking or add it to your compost.
The juice container holds 2 cups, but it could be improved by adding measure lines to it.
I bought this primarily to juice for my 3 year old daughter to help keep her palate open to produce tastes. She enjoys putting things in the chute and turning it on. Our first combo was equal parts carrot and apple.
Citrus seems to get a little messier than other items, but it is still easy to clean up.
I would reccommend this to a friend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works as Advertised!,
Amazon Customer (Greensboro, NC, US) - See all my reviews
Decided to try juicing due to recent dietary restrictions. Researched consumer and nutrition guru reviews on different types of juicers as well as different brands. Deciding that a centrifugal juicer was good enough for a novice, I went with the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro due to the good reviews this product line gets.
It's amazing: easy to use/clean, no problems handling any of the veggies. Of course, since my energy level improved immediately after the first glass of juice, there was no way this product was going to earn a bad review. The pulp is nearly sawdust-dry, something I did not expect with a product this inexpensive. It really does a great job extracting juice.
It really disturbed me to face giving up my favorite foods (salads, whole fresh fruit, fried foods), but now that I'm working with this product, I look forward to meals!

I feel highly visible in these pants, and the reflective piping is generous down the half of the pant. Generous sizing in a 2xl for me, so they fit perfectly over my work pants. Got them the day before our first big downpour, and I was completely dry after riding about 10 minutes in constant rain. Would buy again in a second!

President-apparent Sen. Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III of the Liberal Party said he would no longer debate about his smoking habit with groups seeking to make him an anti-smoking poster boy.
And he isn't quitting either – at least not at this time.
Aquino bared that he could finish a pack a day, and the most that he did was three packs due to tension during the snap elections in 1985. Aquino pointed out that he ran and won with the people knowing that he was a smoker. His brand is Marlboro Lights menthol.
"At the appropriate time, I will stop. So long as I am within the law and I don't inconvenience other people, I think this is part of the little freedom left for me," Aquino said.
His habit might also cause security problems once he becomes Malacañang's main tenant.
Quoting an anti-smoking advocate, Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral on Tuesday said it may be difficult to secure the incoming president if he is outdoors, puffing cigarettes away. It will be hard to secure him if he decides to smoke 10 meters away from a government building such as Malacañang.
Under Republic Act 9211 and the Civil Service Commission, smoking may constitute a violation of office rules and procedures. Aquino, a known smoker, had said he is not keen on being a poster boy for anti-smoking advocates, at least at this time. Last weekend, anti-tobacco groups urged Aquino, a smoker, to be a poster boy of sorts for their anti-smoking crusade.
In a related development, the Department of Health (DOH) issued yesterday an administrative order giving tobacco companies until mid-July to put graphic health warnings on tobacco product packages.
In a launching ceremony, Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral said the agency deemed it necessary to come up with the administrative order to curb cigarette-smoking which kills some 240 Filipinos a day.
But I wonder why the Philippine Government (DOH) isn't doing something at the excessive drinking of Filippinos. I am not sure of the figures but I know that NOT all men are smoking. Many don't. But when it is drinking time (which is often; and already in the morning hours) practically all men are joining until they are drunk and do not know anymore what they are doing. There are probably no numbers on how many people die every day of drinking habbits / problems. People get violent and sometimes murder eachother or their family members when they come home drunk. And how many people have liver problems because of heavy drinking?
This might be something for the government to think about!

Why do I find all the weird ones
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 12-02-2010 - 5:37pm
I have been on Match for a couple of months now.
|Fri, 12-03-2010 - 2:35am
I assume that those people I find online will be dating more than just me unless we've been explicit about that with each other.
|Fri, 12-03-2010 - 9:23am
I can see both sides of this issue and I do not think there is a right and a wrong way to it. Some people are all about putting it all upfront and simply telling the other person if they have another date. Others will not tell the other person when they have a date.
Its not like the people that will tell, go out of their way to make sure that you know they have another date, but it comes up like "what are you doing tonight"?, then they are honest and say I have a date. I do not think they are trying to rub your nose in it or trying to get you to redouble your efforts at wooing them, they are just pointing out the white elephant in the dating room, that you two are not exclusive and are dating others.
In your particular situation, you had not even met yet and you carried on quite a bit of conversation. I say why mess around with so much texting and emailing before you meet. Just a few emails back and forth to figure out if it is worth meeting and if you both determine it is, then meet ASAP.
|Fri, 12-03-2010 - 12:33pm
I actually completely agree with you with meeting up as quick as possible.
|Sat, 12-04-2010 - 2:00pm
I find his honesty refreshing....we all know when we meet people online that they are searching for a partner just as we all are so dating other people should never be a surprise.
|Sat, 12-04-2010 - 4:44pm
I think that he was just very honest and upfront with you. Dating can be crazy. Whatever you do DO NOT GIVE UP! I found someone and she is the love of my life. I did not meet her until I was at wits end with dating. I met her by changing my whole outlook on dating.
I found this great information and it helped me out a lot. Maybe it will help you find that special someone as well. Let me know if it does :)
Remember to always be yourself and that the right person is out there!
Hope this helps! :)
|Sun, 12-05-2010 - 1:34pm
I agree with you. I was turned off by a guy who e-mailed me and spoke to me on the phone because he was supposed to call me at a specific time one night. He didn't. The next day he said he had to help his grown daughter with her college homework. Somehow he came out with the truth that he had been on a date with someone, but she wasn't his type, as she had a lot of tatoos.I, too, know that people are communicating or dating with others, but it should be a don't ask don't tell policy. It's unpleasant hearing about it. I did not go on a date with this man. I had lost interest after his confession.
Maybe some people don't mind about a person telling them about their dates, but I think the safest policy is to just say you have plans if asked. It's nobody's business about where you are going or with whom until you are accountable to another person and are already in a relationship with them. Good luck in finding a good one. I finally did after 2 and a half years of frustrating and ridiculous experiences. In the end, I can laugh about it now.
|Sat, 12-18-2010 - 9:37pm
So often I find myself stuck in conversations with men that seem to be pre-scripted from previous relationships. All I have to do is give him the answer he wanted to hear from his ex and I win the prize!
You were true to yourself. what else where you supposed to do? I don't think his behavior was weird, either, he was being true to himself also. Good thing you found out before you wasted your time!

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[OS] US/ROK/PANAMA/COLOMBIA/ECON/GV - US senators hopeful on S. Korea trade deal vote
Released on 2012-10-17 17:00 GMT
|2011-08-05 04:44:10
05 August 2011 - 04H06
AFP - US Senate leaders have voiced hope at ratifying long-stalled free
trade deals with South Korea, Colombia and Panama after agreeing to
separate the votes from an unrelated point of contention.
President Barack Obama and the rival Republican Party both support the
free trade agreement with South Korea, which would end 95 percent of
tariffs in the largest such pact for the United States in nearly two
But with some labor supporters upset over the deal, Obama's Democratic
Party linked ratification to the renewal of assistance to workers --
angering Republicans who control the House of Representatives.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said that after weeks of
talks the two parties had agreed to a vote on the workers' aid followed by
separate votes on the three free trade agreements.
Reid and top Republican Senator Mitch McConnell both said in statements
that they had found a "path forward."
"I have long supported passage of the long-delayed FTAs, and I know that I
speak for many on my side of the aisle that we are eager to get moving and
finally pass them," McConnell said.
House Speaker John Boehner said he hoped his chamber would approve the
trade deals "as soon as possible" and also promised "separate
consideration" of the workers' aid, known as Trade Adjustment Assistance,
or TAA.
A Democratic-led Congress ramped up the assistance program in 2009 by
making hundreds of thousands of workers in the service industry eligible
for benefits and retraining if their jobs were threatened by foreign
The program cost $1.1 billion in the last fiscal year but its expansion
expired after Republicans won 2010 congressional elections. The Obama
administration earlier said it had reached a compromise with a senior
Republican to restore the aid, albeit with cuts, through 2013.
Reid voiced confidence at the "passage of the bipartisan compromise" on
the aid. But with separate votes now planned, it remains to be seen
whether Republicans will allow the program's renewal.
Representative Sandy Levin, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means
Committee and a key player on trade policy, was cautious about the
agreement between the Senate leaders.
"The path forward in the House as well as the Senate must be ironclad in
its assurance that TAA will be renewed, otherwise TAA should be attached
to the Korea FTA," Levin said.
Conservative Republicans flexed their muscle in recent talks on avoiding a
debt default, with Obama on Tuesday signing a last-minute deal that will
cut at least $2.1 trillion in government spending.
The Obama team renegotiated the Korea free trade agreement, originally
sealed in 2007 under president George W. Bush, and won over the support of
key opponents, including automakers and the United Auto Workers trade
But the AFL-CIO, the main US labor confederation and key Democratic base,
remains opposed. It rejects Obama's projection that the Korea deal would
support 70,000 US jobs and says that corporations would be the main
While key lawmakers have voiced support for the South Korea free trade
deal, the agreements with Colombia and Panama remain more controversial
with Democrats concerned about the rights of labor unions.
"Colombia is still the most dangerous place in the world to be a trade
unionist," said Richard Trumka, head of the AFL-CIO.

|Does anyone here have patellofemoral syndrome, which is knee pain, especially with stairs? My pain always occurs about 24 hours after doing anything, such as too many staries or walking up and down hill. Running and jogging has been out of the question for years. In the past, however, I did get relief from backing off exercise, but now I have become worse. I can not exercise at all for the past three months.
Is it helpful to keep the knee straight when sitting down? Because I only feel the pain later, it is easy for me to over do gardening and not realize until the next day, that my knee hurts. If my knee hurt at the time of the activity, I would know that what I was doing was bad for my knee.
Can anyone else share information with me? What things did you find were helpful to your condition?
Dr. Dean Edell says surgery is not helpful, and therefore my HMO will not pay for surgery. A double blind study proved the surgery was not helpful.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Hi BugGirl.....I don't know if I have PS but I do get knee pain when I go overboard with my exercise routine. I used to be a runner and then when I tried to start up again last year I realized that wasn't going to happen due to my knees acting up. I am 50 and feeling like I'm just falling apart. I have been able to do a walk/jog combination on a regular basis which so far hasn't been a problem. After doing this for 4 consecutive days my left knee was starting to let me know to give it a rest so I did take the weekend off which did the trick. When I laid in bed and bent my knee I could feel a lump which must have been some swelling on the inside of the knee. I know that as we age our joints don't lubricate like they used to so that's what causes pain. Have you tried some MSM with glucosamine? I did this for a while and it seemed to help. I just stopped as I take so many vitamins and other things at this stage that I just never bothered to buy it again. This may help you. Also during your time of discomfort try putting some ice or a heating pad depending on it your preference. This works for all my other aching joints/muscles also. What about some Ben Gay or other type of joint rub. I use a product called BioFreeze which I got from my chiropractor. It's very cooling and really helps relieve my discomforts. Hope this helps a bit. I know it's not fun dealing with these problems. Another idea which I've used is a knee support wrap. Maybe if you wear this during the day for a while it will support your knee so it won't cause you the pain later on. These have all worked for me so hope something here will help you....Good luck......Linda/NJ
|Dear Linda,
I have had this problem since I hurt my knee in college, thank God it is only the one knee, the other one is ok. I have tried braces which did not work, as it was not a question of the knee moving from side to side, but each time I bend my knee, in a normal fashion, such as getting up and sitting down, or each step of a stair, is what caues the pain. I do sometimes use those pain patches, and Advil and so on, but I wish I could dance again. So, I wish for an improvement, not just management of pain. I guess, I am being unrealistic. I am happy you can keep working out, but if find a lump, a doctor should check that. I never have any physical manifestation of my pain.
|I got a shot of cortisome in my knee and I am hoping for some improvement, in the short term at least. Has anyone else had this done?
|Bug_Girl - How'd the cortisone shot in your knee work out?
This is 12 years later so I REALLY hope you've fixed your patellofemoral pain by now. I'd love to know what helped you- from your posts I think I have the same problem. Been suffering for 6 years now and am so sick of holding the railings going down stairs and not being able to work out

Business appliance maker Hewlett Packard (HP) reported preliminary financial results for its third quarter ended July 31, 2004, including third quarter revenue of U.S. $18.9 billion, an increase of 9 percent from $17.3 billion in 2003.
Non-GAAP operating profit was $846 million for the quarter. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.24 for the quarter, as compared to $0.23 in the prior year period. Non-GAAP diluted EPS and non-GAAP net earnings include a $142 million adjustment on an after-tax basis, or $0.05 per diluted share.
GAAP operating profit for the quarter was $657 million. GAAP diluted EPS was $0.19 per share, up 90 percent from $0.10 in the prior year period.
During the quarter, and on a year-over-year basis, revenue in the Americas grew 4 percent to $8.4 billion, Europe grew 14 percent to $7.5 billion, and Asia Pacific grew 11 percent to $3.0 billion. On a total company basis, and when adjusted for the effects of currency, third quarter revenue grew 5 percent year-over-year.
Personal systems revenue totaled $5.9 billion, an increase of 19 percent year-over-year. Desktop revenue increased 26 percent year-over-year, while notebook revenue grew 12 percent.
The company's imaging and printing segment posted record third quarter revenue of $5.6 billion, up 8 percent year-over-year. During the quarter HP shipped almost 10 million printers, bringing total shipments to approximately 320 million units worldwide. Business hardware grew 8 percent year-over-year. Digital imaging increased 11 percent as strong digital camera unit shipments helped offset an expected decline in scanner market.
HP estimates fourth quarter revenue will be in the range of $21.0 billion to $21.5 billion, and fourth quarter non-GAAP earnings per share will be in the range of $0.35 to $0.39.

Ms. Sunflower of the FLIRTY PlainsCongratulations, Daniel
on your impending nuptials. And best wishes to your lucky bride. 5 years ago
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

Of all the Robots, I've grown the closest/fondest of Daniel over the years. He's been my go-to guy when there have been issues, and he's always responded professionally and for the most part promptly. I was looking forward to meeting him this month before my travel plans changed, and hoped I would meet him along with the other robots in August. I still hope to meet him and Brangien then, even if it isn't at the Co-Op.
Of all the Robots Daniel, I'll miss you the most, but at the same time I'm so excited about your new challenges and adventures that await you outside the confines and restrictions of the Co-Op. I know that no matter what you attempt, you will give it your all and perform in a stellar manner. Brangien is a lucky woman, and I wish you both all the best. 5 years ago

From the PublisherA New York Times Notable Book of 2012
"Funny...odd, original, and nearly unclassifiable...unlike any novel I can think of."—David Haglund, The New York Times Book Review
"Brutally honest and stylistically inventive, cerebral, and sexy."—San Francisco Chronicle
"One of the bravest, strangest, most original novels I've read this year."—Christopher Boucher, The Boston Globe
"A vital and funny picture of the excitements and longueurs of trying to be a young creator in a free, late-capitalist Western city."—James Wood, The New Yorker
"A book that risks everything...Complex, artfully messy, and hilarious."—Miranda July
"A really amazing metafiction-meets-nonfiction novel."—Lena Dunham
"It is easy to see why a book on the anxiety of celebrity has turned the author into one herself."—The Economist
"A seriously strange but funny plunge into the quest for authenticity."—Margaret Atwood
"Boldly original...Gorgeously rendered."—NPR
"Bawdy, idiosyncratic...The title makes me quake with envy. All good books should be called just that."—Chad Harbach
"A significant cultural artifact."—LA Review of Books
"Original...hilarious...Part confessional, part play, part novel, and more—it's one wild ride...Think HBO'S Girls in book form." —Marie Claire
"How Should a Person Be? teeters between youthful pretension and irony in ways that are as old as Flaubert's Sentimental Education...but Ms. Heti manages to give Sheila's struggle a contemporary and particular feel...How Should a Person Be? reveals a talented young voice of a still inchoate generation."—Kay Hymowitz, The Wall Street Journal
"I read this eccentric book in one sitting, amazed, disgusted, intrigued, sometimes titillated I'll admit to that, but always in awe of this new Toronto writer who seems to be channeling Henry Miller one minute and Joan Didion the next. Heti's book is pretty ugly fiction, accent on the pretty."—Alan Cheuse, NPR's All Things Considered
"Heti's craft never fails…Novels are supposed to grab one's attention, and Heti's wonderfully baggy, honest and affecting book does exactly that."—New Orleans Times-Picayune
"Not the kind of book that comes along often. It's highly quotable, funny, shocking, anxiety-inducing and, finally, inspiring… It is undeniably of the moment, a blueprint of how to be lost in the Internet Age."—Thought Catalog
"Heti knows what she's doing—much of the pleasure of How Should a Person Be? comes from watching her control the norms she's subverting."—Michelle Dean, Slate
"[A] breakthrough novel...Just as Mary McCarthy's The Company She Keeps (written at the same age) was an explosive and thrilling rejoinder to the serious, male coming-of-age saga exemplified during her era by Sartre's The Age of Reason, Heti's book exuberantly appropriates the same, otherwise tired genre to encompass female experience. How Should a Person Be?'s deft, picaresque construction, which lightly-but-devastatingly parodies the mores of Toronto's art scene, has more in common with Don Quixote than with Lena Dunham's HBO series "Girls" or the fatuous blogs and social media it will, due to its use of constructed reality, inevitably be compared with…Like [Kathy] Acker, [Heti] is a brilliant, original thinker and an engaging writer. "—Chris Kraus, LA Review of Books
"If you're not already reading Sheila Heti's second novel How Should A Person Be?, you should be. Heti's rousing, unapologetically messy, beautifully written, insightful and provocative book explores the frustrations and rewards of female friendship, and of trying to make art as a young woman in the 21st century...Heti is doing something very exciting within the form of the novel." —Jezebel
"Heti excels at developing a cast of engaging, colorful and flawed characters."—Willamette Week
"Enlightening, profoundly intelligent, and charming to read....It reflects life in its incredible humor—and in some of its weird bits that might be muddled or unclear...with anxiety, hilarity and lots of great conversation."—Interview Magazine
"There are no convenient epiphanies in Sheila Heti's newest book How Should a Person Be? Instead there are several intertwined, grinding and brilliantly uncomfortable ones that require the reader to shed a few dozen layers in the service of self-discovery...She may depart from broad harbors, but she is an analytic zealot, never imparting trite one-liners or excusing herself. Reading her is an act of participation, discomfort and joy."—SF Weekly
"Lena Dunham loves this novel…A fresh spin on friendship, art, sex, and philosophy in five acts. And the prose, often taking the form of a numbered list, is always engaging."—Daily Candy
"[Heti creates] one of the most personable antiheroes ever...Her tone can be earnest and eager to please, flippant and crass, terribly lucid and darkly funny...Her tortured self-deprecation can read a little like Violette Leduc's, and her poetic bluntness sometimes reminds me of Eileen Myles, but these authors come to mind mostly because, like Heti, they have written about women with unusual detail and feeling. Heti truly has a startling voice all her own, and a fresh take on fiction and autobiography's overlap."—Bookforum
"Oh crap. I don't know how to begin talking about Sheila Heti or how good she is. People will say How Should A Person Be? is reminiscent of Patti Smith's Just Kids or Ann Patchett's Truth & Beauty and both of these things will be true. But I am still reeling from the originality of this novel. There are passages here so striking, to read them is to be punched in the heart."—Sloane Crosley, author of How Did You Get This Number
"The book's form is fluid and unpredictable… [and] the architecture gives the prose a circular, easy feeling, even though Heti is taking a hard look at what makes life meaningful and how one doesn't end up loveless and lost. It is book peopled by twentysomethings but works easily as a manual for anyone who happens to have run into a spiritual wall."—Sasha Frere-Jones, The Paris Review
"Utterly beguiling: blunt, charming, funny, and smart. Heti subtly weaves together ideas about sex, femininity and artistic ambition. Reading this genre-defying book was pure pleasure."—David Shields, author of Reality Hunger
"[A]n unforgettable book: intellectually exacting, unsettling in its fragility, bodily as anything painted by Freud, experimental yet crafted as hell, and yes, very funny."—The National Post
"Sheila Heti's novel-from-life, How Should a Person Be?, was published in Canada in 2010, but won't be out in the US until next June. Watch for it – it's great." —Chad Harbach, author of The Art of Fielding

I just got a coppertone spray on kind for babies and then a nutragena (sp?) stick to apply to the face.
At 6 I might just spray them a little to be okay and then wear a hat.
I use the BabyGanics stuff too. What I've found is to shake and knead the bottle before I squeeze it out, and then rub it in my hands before I apply it to LO. It's less goopy and cakey.
And I'd apply just to be safe.
H bought the coppertone kids (not babies). I will say that I DON'T recommend that! It is SO sticky.
I'm a bit anal about the sun so I'd probably do a light coat of sunscreen with a hat.
I use Aveeno Baby Sunscreen. It goes on pretty smooth and it's not too thick.
Yes, I'd apply sunscreen before the outing. I think it's best to keep those kiddos lubed up whenever they're out in the sun!
I've only tried the baby Coppertone spray and it works good. Its sticky like PP have said though. I'd put sunscreen on them for your outing even if its cloudy. Better to be safe.

Fall is upon us and that means it's time for all things pumpkin. This weekend as I strolled through the grocery store pumpkin flavored goodies filled the aisles. Pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin cereal, pumpkin scones, pumpkin butter, pumpkin ravioli – you name it!
So I thought I would repost one of my favorite Autumn-inspired baked goodies from the Portola Hotel & Spa's Executive Chef, Jason Giles – a Pumpkin Roll. Have fun and let's celebrate the flavors of Fall!
Originally posted, November 14. 2012
When it comes to holiday baking I'm always on the search for something new and different that will "wow" family and friends. I decided to go straight to the top and asked Executive Chef Jason Giles at the Portola Hotel & Spa to share one of his favorites (that was also easy enough for a rookie baker like me) and VOILA, he had the answer! So here it is, Chef Jason's Pumpkin roll, delicious and completely doable! Enjoy and happy baking!
Chef Jason's Pumpkin Roll
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (after reducing on stove see below)
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch jelly roll pan or cookie sheet.
2. Pumpkin filling tends to have high moisture content, so I like to gently cook the pumpkin puree in a skillet over low heat for about 10-15 minutes to remove excess water and intensify the pumpkin flavor. Cool completely before adding to recipe.
3. In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir in pumpkin puree, eggs, and lemon juice. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Spread the mixture evenly.
4. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 15 minutes.
5. Lay a damp linen towel on the counter, sprinkle it with confectioner's sugar, and turn the cake onto the towel. Carefully roll the towel up (lengthwise) with the cake in it. Place the cake-in-towel on a cooling rack and let it cool for 20 minutes.
6. Make the icing: In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and sugar with a wooden spoon or electric mixer.
7. When the cake has cooled 20 minutes, unroll it and spread icing onto it. Immediately re-roll (not in the towel this time), and wrap it with plastic wrap. Keep the cake refrigerated or freeze it for up to 2 weeks in aluminum foil. Cut the cake in slices just before serving.

NiFe2O4 prepared via the sol–gel technique were pre-sintered at 900 °C and synthesized at different sintering temperatures from 1,000 °C to 1,200 °C at 100 °C intervals. The samples were characterized for microwave dielectric properties. These samples were measured using Agilent Impedance/Material Analyzer at frequencies 1 MHz to 1.8 GHz. Results showed a decrease in the dielectric constant and loss factor with frequency except at the turning point, around 150 MHz, where the loss factor showed a gradual increase. However, both the dielectric constant and loss factor increase with increasing sintering temperature. The grain size and density also increased with increasing sintering temperature, but the porosity and grain boundary density showed a decrease.

A CarParts.com Road Test Brief Click here for more information about our roadtests
Click here for more pictures of the G500
2002 Mercedes Benz G500 Road Test By John Heilig Photos by Charles Ofria
But this year, Mercedes-Benz has a new vehicle, the G500. Called theGelaendwagen in Europe, the G500 is a sport utility with an off-road heritagethat exceeds that of most SUVs on the road (or off the road) today.
Andit most definitely isn't aerodynamic. We drove with the G-Wagon's project leaderat the introduction, who bragged about the fact that all the windows are flatglass. The front windshield appears to be completely vertical. Yet, there'sminimal wind noise, showing that Mercedes has put some thought into the design.
The flat glass produced lots of reflections that I found to be distracting at night. At one point, I realized that what I thought was a car on my right was really a reflection of a car that was on my left side. I haven't experienced that sensation since the early '60s when most cars had flat side glass.
The G500 has a great military heritage. It is the German Hum-V, with a bitmore class. It has super-strong rigid axles at the front and rear as well aslongitudinal and transverse links ands gas shocks at all four corners. It alsohad four-wheel disc brakes and 18-inch wheels.
The G500 is the only vehicle in the U.S. with three differential locks formaximum tractability in low-traction situations. To reduce wheelspin inextremely low-traction situations, the center and rear differential locks can beengaged anytime that the G-Class is off-pavement. In the unlikely event thevehicle gets stuck (we got it stuck at the press intro), the front differentialcan also be engaged for maximum traction. Mercedes advises, though, that thedifferentials should not be locked when you're on pavement because handling isaffected.
TheG500 also has four-wheel traction control that helps drivers of all skill levelsthrough most conditions. The differential locks are for serious off-roaders whomight choose to go running through dry river beds or over mountains, treadinglightly all the time, of course.
And of course, it has standard ABS anti-lock disc brakes brakes withMercedes-Benz' Brake Assist to ensure full-power braking in panic stops. We madea few of those, too.
The G500 is about four inches longer than the Mercedes-Benz' M-Class sportutility. It is priced at $73,165, which puts it in the same class as the RangeRover 4.6 HSE and Lexus LS470, as well as the BMW X5, and AM Hummer H1 and H2.
Powered by a 292 horsepower 5.0-liter V8, the G500 can climb grades up to 36degrees and is stable on lateral slopes up to 24 degrees. This is one of the fewvehicle tests where I was in a nervous-to-scared mental condition with some ofthe paths they took us on. One mistake and we could have been sliding down aslope and into a river. The engine is hooked to a five-speed automatictransmission
Theweek we drove the G500 at home was a snow week. "I ain't afraid of nostinking snow," was my comment as I actually hoped for more snowfall thanfell. Of course, it would have been best if the G500 could automatically shovelmy driveway, too, but that didn't work. On the road, I was constantly lookingfor the deepest snow to drive through and had a ball bashing around. Ourrear-seat passenger didn't appreciate my driving style but did like the legroomback there.
Additionally, it is equipped with an excellent standard GPS navigation systemthat has a large, integrated display on the center console. The display alsocontrols the nine-speaker audio system that includes a six-disc CD changer, aswell as the phone that also has a voice recognition feature for hands-off use.
Despite its lack of aerodynamics, the G500 is all Mercedes-Benz. It has afull leather interior with tasteful wood trim. The sound system is excellent,it's warm in freezing weather, and it has a road presence unlike most any othercar. Mercedes-Benz claims a top speed of 115 mph and a 0-60 mph time of 10.2seconds. Isn't your standard performance car, unless your idea of performance ishaving a vehicle that will never leave you stranded.

CHICAGO, August 1, 2012 — What does a "hate-free" chicken sandwich actually taste like? Inquiring taste buds may want to know.
With supporters across the country planning to turn out for the controversial Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day Wednesday, some
Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day was initially proposed by former Republican presidential candidate-turned Fox News host Mike Huckabee.
"Too often, those on the left make corporate statements to show support for same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians affirm traditional values, we're considered homophobic, fundamentalists, hate-mongers, and intolerant," said Huckabee.
As of Wednesday morning, more than 600,000 people across the country had pledged to visit a Chick-fil-A location to protest discriminatory moves by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to attempt to block the food chain's expansion after president Dan Cathy made public statements in support of traditional marriage in an interview.
But can a chicken sandwich really be "hate-free" if it does not respect free speech? Can a good batter mask the bitter taste of religious discrimination?
Can you deep-fry the First Amendment and maintain your claim to integrity?
The founders of the chain, Ashley and Brandon Wright say that they want "to create a chicken sandwich made from free-range and 'hate-free' chickens." Both brothers are gay.
"We've developed a recipe that is pretty darn good, and this is the perfect opportunity to launch it," said Ashley Wright, co-founder of the San Francisco-based chain.
The sandwich is described as a "juicy chicken breast with Mary's secret recipe batter – Southern Fried and served with herb mayo & pickles on a bakery fresh bun."
Hearty, a restaurant in
The chicken sandwich is served on a buttery bun with pickles and a side of fries. Owners, Dan Smith and Steve McDonagh, will be donating all proceeds to Equality Illinois, a non-profit organization that promotes gay marriage.
"As we question the company's anti-LGBT policies, we must ask the universities and mall owners why they want to do business with a company that holds up hate as a family value," said Bernard Cherkasov, CEO of Equality Illinois, in a statement.
For many across the country, the new government attacks on free speech and religious liberty have left a bad totalitarian taste.
And not even Mary's Secret Sauce can cover that up.

(CNN) — After a lifelong battle with mental illness, the youngest son of Pastor Rick Warren has committed suicide, his family said.
Matthew Warren, 27, died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Friday, said Deputy Daniel Aikin, with the Orange County Coroner's Office.
The family shared news of his death in an e-mail to church staff.
Rick Warren and his wife founded Saddleback Valley Community Church, a megachurch in Southern California.
"No words can express the anguished grief we feel right now," the pastor wrote in the note, which was sent to CNN.
"You who watched Matthew grow up knew he was an incredibly kind, gentle, and compassionate man. He had a brilliant intellect and a gift for sensing who was most in pain or most uncomfortable in a room. He'd then make a bee-line to that person to engage and encourage them.
"But only those closest knew that he struggled from birth with mental illness, dark holes of depression, and even suicidal thoughts. In spite of America's best doctors, meds, counselors, and prayers for healing, the torture of mental illness never subsided."
According to Aikin, Matthew Warren's body was found at his home in Mission Viejo, California, late Friday afternoon. He put the estimated time of death at around 10 a.m. that day.
The coroner's office is investigating the death. An autopsy will be conducted early next week, Aikin told CNN on Saturday.
As a pioneer of the megachurch movement, Rick Warren looked to translate traditional evangelical messages to a wider audience.
The pastor gave the invocation at President Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration and penned "The Purpose-Driven Life," a Christian self-help guide that became a mainstream best-seller.
"I'll never forget how, many years ago, after another approach had failed to give relief, Matthew said 'Dad, I know I'm going to heaven. Why can't I just die and end this pain?' but he kept going for another decade," Rick Warren wrote in the e-mail.
CNN's Janet DiGiacomo contributed to this report.

Today, the US House of Representatives defeated a misguided Republican sponsored bill intended to roll back light bulb efficiency standards passed during the Bush administration.
(Insert huge sigh of relief here)
Predictably, the vote was mostly along party lines, with a few defectors from each side of the aisle; five Democrats voted in favor of the bill and ten Republicans voted against the bill. One Republican voted "present."
Why Republicans would want to repeal a bill signed by George Bush that will save Americans $12.5 billion by 2020, cut pollution, and create manufacturing jobs is a complete mystery to me. Right-wing pundits like Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck, and Tea Partiers like Michelle Bachman have recently expended enough hot air to heat all of Buffalo next winter, trying to persuade people that the 2007 energy bill would outlaw incandescent light bulbs entirely. It does no such thing; as I reported back in March, (twice, in fact) it simply mandates that incandescent bulbs become more efficient.
It's lovely to feel, however briefly, that Congress occasionally gets something right.

Hope Support Services Team Building DayMonday, April 14th, 2014
On a sunny day in February, the National Diving & Activity Centre became a hub of excitement as the youth management teams of local charity, Hope Support Services, got together for the very first time.
With a buzz in the air and a spring in their step, 9 young volunteers started their day with a spot of 'speed dating', the perfect way to get to know each other. Six were from the well-established Herefordshire Y-Team and the others were recent recruits to the new Gloucestershire Y-Team.
The Y-Team members are all aged 14-25 years and each has experienced their own family health crisis making them well-placed to be a part of Hope, a charity which supports young people when a close family member is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Hope's Y-Teams have their own management structure, run their own bank accounts and organise their own fundraising bids and events to pay for the support service and activities. They drive the service forward, keeping it young and fun.
Once they all knew a bit more about each other, the time had come to get them working as a team playing the 'guttering game' to get an egg from one end of the room to the other. Over lunch members of the Herefordshire Y-Team welcomed the new Gloucestershire members, discussed roles and responsibilities and they all signed-up to the Hope Y-Team mission statement as proof of their commitment. Then, it was time to get out on the water.
Ness Holbrook, Hope's Youth Development Officer for Gloucestershire, said "The two teams had an amazing time on the water, building and racing their rafts. Amazingly both rafts survived the afternoon and stayed afloat! The young people did a great job working together which will stand them in good stead for their time with Hope."
She continued "We're really grateful to Darren and everyone at NDAC for supporting us and giving us the opportunity to use their fantastic facilities. It was the ideal place to for a team-building day like this. We'd love to come back soon!"
Easter events at the NDAC. Good Friday – Easter Monday 2013Thursday, February 14th, 2013
Easter 2013 at the National Diving & Activity Centre
Starting on Good Friday and continuing through to Easter Monday we will have lots happening over the Easter Weekend at the National Diving & Activity Centre. It's the perfect excuse to book a wooden wigwam and make a long weekend of glamping and diving.
All divers visiting the site will receive a small Easter egg when then arrive at NDAC.
On each day of the Easter weekend, from Friday to Monday, we will have a raffle with a giant Easter egg as a top prize.
On Saturday 30th, Sunday 31st and Easter Monday we will hold a BBQ.
For the divers, freedivers and snorkellers there will be eggs hidden underwater throughout the weekend for you to find.
On Saturday 30th we will have a GUE Experience Day.
In the evening there will be a talk at the View Cafe Bar on avoiding incidents.

Re: Smizik: Taylor's talent terrific, timing terrible
I don't want to see anyone else from the Steelers SB team go anywhere else, but reality bites sometimes. With today's salary cap going up higher each season and owners flashing their extra green, it is almost impossible to keep a solid unit together for any long period of time, unfortunately. I don't see the Steelers paying Ike an 8 figure bonus with all of these other key contracts coming up and I don't think they should, even after he has another season as a starter under his belt. We need to focus on our long-termers first and foremost.
Even though the paychecks may be bigger by "defecting" to another team, sometimes these guys learn the hard way that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Re: Smizik: Taylor's talent terrific, timing terrible
I haven't looked at the Steelers salary numbers in a while, so please forgive and correct me if I'm wrong.
Hypothetically, if Hartings retires next season (very probable) and we let Porter walk, we still won't have enough cash to resign Ike and Parker while giving extensions to both Ben and Troy. I'm not even including Max Starks. Ben and Troy alone are going to cost us an arm and a leg.
How exactly are we going to be able to resign Ike even if we let Porter walk and the probable retirement of Hartings? Off the top of my head, I don't think this will be possible. Somebody is going to have to go and I feel it's safe to say that it won't be either Ben or Troy.

Re: Smizik: Taylor's talent terrific, timing terrible
Depends what the new salary cap is .. Ben and Troy or Willie may do longer extensions and make the numbers low for a few years with a big signing bonus ect ect. It really depends on that cap number and what it will be. I know that we were under the cap by 10 million for next year i believe as of now due to restructured contracts, some of the old contracts that we carried for players not with us ect ect ...
But remember, the Steelers have offered a number to taylor so is not like they are not trying or were not trying to do something with him.. ( i know there will be people that wil lsay ... the Steelers didnt even try to sign him ect ect ) .... To be continued

Re: Smizik: Taylor's talent terrific, timing terrible
look how long the steelers have waited to get a cb like ike. you go back to woodson and the big money they paid washington and scott. look at all the db's we have drafted high lately. infact if atlanta didnt pick d. hall or texans didnt take d. robinson, its likely the steelers wouldve passed on roetlhisberger for one of the 2. its pretty evident the steelers want that top notch cb and hes an integral part to their success.

Re: Smizik: Taylor's talent terrific, timing terrible
Yes of course everyone would love a top notch CB, but has Taylor proven he is worth that sort of money with his best year only making 1 INT ? I am not sold on him being a Pro Bowl corner at this point and yes i know , he had 25 passes defelcted .. that tells me two things ... 1 QB's and OC's are not afraid of him and 2.... he cant catch the ball well.
I hope he improves, but i read where in practice he missed an easy one that came to him again... I am sure the Steelers have and will offer him what they feel he is worth without breaking the bank on one player and keeping in mind who else they have coming up to sign in the near future as well.
When a player and his agent feel that they are one of the best at his postion, without making the Pro Bowl, and without the INT's ... is kinda hard to justify paying him top notch money on potential alone.
This is the NFl, the best of the best. Each player that comes into the league has potential.
Dont count out the fact of who he plays for and what system he is in either. Every player on our defense is an intregal part of its success because of the system.

Re: Smizik: Taylor's talent terrific, timing terrible
McFadden and Taylor.....thats a starting duo to be afraid of
i love ike, dont know why. maybe because he's so humble. the kids got talent and i think we'd be making a mistake not signing him. but if he is gonna cost us troy/parker/ben, then its obvious we let him go
