It's easy to spot the likely spike in unemployment among veterans that will come with the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. As of October, the unemployment rate among vets who served in post-9/11 operations was 12.1 percent, compared to 9 percent among non-vets. That rate is particularly bad news for the 1 million servicemen and women expected to return home between now and 2016. The White House, the Senate, the House, and even the first and second ladies have the issue under their wings. But finding a real solution before Veterans Day—or, more importantly, before troops come home from Iraq in December—is proving difficult.
- Executive Action (White House): Obama announced on Monday a plan to connect veterans with jobs at their local employment offices. A "gold card" will now allow vets a specialized jobs counselor for 6 months, and a new website will allow vets to type in their military occupation to be connected with hiring companies in the area. But, like other executive orders on jobs, without tax incentives passed by Congress, the new programs will only lead employers to vets—it can't make them hire.
- Hiring Heroes Act (House): The House introduced a bill in May that would require all troops to receive job training before returning home. The House passed it, but the Senate has yet to take up the bill. Instead, they'll roll it into what Obama proposed in the American Jobs Act, and an unrelated repeal of a 3-percent tax withholding for businesses who contract with the government. The amendment will require the bill to be sent back to the House, where Obama-proposed legislation is usually met less favorably.
- Returning Heroes and Wounded Warrior Tax Credits (White House and Senate): Without regard to the House's proposal, Obama's American Jobs Act includes up to $5,600 in tax incentives for companies hiring long-term unemployed veterans—double that if the veteran is disabled from service. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will introduce the bill to the Senate this week. Unlike its failed predecessor bills taken from the American Jobs Act, the incentives are paid for without raising taxes on millionaires, making it more likely to pass. But the road will be harder when the House sees its Hiring Heroes bill returned with many an amendment.
- Physician Assistant Training (White House): In a string of executive orders to boost job creation, President Obama announced that a program that trains veterans to become physician assistants would get priority in federal funding. But the scope of the program is unclear. When the initiative was announced, White House officials could not say how many it would reach.
- Joining Forces Initiative (first and second ladies): Jill Biden and Michelle Obama took on the issue of unemployment among vets and their spouses this fall in their "Joining Forces Initiative." The goal is to connect 100,000 unemployed members of military families with jobs, and last month, the first and second ladies announced an initiative by large private companies to hire 25,000. But none of the companies is bound to their word. A spokesman for the group said, "They don't have to hire, but they set the objective."

Pronoun Reference
To avoid pronoun reference problems, follow these simple steps:.
- As part of your final editing process, discipline yourself to read all the way through your draft, focusing only on pronouns.
- Circle each pronoun and draw an arrow to its antecedent.
- If you can't find an antecedent or if the antecedent isn't grammatically equal to the pronoun, revise the sentence using one of these strategies:
- Replace the pronoun with a noun to eliminate a vague pronoun reference.
- Supply missing antecedents where needed.
- Use a possessive pronoun to refer back to a possessive antecedent.
- Revise sentences which contain more than one possible antecedent. Make the pronoun reference clear and unambiguous.
- Place the pronoun so that the nearest noun is its antecedent.
Once you've focused on pronoun reference a few times, you'll progress from correcting errors to avoiding errors, saving yourself lots of editing time. The only way to develop your skill with pronoun reference, however, is to focus attention on pronouns until clear, explicit pronoun reference becomes a habit of your writing.
The other tutorials in the pronoun unit will teach you how to make pronouns agree with their antecedents and will help you choose the correct pronouns for specific kinds of sentences. For now, though, it's time to review pronoun reference and to test your skill on identifying pronouns and antecedents and making sure that every pronoun has a clear, explicit antecedent.

Sound Design Inspiration from Outer Space
A few months ago I came across a Twitter post made by Stephan Schütze (a recent Designing Sound contributor) that continues to resonate with me (no pun intended) and I wanted to share it with anyone in the sound design community that has yet to hear these sounds.
As a side note, Stephan's tweet was unrelated to his Designing Sound contribution (which can be found here) that he wrote for our monthly theme dedicated to Vehicles.
The original Twitter post was for an article entitled:
NASA Probes Record Sounds In Space – And It's Terrifying.
I was immediately enthralled as soon as I heard the sounds. Opposed to my previous beliefs, outer space actually does produce sound, and the sounds are quite remarkable.Read More

Easter Acres Fireworks Magic - The heart of the farm
We live just south of Jacksonville, Florida on about two and one half acres of beautiful land. For eleven years we have been involved in the world of small equine and have, in the past five years, gotten into Shetland Ponies. Our farm currently consists of three Miniature Horses and five Shetland Ponies that have been raised and trained right on our property by the family.
Each of our animals is a part of our family and is treated as such. They are given a daily dose of love which makes them eager to please. All of the horses have participated in helping the community in some way, whether it is going to a nursing home or helping girl scouts earn a badge. As you can tell, they are not just show horses, but teachers and friends first and foremost. We have learned a great deal by being around our small herd and we hope to continue to learn and have fun.
Please look around and feel free to contact us with any questions/comments/concerns. We are more than happy to hear from you.

China Copper Imports May Remain Robust on Stockpile Build
Feb. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Copper imports by China, the largest user, may remain robust in coming months as traders build stockpiles closer to consumers to cash in on arbitrage opportunities, said Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
Merchants have been increasing inventories at exchange and bonded warehouses to quickly benefit from arbitrage windows between Shanghai and London, which close quickly, and to meet the growing tendency for consumers to live hand-to-mouth, said Nick Trevethan, the bank's senior commodities strategist in Singapore.
An increase in copper imports may fuel the metal's 11 percent gain this year in London, after shipments declined for the first time in eight months in January from a record the previous month. Inventories monitored by the Shanghai Futures Exchange rose last week to the highest ever.
"China's imports may continue at comparatively high levels for next few months, even if there's very little financial motivation in terms of a profitable arbitrage window right now," said Trevethan.
China's imports of the refined metal, copper alloy and products dropped to 413,964 metric tons in January, the customs agency said Feb. 10. This compares with a record 508,942 tons in December.
Inventories monitored by the Shanghai bourse jumped by more than threefold to 198,202 tons from a 27-month low of 57,655 tons on Dec. 1, bourse data showed Feb. 10.
London Metal Exchange stockpiles fell 19 percent to 313,500 tons in the same period, exchange data showed. LME stockpiles touched a 29-month low of 312,750 tons on Feb. 10. Stockpiles in Asia shrank 60 percent to 24,475 tons during the period.
Copper for three-month delivery dropped 0.2 percent to $8,407 a ton on the LME at 3:20 p.m. in Tokyo.
Destocking Cycle
Stockpiles within China may not be large enough to allow a long destocking cycle, Morgan Stanley said in a Feb. 8 note. The bank estimated stockpiles at bonded warehouses in China at near 350,000 tons, compared with 750,000 tons in early 2011.
About 300,000 tons of copper was probably added to bonded warehouses and merchant inventory in China in the fourth quarter and stockpiles likely continued to expand this year, Barclays Capital said in a Feb. 7 report.

Re: Instructional DVD on the Serve
honestly. no dvd will help you as much as ANYONE who knows what they're about in real life.even if you don't have money for a professional coach, go to a local highschool, find their number one varisty singles player, give him ten dollars, and have him help you with your serve. seriously. do it. it costs less than a DVD and it will probably help more. and at most you will be outside doing something instead of sitting on your butt watching SOMEONE ELSE play tennis.

'Burg Parkway lanes should open by end of month
During the City Manager's Report section of the city commission meeting Tuesday night, Cindy Ogle gave an update on two construction projects that are currently under way in the city, one of which has been affecting traffic at the north end of town.
On the Parkway, the slope stabilization and retaining wall project, which began March 4, is proceeding according to plans, Ogle said, and additional lanes may be open by March 29, Good Friday.
As of Tuesday, the drilling of the pile holes is complete and all piles have been set. The contractor, Charles Blalock and Sons, is in the process of installing the 8 by 8 pressure-treated blocking. The rock drape contractor, Ameritech Slope Constructors, has cleared the slope and is in the process of drilling and installing the 283 anchors that will attach the drape to the rock bank.
Traffic has been down to one lane in each direction, causing delays, but Blalock expects to open the second south-bound lane to traffic, and possibly the second north-bound lane, by March 29.
"That's really pretty good news, considering what's going on down there," Ogle said.
"It would be great to get those lanes open by Easter weekend, and it's around spring break for a lot of people," Commissioner Mike Helton said.
The contract completion date is still targeted for April 12.
Also, contractor Rich Construction has mobilized and began work on the Parkway Visitor Center Renovation Project March 11.
"They're in the process; they have removed lots of vegetation and are installing erosion control, as well as safety fencing, and have started excavation to reach sub-grade," Ogle said. "So things are beginning to move with that project as well. We'll keep updated as often as we can."
The new Parkway Visitor Center, located at the intersection of U.S. 321 and U.S. 441 (Traffic Light No. 3), is being renovated in part by funding from Tennessee Department of Transportation grants.
Planned renovations include a splash pad, interpretive mountain areas, expanded seating areas and removal of vegetation.

One of the most daunting challenges artists face is instilling a sense of movement and action into a drawing or painting. Just as artists must conjure a three-dimensional image on a two-dimensional picture plane, they must also create the sense of time passing in a medium that ultimately does not move or change—unlike, say, music, dance, or film.
The artists featured in this issue all have managed to overcome this obstacle and imply a strong sense of motion, action, and life in their work, giving their viewers dynamic, exciting experiences.

EADS Has First-Quarter Profit, Raises Earnings Guidance for 2012
May 16 (Bloomberg) -- European Aeronautic, Defence & Space Co. returned to profit in the first quarter and raised its guidance for some earnings this year, while cautioning that its latest aircraft program remains "very challenging."
First-quarter net income reached 133 million euros ($169 million), compared with a year-earlier loss of 12 million euros, EADS said today in a statement. Profit fell short of an estimate for 239 million euros in a survey of analysts. EADS said its Airbus SAS subsidiary booked a charge of 158 million euros to fix wing cracks on the A380 double-decker aircraft.
The company raised its guidance for earnings per share to "above 1.85 euros" for this year from more than 1.65 euros, and maintained a goal to lift jet deliveries in 2012 to a record 570. EADS, based in Paris and Munich, also reiterated its guidance for operating profit before special items to rise above 2.5 billion euros this year.
Profit by that measure reached 480 million euros in the first quarter, while revenue climbed 16 percent to 11.4 billion euros, EADS said. Airbus contributes two thirds of sales.
"Demand for commercial aircraft and civil helicopters remains healthy and our institutional business fared reasonably well despite European budget pressures and an uncertain economic environment," EADS Chief Executive Louis Gallois said in a statement.
Leadership Change
The 68-year-old Frenchman will retire from the top post after the shareholder meeting in Amsterdam, and be succeeded by 53-year-old German Tom Enders. Enders has run Toulouse-based Airbus since 2007, and before that held posts including co-chief executive of EADS as well as head of EADS's defense unit, now called Cassidian.
EADS booked the charge of 158 million euros in the quarter to fix cracks in the wings of the A380 flagship double-decker aircraft, a permanent repair that it said was "more complex" than initially assumed.
Airbus is still aiming to deliver 30 A380s this year, though the target has become more challenging, and the company is in discussions with customers amid a "more back-loaded delivery pattern," EADS said. The plan to break even on the A380 program in early 2015 remains, EADS said.
The A350 program for a new wide-body aircraft to challenge Boeing Co.'s 787 and 777 jets also remains "very challenging," EADS said today.

Poor Matthew. He's the only morning person in a family of five.
This morning I heard him ask Ayden, "Why your attitude badly today?"
Ayden was grouchy. He answered, "I just am crabby because I need to eat my blueberries without anyone talking to me."
About ten minutes later, Matthew piped up, "Ayden, your attitude feeling better now? You already ate your blueberries."
I howled.
Ayden's attitude generally needs adjusting a few times a day. This comment was SO fitting. Especially because I could see that eating his blueberries had NOT made Ayden's attitude feel better. Too funny.

Perdomo Champagne Robusto Reviews
write your own review
But this is definitely not the case here. All of the cigars in the champagne series I have personally smoked have been great. Smooth, creamy, flavorful and down right good. If some of you that are having bad experiences with cigars would join A cigar forum, others with more experience might have A few pointers to help you out. Most often bitterness in A cigar is simply to much moisture. Give them time to level out then rate your cigars, you might see A big deference
Save your money this cigar looks nice, smells alright, but a very awful tasting cigar. Even my local cigar shop can't give these away. This is one cigar that Perdomo bombed on!
smoked several of these and consistently great taste and creamy smoke once you re about a half inch in. stays pretty cool and tasty to the nub.
I lit one straight from the mail, and it was like trying to keep a banana lit... I'll let them sit and see how they adjust
Major spice from beginning to finish, with very little complexity. To be fair I tried these twice with different orders, but my opinion didn't change. Not a terrible smoke, but a real disappointment for the price.
The construction of the cigar was what I was most impressed with. Not to take away from the taste which just gets better as you work your way through. Great smoke. I got a 5 pack for just $18 from Cigar Monster, feels like a downright steal now.
With white jerez/xeres/sherry "fino muy seco" and a few months of rest in the humi, this smoke turns from "blah" to "ahhhh!". Perhaps as bright, robust and complex as a CT/ shade smoke gets. It sure aged better than any CT I've attempted coddling.
This is a fantastic cigar for Saturday or Sunday morning with a cup of Columbian coffee. Never had a wrapper problem or bad burn. Has a hint of spice at the end.
The taste is not so bad but not the greatest, the draw and burn are one of the best I have ever had.
I'm usually a maduro smoker and had the Champagne suggested to me by one of the Famous staff. A delightful change to heavier cigars with an interesting mix of flavours that keep me going back for more. I've recommended this to friends who are experienced cigar smokers and they too have reacted the same way.
Smokes like a mild punches like a full strength. This cigar is mild and creamy. With slight hints of nuts and spices. Absolutely no pepperyness. Had it sitting in my box for a few months and I am rather enjoying it. its definitely a nice calm you down before bed cigar. Not sure what to pair with it but I would think a nice dram of Auchentoshan would go quite well with this. I did have a little minor wrapper pealing but nothing to turn you off of this wonderful smoke

Tim Tebow's star has fallen in New York. Why? Who's fault is it?
Posted 19 November 2012 - 10:27 PM
"With the way the whole Tim Tebow situation has blown up over the last few days I think what the fans want right now is some kind of explanation as to what happened with the trade. When the trade rumors began swirling there were a number of stories as to why the Jets were making the trade. The most prevalent was that owner Woody Johnson pushed the trade on the organization because he wanted to make a splash in the headlines which had been dominated by the New York Giants who had won the Super Bowl. Another rumor was that head coach Rex Ryan wanted the trade because he felt the organization made a mistake in abandoning the Wildcat when they allowed WR Brad Smith to sign with the Buffalo Bills. There was also the relationship between Ryan and Tebow that might exist since both share the same agent. Finally there was GM Mike Tannenbaum and the thought that he just couldn't help himself since he loves to make a deal and no deal loomed bigger than trading for Tebow.
Right now they all claim credit for the move. Johnson came out today and said all he is concerned with is winning and did not make such a move to sell PSLs or "hot dogs". He also implied that he signed off on the deal and was not the person making the deal. Tannenbaum has claimed all along that he initiated the move with the wheels kicking in his head once Peyton Manning signed with the Denver Broncos and he realized Tebow would be available in a trade. Rex continues to insist that he wanted Tebow from day 1 and that Mr. T approached him and Ryan was thrilled as soon as he heard the idea. The problem is, from a football perspective, neither Tannenbaums nor Ryans explanations seem plausible. If that is that case than the owner is lying to the fans of the team and has the type of control over the organization football operations that few owners have. If Woody is being 100% honest than the Jets front office is inept.
Fans are passionate about this team and want to make informed opinions about their franchiseI can feel that passion anytime a reader of mine posts a comment, sends me an email or sends me a tweet. Go visit thejetsblog.com,. jetnation.com, and jetsinsider.com that have a far larger readership than I do and read the comments. Fans aren't negative because you cant make them happy. For the most part they are negative because they care about the team and when the team falls apart a part of the fan falls apart with it. When the feeling is that someone is being misleading with them or simply incapable of "righting the ship" they want changes. If you explain why these things happened at least the blame game is more directed and far more warranted. Let's revisit the entire Tebow timeline:
March 7- The Indianapolis Colts Release Peyton Manning
This set the wheels in motion for the entire chain of events surrounding the Jets QB position. Multiple teams in the NFL were expected to make a pitch to Manning, including the Jets. Other teams rumored to be interested with the Broncos, 49'ers, Dolphins, Titans, and Cardinals. Within a few days the Jets were told that there was no interest from Manning's side in playing in New York.
March 9- Jets Finalize Contract Extension with Mark Sanchez
With Manning quickly making it known that the Jets were not on his consideration list the Jets finalized an extension for Sanchez that was as much about cap relief as it was extending Sanchez. The Jets were very proactive with their planning as they were negotiating with Sanchez' agent in the event they could not make Manning a reality. As I said at the time the real meat of the deal was simply giving Sanchez a two year window to prove he was worth mid-tier (i.e. Tony Romo) QB money. Since Sanchez was taking a risk by giving up his free agent status in 2013 the Jets gave a large guarantee that would cover 2012 and 2013.
The deal was a bit strange in that the Jets had crafted a masterful contract with Sanchez in 2009 that allowed the team to "wield the hammer" in the final two years of the contract. It was one of the more unique and well negotiated deals for a team. It was the exact opposite of the deal given to the Lions Matt Stafford where cap charges and guarantees would ensure even more money and years coming to the player regardless of how good or bad he was. The Jets undid all the good they did in the orginal deal by guaranteeing Sanchez so much money in 2012 and 2013. Coming off such a bad season the Jets held all the power to threaten cutting the player for salary relief. It's a tactic the Jets have used in the past and continue to use today, but they failed to use it with Sanchez.
My feeling was and is that there was a split in the front of the room as to what Sanchez could do. They didn't go all in on the extension but they went all in on his rookie contract. My assumption was Rex did not want him since he had not exactly shown the greatest of support in his on field demeanor towards Sanchez but this was Tannenbaums guy so he got Rex to agree to the two year audition. Now Im not sure who was involved with that split.
March 16- Jets Sign Drew Stanton
With the extension in place you knew the team would not bring in a solid veteran backup that had ideas of starting. Stanton started a few games in the past but in general was a second/third string QB. Stories later surfaced that Stanton was told he could get a chance to start if Sanchez folded, which I think lends more credibility to the split in the front office. Think about this for a second. Someone is telling Drew Stanton, a 3rd stringer on the Lions last season, that he can start over the guy that only 7 days before you guaranteed $19.5 million dollars. Stanton's contract included a $500,000 signing bonus.
March 19- Manning Chooses the Denver Broncos
This is where all the stories from Rex and Tannenbaum seem to break down for me. It was just 3 days before this occurred that the Jets signed Stanton. It was well known as of the 16th that Manning was selecting from the Broncos, Titans, and 49ers. The way the dominos would fall there would be QBs available. If he signed with Tennessee veteran Matt Hasselbeck would be released. If he signed with San Francisco Alex Smith was expected to sign with Miami which would have put former Tony Sparano starter Matt Moore on the Jets radar. If he went to Denver, yes Tim Tebow would be available.
Based on the deal given to Sanchez it might be reasonable to say that the Jets would not have pursued Hasselbeck though he was already in a situation where he was willing to back up a young QB. Moore had designs on starting somewhere so he maybe the Jets were not sure on him as well. But Tebow was going to be out there. If the Jets had any inkling that he would be an option why not wait to sign Stanton? Its not as if Stanton was a high demand player. He's a journeyman QB. He would have been there in a week or two. How could the team have been so smart covering all bases with the Sanchez extension negotiation but then not even considered the possibility of these other QBs becoming available? When you listen to the Jets version of the story it was like the biggest stunner in the world that Tim Tebow was available. That's nonsense.
March 21- Jets Trade for Tim Tebow
That sure didn't take long for the shocking availability of Tebow to occur now did it? There were supposedly three teams interested in Tebow- the Jets, Rams, and Jaguars, though the Rams denied any interest in the player. The rumors about the Jets began on the 20th, the day Manning officially became a Bronco though they were considered a longshot due to the extension given to Sanchez. By the 21st the deal was set between the Jets and Broncos. It was a stunning development that left most Jets fans saying what is this team doing. The move made no sense from a football perspective. Sanchez cant throw but Tebow throws even worse. They just blew $500K on Stanton and now were going to blow more money on Tebow? By the afternoon the deal hit a snag with the Broncos wanting payment back from the Jets to cover the salary advance paid by the Broncos to Tebow in 2010. Now this was stunning that the Jets would not have anticipated that development. Salary advances had become a normal payment mechanism in rookie contracts to circumvent a loss that the NFL suffered in court when attempting to recover option bonus money. The court case surrounded a former Broncos player, Ashley Lelie, and the Broncos so Denver was well vested in protecting their cash. The Jets had been using salary advances since 2007 in their own rookie contracts so missing this development made them look lost.
Part of me says that they were so wrapped up in getting Tebow that they totally overlooked it maybe figuring since the player wasn't asking out that the team would honor the payment. Part of me says that they knew this was the deal but were willing to make themselves look foolish in hopes that the owner would back off pushing the deal through since the Jets could now claim that it was too expensive. Whatever it was it looked like complete mismanagement of the situation.
When this all went down I was in disbelief. I wrote an article on it before it became official wondering what in the world they see in the player. I think everything I wrote ended up being true in that there was no logical football reason to bring him in. The Jets knew that Tebow envisions himself as a starter and wants to be a starter. Supposedly they promised him that chance if things went south just as they did Stanton. The Jets denied telling Stanton about starting, but Tebow has far more pedigree that it is hard to believe that the rumor about him being told that is also untrue. Now this move came just 14 days after you sign Sanchez. 14 days after a $19.5 million guaranteed deal. How in the world does someone come out there and give Sanchez that extension when you are bringing in backups under the premise of an opportunity to play if Sanchez stinks? How does that add up to anything but incompetence or a meddling owner telling you to say anything to get a guy in here?
March 26th- Tebow Talk Begins
To be honest Im not sure if this was the actual date or not, but it was around this time that Rex started to go crazy talking about the deal of 20 snaps a game primarily in the Wildcat. Tannenbaum echoed those statements about how the Jets were going to use him in a number of ways; Johnson chimed in as well talking about how they now have a versatile valuable offensive weapon that can also be a backup QB. Players got in on it as well more or less talking about all the things Tebow could do for the team.
Its no secret that Ryan was upset that the team did not keep Brad Smith on the roster in 2011 allowing him instead to sign with the Buffalo Bills. Smith was Ryan's option QB. When the offense sputtered badly in 2011 Rex wondered aloud why the Wildcat wasn't being run more which led to a few poor efforts featuring WR Jeremy Kerley as the Wildcat QB. So Ryan's talk was at least reasonable given his history as head coach.
Summer Training Camp
The use of Tebow became one of the most well guarded secrets in America. It was comical the way the Jets wanted to protect any knowledge of the Tebow packages. Practices in the summer are mainly open to the public and the Jets more or less never worked on it. There were plays here and there but by and large it was a mystery. Coaches asked Ryan not to run that set in the preseason. Ryan agreed. Tebow played as a standard backup QB in the preseason games and looked awful in doing so. But just wait until they unveil the packages.
2012 Regular Season
Tebow plays all of 13 offensive snaps in his first two games as a Jet, a far cry from the 40 or so proclaimed by the coach. By game 6 it was clear he was a 6 snap a game player, many of which were being played as a decoy at the WR position. There was no special red zone package with him at QB. No special plays designed for Tebow on offense. Other than faking a few punts Tebow had almost no impact on the games. Sanchez is having a horrible season but there is no consideration given to making a change.
Now in week 11 players have begun chirping that Tebow cant play and worse than that the offensive coordinator now says he cant run the Wildcat and never ran the Wildcat. Its more or less true as Tebow is the classic read option style QB player whereas the Wildcat involved two players potentially catching a snap and a ton of motion leading up to it. Still it makes you wonder what you gushed about back in March if your offensive coordinator now says the guy cant do it and has never been able to do it.
As I went through each instance of the Jets handling of the QB position this season its pretty clear that someone needs to be responsible for this mess. Looking at the timeline I cant see any possible way that the Jets trade for Tebow came from the front office. There is no way they would have signed Stanton if they considered Tebow and there is no reason for them to not have considered Tebow on that date. I have to think all the gushing about Tebow was said because it was suggested from above that "couldn't Tebow be that Wildcat guy you want"?
If that is not the case than there is no way to sugarcoat how bad the football operations side was this offseason. From the Sanchez extension with no consideration to potential upgrades to the Stanton signing just showed extreme short sightedness from the General Manager. The Jets were never in a cap position that forced the Jets to do anything with Sanchez' contract. Then they were willing to give away 500K in cap room on a team that does everything it can to make players give back small amounts of money because they know the player has limited options if cut. The salary advance issue just made them look like they didn't know what they were doing and maybe in this case they didn't.
If the final approvals came from Rex then Rex needs to stop being given authority to make personnel decisions. This goes back to my point that Tannenbaum just takes on the personality and opinion of whomever is around him which isn't a good thing. If Rex really believed that this was a valuable asset then he would play him. Now his own coordinator says he cant play the role Rex envisioned and they have to get creative to use him. Clearly the Jets do not have a backup QB because if they did they would have benched the starter. Considering how little they practiced some of these plays in camp Rex must have made the decision to not use the Wildcat before he ever got a look at Tebow in Green and White, using the same film footage he had access to before the trade.
Whatever it is that happened someone needs to be held responsible for the chain of decisions. Whats done is done but you want to make sure that this does not occur again. The Jets can't afford to keep making these mistakes as the team continues to crumble from their 2010 peak. If it turns out to be the owner which seems to be the most logical assumption than the only hope is going to be a strong willed, high profile GM that demands total control. If its Rex then he has to lose almost all say in personnel. If it was Tannenbaum from start to finish on this one then its time to move on. It's such a ridiculously bad chain of events that has helped the team crumble this season. Its not the only reason they are falling apart but it has probably tied the hands of the organization for thru 2013 barring a complete turnaround over these next few weeks."

Remember when REx and Sparano were "Saving it" for the regular season, and the team was so impressed with how well Tebow ran it in practice throughout Training Camp?
Those were the lies, I mean days......

I read the entire article and I still don't understand what he's bitching about.
He's trying to figure out who in the organization pushed for the Tebow trade.

I just don't understand what the Jets are doing. I predicted them to go 2-14 prior to this season, so they surpassed expectations.

I'm sorry I meant since he has been a Jet. Bronco time means squat to me.
He was only the most popular player in the NFL last year.......

You always live in a fog of denial regarding the fact that the Jets organization is a clown car.

New York is not a place for Christian virgin QBs to be superstars, it's a place where drunken womanizer QBs are superstars.
1. Eli Manning is neither of these things.
2. Are you suggesting Sanchez just needs to pick up a drinking problem?

Eli's won two Super Bowls, and the locals are still debating whether or not he's "elite." If he had a fur coat and a different bimbo every weekend, he'd be a superstar.
Sanchez has star power despite the fact that he sucks.
Tebow's a sucky choirboy. Bad combination for these parts.

I dunno, maybe I'm just comparing their W/L record over the past few years to every other team and recognizing the fact that they're in the top half of the league at the very least...
Must be a lot of clowns in the NFL eh?

I have had the pleasure to work with Judge Thomas Bertrand on many occasions and in several different capacities over the past 15 years. Mr. Bertrand is a town judge for the town of Morristown, a past border patrol officiate with Homeland Security as well as a greatly respected community member.
Judge Bertrand is an extraordinary person. His work is exceptional, timely and always beyond that which is required. His research is exceedingly thorough; his observations and questions on the bench reflect a depth of preparation and sound analysis for every case he hears. He has strong leadership, communication and investigative skills. He serves in many capacities for the Unified Court System.
He contributes positively to each situation with authority and confidence, and has excellent human relations skills. Judge Bertrands record with the court system and the legal community is outstanding.
Mr. Bertrand has an ability to formulate therapeutic solutions to complex client cases. He can determine directions for appropriate services and interventions for a diverse range of individuals. His assessment competencies are also well developed, and he is familiar with a wide range of adjudicative instruments for individuals with various legal needs.
He is also well known regionally for his mediation skills in St. Lawrence County courts. He is frequently called upon to handle the more difficult or delicate cases; he does this with great skill.
Tom works effectively with others in accomplishing challenging projects. He assumes a full measure of responsibility for tasks and has a willingness to teach, support and encourage other persons.
His ability to rapidly analyze and evaluate material is particularly useful in group endeavors and this skill serves him well in any courtroom situation.
On a personal level, Tom is simply a delightful person. He has a joy in living that is a pleasure to observe.
People are attracted to Tom due to his positive outlook on life and his good sense of humor. Many appealing qualities come to my mind when I think about Judge Bertrand: perceptive, intelligent, thoughtful, benevolent and compassionate. He also has a keen ability to empathize with others and to demonstrate a remarkable degree of warmth and kindness.
I recommend Tom Bertrand without reservation to his continued future professional endeavor as judge for Morristown Town Court. I highly recommend him for judicial service to the courts. He is a very, very special person who has a human touch and excels at all that he does.

(Lyon, MS) A smelly mess!
That's how people are describing a sewage leak in a Coahoma County, Miss., subdivision.
People who live in the East Park subdivision in Lyon are tired of officials turning up their noses to a situation that's been gong on for years.
"Oh, it stinks. It's like…it's stinking."
Jaunita White said the smelly problem in the East Park Subdivision is as plain as the nose on your face.
"It's right there at that fence, at the corner of that fence."
What's bubbling out of the ground isn't "black gold or Texas tea" — it's raw sewage.
Clarence Hornburger said he's been warning kids in the neighborhood to stay away from the mess.
"If you use the bathroom at home…that smell…but you're smelling it outside."
The sewage began surfacing two years ago and people here are upset the problem hasn't been fixed yet.
It boils down to who's responsible for the sewage lines in the subdivision, which was built in the 1970s and is located on a flood plain.
The sewage is coming out of the ground near Debra McClenton's house.
She said she got stuck with a $65 bill from someone who came out and looked at the leak but did nothing to fix it.
"We been asking someone to come out and look at the problem. But every time someone comes out to look at it, they tell us it's on us."
Her frustration is shared by Paul Pearson, the president of the Coahoma County Board of Supervisors.
He said it appears the sewer lines weren't properly installed.
"And you get into these subdivisions that were built years ago before evidently there was any kind of building codes or subdivision rules or regulations."
No one is claiming responsibility for the sewer lines, so the problem isn't getting fixed.
While it's being hashed out, the raw sewage keeps flowing, creating a haven for flies and mosquitoes and a threat to the public living nearby.
In front of the house where Andrew Brown, Jr., grew up, people have to walk across a plank to come and go through the yard.
He said his elderly mother doesn't dare come outside for fear of getting too close to the sewage.
"If a mosquito is out there dipping in that water, or flies or what not, and they come and bite somebody like me or you, then we're infected."
Paul Pearson said he's sent a letter to the Coahoma County Health Department detailing the problem.
He said that's the first step in taking action…action that's long overdue.
"We inherited these situations but we're going to get through it the best we can and as quick as we possibly can."

Clay Walker joins star-studded lineup to honor Fender
CORPUS CHRISTI - Country singer Clay Walker will join Tejano stars Sunday in a tribute to Freddy Fender at the American Bank Center arena.
Walker was a late addition to the lineup, said Ruben Cubillos, creative directive for Ivan Entertainment, one of the tribute show's promoters.
Walker asked to join after hearing about it from crossover sensation Emilio Navaira, who is one of the scheduled performers, Cubillos said
The concert also features Flaco Jimenez, Little Joe y La Familia, Augie Meyers, Ruben Ramos, Charlie Rich Jr. and Johnny Rodriguez.
Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
The addition of Walker may draw from a different fan base than that of the other performers.
"He's a different kind of musician," Cubillos said of the country musician known for the No. 1 hits "What's It to You" and "Live Until I Die." "Everyone who's on this showcase has had a personal relationship with Freddy, and Clay had that."
Walker and Fender recorded together and played in some of the same honky tonks, Cubillos said.
Walker's latest album, "Fall," includes a duet with Fender, his chart topper from 1975, "Before the Next Teardrop Falls."
Kirt Webster, Walker's publicist, said the two recorded it in Nashville and that it was Fender's last recording before he died Oct. 14, 2006, at age 69.
If you go
What: A Tribute to Freddy Fender
When: 8 p.m. Sunday

Industry's prescription for unhealthy profit loss
The bitter pill industry feels men, women and children should all be willing to ingest to prevent even costlier controls on what they pollute:
Swallow 72 ppm Carbon Monoxide, 13 ppm Nitrogen Oxide, 3960 mcg Particulate Matter and 3 ppm Sulfur Dioxide a day.
Those are the EPA required Air Quality Index ppm and mcg standards for these major pollutants for Moderate Air Quality. Oh, and there are Alerts when the dosage increases.
The US EPA monitors industry pollution emissions to attempt to maintain Air Quality Index Standards of as close to Moderate as possible.
Not always possible since industry releases 51 million tons of Carbon Monoxide, 11 million tons of Nitrogen Oxide, 3 million tons of Particulates and 6 million tons of Sulfur Dioxide. A total of 71 million tons per year.
That's not all the pollutants released into our air. Only the major pollutants are included in EPA Air Quality Alerts.
Remind industry they and their families breathe the same air we do.

Close your eyes and make a wish
As my birthday is getting closer, people in my family are asking what my wish list is. At this age it seems like you either own all the things you could get at a store, or the ones you truly wish for will remain on a long list because they are dreams and out of your reach, unless you have unlimited funds or a fairy godmother.
When further thinking about what I truly wish for, I can think of the impossible wishes such as summers never ending and calm and organized family days. The thoughts you have when you are completely exhausted and want your kids to be grown up and independent, to be able to go to a yoga class with your husband and not hire a babysitter. To hop on a plane and attend a far away wedding and enjoy the excitement of it all. But like the seasons our lives change.
And I might be particularly fond of summer - the heat, the water, light summer dresses, sandals, barbecue dinners and fresh berries. But even in summer we face our challenges - days that are too hot, bugs that bite and sunburned shoulders. So I look past the watermelon days to fall and all the beauty it brings. The cooler temperatures, the beautiful Canadian foliage, cardigans, pumpkins, cooler visits to the farm with tractor rides and giggling kids - and look at that...my upcoming birthday.
Well into September now, I am already enjoying it, another season approaching fast - but of all the places to be in the fall, Canada truly shines. And of all the ages my kids could be, those little toddlers have grabbed our hearts and sucked us in. They make us crazy, cranky and tired...but then you'll see them eat that watermelon, have their faces painted or watch them walk down the farm path with their dad and you know that enjoying the moment is truly the best thing to wish for.

Have patience and you shall receive (eventually)
When buying a house you weigh the new house versus the old house. A new cookie cutter builder special with no work to do, but walls as thin as cardboard, bad quality paint and, unless you spend a fortune on upgrades, not really top of the notch quality.
So, in our search for a family friendly neighbourhood last year, we went for the 'old' house. I am putting old in quotation marks here, because some of my European friends or even my grandparents here, would take offence to our house being old at 51 years. But, in the grand scheme of things it is, and we had to tackle some major renovations right off the bat.
We went into this with great ambition, our main concern after the neighbourhood and schools was a house that flows well, isn't too big, but big enough for two kids and all of our stuff. When we looked at this house, it was badly decorated with polyester curtains tacked on the windows, overstuffed leather couches, bad light fixtures and a muddy beige or hospital grey/white colour on the walls. We saw past that and looked at the potential - that's where the danger lurked. Because of all the potential, this house was priced so we could afford it, in a neighbourhood that boasts a lot of houses that are out of our reach.
Our excitement of this potential blinded us to the fact of how fast we would be able to 'upgrade' some of the things and how much money it would cost. So, here we are, 10 months after moving in and a lot has happened. My impatient self might think that I wish I was all done, but that's not realistic.
We put in an entire new heating system, air conditioner, duct work was installed throughout the house, we had our chimney rebuilt, painted every single room in the house, tore up vinyl tiles in the mudroom, moved plumbing, tore down 1960s wood paneling in the family room and did all the dry wall, speaker install, carpet install, and the list goes on.
I have to say that I am so proud of my hubby and all the work he has done. All of it was done by him with exception of the mechanical, chimney rebuild and carpet install. He has spent countless hours drywalling, mudding, sanding, painting, cutting trim, installing electrical, painting walls and installing tiles. And all of this while having to abide to toddler schedules! When looking at all the work he's done himself it's just baffling.
Two weeks ago B took the kids to visit his parents and I took those days to do a little work myself. I finally painted our master bedroom and I sanded and stained our wooden stairs down to the family room. At last our own room is finished - amazing how a lick of paint can make such a difference. I had to peel some remaining wallpaper, remove staples attached to a cable, but it's done, we have a room that does not look like a hospital room.
So- this house continues to be a project, we still have little things to tackle and we still need a lottery windfall to pay for new windows, but remembering how this place looked when we bought it and where it is less than a year later makes me happy. We saw the potential, we might have walked into the project a little blue eyed, but with continued patience and hard work we achieved a lot - we have a very comfortable house that feels like home and with a little more patience and elbow grease we will one day finish everything we have on our list.
Right now, I'm just looking forward to the last touches in our mudroom and we will be enjoying in-floor heat now that the cold weather is upon us. In truth this is a big thank you to the best hubby in the world for his patience, talent and ability to transform this house to what it is today and what it will be a couple of years from now - he has truly helped us create a home for our family and I love him for that and so much more.

Fruits of the season part 2
Here I am again, writing about tomatoes. You might be sick of it, but we are still producing a harvest with many green ones ready to ripen.
On my last post my very good friend S posted a comment with a link to The Wednesday Chef and a tomato recipe that I should try.
Now, my friend writes a great food blog and I am always happy to see what she is up to in Berlin - how her tastes have changed since we lived together, what's important to her now compared to our university years. Her blog revolves around food, something she loves and many of us do. The blog she pointed me to is a top rated food blog and I've been reading a lot of food related stories these days.
My blog was not meant to be about food, but rather a diary to capture stories I know we'd forget, especially as we are going through life at a child induced crazy speed (let's not even get to the fact that August and therefore summer is over).
I've had a very good memory and can recall many dates, times, songs, memories, events up to about 3 years ago. Coincidentally my memory no longer serves me as well (hormones, kid craziness or loss of brain cells?), so this is to keep my stories alive for myself and my family - and if it serves to connect long distance friendships, letting people feel they know a little more of what is going on in my life then that's great too.
So, not a food blog - but this post is again about food. I'm calling it part two, because I cooked the recipe that my friend pointed me to in part one...and you should try this. My hubby will agree full heartedly - it was so yummy, so simple, tasty and fresh that I want to make it again and again. And with all the tomatoes still ready to ripen I am sure we will recreate the recipe over and over this September.
Have a look and try it yourself.
