"The idea of labour law features 25 contributions from 29 leading experts in the field who challenge, in different ways, the way we think about labour law. All of the chapters are informative and thought-provoking. Several are outstanding...Following a useful introduction by the editors, the books successive chapters provide a wealth of information and analysis." - Anne Trebilcock, International Labour Review
" The Idea of Labour Law is something too important to be left to lawyers alone; so I hope this edited collection is read by a wide audience in employment relations." - Aaron Rathmell (Barrister)
Journal of Industrial Relations
"This book, of twenty-five chapters by thirty authors, is packed with information, insight, argument, and angst. These chapters variously cry grief and despair, call for fundamental reformulation, suggest a less radical range for adaptation and growth, or express sobering cautions even as they echo the last suggestion." - Matthew W. Finkin, Comparative Labour Law & Policy Journal

I am proud to say I pretty much only crochet - I finally learned how to knit recently but I still prefer one stick over two! I have this mad obession with making hats and shawls that I subsequently never wear… I end up giving most of what I make away. My favourite yarn to work with is fingering (sock) weight, followed very closely by laceweight, in semi-solid to highly variegated colours.
When I am not crocheting, you can usually find me on the field playing the best sport ever - Ultimate Frisbee!

text: Hearing Aid (2012) Jan 6, 2013 12:57:31 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by Aida on Jan 6, 2013 12:57:31 GMT -5 I don't have the hearing aids myself, but I've seen them in person and just love them. Very cute, they don't interfere with earrings, and they look just like the real thing. Of course they only come in pink and white, but most little girls with hearing aids choose pink anyway and I wouldn't be surprised if AG eventually puts them out in another color or two.The main downside to the hearing aids is that they do interfere with glasses slightly--the doll can still wear glasses even if she has aids in both ears, but the ridges of a doll's ears are only so wide, and on a doll wearing both, one type of aid or the other is left looking a little precarious. This would probably be less of an issue if the hearing aids' ear hook (the white part of the current model) were thinner, especially if it were some kind of very thin, flexible tube that couldn't break. However, this would probably require more steps in making them, increasing the price yet more, and might make for a hearing aid that could fall apart.The only other problem with these is the hole required to hold the hearing aids on (see above picture). It looks a little odd when the aids aren't in place (and will probably lead to some very confused collectors in the future!) but most dolls' hair can easily be styled to cover it. For customizers, it would also interfere with being able to fill the head with boiling water for eye swaps, but with some ingenuity the holes can easily be plugged temporarily.Despite the problems, I give the hearing aids a solid A+; all the issues I mentioned are minor and virtually unavoidable, and it's awesome of AG to put out another piece of assistive technology for children who need to know they're not the only ones.

Kitchen 45 at Embassy
Some dishes shine but dining feels like an afterthought 5 Reviews
- Picture 1 of 2
Embassy is decked out in masculine reds and blacks, illuminated with subtle spotlighting and smattered with a douse of abstract art. In one respect, it's everything a high-end club-lounge-restaurant amalgamation should be; in another, it holds no surprises whatsoever. This can also be said of the menu. It's modestly sized and each dish has regal appeal, with starters ranging from cherry tomato tart with goat's cheese and onion marmalade, to thin slices of duck breast with wild Girolles mushrooms. However, considering the prices, execution is not quite as slick as you'd hope. The same can be said of mains such as the sizeable yet unexciting rib-eye. The roast lamb embalmed in a crunchy mint crust, is a better bet, and the Eton mess and blackberry crumble make a nice bookend to the meal. But it's difficult to shake the notion that the restaurant is a mere afterthought to the overall club concept. Book late, since it's deadly quiet before 9pm.

As I got older (excepting a rebellious phase at age 10 and then once again in college) that was the lesson that stuck with me the longest; I still hear my mom's voice in my head when I'm picking things up at the grocery store. I can't stand white bread, and I still love the taste of wheat germ.
Have you picked up any similar strong habits from your parents?

China's E-Commerce Sales Day Tomorrow Looks Set to be Bigger Than America's Cyber Monday
By Steven Millward @EzineArticles 11/9/12
November 11th became a bizarre and jokey Single's Day in China in the 1990s, celebrated as a sort of anti-Valentine's day. But back in 2008, the iconic date – 11/11 – got a new meaning, and a greater urgency, when China's top e-commerce site, Tmall, decided to turn it into a huge online shopping sales day. It quickly became a new national institution, and now all the country's e-commerce sites join in the cut-price e-commerce spending spree that's known as Double Eleven. 2012's Double Eleven looks set, for the first time ever, to surpass America's Cyber Monday in terms of sales volume.
Last year's Cyber Monday in the US, in data from ComScore, saw $1.25 billion in sales, which was up 22 percent from the previous year. But China's Double Eleven, with discounts of up to 50 percent on many items – is poised to pass that huge stat. 2011's 24-hour online spending spree in China raked in US$830 million in transactions for just the two largest sites in the country, Alibaba's Tmall and Taobao – and that figure was up 373 percent from the previous year. Sadly, nationwide stats for all sites are not available.
So – brace yourselves for this – China's Double Eleven online shopfest tomorrow will not only be bigger than America's comparable day, but just two Chinese sites will likely beat that $1.25 billion sales figure by themselves. (continue @EzineArticles)

League of Denial
The NFL, Concussions, and the Battle for Truth
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
more"PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYERS DO NOT SUSTAIN FREQUENT REPETITIVE BLOWS TO THE BRAIN ON A REGULAR BASIS."
So concluded the National Football League in a December 2005 scientific paper on concussions in America's most popular sport. That judgment, implausible even to a casual fan, also contradicted the opinion of a growing cadre of neuroscientists who worked in vain to convince the NFL that it was facing a deadly new scourge: A chronic brain disease that was driving an alarming number of players -- including some of the all-time greats -- to madness.
League of Denial reveals how the NFL, over a period of nearly two decades, sought to cover up and deny mounting evidence of the connection between football and brain damage.
Comprehensively, and for the first time, award-winning ESPN investigative reporters Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru tell the story of a public health crisis that emerged from the playing fields of our 21st century pastime. Everyone knew that football is violent and dangerous. But what the players who built the NFL into a $10 billion industry didn't know – and what the league sought to shield from them – is that no amount of padding could protect the human brain from the force generated by modern football; that the very essence of the game could be exposing these players to brain damage.
In a fast-paced narrative that moves between the NFL trenches, America's research labs and the boardrooms where the NFL went to war against science, League of Denial examines how the league used its power and resources to attack independent scientists and elevate its own flawed research -- a campaign with echoes of Big Tobacco's fight to deny the connection between smoking and lung cancer. It chronicles the tragic fates of players like Hall of Fame Pittsburgh Steelers center Mike Webster, who was so disturbed at the time of his death he fantasized about shooting NFL executives; and former Chargers great Junior Seau, whose diseased brain became the target of an unseemly scientific battle between researchers and the NFL. Based on exclusive interviews, previously undisclosed documents and private emails, this is the story of what the NFL knew and when it knew it – questions at the heart of crisis that threatens football, from the highest levels all the way down to Pop Warner. less

You Tell Me About Yours. I'll Tell You About Mine. Then We'll Both Go Home & Cry.
Parents love to brag about their offspring; that's just a fact.
Before having a baby of my own, I never understood the manic excitement expressed over a child's "goo-gah," smile or bowel movement.
Now, I get it.
The heart-swelling pride you feel when your baby does something as seemingly inane as burping or as exciting as their first roll is quite incredible. So, naturally, you want to share it with the world. It's as though you're saying, "Hey, see this tiny human right here? Well, I made that and now look at it—it's the most amazing creature that ever blessed this planet."
Oddly, not every friend, acquaintance and stranger feels the same way about your prodigy. To them, it's just a baby doing what babies do, even if it is cute.
But there is one place you can be sure others will share your excitement, or at least feign interest—and that's with other mothers.
I have been absolutely blessed to meet some amazing mums and babies that I chat, cry and celebrate with. We've tried to avoid the sense of competition that I've heard can insiduously infiltrate mothers' groups, taking what should be an environment of compassion to one of one-upmanship and comparisons.
Yet, even amongst kindhearted mothers, we're making the comparisons anyway. We're not out for competition, but nor do we want our baby to be the last in the group to reach an important milestone.
We're told that there are important milestones our babies should be meeting: expect them to be doing x, y, z by age a, b, c. But what happens when they don't? Or when "all the other babies" seem to do it first? Well, you might feel like a lesser mother. You might start questioning what you're doing wrong. Maybe you even start to resent the other mums and babies for what they are already achieving.
For me, this holy grail is sleep. It seems like all the other babies do it. All night. In the five and a half months since my baby was born, I've been lucky to get two, maybe three hours of uninterrrupted sleep at a time. I'm operating on fumes. Exhaustion doesn't seem a strong enough word. Everyone else's babies though—oh, they sleep! They've slept through since four weeks (well, not really, but that's how it seems). Do I resent these mothers their months of unbroken sleep?
Yeah, a little.
I know that for other mothers it's their baby not rolling or not showing interest in food. It seems we all have something. While I don't feel like we're competing with each other, I do sense that we're beating ourselves up. It's an internal battle of needing to be "perfect," not just "good enough." We want to get it all right, all of the time, to show the world that we're doing a good job. As if we need to create more guilt for ourselves!
If there's one thing that's certain, it's this: Mother Guilt is real, pervasive and overwhelming. There is enough of it to go around without adding, "Tommy isn't rolling like Jimmy" to the mix. Plus, what a lot of pressure to put on our precious babies. I know I was walking at 10 months, while friends have told me they didn't walk until they were 18 months. Are they any less proficient walkers now? Certainly not.
Perhaps we need to step back from the pressure, the guilt, the comparisons.
I know that suggesting we just relax is far more easily said than done, but maybe it's not bad advice. I, for one, don't want to miss out on all the incredible things my baby is doing because I'm so focused on the things he's not.
I'm doing my best to be a mindful parent. One who doesn't beat herself up when the mummy guilt train or the comparison monster visits (which is often), but rather acknowledges the feelings, accepts that it is how I'm feeling (at least for that moment), and moves on.

Narconon rehab center has found a 2009 research study performed by the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) that found a strong correlation between non-prescribed Adderall use and the use of both marijuana and cocaine among full-time college students.
The illicit and illegal use of non-prescribed Adderall is reinforced by its reported effectiveness in increasing attention and ability to focus. Improper and unsupervised use of Adderall can lead to addiction, stroke and even death.
Individuals with an addiction to Adderall also face additional consequences, including legal ramifications and temporary or permanent suspension from institutions of higher education. Duke University considers the illicit use of Adderall to be against its drug policy and even a form of cheating.
Similarly, the University of North Carolina deems the possession of non-prescribed Adderall actionable under the Instrument of Student Governance. Off college campuses, non-prescription use of Adderall is a first offense misdemeanor and a second offense felony.
In May of 2011, pharmaceutical manufacturer Shire issued a statement supporting the appropriate use of Adderall and denouncing the abuse of the medication by college students. The company also emphasized the importance of the use of ADHD medications under the supervision of a medical professional as part of an overall treatment approach.
In an effort to help reduce the non-prescribed use of medications such as Adderall, Shire has sponsored educational and awareness programs for patients and healthcare professionals.
Graduates from the Narconon treatment program realized that drug and abuse doesn't only affect the individual struggling with the problem. They know that millions of people, including friends, families and employers were affected by their addiction.
The already overcrowded prison system is filled with people who were under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they committed their crimes. In many cases, the crime was committed to support the individual's addiction.
Adults aren't the only ones who become addicted to drugs and alcohol; teen prescription drug use has become popular nowadays when children and young adults can get their hands on their parents' prescription medications or purchase the Adderall college kids are selling.
Narconon meetings are non-profit drug rehabilitation programs dedicated to eliminating the abuse and subsequent addiction to Adderall through the administration of drug rehabilitation and the dissemination of information and education regarding addictive substances. This program has showed the benefits and effectiveness to thousands of individuals who have completed it and now live stable, drug-free lives.
If you need help right now, or you know someone who has a problem with drugs or alcohol, contact a professional counselor at 1-800-556-8885 today.

The 'trial' period of a relationship between a boy and a girl, if the two succesfully remain steady for a month they can become Boyfriend and Girlfriend, if this happens the two must shift in front of a substantial group of friends. During the time of going steady it is not compulsory for either the boy or the girl to parttake in any romantic acts other than meet and sit together for a while once a day. It is forbidden to propose going steady to a girl before engaging in two weeks worth of flirty texting, snapchatting etc.

The past month has been a busy period for me; finally I had a time to wrap up the last place I would like to review from my HK Spring trip this year. I took a morning ferry to Macau to have lunch at the latest Robuchon au Dome. I've been to Robuchon Galera about 5+ years ago and didn't really have a good experience there. Time has passed and the restaurant got a new "home" now; there're plenty of positive notes about Robuchon Macau since my dinner long time ago so I thought why not giving another try? Even though it's lunch, I opted to have a full tasting menu. As a matter of fact, I consulted with Chef Semblat via the restaurant reception's help to devise my own menu. It looked good on paper and the time finally come to taste them on my palate.
My top 3 (excellent) dishes are:
-Azerbaijan king crab served with romaine, olive oil and mozzarella. The crab was succulent and very well seasoned; it's enhanced by fresh vegetables and parmesan cheese. A fragrant dish with some complex taste, the presention matched with the plate. Alaskan crab could make it even better probably
-The best thing about Spring seasonal items is arguablly French morels. The chef prepared a delicious morel ravioli with its juice/foam; the mushroom was earthy and flavorful. On the contrary, the green asparagus on the side was average
-I've always been curious about Robuchon's famous dessert known as Le Sphere and it's actually worth its reputation. For my case the sugar ball contained mousse, cream and strawberry. A nice display of sweet, sour and refreshing flavors yet they're balanced. The sorbet was probably the weakest element
Besides the dishes above, you can expect plenty other good stuffs at any Robuchon restaurants. For instance:
-The caviar. I ate generous serving of caviar in fine coral jelly. It's as good as when I had it for the first time in Vegas: a lot of briny caviar was in contrast to the sweet crab meat & anise cream. Caviar on warm scallop with lemon grass cream was very pleasant and delicate. But the last part of caviar trio was disappointing – I referred to caviar on cauliflower mousse with croutons. The cauliflower was too much and rather bland (the "worst" among Robuchon's caviar dishes I've ever tasted )
-I enjoyed the delicate amadai's flesh texture and taste. The main flavor was derived from the barigoule jus, tomato and bacons; the most interesting part was the crisp scales
-Grilled A4 kagoshima beef was rich and delicious; almost as refined as the one I had at Amber a day earlier. The shallot and parsley puree provided some flavor contrast. I wish they had served the famous mashed potato here instead of the potato souffle
There were also some dishes that I thought were quite mediocre by 3-star meal standard
-The boston lobster. I had high expectation earlier, after all it's really hard to go wrong with any lobster dish. The claw tempura was greasy and cold when arrived at my table; the bisque was not hot with weak taste; the pasta was average with minimum amount of lobster underneath. The only good part was lobter royal, it has a nice jus/butter and roes
-The seared foie gras was too coarse. You would expect smooth and refine duck liver in the restaurant of this calibre although the flavor was Ok
-After a nice dessert in le sphere, the 2nd dessert turned out to be so-so. It's unusual for Robuchon to serve ordinary chocolate dessert. The ice cream 'sandwiched' in cream puff was forgetable; the chocolate coulis was rather cold and not really tasty; the vanilla 'cream' was the only good thing on the plate
There are 2-3 other dishes not reviewed that would fall in between the first 2 categories above. I suppose the more dishes you serve, the riskier it can become since the Chef might be bound to make more 'mistakes' a long the way. Despite a few 'negative' aspects, one is guaranteed to have a satisfying meal here – mine is without exception. Robuchon Macau serves French cuisine executedconsistently at high levels; I got a better meal this time compared to my dinner at Robuchon galera. And the best part of Robuchon au Dome is actually the price. Both the lunch specials and degustation menu are among the "cheapest" when compared to the other Robuchon fine dining establishments or other 3-star restaurants. The cost perspective will be my main reason to return here one day if I'm near the area, but I will not make a detour to Macau just to eat at the dome.
French fine dining is idential with excellent service that usually flows smoothly and looks effortless. However, it didn't seem to be the case here. There were plenty of staffs wandering around the dining room but possibly only fewer than half of them knew what they're doing. A few weeks ago I 'complained' how some waiters in Singapore/Hong Kong high-end places looked robotics; here it looked the same, but when I couldn't catch their dishes explanation and asked them to repeat somehow a few of them looked nervous and forgot what they just said. Then as I pointed to specific ingredient on my plate, they weren't too sure. The lack of communication skills (in this case caused by language barrier) often disrupted the enjoyment of the hospitality offered. The good part that these staffs (who are majority from mainland China) is that they worked hard and tried to smile to the guests all the times. I could recall the only exceptional staffs were the restaurant manager, Mr. Song as well as my maitre d' (forgot his name). The thing was my maitre d' handled a few tables as the restaurant was nearly fully booked so sometimes I was taken care of by not-so-competent staffs. It's not that they're really bad; I just thought that the restaurant did not give them enough training or to cut costs, they decided not to hire more experiences waiters/waiteresses. The predominantly not so experiences dining rooms staffs might have reflected some of the kitchen teams as well
When Robuchon Macau was moved the dome, the most talked about topic was actually the dining room: how awesome and luxurious they are. It's probably true especially as soon as you entered the 43rd floor foyer, there was the famous suspended crystal Chandelier hanging down at the middle of the ceiling consisting of more than 100,000 pieces of Swarovski crystals. Below, one could see the brown Steinway handmade grand piano. I happened to arrive earlier than most other guests, hence I had a chance to walk around the whole dining room areas including the private rooms. As I observed further, I don't find the overall interior design was coherently integrated. One could get the feelling that the owners simply would like to showcase the most expensive things money can buy. The chic design was combined with Renaissance paintings and Chinese arts – maybe I didn't get them. It's almost like the Lisboa lobby (both old and grand hotel) in which you can see lots of jade and gold art items that do not 'connect' well with the overall hotel design. It's very different than the dining rooms designed by Pierre Rochon at other Robuchon fine dining places. Compared to the Tokyo and Singapore dining rooms, the chairs here were not that comfortable (no sofa/booth) and the distance between tables were not too spacious. Anyway, that's my take on my Robuchon Macau lunch meal and I gave 94 pts for the overall experience (equivalent to 2 ½* by Michelin standard). It's not even closed to the European top restaurants, but still very good by the standard of Asia ex-Japan gastronomy establishments.

With today's weather being so gorgeous, we thought it appropriate to share with you some of our favorite outdoor dining spots in Astoria. So whether you're in the mood for something intimate or something grand, here are a few options that will satisfy all your fresh air needs.
718 Restaurant – This cool Frenchie spot on Ditmars has a nice atmosphere and lovely outdoor seating that snakes around the corner of the restaurant. You can also sit semi-inside, semi-outside if you position yourself right by the open window. We highly recommend getting the tarte flambees, they're delicious. 35-01 Ditmars Blvd, Astoria. 718.204.5553
Grand Cafe – Famous for their brunch, Grand Cafe has plenty of outdoor seating with nifty umbrellas to shield you from the hot sun. I love to enjoy a casual meal here, especially because the chairs are comfortable and the atmosphere is social – it's also great for people watching. 37-01 30th Avenue, Astoria. 718.777.7321
Ovelia – Another cool place to be seen, Ovelia offers a stylish outdoor atmosphere and wonderful food and drinks to boot. If you want to enjoy the breeze but still be inside, we suggest sitting by the bar, which faces a huge garage-style window that's open on nice days. 34-01 30th Avenue, Astoria. 718.721.7217
Studio Square – This is kind of a no-brainer, we know, but it's still a lot of fun on a warm day like today. It's especially conducive to large crowds so if you're going out with a group–we suggest popping in, grabbing a picnic table and staying the night. You won't get a livelier atmosphere than this! 35-33 36th Street, Astoria. 718.383.1001

Il Bambino – The total opposite of Studio Square, this place is a lot more laid back and casual – and it boasts a backyard garden. It's very cute, quaint and a perfect place to enjoy a delicious panini and a glass of wine. Mmmm… 34-08 31st Avenue, Astoria. 718.626.0087

Mackey: It's time we perceive Joe Mauer for who he really is
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
I received an email today from Patrick J., who is a loyal listener to the Mackey & Judd Show on 1500 ESPN - an email that had me thinking all day about how people perceive Joe Mauer's value (or, lack thereof for some).
(No, not THAT Patrick J... A different one.)
Here's what Patrick wrote:
The player Joe Mauer is most like is John Olerud in my opinion. It's a very fair comparison I think. They both bat lefty and play first base, obviously. I think the Twins would be pleased if Mauer could match Olerud's career HR and RBI numbers. Mauer is likely a slightly better hitter average-wise and his on-base percentage will likely be a bit higher though.
Olerud was a very solid player, but not a superstar. I think Twins fans (and the organization) should realize that is what Mauer is too. It's just too bad the Twins have to pay him $23 mil/year. I'm sure Olerud never made anything close to that.
A few things on this comparison:
1.) The Mauer-Olerud comparison is somewhat close offensively. Here are their average seasons through age 30:
Mauer: .323/.405/.468... 10 HR... 28 doubles... 63 RBI... 69 runs... 4 SB... 118 games
Olerud: .301/.406/.482... 17 HR... 32 doubles... 76 RBI... 75 runs... 8 SB... 139 games
Due almost entirely to playing more games, Olerud has slight edges in the counting stat categories.
2.) Olerud's salary was $6 million during a time in which the highest paid player in baseball made $8.5 million. He was, indeed, one of the highest-paid players in the game in the early- to mid-90's. Mauer makes $23 million in an era where the highest paid player makes $30 million. Neither player's salary prevented his team from signing other players.
3.) Let's not forget Mauer played catcher for the majority of his first 10 years in the big leagues. Olerud played first base and DH throughout his entire career. It's a hell of a lot easier to stay on the field regularly when you're playing first base and DH than when you're catching.
4.) Olerud was probably one of the most underrated players of his time - an era that didn't fully appreciate the value of getting on base at a .400+ clip.
Here's the problem: Many people see Mauer being compared to guys like Olerud and immediately think, "Wow, what an overpaid bum." Because Mauer doesn't hit for the power of a Miguel Cabrera or an Albert Pujols (in his prime), this is somehow viewed as a detriment to his ability as a player.
Yes, power-hitting, run-producing corner infielders and outfielders are some of the most valuable hitters in baseball. But just because Adam Dunn had more home runs and RBIs than Joey Votto and Andrew McCutchen last season doesn't mean he should be mentioned in the same sentence.
To further illustrate value - or, more accurately, the illusion of value, here are five similar players and their average seasons through age 30:
Player A: .329/.385/.435... 5 HR... 25 2B... 54 RBI... 77 runs... 26 SB... 129 OPS+... 133 games
Player B: .328/.384/.434... 6 HR... 24 2B... 56 RBI... 74 runs... 22 SB... 132 OPS+... 133 games
Player C: .297/.357/.433... 10 HR... 24 2B... 46 RBI... 79 runs... 28 SB... 118 OPS+... 113 games
Player D: .356/.445/.485... 9 HR... 38 2B... 67 RBI... 101 runs... 2 SB... 151 OPS+... 147 games
Player E: .323/.405/.468... 10 HR... 28 2B... 63 RBI... 69 runs... 4 SB... 136 OPS+... 118 games
Player A is Tony Gwynn. Player B is Rod Carew. Player C is Paul Molitor. Player D is Wade Boggs. All four are Hall of Famers. Of course, longevity played a huge role, as all four of those players logged at least 17 full seasons in the major leagues.
And if you were paying attention earlier, you know Player E is Mauer, who played a far more taxing position - catcher, obviously - for most of those first 10 years than the other four players mentioned.
What about one of the other major perceived knocks on Mauer: He doesn't drive in enough runs.
First off, his career batting average with runners in scoring position is .333. His career average with runners in scoring position and two outs is .343.
But did you know... Gwynn, Carew, Molitor and Boggs - again, all four Hall of Famers - combined to drive in 100 runs four times in their collective careers.
Four times.
Carew and Gwynn combined to score 100 runs only three times.
Yet, we consider all four of these men to be some of the greatest hitters of all-time. As we should. Because they are.
Mauer must stay healthy and produce well into his 30's to be considered among the Gwynns and Carews. But for now, maybe it's just time we all started to evolve our perceptions.

Saddle Brands
Ok, I understand you typically get what you pay for. That being said, what are your favorite saddle brands?
I am looking for a round fender (I have an Arab) that is REALLY comfortable in the seat as I have a bad back.
I LOVE the Tucker brand, but my wallet doesn't. lol
I saw a King Brand Tough-1 Round fendered Endurance saddle that I thought I would like, but I just don't know enough about brands to know what is good and what isn't.
I currently have an old simco I bought at a resale shop in the colorado mountains. I love it, but I need something a bit more comfortable like the tucker I sat in once an about never wanted to leave!
I like the Circle Ys and so do my Arabs! Have you tried a padded seat cover?
I did have a gel seat cover on my simco before I stop riding after my back injury, but not sure where it is at the moment. I am still trying to round up all of my tack after it got "stored" in my husband's garage in multiple places. Also, not sure what I have left after a theft occurred.
I love my crates.
I love my simco I can sit in that all day. I suggest finding or investing in a new seat cover.
King series and tough 1 stay away from. Never pay that little for something new.
Corriente has to be my fav I ride in a roper from them and my daughter has a barrel saddle from them :)
Posted via Mobile Device
how much is too little for new?
what is a gaited saddle mean? I know their are "gaited" horses like Walkers, but Im not sure what it means other than a different movement in the horse.
Anything under $500 new is usually always junk. Gaited saddles are shapped differently for the shoulder movement of a gaited horse.
Are you asking about Western or English?
I ride English, and have quite a few favorite saddle brands.. however I currently have a custom saddle on order from Black Country saddlery, and I cannot wait to get it in..!!

Stocks could be 'dead money for a while' warns Marc Faber in an interview with Barron'sPosted on 29 December 2013 with 1 comment from readers
Author of the 'Doom, Boom and Gloom Report' Dr. Marc Faber thinks the year ahead could see stocks as 'dead money for a while'. He also thinks the gold price has probably now reached a bottom with strong Chinese buying balanced against a sell-off by investors in the West.
Gold stocks are now one of the few recommendations he makes for the New Year aside from expecting a cyclical upturn in European multinationals…
1 Comment posted by readers:
The YEN is at around 105 now (take or give) We may see 110-120 in 2014. When the YEN bottoms then Gold/Silver should have bottomed. As the YEN drops I reckon that the market in the US and Japan should also see some more gains. I would think that once we hit these numbers then the market turns around. Little more room at the top I reckon. Hard to call the exact top though.

1966-08-24 Curtis Cokes w pts 15 Manuel Gonzalez, Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA - WBA
1966-08-24 Curtis Cokes w pts 15 Manuel Gonzalez, Municipal Auditorium, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA - WBA. Referee: Pete Giarusso. Scorecards: 8-3, 9-3, 7-5. In contesting the WBA version of the vacant title, with Cokes (145¾) and Gonzalez (147) meeting for the fifth time, at the final bell it was clear that the latter had been beaten for the fourth time. Although Gonzalez gave a good account of himself in the fourth and fifth rounds, he was far too negative, clutching at every opportunity, and did not do nearly enough to convince the judges. With the exception of an explosive 12th round when Cokes blasted Gonzalez to the canvas following a flurry of hard blows from both hands there was not much excitement, and even when the latter got up the man from Dallas could not finish him off.
Brian Curvis was to have been Cokes' next opponent, but when he was forced to withdraw with an injured foot it was quickly decided that he would be replaced by the unbeaten Ted Whitfield, Percy Manning, Francois Pavilla or Jean Josselin, the European champion. With Manning lined up to contest the Californian version of the title and Pavilla not even ranked, it was the top-rated Josselin who was ultimately selected. Whitfield was now rated in the top three, numbering Gaspar Ortega and Charley Scott among his 23 victims, but any chance of a crack at the winner disappeared when he lost five of his next six contests.

TOOELE, UTAH, MAY 28 - BMW Motorrad's Marco Melandri took advantage of a mistake by Althea Racing Ducati's Carlos Checa to give BMW their first win at Miller Motorsports Park before a weekend crowd of 49,000. Honda's Jonathan Rea was second and Aprilia's Max Biaggi third.
The first attempt to run the race ended on the fourth lap when Honda's Hiroshi Aoyama crashed exiting the Attitudes, spilling fluids on the track. It would be nearly 90 minutes before the track was clean and the race was re-started.
When it did Checa was in the lead and streaming away when he crashed on the sixth of 18 laps, down from the original 21. Checa remounted and pitted, then rejoined the race. Later he would retire.
Melandri was in front at that point with ParkinGO MTC Aprilia's Chaz Davies second before being passed by Rea on the seventh lap. Early on lap eight Biaggi passed Kawasaki's Tom Sykes for fourth.
The lead trio tried to pull away, and did, but Biaggi had something in reserve. As did Rea. He passed Melandri early on the 11th lap and Davies soon followed, while Biaggi closed.
Melandri soon repassed Davies as Rea seemed to be stretching his lead. But Melandri had a plan. On the final lap he drafted by Rea into the first turn. Rea took a look inside on the next corner, but never made a serious play for the lead.
The margin of victory was .195 sec.
The win, coupled with his second in the first race, made the day the best yet in World Superbike for Melandri.
Biaggi passed Davies on the 16th of 18 laps to take third comfortably after Davies understood there wasn't enough tire under him to fight back. Still, it was his best World Superbike finish. (His previous best was seventh in the second race at Donington Park.)
With Checa's crash, Biaggi re-took the championship lead with 160.5 points to 142.5 for Melandri and Sykes 142.5, Rea with 141, and Checa with 130.5.
Sykes ended up fifth, just in front of Aprilia's Eugene Laverty. Next there was a group contesting eighth that finished with Davide Giugliano (Althea Racing Ducati) in front of BMW Motorrad's Leon Haslam, Liberty Racing Team Effenbert's Jakub Smrz, and Team Effenbert Liberty Racing's Sylvain Guintoli.
FIXI Crescent Suzuki's Leon Camier was 11th, while teammate John Hopkins finished just out of the points in 16th, the highest ranking American. Jake Holden rode the Grillini Progea BMW S 1000 RR to 18th, one spot up on Shane Turpin (Boulder Motorsports Ducati).
World Superbike Race Two Results:
1. Marco Melandri (BMW)
2. Jonathan Rea (Honda)
3. Max Biaggi (Aprilia)

Pilgrim Lowry is pleased to renew acquaintances with former club
Posted: November 24, 2012|
It will be reunion time for Plymouth Argyle midfielder Jamie Lowry when Chesterfield visit Home Park today.
Lowry spent nine years with Chesterfield, from the age of 16, until leaving the Derbyshire club in the summer. He was snapped up by Argyle as a free agent in July, but has remained in contact with several of his former team-mates.
Chesterfield were relegated from npower League One last season and were expected to challenge for an immediate return this term. However, they made a poor start to the League Two campaign, which led to the departure of manager John Sheridan and the installation of Tommy Wright as caretaker boss.
Chesterfield's results continued to be erratic, though, and Accrington Stanley manager Paul Cook was poached by the Spireites late last month.
Lowry said: "I was there a long time and I still have a lot of good friends at the club. I speak to them quite regularly.
"With what has been going on up there, they have kept me in the know. I have a lot of good laughs with them."
Chesterfield are coming off back-to-back home wins against Oxford United (2-1) last Saturday and Cheltenham Town (4-1) on Tuesday. Lowry said: "They have picked up a few decent results lately. They have had a new manager come in and the lads said he's working them hard and they are really impressed with him.
"They are on the turnaround from the poor start they had, so it's going to be a tough game for us. I expect them to be in our faces and that it will be played at a high tempo."
Lowry attended some of Argyle's development centres as a schoolboy but he never made it to the club's Centre of Excellence at Ivybridge.
Argyle's loss proved to be Chesterfield's gain, as he went on to make 111 starts and 16 substitute appearances at first-team level. Those numbers would have been higher had it not been for a cruciate knee ligament injury which kept him out from October 2009 to February 2011.
Lowry admitted it was a wrench to leave Chesterfield in the summer, but first-team opportunities had been limited for him after recovering from his knee injury, which led to a short loan spell with Crewe Alexandra last term. He said: "It was quite tough to leave, having been there all of my career, but I think the time was right anyway to move on.
"I wasn't playing regularly after my injury. I needed a few more games and it wasn't working out there."
Argyle have not won any of their last six League games, losing five of them, but Lowry believes their performances have deserved a better reward. He pointed to the 2-2 draw at home to table-topping Gillingham on November 10 as an example of that. Lowry said: "The performance was there against Gillingham and that's probably our benchmark now. We have to try to aim for that kind of performance consistently. But, at the end of the day, we want three points more than anything. We'll take that over a good performance."
Argyle manager Carl Fletcher will have to check on the fitness of several of his players before naming his team today. Midfielder Luke Young missed Tuesday's 1-0 loss at Bradford City due to a shoulder injury. Striker Rhys Griffiths has been ruled out of the past two matches by a hamstring injury but he has done some training this week, according to Fletcher.
The Pilgrims' boss also stated forwards Nick Chadwick and Alex MacDonald had sustained "impact injuries" against Bradford.
On-loan Aldershot Town striker Guy Madjo is in contention for a recall to the starting line-up after recovering from illness. He has been an unused substitute for the last three matches. Fletcher said: "He was ill for the majority of last week and missed training, but he's fine now."
Plymouth Argyle (from): Gilmartin, Cole; Berry, Blanchard, Nelson, Bhasera, Lowry, Hourihane, Molesley, Lennox, Young, Gurrieri, Cowan-Hall, Feeney, Madjo, MacDonald, Chadwick, Griffiths, Lecointe, Richards, Harvey.
Doubtful: Griffiths (hamstring), Young (shoulder), Chadwick, MacDonald.
Unavailable: Purse (suspended), Wotton (back), Williams (stomach muscle).

'Hopefully we can lift the nation'
Fri, 09 Oct 2015 15:02:18 GMT
"IT'S just another
These are four words that sum up the attitude that has
defined David Jackson as one of Nottingham Rugby's greatest
Milestone moments are nothing new to
Nottingham's league appearance record holder who will bring up 300
games in green and white when he steps onto the field at the
Mennaye on Sunday afternoon.
These are the landmark moments that Jackson (pictured
above in his early years) simply says come with age.
And rather than pause and reflect on 299 games over nearly 12
years of first team rugby with Nottingham, it is what is yet to
come that drives the versatile back on.
"I've been part of Nottingham Rugby's past and I want to be part
of the future as well. I just want to keep playing.," Jackson
"I desperately want to be part of where we are going, because we
are doing some really good things this year. I don't just want to
play one more game, I want to play lots more games and want to be
part of it for as long as I can or as long as I'm needed.
"I'm proud to have played this many games for the one club and
only that that I ever want to play for.
"It's nice, a good round number, but at the end of the day it is
exactly that - a number."
As far as the numbers game goes, Jackson is on the cusp of a
rare double this weekend, needing just two tries to reach the 100
For all his evasive tactics, the grandeur of celebrating a
double milestone is enough to stretch a smile across his face.
"It would be nice to get two tries against the Pirates," Jackson
"I've sneaked over for a couple this season already and I've
been working on my game pretty hard this season."
As the 14th Nottingham player to become a triple centurion,
Jackson distinguishes himself as a modern-day great of the East
Midlands club by joining the likes of former England internationals
Gary Rees and Simon Hodgkinson in the select group.
Jackson is the first player in more than decade reach the
milestone. The last to do so was Martin Freer who played his 354th
and final game in April 2001. Heading the list, with an appearance
record that is unlikely to be beaten, is Bob Pruden, who featured
430 times for the club between 1949 and 1972.
Jackson is in awe of Nottingham elite that he joins in
the 300 Club.
"You look at those guys and their appearances and you appreciate
the club's amazing history and those who have played for the Green
and Whites," Jackson said.

The five thousand robust fans who came to Barton on Friday evening to watch Sale v Saints, were not only talking about the return of John Mitchell to take up his new role of Director of Rugby, but were debating whether the game was going to take place or not, due to the blanket of pea soup that had encased the ground!
As we took our usual position in the Wellspring Stand we could only just make out the outline of the opposite stand ans the visiting Saints team warming-up, were ghost-like figures in the distance. It was going to be an interesting game in more ways than one, if only we could see what was going on at the other end of pitch.
The game started with both teams using the fog as an ally with lots of high kicks between the two teams. Unfortunately Sale started the game the way they ended the Glaws match the previous weekend.
A few early penalties for each side from Ryan Lamb and Nick Macleod (who replaced the ill Danny Cipriani) kept the score at 3-3.
However, Sale were a try down on 18 minutes, when winger Jamie Elliott found the try line through the fog, the extra points duly converted by Lamb. Five minutes later, and what looked like a runaway tank, came tumbling out of the mist and Soane Tonga'uiha headed for the line.
When we could see some action from the other end of pitch it was the outline of a returning Richie Gray from international duty with Scotland and Andy Powell's attempted drop goal which unfortunately failed.
There were many ironic cheers & plenty of sarcastic comments that included, "keep the ball at the other end so we can't see what's going on" from the restless, disgruntled fans stood frozen in the Wellsprings Stand.
A few minutes before half time, a Sale pass was intercepted by Tom May and he headed towards the line, ignoring the cries from the surrounding fog shouting "you're running the wrong way!".
The only Sale highlight of the 1st half was a thunderous tackle by Sammy T on a Saints player, which must have left him thinking he was in Narnia!
Still, too many penalties were given away at scrums and line-outs from Sale, and everyone was thinking, "here we go again". Half-time and the score was Sale 3 - Saints 27.
With Mitchell's comments earlier in the week of the team "needing to create more pressure" and some players needed tp "to increase their desire", we all hoped that Sale would come out fighting in the second half and fortunately, they did.
Rob Miller scored a great try 4mins after the re-start and this time it was Sale making all the right moves.
A Macleod penalty conversion moved us closer, but old bad habits die hard and more penalties at scrums, stalled Sale's momentum.
During a bit of a lull in play, a few renditions of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" were aired, bringing looks of bemusement from the under 20s. The 30+ somethings amongst us replied to their younger counterparts to "Google it son", or "we'll find it on dvd so you can watch it". You need a sense of irony watching the current Sale side and a bit of Monty Python humour appears to counterpart well.
A penalty for the Sharks broke up the steady influx of subs from both teams.
As the clock neared the full eighty minutes, a lineout on the right hand side resulted in a Sale scrum drive for the line and it was Tommy Taylor who was credited with placing the ball over the line.
Not to miss out on the train coming out of the fog, Cobilas made a run for the line just before the end, but came up short.
The final score was Sharks 16 - Saints 27.
At least we scored all the points in the second half, but the game had gone away at half-time. Sale need to start making Barton a fortress if we are to survive in the Aviva Premiership.
Personally, stability and a fighting spirit are what we need. Maybe we could put it on our Christmas lists!

Steam Car Cleaning
Steam car wash is the process of using steam vapor to clean a car's exterior and interior. For decades, steam has been a critical component of the cleaning industry, due to its effectiveness and sterilizing power.
Today, steam is being applied to the car wash industry.
A steam cleaning car wash uses a steam jet to wash and clean the car's exterior and interior. The steam jet is completely safe and can be used on all car surfaces, giving a perfect exterior finish without any spots or streaking. And when it comes to the interior, not only do they clean thoroughly, they also sanitize and deodorize too!
Why use steam for car cleaning?
Car cleaning with steam
Car cleaning interior + exterior
The Benefits of the Alpina Steam Car Cleaning System
1. Quick start - It takes only 60 seconds from a cold start before the steamer is ready to be used on the car!
5. Higher operating pressure - The operating pressure exceeds the conventional upper limits, meaning cars and other objects receive a deeper, more thorough clean.

NEW DELHI - Women share the blame for a spate of rapes in India, a female politician from India's ruling coalition said, sparking outrage across the country on Wednesday.
Asha Mirje, a provincial leader from the Nationalist Congress Party, suggested that women sometimes invite the crimes.
"Rapes take place also because of a woman's clothes, her behaviour and her being at inappropriate places," Mirje told a women's gathering in central Nagpur city Tuesday, in comments broadcast on NDTV news channel.
"We (women) have to be careful. We have to ask ourselves, where am I going, with whom am I going, what am I going for, do I really need to go to that place."
Referring to a fatal Dec 2012 gang rape in Delhi and last year's gang rape of a photojournalist in Mumbai, Mirje questioned why the women were out late in the evening.
"Did Nirbhaya (a name given to the Delhi rape victim) really have to go to watch a movie at 11 in the night with her friend? Take the Shakti Mills gang-rape case: why did (she) go to such an isolated spot at 6pm?" said Mirje, who is a member of the Maharashtra state women's rights commission.
Mirje later apologised, but her comments drew condemnation and protests from women and activists in India.
The remarks came at a time when India has had several high-profile sex crimes including rapes of foreign tourists.
The crimes prompted the government to announce stricter punishments, but there are doubts about whether it has a deterrent effect.
