Mystery of Delhi's Iron Pillar unraveled
Press Trust Of India
Thursday, July 18, 2002
New Delhi, July 18: Experts at the Indian Instituteof Technology have resolved the mystery behind the 1,600-year-old iron pillar in Delhi, which has never corroded despite the capital's harsh weather.
Metallurgists at Kanpur IIT have discovered that a thin layer of "misawite", a compound of iron, oxygen and hydrogen, has protected the cast iron pillar from rust.
The protective film took form within three years after erection of the pillar and has been growing ever so slowly since then. After 1,600 years, the film has grown just one-twentieth of a millimeter thick, according to R. Balasubramaniam of the IIT.
In a report published in the journal Current Science Balasubramanian says, the protective film was formed catalytically by the presence of high amounts of phosphorous in the ironas much as one per cent against less than 0.05 per cent in today's iron.
The high phosphorous content is a result of the unique iron-making process practiced by ancient Indians, who reduced iron ore into steel in one step by mixing it with charcoal.
Modern blast furnaces, on the other hand, use limestone in place of charcoal yielding molten slag and pig iron that is later converted into steel. In the modern process most phosphorous is carried away by the slag.
The pillarover seven metres high and weighing more than six tonneswas erected by Kumara Gupta of Gupta dynasty that ruled northern India in AD 320-540.
Stating that the pillar is "a living testimony to the skill of metallurgists of ancient India", Balasubramaniam said the "kinetic scheme" that his group developed for predicting growth of the protective film may be useful for modeling long-term corrosion behaviour of containers for nuclear storage applications.
They don't make 'em like they used to.
And this today:
More research needed on Delhi Iron Pillar: experts:
[India News]: New Delhi, Mar 13
The Delhi Iron Pillar, which has withstood corrosion for over 1,600 years, continues to attract the attention of archaeologists and scientists who want to undertake a systematic study to unfold the secret behind its strength.
A panel of scientists from across the country has recommended that the Government allow research on the pillar, a symbol of Indian metallurgical excellence, to ascertain its age, as well as for conservation of its underground part and the passive film that has preserved it through the ages.
"The Archaeological Survey of India has agreed to allow the use of well-established non-invasive techniques to ascertain as to when was the pillar built and its material aspects. But the efficacy of the techniques should be established by testing other ancient iron objects such as Iron Pillar at Dhar and Iron Beams at Konark," Director, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Dr Baldev Raj, who was a member of the panel that made the recommendations, said.
The panel had gathered here to review the status of scientific research on the pillar and make recommendations to the Government to initiate systematic scientific studies to gain more information about it.
Earlier studies, beginning in 1961, have thrown some light on the composition and the microstructure of the "rustless wonder", but difference versions exist on the scientific dating of the pillar, Professor R Balasubramaniam, a scientist at IIT Kanpur who has conducted extensive research on the pillar, said. PTI
Good Lord, this technology has been around for over 1600 years? To think how much rust proof steel could have saved in money, time, and labor. Staggering.
This is not a union friendly material.
I have a photo of the iron pillar from my visit to Delhi but don't know how to post it.
"Good Lord, this technology has been around for over 1600 years? To think how much rust proof steel could have saved in money, time, and labor. Staggering."
I just thought the same thing - rust proof! All these years, the technology was lost. How many other secrets have been lost to us, and are just waiting to be rediscovered?
Not hard to understand. The phosphorous that caused the beneficial reaction (probably electrochemical to produce the necessary hydrogen--but the article doesn't say--consider that "chemical speculation") is distributed uniformly throughout the iron matrix due to the way the iron was made. The film will only form on the surface exposed to moisture and oxygen, which is only (but everywhere) on the surface of the entire pillar from top to bottom.
I did a search and found some pictures of it.
The above article is from corrosion-doctors.org website and gives more details about the pillar and the theories about why it's not corroded.
My Granddad passed away last year at age 98. He was at turns a foundry worker, machinist, master patternmaker and coremaker. He claimed that the "old timers" (folks who were 50 or so in the 1920s) told him that there had once been a process to harden copper so as to use it for tools, etc.
One wonders if the ancient Egyptians (who used copper tools to cut the stone used in the Pyramids) knew of this process.
There was probably a scroll or three on this in the Great Library of Alexandira before it was destroyed.
Before everyone goes all ga-ga over the skill of the ancients, consider this. The reason that phosphorous is eliminated by modern metallurgical process is that it causes the iron to be exceedingly brittle, thus rendering it unsuitable for use as a structural material or say a cannon barrel. Perfectly acceptable for a decorative column or ballast weight however.
I once owned a copper bladed knife made by the Dawson Hardened Cooper Cutlery Co. I think they were in business in the 20s.
The knife turned out to be valuable once it left my hands.
Rome concurred the world with bronze swords. Iron still beat the heck out of bronze when it became generally available. If you need to harden copper, it may be alloyed w/ beryllium, which also makes the material "non-sparking". A very useful characteristic in some circumstances.
Forget the details, where can I get lawn furniture made from this iron?
And, will continue to grow at a decreasing rate as less iron is exposed to the ambient oxygen.
Again, too many details! I have but one question. Can it be put to use as lawn furniture!?!? ;)
And Parkerizing is the formation of basic iron phosphate on a surface to protect it from rusting. Not very "New", but loading the iron with phosphorous and leaving it in the rain is a tedious way to do it. Plus, as you say, the physical properties of the iron would be horrible.
FYI: The oldest bronze smeltering site in the world is in Thailand.
And that, sir, is why you're such a fine wizard.
Of course, had our ancient Indian metalmen been more patient, and added the charcoal somewhat later in the process, they'd have gotten steel....
Yes, but rust greatly helps to enhance 'planned obsolescence'. The economy would take a deep dive if our cars didn't rust or wear out. sarcasm/off
agreed - but isnt beryllium nasty stuff ?
US Steel has been producing "non-rusting" steel for years for structural purposes. The process involves a stable corrosion that turns the surface a deep brown and doesn't need painting. Some provisional needs for run off stain though as it does "bleed" some with rain. A good percentage of highway bridge beams are made of it. Look for it.. : USA is no. 1..
Cold rust bluing, which is a process applied to gun metal, works on a similar principle. Essentially, it is a fixed film of corrosion that prevents further rust from forming. Parkerization (used on Garand M1s) used a phosphate based process to achieve similar result.
uh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh, he said "erection"....
Keep in mind that this is not a casting but a forging
weighing 6.5 tons.
The skill level is amazing, I have had an interest in the
Pillar for over thirty years as a blacksmith.
That probably should read "removed the charcoal."
Cast iron is about 3 1/2% carbon, high carbon steel is about 1% carbon, mild steel is 0.2% carbon or less.
The iron pillar has longevity in spite of the high amount of phosphorus in the iron because it is loaded in compression instead of tension where the brittleness will show up.
Probably. That depends on the permeability of the film to oxygen. Some films are very impermeable (oxides of aluminum and titanium). Some are less impermeable (other iron oxides, copper oxide, and the like).
From the situation, I'd guess that this particular film is one of the highly impermeable ones.
Yup---VERY toxic.
I think you're talking about Cor-Ten steel. This steel is alloyed a little bit to make a rust stain that is supposed to be protective. However, this stuff hasn't always worked as well as planned. In some places, the local atmosphere is too aggressive for the steel, and the film isn't protective. Instead, the steel just keeps making a fine rust that falls from every surface and covers everyone and everything underneath.
Oh...It's right next to the Leaning Tower of Pizza...I'd wondered where it was at...
Thanks Blam, will add it to the GGG catalog. Welcome to RightOnTheLeftCoast.

Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
Every steel surface is coated with a layer of iron, oxygen, and hyrdogen. Rust is nothing but iron, oxygen, and hydrogen. Some of the iron oxides and hydroxides are more protective than others. Apparently, the phosphorus in this steel caused the surface to be coated with one of the more protective minerals.
It will be interesting to see whether the corrosion performance of this piece changes with time. If India gets enough industry to get a little acid rain, the whole surface could become active and start corroding rapidly in a very short period of time.
"The skill level is amazing, I have had an interest in the
Pillar for over thirty years as a blacksmith."
I started forging knives when I was 16 and until I moved to Colorado I had a nice forge. Can't do it in this subdivision I live in now. Have you ever been to the Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, Tn?
Maybe you should inform US Steel (Now USX) about it. People in Pittsburgh, PA should be warned that the USX Corporate Headquarters skyscraper, downtown, is an enviornmental hazard since it is primarily constructed of the stuf.. :)
I believe they called it Core 10 steel.
I cook with cast iron. My biceps are large, too.
. Have you ever been to the Ornamental Metal Museum in Memphis, Tn?
Yes, several times, went to see Jim Wallace.
I got my start from knowing Alex Bealer, a great guy
and the man who did the most to bring blacksmithing
back in this country.
I helped found ABANA, and was a member of Tullie Smith
Blacksmith Guild and the Alabama Forge Council.
I did some knife making a long time ago, do you know
Jim Batson, Cleston Sinyard?
Went to the knife show here in Atlanta last year, sure
are some talented folks doing great work now.
Thanx for the info.Phosphorus is the key.I've heard of this pillar before,and the non-corrosive properties were mentioned but no explanation as to why.Mystery solved.
Me too [*LOL*].
If I remember the stories correctly, the people were fully aware of the problem because they had this stuff raining on them continually. I think that the company eventually put a clear coating over the exposed Cor-Ten. The coating made the steel appear to be just what was orginally designed, but it prevented further oxidation and the subsequent rain of rust particles.
I got a similiar story from my father. He was a coal miner. He said that he once had a copper coal chisel that had been made by a Cherokee Indian miner. He told me that the process had involved p*ssing on it during the tempering process.

Fratelli Brovia Barolo Villero 2007
Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
A classic powerful and full-bodied wine from a historical vineyard of Castiglione Falletto. The color is intense ruby red with a light presence of orange reflections. The smell is elegant, intense, pleasant, balanced and with a hint of withered roses, plums, minerals, tobacco, liquorice, smoke and leather. The taste is full bodied, balanced and velvety, with a huge structure and a very long finish.
The traditional combinations are, definitely, with game or red meat dishes. The balance of this Barolo makes it very suitable as a "meditation wine" to savour while eating grissini or small slices of toasted bread.
100% Nebbiolo
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "The 2007 Barolo Villero is all flowers, rose petals, spices and bright red fruit. This soft, sensual Barolo is laced with exquisite finesse to match its classy, poised personality. It is pure seduction. The 2007 is drinking well for such a young wine. It is already a touch forward and I don't expect it will be especially long-lived by Brovia standards. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025."
International Wine Cellar - "Medium red, less dark than the Rocche. Very ripe aromas of cherry, raspberry, marzipan, anise and dried flowers. Full, thick and sweet, showing much more baby fat than the 2008 version. Impressively fresh and long on the back end, with very suave tannins and captivating medicinal and wild mint notes. For all its thickness of texture, this is every bit as much Villero as it is vintage 2007. Sexy already but will be better with extended aging."
Fratelli Brovia Winery
L'azienda Brovia is a traditional Piemontese family winegrowing estate. Giacinto Brovia began making wine there in 1863 followed by his son Antonio. Phylloxera, economic upheaval and finally the war interrupted production for almost 30 years. In 1953 Giacinto, Raffaele and Marina were old enough to take over the farm and resume winemaking. Family involvement doesn't end there however, after earning their oenology degrees, daughters Elena and Cristina have chosen to join their parents as well.
Grandfather Giacinto was a wise man and chose some of the best sites in the region for his vineyards. Brovia owns land in the best "cru" of Piedmont such as Rocche, Villero and Garblét Sue. These different vineyard plots represent a range of soil types, from heavier clay to direr limestone. The Brovias are extremely conscientious winegrowers and the accumulated experience of generations means that they know the characteristics of each of their vineyards, if not of each of the individual vines, and the wines that come from them. Nevertheless, they perform soil analyses every two years to ensure that the elements are in equilibrium for the vines to produce high quality grapes. Pruning is done with care and clusters are thinned again in the summer. Harvest is done entirely by hand and usually begins in late September with the Dolcetto, Arneis and Barbera, the Nebbiolo ripens later, near mid October.
Giancinto Brovia vinifies his wines in the classic style. Grapes are lightly crushed before going into the fermentation tanks. Fermentation generally lasts between 15 and 20 days at a temperature near 28 degrees Celsius for the Barolo, somewhat less for the other reds. the Barolo are aged for two years in "botti" made of Slavonian and French oak. The Dolcetto, Barbarseco and Barbera are aged mainly in stainless steel tanks, with a portion going into French oak barrels for 9 - 10 months. the Roero Arneis is vinified and aged in stainless steel. Brovia bottles his wines without filtration. View all Fratelli Brovia Wines
About Piedmont(PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

THE FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, A NOVEL. (original 2006; edition 2006)
by Alan. Furst
Work details
The Foreign Correspondent by Alan Furst (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Minimal plot but exceptional Resistance in Paris atmospherics.
Furst doing Furst. The quality of all Furst's books are very similar, very good. This time it's Carlo Weisz, the foreign correspondent, doing his spy thing in Paris and Berlin. A good read but I don't think it's his best.
Yet another book that causes me to lament the fact that genre fiction gets no respect. This is beautifully written, beautifully crafted and much more than a "spy novel."
The Foreign
Promised much, delivered little.
It felt a little like he was avoiding telling the story he should have, maybe even really wanted to. A huge missed opportunity, no matter how languid, evocative and well-written it was.
I'll give some of his others a go, but there's gonna have to be a dramatic improvement after this let-down.
Carlo Weisz is the foreign correspondent in question, a refugee from Trieste now covering the coming war for Reuters Paris. Weisz also is active in an Italian resistance group publishing Liberazione, a revived paper originally crushed by the Italian fascists, now smuggled into Italy, printed by sympathisers and distributed by hand. It becomes clear Mussolini's secret police, the OVRA, have targeted Liberazione and Weisz's group come under threat. Weisz, too, for reasons personal and patriotic, becomes involved in efforts to undermine the National Socialists, after renewing an affair with Christa Zameny, now married to a Prussian in Berlin. The narrative follows the threads of various activities, slowly revealing in miniature the overall clandestine efforts to oppose fascism in Europe 1938-39.
The familiar Furst study of Hitchcock's Everyman caught up in extreme circumstances, and as with Alfie's protagonists, the Everyman (and Woman) here is primer inter pares, not James Bond but clearly not a typical example of resourcefulness, personal initiative, or nerve. Nevertheless, Furst weaves an engaging history lesson amid the wide-ranging action, and invites meditation on the place of the individual in history.
The question arises: To what extent is the outcome of this war, of any war, influenced by these espionage efforts? Similar question with respect to individual efforts in battle, dilemma besetting individual soldiers when asked to defend a hopeless position or follow dubious orders, whether the war at large is steered one way or another. Suspect it cannot be answered in the individual case, but trusted that overall it can tip the balance. Layered on that: the personal meaning arising from one's choice to uphold personal ideals, translating principles into action, irrespective of the outcome.
Tempting to portray Furst as telling the same archetypal story repeatedly, in different guise and across various milieux. It is comforting, and somehow fittingly realistic in that we know the overarching outcome, what is unknown are the particulars attending this or that person, one or another mission or event. Perhaps a restatement of the above question on individual efficacy.
The simple map as frontispiece finally made clear to me that the Arrondissements of Paris are arranged in a clockwise spiral, not concentric circles. The Brasserie Heininger awaits customers in the 4th.
...this time around Furst has produced a curiously inert book that is missing both the percussive drive of more commercial spy novels and the fully realized characters of le Carré and Greene. It is an honest effort — Furst is too good a writer and too professional to offer anything less — and it has its pleasures, but they are served dutifully and without great vigor. No one will ask for a second helping of Carlo Weisz.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0812967976, Paperback)From Alan Furst, whom The New York Times calls "America's preeminent spy novelist," comes an epic story of romantic love, love of country, and love of freedom–the story of a secret war fought in elegant hotel bars and first-class railway cars, in the mountains of Spain and the backstreets of Berlin. It is an inspiring, thrilling saga of everyday people forced by their hearts' passion to fight in the war against tyranny.
By 1938, hundreds of Italian intellectuals, lawyers and journalists, university professors and scientists had escaped Mussolini's fascist government and taken refuge in Paris. There, amid the struggles of émigré life, they founded an Italian resistance, with an underground press that smuggled news and encouragement back to Italy. Fighting fascism with typewriters, they produced 512 clandestine newspapers. The Foreign Correspondent is their story.
Paris, a winter night in 1938: a murder/suicide at a discreet lovers' hotel. But this is no romantic traged–it is the work of the OVRA, Mussolini's fascist secret police, and is meant to eliminate the editor of Liberazione, a clandestine émigré newspaper. Carlo Weisz, who has fled from Trieste and secured a job as a foreign correspondent with the Reuters bureau, becomes the new editor.
Weisz is, at that moment, in Spain, reporting on the last campaign of the Spanish civil war. But as soon as he returns to Paris, he is pursued by the French Sûreté, by agents of the OVRA, and by officers of the British Secret Intelligence Service. In the desperate politics of Europe on the edge of war, a foreign correspondent is a pawn, worth surveillance, or blackmail, or murder.
The Foreign Correspondent is the story of Carlo Weisz and a handful of antifascists: the army officer known as "Colonel Ferrara," who fights for a lost cause in Spain; Arturo Salamone, the shrewd leader of a resistance group in Paris; and Christa von Schirren, the woman who becomes the love of Weisz's life, herself involved in a doomed resistance underground in Berlin.
The Foreign Correspondent is Alan Furst at his absolute best–taut and powerful, enigmatic and romantic, with sharp, seductive writing that takes the reader through darkness and intrigue to a spectacular denouement.
From the Hardcover edition.

Did Rick Pitino flip off Kentucky fans? (Video)
Video emerged after Kentucky's 75-73 victory over Louisville that purportedly shows Rick Pitino flipping off Kentucky fans.
Video emerged after Kentucky's 75-73 victory over Louisville that purportedly shows Rick Pitino flipping off Kentucky fans.
One of the biggest questions about the Louisville Cardinals sex scandal is whether Rick Pitino had any knowledge of the sex parties.
Rick Pitino is denying any and all knowledge of the stripper and sex parties his Louisville Cardinals program is accused of running, and he is putting the onus on former staff member Andre McGee.
The NBA Draft is on Thursday. And while it's anyone's guess at this point who will end up where, one thing is for sure.
Rick Pitino was proud of his team for beating UC Irvine on Friday in the first round of the NCAA Tournament despite a scare, but he's not delusional about his squad's abilities.
Kentucky is an awesome, historically-good college basketball team, and nobody may be higher on them than Rick Pitino.
Rick Pitino was very disappointed after Louisville was bounced from the ACC Tournament on Thursday at the hands of a 70-60 loss to North Carolina, so he decided to take it out on a student reporter.
Louisville defeated Savannah State on Monday night in a game that looked like it featured a Division-1 NCAA team playing a local high school. The final score was 87-26.

I agree, $60 is probably tops for the next 12 months. Might change my mind if there was some serious insider buying going on, but haven't seen any of that for several years..... nothing but managers cashing in their stock options over the last few years.
smart person because as ca. revs. continue to flatten and operating/loss ratio expenses outside of ca. remain in the high 90 percent range, earnings will most likely remain flat for the forseeable future....a PE of 12 for this stock is equitable.

Falcons WR Roddy White said after Sunday's loss to the Saints that the Falcons beat themselves. No, Roddy, the Saints beat the Falcons. That's what happened, and that is how plenty of fans saw it, too, shown by their responses in this Wendy's Rapid Reactions segment.This video is no longer available.

PFT Live: The Falcons beat themselves? Uh…no
DeAndre Hopkins not frustrated by Texans offense
Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler said Wednesday that nothing has changed for the team's offense because of the loss of defensive end J.J. Watt to another back injury and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins agrees with that assessment.
Hopkins said that the offense is "going to go out there and do what we do" regardless of the situation on the other side of the ball. That hasn't always been a good thing this season, however.
The Texans were shutout their last time out of the gate and they're scoring 14 points a game overall while the passing game ranks 27th with 214.7 yards per game. That's down from last season as are Hopkins' individual numbers, but the wideout says that's not a cause for frustration.
"No, it's not frustrating at all," Hopkins said, via the Houston Chronicle. "The team's success, for me, comes first and all the accolades come after that. So, whatever I have to do, if it's me drawing a double team, that means one of my other teammates are open. That's not on the stat book, drawing a double team — people just see touchdowns — but, to me, my team's success comes first."
The Texans came into this season with hopes that their offense would carry more weight than it did last season. Whether it is going through Hopkins or someone else, there's still work to do to realize that hope.
Colts distinctly remember the last time they played the Jaguars
The good news for the Colts may be that they're playing the Jaguars in London this weekend.
Because the last time they saw them in Florida, the Jaguars gave them an embarrassing 51-16 beating.
The Jaguars poured it on that day, converting a fourth-and-goal from the 1 inside the two-minute warning as their fans chanted "We want 50!"
"Think I forgot?" Colts safety Mike Adams said, via Mike Wells of ESPN.com. "I'm not sugar coating anything. Fifty! Fifty! We talked about that. It is what it is. It's the NFL. . . .
"We were in the position to set ourselves up in the division. That's what makes it hard. Obviously that game, I didn't even watch all of it. Just a little bit to recap."
That was the game that ended a 16-game AFC South winning streak for the Colts, and part of a two-game stretch in which they lost by 35 points.
Of course, there are plenty of differences since then, specifically the return of quarterback Andrew Luck, who has five straight wins over the Jaguars.
Terrelle Pryor thinks the Browns can go 13-3
Terrelle Pryor has emerged as one of the few bright spots on the Browns this season, becoming their No. 1 receiver while also taking some snaps at quarterback. And now we know something else about Pryor: His optimism is boundless.
Pryor said this week that despite the Browns' 0-3 start, he thinks they're a good enough team to win every remaining game and finish 13-3.
"We're so close to getting over that hump," Pryor said. "Once we get over that hump, I think we're going to have a lot of success, even this year. . . . I think we can win all the rest of the games. It depends on our mindset. It depends on how we look at it. It's just one week at a time."
Is that realistic? No. Is it understandable that Pryor has that mindset? Yes. His confidence in himself has paid off, even if his confidence in his team may be just a bit too high.
Elvis Dumervil says he's playing Sunday
Ravens linebacker Elvis Dumervil returned to practice last week, but sat out Friday's session and remained inactive for Baltimore's 19-17 victory over the Jaguars.
It looks like his surgically-repaired foot is ready to take the final step, however. Teammate Terrell Suggs said Wednesday that he expects to have Dumervil in the lineup against the Raiders this Sunday and Thursday brought the word straight from Dumervil's mouth.
Dumervil told reporters that he'll make his 2016 debut this weekend.
"I'm excited to get in front of our fans," Dumervil said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com.
Albert McClellan has been starting in place of Dumervil over the first three weeks and Za'Darius Smith has also played a significant number of snaps. Dumervil should be back in his usual spot with the first team, but working him back in will likely leave time for the others to continue seeing the field.
Why is TV viewership down?
Fewer people are watching the NFL on TV, and no one really knows why.
The NFL Players Association admits that the trend is an obvious concern. The league has kept quiet, likely fearful that talking about the situation would lend credence to the dynamic, possibly causing other fans who are still watching the games to say, "Maybe I should stop, too."
The decline has become a mystery, for the media and surely for the NFL. The league's failure to discipline more aggressively players who have engaged in off-field misconduct possibly has turned off some fans. A perception that the league reacts too heavy-handedly in other matters (like #DeflateGate and the Saints bounty scandal) could cause others to think the NFL hopes to steer certain teams toward success and to make it harder for others to succeed.
These two dynamics have contributed to an intense sense of disdain by plenty of fans for Commissioner Roger Goodell. It's odd, however, to think that fans are choosing not to watch the NFL on TV because they don't care for the man whose name appears on the football. (That said, it's likely no accident that Goodell largely stays out of view.)
The disconnect between the images televised across the country in high definition and the things seen by the naked eye in real time by seven officials interspersed with young, strong, large, fast men in armor remains a far bigger problem than the league office ever would admit. The NFL seems to have a general reluctance to fully embrace technology in order to get the calls right. At some point, however, the league must take more seriously the impact of fan frustrations arising from the sense that what everyone else sees is missed by the small group of people whose vantage point is the most important.
The ongoing desire to expand the NFL's reach to other countries likely alienates some fans as well, given the potential belief that the league is taking the domestic audience for granted as it tries to spread the pro football virus around the globe. The mere mention of, for example, an international franchise or a Super Bowl played beyond borders of the U.S. sparks a strong negative reaction from plenty of fans.
Meanwhile, viewing habits have changed, dramatically. The younger generation no longer congregates around a large box; they carry small ones everywhere they go, constantly staring at them like zombies peering in to a sardine can full of brains. Many members of Generation Z don't feel compelled to take the time to witness the flow of a game, the shifts in momentum, the nuances that set the stage for game-changing moments in the fourth quarter. They just want the highlights and the stats, so that they can see how their favorite team and, perhaps more importantly, their fantasy team performed.
Speaking of fantasy football, consider the perspective of kids who were born after the rise of what once was a collateral consideration to traditional rooting interests. With the pieces of a fantasy team spread over various NFL franchises, plenty of fans may not have the same zeal about one specific team, with the us-against-the-world mindset inherent to pre-fantasy fans fully undermined by the reality that, for example, an ardent Panthers fan may have Saints quarterback Drew Brees on his fantasy team.
Some would say the election is a factor, but if anything the political consternation should be causing people to more fervently embrace their diversions. Apart from the conflicts between prime-time games and two of the presidential debates, fans should be regarding NFL games as an escape from the political nonsense.
The quality of the early-season matchups could be an issue, due in large part to a lesser number of star players on great teams. Peyton Manning has retired, Tom Brady is suspended (his team nevertheless had two of its first three games televised nationally), and some of the best quarterbacks remain largely unknown and/or unaccomplished.
The concussion crisis, and the reality that football has become the pin cushion for criticism even though plenty of sports and other activities entail a risk of head injuries, likely has caused some fans to feel guilty about watching or enjoying football. In turn, the league's efforts to make the game safer probably has influenced others who want big hits and who don't care about the physical consequences to lose interest.
Some are suggesting that the anthem protests are causing fans to boycott the NFL, but it's hard to see a connection between the objections to the behavior of a small group of players and the decision of significant numbers of fans to deprive themselves of something they enjoy. The NFL has made its position on the anthem clear, and the vast majority of players continue to stand at attention.
Even with the decline, nothing brings a live audience together like the NFL (except for The Walking Dead). But it's clear the NFL has reason to worry, and that it has work to do. A more aggressive and creating marketing push could be needed, along with a willingness to consider significant changes to the rules and the officiating procedures.
Whatever the reasons, and there surely are many, the NFL has billions of reasons to figure them out — and to begin the process of addressing the problem. Publicly ignoring the issue is fine. If they're privately paying no attention to it, the league will be in or a rude awakening when the time comes to negotiate the next set of TV deals.
Giants down to two healthy safeties
The Giants have been no stranger to injury issues in the secondary in recent years and it looks like they haven't been able to shake the trend in Ben McAdoo's first year as the head coach.
Safety Nat Berhe made an appearance on Thursday's injury report with a concussion. The team said that Berhe, who played the entire game last Sunday, reported having a headache on Wednesday and was placed in the concussion protocol after being evaluated by the medical staff.
Berhe joins Darian Thompson on the sideline and Thompson is expected to miss more time as a result of a foot injury. That leaves the team with Landon Collins and Andrew Adams as healthy safeties a few days before a Monday night game against the Vikings.
Veteran corner Leon Hall could be an option to alleviate the issue of missing players, although they may need him at his usual spot with both Dominique Rodgers-Cromarite and Eli Apple dealing with injuries. According to multiple reports, both players were working on the side during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media.
Bengals activate Burfict, cut Roach
The Bengals released linebacker Trevor Roach Thursday, officially clearing a spot for linebacker Vontaze Burfict to be activated and play in Thursday night's game vs. the Dolphins.
Burfict was suspended for the first three games for repeated violations of on-field rules.
Though Bengals coach Marvin Lewis has said he isn't sure how much Burfict will play right away and has hinted that he'll be eased in slowly, Burfict said this week he's "raring to go" and anxious to be back with his teammates.
Roach, a second-year player, had played in all three games this season.
Garrett on Dez: He didn't handle things the right way
Word broke on Wednesday night that the Cowboys fined wide receiver Dez Bryant for missing an MRI on his injured knee and team meetings earlier this week and coach Jason Garrett confirmed that report on Thursday.
Garrett said that Bryant missed the MRI on Monday and meetings the next two days, leading to the decision to penalize him for not being where he was supposed to be. Garrett cited Bryant's thought the results of the MRI would be worse than the hairline fracture that was ultimately diagnosed as the reason for the missed test.
"He's a very, very passionate person," Garrett said, via Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News. "He's an emotional person. He didn't handle it the right way. I'm not excusing his behavior. There are repercussions for your actions."
While Bryant was wrong to take the no news is good news approach to finding out what was going on with his knee, the better-case scenario doesn't mean he'll be able to face the 49ers this weekend.
A report indicates Bryant could miss up to three weeks as a result of the injury, although Garrett would only say that the team doesn't expect him to practice on Thursday and that he's "moving better and better."
Dirk Koetter won't be getting involved in the Tampa defense
Most NFL head coaches get their jobs after becoming proficient as coordinators on offense or defense. Those coaches typically continue to focus on what they know, and to hand the other side of the ball to a skilled coordinator.
That's what Andy Reid has done for nearly 20 years, in Philadelphia and Kansas City. It's what Doug Pederson is now doing in Philly. It's also what Dirk Koetter is doing in Tampa. Even though the Buccaneers' defense is struggling a bit, Koetter has no plans to get involved in it, with the Broncos coming to town.
"[Defensive coordinator Mike Smith] and the defensive staff, they know what they're doing," Koetter told JoeBucsFan.com. "If I go in there, I'll just screw 'em up. . . . As far as scheme, those guys know what they're doing."
It's somewhat surprising that so many head coaches take a hands off approach to an entire side of the ball, especially since offensive gurus surely know a thing or two about what does and doesn't work defensively, and vice versa. Still, if it works, it doesn't matter. If, however, the person to whom half the fate of the team is delegated can't get it done, it will be hard for the head coach to avoid returning to his coordinator role, with another team.
Jets bring back kick returner Jeremy Ross
The Jets won't have rookie Jalin Marshall for at least the next couple of weeks as he recovers from a shoulder injury and that means they need someone else to serve as their kick returner.
They addressed that need on Thursday by re-signing Jeremy Ross, who spent training camp and the preseason with the club before being released. Ross had four punt returns for 48 yards and two kickoff returns for 66 yards during the preseason.
Marshall has flashed potential as a kick returner, but he's also had issues holding onto the ball in the first three weeks. He has had fumbles returned for touchdowns in each of the last two weeks, including one on a kickoff against the Chiefs last week that helped send the Jets to a 24-3 loss.
Ross has played for the Packers, Lions, Raiders and Ravens over the last four seasons and returned a kickoff for a touchdown while with Detroit in 2013.
The Jets placed defensive lineman Lawrence Thomas on injured reserve to make room for Ross on the roster.
PFT's Week Four picks
It's harder then ever to predict the outcome of NFL games. Or maybe we just stink.
Regardless, MDS and I had a do-the-opposite 7-9 showing in Week Three. The putrid performances put MDS at 25-23 for the season, and yours truly at 24-24.
We'll try to improve (and likely fail) in Week Four, where we disagree on four of the 15 games. So check out the picks below. And assume that, as to each game, the opposite outcome is guaranteed.
Dolphins at Bengals
MDS's take: The Dolphins finally got a win on Sunday, but needing overtime at home to beat the Browns isn't inspiring. The Bengals should win comfortably.
MDS's pick: Bengals 28, Dolphins 14.
Florio's take: An early-season desperation game for a pair of teams trying to avoid falling to 1-3. Miami has played well enough to be undefeated. They play up and down to the level of competition, and with coach Adam Gase starting to strongly assert himself, the Dolphins could be ready to get everyone's attention, only a few days after nearly blowing it at home against the Browns.
Florio's pick: Dolphins 27, Bengals 20.
Colts at Jaguars
MDS's take: How does the NFL always manage to find bad games to send to London? The 1-2 Colts aren't exactly setting the world on fire, but the 0-3 Jaguars might be the worst team in the league through three weeks.
MDS's pick: Colts 24, Jaguars 13.
Florio's take: The NFL keeps exporting race-to-the-bottom matchups to England, even if this one wasn't supposed to be an early-season battle for the AFC South basement. The Jaguars scored 51 against the Colts last year, but that was against an Indy team that lacked Andrew Luck. So it'll be closer this time, but Blake Bortles and company should be able to find a way to get their first win of the season.
Florio's pick: Jaguars 31, Colts 27.
Titans at Texans
MDS's take: As bad as the Texans looked last week against the Patriots, and even without J.J. Watt, I still think their defense is good enough to shut down the Titans' "exotic smash mouth" attack.
MDS's pick: Texans 20, Titans 10.
Florio's take: The Texans can overcome not having J.J. Watt, at least against Tennessee. Against other teams, that may not be the case.
Florio's pick: Texans 24, Titans 17.
Browns at Washington
MDS's take: In the preseason, this game was circled as the return of Robert Griffin III. Now there's nothing much interesting about it, other than a good opportunity for Washington to improve to 2-2.
MDS's pick: Washington 21, Browns 13.
Florio's take: Left for dead at 0-2, Washington scratches and claws its way back to .500 against a Browns team that won't be a pushover.
Florio's pick: Washington 31, Browns 23.
Seahawks at Jets
MDS's take: The Seahawks' defense is great, as usual. The Jets' offense is a mess, with Ryan Fitzpatrick looking nothing like the solid passer he was last year. Seattle should win this easily.
MDS's pick: Seahawks 28, Jets 10.
Florio's take: The Jets had a "come to Jesus" meeting, but it's the Seahawks who are returning to their Garden of Eden, where they won Super Bowl XLVIII.
Florio's pick: Seahawks 23, Jets 20.
Bills at Patriots
MDS's take: Although I was impressed with the way Rex Ryan had his guys ready to play last week against the Cardinals, I wouldn't pick them to win at New England whether it's Tom Brady, Jimmy Garoppolo, Jacoby Brissett or Julian Edelman at quarterback.
MDS's pick: Patriots 22, Bills 9.
Florio's take: Jimmy Garoppolo, Jacoby Brissett, Julian Edelman, A.J. Derby, Drew Bledsoe, Tony Eason, Steve Grogan. It doesn't matter. With 10 days to get ready for the last game of the #DeflateGate suspension, Bill Belichick would win even with Stephen Gostkowski at quarterback.
Florio's pick: Patriots 24, Bills 10.
Panthers at Falcons
MDS's take: My eyes tell me the Falcons have been a better team than the Panthers this year. But my head tells me the Panthers are the better team, even if they haven't shown it. This feels like one of those games where I'm going to kick myself no matter which team I pick.
MDS's pick: Panthers 21, Falcons 20.
Florio's take: The Panthers have faced two championship-caliber defenses in three games. After Sunday, they will have faced two in four games.
Florio's pick: Panthers 37, Falcons 28.
Raiders at Ravens
MDS's take: The Ravens have a good defense and bad offense. The Raiders have a good offense and bad defense. Who wins? I'll go with the team with the better special teams.
MDS's pick: Ravens 24, Raiders 21.
Florio's take: The Ravens keep on finding ways to win, thanks to a very good defense and a good-enough offense. It won't be a Siragusa-on-Gannon flattening, but the Ravens will do just enough to emerge with the win.
Florio's pick: Ravens 17, Raiders 14.
Lions at Bears
MDS's take: The Lions have been fairly disappointing through three games, but the Bears are at a whole different level of disappointing.
MDS's pick: Lions 28, Bears 17.
Florio's take: This old-school black-and-blue division showdown will leave anyone who watches it needing a punch to the jaw to wake up.
Florio's pick: Bears 16, Lions 13.
Broncos at Buccaneers
MDS's take: That great Week One showing from Jameis Winston feels like a long time ago. The Broncos' defense is going to give Winston another rough game.
MDS's pick: Broncos 27, Buccaneers 14.
Florio's take: The first overall pick in 2015 squares off against a seventh-rounder. The seventh-rounder has a far better defense. Advantage, seventh-rounder.
Florio's pick: Broncos 28, Buccaneers 21.
Rams at Cardinals
MDS's take: This feels almost like a must-win game for the Cardinals, who would find themselves two games back and down a tiebreaker with a loss. I think Bruce Arians will have his team ready for a big game.
MDS's pick: Cardinals 31, Rams 10.
Florio's take: The up-and-down Cardinals find their groove for a week, until they lose it again for another week, as the Rams get back on their 7-9 pace.
Florio's pick: Cardinals 34, Rams 20.
Saints at Chargers
MDS's take: The Saints' defense remains a mess, and things won't get any easier against a Chargers offense that has looked pretty good with Philip Rivers throwing and Melvin Gordon running.
MDS's pick: Chargers 27, Saints 20.
Florio's take: Drew Brees returns to San Diego for likely the last time, regardless of whether the team moves. The spirit will be willing, but the defense will continue to be weak.
Florio's pick: Chargers 34, Saints 27.
Cowboys at 49ers
MDS's take: That 28-0 49ers win in Week One feels like it was from some alternate universe, because in the two weeks since then the 49ers have looked like they'd struggle to beat a college team by 28 points.
MDS's pick: Cowboys 20, 49ers 10.
Florio's take: No Romo, no Dez. No problem, for the 49ers — especially since coach Chip Kelly knows the Cowboys well after playing them six times in three years with the Eagles.
Florio's pick: 49ers 20, Cowboys 17.
Chiefs at Steelers
MDS's take: The Steelers took a serious beating in Philadelphia on Sunday but I don't think they can possibly look that bad two weeks in a row. They'll bounce back in a big way this week.
MDS's pick: Steelers 24, Chiefs 21.
Florio's take: Doug Pederson figured out how to shut down the Steelers. His mentor, Andy Reid, may not be thrilled about that, since Pittsburgh now has even greater reason to figure out how to get back on the right track.
Florio's pick: Steelers 31, Chiefs 21.
Giants at Vikings
MDS's take: If the Vikings' defense keeps playing the way it has through three weeks, they have a chance to be this year's Broncos, a team that can win a Super Bowl no matter who plays quarterback. The Vikings should improve to 4-0 on Monday night.
MDS's pick: Vikings 20, Giants 7.
Florio's take: Last year, the Vikings developed a reputation for failing to get it done in prime time. This year, with a great defense and excellent coaching, the Vikings will get it done no matter what time of day the games start.
Florio's pick: Vikings 27, Giants 20.
Dirk Koetter: We're throwing the ball too much
Through the first three weeks of the season, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston leads the NFL with 142 pass attempts and has been throwing the ball more often than any first- or second-year quarterback other than Drew Bledsoe.
Winston has also been sacked five times, scrambled three times and had other pass attempts wiped out by penalties to create further imbalance for a team that's run the ball 71 times. Head coach Dirk Koetter believes that needs to change in the coming weeks.
"In the last two games, we've thrown too much," Koetter said, via the Tampa Bay Times. "We've got to quit getting behind by two scores, and we need to run the ball better."
As Koetter noted, the Bucs have fallen behind in each of their last two games and gone to a pass-heavy attack as they tried to get back into losses to the Cardinals and Rams. They were more balanced in a Week One victory over the Falcons, lending support to the idea that more running will go hand in hand with better results for the team.
Getting that done would be easier with a healthy Doug Martin, who hurt his hamstring in Week Two and didn't play in Week Three. Martin didn't practice Wednesday, so the Bucs may need to find a way to get the run game working without him against a Broncos defense that's not easy to move the ball against under any circumstances.
Dustin Hopkins adds to weekly honors with monthly special teams award
Dustin Hopkins' last week was good enough, but being perfect for the season was enough for a bigger honor.
The Washington kicker was named NFC special teams player of the month, hitting 11-of-11 field goals in September.
He was player of the week after going 5-of-5 against the Giants last week, but was deserving over the two games before that as well.
His 11 field goals are the most in the league, and he's second in the league with 15 touchbacks. He's also hit all five of his extra points.
First-round prospect Tim Williams arrested on gun charge
Alabama linebacker Tim Williams, a likely first-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft, has been arrested on a gun charge.
Williams was arrested at 2 a.m. today on a misdemeanor charge of carrying a pistol without a license.
Police say they found the gun after approaching a vehicle in a parking lot because they could smell marijuana smoke coming out of it. According to police, Williams admitted that the gun is his. Another person in the car, not a football player, claimed responsibility for the marijuana.
Williams had 10.5 sacks last season and emerged as one of the best pass rushers in the country. He decided to return to Alabama for his senior season this year even though he said he was told he would have been a late first or early second-round pick if he had entered the 2016 draft. So far this season he has 1.5 sacks.
After he was released on $300 bond, Williams posted on Twitter, "Thank god a mistake worth learning from."
Carson Wentz wins rookie of the month honors
One month ago, the Eagles expected to keep quarterback Carson Wentz on the bench at least for September, if not longer. Then, Teddy Bridgewater suffered a knee injury, the Vikings traded for Sam Bradford, and Wentz became the starter.
He has made more than the most out of his opportunities, leading the Eagles to a 3-0 record and winning the NFL's offensive rookie of the month award for September.
Wentz has thrown 102 passes without an interception, and he's averaging 7.5 yards per attempt. His best game by far came against the Steelers, with a 74.2 completion percentage, 301 yards passing, and a passer rating of 125.9.
The Eagles traded up to draft Wentz, the player they hope will become their next franchise quarterback. The Browns have faced plenty of criticism after trading the pick that became Wentz, and the Rams have faced plenty of questions about the decision to trade up and take not Wentz but Jared Goff.
It's still too early to declare Wentz the next Donovan McNabb in Philly, but Wentz has passed every test he has faced, with the only knock being a propensity to get knocked around a little too much.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad announced a "major military operation" against anti-government protesters, calling them the "terrorists who threaten us," The Jerusalem Post reported Friday.
The report is based on a Thursday evening report in the Arabic-language al Quds newspaper.
Assad has now declared a state of war with a full mobilization of Syrian troops.
Troops have been tasked with the "elimination of [the] armed rebellion proclaimed by terrorist organizations against the civilian population and elements of the army and security forces for several months."
Meanwhile, anti-government protesters called on international human rights groups to send more observers to document the killing of civilians, al Jazeera reported.
Ahmad al-Khatib, spokesman for the Syrian Revolution General Commission, told Reuters the activists "are calling for international observers as a first step."
"If the regime refuses, it will open the door on itself for other actions, such as no-tank or no-fly zones," said al-Khatib, who put the number of civilian casualties at 3,000, with thousands more missing and in custody.
In an interview with al Jazeera aired on Thursday, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan -- once a close ally of Assad -- asked him, "Mr. Assad, how can you say you are killing terrorists when you were actually shelling Latakia from the sea and hitting civilian targets?"

Hoping for the best tonight against the full-strength Heat, rested and back at home. Sometimes teams are vulnerable in their first game back at home after a long road trip and maybe the Bucks can take advantage. Definitely much tougher schedule coming up with Chicago back-to-back, the Knicks, Spurs, etc. Anyway, does anyone know why Gooden has seen so little playing time? I thought he did well last year with his plantar fascia healed and at least could provide some extra offense from the forward position. Maybe his poor defense is keeping him out. I hope Ersan can snap out of his funk, and maybe Daniels can get some increased playing time too, he's a veteran who can also contribute. Games like tonight make me really with Mbah a Moute was healthy.

Brendan O'Connor: If only we had the weather...
Mid-Life Crisis
Published 23/06/2014 | 02:30
So apparently this would be a great country, if only we had the weather. And then we get the weather, and, true enough, it's a slightly better country. But with the weather comes the dawning realisation that even when we have the weather, we still have to go to work.
Irish people associate good weather with not going to work. That is because normally, when we encounter good weather we are abroad, on our holidays, and not at work. And normally, in the kind of places Irish people go on holidays abroad, no one seems to be doing any work. People sit around scratching their bellies and talk extravagantly to each other over little cups of coffee.
So we imagine that if we too were to have the weather we too would sit around not doing much apart from animatedly talking to each other. The country would be falling apart around us but we would dismiss it with a Mediterranean shrug. We wouldn't care because we had the weather.
But then the weather comes and we find that while it is lovely outside, we are mainly stuck inside at work. And then we start thinking dark, resentful thoughts about the weather. It is out there taunting us. As if it's not bad enough having to be at work, now there is suddenly a viable alternative, which is being outside, or at the beach. Then we get slightly jealous of people who don't have to go to work. We are walking around in the evening and there they are, sun-kissed and maybe slightly pissed, clearly having been sitting in their shorts for the day somewhere. Or we see them coming home after a long day's fishing, as we are trying to get out and get at least an hour of the evening sun.
You can tell that things are bad when you start fantasising about having that life of leisure. I even considered playing the Euromillions last week. My wife was a bit taken aback and tried to direct me towards the regular Lotto, but I pointed out to her that you need to win big when you win these things. The regular Lotto would be just enough money to cause trouble, but not enough to never work again and live high on the hog. By the time you would have shared your paltry million and change with all your grabby and expectant relatives, given a bit to some causes to ease your conscience, and then bought a house, you'd be back where you started except everyone would hate you.
With the Euromillions you could give everyone in your extended family a million each, dole out plenty to charity, and then, your conscience at rest, you could flit between houses all over the world, accompanied by an entourage of nannies, teachers, speech therapists, whatever you wanted. And most importantly, you would have serious fuck off' money. You would be hoarse from the amount of people you'd be able to tell to fuck off.
I recognise of course that the odds on the Euromillions aren't great so I do have a back-up plan. At some point I am going to spot the next big thing and know I'm spotting it. I spot the next big thing all the time. That's easy. The trick is to believe yourself. For example, I knew decades ago that Apple was special, from the first moment I clapped eyes on a PC. We were in on the ground floor with Apple at my school. But I only realised how fantastic Apples were when I saw the clunky alternative.
Since then I've spotted lots of next big things. Myself and a bunch of other guys tried to start a Storyful idea before Storyful did; I tried to get my monied friends to hoover up apartments in Grand Canal Dock when it was a wasteland a few years back. I could see that while it was temporarily down and out, it would one day be our Barcelona. Last year, I saw that Birkenstocks were about to have a moment. I even looked into buying them — the shares, not the sandals. But they are not for sale. And this summer I see that Birkenstocks are back again on the high-fashion catwalks. I also spotted Mulberry before they were stratospheric, though I see they overplayed their hand on jacking up their prices to luxury levels.
It's not too late yet. I'll find the next big thing soon enough. And then I will neither have the excuse of weather nor work for why life is not the fantasy it should be.

Beautiful leather, but...
By Dogma
from Undisclosed
I have been a loyal Levenger shopper over the years. I have loved the look of their products and the looks of the Notabilia notebook are not disappointing.The leather is the most beautiful color (eggplant) and is absolutely soft and supple. The pen loops are a new addition to the Notabilia notebook and are appreciated. All of that said, I have just a couple of concerns. The first is the lack of structure. Because the leather is so soft, the notebook lacks structure so it flops around and you can feel the inside seams while writing. It makes me consider sending the product back. The other disappointment is the notebook paper. The last time I purchased the Notabilia notebook the lined notebook was more of a narrow ruled paper and that suited me better. I have been using the grid paper more recently and that notebook is much better.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you. The Carezza line is comprised of soft, supple leather. It tends to be very flexible. I would recommend the standard Notabilia Notebook AL9030, which is a firmer leather. I will be happy to contact you and make it right.I will be more than happy to relay your comments about our Notabilia refills to our Product Development & Design Team for further review.

- Cliché Storm: But was written well enough to get away with it.
- Seinfeld Is Unfunny: While not the first (Doug arguably did it before), part of the clichés modern viewers would find were more because it's a late 90s - turn of the millennium show.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: In "Crunch Pod," after Nicky tries her best to act as peacekeeper between Pepper Ann and Milo, during their final battle in the video arcade Nicky finally draws the line. She unplugs the machines and angrily calls the two out for being a couple of overgrown babies:
Nicky: You two are best friends, and you better start ACTING LIKE IT!
- Pepper Ann and Milo then completely forget their rivalry out of concern for Nicky's behavior and take her out to help her calm down. It's at this point another moment of awesome occurs: the crowd turns on the arcade manager for how unsatisfying the match ended and demand their money back. This may seem like Disproportionate Retribution, but again, this guy pitted middle school students against each other in a petty grudge match and tried to make money off it.
- Nicky secretly led a protest campaign to make sure neither Pepper Ann or her hated rival Alice Kane got elected for student body president out of disgust for how they turned the whole election in a petty grudge match. Who did Nicky get elected? Mark Hamill. And after Nicky delivers a scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Pepper Ann and Alice Kane, even the principal agrees the two should be ashamed of themselves.
- Nicky once used reverse psychology to get Pepper Ann to appreciate being given the role of the Nurse in their school's production of Romeo and Juliet.
- Earworm:
- "Who's that girl? What's her name? Is she cool? Is she lame? Oh, you're talking about... What's her name? PEPPER ANN!"
- Any of the songs from the episode "You Oughta Be in Musicals!"
- Girl Show Ghetto: Managed to break out of it.
- Hilarious in Hindsight: In the episode "Old Best Friend", Pepper's friend Brenda claims that she doesn't like books because she thinks they're boring. Who voiced her, you ask? Tara Strong, who would later voice a purple unicorn who can barely go ten minutes without reading one.
- Nausea Fuel: Pink Eye Pete.
- Overshadowed by Awesome: The series was really good, but it was also overshadowed by the Disney incarnation of Doug (which most fans of the Nickelodeon version despised) and Recess (a Cult Classic Sleeper Hit).
- Retroactive Recognition: A non-acting example: Tom Warbuton (who would later create Codename: Kids Next Door) was hired as a main character designer for this series. Watch a Pepper Ann episode (if you can find one) and a Kids Next Door episode (which are in plentiful supply) and you'll see the similarities, to the point that those who watch both shows would think that he made Pepper Ann, which he didn't.
- Which leads to Hilarious in Hindsight as several Pepper Ann characters look like Codename: Kids Next Door expies (Tessa and Vanessa could easily pass these days as Numbuh 5, if she were a teenager — or her sister, Cree and Dieter looks like Numbuh 2 if he were fatter and from Germany)
- X Meets Y: Doug meets a more upbeat Daria.

Sysvinit vs. Upstart: Boot Performance for Debian and Ubuntu
Developers from Debian and Ubuntu met and discussed ways to improve boot performance at Canonical's London headquarters.
The suggestion for the aforementioned cooperation came from Mark Shuttleworth. Further plans will be made at the Debconf 09.The first results of this cooperation can be found on Ubuntu's mailing list. This is extremely crucial because the acceleration of the boot process requires a complete overhaul of the boot sequence. For this reason, a change from Sysvinit to Upstart would make sense.
The Ubuntu project would like to completely implement Upstart for version 10.04 with the first changes appearing on version 9.10. The question is whether the Debian project will follow suit. Debian developer Petter Reinholdtsen was not without reservations regarding this move which lead to discussion on how the transition could be made as convenient and simple as possible. In addition to the required code updates, a continuous cooperation to extend beyond the conference in has been proposed.
Further plans for changes will be discussed at the Debconf. More background information On the topic of Sysvinit/Upstart has been posted by Colin Watson on Ubuntu's Develop-Discuss mailing list as an answer upon request by Ubuntu users. Those interested in notes from the Debian/Ubuntu developer meeting, may find them here.

New beauty products perfect your look
Big Easy by Benefit
I received a sample of Big Easy liquid-to-powder foundation in my Birchbox package. While I loved the feel of the Big Easy when I put it on -- it easily went from liquid to a soft, velvetlike finish -- the color was all wrong. Shade 02, light, I am not.
The reason I don't wear foundation but do like BB and CC creams is that they don't necessarily feel like foundation. I'm fortunate in that my overall skin condition is good, but at age 50, there are some flaws that I do like to cover, and my skin does benefit from being evened out. So I headed to Ulta to see my choices. There are six shades to chose from, so I tried 03, light medium. Still too light.
Now it was time to ask a professional, who dabbed both 04, medium, on my right side, and 05, beige, on my left. The medium left slightly pinkie streaks, and the beige disappeared. So I bought the beige ($38), with her caution that if I got some sun I would need to go with a darker shade.
Big Easy isn't a BB cream. It doesn't do double duty as a moisturizer, which is fine with me. I have a moisturizer I like. But unlike my BB and CC creams, it does balance moisture and controls oil, which can still be an issue in my T zone.
After finding the right color, I'm hooked. The finish is flawless, and Big Easy is now my big fix.
Amala skin care
In Sanskrit "Amala" means "most pure." In Tibetan, "revered mother." In Spanish, "love her."
Founder, Ute Leube began blending her own skin care products in the early 1970s to be sure that what she put on her body was chemical-free. Her Times received a promotional e-mail promising that the line identifies plants sourced exclusively from global fair trade farmers that are distilled to ensure ingredients retain their full therapeutic value.
We received three products: one from the rejuvenating (cocoa bean) line, a face cream; and two from the brightening line (narcissis), a toner and a face polish. Other lines include hydrate, purify and soothe. Each has cleansers, toners and creams.
The rejuvenating face cream, $116, promises to firm skin, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and restore natural moisture. Cocoa is said to restore elasticity and provide antioxidant protection plant ingredients.
The brightening face polish, $66, says it will reveal brighter, more even toned skin with this refining dual-action face polish. An advanced blend of bio-botanical active ingredients exfoliates pigmented surface cells while strengthening skin's ability to resist new dark spots. The toning essence, $56, pledges to refresh and revive dull, uneven tone with this skin-clarifying essence. A complex blend of bio-botanical active ingredients helps balance skin's pH and prepares skin for the brightening treatments to follow. "Narcissus is rich in high potency antioxidants, which help defend skin from the environmental assaults that can lead to discolorations and dull, uneven tone," the company noted.
I tried all three for a week, using them like I would any facial scrub, toner and moisturizing combo. It reminded me of Proactive for mature women, and I certainly enjoyed the products. The face polish scrubbed gently, without huge bits of grit, while the toner was refreshing and not at all astringent or drying. The moisturizer was a fine finish, with a floral scent that remains for quite some time afterward.
Eye shadow primer by Urban Decay
I was hesitant to plop down $12 for eye shadow primer when I've been tsk-tsked by department store makeup counter ladies for years about using undereye concealer on my eyelids when I wore shadow. Foundation always creased after a couple of hours and the concealer allowed my shadow to stick.
But Urban Decay has the right combination here, and just a little bit goes a long way toward keeping your shadow, liner and even mascara where they belong. Even on days when I just wear mascara, I dab a bit on, and it seems to brighten my eyes all day.
It's no wonder this is a best-selling product. With my Ulta membership card, I bought it for 20 percent off. The tube, a travel size, will last me for a couple of months.

The new third edition attests to the wide usage this book has enjoyed among physicians concerned with the care of children. As in the earlier two editions, it provides extensive and comprehensive information on the recognition, etiology, and management in this complex field of behavior disorders in children. The reader finds the material concisely and succinctly presented in practical and understandable medical language.
As in the previous editions this text is intended for those physicians, be they pediatrician, general practitioner, school physician, or other, who devote themselves principally to the care of children. It is not a textbook on child psychiatry per se. Nevertheless, child psychiatrists in training, in clinical practice, and in teaching will find it of considerable value in focusing the pediatric viewpoint and in facilitating a meaningful exchange and a workable language between the psychiatrist and other medical colleagues.

Whilst in the act of triple penetration, each cock filled cavity seals every possible air path of entry or escape thus causing an immensely pleasurable (I said pleasurable bitch!) sensation for the female recipient, as her body becomes akin to a vaccuum sealed container. Also see, Tupperwhore.
