New York and Boston may be located in the Northeast, but together they invariably suck up all the oxygen of the baseball world. Sure, Boston is the world champ, and we know that the Red Sox, New York Yankees and New York Mets have baseball's highest payrolls. But every spring, do we have to be subjected to all the talk about these teams? (I'm sick of it, and I'm a Mets fan.) This year, everyone is yapping about how Boston could be a dynasty. Or how the Yanks will fare with a new manager, Joe Girardi, and a new boss, George Steinbrenner's son, Hank, a meddler who may manage to bring back the dysfunctional feel of the old Bronx Zoo. And those poor Mets will their new ace, Johan Santana, help them rebound from last season's historic collapse? Not to mention all the New York players caught up in the steroid morass, in particular Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, and now A Rod whom Jose Canseco said he introduced to a steroid supplier (Rodriguez has refused to comment). Thanks to some off season shuffling, the Detroit Tigers lineup is now a murderers' row. The club traded for one of the best young hitters in the game, Florida third baseman Miguel Cabrera, who hit .320 last season, with 34 home runs and 119 RBI. The team also acquired Jacque Jones, who batted .332 after the All Star break with the Chicago Cubs, and Edgar Renteria, long one of the most solid offensive shortstops in baseball (though his defense has declined). Magglio Ordonez, the '07 AL batting champ, and the always dangerous Gary Sheffield return from last year. How good is this lineup? Jones will bat ninth, and catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, a probable future Hall of Famer, will bat eighth. One burning question: will pitcher Dontrelle Willis, who came from Florida with Cabrera, recapture his prime form? God's team won an unfathomable 21 of 22 games before being swept in the World Series (we'll gladly fail to mention the sweepers). Some skeptics still insist it's a fluke of nature namely, the thin Coors Field air that plays tricks on other teams. Others have been converted, and believe that the Rockies should be a formidable foe over the long haul. The team did lose sparkplug second baseman Kaz Matsui to free agency, but outfielder Brad Hawpe won't be underrated for long. As long as the Coors Field humidor helps Colorado pitchers keep the ball from flying out of the park, the Rockies should keep rolling.

And the Air Force may see a shortage as pilots vote with their feet. Over the next year, the commercial airline industry is going to begin hiring tens of thousands of new pilots as aging flyers retire and the industry regains its economic footing. That could put dark clouds in the way of the Air Force's wild blue yonder as it tries to persuade pilots to stay in a service even as top officials worry that pilots don't have enough yoke time. "If pilots aren't flying in the Air Force because of our readiness issue, we worry that a number of them are going to say, 'I'm flying somewhere else,'" acting Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning told Foreign Policy in an interview this month. "If I'm looking at my jet parked on the ramp instead of flying it and I can get a job somewhere else flying, then I'm going to do that. So we are concerned that there is a sort of perfect storm approaching us in terms of flying retention." Fanning said current retention rates are better than historical averages. But he fears there are a number of lagging indicators that don't tell the real story of how furloughs, the government shutdown, and lower readiness rates will affect the force over the next few years. The Air Force has publicly raised the alarm about its lower readiness rates because of sequestration and budget cutbacks. It may be using the threat of a pilot shortage to convince its budget overseers in Congress to ensure the service is properly funded. But no one disputes the factors at play are real. Those factors start with the commercial aviation sector. There are three issues the industry is facing that could affect the Air Force in a significant way. The biggest one is the change to mandatory retirements for commercial airline pilots. In 2007, the FAA changed the mandatory retirement age for pilots from 60 to 65, keeping more seasoned pilots in the cockpits. But now thousands of those pilots are reaching retirement age and the airline industry, which is experiencing a comeback, will confront a shortage of experienced pilots across many airlines. "That wave is just hitting," said one Air Force official. There are additional crew rest regulations as well that require airlines to maintain more pilots on staff. The numbers suggest the Air Force's fears are grounded in reality: Some worst case scenarios suggest the airline industry including international carriers could hire as many as 50,000 pilots over the next 10 years, and some estimates are even higher. Air Force, the service could be in for some turbulence. The Airline Pilots Association, the primary trade group representing the interests of pilots and which is tracking the issue, did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

And you don't need to be a horror/geography wunderkind to notice that every Stephen King book is about an unexplainable evil being evil in New England. Those trademarks are part of the reason we like the work of those guys. But what's really interesting are the artists who have been flaunting their bizarre fixations in our faces for years but have never been called out on them. Until now . If geek fandom was a high school, Whedon would be its resident golden boy jock. Some might consider him an asshole, but he does have a lot going for him, like Buffy, Firefly and Dr. Horrible. And now, he's even directing the Avengers movie, which in this metaphor is like scoring with the school's entire cheerleading squad. At once. It's definitely a creepy foot fetish. When you really think about it, it's not that often that you see bare feet on the little screen. Unless you're watching a Joss Whedon joint, in which case there seems to be all sorts of opportunities for his lady and gentleman stars to shuck footwear. Like in the space western Firefly, where society has apparently abolished all shoes other than the sandal: To be fair, most of these do belong to Summer Glau's character, River, who was supposed to be the show's psychic warrior dancer of sorts (you know how all dancers hate shoes). Besides, how do we explain the fact that Whedon's most famous series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, is virtually feet free? Easy. He was just saving it all for Buffy's spin off series, Angel, particularly with (but not limited to) Amy Acker's character, Fred, who never met a floor surface her feet didn't like: But don't go thinking that just because we saw only women flashing their toes, Whedon's supposed hard on for feminism is bullshit. Perish the thought! Nothing gets Whedon hotter than gender equality, and that's why his next series, Dollhouse, even featured barefoot guys! (Among the dozen or so women constantly running around with no shoes on.) Here at Cracked we've already talked in great detail about the hidden messages in Stanley Kubrick's movies, everything from the oppression of Native Americans to Freemasonry to faking the moon landing. So you might be wondering, is there really anything surprising left to say about Kubrick's filmography? What else can we say about such glorious codpieces? Bathrooms. For real, bathrooms. Stanley Kubrick, ladies and gentlemen. Let's get right to it: Almost every major Stanley Kubrick movie includes a pivotal scene that takes place in a bathroom or toilet. We'll go through them chronologically, but be warned, you will never look at these movies the same way again. And before somebody jumps into the comments and says, "He made lots of movies! You could probably do this with any room in the house!" we say, try it. Go through and collect all of the big scenes that take place in, say, kitchens, and see if you come up with anything like this list: Dr. Strangelove (1964) The insane general Jack D. Ripper orders a nuclear attack on the USSR that can be called off with a code only he knows. To not give up the code, Ripper shoots himself in the bathroom. A Clockwork Orange (1971) Alex (Malcolm McDowell) is staying in the house of the man whose wife he and his friends raped earlier in the film. The man finally recognizes Alex after he starts singing in the tub. The Shining (1980) Bathrooms galore. It's where we first see the psychic kid use his powers, where the ghosts tell Jack to murder his family, even where the famous "Here's Johnny!" scene takes place. the only part you remember) ends with the insane Private Pyle killing the foulmouthed drill sergeant and committing suicide in the unit's toilet. Of course, we don't have to tell you that the roundness of the toilet seats and the yellowness of urine are clearly hidden representations of the Masonic sun symbol. Anyone can see that. 4. And really, what else would we expect from a guy who seriously believes he's a magician and used to write under the pseudonym Translucia Baboon? Hard nut to crack, that. Holy shit, somebody gave Rasputin a comic book. Moore likes his young, hot heroines having sex with grotesque monstrosities. Moore likes that a lot. The first pairing that probably comes to mind for most of us is Silk Spectre and Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen. Silk Spectre is just a regular person, and Dr. Manhattan is a blue . reconstructed . quantum superhuman god . thing, and clearly not the same species as Silk Spectre. Still, they get it on: "Two of you? Oh NOW it's just weird!" Surprisingly, that little bit of awkward sandwich was actually left in the movie. Usually, movies based on Moore's comics cut out all the weird sex scenes, presumably so the audience doesn't collectively throw up popcorn all over the theater. So non comic book geeks might be surprised to learn just how much wrinkly/bizarre dick action they missed out on. Like in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, unlike the movie, the roughly 70 year old Allan Quatermain actually gets to hook up with Mina Harker, the visually 20 something victim of Dracula. Goodbye, what was left of our childhoods. Apparently in order to learn it, you have to bang a wrinkly septuagenarian sorcerer, which is what Sophie, the book's protagonist, ends up doing. Yeah, that's exactly where we thought Moore was going with the whole "magician" shtick. But all of the above pales in comparison with Vol. 2 of Moore's Swamp Thing where the titular character (a sentient, animated piece of swamp) has sex with the human character Abby. OK, maybe "sex" isn't the right word here, but until someone comes up with a shorter version of "a sexual acid trip after eating psychedelic vegetation growing on a monster," that's what we'll go with.
Websites For Nike Roshe Run Reddish Brown White,Nike Roshe Run Army Green White Quilted Wagner has been thrown into the fire during this weekend's rookie minicamp getting reps at middle linebacker as the Seahawks look to fill the hole left by David Hawthorne's departure to New Orleans.The (MLB) spot is wide open and we have to see what happens. This is what Bobby is putting his sights on, but we'll have to see how it goes, Carroll said.Seattle brought back Matt McCoy and signed veteran Barrett Ruud during free agency that will also be a part of the competition for the starting job.McCoy played well in spot duty last season before a knee injury ended his season. Ruud has started 77 games throughout his seven year career, but is dealing with offseason injuries of his own.Bobby's going to get a heck of a chance. We want to see him. We'd love to get that speed on the field if we could. It's rare to find a linebacker that runs that fast, Carroll said. . But he's got to do it. He's got a long way to go before he can take that over.Part of that learning curve will be becoming comfortable with calling defenses on the field. While at Utah State, defensive calls came from the coaching staff on the sideline instead of through a player on the field. Wagner hasn't called defenses since he was in high school. Wright at strongside linebacker. Wright played both middle and outside for Seattle last season.We're not going to burden (Wagner) with that and we'll let that be something that is staged in later, Carroll said. is really good at it so we'll let him do it.Wagner knows the coaching staff is putting a lot on his shoulders. It's a burden he's happy to carry.I love the pressure. I'm just going to do whatever I can to start. I know I've got a lot to learn, but I'm going to take my time, Wagner said.Wagner was unable to attend the NFL combine when he came down with pneumonia just two days before he was set to leave for Indianapolis.But he managed to make a mark with scouts at his pro day workout instead. Wagner ran a sub 4.5 40 yard dash, recorded a 39.5 inch vertical leap and an 11 foot broad jump.His athleticism would be a welcome addition for Carroll in the middle of the Seahawks defense if he can take hold of the spot.It comes down to can he run, can he hit, can he fit into our profile and what we do best here. That's absolute, linebackers coach Ken Norton Jr. said. He certainly looks the part, acts the part and he works the part and just a matter of handling all the installation as we go on day by day.Unlike a season ago, Wagner will have that time to acclimate over a full offseason. The rookies get to start working out with the veterans now that rookie camp is over and Wagner will get the chance to show what he can do.A lot of people get here and then in two years you never hear from them, so I'm trying to stay here for a while and be a contributor to this team, Wagner said.Notes: Pete Carroll says QB Russell Wilson will compete for the starting job with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson. He's going to be in the competition. He's shown us enough. He's in the competition, Carroll said. . All 10 draft picks have signed as fourth round picks DT Jaye Howard and RB Robert Turbin signed over the weekend. . Carroll singled out G Rishaw Johnson and CB Donny Lisowski as players that stood out during minicamp.

I think so. I just got the Cambridge, you can find a post I made about them earlier in my comment history. This is my new account, you won have to dig far. They a right bit comfier than proper dress shoes, but you not going to convince anyone they dress shoes. They would look weird with a suit. Get good quality shoes you like that look good, but put in soles inside them. You work at a pharmacy, so you literally won need to leave work to buy them. I wear normal dress shoes and don have a problem. That said, I do stand on a 1/4" mat which is better than the hard floor. I looked into the Cole Haan Air line. The shoes themselves don look half bad. not sure about quality, but it probably nowhere near an AE/Alden type of shoe. Might be an option for you, though. That said, quality shoes are made to be comfortable. The cork footbed and leather insoles mold to your feet. I used to have a lot of pain when I started but after a year or so I realized that it wasn the comfort of the shoe that helped me most but the position my foot is in. I found best success in anything with roughly a half inch heel. Flat shoes cause tons of pain and sneakers also hurt a lot. I would avoid wooden heels, other than that just know that over time your feet will adjust and the pain will be lessened. I had my standing/walking/concrete job with no chair for 6 years and regularly carry 90lb rolls of paper on my shoulder back and forth. You get used to it.
