– Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez was in New York on Thursday to promote "Keep Your Grip Challenge," an online video game sponsored by Vaseline MEN.
Earlier this offseason, he stated that he did not plan to retire as he's set to make $5.75 million if next season is played.
However, he told Clifton Brown of The Sporting News that he would likely retire if next season was entirely lost to the NFL labor dispute.
However, he is confident that there will be a season. But if not, he's ready to walk away.
Got this Tweet from Tony Gonzalez (@TonyGonzalez88) today:
Hey Guys I'm going to be on the NFL Network tonight from 3:30pm – 5pm (PST), check it out it should be a good time! (So that's 6:30 to 8 p.m. for us EST folks.).
"Would I sit out a whole season and come back — probably not, honestly," Gonzalez, 35, told Sporting News. "At this point, at my age, I don't know if that would be smart of me to do something like that. But I'm enjoying the offseason, working out and preparing like I always do."
"I think it might cut into camp," Gonzalez said of the labor dispute. "Into the season, I doubt it. Who knows though? Hopefully we can get these issues resolved. The arguments from the owners' perspective are a little outrageous to me. It's the No. 1 game in the world. I think there are so many ways you could structure a deal. Maybe there are too many chiefs, not enough Indians. Maybe we should get one or two representatives from each side to hammer it out. But between the owners and the players, that's a lot of different opinions and that's why the process is going so slow. That's why I don't think it's going to be resolved anytime soon. But I just don't see an entire season being taken away. That would be sad. Not just for the players and the owners, but the fans."

This is not good.
You would think that these guys (owners and players) could figure out some way to divide 9 BILLION and change amongst themselves.
Do you think they remember what happened to baseball after their greed strike? Huh?
As a Falcon season ticket holder, I shall never again spend one thin dime on anything pertaining to the Falcons, if this season is shortened, cancelled, or has rosters made up of replacements, wanna-be's, has-beens, never-were's and scabs.

Oh, and I love what Gonzalez has brought to this team, losing him would be the deepest cut of all.

seems to be a class guy but to me he is basically a possession reciever. they will get a tight this draft and Justin is better than he has been allowed to show but that said Tony helped us.
if Ryan needs him for a confidence factor we have the wrong qb

Tony has at the most a year left in him, and I don't think he has the legs left in him to play in the NBA. You can see in games last year where he just didn't have that push.

Gonzalez has been a great pro in the NFL, but at the end of his career only average at best for the Falcons. So this would not be a big a loss as it sounds. I have nothing bad to say about him, great person and player, but time in this game has slowed him quite a bit. But the Falcons and the league owe it to him to allow him to make his own decision and not force him out.
April 1st, 2011
8:05 am
Hopefully he'll hang around this year and the Falcons can draft Orson Charles next year if he comes out early. He's a bad mamajama and CMR needs to unleash him this year.
April 1st, 2011
8:18 am
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! No Tony, don't go!!!! You still have plenty of play left in your game. Plus you are the best looking Falcon in a very long time…..since we traded Patrick Kerney…..

From what I understand about his conditioning and his attitudes towards the game and preparation for games, TG could play several more years, if he so chose. But I can certainly see his POV, why would he sit out a full year and then go through it all again next year? I hope he's right and there is only a shortened training camp and exhibition schedule, but a full regular season. DOL, is one of the issues on table whether or not the schedule expands to 18 games?

Makes me think we should draft #1 TE Kyle Rudolph, #2 CB Ras Dowling and #3 LB Dontay Moch and then fill the void at DE and WR in Free Agency
April 1st, 2011
8:53 am
All the more reason we should have grabbed Jimmy Graham in the 3rd round a few years back. We knew Tony was going to retire sooner than later, and Graham has elite skills with very little football experience. It is no coincidence that Antonio Gates had a similar background.
Outside of Matt Ryan and Curtis Lofton, Dimitroff hasn't made many great picks. Not picking up Graham was a big whiff, made all the worse by the fact that the Saints picked him up.
Just you watch…Graham will bloom into a star in New Orleans.
April 1st, 2011

*"A few years"=last year
Whoops…I could have sworn he came out in 2009. Regardless…Graham was a steal at pick #95.

This is why I have been saying for weeks that any Mock Draft without a TE
is completely foolish.

Wonder how many American GE workers are mad GE won't slit up the 5 billion in profit? The definition of Capitalism ( in a blunt way) IS PAYING PEOPLE LESS THAN THEY PRODUCE. Pretty simple.
The idea of 'sharing' in ALL the profits is a mindset I don't get. These guys have a choice, go sell Insurance, working 50 weeks a year making 80K. They think the game …and profits are nothing without them…and, mostly, they are right….but, these owners did not get this rich from owning a pro football team. It's just a rich guys toy. They know it's big money and they want a equity position, which in America,is not how it works!
April 1st, 2011
9:05 am
Dimitroff has missed far more than most realize. Matt Ryan is not an elite quarterback. He lacks the arm strength as well as the aptitude.
See Joe Flacco. He's the guy the Falcons should have drafted.
April 1st, 2011
9:06 am
I agree that the players are not in a position to make as much as the owners. They don't take the same risks, so they shouldn't be entitled to the same rewards.
HOWEVER, the problem I have with this argument is the fact that THE PLAYERS DIDN'T START THIS FIGHT.
The owners wanted more money. That's what started this whole thing. Now people turn it all around and talk about how greedy the players are for wanting "more money," when in fact they are only fighting to make the same amount of money. Oh yeah, while also PLAYING MORE GAMES!
April 1st, 2011
9:08 am
Shut up steven.
Ryan is better than Flacco. If arm strength is the only the thing a QB needs, then Kyle Boller and Ryan Leaf should be Hall of Famers.
Ryan has better accuracy and better awareness.
The only reason Flacco was even comparable his first couple of years is because he was put into a FAR better situation.

You throw him the ball, he catches it. You ask him to block, he blocks it. Perfect Player! Thanks Tony!
April 1st, 2011
9:19 am
I agree that we need to draft a TE but Orson Charles under performed last year. He needs to prove himself before he can be consider for the nfl. With AJ Green out he should have been a safety net for Murray. He was plagued by drops. Wasn't he the one that dropped a go ahead touchdown versus South Carolina? (just saying) The Falcons should try and get get Durham in the later rounds. He would be a great slot reciever that could be a safety net on third down for years. (think Finneran) There a lot of good TE's that play on bad teams that would jump at the chance to join the Falcons. Congrats on a great career Tony. I hope you make it back for one more year to get your ring. If not you had a great career and will be a first ballot hall of famer
April 1st, 2011
9:19 am
I think this comment shows why we need to draft a TE this year. You would like to see a TE be mentored by Tony a year or two before he leaves us. I think you need to get one ASAP to make that happen. He is thinking retirement we have to take that seriously.
April 1st, 2011
9:34 am
I got mixed feelings about TG. Geriatrics like him should be taking it easy in a rocking chair instead of trying to keep up with the young bucks like Jimmy Graham. Of course, the advantage of TG hanging around is that it makes it easier for the defenses to clamp down on the falcan'ts, TG virtually disappeared in that second game against the Saints, he must have lost a lot of gas by the time he got to the end of the regular season, typical for people his age. He was a good warrior when he was with the Chiefs, not much of a threat since coming to atlanta. Good luck in your next career Tony!
April 1st, 2011
9:36 am
I hope this season does not come down to this. Tony has a great place on our team, leadership qualities cannot be replaced, sometimes. He and Peelle are mentoring Palmer who should show up big one day in the NFL.

Agree with steven a.
An injury to the nickle back shouldn't result in a beatdown.
Green Bay overcame injury after injury, even during the Superbowl, because they were stocked with talent and not guys whose MO is to grab a WR's shirt and hold on.
April 1st, 2011
9:47 am
Realize we will get there with time…we started with nothing in 2008. I do think Dimitroff has to do a better job of taking the best available player and not trying to fill needs, though. Jerry over Matthews was a blunder.
April 1st, 2011
9:49 am
Maybe I am wrong about this but I think most Jacket and Dawg fans love their college team far more than they love the Falcons.
We can get our football fix on Saturday and spend more family time on Sunday.
A strike or lockout will work just fine for us college fans.
April 1st, 2011

Tony, thanks for the great seasons you have had. Good luck and God bless.

TD is better than all the past GM's. I'll give you that.
Then again with Atlanta's GMs in all sports so mediocre at best.
This is a silly thought but had I been Cousins grandson like in the movie "Litle Big League", I would have given Lenny Wilkins the asked for raise that prompted a trade and not traded ROY Paul Silas for a worthless white player.
The Hawks would have won a championship in their first three years here.
Silly thought.
April 1st, 2011

Agreed, Jackets…I will be at Bobby Dodd on Saturdays, so I can live without the Falcons on Sundays. I do enjoy watching them, but I'll be fine without it.
April 1st, 2011
10:01 am
They do have a lot of time to work something out.
I've given up pro sports.
I can't get a handle around the pay and greed even without a strike.
Have the NFL players looked out for the early senile guys who built the league up for them.
Lots of suicide and early senile among retired players.
And the current guys could care less for the most part.
April 1st, 2011
10:07 am
This dispute between players and owners is nothing more than greed, being supported by a foundation of stupidity. There are any number of what could be acceptable means to divide a $9B annual revenue and allow both sides to come away rich and happy. But when you know part of this discussion is that there is an overwhelming opinion of THE FANS that they don't like to be forced to pay, and pay full price for pre-season (read try-out and practice) games that see little time and effort from the professionals they come to see…..and the owners solution is to reduce preseason and add 2 regular-season games, adding risk to the players???? Is $9B not enough to survive on after a minor consession to the fans that would build enormous good will?? The huge return in fan appreciation should be more than worth the investment.

Great Falconi – I'm heading to Lake Jackson over spring break with the kids. Can't wait to stop by Fresh Air BBQ…that out-of-nowhere comment just made my day!
And this football stuff better be worked out…I need more than just Saturday football; I want Sunday & Monday too.
I'm fine with the owners and players making their money, just have this stuff worked out in time.

Jackets 2011, as a dawg fan and college football fan, I agree 100%. After watching college football Thursday-Saturday, Sunday NFL is a letdown!

Tony THANK YOU for your years in the NFL. If you don't want to do it 1 more year if this year is a wash so be it. You have a Beautiful Life, Wife, and Family you earned every penny and the right to walk away in the best shape you can be in.
April 1st, 2011
10:42 am
I thought I might draw out some rare agreement between the two fanbases today. Thanks.
If they gave us a break on preseason tickets, they would probably just raise the regular season price.
Still, that might make more sense.
I think both sides take their fans for granted.
If this isn't settled, they may lose many to the college game.
Especially in the South.

I'm cool wth it if TG retires, he deserves it and is relatively healthy and injury free. Go enjoy your family! It's not like we have zero talent at TE, Peele is playing well. Kerry Meier gives us another outlet when he is back………
April 1st, 2011
11:29 am
Tough decision for Tony, HEy DOL one question for you do you ask your publisher for his fiancial statements, to see if you can get a raise, you probably shouldn't answer but its the same thing isn't the players asking the owners but were given a chance to see the last 5 years, actually you need to keep copy of only your 5 years of fiancial statements if the IRS only wanted to audit you. If I was the players I would like to see the unions fiancial statements to make sure they weren't getting ripped off by there own administrators.

The link on the Sports page is misleading. "Falcons' Gonzalez to retire?" makes it sound like he's thinking about doing it right now. But the article goes on to say that only applies if the NFL season is entirely lost. Shoddy work.
April 1st, 2011
11:42 am
He is the best TE to ever play, but what we will miss most is his leadership ability. Nowadays, he just runs one route — straight ahead, and has lost any ability to get open.
April 1st, 2011
11:55 am
Great Falconi you are dead on! I grew up on that stuff and there is none better…anywhere. My mother grew up there and anytime we visited our grandparents (at least once a month) we HAD to have Fresh Air. My grandfather was so famous for his "Grandkid Runs" that when he died they brought a huge order to the house for the family. Great BBQ and even better folks!!

This just means we have no choice but to draft a tight end in the first round if he retires.

Site Explorer Enhanced With Daily Freshness
Whilst we cannot speak for our competitors, here at Majestic SEO we know our customers have been asking for fresher data, which could provide feedback on what is happening to your clients' link profiles right now. So, we have taken a big step towards "Real Time", and have created a publicly available data set that we will aim to update on a daily basis. You could say that latency is to SEO what location is to Real Estate Agents.
We call this daily update the "Fresh Index", and believe it marks an evolutionary step in the provision of backlinks intelligence. By limiting the data set to a rolling 30 day period ( approximate ), and investing heavily in new equipment we have been able to generate an index of about 40 billion unique URLs. This builds on our recent work on intelligent crawling, and the development of our toolsets – in recent months we have introduced our co-citation tool "Clique Hunter", and "Site Explorer" – our backlink investigation tool.
We have made the Fresh Index available on all of our tools for subscribers with a Silver subscription or higher. That's Site Explorer, Clique Hunter, Advanced reports and Standard Reports all available with up-to-date backlinks data, in addition to our existing comprehensive industry leading data set – which we have renamed "Historic" – due to its industry leading strength for historical backlinks analysis. Users on the free or bronze plan will be able to get a glimpse of the Fresh Index data on site explorer and on the backlink history screen.
How Fresh is Fresh?
In order to demonstrate how fresh our fresh index is, we looked hard to find a recent, verifiable "good news" story to track. A quick read of the British online tech publication – The Register – furnished us with an example able to bring a smile to many web developers faces – an article from March 4th about Microsoft launching a fresh campaign to eradicate Internet Explorer 6 from the web, in the shape of The IE6 countdown website. So how good are our crawlers at detecting this – we will let our backlink graph do the talking:
Clicking on the image should reveal an image with sufficient resolution for you to see the daily resolution of link accumulation – this graph works best with new sites and has some characteristics we will return to later. For now – Lets get a feel for the enhanced resolution this new Fresh dataset provides by comparing this graph with the historic graph for the same domain:
The "Fresh Index" graphs work best with new domains due to a subtle charactoristic of the Fresh Index – as it is rolling data, old links will get forgotten after about 30 days, leading them to be "rediscovered", however the value of data for new site owners is such that we didn't want to hold up the release of this important toolset – now, with the Majestic SEO index, feedback can be provided to clients during the sensitive "post launch" period.
All data that feeds into the Fresh Index is also added to the historic index which we currently release twice a month, as it takes approximately 8 days to build on our teraflop class cluster due to the massive – some would say majestic – amount of data being processed.
Is this onsite only?
This post would not be complete without our platinum customers who have access to our Backlink API – we are in the process of updating our developer docs at http://developer-support.majesticseo.com, and are happy to report that the Fresh Index will be made available by adding the parameter "Datasource", with a value of "Fresh" to any of the existing API commands.
In Conclusion.
Its difficult to express our excitement about the Fresh index without breaking into superlatives. Whilst Dixon is manning our Expo stand at Search Engine Strategies in New York, our tech and support teams will be celebrating the release from the Majestic HQ in Birmingham, England. Rest assured, however, that we will not be resting on our laurels and are working hard on new features and developments. We see the release of the Fresh Index as just the starting point in a new wave of tools and services to drive Majestic fowards. 2011 is becoming an exciting year for link intelligence.
15 Responses to "Site Explorer Enhanced With Daily Freshness"
This is the next big wonderful thing. I can't express my pleasant surprise when I just checked one site and my jaw dropped in awe !
Nice one Alex! I do love majestic and I love its flexability… and with fresh date – it just gets better and better
Nice seeing you making progress!
Great work Alex thanks. Majestic is a fantastic tool ad should be at the heart of any SEO as it provides up to date content and is always getting better. Keep up the great work
So for the less technical folks like myself, would you say the most apparent use of the "freshness index" is monitoring successful campaigns within YOUR vertical?
We monitor the top ten competitor sites rankings, try to reverse engineer any that see's bumps up in rankings, and we have no idea of freshness of links until now. Is this precisely why you made this?
Hi Brent,
Fresh index is there to achieve 2 main goals:
1) show found backlinks much quicker
2) only use recently found backlinks to provide cleaner data with more live URLs
Specifically the charts can help detect increase in backlinks faster – possibly in matter of days rather than weeks as historic index takes more time.
This is great. I recently became aware of MajesticSEO (I know, where have I been?) and have already decided to replace a few other lesser quality tools with this one. Especially important when you are a one-man show and time management is critical. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for making this, it sounds interesting.
I gather that the results are more recent, and more likely to show active, juice passing backlinks, but I still find the differences between the two, and how to use both, a confusing issue.
For example, I want to add Majestic SEO link information manually to an excel file every week or two for all my sites, and I can't decide whether to use the fresh or historic index.
I'm looking for the most accurate figures for active, juice passing links. You suggest the fresh index might offer this, but surely if it crawls fewer pages, it's going to miss a lot of older pages that are relevant?
Would you suggest that I note down the figures for the fresh index every week, or the historic index every two weeks?
Hi Daniel,
I'd recommend looking at two indexes – fresh is designed to provide data quicker and have only recently found links in it, thus providing cleaner data. Historical index on the other hand contains all data. Crawling rate isn't a big factor since all data included in fresh index also gets included into historic index, it just takes more time for this to happen.
This is truly a great service. With the addition of fresh date it enhances the user experience that much more. Thanks!
this is a really good service. Oh and BTW – I just love that great picture of the fruit – it's so sharp and clear.
Hi Alex. I'm still trying to figure out a couple points about this. As I understand it, after 1 month the links drop off the fresh index "only to be rediscovered". Does this mean when the site is crawled again, if the link is still there it is added back in to the fresh index? If the site is crawled more than once in a month, how many "links" will be added to the fresh index? Does it avoid duplicates?
Fresh index includes data crawled in the last 30 days – most of this data is on our automatic recrawl meaning that the same pages will be checked again and again: some of them are checked hourly, others checked weekly or even monthly.
We avoid counting duplicate links from the same pages: say if there is a link from our homepage and we crawl that page every day then we won't count same link 30 times every day.
I hope that explains.
We've got a good handle on our on-page optimization process and this new combo w/ Majestic and Market Samurai seems to address the more complex off-page optimization tactics needed to find those high quality links that we all seek to secure. Maybe a MoDo video is in the offing showing how this new fresh and historical feed works best?

Ted and Chance are a beautiful pair of bonded boy cats. They are both domestic shorthair mixes who just turned one year old. Ted is a gorgeous brown and black tabby with a white belly and Chance is mostly gray with little white markings on his belly and feet and bright green eyes.
These boys have always lived together and need to go to a home as a pair. They are bonded and can often be caught cuddling and napping together. They are also very social and will quickly pop out to play when you enter their room. Both Ted and Chance like to play and be petted. They love attention and desire a home where they can live together and receive plenty of attention from their human family members.
They have been vaccinated, micro-chipped, dewormed, neutered and tested negative for FIV and feline leukemia. Bring your whole family to meet these gentle boys and see if they are the ones for you. Both cats can be adopted for only $85.
They can be visited at the Atlanta Humane Society's Mansell campus located at 1565 Mansell Road, Alpharetta, GA 30009. Their animal ID numbers are A15585536 (Chance) and A15585513 (Ted). An application can be filled out at our location and we can be reached at 404-875-5331 with any questions.

Album Review: Southern Air by Yellowcard
Posted by Karen Marchuska on 08/29 at 12:47 PM
Grade: A+
After being a band for 10 years, you would think Yellowcard might run out of things to write about. Instead, they took all those experiences from the decade that they've been making music together and turned it into an album full of songs about believing in yourself and overcoming anything, both of which they've had to do plenty of. Though their sound has morphed and matured through the years, this album is very reminiscent of their major label debut from 2003, Ocean Avenue, with the soaring violin solos and their scathingly personal, but oh-so-relatable lyrics. With that album they challenged the genre of pop-rock, and with this new release they personally hammer the last nail into the coffin of conformity. Instead of infusing their tracks with overly produced pop synths and beats, they sprinkle in some violin and intense rock'n'roll drumming, making the sound uniquely theirs.
The opening track of the album is "Awakening," a strong anthem for putting the past behind you and empowering yourself to move forward, despite the wrong that somebody has done to you. It comes full on, starting the album off with high energy that carries through the next few tracks. "Here I Am Alive," features guest vocals from Tay Jardine of the band We Are the In Crowd that intertwines perfectly with lead singer Ryan Key's. This song is the second single from the album and comes from the band's experiences getting dropped by labels and pushed around by the industry and the media, with lyrics like: "They'll say you're never coming back and tell you that you're cursed, and when they give up cause they always give up say, here I am alive."
"Always Summer," the first single of the album, will definitely appeal to fans of Ocean Avenue. With the summer romance vibes, it's a perfect transition song that will reel in pop fans as well as punk/alternative listeners.
The highest energy song on the album, "Surface of the Sun," is full of solid rock guitar and drum beats and packs a strong vocal delivery from Key as he sings of a burning desire to prove themselves. The other three rock-heavy tracks: "Sleep in the Snow," "A Vicious Kind," and "Rivertown Blues," successfully melt the violin right in with the powerful guitar sounds to create extremely catchy punk-rock infused tunes.
And it wouldn't be a true Yellowcard album without a ballad, which comes to you in the track "Ten." This truly moving song comes from a very personal place in Key's heart and you can hear the pain and longing as he sings of losing a child. Another song that comes straight from Key's emotions is "Telescope," which he wrote about his late Aunt Stephanie who was the band's first fan and strongest believer. "Telescope" is one of the standout tracks on the album with perfectly placed harmonies from Jardine, Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low, and Cassadee Pope. What makes these harmonies so good is that they don't overcrowd the song, only coming in for the chorus and some vocal riffs at the end of the song.
The album ends perfectly with the title track, "SouthernAir." In this song Key reaffirms his beliefs that despite all that the band has been through, they know who they are, singing: "This southern air is in my lungs, it's in every word I've sung, seems the only truth I know, this will always be home." It's a great way to sum up the album, both musically and lyrically, tying everything together.
Despite the band being older than most others in their genre, and despite their recent 2-year hiatus, this album almost certainly passes the brilliance of their original smash Ocean Avenue. With the extremely personal but totally relatable lyrics and mature musicianship, this album solidly places Yellowcard back at the top of their genre where they belong.

The past several days have been somewhat low-key, as I have been sick with a fever off and on. As a result, there hasn't been too much going on at Ghar Hughbanks that has been worth reporting.
But all of that will change very soon! Tomorrow, Emily, Edge of Seven's program director arrives in Kathmandu, and the first group of volunteers will be here next week. We'll be headed back up into the mountains on Nov. 22. I will stay with the volunteers through the end of the month, and Travis will be there for 5+ weeks. Hopefully, we can get a blog post out of him before he leaves in a few days.
We did manage to recently make a quick trip up to Pokhara, the base city for all of the Annapurna Range treks, one of the most popular trekking areas in Nepal. After being in Kathmandu for so long, Pokhara felt a little bit like heaven.
Situated on a big lake with snow-peaked mountains all around, it is extremely laid back and lacking all of the pollution of the capital city. Granted, it is also swarmed by tourists, which may not be an experience everyone is seeking when coming to Nepal, but it's still a nice respite. The tourist industry has given rise to quite a few good restaurants and makes for an excellent people watching scene. Most Westerners in Pokhara are guaranteed to have at least one of two looks going on: spiffy, high-tech hiking pants and a walking stick or dreadlocks and patchwork clothing.
The main purpose of our trip was to meet with the women's collective I have been working with on Sapana Bags. It was really inspiring to see their shop and talk with the founder, Tara, who is an incredible woman doing a lot for women in her community. (More on this to come.)
We also got to spend some time with our friend Bikash, the brother of our good friend Binod. Bikash runs Natures Grace Lodge, a cozy hotel tucked away off the main street. Last year, we stayed there for several days during the May 2010 Maoist strike, so having Dal Bhat with Bikash and his cousin Ganga in the Nature's Grace kitchen this week most definitely brought back memories from that time.
Aside from that, we've had several good meetings in Kathmandu, finally ate lunch at Nina and Hager, a deli across from the U.S. Embassy that has terrific sandwiches/burgers and has been recommended by pretty much everyone we've come into contact with in Kathmandu, went to a documentary screening about Monsanto's move into Nepal (a big deal that has the potential to be very harmful to Nepali farmers), and have even made a few friends.
Lastly, and I don't believe I have mentioned this on the blog before (though I have told the story to many people), but there has been another pigeon incident. Those of you who know me may know about my pigeon aversion, second only in severity to my rat phobia. During our first week here we were having a snack at a restaurant in Thamel and sitting at a table by the windows, which were open to let in the breeze. As we were close to finishing our food, a sick pigeon with an open sore on its head flew in the window and landed on our table. We tried to shoo it away, but it didn't respond. Instead it stumbled across the table, walked into our plate of hummus, and sat down. I jumped out of my seat and screamed a little, which the men sitting behind us found hilarious. "What?!" they yelled at me. "This has never happened to you before?"
Well, today I went out to the balcony to do a little laundry and there was a big, dead pigeon in the outside sink. Travis tried to get me to suck it up and dispose of the body myself, as I need to learn to deal with these things, but I just didn't think so. Next time, I'm sure I will have more courage.

Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.
Vintage photos of:
Indianapolis, Indiana, circa 1907. "Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument." 8x10 inch dry plate glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
The 5 story building seen immediately to the right of Christ Church is the original Columbia Club. That structure dated from the late 1880's and was replaced in 1925 with a 10-story building due to growing membership. The replacement building survives to this day.
The 'house' to the right of the Columbia Club was actually the offices of the Indianapolis Water Company at 113 Monument Place.
The depressing aspect to this photo is how wide-open, simple and majestic it was back then. Today, Monument Circle is rather claustrophobic, cluttered and tourist-y.
I noticed the horses and buggies are traveling in both directions on the circle, Indiana's earliest "roundabout." Traffic now only flows in one direction, counterclockwise.
Wow. Brilliant. And how different it looks today. The only other building I can see that still remains is the building on the north exit from the square (just before the park) with the columns and stairs in front.
And many of the facades of the buildings facing the circle were being held up by iron superstructures. They were preserving the facades for later back filling by more modern architecture.
What an amazing monument,designed by Bruno Schmitz (1858-1916) who also designed among other things the German Pavilion for the 1904 World's Fair in St Louis. More here.
There is one building left standing around the perimeter of Monument Circle from the time of this photograph, but it is practically invisible: Christ Church Cathedral, built in 1857 (according to the mavens at Wikipedia), lies hidden behind the Monument at the northeast corner of Monument Circle and Meridian Street. Other than that, the only surviving building in the photograph appears to be the US Courthouse (1902-1905), a small sliver of which may be seen set back from Meridian Street behind a balustrade, two blocks north of the Monument.
A totally unexpected and beautiful view of a Midwestern US city. While many places like this still exist in Europe, it appears that everything here except the monument itself has been wiped away. We can't even blame it on war.

SPOKANE -- Christopher Garia belted the ball over the left-field fence in the bottom half of the 11th inning to help the Indians defeat the Boise Hawks in walk-off fashion, closing out the five-game series with a 5-3 victory.
Spokane won the series 4-1.
The Indians nearly won the game before extra innings, as Alberto Truinfel knocked in Jamie Jarmon to take a 3-2 lead over the Hawks in the bottom half of the eighth. But in the ninth inning, a miscommunication on the field allowed Boise SS Carlos Penalver to score on a ground out by OF Shawon Dunston, tying the game at 3 to force extra frames.
In the bottom of the 11th, Marcus Greene reached first base on a ground ball with one out. After Saquan Johnson grounded out to first, Garia stepped up to the plate with rain pouring down. Garia, who hit two home runs last night, knocked Matthew Iannazzo's pitch well over the wall for the final score. Garia now has 10 RBI this season.
Cam Schiller had two more hits, one his fifth double of the season, as he collected two more RBI bringing his season total to six - third best on the team.
Kelvin Vasquez got his second start this season, pitching four innings, allowing one run and striking out four batters. Abel De Los Santos (1-0) earned the win after pitching the final three innings, striking out three more batters.
The Indians will host the Vancouver Canadians, the reigning Northwest League champions, for a quick three-game series at Avista Stadium. Tomorrow's game will begin at 6:30 PM.

"A book for girls being wanted by a certain publisher, she hastily scribbled a little story describing a few scenes and adventures in the lives of herself and sisters - though boys were more in her line - and with very slight hopes of success sent it out to seek its fortune.
Things always went by contraries with Jo. Her first book, labored over for years, and launched full of the high hopes and ambitious dreams of youth, floundered on its voyage, though the wreck continued to float long afterward, to the profit of the publisher at least. The hastily written story, sent away with no thought beyond the few dollars it might bring, sailed with a fair wind and a wise pilot at the helm into public favor, and came home heavily laden with an unexpected cargo of gold and glory."So Louisa May Alcott vicariously describes the story behind the publication of the book that made her a celebrity overnight with an instant success most authors never dare to dream of. Alcott never intended, however, for Little Women to be her magnum opus; she only needed a little money. Isn't irony wonderful? The novel was published in two volumes in 1868-1869.Little Women is the story of four sisters, modeled after Alcott and her own, whose once-prosperous New England family has fallen into genteel poverty. Now all young teenagers, the book chronicles their various small attempts to cope with their newly reduced status, get along with each other and just generally grow up while their father is away during The American Civil War. The March sisters are:

Saint Nilus the Younger
- Nilus of Calabria
- Nilus of Rossano
- Nilo….
Son of Greek immigrants to Italy. He led a wild and mis-spent youth, eventually finding work as a treasury official. Believed to have been married, and certainly the father of one daughter. In quick succession, his wife died, his daughter died, and Nilus suffered a life-threatening illness; all this at the age of 30 led to a conversion, and his life's work proved it was a true conversion. Basilian monk at the abbey of Saint Adrian in Calabria, Italy. Fluent in Greek and Latin. Hymnographer. Lived sometimes as a hermit, and sometimes he travelled from one monastery to another. Supported Pope Gregory V when he was driven out of Rome, then opposed him when Gregory and Emperor Otto III when they used excessive force against the forces of the anti-pope. Abbot of Saint Adrian. In 981 the invading Saracens drove the monks into exile at Vellelucio. On his deathbed, Nilus proclaimed Vellelucio to be the new home city for the abbey, and the house of Grottaferrata has been there since. Spiritual director of Saint Bartholomew of Rossano.

LONDON and NEW YORK, July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The expected growth in the APAC wound care market can be attributed to an expanding population and high prevalence of chronic wounds due to diabetic ulcers, arterial ulcers, etc. Growing confidence of physicians in NPWT technology and patient awareness are also among the major driving forces for this market. Further, the market is poised to grow due to high-growth portable NPWT systems which have been recently approved in Japan and Australia.
The APAC region is one of the most attractive markets as it covers both developed and developing economies with high potential. Among developed nations, Japan has become a key market in the region after the 2010 reimbursement approval for NPWT. In Australia, the rate of amputation due to diabetes is higher compared with some developed countries and there has been a 30 per cent increase in the number of diabetic-foot amputations in the last decade. While amongst emerging economies, China and India represent a big opportunity for the NPWT market because of high population growth, underserved patients and an outburst of diabetes and related complications.
However, the NPWT market in the continent has not reached its full potential due to lack of awareness, high costs of procedure and consumables followed by a lack of availability. Additionally, there is a shortage of trained practitioners who can handle life-threatening complications, such as bleeding associated with NPWT use. Further, the market is restrained by its limitation of use on actively infected wounds, undrained and malignant wounds, tissue necrosis and fistulas. Moreover, growth in the Indo-China market is limited by the use of assembled NPWT systems which are much cheaper and therefore widely used over branded products.
The recently published strategic market report by ABMRG, "APAC NPWT and NPWT Consumables Market through 2019 - Strategic Business Report", analyzes the NPWT and consumables market for the continent and individual countries-Japan, Australia, India and China. It reviews historical trends and forecasts (2005-2019) the annualized trends for sales in terms of value and volume, market growth, pricing (Average Selling Price or ASP), competitive landscape, market share, market drivers and restrains. It offers a cross-category comparison for the historical and forecast period. It also provides global industry developments for the last two years, including M&As, partnerships, clinical studies, pipeline, product approvals and launches, recalls and litigations, market dynamics, market drivers and restraints.
Reasons to buy:
- Analyze the market, business environment and growth opportunities.
- Formulate market and business strategies based on market trends, market drivers, market restraints and challenges in the APAC NPWT and consumables market.
- Frame competitive product launch and product strategies based on competitive landscape in APAC and individual countries.
- Design capital investment strategies based on forecast high potential segments.
- Capitalize opportunities in high-growth geographies and attractive markets.
- Identify in-licensing and out-licensing opportunities, and recognize potential business partners and M&A targets.

Meyer G Series Alto Saxophone MouthpieceThe Meyer G Series Alto Saxophone Mouthpiece is designed to reproduce the size and style of mouthpiece chamber and tip opening to achieve the sound of great saxophonists of the past.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I have a handpicked Meyer 6 small chamber from 1978. Great "pop" to the "happy" sound on my 1960 Mark VI alto. I recently purchased a Jody Jazz metal 7* DV CHI for my tenor and love the open feel it gives me, so I wanted the same on my alto. I could not spend the $ on a metal DV alto so I tried a Jody Jazz HR 7, but it did not have what I was looking for. A little stuffy for me with not enough crackle in the sound, so after reading reviews I decided to try this and step up to the 7. Thanks Alan Merrihew. This is working for me. More open, crisp, round and full sound and I can't believe how hard I can push it. Where my old Meyer 6 would say "that's all I got" this one keeps giving me more with no drop in sound quality. You can play soft on it too. Great response top to bottom. Don't know why the facings change the price so much...just so happens I was looking to open things up a bit more and this one does it for me.
The title says it all. Easily one of the best mouthpieces I've ever played on, and for under $100. It beats my Link out of the park.
This piece is extremely versatile, and you can get a ton of different tones out of it just by varying your reed/ligature setup. The 5 lay is really free-blowing, much like the vintage Meyer pieces. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a great jazz mouthpiece on a budget.
I had a Meyer Bros. 5M that I had to sell and really missed the sound and response I got from that mouthpiece. I bought a 5M G series and I really like it. I think I like it better than my Meyer Bros. It's slightly brighter but it's still dark and I have to push a little more but its screams. And that's what I like about it. It has good response and good intonation. I probably should've gotten a 6 but I'm good with it. I'm using a Mark VI 129k with the J bow and Lavoz reeds med. Selmer lig.
I tested out the Meyer Richie Cole Alto, Meyer G Series 5M Alto, and the Yanagisawa Hard Rubber Alto #5 mouthpieces. I chose the Meyer G Series 5M since it is the closest thing to my 1972 vintage Meyer 5M that I have played for all these years. It is almost, but not quite as good as my vintage Meyer mouthpiece but so close I figure after a while it be great. Mouthpieces are very subjective however based on so many factors like reed, ligature,the person, etc.
i played a Vandoren Jumbo Java for years. I loved the sound, the loudness, the way I could cut through the band. But then I heard several recordings and realized my intonation was all over the place. So I finally tried a few- Bechler Diamond Inlay, Vandoren Java, V16. Then I tried the Meyer G. Free blowing like the Jumbo J. Excellent high to low registers. Just enough darkness and overtones and projection.Not as loud as the Jumbo, but thats what microphones are for. Much easier to play softly. i use Hemke 2.5 reads.

2011 holiday collection is here!
I really appreciate all the emails I have received inquiring about my holiday cards and am happy to announce that the 2011 Toast & Laurel Holiday Collection is here! The overall feel of collection is bright, crisp & festive. Each design is one I would send as my own holiday card, and I hope you all love them as much as I do!
In addition to holiday photo cards, the collection also includes coordinating gift tags and return address stamps. The return address stamps were very popular last year, and I am excited to see what you all think about the brand new gift tag designs! I already use them when wrapping gifts and think they will look adorable tied around wine bottles or other hostess gifts. One client of mine is going to personalize the tags to use as moving announcements (tied with striped twine around their holiday cards) and another as part of her holiday decor.
Here are a few more images from the collection . . .

In 2008, average pay for civilian workers in the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, California, metropolitan area was 19 percent above the national average. Average pay in the New York-Newark-Bridgeport, New York-New Jersey-Connecticut-Pennsylvania metropolitan area was 14 percent above the national average.
The Brownsville-Harlingen, Texas, metropolitan area had a pay relative of 77, meaning workers earned an average of 77 cents for every dollar earned by workers nationwide. In the Johnstown, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area workers earned an average of 85 cents for every dollar earned by workers nationwide.
Using data from the National Compensation Survey, pay relatives—a means of assessing pay differences—are available for each of the nine major occupational groups within surveyed metropolitan areas, as well as averaged across all occupations for each area. They are available at www.bls.gov/ncs/ocs/payrel.htm.
These data are from the BLS National Compensation Survey program. Learn more in "Occupational pay comparisons among metropolitan areas, 2008" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL 09-0843.

The Witcher 2 Delayed Until May 2011There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is that developer CD Projekt RED now has a specific release date in mind for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. The bad news is that it's May 17, 2011--some two months after the planned March 2011 launch the PC RPG sequel was said to still be on track for as recently as October.
"We've decided to move the launch date back a few weeks to afford us more time to polish the game," project lead Adam Badowski said in the announcement. "Of course, we know that players would like to get the game as soon as possible, so we hope that they will forgive us! We strongly believe that the extra time spent polishing the title will be well worth the wait." So polite, those Europeans.
More details on topics including a Collector's Edition, pre-orders, DRM and the launch will be revealed during CD Projekt's fall conference on Thursday, November 18. The shindig will be broadcast online through The Witcher's website for all to see. Hopefully the DRM will follow RED's own respectable and reasonable DRM policy.
There's still no firm ruling from RED on The Witcher 2's potential console release.

Those three wins haven't exactly been impressive, though.

A Castro Valley burger joint is giving Super Bowl fans a way to vote with their bellies this week.
Boulevard Burgers has created two HARBurgers -- one each for brothers Jim and John Harbaugh who, respectively, coach the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.
In this video restaurant manager Jesse Bitting describes the two diet-busting creations that are named the San Francisco Jim-Bo and the Baltimore Johnny Boy.
Each costs $9.95. No one has dared count calories.
But Bitting says he'll keep track of sales this week so we can tell whether the home-town Jim-Bo or the rival Johnny Boy have the greatest appeal.

Barron's And Goldman Sachs Say Buy Bank Of America
Bret Jensen • Sun, Sep. 21 • 62 Comments
- The sentiment on Bank of America has grown increasingly positive since it settled mortgage litigation with the federal government.
- Recently Goldman Sachs and Barron's have chimed in on how the bank's underlying business fundamentals are improving and why the shares are undervalued.
- I believe the recent uptrend in the stock will continue for myriad reasons. Why I think the shares hit $25 a share over the next two years is profiled below.

The Jackson County prosecutor charged 33-year-old Toryne M. Sanders in connection to Thursday's school bus crash.
Sanders faces a felony count of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident with injuries and another count of driving with a revoked license.
He was taken by ambulance from his father's house at 72nd Street and Bales Avenue just before 8 p.m. Thursday, more than three hours after and only six blocks from the site of the wreck.
According to court documents, while at the hospital Sanders "spontaneously uttered to the officer, 'I did not mean to hit that bus. I got four kids. I do not want to hurt any kids.'"
The students on board the school bus that flipped over on its side during the crash managed to avoid serious injury Thursday afternoon.
At least one adult was injured in the crash between the school bus and one other vehicle. Police said the driver of a red passenger car ran a stop sign and collided with the bus. Authorities said the driver who caused the crash fled on foot, and police launched a massive search to find him. The search lasted about three hours.
The First Student bus was transporting five Kansas City School District students, a bus driver and a bus monitor when the crash happened about 4:45 p.m. The crash occurred in a residential neighborhood at 67th Street and Askew Avenue.
The force of the crash left the bus on its side. The red passenger vehicle, whose front end was smashed, came to rest on a nearby sidewalk.
"Roger ran over there and I got on the phone with 911 and said, 'get some people out here, I mean big time,'" witness Donald Davidson said.
Davidson saw the bus flip and several people ran to help.
An official with Kansas City Public Schools said five students from Success Academy at Knotts - an alternative elementary school that serves grades K-6 - were on the bus at the time, but none were seriously injured. All students were treated at the scene.
"One had a little cut. The rest of them, they were pretty cool. One of them was a little hysterical but, other than that, it was pretty all right," witness Ricardo Herron said.
Lashiran Whitmire was on board. She crawled out with just a scratch and her heart racing.
"I thought I was going to die. I was so scared," she said.
Makwon James, 7, left with an inflated surgical glove standing in for a balloon. He suffered the worst injury and needed a stitch or two for a cut on his head. The doctor also told his parents he could have a concussion.
"The bus flipped twice and I got a cut," Makwon said.
"I'm just glad and thank God that all the kids are OK, because that's a force of ... to turn a bus over with one car," his dad, Malcolm James said. "He (Makwon) was very extra sleepy, his eyes were pretty red and droopy."
Witnesses said the driver of the red car appeared injured but didn't stick around to see if the children were OK.
"Guy started going down the street and one guy tried to stop him, and he went down the street and left a trail of red down there," Davidson said.
Police had a chopper and police dog searching for almost two hours and didn't find him.
Kansas City Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Stephen Green arrived as soon as he heard the news. He said he's thankful those on the bus weren't more seriously hurt.
"Considering the circumstances, unfortunately we had the accident, but the good news is that the five students who were on the bus and the adults - the bus monitor and the bus driver - emerged safely from this," he said. "The one student had a scratch over his eye and one stitch was required, but that was very minor."
Green said school officials were taking students home whose parents were not able to come to the scene and pick them up directly.
Police said Sanders' family called for an ambulance after he arrived home with serious head and chest injuries. His father said it was the bus that had the stop sign and said his son wasn't trying to escape anything, but had been wandering, disoriented for hours.
The suspect's father said his son suffered a serious head injury and collapsed lung in the crash, which required medical treatment.
The man's family called a bail bondsman after he arrived home. The bondsman called for an ambulance once he saw the extent of the man's injuries.
Court records also said that, while later being interviewed by police, Sanders told them he had been working on a house with his father prior to the wreck. A female friend showed up at the house and some sort of a disturbance took place.
Sanders told police he drove off from the house to try to get away from the woman. He acknowledged that he knew he was driving too fast for the residential neighborhood, but couldn't stop fast enough when he saw the school bus in front of him.
According to court records, he has seven prior convictions for driving with a revoked license and/or suspended license and seven previous convictions for operating a motor vehicle without a valid license.
Now knowing that record, Makwon's parents said Sanders needs to be held accountable for a situation that could have been much worse.
"All the kids could have gotten hurt really, really bad. But thank God, they walked away from it, with scrapes and bruises," Kathy James, Makwon's mom, said.
Prosecutors asked that Sanders' bond be set at $50,000, 10 percent.
Inspection records on the school bus show it was owned and operated by First Student and it passed all inspections and was approved with no defective items the past four years.
An experienced accident investigator told KCTV5 that, while accidents involving school buses look bad, school buses are very safe. The problem is they have a high center of mass relative to their wheel base so, if they are hit on the side, it's hard to keep them from flipping over.

Let us re-visit the idea of airship (lighter than air) transport. The scale of fast and dirty jet transport is unsustainable
The idea of using large lighter than air dirigibles was thrown
out thanks mainly to bad publicity from one crash. The Hindenberg flew safely until it's spectacular crash in 1937 scared the world into abandoning the whole idea of airships.
I think this was a big mistake and has left the cheapest and most efficient lifting gas, Hydrogen, with a undeserved bad reputation.
With today's technology and materials it would be relatively easy to build a modern airship using hydrogen as the main lifting gas with extreme safety even by today's standards.
My ideas for design include the following features and their benefits.
1. Solar panels cover the top half of the airship and provide power to run motors for propulsion, power to crack water to supply the hydrogen and oxygen for other uses or for passengers and crew to aid breathing at altitude.
Advantages; free fuel, excess oxygen returned to atmosphere.
2. A rain collection gutter around the equator of the airship to collect water which is then used for ballast, electrolysis, and passenger/crew needs.
Advantages; no resupply of consumables except food and luxuries.
3. The hydrogen compartments are sealed inside slightly larger compartments that are filled with helium, nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
Advantages; Less possibility of igniting the hydrogen. The ratio of hydrogen to the inert gas can be altered by compressing or releasing one or both to allow buoyancy adjustment (amount of lift, and change of pressure altitude).
4. Airships can be used for many other purposes than passenger carrying. They can lift large weights and deposit them in remote locations that only helicopters can get to.
5. There may even be no need to land (especially in bad weather) if passengers and supplies are ferried to the airship by helicopter which could land on top of the airship to unload.
Closing Statement from Gilbert Griffith
I am disappointed.
Especially with the number of criticisms based on subjects I was not specifically addressing.
For instance Vincent DeVillier safety (as do others) of a highly explosive gas, hydrogen, ignoring the highly inflammable nature of jet fuel used today.
Similarly, speed was not a significant part of my proposal.
Also, many people referred to the past performance of airships as an obstacle to their re-introduction. Perhaps forgetting the early years of aviation, the mistakes made, and many lives lost.
Some contributors suggested other forms of transport as a subject, I invite them to start their own discussions, I too would like to see trains powered by solar and more of them than present rail lines can carry, ie. more rail lines everywhere.
The thrust of my ideas were for sustainable transport and delivery.
I predict that in not so many years hydrocarbon fuels will run out or become hideously expensive.
Twenty years ago I was advising friends to "get out of the car manufacturing industry". It is failing here in Australia and already the roads are often clogged, and people suffering. I live in country Victoria for the fresh air and find Melbourne smog discomforting after a few days there. Drivers using mobile phones are a deadly menace!
No matter what form transport of the future takes, people are going to die from it, accidentally or due to the ineptness of drunks, the drugged or ignorant will continue to support the road toll and air crashes. So there is no reason to discard the idea of airships because of past accidents that were sensationalized.
The main problem I can see involves money. The start up involves so much that lawyers and crooks can stop a project in it's tracks. Others whom I call "bleeding hearts" will shout out that the money could be used to help the poor and starving, and to save lives. Don't get me started! All they have done is to create bigger problems.

Amos Schrum
Jun 22 2013: Maybe you should start a discussion on transportation by train. Like how are you going to get from China to South America by train. How about a solar powered train?
This discussion is about sustainable air transport and payload delivery only where other forms won't work at all and for when the fuel runs out.

With the Stanley Cup playoffs quickly approaching, TSN.ca can't help but look back fondly on a regular season that included some of the best plays in recent years. Jaw-dropping saves, brilliant passing plays and electrifying goals – the 2008/09 season has had it all.
With that in mind, TSN.ca needs you, the NHL fan, to help crown this season's NHL Play of the Year. Over the next little while, TSN.ca will unveil the top 20 plays of the season and have you choose which plays will advance and ultimately crown the Play of the Year.
We begin with a bang and a pool that includes two Russian superstars, a super-rookie, Captain Canada and a sneaky-talented forward.
Watch the video, use the poll to vote for your favourite play and be sure to check out the bracket below for the complete picture.
Don't forget to make your comments heard with the TSN.ca Your Call feature below.
February 18, 2009 Verizon Center, Washington, D.C.
If Superman played hockey, would he score goals like Alex Ovechkin? With this goal against the Canadiens, the Russian sniper transcended from mere superstar to, as NHL on TSN analyst Pierre McGuire insists, superhuman. Watch the video to see how Alex Ovechkin earned a permanent place in the highlight reels.
December 21, 2008 Scottrade Centre, St. Louis, Missouri
It's always been said that there is no "I" in team, but perhaps somebody should have asked Boston Bruins rookie forward Blake Wheeler before he burned the St. Louis Blues. Wheeler takes on four Blues defenders all by himself to complete one of the best individual plays of the season.
November 2, 2008Phillips Arena, Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta might not be the biggest hockey market, but Thrashers sniper Ilya Kovalchuk is one of the NHL's biggest stars. His outstanding effort on this goal begs to be noticed and epitomizes what makes Kovalchuk one of the truly special players in the league.
October 15, 2008United Center, Chicago, Illinois
Don't make the mistake of underestimating Blackhawks' Martin Havlat. The Czech forward is one of the most skilled players in the league and when he turns it on, get out of the way because you will get embarrassed. Something the Phoenix Coyotes learned the hard way.
October 20, 2008Staples Center, Los Angeles, California
At first glance, Ryan Smyth appears to be an odd fit among the candidates for Play of the Year considering his workmanlike style. But, this emphatic "Welcome to the NHL" moment Smyth delivers on Kings rookie defender Drew Doughty deserves recognition.
