Winchester has introduced a new, no-nonsense varmint and predator ammo line at SHOT Show 2013. Varmint X Ammo comes with brass shell cases and charcoal-colored, polymer-tipped bullets for supreme long-distance accuracy and rapid expansion. Varmint X Ammo will be offered in .204 Ruger, .223 Rem., .22-250 Rem. and .243 Win., and will be available to customers in the coming weeks, right in time for coyote hunting season. For more information on Winchester's new Varmint X Ammo check out the video below, or visit Winchester.com.
RAM has long been known for being a supporter of the shooting and hunting sports, and now the company is offering customers a great option for safely transporting guns and gear to the field with the RAM Box. RAM showed off its line on the SHOT Show 2013 floor. To get a look at the trucks—and the powerful engines that keep them going—watch the video below or check out AmericanHunter.org/OpeningDay.
Leica introduced the revolutionary Geovid HD-B Laser-Range Finding Binocular at SHOT Show 2013. The binoculars use the Perger Porro prism system, an updated ergonomic bridge construction, and a laser rangefinder with a multifunction ballistic computer to deliver high-quality optical performance. It's extremely simple to upload the ballistic information to the microSD memory card, made even easier by accessing the internal database of the card that contains practically all standard caliber ammunition's ballistic curves.
Otis has unveiled its new Upland Wingshooter Cleaning System, designed specifically for 12-, 20- and 28-gauge shotguns. This kit has everything you need to perform field maintenance on your gun, and is a great choice for any bird hunter in the field. If your shotgun ends up in the dirt, this cleaning kit will be just the ticket to get back to an upland hunt faster.
FoodSaver has introduced four new specialty sealing bags for 2013: the Heavy Duty Heat-Seal Rolls, DAM Bags, Expandable Pleated Heat-Seal Rolls and the Portion Heat Seal Rolls. Heavy Duty Heat-Seal rolls are designed specifically for vacuum sealing various sizes of fish and game. These bags block air 40 percent better, are 30 percent stronger, and have twice the puncture resistance of a standard bag.
FoodSaver is releasing its newest products with the GameSaver Silver and Bronze. The GameSaver Silver G500 seals your game or fish, in the field or at home. The 15-foot, 12-volt adaptor cord and 6-foot power cord make the Silver G500 perfect for when your in the car, or on a boat. The GameSaver Bronze G300 sealing system comes in a Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity camo pattern, and is convenient to store. These machines keep food fresh five times longer than traditional storage methods.
Weaver Optics introduces the newly designed Grand Slam Scopes. These scopes have been redefined with new smooth lines. The scope rings are also updated, and match the scope as well. The aluminum eye-piece is solid enough for use with a gloved hand. The inside of the scope has a micro-track adjustment system that will not give up your reticle. This new and improved series has 11 different models to choose from.
Camp Chef has again redefined the art of outdoor cooking with the introduction of the new Italia Artisan Pizza Oven. The accessory oven is built to fit most three-burner Camp Chef stoves, is ready to use out of the box, and enables heating the oven to appropriate cooking temperatures for perfect handmade pizza right in hunting camp.
There's now a version of Winchester's popular Super X Pump shotgun tailored specifically to the needs of waterfowl hunters. The Super X Pump "Waterfowl Hunter" shotgun features Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Blades camouflage and is available with a 3-inch or 3 1/2-inch 12-gauge chamber. Barrel options include 26 or 28 inches.
For those duck hunters who appreciate the look and feel of a double-barrel in the blind, Stoeger unveils the Longfowler shotgun line. An over/under and side-by-side will be available, both of which will sport 30-inch barrels—a classic size for double-barrel fowling piece. The wood stocks are coated with a weather-resistant finish, while the barrels and receivers are a matte black.

Question by Sarah 14 37 · Oct 29 '11 at 10:36 PM · holidays cheats
How do you prepare for the holidays? Do you just treat them as any other day and don't indulge at all?
Or will you allow yourself a total blitz cheat day with family and friends?
Or do you allow yourself one or two small and very intentional cheats?
(I know I will have egg nog around, because I tolerate dairy and sugar but NOT gluten. And we'll probably have some paleo baked goods I normally don't make too often and I will likely make some gluten free pumpkin pancakes Christmas morning, because it's tradition.)
How do you folks deal with the holidays?

Answer by January 3556 · Oct 29 '11 at 10:56 PM
Total Blitz Cheat. I'll be doing all of them. Pumpkin pie (home made), strawberry shortcake (home made), stuffing (my mom's, to die for), cranberry sauce (also mom's home made) -- gluten and sugar til I'm comatose. It'll lay me out for days. Don't care. For Turkey Day and Xmas with my family, it's totally worth it. Besides, they all know what I normally eat now, so they'll get a good laugh out of watching me swell up and keel over. :)
Answer by Eric 12 22700 · Oct 29 '11 at 10:48 PM
Vanilla Ice Cream.
Answer by Jackie 4 4771 · Oct 29 '11 at 10:49 PM
A flourless chocolate cake from my favorite french bakery! It has dairy in the ganache, sugar of course, but it is so satiating that most of it gets frozen and saved for little bites here and there. That and French Macaron - sugar, but also a small one is very satisfying. Probably just for Xmas and Thanksgiving. Other than that, I think I can stick to my status quo.
Answer by sage_ 10585 · Oct 29 '11 at 11:16 PM
maybe some bean chili.
other than that, the things i might eat that i normally wouldn't would be dishes that require a lot of prep. so maybe a quiche with a bacon crust and bearnaise sauce. or some coconut flour pancakes. or a squash pie with an almond crust.
there will be no ingredients that make me say ouch; that is my christmas gift to me.
Answer by Kewpie 6916 · Oct 29 '11 at 11:25 PM
I'm actually pretty lucky because my parents are locavores, so other than gluten and a couple of sugary desserts there isn't much I would need to avoid and plenty for me to eat. There's never much processed food around; almost everything is homemade from home grown or locally grown products. The meals themselves will likely be pretty paleo except for the rolls and stuffing (Thanksgiving only). My mother would sooner die than put marshmallows on her sweet potatoes or make one of those fried onion topped green bean casseroles. But, I'll probably give in on my mom's stuffing (I don't have any serious gluten sensitivities). It's what Thanksgiving tastes like to me. I can skip the rolls no problem.
As far as desserts go, I'll probably indulge in one for each holiday. I should be able to stay gluten-free on those. I can have pumpkin custard (no crust) with freshly whipped cream on Thanksgiving and at Christmas there is always homemade fudge and dark chocolate truffles among all the cookies.
Fortunately, if I do decide to be stricter with myself no one will say anything. There are a lot of different diets represented around the table and we don't really have any food pushers in the family. You can easily skip dessert with a claim of "I'm full". No one would ever doubt it, lol.
Answer by Beth-WeightMaven 15491 · Oct 29 '11 at 11:41 PM
I'm going to relax my regular food rules but not go too nuts (kinda like intermittent moderation ;). Those considering the "total blitz cheat" approach might find Martin Berkhan's Cheat Day Strategies For A Hedonist useful.
Great article! I usually use this set up and his alcohol diet strategy when I'm drinking.http:/ /www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html
Answer by Phazo 2961 · Oct 30 '11 at 02:18 AM
I'll only eat it if a.) there's no vegetable oils involved and b.) it was made with T.L.C.
Answer by mari 7540 · Oct 30 '11 at 03:18 AM
hot chocolate!! With excessive whipped cream of course.
Answer by Kasra 47 · Oct 30 '11 at 05:55 AM
Why cheat when you can eat meat
Answer by Anonymous 4 31 · Oct 30 '11 at 08:41 AM
Very little. I drink a protein shake like 15 minutes prior to going to any restaurants and/or so called big family dinners. By the time the meal starts, I'm already full.

The report, by the National Secular Society (NSS), calls on the Government to introduce a stricter code of conduct to prevent visiting groups "proselytising" during RE lessons.
The report claims that the squeezing of RE in the curriculum and the absence of trained RE teachers has created an "open door" for evangelical groups to push creationism and their own brand of sex education.
Head teachers' leaders warned that "a line is crossed" when religious theories such as creationism were taught as if they were scientific theories. However, groups named in the report were quick to deny any suggestion they were "proselytising". The report says: "The low priority given to RE and collective worship in many schools, combined with the short supply of qualified RE teachers and general pressure to provide sufficient teaching hours provides an ideal environment for evangelical groups to exploit."
"As one Christian organisation that provides assemblies states on its website; 'Meeting the standards set down by the Government on collective Christian Worship and Religious Education can become an extra burden in a busy teacher's day – the Assembly Angels are here to help'."

People fret because they see a 'lack of plan' or a poorly executed plan in the making.
Obviously the people who thought Haley was a bad fit the minute they hired him were wrong.
Tomlin IS spot on with his line... look at this board. Bunch of guys whining and crying about next season and it's only March. No matter what he says you guys will rip him because Steeler fans are a spoiled bunch.
I don't see where his statement was cocky, all he said was see us in the fall not in March. He didn't proclaim the Steelers will be a super Bowl team, he just said what you see now may not be what you see in the fall is how I took it.

NFL Notes: Patriots backs set due to Fears factor - 0 Comments
Naturally, Shane Vereen deserves a lot of credit for coming in cold last week and basically taking over the plays that were designated for Danny Woodhead in the game plan against the Texans.
Vereen, who probably didn't see many snaps with the first team during practice, made the most of the opportunity, with 124 all-purpose yards.

Arizona has been and continues to be important to the exploration and understanding of planet Mars. Leading scientists at Arizona State University, University of Arizona, and the USGS Astrogeology Science Center in Flagstaff continually use the unique terrain of the Southwest in their research as a Mars analog. Join Danny Foley, ASU geologist who has worked on the Mars Rover mission and other Mars research projects, as he discusses the geology and exploration of a planet that has canyons that could stretch from New York to Los Angeles and a volcano almost three times as high as Mt. Everest.

Hello all,
I had my second 3-month CT scan yesterday morning (not without the usual complications
Wonderful, wonder news Sue. I swear I have been waiting to hear your report and I have been checking back so many times, I swear it was almost like stalking!!! Your doctor sounds wonderful and I am so glad she took the time to explain things to you. I am sure it made you feel so much better to have a deeper understanding.
I see you are from Indiana. I was born in Bloomington and was raised on Bobby Knight basketball--even after we moved away when I was 5. My grandparents are actually from Nebraska and so I havent been back to Bloomington in about 15 years. Though I have vague memories of it from childhood particularly about getting ice cream from the Penguin(?).
I am just smiling right now. I hope that our present good luck rubs off on some of the others. Take care.
Sounds good Sue! What a dream to have a great Doc!
By the way, my Mum also suffered pain around the ribs, where she'd had the op. Seems normal. She just took paracetomol to help.
Hope the discussion with the radiologist brings continued ggood news!

Sustainable development
Nearing zero waste to landfill
In 2004, 17% of the solid waste such as cardboard, paper, plastic, PET bottles, wood pallets, Aluminium cans, paper and plastic bags and metals various, produced at Cervecería Nacional's brewery in Panama was sent to municipal solid waste landfills.
With a target to achieve 0% of waste being sent to landfill, Cervecería Nacional embarked on a campaign to further reduce, reuse and recycle the waste produced by their brewery. This began with an inventory of the brewery which helped to identify the recyclable potential of waste produced. This helped to reveal the quantities, the types of wasted product, the size and the site for collection of the materials.

The Female Element of the Impressionist Movement Explored during "The Singular Life of Berthe Morisot" March 16 at the Clark
For Immediate Release
February 23, 2006
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's "Artist Café" series, celebrating the lives of famous artists, continues on Thursday, March 16. The evenings feature an informal talk by assistant curator of education Danielle Steinmann, a different signature drink inspired by the artist's birthplace, and a cash bar and light snacks. The admission price includes one drink. Held from 6 to 8 pm, the evening also includes social time and gallery viewing. Tickets are $15 per talk ($12 for members) and may be reserved by calling the Clark box office at 413-458-0524 or purchased at the door.
March 16 features "The Singular Life of Berthe Morisot." In this installment of the series, get the scoop on the unique life of this founding member of the Impressionist movement.

Instead, she used her talents to illustrate her world, one that her male counterparts could not have entered. Get to know Morisot during the lecture and visit the galleries to view two of her works and works by other Impressionists such as Renoir, Monet, and Pissarro.
Concluding the series will be "The Atmospheric Life of Claude Monet" on Thursday, April 20.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August).

When the announcement is made that a trade show or conference program is going overseas and it's your baby, the first question is usually, "Why me?" The second question should be, "Where in the world do I get started?"
If trade show organization or participation is your responsibility, your questions might concern the venue, contractors, rules and regs, and getting your "stuff" there. Conference organizers see yellow flagsin learning about the meeting facility, audiovisual suppliers, signage, and printing- production challenges. You need to find a local (overseas) advisor who can steer you around the land mines and to the most reliable stand builder, AV technician, or knowledgeable exposition/congress guru. But there are plenty of qualified people ready to help you, and the problem is more likely to be deciding whom to listen to and whom to ignore as the advice comes rushing in via fax and e-mail.
Start at Home Because they are literally everywhere in the world, the U.S. government's representatives abroad are a logical starting place. Every American embassy and most consulates have a resident commercial officer who is part of the U.S. Commercial Service (the overseas arm of the U.S. Department of Commerce). Part of his or her mission is to know the local business landscape and that involves familiarity with trade shows, trade show venues, and exhibition organizers. The commercial officer certainly will know the convention/congress centers, hotels, or resort destinations qualified to accommodate your meeting.
How can you find the U.S. Embassy or Consulate that serves your destination? Call the local Department of Commerce District Office. You can look on the World Wide Web at Department of State's Web site, www.state.gov/www/guide.html/, or at www.doc.gov/.
And Look Abroad Consider contacting the Union des Foires International (UFI), the worldwide certification agency for trade fairs (fax: 33-1-42 27 19 29). Headquartered in Paris, UFI has a membership that includes most of the more important trade shows around the world. The UFI can put you touch with show organizers, hall owners, and contractors on all five continents.
If organizing a congress is your assignment, Meeting Professionals International, headquartered in Dallas (fax: 972/702-3070), should be high on your contact list, followed by the International Association of Professional Congress Organizers, with its main office in Brussels (fax: 32-2-640-4731). The InterEXPO Secretariat in The Hague (fax: 31-7-347-5071) will gladly steer you to any of its 24 members in 20 different countries, all specialists in organizing national pavilions or solo trade show presentations. You can also get valuable assistance from the chamber of commerce of the destination country and/or city; the airline, and the stateside embassy or national trade office.
The European association of stand contractors, called the International Federation of Exhibition Services, near Brussels (fax: 32-2-378-1275), can suggest competent suppliers of your display and presentation needs. Another essential player on your meeting or trade show planning team is the freight-forwarder. The International Exhibition Logistics Association has headquarters in Geneva and members around the world (tel: 41-22-43 88 00).
Virtually every geographical region and subdivision is represented by an agency or association dedicated to attracting your attention and winning your conference. To name a few: The European Federation of Conference Towns in Brussels: (fax: 32-2-735-4840); the Confederation of Latin American Associations of Congress Organisers in Buenos Aires (fax: 54-1-382-5560); the Association Internationale des Palais de Congres in Lisbon (fax: 351-1-360-1463), and the Meetings Industry Association of Australia (fax: 61-2-9904 9933). Among the best organized groups set up to assist meeting and exhibition planners is the Singapore Association of Convention and Exhibition Organisers and Suppliers (fax: 65-273-1358).
When contacting an overseas source, be particularly attuned to the possibility for misunderstanding. The usual caveats apply: Use simple declarative sentences, and avoid "Americanisms," sports references, political allusions, or double entendres. Give your correspondent as much preliminary information as possible.
Yet, given all these possible sources of information, I have found that the best and most reliable source of local information is one's association memberin the venue you are focusing on. Lacking a local member, a sister organization can fill this role.

But with all the knife styles, sizes and blades circulating in the culinary world, what does a home cook really need to accomplish a variety of tasks without crowding counters and drawers?
"The three basic knives anybody needs are an 8-inch chef's knife, a bread knife and a paring knife," said Donald Davie, the head chef at Effina's Tuscan Grill in Jacksonville.
A chef's knife is the most common of the knife family and can be used for cutting, chopping, dicing and mincing a variety of foods. A serrated bread knife is not used as often, but will help keep loaves of bread from crumbling. A paring knife has a short, narrow blade that is generally used for peeling, trimming and other tasks that are too small for the larger chef knife.
In addition to these basics, Davie says his chef bag contains a 10-inch slicer, 8-inch boning knife used for cleaning fish and a carving knife for cutting large pieces of meat.
"However, a home cook really doesn't need all of those knives in their kitchen." Davie said. "It's unlikely they are going to be fileting a 20-pound fish."
Davie says he sharpens his knives at the restaurant every two weeks. He suggests using a honing steel — the steel rod with a handle found in most knife sets — in the home kitchen.
"It doesn't actually take metal away from the blade, it just hones the blade," Davies said. "If you do that before and after you use the knife it won't need to be sharpened for a long time."
Lacy Smith is the owner of Smith Knives in Jacksonville, where he makes custom cutlery using high-carbon, stainless and Damascus steel. Smith has made culinary knives for people all over the world. For sharpening, he says people use anything from a leather strap to a razor. However, he offers his personal recommendation.
"For a culinary knife, I would suggest doing it on a whetstone," Smith said. "A couple of swipes on the stone are really all you need."
In addition to sharpening, Smith says proper cleaning of the knife has an effect on the life of the knife.
"The main part of upkeep is rinsing it off and drying it off real well," Smith said. "Also, hand rubbing a little bit of olive oil on it before you put it away."
And while the modern kitchen is filled with appliances and gadgets to make cooking easier, be careful when knives are involved.
"The worst thing you can do is put your knife in the dishwasher," Smith said.
Smith also says storage is a crucial part of knife maintenance and advises people to avoid tossing knives in a cramped space.
"It's better to individually store your knife then keep them in a drawer," Smith said. "It's good to have a culinary block or at least a separate box."
While many people are constantly using knives for meal preparation, Smith says they tend to forget about the importance of regular maintenance.
"A lot of people don't think about taking care of and protecting their knives," Smith said. "A blade will stay sharp for a long time if you maintain it well."

The Fulton Avenue Drawbridge between Secor Lane and Edison Avenue in Mount Vernon and Pelham Manor is open to vehicles and pedestrians again as of today.
The bridge has been closed since September due to structural deficiencies detected by work crews. The bridge was kept up and traffic detoured.
Coast Guard regulations require that the waterway be kept accessible for maritime traffic at all times.
This bridge has failed numerous times in the past and on occasion has been closed for as long as six months. Most recently, the bridge was closed for a month during the summer.
The Fulton Avenue Bridge connects Mount Vernon to Route 1 in addition to the area's major retail corridor.

EMSC Targeted Issue Grants
Through the competitive Targeted Issue (TI) grant mechanism, the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Program funds schools of medicines to find new approaches to providing the best possible emergency care for children across the nation. Typically, the projects result in a new product or resource or demonstrate the effectiveness of a model system component or service of value.
In fiscal years 2013, six new TI grants were awarded. All six grants focus solely on pediatric prehospital research, representing one of the largest investments, $5.4 million over three years, in pediatric prehospital research. These newly-funded projects will either demonstrate the ability of EMS systems to conduct pediatric research or seek to improve the quality of care by increasing the base of pediatric prehospital research. The Health Resources and Services Administration's EMSC Targeted Issue Grants, 2013 briefly describes each of the 2013 TI projects.
A Targeted Issue Grants Database is now available. Prospective TI grantees are encouraged to review all previous TI projects and, when possible, build upon prior grantees' work to increase the depth and breadth of pediatric emergency care.

It was well after regular business hours, and my partner and I had barely spoken since the night before. It had been another extremely busy day.
However, we really needed to discuss a few things, so we carved out some time to sit down together and plan upcoming events.
The next day's calendar was full: both of us were booked with meetings and activities. We needed to work out some logistics.
After the regular give and take, we figured out how we could cover everything. Then we took just a couple of minutes to talk about long-term strategy for our enterprise.
Feeling exhausted, but satisfied that we had dealt with the most pressing concerns of the day, I gave my partner a kiss and trudged off to bed.
Such late-night meetings are fairly routine for "Kratz Family Partners," the organization my wife and I apparently founded when we were married in 1991.
During the last 21 years, we've added four "employees" who act like children most of the time. Probably because they are.
And we've learned that running our family "company" can be resource- and time-consuming to the point that it sometimes feels like we really are just partners trying to run a small business.
That worries both of us, but I think it's fairly common these days.
Can any of you relate to this? With one or both spouses holding down full- or part-time jobs, you're always on the run. Add in children to shuttle to and from school and various extracurricular activities, and the "partners" running your family business may feel like two ships passing in the night.
When you do have time to talk, you're so consumed with figuring out who is going to take which child to what activity that you don't work on building your own relationship.
I admit that my wife and I have had days (sometimes weeks!) like this during our decades of marriage, and it's easy to tell when we've moved too far in that wrong direction. During those times, we seem to be alone together only briefly each day, usually late at night when both of us are tired and barely have enough energy to plan for the next day. We feel like we have too much going on to make time for a date night. And, as a result, we start to lose touch with each other.
The good news is, since we're aware that this can happen, we've been taking steps to make sure it doesn't. Here are a few things we're trying that might work for others.
— Enhance the nightly "business meeting." We still get together for a few minutes at the end of each day to go over the next day's calendar and discuss any burning family issues. But we also use that time to read together and talk about things that aren't related to running "Kratz Family Partners." I freely admit that we do better at this on some nights than on others, but at least we're trying, and I feel like we're seeing the benefits.
— Look for opportunities for "mini-dates." Now that our two oldest daughters can babysit the younger children, my wife and I take advantage of chances to get away together, even if it's only for a few minutes. This might mean driving to the store to pick up a gallon of milk or running a couple of errands. Despite the short time we have together, we've found this to be a good chance to chat about what's going on in our individual lives and our life as a couple.
— Make "date night" a higher priority. We've failed at this for the last month or so, thanks to an end-of-summer vacation and the start of an insanely busy school year. But we generally try to go out together, either alone or with another couple, at least every other week. It's almost impossible to avoid talking about family stuff if we're out to dinner, but we try to make a point of discussing "us," too.

Believe it or not, fantasy hockey is a bit like scuba diving. The threat of sharks is vastly overrated, sometimes there's nothing you can do except hold your breath, and for the enthusiasts, both can provide moments of pause, like when first gazing over the far edge of a reef into the dark blue vastness of the open ocean.
I'm pretty comfortable with my fantasy resources. I visit them regularly and enjoy knowing where to go to get what I need. But for some time now, I've been catching glimpses of something that exists just beyond my carefully constructed hockey neighbourhood. It's obviously large. And it's not like my other sources. It's showing up everywhere, on webpages (this one included), in the middle of online chats, and it's mentioned in the mainstream media.
I'm talking about Twitter.
If you haven't already embraced Twitter, maybe it's time you look beyond your usual resources, because I'm wondering if we're soon going to need it to win our pools.
Have You Two Met? Allow Me to Introduce Twitter…
Twitter launched publically in 2006, and now boasts over 200 million registered users. It's estimated that 65 million 'tweets' (Twitter-speak for messages) are sent daily, and thousands have been published each second during noteworthy events. If you're really not sure what I'm talking about, check out some Twitter basics here.
The social-networking site is perhaps best known for its celebrity users. I've now discovered that none other than Britney Spears is Twitter's most popular tweeter. She blesses her fans with such unforgettable tidbits as, "What's uuupppp tweethearts? Spending the day in the studio recording. – Britney". Fascinating. But sadly, not very useful as far as preparing for our fast approaching draft nights.
Fortunately, the tweeting realm is populated by more than pop-stars and Hollywood celebs. Twitter has become almost indispensible in the sporting world. Many sports media people and others have active Twitter accounts, from the big boys right down to the armchair fanatics who live next door. This season's Yearbook from The Hockey News even has an article about NHL players using Twitter.
When several personalities at Toronto sports radio station, The Fan 590 were recently let go by program director, Don Kollins, he explained his decisions by stating, "I can't move into the new millennium of blogs and twitter with guys who don't get it."
But to be honest, Twitter makes me a bit edgy. Like the empty, open ocean, it's alien to me and it seems like a whole new world to navigate. I'm not sure if I have the time to wade through a long list of potentially conflicting tweets in order to find out if my goalie is starting tonight or not (Don't tell anyone here, but my whole life isn't about fantasy hockey).
Yet, Twitter exists, people are using it, and it's even getting sports media people fired apparently. How long can I ignore it for?
And the paranoid little voices in my head have been building of late. Everyone in your pool is already using it…you're behind….get in the game or you're never going to win again…NE-VERRRRR…
I've yet to wake from a nightmare with a two-story version of Kollins bellowing 'why don't you get it?!', but for a while, every time I saw that damnable Twitter @ symbol while surfing, my left eye started twitching.
Touring Twitter as a Poolie
Despite my concerns, I finally had to check it out. Here are a few things I've learned so far.
First Lesson – You don't need to sign up to get information published using Twitter. For example, you can check out TSN's collection of hockey related tweets here. Or Dobber's own collection here. Or Spector Hockey's.
Second Lesson – It is handy to get your own account since once you have one, you can compile your own list of personalities to follow. Once you've chosen to follow someone, their latest tweets appear on your page – some have described this as 'building a newspaper where every headline is interesting'. If nothing else it's a lot easier than bookmarking every person's Twitter page that you want to follow (I may have tried this, but I'm not admitting to it publically).
Third Lesson – There is a lot of information out there. For example, while wading through the TSN tweets, it quickly became clear that Bob McKenzie is a Twitter addict. It also seems clear to me that a lot of what he's passing on would be of no value to you (mind you it is August). I get the impression that a lot of tweets are like this. I'm not saying that I wasn't interested in a recent post by the Los Angeles Kings' Dustin Brown who tweeted, "Only in Canada can I go in to a watch store and get recognized in a rival teams city.....", but the fantasy impact is obviously minimal.
Fourth Lesson – There is interesting stuff out there. Scott Cullen recently posted "RT @CraigCustance Spoke with an NHL scout yesterday who said N. Horton will score 40 goals this year." For the record, 'RT', means 're-tweet', and so Cullen is reposting something from Sporting News writer, Craig Custance. Well, 40 goals certainly got my attention, but I have no idea who the scout was...a team's head professional scout, a bird-dog just chirping? Custance later tweets that it was indeed a pro scout, and a "well respected guy too." But it's hard to include quality analysis in 140 characters or less.
Fifth Lesson – A lot of what I've found in my (admittedly brief) time so far in the Twitterscape I've also found within my more traditional online resources. Okay, maybe not the Brown quote, but the information that you or I would use to make an informed fantasy decision seems to be available beyond Twitter. However, the information is often available sooner on Twitter. And that can be useful. If you've participated in any of Dobber's draft day, or trade deadline day chats you'll have seen certain people's tweets piped directly into the chat because, particularly during quickly evolving events, Twitter increasingly seems to be the fastest way to get information out there.
Do You Need it to Win? An Early Conclusion (by a Twitter amateur)
Twitter is fun and like most internet success stories it offers compulsive and endless click-throughs, moving from one hockey tidbit to another as fast as your attention span desires. It isn't hard to get into.
Will it help you conquer your pool? Like anything on the internet, if you listen to credible sources you're going to learn useful pieces of information. However, unless you repeatedly find yourself in ultra-time sensitive situations, I doubt Twitter by itself will prove to be a decisive weapon in your quest to be the best this year. Websites that offer news and accompanying analysis will stand you in better stead than even the most complete list of tweets.
But that said, every little bit helps…assuming you've got the time.
Jeremy Wark said:
In terms of making you a better poolie, it really depends on the pool and the participants. If it's cut-throat, then yeah, anyone who gets a step on the competition will benefit - whether it's injury alerts, player signings or starting goalie info.
With iPhones and Blackberrys, you can now make split second decisions with regard to your team and make online changes form anywhere.
I'll definitely have my Blackberry "tweeting" at me during my drafts this season as Euro signings and training camp injuries can have a serious effect on draft success.

Great article Brent. Thanks

I think Twitter helps a lot because a lot of the time you need to have the information faster than the other poolies and Twitter helps you in that way so you can snag that FA before anyone else can. Following the beat writers of different teams is VERY helpful.

SIMCOE COUNTY - Negotiations between high school teachers and the Simcoe County District School Board have been cut off until further notice.
The action, sanctioned by their parent union, the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation, comes after the Ministry of Education refused to give approval to a number of locally bargained tentative agreements, calling them not "substantively identical."
Bargaining unit leaders have been summoned to a special meeting on Monday, Dec. 3 where additional actions specific to collective bargaining and the Bill 115 Fight Back Campaign will be outlined.
Ken Coran, president of OSSTF said, "When Premier McGuinty prorogued the Legislature, he made it impossible to have any further political dialogue on this issue. This government has failed the education workers and citizens of this province and has only succeeded in creating chaos, discontent and an environment of disrespect toward teachers and educational support workers."
Local unit leaders have been requested not to make any public comments until after the Dec. 3 meeting.

The Black Rep Continues Season 33 with Production of Yasmina Reza's ART 5/5 - 5/23
Black Rep to present Art by Yasmina Reza May 5 - 23, 2010, a play which takes a profound look at the nature of friendship.
When well-to-do Serge purchases an expensive painting it causes his best friend to question not only his taste, but his moral fiber as well. What do we really know about our friends and can friendship survive when we discover an unexpected, hard to believe truth about someone we think we know?
Performances schedule is as follows: Thursday performances at 7:00pm, Friday and Saturday performances at 8:00pm, Saturday and Sunday Matinee performances at 3:00pm, and there's a Student Matinee performance May 12, 2010 at 10:00am.
Yasmina Reza was born in Paris on May 1, 1959, of Jewish parents who had immigrated to France. As a girl she had an interest in writing short stories, but later attended the Jacques Lecoq drama school. Ms. Reza began working as an actress in France, but turned to playwriting because she found acting did not intellectually challenge her and she was fed up waiting for juicier roles. "I don't feel writing is my profession, I don't know what is my profession,". This from the award-winning Parisian author of two novels, four plays, a stage adaptation of Kafka's "Metamorphosis," and a major screenplay.
Andrea Frye was last seen in The Black Rep production of Romeo & Juliet as the Nurse, returns to direct. She has worked with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for five seasons as Martha in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Mama Benin in Playboy of the West Indies, Evelyn in Oo-Bla-Dee, Maxine in The Night of the Iguana, Margery and The Widow in The Taming of the Shrew, Martha and Nurse in Stop Kiss, Louise in Seven Guitars, and Cerimon in Pericles, Louise in Seven Guitars (ALLIANCE THEATRE Company, Atlanta); Lucille in The Screened in Porch (Horizon Theatre Company); Sophie in Flyin' West (Alabama Shakespeare Festival); and created Cassie in Sisters (Jomandi Productions, Off-Broadway at the Joyce) and Rosa in Pearl Cleage's Bourbon at the Border. Andrea has received many awards for her work, such as the Drammy Award for Best Director, 2002, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf; Best Director of a Comedy, 2001, Jar the Floor; Woodie Award for Best Director, Blues for an Alabama Sky; Atlanta Journal-Constitution Award for Best Actress, 1996-97and the Fred Astaire Life Achievement Award while a fellow at the American Film Institute. Until Katrina, she served as artist-in-residence in theatre at Dillard University in New Orleans. Andrea also serves as Theatre Consultant for the National Black Arts Festival.
Ron Himes (Serge) most recently portrayed Lord Capulet in The Black Rep's production of Romeo & Juliet. He was a powerful presence in The Black Rep's Gem of the Ocean, which was featured at the 2007 National Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and most recently at the opening of The August Wilson Center in Pittsburgh, PA. Additional credits include King in King Hedley II, Herald Loomis in Joe Turner's Come And Gone, Doaker in the Piano Lesson, Leevee in Ma Rainey's Blackbottom, Booster in Jitney, Elesin Oba in Death and the King's Horseman, Boesman in Boesman and Lena, Banquo in Macbeth, Robert Johnson in Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil, for which he won the Woodie Award for Outstanding Actor in a Lead Role, Blind Jordan in Sty of the Blind Pig, Malcolm X in The Meeting and When The Chickens Come Home to Roost. He created the role of Joe Lee in Conversations On A Dirt Road and Tupelo in Riffs. His acting credits in other St. Louis theatres include The Permanent Collection and The Exonerated at Hot City, The Little Foxes and Miss Evers' Boys at the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis and the General in The MUNY's production of Guys and Dolls. He has appeared as Clarence Thomas in Unquestioned Integrity: The Hill/Thomas Hearings at 7 Stages in Atlanta and in The Black Rep's production of The Meeting at The Kennedy Center for the performing Arts.

Black-bean chipotle layer "pate" with gluten free atole baguette: Daring Cooks June Challenge
The Daring Kitchen is making me nostalgic. People just keep throwing French food challenges my way, and I am forced to long for our short but magical days in the French Riviera. I used to love perusing the local food artisans; I would oogle the food, and I have to admit - this American loved pate. Unfortunately Jason doesn't feel the same way. So, when we got this months Daring Cook's challenge - I had a conundrum.
Our hostesses this month, Evelyne of Cheap Ethnic Eatz, and Valerie of a The Chocolate Bunny, chose delicious pate with freshly baked bread as their June Daring Cook's challenge! They've provided us with 4 different pate recipes to choose from and are allowing us to go wild with our homemade bread choice.
Did I make the liver based pate I loved so much, and then be left with a bunch of pate to eat on my own, or did I go with the vegetarian recipe? How daring am I? Well apparently not, because in the end I decided to do a riff on the vegetarian version I know would fly at a potluck.
For the pate, I used the cilantro from my CSA box for inspiration, combined with a black bean and chipotle puree and a roasted chili and pepper layer.
For the bread, I wanted something with a deep corn flavor. A few weeks ago at the farmer's market I found some local atole - a roasted cornmeal that is used for a comforting hot drink. The resulting bread had a subtle toasty corn flavor, had well developed bready flavor from the long fermentation and it had bubbles - yes it had bubbles folks - and it was gluten-free... yes miracles do happen.
Gluten-free atole baguette
Adapted from Healthy Bread in 5 Minutes a Day
2 1/4 cups GF bread flour (I used half of my pizza flour blend and half Jules gluten-free blend)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup atole
2 t xanthan gum
2 t guar gum
2 t kosher salt
2 cups room temperature water
2 eggs, room temperature
2 T honey
1 packet yeast
Mix together flour, cornmeal, atole, gums, yeast and salt. Mix together water, eggs and honey and add to dry ingredients. Using a stand mixer or your hands, mix together until well blended. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for 2-3 hours, then store in fridge for at least 24-72 hours.
When ready to bake, remove from fridge. On a piece of parchment, shape into a baguette shape - mine made 5 baguettes. Top with atole. Cover loosely and allow to sit for 60-90 minutes. 30 minutes before baking preheat oven to 425 degrees with a broiling pan on one rack. After the oven is fully heated, place the baguettes on the parchment directly on a baking stone if you have one. Otherwise, bake them on a cookie sheet. Place 1/2 cup of water in the broiler pan and immediately close the door. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and an instant read thermometer reads 210 or 212 degrees. Allow to cool before cutting them.
Black-bean chipotle layer "pate"
Layer 1: Chipotle black beans
2 cups black beans
1 chipotle pepper in adobo
1 large clove garlic
salt to taste
lime juice
Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Spread in the bottom of a plastic wrap lined container of your choice. I used a 4 cup square tupperware container.
Layer 2: Roasted chili layer
2 ounces roasted chili peppers (i used anaheims)
5 ounces roasted sweet peppers
4 ounces feta cheese
Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Spread on top of the black beans.
Layer 3: Cilantro pepita "pesto"
2 cups cilantro
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup roasted pepitas (de-hulled pumpkin soup)
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
salt to taste
olive oil
lime juice to taste
Puree all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Spread on top of the roasted peppers.
Chill for at least 4 hours. Then unmold and serve with baguette.

Craigo's blog
Craigo's finally back on the Zzz land forum. New computer. Plenty to catch up on!!
In news from down under: Craigo now is a grandad!!!! The world now has a new 6 1/2 pound ZZ Fan. Couldn't be happier. Mother and daughter doing well.
Hey all, whats with all the spam on this website lately. Maybe the Moderators should delete it all. Its wrecking a perfectly good forum. Just my view anyway.
Just got a link for ZZ Top Aust tour next year. They're opening for Guns 'n Roses in March out here. Cant wait!!
Just want to take the time to wish everyone who visit these pages a Very Merry Christmas and a fantastic new year!!! Have a drink for me!!! Cheers again from Australia Craigo and family :)
Hey Gang, picked up the new La Futura Cd on the weekend. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed!! Had to wait a bit longer 'til the local music shop got in in stock. I've got a theory on buying CD's. I kinda figure that if we, the fans, stop buying them, then the bands will stop making them!! Here's a list of the last 5 I got. 1: ZZ Top- La Futura 2: The Angels- Take It To The Streets...
Hey Gang, There's been a bit of a trend of late with bands playing classic albums live, Track by track, start to finish. Which ZZ album would you love to hear completely?? Me??? Would love to hear Tres Hombres completely. I realise some tracks off this album are a staple for the live shows, but I'd still love to hear the whole thing!!! Anyone else got any ideas??? Or any other...
Hey all again, My teenage son got bored last week. He went down to my shed for a couple of hours. On return: Craigo gains a one of a kind ZZ guitar pick holder!!!! I've changed my avatar to show it. What do you all think!! Cheers from down under. Craigo :)
Happy New Year all!!!! Although the year has only just started, who's already broken their new years resolution???? Mine is to get a bit fitter, and to finally get my dream car started. A guy can dream can't he?? Cheers from Down Under Craigo.
First saw ZZ Top here in Australia back in 1987. Waited for it for months and enjoyed the show. When the band toured here in April this year, I had the pleasure of going again, and taking my 18 year old son with me. We both had a great night. The guys sounded great. Must be other people out there with similar experiences!!

I have been working at Salesforce.com full-time for more than 8 years
Pros – Great compensation, lots of mobility win the company, great coaches among sales leadership. Market leading products and relentless pace of innovation that addresses problems customers didn't even know they had. Holiday parties are amazing with performers like Cyndi Lauper and the bare naked ladies. CEO just gave out 500 tickets to employees for game 2 of the SF Giants in the World Series. 5 weeks of vacation, paid paternity leave, time off for foundation work.
Cons – Can be a grind, success depends on territory (but that is the life of sales, not unique to salesforce). Moving into management can take a while. Resources like sales overlay teams for complementary products, sales engineering, are scarce or not competent and your succes can depend on them.
Advice to Senior Management – Please train the acquired companies teams (radian 6, jigsaw) like you train us and hire more sales engineers.
