One of the more popular features at this year's MidPoint Music Festival isn't a band or singer/songwriter — it's a truck. The "Rolling Record Store" used by (and stocked with releases from) Jack White's Third Man Records will be at MPMF Sept. 28 and 29, between visits to the Muddy Roots Festival and New York City's CMJ conference/fest.
An extension of White's tiny Third Man record store in Nashville (connected to his label's HQ), the record truck stocks all kinds of Third Man releases, including limited edition vinyl, as well as various Third Man merch. There is also reportedly a DJ station so visitors can spin tunes and a sound system was installed so that bands/musicians can plug in and play. White himself has performed a few times along the Rolling Store's travels (but it's not a guarantee).
The Third Man Records Rolling Record store — which debuted last year at South By Southwest in Austin, Tex. — will make a great addition to the growing MidPoint Midway, the outdoor area featuring vendors, a side-stage, poster exhibitions and other cool "pop up" projects. The bright-yellow truck even has local ties — it was built by Erlanger, Ky.'s C. Cook Enterprises, a car restoration and metal fabrication shop.
I visited White's Third Man headquarters in Nashville a few weeks ago and got to check out the cool merchandise on sale in that closet-sized shop. The Rolling Record Store was parked in the parking lot. I didn't get a tour, but even from the outside, it's a pretty striking vehicle (and I took a few photos, like the one above). Can't wait to see inside at the end of next month!
Here's White playing a "B show" (side gigs on his current solo tour) next to the truck during the recent Outside Lands Festival.
An impressive and eclectic roster of local bands will transform an otherwise stark Loveland VFW hall into an artsy, flashy, sorta hippy-ish Rock 'n' Roll venue for this year's third annual Adjust Your Eyes Music and Arts Festival, June 26 and 27. The two-day, two-stage, multimedia extravaganza, which is the brainchild of Grasshopper Juice labelmeister and Wonky Tonk/Chick Pimp band member Nick Mitchell, will feature not only upwards of 28 bands but also art by Jacklyn Howard and CincyStar Glass and stage lights and visualizations by Bunk News.
Stevie Nicks has truly enhanced and defined the role of women in Rock & Roll. She is the gold standard by which female lead singers in Rock bands will forever be measured against. The defining voice behind Fleetwood Mac since the mid '70s, she has also been able to separate and create a wonderful solo career, recently releasing her seventh album, In Your Dreams, which launched with great success, debuting in the Top 10 of the Billboard album chart. Nicks is currently on the road to promote her latest record and she comes through Cincinnati on Saturday night for a show at Riverbend's PNC Pavilion. We caught up with Stevie via email this week to discuss her upcoming tour stop in Cincinnati, the inspirations for her new album and what a typical day looks like for an iconic Rock star.
The fruitcakes have been throw away, the eggnog is spoiled, the big ball dropped, the champagne is gone and we've all had time to reflect on 2008. Now, chin up, sport — it's time to start looking ahead to 2009 and what lies ahead for Cincinnati's local music scene.
If the first release of 2009 (well, the first to cross my desk anyway) is any indication, we're in for another great year for locally crafted CDs. The "New Year's Eve baby" of the local CD world comes from newcomers Hazle Weatherfield, a promising trio that celebrates its debut release with a show this Saturday at The Mad Hatter in Covington.
Though Rock/Pop chartbusters Journey don't have the same frontman they did when ruling the airwaves in the '70s/'80s, the band continues to draw big crowds whenever they tour. The band created some of the most well-known songs in modern music — "Don't Stop Believin" is the No. 1 iTunes download of all time, for example. Journey's summer tour for its 15th album, Eclipse, teams the band with fellow Arena Rock soldiers Night Ranger and Foreigner and comes to Riverbend this Wednesday. CityBeat had a chance to speak with the band's drummer, Deen Castronovo, about touring, the new album, his love of KISS and some fond Coney Island experiences in Cincinnati.
OK, so which Babylonian weather deity did we collectively blow like a $5 crack whore to assure us of an entire weekend without getting firehosed by the kind of precipitation generally associated with tropical monsoons? Because I want to get his number in our rolodex for next year. Another absolutely gorgeous night for another spectacular evening of musical diversion and awesomeness. That's right, awesomeness.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' Blues- and Folk-tinged sound is a wake-up call to the shift in the music quality that is overtaking American Rock music right now. The band continues to promote its 2010 self-titled album, which has given them their biggest spike in popularity, in part due to hit single, "Paris (Ooh La La)." Her current Country collaboration with Kenny Chesney, "You and Tequila," is also getting heavy radio play right now. CityBeat spoke with Potter to preview her appearance in Cincinnati Friday at PNC Pavilion.
Music Tonight: Tonight's the last time you'll be able to catch Cincinnati-based trio The Rubber Knife Gang in town for a while. But it's not for any kind of hiatus — no rehab or plastic surgery or whatever it is bands do on such breaks. Quite the opposite. It's because the band is jumping on a plane in a few weeks and heading overseas to spread RKG's soulful Americana/Roots/Bluegrass sound. Tonight, the Gang joins Nashville's Grace Adele and the Grand Band for a free, 10 p.m. show at MOTR Pub. The two acts reteam for a Columbus show this weekend, then RKG hops on a plane for Belgium, where the threesome will play two weeks' worth of dates through mid-September (with a few shows in Germany and the Netherlands sprinkled in).

When he's not busy writing for television, performing with his sketch group Derrick Comedy, or acting on the NBC comedy Community, Donald Glover somehow finds the time to make beats and rap as his alter ego, Childish Gambino. The project started as Glover's pragmatic solution to finding someone to rhyme over the beats he had been making in his spare time, and then began to take on a life of its own. In 2008, Glover released his first record as Childish Gambino, Sick Boi, and followed it up the next year with Poindexter. In 2010 he released two mixtapes, I Am Just a Rapper and I Am Just a Rapper 2, which found him rapping over indie rock gems like Sleigh Bells' "Infinity Guitars" and Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks." Later that year, he released his third full-length underground album, Culdesac. The year 2011 found him going legit with Camp, his official debut for the Glass Note label. ~ Gregory Heaney

Memory Leake Robinson Hall
Robinson Hall is where the law school resides on Samford's campus. It contains three courtrooms, several classrooms, boardrooms, law school centers and all the faculty and administrative offices.
The Hare, Wynn, Newell & Newton Advanced Advocacy Courtroom
The Hare, Wynn, Newell & Newton Advanced Advocacy Courtroom Courtroom is where the advance trial skills class is taught. This class is limited to 12 students. Most of the Admission Open Houses are in this courtroom.
The typical classroom can hold up to nearly 75 students. However, all first-year classes are generally 55 students or less. Class sizes continue to become smaller in the second- and third-year. All the courtrooms and rooms in the law library are also used for classrooms.
Outside the law school, two patios can be found on either side. Many students study and eat their lunch at the tables on the patios.
Lucille Stewart Beeson Law Library
With more than 200,000 shelved volumes and 96,000 on microfiche, the library contains all federal and state judicial opinions and statutory codes. Students can read law reviews from every American law school, as well as access the Federal Register and Code of Federal Regulations, United States Hearings and Reports, and selected foreign common law rulings.
Two computer labs and wireless laptop connections also offer instant access to additional resources, such as LexisNexis, Westlaw, e-mail, word processing, and the library catalogue.
Adjoining the law school is the Lucille Stewart Beeson Law Library, a valuable resource for law students and practicing lawyers alike. Open and spacious, the library is designed to accommodate private study and discussion, housing 13 conference rooms, 474 study spaces, carrels with electrical connections, long tables, and comfortable seating.

Good morning! it's time for Wed WIP!
I've been doing more reading then stitching lately so I don't have a ton to share.
First, I started a new test knitting project, a pair of scrap fingerless gloves. These are the scraps:
And I started putting together my log cabin that I've been working on for months now. I'm still adding the white section to the individual scraps, but was eager to see what the afghan would start to look like.
I still have a pile of motifs from the fall scrap afghan that needs to be bordered & put together, my U Scrap is finished minus weaving in the last few tails, my shell ripple is finished, complete with border & just needs to be photographed. I also finished my scrap pink ripple, which came out really small :/ width wise, & that also just needs to be photographed.
I haven't touched my Feb Lady Sweater or my EZ vest.
How are you doing? What have you been working on?

Unbiased License FUD
A few months ago I wrote about the dangers of the Microsoft shared-source license (Linux Journal, December 2001, /article/5496), calling the shared-source license a Trojan horse. By merely looking at Microsoft's code, you could potentially "infect" your own software, leaving yourself vulnerable to a copyright infringement lawsuit by Microsoft. A reader responded that I was applying a double standard—that the exact same problem exists with the GPL. "For companies developing traditional proprietary software", he wrote, "the act of merely looking at GPL code can put them in exactly the same position that they would be in if they looked at Microsoft shared-source licensed code." Even worse, he claimed, the "infection" clauses of the GPL would require that the entire proprietary work that uses GPL code be licensed under the GPL, or the GPL portion removed. His analysis of the GPL is only partly correct. He is confusing three different scenarios.
1. Suppose a proprietary software company has licensed code under the GPL and then includes the GPL code in its derivative work software. The company has agreed to the GPL license and must honor its terms. A court might impose a "specific performance" remedy requiring the company to distribute the proprietary derivative work, including publishing the source code, under the GPL—typically is referred to as "GPL infection", but here it was a risk intentionally accepted by the company.
2. Suppose the proprietary software company does not agree to the GPL license but uses the GPL code anyway in its proprietary derivative work. Under the copyright law, the company may be forced to pay damages and to stop using the code in its derivative work, but the remedy of specific performance (e.g., publication of the source code) probably would not be available. This is not GPL infection; it is simply copyright infringement.
3. Suppose an employee of the proprietary software company, without authorization from or knowledge of his or her company, intentionally or otherwise incorporates GPL code into a proprietary derivative work. (In law, if the act is intentional the employee is said to have engaged in a "frolic and detour".) In this scenario, the company probably will not be liable for willful infringement, although it must stop using the infringing software. Again, there is no GPL infection, merely an infringement.
The creators of proprietary software should indeed exercise caution. Incorporation of someone else's copyrighted code into a software product (even when unintended) can have undesired consequences, including the potential for expensive copyright infringement lawsuits, large damage awards and injunctions against further distribution or sale of the infringing software.
Every company that produces software must engage in safe development practices. That includes making sure that the development staff understands how important it is not to copy someone else's software before reviewing with an appropriately skilled attorney the terms under which that software is obtained. If a company wants to protect the proprietary nature of its software, it must be careful to avoid infection from other proprietary software as well as from free and open-source software. The burden of implementing proper safeguards, including management time spent training staff and securing the workplace—as well as the attorney time to review licenses—are costs of doing business, which must be factored into the price of the software.
These cautions also apply to the creators of open-source and free software. Simply because software is going to be distributed for free doesn't mean that it can't be stopped cold by an infringement lawsuit.
Here are a few safeguards I recommend to my clients:
Obtain a signed copyright assignment or an explicit license for every third-party contribution to your project with language such as the following: "The undersigned author(s) hereby represents and warrants that the software is original and that he/she is the author of the software."
If contributed software was written by an employee of another company, the express permission of that company to use the software should be obtained. The Free Software Foundation recommends an Employer Disclaimer of Rights that authorizes the employee to assign the software "for distribution and sharing under its free software policies".
If employees have been exposed to third-party software that is proprietary and whose source code is not available for copying, it may be appropriate to assign the employees to other projects rather than risk an infringement (or theft of trade secrets) lawsuit.
As a lawyer, it is my duty to be cautious and to warn of risks. But as an advocate of free and open-source software, I also want to back off from sowing fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) more widely than is reasonable.
The goal of open-source development is to encourage the sharing of code and to avoid secrecy. Developers of proprietary software may need to be cautious about being exposed to other companies' source code, but the developers of free and open-source software should copy freely from other free and open-source software—within the constraints of the contributors' licenses. The result will be better software for all.
Legal advice must be provided in the course of an attorney-client relationship specifically with reference to all the facts of a particular situation and the law of your jurisdiction. Even though an attorney wrote this article, the information in this article must not be relied upon as a substitute for obtaining specific legal advice from a licensed attorney.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Five usability tips for Microsoft's Surface RT

Microsoft's Surface can be used like a laptop or like a touch-screen tablet. You can also switch between the Metro touch interface and the conventional Windows desktop, which was designed with a hardware keyboard in mind.
One of the downsides of the Surface as a tablet is Metro's learning curve. Pinching, swiping, and tapping are all part of opening apps, files, and settings in Metro. Unfortunately, it isn't always clear where an application's settings are … Read more

Crushed Can retired after 53 years
Known for an unusual roof structure marked by an inverted curve, the Moose Jaw Civic Centre, aka The Crushed Can, has finally been retired and demolished.
The arena, which was awarded the Massey Medal for architecture, was designed by Saskatchewan architect Joseph Pettick and Vancouver structural engineer J.L. Miller to replace an existing arena destroyed by fire.
The building was designed to cut construction costs by eliminating interior supports. Instead, the roof was supported by a series of two-inch cables suspended from 30-foot concrete A-frames forming the walls.
The curved suspension ceiling spanned 192 feet and was covered by steel decking and a layer of concrete ballast.
The roof descended to within 12 feet of the surface of centre ice.
Measuring 214 feet long, the stadium could seat an audience of 2,750, who would theoretically enjoy an unimpeded view of the surface below.
"I played junior hockey there and when you were in the top seats you could only see to the glass on the boards," said Bill Babey, project manager for SCR Developments, the company responsible for redeveloping the site.
"The seats were smaller than normal and you didn't have a lot of leg room. It was a weird structure."
The building opened in September 1959 with a performance by Louis Armstrong. It remained the home of the junior hockey Moose Jaw Warriors until last year, when it became clear that maintaining the decaying arena was becoming too expensive.
"The maintenance man told me that when the Warriors were in the playoffs last year he lived in fear that the temperature outside would warm up," he said.
"The roof leaked and when it did, it would drip in a straight line and freeze an inch-and-a-half thick in front of the net."
The facility was offered up to private investors, but there were no takers who agreed to preserve the building.
Plans for the site include new retail facilities that replicate some of the design features of the arena.
SCR sub-contracted the demolition to Silverado Demolition & Excavating of Saskatoon. The environmental decommissioning of the building was relatively uncomplicated, said Babey, because the city had already removed most of the asbestos insulation when the building's mechanical systems were replaced 10 years earlier.
Initial plans for demolition included implosion, but insurance proved too costly.
"We also looked at cutting the suspension cables, and six or seven other ways to bring it down," said Babey.
"We finally decided to hammer away at the structure at the bottom with excavators outfitted with jackhammers so we could squash the integrity of the structure and let it fall into itself."
Structural demolition began in August before a large crowd of local residents and TV cameras.
"Some of them seemed to believe that the building was going to come down in an hour," he said.
"The guy on the tractor asked me, 'what do they think is going to happen?' We thought we had to give them something, so we poked the concrete with the excavator and it goes 'tink' and a chunk of concrete falls out and goes 'thonk." It was a real anti-climax."
As demolition proceeded, crews encountered massive rebar two inches in diameter.
"The columns were a couple of feet thick and six feet deep, so when we started we thought it would be painful to bring them down," said Babey.
"But at more than 50 years of age, they just started to crumble."
He said that crews attempted to save lengths of cable to hand out as souvenirs, but that proved impossible after the cables were cut.
"They just frayed into a million pieces, so all the memories we could offer were chunks of blue cinder block," he said.
All told, 15,000 cubic yards of concrete were crushed for re-use.
The demolition was substantially completed in mid-November, as crews prepared to apply engineered backfill.
Babey recorded the entire demolition process on CCTV camera, inadvertently nabbing a thief on the first day the camera was installed.
"Someone broke into the building and stole the demolition contractor's generators," he said.
"He parked his van right up to the camera with his licence plate front and centre, so we got them back."
These projects have been selected from 368 projects with a total value of $7,826,276,357 that Reed Construction Data Building Reports reported on Monday.

Sault-ites, Not Saultbies!!
For as long as I can ever remember citizens of Sault Ste Marie have always been refered to as "Sault-ites". There is now a local website who insistantly refer to us Sault-ites as "Saultbies". I believe this to be a degrading term, an insult to our intelligence. If you'd like to continue to be refered to as Sault-ites and not Saultbies then let your voice be heard and sign my petition. Maybe we can get the message across to those who wish to continue to slight the good people of Sault Ste Marie. Long live Sault-ites!!

Masthead light
by William - Lawrenceville, Georgia
August 10, 2011
This light was a replacement for a broken light on my Crest pontoon boat. Although this light is a masthead with two lights and the old one was an all around light, it fit exactly as the old one did and I just had to wire the two lights together to get the desired function. I like the adjustment mechanism and the appearance of this light, so I rate it a 5.

CD/LP/Track Review
Art Pepper and The Hollywood Allstars: Art Standards (2002)
Here is the sampler (and a fine one at that) from the box set...
From 1979 until his death in 1982, alto saxophonist Art Pepper, while still under contract to Galaxy, recorded for the small Japanese concern, Atlas, overtly as a sideman on a series of "All-Star" sessions, featuring a number of prominent West Coast musicians. I say overtly a sideman because covertly he was the undisputed leader on these dates. As Pepper's wife Laurie points out in the liner notes, Pepper was approached by Japanese producer Yasuyuki Ishihara who wanted him to lead a series of recordings that would reprise his beast work from the 1950s with the same personnel. These recordings were expected by Ishihara to sell well on the island. Pepper had the readily apparent problem that he was under exclusive contract, but still wanted to give Ishihara what he wanted. He was not so interested in covering old ground and so stipulated that he and his wife Laurie would choose the sidemen for the sessions. So, under the guise of sideman/leader, Pepper recorded seven releases for Atlas between 1979 and 1982. This assembly of Music was released under the Galaxy title Art Pepper—The Hollywood All-Star Sessions . Art Standards is the very clever sampler from these recordings.
Of special note in this collection is the inclusion of four recordings Pepper made with Sonny Stitt. Pepper had a great deal of respect for Stitt, as he expounded upon in his autobiography Straight Life. "Bernie's Tune," "How High The Moon," "My Funny Valentine," and "Imagination" are all relaxed and swinging with none of the angst and anxiousness alluded to in Straight Life. This is superb alto saxophone Be Bop playing by both parties and sans Charlie Parker. If anything, Pepper puts a Coltrane slant on things. Also present are reprises with Jack Sheldon ("You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To") as well as introductions to Bill Watrous ("Begin The Beguine") and Lee Konitz ("S'wonderful"). This is not definitive Pepper, but it is at his most relaxed when we might think he had fun rather than feel as if he were putting it all on the line.

Today was a bad day for the gambling industry. Casinos with exposure to Macau suffered losses as gambling revenue for the first 17 days of February were released. Macau's gambling revenue of 15.2 billion patacas ($1.9 billion) missed HSBC's estimates, which resulted in stock price drops. HSBC argues that VIP and high-stakes gamblers avoided casinos because the huge crowds during the Lunar New Year holiday. Whatever the reason, the damage has been done. In spite of all this, MGM Resorts International (MGM) weathered the storm relatively well compared its peers. The stock closed at $12.68, down only 1.55%. On the other hand, its competitors, Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Las Vegas Sands (LVS), and Melco Crown Entertainment (MPEL) each finished the day down 2.09%, 3.14%, and 6.35% respectively. Part of this was due to the fact that RBC upgraded MGM today from sector perform to outperform. However, there are also several other catalysts that make MGM a company worth investing in.
MGM's Return to Dirty Jersey?
In 2010, MGM decided to sell its 50% stake in the Borgata. The other 50% is owned by Boyd Gaming (BYD). The Borgata is New Jersey's largest hotel and is one of the state's major casinos. Regulators stated that one of MGM's partners in Macau, Pansy Ho, was unsuitable because of allegations that tied her father, Stanley Ho, to organized crime. Mr. Ho has never been sued, but U.S. agencies have long suspected him of giving crime lords a foothold in the Macau gambling industry. Rather than cut off business relations with Ms. Ho, MGM ultimately decided to relinquish its holdings in the Borgata. Since then, MGM has been out of the Garden State.
Fast forward to 2013. MGM recently petitioned to have NJ regulators review its findings and hopefully reverse the decision. The company's request was approved, and the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement is currently reviewing the case. Since 2010, MGM has acquired a controlling interest in MGM China Holdings, MGM Macau's parent company. It made changes to MGM China's structure, reducing Ms. Ho's stake from 50% to 27%. It also took actions to reduce Ms. Ho's influence over MGM Macau. Bottom line, MGM has taken the necessary steps to prepare its hopeful return to New Jersey.
Should the Division of Gaming Enforcement overturn the previous decision, MGM could potentially regain its 50% stake in the Borgata. More importantly, however, is the current efforts to legalize online gambling in New Jersey. At this point, it is extremely likely that the legislation required will be passed. Juniper Research estimates that by 2017, online gambling from mobile devices alone will be a $100 billion industry. It is clear that the potential for MGM to profit is there. All that is left to do is to wait for the green light.
Potential Dividend from MGM China
Expect MGM China to announce special dividend in the near future. Last year on February 22, 2012, the company declared a $400 million dividend. While it may not announce one of that enormity, it is extremely likely that MGM China will announce another special dividend sometime soon. RBC estimates MGM China will end the year with approximately $1 billion of cash and will generate free cash flow of over $700 million excluding spending on MGM Cotai. There is also a possibility that MGM China will announce a smaller dividend than last year but also implement a recurring dividend policy at the same.
Expansion and New Developments
MGM is trying to secure gaming licenses in Prince George County, MD, Springfield, MA, and Toronto, Ontario. Although it is competing with several other companies, MGM is a good position to win at least one these bids, if not two. The company is a good position to win the bids for Prince George County and Springfield, given the size and scope of the projects. The former would have an expected mid-2016 opening, and the former would have an expected early-2017 opening.
MGM's potential to succeed in the future is largely tied to how things play out in New Jersey, and the situation is looking pretty good right now. Being able to return and reacquire its 50% stake in the Borgata as well as the possibility of tapping into online gambling are both huge catalysts that differentiate the company from its competitors. There is also the imminent dividend from MGM China and the company's aggressive efforts to expand to take into consideration. Overall, expect MGM to have a great future, both short and long term.

Girard-Perregaux Opera One Watch, Again
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Inside the new Opera One is a manually wound Girard Perregaux GP9899 movement with 75 hours of power reserve. The case is in 18k white gold and 40mm wide. The dense metal is probably not best for the sound of the minute repeater to travel, but you need a luxury metal in such a luxury watch. Mechanical minute repeater watches aren't known for being particularly loud. At least Girard-Perregaux indicates that the new Opera One watch will have a very clear sounding chime.
While on the topic, I wanted to include images of the Girard-Perregaux Opera Three. This wasn't a minute repeater but rather a music box watch. It had a music wheel built into it. You can see styling is similar though to the Opera One, at least in theme. The Opera Three is an extremely rare watch, so see images of the face and back in the gallery below.

Dallas Cowboys: 7 NFL Draft Prospects They Could Pick in First 3 Rounds
By Christian Blood ,
One game remains in the 2012 NFL regular season for the Dallas Cowboys. Yet, even before that "win and you're in" playoff scenario waiting in Washington Sunday night, Dallas has a really good idea of where it needs to go in the offseason.
The Cowboys are nothing but an average team that is spiked with a few outstanding players—that number slowly growing in recent years. But for too long, Dallas was thought to be just a player or two away from actually reaching the Super Bowl, and reality has shown that this was never the case.
The Cowboys could be a really good football team as soon as next season, but the NFL draft is where most of the key reinforcements will come from. With little in the way of free-agent dollars to spend and hopefully continuing a trend of drafting well on the first couple of days, the Cowboys are in position to fill some needs, not so much at certain positions, but where more good football players are concerned.
Much depends on the future status of outside linebacker Anthony Spencer who's in the final year of his contract and could potentially leave a huge hole at outside linebacker.
The following players will garner tremendous interest from both the Cowboys and the NFL in the draft next April. I'm listing these players, assuming that Spencer will not return, even though I fully expect him back. I don't see how owner and general manager Jerry Jones sells another season to the Dallas fanbase with Jason Garrett as head coach but without Spencer.
Offensive linemen, pass-rushers and maybe even safety are all positions that should warrant strong consideration if the right player is there, but there could also be some surprises, too.
These players are in no particular order, and I'm listing prospects that the Cowboys are likely to have the opportunity to draft based on where they are likely to land in the first round. So, when you don't see a player like Luke Joeckel mocked to Dallas, it's because he is long gone before the Cowboys hit the clock.
Underclassmen decisions are not factored in as well.
In the event that outside linebacker Anthony Spencer leaves Dallas as an unrestricted free agent, the Cowboys will be scrambling to fill those shoes, and they won't have many opportunities to do it.
Sam Montgomery from LSU looks like the most likely premium pass-rush prospect who could fall to the Cowboys, depending on where Dallas ends up.
Montgomery translates to outside linebacker as well as defensive end in the NFL. In Dallas, Montgomery would likely shift to Spencer's current spot, and from there, some good things could happen—in time though.
No college player is a finished product, and Montgomery is no exception in that regard. But, he does have an interesting skill set that reminds me somewhat of former Dallas defensive end and eventual outside linebacker Greg Ellis.
In Dallas' 3-4 defensive scheme, Montgomery looks like the only player who could actually upgrade the pass rush opposite Pro Bowl edge rusher DeMarcus Ware.
Montgomery has all the tools and still has room to add some muscle to his 6'5" frame. As long as Montgomery stays strong in run support, he should be a fine NFL pass-rusher within a couple of seasons in the league.
With Ware on the other side of the line, Montgomery could make an impact even sooner.
Should the Cowboys lose to the Washington Redskins this weekend, then the play of the offensive line will go down as the biggest reason Dallas was not a contender this season.
Lack of a dominant pass rush is also up there as a reason for the Cowboys' struggles, but quarterback Tony Romo has spent too much time running for his life in both wins and losses.
The offensive line cannot be ignored, especially in the first round, unless Dallas ends up letting Spencer walk, and the franchise decides to fill that void instead.
Assuming Spencer stays, the interior of the offensive line must be dealt with—and I'm not talking about expensive rejects from other squads that come in just in time for a useless, average decline like Kyle Kosier or Marco Rivera.
Young, blue-chip talent is what helped Dallas win Super Bowls in the 1990s, and that included offensive linemen.
You would be hard-pressed to find an offensive guard better than Chance Warmack of Alabama. The Crimson Tide has the standout program in NCAA football, and the players they bring in are why.
Warmack has helped blow open running lanes for one of the most dynamic running games in college football.
See, college teams generally don't get hung up on cramming as many passing yards as possible to its fans just to sell TV ads.
The smartest teams in the NFL have strong running games, and a few will likely have byes in the first round of the playoffs this season.
Obviously not considered the "offensive genius" he was once labeled as, Jason Garrett has a much steeper learning curve toward calling an NFL offense than anybody could have imagined. You just think that a guy who has played in the league before would have been exposed to enough football to have learned the fundamentals of running the ball.
So, if actually playing with the greatest running back of all time in Emmitt Smith doesn't teach that dynamic to Garrett, maybe Warmack can.
Warmack delivers inside blocking not seen in North Texas since Larry Allen was convincing the league's most intimidating defensive linemen to just keep their mouths shut.
Warmack starts day one and would be a huge step toward rebuilding, arguably, the weakest area of the Dallas depth chart.
As stated before, running the ball wins championships, and if Garrett has any serious ambitions to keep a head-coaching gig in this league beyond 2013, he'll require fundamental change in his approach.
D.J. Fluker is a massive lineman who could either play guard or tackle in the NFL. Not since Leonard Davis was prematurely released have the Cowboys had anything resembling the size and power that Fluker brings the instant he shows up.
It won't matter as much what Dallas does with Doug Free because Fluker offers insurance at either guard or right tackle, and this could be a brilliant move.
Free is under contract, and I'm not so sure that Jerry Jones doesn't want to get something more for that investment. This is why I have a suspicion that Free will not be released but rather moved if he doesn't win his job back anyway.
No, you don't release a guy who is paid for just because of one down season and especially not when your green head coach calls 60 pass-protection plays in a single game.
Consider Fluker a bulk-sized bottle of cologne with which to combat the odor of the Garrett arena-league spread.
If you're really curious as to what DeMarco Murray is really capable of, pray that Fluker ends up wearing a blue star next fall.
When a skill position like wide receiver is discussed, Jerry Jones will be a part of it, and he might even offer you draft picks if you have one he wants.
Seriously, this position isn't quite as cozy as it may look.
Fortunately, Dez Bryant has emerged as the Pro Bowl-caliber threat he was drafted to be back in 2010.
Still, can he maintain this pace both on and off the field?
This is a fair question asked by many.
Assuming that Bryant is a part of the long haul, which he certainly is, then only Miles Austin currently sits on the roster as a go-to target for Tony Romo. As quickly as Dwayne Harris is emerging as a receiving threat and a punt returner, more needs to be seen from him before placing bets.
I don't expect to see Kevin Ogletree on the roster next year.
I also have a feeling that Miles Austin could be moved at some point during the offseason, and this move would be primarily for cap room. And it's not like Austin stays healthy very well, and he'll never be confused with a receiver with great hands.
But losing this particular Austin wouldn't hurt so badly, especially if another Austin was acquired.
Meet Tavon Austin, among the very fastest wide receivers coming out of college.
Now, many think that Tavon's pass thrower this season could be the first quarterback selected in the 2012 NFL draft. Geno Smith has made a living throwing footballs to this weapon and don't think that Tavon isn't a big part of what's been happening out in Morgantown, Va.
Whether Miles stays or goes, Tavon (no relation) would bring immediate impact to the Cowboys in much the same way that DeSean Jackson did coming out of Cal-Berkley in 2008.
Harris seems to have a lock on the punt-returning chores for the foreseeable future. But Tavon can certainly step in for kickoffs and can obviously carry out of the backfield too with his 4.39 speed.
Tavon Austin will create points and field position for the Cowboys—and lots of stress for opponents as well.
Defensive end is another position that needs to be addressed, but if Jay Ratliff is finally moved back over to the same position, it sure would take some heat off this part of the depth chart.
Marcus Spears has never played to his first-round billing, at least if you do not know what to expect out of a 3-4 end. But Spears is likely gone soon, and while numbers at this position are OK for now, they won't stay that way.
And no team can have too many pass-rushers anyway, right?
I had to look on a map to find out exactly where the country of Estonia is located. I was curious after looking over an SMU product named Margus Hunt, a defensive end likely to be available to Dallas in the middle rounds.
Hunt came to the United States to attend SMU part time and continue with track and field, a sport he started in northern Europe. But upon arriving at SMU in 2007, there was no men's track and field program anymore.
Hunt's physique earned him a scholarship from Mustangs head coach June Jones in 2009, and close to 20 (not a typo) blocked kicks later, he's ready for the NFL.
Hunt may never be available to the Cowboys following his figures at the NFL Scouting Combine in February. All mock drafts are pure speculation at this point because it's really early to start placing athletes in certain rounds.
Hunt is a raw product, but standing 6'8" and weighing in at around 275 pounds will buy him time to develop in the NFL. Hunt's kick-blocking ability alone would get him drafted. Hunt can bench press 225 pounds an incredible 35 times!
By the time Dallas needs another veteran defensive end, like they did when Chris Canty left for New York in 2009, Hunt would be ready. Injuries could also create a need for Hunt's unique skills sooner than later.
By now, everyone is aware of the situation surrounding Dallas defensive tackle Josh Brent. Having just been indicted for intoxication manslaughter this week, it's a safe bet that the Cowboys need to make other arrangements in the middle of the defensive line.
The nose guard position has been poorly manned in Dallas since the official switch to the 3-4 defensive scheme in 2005. Outside of Brent, only Jay Ratliff and Jason Ferguson have spent significant time at the nose.
Nose guards in the NFL need to be some big, strong dudes. Any player who weighs less than 325 pounds is generally better suited for defensive tackle in the 4-3—and certainly those tackles can be smaller.
But a 3-4 defensive line has only three guys.
The opposing offensive line has at least five guys blocking.
Do the math.
The teams that win with this scheme probably have large nose guards. Think of teams like New England, Pittsburgh and Baltimore. These teams are often contenders, and their defenses, at least most years, is a big reason why.
Well, football starts in the trenches on every play, and only the football gods understand why Dallas has never employed a true nose guard.
It's time for that to change, so other defensive players upfront can be maximized.
There are three things you never pass up on in a football player: speed, strength and height.
Jenkins may not have the speed, but he's got everything else.
Women can claim that size doesn't matter in an entirely different contact sport—but in football, it absolutely does.
If nose guard is the most neglected position on the Dallas defense, then safety is an easy runner-up.
Barry Church seemed set to create a new beginning for the Cowboys secondary at strong safety. Not since Darren Woodson has Dallas really had a complete safety who could do it all.
With Church coming back from a season-ending injury suffered early in 2012, it would seem like he'll have the opportunity to regain his starting job.
Safety is not a position that typically gets drafted in the first round—and especially not strong safeties.
Kenny Vaccaro of Texas is a safety who could get a look from Dallas in the first round, despite the fact that safety might not be a huge position of need.
But, there's not very much proven at this position, and depending on how things fall on draft day, the Cowboys might conclude that choosing where they are is the best move. That location would make a safety a logical choice.
Vaccaro may not get the attention of some others at his position, but Vaccaro is the best of the bunch—and even he could slide to the second round. Vacarro could also help out on special teams for a few seasons, and this is an area that's been an improved unit in 2012.
Whether Church remains the starting strong safety or not, only free safety Gerald Sensabaugh is a sure thing, roster-wise, for the future.
And the Cowboys should not be afraid to upgrade this position if they feel Vaccaro can do so.
If Jerry Jones is still on the secondary bandwagon, like he obviously was last season, then Vaccaro could be the pick. This would not fill a huge need, but it could be the right call.

text: Yeah well the Octorok mimi game wasn't that hard for me. I finished it in like 15 or 20 minutes I am good with a Bow :P. But one mini game that frustrated me to hell was where you were spinning in that Darning whatever game trying to use those damn bomchu's to shoot the targets on the walls. Also the Octorock game pissed me off too. I always got all 24 masks before beating the game. Then I would get fierce Deities mask and I would always try to get that milk that makes you magic infinite for 3 days. Then I will slash the hell out of the boss. I know I am cheap but I don't care :P.

The Giants pound the Falcons to win their wild-card round matchup at MetLife Stadium.
This team remains impossible to figure out.
Our PlayStation 3 thinks the Giants will have no trouble on Sunday.
Then again, Eli Manning didn't win a postseason game until his third playoff appearance.
The Jets lose to the Falcons in heartbreaking fashion.
Eli Manning outplayed Matt Ryan. Best of all, he didn't give the defense a chance to blow it in overtime.
At least the Falcons are struggling, too.

[B]Egg Moves:[/B] String Shot Harden Foresight Endure Zen Headbutt Morning Sun Magnet Rise This Pokemon is a bundle of surprises, and if you didn't think the same when you read the above, let me show you what I mean. Access to Butterfly Dance This might be the greatest boosting move that exists in the game. With extraordinarily few Pokemon getting it and most of them sucking, that Urugamosu gets it is a godsend. It gives Urugamosu +1 SpA / +1 SpD / +1 Spe and almost single-handedly enables his sweep off the bat. Couple that boosting move with base 135 Special Attack and base 100 Speed and you've got a ferocious sweeper on your hands. Don't give it the chance to get +2 or you're pretty much screwed. Amazing stat distribution and typing for a speedy special sweeper I mentioned it above and I'll say it again here: Urugamosu has an ideal distribution of stats for what it is attempting. 85/60/105 are legitimate defenses for a sweeper like this, all coupled with a resistance to both Bullet Punch and Mach Punch make for a great build. Add to this the fact that even bulky Water-type Pokemon won't want to switch in because Urugamosu is boosting its great Special Defense and can puncture them with its immensely powerful attacks and avoid being KOed in return and you'll see just how deadly Urugamosu is. Perhaps the best sun sweeper that exists It may not have Chlorophyll, but this thing uses the sun like a fiend with Wind Storm, STAB Fire Blast, Solar Beam, and Butterfly Dance to boost its already impressive stats. If you are running a sun team, use this Pokemon. Trust me. 4x Stealth Rock weakness It's not all sunshine for Urugamosu, though. That typing is perhaps its single greatest fault. Being 4x weak to Stealth Rock forces you to run Rapid Spin support or sacrifice Urugamosu's respectable bulk when attempting your sweep. I suspect that a dominant set will look like this: Urugamosu @ Life Orb Ability: Flame Body / Swarm EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe Nature: Timid (+Spe, -Atk) ~ Butterfly Dance ~ Fire Blast / Fire Dance ~ Bug Buzz ~ Hidden Power Ground This is your typical powerhouse set. Fire/Bug coverage is respectable, but is totally walled by Heatran and other Fire-type Pokemon. For this reason, you're definitely going to want Hidden Power Ground in the last slot. Butterfly Dance makes this all possible and sets Urugamosu up or an immense sweep. After one use, Urugamosu hits 553 Special Attack, which makes those STAB Fire Blasts absurdly strong. If you're worried about accuracy, you can run Fire Dance, which has more PP than Fire Blast and a handy chance to boost Urugamosu's Special Attack even further when used. (Which is definitely appreciated) Ninetales is a phenomenal partner to this set, because a double-STAB Fire Blast is going to murder everything. Even better, though, is that the sun removes Urugamosu's Water-type weakness and Butterfly Dance boosts resistance to special attacks. What's even better than that, though, is that as a Fire-type Pokemon, Urugamosu doesn't have to worry about stray burns from Boiling Water! (Not that it really cared, but damage per turn is damage per turn) What do you guys think? What sets do you think look promising besides the one I've listed? Who will you guys partner him with? Who do you think will give him trouble?
It really needs Substitute so that priority does not murder it. SR is kinda bad but its not too hard to spin and I guess its not O.K offensive STABs. Speed is not too shabby either.
and from what we know, SR isn't as common as it was last gen, because it's not a TM anymore. but yeah- rock weak is REALLY hurtful, especially coupled with it being grounded (derp, the winged moth can't levitate without specifically being told to do so). really cool looking pokemon, and I was speculating WAY MANY MONTHS AGO how awesome it would be if a bug/fire moth poke based on the atlas moth would be... go figure :) good speed, and a spA stat on alakazam and poryZ levels (still good, but Chanderaa is #1 now lol :p). good stats and butterfly dance may actually help it be usable
After one butterfly dance, this thing is going to be shooting down entire teams with ease considering how amazing Bug/Fire is as offensive typing. So what if it's rock weak? It has only two other weaknesses and tears holes in everything.
Fighting/Bug/Steel/Grass resistances mean Scizor and technician Breloom will get eaten alive. Considering all the new bugs, steels, and fighters in this gen I think it'll actually wind up being pretty vital. This guy reminds me a lot of Heatran last gen; awesome design, unique typing, great stats, but with a lot of nitpicking about one particularly glaring weakness. I think it'll be a beast eventually.
Stealth Rock will blast this thing bad. It's a pity since it looks kinda like Empoleon, but with better offensive (though way worse defensive) typing. I can see this being a good contender in UU kinda like Yanmega, but it's probably not gonna cut in OU.
Not gonna cut it in OU with better Speed and Special attack than Heatran? The only real problem here is Stealth Rocks. Assuming a metagame with it. Ulgamoth is hurting pretty bad, but I think it'd break UU easily. Assuming a metagame with it I think he'll be an offensive monster. Especially under the sun, where he can switch in with no worries on 4x resisted grass attacks...
Sorry, but as it is there are no Pokemon with 4x SR weak in OU. As cool as this guy is, I don't see him making waves any time soon as the common SRers this gen don't really care for their DW abilities much.
No, but there is one in Ubers, and he does just fine. Just because Stealth Rocks is still usable doesn't mean it's still going to be as viable. New pokemon that resist Stealth Rocks (Fully evolved): Doryuuzu, Nageki, Dageki, Gamageroge, Rohpushin, Warubiaru, Zuruzukin, Nattorei, Gigigear, Maggyo, Kojondo, Goruggo, Kirikizan, Birijion, Terakion, Kobaruon, Kerudio That's a handful of 17 pokemon. 1 of them being the mighty Doryuuzu, who also gets Shadow Claw and access to Rapid Spin if I'm not mistaken.
Regardless, my point still stands. The dominant SRers will still exist, unless you're willing to make arguments as to why they will not, which I am completely open to.
I agree that this particular Pokemon is awesome, and I love the Bug type, so I like to see new representatives emerge. However, I think I have to disagree with it being "the next Heatran" due to the fact that, while a Ground type weakness was a huge problem, it didn't have to put up with the huge crippling by Stealth Rock. If Stealth Rock maintains a high profile in the Gen V metagame, teams will either have to be extremely reliant on their spinners to guarantee Butterfly Dance set up/sweepage, or else it will be made quick work of.
They will exist, but not necessarily alongside their powerful new abilities. For that reason and others, they may not stay dominant. We just don't know.
Without a Stealth Rock TM, I'm seeing this guy make some pretty big waves (although I wouldn't put it past Gamefreak to make it a Move Tutor move in Grey, or whatever they call the next one). Especially with all the new, super-powered offensive pokes they're releasing making it that much harder to set up SR without losing a 'Mon. I've always loved fire, and bug, so this guy is like my dream come true. The only thing I'm looking forward to more is Speed Boost Blaziken, and that's just because he's always been my favorite 'Mon, period
Humor me. For what reason would Aerodactyl, Azelf, Metagross, and Swampert stop wanting to lead with their SRs? I'm not being a jerk here. I'm genuinely inquiring. I'm wracking my brain for a reason to think of why these Pokemon would stop leading. The most obvious possibility would be because newer leads would force them out of action. But what could possibly threaten them? I really want to imagine Urugamosu as a viable Poke, awesome design and movepool and all, but I find it hard to picture.
This 'mon seems to have a ton of potential. Getting past rock types should be pretty easy: throw HP Grass or Fighting into its arsenal and you're set. SR weakness is definitely an issue, though.
I made some edits to my first post, capitalizing on new material I missed. Also deleted nonsensical and stupid intro. And as a side note, I thought this analysis was sloppy.. eh. I see SR still being used. And yes, I am unsure whether the item is one use or not. And whether or not (probably not) Urgamoth is usable as a lead-sweeper is currently unknown. Just learned that Urgamoth can't get Roost as a TM (correct me if I'm wrong). This means it has to stick with Morning Sun, which is much less viable. But hey, it has potential in Drought teams. (OU Speculation) After thinking about it some more, I found it was tough to imagine this guy as an OU. He has the stats, yes, but lacks any sort of capability to truly abuse them. The core of this argument resides in the fact that there are many pokemon with fantastic stats introduced, but, with so many of them, some would obviously be regulated for UU. For example, I imagine the Hydra to be overrated as a Latias with no pursuit weak--the problem is, normal attacks from the huge offensive prowess this meta makes the Hydra harder to effectively use. Combined with a crippling fighting weakness and no Roost, I am sure people will find the Hydra not as powerful as assumed. Even the Lamprey, with good stats, typing, movepool, and ability, who might've been OU 4th gen, might end up being UU this gen. And I can picture Urgamoth as a sturdy UU. Firstly, the stat up move (Pokejungle translated it as Butterfly Dance, I saw some translate it as Butterfly Wing, so I won't name it yet) is just not threatening enough at first. Priority absolutely ruins Urgamoth. No matter how much it stats up, an aqua jet or extremespeed will promptly deal with it. Fortunately for Urgamoth, it resists Bullet Punch and Mach Punch. This, however, does not make up for the fact that it is weak to water, neutral to earth, weak to rock and I think something else. Looking at the major threats in this gen and considering how to counter them, I see the Kibago evo being dominant. Have huge stats plus taunt means very few things can shut it down. This makes me feel that Donphan would increase in popularity. And, if Rain teams are popular, Gastrodon with Storm Drain, assuming Storm Drain works like Lightning Rod, will probably replace Swampert. And if Shaandera is OU, then Blissey has to carry Healing Wish as so not to be swept by +6. (Back on topic) So where does Urgamoth fall into this? I...don't see much of a place for it. While practicing teams (looking at movepools, which are available), I tried making an Urgamoth team. I ended up replacing with Shaandera because that is so mcuh better, but then I even sacked Shaandera in an attempt to make a defensive team that covers offensive threat. My point is, I don't think it is easy to fit Urgamoth onto a team. He does not compliment many things with his typing, and is very centralized to setting up and special sweeping. It does have a special niche with his stat up move, but that is about it. Unlike the D/P dancers, pokemon can actually take a hit from Urgamoth and take it out (I think). Right now, there is a lot unknown about the metagame and how Urgamoth would affect it, and what I stated before were merely my hypotheses. The truth is, Urgamoth has a lot of potential to fly... or be squished to death by rocks. But I think it will take some time for Urgamoth to get recognition, as Onokonosu and Shaandera and Rain Dance will no doubt take the spotlight.
Everyone who says this guy is going to stay out of OU is doing so because of SR, but we just don't know how prominent that's going to be this generation. The fact that SR is no longer a TM and the unknowns attached to dream abilities and such puts its future into question, not to mention the plethora of new pokemon resistant to it. Ultimately, it really does come down to that. If stealth rock gets used as much as in this gen, I bet this poor moth ends up BL and rarely used (I have a hard time believing that it wouldn't break UU, stealth rock weakness or not). If SR doesn't see as much use, then this moth is going to be OU for sure, though we must remember the SR popularity is not a "it's used or it isn't" sort of thing... it's a matter of degrees. Ultimately, only time will tell.
Even if this thing is dual weak to SR, I have a feeling you'll only have to bring it in once, set up Butterfly Dance, and sweep. I haven't run calcs but even at 50% health, it can probably survive a CB Scizor/Breloom's Bullet/Mach Punch and end up in Swarm Range. The best partner for this Pokemon (besides Rapid Spinners) is probably Vaporeon, since you can easily pass this thing a Wish on a Grass attack and it will be back to full health. In conclusion, I don't think this will become as good a DD Salamence but it can still probably sweep with a little support.
Thanks a ton for that! Your analysis is strong, but you've got to realize that this thing hits harder than Choice Specs Heatran after a single Butterfly Dance. Did I mention that it also is more specially bulky and faster by leaps and bounds? With one turn setup, it becomes an amazing sweeper, and it definitely gets opportunities to setup with a neutrality to Ground and a 4x resistance to Grass. If you manage to get this out in the sun too, which is likely considering that Ninetales got Drought, it will utterly destroy things. I'm pretty sure that it will fare well at the very least in whatever metagame Gen V churns out.
Adamant CB Scizor bullet punch/Adamant CB Breloom mach punch: 39.2%-46.3% you die if you have life orb, otherwise, fine Jolly Lucario extremespeed: 49.2% minimum. Dragonite ES:not even worth running a calc. if you could keep rocks off the field this could be a monster, since no priority user does more than 60ishmax.
Ninjask is OU, also If Ho-oh can stay in Ubers with SR around this pokemon can become OU if it proves out to work well in the metagame

Avalon Organics Revitalizing Eye Gel Lavender -- 1 fl oz
Best Eye Gel!
Reduces puffy or dark circles, and keeps skin nice & firm. Love that its organic & cruelty free.
March 10, 2013
I love Avalon Organics products but this one is just terrible. It stings and burns when you put it on and its supposed to be for sensitive skin. I am very dissapointed with this eye gel. I will be buying one from a different brand. Terrible!
August 22, 2012
Great for sensitive puffy eyes
I have the most sensitive eyes and this product agrees with my skin..I've used it now for several months and will continue to buy because it works! Give it a try!
August 16, 2012
Not impressed
I love the Avalon skin care line. I really like the Avalon Vitamin C eye cream, but I am not impressed with this eye gel and will not buy again. I highly recommend the CSI recovery eye cream with vitamin K and arnica and the CSI cucumber eye cream. Vitacost has the best pricing.
March 24, 2012
I am sure an excellent product but....
I am sure this is an excellent product for some.... but for me and what I purchased it for it did nothing. I am a 52 year old African American. I purchased the product because I can begito see bags developing under my eyes. I do not have brown circles under my eyes at all so I was only purchasing the product for under eye puffiness. I began using on Dec. 7,2011 and there has been no change what so ever. I am sure it is a quality product for other things but not for reduction of puffiness. I received the product in a timely manner. I just wanted to alert others who may be using it for that reason it may not work.
