The Effect of Adding New People to Project Teams
I've read quite frequently about the challenges we will experience when adding new people onto teams, including Fred Brooks' 'The Mythical Man Month', but having seen quite a few new people join the project that I've been working on over the last few months I think there are actually some significant benefits they can provide.
I think the impact new people provide is particularly useful on a challenging project where they may be able to have a much more immediate impact.
From my observations there seem to be two main ways that new people can positively impact a team:
Driving for simplicity
I think that new people joining a team may well be the best placed to judge the quality of a code base. Since they have very little to no context of the decisions made they only have the code to tell them the story of the project so far.
As a result of this they are the best placed to tell whether or not the code has been written in an obvious way because they will probably have trouble understanding what's going on if that isn't the case.
Although following certain design approaches can ease the reading of code for everyone on a team I think that after we spend a while dealing with a level of complexity it becomes normal for us and we don't feel the pain as much.
Having someone new come in and point this out is invaluable as it helps us to drive towards a more maintainable and easier to work with solution.
Something else I noticed is that the level of enthusiasm that new people have is often much higher than people who may have been working on a project for an extended period of time and could be feeling a bit jaded.
They haven't fought the battles or experienced the pain that current team members may have done so they arrive with few preconceptions and a desire to improve the way that things are being done.
When combined with their desire to simplify the code, the impact these people have can be quite significant.
An added benefit is that enthusiasm is contagious so some of it is bound to rub off on other members of the team thereby leading to improved morale.
In Summary
I actually found it quite surprising to notice the impact that new people can have because I'd previously been more inclined to believe that people who had worked on a project for longer would provide much more value.
From what I've seen new members to a team can provide a lot of value very quickly so it's certainly an approach worth keeping in mind.

Except for maybe enthusiasm rubbing off, neither of these really will make adding new people to a late project finish faster which is still a kneejerk reaction by a lot of management.
The best time to bring new people on is either at the beginning or in the middle but not really the end. At the end of a project of certain scope, trying to rework large swaths of code usually will end in a death march. Better, IMO, to finish out with more complex code and ship the thing then make refactoring a priority during maintenance.
After so long, you just need to finish all the code. :)
Rafael Alvarez replied on Wed, 2009/10/21 - 10:17am
The problem is not with adding new people to a project. The problem, as described in the MMM book is adding new people to a project that is already late.
It is ok to add new people as the project is in progress (actually, most projects could start with one or two people and grow as needed) . But if your project is already late and near the deadline, adding more people will just drag down the productivity of the (most likely burned out) team.
Bernie Eng replied on Sun, 2009/10/25 - 10:05pm
While the author described the good aspects of having new people on the team, they are achievable via code reviews as well (fresh ideas, judge code quality and striving for simplicity). And I agree that these are all Good Things.
However, the actual problem lies with the fact that with the new members, it is expected that project timeline can be shortened and/or new features implemented without shifting the deadline. A typical example of this mistake would be to assume if feature A take 10 man-days with a guy from the existing team, adding 2 new guys would mean that both of them would take 5 man-days each to implement.
It is usually because of this assumption that the folks in the existing team would cringe. No ramp-up time for studying the existing code, understanding design decisions and getting used to the development style.

Pours rather dark for a barleywine, a cloudy mahogany with a thin head/ring. Aroma is malty and syrupy but with noticeable hops.
Taste is only faintly malty, more roasted flavors like a stout. Lots of hops bitterness, quite dry. No alcohol flavors but that isn't surprising; it is just barely within the style guidelines.
Mouthfeel is rather watery, especially for what is intended as a barleywine. Not knowing, I might call this a fairly robust porter. I'm not sure this one works for me.

I had this at Deacons Den in West Dover,Vt last month I had never heard of it so I gave it a try.Pours a deep red with some brown tones showing thru,not to much head here but what there was left some nice lacing.Aroma was real sweet with some burnt fruit aromas and lightly bready.Very malty brew lightly sweet with dried fruit and chocolate,it is slighlty alcoholic.A decent find in the wilds of Vermont.

Sampled & reveiwed 3/4/07:
Ap: Pours ruby red/light brown. Thick, solid, creamy head which sticks around a while. Decent carbonation. Very clear.
Ar: Malty, bitter chocolate & cocoa. No hop aroma detected whatsoever. Maybe some prune & plum notes.
Ta: Chocolate malt hits me immediately & follows through the middle with slight roastiness. No hop flavor detected. Not bitter or strong as other barleywines I've tasted. Decent flavor but not what I've come to recognize in barleywine. Possibly due to VT's limitation on ABV in beer.
Mo: Medium bodied. Palette clean after each sip. No residual bitterness or cloying flavors.
Dr: Medium. Good flavor, although nothing overly noteworthy, makes this fairly easy drinking. I just think I'd move on to something more exciting & flavorful after one.
Comments: This was ok, but a bit bland for a barleywine. I knoe Rock Art's hands are a bit tied with VT's restriction on ABV (I think 8% is the max) in beer. That would certainly limit their potential, but I would not have produced this if in such circumstances. A barelywine is usually more fuller flavored & bodied that this. This is ok, but closer to a brown ale or alt.

Bottled on Mar. 05 per the notched label. The Ridge Runner Barley Wine Ale pours from the bottle a deep cola brown bordering on black with a taught half inch of creamy bone white head on top. Spotty lacing sticks to the side of my glass as garnet hues streak out as the light passes through. Aromas of rich caramelly, raisiny malts with a slight burnt undertone. Dark fruits along with a hint of cocoa and just a touch of hops. Nice and malty..maybe even a touch of molasses.
First sip brings rich dark maltiness that'a a bit burnt with a cornucopia of flavors including dark fruits, raisins, caramel, cocoa and a hint of molasses and licorice on the way down. The brew is a tad smoky with only a faint hint of hops in the finish. A tasty, flavorful brew, quite thin for a barleywine really, but it makes it easy to drink and enjoyable.
Mouthfeel is smooth and rather light with a good amount of carbonation. The body is not as big and chewy as I was hoping for and it really doesn't resemble a barleywine at all. However, the brew is quite drinkable and I wouldn't mind having another. Overall a nice brew that I wouldn't mind having again given the chance. Thanks to BIF20 and MuddyFeet for this one.

Bottle says this is from April of last year so 10 months old.
Sticky, light tan head, about a half inch thick. Persists for quite a while leaving nice lacing behind. Dark brown with red hues throughout. Quite nice.
Malty base to the aroma, biscuit with a slight hint of caramel. Some english hops show through. Kind of weak here.
Nice malty flavor with hints of roasted malt and bittersweet chocolate. Good toasted flavors here. Probably not quite an English barleywine by flavor, but this one is pretty tasty. Some yeasty characteristics with only hints of alcohol. Roasted flavors linger for a bit.
Medium bodied, but creamy mouthfeel. Mid-level of carbonation. Overall a pretty easy drinking beer. Doesn't come across as barleywine to me, maybe more like a kicked-up chocolaty brown ale, but good nonetheless. I think the hops have really faded from this, but have allowed a good base-malt bill to come through.

If I didn't know this was a barleywine, I never would have guessed. Had this from the cask at American Flatbread and while I wasn't disappointed, I certainly wasn't overwhelmed. It was a dark red/ruby color with a medium head that dissipated quickly. It had a sweet, caramel aroma, and a mildly sweet, minimally hoppy taste. Kind of thin. I only drank one of these, and then moved on.

Deep garnet red with a blanched almond colored head (I had a pile of 'em on the counter and... yep, that's the color). Bottle is freshness dated.
Aroma of slightly burnt toast and hot cocoa. Malty, with chocolatey, nutty, and toasted flavors complimented with a slight bitterness. Very smooth, body slightly thin. Slight hop spiciness way in the background just before it heads down the throat. Tastes lighter than it is. I can't help but think that this is 85% of a truly great barleywine - a bit more malt, a bit more mouthfeel, and a hint more alcohol would kick this into the realm of hugeness. As is, a very drinkable brew.

12 oz bottle pours a hazy, dark mahogany body, with a thin, beige head. Patch and sheet lace are all over the glass.
Very malty aroma, with chocolate and caramel up front. A faint note of floral hops is barely noticed.
Mouthfeel is light bodied for a barleywine.
Taste begins with chocolate malt, with some caramel notes quickly jumping in. Hops are, surprisingly, restrained here, resulting in what I would call a strong brown ale character. I keep waiting for the hops to kick in as this reaches room temperature, but except for some understated pine cone and faint florals, they never become assertive.
I'm no expert on this style, but this is a unique interpretation based on the other barleywines I've sampled. I'm not complaining, by any means, as I found this one very nice and would, certainly, buy it again. Very complex, and understated.

12 ounce bottle, with bottled on dating notched onto the label. Pours a dark reddish amber, white head quickly subsiding and leaving minor lacing. Nose is of shelled peanuts and some caramel. This is an understated, subtle ale, a tad on the light side for a barley wine. Minor hop notes and malt is smooth and moderate. British style all the way. Nice sipper, but needs some more oomph to rate with the finer brews of the style. Wouldnt pay top $ for this creation

3.35/5 rDev -1.8%
A very attractive mahogany color with a full finger of off-white head...some fine lacing produced as I work my way through this offering.
Faint aroma of raisins, sweet malt and fruity hops...a hint of alcohol with a lingering nose.
Taste is pretty average...some vanilla bean, more raisins and a watered down rum flavor.
Mouthfeel is fairly thin for the style, yet not too thin and the carbonation could be much less IMO.
I am glad I tried another one of these before throwing down a review...the last one I had was off and while this is not really impressing me, it is giving me a better experience and makes me want to get up to VT and find this on on tap.
Goes down very easily and the alcohol is only slightly detected.

4.38/5 rDev +28.4%
Appearance: 1/4 inch head, clear, dark brown in color, small carbonation
Smell: toasted malt, chocolate, caramel, and a hint of coffee
Taste: toasted malt, chocolate, caramel, touch of hops, and a hint of earth and pepper at the end
Mouthfeel: low carbonation, slick, smooth, semi-sweet, medium bodied
Drinkability: This is my new favorite in this style. I like the maltiness. This has touches of a good porter and Wee Heavy. The taste is complexand is about as sessionable as a barleywine can be. My favorite from Rock Art.

Poured into a pint glass at Manhattans Pizza
Pours a rich deep amber with some slight ruby notes. Nose is light and bitter with some smooth hops to finish it off.
Taste is a perfect combination of sweet, bitter and smooth. It's really drinkable and and awesome somewhat tame barleywine. It's a good gateway to bigger beers like the Vermonster!

Ridge Runner does not start off resembling a Barleywine, lacking the sugary sweetness that usually accompanies these beers. Instead, its notes are partly sweet--brown sugars and vanillas--but partly earthy, including loam and toasted nuts.
On the tongue, the beer begins with a smack of toasted nut and earthiness that is quite pronounced, balanced by a good amount of malt sweetness that resembles brown sugar. Light fig, plum, and apricot fruit esters swirl in the background, as well as a coffee-with-heavy-cream runnel. Lychee nut flavors round out the citrusy notes, here brought by a good handful or two of hops, which further bring a rosewater thread to the brew. The aftertaste is largely toasted nuts and roasted malts, and lasts for a good while. Mouthfeel is medium-light, and carbonation is medium.
Overall, while this does not resemble a Barleywine as I'm familiar with the style--and at 7.5% ABV, is one of the weaker of the lot, which usually run 8-12%--it is still a delicious beer, having excellent flavors that are well balanced and finely nuanced. Many of the low scores I give in this review are simply a result of the brew not resembling the style it purports to be, and thus appearing mislabeled.

Bottled June 2002. Deep mahogany color with a beige frothy head that shrinks quickly, but leaves lacing around the glass. Aroma is of malt and toffee, hints of raisin, and a bit of alocohol. Flavor is of malt, cocoa, light coffee, and some raisin. Definite alcohol tingle creeps into the finish. Smooth mouthfeel, moderate carbonation, but a bit watery just the same. Well-balanced barleywine that emphasizes flavor and doesn't have to kick you in the head to make an impact.

Thanks to my brother for this bottle.
A: Pours a deep ruby/brown color with a small tan head that fades quickly and leaves behind thin and sporadic lacing.
S: Lots of caramel and candied sugar with a little bit of dark fruit - some raisins and prunes.
T: Similar to the aroma, but comes of a little bland for style. Some caramelized malt and a little bit of non-descript dark fruit.
M: Medium bodied, but seems a little thin for style. Medium carbonation.
O: Have had some pretty good beers from Rock Art, but this one was a bit if a disappointment.

Hazy dark purple body with little sediment; an iced tea-like white head, thin and scattered... decidedly hoppy and robust--yet a doen thrust of malt vying for balance--spruce and pine aromas... a bit thin for a barleywine--medium-bodied would be generous... plays well through the mouth--not aggressive but substantial--smoother by mid-bottle... hard hops with a slight warmth at the throat--mouth watering! hints of malt, but not as pronounced as in the aroma... solid--and although the day's weather (a muggy June evening) hasn't provided the optimal barleywine setting, this is a nice, flavorful end to the sampler, the most intriguing of the mix...

Aromatherapy Candles
- Details
- Parent Category: Health & Beauty
- Category: Beauty
Aromatherapy CandlesThey're so simple, yet so effective. Aromatherapy candles do more than fragrance the rooms in your home. They emit scents that have the power to enhance your mood, lift your spirits and heal your tensions. Whereas aromatherapy bath salts have to be utilized in the tub, and essential oils require burners or diffusers, aromatherapy candles are their own neat little package. All you need is a match or a lighter and other than that, they're totally self-contained.
Self contained fragrant wonders
Burning aromatherapy candles brings warmth to a room. The fragrance and the soft glow of the flame provide beautiful ambience, and when complemented with fresh flowers, can transform a dull space into one that inspires health and harmony. When shopping for aromatherapy candles, be sure not to confuse them with scented ones, which merely contain a fragrance, and not natural essential oils. It is these pure oils that offer the therapeutic benefits, and likely mean a more expensive purchase. You can, however, intensify a scented candle by adding a couple of drops of essential oil near its wick before lighting. Small bottles of these oils can be bought online or from speciality stores. Aromatherapy candles make a lovely wedding gift. The newly married couple might like to use them on the wedding night to create an even more romantic atmosphere. Imagine the handsome groom and his blissful bride looking into each other's eyes, savouring a perfume that will linger for years to come as a reminder of their big day. If looking for a birthday gift for a friend or relative, something not as expensive as jewelry but just as thoughtful, aromatherapy candles might be just the idea. Several kinds exist on the market. Instead of regular paraffin wax, they can also be made from soy, palm or beeswax, and moulded into interesting shapes. Votive candles are available in glass, tea lights float in water and pillars make a more bold statement. You can even obtain gel candles, which, although popular for their transparent properties, tend to be a little less stable when it comes to the longevity of the aroma provided by the oils. Keep in mind that care must be exercised when using aromatherapy candles for the purpose of inducing sleep, for obvious reasons. Be sure to use a fireproof surface underneath to protect the furniture upon which it stands, just in case. The power of fragrance to affect our state of mind is as significant as that of music to make us move our body. Experiment with different scents to determine which work for you in the way that you desire. In the same way that Mozart might help you drift off to a peaceful slumber, and the Rolling Stones might pump you up for an energetic day, you can customize the way you apply aromatherapy to your life by trying diverse categories of aromas. At the very least, it's a truly interesting process, but it has the potential to make a genuine difference to the way you begin and end each day.

As others have stated this is a very nice, good- quality rug, plush with minimal shedding. It does look different than the photo, the colors are not bright but much more muted and dark. The border color looks like navy blue from a distance but on closer inspection it is actually a mixture of blue and green wool thread. The predominant shades in this rug are navy blue and a sort of burgandy red. There is not as much contrast in shades on the center pattern work as the photo would have you believe. It is much more understated, so if that is the look you are going for you will be happy with this rug. The only problem I have had is the smell...it has a slight mildew scent, something that the manufacturer must have anticipated as it came with alot of those little "dry-out" packets wrapped up in it. I have had this rug for about a month now and the scent is starting to go away so I am hoping it is just the smell of the dye.
The material and construction of the rug looks fine. I'm giving 1 star so that this review might stand out to those of you looking at the picture on the site imagining there are more gold/light tones to this rug. This is FAR from the case. The rug itself has few light tones. The gold overtones of the picture are non-existent and there is NO light, turquoisey blue at all. It is a dark design. It was disappointing first of all to see the actual colors on the rug, and then being charged $** for shipping in the return when I felt the picture misrepresented it in the first place has now had me resolve never to buy these kinds of items on overstock again.
this rug is beautiful, and we've enjoyed it's colors and softness, but have HATED how much it sheds. I vacuum it almost every day and there are always wads of wool fibres atop it, getting stuck to clothes, shoes, cats, and children. A pretty rug, but I'd not buy it again.
For the money, you can't beat this rug's value. The hand-made wool feels really nice, and hasn't shed at all for me. I will say that the photo on the Overstock site is using a flash, so the rug is well illuminated. In an average home, the rug will appear darker than pictured. I placed this rug on a darker hardwood floor in my dining room and it added a warmth and richness that i was looking for.
I love this rug. The color contrast is so amazing. I have received so many compliments. It really tied the whole room together. So glad I made this purchase, couldn't be more happier!
As always, shipping was SUPER fast! The rug is for our entry foyer in a 120 house and it is perfect! It's very plush and feels wonderful underfoot. Surprisingly, there were no fold marks when we laid the rug down which was an added bonus! As several other reviews mention, it is darker overall than the photo shows but it is still lovely and a wonderful quality for the price!
bought the rug for our living room. I love it as it has several colors in it which you can pull from to decorate. the colors are dark and I expected that after reading others reviews....monitors display colors differently...but I've had several compliments on the rug. It is still shedding a bit but it isn't noticeable until I vacuum and I'd expect that this will end with time.
All the colors are very rich. The blue edging is the darkest teal or a "steel" blue. It does shed, so we vacuum, like we would any other rug. Very pleased with the rug; it is on a hard word floor, next to ceramic tile with dark blues, tans and browns - perfect.
Great value for the money. Just as described and pictured. An extra value having a heavy rug delivered to my font door. Love it.
Love the colors and the look of this rug. Super durable, and woll is spill resistant (perfect under a dining table). All that for ynder $00 with the rug pad. Really, I don't know how they do it for that rpice - can't even get an crap synthetic XXXX rug thissize for that price. I am super happy with the purchase. The only warning is that you will have wool fuzzies around the house for a few weeks until you've vacuumed it sufficiently.

THE SCREENING ROOM: Samantha Barks, Nick Jonas, Lea Salonga, Michael Ball and More Sing "A Little Fall of Rain" (Video)
By Playbill Staff
The highly anticipated, star-studded film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical Les Misérables will hit theatres on Christmas Day. With the film release a few days away, Playbill.com has surfed the web for some of our favorite performances of "A Little Fall of Rain" from the musical.
The iconic duet, performed by the characters of Eponine and Marius in Les Miz, features music by Claude-Michel Schonberg and original French lyrics by Alain Boublil. The song was later translated into English by Herbert Kretzmer, and features orchestrations by John Cameron.

M.O.M.'s by M.O.M.'s-Mothers on Mountains - about 1 year ago
"We are four mothers who backpack mountains, hence our name "Mothers on Mountains" aka M.O.Ms. Each year we backpack a wilderness trail such as Appalachian Trail and other beautiful trails. Here we are on our 25th annual trip in Shenandoah National Park. I was happy to work with your vast graphics library. It took mere minutes to design the shirt logo from your graphics. The production process was amazingly fast - from design to door- only 4 days. I also appreciated the progress e-mails."

As the brass quintet launched into a sweeping rendition of an old Hollywood score, camera crews captured the historic action. This was one of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra's controversial Classically Cannabis fundraisers, possibly the first-ever symphonic marijuana celebration anywhere -- even if the private event, held at the posh new Space Gallery on Santa Fe Drive, was for the most part unremarkable.
While few Colorado artists get to perform at the annual Aspen Music Festival, the Colorado Symphony Chorus (CSC) is a rare exception. The prestigious event is mostly focused on top, international talent. However on August 17, director Duain Wolfe will once again lead the ensemble to the festival, as he has done for more than 20 years.
The Consulate General of Mexico in Denver, the Mexican Cultural Center, and the Colorado Symphony arethrilled to present El Latir de México, a free community concert that commemorates the 204th anniversary of Mexico's Independence, on Monday, September 15, 7:00 pm, at Boettcher Concert Hall
Leave your headphones at home and help the Colorado Symphony kick off its 2014/15 concert season by participating in the Colorado Symphony 5K Run/Walk on September 20. Put a team together; bring your family, friends and pets; and join us for a fun-filled event. Majestic music will lead you on a beautiful run/walk around the Sloan's Lake neighborhood.

The consumption of memory addresses below 4GB can be drastic on high-end gaming systems with large video cards. For example, I purchased one from a boutique gaming rig company that came with 4GB of RAM and two 1GB video cards. I hadn't specified the OS version and assumed that they'd put 64-bit Vista on it, but it came with the 32-bit version and as a result only 2.2GB of the memory was accessible by Windows. You can see a giant memory hole from 8FEF0000 to FFFFFFFF in this Meminfo output from the system after I installed 64-bit Windows.

The city council voted Tuesday night to issue a retail alcohol license to the local convenience store. The proprietors informed council members at the last meeting that they would be selling beer and wine.
The motion to approve the alcohol license passed 7-1. District Three representative Bobby Busby was the lone dissenting vote.
More than 70 percent of Cordova residents voted to go wet in a referendum held in May.
Also on Tuesday, the council held a public hearing concerning an application to sell alcohol that has been submitted by BP Food Mart, which recently opened in a gas station on Burlington Avenue that has been closed since 2011.
Police chief Nick Smith, who is charged with reviewing the application, said everything seemed in order.
Smith said the proprietor owns other gas stations in Adamsville and Huntsville. Law enforcement in those areas reported no problems.
During the public hearing, two local residents expressed opposition to alcohol sales in general but not BP Food Mart specifically.
A vote is not expected on the application until the first meeting in January 2014.

In a move that looks poised to compete with Apple TV, and further stretch the Xbox brand, Microsoft are reportedly preparing to launch a new set-top device, as a low-cost alternative to a full games console that will be able to stream video and play performance-friendly social games and such. (via The Verge):
We're told that the set-top box is part of a two-SKU strategy for Microsoft's next-generation of Xbox hardware that will be unveiled in 2013, with a release date ahead of the holiday shopping season. The device will run on the core components of Windows 8 and support casual gaming titles rather than full Xbox games typically found on a dedicated console. Although hardware specifications aren't fully locked down, we understand Microsoft will use a chipset to enable an "always on" device that boots quickly and resumes to provide near-instant access to TV and entertainment services.Microsoft has not confirmed the plans, but rather than their usual line not to "comment on rumour and speculation", instead noted that "We are always thinking about what is next for our platform and how to continue to defy the lifecycle convention".

What To Blog About…When Writer's Block Strikes
A stark white screen…
…barren all but for the ominous, maddening blink of the cursor. Blink…Blink…BLINK! It happened. You thought you'd hit a pretty good stride with your blog over the past few weeks, words flowing from your fingertips like water from a tap. But now…nothing. Nothing but the soft, unrelenting tick of the cursor. The challenge is this: What to blog about when there's nothing to blog about?
Can't Find Your Muse? Stop Looking.
The inspiration for a good blog post could come from anywhere. A news article, a comment overheard from a stranger, a random thought that comes to you while you're out walking the dog. Sometimes finding a subject to write about isn't the problem. You may be bursting with ideas for blog posts but when it gets down to writing them you stall. Why is that? The key is that any subject you approach, whatever it may be, has to mean something to you in the moment. You have to have something to say about it. Topical relevance is only a part of the equation. Yes, you have to blog about subjects that your followers want to read, but you also have to write the post that you would want to read. When your approach to writing that blog post is forced, disinterested and shallow, your readers can tell.
If it's not working, stop trying. Like a word that is on the tip of your tongue, creativity often doesn't come to you until you stop trying to draw it forth. If it's right, if it's going to be a good one, you'll know. It'll just work. If it doesn't feel right, don't push it.
Writer's Block? Pfft.
You see, there really isn't any such thing as writer's block. It doesn't exist. It's more superstition than substance. Once you convince yourself that you're suffering from writer's block it's much more difficult to shake it. What you need is an inspiration overhaul, and maybe to broaden your horizons a bit.
Narrow Your Focus…But Zoom Out A Bit
I'm all for getting specific, knowing your niche, focusing sharply on your audience and getting inside their heads. Think about the type of content your audience is looking for. Is your scope too narrow? Perhaps you should try branching out into other subjects. Don't stray too far away from your core though. Would it be a good idea for a car dealership's blog to start doing movie reviews? Eh…I don't know about that. But what about a mommy blogger? Sure! Her readers would probably appreciate reviews on family friendly films. What about a social media blogger doing coffee reviews? Nah, that would just be stupid. Don't be afraid to try new things!
Never make assumptions about what your core audience wants to read, or for that matter who they are, without testing the waters a bit. The range of topics you cover may be lacking diversity, and diversity might just be the thing to replenish your stores of creativity.
Be Provocative, But Don't Alienate
Have you ever stalled when writing a piece because you just didn't feel safe approaching it from one angle or another?
With business blogs, there is a fine line between being provocative and committing online suicide. Certain subjects, those in the political spectrum especially, are simply too taboo, but where is that line for you? Those blogging anonymously have the pick of the litter when it comes to blogging topics, but those who have their personal reputation or the reputation of their company on the line have to be a bit more careful. Still, one shouldn't be afraid to give one's audience a gentle prodding every once in a while.
How do you measure the success of any given blog post? Is it the sheer number of visits? Is it the frequency of social media shares, or do you measure it by the amount of interaction in the comments? Hotbed topics obviously get more action, but how does one approach these issues without alienating portions of one's audience?
Tread lightly here, but don't be afraid to take a stance as long as it isn't an offensive or divisive one. Many companies are so afraid to express an opinion or a moral stance on any given issue that at times they come off as hollow and disingenuous. Making a statement can be the thing that sets you apart from the competition.
Test the waters a bit and see how your audience reacts, rather than diving headlong into it with a heavily polarizing opinion piece. You audience might appreciate your honesty and the personal touch you bring to recent headline news stories. Stand out over others that cover them in a boring, sterilized evening news fashion.
Don't Know What To Write About? Just Ask.
Having trouble coming up with topics to write about? Why don't you ask your readers what they want to read more about? Show your readers that you value their input and solicit them for ideas with each blog post you write. Ask your social media followers! You could even setup a suggestions page/contact forum/forum on your website specifically to accept ideas from your readers. It's one more way to encourage engagement with your posts.
Start Another Blog, Just For Fun!
Do you have another venue for your writing? Are you trying to return to writing after a hiatus?
Part of the reason you may have trouble writing is the pressure. Setting up another blog, just for fun, to write about hobbies, interests, or whatever comes to mind is a great way to get yourself writing. No pressure, no commitments, and it gives you an excuse to write on a regular basis. It's easier to keep writing great content if you're writing all the time. Try it! Even if you do it anonymously, or only distribute the blog to friends and family, it might end up being the thing you need to get the ball rolling again.
Thanks for reading. Do you think you have the cure for writer's block? What works for you? Where do you find your inspiration for blogging topics? Head down to the comments section and share!

i will be moving to anacortos around july and am wondering if there is anything close by to climb indoor or outdoor. thank you for suggestions
You are basically right below Mt Erie, which is some pretty nice climbing. Not a ton of it, but theres a couple hundred routes to do. fun ones too. Theres also stuff in bellingham, and only a couple hours from Squamish or Liberty Bell climbs.
The nearest gym is probably Vertical World in Everett, it's ok, older style, short walls, homey feel, route setting is very erratic - sometimes awesome, sometimes horrible. As was already said, Erie is right there. Index is probably the next closest crag, and I've heard that there are some nice sport climbing areas in Mount Vernon. For alpine Hwy 20 is the way to go, awesome granite at Washington Pass, adventure climbing out off Cascade River rd, sport climbing in Mazama. in summer it's hard to beat the north cascades.
There are a couple of gyms in Bellingham but that's an hour away. Skagit Alpine Club is the local climbing club and has many members in Anacortes that you can link up with to climb. I think everything else has been covered. Erie has 400+ routes and a new guide book came out last summer. There is another new guide book that covers Skagit county in general. Hwy 20 should keep you busy for a long time and Squamish is only 3 hours away. Welcome to the area.
Hey David, I got your email, I figured I'd put the info on the guide books here in case anyone else wants to find them too. The new Erie guide is "Rockin' on the Rock; A Guide to Mt. Erie Climbing" by Dallas Kloke with Jim Thompson & Aaron Bryant. The Skagit county guide is "Skagit County Crags (a Climbers Guide)" by Brandon Workman. I think I picked them both up at the Erie General Store.
thanks for your help
I'm moving East in 2 weeks, but just lived in Anacortes for a year. Erie is great in the summer, but I also had a membership at VITAL climbing gym in Bellingham. Great little bouldering gym complete with stationary bikes, free weights, campus board, slackline, open 24/7 to members, great laid-back atmosphere. 45 minute drive from Anacortes.

Very enjoyable lunch with friends.
Very polite service. Piping hot food."

The food was great. I did not feel
claustrophobic in the restaurant. The materials/ ingredients tasted fresh and high quality. Everything was authentic tasting. The waiters brought rice as needed with no upcharge. Over all a nice spot. Nothing spectacular, but nice. I would definitely return again if I am looking for a good meal in Tysons."

Very dark. Food is good but not
outstanding. Service is pretty good."

Very pretty room, with polished
wood floors, silk draperies, and high ceilings. Food and service live up to the setting. Tandoori lamb chops are tender, spicy. Lentil dishes are very good too."
Dined on 2/28/2014
I went with my parents and we
enjoyed our meals. The chicken tikka masala my parents really enjoyed. I asked for chole (not on the menu) and they made it for me, which was great. The samosas were fabulous! And also the garlic naan and onion kulcha were really good as well."
Dined on 2/18/2014
went on recommendation by an
Indian friend. I was impressed with the food as I have not been a fan of Indian since my trip to Mumbai. Butter chicken, chicken biriyani were delicious. the mango ice cream dessert was good, even if it was frozen when served. I shall return or recommend if Indian Food is suggested in the Tysons area."
Dined on 2/7/2014
My wife and I ordered kadhai
chicken and muttar paneer. The food quality in my opinion was terrible. The muttar paneer tasted like it was freezer food. The service was great and they were very friendly. I don't know if I will ever go there again though."
Dined on 1/24/2014
Not as good as the other reviews
imply. Have had better Indian food at other restaurants in DC area. Food was lukewarm and not generous servings."
Dined on 10/19/2013
We were at BT for the lunch
buffet. Overall it was very good but nothing special. The buffet selection is small, everything was tasty but nothing wow'd me, and I had to flag the waiter down several times."
Dined on 10/10/2013
Very nice lunch buffet with a good
variety of food and spicing. Staff were attentive and friendly."
Dined on 7/20/2013
Great find! Small but intimate
strip mall restaurant with very good Indian food. Menu was large and the food was very good. Portions were ample, but not oversized."
Dined on 2/16/2013
Excellent food in fairly large
portions. The Nan with garlic and onions was some of the best I have ever had. Most of all I was stunned at the reasonableness of the prices. My wife made reservations here for Valentine's Day as a last minute thing. We had never eaten there before but we found a new gem not to far from our home. We will be back!"
Dined on 2/14/2013
Very gracious waitstaff, nice
interior. Food was good but portions on the small side."
Dined on 2/8/2013
Lovely weekend lunch/brunch.
Depsite its somewhat obcure location, its worth the traffic on Rt 7."
Dined on 2/2/2013
The good was amazing! We were
seated immediately because I made reservation in November 2012. The quite music played was orgin India music. The waiter was so amazing he explain each dish we chose. I had never ate lamp before in my life! And it was great. I will eat it from now on because of this restaurant. I would recommend this restaurant for anyone in the area. It was only two and hafls blocks from the hotel. It was easy to locate. We where here for the President Inguaral on Monday, January 21, 2013. The restaurant was not crowed at all. It did not overbook the place therefore you could eat in peace and not feel rushed to leave because they needed the table. When I come back I will bring my friends to this restaurant and dine!"

service prompt and competent but was marred by relentless upselling. The waiter told us at first that one bottle of wine could not be split among the five of us who were drinking. He urged additional bread and kept pushing us to order dessert even though we said we did not want any."

I ran across this Indian
restaurant during a Google search and was looking for an Indian restaurant with ambiance. Many times Indian food comes from a take type place and it is often disappointing. Bombay Tandoor is an exception. The decor is pleasant and open. High ceilings and portraits of Indian nobility add to the simple but inviting space. The service was prompt and attentive. The menu is filled with a variety of Indian favorites and among my party, we sampled several options. All were expertly prepared and with just the right amount of spices. The naan bread was superb! I will definitely be back!"

We went to Bombay Tandoor for a
reunion; the staff was courteous; food was good; ambience was great as well."
Dined on 12/14/2012
Overall the food was fair, but I
expected more from the restaurant. Reading the good customer reviews and viewing the website, I expected a good dining experience. I thought the price was high for the service and quality of the food. Their non-vegitarian items were slightly better. I won't go there again."
Dined on 10/26/2012
Wonderful food. Lots of spicy and
complex flavors. I look forward to returning."
Dined on 8/26/2012
Very good food and service. I
would definitely go back."
Dined on 8/7/2012
Its an amazing place where I had a
wonderful dinner with my fiance recently. The staff were very nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place."
Dined on 7/29/2012
This place can surprise, based on
my eating there several times 1) The service is generally bad. You wait for the server, the drink you requested, the bread you want to use to eat your food, and just about everything else. 2) The food is really really quite good. The lunch buffet is rather traditional and certainly caters to the tastes of non-Indians, with features like the butter chicken, chicken tandoori, and . It's also a steal at $12. The dinner has a lot of options for those more acquainted with Indian cuisine- the chicken vindaloo is consistently delicious. The portions can be quite small, by American standards. 3) the ambiance is much nicer on the inside than the building suggests- you forget you're in an office building."
Dined on 6/8/2012
The wait staff was exceptionally
attentive. The food was good, although I had to return my eggplant from my "thali" as it tasted a bit off."
Dined on 6/2/2012
Excellent food - one of the best.
Service can vary...."
Dined on 5/14/2012
The food is outstanding. The
chicken was prepared to perfection. The lamb chops were even better. The service is great. The ambiance is very nice. The service is top notch and very kid friendly. Can't wait to catch their lunch buffet."
Dined on 5/6/2012
Food was some of the best Indian
we have had locally. Lovely ambiance and noise level just enough to cover the noise of our children, while not too loud. Only "complaint" would be that it was a little pricy, but not out of line with the other Indian restaurants we have been recently."
Dined on 5/4/2012
The attentive and responsive
service is notable compared to other restaurants in the price category. Our server was creative in finding small crockery that we could use to share tastes of the excellent dishes and just as quietly competent in cleaning up the ravages of a spilled drink. We look forward to more visits and further exploration of the tempting and extensive menu."
Dined on 4/21/2012
The restaurant is reliably good.
Lots of Indian Americans who use is to host major events. The service is Ok. The owner took care of our table during this visit. He was responsive, just busy."
Dined on 3/22/2012
Bombay Tandoor is one of the few
fine vegetarian dining experiences I've experienced in the Washington, D.C. area. All of the vegetarian dishes we tried were delectable and pleasing to the eye, too. The service was attentive and timely. And it all came at a remarkable affordable rate. We'll definitely go back again!"
Dined on 2/25/2012
Good food. Service a little slow.
Slow night and therefore quiet"
Dined on 2/19/2012
Hi, The food was average, but the
gratuity charged for a group of 18, was just ridiculous (25% of the total biil). I am a frequent business traveller in this area since June, and have eaten much better food for less. Please make a note of this. Thanks, Sameer Shukla"
Dined on 2/15/2012
Food was great, service was a
little slow (may have been due to holiday). I would recommend this place to all."
Dined on 2/14/2012
Consistent food at a fair price.
Been there several times and it has delivered. Only caveat is they host many events for the Indian Community and the restaurant can be noisey. You may wish to call in advance to see if they have a large event booked"
Dined on 12/30/2011
Perhaps the best Indian food in
Northern Virginia. Wonderfully fresh ingredients, great curries and chutneys, although the Vindaloo could have been a bit less tame."
Dined on 12/26/2011
Most of the restaurant was blocked
off do to a reception, forcing us to sit by the door. Mid way through dinner a construction-like noise kept sounding and rattling the walls. This continued for about 5 minutes. Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken were too similar in taste. Vindaloo, Paneer, and Kabobs were good."
Dined on 12/16/2011
Had the lunch buffet and it
offered meat and vegetarian options. Decent Indian food."
Dined on 11/30/2011
They were having a loud wedding
celebration in 2/3 of the restaurant, so we left without being seated."

Little and Big
Little and Big
Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
In the July, 2008 issue, I wrote about the announcement from Microsoft that they were keeping Windows XP around past its planned retirement date, in large part to fend off the challenge posed by a new class of ulta low-cost PCs (ULPC) that was emerging in the market. Particularly popular was a hot-selling little Linux mini known as the ASUS Eee PC. At the time, surging sales of the Eee PC had the potential to threaten Microsoft's market share, and they decided to keep XP around to hold a place in the ultra-light market.
At the time, I wrote, "You have to credit Microsoft for being smart enough to notice that they need to adapt. But whenever they make this kind of a correction to ward off a threat, they give up a little more control. This move lends credibility to the low-cost computer movement, virtually ensuring its survival. And though they have temporarily checked the pace of Linux adoption by offering XP to ULPC vendors at a deeply discounted price, in the long run, the quantity of free Linux applications, and the reduced need for malware tools, offers significant advantages to Linux in the ultra-light market."
As we all suspected, this huge and sudden route correction from Microsoft followed their standard practice of using market power to overwhelm an uncertain situation and snuff out disruptive technologies. Since then, they have virtually co-opted the Eee PC. Many US electronics outlets don't even carry the Linux version anymore. If you click on the "Learn More" link for any of the models at the EEE PC models at the ASUS site, you will see a little note at the top of the screen that says, "ASUS recommends Windows © for everyday computing." (Do you think they got any help with that wording?)
Many consider the Eee PC assimilation a dark chapter and a serious setback for the Linux community, but take heart, Linux users, because the battle is not the war. As I mentioned in my previous column, this short-term Microsoft victory came at the expense of some long-term control. To avoid the problem of XP competing with Vista, this netbook-ready XP edition was explicitly licensed only for systems with very limited hardware. You weren't supposed to use it on computers that had more than 1GB of memory, faster than a 1GHz processor, or bigger than a 10.2 inch screen.
Fast forward to now. The Dell Inspiron 15n portable is not an ultra-mini at all but an ordinary PC notebook with 2.16 GHz, 2GM memory, and a 15.6 inch screen, yet it is selling for the very mini US$299. In other words, you can get this standard-scale laptop for a mini laptop price. Onboard the Inspiron 15n is Ubuntu 8.10.
Although the 15n's bargain price might be due to many extraneous factors, including overstock and economy-induced sales issues, this simple example illustrates how precarious Microsoft's arbitrary licensing arrangements are in today's competitive market. The reality is that, instead of selling Linux minis for just under the price of Windows minis (a situation that Microsoft probably fully expected), Dell is instead plowing the Linux cost savings into expanding the hardware. In short, you can get a 15-inch Linux system for the cost of a 10-inch Windows system.
The line between a mini and a standard laptop thus appears unexpectedly fuzzy, and Microsoft's artificial hardware limitations on the XP rehash look quite futile in the tide of the changing times. Now Redmond must either give up market share for these larger laptops (which will appeal to them even less than giving up market share on smaller laptops), or they can give up the arbitrary hardware limitations for XP minis, which will put XP back into competition with Vista, or they can lower the price of Windows Vista to make it more competitive in the new round of pricing. Whatever the choice, the reality is the same: despite the ease with which they fended off the Eee PC threat, Microsoft finds itself on the same shifting sands we're all on.

Light, good features, waistbelt could be improved.

Fit: Could have been a little longer for me, straps were still tight at their longest length.
Comfort: Great ventilation, padding slipped out from under the strap near the buckle.
Capacity: Seems big for a 50l, no outside pickets mean everything is inside though.
Organization & Accessibility: There's no organization. But that makes it light. No outside pocket means you have to take the pack off to access anything.
Ride: Depends on how you pack it. Seemed to be good, but slipped a little on my hips. I am a tad overweight though so that could affect it.
Compression: Side compression straps cinch it down nicely.
Features: Simplify, and add lightness.

Awesome comfortable lightweight pack.
- Carries well
- Comfortable
- Lightweight
- Built very well
- Durable
- Minimalist but adequate features.
- Hip belt could use a pocket
This pack is very comfortable and carries as well as a full feature pack. It is very lightweight and durable. The lid stretches on the sides and is very easy to cover the top of the main compartment with. Very adjustable waist and shoulder straps.
Compression straps are placed well on the pack and work well. The hydration bladder sleeve is a nice feature, and side pockets fit a 1L Nalgene Wide Mouth soft cantene very well if you take that route like I do. Gear loops and webbing are well placed, and the pole carry setup is very convenient.
My base weight is just under 12 lbs before food and only takes up about half the pack's volume even with my bear boxer contender bear can, so I haven't even come close to the limit of its carry capacity therefore I can't comment on how well it handles a heavy load.

Greensburg —
Paul Stone won the Indy Super Pull at the Indiana State Fair and is currently second in the nation in the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Pro Stock Class.
The Stone's campaign a 3,000 horsepower, 10,000 pound Pro Stock John Deere 4620 named the Rollin' Stone. Paul said he and his father Tim Stone have been pulling together since 1999.
Two years ago, Tim began building the current tractor which is completely hand-made. Stone attributes the tractor's success to finally being able to get it well-tuned, keeping the parts up-to-date and moving weights at the right time.
Stone said they are currently running second in a close points chase which will conclude at Lucas Oil Speedway in Missouri in September.
The next national level pull will be at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — The holiday season is turning out to be anything but a festive time for Robert and Theresa Duell.
"We are on pins and needles, and we can't sleep at night," Robert said. "It's all we think about, and we can't relax."
After living at 94 Abenaki Road in the Abenaki Mobile Home Park for the past 30 years, the Duells got a notice saying they were being evicted.
"I went to pay the rent at the beginning of this month, and she (landlady Phyllis Gregory) wouldn't take it and told us we were being evicted," said Robert, 80.
"I was confused. I didn't understand it."
Gregory reportedly told the Duells they are "objectionable" tenants. The problem is tiny.
Not tiny, as in a small matter, but rather Tiny as in a small chihuahua.
The Duells have had Tiny, all 8 pounds of him, for the past four years. He is more than just a pet, they say.
"My wife has a very serious hearing problem, and when I am not here, she relies on the dog to let her know if someone is at the door or something," Robert said.
The couple have a note from Dr. Fern E. Likhite attesting to the fact that Theresa has hearing difficulties and needs the dog for assistance.
Still, the eviction notice stood.
The ultimatum for the Duells is to either move out this weekend or get rid of Tiny, which they say is not going to happen.
"That dog is my wife's first priority," Robert said. "She loves him so much she would never part with him."
Theresa's attachment to Tiny was evident during a recent visit, as she cuddled the perky dog while tears streamed down her cheeks.
Moving the mobile home is not an option since it is a 1973 model and will not meet specifications at any other mobile-home park. The Duells are worried that they might have to live in their car.
"Right before Christmas, we really don't need this in our lives," Robert said. "We pray every night that this will work out somehow."
The Duells have had a dog ever since they've lived at Abenaki, he said, and they do not understand the change in rules.
"I could understand if the dog was running around biting people, but this dog hardly ever even leaves the house," Robert said.
Gregory said the lease says there are no dogs allowed and that the Duells have been told many times to get rid of the dog.
"I'm just doing my job," she said, referring all other inquiries to her attorney, Joseph Mucia.
Mucia did not return a call from the Press-Republican.
The Duells hope something can be worked out.
"We are just two old people minding our own business," a frustrated Robert said. "We don't know why this is happening."

Since he isn't much of a cook, he's channeling his chef obsession into Fitz's Four-Course Fantasy Feast, a regular column featuring an appetizer, salad, entrée and dessert. Bon appétit.
Appetizer: Roasted new potatoes with blue cheese
This was supposed to be a good year for new (read: rookie) running backs, but it hasn't really worked out that way. Fantasy owners who took a chance on the running backs selected in the first round of the NFL draft have been feeling blue lately. Will these owners still be feeling that way a month from now?
Ryan Mathews appeared to be the safest play among this year's rookie runners, but he has yet to gain full traction with the Chargers. It was widely assumed that Mathews would (ahem) hit the ground running and be San Diego's workhorse right from the start. He had 20 carries for 78 yards in Week One but has carried only 35 times in his other four games.
The good news for Mathews owners is that his lack of productivity so far is largely circumstantial. He injured his ankle in Week Two after five carries. He missed Week Three, then returned and was used sparingly in a Week Four blowout of the Cardinals. In each of the last two weeks, the Chargers dug early holes for themselves and were forced to try to pass their way back into contention, so Mathews had only 21 combined carries in those games. Mathews is averaging 5.1 yards per carry, and San Diego's running game has been better this season. The Chargers are averaging 4.3 yards per carry, a big improvement on last year's NFL-worst 3.3 yards per carry. Mike Tolbert and Darren Sproles are useful backs but too one-dimensional to knock Mathews out of the picture. The Chargers play in a bad division and face a bunch of soft run defenses in the second half of the regular season. Mathews is an excellent buy-low opportunity.
Jahvid Best scored two TDs in his NFL debut and then exploded for three TDs and 232 yards from scrimmage in his second game, but he hasn't scored a TD or hit 100 yards from scrimmage in any of his last four games.
A turf-toe injury and a lousy offensive line are potential problems for Best owners. Turf toe can be a nagging malady, and the Lions' offensive line has been a nagging malady for years. (The fact that OLT Jeff Backus made his 150th consecutive start for Detroit last week is less a testament to Backus' longevity than a testament to a decade of front-office incompetence.) Best has toughed it out with the foot injury, and his shiftiness as a receiver out of the backfield helps make up for subpar run blocking. Don't expect many 100-yard rushing games out of him this season, but he should still pile up plenty of yardage, and you can expect him to find his way back into the endzone not long after the Lions return from their Week Seven bye.
C.J. Spiller ... (sigh). The first running back taken in this year's NFL draft has 19 carries in five games, and he hasn't had double-digit touches in a game since Week One.
(Bigger sigh.)
The Buffalo Bills have become a Mickey Mouse organization. It's sad, because Bills fans deserve so much better. The team is going nowhere, and it's using the No. 9 overall pick in the draft — a pick that could have been used to plug gaping holes at any number of positions — primarily as a kick returner. Spiller has a ton of talent, and I'd love to be able to predict bigger and better things for him the rest of the way, but the Bills are so ham-handed that they can't be trusted to set this Spiller situation right.
Salad: Caesar salad
A true Caesar salad has to have anchovies. That slightly fishy taste makes all the difference.
Speaking of "fishy," I've been puzzled by the lack of playing time for a pair of running backs (and I'm not counting C.J. Spiller, discussed above). Are there things going on behind the scenes that we don't know about? Are these guys lazy in practice? Are they disliked in the locker room? Are they backups to coaches' pets? If their coaching staffs wise up, these two backs could quickly gain fantasy value:
Bernard Scott — Cedric Benson is a solid back, but he's a plodder. He was averaging 3.3 yards per carry before rolling up 144 rushing yards against the Buccaneers in Week Five. Scott is an exciting runner who could add some needed sizzle to the Cincinnati offense, but Scott has only 17 rushing attempts this season; Benson has 103. Scott has averaged 4.4 yards per carry during his brief career, but the Bengals have been strangely reluctant to turn him loose. It's hard to understand why Scott can't get, say, a 30 percent stake in the Bengals' running game.
Tashard Choice — Yes, Choice's costly fumble against the Redskins in Week One, returned for a TD on the final play of the first half, is perhaps the biggest gaffe of the NFL season so far (though it wasn't Choice who elected not to have Tony Romo take a knee even though Dallas appeared to be out of Hail Mary range). If that fumble is the reason why Choice remains in cold storage, it's a foolish one. Dallas hasn't been able to establish a consistent ground game. Marion Barber looks washed up, and Felix Jones looks like he's lost his quickness. Barber and Jones have combined for 103 carries; Choice has eight carries. With a career average of 5.1 yards a pop, Choice deserves a bigger role.
Entrée: Breaded pork tenderloin sandwich
This is a favorite comfort food in Indianapolis, and Colts fans could use a little comfort in light of the injury woes their team is dealing with. The latest blows are a shoulder injury for RB Joseph Addai (actually, shoulder injuries, plural, since both shoulders are ailing), a hand injury that will keep WR Austin Collie out indefinitely, and a hand/wrist injury for TE Dallas Clark. As of this writing, there were rumors that Clark's injury could be a season-ender, though he was reportedly seeking a third opinion. (Apparently he didn't care much for the first two.) The Colts' official position is that Clark will be out indefinitely, so a hasty return is a pipe dream.
With Clark on the shelf and Jermichael Finley out for the season, only one truly elite fantasy tight end is left standing: Antonio Gates. (And Gates, too, is hurting after injuring and then reinjuring a toe last week.) You know things have gotten dire at the TE position when multiple Cleveland Browns tight ends could end up starting in some fantasy leagues this week.
The Colts' depth chart lists Jacob Tamme as Clark's top backup, followed by Brody Eldridge, followed by Gijon Robinson. Tamme holds University of Kentucky records for catches and receiving yards by a tight end, but he has a grand total of six receptions in two-plus seasons with the Colts. Eldridge is a rookie who made more starts as an offensive lineman (five) than as a tight end (four) during his senior season at Oklahoma. He's caught three passes this season for 23 yards. Robinson was just re-signed after being waived earlier. He's had 28 catches in two seasons with the Colts, averaging 8.1 yards per reception.
Despite the sudden opportunity, it's far-fetched to think that even Peyton Manning can turn any of these guys into worthwhile fantasy commodities. Clark owners, you'd be best to look elsewhere for a replacement.
But those Clark receptions have to be distributed somewhere, and the Colts' wide receivers will no doubt take up a lot of the slack. Reggie Wayne was a must-start player anyway, and the Clark injury might mean even greater week-to-week consistency in Wayne's numbers. Pierre Garcon should gain some snaps, and if he can cash in on his obvious talents while minimizing occasional lapses in concentration, he just might be a top-10 receiver the rest of the way. The intriguing name in the mix: Anthony Gonzalez. The porcelain receiver has been out all season with an ankle injury, and he missed the entire 2009 season with a knee injury. When Gonzalez comes back — and that could happen shortly after the Colts' Week Seven bye — he could provide instant fantasy value in Clark's absence. Blair White will also see more action, but I can't recommend him as a fantasy contributor.
The Addai injury could give Donald Brown an audition as the Colts' featured back. The problem is that Brown himself has been dealing with a hamstring issue, and it's not clear if he'll be ready to roll in Week Eight. If you're a Brown owner, you want him in your lineup for any game he starts while Addai is out. Never mind that the second-year back has thus far failed to make a splash. Colts GM Bill Polian has a pretty good track record in judging RB talent (Marshall Faulk, Edgerrin James), and Brown could blow up if given the chance. If Addai and Brown are both out, that leaves Mike Hart. I'm not terribly enthusiastic about Hart's NFL future, but any running back who makes a start in the Indy offense is bound to fall derriere over teakettle into some fantasy points.
One last guy to discuss: Peyton Manning. You'd think that Manning's value would have to take a small hit because of all these injuries. Maybe, but I'm not so sure. We all know what a sharp dude this guy is, and there's little doubt that while the Colts are on hiatus, Manning's brainpower will be harnessed to help the Colts' coaching staff hatch some contingency plans for the offense. Despite a shabby offensive line, Manning is quietly on pace for a 5,000-yard season, and his TD-INT ratio so far is 13-2. He'll be just fine. In fact, all these Colts injuries on both sides of the ball could end up benefitting Manning in a way: It's unlikely that the Colts will have the luxury of resting starters over the final weeks of the season, so Manning owners shouldn't have to worry about him being pulled from a game early during a fantasy playoff week.
Dessert: Carob-chip cookies
Carob is a reasonable substitute for chocolate, and it brings some health benefits to this dessert that you can eat with your hands. With some top wide receivers either injured or on bye this week, a lot of fantasy owners will be forced to insert substitute sets of hands.
The Colts, Texans, Lions and Jets are on bye this week, which means that Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie, Pierre Garcon, Andre Johnson, Calvin Johnson, Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes are among the unavailable receivers for Week Seven. DeSean Jackson is out with a concussion. The status of otherwise viable starting options Malcom Floyd (hamstring) and Eddie Royal (groin) is uncertain. If you play in a league with 12 or more teams, you might see some interesting names in starting WR slots this Sunday.
How slim is the WR position looking this week? Well, a pair of Bills wideouts (Lee Evans and Steve Johnson) crack the top 40 in my position rankings. Also cracking my top 40 this week are two San Diego receivers (Patrick Crayton and Buster Davis) who haven't started a single game between them this season. Danario Alexander, who played his first NFL game last week, is also in my top 40.
It's a make-do week at wide receiver, so I'll leave you with the names of three wideouts who might be able to help get you out of a jam:
Jason Avant. With D-Jax out, a lot of people are high on Jeremy Maclin's prospects against the Titans, particularly since Maclin has clicked with Kevin Kolb. But Maclin is bound to draw more defensive attention, and it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Avant, a smooth veteran, had the better day.
Deon Butler. Mike Williams is the hotter commodity after his big game against the Bears last week, but Butler had a TD catch in that game (his second of the season) and is in line for an expanded role with the Seahawks now that Deion Branch is out of the picture.
Devery Henderson. No catches last week, no TDs since Week One. Henderson is a home-run hitter, but he's been whiffing like Dave Kingman. Two words for you: He's due.
