The question that stumped Virginia offensive coordinator Bill Lazor after Saturday's 56-20 loss at Georgia Tech had nothing to do with his interpretation of a bad read or a faulty protection or why he chose to play so-and-so in a certain situation.
A far more innocuous inquiry made Lazor stammer as he faced media after the embarrassing loss. Then again, there isn't any easy response when you're asked to give keys to getting the offense back on track prior to next Saturday's trip to Texas Christian.
"I think when you get beaten like you did (Saturday), the list gets long," Lazor said.
One might assume Lazor could start with short yardage running situations, but how do you coach an offensive line to be tougher? Managing oncoming run-stoppers with effective blocks is one thing, and that's a topic Lazor and offensive line coach Scott Wachenheim will surely touch upon this week with their interior linemen.
As effective as Georgia Tech (2-1 overall, 1-1 ACC) was at using the option staples of deception and misdirection to set up dive plays for huge chunks of yards, U.Va. was equally as ineffective at trying to pick up a mere yard when it needed it on a play designed to test strength-on-strength in the middle of the line.
After Georgia Tech scored to go up 28-7 with 9:50 left in the second quarter, Khalek Shepherd put U.Va. within striking distance of cutting into the lead by returning a kickoff 72 yards to Georgia Tech's 20-yard line.
Virginia moved to the 11 before it faced fourth-and-1. U.Va. called a timeout with 7:23 left to set up a play, but the end result was a 1-yard loss on a run up the middle by Perry Jones, who had five carries in the game for just 15 yards.
The failure was nothing new for U.Va., which was supposed to count its offensive line among its strengths this season. It was the second time this season U.Va. was stopped on a fourth-and-1 situation.
In the season-opener against Richmond, U.Va. failed to pick up a first down on a fourth-and-1 run by Kevin Parks early in the third quarter. U.Va.'s inability to pick up that yard was less damning considering the Cavaliers won the game 43-19.
Jones' helplessness on fourth-and-1 sealed U.Va.'s fate at Georgia Tech.
"That was really disappointing," Lazor said. "It's obvious when you get in those short yardage situations, if you're going to take some pride in being a physical football team when you run it, then you'd like to think you can make it…It just takes one little mistake here or there, but I think we're at the point where we've got to eliminate those mistakes.
"It takes one mistake here or there to slow down a drive, and we seemed to find a whole bunch of ways to do that. We needed a lot more today as an offense to keep up."
That's how Georgia Tech felt last season against U.Va., when the Cavaliers upset the No. 12 Yellow Jackets 24-21 in Charlottesville. Georgia Tech ran for 272 yards in that game, which was more than 44 yards below its season average. Memories of the shortcomings in that game served to motivate Georgia Tech heading into Saturday's game.

"Right before we left (Saturday to go to Bobby Dodd Stadium), we watched a clip of the last play of the game last year," Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington said. "The clip was of the two sidelines. Their sideline was going bananas after the last play…we looked like we had no life. We tried to approach the game (Saturday) with a challenge from our coaches and our teammates that we would come out and give our best shot. We had revenge on our mind from last year."
After the game, Washington accused U.Va.'s players of some post-play extracurricular activity in the pile. He said U.Va.'s defensive players were trying to take his helmet off, which would've resulted in Washington being required by officials to come off the field for a play.
"That's what he said," Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. "He told me they were pulling it off in the pile. I don't know."
Johnson reiterated Washington's words regarding revenge heading into Saturday's game.

Ding-dong, father time, look who's here,
Flocabulary ringing in a new year,
A new start, new chance, a new opportunity,
2011 is a baby, she's new to me,
Let's see, Obama signed a bill to help the heroes,
With health problems from working at ground zero,
Holiday travel, that was a beast, yo!
A big blizzard dumped snow on the east coast,
And tornadoes hit the south and the Midwest,
Flooding in Australia? I'm distressed,
In Egypt: a bomb attack
Aimed at Christians exploded at mass,
Dang, so much for a new start,
People still killing over power and God,
A governor in Pakistan was shot dead,
By his bodyguard who didn't like what he said,
Young people get their news on the web,
Older folks, they like the TV instead,
Now Facebook is probably worth 50 billion,
So nerds like Zuckerberg get paid, hey
Did you hear about the birds – dropping out the sky,
In a town in the Little Rock suburbs?
It's a mystery – no one knows why,
5,000 little blackbirds died,
Before we go, something that you have to know,
Census data show Americans are living where it don't snow,
Population booms in the West and the South,
But we're growing slower now, no doubt,
And there's a brand new Speaker of the House,
Boehner's in, Pelosi stepped down,
We'll be back in 7 days with the week in rap,
Like an abacus, you can count on that! Ha Ha.
Where was there flooding?
How much is Facebook probably worth?
$50 billion
Who is the new Speaker of the House?
John Boehner

Awesome Time!
Review submitted: January 1, 2013 Date of arrival: December 23, 2012
This was an AWESOME VACATION!! My family was happy excited and we had so much fun. The snow was much welcomed, due to came from Texas. The property was cleaned and well maintained. Katy & Jim came by to visit us and they were extremely nice. The one drawback was I could not get cell phone reception, but that's okay. We took in a movie and ate @ one of the Mexican restaurant in Payson. The antique shops were so much FUN!! We had a fabulous time. I would recommend this cabin to friends. This is on the list as a "KEEPER" for this family.
Again, thank you Katy & Jim!

Home away from home
Review submitted: July 26, 2012 Date of arrival: July 6, 2012
This was my third visit to the Blue Olive in the last three years. That alone should tell the story but more importantly it has also been a great place for relatives from the midwest and phoenix friends to meet. This was also their third visit. During our first two visits we probably spent more time taking in the all the great spots that the rim country has to offer and perhaps taking the cabin and surrounding area for granted. This last visit we did less sightseeing and truly made the cabin home--enjoying all the comforts and amenities inside and out--day and night.
To add to the above, the owners did everythig possible to make our visit as comfortable as possible.
Hope to make visit four next year.

Great summer getaway!
Review submitted: January 13, 2011 Date of arrival: April 23, 2010
We were celebrating our son's 5th birthday, and wanted to get away from the heat of Phoenix! We had 6 people total in the cabin, and felt that there was enough room for all. The cabin was very nicely maintained, and very clean.
With two boys, we spent a good amount of time outside. There were many activities in the yard as well as in the area. The large yard was perfect for letting the kids do their own thing. We also brought up our quads to ride in the area and found tons of trails close to the cabin. Being in the spring, the weather was perfect as well.
We will definitely stay here again!

The perfect high country getaway!
Review submitted: January 13, 2011 Date of arrival: October 30, 2010
The Blue Olive is a delightful high country get away. Whether you're looking to escape the heat of the Valley or discover the beauty of Arizona for the first time, this is the place to stay!
The Blue Olive itself is well equipped and comfortable. The floor plan is perfect for two couples, or a family. The Master bedroom has a deliciously comfortable king size bed with lots of cozy blankets, and a convenient half bath en suite. The second bedroom, located around the corner for the right amount of privacy, is bright with a queen bed. The full bath located next to the second bedroom has a full sized shower with good pressure. The kitchen has everything you'll need – just bring your groceries!
The Blue Olive has a wonderful yard with a creek (that tends to be dry in the late summer months) in the back. It's a big yard on a low traffic street, perfect for kids or dogs to run around. The tall trees shade the property so you can spend hours relaxing, enjoying the fresh air or playing a game of ping pong.
If you decide to leave the comforts of the Blue Olive, Strawberry is a great place to play. The town of Strawberry is very small, and offers ample opportunity for walking and hiking. Don't forget to visit the historic school house and pet the baby goats at the Fossil Creek Creamery (and pick up some fresh, delicious goat cheese and fudge!). Further afield, the neighboring town of Pine has a fully equipped grocery store, gas station, several restaurants, antique and craft stores and a historical tour. For day trips, take a hike down to Fossil Creek, row your boat on the Blue Ridge Reservoir, hike the Mongollon Rim, see the world's largest natural travertine bridge at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, or enjoy the attractions of Camp Verde, all located within a comfortable drive of the Blue Olive.
Once you stay at the Blue Olive, you'll be so relaxed and renewed that you'll be able to face the heat of the Valley again…while dreaming of your next high country escape to the Blue Olive!

Blue Olive
Review submitted: May 2, 2010 Date of arrival: April 22, 2010
We loved this little cabin and definetly would and will go back. We went for nieces 18th birthday. The cabin had everything you needed for the 3 nights we were there. The yard area is just wonderful. My two grandsons age 6 and 2 played outside the whole time and I felt comfortable in letting them run around out there by them selves. The 6 year old went wading in the little creek behind the house. Us adults enjoyed playing cards out side on the nice big patio table that was provided, also enjoyed reading outside watching the grankids. I would recommend the Blue Olive to everyone who would like to get away from the Valley for a weekend for a nice relaxing weekend.

Obviously we're far enough into the season to all agree to just blow the team up (common' already!). Here's a breakdown of the team thus far:
Gerald Wallace puts up monster games and then disappears. TRADE HIM!
Jamal Crawford shoots first and is only 90% of the player he was 2 years ago (when he was the 6th man of the year). TRADE HIM!
Nic Batum (who is leaving the team since a deal hasn't already been completed) is not the skinny French LeBron we were all promised. TRADE HIM!
We overpaid for Wesley Matthews (he's making $6 million. Can you believe that?). TRADE HIM!
Marcus Camby and Kurt Thomas, though considered crafty veterans, are old (hence the term veteran). TRADE THEM!
LaMarcus is soft. That's right-- Soft. TRADE HIM!
Chris Johnson is a beanpole. TRADE HIM!
Luke Babbitt and Armon Johnson went to UNR (that's in Nevada). TRADE THEM! (btw, Nolan Smith went to Duke.... DUKE! That school barely even has a basketball program. TRADE HIM while you're at it)
Though he can jump out of the building, apparently Elliot Williams often (not all the time) smells bad. TRADE HIM!
Greg Oden only dominates when he plays in games, which isn't that often. TRADE HIM!
Raymond Felton, well, don't get me started on Raymond Felton. That out-of-shape, cupcake-loving mother (shut yo' mouth!) is literally fast-breaking this team into the ground. Where is the young
Steve Nash All Star MVP Raymond Felton of the Nuggets and Knicks, who was assisting more and hitting the 3 at a much higher clip? I mean, he's had, like, a full month to gain complete familiarity with the team and Sarge. TRADE HIM?! Heck, let's chase him out of Portland, nay, the United States, FOREVER.
I bet you're wondering where Craig Smith is in all of this. Well, I'll tell you. As a previous Ben or Dave post made mention, the Rhino is actually exceeding expectations (and boy!, did we have huge expectations for Craig coming into the season [it's hard to exceed zero expectations]). Sure, he's undersized, overpaid, has zero offense, can't rebound, and barely passes for an inside presence on the team, however, he's exceeding expectations. You, my friend, are not the weakest link (yup, I just dropped in that reference).
But the guy who will likely make the biggest difference in the league for the Blazers will be-- you guessed it-- DIEBLER. Jon Diebler. Or J(ay) Die as he's known to his friends. Basically, HE NEVER MISSES...
Okay, he did miss that second shot. And his 16th shot. Plus, his 49th shot, but that one was in-and-out.
In Conclusion...

2013 off season
Free Agency:
Pat Hill works some coaching magic and early in the free agency process it is evident that Holmes will have refined his game enough to make T.D. comfortable with letting Baker walk. Willy Mo is always ready to test the free agent market,can't get the money he expects because of injury issues and signs a reasonable contract. Tony is content to be a family man, we wish you the best (he also opts to be enshrined as a Falcon in 5 years). Turner goes to the Jets, or something.
Dwight Freeney and Steven Jackson both sign reasonable short term deals with the aim to pick up a ring or two.
Round 1: Alec Ogletree ILB UGA- Because of his 'twener size/status (6"3' 230) he falls in the draft. But his coverage ability combined with sideline to sideline speed and sure tackling ability makes him an ideal fit in the thin Atl LB corp.
Trade extra 4th round pick in order to move up and get Eric Reed S LSU- A lot of upside, possible the most athletic DB on a team that has been breeding NFL caliber DBs. Was a starter from game 1 of his career in the SEC.
Round 3: DallasThomas OT/OG Tenn- Smart/versatile OL prospect, again 3 year of starting in the SEC and never missing a game helps too. The tags thrown around this guy are "grinder", "team-first" and "smart". T.D. likes.
Round 4: Denard Robinson Ath Mich: Atlanta's answer for Percy Harvin. Lines up all over the field taking snaps as a TB and slot receiver. Adds HUGE potential in the return game.
Round 5: Bennie Logan DT LSU- Run stuffing defensive tackle from a very good LSU Dline. He'd be a value pick here and his size gives him some flexibility in the event of a conversion to a 3-4 Logan could play DE at 6'3" 295
Round 6: Tavarres King WR UGA- Possibly the best receiver on a high powered offense, but was just never "the guy" that he could have been. Comes in to add depth, but could really challenge HD83.
Round 7: Sio Moore OLB UConn- Never really dominated lesser Big East competition, but has good size and athleticism to be a potential contributor as an NFL LB.
After training camp battles, Week 1 2013 starters-
QB Ryan
RT Clabo
RG Philipkeith Manly
C Konz
LT Blalock
LT Holmes
RB S. Jax
TE Coffman (I believe in this dude)
WR1 Roddy
WR2 Julio
WR3 King
DE Freeney
DT Babs
DT T. Robs
DE Abe
LBs Spoon, Dent, 'Tree (what a great collection of one word names)
CBs Grimes/ Asanta (Ried plays the hybrid nickle saftey/linbacker. Nolan's "big nick"
Safeties Decoud/ Moore

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
The Iredell County Sheriff's Office arrested three people in an armed home invasion.
Deputies were called to a home on Branchwood Road in Statesville at 9:27 p.m. October 9th.
The homeowner was at the house with her eight-year-old son when a man kicked her door open and entered the house with a gun in his hand, demanding drugs. The man was wearing clothing to cover most of his body and face.
The woman says the man forced her into different rooms of the house, leaving her son alone in the living room.
When officers arrived, the woman said the only thing missing was a lockbox containing prescription drugs.
Deputies interviewed neighbors and developed three suspects as a result of the investigation.
Logan Kyle Voris (20), Patrick Donovan Foster (20), and Amy Elizabeth Ross (23) were located and interviewed as suspects.
Deputies say the three suspects lived together on Serenity Lane in Statesville at the time of the home invasion. Investigators say witnesses identified a vehicle used in the incident, and that vehicle was owned by Ross.
Investigators obtained warrants for each suspect for First Degree Burglary, and Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon.
Ross was arrested November 7th. She received a $7,500 secured bond.
Voris and Foster were arrested November 6th. Each received a $20,000 secured bond.
In a separate incident, deputies said Foster was also arrested just a few days prior by the Statesville Police Department on charges of Common Law Robbery.
Foster was accused of stealing an elderly woman's pocketbook in the Wal-Mart parking lot on October 27th.
The elderly woman was hurt, but is expected to be OK. Foster received a $3,000 bond from that incident.

Irrational Exuberance in the Sports Betting Marketplace: How to Win Fading the Steam
Inside the Mind of a Professional Gambler
17 Long Weeks
Inside the Mind of a Professional Gambler
By: Doug Upstone - StatFox
Published: 8/18/2009 at 8:05:00 PM
Fezzik is a professional gambler living in Las Vegas. He's made a name for himself winning the 2008 Hilton Super Contest with 67.5 percent record against the spread on 85 wagers. Last year he also finished second in college football in Leroy's contest, with 53-31 ATS record. He's a featured guest on many Vegas sports betting shows since arriving in Sin City and has joined forces with Anthony Curtis at LVASports.com, which is populated by many of the industry's top gambling professionals. We sat down with Fezzik and picked his brain.
StatFox: You are a highly acclaimed professional gambler, explain what that means?
Fezzik: What it means is you make your living by winning at gambling. I would call myself an "advantage player". I will also play poker and blackjack, anything I can get an advantage at. Primarily it's sports betting, that's the most lucrative.
SF: With the football season fast approaching, explain your typical work-week schedule in terms of preparation?
Fezzik: For me, you have to start on Sunday evening. Most professional gamblers I know are betting the halftime numbers on the late games and are preparing for opening numbers. For the very best players, there is no time to rest. They are not watching games to see how their bets turn out, though they may have them on, they are focused on the opening lines for the following week.
They are making their numbers for the following week on college and NFL games, so they are ready to bet as soon as the lines come up on Sunday afternoon. Because of their skill, they are able to get some really sharp bets. These bettors are not looking for in-depth analysis; they are searching for oddsmakers' mistakes. They are looking for numbers they know are off by two points. Any number that is off by two or more points and they think is obvious that anybody who does serious work in studying numbers, they will just fire (bet), even if the limits are low. They are going to hit what they see as mistakes.
On Monday, they are looking at props for Monday Night Football, looking to play a middle if available or fading a public move on the side or total.
Myself, on Monday I start breaking down totals on college football for the following week, since those numbers don't come until Tuesday.
Starting on Tuesday, everything to this point has just been my opinion. I will meet with a group of sharp bettors in Las Vegas and kick around thoughts and ideas, often focusing in on certain games and possible player injuries. This is the more intense handicapping day. If we are all in agreement, I'll shop for the best number and bet more on that game.
Wednesday is supposed to be an off day, but it seldom is, even if the lines have stabilized by this point. It's fairly typical for me to work until 3 in the morning Monday night and get up at 7AM on Tuesday. I try and sleep in on Wednesday's to prevent further sleep deprivation. Wednesday is usually date night and Thursday I return to handicapping looking for more particular advantages. I should add, in between I make any number of bets on games, be it sides or totals. Thursday my attention shifts to the various contests I entered and study the lines for what I might play. For me Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are similar.
SF: In summation, you look to attack weak numbers early and if drastic changes occur, you will address those situations if they arise?
Fezzik: Exactly. Thursday is real good for checking weather reports, if I already like an Under and adverse weather is a possibility, I'll fire on a game that coincides with my number at current value. I won't play an Under because of bad weather if my numbers come out higher to start.
SF: What led you to this lifestyle?
Fezzik: Always a math geek, always good at numbers and probabilities, forecasts. I view it as day trading; it's really the same as trading on the stock market, with the exception it's probably easier to win at this.
SF: Would you recommend this to others?
Fezzik: No. Unless you are really good at math. Most people are not very good at math and those that are move on to make really good money at other lines of work.
SF: What does a professional gambler do for fun?
Fezzik: What's nice about being a professional gambler is you can always gamble for fun. When I'm running around I might play in poker tournament that isn't high stakes. I might enter a $100.00 poker tournament, just to play live poker, that's fun. I like casinos, I like hanging out in sports books.
I do like to go hiking up Mt. Charleston here in Vegas, which is almost 12,000 feet. It's great to go to Lee Canyon, which is about 9,000 feet. I was there recently and it was 80 degrees, when it was 115 degrees in Vegas. I'll try to shoot out to Shakespearean festival in Southern Utah before the season starts. I like to play golf, though I'm not very good at it. Golf in Las Vegas is one of the best values in the summer time, playing great courses from $25.00.
SF: If you weren't a professional gambler, what would you be doing?
Fezzik: I'm pretty sure I'd be in the financial services arena, probably pricing variable annuities or being a bond trader.
SF: Do you have a preference of college or pro football?
Fezzik: I like pro football better, but I was forced to focus on college football more, since the numbers are weaker and it's easier to beat them. The marketplace dictates the college numbers are more beatable.
SF: Where have you found the greatest opportunities in sports wagering, sides or totals?
Fezzik: The totals are easily the weaker market. The average football better wagers less than $500.00 a game. Why would they bother to beat the most difficult thing to beat, NFL sides, instead of betting college totals? The answer is they are not very good at it as recreational players.
If you told me I could only bet $500.00 a game, I'd go bet WNBA totals and college basketball totals, clearly, which are easier to beat. The frustration is if I want to bet $2,000 on college basketball total, I might have to drive to four places, which is very difficult. The great advantage of betting a NFL side, I can wager $10,000 on a single bet at one location. If you are truly good at wagering in the NFL, you can bet your opinions forcefully and with volume.
SF: What are some of your favorite wagers for the upcoming season?
Fezzik: Do you want the ones still available or the ones that are long gone?
SF: You decide.
Fezzik: I got Seattle at +275 to win the NFC West. Denver and Tampa Bay are both likely to stink this year. If you were able to play Denver at Un7.5 this year, you have a tremendous bet. You have a good bet at U7 and a marginal bet at U6.5 wins and anything less than that is probably a bad bet. Tampa Bay Un7 is great bet; Un6.5 is good bet and Un6, garbage. It's hard for people to hear that. They wonder how can it be a great bet at Un7 and be a terrible bet Un6? I tell them, it's worth 100 cents to move one point on a an NFL total, if I told you a baseball team was a great bet at +200 but a bad bet at +100, you would nod your head and say that makes sense.
SF: The Florida Gators are ranked number one and the defending champions. They also have what appears to be a favorable schedule. Do you see them going unbeaten and finishing No.1 again or who else do you like?
Fezzik: Florida is the clear favorite and a monster with Tim Tebow back along with 11 defensive starters. If you give me the field against Florida, I'd take the field. In reviewing the numbers, Florida has about a 38 percent chance of winning the national championship, which is huge number. If I had to do a forecast, I'd say they would win 11 games. LSU has them at home on October 10th, which would seem the game the Gators could fall, but it will be tough to trip them up.
SF: Should the average football bettor be aggressive to start the season or be more cautious?
Fezzik: This is one of my pet peeves, since all the experts say to start slow. In my opinion, that is terrible advice. The very best wagers are made in May for the upcoming football season. The people that do their homework early and quickly, make bets like Broncos and Bengals as Pick (now Bengals -3), which is just a sick bet. That doesn't guarantee a win, but you won't find a better play for a variety of reasons. I see this closing at Bengals -3.5.
Last year in Week 5 on Sunday night, Pittsburgh was getting 5.5 points at Jacksonville and +6 was available at different outlets. Clearly, that is going to be a better bet than anything you find Week 10. Earlier in the year, the numbers are much further off then later in the year. For those waiting for perfect information, comes perfect lines or very tight lines. Your largest wagers should come early in the year, if you are prepared. And I don't know any professional gambler that would disagree with that.
SF: Based on your accomplishments, what advice would you pass along to any sports bettor to give them the best chance to win?
Fezzik: I would simulate the first 200 bets and track how you are doing before betting. Keep track if you are winning or losing and write down why you would have made the bet. Next if you want to bet, I would bet peanuts; way less than you think you should bet. If you can have access to advantage player, I would frequent forums that cater to gaining knowledge. In blackjack, BJ21com, Stanford Wong's website. I'm biased toward LVASports.com, where I'm a moderator on Anthony Curtis' website. SharpSportsBetting.com and EOG.com are other great sites to go and ask questions and learn.
It's hard to determine who knows what they are talking about and who doesn't. Don't confuse the vast majority of the touts with a professional gambler. For the most part, handicappers can be successful, but they can't share the great expertise and teach you anything.
A great example of this is touts have their Game of the Year late in the season, when as I just explained, some of the best opportunities are early in the year. They would never think to have a Game of the Year the first few weeks of the season, because they believe this would make them look foolish.
SF: The cappers that have Game of the Year's early end up having eight or 10, to keep the customer on the hook.
Fezzik: I like John Kelly's advice, which is "listen to everyone, follow know one". Do your research, listen to what people like and why and go back and do more research.
SF: I think too frequently everyone is looking for the "hot guy", whether they are a handicapper or somebody on winning streak in a forum. These guys tend to dry up in time.
Fezzik: A one year record is totally irrelevant to me. Give me someone's five-year record or lifetime record that's what's really significant. Take a coin and flip it 80 times and you'll be shocked how often you get 50 tails and 30 heads.
I wanted to emphasize this, I hear all the time, "this is the right side or the wrong side of a game". Every game has a right side for both teams if you give me the right number. Not long ago I liked Winnipeg and Calgary Under 51 points in Canadian Football, but give me 48, sure I'd play Over, since I think the number should be 49.5. I can't stand when people say "this is the right side of the game". That is almost never the case. You give me enough points and I'll take the lesser team in the right value spot.
SF: Do you play many parlays yourself?
Fezzik: There are three reasons to play parlays. Reason One- You are laying less than a $1.10 on each progressive side. Standard odds on a parlay are betting 5 to win 13 on a two-team parlay. If you win more than 13, you are effectively laying less than a $1.10 on each individual bets. You find a book that pays 14 to 5 on two-teamer, you would be playing badly not to be playing parlay. Why not play less than $1.10 if you are going to bet a lot of games?
Reason Two – If there is a correlation. An obvious correlation would be big favorites -200 or higher.
Reason Three – To circumvent the limits at a sports book. If you have $500 limit, you could parlay few games and parlay $300 bets and next think you know you have $1,100 in action. That's an excellent reason to play parlays.
One thing I read is authors saying "If you hit 55 percent, your return on investment is higher playing parlays". It's a correct statement, but you won't be making more money betting parlays, instead you should be betting more on straight bets.
SF: Anything else you would like to add?
Fezzik: Advantage players like me have different perspective on how to bet sports. If a person is wagering for recreational purposes, betting their own money and having fun doing what they want to do, that's all good.
SF: Great insights, I appreciate it.
Fezzik: Thanks, Doug, it's been fun.

Corporate jet sale on RIM radarPUBLISHED: 11 Jul 2012 07:53:06 | UPDATED: 12 Jul 2012 06:39:34PUBLISHED: 11 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 12 Jul 2012
Charles Arthur
BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion (RIM) says it may sell one or both of its two corporate jets as part of efforts to transform itself into what chief executive Thorsten Heins calls a "lean, mean hunting machine".
The company said it is looking at options relating to its two executive Dassault jets, which can seat nine and 14 people. Initial reports suggested that the company would try to sell the smaller jet, which could fetch between $6 million and $7 million, while reducing outgoings in maintenance and ground crew. "We're looking at options with both our aircraft costs and finding ways to reduce our travel while still making sure we keep in close contact with our partners around the world," a spokesperson said. "It's all part of the effort to find ways to reduce costs and drive efficiencies that Thorsten Heins has talked about."
RIM is trying to save $US1 billion in annual operating costs after two quarters of heavy losses, and with no clear end in sight to its problems. Analysts have questioned whether it can survive in its current state, or whether it could head for the bankruptcy courts or be split, with its security software being purchased by a US company – because the US government relies on BlackBerrys for secure communications – and the handset business being sold to a Chinese company.
RIM has owned the jets for at least two years.
The news came as Heins faced shareholders for the first time at the company's annual general meeting, following a year in which the company's shares have lost 95 per cent of their value from their peak, and 80 per cent over the past year. Its market capitalisation is now just $US3.7 billion, of which 85 per cent derives from its patent portfolio covering email security, messaging and handsets, Heins suggested at the weekend.
Heins told shareholders he was not satisfied with the company's performance but that he was excited about the prospects of its upcoming BlackBerry 10 software, which he suggested in another interview could appear by January – although officially it is due only by the first quarter of 2013.
RIM's stock has since been trading near a nine-year low. Two weeks ago, it announced disappointing quarterly earnings, plans to cut 30 per cent of its workforce and the latest delay in BlackBerry 10.

FLORENCE, Ariz. (AP) - The Pinal County Sheriff's Office says it will ask prosecutors to charge a 25-year-old Maricopa man with manslaughter in connection with an accident in which his 6-year-old son was killed.
The Sheriff's Office says Jose Espinoza and his 6-year-old son Isaiah weren't wearing seatbelts and that both were ejected from a pickup truck in the Friday evening accident.
The office says it suspects that Espinoza was impaired by both alcohol and marijuana.
According to the office, the pickup veered off a road and then flipped and rolled after the driver attempt to steer back onto the roadway.
Espinoza was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. The office says he has not been arrested pending results of tests on blood samples.
It's not immediately known whether Espinoza has an attorney.

FOND DU LAC (WKOW) -- The City of Fond du Lac Water Utility is asking all customers to run water a full five minutes straight at least three times per day in an effort to keep water service lines from freezing.
According to the City of Fond du Lac, if a customer notices a significant drop in pressure they should let it run the five minutes, then slow to a trickle for extended period – particularly overnight. This is especially important for customers who typically don't use much water, and for residents of dead-end streets where there is limited water movement.
The potential for underground pipes to freeze is extremely high with frost near record depths. There have been nearly two dozen frozen services since the beginning of the month, and the City has an ongoing list of customers without water.
Resources to thaw underground lines are limited and restoring service could take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days.

My favorite new cocktail!
Went to a party the other night called 50 Top Denver. It is a groups of Denver chefs that get together every 4 months or so, whip up an elegant, beautiful, mind blowing meal, then are gone like ghosts in the night. 50 Top refers to the number of guests. The locations change with the season (last night we were in Union Station), but one thing is always the same: there's a cocktail to begin the evening. Last night we enjoyed, and I mean enjoyed, a Sazerac cocktail, thanks to Steuben's mixoligist Sean Kenyon. The Sazerac is reknown as the first American cocktail, which was in keeping with last night's "Golden Age of Dining" theme.
2oz Rye Whiskey
1/4oz Absinthe, Leopold Bros are now making this in Denver!
2 sugar cubes
4 dashes of Peychaud's Bitters
Fill one glass with ice to chill.
In a mixing glass muddle the sugar cubes, the bitters and a couple of drops of water. Pour in the Rye and stir.
Dump the ice out of the chilled glass, pour in the absinthe, roll the glass to coat and dump out the excess (I recommend drinking it).
Strain the contents of the mixing glass into the Absinthe rinsed glass. Cut a wide swath of lemon peel, twist it over the cocktail to express the oils, rub the peel around the rim of the glass and drop it into the cocktail.
If that seems like too much work at home…join Sean at Steuben's for a drink!

This review hasn't been rated yet.
We've eaten here 3-4 times since Oct 10, most recently late Jan 11. The menu is relatively short and simple. The food is French brasserie / bistro style comfort food – some very conventional (eg cassoulet), others with an English twist (eg Hereford snail & bacon pie). Nothing to get too excited about, but decent reliable stuff. Aimed at a very different market to Wild Honey.
We normally pay £30-£33 pp for 2 courses, inc service, exc drinks, which is reasonable value. The wine list is sufficient, and includes some reasonable less expensive bottles in the £30 range.
Like any good informal brasserie / bistro, the dining room has a very pleasant and relaxed, with a buzzy atmosphere. Always busy, even on a Tues night. The building, interior furnishing and décor are perfectly suited to such a brasserie.
We've always found service to be efficient and friendly. However, we recently noticed another table complaining about wait times, so they're perhaps pushing the covers vs kitchen capacity to the edge ? Its certainly a busy place.
Overall, a good addition in a surprisingly poorly served area (as Terroir discovered). Particularly convenient for pre and post theatre, given its proximity to St Martins Lane and The Strand.

The incident happened on the second floor of the Princess Street venue, which was previously the home of famous independent record label Factory Records.
As reported by the BBC, a spokesman for the nightclub said it was 'thought a screw head in a piece of plasterboard snapped, causing a large piece of plasterboard to come free in the second floor room.'
'The building was evacuated and police and fire crews attended as a precaution.

Merrimack man charged after Londonderry bank robbery
LONDONDERRY - A Merrimack man was arraigned in Derry District Court Wednesday morning, charged with robbing Citizens Bank in Londonderry Tuesday afternoon.
Londonderry Police arrested Jason Enwright on unrelated charges just over an hour after the robbery occurred. Citizens Bank, 42 Nashua Road, Londonderry, was robbed shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Londonderry Police promptly responded to the scene, along with members of the Derry Police Department and the State Police K-9 unit. Police left the scene just after 5:30 p.m., though the suspect remained at large. Around 5:40 p.m., Londonderry Police arrested Enwright on an unrelated bench warrant dating to November of 2011.
Police say surveillance photos taken during the robbery match the appearance of Enwright: a scruffy, white male between 5-foot-7 and 5-foot-9 wearing a baggy sweatshirt and black hat. Police said no weapon was shown during the incident, though they say one was "implied."
The robber allegedly left the bank in a white SUV with around $1,500 in cash after passing the teller a note demanding money. The bank was immediately closed, and police said there were very few customers inside at the time of the incident. About an hour later, police located a Chevy Blazer without a front plate in the parking lot of the nearby Route 102 gas station.
Enwright faces charges of robbery, theft, resisting arrest, civil assault and two counts of criminal threatening after he reportedly argued with officers attempting to arrest him. They said he spit at and threatened three police officers at Parkland Medical Center later that evening.
According to court documents, Enwright has had multiple run-ins with the law over the years, including previous arrests on charges of assault, receiving stolen property, larceny and theft by deception.

Bacon Father's Day Gifts
Father's Day is coming up. I know! I hate to remind you. I hate to remind me! I'm always terrible at remembering these important dates. So let's all write it down together: Father's Day is on Sunday, June 21st. And let's not beat around the bush. Father's Day can be a bit of a pain in the butt. Moms, for instance, like pretty much anything you can give them: they'll like chocolates or flowers or even just a nice brunch out. Moms just want you to spend some time with them. But Dads don't like presents unless they are the right ones. So, they can be difficult to buy for. Fortunately, we have a secret weapon: bacon! Every Dad loves bacon. So follow us as we run down our favourite bacon presents for Dad's day.
Bacon Ties
There's nothing more Father's Day than ties, so it seems obvious that a good way to put a new spin on this tradition is with a bacon tie. Of course, my Dad always hated getting ties, and he'll probably hate this one, but how can he possibly argue against bacon?
Bacon Golf Shirt
My Dad hates shopping for clothes – and I'm guessing your Dad probably feels the same way. And most Dads love bacon and golf. So a bacon golf shirt should be a no-brainer. I can't find any bacon golf pants around, but let's keep our fingers crossed for next year.
Bacon Apron
Your Father, like most intelligent human beings, will probably be bbqing this summer. And like most intelligent human beings, he will require an apron to protect him from splatter and smoke while he is bbqing. A bacon apron, therefore, would be a good idea. In fact, giving your father a bacon apron is probably a good way to ensure you get a lot of bacon in your future. "Hey Dad, when are you going to invite us to all the bacon bbqs you'll throw with your new bacon apron?"
Cognac Bacon Brownies
Dads have just as much of a sweet tooth as Moms do, but they just usually don't like to admit it. The best way you can get around this is by stuffing the chocolate you are buying him with as much bacon and booze as possible. Or you can just buy these cognac bacon brownies. I really don't see how you could go wrong with this.
Bacon Resin Cufflinks
For the classy Dad, or the Dad who likes to pretend his is classy, try some bacon resin cufflinks. They are supposed to be little slices of bacon (I'm not sure how real the bacon is) inside some resin. But that's real silver-plating on the mountings! Sure, he might laugh, but he'll probably secretly think they are the most awesome present ever, and that you are his favourite child.
Hey, and if you are really pressed for ideas, and you don't know what to get, why not just get your dad some actual bacon? It's probably the present he'll most enjoy and that he'll get the most use out of. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best.

"I would have bet my whole salary that we wouldn't be this bad," said reliever Heath Bell.
On pace for 60-102.
The Padres and the Tigers suck.
Kyle Blanks is The Best, according to Baseball America. I hope they start teaching him to play a new position so we could actually see him at the major league level.
Clay Hensley is trying to not be that guy anymore. Even though he is.
Dan Haren takes on Jake Peavy tonight. About four months ago, this would've been a must see match-up. Unfortunately, tonight isn't four months ago. The Padres will go for their eighth loss in row. "Game" time is 7:05pm PDT. (And a reminder that Drama's Good Time Old-Timey Open Thread is scheduled for tomorrow evening. Clear your schedule now so you can be there tomorrow to watch the Padres suck.)

Victory in the St Leger followed just twelve months after the defeat of Camelot in the same race. A colt whom held the hopes of British racing upon his saddle when entering the St Leger last season, Camelot was defeated by the Godolphin-owned Encke in a defeat that ended any hopes of Triple Crown domination for the Coolmore team. A ride which earned critical comments from some areas of the sport, O'Brien could not have been criticised in anyway today for his perfectly judged ride upon Leading Light.

Small Group Ministry
Small Group- Testimonial
"I joined the Saturday SON Risers Christ Care Group last summer with a goal of developing personal relationships with fellow Christian women in my community. My first get together with the ladies was an outing to…"
Why become a part of Hope's small group ministry?
Share – Small groups make it possible for members to connect personally with others through prayer and sharing, creating strong bonds of friendship. Groups build a connection between individuals that can not be accomplished before or after services.
Study – Christians grow spiritually when they regularly encounter God through conversation, through individual testimonies and more importantly, through God's Word. Each group member grows in their relationship with Christ encouraging one another to trust God more completely.
Serve – The collective gifts of each group are used to reach out with Christ's love to meet the needs of people outside their groups. Group members help one another to live as obedient disciples, holding one another accountable to serve as Jesus served.

Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Lorne Jackson finished with 22 points and six assists to lead the Pepperdine Waves to a 72-68 overtime win over the Portland Pilots in a West Coast Conference bout at the Chiles Center.
Jordan Baker and Nikolas Skouen netted 12 points a piece as Pepperdine (11-13, 3-8 WCC) snapped a four-game losing skid. Stacy Davis added 11 points.
Derrick Rogers paced Portland (9-17, 2-9) with 17 points while Kevin Bailey and Thomas van der Mars each chipped in 12 points with van der Mars also contributing 13 rebounds. Ryan Nicholas also registered a double-double with 11 points and 13 boards and Bryce Pressley had 10 points.
Portland came out as the more aggressive team and shot 9-of-10 from the free throw line in the opening period to take a 29-26 lead into halftime after trailing 25-18 at the 6:23 mark.
The Pilots held a slight advantage for most of the second half until a Jackson 3-pointer knotted the score at 57-57 with 1:54 remaining in regulation. Skouen and Nicholas traded triples in the final minute and after Jackson was unable to convert a layup at the buzzer, overtime was needed to decide the outcome.
Trailing 66-61 with less than a minute remaining in the extra session, Rogers scored four straight points to bring the Pilots to within one with seven seconds left. Jackson then took care of business with two free throws at the other end only to have Rogers draw a foul and make his two free throws, leaving Pepperdine ahead, 68-67. Baker once again extended the Pepperdine advantage to three at the foul line with four seconds remaining. A smart decision by Waves' coach Marty Wilson paid off when he opted to intentionally foul Rogers, who missed one of two. Jackson sealed the win with two more free throws with two seconds remaining.
Portland lost despite outrebounding Pepperdine, 52-37.

The ETSU volleyball team is taking over the Atlantic Sun record book.
Two weeks after senior Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) broke the all-time kills mark, junior Meredith Hardy (Kingsport, Tenn.) set the A-Sun blocks record as ETSU swept its way past Kennesaw State (25-18, 25-23, 25-19) to earn a spot in the conference tournament on Tuesday night inside Brooks Gym.
Hardy entered the match needing only two blocks to surpass Campbell's Rachel Templin for the record, and the Buccaneer middle blocker broke the mark midway through the opening set. On the night, Hardy ended with nine kills and eight blocks, moving her career total to 429 in 89 career matches played. Hardy has now registered a block in 86 consecutive matches.
As Hardy was rewriting the history book, Devine registered her sixth straight double-double (15th of the year) after tallying 12 kills and 10 blocks, while junior Ivey Rice (Johnson City, Tenn.) hit a team-high .364 (11-3-22). Fellow junior Jamie Rutledge (Kingsport, Tenn.) directed the offensive attack by posting 35 assists and seven blocks, and Katie Muey (Alexandria, Ind.) recorded 10 digs, marking the 21st time this season the junior libero finished with double-digit digs.
With the victory, ETSU (17-7, 11-1 A-Sun) has now won 12 straight home matches, while the Blue and Gold have also swept five of their six opponents inside Brooks Gym this season. Kennesaw State had its two-match win streak snapped and dropped to 10-13, 5-8 on the campaign.

In An Apparent Bug, Some Twitter Users Report Avatar Photos Being Replaced With Default 'Egg'
RocketSpace CEO Duncan Logan Talks Expansion Plans And What 'Office-As-A-Service' Actually Means
A number of Twitter users apparently noticed Tuesday evening that their personal photo avatars had been abruptly replaced by the default "egg" image that accompanies profiles from users who haven't added a custom photo of themselves.
What's happened to all those artfully posed selfies? Was all that time constructing a flattering yet also somehow self-deprecating and goofy profile image in vain? What if Justin Bieber turns into an egg? Let's all knock on wood and hope that we never find out — and that the images are restored soon.
We've reached out to Twitter for an eggsplanation of what's happened, and when and how it will be resolved. We will update this post with information as soon as we hear back.
Update: Twitter has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix.
Some avatars are appearing as eggs and users are unable to update profiles. We are working to resolve this. Thank you for your patience!—
(@Support) September 04, 2013
Update 2: The nightmare is over and the issue has purportedly been resolved. If you have an account that was affected by the bug, if you upload a new photo now, it should stick.
Profile updates have been reenabled on Twitter.com. Thank you again for your patience!—
(@Support) September 04, 2013
Here are a few Tweets from users noticing the change:
Whoa. Turned into an egg. That's weird.—
Andrew Hunt (@ahuntre) September 04, 2013
Look!! Look friends ! I've been turned into an egg! Twitter, why?? Why?—
Gayle Frank (@dogmagayle) September 04, 2013
Not sure I am an egg. Just tried to change my profile pic and I am still an egg. I was just looking up how to make hard boiled eggs too!—
Michael Buckley (@buckhollywood) September 04, 2013
So who else has their Twitter avatar turned into an egg all of a sudden?—

MARSHFIELD (WAOW) -- The Marshfield Police Department says two teens have been arrested in an attempted grocery store robbery that received worldwide attention.
Police say a 13-year-old Marshfield boy and a 17-year-old Arpin boy have been arrested in connection to the July 15 attempted armed robbery at Wolf's Grocery Store.
The store's owner, 96-year-old Marge Wolf, refused to surrender any money during the incident.
"I said no way. You're not getting that," explained Wolf.
After her story aired, it traveled nationwide. Wolf's story appeared on World News with Diane Sawyer, CNN and People Magazine Online.
Marshfield police say the 13-year-old boy admitted to entering the store wearing a mask to conceal his identity, displayed a pocket knife, and demanded money.
A felony charge is being requested against the 13-year-old through Wood County Health and Human Services for Attempted Armed Robbery, according to police.
Police say charges are being requested through the Wood County District Attorney's Office against 17-year-old boy.
Investigators are recommending a felony charge of "contributing to the delinquency of a minor" because officers say he encouraged the 13-year-old to commit the armed robbery.
No formal charges have been filed as of Thursday morning.
WQOW News 18 is not naming either of the minors at this time.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - The governor makes a stop in the Chippewa Valley to talk job creation, and
announce a new leader at the helm of a state agency.
Governor Walker recently selected
the interim director of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to lead
the agency permanently.
The governor stopped in Eau Claire along with the
new head of the WEDC. The two spoke about what's next for the corporation, and
about job creation right here in the Chippewa
"I turned to him
initially to help us bring some credibility back to the administration and the
Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation," says Governor Scott Walker.
That credibility was damaged when
the two-year-old agency failed to keep track of tens of million dollars in
loans to businesses. An independent audit blamed high turnover, a lack of basic
accounting controls, and poor record keeping. Fixing that computer system is
one the first goals on the new CEO's agenda.
"Our computer
system is terribly outdated, and that's one of the reasons the WEDC did not
track the loans as they needed to. It's just not an efficient, workable system,"
says Hall.
He also says collaborating with
local governments needs to be a priority for the corporation.
"Partnerships will
be a key to our growth as we move forward," Hall says.
"It's great that we
work on things regionally because as we attract new businesses and new people
to the area, we all benefit from it," says Russell Van Gompel, the Eau Claire City Manager.
The state and the economic
development corporation are also hoping the creation of "Ready Set Build"
sites: shovel-ready places where new businesses can build, will help drive job
creation. The newest one? The Lake
Wissota Business
"If a company is
looking to grow, looking to expand, it's one of those unique opportunities
where they can come into the state, look at sites in Wisconsin, and say here's
a site that's been certified, they've looked at it, they've looked at
environmental issues, they've looked at regulatory issues, they've looked at
support from the local community in terms of infrastructure and other supports,"
Governor Walker says.
Governor Walker says with Reed Hall
WEDC remains on track to help the governor with his goal of creating 250,000
new jobs by 2016.
Part of that approach is to create a
new way to track job growth. The pair say the method used now isn't always accurate.
The governor and Hall made stops
across the state Wednesday and will be making more Thursday.

It's 11:30pm here on a school night, and I feel like going outside and tossing a pigskin around some wearing my #4. No doubt this video will get you guys pumped for Brett's return (cause really? is there any doubt he's NOT coming back?) The guy who edited this video was flawless. Being a video editor myself, he easily makes my stuff look like mere childs play. I give this guy mad props, and this really just goes to show, it doesn't matter what time of day it is. You can ALWAYS feel good watchin Brett Favre carve up some defenses. Enjoy.

ALBANY, N.Y. - In light of the recent triple stabbing in Albany that left one woman dead and two others injured, a law recently signed by Governor Cuomo aims to prevent domestic violence cases like it in the future.
Michael Anderson, of Albany, faces second-degree murder charges in the death of 20-year-old Tonette Thomas and two counts of attempted murder for allegedly also stabbing her sister Shaquasia Thomas and their aunt, 43-year-old Gwynn Carter.
According to Albany Police, Anderson has been arrested five times since 2004 for misdemeanors - some of which included domestic violence. Many are now questioning if the tragedy could have been prevented, especially since Governor Cuomo has signed a new law that will strengthen domestic violence laws in NYS.
Tina Marie Smith is a survivor of domestic violence, escaping to Albany after being brutally attacked by her husband.
"He at one point was on top of me, punching me in my head, punching me in my face. Choking me just saying 'swear to god you're not going to leave' and all I could do was say I can't say that and the next thing I knew I was waking up so I had been beaten unconscious," said Smith.
Smith is now the founder of Diamond Mind, an organization that gives skills to individuals and families to end domestic violence.
She believes a new law signed by Gov. Cuomo will help end the cycle; the law creates a new class E felony for aggravated family offense which allows law enforcement to prosecute those who commit specific misdemeanors and have a prior conviction against a family or household member to now be prosecuted as felons.
"The laws now are in place so that if a person does commit a domestic violence case that they're not just going to walk back out," said Smith.
The law also calls for a high risk team which would group police with domestic violence professionals like Smith to identify high risk cases.
"To gather a group with police officers and survivors and educators. That would be phenomenal and it wouldn't have to take a long period of time," said Smith.
Assemblymen James Tedisco says his legislation, the Chronic Criminal Act will help stop offenders from committing more violent crimes in the future.
"If you commit four misdemeanors over the period of a ten year area you would be classified as a Class E Felon and you could be convicted of a Class E felony and you can get four years in jail," said Tedisco.
