Size and technology
A standard digital billboard is 14' tall, 48' wide, and covered with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). LEDs are the same technology that power HDTVs and smartphone screens. Just like traditional vinyl billboards, digital units are illuminated, weatherproof, resistant to UV & vandalism damage.
Sales strategy
Traditional billboards are sold on a monthly basis and display a single ad.
Digital billboard advertising is sold in 'slots', akin to TV commercials. Each billboard has 8-10 slots which run in a continuous loop. Slots are roughly 10 seconds long, giving passing motorists plenty of time to view and process the ad.
In some markets, operators may also sell 'digital network' slots. With a network slot, ads air across several digital billboards simultaneously. This is a great way to create a market-wide presence without printing and installing multiple vinyl posters.
Creative opportunities
Digital billboards offer incredible creative freedom:
- Push tighter deadlines and eliminate delays due to printing/installation - email ads directly to the board!
- Purchase two adjacent slots to create eye catching multi-faceted ads - promote a local restaurant and the evening's specials.
- Optimize your campaign by revising creative on-the-fly based on consumer response.
Pull in dynamic content via Twitter/RSS/Facebook/HTML and tailor the ad to a specific market or time of day.
Try it out
Whether you're starting a new campaign or you want to add flexibility to your current media mix, DOOH is a great fit. It's affordable, easy to implement, and dynamic.

New York-Style Cheesecake Mousse Recipe
This cheesecake mousse actually tastes better after chilling overnight. Once chilled, it can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to three days. Berries are optional, but they're a flavorful and festive way to dress up this dessert. —Caroline Wamelink, Cleveland Heights, Ohio
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Sliced fresh strawberries, optional
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and lemon peel until fluffy. Fold in whipped cream. Divide among 12 dessert dishes. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°. Combine cracker crumbs and sugar in a small bowl; add butter and mix well. Press to a 1/4-in. thickness on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely.
- Just before serving, crumble graham cracker mixture; sprinkle over mousse. Top with strawberries if desired. Yield: 12 servings.

I can't review as I've not tried. Do you think I could use Cool Whip instead of heavy whipping cream?

This was a delicious fun loving recipe. I used this on my co-workers and they loved it. I had one person that could'nt get enough of it....

These were delicious! They tasted just like cheesecake. I prepared them in bite sized appetizer portions and everyone loved them. I used frozen sliced strawberries in sugar syrup, as strawberries were not in season here, and the juice from the syrup blended beautifully as far as enhancing the taste goes. I would definitely make these again and they were very easy to make.

Toyota Commits to a Hydrogen Car for 2015
With the exception of a couple of high-profile prototype models from over the years, hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicles have remained largely a pipe dream for mass-scale production for a couple of glaring reasons. One is that there is virtually no supporting infrastructure for hydrogen car refueling, coupled with limited interest in the vehicles until that first issue gets sorted out. Then, of course, there is the most obvious price problem: the cars aren't cheap.
Nonetheless, Toyota (NYSE:TM) spent a good deal of the latter part of 2013 defending its support of the hydrogen fuel-cell platform and has been parading its prototype — the FCV — around at trade shows and news conferences. Why the sudden rush of publicity? Because Toyota is intending to put the first mass-produced hydrogen-powered vehicle in showrooms in 2015. That's next year, folks.
Toyota's latest venue for its FCV concept is the consumer electronics trade show, or CES, in Las Vegas. On paper, Toyota's planned vehicle — which would presumably start production next year, as well — looks pretty good. A 300-mile range would put it at the top of the plug-in only vehicles available now, but unlike plug-in EVs, the hydrogen car can refuel in three to five minutes. That sounds well and good, but real-world feasibility is still an issue, since there's no supporting hydrogen fuel network.

Using MySQL Sandbox with Percona Server
One of the most useful tools if you're working with multiple versions of MySQL Servers is MySQL Sandbox which allows you to maintain many different versions of MySQL, Percona Server, MariaDB. If you're just working with single sandbox you can just use MySQL Sandbox in its most basic way and it will work:
root@smt2:~/sandboxes# make_sandbox /tmp/Percona-Server-5.5.29-rel29.4-401.Linux.x86_64.tar.gz
unpacking /tmp/Percona-Server-5.5.29-rel29.4-401.Linux.x86_64.tar.gz
Executing low_level_make_sandbox --basedir=/tmp/5.5.29 \
--sandbox_directory=msb_5_5_29 \

Using MySQL 5.6 Performance Schema in multi-tenant environments
Hosting a shared MySQL instance for your internal or external clients ("multi-tenant") was always a challenge. Multi-tenants approach or a "schema-per-customer" approach is pretty common nowadays to host multiple clients on the same MySQL sever. One of issues of this approach, however, is the lack of visibility: it is hard to tell how many resources (queries, disk, […]

Hockney painting expected to fetch at least £5 million (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Beverley Hills Housewife set to smash record for artist's work
2:56pm Monday 23rd March 2009 in Bradford By Michael Black
A David Hockney painting expected to fetch a record sum at auction has gone on public display.
Beverley Hills Housewife will go under the hammer in New York on May 13, and is likely to be sold for between £5 million and £7 million.
This would beat the existing record for a work by the Bradford-born artist, the £2.92 million paid for The Splash in June 2006.
The 12ft by 6ft work is as part of the collection amassed by Betty Freeman, an American philanthropist and patron of the arts, who died in January.
Housewife depicts a 1960s California woman, Miss Freeman, standing on the patio of her luxury home.
Mr Hockney, who studied at Bradford Art College, produced the work between 1966 and 1967, shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, where he visited Miss Freeman to paint her swimming pool for pieces that became the famous California Dreaming series.
Laura Paulson, Christie's deputy chairman and international director of post-war and contemporary art, said: "Beverly Hills Housewife is one of the artist's most fascinating and iconic works and remains a perfect, timeless tribute to Freeman, a modern-day Medici, who will be remembered as an influential patron of our contemporary culture."
Housewife is on show at Christie's in King Street, central London, until Thursday - only the second time the work has ever been displayed in the UK.
In addition to the Hockney, Christie's New York Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Sale will feature works from Miss Freeman's collection by Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol.
A total of 19 lots from the collection are to be sold, with a total estimate of £18 million to £28 million.

The T&A always points out correctly that David Hockney studied at Bradford Art College. It would be interesting to know if the multi-millionaire has ever given one cent to the College that taught him to draw. Bradford Grammar School has benefited from his largesse, but has the College?

text: Anyone ever used their 154 with a snowthrower? I have been looking at a 154 with creeper and snowthrower. I was wondering how it handled the snowthrower. I have used a single stage snowthrower on my cub cadet 73 with creeper and actually preferred a hydro tractor for that task. I wonder though, if it was because the CC 73 (7hp) was a tad underpowered for running the snowthrower. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,


text:
Original? No, not even a little bit. In fact, it's the opposite of that, but here's the number of fucks I give:
Moving along, here are the report cards.
Jason Young (B) vs Eric Wisely (C)
Although credit has to go to Young for finally winning a fight in the UFC, more credit has to go to Wisely for being a moron. In 15 minutes of fighting, he demonstrated about 1 minute of good game-planning. For a kid with Frankie Edgar-like footwork and movement, too many times he was caught unable to pull the trigger and Young simply took him down.
With gifts like that, who needs a birthday? Young demonstrated good standup and decent ground control, though I really think this fight was more Wisely's to lose than Young's to win.
Simeon Thorensen (B-) vs Besam Yousef (C+)
Although the Norwegian got the win, he was badly outstruck in the first round by Yousef, who brought some heavy hands. Pretending I give a fuck enough about this fight to keep writing this sentence would be a lie to both you guys and myself, so here's where I finish. Good work Thorensen. Yousef, take some remedial choke defence training.
Reza Madadi (B) vs Yoislandy Izquierdo (C)
Ok, I think Madadi had something like one punch to Izqu... the Cuban guy's 50 punches. Much like Cyrille Diabate later on the card, this guy has incredible striking mixed with an incompetent ground game. Kudos to Madadi for surviving and winning a one-dimensional fight. Don't worry, Ben Askren makes a living doing that. I'd like to see the Cuban again though, after he tranes UFC more better.
Francis Carmont (C+) vs Magnus Cedenblad (B-)
How can I give a better report card to a loser? Well, first of all, nobody expected Cedenblad to survive five seconds in the cage with GSP's protege, let alone take his back and nearly submit him in the first round. Carmont fought a terrible first round and I can only imagine it's because GSP told him to fight like Frank Trigg.
Cyrille Diabate (C) vs Tom DeBlass (D)
Both fighters pretty much shit the bed in this one, making for a sticky mess that wasn't enjoyable to watch. Tom, taking the fight on short notice, came in and made this an ugly lay and pray. Despite the fact Cyrille has the ground defence of a sea otter, he couldn't sub him in the first. Tom, fatass that he is, then gassed and let the Frenchman come back for the win. Which was about as impressive as France's efforts during WWII.
Papy Abedi (F) vs James Head (A-)
Arrogant shithead who talks smack and mean mugs and poses with a stupid cigar in his mouth? Check. Gutless, heartless douchebag who gives up his back the moment the going gets tough? Check. Given his walking papers and sent back to Schweeeeden? Check. As for James, good work exposing this poseur.
Main Card
Brad Pickett (A) vs Damacio Page (B-)
What can you say? Pickett brought his A game. So did Page, but he sucks. The best you can say about Page is that he throws looping punches and can take a beating. Congrats, so can Leonard Garcia. Great fight to watch, nonetheless. Pickett was flawless for the most part, though he did go half-retard at one point when he tried to guillotine Page inexplicably while the man was doing his best Brock Lesnar turtling impression in the corner. He almost pulled a Big Nog there.
DaMarques Johnson (D) vs John Maguire (C+)
Booooooooring. "Darkness" knew John was a one-trick pony. Despite knowing that, he got gypsy-jujtsued by a lay and prayer FROM THE BOTTOM. Well, if Maguire was fighting someone who wasn't borderline top 50 we might be handing him a different report card today. But since he was fighting a TUF scrub who should be cut and forced to work a real job, we'll have to settle for a C+. Congrats, John, you can lay and pray and occasionally throw up a sub. Let's see how that works against fighters who aren't imbeciles.
Dennis Siver (C) vs Diego Nunes (D)
You know what they say right? If it aint working, keep bashing your bloody skull against the wall until the goo oozes out and you die from blood loss. That was Diego's gameplan, apparently. Well, that, and spinning wheel kicks that could were telegraphed from as far away as space. Boring fight, horrible game plans. What makes it worse is that Nunes cut Siver open like a tangerine at the end, but it was too little too late. I wonder if Kenny Florian was watching and wondering how he ever went the decision with this kid.
Paulo Thiago (F) vs Siyar Bahadurzada (A+)
Thiago's gameplan: stare at Siyar for 40 seconds and get knocked out. Well done, Afghanistan. I look forward to your inevitable clash with Erick Silva. The result could force a black hole in the centre of the octagon and pull in everybody close to the event horizon.
Brian Stann (A) vs Alessio Sakara (D)
Nice display of black belt jujitsu, Alessio. I really liked that move where you went unconscious for a second. Super effective. Stann, streaky bastard that he is, gets a knockout. Which means, of course, he'll get subbed in his next outing.
Alexander Gustafsson (B+) vs Thiago Silva (C+)
Alex is definitely top of the food chain. He's so rangy and dangerous that it's hard to think of many who could beat him. The comparisons to Jon Jones are somewhat valid, except Alex is even more dangerous because the man moves like a 205-pound frikkin Dominick Cruz! I still think an elite wrestler could give him problems, but good luck getting inside! As for Silva, I don't think he was that bad. Coming off a year suspension and facing top 5 or top 10 calibre can't be easy. Yes, he's one-dimensional, but he's also exciting. I'd rather watch Silva lose 100 times than GSP win once.
That's it, folks. If you don't like my report card, you know what you can do and where you can go.
I think he's dead, Jim.

Today the Washington Redskins signed Robert Griffin III to his rookie deal after a longer than expected wait to get the rookie under contract. The hang-up, as with all current rookies that are unsigned, is the offset language teams are trying to put into their contracts.
Essentially the offset language states that if a player is cut before his contract reaches completion, and another team picks him up, then that player cannot 'double dip' and get paid his rookie salary, and salary from a new team. The Carolina Panthers know offset language well (or the lack thereof) because when Jake Delhomme was cut prior to the 2010 season the organization were paying Jake, as were the Cleveland Browns.
I find the inclusion of such language in rookie deals is both greedy and shortsighted. RGIII's deal today was finalized for a total of just over $21 million dollars spread over four years. It wasn't so long ago the St. Louis Rams completed their rookie contract with Sam Bradford, a deal which totaled 6 years, $78 million-almost three times per year what Griffin III is getting paid. The rookie salary situation needed to get sorted, and the pay scale saw to that, but the money-grubbing that's happening over the offset language is appalling, and a key reason why Andrew Luck remains unsigned. It's worth noting that the deal agreed to by RGIII did not contain such language.
More after the jump
There's good reason why the Carolina Panthers were so quick to get Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly signed, neither contract contained the offset language. Jerry Richardson fell into an amazing situation where he was the first owner to benefit from a #1 overall pick under the new pay scale, and he ensured the Panthers didn't waste time bickering over pennies. Instead, the deals were done quickly; both Newton and Kuechly got their fully guaranteed contracts and could concentrate solely on football.
Nothing is more important to professional athletes than their confidence. Time and time again we see talented, young players who are derailed by a lack of faith, either in themselves or from an organization. I can't imagine it's a great feeling then to be told on draft night how important you are to a team, then a couple of months later being mandated that you add a special provision to your contract 'just in case we cut you'. I'm of the opinion that when a team selects a player in the first round they make a tacit vote of confidence in that player being 'the guy', and as such they have the responsibility to pay their full rookie deal, one that is pennies on the dollar compared to corresponding contracts a few years ago.
To the average fan it may seem fair to include offset language. After all, how fair is it for someone like Jamarcus Russell to be paid for failure? However, look at it this way: If you're RGIII (for example) and making $5 million per year, but Washington turns into a nightmare scenario and you get cut, how fair is it that you should choose between sitting at home for $5 million a year, or continuing to pursue your dream for $300k? The lack of offset language is a protection for players stuck in terrible situations.
For the Carolina Panthers this is a moot point. They have shown appropriate faith in their first round picks, and put their money where their mouths are. Time will tell if these teams trying to make their rookies agree to such language will be forced to pay for it when their next contract is due.

New Chairlift At Les 2 Alpes (17-Aug-10)
Les 2 Alpes, France, August 17, 2010 - currently one of two French
Les 2 Alpes, France, August 17, 2010 - currently one of two French
Les 2 Alpes – which is currently one of the two French resorts open for summer skiing – is building a new quad chairlift, as part of a raft of upgrades for winter 2010-11.
The 2.7 million euro POMA built lift will improve access to the La Fee sector. The 474m long lift rises 164 vertical metrtes and will carry a capacity of 2,000 people per hour.
Work on the lift began a few weeks ago and seven towers are currently being installed during August. Then the drive terminal, cables, electricity will follow and testing is due to take place in late October ahead of a November completion for the new season.
Other improvements include a 1 million Euro spend on upgrading mountain signage over two years. More than 500 directional arrows, 160 sign posts and 15 electronic notice boards with scrolling information will be installed.
Finally two new CATEX avalanche triggers are being installed at a cost of 700,000 Euros to protect power lines, improving safety for resort employees working in the La Fee and Thuit sectors.

With the Biggio snub for the HOF I thought I would do a little comparison of their careers since Yount was a first ballot HOFer. If the statistical difference is slight I'm going to judge it as a push or even.
Hits: Biggio 3060, Yount 3142 advantage=push
BA: Biggio .281, Yount .285 advantage=push
HRs: Biggio 291, Yount 251 advantage=Biggio
Doubles: Biggio 668, Yount 583 advantage=Biggio
SB: Biggio 414, Yount 271 advantage=Biggio
OBP: Biggio .363, Yount .342 advantage=Biggio
WAR: Biggio 70.5, Yount 74 advantage=push
SLG; Biggio .433, Yount ..430 advantage=push
Runs: Biggio 1844, Yount 1632 advantage=Biggio
RBI: Biggio 1175, Yount 1406 advantage=Yount
MVPs: Biggio 0, Yount 2 (at 2 different positions) advantage=Yount
Both players were rated below average on most defensive metrics. Yount may have a slight advantage.
Both players played demanding defensive positions. Biggio (Catcher, 2B, CF with a little LF) Yount (SS, CF)
I would like to look into more advanced metrics later on to further compare their careers but the only justification I can make for Yount being a 1st ballot HOFer and Biggio not is the eras they played in and Yount's MVPs (the fact that he's one of only 3 players to win MVP at 2 different positions is pretty impressive) because the raw numbers favor Biggio in a lot of aspects. Just furthers my belief that Biggio should have been voted in yesterday.
Just thought I would post this for some food for thought.

Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 4 medium leeks, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 6 yellow bell peppers (2 pounds), stemmed and seeded, cut into chunks
- 6 large sprigs tarragon, plus more leaves for garnish
- 2 3/4 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock, skimmed of fat
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 large slice Italian bread, cut into 1/2-inch-by-3-inch pieces, toasted
Step 1
Place sliced leeks in a large bowl of cold water and let stand for 5 minutes to rid them of dirt and sand. Lift out of the water and drain in a colander. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small stockpot, heat oil over low heat. Add leeks and cook until wilted, about 10 minutes. Add peppers, tarragon, stock, and salt and pepper to taste. Raise heat to high; bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until peppers are very tender, about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Remove from heat and discard tarragon sprigs. Transfer soup to a food processor and puree. Pass puree through a fine strainer and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary. Divide soup among 4 bowls and place 2 of the toast pieces in each. Garnish with tarragon leaves and drizzle with olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately.

Lovely Art Deco signed Garne necklace and earrings. The necklace is approx 14 ¼" in length and ½" wide. The earrings are approx 2 ¼" L. I have included an unsigned bracelet which measures 6 ¼" long x ½" wide and goes very well with this set. The bracelet clasp is a little different than the fold over clasp on the necklace. The metal on the back of the bracelet is not as shiny as that of the necklace and earring. The necklace and earrings look to be rhodium plated which was common for Garne. None of that takes away how well the bracelets looks with the set. I have included several pictures that give a better description than I.

SSL Cert being hijacked by my own sites
I have multiple sites on a linux server.
I have one custom built PHP CMS that has an SSL Cert. (Site A)
I have a few Joomla sites that do not have or need SSL.
At least two of the Joomla sites (Sites B & C) are showing up in google with strange results.
The google result is taking the domain name of Site B or C, and cross-breeding it with the path/folder/file/query after the domain from Site A.
It is producing a URL that shouldn't actually exist. The page it loads is from Site A, even though the domain in the URL is from Site B or C.
AND, it's doing it as https -- secure. Sites B & C do not have any https secure pages.
Before actually going to the page though, an Untrusted Cert warning appears.
It's difficult to explain, I hope I'm making sense.
I'm muddling through the Joomla admin turning off all SSL functions that I can find.
It doesn't seem to matter.
Any ideas what I can do to resolve this?
Thanks for any feedback!Pandora can't go back into the box - he only comes out.

It appears that Site A is the master account and Sites B & C are "addon" domains which enable access via Site A's subdirectories.
The simple way around this problem is to add mod_rewrite code to Site A which redirects the subdirectory requests (to Sites B & C) to their fully qualified domains, i.e.,
# BEFORE your custom CMS mod_rewrite code and after your RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^subdirectoryB/(.*)$ http://www.SiteB/$1 [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^subdirectoryC/(.*)$ http://www.SiteC/$1 [R=301,L]
There are problems within the Apache board so I included this simple mod_rewrite code here rather than there.

Few media marching bands have beat the Iraq war drums more frantically and with more influence than the editorial pages of the Washington Post. On Monday, the Post announced the hiring of another drummer boy, one who played a key propaganda role inside the Bush White House.
The Post editorial pages were an echo chamber for pre-war distortions and paranoid fantasies originated by the White House Iraq Group (WHIG). So it's grotesquely fitting that the Post would hire as an op-ed columnist, Michael Gerson, Bush's top speechwriter who – as a key wordsmith within WHIG – helped originate the flights of rhetorical fancy that so dazzled the Post's laptop warriors. Gerson spun the deceit; the Post peddled it. Now they'll operate under the same roof.
In explaining why the Post was adding yet another pro-war voice to its op-ed page, hawkish editorial page editor Fred Hiatt described Gerson as being "a different kind of conservative from the other conservatives on our page.†Thanks, Fred, for all the diversity.
In their new book "Hubris,†Michael Isikoff and David Corn write that it was Gerson who –
* inserted references to the yellowcake-from-Niger tale into various Bush speeches, including the 2003 State of the Union.
* helped prepare Secretary of State Colin Powell's dishonest and bellicose speech to the U.N.
* conceived Team Bush's trademark paranoid "soundbite†warning of a potential Iraq nuclear program: "The first sign of a smoking gun might be a mushroom cloud.â€
According to "Hubris,†the "mushroom cloud†line was intended for a Bush speech, but was too good to hold. http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003121401 It was first deployed in September 2002 by anonymous White House aides in a New York Times front-page scare story (by Judith Miller and Michael Gordon) warning that Iraq had "stepped up its quest for nuclear weapons.†On CNN that day, Condoleezza Rice declared: "We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.†And Gerson's line became a standard and manipulative war cry from then on.
Speechwriter Gerson should be right at home at the Washington Post. From September 2002 through February 2003, the Post editorialized 26 times in favor of the Iraq war. As Russell Mokhiber and Robert Weissman have documented, its op-ed page was also dominated by hawks screaming for war. War skeptics were denounced as "fools†and "liars†and worse – and the skeptics were not given space to respond. http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0304-07.htm
As Gerson's "smoking gun/mushroom cloud†soundbite took flight, Al Gore made an Iraq speech questioning "preemptive war.†On the Post op-ed page, Gore's speech was "dishonest, cheap, low†and "wretched…vile…contemptible.†And that was all in one column. Another called it "a series of cheap shots.â€
By contrast, the error-filled Colin Powell speech at the U.N. (that Gerson worked on) was hailed at the Post with almost Pravda-like unanimity. An editorial – headlined "Irrefutable†– declared: "It is hard to imagine how anyone could doubt that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction.†And the Post op-ed page from right to "left†embraced Powell's speech.
"When reading the Post's pre-war coverage,†summarized journalist Robert Parry, "there was a whiff of totalitarianism in which dissidents never get space to express their opinions but are still excoriated by the official media. When the state speaks, however, the same media hails the government's brilliance.†http://www.consortiumnews.com/2006/041906.html
Gerson and his new colleagues at the Post worked together to help bring us one of the worst foreign policy debacles in our nation's history. Newspapers are supposed to hold discredited public officials to account. The Post is hiring him.
It's partly because of the Post's inexcusable coverage before the war, and its ongoing pro-war editorial bias, that I will be joining Scott Ritter, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern and other activists at Camp Democracy in Washington D.C. this Tuesday, Sept. 19, for a public forum on the media's role in Iraq and Iran. http://campdemocracy.org/schedule
There will also be a protest march to the Washington Post headquarters that evening. With the newspaper's hiring of Gerson, I know an appropriate slogan: "Two, four, six, eight/Separate the press and state.â€
Jeff Cohen http://jeffcohen.org/ is the founder of FAIR http://www.fair.org/index.php,, and author of the new book: "Cable News Confidential: My Misadventures in Corporate Media†http://www.amazon.com/Cable-News-Confidential-Misadventures-Corporate/dp/097606216X/sr=8-1/qid=1157854253/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-3269566-1435014?ie=UTF8&s=books.

Hey guys... just wanted to pass on some info that a lot of people were considering after underdog and Guru posted the FanShot of the Sport Science segment of Tim Tebow and his adjusted throwing motion.
The Segment revealed that by adjusting where he held the ball, Tim shaved 60 milliseconds off of his throwing motion and brought it down to an average of 530 milliseconds.
The question was, how does that rank against some of the NFL QB's... and other prospects?
Well, Sport Science ran two other segments on QB's in the draft... one for John Skelton(QB prospect out of Fordham) and one for Jevan Snead (QB prospect out of Ole Miss). These segments were different from the Tim Tebow segment, which took footage from Tebow's pro-day and compared it against some game-time footage to assess his new throwing motion. The Skelton and Snead segments were basically an indoor test of the two QB's response times in identifying the correct target, and then making an accurate throw using lighted targets and two rushers.
Although they never directly compared the three QB's, if you were paying attention, you could snag some very helpful information.
First... Sport Science measured Tim Tebow's new throwing motion, from start to release at 530 milliseconds.
John Skelton's throwing motion, from start to release was measured at 410 milliseconds.
Jevan Snead's throwing motion, from start to release was measured at 430 milliseconds.
****Before you draw any great conclusions, note this... These measurements were not all performed the same way... so it would be slightly unfair to be dogmatic in your conclusions here. The scenarios were different (Tebow was measured off of pro-day film, and Skelton and Snead were measured in a controlled variable experiment where speed and accuracy was the objective ) and this could easily effect the precision of the numbers being compared.
If you watched the Tim Tebow segment, you will notice that by shaving 60 milliseconds off of his throwing motion, that equated to a huge difference in regards to protection and time to throw (Sport Science said that it equalled nearly 2 more feet of space between the defender and QB). We all understand just how important this is to success in the NFL, where winning and losing can be determined in seconds and inches.
Snap-shot Conclusions....
First, If we simply consider that all measurements are accurate, and therefore, comparable, we find that even with Tebow's improved delivery, it is significantly slower than both Skelton and Snead... and I mean significantly slower. If Tebow could add 2 extra feet of throwing space by trimming 60 milliseconds off of his old throwing motion, then the difference between Tebow's new motion and Skelton (120 milliseconds)... and Snead (100 milliseconds) are overwhelming... and not something that can simply be overcome with "great intangibles".
Second, in the Sport Science segments for Skelton and Snead, they gave NFL comparisons for each QB's throwing motion time. For Skelton, his 410 millisecond motion is on par with NFL great Peyton Manning. For Snead, his 430 millisecond motion is on par with SuperBowl Champion QB Drew Brees. Both of these NFL QB's are easily considered as two of the top passers in this league. Tebow's 530 millisecond delivery just simply does not stack up.
Other Factors to Consider...
Recently, I watched an interview of a NFL analyst (I wish I could remember who) who mentioned that one of the reasons that Tebow was so successful in College was because the game was slower for him, than it was for other players. What that would mean is that Tebow is able to process information and make decisions just a tad faster than the average QB. If this is, in fact, the case, this would help equalize these numbers between all three QB's, or would, at least, help decrease the disparity between them... although I doubt it would cover a 100 millisecond spread.
The other consideration would be Tebow's mobility, which gives him an advantage over most other QB's, and significantly changes the comparisons between the release times. If Tebow was limited to being a "pocket passer" only, then his release time could, very well, become an overwhelming liability in the NFL. However, because he has a skill set that includes mobility... the release time argument may very well be off-set by the ability to extend the play with his speed and elusiveness.
What this means for Tim Tebow...
Well obviously, if Tebow is going to become an elite "Pocket Passer", then he will need to greatly improve his release time. Will he ever have a release time that is equivalent to Brees or Manning? That is very, very unlikely, however, I wouldn't put it past the kid. With continued coaching and training on footwork and mechanics he can, and probably will, improve that aspect of his game.
What it also means means, at least in my opinion, is that McDaniels saw significant value in Tebow's ability to extend the play with his mobility. If McDaniels is able to improve Tebow's release to a point of comparison with average NFL QB's, then we very well might have an incredible QB at the helm of Denver's offense in the future.

The number of applications to Indiana teacher colleges is at its lowest level in at least five years, and education leaders say new state laws are keeping people from entering the field.
Applications are down at Purdue, Ball State and Indiana University.
The decline stems in large part from a wave of education changes that emerged from the 2011 Legislature. Their goal is to increase teacher and school accountability, but many teachers feel they're under fire and are being blamed for failing schools.
Gov. Mitch Daniels says the old system didn't perform well. He thinks the changes should excite teachers and ensure the best ones are in the classroom.
Daniels will become president of Purdue University in January.

Crews responded to a gas leak at a restaurant parking lot in Murfreesboro on Tuesday morning.
The Murfreesboro Fire Department says crews discovered a tanker truck was leaking argon, a liquid refrigerant, in the overflow parking lot for Cracker Barrel on Chaffin Place.
They were able to track down the driver of the truck, who was able to open a valve to stop the leak.
Capt. Joe Barrett said in a news release that the gas can be dangerous if it gets into a water system, is continuously inhaled or comes into contact with skin.
Officials say no one was injured in the incident and the gas did not enter any waterways.
Traffic was shut down for 300 feet in all directions and one side of a nearby Motel 8 was evacuated as a precaution.
The surrounding roads have since reopened and all hotel guests were able to return to the building.

Appearance: Pours a clear, deep, dark amber body with a smallish, frothy, off-white head.
Smell: The aroma is almost fully dominated by the scent of peach.
Taste: Bready, toasty malts with a light sweetness. There's the anticipated peach flavor, though, thankfully, it doesn't overwhelm everything else like it did in the nose. Vague nuttiness. No more than a light hop bitterness. Drying, peachy finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: I don't get it. The union of peaches and pecans alongside a dunkelweizen (which is as much a proper dunkelweizen as Shiner Bock is a bock) is totally lost on me. This just isn't what I'm looking for in a fruit beer, winter beer, or dunkelweizen.

This poured out as a clear reddish brown color with an off white head on top. The retention is thin and there isn't any lacing. The smell of the beer to me was really impressive. I poured out and was overwhelmed by the peach in it. The smell is sweet like candy and won't appeal to most beer lovers out there. The taste is also sweet, again with peaches I wish the nuts came out a little more. The mouthfeel is very drinkable and easy going. Not bitter at all or cloying. Overall despite it's "artificial" aromas and flavors that it more than likely has... it's still a really good tasting beer in my opinion. I would prefer it if it wasn't artificial at all and all natural but either way I enjoy this beer. I feel it's a bit too clear to be a traditional Dunkelweizen as well. All in all I would drink this beer again though.

Wow a holiday beer in mid October...it gets earlier every year it seems like.Poured into a weizen glass a deep reddish infused russet color with a thinner pillow-like head atop.Peach and toasted wheat in the nose,not bad but the peach seemed artificial,maybe its not,just seemed so.Alot of peach flavor and there is some of the roasted pecan flavor in there,its smooth and surprisingly rich.A bit of toasted wheat malt to go with the fruity and nuttiy flavors.Not a bad beer,I bought it for my wife and I came out liking it more than her.Again Shiner gives me a pleasant surprise.

Served in a Devil's Backbone weizen glass.
Thanks to JJFoodie for this bottle!
A tad tardy for "holiday cheer", strictly speaking, but who's counting? It pours a clear amber garnet topped by a somewhat short-lived finger of tan foam. The nose comprises cranberry sauce, maple syrup, peaches, brown sugar, sweet flowers, and a touch of miscellaneous grains. The taste brings some darker wheat to the table, along with the advertised pecans in some decent abundance. Meanwhile, the rest of the smell's constituency returns, the fruit (and I'm including the cranberries in this group) clashing with the pecans in a strange and not altogether good or bad way. A toasted biscuit factor is introduced as well, adding to the already cluttered complexity. As far as the flavors go, the sum of the parts suffers from too many disparate parts that don't quite synergize all that well together (some do with others, but it's clear the office is not moving forward in a unified manner). The body is a nice medium, with a light carbonation and a decently smooth and easy-going feel. Overall, a good idea on paper didn't translate too well in practice, but, given the circumstances, things could have gone much, much worse.

A - Poured out a burgundy color with a one-finger, off-white head of fluffy foam. It left minimal lace.
S - It smelled of peaches, maltiness and overall was fairly sweet. Not a bad smell, but it just didn't have any dunkelweizen aroma.
T - It tasted of peaches, malt and some crisp wheat flavor came through here. Mild yeastiness.
M - It was fairly crisp and sharp. A light bodied ale that is very easy drinking.
D - This is an interesting beer. Some dunkelweizen flavor with peaches mixed it. I would drink it again. It could be something to have on hand for guests.

A dunkelweizen brewed with peaches, pecans and delicious natural flavor and caramel color. On a day like this, what could be better than some crisp refreshing natural flavor?
The beer is the color of mahogany with ruby red highlights and perfect clarity, which I find a little odd for a dunkelweizen. The head crackles and dissipates like a can of soda poured into a paper cup. Looks exactly like Coke, actually.
Sweet and tart peaches and cream greet the nose first; more like cream soda actually. Toasted pecans and whole wheat toast are present as well. It's on the sweet side, and oddly artificial smelling.
Cola, peaches, strawberries, caramel and pecans are dominant on the tongue, along with a touch of nutmeg and chocolate. It's very sweet and syrupy, though the body is thin and carbonation high. It finishes on a dry note, with some lingering bitterness, Cherry Coke and peach. This is strange, unsettling stuff; it's like a soda/beer hybrid. If you're the type of person that adds shots of vodka to their RC Cola, you may enjoy this, but otherwise it's best avoided.

Pours chestnut with 3 fingers of sand colored head. Good lacing & average head retention
S: Pear, honey, apricot & peach juice
T: Apricot, dryness, nuttyness, oakyness & green apples up front. Peach juice, comes through as it warms, plus more nuttyness. Finishes dry, fruitty & with oaky notes. Almost pulled a 4.0
MF: Medium bodied with low carbonation
Drinks easy, this an Americanized dunkleweizen. I could drink a few before moving on. Probably on the better brews I've had from these guys

one of those beers i have passed over about a million times without realizing what i was missing. this is a particularly unique brew, a wheat beer that features both pecans and peaches, a refreshing and tasty rewrite of holiday beer. huge peach nose is very authentic, not real nutty, but fresh and juicy in front of medium toasted wheat malt. i really like the subtle spice flavor with the sweet peach, its like real good iced tea from the south. could maybe use a little more hops to soften the sugar, but i like how different this is. the pecans add an earthy richness which is nice with the grain, and the beer is robustly carbonated and lively on the palate. this beer deserves more credit, its one of a kind and among the very best ive had from shiner. worthy of any holiday feast, i may make this a tradition.

Apricot jam in a bottle with a touch of hops. Golden orange in the glass with a very nice head and spritzy on the tongue.
Light body. This is just so sweet and fruity. I taste peach, then apricot, then orange marmalade. Malty but not exactly rich. If only it swerved into a dry and bitterish Belgian yeasty flavor-- but no such luck. There doesn't seem to be much aroma. Breathing out through the nose is like exhaling peach brandy from the gas station liquor store. Still, it's quite drinkable, just hard to get your palate around. If they called it "Orchard Amber" for a summer quaff, it might go down easier. Totally weird and worth a try if you like fruit flavors.
I think this one should be in the Fruit/Vegetable category. If this is a Dunkelweizen, it's well disguised. From the 12 oz bottle bought at Pinkie's in San Angelo.

Pours dark red with an off-white head. Aroma is strong peaches and maybe some pecans. Flavor is pecan, caramel malt and peaches. Quite a bit of nuttyness in the flavor and it finishes slightly bitter. Medium mouthfeel and carbonation. I think this is targeted towards macro drinkers but it is an interesting beer anyway. Not bad overall.

Pours clear dark amber with a nice-sized head that leaves some lacing.
The smell is of fresh peaches with some toasted malt and a hint of pecans.
The taste is of peaches. The peach aspect is nicely done - fresh and real tasting. Some toasted caramelish malt and a hint of pecans back it up. Sweetish, but with enough hops to make it not too sweet. Peaches linger in the aftertaste.
The feel is smooth and crisp.
This is a unique brew. I would not have expected it for a "holiday" brew - maybe it's "southern-style" though. And, it's certainly not typical for a dunkelweizen. Anyway, it's a nice "change of pace" brew with a refreshing peach and pecan character.

It is a rarity anymore when The CANQuest (TM) is the first to review a particular beer in/from a CAN, but this is one of those rare instances! It used to be pretty easy to accomplish this feat, but with the craft CAN revolution on full swing and loads of new CANned beers coming out every day, it has gotten harder. Cheers to The Friendly Greek for making singles of this one available.
From the CAN: "'Tis the season for cheer"; "Greetings from Spoetzel Brewery Shiner, Texas 77984"; "Ale brewed with peaches and peCANs and with natural flavor and caramel color".
The Crack was nice and loud, befitting a Texan beer and my inverted Glug was equally big, to the point that I had to back off to avoid an overflow. While awaiting some of the massive, dense, tawny two-plus fingers of head to fell to a point of reasonable drinability, I took in its color. It was a deep-mahogany (SRM = > 27, < 34) with button-brightness. Man, i could really smell the peaches on the nose! It was like a CAN of preserves. Mouthfeel was medium and the peach flavor was unrelenting, but it also had flavors of milk chocolate and a nuttiness that was the peCANs doing their thing. Finish was pretty sweet, which is usually a drawback for me, but I was really digging this beer. I know that The Friendly Greek also has bottles for sale, so I may give that serving style a try. In the meantime, let me know if you would like me to score a CAN for you in trade for a CAN that I have not tried. Cheers!
Today is Saturday, 28 June 2014 and I have a bottle that had been held in abeyance which I am also going to review at this time.
From the bottle: "Here's a Brew! A Bavarin-style dark wheat"; "'Tis the season for cheer"; "Just for You! Enjoy the Gift of Holiday Cheer"; "Spoetzel Brewery Shiner, Texas 77984"; "Ale brewed with peaches and peCANs and with natural flavor and caramel color"; "Every drop of Shiner is brewed in Shiner"; "Happy Holidays from the 'Little Brewery' in Shiner, TX. We hope you enjoy your Shiner Cheer, an Old World Dunkelweizen brewed with Texas peaches and roasted pecans. The malty flavors of this dark wheat ale are enhanced through the use of malted barley and wheat. And Krausening ensures a smoothness hat makes the subtle peach and pecan flavors all the more satisfying. May your days be merry and bright and your Shiner be cold. Prosit!"; "Give one to someone you love!"
I appreciate that this beer had such wonderful patience in waiting for me to get around to drinking it. The pour began to foam up pretty quickly, so I backed off and let the pseudo-cascade do its thing before settling into two fingers of dense, light-tan head with good retention. Color was a deep, dark-brown with mahogany highlights (SRM = > 22, < 27) and NE-quality clarity. Man, but the nose was just redolent with peaches! Peachy keen, I say. I may run out and get a Tastykake Peach Pie after this. Mouthfeel was soft, kind of full and creamy and the taste was heavy on the peaches, but with a nuttiness, also. Finish was fruity, nutty, semi-sweet, but not over the top. Man, I could drink this year-'round!

A: Pours a medium reddish brown in color with some garnet red and tea-like brown highlights when held up to the light and light to moderate amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a finger tall light beige that slowly fades to a thin film covering the entire surface of the beer and a slightly thicker ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of peaches over the top of lighter notes of spices - there is a moderate amount of sweetness in the smell.
T: Upfront there is a light to moderate flavor of toasted bready malts with much stronger flavors of peach sweetness over the top of it. Lighter notes of spices - cinnamon and nutmeg - along with some very light hints of pecan. Faint notes of bitterness in the finish.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly thin/watery.
O: The addition of peaches to a holiday beer is an interesting but completely successful...it leaves the beer a little too sweet, especially in the smell. It goes down pretty easily but I don't think I would want to drink more than one of these in a session.

Poured into pint glass. Pours ½ finger of beige head. Head fades fast. Color is am amber copper.
Aroma: I can't believe how much the peaches stick out. The pecans show as well. Some caramel and roasted malts. A touch of cocoa.
Taste: Peaches and strawberry fruitiness. Pecans and roasted malts. Chocolate syrup with earthy hops. Interesting.
Mouthfeel: Sweet, fizzy, and roasted. Medium bodied with a high amount of carbonation. Ends a bit dry with fruits.
Overall, a very interesting. Somewhat drinkable. Very fruity. At first, I thought I would be able to drink multiples, but quickly found out that one would be enough.

Thanks goes out to armock for this brew.
Pours a nice dark brown color, nice carbonation, nice one-finger creamy off-white head, with some sticky lacing left behind. The nose is malty, with some peach, toffee. The taste is malty, with a very nice peachy note, with some toffee thrown in. Medium body. Drinkable, this is a tasty brew, quite different.

Hands-On Time: 25min
Cook Time: 35min
Ready In: 1h
Yield: 6
Quiche is perfectly portable, perfectly make-ahead and perfectly delicious. Serve it for breakfast, lunch or even dinner. Bring it to a pot luck or as give as a hostess gift -- who wouldn't love a slice of cheesy goodness?
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unfold crust and roll to 12-inches in diameter. Gently lower into a 9-inch pie plate, taking care not to stretch the dough. Trim edges so it overhangs the rim of the pie plate by one half inch. Fold edges under, and crimp decoratively if desired.
- Prick bottom of crust all over with the tines of a fork. Line crust with foil and fill with dried beans, rice or pie weights. Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, discard foil and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile, prepare leek. Cut off root end, peel away outer leaves. The only part you will be using is the white and light green part so trim any dark green ends. Cut the leek lengthwise and wash all of the sand and grit out of the layers. Slice thinly and set aside.
- Brown turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until not quite crisp. Remove from pan, cut into small pieces and set aside. Melt butter in same skillet over medium-low heat, add leeks and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Spread mustard on the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Fill with cheese, and sprinkle with bacon and leeks. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Pour over cheese mixture in the crust. Return quiche to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until middle is set and top is puffed and golden. Serve warm or at room temperature.

A medium-sized lime yields approximately 1 oz. of juice.
To yield the most juice, limes should be room-temperature or warmer. Limes can be heated in hot water, at a low oven temperature for a few minutes, or zapped in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. Careful, though: too much heating will boil the juice.
Roll the lime under your palm on a hard surface to soften it before juicing.
A variety of fruit-juicing tools are available for purchase, although simply squeezing half a lime with your hand also works effectively.
If you only need a bit of juice at one time, make a toothpick-hole in the skin through which to extract juice, and then leave the toothpick in the hole to "seal" it and maintain freshness.
Juice Ideas:
Sprinkle on cut fruits and vegetables to stave off browning
