Today, I bring to Rumblings, a new series. I am going to force feed my thoughts, to anyone silly enough to open this article, out of curiosity, interest, or just sheer boredom. In it... you will find wonders, and mystery.
Actually, you will find... My thoughts, as they relate to the Bills' current roster. I wanted to wait for the lull when we all are bored, have little happening, and are anxiously waiting for SOMETHING to happen, to have anyone spend the time on my silly thoughts, and impressions from this past season. But I too, want to look ahead at what can be, and in order to do that, I figured, I need to see where we really are. So, after the jump, you can check out my assessment, of first, the QBs, and the offensive linemen, who we have grown familiar with, and who may or may not, be part of the plan moving forward. I hope you enjoy my new series, where I will follow up with a few more posts, to cover the remainder of the offense, as well as the entire defense, and my impressions moving into the draft.
For those of you who have been here a while, you know that I am a very opinionated, and long winded fellow. You may or may not have an appreciation for my view, and you may or may not bother reading this post. I respect that, but what I will say, is that if you pass this by, you are totally missing out. What follows, is how TRT would approach this offseason, and what the roster that I assembled, would likely resemble. I have put in a fair amount of time, and will probably consider another look at this, after the NFL Combine. For now, I will provide a roster breakdown, some hopes regarding scheme, as well as some additions that could be made to help make us competitive in the upcoming season. Most importantly, I will provide my player by position breakdown, where I provide my own perspective on current Buffalo Bills players, and how I would approach their situation, and the improvement of this team. Most assuredly, there will be some things you don't agree with. Some of you may think my assessment is a tad extreme, opinionated, or just plain wrong. Others, might want me to take Nix's place atop the OBD staff (ok, probably only I want this)… because they (and maybe even YOU) will think "Hey, this guy is onto something here." Most of these ideas I have already shared. Some of them might be new, and maybe even surprising. Ultimately, this is a Post-season assessment of where I think we are, where I think we COULD be, and where I ultimately see us going, this coming season. After all that: Here we go!
The easiest way for me to approach this, is with each position, our current players, and where I might like an upgrade. For now, I will just assign any holes created/existing with a letter, to be addressed later on.
Quarterback- IMO- This position is the single most important position in the league.
Ryan Fitzpatrick -OBD would have us believe that Ryan Fitzpatrick is capable, qualified, and can lead us to a championship. Sure, that COULD be true, but so far in his career, he has not shown me enough to believe this to be true. I look forward to his improvement under new QB Coach Lee, though I am not overly optimistic that "FitzMagic", can't turn into his evil twin "FitzTragic" at any second. While I accept that he will be our starter, probably for some time, we are certainly looking for our "QB of the Future" (a 10-12 year starting "Franchise" QB).
Tyler Thigpen- I will waste no time bashing Thiggy, for you fans. I will simply cut him, and let him land on some UFL roster. His release creates hole "A". Ok… maybe I should say… need #1.
Brad Smith- Is he a QB? Is he a WR? Is he "Slash 2.0"? I personally think the answer to all of these, is no. What I CAN say, is that he CAN operate in a Wildcat package, as he demonstrated earlier in the season, and there is NO ONE better to assist him in this, than David Lee (Lee was named "Innovator of the Year" 2008 by Sporting News for introducing the "Wildcat offense" to the NFL.) He has shown the ability to read blocks, and make cuts, both in this package, as well as on screen plays. However, even though I think the Bills may list him on the depth chart as a QB again this year, by no means do I consider him a viable backup, to actual run a pro-style (sorta) offense and not get our receivers killed. He hasn't shown a lot of ball velocity on the few plays we have seen him in our primary offense, but he was a 1st down machine from our versions of the "Wildcat". I think he will resume that role, and hopefully with Coach Lee's help, he can make some strides, and be a viable threat to our opponents once again.
Offensive Line, by position
LT- The left tackle covers the QB's blind side, and is therefore the second most important player on a team, IMO.
Demetrius Bell: Bell is injury prone. He has missed 2/3 of the potential games where he could have played. He is a pending free agent, and I WOULD re-sign him, in the hopes of having experienced depth. I think he is a prototypical RG, or maybe could be a very very good LG, if we had a need there. I am happy to leave him as LT depth, LG depth, and a potential RG starter, should there be a need there. (I will further speculate why, in a moment.) I would re-sign Bell for around 4 years, and 14 million, but only 3 in guarantees, so that if after a season he proves again to be ineffective due to injury, he can be cut, and save all but about 5 of that deal. If he would not accept this deal, I would let him walk.
Chris Hairston: Hairston has the size, length, and intelligence to be a starting LT. In the long term, should we land a STUD LT in the draft, he can be a RT, or a guard, on either side. He might have better skills to move inside, as some think he is too weak in his lower body. I think he plays with good technique. CJ Spiller ran behind him much of his college career, with great success.
LG- I think interior lineman are smaller needs, and that many guys have shown capable, even though they might be undersized (Levitre), oversized (Urbik) or just not drafted early (Rinehart)
Andy Levitre: Andy is a Pro- Bowl caliber player. (What do we call them now, All-pros? If there is NO Pro Bowl moving forward, of course…) He has proven to be one of our best linemen. Though Chan might have over assessed his versatility, he surely has played really well, given his relatively small size for an NFL offensive Lineman. I guess we will keep him. ;)
Chad Rinehart: Chad has proven effective in depth, and maybe even a capable starter. I have no issue here. Keep him.
Center: An NFL center is responsible for keeping the O-Line on the same page, and communicating the protections that the QB wants.
Eric Wood: Wood, could be a great NFL pivot if he can stay healthy, and on the field. Most fans would agree, he is one of our best players, a finisher, and more than capable, as an NFL center. I would like to see him succeed long term, because of the time, money, and hope that we have invested.
Right Guard: You might have noticed I don't list a backup for center. That is because our best center backup, is right guard Craig Urbik. I too, would try and limit my linemen to 7, as OBD has tried. By carrying versatile lineman, injuries might not hinder us too badly. I think it logical to note, that OL might create need #2- if an injury occurs, that leaves us with 5 or 6 capable of suiting up. For my purposes, I will provide 7.
Kraig Urbik: I was NOT a fan of Urbik. I thought he was slow, heavy footed, didn't play with a lot of leverage, and that Wood was trying too hard to pick up his slack throughout the pre-season. Either I was misinterpreting assignments, or he became a whole new player, because I now feel that Urbik has as much potential at center, as right guard. I think that potential amounts to…. A TON. He can be a starting center in Wood's absence, and Rinehart (or even Demetrius Bell, as I feel could be a GREAT right guard) would then be the backup at this position as well.
Colin Brown: LOL. I have nothing more. HE GONE!! I don't see him as a center, a RG, or a tackle, at all. As we don't need a 6'7" monster for a LG, and he isn't athletic enough to be a RT, I see no reason to have him.
Right Tackle: The "other" bookend, the right tackle is taking on the weaker of the two pass rushers generally, but is just as necessary in ensuring the interior linemen (specifically the RG) can double team in the middle, so they need to match up one on one against the defender, consistently.
Erik Pears. Pears had been underwhelming to me… but as he completed each and every game on a line that helped post the least sacks of a QB in the league, he is obviously capable. He is signed for the next few years, and I think that we could use backup for him, in the next couple years, but that Bell/Hairston can potentially hold this role, keeping us at 7.
Sam Young: cut, if we re-sign Bell. He won't necessarily be picked up by anyone else anyway, and we can always carry a prospective tackle on the practice squad. His release doesn't necessarily create a need.
This means, Hairston, Levitre, Wood, Urbik, Pears would start. Bell would backup LT, RT (and in my reality RG) while Rinehart will backup LG/RG. If Wood were NOT capable of playing, this would create need #3, potentially filled by Sam Young (who I haven't seen enough of to say he can't play, but also haven't seen enough of to say he CAN.)
Feel free to ask any questions as they relate to this post, and understand also, that the WR,RB,TE post is almost ready, and will address questions related. I also intend to address the "needs" mentioned, at the end of this post, to sum up "Offense" before moving on to, the D. I need more time for that, because honestly... I am just not prepared for this 43 switch yet. Hahaha. That said, I am going to muddle through it, find the silver linings (however few there may be) and try and find my perspective on the upwind side of the fence.

Teessider finishes second behind Olympic champion
Updated 10:25am Monday 14th July 2014 in Sport By Frank Johnson
TEESSIDER Matty Hynes ran one of the best races of his life to finish runner-up only eight seconds behind Uganda's World and Olympic marathon champion Stephen Kiprotich in yesterday's BUPA Great North Gateshead 10K.
Now with Gateshead Harriers, 26-year-old Hynes, continued to build on his growing reputation when he clocked 29 mins 47 secs – 24 seconds outside his previous best – in the rain as he chased Kiprotich into the finish at Gateshead International Stadium, heading third-placed Marius Ionescu, the Romanian 2012 Olympic Games marathon international.
Hynes, who has blossomed in the last three years under the guidance of Mandale's former top road racing international Stan Markley, won last November's big Leeds Abbey Dash 10K in 29 mins 23 secs – his personal-best - and gained his first Great Britain vest this summer when he was picked to compete in the European Cup 10,000m at Skopje, Macedonia.
Wallsend's Ethiopian athlete Yared Hagos, the Darlington 10K record-holder, finished seventh, 27 seconds ahead of his fellow countryman and Teesside-based Paralympian Wondiye Indelbu.
The women's race was won by European Cross Country Championships silver-medallist Gemma Steel, who headed two Commonwealth Games marathon contestants, Susan Partridge (Leeds and Scotland) and Alyson Dixon (Sunderland Strollers and England).
Men: 1 S Kiprotich (Uganda) 29 mins 29 secs; 2 M Hynes (Gateshead) 29.47; 3 M Inescu (Altringham & Romania) 29.51; 4 J Beattie (Run Fast) 29.52; 5 D Hawkins (Leeds) 29.58; 6 M Scott (Richmond & Zetland) 30.15; 7 Y Hagos (Wallsend) 30.33; 8 W Indelbu (Unatt) 31.00; 9 R Houston (Central AC) 31.15; 10 L vanHaefton (Highgate) 31.54.
Women: 1 G Steel (Charnwood) 32.45; 2 S Partridge (Leeds City) 33.16; 3 A Dixon (Sunderland Strollers) 34.26; 4 R Robinson (Kendal) 34.29; 5 K Brough (Vale Royal) 34.56.

Have any of you hopped on the clip-in extensions bandwagon? If this is your first time seeing them, you may be a teeny tiny bit jarred by the way these look, but ask anyone who's given clip-in's a try… they're life-changers. Used to add length, thickness or both, it's actually kind of amazing the difference they can make to your mane. And once you get the hang of how to put them in, it becomes second nature. We've had tons of people voice that they'd love to learn how to wear clip-in extensions properly (and how to pick out the right ones) so we turned to the all-knowing Martha Lynn for guidance. Click through for the tutorial, and prepare to have your world rocked!
Work your way up the back of your head, spacing out sections every half-inch to an inch. Let the second strip you attach be the second short one, then repeat with the two longer sections. You don't want to go too high with them, because then you run the risk of them showing.

When I set my user NE coordinate in MS "image 1" then go to PS and then back to MS, the view switches to "image 2".
I do not want it to switch. What is happening?
verify your sysvar UCSFOLLOW (>>>details<<<).
- alfred -
I did check the "UCSFOLLOW", but the switch is happening in MS. This only happens when I create a user coordinate, not on "World" UCS. The UCS Icon probably means something I just din't get.
BTW, this drawing is set up as a regular 3d CAD drawing, no Map 3d links.
My input sequence below:
>Command: UCS
>Current ucs name: *WORLD*
>Specify origin of UCS or [Face/NAmed/OBject/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/ZAxis
>Specify point on X-axis or <accept>:
>Regenerating model.
>Command: ucs
>Current ucs name: *NO NAME*
>Specify origin of UCS or [Face/NAmed/OBject/Previous/View/World/X/Y/Z/ZAxis
>Specify point on X-axis or <accept>:
>Regenerating model.
Thank you for your reply.
I tried your steps (including the change to a layout and back to modelspace), what I saw is that the first time I do that the zoom-factor changes, but not the use and not the view-angle as you showed in your second pdf.
What might be a difference:
Sorry, - alfred -
I've attached a sample drawing with the issues I had described in my OP.
I am hoping it is JUST a user malfunction...lol
bad news: I can reproduce it with your drawing with Map3D 2013 SP1
good news: I can't reproduce it with AutoCAD 2013 SP1.1
So I think that will be repaired in the next Map3D servicepack (hopefully)
- alfred -
I'm having the same issues, did you ever get this resolved Grimline?
Unfortunately I haven't. Others are having the same problems as well.

California state Controller John Chiang has probably achieved hero status with some government watchdogs (and reporters) for things like creating a database of local government salary information. He recently boosted his stock further with an update to the salary info that lets users slice and dice it in various ways.
On Monday, Dec. 17, Chiang released public employee salary data for 2011 and rolled out a redesigned website that allows users to compare governments, check out their own city and create reports.
Of course I had to play around with it, and I found some interesting facts on Riverside:
The ratio of city residents per employee (based on a Riverside population of 306,779) is 113:1; the statewide average is 104:1
The average wage of Riverside city workers is $66,431; total annual wages are about $179.4 million, so divided among the city population that's $584.88 per resident spent on city wages
Riverside City Manager Scott Barber is well compensated, but looking at his pay alone – not including benefits – he doesn't make the top 10 even among city employees. No. 1 is the Indian Wells city manager, whose total wages are $677,172; the only other city manager on the list is Santa Ana's. Positions in police, transit and other departments round out the list.
Barber's total wages come in at $287,314 – but that doesn't include $95,643 in health, retirement and other benefits, so his full compensation package is worth $382,957, according to the data on Chiang's site.
Chiang gets the data from local governments, and the site notes he can't vouch for its accuracy. When Barber was hired, I reported (base don information the city gave me) that his compensation would be $410,492 – so I'm not sure what the source of the discrepancy is. City executives and elected officials agreed to give up deferred compensation when the city was negotiating pension reform deals, but that was nearly a year before Barber has hired.
I wanted to compare city managers' total compensation and see where Riverside's top boss ranks, but I couldn't find a quick way to do that. Anyway, if you're interested in government salaries, this is a fun site to check out. Riverside also posts its own salary data for elected officials and executives here.

When Tim Murray's name first emerged as a potential General Manager in Buffalo, it was a little concerning for fans in Ottawa. Murray had long been rumoured to be the next in line here in Ottawa when Bryan Murray was ready to retire.
Losing him to a Division rival certainly wasn't an ideal scenario.
I'll admit, I sort of assumed it was a case of the Sabres being thorough in their search and in the end they would end up going with one of the other options on what was a lengthy list of candidates. Yet this morning, both Nick Kypreos and Bruce Garrioch are suggesting that Tim Murray may in fact be the favourite for the job in Buffalo.
Senators AGM Tim Murray may have emerged as top candidate in Buffalo. #Sens
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) January 6, 2014
Obviously it would be disappointing for the Senators to lose Murray. While some I have talked to suggest he wasn't a slam dunk to be the next GM in Ottawa, losing him would be pretty unfortunate. Murray has always had a great eye for talent and is considered to be a huge part of the drafting success Ottawa has had in recent years.
Meanwhile the Senators will continue to work on an extension for Bryan Murray as Melnyk has already hinted that they would like to bring Bryan back for another season.
Will be interesting to see if Tim Murray does indeed land that job in Buffalo.

1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
½ pound carrots, peeled
1 small onion, cut into eighths
1 large clove garlic, cut into 3 pieces
1 teaspoon salt or to taste
15 grindings of black pepper
½ teaspoon powdered ginger
½ teaspoon dried or fresh oregano, chopped
½ teaspoon dried or fresh basil, chopped
2 large eggs
¼-1/3 cup teff flour or ground flaxseed
Canola or peanut oil for frying
Greek yogurt or sour cream for garnish (optional)
Cut the sweet potatoes and carrots into 1 ½ inch chunks and grate them using the fine grating disk on a processor or using the larger holes on a hand grater. Set aside in a 3-quart bowl.
Place onion and garlic pieces in a processor work bowl with the metal blade. Pulse the machine on and off until the onions are finely chopped. Return half of the potato/carrot mixture to the processor and pulse on and off about 5 times to combine the ingredients. Empty mixture into the bowl with the rest of the sweet potatoes and carrots. If you don't have a processor, grate the onion first and chop some of the potato carrot mixture into a fine chop.
To the mixture, add the spices and eggs and ¼ cup of the teff or ground flaxseed to the mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Add a little more grain if mixture seems too loose and watery. Do not make the mixture too firm or finished product will be dry and heavy.
Heat a large skillet or griddle for 20 seconds. Add enough oil to totally cover the bottom of the pan. Heat oil for 10 seconds. Each time before you scoop up some of the mixture, mix contents of bowl. Drop 2 tablespoons of potato/carrots into the hot pan to form each latke. Repeat with more mixture to fill pan but do not over crowd. When bottoms of pancakes are golden, gently turn them over using two slotted spatulas. When golden on the second side remove to a plate that is covered with crumpled paper towels, which gives you more surface area to absorb the excess oil on the latkes than just laying down multiple sheets of paper. Younger children love to do this step and feel like they are helping out. Proceed with the remaining mixture. Serve plain or with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogur

MCLENNAN COUNTY- More than a dozen children now have brand new families in McLennan County.
November is National Adoption Month and Baylor Law School held Waco's Adoption Day Friday where 14 families were able to finalize their adoptions.
There are 77 children in McLennan County waiting to be adopted, but Friday afternoon 28 of those were welcomed into new families.
Waco's Adoption Day is part of a nationwide effort to draw attention to children who were abused or neglected and are in foster care waiting for a permanent home.
"These children are thinking when is my turn? Why not me? What we want the community to know is why not you? Why can't you step forward and help a child who is in the foster care system," said Zanell Dorsey, Adoption Recruitment Coordinator.
The Johnson family celebrated their eighth adoption Friday afternoon when they welcomed 16-year-old Bradley Johnson into their family.
"We're excited, it's been a long time coming. He's our second foster placement and it's been four years waiting on this so we're excited, the whole family's excited and he's excited," said Phillip Johnson.
There are 5,900 children statewide still waiting to be adopted, and 180 in Central Texas alone.

Town Forced to Play Away
Sun 20th Nov, 2011 04:49pm
Sun 20th Nov, 2011 04:49pm
With the remedial work at Terence McMillan overrunning and still to finish, Town will be forced to play three first XI games at their opponents home venue. First up is this Saturday's Essex Premier Cup tie against Frenford Senior (26/11), which now takes place at Oakfields Sports Ground, off Forest Road in Barkingside. The two other games are the EOFL Premier Division matches against Hannakins Farm and Manford Way on the 10th and 17th December respectively. With the remedial works nearing their finish, Town will hope that the New Year signifies a 'new' pitch. For all its peccadilloes, TMac is still our home.

Retire those pork, chicken and beef recipes. Try this salmon dish which can also use a haddock substitute. Chef Robert Barral of the Café Provence in Brandon, Vermont made this salmon filet with crushed potato meal for our Morning Show. It serves four people.
20 oz filet of Salmon
2 potatoes Chef's potatoes
1/2 stick of butter
Smoked Salmon Mousse
½ cup Smoked Salmon
½ cup Creamed Cheese
2 tsp Chopped Dill
2 tsp Chopped Parsley
½ lemon Lemon Juice
to taste Salt & pepper
1) Make the salmon mousse: Place the smoked salmon in the Cuisinart with the cream cheese. Pulse a few times, then add the rest of the ingredients such as the chopped dill, and parsley, lemon juice and the salt and pepper.
2) Prep the fish: Cut the salmon on to 4 oz portions. Spread the smoked salmon mousse on top of the fillets of salmon. Peel and slice the chef's potatoes on the mandoline and blanch in clarified butter. Place on top of the filet of salmon and refrigerate immediately until dinner time.
3) Finish the recipe: Bake the filet of salmon in the oven for ten to fifteen minutes at 375*F and remove as soon as the fish is cooked and the potatoes are golden brown. Taste the lentil stew for seasoning and arrange on the plate around the fish. Serve hot. (A little bit of sweet mashed potatoes can be added under the fish to give height to the dish).

The staff and accommodations were completely outstanding. I highly recommend The Lotus Guest House and will definitely be back! Loved this place!!
3.6 on April 26, 2014
Our room was very nice. The windows overlooked the street. The fireplace was a very nice feature, and the bed was very good. I was not too impressed with the breakfast of bagels and yogurt, and it was not convenient to have to park off-site for a fee; but overall it was a good experience because the room was so nice.

Lotus house in itself is a home away from home.. Nice warm inviting staff who is always available to provide anything you need. The rooms have fireplaces in them and overlook the center of town commercial street. You feel a sense of family when you are there from beginning to end..

Chicago aldermen heard testimony Tuesday as they consider a ban on the sale of energy drinks in the city, but haven't yet voted.
Key witness Wendy Crossland, whose 14-year-old daughter died after drinking two energy drinks within a 24-hour period, was snowed in and unable to attend the city council meeting. Alderman Ed Burke is sponsoring the proposal.
The makers of energy drinks maintain their products are safe.
If the ban is approved, Chicago would become the first city in the country to stop the sale of the beverages.
No word on when a vote may take place.

An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
Free software covers such a diverse range of utilities, applications, and other assorted projects that it can be hard to find the perfect tool. We pick the best of the bunch. This month, we discuss Ubuntu, Debfoster, and Deborphan.
Don't expect the software patent directive to disappear from your screen just because the EU parliament rejected it; new initiatives have been announced by both friends and opponents of software patents. Ubuntu and Debian Debian [1] is not considered a newbie-friendly distribution. The install is too complex, and despite attempts at automatic hardware detection, even something as simple as attaching a USB stick poses a seemingly impossible task for non-experts.

Agnes Obel : Riverside
Agnes Obel is a Danish-born, Berlin-based singer who does more or less the same thing as Tiny Ruins, but more ambitiously and more coherently. Her lilting folk is piano and not guitar-based, but she has the same solemn little girl voice and quixotic lyrical style. Obel paints a simpler picture, evoking over and over the image of river side and the cleansing baptism it promises while the music stirs memories of a lost or half-imagined world. Beautiful.

Oracle Taunts IBM with $10M Challenge
"We are going to challenge any enterprise company to take one of its existing database applications, that it has not run, and if we cannot run that database application at least twice as fast on Sun gear we'll give it $10 millon. Oh, and IBM, you're welcome to enter."
It was only one of many shots fired at the computer-giant, IBM. Ellison assured the OpenWorld audience that Oracle would continue its business in software and hardware:
"If IBM wants to compete we will compete. We are not selling the hardware business, no part of the software business are we selling."
The CEO's barrage was fueled by allegations that IBM was encouraging Oracle hardware customers to come over to them because Oracle was supposedly getting out of the hardware business. Oracle, however, has not been totally honest in its advertising either as they were fined for misleading statements about Sun and Oracle servers.
Ellison now stands behind a new benchmark report that shows Sun-Oracle servers running 26% faster than IBM, using less hardware, less energy, and having a record 7.7 million tpmC. This report is what prompted the 10 million-dollar guarantee. At least for Larry Ellison, there are no doubts about the strength that the Sun acquisition has brought to Oracle:
"We are looking forward to competing with IBM in the systems business, and we think the combination of Sun and Oracle is well equipped to compete successfully against the giant. We hope this [removes] some of the uncertainty. We're in it to win it."

Dina Cociug replied on Wed, 2014/02/19 - 8:33am in response to: Samya Gmal
The misleading facts about Sun and Oracle servers had a great impact on Oracle`s hardware customer, they lost their credibility and now they are trying to get it back. By creating an original site they can improve credibility and make their brand stronger. The competition between Oracle and IBM will surely create a lot of new opportunities for the developers, I know that Sun-Oracle servers are using less energy and hardware but I am sure that IBM specialists are working on a solution for their servers.
John Lee replied on Wed, 2014/07/02 - 8:53am
Wow! That's incredible. I dont regret now buying my server ( http://www.spectra.com/ibm/ibm-product/16/252/Used-IBM-Power-730-8231-E2C7.htm ) which is possibly compatible to any IBM updates that may come.

how to view past shows
Hi my name is Daren and I am a 19 year Army First Sergeant. My brother Scott Ridenoure and cousin Eric Burnett film for you all from time to time. They have been in a couple of shows and I was looking how to view those shows. They were in a Anticosti Island deer hunt and a northwest arkansas deer hunt. Thanks.
I have the privilege to hunt with both Scott and Eric and they are some COOOOOL dudes!!! Being a heart surgeon....I'm surprised that Scott finds any time to hunt. And Eric, for a guy that spends most of his time arguing in a court room....I'm surprised that a heart surgeon and a powerful attorney get along so well;):D
Seriously, couple of great guys!!! I'll forward this info to the office. I bet Jody can help you out!!
Now that I think about it....I think those hunts are on SWD4 and SWD5. Tell brother Scott to hook you up with a copy of the DVD's.
Thank you for your Service.

Chris Wey has loved soccer since he was a child and is now getting a chance to play professionally with the Indy Eleven, the new soccer team in Indianapolis.
But he doesn't get to play before saying good-bye to his fifth-grade students at Garden City Elementary School.
"I've loved soccer my whole life," Wey said. "I figured I'm not getting any younger so I thought I'd try. This has been a goal of mine."
Wey grew up in Munster and played soccer at IUPUI from 2004 to '07. He also spent time with Futbol Club Indiana of the National Premier Soccer League in 2009 and with Premier Arena Soccer League's Indy Elite in '12.
He has also coached the Westside United Futbol Club, a premier travel soccer organization for children from Wayne Township and other communities on the west side of Indianapolis.
Wey has been teaching at Garden City for three years and said this class has been fun to teach.
"These have been great kids," Wey said. "They are true fifth-graders in every sense of the word. They're so much fun to teach."
Recently, he recalled, one of his students talked to him about the discipline in their classroom.
"She said, 'Mr. Wey, you don't really ever give any of us any levels,'" Wey said. "If a student needs disciplinary action we put them on a different level. I don't here. I don't have to do that because they're just good kids. We just haven't had disciplinary problems."
His class held a special surprise party Jan. 31 which was his last day in class. When he entered the room they yelled "surprise" and went on to dance to the song "The Fox." Wey was smiling ear to year when he saw how excited his students were for his opportunity to play for Indy Eleven.

The numbers are startling: more than 4,500 seniors daily rely on Meals on Wheels program in the Greater Houston area for nutritious meals but also human contact.
Despite the booming Houston area economy the number in need is growing daily. Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston says their program currently has a waiting list of more than 700 additional seniors.
The Federal sequestration has meant a reduction in their funding at a time when they are seeing a record demand for their services.
To raise awareness of the issue Houston Mayor Annise Parker loaded up in a Meals on Wheels truck and went door to door to deliver a hot and nutritious meal to Houstonians Seniors in need.
Luroine Gardner, who will be 97 next month says the food is good and she enjoys visiting with the volunteers from Meals on Wheels. She says she only gets out of the house once a week to go to church so the daily visits are enjoyable.
Mayor Annise Parker says the service does way more than just provide nutritional meals to home bound seniors. "It is about making sure our seniors have enough nutritious food but it's also a life line and a social connection," says Mayor Parker.
Mayor Parker says thousands of Houstonians are in the same situation, "Meals on Wheels needs donations and Meals on Wheels need volunteers." Mayor Parker added " we, also want to make sure we leave nobody behind that needs our services."
If you would like to volunteer a day or two you can get more information you can check out the website of Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston.

I've ordered my first pair of TOMS today. I'll have them by next weekend, probably, or maybe not since it is easter now…
I asked you guys if I should order them in red or in tie dye blue, but the store got them in in an other color yesterday, and I fould that color more "me" and wearable.
I'm so exited to see how TOMS fit, and how good they are to walk in. I'll post a pic as soon as I can, after I get them.

Wicked video about The Skog of all Lande
I love how he chirps at players during the game, the way he plays, the way he commits to hits and how he continually talks to his players. He seems like the kinda player that keeps his team in games, and really pisses off the opponent and throws them off of theirs. His goals ain't pretty, but he scores in the dirty areas and his board play is phenominal. Everything the Avalanche need. I'm not sure when this video was made but the Avalanche were 21-15...so.... a loooong time ago. :)

Fans may already know that Zuffa (and by proxy, the UFC) are one of the most aggressive pursuers of digital piracy and digital copyright legislation. They have sued bars and websites that host illegal streams and are actively searching during every live broadcast of their events to shut down digital piracy as it happens. Recently they've moved to a new tactic, which uses outside consultants to file mass Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) claims against URLs which they determine to be hosting Zuffa owned content. It's a broad-brush approach that has resulted in the takedown of over half a million URLS. Unfortunately such a sweeping approach has resulted in some broad implications as well. The tech/torrent news site Torrent Freak explains:
While the above is an example of a highly targeted takedown (very specific URLs containing torrents to the actual infringing content) there is a growing trend at anti-piracy companies to employ a carpet-bombing mentality, rather sending in the required precision strike.
The terrible results of this broad brush approach can be seen in this very embarrassing notice sent by Zuffa / IP Arrow to Google on August 14. As can be seen from the screenshot, Zuffa is claiming that some pretty awful content is their property, and (worst still) the original copies can be found at UFC.com, which they obviously can't.
So how is this needless embarrassment being caused? No prizes if you guessed "automated crawlers."
Instead of pinpointing specific pages carrying UFC torrents for example, the crawlers will target any other pages (even those created dynamically by search engines) that link to them, meaning that the generated DMCA notices deindex hundreds of other items that have nothing to do with the specific rightsholder. This, while often leaving the actual torrent page intact.
For example, this DMCA notice sent by Zuffa targets many URLs which initially appear to have nothing to do with UFC content. We've highlighted just one as an example.
On closer inspection the X Factor page has a section at the bottom titled "related torrents". Sure enough, links to other pages that carry UFC content are listed. Instead of taking those down though, Zuffa's anti-piracy company shot the messenger instead.
What do you think? Is the UFC straying into murky water here with their blanket claims of content ownership, or is this just another necessary (if embarrassing) measure in the long battle to stamp out digital theft?

Can DirecTV Continue to Surge Higher?
With shares of DirecTV (NASDAQ:DTV) trading around $75, is DTV an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
DirecTV provides digital television entertainment in the United States and Latin America. The company engages in acquiring, promoting, selling, and distributing digital entertainment programming primarily through satellite to residential and commercial subscribers. A rising number of consumers are opting for satellite services due to the reduced costs and increased coverage offered. DirecTV is poised to capitalize on the increased entertainment demand from consumers in the United States and Latin America.
DirecTV CEO Mike White has said that the upcoming merger between Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) needs to be closely observed by regulators, though DirecTV isn't sure what stand it will take on the huge consolidation. "Certainly, if the deal is approved as proposed, it clearly represents an unprecedented media concentration in one company. I guess I think the challenge in terms of what posture we take in Washington, D.C., we haven't decided yet. But I think one of the challenges is to try and ensure that it is appropriately scrutinized in some kind of unique ways than you might traditionally look at," White said during a conference call after DirecTV posted its fourth-quarter results. "I think it certainly creates some significant changes in the competitive landscape that we need to think hard about."
DirecTV's fourth-quarter results showed that the company had 38 million satellite TV subscribers at the end of 2013. Full-year revenue rose 7 percent to $32 billion and profit grew 8 percent to $8.1 billion. Last week, Comcast, the largest cable provider in the country, announced its intention to buy Time Warner Cable. If that deal is allowed by regulators to pass, it will give Comcast 30 million subscribers, or 30 percent of the pay-TV market, and a presence in 19 out of 20 markets in the United States. The new Comcast will be far and away the dominant company in both cable and broadband Internet service in the U.S., which has led many to worry about the effect such a monopoly could have on consumers.

Defense Acquisitions:
Results of Annual Assessment of DOD Weapon Programs
GAO-08-674T: Published: Apr 29, 2008. Publicly Released: Apr 29, 2008.

DOD's investment in weapon systems represents one of the largest discretionary items in the budget. The department expects to invest about $900 billion (fiscal year 2008 dollars) over the next 5 years on development and procurement with more than $335 billion invested specifically in major defense acquisition programs. Every dollar spent inefficiently in acquiring weapon systems is less money available for other budget priorities--such as the global war on terror and growing entitlement programs. This testimony focuses on (1) the overall performance of DOD's weapon system investment portfolio; (2) our assessment of 72 weapon programs against best practices standards for successful product developments; and (3) potential solutions and recent DOD actions to improve weapon program outcomes. It is based on GAO-08-467SP, which included our analysis of broad trends in the performance of the programs in DOD's weapon acquisition portfolio and our assessment of 72 defense programs, and recommendations made in past GAO reports. DOD was provided a draft of GAO-08-467SP and had no comments on the overall report, but did provide technical comments on individual assessments. The comments, along with the agency comments received on the individual assessments, were included as appropriate.
We recently released our sixth annual assessment of selected DOD weapon programs. The assessment indicates that cost and schedule outcomes for major weapon programs are not improving. Although well-conceived acquisition policy changes occurred in 2003 that reflect many best practices we have reported on in the past, these policy changes have not yet translated into practice at the program level. None of the weapon programs we assessed this year had proceeded through system development meeting the best practices standards for mature technologies, stable design, and mature production processes--all prerequisites for achieving planned cost, schedule, and performance outcomes. In addition, only a small percentage of programs used two key systems engineering tools--preliminary design reviews and prototypes to demonstrate the maturity of the product's design by critical junctures. This lack of disciplined systems engineering affects DOD's ability to develop sound, executable business cases for programs. Our work shows that acquisition problems will likely persist until DOD provides a better foundation for buying the right things, the right way. This involves making tough decisions as to which programs should be pursued, and more importantly, not pursued; making sure programs are executable; locking in requirements before programs are ever started; and making it clear who is responsible for what and holding people accountable when responsibilities are not fulfilled. Moreover, the environment and incentives that lead DOD and the military services to overpromise on capability and underestimate costs in order to sell new programs and capture funding will need to change. Based in part on GAO recommendations and congressional direction, DOD has begun several initiatives that, if adopted and implemented properly, could provide a foundation for establishing sound, knowledge-based business cases for individual acquisition programs and improving outcomes.

Importance of Blogs
Blogging and Content Syndication
It wasn't that long ago that reciprocal links and link building were considered the key components to a successful off-site SEO program. While links still play an important role in search engine optimization, content syndication and social networking also play a significant part of the process.
Traditionally one of the best ways to syndicate your content is by blogging, specifically by using a WordPress blog. While we use WordPress blogs on many of our sites we are now also including the same type of content syndication within the framework of our web sites. The benefit of using this method is that we don't have to build a WordPress template that matches the main site or utilize a completely different template from the main site.
The CORE360 Agent web sites have a built in syndication component. Every time you add content to your site it syndicates that content the same way a standard blog syndicates content!
The Importance of Blogging
Blogging and content syndication is an extremely important process of the web marketing process.
- Syndicated articles will result in traffic and links to your web site.
- Blogging keeps your web site visitors informed of the latest news and events of you, your company, your industry, and your local market.
- Blogging is generally more informal than traditional web site content. It allows your web site visitors to get to know your personality and your knowledge.
- On the web sites that we design for our clients blogging is another way to syndicate your web listings throughout the internet.
What Should I Blog About?
Most agents seem to draw a blank when they sit down to post a blog article. What should they blog about. The answer is actually very simple:
Blog about any topics that would be of interest to your ideal buyer or seller client.
For example, you could blog about basic items like your latest listings, reduced prices on a listing, your latest sale, or the current state of your local real estate market. All of those things are good, but they aren't neccessarily topics that make your web site visitors want to do business with you over the hundreds of other agents in your market.
You also have to think about what is important to the potential buyer, espeecially those not familiar with the area. Most of your articles should be about what it's like to live, work, and play in your area. For example, when the latest school test scores come out post a summary of the results and then include links to your property listings in some of the better school districts. Is there an annual event that brings a lot of potential buyers to your market? Blog about that.
Potential buyers that don't currently live in your area really need your help in getting to know the area, and that's where your blog can help them. Write an in depth article about one of the local residential communities, complete with photos and video. Write about what it would be like to live in that community. Write about the clubhouse, community pool, or golf course. Write about the schools in the area, the recreation facilities, restaurants, shopping, or best routes to take to avoid traffic.
Blogging about the details of the area help to brand you as the local community expert.
I Don't Have Time to Blog!
Nonsense! No matter how busy you are you can take 15-20 minutes a week to post one or two items to your blog. Ideally we suggest that you make 3 to 4 blog posts a week and include links to related items on other pages of your web site as well as links to other web sites as needed.
Blogging should not be considered an optional task. It should be an integral part of your overall marketing campaign.

When President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev met in Prague to sign a new agreement on nuclear weapons, it marked one more step in the religious community's long campaign to reduce, if not end, the threat of nuclear war.
The Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, aims to reduce each country's deployed strategic warheads to about 1,550 each, and cut the number of launchers from the currently permitted 1,600 to 800. It also would cap nuclear-armed missiles and bombers.
For Christian denominations both at home and abroad, it represents a major victory in a campaign that has waxed and waned since the first atomic bombs were dropped at the end of World War II.
On Aug. 20, 1945, just days after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Protestant leaders issued a statement expressing their "unmitigated condemnation" of the attacks.
Less than a year later, a commission that included theologians Reinhold Niebuhr and John C. Bennett issued a report that declared, "We have sinned grievously against the laws of God" in using nuclear weapons.
But as David Cortright, director of policy studies at the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies at the University of Notre Dame, has noted, an ambivalence marked Christians' responses to the bomb over time.
"As the Cold War intensified in the late 1940s, some of those who had greeted the bomb with horror now came to accept it as a necessary deterrent against godless communism and the perceived threat of totalitarian aggression," he wrote in the Spring 2009 issue of Yale Divinity School's journal Reflections.
The 1980s saw a resurgence of religious and secular anti-nuclear campaigns, including the Catholic bishops' 1983 pastoral letter, "The Challenge of Peace," and organizing by the evangelical social justice group Sojourners. The National Association of Evangelicals joined the push later in the 1980s.
More recently, the so-called "new evangelicals" have organized the Two Futures Project, a movement that calls for the abolition of all nuclear weapons.
The Catholic bishops' 1983 letter put the nation's largest religious community squarely in the midst of the public debate over the Reagan administration's nuclear arms policies. The bishops endorsed a "no-first-use" declaration by the United States and voiced support for a comprehensive test ban treaty, both of which continue to be sticky issues in arms-control debates.
The bishops, though, supported continuing the policy of deterrence even while making their approval "strictly conditional" and "a step on the way to progressive disarmament."
U.S. Protestant denominations and international bodies such as the World Council of Churches, however, pushed beyond the Catholic bishops to hold up an abolitionist vision of a world without nuclear weapons.
In 1986, United Methodist bishops published their own pastoral statement, "In Defense of Creation," which forthrightly rejected deterrence and said the doctrine "must no longer receive the church's blessing." Presbyterians also have a long history of opposition to the nuclear arms race, stretching back to 1946.
On the international level, both the WCC and the Vatican, under a succession of popes, have been outspoken opponents of the arms race and any use of nuclear weapons. Pope John Paul II edged the Catholic Church close to pacifism, declaring there are next to no conditions in a nuclear age that justify nations going to war with one another.
It is a vision the churches keep before them.
"The moral end is clear: a world free of the threat of nuclear weapons," Archbishop Edwin O'Brien of Baltimore told the Global Zero Summit in February.

…but you already knew that.
And as any supporter of newly minted President Obama will tell you, change is good. But if you take a visit to the nitchblog, these days, a keen eye might notice that I'm kinda falling behind the times. How do you follow me on Twitter? Where's my facebook Connect plugin? Why is the site ugly? Ok, that last one isn't exactly media-related, but you get the idea.
The nitchblog has fallen behind the times. An out-of-date version of WordPress, no distinguishable personal brand, a lack of useful plugins and opportunities to connect and discuss. The neglect is palpable. However, the biggest issue with my neglect is that nitch is all about targeting and connecting with specialized audiences, and my own poor blog maintenance has compromised my ability to do that.
So call it a new years resolution, call it what you will, but I'm fixing it. All of it. And when nitch.ca relaunches shortly (I've learned its never good to put specific timelines on these things) it's going to be bigger and better than ever! In addition, the site will now become the true home of my consulting business to help connect content and consumers and will sport a pervasive personal/company brand you can look for whenever you find me on the net.
In addition, the nitchblog will be back and better than ever! In the future, I'll hopefully even be able to expand the depth and breadth of content available here. One step at a time. For now, please sit tight while I put on my programmer hat (a look I'm not yet sure I can pull off) and rip this baby apart at the seams.
To recap. Things to look forward to:
It should be noted that I have no control over that last one.
Looking forward to inviting everyone back to see the renovations shortly!

Eastern Iowa's highways have been very busy already as the Memorial Day weekend kicks off.
The good news?
The weather is supposed to be pretty good for drivers.
The not-so-good news?
You might have a better chance of getting a speeding ticket this weekend.
There's a special traffic enforcement project on Iowa's highways this weekend.
That pays for more city police, sheriff's deputies and Iowa State Patrol troopers to patrol the roads looking for traffic violations.
AAA expects a record 36 million people around the country to travel with 9 out of 10 traveling by car. That's about 2% more than last Memorial Day weekend.
It's also the third straight year gas prices have been relatively low.
Troopers say the extra patrols will continue through Monday.
They're asking people to stay safe and drive responsibly but they will be on the lookout for traffic violations and dangerous drivers.
"Impaired drivers will be the main thing. Any traffic offenses, excessive speed, seat belts, basically anything, we're looking for," said Sgt. Brian Beenen of the Iowa State Patrol.
Sergeant Beenen says remember to slow down in construction zones.
Some areas like I-380 near San Marnan Drive in Waterloo will still have lane closures this weekend.
There will also be added enforcement this weekend on the waterways.
The Iowa DNR will be looking for drunk boaters and people not wearing their life jackets on area lakes and rivers
The skies will be busy as well.
Even with higher airfares, the airlines are expecting full planes all weekend.

Amarillo, TX - A growing crime in our area is placing residents at risk.
The cold weather has people heating up their cars while they wait inside.
Amarillo Police say 79 vehicles were stolen in January alone, an increase over last year.
Officers say they've seen cars stolen right in front of day cares, where children have been taken with the car.
Typically once the thief realizes there's a kid in the back seat, they don't want to be connected to that crime.
The bad part is that they will just drop the car off anywhere.
It's not uncommon for a thief to steal a car from one area, drive it around for a few hours, drop it off somewhere else and then steal another one.
Police say sometimes those cars are used to commit crimes.
Although the car is often recovered within a few days, it doesn't mean they are in the same shape.
We're told that sometimes they've been wrecked, burned, trashed on the inside and parts have been stolen.

How Plaque Disclosing Tablets Can Help You Brush Better
Would you vacuum your carpet if it didn't look dirty? Probably not.
Unfortunately, many people look in the mirror and don't see anything on their teeth so they assume that their teeth are clean. If only they knew the truth!
There are millions of bacteria that live in our mouths and cling to our teeth. You can read more about dental plaque here. The problem is that plaque is very hard to see for the untrained eye.
Luckily, there are products such as plaque disclosing tablets and plaque disclosing solutions. This is a type of dye that adheres to plaque in your mouth allowing you to easily visualize it - and remove it.
If you see plaque on your teeth, you will want to remove it! Once you have used plaque disclosing tablets and/or solution a few times, you will figure out where the plaque tends to hide in your mouth, thus increasing your brushing efficiency.
Our Plaque Disclosing Experiment
A few days ago, my wife and I didn't brush all day. At the end of the day, we took pictures of our teeth, and then chewed a plaque disclosing tablet and took another set of pictures. Here's a photo montage showing how our teeth looked:
My wife didn't rinse out as well as me, so only the very dark pink areas are plaque on her teeth. Also, we don't usually smile like this...we were trying to show more of our teeth for the picture
Where Most Plaque Lives On Teeth
As you can probably tell, most plaque accumulates between our teeth. The area between our teeth is an area where plaque are less likely to be swept away by our tongue when chewing or by our toothbrush when we brush. The best way to remove the plaque between our teeth is by flossing.
To the right is a close-up of one of my upper pre-molars, clearly showing all of the plaque living between my teeth. Pretty gross, right?
Where to Get Plaque Disclosing Tablets
Do you want to find out where the plaque is on your teeth? Or do you need help motivating your toddler to brush? Try showing him or her where the "bugs" are living on their teeth. Actually seeing the plaque will motivate children and adults alike.
You can find plaque disclosing tablets at most local pharmacies.
If you're into buying things online, here are a few options from Amazon:
1 - Butler GUM Red-cote Dental Disclosing Tablets Pack of 250 tablets - Name brand chewable tablets.
2 - Young Dental 2 Tone Disclosing Tablets Pack of 40 - Great chewable tablets.
3 - Young Dental 2 Tone Disclosing Tablets Pack of 250 - Large pack of chewable tablets.
4 - Young Dental 2 Tone Disclosing Solution 2 Fl Oz [Pictured] - This is the same liquid that most dentists and hygienists use. You can easily swab it onto your (or your child's) teeth with a q-tip to find out where the plaque is lurking.
Do you have any questions or comments about plaque disclosing tablets or solution? Feel free to leave them below in the comments section. Thanks for reading!
I recently updated the website and it reset all of the sharing counters to 0. If you found this post helpful, please like, tweet, or +1 it. Thanks!

I remember chewing these at my dentist's office when I was younger. A lady would take me into a side room and show me the big model of teeth and teach me how to brush. Then, I would chew up the pink tablet and she would have me look in the mirror at the pink on my teeth. Then, I tried to get it all off!
I didn't know you could buy them - I thought only dentists could get them. I think they would be great for my kids in the future so they can learn how to brush.
My name is McKayla and I am in the 9th grade and my friend and I are doing a science night project on plaque on the average humans tooth do you have any suggestions on how we will be able to see what it is made of or how it is made? Please if you can help, Thank you it will be much appreciated!!!!!!!!
-McKayla Pollack
I used some disclosing tablets today and my teeth were pretty much fine apart from a few areas between a few teeth...however the entire inside of my mouth (cheeks, gums, tongue) are bright purple.
My husband did the same, but although his teeth were bad, the solution didnt adhere to his flesh like it did with me.
Does this mean I have plaque on my flesh - is this possible, or am I just prone to skin staining?
Not so important. Plaque puts out a very small film of acid, which directly touches the calcium of teeth, protected from being washed way by this bushy jungle. Cheeks are like the tongue that they do not form plaque of depth (living and growing, it sheds very quickly and has anti bacterial bodies), but unlike the tongue it has a smooth surface, so can not nearly as easily hide food particles which spread sustainance for the bacteria producing plaque on the teeth.
So I have heard. Hope it helps.
And it is that plaque that lasts more than two weeks that does the dirty work. Cheek cells have swarms of bacteria, by far the most outside of our solid disposal system, but you get the idea. It is the colonies on teeth that make the difference, and so many are in the mouth at one time it is hopeless to try to stop it by clean cheeks. However, some say it does help to eat plain yogurt at the end of a meal. Yes, you brush, but the yogurt bacteria culture is much less harmful than sugar and oxygen hating cultures. Better to build up colonies of those, instead. These colonies form in everyone's mouth within hours if not minutes anyway.
I never even knew these existed! LOL. This will make it very easy to motivate my toddlers to brush. Thanks again!
The white coating on top surface of my tongue is biofilm, does it form on all of the tissues in my mouth?
My son has been using these and they're great at showing where the plaque is on his teeth. But he has new areas every brushing that get stained and we can't get the stain off except for some serious, almost painful scrubbing (and it was clean the night or morning before when we last used them). Do some people simply have stickier plaque than others? He's frustrated to tears that he can't get them clean himself (he's almost 8), and even my husband and I have a hard time getting his teeth clean. I'll take any advice I can get to help him!!!
