There are a couple of players on the Cowboys who have been hotly debated over the past months. The merits of men like Marion Barber III, Martellus Bennett, Alan Ball and Mike Hamlin have been talked about for some time now. These are show-me players, players who need to show the fans something in the upcoming season.
A player can be a show-me player for a multitude of reasons, he me be coming back from injuries like Barber, or maybe he underperformed like Bennett. They could be younger guys who need to step up their game to fill a need like Doug Free, Ball or Hamlin. Either way, they are players who, if they don't produce on the field in 2010, may be wearing a different uniform in 2011. Here are some guys who I think qualify as players who need to step-up or step out.
Marion Barber III – Injuries have slowed down The Barbarian. Last year he was a respectable back – unfortunately he's being paid as a premiere back. Trade rumors have swirled around Barber and fan reaction on BTB has been mixed to those rumors. With Choice and Felix waiting in the wings, Barber will have to return to his Barbarian ways in order to justify his contract numbers (2011: $4.25M, 2012: $5.75M, 2013: $6.25M, 2014: $7M).
Martellus Bennett – Bennett has all the talent in the world. He's the Cowboy's version of Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh, right down to the "million dollar arm with a 10 cent head". Bennett will become a free agent in 2012, so if he doesn't outperform unheralded John Phillips, the Cowboys may be forced to see what trade value Bennett has.
Roy E. Williams - This is probably Roy's last chance to win over fans in Dallas. His contract numbers simply don't match his production, which means he'll have little to no trade value. If Roy wants to stay a Cowboy beyond 2010 he has to prove he can be the perfect Robin to Miles Austin's Batman.
Bobby Carpenter – A favorite whipping boy for many fans, Carp has a role in the defense. However, he has never fully lived up to his first-round status. Carp will be paid $1.19M this year but will be a FA in 2011. If he wants to remain a Cowboy, he'll need to push starters Keith Brooking and Bradie James for playing time, and hold off second year player Jason Williams.
Alan Ball – Ball has managed to be a player who has stuck around on the depth chart for many years with the Cowboys. He offers versatility as a CB/S combo. He stepped in for an injured Ken Hamlin last year and didn't embarrass himself. Ball will be a RFA in 2011 and needs to show he's ready to be the playmaking safety the Cowboys covet, or risk being used as trade bait next year.
Marcus Spears/Jason Hatcher/Stephen Bowen – All three of these players will play under a one-year contract. At least one needs to step-up and prove they can handle the starting job. I'm sure the Cowboys would love for either Jason Hatcher or Stephen Bowen (who will be cheaper on the open market) to prove capable of the starting role.
Pat Watkins – Similar player to Ball in that he has been on the depth chart for years. Has some experience as a starter, but has yet to live up to his impressive size/speed ratio. He signed a one-year $1.176M contract for 2010.
Orlando Scandrick – Scrandrick is under contract until 2012. But I'm sure he and his agent will want an extension before then. Scandrick showed great promise as a rookie, but hit a sophomore slump. Has played well at times, and he considers himself to be a starting caliber corner. He'll need to prove himself again in 2010 to make the Cowboys fans comfortable with the idea of Scandrick replacing an aging TNew.
Doug Free – Ah, the Free debate. Are you comfortable with Free at LT? RT? Or is he simply a good backup? 2010 will be a big year for Free, especially considering he's in the last year of his current contract. Doug Free will be playing for a big-money contract this year.
Kyle Kosier – Kosier is in the final year of his contract, earning $2.99M this year. Long thought the weak link on the line, his injury – and subsequent drop-off in line play – thrust some doubt onto that argument. Kosier will turn 32 in November and depth behind him is a concern. Will Kosier play well enough to earn a second contract from the 'Boys?
Mike Hamlin – Hamlin is a player many fans are looking to replace recently departed Ken Hamlin. Hamlin's injury last year makes him hard to evaluate on the NFL level. However, Hamlin has an excellent opportunity to cement himself as a fixture in the Dallas secondary in 2010.
There are several players on this roster who have something to prove in 2010. And with a new draft class arriving in Dallas in just a few short days, the opportunities to prove they belong on this roster may become even more limited.
[Note: I'm operating under the assumption there will be football in 2011, as well as a new CBA agreement that includes a salary cap.]

Almost every team in every sport has a defensive specialist "" somebody who chooses to embrace the challenge of stopping the other team's best scorer.
They work as hard as anybody on the team, but often their individual performances become an afterthought, lost in the media frenzy of scoring plays "" dunks, goals, kills, runs.
Lainey Gera is that somebody for UCLA women's volleyball. As libero, she plays only in the back row and cannot attack the ball if it's above the net. Her stat sheet boasts mainly digs and assists "" nothing that would be deemed a top-10 play by SportsCenter, and she loves it.
"The libero position is kind of a selfless position. You don't get credit for everything you do. … You're the one that starts the play and you're the one that kind of does everything for everyone else, but you can never finish the play," Gera said.
Coach Mike Sealy summed up the libero position and, specifically, Gera's importance with a smile: "It lets you keep all the other big dummies on the court."
"Sometimes it gets frustrating but I love what I do, and I love being able to supply some of the stuff I can for the other girls and have them be able to do what they're doing," Gera said.
Gera's family life helped develop this selfless attitude and team mentality. Both her sisters, two and three years her senior, played volleyball at Fresno State University for four years, and Gera was exposed to the sport at a young age.
"I started playing when I was around 8," Gera said. "I was still in my soccer stage when my sister started playing (volleyball) and I started going to all her games."
Gera began playing regularly with her sisters from that point on and learned as much as she could. Her second oldest sister Lacey was an outside hitter, and her oldest sister Lisa was a setter.
"We always used to go in the front yard and pepper, and she'd always be telling me what to do and I used to get so mad at her, but she was always right so I watched her and listened to her," Gera said.
Gera played club volleyball with her sisters and also played with Lacey at Archbishop Mitty High School for one year.
According to Gera, a factor in her development as a player and her knowledge of the game was that her sisters were both different positions and had different perspectives to give advice from. She could hear from Lacey, an outside hitter, how she should pass, and her sister Lisa offered a setter's viewpoint.
"They would always tell me their own stories. We all fed off each other because we were all different positions. Whenever they would get frustrated about stuff I would tell them why it's hard for that certain position, or they would tell me, "˜You need to be helping this person out because that's how I like things.' We fed off each other. It wasn't like they were always telling me stuff "" we were more unified about it."
Gera said when it was time for her to graduate high school, Fresno State's volleyball coach approached her about playing for them, but she decided to go in another direction.
"Both my sisters went to Fresno State, which is a really cool school, but didn't really fit me. I wanted to do something different and not follow them all the time "" that's how my whole life kinda was, following behind them, so I branched out from what they were doing."
Her defensive skill and energy spoke for themselves, and Gera found herself playing important minutes in her first year on the team.
"My freshman season was awesome, because I had no expectations of playing or anything. I was ready to book all my flights to go home on the weekend because I was so homesick. But I ended up traveling the first tournament to Hawaii and actually playing. The seniors on that team were so awesome, and they helped me out a lot," Gera said.
Gera's humility is truly impressive when you take a look at her stats. The senior is third all-time in UCLA's record books with 1,394 digs and averaged 4.92 digs per set last season. A benefactor of those digs for two years has been junior outside hitter Rachael Kidder.
"The libero is very important to our team. She starts off every play, and people hit a lot of balls at her," Kidder said. "She basically covers the whole court by herself."
Now a senior, Gera reflects on what advice she would give to herself as a freshman.
"Don't be afraid to be yourself. When you're a freshman you're really scared, and you're timid because you're worried about "˜Oh my God, the seniors are going to hate me if I'm myself.' I think you should be who you are."
Developing an identity has been important for the team this year, and that identity is growing every game. The team's passing and defense were huge in its sweep of USC last week, and it will continue to be central to the team's success. Gera is a big part of that defense.
"They've done studies internationally, and after the two left side hitters, the libero is the most important spot. She does all the garbage and takes care of all the ball control to let the big hitters not have to worry about it," Sealy said.
Kidder cited Gera's attitude as inspirational and an invaluable member of the team.
"She's really confident and she's a great leader "" she knows how to communicate with her teammates. She makes me want to be a better player," Kidder said.
She may not care about stats, but that doesn't make her a slouch.
In describing her goals for this season, Gera answered frankly.
"Winning "" winning the Pac-12 and bringing home a national championship. I think it'd be really great to be my senior year and go out big and know I left something behind."

Function of Extension springs in your garage doors?
Having constructed home for the first time is not enough as its maintenance is also necessary. Home maintenance can be of any type. For instance, if we talk on the subject of the maintenance of the home garage then there are so many things that are significant from the maintenance point of view and one among them is the door. Extension springs in the garage doors are supposed to be risk prone and damage prone. This is so because it is the only part that takes up lot of tension and if Extension springs are handled improperly and carelessly, then it may lead to severe injury.
However, when you are repairing the garage door, you need to confirm regarding the type of the Extension springs that you are going to replace. These are independent types of springs that run analogous to the track and hence it helps the door to be roused from the lower side. Contraction and expansion of the Extension springs depends on the movement of the door. If the door is in the up side, contraction occurs and if it is in the down side, expansion occurs. There is a need to have C-clamps in case of the repairing of these springs. Apart from it, socket wrench, ladders etc are required.
How Social Bookmarking Software act as a Back linking Method?
The whole SEO travels towards the back links, the SERPS relates to the content that an be shared professionally to the three categories social media, social networking and the social bookmarking options. Once the user places the keyword in the box the search engine generates the results according to the links and the higher rankings of the website.

text messaging software
In many ways text message marketing and marketing via email are very similar. With both types of selling you ask your clients to give you their contact details so you may industry to them straight. Both also work on the marketing assumption that "the cash is in the record."
Building an email and text marketing record of your best clients is a way not to throw away cash on marketing by launching a wide net and expecting your clients see it. With a record you industry to those clients who want to get provides from you, have already invested cash with text messaging software you and in most cases are most likely to reply favorably to your provides.
The assumption that each is designed on, making a record and marketing to them, is about as close as text message marketing and marketing via email gets. There are quite a few wide variations that effect the payoff prices, capability to carry immediate revenue, and study prices.
Fewer than 20% of information are started out. Within 15 moments of delivering a text boost, over 95% of your members will have study the content. Think to yourself, whenever your cell phone beeps, how long does it take you to study the writing message?
Customers can indication up at at any time to your cellular strategy. The proactive approach is easily incorporated into create, stereo, tv, in store signs and online programs such as Tweets, Facebook or myspace, Howl, Search engines Local Search. They simply text your keyword and key phrase to the shortcode. With email signups the client has to be on your website and get into their current email deal with or complete a form in your company. The convenience to build a large record is much faster with SMS than email.
With text message marketing, you have the capability to increase revenue the same day your message is sent. Often new revenue can be in your entrance in under an hour or even industry to clients already in your company. New sms information are study in a normal of 14 moments while the common here we are at someone to study an email is 6.4 hours. In addition, unless your clients have web-enabled mobile phones, which only 14% do, they will have to delay until they are in front of a computer to study it, then create out the offer to carry it in to get it. With text marketing, the client just has to show the writing to the company to get.

Albany-- Dougherty County School bus drivers say they're complaints continue to be ignored.
Their dissatisfaction with the school system first came to light last year after several drivers walked off the job in response to a change in the way they're paid.
They put more complaints on paper and thought there would be some resolution at Monday night's board meeting. Board members say changes will come gradually.
Another school board meeting ended Monday night with still no satisfaction for Dougherty County school bus drivers.
"I didn't get anything out of the meeting concerning the bus drivers," said Mary Richardson.
Mary Richardson has about 25 years with the school system under her belt. She wants the remainder of her time as an employee to be more enjoyable. "We need to be treated fair just like anyone else in the school system," said Richardson.
That's why she and several other drivers banded together to make their issues clear to school board members. "Buses aren't qualified to be on the road. The buses breaking down all the time, buses overcrowded," said Richardson.
Along with safety, pay was also another big issue. For months now they've been asking for something to be done.
"They promise us one thing and do another one and that's not fair," said Richardson. Richardson thought those issues would be thoroughly discussed at the school board meeting. "And it did not happen," said Richardson.
Instead they were presented with a report of their complaints already on record and another promise that the complaints will be addressed. School board member David Maschke says changes are already taking place.
"The Newton Road mechanic shop has been closed and those mechanics have been moved over to Turner Road so we're operating out of a single facility. The school board has already retained a consultant to write a new driver manual which will be shortly distributed to all bus drivers and the mechanics," said Maschke.
He says there have also been changes in bookkeeping and there's a new grievance process and a new bus driver committee. But bus drivers say problems remain unchanged.
"They say they're fixing them but all I hear on the radio is somebody breaking down, somebody can't crank. I got on my bus this morning and several buses couldn't crank up this morning. Some broke down during the day," said Richardson.
Richardson says drivers will continue to work with board members and push them to make positive changes before next school year. The Transportation Committee says Superintendent Sally Whatley will continue to address some of the bus driver's complaints.

Rock and Roll comes to the aid of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley once again.
SIMI VALLEY, CA…. After hearing about the financial difficulties the Free Clinic of Simi Valley, Midnight Entertainment Group chose them as the beneficiary of their upcoming concert "Rock-n-Roll Attitude" Summer Concert Series II" set for August 21st to help raise funds for the clinic, and awareness for original music. In cooperation with business sponsors, items have been donated and will be raffled to help the free clinic.
The second of four events will take place at The Arena Sports Bar and Grill located near the Grand Vista Hotel at 999 Enchanted Way, Simi Valley, CA 93065 on August 21st at 7p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door. Discounts are available with a band flyer and all ages until 11pm. Five featured acts of all original music from THE CONSTANT, MARY CARVES THE CHICKEN, FORTUNE, TUESDAY'S RAIN, and special guests ED HILLHOUSE AND THE BACK TALKERS.
The Free Clinic of Simi Valley has provided continuous service since its establishment in 1971 as a non-profit, volunteer-based community service organization. The mission of the Free Clinic of Simi Valley is to provide medical care, counseling, dental and legal assistance to individuals and families, regardless of their ability to pay. This includes those of all ages, ethnicities, religions and socio-economic backgrounds, who are unable to use traditional sources within the community. In 2009 alone, the Free Clinic of Simi Valley saw 11,762 patients, the most in our 38 year history To treat all of the patients they need an annual budget of at least $375,000 So far this year they have only raised $144,015, less than half of the amount needed to operate the clinic They solely on donations from foundations and individuals; no tax dollars go to support the Free Clinic of Simi Valley The waiting list alone in the dental clinic is over 600 persons, the emergency list is endless on a daily basis. Every medical night hundreds line up for medical help. The demand is over whelming. "MEG hopes to do its part in actively fundraising for the clinic to keep this valuable asset in this community functioning" states Cherie Whitaker, local promoter with MEG and long time advocate for charitable fundraising with a special concern for the Free Clinic.
Midnight Entertainment Group is booking shows to promote "original talent" and kill the curse of "Pay to Play" for musicians that have nearly destroyed the music for decades. "The time is overdue, to respect musicians for their talents, teach them a new concepts of marketing and work with business to support the economy and give back to charities in need." Bob Hargrove President of Midnight Entertainment Group, and lead singer/guitarist of Tuesday's Rain asserts. Armed with a professional crew, stage set-up, sound, lights and photography, the bands benefit in many ways.
The concept is simple. Hargrove offers businesses the opportunity to work directly with the bands to promote each other. Advertising is done "word of mouth", print, product placement, social and viral media and through street teams. "Now more than ever, people are using the internet to plan their weekend entertainment and search for local merchants, restaurants, and special events with the dawn of such websites as www.SimiValleyNightOut.com, American Town, ILoveSimiValley.com, SimiLive.com and more in my community. Hence the idea is taking off and many local businesses are taking advantage of an innovative way to get their name out there and help those in need simultaneously. It's a win-win for everybody involved." Hargrove reflects. The bands GET PAID from the door, the charity makes money from the raffles and the community has an affordable night out to hear great music of different styles themed by each event. Dan Rosen, local manager for The Arena Sport Bar and Grill, loved the idea and whole-heartedly supported the vision and is currently hosting these showcases of original talent monthly"
If you are interested in making table reservations, supporting this venture, would like to promote your business, donate for the charity raffle, or host an event please contact Midnight Entertainment Group at (805) 300-7827 or (805) 584-1222 email@example.com or on Facebook .

Dotcomedy has been keeping us all entertained, disturbed and often gobsmacked for nearly two years now. But is the Kim Dotcom story a farce or a more sinister thriller? What are his plans for that new political party? What does the timeline about his application for permanent residency reveal? And why does his phone go all funny? Chris Barton has been visiting the weirdest home and the highest courts in the land.

The guard takes my name. Security check. The gate swings open. The winding white gravel driveway passes a "Mega" sign on the grass and ends in a turning circle between two houses — the ground where the helicopter briefly touched down on the day of the raid, kicking up a white mist and pinging stones at the cars. Inside is the only place in this mansion where everything is black and white — black round table, white leather couches, outrageously kitsch black chandelier, a black galley kitchen with 4.5m tropical fish tank splashback, hanging black bowler-hat light shades. The space is a pastiche of pointed gothic arched windows on one side, rounded arches to an adjoining lounge, then French doors to the courtyard.
Kim can't come down, I'm told, but you can go up. Nothing prepares you for the sight at the top of the stairs. The big man is lying on his stomach, semi-propped up on his elbows, his chin resting on a pile of folded black towels, looking at a flat screen at the foot of the bed. The upper half of his torso is clad in his hallmark black garb, the lower half draped in a bright orange towel. Yes, his butt does look quite big in that. He's hurt his foot. Goodness, what happened? He was walking the grounds, he says, lost in his thoughts, and fell over. His face is flushed with beads of sweat. "If I look a bit…" he says, gesturing around his face, "it's because I've just had a hot shower."
In bed with Kim Dotcom. Many in the media, and the odd politician, have been accused of that. I take the chair. According to a October 2012 feature in Wired, this is Dotcom's bed of choice — a handcrafted Hästens from Sweden, a perfect matrix of horsehair, cotton, flax and wool costing around $100,000. It's his "work bed", his office. Computers at the foot of the bed — check. Chromed AK-47 lamps either side — check.
It's a far cry from the 10cm-thick mattress on a concrete slab he had in Mt Eden Prison. Dotcom suffers from back pain and receives regular massages and special treatments — "electric therapy where they put a little electric current through your back".
In prison he was in agony. "I couldn't move at all, was in severe pain with muscle spasms and completely immobilised." He told the guard who came to escort him to a meeting with his lawyers: "Sorry, I can't move." They got him a wheelchair. "But even then, driving me around in that, every bump…"
His lawyers suggested that perhaps they could reach out to Act MP John Banks. The prison was in his Epsom electorate. Banks didn't want to know him.
How did he feel, having given Banks $50,000 for his 2010 Super City mayoral campaign? "That was disappointing. It's not about the money. We became quite close. His wife and my wife got along quite well. They were here playing with my kids. There was a good vibe. He called me his friend."
The Dotcom-ologue: he does it quite often on numerous subjects — the corrupt United States, the corrupt New Zealand government, the dastardly Hollywood conspiracy. Once started, he's unstoppable. "If somebody is a friend of mine, I'm not going to abandon them just because there is an event that might make me look bad. That's a weak character. You know what a real friend is when that person is there for you in your darkest hour."
Money can't buy you friends. A police investigation into the donation — and another for $15,000 from SkyCity casino — found Banks should not have recorded them as anonymous, but the detectives didn't believe they could prove he "knowingly" signed a false return, so didn't lay charges. A private prosecution was then laid against Banks. In a hearing in October — to which Dotcom was summonsed to give evidence — Judge Phil Gittos said sufficient evidence had been presented to send the matter to trial. That particular cabbage boat may yet come down the river.
Dotcom claims his association with Banks doesn't mean his natural political inclination is to the far right. He gave a donation to the person, not the party. "He [Banks] told me that New Zealand needs to open up for the internet economy — that all we do here is grow grass for our cows and sheep. He gave me this whole speech. I was impressed. I know today the guy conned me."
January 20, 2012. Finn Batato awoke to the sound of rotor blades. He wasn't overly concerned. People were flying in by helicopter to the mansion all the time. 6.47am did seem early. He climbed out of bed. The upstairs guest room looked across the estate's manicured grounds to the giraffe and rhinoceros sculptures. Ooh, that's very forceful, he thought, seeing a policeman taking down one of the mansion's security guards in a flying tackle and cuffing him. He wondered what the guard might have done. Drug dealer? Batato shrugged. He was awake now. He may as well start his day.
As Megaupload's marketing and advertising manager, he had emails to deal with. He put on a robe, grabbed his notebook, cigarettes and phone and headed downstairs. It was a beautiful day. There was that nice place behind the house where he and Mathias Ortman sat and worked when they were last here. The house slept as he exited through the back door.
As he strolled into the garden, two men erupted from the hedges, yelling and pointing semi-automatics at his head. That can't be me, thought Batato, turning to look for somebody behind him.
"Are you talking to me?"
"Yes. Put the computer down."
The police cuffed him behind his back. He was charged with copyright infringement, racketeering and other charges he didn't fully comprehend. His mind was spinning. He'd never been arrested or charged with anything in his life.
Around the same time, Ortman, in another of the guest rooms, awoke to a ruckus downstairs, followed by pounding on his door.
"Open the door or we'll break it open!"
Ortman jumped out of bed and opened the door to three men pointing semi-automatics at him. This might, he thought, be an armed robbery — the Coatesville property was, after all, a high- profile location. The gunmen introduced themselves as police.
Bewildered, Ortman was escorted to sit on the lawn beside the house. It was a surreal scene — police running with dogs, handcuffed guards, at one stage five or six gunmen on the roof. A war zone. He was read what seemed bizarre charges — conspiracy to commit copyright infringement. This is a big misunderstanding, he thought. I'll clear this up quickly. He had to. Megaupload was undergoing maintenance at the time and, as chief technical officer, he needed his computer back by the evening to complete the job.
Across town at his Orakei home, Bram van der Kolk's hell was just beginning. The chief programmer had been working until the wee small hours on new website features and was about to go to bed when there was a loud knocking. Huh? Weird time, he thought. He opened the door. Three police officers strode into the house and immediately grabbed his iPhone.
"We have an order from the United States."
There must be some mistake. More police — about 15 — swarmed into the house. His cars were driven away. He was being arrested for money laundering. He had a rough idea what it meant, but always associated it with people selling drugs. Racketeering? The 29-year-old, who'd never been in trouble or arrested before, and never expected to be, had never heard of that.
He was to go with them to the police station.
"Will I go home after that?"
"Just say goodbye to your family."
He kissed his wife, Junelyn, and two-year-old son, Xander, and left. He still didn't realise he was about to be locked up.
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Kim Dotcom sat on the floor, his back against a pillar, in the attic above his bedroom. It's a forlorn space — devoid of all furniture, yet overpowered by a screaming-red carpet. Dotcom retreated there because of the intruder-on-the-property protocol he'd worked out with Wayne Tempero, his head of security. Hearing heavy banging on his bedroom door, Dotcom pressed the emergency button beside his bed that sent a signal to the security guards and Tempero's room. As he entered the secret door and started up the stairway, he heard: "Police, police!"
He paused and decided not to press the button to engage three metal bolts to lock the door firm. There was a terrible hammering. The police were smashing the dumbwaiter to the kitchen with a sledge hammer. They thought Billy Big Steps, as they called him — all two metres and 130kg of him — was hiding inside. Dotcom decided it would be safer to wait upstairs. It took forever.
"I'll show you where he is," said a handcuffed Tempero on the lawn with Ortman, the security guards, a couple of Filipino butlers and Mona Dotcom — 27 weeks pregnant with twins. The team started up the stairs. Unbeknown to them, an armed offenders squad (AOS) member was already inside — gaining access from the roof via a small service door. Unaware of Dotcom sitting behind the pillar, the squad member headed for the gun safe at the other end of the room. There was a key in the lock. As he opened the safe and discovered a shortened pump-action shotgun, the entry team fanned out into the red room. Dotcom had his hands up. He was forcefully pushed face down.
Dotcom was taken downstairs and read the charges. Mona was frantic because the police were keeping her separated from her three children.
"You know my wife is pregnant. Can I just calm her down? I know she must be very scared. If I talk with her and tell her everything is okay she will feel much better."
The police were unmoved.

Who are the people who believe in you? Make your smile? Go out of their way to show that they care? Who makes your days and birthdays special?
This past week was my birthday. It's not necessarily a favorite day of mine, choosing to live in a delusion of about 20 years ago, but thankfully it's still a day of friends showing that they care.
I was out of town at BlogWorldExpo (a GREAT social media conference that I was honored to be speaking at – and fortunately, I spoke on the first day, so I got it over with early!). I returned home today to find a stack of cards filled with birthday wishes from friends and family. I also had a L O N G list of Facebook Birthday wishes from friends over the past decades. (And the day before my birthday, was my friend and the smiley center of the above photo, Glenda's birthday too!)
It's amazing how friends can transport you back through time – how old friends can say just a 'Hey!' and it sounds like you're back in school together or hanging out enjoying time with each other. Amazing. Friends can transport time.
Who of your friends make you feel timeless? Who see your smile without the smile lines? What friends make you feel like you were just together yesterday when it's been years?
Let's be thankful for those friends. Let's be grateful for the girlfriends who keep us ageless and smiling. Let's celebrate the connections that we make that turn into pillars of strength we cling to when times are hard and we need someone to hold us up above the waters of doubt and fear. Let's be thankful for those friends.
Thanks! For being a friend when someone needs you so badly she can't even tell you. Thanks! For reminding us that our friends have faith in us. THANKS! For being a Friend. (And, thanks! For being so kind and thoughtful on my birthday my friends. I am blessed beyond measure!)
Thanks too to the friends at BlogWorldExpo – for the opportunity to speak at this great Social Media / New Media Conference!
This was my 4th BlogWorldExpo and my first opportunity to speak for the event. BlogWorldExpo is a BIG conference, tradeshow and media event based on social media, new media and everything internet. It's a great conference to learn from hundreds of speakers and to learn from thousands of attendees. If you're interested, BlogWorldExpo 2012 will be in NY June 5-7. It's well worth attending if you're interested in or working in the world of social media. Here's what I presented at BlogWorldExpo on 'Building Online Communities.'

I am very pleased to host Silvia Violet for this book blast tour for her new release, "Say Yes." Silvia and I go way back to the early days of ebook publishing. She was brilliant back in the day, and she's only gotten better! Plus we share a common interest in Pinto. *wink*
About Silvia: Silvia Violet writes erotic romance in a variety of genres including paranormal, contemporary, sci fi, and historical. She can be found haunting coffee shops looking for the darkest, strongest cup of coffee she can find. Once equipped with the needed fuel, she can happily sit for hours pounding away at her laptop. Silvia typically leaves home disguised as a suburban stay-at-home-mom, and other coffee shop patrons tend to ask her hilarious questions like "Do you write children's books?" She loves watching the looks on their faces when they learn what she's actually up to. When not writing, Silvia enjoys baking sinfully delicious treats, exploring new styles of cooking, and reading to her incorrigible offspring.

Blurb: Rex Aiken recently started his own business, Grass Fed Texas, supplying organic beef to restaurants and catering companies. When he hosts an event for potential clients at a prestigious hotel in Asheville, the event coordinator, J, impresses him with more than his professional expertise. They indulge in a delicious one night stand, but Rex's taste of J leaves him wanting more. Rex intends to savor J, and he refuses to see the distance between them as an obstacle. He'll do whatever is necessary to convince J to say yes.
Excerpt: "So…um…you're going to do some sightseeing tomorrow?" Jordan asked.
"I am. I haven't been to this area since I was a kid, and it's so beautiful this time of year."
Jordan nodded. He'd picked up a pen and was rubbing the end of it over his full bottom lip. Rex wanted to replace it with his tongue. Jordan put the pen down and flipped through papers in a folder. When he licked the tip of his finger to help him unstick a few pages, Rex had to cover a groan by turning it into a cough.
Jordan glanced at him quickly before closing the file and slipping it into a drawer. "If there's anything in particular you'd like to do, I could help you find the best—"
"I'd like to kiss you." Rex hadn't meant to be so bold, but he'd never been particularly good at restraining himself. His bluntness had served him well in business and almost as well in his attempts to pick up men.
Jordan made a strangled noise and looked up. "Mr. Aiken, I'm not sure that would…um…"
He looked terrified. Rex realized he was doing the same thing to Jordan that Lucy had done to him—putting him in a position where he could easily believe saying no would affect his job.
"I'm sorry. That was out of line. You did me a favor, and you deserve more respect from me."
Jordan's cheeks were now bright red. "I'm not offended, sir. I'm just surprised."

Orlando -- A "far from typical wedding" for a South Georgia couple. A soldier who left the desert of Iraq last week got married Tuesday in an ice castle.
Surrounded by 250 naturally-tuxedoed penguins, Private First Class Trey Johnson and Abby Shealy of Lee County exchanged marriage vows.
The Third Infantry Division soldier is on leave from his second tour in Iraq. Johnson served on the front lines during the invasion.
He and Abby were married in the Penguin Encounter at Seaworld in thirty degree temperatures surrounded by their family and the penguins.
The Minister performing the ceremony said "We have cold feet, as well as our penguin friends and everybody else. But you know what, your hearts are glowing with a burning flame that will never be extinguished. It's an honor and a joy to pronounce you husband and wife. And Trey, you would like to kiss her again, would you."
Trey has to return to Iraq in two weeks, but we are sure that is the last thing on his mind on this day.

It's not hard to form a reading of Merritt's twitter that a trade is being completed or has been completed:
"Additionally, we've been active on player front as I noted last wk. I didn't realize that trades won't be announced until after cup though."
But it's also easy to interpret that the trade may not be very popular:
"keep in mind many moves aren't made in a vacuum. Often other deals are part of the thinking and announcement timing isn't aligned..."
So anyway, very soon after the thug Houston or spoiled L.A. win we may be saying hello/goodbye, perhaps bitterly.

Was this the dirtiest hit of the year so far? You won't find any argument from us here. Watch as Marquel Wade of the Arkansas Razorbacks drills Vanderbilt Commodores punt returner Jonathan Krause before the ball even arrives -- with the crown of his helmet, no less. To make it even worse, he then bounded around gloating about it.
Yes, Wade was ejected for this (video via @cjzero):
The good news is Krause was able to make it to his feet and off the field without too much assistance. He was down on the field for a few moments while Wade hopped on the sidelines. The announcement of his ejection had Vandy's crowd cheering while he huffed and puffed a little bit. Coaches escorted him into the locker room.
Vandy football has gotten notably more intense for all parties involved this year, but this is clearly way, way too far.

Vodafone's just-launched Smart II is touted as a step-change in delivering the mobile Internet to value-focused non-smartphone consumers. Launching first in the UK priced at £70 Vodafone reckons its mass market smartphone offers the kind of high performance normally associated with high end devices.
Patrick Chomet, Group Terminals Director said: "The Smart II is one of the most important devices we have ever introduced. It delivers a level of performance, functionality and quality that is traditionally the preserve of high-end smartphones but at an exceptionally affordable price. We believe the Smart II could represent a tipping point in the evolution of the market, bringing a new wave of consumers to the supermobile world for the first time."
The Vodafone Smart II has twice the processing power of the most expensive and sought-after smartphones available just three years ago, said the firm, but at a fraction of the price. Functionality includes: HVGA capacitive touchscreen with 64 million colours; new Broadcom 21552 with 832MHz processor and 512MB of RAM; high-speed 3G HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity; 3.2 megapixel camera with white LED flash; and the latest Assisted GPS (AGPS) technology for rapid and accurate mapping and navigation functions.

I was not able to watch this week's edition of the Penn State Football Story until 11:00 last night (that's when it airs on MASN for those of us in the DC area) so I may be a bit late on this one, but did anybody else notice that this week they left out the amazing classic "They put on college football's most distinctive uniform" intro. I personally get jacked up for that clip every week and even watch it Saturdays before kickoff usually.
Think it was just substituted for that "Welcome Back" thing, or do you think they have scrapped it? Seems to be such a great intro to the show and staple of it that we couldn't do away with it, could we?

One of the worst Raider defenses of all time has not only disappointed the fans this year, but the entire organization isn't happy.
A lot want to blame Tarver and Dennis Allen but I don't think it's really their fault. 2 drafts in a row with no 1st pick and our last 1st round pick just quit the team. Seymour was technically our 1st round pick from two years ago has checked out with injuries and Carson Palmer was our pick last year.
All that plus cap hell I'm willing to give Allen and Tarver a pass for this year. Knapp on the other hand should be looking for a new job by Christmas. He can't use the weapons he has and his conservative offense would work if we had a top 5 defense that allows 7 points a game.
All of us want to trade back and pick up picks but a lot of teams want to do that so this mock isn't going to have any trades.
1. Jarvis Jones OLB/DE Georgia 6-2/240
Jones has really good games against good SEC offenses every week. His best skill is pass rushing and was one of the best in the country but he's also athletic enough to cover and stop the run. He will be like Von Miller who pretty much got Dennis Allen's job for him. He's a boar hunter that Raider fans will love and he'll be a play-maker that'll make plays and allow other players to make plays. I can see him taking Burris's spot and move Burris to inside linebacker where I think he'll fit better there anyway.
Watch him not over-pursue and make the tackle. His pass rush gets me excited and he's a leader on that Georgia defense
3rd Round: Tyrann Maththieu "Honey Badger" 5-9/180 CB/FS/Returner LSU
He could walk on and take Adam's returner job and take Gio's job at center fielding FS. Every fan on every team wants to take the chance on this guy. He smoked some pot in college and got kicked off the team. To me it's not that serious and isn't as bad as getting a DUI. He has great football instincts and would instantly make the secondary better.
4th round: Andrew Jackson 6-1/260 MLB Western Kentucky
Plays like Ray Lewis. Hits hard, leads the defense, and talks smack. He played well against Alabama and could be a real steal.
6th round: Brandon McGee CB 6-0/ 190 Miami
Very fast and physical corner but Miami's secondary has struggled hard this year. Maybe with some good coaching McGee could turn it around.
7th round: DT Montori Hughes 6-3/330 Tennessee-Martin
Got kicked off the Tennessee football team. Hughes has 38 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, four sacks and a pass broken up in 2012. Little risk high reward type pick.
Let me know what you guys think.

Red Wings waive Jan Mursak
DETROIT (AP) -- The Detroit Red Wings have put Jan Mursak on waivers, giving teams until noon Saturday to claim the 25-year-old left wing.
Mursak has played in only two games for Detroit this season. He had a goal and two assists in 25 games in 2011-12.
If he clears waivers, the Red Wings will assign him to their AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids.
The Yugoslavia-born Mursak has two goals and two assists in 46 NHL games, all with Detroit. The Red Wings drafted him in the sixth round in 2006.

Obviously, the Bucs had an easy schedule last year. But how much more difficult will this years schedule be than last years? Tampa Bay Buccaneers schedule 2010 compared to Tampa Bay Buccaneers schedule 2011.
In my opinion I don't see much of a difference in the difficulty. Last year we played two teams outside our division with winning records. Baltimore and Pittsburgh. This year we have three. Green Bay, Indy, and Chicago. Four including Jacksonville who was 8-8. Judging the schedule I can realistically see us getting at least 10 wins. Maybe 11 if we can get one from ATL, which I strongly believe we can. What do you think?

Kevin Jonas Is Excited To Spend Time With His Daughter!
Kevin Jonas is really excited to start spending time with his new baby girl when he brings her home from the hospital! Kevin told Us Weekly:
I can't wait for Daddy days. I'm excited for the days I can just spend with her by myself. I want to take her to not typical little girlie things. I want to go to baseball games with her. Even just time at home — me and her one-on-one while [Danielle] goes to the grocery store or out with her friends. Something to give her a break too. She deserves it.
Aww! Kevin and Danielle welcomed their daughter Alena Rose Jonas on February 2, 2014! Congratulations to the very happy couple on their new bundle of joy!

And, for now anyway, it sounds as though Ilya Kovalchuk is happy in Atlanta. It's been another brutal season so far, but he does have another year on his contract so who knows? Maybe a regime change finally comes in terms of a new GM and the new guy can somehow persuade his lone star to stay put?
This has to be the latest captaincy announcement in recent history.

The Associated Press reported this week that Zhang Biqin, the Chinese medicine mogul who built the bizarre looking villa, has been given 15 days to tear down the structure sitting on a 26-story building.
The villa, apparently designed to look like it was carved out of the mountainside, had long drawn complaints from neighbors in the building, who feared the 10,000 square feet structure could collapse on them. The structure had apparently evaded the attention of authorities for six years, but once pictures appeared in the Chinese press this week they decided to get involved.
It's understandable that the villa has to go, but still, we'll be sad to see it go without ever actually seeing it. As such, we're thankful to FlyCam who made this aerial drone video of the structure, providing us a glimpse of the villa, and Beijing Cream, who ripped the video to YouTube.
We should also be very thankful to Al Jazeera's Harry Fawcett, who managed to get as close to anyone has got to filming the interior of the villa (which isn't that close, but still admirable):

Student passes math, films his father's reaction
File this endearing video of a proud papa and his son under "Warm and Fuzzy."
Known as AriaMark on YouTube, the young lad secretly filming the video is a student in Nottingham, England, and based on his own explanation, not a very good student, at that:
A year before this video I was at a grade F in maths and you need a C (pass) to basically do anything with your life. I've never been amazing academically and have struggled throughout school. Neither me nor my dad nor my teachers thought I was going to get my C. I know some of you might be saying, well a C is nothing but for me it was hard to get.
Young AriaMark did, in fact, get his C and instead of just telling his dad the good news, he decided to film his reaction.
While his proud, crying father leaves the room at 2:16, the video continues filming an empty room for another 15 seconds until the young boy comes back -- wearing the best grin ever.

This week on Security Levity, I want to talk about a recent trend in spamming and spam filtering, which has important implications for people who run email networks -- be they corporate or consumer.
In summary: it's now critical for networks to block outbound spam.
Increasingly, spam filters are blocking large ranges of IP addresses. This can be for one of several reasons:
In other words, these IP address ranges will get a very poor sender reputation, thus thwarting spammers' ability to spam -- either from botnets or from dedicated spam servers.
Spammer Countermeasures
How are spammers reacting to this trend? Of course, there's an increasing desire to send from addresses with a good reputation, so spammers are trying aggressively to break into email systems, so they can send from "proper" email servers, rather than botnets of compromised PCs.
One key target is free email: Hotmail, Gmail, and so on. Spammers will either try to create new accounts in bulk, or steal the credentials of existing accounts.
Automatically creating new accounts is theoretically difficult, thanks to the roadblocks thrown up by the service providers. Chief amongst these is CAPTCHA, which essentially says to the account creator, "Are you a spammer? If not, please type in these squiggly letters to prove you're a real person." Sadly, spammers are now able to automatically break many of the simpler forms of CAPTCHA. Where they're unable to break it, offshore workers can solve the puzzles for low or no wages.
Spammers can steal existing accounts using social engineering techniques. This is basically a form of phishing, which tricks end-users into providing their email usernames and passwords. Typically, they send email to users, pretending to be the email administrator, pointing them to a malicious password change web page.
Once a spammer has control of some email accounts on systems with good reputation, they're unlikely to encounter reputation-based blocking. Few anti-spam systems are prepared to block all email from Gmail, for example.
Compromised email networks may suffer a damaged reputation as a result of spammers using them to send spam. So, if you're responsible for an email network at a service provider, corporate entity or other organization, it's more important than ever to be aware of what sort of email is exiting your network. If spam filters see spam coming from your IP address ranges, they'll think you're a spammer.
So it's now extraordinarily important for you to be blocking outbound spam, because otherwise your legitimate email may go unread. How good is your outbound spam protection?
I want to make this an interactive place: where I can answer questions and cover topics that you suggest. Feel free to add comments and ask Amir!
Amir Lev worries about outbound spam filtering, because he's the CTO, President, and co-founder of Commtouch (NASDAQ:CTCH), an e-mail and Web defense technology provider. MORE...

This pours a cola caramel with a thick creamy head.
The aroma is like a strong Christmas tree, with a herbaceous piney blend of goodness coming across.
The flavor is sharply bitter without being hoppy.
There's a blend of Christmas spices, herbal and medicinal.
I like that flavor profile and the combination. Works for me.

3.18/5 rDev -3.6%
On tap at Ashley's in Westland for the Shorts vs. Greenbush Throwdown. This one pours the color of a stained armoire, deep-mahogany and mostly opaque, except for the very top and bottom. If not held to the light, it could easily be mistaken for black. The small, off-white head fades to a skin within moments, leaving basically nothing behind.
The aroma is kind of a "half-and-half" ginger split. Half of it smells like a gingerbread cookie and the other half smells like pure ginger root. The first, soft waves hit more like a cookie with the caramel and bread notes lending a helping hand from the malt. Cinnamon and nutmeg are faint, but definitely in the background. Deeper inhales reveal a more raw ginger aroma - like a straight up ginger root up your nostril.
As I go in for my first sip, I'm really hoping it's a little more on the cookie side than the root side, but sadly it is not. Tons of ginger on the palate, but it really is pretty akin to sucking a ginger root. Mildly spicy and potent with almost a sinus-clearing presence, this bad boy is loaded with ginger spice. All hope is not lost, though - some light caramel, toffee, and toasted bread malt flavors collaborate in the aftertaste to help things out a bit, also adding a little sweetness for balance.
The bad part is that as this warms up, the raw ginger flavor just grows heavier and more potent, turning the beer more and more into a liquid ginger root than a liquid gingerbread cookie. Eventually, even the help of the malts on the back end is useless, and the aftertaste just becomes a mouth full of ginger. Thin-medium bodied with medium carbonation and a slick, wet mouth feel.
Not a bad beer, but just too much ginger. I guess I was expecting more malt and cinnamon and nutmeg to give that "gingerbread" cookie feel - like Hardywood's stout, maybe. But this was erring more towards pure, raw ginger, especially as time went on. If I was going to drink a ginger heavy Shorts brew, I'd reach for Ginger in the Rye over this one - the ginger is better integrated into the base style and not quite as attention-grabbing.

A - This beer pours a ruddy brown with an inch of tan head.
S - The smell is a jumble of aromas. The ginger is apparent. I get some indiscernible spices, too.
T - I get some ginger, clove, and cinnamon. I can taste a little molasses, as well.
M - Moderate
O - I was thinking this would taste more like gingerbread. It is in the vicinity. It is a ginger beer with some roasted characteristics. I was hoping that it would be better.

A: The beer is clear dark reddish brown in color and poured with a quarter finger high light tan head.
S: Moderate aromas of ginger are present in the nose along with hints of brown malts.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and is dominated by favors of ginger, which linger and stand out in the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is a nice holiday ale but seems lime it could use more malts to taste like gingersnaps.

I got a bottle of Short's Gingersnap in their new variety 12 pack a couple weeks ago for $18.99 at Meijers. I tried this beer before when I visited Short's last winter, I liked it but I thought it was a little over spiced and I'm interested to see how the first bottled release of this beer is, so lets see how it goes. No visible bottling date, but the new variety pack showed up recently, so it's fairly fresh. Poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a snifter.
A- The label nice, it fits the beer well and it's a little different looking label for Shorts. It poured a nice dark brown color that didn't really let any light come through with two fingers worth of light mocha colored head that died down to a thin ring that stayed till the end and it left behind lots of sticky lacing behind. This is the a very good looking beer, the head retention and lacing are better than most Short's beers.
S- The aroma starts off with a higher amount of sweetness that has a very molasses and blackstrap like aroma to it with a good amount of spices up that front impart some ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon like aromas with the ginger sticking out the most imparting an earthy fresh ginger rhizome like aroma. Up next comes the malts which are a little overpowered by the spices and impart a nutty and toasted malt like aroma. The aroma is pretty nice and it reminds me of a big chunk of ginger bread cookie dough.
T- The taste seems to be somewhat similar to the aroma and it starts off with a lower amount of high sweetness that has a slight molasses like aroma to it and it's followed by some spices which impart a very light cinnamon flavor with that fresh, earthy, and spicy ginger aspect that I got in the aroma seeming to show up the most. Up next comes a light metallic flavor followed by a noticeable alcohol flavor. On the finish there's some lightly nutty and toasted malt flavors with pretty much no bitterness with that alcohol flavor taking it's place with a ginger and toasted malt like aftertaste. This was a nice tasting beer that wasn't overly spiced, but I thought the alcohol could have been hidden better and the metallic flavor was not needed.
M- Not the smoothest. a little boozy,slightly sticky, a little creamy, pretty rich. on the lighter side of being full bodied with a slightly lower amount of carbonation. The mouthfeel was nice, I wish it was smoother, but the lower amount of medium carbonation works great with this beer.
Overall I thought this a nice beer and nice example of a ginger bread themed beer, it isn't too recognizable as an English Brown Ale, but once it warms up I started to get some of that toasted malt base with some light nutty flavors. This beer doesn't have the best drinkability, it isn't the smoothest, it's a little boozy and a little filling and the taste did an ok job at holding my attention so i think one would be enough for me since I think it would start to wear on me if I drank multiples. This make for a great holiday time beer and it's perfect for the winter and late fall season. What I liked the most about this beer was the appearance and aroma, I thought they both worked really well with this beer. What I liked the least about this beer was the metallic flavor and the noticeable alcohol flavors, i think the alcohol could have been hidden better. I would get a couple bottles of these if they release it next year, but it isn't something I'm going to really anticipate or buy a six pack of, but it seems to fit in nicely with this variety pack and I put one in the cellar as an experiment to see how it changes over time. I would recommend this to anyone who likes ginger beers. All in all I liked this beer, but I think there's room for improvement and it's got a few aspects that make it a little rough around the edges, but it's pretty enjoyable on a cold and slightly snowy day. I thought this variety pack, the third different one released by shorts, was the best of the three with Black Diamond and Mystery Stout being by my favorite and I'm glad they threw in some of their higher abc beers in this variety pack. I thought the spices weren't as overwhelming as they were when I first i had it but, i don't know if wasn't boozy and slight metallic or if the spices just covered it up at the time. Solid work guys, it's nice to see more pub only beers make their way into these variety packs, keep up the good work.
