73-Year-Old Veteran Fired from Cracker Barrel Over a Muffin
VENICE, Fla. (CNN) -- A 73-year-old veteran says he was fired from a Cracker Barrel restaurant for giving a needy man a few condiment packets and a corn muffin. He admits it was against the restaurant's rules, but says he thinks it was the right thing to do.
For the past three-plus years Joe Koblenzer has put on his brown and yellow Cracker Barrel apron and greeted those who come in to the Venice location.
"It's a fun job. A job really suited to me," Koblenzer said.
Two weeks ago the 73-year-old says a man who looked like he might be homeless came through the doors.
"He looked a little needy. He asked if I had any mayonnaise and some tartar sauce. He said he was going to cook a fish," Koblenzer said.
The man whose job it is to be friendly obliged. "I got it for him. As I walked out I put a corn muffin in," Koblenzer said. That gesture apparently cost Koblenzer his job.
"The general manager called me in and said he had some bad news for me. Joe we are going to have to let you go," Koblenzer said.
He admits hes been written up before. Two years ago for getting a fountain drink on the job and a second time for giving a cup of coffee to a woman. He claims she actually paid for it. Rules are rules.
"It's a rule. They legally can do this because I did break the rule," Koblenzer said.
Now the Vietnam vet who was trying to supplement his Social Security is the one down on his luck.
"Hurt me? Oh yeah it has," Koblenzer said.
The debate over the seriousness of the event and the subsequent firing has started a fire storm online. In recent days the story has gotten out on Facebook. Pages like the Venice Scoop and even the restaurants own page. While some are saying its the company's right the establishments reviews have plummeted with more than 30 negative comments about the firing.
"I feel badly it shines a bad light on the company. I would not want that on any company but it happened," Koblenzer said.
Koblenzer says he's sad over the situation and misses the regulars and employees hes gotten to know. Earning the maximum amount of stars on his apron for performance achievement and responsibility.
"You know what? At 73 I was really proud of doing this. I was really proud of getting those stars," Koblenzer said.
He says, yes it was against the rules and yes they have a right to let him go. But morally it still feels like it was the right thing to do.
"I don't think I will be working for a corporation again, so I don't know if that will ever come up." Joe says he is looking for a new job but not quite sure yet what he will do.
A Cracker Barrel spokesperson provided the following statement: "During the time he was employed, he violated the company's policies regarding consuming food without paying or giving away free food, on five separate occasions. Mr. Koblenzer received multiple counselings and written warnings reminding him about the company's policies and the consequences associated with violating them. Cracker Barrel is grateful for and honors Mr. Koblenzer's service to our country as we honor all service men and women and their families."

If you're slightly distracted by the whimsical living room fort in these photos, shift your gaze to the Zwol Pendant Lamps in the foreground. Crafted by the same design team as the fantastic structure in the back, these light fixtures have their own delightful quirkiness about them.
They look factory mass-produced but the hanging lights are actually molded by hand out of Acrylic One. They hang simply from their electrical cords and its the lightbulb coverings that make these Stal Collectief creations especially worthy of note.
Not metal nor plastic, the cage that covers the Zwol Pendant Lamp has actually been made of laser-cut birch plywood. This unexpected design decision expresses a lovely natural quality to such a seemingly industrial object.

With debuts of items such as the I Can See Clearly Now endtable and the Snow White and the 7 Drawers jewelry chest, Caracole hosted some of the most-discussed introductions at the market. Part of the Schnadig portfolio, Caracole unveiled 71 case goods and 21 upholstery items for the bedroom, dining room and living room for the largest amount of High Point introductions since the brand's launch in 2009.
"We want to bring the fun back to furniture," said Maura Riley, marketing director, Schnadig. "We pride ourselves on our finishes, and we love to mix elements and do the unexpected." The High Point introductions were inspired by international travel, trendy boutique hotels and European trade shows like Maison et Objet. Clean lined silhouettes and dramatic details mixed with unique materials such as white bone, brushed silver, matte black metals and crystal clear Lucite. Hardware details were designed in-house for creating striking accents. Pictured is the Black Beauty chair. caracole.com
Rug company Horizon Home Imports debuted a new category at market: decorative accents. Under the brand name Fashion & You, the new line consists of such products as candle holders, bowls, lanterns (shown) and decorative pieces like miniature airplanes and cannons, all made of iron, steel and brass. The lanterns and trays were the most well received items in the new 100-SKU line so far, said Zubair Alam, vice president. Furniture such as tables will be added in the future.
"We have been in this business for the last three generations," said Alam, but recently decided to import this line into the U.S. directly. The line is made in north India. "Our decorative and accents line will be very limited and selective," he added. "We will bring the best in the market because we have the experience." horizonhomeimport.com
Powell's initial introductions for its recently acquired Bombay Heritage license were some of the most highly anticipated in High Point.
The company came to market with over 100 designs of furniture and rugs reflecting the exotic and classic styles for which the brand is known. New Bombay items such as consoles, tables, ottomans and jewelry armoires come in a variety of finishes. A selection of desks, including the Mallory Desk (shown), is Powell's entry into the office furniture category.
"Bombay is a great fit for us," said John Conrad, Powell's senior vice president, merchandising. "It's really perfect for Powell. It fits right in our wheel house."
Conrad and his team reviewed more than 3,000 items from Bombay's former offerings, whittling them down to the High Point introductions.
Conrad said Powell will roll out a line of Bombay items for kids in Las Vegas in January. The company showed a Bombay-branded set of bunk beds in High Point. powellcompany.com
AP Industries
AP Industries unveiled the Sekoya Collection, the Quebec-based company's first collection using 100-percent reclaimed facades. The reclaimed material is solid Vermont Birch that is gathered within the company's existing production cycle.
The contemporary collection comes in two finishes—espresso with natural and espresso with slate. The focal point of the collection is an eye-catching band of birch on the headboard and drawers. Ken Loh II, the vice president of sales for AP Industries, said the process of applying the birch is very labor intensive. "Each piece of material is applied by hand, taking an average of 20 minutes per drawer," Loh said. The birch varies in depth, color, cut marking and texture to give each case good its own unique character. AP Industries announced at the show that its residential products have received Greenguard certification, making it the first full-line North American manufacturer to have all its items meet the group's chemical emissions standards. apindustries.com

Here is my wish list of lilies.... I don't have room to get all of them, but I do have room for a few more and these are the specific ones I would like to find. I still have small divisions of both the yellow and pink lily to trade, or I would be happy to outright purchase. I would like to find 2 or 3 from the same person to save on shipping if possible....Thank you!!

Came across this gem..I think I would run and fight another day, although a couple of years ago my ego was huge and I would have said draw 1st and let them fly.
Draw, Move or Both
A normal Saturday at the mall, a busy parking lot filled to capacity with cars; Dozens and dozens of shoppers about, a glimmer catches your eye, is it a shopping cart, a cell phone GUN. Threat 25 meters away, what do you do? Draw, let the bullets fly and what happens happens. Move to cover, possibly run away, or move and draw cooking off rounds as you go.
How fast can you move and draw your weapon simultaneously? Can you do two things as fast as one? How many bullets will be flying towards you in the time it takes to draw? How can you make yourself more difficult to hit? Are you really going to fire rounds while running away, in a crowded parking lot?

Xamarin.Forms: What Developers Make of It
Developers tell us why they use it and what benefit they derive from the tooling, and Xamarin developer Craig Dunn goes over the decisionmaking process when choosing between Xamarin.Forms, Xamarin.iOS or Xamarin.Android.
Simplifying Cross-Platform Mobile App Development with Xamarin.Forms
Lots of decisions go into creating cross-platform apps. Without Xamarin.Forms, the decision process is almost too unwieldy. Here's how it can simplify your mobile development.
Using OAuth, Twitter and Async To Display Data - Connect to Twitter from a mobile application using OAuth with the Xamarin.Auth library, along with Joe Mayo's LINQ To Twitter library
Authentication has been a part of .NET for a long time. Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems:
Build a Cross-Platform, Mobile Golf App Using C# and Xamarin - MSDN Magazine Article
One of the fun things about the return of golf season is participating in tournaments that feature events such as a longest drive contest. In these, a person's first shot off a designated hole is measured against others in the tournament. The longest drive during the day is declared the winner. However, these contests typically don't have centralized scoring. If you're in the first group, you don't know until after the event is over where your shots stand in relation to everyone else's. Why not use a mobile phone to record the starting point and ending point of drives and store the information in a cloud-hosted database?
CodeCast Episode #2 - Talkin' 'bout Xamarin
I was honored to have been on CodeCast Episode #2. While there, I talked about my past, how I got into programming, and the decision tree that led me to use Xamarin's technologies. After those discussions, I did a demo on oAuth authentication to Twitter via Xamarin.Auth and Xamarin.iOS (iPhone) and then showed the code for doing the exact same thing in Xamarin.Android (Android). Hopefully, this is helpful to you as you look at, discussion, try, and do whatever on Xamarin's technologies.

Article Url: http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2014/01/01/xamarin-how-to.aspx
Developers like to create simple examples. Typically, these examples are a screen of data and controls that users can work with. But rarely are real-world applications a single screen of data. iOS provides developers with several standard mechanisms to allow users to navigate between multiple screens of data. This article will examine two controls that developers can use to provide easy navigation for users: the UINavigationController and the UITabBarController.

Async & Await in C# with Xamarin
One of the great things about the .NET Framework is that Microsoft has worked long and hard to improve many features. Since the initial release of .NET 1.0, there has been support for threading via .NET threads as well as an application-level threadpool. This provided a great starting point when compared to Visual Basic 6 and classic ASP programming. The release of.NET 4 brought significant improvements in the area of threading, asynchronous operations and parallel operations. While the improvements made working with asynchronous operations easier, new problems were introduced, since many of these operations work based on callbacks. For example:
- How should a developer handle error checking?
- The program flow tends to be non-linear. Fixing bugs can be problematic.
- It is hard for a developer to get an understanding of what is happening within an application.
This article will look at how Xamarin has implemented the .NET 4.5/C# 5 support into their Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android productions. There are three general areas that I'll focus on:
- A general look at the asynchronous support in Xamarin's mobile products. This includes async, await, and the implications that this has for cross-platform code.
- The new HttpClient class that is provided in .NET 4.5/Mono 3.2.
- Xamarin's extensions for asynchronous operations for Android and iOS.
FYI: Be aware that sometimes the OpenWeatherMap API breaks, for no reason. I found this out after I shipped the article in.

The Riser consists of two routes – a shorter route of 47 miles or a more demanding 84 mile course.
A full and detailed route card will be given to each rider on the day. We recommend that riders study the route prior to the event. Each course will be fully signed with arrows to point you in the right direction and at no point should you have to refer to the route card while en route. It is purely there for you as a contingency.
We have designed the Riser routes so that riders spend as little time as possible on A roads, and we are sure you will be pleased as a result of this careful planning. There are however a few points where you will have to cross busier roads. These sections will be marshalled by our staff who will be wearing high visibility jackets to help pre-warn you.
You will experience minimal traffic on your ride, but we like to remind riders to take care when approaching bends and blind spots on the smaller roads, as there is always a possibility of on-coming cars in the middle of the road.
If you get into difficulty on the day then you will find a contact number to call on the back of your rider number which will be tied to your handlebars. If you find that you can no longer carry on then we will come and collect you.
Prior to the event you will receive an email containing full briefing notes informing you of everything you need to know. We aim is to make this experience as hassle free as possible; leaving you get on with what you enjoy most – riding your bik

China's leadership transition is officially edging ahead, with the executive body of the Communist Party Congress forwarding a list of names to congress delegates for review.
The official Xinhua News Agency reported Saturday that the congress's presidium, 41 current and former members of the leadership, approved a candidate list for the Central Committee and sent it to the delegates. The delegates will cast votes before the congress closes Wednesday to choose the Central Committee, a roughly 350-member body.
The Central Committee in turn will select the top leadership.
The move is largely a formality, as is the congress itself. Deciding the lineup of leading bodies falls to a small group of powerbrokers. Candidates outnumber seats by only a small margin, giving the 2,268 congress delegates little choice.
Secretary of the CPC Guangdong Committee Wang Yang attends a meeting of the 18th Communist Party Congress at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China.

Cheap Ways to Make an Outfit Look Expensive
The biggest fashion trends need not drain your budget—in fact, subtle touches like zippers, small sequins, and beading with a matte finish usually pass for good quality even when made inexpensively.
"A button covered in fabric looks more couture," says Phillip Bloch, a Los Angeles–based stylist and the author of The Shopping Diet. Another embellishment that looks fancy, not tacky: "Fabric manipulation—pleating, ruching, draping—is a designer touch that can be done well with synthetics," says designer Rachel Roy.
As far as budget flourishes to say away from, skip fake gems, as they tend to look particularly cheap if they're made out of plastic. Same goes for shiny buttons, large sequins, and lots of logos.

Will Simpson lettuce and rocket seeds germinate in hot weather? (around 85 to 95 degrees)
If so, then how deep do we have to plant them? Also, I heard that rocket seeds need light to germinate, is that true? If it is then how do we plant them? Do we just place them on top of the soil or do we bury them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lettuce won't germinate well at those temperatures. They require temps under 80. |
Here is a link that might be useful: germination chart
Just in case US readers are wondering about rocket. That's arugula. I call it rocket too but have learned the alternative name on these forums. Apparently it needs 40 - 55 Fahrenheit to germinate ie pretty cool by your standards. A nice warm spring day by mine. I don't know about the light thing. I just sow in a shallow groove. Seems to do OK. |
simpson is a great cool weather lettuce, bolts very quickly - so I would wait on that. Arugula. it bolts too, but you may be able to keep it clipped until the cool weather, however, it will get a very strong taste quickly in the heat - not sure if that will abate when the temps go down. |

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
The infamous question is a philosophical thought experiment meant to arouse curiosity over the nature of observation and what we understand to be reality. It's also used by undergrads studying philosophy to sound more musing than they truly are (as well as a cross-section of other weirdoes who often follow up the original question by asking if you'd like to feel their heart with a body part other than your hand).
A more modern equivalent to such an inquiry might be:
If a person tweets to no followers, does he or she actually have an opinion on sports?
Of course, an ontological question of such magnitude for the sports fan requires further examination.
Why does this hypothetical he or she not have any followers? Did the person constantly retweet the spelling mistakes of people they're not even following, instigating a mass exodus of followers? Are they the only account free from "bots" following them? Do he or she not receive mentions advising them of methods for the inflation of their sexual organs? Why wouldn't this person just buy some fake followers?
The idea of fake followers came to the social media forefront this past summer amid accusations that Republican Presidential nominee Mitt Romney purchased additional Twitter disciples after an uncharacteristically large increase of newly made accounts began following the former Governor of Massachusetts over the time span of a single weekend. Buying this form of social media capital is a shady bit of business because the followers themselves don't generate any direct value for the user. Its sole purpose is to mislead others into accepting a false sense of authority based on popularity.
While the idea of fake followers suggests insidious back room dealings with a member of the social media black market, the truth is that every public Twitter account ends up getting followed by accounts that aren't run by individuals interested in your thoughts on Beyonce's thighs during the Super Bowl half-time show. Thanks to the coding skills of spamsters, the more you tweet and the more people following you, the more likely it is that a growing percentage of fake followers have attached themselves to you.
As of writing this, I am followed by a modest 6,567 accounts on Twitter, and I average approximately 15 tweets per day. I don't have any delusions about my number of followers. The majority of people following me through social media do so because of my job in which I write about sports. I have never gone out of my way to solicit fake accounts through purchase or promotion, but according to Status People, a website that provides an online method for tracking Twitter statistics, 12% of my followers are judged to be fake.
These findings led me to wonder about the elite of my profession, members of the sports media whose opinions are the most accepted, whose accounts are the most followed, and whose employers are among the most powerful in the business. I proceeded to compile a not entirely objective list consisting of fifty writers, radio broadcasters and television presenters. The criteria for membership in this who's who of sports media was mainly built around popularity on Twitter. However, I attempted to ensure that the list properly represented a wide array of sports coverage and outlet affiliation, as well as including greater gender variation than strictly looking at follower accounts would've allowed. I took the names that I selected and put each one through the Status People application.
These are the results:
It's important to remember that a high count of fake followers doesn't necessarily mean that they were purchased by the user, and this is in no way meant to accuse anyone of such a misleading practice. Rather, collecting this data is meant to exhibit that a large number of followers on social media doesn't necessarily translate into a large audience.
It should also be noted that the methods for extracting the data won't always lead to the most accurate results. Status People takes a sample of followers and then assesses their behavior on Twitter based on predetermined criteria for a spam account. The larger the following, the larger the sample, but it's not proportional, and those tested with a lot of followers will have their samples skewed more toward recent additions.
The average percentage of fake followers on the list among the sports media elite is 26%, with a 25% median.
The average percentage of inactive followers on the list among the sports media elite is 36%, with a 37% median.
The average percentage of real and active followers on the list among the sports media elite is 38%, with a 37% median.
While it's refreshing to learn that the average real and active amount of followers is greater than either fake or inactive, the average big-time sports journalist is still tweeting comments, thoughts and links to less than 40% of the followers that they supposedly have. Considering the unlikelihood of that 38% all keeping up to date on their Twitter application every time a journalist tweets, and the reach of even the most followed is greatly diminished from the impression that their total follower count might otherwise warrant.
I think this is best seen by comparing FOX Soccer's Grant Wahl to independent soccer writer Ives Galarcep. Wahl is seen to have 295,000 followers on Twitter, which compares rather favorably to Galarcep's 82,000. However, given the high number of fake accounts following Wahl's feed, the two writers are reaching a similar number of engaged people with their respective tweets.
Surprisingly, the fictional characters portrayed on ESPN's sports media satirical comedy First Take – Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless – have the largest percentage of true followers on the entire list.
The Keepin' It Real award agoes to Bayless, who had the highest percentage of real and active followers (presumably inversely proportional to the legitimacy of his arguments). Runners up include his partner Smith and Zach Lowe of ESPN's Grantland.
The Faker McPhony award goes to Grant Wahl of FOX Sports and Sports Illustrated, who has the highest percentage of fake followers. Runners up include Emma Carmichael of Deadspin and Mike Wilbon of ESPN.
The Dying Audience award goes to Don Banks of Sports Illustrated, who has the highest percentage of inactive followers. Runners up include Judy Battista of the New York Times and Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports.
The journalists representing baseball had the lowest percentage of real and active followers, while generalists had the highest. Of the major media outlets represented, ESPN, not including Grantland's writers, had the highest percentage of real and active followers. FOX Sports, with their relatively small sample skewed by Grant Wahl's lackluster numbers, had the highest percentage of fake followers.
Aside: Anecdotally speaking, it seems as though the older the journalist, the more likely he or she is to include his or her affiliation in their Twitter handle.
Adam Schefter is enormous. Yes, he has a higher than average percentage of fake accounts following him, but it's understandable given his enormous following. His true following of approximately 864,000 is more than 200,000 followers higher than the next closest sports journalist.

What's the weirdest thing management has said to you?
12Dec 11, '12 by monkeybugBased on the thank you card thread, what's the most bizarre thing said to you by management or administration? I can think of a few that will always stand out in my mind.
When discussing our patient satisfaction surveys, our manager told me in a staff meeting, "Monkeybug, a patient would much rather have a nice nurse than a smart one. They don't care how smart you are, it doesn't matter. The "little things" are what matter! In fact, a family probably wouldn't care if you killed a patient if you were a really sweet nurse." My reply was rather colorful, and culminated with me saying, "give me the smart ***** any day if I'm the patient."
I had a negative survey once because the patient had rolling veins. The patient's comment was that I should have kept this from happening. I asked manager how I was to do this, for future reference. "Well, of course, you can't control rolling veins. But I'm sure if you just apologized enough, you wouldn't get these negative comments!" (my only negative that quarter, but enough of an issue to get called to the office)Last edit by brian on Dec 13, '12 : Reason: added image -
1Dec 11, '12 by anotheronewe always get those comments. other gems are along the same linesLexRaven likes this.
15Dec 11, '12 by classicdame Guidewe were told once to not call into the patient's room if their favorite show was on. Really?
8Dec 11, '12 by WeepingAngelYou should have been able to answer all of those urology patient's questions about their urologic problems, meds, diagnostic tests, and urologist, even though you don't work on a urology floor. They were very frustrated. (my inner monologue: SO WAS I!!!)
8Dec 11, '12 by liveyourlife747Management has encouraged us to go take walks on our lunch breaks, um yea like we have the time to leave the floor and go outside to walk around the track. Plus they didn't understand that our unit phones don't work outside the hospital, so we would be unavailable in the event of an emergency with our pt.
10Dec 11, '12 by FLICURNOur NIH policy is to do a handoff NIH with the on/off going nurse doing it together. THe NIH assessments had been Q4. The first NIH I did I charted the NIH scale. The next day I am in line to pick up my son from school and the hospital calls telling me I didn't complete the stroke charting and need to come back to finish it. I let the mgr know that I had in fact done the stroke scale. She's said she saw that, but I didn't write the note that I completed it. So my response was "So I have to chart that I charted?" Yup.... we now have to chart that we charted.... makes lots of sense to me! I guess they just want it recorded that the 2 nurses did it together??
18Dec 11, '12 by monkeybugI remembered another nutty thing the same manager said. At a staff meeting we were discussing the fact that 99% of the time we did not get a lunch break. At best, you might get to gulp down a few bites on the way through the nurses station. A nurse had finally gone to HR about it. HR told us to clock a "no lunch.". Manager said we should just think about a day when we didn't have a patient, or maybe got an entire hour, and "it would all even out." Excuse me, but it does not. I am not allowed to run to Target if I don't happen to have a patient. That time is not my own. I asked her what the Labor Board would say about her theory (it is such a pain when one of the nurses you are trying to screw is a lawyer!). We got an email shortly thereafter stating that we should write out a "no lunch" on the clocking error sheet.Last edit by monkeybug on Dec 11, '12 : Reason: Spelling
5Dec 11, '12 by monkeybugQuote from KelRN215We never got paid, either, but it was okay (to management) because those that worked the spring forward got paid 8 hours. Never mind that it was not always the same nurses."The hospital always errs on the employee's side"... A lie told to me by management attempting to explain why I wouldn't be getting paid for the extra hour I worked on the fall back night in 2011.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Protection in 4.0.1 -- a Cataclysm spec in a Wrath world {WoW}
Nov 6th 2010 5:53AM ... What? I have no threat problems, single target or aoe. If anything, my threat is higher than it ever was in Cata.
Single target, I can out-threat mages that unload 20k DPS in the first minute of a fight. A few minutes later, I'm so far ahead that I can pretty much just dance with the boss.
Multi target, a quick rend + TC (and maybe a glyphed cleave) reliably rounds them up, then shockwave and I may as well not bother with omen. Vengeance ensures that I'll get to 10k+ dps very quickly. With AOE spells being nerfed pretty hard, that first half-second during the pull is the only time anyone can hope to pull aggro.
Breakfast Topic: Has 4.0.1 brought you back to WoW? {WoW}
Oct 16th 2010 9:58AM I was already playing wow when 4.0.1 hit, but wow is it a great motivator for sticking around the next two months, polishing off all those old achievements that are going away in Cataclysm.
The new tanking? LOVING IT. It seems like a middle ground between the brutal difficulty of vanilla tanking, versus the facerolling of wrath. Just enough to make tanking interesting. Tanks can have skill again!
The new healing? Too soon to tell as it's all geared for 85, but as a disc priest, the changes to smite and the new archangel talent just make me wet. DPSing things adds another dimension to my disc priest's life, and a very welcome dimension, at that.
I also welcome the stat changes, though mastery seems a bit weak for the time being, at least for some classes. I'm sure that's like the deeps problems some specs are having though, kinks that need to be worked out. After all, unlike the last two expansions, this one isn't just adding straight buffs... it's reworking and even nerfing sections of WoW at the same time, on a vast scale.
Breakfast Topic: Has playing WoW changed your life? {WoW}
Oct 14th 2010 2:07PM No inspiring stories, here. I can't say that WoW's saved my life, or introduced me to someone special, or helped me through a rough time. But I've met many friends in WoW. Some of them have become RL friends; others remain names on a ventrilo list but are better than many RL friends I've had.
And I think that's worth mentioning, isn't it? :)
Guest Post: Confessions of a noob rogue {WoW}
Oct 10th 2010 2:37AM I should note that the only other painful leveling experiences are the priest, prior to obtaining vampiric touch at 50, and enhancement shaman, prior to 41~. But at least they don't have to wait for 80 :P. I've purposely left out healing specs in this comparison ;)
Guest Post: Confessions of a noob rogue {WoW}
Oct 10th 2010 2:34AM Until you run into a member of the opposite faction.
Guest Post: Confessions of a noob rogue {WoW}
Oct 10th 2010 2:30AM I have nine eighties and a lot of 60-70's, including four rogues (80, 74, 70, 66). /qualifications
Of all the classes, rogue is the biggest bitch to level nowdays. It has the most downtime, the least killing power and no AOE (unless you're combat and like to bash bricks against your head, in which case you get a few seconds of 2-target AOE every 2 minutes). It has one AOE spell if blade flurry is not counted, and that's fan of knives.... acquired at LEVEL 80.
That's right, you can't AOE until you've hit heroics. So not only is your solo leveling lacklustre, you can't even take refuge in groups. Any other class with a half-decent player behind it will beat you to the ground in damage and dps. Add to this that if you want a less painful leveling experience (MoD, improved stealth speed, maybe the +ambush crit talents), particularly on a PvP server, you have to go at least some way into subtlety and leveling talents, which kills your damage even further in instances.
And yes, it really is that bad. Bandage/eat every 2-4 mobs. Two same level mobs on you? Cooldowns. Three mobs? Best vanish and try that pull again. It's most telling when you arrive in outland. Even with BoA weaponry and after acquiring BC gear upgrades, the entirety of Hellfire Peninsula is painfully brutal.
It's highlighted even more if you were to create a blood death knight, which also deals mainly in physical damage, and bring it to outland at 58 with its default quest gear (which is slightly below outland quality). Proceed to two-shot infernals, pull 8~ fel orcs at once, solo Cruel's Intentions and come out of it all with full health, roaring for the next pull. It's not just death knights, though. Non-holy paladins, shadow priests, warriors, non-resto druids, warlocks, mages, shaman, hunters... some are more adept at others at melting face but they are all significantly ahead of our poor pointy-weaponed friends.
I can only hope that Cataclysm helps to smooth the leveling experience over.
Drama Mamas: Spearheading morality {WoW}
Oct 9th 2010 3:24AM In vanilla, there was a marked difference between factions. Generally speaking:
Alliance: More immature people ("immoral" people, I guess). On the flip side, there also tended to be more "nicer" people.
Horde: More mature people. Also more elitists.
This is not exclusive, it is simply an observance of ratios. Both sides had all of the above.
I stress, however, that this was in vanilla. I play both sides on several servers and as time has passed, the community has homogenised. I suspect that both WoW's age and the introduction of a pretty horde race helped this along. Nowdays, someone harking a difference between factions is either very old school or very new.
Interestingly though, there is still a measurable difference between PvE and PvP crowds; a PvE has a higher instance of drama queens, but also of mature and kind people. PvP servers have more asshats, but more serious people too; ironically, the best PvE is on PvP servers. xD
Drama Mamas: Tank entitlement {WoW}
Aug 29th 2010 4:51PM Preamble: I've been tanking since vanilla and, I am not ashamed to say, am very, very good at it. However, I have been [i]better[/i] at it at some point in the past. I used to wait for healer mana, to stop and explain fights, to patiently let the group catch up and give breathers. Time has turned me into an asshole.
It's not that I'm elitist or anything. I just feel so familiar with the game that my patience with anything less than a blistering speed run approaches zero. So, I just make assumptions: that the rest of the LFD group is capable. I assume that people know the fights, that people know their class, that people know the pulls and the shortcuts, that people have "raid awareness". Predictably, things go belly-up rather often for me.
But that's with randoms, and this is where my [b]point[/b] comes in to play. It seems like the only reason for the frothing hate in LFD groups is that you have no incentive to not act like an anonymous asshat. Amongst my friends and guildies, even aquaintances, I make no changes to my tanking. We'll get a group or half-group together, hit up a heroic and I'll set off like a yapping dog let off its leash for the first time in three days, pulling groups en masse and treating the ground like lava. My goal is fairly simple: kill all of the bosses in the instance in (self) record time.
In a LFD group, it's 50/50 as to whether I'll have people breathing down my neck for this behaviour. But when I'm with guildies, they love it. Those used to my tanking adopt the same sort of behaviour and get very impatient with other tanks, while loving every second of our hectic fast-paced clearing. Those new to my tanking, who normally would 50/50 bag me out, universally profess their enjoyment of the run and/or call me insane... after they've caught their breath... and sign up for more.
Maybe it's just anonimity that's the problem? Getting matched with people you don't care about, and have no incentive to give a chance to?

Robert Griffin III 'feeling good'
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan is optimistic that Robert Griffin III will play next weekend after the rookie quarterback suffered a concussion in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Shanahan said that Griffin will rest before seeing an independent neurologist Monday evening. Griffin has not experienced any dizziness or headaches on Monday, and Shanahan said that the star rookie is "feeling good."
"We should find out in the next few days exactly what happens," Shanahan said Monday. "Right now it looks good. I'm not really sure if it stays that way. The professionals will monitor his situation and let us know if able he's able to play or not. We surely have nothing to do with it."
Could Redskins Succeed Without RG3?
Washington's offense can adapt without star rookie Robert Griffin III but would be far more limited, writes Gary Horton of Scouts Inc. Story
Griffin might participate in a cardio workout Tuesday and will practice Wednesday if he continues to avoid concussion-related symptoms. Shanahan acknowledged that the No. 2 overall draft pick will play against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 6 if he is able to practice this week.
Shanahan's update came hours after backup quarterback Kirk Cousins said Griffin was "in good spirits" on Monday morning during a mandatory meeting for rookies. Cousins also said Griffin "seems to be doing well."
Griffin is not allowed to speak to reporters until he is symptom-free. He was knocked out of Sunday's 24-17 loss in the third quarter on a legal hit to the helmet by linebacker Sean Weatherspoon while scrambling near the sideline.
"In my experience, when the quarterback gets that first hit like he received, they slide a little bit sooner in plays to come," Shanahan said. "They kind of protect themselves a little bit more."
Team spokesman Tony Wyllie said Griffin was examined by a neurologist in the locker room before being sent home from the team's stadium.
NFC East blog
ESPN.com's Dan Graziano writes about all things NFC East in his division blog.
About three hours after the game, Griffin tweeted: "I'm ok and I think after all the testing I will play next week."
NFL rules require a player who has been diagnosed by the team medical staff as having a concussion to sit out the rest of the game. He also can't return to practice or game action until a team doctor and independent neurologist clear him.
The NFL will review how the Redskins handled the release of information surrounding Griffin's concussion, league spokesman Greg Aiello told NFL.com. NFL rules mandate timely and accurate reporting by teams when they release injury information, and the Redskins' initial description that Griffin was "shaken up" might not meet those standards.
Shanahan addressed the Redskins' handling of the information Monday, claiming that Griffin initially knew the score and quarter of the game after being hit. Several minutes later, Griffin no longer knew, Shanahan said.
Cousins finished the game in Griffin's place, throwing a touchdown pass and two interceptions.
If there are any setbacks, Shanahan will have to choose between Cousins and veteran Rex Grossman. Grossman has been inactive all year as the third-string quarterback, a humbling experience for a player who once led the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl.
"Kirk has been No. 2 for a reason, because we feel like he's earned that right," Shanahan said. "We feel very good about him and where he's at, but we also have a lot of confidence in Rex as well."

Relationships of Cetacea (Artiodactyla) Among Mammals: Increased Taxon Sampling Alters Interpretations of Key Fossils and Character Evolution. Introduction Establishing the position of Cetacea (whales, dolphins and porpoises) within Mammalia has long been a focus of mammalian systematists.
The transition from a primitively quadrupedal terrestrial ancestor to a convergently 'fish-like' modern mammal species involved changes in numerous character systems. Whale and dolphin evolution - what changed first, diet or the ability to walk? When the ancestors of living cetaceans — whales, dolphins and porpoises — first dipped their toes into water, a series of evolutionary changes were sparked that ultimately placed these swimming mammals into the larger hoofed animal group.
But what happened first, a change from a plant-based diet to a carnivorous diet, or the loss of their ability to walk? A new paper published this week in seeks to resolve this debate using a massive data set of the morphology, behavior, and genetics of living and fossil relatives. Cetacean ancestors probably moved into water before changing their diet (and their teeth) to include carnivory; , a 48-million year-old semi-aquatic herbivore, and hippos fall closest to cetaceans when the evolutionary relationships of the larger group are reconstructed.
List of extinct cetaceans. The list of extinct cetaceans features the extinct genera and species of the order Cetacea. The cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) are descendants of land-living mammals, the even-toed ungulates. The earliest cetaceans were still hoofed-mammals. These early cetaceans became gradually better adapted for swimming than for walking on land, finally evolving into fully marine cetaceans. This list currently includes only fossil genera and species.

Struble After CES: AM/FM is the only Analog Technology at CES
Columbia, MD - Feb 2, 2012 - Bob Struble, CEO of iBiquity, continues to entreat over-the-air radio broadcasters to embrace HD Radio. In the latest edition of his series "Thoughts on Radio's Digital Future" he shares some observations from the recent 2012 CES convention.
He writes: "That AM/FM is still growing and profitable while using 100 year old technology is a testimony to the industry's resilience and adaptability. But it is not a viable long-term growth strategy. As CES showed, the vastly superior consumer experience digital technologies can deliver will win out over the limited capabilities of analog technology. Fair minds can debate how long that will take, but the end point is clear."
While much of what Struble writes about is the digital dashboard, he also comments on mobile phone technology: "As to mobile phones, there is a strong industry consensus that broadcast radio must find its way onto the ubiquitous mobile device of our times. Radio cannot be the go to out-of-home medium if it is not on the device in everyone's pocket. Happily, we are seeing solid progress on this critical initiative...Blackberry announced it would include analog FM on several handset models. NAB Fastroad is developing an end-to-end broadcast system that unleashes the true power of radio in connected handsets, creating exciting new experiences for listeners and innovative new services for advertisers. And at CES we showed the first working HD Radio mobile handsets. So we are getting there."

Home : Events : Organist Workshops
Click here to download a copy of the brochure
Registration for the Primer Level is now closed. Please contact email@example.com to be wait-listed.
This dual-track workshop is intended for novice organists as well as musicians who play pianos or electronic keyboards for worship services. Organists who have had little or no formal training, who have been drafted into playing the organ, who do not play pedals or use only one foot are ideal candidates. Pianists who play for worship will learn more about how to lead congregational singing of hymns and liturgy from the piano.
All students will have group classes in theology and hymnody with Kantor Resch. Pianists and organists will meet separately with Kantor Hildebrand and Dr. Grime to learn more about service playing on their respective instruments.
For intermediate-level organists who have completed Level I and choral directors wishing to study the Lutheran Theology of Worship and choral fundamentals, with emphasis on making choices for the Lutheran service. Dr. Gifford Grobien will conduct a daily session on the theology of worship. Kantor Hildebrand will lead sessions on the playing of hymns, liturgy, intonations, chorale preludes and the leading of challenging hymns. Kantor Richard Resch will lead sessions on choral literature and the art of conducting.

Title: Eye Health and Vision Care for Patients with Diabetes: Comparing Usual Care to a Targeted Intervention in a Randomized Controlled Trial
Need/Background: Diabetic retinopathy is estimated to be the most frequent cause of new cases of blindness in the United States among adults. Severe and moderate vision loss from diabetes is often preventable with timely detection and treatment.
Rationale: Many diabetic patients do not understand the importance of annual dilated fundus examinations in the absence of ocular symptoms, nor do they recognize the benefits of early detection of diabetic eye disease.
Methodological design: The proposed pilot study compares the efficacy of usual care to an intervention emphasizing patient education targeted at English-speaking adult patients with diabetes seeking eye care in an academic health center. This proposal illustrates the specific aims of the investigators to increase patient knowledge of preventive health strategies for diabetes as they pertain to eye health and vision care, to increase patient satisfaction with eye and vision care, to educate future health care providers in diabetic patient care, and to promote interdisciplinary collaboration in the care of patients with diabetes.
Data analysis: The primary outcome measures are patient knowledge of preventive health strategies for diabetes as they pertain to eye health and vision care and patient satisfaction with eye and vision care. A multinomial generalized estimating equation will be used to ascertain group differences.
Significance: It is anticipated that the results of the study shall be used to tailor the intervention to meet the needs of the local community and to seek external funding for future research. The ultimate goal of this project is to increase the proportion of persons with diabetes who have dilated fundus examinations at appropriate intervals and to reduce visual impairment due to diabetic retinopathy.

A good friend recently asked me what he should watch on Netflix because he and his wife wanted something scary. I realized how many people would probably just want an easy list of the scariest movies on Netflix instant. So for you horror regulars and for those of you who just want a scare once in awhile, here's a list of the scariest films you can watch right now if you have Netflix.
Now it's my belief that fear is one of the most personal of emotions, so 'scariest' is such a personal preference that opinions should vary greatly (and frankly I don't even remember the last time a film actually scared me). I'll also note that I'm not a fan of 'cheap' scares, and prefer genuinely eerie and disturbing atmosphere rather than a loud noise and mirror gag. So let me know what you think, but keep in mind this is ranked by 'scary' not by which ones are better films.
Netflix changes the movies that are available on instant view fairly often, so if you notice that one is no longer available please let me know so I can update the list!
Top Ten Scariest Movies on Netflix Instant – Updated May 2013
10. Audition (1999)
Takashi Miike's Audition is not a traditionally 'scary' movie. But it is certainly one of the more effectively disturbing Asian horror films that you'll run across. One scene in particular has been repeatedly referred to as one of the most frightening scenes in horror history. So if you're looking for an unsettling viewing experience, this a great place to start. But I should probably add that this movie is not for those with weak stomachs.
9. Dead End (2003)
Dead End caught me off-guard when I first watched it because it is hardly ever mentioned and seems to be almost entirely overlooked. Instead of a standard, bland horror film (like the poster may lead you to believe), it is a psychological horror packed with frights. It's best to go into it knowing as little about the story as possible, and let it catch you by surprise.
8. The Evil Dead (1981)
An absolute cult classic and the first in a trilogy. The Evil Dead has more horror elements to it and wasn't saturated in dark comedy like the later two, so it certainly does have creepy elements. The atmosphere is powerful (which comes a lot from the setting), and the saturation of eerie elements adds up to quite the scary film. Personally, Linda's laugh always gets to me.
7. Pontypool (2008)
Pontypool provides tension that is rarely seen in modern horror films. The concept is mind-blowing. If you really let the concept sink in and you spend a little time thinking about it, it can be a deeply terrifying idea. It's a bit of surrealism, a bit of zombies, and just enough depth to keep your brain working for awhile afterwards.
6. The Omen (1976)
The Omen is well known not only among horror fans, but just about everyone. Most people with any interest in the genre have seen it. If you haven't, this is another one of those superbly atmospheric films. There's an incredible use of shadows and a deceivingly innocent villain. On top of that, the psychological aspects allow for the viewer's own beliefs to compound the terror.
5. The House of the Devil (2009)
This next film continues right on with the atmosphere trend (can you tell I prefer it greatly to cheap scares?). The House of the Devil is a superb film by director Ti West that mimics the look and feel of 70's and early 80's horror. It's a very slow build, but be patient, because once it gets going it doesn't let up. The use of a steadily mounting sense of dread that comes to a fast-paced, intense finale gives The House of the Devil the ability to stick with you for a long while after it's over.
4. Nosferatu (1922)
Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere. A perfect example and by far the creepiest portrayal of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' is Nosferatu. This German silent film is one of the most important foundations for horror, and to this day still eerie as hell. Although it might be a difficult watch for viewers who aren't familiar with silent films, it is an absolute essential.
3. Hellraiser (1987)
If there's been too much atmosphere and not enough gore for you up until this point, Hellraiser will fix that. That being said, there is still enough tension built into the story that it will stick with you long after the credits roll. It wouldn't exactly be fair to include several of the sequels on this list, but many of them are also available. Check out the first three at least.
2. Rosemary's Baby (1968)
Rosemary's Baby comes out high on the list in suspense, atmosphere, tension, and all of the elements that make a film scary. It's psychological, with very little actually 'shown'. The basic emotion and subtext of the film is that there is nothing more threatening than what is inside you (literally or figuratively). In my opinion, that applies to a horror film's ability to scare you. When it comes down to it, your own imagination can frighten you more than anything you can be shown on screen (and if that's not true, you need to do imagination exercises).
1. The Thing (1982)
John Carpenter's sci-fi horror masterpiece, The Thing, has some of the most frightening visuals ever created in film. For this and many other reasons, it often is recognized as one of the greatest horror films of all time. It's also one of the scariest. It attacks safe zones, creates a feeling of isolation, and combines the right visual effects to create a truly horrifying movie even in this current time period of over-saturation of horror.

Evll Dead 1-2 plus Army of Darkness are my Bruce Campbell's favorites. George A. Romero is the Godfather of Zombie movies and You couldn't get me to watch The Exorcist ever again if you paid me. Don't know why I just can't watch it again.
May 10, 2012 at 11:19 am
I'd PAY to watch The Exorcist again, of course I was too young to see it in theaters…in fact I was some negative years old.
July 1, 2012 at 4:10 am
Now missing on Netflix (at least in the U.S.) –
Night of the Living DeadI would highly recommend Insidious, the Paranormal Activity movies, Ju-On 2, Ju-On White Ghost/Black Ghost, White, A Tale of Two Sisters, and Funny Games.
July 2, 2012 at 7:23 am
Thanks for that update! It's a shame they took those down… A Tale of Two Sisters is a great recommendation if that's on instant.
July 14, 2012 at 8:47 pm
I'm a fan of silent films, especially horror and nosferatu is def my favorite…but it says 1929 in the title and nosferatu was released in 1922. just a heads up :)
July 27, 2012 at 7:08 pm
Not yet there isn't. I hadn't realized so many of these films are no longer available. I will get to work on an updated Top Ten Scariest Films on Netflix Instant list right away. So subscribe or sign up with us and you'll see it as soon as it goes up!

I love it when I have an original idea ten months after someone else . . . lol Great idea to spread it around to different themes (Scariest, Most Disturbing). I'll probably think of doing that myself next October. I'm putting a link up to this site to keep an eye on what you've been watching. BTW, love the site design. Lots of great content, lots of nifty tools and gadgets.
December 19, 2012 at 9:10 am
Lol well coming up with something that no one else has done is really difficult. Your list is diverse so I certainly dig it. Thanks for the kind words!
February 1, 2013 at 12:04 am
Well done figuring out how to write about Pontypool without giving anything away. I've tiptoed around that many times. Scarecrows is a nice catch, too. That one even flew under a lot of genre fans' radars. I've had an HD copy of Rosemary's Baby for a while now, but haven't had an opportunity to watch it.
My good friend Adrienne, who I spend just about every evening with, is six weeks from having her first baby. I just can't allow myself to let her watch it now. She's what prompted the "Pregnant Pause" post on the Dog Farm, too. She's never seen Inside and really wants to, but I'm damn sure not going to let her see that right now. XD
March 30, 2013 at 2:19 pm
That depends on what you find scary. I prefer atmosphere and tension. Some people might just consider that creepy, but it all depends on personal preference. Give them a shot and let us know what you think!
May 11, 2013 at 8:37 pm
Dead End is a nice catch. I'm glad at least two of us have seen it. Ray Wise is freakin' awesome.
July 6, 2013 at 3:37 pm
If The Woman is available on Netflix Instant at the moment then that's a great suggestion. Thanks!
July 11, 2013 at 7:22 pm
Love your site! Audition is no longer available for instant view on Netflix. Just a heads up :)
July 12, 2013 at 6:47 am
Thank you :) And thanks for the heads up! I need to update both this list and the most disturbing on netflix list soon.
August 2, 2013 at 6:41 am

ATEC pitching machines are ideal machines for getting your baseball acts right. They work well for both, individual players and teams. As the pitching machine is an appliance, the mechanism can be set as per the player's convenience. Younger players highly benefit from these machines as they help in discovering true potential with time. These pitching machines are the best way for teaching the players various ways of batting and shielding each ball as per the speeds set by them.

Essential Softball Equipments
Playing baseball or softball during the season of spring is an exceptional feeling in its own. The sales of softball and baseball equipments are on rise during this season. One must purchase softball and baseball equipments keeping the purpose of it in mind. Equipments should be bought according to the position of play in the game. Pitching machines are not required if you or your child have joined a club or a team, as these machines are already installed there. However, if you plan to play in your backyard, you certainly do need to buy pitching machines as they help enhance your batting.
Protect Your Plumbing
The home is an incredibly complex thing, important in many ways to the residents who live in it. Perhaps the most important parts of the home, however, are found in the infrastructure of the building, involving things like plumbing and electrical systems. Without these infrastructures, it would be impossible for people to live in the kind of luxury they are used to in the 21st century. Much of our lives depend largely on these systems, to keep everything running smoothly. For that reason, making sure that your plumbing system is functioning appropriately and does not have any problems is one of the most important things a homeowner could do for his home. And if you are looking for competent plumbers Vancouver has many to offer.
Heating Repairs: Why and From Which Company You Should Get Repairs Done ?
In order to be comfortable and remain warm during scathing cold of winter you need to ensure that your heating equipment is functioning efficiently. If it is not working well, you should not delay in finding yourself a good and experienced technician to fix it up. When you hire a good technician you will be at peace because he will be able to restore your comfort.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ike!
Facts about Ike
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Ike's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Ike is about 2 years old and weighs 10 lbs. He was rescued from a shelter along with his friend, Mike. He is an adorable little guy and is very friendly. He is also a very happy dog and always has a smile on his face. Ike loves people and is happiest when he is close to you and espcially likes being a lap dog! If you are looking for a special little friend, Mike is waiting for you!
Other Pets at Save a Spot Dalmatian Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ike, a Turlock Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Turlock, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) dog from a breeder in Turlock.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Turlock already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Turlock breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Turlock paves the way for another one to be saved.

Citing unnamed news sources and local analysts, China Post reports that Acer is planning to hold a launch party for the 8-inch Iconia W3 tablet in New York on May 3, an event which it says will also see CEO Wang Jeng-tang and corporate president Jim Wong introduce Intel's Haswell chipset (the successor to the Ivy Bridge CPU) and other new Acer products.
The source adds that the Iconia W3 is likely to appear at the Computex exhibition in Taipei, Taiwan this June while Singapore-based tech website, The Tech Revolutionist, claims that the model could hit retail stores in September.
Purported photos and specs leaked on the Iconia W3 earlier this week, with French-language website Minimachines reporting that the Windows 8 tablet has a 1.8GHz dual-core Atom Z2760, 2GB of RAM and front and rear cameras.
Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi admits that she was unaware of an upcoming launch for Acer's latest tablet addition, but says that a forthcoming announcement would make sense — so long as the model is priced to compete with Android.
"It seems to make sense given the new support for smaller form factors that Windows Blue will allow," said Milanesi. "From a price point [of view], anything over $399 would not work. Ideally, they should match the $199 Android [starting] price but that would be hard, so $299 to $349 is where I think they should come in."
Acer refused to comment on the speculation and emailed TabTimes to say that it "doesn't comment on unannounced products".
Adding further to the intrigue and China Post, which is a reputable source for news (if not necessarily tablet rumors) in the country, says that Acer and Asus are among the manufacturers preparing to release new low-end Android tablets later in 2013.
The newspaper expects both vendors to reveal more information on these new devices at some point next month.

The real Megatron wasn't paid a dime. He just crushed stuff.
Detroit's Megatron crushes defensive backs, and he's now paid quite handsomely with an extension that will keep him with the Lions for the rest of his prime years. Johnson has agreed to a seven-year contract extension worth $132 million, with a record $60 million guaranteed.
That's the most guaranteed money ever, more than Larry Fitzgerald's $50 million, and Johnson is now the highest-paid player in the NFL.
The deal was officially announced on the Lions' team website, and a press conference will be held today at 1 p.m. ET.
Next fall Johnson would have entered the final year of his rookie contract, a scenario that simply wasn't going to happen. If you think this contract is enough to buy several small countries, then consider how much Johnson's value on the open market could have escalated with one more year of typical Megatron production. He was the only receiver to average over 100 receiving yards per game during the regular season (105.1), which led to an easy lead in overall yards (1,681). He also had 32 receptions for 20 yards or more, 10 for at least 40, and 16 touchdowns.
Those are the numbers of a freakish athlete who's more than deserving of being the highest-paid player in the game, but the cost for Detroit comes in more than just monetary terms. The Lions let Eric Wright walk and join the dash to Tampa Bay while they finalized this massive extension for Johnson that will keep him in the Motor City until 2019 when he's 34 years old.
While the offense lit its fireworks and Matthew Stafford's chemistry with Johnson continued to grow, the secondary became Detroit's downfall, a weakness that was particularly glaring during the Lions' playoff loss to New Orleans when the Saints scored 45 points, and Drew Brees threw for 466 yards and three touchdowns. Without Wright, that weakness will grow, and it'll keep subtracting from Johnson's brilliance, partially minimizing the substantial investment Detroit made today in their two-time All Pro.
But defensive deficiencies could now be addressed elsewhere in free agency, moves made possible by Johnson's extension. Prior to this deal he was set to account for $22 million of Detroit's payroll in 2012, which is roughly five percent of the $120.6 million salary cap tied up in one player.
Now that number has decreased by $9 million, money that could be used to keep linebacker Stephen Tulloch.
