What can we do about community manager burnout?In the run up to World Mental Health Day Julie Delaforce argues businesses need to give more backup to community managers or risk burnout. Do you know what happens when you're in the middle of giving birth and your midwife's shift finishes? She goes home. The same is true for almost any professional whose work operates 24/7. Yet in the world of community and social media management managers lament that they are "always on", "the job never ends", and "the Internet doesn't sleep".
'Does Social Media advertising work?' makes very little sense as a question. Now it's been answeredIn this guest post Simon Veksner argues social media has well and truly proven itself as an advertising channel. Not long ago, it was quite common for marketers to question whether social media advertising "works". It's actually a bit of a strange question, if you think about it.
Fighting a new wave of ad-fraud: how to recognise ghost sites?So-called ghost sites are part of a new wave of fraudulent websites argues Timothy Whitfield. How do marketers and agencies spot and avoid them? If I needed money for a new kidney then I would get into ad-fraud! It's lucrative, easy and completely legal.
Creating an 'Innovation Economy' will be an evolution, not a revolutionIn this guest post Sam Court argues Australia's bid to become an innovation hub will need a mindshift from everyone about what innovation really is. If Australia truly wants to become a global hub for innovation, we need to not only look at funding mechanisms for high-risk start-ups, but also at giving better incentives for established brands to make calculated investments.
No wonder Big Coal say they're losing the PR battleIn this guest post Tony Jaques argues the mining industry doesn't need to fight a losing PR battle but rather needs a targeted issue management strategy. The Australian coal boss of the world's largest mining company has warned that the industry is losing the PR battle against environmental activists who are trying to shut down fossil fuels.
Who won the social media battle between AFL and NRL?With the AFL and NRL grand finals taking place over the weekend Claire Waddington looks at which code won the battle for social media attention. Like many great rivalries – Coke or Pepsi, Uber or taxis, Netflix or Stan – shifts in popular opinion muddy the debate, but according to media intelligence agency, Isentia, there was a clear winner in the longstanding AFL or NRL tug-of-war over the weekend.
It's time for agencies to cut the shit and embrace the hybridAgencies need to start embracing people with across-the-board experience in advertising rather than siloed specialists to become sustainable argues Andrew Cornale. Coming from a diverse digital background, I've been in a number of different agencies (creative, advertising and marketing) and have seen how they operate. Some experiences were good, some not so good but one thing that I picked up is that the industry is filled with so much bullshit, it's unbelievable.
Three steps to growing your agency without destroying its soul
In this guest post Ryan Bonnici outlines three steps most agencies can take towards sustainable growth.
Most owners of growing agencies are pretty focused on generating as much new business as their agency can handle.
With a growing whip-smart team and the promise of a long-awaited payday, shiny new client opportunities are the things that dreams are made of. But have you ever had a massive client opportunity come your way that didn't quite feel right?
Behind #BieberIsland: How one of the biggest marketing events of 2015 came togetherJustin Bieber's concert on Cockatoo Island brought together media companies and brands for one of the largest marketing exercises of the year. Nic Christensen looks at how the whole collaboration was activated in three weeks. There's nothing that can adequately summarise the piercing sounds the "Beliebers" - in this case a group of 1,000 teenage girls - make when they scream in unison. Needless to say Bieber fans are exceptionally loud, but on the plus side there's no public rioting - this time.
Has Woolies found its voice?
In this guest post Matt Robinson argues the success and reach of Woolworths' social interaction yesterday proves more big brands need to align their social and marketing tones.
The story of the gradual erosion of Australia's biggest supermarket chain is not a new one. From the once mighty Fresh Food People, to now seeing rapidly declining favourability scores and tales that show some cultural challenges as well, Woolworths are having a tough time of it.
Australia is beating Silicon Valley on women in techIn this guest post Nathan Elvery argues Australian tech companies lead the way in breaking the glass ceiling for women in the sector. A recent media narrative has slammed tech companies for their appalling record on women and demonstrated how Australia takes more than its fair share of this problem. What's been missed altogether from the narrative is the Australian tech companies that are world-leaders in this space, which provides a cause for optimism amongst the understandable hand-wringing.
Kiis boss hints at Melbourne shake up as Hamish and Andy make inroadsHamish and Andy have made some big inroads for the Hit Network in their first full ratings survey, leading rivals to claim this will be their peak. Nic Christensen talks to content bosses at Nova, ARN and SCA about today's results and looks at what impact the shake up in having on the overall radio market. Say what you want about the rise of Hamish and Andy one thing is clear: the bravado of their rivals Nova and ARN has quietly evaporated. So much so it's got Kiis bosses looking at their Melbourne lineup for next year after a disastrous survey 6 in the Victorian capital.
Uber now needs to move beyond disruption and start working with regulatorsWhile Uber is disrupting the private car industry, there's a difference between disruptive and illegal, says Liza McDonald. Just who are the winners and losers in Australia's fast growing private hire car market is yet to be revealed following yesterday's revelation the NSW government had suspended 40 individuals who are driving under the UberX banner.
PR professionals say that coming clean is the only way VW might be able to save itselfAutomotive giant Volkswagen has seen millions of dollars wiped off its brand value since it emerged that it had faked emissions tests in the US. Mumbrella's Miranda Ward asked public relations professionals how the company should move forward in its attempts to try to save its brand. PR professionals are agreed on one thing - Volkswagen, once synonymous with quality amongst consumers, is facing the biggest crisis in its history thanks to its emissions scandal. But what they don't agree about is how to save the brand.
Barnardos' Irene Saunders: How can an agency be an expert if they're just briefed by a client?Former CommsCon publicist of the year Irene Saunders is senior publicist for Barnardos Australia. Mumbrella's Miranda Ward spoke to Saunders about the pros and cons of working clientside compared to an agency. What attracted you to working in-house as opposed to working for an agency?

Charlene's Colony of Shoppes is "charmlicious"! My sister-in-law, Brenda, and I went on a road trip Saturday to Halls, Tennessee, and we had a "charmlicious" time!
Charlene's Colony of Shoppes has THE most charming tea room (Just Divine Tea Room), AND they serve REALLY delicious food!
The tea room was originally the Hales Point Baptist Church and School, which held it's first church service in 1950. The church had been inactive for several years when it was purchased and moved to it's present location in three sections in 1998.
Of course, I had a difficult time looking at the menu, because the Just Divine Tea Room has some wonderful treasures for sale in each of their cozy little dining rooms.
There is a cross-stitched tablecloth on each table. I'm tellin' ya, the charm is everywhere!
And so is the deliciousness! One reason we decided to go this past weekend is that this was the 25th anniversary of Charlene's Colony of Shoppes, so there were a lot of sales (and you know how much I love a sale!). In addition to the bargains, Charlene's was serving this delicious chocolate and strawberry cake, which was in a charming gazebo. Don't you think that is just Charmlicious?
There is a huge gift shop;
and a ladies clothing store,
And all of them are charming and all of them are filled with charming treasures, and there is delicious food to be eaten. Now THAT is CHARMLICIOUS!
I'm sure you can understand why we spent the entire day at Charlene's, and I'm sure you can see why we had such a charmlicious time! I hope you can also see why I had to invent a new word just to describe our fun!
(Sorry, I got a little carried away with my new word!)
~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~
Last Thursday, I posted pictures of my "Ladies Only" plates. Several readers asked where I got them. Unfortunately, I have had them for 4 or 5 years, and I purchased them at different times in different stores (depending on what store had them on sale!). Some were purchased when Steinmart had a sale; some when T. J. Max had a sale, and some were purchased at Tuesday Morning. This is what is on the back of them: "The Sakura Table-Ad Lines-Stoneware Made in Indonesia".
MOSAICS: When I posted some "mosaics" this past Monday, I was surprised that some visitors asked what program I used. I use "Photoscape" for almost everything I do to my photos. The other bloggers who are posting mosaics, are using some other program, and I think their mosaics are so much nicer than what I can get by using Photoscape. I've just played with Photoscape so much that I kind of know my way around their site, so I haven't attempted a mosaic on other sites. As you can see from this post, I'm still playing with Photoscape. I do use "Big Huge Labs" when I am adding speech bubbles to my photos, but I haven't been able to figure out how to transport my pictures to their mosaic section.
MY HOME: When I began this blog, I didn't plan to do a lot of posting about my home, because I didn't want to run off my visitors. There are such wonderful blogs, authored by REAL decorators/designers, and we DO want to see photos of their decor. I do not know anything about design. I am just a collector (of almost everything), and my home is cluttered with collections. After I re-posted my toile bedroom, some of my visitors requested that I show more of my home!! (I know, I was shocked too!) My good friend, Connie, who doesn't have a blog, has made several requests that I do a posting of my family room. I felt that pictures of my Christmas and other holiday decor had probably given my readers more than they wanted to see of my home. However, since some of my blog visitors apparently are interested in seeing where I live, I will begin to occasionally share some photos of my home. (Of course, they have no idea what they are asking for). Before I post my home, I feel I need to post a disclaimer...Posting pictures of my home does NOT imply that I think there is anything worth seeing, and I know that I have too much clutter in my home, and it does no good to tell me I need to declutter (RMS readers already tried!).
Thanks so much for coming to visit me, and thank you for your lovely comments. (I'm still amazed that anyone reads this little blog-but I'm especially amazed at how kind all of you are!) . laurie

Working to redefine the way luxury lighting is conceived and made, Terzani has been combining traditional Italian craftsmanship with modern technology since it was founded in Florence in 1972. Sergio Terzani's original vision was to create handmade lighting that blurs the lines between art, luxury and design. The resulting pieces are sculptural and beautiful, upholding longstanding traditions of metal and glass work, with a meticulous eye for design detail. Sergio's son, Nicolas Terzani, joined the company as CEO and, with input from his father, has continued to innovate with the creation of the Terzani Lab, where new lighting ideas can be developed and tested. While many of the designs are created in-house by Terzani's experienced design team, they also collaborate with renowned designers like Dodo Arlsan, Nigel Coates, Maurizio Galante and Christian Lava, Studio 14 and Luca Martorano + Mattia Albicini.
Terzani has developed three distinct collections, each expressing a different approach to this signature combination of traditional handcraftsmanship and technical innovation. For the "Memory" collection, Sergio Terzani enlisted the help of renowned Parisian designer Jean-Francois Crochet. Using traditional materials like iron, wood and scavo glass, Crochet's lighting collection is warm and inviting, offering a unique bridge from the past to the present. The Terzani "Design" collection expresses the company's commitment to innovation – it merges the artisan traditions that define Terzani with cutting-edge technological advances. The resulting pieces are fresh, unique and push established boundaries. Finally, "Precious" truly elevates lighting design to an art form. It uses rare and precious materials in startling and innovative ways to create luxurious heritage light sculptures that define new traditions in Italian handcraftsmanship. With these collections – and Terzani's commitment to continued innovation – it's clear that Terzani has succeed in its brand mission of staying rooted in past artisan traditions while continuing to create new lighting directions for the future.

How I Play Golfby Tiger Woods
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The techniques explained in this golf instruction book do not reveal Tiger Woods' own predilections, but how he took care to make it a guide for everyone, men or women, young or old, tall or short. The book starts at the green and works backwards — just the way Tiger learned.
"Very few sports figures have accomplished as much as Woods has already achieved at age 25. He has been named 'Sportsman of the Year' by Sports Illustrated twice; he has won more than 30 professional tournaments; and he's the youngest player to win the Grand Slam four of the major pro championships. Despite his many commercials and product endorsements, Woods is one of the rare athletes who isn't overplayed in the media. Unlike many other sports stars, Woods plays and wins quietly. That may explain why this instructional book will reach far beyond the links....Accompanied by wonderful photos, the book reads as if Woods is right there with the golfer, providing instructions." Publishers Weekly
Since turning pro after a short stint at Stanford University, no one athlete has dominated their sport as Tiger Woods has dominated the world of golf. His list of achievements and championships would fill pages.
But how does he do it? In HOW I PLAY GOLF, Tiger talks about his drives, his putting, his chip shots, his mental approach to the game, and much more more. This is the complete instructional on how Tiger plays the game of golf, with fabulous color photos, and slow-motion photography in included bonus PDFs.
Tiger shares his thoughts on what he calls the game for a lifetime. He reveals the five secrets he believes are responsible for his success — a combination of physical, metaphysical, and psychological practices he uses daily to keep his game in top shape and to help him to transcend all the ups and downs of golf.
Not many can play golf as well as Tiger does, but at least we can hear how we can try to improve our game. This one singular volume contains all the golf instruction that anyone would ever need.
For the first time, champion Tiger Woods reveals the five secrets to his amazing success--a combination of physical, metaphysical and psychological practices he uses daily to keep his game in top shape. Photos.
About the Author

He is the career victories leader among active players on the PGA tour.

A quiet hangs over Toyota Park. A grey monochrome colors the morning sky and a slushy snow blankets the ground. It's winter in Chicago.
Behind the brick façade and deep in the bowels, a solitary figure works diligently to make-ready one of Toyota Park's most renowned features – the field. It's been 99 days since the Toyota Park pitch saw action and Toyota Park Turf Manager Eric Adkins has #cf97withdrawals.
Only 30 days until Opening Night at Toyota Park.
Don't worry, Eric and his crew will have the pitch ready.
Very few people have meant as much to the soccer scene in Chicago as Frank Klopas.
Tonight Dave Kaplan goes in depth with the Fire manager to talk how he came to The Windy City and learn more about his intertwining soccer story with the Sting, U.S. Men's National Team, AEK Athens and of course the Fire over the past 30 years "Inside Look" (7:00pm CT on CSN Chicago).
CSNChicago.com's Len Ziehm previews the show here.
Preseason is always a lot of work and a lot of fun.
One of the best parts though is the ongoing saga of number choice throughout camp as players leave, new players come in.
Fire forward Chris Rolfe re-launched his dormant Twitter account (aptly named @ChrisRolfe17) last week to ask Fire supporters their thoughts on his switching back to #17.
Rolfe had worn the number through his first five seasons with the Fire but when he re-joined the side last April, Mexican legend Pavel Pardo had it.
"There was no need to try and shift things around then," Rolfe told Chicago-Fire.com. "While 18 was good for me last year I thought that it would be a good idea to switch back to 17 when it became available."
With Pardo's retirement announcement last month, the opportunity arose and the league recently approved Rolfe's change back to the numerals with which he's scored 40 of his 48 Fire goals across all competitions.
Check out the impromptu and sort of awesome video of the first new "Rolfe 17" jersey being pressed by Assistant Equipment Manager Allan Araujo below...
NOTE: All-Time Fire #17s: Andrew Lewis, (1998-2001), Aleksey Korol (2002), Dipsy Selolwane (2002-2004), Rolfe (2005-2009), Davis Paul (2011), Pavel Pardo (2011-12), Rolfe (2013- )
Kinney's Switch
With the #18 left vacant, renaissance Fire defender Steven Kinney jumped at the opportunity to switch from #28.
"My whole life I had been #18," said Kinney. "Coming here the first year Mike Banner had it and through all my injuries I wasn't going to be switching numbers. Then Rolfie came in and had it last year but when I heard him talk about switching to 17 I knew it was time to make my move.
Asked why #18 had always been his number, Kinney said, "It's always just felt lucky for me. I would have done anything to get my hands on it."
To be fair, he didn't have to do too much.
NOTE: All-Time Fire #18s: Zach Thornton (1998-2004), Matt Pickens, (2005-2007), Mike Banner (2008-2010), Gaston Puerari (2011), Chris Rolfe (2012)
Stay tuned later this week for more updates on Fire squad numbers heading into 2013.
WATCH: Rolfe #17 is BACK!
A quick update on unsigned players currently with the team in Ventura, Calif...

James Belshaw – GK – Supplemental Draft
Alec Kann – GK – Trialist
Neal Kitson – GK – Trialist
John Gallagher – DF – Supplemental Draft
Rauwshan McKenzie – DF – Trialist
Yazid Atouba – MF – SuperDraft Pick

Caleb Konstanski – DF – Supplemental Draft Pick
Eric Robertson – DF – Trialist
Trialist #1 - MF - Trialist
New Trialists for Phase Two
Blake Brettschneider; Forward (D.C. United, New England Revolution)
If it seems like you just saw Brettschneider, that's because he was on trial with the Crew, playing against the Fire in last Wednesday's friendly. The South Carolina alum has made a habit of earning a spot on an MLS rosters in preseason, impressing D.C. United (2011) and New England Revolution (2012).
Like Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson, Brettschneider is also from Lilburn, Ga. and attended rival high school Parkview High School
Dailos Tejera; Forward (Conquense; Spanish Tercera Division)
A 22-year-old midfielder/forward that played in the Spanish second division with Conquense before being relegated after the 2011-12 season.
Kevin Mercado; Forward (LDU Quito; Ecuador)
One of two players on trial from LDU Quito, Mercado is an 18-year-old forward who made it into five matches during LDU's 2012 campaign in Ecuador.
Jose Alexander Pabon Midfielder (LDU Quito; Ecuador)
The other trialist from LDU Quito, the 21-year-old Pabon has been with the club's first team since 2010, appearing in 13 matches in midfield.
There are also two other new trialists that for discovery reasons will remain unnamed… Call them Trialist #3 and Trialist #4.
Good evening from Ventura, Calif. where the first team escaped the snow of Chicago Saturday morning to begin Phase Two of 2013 Training Camp.
After arriving at our beach-side hotel, the team quickly ate and changed before heading to Oxnard Community College for a little over an hour long training session.
Notes from today:
- The long-rumored trade that would send forward Dominic Oduro to Columbus in exchange for Dilly Duka seems to have happened according to both players Twitter accounts and multiple reports. Oduro is not in Fire camp and Duka tweeted Saturday that he was headed to join the team in California. Expect an official announcement Monday.
- The Daily Herald's Orrin Schwarz also added a significant rub to the trade: the Fire will also reportedly gain the MLS rights to out-of-contract U.S. international Robbie Rogers.
- 2012 Fire Defender of the Year Arne Friedrich trained with the team for the first time after being allowed to take extra time off while the side was in Ave Maria, Fla.
- After flying from Norway all day Friday, new signing Brendan King also trained for the first time.
- It was good to see midfielder Patrick Nyarko do some light ball work off to the side as he continues his comeback following a grueling 2012 campaign.
- Defender Hunter Jumper and forward Maicon Santos did not train with the team Saturday. Jumper pulled up lame in Wednesday's friendly vs. Columbus while Santos was unavailable for selection in the match after suffering an injury in the days leading up to the game.
- New trialists have arrive in camp. A full list will be published on Chicago-Fire.com in the coming days.
That's it for Saturday's notes... Take in some photos from training:
Throughout preseason, your favorite Fire players will give you a first-hand, behind the scenes look at what actually goes down at training camp. This installment is brought to you by Fire defender Gonzalo Segares. Now entering his ninth season with the Fire, Segares shares his veteran methods of handling the inevitable downtime that comes with preseason training camp. Make sure to check www.Chicago-Fire.com for all the action as the Fire kick off their 16th season.
Hello my amigos from the Chicago Fire. It's now time for me to tell you guys a little of what's happening on and off the field for me and my teammates.
We had our first preseason match on Sunday and the atmosphere was great. After a long time without competing in a game, it was great to get back on the field and kick some people. It's been quite a while since I've played against someone other than my teammates, so it was good to get in some tackles and battles.
It's been good to see the new faces working hard, competing and adapting well with the group.
Off the field there has been a lot of down time so I have been playing a lot of Halo in between practices. I'm trying not to nap during the day so I can go to bed early, so I'm usually on the computer, on the phone or transformed as a soldier, killing aliens on Halo.
It's been nice here in Florida but I'm excited to go back to Chicago for a few days and spend the days off with my wife (it's weird to say wife but I guess I have to get used to it) and have a nice romantic dinner and maybe watch a movie with her. I don't think I'll enjoy the cold weather but at least I will be at home with my family.
See you all soon and go Fire!
Gonzalo Segares
A nice little recap from Thursday's trip to the beach in Naples. This one is for the ladies...
On how things are looking overall and what's been happening down in Ave Maria, Fla.:
"It's very exciting for us to get going after a long preseason. Ave Maria has been a fantastic place for us in past years this is where we get things going for our first phase. Three, four days into it, everyone is upbeat, the attitude from the players has been really good. Our main focus during the first phase, more than anything, is just to get a good base of aerobic fitness. We're working with bigger spaces, bigger numbers and longer duration of time when we're playing and we're doing everything through soccer exercises, soccer specific exercises to build endurance through playing, instead of just running without the ball. So that's the main focus in this first phase. We have a couple practice games that will give us an opportunity to evaluate some of the players, the picks and supplemental guys, that we have here, and really make some decisions and try to only bring players that we feel, not just to add roster spots but really to add guys, even in those supplemental or apprentice spots, that we feel in this environment, in one or two years, can be in a position to help the team. That's mostly the focus in the first phase and obviously the second phase will get more into tactical work and stuff like that. The first phase here in Florida is more to get a good base of aerobic fitness so we can push the guys even more in the second phase. The third phase we'll get more into playing and on a fitness level to play 90 minutes."
On the situation of the left midfield position with the possible move of Alvaro Fernandez:
"Obviously we're always going to be looking at different options but I do feel that within our group we have players that have the flexibility to play different spots. We have Alex that can play the wide spot. You have guys like Chris Rolfe who has played out wide at times, also with Wells Thompson. We're always looking to see if there are opportunities to make our team better but we also feel that we have players with depth in our own team that have the flexibility to play in those spots. That's why I think its important through this preseason, the six weeks that we have the opportunity through games and in training to put players in those roles and see how they gel with the guys. I do feel we have players that can play out there but if there are opportunities that come up within the league or outside we're going to look at those too."
On drafting Caleb Konstanski with the 68th overall pick in the 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft:
"We've seen IU play quite a few times. He was the captain of the national championship team and he brings a lot of leadership qualities. He's a very good athlete. Obviously he needs work technically and with his feet and that's one of the things we want to see as the game speeds up and see if in our training camp he can adapt to that. But he can play multiple roles. He's played in the middle but also in the back and also out wide on the right because he's a good athlete and a competitor. This will give us a good picture when we bring him in. he's arriving today along with the other supplemental picks and will give us a good opportunity to see him in a much higher level and the speed of play is obviously different. We know the kid well, we've talked to his coach, seen him play a lot and the one thing is he's a great athlete and a great competitor and it'll be great to see in this environment how he's able to adapt. That's why this phase is important to have the opportunity to bring in and look at players and make decisions."
On the midfield competition and how Logan Pause's role has been affected by the new acquisitions:
"We felt that that was an area in the midfield that we needed to address and I think we brought some players that have a lot of experience and are very good players in this league. I think they bring something different but that's why everyone is here in camp. We have six weeks now where we've brought quality players in but a lot is going to be decided by what takes place in the next six weeks. WE feel very good with the depth, the competition is very good and the players now, through these practice games, are really going to take the next steps. In these next six weeks, through training and through games, those decisions will be answered for all of us. Obviously, more than anything, the important thing is that we do have depth. Logan is a very good player but we also have other very good players in that spot that provide depth and competition and also have the flexibility to play different roles and positions on different parts of the field.
On the importance of a full preseason for the strike duo of Chris Rolfe and Sherjill MacDonald:
"It's important. I think with the core group we come into it with a very good base with the additions that we made, I think with the guys that we added from within the league the transition is always much easier. When you have guys from the beginning now with six weeks is where you build a lot of continuity. It's important, not only in the first phase but in the second phase, where we'll get into a lot more playing and a lot more tactical work and developing understanding and chemistry, but to have the opportunity from the beginning to continue what we had towards the end of last season, I think that's only going to make things better. I feel good that we have almost the whole group here together starting to work from day one, especially now when you look at last year to now, last year was nine weeks of preseason and this year its six. The first game is right around the corner so the continuity helps a lot."
On which of the trialists and reserve players have impressed early on in training camp:
"It's too early, it's three, four days in. the one thing I can say is that I think everyone has come in, we provided the players with an offseason program with the goal for them to come back and report for day one because obviously they know that there are expectations and our goals are going to be higher, and so are theirs. So I think with that the sacrifices and the work you do and the preparation that you put in has got to increase. Everyone has come in where they should be based on what our fitness coach Tony [Jouaux] gave them in the offseason to work on. The guys are ready. The attitude has been fantastic. It's early on. It's three four days. It's kind of hard for me to tell you right now. Everyone's still going 100 miles per hour but it's a long process and you'll see more as the guys get heavy legs and a little more tired, now the opportunity where you'll see from a mental standpoint who can focus and concentrate. That's been the focus for us from day one that they understand that its' a long process, it's a long season and the work starts from day one. What you do every day is very important for us to be able to reach the goals that we set at the end of the year. We can't let one day go by without a quality training session. We constantly push the guys, we constantly tell them that it's very important that in every drill that we do that they're focused and concentrated. Whether is 60 or 90 minutes, it has to be there in training because that's where you get better. It's not a light switch were you turn it on come game time. It's a process through preseason. it's a process thought the whole week. As a player, the confidence comes because you are prepared to play well. It's early but I can tell you that everyone is very focused, determined, excited and very committed to give everything they have in order for us to reach our goals and that's been fantastic. It's early on but I know it's going to be like that throughout the year because we brought in the kind of players who have a lot of good soccer qualities and are very good players but also have a tremendous attitude, and positive attitude, a winning mentality and more than anything they're honored and proud to be part of this organization."
On the opportunity for Corben Bone to train with Atletico Madrid and how his role changes compared to last year:
"I think a lot of times with players, he graduated from [Generation Adidas] status, sometimes there's a lot of pressure on those players. It's up to Corben. When you see him at practice, he's a kid that has a lot of ability. He's fast, technical, this or that, but that has to translate in a game. I've talked to him many times, myself and the other coaches, to give him a lot of encouragement and to be positive with him. He has to take the opportunities that he gets and make the best of them. He has to be the one to believe in himself and have the confidence because we believe in him. We've always worked with him, always tried to give him the confidence that he needs but maybe right now, graduating from Generation Adidas and not having all that pressure, maybe he's going to come out and not have that pressure on him and with the opportunities can show the quality that he has as a player, the ones that we saw in him. When you do see him in training, he's a player that could be a very good player in this league. Now that has got to translate into real games and he's got to take advantage of the opportunities that he gets."
On bringing in MLS veterans Jeff Larentowicz, Joel Lindpere and Maicon Santos and how they're fitting in with the team:
"It's early but I think they've come in and they've adopted and fit in well really well with the group. I think they're very focused and guys that we knew what we were getting. Obviously they're very good players and have been leaders on their teams and they've come in here and continued to work very hard in training sessions and earned their respect from that side from everyone else. They're very good players and good characters. I think their ability to work very hard and give everything on the field and earn everyone's respect, I think is important and that's what they've done. The transition has been smooth and easy."
Prior to departing for Ave Maria, Fla. Fire Strength and Conditioning coach Tony Jouaux, with help from staff at the University of Illinois-Chicago's Human Performance Lab, put the team through the paces with the VO2 Max Fitness test.
What is the VO2 Max? Well, it tests the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and use oxygen during incremental exercise, which reflects the physical fitness of the individual.
Tony and some of the guys explain more in this video below but if you're wondering who the fittest guy on the team is, SPOILER ALERT, its Logan Pause.

Jennifer Lawrence may have tripped collecting her Oscar last night ... but she still had a pretty incredible evening.
How many other stars can brag about winning a trophy and Jack Nicholson's attention?
While giving a post-show interview, Jack interrupted J-Law's chat with George Stephanopoulos to hit on the "Silver Linings Playbook" star.
And it was awesome.
After telling her she did a "beautiful job" in the movie, he told her she reminded him of one of his old girlfriends.
Jennifer's response was classic and is just another hilarious moment in her A+ awards show tour.
And speaking of Lawrence's outrageous and outspoken awards behavior, check out this moment from the backstage press room after she won her Oscar.
Watch the video below to see what expletive she almost blurted out after tripping on the stairs to the podium ... and see her admit to having a shot before talking to the press.

SAN JOSE, Calif. Syracuse completed a successful two-game NCAA Tournament road trip to the West Coast with another dominating defensive performance Saturday night.
But the Orange will have to do a much better job of offensive execution and free throw shooting if they hope to advance past the Sweet 16 next week.
SUs active 2-3 zone defense made the difference, frustrating No. 12 California all night, as the No. 4 Orange raced out to an early lead then held on for a 66-60 victory at the HP Pavilion in a ragged East Region third round game.
The Orange will face the winner of todays game between No. 1 Indiana and No. 9 Temple in the East Region semifinals on Thursday night at the Verizon Center in Washington, D. C.
Advancing to the schools 17th Sweet 16, the Orange (28-9) limited Californias two leading scorers, Pac-12 Player of the Year Allen Crabbe (8) and Justin Cobbs (6), to a combined 14 points on 5-for-18 shooting. They had been averaging 34 points combined per game this season.
SU won the game at the foul line, taking 41 free throws but making just 26. That included a 22 of 36 effort in the second half when the Golden Bears fouled early and often, forcing the pace of the game to a crawl.
C.J. Fair scored 12 of his 18 points in the first half for SU. James Southerland contributed 14 points and nine rebounds, Michael Carter-Williams had 12 points and reserve center Baye Moussa Keita came up big again off the bench with 11 points and seven rebounds .
Richard Solomon paced California (21-12) with 20 points.
Our defense was as good as its been all year, said SU coach Jim Boeheim, who won his 50th NCAA Tournament game. The offense was sloppy and we missed a lot of free throws. But in this tournament, you take a win any way you can get it.
After taking just five free throws the first half, SU made a concerted effort to get to the foul line the second half.
Coach got on us to go to the basket because the middle was open, said SUs Brandon Triche. And when we got in the bonus that early (5 1/2 minutes into second half), we knew wed be going there a lot the rest of the game.
Boeheim said he told his guards, especially Triche, to stop settling for contested 15-footers and get by their defenders. And almost every time we got fouled. We have been making free throws, but for some reason tonight we struggled.
The Orange defense, however, continued to dominate opponents, holding the Bears to 39 percent shooting and just 4-for-21 on 3-pointers.
California coach Mike Montgomery gave the credit to SU for shutting down his offense. We started the game very tentative against the zone, and really never attacked it like we wanted, he said. They did a great job locating Allen and spreading us out. And when we attacked in the middle, we missed a lot of easy shots.
Said Crabbe: Its a lot different watching the zone on film and playing against it in person. They are long and athletic and they really contested every shot.
Triche said the intent with Crabbe was to force him three or four feet out further than he likes, and make sure he didnt shoot in good rhythm.
Leading 32-24 at halftime, the Orange managed just six field goals the entire second half and went more than 12 minutes without a basket.
But the Orange attacked the basket relentlessly, and the Bears were helpless to stop it.
SU held a double-digit lead much of the second half, and still led 58-45 with 2:25 to play. California got as close as seven points, 60-53, at the 1:06 mark before Carter-Williams fed Keita for a huge dunk.
Keita and Fair both hit a pair of free throws in the final 30 seconds.
Although the Orange were up by eight at halftime, it cost itself a much bigger edge with some sloppy play of its own.
While the Golden Bears turned the ball over nine times in the first 20 minutes, including on seven straight possessions early in the game, SU was guilty of eight turnovers.
California, playing just 45 minutes from home, got seven points from reserve forward Richard Solomon over the final two minutes to help the Bears stay in it at halftime.
It was tough to come all the way across country, and then play a team with a big homecourt advantage, said Boeheim. Now weve got to hop on a plane and go back 3,000 miles, then get on another plane for Washington Tuesday. Thats life in this tournament, and weve seen both sides of it.

Get the ultimate case for your new Samsung Galaxy S4, with the official Samsung S View Cover.
Based on the original brilliant flip covers, the S View Cover brings even more functionality and style to your new S4. This case replaces the battery cover on the S4 and has the same cool hyperglaze finish so you won't be able to tell the difference. An integrated flip-front made from a leather-like material means you get all round protection from scratches and scuffs. It is connected to the back cover so can be flicked open very quickly and easily.
The inside of the flip cover is made using a soft touch finish texture, so it will safeguard the screen from scratched and keep it looking as pristine as the day it left the Samsung factory.
The flip cover has been designed with a neat little cut-out window which allows you to see through to the S4 screen to check the time or your notifications. The cut-out is made from see through plastic which is thin enough so that you can even answer calls without opening the flip front.
Your Samsung Galaxy S4 actually goes into a special mode when the cover is closed- it displays your notifications. You can check the time and date, see if you have any missed calls, emails or messages. If you're playing music through the Samsung music player, it will even tell you which song is playing!
Cleverly, since the phone only needs to activate a small portion of the screen when you are checking your notifications or the time, it consumes less power thus increasing the battery life.
The flip cover also contains small magnets inside which mean that when you flip it open, the phone automatically skips past the lockscreen straight to your homescreen (unless you have a passcode) – a smart time-saving feature.
This genuine Samsung product has been designed and engineered for use solely with the Samsung Galaxy S4.

MASSENA - Two days after the county court judge lectured an Ogdensburg woman when she tested postive for drug use during her arraignment on a second-degree burglary count in St. Lawrence County Court she was found in illegal possession of prescription drugs in Massena.
Village police charged Ashley E. Pike, 27, of 221 Denny St., Ogdensburg, with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance at 3:26 p.m. Thursday. She was arraigned by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $1,000 cash or $2,000 bond.
Police said they had been called to the area of the Massena Wal-Mart for a report of a domestic dispute. Pike and Everett Dibble III were reportedly were engaged in a physical altercation on Urban Drive at state Route 37. Village police said they encountered the couple in the vicinity of the Verizon store off state Route 37, across the four-lane highway from Wal-Mart.
Police said during the stop, which also included a shoplifting investigation, Pike consented to a search of her purse, where police found vials of two controlled substances: klonopin, a narcotic used to treat seizure disorders and panic disorder, and suboxone, a narcotic used to treat opiate addiction. Pike claimed the vials belonged to Mr. Dibble, and said she did not know they were in her purse.
Pike had tested positive for marijuana use Tuesday during a court appearance before St. Lawrence County Court Judge Jerome J. Richards on a second-degree burglary count.
Massena-based state police had chargedPike and Lashawn J. Whitfield, 40, of 834 Ford St., Ogdensburgwith second-degree burglary on Jan. 18 stemming from a complaint made to troopers at 6:05 p.m. Jan. 12 from the town of Massena.
Pike, in her statement to police, said she and Whitfield had been visiting her sister on the Stanton Road on the day of the burglary. She said during their conversation her sister noted her next door neighbor had moved into the nursing home a couple months earlier and wondered aloud whether there was anything valuable in the house.
She said a short time later she joined Whitfield when he went to the neighbors residence, grabbing a pillow and a hammer from her sisters residence. She said Whitfield made the porch light inoperable, broke the glass on a door and entered the residence. She said he took a small black jewelry box from the home and sold some of the burglary proceeds, including a white gold plain band ring and a yellow gold opal ring, to Peets Jewelers for $123. Those two rings were recovered from the jewelry store.

To upgrade MySQL on Windows, follow these steps:
Review Section 2.19.1, "Upgrading MySQL", for additional information on upgrading MySQL that is not specific to Windows.
You should always back up your current MySQL installation before performing an upgrade. See Section 7.2, "Database Backup Methods".
Download the latest Windows distribution of MySQL from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/.
Before upgrading MySQL, you must stop the server. If the server is installed as a service, stop the service with the following command from the command prompt:
NET STOP MySQL
If you are not running the MySQL server as a service, use mysqladmin to stop it. For example, before upgrading from MySQL 4.1 to 5.0, use mysqladmin from MySQL 4.1 as follows:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 4.1\bin\mysqladmin" -u root shutdown
If the MySQL
root user account has a
password, you need to invoke mysqladmin
with the
-p option and enter the password
when prompted.
Before upgrading to MySQL 5.0 from a version previous to 4.1.5, or from a version of MySQL installed from a Zip archive to a version of MySQL installed with the MySQL Installation Wizard, you must first manually remove the previous installation and MySQL service (if the server is installed as a service).
To remove the MySQL service, use the following command:
C:\mysql\bin\mysqld --remove
If you do not remove the existing service, the MySQL Installation Wizard may fail to properly install the new MySQL service.
If you are using the MySQL Installation Wizard, start the wizard as described in Section 126.96.36.199, "Using the MySQL Installation Wizard".
If you are installing MySQL from a Zip archive, extract the
archive. You may either overwrite your existing MySQL
installation (usually located at
C:\mysql), or install it into a different
directory, such as
C:\mysql5. Overwriting
the existing installation is recommended.
If you were running MySQL as a Windows service and you had to remove the service earlier in this procedure, reinstall the service. (See Section 126.96.36.199, "Starting MySQL as a Windows Service".)
Restart the server. For example, use NET START MySQL if you run MySQL as a service, or invoke mysqld directly otherwise.
As Administrator, run mysql_upgrade to check your tables, attempt to repair them if necessary, and update your grant tables if they have changed so that you can take advantage of any new capabilities. See Section 4.4.9, "mysql_upgrade — Check Tables for MySQL Upgrade".
If you encounter errors, see Section 2.10.5, "Troubleshooting a MySQL Installation Under Windows".
|Posted by Stuart Chase on April 21 2005 3:28pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
If you do forget to remove the service. Especially when uninstalling and installing a fresh copy.
Goto regedit in:
Find mysql and delete. Reboot to take effect in services manager.
|Posted by Pornsak Puttaracha on August 15 2005 9:30am
|[Delete] [Edit]
"sc delete mysql" will delete the service and update the list without having to reboot the machine.
Note that the "sc" command was introduced in Windows XP.
|Posted by Gene Scharmann on October 23 2005 1:43pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
The 'sc delete mysql' is also available in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit. (Not only XP)
|Posted by Bob Savard on January 6 2006 11:29pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
This may seem obvious, but:
Step 6 says to overwrite your existing MySQL install, but if
you do, you'll overwrite any security changes you may have made to the mysql database (most probably the user and db tables). So only overwrite them if you know you haven't made any changes to that database.
|Posted by Mike Hebblethwaite on January 8 2006 7:12pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
You do not need to uninstall the service
Simply change the my.ini file in C:\windows\my.ini
Then copy the new mysqld-nt.exe to the oldversion/bin/ folder.
Change the line basedir=C:/apache/mysql to
for example or whatever you called the new folder.
Leave the data folder path the same if you want
datadir=C:/apache/mysql/data or
datadir=C:/apache/newversion/data if you want a new mysql without any data in it.
That way if the new version makes new issues for you (errors) just change the my.ini path back to the old version's folder.
In simple terms there is no need to change your data folder and so you keep all the info and users data safe.
Updating the mysql_fix_privilege_tables is still the same problem for us though.
|Posted by Jacob Nikom on January 19 2007 11:32pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
If during windows installation MySQL server refuses
to be connected to try to do the following:
1. Check that the MySQL server is running
->ControlPanel->Administrative Tools->Component Services->Services(local)
2. Use the client command without password:
"C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.1\bin\mysql" -u root
By default MySQL installation creates the following privileges:
mysql> select user, host, password from user;
+------+-----------+----------+1 row in set (0.00 sec)
| user | host | password |
| root | localhost | |

I had some fun upgrading from mysql-4.1.15-win32 (mysql 4.1) to mysql-5.0.41-win32. I figured I would write down what I did to save people time. The permissions table thing is still tricky. I used the no-installer to get the version 5 mysql. Then I just swapped the installs as I had done in the past. when I relaunched mysql (mysql5/bin/mysqld-nt --console) I kept getting Error 1130 [HYO 000x] cannot logon locally errors. So this was the mysql permission tables upgrade problem. After attacking the upgrade from a few differnt angles I found the way that worked for me. This is detailed below.
The upgrade took me 15 minutes after I had my plan.
1. download mysql 5 no install.
2. unzip it.
3. export you mysql.db and mysql.user tables using whatever tool you use (make import of old users permissions and table rights)
so you get something like (I used EMS extract)...
use mysql;
INSERT INTO `db` (`Host`, `Db`, `User`, `Select_priv`, `Insert_priv`, `Update_priv`, `Delete_priv`, `Create_priv`, `Drop_priv`, `Grant_priv`, `References_priv`, `Index_priv`, `Alter_priv`, `Create_tmp_table_priv`, `Lock_tables_priv`) VALUES
next rec..
next rec
# Data for the `db` table (LIMIT 0,500)
INSERT INTO `user` (`Host`, `User`, `Password`, `Select_priv`, `Insert_priv`, `Update_priv`, `Delete_priv`, `Create_priv`, `Drop_priv`, `Reload_priv`, `Shutdown_priv`, `Process_priv`, `File_priv`, `Grant_priv`, `References_priv`, `Index_priv`, `Alter_priv`, `Show_db_priv`, `Super_priv`, `Create_tmp_table_priv`, `Lock_tables_priv`, `Execute_priv`, `Repl_slave_priv`, `Repl_client_priv`, `ssl_type`, `ssl_cipher`, `x509_issuer`, `x509_subject`, `max_questions`, `max_updates`, `max_connections`) VALUES
...next rec.....;
save as a text file somewhere.
4. open a command window and end the mysql service, if you run as service.
5. go to mysql install folder/bin and unregister whatever mysql daemon you are using
c:/mysql/bin/mysqld-nt --remove
6. zip up all your old mysql (basedir and DataDir) for
backup and later use.
7. find all your old my.cnf and my.ini files that were left over from previous installs and put them in you backup folder with the other ziped folders so the new install can't see them.
8. place mysql 5's unzipped stuff where ever you want it to run from (mine is c:/mysql5.
9. just let iot use the mysql and test databases at first to get mysql5 running.
10. Set up your my.ini file for mysql 5 and just leave it in the mysql directory (none in %sysroot% any more I guess.
11. start mysql5 in console c:/mysql5/bin/mysqld-nt --console.
12. Try to log into the console with a blank root password (since this is a fresh install).
13. assuming you got this far, type "SHOW DATABASES;" in mysql. Should only be Mysql and Test.
14. Copy you old databases except of course the 4.1 mysql and 4.1 test dbs (if it is still there) to you c:/mysql5/data/ directory.
15. check in mysql console if they can be seen by running "Show Databases;" again.
16. Hopefully that worked, no import your old db and user permission from the sql file you made earlier.
in mysql console: SOURCE "c:/your-file-path.txt";
that should bring in your old user and password in the old format.
17. check if you import worked by selecting from users (use mysql; select * from user;)
18. I was fine at this point besides the old password format, so I ran the Mysql_upgrade.exe file that is mentioned in here a million times, but omly worked for me this way.
18. I ran mysql_upgrade from a batch file:
C:\mysql5\bin\mysql_upgrade.exe --datadir=c:/mysql5/data/ --basedir=c:/mysql5/ -u root
19. a whole bunch of output about bad table struct, 4.1 style passwords and duplicate columns. when it finsihed I ran it again, and only got the dup column warnings which can be ignored. Then I ran it again just for fun.
20. at this point all the db's are in the right structure, my logins all worked.
21. closed my console session running mysql, closed my console window mysql was running in (--mysqld-nt --console) and moved my data directory back to which it came (personal choice).
22. Checked my cofig file (in mysql base dir ...c:/mysql5/my.ini) using "c/mysql5/mysqld-nt --print-defaults" and they looked fine, changed my datadir="x:/path", and re-ran the --print-defaults.
22. I then reinstalled the msyql as a service with the my.ini file still only in my basedir (c:/mysql5/bin/mysqld-nt --install), and started mysql (net start mysql) or services gui.
23. Last thing, make the root user a password, easily crackable of course like a bad word (don't really do this, but do make a password).
Hope that saves somebody else some time.

If when you go to install again it can't start the service & it had asked you for the old root password, you need to delete the folder C:\ProgramData\MySQL
This took me 3 hours to discover, its BS that no one seems to have pointed out this fact.

I did unzipped 5.6.10 onto an older version 5.6.x on Windows.
my.ini did't overwrote and contained these lines:
password = something
From this point I lost _ALL_ access to MySQL:
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
I mean mysql.exe or mysql_upgrade.exe also didn't worked.
I figured out the problem was the password line in my.ini. I did commented out temporarily, ran mysql_upgrade.exe then I did uncommented then everything worked well.

Point 5 in this article implies that when upgrading from 5.1 to 5.5, we need to uninstall MySQL Server 5.1 first. That is, we cannot run installer for 5.5 and expect it to *upgrade* installed version 5.1 to 5.5.
To those who want to remove my comment, read the following first:
Please refer to
In section 126.96.36.199.6 of that article, please pay attention to the 2nd paragraph that I include here below:
Automatic upgrades are available only when upgrading between installations that have the *same major and minor version numbers*. For example, you can upgrade automatically from MySQL 5.1.5 to MySQL 5.1.6, but not from MySQL 5.0 to MySQL 5.1.
As a matter of fact, I have MySQL 5.1.30 in a test computer. I run MySQL 5.5 setup WITHOUT previously uninstalling 5.1. Result: both versions are displayed in "Add/Remove Program" applet (and the new server is not using old data, but this is another topic)

ADA, Mich. (WZZM) - Forest Hills Eastern High School Friday night will host its first "Family, Friends and Heroes" football game when the Hawks host rival Forest Hills Northern. The game is intended to honor all those people who have made a difference in the lives of Forest Hills Eastern students.
The game has also taken on another meaning as members of the football team and students at the school pay respects to a former classmate.
16-year-old junior Nate Hurwtiz died in mid-September. Nate had been confined to a wheelchair since elementary school as a result of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. But his friends say there was not a more upbeat kid at school. And no one had a better smile.
"I don't remember ever seeing Nate without a smile," says junior Chris Cantu, a defensive lineman on the football team. "He was at our lunch table and he was at our Powder Puff practices and games. Every time I looked at him, even when I was sad, he would have that smile on."
Nate Hurwitz was a huge sports fan. A lifelong Boston Red Sox fan, Nate joined the West Michigan Miracle League board of directors in the spring to help the effort to build a $400,000 baseball field that is accessible for kids with disabilities.
Friday night's football game will raise money for the Miracle League in Nate's memory. Tony Comden, West Michigan Miracle League president, says already since Nate's death, 150 donations from 20 states totalling $150,000 have been made. Comden will be at the stadium Friday to share in the celebration of Nate Hurwitz.
"It's a great reflection of Nate's memory that the fellows on the football team decided to do this. It says a lot about their respect for him and their friendship with him. It's going to be a wonderful celebration that reflects all that is good with our community," says Comden.
The school is selling "Family, Friends and Heroes" tee-shirts for 15 dollars. The cost will include a ticket into the game.
Join WZZM's "13 On Your Sidelines" for coverage of the Forest Hills Northern-Forest Hills Eastern game Friday night at 11:15.
WZZM's Tom Clyde is a member of the board of directors for the West Michigan Miracle League.

PROBATION VIOLATION - MASSENA - Village police picked Matthew C. Malu, 24, of 177 Center St., Massena, on an alleged probation violation at 10:50 p.m. Friday at his residence. He was held overnight in the village lockup pending trabsport to Canton for an arraignment in St. Lawrence County Court.
Village police charged Devian J. Fletcher, 18, of 210 W. 146th St., Apt. 2J and Malu, then listing an address of 1841 Central Park Ave., Yonkers less than an hour after an alleged attempted home invasion.Fletcher and Malu were each charged with second-degree burglary. Malu was also charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief for allegedly throwing a snow shovel through the kitchen window at 26 Haskell St. as they were leaving, after not gaining entry to the home.
According to court documents, the men were at the home looking to confront Andrew Courson, who resided there and was home at the time.
A St. Lawrence County Grand Jury handed up an indictment in February charging Malu with second-degree attempted burglary in connection with that incident.
OPEN CONTAINER - MASSENA - Village police charged Nicholas Van Kennen, 21, of 2230 state Route 420, Norfolk, with an open container violation at 1:24 a.m. Saturday after officers observed him in the Andrews Street parking lot near the fire station with an open container of alcohol.

A very peculiar novelty candy item arrived in my mailbox last week: Gummy Shotz (edible gummy shot glasses). The "shot glasses" ship six individual flavors per pack and flavors include cherry, grape, orange, lemon, lime, cola, blue raspberry, green apple, pink bubble gum, and pineapple.
I'm guessing these colorful, two-inch-tall sticky vessels were dreamed up for gimmicky 1 oz. drinks like Lemon Drops, Kamikazes, and B-52s … and for more mature events like bachelorette parties, Mardi Gras, luaus, etc.
I get that, but I took these super sweet and somewhat rubbery shot glasses in a more juvenile direction. (How many adults really want to eat a gooey gummy "glass" after downing a shot of Jäger? It's a heck of a chaser.)
I spent a morning in my kitchen concocting candy crafts by inserting a mini baking cup in each shot glass and filling the mini cups with colorful candies like peanut M&M's, Reese's Pieces, sour crawlers, gummy bears, and Skittles to play off of the primary gummy colors.
My craft project turned out to be something I would use as a kid's party favor wrapped in cello and tied with a bow (Candy Land theme anyone?), or as eye candy on a candy buffet.
Per my 14-year-old neighbor's brilliant suggestion, I also filled some of the shot glasses with whipped cream and topped them with fruit and sprinkles. I don't think I'd serve these to guests older than 14, though, but they do look pretty on a tray.
I photographed some of my final products with my low-budget 35 mm, so my apologies in advance for the following lackluster visuals:
Now it's your turn to think outside of the box. What would you fill these gummy shot glasses with?

Well now this is good fun. ESPN's Tony Kornheiser on Cyclists: "RUN THEM DOWN"
Lost for words. What a pillock!
I'm not sure about letting those fuckwits on the road in charge of a couple of tons of heavy machinery. In fact I don't think that they should be let out of their secure unit without a team of trained minders.
America is often good for fun, but often makes feel sad.
Run cyclists down, or ban of cycling in a small town . . .
But of course roads are for cars...
Sadly there are people out there who will take him seriously, rather than seeing him for the moron that he is.
Luckily, this mentality will keel over dead soon enough.
Le sigh
He's Sidewalk Jones!
Believe it or not, ages ago this guy used to be funny. I'm shocked, like seeing someone you used to know suddenly show signs of mental illness. This is apparently an old clip, since the Penn Ave center lanes have been in for a while, I shouldn't be surprised there was no flap about this when it aired.
Less extreme, but I saw a DC news bit about the Penn lanes, the reporters had serious faces and started the piece with something like 'driving on Pennsylvania Avenue is about to get a lot more treacherous for cars'... sigh.
STR? "I don't think I own it, I own it, I have a car, a large powerful car compared to your stupid little bicycle".
Ridiculing the most vulnerable is "funny" and should be enjoyed by listeners and practiced by all those with "large powerful cars".
He has a very lager car to make up for a very small penis...
It's an attitude that seems to have occurred in the death of a cyclist in Toronto, Ontcario, North Americar - and no charges/penalties stuck. Sad... though the cyclist wasn't a "clean" cyclist - he was killed by a car where we were supposed to have a bike lane in the best place years ago.
He is the type of Person why there should be a whole lot more Dedicated Cycle Lanes. Car Drivers Domineering the Roads and not Respecting other Road Users like Cyclists and Pedestrians.
Car Drivers cannot be Trusted to Obey the Rules in spite of Speed Limit Signs and Speed Cameras.
It's people like him that make me rejoice that red-light cameras and speed cameras are popping up everywhere. Suck all the money out of their pockets. It'll make them seek other modes of transportation when they run out of money to pay these tickets. They always wanna make it seem like bikers are the bad guy, but these idiots never realize how dangerous they become when they're talking on the phone or worse - texting. And when they hit you? It's never their fault.
This is a bit of an old story, which caused a fairly large reaction from the cycling community here in DC, and caused Lance Armstrong to call in to the program and set him straight. Of course his crappy behavior was rewarded by having Lance (via phone) on his program, but for what it's worth (probably nothing) he did apologize for his words.
I say let's not give him any more attention. I'm not one for censorship, but certainly wish that wasn't on youtube.
Priceless! "They dominate the road"! Yes they do! :D
Frightening, even if only intended as a joke. Shame on you, Tony Kornheiser. Your schtick may work on thick-headed machismo-driven shows like Pardon the Interruption, but you have certainly crossed the line, here. You should know better that your influence as a TV personality is [unfortunately] significant, and many of your fans may be more daft than the average bicycle enthusiast.
Remember: bicycles have been around longer than cars, and the roads are to be shared.
Oh, and you might want to consider wearing one of our "stupid-looking helmets" to cover up your shiny dome.
How about I go around saying this about other minority groups? What's the worst I can be charged with?
