TUCSON(KGUN9-TV) - A system glitch is to blame after thousands of Veterans -- nationwide -- received less money than they should have. In some cases, they received hundreds less than their usual monthly benefits.
The VA glitch specifically affected Veterans on a repayment plan to recoup a medical debt. According to a VA spokesperson, the amount that should have been withheld was sent to the Veteran and the amount the Veteran should have received was withheld. Essentially, the amounts were reversed. In all, about 12,000 Veterans received the erroneous payment.
In a statement to 9OYS, a VA spokesperson said, "The VA sincerely regrets the error and the impact it may have on Veterans and beneficiaries. VA is working to ensure it does not happen again."
Officials are currently working with the Department of Treasury to expedite the proper payments. A spokesperson says the VA hopes to have the payments out by next week.
Anyone with questions regarding the payment error is urged to contact the VA through their toll free number; 1-800-827-1000.

Wednesday, August 21, 2013
By Joseph Andrew Lee
At 12 years old, Matt Cogar was already a full-fledged
Now 26, Cogar has is the youngest STIHLTimbersports U.S. lumberjack champion ever. Still, he's not about to forget his West
Virginia roots or the peers who protected his freedoms while he chopped away at
his goals.
"When my family learned that I would be competing in the
world championships in Stuttgart, Germany, my brother-in-law who is retired
Army special operations told me how close that was to Landstuhl Regional
Medical Center," Cogar said. "So when I had some downtime between press interviews,
that was the first place I went. Our recovering troops need to know that they
aren't forgotten."
The USO Warrior Center at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center
provides a place for wounded, ill and injured troops can relax and recharge
while. Cogar stopped by the center Aug. 6 before visiting troops at their bedsides, signing
autographs, handing out STIHLTimbersports hats and shirts and sharing stories. He then returned to the Warrior Center to enjoy dinner with the wounded.
"Getting to see the smiles on the faces of the troops at the
USO was just so awesome," Cogar said. "It was a very laid-back environment, and
I could tell a lot of folks from my home state recognized me and I could tell
by the laughter and smiles that I made the right decision by stopping in."
Established in 1985, the STIHLTimbersports Series refers to
itself as the "original extreme sport," attracting the world's top lumberjack
athletes in a competition based on historic logging techniques. STIHL says the series is
seen by millions of viewers annually in more than 62 countries.
Cogar will return to Germany Oct. 25-26 to represent the
United States in the STIHLTimbersports Lumberjack World Championships.

Love Inspires, by Laszlito Kovacs.
15% of the sale of this print goes to the 826 National.
Laszlito Kovacs lives and works 1.699 km from home. His colorful and optimistic illustrations have been published in some of the leading newspapers and magazines in Spain, such as "el País", "El Mundo", and "Club Cultura". In the Netherlands, he has been published in Bright Magazine, WWF Panda Mag, Adobe CS5 Mag, and de Volkskrant. In addition to being an artist, Laszlito is a curator at poolga.com, and the chief editor at endtopic.com.
Laszlito draws like a monkey all day long. He finds his inspiration in movies, pigs, candyfloss, music, deers, whales, penguins, his friends and family, and all of the things that make this world sweet and better.
About the print:
The idea behind Love Inspires is pretty simple. I believe that love is the "inspiration engine" for a better life. But even though this is a simple idea, sometimes we still really need to remind ourselves of it everyday. I simply love the idea of having a reminder hanging on my wall. The musician is the reincarnation of inspiration. Music often opens our minds and heart and prepares us to embrace inspiration.
This is a digital print on acid free, Neenah uncoated matte 100lb cover paper that is 80% recycled. It was digitally signed by the artist and was numbered by The Working Proof.
What have you been up to since we last worked together?
I've been working on some really interesting projects. I recently teamed up with Winged Wheel in Japan, and designed five greeting cards for them. Working with Rumi Nagata and her lovely team has been one of the most inspiring experiences for me. I also was recently featured in a wonderful book called Illustrators Unlimited, alongside a bunch of wonderfully talented illustrators.
Words play a large part in your work. How do you choose your phrases, and how do they influence your art?
Phrases and words are like mantras for me, and the more I get attached to one, the more I discover. Because we live surrounded by information and receive input from all over the place everyday, I tend to get attached to one of my phrases for a while, in order to preserve myself amongst the mountains of information. I have the feeling that it is not me who finds and chooses the phrases, but the opposite.
How has your work developed over the last year?
I'm experimenting with new techniques. But there are other things that remain exactly in the same place. The result of the fight between the preservation of style and experimentation is what we can call my actual work. But the end of my evolution as an artist is still far away...and I'm glad to be just at the beginning.
What is inspiring you these days?
Imperfection. Even today in this super, super industrialized world, it is bliss for me when I find an imperfection in a print, book, or product that keeps it human. I keep my eyes open for that kind of event. I'm not buying the idea of perfection that is being sold to us everywhere, especially in advertising.
Why did you choose to pair your print with 826 National?
I chose to pair my print with 826 National again, because I believe that while words might not change our world completely, words, phrases, and books can certainly open our hearts to a new world.
Laszlito's previous edition: Vida Lenta.

City's new zipper goes to work
Houston County Courier - October 2007
By Daphne Hereford
Managing Editor
A new piece of road equipment called a zipper went to work on Crockett streets beginning Wednesday, Oct. 10.
The Asphalt Zipper Model AZ 500 Portable reclaimer machine was delivered earlier this month and was put into operation.
The city began the repair program using the new equipment on Stokes and Pease streets.
The zipper is a portable machine used by the street department to mill up damaged asphalt street surface and prepare the road for repaving.
The new machine replaces the 1982 BOMAG Reclaimer.
According to the city, it was no longer economically feasible to maintain the more than 25-year-old reclaimer.
Crockett City Administrator Ron Duncan said the Asphalt Zipper was purchased instead of a new reclaimer for several reasons.
Duncan said the Zipper cost less than $100,000, while a new reclaimer could have been up to three times that amount.
The zipper is portable and carried to the job site on a trailer and transferred to the bucket of a front-end load for operation.
The zipper will also be ideal for doing small areas, costing less money to operate, transport, and maintain.
"Several cities throughout the U.S., as well as the Texas Department of Transportation use the Asphalt Zipper," Duncan said.
"We are very excited by the early results with the new machine and look forward to many years of productive use," he concluded.

ASIA/INDONESIA - Floods and earthquakes: no assistance for victims
Jakarta (Agenzia Fides) - A few days after the floods in Jakarta, a strong earthquake struck the island in the Indian Ocean. Despite the state of emergency declared by the local government, hundreds of people have not yet received any assistance. Many families have been trapped in their homes which are completely flooded. Some areas of the western part of Jakarta continue to be flooded since January 19, after the breaking of a great dam. Until a few days ago, the National Disaster Management Agency reported the death of 20 people, due to diseases, drowning or electrocution. Over 40,000 have been evacuated and a little girl seems to have died because of the earthquake. Insufficient health facilities are able to offer assistance to victims. Back in 2007, the torrential rains recorded 57 deaths and more than 420 displaced people in Jakarta. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 23/01/2013)

Many films lay claim to being the scariest movie, but only one can truly hold the objective and indisputable distinction of being the scariest movie in all of cinema. In order to determine what this movie might be, we first have to determine what characteristics the scariest movie would have. It just so happens we have a list of them right here:
So, utilizing these four crucial ingredients for the scariest movie, it's easy to see who the winner is none other than Tobe Hooper's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." It loosely adapts a real incident (the same one that inspired Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho") and turns it into two hours of non-stop terror that never for a moment seems like any other horror movie before or since.

1. Shy Girls
- SOUNDS LIKE: A make-out session that started in 1989 with the radio tuned to a contemporary R&B station and has continued, uninterrupted, ever since—and with the dial untouched.
Dan Vidmar's bedroom is where the magic happens.
On the second level of the Southeast Portland loft he shares with two other guys, through the tapestry that acts as his doorway, the 25-year-old singer-producer is showing off his workstation, which is just a desk, a synthesizer and a frustratingly slow computer. When the songs he recorded here two years ago first made the rounds online, local bloggers and journalists didn't even know who they were coming from, let alone where. Vidmar, who uploaded a pair of EPs under two different names in late 2011 then basically forgot about them, left few clues as to their origins. He omitted songwriting credits from his Bandcamp and SoundCloud pages, and took press photos with his face hidden behind a mask that made him look like a walking Easter Island statue. He insists the intent wasn't to create a mysterious aura. He just didn't think anyone would care.
Now that people clearly do, Vidmar—strong-jawed and steely-eyed, with a thatch of curly hair piled atop his head—has no problem revealing the details of his split artistic personalities: Federer, his slap bass-loving, piña colada-guzzling alter ego; and Shy Girls, his chilled-out, swollen-hearted retro-R&B project.
"In my head, there was a separation," Vidmar says of the two concurrent projects. "Federer is the part of my brain that, like, RVs down to Key West and has a beard and goes to lots of Jimmy Buffett concerts, then comes home to a four-track recorder and is, like, 'Let's get down to business.' Shy Girls is the preteen female side."
That preteen female is Portland's Best New Band.
It is also, by modern parameters, maybe the most uncool band in the city. Soprano-sax solos, earnest pillow-talk vocals and a production style best described as "dentist-office funk" aren't exactly de rigueur. But that's the appeal. Shy Girls—the side of Vidmar's brain that's grown beyond his bedroom into a full-fledged, seven-piece live act—is a band both of its moment and completely out of time. Plenty of artists Vidmar's age are now reacquainting themselves with the mainstream pop of their youth, making music that taps into a foggy nostalgia for '90s FM radio. Except, there's nothing foggy about Shy Girls' crystal-clear interpretation of the past. Instead of reproducing the feel of twisting a staticky radio dial, its music invokes memories of walking through a mall or riding in an elevator circa 1991. And while it shares traits with the dreamy, lightheaded R&B of Frank Ocean and the Weeknd, the group engages its influences with a lot more honesty. "Blue-eyed soul" is the hipper nomenclature, but if you were to use the term "easy listening" to describe it, the band wouldn't take offense.
"A lot of music that's coming out now alludes to that, but is totally fucking afraid of it," Vidmar says, moving downstairs to his couch. "Like Kenny G. People just scoff at Kenny G, and people are afraid to go there. But there's so much there that can translate to people's ears today."
"Taking that stuff out of context is really fascinating," adds keyboardist Ingmar Carlson, Vidmar's childhood friend and roommate, from the other end of the couch. (Full disclosure: WW music calendar editor Mitch Lillie also lives with them.) "What was once easy listening—there's an implication there, that listening to this is easy. And once, perhaps it was. Nowadays, you listen to it and realize, no, it's not."
In the world of Shy Girls, soft is the new hard, smooth jazz is punk as fuck, and Kenny G might as well be Johnny Rotten.
And lest you think the band's embrace of pop's most featherweight textures is an ironic put-on, consider that its creator grew up in State College, Penn., a city where irony doesn't exist. "It's a completely unique situation, in that there's no urban culture there at all, but there's all these people, this academic environment, and a huge party scene," Vidmar says of his hometown. "It's like frat city." The son of business-minded parents, Vidmar was raised in a house with maybe a half-dozen CDs lying around. Once he was old enough to start going to clubs, the only bands in town to learn from played classic-rock covers. By the time he began formulating his own musical ideas, he was basically working from scratch. "I had a completely blank slate."
That doesn't mean the sound of Shy Girls developed out of thin air, though. There are precedents—like the time in elementary school when the principal allowed Vidmar to take over the PA system. "During naptime, we orchestrated this whole event where we played the Aladdin soundtrack for the last hour of school," he recalls. It's not just a cute childhood memory: The fluttery lightness of Disney movie scores, and the generational nostalgia attached to it, certainly influenced the band's aesthetic. (Vidmar even nicked a sample of a snare drum from "A Whole New World" for the breathy "Under Attack.") Attending college at Penn State ("It was my destiny," Vidmar says), he and Carlson—who came from a more musical background, taking piano classes as a kid and listening to a steady stream of Mozart and Bach and his mother's Beatles records—formed a Paul Simon cover act, allowing them to cut their teeth in State College's bar scene while also getting familiar with the polyrhythms that gently roil underneath Shy Girls' delicate skin.
But the project didn't fully congeal until Vidmar relocated to Portland in 2009. At the time, he thought the move would help him develop the Animal Collective-style freak-folk experiments he'd filled his computer with. "I felt like moving to Portland I'd have an opportunity to do that," he says, "whereas at State College, I couldn't even play that kind of music on the street corner." Arriving in town shortly after graduation, Vidmar discovered, contrary to popular belief, the city's tourism bureau does not certify indie-rock careers at the airport. "I found it incredibly difficult, actually, to break into the music scene here," he says. "I remember being super-frustrated. I couldn't really get any gigs. I couldn't get people to play with me. I came out here thinking, 'I'll go out there and meet a bunch of people and stuff will just start happening.' Of course, it didn't happen like that."
With few other options, Vidmar went back to messing around on his laptop. For reasons that escape him, the soft pop and soul he'd absorbed imperceptibly in his youth—Michael McDonald, Luther Vandross and, yes, Kenny G—burbled to the surface. Federer, with its yacht-rocking, party-in-sandals vibe, came first. He envisioned Shy Girls as that project's cleaner, chilled-out flipside. He didn't have grand aspirations for either. "The only intention I had with it, aside from making something that I wanted to listen to or wanted my friends to hear, was to do something that was uniquely funky," he says. "I felt like people, especially in Portland, were kind of afraid of funk."
Ironically, it was when Vidmar stopped trying to get attention that people started paying it to him. Chris Cantino, artistic director for PDX Pop Now!, stumbled across the band online while looking for acts to book for last year's festival. He was hooked immediately. "There was an air of mystery about them, and the sound had so much potential to explore," Cantino says. "I got the sense we were on the ground floor of something big if the band could somehow just be exposed."
With an actual gig suddenly on his calendar, Vidmar put together a band, recruiting Carlson and drummer Dan Sutherland, along with two backup singers, a second keyboardist and Tune-Yards saxophonist Noah Bernstein. Offers for more shows rolled in, and over the past year, the group has built a following around its swoony, unguardedly romantic performances. (Its secret weapon is Bernstein, who often seems to beam onto the stage, play a sultry solo, then vanish back into the ether.) Vidmar says he's still unsure of just how popular Shy Girls actually is, but acknowledges there is a buzz, and they need to be careful about stretching it too thin. "I don't want to become one of those bands that plays in Portland every other week for five years," he says.
As of right now, Shy Girls' total recorded output is four songs, though there's a full album's worth of material "up there," Vidmar says, motioning to his room. Now that the proverbial (and literal) mask is off, Vidmar knows all future material will have to stand on its own, without the mystery that initially attracted listeners. A project like Shy Girls, no matter how sincere and well-crafted the sound, is always going to be dogged by accusations of misplaced nostalgia. But that's not an issue Vidmar spends a lot of time worrying about.
"The whole idea of nostalgia to me—yeah, there's some aspect, as we were saying, but all that music also draws from earlier generations, which also draws from earlier generations, and all that," he says. "At the same time, it's not really a concern of mine, if people think it's a calculated, ironic thing. I'm just trying to make solid songs." MATTHEW SINGER.

Ideal Digital Breaker Finder: Trial and Error is No Way to Find the Right Circuit Breaker
Filed under: Uncategorized
It's happened to the best of us: you need to change an outlet or swap out a light fixture, but when you run to the breaker box to shut off the circuit you'll be working on, confused head scratching ensues. Maybe the breaker labels are a little too old and worn to read, or you just can't make out the chicken-scratch of the last people who lived there. Whatever the reason is, your lack of breaker ID leaves you using the old trial-and-error method, which is no way to locate an electrical circuit. When it comes to electricity, Trial and Error are not our friends – they'll either have you turning off all the wrong breakers before you find the right one (have fun resetting every digital clock in your house), or otherwise thinking you flipped the right one the first time around… until you find out (the hard way) shortly thereafter that that's not the case (ouch).
Thankfully, Ideal Industries is in tune with Mystery Circuit Breaker woes, and has come to the rescue with an extremely cool Digital Breaker Finder. This two-piece locator is super-simple to use, and will cut out all of the guessing and time-wasting that you usually deal with on your quest to find the right breaker. Just plug the transmitter into the receptacle that you plan to work on, and then mosey to the breaker box with the receiver in hand. Run the receiver over the breakers until the green LEDs flash, and you're in business. Too easy.
I realize that I'm recommending this from a consumerish, home owner standpoint, but this is a total must-have for professional electricians and HVAC technicians as well. Walking into strange houses and decoding their individual breaker situations day in and day out is even more annoying than deciphering one's own circuit breaker fiasco, so toss one of these breaker finder sets into your tool bag – the faster that you knock one job out, the sooner you can get onto the next. And lowering your risk of shock never hurts either.

Unless you've gone completely Technologically Awesome and have, by now, ripped all of your CDs and started downloading all of your favorite movies from iTunes, you still need a place to keep that stuff (for the record, I do, too). I don't know about you, but my music and movie storage situation tends to get a little precarious at times, mostly because discs (boxed, jewel-cased or au naturel) aren't meant to be stacked into mini-skyscrapers until you need them. Bump into one of those piles, and bad things happen. Try to whisk one disc out of the stack without disturbing the others, and you're in a predicament that's worse than Jenga and the Tablecloth Trick combined.
Sounds like it's time for a media rack.
I just recently got a load of Dasco's Media Storage Racks, and I have to say, I like what I'm seeing. If you've ever wished that you could get your hands on the type of shelving units you see at the neighborhood movie rental place or your library's AV department, these are them, just a little better. Their angled shelves keep things from sliding off, make it easier to scan titles, and can be adjusted in 1 inch increments, depending on what you need to store. Whether you're into CDs, games and Blu-Ray discs or are still kickin' it old school with the audio cassettes and VHS tapes of your glory days, it all fits.
I'm not going to even try to imply that this would be the perfect fixture for your living room, but if you have a separate, dedicated home theater or media room, it would work like a charm. What's really nice is that you can choose the configuration that works for you – there are multiple heights, single and double-sided designs, and standing or wall-mount versions available.
Lest I paint too narrow a picture, here, Dasco's media racks aren't just for home A/V types – they're also great for offices, schools, studios, and any other environment with lots of media in need of proper storage. It's time to stop treating your discs and tapes like building blocks.
The Kendall Howard Rack Helper: An Extra Pair of Hands for "I'll-Do-It-Myselfers"
Filed under: Uncategorized
In this world, there are two types of People Who Get Stuff Done. The "Do-It-Yourselfers," and the "I'll-Do-It-Myselfers." I'm the latter. I don't know exactly why, but I hate asking for and/or accepting help. I'm always ready to lend other people a helping hand, but this project I'm working on? I'm fine, thank you very much – you can stop hovering in concern and go away now. It can be putting together a bulky piece of furniture, hanging a huge, heavy picture on the wall (without being able to find the hook), or painting a spot that's just a little out of reach, even when I'm standing on a chair. It's stupid, actually. Pretty pathetic. But I figure that at least the risk is pretty low – I only act like this with my own stuff, and if I screw up, I'm the only one who will be put out.
I would never do this if I were, say, a professional network or A/V installer who happens to rackmount other people's really expensive new electronics on a regular basis. Trying tackling a job like that alone, and you could end up in a situation that calls for way more than an embarrassed "Oopsie." Rackmounting heavier components often requires two pairs of hands, but what do you do if there isn't a sidekick available, or if you (like someone else you know) prefer to work alone?
The product developers at Kendall Howard know that staff can run short and that stubborn people sometimes take singlehanded risks, so they created the Rack Helper, a temporary bracket that's able to bear the weight of heavy servers and UPSs while you use both of your hands – and all of your focus – to bolt them into a rack. No juggling routines or physical strain: just an extra pair of hands (so to speak) that stay out of your way, and let you work faster and smarter. And if that's not enough, you'll love this: the Rack Helper doesn't charge by the hour, so it can really help you cut down on labor costs.
Mini Rip-Tie Cable Ties: Yes, Even a Cable Tie Can Be Cute
Filed under: Uncategorized
What is it about mini stuff that makes it so irresistible? Puppies, fun-size candy bars, tiny bonzai trees, baby clothes… what makes them so much more fascinating and appealing than their grown-up, full-sized alternatives? Guess it just goes to show that cuteness always wins, and now that's even true in the world of cable ties.
Confession: I have never gazed lovingly at a cable tie and gushed "Awwwwwwwww, look at it!" But this morning, I almost did. Let me explain. I've never thought of ordinary cable ties as anything other than utilitarian. They get the job done, but otherwise, they land themselves in the "Blah" category every time. They're made to be functional, not charming. But it looks like the Mini Rip-Tie is the one that got away.
This little cutie (oh, man, here I go) is a hook-and-loop cable tie that's made specifically for the type of small cables we're all constantly accumulating more of: cell phone chargers, short USB cables… earbuds, anyone? You know what I mean – the type of cords that normal-sized cable wraps are way too bulky to hold? You think that you have everything coiled up and wrapped, and then those slippery little wires start sliding around, and things aren't so pretty anymore.
That doesn't happen with Mini Rip-Ties. Because they're perfectly scaled to smaller cables, they don't turn into big, bulky, never-ending spools of hook-and-loop, and are able to keep a better grip on even the skinniest of cords. And, of course (since I haven't mentioned this yet), they're super adorable. Don't act so tough – you know you want a pack.
BonDuit Conduit Adhesive: Watertight and Outta Sight
Filed under: Uncategorized
They say that a conduit run is only as strong as its adhesive. Okay, well, maybe they don't say that, but it's true! Pretty much anything out there is only as strong as it's weakest point, and when it comes to conduit, that would be the joint (or joints) where separate pieces of conduit are spliced together.
I may be getting a little too basic here, but the main point of conduit, its raison d'etre, is to protect cables and wiring. That's it. Sure, it helps get them from one place to the next, but the real deal is the way it serves as armor against water, chemicals, and sharp things. If the bad stuff finds even one weak spot in the conduit where it can weasel its way in, the whole game's up. Conduit itself, when not severely abused, is more than up to the task of sealing out water and corrosive agents, but the adhesive and fittings that join conduit runs have to be pretty good to keep up. Here's one adhesive that can really hold its own.
Meet the cleverly-named BonDuit® Conduit Adhesive by American Polywater. It's an accomplished multitasker that plays very nicely with PE, PVC, metal and composite conduits, and, when properly applied, creates a completely airtight, watertight joint to keep cables safe. The cured product also has a very high tensile strength, so it can stand up to quite a bit of bad weather and abuse without budging.
I know what you're thinking: adhesives with those types of super powers usually come in several parts, and are a pain to mix and apply. Yes, BonDuit is made up of two separate components, but they aren't frustrating or messy to mix, thanks to the special mixing nozzle applicator that automatically does the job for you. You just pull the applicator trigger, and the nozzle will do all the rest for you, mixing the two components in perfect proportion before laying down a bead of the final product. Not bad at all. To almost quote my favorite kid in the world, it's "easy peasy… ummmm… adhesive squeezy."
Table Top Relay Racks – The Way to Rack-Mount Electronics When You Don't Need a Whole Server Rack
Filed under: Uncategorized
I think that being faced with server racks and enclosures all the time, I tend to take rack-mounting for granted. Have computer components, recording equipment or a power conditioner? Just bolt it/them into a rack – that's what everyone does. Or do they? What about the people who have absolutely no extra space to accommodate a full-blown server rack? Or who may have some rackmountable equipment, but not enough to merit the purchase of a full-size enclosure?
My guess is that they balance stuff on desks and table tops, and hope for the best. That can be a little risky, though – think about all of the overheating and general damage that can happen when when stacks of papers and cups of coffee are piled near (or worse, on) your network equipment. Not a pretty thought.
So Bud Industries has decided to stop cringing at all the horrifying what-ifs, and has developed a table-top relay rack for all of those small offices that only need a little bit of rackmounting. No oversized, cumbersome cabinet that takes up too much valuable floorspace, and no wallmount enclosures jutting out into your already limited workspace. Just a compact rack that's the perfect size (12U – 16U) for the few components that you have, and can be installed right onto a desk, table or media console top without hogging your entire work surface. Safely mounted electronics with no wasted money, and no wasted space. That's just smart.
Non-Skid Braided Sleeving: Putting an End to the "Banana Peel" Effect
Filed under: Uncategorized
Around the office, we've been talking about different types of cable management products for film sets. Thinking about all of the possibilities reminded me of a very cool product that I've been acquainted with for quite some time, but (for some reason that I can't figure out) haven't yet blogged about. So this afternoon, I'm introducing you to non-skid braided sleeving.
Remember the Banana Peel gag that used to be the standby in old movies? You know, a character goes strolling along the sidewalk, whistling happily, hands in pockets, and then his heel suddenly comes down on a slippery old banana peel, and he's flat on his back before he knows what hit him. A classic. Well, it turns out that the Banana Peel Effect didn't end with Charlie Chaplin or the Three Stooges – it's still happening on film sets and sound stages, but instead of an actual banana peel, cables are now the culprit.
Film sets and broadcast studios are overrun with cables, many of which wind their way right across the floor in high-traffic areas. There are power cords, boom-mic cables, camera and monitor wiring – you get the idea. It's not uncommon for wiring to be gathered together into bundles (or "cable snakes") and covered in braided sleeving. Braided sleeving is, as a rule, a great product, but much of it is plastic-based, and that means it can easily slide around on smooth flooring. Enter a preoccupied sound engineer, camera person, or on-a-mission assistant, and someone's bound to step in the wrong place and take the spill of their life.
That's why slip-resistant braided sleeving is such a lifesaver for film crews. It protects critical cables from under-foot damage, but also gives the people on set much less reason to slip and fall. Non-skid braided sleeving works so well because while half of its filaments are standard PET (plastic), the rest are made of a high-friction polymer that actually grabs onto floor surfaces when stepped on, instead of skidding under the weight and momentum of the person trampling it. To make a long story very short, step on it, and it doesn't move – and neither do you, for that matter (at least not in any unplanned way).
It's sounds like a product worth getting to know better, right? If I were you, I'd definitely take it to the movies.
Dasco Media Storage Cabinets: Perfectly Customizable, Functional and Secure Storage
Filed under: Uncategorized
So, I saw the name "Dasco Media Storage Cabinet," and I automatically got presumptuous and assumed that this one was like all the others: a plain metal cabinet used to put things like CDs, DVDs and licensed software under lockdown. Then I dug a bit deeper, and when I saw what this cabinet is truly capable of, I began to remember the old adage that says that "when you assume, you make an *ss out of u and me."
Needless to say, I was wrong. This wasn't any ordinary storage cabinet. It was a treasure trove of storage possibilities. From the outside, it doesn't look like anything particularly special, but thanks to all of the optional accessories you can choose from to accompany it, it can be turned into an ultra-custom dream cabinet. Want to store CDs and DVDs? No problem – there are special dividers designed just for that. Need to hang files and store binders? Easy – there are special drawers and compartments for that too. But I think my absolute favorite would have to be the mail cubbies, so that you can sort and store mail for a bunch of people at once. I'm not so sure why I like those so much, but I think it might be because they remind me of Fawlty Towers, with John Cleese flipping out in front of the hotel's front desk mail compartments.
Sorry, we're talking multimedia storage, not BBC classics. Anyway, the whole concept is that you order the basic cabinet, and then treat it like a blank canvas, customizing it with whatever floats your boat. And then it's beautiful, organized storage galore – under lock and key anytime you choose. Who knew that mere office storage could be this good?
The CableOrganizer E-Mail Club: Why You've Gotta Get in on the Action
Filed under: Uncategorized
It's painfully Monday, and my mind keeps drifting toward more fun and diverting times, like this past weekend (which was extra amusing, thanks to Halloween), and even last week, when we ran our E-mail Costume Contest. Never heard of it? In that case, you must not be one of our subscribers. Sounds like someone (that's you, by the way) has some opting-in to do.
Why sign up to get e-mails from CableOrganizer.com? First of all, it's free. Secondly, it's all about you. We let you in on new products that we think might be of interest to you, or make your life or job easier. Third, it can save you money. We've been known to keep our e-mail subscribers posted on deals, and who doesn't like getting every chance they can to save money on stuff they need? And last (but absolutely not least), they're fun. That's right: fun. As in games and prizes, which we randomly throw out there via e-mail every now and then.
What kind of prizes, you ask? The good stuff: in the past 6 weeks or so, we've given away a restaurant gift card, a cake from the nationally-known (Oprah digs them) We Take the Cake bakery, and even donated $1 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure for every e-mail game response sent back by our customers. Now that's my idea of teaming up to make a difference.
But I have to say, my absolute favorite so far has been last week's Costume Contest. We CableOrganizers are a fun and quirky bunch (to say the least), and we always make the most of Halloween, and tend to get a little competitive costume-wise. So this year, instead of deliberating amongst ourselves, we sent out photos of our top 3 costumed individuals/teams, and let our e-mail subscribers do the judging. Everyone who sent in a vote was entered into a drawing to win one of the Oprah-approved cakes I just mentioned, and now there's one very lucky gentleman eagerly awaiting a FedEx box full of autumny goodies. And it could have been you, had you only been on our e-mail list…
Don't miss out on anything else… sign up, and get in on the action!

If you are choosing 50th anniversary gifts you will find yourself in a sea of gold, real and not so real. Hopefully if you are looking for a themed anniversary gift like this then you have found lots of ideas in the 50th wedding anniversary and party section.
But not all couples are traditional, not all couples like gold and not all gift givers can afford the gold gift that they would really like to give. For those couples there has to be an alternative and thankfully there is!
If you have been married for 50 years you have to have a good sense of humor! And a number of other qualities like tolerance, forgiveness and forgetfulness also help, along with lots of love too!
So if your anniversary couple enjoys a bit of a giggle why not treat them to a his and hers t-shirt.
There are lots to choose from at Zazzle.
A bouquet of personalized gold roses would make a beautiful keepsake for a 50th anniversary.
You can order a single rose or a whole bouquet.
More details from Just Paper Roses.
Personalize with your names and date of your anniversary.
The reason that couples stay together for 50 years is not just that they have a shared sense of humor it is also that they are truly in love.
Your Love Story
After 50 years you will have an epic love story and one that we know you would enjoy to read.
You can create your very own love story, with your special moments and maybe even the ones that make you laugh the most.
This is a gift that will be treasured for years.
Love for 50 years is summed up perfectly in this Precious Moments figure. The holding of hands and the looking into each others eyes is lovely. If your anniversary couple collect another type of figurine then you may be lucky to find that there is one dedicated to celebrate a 50th anniversary. If not have a look at the couple figures or ones that have love or marriage as part of the title.
Collectibles are a great anniversary gift, you could start their collection for them and buy them the first piece, or look at adding to a collection that they already love.If your anniversary couple don't collect anything see if you can make enquires as to whether they still have their dinner service that they probably received as a wedding gift. You could see if you could replace items that have been broken over the years.
If your couple love to have cosy nights in and have their favorite chair, then how about this 50th anniversary throw. It would have pride of place in their home and would also look great on their bed or even as a wall hanging.
You could add to the throw and make a cosy night in gift basket with a box of chocolates, a bottle of wine and a movie that you know they will love. It could even be a movie from the year they were married.
This family throw and many others are available at Personal Creations.
Talking of gift baskets, we came across this great retro candy gift box filled with candy from 1962, it is meant for a 50th birthday but there is nothing stopping you changing the cover of the box or adding the candy to your own gift basket.
Of course you don't have to theme your anniversary gift, if you know they would love a new plant for their garden or theatre and cinema tickets then that would still be a great 50th anniversary gift.

- Narcissistic Personality Disorder In Your Partner
Are You Treated Differently in Private than in Public?
Kim Cooper
'The dysfunction formally known as Narcissistic Personality Disorder' is quite a mouthful and victims of domestic abuse have enough on their plate already, living with a manipulative partner (and the public perception that what they are experiencing must be because of their own stupidity that they don't, "just leave") that the least we can do for them is find a new and better term.
'Gay' became 'homosexual' and homosexuality was also (coincidentally) at one stage pulled as a mental disorder from the DSM. There are however other words to describe both meanings of the word gay.
Words grow and change over time and naturally take on a life of their own. For the sake of members of dysfunctional families however, already torn by confusion at the hands of their partners two faced charming/aggressive behavior, maybe we need to find a better term than narcissism, which is all their own?
A person with NPD will in fact have a greater than average risk of being injured or killed by a partner who finally decides they have had enough of being lied to, scapegoated, cheated and conned.
Pity the police called on to investigate these matters, because this person will be a professional at playing the victim, and may also be an expert at provoking anger and violence in others to better hide their own crimes.
Control may be the issue certainly, but insults and put downs will generally be the weapon of choice and a person with the characteristics of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, while certainly causing their family despair, may also cause so much chaos in their own and their family's lives (while also hiding possible addictions and immoral behavior) that they can be very hard to pick.
Domestic abuse is usually considered something that occurs in poorer suburbs, perpetrated by men with little education, as an old fashioned and brutal means of getting their way. The real story of domestic abuse however lies hidden in the very term we have been investigating here and it knows no social or educational barriers what-so-ever.
Meanwhile, many very desperate individuals, when consulting better educated professionals, still hear the term narcissism used to describe the chaos of a home life with an egotistical, two faced, partner who despite dishing out put downs and aggression also makes it almost impossible to divorce.
Well meaning certainly - but soon every older person with the slightest grudge against gen Y began ranting about Facebook and how irredeemably self interested all young people have become, while assuring us that as teenagers they had never been the slightest bit self-centered or immature.
Then along came the TV psychologist, quite rightly warning that we might be breeding narcissism in our society from celebrity worship and a general lack of emotionally mature role models in the media and on TV.
They did not understand that a true narcissist would probably only behave this way with their intimates, and hence unpopular, insecure and pompous types, rather than charming, two-faced. controlling manipulators, tended to get branded with the NPD label.
Meanwhile, those looking to identify a narcissistic character from the DSM were ticking boxes when witnessing arrogant and grandiose behavior which lacked empathy, and it wasn't long until some even decided narcissism must be caused by a baby being fed too often with a silver spoon!
The cult classic 'Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy' could have helped with this. It's narcissistic captain Zaphod Beeblebrox was clearly two faced and in the TV series version of this epic, this famous narcissist even had two heads!
Meanwhile back in the marriage counseling camps, therapists and clients alike - with little to go on about what a narcissistic person really looked like - were turning to the DSM looking to find out more about what this disorder was really all about. The description they found was useful, except that it mostly left out the fact that these people are 'two faced'.
Some people suffering from Narcissistic Personality Disorder were scared badly by this 'doctor's' writing and came to believe they were much more evil and their situation much more hopeless than was likely the case. Our psychopathic doc reveled in this fear and for a time held sway over an army of codependent spouses who flocked to his websites looking for help. Once there he convinced many that their lying, cheating partners were plotting and scheming psychopaths out hunting in the woods at night, rather than simply avoiding their responsibilities by blaming others for their problems and hanging out in bars.
Already light years from Liberace and Marylin (the narcissistic showmen), the confusion had only really just begun ...
This man's lengthy and seductive descriptions of his own twisted and psychopathic mind soon became popular online reading and the term narcissism now began its use by journalists and psychologists alike (deceived by this man's false credentials) describing the full gamut of psychopathic behavior from serial killers to kidnapper/rapists.
Next stop on our time-line we meet the psychopath (later diagnosed on camera for a TV documentary), in jail for securities fraud who, with too much time on his hands, decided 'malignant narcissism' was what he was suffering from and, self-diagnosed, decided to pick up a PHD as cheap and fast as he could to become the new 'online expert' in this field.
Later when Narcissistic Personality Disorder first appeared in the DSM, it was not a phrase people in decent society were likely to hear, instead it was a term you only learned when you set out seeking professional help for a lying and cheating spouse. Narcissism, describing the traits of this disorder, now gave psychologists a more professional term for the behavior that 90% of country music songs had traditionally been written about!
Psychiatrists always look deeper however (and like relating things to sex) and so they defined narcissism as the (very normal and healthy) human tendency to choose a sexual partner that looks similar to our self.
Back in the days when the word 'gay' described happiness, narcissism meant 'showman-like' and a narcissistic individual was likely to be in big demand. Liberace and Marylin would each have fit this bill and (quite rightly) no one saw anything sinister in their twinkling eyes and smiles.
The (Con) Artist Formerly Known as Narcissistic Personality Disorder
-With so much confusion around the meaning of the word narcissism, is there little wonder that Narcissistic Personality Disorder is set to be pulled from the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (the DSM V).
Whether pulled from the next DSM or not, the two faced, skirt chasing, back stabbing, manipulative charmers this disorder describes will hardly be going away!

Eliminating the Need for Bowel Prep Could Spur More People to Get Screened for Colon Cancer.
The Laxative-Free 'Virtual Colonoscopy'
For many people, preparing for a colonoscopy is sometimes more daunting than the procedure itself.
You typically stop eating solid food for at least a day, and then drink what seems like gallons of liquid to clean out your bowel. You need to stay close to a bathroom, because you will be going and going and going.
Dread of the prep might be one reason why, according to government estimates, about 4 out of 10 Americans ages 50-75 don't meet recommendations for colorectal cancer screening. One common screening option is a colonoscopy every 10 years for those at average risk for colorectal cancer.

YHS Volleyball
The Yerington varsity volleyball team, which finished second in the NIAA Division III, had six members named to the Lahontan Pod all-league team, with three of those earning Division III All-State honors.
"I thought these girls were very deserving," coach Debbie Rife said of the honorees. "They worked very hard, and we're very proud of all of them."
The Lahontan Pod had two first teams, one for the Division I-A teams and the other for III; and Kassidy Lommori, a freshman who finished with 331 kills and 33 aces on the season, and Chloe Dane, a sophomore who had 184 kills and 90 blocks, received first-team honors.
Jazzmin Bryan, a junior who had 145 kills and 89 blocks, received second-team honors, and named to the honorable mention list, comprised of all six teams, were senior setter Savena Rogers, who had 383 assists and a team-high 95.9 serving percentage; senior libero Bailee Banta, who had 408 digs, to break a school record; and junior outside hitter Angela Sciarani, who had the team's highest dig percentage at 96.2.
"It was a great season and fun for us as coaches," said Rife. "It was an awesome experience and a true blessing to coach this team," she added, saying winning the zone tourney title and finishing runner-up at the state tourney "was definitely a true team effort."
Smith Valley girls basketball
The SVHS girls varsity basketball team opened its season last Tuesday with a 41-40 victory over Silver Stage and earned two more victories last weekend at the Hawthorne Serpent Classic.
The Bulldogs play three more games this weekend at the Comstock Classic in Virginia City, facing eastern Nevada opponents.
After last Tuesday's win, Smith Valley won two of five games at the tournament in Hawthorne.
"We are improving with every game," coach David Vick said. "For the tournament this week, we just need to keep moving forward and getting better as a team."
Smith Valley defeated Lone Pine 39-24 on Friday and Pyramid Lake Saturday, 39-18 to close the tourney. The Bulldogs opened the tournament Thursday with a 50-31 loss to Incline before falling 38-21 to Virginia City. On Friday night, SVHS fell 46-24 to Yerington.
Yerington boys basketball
Slow starts made victory tough for the Lions, who won only one of five games at last weekend's Serpent Classic.
The Lions play in the Sutro Classic in Dayton this weekend, facing the Douglas JV Thursday (6 p.m.), Truckee on Friday (6 p.m.) and Fallon Saturday (9 a.m.). A final game will be against the team finishing in the same place in a second tournament pool.
Last weekend, Yerington fell 76-60 to Lincoln County, then fell 71-51 to Spring Mountain before coming back with a 52-47 win over White Pine. Saturday ended with a 66-38 loss to SECTA of Las Vegas before the dropped a 41-39 game to Mineral County.
"Overall we're working on the basics," Landa said. "We're trying to get a bunch of young guys playing together."
Lincoln County: Landa said the team did "a lot of youthful stuff" against an experienced and tall Lynx team, and trailed 38-24 at halftime. Lakota Tom hit five 3-pointers in leading with 21 points while Corbin Cliften added 17.
Spring Mountain: A huge halftime deficit was too much to overcome in this loss. Top scorers: Cliften 17, Matt Brannan 11, Tom 8.
White Pine: Yerington pushed the ball against the bigger Bobcats, and Cliften hit 8-10 free throws in leading the team with 14 points. Brian Ramirez hit two treys in scoring 10 points and Jeremy Foli scored 8.
SECTA: Landa said this was one of the most impressive and experienced teams in the tourney. Cliften was alone in double figures with 18 points.
Hawthorne: Tom hit four 3-pointers, all in the second half when YHS rallied, in leading the Lions with 16 points whil Cliften added 10 and Victor Williams 6 points.

Who's Online:
Very nice. I like the end reference to Celeborn and Galadriel's history—it might encourage more people to read Tolkien's other work.
Author's Response: Thanks. I had to go back and reread a little myself to write it, since I'm not as familiar as I ought to be.
This is a beautiful story and very well written. One minor quibble,I don't think Aragorn is descded from Feanor, but from his half brother if I recall correctly.
Author's Response: D'oh! Of course it's Finwe's house, not Feanor's. Thanks for the feedback.
This is the first story I've read, so far, in which Galadriel and Celeborn share an intimate moment. It's too bad that they drifted apart by the beginning of the Fourth Age. Do you think they were eventually reunited in Valinor? Very nice story.
Author's Response: I'd love to think that they were. Maybe that's a story to be written. I'm glad you enjoyed the story. One story I've found that shows tenderness between Galadriel and Celeborn is Gythia's "Hand in Marriage," which has an interesting take on their relationship as well.
How beautiful, and how sad, so many memories. I love the part about her memories of Finrod and the Ring of Barahir; a lot of people don't realize it's history or how old it was when Aragron bore it.
I would like to read more stories of Galadriel in Doriath, I think I have only read one, on SWG, something that tells of when she was young and first in love, before fighting the '' long defeat ''. How sad the Celeborn's '' treasure '' did not stay with him '' until the end.''
A lovely bit of writing!
Author's Response: I've always thought that Celeborn's parting words to Aragorn were magnificently sad too -- another moment of Tolkien's brilliance. I'm flattered that you connect them with my story!

Acorn Recipe - Acorn Cupcakes with Wild Grape Cream Cheese Frosting
We made this early this spring, and brought them as a "taste" to a wild weed walk we took with Blanche Derby in Massachusetts. She gives samples of prepared dishes along with her tours to really show people what they can do with the wild food they just learned about in the field. We made something completely out of season for spring, but we used wild food we had gathered and preserved last autumn.
The wild grape (Vitus species) jam was also produced last autumn from various species of wild grapes that we find growing along field edges and near water. It is the tastiest jam we make, along with being the most popular. I say it is an adult grape jam, although there is no alcohol involved. The flavor is so much more intense than the stuff you get at the store, and the flavor improves with age, like wine. The jam was added to a softened cream cheese and butter mixture, along with a bit more confectioner's sugar to make the frosting, and I also hollowed out the cupcakes and added a dollop of straight jam for an intense flavor burst.
Acorn Cupcakes with Wild Grape Cream Cheese Icing
makes about 42 mini cupcakes or 2-8" round cakes
1 3/4 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
4 oz. softened butter or shortening
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
6 oz. buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. acorn flour
1. Preheat the oven to 325° and line muffin pans with papers.
2. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
3. Cream together the butter or shortening with the sugar until fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl between each addition.
5. Add half of the flour mixture, mix. Add the buttermilk, mix, Add the remaining flour mixture.
6. Fold in the ground acorn flour and mix until incorporated.
7. Bake 8" round for 25-35 minutes, bake cupcakes 12-18 minutes until cake is springy. Cool.
Wild Grape Cream Cheese Frosting
4 oz. softened butter
6 oz. softened cream cheese
3 c. confectioners sugar
4 T wild grape jam
1. Mix butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add confectioners sugar and mix until stiff, scraping bowl.
2. Add the grape jam. You want a pretty purple frosting. If the frosting is too soft, add more confectioners sugar to help it stiffen. Chill the frosting before frosting the cupcakes, and chill the cupcakes once frosted.

I found your site after searching for what to do with the acorn flour I picked up at our Asian market last week.
Too snowy here in Chicago to go foraging for fruit so I used some orange vanilla jam I canned this summer to make the frosting.
The acorn flour adds a unique flavor and I love it. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Indian marine exports cross 5 billion dollar mark
The export of marine products from India reached an all time high of USD 5 billion during the fiscal year 2013-14.
The increase in exports saw a sharp rise from the previous fiscal year's figure of USD 3.5 billion. Exports amounted to 983, 756 metric tonnes.
"I'm very happy to say that Indian seafood has crossed the USD 5 billion export mark. This year recorded a growth of 35 pc from last year. Both fish and shrimp have seen highest exports," said Marine Production Export Development Authority (MPEDA) chairman, Leena.
The MPEDA, a statutory body under the Union Government, is a nodal agency for promotion of export of marine products from India. It is present in all the Maritime States and is responsible for development schemes, aquaculture production apart from export promotion.
"We have about 500 processing facilities in the country out of which 300 export to the European Union and around 170, to the rest of the world," said Nair.
The rise in maritime exports during 2013-14 has been attributed to increase in export of the L. Vannamei shrimp, commonly known as the Whiteleg shrimp.
This coupled with the stable economies of America and the European Union has helped India reach the USD 5 billon mark, said Nair.
In comparison with the previous year, seafood exports recorded a growth of around 6 percent in terms of quantity. The unit value realization also reached to record high from USD 3.78 per kilogram during 2012-13 to USD 5.09 per kilograms during 2013-14.
In terms of quantity, the US is the largest market for frozen shrimps, followed by European Union, South East Asia, and Japan, say reports.
MPEDA aims at exporting shipments worth USD 6 billion this fiscal year, said Nair.

Batelco-Capital Club forms a partnership
The aim of this partnership is to create added value and provide a unique experience to customers of both organizations. Customers of both entities will receive premium treatment at the Capital Club and Batelco.
For the partnership duration, both parties have collaborated to provide an unforgettable experience for customers. The Capital Club has been transformed into a traditional, relaxing Majlis area for customers to enjoy a cosy environment, while guests and members will have the chance to win a number of high value prizes throughout the Holy Month, courtesy of Batelco.
As a first step into the partnership, Batelco is extending the privileges of Al Dana Club to Capital Club members through dedicated promotions designed specifically for the partnership period, and by enabling members to apply for Al Dana to enjoy extended privileges. On the other hand, current Al Dana members are able to enjoy the hospitality of the Capital Club just like its members, throughout the duration of Ramadan.
Batelco Group General Manager Media Relations Ahmed Al Janahi said that Batelco is very pleased to align itself with Bahrain's premier private business club especially during the Ramadan period.
"Ramadan is a very special time on the Bahraini calendar and we therefore strive to support a varied range of activities that add value for our customers and all residents of Bahrain," Al Janahi, said.
Capital Club General Manager Shahnaz Pakravan extended appreciation to Batelco's Al Dana Club for its invaluable support to ensure the success of their first of a kind event, and also for providing its members with the opportunity to experience Al Dana special treatment. In addition, she thanked Batelco for the provision of high value prizes to add a further element of excitement for the Club's members throughout the month.
The partnership is the beginning of many future joint campaigns that aim at providing added value to the market.

Update May 1: The boys are on their way back to SQ for their one hour show. We have a short video from yesterday. Enjoy!
VIDEO: Click here
As previously reported, Metallica decided to shoot the video for the title track, "St. Anger", at The Big House - San Quentin State Prison. Here we are, back at Metallica HQ, after spending the last 18 hours at San Quentin. I think I am not only speaking for myself when I say that today's visit made a huge impression on everyone. There were many raw emotions going around between band members, crew, correctional officers, and inmates.
I have seen hundreds and hundreds of Metallica shows all over the world and numerous video shoots. Today's event will definitely go down in Metallica history. The band entered the prison around 7am this morning. When they took their first steps on the prison grounds, they looked at each other and knew this would not be just another video...
The first thing we are told by our designated correctional officer is, "San Quentin has a No hostage policy". This basically means if someone gets taken hostage there will be no negotiating, you are on your own buddy. Good morning to you too...from there our day continued.
The video was shot with the band performing at various locations throughout the compound. From outside, during the prisoners lunch break, to inside the cell block. This video was truly unique... everyone involved were authentic inmates & correctional officers. One of the main correctional officers, that worked there for over 22 years, explained that no one has EVER done anything like what Metallica did here today. He further explained that when he informed the inmates about the upcoming event, the response was overwhelming. He also stated that the feeling is that music is something that everyone from correctional officers to inmates have in common and feel very passionate about. At the end of the night, when the band were on their way home James, looking very emotional, says to the other guys - "This was the best one ever...wow".
Metallica will be back tomorrow at San Quentin to perform for the inmates, as a thanks for their help in making this video and the experience so unforgettable. Keep checking this site for more updates & pictures.

Broncos cornerback Quentin Jammer talks during Super Bowl media day Tuesday in Newark, N.J. / Elsa/Getty Images
Broncos cornerback Quentin Jammer talks during Super Bowl media day Tuesday in Newark, N.J. / Elsa/Getty Images
NEWARK, N.J. — Quentin Jammer has never made a Pro Bowl and never been considered one of the best cornerbacks in the game, but 12 years after the Lions passed on him to take quarterback Joey Harrington with the third pick of the 2002 draft, Jammer is still alive and well in the NFL.
A backup cornerback with the Denver Broncos, Jammer said Tuesday he hasn�t given much thought to what would have happened had the Lions drafted him instead of Harrington.
�I don�t know. Who�s to say?� Jammer said at Super Bowl XLVIII media day at the Prudential Center. �You can�t really speak on it because it didn�t happen and I�m not a guy who will sit here and talk about speculation, what would have or should have happened. Anything could have happened. We could or could not have went to a Super Bowl in Detroit, who knows? I�m just happy to be where I am right now with an opportunity to win one.�
While Harrington�s career petered out after seven NFL seasons, the first four of which he spent in Detroit, Jammer, the fifth pick in the draft, played 11 years with the San Diego Chargers before signing with the Broncos as a free agent last spring.
He has just 21 career interceptions, but has had a commendable career by any measure even if he thought it was going to start in Detroit.
�I thought that�s where I was going to end up and it�s a blessing to be just to even be thought of to be picked in the top three,� he said. �That was an awesome time in my life.�
So is this.
On Sunday, Jammer will play in his first Super Bowl, �the cherry on the sundae� of his NFL career.
�It�s been awesome. It�s really been awesome,� he said. �This is what you come to the league for, actually what guys really play football for other than money. This is what you play for, to be here, to enjoy this experience and to get yourself a ring. It�s the pinnacle of every football player�s career.�
LYNCH MOB: Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch rarely spoke with the media this year and made only a brief appearance at media day Tuesday.
He said he doesn�t enjoy the attention and cut short his interview after less than seven minutes.
�I�m just about action,� Lynch said. �You say �hut� and there�s action. All the unnecessary talk, it don�t do nothing for me. I appreciate that people want to hear from me, but I just go to work and do my thing. You feel me?�
Lynch was fined $50,000 for failing to meet his media obligations earlier this postseason. The NFL put that fine on hold for the duration of the playoffs, but could dock him again for his antics Tuesday.
�I won�t be satisfied with this until it�s all over,� Lynch said. �When we win, that�s when I�ll be satisfied. Until then, I�ve got work, but I appreciate all this. Y�all have a good day.�
