Meet David Eckoff
"David Eckoff is a cannonball of energy, delivering passion and engagement." – Chris Brogan
My name is David Eckoff, and I specialize in developing and launching game-changing online consumer media businesses. My goal is to develop consumer products that are important to the daily lives of millions of people.
Currently, I am cofounder of Pickoff Sports, a technology startup developing a SaaS social games platform. In 2012, the company was selected as one of fourteen startups to participate in the Flashpoint accelerator program at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Our initial work to prove user engagement launched in Alpha and we are entering our next phase of development.
I'm also an advisor to media and technology companies, helping take revolutionary ideas from the drawing board to market, through my company Revolutionary Ventures. I've worked with companies including Kleiner Perkins backed Zazzle.com, live interactive broadcasting platform Ustream.TV, 3D Virtual World innovator Kaneva, global lottery and gaming leader Scientific Games, and more.
I have been a member of the Board of Directors of Health Discovery Corporation, a publicly traded molecular diagnostics company that uses advanced mathematical techniques to analyze large amounts of data to uncover patterns that might otherwise be undetectable. I was recommended by a major shareholder and appointed an independent director to serve the remaining term of a previous director who resigned. My focus was on turn-around and corporate governance.
Previously, I was Vice President, New Products at Turner Broadcasting (CNN, TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network) responsible for overseeing the development, evaluation and launch of new products across the Turner entertainment, news and animation divisions. While in Turner's New Products Group, I developed and launched PlayOn Sports, an innovative technology platform that enables sports rights holders to economically produce live video webcasts for games not on TV. I also evaluated and developed a variety of new product concepts, including an online entertainment network for producers of original shows created for the Internet.
Before joining Turner, I was Senior Director at RealNetworks Inc., overseeing product management, business development, and strategy. While at Real, I led the live online hit show "CBS Big Brother 24/7" (doubling revenue year over year); invented and launched the first of its kind online video distribution platform, a forerunner of YouTube; developed product plans revitalizing and repositioning the company's flagship consumer online product from a cable TV-like business to a broader media and services business; developed live online sports audio-cast products; and negotiated deals with CBS television, FOX Sports, Primedia, ESPN, CSTV, Conde Nast, Rolling Stone, McAfee and more.
Before joining Real, I was Senior Vice-President at Rivals.com, a 180-employee start-up private company funded by Intel, Softbank, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners and News Corporation (Fox). While at Rivals, I developed the Rivals.com sports news network destination, grew its audience from startup to more than 5.4 million unique users through an innovative network development model, and led the company's transition to a "freemium" business model.
Prior to joining Rivals, I was at IBM Corporation in various financial management positions. Before that, I was with Raytheon Company, where I was selected as one of ten participants in the company's Financial Management Development Program.
I hold an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a BBA in Accounting from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
I'm also an Eagle Scout, a title held for life, and a level attained by just 2% of membership since 1911. "Once an Eagle, always an Eagle."
A Bit More About David Eckoff
I have a passion for innovation, new product development, customer experience, fitness & nutrition, technology, media, music and sports.
I serve on the board of advisors for companies including: Competitive Sports Analysis, a software company that provides highly accurate predictive data analysis for fantasy sports players; Digital Strength Training, an exciting company developing innovative strength training exercise machines; and YourSports.com.
I'm currently a member of the Board of Directors of Morningside Farmers Market, a non-profit dedicated to serving our community with the highest quality fresh, local and certified organic produce, since 1995.
I've been a semi-finals judge on the Technology Alliance of Georgia (TAG) Business Launch Competition for 5 years. I love seeing the variety of startups in Georgia. And enjoy learning from the perspective of the other judges, such as Sig Mosley ("the godfather of Atlanta angel investing"), Michael Price and more. The competition is designed to help a Georgia-based start up technology company launch its business, with the finalists receiving a large cash and services prize. Entrants also have the opportunity to be mentored by a successful tech entrepreneur.
I co-founded Spitter, Inc. an early stage company dedicated to aggregating the explosion of news and discussion on the web and filtering and organizing that content by niche topics of interest to passionate fans.
I've been a professional technology journalist, writing a regular column "Business Edge, with David Eckoff" for hyper-local website Patch, about how companies use social media and technology to connect with their customers and grow their businesses. I have also written articles for industry publications such as PaidContent.org. I love talking with entrepreneurs and writing about technology.
Additionally, in 1993 I founded InsideCarolina, a print magazine and paid subscription website covering University of North Carolina basketball and football. I developed what was in 1993 an innovative business model for "open source news reporting", a key to the longevity of the publication. Notably, the November 27, 2000 edition of ESPN Magazine named InsideCarolina as the top college basketball website. In 2000, I successfully sold the business and today Inside Carolina remains one of the top college sports publications in the nation, now associated with FOX. You can read a short history of Inside Carolina on Wikipedia.
I was also certified as an Instructor/trainer for the world-renowned 12-week Dale Carnegie Course, which I taught at various times between 1989 and 1999. This classic class, founded in 1912 and attended by more than 8 million people in more than 80 countries, produces rapid and lasting skill development for leaders. Over the years, numerous famous leaders have credited taking the Dale Carnegie Course for their success in business, including Warren E. Buffet (CEO, Berkshire Hathaway), J.W. Marriott, Jr. (CEO, Marriott Hotels), Lee Iacocca (President, Chrysler Corporation), Lyndon B. Johnson (President of the United States), Bill Belichick (Head Coach, New England Patriots), Dick Vermeil (Head Coach, Philadelphia Eagles, St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Chiefs), and more.
My passions:
* My passion is bringing innovative ideas from the drawing board to market, then growing those businesses. I've defined go-to-market strategies and led teams in companies ranging from startup to Fortune 500.
* I love discovering untapped opportunities through data analysis, listening to customers, and building business through the best uses of social media.
* My product philosophy: it's great to care about user experience, and it's even better to care about your users.
* Am known for evangelizing the concept: "You don't make money from your ideas, you make money from the execution of your ideas." Execution is everything.

Hi David:
Glad to see you finally have a name for what you've been spouting for years i.e. Eckology. Is Tom Cruise involved somehow? If so, can I get Katie's number from you?
Have been a big fan since our days at the Realplace. Greener pastures are always welcome in Atlanta though I'm sure.
Give me a call when we can make a deal for major monies.

Makeup Test: Sally. by cupcake-rufflebuttWatch
©2009-2016 cupcake-rufflebutt
For a change, I thought I'd upload a few in-progress or test shots of various costumes that, for one reason or another, have never been finished. Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas is a character that I first considered cosplaying just after I made my Corpse Bride costume in 2005. Over the years I've done makeup tests, picked out a wig and shoes, and even sketched out the patterns on her dress, but the project has always sat on the back burner. One of these days I'll get around to her, but until then, here is a VERY old makeup test I did back in June 2006. I can't recall my exact supplies, but they were minimal: A white cream base [probably Mehron], blue eye shadow, black liquid eyeliner, lipstick, and some fake eyelashes. I think if I were to do this now, I would go to the extent of adding fake stitching.
Please no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy! <3
Please no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy! <3
i love the colors. most people use bright bright blues and fire engine reds. this is adorably beautiful.
Thanks! This is a really old makeup test, though. You should take a glance through some of my newer uploads of the full costume. I tried to make a point of using faded, murky colours, like those seen in the movie.
oh yes! Those are perfect to Sally. This one though, it doesn't even have to be Sally, I love the colors.
this is super cute! your face. the make-up. your hair colour. seriously everything is so cute! love it!
The eyeliner is a wee bit sloppy but overall i like it
Thank you for your comment, though there was no need to be critical. This image is over 6 years old and was a makeup "test" -- something I did in a matter of minutes with very minimal supplies on hand. It was hardly something I intended to be taken seriously.
i think it should be bluer sallys completion is darker
Taken from my image description:
"Please no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy!"
This image is about 6 years old at this point and was a makeup "test." I certainly could improve upon it now, but don't have the time to do so. Perhaps you could upload your own rendition of Sally's makeup?

yeah i could do that i did a makeup thing for the corpse bride once so it shouldnt be that hard
this is gorgeus, but I would put some more black eyeliner to make the dark circles deeper
To quote my photo description: "Please no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy!" Regardless, this makeup test was done five years ago and there are a million things I would correct if I were to do it today.
sorry -_- It wasn't my intention to be bitchy. I never thought it was a bad makeup though, just that I can't agree with the (succesful)experiment. Again, I'm truly sorry for being so out of line (I pictured it would come out quite less violent than it actually turned out)
Wow ! Awesome ! Good work !
Very nice job! Beautiful eyes too!
Very cool! I love how the eyes look!
beautiful eyes and those eyelashes! <3
This is beautiful! I hope you don't mind if I copy this makeup for my Halloween costume. =]
Bitchin. Last Halloween I worked in a haunted house scaring people at the Queen Mary and I was a scary doll. I wish I would've had you to do my makeup. Your makeup looks badass, you did a stellar job.
Aw, thank you! That sounds like a job I couldn't handle, since I don't like scary things, even if I'm the one doing the scaring. ^__^;
Wow, that's awesome!!! I love especially the eyes!! So cute^^
Cool lol
really good job ^^
I think you need some sort of dark lipstick...
Other than that your eyes are sooo adorable! ^_^
Other than that your eyes are sooo adorable! ^_^
When I lightened the photos to fix the poor lighting, the lipstick lost its colour. ^__^
Ah, sorry for doubting your make up skills. ^_^' Are you going to post a full cosplay soon? The quality of your costumes are always amazing.
Not a problem! Like I said, it's a very old picture. I was slightly embarassed to upload it. I'm working on several new costumes for Otakon, so there should be some new progress pictures coming, and I'll have photos of them after the con. ^__^
You make a beautiful sally!
I love Sally, I am so pleased I have the same name as her!
I love Sally, I am so pleased I have the same name as her!
Oh wow! Really really awesome!
Definitely like the idea of fake stitching, but this is still really good.
Yeah, I feel confident I could do this 100000x better nowadays. Hard to believe it's 3 years old, LOL.
Love it!! ^^
Pretty awesome makeup! I had a tip to give you, but you said no critiques, so I will oblige.. Can't wait to see the rest of the costume!
Thanks for obliging. This was a very rough makeup test, done in a hurry and with minimal supplies. It was also done three years ago, when I was just starting to cosplay and dabble in makeup. Definitely feel confident I could one-up this attempt nowadays.
I'd love to see it! You've done incredible cosplays! I only wish I had enough money to attempt good cosplay.. haha.

SEC: Recent national champions collide
Steve Megargee
Rivals.com College Football
Big East |
Big 12 |
Big Ten |
Is there a "Game of the Century" in the SEC this week? Maybe not.
This Saturday night showdown at the Swamp marks the first time the national champions from the previous two seasons have faced each other since Notre Dame defeated Miami 29-20 in 1990.
"Make no bones about it this is a fun game to play," LSU coach Les Miles said. "You play in the SEC, you play classic matchups, and you better enjoy this one."
Florida must win Saturday to maintain any realistic hope of winning the national title, though LSU proved last season that a two-loss team isn't necessarily eliminated from the championship sweepstakes.
The Gators lost their last home game 31-30 to Ole Miss. Although Florida has scored at least 26 points in each of its five games, the Gators' offense has come under fire for inconsistency and the inability to utilize the team's wide assortment of weapons.
"The one thing you have on offense right now is a bunch of extremely competitive people that want the ball, want to contribute, want to do this and that, and if it doesn't score every time, it feels like the weight of the world is on their shoulders," Florida coach Urban Meyer said. "I can see that. As a result, there are penalties or (a lack of) execution."
While Florida's relative struggles on offense have come under scrutiny this season, Miles doesn't see much reason for criticism.
"Florida is a tremendous team, in my opinion," Miles said. "They don't have any weaknesses. They're nationally ranked at No. 11, which is probably underselling them some. I think they're as talented a football team as I've seen."
Recent history suggests the Gators will have a breakthrough performance this week. A rivalry that once favored the road team now has the hosts feeling right at home. The road team won four in a row in this rivalry from 2001-04 Florida even beat LSU at Death Valley in 2003 to hand the eventual BCS national champions their only loss but the home team has won the past three meetings.
Florida QB Tim Tebow vs. LSU defensive line. Tigers DT Ricky Jean-Francois' comments this week about LSU wanting to take Tebow out of the game added spice to a matchup that already carried plenty of intrigue. Jean-Francois, Tyson Jackson and Kirston Pittman help give LSU more star power than just about any defensive line in the nation, though the Tigers currently rank only 70th in the nation in tackles for loss and 78th in sacks. Tebow hasn't dominated defenses quite as much as he did last season, but he remains a matchup nightmare for any defense in the country. Tebow performed the first of his trademark "jump passes" during a 23-10 victory over LSU two years ago. Tebow threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third score against LSU last season, when the Tigers rallied for a 28-24 victory. This game could come down to which of those two forces delivers a breakthrough performance Saturday.
Alabama RB Glen Coffee has run for 466 yards and five touchdowns in his past three games.
Arkansas RB Michael Smith is averaging 105.8 rushing yards and 42.8 receiving yards per game.
Arkansas tight end D.J. Williams has caught at least four passes in each of his five games this season.
Florida WR Percy Harvin has caught a touchdown pass in three consecutive games. Harvin also has rushed for 150 yards on 22 carries during that three-game stretch. But he has missed practice this week with an injured ankle.
Georgia receiver A.J. Green has caught a touchdown pass in back-to-back games.
Georgia LB Rennie Curran has 23 tackles in his past two games.
Kentucky RB Derrick Locke leads the nation with an average of 38 yards per kickoff return.
LSU running back Charles Scott has rushed for at least 102 yards in each of his four games.
Vanderbilt cornerback D.J. Moore leads the nation with an average of 28.5 yards per punt return.
Vanderbilt FS Ryan Hamilton has collected 16 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack and three interceptions in his past two games.
Arkansas kicker Alex Tejada has missed all three of his field-goal attempts this season.
Auburn QBs Chris Todd and Kodi Burns have combined to throw six interceptions and only five touchdown passes this season.
Auburn kicker Wes Byrum has gone 1-for-4 on field-goal attempts in his past four games. Byrum's missed extra point accounted for the final margin Saturday in a 14-13 loss to Vanderbilt.
After having 12 touchdown runs and two touchdown catches last season, Tennessee RB Arian Foster still hasn't reached the end zone this season.
"If we get a good shot on (Tebow), we're going to try our best to take him out of the game. With his size and his heart, it's hard to get a clean shot.
If he does get hurt, there's a trained medical staff at Florida, so you can go to the training room on Sunday." LSU defensive tackle Ricky Jean-Francois to The Orlando Sentinel.
"We never go into any football game trying to hurt a player from the other team. My comments in regard to Florida quarterback Tim Tebow were misinterpreted and were intended to reflect the style of football that we play at LSU. We have great respect for Tim as a player and a competitor. By taking him out of the game, I meant as a defense we are going to try to make him ineffective. I'm sorry that my initial comments were interpreted another way." Jean-Francois in a statement he released later in the week.
"(Jean-Francois) wasn't meaning it like a lot of people took it. You try to use anything as motivation, too, but I don't think he really meant everything he said. Part of it's true. We do have a good training staff." Tebow.
Tennessee offensive coordinator Dave Clawson to VolQuest.com. Tennessee has a third-down conversion percentage of 32.9 to rank 11th in the SEC.
"After evaluating where we are at this point of the season offensively, I felt it was in the best interest of the Auburn football program to make this change. I'm not satisfied with where we are, and I am personally going to take a larger role with the offense the remainder of the season. We are going to work harder than ever to make sure we consistently improve as we move forward." Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville on the decision Wednesday to fire offensive coordinator Tony Franklin, who was hired before last season's Chick-fil-A Bowl to bring the spread offense to the Plains. Auburn is ranked 104th in the nation in scoring and in total offense.
"We want to go to a bowl just like everyone else does, (but) we don't point to six wins. We try to point to each week's game. This is our sixth game. That's what we're more concerned about. Our guys are smart. You can't hide it from them. They know the situation. They know the deal, but I don't think they're obsessed with trying to get the sixth win. They're just trying to get better." Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson. Vandy (5-0) has endured 25 consecutive losing seasons and is seeking its first bowl bid since 1982.
"What they're doing is what we did last year." Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom to The Sun Herald of Biloxi, Miss., about Vanderbilt's surprising start.
After opening the season at wide receiver, Auburn's Mario Fannin has returned to running back - the position he played last season.
Georgia FB Brannan Southerland is expected to return to the offense Saturday against Tennessee. Although he has played special teams, Southerland hasn't played one snap on offense this season while recovering from a foot injury.
Georgia LB Rennie Curran has a knee injury that leaves him doubtful for this week. Darryl Gamble probably would start in his place.
Tennessee has suspended reserve OT Ramone Johnson and G Darius Myers for the Vols' next two games, against Georgia and Mississippi State.
Vanderbilt has trailed at some point in each of its five victories this season. The Commodores are outscoring teams 58-10 in the second half.
Only one of Florida's five opponents this year has started a drive in Gators territory.
Kentucky CB Trevard Lindley had three pass deflections last week against Alabama to give him 29 for his career, breaking Antoine Huffman's school record.
LSU RB Charles Scott is the first Tiger to begin a season with four consecutive 100-yard rushing performances since Charles Alexander in 1978.
Tennessee has allowed only one touchdown run all season.

BREAKING: SCOTUS Justice Antonin Scalia dead at 79 [Darleen Click]
Prayers for his family and for America …
EL PASO — An El Paso source close to Justice Antonin Scalia tells ABC-7 that the 79-year-old died in his sleep last night after a day of quail hunting at Cibolo Creek Ranch outside of Marfa, Texas.
The Justice did not report feeling ill and retired to his room after dinner. The source, who was traveling with Scalia, told ABC-7 an El Paso priest has been called to Marfa.
Scalia was the longest-serving current Justice on the Supreme Court. He was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986.
Follow-up on Trump's raising money for Vets: Weeks later, Veteran's groups haven't received a thing [Darleen Click]
Remember, all donations went to Trump's own foundation … should we be surprised to learn that after all the hoopla has died down, the money has stayed with Trump?
A Trump website set up a day before the rally to receive donations said as of Thursday nearly $1.7 million was raised online, which Mr. Trump said reached $6 million in total with other donations, but the campaign didn't disclose how much was raised that night. The day after the event, his campaign promised to quickly send the cash to nearly two dozen groups and soon presented a handful of them oversize novelty checks for $100,000 from his foundation.
But those big checks can't be cashed, and two weeks later some of the groups are just now beginning to get paid. […]
While one nonprofit said it received a check immediately after the event, most of the groups said they hadn't heard from the Trump foundation about payment for weeks, which a philanthropy expert described as uncommon.
Some of the groups this week received checks, at least one of which appeared to have been sent after questions to the Trump campaign from The Wall Street Journal about the pending payments.
In an interview Wednesday, Mr. Trump said "a lot of the money was sent" already and criticisms are unfounded because he had no obligation to raise the funds. "Out of the goodness of my heart, I raised millions of dollars for the vets," he said.
Um, until those dollars are passed on, they are Trump's and his alone. A nice pool of liquid funds.
The Donald seems to have a lot in common with his dear friend.

Gently, he pulls me up. There's a moment of vertigo, but he wraps my arm around his, steadying me, stepping me toward the door.
One brief moment, I glance behind and see an old woman, the shell that once held me.
I smile up at him as light spills from the door, eager for the next chapter.

SCOTUS says "No" to Obama's power grab over energy [Darleen Click]
The four Leftist justices were not pleased:
A divided Supreme Court on Tuesday abruptly halted President Obama's controversial new power plant regulations, dealing a blow to the administration's sweeping plan to address global warming.
In a 5-4 decision, the court halted enforcement of the plan until after legal challenges are resolved.
The surprising move is a victory for the coalition of 27 mostly Republican-led states and industry opponents that call the regulations "an unprecedented power grab."
By temporarily freezing the rule the high court's order signals that opponents have made a strong argument against the plan. A federal appeals court last month refused to put it on hold.
The court's four liberal justices said they would have denied the request.
The plan aims to stave off the worst predicted impacts of climate change by reducing carbon dioxide emissions at existing power plants by about one-third by 2030. […]
The compliance period starts in 2022, but states must submit their plans to the Environmental Protection Administration by September or seek an extension.
Many states opposing the plan depend on economic activity tied to such fossil fuels as coal, oil and gas. They argued that power plants will have to spend billions of dollars to begin complying with a rule that may end up being overturned.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia, whose coal-dependent state is helping lead the legal fight, hailed the court's decision.
"We are thrilled that the Supreme Court realized the rule's immediate impact and froze its implementation, protecting workers and saving countless dollars as our fight against its legality continues," Morrisey said.
Implementation of the rules is considered essential to the United States meeting emissions-reduction targets in a global climate agreement signed in Paris last month.
Well, since I don't vote with my vagina, I guess I'm going to hell … [Darleen Click]
Madeline Albright sez so …
Former Secretary of State [Madeleine] Albright on Saturday said there was a "special place in hell" for women who backed Sen. Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's primary.
Albright, who served as secretary of state under former President Bill Clinton, came here to make the pitch for fellow former Secretary of State Clinton.
During her remarks, Albright made it clear to women in attendance in the Granite State's capital city — especially those backing Bernie Sanders — that they need to help out Clinton because they have a duty to do so. The former secretary repeated her often-used line that there is "a special place in hell" for women who don't help out other women.
Meanwhile, who but Gloria Steinem, maybe a bit desperate to be relevant, claims young girls are only backing Sanders because that's where the boys are:
Feminist icon — and Hillary Clinton supporter — Gloria Steinem says young women are supporting Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders because "the boys are with Bernie."
Steinem made the comment Friday night in response to a question from comedian and "Real Time" host Bill Maher when asked why the former secretary of state isn't doing better with young women. […]
"They're going to get more activist as they get older," Steinem said. "And when you're young, you're thinking, 'Where are the boys?' The boys are with Bernie."
How, 1950s of Gloria!

California says "Welcome Super Bowl! Welcome NFL players! Please hand over your earnings prior to leaving" [Darleen Click]
California takes the approach to state income taxes the way the Feds tax businesses. If you do any business in California, earn any income in this state, you will be taxed based on your entire yearly earnings.
Remember when Peyton Manning paid New Jersey nearly $47,000 in taxes two years ago on his Super Bowl earnings of $46,000? Manning has nothing on the state taxes facing Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton for Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif. Newton is looking at a tax bill more than twice as much, which will swallow up his entire Super Bowl paycheck, win or lose, thanks to California's tops-in-the-nation tax rate of 13.3%.
Before we get into the numbers, let's do a quick review of the jock tax rules applied to professional athletes (similar tax rules apply to anyone doing business across state lines, but they are rarely enforced). States tax a player based on their calendar-year income. They apply a duty day calculation which takes the ratio of duty days within the state over total duty days for the year. That ratio is then multiplied by the player's salary to arrive at a state's allocable income. […]
Skip ahead two years and now Manning is back in the Super Bowl against the highly-talented and highly-compensated Cam Newton, who signed a five-year, $103.8 million contract extension in June. Newton has already earned $58,800 so far this year for week 17 of the 2015 season and $71,000 in playoff bonuses. Newton is due a $10 million signing bonus and $13 million in base salary for the 2016 season, which he will receive the full amount during the regular season. Luckily, week 17 next season will occur on New Year's Day 2017, thus shielding about $765,000 from California's grasp.
If the Panthers win the Super Bowl, Newton will earn another $102,000 in playoff bonuses, but if they lose he will only net another $51,000. The Panthers will have about 206 total duty days during 2016, including the playoffs, preseason, regular season and organized team activities (OTAs), which Newton must attend or lose $500,000. Seven of those duty days will be in California for the Super Bowl and another four will be in the Golden State for road games against St. Louis Los Angeles and Oakland next season. […]
Newton will pay California 99.6% of his Super Bowl earnings if the Panthers win. Losing means his effective tax rate will be a whopping 198.8%. Oh yeah, he will also pay the IRS 40.5% on his earnings.

1 Kings 17:13-16New International Version (NIV)
13 Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.'"
15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.

Complaints from town officials and the threat of a lawsuit have encouraged Schenectady County legislators to rethink two laws restricting where sex offenders can live.
All 12 legislatures present, including the law's sponsor Ed Kosiur, D-Schenectady, voted to hold two public hearings to discuss the county's local laws at its Tuesday, Aug. 14, meeting.
The public hearings are scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 22, at 7 p.m. The first hearing will address the county's law excluding sex offenders at all levels from living within 2,000 feet of places where children congregate, including public parks, swimming pools, daycares and schools. The legislature is considering amending the law to exclude Level 1 sex offenders and give the local villages, towns and the city more leeway to impose greater restrictions on Level 2 and 3 offenders.
The second hearing will discuss the county's law, which forces convicted sex offenders who currently live within a restricted zone to move by Oct. 1. The legislature introduced a proposal Tuesday to rescind that law.
The laws adopted in June were intended to protect children throughout Schenectady County from convicted sexual predators and to place our community on a level playing field with other counties in the Capital District that have instituted similar restrictions, Chairwoman of the Legislature Susan Savage, D-Niskayuna, said in a statement. "Some concerns were raised from members of the community as a result of the restrictions we instituted. We listened to those concerns and think this proposal addresses many of them while still providing a level of protection to our community."
Communities surrounding Schenectady County have similar restrictions on sex offenders including Rensselear, Saratoga and Albany counties, but all these counties have a grandfather clause for offenders who were living within restricted zones before the laws were enacted.
Town officials in Schenectady County have been speaking against the laws since the Legislature enacted them in June. Town officials fear that sex offenders would move into the rural areas of the county especially in the western areas of Glenville, Rotterdam and Duanesburg.

"Everything else is ephemeral. I would hope that 15 years from now, if someone who's been here were asked, 'You remember a garden with lots of waterfalls on a lake in Alabama?' they would remember. If so, then I've given them a gift of enormous value."

iHerb Customer Reviews
Been using this product off and on for about 6 months as a result of a medical condition that makes my blood clot easily. Problem is that once you have a clot (a thrombosis) you are more likely to get one again. This product is purported to improve vein health, and does seem to work. I am taking pharmaceuticals to thin my blood, so the danger of clots was being managed, but I still had circulation issues, where I had swelling of feet and ankles at days end. Followed the directions on the bottle, and used two bottles worth over about 30 days and the swelling problem resolved. As with most herbals, you will want to cycle on and off this product. I now use a bottle as directed followed by approx 90 days off.
I noticed a difference in my spider veins after using this product for only two weeks. I also noticed an improvement with painful hemmorroids. Will continue using this product!

Don't Slip!
If you are planning on walking between the villages on the Cinque Terre, then take care!!
Some of the paths are pretty narrow, and along the edge of a cliff..... A lot of walkers carry large sticks with them to assist with climbing and helping to stop any slips and falls.
Just ensure you have sensible walking shoes and take it easy - it is not a race...perhaps you should leave the high-heels at home ; )
- Hiking and Walking
- Budget Travel
Be aware
We were advised by a local friend to catch the train to Riomaggiore and then walk the Via d'Amore to Manarola. Then on to Corniglia, and thus to Vernazza and Monterosso.
He suggested we would be doing quite well if we could manage it all in one day.
The Via d'Amore is a stroll in the park. There were families with pushchairs. If it wasn't for the steep flight of stairs at the beginning of the path I would have said it was wheelchair friendly. There was a delightful cafe with a view to die for. This is a doddle, we said to ourselves.
The path from Manarola to Corniglia is a little tougher. Narrower, some dangerous spots which were signposted, steeper.
We saw an anxious mother and father carrying a child in extreme pain, she was howling, on a seat of linked hands back towards Manarola. Her trouser leg was rolled up past her knee and I reckon she had mistepped and done something very nasty to her knee.
Half an hour later, we heard a helicopter take off.
It is easy to mis-step - and I don't think there is any way out except to be carried out.
Unless of course you go over the cliff. Do take care. And have great medical insurance for helicopter evacuation.
Then of course when you get to Corniglia there is the famous flight of stairs up to the town. Or a bus which is delightfully vague. There is a timetable but when we were there the young chap with the flying mane of hair just set off whenever he had a dozen or so gathered together.
None of us knew, but my husband was feeling a medical condition which would be diagnosed soon, and he just flaked and didn't want to go any further.
So we caught the train back to Rapallo where we were staying.
Not all the trains stop at all the stations. The one we caught we had to change at La Spezia - I think it was La Spezia. This can be tricky - but look at at the big white sheets with timetables posted at the station. Check the time of the next train, check it is stopping at the station you want - check which binario it leaves from. Simple, once you know how.
No docking pier for local excursion boat
There is no docking pier in Manarola for the local excursion boat that runs between the Cinque Terre vllages and Portovenere. The picture shows how you get on/off the boat. If the water is rough, the boat does not stop at Manarola because it is not safe to get that close to the rocks and for passengers. The easiest way to handle this is to get off at Riomaggiore and just take the train back or hike the easy trail.
Monterosso to Corniglia is quite tough
The next day we couldn't go but our daughter was really keen to get back.
She is young and fit but she found it quite tough going. The track is steeper, and rougher, and narrower, and she kept getting stuck in a pack of tourists who weren't coping very well.
She couldn't get past them, and they were stumbling and ya hooing all over the place.
Anyway, it is worth it. She thought Vernazza was the most beautiful of the towns.
You have to buy a ticket to walk the cliff side path, it isn't a great deal. A few euros. We bought ours at an office in Riomaggiore. And there were two booths along the way with bored young men checking our tickets.
I believe you can buy a combined train/walking ticket - but we never worked it out. Not having the language.
The only cafe we saw actually on the track was the first one between Riomaggiore and Manarola. Wish we hadn't had lunch before we started. Such a view! Indescribable.
This is not Disneyland!
To walk the trails one has to be very aware that there are no safety rails or places to get medical help. It is not like Disneyland where everything is goof proof. There are STEEP drop offs, varied terrain, and often no one else around. One has to be responsible for one's own health. Some of the trails are pretty rigorous, others are very easy. Take the time to know what the trails are like in the area you want to hike. We saw people from 6 to 80 walking the trails wearing every thing from flip flops to hiking boots and poles. Know your own abilities.
- Hiking and Walking
The path may be closed
It all depends on the weather whether you can hike the whole length of the paths between the 5 towns. We were there after the previous few days had brought some heavy rains and the path between Manarola and Corniglia was closed. Seeing the landslides that were going on, I wasn't going to argue the point.

Path can be narrow
this picture isnt the worst the path can get, I felt safe even though you are a long way above the sea but if it was raining I could see it could be quite slippery and dangerous.

Private health insurance exchanges are gaining currency as a way for employers to cut health care costs, reduce their administrative burden and increase the benefit choices they offer to covered employees. The Private Exchange Evaluation Collaborative ("PEEC" or "The Collaborative") is a new initiative that solicits and provides to employers unbiased, comparative information and support on private exchange strategies and purchasing decisions.
Why PEEC is Important
Multiple studies now indicate that U.S. employers are increasingly looking at private exchange options for both active and retired employees. Brokers, consultants, payers and other intermediaries offer private exchanges, but a mix of vested interests is at play among these service providers.
PEEC is the first independent, objective initiative designed to support employers in developing private exchange strategies and evaluating potential choices among exchange vendors.
2nd Annual Employer Survey Results Now Available!
Key survey findings:
- Employer commitment to providing medical benefits to employees remains very high with 97% of respondents indicating they were very likely to offer coverage in 2016, up from 77% in last year's survey. Employers also report less interest in public exchanges as options for key workforce segments with 67% say they are not considering such an approach for part-time employees and 84% not considering for their full-time active employees.
- Cost, cost, and cost: In considering a private exchange for active employees, 98% of respondents said that the cost of plan options was "somewhat" or "very" important (up 5 points from last year).
- The "level of fees" was only 1 point behind at 97% (up 3 points from last year).
- Saving money and consumer choice were the top two reasons cited by employers who have already implemented an exchange.

An open, floral nose announces the 2008 Barolo Rocche. This is a surprisingly steely, intense Rocche with little of the early appeal this wine usually offers. Instead, readers will find a structured, inward Barolo that should develop handsomely for at least two decades. A hint of feminine, Rocche sensuality emerges on the finish, but readers are best served cellaring this beauty for at least a handful of years. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. I can't say enough good things about the Brovia family and what they have accomplished over the years, but especially over the last decade or so, which has seen them jump into the upper echelon of Barolo producers. The 2008s had just been bottled when I tasted them in November 2011. Now that the wines have been in bottle a little longer, it is clear they are fulfilling all of their early promise. (AG)
Medium red. Classic medicinal Barolo aromas and flavors of black cherry, licorice, sage and wild mint. Then perfumed and elegant in the mouth, with a fine-grained texture and light touch. Really vibrates on the long finish, which features very fine tannins and lovely floral, medicinal lift. This Barolo will give early pleasure and age for many years.

GLENDALE, ARIZ. - Reuben Droughns said the New York
Giants, who are 12-point underdogs against the undefeated New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, will have one major advantage going into Sunday's game.
"We have nothing to lose," said the former Broncos running back, now a backup with the Giants. "That's big. We're going into that game loose and we'll just be able to go play ball. They got all the pressure. We got nothing to lose."
While the Patriots are one victory from becoming the first 19-0 team in NFL history, the Giants (13-6) have flown under the radar despite winning 10 consecutive road games — including playoff victories over Tampa Bay, Dallas and Green Bay.
"We're still on the road," said Droughns, who rushed for 1,240 yards with the Broncos in 2004. "This is another road game for us and we feel great about that."
Droughns was traded from Denver to Cleveland in 2005 for defensive linemen Ebenezer Ekuban and Michael Myers. Droughns still owns a home in Parker and spends a lot of time in the Denver area.
What a ride. Jeff Shoate is getting to know his new teammates and doing it at the Super Bowl.
The former Broncos defensive back was signed to the Giants' practice squad before their second playoff game, Jan. 13 against Dallas.
Shoate was drafted by the Broncos in 2004. He was cut by the Broncos in early December and spent three weeks on Baltimore's practice squad before being released again.
Now he is with the Giants on their remarkable ride.
"It couldn't have worked out better," Shoate said.
Cub reporters. Siblings Rylee (age 12), JoJo (11) and Brock Domann (10) of Colorado Springs were stars in their own right Tuesday at media day. The children have been in Arizona since Sunday covering the Super Bowl for Scholastic Kids. The children, whose father is NFL player agent Craig Domann, interviewed several players Tuesday and were interviewed themselves quite a bit.
"It's been great," Brock said. "I got to talk to Eli Manning."
Footnotes. The flu bug hit the Giants in recent days, but the NFC champions are feeling better, coach Tom Coughlin said. ... The Giants invited Pro Bowl tight end Jeremy Shockey, who is out with a broken leg, to the Super Bowl. He hasn't decided whether he will attend.

Perils of NULL usage:
I know there is a religious war about the use of NULLs and I don't want to go down that path. But about 10 years ago I worked for another one of Bill Gate's companies and I had to prepare a sales report for him from our database. To cut to the chase – I almost sent a report that was missing a large amount of the sales because I forgot about nulls. And I have remembered it ever since.
And that is the point I want to make. When you allow nulls in your database design, you run the risk of developers or report writers forgetting about them and producing and making business decisions on incorrect data. I don't consider this to be an acceptable risk for the most part – as confidence in your data is critical.
And we just don't think about them. For example:
declare @nvar1 nchar(1)
declare @nvar2 nchar(1)
set @nvar1 = 'A'
set @nvar2 = 'B'
select @nvar1 + @nvar2
We know this should return 'AB'
But what does it return if we do this:
set @nvar2 = NULL
The answer is: it depends.
It depends on the CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL setting. If this setting is set ON for the session it will return NULL – as you cannot compare something with a null- which is the ANSI standard. If the setting is OFF it will return 'A', which is the older behavior. Also, please note that the CONCAT_NULL_YIELDS_NULL setting on the connection takes precedence over the database setting.
We need both options – one for the ANSI standard, and one for backward compatibility. But it means that you as a developer must be thinking about nulls all the time.
So let's take a look at 3-valued logic in general.
When we write SQL expressions we are very aware of expected behavior when these expressions evaluate to TRUE or FALSE. However, we tend to forget about the third value – UNKNOWN. This can lead to results that we did not anticipated; they are not incorrect, but we forgot to test for them.
So, here is a little exam just to point out how easy it is to be confused about 3-valued logic (cover the answers before you take the test J)
Complete each box for two expressions that are ANDed. (i.e., if exp1 evaluates to TRUE AND exp2 evaluates to TRUE, the Boolean AND of both is TRUE)
Now complete each box for two expressions that are ORed. (i.e., if exp1 evaluates to true OR exp2 evaluates to TRUE, the Boolean OR of both is TRUE)
These are the correct answers:
If you didn't get it correct, then you need to consider the others in your team that won't get it correct as well. So best practice is to take an approach for null usage in all your code – and then publicize it and ensure compliance.

Did Neolithic Farming Fail? the Case for a Bronze Age Agricultural Revolution in the British Isles
Stevens, Chris J., Fuller, Dorian Q., Antiquity
Gordon Childe classically defined the Neolithic as the transition to agriculture, linking all aspects of Neolithic life from cereals to ceramics into a single cultural package (Childe 1952). For the British Isles, the effect of this 'Neolithic package' on subsistence has been subject to recurrent debate, concerning both the rate of change from hunter-gather to farming, and the nature of Neolithic subsistence, particularly the importance of cereals. The various stances can be broadly divided into two opposing models. The first, the Gradual Indigenous Transition model (Figure 1A, after Thomas 1999), sees a slow change from a hunter-gather to an increasingly agricultural economy, initially associated with the acculturation of farming by hunter-gather groups. In contrast the Rapid Introduced Neolithic (Figure 1B, see Rowley-Conwy 2004, 2011), proposes the swift emergence of a fully agricultural subsistence base around 4000 BC, fuelled by migrating farmers from the continent who quickly displace or acculturate existing hunter-gatherers.
Encapsulated within these models is considerable controversy over the degree of dependence on cereals. In keeping with the Rapid Introduced Neolithic, are those that see the swift emergence of fully-fledged farmers, with cereals and domesticated animals quickly becoming the main dietary staples (e.g. Rowley-Conway 2004, 2011). Compliant with the Gradual Indigenous Transition, are those who emphasise the role of pastoralism, alongside the continued hunting of wild animals and the collection of wild plant foods, with less reliance on cereals (e.g. Entwhistle & Grant 1989; Thomas 1999). Our purpose in this paper is to argue for a punctuated model for the introduction of farming to Britain when viewed over the long term.
Assessing the evidence for plant use
Several lines of evidence can be used to examine these models, but each has its limitations. Pollen studies show a variable mosaic of clearance during the Neolithic, but many parts of the British Isles remain relatively wooded (Richmond 1999). Further, several lines of environmental evidence suggest cyclical phases of clearance and woodland regeneration continuing throughout the Neolithic in many regions (Thomas 1999: 32; Hey & Robinson 2011). Such patterns could be in keeping with small, intensive plots of cultivation inferred for Britain, similar to those of Early Neolithic mainland Europe (Bogaard & Jones 2007).
Other types of evidence for cereal cultivation, including querns and ard marks, suggest less reliance on cereals than that seen in later agricultural periods. For example, granaries, storage pits and, for many regions, field systems are unknown before the Middle Bronze Age (Bradley 2007: 181-93). Other studies indicate that the incidences of dental caries--associated with the consumption of processed cereals--are very low in British Neolithic populations compared with later periods (McKinley 2008). Similarly, isotope evidence indicates that Neolithic diets were higher in animal protein than later periods, where cereals are accepted as the main dietary staple (Richards 2000). All of this points to cereal cultivation and consumption in the Neolithic, but at a scale that differed in extent to the Middle Bronze Age and later periods.
Before the advent of routine flotation, one factor influencing the view of a fully cereal-based Neolithic was the high number of cereal impressions seen within Neolithic pottery (Jones 1980). However, a major shift in perception regarding subsistence can be traced to a seminal paper by Moffett, Robinson & Straker (1989), in which the evidence for carbonised cereals was shown to be slight in the British Neolithic compared with that for wild foods. By the late 1990s systematic sampling for charred remains from Neolithic features, irrespective of the nature of the deposit, was common practice within British archaeology (Robinson 2000: 85). …
