Our first shipment of Virtue Vio goggles should be landing here on Monday!
JT Spectra Proflex Goggles Available in Limited Edition Colors
JT has recently released a new color of their popular Spectra Proflex line. The Desert Tan and Black paintball face mask is a perfect match for lots of different camo patterns. If you're not already familiar with the Proflex line then you should be. They use the Flex7 Goggle Frame and Mask but instead of having hard plastic ear pieces they have a smaller and softer earpiece. So YES, there is less protection here. But you can hear better with these goggles because there's less bulky goggle blocking the way to your ears. You also get a tactical advantage that balls are less likely to break on these soft ears. More bounces mean you get to stay in the game longer. The smaller foam ear pieces also make the goggle a bit lighter. The Flex7 and ProFlex include the soft rubber mouth guard too. You'll definitely feel the paint hit you on the cheeks and mouth but you get lots of bounces off this area. So if you like to get up in the fight and need that extra advantage while looking good at the same time then you need to take a look at the se new limited edition colors. They also come in Olive and Lime Green.

Can't believe this bill pay is such a mess. Account was taken from Bank of America approximately 4 months ago. Tried to set up bill pay so bills would be automatically paid monthly but this still isn't happening. Setup Bill Pay the money is taken out then replaced and 3 days after the bill is due get an email from the company we thought was paid saying the account is overdue. Check my bill pay account and see that the bill was never paid???? This is happening every month call First Tennessee to ask what the problem is and they can't give me an answer but set it up for the next month. Same thing happening. Plan to change banks by the end of February. This bank is still in the stone age. If I could give them no stars that is my true rating.

ANAHEIM -- The good news is that the A's have started the second half of the season exactly the way they started the first half.
The bad news is that in both cases they opened 0-2 by scoring one run in two games. The A's were shut out for 81/3 innings by Los Angeles Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson on Saturday night in a 2-0 loss after losing 4-1 on Friday.
The first half of the season saw Oakland open with 2-0 and 7-1 losses to Seattle. By the time the All-Star break came around, however, the A's had 56 wins and a two-game lead in the American League West.
"That's the thing about baseball," first baseman Brandon Moss said. "We started out like this (in April), and things turned out all right."
Oakland's offense was sliding toward the end of the first half, however, and the start of the second half suggests the slide still has some legs in it. In the last eight games, the A's have scored just 13 runs, including being shut out twice.
"The season is always going to be filled with ups and downs," Moss said. "Two games aren't indicative of the way the rest of the season is going to go. We've got to fight through this. It was a little like this before the break."
One difference is that in having the offense go cold in the final six games of the first half is that the A's won three of those games, scoring just enough to get by because the pitching was outstanding. Saturday's pitcher, Dan Straily, threw seven innings and gave up two runs, which should be good enough to win most games.
"I needed to throw more zeros," Straily said, abjectly refusing to blame the offense. "I needed to go out and throw better pitches. You know the offense is going to be there. We've got a lot of hitters here."
The A's lineups in the first two games against the Angels didn't include Yoenis Cespedes, and he's not likely to start in Sunday's series finale, either. If Cespedes' sore left wrist was anywhere close to being ready, he would likely have batted in the eighth inning for Grant Green.
The rookie second baseman was up after Wilson had walked two of the first three men he'd seen in the inning. Green is still looking for his first major league hit. Cespedes has 38 homers in a little more than a season and a half in the big leagues, but he remained on the bench as Green flied out.
"Probably the only way he was going to play was as a pinch-runner," Bob Melvin said.
The manager said before the game that the medical crew would have to clear Cespedes to hit, and "that hasn't happened yet."
The A's were simply no match for Wilson, who came into the game on a roll, going 5-1 with a 2.04 ERA since June 14. Jed Lowrie doubled in the first and singled in the ninth, the latter hit ending Wilson's night.
But the only other hit off Wilson was a leadoff single by Nate Freiman in the second.
From that point on, Wilson retired 18 consecutive batters before Derek Norris and Moss walked as the first and third batters of the eighth inning.
"Obviously we aren't swinging well," Moss said. "But I hate not to give credit to the pitcher when he deserves it, and Wilson pitched a great game. It was like he was throwing three different breaking pitches -- a cutter, a slider and a curve, and he was mixing them in different counts."
When the A's have prevailed against Wilson in the past, it's been because their patience has been rewarded when he gets behind hitters. The A's were perfectly willing to wait for that moment to come Saturday, but it never did.
Sunday's Game
A's (Bartolo Colon 12-3) at L.A. Angels (Jerome Williams 5-5), 12:35 p.m., CSNCA

OAKLAND -- In the wake of the department's first on-duty officer death, BART police are now requiring written approval from a top-ranking official before detectives can search a residence, officials announced Monday.
The policy change comes in the aftermath of the Jan. 21 shooting death of Sgt. Tom Smith Jr., who was killed in a friendly-fire incident during a probation search in a Dublin apartment.
BART police Chief Kenton Rainey for the first time named Officer Michael Maes as the shooter. At the Monday afternoon news conference, Rainey also outlined the new policy and defended the tactics used in planning the search.
Before the search -- for evidence related to robberies on BART property -- the team of detectives, headed by 42-year-old Smith, consulted with the deputy chief for patrol operations, and a manager was present during the search, Rainey said. BART's police detective unit conducted 18 probation searches similar to last week's incident during 2013, Rainey said. Now, written approval will be required for all such searches, a move one expert said makes sense.
"Whenever we have an incident where things go wrong, one of the things we look at in addition to training is planning and how these searches are planned," said former San Francisco police Chief Anthony Ribera, who is now the director of the International Institute of Law Enforcement Leadership at the University of San Francisco. "On the face of it, it doesn't look like a bad policy to me. If there's not a tremendous sense of urgency, (it makes sense to add) a layer of control or involvement by the ranking officers."
Rainey pointedly refused to say Monday whether officers' video lapel cameras were turned on during the search. The chief had previously stated that two uniformed BART officers on the scene had the lapel cameras and the video had been turned over to the Sheriff's Office. The chief had said he didn't know if the cameras contained data but that the video would be used in the internal investigation, as well as separate probes by the Sheriff's Office and the Alameda County District Attorney's Office.
"I believe in transparency," said Rainey, who said expects a full report on the shooting to be released in about three weeks. "We are not going to hide from the truth."
Rainey also would not address media reports, citing anonymous sources, indicating that Smith was shot by a startled Maes when Smith exited a different door from the one he entered during the search. The apartment's bathroom has dual entrances, according to its floor plan.
Maes is a 26-year police veteran who spent the past 14 years with BART and the previous 12 years with Moraga Police Department, Rainey said. A former BART field training officer and acting sergeant, Maes has a background in criminal investigations and has received extra training in conducting searches and executing arrest warrants, Rainey said.
Maes was also friends with Smith, and plans on attending the funeral on Wednesday, Rainey said.
Smith died Jan. 21 when a single shot passed through a small gap in the bulletproof vest he was wearing and struck him in the chest, said Sgt. J.D. Nelson, spokesman for the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, which is handling the investigation.
Smith was the first officer killed in the line of duty in the BART Police Department's 42-year history. He left behind his wife, Kellie -- also a BART officer he met on the job -- and their 6-year-old daughter. His funeral has been scheduled for 10 a.m. on Wednesday at Neighborhood Church of Castro Valley, 20600 John Drive.

About the Book
Aldwyn, a street-smart alley cat, pretended he had telekinetic powers so young wizard Jack would chose him as a familiar. Aldwyn then learned that he and two other familiars—Skylar the blue jay and Gilbert the tree frog—were destined to undertake a perilous quest to defeat Paksahara, an evil hare who'd been familiar to the queen.
In Circle of Heroes, the third book of The Familiars series for middle-grade readers, Paksahara and her undead animal army control the Shifting Fortress. Aldwyn and his friends have to recapture it to return magic to the queendom of Vastia.
Fans of The Guardians of Ga'hoole series and Erin Hunter's Warriors books will love the mix of humor, magic, and animal adventure story in Circle of Heroes by Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson.
Can the familiars bring magic back to the queendom?
Vastia is in a state of war. Led by the evil Paksahara, whose command of the Shifting Fortress gives her nearly unstoppable power, an army of undead animals is wreaking havoc on the queendom. With human magic still gone, it's up to the three prophesized familiars—Aldwyn, Skylar, and Gilbert—to capture the fortress and bring Paksahara down.
But it won't be easy. The three familiars must embark on a quest to gather seven descendants of the most ancient and powerful animals in Vastia. And to make matters worse, Aldwyn finds a troubling scroll that causes him to doubt the very truth of the prophecy that guides them.
With inventive magic, epic action, and laugh-out-loud humor bursting from every page, circle of heroes is an extraordinary adventure you won't want to see end.

It was a cold night in November. Really cold. But what was about to go on inside the Jesse Auditorium in Columbia, MO was enough to make anyone forget about the wintertime weather outside. For some reason, this was a tough ticket and I think mostly this was due to the intimacy of the venue itself. Or maybe the previous show in Madison, which was one of the few times I have seen the band leave the stage after the encore, only to be forced back out by the crowd for a true second encore of "Fire".
Whatever it was, this Columbia `94 show is one of my favorites from that era. After a week of having Rev. Mosier onboard, this was the first show back with just plain Phish. A "Buried Alive" opener right out of the gates set the tone for the evening immediately. Short, sweet, and fierce. And that may sum up most of the first set. It was short and sweet - but it definitely had some fiery moments. A "Foam", "Guyute", and a "Disease" all in the first set was quite nice. This set ended on a soft note with "Sweet Adeline", but that only meant one thing: look out for the second set.
And look out was right. This "Funky Bitch" set opener still, to this day, is one of the most explosive, cohesive, and out there jams I have ever witnessed (A great filler choice by Mike on his recent Live Phish picks). Granted, there was plenty of this type of explosiveness during the Fall of 1994, but this version of "Funky Bitch" was outrageous.
I'm pretty sure everyone downstairs and up on the balcony was busy picking their jaws up off the floor during the breath-catching "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav". The "Cry Baby Cry" was a tremendous treat, especially for all of the Midwesterners who didn't make it out to Glenn Falls on Halloween. Then a "Curtain" and another Beatles tune, "Blackbird". Need I say more? This set was played with such inspiration and you could see it beaming from the stage. A rare "Runway `Jeff'" was followed by a strobe-light-enhanced, Trey-running-around-like-a-maniac, CK5 mind-melting "Furry Creatures".
At this point, I think everyone inside was ready for another breather and a few of the tunes they learned with Rev. Mosier were played again to bring things back down. Things were going so smoothly at this point that they decided to take an audience request, and "Harry Hood" was the tune selected. This is a gorgeous version and again, the inspirational playing continued. To be honest, they could have left the stage right after "Hood", but they decided to give us a rocking version of "Highway to Hell", complete with an evil red lighting scheme by Kuroda. A very appropriate way to end this fiery set. A beautiful "Lizards" was played as the encore and when the house lights came on the room was just full of smiles.
A funny side note about this show, the student group that put concerts on at the university had no idea who Phish was and they all took off early for Thanksgiving. After the place had cleared out a bit Brad got on the megaphone asking for volunteers to help break down the stage and load the semis. We sprinted from our balcony spot and ran outside behind the stage to volunteer. We were the last two people that signed up for this gig, and what fun it was. Got to thank Mike and Trey for such an incredible evening of music and spent the next few hours freezing while rolling gear up into the semi. I'll never forget being handed a bank deposit type bag, with a piece of tape on it that read, "Page's Piano Bolts" as we were asked to take apart the grand piano. That was a trip. And for our help they gave everyone the old white logo T-shirt and a ticket to any upcoming show. Brad, whatever happened to those bus tubes you were talking about?

Several years ago, Ashley Guetter Rood's (RVHS Class of 2002) yoga teacher at the Alexandria YMCA left. Since Rood, who now lives in Glenwood, was interested in health issues, she was asked if she'd like to become certified for yoga herself. Rood, a registered nurse at the Alexandria Clinic currently working for her Nurse Practitioner certification, was intrigued. "Yoga is relaxation and strength poses," she defined it as. "It can be quite a workout, and can be modified for each person. Yoga can be for anybody, and the classes I teach at the Y range from 12 to 20 people." Later this summer, Rood will bike from Duluth to St. Paul as part fo the MS150, a fundraiser for multiple sclerosis. To take part in the MS 150, Rood has to raise at least $300 on her own. As part of that effort, she will be in Redwood Falls this Saturday, May 10, teaching a one-day yoga class at Functional Fitness. The class, which starts at 10 a.m. is free, but donations will be accepted, with all funds going direction to the MS Society. Following the one-hour yoga class a light brunch will be served, along with door prized donated by local businesses. "As a nurse I have had the opportunity to work with multiple patients with MS, and have been inspired by their strength and determination. I feel that raising money to ride in the MS150 is such a great and worthwhile cause!" Rood said this week.

SAN JOSE -- The NHL isn't taking any action against Sharks defenseman Brad Stuart for his jarring hit on Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog in the first period of Saturday's 4-0 San Jose victory.
"I haven't heard anything from anybody and I assume that's the way it will remain," Stuart said Sunday morning after the team held meetings in advance of its game against the Vancouver Canucks. "At the time I thought it was a good hit. Saw it a couple times last night and I still thought that."
Stuart's hit at 15:35 of the first period was the turning point of San Jose's 4-0 victory Saturday afternoon. And while the Sharks were confident it was a clean hit, Colorado coach Joe Sacco complained that it targeted the head, all but inviting the NHL to review the play.
No penalty was called at the time, and when Colorado defenseman Ryan O'Byrne went after Stuart, the Sharks ended up with a four-minute power play, during which Patrick Marleau scored twice.
Stuart said it was good to be able to have a positive impact on a game early in his second go-round with the Sharks.
"To do something like that at home was nice," he said. "The team responded well, the power play has been clicking for us so that was huge."

The management of bronchiectasis is long-term and is directed at:
Your healthcare provider will evaluate your history and recommend the best management plan for you.
Improved clearance of mucus is the cornerstone of the management of bronchiectasis and includes several components. They include:
Your healthcare provider may recommend one or more of them depending on your individual needs.
Inhaled Bronchodilators - An inhaled bronchodilator medication opens the airways by relaxing the smooth muscles around the airways. This type of medication is available in a number of inhaled forms. Commonly used inhaled short-acting bronchodilators include:
Inhaled long-acting bronchodilators may also be used. They include:
Inhaled Steroids - Inhaled steroids reduce and prevent swelling inside the airways. Common inhaled steroids include:
Inhaled Steroid and Long-Acting Bronchodilator Combinations
Common combinations of inhaled steroid and long-acting bronchodilator include:
Inhaled hypertonic saline may be used to loosen airway mucus for easier clearance.
Airway clearance measures are treatments designed to clear trapped mucus from the airways.
Oscillating positive expiratory pressure devices (OPEPD): These include devices such as the Aerobika®, Acapella® or the Flutter Valve® that help clear mucus from your lungs. These are small devices you inhale and/or exhale into.
High-frequency chest wall oscillation vests: These include The Vest® and the SmartVest® and are inflatable vests that you put on. The vest shakes your chest to help dislodge the mucus from the airway walls. Sometimes the Aerobika® or Acapella® is used after the inflatable vest. Once the mucus is dislodged, the device can help clear the mucus.
Postural drainage and clapping use gravity to promote drainage of mucus from the lungs.
Antibiotics are used to treat bacteria and other infectious organisms causing infection in the lungs in order to improve respiratory symptoms and prevent further damage to the airways. Antibiotics may be taken for a short or long period of time, depending on the infection. For example, treatment of Pseudomonas auruginosa may entail 2-3 weeks of intravenous antibiotics when symptoms are severe. Sometimes inhaled antibiotics are given to prevent exacerbations of Pseudomonas. Treatment of mycobacteria may require multiple antibiotics taken for a year or longer. Rotating or chronic oral antibiotics to prevent infection usually are not encouraged, because this promotes the development of drug-resistant organisms. However, long-term aithromycin or erythromycin may sometimes be beneficial to people who experience frequent bronchiectasis flareups.
Treatment of any identified specific causes, including those listed under "Causes of Bronchiectasis" is important. Examples include:
Pulmonary rehabilitation may improve your overall health. A well-rounded rehabilitation program includes education, exercise and eating well and can help you stay healthy and feel good.
Resective surgery is occasionally indicated - usually only if bronchiectasis is very localized in the lung and medical treatment and other therapies are not effective.

MOUNDSVILLE -When visitors open the door to an unassuming building on a quiet street in Moundsville, they enter into an alternative universe, populated by an amazing array of toys from playtimes past and accented by a nostalgic re-creation of a small-town soda shop.
This other-worldly realm is known as the Marx Toy Museum, 915 Second St., Moundsville. Eighty percent of the toys featured in the museum were manufactured at the Louis Marx and Co. factory that operated a short distance north of Glen Dale. The rest of the playthings on exhibit were produced at other Marx plants.
The museum is the brainchild and continuing passion of its founder, Francis Turner, a Moundsville resident and an ultra-serious collector of all things Marx. The facility was privately owned by Turner for 10 years before "it became a nonprofit organization of the community" two years ago, said his son, Jason Turner, a Moundsville pharmacist who serves as president of the museum's board of directors. A five-member board guides the museum which was certified as a nonprofit organization on July 1, 2011, Jason Turner said.

Standing in front of the Dodge City room in the Marx Toy Museum in Moundsville, museum founder and curator Francis Turner holds the Marx Toy Dodge City playset that he used as an inspiration for the room facade.
In another father-son connection, Louis Marx Jr., son of the company founder, serves on the museum's advisory board. Marx learned of the toy museum from his childhood friend and business partner, Dan Lufkin, who also became one of the museum's advisers.
Louis Marx Jr. has visited the museum twice, Jason Turner said. Francis Turner and board member Dennis Hanley of Moundsville meet with Marx and Lufkin once a year.
Old-time toys attract interest for a variety of reasons. With the advent of television shows such as "American Pickers" and "Pawn Stars," Francis Turner said, "Everybody's talking about collecting things and toys."
In fact, he said, representatives of "American Pickers" contacted him for information. "I sent some pictures that were actually shown on the show," he said.
Of course, as Jason Turner pointed out, "The museum has a lot of local interest because the plant was here and because of national interest." Marx was "the largest manufacturer of toys in the world in the 1950s and '60s," he said. "In the 1950s, one in three toys across the country were Marx toys."
The local facility is "the only museum dedicated to Marx Toys and Louis Marx and Co.," Francis Turner said.
"We focus on the history of the company, the toys, the man, Louis Marx Sr., and the people who produced the toys," Jason Turner related. "We have their stories. We share a lot of their stories."
With the younger Marx's involvement in the museum, "we have this connection to Louis Marx and can tell stories of Louis Marx," the board president added.
Discussing the Moundsville site's distinctive elements, Jason Turner said, "A lot of children's museums have toys, but it's more like toys and science. This is more of an adult museum than a children's play museum."
Francis Turner, who still owns the collection, serves as curator of the museum. Hanley remarked, "He (Francis) is passionate about wanting to keep this open. He and Jason built all the (display) cabinets.
"The collection's on loan from him (Francis Turner)," Hanley said. "It's an unbelievable labor of love that he's done here."
That soda shop setting, which Francis Turner calls the "Happy Days" room, functions as the museum's gift shop.
The museum, open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday from April through December, employs three tour guides. "They are outstanding. They know the whole history and individual toys," Hanley said.
When individuals or tour groups arrive at the museum, they are shown a 10-minute film that introduces the history of the toy manufacturer. Visitors then enter the various rooms where toys are displayed thematically in a series of cases.
Models of the iconic Big Wheel riding toy can be seen. In its heydey, the Glen Dale plant produced 7,000 to 8,000 Big Wheels a day, Francis Turner said.
Several dollhouses, made mainly of metal with plastic furnishings and figures, are on exhibit. Marx made more than 400 different dollhouses, the curator said.
Visitors are impressed when they see that 125 Marx playsets are on display. "Nobody has that many playsets," Francis Turner said. A kitchen set - with child-size refrigerator, stove and sink -was "one of the best girls' toys they made," he added.
The curator explained that Marx made three kinds of playsets: ones that depicted scenes from history, recreated television shows or represented everyday living. The original hand carvings for "The Untouchables" playset is on display.
"Any time a good TV show came on, Marx would make a playset," Francis Turner observed.
The Turners built a western-style facade - modeled after a Marx playset - as the entrance to a room devoted to TV western-related toys based on figures such as Roy Rogers, Wyatt Earp and Davy Crockett and shows such as "Gunsmoke," "The Lone Ranger," "The Rifleman" and "Wagon Train."
Of special interest is the prototype room featuring items that were designed but never produced as part of the product line. "Pretty much everything (in the display) is one of a kind," the curator said.
Several Marx toys bore the number "303," on a license plate or as a house number, etc., but the reason remained a mystery for years. However, Francis Turner learned the answer when he met the son of longtime Marx designer Floyd Chamberlain. The son explained that their family home was located at 303 10th St. in Glen Dale. The name, Glen Dale, also appears on a number of toys to identify a make-believe entity.
Two display cases are devoted to items from the 1920s and 1930s. "A lot of these are wind-ups," Francis Turner said, adding that a Marx plant in Erie, Pa., made push toys.
Rare items on display in the museum include a Tiffany and Co. cigar ashtray that Chase Bank gave to Louis Marx Sr. in May 1971 as a 50-year customer and a tiny toy figure of Marx. "He made eight figures of himself. I've been able to find three of them in 20 years," Francis Turner said.
Louis Marx and Co. began in 1919, producing climbing monkeys and wind-up dancing toys. Marx built a reputation as a designer of popular toys with built-in quality.
Marx also was known for his "pioneering use of media licensing in his toys," Francis Turner said, pointing to early toys based on Disney, "Merry Makers" and comic strip characters. By the 1950s, many of the toys were licensed products based on popular television shows of the era.
During World War II, munitions were manufactured in toy plants and experiments began on the use of plastic material. In the post-war era, plastic enabled Marx to make a much wider range of toys, the curator said. The museum's collection includes a 1940s taxi cab that was Marx's first plastic toy.
In the 1950s, Louis Marx Sr. was known as "the toy king." Popular products from the 1960s and 1970s included Rock'em, Sock'em Robots, Big Wheels and Johnny West figures. A tall monster called Big Lou "is hard to find not broken. This one has never been opened," Francis Turner related.
Of interest to local residents and country music fans is a display of favorite Marx toys that belonged to singer Brad Paisley, a Glen Dale native. The exhibit includes a photograph of Paisley, as a child, riding his Big Wheel in the parking lot of John Marshall High School.
In July 1972, Louis Marx and Co. was sold to Quaker Oats, which later sold the business to a British company. After consolidation attempts and plant closings, the company went bankrupt. Ironically, Louis Marx Sr. died on the same day that attempts to reopen the Glen Dale factory failed.
Encouraging visitors to return to the museum, Francis Turner concluded, "It's just too much to take in at one time."

Just realized we didn't list on our site yet what kind of barrels the Tippmann FT12 uses. You might assume that since the FT-12 has Tippmann 98 internals that it would also use Tippmann 98 Barrels and that is indeed correct. The Tippmann FT-12 uses standard Tippmann 98 threaded barrels.

SANTA CLARA -- Tight end Vernon Davis' pursuit of a new contract dates to well before his absence from the 49ers' voluntary workouts.
Davis said he approached the 49ers last season about restructuring his contract, which expires after the 2015 season.
"They said they would get back to us, and we're just waiting," Davis said Thursday on ESPN's NFL Live.
Davis previously missed organized team activities before coach Jim Harbaugh's arrival in 2011.
"It's not mandatory, and that's what I have to keep reminding people," Davis said.
The 49ers' only mandatory offseason training is a June 17-19 minicamp, and Davis told ESPN he "strongly believes" he'll attend.
Davis also commented on New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham's grievance with the NFL over whether he deserves a wide receiver franchise-tag salary.
"He is one of those guys that is a part of that tight end position that are changing the game -- Antonio Gates, Jimmy Graham, (Rob) Gronkowski," Davis said. "Those guys are some fantastic players. If it was me, if I was the owner of the team, I would give the kid everything he wants because he's that."
Asked whether tight ends should be paid more like receivers, Davis said: "If you're a guy who's catching a lot of passes and you possess some of the traits that wide receivers have, then yes, I agree. I think that he should get paid like a wide receiver."
When asked if he should be paid like a wideout, Davis said, "I can't speak for myself. I'll let everybody else do that."
Davis was in New York on Wednesday and at ESPN's Connecticut headquarters Thursday to promote his stock-partnership with San Francisco-based Fantex, which bought 10 percent of his future earnings for $4 million.
"If you look at a lot of athletes, we all need to build our brand," Davis said Wednesday on SI Now. "That's where Fantex comes into play. They're there to grasp and take our brand to the next level."
Davis has forfeited a $200,000 workout bonus by missing the OTAs that began last week. He is slated to make $4.7 million and $4.3 million in base salaries over the final two years of his contract.
"I've always wanted to retire as a 49er. I've expressed that to them," said Davis, who turned 30 in January. "For some reason, we can't get that done."
The 49ers got a six-year contract extension done Wednesday with quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who Davis said "deserved" the deal that could be worth up to $126 million.
Davis isn't the only 49ers player seeking a contract extension. Guard Alex Boone also has been a no-show at OTAs in search of extending his deal past 2015. Wideout Michael Crabtree, guard Mike Iupati, running back Frank Gore and defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey have contracts expiring after 2014.

IowaDG.com has become the best source for up to date Iowa disc golf information. I would not develop it further...Mike and Brad are doing fine. However, I do promote the site just as Tanner does.
All of us understand this position is all about communication. I plan to hold "office hours" as I do have a fulltime job and family, so I will check IowaDG.com Monday mornings and Thursday nights. That way players know when I will be available to answer questions.
In the spirit of communication I plan to create an Iowa PDGA TD email distribution list and a Pro Iowa Tour list. Also, create a dedicated website for Iowa TDs...a place to post official documents, planning materials, evaluation forms etc. However, it will not contain another forum...IowaDG is THE place.

I know very little about Intellectual Property law... Ok so I don't know anything about IP at all so let's stop hassling me about my ignorance.
The new site for IP firm Acapo is a beautiful mix of subtle animations and transitions with a clean and considered design that almost makes me want to learn about IP. Designed and built by Anti - an agency based in Norway - you may as well spend some time on their site checking out some of the other great work they've done.

Maria Conchita Alonso bowed out of "The Vagina Monologues" after her support for a Tea Party candidate sparked outrage.
The Latina actress was set to star in a Spanish-language version of Eve Ensler's ever-popular play in San Francisco next month. But in light of recent protests, and threats of a boycott, she backed out.
"Monologos de la Vagina" is set to run Feb. 14-16 at The Brava Theater Center in the Mission district.
Alonso, who has starred in movies such as "Moscow on the Hudson" and "The Running Man," was in the line of fire after backing California Gubernatorial candidate Tim Donnelly in a bilingual Internet campaign video. Donnelly is the founder of a Minuteman border patrol chapter.
"They were saying they were going to burn down the theater, they were going to boycott the show," the 56-year-old Venezuelan-born actress told Fox News.
Certainly Alonso is no stranger to political debates. She once got in a tussle with Sean Penn at LAX over his support for Socialist Hugo Chavez.
In this video, the outspoken actress appeared with her beloved pet Chihuahua Tequila and translates some of Donnelly's campaign slogans into Spanish.

Mighty Travels
Two tea lovers make their way around Europe with their Mighty Leaf
Breakfasts in Kor?ula with a view June 15, 2007
Kor?ula is an island which is a short swim or a much more convenient short ferry ride from the mainland of Croatia. Visited by thousands of tourists each year, it's amazing how it's remained a quiet place with a small old city to wander by day and restaurants by the harbor to have the freshest fish from at night.
For us, it was really the mornings that were the best though, especially if you manage to find a small apartment to rent like we did, which has its kitchen window open up to a view of the walled old city and the small harbor.
This view is priceless in the morning when the sun crests over the top of the grey mountains of the Peljesac Peninsula that sits behind the city, in mainland Croatia. It's at this moment, with the summer day starting to heat up that you want to be sitting somewhere with a breeze, where you can see the old town, with a cup of tea and your breakfast. You might end up spending two or three hours slowly eating breakfast, but hey, that's what a vacation on a Croatian island is for.
Just make sure to be completely stocked up on the wonderful fruits that are grown in Croatia (all organic), such as juicy peaches (breskva in Croatian) or apricots (marelica). Add some bread from a local maker and jam from the abundant Kor?ula figs (smokva) and you have the perfect summer breakfast.
The strength of a good breakfast tea is countered very well with the sweetness of these items and they're very, very tasty as well. If you're really lucky, find a bit of home made honey (med) from a local store to add to the breakfast tea if you like a sweeter black tea or just want to enjoy a fragrant cup first thing in the morning, to match the fruits and the view.
Where: Kor?ula Grad, Kor?ula Island, Croatia
Food: Seasonal fruits such as apricots and peaches with toast
and locally-made fig jam and/or honey
Tea: Organic Breakfast

Wednesday's letters: Education budget
Published: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at 6:42 p.m.
To the editor: In 1984, George Orwell wrote that Newspeak would be in use by 2050. The July 23 Times-News shows that its arriving early.
The top headline read, Budget emphasizes education. The article, however, states, the $11.5 billion portion of the state budget set aside for public schools, community colleges and the University of North Carolina system cuts education spending by nearly $260 million this year and another $222 million next year.
This is how the Republican legislature emphasizes education? To paraphrase a well-known saying, With friends like them, we dont need enemies!
Steve Smith
East Flat Rock
Pick it up!
To the editor: As local residents, we enjoy our almost daily walks in downtown Hendersonville. We are fortunate to live in such a beautiful city.
Ive noticed an ever-increasing problem on our downtown sidewalks people walking their dogs and leaving their deposits in the middle of the sidewalks.
We are owners of a beautiful pup and understand its going to happen anywhere. I dont understand why you leave your dogs business on the sidewalk and walk away.
As we frequent our favorite breakfast restaurant on Main Street, it is unappetizing to look out and watch the flies on the dogs droppings. Lets all keep Hendersonville beautiful and pick it up!
Joe Piper
Downtown parking
To the editor: Thank you to Nancy Tanker and Emily Weaver for their informative articles about the actual availability of parking in downtown Hendersonville.
This will come as no surprise to our regular customers and out-of-town visitors, but I am so glad the Times-News did a thorough investigation and discovered what the businesses already know: There is ample free parking and abundant cheap parking (25 cents per half-hour).
In addition, I am not the only merchant who would carry your purchases to your vehicle if you are parked any distance from my shop or would bring the parcels curbside and wait for you to pull up. That is just what we do because we are grateful you shop with us.
So come downtown, stroll, shop and dine. We have a parking space for you!

George Willis, UPS Vice President of Operations, was at a charity golf tournament in California in 2011 when he met Jessie and Erik Rees.
"Jessie was a beautiful little 11-year-old girl who had more heart than a tiger, and more energy than anyone should have with what she was going through," remembers Willis.
At the time, Jessie was in the middle of a ten month battle with two brain tumors. To spread hope, joy and love to other kids who were fighting cancer, Jessie began filling jars with her own toys and games. These jars became known as JoyJars®. Her dad shipped them to other sick kids and each JoyJar cost the Rees family about $20.
