Cops raced to CBS Television City in Hollywood yesterday -- after talk show host Craig Ferguson received a letter in the mail containing some serious threats AND an unknown white powder.
Ferguson says the person who wrote the letter claimed the substance was anthrax -- and both of the CBS staffers who were exposed to the letter were quarantined while officials conducted an investigation.
According to the AP, detectives from the LAPD's Major Crimes Unit were working with federal and European agents to find out who sent the letter.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the substance was determined to be cornmeal.
Ferguson has since tweeted about the situation ... saying, "Ack! Someone mailed my show white powder & claimed it was anthrax. I'm not a big fan of that sort of thing."
Last night, Craig joked about the situation on the "Late Late Show."
European agents!? I think this letter came from Europe!
Why does everyone go crazy of white powder?
OK the baby powder in the envelope thing was so 2002...
"Anthrax", right, we believe you Craig. Just try to keep your quarrels with your crack dealers under the table. Just because you're popular and get your drugs delivered doesn't mean we all have to be privy to what keeps you up "late,late".
I hope everyone realizes that the anthrax making the news just after 9/11 was part of the scam -- as was the underwear bomber and shoe bomber (who departed airports run by the same security company controlling the WTC). Those supposed "bombers" had no intention of exploding the plane (you don't sit there and try to light a match, you would go to the restroom and light it). They were both mossad agents.
Muslims are trying to do in America what they did in Europe to people like Theo Van Gogh: Kill the opposition that dares to speak out against their caliphate
ummm, cornmeal? really TMZ? think you mean CORNSTARCH. otherwise they found coarse yellow grains and labeled it "unknown white powder"
He cracks me up!!
Craig deserves much more respect as a comedian then he does.. He is one of the Funniest comedians out there today.. He gets my vote for handling this like a true comedian and turning this scarey situation into great material for his show the same damm night!! Just sayin.. ;)
Oh my Craig and Oh my Dave
Causing a stir creating a wave,
Humor your game targets your stuff
Your daily routine is getting kind of tough.

Man, I love it when a hot chick get on the "Price is Right"
I love me some craig ferguson! even in a scary situation he makes it funny!! he is my favorite.
3storms: You're buying into the whole terror myth. ALL of the media coverage of terrorism and muslim related terror acts in recent years has been 100% synthetic. The media has been complicit in propagating the myth that 911 was caused by Muslim hijackers, when in fact it was pulled off by the USA with help of the mossad.
Is this just a little "one-up-manship" on Letterman!!!!
ummm, cornmeal? really? think you mean CORNSTARCH

A wind powered router? Sign us up. Sadly that's not what this is. In fact, it's Logitec's (not the US Logitech) LAN-WH450N/GR wireless router. That unsightly windmill like protrusion is a tri antenna design that supposedly helps achieve a throughput of 450Mbs, which is par for the course for an N router. Nonetheless, the wacky antenna design warrants at the very least a look, right? If you're of the wired type, there is also a set of gigabit Ethernet ports.
You can snag one for about $230.

no disrespect at all to any of the TMBeasts, just thinking about how I would feel if I was Ash... and all this is made up, these people in this are nothing like this in real life... at least I don'...
They both decided to keep their fling on the down-low, no one knew about them, not even Amber.
Rose had decided to call Ash back after the first date, and they met numerous times for casual fucks. They became an item, and both wanted it to be on the down-low, not to tell anyone, not even their best friends in the world.
Rose felt as if she could be with Ash forever. She felt safe with him, like she belonged like this, here in his arms, forever.
And the sex was great.
Ash sat there, eyeing up the girls giggling at him. He loved it when girls giggled at him. One perticuarly caight his eye, she wasn't with anyone, by herself, drinking her frappuccino, looking at him, and quickly looking away.
Ash stood up, left his coffee, and made his way to this girls table.
"Hi I'm Ash, but I'm guessing you know who I am?"
"Hello, I'm Amber, I certainly do, the whole fucking country does!" she replied
Ash liked her confidence, she was almost cocky, he liked it. She wasn't another one of the girls who just crumbled at his feet with nerves.
They got talking, and arranged to go on a date together. Tonight will be good, Ash thought to himself.

The Communist Mainstream Media Refuses to Call "Pro Life" Advocates "Pro-life"
Networks Refuse to Correctly Identify Pro-Life Activists
So, it was no surprise later when I saw this at NewsBusters, "'March for … ?' Nets Don't Use 'Life' in Abortion Debate":
Thinking of learning a new language? Try English – broadcast media style. Specifically, try abortion-reporting speak – a tongue as notable for the words it doesn't use as those it does.
This year's annual March for Life, this Friday, Jan. 25th, marks the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. And, though you might think it would be difficult to talk about something called the March for Life without using the word "life," the broadcast networks have shown the utility of abortion-reporting speak. In the past 10 years, 91 percent of ABC, NBC, and CBS anchor reports on the March for Life and Roe v. Wade failed to mention the word, "life."
In 22 reports, "life" was used just twice. The first came from NBC's Kelly O'Donnell. O'Donnell said in a Jan. 22, 2003, "Today" segment when she introduced a "pro-life group." The other came from CBS' Russ Mitchell in a Jan. 22, 2007, "Early Show" report when he described a "march for life" marking the 34th Roe v. Wade anniversary.
The other 20 reports employed a variety of alternate descriptions for the March for Life and pro-life activists. The March and counter-demonstrations were rallies sponsored by both opponents and supporters of Roe v. Wade, according to NBC's Brian Williams on Jan. 24, 2005 and his colleague Ann Curry on Jan. 22, 2007. The marchers were "opponents" (ABC's Jake Tapper, Jan. 23, 2006), and "anti-abortion activists" (NBC's Tom Brokaw, Jan. 22, 2003) rather than "pro-lifers" or "pro-life marchers," as they self-describe.
The linguistic selections are far from unconscious. A recent interview by NBC's Andrea Mitchell illustrated the "life" language prejudice pervading broadcast media. When Republican strategist Juleanna Glover identified herself as "deeply pro-life" in an interview, Mitchell interrupted, "Well, what I would call anti-abortion," and added, "to use the term that I think is more value neutral."
And the bias is institutionalized. Journalists should "Use anti-abortion instead of pro-life andabortion rights instead of pro-abortion or pro-choice," according to The Associated Press (AP) Stylebook's 44th edition. Instead of making the argument about life and death or choice and constraint, AP advocates for the flat, procedural term: abortion.
More here, "Marching for Life in the Face of a Pro-Abortion Media."
And here's the New York Times' report, where pro-life activists are called "abortion opponents." See, "40 Years After Roe v. Wade, Thousands March to Oppose Abortion." And that piece didn't make the front-page, despite hundreds of thousands of people rallying for life.
RELATED: At Twitchy, "Social media fills the role the MSM won't as hundreds of thousands #MarchForLife in DC."

An Insider Is Betting on This Electronic Payments Stock
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
On July 10, a family trust connected to VeriFone Systems (NYSE: PAY) Board member Jeffrey Stiefler purchased 27,900 shares of stock at an average price of $17.89 per share. Insider purchases are often treated as bullish signals, as the insider would be reluctant to buy more shares and increase their company-specific risk unless they had a good deal of confidence in the company (according to economic theories of rational diversification).
Our database of insider filings shows that two other VeriFone insiders were buying the stock during the month of June; studies show that stocks bought by multiple insiders are particularly likely -- though, of course, not certain -- to outperform the market. Read our analysis of studies on consensus insider purchases.
A closer look at the company
VeriFone produces electronic payment systems used by retailers at point of sale (for example, devices that consumers use to swipe their credit card to pay for their purchases). The stock price dived in February after disclosing preliminary first-quarter results far below analyst expectations and issuing disappointing guidance numbers, and is still down 41% year to date.
Revenue for the second quarter of VeriFone's fiscal year (the quarter ending in April) ended up being down 10% versus a year earlier, and even if we add back a litigation loss contingency, the company's operating income was essentially zero. Conditions were a bit better during Q1, but because of interest expenses, VeriFone still turned in only a small pre-tax profit for the first six months of this fiscal year.
Cash flow from operations has been up, but only because of reductions in working capital. Wall Street analysts expect the business to somewhat improve next year, projecting $1.51 in earnings per share for a forward P/E of 12.
In addition to following insider activity, we also track quarterly 13F filings from hundreds of hedge funds and other notable investors. We've found that this information can be useful in developing investment strategies; for example, the most popular small cap stocks among hedge funds generate an average excess return of 18 percentage points per year (learn more about our small cap strategy).
We can see from our database that billionaire Ken Griffin's Citadel Investment Group reported a position of 1.2 million shares as of the end of March (check out Griffin's stock picks).
Comparing VeriFone to its peers
The closest peer for VeriFone is NCR (NYSE: NCR), whose products include point of sale terminals (the company was formerly known as National Cash Register) which are complementary to VeriFone's own payment systems. While NCR's net income has been at a fairly low level on a trailing basis, the company experienced 22% earnings growth in its last quarterly report compared to the first quarter of 2012, supported by 13% revenue growth. The stock trades at 11 times forward earnings estimates as the sell-side expects these improvements to continue next year.
We can also compare VeriFone to eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY), whose PayPal business unit is one of the many players trying to revolutionize mobile payments in a way that some have seen as a threat to VeriFone's business. eBay has also been seeing double-digit growth rates on both top and bottom lines. While the trailing and forward P/Es of 28 and 18, respectively, suggest that the market has already accounted for a good deal of future earnings growth, it might be worth looking into as a potential "growth at a reasonable price" stock.
On a forward earnings basis, VeriFone does look appealing, and of course we have multiple insiders buying the stock. However, we don't feel comfortable in speculating that business conditions will improve this much -- revenue has been down considerably, and the company does not seem to have been cutting costs enough to tread water on the profitability front. As a result, we would at least want to wait for more financials from the company and would likely not be recommending it in value terms even then.

McKinsey Global Institute, the research arm of the business consulting giant, has just published a lengthy study on "unleashing value and productivity through social technologies." The short version is that things like improved communication and collaboration from social media in four major business sectors could add $900 billion to $1.3 trillion in value to the economy.
The value is mostly through added productivity. Improved consumer focus as well as better-functioning teams are two other benefits.

Socially Speaking
Keep in mind that social media is the new PR. You cannot use it as an advertising platform. It is not the place for a sales pitch. You need to use social media to drive customers to your blog or website.
How do you do this?
- Find a 'constant gardener' to become the face of your social media campaign.
- Charm your audience.
- Work it. Remember you need to put in your 10 000 hours before you're an expert at anything.
- Never ask your client to buy your product. Invite. Persuade. Hard sell does not work here.
- Become partners with your client.
- Treat your client as you would treat a friend you respect and admire.
- Identify which social media platforms suit your business. All companies must be present on Facebook and Google+. Facebook because of numbers. Google+ because of search. Find somebody to help you with this.

2014 NFL Draft Report; Nightmare season for USC's Lee might not crush draft status badly (Shutdown Corner)
Source: Yahoo! Sports - Oct 24, 2013 at 4:48 PM
Needless to say, this season hasn't gone to plan for USC All-American receiver Marqise Lee. After putting up insane numbers last season, including this epic game against Arizona , Lee has seen his statistics plummet for a variety of reasons. Injuries , coaching upheaval and inconsistent quarterback play are the chief reasons. But Lee is not above reproach — he dropped a pass in the end zone of a four-point loss at Notre Dame, and later re-aggravated his balky knee in the game. Tough season. Things like this can happen to great players — especially at the receiver position, which is so dependent on the play of others (mostly quarterbacks) to be consistently productive. "Perfect pass, perfect D," Lee said, via the Los Angeles

Finger-Chopping Stroller Frazzles City Moms
If there is anyone who knows Maclaren, it's a New York City mom.
Ronda Kaysen: The high-end umbrella strollers are small, light, compact, and have that awesome strap so you can throw the whole thing over your shoulder, hoist a toddler on your hip, and climb a ridiculous number of stairs to your fifth-floor walk-up apartment, where you can plant that piece of baby-carrying gear in a cluttered corner where no one will notice it.
So, when Maclaren announced this week that they were recalling 1 million strollers -- nine models sold from 1999 to 2009 -- because the strollers could inadvertently lob off a kid's finger, you could hear a collective gasp from every corner of the city.
"When I first heard, I thought, holy cow, everybody has a Maclaren, what a nightmare for them if they have to replace them all," Alison Branco, a Brooklyn mom, told momlogic.
Maclaren announced on Tuesday that after 12 children suffered finger amputations when they got their fingers caught in the hinge of the umbrella stroller, they would recall the strollers. Customers can order a replacement part on Maclaren's website. But, until the safety kit arrives in the mail, parents are left with the choice of continuing to use a stroller that could potentially maim their young or doing without.
If moms in other cities tucked their Maclarens away until the part arrives in the mail, New York moms are clenching their teeth, tossing their kids in the strollers and hoping for the best. After all, in this city of 8 million, few moms have cars, so driving to the park or school is rarely an option, and nearly everyone uses the subway, the bus, or walks far distances with kids in tow. A week without a handy, foldable stroller isn't really an option.
"I'm humongously pregnant, so there's no way I could deal with my almost 3-year-old in Brooklyn without it right now," Branco, who is 33 weeks pregnant, said.
On Thursday morning, Amy Wilson of Manhattan had to take her three kids to school on the bus. Her Maclaren was her only option. "I didn't think twice about it," she said, talking to momlogic from her Upper West Side apartment. "It's the only one where I can carry my kid and carry my stroller."
When she was walking up the street, pushing her recalled stroller with her 2-year-old daughter in it, she noticed several double takes from Maclaren-less mothers. But, given the circumstances, she didn't see another option. "I felt like it was a scarlet letter," she said.
Wilson, who wrote the nationally touring one-woman show "Motherload," has been very vocal about her outrage at Maclaren. "Nothing about a stroller should cut off a part of your kid's body," she said.
She's devoted several blog posts to the subject, lambasting the company for waiting until a dozen children were disfigured before they bothered to mention the problem. The New York Post reported on Thursday that the company knew for at least five years that their strollers chopped off baby fingers.
Not all New York moms are rattled by the recall, however. "Are people really freaking out about this? I mean, it's for 10 years' worth of strollers -- and, well ... really?" said Brooklyn mom Liz Lauricella. "I just ordered my part and got on with it. Been using my Mac just as much as before."
|Ronda Kaysen is a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, BusinessWeek.com, Architectural Record, Huffington Post, New York Observer and AM New York. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.
The design of these double strollers from Maclaren allows the seats to recline including into the position where should your child want to sleep they can. Plus the design of these seats is one that they recline separately rather than together so if one child remains a wake they won't disturb the other one as they sleep.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
I don't know what urged me to revisit my Tumblr! It's been two years since I've posted anything. So much has happened and I'm kind of sad I haven't documented any of it. I used to look at Tumblr as a memory and dream catcher and instantaneously was reminded of this as I scrolled through posts and pages. 2014 will be different and I hope to write more.
Since it's New Year, I shall recite some.of my resolutions!
- Graduate from college
- Practice a (mostly) gluten free diet
- Cook more, eat out less
- Run regularly, rock climb
- Save more money
- Get promoted
And that's all for now!

U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin heads toward the 2012 election without a longtime political ally.
West Virginians for Life has denounced the freshman Democrat after he helped defeat an attempt to deny federal funds for Planned Parenthood.
The state's leading anti-abortion group issued a statement and ran at least one newspaper ad saying Manchin has betrayed West Virginians who oppose abortion rights.
The 1976 Hyde Amendment restricts taxpayer spending on abortion. Anti-abortion groups target Planned Parenthood because it provides abortion services through other revenues.
A lifelong abortion foe, Manchin said that the federal grants at issue fund vital health services for women. But at least for now, his vote has incurred the wrath of a group that has supported him throughout his political career.
In response to the group's action, Manchin released a statement Monday.
In a release, he says he introduced the Title X Transparency and Verification Act, legislation that would verify safeguards that prevent federal funds from being used for abortions by increasing public scrutiny for family planning funding and bringing needed transparency to agencies' use of the funds.
Under the legislation, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services would post independent audits online for any agencies that receive money under Title X.
Currently, no federal funds can be used for abortions, and independent audits verifying compliance with the law are already required. However, the audits are not readily available to members of the public.
"As a lifelong abortion opponent, I want to ensure that all West Virginians and all Americans can easily access and independently verify information that not one single federal taxpayer dollar is used to fund abortions in this country," says Manchin. "I believe there needs to be a strict firewall around the vital services that Title X funds provide, such as cancer screenings and family planning, so that those federal funds are never, ever used for a single abortion, except in the cases of rape, incest and life of the mother. We must do everything in our power to strengthen and protect that barrier."

The country's hottest book is also hard to find.
"Game Change," an insider account of the 2008 presidential election written by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, was released Tuesday and is No. 1 on both Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.com. But the book is out of stock until at least Friday, and the e-edition will not come out until Feb. 23, HarperCollins spokeswoman Leslie Cohen said Tuesday.
With increasing frequency, publishers have been withholding the release of the digital version of new books, citing concerns that sales would be hurt for the hardcover, which is more expensive. On Amazon.com, several readers identifying themselves as Kindle users complained about the policy.
Cohen said HarperCollins was not commenting on the e-release.
The hardcover was available Tuesday on Walmart.com.

Dolphins Bound for Combat as Ukraine Navy Announces Plans to Train Them in Underwater Warfare with Knives or Guns Strapped to Them
Dolphins are being trained for military action by the Ukraine navy in a return to Soviet-style underwater warfare, it was learned Oct. 11. The marine mammals will be taught to attack enemy combat swimmers using special knives or pistols fixed to their heads, said a source in Sevastopol, a large port on the Black Sea. They are also able to locate items of military interest and mark them by attaching buoys, or plant explosives in enemy territory.

The answer is easy: He's trying to prevent his death. When the dragons as we know them, and the Aspects, were created, they were some of the biggest baddies in the world, except they aren't evil, they're guardians. Most of them have no clue what a dragon's lifespan would be, let alone an Aspect's lifespan which can be potentially forever. Thus far, Malygos is the only one who has died, and most of his brood was wiped out, and he was driven insane. So they are "mortal", they can be driven insane, they can fear things, and yes, they can die.
Since Nozdormu was given power over time itself, one of the things done by the titans, or rather, a titan, I forget who, was show him his death, and the circumstances surrounding it, and tell him that it was inescapable, nothing could prevent his death from happening then and there. Apparently, this event leading to his death is approaching, since he's been working as leader of two dragon broods, attempting to alter the timeline to prevent his death.
I still say it's going to be wildly ironic if the death he was shown was 25 of us killing him.

We got a package of green cleaning supplies from Pure and Gentle Soap, when we had a water softening system installed. I don't think I can buy soap from the store anymore, there are so many chemicals! I use the glycerin soap the most, it only takes a little to get the job done!

Official Temporary Hiatus
You may have noticed that since I returned from Italy this spring, the blog has been vewy, vewy quiet. I'd had a relatively slow winter and spring work wise, which allowed me the luxury of regular little forays into town and sufficient time to write about my adventures afterwards. But work really picked up right after we got back from our trip, and I haven't had the time or energy to go on too many little exploratory jaunts, let alone compose photo essays or witty anecdotes describing same. Sometimes you just have to live life, not blog about it.
As such, I am putting this blog as well as my Life in Points of Light blog on an "official temporary hiatus." I mean to keep all existing posts archived here on Tumblr, and may occasionally add an "On the Go" shot or comment, or even feature a noteworthy event or experience, but I am no longer going to impose regular weekly blogging on myself. If things slow down again I may pick up the pace, but until then, you'll hear from me when you hear from me.

Microsoft scores win with Santa Claus tracking
Microsoft scores win with Santa Claus tracking
Microsoft announced this week it had sealed a partnership with the Pentagon's North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), which monitors the skies over Canada and the United States, for the holiday season.
"For more than 50 years, NORAD has helped children around the world track Santa during his Christmas journey, and this year Microsoft is partnering with NORAD to make following the big red sleigh easier than ever," Microsoft said in a blog.
"The Santa Tracker tool is built on the Microsoft Windows Azure cloud computing platform and Bing Maps, and anxious kids can even track Kris Kringle on Windows Phone and Windows 8 apps."
The news marked a coup for Microsoft, whose Bing search engine is struggling to catch the Google juggernaut. Google had been the NORAD tracking partner since 2007.
"It's a pretty big win for Microsoft and should give its products greater exposure, though I'm kind of sad that NORAD Tracks Santa is now developing into a service that corporations are clearly fighting over to sponsor," said Danny Sullivan of Search Engine Land, a blog which follows the firms.
"But I love the service, and if it helps support it, cool."
NORAD's Santa tracking tradition dates back to 1955, when a Colorado newspaper advertisement printed a phone number to connect children with the jolly man in the red suit, but that mistakenly directed them to NORAD's hotline.
To avoid disappointing the little ones, NORAD's director of operations at the time, Colonel Harry Shoup, ordered his staff to check the radar to see where Santa might be and update the children on his location.
Google is not completely shut out for Christmas, however. It has an Android app on its Google Play store which allows mobile users to follow Santa.

Stark says money isn't an issue
Maybe Greg Maddux isn't going to wind up back with the Dodgers after all. The Dodgers and Padres have always been uncomfortable making deals with each other. And with 90 minutes left until the deadline, they've been unable to reach agreement on a trade that would send Maddux back to L.A., the only team he has told the Padres to which he would approve a deal.
One source familiar with the two clubs' discussions say the $3.3 million remaining on Maddux's salary this year is not a major issue. But the Dodgers have been unwilling to make anything beyond a modest offer, obviously because they're clearly aware they're the only taker.
Been looking all over the internet as I hear the hot rumor is the Dodgers are trying to get in the Manny sweepstakes - man I hope this isn't true!
Heyman: Marlins, Dodgers still in Manny hunt as deadline nears - MLB - SI.com
MLB.com trade blog says Bay to LA may have be a done deal.
After all the talks about Bay heading to Tampa Bay or Boston, it appears that the Dodgers may have landed the Pirates left fielder just prior to the 4 p.m. ET deadline.
MLB.com has confirmed that they were a late player in the race for Bay and that it was L.A. One industry source in Pittsburgh believes that a deal between the two clubs has been made.
Stay here for more details.

Less than 1% of people will complete a marathon.
Those people have morphed their bodies into long distance running fiends, and by the time they run their marathon, they are expected to be in the best shape of their lives.
Natalie Yates-Bolton, 46, is one of that less than 1%. Not only will she be completing her fifth marathon in just about a month, but she has also beaten cancer four times.
According to Oldham News, Natalie has battled (and beaten) lymphoma since she was 23, along with breast cancer. But, along with countless rounds of chemotherapy, radiation and operations, Natalie never stopped pursuing her love – endurance racing.
"While I was having chemo I couldn't really run too far so my friends would plan a 14-mile route which was bike friendly and I would ride alongside them," Natalie told the Oldham News.
This year, she is celebrating her 47th birthday, by running the Amsterdam Marathon.
Natalie's desire to never give up has inspired many people, including one of her close friends, Adele Fraser. She told the Oldham News that Natalie's fire to get better and continue training, helped her "carry on with life," and make the best out of whatever curveball life throws.
Natalie on the other hand, tells Oldham News that she continues to live in the moment, and make the most out of her life.
"It's made me turn my lifetime into one I've really wanted to live and I've completed a check list of things I've always wanted to do. It's made me value the ordinary times in life and never to take anything for granted."
This mantra is one that everyone should follow. Make your life one that you want to live. Everyone has to work, but don't make it define who you are. Don't take the small things for granted. Enjoy every step of your run, every deadlift, every squat, every cup of coffee and every morning. Make sure those routines aren't taken for granted, but that you appreciate that you are able to compete every day.
As for Natalie, she's got big plans:
"When I cross the finishing line at the Amsterdam Marathon I will be well and truly ready to celebrate my 47th birthday and living the rest of my life."

The NFL scouting combine kicks off in just 11 days. The talk may be about Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III, but there are 300+ other athletes who have hopes and dreams resting on their performance in Indianapolis.
"I'm a little anxious, but I'm more excited than anything though," Northwestern tight end Drake Dunsmore said after he ran through Loren Landow's mock combine Thursday in south Denver.
Landow thinks that Dunsmore could be a sleeper this year. He capped off his senior year with 45 receptions for 522 yards and 6 touchdowns, but more importantly, he's a tremendous all-around athlete. At 6'3″, 235 lbs., he runs great routes, has solid hands, and he's a good blocker.
As for the best advice that Dunsmore has received regarding making the transition from college to the pros, he's keeping that in.
"I'll tell you if I get there, when I get there," Dunsmore said.
Along with Dunsmore, 29 other athletes made it a point to work with Landow as they prepare for the combine and pro days.
Oklahoma State wide receiver Josh Cooper arrived in Denver just last week.
"I needed to get a little work in, get away from Stillwater, avoid all the distractions," Cooper said. "I've only been here for a few days, but I'm getting my work in. That's the first time I got to do those drills up here. Still got a lot of work, but I'm getting better each day."
Cooper had 71 receptions for 715 yards and 3 touchdowns in his senior year which helped lead the Cowboys to the Fiesta Bowl. There they beat Stanford 41-38 in overtime.
As big a game as that was, Cooper knows that the pressure will keep piling on, but he's got his nerves in check.
"There's some nerves there, but it happens in everything you do," Cooper said. "Nerves, if you play through it, it makes you perform better I think."
These athletes have to be on top of their game on the field and behind closed doors.
At Landow's mock combine, CBS4 sportscaster Vic Lombardi sat down with a few players to ask them made up Wonderlic questions. Identify all from the Kardashian clan, or which came first, the chicken or the egg?
"Any question you get asked, you've got to know the correct answer to," Cooper said. "Just be yourself and quick witted."
Quick witted and quick footed will propel any player up the draft board, or at least get their name up there in the first place.

Tucson, Ariz. (TucsonNewsNow) Crews from Northwest Fire rescued three kids from the Rillito River.
It happened Saturday evening near La Canada and River Road.
Northwest Fire says they responded to several calls of three kids caught in a flash flood.
When they arrived they found them stuck on the sand bar and they were unable to get out.
Responders say the water was quickly rising, but the kids did the right thing by staying together.
The rescue team was able to bring all three back to the bank of the river without injury.

"Thomas Edison would be rolling over in his grave," Chuck Musante said.
Musante idolizes Edison. So, Jan. 1 will be bittersweet for the electrical engineer. That's when manufacturers of the traditional 40- and 60-watt incandescent light bulbs stop making them.
"Now, this awesome invention that took us out of oil lamps and dangerous kerosene lamps is now going the way of the dinosaur I suppose," Musante said.
The federal government banned incandescents because they're so inefficient. This is actually phase two of the light bulb law. The feds flipped the switch on the production of 100- and 75-watt incandescent bulbs at the beginning of this year. And now it's lights out for all of them.
"You get both reactions: People who believe in why they are being phased out and people who don't want the government involved in how they light their homes," said Peter Casselman of Bibens Ace Hardware.
Bibens Ace Hardware in Burlington saw a slight bump in bulb buying before the new year-- before incandescents fade into distant memory.
"The 60-watt has typically been the standard light bulb," Casselman noted.
"It's a big new era in lighting," said Lara Bonn of Efficiency Vermont.
Efficiency Vermont, a green energy nonprofit, supports the bulb ban, pointing to improvements in more efficient alternatives like compact fluorescent bulbs or LEDs.
"They are changing and getting better and better quickly," Bonn said. "CFLs have trace amounts of mercury, the same as a can of tuna. But the LEDs don't have any."
The new bulbs will cost you more up front, but incentives you already pay for through your electric bill have reduced retail prices significantly. And experts say you'll save money in the long run. Lighting makes up 20 percent of your electric bill.
"So, if you have a lot of incandescents, you are spending a lot on your electric bill and I would say there are lots of options," Bonn said.
Reporter Darren Perron: How much can somebody save?
Lara Bonn: Yeah, so for a typical CFL it's about $26 for the life of the bulb. And LEDs are more efficient, so more than that. That's one bulb. A typical home has 40 sockets. That's quite a bit of savings.
"It's too bad," Musante said. "But I understand."
Even Musante made the switch the already. He just might keep an old incandescent as a souvenir of a bygone era.
"Put it in a box and put it on the mantle, right? But I get it. It's the right thing to do. Energy is valuable and we shouldn't waste it," he said.
Retailers can still sell whatever incandescents they have in stock.
The rules were signed into law by President Bush in 2007.
