Little Debbie maker wants Drake's cakes
Hostess takes McKee Foods' $27.5 million bid as the snack cake favorite finds new life.
McKee Foods has put in a $27.5 million bid for Drake's brands, including Devil Dogs, Funny Bones and Yodels. This is officially the most anyone not named Newman has put on the line for a Drake's cake in the brand's more than 120-year existence.
That's a lot of cash to spend on a product with limited Northeast appeal -- Drake's biggest pop culture moment came during its cameo in a "Seinfeld" episode back in 1992 -- but McKee is banking on Drake's and its consumer base of coffee-cake loving grandparents and Shop-Rite and QuikChek-shopping working stiffs to boost its $1.1 billion annual take. Little Debbie already accounts for $800 million of that with Hostess knockoffs like its Twinkie-style Cloud Cakes and thinly veiled Devil Dog knockoffs known as Devil Cremes.
None of those brands will go away, as Drake's sphere of snacking influence is about as large as 101.1 WCBS-FM's broadcast radius, but McKee plans to crank up production of Drake's products at its plant in Stuarts Draft, Va., immediately to get Ring Dings and Yankee Doodles back on Northeast shelves immediately. McKee took a pass on Drake's old bakery and equipment in Wayne, N.J., but production there may not be completely lost.
McKee Foods' bid opens up an auction process that lets competitors make better offers. A judge must approve the final sale, which Hostess said will happen by May 30. It's tough to blame Hostess for its haste, as it is relying largely on nostalgia to sell off the brands that remained in the wake of its company shutdown in November. Hostess admitted as much in a court filing Monday, noting that there was no advertising or marketing for Drake's brands.
"The longer Drake's products stay off the shelves, the more likely it is that consumers will begin to use competitors' products," the filing said.
Hostess' union workers insisted before the shutdown that the company's hands-off approach to marketing brands like Drake's got it into a mess in the first place. After multiple bankruptcies, management shakeups, labor disputes and now this shutdown, Hostess is now slicing up its brands and selling them to whoever will take them.
It recently named Tastykake-maker Flowers Foods (FLO) its lead bidder for six of its bread brands, including Wonder Bread and Home Pride, after it put $390 million on the table. United States Bakery, meanwhile, agreed to pay nearly $29 million for Hostess' remaining bread brands.
News reports Tuesday afternoon said Hostess has chosen two private equity firms, Apollo Global Management and C. Dean Metropoulos & Co., to be the lead bidder for Twinkies and other brands. That paves the way for a court-authorized auction, which may take place within weeks, The New York Times reported.
Hostess is giving potential buyers plenty to chew on in the interim. Getting Drake's cakes back in New York cabbies' and commuters' hands is a strong start.

I get a lot of questions about having body hair, especially in public. It's one thing in the winter, I'm told, when we can hide our legs under pants and our pits under sleeves. It's different now, when you want to wear tank-tops and short dresses! So here is my response and my advice to those questioning whether to shave/wax this summer: Do what makes you happy, and comfortable. Do what makes you feel beautiful. Love your body and embrace the choices you make with it. Whether that means shaving all the hair of your body or throwing out all your razors, as long as you're happy with your body that is truly what's important.
Body Hair in public
Despite all our feminist ideologies, it can be a bit frightening to face off – your body against the world. I've been there, and I'm here to tell you not to be afraid. First it's important to recognize why you feel weird/embarrassed…

The Hemispheric Dialogues Research Cluster is a collaborative, cross-disciplinary research initiative that brought together six Latina scholars from the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Education and Public Policy with a common interest in research that interrogates social justice in the Americas. They have created an intellectual and social community to support their individual research projects and to share theories, methods and practical strategies for archival and field research in Latin American and Latin@ topics. They meet regularly in research incubation sessions, reading each other's work, offering each other feedback through intensive and lively discussions and coming to know each other not only as scholars but also as whole and integrated people.
During the year 2010-2011, the research cluster focused its energies on one collaborative project carried out in two stages: a symposium in the fall, and the preparation of a publication during the spring. Multidisciplinary and hemispheric in scope, the aim of the publication is to build upon emerging studies and publications critically addressing definitions and redefinitions of the fields of Latin American and Latina/o Studies. Individual essays reflect on the theories and methods that have shaped specific disciplines (Anthropology, Art History, Education, English, Spanish Literature, and Women Studies) and their bearings into interrogations of social justice in the Americas. The overall book seeks a bidirectional engagement: it builds from personal experiences to explore larger methodological frameworks, while examining the relevance of theoretical and critical tools in our own research and pedagogical practices.
Members of the Research Cluster :
Pascha Bueno-Hansen is an Assistant Professor in Women's Studies, with joint affiliations in Political Science and Latin American Studies. She received her Ph.D from the University of California, Santa Cruz in Politics, Latin American and Latino Studies and Feminist Studies.

She has published articles in the International Feminist Journal of Politics and the Journal of Peacebuilding and Development and various book chapters on related issues including gender, sexuality, race, violence against women, transitional justice, social movements and conflict analysis. Besides her faculty position at UD, she is an affiliated faculty member of the Masters in Community Psychology at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Peru. Dr. Bueno-Hansen places her interdisciplinary teaching and research at the service of social justice.
Mónica Domínguez Torres is Associate Professor and Associate Chair of the Department of Art History at the University of Delaware, and holds a joint appointment in Latin American and Iberian Studies.

Gladys Ilarregui is Associate Professor of Colonial and Latin American Studies at the Department of Foreign Languages. Her book, published by the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, Las Mujeres de la Conquista: Antes y Después de Cortés, addresses pre-Hispanic female lives and post-contact formations with Iberian women in the sixteenth century. Her articles on Colonial Latin America range from Nahuatl poetry to Indigenous textiles, from forbidden books to literatures written in convents. Her work always addresses the problematic space of the new imaginary constructions that women in particular, and indigenous women in general had to negotiate within the voices of past and present Latin American literatures. She is currently researching the pre-Hispanic manuscripts Von Humboldt recovered and are part of the Staatsbibliothek Zu Berlin, and the corpus of Che Guevara's writings. Ilarregui has participated in two Folger Institute seminars and in The School of Criticism and Theory (SCT) at Cornell University.

In particular, her work pays special attention to the anthropology of Latin@ education. Drawing on sociocultural frameworks of education, her teaching and research endeavors aim to address issues of educational (in)equity and seek to promote socially just educational practices and policies. In 2008, Dr. Rolón Dow was awarded a Postdoctoral Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowship, allowing her the opportunity to conduct research about the experiences of U.S. Latinos studying in Puerto Rico. Dr. Rolón Dow is currently working on a book entitled "Diaspora Studies in Education: Towards a Framework for Understanding the Experiences of Transnational Communities."

- Great Pulled Pork SandwichDFIDinerVIPDined on 9/24/2014Was worried about mixed reviews. Went for a bite on a week night. No crowds, no hassles. If you are looking for a happening scene during the week, go somewhere else. If you want a good pulled pork sandwich at a reasonable price with good service, go here. Fries were good, though they are stingy with the cole slaw
- Perfect work dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/23/2014I can imagine this place to be pretty busy on the weekends, but was very quiet on a Tuesday evening. It was perfect for a work dinner, so we could talk and conduct business while enjoying the wonderful food and even better drinks. A great beer and whiskey bar I'd recommend to anyone.Special Features:
- Average experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/23/2014I was expecting a little bit more from Porkchop. We had the hush puppies and macaroni and cheese for appetizers. The macaroni and cheese was bland overall and disappointing. The main courses were much better as we enjoyed the fried porkchop. The sauces were very good. Drinks were ok, service was spotty.
- Just didn't do it for meAndyDined on 8/17/2014I assumed, given the locale of the restaurant and the fact that they were opening up new locations across the city that this place would be top notch. Everything was OK and that's it. We were one of only 3 or 4 groups dining there on Sunday at noon. Nearby establishments had lines out the door. Not terrible but I would not recommend to a friend.
- My first timeOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/31/2014The waitress was really nice. I tired the pull pork sandwich. The sweet potatoe fries were great!!!! Different types of drink special we're a great new experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Just OkayOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/31/2014We were excited about eating here because everything on the menu sounded so good. The service and setting were great, but unfortunately, the flavors didn't live up to our expectations. The elotes and hushpuppies were okay but nothing exceptional. The fried chicken was good, but the potatoes and green beans that it came with weren't great. The pulled pork had much more bread than pork, but the flavor of the pork was good. The food in general could have used a bit more seasoning. The drinks were just okay. The descriptions had us hopeful, but you couldn't taste any of the ingredients in the drink. Overall, the food wasn't bad enough to send back, but we wouldn't dine here again.
- Standard BBQ Placechif00dsceneDined on 7/25/2014This is a standard bbq place. Would be great somewhere like Lincoln Park, but in the middle of the meat packing district and being surrounded by foodie havens, it was a bit disappointing by comparison. You just expect a great dining experience being on Randolph these days and this was pretty average.Special Features:
- Best Damn SandwichTheWindyCityVIPDined on 7/13/2014The Mouthful. Get it and you will not be disappointed. If you don't like it, it's on me.Special Features:
- Loved the foodmrsbaldwinDined on 7/6/2014Chelsea was our waitress she was wonderful and funny. The food was delicious. Can't wait to go again!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mediocre food made worsechicagonewbiesVIPDined on 6/26/2014made worse by poor service. When we asked for details of items on the menu, the server did not know and did not bother to check.
- Mediocre BarbequeDomer84VIPDined on 6/14/2014We started off on the wrong foot by dining at Porkchop during the Taste of Randolph. The restaurant was not running as smoothly as I suspect it does during normal operations. It took over twenty minutes to get the first round of drinks, and second round took almost as long. The food was very long in coming, and the quality poor. The barbeque chicken was overcooked and dry. The wedge salad-- at at cost of $10!-- was not as billed, with six scant pieces of bacon on the brownish lettuce and two or three crumbles of bleu cheese. The waiter was overworked and inattentive. I would not even make the effort to give this place a second chance. It does not deserve to sit on Chicago's "restaurant row."Special Features:
- Delicious food and dirty bathroomsWestlooperDined on 6/13/2014It was a really busy Friday night, they were dealing with multiple large groups. We were seated quickly, our sever didn't acknowledge us for five minutes. We got splinters from the table. We placed our drink and food order all at once, it took over ten minutes to receive our drinks. The food arrived right after, it was so amazing! Our server never checked on our meals or offered us another beverage. We had to ask for silverware which took a few minutes to get, it was still wet from being washed. The bathrooms were overflowing with trash and obvious accidents. It was disgusting, hopefully the employees have their own bathroom. Maybe that's why she didn't offer us a second drink. Food was the most delicious BBQ in this part of the city.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mediocre FoodMediocreDined on 6/7/2014The food was mediocre because it was bland. The portion size was large for the price. The chicken fried porkchop is huge and thick, but didn't taste like anything. The best thing there is the cornbread. It's sweet and yummy.
- The following 240 reviews are from the Porkchop reviews archive.

- An excellent find.OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/9/2014We were very satisfied with our experience here at Porkchop. I decided to take my boyfriend here for his birthday and he was very pleased. The service was quick and friendly. We were a little late for our reservation but had no trouble being seated right away. The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. We will be back for seconds!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A good lunch outing!KimmyDined on 5/2/2014I came to Porkchop with 2 coworkers for lunch. The food was very good, sausage lollipop are Great, ribs very tender and worth returning for. The mac & cheese needs work and the fish tacos were tasty! Overall the food was great but the service is a bit slow! They need to step it up a bit especially during lunch time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dive in Wrong NeoghborhoodCheers1114Dined on 4/27/2014The cooks are lazy as not everything is prepared when order. For example the French fries were barely warm, also I ordered the fried green tomato BLT. Sounds good right? Well, the green tomatoes were not fried when order as they were also barely warm. The bacon was cooked to order which made the sandwich reasonable for consumption. The wait staff, Chelsea, was mediocre at best. We asked to switch tables when being seated and she said sure but she left us to grab the menus to bring to the next table. I ordered sweet potato fries with my sandwich; when the food comes I had regular fries and sweet potato. She didn't bother to point out the sandwich came with fries.
- friday niteBIGSSiderVIPDined on 4/25/2014good menu small portions good time been there before but it missing somethingI would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedsvaughnDined on 4/24/2014I recommended Porkchop to a visiting friend who loves whiskey. All of my previous times were stellar, so I was very disappointed in the service this time around. There was only one waitress on duty, but no hostess and no bartender. Luckily, it was practically empty but she still took forever to brings us our drinks and take our order. We saw her looking up how to make our cocktails, and when she finally did figure it out, she brought two of the same beverage. Neither was the one I ordered. She apologized for the slip-ups, saying she'd been "thrown to the wolves" but my question is why was she even in that position in the first place? I never saw a manager or anyone who looked like upper level staff. As I said, very disappointing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Porkchop -- great choiceGumboDined on 4/2/2014My son chose this restaurant. I thought it was a place for just BBQ however they had a variety of different food choices and beer choices too! great casual dining place !Special Features:

- Amazing BBQ!KateDined on 3/24/2014The food is amazing! Everything was really good and the service was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We were pleased overall withJoyHDined on 3/16/2014We were pleased overall with food and decor. They have high chairs but no kids menu. We had to "self-serve" our own small plates after apps arrived, I asked waitress for small plates when they should have automatically brought them to the table prior to food arriving. We waited on waitress so long that our pulled pork tacos became cold. This was my mother's 71st birthday and she had to get our plates so we could eat. They kept trying to give me my son's food when i asked the server to bring it with the meal. Serivce not good at all but I would go back to try other items on the menu and be prepare for subpar/bad service...If service was MUCH BETTER, it would have been a great experience...please train wait staffSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- All About the Ambiancevw88Dined on 3/15/2014It is hard to have a bad time when some of your all time favorite songs are playing, the beer list holds several of your favorite obscure beers, and the server is quick and friendly! The food was absolutely excellent as well. Two in our group had the hamburgers, one had the mouthful pulled pork sandwich, and I had the smoked chicken with house sauce which was magnificent! I was picking at the bones at the very end! We had the maple bacon doughnuts as well - but while they were wonderful they were a bit rich for our taste. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodBluesBassManDined on 3/15/2014Food was well prepared, fresh and hot. Wait staff was courteous and friendly. Tight space but I didn't feel closed in. Would recommend Pork Chop to anyone who may be seeking a change from the typical BBQ restaurants located in the city. Prices were great for the amount of food I gotSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Eggo BurgerjamoranVIPDined on 3/15/2014When I ordered a Hippie - the veggie burger - I did not expect a frozen Morningstar patty, available at Jewel for about 89 cents. To me it's like going out for breakfast and getting served an Eggo waffle. My corner dive bar serves a homemade veggie burger. For shame.
- Deep Fried Ribs- where else?KixsombutVIPDined on 3/7/2014Ribs were tender, with a smokey flavorful dry rub. It has just enough kick, to keep you going back for more. Also the deep fried ribs appetizer was super yummy, served with horse radish potatoes and bacon that makes me want to order a second round.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DissapointedLizMDined on 3/7/2014The food was cold, they were out of every beer on tap I inquired about. Also, the hostess stuck us at a communal table with a large group of 14 that turned into 18 at the end of the night. We were very snug and uncomfortable.
- pork chop was a pleasant surprise.OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 2/27/2014pork chop was a pleasant surprise. we had a variety of items and everything was good. loved the dessert portion size. this is worth going back again and again!Special Features:
- Not Impressedcw1984Dined on 2/21/2014The decor is nice, somewhat trendy and cozy. I was sitting off to the side of the restaurant where there were three 2-person tables towards the back. My chair was pushed in, but there is clearly not enough room for people to get around since the area is to small, the waitress (rather rudely) kept telling me to scoot in, but there was nowhere for me to go! The food was decent, I had the pulled pork tacos. I found the meat to be really bland with no taste, needed salt, and the taco shell completely disintegrated and I had to eat them with a fork. The best thing about the restaurant was the atmosphere and the beer list, but that's not enough for me to go back. The service was pretty rude and the food didn't compensate, better luck elsewhere.Special Features:
- Great BBQDavidDDined on 2/21/2014Second time dining. We had an early reservation and had a tight dining window to catch a Bulls game. Our waitress got our orders in quickly and was patient in guiding us through drinks. Porkchop offer several different bourbon flights and our server was knowledgeable about all of them. One person in our party has several food allergies and gave the server a card listing them. She took it back to the kitchen and was able to tell our friend what to avoid. The ribs still had some chew and weren't over boiled. The sauces were each distinctive, the main ingredient (vinegar or chipotle) wasn't overpowering. Save room for the warm maple bacon donuts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- porkchopOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/15/2014This was a great find for us! We're from Michigan and wanted to find a nice restaurant. Everything was amazing! You are fed well!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Midnight Find in ChicagoQDaneenDined on 2/15/2014On my recent trip to Chicago, we wanted a place for late night dinner and drinks. After searching OpenTable for a open restaurant and table, we took a cab to the restaurant and enjoyed dinner and drinks. It was rather quiet for a Valentine's Friday night but our server was great and the food was great eventhough we had arrived just before the kitchen closed. It was easy to get to by cab and easy to catch a cab back to our hotel. I would highly recommend this place to friends and visit next I return to Chicago.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fresh doughnut covered in bacon bitPlanetBobDined on 2/10/2014Enough said. It was awesome as was the rest of the food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wouldn't return...ChicagoFoodieDined on 2/6/2014The first issue with this place is the parking. They don't have valet during lunch hours which means we spent approximately 20 minutes driving around looking for a place to park. The food we had was incredibly mediocre. The chowder was bland, the pulled pork sandwich didn't taste very "barbeque-y", it had a sweetness to it that I just wasn't really liking. The bread pudding dessert was a bit rubbery. The service was decent, the ambiance was nice, but if I'm going back to a restaurant it's the food that needs to be on point, and this food was just...so-so.
- Food was greatpeanutmandmDined on 1/25/2014Food was excellent, but they seemed short staffed. We ordered two beers, took over 10 minutes to get them despite being next to the bar and maybe two people sitting at the bar? I don't blame our server, it seems as though she was spread thin and management was at fault. Appetizer and soup/salad come to the table at the same time, seemed a little cluttered and timing was off.
- Not the greatest brunch spotAnonymousDined on 1/19/2014Came with a group of 4 on a Sunday around noon. We'd heard good things about Porkchop, and we had high hopes for their brunch. When we got there, most of the tables were open, and the TVs were blaring the Hawks game. The food ranged from okay to not so great - very oily roasted potatoes, weirdly-deconstructed chilaquiles, and general blandness. They were also out of a couple of menu items and several draft beers. Overall, disappointing; can't say I'd go back for brunch. Their atmosphere seems better suited to dinner or just drinks.Special Features:
- Good foodcincigirlDined on 1/18/2014We had a large group and the restaurant accomodated separate checks. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal. Several of us ordered the chicken and waffles...delicious! My father and father-inlaw raved about the chicken fried chop. The prices were very reasonable as well. The only negative was that the place is not very big so everytime the door opened you felt the cold air. I ate with my coat on.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Southern flavor in the West LoopOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 1/17/2014Porkchop is a hidden gem in the West Loop. It is on the restaurant rich Randolph Street, but stands alone in bringing a little southern flavor to the mix. Other than Wishbone, with it's Louisiana-- inspired menu, which is also good, I think that Porkchop brings out the other flavors and favorites of the south in it's BBQ, catfish and cornbread offerings. Also be sure to have the mushrooms and sauted spinach. Both are delicious and a nice side to the traditional fare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Saturday Night FunJBDoubyaVIPDined on 1/11/2014Great relaxing place to sip bourbon with friends and enjoy some good BBQ. Never thought bacon would be good with glazed donuts, but they proved me wrong.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

MISSION — A home invasion victim was arrested last week for allegedly hiding a kilogram of cocaine, said local authorities.
Video surveillance from the home invasion showing five men breaking into the home two weeks ago also revealed Marvin Douglas, 32, handing his wife a brick of something white, said Mission Police spokesperson Cpl. Manuel Casas. The wife left the house with the item and returned before they called the cops.
Douglas was arraigned Wednesday and charged with a felony drug possession for the kilogram of cocaine. His bond was set at $550,000.
After the home invasion, Casas said it was important to get the men who broke into the home first because the men were armed. These were people that we don't want out on the streets, he said.
Earlier this week, Casas said when events like this happen it is most likely bad guy on bad guy. Very rarely does a good guy get hit like this. Now they know there was more going on, he added.
The five men participating in the home invasion have been arrested. Two of the men have been arraigned on aggravated robbery charges. One man was also arraigned for possession of a controlled substance – cocaine and marijuana.

About TJ21
I began my professional career at the age of twenty.
I learned the sign and graphic industry in St. Joseph, Michigan before starting my own small sign business in Berrien Springs. My dedication to clients back then meant staying up late at night for a $50 project. I was labeled the guy that would go to any extent to serve his client. Fast forward nearly 20 years and the passion and drive is even stronger. Today, I serve only you, the customer. People that know me best will say its not uncommon to hear of my son Johnathon and I working late into the night...Read More

Website Development
In today's economic environment, the essential foundation to any great on-line marketing campaign begins with a high-functioning website. A website is as important a business asset today as having a sales staff. It is where conversions happen and how revenue is generated. This isn't the place to take shortcuts and trust that inexperienced friends or family members can set one up for you on the side--or over a few weekends. Think of your website as your first face that people see when they walk in the door of your company. Because that's exactly what your website is! It is quite possibly the first thing people will see when inquiring about your company.
Designing and developing a website takes a skilled, creative team with the expertise to translate your vision into a transformational, interactive consumer platform. At TJ21 Media Group, we work together to create sites with aesthetic appeal and SEO-friendly code structure. SEO practices applied to websites feed search engines that will drive qualified traffic to your website and ensure that you hit the ground running at launch. Couple that with the creative pieces such as voice over, video, widgets, etc, and you have one of the most dynamic websites in your industry.
If you're interested in talking with us more about how we can help you with your web project, please contact us today.

Video Filming, Editing and Production
TJ21 Media Group offers the best in high definition video production, commercial and webmercial creation, corporate and training videos, weddings, sports videos, educational and medical video production, and more.
There's no better way to sell your product than through a compelling video that visually stimulates, excites the senses, demonstrates your product and effectively turns viewers into customers better than your best sales person could. We utilize effective video marketing techniques to promote your video effectively on the internet. According to Forrester Research, 60 seconds of video is the equivalent of 1.8 million words. If you're using a well created, well placed video, you can turn 60 seconds or less into revenue for your business.
Simply put, video helps maximize your marketing efforts so that people can find you and engage with the parts of your message you want them to remember. When video is present on your website or social networking sites, search engines take notice and it becomes easier for people to find you!
We handle almost every aspect of the production including the script, assisting with talent selection, shooting, set layout, visuals, effects, 3D animation, motion graphics, etc.
We have experience creating product videos and promotional sales videos in a variety of industries targeting businesses as well as consumers. Additionally, the videos we create have been used in many different ways including weddings, sports, cable television, live presentations, online advertising, online presentations, audition reels for Hollywood actors and actresses and more.
Want to capture footage of your son during his state championship run in high school? We can help. When talking with possible college recruiters, you can have a professional video ready for them to view - either online or on DVD.
Combine your new video project with your powerful web presence (that we can also help you with!) to completely corner your industry! Click here to visit the exclusive video site, TJ21video.com.
Data Backup & Storage with BakOps
TJ21 Media Group is proud to partner with BakOps: Operation Enterprise Backup.
BakOps focuses on simple setup and operation, total reliability, and easy management for their customers. By leveraging open-source technologies that have been long proven in the marketplace and that are currently state-of-the-art, BakOps provides a reliable, secure, and extensible backup solution.
In contrast to other backup clients that require a 3-day training course before you can even do an install, BakOps Windows Client is easy to use. They focus on using technology to make things simpler at every turn. They call this feature the "zero-config install" which means that most of the installation and tuning choices are built into the installer and client, so you can simply install, register the new account, and choose additional data to backup. The BakOps service was focused around the health care industry in the beginning and because of this they made sure to facilitate regulatory compliance for such strict standards such as PCI DSS and HIPAA.
You've tried other backup programs such as Carbonite, CrashPlan and Mozy... It's time to step up to the plate and see why BakOps has more features than all three combined. Features like:
Instant Restore
Realtime File Check
Automated Self-Tuning
As part of our partnership between TJ21 Media Group and BakOps, we are proud to offer an amazing deal. Using the promotional code tj21media, you can receive 50% off your order of BakOps, when purchasing the annual package (see terms below).
Promotional terms: offer only good on first order of at least an annual package. Does not apply to monthly orders. When signing up with BakOps, you become a customer of BakOps, not of TJ21 Media Group. Any technical support, billing or anything else related to BakOps, must be handled directly with BakOps.
Mobile Web DevelopmentIn today's society, people want information immediately when they are searching for it. With 61.2 million smart phones or wireless devices in operation in the US, doesn't it make sense to make the mobile consumer the best possible experience on your website?
Have you ever been out for the evening and decided to check out the website of a local restaurant to see what type of menu they offer only to find that the site is waaayy to big to fit on your mobile phone? Most likely you left the site and searched for another restaurant. This type of thing happens all the time. When today's consumers are ready to buy, they are more likely to purchase from a business that they can search for on line from wherever they are.
On top of websites that are too big to fit on a mobile screen, resulting in having to scroll around the site, many mobile phones will not display flash components that are common on a full size website. On top of that, images that load quickly on a full size web site can take excruciatingly long on a mobile phone, regardless of how fast the connection is. All of these are reasons for your potential customers to go elsewhere.
In today's society, people want information immediately when they are searching for it. With 61.2 million smart phones or wireless devices in operation in the US, doesn't it make sense to make the mobile consumer the best possible experience on your website? Shockingly, less than 1% of all businesses in the US have a mobile ready website.
Did you know that in a recent survey conducted by Forrester Research, more than 50% of consumers buying at your normal retail stores begin their searches online? Almost 77% of households have at least one cell phone. Yet, according to Forrester, the proportion of homes with land lines has dropped to 89%, the lowest level since 1965. Industry analysts predict that after 2015, there will be more users connected to the Internet through mobile phones through desktop computers - something that even just a few years ago would have been unthinkable.
Is your marketing plan ready for this tsunami of mobile consumers? How are you planning to get their attention? The answer is a mobile website from TJ21 Media Group.
Social Media MarketingIn our cache of internet tools, social media SEO is becoming one of our fastest growing, on-line marketing initiatives. Social media marketing refers to the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.
Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their social networks. A corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself. Hence, this form of marketing is driven by word-of-mouth, meaning it results in earned media rather than paid media.
A few years ago, it would have been unthinkable to even use search engine optimization (SEO) and social media in the same sentence. Social media sites like Facebook were considered a social not a business venue with limited application or value to business operations. Not any more!
Recent algorithmic changes by both Google and Bing to validate the quality of the social media content found on websites means social media is growing in importance. Search engines are now looking at the "authority" of the account holder and placing more importance on any links posted on sites like Twitter and Facebook. Those that make the grade are being rewarded with improved search engine rankings - even for regular searches.
Social media is a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access. Increased communication for organizations fosters brand awareness and often, improved customer service. Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns.
At TJ21 Media Group, we offer a full range of social media marketing services for your business. Whether you are a small start up company or a corporation with 10,000 employees, we can help brand your business online, engage customers and boost sales performance. Combine our strategic professional video services with our creative web development along with social media integration and watch your web presence grow beyond your expectations!
As the desire for the instant gratification provided by mobile devices and social media increases, so will the number of people accessing social media on their smartphones. The number of social platforms is also set to increase. From the success of Pinterest in 2011, many experts predict that more multimedia platforms are in the mix and will dominate the market in the coming years, making high quality content, image and video creation more of a necessity. While the future of social media is hard to predict, one thing is for sure; social media is not a fad that is set to go away anytime soon. Instead, it is an important new marketing strategy that, in order to be competitive, small businesses need to embrace fully.

Shared Web HostingTJ21 Media Group has partnered with a national server which features 24/7 server monitoring, weekly backups, 24/7 premium support and 99.9% guaranteed uptime.
A shared web hosting service refers to a web hosting service where many websites reside on one web server. Each site "sits" on its own section on the server, to keep it separate from other sites. This is generally the most economical option for hosting, as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.
Every hosting account features unlimited email accounts, unlimited domains and unlimited databases. We can even transfer your existing domain over to our servers! Software features include: cPanel/WHM, 64-bit Centos Linux, MySql Databases, Email Accounts, PHP5 w/ Zend, Python, Cron Jobs, cUrl, LibGD, CGI, Softaculous, Subdomains, Add-on / Parked Domains, FTP Accounts and IonCube.

Seach Engine Optimization (SEO)Search engine optimization is the most important long-term investment for any business website. SEO is the most cost-effective way to drive visitors to your website by building up your website's organic search engine ranking. Its strategies and analytics improve the volume and quality of traffic to your website.
Building a website without SEO is a like designing an automobile with no engine. It's not going anywhere soon. You can have the greatest website in the world, but if no one knows about it, what good is it?
Our proprietary SEO strategies combined with advanced SEO analytics and reporting software ensures we can provide high-quality, enterprise level SEO services for small to medium sized businesses. We get great results by extending your business reach deep into the digital world of Internet commerce! For your business, that shift means exponentially more on-line exposure.

We will shoot a video for you that is better than any still-photo virtual tour. How? Because a video tour moves. A video is NOT still photos. No matter what it is called, if what you are viewing has still photos in it, it is NOT a video. Don't be fooled. We shoot full-motion video tours of the home, property, even the neighborhood. Think of it as a movie trailer for your listing. Today's internet savvy buyers want full-motion videos, not still boring photo slide shows. Everyone uses still photos and 360 degree pans but, by using a true real estate video tour, with continuous flowing images as the camera moves from room to room, will impress your potential clients with your initiative and use of today's technology. Along with a custom voiceover reading the prepared script about the home, for an additional charge we can feature on-screen "hosts" or models talking about the home.
Also included in the package price is a free one-year custom domain to host the video, with links and logos linked to the real estate agent right on the website. Selling a house at 1225 Main St? Tell people to watch the video tour at www.1225MainSt.com!
Why a full motion video tour?
Full motion video tours of real estate listings are the wave of the future. Still photo slide shows, virtual tours are relics of the past. It's all about today's technology:
1. Everyone is online! From groceries to clothing to house hunting, there is a video for everything. Did you know: 91% of all real estate inquiries now start online. By 2014, 90% off all web traffic will be video - the time to start is now!
2. 73% of all home sellers prefer an agent who uses video to sell their home. Less than 1% do. Do you want to be part of that 1%? Do you want to have an edge over 99% of your competitors? Or you do want them to get the edge over you?
3. Image is everything. Social media and video are here to stay. By using video you let the world know that you are an agent on the cutting edge of online marketing technology. What would you prefer? Static photos or a sweeping video that gives your prospective clients a true feel for the layout of your listing. Show the world that you are using current technology. the same technology many of them use.
4. Branding. Two houses are for sale. One has a few still photos and the other has a full motion video. Given a choice, which one are the buyers going to want to see in person? Video is an incredible branding tool. It will set you miles apart from your competitors who do not have a real estatevideo of their listings. You will be in a better position to get almost every listing you go for if you offer your prospective client a video during your listing appointment.
5. TJ21 Media Group is the real estate video resource to help you, the Seller's agent, to get your listing to as large a pool of potential buyers as possible, by offering your client the option to have their home shot on digital video. Not yesterday's still photo slide show but a moving, accurate video of your listing.
Thank you!

Dallas Cowboys
The Nemesis:
On one Sunday afternoon in 2009, one of the greatest games by a Cowboys receiver took place. Miles Austin was in his third season with the club but was only making his first start for the injured Roy Williams. Austin was talented player who had shown flashes of potential but never the possibility of a 10-catch, 250-yard day. Austin also had two touchdowns that afternoon, his final one, the game-winner in overtime.
After that day, Miles Austin was never viewed the same. Four years later, Austin is coming off a productive outing against the New York Giants as he once again prepares for a return to Kansas City. In studying the Chiefs secondary, I like the matchup of Austin on Sean Smith on the outside. Brandon Flowers is the Chiefs best cover man and he will most likely draw
The Weapon:
In Tony Romo's only start against the Chiefs in 2009, he completed 20 passes on that chilly day in Kansas City but he made them all count by averaging over 10 yards a completion. Half of those passes were to Miles Austin, who was on his way to a Cowboys receiving record.
The Chiefs defensive coordinator is Bob Sutton who spent the majority of his NFL career working with Rex Ryan and the New York Jets. The scheme and approach that Sutton has taken with this Chiefs defense is very similar to what Ryan does with the Jets. It's a 3-4 scheme that believes in bringing pressure from all angles. These are the types of chess games that Romo enjoys playing. When it turns into a thinking man's game, Romo finds a way to be at his best.
He will use his weapons to his advantage to try and counter what he is going to see from Sutton.
Under The Radar:
With a good week of practice, I expect to see Lance Dunbar make his first appearance of the regular season against the Chiefs. Bill Callahan needs to figure out a plan to keep this Chiefs defense from blitzing him in this game on third down, so this is where Dunbar will help this club. He has the ability to help with those loose plays in space by running the ball but with check downs and screens as well. He is such an explosive player that can put pressure on a defense right now.
The Chiefs have a nice group of linebackers inside with Akeem Jordan and Derrick Johnson but dealing with Dunbar could present a whole different set of problems for them. There is such a different dynamic when the ball is in his hands.
During our time in Oxnard, you got the feeling watching the practices that Callahan and this offensive staff were creating plays to get him the ball. He can be special in this zone scheme getting the ball on the edge and around the corner. His lack of height allows him to work behind the line, then make a cut when he sees a crease. The Chiefs front seven is an aggressive group and a player with the ability of Dunbar can take advantage of that.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Nemesis: Dwayne Bowe
In the only time that Dwayne Bowe has faced the Dallas Cowboys in his career, he averaged over 14 yards a reception. Bowe is one of those players like Victor Cruz or Hakeem Nicks who the Cowboys faced last week that can take over a game with his play on the field.
Throughout his career, his receptions have historically have been for large gains. His size can him difficult to have to deal with. He is fearless as a route runner and will take his routes all over the field. He is sneaky fast and you will see him get in and out of breaks easily. Not afraid to physically push defensive backs off in order to buy separation. He can be a dangerous red zone player in that he fully understands how to play in a small space and get himself open.
Bowe had a very quiet game by his standards last week against Jacksonville and has even had a quiet preseason in working with Alex Smith. The one advantage that the Cowboys have in this game on defense, is that
The Weapon: Brandon Albert
It might seem odd that I would say that the weapon for the Chiefs in this game would be an offensive tackle but that's the case. In my view, Brandon Albert is a really nice player on that left side. He plays with an ease of movement and can adjust very well in space. He can kick and slide to the outside to work himself into position to make blocks and once he is there, his punch is quite forceful. Have seen him jam a rusher in the chest, stop his charge, buy himself some separation and settle in to complete the block. He can be a load in the running game by getting push on the move. Will use his size to his advantage. Can reach or cut off his man but manage to stay on his feet.
Under The Radar: Mike DeVito
The Cowboys in their defensive line have
There is nothing flashy about the way that DeVito plays but at the point of attack he can be difficult to move because he is not going to let himself get outwork. He is going to play with power and toughness no matter how many blockers he has to take on.
DeVito plays well with his hands, he can extend and flatten the tackle out down the line, then shed the blocker and backdoor the play. He is a perfect two-gap end because he understands how to play with leverage and get off the block. He is not a dynamic pass rusher or a guy with a great deal of pass rush moves. He is relentless in the way he attacks the blocker and there are even times when you will see him slide down inside and take a rush or two at nose. Not pretty about his game but you will notice him.

Aiming for the $1bn target
Thursday 03 September 1998
Ian Gowrie-Smith, the Australian entrepreneur who steered the company through a flotation on Nasdaq in July, said he wanted to turn SkyePharma into a $1bn dollar company by the year 2000.
SkyePharma's market value on Nasdaq, the US index for high-growth companies, is around $450m. The shares are also listed in London, where the firm is worth around pounds 230m.
Mr Gowrie-Smith said SkyePharma was targeting US drug companies worth $20m to $30m each, calling on $60m reserves and the issue of new shares. Mr Gowrie-Smith said the company also starts to gain a $30m-a-year royalty payment early in 1999 from the sales of a new version of SmithKline Beecham best-selling anti-depressant Paxil.
SkyePharma reported an increase in its interim pretax loss to pounds 10.4m from pounds 9.2m a year ago, on turnover down 23 per cent to pounds 5m. The company said the shortfall was due to higher costs for the development of new products and lower revenue. Mr Gowrie-Smith, founder and driving force behind Medeva, another biotechnology group, expected earnings to pick up in the second half. Shares in SkyePharma closed down 1p at 57p.
