When it Comes to Social Media: "Don't Believe the Hype"
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After Zynga (NASDAQ: ZNGA) beat the estimates of Wall Street with its recent earnings and is up sharply, investors should heed the advice of Chuckie D of Public Energy: "Don't believe the hype."
The social media sector consisting of companies such as Zynga, Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN), Angie's List (NASDAQ: ANGI), and FriendFinders Network (NASDAQOTH: FFNTQ) is lacking in one key ingredient: an economic moat, which protects the business model of a company from competition and time.
There is nothing in the business model of any social media company that comes remotely close to an economic moat. For Facebook (NASDAQ: FB), it membership of more than 1 billion is certainly formidable, but it is not an economic moat. There have been many articles about Facebook that predict it will go the way of MySpace. That certainly does not happen with companies that have a wide economic moat such as Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) or McDonald's (NYSE: MCD).
While there are articles discussing why Facebook will go out of business, it is already happening with Zynga, Groupon, Angie's List, and FriendFinders Network. As the table below shows, the financials for each social media company are abysmal.

There really is nothing offered by these social media companies that cannot easily be replicated by CraigsList, a newspaper, or another social media site. That is shown by how far each has fallen in share price. Facebook has fallen too, but it has bounced back due to the overreaction from its poorly executed initial public offering.
Those looking to profit from the social media sector should establish short positions when the share prices for companies like Zynga surge. Zynga is up 33.68% for the last quarter. As the stock is now around $2.90 a share, that is not much in price.
But it does leave room for a high percentage profit for a short position. When the price is that low, it is very difficult for a stock to recover. Trading is very sloppy. Institutions will avoid it due to their charter. Much of the action is the result of speculators and day traders, moving in and out, going both long and short.
Over the last year, the share price of Zynga is down by almost 80%. But is up almost 20% for the last week as earnings improved, beating what the analyst community was expecting. But Zynga is still losing money. The share price is off by 70% from the initial public offering price. Moreover, it is still losing money. And revenues were down 15%.
Volume is up sharply in recent trading for Zynga along with its share price. It is difficult to see how that can that upward trajectory can be sustained with revenues falling and the company continuing to lose money. Without an economic moat, the share price of Zynga should start to decline again, along with those for Groupon, Angie's List, and FriendFinder Network.

By RONALD BLUMAP Sports Writer
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Given five months to reflect, Brian McCann isn't positive he would confront an opponent again the way he went after Milwaukee's Carlos Gomez last year.
The New York Yankees' new All-Star catcher reported Friday ahead of spring training workouts and was asked about the Sept. 25 confrontation in Atlanta.
Angry Paul Maholm hit him with a pitch in June, Gomez shouted at the pitcher as he slowly rounded the bases following a home run. McCann stood in the third base line about 20 feet from the plate and blocked Gomez, and benches emptied.
"I'm not sure," McCann said when asked whether he would do it again. "My instincts took over. I had a baby two days before. I got no sleep. Wasn't in the mood."

LONDON, Aug. 3 (UPI) — Zara Phillips, the recently married daughter of Princess Anne, Britain's princess royal, said she is now Mrs. Mark Tindall in private life.
In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Phillips said she will compete in equestrian events under her maiden name.
"I'm keeping it for the professional side, to use it for work. I'm very much Mrs. Tindall in private — and maybe will be sometimes publicly," she said. "Let's say I'm going to keep both of them."
Phillips and Mark Tindall, captain of the England rugby team, were married Saturday in a private ceremony at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland. Two days later, Phillips was back on horseback.
"Truthfully, I don't know when I'll take my honeymoon," she said. "We both work so hard, we may have to wait until we're both retired."
Tindall was photographed the day after the ceremony in the morning coat he was married in because he had forgotten to bring a change of clothes, Phillips said.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - San Diego voters have spoken, and it will be a Republican squaring off against a Democrat early next year for the office of mayor.
Republican Kevin Faulconer easily came out on top during Tuesday's mayoral special election. He cruised to an easy first place finish, but he knows there is still work to do if he is to be San Diego's next mayor.
"You can't take anything for granted, and we've got to redouble our efforts and work twice as hard," he said.
Faulconer is well aware of the history. The last four frontrunners in a San Diego mayor's runoff election have all lost. He plans to end that streak by making sure voters hear his message.
"Make the tough decisions at City Hall so we can do what's right with our neighborhoods, our streets, our parks, libraries, rec centers. San Diegans know they need a mayor that's going to hold true to that, make those tough decisions and get us back on track finally. I'm going to do that," Faulconer said.
Standing in Faulconer's way is Democrat David Alvarez, who slipped into second place, narrowly beating out Nathan Fletcher. If Alvarez is to overtake Faulconer, he knows he must have the support of Fletcher's voters.
"We want to build a coalition of individuals, and the majority of San Diegans --whether you work with Nathan or the other eight candidates that ran -- the important thing is we move forward as a city at the end of the day. That is what it's going to take," Alvarez said.
The results are not official yet, but Fletcher conceded Wednesday.
"I don't look back and second guess this decision and that decision. We gave it everything we had. We came up a little bit short and I'm totally at peace and comfortable with that," Fletcher said.
Fletcher says he is now done running for public office, and endorsed Alvarez, who quickly turned his focus to Faulconer.
"He is the establishment candidate. He is the status quo. He is the downtown special interest, and we don't want to go back to that," Alvarez said.
"San Diegans need a mayor that is going to do the right thing and put San Diegans first. It's not about being a Republican, a Democrat, it's doing what's best for this city," Faulconer said.

National Brittany Rescue - Arizona Chapter
Facts about AZ - Denny
- Breed: Brittany/Pointer Mix
- Color: White - With Red, Golden, Orange Or Chestnut
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
My name is AZ - Denny!
AZ - Denny's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Denny is believed to be a 6 - 7 yr old Brittany Pointer mix. He was pulled from a Tucson, AZ shelter where his life was in danger. We believe Denny spent a lot of time outside in the Arizona sun because he had melanoma on his belly. Denny has a fair complextion and short hair, therefore he is at a higher risk that most dogs for skin cancer. We have had the melanoma tags removed and he is doing well. Denny was quite thin when we got him from the shelter but with special food and supplements he is striving.
Denny is very birdy but probably hasn't had any formal hunt training. He minds well overall but would definitely benefit from some obedience classes and one on one attention. He is a flight risk off leash.
Denny is housetrained, crate trained, gets along with the other dogs and is very loveable and silly. He loves to do the Denny dance. If you ever meet him, just ask him to perform it for you.
If you are interested in Denny, please submit an application via our website at www.nbran.org. You may also contact Robin Smith at email@example.com.
Please note that NBRAN's adoption process includes an application, home visit, and vet reference before adoptions are approved. The adoption donation is $300.

How to verify Social Security benefits
Jim Miller is responsible for this content, which is not edited by the Wilson County News or wilsoncountynews.com.

Dear Savvy Senior,
When my neighbor applied for his retirement benefits last year, he found that Social Security had made some mistakes on his earnings record in past years, which caused him to get a monthly benefit check that was lower than it should have been. He never got it straightened out. How can I make sure this doesn't happen to me?
Paranoid Paul
Dear Paul,
The best way to keep an eye on your Social Security benefits and avoid any possible mistakes is to carefully review your Social Security statement, which you can now do online.
Just go to ssa.gov/mystatement and answer a few questions to verify your identity, and then print your statement out on paper. If you're age 60 or older and not yet receiving benefits, your statement will actually be mailed to you about three months before your birthday.
Your Social Security statement lists your earnings record for each year of employment, and estimates the benefits you and your family may receive as a result of those earnings.
Once you get your statement in front of you, take some time to verify its accuracy by comparing the earnings listed on your statement with your own tax records or W-2 statements. And if you spot a discrepancy, follow these steps:
�Call your nearest Social Security office (see ssa.gov/locator or call 1-800-772-1213 to get the number) to report the error. Some corrections can be made over the phone, or you may need to schedule an appointment and go in with copies of your W-2 forms or tax returns to prove the mistake, or you can mail it in.
�If you suspect a discrepancy but don't have backup records, the Social Security Administration (SSA) may be able to use your employment information to search its records and correct mistakes. If the SSA can't locate your records, you'll need to contact the employer to obtain a copy of your W-2 for the year in question.
�Once your earnings record is corrected, SSA will send you a confirming letter. If you don't receive the confirmation within three months, contact them again, and double-check the correction by making sure it appears on your Social Security statement.
�If corrections aren't made on your statement, start an appeals process (see ssa.gov/pubs/10041.html).
Other Mistakes
Social Security earnings miscalculations can also happen if there's a mistake in your current mailing address that the IRS has on file for you. Check your federal tax returns for this possible error, especially if you've moved recently.
To correct your address, contact the IRS at 1-800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you the "Change of Address" Form 8822, or print it off at irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8822.pdf, fill it out, and mail it back to the address on the form.
Other factors that can cause mistakes are if your name or date of birth in the SSA records isn't the same as it appears in the IRS files. Name mistakes most often occur for women who have changed their name following a marriage or divorce. So double-check your Social Security statement for these possible mishaps, and if you notice an error call the 1-800-772-1213 and ask for Form SS-5, "Application for a Social Security Card," and submit it with the correct information. The form can also be downloaded at ssa.gov/online/ss-5.pdf.
Calculation Errors
Even when all the earnings data is correct, SSA occasionally errs in calculating benefits. If you think your benefits have been miscalculated (see ssa.gov/pubs/10070.html), point it out to your local Social Security office and ask them to recalculate. If they do find an error, make sure you receive a confirming letter and that the correction appears on your statement. If you're already receiving benefits, the SSA will reimburse you for the amount of the error.

Region 1
Camden County clinched the region title with its 24-7 victory over Lowndes on Friday, and the Wildcats will be the No. 1 seed regardless of the outcome of their game against Colquitt County this week. Lowndes will be the No. 2 seed. A Valdosta victory over Coffee would make Valdosta the No. 3 seed and Colquitt County No. 4. Coffee still has a shot, but the Trojans must beat Valdosta.
Region 2
Lovejoy and Newton have clinched the top two positions, and Alcovy has clinched a playoff berth. The winner of the Rockdale County-Druid Hills game will be the other playoff team. If Rockdale County wins, the Bulldogs would be the No. 4 seed and Alcovy would be No. 3. If Druid Hills wins, the Red Devils would be the No. 3 seed and Alcovy No. 4 (unless Alcovy upsets Lovejoy, which would then give Alcovy third place).
Region 3
Hughes clinched the first region title and No. 1 seed in the program's short history with its 17-13 victory over Tri-Cities on Friday. The winner of this week's Newnan-East Coweta game will take second place, and the loser will be No. 3. The winner of Friday's game between Douglas County and Tri-Cities will be the No. 4 team.
Region 4
McEachern has clinched the region title and No. 1 seed. North Cobb (which plays Campbell), Marietta (vs. Harrison) and Hillgrove (vs. McEachern), can clinch the second, third and fourth seeds with victories this week. Hillgrove can earn a playoff spot even if it loses to McEachern if South Cobb loses to Pebblebrook or North Cobb beats Campbell. South Cobb can still make it if it wins, Hillgrove wins and North Cobb loses.
Region 5
Lassiter has clinched the No. 1 seed, and Walton has wrapped up second place. The No. 3 seed will be the winner of the game between Woodstock and Milton, which has clinched at least a playoff berth. Etowah can take fourth place if it upsets Lassiter and Woodstock loses. However, barring an upset by Woodstock or Etowah, Wheeler would finish as the No. 4 seed if it beats last-place Cherokee.
Region 6
Johns Creek, West Forsyth and Alpharetta are tied for first place and have clinched playoff berths. The region's other playoff team will be the winner of the Chattahoochee-Centennial game. West Forsyth will be the region champion if it beats sixth-place Lambert. If West Forsyth loses, the winner of Friday's Johns Creek-Alpharetta game will take the title.
Region 7
Norcross has clinched the region title, and North Gwinnett will be the No. 2 seed. The winner of the Collins Hill-Mill Creek game will be the No. 3 seed, and the loser will be the No. 4 seed.
Region 8
Parkview, South Gwinnett, Grayson and Brookwood have clinched playoff berths and play each other this week (Parkview vs. South Gwinnett, Grayson vs. Brookwood). Here are the four possible outcomes and the seeding they would produce:
*If Parkview, Grayson win: 1. Parkview, 2. Grayson, 3. South Gwinnett, 4. Brookwood
*If Parkview, Brookwood win: 1. Parkview, 2. Grayson, 3. South Gwinnett, 4. Brookwood
*If South Gwinnett, Grayson win: 1. Grayson, 2. South Gwinnett, 3. Parkview, Brookwood
*If South Gwinnett, Brookwood win: 1. South Gwinnett, 2. Parkview, 3. Grayson, Brookwood

@DA1 I think Alpharetta can definitely win on Friday night but I think all of Region 6 will be 1 and done in the playoffs. Region 7 is just too strong.
November 6th, 2012
10:53 pm
I almost want to say that there are too many teams in the playoffs, but I would rather have a system that ensured all good teams get in even if it means some lesser teams get in as a result. It gives it a March Madness type feel that gets everyone hype and looking for a glass slipper.
November 6th, 2012
11:05 pm
My crystal ball (actually I rubbed a Viking helmet) says all four region 1-AAAAAA teams will make it to the final 8. Valdosta defeating Hughes to get there, Lowndes defeating Lovejoy, Camden defeating anyone it plays up to this point, where it will go to war against Grayson (at Camden), and Colquitt defeating McEachern then the 2nd place team from Region 3-AAAAAA. Looking past the 3rd round is cloudy at this time.
November 6th, 2012
11:23 pm
@VikingFan — I am calling for a Grayson win and Parkview loss. This will put Grayson on opposite side of Camden until the Championship. It also means you will be taking a trip up here to Atlanta to play Grayson again in the 2nd round. Should be a good battle once again!!

AVikingFan…….Do you see anything about the Power Ball numbers?
November 7th, 2012
12:19 am
AVikingFan – I like the way you think! Valdosta's first task is to grab the R-1 #3 seed by beating Coffee Friday. Then we can worry about the next game. Meanwhile, you guys enjoy your week off and get Lang and Burgman healthy.

if you havent noticed…the grayson bloggers are hoping parkview loses so they can avoid camden………hahahahah

valdosta has the better team over coffee………but that is goin to be a very very hard game for valdosta to win in douglas…..coffee was not that good last year and beat valdosta
November 7th, 2012
12:44 am
I hate to sound like you, BK, and make excuses, but the infamous Douglas area officiating crew had a lot to do with the outcome of that game last year.They and the Golden Isles refereeing crews aren't going to let the visitors get too comfortable a lead, or establish much momentum before the yellow hankies start falling like acid rain. The Vikes will see that when you visit Brunswick next year. Count on it.
November 7th, 2012
12:49 am
57cat………….i know…i did find and watch the coffee and valdosta game on ihigh from last year. Yall didnt play well though in that game as well……….yes there were some bogus calls. maybe yall will take cae of business this time though
November 7th, 2012
1:05 am
@bksmith14 – Nope, not trying to avoid Camden at all. It would be nice to win region and get two games at home before the famous coin toss. Based on the two teams' strengths, I think some people in R8 really think South can beat Parkview. I have a hard time calling it. If South plays like the team I saw play Brookwood and Archer, I think they have a good chance. If they play like the team we beat, Parkview wins.
So far as Camden, we aren't afraid of them at all. Respect them, certainly, fear them, I think not. We will gladly play which ever team the schedule works out. Still a lot of chances for the brackets to change. If the Packers beat Camden and we wind up in first in R8, I think we still match up with Camden in the same bracket. This year more than most it really is going to come down to the last game to decide everything.
November 7th, 2012
1:08 am
@AVikingFan – I think retirement clouded your Viking helmet! Lots of big ifs there. Seriously, it is going to be a week to week thing more than usual this year. I haven't even penciled any teams into the brackets since I know I'll be erasing every week!

BK — Not avoiding Camden just think the Camden-Grayson game will make for a great final versus Grayson-Camden in the 3rd round. Grayson not running scared from anybody.
November 7th, 2012
8:08 am
South Gwinnett will beat Parkview. Grayson needed that punch in the mouth by Parkview to wake up and I think they will be #1 in the end. Too much is going right in Grayson…………Grayson will win it all again this year. Camden is only team that can possibly stop them.
November 7th, 2012
9:01 am
I love it how Camden and Grayson are planning a little Championship party…too bad the Norcross Blue Devils are going to crash it!!!!
November 7th, 2012
9:34 am
@ Norcross Fan
Maybe the Grayson and Camden fans are planning as you say a Championship party but rest assured that is not the mindset of the Grayson football team. They are focused on the task at hand and that is beating Brookwood Friday night.
November 7th, 2012
9:56 am
All of the Region 6 playoff teams are dangerous first round opponents. Definitely underdogs to the region 7 teams but dangerous none the less.
November 7th, 2012
10:21 am
@Fred …regardless of the results from the Camden-Colquitt game, Camden is still the region champ & #1 seed from 1AAAAAA …therefore the only way to avoid a possible early 3rd round match-up between Grayson & Camden @ Camden is for Grayson to win their region…
November 7th, 2012
10:50 am
…either way Grayson will have earned it if they make it to the Dome again …(barring upsets) 2nd place & you get to go to Camden in 3rd round …1st place and you get Lowndes at home in the 3rd round …being a 1AAAAAA fan …I'm thinking that one of the wildcards this year will be Colquitt (if they make the playoffs) …3rd place (…Coffee beats Valdosta) & they are on left side of bracket …4th place (Valdosta beats Coffee) & they are on the right side of bracket…
November 7th, 2012
11:01 am
So no matter what it looks like Brookwood will visit Lassiter in round 1. Considering Lassiter beat Walton and Walton beat Brookwood this should be a favorable match up for Lassiter.
In addition to Alpharetta as a dark horse to watch, I think McEachern is in decent position to make a run to the dome.
Final 4 prediction: Lassiter, McEachern, Grayson, Camden Co.
November 7th, 2012

Lets Go Pack we started our playoffs last week and now its on!!!
November 7th, 2012
11:21 am
@ AVIKINGFAN speed kills and not sure the Packers have handle speed very well this season! With that said I still think it is a great game but I see McEachern coming out on top!
November 7th, 2012
1:31 pm
This is kinda off subject….but notice that Camden after Friday night will have had away games with the 2nd 3rd and 4th seeds in Region 1. That's a pretty tough road. Anyway losing did wonders for Grayson. They look unstoppable. I wonder if it would do the same for Camden
November 7th, 2012
2:18 pm
i hear carson the good rb for parview may be out vs s giwnnett……..if so i really dont see parkview winning that game .
and through the first 4 rounds of the playoffs…the higher seeded team host…..no coin flip.
so if lowndes wins the first 2 rounds and grayson does also if they are the 1 seed then lowndes and grayson would have a quarterfinals showdown. Grayson will not score 25 points on this years viking defense…..would be lucky to get 2 tds in my opinion. And if we have our 2 best players on the field in that game …i expect one heck of a game…decided by 7 or less. Lowndes will not get beat by the run of grayson…knemdiche or not this time. It will take grayson goin to the air and i will take my chances with that bc graysons qb is not bad but nowhere near a qb the caliber of brice ramsey
November 7th, 2012
2:26 pm
@DATS RIGHT=I do have to admitt it,we are not as fast as alot of teams in the playoffs and we aren't playing defense like i would like over the last 4 games but its my team and we have to go with what we got ya know.But we do have a capable team but i don't know how far we can go and u might be right,hey we may not even get out of the first round but then we may get on another run. The theme for everyone is Anything Can Happen.I do think McEachern also has a very talented team and it will be a good game but i still like my team and our coach is outstanding in the playoffs and sometimes thats the difference.I mean McEachern wont be the first team that was more athletic than us heck most of the teams we have played in the playoffs over the last 3 or 4 years were more athletic than us and some even had better teams but like i said coaching sometimes makes a difference but its going to be fun either way
November 7th, 2012
3:00 pm
bk.It will take grayson goin to the air and i will take my chances with that bc graysons qb is not bad but nowhere near a qb the caliber of brice ramsey.
Let me get this straight, you think Lowndes will be able to run on Grayson and not have to throw, but Grayson will struggle with Lowndes defense running the ball and will have to throw to win?
November 7th, 2012
3:21 pm
The fight in the first round is going to be good. Region 1 vs. Region 4 will, I think, produce an upset or two. At this time, Camden will face either Hillgrove or Marietta. Both are 6-3 and can put points on the board in a hurry. The problem here is that Marietta is giving up 24 ppg. Hillgrove is allowing 17. Against Camden, they must be able to score early and often. If this can be accomplished, they have a shot at the upset. Unless Ramsey is allowed to throw, it will be hard for a wing T team to play catch-up. On the other hand, if they, either Marietta or Hillgrove does not stop the run, they will be in for a long night.
This scenario is duplicated for the 2nd seed for Region 1, Lowndes. The same things apply here except Lowndes has no passing game and it will be less of a challenge if either of these two teams can score effectively. Lowndes has shown that it can stop the run but what happens when the passing game comes into play ? Will Lang be the star that comes through ?
Colquit or Valdosta will be 3, the other 4. North Cobb and Mceachern can and will put points on the board. They face a problem that all the Region 4 teams face. Playing D. The lowest scoring D in the region is Hillgrove, giving up 160 points this year. They are followed by North Cobb at 163. They must be able to limit the scoring of these teams to have a shot.
November 7th, 2012
4:02 pm
@sportsnut nice assessment of region 4 vs region 1. I think you're spot on with the ppg allowed for region 4 and the lack of a passing game if region 1 teams get behind. However I do think the wing t is more difficult to stop than most teams realize and I think stacking the box against a Lowndes will still work to an opponents detriment. They've won three rings without a solid passing game to be honest. Actually I think the last few state winners ran the ball better than they passed… Much better. Even Grayson. What they also had in common were exceptional defenses so I guess they didn't have to worry much about trailing a team and playing catch up
November 7th, 2012
4:08 pm
bk, I see Grayson playing Norcross in the 2nd playoff game, unless South Gwinnett beats Parkview.
November 7th, 2012
4:33 pm
@ CamdenBlue == I have a theory about the wingT. It has worked before, maybe not on this level at this time but there is a reason the NFL and college teams do not run it. The defense became aware of the fact that since sometimes you don't know who has the ball, they decided to tackle the backfield. Tackle everyone behind the line of scrimmage. This is legal as long as it is behind the line of scrimmage. No holding calls for that reason alone.I have seen teams abandon their run game when this happens. If they do not realize it soon enough, they will find themselves down. Against a passing team, which they will face more than likely, you can't continue to run and allow the clock to tick. Having a good D is paramount. You must be able to stop the run first, and then the pass. Pass happy teams will come at you early and often, especially if they realize they can't stop you. The worry I have for Region 1 is that it is a running region. They will be tested by some good Qb's and recievers come round 1.
November 7th, 2012
4:35 pm
Sorry about the error. last line should read "receivers"
November 7th, 2012
5:07 pm
grayson vs lowndes would be one heck of a dogfight this year….
November 7th, 2012
5:12 pm
"it will be hard for a wing T team to play catch-up" this statement always cracks me up when I read this. It usually comes from those that have never had to stop the Wing-T. If you have the ball and keep the ball you don't have to play catch up. When run properly (And Camden does) it eats up 3-4 yards per time. You don't get the ball back. Now for those of you that think Camden can't play with the so called big boys that throw the ball. Go back and look when Camden played Miami-Central. They did play with throwing the ball and didn't have as good of a quarterback as they have now. So when you've stopped the Wing-T come back and tell everyone how you did it. Lowndes slowed it down and Camden stopped Lowndes every time except once but until you do stop it don't think it's that easy.
November 7th, 2012
5:27 pm
@sportsnut you make good points. Region 1 will be tested by great qbs especially if they play Lassiter. Your points are good in theory. It's just that in high school football there is rarely a qb good enough for those theories to be put into practice. When he gets to the next level is when he improves significantly. It's actually been proven that the teams that run well win state chips even when up against good passing teams. That's just the way high school is.
November 7th, 2012
5:30 pm
…it is always higher seed hosts …if teams hold the same playoff seeding(i.e. #1 for their region), the host team is determined by coin flip & that can happen as early as the 3rd round(quarters) …a 9-3 #1 seed has just as much of a chance at hosting as a 12-0 #1 seed (the flip of a coin) should their fortunes align…
November 7th, 2012
6:17 pm
It looks like Marietta will be at Lowndes in round 1 barring a Campbell upset of North Cobb. I'm interested to see how we can play against Lowndes. It will be a great challenge, but if our defense shows up, it could be a close game. Mceachern only beat us by 1 on a 2 point jump pass with 30 seconds left. We spotted North Cobb 14 when Jennings had 2 uncharacteristic turnovers. I would be on the lookout for a close game
November 7th, 2012
6:36 pm
Maybe Camden will get Hillgrove. I guarantee Camden won't get caught short this time if they play Hillgrove
November 7th, 2012
6:53 pm
marietta fan…..believe me…….i have already been telling a lot of the players to not overlook marietta….we all know we will have to play ball. If we do though i expect us to win by 2 tds at least. No disrespect to anyone yall have played…but yall have not played a team that has a defense as fast as Lowndes.
Camdenfan ……camden did shut lowndes running game down after drive 1…….you need to be reminded that yall shut it down with lowndes backup running backs…..the other 2 lang and burgman are much more explosive and faster. It would not have been as easy if they had been in the game
the wing t has won 7 out of the last 10 titles…………this year it will be 8 out of 11
November 7th, 2012
6:54 pm
Hereswhatittakes ………..hillgrove is nowhere near the team they were when they upset yall…….kenyon drake is now running the ball for the crimson tide
November 7th, 2012
7:04 pm
hillgrove and marietta are much better rd 1 opponents than lowndes has had to play over the last several years other than last year. Lowndes had to go on rd to stephenson and all the d -1 talent they had and shut them down 7-0. this defense is much better than that one
November 7th, 2012
7:23 pm
@bksmith14 Let it go. Man I understand that Lang and Burgman are REALLY good but unless they're superhuman beings they wouldn't have escaped 6 wildcats coming at them at a time. The offensive line got manhandled plain and simple like Mcpherson said. Lang and Burgman would have had NO running room at all just like JJ Green had NO running room against a very stout Lowndes defense. That is all.
November 7th, 2012
7:25 pm
Someone please take a snapshot of Marietta fan's post and paste it back on here in two weeks. Oh don't worry I'll do it
November 7th, 2012
7:39 pm
Bksmith….are there any other keys on your keyboard that works besides Lowndes didn't have this player or that player. No one cares. You are making yourself look so pathetic. If they had been in the game they would have been tackled. Please keep telling yourself about those two players but stop telling the rest of us. WE DON'T CARE. You can blast me all you want to but when you had those guys you only scored 17 points against Valdosta and Colquitt. Given that you still would have lost but you still would not have scored that many points on Camden.

The attorney overseeing the $28 million fund to benefit victims of the Boston Marathon bombings plans to unveil a tentative proposal Monday for distributing the money, including payments of "well over $1 million" to each of the families of people who died in the blasts and those who lost more than one limb.
Kenneth Feinberg, who was asked to distribute the money collected by The One Fund Boston Inc., said about a dozen victims who lost a single limb would probably receive amounts approaching $1 million under his preliminary proposal. He plans to unveil that proposal in advance of meetings with victims and other members of the community at the Boston Public Library in Copley Square on Monday and Tuesday.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Professional concerns were blamed for the departure of Appleton's emergency management director -- not last year's failure to activate the sirens when tornadoes hit.
The Post-Crescent examined Julie Loeffelholz's personnel file, after she was allowed to resign this past spring.
It contained a memo in which Outagamie County Executive Tom Nelson cited a "pattern of unprofessional behavior" separate from the problem with the sirens. The memo said Loeffelholz used foul language in her office, screamed at employees, and slammed down telephones.
The file said Loeffelholz would get her full salary and benefits through July, and she agreed not to sue the county of criticize them to others.
Loeffelholz received a lot of criticism last August, after outdoor tornado sirens failed to sound in advance of six tornadoes which hit the Appleton area. Those storms caused $31 million in damage.

Paul Lemiski: Chairmaker And More
Issue 342
Posted Date:
by Joanna Werch Takes
Paul Lemiski
primarily builds chairs: "Ninety percent of what I do is rocking chairs, dining chairs and bar stools," he said. He sometimes hears people say that a chair is the hardest thing to build, but "A chair to me is actually fairly simple, because it's what I'm most comfortable with, and what I do. It's my comfort level: what I first learned from is a chair."
Well, maybe not actually the very first project he learned from. Paul credits his original interest in woodworking to a "really great shop teacher" in high school -- and perhaps, to having anolder brother who passed on some wood from his WoodMizer sawmill to student Paul. "Other students were making birdhouses, but I made a rolltop desk," Paul said. "Obviously, I made mistakes."
He also took a bit of a detour after high school, going into business for a while selling auto and marine equipment, alarm systems and remote car starters. (He does live in Canada.) In 2008, his horse farm owner father needed some picnic tables. Paul made him 14 -- and that was the catalyst to get him back into pursuing woodworking, this time as a business.
Around this time, Paul found a book about Sam Maloof. "I fell in love with his style and his work ethic." He purchased instructional materials on making Maloof-style and spent around 500hours making his first chair, which he gave to his grandparents. "I determined that I was going to make at least 10 chairs before I charged the actual value of the chair," so the first 10 mostly went to friends and family, Paul said.
He's now up to 47 chairs. Although some are a combination of "a bunch of different woodworkers' skills and ideas," Paul said, "I'm most proud of the pieces I'm able to design myself." Most recently, that was Dining Chair No. 9, which he describes as "modern Dutch style, clean lines, it stands straight up and down. I finally hit it just right."
Paul himself now owns a small sawmill, which means, when it comes to his projects, "I'm able to make it myself, from cutting the log, and then to be able to design it as well as adjust as I make it, is something unique to woodworking, unique to my shop."
As he cuts those logs, Paul mostly works with cherry, walnut and maple, which are all local to him in the Toronto area. His favorite among these is walnut: "Every time I dress it and take away the sawmill marks, it's unique. Every piece is different, even from a few inches away in the same tree. It opens my eyes to how big the world is."
He will also use small pieces of exotic woods in places like the back braces of his chairs. A local lumber dealer friend is starting to get in what Paul describes as "some interesting woods from Nicaragua," which have not yet hit wide markets. Among them are chocolate tiger, ipe light and maca wood. "I'm able to use a very little bit of the rainforest to add a little bit of music to my chairs."
Paul also uses Gabon ebony, and black and white ebony, to create his screw plugs. "My long-grain to end-grain joints all get reinforced with 4" screws," he said.
"When you're trying to run a business, you have to find a balance between man and machine," Paul said. He does his cutting by machine, and much of his shaping by hand. His table joinery employs the tongue-and-groove method, as well as miter joints reinforced by floating tenons, created with the Festool Domino tool.
"With all my chairs, they're generally designed around the Maloof joint," Paul said. "There's a notch in the corner or side, then a tongue is created which is integral to the seat itself, which precisely aligns to the legs. It's very strong." Due to that strength, Paul is able to build chairs that don't have any stretchers. "They've got very modern, clean-looking legs," he said. "I have seen chairs with stretchers glued in too tightly, so that the seat can't move, and then that leads to problems. My chairs are able to breathe with the changing seasons."
One tool that's been used on the roughly 200 chair seats that have come through Paul's shop is the
Kutzall Sanding Disc
for an angle grinder. "It's like somebody took a handful of sand and threw it at the wheel, except instead of sand, it's carbide," Paul said. "The wheel never wears out, so you're not throwing away all that sandpaper trash. It's environmentally friendly and very safe."
When using it, though, "knowing how much wood to take off is where experience comes in. "If one person grinds a seat, it might be four hours of sanding, whereas if another person does it,it's 40 minutes of sanding."
Paul's had the chance to observe this, because he's now teaching his own students how to make chairs. "A lot more people can build furniture than can actually afford to buy furniture," he said. "Getting a saw blade on wood and making sawdust is the only way you're going to learn some woodworking."
So, he's teaching, "even though I still have questions -- I've only been at this for about four and a half years -- and I still have a lot to learn."
In fact, one of the pieces that Paul considers the most special is a double rocking chair he made as a wedding gift for a friend he's known since preschool. It's engraved underneath with the date of the wedding, and has now withstood regular use, children climbing on it, and more. "He's 30 years old, same as me," Paul said of the friend.
As he makes his chairs, "It means a lot to me, to see pieces stay in a family for years, maybe even get passed down," he said.

BUST Magazine
Date: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 - 6:00 pm
Duration: 1 Day 1 Hour
In conjunction with the exhibition Pilgrimage and Faith: Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam, the Rubin Museum of Art presents The Road that Teaches, an on-stage conversation series exploring faith and pilgrimage from a variety of perspectives.
Guests from different walks of life and spiritual experiences, including feminist icon Gloria Steinem, artist Hughie O'Donoghue, and poet Eliza Griswold, will reflect on questions like: What is sacred in this largely secular age? How do we honor other belief systems? What is it about pilgrimage that lends it abiding power to transform?
"All of us in life wonder where we are headed," says Rubin Museum Producer Tim McHenry. "The pilgrimage towards a sacred destination becomes a metaphor for life's journey and so is a powerful way to test our tenacity, to engage with community, and learn something of ourselves. It is the road that teaches. In this series we hope to learn something from others' experience."
Gloria Steinem + Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo
Wednesday, June 1; 6:00pm
Feminist icon and writer Gloria Steinem and British-born Tibetan Buddhist nun Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo will engage on questions of faith, the wellspring of belief, and Tenzin Palmo's pilgrimage to India that led her to sequester herself in a "Cave in the Snow" for twelve years.

Elle Evans took it all off — up top anyway — for the infamously unrated video version of Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines over the summer. But don't judge. Evans is an artiste, and man, can she strut. We caught up with svelte Texan about the "blurry" experience and her burgeoning career.
What did you think about the nudity aspect of the video?
I honestly didn't think too much about it at all. I have always been comfortable in my own skin, and this was a project I just couldn't say no to. When my booker called with the details of the job, I totally jumped on the opportunity because I've been a fan of Robin, Pharrell and TI for years and years.
Did you think "Blurred Lines" was going to be such a big hit?
Those artists combined, I knew it was going to be huge. After I left the audition I had the song stuck in my head for like a week!
What was the atmosphere on the video like?
Totally welcoming, comfortable and fun. We got an early start, had a big breakfast, hair and makeup, and were on set for at least 12 hours, but it was over so quickly.
What else are you working on?
I'm acting more and more: studying, reading scripts, researching roles, meeting directors and running lines. I am still doing auditions and castings in LA when I can, but I am now able to be more selective with what I want to work on so that's exciting. Life is great. I was also on the cover of FHM France last month. I love international work.
How do you stay in shape?
I've been working out with a personal trainer and am really getting in to it. I also go to the gym on my own and try to get in as much cardio as possible. I also really like to go to classes at my gym. It's fun when you want to change it up for a bit or if you need to work on something specific, and the music is usually always good.
Any guilty pleasures?
At the moment, Eggo waffles.
What is something you want readers to know about you?
I'm just a Southern, small town girl with big dreams and an even bigger heart. I have been very blessed in this life, and I want to share my gifts with the world, even if it's just a smile. I love to see people happy.
Who is your favorite model?
Probably Candice Swanepoel, who is just way beyond gorgeous: Great skin, great body, great hair, great lips and those eyes! She is one of the best out there, and I also like her a lot because we have the same measurements [laughs]. I also love that she's from South Africa; I've been there before, and it is one of the most amazing places to vacation and work.
Who is your inspiration and why?
My grandmother Margaret Rose, my Mimi. She was with me every single day during my youngest years, before I started school. She taught me how to read before I was in kindergarten. Even after starting school, I stayed with her for those few hours before my mom got off work. Aside only from my dear, sweet, mother, my Mimi is who I have to thank for raising me into the young woman I am today. Her encouragement was endless. My biggest fan. She passed away Aug. 24. I know she is watching over me, and I will continue to make her proud.

10 Spoon Rests to Catch the Drips
Product Roundup
Spoon rests are a slightly controversial kitchen tool: some cooks love 'em, while others think they're a waste of space. For my part, I think they're handy, and it beats getting drips all over my stove and countertop. Most spoon rests are affordable, too; you can find handmade ceramic or stoneware rests for around $10. Here are 10 we like, from simple wood and white versions to one with a whimsical cloud shape.
- 1 Cloud Spoon Rest, $11 from JD Wolfe Pottery
- 2 Tinware Spoon Rest by Canvas, $10 from Burke Decor
- 3 Handmade Wood Spoon Rest, $12 from Schoolhouse Electric
- 4 Utility Spoon Rest, $20 from Pigeon Toe Ceramics
- 5 Okuno Spoon Rest, $12 from Anthropologie
- 6 Stoneware Clay Spoon Rest in Yellow, $10 from Muds Evolution Pottery
- 7 Pottery Spoon Rest, $12 from The Cupcake Kid
- 8 Melamine Spoon Rest, $6.95 from Crate & Barrel
- 9 Alessi Blip Spoon Rest, $27 from Nova68
- 10 Ceramic Spoon Rest, $11 from Mudamorphosis

10 Comments
Always fond of the simple lines and bright colors of the Fiestaware spoon rest.
I love my stand-up spoon rest, like this:
It takes up less space (at least in my mind).
I have the one from Crate and Barrel. It's really durable and easy to wash.
I cheat. My spoon rest is a 3 square inch white ceramic tile from Home Depot, left over from a crafting project. 17 cents.
I have the Alessi one. Whenever it gets messy, I pop it anywhere in the dishwasher and it's good as new. Also, I keep kosher and metal items (unlike most ceramics) can easily be made kosher for passover or switching between meat and dairy. Beautiful and practical.
FYI, the URL on #2 (Tinware) points to a page that looks to be the wrong page
What's wrong with using a small saucer or plate that you may already have? Or, in the case of my Mom, the lid of a plastic food storage container (she has lots of lids but no matching container for some reason).
I use the spoon rest to rest used tea bags - place spoon rests next to mug of tea when serving.
Thanks for the catch! It's fixed now.
This is the one I have: http://www.thepolishpotteryoutlet.com/m7/P093T-54--spoon-rest.html

When not in use, brush heads stow away in an included UV sanitizer, which kills 99.9% of bacteria in seven minutes.

Is Cord Blood Donation Right for You?
The umbilical cord that once nourished your baby can be used to save the lives of others in desperate need of a transplant.
Just minutes after your baby is born, he or she can begin saving lives. How? The answer is remarkably simple—the umbilical cord that once nourished your baby can be used to treat others in desperate need of a transplant through cord blood.
Donating your baby's cord blood is safe and painless for you and your baby because the blood is collected after birth, once the umbilical cord is cut. If the cord blood meets certain requirements and isn't used for medical research, it will be placed on a registry where it can be accessed by transplant surgeons to treat a patient who needs a stem cell transplant and is deemed a good match with your baby's blood.
What is cord blood?
Cord blood is the blood found in the umbilical cord and in the placenta after a baby is born. Generally, the afterbirth is discarded as waste, but research shows what was once considered useless waste is invaluable in curing many diseases. This means that people facing illnesses such as leukemia, lymphoma, and certain types of tumors can be treated by a stem cell transplant.
According to Wayne Borcherding, lab manager at the University of Wisconsin, Madison Stem Cell Laboratory, stem cells are "more immature cells, and the cord blood is very rich in early stem cells." The stem cells are transplanted into the recipient intravenously (through an IV). "The biggest reason that cord blood donation is so important is that it does not mean an invasive procedure [for mother, baby, or patient]," says Borcherding.
In some cases, the use of stem cells found in cord blood is taking the place of painful and time-consuming bone marrow transplants.
Who will take my donation?
The decision to donate the cord blood should be made by the 34th week of pregnancy to give enough notice to the cord blood banks through the doctor. Once a donation site is found, the mother will fill out a health history questionnaire and give a small sample of blood. Doctors will then search the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) for a patient needing a transplant. Once a patient is found, the cord blood will be transplanted into the patient matching the blood type after the baby is born.
How much does it cost?
There is no cost to donate cord blood. Donor banks take care of the procedure in covering the cost of storing the cord blood; however, some parents wish to have the option of storing the cord blood for their personal family use and will pay a fee for storage. Information about banks that will hold cord blood for private family usage can be found at www.parentsguidecordblood.com. When considering cord blood donation, be sure you understand the difference between donating the cord blood to others in need and storing it for your family's use.
Who can donate?
To donate cord blood, the pregnant woman needs to sign a consent form before the birth giving permission to collect the cord blood. Without her signature, the cord blood cannot be saved. Women with cancer, insulin-dependent diabetes, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, organ transplant recipients, and women with infectious diseases are generally not allowed to donate. The decision to donate the cord blood must be made before the birth since the blood is obtained moments after delivery.

WAUSAU, WI (WTAQ) - Lots of folks have already started their Memorial Day weekends -- much to the surprise of state troopers who dealt with a major traffic backup near Wausau Thursday.
Construction crews were placing an anti-slip coating on the Interstate 39 Wisconsin River bridge near the Rothschild exit. And with traffic down to one lane on the freeway, boats and campers heading to the Northwoods were among the vehicles stopped dead in their tracks.
State trooper Travis Wanless said the congestion got so dangerous, northbound access was closed for a time near Rothschild's Cedar Creek mall area. After a long winter, Wanless figured that lots of people were anxious to start their long holiday weekends early.
The DOT says most activity in work zones will end at noon Friday -- standard procedure for holiday weekends -- and the work will resume early Tuesday.
Before Thursday's backup, the DOT expected the busiest periods to be between noon and 8 both Friday and Monday. The agency issued special warnings about possible backups on Highway 41 in the Green Bay area, and I-43 in Ozaukee County.
Wisconsin had five traffic deaths last Memorial Day Weekend. They hope to keep those numbers down this year, partially with more enforcement of seat belt laws in the annual "Click It or Ticket" campaign.
DOT officials say rear-end crashes are more common during the holidays, due to distracted driving and speeding.

Hundreds of dogs are euthanized every year at a Lee County animal shelter to make room for more stray animals.
Just two weeks ago, Lee County Domestic Animal Services asked for the public's help as they hit capacity.
The NBC-2 Investigators found out the policy for making more space singles out a certain breed.
It doesn't necessarily matter how long a dog has been in the shelter before it ends up on doggie death row. When space is needed in Lee County, pit bulls are almost always the first to go.
"It's definitely a stereotype of pit bulls being that they think it's a dangerous breed," pit bull owner Amy Sica said. "If I can save one pit bull from getting killed in shelters or on the street, at least that's one pit bull I save."
Pit bull owner and advocate Amy Sica has taken in several pits. Most, she says, are taken from shelters as they run out of space.
"That's a reality check to people who own the dogs in the first place. Do not let them end up in the shelter because, it's a death sentence," Sica said.
By the number of pit bulls ready for adoption at Lee County Domestic Animal Services shelter, we know that's not always true; but spokesperson Ria Brown admits when kennels fill up, pit bulls are the first to go.
"We never want to euthanize an animal, but that's a reality here. It's not so much that we deem them un-adoptable, it's that the public doesn't choose them for adoption and we have more of them than we have other breeds," Brown said.
Animal Control Officers collected 6400 dogs in Lee County last year; more than 1800 were pit bulls. A third of those dogs were killed to make space.
"Last year, in 2011, we euthanized over 600 pit bulls for space, whereas we didn't euthanize any other breeds for space," Brown said.
Tack on another 138 pits put down this year to date; no other breeds have been euthanized to make space in 2012.
"We don't think (it's fair), but that's the reality we're faced with," Brown said.
"It's just sad to hear that they say they're undesirable," Sica said.
Sica intends to continue to take in as many rescue dogs she and her family can care for, giving a breed she says has a bad rap a second chance.
"I understand that they get full, and that's their policy that they have to get these dogs out, but it's not just the pit bulls they should be isolating," Sica said.

Information about the shelter's "For Pit's Sake" Program is also available on the website, http://www.leelostpets.com/Pages/For%20Pit%20Sake%20Program.aspx. The "Services" tab at the top of the home page has a drop down menu. Just select "For Pit Sake."
