Ankle injury not expected to hinder Chris Johnson
Ankle injury could keep Robert Woods out in Week 3
Woods followed a fine season opener in which he caught four passes for 78 yards with a one-catch performance against Miami in Week 2.
Fantasy Analysis | 1411064591
Dennis Pitta a solid Week 3 start
Don't panic about Pitta. He had 10 catches for 83 yards in Week 1 against the Bengals and he should remain a significant contributor most weeks, including here.
The Browns were just beat up by Jimmy Graham in Week 2 at home, which happens to most teams, and Graham had 10 catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns as Cleveland tried to limit the Saints from throwing downfield.
If the Browns do that against the Ravens this week then count on Pitta having a big game.

Walker has 13 catches for 179 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets and he should remain a starter in all leagues. The Bengals struggled in Week 1 against the Ravens when Dennis Pitta and Owen Daniels combined for 14 catches for 117 yards, which bodes well for Walker.

Brandon Watts returns to action for Vikings
Lamar Miller practices again Thursday
Miller has been solid in 2014 with 105 yards in 22 carries for 4.8 YPC.
Jerrell Freeman still has shot at Sunday action
Freeman contributed seven tackles and one forced fumble in Week 1, but did not play Monday night against Philadelphia.
Eric Decker still a non-participant in practice Thursday
A hamstring ailment had
His status remains up in the air for the Monday night game against Chicago. The team still has practices scheduled for Friday and Saturday.
Report: Jerome Simpson in trouble with the law again
Simpson was charged on July 7 for marijuana possession, open bottle and violating a limited drivers license, according to ESPN. The team has not commented. He is serving his current suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy after a drunken-driving arrest last season.
Rolando McClain's status for Week 3 remains TBD
"We certainly have confidence in his ability to play, but we believe in practice," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said, per The Dallas Morning News. "He has to practice this week in some way, shape or form for us to believe that he can play in the game, so hopefully as the week goes on, he's able to do get out there and get some snaps."
The task of replacing
The truth is that Asiata isn't exactly a slug. He's a good pass protector and receiver and can be functional as the
The other back who figures to be involved in the Vikings run game is
I have Peterson in a few leagues. My first move is to get Asiata either off waivers or via trade. The price tag for Asiata shouldn't be much right now but I'd pony up a decent player in exchange for him since we don't know how long the Vikings will need him as their main back. McKinnon isn't considered as vital and is unlikely at this point to be a major player for Minnesota.
Asiata is also a must-add even if you don't have Peterson. That's because he'll be the Vikings starter on Sunday and could stay in that role for a while. What's happening with Adrian Peterson off the field is irrelevant to Fantasy owners. What matters to us is that he's not going to play in Week 2, and judging how swiftly the Vikings made their decision to deactivate him on Friday, there's no guarantee he'll be back in action for Week 3, either. There's a lot to be uncertain about.

Eagles TE
You know the saying. One man's trash is another man's Zac Stacy.
Of course not every free agent flier is that successful, but there's a lesson to be learned about playing the Waiver Wire: Sometimes it pays to go against the grain, and sometimes it hurts really bad when you overreact.
Let's preface this post by saying that as recent as last season, Week 1 hasn't been kind to rookie running backs. Eddie Lacy only averaged 2.93 yards per carry in Week 1 of 2013. Giovani Bernard got just four carries, and the aforementioned Stacy only received one. But it's safe to say anyone who dropped one of those three after Week 1 ended up regretting it. With that said, let's look at which rookie runners got dropped after a slow start this season.
The rookie running back pile
First-year Falcon Devonta Freeman headlines this group, as one of CBSSports.com's most dropped players (down eight percent to 70-percent owned). I don't blame anyone for doing so. That Atlanta backfield looks deep and useful for winning football games, which makes for an awful Fantasy situation. Atlanta used four backs in its win over New Orleans, and Freeman only totalled four touches on the day.
Those that dropped him probably did it to pick up someone that fills an immediate need. Freeman looks like the kind of tough, physical runner who would benefit from a possible (perhaps eventual)

Last week we gave you six FanDuel bargains for Week 1. These were players you could get cheaply so you could fill the rest of your lineup with stars. Here's how we fared with our picks and the Week 2 outlook for each:
Get ready for a mess.
In a review of the Ravens' Week 1 game vs. the Bengals, the team used a definite rotation between
Pierce looked fine as a physical between-the-tackles runner despite his pre-fumble rushing average. Nothing spectacular but certainly a physical back willing to take on contact and fight for an extra yard. Then he was stripped of the football by
Forsett saw most of the work thereafter. He's also nothing spectacular but does have a proven track record of being a capable pass catcher (caught 97 passes for a modest 7.3 yard average over three seasons with the Seahawks). In this particular game he caught five passes but couldn't do much with it (14 yards). But because of the fumble by Pierce, he played 57 of 88 snaps and showed off enough dash as a running back with 70 yards on 11 carries.
The hunch here is that Pierce's first-ever fumble won't cost him a chance to work as the running-downs back for the Ravens. Not after they cut Ray Rice. We might expect to see him play in that run-downs role Thursday against the Steelerson CBS. Forsett should take over in passing downs and potentially the two-minute offense since he's adept enough at pass protection.
Fantasy owners shouldn't be thrilled with either guy because they'll swipe work away from each other. Pierce could score more, Forsett could catch more. It's a tag-team delight on par with the Raiders and Titans. Worse yet, Pierce's physical style contributed to his shoulder woes last season and he could be considered a slight injury risk. Forsett has also missed time over his career.
The wild card and potential long-term X-factor is the Ravens rookie,
The bottom line is that the Ravens have a bunch of guys who will take on specific roles and aren't guaranteed to come close to regular must-start Fantasy choices.
Pierce is unowned in 24 percent of CBSSports.com leagues. That number will look like 10-something by Wednesday because someone in every league will take him -- and rightfully so since he has the most appeal.
Forsett is unowned in 100 percent of CBSSports.com leagues. Those who had Rice on their rosters should make a bee-line for Forsett, if only as a short-term band-aid. Whether you have Pierce or not, use your first waiver claim. If you have FAAB dollars, spend around 30 percent of your budget if you don't have Pierce and maybe 15 percent if you do.
That's because smart Fantasy owners who don't have a horse in the Ravens backfield shouldn't race to waivers or spend big FAAB bucks on Forsett (Pierce is a different story). He's not a bad pickup but there might be some better choices such as
Taliaferro is worth keeping an eye on and potentially adding in leagues with very deep rosters (18-plus spots). The worse Pierce plays, the more likely Taliaferro will get an opportunity down the line. And for whatever it's worth, Taliaferro is the only back on the roster drafted by the current Ravens offensive brain trust. Also, Gary Kubiak has a good track record of making his run game work with unknowns (he unearthed Steve Slaton and
We're partial to Christian Olsen's team because he came on Fantasy Football Today last year and showed off his pigskin knowledge, but Aisha Tyler has some serious potential with the combination of
Further reports from Jay Glazer of FOX Sports -- and again from Jurecki -- suggest an injured muscle in his foot that could cost Ellington four to six weeks or longer. It's a dagger to the heart of those who took him with a top 40 pick.
He barely played as a rookie in 2010 and again in 2011, though he did shine on a 79-yard run to propel him to a 107-yard game in his second ever contest. Injuries pushed him into action in 2012 and he had another two games with over 100 yards but many, many more with less than 60. He barely played in 2013.
Just don't think of him as an amazing running back. He hasn't been that since entering the NFL.
Editor's note: FanDuel.com is hosting a one-week long $100,000 Fantasy Football contest for just Week 1. It's only $10 to join and first prize is $10,000. Starts Sunday, Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. ET. Enter now.
The good people at FanDuel posted NFL Week 1 contests a while ago. So much has happened since -- injuries, suspensions, cuts, depth-chart shakeups -- that you can find even more steals than usual.

Crash fixed
After hours of investigation during whole week-end we finally found the culprit : one website running Prestashop in production with a huge frequentation had enabled option "PS_SMARTY_FORCE_COMPILE" (since thurdsay 16PM). This option forces smarty to recompile templates on each request and made a huge consumption of CPU that lead to these repeated crashes.
We disabled this option this morning and since then server stopped crashing.
Now we would like to set a cpulimit to avoid this bug to come again. I've found this article :
but I don't really see how to enable it on my configuration any hint please ?
Thank you.

The Bully Project
As some of you may know, bullying has been a huge part of my life. I have decided to share part of my story with you hoping to bring some awareness to this awful epidemic. for me, bullying started at a very young age. I was constantly teased about my appearence. In elementary school it was comments about being too thin or about my acne. Once I entered middle school I got diagnosed with scoliosis. I had to wear a back brace for the next year. One of the boys in my class would push me into lockers, knowing it was a struggle for me to get up cause of my brace. He would punch me in the back where my brace didn't cover my skin. He called me awful names & carved slut into my desk. The school did nothing. They put tape over my desk & ignored the abuse, I even got blamed for half of it. He lied, said I had kicked him & pranked called him. Eventually the school caught on to his shit & he was expelled. My bullying didn't end there.
Entering high school I still didn't have a group of friends, I was always the outsider, I felt alone. Still getting teased for having bad skin killed me, I wanted to rip my face off. Once 10th grade started I returned to school with a mohawk. I should of known my strict uniform wearing Catholic school wouldn't approve, but I didn't really care at that point. Kids would write things on my locker about how I was a poser, a fake, a loser. They would yell at me in the halls. I got called a Nazi. I had no friends. After a month of this abuse I started ditching class & developed a stronger relationship with self harm. Once my parents caught on I was removed from the school & put into treatment for self harm, depression & anxiety. Once I finished treatment I was able to start at a new school. This school was more excepting but I still had a hard time fitting in. School was never my thing. Once I graduated I finally started to feel like I belong. I made real friends & was able to make a career out of my writing. I wanted to be open about my life so people could relate & know they are not alone. It took me a long time to be able to feel comfortable in my own skin. I have turned to drugs, alcohol, self harm & eating disorders, trying to cope with my pain. In the end, the only thing that could help me was myself. I am now sober & living a healthy life. Yes, I have my ups & downs, but don't we all? Bullying is always around us. I am 23 and I still get harrassed online. The internet has made bullying so easy. They can just hide behind their computer and never deal with consequences.

I think as people we should be able to control our own bodies.
This kind of faux concern about teenage girls and sexual activity has nothing to do with keeping girls safe. It's about legislating morality and ensuring that someone—whether it be a parent, husband, or the state—is making decisions for young women. Because god forbid we make them ourselves.

love love love I know that I'm repeating what the other reviews say, but the picture does NOT do this dress justice. I didn't even look twice at this dress online or in the catalogues but when the saleswoman pulled it for me to try on, I was stunned. I tried on others that were "flattering" but this one made me look THIN. It was a miracle. My dream dress! Wish I could wear it every day! March 3, 2011
The one! My mother and I went to David's on a whim and left with "the one." I tried on 5 dresses and absolutely fell in love with this one. The quality is excellent and it's VERY figure flattering... It's just perfect! The lady that helped us added a flower (that was actually a hairpiece) and it totally set it off. I can't wait to walk down the isle in this dress! March 1, 2011
Fabulous! I never looked twice at this dress on line, in the catalog or in the store and tried on a different chiffon dress that I loved but just wasn't sold on a because of a couple of details. I tried on several dresses and my consultant suggested I try this one on and it was fabulous. I am a very tall, plus size girl and the halter (that I NEVER wear) lays nicely so there is no arm fat hanging over and the back is nice so there is no back fat. I wanted a little "bling" on it and am having a piece of jeweled lace sewn on the band under the bust to glam it up a little. I love the skirt and it is very comfortable, will not be hot, will be easy to wear all day and dance into the night. I read tons of reviews on several dresses and if I could say anything, it would be try it on. On the hanger and pictures do not do this dress justice. You will know if you love it. February 28, 2011
"the one" I went to David's Bridal having heard a mix of reviews from my friends and family. I was just going to actually try on some dresses in my size. My mom and grandma actually picked this dress out of the catalog and I thought it was ok looking so I asked the consultant if she had it in stock in my size. She actually found it in my exact size and it fit perfectly!! When I walked out of the dressing room and my mom and grandma were in tears I knew it was the one. Then when I looked at myself in the mirror it was all confirmed, this was "the one". I danced around the store for about an hour looking at shoes and jewelry and anything else I could do to keep this dress on. It is perfect! February 22, 2011

Actor Jaideep Ahlawat, who will soon be seen in Kamal Haasan's bilingual "Vishwaroop", is unsure why his character is being kept under wraps in the promos.
"There are two negative characters in the film, Rahul Bose and me. One is like the thinking part and the other is the execution part. So, it's not that something has been kept hidden. I think sir (Kamal Haasan) is very interested in looks, we have a few different looks in the film.
I don't know whether he has kept me hidden deliberately or not. He can tell that better," Jaideep told reporters at an event.
Produced and directed by Kamal Haasan, the film is made in two languages - "Vishwaroop" is the Hindi version, while Tamil one is called "Vishwaroopam".
The film also stars Pooja Kumar, Andrea Jeremiah, Rahul Bose and Shekhar Kapur.
The Hindi version was to hit theatres Jan 11 but due to the ongoing tussle with the theatre owners over the DTH release of the film on Jan 10, the theatre release date has been postponed and the new date is yet to be announced.
Ahlawat played Shahid Khan in Anurag Kashyap's "Gangs of Wasseypur" and asserts that his role was short, but tough.
"Shahid Khan was one of the difficult characters to play because in comparison to the length of the film, the character was small. I feel when the character is small, then it demands a lot of hard work," he said.

Csima, Canada earn Olympic silver
Oakville's Doug Csima and Canada's men's eights surged past Great Britain in the final 250m to win a silver medal at the Olympics Wednesday.
Canada's men's eights celebrate after crossing the finish line to win the silver medal Wednesday.
When Canada won the gold medal in the men's eights in 2008, Doug Csima was watching from Beacon Hill Villa, a residential care facility in Victoria, B.C. where he works as a nurse.
It had been five years since he started rowing and, in fact, it was the opportunity to train with the national team that had lured the Oakville native to Victoria. Having trained alongside the men who were standing on the podium, he could fully appreciate what it took for them to achieve their goal — the hours of repetitious practice, the time away from family.
"It was amazing what they put into it," he said.
But just five hours after helping propel Canada across the Olympic finish line to earn a silver medal, Csima was still trying to come to grips with the fact that it was now himself standing on the podium.
"It's just so hard to believe," he said. "I was looking at the grandstand and I kept looking at the London 2012 logo and the (Olympic) rings. I had to keep reminding myself that, yeah, I'm at the Olympics and I'm standing on the podium with a medal."
Never mind what he and his teammates had overcome in the last four years, they had fight through the doubts that had surfaced in the last four days.
Due to its past success, Canada's men's eights have become the country's highest profile summer Olympic team. Since 1984, no sport has produced more gold medals (seven) or total medals (23) for Canada than rowing. And the men's eights is Canada's most decorated crew. It's not quite hockey in the winter Olympics, but there are heightened expections for the eights — witness Canada's fifth-place finish in Athens that was viewed as a huge disappointment coming off back-to-back world championship victories.
Even with six first-time Olympians in this year's eights, there were hopes for a medal. Csima had been a member of the crews that had won bronze at the 2011 world championships and a silver in 2009 as well as the Olympic crew that set a world record in the heats at a World Cup earlier this year.
But matched against a powerhouse German crew that has gone undefeated since 2009, Canada had a disasterous outing in the heats as the Olympic competition got underway Saturday. It finished fourth — last by nine seconds — behind Germany, Great Britain and the Netherlands.
"I'd be lying if I said we weren't nervous after the heats. There was huge anxiety," the Iroquois Ridge grad said. "We got a little too excited. We wanted to show the Germans how fast we were and put a stamp on the regatta. We went off a little fast, and with only two guys back (from the last Olympics), we showed our inexperience. We were a little shell shocked."
With a day off between the heats and Monday's repechage, the crew worked on its change of pace, finding a sustainable stroke rate and rebuilding its confidence. They came out looking like an entirely different crew, finishing second less than six-tenths of a second behind Great Britain to secure their place in Wednesday's final. It turned out to be exactly the kind of race the Canadians needed.
"We knew the Brits were a fast crew," Csima said of the silver medalists from the last two world championships. "They've been pushing the Germans so we knew that if we were close to the Brits, we had a chance to get on the podium."
Canada was third throughout the race and was still a second back of Great Britain as they hit three-quarter mark on the 2,000-metre course. Over the final 250 metres, Canada surged past the British crew, which wasn't able to meet their challenge, finishing 1.2 seconds behind the Canadians while Germany took the gold.
As they crossed the line, an exhausted Csima fell back into the lap of teammate Gabriel Bergen.
"It's pretty hard to describe," Csima said of the finish. "It was just a huge weight taken off our shoulders. I feel so good for the guys and how we all came together. And now we have a silver medal to share with our family and our friends who have given us so much support."
And Csima was certainly in the mood to share.
"It's definitely been working its way around," he said of the medal. "A couple of times I've had to ask, 'Have you seen my medal?'"
Csima will have a lifetime to have a closer look at it, but even though it had only been hours since it was first hung around his neck, he already likes what he sees.
"This medal is big and it's heavy, but that's great," he said. "It reflects the work that it took to get it."

These are just a few of the features that our simple conference call service provides. Check out some of the other cool features offered or give ConferTel a call and we can provide you with more details.]]>
1. People simply not showing up.
It takes time to coordinate everyone's schedules to get the conference call date and time set ~ and then you have people you are counting on not show up, that can be very frustrating.
The Solution: Double-check the international connections and time zones and make sure to send a reminder the day before your call. I always like to also send a reminder 1 hour before the call.
2. Echo, static and/or feedback on the conference call.
A conference call with bad audio is more than just annoying, it leads to participants not fully engaging because they can't hear all of the conversation and important ideas are not fully explored because comments cannot be heard. Most of this can be resolved quickly.
The Solution: Is anyone using a speakerphone? Speakerphones are one of the biggest culprits when it comes to echo. If you are using a speakerphone try turning the volume down to help with some of the interference. Or pick up the handset instead of using the speakerphone. Only use one phone line per room. When you have multiple parties in the same room connecting into the same conference it can create an echo on the line. Land-line is always better to use than cell phone if possible.
Echo Tip Bonus: Log into your ConferTel account and view your live call via the Call Hub, then you can mute all lines and open up each one at a time to find the culprit. This is a very quick and easy fix, if all else fails, dial 0# to speak to a customer care operator.
3. Background noise and disturbances.
Sensitive telecommunication equipment picks up almost everything – typing, rustling papers, and other surrounding sounds.
The Solution: When participating in a conference call, choose a quiet place – and mute your line if you are not speaking. Just make sure you don't have music-on-hold otherwise it will lead to another type of problem. Most all conference services offer a self mute option, ConferTel's is 4#.
4. Music is playing into the conference.
Oops, someone has put their phone on hold and they have music-on-hold playing into the conference putting your conference call on a screeching halt.
The Solution: Log into your account and view the live call via Call Hub (available with every ConferTel teleconferencing account). You can then mute all lines and then unmute each line one at a time until you hear the music again. You can also turn on Active Talker within the Call Hub and see which line has activity. Also make sure to tell everyone they can self mute themselves using the conference bridge by pressing 4#.
These are some of the most common issues we have heard when it comes to conference calls. They are easily remedied so that you can have a crystal clear call. And don't forget if you ever run into any issues you can always opt out for a ConferTel operator to assist by pressing 0#.]]>
The email invitation is obviously very critical to maximizing webinar attendance. The headline needs be attention grabbing, even bordering on controversial.
Next, make sure to spell out WIIFM (and no, that's not a radio station). Before they sign up your prospective audience is asking themselves: "What's in It For Me?" – and you have about 10 seconds to answer that question in a compelling way. Tell them specifically who should attend and what benefit they'll get from it.
Tell them what they're going to learn is either going to make them money or save them money – or make them better in some measurable way. If you can translate what they will learn into a potential dollar value – even better. You need to hit an emotional chord…and you need to create urgency.
As far as format is concerned – you want to do it with bullets and limited images – not boring paragraphs of text. Including a picture of the speaker makes the webinar seem more real. And make sure you spell out the call to action, if you want them to register put a Register Now button at the top, middle and end of the invitation.
Don't forget about time zones, remember when planning your webinar set the time that is appropriate and convenient for your anticipated audience.
The invitation is a critical piece. Spend time on it, get input from others, and get it right.]]>
And finally, there are a number of web sites with online calendars that allow you to post and promote your webinars for free. They include:
Google them – there may be more by now.]]>
The number and importance of webinars and webinar listings has surged in the past few years. The many reasons for this include: the greatly reduced costs of development, attending, travel (which is usually eliminated) and overhead. It's much easier for people to attend a webinar when all they need to do is make a few clicks on a computer versus the high cost of travel and lost time.
Numerous studies depict the importance and effectiveness of webinars. A recent Marketing Sherpa study showed that the second-most effective social marketing tool after website design (including management and optimization) was virtual events and webinars. (I will illustrate this point more extensively in an upcoming free webinar that I am developing and expect to announce next week.)
The numbers show that web events are effective. The question is why.
The simple answer is that they allow a presenter to reach a huge worldwide audience in which people can attend a web event from almost any location. I have attended both virtual events and webinars with people from all over the world. (Time zones can be a problem as one attendee complained that the class he was taking met at 3:00AM, his time.)
Webinars in particular, must be effective or people wouldn't attend them or would quickly leave – the bane of most webinar presenters. The level of webinar effectiveness can vary enormously depending on the presentation, the content and the presenter. It is truly amazing how much even just the pace of a presentation can affect its success.
One expert closer, Dave VanHoose, whose accolades include America's Trainer of the Year in 2011 and Platform Closer of the Year, charges $15,000 per day to help clients improve their presentations. There is a science involving webinar presentations that when properly implemented can produce significantly improved results. Incidentally, he also strongly advocates the use of a mirror when doing any online presentation.
Another reason for web event effectiveness is their ability to target a specific topic. People who attend the webinar are usually highly focused on its specific content – and they won't tolerate any deviations or surprises. By identifying their objectives, webinar providers can better allow their potential audience to decide whether or not to attend; they don't have as much at stake as someone attending an in-person seminar.
One final aspect about webinars: they are live (or at least they appear live to their audience). Webinar attendees believe they are a part of a massive group; they know there could be a lot of other people attending but they can't see them. Yet, their reactions are usually as a group and not as an individual. Suppose a webinar is offering a limited service that is very attractive, for example. Every attendee is aware of the offer and that potentially many other attendees may also find the offer attractive. Since they have no way of judging the number or interest of the other attendees for the offer, they are more prone to immediately make the purchase. By its very nature, the webinar has provided a strong call to action for its attendees to obtain the service now, before the other audience members (i.e. potential competitors) take a similar action.
The effectiveness of web events along with their costs are the key reason why companies are increasingly including web events in their marketing plans and beginning to place additional emphasis on their presentations.

Second – Tell your audience what they are going to learn, then deliver your information in the same order, at the end, summarize what they have just learned.
Third – Over 45 minutes to an hour, people's attention tends to drift. You need to find ways to repeatedly capture the audience's attention by:
Fourth – Make sure you follow-up quickly after the event on any promises you made. If you said you would be sending something additional (even if it just a copy of your presentation) – do it that day.
And most importantly – There is no substitute for rehearsal time. If you don't recite your entire presentation out loud, you can't check your timing. You have to deliver the full presentation before the audience hears it, otherwise you'll end up fumbling during transitions and looking unprofessional in front of your audience – which pretty much defeats the whole purpose of the webinar right?]]>
There is seldom a valid, technical reason for a late start. And it is unfair to accommodate tardy arrivals at the expense of those who are prompt. As for the introduction, a lengthy celebration of the speaker's career belongs in the promotional material, not the presentation. And finally, the historical background of the topic should be covered concisely, and only if it is truly relevant.
Webinars cost money, even when offered for free. Time is money. In addition to time, many webinars cost a significant amount of cash. Then the financial hit is a double whammy for listeners. So we can't blame them when they are harsh critics if they feel there has been insufficient return on their investment.
Ken Molay, of the WebinarBlog.com, recently posted "Just Start Already" in protest of use of the phrase "before we get started". Ken urges speakers to "skip the introduction and get to the information". As he correctly points out, "Your audience knows why they are present. They didn't just happen to be scanning the radio dial and trip across your webinar by accident." (http://wsuccess.typepad.com/webinarblog , Sept 2011).
Webinar registrations often represent multiple listeners. One connection can actually be two to three people together in an office, or an even larger gathering in a conference room. Whether those listeners are groups of professionals or lone individuals, they don't appreciate their time being wasted. They will undoubtedly be evaluating the benefit versus the cost.
Speakers need to live up to the expectations that were set when promoting their webinar. If presenters are worried that they don't have enough useful material, they should consider scheduling a shorter webinar, or doing more research. Filler certainly isn't needed; however, it is easily recognized.]]>
What you're looking for in Recording and Replay functionality is:
In addition to the telephone, the Audio file can be listened to on any MP3 player, including iPhones – or directly from your computer using iTunes, RealPlayer or Windows Media Player.
You can even save your recording to a CD for a permanent archive.]]>
Using the name announcement feature, where the system announces who has joined the call, can be really useful – but only for small calls. With a large number of participants, some will come late, some will potentially leave early, and you don't want their names being announced and interrupting the call for everyone else.
Many conferencing platforms have an online viewing feature which allows you to see who is on the call while its in progress. This avoids the name announcement issues for larger groups.
This online viewing feature should also give you the ability to mute or even terminate a participant. The muting feature is particularly useful when you have a lot of participants. There is nothing worse than background noise or 'music on hold' playing into the conference. The ability to mute and unmute is usually also available on the phone keypad of the moderator.
Now not all of these features are available from all providers – so do your homework and make sure to pick one that will accommodate your needs.]]>
A great way to ensure people show up is to send them an auto reminder. An email that is automatically sent from the conferencing platform 15 – 30 minutes before the call start time.
For those that don't show up when they're supposed to, you can dial-out from the conference bridge on a separate line and bring them into conference. This actually works well for international participants that would prefer not to pay their own long distance for the call – some of those long distance rates in foreign countries can be brutal.
Another interesting feature is having the bridge automatically dial-out from an attendee list that you created when you scheduled the call. This feature is even more effective than the reminder email …for the chronically unreliable.
Now not all of these features are available from all providers – so you may need to check with whoever you're using for your teleconferencing service.]]>

This has been my hobby for over seven years, started long before I discovered any websites for posting them.
I find myself concentrating on the older, broken, unreadable tombstones, the ones that, because of layers of mold, lichen and grime, are so obscure that people tend to walk right past them. I get more satisfaction uncovering a lost individual's stone than I do photographing huge monuments that will be around for a thousand years and those more modern ones of the men whose bones have partially disintegrated while still clothed in the everlasting polyester suits that they were buried in!

Thank you for the photo.
As you know, there are two cemeteries named St. Johns, with an address of Bellevue. One is north of Bellevue near St. Donatus, and one is south of Bellevue adjacent to the Presbyterian Cemetery. I was down in Iowa and visited both cemeteries this summer.
A while back, the two cemeteries were merged on findagrave.com. What a mess! I don't know if anyone has requested that the merge be undone.

Through thick and thin
After extensive testing, oil manufacturers have said that CJ-4 oils can reduce wear on engine parts and protect against high operating temperatures, both of which can allow operators to increase drain intervals. Performing regular oil sampling will provide important information about wear rates.
Like most long-haul operators, Evans uses 15W40. He ensures reliable cold starts with an engine block heater and oil pan heater that are wired together. "When it gets down below zero, like in Wyoming, I start the heater," he says. "The oil pan is insulated and holds enough heat so it's not a complete cold start."
Despite his success with 15W40 and his truck's equipment, Evans says he would choose a synthetic oil with a low viscosity, such as 5W40, for his next truck "to give me that much more protection. I won't do it with this truck until I rebuild the engine."

When it was originally unveiled at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (England, not Ontario), the "David Bowie Is" exhibition shattered attendance records, selling over 42,000 advance tickets. Now that the show has come to Toronto, it's easy to see why it was so successful. Composed of over 300 objects from David Bowie's personal archive, spanning his entire career, the exhibit is arranged and presented as a completely immersive experience, enveloping visitors in a kaleidoscopic visual and aural landscape that would be overwhelming if it weren't so brilliantly arranged and intelligently guided.

The NFC South either is the picture of parity the NFL tries to maintain with its salary cap structure or a weak division that has lacked a dominant team since its creation in the leagues 2002 realignment.
With Carolina and New Orleans vying for first place, the NFC South again will have a new champion this season. The division has never had a repeat champion.
Its a good division. Its up and down. One year it could be somebody, and one year it could be somebody else, Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson said. We bump heads a lot. I guess that kind of hurts us a lot because we bump heads so much.
All of the other seven divisions have had repeat winners, including five divisions that have had multiple teams repeat as champs.
A win against Atlanta would secure first place for the Panthers and give each of the four NFC South teams three division crowns. That history is in sharp contrast to the AFC East, where the Patriots have won 10 titles, and the AFC South, which the Colts have won eight times.
Rivera said the NFC South is competitive, but doesnt get the respect it deserves because there hasnt been a dominant team.
We all have what we believe is our franchise quarterback. I know Tampa feels very good about (Mike) Glennon, Rivera said. Each team has an attacking-style defense. Theyve got play-makers at wide receiver and running back, and tight ends that can make plays.
So this is going to be a tough division I think for a long time. Hopefully we can continue to compete against each other and people start talking about us being one of the better divisions in the NFL.

So, I'm Lakota Sioux. And for a while I wanted to learn really badly.
What I did was google "learn Lakota language." And I got all sorts of useful results. There were pages with useful phrases/words. There were pages on how to address other people. There were even a few tapes and books on Amazon on how to speak Lakota.
There is also this school called St. Joseph's Indian School in South Dakota. I donate to them once a month because they're a poor school for Indian children. They have a website with a bunch of information. And I bet if you called them, they might even offer a class over the internet or something. It never hurts to ask. You could donate a couple bucks while you're on there, too. They'll send you cool stuff in the mail for every donation as incentive. Like return address stickers and tote bags and ornaments and stuff. They also include handwritten thank-you letters from kids at the school. It's for a great cause.

#Lakota grandmothers are rejected as foster parents by#SouthDakota for being too old, rumors, having too small of a house, decades old crimes, too poor, the list goes on.
Then, the children go to non-Native, private, foster group homes and psychiatric institutions. The answer is tribal foster care programs, with unbiased foster standards.

ricebloom said: But it's not because of the Native American. People sometimes ask me if I use "Indians" as my inspiration, and I always say no. I've never thought about it, I've been only wearing these things because I find them pretty and never associated them with any sort of culture, I never tried to be Native American. But lately I realized that maybe with my style, I am offending somebody's culture. My question is: what do you think of that? Of having that sort of style without even knowing?
I think that you are showing signs of being unknowingly racist. It's not your fault, don't worry. We live in a racist world.
I once read a list of 21 common racist behaviors and number one is what I believe you are experiencing. It is the attitude that "I don't associate this with a certain race or culture. I don't see people as their race. I see us all as equals." Which is essentially denying anyone who is non-white of their experiences as a minority. You are denying that having feathers in your hair is a culturally native american icon. You are denying the heritage of the moccasins on your feet. You are actually stripping native americans of their culture by claiming it as your own, quirky "style."
The fact of the matter is, if our ancestry wasn't dehumanized to the point of being a "style," if our culture wasn't stolen from us by the Europeans when they entered our country, white people wouldn't have access to moccasins or regalia or anything that can be identified as culturally american indian. If our culture wasn't so objectified, you wouldn't even know what moccasins are.
My advice isn't to stop dressing the way you do. It is to recognize the things you are dressing yourself with BELONG to a certain heritage, a certain group of people that you are not affiliated with. Recognize that this could be categorized as racist behavior and instead of arguing that you are not being offensive because the intent isn't there, realize that you ARE being offensive, regardless of intent, and accept that. Sit down and say to yourself "My name is ____ and this is a racist behavior that I exhibit. I am not a bad person because of this, but I understand that some people may be offended by it. I respect them for their experiences and realize that I will never know what it's like to be them."
ricebloom said: Hello, I have a slightly complicated question for you. I see that you are strongly against using the Native American culture as a trend. I understand it, I really do. However, my "problem" is: this is my style. As long as I can remember, I've been loving using feathers and beads as accessories, boots and dresses, I've been dyeing my hair blackish for quite a while, etc. (to be continued in next question)
babette16-deactivated20140331 said: Hey! Im not native at all, I'm from Europe, and I just saw your opinion about native american wannabes. Do you think I am one, if I'm in love with their cultures, the stories about them, I just can't get off my eyes of indian pictures and symbols, and I try to be a little like them (in clothing, and in my inner features)? I mean, since when I was about 10, and now I'm 17 and I'm more and more into them! What's your opinion?
I think you need to read this article about yellowface and blackface.
It's wrong to dehumanize or claim a culture that isn't yours. As an American Indian, it's really offensive when white people wear headdresses or put feathers in their hair. It's even worse when white teenagers buy moccasins or fringe bags from places like American Eagle or Urban Outfitters. Because those places claim legitimacy and authenticity in their products, but are really cheaply made bag and moccasin look-a-likes. I mean, do you even know why indians put fringe on their shoes? If you want to respect the culture, go to a pow wow. Donate to indian schools. Don't try to be like one of us because you aren't. Embrace your own culture and let us embrace and celebrate ours. We've earned it.
And for the love of god, do not get a tribal tattoo.

Crossbreed came in mail today.
I got my first decent holster today and it is a crossbreed supertuck for my 1911. I wore it around a little bit and I am very impressed with it so far. Feels much more natural to carry then those cheap nylon holsters I will lwt you know how i feel after a full day of carry.. Anybody got any tricks they use for carrying 5 inch 1911?
If you want to laugh at somebody, try laughing at the sheep out there who go to the mall unarmed trusting in me to stand guiard over their lives like a God-Gecko45

But congrats on finding a holster you like. I've never tried a hybrid holster, always went full leather even for my polymer guns.

With a big gun like a 1911, more forward cant, meaning the muzzle gets pointed farther back and the grip rotates up closer to vertical, will usually help.
Lots of guys like to have those adjustable holsters ride as low as possible. That never makes sense to me, especially with a 5" 1911 as you may find the muzzle bottoming out when you sit. I prefer to have the gun ride a little higher. It doesn't hurt concealment, there is less chance of smacking the muzzle when you sit, and it makes the grip more accessible for an easy draw.
Edit to add: Lots of guys want to wear those hybrids at 3:00. They really are designed for aft of the hip, in the 3:30 to 4:00 position. Wearing right on the hip at 3:00 can make it difficult to draw from, especially if you are thin. A heavy guy may have enough flat space on his side at 3:00 to where it may work fine.

I didn't really like Croosbreed's holster design. After much consideration and research White hat was the company I went with. Similar hybrid design to Crossbreed, but a superior product in my opinion.
Tips for a 1911? A great belt and carry often. The more you carry something, the more comfortable it gets, especially with leather holsters.

Pay close attention when the others have said to buy a good belt. This is advice worth heeding. The sky is the limit depending on your budget, but the best I have found for high function at low cost is the Wilderness Instructor belt. Get the 5-stitch model, no need for the stiffening insert unless you're carrying a full game rig with lots and lots of reloads.
Carry behind the point of your hip. It's not perfect, but there is no perfect way to carry a two pound piece of steel attached to your waist. Behind the point of your hip (3:30 position) is the best of all possible imperfect ways to carry a handgun. Any other position should be viewed as a situation specific compromise.
Carry a reload. Not only because magazines are the foremost cause of malfunctions, but because of your comfort. Even one reload helps balance the load on your hips. I carry two when i can conceal it, for this reason. The odds of actually needing two reloads is infinitely small. Comfort, however, is a daily thing.
Be honest about your wardrobe. Not everything in your closet will enable you to conceal a handgun. Not everything will enable you to conceal with a particular holster. I prefer OWB carry, but carry IWB when cover garments will not allow the slightly more comfortable OWB holster. A full length mirror is helpful. A second set of eyes even more so, until you get the feel of concealing well.
Be aware of how you move. Certain movements will alter the fit of your clothing, as well as the position of your handgun relative to your body. It's called "printing". It means someone can see the outline of your pistol, usually the grip frame, through your clothing.
Speaking of printing, shirts with patterns, especially darker colors, work very well to conceal a handgun. The darker the color of the shirt, the less important a pattern becomes. The lighter the color of the shirt, the more important the pattern is. It draws the eye away from a specific point (your gun) and tells the eye to "Oh look! A pattern! Let's try to see it all at once!"
Depending on your shape and the fit of your pants, consider the inexpensive Perry Suspenders. I think they are made by Dicky. Elastic, but strong enough to spread the load across both your waist and shoulders. I tried them once several years ago and now wear them daily.
I wish I believed in reincarnation. Where's Charles Martel when you need him?
yes, I play the bagpipes. No, I don't wear a skirt. It's called a kilt.

Just shortly after Edward left in New Moon, Bella ends up pregnant with his daughter. She starts freaking out wondering how to tell Charlie when Jacob comes over; he already went through the transformation before Edward left. He freaks when Bella tells him and goes and tells Charlie about everything about the Cullens and the myths there in Forks just as Victoria is about attack Bella. Charlie lets himself get bitten instead of Bella shortly after Jake ran off. Bella sits with him for three days. After months have gone by, Bella gave birth to her daughter. Charlie has gained control of his thirst. Bella though everything was going perfectly fine until someone from her past, who was supposed to be dead comes back to Forks. That person is James. James ends up kidnapping for a few weeks, but over the last few months she has gotten some training with Charlie how to defend herself. She manages to chain him and she ends up pregnant again. As she gets home, she gets an invitation in the mail; she got invited to Edward's and Tanya's wedding. She's still human.

Alice sighed."I thought we did that last year. What game is he playing? This is something more then he wanting his child."
Bella sighed and sat in a rocking chair. Three weeks has gone by and Bella was rubbing her stomach which had grown at a rapid pace. She looked at Carlisle as he walked into the bedroom.
Carlisle places a couple of fingers on her wrist."He went hunting again."
Jasper-"Maybe he wants Bella...he wants to be with her."
Emmett-"Why? He kills humans, he doesn't go goo gaga over them." I noticed Edward staring at me. "Sorry...I didn't mean it that way."
Edward-"Doesn't matter anyways."
Alice frowned and looked at him."Of course it matters Edward. Why would you say something like that? Its been three weeks. We'll fine her."
Edward-"I'm talking about what he said. I know it matters to me to find her..."
Emmett-"What should we do now?"
Jasper-"Maybe they went to another state...they probably flew."
Bella frowned when she saw a phone on the dresser. She grabbed it and dialed Alice's number. She looked at Carlisle and relaxed a bit.
Alice grabbed her phone once it started ringing."Who is this?"She asked.
Edward-I looked up at Alice, wondering who it was
Jasper-I looked at Alice as well, thinking it was James calling her
Bella frowned and felt the baby coming. She let out a scream before talking into the phone."Alice, its Bella.Ow!" She bent over a bit.
Carlisle rubbed her stomach and helped her lean back.
Alice held the phone away from the ear."Bella, why the hell did you say ow?"
Edward-My eyes widened and even though It was rude, I snatched the phone away from Alice. "Bella...where are you? Are you okay? Did he hurt you??"
Jasper-I looked at Alice then Edward
Alice raised an eyebrow at Edward."Well rude."
Bella whined."No! I'm fine, just going into labor here. Ow! She whinced a bit."Rio!" She dropped the phone ending the call and screaming in pain.
Carlisle placed a hand on her stomach."Relax Bella."
Edward-"There in Rio. We have to go find them now. She's in labor." I said and took off.
Jasper-"Come on!" I said following
Esme-I followed
Emmett-I put Rose on my back and took off
Bella screamed again and felt the ripping again."Get her out!"
Carlisle sighed and placed a wash cloth on her head."You need to relax Bella. I'm doing the best I can." He grabbed the scalpel and cut into her stomach.
Alice followed them.
James snarled and tackled Edward pinning him to a tree. He looked at the rest of the Cullens."Move and I will kill him."
Esme-I looked at Emmett,Rose, Alice, and Jasper. "Do what he says." I said as I watched James pinning Edward to a tree.
Edward-I looked at James, "Where's Bella?!?"

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
If you actually read the entire article before commenting (which I know is a lot to ask but stick with me here), you would see that the new control mechanisms were very much directly addressed and highlighted as being inadequate to boost moonkin PvP in any meaningful sense. Having a silence is great... until the other player strafes a few yards out of it. Chances of that silence covering several players that have been aoe rooted? Much less likely now that previously. The mushroom boom of power is great... if they're setup enough at least four seconds before anyone gets within range to kill them off. Oh, and if someone happens to step within 3 yards, which, without researching, I have to assume is the smallest radius of anything in the game at the moment. Oh, but we still have that knockdown effe... nah, nevermind, that's gone now too.
That's all not to say that we don't have more options than we do in Wrath, but to call boomkins "extremely viable" is a stretch at best, especially in light of the recent downward adjustments (since it's beta, I won't call them nerfs),
