Gun Barrel City's Lone Gay Bar Was Targeted By Police, But Maybe Not Because it Was Gay
Saturday, April 5, was drag night at Garlow's, Gun Barrel City's one and only gay bar. It also happened to be the night when a half dozen or so of Gun Barrel City's finest showed up in the parking lot and began pulling over departing patrons for failing to use their turn signals.
"Basically, all that was was a fishing trip to see who's been drinking and who hasn't," bar owner Michael Slingerland tells Unfair Park, saying the bust was the culmination of a couple of months of a lighter police presence.
Gun Barrel City Police Chief Damon Boswell has not returned a call seeking comment, but Lone Star Q reports that four drivers were arrested for driving while intoxicated.
Slingerland himself, who says he'd "had some beers" but wasn't staggering or visibly drunk, opted to walk the quarter-mile to his house. Police arrested him anyway, for public intoxication. He was released from jail the next morning after paying a $352 fine.

None of Gun Barrel City's four other bars have been similarly targeted, according to former Dallas Voice reporter David Webb, therefore Garlow's must have been targeted because it's a gay bar, right?
Not so, Slingerland says. Gun Barrel City has had a gay bar for 22 years without incident. Garlow's is an established part of the community. Slingerland and Mayor Paul Eaton are close friends; he even donated $1,000 to his election campaign.
Nope, Garlow's was targeted because "we're the number one bar. We attract everybody."
That doesn't make the arrests any more palatable to Slingerland, who explained his feelings in a meeting with Boswell last week: "That's fishing motherfucker. You can't do that shit."
Judging by the absence of police cars over the weekend and Eaton's apologetic comments to Webb, the message got through.

In the loan business, its not "a job" they are after, but a source of continous income. Income can be an allowance, or retirement fund, or dividens from a large investment, etc, etc.
Loan officers and mortgage banks differ in knowledge and resources. If you have a steady income and your credit is adequate, then with the right amount of downpayment you should be able to get a mortgage.
Please send me your contact information so that we can discuss further and I can point you in the right direction. My email is : email@example.com

Well, because no one will lend money unless there is an indication (ie: job) that the borrower has sufficient income to repay the loan on a monthly basis!
I am not sure what you mean by saying you have "rent" - perhaps you mean you have savings to enable you to pay $950 a month in mortgage payments (for how long?)....What is your source of income?? If it's not a job - then what?
Savings can be depleted......therefore...an income is what is needed to qualify for a loan.
Even owners offering financing, who may be more lenient that a bank, will want to see some proof that you are able to make the monthly payments.
Best wishes............
Your Credit Score/History of repaying your debts, and,
You Job History, your abilty to repay the Loan.
If you don't have money coming in, how do you expect someone to loan you money?

Metaire Cemetery Sphinx
This photograph was taken at Metaire Cemetery in New Orleans in May 2005. The cemeteries in New Orleans are above ground due to the low water table there. It was taken with a Canon Digital Rebel 35mm camera using a lensbaby lens. The lensbaby is a special effect lens. I use it to give me a similar look to the toy cameras I used prior to going digital. I think of it as my digital Diana. More information about lensbaby lenses can be found at www.lensbaby.com

Maidana still bitter over loss to Khan......
By Steve Carp
Posted: Mar. 27, 2011 | 2:05 a.m.
Marcos Maidana said he can't afford to live in the past, even though the outcome of his Dec. 11 loss to Amir Khan still irks him.
Maidana had Khan in big trouble during the 10th round of their WBA junior welterweight title fight at Mandalay Bay, and Maidana said he is convinced he would have finished off Khan and claimed the belt had referee Joe Cortez allowed him to fight.
Maidana claims Cortez allowed a tired, beaten Khan to hang on by permitting him to remain in clinches, which kept Maidana from pressing forward for the knockout.
Cortez also deducted a point from Maidana's score in the fifth round after Maidana hit Khan with an elbow.
"The referee bothered me," Maidana said. "He wouldn't let me fight. It's hard to fight two guys at the same time."
Maidana wound up losing a 12-round unanimous decision.
He won't have to worry about Cortez when he returns to the ring April 9 to challenge Erik Morales for the vacant title at the MGM Grand Garden. Tony Weeks will be the third man in the ring for the 12-round bout, and the 27-year-old Maidana (29-2, 27 knockouts) is fine with that.
"I'm just going to fight my fight," the Argentinian said. "I'm not worried about what happened the last time. What good does it do?"
As he prepares for the 34-year-old Morales (51-5, 35 KOs), Maidana again has changed trainers, dropping Las Vegas' Miguel Diaz for Rudy Perez after briefly entertaining the idea of working with Nacho Beristain. Maidana and Perez spent nearly five weeks in Mexico training at altitude to get his conditioning up before moving camp to Las Vegas on March 15, training at the Pound 4 Pound Gym on Spring Mountain Road.
"Mexico was good because it gave me my conditioning," Maidana said. "In Vegas, I'm focusing on the game plan and maintaining my conditioning."
Maidana spent 18 months with Diaz. He said it was his decision to bring in Perez.
"(Diaz) was very helpful. He taught me some tricks, and I'm grateful for his help," Maidana said. "But I felt it was time to make a change and move on."
Maidana said Perez hasn't changed his style and is just refining his technique.
"We're still getting to know each other," Maidana said. "But so far, it's been good."
As for the April 9 fight, Maidana is not taking Morales lightly, even though Maidana figures to be a big favorite .
"I've watched Morales' last three fights, and I respect him," Maidana said of the former world champion, who is in the midst of a comeback after retiring in 2007 following a loss to David Diaz.
Golden Boy Promotions has added a 10-round welterweight fight between Paulie Malignaggi and Jose Miguel Cotto on the Maidana-Morales undercard.

The only mistake Cortez made was deducting a point from Maidana. To be honest, I thought it was one of Cortez's better performances.

Dear Sally,I saw something today that made me think of you. It was a blog post addressed to teenage girls. Oh I know, you're only four, but in ten years you'll be fourteen. It was that fourteen-year-old you I couldn't help but think of when I read this post, and inside, my heart broke for you.There will be adults in your world who are very concerned about what you wear and how you carry your body and what you do with it.

My Brothers Too: Purity Culture and Double Standards
Every time purity culture issues come up---purity rings, purity balls, saving your first kiss for the wedding---someone inevitably makes an argument about double standards. Sometimes these commenters are absolutely right---modesty discussions almost without fail involve a double standard---but other times, well, it's not so simple.In the conservative evangelical homeschool circles I ran in as a teen and young adult, boys didn't get a pass on not having sex before marriage. Guys were expected … [Read more...]
Manly Modesty?
Every time I write about modesty, people comment pointing out that there's a double standard---modesty is about girls dressing a certain way so that guys won't be turned on by women's bodies, and the idea that girls might be turned on by guys is generally left out of the picture completely. In this light, I found a recent article on the Christian Post interesting. Near the end of my pastoral tenure a shift happened I had never experienced in 20 years of ministry. After a sermon in which I … [Read more...]

Pregnant spider explodes with babies when it gets squashed

According to MSDN: Array usage guidelines:
Array Valued Properties
You should use collections to avoid code inefficiencies. In the following code example, each call to the myObj property creates a copy of the array. As a result, 2n+1 copies of the array will be created in the following loop.
[Visual Basic]
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To obj.myObj.Count - 1
Next i
for (int i = 0; i < obj.myObj.Count; i++)
Other than the change from myObj[] to ICollection myObj, what else would you recommend? Just realized that my current app is leaking memory :(
EDIT: Would forcing C# to pass references w/ ref (safety aside) improve performance and/or memory usage?

Hello. I was wondering is there an easy way to replace or add additional font to the theme. Basically I like how the font looks for the menus, headings etc. but I would like the content to use a thinner font. I replaced the default font in functions.php and it worked, but when I wanted to add additional font through the child theme functions.php it is giving me an error that the font is already loaded in main functions.php. Is using the @import url(http://fonts..... option the easiest way?
Thank you

Product Description
From Amazon
"What is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations!"
Readers who share Alice's taste in books will be more than satisfied with The Annotated Alice, a volume that includes not only pictures and conversations, but a thorough gloss on the text as well. There may be some, like G.K. Chesterton, who abhor the notion of putting Lewis Carroll's masterpiece under a microscope and analyzing it within an inch of its whimsical life. But as Martin Gardner points out in his introduction, so much of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass is composed of private jokes and details of Victorian manners and mores that modern audiences are not likely to catch. Yes, Alice can be enjoyed on its own merits, but The Annotated Alice appeals to the nosy parker in all of us. Thus we learn, for example, that the source of the mouse's tale may have been Alfred Lord Tennyson who "once told Carroll that he had dreamed a lengthy poem about fairies, which began with very long lines, then the lines got shorter and shorter until the poem ended with fifty or sixty lines of two syllables each." And that, contrary to popular belief, the Mad Hatter character was not a parody of then Prime Minister Gladstone, but rather was based on an Oxford furniture dealer named Theophilus Carter.
Gardner's annotations run the gamut from the factual and historical to the speculative and are, in their own way, quite as fascinating as the text they refer to. Occasionally, he even comments on himself, as when he quotes a fellow annotator of Alice, James Kincaid: "The historical context does not call for a gloss but the passage provides an opportunity to point out the ambivalence that may attend the central figure and her desire to grow up." And then follows with a charming riposte: "I thank Mr. Kincaid for supporting my own rambling." There's a lot of information in the margins (indeed, the page is pretty evenly divided between Carroll's text and Gardner's), but the ramblings turn out to be well worth the time. So hand over your old copy of Lewis Carroll's classic to the kids--this Alice in Wonderland is intended entirely for adults. --Alix Wilber
From Library Journal
Clarkson Potter published The Annotated Alice in 1960, and Gardner published the sequel More Annotated Alice in 1990. Here, Gardner combines and expands both to produce The Definitive Edition. This presents the full texts of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking-Glass, and "The Wasp in a Wig," a "suppressed" chapter of Looking-Glass. Each of these texts is accompanied by a lengthy marginal commentary that identifies historical and literary references and allusions, explains Carroll's logical and mathematical puzzles, and interprets colloquialisms and idiomatic expressions. Gardner's commentary is sufficiently detailed to be informative without burdening Alice with excessive pedantic baggage. The Definitive Edition also includes Tenniel's original illustrations and an exhaustive annotated list by David Shaefer of Alice on the screen. This is a happy contribution to those who appreciate Lewis Carroll.

How I wonder what you are at
Up above the world you fly
Like a tea tray in the sky
Twinkle twinkle little bat
How I wonder what you are at
This seems simple enough, but do you know of what rhyme, "Beat Your Baby When He Sneezes" is a parody? The original poem was a song for babies to go to sleep. You will find all this info. and more. Cheers!...
This is a book that actually delivers what it promises. The large format of the book makes it easy to read and pleasing to the eye. The original drawings for the book by Tenniel are included, making it quite interesting. In the wide margins, Gardiner makes clear the countless curiosities, verses, puns, and mathematical oddities. Some of those things were meant to be understood only by a select group of people living in Oxford at the time Lewis Carroll wrote his work. Gardiner therefore draws upon a wealth of research by Alice fans all over the world to come to an understanding of all these oddities. The result is a much more enriching experience and much more pleasurable reading of the story.
At any rate, I don't take the Alice story as seriously as some of the fans do, but I was pleased I read this annotated edition once. I plan to find again my old childhood copy and re-read the story without annotation for enjoyment. Note that the annotated Alice went through various editions, this ("Definitive annotated Alice" being the third, most up-to-date and most complete, including the original illustrations by Tenniel and both sets of annotations in the original "Annotated Alice" and in the "More Annotated Alice". This is the edition to buy.
My point is that this book contributed more to my understanding of logic and wordplay than several semesters of college philosophy classes. If you've read this far then I am probably preaching to the choir but 'Alice in Wonderland' can hardly be classified as a childrens' book, dispite Disney's attempts to do so. The concepts Lewis Carroll and Martin Gardner bring to this tale cover such areas as set theory, meta-language, Aristotelian logic, topography, game theory, several pre-Socratic logic paradoxes, and even quantum physics. Yet John Tenniel's original illustrations remain as an welcome tether to the original publication.
Gardner does a wonderful job of bringing all the various aspects of these two stories together as he illuminates layer upon layer of meaning that might not be evident to an American audience or, for that matter, a 21st century one. My favorite gems are the French and German translations of The Jabberwocky.
This book ranks in my top five favorite books of all time.

The Promise Walk for Preeclampsia
Do you know anything about the devastating disorder that is preeclampsia? Affecting pregnant women, preeclampsia is defined as "a rapidly progressive condition characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine". (source)
Simply put, it is a terrifying disorder that requires proper prenatal care. I have such a passion for supporting and bringing awareness to issues that affect pregnant women and their families. I was thrilled to hear about The Promise Walk for Preeclampsia happening in Miami. While I won't be able to attend, I'll be donating to the cause in hopes that the funds that are raised support the families that are affected by preeclampsia .
If you are in or around the Miami area, consider registering for this walk! For more information visit The Promise Walk.
Iron Girl 2015 – Here I Come!
So remember that time I ran Iron Girl last year? I'm doing it again!! The fantastic people for Iron Girl reached out to me to inquire if I was interested in attending the race and their inaugural Wellness Weekend and I was like, "Um…yeeeeah!"
Workout Approved Cosmetics for the Busy Professional
Fitness. Lawd. I just…man, you know what? I've really gotta get it together this year. Here's the thing. In 2014 I ran a total of 10 races. Yes y'all. Me. This never been an athlete in her life chick joined Black Girls Run and…was a black girl that ran. Pretty freaky stuff. But I've got A LOT to do including dropping a loooot of weight and quitting the "OMGGGG, I don't have time because I work full time and my husband travels and I'm a mom" excuses.
So. I've been getting it in. Very excited to bounce back on board with my Makeup Wars sisters as we highlight some of our favorite workout approved cosmetics.
The Best Race Everrrr – Iron Girl!
I did it, girls. I smashed the Iron Girl 5K last weekend in Clearwater, Florida. If you're not familiar with the race, Iron Girl is a race for women. And women only. Of the 6 races that I've ever participated in, this has been, by far, my favorite. You don't know girl power until you see thousands and thousands of women running beside you, cheering for you and reaching their goals WITH you. It's a beautiful thang and I was so honored that Iron Girl provided me with a press pass to attend and run this race.
According to Iron Girl, their mission is "to Empower Women Toward a Healthy Lifestyle!" (source). It's a mission that I totally get behind and as long as I am able, I will always make it my duty to do at least one Iron Girl event a year. The Iron Girl event series features several events each year and the Clearwater Half Marathon & 5K held on April 13th was the first event to launch their season.
Some races you participate in and then you move on. From the minute you sign up for an Iron Girl race, you are a part of the sisterhood. And they don't stop letting you know this. From the sweet paraphernalia to the amount of support you get on race day, look no further than the Iron Girl for your first race.
And when I tell you ORGANIZED, oh my…this event was by far one of the most organized races that I've ever participated in. The volunteers were incredibly nice and helpful, and the registration table was easy to spot. Women from all over (and the men that support them) travel from all over to run the Iron Girl in Clearwater because it is such a stunning race.
The weather was a cool 72 degrees and while going over the bridge, down it and over it again wasn't easy, I was so amazed to see so many women, mothers and daughters, sisters, friends, running buddies of all shapes and sizes crossing the FINISH line. And seeing signs like this from the guys reppin' The Best Damn Race didn't hurt either…
The MC steadily congratulated everyone who crossed over and we were all greeted with a stunning medal.
I always joke and say that I really only run for cookies and medals but it really does feel good. Every time I felt like quitting, I looked over and saw another woman pushing it and that's what motivated me. Although, yeah…downing food is a good motivator, too.
The race made sure that us racers were well hydrated and fed proceeding the race. They offered a full breakfast with scrambled eggs, bagels, fruit, sausages, biscuits and a very yummy strawberry shortcake. The latter was completely random but definitely appreciated.
Race Pros
- Affordable! Under $50 for the 5K and under $105 for the half-marathon
- There's an app for the race
- Race provides detailed information regarding travel and parking.
- Lots of help from volunteers
- Stunning (and accurate) course
- Lots of post-run food and water
Race Cons
- Because of its popularity, finding a hotel near the race may be challenging
- The line to take a picture by the Iron Girl sign is loooooong
For more information, visit the Iron Girl's website and follow them via their social media networks so you can jump on board when registration opens up again.
That Girl Who Wears Lipstick When She Runs…
I feel like such a lame-o for just now wearing this lipstick. I purchased MAC's RiRi Woo – I dunno…months ago! And I really only purchased it because so many of my beauty blogger friends were raving over it. And I fell for the hype.
Which is funny because I've never been one to fall over MAC, the brand or Rihanna, the artist. But the lippy arrived and I didn't touch it. Until a few weeks ago when Grandmama Clumps and I ran a 5K.
I was inspired by the gorgeous Tracee Ellis Ross who wears red lipstick when she works out. And just like that, the stunning RiRi Woo lipstick has become my #1 workout lippy.
And you can see why, right? This limited edition cool matte of a red lipstick rocks my socks. Every few years, I run across a red lipstick that I fall in love with and it looks like this red is the one. In fact, any time I run a race, I'll be wearing this one.
Yep. Some girls run with tutus. Others run with lucky socks. And then there will be me. I will run with red lipstick.
The Flavor Run Comes To Orlando!
I know. You're all like…"Seriously B? What is it with you and these color runs?" I can't help it. I run races, but truthfully, I kinda hate running. Sounds crazy, I know but I really only do it for the bling. Yeah, I do it for health too but if I'm going to run a race, I would much rather run a FUN one. And color races are some kind of fun.
This is my first time hearing about The Flavor Run and while it is coming up in just a few weeks, you still have some time to register if you're interested in joining me on April 26th!
But if you think you've seen all there is to see when it comes to color runs, you haven't seen anything yet. The Flavor Run is unique in that you can actually eat the fruity dust. Yeah, go ahead and act all adult and say "Ewwww!" Personally, I am all over this as the stuff is already flying in your mouth. It's nice to be able to have some fruity goodness behind it.
Aaaand, not only that but those who cross the FINISH line will be rewarded with a medal and a helpful supply of fruit. Like, REAL fruit. Scoooore! For more information about Do's/Don'ts of the race, check out their Flavor Questions Answered. Not near Orlando? Keep your eyes peeled, Atlanta and Tampa. The Flavor Run will be coming your way soon!
Stay connected to The Flavor Run's Facebook page for updates, race pics and details.
Color Me Rad 5K – Orlando 2014
Yo. So I am all over running races. It is just a wee bit of an addiction. I've gone as far as to run 2 races in a weekend and sign myself up for races that aren't for months and months. I figure this "get fit" thing has to be some kind of fun and so doing races is my way of enjoying it. Kinda.
When I was offered the opportunity to score a pass for the Color Me Rad run here in Orlando on March 30th, I jumped at it. Because…obviously. A fun 5K that involves a ton of rainbow dust, loud music and doesn't involve a huge clock that will track my time? DONE!
By the way…I took all of these pictures with my iPhone. If they look a bit gritty, don't judge a sista, ok?
There are many color runs that are held in cities nationwide and since this is my first one, I can't compare Color Me Rad to any other run. What I can do is give you fellow runners and non-runners an idea if this is the kind of race for you.
The short answer is YES! For $50, those that register for this race get a race bib, t-shit (and a VERY cool t-shirt, at that), RAD tattoo, sunglasses and a sticker. More than anything, though, you're paying for the experience and had this race been around when I was in elementary, middle or high school, I would have sooooo tried to convince my parents to let me run. I would have also done it with my college girlfriends and boyfriends. That's just it. This race is so much fun at all ages and I think many non-athletes will appreciate how carefree and FUN it is. In fact, many people didn't run at all. They casually walked with friends and chatted.
So, let's get down to the details. What to expect at Color Me Rad…
Color Me Rad operates on a wave system. When you register, you sign up for a time and that's when you head to the Start line. And that's when the madness begins. Things like this happen at the Start line…
You get to chattin' with strangers and watchin' them toss color bombs all over each other. It's good time to be had and this is all before the race even starts. Unlike many races, Color Me Rad is NOT timed. I love this idea. I tend to be pretty competitive but I love not having to worry about meeting my personal record. I ran with a gal pal who keeps me motivated and so we did run but it was great not having to worry about beating a certain time.
Every half of a mile or so Color Me Rad has a color station set up that blast with you different colors of colored cornstarch or colored water. I am clearly a 7-year old trapped in a 29-year old's body because I loved this part.
And at the end of each wave (and several times during), at a stage an MC will pass out color bombs to every one, a countdown begins and folx toss the bombs all over the air. Best.time.ever. It has been forever since I've bounced up and down with my hands in the air begging for free t-shirt. But it was a fantastic time. And I would so do it again.
-When registering, you save money by signing up as a team.
-Color Me Rad is ALL kinds of high energy. Lots of music and lots of excitement.
-Registration at the event was super easy.
-Parking was well laid out (this may vary at different locations).
-The post-run party is a lot of fun with the chance to score a ton of freebies.
-Staff was helpful and plentiful.
-Bottles of water and snacks greet you at the Finish line.
-The colored cornstarch removes easily from skin, clothes and hair.
-The race wasn't mapped out so well. We got lost around certain parts.
-We didn't receive our post-run color bomb.
-There aren't any medals.
-The course was far less than 5K. In fact, I tracked it on my GPS and it was only 2.60 miles.
But hey, you know what? The cons are practically forgettable as I think anyone that participates in this race will have an amazing time. They will be at a ton of locations in the U.S. Sign up today!
Disclaimer: I received a press pass for this event but all opinions are my own.

Mitt Romney
Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney arrives to his election night rally, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012, in Boston. President Obama defeated Republican challenger former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
David Goldman, Associated Press
Willard Mitt Romney (born March 12, 1947) is an American businessman and politician who served as the 70th Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. He was the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States in the 2012 election.
Raised in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, by his parents Lenore and George W. Romney, Mitt Romney spent two and a half years in France as a Mormon missionary starting in 1966. He married Ann Davies in 1969, with whom he has had five children.
By 1971, Romney had participated in the political campaigns of both his parents. In that year, he earned a Bachelor of Arts at Brigham Young and in 1975, a joint Juris Doctor and Master of Business Administration at Harvard.
Romney then entered the management consulting industry and in 1977 he secured a position at Bain & Company. Later serving as its chief executive officer, he helped lead the company out of financial crisis.
In 1984, he cofounded and led the spin-off company Bain Capital, a highly profitable private equity investment firm that became one of the largest of its kind in the nation. His considerable net worth, estimated in 2012 at $190250 million, helped finance his prior political campaigns.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts expected Anthony Gonzalez to replace Marvin Harrison this season. Now they could be looking for a replacement to The Replacement.
One day after losing Gonzalez in a 14-12 victory over Jacksonville, team president Bill Polian said Gonzalez sprained ligaments in his right knee and the team is not sure how much time the third-year receiver could miss. Polian did not identify which ligaments were injured.
Clearly, though, the Colts are making backup plans and apparently they don't include Harrison.
"We will sit down with our pro personnel folks and talk through who the best veteran guy might be, who fits our system best," Polian said on his weekly Monday night radio show. "It's predicated, largely, on how long Gonzo is out. If he's gone for four weeks or more, then the likelihood is that we would make a change. If he's gone for four weeks or less, then probably not the sense of urgency to make a change."
A source confirmed an NFL.com report to ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Sunday that Gonzalez will miss 2 to 6 weeks. Polian and coach Jim Caldwell said they wouldn't know more until meeting with the medical staff later Monday. Polian said it was not a season-ending injury.
Fans have been buzzing about the possibility of re-signing Harrison, the franchise's career receiving leader. He is available and though his numbers decreased following a 2007 knee injury, he knows three-time MVP Peyton Manning better than anyone, has intimate knowledge of the Colts offense and remains a favorite among fans and his ex-teammates.
A message was left by The Associated Press with Harrison's agent, Tom Condon. Harrison's 1,102 receptions rank second in league history -- behind only Jerry Rice.
But after Caldwell refused to rule out the possibility Monday afternoon, Polian did just that hours later.
"It really is counterproductive to try and bring a player in who's not had any training camp, not had any offseason [work]," Polian said. "So if we're going to add someone, it would be someone who's been in training camp and possibly is a little younger than Marvin."
The Colts had big expectations for Gonzalez, their 2007 first-round draft pick, after releasing Harrison in a cost-cutting move in February. Gonzalez's numbers last season were nearly identical to Harrison's.
But all those plans may have changed the moment Gonzalez stepped across the line of scrimmage late in the first quarter Sunday. As he ran left, Gonzalez crumbled to the ground without touching anyone and clutched his knee. He was carried off the field without putting any weight on the right leg.
"We know it is not season-ending," Polian said. "I will probably know more in a couple of hours, but the fact is it's not season-ending and that's a good sign."
Indy's problem at receiver is glaring because the Colts kept only four receivers on the active roster -- three-time Pro Bowler Reggie Wayne, second-year pro Pierre Garcon, rookie Austin Collie and Gonzalez.
Wayne has 586 career receptions. The other three have combined for 103 catches, 94 of those by Gonzalez.
Garcon caught four passes last season -- only one of those from Manning -- and Collie was a fourth-round draft pick in April. On Sunday, the two combined to catch to catch five passes for 39 yards.
What else could the Colts do?
They might activate Taj Smith, John Matthews or both from the practice squad. Smith spent most of last season on Indy's practice squad, knows the offense and played well in the preseason. He caught five passes for 59 yards and one touchdown and also made an impact on special teams.
"Hopefully, something will come about, but if not, I'll just keep working," Smith said. "If I get that chance, it will be the moment I've been waiting for."
Matthews was an undrafted rookie from San Diego who made seven catches for 85 yards in the preseason.
Indy also could revert to an old tactic, moving Clark into the slot. Clark has played there before, partly because of injuries. Or they could put second-year tight end Jacob Tamme, who some consider a virtual clone of Clark, in the slot.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

The invention relates to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), and more specifically, to VoIP services in personal communication networks.
Internet Voice, also known as VoIP, is a technology that allows users to make telephone calls using a broadband Internet connection instead of an analog phone line. VoIP defines a way to carry voice calls over an IP network including performing digitization and packetization of the voice streams. IP Telephony utilizes the VoIP standards to create a telephony system where higher level features, such as advanced call routing, voice mail, contact centers, etc., can be utilized.
Currently, there are some popular VoIP networks, including H.323, developed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). These VoIP networks provide peer-to-peer, multimedia signaling protocol through several servers. A SIP network for example comprises four types of servers: a registrar server for location registration; a proxy server for call establishment, call signal forwarding, and authentication; a redirect server for call signal forwarding; and a user-agent server.
Some corporate entities establish their own SIP or H.323 networks on the Internet. These corporate entities are so called VoIP service providers. The VoIP service providers generally do not provide IP bearer services. The IP bearer services may be LAN or WLAN supported by Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) or cable services providers. Customers can use LAN or WLAN, which is generally free to the public, to access s VoIP service provider VoIP network.
Maintenance of a VoIP network, however, is costly. Take a SIP network for example, the VoIP service providers must implement SIP services such as registrars, proxy servers, and redirect servers. As a result, using the conventional VoIP, consumers are forced to pay VoIP service fees to their service providers, even if the IP bearer service is free.
For the above typical VoIP service, drawbacks comprise server instability, high VoIP servers maintenance cost, low compatibility, and complex procedures. Furthermore, VoIP service customers must apply for VoIP services and must pay VoIP service fees to service providers, which may be based on VoIP session duration. Customers that use different voice service providers may not be able to communicate with each other, and there may be interoperability issues as VoIP servers may be built by different vendors. Additionally, complicated registration and authentication procedures are required before a VoIP conversation can be established.
Methods and systems of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in personal communication networks are provided. Some embodiments of a VoIP method comprise exchanging network information of a first device and a second device through a telecommunication network, and establishing a VoIP connection between a first and second devices through an Internet based network according to the exchanged network information. The telecommunication network may be the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) or any 3G network. In some embodiments, the exchanged network information comprises an IP address and a port number, and the network information is exchanged via instant messages. The instant messages maybe delivered by Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), or Instant Messaging and Presence Services (IMPS). In some embodiments, the VoIP connection is established by sending and receiving Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) packets according to the exchanged network information.
Some embodiments of a VoIP communication system comprise a first mobile device, a second mobile device, and a message service center operating in a telecommunication network. The first and second mobile devices exchange network information by sending and receiving messages through the message service center, and establish a VoIP conversation through an Internet based network according to the exchanged network information. In some embodiments, the message service center is a Short Message Service Center (SMSC) which exchanges the network information using short message service (SMS) provided by the telecommunication network. The first and second mobile devices may connect to the Internet based network through a wireless local area network (WLAN) via Access Points (AP).
In some embodiments, network user information is exchanged via an Internet based network, for example, by using email or Internet based instant messages. A VoIP connection can be established according to the exchanged network information.
Some embodiments of a VoIP communication system comprise a first and a second mobile device, and a message service center receiving and forwarding messages via an Internet based network. In some embodiments, the message service center may be an email service center, and the two mobile devices exchange network information via email. The network information comprises an IP address and a port number. Network user information can thus be obtained without VoIP servers. A VOIP connection then be established according to the obtained network information.
Methods and systems of VoIP in personal communication networks can be more fully understood by reading the subsequent detailed description in conjunction with the examples and references made to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
The VoIP methods and systems of the present invention allow users to make VoIP calls without requiring a VoIP server. Customers may use instant messages, such as SMS, MMS, WAP Push, IMPS, or email to exchange network information. Once a user obtains the network information of a peer, direct communication can proceed according to the obtained network information.
Instead of using SMS in a telecommunication network, any person skilled in the art should understand that the network information can be exchanged by using emails, IMPS (mobile instant messaging and presence services), MMS (multimedia messaging service), or any instant messages.
An embodiment of establishing a VoIP connection between two users GH_Tu and TY_Lin is described as follows. In this embodiment, it is assumed that GH_Tu sends an address query message to TY_Lin using a SMS message comprising the information "Addr_query, GH_Tu, 09288771556, 172.21.120.60, 1235". Here, the format of the SMS messages is "message type, name, phone number, IP address, port number". TY_Lin replies with an address query response to GH_Tu using a SMS message comprising information of "Addr_res, TY_Lin, 09288771123, 172.21.120.92, 5598". GH_TU thus retrieves the necessary network information (IP address and port number) from the SMS message for establishing a VoIP call to TY_Lin using Internet packets. Compared to the conventional VoIP system, in the present invention, the cost of this VoIP call establishment is low because customers do not need to pay for VoIP service, even if the call duration is up to 10 hours.
In some embodiments, the cost of sending SMS messages for exchanging network information may also be reduced by storing the obtained network information in a database. If a caller wants to recall a callee, the network information about the callee can be directly retrieved from its database with no need to transmit instant messages again. The format of the database may be shown as following:
Item 1: TY_Lin, 09288771123, 172.21.120.92, 5598;
Item 2: TY_Lee, 09288771456, 172.21.120.56, 9778.
The user, for example, GH_Tu, may check the validity of the database and update the database whenever he powers on the mobile phone. While powering on the mobile phone, GH_Tu sends a signaling query comprising his own IP address and port number to each user stored in the database, for example, TY_Lin. If the IP address and port number of TY_Lin are still valid, he will receive the signaling query. After receiving the signaling query, TY_Lin will reply with a signaling response comprising his own IP address and port number to GH_Tu. If GH_Tu does receive the signaling response from TY_Lin, the entry of TY_Lin in the database will be considered valid. If not, the entry of TY_Lin should be deleted from the database. Therefore, by proper maintenance of the database, users can effectively retrieve other's network information. It should be noted that the signaling query and signaling response can also be delivered by Internet packets via WLAN or 3G network, as the Internet packets will be less expensive than the instant message such as SMS messages.
In another embodiments, when the IP address of GH_Tu changes, GH_Tu can send a signaling update message to users stored in the database to inform of the updated network information. An exemplary signaling update message is "Addr_Update, GH_Tu, 09288771556, 172.21.120.55, 9876". Similarly, the signaling update message may be delivered by Internet packets to reduce cost.
Prior to making a VoIP call to a user, for example, TY_Lee, GH_Tu first examines the database for network information of TY_Lee. If an entry of TY_Lee is found, GH_Tu sends a signaling invite request (such as a SIP invite) to TY_Lee according to the IP address and port number obtained from the database. If the network information of TY_Lee is not found in the database, GH_Tu will send a query instant message to acquire the network information of TY_Lee, and send the signaling invite request after obtaining the network information from TY_Lee.
While the invention has been described by way of example and in terms of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited thereto. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements as would be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the scope of the appended claims should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all such modifications and similar arrangements.

@ BrentBot: Other anthropologists have presented other theories about what has led to the downfall of cultures/societies. Nothing in the literature supports the claim that your guy is right and the other guys are wrong. As a matter of fact, considering that there is a greater consensus regarding the other theories, your guy is more likely wrong.

official church counsel is NOT to delay marriage for financial reasons. One can always argue that you are never really ready to marry until you have your college degree and a well paying job and a house.... which would mean you would be looking to marry in most cases when you are about 35 to 38 years old!! Try finding a mate at age 35. Good luck with that. Due to the LDS culture most marry before age 25 so if you wait as you suggest to 28 or 29 you are picking from a much smaller pool of candidates. This is reality. No question young couples are going to experience financial struggles for many years as they try to get their education and have children at the same time but if both husband and wife are grounded and willing to work hard while having less they can develop stronger bonds with each other than they otherwise would. Of course there is always the Obama way -- just live of the government and let someone else pay your bills.

(Not a Comcast / Xfinity customer? Click your service provider tab above to find modems.)
Comcast (Xfinity) Approved DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modems
Modem list updated July 2016. Prices updated every hour.
Below are all the modems on the Comcast Approved Cable Modem List and that can be bought at Amazon, Walmart or Best Buy. There are over 45 different modems on that list and we've gone through all of them to find the ones that can be purchased at major retailers.
If you're paying $10 a month to rent a modem from Comcast, that's $120 a year or $600 over 5 years. You can buy a new one that will pay for itself in less than one year. Its easy to install. Just hookup modem, open web browser on attached computer and follow the on-screen instructions.
Comcast / Xfinity Triple Play or Voice customers: The modems listed immediately below will not work if you have Comcast/Xfinity Voice or Triple Play. To see modems that will work, read this: Comcast Voice Modems
DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modems
Cable Modem Buying Tips and FAQ's
Comcast recommends that you buy a DOCSIS 3.0 modem for all of their internet plans. All of these modems below will work on all plans: Economy, Performance, Ultra, Blast! and Extreme. For Extreme 150 plans, choose a modem with at least 8-channel downstream bonding to maximize your speed. They are the ARRIS/Motorola SB6141, SB6183, SB6190, SBG6580, SBG6782, Netgear C3000, CG3000Dv2, C3700, C6300 and Zoom 5354.
Comcast business customers should buy either the ARRIS/Motorola SB6141, SB6190 or the SB6183 for all plans up to and including Deluxe 100 Plus. For the Deluxe 250 plan, only the SB6183 and the SB6190 will maximize your speeds.
All of these modems are high quality and have pretty much the same features, except of course those with routers built in. So don't worry too much about deciding which one to buy. Price should be a main factor in your buying decision. Buy one now and start saving those rental fees!Show All Modems: Show All Modems with Downstream Channels of:
DOCSIS 2.0 Cable Modems
(Scroll up or click here for DOCSIS 3.0 modems)
Cable Modem Buying Tips and FAQ's
Comcast does not officially support DOCSIS 2.0 modems anymore. These used to work, but we cannot recommend them anymore.
Comcast Voice or Triple Play Customers:
You will need a cable modem called an EMTA or telephony modem. Not all Comcast regions let you buy your own EMTA modem. Call your local Comcast service center and check if they allow customer owned EMTA modems. If so, the following can be bought from Amazon (these links takes you to Amazon):
- Arris TG862G DOCSIS 3.0 Residential Gateway with 802.11n, 4 Port Router and 2 Voice Lines (8-channel downstream)
- Arris TG862G-CT DOCSIS 3.0 Residential Gateway with 802.11n, 4 Port Router and 2 Voice Lines (8-channel downstream) (The above two models are basically the same and both will work on Comcast, the TG862G sits horizontally while the TG862G-CT sits vertically.)
- Arris TM722g Cable Modem Docsis 3.0 (4-channel downstream)
- Xfinity - Arris TG862-CT Touchstone Docsis 3.0 Cable Modem And Wireless Router With Telephony Adapter - Black
Best Buy also sells the ARRIS TG862-CT, below is a link to it:
The TM722g has 4-channel downstream while the TG862G has 8. If you don't need the built in WIFI router of the TG862G, you can put it in bridge mode and use your own WIFI router. Please call Comcast before purchasing any EMTA modem to save lots of headaches and troubles.
Another option is get rid of Comcast Voice and sign up with a voice over IP (VoIP) company such as Callcentric. For $3.45 per month plus 1.5 cents per minute (other pricing plans available), you can use your current phone number, get free voice mail, caller id, forward your messages to your email, automatic spam / telemarketing call blocking, message text alerts, block and forward certain calls, 911 service; all the features of Comcast Voice
plus many more. Quality is as good as Comcast's. If you don't use your home phone much anymore, this is a great option. Now, you could buy your own modem and save even more per month. We've been using Callcentric for almost 5 years now and absolutely love it.

I wanted to know which would be the best modem to get. I would like to change from at&t to comcast but want to get my own modem and router but seperate. I need a good router because my son plays games online and we have many people streaming at the same time. So which do you think would be the best modem. I was thinking on changing to comcast voice, have to compare the prices.
