Chan Gailey was pretty much a washout from the start for the Bills, and fans who withstood his 16-32 record there are understandably happy to have him gone. Still—who's the new guy? Doug Marrone is: Syracuse's former coach, a one-time offensive coordinator under Sean Peyton, and...that's kind of it. Marrone may well be a miracle-worker, but when the new top guy's best qualification is taking an awful Syracuse football program and nudging it to a mediocre .500 record over four years (11-17 in the Big East), the news reports of his signing with the Bills—in the midst of far sexier coaching searches—will inevitability feature some inadvertently damning facts and strained attempts to sell this as great news. Here are our favorites.
The 48-year-old Marrone went 25-25 in four seasons at Syracuse.
The Syracuse job was Marrone's first as a head coach.
The Bills' decision to go with Marrone came on a day they were scheduled to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. The meeting, however, was postponed by McCoy, according to a person familiar with the coach's plans.
The Bills opened their coaching search Tuesday, when newly promoted President Russ Brandon and several executives traveled to Arizona, where they interviewed candidates. They met with former Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and current Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton.
It's also possible that Marrone's hiring will affect the Bills' draft plans at the team's most important position. Ryan Nassib, Syracuse's quarterback, is NFLDraftScout.com's fourth-rated player signal-caller in the 2013 draft class.
The Bills began negotiating with the Syracuse coach after their visit with Oregon coach Chip Kelly. It became clear Kelly was more interested in other options, and Marrone was viewed as an excellent candidate with strong pro and college experience as well as ties to New York state.
The Bills were interested in having an offensive-minded coach, and figuring out the quarterback position is their top offseason objective.
Former Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt also was a finalist for this job and was the first person whom Buffalo interviewed.
"I think we all should appreciate what coach Marrone did for Syracuse," former Syracuse offensive tackle Justin Pugh said on his Twitter account. "He left the program in much better shape than where he found it."
He managed to earn the program some respectability in short order, has developed some NFL talent (defensive tackle Arthur Jones, running back Delone Carter, linebacker Doug Hogue, defensive end Chandler Jones and guard Andrew Tiller were all drafted out of Marrone's program), and has one of the best quarterback prospects coming out this year in Ryan Nassib.
By reportedly hiring Doug Marrone as their head coach, the Bills are daring to be different.
Nobody can accurately predict how Marrone will fare, but give the Bills credit for decisively identifying the person they wanted.
Turning around the Bills will be much harder for Marrone than turning around Syracuse's program.
We're about to find out if Marrone is ready for this.
When Marrone interviewed, he must have been extremely impressive. Marrone wasn't even the hottest college coach on the market.
The Bills have gotten it wrong plenty of times. With Marrone, Buffalo fans can only hope that the Bills have finally gotten it right.
So, Chip Kelly said no, and they figured they might as well hire a guy who knew New York state and Ryan Nassib, because they've got to replace Ryan Fitzpatrick, who they're paying $59 million over six years. Bills football: At the very least, led by someone besides Chan Gailey.

Their creations are so "Merry and Bright!"
Tracey from Mowbray Designs
I'm married with 2 boys. I love to paper craft, card making,
colouring die cutting & just started doing a bit of embroidery.
Maria from Made by CreaMaria
I'm Maria, 46 years old, living in Stockholm, Sweden. I work in a craft supplies store – I love it, but my bank account doesn't. ;) I've been making cards for over 15 years now, and have also designed stamps and taught cardmaking classes. It is simply my big passion in life! I'd say my cardmaking style is quite clean (not a lot of embellishments besides ribbons and rhinestones) but with patterned papers and several layers.
Lynne from Lynne's Craft Haven
Hi, my name is Lynne and I live near the Cathedral City of Lincoln with my husband and two little doggies. I retired last year and started my blog in May after I caught the bug of card making. Even though I have dabbled in other crafts over the years, this seems to be the one that has hooked me the most. My other hobbies are gardening and playing tennis, but I always go back to my craft room when I can and it always seems to be in a mess! I hope you like my card and thank you to Crafting by Designs for asking me to be a Guest Designer.
Lynda from My Handmade Life
Louise from Crafting Mum Louise
I am currently a stay at home mum and i have been crafting for about 15 years now, mostly cards, a little bit of other stuff sewing, scrapbooking. I love stamping and embossing, but i also love die cutting which has really taken off lately. I hope to get back into work soon so hopefully i will still find time to do the odd card!
We look forward to seeing every one of your Fabulous Christmas entries! Just remember that we have a few rules for the challenges. Link to your post and not to your blog, no linking back and you can only have three entries . The challenge will run through May 2nd.
Thank you for playing along!
Lots of Hugs!

First of all, kudos to Cleveland broadcasters Matt Underwood and Rick Manning for not resorting to Willy Wonka references as this squirrel invades Jacobs Field in the ninth inning of the White Sox-Indians game last week. The Indians had the infield shift on and the squirrel obviously felt that third base needed to be covered. MLB purged the YouTube copy of this thing, but we have another version following the jump. Click to view Sadly, Chicago has lost three straight going into tonight's game with the Blue Jays. But somehow all I can think of is that squirrel jumping onto Berman's head and serving as a hairpiece for the remainder of the season. I know; weird. But now onto other AL business. If you're going to get a group of friends together to reenact a movie scene, it may as well be Little Miss Sunshine. Our group here are Los Angeles Angels broadcasters Bill MacDonald, Mark Gubicza, Steve Physioc, Jose Mota and Rex Hudler, the finest ensemble cast since the Brat Pack. No one gets left behind!

Former Denver Broncos safety Hamza Abdullah, who played with the Broncos from 2005 to 2008, railed against the NFL, NFL Players Association, the NFL combine and commissioner Roger Goodell on his Twitter feed on Thursday, saying — among other things — that major hits he took in 2007 against the Tennessee Titans and Kansas City Chiefs while in Denver were misdiagnosed.
"Every player understood the risks of playing football, and we did it, and would do it over again!" Abdullah said on Twitter (warning: NSFW), before deleting that and many other messages laced with anger and profanity. "We just thought (and) assumed we would be taken care of after we were done.
"The reason players cover their injuries up, is because the contracts aren't guaranteed."

As we try to settle back in to our life,
everything feels so similar, almost comfortable...
but somehow surprisingly different...
I guess we are still trying to find a new "normal"...
But this is about as 'normal' as it gets around here!
STRAPPED tightly into their highchairs,
giggling at my silly lunch-making antics...
like Peanut Butter & Jelly Peek-a-Boo.
These two little stinkers are like two peas in a pod!
B follows his big bro around all day, just starstruck.
Mimicking every motion and gesture. Repeating the inflection of every phrase.
Eager to be on to the newest mischevious adventure.
D eats it up.
Loves to be the center of attention. Loves to be adored.
Such a pair.
Oh, what would I do without the TWO of them!

How to Load Your Vehicle for Camping
Getting ready for a camping trip involves lots of packing — clothes, camping gear, food and cooking equipment, as well as sport and game equipment. When it comes to loading up your vehicle, use the following guidelines:
|Place all camp gear, coolers, food, and fuel in the trunk. Stow
liquids carefully so that they don't tip.
|Don't forget the goodie bag full of play stuff to keep
restless travelers happy.
|Use a car rack to handle overflow from the trunk. Never pack
camp gear inside the passenger compartment; preserve that space for
comfortable travel. If necessary, rent a larger vehicle.
|Attach removable sun screens to the inside rear windows.
|Take blanket and pillows inside the car as nap-aids.
|Carry a litter bag within easy reach of all travelers. Dispose
of litter at each pit stop.
|Put maps (carefully marked with the route) within easy reach of
the driver or navigator.
|Keep extra clothing inside, like jackets if you're going
to higher elevations. Those extra layers will make you more
comfortable at rest stops.
|Keep coins handy for tolls.
|Stow boats on the roof rack.
|Keep a small cooler inside the car loaded with drinks and
snacks. Toss a few old towels nearby to soak up spills and cover
hot seats.
|Stow bikes on the rack, too. No room? Rent one of those special
bike racks for rear mounting.

The Cougars led from start to finish in game one, picking up a single run each in the first two innings, and carrying from there. CSU's Jordan Villhauer (5-1) combined with Cameron Griffin and Hart Mizell for the shutout, surrendering just three hits while fanning 13.
Centerfielder Ikaika Anderson (Austell, Ga.) picked up two of the three knocks for Georgia College, going 2-for-3. Righty starter Justin Blue (Mulberry, Fla.) tossed five innings in the loss (7-3), allowing five earned runs.
The Bobcats took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of game two, as Daniel Bick (Alpharetta, Ga.) reached on an error, eventually scoring on a wild pitch.
The advantage was doubled to 2-0 in the fifth when Clay Ardeeser (Loganville, Ga.) singled home Anderson, who led the inning with a double.
Columbus State plated all three runs in the bottom of the eighth, getting a run scoring single, and RBI double and taking the lead on a wild pitch. The Bobcats had the tying and go-ahead runs on base in the top of the ninth, but hit into a double play to end the contest.
Righty starter Matt LaMothe (Troy, Mich.) held CSU in check until the eighth, finishing with 7 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on just five hits and fanning seven in the loss (5-3). CSU reliever Hart Mizell (2-1) got the win in two innings of work.

Blyth Inc. Is NYSE's Most Hated Stock: Should It Be Your Most Loved?
If short interest as a percent of equity float is an indicator of popularity, Blyth Inc. (BTH) is the most hated stock on the NYSE. However, an in-depth look into the company reveals some key factors that may create an extremely positive risk reward. The market is currently offering shares at unsustainably low valuation, four times management's 2013 cash flow guidance. Pessimism toward the company is extreme with 75% of the current float short. Management is aggressively repurchasing shares of the company. 14% of the equity float has been repurchased in the last three quarters at higher stock prices than today. The company has repositioned its balance sheet resulting in nearly five years prior to its senior notes maturing. The company's largest business segment and the focus of the short sellers, appears to be turning a corner. Now may be the perfect time to become a contrarian and invest in Blyth Inc.

This holiday season, throw a company party they'll be talking about all year long. It doesn't have to cost a fortune. What it really takes is the same thoughtful planning and attention to detail that you put into everything you do at the office!
The Invitations
Sure, you could simply send out an email announcement, but an invitation sets the tone of your party and makes it feel more special. After all, this isn't a meeting they're expected to attend—it's a celebration. A chance for everyone to unwind and celebrate the season together. So start by creating an invitation that sets the mood.
You can create festive invitations in just minutes using a free download of Holiday Pre-designed Templates for the Avery Design and Print Online Software and Avery Note Cards.
Decorations that Set the Mood
A memorable party doesn't require expensive flowers or complicated entrees. What's important is setting the right tone. So create your own warm and inviting decorations.
- Party Favours—a small gift is a great way to make memories linger. Buy each guest a small box of chocolates or a holiday candle. Print each guest's name and a holiday greeting on an Avery Specialty Label. Then attach the tag to your gift. Hand each guest their party favour before they leave.
- A customized tablecloth—If you're setting a buffet table, why settle for a plain white tablecloth, when you can easily customize it. You can add a simple thought like "Hillford Happy Holidays" or do something more elaborate with graphics or photos. It's a breeze when you use Avery Fabric Transfers. Then use the same design to create coordinated place-mats.
- Personalized place cards—If you're planning a sit-down dinner, create a festive setting for each guest. Buy some small and inexpensive holiday decorations at your local craft store. Little Santas, reindeer and holiday balls would work fine. Print each guest's name in a decorative typeface on Avery Clean Edge® Business Cards. Then glue a decoration to each card for a personalized and fun place setting.
- Gift Exchange—Have everyone bring his or her wrapped present. Then, using Avery Clean Edge Business Cards, print every guest's name on a separate card. Put the cards in a box or bowl and let each guest draw a card to determine who gets their present.
Just remember, it's often the small touches that create a lasting impression, so plan ahead to create a celebration that's warm, wonderful and very memorable.

Politics & Government
Tracking how stimulus is spent won't be easy, GAO finds
WASHINGTON — Despite President Barack Obama's pledge that the $787 billion in economic stimulus money will be subject to "unprecedented accountability," many state officials worry that they lack the resources to oversee properly how their share of the money is being spent, a report Thursday from Congress' watchdog agency said.
With states slated to receive about $49 billion in fiscal 2009, the current budget year, mostly for health, transportation and education programs, the Government Accountability Office found that the biggest concern was keeping track of the money. The GAO evaluated 16 states and the District of Columbia.
"Officials in most of the states and the district expressed concerns regarding the lack of (stimulus) funding provided for accountability and oversight," the study found. Because of their own budget shortfalls, the GAO said, "many states reported significant declines in the number of oversight staff — limiting their ability to ensure proper implementation and management of (stimulus) funds."
Obama administration officials have made following the money an important part of the stimulus program.
Vice President Joe Biden, who's responsible for leading the oversight of the stimulus, responded quickly to the GAO report. In a letter to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which was to hold a hearing on the report Thursday, Biden pledged "solution development."
That didn't calm many lawmakers. Chairman Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., said "implementation challenges exist," while House Republican leader John Boehner of Ohio found that the report confirmed his long-standing fear.
"This report makes clear what Republicans have been warning about for months," Boehner said. "Many states do not have the ability to ensure that stimulus dollars are spent wisely."
Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., put the problem in earthier terms, using the government's weatherization program as an example.
"There will be scandalous stories across the country with the weatherization program," she said. "We are going to give (it) so much money and it will be contracted out. Who are they hiring? Who's checking to see there are internal controls?"
In its report, the GAO found that officials in nine of the states were worried about how they'd track jobs created by the stimulus.
The report also gave a detailed look at spending. About two-thirds of this year's state aid will go to health programs, since medical needs tend to be more immediate, while transportation will consume a bigger chunk of funding in years to come as highway and rail projects near completion.
The states studied have used about 47 percent of their health-care funding so far this year, but usage varied widely. Colorado had used none of its money, while New Jersey had used two-thirds. Florida had used 59 percent, and North Carolina had used 63 percent.
Most of the stimulus money, the GAO found, was used to help "populations that are sensitive to economic downturns, including children and families, and to offset their state general fund deficits, thereby avoiding layoffs and other measures detrimental to economic recovery." Those people are helped through Medicaid, the joint federal-state program that serves lower-income people, some elderly and those with disabilities.
Republicans complained that the GAO findings showed, as Senate Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander of Tennessee put it, "the so-called stimulus . . . was permanent spending on social services that will never come out of the federal budget."
Many of the states have set up mechanisms to monitor spending, and some have named "recovery czars."
There are potential problems, however. In Colorado, for instance, the GAO found that the state health-care policy and financing agency has had three different controllers in four years and the field audit staff has been cut in half.
In New Jersey, the GAO found, "no additional staff will be hired to help" deal with new highway projects.
In Arizona, "state officials expressed some concerns about the ability of rural, tribal and some private entities such as boards, commissions and nonprofit organizations to manage, especially if the Recovery Act does not provide administrative funding."
Even if they're trying, states are confused about what to track.
"Officials from several of the states we met with expressed a need for clearer definitions of 'jobs retained' and 'jobs created,' " the GAO said.
"Officials from a few states expressed the need for clarification on how to track indirect jobs, while others expressed concern about how to measure the impact of funding that is not designed to create jobs."

How to Start
The Eastern Iowa Small Business Development Center cultivates and nurtures entrepreneurs throughout our area. We are in the business of creating business.
Entrepreneurship is a set of skills completely separate from management. Some entrepreneurs possess management skills, but what differentiates them from managers are two very important skills:
- The ability to question and create
- The ability to overcome failure and adapt.
Entrepreneurs are not driven by the resources at hand, they are driven by the idea they want to achieve. Our job is to help them find the resources they need to achieve their ideas.
If you are driven by ambition, willing to work hard and not afraid to try, try again, download our "How to Start" materials and get going! After you have reviewed the materials and completed the "Business Plan Inventory". If you feel you are ready for counseling, complete the "Request for Counseling" form linked below.

let's just all sit here a minute, and whatever it is you're listening to right now (*1), just drop back and slide into that, focus on every little detail of the (song or) story it's imparting to you.
- you know what, to be candid about it, that second night on the nine-athon finished with me six down, two to go and thinking i'd really blown the chance to go anywhere with it, had allowed to mjuch of it just to become ambient wallpaper as i lost myself in (of all things (*2)) lego; my daughter is now five very precocious and exceptionally quick-to-catch-on years old and living through some fast hard times, as are we all, life in the household being very much still centred around one room with one still point, injured whippet #1 (*3). one adult has to be on duty with him at all times to make sure he doesn't jump onto the sofa or (worse) assay an entry to the staircase. one might think this would be unbearable, but not (strangely enough) for someone who hasn't been stoned in six months but who is now almost literally "living the dream" (*4)... anyway, our lil centette has truly discovered the joys of lego friends this xmas, and since i have had to do the making-and-building heavy-lifting on those bigger jobs, i myself have rediscovered lego in a big way (*5). (*6) this proved sufficiently fascinating that a few hours of intensive online research (*7) saw the
- but that was then. the next day, well - i carried on getting quietly and illicitly blasted and got some "me-time" in the afternoon while mrs c whisked the junior whirlwind out of the house to give whippet uno some peace (*8), and i had very possibly the most interesting and satisfying hot bath i have ever experienced... i emerged from that with my head absolutely ablaze with fresh(ly-reexamined) ideas - this not being a strange occurrence for me per se - yet calm, blissed-out if anything, rather than hypermanic (this being my usual default mode when in the middle of a "hot streak");
- and later on, the last two ninetets went down as smoothly and as fierily as a brace of the subtlest cognacs or single-malt whiskies. 'cos by that point, i understood the value of the whole experiment, and saw it slotted into its [place among [everything else.
the implications - and indeed explications - of all these still-being-spun-out ruminations, meditations and cogitations are such that they themselves require a further two posts, sub-manifesti if we must, just to detail-spell and record them accurately. so that's obviously next next;
- and then next after that is non-reheated leftovers, in the shape(s) of venezia bienniale, comp. 23c-go-round and last-but-not-least reeds-n-bass pt 2. (and in due course the top end of the-rest-of-that-list, time and will and lego permitting...) this will be followed by more (un)expected, (half-)hinted work as and when it appears.
ah, but i missed one out. there was something else - ?
lissen up, thosefuckers in the rich-and-miserable game have had it all their own way for as long as any of us on earth can crememeber and they have a hell of a lot to answer for. i'm confident that you and i can pretty much agree on that one... (*10). but what if we all went and had a really good and productive 2014 instead?
- see you in the mix,

The cleanliness of the air you breathe inside your home is very important. Indoor air pollution is one of the biggest, yet often overlooked problems in our society today. Every day activities such as walking, vacuuming and dusting stir up millions of particulates in your home. These particulates often include pollen, dust mite, pet dander, mold spores, debris, bacteria, and even viruses. All of these airborne pollutants can cause serious and even detrimental effects on your immune system. Fortunately, there is a solution. Air cleaners have been proven to be very beneficial to your overall health. They reduce allergies, sinus problems, respiratory issues, and even have been shown to help you sleep better at night.
Whole house air purification systems are especially recommended for better air quality inside of your home. Although there are different types of whole house air purification systems, the Trion Duct Mount HE Plus 1400 can be especially useful. The Trion Duct Mount HE 1400 is recognized for having the strongest cabinets, most reliable power supplies and the sturdiest cells within the industry.
The Trion HE Plus 1400 is designed to mount to the duct work in your heating and cooling system. It allows recirculated air to pass through the cleaner and prevents airborne contaminants from being constantly recirculated throughout your home. In addition, it captures 95% of airborne pollutants as small as 0.1 microns in size, and comes with a three year limited warranty.
Don't let indoor air pollution be a problem in your home. Get the Trion HE Plus 1400 and ensure that you are indeed getting a breath of fresh air for you and your family.

It strikes me as somewhat ironic that I sat down to write a(nother) post apologising for my slackness in the blogging department of late, only to remember that I was recently named in the "Prolific Blogger Awards" by my friend Debbie Cowens.Yes, it has in fact been a month since I last posted here, so no, I don't really deserve an award that suggests I blog an awful lot. A year ago that was so. But a lot has happened in the past year.
My excuse this month for not blogging has been quite simple: I have had far more important writing work to get done. There are only so many hours in the day and writing fiction has been taking up most of my time when I'm not working or being a family guy. There, excuses made and moving on.
Nonetheless, I'm not one to turn down a prize. I believe there are cream buns at the awards ceremony, so I won't be doing myself out of free cream buns.
The idea is that I must go on to praise seven other bloggers (yeah, it's not the most exclusive of clubs) and give them the same award. At last count, there were at least 150 other registered winners. Seems to me a bit like one of those lotteries you get in the mailbox that promises you've already won, but I'm not going to let that worry me. Cream buns, man!
Unfortunately, I'm fairly sure that most of the bloggers I read don't read me back, and Debbie has already chosen most of the good ones who do. Full cred to Jenni, Morgue, and Tim for getting their invitation to eat cream buns with us.
I'll add a few more to the list, bloggers who really are prolific and whom I think will actually read this post:
Off-Black - Random musings of a 30-something guy from The Hutt;
Undulating Ungulate - Also random but somewhat darker musings of the mildly anarchic, in the nicest possible way;
The Alligator Love - The trials and tribulations of a chef in Washington State, USA, just trying to find a way back to NZ before his car really eats him;
and last but not least...
Strong-light - More slice of life stuff from Morgue's better half; short, sweet and to the point.
Prolific Blogger Award Rules | ONE: Every winner is expected to pass on this award to at least seven other deserving prolific bloggers. | TWO: Each Prolific Blogger is asked to link to the blog from which he/she has received this award. | THREE: Every Prolific Blogger is asked to link back to this post, which explains the origins of the award. | FOUR: Every Prolific Blogger is asked to visit the post listed in rule #3 and add his/her name to the "Mr. Linky" at the bottom.
Just like Debbie, I don't expect the above prolific bloggers to list seven bloggers, unless they wish to do so. :-)
