The Six Most Irritating Ways to Use Hashtags on Twitter
November 30, 2012
Written by
Jasmine Henry
at 15:00
Isn't Twitter just for B2C marketers and teens? Hardly.
84 per cent of B2B marketers
are now using social media in one form or another. A major survey of CMOs found that in the next five years, marketers expect to spend nearly 20 per cent of their budget on social media. If you're going to be taking the plunge into
using Twitter to promote your small business
, or you've already gotten started on the network, ensure learning hashtag etiquette is high on your list.
Way back in
spring 2007
when Twitter was an infant among social media networks, the hashtag was introduced as a way to categorize user-generated content. There was an initial, negative reaction from early adopters of the platform who thought the tag looked awkward and ugly. The tags didn't catch on until October 2007, when they became a convenient way to share emergency-related information about the San Diego fires. In 2012, hashtags are a powerful way to participate in conversations and search for information. Just please make sure you're not guilty of any of the following:
1. The Hashtag Addiction
Even the founder of hashtags thinks they're way overused.
Chris Messina does
, and he's generally acknowledged as the guy who "brought hashtags out of the geekosphere." Why should we care? Well, for starters it's pretty annoying and difficult to read:
Social Media blogger
Will Coley
expresses concern that tweets with way too many hashtags aren't just annoying, they're confusing and scary: "I am concerned that overusing hashtags keeps Twitter in the geekosphere and scares off people who aren't yet using this great tool."
Mashable recommends
you keep your usage to two tags or less per tweet whenever possible.
2. Irrelevant Usage
Do you tag each and every tweet with #SMM (social media marketing), even if you're actually just sharing a picture of your lunch? Well, cut it out. There are few things more irritating to someone trying to participate in dialogue than unrelated, self-promotional use.
3. The Longest Hashtag Ever
There's now a law about how long your hashtags should be. The maximum length of a tweet is 140 characters, and you could theoretically use all 139 to create your own hashtag. But for the love of Twitter, please don't. Three to four words is optimal for readability, and be sure to capitalize the first letter of each word, known as employing camel case.
4. Self-Promotional Hashtagging
If you've already said it, you don't need to say it again. That includes using a hashtag for social media in the body and again at the end of the tweet.
Tagging each and every tweet with your own
self-made hashtag
can come across as amateurish. If your company name is clearly related to your username and your company is briefly explained in your bio, you don't need to tag the content with your company name again.
5. Hashjacking
Jumping into a preexisting conversation about a trending hashtag to promote your product or services is probably going to come across as really tacky. Unless you can
add something of value to the dialogue
or completely understand the trending topic, try and stay out of it.
6. Hashtag Sampling
You've seen it before. Misusing a trending hashtag can damage a personal or company brand. Rewind to early July, 2011. A grand jury had just deemed there was insufficient evidence that Casey Anthony had murdered her two-year-old daughter, and many Twitter users were expressing their opinions with the #NotGuilty hashtag. Whether or not they were attempting humor or were just really in the dark, baked goods manufacturer Entenmann's issued the following tasteless tweet in response to the trending topic:
Uproar immediately erupted
and the company's followers were shocked. The brand issued an apology quickly:
Though their apology was right-on, the damage was done. The brand was perceived as insensitive and the example was curated among the worst PR mistakes since the invention of the hashtag. Of course someone even initiated an "Entenmann's PR" parody Twitter account.

Home Faqs
Frequently Asked Questions
WHO PICKS MY PRODUCE?Your produce is picked by our staff of personal shoppers. They are regularly trained in a hands-on produce course to ensure the highest quality selection.
DO I NEED TO BE PRESENT AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY?Yes, someone over the age of 18 must be present. If someone over the age of 18 isn't present at the time of delivery, your driver will return your items and issue a refund to the credit card used, less any delivery and/or convenience fees. If your order contains alcoholic beverages, tobacco products or other age-restricted items, someone over the age of 21 must be present to accept and sign for the delivery. Valid (non-expired, government issued) identification confirming the age of the person signing for the delivery or pick up of any age-restricted items is required where that person reasonably appears to be under the age of 50. If you do need to reschedule a delivery, you must contact our Customer Care team at least two hours prior to the beginning of your scheduled delivery window in order to avoid any additional fees.
CAN I GET DELIVERY THE SAME DAY?Yes, we have same-day delivery with as little as two-hour notice. However, delivery slots are filled on a first-come-first-served basis, so at peak periods two-hour and/or same-day delivery may not be available.
DO YOU HAVE ONE-HOUR DELIVERY WINDOWS?Yes. With our one-hour delivery windows you can schedule a delivery at a time that suits you. We know you're busy, so we'll make sure you're not waiting around all day. Our innovative GPS-based technology will send you a SMS text message when your driver is approximately ten minutes away from reaching your delivery address.
CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO A SUBMITTED ORDER?Yes, however, at this time, orders cannot be edited online. You will need to contact our Customer Care team to make changes to your order. Changes must be made no later than two hours prior to the beginning of your scheduled delivery window. Please note that changing your delivery date may affect prices and promotions. Also, promotional codes can not be added to an already submitted order.
IS THERE A MINIMUM ORDER AMOUNT?No, there is not a minimum order amount. Note that some promotions require minimum purchases.
HOW MUCH IS THE DELIVERY FEE?The delivery fee is based on the distance and driving time from our store to your home. Delivery fees typically range from $4 to $12 and may vary depending on the time of day.
WHY DOES MY ORDER CONFIRMATION SAY THAT PRICES ARE ESTIMATES ONLY?The prices quoted at the time of your online order are estimated prices only. The actual order value cannot be determined until the day of delivery because of variations in product weights (e.g. variable weight items such as produce), available prices between the date you submit your order and the date/time your order is filled and delivered, substitutions, taxes, bottle deposits and item availability.
HOW DO YOU KEEP MY GROCERIES FRESH?Your order is picked and delivered straight to you, door-to-door, typically from the our aisles to your home in less than an hour. Each one of our personal shoppers uses insulated bags and coolers to ensure your perishable items arrive in the best possible condition.
CAN I PLACE A DELIVERY ORDER FOR SOMEONE ELSE?Certainly. At checkout, you can specify a different delivery address. This is helpful if you want to order groceries for a parent, friend or a student away at college. You can arrange the delivery at no cost to your receipient.
CAN I FIND ALL THE PRODUCTS ONLINE THAT I BUY IN THE STORE?At present, we do not have all the items in our store on the site. However, if you do not find something on the site that you know is in store you may add it to special requests and the end of checkout.
HOW DO I PAY FOR MY ORDER?We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover cards. Cash, personal checks, and other charge accounts are currently not accepted.
WHAT HAPPENS IF AN ITEM IS OUT OF STOCK?Occasionally, we may run out of an item. At checkout we ask you if you would like us to attempt to substitute a similar item. You always have the option of returning a substituted item for a full refund. If you are dissatisfied with an item when it is delivered, notify your driver, and he/she will return it and your credit card will receive a refund for the price charged for the item. If an item is missing from your order, you have 48 hours from the time of delivery to notify Customer Care for a full refund. Note that certain items, including alcoholic beverages, baby formula and tobacco products cannot be returned or refunded once you have accepted delivery.
DO YOU DELIVER TO BUSINESSES?Yes! Many businesses use this service to stock their break rooms with beverages, fruit, energy bars and other snacks. Business customers also order party trays for working lunches and company events. Our business delivery fees are the same as residential delivery fees.
IS MY PERSONAL INFORMATION KEPT CONFIDENTIAL?Yes, your personal information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. All payment cards that remain on file for quick checkout are stored by our financial institution and not stored in any store systems.
DO YOU HAVE A SMARTPHONE APP FOR SHOPPING ON THE GO?Not at this time, but our website is designed to work well on mobile-sized screens.
CAN I RETURN UNSATISFACTORY OR UNWANTED ITEMS?If you are dissatisfied with an item when it is delivered, notify your driver, and he/she will return it to the store and your credit card will receive a refund. Upon delivery, you will be provided with the a receipt. If your driver is no longer present, you can return the items directly to our store using the original receipt. Note that, depending on particular policy regarding the item returned and the date of purchase, we may only issue store credit in refund rather than issue a cash refund to your credit card. Also note that delivery times are not guaranteed and convenience fees and delivery fees are not refundable.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF PART OF MY DELIVERY IS INCORRECT?If you receive an incorrect order, please notify your driver upon delivery and you will receive an appropriate refund. If your driver is no longer present, please contact our Customer Care team. To receive a refund for an issue with an order and/or delivery, you must contact us within 48 hours of your delivery.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE?We strive to make your shopping experience quick, convenient and simple. If at any time your expectations are not being met, please reach out to our Customer Care team and we'll do our best to make it right.
CAN YOU SHIP MY ORDER TO ME?We offer local in-store pickup and/or delivery within our community. Unfortunately, we are unable to otherwise ship products.

I currently serve families in San Antonio, Texas (Bexar County) and surrounding counties for homebirths. I will also have privileges at the new birth center opening soon (early 2011) in the NC/Stone Oak area of San Antonio. At present, all prenatal and postpartum appointments are in the comfort of your own home unless other arrangements are made.
I have been a midwife for many years and have had the honor of attending over 400 births. My midwifery journey began in Germany back in 1985. I have also had years of experience as a birth doula, childbirth educator, and I worked many years in labor/delivery and postpartum units in hospitals. In addition to being a midwife, I am also an instructor for biology (primarily anatomy and physiology) at both a local community college as well as the Association of Texas Midwives Midwifery Training Program. I train new midwives clinically as well!
I am also a mother and a grandmother, having one son, five daughters (including twins!), one daugher-in-law, one grandson and one granddaughter and another grandbaby on the way due mid-summer 2011!
For more info, please look me up at www.multipleblessingschildbirth.com or email me at email@example.com.

State's Official Fall Foliage Color Reports Begin September 12 Albany, N.Y. - Okay, while we cannot say with absolute certainty that New York State has more leaves than anyone else, we can say that we believe New York's foliage bounty and beauty make it the most desirable autumn travel destination for "Leaf Peepers" nationwide. And it is a fact that New York State has almost as many acres of broad-leaved trees (which help give the region's foliage a spectacular color range) as the rest of the Northeast combined. The change in colors, from the greens of summer to the brilliant reds, oranges and yellows of fall, draws thousands of leaf lovers to the state's roadways and waterways, hiking and biking trails, small towns, scenic vistas, country fairs and harvest festivals every year. Starting Wednesday, September 12 I LOVE NEW YORK's Fall Foliage Color Report will be distributed weekly and continue until the end of the foliage season in early November. Each Wednesday throughout the season, reports are posted on iloveny.com/fall, ensuring that visitors can get the latest information on foliage conditions in each region of the state. When the leaves hit their peak, there's nothing better than a drive in the country. New York's mountainsides are a fiery display set against crystalline blue skies and are the perfect backdrop for an array of fun activities, including seasonal festivals celebrating everything from apples to garlic, farm stands with the freshest fruits and vegetables, and great local theater and music. Whether you prefer discovering antique treasures or getting lost in a corn maze while you eat your warm cider donuts - it's all up to you. In the Finger Lakes region, enjoy the autumn scenery while taking a leisurely drive to a charming winery or small antique shop, then head out onto a lake for a boat cruise and get a different perspective of the leaves. Visit a historic lighthouse and check out fall food stops, like a local cider mill, in the Thousand Islands-Seaway region. In the Hudson Valley take in the breathtaking landscapes -- by bike or car-- that inspired a generation of artists, and then indulge in the culinary delights at one of the region's renowned restaurants. Stroll the sands of Long Island's famous beaches or enjoy one of its seasonal festivals, such as the Oyster Festival in October. In the Capital-Saratoga region, you'll delight in the patchwork quilt landscapes that inspired folk artist Grandma Moses and marvel at the showcase of 18th to 21st century architecture in the capital city of Albany. An idyllic mix of waterfalls, enchanting mountains, lush forests and sparkling streams await you in the Catskills region, while the Adirondacks region provides countless hiking opportunities within a six million acre wilderness. Autumn beauty greets visitors in the Greater Niagara region, home to the mighty falls as well as Letchworth State Park, a.k.a. "the Grand Canyon of the East," while the beautiful natural landscape of the Chautauqua-Allegheny region offers endless outdoor activity with scenic trails, serene waters, nature centers, and New York's largest state park. Autumn is also the perfect time to explore the rich history, geological wonders and cultural opportunities of Central New York. New York State's vast area means that you can enjoy peak conditions several times during the season in different parts of the state. The change in color from the bright greens of summer to the brilliant hues of fall follows a predictable pattern: It begins high in the Adirondack and Catskill mountains in late August and early September, and spreads out and down across the hills and valleys of the state, ending on Long Island and in New York City in early November. It takes about two weeks for the colors to complete their cycles in any given area, with peak brilliance lasting three to four days in any one spot. The foliage report includes a detailed map charting fall color progress, vantage points for viewing spectacular foliage and weekly event listings so you can plan your visit to one of New York State's 11 vacation regions accordingly.

Plan Press Maintenance to Avoid Unplanned Downtime
As the U.S. manufacturing sector rebounds from the recession, metalformers face several obstacles to maintaining efficient and cost-effective press-shop maintenance and repair schedules. These obstacles can create a critical pinch point that can lead to extended, unplanned downtime—and expensive repair costs. Learning from recent critical situations at other facilities, and understanding the root causes, can help stamping operations create a plan to minimize their own risks.
These obstacles are local as well as global in nature. Locally, press production requirements have increased while many press components have become obsolete. And, these presses often are allowed limited downtime for maintenance. In addition, most press shops are supported by a reduced post-recession stock of spare parts, with fewer skilled people available to work on the equipment.
Globally, we see increased demand for press-system controls and components required for maintenance and repair. This increased demand has created in some cases extremely long lead times to obtain replacement components, as long as several months. Such delays make it virtually impossible to respond quickly to emergency situations.
In the event of a catastrophic failure of a key press component, the component may need to be reengineered due to obsolescence, in order to be replaced and retrofitted. What seems like a quick fix can become an extended delay, due to the need to design a robust solution for a component no longer available.
What can a company do to mitigate its risk? Here are a few tips to keep your presses running at peak performance.
Predict the Future, and Plan
Every press shop is unique in terms of equipment, equipment age and the demands placed upon that equipment. By working with experienced press builders and OEMs, equipped with the required documentation and engineering expertise, companies can set objectives to address a specific situation:
• Identify parts at risk
• Identify/eliminate phantom problems
• Verify software integrity
• Verify system safety
Going through this process, a metalformer can identify the information necessary to develop a critical part- or unit-exchange program based on the current environment; set maintenance work instructions with a schedule; and establish preventive-maintenance inspection protocols to mitigate the risk of extended downtime.
Prepare for Obsolescence to Save Money
Every part has a life cycle. For example, press electrical components have a life of seven to 10 yr. As new technologies are developed, old ones become obsolete. In new press systems, these components often are designed differently, or even removed altogether. What is an acceptable time for this component to be out of commission? Understanding and preparing for obsolescent parts is crucial to maintaining uptime.
Identifying press components that are obsolete and no longer available can help a metalformer schedule modifications and adjustments in advance of a problem. Lacking a direct replacement for an obsolete component, stampers should plan the required engineering changes in order for the equipment to accept an alternative component. Not only will such planning allow a company to budget for related costs of such projects,, but it also allows a company to maintain optimum press uptimes by scheduling the repairs during regular downtimes.
Metalformers often can leverage system similarities and identify critical components across the continent, or even the globe, to ensure quick response. Creating a common-parts exchange program with an OEM, for example, can make it easier to respond to service needs. For example, if a common architecture is not already present with your company, such architecture can be planned for press-safety systems, automation equipment, drives, cushions, controls, etc. This practice will make a system relatively future-proof and increase response time when service or repair is needed. Also, we reduce pressline downtime and avoid costly part-production delays.
Critical Situations
The service life of several common components (mechanical and electrical) recently has plagued the uptime of several press shops. Such components should be assessed for future obsolescence (see the table, Suggested Components to Assess for Planned Obsolescence).
For example, delivery time of a particular pump used in one press shop recently increased from six weeks to as long as 12 months. Yet another stamper found that when a motor was no longer being manufactured, it faced a lead time of more than 16 weeks to get its press back up and running, accounting for engineering time, the time needed to update specifications, and additional onsite assistance. And in yet another instance, a stamper found that a minor component used in a press electrical system no longer was being manufactured. This led to reengineering of a used component to employ as a retrofit—a solution that took 12 weeks to develop and implement.
Bear in mind that timely supply of replacement parts is not completely under the control of the component suppliers. The extended time to obtain a replacement part can be due to technology changes, high demand or new part designs. Critical components to evaluate include PLC controls, motors/ drives, electrical components, pumps, valves and seals.
Develop and Execute a Plan with Support
It is important for NAFTA-region press shops to act now. The first step to avoiding unplanned downtime is to start with an equipment assessment by a press expert for the entire operation. From this assessment, create a maintenance plan that identifies common problem areas and anticipates the need for part or subsystem replacement. By using this strategy, companies can plan downtime to repair parts that may become at risk during high-output periods. In fact, this enables service providers to preorder parts with long lead times, and schedule time for press rebuilds or overhauls for outdated components.Proper planning prevents expensive panic, so plan for the future by conducting routine PM inspections to assess your vulnerability to obsolete press-system parts. This is not a new concept; the approach has worked in the past and has reduced the amount of lost uptime. Equipment assessment is a part of continuous improvement, allowing a company to define critical areas and develop an action plan to reduce risk. MF

Can someone please send me a link to these hpp 17mm hexes very interested in the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
I have ordered just about all the same parts as Scanaris for my steering upgrade. Can't wait till they get here next week. That HiTec servo is incredible! 403oz of torque at 6v, wow. I hope it all works very well for you, I cant wait for your review to come, lol. So I just spent about $350 just to upgrade my steering system. Next is driveline. I will soon have a $3,000 Summit!
Edit: Over a month now with nothing from OP, hmm. I was really hoping for the videos of the new steering system. Hope all is well.
Last edited by redskull56; 03-24-2012 at 08:14 PM.
I finished my steering upgrade, as I said I used pretty much all the same parts as referenced in the previous posts by Scaniris. A couple of things to note; I used the ST Racing Concepts Servo Linkage Bracket, as Golden Horizons was out of stock. Even though this bracket is describes as being machined to allow for "extra" steering travel, I had a problem with it not allowing the steering arm to move all the way to full left or right steering. I removed some material but the problem seems to lie in the design itself. I ended up using the stock part for now. Other than that everything seems very good, very strong and solid. And the servo, WOW, talk about torque! Have to be careful that you don't hit the stops and twist your chassis in half, lol. Havent had a chance to run it yet other than on the bench.

Pretty much the best upgrade I have made on mine... When I want it to turn I need it to turn now.it does

hey guys off topic but does traxxas make a reciver box small enought to fit it where the steering/front diff lock servo is ?
just to idolize space
Yes, the ones on the mini's would certainly fit there.
That kind of hockey reference does not fly here. Please watch the language.

ok, so I have spent that last 2 days reading this fourm, ON MY CELL PHONE cuz i dont have internet, and his build isn't finished and he never told us what parts he liked and disliked Has anyone talked to him lately and found out whats the status?
Well I went through a few sets of stock a few after market sets went single metal geared high torque and no issues for at least a year now.
no fighting for center no working against each other.
one dies and the other kills it self trying to push it as well as turn the wheels
Sent from my iPhone using My fingers
Mountains cant stop me
they have tried
So if a person has two good servos in working condition is two better then one?
Ive been thinking about changing mine out (when they break) to some metal geared servos and runnig two. So in that case is two better then one. My steering is all stock and has no mods. Or should i go and convert it to a single servo?
Well, the servos fighting each other is the biggest thing. But going to a single is not a must. It is in my opinion the best route. But, there are cons. I don't know of any servo strong enough to run single on a Summit that is waterproof like the stock ones. Water "friendly" maybe. Alot of folks switch to two HiTec waterproof, which provide considerable more torque than stock and still stay waterproof. If you go single get one that puts out at the very least 300oz of torque. These high quality servos can get expensive. I paid $150 for my servo (486oz torque), and have about $350 total in my steering system.
I like the one servo idea. Better one than two i think. I try to PM you redskill56 but you do not accept pm? I see no way to send pm in the profile? Anyway, I want to ask the opinion of the parts, and if you can help me out with problem i have with stering travel, as you mention.
NOOB QUESTION will the stock esc support lipo?
That's not a noob question. Answer: It depends. Do you got the newest TQi Summit?
My Summit summits.
It says directly on the ESC if it does in fact have the LVC.
no i got the tq not the tqi, but it said in the book that the version of the esc has lvd.
I had the option to get the tqi but since i use droid stuff not an iphone, i chose not to spend the extra 70 bucks that the store wanted
does anyone know what happened to Scaniris? I really wanted to see how his summit turned out
Same here he just kinda disappeared
Too bad I was looking forward to seeing it perform.it has to be the most expensive summit ever made that I know of.hope everything is ok with him
Seemed like a good guy

last time active at youtube was 22 juli Hmz where did he go?
He might be on vacation. A really long one.

Perhaps you have been wondering why a big chunk of the country has been without power for the last several days? Your answer: we were struck by a land hurricane. Yes, a land hurricane. For some reason, that sounds far more mysterious and menacing than a regular hurricane—sort of like a land shark is to a regular shark. A land hurricane is technically called a derecho, and, according to the National Weather Service, it is basically a huge windstorm accompanied by thunderstorms. They're powerful like tornadoes, but they don't twist in circles, instead they push a straight line of destruction though a wide swath of land. They're nicknamed land hurricanes because they have such massive wind gusts. Only, unlike regular hurricanes, they don't feed off of the water—they feed off of hot, humid weather over land. As you may have noticed, nearly the entire country is experiencing that exact type of weather as we speak, which explains why the derecho developed over the Midwest and swept all the way to the east coast earlier this weekend—killing at least nine people and leaving somewhere around three million people without electricity. In case you're wondering what the future is going to look like, here's a video someone shot when the derecho was plowing through Columbus, Ohio. Looks like it's time to invest in some lead boots and windproof all of our houses because our new weather reality is pretty terrifying and extremely gusty.

Universal Studios in Hollywood will raze the 41-year-old Gibson Amphitheatre to make way for its coming Harry Potter attraction, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Like the Wizarding World in Orlando, the Hollywood Harry Potter will be a theme park based on J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" books and the films made from them.
Also slated to fall under the advancing march of the boy wizard is Universal's Adventures of Curious George. The playland's current features include a 500-gallon water dump and flying foam balls.
In Potter's world, kids can expect to ride through Hogwarts castle, listen to a frog choir, drink nonalcoholic butterbeer and browse for gear at Ollivanders Wand Shop. At least, those are adventures offered by Florida's Wizarding World, which opened in June 2010. The park there is still being expanded, with a new Gringotts Ride and Diagon Alley in the works.
The Gibson Amphitheatre, which seats more than 6,100, has hosted events including the MTV Music Awards, the Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards, VH1 Honors, the Academy of Country Music Awards, HBO's Comic Relief, the NAACP Image Awards and KROQ-FM's annual "Almost Acoustic Christmas" show, Variety reports.
The luminaries who have appeared on its stage include musicians, politicians and even a pope (John Paul II). A partial list from Variety: the Beach Boys, Tony Blair, Mary J. Blige, David Bowie, George H.W. Bush, Louis C.K., Mariah Carey, George Carlin, Jimmy Carter, Johnny Cash, Cheech & Chong, Eric Clapton, Bill Clinton, Billy Crystal, the Dalai Lama, Miles Davis, Ellen DeGeneres, Bob Dylan, the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Gerald Ford, the Grateful Dead, Kathy Griffin, Chelsea Handler, Steve Harvey, Elton John, BB King, Jay Leno, George Lopez, Madonna, Bob Marley, Joni Mitchell, Eddie Murphy, Conan O'Brien, Barack Obama, Tom Petty, Chris Rock, Shakira, Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra, Steely Dan, James Taylor, Roger Waters, Lil' Wayne, Kanye West, Robin Williams and Stevie Wonder.
While the amphitheater's fate has been expected since the 2011 announcement that Harry Potter was coming to Universal Studios Hollywood, the date for its closure was not known. Shows scheduled there this fall will have to be moved to other venues. The plan for its demise was solidified after proposals for the expansion were approved by the L.A. City Council and the county Board of Supervisors.
The date for the opening of Universal Hollywood's Wizarding World of Harry Potter has not yet been announced.

As the White Sox drift out of the AL Central race, it's hard not to wonder if GM Kenny Williams will listen to offers on any of his starting pitchers. But longtime Williams watchers would be shocked if he deals anyone other than replaceable bullpen parts and possibly Paul Konerko."The thing you have to remember about Kenny is, he always expects to have a good team," said one rival GM. "If he doesn't think he can win this year, he still expects to win next year. So why would he move his [top four] starters? I don't see him doing that. He'll move a free agent, or bullpen guys he thinks are overpriced, because those guys are replaceable. But he can't replace a Gavin Floyd or a [Mark] Buehrle or a [John] Danks. So I don't see that one."
Meanwhile, one scout reports that he thinks rumors of Bobby Jenks' demise as a useful closer have been seriously overblown.
"I still think Bobby Jenks, with the right team, could bring them a decent return," the scout said. "His velocity is down a little, and he's throwing more two-seam fastballs. But I don't think his stuff has declined that much to where I'd think he can't close."
Bruce Levine expects Kenny to shop Jenks, Konerko, Pierzynski and Buehrle:
The Texas Rangers and Philadelphia Phillies have had the most scouts looking at the White Sox the past three weeks. The Rangers have a strong interest in Pierzynski. They feel he can bring intangibles to bring them to the next level. The Phillies' bullpen is in need of a power arm with experience, and no one fits that role on the Sox better than Jenks, especially with the injuries to Phillies closer Brad Lidge. …

Received this today via e-mail and got a grin out of it. Thanks Tom.
Katie Couric, Charlie Gibson, Brian Williams and a tough U.S. Marine Corporal were captured by terrorists in Iraq. The leader of the terrorists told them he'd grant each of them one last request before they were beheaded and dragged naked through the streets.
Katie Couric said, 'Well, I'm a Southerner, so I'd like one last plate of fried chicken.'
The leader nodded to an underling who left and returned with the chicken. Couric ate it all and said, 'Now I can die content.'
Charlie Gibson said, 'I'm living in' New York , so I'd like to hear the song, The Moon and Me, one last time.'
The terrorist leader nodded to another terrorist who had studied the Western world and knew the music. He returned with some rag-tag musicians and played the song.
Gibson was satisfied.
Brian Williams said, 'I'm a reporter to the end. I want to take out my tape recorder and describe the scene here and what's about to happen. Maybe, someday, someone will hear it and know that I was on the job till the end.'
The leader directed an aide to hand over the tape recorder and Williams dictated his comments.
He then said, 'Now I can die happy.'
The leader turned and asked, 'And now, Mr. U.S. Marine, what is your final wish?
'Kick me in the ass,' said the Marine.
'What?' asked the leader, 'Will you mock us in your last hour?'
'No, I'm NOT kidding. I want you to kick me in the ass,' insisted the Marine.
So the leader shoved him into the yard and kicked him in the ass. The Marine went sprawling, but rolled to his knees, pulled out a 9 mm pistol hidden from inside his Recon cammies and shot the leader dead. In the resulting confusion, he emptied his sidearm on six terrorists, then with his Ka-bar knife he slashed the throat of one, and with an AK-47, which he took, sprayed the rest of the terrorists killing another 11.
In a flash, all of them were either dead or fleeing for their lives.
As the Marine was untying Couric, Gibson, and Williams, they asked him, 'Why didn't you just shoot them all in the first place? Why did you ask him to kick you in the ass?'
'What?' replied the Marine, 'and have you three assholes report that I was the aggressor....?'
Semper Fi!

Last night's episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was fun except for the KimKyle-nanigans – that's shenanigans by Kim and Kyle, if you can't decipher the lingo. Kim, in addition to looking a hot mess and appearing hung over the entire trip also had Kyle taking every opportunity to argue with her; those two again managed to be completely inconsiderate to everyone, but luckily it ruined only Kyle's good time.
Things start out on a high note with Adrienne and Paul hiking and holding hands. Double take! I love Paul in middle-aged tourist gear. All he needs is a fannypack to go with Adrienne's "Visit The Palms, I need the money!" visor.
Kim finally arrives in Lanai! As for being late, "Oops" is all she has to say for herself. Kim is so excited to finally be there and unluckily gets placed in a room right next to Kyle. A frantic Kyle hears Kim's voice and ignores Mauricio and margaritas(!) to eavesdrop on Kim. In the talking head, Kim states: "I chose to not *coke sniff* to talk to Kyle." Nice.

Beautiful picture! What type of insect is that? This column is a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the nice review on the cables. I read alot of stuff on the net but you almost never see reviews for budget cables on the big boy websites. Keep it up!
The Entry Level #8
We were at Lucky 7, our favorite little bar in downtown Jersey City, and Natalie was shouting above the loud music.
"Cool!" I shouted back.
"Would you want to DJ?"
"WOULD YOU BE THE DJ AT MY BIRTHDAY PARTY?" She smiled brightly.
"Are you SERIOUS?"
A million wild thoughts raced through my vodka-soaked mindquestions and fears, desires and insecurities, all tangled up like the strings of lights haphazardly hung from the ceiling above our heads. I imagined myself as Rob, in Nick Hornby's High Fidelity, and almost started to sulk. How dare she give me the opportunity to do exactly what I would love to do?!
Suddenly, I was sober: I'd never DJ'd in public before. Natalie's birthday was only two weeks away. I thought about the records I would play; I wondered where I would find the necessary turntables, mixer, and headphones; I pictured beautiful women, possessed by the sounds of my music, dancing like mad; I imagined envious men, wishing they could be me; I saw myself spilling beer all over my turntable, the stylus leaping from the record's groove, the party coming to a tragic, horrible halt . . .
Natalie waited for my response, eyes wide and sparkling.
Searching for a way out, I finally replied: "Well, I don't know if I'd want to do it. I'm scared! What if I screwed up? What if I ruined your party?"
She gave me a look.
"I would be doing it for you," I continued. "I wouldn't be doing it for myself."
She was unmoved. "Will you? Do it for me?" she asked sweetly, without hesitation.
The place seemed to go strangely silent. Everyone in the bar stood still as Natalie's words echoed through my mind. Something inside me quivered. Aw, fuck, I thought. "Yes," I sighed. "I'll do it for you."
She squeezed my arm, dropped her head onto my lucky shoulder, and laughed. That was it: I could have died then and there, a happy man.
A call for help
A few days later, immediately after work, I raced to my favorite record store, Other Music, on East Fourth Street in Manhattan, and approached Daniel, the staff member on duty. "Hey, man, I need your help."
"Sure. What's up?"
"So, a good friend of mine is having a birthday party, and she wants me to DJ. It's going to be at a bar on a Saturday night. The place will be packed, and I've never done this before. I'm sort of freaking out."
Daniel smiled sympathetically. "What sort of stuff does she like?"
"She likes Cut/Copy, LCD Soundsystem, Yeasayer, stuff like that."
He nodded. "Alright."
"I'll definitely play that stuff, but this girl is beautiful and she's got a lot of hot friends, and I need some seriously badassheavyharddeep dance tracks." I punctuated each adjective by pounding my right fist into my left palm. "You know what I'm sayin'? We gotta make it sexy, Daniel."
Daniel got the picture. He set aside an enormous stack of CDs and led me over to the electronic section of the vinyl racks. "Let's see what we've got . . ."
He flipped thoughtfully through the racks, pulling out certain titles and briefly describing each. About 30 minutes later, I had a heavy stack of records tucked under one arm, and my questions and fears were beginning to fade. "Thank you so much, Daniel. I think you've just turned this party into a success."
"No problem," he smiled. "Good luck."
Though now armed, I was hardly ready: I'd have to somehow digest all this new music in time for the party. And back at home, I had a bunch of interconnects to evaluatethe perfect opportunity to become familiar with some dance tracks.
The forgotten component
Damned by exceptionally high prices (for some fine examples, see Henry Rollins's "As We See It" in this issue, and Michael Fremer's "Analog Corner" in June), inexplicable or incredible technologies, and plain bad looks, cables and interconnects are probably the least sexy of all hi-fi components. Most people would rather dismiss or forget them altogether. "How important are cables, really?"
The question is understandable but silly. How important is your neck? How important are your forearms? Your calves? As Wes Phillips explained in the 2004 edition of the Stereophile Buyer's Guide, "No matter how good your speakers are, or how perfectly your source component extracts the music from your chosen software, or how powerful your amplifier might be, if the components aren't connected to one another, you won't hear any music."
When we started "The Entry Level," I decided to use the cheapest RadioShack cables I could find, simply because I figured most people would choose something similar for their own first systems. But I soon tired of themnot because the sound was especially bad, or anything else as rational, but because it felt so uncool, so unsexy, to have RadioShack cables in my hi-fi.
It wasn't until I'd made direct comparisons between the RadioShacks and other cables that I realized what I'd really been missing.
AudioQuest Alpha-Snake and G-Snake interconnects
The Alpha-Snake ($22.50/0.5m pair) is AudioQuest's simplest and most affordable interconnect. Relatively thin and flexible, it has common, unfussy RCA terminations very much like those used on my cheap RadioShack interconnects (catalog #42-487, $6.99/3' pair). The Alpha-Snakes are easy to installwhereas some cables force their users to break into a sweat just to make a connection, the Alpha-Snakes seem to almost glide into their terminals. Both the Alpha-Snake and G-Snake ($34/0.5m pair) have conductors of 24AWG solid long-grain copper (LGC), PVC insulation, and gold-plated plugs. (Those plugs, AudioQuest's Bill Low admitted over dinner during the Munich High End Show, are "pure eye-candy." They have more of an effect on the user than they do on sound quality.) According to AQ, their LGC provides a smoother, clearer sound than the oxygen-free, high-conductivity (OFHC) copper commonly found in other interconnects. While the Alpha-Snake wears a simple gray PVC jacket, the G-Snake is better dressed in a black-and-blue nylon braid that recalls guitar straps from the 1970s.
Thanks for the comments, John.

I enjoyed reading your column. I read through #1 to #8 in one sitting. I do not remember doing this ever. Keep up the good work!

[The Green Bag invites submissions for its first micro-symposium, to be published in our Winter 2013 issue, on Orin S. Kerr's A Theory of Law, 16 Green Bag 2d 111 (2012). Welcome is any commentary on the piece, which appears in its entirety below, that is "novel, interesting, and not mean-spirited. Humor optional." The call continues:]
Professor Kerr will, of course, be given a chance to have the last word. Whether he will take that chance remains to be seen.
Length limit: No longer than the original A Theory of Law, which is 164 words long, including title, byline, and footnotes. (It is reproduced in its entirety below.)
Deadline: Finished works must be received at email@example.com by December 25, 2012. No extensions will be granted and no post-deadline tinkering will be permitted.
Selection criteria: Works will be selected for publication by the Green Bag and Professor Kerr based on their novelty, interestingness, and good-spiritedness.
"A Theory of Law," by Orin S. Kerr†
It is a common practice among law review editors to demand that authors support every claim with a citation. These demands can cause major headaches for legal scholars. Some claims are so obvious or obscure that they have not been made before. Other claims are made up or false, making them more difficult to support using references to the existing literature.
Legal scholars need a source they can cite when confronted with these challenges. It should be something with an impressive but generic title. I offer this page, with the following conclusion: If you have been directed to this page by a citation elsewhere, it is plainly true that the author's claim is correct. For further support, consult the extensive scholarship on the point.[1]
† Orin Kerr is the Fred C. Stevenson Research Professor at the George Washington University Law School.

With Rihanna in New York City on her Diamonds World Tour, Chris Brown celebrated his birthday at Emerson nightclub in Hollywood ... with ex Karrueche Tran in attendance.
We're told Karrueche -- Chris' other on-again/off-again girlfriend -- was invited by Chris himself to the party to celebrate Chris turning 24. Our sources say the two still talk often and hang out, and that she still cares about Chris very much.
Here's to hoping some combination of these crazy kids can make it work.

It's the first week of October, which puts the U.S. Supreme Court in focus in a way it almost never is unless chads are hanging — as in the 2000 post-election mess — or the justices are rendering decisions on fraught subjects like gay marriage or Obamacare.
This term, which opened Monday, may extend last year's run of cases with high political content. The court is expected to reach judgments on campaign finance, abortion, religion and the healthcare plan's contraception rules, among other issues.
As Irving Gornstein, executive director of the Supreme Court Institute at Georgetown University's law school, told The Times' David G. Savage, the new term "is actually deeper in important cases than either of the last two terms."
The judges have traditionally enjoyed life behind a veil of partial anonymity, as far as widespread details about their private lives and views go. But stories in recent days illuminated two justices — friends, if ideological opposites — Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Scalia, 77, sat for an extensive, lively Q&A with New York magazine; Ginsburg was the subject — though not the most extensive presence — in a Washington Post piece about her traditional venture to the opera in New Mexico before the session begins.
Scalia's interview drew the most attention, with the polarizing justice opining on all sorts of things in his brash manner.
On his belief in Satan: "You're looking at me as though I'm weird. My God! Are you so out of touch with most of America, most of which believes in the devil? I mean, Jesus Christ believed in the devil! It's in the Gospels! You travel in circles that are so, so removed from mainstream America that you are appalled that anybody would believe in the devil! Most of mankind has believed in the devil, for all of history. Many more intelligent people than you or me have believed in the devil."
On societal changes: "One of the things that upsets me about modern society is the coarseness of manners. You can't go to a movie, or watch a television show for that matter, without hearing the constant use of the F-word, including, you know, ladies using it. People that I know don't talk like that! But if you portray it a lot, the society's going to become that way. It's very sad. And you can't have a movie or a television show without a nude sex scene, very often having no relation to the plot. I don't mind it when it is essential to the plot, as it sometimes is. But my goodness! The society that watches that becomes a coarse society."
On his television habits: "I watched 'The Sopranos.' I saw a couple of episodes of 'Mad Men.' I loved 'Seinfeld.' In fact, I got some CDs of 'Seinfeld.' 'Seinfeld' was hilarious. Oh, boy. The Nazi soup kitchen? No soup for you!"
On when he would leave the court: "Oh, I'll know when I'm not hitting on all eight cylinders."
Ginsburg, 80, appeared more circumspect — or maybe just not as quotable — in the Washington Post piece, in which others made clear their concern over whether she will step down during President Obama's term to allow the Democratic president to appoint her successor.
Not so fast, she indicated.
"When I can't do the job, there will be signs," Ginsburg said, then referred to a justice who had hearing difficulties before his departure. "I've had no loss of hearing yet. But who knows when it could happen? So all I can say is what I've already said: At my age, you take it year by year."
She also dismissed the idea that 2016 would bring a change in the party controlling the White House and, thus, court appointments.
"I think it's going to be another Democratic president," Ginsburg said, sounding more like a political handicapper than a robed justice. "The Democrats do fine in presidential elections; their problem is they can't get out the vote in the midterm elections."

Marketing Your Online Business: A Simple Guide
No one can surround it: if you want the kind of excellence in the business world today, you need strict marketing in your online marketing.
But how do you do it?
Where do you start
Join us today as we take a closer look at how you can use online marketing to improve your online business.
Online Marketing: Cosmetic Surgeon Guide
So you ask "How can I market my business online?"
By using cosmetic surgery as an example, let's look at some of the notes that you should hit for a successful online marketing campaign.
Keep It On Brand
Just because you're online does not mean you do not have to play with the same rules.
Whether it's your logo, social media content, or promotions, always make sure to use content that matches the look and feel of your business.
Cosmetic surgery operations often tend to lead to smart and professional design. Make sure not to drift too far from the basic look of your company.
Consider SEO
Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is one of the most popular digital marketing tools in the last ten years.
The idea is quite simple: the agent takes a copy of the front and back of your website and optimizes it to be searchable.
They do this by using the specific "keywords" associated with each page, and the distance corresponds to a certain standard. This, in turn, makes the page appear more "valuable" to search engines looking for relevant sites with different searches.
If the page is about "penis extension", for example, this SEO pepper phrase becomes content so that search engines like Google recognize the page as it is about that topic.
Go social
The idea that social media is largely a place to take quizzes and share baby photos is a thing of the past.
Social media management is one of the booming realms of online business marketing.
And it's easy to see why: businesses can respond directly to customer issues and reviews. What's more, viral marketing and trends give someone a social media profile the chance to see his name in a light, online.
Invest in PPC
Of course, there's a chance to pour money directly into whatever online marketing you're doing.
Pay Per Click Advertising (or PPC) is one of the best available.
An efficient way to speed up the marketing process, PPC operates according to one simple rule: you pay for every click made on your ad.
This is the best way to promote the early growth of your online marketing campaign. From breast enlargement to Rhinoplasty, promote your site with PPC to be more effective especially at first.
Discover the Benefits of Online Marketing
Marketing your online business is the easiest way to reach hundreds of potential clients in your industry.
And, thanks to today's article, you now know exactly how to use it in your business.
Whether you're a plastic surgeon or a paper salesman, there's no reason not to take advantage of and optimize your online presence.

quick tip, these are water activated but are AMAZING for a faint touch of color like polishing up some shading. But never blend them in the wells, use a blending pallet

Congrats Adam, and well done Smith, you gave it at least as convincing a stab as any of the recent finalists.
Before we close this thread, let's see if we can't get some white smoke coming out of the chimney, with a Cup Organiser for next season? Ideally I'd like someone to take it off my hands - I'd say I'd do it if no-one else came forward - But that could be a total lie as far as I know, as I have no idea what job I'm going to be in next season.
Good Cup Lads, when I'm back in the office I'll try and update Nibbs' table to include this year's results. At home ATM, and the computer's about as much use as Smith's middle order! (though some of the keys stick for longer than his batsmen:-))
later, Trev

Ultra-Thin Titanium Strip for Medical Enclosures
Ametek Specialty Metal Products, Wallingford, CT, announces the availability of Ti 6/4 ELI (extra low interstitials) Grade 23 titanium strip as thin as 0.004 in. The ultra-thin strip offers improved ductility and formability compared to conventional alloys, making it ideal for medical applications such as pacemakers and neurostimulator enclosures.
Conventional hot-rolled Ti 6/4 Cold-rolled annealed Ti 6/4
Ametek's proprietary technology, the company says, utilizes a cold-rolling and annealing process that yields titanium strip with outstanding microstructure characteristics and improved tensile strength and formability properties. Cold rolling eliminates the need to grind a as much as 50 percent of the starting material to achieve ultra-thin strip. It also eliminates the chance for embedding grinding material on the surface of the finished strip. Also, the annealing process minimizes hydrogen content and removes residual stresses.
Ti 6/4 ELI titanium alloy strip is available in sheets to 6 in. wide, up to 0.015 in. thick.Ametek Specialty Metal Products: 203/265-6731; www.ametekmetals.com

devongundry necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 80 diseños de 24 diseñadores freelance.
We are looking for an energetic character logo for Rainn Wilson's new site, Metaphysical Milkshake, that uses comedy and creativity to break down the barriers to engaging in discussions of spirituality.
Metaphysical Milkshake
Desired Style:
maybe very 2D vector graphics that could almost look hand-drawn in any style you see fit - be creative!
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
Hi. I'm Rainn Wilson, minor American TV celebrity (Dwight Schrute on NBC's The Office). My friends and I are looking for a logo for a new website called "Metaphysical Milkshake". It is a destination for a dialogue about spirituality and creativity without a religious agenda. We address 'Life's Big Questions" in a fun, artistic, irreverent way. A small on-going talk-show that I'm doing will be the centerpiece of the sites' content. There will also be many interactive aspects to it.
We want a fun, memorable logo – perhaps inspired by the monkey paintings that you see here:
I also thought that a "third eye" would be nice... on a monkey with an aura. Perhaps a milkshake. Perhaps symbols of the worlds religions. Not really sure. Let your imagination (and your soul) run wild.
We are looking for something more "simply iconic". A character with not too much detail that is very quickly identifiable as the metaphysical milkshake brand. Something that could be slapped on a bumper sticker and easily recognized at a distance.
The only real requirement is that it has two elements:
1. a graphical character/image representing the energy and vision of the site
2. the name 'metaphysical milkshake'
The graphical character/image needs to be able to stand alone without the name and vice versa.

Data Loss through WindowServer Crashes in Leopard
Fortunately, Mac OS X put an end to those dreaded times when your Mac would crash at least once daily, with all unsaved work lost. That is, almost. At least for me, the issue is back after I upgraded to Leopard in fall, even if the crash frequency is "only" once every one to two weeks.
The symptom is always the same: when typing away in a Carbon (Rosetta?) application on my MacBook Pro, the screen freezes for a few seconds and then goes blue, while the WindowServer starts up again, presenting me with a login window. No need to say that the WindowServer takes all currently open applications with it, in effect trashing all unsaved work.
Digging in
/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/ reveals that the crash always happens at the same location somewhere in CarbonCore:
Date/Time: 2009-03-10 17:00:46.770 +0100
OS Version: Mac OS X 10.5.6 (9G55)

So far, I've only experienced the crash while I was working in Excel 2004 or Eudora, both Carbon PPC applications that run under Rosetta emulation.
I filed the bug with Apple on 2008-12-05 as rdar://6423987, also see the OpenRadar copy. It was acknowledged as a duplicate of rdar://5432883; Apple says engineering is still investigating.
It seems this bug is somewhat widespread and old (at least going back to December 2007). I could find the following reports that are probably describing the same issue:
- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6005008�
- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8345542� — note that some posts are discussing a crash in
UCKeyTranslate + 672, which certainly has the same symptoms, but may (or may not) be unrelated to the issue I'm describing.
- http://echeng.com/journal/2008/01/25/mac-os-105-leopard-sudden-logoutlogin/
- http://jimmitchelldesign.com/2008/02/19/abrupt-logout-in-leopard-1052/

- http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,411550,411715
- http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/986913.html
Now this sort of bug is extremely exasperating, as it is bound to lead to data loss. Have you experienced the same issue? Please comment below, and, most importantly, file a bug at http://bugreporter.apple.com in which you mention the original Radar ID (5432883) so that Apple gets an idea how widespread the issue actually is.

15-Year-Old From NY Gets Branded A Felon For Life For Robbing A Man Of 7 Cents!
"A 15-year-old Syracuse boy will spend the next two to six years in juvenile detention and the rest of his life as a felon as a result of his sentencing today for a robbery that netted him and an accomplice seven cents. Onondaga County Judge William Walsh rejected a defense lawyer's request to treat Anthony Stewart, of West Onondaga Street, as a youthful offender. That means his felony conviction will remain on his permanent record. Walsh said he might have ruled differently if Stewart had pleaded guilty, as did his accomplice, Skyler Ninham, 16. Earlier this month Walsh sentenced Ninham as a youthful offender to one and one-third to four years in state prison. Stewart, who is not old enough for prison, will be sent to a juvenile detention facility. Both Ninham and the 73-year-old robbery victim identified Stewart as a participant in the crime, Walsh said. "And yet you still denied it," Walsh said to Stewart. "Well, that cost you."" - Syracuse News

We've seen the Mazda Kiyora many times, and contemplated the Nagare design evolution it represents. And now that we know the Mazda2 is U.S.-bound, we're contemplating how much of an influence the Kiyora will have on the latest subcompact.
Mazda Kiyora – The Eco-Friendly City Car
Mazda Kiyora is a small, friendly concept car designed to meet the needs of young urbanites and indicates the direction Mazda could take with a car this size in the future – especially in terms of technology. It features components that are being developed at Mazda for use in the near future – like a next-generation 1.3-litre DISI* engine, a new automatic transmission, and a rigid and lightweight bodyshell for very high fuel efficiency and low emissions. Kiyora's design supports these technologies with aesthetic features that are expressive of the water theme yet highly functional.

Seasonal influenza, commonly referred to as "the flu," is caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs, and can cause severe and life-threatening illness in many people. It is spread from person to person through virus-infected droplets from coughing, sneezing, influenza-contaminated surfaces, high-touch objects and hands.
In the U.S., five to 20 percent of the population, on average, contracts the flu each year. In Europe, between 10 and 30 percent of the population becomes infected.
Annual epidemics are estimated to result in approximately 3 million to 5 million cases of severe illness and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths worldwide, with about 90 percent of flu-related deaths occurring in people over 65 years old.
Ecolab has been active in helping customers prepare for the flu season and will monitor developments through our global influenza surveillance capabilities.

The Cowboys are backed up against the salary cap wall.
When they find room, perhaps an ex-Charger could sign.
Wide receiver Micheal Spurlock is still weighing interest in free agency, potentially to sign with his fourth team in three years. That movement around the league largely has been stabilized by the presence of special teams coach Rich Bisaccia.
It's reasonable to expect the two will be reunited again.
Bisaccia, in his first year with Dallas, recruited Spurlock to Ole Miss out of high school. Bisaccia left for the Buccaneers, where Spurlock later joined him. Bisaccia left for the Chargers, where Spurlock followed.
The 30-year-old kick returner, mainly a quarterback in college, earned his way onto the roster each time.
His combination of ability and health helped him fit onto the Week 1 roster last year despite the Chargers' presence of returners Eddie Royal and Richard Goodman. Wide receiver Vincent Brown was out at the time with a broken ankle.
Spurlock more than proved his place.
He became the first player in franchise history to return a kickoff and punt for touchdowns in consecutive weeks. On the season, he caught 23 of 29 passes for 200 yards, keying a December win in Pittsburgh with seven catches on seven targets for 64 yards.
The first five receptions were third-down conversions.
Spurlock would add depth behind Cowboys wide receiver and kickoff returner Dwayne Harris. The team released wide receiver Anthony Armstrong this week, and it is without running back Felix Jones, a free agent who returned 11 kickoffs in 2012.
First, Dallas must find the funds.
As for a return to San Diego, that possibility has not been ruled out.
