Was Jason Campbell the most talented aquisition in the league this offseaon? No. Will he be a Pro-Bowler in Oakland? Most likely not any time soon. But was there a greater upgrade made at any position this offseason? Definately not.
Filling Jamarcus Russell's shoes in Oakland will be like sitting in for Bernie Madoff while he polishes of his life sentences. Anyone will do. The same is true in Oakland. Just surviving the Jamarcus Russell era means moving in the right direction.
Last I checked, Jason Campbell can count with his fingers and do coherant interviews. In fact, Campbell actually brings everything to the table that Al Davis drafted Russell for 3 years ago. He has a huge arm and a small ego. If Santana Moss actually kept his route 30 yards downfield, he could have added 300+ yards and 4-5 touchdowns to his season stats. Don't believe me? Check the tapes. As a member of the live and televistion audience for every Redskins game last season (my wifes a 'Skins fan), I know this to be fact. Moss put it in cruise control when he didn't think the ball was coming. When released the ball, he downshifted and couldn't catch up. If you wonder why Campbell overthrew so many receivers last season, try throwing a 40 yards bomb and trying to guess which gear the receiver wants to go after the ball with.
At this point, Oakland doesn't have any receivers of the proven caliber of Santana Moss, but there is more than enough capable wide receiver talent on the team.
In 12 games last season, fans watched Jamarcus Russell play in 12 games. The Raiders should not have won any of those games. The fact that they battled with San Diego on the opening Monday Night Football and every game after (minus weeks 4,5,7) was a testament to the other 23 men on the field those days. How could any team win after turning the ball over twice inside the 10 yardline to the New York Jets in the first quarter. Jamarcus Russell stole the $200 per seat I paid to sit in the front row of the Black Hole that day. Who could forget the Redskins game when Bruce Gradkowski left with the score close? What an awful feeling watching Jamarcus jog out to rally the troops. Who will forget Raider lineman stomping on the ground in frustration – never knowing how many steps Jamarcus would drop back. He was never more than a turnover waiting to happen.
Meanwhile, Jason Campbell has a reputation of just the opposite.
Until last season, he never threw more than 11 interceptions in a season. Even last year he averaged less than a pick per game. In 52 games, he has fumbled 24 times. That seems like alot until you compare it to Russell's 22 fumbles in 31 games. Oakland's line has been far from reliable, but the Redskins didn't exactly have the Hogs blocking for Campbell the last 3 years.
Imagine the Raiders chances last season if the quarterback position would have turned the ball over 50% less. Consider the Raider defense being given the opportunity to rest on the sideline for more than 4 plays. The trickle down effect of Jason Campbell will reach every man on the roster.
The Raiders don't need an All-Pro at quarterback this season. They need competence. At 28, Jason Campbell is seasoned enough to learn yet another offense and young enough to still give the Raiders a career. With the young weapons he'll have around him, the future should be something to look forward to.
Its safer to not get carried away with the expectations, but in an apparently weak AFC West its okay to dream big. The Bears, Ravens, Dolphins and Jaguars may have spent big bucks in the offseason, but for the price of peanuts, the Raiders grabbed the guy that will make the biggest impact.

QR Code Marketing Campaign
When creating a marketing campaign, there are many different approaches you can decide to use. When speaking in terms of using Quick Response codes (or QR codes) in your campaign, there are certain approaches you must use in order to be effective and successful with your efforts. These codes can be placed virtually anywhere whether your goal is to use them in print publications, such as magazines, or inside of retail stores on product packaging. When dealing with your campaign, make a plan ahead of time to maximize your results.
- Keep the process simple. Keep the QR code in its simplest form. Instead of adding specialized designs with different shapes and colors, keep the design in the basic black-and-white format. When you keep the appearance and design of the code in a simple format, you increase the number of devices that are able to read the code. This alone is beneficial for your business because it allows your information to be reached by a larger number of customers.
- Define your objective before implementing. This is essential no matter what you are marketing, regardless of whether it is a product or service. If your objective is to boost sales, the steps you take to get there are going to differ from educating your audience. Although the same QR code method is used, there are different ways and location you can place the code to maximize results. Additionally, it is important for you to define this objective before you design the actual code.
- Confirm and test linkage. If you are sending potential clients and customers to a website that is not optimized for mobile use, you will lose a great deal of business. This is simply because most potential customers will not take the time to transfer the URL to an actual personal computer. Instead, they will become frustrated and look for the product or service elsewhere. In addition to confirming that the destination is web-optimized, you must also ensure that each code takes the customer where you intend for it to. This simply means that you must test the codes before launching them for complete use.
- Include value in your efforts. For instance, customers will look at free prizes, giveaways and discounts as more valuable than basic information about the product or service you are offering. Although there are many customers that would be satisfied with basic information, majority of them will enjoy free gifts as well.
- Consider the placement of your barcodes. Make sure that the QR codes are placed in a location that makes it easy for customers to find and scan. If you are passing out business cards, make sure that you place it either on the front or the back. If you are making use of outdoor advertisements, ensure that the code is large enough for the customer to see, small enough to scan and at the appropriate level for easy reaching.
If you ensure that all of your efforts are maximized and thought out ahead of time, the chances of your marketing campaign being successful are higher. Here are a few links to refer to for tips and further information on marketing with QR codes:

With the rise of mirrorless cameras are, of course, more compact speedlights for on-the-go portable photography. Rogue has designed the FlashBender 2 Mirrorless Soft Box Kit to fit those smaller flash heads designed for mirrorless cameras.
The FlashBender 2 Mirrorless Soft Box Kit includes both the FlashBender Micro Reflector and diffusion panel. The special integrated attachment belt is designed to fit flash heads between 6.5"-7.5" in circumference like the Nissin i40, Olympus FL 600R, Nikon SB-500, and many others!
When used with on-camera flash the FlashBender 2 Micro Reflector creates a larger, softer light source than the bare flash and allows directed bounce off ceilings or walls. Off-camera it can be used to shape and control your main, background, hair, rim, or accent lights.
When you attach the Micro Diffusion Panel, the Rogue FlashBender 2 Mirrorless Soft Box softens light while reducing contrast and specular highlights.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others ~ Jonathon Swift~
Yesterday I had a great coaching session with a client…
As with any coaching session, she set our agenda and what she wanted to accomplish by the end of our session. Her intent was to come up with an objective for her 2014 performance plan.
As we began the conversation, I asked some questions to see if we could gain more clarity and definition of what "an objective" was … what was she seeking to do in 2014? As we spoke, she was thinking out loud and a few times she would pose the question to me "what do you think?". I was sensing that she was feeling a little stuck and having a hard time seeing what it was she wanted to accomplish… so my instincts kicked in and I asked her to close her eyes and envision that she had a big rock sitting in front of her and to pretend that she was going to make that plain old rock into a face… just like Mount Rushmore…or the Crazy Horse monument in South Dakota.
I asked her to choose one of the faces on Mount Rushmore to focus on and she chose President Lincoln. We began with her "staring" (figuratively of course) at her rock that was in her mind's eye and think about what steps she would take to chisel out Lincoln's face in her rock. She said she had to begin by drawing out the face on paper… then she would outline the shape on her rock before she started to chisel. She would then start adding in the features of the eyes, nose and mouth. Finally, she would start overlaying more specific features such as the eyebrows and the beard.
My client's goal was based on a vision she had to create a new structure in how her team could deliver better outcomes to their clients… to improve client retention and to expand service offerings wherever possible. Her vision was to have a structure that created high levels of satisfaction for both her external customers and her internal customers (her employees).
Why did we start carving out LIncoln in a rock you might ask… what on earth does Mount Rushmore have to do with creating a structure in a business setting?
The answer is easy… it is all about having a vision…
Once we have a vision, we can work backwards and decide what the steps are that we want to take to make our vision into a reality. In my client's case, she had a vision but she needed a little help in getting clearer on what she really wanted to do and how she might go about doing it. We were able to talk through some options for where she felt "stuck"… and then an "AHA!" moment occurred. She had a breakthrough in her thinking when she realized that she didn't have to carve the stone by herself. She talked about how she could work with her team to come up with a plan to chip away at the bigger stone and fill in the necessary details to create the ultimate "face" of her customer service vision.
If you are in the midst of thinking through "what next?", I suggest the following steps:
- Vision: start with the end in mind. Picture what you want the final outcome to look like.
- Create an outline… be broad… remember you just want to draw out the overall shape first.
- Work out details by bringing in others to help you figure out what tools, resources, support and direction everyone will need.
- Start the actual work of chiseling away (actions) once you are confident that you have a rock solid plan.
Do you have a vision of what you want to accomplish in 2014? I would love to hear what everyone is working on!

From middle school to high school, I observed a lot of my peers in an extremely multi-ethnic education pool change their identities. Some in regards to code-switching, others in a bit of a dramatic fashion divorced from their monolithic upbringings to more borderline offensive cultural appropriative leanings, and just simply those who found an opportunity to find a seat at a cool kids table. I learned very early on it was futile to think I desired to fall into any of those categories. With a toe forward in each at some point, my gut sent another message. And while I let authenticity guide me, I saw many people I once spent a great deal of time with dorking off choose the temporary glamour of false acceptance. Luckily, I never had any awkward reunions that involved a scene out of It's Alive.
At the heart of Snatchers, a new horror, sci-fi-ish web comedy is the fragile relationship between high schoolers Sara (Mary Nepi) and Hayley (Gabrielle Elyse), who find themselves in a bloody pickle after Sarah seeks help for a freak pregnancy. Sara is the once Magic-playing nice girl who found a new social circle to inhabit that involves loads of party talk drenched in teen slang. She even finds the wings to make dopey stud Skyler aware that she's ready to give into the peer pressure of sex. And when their unflattering union is finally done, she goes through the exaggerated motions of what to expect when you're expecting. The turning point comes when she realizes that the only person she can turn to is Hayley, the person she turned away from.
Only five episodes on the streaming platform go90 are available now. But these handful of episodes each under ten minutes rely on a highway pace that molds the horror of what in the world is Sarah giving birth to with the comedy of a Christian protester's hypocrisy and fluid incorporations for terms like "vag canon". Snatchers stands tall as a show built for the youths while its charm can find a multi-generational crowd with a smart story and exceptional acting from its stars and supporting cast.
Snatchers was described as "Mean Girls meets Alien" during its Sundance Film Festival's Midnight Episodic Showcase. What started out as a feature has been sliced into eight episode portions with a season two already in the works. Series writers and creators Stephen Cedars, Benji Kleiman, and Scott Yacyshyn set out to subvert some notions about teens and sex in horror, showing sex as a part of life, not a punishment for girls. And they're on target with this objective. Without the mundane obstacles of adulthood, Sarah and Hayley manage to find the ability to work with each other, find answers, and fight the menace that is Sara's spawn.
Gabrielle Elyse as the nerdy and certain Hayley Chamberlain is the spark of chemistry needed to balance with Sara, on par with Amy and Raquel from the UK genre series, Crazyhead. Both similar as a racially mixed, supernatural duo, "Gabrielle prides herself on being multi-racial and is passionate about breaking African American stereotypes, and bringing light to racism in the US." Representation on Snatchers leans much on the building of a cast that looks similar to my high school. These teens aren't hammy caricatures. Even within the perfect pitch humor are real people on a quest to unearth the what-on-earth mythos surrounding Sara's circumstance.
This is a very long-winded way of saying that Snatchers is worth your time, and there's much more to come!
Snatchers is a part of a "digital content brand" Stage 13-- a platform dedicated to getting really diverse and being really weird.

Polished UI - Cost Effectively
Tactics to produce a polished (web) user interface, in a cost-effective manner.
This is different than the design, in that these issues are related to the user's interaction, rather than the visual presentation. For example, the visual presentation would include the page layout, images, graphics, choice of color, attractive menus and page navigation. User interface is more commonly a part of applications, and is intended to help the user accomplish what they must do with the application. The user interface must be fairly easy to understand, and should be polished to present a professional appearance.
- Start with a toolkit and if possible, a theme that works with it.
- Find an icon set. The link above is excellent. You may need more than one set, and, since you only need to purchase it once, it is worth choosing carefully. Be aware of any license restrictions.
- Be creative. If you can't find the 'perfect' icon, use a keyboard character, or a different icon.
- Keep it simple.
- Disable controls the user can't use, based on the current state of the page.
- Remember the functionality probably takes precedence over the UI. When pressed for time, get it working, then make it pretty.
- Limit the list of supported browsers. IE6+ and FF2+ is a good starting point.
- Keep track of the time spent per page. This will allow you to give better estimates, and help management understand the costs of the project.
- Donate to support any free tools you use.

Great thoughts on book design (covers specifically) - makes me love what I do!
11/6/2015 05:23:06 pm
I am really enjoying reading your well written articles. I think you spend numerous effort and time updating your site. I have bookmarked it and I am taking a look ahead to reading new articles.
3/29/2018 01:40:27 am
Great performance. I'm all about jokes and different kinds of humor but it was a lot, for me. I personally think it was too much jokes there. Ok, I get it and I understand that information that are braced by emotions is easier to remember, but ehhh. However, it was a great TED talk as usual, I always loved stories about design solutions. Thanks for sharing!

A Donegal family who have a sister in a care facility in the county which was heavily criticised for a range of deficiencies in a report by a health watchdog, say they now wonder if the centre is a safe environment.
A report by the Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) found serious failings in the governance and management of Ard Greine Court, a centre for people with disabilities in Stranorlar.
The centre, which was formerly the Sean O'Hare Unit, was subject to two inspections earlier this year - one in March and then a follow-up in May, after the first visit by inspectors revealed a litany of major non-compliances with national standards.
The breaches included several allegations of abuse that had not been appropriately reported; inadequate training in fire safety and the protection of vulnerable adults; residents' money going missing; a lack of safeguards to mitigate the risk of injuries to residents associated with falls; and that healthcare needs of residents were not attended to in a timely manner.
The McMenamin family in Letterkenny have said that they are angry that they are "confronted with major fears about the safety and standards of care in the setting".
Eddie McMenamin, Aisling Duffy, Martin McMenamin, Karen Hegney, and Mary McMenamin- Doherty, issued the letter following the publication of the two reports which were published at the end of August.
"The criticisms we have elicited are not borne of malice or vexation, but of genuine concern for our very vulnerable sister," the family said. " It is also doubly difficult to vent our concerns as there are three of us who are, or have recently worked in the HSE, and know all too well of the significant challenges that are faced by all facets of the services on a daily basis. However, regardless of resource limitations and any negative external forces, do not excuse unsafe care to vulnerable adults."
The family said that the Intellectual Disability Service In Donegal needs to "stop denying that the service falls short of modern standards".
"Yes it has come a long way, but not far enough to sit on its laurels. Rather it should embrace the recommendations proffered in meeting safer better care standards set out by the regulatory authorities. But they should not stop there, they should seize the opportunity for new developments and practices that will create a service in which people are enable to fully achieve their life goals."
The McMenamins said they intend to hold the local service to account in implementing the necessary changes in support of the recommendations of HIQA.
"Thankfully our parents are not alive to relive their previous concerns for their daughter and experience the disappointment the HIQA report paints of the current service. Our family's lifetime of seeking reassurance about our sisters care is set to continue, coupled inevitably with more sleepless nights."
The (Health Service Executive) HSE said at the time of publication of the reports that an action plan is being implemented under the direction of a newly appointed Acting Service Manager of Intellectual Disability Services in Donegal.
Jacinta Lyons, Acting Service Manager of Intellectual Disability Services in Donegal, stated: "I am working closely with management and staff at Ard Greine to ensure that all the concerns identified by HIQA are addressed with robust governance, quality and safety arrangements. The safeguarding of residents is our number one priority. We will continue to improve and develop services, to learn from mistakes and promote the best possible quality of life for each resident".
In a response to the concerns expressed in the letter, the HSE said it accepted the findings of the Hiqa reports with regards to inspections of disability services at Ard Greine Court.
"We acknowledge the concerns of family members and realise that these reports make for difficult reading," the HSE said in a statement.
"We are working hard to address these concerns. We have implemented a service improvement programme at Ard Greine in response to these inspections.
We are happy to meet with the family to discuss their concerns."

In 2015-2016, I am teaching Kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 4th grade in the library. My job-share partner teaches 1st, 3rd, and half of 4th. I teach 2 classes labeled as 'gifted' – 1 in 2nd, 1 in 4th. The lessons are usually very similar, save scaffolding and questioning techniques.
I was a TERRIBLE blogger in the fall – no excuse, but I was. To remedy, here is the Fall 2015 recap. Here's to a better lesson-charting in 2016!

Israel Attacks Unarmed Civilian Flotilla
This is so enraging I cannot even type. The Israelis blockaded Gaza for close to 2 years now, and they killed 1400 Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead, which was classified as war crimes by the Goldstone Commission, and now they attack unarmed civilians in international waters who are trying to bring aid to the blockaded Palestinians in Gaza. And what do these murderous bastards always hide behind ? "We are fighting terror" say the Israelis. Well the whole world needs to kick this rogue state out of the UN. It won't sign the NPT. It won't abide by the many UN resolutions which criticize Israeli policy, it won't listen to the US on settlement demands. That is enough. This is so appalling.

Norman Debates Israeli Historian Benny Morris
If Benny Morris represents the academic elite in Israel then I am quite appalled. He could not maintain his positions at all in this debate, which was not very well moderated.

Solva Car Park UpdatePosted by Solvanews on Feb 27, 2015 in Featured, News | Comments Off on Solva Car Park Update

Following on from a meeting on Friday 6th February regarding Solva car park,
the PCNPA response was: "It was resolved that Solva Community Council
would manage the Lower Solva car park for 2015 subject to the revision of the
terms of the management agreement. Members asked for a report on progress
to be provided to an extraordinary NPA in early March." This may be a
breathing space, but the fight goes on, more updates to follow…

Millwall manager: We played with freedom and expression
MILLWALL boss Neil Harris outlined his satisfaction with the all-round performance of his side after seeing them finally win at home this season.
Shaun Williams exemplified the Lions' persistence as he popped up in the box in injury time to head the winner against Peterborough.
Harris picked out Williams and the returning Carlos Edwards for praise as the duo combined for the clinching goal with the clock running down and the tie looking like it would have to be decided by penalties.
Edwards was superb at right-back and the result was the perfect tonic before the international break as Millwall halted a run of four successive defeats at home.
"First and foremost we played extremely well at times," Harris said. "We saw a little bit more freedom from the guys to go and play and express themselves.
"We saw huge amounts of quality, especially going forward. But we saw loads we can still improve on.
"I lost count of the amount of goal-scoring opportunities we created, and not just that but the quality to get into those positions.
"I was delighted and I thought it was about right that it was a great cross by Carlos after he came back in the team, and Shaun Williams deserved the goal that he scored.
"He's a great fellow, he wants to win and takes it badly when he gets beat. We left him out on Saturday and he responded in the perfect manner."

Microbiology is a dedicated science concerning viruses, bacteria and other microbes. Qualified students of this discipline can pursue a variety of specialized career tracks regarding how microbes affect areas such as human health and food technology. Individuals looking to make microbiology their lifelong career will first need to learn the full scope of the relevant educational requirements, from high school coursework all the way through graduate school.
High School Classes
According to North Dakota State University, high school students aspiring to become microbiologists should do their best to excel in their science and mathematics classes. Good grades in courses such as algebra, physics, chemistry and biology can provide college-bound students with a solid foundation for their undergraduate coursework. To prepare for a college curriculum heavy in science courses, students should strive to take as many high school science classes as possible. To stand out when applying for college, motivated high school students should enroll in as many AP courses as possible, especially when it comes to the sciences.
Undergraduate Classes
College students hoping to become microbiologists don't necessarily have to major in microbiology, according to the Career Portal website. However their degree should be in a subject relatable to biological science such as applied biology, molecular biology and applied sciences. A bachelor's degree in one of these fields will qualify students for entry-level microbiology jobs. A standard microbiology-based curriculum will include such courses as virology, pathogenic microbiology, immunology, microbial genetics and bacterial physiology, according to North Dakota State University's College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources.
Related Articles
Graduate School
Students interested in conducting independent microbiological research or working in a university setting will need to pursue a master's of science degree, then possibly a Ph.D, according to Career Portal. Students enrolled in such graduate programs will gain specialized knowledge and experience in their particular field of study while planning and conducting research experiments. Earning a graduate degree can qualify students for careers in private laboratories, university research departments and related government agencies.
Job Outlook
As technology and science continues to develop, the need for science-educated graduates keeps growing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for microbiologists is expected to grow by 13 percent between 2010 and 2020. As of 2010, the annual median wage for this career was $65,920; this works out to $31.69 an hour. There are many career tracks available to qualified graduates, including employment in biomedical industries, biotechnology, health sciences, agricultural biosystems and government agencies.
2016 Salary Information for Microbiologists
Microbiologists earned a median annual salary of $66,850 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, microbiologists earned a 25th percentile salary of $48,920, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount. The 75th percentile salary is $97,050, meaning 25 percent earn more. In 2016, 23,200 people were employed in the U.S. as microbiologists.

The Gap. It's Probably Not What You Think It Is.
Don't worry I'm not even going to pretend remotely to go down a certain path here.
The Gap that I am talking about is the gap between the #CRETech community and the actual users of their product.
It exists today because we are still in the early days of adoption and change.
That is not necessarily a bad thing,
To my mind, that still creates a huge and long window of opportunity.
Interesting that the gap to some does and does not exist depending on where you have come into this (technology) cycle.
You, me and many others are still learning every day.
As deep as I am in it the scene the more, it continues to grow.
Let me explain.
I had dinner the other night with 2 1/2 brilliant educated and highly informed technology people. (Hey John you are getting there) WINK! 🙂
They were astounded at how our business of commercial real estate works. They being normal humans on this planet just assumed that commercial real estate was not only on par with the rest of the world they thought we were more sophisticated and informed than most.
They must have thought that with all the money and smart people involved that we just had to be there. Fair assumption.
The questions they asked were so far removed from what we think of as normal.
It was refreshing to see and hear from outside the #CRETech bubble. (Some of which I have obliviously helped create.)
I had to ask myself.
Are we will we still have the same bullshit conversations?
If we are, it's not helping.
Is there fatigue?
Is there also ignorance?
Is there not enough want to change because it still works and that is the only good reason we have come up with so far.
I'm sitting in the office of Reonomy right now on Broadway in New York City.
It is about as center of the #CRETech universe as you can get.
That's Richard and Chris in the pic above. Discussing" things."
Reonomy wait you have or have not heard of them? What do they do again?
Click here and get a demo. Find out for yourself. They are nice people.
They have been at it a couple of years or so and are still growing. Early days still.
Where will they be in two or three years down the line?
How about you? What would your answer be?
Starting to change.
I continue to have and not just because I'm in New York some pretty serious conversations with the potential and actual users of #CRETechnology.
They are curious they are cautious they are asking the right questions
They want to understand it,
They want to understand it better because they want to use it
They want to use it because it creates efficiencies
It creates advantages.
It will ……. MAKE THEM MORE MONEY.
Bottom Line and why not go right to it?
Top down or bottom up.
Either way, if it works and makes money it creates that old school VALUE ADD.
The more conversations I have, the more people reach out to me the more the gap is closing.
And these conversations are coming from both sides.
We need more, and I am more than willing to help push those conversations. Don't be shy.
Now more than ever it's an important task that needs to be done.
It needs to go far beyond the basic understanding of why these products help commercial real estate.
It's not just tech for the reason of tech.
If there is a perception of some separation that may be but it's shrinking at a blistering and torrid pace so…..
The Gap. It's Probably Not What You Think It Is.
+1 Think Positive #CRE and #CRETech we're getting there.
+1+1 I am never leaving New York!

The nearly 600-pound spokesman of Arizona's own Heart Attack Grill died Tuesday -- not 'cause of what would have been an ironic heart attack for a man whose weight suggests his heart probably resembled a basketball filled with ricotta cheese -- but probably from pneumonia.
Blair River was the 6-foot-8, 575 pound, 29-year-old spokesman for the hospital-themed Chandler restaurant, which prides itself on selling "Quadruple Bypass" hamburgers, "Flatliner Fries" cooked in lard, unfiltered cigarettes, and alcoholic beverages, among other "treats."
River contracted pneumonia after he was in a hospital for four days with the flu earlier in the week, but his exact cause of death is yet unknown.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
ABC News reports that River's obesity could have placed him at an increased risk for nearly every acute health problem.
In 2010, River was hired to be the Heart Attack Grill spokesperson at a rate of $100 per hour.
His first YouTube video for the eatery offered anyone weighing more than 350 pounds a free meal.
River apparently was the brains behind several of the promotion techniques from the restaurant, and was even planning a musical relating to the restaurant.

5 April 2017
A high-achieving USC Social Science student with a passion for human rights will receive a prestigious Chancellor's Medal when she graduates tomorrow (Thursday 6 April).
Buderim's Kathryn Allan, who is now helping to advance projects with USC International Development, will be presented with the medal for her tireless advocacy for social justice throughout her Bachelor of Social Science (Honours) studies.
The graduation ceremony at 4pm at Matthew Flinders College Performance Centre will be one of nine graduation ceremonies from April 5-7 that will see almost 1,400 USC students graduate before crowds expected to total 5,000.
Kathryn, 25, achieved a grade point average of 6.58 out of a possible 7, acted as president of Amnesty International USC, was vice-president of USC's International Relations Society and advocated for causes such as Indigenous, refugee and LGBTQI+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning and intersex) rights.
"I feel extremely honoured to be receiving the Chancellor's Medal as I know there are a lot of incredible graduating students this year," she said. "It means so much to be recognised for all of my hard work.
"I think having such a strong passion and drive to change something was my ultimate motivation while at uni. USC enabled me to follow my dreams further than I ever imagined I could go."
In 2016, Kathryn received the inaugural iDcare Honours Scholarship for her thesis on mitigating child trafficking in disaster response environments with the not-for-profit organisation.
Kathryn said her current role with USC International Development enabled her to work towards the enhancement of welfare and social justice every day.
"I interned at the office during my honours year, and was lucky enough to gain employment upon the completion of my thesis," she said.
"We work closely with the University and the Innovation Centre to create change by using local talent to solve some of the world's most complex problems. It is incredibly rewarding work and such a dynamic workplace."

Book XXVII
2. Marcellus, who was not particularly alarmed by so serious a defeat, wrote a letter to the senate at Rome in regard to the loss of general and army at Herdonea. [2] He said that nevertheless, being the same man who, after the battle of Cannae, had frustrated Hannibal, elated by that victory, he was marching against him to cut short his joy and exultation. [3] At Rome, to be sure, there was not only great sorrow owing to what had happened, but also great fear for the future. [4] The consul, however, crossing over from Samnium into Lucania, pitched camp near Numistro,1 on level ground in sight of Hannibal, while the Carthaginian held a hill. [5] He added the further appearance of confidence in being the first to lead out into battle-line. And Hannibal did not refuse, when he saw the standards borne out of the gates. Nevertheless they drew up their lines so that the Carthaginian made his right wing reach up the hill, while the Romans rested their left wing on the town. [6] [p. 209]On the Roman side the first legion and right ala, on2 Hannibal's side the Spanish soldiers and Balearic slingers were engaged; and the elephants also were driven into battle after the conflict had begun. [7] For a long time the battle hung in the balance, not inclining in either direction. After they had prolonged the battle from the third hour to nightfall and the front lines were exhausted by fighting, the third legion relieved the first, the left ala relieved the right, and among the enemy fresh troops took over the battle from the weary. [8] A new battle and fierce suddenly flamed out of a conflict now grown spiritless, for the combatants were now fresh in spirit and in body. [9] But night parted them with victory undecided. On the next day the Romans stood in line from sunrise until late in the day. When none of the enemy came out against them, they gathered spoils at their leisure, carried corpses of their men into one place and burned them. [10] On the following night Hannibal broke camp silently and marched away into Apulia. Marcellus, when day disclosed the flight of the enemy, left the wounded at Numistro with a small garrison, placed Lucius Furius Purpurio, a tribune of the soldiers, in command of them, and made haste to follow on Hannibal's heels. [11] Near Venusia3 he overtook him. There for a number of days, while charges were made by outposts, there were mixed cavalry and infantry engagements, rather skirmishes than important battles, and nearly all of them favourable to the Romans. [12] Thence the armies were led through Apulia without any notable conflict, since Hannibal [p. 211]would set his standards in motion by night, seeking4 positions for ambuscades, while Marcellus did not follow except in broad daylight and after reconnoitring.

Award Winning Chicken Andouille Gumbo Recipe
Julia Wright's Gumbo Cook Off Winner
Julia is a home cook from the Pacific Northwest, just east of Seattle, in what she calls "Microsoft Land". Julia is also a member of my Facebook group, What I Cooked For Dinner Last Night, where our group shares meals they've prepared the night before giving us all ideas for future meals and inspiration to try new foods.
The contest was hosted locally by a Savory Spice store where each contestant had to bring 1.5 quarts of soup or stew in a crock pot. The store's customers tasted the dishes throughout the day and voted. Once all the food ran out, the voting was over. Julia said she brought way more than the 1.5 quart minimum to avoid being the first to run out.
When Julia and her husband came back to the store at 5 pm, she was told her Gumbo won "hands down" and she earned a $50 gift card.
A Little About Julia
Julia is the mom of two teenage boys and married to a British ex-pat. She told me she was late to start cooking but was inspired to learn how to cook when she started watching Food Network shows. Alton Brown's show was her first favorite.
Julia and her husband love to travel and when on the road she tries to learn how to make a local dish or get some local inspiration for future meals. She learned how to make this gumbo while in New Orleans at a cooking class at the New Orleans School of Cooking.
Julia said it was a touristy activity but she "took it seriously".
Gumbo is a Southern Louisiana Stew. No two chefs make gumbo the same way. Use this recipe to create your own specialty. Additions could include shrimp, okra and tomatoes. – Julia Wright
1 cup flour
1 cup vegetable oil
3 cups onions, chopped
3 cups peppers, chopped
2 cups celery, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
2 quarts chicken broth/chicken stock
3 cups cooked chicken
12 ounces Andouille sausage
2 tablespoons Savory Spice Black River Creole Seasoning or to taste.
How To Prepare At Home
Prepare the roux using flour and oil, stir constantly over medium heat – UNINTERRUPTED – for 20-30 minutes or until copper colored.
Add chopped onions, peppers and celery to roux. Stir until vegetables soften. Add chopped garlic and stir.
To vegetable mixture, add sliced sausage and cooked chicken, chopped. Sprinkle in Creole seasoning.
Add stock or broth and simmer over medium heat. Adjust seasonings to taste. Simmer 1 – 2 hours.
Serve over rice with Savory Spice Organic Powdered Gumbo File, your choice of hot sauce and chopped green onions.

Gary! Thank you so much for the great post. I am thrilled to be a part of your awesome blog. Note for other RGs: While the recipe calls for a particular seasoning products – you may certainly substitute your favorite one such as Tony Chachere's or Zatarains and use any File powder. Enjoy!
Hi Gary!
Just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed your website!
I'm trying to take advantage of living at home for my last year of high school to teach myself how to cook, and your blog's been really well organised and useful!
Hope you're having a great day/night 🙂
Cheers from Australia!

MiLo is at it again.
Michael Lohan, the father of actress Lindsay Lohan, was arrested by Nassau County Police Thursday morning and charged with criminal contempt.
Bryan Konoski, an attorney for Lohan's ex-girlfriend Erin Muller, told the New York Postthat Lohan allegedly phoned Muller at work on Jan. 21, which would violate an order of protection.
In June, a judge said Lohan would avoid prosecution on an aggravated harassment charge if he stayed out of trouble for a year. Lohan denied he threatened to kill his girlfriend and himself if she left him.
Lohan was arrested on a similar charge in December.
He is due in court on Feb. 25.

Invisalign® is one of the most popular choices for straightening your smile with clear, comfortable aligners. Howard County Smiles, led by Dr. Ray Becker in Columbia, MD, offers Invisalign®. Teens and adults prefer the discreet treatment that offers the convenience of easy removal for daily oral hygiene, eating and routine dental care. Invisalign® is for people who have mild to moderate problems and want to straighten their smiles for both cosmetic and dental health reasons. Invisalign® invisible braces are a safe, comfortable, convenient and virtually unnoticeable option for a straighter and healthier smile. Invisalign® won't damage teeth, gums or TMJ and many patients see full results in as little as 6 – 12 months.
The main reason patients prefer Invisalign® to metal braces is that the aligners are so thin and clear; no one knows you're wearing braces. Studies show that clear braces may be better for your dental hygiene during treatment compared to traditional metal braces. Invisalign® braces alleviate many of the hassles associated with traditional metal braces including:
- No dietary restrictions
- Easy removal for cleaning and routine dental care
- Discreet treatment
- No risk of tooth enamel staining from permanently attached brackets
Am I Candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign® has been a proven treatment to help people who suffer from a variety of teeth straightening cases. Invisalign is appropriate for teens and adults and can be used as follow up care for previous orthodontic treatments. Dr. Becker will evaluate your condition to determine your candidacy at his Columbia, MD cosmetic dentistry office. Some common concerns Dr. Becker may use Invisalign to treat are:
- Crooked teeth
- Gapped Teeth
- Open Bite
- Overly Crowded teeth
- Underbite
- Overbite
- Crossbite
The Invisalign Process
The Invisalign® process begins with Dr. Becker performing an initial examination to determine if Invisalign® treatment is right for you. If it appears that Invisalign® is an option, we will take photographs, x-rays, and an impression of your teeth in our Columbia, MD dentist office.
He will then complete further diagnostic analysis to verify that Invisalign® will work for you and create a treatment plan that will determine exactly how the teeth are straightened. At that time, we will be able to let you know if you qualify for orthodontic insurance benefits and the estimated cost and length of treatment.
Dr. Becker will use the images of your teeth to create your personalized treatment plan and the images will be sent to the Invisalign® lab. There, a series of custom designed aligners will be created to shift teeth back into proper alignment.
You will receive your first set of aligners that will slowly reposition the teeth. About every two weeks, you will get a new set of clear aligners according to the detailed treatment plan Dr. Becker creates using your dental impressions.
Your clear braces should be worn for 22 hours a day. This allows you to remove them to eat and continue normal oral hygiene routine.
The length of your treatment and the number of aligners you will require will depend on the severity of your dental concerns and your cosmetic goals. Most patients will complete treatment in 12 months.
Schedule a Consultation
If you're considering Invisalign® in Ellicott City and Columbia MD areas, contact Howard County Smiles today. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Becker at his cosmetic dentistry office to find out how to get a straighter smile that you've always wanted.

Dear Parents,
Last month Sandra and I went to Casa Grande, Arizona to visit Mike, Allie and our grandson Emmett (21 months old). It's hard for me to explain the joys of being a grandparent. I think you have to live this experience to understand it. Which brings me to a topic I've contemplated often over the years. Love is a lot like ice cream; there are many varieties.
The first love we usually experience is from our Mom and Dad and quite honestly those are two distinct types of love. Often Dad is the one who throws you up in the air and catches you and Mom is the one who cuddles you when Dad accidentally drops you. When we reciprocate that love, it is because we need those two parents and it may take years for that love to truly become a two-way street. The love we have for our friends as we grow up is another distinctly different type of love as is romantic love when we reach that stage. Mature, committed love is again uniquely different from other types of love. Loving our children is also different from any other experience we have ever had. We may love them equally, but we must show them love in a way unique to each of them. I sometimes wonder if God created each type of love specifically or if it was inevitable that the many flavors of love would simply flow just from God being God.
I joke that Emmett knows Mama, Dada, Abuela, and "Abuela's traveling companion." But I honestly feel that he has a clue that I am somebody special in his life. After all we share DNA, we look alike, I love the same people he does, and his parents trust me to take care of him.
Something I remember learning in high school is that no matter what we share we have less of, except love. As we share love, we grow in our capacity to love more and better. Be at peace this winter and let God's love (in all of its forms) bring you the joy and faith to share love better.

Right now is the moment for the light to shine on thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS who have been killed, bullied, tortured and more, simply for being HIV positive.
Charlie Sheen, an A-list celebrity, was bullied into disclosing his status. A person of privilege who is part of the Hollywood elite and a family with a rich history has shown us that regardless of the privilege that HIV can open a person up to being victimized and exploited.
Out of the media spotlight, away from the prying eyes of the media, there is an entire population of people living with HIV who do not have millions of dollars to thwart off the impending fear of forced disclosure. For Charlie Sheen, the fear of embarrassment, shaming and the end of his career might have resulted had the world discovered that he is HIV positive. For others, a disclosure that they are living with HIV could result in bodily harm, death or loss of employment.
As we have this conversation regarding Sheen it is my hope that we will take this moment to examine how forced-disclosure impacts marginalized groups within our country.
Earlier today, I did an interview with a local Fox News affiliate here in St. Louis. The reporter asked me if Sheen's disclosure would benefit communities of color. My response was that Sheen's disclosure would have little impact on communities hardest hit by the HIV epidemic. It would, however, offer an opportunity for a brief moment to examine how HIV is viewed in our country in the year 2015.
Let us not forget that Sheen is coming from a place of privilege that few will ever know. The problems of the ultra-rich and celebrities are quite different from the rest of us. This is a moment however where we can see the vulnerability of one person who through his health condition has been reduced to the base level of trying to protect his livelihood, children and family. In the end there was nowhere else to run, nothing more to pay out.
Sheen chose to stand and face his accusers and speak his own truth. This is the empowerment that I wish all people living with HIV could and would have, but I understand that it is not possible.
Although I am out with my HIV-positive status at work and school, I understand I do that from a place of privilege.
As a white male, that affords me certain protections. I do not fear that I will lose my job because of my HIV status. I do not fear that my school will expel me for being HIV positive. I do not fear that I will be killed in the streets of my neighborhood tonight as a result of being HIV positive.
As a result, I am able to say certain things without fear of retaliation or recourse. This is not the case for many of my brothers and sisters around the world living with HIV. If you add in the disparities already plaguing communities of color as well as the trans-community, HIV is just another in a long line of disparities stacked on top making it hard simply to survive much less thrive.
The exploitation of people living with HIV is not a new phenomenon. I have heard countless stories of how a person will hold that information over a former friend's or ex- lover's head. This is also the grounds for many HIV criminalization cases that are based on "he said-he said" reasoning and justification.
HIV criminal law as currently written holds the fear of prosecution above every person's head who is living with HIV. It is for this reason that many people choose to be alone rather than try to navigate the waters of dating while being HIV positive.
Many narratives are being thrown around today as a result of the news regarding Sheen.
I would hope that in the mix of talking heads and commentary that we remember the communities who will never be able to step out from the shadows in a media interview. I long for a day when having HIV is not a blemish on our character, but it is simply a health condition.

A female traveling alone pulls into town late at night, her tank reads empty. A family with small children needs a convenience station where they can fill their gas tank and feed hungry bellies. Chances are there's more than one petroleum station at the first intersection they come to.
Which will they choose, yours or your competition's station?
The fuel station that looks safe, is well lit and well kept will grab a customer's attention before a poorly lit, poorly marked station will. The first impression your business makes will directly impact the level of success your business achieves. Whether you're a branded or unbranded petroleum station, it's crucial to let customers know you will provide for their needs.
If you're a branded station like Chevron, Shell or Arco, McHale Sign Co. works directly with oil company distributors to maintain current image specifications. Once your petroleum distributor gives us the level of imaging required for your station -- which is based on many factors including visibility and volume -- we come to your site and perform a survey. The next step is re-imaging your entire site.
For branded sites, we don't always fabricate the product. In most cases, we work with product vendors who are approved by the petroleum company. They provide the sign systems and we do the legwork, which includes handling the permit process and building the structure as well as installing all of the components.
If you're an unbranded petroleum company we work directly with you, the station owner, to design, manufacture and install a custom sign that reflects the image you want to project.
Total re-imaging signage might include the following:
- Island treatment
- Fuel dispensers
- Trash cans
- POS display
- Pump toppers
- Dispenser decals
- Canopy fascia
- Price signs
- Lettering
- Logos
Because we understand the unique re-imaging needs of petroleum stations -- branded or unbranded -- and adhere to a proven process, we are able to help you create an exceptional brand. And we've been doing it since 1977.
If you're updating your current brand image or converting from one image to another, McHale Sign Co. in Redding, CA is here to help you positively influence your customer's first impression.
When it comes to signs, we're all you need. Guaranteed!

October 15, 2012
This might sound completely odd, but I was in awe of what I watched Sunday afternoon and it had nothing to do with football.
No, I was tuned in on my laptop watching some guy named Felix Baumgartner make history in one of the craziest ways possible. I'm sure you've probably heard about it by now after the many commercials and the Red Bull sponsorship tie-in, but Baumgartner flew up in a balloon literally to the edge of space and then jumped.
For those who're counting, that was a jump from about 128,000 feet in the air. Well, you can barely even call it air at that point. That's well past the point where you need an oxygen tank to breathe and the fluids in your body could boil. That sounds pleasant, doesn't it?
Well, what Baumgartner did was simply amazing. He set three world records in one jump – highest free fall, highest manned balloon ride and the fastest free fall. Just how fast was he going? Well he became the first human to ever break the sound barrier without vehicular assistance.
But really, why was this jump so interesting? Why was I sitting on my laptop for almost two hours, much of simply watching a guy basically just sitting there, occasionally talking to the ground control base? I'm not actually sure, but damn it was riveting.
My guess is that it was because the potential of the whole idea was so great. How many times in our lifetimes will we ever see something like Baumgartner's jump again? Maybe once, but probably never.
Also, how could we possibly know what to expect? Something like this has never been documented before, let alone broadcast live on TV and the internet.
Of course, there's also the potential for disaster. Something could definitely have gone wrong and the millions (?) watching live could very easily have seen somebody die live on TV at 2 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon.
But, whatever reason it was that you watched the Red Bull Stratos jump, it was certainly worth it. And definitely better than flipping the channel to TSN to see the Argos lose.

Sept. 21, 2017 By Jack Jodell, American Dissident, N.M.P.
COUNTDOWN: I am infuriated to state that there are still 1,221 days left in the Liar-in-chief's term in office…
Among the literally thousands of lies President Donald Chump has told this nation was that he would hardly ever, or never, go on vacation. Back in 2015, then-candidate Donald Chump told The Hill that he would not be the type of President to take time off for vacations, later adding that "there is just so much to be done…so I don't think we'll be big on vacations, no" in a 60 Minutes interview done on Nov. 13, 2016.
Indeed, this pompous liar had the gall to criticize his predecessor for having taken far too many vacations and spending too much time playing golf rather than tending to his job as President. Of course, those who know the truth are fully aware that Barack Obama rarely went on vacation, and did so FAR less than HIS predecessor, George W. Bush. It seemed at times as though Bush was constantly down at his "ranch" in Crawford, TX. This, of course, Chump chooses to deliberately ignore, as he has hated Obama ever since Obama deservedly made fun of him during a 2011 White House Correspondents' dinner. Chump has repeatedly referred to Obama as a "habitual vacationer." Prior to his election, the Liar-in-chief even tweeted, "Don't take vacations. What's the point? If you're not enjoying your work, you're in the wrong job."
Well, it is easy for anyone who is rational to see that Chump himself is "in the wrong job" and is not "enjoying" HIS work, and has conveniently chosen to project HIS laziness and failure to properly measure up to the tasks at hand onto Obama. So it always is among these wacko, self-centered narcissists. CBS News White House reporter Mark Knoller has kept track of presidential vacations for many years now, and his findings indicate that Chump is well on his way to smashing and shattering the all-time mark of presidential vacation time over the past century. Knoller has kept very accurate records of past presidents' time off, and has found that Chump is waaayyy ahead of his predecessors, and that his allegations against Obama were just another Chump LIE.
It would certainly appear that Chump has become the "Golfer-in-chief" rather than our Chief Executive. He got back recently from a 17 day golfing outing at his Bedminster Golf Club in New Jersey, and has spent numerous weekends at his Mar-a-Lago golf course in Florida. He has even visited Camp David twice for 2 days each time. All told, this joker has spent a total of at least 49 days away from the White House on various so-called "working vacations." Pro-rated, this is FAR more than most of his recent predecessors!
When Obama had been in office for the same time as Chump, he had only spent 4 days in Chicago and 17 days at Camp David. In total, Obama spent only all or part of 235 days away from the White House on vacations over two terms totaling eight years. He also spent all or part of another 93 days on working trips to Camp David. That amounts to a mere 328 days. Before Obama, "W" had spent 39 days at Camp David and another 39 at his "ranch" in Crawford, plus one visit totaling 4 days to the Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, ME. W's total vacation time, also spread out over two terms and eight years, tallied up to 1,020 days, making him one of the laziest Presidents of modern times.
Isn't it interesting to note that Chump, who touts himself as a successful businessman, declared bankruptcy NUMEROUS times, and W, who regarded himself as the business president, was, in reality, a FAILED businessman? So much for the credibility of our two most recent Republican Presidents! BOTH were sons of privilege; BOTH took loads of vacation time; and BOTH have been massive liars!
It would be proper to look even further back at the vacation days taken by the previous four Presidents dating back to Jimmy Carter, from 1977 onward.
– Democratic President Bill Clinton spent 345 days away from the White House during his eight years in office.
– Republican President George H. W. Bush was away 543 days during his single four year term in office. Hmmm – like father, like son, perhaps?
– Republican President Ronald Reagan was away from Washington om vacation only 335 days during his eight year presidency.
– Democratic President Jimmy Carter took only 79 days of vacation time during his single four year term at the helm.
So there you have it, my friends. Once again, for the umpteenth time, Donald Chump has been clearly demonstrated to be an irresponsible and reckless pathological liar. The FACT of the matter is that Donald Chump, the President who said he would not go on vacations, has already exhausted Secret Service funds allocated for his protection due to his very frequent getaways! And the S.O.B. hasn't even completed one term in office yet! We taxpayers are NOT getting our money's worth out of this pompous, big-mouthed buffoon! Donald Chump must be sent on a permanent vacation! The earliest opportunity we can grab to kick his sorry ass out of office, the better! We can and MUST send him a giant wake-up call in the 2018 midterm elections by booting his miserably bought-out and corpoeatist CON-servative Republican Party out of power, and keeping them out of control for at least the next two decades! After all, why should we, as members of the 99% MAHORITY, allow these greedy and uncaring members of the uppermost 1% MINORITY to continually slit our throats economically? 😦
