Despite only the four releases this week, I have such a busy week ahead. I doubt I'll have time to see Water for Elephants, Your Highness, Insidious or Burke and Hare, despite declaring I would check out the three former films. Water for Elephants looks like a soppy love triangle-type film and Your Highness has been labelled as a frontrunner for 'Worst Film of the Year'. I always like seeing the widely considered 'Worst of the Year', though I feel I have already seen it with Sucker Punch. Still, if I see neither of these films, I won't lose any sleep. Perhaps I'll lose sleep from the creepy Insidious anyway, from the Wan/Whannell pairing that brought us Saw. My friend Mel Garrick interviewed the masters of horror recently. I'll link to her article later.
Water for Elephants - Based on the acclaimed bestseller, Water for Elephants presents an unexpected romance in a uniquely compelling setting. Veterinary school student Jacob meets and falls in love with Marlena, a star performer in a circus of a bygone era. They discover beauty amidst the world of the Big Top, and come together through their compassion for a special elephant. Against all odds - including the wrath of Marlena's charismatic but dangerous husband, Jacob and Marlena find lifelong love. Starring Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz. Seems to be a soppy love story with stunning cinematography, but lacking the chemistry or the emotion to endow it with resonance. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 58%
Your Highness - Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valliant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he's settled for a life of wizard's weed, hard booze and easy maidens. When Fabious' bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off. Sounds like a vehicle for McBride to step out of the supporting-role shadow, where he should be destined to stay, and become the lead that no-one wants. I have heard nothing but terrible feedback; as the comedy exists little outside of the weed and penis jokes, and brings few laughs. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 25%
Burke and Hare - Before finding it on Rotten Tomatoes (where it sits at 29%), I had never heard of this film. Starring Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis and directed by John Landis (Animal House), Burke and Hare is set in 19th Century Ediburgh. Selling cadavers to medical schools was big business in the 1800's, and Burke and Hare think that they can make their fortunes in the industry. The only problem is that there aren't any dead bodies to be found. Sounds like a riot.
Insidious - My promising journalist friend Melanie Garrick recently interviewed James Wan and Leigh Whannell, the co-creators of the cult horror Saw franchise, for TimeOut Sydney. Apparently Insidious was made on a budget even smaller than the original Saw's - just US$800,000 - but it has pulled in solid numbers at the U.S box office. Citing inspiration from real-life ghost stories, Whannell and Wan have built a spine-tingling horror film, recognisably influenced by horror classics, Poltergeist and The Exorcist. Josh (Patrick Wilson) and Renai (Rose Byrne) have a happy family with their three young children. When tragedy strikes their son, Josh and Renai begin to experience things that science cannot explain. While I have heard some qualms about the ending a couple of times, its chilling features are never disputed. Even if it is only nearly as good as Saw, it would be worth a look. Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 66%
My Weekly Recommendation: Insidious

- All components are cast in fine grain high purity casting.
- No firebricks are used in Beckers Heaters.

Installation Options
Type of installation required will depend on layout of room and other factors.
Beckers professionally trained installers will advice you on the best option for maximum benefit.
Important Tips
The ashpit door must never be left open once the fire is burning, leaving the door open will cause overheating. This will damage firebox castings and the glasses will distort and discolour. The high heat position must be used with caution. If heater is run on this position for several hours, overheating and damage may occur. If it is found necessary to burn heater continuously on high for long periods, this is due to one of the following reasons:
1. Heater is too small for area to be heated.
2. Incorrect installation – (see installation instruction sheet).
3. Faulty chimney – lack of draught – down draught or air leaking into chimney through cracks in brickwork in chimney or because fireplace has not sealed correctly.
**Important: This can happen after one winter's use if the control is not fully closed every time the poker is used to clear.
Maintenance Tips
The outside of the heater may be cleaned at anytime after it has been burning at low heat and is no more than warm to touch. Remove any marks on enamel or glass with damp cloth. The glass should be cleaned daily to prevent dust from being burnt onto the glass. The door may be opened for this purpose while the heater is burning. Ensure that the row of holes along the entire width of the basket grate are kept clear of ash at all times, otherwise door glasses may distort – these holes can easily be seen by opening the main glass door.
After Winter
At the end of winter clean heater thoroughly inside and out, service your heater annully. Remove heater, clean chimney elbow of dust and remove the two cleaning covers at the back of the heater, clean all dust and deposits from flues of heater, replace cleaning covers and remake fire cement seal between flue outlet of heater and chimney elbow. For effective service, contact our office. Please Note: If at any time you detect a strong smell throughout the house – at the same time the heater is not burning well – the heater must be cleaned out as above immediately. Insist on quality – ask for BECKER original parts
Helpful Hints when lighting your heater
The following hints will help to make the operating of your anthracite heater easier and keep the emission of dust and fumes to a minimum:
• Before lighting always preheat the chimney or flue pipe by burning a few sheets of loosely crumpled paper in the heater.
• The easiest way to light a heater is with a few firelighters and some charcoal or very dry wood. When the wood catches alight it should create a good bed of coals, add the anthracite until the heater is full as recommended in the instruction.
• Leave the ash door slightly open whilst starting the fire enabling oxygen to feed the fire. Once the anthracite is burning close the door.
• Before refueling or cleaning your heater, always turn the heater to a high setting for about 20 minutes to enable the heater and flue to heat up which increases the draught. This means that when you open the top or front of the heater to refuel air will be drawn into the heater instead of smoke escaping. Remember that whenever you open the top door to refuel ensure that the air control and ash door is fully closed. Burning your heater on a high setting for a few minutes also ensures small nuts of anthracite to burn completely, making cleaning much simpler.
• After shaking the grate or using the poker to move ash into the ash pan, leave the ash door closed for a few minutes to allow the dust to settle.
• It may happen at times that some anthracite, which has burnt, may solidify or only burn slightly. This may prevent all the ash from being cleared or the anthracite from dropping onto the grate. When cleaning your heater before making the fire, ensure that the grids are free of these small nuts or solidified anthracite. This would enable a greater draught creating a fiercer fire and would also allow for the grid control to move more freely
**We wish you many warm, happy years of using your heater.**

Last Monday and today, Wednesday, I posted a series of questions on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. And I am going to post them again on Friday and finally on Sunday,
What about being BLACK makes you PROUD?
what makes you PROUD to be BLACK?
What is your SOURCE of BLACK PRIDE?
So far only one person has responded.
He did not address the question posed and stated that he wasn't ashamed of his racial makeup.
I have suggested that this is not the same as being proud… I await his response.
It is important as I ask this question that I explain what I mean and answer the question myself.
My source of Black Pride is history. I take great pride in being a descendant of those who fought to survive.
Think about being captured and sold away from all you know.
The gruelling MIDDLE PASSAGE.
The Auction Block.
The Slave Quarters.
The life of doom and fear!!
The long hard days.
The complete disregard of humanity.
Someone from who I descended, MY ANCESTOR, in the face of all of this, s/he, they looked up and through tears and terror and chose LIFE!!
The Fierce Warrior refused to be beaten, even as days, turned to years and made children in the face of a capricious existence, not out of stupidity but out of tenacious determination.
I am very proud of that.
I am proud of the people on the Continent from which my ancestors were taken.
I recently did a DNA test in an attempt to learn about where and who I come from.
I have struggled to accept and forgive the portion of me that is from Europe. Yes forgive!! because I have no historical reason to believe that this was a love connection.
Learning that my DNA is from East and South Africa, in addition to West Africa feels me with curiosity and celebration.
I am proud of the existence of my people on the North American Continent.
The songs, the dances, the poems, the novels, the LOVE!!!! that we create and express in the face of GENOCIDE, SEGREGATION, ENSLAVEMENT!!
Sweet Jesus, DO YOU HEAR ME!!!
In the face of JimCrowSegregation we thrived.
In the face of SLAVERY we jumped the broom
We have yet to get a fair deal on the continent,
yet to have full citizenship and humanity and yet we THRIVE!!!
I am so proud of that!!

The collection titled 'Lucidly Yours', draws inspiration from an introspective feeling of romance, and a distorted slow tempo timeline. An ethereal like skate vibe, not to be taken too literal. The graphic story draws references and elements from a lucid dream concept and Electroencephalogy. Soundtracks for the season is somewhere between Cocteau Twins 'Lorelei' and Jesus Mary Chain 'Never Understand'.

Super Bowl Foods that are Dangerous to Your Pets
Super Bowl parties are a great time to get together with other people to celebrate, have fun, and of course eat lots of good food. But what could be good to you is not for your pets.
PetMD put together a list of 5 foods that you would find at your Super Bowl party that can be dangerous to your cats and dogs.
- Alcohol – Just a few ounces of beer, or any type of alcoholic drink, can cause ethanol poisoning. Signs of poisoning include involuntary urinating, hypothermia, slowed breathing, and even heart attacks.
- Chicken Wings – This goes without saying that your pet can choke on the bone but also wings are filled with salt, which can be very harmful to dogs and cats. Too much salt can cause high blood pressure and can contribute to kidney and heart disease.
- Chocolate – Your pet has to eat a lot of chocolate for it to be harmful but chocolate contains a compound called theobromine that can be poisonous. It's especially found in chocolate chip cookies and brownies. Chocolate poisoning can cause heart arrhythmias, muscle tremors, and seizures.
Soda – Caffeine can cause your dog or cat to suffer from restlessness, breathing issues, heart palpitations, and muscle tremors.
- Guacamole – Too much garlic and onions can cause gastrointestinal issues, elevated heart rate, and red blood cell damage. While too much avocado can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and lack of stool production.
Have fun and eat lots of good food but don't forget about your furry family members because we love them too and don't want anything bad to happen to them

Save on Grocery Costs
Here's how:
Avoid impulse buys
Did you know that half of all shoppers go the grocery store three or four times a week and that more than half of all supermarket purchases are unplanned? It adds up: shoppers making a "quick trip" to a store usually purchase 54% more than they planned, according to a study published by the Marketing Science Institute.
The easy solution is to cut back on the number of times you go to the grocery store. If you go three times a week and spend $10 on impulse buys each trip, that adds up to $120 extra per month. But if you go only once a week, you'll spend $40 per month on impulse buys. That saves you $80 per month, or $960 per year. Simple as that.Trade Down
More consumers are trying private labels, and even making them their brands of choice. You should, too. After all, they've come a long way, and the savings are significant. In fact, Tod Marks, senior projects editor forConsumer Reports says that for a family that spends $100 a week on groceries, the savings could add up to more than $1,500 a year. Besides, who doesn't like Costco's Kirkland Signature Handcrafted Lagers and Ales?
Cook From Scratch
No more pricey prepared foods! Have your weekly menus laid out in advance so that you're as precise as possible when stocking the pantry (no wasting!) and make double/triple batches (freezing the rest). Sites like 5dollardinners.com make it both easy and fun.
Join Loyalty Programs
Women have been in this game for a while, and now men are getting in on the fun, too. Everyone enjoys seeing how much they have saved -- day of; the year's total -- because it makes us feel empowered, according to The 2010 American Pantry Study.
Become an Extreme Couponer
Never mind clipping every now and then. Up the ante -- and boost your savings! -- by combining store coupons with manufacturer coupons. And go electronic: register your store card at Cellfire and load it up; coupon amounts will be deducted from your total grocery bill.
Get the App
While there are numerous apps to help you save money at the grocery store, one of the best is Grocery IQ. In fact, USA Today hails it as "one of the top five iPad aps of all time." It can locate free coupons while you're roaming the aisles, and then help you apply them to your grocery bill at checkout.

Did you know that you can add things to the list? Small additions to your AutoText can make typing much quicker. One of my favorites that I created for myself are smiley faces. I created short cuts for
To use when typing in BBM or an email. Having to use the alt key to get at these keys is a pain. So I use "words" to create them. For example hud = :-D and hup = :-P and huy = :-)
I even made a FU = (•͡. •͡)┌П┐
I also use d to make the word "the". In the attached pics you can see that I also made one for bb (BlackBerry, with the proper capitalization).
It can also be used in BBM for all those hidden emoticons that were posted on the internet a while back. The bblogo and boombox in the above picture.
How to make one:
In OS4.5 and OS5
Click options, then click AutoText. Once in this window, take a look at all the existing entries, so you know what is already there. Then to create a new entry, click the menu ( ) and select NEW. Enter under "Replace" the word you wish to replace (like bb). Then enter under the "With" the replacement word. Smartcase will capitalize the word if its at the beginning of a sentence. Specified case will leave the word exactly as it appears in the "With" section.
In OS6
From the home screen, type word sub and click on the Options icon. From there is exactly the same as above.
You can use this to replace your initials with your full name or even for a website url. If you create them as you think of them, it can make your typing a lot quicker :-)

So, I just got my Green Lantern "Black Lantern" ring (Yeah, yeah, I went over to the dark sided in more way than one. Not only did I buy the first Dark Lantern story but I'm now blogging about it — you'll have to forgive me, my comics guy is going to be at SDCC next week, so I'm going to have to go without my weekly fix for a week and next week Amazing Spider-Man #600 will be out!).
I haven't read the actual comic yet (as I said, I'm storing up for next week), but I did read the Free Comic Book Day giveaway, and I've been wearing the very cool ring. (Unavoidable aside, the world of Green Lantern is apparently more like a Dr. Suess book these days what with all the colors of Lantern Corps there are out there.)
Still I have only now just learned that I apparently can't get the fool-thing to work unless I'm dead.
So I have to ask, since my comicbook career is (apparently) dead, shouldn't that count?
This is the place where I discuss all things Sacred and Profane. Stop by and check me out. Leave a comment (or not), as this is done for my own amusement. If you too are entertained, all the better, but that is not the motivation here. For I, am a...Writer with attitude! Comics, Sci Fi, movies, TV, Books, the Internet, Pop Culture, you name it. I talk about all of these things and more. These are the things that entertain me. I can only hope that some of them will entertain you as well.

The objective processes which are passing now in system of scientific knowledge, lead to origination and wide development of applied scientific disciplines of difficult character. It creates requirement for development of new type of the terms combining reflexion of scientific and practical concepts of different branches of knowledge. Specificity of each concrete scientific discipline finds the reflexing in a terminology, and specificity revealing terminology different branches of scientific knowledge allows bringing in new refinement to problems, as terminology, and terms as a whole. The English-speaking terminology of a pipe-line transport is formed taking into account the structurally-language factors caused by laws of language, and the extra linguistic factors influencing development of a terminology of given scientific and technical activity owing to what is not static formation, and language as a whole is exposed to constant transformations, as well as. The observed terminology reflects as a language condition in a concrete period, and is the tool of its subsequent development.
The English transport terminology, different centuries-old history, and also prompt development now, finds fuller reflexing both in English, and in Russian general dictionaries. Thus the attention is deserved by that fact that as a whole, the English general dictionary fixes more quantity of transport terms, representing more than hierarchical levels of 137 logo-conceptual schemes of the given systems. Before to a common word to become the term, it should undergo to semantic specialization through its use in special contexts. These terms bring with themselves from everyday lexicon such signs which can already be expressed in new concept and are taken as a principle metaphorical carrying over. Thus, the form known already speaks about «the new» maintenance. «The metaphor is a transfer of meaning on similarity of external or internal signs, and also functions». The Major factors promoting hyphenation as terminological names from common-literary language:
1) the logic factor when at different concepts reveals identical signs;
2) the psychological factor, consisting that names are given to new objects on the basis of associative communication between available signs at already known and signs of new objects;
3) the linguistic factor, connected with semantic, grammatical,
4) the sociological factor, consisting that a considerable quantity of terms undertakes from the system of terms, the areas most developed for everyone epoch.
Term is engaged in studying of the special lexicon used by people in the professional work. Definition of the basic lines of special lexicon and methods of work with it has features of replenishment and models of its formation as the theoretical value connected with the decision of problems of purely linguistic character. At work with terms it is necessary to observe such cases quite often, when as the term with widely embrace value are called objects, having concrete designations that also can slow down in what -that degrees dialogue process in the situations demanding exact, concrete and the fast information. For example: «vehicle» — any transportation means; «transportation» — any kind of conveyance, transportation. Concept «the mixed message» — «combine transportation» (a transportation of freight in the mixed message) it is concretized by the words specifying in it different production engineering — «multimodal» («multimodal» — conveyance on to one deed). Multimodal cargo transportation. At such conveyances the transport company organizes delivery of a cargo by means of several aspects of transport facilities, for example, automobile and a railway transportation or automobile and air transport. Each transport company but only skilled and large firm as they demand constant control of a location of a cargo, necessity to make out a considerable quantity of deeds, to co-ordinate harmonious work of transport at each stage of delivery can offer multimodal conveyances not. Multimodal conveyances are actual on delivery a cargo in other country or on other continent. "Intermodal» («intermodal» — cargo conveyance in cargo units: containers, trailers etc.). Intermodal conveyances. They are similar to the multimodal. Difference consists that the cargo all road is in one transport means. For example, initially the cargo is located in the car which then calls in in the transport or on the vessel. With their help the car is forwarded to a certain place, whence continues traffic under the own steam. As at intermodal conveyances there is no necessity some times to overload a cargo from one transport in other, given aspect of conveyances provides high preservation of a cargo. While translating these terms can mix up that leads to errors in understanding concrete material.
In a transport terminology it is not always possible already fixed though, maybe, not absolutely «successful» term to replace to other, meeting installed demands. Existence at once two terms can create known inconveniences, lead to mess. Thus, scientists recommend replacing the term only then, «When the new term has obvious and indisputable advantages before the old terms. A heading of transportations of freight in «the mixed message», operations personifying logistical sequence, led to that the English term «forwarder» («forwarding agent») recently, It began to be replaced with the term «logistics provider», and it is true.
The big role in term creation is played by its motivation, i.e. «Its semantic transparency, property of its form to give representation about concept named the term». Terminological structure of the term, defined elements of terms and term — models, a definition inform us on its motivation, induct into the concrete notional area. Founders always reflected and think of, how to define term structure that in it have been considered as it is possible more expressively the basic, essential signs of concept, that in the term maintenance the certain system were most full reflected. Communications and a place in concrete notional system. Probably therefore, some official Russian names for specialized carriages on a railway transportation were gained too long, but correctly orienting and system. For example, the term «a gondola car for conveyance technological crampon and short-length wood», in it is really full reflected both patrimonial, and specific signs: system communication with patrimonial concept is shown «The specialized carriage», distinctive features are specified, defining its appointment. But at the same time this term will not be to meet other demands. In spite of the fact that at standardization to it did not pay attention, railroaders, being oriented on the English alternative, for a long time already the gondola cars name. Thus, we agree with V. P. Danileko, confirming on our instance that all demands made to the term unequal. If such demands as uniqueness, brevity, introduction is possible to refer to obligatory as they provide achievement of a main objective of standardization of a nomenclature, the others are only desirable.
V. M. Leychik results the major factors promoting carrying over words in the capacity of terminological names from the common-literary Language: 1) the logic factor when at different concepts reveal the identical signs; 2) the psychological factor, consisting that names the new to installations are given on the basis of associative communication between available Signs at already known and signs of new installations; 3) the linguistic factor, connected with semantic, grammatical, stylistic aspects of intersystem loan of the lexical units; 4) the sociological factor, consisting that the big quantity of terms undertakes from system of terms the most developed for each epoch of areas. In development of the English transport system of terms the opposite trend to brevity acts also designations. To professional lexicon in process formation of terms is widely adopted.
Abbreviation — any abbreviation used by specialists for Sweeping message transfer over communication channels, for example: "A and A" — Adjustments and Allowances," "CCS" — Cargo Community System. For the purpose of training of experts to difficult language of abbreviations special branch dictionaries of reductions are created. The majority abbreviation units are the uniform accepted variants in the entire world; therefore, possessing concrete semantics, they do not cause the special difficulties while translating on other languages. It is necessary to note that use of abbreviations, as a way abbreviation of transfer of the verbal information, extended for the account abbreviation, and then transfers of processes.

So, I'm usually late to any party—and binge watching a program is no exception. One of the pitfalls of not having the premium movie channels on cable is I also don't get the exclusive series at first airing and have to learn about new ones through friend recommendations.
A friend asked, about a year ago if I had seen Penny Dreadful and I said I had not. OMG! Friend about had a cow falling over himself telling me all about this series and oh, by the way, he'd DVR'ed so we could watch. Friend and I talked about gothic literature, how uptight the Victorians were perceived to be, had the age old conversation of good versus evil, heaven against hell, darkness versus light. I about fell out of my chair when friend said, "I've watched the whole first season and I've yet to figure out who Penny Dreadful is."
WHOA! Stop right there. Penny Dreadful isn't a person. Penny Dreadful is a thing. Penny dreadfuls were the precursor to the modern comic books, the early edition of Tales from the Crypt if you will. Perhaps the most famous of them was Varney the Vampire, which ran from 1845 to 1847 and was over 237 chapters. These were printed on a single broadsheet and sold for a penny. And, they were dreadful—usually full of gore and blood and violence, or as much as could be depicted in uptight Victorian society. Hence the name "penny dreadful". Bram Stoker (of Dracula fame) got his start as a penny dreadful writer.
At any rate, I watched the first three episodes at my friend's home and was hooked. Had to then buy the first two seasons on DVD and I binge watched every single episode and then sat on pins and needles until Season Three came out and tried to avoid spoilers. One of the most literate series on television and it was only meant to last three seasons. Well, DAMN!
So, if you haven't seen Penny Dreadful, treat yourself and start binge watching. Keep an eye out for Dr. Frankenstein, the Monster (and thank you to the producers who kept the original Shelley vision of the creature in that he was articulate and didn't stumble around as if he was drunk), the Monster's Bride, Dracula (and no, he does not sparkle!), a werewolf…yeah, it was a great series.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so looking forward to having a few days off this week. yay! I love Thanksgiving time...for many reasons. Yummy food, time with family, rest, the start of Christmas, but most of all, I love reflecting on the blessings in my life and the goodness of God. 2009 has been a very challenging year for us...but I have been able to draw closer to the Lord through everything. Good and Bad! A few things I recall off the top of my head....my kidney stone, tim's skin cancer scare, career changes (and everything that goes along with that!). However, I got through my kidney stone, Tim has no cancer to be found, and Tim got a new job and will be getting day shift at the first of the year! PRAISE THE LORD!!! Those are just the main things that just jump out to me first. Through those tough times, there were way more good times! We have found the Lord to be faithful in all times...in every season. I am so in love with my sweet hubby and love how he LOVES and serves the Lord and LOVES me second. I love my family with all my heart, I love my home, I adore my puppy, I'm thankful for good health, I'm thankful that the Lord meets our financial needs, I love my church, I love working with teenagers and sharing Christ with them, I am thankful for my job, I am thankful for my good friends, I love love the little fun tidbits of life, and most of all I thank the Lord for saving me and completly changing my life! Finally, I am hitting a mile stone birthday this Saturday......25! Boohoo! That really makes me feel like I am an adult or something. I must say, I'm a little sad. But, I love birthdays! I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving! xoxo

Post from Amy Trenton
According to some surveys, about 95% of people 75 years old and older claim they want to stay in their homes indefinitely. Their desire to stay independent is perfectly natural. However, for their children, it can create a lot of stress and concern. As people get older the chances of them falling, forgetting their medications, or having unexpected emergencies significantly increase, and older persons living alone can be especially at risk when things of this nature occur.
Emergency Alarm Solutions Help Seniors Stay Independent
This is precisely why so many elderly people desire to get a personal emergency alert system. It provides peace of mind for their children and extends the amount of time they can stay in their home and feel reasonably independent. Medical emergency alerts offer immediate assistance for the elderly. Emergency alert systems are also often used by patients recuperating after surgery.
Children of Seniors Can Rest Assured Their Loved One is Safe
These personal safety alert systems help the children of aging parents rest assured that their loved one will be responded to quickly should they tumble down the stairs, forget their medication, leave the stove on, or experience some other emergency. These systems prevent accidents from happening without anyone around to notice and help. This service enables the children of seniors to feel at ease about their parents living at home.
Features and Benefits to Look For
For those looking for the best personal emergency alarm solution to get for their parent, there are numerous important things to look for. There are several factors that people need to know about in order to make the best decision.
Choosing a medical alert company is a big decision. Here are some of the questions that should be addressed when researching a emergency alert system company:
- Do their panic buttons have a range of at least 600 ft?
- Are their on-call attendants EMD certified?
- Do they offer panic button monitoring?
- What is their average response time?
- Are the alert buttons water proof?
- Is the service willing to take non-medical emergency calls when help is needed?
- Are they heavily involved in the manufacturing process of their equipment or are they only distributors?
- What is the backup battery life on their products?
- How long have they been in the industry? What do current customers say about the company?
- Is month to month pricing with purchase option available?
- How often do they test the system to ensure optimal performance?
Does My Parent Need A Medical Emergency to Use the Solution?
Rescue Alert is one company that fulfills all of the above requirements. One of the things that sets Rescue Alert apart from other medical monitoring companies is that they allow their users to use the system when they need help even if it is not a medical emergency. In fact, only about 6% of all the calls received are actually medical emergencies. Rescue Alert is willing to provide their customers help for virtually any type of medical need they have.
There are several reputable companies that provide a quality emergency alert system. Finding the right one is not difficult if you know the right questions to ask. By using the information provided above, a person is better prepared to identify the best provider.
Author Bio: Amy Trenton is a marketing representative of Rescue Alert, a manufacturer of personal medical alert systems. Amy enjoys providing tips for caretakers of elderly loved ones.

Reading up on SANs
What literature would you recommend for a newcomer to learn about SANs?
Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of books to read on SANs. I have an updated version of my book coming out in a couple months that addresses SANs in greater depth across more diverse technologies. It feels funny saying so, but I definitely recommend getting this when it comes out.
Other than that, Tom Clark's book is pretty good for understanding how Fibre Channel works and Alan Benner's and Robert Kembel's books on Fibre Channel, although they are both oriented to engineers. As far as magazines go, InfoStor publishes a lot of articles on SAN technology and products. A lot of the articles in InfoStor come from vendors, so you have to always consider the source of each article, but the editorial perspective of the magazine is excellent: open minded with healthy skepticism.
Other books on related topics that I really like are "In search of clusters" by Gregory Pfister and "The switch book" by Rich Seifert. Both are fantastic in their ability to mix humor with great descriptions of challenging material.

It used to be that Hollywood notables would wait until they reached the autumn of their years before penning an autobiography. Not so with Jon Cryer, who at the young age of fifty, has packed about two lifetimes worth of tales into his new book, "So That Happened: a Memoir". Yes, he dishes on his "Two and a Half Men" co-star Charlie Sheen, but if you only read those chapters, you'll miss the part where Jon was exposed to prostitutes at an early age, or how he was replaced by Mighty Mouse in a vitamin commercial, or all about his romance with Demi Moore, or how Brittney Spears once saved him from the paparazzi, or how he got invited to a sleep-over at the Playboy mansion. That's right, mild mannered Jon Cryer has had a lot of weird experiences, but there's a reason for that, as he explained to me, "There must be something about me that wants insanity in my life, because I ran into a fair amount of it for a guy who just wanted to be an actor."

Hello, kind humans. I hope you didn't mind that I took Furiday off yesterday. Even though I want to spread the word about special needs cats, including diabetic cats, I need a day off from time to time. I hope you are enjoying your Caturday.
Today I wanted to share with you good news about our furiends Lucky and Bindy. If you have been reading my blog at all, you know that Lucky and Bindy were victims of horrible abuse on the part of cruel humans. But while their stories started out very sadly, the outpouring of love from you humans turns those sad stories into happy ones.
Lucky continues to heal well, and he is going to become even more famous. On Monday, June 3, between 9:30 and 10 AM, Lucky's story is going to be shared on Fox 5 in Washington DC. It looks like it is possible to watch them live, so if you can, watch his story.
And Lucky is such a modest guy. He claims to be just a humble orange tabby, but you and I know that he is a special kitty. All of the humans at the Homeless Animals Rescue Team in Fairfax have fallen in love with him, as have the vets at the Parkway Veterinary Clinic.
And poor Bindy, who was abused because she was a "bad cat" for getting pregnant, is improving as well. She is going to need long term fostering, medical care, and lots of love. Her foster human is happy to give this to her.
The poor girl is still underweight, so she needs to gain more weight before the humans at Michigan Cat Rescue can make an assessment of how her kidneys and liver are doing. But she will get all the support she needs to recover.
Interestingly enough, being underweight despite eating a lot is also a sign of being a diabetic cat. I do not think Bindy is, but keep that in mind for your feline furiends.
Bindy is a very shy cat, which makes perfect sense after being abused. But she is socializing with the other cats in her foster human's home, and continues to eat on her own. This is a long way from where she was when she was first taken in.
These stories start off sadly, but because of compassionate humans, they can end happily. Remember, organizations like the ones that are helping Lucky and Bindy can always use help. Help doesn't always mean money. Sometimes it means just volunteering and taking care of the furiends they've rescued. Won't you be like the very kinid humans at HART and Michigan Cat Rescue and spend some time with furiends who need it?
That would warm this diabetic cat's heart.

Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold: Despite Lingering Questions, the Positives Predominate
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold has increasingly become a cause for head-scratching. There are, however, lots of reasons to believe that the big mining -- and now oil and gas -- company can be compelling for investors willing to exhibit patience.
But for now, there clearly are questions surrounding the company. And while a presentation by CEO Richard Adkerson at last week's Sanford C. Bernstein's Annual Strategic Decision Conference was quite informative, it failed to address some of the uncertainties currently swirling around Freeport. Unbeknownst to most investors, the major uncertainty has Russian tracks on it.
Freeport's big -- and expanding -- Cerro Verde copper mine in Peru.
As you likely know, Freeport and Newmont MiningCorporation are endeavoring to deal with apparent economic confusion on the part of the government of Indonesia. Freeport operates the massive Grasberg copper and gold complex in Papua, Indonesia. Similarly, Colorado-based Newmont is the proprietor of the country's Batu Hijau mine in southern Taliwang Regency. Together, the two companies are responsible for 97% of Indonesia's copper production.
Putinesque prodding
But since January, both have been attempting to inject sense into Indonesia's powers that be regarding a new prohibition against unprocessed minerals being exported from the country -- that, despite a dramatic shortage of processing facilities in the country. It's also worth knowing that Freeport shares more than 50% of its Grasberg profits with the government and employs more than 30,000 Indonesians. According to Adkerson, Vladimir Putin and his minions are encouraging the government's senselessness.
How that situation eventuates -- and how rapidly it does so -- are clearly key concerns regarding Freeport. But I'm hit by other uncertainties about the company:
- Like all who follow Freeport, I wonder where copper demand and prices may be headed. You see, I'm somewhat less sanguine about the economy of China -- which uses 40% of the world's output of the red metal -- than most other observers.
- Early in May, Freeport-McMoRan unloaded its Eagle Ford oil and gas interests to Encana for $3.1 billion. It then acquired deepwater Gulf of Mexico assets from Apache Corporation for$1.4 billion. The company was already active in the Gulf. Indeed, in March, it was the high bidder on 20 tracts in a Central Gulf lease sale. My perhaps ill-founded concern is that it's proverbially placing too many of its energy eggs in one high-cost and somewhat chancy basket.
Indonesian talks this week
As to the likely timing for a resumption of full production at Grasberg, which would obviously require an agreement between Freeport and the Indonesian government, Adkerson told those at the Bernstein conference that, "solidly, Indonesia is (for him) priority number one." He is reportedly in Jakarta this week for talks with Indonesia's newly appointed economic minister.
As to copper demand, Adkerson pointed to a study done by the respected natural resources consultant Wood Mackenzie, which forecasts a need for almost 7.5 million tons of new copper over the next decade. However, the output from existing mines is expected drop by 20% during the same period. The obvious shortfall will need to be met largely by the expansion of existing facilities.
With its long-lived assets, this projection is right in Freeport's sweet spot. In addition to moving underground at Grasberg, which has previously been solely a surface mine, the company is expanding its Cerro Verde mine in Peru. It also has a number of projects on the drawing board in the U.S. and likely will further increase the capacity of its Tenke Fungurume copper and cobalt operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Long-term optimism
Adkerson said Freeport isn't in the business of predicting near-term copper prices. But he noted that, "We feel positive about long-term markets and the structure of our business to operate effectively at various prices."
The closest he came to responding to my (unexpressed) question about the wisdom of the Eagle Ford sales and Gulf asset purchases was to say, "The big challenge in the deepwater is to have discoveries that are large enough to support the major development of new facilities."
Foolish conclusion
We'll apparently have to let the company's oil and gas strategy play out before we can judge whether jumping almost exclusively into the deepwater Gulf makes sense. Having said that, I see Freeport-McMoRan (whose shares I own) as a company whose positive surprises are likely to outnumber the negatives in the years ahead.
OPEC is absolutely terrified of this game-changer
Imagine a company that rents a very specific and valuable piece of machinery for $41,000 per hour (That's almost as much as the average American makes in a year!). And Warren Buffett is so confident in this company's can't-live-without-it business model, he just loaded up on 8.8 million shares. An exclusive, brand-new Motley Fool report reveals the company we're calling OPEC's Worst Nightmare. Just click HERE to uncover the name of this industry-leading stock... and join Buffett in his quest for a veritable landslide of profits!

Hey friends! I have a quick lil' post for you today. As you may have noticed I have yet again changed the look of the blog. It seems I am never satisfied and feel the need to perpetually strive for AESTHETIC PERFECTION.
At any rate, I'm digging the new, clean look. And what better to pair with a new clean blog than a recipe for you to get yourself a NEW CLEAN TOILET? Ok, maybe not new, but clean, ever so clean.
Unlike cleaning your tub, you don't really have to get down and dirty with your toilet bowl in order to clean it properly (if you are, you are doing it wrong). However, a lot of products are marketed to make you feel like you have to exert little to no energy whatsoever in order to clean your toilet. But you know what, you should have to work a little. Not hard, but would like a few scrubs KILL YOU? No. It wouldn't.
Of course with conventional toilet bowl cleaners you are looking at corrosive ingredients like chlorine bleach and hydrochloric acid, which can irritate your skin and eyes, and can be quite unpleasant/deadly if ingested. Aside from the conventional products there are a host of "eco-friendly" options that use plant and mineral based ingredients, are non-toxic, biodegradable, etc. I tend to be a little skeptical sometimes about a lot of these products, because there is an unhealthy amount of green-washing going around these days, and really, if you can make something that rivals, and/or out performs store-bought products, then why bother buying anything?
Here's what you'll need:
- ½ cup baking soda
- ¼ cup white vinegar
- 10 drops of tea tree oil
Here's what you'll do:
- Combine.
- Pour.
- Scrub.
- Done.
This recipe is SO EASY and works SO WELL that I promise that you will never use anything ever again.

Welcome from the Foundation Chair
Since 1983 NEO's Development Foundation has been committed to providing scholarships to deserving students. Last year alone the Foundation gave $135,000 in scholarships to students and endowed six new scholarships with principal funds of $115,000. The Foundation currently has 18 board members who dedicate their time and work closely with Dr. Jeff Hale, President of Northeastern A&M College, to raise funds from the public to fund future scholarships.
Oklahoma legislators have cut appropriations to NEO A&M College a staggering $3,000,000 over the past decade with $2,000,000 of the cuts occurring in the last 3 years. Dr. Jeff Hale continues to meet the challenge and burden caused by these cuts head on. The importance of NEO's Development Foundation is more critical today than any time in our college's history. NEO needs your support to continue the good fight.
NEO's student body core group continues to come from the counties of Ottawa, Delaware, and Craig counties in Oklahoma. However, we have students in attendance from a total of 62 counties in Oklahoma, 35 states, and 15 countries outside the United States. NEO's reputation for success in a student's chosen field of education is exceptional! We have become a multi-cultural college in the NE corner of Oklahoma that enhances our students' college experience.
On November 3, 2018 the Foundation held its annual fundraising gala. The event was well attended and more than $70,000 was raised. The success of this event is attributed to the individuals and businesses that donated items to the auction, the individuals and businesses that purchased tables for the banquet, and all the people who purchased the donated items. Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College and the NEO Development Foundation Thank You.
David Thomas
Welcome from the Director
Dear Alumni and Friends,
It is an honor to serve as Executive Director of the NEO Development Foundation. As a native of Miami and NEO alumna, I am proud to be a third generation of NEO graduates, so my roots as a Norseman run deep.
From academics to athletics, the NEO Foundation has worked to support student scholarships, faculty development, building projects, and campus initiatives. Founded in 1983, the NEO Foundation has awarded more than $2 million dollars in scholarship funding to deserving NEO students. For many of these students, realizing the dream of a college education would not be possible without support from the NEO Foundation.
Led by an enthusiastic Board of Trustees, the NEO Foundation has experienced dramatic growth the past few years. By focusing investments on long-term growth while balancing the wishes of our donors with the needs of the college, the Foundation has more than $6 million in assets.
We remain grateful to our alumni and friends for the tremendous support of the NEO Foundation. On behalf of the students, faculty and staff of NEO A&M College, thank you for your generosity. Together we will continue to carry on the tradition that makes each of us proud to call ourselves Norsemen.
Once a Norseman, Always a Norseman,
Jennifer Walker

News in Brief
Teacher-Evaluation Bill on Hold in California
A controversial bill revamping teacher-evaluation requirements in California was put on hold last month by its sponsor, state Rep. Felipe Fuentes.
The move came as a surprising coda to the action on the bill, which was first introduced in 2010 and resurfaced in the last days of the current legislative session. It had cleared an important committee vote earlier in the week and had the backing of the California Teachers Association, but faced critics from business, civil rights, and education advocacy organizations.
The bill from Mr. Fuentes, a Democrat, would have scuttled a 1999 state law specifying that teacher evaluations be based on students' progress toward grade-level standards, as measured by applicable state standardized tests, among other criteria. It would have required districts and unions to bargain over evaluation systems.

Your website domain name is a valuable asset. It is often how people find you online, and could be your trademark. And like any valuable asset, you must be very clear about who the owner is. If you're not the domain name owner, someone else might be able to do things with your domain name that you never wanted.
Domain name owner and the registry
Domain names are sold by domain name registrars, who must keep registries of all of the domain names under their care. These registries tell the world who owns the domain name, how to contact the owner, and how the domain name may be transferred. In essence, the information that appears in the registrar's registry is the best evidence of who actually owns the domain name.
Unfortunately, this often doesn't work the way it should. Many people think that they own their domain name – and in way, technically they do – but their information doesn't appear in the registry, giving them very little practical power.
Registrant vs owner
When dealing with domain names, we must understand that there is often confusion between the terms "registrant" and "owner".
Generally, the registrant is defined as the "registered domain name owner" – so the registrant and owner should be the same person. However, some registrars understand that sometimes people get domain names registered on their behalf (e.g. where you don't know how to register a domain name, and get a friend to do it for you). In this case, registrars can view the registrant as the domain name owner's agent. But what if the relationship between the owner and agent breaks down?
Think about your domain name as a piece of land. When you buy physical property, the deeds office gives you a title deed. If your name appears on the title deed, you can sell the property, rent it, build on it, or do anything else that the law allows. The title deed is proof (or at least very good evidence) that you are the owner. If someone else's name appears on the title deed by mistake, you will have to go to great lengths to prove that you are the real owner, because the initial evidence is skewed against you. And in the meantime, it is very easy for the other person to convince others that he has the power to do things to your property.
In the same way, the registrar's registry is like the title deed for your domain name. If you are the domain name owner, but someone else's name appears as the registrant, you will find it very difficult to stop them from transferring your domain name, or shutting it down, or doing something else with it. This could lead to your website shutting down entirely, and customers being unable to find your business anymore.
Some registrars view the "registrant" position as merely a representative of the owner. Some others will only regard you as the owner if you are listed as the registrant. You can check who is listed as the registrant on your domain by typing your domain name into a WHOis search.
What happens in practice?
It is unfortunately quite common for registrars to have the incorrect name listed as the registrant. Often people will get their website developer or hosting provider to register their domain name on their behalf. Sometimes when this happens, the website developer or hosting provider will put their own names down as the registrant, rather than the person who asked them to register it. We have seen some people hold websites "hostage" in this way. More often than not, this is unlawful.
This is also something that the Internet Service Providers' Association (ISPA) has spoken about. ISPA is the industry body for all internet service providers in South Africa, and includes many website developers and hosting providers. Their code of conduct insists that all members, if asked to register a domain name on a customer's behalf, must put the customer's name down as registrant. This code of conduct isn't binding on non-members, but if your service provider isn't a member of ISPA, you have to wonder why not?
If your company owns the domain name, the company should be listed as the registrant. Because a company is a juristic person, the registrar will also need to know who (or what email address) to contact at the company regarding the domain name. This is a very important and very powerful position, and you must be very careful about who you choose to act in this role (or have access to this email address), and how you manage it. If the person you appoint leaves or gets upset with the company, they will still have power over the domain name until they are removed as the registrant.
How can we help you?
If you are a domain name owner, you must always check – and insist – that your name appears as the registrant. We can help you to:
- Find out who is listed as registrant on your domain name
- Get back a domain name that was stolen from you
- Advise you how to manage your company's domain name

2008 Nonfiction Finalist White Protestant Nation, by Allan J. Lichtman
by Maureen McLane | Feb-13-2009
Each day leading up to the March 12 announcement of the 2008 NBCC awards, we highlight one of the thirty finalists. Today, NBCC board member Maureen N. McLane discusses Allan J. Lichtman's White Protestant Nation: The Rise of The American Conservative Movement (Atlantic Monthly Press)
Pundits and politicos have been exercising themselves for years, if not decades, to account for the emergence of the formerly silent majority—the broad coalition of white southerners, northern white ethnics, exurban fundamentalists, libertarians, ethnic Catholics, and guns-rights and anti-abortion folks who helped install a conservative hegemony in the US since at least the Reagan era. The very phenomenon of the Reagan Democrats—those blue-collar, ethnically self-identified folk who one might have thought would vote Democratic but went for Reagan and his epigones—seemed to cement the wisdom of the young Kevin Phillips, who predicted in 1969, in The Emerging Republican Majority, a southern-tinged resurgence of conservatism and a decisive rightward shift among those formerly considered stalwarts of the old Democratic coalition.
For all the self-congratulation, hope, and anxiety that Obama's election has inspired for those left-of-center (or even middle-of-center, or even sentient), there remains a lurking incredulity: how did those guys get away with it for all those years? And is this country really so polarized? The shallow yet not insignificant popularity of Sarah Palin suggested that a red-meat-eating, gun-toting, moose-killing, Russki-hating, America-First-ing sensibility still lingered in the republic, and that a slice of the voting population would hail its representative, shiny, fertile, well-dressed and well–coiffed as she was.
Allan J. Lichtman's White Protestant Nation asks us to take a longer, more complicated view. He locates the rise of the American conservative movement not in the McCarthyite paranoias of the '50s; not in the counter-counter-cultural thrust of those disgusted with hippies, liberals, and radicals in the late '60s and early '70s; but rather in the 1920s—that infamous decade more usually taken up as "the Jazz Age," but which a long cold look might also render "The Klan Age." Lichtman's history is deeply researched yet lucidly and even spiritedly written: he takes us on an assured tour of the country in its many modes—the status of Prohibition; the upsurge of the Klan; the weaving of religious recoil with intellectual dismay at the ascendancy of godless relativists. Lichtman is writing in a field often and well-trod; it is a measure of his authority that his book, while touching on old-familiars, weaves a dense cultural and political history into something accessible, rich, and strange.
Litchtman is particularly strong in sorting out ideological currents from political contingencies. He shows us how the American conservative movement is not, in fact, homologous with libertarianism: one fascinating thread in the book is the tension between these strains, not least in the improbable career of Barry Goldwater. Lichtman is especially good at identifying what he calls the "anti-pluralist" strain of American thought: it is this—not states' rights, not limited government, not the Second Amendment—that unites a recognizable conservative movement in the US from the 1920s onward. I think Lichtman is right, and that any future historian will have to debate him most intensively if he or she wishes to shift the terrain.
Lichtman reads American conservatism as a kind of ethnic nationalism—something we are perhaps more prepared to recognize in other new nations, anxious to consolidate their identity. Conservatives, as Lichtman identifies them, completely reject pluralism, ethnic, religious, or otherwise. The Klan, in its apogee, was completely establishment, as ordinary as your local grocer and the Methodist church, relying on identification as white protestants, implicitly defined against Catholics, Jews, and of course, Negroes. One of the fascinating shifts in twentieth-century conservatism is the growing accommodation with Catholics: William F. Buckley's National Review factors large in this account, perhaps too large, as the ideological brains of the operation in the '60s and beyond. But Lichtman's account of a hypertrophied identitarian cultural politics of "white" "protestant" "nationalists" is wholly persuasive. He has tracked a whole mode of cultural patriotism alien to the more cosmopolitan and assimilationist projects of such progressive thinkers as Randolph Bourne (see his amazing essay, "Transnational America").
Lichtman is especially good at challenging and even debunking received wisdom, though he doesn't set out (only) to do so. He identifies a "Southern strategy" as early as the 1920s; argues contra David Brooks that American conservatism was always radical, always a root-and-branch outfit and not an outpost of measured Burkean traditionalism. Thus conservatives looked askance not only at Gerald Ford, the hapless golfing-accidental president, but at Nixon and Reagan himself, as well as George W. Bush. Eisenhower was another slippery character, as far as conservatives saw it. Lichtman argues, moreover, that American conservatism is as much a phenomenon of modernity as liberalism (or progressivism or what have you); we'd be very stupid to accept standard conservative rhetoric celebrating traditionalism as the actual explanatory historical or ideological narrative of the movement. You can't go home again, or at least, you can't go home to the eighteenth-century again. But you can always go back to ethnic nationalism, in the US as elsewhere, and Lichtman has made a strong case that that's what American conservatives have been doing for almost one hundred years.
I write here in a borderline ideological key Lichtman himself scrupulously avoids; he addresses twentieth-century American conservatism as a deeply serious, humanly significant phenomenon to be analyzed seriously, without contempt and without prejudgment. For those looking for actual historical nuance, Lichtman will be highly illuminating. Polemicists of all stripes are encouraged to leave their weapons and preconceptions at the door. Yet one can't help but see that polemicists of a progressive stripe will find much here to stoke their fires: there's been a long antipluralist racialist—if not outright racist—strand in mainstream American politics for a long while, and it remains to be seen whether contemporary debates about immigration, welfare, asylum, etc. will escape the discourse all too firmly established by decades of white protestant nationalism masquerading as the self-evident order of universal justice and good.

Lazy 4th of July: fireworks and excellent burgers!
Thursday, July 5, 2012 by John Stone
Filed under Daily Blog
We had a fun 4th of July celebration yesterday. I was feeling extraordinarily lazy, and so I didn't do anything more strenuous than grill some burgers and chicken.
We had lots of poblano peppers ready to harvest, so I grilled up a variation on Bobby Flay's Santa Fe Burger. I make this burger with lean ground beef, blue corn tortilla chips, pepper jack cheese and poblano peppers roasted with olive oil, salt & pepper. I also added a little cheddar cheese yesterday, too.
Our two poblano pepper plants have produced far more peppers than we ever expected them to. Not that it's been a problem: we've not a single pepper go to waste. Up until this year we've always purchased poblanos at the store, and those suckers are not cheap. If I recall correctly they run around two bucks each. Our two plants have easily produced more than 40 peppers so far this year, and they are showing no signs of slowing. Not bad for a couple of plants that cost about the same as one pepper at the store.
I'm not sure if I'm going to have time to get a ride in this morning or not. I've already accomplished a couple hours of work this morning, so I might reward myself with a ride before I get back at it.

The legend of Ricky Williams continues to grow, even after the former Miami Dolphins running back retired. On Wednesday, Williams' old Dolphins teammate said the most notorious former marijuana smoker in the NFL frequently used to smoke before games.
"Remember that Buffalo game, the 200-yard game?" Channing Crowder said on his WQAM radio show. "Smoked the night before. Talk to Ricky. He was doing it, that's what he did." (Text via NBCSports' ProFootballTalk).
Williams rushed for 228 yards on 27 carries in that 2002 game, when the Dolphins fell to the Bills 38-21. According to Crowder, Williams used marijuana to help alleviate his own social anxiety.
"Ricky has social anxiety and he smoked weed. Ricky's marijuana didn't affect the team until he got caught smoking," he said. "Him smoking weed, sitting at his house smoking weed, didn't affect anybody but Ricky. He got high and then he sobered up and then he went to practice the next day."
Crowder's retelling of events does spark one big question. The game against the Buffalo Bills he spoke of was played on December 1, 2002, three years before Crowder joined the Dolphins. Either Crowder is retelling stories he heard from other Dolphins secondhand, or something Williams told him long after the incident.
In a tweet on Thursday Crowder backed away from his comments as he noted that he was a senior in high school when Williams had his big game against the Bills. "How would I know what he did b4 the game?" Crowder wrote.
Even Williams is skeptical. On Thursday, he tweeted, "What's all this talk about me smoking before games? I read the story and anyone who knows Channing is laughing because he is really funny."
Williams left the NFL before the 2004 season, shortly after the league issued him a four-game suspension for a positive marijuana test. His "retirement" lasted only a year, as he rejoined the Dolphins for the 2005 season. He played in the Canadian Football League in 2006 while serving a yearlong suspension for his fourth violation of the NFL's drug policy.
As ProFootballTalk notes, NFL players who have not entered into the league's substance abuse program are tested for marijuana only once a year, during the offseason. So it is indeed plausible that Williams could have been smoking during the 2002 season, but not during his comeback (when he was subject to much more frequent drug tests).
