Matt Parsons was brought in to provide healthy competition at the quarterback position and to serve as a competent replacement in the off chance that West Texas Roughnecks starter Micah Brown suffered an injury.
Little did Parsons know, he would be tabbed as the starter at the midway point of the season.
Brown was released and Devin Dominguez, a former Alabama State University quarterback, was signed as Parsons? backup last week, according to Roughneck head coach Brian Brents.
?We thought we needed a change,? Brents said. ?I definitely like the two guys we?ve got right now in Parsons and Devin Dominguez.?
The Roughnecks (2-6) have struggled to score on the offensive side of the ball, averaging 31 points per game. Brents said the number seems like a good amount until you compare it to the Lone Star Football League?s first-place team: The Houston Stallions (7-0) are averaging 56.9 points per game.
?We?re expected to score every possession and we haven?t done that,? Parsons said.
Brents said his offenses? inability to score can be attributed to multiple factors, such as fumbled center-to-quarterback exchanges and underthrown balls.
?We?re just trying to plug up each hole on the boat right now,? Brents said. ?Hopefully we?ll be able to fill all of those holes up and make sure we don?t have any other leaks before our next game.?
West Texas? next scheduled game is against the Rio Grande Valley Magic at 7:05 tonight at State Farm Arena in Hidalgo. The Magic (5-2) are the second-place team in the LSFL standings and defeated the Roughnecks 53-29 in the team?s first meeting on April 21 at Ector County Coliseum.
Parsons said he understands that he is expected to lead a team that is hoping to qualify for the last spot in the LSFL playoffs. To position the last-place Roughnecks for that opportunity, Parsons would have to guide the squad to victories in its final four games. Even if the Roughnecks finish at 6-6, they won?t make the playoffs without some help from the teams above them in the standings.
?That?s the only thing on our mind,? Parsons said of a playoff run. ?The whole team wants to make the playoffs but in order to do that you have to win games. We haven?t been doing that lately. I feel like it has to start with me for a win.?
The 6-foot-6 signal caller started the last two games and came on in relief after Brown struggled in the first half of games earlier this season.
Roughnecks quarterbacks coach Tate Smith said he hopes Parsons? previous experience with Brents? offensive system ? Brents coached Parsons on the El Paso Generals in 2010 ? allows him to be successful down the stretch.
?When you?ve played in a system and come back to it, it?s always easy to pick up,? Smith said. ?It?s like riding a bike. You remember how to do it.?
Parsons said he has struggled to re-acclimate himself with the offense because he is familiarizing himself with a wide receiver corps that he has not played with.
?I still feel like I need more reps to solidify my decisions,? Parsons said. ?I feel I?ve been thinking too much and not trusting my reads and my receivers. That?s something that will come with reps and time.?
Brents said Parsons may not have much time to refine his craft with four games left in the season.
?We need this win,? Brents said. ?Our backs are against the wall and we?re fighting to get into the playoffs.?

Venus
If you have been reading the Astrology forecasts for the Venus transit, you may be feeling a bit confused right now. There is talk of emerging divine feminine energy balancing the male energy which was purified during the latest eclipse of the sun.
There are whispers and rumours about preparing for Ascension in December? all very mystical and difficult to translate to practical day-to-day living for most of us (yes, that includes me!).
On a practical and scientific level it means that Venus (from earth?s perspective) will be crossing the surface of the sun between the 5-6 of June. This only happens every 100-120 years when we get two transits together, 8 years apart.
But the science and the mysticism of it all is probably not why you?re here. You want to know what this transit is going to mean to your relationship and how you can best harness the energy and magick of it all, right?
This Venus transit is retrograde in the sign of versatile, playful, witty and flitty Gemini. The energy is not to be grasped or clung to. Allow it to seep in through your skin next time you spend some time in the Sun and know that there is very little you have to do. Illumination of your mind and heart will happen whatever you do.
No, you don?t need to spend hours chanting, calling on Dolphin Masters or meditating on the 17 higher chakras. No matter what you do, you will experience an injection of higher consciousness and this will lead to changes in your relating.
Now for the juicy part. The Tarot can help you see what those changes are likely to be.
Shuffle your deck and go through the cards until you get to the Death card ? a symbol for change and transformation. The card on the left of the Death card is something you will be leaving behind and the card on the right is what is being birthed into your consciousness in terms of relating.
Click HERE to view a SAMPLE READING.
You can do this together with your partner, either taking turns using the same deck, or doing it simultaneously using two separate decks. Remember to be supportive and to not blame your beloved. Do not drag up the past but make this a celebration in honour of the birth of a more loving way of relating. Focus on the fun and the forward movement!
You don?t have to do anything with this information. Unless you want to? Keep playing with the cards, have a snog or go out for a drink. It?s all sacred if it?s done with love!

"Doesn't every chemical have to go through thorough tests before deemed safe for human consumption?"
No, because we used to be a free country where everything was considered legal until proven otherwise. Back in the early 20th century, it took a constitutional amendment to ban a substance. It was understood that that was not within Congress' powers to do so otherwise, which gave rise to all sorts of dodges such as calling the ban an "excise tax", with outrageously high duties.
We have slid down the slippery slope to the point that agencies such as the BATF, DEA and FDA can ban substances by totally discretionary administrative action - and anyone with molecules vaguely similar can have all property seized, be prevented from making any effective legal defense and sentenced under draconian mandatory minimums to decades in prison. But they still like to pretend that they are still exercising their authority with some authentic legal basis, so they'll do a bit of hand-wringing while actually prosecuting anyone with any potentially mind-altering material, or "precursors" or even just for possessing glassware without license from our masters.
I say they never had the authority to ban anything, nor to even tax anything to a level that would remove it from regular commerce.
When they try to use their power to do so, they are acting outside their delegated auhtority ultra vires, they have lost their immunity, and so are entitled to even less deference than any other band of armed thugs that invades homes, steals property and kidnaps, terrorizes and kills citizens.

The Penguin Update Part-2 Knowing Filters
Friday, June 1, 2012
SEO Services ? Free Backlinks From Augustijn Community
Hey Everyone ? When we left off we had basically gone over ?what?s? happening and I introduced you to my ?tinfoil hat? theory about why it was happening. Ultimately, you can decide for yourself when it comes to the WHY part, but one thing is for certain..PENGUIN IS REAL and could likely be the most damaging or maybe even the most helpful ?slap? we?ve ever seen.
Hopefully you read over part 1 and understand that Penguin is a FILTER and not necessarily a slap in the traditional sense that we are used to.
So, let?s talk about filters?
Sites CAN BE and ARE affected by the Penguin filter in both positive and negative ways, which we are going to cover. Before I do that though, it?s disclaimer time again.
DISCLAIMER: The information in this post as well as in ANY POST here on this blog are my opinion and are based on observations that I?ve made either currently or in the past.
The thing about it is?it?s EASY to identify the people that are promoting things like ClickBank products, CPA offers, and even those that are trying to make a couple bucks from Adsense. We all do THE SAME THINGS as far as things like On-Page SEO go, don?t we? Bold this, underline that, italicize this, link here, there and all around the square, right?
So, to some extent Optimizing a post, page, or site to a degree where the pattern is recognizable very well COULD HURT OUR EFFORTS. We as marketers have been trained to do things a certain way ? The rationale has always been the more you optimize, the better chances that Google knows what your content is about, and the better your chances will be to get ranked for whatever keyword that you?re targeting.
First, let?s talk a bit about how the new filters can affect us as marketers negatively.
One of the things that I talked about in my last post was about how i BELIEVE that one of the big reasons for the new ?filter? is to take market share away from marketers like you and I and distribute that market share to branded business entities and advertising partners.
But, what if by doing ?everything right? you were actually giving Google all the information they needed to identify you and your sites as things that they don?t want displayed prominently in their index?
Consider this for a minute?
99.999999% of the people that I?ve spoken to that said that they were affected POSITIVELY by Penguin, when asked what they were doing gave an answer like this?
?I don?t understand how it happened?I didn?t do anything?my keywords weren?t even bolded, etc?
In other words, they weren?t aggressively optimizing their posts, pages, or sites for the keywords that they now have a better rank for. So, what am I saying here?Not to optimize for your keywords? No, that would be DUMB! What I am saying though is that you want to try to be as natural as possible and a ?regular? business or individual trying to sell a product doesn?t bold, underline, etc every single instance of a keyword or a variation of that keyword ? They just don?t
When you are putting up a piece of content or mapping out a site, you want to try to do it in the most natural way you can. Use your HTags like most professional webmasters would do, maybe bold a few things site wide, etc but don?t go nuts. The last thing you want to do is to give Google any ammunition at all to help them ?identify? you.
Now let?s talk things that caused a POSITIVE difference with the filter?
The days of throwing up a 1 page sniper site and ranking on the first page of Google for a keyword that pays you a couple hundred to a few thousand dollars a month are over?FOR NOW. All things point to the fact that Google wants *REAL* Businesses represented in the higher spots in it?s index. So, we want to do everything we can do to give off that *REAL* Business vibe?
?We Want to have an active social footprint
?Real Businesses have contact information
?Even something as small as a logo COULD help
Now, obviously you can find examples of keywords that don?t match up with what I?ve just shown, but keep in mind that I?m talking about ?marketers keywords? aka Long tails, which for the most part have been what many of us have made our money from since jumping in the ?game?.
From what I can see, and again, feel free to poke around and explore a bit so you can come to your own conclusion, but from what I?m seeing, it?s pretty damn obvious that the end game here is to make it so people searching are diverted to a higher CPC situation. Like in our example ?best diet plan? came back as something like ?diet programs? etc which is most definitely a higher CPC keyword.
I?m sure that some will say??they?ve been doing that for years? and that they are just trying to provide the best user experience possible, but I don?t agree?not even a little bit.
In some instances, a keyword like best diet plan will return a page with NOTHING but some sort of calorie calculator, or a site that sells supplements without a single work about diet plans or ways to lose weight. Plus, if you look at MANY of the pages returned, they have 1 of 2 things.
1. Adsense ads directly on the site
2. Adverts for 1 or more BIG advertisers
To me, all of this combined is just too much and too consistent to be coincidence?But, what do I know?
In the next post, we?ll talk about what I?M PERSONALLY DOING to ?beat the filter?, so you can see if there is anything there that you can work into your own routine. As always ? Any questions, comments, or suggestions, use the comment box below.
