Lock Of the Day: January 25 2012
Pimp My Office!
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Do you have a messy office? What about a boring one, with too much gray and white? Are your electronics out of date? If your office looks anything like this, then it might be time for a change.
Well, there is an exciting new contest brought to you by the Contest Factory. They are looking for you to send in a video of your office and explain why you deserve to have it "pimped out". The video should be funny and entertaining, and demonstrate what is wrong with your work space.
After you upload your video, you'll need your friends, family, and colleagues to vote. Ultimately, the winner will be chosen by a panel of judges who will use the votes and story as the criteria for their decision.
The Grand Prize is a $1200 value and will either be:
- A new computer system
- New desk, chair, and decorations
- New entertainment package with stereo, espresso machine and others
But wait, there's more!
A sweepstakes will also be held for all the registered users who do not win. You can earn tickets to the sweepstakes by voting and commenting on other videos, and referring other users to join the contest. So even if you don't win the Grand Prize, you still have a shot at the consolation gift card.
The sweepstakes prize is a $200 gift card chosen at random.
As of the posting of this article, nobody has uploaded a video which means you're odds of winning are unbelievable.

NBA Lock of the Day: January 23 2011
Well, the NFL season is almost over and for all intents-and-purposes the year of betting on football has come to a close. Yes, there is still the Super Bowl (more on that in the coming weeks) but it is time to focus on basketball for the next couple months.
So, without further adieu my NBA pick of the night.
Phoenix Suns +5 1/2
Orlando Magic
I like Phoenix for a couple reasons.
1. They have played pretty well of late, including wins on the road against both New York and Boston. Those two teams are a little overrated, but they are still two solid teams and the Suns not only played well against them, but actually won the games.
2. Dallas played a tight one, and won against New Orleans a few nights ago, but with Dirk they were not nearly as good as they are with him. He's not playing tonight either and the Mavericks will suffer.
3. Dallas has played 4 tight games in a row and Phoenix has played tight in their last two. Either way, win or lose, in a close game you always take the underdog. Getting points in a 3 point affair is way better than giving them.
So, I'll take the Suns.
Remember, this is only for fun. Never bet on a game unless you can afford it and live in a state or country where it is legal.

Rick Perry drops out
And then there were four. All the media networks are reporting that Rick Perry will drop out today, after terrible performances in Iowa and New Hampshire. Perry is a great local candidate, he's boisterous and fun and personable, but he's a fool when it comes to national issues. He had no clue about foreign policy and was very poor on the national economy.
Basically, he was a worse version of Bush.
This is now the second candidate to drop out this week, and we'll see how it affects the polls come Saturday in South Carolina. Huntsman endorsed Romney and while there is no indication as to who Perry will support, I would guess it will be Gingrich. Either way, most of his voters will probably go to Gingrich anyway.
Hakeem Nicks: Prediction Pain
On the Boomer and Carton show today Hakeem Nicks predicted pain for the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Carton tried to rope him into saying something stupid so there would be headlines but Nicks barely gave them anything. It was a fun interview, and even though I personally am a Jets fan, I hope the Giants come up strong and win in S.F. this sunday.
NYC!!!

Piston's Plane Makes Emergency Landing
It is somewhat amazing that this doesn't happen more often.
Last night, the Detroit Piston's chartered flight was forced to make an emergency landing after discovering an issue with the hydraulics that help with the landing gear. I'm not sure what any of that means, but it seems to me that this was more of a precautionary measure than a full fledged emergency.
Just a few months, Oklahoma St coach Kurt Budke and his assistant Mirand Serna, along with 8 others, were killed in a small plane crash in Colorado and 10 years earlier a plane carrying some of the Oklahoma St basketball players were killed in a similar crash.
Of course, in 1970 a plane carrying 37 of the Marshall football team were killed in perhaps the most infamous sports related crash of all time. All totaled, 75 people perished in the accident along with most of the coaching staff and crew members.
Plane travel is a necessity of the modern athlete's schedule and these scary situations will become even more common as more and more colleges and even high school teams choose to play teams from across the country rather than those in the next state over.
