I applied online and the process took 1+ week - interviewed at Farmers Automobile Insurance.
Interview Details I applied from an online website. It was advertised as being a new local recruiting effort, but I got called from a person in another state. I showed up to my interview with the name of who I was interviewing with and no one knew what I was talking about.
When I was seated at the conference table a different person showed up (the local regional director). I did not understand the connection until the end of the interview.
The interview itself was informative and straightforward. There was a lot of push on the "earning potential" (which always raises red flags for me), however, I do my research and decide if this is worth taking the chance.
Despite many negative reviews, it seems that my regional director tries to be as transparent as possible. I appreciate this and plan to take the next steps.
Interview Question – There wasn't really a hard question to answer, but I was surprised by the response he had to one of mine. He asked how long I had been wanting to work in the insurance business and I told him that this was something of a whim. I said that I don't work nine to five as well as I should, that I want a business opportunity that keeps me from having a boss, and that I like to set my own pace.
He shared his start up story and related to hating to being terminated and wanting to not have that any more. He described a time of hitting his head against a wall and just applying for this along with a number of other jobs. This was not special at first and I appreciated his candid response. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – There is no pay to negotiate. I get what I earn in commission only, and after I have paid for the license and other aspects of doing the job.

I applied online and the process took a day - interviewed at Farmers Automobile Insurance in June 2008.
Interview Details There was an initial phone screening with an HR representative. Then they asked me to come in to the office to take a skills test and a personality test. Then they asked me to come back for an interview/information session.
Several other candidates were present during the information session, which included a brief introduction from a senior manager and introductions to the supervisor team. Then, there was a brief tour of the facility. Next, they brought the candidates individually into a room with a few supervisors and managers, where they asked behavioral questions and questions about the resume. Then they rotated me to another room, where a different set of supervisors and managers asked similar questions.
Interview Question – Name a time when you were asked to do something, but failed to complete the task. What led you to fail, and what do you think you can do to prevent this from happening in the future? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – This was an entry-level job that required no special skill set, so there was no room for negotiation. If a job is offered, a salary offer is made that can be accepted or rejected.

I applied online and the process took 1 week - interviewed at Farmers Automobile Insurance in March 2012.
Interview Details I applied online for the position, and I was contacted via email a couple of days later by a regional HR rep. I had to first complete a pre-employment intelligence test that consisted of 3 parts. 1) A policy component. Basically read through examples of a hypothetical company's policies and then answer questions based on what you would do in different situations based on policy 2) A grammer section which resembled something you might see on a SAT/GMAT test. 3) A math component (mostly basic algebra, percentages, fractions). Overall, a fairly easy test, but you may want to brush up on some basic math stuff if it's been a while. Along with the intelligence test, there was also a 10 minute personality test, where you mostly just pick what adjectives describe you and your ideal work environment.
After passing the tests, the regional HR rep sent me an email setting up an initial phone screen. Interview was pretty basic. She started off describing the position in more detail (positional requirements, salary -42k/yr, hrs 830-5 M-F), as well as asking why I was interested and other basic interview questions. She then had 3 behavioral based questions, which is what they use for most of their on-site interviews. For those unfamiliar, it's basically them asking you a question like, "describe when you had to balance multiple tasks to meet deadlines successfully." And they emphasize that you give very specific examples of the situation and specific steps of action you took to achieve your result. She told me I did an excellent job at giving detailed responses and invited me to set up an on-site panel interview at the local office.
This is where my experience turned negative. I was scheduled to interview on-site at 11:00 AM, but they were running quite behind and I didn't get into the interview room until about 11:40. After being introduced to the rest of the panel, they apologized for running behind, so they were "going to have to hurry through this to catch up." Asked me the basic "tell me about yourself" then asked me a series of 5 behavioral based questions similar to what the HR rep had asked on the phone. After the third question, one of the panelists stopped taking notes on my answers and just sat there looking bored. I thought it was pretty rude. Even if you weren't satisfied with my answers, I think she should have at least pretended to seem somewhat interested and at least doodled on the paper lol. At the end of the interview, the panelist refused to give me a card with her information, so I could follow up with her. Thought that was quite peculiar as well. Anyway the other two panelists were at least much more respectful. I'm not really sure what happened with the entire situation. Probably wasn't my best interview, but I felt I wasn't given a very fair shot either. Hope others have better luck. They did send me an email a few days later thanking me for coming in, but they were going in a different direction.

Interview Details Brief phone interview, scheduled interview on location. Three people interviewed me together asking more about my resume. Took a typing test.

Interview Details The office was friendly but seemed a little unorganized and overcapacity. The interview was more informative about the company with very few questions about my skill.

I applied online and the process took 2 days - interviewed at Farmers Automobile Insurance in September 2011.
Interview Details I went in for a 1 on 1 interview and a typing test, then went to a "Group" interview, which consisted of me and 1 other person. Then I got asked scenario based questions, after which I looked over the shoulder of someone doing their job. Overall, it was degrating and humiliating and a waste of time. I've never been through something so unorganized and clearly they were scrambling to do their jobs, let alone interview people. The interviewers tried to act more important than they are, which is a sure sign of ineptitude in a manager and a red flag for all interviewees.
Interview Question – Name a time when you had to make a difficult decision View Answer
Reason for Declining – It's one of those jobs where they try to make it seem better than it is. I mean come on, a group interview? I turned it down because it was a sham - the position is pathetic as a child could do it and the people are fat losers. Plus, Janet Alenhoffen (the recruiter) is a b#$&^ who has no idea about life, let alone what she's doing. I couldn't stop laughing at her during the interview. Lol, I am laughing just thinking about her.

Interview Details I applied online and was contacted 2 days later by a recruiter. She then explained the next step in the process. She sent emails to me with links to a personality test, mini IQ test (mathematics and grammar), online typing test, and a times management module. The module gave various tasks of listening to voicemail, checking email, and answering math problems. It was all pretty stressful but I passed everything. With regards to the IQ test, study wonderlic questions and brush up on fractions and percents. Some of the vocabulary was basic spelling and some was matching.

In an era when science changes on a daily basis, it is so important to have opportunities for the involement of the community in the explorations made by our students. When so much focus has been placed upon the mastery of content standards, sometimes educators tend to swing right along with the pendulum. There are many ways in which we can involve our local community. In doing so, we engage them in the on-going learning that we all do as passionate teachers. One way that we can engage them is to ask for their help in mentoring our students as they conduct original research projects. These forays into true inquiry by our students are truly engaging for the teacher, student, and community mentor. Sometimes we assume that mentors need to be university professors, or scientific idustrial partners, but local business can also be utilized in any part of the country. Where I live, I have utilized local dairy farmers, partnering students as they explored protein content in milk from cows at various stages of lactation, or as they explored the evolution of bacteria in the guts of such bovines. Even the local Bee Keepers can be a great resource.
These partnerships are not onlybeneficial for the individuals involved, but are wonderful opportunities for much needed public relations opportunties. Eventhough I got a couple of bee stings out of the outing, the student's comments after seeing drones, queen cells, and larvae make it all worth while. I just took this picture yesterday. Exploring the production of Defensin by Bees is a great partnership between these two people. The bee keeper is very interesting in organic farming practice, and the student is looking at the bee's natural responses to infection. A match made in heaven.

Portland >Bars & Clubs > Darcelle XV Showplace
208 NW Third Ave, Portland, OR | Directions 9720945.524667 -122.673323
Wed-Thu 6pm-11pm
Fri-Sat 6pm-2:30am
Neighborhoods: Neighbors West - Northwest, Old Town - Chinatown
Darcelle is an icon in the Portland gay community. The show at Darcelle's is a must-do-at-least-once. The Queens are mature and marvelous. They aim to entertain, mostly themselves, but if you get a kick out of them - well then that makes them ever happier.
tired, tired, tired – I recently went to Darcelle's for the first time with some girlfriends (ages ranging 34-57) and I'm sad to say that we all think the show needs a major overhaul. The jokes are old, the costumes are old, the songs are old. There's nothing new and fresh about this place. I didn't even know most of the songs they were lip syncing to. And Darcelle himself?? I hate to say it, but there comes a time when it's time to retire (or at least take a step back) and let fresh blood take over. Not that he wasn't entertaining at times. He definitely was....BUT....he is 82 years old, so what can you expect? He had a hard time walking around the stage, his feet were swollen and stuffed into his shoes and he seemed drunk and was slurring his words. It was hard to even follow what he was saying sometimes. In my opinion, he should make an appearance, tell a few jokes and then let some younger, hipper drag queens run the show. Oh, and the part where he turned around and people were stuffing dollar bills in his bare ---........we all could have done without that. All in all, it was mildly entertaining, but disappointing. I wouldn't go back.
Great for Bachelorette Parties! – I made reservations for Darcelle's for my sister's bachelorette party and I am sure glad I did! Such a fun show and so entertaining. Very much worth the money and a fantastic place to go to for parties and a girls night out. The servers were excellent, very attentive to our drink orders. I will definitely come here again!
Funnest time in a long time – My neices and I spent the weekend of the 7th of Feb. right downtown in the pretty city of Portland. One neice lives there and one flew in from Virginia. Having heard about Darcelle's for several years I have always wanted to see the show. What a great time we had!!!! After walking most of the day, my back was killing me. When Darcelle came out to take pictures with everybody, I was sitting on a windowledge to ease the pain. When she found out about this, she took me inside and put me and my group right in the front row at the end of the runway!! What a lovely thing for her to do. Thank you so much Darcelle.The girls were just amazing. Extremely beautiful and classy and funny too. They really made everybody feel right at home and made sure everybody had fun.The strippers weren't bad either. At one point, I looked at my neices and they fighting over the last dollar bill!!One thing I learned was not to touch the girls! I simply lost my head and smacked Darcelle on his bare butt (we were that close!) and immediately got told that was not acceptable. Sorry Darcelle. Please forgive me.
I highly recommend this experience and when I get enough ones saved up, I will get my girls together and we will be back!!
Thank you Darcelle & Co.!
Bigger Lashes Mean Bigger Laughter – Quite simply said, Darcelle's is a Portland landmark. Without a doubt Darcelle XV and Roxie and the talents of their staff, it couldn't be done. I have seen Broadway shows, Las Vegas impersonator shows and hung out with drag queens, impersonators and so on and no where else will you find such wonderful dresses, makeup, hair and music.
I took my family there (who are straight) several times and they did not feel comfortable at first because they did not know what to expect. After the show starts, they relaxed, enjoyed the fun and have been twice a year since 1996. The jokes are campy, naughty and filled with a bit of crude humor and wording. I like that. Dinner is good before the show, seating can be tight if you get there late and when you let your hair down, they let theirs down too. Darcelle seemed like a nice person on stage and off and get the keepsake photo, you start to collect them year after year. The only thing I have to say is they need a better Web site.
Great overall customer srevice – We have been to Darcele's many times and I think it is a good place for laughes. We have gone there for alot of our Birthday party and for our girls getting married. I have told all my friends that is a great place to spend your evenings as the price is right. Also, we go to the late show and watch the Men Of Pardise as they are great. So, if you ladies need a night out along go there it is worth it and it is great. We have even taken our husbands
Funny and Fabulous – I love it. The staff and performers are friendly and the food is good. Darcelle is soooo funny, and you might be pulled into the show, either being teased by Darcelle or pulled from the crowd. Bring your camera, because no one at work will believe you. You can bring nearly everyone you know. Everyone will have a good time, and you'll want to go back again and again.
Don't waste your money – The show was overpriced, the seating cramped (I was forced to sit in an aisle with people bumping me every few minutes), the drinks were watered down, my friend said the food was awful, and the jokes weren't even funny.
Want to waste your evening and money...go visit here!
Female-impersonation club serves up a good time with cabaret-style drag revues at this Old Town spot. – In Short
Wearing big jewelry, fake hair and falsies, "girls" at this Portland favorite entertain families, friends and large groups Las Vegas-style. Strategically placed tables in front of the large stage give all patrons a front-row view of the hour-and-a-half-long show. The club's namesake, Darcelle--dolled up in false eyelashes, blond wig and rhinestones--leads a dozen different musical and comedy performances complete with lip synching and corny jokes. On weekends, a male dance revue is the big finale.
Very entertaining! – Both the "ladies" and the drinks are very strong and very good!
We made reservations a few days in advance and still got great seats right up front. Darcelle does some great stand-up between numbers, but will give up if the crowd is being too loud. Bring lots of one dollar bills - the performers will wander among the crowd throughout the show and appreciate a little paper love. Watch out - they may single you out and try to embarrass you. The atmosphere is fun and funny - nobody takes themselves too seriously at Darcelle's. Beware of the smoke, though, it can be heavy. Bring your camera, you can take all the flash pictures you want.
A great place to spend an evening! Ten bucks well spent. I will definitely be returning.
So funny!!! – We went for my birthday and it was hillarious! The show was great!!! Drinks were great and you got to keep the glasses. WE loved it!

Height: 6'2" Weight: 220 Age: 26 Experience: 5th season College: Oklahoma State Drafted: 2010 R1 P24, Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) was limited in practice Friday, Dec. 27, but is probable for Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Bryant expects to play and isn't likely to receive an epidural injection to relieve any pain like he did earlier this year. 'I'm all natural, baby,' Bryant said. 'Feels 100 percent.'
Huddle Up: Bryant on Sunday night will be looking to duplicate his productive Week 7 outing (8-110) against the Eagles, only with a TD or 2 thrown in.
Posted: 12/27/2013 12:04am et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) said he expects to play Week 17 even though he did not practice Thursday, Dec. 26. Bryant said he will allow a specialist look at his back this offseason.
Huddle Up: Full week of practice or not -- Tony Romo or not -- feel safe starting Dez in Sunday night's NFC East Championship Game.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (chest) returned to the Week 14 game against the Chicago Bears before the end of the first half. He fell on top of the ball and knocked the wind out of himself. The Cowboys took a timeout, and he ended up not even missing one play as a result.
Huddle Up: Bryant came out of the game relatively fine from a health perspective, but the WR's usage -- or lack of it -- is concerning his fantasy owners once again as he only was targeted 4 times in the loss, finishing with 2 catches and a season-low 12 yards. That issue had seemed to have corrected itself with Bryant receiving a combined 25 targets over the 2 previous games, but it reared its ugly head again Monday night -- just in time for the fantasy playoffs. Hopefully for his owners, another correction is forthcoming.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) practiced in full Tuesday, Nov.
Huddle Up: Bryant is as healthy as he's been in awhile, and his fantasy owners
will be looking for the wideout to deliver a Turkey Day TD or 2 as
he has not come up with a scoring reception since Week 8. Bryant has
16 receptions for 194 yards in the 3 games in-between.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (arm) suffered an apparent right arm injury in the first quarter of the Week 12 game against the New York Giants. He was down for a few moments before jogging off under his own power while not moving his right arm.
Huddle Up: He came back to play a fine game, but the injuries are piling up for Bryant.
Posted: 11/21/2013 11:51pm et
The New York Giants plan to be physical with Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant at the line of scrimmage Week 12 because he does not like to be physical before catching the ball. 'Get your hands on him,' SS Will Hill said. 'He doesn't like to be touched, like most receivers in this league. But really him. He doesn't like to be touched.'
Huddle Up: The Giants will try to duplicate their Week 1 effort against Bryant, who had only 4 catches for 22 yards on 8 targets in the Cowboys' 36-31 win. Bryant's fantasy owners, meanwhile, are looking for a return to form by wideout, who had only 1 catch for 44 yards in the Cowboys' final game before their Week 11 bye.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant, who has been double-teamed often this year and used as a decoy, is confident the team has worked on ways to get him the ball more often. He has four games this year where he's caught four passes or less. 'You will see what happens,' Bryant said. 'I've been seeing (double coverage) for a minute now, we've been working on it.'
Huddle Up: Fantasy owners hope the Cowboys have a solid plan to get Bryant loose. Recent weeks have been brutal.
Posted: 11/12/2013 1:28pm et
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones wants to see the team utilize WR
Dez Bryant more in the offense after the star receiver was targeted
just twice against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10. Bryant has 52
catches for 749 yards and eight touchdowns this season. 'We need to
get him the ball more,' Jones said. 'I think that's the kind of
thing that's a reasonable thing that you can adjust over a two-week
period that we're going into with our bye week. How do we work to
get him the ball more?'
Huddle Up: Jones, for once, is making total sense and has taken the words right
out of the mouths of Bryant's fantasy owners after the WR has been
targeted only 19 times over the past 3 games, resulting in 10
receptions, 180 yards and a pair of TDs. The Cowboys certainly have
more pressing issues to worry about, and frequently targeting your
best offensive playmaker should be a weekly no-brainer.
Posted: 11/8/2013 2:02pm et
Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said WR Dez Bryant (back) is dealing with a muscular problem in his back and not a disc-related problem. Bryant underwent an MRI exam earlier this week and the results were the same as his test after the season finale last season when he was forced to use a wheelchair to leave the locker room. He is practicing for the second straight day Friday, Nov. 8, and ran some red-zone routes without issue in the session open to the media. Bryant said he will play in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: Bryant is a regular on the Cowboys' injury report, but a disc issue isn't anything trivial and could require season-ending surgery. Bryant's owners will have to trust that Jones is right, but it's definitely something to continue monitoring.

There are concerns that Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) may be dealing with a bulging or herniated disc in his back. Bryant is receiving treatment for his injury but believes he will be able to play Week 10.
Huddle Up: The tricky thing with back injuries is that when they flare up it's not as if you can tape it up and play. Here's hoping Bryant can make it through the rest of this season, then get whatever work needs to be done accomplished in the offseason so he's ready to go for the start of 2014.

Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) returned to practice Thursday, Nov. 7, and head coach Jason Garrett continues to believe that Bryant's sore back is not a long-term issue. Bryant ran routes in the portion of practice open to the media. Bryant needed a wheelchair to get to the team bus in last year's season finale against the Washington Redskins because of a stiff back. 'It's bothering him a little bit off and on,' Garrett said. 'I don't know if it's the exact same thing, but we don't think it's a significant deal.' Bryant said he will play in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.
Huddle Up: There's been plenty of buzz about Bryant and his sore back, but his return to practice suggests that for now all is well and he'll be in the lineup this weekend
Posted: 10/27/2013 9:01pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant was animated multiple times in the Week 8 game. He was seen shouting at TE Jason Witten near the end of the game.
Huddle Up: Bryant did catch a 50-yard touchdown—his second of the day—after throwing his first tantrum. The second seemed to be frustration with a defense that gave the game away in the final 50 seconds.
Posted: 9/25/2013 12:16pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant was fined $7,875 for a 'throat-slash' celebration in Week 3.
Huddle Up: At least Bryant kept his socks the proper length. More money for the NFL to give to charity, so that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Posted: 9/20/2013 5:09pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) was looking much better during practice Friday, Sept. 20. He was limited Thursday with what was deemed a stiff back.
Huddle Up: One of fantasy's top wideouts gets a green light after seemingly answering the questions raised with his limited participation Thursday.
Posted: 9/19/2013 4:33pm et
Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) was 'slow and deliberate' while being limited in practice Thursday, Sept. 19, and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill said Bryant's back looked 'stiff.'
Huddle Up: Bryant has 3 days to work out the kinks, so see if he's able to do more in Friday's practice.
Posted: 9/19/2013 1:16pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) is expected to return to practice Thursday, Sept. 19, and play in Week 3.
Huddle Up: Bryant experienced some tightness in his back following the Week 2 game in K.C. but that's likely from the strain of carrying the rest of the team with his 9-catch, 141-yard, one-TD effort. Unless something crops up later in the week, plan on starting him as usual this Sunday against the Rams.
Posted: 9/18/2013 1:45pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 18, because of back stiffness.
Huddle Up: This shouldn't be too concerning—Bryant did just fine after nursing a foot injury last week—but monitor his situation as the week rolls on.
Posted: 9/16/2013 1:01am et
Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) saw his back tighten up during the Week 2 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. He received medical attention after the game, and there doesn't appear to be any major concern.
Huddle Up: Hopefully Dez is good to go later this week. He seemed to do fine with that foot issue.
Posted: 9/15/2013 5:27pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back) missed several plays in Week 2 due to a stiff back.
Huddle Up: This is unfortunate for Cowboys fans and Bryant fantasy owners, but he played rather well when he was in the game. Hopefully the Cowboys can get him healthy.
Posted: 9/12/2013 12:57pm et
Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said WR Dez Bryant (ankle) did not have a complete practice Wednesday, Sept. 11, but did not suffer a setback.
Huddle Up: Good news on the Dez front as Bryant owners are looking for a bit more this week from the wideout with the third-highest ADP following a 4-catch, 22-yard dud in Week 1.
Posted: 9/11/2013 8:09pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (foot) practiced in full Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Huddle Up: There was concern about Bryant's foot injury earlier in the week but he's all systems go for Sunday's game in Kansas City. After posting just 22 yards in the opener, Bryant will look to rebound in Week 2 versus a tough Chiefs' secondary.
Posted: 9/11/2013 2:06pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (foot) is participating in practice Wednesday, Sept. 11.
Huddle Up: This is great news for his fantasy owners, who got a real scare in Week 1. Hopefully he doesn't aggravate that foot injury.
Posted: 9/10/2013 10:29am et
Updating previous reports, Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant had an MRI confirm a mild foot sprain. He's expected to play in Week 2, but he may not practice a lot this week.
Huddle Up: Ruh-roh, sprained foot. All indications are that it's not serious and that Bryant will play this week, but you hear "sprained foot" and you can't help but think bad Lisfranc thoughts.
Posted: 9/9/2013 4:19pm et
Updating a previous report, X-rays on Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (foot) came back negative, and he has been diagnosed with a sprained left foot.
Huddle Up: Thankfully it isn't a broken foot, but sprained feet can be insidious. Keep an eye on his situation.
Posted: 9/6/2013 2:08pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is working on keeping his emotions in check through the week. He admits he gets amped up in the days leading up to a game. 'I remember last year, sometimes I used to go so hard before the game that I'm in a full sweat,' Bryant said. 'I know some of the coaches didn't like that. I had to tone it down a little bit.'
Huddle Up: Could it be Bryant is maturing a bit? The wideout's stats certainly seem to indicate as much as he had all of one 100-yard receiving game and two multiple-TD contests in his first 30 games as a pro. In his 13 contests since then, Bryant has five 100-yard outings and four multiple-TD games.
Posted: 8/14/2013 12:16am et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant is being bothered by his right shoulder after he extended to make a catch over his head Tuesday, Aug. 13. He slammed the ball to the ground afterward and was rotating his arm.
Huddle Up: It may just be a whole lot of nothing, but then again temper that Dez momentum a tad until you know for sure given the wideout's propensity for injury.
Posted: 7/29/2013 12:01am et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (hip) returned to practice Sunday, July 28 after sitting out Saturday afternoon's workout.
Huddle Up: Bryant, who by many accounts has been off to an impressive start in camp, had stiffness in his hip area and also was dealing with a minor ankle tweak from Friday, but neither of the issues sound too serious at this point.
Posted: 6/23/2013 2:07pm et
The Dallas Cowboys likely will not use WR Dez Bryant as a punt returner this season because of how has played at wide receiver.
Huddle Up: Smart move. After smashing his previous career single-season highs with 92 receptions for 1,382 yards and 12 TDs in 2012, Bryant is far and away the 'Boys' top offensive weapon and looks like he's ready to establish himself as one of the game's top-5 wideouts.
Posted: 5/29/2013 5:36pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has been working on improving his route running this season and wants to use the same footwork on every snap. He wants to use the same intensity pace and footwork on every snap so he can have an advantage over the defender. "He's improved so much. You can tell," CB Brandon Carr said. "He's working on all the little things in practice. He's focused on the details and he's getting better and better. I'm glad I don't have to cover him in games this season." Bryant has also altered his route running on deep passes in hopes of running past a defender and worked on improving his conditioning this offseason to make sure he runs routes with the same intensity in the fourth quarter as he does in the first quarter.
Huddle Up: Bryant came into the league as an amazing athletic talent with raw route-running skills and other assorted concerns. That he's putting in the work to improve in the areas previously lacking suggests maturity, and if the already-productive Bryant steps up his game even further he could become one of the truly elite wideouts in the league.
Posted: 5/26/2013 11:38pm et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant (back, finger) continues to get treatment for a back injury he suffered at the end of last season, but he said that injury and his finger surgery won't be issues this season. Bryant has been participating in organized team activities (OTAs). He continues to try to build his endurance. 'I hear coach talk about it all the time, and that's one of my main goals,' Bryant said. 'Staying on the Stairmaster, trying to increase my endurance as much as I can, just not thinking about tapping out, just being able to go every play 100 miles per hour.'
Huddle Up: Injuries -- or opposing defenses -- couldn't slow Bryant last season as he played a full 16 games for the first time in 3 NFL seasons and finished third among all fantasy wideouts with 210 points (Huddle Performance scoring).
Posted: 5/22/2013 12:39am et
Dallas Cowboys WR Dez Bryant said he found himself, and that has led
to a quiet offseason with no off-field issues. 'I found myself,'
Bryant said Tuesday after the Cowboys' first organized team
activity. 'I'm comfortable with my life. I'm enjoying being in the
NFL. I wish it could've been a couple years back, but I had to go
through a couple of things to figure it out. I think I got it and
I'm just more focused on my job and doing what I love to do and
that's playing football.'
Huddle Up: No Bryant news has definitely been good news for Cowboys fans and
his keeper-league fantasy owners after the wideout enjoyed a career
year (92-1,382-12) in 2012 to finish with the third-most fantasy
points (210) among all wideouts.

You have a quality control problem with the sub-vendor of these lights--the rechargable batteries were worthless. Cost me $16 to replace the batteries.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I love these lights... I have them out in the yard year round and they make me smile, especially in winter when everything is dreary and the nights are long. It is so nice to look out the window and see my little garden lights twinkling.
There are only two drawbacks that I have found:
They don't run late at night even after a full day of sun. And the dragonfly attachments are not very tight. I was concerned that they would blow off on a windy day. So I took black electric tape and taped them on. All in all though, I really like these lights.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
I bought this product for a gift for my 90 year old neighbor. She loves looking out her front window at night at her illuminated night creatures.
Best Uses
This solar Dragonfly gives wonderful color to flower beds at night. The Dragonfly is a good size and it's easy to see when the sun goes down.

- None so far
Best Uses
- Patio Accent
These were simple to assemble and easy to stick into large pots in my patio. They go easily into the ground too. They give off so much light that I was concerned the light coming into my bedroom, slowly changing, would keep me awake at night, but so far, it hasn't. I'm looking forward to enjoying these in the summer when I sit out in the patio in the evenings.
I'm hoping it won't be hard to find replacement batteries. And I'm wondering how these will fare in a rainstorm.

- Beautiful Color Changes

Best Uses
- Garden Seen From Window
- Tucked Among Plants
These are the simplest and most wonderful thing I have purchased in a long time! Not particularly great in daytime, so best tucked among shrubs/flowers, but at night...oh my! Magical! The colors phase thru red to purples to aqua to yellow to green...hypnotizing and relaxing. Hard to walk away from them! And stop you in your tracks if placed so you see them thru a window at night. The # of colors goes down over time, 3-4 now after 2yrs (northern CA climate) instead of 5, but still wonderful. Truly, I had no idea I would love these so much. I am buying two more for when these eventually give up the ghost! Lots of magic for not much $$$.

Project Instructions
Use a 12"x12" green patterned paper as the page background.
Trim the blue patterned paper to 10"x10", then round the corners with a ½" corner squeeze punch. Center blue paper on the page background.
Add a horizontal 1"x10" border-punched black cardstock strip to the bottom of the blue square.
Above the black strip, adhere a 3"x10" diagonal stripe patterned paper.
Place a 5"x8" vertical photo about 5/8" from the left edge of the blue square.
Add threaded buttons to the upper left corner of the photo.
Trim a 1½"x12" strip of the yellow, red, and green patterned papers. Then, border-punch both sides of each strip, making sure that the border design is identical on both edges. Machine-stitch each strip with black thread along the center. Adhere the strips vertically on the blank right side of the page, next to the photo.
With a 1¼"x3¼" piece of black cardstock, round the corners with a ¼" corner rounder squeeze punch. Apply the "always" stickers on it. Adhere it to the page using foam adhesive, overlapping the right edge of the photo.
Punch two 2" circles using the kraft colored cardstock. Apply the stickers "gentle" and "kind" to each one. Use the ShapeXpress and circle shape template to cut out 2½" circles using the green and the yellow patterned papers. Mat the 2" kraft circles with the 2½" colored circles.
Using the ShapeXpress and circle shape template again, cut out a 2½ " kraft colored circle and a 3" red patterned paper. Layer the kraft circle on top of the red circle, then apply the "perfect" sticker on it.
Adhere the words/circles as shown on the example using foam adhesive.

Clerics are well-known for invoking miracles, channeling the power of the gods into the mortal realm. For the most part, these are short-lived effects and of little consequence in the grand scheme of things. While a bolt may strike down a king, he is but one man. But there are more powerful miracles known to clerics, miracles whose workings can affect entire communities for as long as a year. These are known as resource miracles (and sometimes as community miracles), and form the focus of this supplement.
This supplement contains the full rules for casting resource miracles, and details over 20 miracles. In addition, a selection of local customs explores religious festivals carried out by single communities, allowing the GM to add more flavor to steads, villages, and towns.
Although written for the Hellfrost setting, the rules can be used with any Savage Worlds fantasy setting with a minimum of modification.

For about 12 years now, we've gotten used to watching the virtual yellow line, which of course signifies where on the field the first down is. It's one of the things that people who go to the game really miss.
My question is, why do we have to miss it? If our world came up with the virtual technology, can't it come up with a real line on the field that the players won't trip over?
Inventor Alan Amron has been working on a solution for the better part of this decade. He has four patents for his First Down Laser System, which shoots a six-inch wide green laser beam across the field that can be seen on both television and in the stadium, and has partnered with veteran player and announcer Pat Summerall.
So why haven't you seen it yet?
Well, he met with the NFL all the way back in 2003 and has been working on refining it ever since. When Amron met with the league seven years ago, his green line was going to be shown thanks to projectors in stadiums mounted to light fixtures. That cost $300,000 per stadium. Amron's latest product is mounted to the bottom of the markers themselves, which has reduced the cost to about $100,000 per stick set.
He's currently working on getting approval from the FDA to make sure the laser complies with regulatory standards and he says he has already talked to the NFL about testing his product in a preseason game next year.
Amron says he told the league his invention could actually save the league and television networks hundreds of millions of dollars each year in potential advertising revenue. After all, if the line is accurate, the chain gang won't ever have to trot out.
"We estimate that the referees measure for a first down at least once per game, which is at the very least a minute and half," Amron said. "We looked at how much that was worth from preseason through the Super Bowl in advertising time and we came up with $325 million."
Amron said the NFL is concerned that players exposure to the laser, but he says that since the beam is slightly off the ground a player would have to fall on the ground and look to the side and up in order to get a direct laser hit that could lead to eye damage.
Amron says he's confident his final product will be able to enhance the game experience for those fans watching in the stadium – the league is more concerned with that than ever before —and will be safe for the players as well.
As for the critics who says true fans should know where the first down marker is?
Said Amron: "How many times do we see players that don't even know where it is when trying to get a first down?"

Well, it was fun while it lasted, which seemed like about five minutes.
The surprising, rebuilding Magic were 12-13, hinting at making the playoffs and thumbing their noses at doomsday critics.
Then came the injuries to Big Baby Davis and E'Twaun Moore, and a 10-game losing streak.
Magic fans and players can point to the loss of Davis, which doubtlessly threw them off kilter. But the club fumbled some fourth-quarter chances to win without him. They can't close the show down the stretch.
The Magic had no margin for error since the season started.
This streak has been a killer.
To reach the playoffs, the Magic now will have to resemble a different team – and Davis might not be back for two more weeks.
Let's say you need 40 wins to make the playoffs as a No. 8 seed.
Currently, the disappointing Boston Celtics hold the No. 8 and final postseason spot at 18-17 --- six games ahead of Orlando.
The 12-23 Magic must go 28-19 the rest of the season to finish 40-42 and have a shot.
Not gonna happen.
So now what?
The Magic have made it clear from Day One that they will not "tank" games to get the highest lottery pick possible, not after the Dwightmare.
But I think they've largely accomplished what they wanted to accomplish. Their goal has been to play hard and be ultra-competitive despite the loss of Dwight, proving to a veteran group and the league that they are committed to winning.
The injury to Davis was a bad break.
Now the Magic need to intensely focus on the future, and that means more playing time to rookies Andrew Nicholson and Maurice Harkless (if it's warranted) and more touches for second-year center Nik Vucevic.Coach Jacque Vaughn has done an admirable job on the player-development end.
He's trusted Nicholson, who has an uncanny knack for scoring.
With an injury to starting small forward Hedo Turkoglu, Vaughn started Harkless for 20 consecutive games, then, I believe, sat the cocksure rookie to get his attention.
Vaughn also has given rookie DeQuan Jones playing time with Turk on the injury list, primarily to see if Jones can mesh his top-shelf athleticism with learning the nuances of the game.
The make-up of the team could change after the trade deadline, certainly. The Magic have some assets, although the return on them likely won't be enough to make an impactful deal. They can't give away J.J. Redick, either.
The reality now is that the Magic have to continue the rebuild and point to making the playoffs in 2014 and beyond.Brian Schmitz is the Magic Insider for the Orlando Sentinel.
