The latest piece of news that is creating excitement and speculation is the story that the Minnesota Vikings might be looking to trade wide receiver Percy Harvin. Some have already suggested that the Rams should trade for Percy Harvin. Why? Because he is a dynamic playmaker who would instantly upgrade the Ram offense, his contract for 2013 is relatively cheap and we might only have to give up a second or third round pick in a trade. Although these reasons may make a trade look enticing on the surface, when you look a little deeper you will see that there are numerous reasons why the Rams will not trade for Percy Harvin.
The Brandon Lloyd factor
Remember when the Rams old regime traded for Brandon Lloyd, giving up a fifth round pick in the process? He was in the last year of his contract. He moved with McDaniels to the Patriots. For the Rams he amounted to a one season rental. Harvin's contract ends in 2013. The same scenario that happened with Lloyd can easily happen with Harvin. Demoff and Snead are no dummies. Before consummating a trade, they would want a reasonably priced contract extension in place for 2014 and beyond. The odds of this happening are slim to nil. Why wouldn't Harvin test the free agent market to determine what his value is? At any rate, the Rams are not likely to take a chance on the possibility of ending up with a one year rental and losing draft pick(s) in the process.
The Minnesota Vikings
When I first heard of this news I instantly thought of one thing: Why would the Vikings want to trade Harvin? Health issues? Migraines? Concussions? Injuries? Attitude? Locker room problems? Volatility? The cost of re-signing him for next year and beyond? All of them have been mentioned as possible reasons for the Vikings wanting to trade him. Combined, they could be the only reason(s) that a team like the Vikings, who are so bereft of playmakers on offense (notwithstanding A.P.) and wide receiving targets for Christian Ponder, would even consider trading him. The Vikings reasons for wanting to trade him are the very reasons that the Rams will not consider trading for him. Who wants all those additional "headaches", so-to-speak.
Titus Young and risk
In many ways it made sense for the Rams to acquire Titus Young. They gave up nothing for him. His contract still has two years remaining and is very, very cheap. The risk taken by the Rams is minimal. Such is not the case with Harvin. Presuming Minnesota eats the 1.1 million in bonus due to Harvin in 2013, the Rams will still be on the hook for 2.9 million against the cap for 2013. Given the tight cap space situation, this is considerably more financial risk and cap problematic than the risk and cap space taken with Young's contract. Let alone the fact that Harvin will cost the Rams quality draft picks, which of course was not the case with Titus Young.
Money, the cap and beyond 2013
For the sake of argument let's presume that Demoff can pull of a miracle and make Harvin's 2013 contract work within the cap space restrictions we are encountering this year. What happens beyond this year? Harvin, if he stays healthy and productive in 2013, will no doubt command a long term contract with 8-10 million in salary per year. Can the Rams afford this in the future? The 2014 cap space situation looks to be only slightly better than 2013 at this time. A new contract of 9 million to a player will cause havoc in 2014. Demoff could be creative and back load some of the contract to other years. He has stated many times that he doesn't want to do that with contracts. Why not? Two reasons: 1/ it only pushes off the problem to future years and can create bigger problems down the road 2/ we had a great draft class in 2012 (and likely will in 2013 and 14). At some point those players will have to be re-signed. If they keep hitting on the draft picks like they have to-date, you can see many big contracts in the Rams future just from the players they are drafting. Going forward, signing big contract free agents is not a good strategy when you are trying to build a Super Bowl team through the draft.
As much as I would love to consider trading for Percy Harvin, the factors mentioned in this post preclude me from thinking that this trade could ever move beyond the stage of sheer speculation. Thanks for reading! Please vote in the poll I added after publishing this post. Your comments and opinions are always welcome!

A symbol of hope in the search for Kyron Horman is about to move to a new home.
"The Wall of Hope" was started over a year ago at Skyline School, but then moved to a nearby fire station.
This Saturday, Aug. 27, the wall will move again to the X-Treme Edge Gym in Beaverton.
Kyron's father, Kaine Horman, is a long-time member of the gym.
Kaine says moving the wall to a more permanent spot will keep Kyron in people's thoughts.
"We need to keep trying to support him and everyone is doing a fantastic job of that," he says. "I think the momentum and the sentiment continues to grow as this continues on."
The X-Treme Edge Gym is located at the corner of Cornell Road and Twin Oaks Drive.
Kyron Horman vanished from Skyline School after a morning science fair on June 4, 2010. He has not been seen since then.
No suspects have been named in the case. Kaine Horman and Desiree Young, who is Kyron's biological mother, both believe Kyron's stepmother, Terri Horman, is involved in the boy's disappearance.

My cousin Mona, who grew up in Jordan and eventually came to the United States to study, made this salad whenever she was homesick — it was a vivid reminder of her father, who loved the piquant tahini dressing. Mona always served Jerusalem Salad with warm lentils with rice, just as her father did. Although she passed away several years ago, it's as if Mona is in my kitchen every time I make this. It is delicious with grilled meats, or spooned onto Falafel in place of the tomato and onion slices.–May Bsisu
Jerusalem Salad Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 to 6
- 1 1/2 pounds firm tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
- 3 small pickling cucumbers, such as Kirby cucumbers, or 1 English cucumber, finely chopped
- 5 scallions, white and light green parts only, finely chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 2 packed cups finely chopped hearts of romaine lettuce
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup sesame paste (tahini), plus more if needed
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1. Combine the tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions, bell peppers, and lettuce in a large mixing bowl.
- 2. In another bowl, whisk the lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, vinegar, salt, and pepper together until the dressing is creamy and pale. If the dressing is too thick, gradually and a little water, whisking, until it reaches the desired consistency. If it is too thin, gradually add more tahini.
- 3. Just before serving, pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat. Serve immediately, to prevent the salad from becoming soggy.

I made this recipe precisely as directed, and it was full of piquant goodness, a wonderful range of color and texture, and a delightfully nutty undertone from the tahini. I think this recipe can also serve as an excellent guidepost for similar salads, and that a range of ingredients, as well as their proportion in the salad, would work in almost any combination. I have had Jerusalem salads previously, but never with the inclusion of lettuce, which added lightness and crispness to an otherwise fairly crunchy salad. Where it is normally texturally a variation on a chopped salad, this felt fresher and cleaner, and I would be enticed to eat more of it. Because it is not as heavy, it also partnered well with the heavier Warm Lentil Salad recipe on this site, as the prelude to an entrée of the Turkish Baked Eggplant with Chile, Feta & Mint, also on this site. There is a little bit of leeway with the directions to serve immediately, but this salad should be made right before serving, as the instructions correctly note that it will become soggy.

No, it wasn't luck that caused the Pittsburgh Steelers to make the plays needed to win in Buffalo yesterday.
No, it can't be considered lucky once again win when being once again targeted by the men in the striped shirts.
But...lest there be any doubt that there are no road gimmes in the NFL, consider the three road wins of the Pittsburgh Steelers since Ben Roethlisberger resumed his duties under center:
*Steelers come from behind to beat the Dolphins by a point on their final possession with the assistance of a fortuitious call on the field and subsequent replay interpretation
*Steelers fritter away a 20-point, 4th quarter lead in Cincinnati, highlighted by the Bengals 50-yard TD drive in which they gained one non-penalty yard. Steelers make a stand at their own 12-yard line in the final minute to beat the hapless Bengals
*Steelers survive certain death in Ralph Wilson Stadium, first needing to punt from inside thier own 1-yard line in overtime, then benefitting from a clean drop of a touchdown pass by Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson
Still, while the joy of some is tempered by yesterday's win in Western New York, I exult in the victory. Simply put, there's no road gimmes in the NFL, and escaping Ralph Wilson Stadium with another addition to the "W" column sure as hell beats losing, and puts the Steelers in great shape for a playoff spot.
For my money, here's yesterdays's game balls:
*To Ben Roethlisberger for his effort in running for a first-down on 3rd & 17, on the Steelers go-ahead drive in the 4th quarter. Steelers had ceded their lead and needed something to happen offensively in that spot. Ben's coach has previously described him as a "ridiculous competitor," and it showed right there.
*To Isaac Redman, who made the most of this 5 carries, converting first downs all four times he was called upon in short-yardage situations, three times in the game-winning drive.
*Rashard Mendenhall, who excels in gaining every bit of yardage available to him, and tied Jerome Bettis for 4th on the all-time Steelers list with 36 carries in a single game, exceeded by only Willie Parker & Amos Zeroue (37 carries...both also in overtime) and Franco Harris (41 carries).
*Hines Ward for showing he's still got game, when some, self-included, are ready to write him off
*James Harrison, for continuing to play the game in the manner in which he was taught as a boy. I can tolerate little no-nothing geeks like Mike Greenburg decrying Harrison's play. It's when football people spew bullshit of which they should know better that makes me insane.
*Defense generally. They twice in overtime shut the door when ceding one more first down puts the Bills in field goal range.
*Shaun Suisham, perfect under pressure in this first field goal attempts as a Pittsburgh Steeler.
Count me in among those who felt as though the performance of the offensive line yesterday wasn't awful. The Steelers moved the ball on the ground, it wasn't exactly a jailbreak on passing downs, and if only the holds against James Harrison were called as tightly as the four violations on Chris Kemoeatu yesterday. Granted, Kemo had a tough day at the office yesterday, and Jonathan Scott struggled as well. And yes, there work will be cut out for them next week against the front of the Baltimore Ravens.
Barring a collapse of epic proportions, these Pittsburgh Steelers will qualify for the NFL's post-season tourney. With three of their remaining five games at home, with three of their remaming five games against teams with a combined won-lost record of 7-26, three wins and a record of 11-5 will qualify for a wild-card entry. A 10-6 record might do it as well, but the Steelers would need some things to break their way, things in the form of another couple Kansas City or San Diego losses, another couple Indianapolis or Jacksonville losses, that certainly could happen. Each pair of these teams has a game remaining against each other.
Should the Steelers beat Baltimore next week, the path will be clear for a run at a first-round bye, which by virtue of last night's Indy loss, would accrue to the Steelers even if they stumble against the New York Jets on December 19th (or Carolina at home....but please). So long as the Steelers don't drop a division game, they'll hold the tiebreaker vs. Baltimore, and quite possibly would also win out if the AFC North crown comes down to the Strength of Victory tiebreaker. The Steelers currently lead in this derby.
Could the Steelers qualify as the AFC's #1 seed? Sure, by winning out, having the Jets win in Foxboro next Monday night, then not lose any ground to New England in the three remaining games on their schedule not filled by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Could be quite the prime-time weekend coming up, Steelers-Ravens Sunday night followed by Jets-Pats on Monday. Here's hoping for a repeat of 2001 in whch they went into Baltimore on Sunday night, December 16th, after losing to the Ravens in Pittsburgh in the wake of mulitple missed field goals, and came away with a victory and a Division Championship.

Yup, just like the title says, we have here a "Supercard-SD" cartridge with a micro-sd to mini-sd adapter and a 1-gig micro-sd card loaded with exactly the following:
- 67 GameBoy/GameBoy Color games
- 28 Sega Master System games
- 16 TurboGrafx-16 games
- 662 Nintendo Entertainment System games
- aprox. 176 GameBoy Advance games
(The games are very populer. I don't deal in crap games.)
(As a side note, i am not charging for the roms, only for the service of compilation, installation and troubleshooting.)
The cartridge itself was cheap that is true, and you could do this yourself, but do you realy want to spend all week gathering the games together (or years here and there in my case) and all night troubleshooting it...?
(That's after you've waited at least 2 weeks for it to arrive form overseas and obtained a decent sized Micro-SD card...)
I have taken all the trouble out of enjoying retro-videogames on your GameBoy Advance/Micro/SP or Dual Screen, so all you have to do is boot up and enjoy.
I will include a mini-CD with futher instructions for system options and websites for obtaining more games as well as including extra neccessary supporting software and extra games on the CD.
The emulation is very faithful. The control is excellent. In particular, the GameBoy/GBC/GBA games are indistinguishable form (if not better than) the real thing, and it will transform your barely played GameBoy Advance system into your favorite, pocket full of cherished wonders. :)
This is open-ended, budget retro gaming at it's finest. This, is what you've been waiting for...

- Put your face near a dog
- Allow dogs to roam unleashed
- Approach a strange dog
- Tease a dog
- Startle a dog

Dispatches from the campaign trail, February 24, 2014
• Republican Senate candidates Rep. Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, and the Rev. Mark Harris collect a couple of major endorsements: Tillis from BIPAC, a Political Action Committee sponsored by large manufacturers and Harris from the Family Research Council PAC, the political organization of the conservative evangelical Christian group founded by the Rev. James Dobson.
• Meantime, Roll Call looks at the GOP contest to succeed Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan, and notes many analysts and consultants think the May 6 primary is headed to a runoff.
• Even though Hagan has lapped the Republican field in fundraising and still is given roughly even odds of winning a second Senate term, as of Friday she hadn't filed for re-election. Filing ends at noon the 28th.
• Former state Commerce Secretary Keith Crisco and "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken (who hasn't filed yet) will have at least one more rival for the Democratic nomination in the 2nd Congressional District: Fayetteville resident Toni Morris, a counselor and member of the state Democratic Party Executive Committee, who filed Friday. The winner of the nomination will face either incumbent GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers or her challenger Frank Roche.
• Democrats think they have an opportunity to regain control of the Wake County Commission. As Carolina Journal reported last week, election trackers see Wake County as one of the few true battleground areas this year in North Carolina.

Not keen
I'm pleased to see one other reviewer shares my view. It's dull and tasteless and I really don't like the toffee flavour. There are better ones available.

My favourite honey.
This is a really lovely honey. A nice texture and lovely mild sweet taste. Great price too.

Tasty and lasts ages
Great tasting honey that lasts a good month once opened before crystallising. Great value too.

no problem
I'm fussy over honey and used to buy top of the range ones for spread and used these kind for glazing and cooking in general, but we've tried it on toast and it's nice and runny so I've been buying it since last year for cooking and spreading on toast or sometimes in coffee

Providence Senate Approves New Graduate Certificates
On Thursday, February 17, the Providence Faculty Senate approved three new graduate certificates: Biblical Studies, Applied Counselling, and Church Ministry. Each certificate program involves six graduate level courses (18 credit hours). All six courses in each program are available online, so students anywhere in the world can earn these certificates at their own convenience without relocating to Otterburne. These certificate programs are available to anyone with an undergraduate degree from a recognized institution. The programs appeal to pastors who want extra online training in counseling or who want to stimulate their preaching with more biblical and theological studies. Missionaries can fulfill their need for professional development while overseas. Youth workers or other para-church workers and volunteers can enhance their ministry theory and practice without leaving their present ministries. The programs also help lay church members who want to explore various aspects of service or who just want to increase their knowledge and skill in a particular area.
Courses consist of audio lectures, course notes, textbook reading and interaction, written assignments, and weekly online discussion with the course professor and fellow students. All courses are fully transferable to accredited Seminary Master of Arts and Master of Divinity degree programs. All courses are taught by present and former Providence Seminary faculty members.

Athlone Castle
The ancient river ford at Athlone was an important crossroads on the Shannon and was the cause of many squabbles over the centuries. By 1210, the Normans had asserted their power and built a castle here.
The ancient river ford at Athlone was an important crossroads on the Shannon and was the cause of many squabbles over the centuries. By 1210, the Normans had asserted their power and built a castle here.
Age certainly hasn't wearied Sean's Bar. Dating way back to AD 900, Sean's stakes its claim as Ireland's oldest pub. Its log fires, uneven floors (to help flood waters run back down to the river), sawdust, rickety piano and curios collected over the years attest to the theory.
With an airy, whitewashed interior, shelves of gourmet goods, and a menu combining superior Irish ingredients with Mediterranean and Asian influences, this sophisticated deli-bistro attracts those in the know. Lunch features bowls of steaming pasta, big salads and chunky open sandwiches, while dinner dishes up beautifully grilled meat and fish and some extraordinary desserts.
Possibly the best Thai restaurant in Ireland renowned for its extensive menu of authentic dishes. All the chefs and staff are Thai (with the exception of one half of the husband-and-wife team who run the place) and you'd be advised to book ahead if you want to join the band of loyal Kin Khao devotees.
The Athlone Castle Visitor Centre contains some informative displays on the Siege of Athlone, the flora and fauna of the Shannon, and the Shannon's role in the production of hydroelectricity. Other highlights are an old gramophone that belonged to the great Athlone tenor John McCormack (1884–1945); and a military and folk museum with two sheila-na-gigs.
Athlone's bus depot is beside the train station. Express buses stop there on many east–west routes. There are 15 buses daily to Dublin (€12, two hours) and Galway (€12, 1¼ hours); three from Monday to Saturday (one Sunday) to Westport (€11.50, 2¾ hours) in County Mayo; and three Monday to Saturday (one Sunday, plus an extra bus Friday) to Mullingar (€10.30, one hour).
This folk park 16km east of Athlone just off the M6 near Moate, features a recreated ring fort, portal dolmen, lime kiln, mass rock, farmhouse and forge. There's also a genealogy centre to help trace your roots, a ćeiĺi on the first Friday of the month year-round and a traditional session with music, song, dance and storytelling at 9pm on Fridays in summer.
From Athlone train station , there are 11 trains daily Monday to Saturday (nine Sunday) to Dublin (€15 to €34, 1¾ hours); three or four daily to Westport (€15 to €32, two hours); and five to eight daily to Galway (€15 to €21.50, 1¼ hours). The train station is on the eastern bank, on Southern Station Rd.
A Athlone favourite, this classy joint has a split-level timber dining room glowing with flickering candles. The menu features traditional Irish favourites spiced up with speciality and local produce. Expect plenty of meat dishes. Sunday lunch is particularly popular.
Cruise along the Shannon aboard a replica Viking longship, complete with costumed staff and dress-up clothes, including helmets, swords and shields. Head north to Lough Ree or south to Clonmacnoise. A round trip to Clonmacnoise allows a 90-minute stop at the ruins.
This slick waterside restaurant gets rave reviews for its stylish design and creative menus. The food is good but at times fussy; think scallops with black pudding bon bon's with crispy bacon and smoked garlic cream. There is outside waterside sitting.
Grab a stool at this eco-cafe serving snacks like pitta sandwiches stuffed with tasty fillings like hummus and felafal or feta and sundried tomatoes, as well as homemade soups and baked goodies.

Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai for PSP1 Comment Published by Jakanden 7 years, 7 months ago in News, PSP.
According to 1UP, Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai will be making its way to the PSP in the series first on that platform.
Dragonball Z: Shin Budokai should have everything you've come to expect from the Budokai games – fast, aerial action filled with energy blasts – and they've upped the ante with wireless multiplayer. Players will have the ability to create virtual tournaments and battle for bragging rights whilst forgoing the wires.
The game is set for a March release and is being developed by Dimps, the same team who released the previous Budokai games. The Budokai series is one of those with a die-hard fan base. Not only is it loved by those who love the anime series, but since (for the most part) they are great fighting games, it also has a large fan-base of non anime-fans. Hopefully the PSP outing will prove another excellent entry in the series.

Dale LePage croons for a cancer cause
Worcester – One of New England's most popular entertainers, singer Dale LePage, is once again crooning for a cause. Voted "Entertainer of the Year" two years in a row for Central Massachusetts, and host of the Charter TV3 hit show WooTube, which reaches over 200,000 households in Central New England, LePage will be joining forces with a great charity for the local release of his latest CD, Dale LePage & the Manhattans LIVE!
Described as "swing with soul," the CD will be launched Saturday, Sept 29 at the El Basha showroom located on 256 Park Ave. in Worcester, with a portion of the proceeds from CD sales going to Why Me. Why Me is a Worcester based non-profit that provides love and support to families battling childhood cancer. Since 1985 they have support over 500 families with support groups, in-patient hospital visits, family fun events, direct financial support, and lodging at Sherry's House – a beautiful eight bedroom residence located in Tatnuk Square. All services provided are completely cost free, including lodging at Sherry's House.
"When I toured the facility, Sherry's House, I was very emotionally moved by the amazing work they do and their heartfelt message," LePage said.
His last CD, A Crooner Christmas, was released in October 2011, and sold over 3,000 copies. A portion of those sales went to help the Worcester Animal Rescue League.
"This CD is what I have always dreamed of doing. I am playing with some of the most gifted musicians I know," LePage said. "My mother always said, 'If you want to be good at what you do, surround yourself with people who are great at what they do.'"
The singer is now fronting a five-piece band that features guitar legend Joe D'Angelo and double-bass virtuoso Geoffrey Watson Oehling, along with drummer Thomas Spears and pianist Bobby Gadoury, both of whom have worked with LePage for the past three years.

Rosie O'Donnell opens push for homosexual adoptions

WASHINGTON (BP)--When talk-show host and activist Rosie O'Donnell declares her homosexuality publicly for the first time on March 14's "Primetime," she will use the occasion to push for the abolition of laws that prevent homosexuals from adopting children in Florida.
According to a transcript of the pre-taped interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer published on the Drudge Report, O'Donnell describes herself as "a really good mother" who has every right to parent a child as a homosexual, CNSNews.com reported March 14.
"You know, it takes a lot for a gay person to become an adoptive parent," said O'Donnell, who has a home in Miami Beach. "It takes a lot to become a foster parent.... And for the state of Florida to tell anyone who's willing, capable and able to do that, that they're unworthy, is wrong."
The talk show host also is pressing her case on a website produced by the ACLU Lesbian and Gay Rights Project, called lethimstay.com.
"If you are among the many policy makers confronted with efforts to restrict gay parenting, learn the facts first," O'Donnell urges caseworkers. "And if you are not directly involved in these issues, involve yourself directly. Talk to your friends, family, and colleagues about the children and families who are affected by restrictions on gay parenting."
O'Donnell's stand comes as Florida's gubernatorial race is heating up and as the American Civil Liberties Union presses a federal appeals court to overturn the state's ban on adoptions by homosexuals.
O'Donnell hosted a fundraiser in December for former Attorney General Janet Reno, a supporter of homosexual adoptions who is challenging Republican Gov. Jeb Bush for the governorship.
Florida is the only state with a law prohibiting both homosexual couples and homosexual individuals from adopting children. In August, a lower court judge in Miami upheld the law, which the state legislature passed in 1977. Two states, Mississippi and Utah, prohibit same-sex couples from adopting.
O'Donnell is both a foster parent and an adoptive parent. Florida law does not prevent homosexuals from adopting in other states and moving to Florida, as O'Donnell has. Nor does it prevent homosexuals from being foster parents. But it prevents homosexual foster parents who are residents from taking the next step to adoption.
O'Donnell failed in an attempt to adopt one of her foster children, who eventually was placed with a married couple.
Family groups denounced O'Donnell's "crusade" to overturn the Florida law.
Concerned Women for America, the country's largest public policy women's organization, said Sawyer should have asked O'Donnell more hardball questions, such as why O'Donnell would seek to create a home that is fatherless by design.
"The Primetime interview has all the earmarks of yet another media celebration of homosexuality, just like Ellen DeGeneres' TV 'coming out' in 1997 and the hype over a mythical gay gene before that," CWA President Sandy Rios said.
"Already, a cover story in People magazine is hailing Rosie for her 'brave new step.' Truth is, Rosie is no hero, and the media's politically correct push for homosexual adoption will only place more innocent children at risk," Rios said.
Paul Cameron, director of the Family Research Institute in Colorado Springs, Colo., recently published a content analysis of 57 testimonies of children of homosexuals in the scientific journal, Psychological Reports.
The testimonies were gathered by two homosexual researchers, "so whatever bias there is, is clearly 'in favor,'" Cameron said.
The children not only knew that the researchers were homosexual, but they also knew that what they said would get back to their homosexual parent.
"You don't have to do much reading between the lines to see that these children had a heavy load to bear. Instability of living circumstances, including co-parents being changed every so often, emotional distress and the need for secrecy were the most common reported problems," he said.
The homosexual adoption debate rages in other states as well. The Nebraska Supreme Court rejected in mid-March attempt by a female same-sex couple to adopt a 4-year-old boy after one of the women became pregnant through artificial insemination.
The ACLU brought the petition for adoption in what family groups saw as an obvious attempt to bypass Nebraska's constitutional amendment passed by voters in 2000 banning same-sex marriage. The ACLU said it will decide March 16 whether to appeal.

Professor Oiva Toikka is one of the greatest names in Finnish glass. His imaginative, rich and bold glass art deviates from the streamlined aesthetic of Nordic design. He has worked in the performing arts for as long as he has in glass. The Birds collection is Toikka's best-known work. He has enjoyed an international career and received numerous awards, among them Lunning Prize, Pro Finlandia Medal, World Glass Now 85 Award, Kaj Franck Design Prize and the Prince Eugen Medal. The Kastehelmi range of glassware that Toikka originally designed in 1964 was also the outcome of a technical challenge. To celebrate Toikka's 50th, Iittala reintroduced a selection of the most popular pieces in the range in year 2010. The idea of using droplets of glass as decoration came to Toikka when he was thinking of ways of covering the joint marks left on the surface of pressed glass pieces by the production process.

GREEN VALLEY, Ill. -- Tazewell County authorities said they found the body of 35 year old Randy Deskin hanging from a tree in rural Green Valley on Thursday.
Deskin is the man who was acquitted last year of the 2009 murder of Dustin Englebrecht in Mason County. Deskin was apparently the last person seen with Englebrecht.
Tazewell Coroner Carl Powell said Deskin's death was due to hanging, and that Tazewell and State Police are continuing their investigation.

Supermodel Niki Taylor has placed her Williamson County home on the market since the house has outgrown her family after her children went to college.The 4,700 square-foot home sits on six acres right in the heart of Brentwood, and is surrounded by antebellum homes that date back to the 1700s."She loved the fact there was so much privacy here," Garrett Beasley with Brentview Realty said. "This was a great spot for her and her family to grow." The home, a custom Southern cape cod, features a master suite wing on the house's first floor, as well as a screened porch, patio and gourmet kitchen, among other custom features. Taylor purchased the home in 2004, and now plans to downsize."I think a lot of people might understand and appreciate going inside and seeing how a true supermodel lived here in the heart of Brentwood," Beasley said. Taylor is currently asking just under $1.5 million for the home.

Philadelphia has a long and rich culinary history. Although most people across the United States think of the famous Philly cheese steak when they hear Philadelphia, the city actually has a lot more to offer in terms of food. Eatible Delights Catering is proud to serve the greater Philadelphia area with a variety of delicious food items. Although many of Eatible Delights menu items have been inspired by the Philly food culture, other regional influences have certainly played a role. In fact, Eatible Delights has designed an entire menu based on southern Creole and Cajun cuisine.
Not everyone understands the difference between Creole food and Cajun cooking. Although travelers may find a mix of Creole and Cajun foods throughout the South, Creole is primarily associated with New Orleans. Cajun cooking also finds its roots in Louisiana, but more from the outskirts of the city and in Louisiana's bayous. Both Creole and Cajun cuisine, offer some of the tastiest food items. Creole and Cajun cooking are both influenced partially by French cuisine along with Southern ingredients.
Creole cooking became increasingly popular through the emergence of New Orleans based chef Emeril Lagasse. Chef Emeril burst onto the television scene with a variety of cooking shows. Prior to Emeril's successful television career, he was the executive chef at one of New Orleans most famous Creole themed restaurants, Commanders Palace. Now, New Orleans is full of celebrity chefs and fabulous restaurants that feature both Creole and Cajun foods.
Thankfully, foodies don't have to travel all the way to Louisiana for some authentic Cajun and Creole cooking. Now, customers can call upon Eatible Delights Catering for a full line of Cajun and Creole foods. In fact, Eatible Delights Catering is now featuring a menu that includes items such as: Creole Crab Cakes, Cajun Chicken Pasta, Grilled Shrimp Remoulade, Seafood Gumbo, Blackened Catfish, Sweet Potato Cheesecake, and much more. The next time you get a craving for some great Cajun or Creole cooking, make sure to give Eatible Delights Catering a call.

Stephanie McMahon, taking notes from The Rock since 2013
HAHAHAHA Everything is fake!
Got a lot of mouth for a Jersey white boy
I'm an enigma wrapped in an oreo cookie. I can be your best friend. I'm not emo because I have a metal reputation to keep up. I never listened when people told me not to talk to strangers. I'm an overall amazing human being, but if you crush my soul, expect payback, or at the very least, a lot of kvetching and douchebaggery to come your way. My eyes are the most awesome shade of blue you will ever see in your life. And most of all, I apologize for nothing.
I post many different things: music, tv, movies, animals, tech, wrestling, etc. Anything that piques my interest at the time. I also post my feelings sometimes because I want to. I never have any regrets over what I do post. Feel free to follow, I follow back.

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy made an impact in his first game back from a concussion against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. McCoy had 13 carries for 45 yards and nine receptions for 77 yards, but it wasn't enough for the Eagles, who lost 27-20.
McCoy had not played since he suffered a concussion the last time the Eagles played the Redskins on Nov. 18. He returned to his starting role, replacing Bryce Brown, who received just four carries and had zero receptions on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: There was some concern about how much McCoy and Brown would split touches, but McCoy showed that he is clearly still the number one option in Philly. He failed to find the end zone, but got enough yards to be productive and really came through in PPR leagues with nine receptions.
The lack of touchdowns is a concern for McCoy, but he is the top back and will receive the majority of the touches going forward.

The actions taken by a 12-year-old girl during a theft at her home could help police catch the suspect.
Jason Janoski says his daughter heard a commotion coming from the outside of their Old Beechwold home. Her father says she went to investigate, peering through the blinds. That's when she says she saw a man pulling at a downspout.
The suspect is accused of stealing all of the copper gutters from the home, according to detectives.
While the male suspect pulled the gutters from the home, the young girl took pictures.
The girl continued to take pictures as the suspect loaded the copper gutters into his truck.
The girl called her mother, and called the police, and continued to document the crime.
Officers were not able to make it to the house before the suspect had left, but the girl had gathered evidence, including a picture of the truck's license plate.
Detectives say the truck was stolen but say an arrest could come soon thanks to the photos.

Have a Heart for Cart!
Sarah Herschbach fundraising for CAMP ODAYIN
We are once again raising money for our fabulous friends at Camp Odayin! Who give Carter so much more than just a great week at camp...
As you many of you already know, Carter's life has been filled with many unforeseen traumas. He has had his world turned upside down many times and found himself fainting and in surgery in the matter if hours. As Carter is getting older, it is much more apparant to us, his parents, that he just can't do some of the things other kids and parents don't think much about. Because Carter's pacemaker has failed more than once resulting in emergency open heart surgery, we can't send him with just anyone, or on just any outing. If we can't be with him, Carter can't participate in many trips/experiances. That's where Camp Odayin comes in. He spends one week, WORRY FREE in beautiful northern MN. He is wonderfully happy there. Looking at photos from his week at camp make me cry because he is the most carefree I ever see him. And I don't worry while he's there, which if you know me, doesn't happen very often.

Nov 7, 2012There are very few games which are able to buck trends with aplomb and do it this gracefully. Pick it up when you can and give it the time it deserves.
Oct 15, 2012The Unfinished Swan is a fairy tale told beautifully through the cooperative effort of the game's graphics, sound, and intuitive gameplay. Polished beyond belief, its hard to believe that this Picasso is going for a PSN price.
Nov 20, 2012Absolutely enchanting from start-to-finish, Swan is a real treat and a prime example of why bigger isn't always better. [Holiday 2012, p.77]
Oct 15, 2012A beautiful, intense but short surprise. A great experience anybody interested in games should buy, taking into account that its opening sequence feels way better than the rest of the gameplay, and that most players will only go through the story once, that is 4-5 hours tops.
Oct 15, 2012The power of The Unfinished Swan – not unlike a Terry Gilliam film, coincidentally – lies in its engagement with our imagination, in its ability to remind us of that capacity for whimsy and fantasy. If your life could use a little less logic and a little more fascination, The Unfinished Swan should not be missed.
Dec 10, 2012The Unfinished Swan is a beautifully crafted, unconventional, sophisticated and provocative game denying the gameplay stereotype by a constant surprising of a gamer. The game is resisting to deplete all of its interesting themes in quite possibly the most annoying way - it ends itself in the middle of the road, at the place where the gamer is willing to submit to it completely.
Oct 16, 2012Beautiful visuals, clever ideas and a pleasant story can't make up for a shallow and overly linear gameplay. Condensed in an experience that lasts about an hour and a half, The Unfinished Swan can't show its true potential nor can it satisfy the player. We really wish things were different, but you can go ahead and ignore what could otherwise have been an indie masterpiece.

Dec 5, 2012I'll just say I had a goofy grin on my face the whole time I played this. I felt like each of the main ideas was more creative and fun than many entire games I've played. I'm now on my third time through, enjoying all of the fun bonuses. I also love having people check it out when they come over... I just really enjoy watching that reaction when they first figure out the opening moments of the game. Strongly recommended!… Expand
Apr 28, 2013Este juego me hizo recordar que sigo siendo un ñiño en mi interior.Con una historia simple que asemeja a un cuento de antaño,lo cual es muy bueno por que da la sensación de estar leyendo un cuento,pero sigue siendo un juego claro,un gameplay que no deja de sorprender en ningún condenado momento,esta es una aventura que no te debes perder.… Expand
Oct 23, 2012This is the most intuitive unique game that's come out since Journey. You're in an all white space and to figure out where you can go you have to throw paint randomly out there until stairs, hallway, etc are revealed. It's a blast figuring out these puzzles. I recommend this to anyone who likes fun.… Collapse
Oct 25, 2012Whoever mentions Call Of Duty in their review of this game is a stupid idiot with a narror minded single idea about what video games are.
This a beautiful living, breathing comic book story, that thrusts players into the mind of a lost child searchingfor who he is and where he came from. Yes it is short, and sometimes it stumbles in it's execution, but all gamers should sample the short but sweet story on offer here… Expand
Nov 6, 2012A good but not great game. It has some very creative ideas but it doesn't do alot with them.The story has some charm but it doesn't really go anywhere. It can be very pretty sometimes and it it's very unique but it just seemed to be missing that extra something that would have made it great. It's also over before you know it without that much reason to go back. Not a bad game but I would have felt much better paying $10 or less for it.… Expand
Aug 2, 2013The Backlog 2: The Unfinished Swan.
Developed by indie team and Sony protégés' Giant Sparrow, The Unfinished swan is a surreal, often beautiful but ultimately flat journey into the mind of a studio bound for greatness.
Grown from a 2008 tech demo The Unfinished swan places the player in control of a young boy named Monroe who is on a quest to find an unfinished image of a swan as it mysteriously vanishes from a painting. Monroe is thrust into the world of the painting leading him into an adventure across a kingdom uncompleted by a king at odds with his subjects. While entirely devoid of people the kingdom is rich with environments and mechanics to help Monroe find the secrets of this unfinished world, the world that ultimately stays strong as the only compelling part in the game.
While some games struggle to keep momentum leading up to a crescendo ending, Giant Sparrows debut suffers from the opposite with the very opening being by far the most compelling. Dropping you into a completely blank world you are told nothing, the stunning sound design builds an environment around the empty space you inhabit. It is with that first splash of paint, revealing part of the space, that this game grabs you. I felt immediately amazed by the concept of a blank world revealed by the user throwing paint. The feeling of mystery and exploration is fantastic and the environments pop with stunning beauty as they are stricken with scattered explosions of black. I really felt the true beauty of this game when looking back from the top of a staircase, over the world I had unveiled. The splashes illuminating a world I didn't know existed gave a feeling of exploration and discovery that was wholly natural.
Unfortunately this does not last forever, as the game progress' the controls are more frequently taken away from you in a manner that I felt was jarring and took me completely away from the experience. The world begins to be pre-colored and you are asked to use water to encourage the growth of vines to climb in a manner that feels like you are working your way through a puzzle, not exploring a vast mysterious kingdom.
Driven by the lackluster story, you move through a couple of differing environments, all with their own little nuances that fall flat making you feel nostalgic toward the once innocent exploration of the first level.
With a disappointing ending and numerous immersion breaking moments the story becomes empty and meaningless with myself feeling like I didn't really care about Monroe by the end in the same way that I did for the little boy in Limbo or the robed figure in Journey, two games that excelled at dumping you into a world to find the story, instead of being pushed through it.
The Unfinished Swan is definitely an attractive game with beautiful moments being offset by a middle riddled with a poor, Mirrors Edge looking city that isn't particularly pleasing to the eye. This coupled with frame rate issues when climbing vines or complex environments, and strange controls when interacting with climbable surfaces leads to a thoroughly disappointing game for a studio admittedly in its infancy. While a bit of a let down, The Unfinished Swan shows great potential for the studio and at this point I have to ask myself, with a 3 game deal similar to That Game Companys' trilogy of Flow, Flower and Journey, if this is Giant Sparrows Flow, I cannot wait for their journey.… Expand
Jan 28, 2013The Unfinished swan had plenty of potential and after Journey, big things were expected of it. Unfortunately, The Unfinished swan is too pompous. It's like a videogame art snob waving it's arms around and crying "Look at me! I'm an artistic masterwork!" Whilst it doe gets kudos for presenting an interesting idea and a nice visual aesthetic, it ultimately fails because it's gameplay is duller than dishwater. Do not be fooled. This is not a worthy successor to Journey.… Expand

William 'Billy' Patient, teen swimmer missing, last seen near the Jupiter Inlet
16 year old lives in Brevard County
JUNO BEACH, Fla. - Rita Patient's 16 year old son, Billy, has been missing off the northern Palm Beach County coast since Sunday afternoon.
The U.S. Coast Guard suspended their search for the Brevard County teen Tuesday afternoon, after searching a 1,013 square-nautical-mile area for 41 hours.
Ms. Patient remembers the last exchange she had with her son.
"The last thing he did was he hugged me tight and said 'I love you, Mom'," she said. "I said 'I love him'." That was on Sunday, just before Billy waded into the ocean water near the Juno Beach Pier. "He only had on the green shorts that he was wearing," she said.
Billy is in Palm Beach County receiving treatment at a place called The Academy, a facility run by American Addiction Centers, designed to help teens deal with destructive habits and compulsive behaviors.
"We were trying to give him tough love and we sent him away and this is what happened and we can't find him," said Pam Jenkins, Billy's sister.
The teen was with a group of about a dozen boys from The Academy. When it was time to come out of the water, Billy was no where in sight.
"When he did a head count, Billy wasn't with them," said Billy's mother.
Conditions along the coast have been rough for even the strongest of swimmers. Lifeguards have been warning people of shore break and rip currents over the last couple of days. "He's a good swimmer but it the current was bad, that could be different," said Ms. Patient.
The U.S. Coast Guard has been on the water and in the air along Juno and Jupiter beaches searching for the teen. So far, they have not found him. His mother says it is breaking her heart. "As much as he wants to be grown up, he is still very much a little boy inside," she said.
A request for comment from American Addiction Centers was not immediately returned.

Tracy Pierson's game review of Delaware State is up on Bruin Report Online. I am sharing the following grafs (since they are not currently behind paid subscription firewall):
Nikola Dragovic, despite scoring 11 points, had a pretty dreadful game. We could laundry list the many things he did poorly, on the majority of UCLA's offensive and defensive possessions. He only scored on lay-ups created by his teammates' assists, or free throws; he missed every other shot he took from beyond 3 feet, and actually missed a couple of lay-ups, too, that were barely contested. Usually, at least, he rebounds well, but he didn't even do that in this one. To start the game, Dragovic on a break missed a teammate on a sloppy behind-the-back pass, had a couple of more bad passes and poor defensive trips, but he inexplicably stayed in the game. In the second half, Dragovic missed a wide-open three, and then drove the lane and tried to go up for a flashy one-handed dunk and was easily called for a charge. A couple of minutes later, Howland did, in fact, pull Dragovic and his back-up, freshman Brendan Lane, came into the game and immediately hit a three-pointer.
It seemed like an obvious message from the basketball gods.
Lane played a very encouraging 14 minutes, getting five points and 1 rebound (even though it seemed like he got a couple more), with two assists and 3 blocks. He was better defensively, which probably kept him on the floor longer, and he looked far more comfortable in the flow of the offense, setting screens without obviously having to think about it. He does, though, still look a bit tentative – but if this is tentative we're looking forward to when he can play without thinking.
Needless to say I trust Tracy's opinions when it comes to basketball observations a lot. This is not the first time Tracy made those observations and they jive with what I have seen in pretty much ever game (the Dragovic part) this season. It's encouraging to hear his positive take on Lane's game (BTW make sure you read rest of TP's take here). I hope Lane can keep it up and Howland gives him the same margin of error he has given Dragovic last two years.
While Dragovic has been bricking away, Keefe has been rehabing. Right now he is hopeful enough that he thinks he can be back by ASU game this week. Apparent he "warmed up with teammates," ran the floor, shoot jump shots and even dunked according to LAT (prior to the Delaware State game):
"I'll play in the next game," he said.
Doctors cleared him for noncontact work last week and he is expected to begin contact drills in a few days. The Bruins face Arizona State at Pauley Pavilion on Thursday.
It will def. be a huge help in terms of depth purposes to have JK back by the Pac-10 season. Speaking of getting ready for the conference season all eyes are of course on Anderson. It sounds like he had a great start last night before getting sloppy at the very end. Howland offered the following thoughts on his starting pg:
Sophomore point guard Jerime Anderson, who had seven assists and five turnovers Tuesday, had five assists and didn't turn the ball over in the first half Sunday. He had six turnovers after intermission but Howland was willing to cut him some slack.
"Maybe he got a little complacent (after the Bruins built the 29-point advantage)," Howland said. "But he did have six steals and six assists.
"If he had limited the turnovers, it would have been a great game (for Anderson)."
We haven't seen a consistent performance from Anderson the entire season. Wonder if we will see any signs of it this week.

another fine materpiece from my favorite band of all time. I listen to alot of different music but the words. The words in Rascal Flatts music. shows genious and composure i wish other music forms had. This song is so righteous that you cant help to like it. Bravo! Bravo!
The best | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/19/08
I have no idea who wrote this song but whoever did knows how the good life should be lived. I'm from a suburban area and LOVE when I get to go up to this small town named Syria up in the mountains to just kick back and get away from everything. If only I could live there.
Wow | Reviewer: Jessi | 4/1/08
Everytime i listen to this song, i get memories of my home. Because i'm from a small town in Kentucky called Wingo. And well, a couple years ago to Canada. And its soo depressing not getting to go back whenever you want. My entire family is down there besides my mom and brother. I miss it so much..
Always brings me back | Reviewer: Regis Lovato | 1/21/08
Brings me back to when I was young, growing up in a small town in NM. Everyone in town new eachother. We would ride our bikes from end to end over and over, and relax on the porch in the evening after dinner.
Now its grown so much, and all the faces are new... It's a different place alltogether. My sanctuary is the crest of the Sandia Mountains, where I can really "Look through God's window", down at the once small town I grew up in. It's like this song is speaking to me!
Mayberry | Reviewer: abigail | 1/16/08
I think of all the songs Rascal Flatts has done, this is my favourite. It has a good meaning, and it is a great song over all.
I have all but 2 of the albums, but i am hoping to get the other 2 for my birthday!!
A song that grows on you | Reviewer: Melvin | 12/16/07
Rascal flatts has spruced up country music to the next level yet retaining their meanigful lyrics. Mayberry is definitely a song that is both that grows on you and yet is ever so meaningful.
Mayberry | Reviewer: Sarah | 12/3/07
I love this song with all my heart. There are few things that I feel as passionate about as the topic of this song. I hate the country life that is being destroyed with the development that is destroying the land. I moved to the city and I hated it with everything I have. I miss "Mayberry" too, my own version. The country, rural life is quickly disappearing. I can "hear the old earth shouting, through the trees as the wind blows." The land is dying.

Starts to the right of False Prophet. The line is characterized by a large low roof with an "S" shaped crack that starts off the right side of this roof. This line follows the right side of the stembox below the roof, continues out the right side of the roof and finishes on the thin S-crack above. The section 25' below the roof to the roof was cleaned by the equipping party but still has a few flakes and blocks that may be loose, so climb with care. The climbing in this section beneath the roof however is quite moderate and protects well. After the roof, the rock quality is immaculate and the intensity jumps up a few levels.
This route protects well with a double set of cams from BD 000 to fingers, a set of nuts from micro to big finger size, and a single set of cams from 0.5 Camalot to #3 Camalot. The anchor is 2 bolts with chains and biners.
To the right of False Prophet. The next set of anchors right of False Prophet's mark the finish of Broken Chain!

Garden Inspiration on Pinterest
While combing through a box in the garage a few months ago, I found a folder stuffed with torn out magazine pages and notes. It was my garden and home inspiration file from nearly a decade ago. As I paged through the pictures, it was fun to see how my style and tastes have evolved. Even though the file contained some ideas I still love, I ended up recycling it, because I feel overwhelmed by the amount of paper in my life. Bills, junk mail, tax notices, stacks of magazines. Ugh. When you're a kid no one tell you that part of becoming an adult is being buried under a mountain of paper.
To keep track of ideas I love (like this amazing kitchen garden, which I will be doing a sneak peek of soon!), while minimizing paper accumulation, I recently started using Pinterest, which is a virtual pin board where you can file away inspiration from around the web. I use it as an online idea file for garden ideas, recipes to try, chicken coops, and more, plus as a tool for keeping tabs on trends. If you're on Pinterest, let me know! I'd love to follow along and see what inspires you. Also, I started a pin board called Grow Cook Eat where I am filing away vegetable varieties I want to grow and DIY edible gardening projects. I'd love for this board to be collaborative, so if you want to pin ideas to it, just let me know and I will add you on as a contributor.

International Franchise Association recognizes an InXpress DHL shipping franchise as the "Franchisees of the Year."
July 17, 2014 /MM-prReach/ —
InXpress franchise #147, based in the state of Utah, is marking its 5 year anniversary as an InXpress franchise. InXpress #147 is owned by Tom Morris and Craig Hendricks, and is the leading InXpress franchise in the world.
InXpress is a sales partner with DHL International, and provides DHL shipping discounted international shipping services to small and medium-sized businesses throughout the United States. "Typically, the small to mid-sized businesses do not get any price breaks directly through the carriers, but because of our tens of millions of dollars in buying power, we can provide significant discounts to companies that typically would not qualify for them based on their volume", said Craig Hendricks.
DHL is the world's largest and most experienced international express carrier. It provides DHL shipping express service to over 220 countries worldwide. Both imports and exports are generally delivered in 2-3 days, nearly anywhere in the world. It also recently won "The Great Package Race" once again. The Great Package Race, a project conducted by students at the Georgia Institute of Technology, challenges different international parcel carriers to determine who can deliver packages to a specific location the fastest. In this year's holiday edition of the race, the goal was to see which carrier could get packages to Santa Claus at the North Pole (Rovaniemi, Finland -eight kilometers north of the Arctic Circle). DHL Express was the clear cut winner, beating the other contestants by more than a full day.
Tom and Craig were recently recognized by the International Franchise Association as one of its "Frachisees of the Year" in its annual meeting in Washington D.C. There are over 750,000 franchise businesses in the United States alone.
In discussing their keys to success, Tom said: "We track all of our customers' shipments to make sure they go through customs without issues. Our customers love it because they don't have to worry about their shipments getting delivered. They know we are taking care of them. Typically, we can save our customers 15 – 25% over their current international carriers."
With so many companies selling their products on-line, potential customers are coming from all over the world. InXpress makes the international shipping process simple and inexpensive.
Tom and Craig have over 45 years of business experience between them, so they know how to use their expertise to add value to a company and reduce their customers' international shipping costs.
Besides partnering with the DHL shipping leading international express carrier in the world, InXpress has partnered with national trucking companies as well to provide deeply discounted domestic freight services.

Architects spend their time worrying how a building suits a
city. So when Belgian-Danish architect Julien De Smedt, 37,
designed a bike, along with William Ravn, he was less interested in
gear shifters than mobility as a whole. The resulting MIKE bike is,
according to De Smedt, "all in" designed to replace city cars so
completely that you can use it to cycle to the airport, luggage and
a companion in tow.
The aluminium frame contains an integrated design system: front
and back LED lights with blinkers; an all-aeroplane carry-on
luggage front tray; pill steer; gender-neutral frame; integrated
lock; vanity basket; and a smartphone docking station for charging,
navigation and other information. A separate kit allows riders to

They're dancing, but it's weird: the smell is of engines, oil

Alexandra Cárdenas. She has no decks. Instead, she's working on a
laptop. A projection behind shows about 20 lines of code, which she
is toying with, stripping some away, modifying the parameters of
others. The minimal techno starts piling up, reversing on itself.
Complex rhythms emerge, fall away, then come back stronger,

Football clubs spend millions signing players, but how do they
ensure new arrivals fit in? Researchers in Boston are investigating
managers' inklings, by quantifying team chemistry.
Daniel McCaffrey and Kevin Bickart, cofounders of SyncStrength,
a sports-analytics company, originally trained in neuroscience and
cognitive psychology. They raided these fields for a notion called
synchrony. Over the past four decades, psychologists have measured
the correlation between people's physical behaviour -- such as eye
contact and body language -- and physiological reactions, such as
heart rate, while they interact in different scenarios. When people
are "in sync" physiologically, they tend to do better. "We looked
at the synchrony between changes in football players'
heart rates through a game," Bickart says. "We thought that
would provide an objective way of assessing something as vague as
team chemistry." Continue reading

Answer all questions on the application truthfully Omitting or falsifying information can cause the company to deny your claim or cancel your policy. Never leave any blank areas on an application form. Dishonest agents can take advantage and fill in the blanks without your approval.
Never sign anything you don't understand Ask all the questions you want and take notes for comparison. It is always a good idea to have a record of what was said for future reference. If an agent is unwilling to explain a policy to your satisfaction, then do not sign or buy the policy.
Compare policies carefully Insurance can be one of the most important ongoing purchases you make to protect yourself and your family from financial hardship. It is important to buy the best coverage that meets your needs and budget. Don't buy coverage you can't afford and never pay with cash. Make checks payable to the insurance company or agency name. Also, be aware of duplicate coverage between policies you own and policies you are considering.
