Miami Dolphins face Patriots with high confidence, but will it turn into a win? (Video, game pick)
- 5:58 pm Thursday, December 12th, 2013 by Post Staff
Hal Habib and CineSport's Noah Coslov break down a big game for the Dolphins' playoff hopes, from how the Patriots will adjust without Rob Gronkowski to how the Dolphins' offense will fare at home against New England.
Check out the video breakdown and Hal's game pick after the jump.
Miami Dolphins talking point: Missed FG call in loss to Baltimore Ravens ends up biting New England Patriots
- 11:16 am Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013 by Hal Habib
The controversy over the New York Jets' 30-27 upset of the New England Patriots on Sunday is showing no signs of simmering, and in fact just took a detour through South Florida.
Thursday Morning talking points: Reggie Bush reiterates desire to return
- 8:37 am Thursday, December 27th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
Talking points for a Thursday morning as the Dolphins prepare for what forecasters predict will be a snowy finale in Foxborough:
1. Reggie Bush continues to make a case that he should return next season as feature running back.
Bush had his last weekly press conference of the season Wednesday and spent much of his allotted time answering questions about how much he'd like to extend his two-year run in South Florida.
"I would definitely love to be back," Bush replied when he was asked yet again about his future plans. "I've said that plenty of times when asked. We'll see what happens in the offseason.
When asked why, he continued, "For one, I don't want to bounce from team to team, I want to have a home base. And I really enjoy the fan base here, the city of Miami, and there's also a great tradition here of winning, of excellence. Think back to the '72 Dolphins, the great players, Larry Csonka, Dan Marino, stuff like that.
"It's just good company, and something we can build off. When asked I talked about wanting to bring back the passion to the city and building a winning franchise." [More]
Wednesday morning talking points: Defense holding up its end
- 7:30 am Wednesday, December 19th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
1. The numbers make it clear that the Dolphin defense continues to hold its own.
If you're looking for reasons why the Dolphins will fall short of the playoffs once again this season, look no further than the 27th-ranked offense, which put up more than 24 points only twice this season and typically failed to deliver in the fourth quarter with the game on the line.
But if you're looking for areas to build on, look no further than the defense, which held Jacksonville to a single field goal last Sunday and stopped the Jaguars on three fourth-down opportunities in the Miami end of the field.
With just two games remaining, Miami now ranks first in the league in red-zone defense, limiting opponents to 19 touchdowns on 49 opportunities for a 38.8 success rate. No one else is under 40 percent.
The Dolphins are also sixth in scoring defense and fifth in third-down defense, all of which brought a smile to the face of defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle when he addressed the media Monday.
49ers, Dolphins have best odds in upcoming Manning Sweepstakes
- 12:50 pm Tuesday, February 7th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
It could happen any day.
While the Indianapolis Colts don't have to make a decision on Peyton Manning until March 8, when they will owe him a $28 million bonus if he is still on the roster, the decision obviously could come sooner. It's become almost common knowledge that owner Jim Irsay has decided to cut Manning loose rather than take the risk _ however large or small it may be _ that the face of the franchise suffer a career-ending injury. Manning has also made it clear that he has every intention of resuming his career.
Manning looms as the best free-agent prospect ever, so one would think there would be more than a dozen teams in the running. But with the myriad of obstacles to be considered _ the prospects for re-injury, his advancing age (36), the notion he'll only be around a short time, the expectation he will want to play in a warm-weather climate or a dome, to name a few _ only about a half-dozen serious contenders have emerged.

Signs indicate Tom Brady, nearly 35, could be nearing twilight of his career
- 11:08 am Monday, February 6th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
Dolphin fans have to be getting tired of looking up at Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC East. This past season marked the ninth time in 11 years since Brady took over as the Patriots' starting quarterback that the Patriots won the division.
But the mere fact that Brady keeps setting career milestones _ Sunday he broke Super Bowl records for most completions (127), attempts (197) and yards (1,277) _ is also a reminder that he can't go on forever. In fact, the window on what most would consider the prime of his career may already be closing.
Brady might well have had his best career year in 2010, when he threw 36 touchdown passes against just four interceptions and led the league with a 111 passer rating. This year he threw for 5,235 yards, the most in his 11-year career and the second-most ever behind Drew Brees' 5,476 that shattered Dan Marino's 27-year-old record of 5,084. [More]
Miami Dolphins Talking Points: Jeff Fisher decision should come today … hopefully
- 10:06 am Friday, January 13th, 2012 by Post Staff
Three Dolphins Talking Points to wrap up the week:
1. Jeff Fisher decision coming today … we think.
I know, I know. We said that Monday, and again on Tuesday, and then we kinda meant it on Wednesday, and didn't really believe it when we said it on Thursday.
But seriously, Fisher will hopefully make his decision between the Rams and Dolphins today. He's had 10 days to stew on his visit to Miami and five days since he wrapped up his visit to St. Louis.
Wednesday Morning Talking Points: Todd Bowles likely to be three-and-out
- 8:42 am Wednesday, December 21st, 2011 by Brian Biggane
Try as they might, the Dolphins were unable to save Tony Sparano's job. Now what shapes up as probably an even more difficult task lies ahead, which is where we start our talking points for Thursday:
1. Todd Bowles seems a longshot to return as head coach next season regardless of the outcome of the last two games.
Once they got past their 0-7 start, Dolphin players talked openly about winning as many games as they could to help convince owner Stephen Ross that Sparano should return as coach next season. In the end, one convincing loss in a seven-game span, their 26-10 thumping by suddenly red-hot Philadelphia, proved enough for Ross to issue Sparano his walking papers.
Players showed the same love for Bowles that they had for Sparano when Jason Taylor awarded him the game ball after his first win as coach Sunday at Buffalo. But knowing Ross, the low-key Bowles is unlikely to be the kind of guy he wants in the position after this year. [More]
Dolphins vs. Patriots: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
- 4:31 pm Tuesday, September 13th, 2011 by Post Staff
First, a couple of quick updates from Dolphins camp this morning.
1) No major injuries to report as of now. Tony Sparano said "we had some dings" and "maybe one or two things that could've been bigger, but we'll see today." Tony McDaniel missed the second half with a right hand injury. Vontae Davis and Sean Smith suffered cramps. Brandon Marshall and Jason Taylor should both be fine moving forward. John Denney appeared to have some sort of shoulder injury. And Sparano said running back Daniel Thomas wasn't that close to playing with his hamstring injury.
2) The Dolphins worked out four running backs on Tuesday morning, according to NFL.com: Brian Westbrook, Julius Jones, Dmitri Nance and Thomas Clayton. None were signed, but the Dolphins will continue to look for upgrades at running back.
And now, let's get on with the Good, the Bad and the Ugly from Monday's 38-24 loss to New England.
* Chad Henne's aggressive tendencies. He averaged 8.5 yards per attempt, up from 6.7 a year ago. Henne completed 10 passes of 20 yards or more, compared to just 37 all of last season.
* Chad Henne's poise in the pocket and at the line of scrimmage. Monday was the first game that Henne was allowed to audible plays at the line, and by all accounts it went smoothly. "We didn't get into anything that at the line of scrimmage was a blunder," Sparano said. "Chad handled all those situations really well."
* Chad Henne's leadership. He took a bunch of shots from Patriots' defenders, but never let it get him down. "He was getting hit, and he still completed the ball downfield," Richie Incognito said. "You never question 7's toughness, his merit or his heart."
And Henne remained positive with his teammates even after the game got out of hand in the fourth quarter. "Even at the end of the game, he's in our corner saying he's proud of the effort we're putting in," right tackle Marc Colombo said. "He's one of the better leaders I've been around, and I've been in the NFL for 10 years. He's the type of guy who gets us in there doing extra work, we watch extra film, things that I wasn't used to at other places. It's good to have somebody, especially at quarterback, take charge of the team."

In November 2007, Amazon introduced the Kindle, the first electronic reader with wireless functionality. The case describes the launch of the Kindle and provides information on representative players in the industry (or broader ecosystem) who are likely to be affected, and react: including Penguin (the leading educational publisher), Barnes & Noble (the largest bricks-&-mortar retailer), Apple and Sony (as manufacturers of competing devices), Google (as a major provider of free e-content) and Adobe (as a competitor in creating an e-book standard).
learning objective:
(i) The case presents a powerful setting to examine how new media affects traditional media firms, and is of direct interest to the publishing industry. (ii) The case can be used to examine how a new technology can potentially reshape industry structure, and how existing players should react. A particularly interesting aspect is how players' reactions may be shaped the actions of others in the ecosystem - in this case, how a publisher's response depends on the moves of bricks-and-mortar retailers, device manufacturers, competing providers of e-content, or competitors for e-book standards. Useful concepts are the pricing of complements, and open versus closed standards.

Starfox Intro Redux & Tribute
Yes, that lovely intro of Starfox that you know all so well is back! Rickonami has been so gracious to share his talents of recreating the original Starfox intro into an udated CG version. This really looks incredible. I just kept thinking that this was a leak to a new Starfox game or cartoon.
For those of you who never played Starfox, go play it now. This new version is a remake of the SNES version of Starfox, but yet some of the clips reminded me of the N64 version. I will post both videos below for comparison.

Console To Closet - Wear Your Video Games
I've posted a few articles on video game themed clothing. Usually a picture gallery of various clothes, where to buy them, and how much they cost. Console to Closet made a whole blog about it. They have full outfits with accessories that have been inspired by, designed, developed, and themed around specific video games. Some of these are really nice outfits for both men and women. In Console to Closet's own words:
Video games have a high aesthetic quality, whether it's detailed graphics, intricate environments, or stylized characters. Fashion shares this quality. Thus, Console to Closet was born. I create outfits inspired by my favorite video game characters, items, and places.
I love video games. I've gamed as long as I can remember on every system from the NES to the XBox 360. Gaming has a habit of seeping into all aspects of my life and because of that, my hobby has become a part of who I am.
I also love fashion. When I was younger, I wanted to be a fashion designer and I think that dream has always stayed with me. I love shopping and I often pick out my outfits days in advance.
With these two loves constantly bumping heads, I decided to create wearable (and fashionable) outfits inspired by my favorite video games.
So, hop on over to Console to Closet and check out more of their digs. The only thing I wish was that they made some more hardcore outfits instead of looking like they're all out of an L.L. Bean magazine. But all and all this is great. I wouldn't be surprised if a Nathan Drake ensemble is designed. I'd buy it.

With all the talk lately of DLC and cut-content, I figured we call all use a laugh on the topic. So in this case watch this video, and see what it would have been like if we had DLC during the 8-bit and 16-bit days. Yeah, buying a red shell in Mario Kart mid-race could have helped many a times.

Link And Samus Costumes To Appear In Dynasty Warriors VS

Samus' Zero Suit from Metroid: Other M and Link's tunic from Skyward Sword have been given to/shared with the Tecmo Koei team to be implemented in the upcoming Dynasty Warriors VS.
Are you into the cross-franchise shameless self promotion? Or should we leave our gaming characters in their own games?

Nightmare Busters, Nostalgia Done Right
Its time to unravel those SNES controllers, and make sure your reset button doesn't stick, because you can finally explain to your better half there was a perfectly good reason for saving your Super Nintendo.
Nightmare Busters will be the first officially licenced game cartridge to be released for the Super Nintendo in 14 years. This amazing looking run and gun platformer was originally created by Nichibutsu, a studio known on Super Famicom for its mahjong and puzzle games. For some reason it was shelved, only seeing a small release in 2004 as a cell phone game under the name of Flynn's Adventure. After a short appearance in a 1995 issue of Nintendo Power, the game seemed to had slipped into the void. This is where Super Fighter Team stepped in and acquired the game.
This isn't SFT's first official cartridge game however, SFT have acquired, localized, tweaked, and prepared several Sega Genesis, Atari Lynx, PC, and mobile games for worldwide release as well. Having garnered attention and praise for their excellent localized scripts and unique sense of humor, SFT have proven there is still a thriving demand for new games in the retro market. I have a hunch that Nightmare Busters will be no different.
If you're having any doubts just look at these amazing graphics, a feat for today's standards, let alone in 1998.
Pre-Orders for a limited run of Nightmare Busters are being accepted at the the site. Sure you if you look hard enough you can find the ROM, hope it's compatible with your latest emulator, and play what is most likely an unpolished game, but that's not how it was meant to be played.
Here's your chance to relive those days, when you ran home with new your game, thumbed through the manual, and smelled that amazing plastic aroma only a brand new game cartridge can deliver.

I had to get a storage unit at the last second so I was running around like crazy trying to find one. I orginally went to the store on Washington street and they didn't have exactly what I needed, however the rep at this store did a search and referred me over to Green Bay. Not only that, but she set up everything to make things easier not just for me, but for the Green Bay store. despite running behind schedule with setting up new leases, everyone was super helpful and moved as quick as they could. I have had to deal with a number of storage facilities with previous jobs and I was never this impressed. Gold stars to this site!

Extremely friendly helpful customer service. Quality storage units and clean. Price is great compared to other facilities.
May 16, 2013
I have had nothing but great experiences at this storage facility. The employees are extremely courtesy and helpful. The set up process was quick and easy and I was even able to get access to a moving truck for free to help in my storage needs. I definitely recommend!

Kyle Anderson
Forward UCLA
April 18, 2014 Kyle Anderson News
RotoWire Fantasy Analysis
Kyle Anderson will enter the NBA draft, Jeff Goodman of ESPN reports.
Anderson will be one of the most unique and intriguing prospects in the NBA draft this year. He possess great size and length, standing at 6-foot-8, yet has the ball handling and passing abilities of a guard. Because of these attributes, Anderson has often been compared to the skill set of Magic Johnson, however the two are definitely not on the same level yet. Anderson is currently projected as a late lottery pick to the back end of the first round in the upcoming draft.

Anderson is expected to forgo his final two years of eligibility and enter the 2014 NBA Draft, USA Today reports.
Anderson averaged an impressive 14.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists during his second year at UCLA, making him a valuable commodity in fantasy college basketball leagues. The 6-9 forward possesses unique versatility that should land him as a first-round selection, but Anderson still needs to improve his jump shot and build strength to become a more complete player.

Lotte Jensen, postgraduate student in Intercultural Communication in University of Sheffield, talks on how she keeps herself calm when dealing with exams, explains why peer learning is effective and reveals her favourite learning space.
She follows her normal rhythm during exams without doing something extraordinary. By waking up in the morning, thinking positively and focusing on the work she has to carry out she overcomes exams stress.
In Denmark, where she is originally from, few written exams take place, whereas oral exams are preferred. If a written exam is to take place, it is usually in maths and the student is supposed to give short and to-the-point answers.
The advantage of oral exams is the immediate help by the tutor once the student has not understood the question. However, both written and oral exams are quite stressful for students, according to her.
Team working is effective, too, she said. Socialising, building logical arguments and negotiating with peers is a very good preparation for the real-life work placements of the future. The Danish educational system is a great supporter of this idea.
Lotte enjoys the facilities offered by the Information Commons and especially the Flexi Space area where she can concentrate and work with her peers in a quite friendly and professional environment.

80's Sofa: Take It or Leave It?
Good Questions
Q: Should I buy a "vintage" Englander brand 80s sectional? Two aspects to my question, quality of manufacturer and wear, and then how the style reads (albeit based on poor photos).
I've been looking to buy a large/low sectional for our basement living room for six months or so. We like modern and fairly minimalist (not extreme), with a few "pops" and a mid-century modern twist here and there. We're trying to go with long low lines (ala mid-century) especially as ceiling are only 7 feet in the room where this is going in the newly finished basement.
I often check out sectionals on Craiglist and this one is too good to pass up without seriously considering. It's "Englander" brand (but I can find references to England brand or Englander mattresses only-- not sure if these are related companies?). I can't find info on whether this was/is a quality manufacturer, especially c1985.
I think I need some fresh eyes. I will be checking out wear, color, fabric, etc. in person and welcome tips on what to look for BUT what I want to know most from you all is how this sofa reads. Assume it is only reasonably worn (I can restuff cushions if needed) and I like the color when I see it in person. Is it:
Cool, slightly slouchy with good long low lines and a pretty light gold color? Or totally outdated and worn out, with a body style better left in the 80s?

leave it. please.
Do you really need us to tell you how horrible that couch looks... or that no one should be looking for a yellow sectional? Is there no one else in your life to run this by?
Don't do it!! That thing's so ugly, it might jinx you.
I think in all honesty if you re-stuffed the cushions it would be do-able. A lot of people see this as tired and ugly but I think at the right price it would be okay. Also I imagine that the photo quality is somewhat bad and that it's hopefully a richer color in person.
It looks ugly to me. But if it's super cheap and you need a place to sit then take it and keep looking!
I love it. Simple lines and low. I'd be happy to drink a Kahlua on the rocks on that bad boy.
When did "80s" become "vintage"?
I wonder if this question came in a month ago, too? Given that it's craigslist, the couch could be long gone or purchased by the question-asker. XD
What makes this couch so attractive to you, considering you're not even familiar with the manufacturer? Is it free? Maybe you do not live in LA, but surely reasonably-priced and attractive sectionals come up on CL all the time? Or are the dimensions of this one just perfect for the room you want it in?
(Please pass on this. XD I think it would cost you more to rehabilitate it than it would to just find a better piece.)
Leave it and never look back!
A few considerations:
1. It's going to be in the basement, not in your formal front parlor, so there's probably a different standard for style here.
2. It looks pretty comfortable. I can see it working well with friends, drinks, a good movie on a large TV set and/or kids.
3. How well it fits into your decor will depend (naturally) on what the rest of the room looks like.
If it's in good enough shape and you like it, I say go for it!
That is a LOT of couch. Even if the color is better in person, I'm not sure I'd do it. Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. But I would probably wonder what else you're doing... if this is for a basement den (with a different colored carpet - yikes!) then *maybe*. But you'd have to go for the lounge-y vibe with lots of throw pillows and art and a carpet to make this work. On its own it's not really a statement piece. For a main living space - too much couch!
Run as fast as you can, and slap yourself for even asking!
No. Just no. That looks like 20 hours of work to get away from "scary" and triple that, plus large expenditures, to near "minimalist" or MCM. Step away from the beige velour.
don't buy that. hideous. this belongs into the category "there is a reason why people get rid of it". (and +1 on 80th is not vintage)
I like it.
1) You will have to replace the foam. 30-year old foam is deteriorating, even if it was seldom used.
2) You will need to reupholster. This sofa will require a lot of fabric, though the lines are simple so that will help with cost.
I'd buy it only if it was a reasonable price and you don't have carpeted floor (carpet+massive sectional = much too much fabric!). I'd also throw some interesting blue & magenta throw pillows on the big bad boy.
Covering the base with fabric doesn't really sound cheap... depending on the fabric, even if you find a cheap one you look, look how much fabric that would be.
I hate most 80s stuff, but this doesn't immediately scram 80s to me. It's not overstuffed or peach or aqua colored. It actually looks really comfortable and if you add some nice throw pillows it could work out, IMO.
Bottom line, if YOU like it, get it. Eventually, 80s style will cease to be revolting and you're gonna see everyone on AT raving about late century modern ;-)
No. For the price to re-stuff and reupholster, etc. you could buy a perfectly good looking newer sofa.
it wont be worth it to replace the foam. I would add stuffing with upholstery batting, and clean it. It depends on how cheap you can get it and if your basement gets water in it forget it. I would never put it in my basement because if there was any flood it would be impossible to get out. If all you are going to do is have a bunch of kids and dogs jump on it it is fine if you can get it cheap and clean it.
leave it.
I am all for making over something drab to fab. But I cant honestly find anything redeeming about this poor couch. It needs to be put out of its misery.
The amount it would cost to reupholster would amount to a new sectional. Plus all those seat cushions? I guess you could turn the seating into one long cushion...but I still see it as being cost prohibitive to what the actual outcome would be.
In this case its not a good bones/could be good piece that needs salvaging. sorry.
Leave it! It's ugly. It's in bad shape. It's slouchy so will not be comfortable. It's big so will be a pain to get rid of when you are tired of it in a couple of months. It might be cheap - but expensive in the long run. If you decide to reupholster, it can cost $2,000.
Keep looking. Vintage 50s is much better quality than this.
Craigslist is full of beautiful sectionals in much better shape... why take one that needs so much care?
(That said, assuming the photo is making it look shlubbier than it is, that sectional could look very cool in the right room.)
It only works if you're going for a kitsch look.
What about bedbugs?
Leave it. Just because it's old does not mean it's "vintage".
Yikes. No. Even if it is free, you could likely find a better giveaway.
Do you happen to live in the Detroit area? I remember there was a nice upscale furniture store called Englander. (I'm not sure if it's still around since I'm no longer living there.) If it came from there I'm certain it was a very good quality product to begin with. Unless the fabric is worn or not an acceptable color (the photos actually look promising to me) replacing the seat cushions and adding a little stuffing to the back one seems like a viable option. I would definitlely investigate further!
yeah right. An 80s couch. And get yourself a perm while you are at it.
Good clean lines? I don't see it. In fact, I think that's the problem with it...the cushions have anything but. There *were* sectionals that looked good from that era, but I'm not seeing it here.
We actually owned a sectional that looked exactly like this in the 1990's (hand me down from my mom, who may have purchased it used)...
bedbugs are my top concern, and also the cost of redoing it, restuffing etc. you could buy a brand new one! unless it ewas free, of course.
Not only would I not consider buying it, I wouldn't take it for FREE. That wasn't stylish when it was new.
Hi Nicole... funny thing is, my boyfriend has this exact couch. We're getting ready to move in together next month, and that couch is coming with us. I had really hoped to upgrade, but as it turns out, we are both attached to how comfy and useful it is. Plus I think it's going to go pretty well with our dark wood furniture, exposed beams, vintage-y collections, area rug, and b&w artwork. Mostly I'm hoping it will sort of disappear into the background :) ~Nicole
OMG, don't do it. If you want something low to the ground and comfy to just plop down on, but don't want to spend a lot of money...Build Something!
We had a couch like that growing up. It was SOOOOOOO comfortable. best naps of my life, hands down.
I have to say no.

Before I get to what could be some very big news, let's take a quick look at yesterday's win and how the keys to the game panned out for the Rams.
Who Are These Guys? – The Rams defense did a nice job stopping the Broncos for about 2 1/2 quarters, and that allowed them to build the big lead. Obviously, the first drive of the game was ugly, and the fourth quarter was awful until the last drive, but overall I was happy with the effort. Brandon Lloyd put up some solid numbers (4 rec, 76 yds, 2 TD), but most of that came in the fourth. They kept him bottled up nicely before those big plays.
Mile High Effect – I don't think the altitude had much effect on the game, although the defense did look a little slow late in the game. I think most of that is probably because we had a big lead, and they stepped up on the last drive, so it's all good. The team was prepared, and they finished it off.
It's Sam's Time – I'm not one to toot my own horn (beep…beep), but Sam Bradford had a monster showing and the best game of his young career. He wasn't under a ton of pressure throughout the game, and Denver's secondary was pretty awful. Still, I had a feeling he was going to go off, and if it wasn't for his play, we would not have won the game. Thank you Mr. Bradford.
There has been plenty of sunshine and rainbows over the last few days, but I still have some concerns from this game. First, this team needs to learn how to put opponents away when they get a lead. We have had several decent-sized leads disintegrate in the second half, and it almost happened again. I like that we finally finished one off, but it shouldn't get to that point. Also, I still wish the team would be less conservative when they get a lead. I'm not saying thrown bombs downfield on every play, but you can't have three consecutive three-and-outs in the second half when you are trying to seal a win. Find a way to get a first down or two. I don't think that's too much to ask.
Now on to the big news. Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting that San Francisco running back Frank Gore broke his hip in tonight's win over the Cardinals and is done for the season. I don't think I'm alone in thinking that the Niners are the biggest threat to us winning the division at this point, so this could have a major impact on the rest of the season. Brian Westbrook played well after Gore went out tonight, but he certainly isn't the same threat.
In Rams injury news, TE Michael Hoomanawanui has a high ankle sprain and is expected to miss at least one month of action. It seems like every time he starts to get going, he's back on the training table. Obviously this is bad, but it's just a chance for other guys to step up. The good news is that we are fairly deep at the position with Billy Bajema and Daniel Fells, but it still hurts.

Stroke Health Center
Shingles and Stroke Risk
In people who'd had shingles when they were over 40, the risk of stroke was not increased, the investigators found. However, the risks of heart attack and mini-strokes were slightly higher.
For those who had shingles before age 40, however, risk of stroke was 74 percent higher compared to those who hadn't had shingles. Their risk of mini-stroke was 2.4 times higher and their risk of heart attack was increased by 50 percent, the study revealed.
Breuer said the reason that having had shingles might increase a person's risk of stroke, mini-stroke or heart attack is that shingles can also cause an inflammation of certain blood vessels. In people who already have risk factors for stroke or heart attack, this inflammation would add to that risk, she explained.
However, two U.S. doctors suggested that stroke risk posed by shingles might be overstated.
"The risk may be higher in people under 40 because of all the confounding factors they looked at," said Dr. Kenneth Bromberg, director of the Vaccine Research Center at the Brooklyn Hospital Center in New York City. "Maybe more attention is paid to factors like diabetes and [high blood pressure] in people over 40. Maybe if you deal with the risk factors, the zoster might be less of an issue."
Added Dr. Len Horovitz, an internal medicine physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City: "Clearly, this study found an association between stroke and shingles in people under 40, but it's unclear what the exact mechanism is.
"This study raises more questions than it answers," Horovitz said. "Would these findings be the same in the U.S.? These researchers looked at a British population. Do we need to be more vigilant about screening people who've had early shingles? Is it really a risk factor for stroke? Would the vaccine have any effect?"
Study author Breuer said it's unclear what effect the shingles vaccine might have on the increased risk of stroke.
In the meantime, all three experts advised that anyone who's had shingles before age 40 be screened for stroke and heart attack risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and unhealthy cholesterol levels.

Obtaining a payday advance is quite effortless for many individuals. However, securing an online payday advance is easier than you can imagine!
Many individuals have found themselves, at one time or another, in a dire financial situation. Although some people have the option of turning to credit cards and other sources of credit, the fact of the matter is that many individuals simply cannot secure traditional credit because of a poor credit score.
Financial Emergencies Answered
Payday advances should never be used as a frequent solution to your short-term cash flow problems, but they can certainly prove to be quite helpful when you find yourself in a financial emergency. Heading to the Internet and applying online for a payday loan further facilitates the process, as it allows individuals to receive their much-needed cash in a very short period of time – often less than 24 hours!
When a Payday Advance may Prove to be Useful
There are many circumstances in which an online payday loan may be incredibly useful. Each and every family has different financial obligations and varying circumstances under which they may need the assistance of an online loan. As such, payday loans may be used in any number of situations.
Some individuals may use a payday loan to cover the rent payment; others may use this type of short-term loan to stop harassing phone calls from creditors, and some individuals may use these loans to prevent bank overdraft fees. Whatever your reason for using a payday advance, consider the many advantages of applying online.

Goshen To collectors, it's all about getting that rare item. That's why Saturday, music enthusiasts will have the chance to find that rare album to add to their collections and it's all for the 2014 Record Store Day.
Record Store Day is always the third Saturday of April every year. It's a day designed to release special records to draw people into their neighborhood independent record stores.
The records released are items you won't see online, only in these stores.
Ignition Music Garage, in Goshen, is one of the independent stores participating. In order for a store to participate they had to sign a pledge saying they wouldn't pre-sell these records, hold them, sell them online or gouge people price-wise.
The owner, Steve Martin says once you get approved you can see the published list of the special records. He says each store owner can choose from 500 titles. Since they can't buy them all they work with customers to find out what they want and what is the most popular.
Once the records arrive, Martin puts them all on tables in alphabetical order. They also have signs on the records explaining what they are and how many they have.
Come Saturday, the store will open at 8 a.m. but people will be lined up hours before that. Each person is given and number before they come into the store. To make things smooth and simple, 10 people will be allowed to look at the table at a time and choose what they want to buy. They will do that until everyone gets to see the table.
Martin says on top of records there will be a number of door prizes. He says Shiny Shiny Black will also be playing at 9 a.m.
Ignition Music Garage will stay open until 8 p.m. It is located at 120 E. Washington, Goshen, Indiana.

Quesnel River Pulp Receives Industrial Energy Efficiency Funds
The British Columbia utility FortisBC has awarded a wood pulp mill – Quesnel River Pulp – with a $250,000 incentive to make energy efficiency improvements.
The pulp mill, a division of West Fraser Timber, is the first participant in FortisBC's Industrial Technology Retrofit Program, which offers monetary incentives to industrial natural gas customers for energy efficiency projects.
Quesnel River Pulp will receive funding up to 50 percent of the cost of its energy efficiency upgrades, to a maximum of $1 million over the next three years. The incentive from FortisBC covers the costs of the project, including new equipment, installation and old equipment removal, including taxes. With the aid of the incentive, Quesnel River Pulp may be able to reduce the payback period on its equipment investment within a few years.
A major component contributing to the efficiency will be the replacement of heat exchangers with more efficient spiral-wound units. The new units will reduce the amount of natural gas required for drying the pulp, saving approximately 70,000 gigajoules (GJs) of natural gas annually, the equivalent amount of natural gas consumed by all customers in the city of Vancouver over the course of two days.
The Industrial technology Retrofit Program is available for FortisBC industrial customers who use more than 10,000 GJs for process heating. Depending on consumption, participants have the option of receiving up to 75 percent of the cost of implementing new equipment up to a maximum of $375,000, or receiving up to 50 percent of the cost to a maximum of $1 million.

Crafty Window Remodel
This morning I decided that I wanted to do a quick crafty project before I went to work this evening (ya for work at Anthropologie!!). Quick crafts are always great because if a project gets drug out over numerous days my brain will sometimes have an ADD moment and lose focus. I like making little things to have around my room and studio because it makes me happy to be surrounded by my own special creations. I am proud of {most} everything I create and I am of the belief that all handmade items should be displayed proudly (if someone, including yourself, took the time to make something, the least you can do is show it off).
For today, I decided to tackle my studio windows. I have all these amazing windows in my studio which let in all this great light (sadly this is a negative thing in the summer when it is 100 degrees here). I did not want to change the windows or block the view I have into our green backyard but I did want to create some cute garlands for decoration. Here are my windows before my crafty intervention:
Scout was on hand to lend her support! She quickly retreated to her comfortable bed in the other room because apparently this concrete was not cutting it.
I decided to make a garland of triangle shapes out of craft/butcher paper. You could easily use a grocery store paper bag too. I made a template out of cardstock, traced them onto the butcher paper, and then cut them out. Finally, fold them in the middle.
I made two sizes of the triangle shape. On the larger ones (pictured above) I stamped black dots. I love polka dots! I didn't have a circle stamp so I improvised and used a pencil eraser.
Finally, I glued the triangles onto baker's twine. EASY!!
Here are the mini triangles.
And now for the results...my new and improved crafty studio windows:
Super cute! Maybe I'll make more mini garlands in the future and add to my current window display. I am a fan of all garlands and I don't think they should be limited to special occasions only. Garlands for everyone, everywhere, anytime.
