|Rookies make big impact in debuts
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 11 September 2008 14:12
His dad wouldn't let him play.
Seems strange considering Gene Forte starred at Tulane in the 1970s, but he was adamant when his son asked his permission.
``I was 5 years old,'' Matt Forte said.
So he had to wait another year.
He wasted no time making an impact in the NFL, though.
As debuts go, Forte couldn't have scripted a better one. The first rookie running back to start a Bears opener since Walter Payton in 1975, he showed speed and toughness while rushing for 123 yards.
ders and Clint Session after a reception.
Forte gave one of several notable performances by rookies in their debuts last week.
Philadelphia receiver DeSean Jackson backed up boasts that he should have gone in the first round of the draft, not the second. Denver receiver Eddie Royal had some crowning moments against Oakland, and Tennessee running back Chris Johnson shined along with quarterbacks Matt Ryan of Atlanta and Joe Flacco.
Defensive players came through, too.
New York Jets cornerback Dwight Lowery, Giants safety Kenny Phillips and Forte's teammate, Marcus Harrison, all delivered big plays.
With Reggie Brown bothered by a sore left hamstring and Kevin Curtis recuperating from sports hernia surgery, the Eagles turned to Jackson in a 38-3 win over St. Louis. He excelled.
Jackson caught six passes for 106 yards and returned eight punts for 97 yards, electrifying the crowd with a spectacular catch and punt return.
The 5-foot-10 Jackson's first reception was a dazzler in which he went over cornerback Tye Hill for a 47-yard gain that put the ball on the St. Louis 33.
The long punt return left a few jaws hanging, too, with Jackson breaking tackles while going sideline to sideline on the way to the 9.
I felt very confident out there. I was just ready.''
So was Johnson.
He ran for 93 yards on just 15 carries and caught three passes for 34 yards, including a touchdown for Tennessee in a 17-10 win over Jacksonville. It was the best performance in an opener by a rookie running back for the franchise since Earl Campbell ran for 137 yards in his debut against Atlanta in 1978.
``I wanted to come in and have a good game, miss no blocks and make all my reads,'' Johnson said. ``I had a better game than I thought I was going to have. I didn't know how much I was going to play. I feel like I exceeded my expectations.''
The Titans were criticized for not taking a receiver with the 24th pick, but they liked what they saw from Johnson at East Carolina, where he finished with 6,993 all-purpose yards.
``He's very explosive, he's got great speed and it's a good one-two punch,'' coach Jeff Fisher said. ``We've felt that way, we'll keep him healthy and he's going to be a great combination.''
Ryan, the third pick, became the first quarterback in eight years to throw a touchdown on his first pass, and the Falcons turned the page on the Michael Vick era by beating Detroit 34-21.
``It's just one performance and I think that's the biggest thing,'' said Ryan, the former Boston College star.
Ryan threw just 13 passes but completed nine for 161 yards, and his first attempt was most impressive.
He hit Michael Jenkins on a slant over the middle for a 62-yard touchdown on the opening drive, raced downfield to celebrate and knocked over Todd McClure when he jumped on the center's back. The last quarterback to throw a touchdown on his first pass was Michael Bishop for New England in 2000, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Like Ryan, Flacco put aside any jitters as Baltimore started a new era with a 17-10 win over Cincinnati. The 18th pick from Delaware, he was 15-for-29 for 129 yards and no interceptions, and broke off a 38-yard touchdown run in his - and coach Jim Harbaugh's - debut.
``It's just football,'' Flacco said. ``It's a lot of fun though, just like it's always been. Once you get out on the field and you're around your guys, it is just football. It's the same thing we've been doing for the last 20 years of our lives, we've been playing football.''
hen he committed two 15-yard personal fouls against Royal on the same drive in the second quarter.
On the defensive side, Lowery batted a pass by Miami's Chad Pennington in the end zone on a fourth down in the fourth quarter of the Jets' 20-14 victory. He was solid in coverage all game.
``It was everything that you would expect,'' he said. ``It was fun. My teammates made me feel real comfortable. They let me know they were there for me. I think that helped out a lot.''
Phillips twice made third-down tackles to stop receivers short of the first down marker as the defending champion Giants beat Washington 16-7. And for the Bears, Harrison sacked Peyton Manning in the second quarter to set up a safety.
Forte, meanwhile, opened a few eyes with his performance. Actually, he did that during predraft workouts.
Carolina coach John Fox indicated the Panthers might have considered Forte had they not taken Jonathan Stewart with the 13th pick. Now, they'll try to contain him Sunday.
``When we took a guy with our 13th pick, we weren't going to take another guy after that,'' Fox said. ``But had that gone different, he was a guy we definitely had a lot of interest in.''
orry about the rookie's work ethic.
His dad's pro dreams were derailed by knee injuries, but the younger Forte keeps going. He's known to run sprints in the street at night when he's bored. Sit-ups and push-ups are part of the regimen, too, although he hasn't started that routine with the Bears yet.
Maybe that'll be the next step. He took a big one last week.
AP football writer Dave Goldberg and sports writers Rob Maaddi in Philadelphia, Teresa Walker in Nashville, Dennis Waszak Jr. in New York, Dave Ginsburg in Baltimore, and Charles Odum in Atlanta contributed to this report.

Just had this question fired at me for my helpline column. Basically, a guy has aquired a new hard drive (does not say if it is new or secondhand) and has installed W7 onto it. When he boots he is confronted with the screenshot below. I suspect the drive has been setup as a multi-boot device and is still running a non-Windows bootloader. What do you think? Oh, and my advice was to wipe the drive and format it correctly wiping the MBR.

You have to remember that most people who write into columns like mine have very limited technical abilities and often what to us would seem to be a drastic course of action will often be the best for them. You could fix this by bootign from the W7 install disk and fixing the bootloader via command line. However this may or may not work, so the suggested solution will wipe his drive correctly and will leave Windows with a stable bootloader.

According to this other post that describes a similar screen and text, it's software by Paragon - Boot problem
I'd boot up using Super FDISK and erase the MBR. Require minimum technical skills and works nearly all of the time for issues like that.

... of a Dr Dre film clip.
Unperturbed we played some poker, roulette and slots. Our stake was small but lasted a few hours which was long enough to justify the outlay. The free drinks certainly helped to overcome the drab interiors and the fact that our feet were sticking to the carpet.
We checked out the beach in the morning before we left and it had a nice break, with a few brave surfers and a couple of sunbathers. Alas the boardwalk was still empty. ...

Today was anything BUT typical. Little did I know that this arena has been the home of the Miss America pageant for many years. It was an arena, though it seemed to take longer than most arenas to set up. I ended up waiting until nearly 2PM before even starting on our first LED screen.

DEFINITION of 'Glide Path'
Refers to a formula that defines the asset allocation mix of a target date fund, based on the number of years to the target date. The glide path creates an asset allocation that becomes more conservative (i.e., includes more fixed-income assets and fewer equities) the closer a fund gets to the target date.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Glide Path'
Target date funds have become very popular among those who are saving for retirement. They are based on the simple premise that the younger the investor, the longer the time horizon he or she has and the greater the risk he or she can take to potentially increase returns. A young investor's portfolio, for example, should contain mostly equities. In contrast, an older investor would hold a more conservative portfolio, with fewer equities and more fixed-income investments.
Each family of target date funds will have a different glide path, which determines how the asset mix changes as the target date approaches. Some have a very steep trajectory, becoming dramatically more conservative just a few years before the target date. Others will take a more gradual approach.
The asset mix at the target date can be quite different as well. Some target date funds assume that the investor will want a high degree of safety and liquidity, because he or she might use the funds to purchase an annuity. Other target date funds assume that the investor will hold onto the funds, and will therefore include more equities in the asset mix, reflecting a longer time horizon.

TVA Reports Net Income of $54 Million in Second Quarter 2013
The Tennessee Valley Authority reported Friday net income of $54 million on operating revenues of $2.74 billion in the second quarter of 2013. This compares with a net loss of $94 million on operating revenues of $2.60 billion in the same period last year.
"We ended the second quarter 2013 essentially on plan," President and CEO Bill Johnson said. "More normal weather had a favorable impact, as did employee efforts to reduce costs.
"We are focused on controllable factors that improve cost management and drive operational performance as we work to keep rates low. This is particularly important as we enter the summer months, when customer usage and sales typically are at the highest levels," he said.
Sales to local power companies that distribute TVA electricity were 9 percent higher in the second quarter and 5 percent higher in the first six months of 2013, compared with the same periods last year. Higher off-system sales as a result of excess generation also contributed to higher sales. Offsetting these increases were lower sales to directly served industrial customers, TVA said in its quarterly filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Total revenues increased 5 percent in the second quarter and 3 percent year to date, compared with the same periods last year. The increases were driven by higher fuel cost recovery due to higher fuel rates and an increase in electricity sales. Base revenue was $36 million higher in the second quarter due to an increase in electricity sales, but was down $49 million in the first six months of 2013 in part from a decrease in the effective base rate as distributors selected new wholesale rate structures.
Fuel expense was $148 million higher in the second quarter and $302 million higher in the first six months of 2013, compared with the same periods last year primarily due to more nuclear outages in 2013, which resulted in more generation from higher-cost sources, particularly natural gas and coal-fired generation.
"We were pleased to be able to hold our average power rates steady for customers, despite the increases in fuel and commodity costs," Chief Financial Officer John Thomas said. "To further improve TVA's power rates, we will continue developing a more balanced generation portfolio through effective asset management."
Operating and maintenance expense increased by $13 million in the second quarter and was $52 million higher in the first half of this year compared with the same periods last year. During the first six months of 2013, TVA completed three nuclear refueling outages and a steam generator replacement project and began a fourth refueling outage, compared to one nuclear refueling outage in the same period last year.
For the six months ended March 31, 2013, TVA reported a net loss of $191 million on operating revenues of $5.32 billion, compared with a net loss of $267 million on operating revenues of $5.17 billion in the same period a year ago.

Last Update on November 21, 2014 18:31 GMT
BEIJING (AP) -- China's central bank unexpectedly slashed interest rates on Friday to re-energize the world's No. 2 economy, joining a growing list of major economies that are trying to encourage growth in the face of a global slowdown.
On top of the rate cut, Chinese authorities promised to inject credit into the financial system if needed.
The People's Bank of China said it is trying to address "financing difficulties" caused by a shortage of credit. It also said the move was not a change in monetary policy and economic conditions are within an "appropriate range."
China's economic growth fell to a five-year low of 7.3 percent in the latest quarter and manufacturing and other indicators are declining. That has prompted suggestions Beijing might intervene to prop up growth.
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) -- European Central Bank head Mario Draghi says the chief monetary authority for the eurozone is willing to "step up the pressure" and broaden its stimulus efforts to help the struggling economy.
Draghi said Friday at a banking congress in Frankfurt, Germany that if current efforts do not achieve the desired effect the ECB could "broaden even more the channels through which we intervene."
The ECB has already lowered its benchmark interest rate to near zero and started purchasing bonds made up of bank loans to companies -- an effort to boost lending and economic activity.
Some economists think the bank could widen the bond purchases to include corporate or government bonds in an effort to pump newly created money into the financial system -- so-called quantitative easing, or QE.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Unemployment rates fell in 34 U.S. states in October, a sign that steady hiring this year has been broadly dispersed through most of the country.
The Labor Department says unemployment rates rose in just 5 states, the fewest since April. Rates were unchanged in 11 states.
Nationwide, employers added 214,000 jobs in October, the ninth straight month of gains above 200,000. That's the longest such stretch since 1995. The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 5.8 percent, a six-year low, from 5.9 percent. Steady economic growth has prompted more companies to add jobs, though the additional hiring hasn't yet boosted wages.
Georgia had the highest unemployment rate, at 7.7 percent, though that was down from 7.9 percent in September. North Dakota continued to have the lowest rate, at 2.8 percent.
DETROIT (AP) -- Toyota is recalling nearly 423,000 Lexus luxury brand cars in the U.S. to fix fuel leaks that can cause fires.
The recalls affect the 2006 to 2011 GS, 2007 to 2010 LS and the 2006 to 2011 IS models.
Toyota says the cars' fuel lines have nickel phosphate plating to protect against corrosion. Some lines could have been built with particles coming in contact with a gasket. That can cause the sealing property to deteriorate and cause fuel leaks.
Toyota says it's not aware of any fires or injuries caused by the problem. The company found it after getting complaints of fuel odors.
Dealers will repair the gasket seating surface at no cost to owners.
Some of the Lexuses were recalled in 2009 to fix leaks in aluminum fuel pipes.
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's transport ministry has told air bag maker Takata to conduct an internal investigation after cases of its air bags exploding triggered safety concerns in the U.S. and other countries.
Transport Minister Akihiro Ohta said Friday that the ministry ordered Takata Corp. to conduct its own investigation into the air bags and report back. The ministry's direct instruction to an auto parts maker is considered rare.
The ministry also ordered Takata and Japanese automakers to study whether additional recalls are needed at home following a U.S. decision to expand recalls nationwide from an earlier measure limited to high-humidity zones.
Takata air bags can inflate with excessive force, sending metal shrapnel toward the driver and passengers. The problems have caused six deaths and dozens of injuries.
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) -- Ford says its new aluminum-bodied F-150 pickup will get up to 26 mpg on the highway, making it the most fuel efficient gas-powered full-size pickup.
The Ram truck is the current leader among pickups, getting up to 25 mpg on the highway with a gas engine.
Fuel economy is a key data point for the new F-150, which is arriving at dealerships this week. Ford shaved 700 pounds off the weight of the truck by switching the body from steel to lightweight aluminum, a dramatic change for the best-selling vehicle in the U.S.
The F-150 will get 26 mpg on the highway with a 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine, which is a $495 option. That is 13 percent better than the outgoing truck's 23 mpg.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is delaying a decision on whether to reduce the amount of ethanol in the nation's fuel supply.
Last year the Environmental Protection Agency proposed to reduce the amount of ethanol in fuel for the first time. The decision angered corn growers and ethanol companies who have since lobbied the government to reverse the decision.
The EPA said Friday it expects to make a final decision next year.
The ethanol targets are required by a 2007 law that tried to address global warming, reduce dependence on foreign oil and boost the rural economy by requiring oil companies to blend billions of gallons of biofuels into gasoline annually.
Lawmakers did not anticipate fuel economy would improve as much as it has in recent years, reducing overall demand for gasoline.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says President Barack Obama's immigration executive actions would boost the economy by expanding the U.S. labor force and increasing worker productivity. It says average wages would rise over a 10 year period, a claim that Obama critics and even some labor allies dispute.
The report by Obama's Council of Economic Advisers estimates the administrative actions would increase the gross domestic product by $90 billion, or 0.4 percent, over 10 years. It says wages for native workers will rise by 0.3 percent by 2024
The report aims to counter critics such as Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, who say the executive measures would reduce wages and cost American workers' jobs. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka also says Obama's moves to provide access to temporary visas could suppress wages in the tech sector.
Obama's actions could spare nearly 5 million immigrants illegally in the U.S. from deportation and make them eligible for work permits.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Online streaming service Aereo says that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, saying an unfavorable ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court was too difficult to overcome.
In June, the Supreme Court ruled that Aereo operates much like a cable TV company. As a result, the court said the service violates copyright law unless Aereo pays broadcasters licensing fees for offering TV station programs to customers' tablets, phones and other gadgets.
CEO Chet Kanojia said in a statement Friday on the company's website that the Supreme Court decision "effectively changed the laws that had governed Aereo's technology, creating regulatory and legal uncertainty."
Kanojia said that the Chapter 11 filing will allow Aereo Inc. to maximize the value of its business while avoiding the cost and distraction of litigation.
PARIS (AP) -- HSBC says it has been placed under formal investigation in France over services it offered to clients required to pay taxes in France.
In a statement Friday, Switzerland-based HSBC Private Bank said French investigators demanded a 50 million euro ($62 million) bond.
France's government is increasingly cracking down on tax dodgers, including establishing an office dedicated solely to investigating financial crimes.
HSBC said the investigation involves the bank's actions from 2006-2007.
MOSCOW (AP) -- Russia's foreign minister says there should be no intervention in global energy production, even as the country's economy takes a hit from rapidly falling oil prices.
After a meeting with his Saudi counterpart in Moscow, Sergei Lavrov said both Russia and Saudi Arabia did not want oil production targets to be affected by "political or geopolitical designs."
The theory that the United States has manipulated global oil production to bring down prices is a popular theme on state-owned television in Russia, where the economy and state budget are heavily dependent on oil exports.
Also on Monday, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak told Russian news agencies that the government was reviewing the possibility of lowering oil production, but still wasn't sure whether such a move would be feasible.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A drilling company says a worker killed in an offshore explosion was cleaning a piece of equipment during routine maintenance at its oil-and-gas platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
Houston-based Fieldwood Energy LLC says another worker suffered "visible injury" and two other workers reported ringing in their ears. The company says the three injured workers have been released from the hospital.
Fieldwood says the worker who was killed Thursday was cleaning a piece of equipment that separates oil from water liquids when an "isolated pressure event" occurred. The company says the victim was employed by the Louisiana company Turnkey Cleaning Services, which specializes in cleaning offshore facilities.
The explosion happened on the Echo Platform, which is about 12 miles offshore near the mouth of the Mississippi River.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Dow Chemical Co. says it will add four new members to its board of directors after pressure from hedge fund activist Daniel Loeb's Third Point.
Shares of the specialty chemicals maker rose 2.6 percent to $52.82 in morning trading Friday.
The new additions are Mark Loughridge, Raymond Milchovich, Robert Miller, who will join the board in January. Richard Davis will join in May.
Dow has also agreed to include the group in its nominees for election at the 2015 annual meeting nominate.
In January, Third Point disclosed that it bought a stake in Dow, but did not disclose how many shares it bought. Third Point says Dow is its biggest investment.
As recently as last week, Third Point published a website and video pushing Dow to shake up its board and increase shareholder value.

Public money out of reach
|| Print |
|High Five
|Wednesday, January 13, 2010
City commissioner candidates have until Jan. 29 to qualify for $150,000 in public campaign financing, but so far, none of them are on track to meet the requirements.
Each of the candidates needs 1,000 signatures and matching $5 donations from registered Portland voters in order to qualify for the financing.
That's a big contrast to 2008, when six candidates, five of them seeking an open seat, qualified for funding in the May primary. Two then qualified for funding in the November general election, for a total cost to taxpayers of $1.2 million. But a gathering last Friday night of four Saltzman challengers seeking public campaign financing shows Commissioner Amanda Fritz that the setup remains a success. Fritz is the first and only city commissioner to win election with public funding, in 2008.
"To me it's working because it's available," Fritz says. "Citizens have a realistic chance of running for City Council and winning."

My mother had eyes in the back of her head. I'm sure of it. When she was in one room and we children were in another, she knew exactly what we were doing.
It wasn't until years later that I understood there are different kinds of sight, that we "see" in many ways.
Physical sight, obviously, is a most precious gift which we should never take for granted. As a junior in high school, I went on our school's annual spring trip to Washington, D.C. The Japanese cherry trees were in bloom, and surely there is no place in the world more beautiful than our nation's capital in the springtime. It's a fairyland of soft color and fragrance.
The day our group was there, a blind person was seated on the second step. Instead of the customary cup, he had a sign that said, "It's springtime, and I'm blind." Since that day, every time I am aware of beauty in the physical world, I give thanks for the gift of physical sight.
In addition, there is mental sight. Do you recall a mathematical equation that you did not understand? When someone explained it to you, you said, "I see."
Of course, physical and mental sight are marvelous, but an even greater gift is the gift of seeing with our hearts. In the Bible, the word "heart" includes comprehension, discernment, wisdom, insight, vision and perception. Our "heart eyes" are given us to see what God sees.
In his book, "Congratulations, God Believes in You!", Lloyd Ogilvie tells of a woman who said to him: "How I wish that my husband could see the real me. He looks right past me." I couldn't help wondering how universal that cry is — and not just from wives.
Perhaps the greatest gift of sight is the ability to envision. This is the kind of vision that led a small boy named Abraham Lincoln from a log cabin in Illinois to the presidency of a great nation. Imagine what can happen if we can envision what God envisions for us, our homes, our churches, our world, then set out to make those dreams a reality. Let's try it.

About Lynn Ronchetto
Twenty five years have passed since I first visted St. John on my honeymoon. Having spent only four hours on the island and experiencing its tranquility and beauty, I vowed that someday I would come back to live permanently. After the many twists and turns of everyday life, I moved to New York City fourteen years ago to work as a Hospital Administrator. I look forward to every visit to just relax, unwind and regain the minutes of time that we don't have time to appreciate during hectic daily life.
Lynn Ronchetto purchased this villa in 2012
Why Lynn Ronchetto chose Boatman Point
The properties' former owners spent many hours personally designing, building and managing the villa, creating such a welcoming atmosphere that their former guests have returned year after year to enjoy the magical beauty of St. John.
What makes this villa unique
The villa is very private yet the location is close to town and the Westin for enjoying the dining and nightlife. The sounds of the surf and views are incredible making cocktail hour, dining or just relaxing in the hot tub a wonderful experience.

World Bulletin/News Desk
Researchers have found evidence suggesting that the United States may have developed three previously unknown computer viruses for use in espionage operations or cyber warfare.
The findings are likely to bolster a growing view that the U.S. government is using cyber technology more widely than previously believed to further its interests in the Middle East. The United States has already been linked to the Stuxnet Trojan that attacked Iran's nuclear program in 2010 and the sophisticated Flame cyber surveillance tool that was uncovered in May.
Anti-virus software makers Symantec Corp of the United States and Kaspersky Lab of Russia disclosed on Monday that they have found evidence that Flame's operators may have also worked with three other viruses that have yet to be discovered.
The two security firms, which conducted their analyses separately, declined to comment on who was behind Flame. But current and former Western national security officials have told Reuters that the United States played a role in creating Flame. The Washington Post has reported that Israel was also involved.
Current and former U.S. government sources also told Reuters that the United States was behind Stuxnet. Kaspersky and Symantec linked Stuxnet to Flame in June, saying that part of the Flame program is nearly identical to code found in a 2009 version of Stuxnet.
For now, the two firms know very little about the newly identified viruses, except that one of them is currently deployed in the Middle East. They are not sure what the malicious software was designed to do. "It could be anything," said Costin Raiu, director of Kaspersky Lab's Global Research and Analysis Team.
Kaspersky and Symantec released their findings in reports describing analysis of "command and control" servers used to communicate with and control computers infected with Flame.
Researchers from both firms said the Flame operation was managed using a piece of software named "Newsforyou" that was built by a team of four software developers starting in 2006.
It was designed to look like a common program for managing content on websites, which was likely done in a bid to disguise its real purpose from hosting providers or investigators so that the operation would not be compromised, Kaspersky said in its report.
Newsforyou handled four types of malicious software: Flame and programs code-named SP, SPE and IP, according to both firms. Neither firm has obtained samples of the other three pieces of malware.
Kaspersky Lab said it believes that SP, SPE and IP were espionage or sabotage tools separate from Flame. Symantec said it was not sure if they were simply variations of Flame or completely different pieces of software.
"We know that it is definitely out there. We just can't figure out a way to actually get our hands on it. We are trying," Symantec researcher Vikram Thakur said in an interview.
About a dozen computers in Iran and Lebanon that are infected with one of the newly identified pieces of malware are trying to communicate with command and control servers, according to Kaspersky Lab.
The researchers found a large cache of data on one of the command and control servers, but cannot analyze it because it is encrypted using a password that they said would be virtually impossible to crack.
They believe that it was encrypted so heavily because the people coordinating the attack did not want the workers using the Newsforyou program to be able to read potentially sensitive information.
"This approach to uploading packages and downloading data fits the profile of military and/or intelligence operations," Symantec said in its report.

For the price, this item was fine. It arrived in good condition; stands straight and hold my necklaces very well. For me, it could have been about an inch or two taller because I tend to wear longer necklaces sometimes. But over all I was happy with it. From the reviews I had seen I was wondering if I'd have to send it back. No, it's fine for the price.

What you think you are getting is a beautiful copper-colored jewelry stand which has a rose in the middle with beautiful details. What you eventually get is a cheap looking jewelry holder which doesn't even stand, that has a rusty center and missing pieces.Be careful not to cut yourself with this, or you might have to get a new tet shot. :/

This is a run of the mill necklace holder, ie there isn't much to it. A word of caution is that the edges are EXTREMELY sharp and will slice a finger open post haste. No little hands please, they should at the minimum have some type of protective wrapping and a brief warning about how sharp the leaves and flowers are. BE CARFEUL

Allstate agents vote 'yes' to unionizing
by MBJ Staff
Published: August 18,2011
Tags: insurance, labor unions, unions, workers
GULFPORT — Members of the National Association of Professional Allstate Agents (NAPAA) have voted to affiliate with the Office and Professional Employees International Union (OPEIU), AFL-CI, according to the union.
Secret ballots were mailed to all 1,200 members of Gulfport-based NAPAA and when the ballots were tallied, more than 94 percent had voted in favor of affiliating, the OPEIU reports.
"Our members have sent a message and we hear them loud and clear," said Jim Fish, NAPAA executive director. "Now we will work closely with OPEIU to finalize an affiliation agreement that establishes NAPAA as a guild."
The NAPAA board of directors is expected to meet in the near future to formally approve the affiliation. Once the agreement is approved, NAPAA members will be granted membership in OPEIU, the national AFL-CIO and all State Federations of Labor.

Are you kidding? As much as Insurance Cos. are hated, and especially in Mississippi? Most of AllStates offices will close and agents will be at the unemployment line.

I am 100% against unions. I have Allstate insurance on my cars, my house and a small life life policy. When I heard of this vote I started doing research and will be moving all of my insurance away from Allstate!!!

Your AgentA successful purchase starts with the right representative. In fact, once you've selected the best agent to represent you, it is likely that he or she can recommend other professionals to join your team, taking more of the responsibility off of your shoulders.
Lender (Appraiser)A bank is not just a bank. Having the right backer can be extremely important – it is your money we're talking about after all! Make sure that your lender and financial representative is someone with whom you feel comfortable, and be wary of any lender who promises you more than you think you can reasonably afford. Your lenders may or may not require an independent appraisal, and typically will make arrangements for the appraisal themselves.
LawyerYour home purchase is far too important a transaction to skimp on legal representation at the risk of leaving yourself open to costly future issues. Find a lawyer who is willing to take the time to answer your questions and who specializes in real estate law.
Home InspectorNo home inspection is 100% guaranteed, but a few hundred dollars to catch a major problem now is certainly better than many thousands to correct that 'surprise' down the road. Ask your agent for a recommendation.
ContractorPlanning some renovations? You're not the only one! The home renovation industry is booming, and in some markets, booking a contractor must be done months in advance (that's a long time to go without a kitchen). Don't let finding the right contractor slip through the cracks – planning ahead will almost certainly make your renovation smoother, and you contractor will appreciate the advance notice.
1. Find the right representativeEven if you're not quite ready to buy, your buyer's agent can be an absolute wealth of information, and can often offer 'scoops' on local developments you might not have know about otherwise. Speak to your agent first and he or she can be helping to guide you right from the start.
2. Find out what your price range isOnline mortgage calculators are a good place to start, but as you get closer to being ready to buy, there is no substitute for a written mortgage pre-approval. Just speaking to your lender is an extremely worthwhile venture – this is the only way to really get an in-depth picture of your overall financial picture and to discover exactly what you can reasonably afford to spend on a home (and possibly on renovating).
3. Find out what your local market looks likeThe internet can be incredibly valuable in doing preparatory research. Start with your agent – he or she can direct you to valuable resources and immediately start e-mailing you real estate listings that may interest you (or at least give you a better idea of what your needs and wants are).
4. Find out what your true needs and wants areCompose a needs/wants list that takes into consideration your local market conditions, your price range, and the advice of your real estate agent.
5. Find your dream home!Once you're ready to act, you may be surprised by how quickly you can make a decision. Armed with your pre-approval, a little market knowledge, and your needs/wants list, call your real estate agent, hit the pavement, and when you see 'the house', put in an offer.
With the right team behind you, it really can be that easy!

There is even an adorable matching hat with a red rose applique, as well. Another favorite of mine is the Rainbow Confections Apron.
