NFL Q&A with Allen and The Ace is a weekly Wednesday column featured on TJRsports.com. Allen and The Ace are big time NFL junkies and are Falcon and Packer fans, respectively. Each week the guys will ask questions and TJRsports.com editor-in-chief, John Canton will also ask a question for both guys.
You can follow Allen on Twitter @Allen_Strk and The Ace @TheAce18.
Ace: That's it. The 2012 NFL Season has come to a close. On the bright side, it's 178 Days until the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio to kick of the 2013 NFL Preseason! If you're a big time sports fan, there's no need to worry. You've got pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training for Major League Baseball in just a couple weeks. The NFL Combine is at the end of February. For you hoops fans NCAA Basketball gears up for a fantastic time of the year as the conference tournaments and NCAA Tournament of 68 begins in Mid-March. Major League Baseball opens up in the beginning of April and then the NHL and NBA begin their playoffs. The NFL Draft is in April and before you know it, we'll start previewing the NFL's Divisions and drafting our fantasy football teams and then talking about the opening night game that the Baltimore Ravens will host. Whew! It's a bittersweet time of the year, the season has ended and we saw a fun game.
My thoughts on the game are as follows. I expected Baltimore to win this game, but I didn't expect them to run out to such a commanding lead. After the kick return for a touchdown to start the second half, I thought all the momentum was on their side and they would continue to blow the game out of the water. Then the lights went out. San Francisco took advantage of the odd 34 minute delay to rest, stretch and game plan. They got it close but looking at San Francisco's final drive I thought to myself, 'You rode Kapernick and Gore through the playoffs, why would you not at least try to expose the Ravens Haloti Gnata-less defensive line.' When it comes down to it I'm glad there was a no-call on the 4th down play. There was only one pass interference call in the entire game, so the officials were letting them play. It was a fun game to watch. It just gets me excited for next season when we can talk about our two favorite teams and hopefully them reaching this plateau next season.
Allen: NCAA College basketball is fantastic and will keep me happy. Also I'm possibly going to the NFL draft this year, which should be fun even though I watched zero minutes of college football this season. I'm not a fan of how the system is structured so I refuse to watch it.
The Super Bowl in itself was enjoyable. It was nice to see San Francisco make it a game and see Kaepernick shut up the critics. He's a star and he'll always be far better than Alex Smith. The play calling was questionable in the red zone and they paid for it. How they didn't try to run it with Gore is beyond me. No wonder Frank Gore said in an interview that the Ravens got away with one. I agree with that because the 49ers looked capable of pulling the comeback off. Instead, a poor first half with no pass rush and miscommunication on both sides of the field cost them. As for the lights out, what can I say other than New Orleans continues to be a laughingstock in the NFL. It was an odd Super Bowl but overall the team that made big plays all four quarters rightfully won.
Ace: After facing another large deficit at halftime, the 49ers kept Colin Kaepernick in at quarterback during the Super Bowl. During the blackout, the CBS team was all but saying that they should possibly try to put Alex Smith in. We saw that Kaepernick brought them back into the game late.
Would you have stuck with Kaepernick after he was pretty ineffective during the first half?
Allen: I'm going to make this short because this is an easy answer. I'm very passionate with football and when I see a star, I'll always stick by him especially when comparing him with an average player. Colin Kaepernick is a star and he's going to be a great player for years to come. Alex Smith is nothing more than a game manager, who benefited from talent around him. Kaepernick can make plays with his arm and legs, while Smith needs all the support he can get. It was the right move to keep in Kaepernick, especially after his performance against Atlanta. Smith would have offered little to nothing and it would have ended in a blowout. If anyone thinks Kaepernick should have been benched, then you clearly haven't watch the 49ers in these past two months. This is his team now and he has proved it week after week.
Allen: After the last two games in the playoffs, do you think the 49ers defense particularly the secondary has lost their edge? They were torched against Atlanta, which isn't surprising but then by Baltimore.
The pass rush needs improvement as well, but do you put the blame on the secondary for their failures? Also could you see them joining in the Darelle Revis sweepstakes?
Ace: They have a tremendous front four and linebackers, but yes I do think that the 49ers will address their defensive backs in the offseason. I could see Darelle Revis be a potential candidate to fill the holes there. I'm sure Jim Harbaugh would love to have a guy like Revis back there for the next 5+ years as this team is in their prime. Another name that could possibly fill a hole is Charles Woodson of the Packers. He's a free agent after this season and unless he decides to take a huge pay cut from the team that resurrected his career, the 49ers could pay him in a return to the bay area, but in different colors. Justin Smith hasn't been the same since he was injured against the Patriots and when Justin Smith isn't at 100%, Aldon Smith is ineffective. We saw that through much of the playoffs and the Super Bowl as well. I don't think the 49ers should panic with their front seven, but they need to look at improving their secondary.
Allen: The secret about the 49ers that some people don't recognize is that the safeties are vastly overrated. Donte Whitner has allowed ten touchdowns this season and always tends to leave his cornerbacks to dry in single coverage rather than give them proper support when receivers run deep routes. Whitner had a poor game in the Super Bowl along with Dashon Goldson. Just because you see that two safeties made the Pro Bowl, it doesn't mean that they are actually good. Both safeties are overrated and should take some of the blame, not just Chris Cullvier. They could make a move for Revis, but I'm not sure if the front office will be that aggressive. It certainly would make that defense instantly the best defense in the league, if it's not the best already. I could see the move happening, but it falls on if the 49ers are willing to give up around three to four draft picks.
Ace: There will be several quarterbacks changing homes in the offseason. Alex Smith, Tim Tebow, Matt Flynn and possibly Michael Vick will be changing area codes.
Where do you see these four ending up?
Allen: It's rare that few teams need quarterbacks, but this is the year where you don't see many teams in need of an quarterback. The most confident prediction I can make is Matt Flynn to the Jets because of the Jets new general manager coming from Seattle. It just flows right and I could see the Jets being able to do that. As for Michael Vick, I'm going to say he stays with the Eagles. It may be a surprise, but Chip Kelly will find a way to use him. Also I don't think any team will bring in Vick because he doesn't have anything left to offer as a starter. At this point, he'll be a decoy for possible read option plays. Tim Tebow won't be signed this season and he'll possibly be out of the league forever. The feeling I'm getting is many people are sick of him around and don't see any reason in bothering to bring him. Jacksonville was the only legitimate place, but they already announced that they have no interest. Alex Smith is tough to judge, but I'm going on a limb to say he ends up in Arizona. It could very well be wrong, but I could see them bring in Smith to compete with Kolb.
Allen: The Ravens have a lot of questions going into free agency and have a possible overhaul ahead of themselves.
Does Ed Reed return to the Ravens next season?
Ace: If he does, he'll give the Ravens a discount on his contract. I think that locking up Joe Flacco is priority #1 for the team. Offensively, I think they're in good shape, but with Lewis retiring and Reed possibly leaving, they'll need to address the secondary in the draft and free agency. If I was gambling on this, I would say Reed is 60/40 in favor of returning to the Ravens, but he's already talked about how he would love to play on a Bill Belichick coached team. I would flat out hate that move just because Reed has been one of my favorite players in the NFL, heck he's been one of my favorite players since his days at Miami. I would say 60/40, but my gut is saying that he'll want to explore his options in free agency.
Allen: I'm pretty confident that Reed will return. He always seems to be one of the players that is just a Ravens player for life and is proud to represent the franchise. I couldn't see him wear another team's jersey, along with being content on taking the leadership role in Baltimore and helping the team repeat as champions. Also I'm not sure if many teams would be interested in him mainly because he had a poor season. Reed is getting up there in age and his play is declining, but he's still a great presence to have on the team. I'll be shocked to see him demmand for a major contract, he is intelligent enough to know where he stands in terms of value at his age.
Here is this week's question from TJRsports.com Editor-in-chief, John Canton. Follow John on Twitter at @johnreport and @TJRsports.
What are the three biggest needs of your favorite teams?
Allen: The Atlanta Falcons. They basically have two major needs right now and if they are addressed properly, they'll be in the Super Bowl next season. Defensive end has seemed to be a need ever since 2008. It seems like a never ending saga with the Falcons due to under performing free agent signings and young players not developing into starters. With John Abraham turning 35 and Kroy Biermann not capable of being a full time starter at defensive end, the Falcons seriously need to bring a complete defensive end that is ready to play for most of the game. The running game needs to be obviously addressed with Michael Turner being released. I'll always love Turner and thank him for 4 great seasons, but his time is up. If they can draft a power back to align with Jacquizz Rodgers and Jason Snelling, they could become even more unstoppable. If there is a third need to come up with, they could use a right guard since Todd McClure could possibly be finished and Peter Konz will move to center. The third need is a toss up, but a defensive end and running back are severe needs for the Falcons to get to the Super Bowl.
Ace: The Green Bay Packers. The biggest glaring need is their linebackers core. They were riddled by injuries this past season, Desmond Bishop and Nick Perry both went down, it will be nice to have them back, but they need to address their interior linebackers because AJ Hawk isn't cutting it. Their next position of need was their most injured all season long, the offensive line. The Packers have to realize that Aaron Rodgers is their franchise and if they're going to lock him up to a big time deal in his prime, they need him to be upright and not the most sacked quarterback in the NFL. Finally, they need a solid running back. I would hang on to Dujuan Harris and let the rest go. They need to pick up someone along the lines of Steven Jackson in free agency and draft someone in April like Montee Ball. They need to be more of a threat instead of a one dimensional pass first team. When they can run the ball, they're even more dangerous. Look at the 2010 playoffs with James Starks. If they can address those needs, they'll be towards the top of the NFC in 2013.
Allen: Well it has been a blast, but I'm pretty happy that the season is over. I'll always love football, but eventually you need a break from it. Many of you are hardcore fans and you put a lot of emotion into every week of football watching your favorite team. I know I did and I was fortunate enough to watch my team play till late January. It was a great season and it will always be memorable to me. Sure it has some bad points with the replacement refs and some sad deaths, but the unpredictability and how there wasn't ever a true dominant team made this year so enjoyable.
Ace: Well buddy, it's been fun doing this with you and I'm looking forward to when we will regularly do this column again, my guess is sometime in July or so, but until then we'll try to check in once a month to talk about Free Agency, the Draft and other Moves. Our next Article will be up on Tuesday, March 19th, a week after Free Agency is opened. From then on we'll check in right around the middle of the month until about July when we start doing our NFL Previews. You can still check out Macho Men Radio. Tuesday night C-Mac and I wrapped up the NFL Season. The radio show will still be a weekly bit, be sure to podcast and listen to us all offseason long. Thank you for reading all season long and we'll see you in a month!

Pete Rose to sign autographs at Caller-Times' Best of the Best Showcase
CORPUS CHRISTI - "Charlie Hustle" is coming to Corpus Christi.
All-time Major League Baseball hits leader Pete Rose will appear at the Caller-Times Best of the Best Showcase on Sept. 22 at the American Bank Center. Rose will sign 8-by-11 Best of the Best photographs provided by the Caller-Times. He will not sign any other sports memorabilia items.
"We are very grateful that Pete Rose will be at our Best of the Best Showcase this year," said Steve Arnold, Caller-Times vice president of marketing. "Pete is well-known in the sports world. He's never been to Corpus Christi before and is excited to come here and meet some of the great baseball fans."
Nicknamed "Charlie Hustle" by New York Yankees Hall of Fame pitcher Whitey Ford, the switch-hitting Rose holds 15 other Major-League records besides the 4,256 hits he collected from 1963-1986. Among the standards he set were most consecutive seasons with 100 or more hits (23), most games played (3,562) and most career at-bats (14,053). He also holds four switch-hitting records and shares the mark for most seasons of 200 or more hits (10) with Ichiro Suzuki.
Rose was a 17-time All-Star at five positions. He became a polarizing figure in the sport when in 1989, three years after his retirement, he agreed to a permanent ban from baseball amid accusations he gambled on games while playing and managing the Cincinnati Reds.
In 1991 the Baseball Hall of Fame voted to ban permanently ineligible players from the list of hall candidates. A previous lock for induction, Rose denied the gambling charges. But in his 2004 autobiography, "My Prison Without Bars," Rose admitted to betting on Reds' games, but not against the team. His reinstatement and likely induction into the hall remains a heated topic among baseball fans and officials.
Admission to the Best of the Best Showcase is free. More than 100 local businesses will participate and there will be more the $15,000 in prizes given away, along with food samples.
The showcase is in its 16th year. For a schedule of events, see the Sept. 20 edition of the Caller-Times for the Best of the Best Showcase special section.

The 14th Annual Summer Conference on Innovative Pedagogy & Course Redesign
"Collaborations for Empowerment & Learning" | May 29, 2015
This one-day conference will be held on May 29, 2015 at Fairfield University in partnership with the New England Faculty Development Consortium (NEFDC) and Fairfield University's Center for Academic Excellence (CAE). This year's featured keynote presentater will be Dr. Katie Novak.
For more information, please visit the CAE's conference website or download pdf flyer here.
The Journal for Invitational Theory and Practice (JITP) (ISSN-1060-6041) publishes once a year and promotes the tenets of invitational theory and practice, self-concept theory, and perceptual psychology. First published in 1992, it is currently indexed in the ERIC and EBSCO databases. The JITP seeks to publish articles under two priorities. First, manuscripts are encouraged that examine and expand the theory of invitational learning and development, investigate the efficacy of invitational practices, and relate these beliefs and findings to other theories of human development and behavior. Second, manuscripts are considered without directly relating their discussion/findings to ITP if their focus is on theories which are compatible with ITP. The JITP accepts articles for submission year round; however the submission deadline for each issue is July 1 of each year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by nikki287 Above and beyond my expections Recently my daughter and I stayed at the Seattle Sheraton for her 16th Birthday. The hotel is in the heart of Seattle and has beautiful views of the city. The room was large and the bed was so comfortable I didn't want to leave. We had went out for dinner and when we came back the hotel had left a yummy dessert for my daughter with happy birthday written in chocolate. We were so thrilled. Thank you Sheraton for making our stay in Seattle so wonderful. October 1, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Vale44 Vale44 The hotel was in exquisite condition and the staff was friendly. We had the best view of city lights at night. We were within walking distance of a lot of main attractions, and walking distance to lite rail, buses, and monorail. The concierge staff was extremely helpful. I just wish there was a hot tub at the end of the long days. September 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by mountainbased great hotel, but aging tower I love this hotel: beds, fitness center, bar, location, etc. This was my 25th stay at the hotel and they brought me a lovely tray of chocolate covered strawberries - delicious! However, the old tower is going to require some work soon - seemed to be some kind of leak when I got there- fans blowing all through the hallways to dry it back out, sink was clogged and therefore kinda nasty, water knobs seemed to be reversed...Hopefully, they will get these things under cotrol before they get out of hand!

Get back that night and room services takes over two hours to be delivered. If you know it's a busy weekend ramp up your stay to properly accommodate guests spending close to $400 a night for a room. Poor management. September 17, 2013

The Sheraton Seattle Hotel is an outstanding establishment with superior customer service beginning with the doorman, who was very eager to assist us, all the way to the front desk personnel who paid close attention to our conversation and offered suggestions when appropriate.. All of the hotel staff were outstanding and very customer oriented. I highly recommend staying here and I too will be a repeat customer. September 12, 2013

Rated 3 out of 5 by TravelingFromBoston Comfy Bed Location to the convention center is ideal but so are other hotels. Apart from the friendly staff (minus the Concierge who wasn't so friendly) I had a pleasant stay. If I were to choose whether to come to this hotel or the ones down the street, I would probably go else where. September 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by DavePaxPrime2013 Outstanding Hotel - PAX Prime Attendee In addition to being close to everything, this hotel went above my expectations for the time I was there. The staff was on point at every turn, and this was despite the fact that it was full of convention attendees. At any time I would've expected a lull in service due to the sheer amount of people there, the staff overturned that expectation rapidly. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. September 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Matt1286 Convenient location In-town for 24 hours after a wedding in Port Gamble, the room was conveniently located to many features and sites downtown. Leaving the city early on a weekday, the hotel is a quick walk (and undercover which was helpful due to the unexpected rain) to the train which quickly takes you directly to the airport for just $2.75. Convenience and comfort quickly make-up for any possible additional cost if you are on the fence. September 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by lcb1 Great location The hotel location makes it easy for those in business trips to get to restaurants and main business in town. It is spacious and comfortable and will be even better when it goes though some modernization/renewal. September 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by erin1 Family Get Away This hotel was ideal for meeting friends who were also travelling with their families. Pool is awesome, rooms are great. I recommend upgrading to the "club floor" perfect for breakfast with the kids ;) Hotel was super clean and staff were extremely helpful and accommodating! My only negative is the $46 for parking - bit extreme. August 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristi6 very nice hotel I enjoyed my stay very much. Room ws very relaxing and I love the ammenities August 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by SleeplessinSeattle21 Construction lies I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights/5days. The first morning at 8am I was greeted to the banging of construction. I called guest services and was told it was from the street. The second morning (Friday) I was woken up by the same sound. After a long weekend of walking around the building, I noticed there was no construction on the street and that it was one of their tenants moving in. I heard nothing till Monday when I was woken up by a jack hammer at 8am. At this point I called guest services and told them they had lied about the construction and it was their tenant. After speaking to the manager, they gave me a discount and a late check out. If I had known there was construction on my side of the building I would have asked to be moved the first night. Instead I lost sleep 3 nights out of the 5 I was there. This was extremely rude. August 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by bmwashb Seattle 8/2013 The staff was very professional and answered all of our questions completely. It made the trip all that much better, to get good information as soon as we got into town. August 27, 2013

- High-fiber foods, such as bran, whole grains, nuts, and raw green vegetables.
In some people, iron supplements can cause stomach discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and black stool. Iron is best absorbed if taken on an empty stomach. But if you are having stomach problems, you may need to take the pills with food. If the side effects of your iron pills make you feel too sick, talk to your doctor. He or she may know of another type of iron pill you can take.
If you think you have anemia, do not take iron pills without talking with your doctor. If the iron loss is from intestinal bleeding, taking iron pills may delay the diagnosis of a serious problem such as a bleeding ulcer or colon cancer. If the anemia is not due to iron deficiency, taking iron pills will not relieve the anemia and may cause poisoning (iron toxicity) or iron overload (hemochromatosis).
Keep iron tablets out of the reach of small children. Iron poisoning can be very dangerous.
Preventing iron deficiency
You can prevent anemia in babies and children by following recommendations for feeding infants and by making sure babies and children get enough iron.
If you are pregnant, your doctor will test your iron level at your first prenatal visit, and he or she will give you prenatal vitamins that include iron (30 mg a day). If you are anemic, your doctor will give you a higher-dose pill to take.

Berdych Tweeting Up A Storm
Madrid, Spain
by Kate Flory|
One bored tennis player can make for quality tweeting. Since joining the Twitterverse 11 months ago, Tomas Berdych has shown fans a whole new side to his personality and the Czech's popularity has earned him 85,000 followers.
ATPWorldTour.com caught up with Berdych at this week's Mutua Madrid Open to discuss his one-year anniversary and his Top 5 Twitter Rankings.
Follow Berdych On Twitter
How did you get started on Twitter?
It's been nearly a year. I remember it was when I had lost in Paris, was home, quite bored and looking for something to do. Yes, let's bring up a nice one-year anniversary.
It's a way to try and show people something else, besides the tennis. All they can see is me on the tennis court, hitting the ball, and I can see it's quite boring. We have a life outside of tennis and I want to share it with them.
Any special plans for the one-year anniversary?
I better start thinking about it. Honestly, the best tweets are the spontaneous ones. I might prepare something, but will make fun of it.
http://t.co/IyLWSYZ2QP #verona #romeoandjuliet pic.twitter.com/6KrieXKlqY
— Tomáš Berdych (@tomasberdych) April 2, 2014
Tell us about your comic-strip tweets.
I use an app [for the cartoons]; it's very simple. You get the picture and have two or three screens when you can add the speech bubbles or captions to make it like a comic. I like it quite a lot. I always try to bring up something different.
Who do you like to follow on Twitter?
I try to read all my feed to catch up on the news. I really like Brad Gilbert, especially, with those comments. I think it's really interesting for the fans. When you have a former player commenting on what's going on in tennis, I think that's best. It's really nice and interesting information.
Rank the Top 5 ATP World Tour players on Twitter.
I can't rank myself, but of course I'd be in there. Let me think…
1. Ivo Karlovic - very funny, he can do really good tweets too.
2. John Isner - he's more American college, basketball-stuff, but let's put him there.
3. Roger Federer – very classy.
4. Stanislas Wawrinka
5. Sergiy Stakhovsky

Motivated by an interest in technology and global health innovations, our SEID team worked with Sproxil to improve consumer utilization of their mobile technology service to combat drug counterfeiting in Nigeria. The technology allows consumers to authenticate their pharmaceutical purchase by texting an item-unique code to Sproxil for verification. Combating counterfeit drugs is a pressing global issue; a report by the International Policy Network estimated that fake tuberculosis and malaria drugs kill 700,000 people a year.
Nigeria recently experienced a series of bombings and a nationwide labor strike and, as a result of the instability, our team wasn't able to travel to Nigeria as planned. We still managed to speak with local NGOs and government officials and interact directly with in-country project managers for multinational drug companies and their sales staff members. These conversations helped us better understand drug distribution channels and the information needs of consumers.
We determined that both consumers and stakeholders, including pharmacists, sales reps and community groups, need to be better informed about the risks of counterfeit drugs and the benefits of Sproxil. Our recommendation included a range of education efforts spanning print ads, radio dramas, street theater, as well as the creation of a pharmacy industry interest group and the integration of other innovative global health platforms.

Bronte Brochure
Bronte Country Estate brochure
SHORELINE LUXURY Welcome Bronte Country Estate has been at the heart of my family for five generations. The estate lies on the headland of Nelson's historic Bronte Peninsula, overlooking Waimea Estuary and cradled between ocean and mountains under a clear, sun-filled sky.

You can't help but unwind as estuarine tides lap the shore, where wading birds feed in the shallows. The perfume from our extensive rose gardens is simply divine. Stroll through our parkland of established trees, be pampered, sip a local wine, and your serenity is complete. We look forward to sharing our beautiful waterfront sanctuary with you soon!

Where else can you visit rivers and lakes so clear that large brown trout can be easily spotted from the water's edge? Where native bush robins are so friendly they hop onto your boots? Where the sea is that stunning bluey-green you only see in travel posters? That's Nelson. And Nelson is home to a diverse array of artists, artisans and craftspeople; potters and painters; glassblowers - watch as they tease a delicate vase into life. Vineyards are close by for the wine lover's pilgrimage; taste mouthwatering smoked salmon and fresh local seafood. The more adventurous can hire a kayak or take a nature trail, exploring the pristine wilderness of the Abel Tasman National Park. There are many award-winning restaurants and wineries, country cafes and vineyard eateries nearby. Hop on a bike from Bronte and visit local artists at work, or a self-drive tour can be arranged for you. These are the memories of Nelson you will savour and that will prompt you to return here again and again. Bronte Country Estate is the perfect place to stay while you enjoy these wonderful attractions all around you.

Kids, gather 'round!
Grab your gloves!
Tell your friends!
The New York Mets public relations department has put together an unbelievable package for anyone looking to meet their favorite players!
Just check it out!

- Ruben Gotay
- Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez
- Ryan Church

Make sure you get there early, as a stiff breeze might come by and prevent these guys from signing autographs. However, also be sure to stay late, as there is bound to be more Mets coming in after today's game.
Those players should stop using the bottle labelled "Alou's hand sanitizer"
Yeah, I hear that the Mets are trying to trade for Xavier Nady. He can fill in for the injured in the outfield and at first base. He would also give the Mets some right handed pop in the lineup.
I put a link to your blog on my website, hope that's okay.
moises alou is so old, jesus christ, was his effing camp counselor.

for the record, I have the repackaged version of this scrub - not sure if the product's also been reformulated so if you had success with the old version maybe exercise some caution when buying the new one.
some background on me, my skin's kinda sensitive, acne-prone but mostly hormone-induced. when I break out in lots of big painful spots it's invariably because of the introduction of a new product to my skincare routine. it doesn't happen often, but when it does, I know it's because of a new product because it happens so infrequently.
I've used other simple products in the past, specifically their foaming cleanser and two different kinds of face wipes with fine reactions. they didn't do anything special for me nor did they cause my skin to develop anything new. I'm currently far away from home and normally use baking soda to exfoliate (grains much finer and denser and have a much bigger impact - you can use it a lot less frequently and get good results! just be sure to moisturize afterwards) but it's hard to package and use when traveling so I figured I could pick up a prepackaged exfoliant from a line of products I felt I had no reason not to trust. big mistake!
first of all, this stuff has mineral oil as the second ingredient. mineral oil on its own supposedly can't clog pores, but it does create a barrier between your skin and external contaminants, effectively trapping whatever you've left on your skin before applying the mineral oil, and/or trapping whatever your skin releases, ie sebum. the fact that this product caused a pretty massive breakout on my chin and around my mouth could simply be due to the fact that that part of my face is generally fairly oily and the mineral oil wasn't allowing my pores to release any sebum overnight. perhaps I'm sensitive to other ingredients in the scrub. either way, when I wash my face, I first clean off my makeup with a cleansing oil, then follow with a foaming cleanser, then I exfoliate, meaning there's nothing else that could have contaminated my skin aside from this scrub and/or the natural oils on my face. also, for the record, I did not have any active acne at the time I started using this product.
I really love that simple doesn't test on animals or have animal-derived ingredients, but this stuff still did not agree with me. also - I can verify that this thing leaves a film on skin, I thought it was a cleanser I recently bought but I didn't use the scrub yesterday and there was no film! I'm pretty convinced the mineral oil in this is what did me in. this morning I woke up with major reduced redness on my chin...when I was using this stuff daily (the grains are big and sparse so it's gentle enough that daily use isn't an issue) my skin was just getting redder and sorer.
pros: little to none. the granules are so big and widely-spaced I noticed no evening of my skin after using this. maybe a little hydrating since the copious amounts of oil in this stuff trap moisture? also - I didn't think the odor was terribly offensive! I kinda liked it actually.
cons: caused a horrible breakout on my chin, nose, and cheeks; left a film on my skin after use

My skin is quite sensitive and most scrubs scare the living heck out of my poor sebaceous glands and beat them into painful submission.
Curiosity got the better of me, and I bought some.
The tube is fine, the smell is...hmmm. I think it's best describe as "We added "no smell please" chemicals to make you think that it has no smell. It's a bit like "New car smell". Sort of. Not the smell itself, but the idea of faking it.
(Seriously if I ever received or bought anything vaguely beauty-related and it actually smelled like "New Car Smell" I'd be running away from it faster than you can say "Ooooh it pongs!")
The scrubby bits are actually rice particles and it's fairly unoffensive with one caveat : this is not as gentle as you might expect. I use a little bit maybe once a week, and it doesn't break me out or leave me with raw skin. I have a feeling though that if I used it more frequently, I'd be in trouble.
Still, it's good enough to use as my secondary, and it's inexpensive.

This seemed like a good basic scrub. However, the rice granules seem kind of harsh after using one using different hydrogenated oil esters instead. Also, although fragrance free, I didn't care for the scent. This is definitely a step up from the Apricot scrub (though I would never want to scrub my face with apricot pits) but I found it a little aggrevating to my skin. My new love is the Neutrogena naturals scurb since I definitely do need to exfoliate for fresh skin. But I'm still searching for a HG!

This is a very gentle product, maybe even too gentle for my skin, but it's a nice scrub. My skin feels smooth, but hydrated, and it's gentle enough for me to use a few times a week, rather than once. I don't think I'll be repurchasing it because I prefer more exfoliating scrubs for my face, but it would be nice for someone with oily or sensitive skin.

I really do not care for this scrub. I use to only use a plain bar of Dove Soap for my face and body until I realized I wasn't cleaning my face properly. Then I went on to purchase this scrub & used this to wash my face only until I later on realized that you need to cleanse with a cream product first and then exfoliate to really clean the skin. I choose this because I have really sensitive, oily and acne-prone skin. I do like that this doesn't leave my face tight & dry but that it doesn't over moisturize as well. Those are the only good things I can say about it. Other than that this stuff doesn't spread well at all even if my face is soaking wet. I find myself having to put on massive amounts of this in random small areas of my face and neck just to get the product everywhere that's needed. After 2-3 months I have a little less than half the bottle left & haven't seen any brightening or even textured skin yet. I have moved onto the St. Ives Even and Bright scrub that is more natural in ingredients (this Simple scrub contains parabens) and after one week I saw that my face was actually more even textured & not as red. I really want to use this up so that I won't be wasting my money but as of right now it's just been collecting dust in my bathroom cabinet.

I think it depends on the individual.. I have combination skin it's oily and dry. After the first time using this product my skin instantly felt smooth and my skin looks more radiant and healthy, even the day after my skin still felt nice. The exfoliator wasn't rough and I didn't mind the smell at all. I will be buying this product again :)

first of all, I love the Simple skin care line. my skin is pretty sensitive and it's hard for me to find skin care products that don't break me out or dry my skin out more than it already is. After getting past the smell of this scrub I really liked it until it started to break me out. maybe better for people with not- so sensitive skin

While I do not like the geranium oil scent in this product, it is an effective scrub. I have used this on my face and neck and on my DH itchy, dry back and it works fine. Contains parabens. I like St. Ives Black head clearing Green tea scrub more than the Simple brand scrub as it has more scrubbies in it, and it smells better.

I bought this cleanser because I ran out of my Aveeno exfoliating face wash and I like to try new things. MISTAKE. This stuff stinks. I find myself holding my breath when I use it... It smells super chemical-y, like Windex. I also don't like the rice granules in it, they seem sharp and it can hurt to use it, even if I don't press hard. It doesn't dry my skin out too bad but it does have mineral oil as the second ingredient, plus some vegetable oil. I'm not surprised it breaks other people out. I think it works well enough, my face is nice and smooth, but the scent is awful and I will never buy this product again.

I bought this product to keep in the shower when I ran out of my Clean & Clear exfoliator. My review is full of positives but I'm not effusively thrilled about the product. I'd buy it again, but I'm a pretty fickle buyer and would more likely try something else first. (Which might work against me!)
This is a VERY non-irritating exfoliator. Great for daily or near-daily use in the shower on my face and chest. My skin is pretty sensitive, and I use a lot of products that can play poorly with exfoliators (glycolic acids, retinols). This didn't irritate me or break me out at all.
But it's also....not a very special experience. Maybe I'm looking for too much in a product, but the scentlessness makes it boring. Non-irritating but boring. It was also pretty cheap, about $6 at Publix. Packaging is a tube that stays closed - good. Also, the tube is translucent so you can tell when you're running out. I think Simple products are often on sale at CVS.

Determining motorcycle values
In my quest for an airhead I looked at a nice bike this weekend. Unfortunately we could not come together on a price. I went in with values for the bike based off of NADA and KBB values which didn't meet the sellers expectations.
I will say the bike was very nice and rode well. I gave it the highest value I could based on KBB and NADA and even a little more and was disappointed we could not come to agreement.
So, I know anything is worth what you are willing to pay for it, but how do the rest of you determine what a motorcycle is worth? Is KBB and NADA a reasonable source to determine what the value is, or are there other resources?
Thanks in advance.
I would not look at either of those books when coming up with what an old bike sells for. They are way off most time on real world values.
Best thing to do is look at ebay, craigslist, etc. to at least see what the asking prices are. Then come here to get some real world opinions on the value of the bike in question.
nailed it! ^^^^ especially with airheads.
And ebay is not always the best source. I have seen alot of people have friends run the price up on auctions. You can usually tell when you look at the bidding history and see new users or zero feedback bidders involved. Most times those bikes pop up repeatedly. Research is the best answer. I know nothing about airheads, so I asked just this weekend for input on a value. With Triumphs and BSAs I watch and look constantly, so I have more of a grasp what they should bring.
Time of year and location come into factor as well. If a buyer on ebay is local they will most likely pay $500 more for a bike they can drive and pick up. Shipping is a major price factor.

Recipe by California Walnut Board
"This simple chicken salad with California walnuts and guacamole makes a yummy lunch or easy dinner."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 (2 ounce)
full chicken breasts (can use precooked)
1 clove
1 cup
California Walnuts
1 small
3 stalks
plum tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
I agree with the other review---this dish is bland at best. I also skipped the walnuts but added some red pepper, hot sauce, spicy mustard, worcestershire sauce, and loads of fresh ground pepper. We ate it like guacamole with chips but it was still disappointing. Will not make this recipe again.
As written, pretty bland. I added hot sauce, garlic salt and served with salsa. Even at that, only okay, maybe 3 stars. Will not be making this again. Did not care for the walnuts; did not seem to really go with the salad.

I was a little worried by the reviews, but all of the ingredients worked for the cleanse I'm doing so I figured what the hell... Turned out to be pretty good! I sprinkled the chicken with dried garlic, salt, and pepper before cooking, excluded the tomatoes (due to cleanse), and served in romaine leaves. My boyfriend liked it too!

Local businessman, Buckley, 52, dies
People in the education field and those involved with city and county organizations will remember John J. Buckley for his talent with numbers and passion for community service.
Buckley, owner of Corpus Christi-based accounting firm Buckley & Associates, LLP, died Tuesday. He was 52.
The New Jersey native came to Corpus Christi in 1978 because of his work with the Internal Revenue Service. He joined the accounting firm of Ernst & Young in 1981 and became managing partner of the local office in 1990. He purchased the practice in 1991 and renamed it Buckley & Associates, LLP.
Buckley served on the board and as Audit Committee chairman of Tor Minerals International Inc. and the board for the Driscoll Children's Hospital Development Foundation. Buckley also served as administration chairman for the Regional Transportation Authority and treasurer of the Buccaneer Commission. He was a member of the American Bank Advisory Board.
"He was financially astute," said John Longoria, who served with Buckley on the transportation authority board. "He played an integral part in setting the RTA's pension plan and was an asset to the board as an adviser."
RTA board advisory member Roland Barrera met Buckley in 1999 and said that Buckley provided the RTA board with financial direction.
"His knowledge and leadership left a lasting impact on the board," Barrera said. "He gave selflessly of his time and knowledge to help this organization and many others throughout the community."
As president of the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Foundation from 2003 to 2005, Buckley saw significant growth in scholarship endowments, faculty chairs and support to outstanding faculty at the university. The foundation supports development opportunities at the university through the investment of endowed funds and private gifts.
In 2007, Buckley was named the G. Russell Kirkland Distinguished Visitor's chair in business administration at A&M-Corpus Christi. This honor recognized his service to the growth of the university and the development he fostered throughout the South Texas community. He served on the board of advisErs for the college of business.
Recently Buckley established the John J. Buckley Foundation to support programs and services throughout the community, including A&M-Corpus Christi.
"He was involved in all facets of the community," said businessman Dusty Durrill, a longtime friend. "He was a whiz when it came to looking at financial records and providing advice. I used him exclusively for all of my businesses."
He grew up in New Brunswick, N.J., graduated from St. Joseph's High School in 1973, and earned a Bachelor of Science in commerce from Rider University in 1977.
Survivors include his wife, Julie; five children, and a granddaughter.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 2 p.m. Friday at St. Pius Catholic Church, 5620 Gollihar Road.
Burial will be at Seaside Memorial Park.

Bama-LSU rivalry heats up on signing day
NEW YORK These days, the Alabama-LSU rivalry is revved-up year round.
The Tigers and Tide tussled for the top spot in the recruiting rankings Wednesday, with Nick Saban and 'Bama closing strong and even getting one Louisiana star to switch from purple and gold to crimson and white on signing day.
As if LSU fans needed another reason to seethe about Saban, the former Tigers coach who needed just two seasons in Tuscaloosa to wrest the SEC West away from Les Miles' team.
Alabama went 11-2 last season and played for the Southeastern Conference championship, while LSU disappointed and finished 8-5 the season after winning the national championship in 2007.
On signing day, LSU and Alabama went at it again.
Rivals.com and Allen Wallace of Scout.com and SuperPrep Magazine gave Alabama their top spots, both just ahead of LSU.
LSU was No. 1 in the Scouts, Inc./ESPN rankings, with Alabama second. Tom Lemming of CBS College Sports also had LSU on top, with 'Bama fifth.
Few coaches are as relentless as Saban and Miles when it comes to recruiting.
"They both have similar styles in that it's fight to the whistle," Bobby Burton of Rivals.com said. "Both of them really take it seriously from start to finish.
"They both need to keep each other at bay."
The next meeting on the field between the burgeoning rivals is Nov. 7 in Tuscaloosa.
The other schools vying for the top spot were mostly the usual suspects: Southern California, Texas and Ohio State.
Florida coach Urban Meyer didn't have many scholarships to hand out – most of his national championship team will be back next season – but what his class lacked in quantity it made up in quality.
One newcomer to the top-10: North Carolina, with coach Butch Davis. The Tar Heels haven't had this type of recruiting success since Mack Brown was in Chapel Hill in the late 1990s.
Coach Rich Rodriguez's first season at Michigan was a 3-9 debacle, but his first recruiting class drew top-10 rankings.
And one of the best running back prospects in the country decided NOT to sign a letter of intent on Wednesday. Bryce Brown of Wichita, Kan., who has given a verbal commitment to Miami, plans to mull his decision over for a few more weeks. Oregon and Kansas State are apparently still in the running.
LSU appeared to be on its way to being crowned the recruiting champion for 2009 early Wednesday, but several talented players who entered the day uncommitted picked Alabama and the Tide rose up the charts.
"We were able to attract maybe a half-dozen other players that weren't committed to us that were outstanding national recruits," Saban said. "During the thick of it, at the end with a bunch of national recruits, you're going to get your share. We felt like we got our share today."
The most notable was Dre Kirkpatrick, rated the No. 1 cornerback in the country by Rivals, who decided to stay close to his Gadsden, Ala., home and play for Saban.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Research on the spatial aspects of economic activity has flourished over the past decade due to the emergence of new theory, new data, and an intense interest on the part of policymakers, especially in Europe but increasingly in North America and elsewhere as well. However, these efforts--collectively known as the "new economic geography"--have devoted little attention to the policy implications of the new theory.
Economic Geography and Public Policy fills the gap by illustrating many new policy insights economic geography models can offer to the realm of theoretical policy analysis. Focusing primarily on trade policy, tax policy, and regional policy, Richard Baldwin and coauthors show how these models can be used to make sense of real-world situations. The book not only provides much fresh analysis but also synthesizes insights from the existing literature.
The authors begin by presenting and analyzing the widest range of new economic geography models to date. From there they proceed to examine previously unaddressed welfare and policy issues including, in separate sections, trade policy (unilateral, reciprocal, and preferential), tax policy (agglomeration with taxes and public goods, tax competition and agglomeration), and regional policy (infrastructure policies and the political economy of regional subsidies). A well-organized, engaging narrative that progresses smoothly from fundamentals to more complex material, Economic Geography and Public Policy is essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and policymakers seeking new approaches to spatial policy issues.

State Department of Health officials will host a meeting Feb. 13 to discuss the department's assessment of cancer rates and environmental exposures in a Bethpage neighborhood bordering Navy and Northrop Grumman aviation facilities.
The state on Jan. 17 released the report, which looked at cancer rates in a 19-block area and a separate one-block area.
In the larger area, the number of cases reflected what would normally be expected among the adult population.
In the one-block area, people with cancer were diagnosed at younger ages than what is typically found. But given the small sample, the state did not find a pattern of unusual cases, according to the report.
The report can be found at health.ny.gov. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. in the Bethpage High School auditorium.
For queries about the cancer evaluation, call Aura Weinstein, director of the cancer surveillance program, at 518-473-7817, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Questions about the study can be directed to public health specialist Steve Karpinski at 518-474-7880 or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bird watching goes wireless with Bird Photo Booth
November 15, 2012
Taking a close-up photograph of a bird is no easy task without high-end photo equipment and the patience of a trainspotter. By combining the power of smartphones, wireless technology and quality macro lenses, a KickStarter project called Bird Photo Booth promises to take bird photo enthusiasts a little closer to their subjects without ruffling anyone's feathers.
Designed by Bryson Lovett, a photographer and bird spotter based in Los Angeles, Bird Photo Booth allows anyone with an iPhone, iPod Touch or GoPro to gaze at bird life through their smartphones using wireless technology. The device is set into a handcrafted FSC oak and CNC metal feeder to produce a live stream on another device via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Besides watching the birds, the Bird Photo Booth allows the user to take high-resolution photos as well as "talk" to them using Apple's FaceTime. For those who would like to share the ensuing avian wonder, the images captured can be instantly uploaded to social networks.
Bryson emphasizes the system is very simple to use, so you don't have to be a gadget wizard to remotely interact with birds (which is also the principle behind Wingscapes BirdCam). First find the spot where the birds tend to visit and set up the Bird Photo Booth on the ground, on a tripod, or in a tree. Then launch one of the suggested iOS apps for streaming, such as Wireless Camera, or GoPro's free remote app, and insert the device of choice – iPhone (3G or later), iPod touch or GoPro – into the Bird Photo Booth. You're now ready to sit back and enjoy the live feed via a wireless connection from a comfortable remote location.
The makers of the device claim that birds' "facial expressions" can be captured using iPhone's built-in face detection technology enabled by the Booth's macro lens. It's claimed that, even using an iPhone 4, photographers will be able to blow their images up to 52 x 52 inches (132 x 132 cm) without pixelation – a bold claim. An adjustable arm allows the location of the feeder to be adjusted, so theoretically it should at least be possible to take photos of incoming or departing birds with the feeder out of shot.
The weatherproof design was inspired by the original 1950s Polaroid Land camera. It has been conceived to allow for next-generation smartphones to be integrated with the interchangeable protective foam inserts. Currently Bird Phone Booth is available for (iPhones 3G and later) iPod Touch and GoPro / GoPro Hero2 with Wi-Fi BacPac, but there are plans for a Universal Android insert as well.
The package includes high quality interchangeable lenses (macro and polarizing lenses) and Bryson says it will be able to accommodate other types of lenses such as wide-angle and fisheye lenses, which are not included.
The video below shows how to take pictures with Bird Photo Booth.
Source: KickStarter, via Technabob
So a pledge of $149 or more gets you a bird feeder with a couple of cheap lens filters? Kickstarter is becoming less about raising funds for innovative products and more about selling any old crap without having to worry about issuing refunds to unhappy "customers" because they're considered to be "investors" and therefore the usual rules and regulations don't apply.
Not that I'm implying that this product will be complete crap of course - it looks to be of reasonably good quality in the pictures, just like in the pictures of any other product in any other sales brochure. But it's still a $149 bird feeder....M C
I love the concept! Being a bird lover myself and not having much free time, I find this to be a creative and positive use of technology! Well done!Laurie Van Wyckhouse

I recommend sizing up one size from what you originally are because i order a small and a medium due to not being sure which size i was. The small fit perfect except if i bent over just a little bit my butt peeked out but in the medium the length was a little bit longer and the fit was still great. I sent back the small and kept the medium. Best purchase yet no wonder this dress is on the best seller.

My husband and I enjoyed staying here even though the campground was a half mile from the beautiful beach. We stayed in the newer campground with water, electric and sewer but the sites in the older campground were more private with better view of the small lake. This is a beautiful beach but dogs are not allowed on any Florida Beach State Park which was disappointing to me since we had 2 dogs with us. It would be beneficial to have your bicycle with you because there are many bicycle trails in the nearby town and a faster way to get to the beach. - Diane Ameter
Mar 2014 - $30.00
This was an unexpected pleasure! We stayed here for 7 days and enjoyed it all. Plenty of privacy as the sites are spaced nicely. Old section was nice, although some sites were small. A few back right up near Western Lake. It's only a 10 minute bike ride to the beach area, and its very nice there. The whole park has clean restrooms, showers, and pavilion areas. Sunsets were unbelievable! Water was still quite cold but managed to get legs in some. Easy in and out. Dump station there for the older non-sewer section. - LaMonte
Feb 2014 - $24.00
The beach is wonderful, campsites are spacious, and some are right on the water. Although the new loop has sewer, we like the original loop better as the sites are wide open. During our stay, the weather was dreadful ice, rain, and freezing temperatures. Despite miles of sand, the park staff chose to close the rest rooms in our loop because the steps and deck had a light coating of ice instead of sprinkling a layer of sand. The roads are dirt. There are a number of potholes which the staff doesn't repair because they use them as speed bumps. There was a huge pothole in front or our site and after a day of rain, a small child or dog could have been lost in it. The good news is that laundry facilities have been added to the older loop during a recent remodeling. - lanceley

There are two sections in this park, older and Palm Circle which has newer sites that are larger with more privacy. Lots of trees loaded with pine cones. Some sites in older part have cracked concrete pads but are generally adequate. There is a nice pool, small inland lakes for fishing. The beach and sand dunes are beautiful and are .7 miles walk from campground. - Nautical Wheelers
Mar 2015 - $54.00
Absolutely beautiful forested park with 100 ft pine trees. All sites are beautifully landscaped with level concrete pads surrounded by grass. Many hiking and biking trails within the park and outside the park. Beautiful boardwalk to the beach which is on what is known as "the emerald coast" due to the color of the sparkling clear ocean and white white sand beach. This is a state park so at least in March, the park rangers offered a once a week short guided hike. The only other activity we experienced was a once a week "house concert" where a local band entertains the guests. We were stunned at the quality of the wonderful bands we saw perform. This is definitely not to be missed. Shopping and restaurants are within very close distance. We will definitely return to this park again. - JanneC

Moga's iPhone-compatible game controller shows up in video
updated 12:57 pm EDT, Sat October 26, 2013
Moga Ace Power charges iPhone while playing
Moga appears set to release an iPhone-compatible game controller in the near future, as video and images of the device have popped up online. The Moga Ace Power showed up on the Twitter feed of @evleaks on Friday, and a YouTube video of the device has since emerged. The device shown off in both features a controller layout similar to that of Microsoft's Xbox, and it is also said to charge an iPhone while it is connected.
The Ace Power reportedly packs an 1800mAh battery pack inside its frame, which will likely enable lengthy gaming sessions without draining the battery of an iPhone. It appears to be compatible only with newer iPhones, including the 5, 5c, and 5s, as well as the fifth-generation iPod touch.
Apple added controller support to iOS devices with the release of iOS 7, and Moga is one among a few companies that are looking to capitalize on that addition. Logitech and ClamCase have also teased offerings, but no company has yet given specifics on pricing or availability.
