LTCI policy review
By Julie Gelbwaks Gewirtz
Gelbwaks Executive Marketing Corp.
Long term care insurance has been in existence since the 1970s and there are a wide variety of policies that have been sold throughout the past three to four decades to consumers all over the United States. As an advisor, you will most likely run into situations where clients or prospects of yours already own some form of LTCI and you are asked to review these polices. Because of that, it is really not enough to simply know the details of what is being offered in today's marketplace. You also should have a handle on what was marketed in the past and the pitfalls consumers may fall into based on the antiquated language in some of these old contracts.
So much has changed over the years for the better when it comes to LTCI policy definitions, guidelines, and benefits. This article will give you some tips on how to review the insurance plans sold years ago. Please note that the best option is not always going to be replacement. As a matter of fact, in many cases, it is not at all in the client's best interest. The reasons for that are numerous. For example:
- The older they are, the higher the premium.
- They may not be as healthy as they were when they were originally purchased.
- Some of the policies are "grandfathered" and the insured may not be able get that same combination of benefits today.
1. Home care only, facility only, or integrated long term care? When that policy arrives on your desk, the very first thing you should look for is the basic structure of the contract itself. Approximately 99 percent of all policies sold in the country today are integrated long term care insurance plans which will pay benefits when care is needed in a home setting, assisted living facility, nursing home, or in some cases, even throughout the community, such as in adult day care centers or Alzheimer's centers. But in the past, a large percentage were sold as home care only, meaning they will only cover the insured if care is needed at home, or as facility only, where coverage is only available if the policyholder needs care while in a nursing home, for example. If it is a limited benefit plan like these mentioned, you may want to think about supplementing it with more well-rounded coverage, since a person never knows where they might need the care and it may not always be their decision at claim time. Buying home care only is like buying homeowners insurance on just your kitchen, since that is where the fire will be. Long term care is really an unknown; therefore, it is best to cover all bases. Also, check to see if the policy covers assisted living facilities at all. Many old contracts did not, but just because it wasn't clearly stated as a benefit does not mean that they could not be paid for through the alternate plan of care benefit, if there is one.
2. Benefit amount, benefit period, elimination period, inflation. This is an obvious one. In order to review a policy, the advisor must be aware of what benefits were purchased. Check to see that the benefit amount is high enough. Look at the average cost for care in the area the insured plans to receive it (not necessarily where they live now). This is one of the biggest mistakes people made in the past -- not buying a high enough benefit amount. If it needs to be increased, usually the best way to do that would be to sell them another policy and stack the two. The reason for this is because they would not be able to increase benefits on an existing policy without going through the entire underwriting process again, and rates would most likely be at the new age, as well. If the policy is too expensive for the insured to hold on to and a change must be made to keep it affordable, a good idea is to reduce the benefit period. This is another area where people sometimes made some mistakes in the past. Benefit amount is generally more important than benefit period. Lastly, consumers typically do not understand the way their elimination period or inflation options work. Do your best to read the definitions and explain it to them. Don't assume that you know how they work, since these two variables differ greatly from contract to contract.
3. Tax qualified, non-tax qualified or grandfathered? If a policy is tax qualified and purchased after 1/1/97, there are many definitions and language specifics that would have been dictated by the Federal Government through the HIPAA legislation. If it was purchased prior to 1/1/97 and is an integrated LTCI contract, then it would have been "grandfathered" in. Policies that were grandfathered were able to leave the language as is, but still give the consumer tax qualified status -- a possible deduction of premium and tax free benefit. Grandfathered policies are generally not replaced because of the special treatment that was granted to them.
5. Three-day hospital stay. If the policy you are reviewing is very old, you might find that it requires a three day hospital stay before the policyholder is eligible for benefits. This was originally done in an attempt to mirror Medicare benefits. Most of the language in these policies is so outdated that they do not look anything like the contracts sold today. Beware.
6. Bathing as an ADL trigger/ number of ADLs. ADL stands for "activities of daily living." These are the things a person does every day as part of their normal routine. In a tax qualified policy bought after 1/1/97, there are six ADLs: bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring (such as moving from the bed to the chair), continence, and eating. If they are non-tax qualified or grandfathered, they could also include ambulating/walking. You actually lose them in the reverse order that you learn them as a child. As a child, bathing is the very last thing you can do without adult supervision, whereas eating is the first thing you can do on your own. When you are an adult, bathing is traditionally the first to go and eating is the last one you lose. Many older policies did not include bathing as one of the ADLs. That made them not nearly as liberal as policies today.
7. Stand by and/or hands-on assistance. This is referring to the language in the policy regarding assistance with the ADLs. Hands-on assistance can be defined as assistance which requires the hands-on help of another person. An example of this might be that in order for you to be considered as having lost the ability to bathe, another person would be required to physically lift you into the shower or tub. Alternatively, stand-by assistance is regularly defined as assistance which includes supervision of another person. The example here would be that in order for you to have lost the ability to bathe, another person just needs to be standing by, or supervising, while you get in and out of the shower or tub. Some older contracts only had hands-on assistance language. All current tax qualified plans must include stand-by as well.
8. If tax qualified, is there expected language? Tax qualified policies require that in order for a policyholder to be eligible for benefits through the loss of two ADL trigger, a licensed health care practitioner must write up an assessment stating that the insured needs assistance with two of six ADLs and will need it for an "expected" period of 90 days. What this means is that as long as the expectation is there and the assessment has been made, if the claim only lasts 80 days it will still be paid. Look out though, because some policies do not use the word "expected" and therefore, those claims that do not actually make it the full 90 days (even if they were expected to) could be denied. This, by the way, has nothing to do with the elimination period.
9. Waiver of premium for home care. In the bulk of policies sold today, you will find a full waiver of premium for facility and home care. This means that if the policyholder goes on claim, he/she will no longer be paying premium, no matter where they are receiving the care. Many contracts written in the past did not include a waiver for the home care portion at all. Some required the applicant to choose it as a rider and pay extra for this feature. Either way, ensure your client knows about this one ahead of time.
10. Home care definition. The way "home care" is defined can vary greatly from contract to contract. Check to see if homemaker services are included. These are things like cooking, light housekeeping, and personal laundry. Although it is a very common benefit today, this was sometimes not covered in the past. Look for the language in terms of who is an eligible caregiver. Does the policy require that the insured uses a caregiver from a home care agency? A number of newer plans allow for independently licensed caregivers, sometimes unlicensed caregivers, and a few others even allow for family members to be paid at claim time. Not so in plans of the past. Also, a 100 percent home care benefit was not regularly sold years ago.
11. Elimination period once in a lifetime. Elimination periods are the most misunderstood part of a LTCI policy. The mainstream policies in the industry currently have elimination period definitions that are very different from the past. Almost all today are once in a lifetime. Many include or offer a waiver of elimination period for home care. Lots of older plans did not include a once in a lifetime elimination period. In addition, some of the old plans that did contain once in a lifetime language also included an accumulation period. That meant that the elimination period would only actually be once if it was accumulated during a certain time frame -- for example, 180 days. Otherwise, it would begin again. Also, most of them were service day elimination periods where you had to get care from a qualified caregiver who would have otherwise been covered under the policy in order for that day to credit the elimination period. Some policies required that the days be consecutive to count.
12. Use it or lose it vs. pool of money. Many contracts of the past were "use it or lose it," which meant that if, for example, you bought a $200 per day benefit and you only used $120 on that particular day, you would lose the other $80. If you had a three-year plan and three years on claim had passed, the policy was finished. Therefore, there was no salvage like there is today. The idea of a "pool of money" plan where all the funds are pooled into one bucket to use wherever needed did not come about until the 1990s.
13. Partnership eligible? This is going to depend on the state you live in and the long term care partnership availability in your particular state. These policies allow for a Medicaid asset disregard. Some states do not yet have partnership plans and others have had them available for many years. If you are in one of the original four partnership states (NY, CA, CT, IN), the policy your client has will be specifically marked as a partnership qualified plan. If you are in a post Deficit Reduction Act state and you have a client who bought a policy after the effective date of partnership in that state with the right type of inflation based on the age they were at the time according to DRA guidelines, they will most likely be eligible for Partnership, as well. Many of the carriers and states have not yet formalized every rule when it comes to this subject. Contact your marketing office for more details.
14. Last but not least -- exclusions. The lists of exclusions on an LTCI policy are mainly to be expected, but there are a few for which to look out. The first would be the mental and nervous exclusion. Commonly, this is viewed as a very big negative. What it means in plain language is that if the insured has a condition in this category -- for example, manic depression -- and cannot get out of bed or feed themselves because they are too depressed, that would not be covered under the policy as a two-ADL-loss. Do not confuse this exclusion with conditions which have an organic cause, like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or dementia. Those would be covered. Another exclusion to check for would be workers' compensation. Today, so many buyers of LTCI are young and still in their working years. When a policy has this exclusion, the long term care contract would not pay if a person were to get hurt on the job and the workers' compensation benefit kicked in. Lastly, look for an international coverage exclusion. Many consumers have family overseas and are interested in receiving care if and when it is needed outside of the United States. This was a common exclusion in LTCI policies of the past. Of course, don't forget to do some research on the insurance carrier, as well. Take a look at the history of that company, the ratings, past rate increases, claims practices, and any other information you might be able to access. Reviewing all of the specific policy language of an in-force long term care insurance contract can be a bit tedious, but will give your client some vitally important assistance going forward. The educated advice you can give regarding whether they should hold on to that policy, add to it, or replace it altogether will lead to an extremely satisfied customer. One who could very well turn into a terrific lead source for years to come.

Dr. Aghi saw me in the ER while visiting my daughters family. I was experiencing massive head pain that I had been living with for 6 months. I was misdiagnosed by my home doctor, and Dr. Aghi swiftly realized the error and promptly admitted me where he consulted with a team of experts and took immediate action to return my life back to me. I am very greatful for his knowledge and expertise and his genuine concern for me. The team was able to "fix" me in 48 hours when my own neurologist at home only compounded the problem over the space of 6 months. I was a mess and quite the puzzle to put back together but they were determined to help me...I thank him and his team!

Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in the New World. It was established by John Smith and the Virginia Company of London in 1607.
Plymouth was founded in 1620 by Pilgrims (Separatists and Anglicans) who had fled England in search of religious freedom.
Roanoke Island, off present-day North Carolina, was the site of the first English settlement in North America. Founded by Sir Walter Raleigh in 1585, the colony lasted barely a year. In 1587, Raleigh sent another group of colonists out to settle in the Chesapeake. When they reached Roanoke, the ship's captain refused to take them farther, and they remained on the island, while John White, the colony's leader, went back to England for supplies. When he returned in 1590, he discovered that all the English colonists were gone, giving the...
Louisiana was claimed for France by René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle in 1682. In the early eighteenth century,while the French struggled to create permanent settlements in the territory, but they did establish New Orleans in 1718. The territory changed hands throughout the history of the Americas. The Spanish gained control over it in 1762 and ceded it back to the French in 1800. The territory was finally bought by the United States in 1803through Thomas Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase.
The Massachusetts Bay Colony was settled in 1630 by a group of English Puritans who left England to escape religious persecution. The Puritans in Massachusetts Bay Colony established a strict theocratic government. In 1684 the Crown, concerned about colony's growing independence, annulled the colony's charter and created a royal government under a new charter in 1691.
New France was the area of French colonization in North America. It included Newfoundland, Acadia (Nova Scotia), and much of the Great Lakes region. Originally claimed by Jacques Cartier, the territory expanded through further exploration. The French eventually lost control of most of its colonial territory in the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) and the French and Indian War (1756–1763).
New Netherland was the region between the South River (now the Delaware) and the North River (now the Hudson) controlled and colonized by the Dutch. Sailing for the Dutch East India Company, Henry Hudson first explored the region in 1609 while searching for a passage to Asia. New Netherland, which included New Amsterdam (the present-day island of Manhattan), was lost to the English in the Second Anglo-Dutch War in 1664.

My dad is in his 70's and he has a stash of model kits he bought up in the mid '80's. Unfortunaltely he stored them in the garage, eventually getting moved to the rafters. The garage wasn't ideal, and the rafters are even worse. I rescued his hoard, from slow heat destruction, and to build some for him. I know he's not going to touch these.
My goal was to try and get one built for Christmas.
After opening the boxes and inspecting them for damage (a few had tires melted into windows, bodies, etc. I was expecting worse) I selected an AMT '40 Ford. These are old 3 in 1 kits with metal axles. I was trying to build a period '50's style hot rod.
I didn't get it finished in time for Christmas, or his birthday... But I gave it to him on Easter. He seemed to appreciate it. At first he thought it was a die-cast and was handling it kinda ham-fistedly. I told him what I had doen, and he didn't even remember he had a stash of kits.
Anyway, onto the model. I usually do models with some degree of wear and weathering. When I try to do somethign nice and clean, the odds are stacked against me. First off, the decals in old AMT kits are about as thick as deli sliced ham, and have a border big enough to cause a dispute with the neighbors. This had flame decals for the fenders, but I couldn't get them to smooth out for my life, so I ended up removing those ones, and just leaving them on the flat areas of the hood and doors.
Secondly, my clearcoat wrinkled on the roof and trunklid. I used Krylon for the color and clearcoat, I think ther may have been some latent polish from when I polished the color coat. . Thirdly, when I was buffing out the wrinkles on the clear, I burnt through the paint in two spots. All of thes mistakes would be easy to hide/incorporate into a weathered build. My Dad didn't notice any of these flaws, and after a break I will start another for him, and hopefully get this one finished by Christmas.
I forgot to get pic of the engine, because the hood wouldn't stay open, but here is underneath, I forgot to add the second exhausst pipe, the one is molded into the chassis.

Today marks the first day of spring. Say goodbye to the polar vortex of your past and hello to the sunny days ahead. Long dreamy afternoons spent lounging beachside can only be ruined by a bad hair day (that and running out of rum for the piña coladas), so we're here to help nip those issues in the bud.
Even if you're up to your ears in Chanel tweeds and double C jewelry, you've never gone grocery shopping like this. Chanel's Spring 2014 show, held Tuesday near the end of Paris Fashion Week, displayed a casually luxurious collection amid a 139,930 square foot supermarket runway that was stocked to the brim with produce, home goods, and dry foodstuffs all imprinted with the French house's iconic symbols.
In the midst of all the designer, ready-to-wear fashion weeks taking place all over the world, back in New York Lingerie Fashion Week was taking place—an event dedicated entirely to those itty bitty skivvies you wear under all those hot runway looks. Held the last weekend in February, the week was filled with designers from all over the world, complete with runway, presentations and special exhibits.
Running through a Chanel show grabbing everything you can carry—sounds like the dream, right? Well for guests of yesterday's Chanel's Fall 2014 runway show it was a short-lived moment of beautiful reality. After the runway finale an announcement came over the sound system: "Dear valued customer, the Chanel store is now closing. Please feel free to pick up your complimentary fruit and vegetables as you leave."
It's a little hard to believe that the same man that is giving us a designer collaboration with Nike is giving us these runway dresses, but it's totally true. At the Givenchy Fall 2014 show at Paris Fashion Week this weekend Riccardo Tisci showcased one amazing collection. It was sleek, it was chic, it was fierce, but not in that intense Tyra Banks sort of way.
The Elie Saab Fall 2014 collection at Paris Fashion Week was a gorgeous lineup of berry and jewel tones, soft pinks and the perfect amount of black to make it dark and sensual. Fur, lace, satin and velvet made the collection seem ultra-rich and dreamy—perfect for a show titled Dark Opulence.
Since Guillaume Henry took over as creative director of Carven in 2009, we've seen him create some truly inspiring fashion, especially with his newly-formed men's collection; but his womenswear line is making a statement all on its own. For the Fall 2014 collection, Henry opted for bold, bright color, pairing it with black and grey staples for winter.
Gareth Pugh doesn't do ready-to-wear. His Fall 2014 collection during Paris Fashion Week was an escape from the confines of a "ready-to-wear collection"; a highly ambitious lineup of angles, fabrics and shapes, but what it was he was trying to convey—we're not really sure.
Yesterday during the first day of Paris Fashion Week Anthony Vaccarello showcased his Fall 2014 collection—a lineup filled with miniskirts, tiny dresses and more leather jackets than a rock show. The designer, known for showing skin and making slits and cutouts work to his advantage, seems to be fine tuning his iconic aesthetic rather than changing it up.
As we say goodbye to Milan Fashion Week (yep, already), we feel pretty safe saying that you've either got your favorite picks saved on Pinterest or have started preordering from Moda Operandi. We couldn't help but fall in love with some of the amazing collections that have been showing for the past week, but there was something about the accessories in these shows that made us truly realize the beauty of the fuzzy slipper.
There have been a few designers during these past couple of fashion weeks that were clearly not bothered by the fact that a Fall/Winter lineup usually calls for subdued colors—and Stella Jean was one of them.
Holy lipstick, Batman! That is one fantastic color. Izumi Ogino's designs at Anteprima almost took a backseat to the beauty during the Fall 2014 show at Milan Fashion Week. Feminine silhouettes, chunky knits, bright accessories and killer lipstick made this collection one of those perfect lines we can wear right off the runway.
We're all for an androgynous look, and we'll confess, more than once we've actually borrowed our boyfriend's sweater, but Emporio Armani's Fall 2014 collection during Milan Fashion Week didn't blend the line between the sexes as much as it piled one on top of another.
Maybe we were misled by that adorable lavender runway, or those cool striped pieces—we thought we were getting a modern take on Italian knits, and instead we got—we'll we're not quite sure what we got.
We immediately take back anything we said about not having a favorite show during Milan Fashion Week. Today's Blumarine Fall 2014 runway was filled with Asian inspired cuts, prints and more gold than Midas could handle—it was basically perfect.

If you follow me on Twitter then you know that for the last few weeks I have been suffering from serious seasonal dry skin. In general, Alberta is quite dry year round; but during the winter months, it goes to the next level. For me, this means really dry skin; but the dry skin I can deal with, it's the incessant itchiness that proves more challenging to accept.
For the better part of November I have been itching like I've smoked PCP; and despite my unbridled love for coconut oil, it simply wasn't cutting it- I was having to slather it all over my body at least six to seven times a day to find dry skin relief. Too much if you ask me. So after taking to Twitter to see if any of my friends and followers had any suggestion, I finally admitted defeat and went to my local organic market to seek professional help.

2007 NFL Mock Draft
2007 NFL Mock Draft
2007 NFL Mock Draft
by Robert Ferringo
There's a reason you shouldn't get too emotional about some random mock draft posted on the blog of RaiderHater69 in early February. With free agency and the salary cap structure set up the way it is in the good ol' NF of L there's a ton of offseason wheeling and dealing to be done between February and April, which always has a drastic impact on what teams needs come Draft Day. This year is no different.
Since our last mock draft, Version 1.1, there have been some big doings throughout the league. The most high-profile moves involved the Falcons trading up from No. 10 to No. 8, the Giants taking Rueben Droughns from the Brown, and the Bills trading Willis McGahee to the Ravens. While none of those moves has necessarily turned the league on its axis I do think that each, in its own subtle way, has helped clear up the fog that hovers over the annual amateur draft.
And now I'm going to throw a wrench in the whole darn thing. That's right, this is Doc's Sports 2007 NFL Mock Draft Version 2.1. You'll notice that there is a blockbuster trade that I'm anticipating prior to April 28. Now, I'm not saying this to be provocative or to stir things up. I really think that this would be a mutually beneficial and realistic deal. Again, at this stage of the mock I'm still going primarily on whom I think teams should take as opposed to solely whom they might take.
And without further ado, here's Doc's Sports' 2007 Mock Draft Version 2.1:
1. Oakland Raiders - JaMarcus Russell, QB, LSU
This one is still all but a given. There is an outside shot at grabbing Calvin Johnson here if they somehow trade Randy Moss between now and Draft Day. But Russell is a very solid selection here for Oakland and will help put a positive buzz back into a sinking franchise.
2. Atlanta Falcons - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech
Yup, I said it. In an interview with an Atlanta radio station following the Matt Schaub trade, Rich McKay cryptically referenced the "home-grown player" out there even though the question was about something else entirely. I don't know why, but I felt like that was a tell.
I think Atlanta should give up two second round picks - the No. 44 overall in this year's draft and the extra selection in next year's draft - and swap first round selections here (No. 8 overall) with Detroit. Then can then get the game-breaking wideout that Mike Vick has never had, who just happens to be a local legend. Confidence is high in Hotlanta following the Bobby Petrino hiring. But if they could swing a deal to get Johnson the roof might blow off the Georgia Dome. And really, what it would mean is that they were able to trade their backup quarterback for the consensus best player in the draft.
3. Cleveland Browns - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma
While everyone is still on tilt from the stunner that the Falcons just pulled - Mel Kiper's head might have exploded and Chris Berman is definitely sweating profusely by now and should be on the verge of a massive coronary - the Browns quietly grab the guy they wanted all along. Peterson had a great individual workout and after Cleveland traded Reuben Droughns running back became a huge need.
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Gaines Adams, DE, Clemson
If the above scenario does take place, the Bucs will be the one that takes the shaft as a result because they were likely going to steal Johnson at the No. 4 slot. Instead, I think they address an area of severe need. Tampa Bay had just 25 sacks last year and leading pass rusher Simeon Rice is entering his 13th season.
5. Arizona Cardinals - Joe Thomas, OT, Penn State
OK, this is why this trade won't work: the Cardinals aren't this lucky. After snagging a franchise quarterback last year they'll now be able to pair him with a franchise left tackle. I think the Cardinals rep would be falling over himself if Thomas is still on the board at this slot, and would take him off it in about 30 seconds.
6. Washington Redskins - Alan Branch, DT, Michigan
Fred Smoot has come back to the Skins - he liked the school systems and the hookers better in D.C. - addressing a huge need in the secondary. The other need is a pass rusher, and they would love to get Gaines Adams. However, I think they settle on what I believe is the best defensive lineman in the draft. However, Branch had a pathetic workout and, in Version 3.1 of this mock, could be out of the Top 10 all together.
7. Minnesota Vikings - Leon Hall, CB, Michigan
It's a toss-up here between Brady Quinn and Hall. But with David Carr on the block and the Vikes still talking to K.C. about Trent Green I think they'll go after a veteran while trying to develop Tav Jackson and/or Brooks Bollinger. Don't forget that Minnesota is still fighting for a new stadium right now. Draft Quinn and starting Jackson screams "REBUILDING". Another bad year could sour state officials about funding the new digs.
8. Detroit Lions - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame
I can't get into the mind of Matt Millen - nor would I really want to. I think they want Quinn, but he has very little value at No. 2 overall. I think if they can swing my proposed deal for the No. 2 spot - moving down to No. 8 and picking up two second round picks, one this year and one next - that would be a great move for a team with a lot of needs.
Remember, they got an offensive tackle (George Foster) in the Dre Bly deal, so the need for Joe Thomas is certainly lowered. If Quinn is off the board they'll replace Bly with Leon Hall. If Quinn and Hall are off the board they're screwed. But this would be good value at a need position for the Lions. Too bad they don't make smart draft decisions.
9. Miami Dolphins - Jamal Anderson, DE, Arkansas
The Dolphins have the oldest defensive line in the league by average age and need to get some fresh meat in there. Anderson is a beast, and learning from super rushers like Jason Taylor would be a huge boon for this Southern boy. Throw in Joey Porter and the Fins' pass rush just got a lot nastier.
10. Houston Texans - Laron Landry, S, LSU
Man, what the hell is going on with the Texans front office? The draft is still a month away and they already blew this one too. That's now 0-for-2 in the Kubiak Era after last year's Bush-Young-Williams fiasco. They gave up way too much for Matt Schaub when they could have held onto the No. 8 pick and hoped that Quinn slipped. If not, ride out one more year with Carr and then pick someone up next year. Or trade next year's No. 1 for Schaub. I don't get it. Levi Brown is enticing, but I think they are getting better value on the top safety in the draft.
11. San Francisco 49ers - Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Ohio State
Four of the five free agents that the 49ers landed this offseason were on defense, and they recently purged Antonio "DUI" Bryant. San Fran grabbed Ashley Lelie as a deep threat, so now they need to give Alex Smith a true game breaker. Dwayne Jarrett will be tough to pass up because of the SoCal connection, but I think they go with Ginn.
12. Buffalo Bills - Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville
The Bills have needs and could go in a lot of different directions. Marshawn Lynch is a possibility to fill the void left by Willis McGahee. They're also going to have to either trade or cut Takeo Spikes for monetary reasons so a linebacker is a very real possibility. But I think they draft the 19-year old defensive tackle and toss him in the rotation up front.
13. St. Louis Rams - Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska
This would be like the beer goggles pickup at last call in a dive bar. If the Rams strikeout at getting any of the other, better defensive linemen on the board I think they would settle for Carriker since it is a position of need. They did get James Hall from Detroit, but still need either a speed rusher, every down end, or a DT. If they sign Ian Scott at DT I think they may shift the focus to LB to shore up the league's No. 31 rush defense.
14. Carolina Panthers - Patrick Willis, ILB, Ole Miss
Wait, does this mean that the Panthers aren't next year's Super Bowl favorites? I can't overstate how critical this pick and this draft are for the Panthers, who have no money to spend in free agency. Miami TE Greg Olsen would be a good get here, but they lost Chris Draft and you can't count on Dan Morgan for anything beyond drooling and mumbling as he suffers through his 83rd concussion. I love Willis and think he'll become an All-Pro LB someday. Carolina will be hoping it's sooner rather than later.
15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida
I really can't say what new coach Mike Tomlin is going to do with this draft. I do know that there are some serious chemistry issues that need to be addressed because some key vets aren't happy that A) Russ Grimm got passed over and B) Joey Porter got let go. Tomlin may switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3 and if he does he'll need to restock the defensive line. They'll start with pass-rushing specialist to groom on the outside.
16. Green Bay Packers - Marshawn Lynch, RB, California
My initial mock had Peterson falling here. That's clearly not going to happen now - though I still say that if Cleveland doesn't take him he'll fall all the way to Buffalo - so the Pack have to take the consolation prize. That is if the Packers don't pick up a veteran back before the draft. If Lynch is gone, and they have a veteran back, then pencil in TE Greg Olsen here.
17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Reggie Nelson, S, Florida
Jacksonville has adopted the Matt Millen Method of drafting, selecting receivers early in the past three drafts. And, amazingly, they still could use an offensive game breaker. However, I think they'll pad the defense and Mike Peterson's loss proved that they're a little thin at linebacker. But I think they go with a Florida guy and get a very talented safety.
18. Cincinnati Bengals - Lawrence Timmons, LB, Florida State
You can bet that Marvin Lewis won't be drafting someone with a criminal record and he won't be picking someone from Georgia. The Bengals have invested a lot of picks to linebackers recently but it's still an area of need. The Bengals do have some holes to fill - especially if they lose some of their offensive line to free agency, or if they cut ties with Chris Henry - but it's still obvious where they need help. The Bengals would love Carriker or Moss to fall to them, but instead I think they reach for Spencer. Cincy could pick up Quentin Moses or Charles Johnson but they haven't had much success with those Georgia guys so I think they'll stay away.
19. Tennessee Titans - Dwayne Jarrett, WR, Southern Cal
There will be a strong push to get local guy Robert Meachem, the wideout from Tennessee, but I think Norm Chow grabs one of his former USC guys. Bobby Wade and Drew Bennett were their two best options last year - as horrifying as that though is - and now both are gone. Getting Vince Young some playmakers has to be a priority.
20. New York Giants - John Beason, LB, Miami
After failing to grab Al Wilson last week the Giants are still desperate for depth and skill at linebacker. They also need help in the secondary and at tackle, but I think they'll go after one of the top hitters on the board here. I think a corner would be a solid pick also, and either Aaron Ross or Darrelle Revis would be solid pickups.
21. Denver Broncos - Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU
Denver has gone against the grain in the past couple of drafts so I'm not 100 percent sure what they're looking at. If they don't go after a young, fast, pass rushing defensive end I think they'll have to grab a playmaker on offense. They picked up a running back and a tight end this offseason, so now it's time to upgrade the receiving corps.
22. Dallas Cowboys - Aaron Ross, CB, Dallas
Dallas hasn't drafted an offensive player in the first round since 1997 and I look for that streak to continue. They signed Ken Hamlin to give them safety help, and I think Anthony Henry could possibly get some reps there as well. Ross is a Texas guy and is coming off a monster year. I think this would be a nice pickup.
23. Kansas City Chiefs - Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee
It's kind of a toss-up here for the Chiefs - grab a wide receiver or grab a cornerback? They have somehow gotten by with mediocre receivers but I think it's time to give the offense a shot in the arm. I know Herm Edwards will be crawling out of his skin grabbing an offensive player this high but in order to win the game you have to score the most points.
24. New England Patriots - Paul Posluzny, LB, Penn State
This would be a vintage Patriot move. Posluzny was slowed by injury and a new position last year but the guy is still a stud. Consider him a faster, younger Tedy Bruschi. I think this would be a fantastic get by New England. However, they're still trying to restock their LB corps through free agency so this might not be a need by Draft Day.
25. New York Jets - DeMarcus Tyler, DT, North Carolina State
Status quo: "His nickname is Tank. What else do you want to know? In 2005 he played next to three first round draft picks for the Wolfpack but he had his best season in 2006 without any of them. That says something. He does have some character issues - which means he might not slip past Cincinnati - but he'd fit in perfectly in New York's 3-4."
26. Philadelphia Eagles - Michael Griffin, S, Texas
The Eagles would have to be thrilled if Griffin was still on the board here. They let Michael Lewis go in free agency and Brian Dawkins is on the downside. Griffin is just a straight up winner and would fit in perfectly with Philly's team-first attitude.
27. New Orleans Saints - Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas
New Orleans is really in a bad slot for their first round selection because the teams that pick immediately in front of them have essentially the same needs. New Orleans has to beef up the front seven and could use some secondary help as well. Houston gets the nod because he had a great combine and essentially shut down Jarrett, Bowe and Meachem last season.
28. New England Patriots - Joe Staley, OT, Central Michigan
This would be a solid value selection for the Pats. Staley is a former tight end and a versatile, athletic lineman.
29. Baltimore Ravens - Ben Grubbs, OG, Auburn
I think the Ravens would prefer to get Staley and let him learn for a season under Jonathan Ogden. That is, if Ogden doesn't retire. But they also lost guard Edwin Mulitalo as a cap casualty in order to pick up Willis McGahee. They don't have a third- or fourth-round pick so they have to add some depth here.
30. San Diego Chargers - Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina
Rice isn't worth a first round pick, but San Diego will probably be painted in a corner. If any of the wideouts I have being taken ahead of him are available then the Chargers will pounce. They need at least one new wideout to add some explosiveness to the offense.
31. Chicago Bears - Greg Olsen, TE, Miami
I have to say that it's a long shot that Olsen lasts this long. Apparently he was a freak at the combine, but I watched the TEs running routes and doing some drills (yes, I'm a twisted depraved gambling addict) and I didn't think he "dominated" the day. Anyway, the Bears desperately need some DT's and could use a replacement for Briggs, who is out after this season. So I'm actually hoping that the tight end I've been screaming about for three years isn't available with this pick.
32. Indianapolis Colts - Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee
Corey Simon is MIA and Montae Reagor just signed with Philly. That makes this a "need" pick. One thing though: Harrell played a game last season with a completely torn bicep. That instantly makes him tougher than about 80 percent of the Colts team so I don't think they'll pick him up.

With all of the pre-holiday buzz and widely optimistic sales projections, anything other than a blockbuster 2012 holiday shopping season was bound to be a letdown.
By Jeff Green, president and CEO, Jeff Green Partners
Whatever your political views may be, it's hard not to think about the impact of the recent presidential election on the consumer psyche, and ultimately our industry.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what the media thinks is the "next big thing" in our industry.
As we continue to witness the battle of brick-and-mortar versus online shopping, it's interesting to see Walmart's latest ploy to "one-up" their online competition.
I'm sure I wasn't the only person in the industry to raise an eyebrow when the S&P Retail Index notched an all-time high last month.
Each year, since the "big recession," retailers have been putting out their holiday decorations and starting their promotional sales as early as mid-October.
While I don't pretend to know what the long-term implications of an Obama re-election or a Romney win would mean for our economy or our country, I do think that what happens on Nov. 6 will almost certainly have an impact on our industry — particularly, shopper sentiment and ultimately holiday sales.
The retail industry, yours truly included, has had a watchful eye on J.C. Penney ever since CEO Ron Johnson took over and announced his plans to revamp the iconic retailer.

What are the differences between the CX 680i and the MX 680i for the extra cash?
- Asked by Chris W from London
Sennheiser Adidas CX 680i Sports Headphones with Remote
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
My understanding is that the CX 680i is noise cancelling, so it blocks out external noise, for clearer listening, whereas the MX 680i isn't, and is recommended for outdoor use (so you can hear cars, cyclists etc for safety reasons).
- Answered by Yousif A from Leeds
The CX is an in-ear headphone with the rubber tips that fit inside of your ear and the MX is an ear bud like the pair that comes with all of the apple i products.

Chester's puns during the group huddles are so bad that they're actually funny, haha.
I hope we get that song @1.20mins on LPU12.
i ripped it if someone wants it click here lol
As days go by, my heart grows cold.
It's at times like 1:20 that make me want more LP Cookies released.
I second the notion to putting that song (and Pay Yo Respektz) on LPU12
Haha, nice video xD

Love this one
Props to mrxtothez for signature.
Life is like a never ending road; the never is short but the ending is long.
The cycle repeated as explosions broke in the sky
all that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn waiting to let me know
We're building it up to break it back down
We're building it up to burn it down
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted as the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this but couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn waiting to let you know
You told me yes you held me high And I believed when you told that lie
I played that soldier you played king And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right to hold that crown I built you up but you let me down
so when you fall I'll take my turn and fan the flames as your blazes burn
A fire needs a space to burn, a breath to build a glow.
I want that jam in studio quality, noaw.
21st century church
People on YT asking what album that song came from.
LOL Chester @ 1:56.
that song sounds like an RHCP
May your love never end and if you need a friend, there's a seat here alongside me.
someone rip that gif lmfao
When life leaves us blind, love keeps us kind
pretty sick VICTIMIZED instrumental, would be nice if they released that an extended instrumental mix of it as part of LIVING THINGS REMIXED
Last edited by Broman; 08-19-2012 at 06:20 AM. Reason: Shit, nvm thats just the instrumental lol
Chester is amazing.
I love the irony about LP - The news and rumours about LITE video are getting lost in the echo...

Nestle Waters North America Receives Final Approval to Produce Arrowhead Spring Water in Chaffee County, Colorado
CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo., Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ — The Chaffee County Board of County Commissioners approved a final resolution on September 23 for Nestle Waters North America to produce spring water for its Arrowhead Spring Water Brand.
As part of an overall strategy to regionalize Nestle Waters' business and reduce the company's carbon footprint and costs, Nestle Waters has made a concerted effort to identify sustainable spring sources that will allow the company to better serve its bottled water customers and meet these environmental and fiscal objectives. For several years, Nestle Waters has been evaluating spring sites in Colorado to serve its customers in the Rocky Mountain region.
"We greatly appreciate the decision by the Chaffee County Board of Commissioners today," said Kim Jeffery, President and CEO, Nestle Waters North America. "Our commitment in Chaffee County is an important part of our larger effort as a company to further reduce our environmental impact while still providing a healthy bottled beverage to people in this part of the West. We are working hard to ensure that our operations are sensitive to the needs of the local community and look forward to serving as true partners in Chaffee County."
Nestle Waters will begin the process of securing other permits, such as construction permits, from the County and other agencies in order to begin construction and operation of the project. Nestle Waters will also file for a Substitute Water Supply Plan and Plan for Augmentation to replace its water withdrawals to the Arkansas River. The City of Aurora has approved a lease of its water rights in Twin Lakes to cover the project's withdrawals. According to Nestle Waters' Construction Engineer, Brent Clay, the Chaffee County project should be operational by summer 2010.
As part of the conditions of its 1041 and SLUP permits, Nestle Waters is required to augment – drop for drop – all water collected for spring water production, provide a comprehensive land management plan of the spring sites, to include the hatchery removal and habitat restoration, surface water and groundwater monitoring and mitigation plans, protection of bighorn sheep habitat, streambank and wildlife-friendly fencing, and other environmental, construction, and land use conditions. Long-term hydrologic monitoring, initiated in 2007, will continue throughout the life of the project.
"The permitting process in Chaffee County has been a very thorough procedure with an incredible opportunity to incorporate public opinion into shaping this spring water project," said Bruce Lauerman, Nestle Waters Natural Resource Manager in Colorado. "Our many conversations and meetings over the past two years have helped us modify our project to best meet the needs of local residents and we look forward to providing beneficial opportunities for the community and beginning our next phase of this project."
Included as part of Nestle Waters' commitment in Chaffee County are: a $500,000 endowment for local education initiatives; a permanent conservation easement to protect Nestle's 115 acres along the Arkansas River; in-stream fishing access at the Ruby Mountain and Bighorn Spring Sites; multi-million dollar local contracts to Chaffee County construction companies, programmatic annual giving to locally identified needs in the community; opportunities for environmentally-focused field study with local college and high school students; a comprehensive, wildlife-habitat restoration project of the dilapidated fish hatchery; and a commitment to hire at least 50% of our truck drivers from the local area. In addition, Nestle Waters will have a staffed office during construction and start-up in Chaffee County that will allow the company to manage the project locally and stay involved in community-wide initiatives and activities.

My granddaughter will be 21 in Dec. Before she was born we did not know if she would be a boy or girl. My daughter and I went to garage sales, etc. and bought light colored baby clothes of various styles and sizes. Formula fed babies left unsightly stains. I bleached everything and then we tie-dyed it all. She still has one or two onsies as mementos. We were ahead of the times!!! Tie-dyeing clothes for all ages covers many stains.

PUTRAJAYA: A new Federal Court quorum will be constituted to hear Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's leave application for leave to appeal against the dismissal of his RM100mil defamation suit against former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
This follows the decision by two of the three judges to recuse themselves from hearing the application, which was scheduled for Monday, at the request of Anwar's counsel, Karpal Singh.
Karpal Singh had sought the recusal of Justices Datuk Hashim Yusoff and Datuk Zulkefli Ahmad Makinuddin on the ground that they had previously heard Anwar's civil suit against Dr Mahathir on his dismissal from his cabinet posts, which involved the same parties.
Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Arifin Zakaria adjourned the matter to next week, and said that the parties in the matter would be notified of the hearing date.
Earlier, Datuk V. K. Lingam, counsel for Dr Mahathir submitted that to disqualify a judge, Anwar must demonstrate that there were circumstances that gave rise to real danger of bias.
Anwar, is seeking leave to appeal against the Court of Appeal's decision on Oct 10 last year which rejected his appeal on technical grounds.
The Court of Appeal had held that the memorandum of appeal filed by Anwar in the English language was defective and invalid and that court documents must be filed in Bahasa Malaysia.
In 1999, Anwar brought legal action against Dr Mahathir for defamation for allegedly uttering accusations of immoral acts at a news conference.
In 2007, the Kuala Lumpur High Court allowed Dr Mahathir's application to strike out the suit.
Anwar was unsuccessful in his appeal at the Court of Appeal.
Outside the Court, Karpal Singh told reporters that the Federal Court would decide next Monday in Anwar's final appeal relating to his dismissal from cabinet posts in 1998.
In that case, the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) adviser is seeking an order from the court to declare that his dismissal as deputy prime minister and finance minister by Dr Mahathir was unlawful and that he be compensated in lieu of reinstatement. - Bernama

Most California employers are well aware that California's minimum wage for non-exempt employees will increase from $8 per hour to $9 per hour on July 1, 2014, and to $10 per hour on January 1, 2016. Many employers in San Jose and San Francisco think that the state wide increase will be a non-event because they already have to comply with local minimum wage ordinances for their non-exempt employees that are in excess of California's upcoming minimum wage increases. However, increases in California's minimum wage are very significant because they also impact the minimum salary for exempt status employees, and commissioned inside sales employees.
In order to be classified as an exempt employee the employee must meet certain requirements with regard to the type of work that they are doing but they also must meet a minimum salary test. California law requires that in order to be classified as exempt, an employee must earn a monthly salary which is twice the state minimum for a full time employee (40 hours per week). Currently the minimum salary for a full time, exempt employee is $33,280 per year. This will increase on July 1, 2014 to a minimum exempt salary of $37,440 per year. By 2016, employees will need to earn at least $41,600 per year to meet the minimum salary test for exempt status.
State minimum wage law will also impact the pay of commissioned inside sales employees. Under California law, an inside salesperson will be exempt from overtime pay if they earn more than 1.5 times the state minimum wage and more than half their income comes from commission. This means that in order to be exempt from overtime pay after July 1, 2014 an inside sales person must earn at least $13.51 per hour, and starting on January 1, 2016 an inside sales person must earn at least $15.01 per hour.
We recommend that now is the time for employers to review the pay that their exempt status and commissioned inside sales employees earn in order to comply with the minimum wage increases soon to be in effect. Adjusting these employees' pay proactively will help prevent the cost of penalties and interest on back pay, possible overtime premium pay due to the loss of exempt status by some employees, and litigation costs.

09.02.05 By Tim Foley: Vivian Harris
step it up!!! This is your time to shine and your golden opportunity has come, but only if you choose to step up to the plate. With the Arturo Gatti vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. fight seemingly flushed down the toilet, this should be your best chance to jump right into the elite 140 pound race. June 11th is a date that you should circle because Arturo Gatti will be in Atlantic City and you should be there as well.. Not as a spectator this time, but as the man staring across the ring from Gatti. I know this isnt the original fight that most boxing fans want, but seriously, does anybody want to see another Chop-Chop Corley fight or Henry Bruseles debacle?? Gatti-Harris could become one of the all-time classics and not only give boxing a unification bout that the fans love and the sport needs, but also launch you into star status win, lose, or draw.
You are a fighter who has lived anonymously since beating Diobelys Hurtado for the WBA Junior Welterweight title. Sure, you have had two good fights with Oktay Urkal in Germany, but how many people in the U.S. have seen these fights? And really, who is Oktay Urkal?! These are not the kind of title defending wins that will put people in the seats.
You are such a pressure fighter that Arturo Gatti couldnt help but come forward and try to slug with you. Your height and reach could probably give Gatti a ton of trouble considering Gatti now tries to stay on the outside and use his reach. You would be the one with the reach advantage and could probably give him hell. Gatti will have a packed house watching him fight at Boardwalk Hall, so you should try to make the fight. Not only that, but you will finally be in a televised fight against a world class fighter. How can you not lose in a situation like this?
Lets just say you get beat by Gatti, but its a good fight with a ton of punches and some blood mixed in. You may lose your title, but you will probably be in line for more television fights in the future that could make you more money than you did against Urkal. Youve already turned down a chance to fight Ricky Hatton over a money dispute, but you have to realize that if you turn down more fights, you will be relegated to fighting in small boxing halls and venues making a fraction of what you are worth.
Lets also look at the other scenario. What if you beat Gatti? You will have beating HBOs cash cow and launched yourself into the next status
the elite fighter at 140 lbs. If you can get by Gatti, Kostya Tszyu awaits for probably the biggest money fight of your career in front of a packed house in your hometown of N.Y.C. at Madison Square Garden.
I have to ask you, how many boxing fans would salivate over the chance to watch another title unification bout at 140 with the three major belts (WBC, WBA, and IBF) at stake? You need this fight
.lets be honest, BOXING needs this fight.
This is your time Vivian. You can have a good payday against Gatti, but if you win, the jackpot awaits.

we've been going out for a while now, and my boyfriend recently said "i want you" then blushed...what exactly does he mean...?
He means he wants you sexually.
Depends how far along the relationship isCould mean a number of thingsHe wants to... make out, practise foreplay, have sex, try something new ;PHe wanted you in a physical/sexual way
He wants you to be with him forever, he wants to have sex, He wants you to make out with him, he wants you to be horny with him. That's basically all a guy would say that for. Mainly number 1. or 2.
I agree with the first response.When my boyfriend says "i want you'' to me it means that he wants me sexually.
Yeah... when my boyfriend and I would be making out or cuddling and he'd tell me "I want you" I figured out that he meant he wanted ALL of me... AKA: he wanted me sexually. I'm assuming that's what your boyfriend means, too.
Have an opinion?

Well, let's check some obvious stuff (just in case). You're loading the camera and developing the paper in darkness or safelight suitable for the paper, correct (I never know what level people are working at when they're making oatmeal box pinhole cameras)? If you develop a sheet of the same paper straight out of the storage box, it should be completely white. Given this, put a sheet in your camera, put it out in the sun, and leave the pinhole covered. Let it sit there for five minutes or so, then take it into the darkroom and develop the sheet. If that sheet isn't also perfectly white, your camera has light leaks, and the solid black paper is just fogged from the time spent in the camera.
If that paper isn't fogged, then your exposure is mongo too long, which suggests your pinhole is much too large. For a standard oatmeal box, the hole should be pretty close to .018" or about 0.45 mm, which would give around f/300; assuming ISO equivalent of 6 for the paper (few papers are actually this fast), "Sunny 16" exposures should run between about 60 and 90 seconds (without correcting for reciprocity failure -- paper should be okay in this range), but if your hole is 1 mm (about .040"), you'd get a correctly exposed (if unnecessarily fuzzy) negative at about 20 seconds, and if the hole is 2 mm it would only require about 5 seconds. To turn completely black, though, the paper would have to be overexposed by much more than the two stops you'd get with 20 seconds and a 2 mm hole, so I'd guess your oatmeal box isn't anything like as light tight as you think.
Another quick test: with the hole closed, put a bright flashlight inside the box and close it, then look at it in your darkroom to check for leaks. Do it again with the flashlight the other direction, of course. If you see light anywhere other than the imaging pinhole, you need to seal up the leak.

The Unbearable Dumbness of Dreidel
How does this game possibly make any sense?
Hanukkah starts tonight, and Major League Dreidel is offering something called a Spinagogue, which is sort of a stadium for dreidel-spinning. The Spinagogue encourages you to aim to make your dreidel move impressively or in specific directions, or simply to make it spin for a really long time. Setting aside the obviously-made-by-and-for-people-who-are-high video (after the jump), there is actually something ingenious about it, in that it divorces the dreidel itself—the ceremonial Hanukkah spinning top—from the game that is basically synonymous with it. (Yeshiva U. also did this, yesterday setting a new Guinness World Record by simultaneously spinning 618 dreidels.)
Because—and here's my point—has anyone actually ever successfully played the game? You know the rules. You put your gelt in the center and take turns spinning. Get a gimel, you get the pot. Get a nun, nothing happens. get a hei, you get half the pot. Get a shin, you put back in the pot (depending on various rules I've played) one of your gelts, half your gelt, or all your gelt.
See the problem? The game is over basically right after it's begun! At best, it turns into some weird and boring stalemate-cum-lesson on fractions, in which you learn that if you keep halving a pile you will never get to zero. Moreover, the game requires none of those characteristics—wit, ingenuity, or even brute strength—that the Maccabes used to vanquish those evil Syrian bastards two thousand-plus years ago.
Oh, and raise your hand if you've ever actually made your dreidel out of clay? I thought so.
I'm going to let Howard Jacobson, writing in today's Times, have the last word:
How many years did I feign excitement when this nothing of a toy was produced? The dreidel would appear and the whole family would fall into some horrible imitation of shtetl simplicity, spinning the dreidel and pretending to care which character was uppermost when it landed. Who did we think we were—the Polish equivalent of the Flintstones?
BUT STILL: Happy almost-Hanukkah!

Readers can still interact with us free of charge via Facebook, Twitter, and our other social media channels, or write to us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Each week, we'll select the best letters and publish them in a new letters to the editor feature on the Scroll.
We hope this new largely symbolic measure will help us create a more pleasant and cultivated environment for all of our readers, and, as always, we thank you deeply for your support.
