College Hockey:After breakout season, Ferris State's Bonis wants more
Now the Bulldogs' captain, the winger looks to get the team back to the national stage.
Kyle Bonis and Ferris State came up one win short of the ultimate prize last season but it didn't cloud their view of the journey.
"Last year was very special," Bonis said. "It was by far my favorite year of hockey."
With good reason.
Entering last season, the left winger had managed just 19 points in 56 career games. A high-flying scorer with the Traverse City North Stars of the North American Hockey League, Bonis struggled to find his way most nights during his first two seasons with the Bulldogs.
"He saw action in 20-plus games each of his first two years," Bulldogs coach Bob Daniels said. "He was focused on trying to get himself into the lineup."
A former walk-on, Bonis' hard work and dedication helped him jump out quickly, scoring five goals in the first three games last season.
"He always scored in practice," Daniels said. "He has never coasted in practice. He needed to work on playing good, solid defense first. The offense would come later."
Bonis worked with assistant coaches Drew Famulak and Mark Kaufman as he went to task on improving his defensive game.
"Coming in, I was a scorer," Bonis said. "It's hard to create your space. Working with Coach Famulak, I am now trusting my own instincts. I try not to overthink things."
After suffering a seven-game pointless streak shortly after that great start, he stormed back in early November with a four-point weekend at home against Lake Superior State.
In December, he suffered another five-game pointless streak. While he was struggling personally, the Bulldogs also struggled, going 2-3 over that stretch. Daniels and his staff struggled to find ways to engage Bonis because the Bulldogs took several penalties and Bonis rarely saw the ice for long stretches as his team worked to kill them off.
"Last season Kyle was such a big part of our offense," Daniels said. "As a scorer, he wasn't used on the penalty kill. It would take him another five or six shifts just to back into the flow of the game."
He finished the season third on the team in scoring with 19 goals and 31 points in 43 games.
Awarded the team's captaincy this season, Bonis has worked with the Bulldogs' coaching staff on his short-handed play in attempt to find more ways to get him on the ice. But the rest of his game hasn't suffered — he has already notched a team-high six goals, four of them on the power play.
"As the captain, he's obviously front and center," Daniels said. "Kyle has excelled in every way. We wanted to get him on the [penalty kill] in order to keep him fresh, and he's done a good job."
Two weekends ago, Bonis scored his first game-winning goal of the season in a 3-1 victory over CCHA opponent Bowling Green. He added another goal and two assists in a huge weekend for the Bulldogs, who were looking for a little redemption against the Falcons, the team that knocked them out of the CCHA playoffs last season.
Before taking a chance on the Bulldogs, the Lindsay, Ontario, native took his game first to the Indiana Ice of the USHL in the 2007-08 season. With just three points in 11 games, Bonis moved from the Ice to the North Stars, scoring 41 points in 39 games and helping them to a fourth-place finish in the NAHL's North Division.
The following season, Bonis led the North Stars in scoring, netting 30 goals and 57 points, drawing the attention of Daniels and his staff along with other schools as well. He credits his coach in Traverse City, Anthony Palumbo, with helping him make the decision to forgo other offers and join the Bulldogs.
"Actually, Ferris State was the first team to talk to me, back when I was 16," Bonis said. "Coach Palumbo helped with my decision by telling me that Ferris wasn't a factory. They believe in their players."
During his first three seasons in Big Rapids, Bonis has had the chance to study under some great captains. Watching and listening to players like defenseman Chad Billins and center Jordie Johnston gave him excellent models for how to lead a college hockey team, and he is quick to credit them for what he learned.
"Chad was so calm, so composed," Bonis said. "He was kind of the voice of reason in the locker room. I've tried not to change too much in my new role."
The Bulldogs are 6-4-2 and ranked 17th in the USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll, but Bonis said he believes that the hockey world has yet to see the best the team has to offer, due in large part to injuries to top players.
"I think we need to find the right way to win," Bonis said. "I'm excited about this group. You know, we are going to win some and we are going to lose some. But if we can find the right way to win, we'll be there when it matters."
Daniels said he believes in his captain and the leadership he shows both in practice and games.
"He's an observer of the game," Daniels said. "He leads with how he comes in and works in practice. With all the freshmen we've been forced to play, Kyle's leading the whole time."
The only thing that will satisfy Daniels' captain is a return to the national stage. At this point, he is not focused on anything else.
"I'd like to leave no stone unturned here," Bonis said. "At this point, I'm not looking too far down the road."
Provided he can maintain his work ethic, Bonis is likely to make his senior season a special one, too.

Managing Your Construction Project Efficiently
When you are trying to manage a large construction project, you must remember that hardware canvassing is one of your biggest tasks. Looking for the right pieces of hardware at the right price and terms is complicated. You need to decide how you are going to make use of the hardware you find in create and simplified ways.
The Size Of The Hardware
When you have multiple construction jobs going on at the same time, you need to judge your rentals and purchases based on the size of the hardware. A small piece of machinery should be kept on each job site because it is probably needed to get the majority of the job done. Very large pieces of hardware need to be rationed to make sure that you can save costs.
The Schedule
You can schedule the arrival and usage of your hardware once you have made your plans. The small pieces of hardware for each job site will not be returned until those jobs are done. The large pieces of hardware need to be moved from one job site to another in the right order. When you are moving these larger items around, you can pay one price for the hardware, and you will be able to complete multiple jobs.
The Certification
When you make these plans, you must make sure that you have certified operators on all your work sites. If you have to move people around to get jobs done, you may lose productivity on each job site. You want to ensure that there is always a certified operator on each job site, and you want to be certain that you are able to use the machines when you rent them. Wasting even a day of a rental could be costly for your business and the project itself.
Your use of hardware canvassing is one of the most important parts of managing your construction business. You do not own all the items you need to get work done, but you cannot rent these items any way you choose. You must make sure that the rentals you do are going to be effective and efficient for your business. Setting up a schedule that ensures you save money on each job is going to help your business keep costs low. Also, you will be able to get work done on a job, move the machine off the site and move on to the next job quickly.

Soooo I might have swapped the curry powder for creole seasoning, and completely messed up the origins of this dish, aaand added balsamic zebra striped to the yogurt, but...it turned out delicious! I had to add a little extra salt, pepper and soy as the rice turned out a bit too minty at first! So that's a little tip for anyone attempting to make this dish!
The creole seasoning I've used is a very handy spice mix that I've used several times since I came across it, and it's got a bit of a kick to it, which is not a bad thing! I used it for the first time when I made Lamb Souvlaki, and here it is again! You can find the recipe for it under the ingredients for the chicken recipe!
Spiced Chicken with Rice & Crispy Red Onion
(Serves 2, about 550 calories each)
PS I added the cinnamon stick on top just for show, do not think this should be eaten, hehe!
2 chicken breasts, about 150 g each
1 tbsp sunflower oil
2 ts creole seasoning (or you can use curry powder)
1 large or 2 small red onions, thinly sliced
100 g brown rice (I use the 10 minute one!)
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp tumeric (or a pinch of saffron)
1 tbsp raisins
100 g frozen peas
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mint and coriander mixed
1 tbsp flora light (or light butter)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tbsp low/fat natural yogurt
Balsamic glaze for zebra yogurt! (optional)
For the creole seasoning:
(Makes one spice shaker's worth)
2 1/2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp cayenne pepper
1 tbsp dried oregano
1 tbsp dried thyme
- Pre-heat the oven to about 180°C. Place the chicken breasts in a roasting tin and brush with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Then drizzle over the seasoning. Thinly slice the onion, toss in the rest of the oil and place either in the roasting tin with the chicken, or a separate oven tray. Place it in the oven for about 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, about halfway into the cooking time (if you're using the quick rice, otherwise you might want to start as soon as the chicken and onion go in), boil up rice with about 300 ml water. Five minutes in, add the spices, cinnamon and raisins, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally. After another five minutes, add the peas and a tablespoon of light butter.
- Right before the chicken is done (check to see that it's cooked through, very important!), Plate up the rice, dollop two tablespoons of yogurt on each plate, place the chicken next to it, and optionally give the yogurt some fancy zebra stripes for added fanciness and a tiny bit of extra flavour!
I hope you enjoy!

"The brand valuation process ignores tempest, turbulence and volatility. On the contrary, it is deliberately designed to create an entirely illusory impression of permanence and stability. "
"People are looking for authenticity especially in saturated markets. A lot of big brands will have to manoeuvre quickly to deal with this change. It might be very hard for some of them to market authenticity."
Wally, interview for Designboom
"The fundamental idea behind an identity programme is that in everything the organisation does, everything it owns, and everything it produces, it should project a clear idea of what it is and what its aims are."

A private memorial honoring Marine Capt. Nathan W. Anderson was held Wednesday afternoon at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Yuma, Ariz., the Associated Press reported.
Anderson, 32, of Amarillo, was one of seven Marines killed after two military helicopters collided near the Arizona-California border Feb. 21 during a nighttime training exercise. Anderson was based at the Yuma air station with his wife and two children, the AP reported. He was assigned to Marine Aviation Weapons and Tactics Squadron One, the AP said.
Anderson graduated from Amarillo High School in 1998. He was a starting linebacker on the 1997 football team that made the state quarterfinals, and coaches remembered him as an outstanding scholar and athlete.
Amarillo High School track coach Jim Langdon said Anderson surprised his coaches when he told them he would join the military after graduating.
"He was such an outstanding student we were all thinking he'd be an accountant, a doctor and all that," said Jim Langdon, Amarillo High's track coach. "When he informed us he was going in the Marine Corps, it was kind of a shock, but his personality fit that."
Anderson was commissioned in the Marine Corps in December 2002 and served as a UH-1 Huey pilot, the AP reported. Anderson received several military awards for serving three deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the AP said.

Mayor's Office
Mayor William R. (Ronnie) Marks
Welcome to the City of Athens, a city that is Classic. Southern. Character.
Athens has been a Classic since 1818 when Athens incorporated as a city before Alabama became a state. In 1819, voters made Athens the county seat of Limestone County.
Since settlers first came to the area in the early 1800s for rich farm dirt, the city has grown into a commercial and industrial hub of 24,000 residents. Athens offers commercial growth on its interstate corridors and major highways, as well as development opportunities at its industrial parks. In 2013, the city was named the No. 3 Most Business Friendly City in Alabama.
As our city has grown, it has maintained its charm. Athens is still Southern. That is most evident in downtown Athens and around The Square. In Athens, going to "The Square" is a place to make memories. Our lives have been spent grabbing an ice cream cone, strolling along the sidewalks, and resting on a bench by the dogwood trees. The historic Limestone County Courthouse is the backdrop for parades, high school pep rallies, storytelling, and art events, and is surrounded by a retail area to shop for unique merchandise and dine on divine cuisine.
Our quality of life is one reason Athens is the No. 2 city in the nation for having the fastest growing middle class, according to a 2015 NerdWallet study. Niche.com also states Athens is No. 63 in the nation for Best Town to Buy a House, No. 6 in the state for Best Towns to Raise a Family, and No. 3 for Safest City in Alabama.
These accolades highlight that Athens has Character. You'll find events distinctive to Athens, such as the Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention and Athens Grease Festival. You'll discover notable stories, such as a Union Civil War fort where runaway slaves fought and were captured and later got an education, telling us the saga of slave, to soldier, to student. You'll enjoy time with your family exploring our National Recreation Trail and various culture trails, playing at our Sportsplex, and touring our Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives
When you visit Athens, I invite you to take a stroll on our sidewalks, to take a tour of our sites, and to take time to hear our stories. Discover for yourself why our city is Classic. Southern. Character.
Looking forward to meeting you,
William R. "Ronnie" Marks

Rod Carey, who spent the last two seasons on the coaching staff of the most successful teams ever at Northern Illinois, was named the 22nd head football coach in school history on Dec. 2, 2012. The 41-year old was promoted after serving as NIU's offensive coordinator during most of the 2012 season. On the same day Carey was introduced as the new head coach, Northern Illinois made history as the first Mid-American Conference team invited to play in a Bowl Championship Series (BCS) bowl game. Carey coached the Huskies in the bowl game, a 31-10 loss to Florida State. He spent his first two seasons at NIU helping guide two of the most prolific offenses in school history as the Huskies won back-to-back MAC championships and 11-or-more games each year. In 2012 Carey added run game coordinator to his duties as offensive line coach. Already faced with replacing five starters on the offensive line Carey assumed offensive coordinator duties after the first game of the year. In his first season at NIU, Carey mentored two All-Americans and three all-conference selections. Center Scott Wedige and left tackle Trevor Olson were named All-Americans by CBSSports.com and Phil Steele's magazine, respectively.
A three-year starter at center for Indiana, Carey served as a team captain and won IU's Corby Davis Outstanding Offensive Player Award as a senior, playing for former Northern Illinois head coach Bill Mallory. He earned his bachelor's degree from Indiana in 1994. Carey joined the Huskies after three seasons as the offensive line coach at the University of North Dakota. His line paved the way for UND 1,000-yard rusher Josh Murray (1,146 yards) in 2008 and for the No. 2 running back in the Great West Conference a year later. Five of Carey's offensive linemen earned GWC all-conference honors in his last three seasons. Prior to going to North Dakota, Carey spent the 2007 season as the offensive line coach at Illinois State. From 2000-06, Carey coached at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. His offensive units averaged nearly 400 yards per game during his seven seasons and set 14 records, including the all-time conference rushing record. In all, Carey coached 26 all-conference selections and seven All-Americans during his time at UW-Stout. A native of Wayzata, Minn., Carey began his collegiate coaching career at the University of Minnesota (1998-99) where he helped the Gophers to their first bowl game in over a decade with a trip to the 1999 Sun Bowl. Prior to UM, he spent four seasons in the high school ranks at his alma mater, Wayzata (Minn.) High School, from 1994-97. Carey and his wife Tonya have two children, daughter Kennedi (8) and son Charlie (6).

BACK IN THE MAC: The two-time Mid-American Conference defending champion Northern Illinois Huskies jump into league play Saturday as they take on the Kent State Golden Flashes in a rematch of the 2012 Marathon MAC Championship Game.
ROAD WARRIORS: NIU is one of only five FBS teams to play four of its first five games of 2013 on the road, a stretch that concludes with the trip to Kent State. Toledo, Utah State and Ole Miss are also on the road for four of their first five games, while Florida Atlantic plays five of its first six contests away from home. NIU, along with Ole Miss, FAU and Houston (which has two open dates) will not play its second home game of 2013 until October 12.
MAC STREAKING: The Huskies own the longest conference winning streak in the nation at 17 games as NIU has not lost to a Mid-American opponent since falling at Central Michigan (48-41) in its 2011 league opener. NIU won the remainder of its MAC games that season and the title game, then swept through conference play a year ago before defeating Kent State in Detroit.
ROAD STREAKING: NIU's current 11-game winning streak in road games ranks as the second-longest in the country behind only Oregon's 16 straight wins on the road. The Huskies have not lost on the road since dropping a 48-41 decision to Central Michigan on Oct. 1, 2011, and are unbeaten in three road trips this season.
RANKINGS RE-ENTRY: The 4-0 Huskies re-entered the national rankings at No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll this week with 131 points. NIU is just outside the Top 25 at 26th in the Associated Press poll with 104 points. The Huskies' ranking in Week 6 is the earliest appearance in the Top 25 by an NIU team since 2003. NIU is ranked for the third time in the last four seasons.
B1G BUSTER?: With its 55-24 win over Purdue last Saturday, NIU is now 4-4 in its last eight games versus Big Ten Conference opponents and became the first Mid-American Conference team to defeat two Big Ten opponents in one season. The Huskies' 55 points at Purdue were the most ever scored by a MAC team versus the Big Ten and its 31-point victory margin tied for the largest versus the B1G in league history.
HUSKIES IN THE MAC: NIU is 115-90-2 all-time in MAC games with a 79-45 (.637) record in league play since 1997. The Huskies have won 22 of their last 23 and 27 of their last 31 MAC regular season contests. Northern Illinois enters its 28th season as a member of the Mid-American Conference in 2013-14; the 2013 season is NIU's 17th in the MAC since rejoining the league in 1997.
CONFERENCE OPENERS: NIU is 10-17 all-time in MAC openers, with a 6-10 mark since rejoining the league in 1997. The Huskies have won three of its last four MAC openers, including last year's 55-24 win over Central Michigan.
THE MAC ROAD: All-time, Northern Illinois is 50-52-1 (.490) in 103 Mid-American Conference road games. The Huskies have posted a 29-13 (.690) record versus MAC foes on the road since 2002 and are 36-26 (.581) on the road versus league teams since rejoining the MAC in 1997.
FILL THE BONEYARD: With wins over a pair of Big Ten Conference opponents in 2013, NIU will add two dog bones (stickers) to the wall in its locker room. The Huskies have 13 wins over teams from a Bowl Championship Series (BCS) automatic qualifying league. NIU's first boneyard win came versus Kansas on Sept. 3, 1983. For the complete list of NIU's Boneyard wins, see the chart in this release on page 7.
HOME STATERS: There are a trio of Ohio-ans on the Huskie roster in 2013 and two of them are expected to make the trip back to their home state with the Huskies this week. True freshman running back Aregeros (Are-GARE-oce) Turner (Copley, OH/Copley HS) and junior running back James Spencer (Fresmont, OH/Ross HS) have seen action in reserve roles for the Huskies this year. True freshman kicker Josh Brebant (Copley, OH/Copley HS) is the remaining player from Ohio on the NIU roster.
HOME SWEET HOME: NIU extended the longest FBS home stadium winning streak in the country to 22 games with its 43-39 win over Eastern Illinois Sept. 21 at Huskie Stadium. The Huskies' streak dates back to Sept. 26, 2009, when NIU dropped a 34-31 decision to Idaho. Ninety-six players on this year's roster have never experienced a loss on Brigham Field with only the Huskies' nine fifth-year seniors on hand the last time NIU lost a game at home. NIU next plays at home Saturday, Oct. 12, when it plays host to Akron.
SIX STRAIGHT: Northern Illinois leads the all-time series with Kent State 17-7 and has won the last six games between the teams dating back to 2001. The Huskies are just 6-5 in games played in Kent, with a 40-10 win on a snowy evening in 2008 on NIU's last trip to Dix Stadium. In MAC competition, NIU leads the all-time series 15-3, including last year's 44-37 double overtime victory in the MAC Championship game.
FROSH FACES: Two more true freshmen got into their first collegiate game last weekend at Purdue as NIU took the red shirts off of linebackers Sean Folliard and Jamaal Payton. They join classmates Mycial Allen (S), Aregeros Turner (WR) and Austin Smaha (DE) as true freshmen who have seen playing time this year. The Huskies have also played 11 redshirt freshmen in 2013. Redshirt DT Mario Jones is the only freshman to make a start this year.
OPPORTUNISTS: NIU ranks sixth in the country in turnover margin and is fifth in turnovers gained. The Huskies have capitalized by scoring 50 points off of turnovers on the season, including six scored by Jimmie Ward on a 62-yard interception return at Purdue. Versus the Boilermakers, NIU turned five turnovers into a season-best 17 points. Eastern Illinois' turnovers resulted in two Huskie touchdowns, while Idaho miscues resulted in 10 NIU points. The Huskies also added nine points after Iowa turnovers . The points off of turnovers has accounted for nearly 30 percent of the Huskies' scoring this year.
SAFETY DANCE: NIU safeties Jimmie Ward and Dechane Durante have been the chief thieves in the Huskie secondary this season as the two share the team lead in interceptions with three each. They also lead the MAC and are tied for fifth in the country in interceptions. Durante had a pair of INTs at Purdue, while Ward picked off his third pass of the season and returned it 62 yards for the first interception return touchdown of his career, and the first for NIU since Durante's return for a score in the 2012 GoDaddy.com Bowl. Ward and Durante are also battling for the career lead in pickoffs among current Huskie defenders as both have seven career INTs. The Huskies have eight interceptions through a third of the season after recording 15 pickoffs in 14 games a year ago.
MEET YOU AT THE QB: After taking down Purdue's quarterbacks three times, the Huskie defense now ranks second in the nation in quarterback sacks with 17 on the season. NIU posted nine sacks (one off the school record) at Idaho and five versus EIU and is averaging 4.25 sacks per game, just behind Memphis' 4.33 average. Ten players have been in on the "sack party," led by sophomore defensive end Perez Ford, who has 3.5 sacks on the season. Ford, redshirt freshman DT Mario Jones and sophomore MLB Boomer Mays have all recorded their first career QB sacks this season.
LEADING THE D: After playing with a cast on his left hand to protect a broken finger suffered in preseason camp for the first three games, senior safety Jimmie Ward was cast-free versus Purdue. The cast did not stop the Mobile, Ala. native from leading the Huskie defense with 39 tackles and three interceptions through four games. Ward made arguably the biggest play of the Iowa game with his one-handed interception with 1:17 to play and the score tied 27-27. He stepped in front of a Jake Rudock pass to the sideline, setting up the Huskies' game-winning field goal. Ward's 28 solo stops on the season rank fifth in the country and lead the MAC.
RETURN ON: Tommylee Lewis scored on a kickoff return for the fourth time in his career at Purdue when he took the second half kickoff back 99 yards for a score. The kickoff return score was the fourth of Lewis' career, adding to the school record he tied as a freshman with two KOR returns in the same game at Toledo (also a record), and broke last year with a kickoff return score at Eastern Michigan. On Saturday, Lewis was untouched on his way to the end zone. The Huskie junior's career kickoff return average of 25.4 yards is a school record, while his 1,524 total kickoff return yards ranks tied for second all-time at NIU.
ALL-PURPOSE: The term might as well have been invented for Tommylee Lewis. The 5-7 Floridian leads NIU in catches (26) and kickoff returns (6-180), ranks second on the team in receiving yards (239) and third in rushing yards (124) after a 104-yard rushing game at Idaho. With Angelo Sebastiano sidelined, he added punt return duties in the last two games. Lewis, a Paul Hornung Award candidate, is averaging 138.75 all-purpose yards per game, third in the league and 32nd in the nation, and also ranks 36th in the country in catches per game.
FIELD GOAL FOCUS: NIU senior kicker Mathew Sims has made nine of his first 10 field goals this season to play a big role in three of the Huskies' four wins this year. He ranks third in the country in field goals/game and is 26th nationally in field goal percentage. At Idaho, Sims hit a 51-yard field goal with 10:49 to play to give the Huskies a 38-35 lead. The field goal was the second-longest of Sims' career (he made a school-record 54-yard kick vs. Western Michigan in 2012) and tied for the fifth-longest in school history. At Iowa, Sims made his third career game-winner when he hit a 36-yarder with four seconds to play to lift NIU to a 30-27 win.
EFFICIENCY: Jordan Lynch had a passing efficiency rating of 181.15 versus Purdue as he completed 18-of-25 passes for 207 yards with three touchdown passes and no interceptions. Lynch completed 16-of-20 passes in the first half and connected on 11 straight throws as part of a 14-of-15 start. Lynch's passing efficiency rating at Purdue cannot compare to back-up quarterback Matt McIntosh's numbers. After going one-for-one passing for an 18-yard touchdown during fourth-quarter duties at Purdue, McIntosh's passing efficiency for the season stands at 581.20.
LYNCH BIG VERSUS THE BIG TEN: In leading NIU to a pair of wins over teams from the Big Ten Conference this season, Jordan Lynch completed 43-of-66 passes (65.1%) with six touchdown passes and no interceptions, and ran for 91 yards and one touchdown on 31 carries. With a perfect non-conference season in 2013, he has improved his record as the Huskies' starter to 16-2.
SELECT COMPANY: In the Purdue game, Jordan Lynch became only the 26th FBS quarterback all-time to gain 2,000 rushing and 4,000 passing yards in a career. He enters Saturday's game with 4,186 passing and 2,862 rushing yards. Lynch completed 18-of-25 passes for 207 yards with three touchdown passes Saturday vedrsus the Boilermakers. With 138 rushing yards, he will become just the 10th FBS quarterback to have 3,000 rushing and 4,000 passing yards. Lynch ranks second (behind only his predecessor, four-year starter Chandler Harnish) on the Huskies' all-time total offense chart with 7,048 yards.
COME-FROM-BEHIND HUSKIES: NIU has come from behind to win three of its four game this season. After jumping out to an early 10-0 lead at Iowa, the Huskies trailed the Hawkeyes 24-17 at halftime. At Idaho on Sept. 14, the Vandals led NIU 28-14 at halftime, while Eastern Illinois jumped out to a 20-0 first quarter lead on the Huskies Sept. 21. NIU used a last-second field goal to defeat Iowa, 30-27, and scored 31 of the last 38 points of the game to claim a 45-35 win at Idaho. Versus Eastern Illinois, the Huskies scored 30 straight points, then trailed again 39-36, before coming back again in the fourth quarter to claim the 43-39 win.
THE HARD WAY: Over the years, the NIU football program has adopted the motto "The Hard Way" based on the Huskies' ability to battle adversity and overcome obstacles while winning games. Lately "The Hard Way" - which dates back to the Joe Novak era - has often extended to the game itself. In winning 37 of its last 45 games since the start of the 2010 season, NIU is 13-5 in games decided by seven points or less. The Huskies are 2-0 this season in close games, defeating Iowa and Eastern Illinois by three and four points, respectively. NIU went 4-1 in close games a year ago and won five of seven tight contests in the nailbiting season of 2011. Both years ended in MAC Championships.
CARRYING THE LOAD: NIU linebacker-turned-tailback Cameron Stingily has continued to progress in his new role as one of NIU's featured tailbacks. Stingily led NIU in rushing for the first time this year with 72 tough yards on 15 carries versus Purdue. He is averaging an impressive 5.1 yards per carry with 310 total yards on 61 totes. Stingily enjoyed his best day as a Huskie versus Eastern Illinois with 134 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. Six times in that game, the 6-1, 244-pound junior got the ball in short yardage (third or fourth down with two or less yards) and carried would-be tacklers for the first down. Stingily also showed burst with a 46-yard run, the longest of his career. A two-way player in high school, Stingily spent his first two seasons on the NIU roster as a linebacker.
NO FUN: Eastern Illinois Head Coach Dino Babers on Cameron Stingily, "That guy's a bull," Babers said. "That was not fun. There's a lot of times when you're an old man, you wish you could go out there and play the game one more time. Not with him running the ball. I was fine just standing on the sideline coaching."
PLAYING LIKE SENIORS: The Huskies' 2013 roster includes 17 seniors; 12 on the defensive side of the ball with seven of those on the NIU defensive line. The Huskie defensive line seniors are George Rainey, Ken Bishop, Joe Windsor, Stephen O'Neal, Anthony Wells and Zach Anderson. At defensive back, Jimmie Ward, Jhony Faustin, Dominique Ware and Sean Evans are the backbone of the Huskies' secondary. Northern Illinois has three seniors on the offensive line in Matt Krempel, Jared Volk and Matt Battaglia, who redshirted last year due to injury and returned for his final season. Quarterback Jordan Lynch, kicker Mathew Sims and special teamer Nate McNeal round out the active group.Tailback Akeem Daniels remains sidelined with a foot injury.
GRADS: The Northern Illinois roster includes five players who have already earned their undergraduate degrees. Offensive tackle Matt Krempel earned his degree in health sciences (pre-physical therapy) in Spring of 2012 and is well on his way to a graduate degree. Fellow offensive lineman Jared Volk and safety Dominique Ware graduated from the NIU College of Business in May 2013, while offensive lineman Matt Battaglia (history) and quarterback Jordan Lynch (kinesiology/exercise science) completed their degrees this past summer.
LYNCH FOR 6: After dipping its toe in the Heisman campaign waters last November, Northern Illinois embarked on an aggressive effort this offseason. In June, a revamped JordanLynchFor6.com website, complete with video, quotes, notes and stats, launched along with a re-branded Facebook page and new @LynchFor6 Twitter feed. Every day, a new fact about Lynch is tweeted out with the hashtag #LynchLines. In late July, the Huskies mailed "Lunch with Lynch" boxes to approximately 600 Heisman voters, complete with reporter's notepad and a postcard urging reporters to follow Lynch this season.
LOOKING AHEAD: Next Saturday, NIU returns to Huskie Stadium to play host to Akron in a 4 p.m. contest. Northern Illinois will celebrate its 107th Homecoming, will induct a new class into its Athletics Hall of Fame and will welcome some of the greatest football teams in school history back to campus. Members of the Huskies' 1963 National Championship team, 1983 MAC Championship squad and groundbreaking 2003 team will hold reunions, and former Head Coach Joe Novak and All-MAC offensive lineman Ryan Diem are among those who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
THIRD DEGREE: Northern Illinois has outscored its opponents 48-13 in the third quarter of its four games this season and did not allow a team to score in the third period until the third game of the year. The Huskies own an 85-43 edge on its opponents in the second half. At Purdue, the Huskies "won" every quarter except the fourth (7-7), but still trail their opponents in scoring in the first quarter by a 48-33 margin.
TRAINING GROUND: Five current FBS head coaches previously coached at NIU, beginning with Minnesota's Jerry Kill and N.C. State's Dave Doeren. Kill served as the Huskies' head coach from 2008-10, while Doeren was in DeKalb in 2011 and `12. New Syracuse head coach Scott Schaefer spent eight seasons (1996-2003) at NIU as defensive coordinator /defensive backs coach under Joe Novak while new Western Michigan head coach P.J. Fleck played at NIU (2000-03) and then returned to coach wide receivers from 2007-09. Georgia State head coach Trent Miles spent the 1991-94 campaigns with the Huskies as wide receivers coach.

Punta de Mita Beaches
Published Sep 30, 2005 - (Updated Aug 29, 2013)
One of two beaches on this pretty peninsula at the northern tip of Banderas Bay, (the other is El Anclote, a little further down the road). Access is through Punta de Mita's Emiliano Zapata neighborhood, which is the first turn-off on the left, just after the turn-off to Sayulita on the right. Keep to the left and follow the road all the way to the beach. While there are no restaurants or facilities here, (although facilities were under construction when we wrote this), this is an ideal beach for strolling, for absorbing incredible beauty and tangy sea air. At a leisurely pace it can be walked in about half an hour, or an hour round trip.

The MTSU chapter of Young Americans for Liberty will hold a political debate on civil liberties between a liberal, a conservative, and a libertarian Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. in the State Farm Room of the Business and Aerospace Building on campus.
This debate is the third event of a four-stop Civil Liberties College Tour, which brings together liberal Glenn Greenwald, conservative Bruce Fein and libertarian Jacob Hornberger to discuss the greatest threats to Americans' civil liberties and constitutional rights.
The tour will visit Columbia University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Middle Tennesee State University and The Ohio State University throughout the week.
Greenwald, a noted writer for Salon.com, will present arguments from a liberal perspective.
Fein, who served as associate deputy attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, will offer a conservative's viewpoint, and Hornberger, president of The Future of Freedom Foundation, will make a libertarian case for individual rights.
Topics to be covered include the PATRIOT Act, extraordinary rendition, torture, regime change, habeas corpus, and a general discussion about how the war on terrorism has impacted the rights of U.S. citizens.
The event, which is free and open to the public, will be live streamed online.
More than 300 students are expected to attend.
Learn more about this event and the other three stops of the Civil Liberties College Tour by visiting www.YALiberty.org/tour.

Price: $48.00
In the Andes mountains at elevations of more than 12,000 feet, open trenches accessible only by mule yield gleaming stones, including lapis lazuli, the national stone of Chile. The Inca kingdom flourished in this part of the world, and today jewelers in family-owned shops in Santiago draw on geometric Inca designs to create pieces that blend history and geography into wearable art. The tapered forms of these lapis lazuli, turquoise, jasper, chrysocolla, and pyrite stones, outlined in sterling silver, echo the shape of ancient stone doorways found at Incan ruins.

Ever wonder how young Tom Swift, Jr. got his start? Surely, he didn't just appear at the age of 18, almost fully grown and in possession of the world's largest flying vehicle, his Sky Queen, and already a respected inventor and scientist.
This is the story about how Tom got his start. The story about his first major invention.
It is 1942 and Tom is almost desperate to help the war effort. He only has a few things going against him: he has no idea what he wants to invent; he receives a quarter dollar allowance each week, and; he is only eight years old!
But, his IS Tom Swift, after all!

Dr. Susanne Bennett, author of The 7-Day Allergy Makeover, says that approximately 55 percent of Americans suffer from allergies. Most Americans are allergic to something: pollen, dander, dairy products, gluten, and mold are just a few of the most common allergens.
People think their low energy, problems with digestion, or headaches are "normal" when in fact, they may be the signs of undiagnosed allergic reactions.
Here are some of the most important things Dr. Bennett says people need to know about allergies:
Allergens don't always predictably affect the body. Allergic sensitivities to food, such as sugar, can cause joint pain due to inflammation. Gluten sensitivity can produce lethargy and brain fog. Likewise, inhaling mold doesn't simply affect breathing. It can also cause headaches and itchy skin. Many chemicals, such as MSG or artificial sweeteners can even affect emotional well-being, producing nervousness and anxiety.
The environment is loaded with allergens. Drugs and creams don't actually treat allergies.
Americans spend over $4 billion to fight allergies each year. Drugs and creams merely mask
symptoms without addressing the root causes.
Antihistamines and other drugs may provide temporary relief, but their use is often accompanied by side effects. People who use these medications may be making their allergies worse.
If you're using beauty products and soaps with chemicals in them (sodium lauryl sulfate, parabens, and phthalates, just to name a few) you are wearing your body down with chemical allergens. Your pores are permeable; you will absorb whatever you apply on your skin.
One of the most common allergies is to soy. While avoiding dairy is essential for healing many allergies, replacing it with soy can cause terrible digestion and fatigue. Almond or coconut are options instead.
There are seven types of foods that cause the majority of food allergies: dairy products, gluten products (wheat, barley and rye), sugar, alcohol, peanuts, eggs, and mold-containing foods (such as many dried fruits, moldy cheeses, and mushrooms).
Runny noses and itchy eyes can be due to more than pollen. Pollen allergies are seasonal and usually disappear once pollen-producing plants stop releasing it into the air. If you have typical hay fever symptoms (runny nose, watery eyes, swelling, and itchiness) that last year-round, you may actually have mold allergies.
Mold is common in any damp area in the home, such as bathrooms and basements. While black mold is visible to the eye, many other forms of mold are not as easy to spot and will build up in humid areas. Mold can also be ingested when we eat certain foods, such as peanuts, dried fruits, green salads and moldy cheese (Roquefort blue cheese, brie cheese). These should be avoided for mold-sensitive individuals.
Tap water in won't produce acute allergic symptoms, but it is filled with chemicals to which people have allergic sensitivities. Many people experience itchiness and discomfort after swimming in a chlorinated pool, yet they drink it almost daily in their tap water. Other chemicals, (arsenic, mercury, fluoride, uranium) are allowed in tap water. A carbon-filtered reverse osmosis water purifier is essential to help deal with allergens in our water.
There are over three trillion bacteria in your gut and they help process and digest foods and extract nutrients that your body could not do on its own. Howeverwe may ingest bad bacteria that hurt our digestive systems.
Bad bacteria in our gut make it more difficult to process what are known as fermentable carbohydrates, the short-chain sugars found in beans, broccoli, cabbage, and pitted fruits such as peaches, plums and cherries. Humans have a difficult time digesting these fermentable sugars because we lack the enzymes to break them down. Intolerance to fermentable carbs can produce terrible bloating, gas, cramping, and constipation. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is often the direct result of allergic sensitivities produced by bad gut bacteria.
Industrial production depends upon what are known as volatile organic compounds or VOCs. Compounds such as formaldehyde are found in many glues, vinyl products, paints, fuels, carpet and plastics.
Furniture made of particleboard will often use formaldehyde in its glue, while the "new car smell" is actually that of volatile organic compounds in the paint, leather, carpet and glue. VOCs can produce a host of allergic symptoms, such as itchy throat, headaches, brain fog, and confusion.
If you've ever woken up irritable, with poor concentration, and with low energy, you might be having a "sugar hangover." If you eat too much fruit and sugar, the yeast and mold that are common in the gut will begin to ferment it. This fermentation produces an autointoxication that is similar to what happens when you drink too much alcohol.
Allergies can be healed all-naturally.
Allergies can be healed all-naturally, without drugs, creams, or medication. By improving the quality of seven key areas in our lives, we can rid ourselves of the buildup of allergens and toxins in the body.
Dr. Bennett believes that if you're dealing with chronic symptoms every day, then you have hidden allergies that are preventing you from feeling good and achieving your optimal state of health.

A week or so ago I posted about travelling from Colorado to Florida and going through the southern tip of Illinois.....
Well I did it. Travelled down I55 in MO then crossed into IL near Cairo and then into KY. Everything was done legally.... That is unloaded pistols in a gun box in the trunk of the car. Don't know if it was necessary but I placed the loaded magazines in another container also in the trunk.
I measured the "distance I travelled in IL..... I started my tripometer in the middle of the bridge while crossing the Mississippi and stopped it in the middle of the bridge crossing the Ohio River into KY
Total distance ---- 1.4 miles.......:aargh4::aargh4::aargh4:
I didn't actually measure the distance of "land travel" in IL, but I would estimate it to be a fraction of a mile.
I was legal but it was a major pain in the butt.:wave::wave:

Top-Down or Bottom-Up
By Bob Hueston on Dec 27, 2006
Many times I'm approached by a frustrated engineer who was just handed a vague project description, a hypothetical list of engineers, and a highly aggressive delivery date, and asked to produce a detailed schedule and project plan. They're usually bewildered, and sometimes furious. They don't understand how a senior manager can come up with a delivery date before any detailed planning has started, and before the requirements are well defined. What they don't realize is that the high-level plan, with vague requirements, rough cost and target delivery date, is an item in a strategic plan. They've been handed a top-down plan -- a natural process of the flow-down of corporate goals and business unit objectives -- and they've been asked for the bottom-up plan. While the top-down plan lacks details and specifics, it is useful to have a framework for creating the bottom-up detailed plan; the bottom-up plan is then used to adjust the overall product strategy, and may result in changes in strategy.
In one particular case, an engineer had been given vague requirements and sent off to come up with a tactical project plan. She worked with me to flesh out the requirements, tasks, staffing, and schedule. In the process, we discovered that the project was far more complicated than it originally appeared -- there were dependencies on other business units, dependencies on new hardware features, and in order to avoid any chance of silent data corruption the software needed to be very complex. When the cost and schedule was far beyond what the company was willing to pay, we looked at features to drop and ways to bring in the schedule. In the end, the best proposal would simply not meet the strategic plan. She presented her results to upper management, and told them they had to change their strategic plan; they either had to allocate more money, more time, or drop the feature from their strategic plan. They chose to drop the feature. The engineer felt like a failure, but in fact she was successful in her task -- she demonstrated that the strategic plan was not achievable, and with the detailed analysis she had done, she convinced management to change their strategic plans. That's far more valuable than just saying "yes sir" and then a year later failing to deliver the feature.
In another case, I had a senior engineer come to me because he was not given a top-down plan. He was told that a new technology was going to be available from third-party vendors, and he should come up with a plan to deliver the software support. He had to come up with both the strategic plan and the tactical plan, something he had never done before, and he had no idea where to start. He could do all the work himself, but it would take five years; or he could use a large staff and get all the features done quickly. But without a top-down plan, without a strategy, he had no frame of reference.
So we sat down and started to work out the strategic top-down plan:
- Schedule
When would we want to deliver the product? Turns out the hardware that supports the new technology would be shipping in 18 months, but it was unlikely it would be widely used until 24 months from today. So the strategic delivery date would be in 18 months, with a fallback plan to deliver prototype software in 18 months with a solid product no later than 24 months.
- Requirements
The things you could do with this new technology were vast. So we decided to triage the requirements into must-haves, nice-to-haves, and non-requirements. Since this new hardware would be replacing existing hardware, the "must have" requirements were to allow customers to transition smoothly from current hardware to new hardware, without any loss of functionality, but with significantly improved performance. The ability to take advantage of new features in the hardware were "nice to haves". And a small subset of features weren't even going to be supported in the hardware next year, so those became non-requirements.
- Cost
The main cost was going to be staff, and the number of engineers could be small, or large. So I asked this engineer what would be "optimal." There were three key areas that needed development and he could probably do any one of them in 18 months; although, it was unlikely that the project would get three senior engineers. But one of the pieces was big and could be split in two and handled by two junior engineers. So the answer was three or four development engineers for 18 months.
We now had a top-down strategic plan: Three or four engineers would deliver the full set of legacy features plus some new features, and would deliver the product in 18 to 24 months to align with hardware availability. This engineer was actually surprised how our analysis had produced a top-down plan that sounded a lot like the sort of plan his manager usually gave him (which he had always assumed was just made up without any thought at all).
With the top-down plan, the engineer was able to work on the bottom-up plan, defining tasks, assigning tasks to his ficticious engineers, and seeing which requirements could be accomplished in 18 to 24 months. At first, he was unable to get the tactical plan to exactly match the strategic plan, but with the flexibility in the strategic plan, he was able to adjust both plans until they did matched.
This isn't too different from the way we approach projects in our everyday life. Last year I had some work done on my house. I started with a vision, a strategic plan:
- I had a home improvement loan (cash, burning a hole in my pocket).
- I had to replace the siding and so some repairs (must-have requirements), but I also wanted to add a bay window and a back porch (nice-to-have requirements).
- I wanted the work finished before the start of Summer (I didn't want construction waste around the house while children were playing in the yard).
Then I set out to define my tactics. I could do the work myself. That would meet my budget, I wasn't sure I could actually manage lifting a bay window, but I knew I could never finish before Summer (of this year, at least). So my wife quickly eliminated that tactic and had me contact a bunch of contractors, all with good reputations and a long list of references. I sat down with each one and explained my strategic vision, what I wanted (needs plus desires), when I wanted it (I shaved off a few weeks), and about how much I could afford to spend (I gave a low-balled figure, of course). Then each contractor provided a proposal:
- The first contractor could meet price and features, but was booked until the end of September.
- The second contractor proposed vinyl siding over the existing siding, and an aluminum window (which wouldn't match the existing wood windows). The cost was low and the schedule was fantastic, but it didn't really meet my quality requirements.
- The third contractor was a meticulous craftsman. He presented detailed materials lists, estimates, and sketches of what the house would look like when he was done, but his cost estimate was far more than I could afford.
- The fourth contractor was a little high on price, but he was able to get the work done by the end of June, and would use high quality cedar siding and top-of-the-line windows.
In a large company, the engineering project lead often plays the role of the contractor. Or more specifically, the project lead represents all of the contractors. The engineer will get a strategic plan which is unachievable in totality, so they will come up with their best guess at a detailed plan. Management will tell them the schedule is too far out, come up with another plan. The second plan will meet schedule but cost too much. The third plan will drop too many features. Finally, the project lead will come up with a plan that doesn't meet the original requirements, schedule or costs, and management can either accept it, or change their strategy. It can be a frustrating process for the engineer (just as I'm sure it's frustrating for a contractor to put together a proposal and still be passed over); and it can be an equally frustrating process for management (and the homeowner). But it is the process most people use to synergize their unachievable strategic plans with the cold hard facts of the tactical situation.

Hotline Miami Review - Violence Mixed With Madness
More games are exploring difficulty as a premise . Lot's of people find difficulty rewarding when they complete a level. The harder it is, the more sweeter success is. FTL, an indie game I recently reviewed was just like that. But it didn't just hang on to difficulty as the only saving grace. It was quite random... something many would say was unfair about it. Today however, I'm going to talk about a game that has got a bit of press recently. Hotline Miami.
Hotline Miami is a top down shooter/brawler that looks suspiciously like the old school Grand Theft Auto games. However, here... it's all about clearing the room to finish the level. The game is pretty simple with a clear objective—clear out the level. Kill every single one of the enemy. Use your fists, guns, all manner of guns, or even heck... doors! It is grotesquely violent in an animated pixely way. You get scored by how well you did at the end of every level.
The violence is quite over the top for such throwback style graphics. Split open a head, eyeballs drop out, crawling injured enemies make a trail of blood, blood splatters everywhere. Interestingly I found that after a while with Hotline Miami, your brain begins to shut off the violence mostly I believe because it's beginning to try to perfect the gameplay aspect. I do not know what it says about me though.
That's about the only thing in Hotline Miami that'll make sense as the rest of the games narrative is told with the adeptness of a drunken druggie high on a few type of drugs. It also 'helps' that the game has some funky psychedelic beats and the screen moves and swivels as you move your character around. Hotline Miami isn't going to win any award for the best looker and in my humble opinion even tries bloody hard to make you hate the game.
But somewhere deep in its crevices... lies an addictive little game. Unfortunately many might not find that compelling reason to keep on playing after dying for the millionth time as the game continuously assaults your eyes and ears with psychedelic shit. In trying to figure out why I wasn't in love with Hotline Miami, I came to the conclusion that the linear structure of the game is what took me out of it. If only there was more of an element of randomness.
Sure sometimes the guards and enemies patrol a little differently. Weapon spawn is different in each playthrough but it's the same level, the same number of enemies. You might think well this is necessary since you'll die lots and you'll need to learn a level to progress. But this just makes the game very one dimensional. There is nothing to discover here (there are secrets in levels... but that's about it. These are not things you stumble upon).
Of course there are games where the core objective is to refine one particular skill. A quick and flawless run through the level. I've played and loved VVVVV but somehow Hotline Miami doesn't hold up to that. It just dawdles in comfortable it's okay land without trying to be 'it's freaking awesome'. That's okay though I suppose. Not all games have to be mind blowing.
And the music and visual effects were also grating on me... telling me "hey do you hate me now punk?!". Yes game I hate you now... I'm just going to play FTL instead. Hotline Miami is not a bad game. I'm sure many out there will be playing this A LOT, but I'm not feeling like I have to go back to playing the game. At least not as often as I would compared to some other games.
It can't be denied that the game is a commentary on violence in games and how ridiculous and over the top it is. You are playing a psycho and the psychedelic theme/miami 80's vibe works to that, but it isn't everyone's cup of tea. But if you think about it, it makes sense from the perspective of a video game since... hey video games are just plain crazier than real life.
Hotline Miami isn't a bad game. If you like challenging indie games, you might have a little fun playing this... for a while. And then you forget about it and move on. It has no lasting appeal, even if you'll remember it as a game touching on violence not in the way Spec Ops: The Line did, but in a more minimalist way. I suppose if you look at it that way, Hotline Miami achieves a certain sort of uniqueness that at least makes you questions why games are the way they are.
- Simple mechanic that's easy to understand
- Super challenging difficulty
- Rewarding when you finally beat a level
- Violence in many ways shockingly grotesque for a 16-bit style of graphics
- Psychedelic music and graphics might turn off some
- No reward for you to come back to it. Linear gameplay
- Camera swivelling might annoy some

On the March 23 episode of "The Walking Dead," two groups were reunited and some of the main characters made it to Terminus. Now that the place has been found, is it really a sanctuary or is it something else?
Warning: If you have not seen "The Walking Dead" season 4, episode 15, titled "Us," then stop reading.
One of the best moments of the episode was Glenn and Maggie reuniting. After they rested for the night, the two lovers along with Tara, Abe, Rosita, Eugene, Bob and Sasha headed to Terminus. They ended up finding it, a huge building with each letter of Terminus spelled out at the top of the building. They were surprised to find no guards, nobody watching out for walkers or people with ill intentions and the gates were closed, but unlocked. The characters walked in slowly and they along with viewers were uncertain of what they would find. Had it been abandoned? Overtaken with walkers or perhaps there was a war there, just like with Woodbury and the prison?
Eventually they came across someone, whose back was to them. She was busy working and when she turned around, the group came face to face with a woman named Mary. She had a pleasant smile, didn't seem to be anxious or worried about anything and said after they settled in they could eat.
So what is the deal with Terminus? Is it really a sanctuary? To be honest, it seems too good to be true. For one, where are all the other people? Even if it was time for lunch, wouldn't there be others out working the gardens, washing clothes or helping Mary? There also didn't seem to be any weapons nearby. Since the gates were unlocked, even though they were closed, what if walkers had made their way inside? What if people who were not looking for a safe place, but somewhere to take what they wanted had made their way in?
There is also the fact that if Terminus is so wonderful, then there wouldn't be much of a storyline for season 5. Since "The Walking Dead" was renewed, there has to be something dangerous coming up. The zombie series will have nowhere to go unless there is drama, suspense and action.
Something about Terminus feels wrong and it is just too good to be true. While the rest of the characters will probably meet up there, chances are the "sanctuary" won't be a good place after all. The only question is what is going on there and what will the main characters encounter while there?
The season finale of "The Walking Dead" is titled "A" and will air on March 30. Perhaps viewers will get some answers when it airs.

If you have a PayPal account and find yourself struggling with their plans, fees, TOS, different account types etc then the following points are must read for you. Do check out the money-saving tip in bold.
- There are three types of accounts in PayPal. Personal, Premier and Business. Personal vs Premier vs Business
- A single person can only have two accounts with PayPal. One Personal Account and other Premier or Business Account. Each account should have a unique email address, bank account and credit card associated with it.
- Opening a PayPal account and sending money from a PayPal account is completely free of charge for all three account types.
- Receiving funds from a PayPal account:
- To your personal PayPal account is free.
- To your premier/business PayPal account involves fees.
- You can also receive funds from a credit/debit card.
- With personal accounts you can only accept five credit/debit cards payments while in case of premier/business accounts there is no such limit.
- Receiving funds from a credit/debit card to your personal PayPal account involves higher fee than premier/business account. Fee varies by country. Check out fee structure for US based PayPal account holders and fee structure for India based PayPal account holders.
- Premier/Business account holders can also accept payment through credit cards without asking the payee to register with PayPal.
- If you have a premier/business account, you cannot accept business funds to your personal accounts. It means you can't ask your website visitors to put money in your personal account instead of premier/business account. However you can accept funds from your affiliate/advertising network in your personal accounts.
- Money Saving Tip: If you are a premier/business account holder and have a good standing with PayPal you can apply for merchant rates. Merchant rates attracts lower fee than normal premier/business accounts rates. To qualify for merchant rates you should have received more than $3,000.00 USD in PayPal payments in the previous calendar month.
- PayPal has invested a lot on the customer service front. While generic questions can be asked @AskPayPal twitter handle, for account related questions you have the facility to call them or send an email via the contact form.
Don't let your money stagnate in PayPal account. Invest in PayPal Money market fund and see your money grow.
- Something for your protection. Never click a PayPal link in your email. There are lots of phishers around. It is always advisable to directly type-in the URL.
- While opening a PayPal account, use a Gmail address. Gmail has put in place some special authentication for PayPal wherein you will never find a PayPal phishing messages in your Gmail account.
- For simple needs, PayPal also provides an inventory management feature under merchant tools. Now no need to go for those big online shopping carts.
- If you are a merchant and want to find and test out how that PayPal button would behave in real-time. Check out PayPal Sandbox
- If you are a PayPal account holder from outside US be prepared to shell out large sum of money as PayPal fee. Even while withdrawing money(in your currency) to your account, PayPal has its own exchange rate which is always lower than the current exchange rate. I wish PayPal could look into this uneven fee structure. For instance: If you are from India and assume you receive $100 in your account and current normal exchange rate is $1 = Rs 50. The actual amount what you will get in your PayPal account would be $95.8 (3.9% of $100 + $0.3) and if you chose to withdraw to your bank account in India, the amount you will receive would be around Rs 4358 (PayPal exchange rate is Rs1.5 lower than normal exchange rate). All in all a loss of Rs 642 for an amount of $100!
- Make sure you read the T & C document of PayPal carefully. PayPal is quick to limit an account for even a slight aberration. For instance, you are not allowed to log-in to PayPal from a country which is not included on Paypal's permitted countries list.
- Even if you're logging in from a permitted country but if that country is not your base country (where you regularly do business from), it's good to let your PayPal account rep know about your travel plans. I have seen accounts getting limited in such cases too!
Some readers have enquired about an alternate payment gateway to PayPal. I can whole-heartedly recommend e-Junkie. This payment gateway is available for users/merchants across the globe and they are one of the cheapest in the market (in terms of pricing). You can try them, if you don't like their services they offer a full 30 days money back guarantee.

In 2010, a group of residents in Piltdown, near Uckfield, got together to form a campaign action group against a proposed landraise site in their village. They decided upon the name 'Piltdown Action Group Against Landraise' (P.A.A.L.), and realised they would need to fund the campaign in order for it to be successful. Money came flooding in with donations from in and around the community, bucket collections at local fetes, etc.
The group made a decision, early on, that, once the campaign came to a close, regardless of the outcome, any fund surpluses would be offered to a local charity. The group agreed that Chailey Heritage Foundation, neighbours along the A272, were the perfect local charity to reward with any leftover funds, to aid the work they do with disabled children and young adults.
3 years on and the campaign has come to a successful close. East Sussex County Council concluded that a landraise site would not go ahead in Piltdown and the PAAL committee very kindly organised the official handover of a cheque for £2,250 to Chailey Heritage Foundation, to be spent on equipment in their state-of-the-art Life Skills Centre for young adults.
The Centre offers leisure and life skills activities to young adults with a physical disability, not available elsewhere in the community, including an accessible gym, spa & sauna, beauty & relaxation treatments, arts & crafts, cookery skills and ICT sessions using the latest in assistive technology….
Chailey's Fundraising Director, Sally-Anne Murray, said "We are very honoured to receive this donation. It will be used to buy essential equipment that will help disabled adults to develop independence skills and aid communication and mobility".

The Detroit Red Wings scored four consecutive goals Saturday afternoon, turning a 3-0 deficit to the Nashville Predators into a 4-3 overtime win.
Danny Cleary deflected a Brian Rafalski shot from the point past Pekka Rinne at 2:58 of the overtime period, giving the Red Wings the win.
Jakub Kindl started Detroit's rally at 3:28 of the second period when his shot from the left point found its way through traffic and past Rinne to get the Red Wings on the board.
Justin Abdelkader made it 3-2 just 1:21 later, deflecting a Brad Stuart shot over Rinne's shoulder from in the slot.
Abdelkader scored again at 3:59 of the third period. Todd Bertuzzi threw the puck to the front of the net and Abdelkader broke free to poke it past Rinne, tying the game up.
The Red Wings thought they had opened the game's scoring with 3:44 left in the first but Nicklas Lidstrom's power play goal was called back when Tomas Holmstrom elbowed Rinne in the mask as the puck went past them.
Ryan Suter put a shot from the high slot past Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard with one minute left in the first period and the Predators on a five-on-three to give Nashville a 1-0 lead.
Just 1:42 into the second, Martin Erat added another power play goal to make it 2-0. Erat tipped a Shea Weber shot past Howard for the goal.
Sergei Kostitsyn blasted a shot past Howard to make it 3-0 just 55 seconds later. Mike Fisher's shot wide of the net deflected off the back boards to Kostitsyn, who put it in before Howard could get in position.
Howard stopped 31 of the 34 shots he faced, including making a post-to-post save on Joel Ward midway through the third period to preserve the 3-3 tie. Rinne stopped 37 of 41 Detroit chances.
The Red Wings finished the afternoon scoreless on three power play opportunities while Nashville went two-for-eight, including one-for-three on five-on-threes.
Detroit is next in action on Sunday hosting the Minnesota Wild.
Notes: The Red Wings clinched their twentieth consecutive playoff berth with the win.
Looking to rebound from a pathetic 10-3 loss on Wednesday to the St. Louis Blues, the Red Wings visit the Nashville Predators for an afternoon game today.
It's the last game of the regular season between the two teams and Nashville leads the series 4-1.
Jimmy Howard will return to the Detroit crease but Pavel Datsyuk did not join the team on their trip, despite reports earlier in the week that he would play.
It's a 3:00 PM start time on FSD.
After one, not many surprises. FSD crew caught a Homer elbow to Rinne on the called back goal. I'm fine with that but then why no call when Dumont was bumping Howard at the other end?
Great to see the Wings playing physical but they've gotta score to make it matter.
That game didn't go the way I wanted it however, I'll take the two points and a guaranteed spot in the playoffs. There were some questionable calls and I want to know why Homer will always get the call and Howie gets the shaft. As Larry pointed out in the intermission, the hit on Erat was legal because Abdelkader's elbows and stick were down yet he gets the gate. I'm tired of bad calls dictating the flow and outcome of the game.

No pregnancy symptoms
If the calculations are correct from the first day of my last period, I am 7 weeks/2 days pregnant. I have taken 3 EPT test that have come back positive; yet I have no symptoms! The only 'symptoms' I would say I have is slight nausea here and there and fatigue. My breast are not tender at all and everything I read states that they should be. I have a Dr appt the 15th; this is my first preg ever. I am a little worried. Any suggestions or encouraging words? Thanks:)

I would'nt worry. I had no clue that i was pregnant until i went into the doc's office for a sore throat and found out i was 6 weeks: the next day i started throwing up and had "Morning Sickness" all day, every day for the next 5 months. Congrats and hope everything goes well!!!posted 03/02/2008 by exhaustedntired
I know what you mean and I am wondering the same for myself. I am in my sixth week and have no symptoms. I took several pregnancy tests including one at the doctor and they all say I am pregnant. The only thing different for me is I am more awake than usual. My ultrasound will not be for another month.posted 01/30/2008 by joamyk
is it possible to be pregnant and have a healthy baby without going to the doctor.?posted 01/13/2015 by a BabyCenter Member
I am about five weeks all of my other pregnancies were full of nasua the first three or four months all day and night the only thing im experiencing now is tender breasts. I'd rather not be nasious buy I was always told that was a sign of a good pregnancy. Just statingposted 11/08/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Same here. I am now 16 weeks pregnant but in the beginning I had no symptoms and still to this day have had no symptoms and this is my first pregnancy. If I didn't realize I was 2 weeks late I would have never given it a second thought. I too took 3 pregnancy tests that all came back positive, so if they all say it then it more than likely true. My first doctors appointment was a breeze. He told me that I was perfectly healthy and so was the baby. Feel lucky because I know there are women out there who would rather go to work and be "normal" everyday than have to deal with all the uncomfortable symptoms that come along with this.posted 04/17/2008 by Sunshineon_99
I am about 6 weeks as well and I kinda worried myself. I don't feel anything except for my boobs feeling tender. I don't feel Nausea or tired. I am not sensitive to smell or anything. This is my first pregnancy as well and thought you would start feeling something but I don't. I gues that's a good thing????posted 01/18/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

This is my 1st pregnancy. I was unable to sleep through the night or get comfortable. My breasts were extremely sore, much more than the usual PMS soreness. I also felt that I was bloated and putting on weight the last 2 weeks before I took a home test that was positive.posted 12/06/2007 by KimberlyO'C
Hi, I am 4 days late and trying to get pregnant. I have had no symptoms except for being really tired, and I have had an upset stomach all day. I am glad to hear that some ladies do not have symptoms. Is it too early to take a test?posted 01/07/2008 by Hope0610
I didn't have any nausea when i was pregnant. I did have sore boobs (not swollen) and had a lot of fatigue. my skin was breaking out more than usual as well. I ended up having a miscarriage, but i know plenty of people that had normal pregnancies and never felt sick.posted 01/02/2008 by help!!!!

text: CHICAGO — Would you ever offer some type of gambling (lottery tickets, slots, video poker, etc.) at your laundry, if given the opportunity? Economic conditions have influenced the way some laundry owners think about gambling, according to American Coin-Op's most recent Wire survey.Sixty-eight percent of survey respondents said they would offer some type of gambling if given the opportunity. Eighteen percent aren't sure if they would bring gambling into their laundries, and 14% wouldn't offer any type of gambling.We might not have received this kind of response if the question was posed before the recession hit. Thirty-six percent of respondents said their decision to bring gambling into the laundry has been influenced by current economic conditions. Sixty percent said the economy plays no factor in their decision, and 4% aren't sure if the economy has affected their attitude toward gambling.PROS AND CONSA large number of respondents (82%) said they believe gambling would generate revenue at laundries ("significant extra-profit revenue" drew 36% of the response and "modest extra-profit revenue" drew 46%). Four percent said they believe gambling would generate little or no extra-profit revenue, and 14% said they aren't sure what type of results gambling would generate.Thirty-two percent of respondents said security would be the No. 1 concern if they offered gambling. Other top concerns included "gambling would bring in the wrong type of people" (18%) and "there isn't enough room for gambling machines, etc." (16%).WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER GUY?If a competing laundry offered gambling, would you lose some business? Forty-six percent of the respondents said they aren't sure what would happen in this scenario. Twenty-nine percent said they wouldn't lose any business to a competitor offering some type of gambling, and 25% said they believe they would lose some business.Regardless of their feelings on the subject of gambling, 93% said they owe it to themselves to check out any government-offered gambling opportunity. Only 7% said they have no interest whatsoever in offering any type of gambling.While the American Coin-Op Wire survey presents a snapshot of readers' viewpoints at a particular moment, it should not be considered scientific.Subscribers to American Coin-Op's Wire e-mails — distributed weekly — are invited to participate in an industry survey each month.
