TODAY'S PUZZLE STUMPED? Decision to donate organs should be a family affair M U Cal for Answers • Touch* ton* or Rotary Phono* 14)00-454-3535 aid. code 540* im par mr ' DEAR ABBY: There is a widespread public misconception that needs to be cleared up. Americans need to know that family consent, nf>t a donor card, is required for organ donation to occur. Hospital personnel always require the consent cf next-of-kin before procuring organa. Organ donor cards are effective only if they provide a stimulus for family discussions about the intention to become an organ donor, and the potential donor makes plain to his or her family the desire to make the donation. In 1995, a review of medical records of deceased patients revealed that there were approximately 13,000 to 15,000 potential organ donors. But only about 5,346 individuals actually donated, despite the fact that the American public overwhelmingly supports organ donation. Thanks in advance for your help inclosing this unfortunate gap. TANA SHERMAN, PARTNERSHIP FOR ORGAN DONATION, BOSTON DEAR TANA: Thank you for ap important tetter. Discussing one's desire to be an organ donor is a vital step in the organ donation process. When people sign donor cards, they pike a commitment and empress their wishes to be vital organ donors at the time of their death. But if family members are unaware of a potential donors wishes, they can — and often do — react negatively when they are approached and asked to give their consent. If familia understand in advance, there could be an estimated additional 16,000 transplants each year. I will continue to urge my readers to sign organ donor cards and to discuss their wishes with their families. I believe that most families will agree to respect the wishes of their loved ones. * * * DEAR ABBY: I am in my early 20s and have been married for three years. My husband's first wife died eight years ago, but he keeps her memory alive. Her wheelchair is still in the comer of our bedroom, and he has everything she owned. My question is: When does she die? When should he get rid of her things? I feel like I'm competing with a dead woman; I feel haunted. You are the only person I can talk to. I have fib other friends.

(It occurred to me that you could sell the items and use the money for counseling, but I have a hunch that this will be quicker and just as effective.) • • • DEAR ABBY: On a quick trip to the grocery store, an obviously caring mother left her two small children in the car with the keys in the ignition and the motor running to keep the air conditioner on, as it was a very hot day. I watched in horror as the two little ones tried to "drive'' — twisting the steering wheel and turning the lights on and off. Then one of the children started to play with the buttons that raised and lowered the windows. I was afraid that one of them would get an arm — or maybe a head — caught in the window, so I rushed into the store and told the mother I was worried about her children. Without uttering a word, she marched out of the store, put down the windows, turned off the motor and removed the car kevs. Abby, please warn parents never to leave small children in cars with the motor running. They could easily be kidnapped in a carjacking — or push the car out of gear to roll into traffic. One family I knew lost a son when his neck was caught in a closing window.

Maybe mass media was just a blip
Paid Content discusses whether the era of mass media, which dominated the 20th century, was just some sort of a blip in history and we are returning to more natural niche, personalised media: "If you look at human communication over a longer period than just the past generation or two, it becomes obvious that one-way, broadcast-style "mass media" isn't the norm at all — instead, the norm is interpersonal or multi-directional communication. Rather than creating a new communication style, we are actually returning to one".
UK ad spend hits pre-recession levels
UK economy as a whole may be showing only anaemic growth, but the advertising industry is in rude health. According to the latest AA/Warc Expenditure Report, UK ad spend reached its highest point for five years in 2012.
In 2012 total ad spend rose 2.3% year-on-year to £17.17bn. The last time such a figure was recorded was in the pre-recession year of 2007, when ad spend reached £17.36bn. Growth is predicted to accelerate over the next two years, with increases of 2.7% and 5% forecast for 2013 and 2014 respectively.
The rise of mobile-enhanced economy
Mobile Marketing Association's "Mobile Marketing Economic Impact Study" reveals that that mobile marketing ecosystem generated $139 billion of incremental output to the US economy in 2012, a significant surge from $48 billion reported in 2010. By 2015 this figure is set to skyrocket to over $400 billion and the US mobile marketing expenditure is likely to reach nearly $20bn in the same year, almost tripling vs. 2012.
By 2014 there will be more mobile phones across the world than people
UN agency International Telecoms Union (ITU), cited by the IAB, predicts that the number of mobile phone subscriptions is to exceed seven billion in 2013, surpassing the world's 7.1 billion population in 2014.
Former Soviet Union countries in the Commonwealth of Independent States have the highest rates of mobile phone subscriptions at 1.7 for each person. Meanwhile, in Africa, there are only 63 subscriptions for every 100 individuals.
Google's Android platform set to dominate
According to IDC, for the first time Google's Android platform accounted for the majority of quarterly tablet shipments: 26 million Android tablets (excluding 1.8 million units of Amazon's Kindle Fire) were shipped in Q1 2013 - giving Android a 52% market share vs. 40% for Apple's iOS.
And according to Gartner's Q1 2013 figures for mobile handset sales to end users, Android now accounts for nearly 75% (vs. Apple's 18%) of all handset sales, a jump of almost 20 percentage points vs. last year.
Is there a limit to Google's appetites?
Having recently announced premium YouTube channels, Google now readies its Spotify competitor with Universal and Sony on board

Simmons First, a financial company headquartered in Arkansas since 1903, sponsors the Simmons First Visa Platinum Rewards Credit Card. The Simmons First National Company currently has eight affiliate banks in 47 communities in the state of Arkansas. The company also has its own financial products, including a collection of Visa credit cards. This rewards card has been designed for consumers that have good credit, and who want to reap the benefits of a job well done– namely a low cost credit card with some impressive perks.
Read on to finish this Simmons First National Bank Visa Platinum Rewards Credit Card review and then either apply above or use our free credit card comparison tool today!
Similar Credit Cards:
The Best Features of the Simmons First Rewards Card
Do those far and in-between perfect credit customers get what they deserve with this Visa card? Yes, and the low interest rate is arguably the most attractive feature. At a rate of 9.25%, the card offers a low cost option to those who plan to carry a revolving balance. Customers pay the same percentage for balance transfer fees, making the card even more inviting.
Cash advances tend to be expensive with any credit card account and the cash advance APR for the Simmons First Visa Platinum Rewards card is 13.25%, which is hard to dismiss, but hardly worth complaint. The default APR rate is a bit pricey, being 16.95%. However, there is a 25-day grace period as well as a waived annual fee for this account. Late fees are standard at $29, and over-the-limit fees are also $29. There is an extra finance charge of 2% when making purchases overseas. There is no sign up fee for this card—your good credit is all you need to get started.
Are the Rewards Worth It?
What about that generous reward program? Is it really above the run of the mill credit card that you can get from any other bank? For starters, customers can earn points on every purchase they make. If you use the Simmons First Visa Platinum Rewards card you get one point for every dollar. These points can be redeemed to "buy" any number of perks like airfare (with no black outs or seat restrictions), hotel accommodations, restaurant meals, entire vacations and car rentals.
Simmons First and Visa have agreed on the fact that there are no limitations on points that can be earned per year. Cardholders can redeem these points with a simple process that requires making a toll-free call. The only downside on this deal is that the points do expire within three years if they are not used.
Cardholders can also expect the card to cover their travel accident insurance, including auto rental insurance and emergency roadside assistance coverage. There are also anti-fraud features such as emergency card replacement or cash replacement and a process for reporting lost or stolen cards.
It should be noted that there is a difference between the Simmons First Visa Platinum card and the special Rewards Card account. The APR rate for the Rewards card is slightly higher than the traditional card, 9.25% compared to 7.25% variable rates.
The Only Downside is in Qualification
Are there any disadvantages to using the Simmons First Visa Platinum Rewards card? Aside from the fact that the points eventually run out, the drawbacks are minor. There is no annual fee, no restrictions or limits and APR is fairly low. Even balance transfers are low—competing cards can run up to almost 30% in over-the-limit fees. (There are no extra fees for balance transfer either)
If you default on the monthly payment more than one time in a half a year then you do lose the alluring 9.25% APR rate and will end up paying 16.25% APR. However, you can go back to 9.25% if you make your payments on time for six months in a row. Then again, perfect-credit customers are probably unlikely to make such a small credit mistake.
That brings up an interesting drawback—the qualification process. In order to qualify for this Rewards card, you must have perfect to near-perfect credit. This can be a problem for some cardholders who may have questionable items in their extended credit history. Bad credit customers and even medium score customers will have to admire the Simmons First Visa Platinum Rewards card from a distance.
There are some cards out there that offer comparable or better rewards structures, but the Simmons First Visa Platinum Rewards card remains a favorite for many.

Interested in my services? Get in touch with me via the form below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible! It is well.
What Power Level Do You Need?
If you have ever asked a couple who has been happily married for a
long time, how they met, the chances are they met by "coincidence".
When it comes to True Love, there are SO many "coincidences" that
all seem to somehow work together to bring just the right person
into the life of someone who is seeking that one special person for
them. This spell is specially designed to help increase those
chances by creating those special "coincidences" that will bring the
two of you together in just the right way and at just the right time.
Are you tired of Waiting for the RIGHT person to come along? If you
believe in love at first sight, you must try this unique spell. This Love
Spell is designed to locate your "soul mate," and to alert BOTH of
you to the fact that you exist, causing instant attraction for BOTH of
you at the same time! This spell gives you both simultaneously, the
message of instant attraction. It is as if your eyes were connected
by a laser beam. We've all heard the remarkable stories of how two
people meet and instantly know they're in love. The purpose of this
spell is to create this for you! Do NOT order unless you are
prepared to WAIT! I've had people meet the RIGHT person in as
little as a week, but it has taken as long as five YEARS! This spell is
ONLY for those who want to live the rest of their lives with the
RIGHT person.
If you are seriously dating someone and desire to have them pop
the question, this Marriage Spell can help speed things along. The
Marry Me Love Spell is designed to focus your loved ones attention
on thoughts of being happily married to you, but will do so without
forcing them to action until they are ready to do so. This spell helps
them to-long mate, see you as the perfect choice as a lover and life
someone they want to build a life with. It helps to focus the desires
of the relationship on marriage, rather than dating. This spell can
help your lover take that extra step and tie the knot so you both can
begin a life together as husband and wife.
WARNING: Because this is a life-long commitment for both of you,
in order to protect my clients from heartache down the road, this
spell will ONLY work for you if you are willing to stay with him or
her for life time

Retirement Benefits
Whether you are enrolled in the Maryland State Retirement & Pension System or the Optional Retirement Program, advance planning for retirement is an important step to ensure a smooth transition from active employment to retirement.
Maryland State Retirement & Pension System (Pension Plan)
Participants in the Pension Plan should request an Estimate of Service Retirement Benefits (PDF) from the Maryland State Retirement Agency (law enforcement officers use the LEOPS estimate form (PDF).) Request an estimate well in advance of your retirement date, as it takes two to three months for the retirement agency to process your request.
Once you receive your estimate, contact the Office of Human Resources Employee Benefits unit to schedule a pre-retirement counseling session. We will explain the payment options on the estimate, discuss the required forms and retirement process, explain reemployment after retirement rules, and review retiree health benefits information with you.

Optional Retirement Program (ORP)
Retirement benefits are determined by the balance of your ORP account at retirement, which includes contributions from Towson University, plan expenses, and investment gains and losses. You can elect to receive your account in a lump-sum payment or a periodic distribution. However, if you wish to participate in the retiree health benefits program, you must elect a lifetime distribution that is paid periodically (i.e., monthly or quarterly).
Contact your ORP plan provider to discuss distribution options and to complete the required forms to establish a periodic distribution during retirement. Contact the Office of Human Resources Employee Benefits unit to schedule a pre-retirement counseling session. We will review the required forms and retirement process, explain reemployment after retirement rules, and discuss retiree health benefits information with you.

Retiree Health Benefits
Retiree health benefits are administered by the State of Maryland Employee Benefits Division. Eligibility for retiree health benefits for yourself and your eligible dependents is based on a number of factors including years of service and whether you are enrolled in the Pension Plan or the ORP.
Please consult the Benefits Guide (PDF) for eligibility rules, subsidy information, and how you will pay for retiree health benefits.
Retirees and covered spouses who are Medicare eligible are required to enroll in Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B as of the date of retirement.

Greenpeace is crazy.
And:TS: If Greenpeace has become so extremist, why is it so popular?PM: Because the environmental movement has basically become a religion, or rather a kind of hybrid between religion and political ideology. When people internalise new values, a desire to be environmentally conscious, to save the world, etc, and Greenpeace makes claims that fit this desire, then the organisation indeed must enjoy great popularity. It apparently does not matter that any reference to reality is given up. Take the example of mining. Greenpeace is against mining, not only certain mining, but any. If one asks a green politician to name a mine that is environmentally okay, you get no answer. That would be against the rule: no mining. But how do you get cellphones and bicycles and rapid transit, buildings and windmills? It is an absolute dream world. They call it idealism, but in reality it is a fairytale world.An important aspect of this religion plays on fear and guilt. This works best when it comes to global warming. First, the problem needs to be a global one – they threaten you with the end of the world. Second, everyone is consuming energy and therefore must feel guilty. Therefore, the so-called climate-change movement is extremely successful because it means that people are scared and feel bad and guilty and believe they should give money – to the Church of Greenpeace.
TS: What in your opinion are the biggest challenges for a conservationist?
PM: If I am asked what is the biggest environmental problem, my answer is poverty. Poor people cannot afford to clean wastewater, to clean the air, to plant new trees after cutting them down for fuel, etc. Poverty is a problem for the people and for the environment. To fight poverty helps both. There is no contradiction.
TS: Why did you leave Greenpeace?
PM: When I realised that the humanitarian philosophy had disappeared from Greenpeace, I understood that I had to leave. I wanted to shift from confrontation towards a consensus policy. If everyone agrees with you that the environment is important, you can stop beating them on the head, and sit down and talk about concrete solutions to concrete problems. And I wanted to get away from the anti-development stance towards a sustainable-development approach. When my colleagues came up with the crazy idea of banning chlorine worldwide, it was enough for me to go permanently. I said: Dear God, guys, listen up! You cannot prohibit chemical elements. Chlorine is the most important element for healthcare. I know it's all about people, but we need chlorine. Chlorine is just so important, precisely because it is toxic – toxic to bacteria that want to kill us. We need toxic chemicals to live a healthy life. We can be against certain chlorine compounds for certain uses, but we cannot seriously demand that chlorine is banned worldwide. Because of this campaign, I finally left Greenpeace in 1986.

First impression review: Samsung Galaxy S4
The Galaxy S4 undoubtedly comes with impressive hardware specifications, but Samsung has bloated the device with gimmicky features.
New Delhi: We intend to use the top weapon in Samsung's mobile phone arsenal for a little longer before we post our full review of the Samsung Galaxy S4. Meanwhile, here are our first impressions about the much-discussed device that is the first phone with an 8-core processor.
The Galaxy S4 undoubtedly comes with impressive hardware specifications, but Samsung has bloated the device with gimmicky features.
1. At the first glance, the Galaxy S4 looks like the Galaxy III, but it has a slightly bigger display and a patterned back. Also the edges of the phone are less angular than the S III. In our eyes, the HTC One easily trounces the Galaxy S4.
2. The device is noticeably light, and is slimmer and lighter than its top rival, the HTC One.
3. Made of polycarbonate plastic, its brassy rear panel feels flimsy when removed. The back panel is also sheeny and looks gaudy.
4. The Galaxy S4's 5-inch display yields a pixel density of 441 ppi; it shows sharp, detailed and rich images.
5. Viewing angles are great and the screen is bright enough even in daylight, and hence, content on the screen can be easily viewed under direct sunlight.
6. The rear camera captures impressive pictures even in low-lighting conditions.
7. The dual camera feature allows you to simultaneously shoot with the front and rear camera, but the gimmick is that the picture - captured using the dual camera feature - is disappointing.
8. Even the drama shot is another unexciting feature.
9. Viewing full HD videos on this huge, rich display is amazing.
10. The Galaxy S4 comes with speakers which produce loud, yet clear sound.
11. Though Samsung boasts of features like Air Gesture, Smart Scroll in the Galaxy S4, but the reality is that these feature don't aid, in fact hinder the overall experience. The Smart scroll feature works only if you are holding the device at an angle so that the front camera can detect your eyes. This did not enrich my reading experience, instead resulted in a pain in my neck. Also, I did not find myself using the Air gesture feature. I wonder what's the need of this feature? I tested the feature and then promptly disabled.
12. The touchscreen is highly responsive and navigation is smooth.
13. The Samsung Galaxy S4 comes packed with an impressive octa-core processor and a 2,600mAh battery. Our verdict on battery life and processor performance will be posted in our detailed review.
14. The Galaxy S4 comes with the same user interface and Samsung believes it has hit the sweet spot but we beg to differ.
15. Samsung Galaxy S4 may be a powerful device, but it also seems to be just an updated Galaxy S III.

First half goals sink United again
Carlisle United shot themselves in the foot once again when defensive errors crept in to allow Sheffield United to maintain their charge at the top end of the table.
The latest home offering went exactly to script in the opening stages as Carlisle gave as good as they got.
The first chance of the day fell to Miller when he received a reverse pass from Flynn. A twist inside the area created space but his scuffed shot was easy for Collin.
Liam Noble let one go from distance at the other end when Thirlwell put him into a shooting position. He connected well but Long was well placed to gather.
The selection of experience over youth appeared to be doing the trick as the Blades struggled to make an impact, but the familiar Achilles heel of a lapse in concentration kicked in just after the quarter hour mark.
It was a long ball forward which found Collins on the run and he brought a parried save with a fierce shot from a tight angle. The big striker reacted first to the rebound and his low cross eventually found its way through to Blackman. He curled a beautiful delivery behind the back line and hesitation from Edwards allowed the late arriving Ryan Flynn to slide in and touch the ball into an empty net.
The Cumbrians threatened to respond and Cadamarteri and Noble both had speculative efforts which flew right at George Long. Carlisle's luck was summed up though when Liam Noble thumped a perfect volley into the bottom corner only to have his celebrations cut short by an offside flag.
But the first half turned into a nightmare for the Blues fans when Blades trio Blackman, Flynn and Collins carved their way through with a neat passing move. Nick Blackman dodged the final desperate tackle to poke the ball through Adam Collin's legs to score his eleventh of the season from the tightest of angles.
Visiting tails were up and Kevin McDonald brought a good save out of Adam Collin when he tried to extend the lead just before the break. The keeper saw it late and did well to parry it away.
Dave Symington came on for Chris Chantler for the start of the second half as Greg Abbott shuffled his pack and he almost made an immediate impact as he dragged a 22-yard free kick wide of the mark.
It was better from Carlisle and a cross-shot from Robson almost found Garner until Collins put a boot in the way.
The visitors looked happy with their work after the break as they kept Carlisle at arms length with Liam Noble the most eager to make an impression.
He came close to dragging his team back into it when he smashed a nod down from Beck into the stands, and he was even closer moments later when he held his position for a poor punch from Long. A measured lob landed on top of the bar with the keeper well beaten.
The moment sparked life into the home effort and Symington was next to strike the woodwork with a crunching drive from deep. And Carlisle were right back in it when Danny Livesey made it three for the season when he nodded a whipped McGovern corner past the stranded George Long.
Beck and Potts both had half chances as the home pressure grew, but the Cumbrians were guilty of whipping the rug from underneath their own fight back when they conceded a third goal with five minutes left to play.
Adam Collin lost the flight of an inswinging corner and Neil Collins was on hand to seal the win and consign the hosts to their fourth consecutive home defeat as he prodded the freak ricochet into the gaping net from less than a yard out.
To their credit, Carlisle kept going and a thundering free kick from deep from Symington brought a fantastic save from the diving George Long. And Matt Robson wheeled away in disappointment as he sent a late volley right at the keeper with the clock ticking into time added on.
"It's a lonely place when you are stood in the technical area and your team is losing but we have to keep going and working hard to turn these results round," manager Greg Abbott said. "We're starting to get some key players back and that will make a massive difference to us. We aren't looking for excuses, they were better than us today and it took us too long to get ourselves going. There is no-one more frustrated and disappointed than me, but we will be back in on Monday to go again. This is a good group and once we are firing on all cylinders, with our full squad available, we will become a very difficult team to beat again."

These balls were/are surprising good. My regular ball is the B330 Bridgestone. I'm not going to say these are as good (to me), but for an every day ball, I think they are a pretty good bargain. I logged in to buy more and they are sold out.... Guess some others feel the same way.

I had never heard of Ray Cook golf balls, but since they were free, I decided to try them. They performed admirably and i would place them in the category of a Top Flite Gamer. I certainly wouldn't pay full price for them, however.

Great Balls For The Money
March 25, 2014
These balls came to me free as part of a special promotion. I really didn't expect them to be that great...........but amazingly I would put them in the category of Noodle, Titlest NXT, etc. Decent feel, good distance and good spin.

I got these golf balls as a bonus with my last order, so they were free. They are pretty good balls, just a little less performance (spin) than I expect from the balls I purchase. I am not sure I would pay nearly $30 for a dozen of these, but they are a good golf ball in the secondary tier of performance balls.

I have just played a sleeve of these balls but they are a quality ball. I think that most golfers don't need the spin of the PRO V1 and these balls do have a really good feel.

Surprisingly Good
March 4, 2014
I normally play premium 3 piece balls (pro v1, tp3, etc.) and I was a little skeptical at first but these balls have very similar distances and trajectories as compared to other high end balls. The cover is a little harder which you feel slightly but the tingyness is what tells you that. Overall though, great ball for a ridiculously low price.

Pro v1 or RAY COOK 3 Piece?
February 25, 2014
Okay, Who in their right mind would compare these balls to a pro v1? Well maybe you should. Let's say your the guy who shoots in the mid 90's ( with a few mulli's )..Does that mean your can't play a tour ball? Nope, you can pay $50.00 a dozen if you want, but please don't think that you will magically play better. You see golf balls don't spin unless you know how to put spin on the ball, they don't go straight unless you hit them straight, and they won't go farther (much anyway) until you improve your swing. So if you are a high handicapper, play these, save your money, and think about getting some lessons..You will be glad you did!

Best 4 the $$$
October 24, 2013
I'm a bogey golfer...sometimes I even do better than that. I play with excellent golfers, one even carries a PGA Card. I gave him a sleeve of these balls and took away his Pro V's. There wasn't anything he could do with his Pro V's that he couldn't do with this ball. But he said he'd stick with his Titleist...status you understand. When these are on sale I get at least 6 dozen...I don't get Pro V's for free.
ProsThey go where I hit them...which means some get wet and some get lost and I don't feel like I just wasted my $$$. When I hit it good it goes long and straight and if I am on line with the right distance and hit the little ball first...they hold the green. I don't think you can ask for more than that at my level.

August 16, 2013
Awesome overall performance. I don't think they fly as far off the driver but the sacrifice of a few yards is straight flight and consistantly being in the short grass. Terrific feel for chipping and putting. A fantastic three-piece ball at an unbelievable price.

I like to try out new golf balls whenever possible and I generally like Ray Cook gear (except flask belts and bottle opener hats). I actually found one of these on the course recently and played about 6 holes with it. The ball had decent distance and spin. Nothing overwhelming but nothing terrible either. The cover seemed to hold up well, despite a tree hit. Not a bad ball at this price.

More Reliable than Premium
July 26, 2012
I usually pay a Bridgestone Tour B330-RX. I decided to try this for fun. At the price, who could blame me? I played this ball yesterday for a full round. It had a hard core feel with a tacky covering. The ball played long and despite hitting a tree the cover lasted 16 holes (I donated a ball on the second hole to a local river). The ball did not appear to spin significantly on short shots. It did, however, putt very well, I would say lively.
ProsLong and durable Price
ConsNever felt the ball compress on drives.

Chilling Views
If the only purpose of art was to give you the warm fuzzies, the world would be a frightening visual hodgepodge of Anne Geddes photographs and IKEA prints. And while this would likely be a welcome aesthetic among the denizens of SMU sorority houses, the rest of us would ache for something a little more stimulating, challenging and even a little creepy. Ultimately, while the cheerful and cute has a place in both fine and commercial art, work that is a little darker and that drives us to the verge of squeamishness often leaves a bigger impression. Case in point: Dallas artist Kathleen Wilke's The Lady of the Lake series, featured in an exhibit titled The Unseen Seen, is a chilling combination of her talent for capturing underwater scenes and the local ghost story involving a long-ago drowning at White Rock Lake. Wilke's previous work has focused on capturing movement in water, often almost gleefully, so the cold, ominous and ghostly work displayed at Decorazon Gallery, 417 N. Bishop Ave., is a departure for the photographer. While certainly heebie-jeebie worthy, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more stunning, affecting exhibit anywhere in the metroplex. The exhibit, also featuring work by Jane Fulton Alt and Wendy Kveck, runs through February 2. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Visit decorazongallery.com.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 11 a.m.-3 p.m. & 6-9 p.m.; Sundays, 12-4 p.m. Starts: Jan. 15. Continues through Feb. 3, 2009

Maybe the 8th Wonder of the World.
It's something some people might not understand. But if you own one of these amazing creatures, you'll know exactly what I mean.
Something so amazing could possibly be the 8th Wonder of the World. In my mind, that could be a number of things. For one, I really think a canine should be one. They are there no matter what the situation is. They listen to you. And yet they never tell you deepest secrets. And they never talk back. Maybe a simple turn of the head, or walk away but never criticism. They follow you as if there is a magnetic force between the both of you. It brings a new meaning to "best friend." Dogs sense when something is wrong. They try their best to make the situation better. Sometimes, it doesn't exactly work. But other times, it helps so much, that you completely forget about your problems. Let them help you in times of need. And when they are desperate for your company, be with them.

|Kevin Garnett: 'At this point, it's desperation, desperation basketball'
|06.02.12 at 1:39 am ET
An inspired and fired up Kevin Garnett let everyone know exactly how proud he was of the Celtics fan base that supported the team Friday night in their 101-91 win over the Heat Friday night at TD Garden in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals. The Celtics avoided falling behind 3-0 in the series and could tie the series on Sunday with another home-court win.
'It's whatever, it's desperation," Garnett said. "You know, at this point it's desperation, desperation basketball. Next game, Game 4, it's going to be even more. You have to anticipate them making adjustments, were going to make some adjustments. But the tenacity, the desperation has to be there. We're playing at home, we have to give it our all out and it will be out. The jungle was rockin' tonight. I want to thank all the fans who came out. The [expletive] jungle was rockin' tonight! I loved it. [Expletive] loved it.'
Garnett led the Celtics on the court as well as emotionally, scoring 24 points and grabbing 11 rebounds and helping the Celtics dominate the Heat in the paint, 58-46.
"KG is a difficult match'up for a lot of guys, period," said LeBron James. "He started off really well. I think he had 12 points in the first quarter and got them off to a good start. That's part of the reason why they had 58 points in the paint. He opened up a lot for not only himself but for his teammates as well. And he's definitely a threat down there, and he made some huge shots."
But Garnett, who had seven points in the opening quarter for the Celtics, repeated the mantra of desperation, something the Celtics came out with from the opening tip.
'Desperation game, to be honest," Garnett reiterated. "And we played like it too. You don't want to be down 3-0 to a team like this. Very very good team, very talented team, well coached team. I feel like we played desperation basketball.
"I feel like these games at home, have to be nothing less than that. These are desperation games and we have to play them like that.'
|Celtics shootaround notes for Game 3: Extra time for KG and Ray
|06.01.12 at 1:08 pm ET
WALTHAM — Marquis Daniels is fully aware that the Celtics bench scored just seven of Boston's 111 points in Wednesday's Game 2 loss to the Heat.
Not that they are expected to carry the team but Daniels knows more will be expected in Game 3 at the Garden. And it's not necessarily the scoring but the energy level off the bench that has to be there. Daniels, Keyon Dooling and Mickael Pietrus are among those who could be vital in assuring Rajon Rondo doesn't have to play the entire game like he did in Game 2.
"We just have to do what's needed," Daniels said at Friday morning's shootaround. "Rondo obviously had a great game last game. If those guys [starters] continue to play well, we basically have to come in and do what we usually do, get some stops here and there, play good defense and knock down open shots.
"A little more here and there, and we'll be OK."
Pietrus led the bench in minutes with 28 on Wednesday, while Dooling added 15. Greg Stiemsma played just five minutes after picking up four quick fouls and Ryan Hollins, Daniels, Sasha Pavlovic and E'Twaun Moore all played under two minutes.
Daniels said the team's focus is right where it needs to be, down 0-2 in the series to the heavily-favored Heat.
"We're focused," he said. "We're going to go out and do what we need to do. We looked at film and got prepared so I think we'll be ready."
The focus was evident among most of the Celtics, who left after the shootaround to get their rest. However, Ray Allen stayed behind to work with assistants Ty Lue and Michael Longabardi while Kevin Garnett worked with assistant Jamie Young on mid-range and 3-point shooting, along with free throws.
Normally, both Allen and Garnett leave immediately after the shootaround, which focuses on half-court sets. Friday morning was different.
All Celtics were accounted for and present at Friday's shootaround.
The Celtics will also look to take advantage of home court, where they're 6-1 in the playoffs so far.
"It's going to help a lot," Daniels said. "Our crowd is going to be into it. It's going to be a lot more intense. We're going to come out focused and ready to play.
"Just stay consistent, come out and keep giving the energy where it's needed, keep giving those guys their breaks and make sure we don't fall off anywhere," Daniels said. "We're a veteran ball club so we don't let too much get to us. You hate losing, obviously, but we're going to come in focused and hopefully, we can get this one."
|Irish Coffee: Celtics, Heat, fouls, free throws & facts
|05.31.12 at 9:43 am ET
Let's take a page out of Doc Rivers' book and tread lightly on this matter. Two nights after declaring his technical foul — one of five called on the Celtics as a team — "the worst I've ever had," the coach took umbrage with the officiating in their Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Heat once again.
"It is what it is," he said in the aftermath of a stomach-punch, 115-111 overtime loss. "LeBron James took 24 free throws tonight and our team took 29. Paul Pierce fouled out of a game where he was attacking the basket."
You can't get fined if you stick with the facts. You can't come across as blaming the referees if you shoot straight. At least that's the hope. Here are 15 more facts about the Game 2 officiating. Read the rest of this entry »
|Doc Rivers on Rajon Rondo: 'Phenomenal … tough for him to play that way and not win the game'
|at 1:55 am ET
It was almost as painful as the bulging disk in his back that caused him to wince at the opening of his press conference. Doc RIvers took to the podium after his Celtics lost a heart-breaker in overtime to try and put perspective on his point guard's record-setting night.
Rajon Rondo became the first player in the long, illustrious history of the Celtics to score at least 40 points and dish out at least 10 assists in a playoff game but his mood and the mood of the team was tempered after a 115-111 loss to the Heat Wednesday night that put the Celtics in a 2-0 hole in the Eastern Conference finals. Rondo finished with 44 points, 10 assists and was just two rebounds shy of his fourth triple-double of this playoff season.
"He was absolutely phenomenal," Rivers said. "He put the whole team — at times — on his shoulders. It's tough for him to play that way and not win the game, honestly, because he did basically everything right. We had a lot of opportunities to win the game."
"It's kind of irrelevant," Rondo said. "We lost. It's as simple as that."
Rondo had three steals and just three turnovers, remarkable considering the point guard played all 53 minutes of the epic playoff contest. He became just the eighth player in NBA history to play all 53 minutes of a playoff game. But Rondo maintained that he was not tired in the late stages of the game.
"I felt fine," Rondo said. "It was a mental grind for me, individually, and for us as a team. Kevin played extra minutes, we all did. There's no turning back. It's the conference finals so I wanted to play every minute. I thought I didn't hurt my team by me playing every minute so I wanted to go out there and continue to do the best for my team."
"It just happened during the game," Rivers said of Rondo's minutes. "You just read it. I don't start the game saying I'm going to play Rondo the whole game. I just kind of read the situation. He was playing at a pretty good pace so we just rode him."
Rondo said the Celtics are confident that the home crowd can help them get back in the series. The Celtics enter Friday's Game 3 with a 6-1 home mark at TD Garden in these playoffs and have lost just twice in their last 21 home games dating back to Feb. 13.
"We have the next two at home," Rondo said. "We had two tough losses on the road but it's a seven-game series. We're playing very well at home as of late. We're looking forward to it."
Doc Rivers attempted to hide his frustration with the discrepancy in the fouls Wednesday night as the Celtics fell 115-111 in overtime to the Heat at American Airlines Arena. The Celtics were whistled for 33 fouls while the Heat were called for just 18 in 53 minutes of action.
"It is what it is," Rivers said. "LeBron James took 24 free throws tonight and our team took 29. Paul Pierce fouled out of a game where he was attacking the basket. It's just tough. We have to just keep playing. I tell our guys, 'It doesn't matter. We can't get distracted.' We will not get distracted in this series. I guarantee you, right now, they're distracted, our team in the locker room but we have to get out of us and move on. Whatever happened, happened. We just have to move on and play the next game."
Two key plays will stand out to Celtics fans who feel they were robbed of the chance to win Game 2. Pierce was called for his sixth and final foul with 1:05 when Dwyane Wade drove to the basket and turned his back into Pierce. Then, with the game tied, 105-105, and 1:35 left in overtime, replays show Rondo was raked across the face on a drive to the basket by Wade. There was no call as the Heat scored the next seven points to put the game on ice.
"It was obvious, but I really can't comment about that play in particular. It's part of the game. That was a big swing for us. I think we had the momentum. There was a lot of controversy out there, and it just didn't go our way," Rondo said afterward at the podium next to Ray Allen, who added, "We all thought he got hit, I'll say it."
Rivers joked with a reporter who was asking him to comment on the "50-50" calls that seem to all go against the Celtics in Game 2.
"Can you call it something other than 50-50 calls? Can you come up with another percentage for me?" Rivers said with a smile. "We're not going to blame [the officials]. We have to play better and we will."
|Fast Break: Heat withstand Rajon Rondo's brilliance
|05.30.12 at 11:52 pm ET
Rajon Rondo played all 53 minutes, scoring a career-high 44 points — the final umpteen on fumes — but the Celtics lost a heartbreaker in overtime, 115-111, and trail the Heat 2-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Rondo finished 16-of-24 from the field while adding 10 assists, eight rebounds and three steals in perhaps the greatest game of a career filled with mind-boggling triple-doubles. Paul Pierce (21 points), Kevin Garnett (18 points, 8 rebounds) and Ray Allen (13 points) all exceeded 40 minutes, but the C's ran out of gas.
In the final minute of regulation, Pierce fouled out with 47 seconds remaining, Dwyane Wade made just 1-of-2 free throws to give the Heat a 99-96 lead, Allen connected on a game-tying 3-pointer with 34 seconds left and LeBron James missed a pair of potential game-winning buckets.
But James led Miami with 34 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Wade (23 points) and Mario Chalmers (22 points) were the only other Heat players in double figures. Of course, their 47-29 advantage in free throws (24 for James) and 15 fewer personal fouls helped, too. In the final five minutes and overtime, the Celtics were whistled for 11 fouls to the Heat's two. And Miami took 18 free throws (James 12, Wade 6) to the C's two.
Turd quarter: The Celtics withstood a Heat run to close the second half, even maintaining a less-than-comfortable 71-66 lead 7:36 into the third quarter, but Miami went on a 12-0 run after a Wade block of Allen on the break to snare a six-point lead — just another reminder of how quickly the Heat can ignite offensively. That stretch featured Wade's awakening and, of course, a couple more James free throws.
Mario cart: While most of the Heat couldn't connect throughout the first half –shooting just 15-of-41 (36.6 FG%) from the field as a team — bit player Chalmers carried Miami when its superstars struggled. His 14 points and four assists in the opening two quarters help offset Rondo's sensational first-half stretch.
Hitting the deck: Maybe Greg Stiemsma took Rondo's "hit the deck" comments a little too literally. He picked up four personal fouls in his first three minutes of action, and while Doc Rivers nearly earned himself another technical foul, most were completely deserved. That meant Stiemsma, who had played quite well in limited Game 1 action, gave way to Ryan Hollins, who proceeded to dribble into a sea of Heat defenders and turn the ball over.
|Irish Coffee: Marquis Daniels to the Celtics' rescue?
|at 11:24 am ET
The Celtics ran into this same question last season, and surely will have to answer it next year and the year after that: Who gives Paul Pierce a break defending LeBron James?
James played 44 minutes in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, and Pierce was on the floor for 40 of them. While chasing the NBA MVP around as he took 30 percent of Miami's 72 field goal attempts and scored 32 of the Heat's 93 points, the Celtics captain had little left in the tank on the offensive end.
Pierce finished with 12 points on 5-of-18 field goals and failed to get to the free throw line, where he's made his bones on a bum knee during this playoff run. It was only the third time in his career he didn't attempt a foul shot in a playoff game, and two of those have come since he sprained the MCL in his left knee.
Jeff Green was supposed to be the guy who could spare Pierce for even a handful of minutes, and he actually did a fairly good job against James in the 2011 playoffs, but that hope ended in heart surgery and a lost season. Then, Mickael Pietrus showed potential as that guy, but he's had to assume the backup duties to Ray Allen on Dwyane Wade in Avery Bradley's absence, and that problem is only becoming more complicated.
That leaves Celtics coach Doc Rivers with Sasha Pavlovic and Marquis Daniels as his last two options.
