Will the PTA Champion Ending Junk Food Marketing in Schools?
Researchers from Yale University have called on parents to take action on junk food marketing in schools. In an editorial published in JAMA Pediatrics they detailed how marketers have taken advantage of tight school budgets to turn places of learning into ads for soda, fast food, cookies and candy. Almost two-thirds of elementary schools provide food coupons as … Continue reading

School Wellness Aids Budget Battle for Education

Like the Switch Witch? Thoughtful Reduction for the Rest of Sugar Season
My appreciation for the Halloween Sweet Swap grows with each passing year. It was wonderful to wake up the day after Halloween without a family sugar hangover and kids who were excited to find out what the tooth fairy had left in place of the candy. It's a bit like Christmas morning without the exhaustion of spending … Continue reading
A Tale of 3 Ads: WalMart, Kroger, Aldi

Once again, the shopper is posed in the produce aisle but the only unprocessed food on … Continue reading
The Sugar Season is Starting
You may think it's back to school season but walk into your local grocery store you'll see the candy manufacturers have something else in mind. We are at the beginning of what I call the sugar season. It goes from now until Easter and every year it seems to start earlier and grows even bigger. For those of us … Continue reading

Popular for mall walkers, especially since the mall "footprint" opens up about an hour before the stores. Several mall coffee shops are also open this early.
The food on the menu for lunch was mouth watering. Nick's Lake House offers a variety of foods to choose from. Burgers, Fish, Steak, Salads, Pizza and more. No one was disappointed with the choices available. We placed our orders rather quickly as more than half of us are starving artists literally! We get hungry and want to be fed quickly. A few people ordered Grilled Reuben's, one of us ordered a small personal Pizza, another had an Italian Sausage Sandwich and one of us ordered a burger with fries. I got to splurge on myself a little so I ordered a house spinach salad with sirloin steak medium rare.
While the food has Hawaiian names, it is basically Mexican food, but it is pretty darn good Mexican food. Wahoo's Fish Taco is a very dinner around me facility. Since it is located on the strand you will mostly see patrons in bikinis and bathing suits, now that is pretty casual.
Also on the menu at the Specialty Sandwich Co. are full platters with haddock or burgers, charcoal-grilled meat sandwiches, Cuban Specialty Subs, Chicken Quesadillas, appetizers, salads, French Bread Pizzas, and Gourmet French Bread Pizzas.
The dining experience starts out with a homemade loaf of bread, and a platter of homemade bruschetta. You don't have to order it as an appetizer unless you really love it and have to have more, because this is included in the price of your meal. All dinners platters also come with a fresh salad. Then comes the meal. There are so many delicious things to choose from from simple pasta and meatballs to creatively prepared chicken, veal, and seafood platters.
Pasta Pomodoro is a casual Italian dining experience and the prices are reasonable. The service is great and the menu is extensive. Pasta Pomodoro is a definite must if you are interested in a casual authentic Italian dining experience.
The most popular time to see this falls is in summer. A must watch Maid of the Mist can only be seen from April to October. But going in this season may cost you a little bit higher in hotel rates.

Indian Summer
We have been having a bit of an Indian Summer this year and today was another day of almost unbroken sunshine. I managed a trip down to the canal basin in Gravesend then a run out to Northfleet. I saw that the demolition of the old Blue Circle plant has started. As I was thinking of doing a 36 Things with the two chimneys of the plant I had better get a move on !

Letting go of Old Friends.
I am sure I have said this before but the time has now come to start saying good-bye to some old friends.
We have been together for almost a quarter of a century. Been through all sorts of scrapes together. Shared some bad times and some amazing times, seen things that many people will never have the chance to see. Both of us have come out the other side looking slightly older and with more character, also we are both functioning almost as well as we did 'back in the day'

Tidy Up
Every year or so I like to give my desk a good clean up. With all the computer kit I have running, the desk becomes a dust magnet. It is not an easy job as I can only just lift the monitors. This time I have rerun all the cables so I can switch of all non essential bits of kit each night, so all that will stay on are the phones, broadband and the radio network.
The desk is now very much tidier than it was, honest!
After I have finished the desk I will have to tidy the rest f the studio!

36 Things
I was trying to think of something different for a montage and came up with the idea of '36 Things'.
A montage of 36 images laid out in a 6x6 grid, all the images would be linked by a theme. The theme can be anything at all, colour, location, subject, time or whatever.
Also 36 seems to be a reasonable number. Fits in an A4 or A3 print and gives a reasonable size of image, it can be made landscape or portrait format. It also has a resonance back to the days of film with 36 images being the length of 35mm film that was sold.

Rusty Tops
A simple image from the found items from yesterday. The background is a little piece of slate that I found on the beach. Not very large but an interesting texture and it will be ideal for the macro images I am shooting at the moment.
Test Prints
I received back some test prints today. They were produce on an Epson 3800, and run with generic profiles, so in some ways can be taken as the worst case prints form this machine.
The results were fantastic, far better than I had been running from my own very geriatric printer.
One set was printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. This is a paper I know well as I have been using it for most of the printing I have produced over the past few years. It has a high gloss surface and looks very similar to a traditional gloss RC photographic paper.
The second printed on Somerset Enhanced Textured paper. This looks like a water colour paper with quite a rough texture. The images printed on this have a better 'feel' than the gloss finish.
I see that Epson have just announced the 3880 which is the next generation printer in this range.
With the slightly improved ink set in the x880 printer range, a custom profile, and some experiment with colour space for my images. I know I will see some fantastic prints from whatever printer I choose to buy.

Dungeness Trip
Had a trip down to Dungeness to try and do some beach close ups. The weather did not clear out as forecast and the wind was so strong that everything was moving. That said I managed to get some images and some bits to play with back at the studio.

Stop Spending Hours Analyzing your Commercial Real Estate Deals
You're looking for your first (or next) apartment building but you're not sure how to properly analyze the deal. Or you do, but it's taking you too long to answer these critical questions:
- What is the MOST I can pay for this deal, and why? (In 10 Minutes or Less)
- What are my projected profits (and for my investors)?
- How should I structure the deal with my investors?
- What's the most profitable exit strategy?
You know that answering these questions will take you hours — but you can't afford to spend several hours analyzing every deal you get. The more deals you can analyze quickly, the more likely you'll find the deal that will work for you.
Introducing The Free Video Course
"How to Analyze Apartment Building Deals"
Let me teach you a better way to analyze deals. In this FREE 8-Part Video Course I teach you everything you need to know about how to analyze apartment building deals, from the first time you get a deal from your broker all the way through due diligence, closing and final exit.
I'll show you how to analyze an apartment building deal using a real-live case study, a 54-unit with considerable vacancy and upside. I'll take you from the initial 10-minute analysis, estimating investor returns, and how much to pay yourself to estimating closing costs and the most profitable exit strategy. If you've read my free eBook "The Secret To Raising Money to Buy Your First Apartment Building" you already know about the "Sample Deal Package" and we'll cover how to do that in this course as well.
Here's what you will learn in this 8-part video course:
Module # 1 – Introducing Key Financial Concepts
In this section I'll cover key financial concepts like cap rate, cash-on-cash return, average annual return, debt coverage ratio and other indicators that are critical to understand if you're going to analyze deals. To learn these concepts, we'll create a spreadsheet from scratch to begin analyzing our 54-unit apartment building deal.
BONUS: At the end of the course, I'll email you the actual spreadsheet to keep.
Module # 2 – The 10-Minute Analysis: how to answer the question "what is the MOST I can pay for this apartment building and why?"
In this video, I'll show you how to answer the question "what is the MOST I can pay for this apartment building deal?" We'll first use our custom-built spreadsheet from Module # 1 and then use the Syndicated Deal Analyzer to incorporate some more advanced (but important!) concepts.
Regardless of what approach you use, you don't want to spend more than 10 minutes in your initial analysis because
- As you're looking for other apartment buildings to buy, you can't afford to spend hours analyzing each deal;
- You need to get back to the broker or seller quickly with something like "this deal doesn't quite work for me, and here's why"; and
- You want to get the negotiation process as quickly as possible and with the least amount of effort.
The 10-Minute Analysis satisfies all 3 of these requirements.
Module # 3 – Understanding Investor Returns (And How to Structure the Deal)
In this video we'll talk about what kind of returns investors look for and different ways to structure the deal. We'll look at the effect of the investor returns on our deal analysis. Quickly being able to incorporate your investors into the analysis is key when buying apartment buildings with private investors.
Module # 4 – How Much to Compensate Yourself as the Syndicator
Learn how you can pay yourself when you're syndicating an apartment building deal. See the effect of paying yourself at different points of the transaction in the financial model.
Module # 5 – Fine Tuning the P&L Projections (A Necessity for Value-Add Deals!)
Learn how to fine tune the projections with your particular business plan. Perhaps the vacancies and expenses are high, or rents are below market. If you could raise rents by 20% and lower expenses by 15% over the next 3 years, what impact would that have on your projections and your investors' returns? Being able to
Module # 6 – Estimating Acquisition and Closing Costs
Due diligence expenses and closing costs are often over-looked by real estate investors, and estimating them quickly and accurately are key for investing in apartment buildings. In this module we use rules of thumb to estimate closing and due diligence costs. As you progress through due diligence, you're able to override some of these values so that your estimates become more and more accurate.
Module # 7 – Determining the Most Profitable Exit Strategy
What produces the best return? A sale in Year 4 or 7? What if you refinance after the third year and hold for the next 7 years? I'll show you how to model different scenarios so that you can determine which one produces the highest returns for you and your investors.
Module # 8 – Reviewing the Deal and Creating the Deal Package
In this video, we put it all together! We'll review the deal as we've analyzed it so far, including what we're paying ourselves and what our investors' projected returns are. When we're all done, we'll use the Syndicated Deal Analyzer to produce a Deal Package we can give to our investors.

No doubt you've heard that old chestnut, "You get what you pay for," time and time again. Well you can rest assured that when it comes to furniture, particularly a piece that gets as much use as a sofa, hunting down what seems like a bargain may make you happy in the short term, but will most likely leave you frustrated over time.
One of the biggest mistakes people make when shopping for a sofa is trying to buy what they think they can afford, or view a potential purchase from the perspective of, "Well, this is going to go into a room that gets 'beat up' by my children or pets, so I should buy a piece that is inexpensive and of a lesser quality." That is exactly the opposite of what they should do. People should be thinking, "I want to buy an item of premium quality so it doesn't deteriorate or show wear as quickly." Bottom line – better quality furniture will last longer.
Think of the mechanic who works on your car, he probably doesn't buy his wrenches and sockets at a discount store because these are his tools he uses every day and they are important to him. He needs to know he can count on them to function properly so he is going to pay more, knowing he needs his tools to perform and last.
People typically approach buying a new sofa with the mindset that they want it to fit into a particular price point, rather than deciding to buy a high-quality piece and then figuring out how to pay for it. We get it, people want to save money, but with available payment options such as financing and layaway, consumers are far better off spending a little more to buy something that is of premium quality. The reality is that they will actually save money in the long run because the piece will last far longer, and not require replacing as soon as a lesser-quality product.
When it comes to comparing sofas, it isn't always easy to tell which furniture is well-made, and which manufacturers are cutting corners. Even a name brand that you recognize may not be of the same quality it was a few decades ago, while a piece of furniture made by a brand you've never even heard of might be the best value. This is why it is important to know a few key things to look for before you start shopping for your next sofa.
5 Tips for Buying a Sofa
- Hardwood Frame
The best frames are made from kiln-dried hardwoods, such as oak or maple, that won't warp or twist. Kiln drying removes all moisture from the wood, which allows it to retain its strength and stability over a longer period of time. It's best to avoid plywood and particleboard frames, especially if they are held together with staples. However, if you do choose a sofa with a plywood frame, make sure it has at least 11-13 layers.
- Coil-Spring Sofa
Spring construction is what creates the foundation for a durable and comfortable sofa. As a consumer, you will want to know what the springs are made of, how they are supported under the seat, and how they are secured to the frame. The best support is provided by eight-way, hand tied coils, where each coil is tied and knotted in eight different directions to other springs, and then tied to the frame with strong twine. Another good option is sinuous spring construction. Sinuous springs are shaped like an "S" and run from the front of the seat to the back. They are supported by additional wires that cross from side to side. Furniture of lesser quality will only have 5 or 6 coils per cushion, if they even use coils.
- Corner Block and Dowel Frames
Look for sofas that are double-doweled at all major joints, as it will keep the joints from loosening and pulling apart. In addition, make sure the corner blocks that reinforce the frame are both glued and screwed into place. If blocks are only stapled in place they can pull away from the frame.
- Quality of seat cushion foam on sofa
One common cushion filling is polyurethane foam, which is a low-cost and easy-care cushion. But the more durable, high-density foam can feel too hard, and softer, low-density foam tends to deteriorate quickly with frequent use. A good choice is high-resilient foam – it is slightly more expensive, but more comfortable and long-lasting. You will also want to look for a foam density rating of at least 1.8 pounds. Better quality sofa cushions tend to have density ratings ranging from 1.8 to 2.5.
- Wear-tested fabrics
If your sofa is for everyday use, as so many are, you will want to select a durable fabric. Some of the best choices are cotton, linen and synthetic microfiber, which can mimic most fabrics and is stain resistant. Another excellent choice for sofas that will be in high-traffic areas is Sunbrella, which is 100% acrylic, stain resistant, cleans with water and is good for families with small children or pets.
Don't make the mistake of skimping on your next sofa. Carefully evaluate your options and choose the best sofa you can afford, not one that will leave you uncomfortable and frustrated in just a few years. If you are overwhelmed with all of the options available, don't worry, the expert team members at the Furniture Superstore are available to answer all of your questions and help you select the best sofa for you.

Scheduling Optimizer, Surgery
2017 Caught You Caring recipient
Joyce Enochs has been the face of Patient Experience for the Perioperative Services Department for the last three years. Her enthusiasm has been the driving force for the team to continue to increase the experience for our families. In her role, she has taken on many projects to increase the patient experience for thousands of patients and families. Her work on appropriate and consistent communication for pre-op information has dramatically decreased errors in arrival time, location of surgery, and eating and drinking instructions. Her work on "truth in scheduling" has decreased the daily cancellation rate on day of surgery from 8 percent to 3 percent. What an impact her work has had on the patient experience to decrease the numbers of patients sent back home on the day of surgery! These are just a few of the examples of Joyce showing compassion in her daily work that earned her the 2017 Caught You Caring Award.

Welcome to our Anniversary Blog by resident blogger Jake Hope. Jake will be reading and reviewing all of the past CILIP Carnegie Medal winning books during the anniversary year. We are also asking shadowers to "Adopt a Book" and join in reading and discussing the anniversary titles in their shadowing groups.
"I was curious, of course. I thought about the box all the time, long after Mum stopped going on about it. I dreamed about it a few times. Once I dreamed it contained a severed head. I knew it was Grandad's even though it was completely wrapped in bandages. I could tell that the head was speaking because I could see the bandages over the mouth moving in and out, but I couldn't hear what it was saying. These dreams weren't really nightmares. In them I wasn't terrified. I felt sorry for the head. I wanted to help it but didn't know how."
Struggling to come to terms with the suicide of her grandfather, Tamar examines and pieces together a series of documents and letters entrusted to her by her grandparent. In so doing, she discovers more about his role during the Dutch Resistance in 1945 when the country was under the harsh grip of Nazi occupation following the Hunger Winter of 1944. Through the documents, Tamar uncovers much of the suffering and desperation of war and its long-lasting impact and aftermath.
Told across two time periods, 1995 and 1945, the book deftly brings into contrast the onset of adulthood and the growing sense of responsibility as compared with its closure. Ideas of control and of mental health run through the book as too do themes of love and hope as pillars for resilience, even through periods of extreme adversity.
The box belonging to Tamar's grandfather provides a sense of mystery and ultimately serves as a bridge between the two elements of the story. The revelations about Tamar's family towards the end of the novel are complex and lever a shift in how readers regard her identity and family. A powerful story about coming to terms with and making sense of our past and the influence this wields over our present.
Dutch Resistance / brilliant / powerful / spies /
"Secrets- Lies- Jealousy- Betrayal. Can you handle the truth? A gripping tale set during the Hunger Winter of 1944 with a cracking plot twist. 'The past is a dark house and we only have torches with dying batteries.'"

Florida Atlantic is hoping to avoid the dubious distinction of holding the title as the worst program in Sun Belt Conference history.
The Owls have lost 14 straight conference games, dating back to late in the 2010 season. The record for consecutive conference losses is held by North Texas, which dropped 15 straight from 2007-09.
With Troy coming to town Saturday and Western Kentucky its next SBC game on Nov. 10, this program, which has declined steadily since sharing the conference title in 2007, appears ready to bottom out.
Coach Carl Pelini knows FAU will not stop this skid – the Owls have lost 20-of-21 against teams from Division I-A – unless it learns how to put teams away and fight through adversity.
When FAU took a two touchdown lead last week at South Alabama, Pelini's first thought was – Let's see how we handle it.
"We did not handle it well," he said.
FAU allowed two late touchdowns and lost in double overtime.
"Offensively I thought we were really clicking but we didn't have that killer instinct," Pelini said. "That was as good an offensive game as we've played, two fourth downs strung together in the fourth quarter would have ended the game.
"When the pressure's on there's a lack of confidence on our football team. Not a lack of effort. You start seeing guys doing things that you didn't see them do in the first three quarters thinking they got to do something extra or something different but that's not the case."

New PRO Features – Offline Mode, Web Push Notifications, Search and More
The PWACommerce PRO plugin has finally been released! 🙂
It comes with a brand new set of features, expanding the PRO version into Progressive Web Apps territory:
- Offline Mode*
The application's files are cached for offline usage together with the content. In order to pass the offline mode check in Chrome Lighthouse, it is enough to cache the app shell (the application's files) and inform the user that the app is currently offline.
We went beyond that and cached the app's content as well. Categories and products are saved in the browser's local storage while your users navigate through the app, together with products added to the shopping cart. This offers a full app-like experience to your users, allowing them to continue using the app even when they don't have a network connection.
Caching content is also useful for decreasing loading times. The rendering process is almost instant, even when navigating from screen to screen.
- Web Push Notifications*
We have integrated with the OneSignal WordPress plugin, allowing you to engage users through push notifications. This is one of the most requested PWA features, proven to increase user engagement by up to 4x.
* Offline mode and Web Push Notifications are implemented using service workers, so they are currently available on Chrome.
- Products Search
This was one of the most requested features. We have added a new search box in the top bar, allowing users to search through products.
- Infinite Scrolling for Categories and Products List.
We have added categories & products pagination through infinite scrolling. When the user reaches the bottom of the list, the next page of categories & products will be loaded from the API. This is a completely transparent process for the user: the loading of new content is almost instant, without interrupting the navigating experience.
- Updated Project Dependencies
Since JavaScript packages are quickly evolving, we made sure the app uses the latest technologies by updating React and all other project dependencies to their latest versions.
Future Roadmap
Our plan for PWACommerce is to continue integrating with the WooCommerce REST API, for example adding support for pages or writing product reviews directly from the app. In addition, some of the above features (search, infinite scrolling for lists) and other bug fixes will also make their way into the Lite version.
If you would like to contribute with a pull request or request a feature, please go to our Github repository.

Ciments Francais strengthened six cents (or 0.1 per cent) to close at €59.30, ending a four-day streak of losses. The price is at a discount of three per cent to the one-month volume weighted average price of €61.16, which may appeal as a value proposition. Compared with the Dow Jones Industrial index, which fell 1.1 points (or 0.01 per cent) on the day, this was a relative price change of 0.1 per cent.
Volatility: the stock traded between an intraday high of €59.80 and a 19-day low of €58.19, suggesting a trading opportunity between peaks and troughs.

Perhaps nobody in the history of Christianity has so clearly understood the power of humor and wit to indicate truth as Gilbert Keith Chesterton did. G.K., as he was known, was a writer who was also dubbed the "prince of paradox" because of his uncanny ability to formulate short but insightful sentences that seemed, at first, to smack of wrongness only to give way to sublime truth. He was educated in both art and literature but never received a degree in either subject. Instead, he became associated with publishing houses and freelance journalism. He had been raised a nominal Christian but found himself fascinated by religious and philosophical subjects from a relatively young age. Consequently, he "drifted" closer and closer to the Church as the years wore on and his writings led him closer and closer to Truth. He was an apologist of a sort that was difficult to confront. His humility and compassion in the presence of his opponents presented them with ample opportunities to demonstrate their own conceit or ruthlessness if any was present in them. It wasn't enough for G.K. to win arguments and debate--he truly wanted to love people even as he contradicted them.
G.K. wrote many books--both fiction and non-fiction--which are still reprinted and read today. Once he was asked by the writers of the British newspaper The Times to add his voice to a chorus of highly regarded thinkers and speakers on the subject: "What's wrong with the world?" The great minds of the day were given room to make their arguments for inherent flaws of the world as they saw it. G.K., however, took a different approach and tendered the briefest of all responses when he wrote:
"Dear Sirs,Though it was clearly a humorous and witty response, it was also a statement of G.K.'s deeply held Christian convictions. In this witty response, G.K. was able to insist upon the fallen nature of humanity and its own need for redemption from some outside source. The humor of the letter enabled its message to slip by the intellectual defenses of the readers and lodge a particularly potent paradox within their minds.
I am.
Sincerely yours,
G.K. Chesterton"
G.K. can only truly be understood by reading his work and contributions to the faith. Accordingly, I will close with a selection of some of my favorite quotes:
"By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece."
"Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions."
"The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people."
"You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it."
"Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who merely happen to be walking about."
"The men who really believe in themselves are all in lunatic asylums."
"The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected."
"There is a certain poetic value, and that a genuine one, in this sense of having missed the full meaning of things. There is beauty, not only in wisdom, but in this dazed and dramatic ignorance."
"The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man."
"Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously."
"It is idle to talk always of the alternative of reason and faith. Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all."

NEW YORK — The hard-hitting safety who brought thunder to the Rockies will continue to wait to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
John Lynch, a former Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star, wasn't among the seven chosen by voters Saturday for Hall of Fame induction this summer in Canton, Ohio. Lynch, one of 15 finalists, didn't make the cut to the round of 10 players.
Hall of Famers in the Class of 2014 include Seahawks offensive tackle Walter Jones, Buccaneers linebacker Derrick Brooks, Bills wide receiver Andre Reed, Rams and Cardinals defensive back Aeneas Williams and Giants defensive end Michael Strahan. Also making it as "senior candidates" were Raiders punter Ray Guy and Claude Humphrey, a defensive end with the Falcons and Eagles.
The group was announced during the NFL Honors show at Radio City Music Hall.
Lynch was a longshot to be inducted this year. But it's a positive sign that he was a finalist in just his second year of eligibility.
"I'm trying not to have a whole lot of expectations," Lynch told The Denver Post on Friday. "I'm trying to find some way to enjoy the process. How you do that is appreciate that people think highly enough of you to be in this conversation."
Bolstering Lynch's future candidacy is his nine Pro Bowl selections. Only Hall of Famer Ken Houston, with 10, has more among safeties. Also, Lynch helped anchor the famed Super Bowl-winning Tampa Bay defense of 2002, along with Hall of Fame tackle Warren Sapp and Brooks, who became a Hall of Famer in his first year of eligibility.
Brooks was chosen for 11 Pro Bowls in 14 seasons with the Buccaneers, was a five-time first-team all-pro and the NFL's defensive player of the year in 2002, when he returned three interceptions for touchdowns. Brooks also returned an interception for a touchdown in the Buccaneers' victory over the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII.
He also was a giant off the field, winning the league's Walter Payton man of the year award in 2000.
Though the selection of Brooks as a first-year inductee was a no-doubter, he clearly was moved by the news. He tweeted: "Thought of tonight is JOY, HUMILITY and gratefulness, I'm in the Hall of Fame Now."
Reed, who helped Buffalo advance to four Super Bowls but never got a championship ring, had to wait a long time to be a Hall of Famer. He had been an eight-time finalist. He ranks fifth in NFL history with 85 postseason receptions — a remarkable statistic considering that the Bills' offense ran the ball 51 percent of the time during his career.
Strahan's selection also was expected — even though Sapp, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame last summer, took a very public shot at Strahan last week by saying that he didn't think Strahan deserved to be in the Hall of Fame.
Guy, whose booming punts made him a terrific weapon for the Raiders, made history Saturday with his selection. Drafted by the Raiders in the first round in 1973, Guy became the first punter to be selected for Hall of Fame induction. His eligibility as a modern-era candidate had expired. Now he joins Jan Stenerud as the only Hall of Fame kickers in NFL history.

Pro football hall of fame class of 2014
* Derrick Brooks, linebacker, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
One of the most impactful linebackers in NFL history, Brooks never missed a game in his 14-seasons with the Buccaneers. A 2000s all-decade selection, the six-time All-Pro intercepted 25 passes, returned six for touchdowns, forced 24 fumbles and had 13 ½ sacks. Along with teammate and fellow 2014 nominee John Lynch, Brooks helped bring a championship to Tampa Bay in the 2002 season.
* Ray Guy, punter, Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders
He became the first punter elected to the Hall of Fame, but he waited 22 years for the honor after being a finalist for the first time in 1992. He was selected by the Raiders in the first round of the 1973 draft. Since 2000, the Ray Guy Award has been awarded to the nation's top collegiate punter.
* Claude Humphrey, defensive end, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles
Had 122 career sacks in 171 games and helped lead the Eagles to Super Bowl XV with a team-high 14 ½ sacks. It should be noted that sacks were not an official statistic during his career.
* Walter Jones, tackle, Seattle Seahawks
The athletic, 6-foot-5, 300-pounder protected the blind sides of nine different Seahawks quarterbacks, including Pro Bowlers Warren Moon and Matt Hasselbeck. Jones allowed just 23 sacks and was whistled for a mere nine holding penalties in 180 career games. He was a member of the NFL's 2000s all-decade team.
* Andre Reed, receiver, Buffalo Bills
Reed was the go-to slot receiver for Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly and helped the Bills go to four Super Bowls. Reed and Kelly hooked up 663 times, the most by a quarterback-receiver tandem until 2004 when the Colts' Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison broke their record.
* Michael Strahan, defensive end, New York Giants
Strahan was an unstoppable force on the defensive line, setting the single-season record with 22 ½ sacks in 2001. Strahan retired after leading the Giants to 17-14 upset of the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Strahan was a complete player, stuffing running backs while notching 141 ½ career sacks.
* Aeneas Williams, defensive back, Arizona Cardinals, St. Louis Rams.
Williams had an incredible knack for scoring defensive touchdowns. He returned nine interceptions for touchdowns (fourth all-time) and three fumbles. By the end of his career, Williams racked up 55 interceptions.
* Elected as a senior candidate.

A Terrifying Sight
Anyone would be as terrified as this man at the sight of a tree-man with a pumpkin head. The boys playing the trick are highly gratified at the success of their invention.
Our prints are created by a process named for a French word for spray'. The inks used in this process have a much higher resistance to fading than lithographic printing inks, which makes this kind of printing particularly suitable for prints being used in wall decor.
These prints are made at our location in Seattle, WA. They have a thick, white backing board and are sealed in clear bags. Each is suitable for framing at 11 inches x 14 inches or can be used as is for wall display. Our goal is to bring back to life these wonderful illustrations from old-fashioned, children's books and from early advertising art.

Michael Ovitz developing Tom Clancy's HOMELAND SECURITY for TNT
Michael Ovitz is developing Tom Clancy's Homeland Security with TNT. THR reports that the project, "a procedural revolving around a team of domestic intelligence operatives who battle enemies at home and abroad." The project is being written by Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Clancy and Chris George.
Ovitz will executive produce, which will be the former Walt Disney Co. topper and CAA co-founder's first television on-screen credit. Grillo-Marxuach (Lost), George and Clancy will also serve as exec producers. Homeland Security marks a rare TV endeavor for Clancy.
I ama fan off the Jack Ryan films and am interested to see this procedural drama on the small screen. TNT is one of my personal favorite networks aside from AMC and HBO for shows. What are your thoughts on this news?

Greene frustrated, but no ODU regrets
By ODU Athletics
Feb. 27, 2002
By HARRY MINIUM, The Virginian-Pilot © February 25, 2002 Copyright (c) 2002, the Virginian Pilot Reprinted with permission
NORFOLK -- Pierre Greene recently toured the Ted Constant Center, the plush basketball arena scheduled to open next season at Old Dominion University. He can only imagine what it will be like with 8,600 screaming fans inside.
``It's just gorgeous,'' he said of the $71 million facility.
That he will never play there as a Monarch is only one of many frustrations the ODU senior must deal with as his career winds down.
Greene came to ODU from the south side of Chicago after rejecting scholarship offers from Illinois and DePaul. He did so in part because he was promised he would play in the new arena, whose construction started years later than anticipated.
Tonight, he plays his final home game as a senior in the team's last game at the ODU field house when the Monarchs host George Mason.
His first season the Monarchs went 25-9, beating Big East member Seton Hall in the NIT. Since that year, he admits, ``Things just haven't been right since.''
The Monarchs were 11-19 his sophomore year and 13-18 last season, back-to-back campaigns that led to coach Jeff Capel's resignation.
Now he is the only senior on a team that has won three in a row, but is 13-14.
Greene had big dreams when he came to ODU. He promised a CAA championship ring to his parents -- his mother is a Chicago postal worker and his father a driver for Greyhound. And why not? ODU had won league titles and gone to the NCAA tournament two of the four seasons before his signing.
But barring a sweep of the CAA tournament, it won't happen.
``Pierre has had a tough lot in life, to come into what should be a season that's a crowning achievement and he's surrounded by change,'' ODU coach Blaine Taylor said. ``There's a little bit of sadness in that he will be a guy remembered for being part of the transition rather than enjoying some of the good things that are to come.''
In spite of his improved play recently, his senior year has been something of a nightmare, and not just because the Monarchs lost seven of eight games in one stretch.
``With coach Capel, you knew what to expect, you knew how he ran his system and how to go about doing your business,'' Greene said. ``Coach Taylor's a good guy, but it's different. It's the type of adjustment I wouldn't advise anyone to make in their last year. It's like starting over.''
Greene is ODU's acknowledged leader and not just because he is a senior. He's also the team's most mature player. Perhaps being a father helps..
Kayla Greene was born when Greene was a sophomore. He and the child's mother live apart, but Pierre says he plays a major role in the 2-year-old's life. When he isn't practicing or playing at night, he cares for Kayla while her mother works.
``If you see Pierre with his daughter, and see how he treats that little girl, it's just wonderful to be around,'' Taylor said.
Greene said he's skipped the party scene at ODU because of his daughter.
``Having a daughter makes me value things,'' Greene said. ``I can't go out and get into a bar fight because my daughter looks up to me. You have to be smart about the things you're doing, the things you say.''
Greene's maturity also showed last winter after the coaching change. Many of his teammates stopped working out and some began cutting classes. Greene called them together for a tongue-lashing.
``I told them they were only hurting themselves, that you're giving the new coach a chance to say your grades aren't good enough and you're not in shape and we don't need you,'' he said.
Greene has subjugated his scoring this season for the good of the team. His average is down, from 11.7 to 10 points a game. His 44 percent shooting percentage would be among the CAA's leaders if he'd taken enough shots to qualify.
Taylor says Greene has improved over last season. But after being selected a second-team All-CAA choice last season and a preseason first-team choice this season, he has little hope of similar postseason honors.
Nonetheless, Greene hopes his basketball career carries beyond March. He works out each summer with NBA players in Chicago, Michael Jordan among them. He says he hopes his connections will help him play in the CBA or the NBA developmental league and eventually the NBA.
``It's not where you went to school or how many times you were on ESPN, but what you can do on the court that matters,'' said Greene, who will graduate with a degree in communications in May. ``If that doesn't work out, I will have my degree.''
In spite of his problems at ODU, he said he has few regrets. ``I wanted a change in atmosphere,'' he said. ``My whole life, all I knew was the Midwest. I felt like that by going to DePaul and staying in the city, I wouldn't have a chance to mature as a young man. Here, I've matured a lot.'' Mainly because of adversity.
``When I reflect on the past couple of years, it's been a good experience,'' he said. ``It hasn't gone like I wanted because I wanted to win.
``But at the same time, I've learned from all my defeats. I feel like I'm a better person because of all I went through. I've met people who will be my friends for life, and learned lessons I'll never forget.''

A 30-minute stew that's healthy, beautiful and full of fresh flavors.So it's not quite summer, I know. However, while this recipe is delicious now, it will be even better in the summer months when the corn and tomatoes are are at the peak of their season.
Full of mild, flaky and buttery fish, sweet and sightly crunchy corn, bright green spring asparagus, tomatoes and smoky spices — it's simply a bowl of heaven!
And it's just so pretty, isn't it?
You can whip this up inside of 30 minutes!
- olive oil for the pan
- ⅓ cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- ¾ cup teardrop tomatoes sliced in half or fourths
- 1⅔ cups coconut water
- ⅓ cup roughly chopped fresh dill
- 1 large ear of corn approximately 1¼ cup
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- approximately 1¼-pound fresh cod fillet or other mild white fish you might like, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1⅓ cups steamed asparagus cut into bite-sized pieces
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Coat the bottom of a large sauté pan with olive oil and place it over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Mix in the tomato paste the best you can and then add the tomatoes and dill to the pan.
Pour the coconut water over the ingredients and stir gently to combine. Turn the heat to low and let this simmer for about 5 minutes.
Remove the corn kernels from the cob, and use the back of a knife, holding the cob upright, to scrape out as much of the juices as possible. Add the corn and whatever juice you've been able to collect to the pan.
Add the paprika and stir to blend.
Add the fish and move it around a bit to be sure it has all been coated with the liquid. Turn the heat to medium and gently stirring from time to time, sauté just until it's cooked through. It should done within about 7 minutes.
Mix in the asparagus, season to taste with salt and pepper and serve. (Here's How to Season to Taste.)

Ruminations on a monument, or the place that could be Colorado Canyons National Park
ON THE EDGE OF THE UNCOMPAHGRE PLATEAU on Grand Junction, Colorado's southern skyline, Colorado National Monument glows in the Colorado Plateau sunset. There is much talk these days about the potential for the monument, whose boosters say has a name more befitting a granite obelisk than a 20,000 acre canyon-riddled wilderness, to become a national park called Colorado Canyons National Park.
Having lived in Grand Junction and visited Colorado National Monument more times than I can count (on a weekly basis while I lived there), it's hard to deny that the landscape protected within its boundaries is extraordinary. The monument is like Canyonlands National Park, only a tiny fraction of the size and on the edge of a sprawling city. And, the CCC-built Rim Rock Drive is without a doubt one of the most unforgettable and spectacular road cycling routes in all of Colorado. No trip to GJ for me is complete without a pedal up to the top of the Monument via Cold Shivers Point.
Whether Congress should re-designate the monument a national park is up for heated debate (and, frankly, I'm not sure myself) but whatever its fate, it will remain one of my favorite places in Colorado.
If you live in Mesa County, it's easy to take the monument a bit for granted. Spend the evening after getting off work taking a hike up No Thoroughfare Canyon, no camera in hand. An all-too-frequent occurrence, hence the shamefully few Colorado National Monument images in my collection. Nonetheless, I have a few, and these will give you an idea what's found amid those glowing redrock cliffs above Grand Junction. You can also check out my Colorado National Monument gallery on my website here.
Back in the day, there were people who wanted to turn the monument into a national park, expand the boundaries and protect this, the Mee Canyon Alcove, now part of the Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness adjacent to the monument. If the monument were to become a national park under the current unofficial proposal, Mee Canyon would not be included in the park.

Michelle and Michael | Salt Lake City Wedding
Michelle and Michael live in New York City, but came back to their home state of Utah to be married in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. They had a simple, elegant reception at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building and I really enjoyed photographing this photogenic couple. It was just an easy, breezy affair that was a lovely celebration of the two of them. They weren't wrapped up in a million wedding details, and that was really nice to see.

From Liz Hayward:
I took four dogs to dog shows this weekend, one of them was a young Labrador that I own with a family about an hour away from my home. I had seen the dog off and on for the past year but she has had no real training other than coming to puppy class. This pup is clicker wise. I stayed in a hotel and had to bring each dog up to the fourth floor of the hotel! Pearl had never been in an elevator and decided to put the breaks on—there was no way she was taking a step into that scary looking place with the shiny floor.
Luckily I did have the clicker and treats in my pocket from the dog show. Pearl pulled away from me, her back feet digging into the carpet and she almost pulled out of her collar—a major reaction. I got out the clicker and waited—as soon as she stopped pulling and slightly shifted her weight forward I clicked—she came forward to get her treat—her favorite—liver. I clicked again, she ate again. I stepped toward the elevator (we were about 8 steps away at this point), she followed. Three clicks later she stepped into the elevator and the three folks waiting for us—holding the elevator door all clapped!
Start to finish this took less than 30 seconds. I saw a shift in Pearl at the very first click—the fear and panic disappeared. It was as if she could not concentrate on earning her click and staying fearful at the same time. I took her out again that night and C/T as we approached the elevator—she walked right in.
I am now even more convinced that once a dog is clicker wise they remain so and are easily shaped in any environment.
It was pretty dramatic in that I had no real relationship with this dog. It was neat to see how fast she responded and that I could ask for more immediately and I got it. No cajoling just movement = click/treat. She also did not really care about the food. Although it helped I'm sure that I had liver, the click really calmed her and allowed her to think rather than react. It was like the mule, Ringo, on the Clicker Magic video, only faster—very fun for me to experience.

Every year around this time, we notice a drastic decline in the texture, appearance, and overall health of our complexions. There's nothing like a good, strong dose of frozen winter air biting your face to make you think long and hard about your skin care choices. That aforementioned wind, coupled with indoor heat and a general decline in our diets, leads to flakes, breakouts, ruddiness, and scaly patches.
Something about that lovely combination just seems to exacerbate the skin issues we already had — be it fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or dryness — leading us to look in the mirror and be less than impressed with the visage staring back at us.
Thankfully, there's a whole host of new skin-care secret weapons on the market that will help you combat winter skin woes. From the first U.S. CC cream to an oil that's like liquid gold for your face, these are the new lotions and potions we're stocking up on, just in time for the start of winter — or the end of the world, take your pick.

Microsoft all of a sudden loves cyan & magenta, we wonder why. Oh, right...
Throw this under just observations we've noticed in the last few months with some of Microsoft's new hardware but it looks to us like they are adopting some of Nokia's more bold design efforts.
The latest being the usage of cyan and magenta for some of their hardware, like the Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500, which gained two new Nokia colors this week.
These colors look familiar
Whether it's the Surface coming with a cyan or magenta cover/keyboard, the new mouse colors, Nokia's Lumia line or the new color schemes in Windows 8, Microsoft seems to have ripped some of the design principles right of Nokia's book.
Or perhaps this is part of that deeper partnership growing between the two companies? After all, they are swapping services with each other and working closely on that whole Windows Phone thing, so much so that both companies are doing a joint-press conference on September 5th. That's a first for Windows Phone.
"Magenta is a provocative colour. Cyan is classic, and fresh." -Tiina Aarras, Nokia
Those design principles are really nothing new, of course. Nokia discussed this at length on their Conversations blog in the past, describing the theory on colors. In an interview with Tiina Aarras, a design at Nokia, the following inspiration was presented for the Lumia line of colors:
Returning to the idea of purity, Aarras was inspired by the CMYK colour group (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow-Black) which was invented as a primary colour group for printing when newspapers began to produce colour comic strips in the 1890s.
"Those colours are pure, defined and exceptional. They're distinctive modern design icons and people recognise them. Because these are primary colours they contrast with each other – put them together with a black glass screen, and they are ideal for producing a bold and confident approach."
Much like Metro UI (or whatever it will be called), the focus on pure and simple colors is a brilliant and obvious design choice, one that Microsoft now seems to be embracing.
Cyan and more cyan.Yes, please!
Microsoft never received too much credit for some of their consumer hardware offerings, but their mice, webcams, keyboards and even devices like the Zune HD and yes, Kin, do push the boundaries on design with often great (but under-appreciated) results. Now with Nokia in the mix, they seem to be getting that extra edge to really have products that just "pop" when you look at them—why else is the Surface so fascinating if it weren't for that design and those colors?
The joke in fashion is often that "black is the new black" but in this case, we're going with cyan and magenta as being the "it" colors this year and next. Let's watch what both Microsoft and Nokia do with colors and design over the next few months, as our bet is we'll see even more overlap.
And we're thrilled with that idea.

Color names are some of the first words you learn in any language, whether you're a native speaker or picking up a new tongue. But unless you've spoken Zulu, Old Welsh, or an East Asian language, you may have never had to wrestle with the concept of "grue": the composite of green and blue that these cultures consider a single basic color. It gets stranger: certain tongues spoken in West Africa pile black into the "grue" category, and in some Native American languages, green and blue are separate but red and yellow are a composite. Even the ancient Greeks thought of colors differently by differentiating light shades from dark ones, rather than treating each as two versions of the same color. In reality, a language can split up the color spectrum any way they see fit. But what does this mean for the people who speak those languages? Would you see water differently if it was "ocean grue" instead of blue? Do the words we speak reflect the way we see the world, or do they change it? These are the questions linguists and psychologists have been trying to answer for decades.
Key Facts In This Video
Vietnamese uses the same basic word for both blue and green -- literally translated, they're "leaf grue" and "ocean grue." 00:25
Russian has two completely different words for dark blue and light blue. We do the same with dark red and light red (red and pink). 01:03
The deeper debate is whether the words and languages we learn influence the way we interpret the world, or whether they reflect our existing interpretations. 02:10

Dining in the Dark
Central Question: How do we taste in the dark?
To volunteer at LightHouse, a Northern California center for the blind and visually impaired, I am required to dine in the dark. Blindfolded, I am led into a restaurant: it is no longer a civilized institution but pitch-black chaos, a cacophony of silverware and glasses and orders and bells. I find my server. I order an iced tea. I grope the table in search of sugar, knock over my iced tea, steep my neighbor's crotch.
In the dark, all food is black. Even my glass of water is black. Somewhere on the table sits a mountain of bread rolls, purportedly white and yeasty, but when I find them they are as black as a stack of black cats. Without the ability to see, I lose my ability to taste. Foods with their colors removed are completely devoid of flavor to me. A preliminary revelation: to taste the rainbow, you have to see the rainbow.
We hope you enjoy this excerpt.
