While many businesses now use VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) technology for their phones, it is also available for the residential market. VoIP is different from other types of phone services as it converts voice into data that is transmitted over the Internet. Portability is one of the primary advantages of using a VoIP phone service in Albany, KY. One can use their service anywhere a broadband Internet connection is available, which is useful for those who travel frequently, such as businesspeople.
VoIP home phone plans provide a lot more flexibility and the ability for a user to customize their service far more than what traditional phone service providers allow. This is something that individuals running a home business appreciate the most about it. One example of great flexibility offered by VoIP is that many providers allow the subscriber to choose a phone number with an area code that is different from their local area. It is also possible to have several phone numbers in different area codes, or even different countries, as well as toll-free numbers, forwarded to one phone. Many e-commerce entrepreneurs that have customers from all over the globe choose a VoIP service for this specific reason.
With a VoIP package, consumers receive a set of standard features that is usually much more generous when compared to other types of phone service available in Albany, KY. Many service plans include caller ID, call waiting, unlimited nationwide calling, call blocking, conference calling and sometimes even unlimited calls to selected international destinations. VoIP plans are the most affordable option. Some have prices as low as $5.99 per month.
A Digital Subscriber Line uses conventional copper phone wires and jacks. It can provide high-speed Internet access and home phone service simultaneously. Many DSL companies give customers the option to sign up for telephone and Internet bundles. Subscribers may need to sign a long-term contract to pay the lowest prices. Some providers only charge around $20 monthly for Internet access. Phone rates frequently include the cost of several desirable calling features. Customers may connect adapters that allow them to continue using traditional landline phone equipment.
While DSL home phone and Internet cost somewhat more than basic landline service with dial-up access, they offer multiple advantages. People can browse websites and talk on the phone simultaneously. This type of Internet access doesn't affect incoming or outgoing calls. Users also access the Internet significantly faster than dial-up subscribers. Some providers supply the necessary telephone and computer hardware at no extra cost. Basically, DSL is an appealing option for people who want decent audio quality, fast Internet access and numerous calling features at moderately affordable rates.
Availability can be a problem for some potential customers. People gain the best speeds and dependability when they're located near a provider's facility. If the nearest location is over 3.5 miles away, DSL might not be available. Companies often charge less for DSL than satellite or cable services, but it's not offered in nearly as many places. Nonetheless, people usually have the most home phone and Internet options in major cities like Albany, KY. It may be possible to choose between multiple DSL providers in addition to VoIP, landline and wireless companies.
Some people use one service for all of their calls. Others prefer to sign up for two services, such as prepaid cellular and landline or VoIP. This strategy allows them to enjoy higher sound quality and additional features when making calls at home. It reduces the likelihood of completely losing access in an emergency. A combination of two services can also cut the total cost for people who spend a lot of time on the phone or Internet. Either way, Wirefly helps Albany, KY residents find the lowest prices on the services and features they seek.
Traditional phone service has been used for many years, and it's frequently referred to as a landline. The network that a landline uses consists of many physical connections. Underground wires comprise a large portion of the network, and when telephone calls are made through a landline, they must pass through the network of wires. To use a traditional landline, a phone must be connected to a jack, and the connection is very quick and easy to make. Traditional phone service has been used for a long time, but many consumers are ditching the landline and choosing wireless alternatives.
The main benefit of using a landline service is the reliability. It's difficult to beat the reliability available from a landline service in Albany, KY. The stable connection provides excellent call quality but significantly reduces mobility. Consumers who decide to use a landline connection are restricted to making calls from within their home. The physical jack is hardwired into the home, and to make calls, the phone must be connected to the jack. Another issue with traditional phone service is the cost, which is significantly more expensive than most wireless options. The monthly cost of a landline service might be two to three times as expensive as competing wireless options.
Consumers enjoy the freedom of mobility offered by wireless phone services. Consumers have a choice between using a prepaid cell phone service or using one that bills for the service after use. Consumers in Albany, KY find themselves with an array of wireless providers to choose from. The variety of wireless phone plans may offer many different features including caller ID and voicemail. Using the cell phone as a mobile hotspot is one of the more advanced features wireless phone consumers in Albany, KY may want. If you'd like to find the best plan in your area, you can compare cell phone plans in Albany, KY with Wirefly's innovative comparison tool.
Consumers in Albany, KY find the primary benefit of a wireless phone service is the convenience of taking it with them wherever they go. But the flexibility of the wireless phone service comes with a price. Basic monthly wireless plans begin around $30. The price increased to around $50 per month when unlimited voice minutes is added to the wireless plan. Consumers wanting extra features like text and picture messaging can expect to pay more. Adding a mobile hotspot and data costs can increase the monthly wireless phone bill to over $100 for a service that may not be available in all areas. Compared to other phone services, wireless services have many benefits along with a higher cost.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

Why do some people says, 'I knew it would happen', after an event has happened?
because they had a feeling "it" would happen? At least that's why I say it, when I say it.
Some are given the ability to see what's ahead or maybe just logical thinking? Whatever the case may be Golly Gee Wiz they should have went with the first thought. Statistics say that the first thought you have is usually the right answer or outcome.
Sometimes it can be intitution or maybe they have physic powers. :-) Most often i think it's just a saying we have that we end up using.
This is all about Cognitive Psychology. Human beings will say, 'I knew-it-all-along', because of hindsight effect or creeping determinism after an event has happened. People will always be inclined to an event that has already happened as being more predictable than it was before the event took place.
A good example is when we are preparing for exams. When you are studying, you may be tempted to believe you are an expert in a subject. When the example comes the next day examining exactly what you have been studying, you find you can't get everything correct because of hindsight effect. When one is studying, it's always good to try and test the effect hindsight has on what is being studied.
You must have heard it from a student who has just done an examination. When asked how the exam was, he will say 50/50. And when the results come and the results show he has passed, he will say "I-knew-it-all-along that I was to pass that exam".
The effect of hindsight is mostly experienced in trading the stock market. You may look at the past performance of a stock by comparing prices and moving average. The past performance will show it's very easy to trade the stock by just comparing prices with the moving averages. But when you try to trade the same in real time, you will find it's very difficult to make a profit.
Hindsight bias is therefore the tendency of humans to change an opinion from an original thought to something different after new information has been provided. Hindsight bias is a weakness but the beauty of it is that it helps us make decisions fast, albeit not necessarily the correct decisions.

Brewer TD with 7 seconds left, Baylor 35-31 over Oklahoma St
Sun, 11/04/2018 - 2:21am AP Wire
WACO, Texas (AP) — Charlie Brewer threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Mims with seven seconds left to give Baylor a 35-31 win over Oklahoma State on Saturday.
Brewer didn't play the first three quarters after spending the week in concussion protocol since Baylor's last game. But he led the Bears (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) to consecutive touchdown drives after entering the game, including a 36-yard TD pass to Jalen Hurd with 5:43 left.
Baylor's game-winning drive started after Oklahoma State (5-4, 2-4) was stopped on fourth down, when Chris Miller sacked Taylor Cornelius for a 9-yard loss with 1:31 left.

Each year at Christmas, across London, temporary ice rinks are put up in various areas for a couple of months. My daughter being an ice skater of 6 years with her friends always likes to go and visit one of these rinks and it has become a yearly chaperoned tradition. In 2010/2011, the trip was to the rink at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park, the year later 2011/2012 we journeyed to Somerset House, on the North bank of the River Thames just slightly East of the London Eye and Big Ben. This year as with last it was the 2nd year running of the temporary rink at the Tower of London, purely due to its location and ease of travel links. A lovely family evening out. I'm glad of these jaunts, as I have an ulterior motive in that a trip up to the big smoke at any time is a great excuse to grab my camera and tripod and take some lovely pictures at the same time. A slot on the rink was booked at 8 pm so arriving at 6:30pm was perfect. Within a stones throw of the Tower there are lots of well known London landmarks. Like a toddler in a sweet shop I went off to scout out the photographic opportunities ahead of me. I hadnt planned this trip particularly well. At least not as well as I should have in hind sight. I set about scouting out the general area.
Here's a pic of the Tower itself, ancient, foreboding and now very prettily lit.
After the World Wide Photo Walk back in October 2013 (read about it here), the art of night time photography was no stranger to me. Whilst still very much learning, I now had done all of the main experimenting previously. I now knew that you needed to use a remote shutter release to prevent blurring the frame when pressing the shutter button. I now knew that removing the strap to prevent it blowing in the breeze to prevent joggage was advisable. I now knew how to focus to infinity or what aperture and ISO were the best starting point. Now it was just about taking the best pictures in terms of composition, framing and styling.
To my unprepared delight, I found that within a 5 minute walk of the rink and each other there are lots of photographic delights. The building commonly known as the Walkie Talkie due to its shape, (also known as 20 Fenchurch street), the Gherkin (again name is shape related), The Shard (hmmm, sensing a naming theme here?!), Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, Tower Millennium Pier and London City Hall, aka The Greater London Authority (GLA) building. My word! such a photographers dream (at least this Photographer at any rate).
My photographic exploits in highlights of the 90 minutes before the rink beckoned, are shared here for your enjoyment:
This is a shot of the Oldest Church in London, All Hallows by the Tower (having since Googled it), Shadowed by the brand new Walkie Talkie. Reflectively, I personally adore the juxtaposition of the old against the new and plan to revisit this to get some more detailed shots.
The next is a shot across the river Thames taken from down by the Tower Millennium pier. Captured in this shot is the panorama of City Hall (the GLA building) on the left, across the "More London" complex to the newly constructed Shard on the right.
Looking to again pick out the old and new, I framed up a specific Portrait orientation shot of the new Shard building with the old WWII & Korean war Royal Navy Cruiser HMS Belfast moored in the foreground.
A closer in shot of City Hall, lit in a yellow glow, and the "More London" complex to the right.
Here again my old and new theme accidentally shows itself, a panorama depicting Tower Bridge and City Hall taken from within the grounds of the Tower on the North bank of the Thames.
Just an observation at this point - it is quite amazing the number of people that see you with a camera mounted on a tripod and then ask you to take their pictures. Some of them with the landmarks behind them, some just of the landmark because they're not too sure on how to use their camera. In the space of and hour whilst taking my pictures, I had at least 7 different sets of tourists ask me. I should have set up a "I'll take your pictures stall". Even one couple where the woman had her camera and tripod quick release but had left the tripod at their hotel. (I'm getting there with my point haha) she and her partner came out of their restaurant and it wasn't until then that she realised how lovely London looks after dark (and it does). Long story, short, she borrowed MY tripod for 10 minutes. So picture taking AND gear rental stall may have worked too hehe.
It was now 7:50pm and the ice skating was about to start, unfortunately, so too was the rain *sigh*. I high tailed it back to the rink at the Tower just as my daughter and her friends were getting onto the ice.
I thought that I would get loads of fantastically great shots of them skating and being graceful and acting as typical teenageers. Fantasy and reality couldnt have been so far apart at this point. With the rain, I had blobs all over the lens, I had lots of skaters going in circular paths holding onto the barriers. The kids having skated for years didnt need the barrier, so they hung out right in the middle where there was acres of clear space. I proceeded to take about 250 shots of the backs of peoples heads and rain smudged blobs.
This shot however stood out to me and while it may not appeal to anyone else it spoke to me.
Whilst I have no further images to share (until I re-go through them with a less jaded eye), the factors which limited me were twofold; One, the rain, it is never great to photograph in the rain unless you are under an awning or have a lovely weather proofed set of gear (I dont (Yet)). Two, the speed of action vs Low light performance of my camera (and lens). The pic above demonstrates the second point because it was one of the few times they stopped spinning and jumping, allowing me to snap a relatively in focus and framed nicely shot. Taking the digital passions for tack sharp perfect images and crumpling it under my boot, the shot provides other asthetics. My view is that the back drop of the buildings on the other side of the Thames, the hazey and ghostlike effect due to high ISO, rain and my shivering and the relative isolation of my daughter and her friend regardless of all that is an appealing snapshot in time.
Lessons learned, new camera, new lens, dont shoot in the rain, oh and if those prove too expensive or unattainable, NOT every shot needs to be perfectly tack sharp and detail tastic (in my view and that may get shot down in flames). I leave you now so I can go and review the other 249 ish shots to see if any others were asthetically pleasing without my "grr my camera is naff" eyes on. (watch this space because if there are I will add them here). :)


text: The Iditarod dog-sled race - often called "the Last Great Race" - runs from Anchorage to the old, gold rush town of Nome, and is held every year in the US state of Alaska. This test of endurance features teams that consist of a musher - dog-sled driver - and a team of 16 dogs to pull the sled. It is a gruelling trek that pits man and dog against the wilderness. The distance is 1,688 kilometres, and takes more than a week to complete. The winner takes home a pot of money, a truck, and adoration from fans the world over. This year's race has been one of the toughest on record, due to warmer-than-usual conditions and the lack of snow. Just weeks before the start, organisers even considered moving the start of the race to Fairbanks, north of Anchorage. Days into the race, more than a dozen mushers "scratched", or quit, because either they or their sleds were too beat up to continue. Just hours before the finish, the musher in first place, Jeff King, had to scratch due to extreme weather and wind on the approach to Nome. Aliy Zirkle and Dallas Seavey ended up racing neck-and-neck to the finish line. Seavey won, his second win. Zirkle was the runner up - for a third year in a row.

Alyssa Maurer, visual arts teacher
Alyssa Maurer received her undergraduate degree from the University of Illinois where she studied visual arts. After graduating she went on to receive a second degree in graphic design from Columbia College. Alyssa spent the earliest part of her career specializing in branding, illustration and design in the music and performance art industry. As a freelance designer, she worked for such clients as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Lyric Opera, Ravinia, Steppenwolf Theatre, Lookingglass Theatre, and the Shakespeare Theatre. After 3 years as a freelance artist, she took a full-time position with the Goodman Theatre where she served as art director for the marketing department for four years. Following her entrepreneurial spirit, Alyssa left the Goodman to form Tonic Design Studios, a graphic design and branding firm in Chicago. After building and running Tonic Design Studios for 15+ years, Alyssa began working in local schools to be closer to her young children, and in 2011, she co-founded Prairie School of DuPage. From 2011- 2015 she served as marketing and enrollment director, and visual arts instructor for Prairie School. She also served as School Director at Prairie School of DuPage from 2015- 2018.
Today Alyssa is focused on creating a visual arts program at Prairie School that goes beyond just making art – one that inspires students to use their unique perspective of the world to make creative connections and tell a story – one that fosters experimentation, building on and learning from "what didn't work out the way you thought it would" (ie: mistakes!) – and one that exposes students to many different artistic ideas throughout history and encourages them to stretch their own creative ideas beyond their perceived limits.
Alyssa lives with her husband, two daughters, Buddy the dog and Fluffy the cat. When she has a free moment (besides making art) she also enjoys being in nature, reading, writing, singing, and learning new things!

Media Release - Proposed Alberta methane regulations are a made-in-Alberta approach that fails to consider Albertans
Proposed Alberta methane regulations are a made-in-Alberta approach that fails to consider Albertans
Reducing methane emissions could protect our air and climate, create jobs and increase royalties. Alberta's draft regulations will continue the practice of ineffective self-policing by oil and gas companies.
Edmonton, Alberta (April 27, 2018) - Alberta's proposed methane regulations are a missed opportunity to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets while protecting our environment, creating jobs and collecting royalties from wasted natural gas. And by relying on oil and gas companies to self-report their own emissions, the draft regulations will likely fail to achieve the targets they were created to meet.
14 organizations from around Alberta are concerned that Alberta's proposed regulations will provide little benefit to Albertans and will just allow the ineffective practices of self-reporting by oil and gas companies to continue.
Methane is the main component of natural gas and a powerful greenhouse gas. It is intentionally released into the atmosphere and accidently leaked by faulty equipment at oil and gas sites across Alberta. There is proven and affordable technology to identify and fix leaking natural gas.
"Alberta is missing a chance to demonstrate environmental leadership," said Dr. Joe Vipond from the Alberta Chapter of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment.
"If we are serious about reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we need to enact effective and mandatory methane regulations on the biggest emitters."
Cost-effective technology already exists and is in use by Albertan companies in other jurisdictions. Fair and enforceable regulations will put to work over 200 methane reduction companies to provide the needed engineering, manufacturing, and surveying to deliver this goal in Alberta.
"Albertans have been asked to shift our behaviours and pay our fair share, and oil and gas companies should also have to do the same," said Ann Baran from the Southern Alberta Group for the Environment.
Under the draft regulations, Alberta companies will be required to monitor and report the methane emissions from their own equipment. Without clear requirements and strict regulatory oversight, the proposed approach will not achieve the desired methane reductions. Self-reporting has resulted in vastly underreported emissions from facilities throughout the province.
"Near Red Deer, methane emissions were 15 times higher than reported by oil and gas companies," said Jule Asterisk, executive director of Keepers of the Athabasca.
"With self-reporting as proposed, we won't even know if these regulations make any difference on actually reducing methane emissions."
The Government of Alberta must change these methane regulations to be meaningful, stringent and enforceable. Let's show that Alberta is serious about addressing climate change and the significant emissions from the largest polluter, the oil and gas sector.
The 14 Alberta organizations are:
Alberta Wilderness Association
Calgary Climate Action Network
The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment
The Council of Canadians Edmonton Chapter
Crooked Creek Conservancy Society of Athabasca
Keepers of the Athabasca
Keepers of the Water
Mewassin Community Council
The Peace River Environmental Society

PFW vs. Oral Roberts
When: 7 p.m. today
Where: Memorial Coliseum
Radio: ESPN 1380 AM/100.9 FM
TV: Xfinity Ch. 81
Kason Harrell played 72 minutes his freshmen season atĀPurdue Fort Wayne. He played maybe 30 seconds a game if he was lucky. Coming out of high school where he averaged 25 points and 32 minutes a game, it was a learning curve for the Pittsburgh native.
But Harrell wants to thank coach Jon Coffman for teaching him to trust the process and fight for what you want.
"If he wouldn't have done that I wouldn't have had that chip on my shoulder to come out here and work like crazy," Harrell said.
This season, the 6-foot-2 senior guard isĀaveraging 16.8 points, 30.5 minutes and ranks fifth in the Summit League in 3-point percentage (.446) while helpingĀthe Mastodons (11-7, 3-0 Summit League) zoom to the top of the conference with a five-game winning streak.
"The part that hasn't changed is that he's always been an absolute pro with his mindset," Coffman said of Harrell. "He comes in every day, going as hard as he can possibly go, listening to every word out of your mouth, trying his very best to execute it."
Harrell decided not to redshirt his freshman year, which even nowĀhe regrets.
"I was just like 'it is what is.' I didn't redshirt and I may not play tonight, but maybe I'll play next game, so I've got to be ready," Harrell said.
"Not redshirting just caught me in that constant state of 'OK, I want to be ready in case someone goes down.'Ā"
It's hard to keep players in Harrell's situation motivated. Coffman couldn't tell with Harrell, though.
"When you have a guy on your bench who's your hardest worker and not making any issues over playing time, just saying 'hey, I've got to get better every day,' that makes for a successful team," Coffman said.
Harrell is now reaping the rewards of his hard work.
"This year he's really attacking the basket well," Coffman said. "We saw that in spots last year, but every year he's targeted an area of his game and really attacked it."
Harrell averaged 13.5 points last season but heavily relied on former Mastodons Mo Evans and Bryson Scott to get him open looks.
"It's really been helping because teams have been guarding me as a shooter and I'm able to use that to my advantage and am able to get into the paint and catch them off guard a little bit," Harrell said.
He's become adept at creating his own shot, getting to the rim and going to the foul line. He had 46 free throw attempts last season. He's taken 53 this season already.
He joined the Purdue Fort Wayne 1,000-point club on a first-half free throw in a 68-65 win over Akron on Dec. 5.
"When I was a freshmen I didn't think I would ever get to that point and just to know all the hard work and trust in God really paid off for me," Harrell said.
He has also been a part of some memorable Mastodons moments.
He hit arguably the biggest shot of his careerĀin the Mastodons' 2016 matchup with No. 3 Indiana. His basket atĀthe beginning of overtimeĀput the Mastodons up by three en route to the biggest upset in school history.
Harrell said Coffman brought him aside during a timeout and told him he would hit a big shot that game – despite hitting only 2 of 9 from 3 to that point.
"I'm like, 'yeah, OK, whatever he's my coach he's supposed to say that,' but he really believed in me and just to have that belief from him and my teammates just helped me keep shooting," Harrell said. "When that final buzzer went off I was just like 'wow we really just pulled off this huge upset.' Something I'll never forget."
The following year he put up a career-high 28 points in the Mastodons' 92-72 drubbing of Indiana at Assembly Hall.
Harrell won't get cocky. He's a serious, hard-working, faith-based man who even surprises himself sometimes by what he's accomplished since his freshmen season.
"At the end of the day it just kind of shows what happens when you trust God and work hard," Harrell said. "My parents never were surprised. I think I caught them off guard by how surprised I was and they kind of said that they knew I would get to this point, but me being a freshman and not playing, I never thought I would get to where I'm at."

Physiotherapy Exercise Prescription
What is Exercise prescription?
Physiotherapists are trained to understand the human body and its biomechanical principals.
Not only based on a normal functioning person, but also on patients that have a specific pathology preventing them from engaging in normal activities.
There is multilevel evidence that exercise is beneficial for recovery as part of a tailored rehabilitation program.
Your physiotherapist will create a program specific to you needs and goals that combine with hands-on treatment modalities will enhance your ultimate recovery.
Trailering exercise to individuals needs
When creating an exercise program to assist your recovery our physiotherapists will take into account all aspects of your life and treatment gaols.
We are guided by proven rehabilitation protocols but also take into account that not every exercise will be beneficial for every patient.
With our extensive understanding of human mechanics we will create a program tailored to you specific needs.
What types of programs are available?
When deciding what will be the best match for you and your desired outcomes your physiotherapist will consult with you to determine the best approach for your recovery.
There are many forms of exercise programs including but not limited to: hydrotherapy (pool based exercises), Pilates based rehabilitation (mat work, reformer, trapeze table), strength training – open and closed chain (free weights, resistance bands), proprioceptive, stabilising re-education and lengthening techniques for tightened structures.

Cognition is a diverse yo-yo. Although its weight is on the heavier side at 67 grams, the distribution of the stainless steel ring and the yo-yo's wide shape allows it to be able to move freely like a lighter yo-yo but have the stability of a yo-yo at its weight, making it able to tackle any trick type - something tricky to get right for Colin's diverse style in two divisions, 1A and 3A. Primarily related to the other UNPRLD inner-ring bimetal yo-yo, the Ignition, the Cognition is a more stretched out version in width, increasing trick execution capabilities.
The name "Cognition" is defined as "the mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and the senses". To Colin, this is one of the most important parts of being a competitive yo-yo player, and the Cognition gives him the technology to being the best player he can be because of its versatile capabilities.

*Silver/Black Rim is an unprld.com non-japan exclusive
Designer comments:
Colin gave me a blank canvas for his signature yoyo. You may think that this provides me with an easier time to design the yoyo, but it was actually harder. Imagine people asking you to draw something. You have no idea. But if they ask you to draw something with a bird in it, an image pops up in your head. It was the same concept.
I reviewed footage of Colin throwing the yoyo, both with his left hand and his right hand. The key part of this was tackling his different approaches to 1A and 3A. The yoyo had to be heavy enough to withstand his long 3A combos, and bind with a shorter string, and it had to be nimble enough and unresponsive enough to do his long rail combos that often move through an antispin state.
Upon looking at the specs, you may think the yoyo is too heavy, but by placing most of the weight on the inner side of the rim, as well as having a bit more center weight, the yoyo stays stable, and remains nimble as if it were 3 or 4 grams lighter. The width on paper may seem too wide for 3A, but the profile is carefully made to accommodate both 1A and 3A. A key aspect to 3A is making sure the yoyos are straight for it's initial approach to the string. That is why the wall is slightly higher than other UNPRLD yoyos, to guide the yoyo vertically to promote success.
I hope that you enjoy the yoyo as much as Colin and the UNPRLD team does.

On Monday Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper implied that teammate Jeremy Maclin is getting more playing time than him because he's a free agent after this season and he wants a new contract.
When asked why his playing time has decreased in recent weeks, Cooper told reporters, "[Jeremy] Maclin's trying to get a contract, so he's probably not going to try to come out of the game."
The media reportedly laughed and took Cooper's comment as a joke, but Cooper kept going, adding, "We want to sub as much as we can. It doesn't matter who it is. Hopefully, Maclin gets this thing done and he'll probably be subbing just as much."
Maclin was asked about Cooper's comments, and he didn't appear to take it as a joke, saying, "That was not a very smart thing for Coop to say, and it's not true."
On Tuesday Cooper told reporters that he was kidding, but then added another oddly worded thought about Maclin, saying, "I'm supposed to sub every four or five plays, and that's what I do. Maclin, I guess, he's a lot better player than me, so he doesn't have to sub."
Cooper has been a disappointment this season after signing a five-year, $25-million contract following an 800-yard, eight-touchdown season with the Eagles last year. His playing time has dipped in recent weeks. In Week 12 he only played in 67% of the offensive snaps.
Maclin, the team's top receiver, is playing around 87% of his team's snaps on the season, which is in line with how much other No. 1 receivers play. He'll be a free agent this winter.

It's that time of year again and I am obsessed. I'm obsessed with slinky smooth hairless legs and I'm obsessed with those swim trunk-clad men that seem to have the perfect smooth skin without one ingrown hair or unsightly bump!
Croissier's summer sun '15 show finally did it for me as hunk after hunk appeared on the catwalk looking frizz free and even. Discreetly putting on my glasses for a much nearer inspection, I got a bit worried by my complete lack of control. It did feel pervy to be so obsessed about hair. But, there is a reason. I have tried the LOT - from all types of waxing, creaming AND shaving, but I need to wait a day for it to properly die down, and then a COUPLE of days later it all starts all over again and I am tweezing away as soon as anything pops out.
I have thought about laser, although it comes in at about £600 a leg, and that's just one session. It's just an impossible budget for a fashionista at the moment.
I have been told by a couple of concerned waxing specialists that men do have different hair growth to us ladies. Their hair is coarser and it's the same as when they shave their face - the skin is smooth.
Of course I have done some more investigating of my own and there could definitely be something to it. Professional swimmers that get rid of everything in order to be more efficient in the water and aerodynamically supreme, shave!
First of all they lather up with menthol or a sensitive skin-based shaving cream so it cools down the skin, then using a double blade shaver, they go over the area two or three times! Swimmers will then apply and rub alcohol onto their skin, which apparently refreshes open pores and avoids getting the dreaded ingrown hairs. Moisturizing cream or baby oil is then applied to the skin to keep it from getting dry.
But, big BUT, swimmers only do it before a race and I know alcohol will dry out and irritate your skin after long periods of use and maybe even cause even more unsightly pimples.
So, I have found this little baby on a recent trip to Paris. It's microwaveable wax by Nair that works on short hairs and contains argan oil for smoothness. For this month's Twitter prize we're giving away the kit, SO GET RETWEETING ON @mscastrorides @Naircare ULTIMATE Roll-On.
Retweet for a chance to win the kit for a quasi-hairless summer!

- Heel-to-toe walk. Position your heel in front of the toes of the opposite foot each time you take a step. Heels and toes should actually touch as you walk forward for eight to 12 steps. If necessary, steady yourself by putting one hand on a wall or a counter as you walk. Then work toward doing the exercise without support. Repeat two to four times.
- Chair Stand. Place a small pillow at the back of your chair and position the chair so that its back is resting against a wall. Sit on the front of the chair, knees bent, feet flat on the floor and slightly apart. Lean back on the pillow in a half-reclining position with your arms crossed and your hands on your shoulders. Keeping your back and shoulders straight, raise your upper body forward until you are sitting upright. Stand up slowly, using your hands as little as possible. Slowly sit back down. Do eight to 12 repetitions. Rest and repeat.
My neurologist is part of Georgetown University Hospital's Center for Movement Disorders and Parkinson's. At one of our early meetings, he gave me a prescription for the BIG exercise program offered by the hospital's physical therapy department. This program was specifically designed for people with Parkinson's by the same organization – Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) – that developed the LOUD speech therapy for people with PD. Georgetown's program is also designed to help with each client's special needs. The PT program also incorporates some of the ideas of the voice training program, since you are trained to shout out your exercise counts in a good, loud voice. Here's a video clip that gives you an idea of how the program works:

Arson, hoax calls and attacks on firefighters are huge challenges faced by Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service. They waste valuable time and resources, putting lives at risk.
We work with a range of partners across our communities to educate people about the dangers and consequences of anti-social behaviour.
You can reduce the risk of deliberate fires at your home or business through effective security measures:
- Lock any entry gates and repair any damage to fencing to deter intruders.
- Promote good relations with neighbours and encourage each other to inform the police of anything suspicious.
- Fit good quality external doors with five lever mortice locks or UPVC doors.
- Close windows when not at home – burning materials can be put through open windows.
- Consider security systems such as intruder alarms or security lighting to deter intruders.
- Sheds and garages should be well secured as they often contain flammable liquids and tools that can be used to force entry into the home.
- Look after your wheelie bin. Place it out on the morning of collection and return it to your property as soon as possible.
- Avoid placing bins, rubbish, or other combustible items against the walls of the home. These are a ready supply of fuel for arsonists.
- Burning materials (including fireworks) can be pushed through letterboxes. A metal container or lockable flap can be fitted.
You can get more information on home security from your local Police Crime Prevention Officer or book a home safety check.
Juvenile Fire Setter Programme
The scheme was introduced to combat malicious fires and arson, which was estimated to be costing Tyne and Wear £1.2m per year. This figure probably underestimates the true extent of juvenile fire setting, as it doesn't include the thousands of outdoor fires and small fires in the home or garden which are started by children but go unreported as parents extinguish them.
It is recognised in most communities that we have credibility with young people. We are seen as role models with authority, but also as friendly and non-threatening. We use this supportive and positive approach to work with juveniles and their families.
The Juvenile Fire Setters Education Programme is an integral part of our education strategy. A team of two, usually one male and one female, carry out the education ideally in the home – although this isn't always possible. The approach and resources used vary, depending on the individual details of each case.
One of the strengths of the Juvenile Fire Setters Education Programme is recognising the role of the Fire and Rescue Service and its limitations. For this reason we are continually developing strong links with relevant partners to improve our assessment process and facilitate referrals. These include youth offending teams, social services and the Nuffield and Kolvin Units, which provide mental health services for young people.
Attacks on firefighters
In recent years, firefighters across the country have increasingly been attacked while attending calls. They have:
- had bricks, bottles, stones and fireworks thrown at them
- suffered verbal and physical attacks
- been stabbed
- been shot at
Vehicles are attacked as they respond to calls and vital life-saving equipment is stolen. These attacks seriously risk the lives of our crew and those who depend on us to reach them in emergency situations.
Our firefighters risk their own lives every day to save other people but a small minority continue to threaten the lives of our staff and those they are trying to help. We all rely on the fire service to protect us and any delay resulting from people obstructing or attacking firefighters could mean the difference between life and death.
Anyone who obstructs or attacks emergency workers could face a fine of up to £5,000 or a jail term of up to 10 years (for public order offences).
If you know of anyone who has attacked a member of the emergency services, do the right thing and contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Hoax calls
999 is only for real emergencies.
Hoax calls waste valuable time and resources. They affect our ability to respond to real emergencies, which means someone could die.
They are also a risk to our firefighters and the public as there is a higher risk of road accidents whenever crews have to drive at speed to respond to a call out.
Hoax calls cost fire and rescue services nationally £230,000 a day. Around 50,000 hoax calls are responded to by the Fire and Rescue Service every year in England and Wales.
Making a hoax call is illegal, and the penalties for making a call for 'fun' are high – either a £5,000 fine or 6 months in prison.
If you know of anyone making false calls to the emergency services, do the right thing and contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

To qualify for a health savings account, or HSA, you must have a high deductible health plan (HDHP) with a deductible of at least $1,000 for singles and at least $2,000 for families. The annual out-of-pocket maximum expenses on the plan cannot be more than $5,250 for individuals or $10,500 for families. You can purchase your HDHP coverage through your employer or, if you are unemployed or self-employed, directly from a broker that handles HDHPs. If you are covered by another health insurance plan that is not an HDHP, you are not eligible for an HSA. Other types of insurance that you may have and that will not affect your HSA eligibility include auto, dental, vision, disability, long-term care insurance, coverage for a specific disease or illness as long as it pays a specific dollar amount when the policy is triggered, and wellness programs offered by your employer as long as they do not pay significant medical benefits. Medicare recipients are not eligible for HSAs. Individuals who can be claimed as a dependent on another's income tax return are also ineligible for an HSA.

Snack Fun!
Most evenings her snack is fruit. Last night I decided to dice up a variety of fresh fruit and place it on a skewer.
Saying she was happy is an understatement. When I showed it to her she was jumping up and down and saying how much she loved her surprise snack. It made me smile to think that this simple gesture meant so much to her.
What things are you doing to spice up the routine?
5 comments:
Now that is one creative way to get our kids to eat their fruit. Have you tried using cookie cutters on their favorite sandwiches too to make them more fun to eat?
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
So precious. Don't you love being reminded of simple pleasures? It encourages me to have a tender and pure heart, like that of a child. I love that you are always thinking of small and creative ways to serve your family and show them love.ReplyDelete
Those strawberries look so good! The ones at our market have looked awful, and been so expensive lately! They are my daughter's favorite, and we have been so long without fresh ones. I did splurge on some fresh blueberries this week, and that was a huge hit. Hard to skewer those, though! :)
That's a great idea! Just a simple change in routine can bring so much joy and fun!ReplyDelete
Good idea, Wendi. We could use a little *spice* around here.ReplyDelete
I just made a list of activities to do with Nathan, using The Preschooler's Busy Book. An idea we tried yesterday was cleaning coins. I gave Nathan a tub of soapy water, a scrub brush, and a handful of coins, and he went to work cleaning them. He liked it, and I let him choose a shiny penny for his bank.
Thank you for visiting. I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment. I hope you enjoyed your visit and will return again!

No matter how high your fence, how strong your door, or how vigilant your eyes are, if your dog or cat wants to escape, they will eventually find a way. Whether your pet is an escape artist or simply decides to go on an adventure, these situations lead to nothing but stress for their owner. Over the past few years, there has been an increase in solutions for keeping better track of them, so we rounded up some of the best and newest devices for tracking down your pets.
Not only is location tracking technology improving, but so are the affiliated costs, designs, and size of each. And no, unfortunately a Tile isn't going to really be a viable solution for finding your little furry friend. The following are among the latest and greatest ways that you can track down your fur kid:
Whistle Tracker
Initially launched at Tagg, the Whistle tracker has been one of the most popular solutions for both tracking the activity of pets and also locating them. Announced at CES 2017, Whistle will be launching a new, smaller version called the Whistle 3. Priced at $80 for the hardware and $7 per month for the service, the solution uses a mix of both cellular service, Bluetooth, and GPS to help you track your pet well beyond the reach of most other solutions.
Findster Duo
A recent Kickstarter success story, Findster is a newer location tracker that doesn't require a monthly subscription for use. Unlike its competitors, according to Findster, their tracker will alert you in real-time when a pet has left the geo-fence, and enable you to track in real-time for up to a two mile range. Similar to Whistle, the device also tracks pet activity as well. Findster Duo is priced at $120.
Pod combines WiFi, cell connections, and GPS in an effort to help you track down your pets and watch their activity. Though similar to the other devices, Pod also comes with an easily swappable battery, which means your pet never has to go without the device. Other similar hardware require the unit to sit on a charging base, which creates a bit of a gap in use. Priced at $200, Pod does not charge for service for the first year, but after costs $50 annually.
Similar to Whistle, Tractive is another cell based tracker for your dog. Though seemingly more popular in the UK, the device works in more than 80 countries. The reported battery life is a bit weaker though, coming in at between 2-5 days depending on the cell signal. Tractive is priced at $100 and requires a monthly subscription of about $5.
A new comer to the space, Nuzzle is a locator and activity tracker with features similar to Pod. With two available batteries for easy swapping, this particular device is built right into the collar, unlike the other four listed in this article. With a five day battery life, real-time tracking including plotted travel routes, Nuzzle is one of the only 3G connected devices without a subscription fee. Priced at about $190, the device is comparable to the others plus about a year and a half of their subscription costs.

This Spring we will be using the book Uninvited by Lysa TerKeurst
Univited - Living Loved When You Feel Less Than, Left Out, and Lonely
"In Uninvited, Lysa shares her own deeply personal experiences of rejection— from the perceived judgment of the perfectly toned woman one elliptical over to the incredibly painful childhood abandonment by her father. She leans in to honestly examine the roots of rejection, as well as rejection's ability to poison relationships from the inside out, including our relationship with God. With biblical depth, gut-honest vulnerability, and refreshing wit, Lysa will help you:

Manchester journey to innovation through creative industries
The UK's cities face a stark challenge. Reinventing themselves to face increased global competition, seizing the opportunities of new industries and tackling persistent social issues would be a tough enough agenda at the best of times. But today, they must do this in the teeth of a severe recession that has accelerated the decline of established busineses and threatened the rise of new ones.Manchester offers an important example of how UK cities can harness innovation to thrive in the economy of the 21st century: in the last decade, it has grown in size and increased in prosperity. But as this report shows, its future prosperity depends on its ability to continue to innovate. What is more, this innovation will need to take new forms, including strengthening local networks, linking the creative sector to the wider economy, and tackling social challenges.NESTA has worked intensively in Manchester in recent years, and is proud to have supported many of the initiatives dedicated to keeping Manchester at the forefront of innovation, such as the Manchester Commission for the New Economy and the Manchester Independent Economic Review. This report draws on some of the insights gained from this work, and the lessons of NESTA's work elsewhere in the UK, to offer a vision of what an innovative future for Manchester might look like.
