Hub You - Ness Notes (May 22)
THE EXILER (your search for true brand attributes ends here!)With the advent of new marketing strategies and techniques, many theories have sprouted up telling you many ways to impress your target customers and make them buy your product. But when it comes to practical implementation of the theories, most of them fail, or give partial results because they are based either on buying behavior of customers or extensive surveysWhen the customers choose to buy a product they look only into very few features of product / service which are vital for their selection. A semi literate customer (or even a highly educated customer for that instance) never substantiates his choice based upon extensive surveys or consumer behavioral theories. The big players being unable to notice these sim
However, in two Game 7s this year, the home teams have won and covered easily. The Suns crushed the Lakers in the first round 121-90 in their Game 7 and the Pistons won easily yesterday. Tonight's first Game 7 (both televised on TNT) is the Mavs/Spurs at 8:00 ET with San Antonio f
One of the many differences between project management and operational management involves the use of time registration. Time registration is the basis for project management to function properly, whereas for operational management time registration is not often used.Time registration is a very simple mechanism where a individual member registers the time spend on a certain activity. Doing so makes it possible to compare the planning of activities – before they are executed – with the realization of those activities during the course of the project. Introducing this registration activity adds overhead to your project, but you could easily justify this by the increased communication it provides. The importance of communication can never be stressed enough. You are able to communicate to y
My free play is on the Chi Cubs over the Fla Marlins at 7:05 ET. Coming off a perfect 3-0 sweep this weekend with my exclusive Las Vegas Insider plays (Spurs/Tigers/Pistons), I'm looking to improve my Las Vegas Insider record in MLB this May to 6-1 with another winner tonight. I also have a 15* Rivalry Classic Play on the Yankees/Red Sox game. In the NBA playoffs, I'm featuring a LEGEND Play (4-1 in TY's postseason!) on one of tonight's two Game 7s. Don't miss it!
In fact, it's just the third time it's happened since Bird and Magic rejuvenated the league by entering the NBA in the 1979-80 season. The last time was in 1994 and the other was in 1981. There have been nine years (since 1980) in which none of the semifinals series were forced to a seventh game with three years standing out. In 1998 all four series went only five games (it also happened in 2002) and in 1999 there were three four-game sweeps and one six-game series.
Also of note in this year's postseason has been the number of close games. Through two rounds last year (65 games), just one game was decided by just one point, four others by two points and five more in overtime. Through 69 games this year, eight games have been decided by one point (three in OT), six more by two points and five others in overtime. That's quite a difference.
However, there was nothing close about the first of this year's three semifinal round Game 7s yesterday. The Pistons beat the Cavs on Sunday by holding them to 23 points in the second half, in a 79-61 win. Detroit may have looked very vulnerable in the middle of this series (lost Games 3, 4 and 5) but they opened it and closed it strong. They won Game 1 by 27 points and Game 7 by 18!
Detroit is now 10-2 when facing elimination since the '03 playoffs and the Pistons have gone 12-1 in games in which they've had a chance to eliminate their opponent. That lone loss came in last year's Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Speaking of Game 7s, home teams have now gone 77-17 in NBA playoff history.
There are two more Game 7s on tonight's schedule and will that home team dominance continue? Home teams have been struggling as of late in this year's playoffs, especially against the spread. After opening 30-9 SU, home teams ended the first round on a 1-5 SU and ATS run and have gone 15-9 SU (11-13 ATS) in the second round. That's a 30-game run of 16-14 SU and just 12-18 ATS!

What do kids learn from art? More than you might think! At a time when funding for arts education is being cut in favor of math and language arts, it's important to realize all that the arts can do for our children.Art builds the imagination, fosters creativity and problem solving, and develops fine motor skills.Art can teach kids many important lessons: Develop eye-hand coordination (which also helps with writing and literacy) Observe the world around them, and learn to trust their own eyes rather than what they think they "should" see or know Make comparisons and make choices, distinguish between what's important and what isn't Improve by practicing, and take pride in their artistic growth and development Develop an understanding of what goes into maki

Writers are constantly considering potential writing assignments. But as an author or writer you know that you enjoy writing certain kinds of articles and authoring material or books on specific topics. Writing articles for an expert witness newsletter is an interesting assignment. Perhaps you might give it a try?Recently, I was asked by someone to write an article for an expert witness newsletter and told that I should pick a topic since the expert witness newsletter was for that industry and of course it spans all industries that have experts. Well I have a couple of ideas for something like this, but first I had to warn them that coming from an athletic, entrepreneurial, political, business and community involvement background, I have a disdain for lawyers. And a disdain for lawsuits as

Treasure hunts are one of the most popular corporate events. They take place all over the UK every single day; in towns and in the country, on foot, on bicycles and in cars.One of the reasons why treasure hunts are so popular, aside from the fact that they are great fun, is that they have something to offer everyone. Whether your preference is for action or cerebral challenge, for example puzzle solving, a well written treasure hunt will have something to appeal to most participants.Themes integrate very well into the treasure hunt format and one of the most popular examples of this is the spy themed treasure hunt. This event may be based on James Bond or spying generally with the writing following the theme and challenges suited to it, including dead letter drops and following agen

A reverse mortgage is no different from a traditional mortgage in one respect; the reverse mortgage lender, just as the traditional lender to traditional mortgages, is the single most important factor in the entire reverse mortgage process. You will probably know by the comfort level you have in your dealings with a reverse mortgage lender whether or not you are working with someone who is both professional and has taken your concerns to heart.A reverse mortgage lender who is vague about the fees associated with your loan, or does seem able to give you easily understandable answers to your questions, either does not know the job, or is trying to hide something. In either case, you would be better off finding and alternative reverse mortgage lender.Another way in which you can bene
However, in two Game 7s this year, the home teams have won and covered easily. The Suns crushed the Lakers in the first round 121-90 in their Game 7 and the Pistons won easily yesterday. Tonight's first Game 7 (both televised on TNT) is the Mavs/Spurs at 8:00 ET with San Antonio favored by 3 1/2 points (192). The second game is the Clippers/Suns at 10:30 ET with Phoenix favored by four points (215 1/2).
The Spurs have rallied in this series to win Games 5 and 6 and will try to become just the ninth team in NBA playoff history to overcome a 3-1 deficit and win a seven-game series. The Suns were the eighth team to do it, when they came back to beat the Lakers in this year's first round. Jason Terry is back for the Mavs after his one-game suspension in Game 6.
In the night's second game, the Clippers are playing in the franchise's first-ever Game 7, while the Suns are playing in their second Game 7 in as many series. Neither team has been able to win consecutive games in this series, with the Suns taking Games 1, 3 and 5 and the Clippers winning Games 2, 4 and 6. The teams haven't played since Thursday and conventional wisdom says that will help the Suns more.
'Over players' had been on quite a run in the postseason, as nine of the last 10 first round games went over and then 15 of the first 21 did the same in the second round, for a 24-7 run. However, all three of the games this past weekend (two on Friday plus yesterday's game), went under the total.
Followers of the "Zig-Zag" theory have been streaking through this year's playoffs, both 'hot' and 'cold.' They opened 19-8-2 ATS in the first round but closed on an 0-8 slide. They again opened strong in the second round, going 10-4 but have since gone 1-5 (now 11-9 in the second round). If not for the LA Clippers and Phoenix Suns (who are a perfect 5-0 in their series), it's just 6-9 ATS in the second round.
MLB notes
Interleague action is done for the month after a weekend of play that was highlighted by Barry Bonds getting his elusive 714th HR. The new week begins with the Cardinals owning MLB's longest active winning streak at five straight games with the Devil Rays and Dodgers right behind them, having won four straight.
The Dodgers have won 12 of 15 and play in the only division in MLB (NL West) that doesn't have a losing team. That's interesting, as last year the Padres won that division with an 82-80 record. The Dodgers swept the Angels in a three-game series over the weekend and the team that played the White Sox in last year's ALCS is now 17-27 on the year, having lost 17 of their last 22!
Losing has come easy to the Royals (10-31),
