Vicks Nature Fusion
Works for: Cough, chest congestion
Vicks offers a gluten-free and dye-free alternative to the usual cough syrup, flavored with real honey. The active ingredients are no different than other cough meds, but staying true to a strict nutritional regimen may make you sleep a little easier (Oz).
Remember that different OTC drugs may contain the same active ingredient. If you are taking more than one OTC drug, pay attention to the active ingredients used in the products to avoid taking too much of a particular ingredient. Know how to take drugs safely and responsibly.
Remember, the drug label will tell you:
• what the drug is used for
• how to take the drug
• how to reduce the risk of drug interactions and unwanted side effects (Administration)
It is important to take medicines correctly, and being careful when giving them to children. More medicine does not necessarily mean better. You should never take OTC medicines longer or in higher doses than the label recommends. If your symptoms don't go away, it's a clear sign that it's time to see your healthcare provider.

Afrin
Works for: Stuffy nose
The advantage to topical nasal sprays with the active ingredient oxymetazoline (decongestant) is instant relief (orally administered meds can take up to an hour to work). Afrin lasts 12 hours. Don't use for longer than three consecutive days, otherwise, your sinuses may become dependent on the spray and lead to symptoms getting worse (Brooks).
Delsym Cough Suppressant
Works for: Dry cough
Any OTC medication with dextromethorphan (cough suppressant) will be helpful in battling a dry, hacking cough. Delsym offers sustained 12 hour relief (so you only have to take it twice a day). Plus, for those who dislike the taste of cough syrup, the adult dose is two teaspoonful’s versus one tablespoon for similar meds (Staff).
NyQuil Cold & Flu
Works for: Headache, dry cough and runny nose
The upside to multi-symptom products like NyQuil is that it simplifies dosages. However, make sure that you actually have all the symptoms that it treats, otherwise you run the risk of overmedicating and exposing yourself to unnecessary side effects (Michalopolous).
2014 NBA Preview: The Atlanta Hawks

#20 Atlanta Hawks
Last year, the Atlanta Hawks finished the season with a 38-44 record and were somehow able to make it to the playoffs as the 8th seed in Mike Budenholzer's first year as head coach. Once they got to the playoffs they even put up a fight, pushing the struggling Pacers to seven games before eventually losing. A new year under Budenholzer's system brings promise to this Hawks team moving forward. Budenholzer was formerly an assistant for the Spurs, and he's brought a lot of that Spurs "winning mentality" with him to Atlanta. You could see last season with their ball movement that they were improving, and they will look to continue those strides into this season.
The best thing going for the Hawks is that their big man, Al Horford is returning from injury and should be ready for the start of the season. Through his career, Horford has averaged 14 points and nine rebounds and has been one of the best centers the league has to offer. It was a drastic blow for the team to lose him last season, and it'll be interesting to see how improved the team is with his post presence and defensive prowess.
Teaming up with Horford in the post will be power forward Paul Millsap. Millsap is one of the more under-rated players in the entire NBA, and last season he really stepped up in Horford's absence. He averaged nearly 20 points and eleven rebounds per contest, while raising eyebrows along the way. He's a stable post player, who gives you a double double almost on a nightly basis. It's safe to say the Hawks have one of the best big-man duos in the entire league. For this team to be successful it will need to work the ball into the post and let the big boys do the work.
Jeff Teague will be running the point for this Hawks squad, and I'm excited to see if he can put out another stellar season. He was very consistent for the Hawks last year, and he really thrived in the postseason. If he can average 19 points again on a nightly basis then the Hawks will be better than I'm projecting them to be. He will need to get his assist numbers up, and become more of a defensive presence in a point guard heavy league. I really like the way Teague plays!
This roster has a nice combo of wing players that will each bring something different to the table. The most notable one is sharpshooter, Kyle Korver. Korver has been one of the league's best three point shooters since coming out of Creighton and the Hawks can count on him to continue that this season. I expect him to start at the shooting guard spot and build on his 13 points per game scoring he had last season. The Hawks also have defensive stopper Demarre Carrol to lead the way on that end of the court. Carrol is consistently matched up with the opposing teams best wing scorer, and he does a pretty good job. Now with the addition of Thabo Sefolosha in the offseason, the Hawks look to have a plethora of capable wing defenders. Playing in the East against players such as Melo, LeBron and Dwayne Wade, defensive stoppers will come in handy.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Hawks made the playoffs, but I'm not banking on it. They were the 8th seed last year, but I think other teams in the East improved more than the Hawks did in the offseason. They will make things competitive, but I don't see them making too much of a splash.
Potential Starters
PG: Jeff Teague
SG: Kyle Korver
SF: Demarre Carrol
PF: Paul Millsap
C: Al Horford

To Be Or Not To Be: The Road to Success
Who is one of the best football players in the world at this very moment in time? Who is the global football icon that most people are able to associate with? If you are in the loop, your answer would be Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo, born 1985, is a Portuguese football superstar who was first introduced to the 'beautiful game' at the tender age of 10 and it was noted that even at that age, he was already a phenomenon. He was born to play football. In 2001, he made his professional debut for Sporting Lisbon, one of the top teams in the Portuguese Football League. It was there that he started turning heads at all over the world with his mesmerizing footwork and explosive dribbling. At just 18 years of age, he attracted the attention of footballing giants Manchester United who saw enough and parted with 12million pounds in 2003 for this services, a world record for his age at the time.
It was at Manchester United under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson that Ronaldo truly blossomed as a player, transforming from a scrawny teenager to the physical specimen that he is today. In his time with Manchester United, he helped the team to 3 Premier League titles, an FA Cup, 2 Carling Cups, a Community Shield, a Club World Cup and the highly sought after UEFA Champions League. He also gathered many personal accolades including the Ballon d'Or which is an award that recognised the world's best player for the year.
In 2009, he transferred to Real Madrid for a world record fee of 80million pounds and has been there since winning many titles and even more accolades including a second Ballon d'Or award.
Right Here Right Now: Ronaldo celebrating a goal
Ballon d'Or winner
On the flip side, we have another player deemed to have a bright future and was rated even better than Ronaldo at the same age. His name, was Ricardo Quaresma.
Quaresma, born 1983, 2 years older than Ronaldo was and also a Portuguese wonder kid that was developed through the same prestigious footballing academy as Ronaldo at Sporting Lisbon. He too was a dazzling winger and was said to be Portugal's beacon of hope in world football. In the summer of 2003, Ronaldo was shipped to Manchester United and Quaresma was sold to Barcelona FC, another top footballing club. While Ronaldo ascended to god-like levels under the supervision of Sir Alex Ferguson, Quaresma's career took a downward spiral as inconsistent performances and a poor attitude led to limited first team opportunities and a falling out with then Barcelona coach Frank Rjikaard. Quaresma even so far as to say that he would never play for Barcelona while Rjikaard was the manager which many thought as very arrogant behaviour.
Quaresma's career was littered with chaos and fallouts, at one point even being accused of urinating on a kit- man at his club and flashing a female member of the staff, and he has moved to many clubs wishing to test their luck on resurrecting his genius and his career. All have failed, with the exception of Porto between 2004-2008 where he performed at a better rate while being coddled by the manager Jesualdo Ferreira. In the year 2008, when his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo was being awarded the Ballon d'Or for his outstanding performances that season, Quaresma was awarded the Bidone D'oro, known as 'The Golden Trash Can', an award that is given to the worst new arrival of the season in the notorious Italian League, the Serie A.
Ricardo Quaresma
Quaresma was very well known for his trivela shot/pass. A technique using the outside of your boot to create curl on the ball. This earned him the nickname 'Trivela'
Two wonder kids, both from the same academy,both deemed to be the future of Portuguese football, but both with very contrasting outcomes in their career. What happened to Ricardo Quaresma? Why was he unable to emulate the achievements of Ronaldo? It is obvious the physically both are regarded as naturally talented so to answer these questions, one must delve into the psychology behind the players.
What separates the flops from the stars? One of the key psychological factors that coaches believe to be important in the development of players in mental toughness, however, only a small minority of athletes are actually able to develop the mental toughness to be great players. Mental toughness is said to be the key difference between athletes that get to that top level of their games, and the ones that actually maintain that level of performance and stay there. It is something that highlights the ability of players to perform on the big stage and their ability to work through transitional periods without suffering to their own performance. It has been suggested that a mentally tough athlete is one that is has a high sense of self belief and an unwavering faith in themselves and their abilities understand and comprehend mental toughness, you have to visualise and break it down into the 4 Cs; Control, Commitment, Challenge and most importantly, Confidence. These are the 4 Cs of Mental Toughness and form the basis of the theory.
Control is the desire of an athlete to be the masters of their own fate, the captains of their destiny. It is the desire to be in complete control of their experience rather than feel helpless and powerless in their situation. It is simply the tendency to feel influential.
Every top athlete understands that they need to be committed to the game and their respective clubs. However, true commitment is one where a player proactively involves himself in the experience as opposed to just accepting or withdrawing from the situation. It is not enough to just go along with the ride, one must actually have the desire to do it themselves.
Without adversity and hurdles, you will never learn from your mistakes and better yourself. Challenge is the acknowledgement of the tough times that you may face and embracing it to help the stimulation of personal development rather than settling into a routine and tapering off.
This is defined as a high sense of self belief and the unwavering faith in one's abilities on the road to success. Although all Cs are equally as important, confidence is ultimately what separates a mentally tough athlete and one that just has hardiness to their character.
Mental Toughness diagram
Mental toughness is something that is required in all top level athletes and it is shown in one's ability to bounce back from adversity, the ability to

Big Mouth Waterfowl Calls
Two more days left until me and the crew leave for North Dakota, to slaughter the ducks and geese. We went up two weeks ago and scouted some good areas that we think will have good hunting. We got permission from a couple farmers that have some pretty good land. Ill keep you guys updated on how we do as the week goes on.
Here's a couple photos from last years hunt in North Dakota.
Well everyone the day is here, the day that me and the team are headed out to North Dakota to slay some huge northern mallards and Canadian geese. We got the trailer loaded and full of decoys and the dogs in the back ready to work. Tune in tomorrow morning find out how we did, wish us luck.
Motion Duck Decoys
For years hunters have been trying to find the one trick that guarantees ducks and other waterfowl to drop there feet and head straight into the decoys. Well they have found the money maker that does such, motion decoys. Movement catches the eye of almost anything. But when it comes to waterfowl hunting, there is two types of motion, Attraction motion, and Simple motion. Attraction motion is used to get the attention of distant birds, and simple motion is what tricks them into thinking the decoys that are set out are alive. When it comes to duck hunting, the Mojo duck decoy is the gold mine for motion decoys. The flash they make which mimics the flapping of wings right before they land, attracts birds at far distance and gives them something to look at.
Layout Blinds
When it comes to field hunting for ducks and geese, one of the major items you need is a layout blind. Layout blinds come in many different styles, some are designed for ease of mobility, while others feature a low-profile look for wary birds and a lack of field cover. Some concentrate on comfort. It depends on what style you want but there all generally going to do the same thing. My personal favorite layout blind is the Banded Cross Cut Layout blind. Their new Cross Cut Blind features a super-tough square tube frame, but conceals well with the elongated skirting on each side, all of which features concealment straps. The blind also features a zippered flag door, as well as a zippered boot bag for easy cleaning at the end of the hunt. It retails for $299.99. At the end of the day it's a little more money, but it's worth every bit of it.
Well the trip to North Dakota wasn't as good as we intended it to be. I mean we shot our limit of birds for the trip, but we really had to work for them. The way the weather was, it was way to warm for the birds to have migrated south yet from Canada. So we were mainly still shooting the local birds instead of the big northern birds. So I think in the next couple weeks if the weather gets a little colder, me and the crew will head to North Dakota again and try to slay some mallards!!!!
The Trip
The Trip
Remington Versa Max
For this waterfowl season I choose the Remington Versa Max as my weapon of choice. My whole life i have only shot Benelli shotguns, but once i heard about the Versa Max i had to get it. Whats unique about the Versa Max is that it has the Versaport gas system which regulates cycling pressure based on shell length. Having that gas system reduces recoil to that of a 20-gauge.
The best feature is the Self-cleaning that takes place inside the gun. Remington did a test by continuously shooting thousands of rounds without cleaning the gun, and the Versa Max never jammed up nor work incorrectly. If you haven't gone out and shot the Versa Max, you better do so.
