By Eric Branch NEW ORLEANS ? Before Jerry Rice even began talking to a gaggle of reporters Thursday, it was clear he?d have something to say about San Francisco wide receiver Randy Moss. Standing on an elevated stage in a conference room at the Louisiana Convention Center, Rice, 50, was introduced by a member of the ESPN public-relations staff as ?arguably the best wide receiver in NFL history.? Rice piped up: ?The second best.? The line was a reference to Moss? media-day claim that he is the greatest wide receiver in league history, despite possessing 567 fewer catches and 7,603 fewer yards than Rice.

Your Christmas Party
Christmas is fast approaching, the festive time is nigh. Christmas is a time where all the shameful activities of the year are all of a sudden acceptable and no one thinks twice about eating their body weight in mince pies.

Because weeks of guilt free fun, food and partying never fails to put a smile on people's faces.

Learn How To Hypnotise Someone Instantly
The process to learn how to hypnotise someone instantly requires a basic understanding of the human psyche (including the "fight or flight" response and the idea of "psychic shock" ) and preferably some hypnosis training.

Property Maintenance Services - Enhancing The Value Of Your Proeprties

However, many people tend to think that cleaning up and fixing house components should only be done in case of obvious breakdowns or prior to selling a home, and this neglect can lead to irreparable or costly damage in the long run.

Hire Cars and Car Insurance
Having the use of a hire car if your own vehicle is off the road after an accident is an important feature of many car insurance policies. For most people, not having the use of a car is a real hassle. Getting to work, going shopping, taking the kids to school; we need a car for almost everything we do these days. Does your policy provide you with a replacement car if your own car is off the road being repaired? Do you know if you get a replacement car under all circumstances or are there certain pre-requisites? How long do you have the hire car for? Most people probably couldn't answer these questions so here's an overview of the common terms associated with being provided with a hire car.

Why Souvenirs?
It may seem like international souvenirs are becoming obsolete. After all, the internet allows people to buy most things regardless of origin. Souvenirs in general are starting to seem outdated too. With digital cameras requiring only point-and-click levels of expertise and allowing people to see their pictures without paying extra to develop them, it is easier to record memories of a trip than ever before. Why should you still pay for a knick-knack that you then have to find room to transport home and possibly worry about breaking? In fact, though, souvenirs offer many advantages that photos simply can't compete with, even though they are great ways to record memories as well.

Mozilla's developer preview handset offers Firefox OS clues
Mozilla's Firefox OS isn't slated to debut until later this year, but the Firefox-maker introduced a Firefox OS developer preview phone Tuesday that will soon be available for purchase. The developer handset isn?t a consumer phone; it is meant as a tool for people who intend to make apps for the new Firefox smartphone platform. The device does, however, provide a general idea of what to expect when Firefox OS handsets debut in the coming months.
Unlike Android, BlackBerry, iOS, or Windows Phone, Firefox OS is based entirely on Web technologies such as HTML 5 and JavaScript. This includes basic functions such as the dialer, address book, calendar, and third-party apps designed for the platform. Mozilla claims that using more lightweight Web programming tools instead of a more traditional programming language such as Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android) means you can offer a full-featured smartphone with lower-powered specs at a cheaper price.
The first round of Firefox OS phones are expected to appear in Brazil in 2013. It's not clear when Firefox OS would show up in the U.S., but Sprint has pledged to support the new smartphone platform.
The official Firefox OS developer preview phone, dubbed the Keon, certainly qualifies as a low-powered device. The Keon more closely resembles smartphones from 2010 like the Nexus One than the current crop of quad-core, 4- and 5-inch display behemoths with LTE connectivity. The Keon features a 3.5-inch HVGA display, 1GHz Snapdragon S1 processor, a 3 megapixel camera, 4GB onboard storage, 512MB RAM, a microSD slot, 802.11n Wi-Fi, 3G and Edge cellular connectivity, light and proximity sensors, an accelerometer, GPS and a microUSB port. The device also has a 1580mAh battery, comes unlocked, and will receive over-the-air software updates.
