LARRY FITZGERALD of the Arizona Cardinals was last year’s Pro Bowl MVP. Fitzgerald caught two touchdown passes, including the go-ahead score with 4:03 remaining, as the NFC rallied to defeat the AFC, 30-21, in front of a sold-out crowd at Aloha Stadium. The Vikings’ ADRIAN PETERSON led the NFC in rushing with 48 yards on 8 carries and one touchdown.

The AFC and NFC squads are each comprised of 42 players with 21 offensive and 17 defensive players plus four specialists. A 43rd “need” player will be chosen by the head coach and must be a cornerback, defensive end, linebacker or long snapper. The coaching staffs of the losing teams in the AFC and NFC Divisional playoffs with the best regular season record will serve as the coaching staffs of the AFC and NFC teams.

Sand Ceremony with Bellacroft

Heart Shaped Sand Ceremony Set

What is a Unity Sand Ceremony
The Unity Sand Ceremony coordinates with many beach themes, however this popular ceremony is being incorporated into any themed wedding. Providing a unique and memorable way for the bride and groom to celebrate their unity, this ceremony also creates a keepsake that is beautiful and symbolic.

Generally short in length, the unity sand ceremony incorporates a ton of meaning. During the ceremony, the bride and groom each have separate containers holding different colors of sand, and then pour their sand into a shared unity vase where the grains are forever intermingled. The container with the combined sand is then kept as a keepsake of the couple’s love, loyalty, and devotion.

When did the Unity Sand Ceremony Begin?
Although it’s been practiced for hundreds of years in other nations, unity sand ceremonies have just recently increased in popularity in the United States. Although there’s some debate as to which culture first began the ritual, the Native Americans and the Hawaiians have both used it as a symbol of spiritual love for decades.

Old and New Family Blending
The blending of the family is a the main theory for the unity sand ceremony. The Weddingstar Heart Shaped Sand Ceremony Set also includes “accessory” vases that can be personalized for children or other special family/friends. This is a fun way for children to be incorporated into the ceremony.

Pest Control – Controlling Ticks in South Florida

Ticks are an insect that feed on blood and are generally found in South Florida due to the warm, tropical climate.  Ticks latch on to their hosts by attaching themselves to the skin and inserting their cutting mandibles.

Ticks travel around South Florida by human contact which is their main method of transportation. These insects do not fly or jump, they drop from their perch and fall onto their host.  Some species stalk the host from ground level, emerging from cracks found in the woods or even inside a home or kennel. Weak or older dogs  and puppies are particularly endangered and can die from anemia from a sudden influx of seed ticks. Seed ticks also attack horses, cattle, moose, lions and other mammals, causing anemia, various diseases, paralysis and even death. Such infestations can be difficult to detect until thousands have attached themselves to an animal and eradication can be difficult.

Ticks can spread diseases and can be quite difficult to remove. Be sure to contact your local pest control company for more details.

A1 Superheroes specializes in the removal of ticks from your yard and home in:

• Coral Springs Florida
• Boynton Beach Florida
• Coconut Creek
• Delray Beach Florida
• Lake Worth, Florida
