Jamey Campbell is the new director of development for the College Foundation. Campbell is a familiar face on the Gallatin campus. He was coordinator of student activities from 2009 to 2011. He left the college to be director of business development for Schenk Photography of Hendersonville.
"The driving factor to come back was knowing that I could wake up in the morning and spend my day raising money for student scholarships," said Campbell. "It gives the highest sense of purpose and emotional return. It's easy to identify the line between the donor's assistance and the student being helped."
Campbell has a bachelor's degree from Hendrix College in Arkansas and a Master of Science degree in Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Memphis. His responsibilities at Vol State will include leading alumni programs.
"I want to meet as many alumni and supporters of the college as I can," Campbell said. "I'd like to start having casual and informal breakfast meet and greets for alumni around the area."

China tells Google to obey law even if it's leaving
No exit papers received
China has warned Google that it must obey government rules even if it decides to exit the country.
On Tuesday, Reuters reports, a spokesman for China's Ministry of Commerce said that among other things, Google must report to the ministry if it intends to shutter its Chinese operations. As it stands, the ministry has not received any documents involving a Google exit, which the company appeared to threaten with a blog post in mid-January.
"On entering the Chinese market...[Google] clearly stated that it would respect Chinese law," ministry spokesman Yao Jian told reporters. "We hope that whether Google Inc continues operating in China or makes other choices, it will respect Chinese legal regulations...
"Even if it pulls out, it should handle things according to the rules and appropriately handle remaining issues."
On January 12, after alleged Chinese hackers pilfered intellectual property from the company's internal systems, Google announced that it has decided to "no longer" censor search results in the country, saying it would spend "the next few weeks" in talks with the Chinese government to determine "the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all".
That was nearly nine weeks ago. Last week, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that "something will happen" with the talks "soon," but he reiterated that the company has "no timetable" for its government discussions.
A recent report from The FT says that Google is "99 per cent" certain to shut down its Chinese search engine. But the paper's sources indicated that the company is intent on maintaining its other operations in the country and that a search shutdown may take some time.
Today, Google indicated that its Chinese internet service license is set to expire at the end of the month. Generally, China requires business to renew their licenses once a year to ensure they abide by local law, and this could put added pressure on Google to make a decision sooner rather than later.
Yesterday, according to The New York Times, Chinese regulators told some of Google's biggest partners in the country that they should plan for a Google exit, saying discussions had reached an impasse.
As Google mulls its options, it continues to censor results on Google.cn, but it has postponed the release of two Google-branded Android phones in the country, telling The Reg that it has suspended the use of Google apps on all Android phones from Chinese carriers.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for China's foreign ministry has sought to quell suggestions that a Google exit will cause problems with other foreign investors. "I think this would just be the individual act of one company, and will not affect China's investment environment," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang, according to Reuters.
"It will not change the fact that most foreign companies, U.S. ones included, have a good business in China and generate large profits." ®

UPDATE: 4:04pm Police are warning the public to be aware that there is a heightened vehicle theft alert for all of Oneida County. A shelter in place order is being issued for the Town of Westmoreland as a manhunt is underway for a suspect believed to be armed.
New York State Police stopped a car for speeding near the Westmoreland Toll Booth near Exit 32. The car went through the toll booth and crashed into a guide rail. Two suspects ran from the vehicle; troopers were able to catch one. A second suspect fled on foot and is at large.

After two months on the job, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer finally updated employees on her turnaround plan for the company last week.
One thing she did not mention: layoffs, which had been central to former Yahoo CEO Scott Thompson's plan.
We are told by a source familiar with Mayer's thinking that this does not mean layoffs are off the table at Yahoo.
In fact, you can probably bet they are still on, given that Mayer hired a practiced cost-cutter, Ken Goldman, to be her CFO.
The reason Mayer didn't bring them up at the all hands meeting was because she was trying to set a mood of enthusiasm and positivity that day.
It worked. We hear from several sources that morale at Yahoo hasn't been so high in years. People have had whole careers there and never felt this good.
How many people will Yahoo fire?
When he was CEO, Thompson began, but did not finish, the process of firing 2,000 employees.
At the time, one source inside Yahoo told us that the company should fire as many as 10,000 of its 18,000 full-time and part-time employees.
Silicon Valley venture capitalist Marc Andreessen has also latched onto that figure, publicly recommending Yahoo cut at least that many.
"He's probably right," ex-Yahoo engineer Sriram Krishnan wrote in a blog post, echoing the sentiment of many still at the company.
"I would start with anyone with the title 'Architect' or 'Program Manager' in their title. HR is probably another good place to look too."

Health-Site Outage Recalls Flawed Launch
President Points to More Than One Million Sign-Ups as System Halts for Three Hours Ahead of a Key Coverage Deadline
For the past few weeks, U.S. officials and government contractors have been pleased with the performance of the HealthCare.gov website. But Friday brought a reminder of the site's disastrous rollout when it suffered an unexpected outage just days before a crucial enrollment deadline.
The outage, which was resolved after three hours, underscored the challenges as President Barack Obama's health law reaches a key coverage deadline. Consumers have until Monday night to sign up for insurance that can take effect on Jan. 1, the...

Rockers Rush are planning a tour to celebrate their 41st anniversary next year.
The Canadian band only finished their massive Clockwork Angels worldwide tour last year, but they are hoping to head out on the road again to commemorate another milestone.
Guitarist Alex Lifeson tells RollingStone.com, "The three of us just had a meeting. We said, 'Let's not talk about anything band-wise for the next year. Let's separate ourselves and come back rejuvenated.'
"Unfortunately, the other people at that meeting didn't hear what we were talking about, so there are already plans being made for spring of 2015. It's going to be a 41st anniversary tour, or whatever they're going to call it."
The details for the trek have not yet been worked out, but the group is planning to make the event an experience to remember for fans.
He continues, "We haven't really talked seriously about what we want to do. But I think we're probably going to lean towards making it a real sort of fan event, and really try to put something together that's very pleasing for the fans across the board."

, NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 15 – The much-anticipated police reforms have kicked off in earnest with the publication of advertisements for the Inspector General of Police and two deputies.
National Police Service Commission chairman Johnstone Kavuludi said suitable candidates were welcome to apply—including Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere and other serving officers if they meet the stipulated requirements.
"We are going to conduct the exercise in accordance with the law and anyone who meets the qualification can apply; these include current holders of various positions in the police—including the commissioner of police," he said. "But that is not to say the exercise is limited to police officers only, that is not what the law says."
In the advertisement that appeared in the local newspapers on Monday, interested applicants must submit their applications and certified copies of their testimonials by October 29.
The notice further states that one of the three positions – Inspector General and the two deputies shall be filled by a person of the opposite gender.
Those seeking to be Inspector General, must hold a degree from a recognised university in Kenya, be Kenyans with knowledge and experience in either criminal justice system, policy development and implementation, finance and public administration, security, law, sociology or government.
The same applies to candidates seeking to be appointed to the position of Deputy Inspector General.
The person who shall be appointed Inspector General of police shall serve for a single four-year term and will not be eligible for renewal of appointment.
"Our principle task is to reform the police from a force into a service well geared to the demands of a modern democratic state," Kavuludi told reporters on Monday.
He said Kenya 'must have an Inspector General of police by the end of December, we are up to this task, and we must achieve because we have been entrusted with this responsibility."
Apart from recruiting the Inspector General of police and his two deputies, the commission is expected to handle the affairs of the police, including keeping under review all matters relating to standards or qualifications required of members of the service and with the advice of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, determine the appropriate remuneration and benefits of officers.
He said other priorities is to recruit a new CID director as well as hire 7,000 police officers.
"We will be putting up these advertisements soon," Kavuludi revealed.
Kavuludi who addressed a press conference in Nairobi pledged that the commission will be fair in the entire recruitment process and will even invite members of the public to give information on candidates who will apply for the positions.
"Therefore, no one should get worried at all. The process shall be fair and in fact we will invite members of the public to submit information on the candidates who apply so that they can be vetted appropriately," he said.
The commission will also vet officers holding the ranks of Assistant Commissioner's of police and above to establish their suitability in the police service.
"Change is difficult and uncomfortable, but we wish to allay any apprehension in the minds of the police officers that our commission's task is to remove officers from the service," Kavuludi said.

Three lucky members of the Dr Dick Review Crew have been having a gay old time with the new signature line of personal lubricants.
These particular lubes come from the good folks at Fleshlight and FleshJack.
We're all pretty ga-ga about the fleshlight products here at Dr Dick's Sex Toy Reviews. (Check out my review of the granddaddy of male masturbation toys HERE!)
So it comes as no surprise that these wizards have developed their own line of water-based lubes to go with their fine products, or that can be used on their own.
Today we welcome a new Review Crew Member, Madora. She joins Ken and Dixie, who introduce us to the new lubes.
Fleshlube Elements Pack $24.95
This Package Includes:
– 1 4oz. Bottle of Fleshlube Water
– 1 4oz. Bottle of Fleshlube Fire
– 1 4oz. Bottle of Fleshlube Ice
Fleshlube WATER
What can I say? There's nothing I don't love about Fleshlube WATER by the makers of the Fleshlight. It's super smooth, weightless, light, it's water based so it's safe to use with my favorite silicone vibes. One of my favorite parts about it is that you use a little and then you just completely forget you're using lube, it's so natural feeling.
I'm not into putting tons of chemicals on my private parts so the fact that it's got only five ingredients makes me terribly happy. The main ingredient is Purified water and it actually contains honeysuckle extract. Is it just me, or is honeysuckle an incredibly sexy word? Either way it fits right in.
So far I've only used it solo cause, well, I'm single right now and I'm the only one I love enough to get that close to my honeypot. Feel the love.
Fleshlube WATER is also hypoallergenic so it's great for people with sensitive skin and it comes in a recyclable plastic bottle with a simple sleek design. If Fleshlube WATER Lubricant were the only lube I ever used for the rest of my life, I'd be totally fine with that.
Full review HERE!
Now here's Dixie!
Fleshlube ICE
Thanks Madora, and welcome to the Review Crew!
I have to agree with Madora about the attributes of Fleshlube ICE Lubricant; like the WATER lube that she used, mine is also silky smooth and lightweight. And of course, it's water based so it's safe to use with my silicone toys and latex condoms. So hurray for that! The "ice" or cooling effect is very nice too. Nothing overpowering, it's more of a gentle sensation.
I took a slightly different tact with my review. I decided to dig deeper into the ingredients of this product. Madora mentioned honeysuckle extract. My lube also has honeysuckle extract. I had never heard of this additive before, so I thought I'd look that up on the interweb tubes. I discovered that in traditional Chinese medicine, honeysuckle is used to clear heat and toxins from the body. Recent studies in China found honeysuckle to be effective in reducing inflammation, fever, and infection. I think that's really interesting.
Fleshlube ICE also contains glycerin. This might be a concern to some. Even though the vast majority of skin care, hair care and other products marketed as "moisturizing", "hydrating" or "replenishing" use glycerin as one of their main active ingredients. Glycerin draws moisture from the lower layers of the skin and holds it on the surface. So some claim that basically you rob Peter to pay Paul, as it were
The ICE or cooling agent is: Menthyl Lactate, which is a cooling agent derived from an ester of menthol and lactic acid. An ester, I discovered, is a compound formed from alcohol and an acid by eliminating the water. I'm like getting this chemistry lesson along with my pleasuring.
Full review HERE!
Now here's Ken!
Fleshlube FIRE
I have the Fleshlube FIRE lube. I think it's great. It does have a nice warming component to it that kicked up my jerk-off session a notch. It felt really good on my dick and balls, but also on my butthole. I'm not big on insertions of any sort. I know, I know, I'm missing out…maybe one of these days. But still I do like a nice rim job. And since I can't rim myself, this Fleshlube FIRE lubricant is the next best thing when I'm by myself.
I was all excited about turning my partner, Denise, on to Fleshlube FIRE, but she wasn't nearly as enthusiastic as I was. She has really sensitive skin. I mean you can just look at her crooked and she breaks out with the heebee jeebees.
Once she had a look at the ingredients she nixed the idea of use on or with her. She was happy to see the lube was paraben-free. Apparently parabens can be found in shampoos, commercial moisturizers, shaving gels, cleansing gels, personal lubricants, topical pharmaceuticals and toothpaste. They are also used as food additives in some products.
Denise said that parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers. It can also adversely affect the secretion of testosterone and the function of the male reproductive system. That pretty much sold me on avoiding parabens in the future, that's for damn sure.
The next thing that concerned Denise was the additive: Propylene Glycol. I guess this is something like Glycerin, because it works as a hydrating factor, but it too draws moisture from the lower part of the skin to the surface giving only the impression of moisturizing (rather than actually doing it!).

Aliskiren and valsartan (Oral route)
a-lis-KYE-ren, val-SAR-tan
Brand Names:
- Valturna
Dosage Forms:
- Tablet
Warnings:Oral route(Tablet)
Discontinue aliskiren/valsartan as soon as possible when pregnancy is detected. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus .
Renin Inhibitor
Uses of This Medicine:
Aliskiren and valsartan combination is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure will reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks.
Aliskiren is a renin inhibitor. It works by blocking an enzyme in the body that is necessary to produce a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, the blood vessels relax and decreases the blood pressure. When the blood pressure is lowered, the amount of blood and oxygen is increased to the heart.
Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. As a result, valsartan relaxes the blood vessels. This lowers blood pressure and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using This Medicine:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.

Proper Use of This Medicine:
Aliskiren and valsartan combination is used when a single medicine to lower your blood pressure is not enough. It is also used as the first medicine to treat your condition if your doctor feels that you need to take more than one blood pressure medicine.
This medicine comes with a patient information insert. Read the information carefully and make sure you understand it before taking this medicine. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
In addition to the use of this medicine, treatment for your high blood pressure may include weight control and changes in the types of foods you eat, especially foods high in sodium (salt). Your doctor will tell you which of these are most important for you. You should check with your doctor before changing your diet.
Many patients who have high blood pressure will not notice any signs of the problem. In fact, many may feel normal. It is very important that you take your medicine exactly as directed and that you keep your appointments with your doctor even if you feel well.
Remember that this medicine will not cure your high blood pressure, but it does help control it. You must continue to take it as directed if you expect to lower your blood pressure and keep it down. You may have to take high blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life. If high blood pressure is not treated, it can cause serious problems such as heart failure, blood vessel disease, stroke, or kidney disease.
Take this medicine the same way every day. This means take it at the same time and take it consistently with or without food.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
- For oral dosage form (film-coated tablets):
- For high blood pressure:
- Adults—At first, one tablet containing 150 milligrams (mg) of aliskiren and 160 mg of valsartan once a day. Your doctor may increase your dose if needed. However, the dose is usually not more than 300 mg of aliskiren and 320 mg of valsartan once a day.
- Children—Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
- For high blood pressure:
Missed dose—
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
Precautions While Using This Medicine:
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Using this medicine while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.
Call your doctor right away if you have swelling of the face, arms, legs, eyes, lips, tongue, or throat, or problems with swallowing or breathing. These are symptoms of a condition called angioedema.
You should not use this medicine (unless your doctor specifically tells you to) if you are also receiving cyclosporine (Gengraf®, Neoral®, Sandimmune®) or itraconazole (Sporanox®).
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur after the first dose, especially if you have been taking a diuretic (water pill). Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.
Check with your doctor right away if you experience dizziness, fainting, confusion, muscle pain, weakness, or a fast heartbeat. Use extra care if you exercise or if the weather is hot. Heavy sweating can cause dehydration (loss of too much water) or electrolyte imbalances (loss of sodium or potassium in the body).
Check with your doctor right away if you become sick while taking this medicine, especially with severe or continuing nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea. These conditions may cause you to lose too much water or salt which may cause low blood pressure.

Check with your doctor right away if you have the following symptoms: abdominal or stomach pain, confusion, difficulty with breathing, irregular heartbeat, nausea or vomiting, nervousness, numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or lips, shortness of breath, or weakness or heaviness of the legs. Do not use supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium without first checking with your doctor.
Make sure any doctor or dentist who treats you knows that you are using this medicine. You may need to stop using this medicine several days before having surgery.
Drinking alcohol or taking narcotic pain relievers or sleeping pills with this medicine may intensify feeling lightheaded, dizzy, or faint. Tell your doctor if you are drinking alcohol or using pain relievers or sleeping pills.

For thirteen years the Food Bank has celebrated An Afternoon in the Admiral's Garden with many friends and supporters. The end of last month marked our final fundraiser at the Mare Island venue with the historic mansion as our backdrop.
The event was a rousing success, with generous guests and donors providing $140,000 that will enable us to provide 280,000 meals to people in need in the coming months. Guests jammed to the music of Big Cat Tolefree and the Hipnotics, engaged in bidding wars over silent and live auction items like trips, dinners and spa days. They sampled fine wine and food from local vendors before the gourmet lunch, which has been a tradition that never disappoints.
Thank you to all of the attendees, staff, sponsors and volunteers who have helped provide over 5.7 million meals by participating over the last thirteen years. Those of you who completed our online survey by July 17 were entered into a drawing to win a $25 Safeway gift card. And the winner is… (drum roll)… Paul Clancy of Walnut Creek. Congratulations Paul!
Look for a new and exciting event from the Food Bank in the Fall of 2014.

Wish of Love by Avon Scentmatchers Version
On this website you will be able to purchase your discontinued fragrance again.
We specialize in expertly creating scents that smell nearly identical to your discontinued perfume or cologne. So if your favorite fragrance has been pulled from the market, we can help. We have years of experience along with the expertise and technology to create a nearly identical fragrance. Now you can have the elusive and rare product that you have been looking for!
Here's a few common questions about this process and their answers.
I have a scent I want matched and created, how does this work?
Simply choose your bottle, and a name to be printed on the bottle above. The bottle message is free and optional, if you prefer a blank bottle just don't click "Yes". Finally, let us know if this is a repeat order so we can be sure you get the same exact fragrance again (sometimes we update recipes).
What is the price?
$59.99 for a 3.4 oz bottle. The 3.4 oz. bottle is known as a large bottle in the fragrance industry. Shipping is a flat rate of $12.00 to anywhere in the United States via UPS Ground.
Are you sure you can match my perfume/cologne?
We are usually successful creating fragrances, we have a 95%+ success rate which to us means that most of our customers (8 out of 10 or more) love the fragrance. In the event we don't match the fragrance to your satisfaction we have a no return needed refund policy. Meaning you can keep it and still get your money back without lifting a finger or licking a stamp. In the end we do everything we possibly can to be sure you are satisfied in doing business with our company.
Why should I order from you?
We are a family owned American company that will hand make your product with care and attention. We have been in business for over 10 years and we have the experience necessary to recreate your fragrance. Our head perfumer, Angela Schultz, is a Certified Fragrance Expert as recognized by The Fragrance Academy (see picture gallery). In the event you do not like your fragrance we have the best refund policy you will find anywhere. Finally, we have a great group of employees with families that really appreciate your business.
Can I always reorder?
Yes we keep your order information on file forever so that we can always provide you the exact same fragrance. Just check Yes next to the box above that says "Is This A Repeat Order".
What ingredients do you use?
Our philosophy is to provide the minimum number of ingredients to make a terrific fragrance. We also think it's good to be clear about what we put in the bottle. Modern fragrances can contain over 300 ingredients! Why? Through tricks of chemistry it's cheaper to make the fragrance with these chemicals than it is to use straight perfume oils, which are expensive. We have taken a different route.
Our only ingredients are: Fragrance, Perfumer's Alcohol, and Isopropyl Myristate. That's it. They are all regarded as perfectly safe for humans. If you'd like to find out about each ingredient and why it's included you can click HERE.
How long will the scent last?
12-16 hours depending on the exact ingredients and your body chemistry. All of our fragrances are Eau De Parfum unless you request a weaker strength via e-mail.
Is it illegal to copy a scent?
No, definitely not! All fragrances are in the public domain, no one can own a scent or a fragrance (imagine if a company owned the scent of vanilla for instance). That said, we realize that a manufacturer's Trademark is valuable so we try to never sell a fragrance that they still want so sell and is not discontinued. We also make every effort to make sure customer's realize they are NOT buying the original fragrance, but rather a scent that is nearly identical but in a completely different bottle.
Do you offer a return policy?
Yes and it's amazing! You can find it HERE. Below is a summary:
If you are not satisfied with your fragrance let us know via e-mail and we'll refund your money instantly, no return necessary. We cannot re-use the fragrance for health and sanitary reasons so we see no reason to make you ship it back.
How Long Does it Take?
We ship 99% of our fragrances within 5 business days of when they are ordered. We do find that about 1% of the fragrances ordered are very difficult matches and in those cases we may need up to 3 weeks to match the scent. If you need the fragrance by a certain date it's best if you contact us after ordering so we can make proper accommodations.

When Joanie Demer used coupons to take a $600 grocery bill down to $2.64 on the TLC show "Extreme Couponing," she had a secret weapon.
Demer, who blogs at TheKrazyCouponLady.com, used plenty of ordinary coupons, the ones you clip from the Sunday newspaper for 50 cents off this or $1 off that. But her secret weapon was her stash of "Catalinas," supercoupons that took up to $5 off her bill with each swoop across the barcode scanner.
Catalinas — also known as "YourBucks" or dollars-off coupons — can be a bargain shopper's best friend, but you won't find them in the newspaper, and you can't print them online. These valuable coupons are available only from one source: a little printer at your grocery or drugstore checkout. The printers spit out a narrow tape of coupons for each customer, and far too many shoppers ignore them. Some of the things that come out of the Catalina printer are low-value coupons or worthless ads, but sometimes you will hit the jackpot with coupons for $1, $5 or even $20 off your next shopping trip.
Catalina Marketing is a St. Petersburg, Fla., company that works with manufacturers to target offers to specific customers with the help of data from loyalty cards. It makes sense that the company's machines print higher-value coupons than the ones in the paper or online: Through Catalina, manufacturers can issue fewer coupons overall to a more targeted group of customers, based on what they bought.
The most exciting thing about Catalinas is that, unlike a coupon you clip for 50 cents off a certain brand of toothpaste, dollars-off Catalina coupons can be spent on nearly anything, almost like cash.
"Some health-conscious consumers use them to save on categories for which coupons aren't typically or widely available — like fresh fruit and vegetables," said Catalina Marketing executive Susan Gear. "I've even heard of a woman who tipped a restaurant server with a $2 YourBuck reward."
If you buy $5.25 worth of bananas and hand over a Catalina coupon that reads "Save $5 off your next order," you'll pay only a quarter for the bunch.
The Frugalista gets so many dollars-off coupons that sometimes even the checkers at my local grocery ask me: How can I get some of these coupons to print for me?
Catalina does several types of coupon promotion, each with its own kind of "trigger purchase":
Big Catalina
Trigger: You spend a specified amount on products included in the promotion.
Example: "Spend $30 on these products, get $10 off your next order."
How you find out about it: Big Catalinas usually run only at one grocery chain at a time and are advertised in the weekly ads and in stores.
Little Catalina
Trigger: You buy a certain number of products included in the promotion, no matter how much they cost.
Example: "Buy four boxes of Brand X fruit snacks, get $2 off your next order."
How you find out about it: Catalina Marketing lists them at CouponNetwork.com. To view, click "YourBucks Offers." They may also be marked on store shelves or advertised by printouts from the Catalina machine. They often run simultaneously at multiple stores nationwide.
Product-specific Catalina
Trigger: You may get this kind of coupon out of the Catalina machine without knowing why. Sometimes if you buy one brand of something, the machine prints a coupon for a competitor.
Example: $1 off Brand X children's cold medicine.
How you find out about it: Usually unadvertised.
Now it may not seem like you can get ahead spending $30 to earn a $10 coupon. But you can sweeten the deal for yourself by using coupons for your initial purchase — coupons from the newspaper, the Internet, or even Catalina coupons earned on previous purchases. The amount you have to spend to trigger a Catalina print is generally calculated before your manufacturer's coupons come off. Imagine you buy $30 worth of the products in the promotion, but then you hand over $10 worth of coupons. Now you're paying $20 to get that $10 coupon — essentially getting 50 percent off the sale price. Not a bad deal, assuming you selected items you needed anyway.
When an attractive Catalina deal comes to one of my local stores, I set aside time to make multiple trips through the checkout lane and collect as many Catalina coupons as possible. This kind of deal has been a big help in building my grocery stockpile.

Yesterday I was just getting ready to cut and slam wedge some native clay that had been sitting on the wedging table to dry out, as I often do to pick out the odd little rock or left over hard chunks of debris. Found this little fellow "hunkered down", as they would say here in the South. He had chewed and burrowed his way about an inch into the clay.
Earlier in spring and summer, we are pestered by some much smaller black beetles, resembling this one, actually, only about 1 to 2 millimeters in length. They come out once the sun goes down and make their way into the studio, seeking out leather-hard pots and damp clay. Groups of them will actually burrow right through the sides of pots. Sometimes I think they make a point to go for those pots you have spent the most time on trimming or carving a design into …pure coincidence, of course.
Since we don't have screens on the windows and the studio is kind of open, we usually try and wrap or cover pots with dry cleaner's plastic. We have to also make sure we turn the lights to the studio off when we leave, since they don't seem to nibble in the dark.

Opposition to online sales tax wanes
SAN FRANCISCO — The push for a federal online sales tax bill previously pitched the young Internet industry against the old retail sector.
But no more.
Story Continued Below
The tech industry's passion for opposing the issue has waned. Internet retailers grew up, traditional retail giants now blend their online and brick-and-mortar stores and lawmakers no longer talk about needing to protect e-commerce as if it were a new species.
"It's a legacy issue" for tech, said Gary Shapiro, president and chief executive of the Consumer Electronics Association, which switched positions on the issue last year. The trade association now supports a federal bill, the Marketplace Fairness Act, which would give states the power to require remote retailers to collect sales tax. "The industry is neutral to sympathetic to the cause of the federal bill."
Congress will begin to consider the Marketplace Fairness Act introduced in both the House and Senate this month. Proponents, which include large retailers and state and local government organizations, say it is only fair that online retailers have to collect the owed sales tax like other retailers do. State and local governments are eager for the extra tax revenue. Amazon.com also backs the bill.
The bill faces an uphill battle despite bipartisan support, including from some Republican governors; eBay and small retailers say it will be too onerous to calculate the sales tax for a myriad of tax districts. Conservatives oppose the bill because it gives states more power. And perhaps the biggest hurdle to the bill is an old one: Voters could perceive the bill as a tax increase.
Some states have begun to create their own arrangements with online retailers, particularly with Amazon, as they wait for a federal bill. This is a break from the past, when some states maintained a hands-off approach to Internet retail because it was a relatively new sector.
That argument no longer makes sense, say proponents of an online sales tax bill.
"Real innovation is moving to many channels and meeting customers where they are," said David French, the National Retail Federation's senior vice president for government relations. "The emotional argument of the tech industry is 15 years old and relies on a stale perception of where the Internet is compared to the reality today of many forms of commerce."
In fact, don't expect the tech industry to carry the banner to fight the bill as they have against Hollywood and other sectors.
"Tech vs. Hollywood was all hands on deck," said Robert Atkinson, founder and president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a tech policy think tank. Opposition to a federal online sales tax bill "is a press statement. There's less passion and unanimity. There's a lot of companies that are frankly indifferent. They probably think it's better not to tax it, but it doesn't have anything to do with their business model."

Who among us can honestly claim to look better today than we did 20 years ago? Those who do likely credit advancements in cosmetic surgeries and anti-aging techniques, which polish our blemishes and restore surface beauties.
The same goes for "Jurassic Park." Steven Spielberg's edge-of-your-seat blockbuster celebrates its 20th anniversary with a 3-D restoration that improves digital effects that were considered spectacular for their time. The enthralling man-vs.-nature parable based on the late Michael Crichton's best-selling novel hasn't aged one bit. But the upgrade allows Spielberg's larger-than-life dinosaurs to fit perfectly on today's enlarged screens — and occasionally terrify audiences when those beasts reach out and appear to be going for our popcorn.
My preview audience was fired up for the blast of nostalgia, cheering the "Jurassic Park" title card, groaning when Laura Dern reached elbow deep into a 3-D pile of dino droppings and screaming in excited fear when a velociraptor tried to chomp Dern's head in a bunker. The crowd was rewarded with a breathtaking 3-D conversion that enhanced items both miniscule (Samuel L. Jackson's dangling cigarette ash, Wayne Knight's Barbasol can) and massive (the Tyrannosaurus rex, a crowning technical achievement in Spielberg's illustrious career). "Jurassic Park" was impressive in 1993. Twenty years later, it's flawless.
Spielberg has become a 3-D supporter in recent years, filming his animated "The Adventures of Tintin" with the visual enhancement and allowing technical wizards to add a rich depth-of-focus here. If enough moviegoers flock to "Jurassic Park," as I suspect they well, maybe one day we'll see Richard Dreyfuss creating 3-D piles of mashed potatoes, E.T.'s glowing finger reaching off of an Imax screen and Roy Scheider telling Quint that he's going to need a bigger 3-D boat.
"Jurassic Park 3-D" is rated PG-13 and is showing at College 9 and UEC Theater 12.

I'm Irish, But Don't You Dare Kiss Me
It's nice to see bakeries really getting into the St. Patrick's Day spirit this week:
By which I mean they've clearly been drinking.
This is one week I'd actually kind of love to work in these bakeries. I wouldn't be drinking, though; I'd just be egging on all the drunk bakers.
I'd be all, "Hey, guys, you know what we need? JEWISH LEPRECHAUNS."
And they'd be all, "OMG JEN YOU ARE SO SMART AND PRETTY BUT MOSTLY SMART."
Then I'd hold relay races where all the drunk bakers have to ice a cake with their elbows and pipe on the side swags with their teeth:
Next I'd get them all to do that thing where someone stands behind you and and you pretend their arms are your arms and play icing Pictionary:
And finally, I'd just be overly enthusiastic about everything they made, no matter HOW terrible, kind of like your favorite aunt acted when you were four:
[shrieking] THIS IS THE BEST SHAMROCK CAKE I HAVE EVER SEEN. Who wants more beer?
[gasp] Did you use the airbrush? WAY TO GO, YOU! And did you cut out that paper pot of gold yourself? You DID?! Well, now, who's a big boy? WHO IS IT?!
I have never wanted to kiss a red UFO more.
Yep, I'm telling you, guys, that would be a HOOT.
Now, y'all have fun this weekend, and be safe, and remember:
Easter wrecks are next.
Thanks to Tamara H., Dan B., Lindsay B., Timothy E., Dara M., Courtney L., Jessica D., & Amanda M., for the sobering selections. ;)

* TAX GIRL Kelly Phillips Erb reports that Money Management International thinks you can tell a lot about a taxpayer from their astrological sign in her post "What's Your Tax Sign, Baby?".
I am a Scorpio, and Kelly's post tells us that "Scorpios are characterized as being passionate. Of those who plan to splurge with their tax refund, one out of four is a Scorpio". What tax refund?
Kelly's "Fix the Tax Code Friday" question was "Would you favor a tax 'rebate' or advanced credit for 2008?". Check out my comment.
* Joe Kristan adds some additional things to look out for to the IRS "helpful hints when choosing a return preparer" in his post "Choosing A Reputable Preparer" over at the ROTH AND COMPANY TAX UPDATE BLOG.
I will be posting my annual "Don't Assume" advice regarding choosing a tax preparer next week. One preparer you cannot choose is me – I am not looking for any new 1040 clients.
* If you want to know more about the "Fair Tax" proposal for a national sales tax currently being touted by Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee (it is not his idea – it has been around for quite a while now – he just hung his hat on it) the TAX FOUNDATION BLOG provides an extensive reading list in its post "Fair Tax Article Roundup".
* MARKET WATCH reports that mutual funds issued record-breaking capital gain distributions this past December, which will mean increased capital gain taxes to be paid during the fast approaching tax season, in the article "How to Share Less With Uncle Sam". While these distributions will be taxed at the lower capital gains rates they will be taxed just the same. And even though the distributions are taxed at lower rates, they increase AGI and therefore could end up costing much more than 5% or 15%.
* CCH reported that "TIGTA Finds No Problems with IRS Fees Paid to Private Collection Agencies". A recent audit of fees paid by the IRS to private collection agencies conducted by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration apparently revealed no significant problems.
According to the article, "TIGTA also reported that its staff is performing an overall evaluation of the initiative to measure its performance and evaluate its effectiveness. The overall evaluation will also examine IRS oversight of the program, contractors' compliance with laws and procedures and taxpayers satisfaction with the program".
I will be interested in the findings of the full overall evaluation. I hope it will address the issue that IRS employees can do the same work for a lot less cost. Besides, as I have said here over and over again, the only motivation of an outside collection agent is to collect money - the more he/she collects the more he/she will earn - whether or not the money is legitimately due. Private collectors have no concern about verifying that the outstanding debt is correct or about responsible tax administration.
* Kay Bell from DON'T MESS WITH TAXES reports that the word from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) is "Taxpayer Information Vulnerable to Tampering"!
According to Kay, "In a report released yesterday, GAO investigators found that IRS records, including taxpayer data, are vulnerable to tampering or disclosure because the agency has not yet corrected dozens of information security weaknesses."
Oi vey! Or as Kay says, Yikes!
* Kathleen Webb provides "Four Nanny Tax Myths Debunked" in the Wednesday, January 9th posting at her NANNY TAX AND PAYROLL UPDATES blog.
* CCH reports that, as the tax filing season is about to start, so, too, are the email scams.
According to the article, "The latest version of the refund scam is similar to past scams. The email tells the recipient that he or she is eligible for an IRS refund. 'After the last calculations of your fiscal activity, we have determined that you are eligible to receive a tax refund of $129.53,' the email reads.
The email asks the recipient to link to an electronic refund request form so the IRS can process the refund. Scam artists then use the personal information on the form to steal the recipient's identity or for other criminal purposes. Some email scams contain harmful viruses or spyware that can infest the recipient's computer."
Remember, as I have said here time and again, the IRS will never initiate contact with a taxpayer via email! If you receive such an email delete it immediately.

A year after transplant, boy aims for games
Stonington — Zachary Abbett turned 12 in January. His kidney turned a year old last Thursday. Well actually, it's 25, according to Tia Dewick. She should know. She had it first.
She visited it again Saturday night when the Stonington Community Center hosted a combination celebration and fund raiser for Zachary and his family.
The Abbetts wanted to say thank you to the community that helped them when Zachary's condition was most serious.
And now they need help so that Zachary can play games.
"When Zach was in the hospital, I had to drive to Hartford four times a week," Laura Abbett said. "Without the help of the people in the community, I wouldn't have had the gas to get to there sometimes."
To get an idea of how well Zachary is doing a year after, consider that the next place the Abbett's hope to get to is Disney World, in June. There, Zachary wants to swim and bowl with Transplant Team Connecticut in the National Transplant Games, in which recipients of life-saving transplants take part in 37 events and more than a dozen sports.
The problem, Laura Abbett said, is that families have to pay their own way. The National Kidney Foundation of Connecticut provides collectibles and candy for fund raisers, such as Saturday's, to help families defray the cost of lodging. The A&P Food Mart where Laura works part time donated hotdogs, pizza, soda and chips. The profits from those sales went toward the family's airfare.
Being healthy enough to go to Florida and compete might be the best testament to the success of Zachary's treatment.
"I play basketball, roller hockey and street hockey," said Zachary, who also spends a lot of time peppering his best friends with witty jabs. "And I eat breakfast without puking. So that's good."
His mom looks at some of his other activities to gauge her son's progress.
"He made the honor roll for the first time, this quarter, she said. Not only that, but for the first time, he was student of the month. It's because he's healthy. And that's because a lot of people helped us."
The Abbett's and DeWick wanted the party to serve one more purpose. They all said they want people to become organ donors.
"You shouldn't wait until you are the one who needs it," said Alan Abbett.

Serves: 4-6 (about 16 tacos)
Cook Time: 1 hour
1 pack HEB Homestyle Tortillas
1 teaspoon HEB Kosher Salt
1/2 cup HEB Mayo
1/2 cup Mexican crema or HEB sour cream
1/4 HEB whole milk
1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce, add more for extra spicy
1 garlic clove, minced
3 limes
1 quart HEB canola or vegetable oil
2 cups HEB all-purpose flour
One 12-ounce lager beer of choice
1 pound Fish Taco Mahi Chunks (HEB Seafood Department)
Small head of green cabbage, shredded finely
3 ripe avocados, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh cilantro
- Heat tortillas on each side for 15-20 seconds either on the grill or Comal. Cover tortillas in a dishtowel to keep warm.
- Combine mayo, crema, milk chipotle sauce, garlic and the juice of 1 lime in a medium bowl and mix till incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning. Cut remaining lime wedges for garnish.
- Heat the oil to 350 in a deep pot over medium heat or set your deep fryer. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, beer and salt. The mixture should have the texture of a pancake batter. When the oil is hot (if you don't have a thermometer, you can test the oil by dropping in a bit of the batter to see if it sizzles), dip the fish pieces in the batter and fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
- Arrange the tortillas on a serving plate and place on piece of fish on each tortilla. Top each taco with a large pinch of shredded cabbage, drizzle of sauce, slice of avocado, and a few cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately with a lime wedge and a cold beer or margarita.

Updated, 11:55 a.m.
Less than two weeks after taking medical leave in the wake of multiple car accidents, U.S. Commerce Secretary John Bryson has resigned. Bryson sent a letter informing President Obama of his resignation Wednesday night, according to a Commerce Department official, and told his staff of his decision in a letter circulated Thursday morning.
Bryson's departure began with a troubling incident on June 9, when the 68-year-old Commerce secretary, a longtime energy executive, was involved in a series of car accidents near his Southern California home. In one, Bryson rear-ended a car stopped at a railroad crossing, got out of his Lexus and offered to exchange information with the passengers in the damaged vehicle before speeding off, according to police reports. He collided with another car shortly thereafter and was found unconscious in his vehicle at the scene. According to police, there there was no indication that alcohol or drugs contributed to the accidents. Aides said he suffered a seizure.
It was this condition, which prompted Bryson to take medical leave two days after the incidents, that the Secretary cited in tendering his resignation to the president during a conversation on Wednesday night. "I have concluded that the seizure I suffered on June 9th could be a distraction from my performance as Secretary and that our country could be better served by a change in leadership of the Department," he wrote to Obama. He had served in the post since last fall, filling a vacancy left when former Secretary Gary Locke decamped for Beijing to become the nation's top envoy to China.
Bryson's deputy, Rebecca Blank, will continue to serve as Acting Secretary, Obama said in a statement Thursday morning announcing that he had accepted Bryson's resignation. While the President's statement was dense with praise for Bryson, his departure closes a chapter that some conservatives had sought to cast as another example of tumult within the Obama Administration's ranks. It was, as Bryson suggested, a distraction.
The Commerce Department official did not say whether whether or not the White House had sought Bryson's resignation.
