There is regular "comfort food" and then there is food of such sublime unctuousness that a different term is necessary: let's just call it "fried." Two offerings at Missoula's Double Front Cafe fall into this elevated category, and they aren't chicken.
Offering #2: After you've savored the wedges, it's time to raise the bar. In an even more outrageous effort to nourish your inner child, Double Front also offers sweet corn nuggets (also $6.99). Take a thimble-sized globule of creamed corn, batter and fry. The result is a swingers' party of tastes and textures: crunchy, creamy, savory and sweet. Dip them in ranch to add a layer of flavor. Or, what I really recommend, is dipping them in maple syrup. It's absurd and delicious.
Bonus: You will find the wedges and nuggets on the Double Front menu with the other appetizers. This means, technically, you should still have room for a main event. Which is a good thing, because Double Front fries chicken too.
Where to find 'em: Double Front Cafe is located at 112 W. Alder Street in Missoula, and features two dining rooms: a street level family friendly space and a bar in the basement.

On May 20, Steve Zetterberg leaned back in a chair and propped his boots on what used to be the receptionist's desk at Highway Technologies' Missoula branch office. Nearby, the office manager paced as he talked on a cellphone, while another group of employees stood idly in a group, speaking quietly. Most of them had found out over the weekend that this was their last day of work. All of them were blindsided by the news.
"There was no talk of this coming," says Zetterberg, who is a field supervisor with the company. "It's like getting kicked in the stomach."
Highway Technologies is a Houston-based subcontractor that provides traffic control, concrete work and guardrail installation for highway construction projects around the country. The company has 33 branch offices in 13 states and employs more than 1,500 people, including as many as 180 in Montana during the summer months. At around 9:30 p.m., on Friday, May 17, the Montana office's manager, Gary Pfister, received a call from a company executive informing him that all of the company's projects—including roughly 15 in Montana—would be terminated, left to be picked up by other subcontractors. According to Zetterberg, more than 80 Montanans would be losing their jobs immediately.While he says he knew the company had been struggling nationally, Zetterberg believed the Montana office was profitable.
"We thought naively that we were in great shape because we were one of the few offices making money," he says. "But nationwide I guess they couldn't secure the financing to do the work."
As of May 21, Highway Technologies' corporate office had not returned phone calls requesting comment, and its website had been changed to a password-protected page. The only official statement came via the company's Twitter account on May 17: "We are sorry that as of this morning, Highway Technologies doors have been closed."
Though details are sparse as to what made the business so suddenly close shop, the subcontractor has for years been facing problems with safety violations. Since 2007, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has inspected the company on 10 different occasions. In February, it was fined $480,000 and placed on OSHA's Severe Violator Enforcement Program following a 2012 incident where a Wisconsin construction worker was killed after coming into contact with power lines. According to a public affairs representative from OSHA, the company was in the process of contesting those penalties when it announced its closure.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): "I'm still learning," said Michelangelo when he was 87 years old. For now, he's your patron saint. With his unflagging curiosity as your inspiration, maybe your hunger for new teachings will bloom. You will register the fact that you don't already know everything there is to know … you have not yet acquired all the skills you were born to master … you're still in the early stages of exploring whole swaths of experience that will be important to you as you become the person you want to be. Even if you're not enrolled in a formal school, it's time to take your education to the next level.
Where You're Drinking: It's summertime (sorta) and the living is easy. During the glorious bright, warm days of late spring, all we want to do is find a place to relax outside, sip a cold one and feel the breeze on our skin. We can think of many great places to drink outside, but Al's and Vic's has a special charm. This isn't the most scenic of patios, located as it is in an alley, with the view dominated by power lines and a telephone pole. Once we spotted a severed chicken foot sitting on one of the tables, and watched as a group of people, determined to enjoy the sunshine, sat there anyway.
So, about that charm: There are a few theories as to what makes the Al's and Vic's patio special. For one, on a slow weekday afternoon, bartender James Cleveland puts special care into mixing drinks, from muddling lemons to blending a gin and tonic and topping it with bitters. For another, despite the power lines and telephone pole, we can still gaze at plenty of beautiful blue sky while sipping our cocktail or beer. Cleveland has his own theory. "If you like to watch homeless people pee in dumpsters," he says, "it's a slice of the seedy side of Missoula." We're not so sure about that one. An afternoon kicking back outdoors seems like a slice of something nice, anyway.
What You're Drinking: We're partial to the specials, like Sunday's $1.75 Olympia tallboys and $3.25 double wells on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Where to find it: Al's and Vic's is located at 119 W. Alder St., next to James Bar. You'll find the patio in the back.

Curses, Foiled Again
Authorities charged Carolyn James, 55, with assaulting her 96-year-old mother in Dickson City, Pa., after a neighbor recorded James slapping the invalid woman on the back and neck, screaming obscenities and threatening to break her arm. Mark Gruss told investigators he was testing webcams when he picked up a live feed from a webcam in James's living room. James had installed the webcam herself so she could keep an eye on her mother.

New Orleans police said surveillance video recorded an armed robbery that began when a man pointed a shotgun in the victim's face and demanded money. The victim grabbed the shotgun from the robber and chased him off. Moments later, two men drove up, and the driver said, "Give me my gun back, and I'll give you your phone that you dropped." The victim declined and used the shotgun to knock out the rear windshield, sending the two suspects fleeing. (New Orleans' WWL-Radio)

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In the alternate universe created by Marvel comic books, there is a mutant superhero called Squirrel Girl. She has the magic power to summon hordes of cute, furry squirrels. Under her guidance, they swarm all over the bad guy she's battling and disable him with their thousands of tiny chomps and thrashing tails. She and her rodent allies have defeated such arch-villains as Dr. Doom, Deadpool, Baron Mordo, and Ego the Living Planet. Let's make her your role model for the coming weeks, Aries. The cumulative force of many small things will be the key to your victories. As in Squirrel Girl's case, your adversaries' overconfidence may also be a factor.

Hi, I live in a developing country where University degrees hold local value only and many courses are non existent. I want to become a computer engineer in software or hardware. I face a lot of abuse at home due to my psychopathic father (read details here). I want to study in a good university preferably in the US or a good place in Europe. However International fees are really really high.
Does any one have advice on this. The place should also be relatively easy to get a job after graduating and a citizenship. I have software development skills that are well above what most students have at my age and I expect to manage computer related courses very well.
In fact I am abused so much, if I had the cash I would move out now.
And no I am not joking, making stories, looking for donations from members or anything so please respond with helpful advice.

Satisfying customers with an extensive selection of reasonably priced discount fabrics and trims to cover all their home decorating and craft needs since 1984.
I love this thread and the price is right. I use it for other sewing projects not just serger. 5.21.2013
Best deal in fabric I have ever gotten! Sizes were amazing! Sooooo much fun, I will be ordering it again soon. Even my mother (who does not sew or buy fabric) was amazed at the quality and quantity and total fun of the shipment!!!! I'd give it more stars if I could! 5.21.2013
Love this pattern and the color is great. The fabric is a little lighter weight than other Premier Print fabrics but is very easy to work with. 5.21.2013
This fabric is being used for table linens for a sunny yellow wedding shower. I was so excited to find it online for the price. I ordered but was contacted within the week to explain that it was on back order. A personal phone call! The woman (sorry, I don't remember her name) was so darn apologetic and polite. She explained that the warehouse was getting another shipment within a week and that their turnaround was very quick. She assured that I would receive the shipment within a week. It was perfect. I got my fabric, it is perfect and I'm very happy with the personal service I received. Thank you. 5.21.2013

Introducing Uganda
Travel alert: Lonely Planet refers would-be travellers to Uganda to the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office travel advice on the country:
"There is very little social tolerance of homosexuality, which is illegal. A Ugandan MP has proposed reactionary legislation that would further criminalise homosexuality and introduce the death penalty for some activity (currently going through the parliamentary process as a private member's bill). "
The UK Foreign & Commonwealth office also advises against all travel to areas of northeastern Uganda – seek specific advice if you are seeking to travel to Kidepo Valley National Park.
Uganda is Africa condensed, with the best of everything the continent has to offer packed into one small but stunning destination. Uganda is home to the highest mountain range in Africa, the Mountains of the Moon in the Rwenzori National Park. It is the source of the mighty Nile, and around Jinja offers the best white-water rafting in the world. It has the highest concentration of primates on earth, including the majestic mountain gorilla, one of the rarest animals on the planet. Head to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park for a chance to get close to these great apes.
On top of all this, the scenery is so striking that it looks like an oil painting, the beautiful national parks see far fewer visitors than in neighbouring Kenya and Tanzania, and the capital, Kampala, is safer and friendlier than most in Africa. In 1907 pioneering tourist Winston Churchill called it the 'Pearl of Africa'. He was right.
Mention Uganda to most people today and the first thing they'll think of is the brutality of Idi Amin. Their naivety is their loss as, thankfully for Uganda, the big man died in exile in 2003. The reality is vastly different. Stability has returned to most parts of the country and tourists are welcomed with open arms (some areas, particularly in the north, remain unsafe for travellers - see more in the Health & Safety section). Despite the trials and tribulations of the past, Ugandans have weathered the storm remarkably well. The people offer heart-warming hospitality up and down the country, their ever-present smile accompanied by 'Hello Mzungu!'. They are truly some of the finest folk on the continent.
Take the plunge now, before the world wakes up to this magical microcosm of Africa.
Ready to go?
These tours & activities make it easy:
- Track mountain gorillas, golden monkeys and chimps in the wild
- Go on an unforgettable gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park
- Discover the true habitat of gorillas and rhinos
- Embark on the journey of a lifetime from Nairobi to Cape Town

Reports: Phillies sign John Lannan
The Phillies filled two holes Saturday, first with the addition of setup man Mike Adams, and then John Lannan as the fifth starter.
Reports: Phillies sign John Lannan
Matt Gelb, Inquirer Staff Writer
The Phillies filled two holes Saturday, first with the addition of setup man Mike Adams, and then John Lannan as the fifth starter.
Lannan agreed to a one-year, $2.5 million deal as reported by CSNPhilly.com and CBSSports.com. The 28-year-old is the favorite to slide into the rotation spot vacated by Vance Worley. At $2.5 million, the risk is small, and Lannan could shift to the bullpen as a long man if ineffective in the rotation.
The lefthander fits the description of a "low-risk, high-reward" starter Ruben Amaro Jr. said he was seeking. Marginalized in Washington, Lannan made only six starts in 2012. He has a career ERA of 4.01 in six seasons.
He is not a strikeout pitcher (4.7 per nine innings) and has struggled with control (3.4 walks per nine innings). His career numbers mirror that of a typical fifth starter, if not better. Lannan's fastball typically averages 88-89 m.p.h. and he relies on a change-up while also throwing a curveball and slider.
The Phillies usually crushed Lannan to the tune of a 5.53 ERA in 19 career starts. But remove his pitiful numbers against the Phillies and his career ERA drops from 4.01 to 3.80. He has a 6.49 ERA in eight career starts at Citizens Bank Park.
Lannan is perhaps best known among Phillies fans for breaking Chase Utley's hand with an errant pitch in his major-league debut five years ago. Eleven of his 30 career hit batters have been Phillies.
After being hit, Utley then said he did not think Lannan was throwing at him.
"I don't think he was trying to hit me," Utley said that day. "It kinda got away from him. He's a young guy. He hit two guys in a row. I don't think he was throwing at us."

- The Phils will make Lannan feel better than the Nats did, just by spelling his name right. (First week with the Nats, they misspelled his name on his uniform; later they blew it again in the scoreboard.) Let's hope he gets comfortable quickly, and fills the Blanton spot well.

This winter, what's he done? Traded for a 24-year-old CF who makes $585,000 and is under club control through 2017; obtains Michael Young and thumps Texas into paying for $10 million of his $16 million contract; signs Lannan on an afforable deal that bides time for Pettibone or Biddle to get ready or Cloyd to overcome the doubters; and the Adams deal seems expensive on an annual basis, but it's only for two years.
Meanwhile, he steered clear of Hamilton and seems to be avoiding Swisher, who will want and likely get $17 million a year for 5 years. Now, Amaro's thumped for not doing enough. eman

Contraceptive ads from the past: blunt, weird, and hilarious! Pulled straight from the archives at the National Institutes of Health, these incredible ads from all over the world date back to the 1960′s. Some of them are amazingly bold, especially considering the way we beat around the bush with terminology these days. Frankly, it's refreshing to see advertisements that are so blunt and silly. Check out more vintage contraceptive ads below the cut!
Since we are still living in a time where politicians can not say the word "vagina" without considerable backlash, it's clear that sex and contraceptives are going to continue to be a touchy subject… forever? It's unfortunate that women are still having to fight for basic, personal healthcare needs but apparently… that's just how it goes. So, in the meantime, let's all laugh together at the awkwardness, bluntness and hilarious hairstyles of these vintage contraceptive ads. [via Mother Jones]
Are you laughing yet, Lovelies?

Discoveries ›On CNN: Watch NARSAD-Grant Funded Research (Deep Brain Stimulation) Improve Lives
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a newer treatment option for patients with severe depression. Using pulses of current, DBS regulates specific areas of the brain (DBS is often referred to as the 'Pacemaker for the Brain'). Developed in the 1980s, DBS was not used to treat depression until Foundation Scientific Council Member Helen Mayberg, M.D. began her pioneering work with the technology in 2003 with the support of a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Grant and the findings of her earlier NARSAD-Grant funded work. DBS is used in the treatment of depression to target an area in the brain Dr. Mayberg found to be an important locus of depression pathology.
20 years ago, Dr. Mayberg used her first NARSAD Young Investigator Grant to investigate brain changes in depressed patients using functional neuroimaging. With the help of a second NARSAD Grant, she went on to identify the subcallosal cingulate--Brodman Area 25--as not only a key conduit of neural traffic that gives rise to emotion, but also as an area that appears overactive in depressed people. In 2002, with a NARSAD Distinguished Investigator Grant, she led breakthrough research when she piloted the use of DBS to target 'Area 25'.
Today, a new study called BROADEN (Brodmann Area Deep brain Neuromodulation) is taking place at multiple research centers around the country including Vanderbilt University Medical Center, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Virginia Commonwealth University and the Zucker Hillside Hospital in New York in an attempt to further justify the use of DBS for treatment-resistant depression. Participating in this randomized clinical study are NARSAD Grantees Ronald Salomon, M.D. (Vanderbilt University), Anthony Rothschild, M.D. (University of Massachusetts Medical School), and Stephan Taylor, M.D. (University of Michigan).
To learn more about Deep Brain Stimulation, watch CNN Presents on April 21, 8pm EST to see a great recovery story featuring a woman who was treated by Dr. Mayberg at Emory University for her severe depression.

I can relate to this woman--my depression is so bad that I wish I would die. I feel empty and alienated from everyone many times. My depression is worse than my schizophrenia symptoms! Who can I see in the Norfolk, VA area to do some testing!!!

Daily App Review: Klik For iPhone
Daily App Review: Klik For iPhone
Among all the gadgetry on display in Mission Impossible IV, perhaps the most striking was an iPhone app that could identify people who appeared on the camera screen. Well, Klik aims to do just that for more normal iPhone users.
The app is available, quite remarkably, for free on the iTunes App Store. You need a Facebook ID to log into it, but given the fact that just about everybody in the world is on Facebook, that should not prove to be an issue for most users. However, the real magic of the app reveals itself when you launch it and point at a person you know--in most cases you will see the name of the person appearing right above their faces on the display. It is rather magical, and while it seems to work best with those friends who are already on your Facebook account, you also get the chance to tag the faces of those people who are either not on your Facebook or are not identified correctly by the app--just snap a picture of the person and add a name to it (you can choose to share this ID or keep it private, as per your needs). You can also add locations and if you are the Instagram types, even throw in a filter or two. Just remember to use the app frequently--as in voice recognition, here too, the more images of a person the app identifies, the quicker it works.
Which of course brings us to the little matter of speed. We found that while the app worked fairly quickly on a 3G/Wi-Fi connection, identifying a person within a few seconds, it lagged visibly on EDGE and GPRS, and what's worse, often failed to identify the person altogether, leaving a question mark hovering above their faces. We also found it working a whole lot faster on the iPhone than on the iPod touch or iPad--whether this has anything to do with the better camera on the device, we know not, but while it can work with the iPod and iPad, the iPhone is clearly the best device on which to use this app.
As of now, we must confess to being more impressed with the potential of Klik than its actual practical use, which is currently limited to party tricks and the odd time when you walk into a room and can recall but not remember the faces of people in it. However, we do think it represents a huge step forward in the field of face-recognition technology, and is by far the most mainstream app we have seen in the field.
Imagine aligning this with augmented reality app, so that when you point your phone's camera at a place, you not only get information about the place but also find out the people who are there. Yes, one will need to have proper privacy protection measures in place to ensure that such an app is not misused, but as we said, the sheer potential of this app is nothing short of mind-boggling.
And even as we wait for Klik (or maybe another of its kind) to move up to the next level in face recognition, it is not half-cool to point your device at someone and watch the sheer disbelief on their faces when it identifies them. MI IV stuff, as we said earlier. A definite must-download.

Nokia 8310 - A nice phone to hold, but a bad phone to use. The software is very unstable and hangs often. It also switches off by itself all the time even after the phone was sent back to Nokia for repairs about 3 times. The calender function is also not as good as the 6510's. Some functions are not even on par to the 6510 even though it's more expensive than the 8310 and under the same category. Not a good phone to buy. (read more)

I had the Nokia 8310 for about 12 months, and at first it was the best phone I had owned so far. But from 6 months onwards it was always rejecting the sim card, re-booting itself (switching off and turning back on) and I had never dropped it at all. A lot of my friends owned this phone at the time and many had the same problems. On the good side, it had a radio, a blue screen (or red) which made a change from the boring green. It looked great and the best thing for me was the memory capacity... (read more)

The Nokia 8310 is a truly excellent mobile phone which in my opinion cannot be faulted. It does the job extremely well and efficiently even after I have dropped it on the floor and on hard road surfaces several times. The logic is excellent as on all Nokias. The only drawback is that it is not 'Bluetooth' without extras. (read more)

I have had the Nokia 8310 for just under a year now. At first i thought it was great it appeared to look great and have exiting games. But as timw went on the novelty sort of wore of. The games become quite boring after a while. It looks very good but it is old and out of date now. Also it doesn't have composer so every time you want a new tone you have to pay about £2-£3 for it! The internet works well and is easy to use. It has a calender which can process dates untill about the year 4000!... (read more)

The Nokia 8310 is very stylish and is small enough to fit in the smallest of pockets. BUT, it switches off without warning meaning you miss calls and texts etc.
Callers often complain about a squeeling noise when they call me. This is not audiable to me, but means sometimes calls have to be terminated and made again.
The radio is a cool feature. Some of the other features are useless. You would never use them.
Not the best phone on the market by a long shot.

I picked up a Nokia 8310 as a free upgrade from my 8210 (which was 2 years trouble free). All I wanted was a small mobile phone that works well for basic use so I figured the 8310 would be as good - right ? WRONG. Whilst I haven't suffered the 'switch off' problems apparently common with this phone, friends and family constantly complain about line noise when they ring me, likening the noise to 'crackling' and 'a fax machine'.

Hi, i have had this phone for about 2 years (or somewhere close). The early versions of this phone had major problems! Like all nokias they boast class, but unfortunatley having payed to have it sim free, i did feel left high and dry. The shop that i bought the phone from (time2talk in swansea) didnt want to know when i returned the phone. The phone had managed to turn itself off within 21 days of purchasing it. I was the left without a phone for over a month, while it was apparently being... (read more)

I have had three Nokia 8310 phones, the first two had a software fault, which when I received linked (over 159 character) messages, the old ones would keep coming back.
Occasionally lets you view text messages when phone is locked, but can't view all. Confusing!

The Nokia 8310 mobile phone's tech support probably doesn't exist when their phones are designed by so-called "fashion designers"? They never bother to respond to customers' complain even so when the phone is still under warranty. While the 8310 is monochrome LCD, their color display counterparts (at the time of writing this) are of low resolution but highly priced as well.
Talktime battery life for 8310 is marginally poor as compared to the old 6150. Other irritating things in the 8310...

Well Nokia should realize that they're not always on the top unless they'll improve their products and start anew like the era of 6150, 5110, and 3210!!!! I still keep my reliable 5110 in my drawer (not been repaired since 1998!!) in case this so called SOPHISTICATED 8310 wants to do what it only likes disregarding the wishes of the person who owns it. Paging Nokia Corp., stop disconnecting people....PLEASE!!

I've had three Nokia 8310 so far, the first one I got kept crashing, as did the second one, the third one had an updated ROM, so far so good.
The silver detail on the casing will come off after a while unless yo put the phone in a case.
Also quite durable when they hit the road although best avoided of course.
The battery lasts ages. the games are so so, Snowboard is lame, pairs....lame, pinball is good although there are only two tables to chose from and snake2....been there, done that.

I got my 8310 late last year (dec 02) after my 5210. And ive got to say, im impressed... the nokia 8310 is just like a color phone, exept of course, its got no color, n no polyphonic ringtone. But if there is any phone that comes close to a color phone, it has to be the nokia8310. I also like the fact that u can add multiple entries to someones name in the phone book, n how u can add lil pictures (mobile, home, office etc.) It is a good phone! :) (read more)

I "graduated" to a Nokia 8310 from the older 8210. Its main selling point was really its size. I wanted a phone that I could bring with me on nights out which would fit comfortably and inconspicuously into my trouser pocket. The 8310 does just that. It is a nice size phone, with decent reception and enough features to get you through, although it won't blow the minds of any technophiles. I have had it for over a year now so feel able to comment on it reasonably dispassionately.

Immensely annoying. I know a lot of people who have these Nokia 8310, and everyone has had problems. The model they replaced had software problems, and as usual Nokia replaced it with another one just as bad. The problems didn't start straightaway, but have got continuously worse. It turns off when you are trying to reply to an email, and periodically shows a message that the sim card needs to be inserted.

LUMBERTON — With hope, adventure, and superheroes battling against evil, it's no small wonder that comic books were created in 1929 as a way to escape the daily grind.
That was also the year that the United States — and the world — plunged into the decade-long Great Depression, thus providing the reason for their creation — comic books were made to be cheap to print, quick and easy to read, and to take the reader to another place.
More recently, they've also been made for collecting.
"It's the thrill of the hunt, trying to find the rare item," said Michael Chaudhuri, collector of comic books and vintage travel brochures.
Chaudhuri is also the organizer of the Comic Book, Sports Card and Collectible Toy Show which will come to Biggs Park Mall on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and continue Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.
"One thing that is great about comics," said Chaudhuri, "is that they are very affordable, and serve as a great way for kids to learn to read. Dealers at the show will have lots of 'Richie Rich' and 'Archie' comics."
The show, which is free to attend, will feature Southeastern North Carolina's largest selection of comic books from the 1940s to the present, sports cards and memorabilia of all types, vintage toys and action figures. There will be free appraisals of antique toys, comic books and movie posters.
"This affords collectors in Robeson County a chance to meet with fellow fans and to see all kinds of collectibles," Chaudhuri said.
The show will feature one local man's private collection of vintage toys.
Jason Spangler of Lumberton, who usually collects Boy Scout memorabilia, was enticed into buying "Star Wars" action figures and other collectibles when purchasing a collection a daughter was selling for her father.
"His toy collection … fit into about 55 Rubbermaid totes," Spangler said. "Things like Barbies, G.I. Joe, lots of action figures."
The contents of those totes joined other collectibles in organized shelves running the length of Spangler's garage walls. It includes 15- to 20-year-old mint-condition toys, "perfect for Christmas presents," starting at $3 and moving upward to $50 for high-end Barbie Dolls.
Chaudhuri will also be selling a vintage collectible — a comic from a small collection "Smash," called "Smash No. 12."
"It's a very rare comic book," he said. "This collection was incredible — it was literally stored in a shed in rural Maine for 70 years."
"Smash Comics" is the title of a comic book series, published for 85 issues between 1939 and 1949.
"Smash No. 12" is from 1940.
"The comics look like they were never touched by a human … and are in like-new condition, just amazing," Chaudhuri said.
He, along with Spangler, is expecting a big turnout of comic enthusiasts who can't get enough of the action.
"Comics are very popular right now," Chaudhuri said. "It's fueled in part by the rise of the comic book movie and TV shows, like the 'Walking Dead.'"
As crime-fighting superheroes make their way onto the big and small screen, Spangler thinks the collector's spirit will continue long into the future.
"I've always heard that people collect their youth," Spangler said. "Meaning that once we get old enough to have some disposable income, we often look back at the things that we enjoyed or wanted as a youth and spend money acquiring those items."

Using the mask you made in step 2, stamp with Versamark into square #8 and emboss with a color of your choice. I used American Crafts' ZING in Pewter.
Now your project should look like this, of course not exactly the same, because you most likely don't have the same products I do (BUT you can if you order the same kits I did!):
You can erase all the lines at this point, if you feel comfortable with free forming the rest of the project. The squares you've already added will support the grid just fine now, but if you are nervous, erase as you continue to add more elements.

The construction industry added 48,000 jobs in February, creating a dose of optimism in a segment of the economy gutted by the 2008 housing crisis.
Since the housing crisis reached rock bottom, the recovery has added 125,000 residential construction jobs so far — plus more than 184,000 jobs in other housing-related industries, according to online real estate firm Trulia.
"Yet housing-related employment is far below its peak. Residential construction jobs are still 39% below their peak during the bubble, and overall housing-related jobs are down 28% from their peak," said Jed Kolko, chief economist at Trulia.
Trulia ($30.53 0%) also reported that residential construction jobs rose 3.1% year-over-year — more than double the national employment growth rate of 1.5%. Residential construction jobs include general contractors, spec builders and specialty contractors.
Construction activity picked up with the overall economy, which added more jobs in February.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released its jobs report Friday morning, showing the unemployment rate declined to 7.7% in February from 7.9% in January.
According to analysts at Econoday, this exceeded the market expectations of a 7.8% unemployment rate.
Payroll jobs showed significant improvement with a gain of 236,000 jobs, the biggest one-month gain since last November, according to Doug Duncan, chief economist at Fannie Mae. Additionally, average hourly earnings and average weekly hours both increased as well.
"Despite considerable uncertainty stemming from the fiscal front, businesses have shrugged it off. The strengthening trend in hiring over the past six months provides some comfort that the economy will be resilient enough to withstand additional headwinds that may lie ahead," said Duncan.

DEAR ABBY Feb. 11: Be a sweetheart and reach out to someone who's lonely
DEAR ABBY: Valentine's Day is approaching, and I wanted to write concerning those of us who are single by choice, by circumstance, because of the death of a spouse or divorce.
This holiday was set aside to celebrate love and lovers, but it can be a lonely time for people who find themselves without a significant other. Valentine's Day is so commercialized that one is bombarded by ads for gifts, candy, etc., from every angle, which only enforces one's aloneness. The message is subtly sent -- but received loud and clear -- that an individual without a partner is worthless.
I would like to urge your readers this year to include those who are alone through divorce or widowhood in their celebration of this day. Make it a day on which they too can feel special, loved, and a part of things rather than isolated, forgotten and alone.
And don't stop there. All holidays can be lonely for those who have lost loved ones. Include these people in your holiday plans. You will be blessed by sharing, and they will be uplifted to know someone cares. -- SOLO IN TEXAS
DEAR SOLO: Thank you for your letter. Readers, if you're feeling down because you don't have a special valentine, the surest cure for the blues is to do something for someone else. Call someone who's alone to say, "I'm thinking about you."
If you know someone who's in a nursing home, take some flowers. Put your discarded items in a box and call your favorite charity. Donate some blood. Listen to your teenager. Tell your parents you think they're great. Forgive an enemy. Send a donation to a food program that benefits the needy.
And if you love someone, tell him or her NOW; please don't wait until next Valentine's Day to be a sweetheart again.
DEAR ABBY: I have had an embarrassing problem ever since grammar school. I bite my nails and cuticles until they bleed. If the pain is severe, or I see a piece of cuticle hanging, I stop until it heals. But then I start up again. How can quit this ugly habit? -- MANIC IN GRANDVIEW, MO.
DEAR MANIC: You have a problem that I'm told is shared by one in 12 adults. There is more than one solution for it, and the common denominator in all of them is MOTIVATION. Some helpful suggestions submitted by readers in years past:
(1) "What helped me to finally stop at age 45 was that I sat down and tried to figure out why I kept biting my nails. I finally realized it was because I couldn't stand the feel of a rough nail catching on the fabric of my clothing. Continued...
"Now I keep emery boards, from coarse to fine, beside my favorite chair, in my purse, in my glove compartment and by my bed. If I feel a snag, I immediately smooth the offending nail. It has eliminated my need to bite."
(2) "My high school teacher included some interesting lessons in personal hygiene in his biology class. One day, he asked us to scrape under our fingernails and look at what we removed under a microscope. Seeing face to face what had collected under there was enough to stop me from biting my nails. I haven't chewed them in nearly 30 years."
(3) "What stopped me was a job I landed as a teenager. I became an usher at a movie theater. My job required wearing a uniform, including white gloves. Not long after I landed the job, I noticed I had nice nails. The gloves were what did it."
(4) "Finally, when I was in my 30s, I asked my doctor to suggest a cure. He talked to me about obsessive-compulsive disorder and prescribed a low dose of a very safe drug used by people with O.C.D. In three weeks my nail-biting stopped for good."

I tried googling them but didn't come up with anything that looked like the scrubbing balls you ladies are showing. Do you have a link for them or are they your original designs?
If you are looking up scrubbing balls you may never find it, this is a cotton ball, or make-up remover puff. Not used for scrubbing, but for removing eye make-up. Nice and soft and gentle on the delicate eye area and washable to help the environment. They may stain horribly but they do come out clean to use another day. I made a whole bunch one time and gave them away as Christmas gifts along with a bottle of Avon's eye make-up remover, the best remover in the whole world that is also affordable
Check ravelery out and search there for this cotton ball.
I have also made scrubbies, but I modified the patterns I did find
I sell Mary Kay and think I will make some of these to give with our make-up remover. They probably work up pretty fast, too.

Auburn Fans Busy Booking Trips To Glendale, Arizona
By: Stephen Crews
Updated: December 5, 2010
Auburn University football players aren't the only ones taking a trip to Glendale, Arizona, for the BCS National Championship. Many fans are booking flights.
"We've gotten a lot of phone calls in the last couple of weeks," Albert Anson said.
And Anson, who is the owner of JTK Travel, says while some fans began planning the trip after this year's Iron Bowl victory, the biggest boost of sales came after the "W" in Saturday's SEC title game.
"We got several calls," he said. "A family of 50, actually, has booked."
But this isn't Anson's first run-in with fans wanting to follow their team.
Last year he says Alabama Tide fans were doing the same thing.
"The passion is pretty much the same," he said. "This has been a great shot in the arm for fans in the state of Alabama."
And Anson says many of his customers are returning from last year.
"Interestingly enough, most of our fans from last year came from mixed marriages," he said. "Alabama and Auburn marriages. So this time the other spouse gets to go on their journey. It's been very well received."
Well received and not surprising.
Even in a recovering economy, Anson says football bowl games will always sell out thanks to the fans.
"It's been absolutely fantastic," Anson said. "Travel has really picked up thanks to this win, thanks to the passion of the fans."
