I had the pleasure of meeting Shelley Ritchie, founder of Moondance Heavenly Desserts, the first week of January. Shelley met me at Whole Foods to bring me some samples of her desserts – cheesecakes & brownies. Shelley was diagnosed a few years back with wheat & gluten intolerance. She began to sift through baked goods trying to find something that met her standards. After mounting frustration, Shelley decided to create her own desserts.
From the Moondance website:

Shelley was nice enough to bring complimentary samples of 4 different cheesecakes & 2 different brownies. I think I died & went to heaven! Cheesecake was my favorite dessert before going gluten-free.
Descriptions from the Moondance website. My comments & thoughts are in italics.
Lemon Cheesecake –Cheesecake topped with a thick layer of refreshing lemon curd on a pecan shortbread crust. The perfect lemon cheesecake. Smooth & creamy.
Raspberry Ribbon Cheesecake – Cheesecake with an all natural swirl of luscious raspberry coulis on a pecan shortbread crust. Traditional cheesecake taste with a bonus. Very rich & satisfying.
Pumpkin Cheesecake -This seasonal favorite sits upon a delicious gingersnap crust. The heavenly aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg gives this cheesecake a delectable flavor. Our favorite. I served this to my Mom & sent some in to Aaron's coworkers. It was raved about. Perfect blend of flavors & amazing texture.
Fudge Brownie – Imagine chocolate… rich chocolate… and even more chocolate, and you have just described our Fudge Brownies. Each bite is filled with the lucious taste of fine chocolate. The brownies linger on your tongue like a decadant chocolate mousse. You won't be able to put these brownies down! Hands down one of the best brownies I have ever had. Thick, fudgey & gooey. YUM!
We have yet to get to the next two, but can't wait! If they are anywhere as good as the first 4 desserts, we are in for a real treat!
Walnut Brownie – The finest quality crunchy walnuts are nestled throughout our decadant Fudge Brownies for a taste experience that will send you to the moon and back! Packed with oversized chunks of walnuts, each bite of our Walnut Brownie is sinfully rich and will surely satisfy the inner chocoholic in you!
Butter Toffee Cheesecake – Our classic cheesecake topped with handmade butter toffee and drizzles of decadent chocolate on a pecan shortbread crust.

1. Leave a comment here telling me what your favorite cheesecake flavor is.
2. Tweet (@kbouldin) or blog about this contest & post a comment with the link or letting me know you tweeted.

Pope sends message of support, thanks to K of C convention
August 09, 2013
Pope Francis has sent a message of support and encouragement to the Knights of Columbus, who are holding their annual convention in San Antonio, Texas this week.
The Pope's message expresses thanks for the prayers that have been offered by the Knights for his pontificate, and praises the organization for acting as "protections of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment."

While the K of C does many good things, there is the continuing problem of its harboring many knights who publicly flout the Church's teachings concerning abortion, marriage, etc. How many US politicians proudly proclaim themselves knights at election time and then vote for protecting legalized abortion or destroying true marriage by unjust laws? The answer is, unfortunately, many. But the K of C has resolutely refused to do anything about this for decades.Perhaps Francis should address this too

The new president and Congress are getting ready to spend close to $1 trillion to stimulate the economy. I hope their plan succeeds in getting our economy back on track, but I am afraid that if the decisions about how to spend the money have to go through the usual congressional budgeting process, a lot of the money will be wasted and we will have little of lasting value to show for the money.
Even for the government, $1 trillion is still a lot of money. It is enough to give us a historic opportunity to strengthen the country's safety net by putting Social Security on a sound financial footing for generations to come. Here's how we can do it and stimulate the economy at the same time.
Let's set up a new trust fund for Social Security with a charter to invest the money solely to get a good return.
In my view, it is important that the trust fund's investment decisions be made without regard to political considerations. For this reason, I would set it up so the trust is independent of the government, but subject to its oversight. The organizational relationship of the Federal Reserve to the U.S. government is a good model.
We could give the president the authority to appoint eight trustees who, upon being confirmed by the Senate, would serve staggered eight-year terms so that every two years, two of the trustees could be changed. The trustees would then select the investment advisers who would be judged by and held accountable for delivering returns after all fees.
Right now, the U.S. government can borrow money for 10 years for about 2% a year. If we borrow $1 trillion and invest it in stocks, and stock market returns over the next 10 years are just average, the fund would generate roughly $80 billion a year for the Social Security program, net of interest payments.
Actual stock market returns could, of course, be higher or lower, but adding the returns from a $1 trillion portfolio to the Social Security program ought to be enough to put it on a firm actuarial footing.
This would restore confidence to a lot of people who depend on Social Security, as well as anyone who, until last year, was planning to retire solely on their 401(k) or IRA.
The addition of $1 trillion of new capital looking for the best returns would stimulate the healthy parts of the economy by enabling successful companies to expand and start hiring again. I think this is a better approach to creating good jobs than rescuing failing companies or putting people on the government's payroll.
If we are going to spend $1 trillion, this plan has a better chance of stimulating the economy and leaving a lasting benefit for generations to come than if Congress decides how to spend the money in its usual fashion.

Archives for October 2011
Emily and Lee
We are so excited for this engagement session post! Emily and Lee wanted to do their session at Emily's family farm in Independence, VA and it was beautiful. The house is very old and has not been occupied for many years. It is still well furnished with vintage antiques and made for a great setting. The house had a spooky feel and we gave a lot of the photographs a hazy, vintage black and white which makes this post great for October. We loved all the light fixtures that were exposed without any covering and the AMAZING black walnut tree that is over 1oo hundred years old in the front yard! What a perfect place and perfect couple. We can't wait to take their wedding photographs in July of next year here at the same home site!
Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Erin and Lawton–September 24, 2011
Within the last 8 days, Andrea and I have driven over 2,400 miles and taken approximately 5,800 photographs. Needless to say this is our peak season, and we couldn't be happier!
Erin and Lawton share a love that has lasted through Lawton's service in the military and more importantly a tour in Afghanistan. It's incredibly easy to see how much they cherish their time together after being around them a very short time. Their happiness and joy for one another is inspiring to all.
They were married at the Boxwood Estate in Mocksville, NC
Thanks for being an amazing couple and special thanks to you, Lawton, for your courageous service.
change is on the way…
We were fortunate enough to have traveled to Shreveport, Louisiana this weekend for the Three Nails Photography workshop.
The 14 hour drive was daunting and tiresome but after meeting some phenomenal artists and learning what I know now, it was totally worth it.
We have been thrilled for some awesome changes that we have had in store for several months and there is no better time to introduce them to everyone than now. After working with Meredith Smith of M Design Group for the past several weeks, we now have a new logo and brand that fits our style perfectly! Thanks Meredith!
Along with that, we are also completely moved into our office space above The Bride's Choice in Locust, NC. This is where our day to day operations will be taking place and where we will be holding all consultations for upcoming clients!
So stop by and show us some love!
Below are a couple sneak previews of two shoots I shot in Louisiana with Three Nails Photography!
We hope you enjoy!
Below, Baily Methvin, wore an amazing Vera Wang wedding gown.
More to come from both of these shoots soon!
Many thanks to Hunter and Brittany Leone for the awesome inspiration!

Following the algorithm, we determine in step 2 that the available vertical space is 100px. In step 3, we use the last bullet point, and lay the element out normally, as if it were in block flow, to determine its size. Replaced elements do not naturally shrink to fit into the space, so its hypothetical height is 200px. Then, down in step 14, we deal with align-self. This specifies that the element must be adjusted to the cross-size of the flexbox, so its height gets shrunk to 100px. No scrollbar is generated. In general, scrollbars will only be generated if a min-height is involved (which prevents 'stretch' from shrinking it to the height of the flexbox), or alignments other than 'stretch' are used. > Here's a similar example: >

 You meant "align-self: flex-end", right? I'll proceed as if that was the case. > Where is the cross-end? Is it the bottom of the flexbox (100px), causing > the flexbox to overflow out the top, or should the scrollable area extend to > 200px tall? Here, we do the same things we did previously, except when we come to step 14. Now, because the alignment is 'flex-end', it doesn't have its height adjusted, and just aligns its cross-end edge with that of the flexbox. So, yes, it then overflows out the top. However, because scrolling containers don't show their overflow, and you can't scroll past the top of an element, the overflowing part is simply clipped and is completely inaccessible. (If we ever allowed scrollable areas to scroll into negative positions, you could get to it.) > Should absolutely positioned flex items also increase the size of the > scrollable area and change the position of cross-end? This is further > confused in the wrap-reverse case where the cross-start is the bottom of the > flexbox (we need to resolve absolute position to determine the scrollable > area size, but absolutely positioned items will move during wrap-reverse > after we've computed the scrollable area size). This brings up an interesting question - if the flexbox is scrollable, should we take that into account when determining the available space, making those dimensions infinite? If we did, then English text in a row flexbox would trigger orthogonal flow stuff, unless we figured out some way to reword the the third bullet point in step 3 to avoid this. I'm inclined to say "no", and leave the available space calculations alone (except that scrollbars subtract from them, which does need to be edited in). That keeps things simple and predictable, and avoids any issues like what you've brought up. ~TJReceived on Tuesday, 12 March 2013 15:28:01 UTC

Sunday, January 14th, at the Society of Automotive Analysts annual conference in Detroit, analysts and automakers expressed their optimistic expectations regarding the 2013 auto sales.
Last year auto sales in the US reached the highest level since 2007, with 14.4 million units sold, up 13%. For 2013, most analysts and automakers predict that sales will reach 15 million units or even surpass this figure. According to their expectations, the pickup segment will be the one with the biggest market share gain, as new truck models will be introduced this year and the economy continues to rebound.
Citi auto analyst Itay Michaeli says that pickup sales will boost over the next 12 to 18 months and that auto sales this year will reach 15 million units, while auto analyst Jeff Schuster of LMC Automotive expects a 4% increase to 15.1 million vehicles in 2013 and 17 million vehicles by 2018. He added that this increase will be determined by the customers' need to replace their old cars and the fact that more people move out of their parents' homes and need their own vehicles.
"We see really stable levels of increase," Schuster said. "U.S. demand could be a bright spot in 2013 and 2014."

Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars: Bold Predictions for Each TeamSeptember 13, 2012
The Houston Texans travel to EverBank Field on Sunday to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in what looks to be one of the more lopsided matchups on the NFL's Week 2 slate.
These two teams couldn't be in a more divergent state of affairs for the 2012 season.
The Texans are once again dark-horse contenders in the AFC. If they can stay healthy, the trio of Matt Schaub, Arian Foster and Andre Johnson should make easy work of the AFC South this season on their way to a nice run in the playoffs.
The Jaguars, on the other hand, are under new ownership, dealing with a disgruntled star player in Maurice Jones-Drew and are one year into the Blaine Gabbert era at quarterback—one that started out rocky last season.
While it is still early in the season—and the NFL has taught us that nothing is a guarantee—Houston should be able to take a commanding lead in the division come Sunday after just two games played.
Here is a bold prediction for each team in Sunday's matchup.
Arian Foster and Ben Tate Combine for 175 Yards and 2 Touchdowns
While the score might indicate otherwise, the Texans didn't exactly dominate the Miami Dolphins defense in Week 1's 30-10 victory. Houston's offense was able to take advantage of a short field due to turnovers by Miami quarterback Ryan Tannehill.
However, don't let the 337 total yards accumulated by the Texans fool you. This offense is legit and features a wide assortment of weapons, primarily in the backfield with Arian Foster and Ben Tate.
While neither racked up tons of yards last week against the Dolphins, Foster did shine with his chances to get into the end zone.
The Jaguars allowed Adrian Peterson to have a huge day in his return to the field for the Minnesota Vikings last week. Houston should be playing with a lead the entire game and would do well to feed the ball to Foster and Tate all day long.
Blaine Gabbert Takes another Step in Shaking Last Year's Rookie Jitters with 275 Passing Yards and 2 Touchdowns
Jaguars' quarterback Blaine Gabbert hasn't endured much success in his short time thus far in the NFL, but his 260 yards and two touchdown passes last week in a 26-23 loss to the Vikings is a lot more in line with what many thought of him coming out of college.
While the Texans defense might not suggest ideal conditions for Gabbert to build a little momentum after last week's performance, he will certainly be in the position to do so.
Jacksonville should be playing catch-up most the game, putting the ball in Gabbert's hands to make plays if the Jaguars plan on keeping the score close.
Even in a loss, Gabbert can ride the coattails of last week's success and distance himself even further from last year's dreadful season.

Now that bye weeks are upon us, the position that worries fantasy owners the most is running back. Most owners carry two quarterbacks, and there are always plenty of receivers to go around, but the running back position is thin even without bye weeks weeding out the regulars.
Here are three productive replacements if you are searching for bye-week options at running back over the next month:
Jackie Battle, San Diego Chargers: Coach Norv Turner said last week that Battle could get a majority of the goal-line carries as the season moves forward. On Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, Battle not only got the goal-line carries, he also started over Ryan Mathews, finishing with 81 total yards and two scores. Battle got 19 touches compared to 16 for Mathews.
FantasySharks.com's strength of schedule rankings has San Diego facing some of the most run-friendly defenses over the next month with the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers on deck. Mathews is still the better overall fantasy option, but Battle could be carving out a Michael Bush-type role in San Diego's offense, so he's worth a look when the matchup is favorable.
Joique Bell, Detroit Lions: Despite Mikel Leshoure taking over as the Lions starting running back, coach Jim Schwartz said Bell likely would be his "closer." That is important to fantasy owners because whether the Lions are ahead or behind in games, Bell will rack up valuable points in garbage time.
After Bell's six-catch, 72-yard performance Sunday, he's averaging 9.9 fantasy points a game in points-per-reception (PPR) formats. According to FantasySharks.com's consistency formula, Bell has recorded three average games and one above-average game in the first four weeks. That's not bad for a guy who is still available in a majority of leagues.
Bell has a bye in Week 5, but after that he makes for a solid one-game replacement.
Jonathan Stewart, Carolina Panthers: Stewart has been hampered by ankle and toe injuries but looked good Sunday, rushing 10times for 40 yards. Stewart and DeAngelo Williams basically split the attempts, with Williams carrying 11 times for 49 yards, although he did score a touchdown. However, now that Stewart appears to be at full strength, he's expected to become a bigger factor in Carolina's offense.
Stewart caught 47 passes last season, emerging as Cam Newton's security blanket in the passing game. Williams has been the more productive fantasy back, but Stewart is a good bet to average double-digit points in PPR leagues since he's finally healthy.

Fantasy Football Start'em, Sit'em for Week 6
Going into Thursday Night's matchup against the Bears, the Giants had many problems and one of them was a lack of a rushing game.
With a pair of recently re-signed backs, the Giants rushing attack got back on track last night even though they fell to 0-6 on the season.
Giving the team their first 100-yard rusher this season, Brandon Jacobs rushed for 106 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. While few likely started Jacobs this week, those that did reaped huge rewards.
Every week, I put together a list of players that may be worthy of starting in your fantasy league(s) and those that deserve to be on your fantasy bench.
Of course, a huge factor in determining which players to start (or sit) is the rest of your roster and depth of your league. In addition, the Falcons and Dolphins are on bye this week.
Looking ahead to the rest of the games, here are some players to consider starting in Week 6:
QB - Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks (vs. TEN)
Wilson is averaging less than 200 passing yards and only 25.4 pass attempts per game, but he has thrown for six of his eight touchdowns in the past three games. In addition, Wilson has more rushing attempts (40) than any other quarterback in the league.
Even though the Titans have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, they have faced some relatively low-powered aerial assaults (Chiefs, Jets, etc.). I can see Wilson throwing for 250 yards, rushing for 50 yards and scoring two touchdowns in his matchup this week.
RB - Knowshon Moreno, Denver Broncos (vs. JAX)
The Broncos are nearly four-score favorites over the Jaguars and it means that we could see more of the team's rushing attack than in most weeks. Especially if this game gets out of hand early, we could also see more Montee Ball and Ronnie Hillman than usual as well giving both of them flex upside.
No team is allowing more rushing yards per game (160.6) than the Jaguars, who also allow 4.9 yards per rush attempt. It could be time for some more rock, paper and scissors.
RB - DeAngelo Williams, Carolina Panthers (at MIN)
Although he has yet to score a touchdown this season, Williams is fifth in the NFL in rushing yards per game (82.5). Through four games, Williams has 74 carries for 330 yards and six receptions for 41 yards.
The Vikings have allowed the third-most fantasy points to opposing RBs this season.
RB - Fred Jackson, Buffalo Bills (vs. CIN)
While C.J. Spiller has more talent and upside than Jackson at this point of their careers, it's Jackson that has been much more productive and consistent among the team's backs.
Through five games, Jackson has 65 carries for 309 yards and four touchdowns plus 17 receptions for 153 yards. In addition, he has double-digit fantasy points in all five games this season.
With the Bills starting Thaddeus Lewis, they will likely rely heavily on Jackson and Spiller this week even though it's not a particularly favorable matchup against the Bengals.
RB - Danny Woodhead, San Diego Chargers (vs. IND)
Only Chicago's Matt Forte, who has played six games already, has more receptions than Woodhead (31) among running backs. Since the season opener, Woodhead has a total of 29 receptions, 311 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns in four games. Woodhead has at least five receptions in each of the past four games and is on pace for 99.2 receptions this season.
Meanwhile, teammate Ryan Mathews is dealing with a concussion and did not practice on Thursday, which puts his status for the Monday Night matchup in question.
WR - Cecil Shorts and Justin Blackmon, Jacksonville Jaguars (at DEN)
As noted earlier, the Jaguars are four-TD underdogs on Sunday and that means garbage time will make an early appearance in this game. Although they won't be able to keep up with the Broncos high-powered offense, they will certainly throw it often enough to generate fantasy points.
Shorts, who leads the NFL in targets (62), and Blackmon, who had 136 yards and a score in his return last week, should both be WR2 options this week.
WR - Vincent Jackson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. PHI)
After a bye week, Jackson appears to be recovered from the rib injury that slowed him down in Week 4. The other thing that slowed him down was his quarterback and unfortunately the bye week did nothing to change that.
That said, the Eagles have allowed more fantasy points to opposing wide receivers than any other defense this season. Except against the conservative Chiefs offense, the Eagles have allowed receivers to tally more than 200 receiving yards and multiple touchdowns in all four of their other games this season.
WR - Josh Gordon, Cleveland Browns (vs. DET)
In the offseason, Gordon was one of my favorite players to target in drafts and the suspension was actually a positive for owners that wanted to draft him at a discount. Now that he's back from suspension, he's an every-week WR2 (or better). Gordon has at least 71 yards in all three of his games and a score and double-digit fantasy points in two of three.
The Lions have allowed more than 200 yards and a total of three touchdowns to wide receivers in their past two games.
TE - Garrett Graham, Houston Texans (vs. STL)
With Owen Daniels out for a while due to a broken fibula, Graham will get a larger role within the offense going forward. He has scored a touchdown in three of the team's five games so far this season and he's a borderline TE1 this week.

Here are some players to possibly sit for Week 6:
QB - Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions (at CLE)
With Calvin Johnson sidelined last week, Stafford struggled against a fantasy-friendly pass defense with only 14 fantasy points. Johnson is shaping up to be a game-time decision this week against the Browns.
If he plays, Megatron will be matched up with Joe Haden, one of the league's better young cornerbacks. The Browns have not allowed a 300-yard passer this season and have allowed only two passing touchdowns — and none in the past three weeks.
RB - Stevan Ridley, New England Patriots (vs. NO)
Assuming Ridley returns to the field this week after being inactive in Week 5, it's hard to have any confidence in him as a fantasy option. Ridley has had exactly 11 carries in each of his past two games played and the team will certainly use a mix of Ridley, LeGarrette Blount and Brandon Bolden against the Saints this week.
RB - Bilal Powell, New York Jets (vs. PIT)
Surprisingly, the Steelers have the league's most generous fantasy defense against running backs this season. Even though they are allowing only 3.8 yards per carry, they are allowing 122.8 rushing yards per game, which ranks 25th in the league. Only the Browns (eight) have allowed more rushing touchdowns than the Steelers (six).
That said, the Jets have a full complement of backs now with Chris Ivory healthy and Mike Goodson back from suspension. In the process, Powell had a season-low 13 touches against the Falcons last week. For me, Powell is only a flex option this week.
RB - Rashard Mendenhall, Arizona Cardinals (at SF)
Mendenhall scored a touchdown last week so he had a solid fantasy day, but he was relatively ineffective otherwise. He gained only 43 yards on 17 carries (2.5 yards per carry).
Meanwhile, rookie Andre Ellington has been much more productive averaging 6.7 yards per carry — more than double Mendy's 3.2 YPC — this season. He had only seven carries last week, but that was a season high. If Mendy continues to struggle and Ellington continues to shine, I would expect the split to become more equitable over the course the season.
WR - Dwayne Bowe, Kansas City Chiefs (vs. OAK)
Bowe has yet to have more than four receptions or 58 yards in any game this season. He has scored a touchdown in Week 2 and Week 4 (so perhaps he's due for another in Week 6), but he has limited upside. Bowe is averaging a career-low 10.8 yards per reception and there is no reason to expect that to improve.
WR - Steve Johnson, Buffalo Bills (vs. CIN)
Not only is Thad Lewis getting his second career NFL start, but the Bengals pass defense has been stingy. They have not allowed a 300-yard passer since September — of 2012, that is. The Bills will likely rely heavily on their duo of Jackson and Spiller out of the backfield even more than usual. Johnson is not much more than a flex option this week.
WR - Tavon Austin, St. Louis Rams (at HOU)
With four or less fantasy points in all but one game this season, Austin has had only six fantasy points total in his past three games. No team has allowed fewer fantasy points to opposing receivers this season than the Texans, who held the 49ers receivers to only two receptions for 21 yards last week.
WR - Eddie Royal, San Diego Chargers (vs. IND)
Since catching five touchdown passes in the first two weeks, Royal barely has as many receptions (seven) in his next three games as he had scores in Weeks 1 and 2. Cooling off considerably, few would consider starting Royal this week, but he would be third among the team's receivers that I'd prefer to start. I'd rather start either Vincent Brown or rookie Keenan Allen over Royal.
TE - Jared Cook, St. Louis Rams (at HOU)
Cook had a huge week in the opener (7/141/2) and since then, it's been dud after dud after dud. Cook has a total of 11 fantasy points in his four games since the opener and has a total of 13 receptions for 125 yards and no scores during that span. In fact, he's the second-best fantasy tight end in this game even with Daniels out.

Will the economy take the wind out of Patrick's plan?
Progress made on green energy; but timetable is dicey
By Erin Ailworth Globe Staff / January 29, 2009
Text size – +
Shortly after taking office in January 2007, Governor Deval Patrick made Massachusetts part of a landmark regional coalition to reduce greenhouse gases from area power plants. That April, he released a 13-page directive outlining some of his environmental policies. And in the nearly two years since, the state has produced a flood of green bills, mandates, orders, fledgling programs, and ... (Full article: 1131 words)

DOVER-FOXCROFT, Maine — The 5th annual Maine Whoopie Pie Festival was held Saturday, June 28, and organizers estimate that over 7,500 people came to Dover-Foxcroft to celebrate. "We were thrilled by the record-breaking turnout," said festival organizer Patrick Myers, "Even if it caught us a bit off guard. We know folks had to wait in line awhile to get at the Whoopie Pies, and we appreciate their patience." Myers said that festival-goers filled downtown Dover-Foxcroft from one end to the other from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Attendees at the festival had a lot to enjoy besides whoopie pies. The Piscataquis Regional YMCA put on their annual Earn Your Whoopie Pie 3k and Kid's 1K fun run in the morning. The Piscataquis Chamber of Commerce organized a fantastic vendor and crafter area along with local downtown businesses. Varney Agency hosted the Kid's Zone with rides and games for kids of all ages, Garelick Farms gave out free milk, and Whoopy Kat played live music all day long. The Festival also crowned their first 'Big Whoop,' Debbie Warren. Ms. Warren won a contest sponsored by Will's Shop 'n Save and Freedom House Bed and Breakfast receiving a fabulous prize package and the chance to be the Big Whoop for the day. The fun wasn't just limited to the Festival as many businesses got in on the action. Will's Shop 'n Save, the official grocer of the festival, not only raffled off a 50lb whoopie pie, but also had 200 containers of Hood Whoopie Pie Ice Cream that they gave away over the course of the day.
Winning bakers for the festival included Governor's Restaurant in the Traditional Category, the best flavored whoopie pie went to Al's Pizza Blueberry w Cream Cheese Filling, the Healthy Whoopie Prize was awarded to Elaine's Basket Café in Milo for their Yogi Healthy Oat Nut, Sweets Market was voted the best new baker by the festival judges, the R.M. Flagg Food Service Equipment Maine Made Whoopie Prize went to the Whoopie Pie Café for their Maine Blueberry Cheesecake and the Most Creative Whoopie Pie Name went to Levant Corner Store for their 'Nuttin Better' whoopie pie. The prestigious People's Choice Award, voted on by those attending the festival, was won by Levant Corner Store, with Al's Pizza coming in second, and Governor's Restaurant third. Complete results are available at www.MaineWhoopiePieFestival.com.
Mr. Myers also wanted to thank everyone who made the festival possible. "It's truly amazing how many businesses and organizations it takes to put on a party like this in a small town. We appreciate all their efforts and are already looking forward to next year. The date for the 2015 festival will by June 27. The Maine Whoopie Pie Festival is a fundraiser for the Center Theatre for the Performing Arts, supporting their work to bring arts, culture and entertainment to their community.

Two seasons ago, Barnstable's Hayden Murphy scored the winning touchdown in overtime against Bridgewater-Raynham that gave the Red Raiders the Old Colony League title.
Two seasons ago, Barnstable's Hayden Murphy scored the winning touchdown in overtime against Bridgewater-Raynham that gave the Red Raiders the Old Colony League title.
The senior running back duplicated that feat on Friday, breaking the hearts of the Trojans once again
Murphy scored a 48-yard touchdown with 54.9 seconds remaining as the Barnstable stunned B-R, 20-14, before a large gathering at Bridgewater-Raynham Regional High School.
With the loss, the Trojans (4-2; 1-1 in OCL) missed a golden opportunity to secure their first league title in three years.
B-R had a slim 14-12 lead late in the fourth quarter and looked like they would run out the clock after stopping the Red Raiders on a 4th and 12 play.
But Barnstable (5-1; 1-0 in OCL) forced the Trojans to punt and had a little less than three minutes to operate. Using the hurry up offense, quarterback Kristen Lucashensky completed four straight passes to get the ball inside B-R territory.
On a delayed handoff, Murphy took it straight up the middle and rumbled 48 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. Lucashensky then connected with Derek Estes for the two points to give Red Raiders the lead 20-14.
The Trojans had one last try, but quarterback Matt Clement had his pass picked off by Estes with 22 second left.
B-R got on the board first 6-0 when Brendon Gallagher scored a 10-yard touchdown. The point after was no good. The Red Raiders took advantage of a fumble and tied the score at 6-6 when Justus Chaffee scored from 23 yards out.
The Trojans scored right before halftime when Clement, who was 6-for-7 in the first half, connected with Mike Murano from 28 yards out to give B-R a 12-6 lead. Clement then hit Arcel Armstead with the two-point conversion to give the Trojans the lead heading into the locker rooms.
Before the game, B-R honored former player and 2007 graduate Joaquin 'Jack' Pereira, who was recently killed while serving in the military.

Dear Abby: I am writing about the letters you have printed about bullying. If an adult attacks an adult, the victim can call the police. If an adult attacks a child, the child can call the police. But if a child attacks or bullies another child, no adult will step in. The adults stand back and say things like, "They'll work it out," or, "It's part of growing up," or, "The bully must come from a broken home."
All violence is wrong. Kids will not work it out. Talking to bullies doesn't deter them. Child psychologists need to remember that bullies do it because they enjoy it. Bullies bully because society allows them to.

5 Fun and Free Things to do in Tampa with Kids
Sometimes in travel, we're surprised by cities that were never on our radar. We spent two days in the Tampa Bay, Florida area last year before and after a Caribbean cruise. It reminded us a lot of San Diego with its downtown layout, relaxed atmosphere and beautiful waterfront scenery. The area had a lot to offer families including these five fun and free things to do in Tampa with kids.
There is more to Tampa Bay beyond its beautiful beaches, Busch Gardens Amusement Park or the large Florida Aquarium. We won't hesitate to travel here for an extended stay or to use its easily accessible cruise terminal again.
1. Manatee Viewing Center
I now regret not saving enough time to visit this seasonal attraction that's open from November 1 to April 15 every year. The old Big Bend Power Station's discharge canal is a sanctuary for manatees when Tampa Bay's water gets too cold for them. The clean and warm waters of the canals makes it a wonderful natural habitat to see these gentle mammals up close.
The center also features a tidal walk with native Florida plants, birds and butterfly gardens. If all that isn't enough, there's also an environmental educational building to learn more about the manatees through hands-on exhibits and films.
3. Ballast Point Park/Bayshore Boulevard
This is one of Tampa's oldest neighborhood parks and has been around for over 100 years. It was recently renovated with additions of tot lots, an interactive water splash pad, picnic shelters and specially designed playgrounds. This family-friendly park also includes a wooden fishing pier whether you want to catch one of your own or just sit back and watch the others reel them in. It's a great place to relax and enjoy the beautiful waterfront views of downtown Tampa.
This park easily accesses Bayshore Boulevard, the world's longest continuous sidewalk at 4.5 miles, with some of the most beautiful homes along its roads. Bayshore is also popular for outdoor activities like rollerblading, jogging, biking or leisurely strolls along the water.
3. Historic Ybor City
Ybor City was once Tampa's hand rolling cigar center and is now known as its Latin Quarter. These old brick buildings and iron buildings are still present along 7th Avenue. This National Historical Landmark District offers historic walking and self-guided tours. We liked walking around the shops, cafes and restaurants here and felt like we were in a little Spanish town instead of a sprawling Florida city. We spent some time and ate at Centro Ybor which was a quaint outdoor shopping center.
Don't miss the Columbia Restaurant which is the oldest and largest Spanish restaurant in the United States. It was founded in 1905 but the main attraction for me was its beautiful and colorful mosaic tiles outside. Unfortunately, we had already eaten after finding this place.
4. Tampa's Beaches
Tampa Bay's white sand beaches consistently rank as some of the best beaches in the country bordering the blue-green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. From Clearwater to Madeira to St. Pete, you can't go wrong with a trip to the beach no matter what season it is elsewhere. There are plenty of beaches to choose from depending on your interests. The area boasts 361 days of sunshine a year making it perfect for many outdoor activities on or near the water.
5. Pinellas County Heritage Village
Heritage Village is a living history museum depicting village life in the 1800s with over 28 historic buildings including a school, homes, railroad depot and church. Docents and volunteers are on hand to bring Old Florida history alive for the visitors through exhibits, workshops and demonstrations that include gardening and palm frond weaving.
The village presents a hands-on learning experience for the kids encouraging everyone to "touch, explore and play". Free self-guided adventure activities using clue stations and maps ensure kids are learning while having fun. How about some wooden cattle pen building or loading/unloading luggage carts at the train depot?
Occasional Freebies
- Kids can ride the miniature trains at the Largo Central Railroad during the first weekend of each month for public run days starting at 10AM.
- Tampa Museum of Art offers 'Art on the House' on Fridays from 4-8 PM.
*Have you visited any of these free Tampa Bay attractions? Any other free attractions you'd like to add?
This is a part of a series called Five Free Family Friday. I hope this will grow into a collective guide of free family-friendly attractions of places all over the world. If you'd like to contribute with the free attractions in your home city, I would love your guest posts.
Pin it for later!

Pet Friendly TravelingThursday, May 20th, 2010
Well, we are back – sigh – to our normal lives – sigh – after an awesome trip to Florida. We stayed in Watersound – a lovely little town that I fell in love with. I keep reminding myself that I can always return to Watersound…I can, and I will. I will be posting about that part of the trip a bit later. This post is dedicated to the trip there…with our two dogs, Gill and Cameron.
Traveling with dogs, I imagine, is similar to traveling with kids. Snacks – check; toys – check; medicines – check, potty breaks – check. One big difference in the two… all hotels allow kids, not all hotels allow your furry friends. Thus, my hunt for a "decent" hotel that allowed pets was on.
We knew Nashville, TN was about midway between Ohio and the destination – so that is where I focused my search. I quick search online of "Pet Friendly Hotels Nashville" delivered some good results – the Loews Vanderbilt was one of them. BTW…how did we ever survive without the internet?
The Loews Vanderbilt was the perfect fit for us. Upscale, king bed, good size rooms…and pet friendly. They even offered a "Pumped Up Pets" package that included comfy dog beds, dog dishes, dog dish mats and an amenity bag full of dog food, treats and toys. It also included a meal for both dogs off of the specially designed pet room service menu.
When arriving at the hotel I also noticed that they had water dishes for pets outside the entrance doors to the hotel…a sure sign that this was a hotel that truly caters to pets. My only complaint was the rather small "bathroom" area they provided to walk the dogs. It was outside the main doors, just past the valet service…lots of cars moving about and not a whole lot of grass for them to explore. But, they did provide baggies and a bin. I also did read that a dog park was not too far down the road. We never did make it to the dog park…we were really only there to sleep.
After the pain of unpacking the car, checking in and getting everyone settled in…we realized just how hungry were were. We ordered off of the extensive room service menu…they ordered off of the pet room service menu. Yes, a special pet room service menu – how funny is that?
I was a bit hesitant in feeding them too much that was outside of their normal routine – especially since we were looking at another eight hours of travel in the morning. I decided that this should be more of a snack. We ordered up the Chicken Chow Chow, a mixture of cooked chicken, green beans and carrots. A very well balanced meal for the dogs; I was impressed, and so were they. They are a bit spoiled… I know this.
Despite the fact that Gill was wise awake and pacing around the room at 3:30 in the morning (he apparently does not like hotel rooms) – the experience at the Loews Vanderbilt was pleasant. They provided us with everything you would need to travel comfortably with your pets.
- My Guide to Pet Friendly Travel Resources -
Several hotel chains offer pet friendly locations. Here is a listing of the chains that offer the best selection worldwide. It is best advised to check with each individual hotel for restrictions.
Best Western Hotels - 1800 of their US and Canadian locations welcome pets.
Comfort Inns and Suites – 550 pet friendly locations nationwide.
Extended Stay Hotels – With 680 pet friendly locations, you are sure to find a location that suits your needs.
La Quinta – Over 700 pet friendly hotels from coast to coast.
Residence Inn by Marriot – A great pet friendly choice for you and your pet. We stayed at a Residence Inn in Nashville on the way home from Florida. Because of the full kitchen and separate ground floor access to the room, it ended up being much more "convenient" option than the upscale Loews Vanderbilt. A good choice for anyone traveling with their pet.
Pet friendly travel websites:
PetsWelcome.com – You can search by state through their database of pet friendly chain hotels.
DogFriendly.com – Provides pet travel guides for dogs of all sizes and breeds.
Bring Fido – An excellent resource for pet friendly destinations, pet friendly hotels, pet friendly air travel and pet friendly restaurants in the US. Nice website design as well.
PetTravel.com – When you are flying with your pet, the rules and restrictions can be confusing. Check with PetTravel.com for information on pet friendly airlines, obtaining a pet passport and rules and guidelines for taking your pets into another country.

But Love is a tender habit,
It's a sickness that comes back and forth..
Somehow, it can bring you a love-sick feeling..
I try to forget it, the past, but I can't still leave it..
Nobody knows where we might wake up..
i could never forget your touches
i could never forget our days
as I'm walking down the aisle
tears stream down my face
as i pledge my love, my heart, my soul
my sanity slowly breaks
for the man i chose, the reason i go
is not for love's sake
father gives me away
he kisses my cheek
he tells me "do not cry"
for the man i seek
could not make me be
the happiest as his bride
but be comforted
i could not!
for as long as i could live
my heart chose to stay
where my soul cannot live
as you could never be
the one meant for me
my heart refused to know
it has to let me go.
just as i could not stop
you from leaving
i could not stop
my heart from loving...
no, i didn't sabotage him! i just accidentally screwed his act on purpose!
and now I wonder why I still kept it..
those memories, our past, on the beat..
we were very messy and yet so happy..
it's love, a tender and addicting habit..
Nobody knows where we might wake up..
addicting? it might as well be a drug!
this obsession of you is killing me
molding me into another
until i cannot feel myself
i'm scared of this feeling
it's made my life a mess
it continued to pull me down
till this pain i could not digress
no, i didn't sabotage him! i just accidentally screwed his act on purpose!
if you're feeling that way
come to me, and stay right here
i'll send that pain away
and then you'll realize that... ahh.. that... you're better now. LOL
come I will show you the way,
to make you feel alright,
all I give you is my heart,
so why not let us make a new start?.
am I dreaming that you're on my side?.
you're helping me to put away my problems aside..
how come you didn't showed your face for the past years?.
I thought you were dead as I covered your picture with tears..
Nobody knows where we might wake up..
i'm getting depressed
of poetic lovesick air
let's try something new
like the ocean blue?
or talk about the world
of happiness and fears
(let's just not go into love
it'll bore me to tears)
no, i didn't sabotage him! i just accidentally screwed his act on purpose!
I stood looking at the ocean coming toward me
Thinking Jaws was overrated, this wave is more scary
At that moment I decided no way humans came from the sea
Because I kept wishing I was on land close to a very sturdy tree
Floating there seeing my death looming before my eyes
I was somehow grateful no one was near to witness my demise
The birds and sea creatures had long since fled having seen the signs
I had only myself to blame for being in this situation so I couldn't whine
But man did I want to, I wanted to cry,wail,and rage against the sky
That's the usual reaction when mother nature has a hand in how you die
searching for amusements
i ate a chicken
the chicken laid many eggs
then i made breakfast
Gokigenyou Onee-sama~!
it tasted very bad
worse than an...um...ugly cat?
Roses are red
Violets are blue..
Don't be shy ..... at least if you don't want me to be rebelious
i shot a guy from timboctou
he didnt move so i left a clue
i ran away as soon as i came through
i knew i was going to get sued!
so i went to a country with the swine flu
Gokigenyou Onee-sama~!
I coughed and i sneezed
I wobbled on my knees
I coulnd't believe that this could be
Don't be shy ..... at least if you don't want me to be rebelious
i have gotten to a place
where they couldnt face
an area with such a pace
so i jumped in my car to join a race
Gokigenyou Onee-sama~!
i raced and
i won
Had lots of fun
and the trophey
weighed a ton
Don't be shy ..... at least if you don't want me to be rebelious
i laugh and cryed
my wife was over joyed
to be with such a beauty
was surely cruelty
Gokigenyou Onee-sama~!

Acer buergerianum
The Trident Maple. A very pretty small tree or large shrub known for its small glossy three-lobed (hence 'trident') leaves which are coppery when young and colour up well in autumn but don't usually drop until early winter.
Easy and adaptable in mesic* and woodland conditions.
3L pots ~ £12
Triadica sebifera (aka Sapium sebiferum)
The Chinese Tallow Tree - a warm temperate deciduous tree grown for its waxy fruits which are used for soap and candles, but also as a very attractive garden or street tree. The poplar-like foliage turns rich red in autumn. The flowers are small and yellow and catkin-like. This is probably not a good prospect for UK gardens except in very sheltered urban or mild maritime districts but is a good garden tree elsewhere in Europe.
3L pots ~ £11
Zanthoxylum planispinum
A deciduous large shrub or small tree with glossy aromatic pinnate foliage on spiny stems, greenish yellow flowers and red berries in profusion. Though very ornamental this plant is also grown for the seeds which can be used as a kind of pepper (Sichuan Pepper comes from a related tree). The leaves can also be used in the kitchen for their spicy citrusy flavour. Mesic* or woodland conditions.
Sold out - sorry
*Mesic - a handy ecological term for habitats that are moist but not wet, fairly fertile and not too shady. It describes the preferred growing conditions of many garden plants and is a lot quicker to write than 'moist but freely drained' or 'any retentive soil in sun or semi shade' or 'any reasonable soil'. In nature it corresponds to meadows, woodland clearings, river banks and such-like.

DMK's continuation in ministry in PM's hands: Karunanidhi
May 24, 2004 19:12 IST
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam chief M Karunanidhi on Monday said his party's continuation in the Manmohan Singh ministry would depend on the prime minister's decision on allotting the portfolios promised to the party.
"I will be happy if the mistakes are rectified before that," Karunanidhi said, adding his party's stand would, however, not threaten the stability of the government.
In a statement issued late on Sunday night�Karunanidhi had asked his ministers to not take charge till the portfolios originally promised to the party were allotted.
"Some days ago, certain portfolios were promised for the DMK members of Parliament and a letter to this effect was given to the party by Congress leader Janardhan Reddy.
"But the portfolios announced have gone contrary to the assurances given in the letter," the statement said, adding, "the DMK has therefore decided that its ministers will not assume office till the mistakes are corrected"
On Monday, the DMK chief blamed a "coterie" around Congress president Sonia Gandhi and the prime minister for all that had happened. "It is better to identify the coterie and rectify the mistakes."

Comments about Signature Hardware 72" Alcott Bamboo Double Vessel Sink Vanity:
We love this vanity. It looks absolutely beautiful. Quality cabinet., well made, and love the bamboo look. We got the travertine top with it and it goes perfectly with the bamboo. You will not be disappointed..
Comments about Signature Hardware 72" Alcott Bamboo Double Vessel Sink Vanity:
We selected this vanity for our Master Bath remodel with the bamboo top. Construction is top quality, and the wood top has held up very well - just plan to keep a towel handy to wipe it dry after using. One big issue is the drawer pulls - the soft close mechanism requires a solid tug to open, and the very flat surface of the pulls does not allow a good grip. This is especially true when your hands are wet after washing them. We will be looking for an alternative pull/knob.

Track stars have revealed the secret to developing running speed. Most athletes simply run out of breath long before they need to stop running, because they aren't able to get the oxygen into their muscles fast enough. By taking deep breaths, and building up the supply of oxygen in your blood, you can prevent muscle cramps. As lactic acid builds up, and muscle fatigue sets in, untrained players think they've reached their limit.
Track teams, and well-coached basketball and football teams for that matter, train by sprinting short distances, over and over. It's not fun, but it works. After a few months of training, the lungs begin to process oxygen more efficiently, and players find that they can run long distances non-stop, or sprint for a longer period of time. Alverno College diving may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Wesley Theological Seminary spring sports, you may think about Dakota State University online technical training for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

When it comes to your child's personality do you think it's more nature or nurture?
Quoting Denisethedaring:
Assuming a non-extreme childhood (say, Paris Hilton's or homeless at age 5 in a major metropolitan area) I would say 75% nature, 25% nuture. When childhoods begin to be extreme in terms of either trauma or privilege, nurture begins to have a more dramatic effect.
excellent answer
My oldest adopted daughter is very much like me and the younger is like dad. They are so much like us it's not even funny.
Kids live what they learn.
Quoting rfurlongg:
Both. But nature is VERY powerful.
IMO nature more so than nurture. I recognize distinct `traits' in all the children from the way a few of them sleep to the way my daughter cocks her head when she's deep in thought. I was called `little Dissy' by my mother (and everyone) for as long as I can remember because I so reminded her of my great grandmother -- a woman I'd never even met.
agree with your mom but we are also depends on surroundings
both....I believe they are born with a base personality and whatever that personality is how they cope with what life and nurturing throws at them.
I have a block building personna....I take things as they come and put them into place as needed. Moving me from country to country and school to school made me love meeting new people
My sister has a sensitive doesnt like change personna...moving for her was traumatic and made her more reserved. She needed more petting as a child.
I think it's both. My son for instance, I like to joke around and say he's 90% DH and 5% me (he has my temper, LOL). How much they are alike is eerie almost. But then there are some things he does that I know are learned behaviors, things he's picked up from watching TV or being around other kids and seeing their attitudes.

Winner: Brad Lidge (1-3)
Loser: Greg Maddux (3-4) gave up five runs on nine hits.
Stars: Jeff Bagwell, Jeff Kent and Lance Berkman each hit HRs off Maddux.
Cut to it: The anticipated pitching duel between Maddux and Andy Pettitte never materialized. Maddux failed to last at least six innings for only the second time this season. Pettitte left in the fourth inning with discomfort in his left forearm, and the team said he was day-to-day.

Here's a pretty rad event for Game Of Thrones that we're supremely sad we missed. HBO paid for a collection of die-hard Game Of Thrones fans to drop by the Wooster Street Social Club for free tattoos. They could be inked with one of five sigils from the warring families of Westeros. And they turned out totally awesome!
Hundreds of fans showed up, but only the first fifty were let inside. That is one gorgeous Kraken.
The five sigils available were (starting on the left, going clockwise) the House of Lannister's Lion, a Stag from the House of Baratheon, the Dire Wolf from the House of Stark, the 3-headed Dragon from the House of Targaryen, and the Kraken from the House of Greyjoy.
You can watch a video of one brave soul getting the House of Baratheon crest tattooed on his arm forever over at BuzzFeed.

For mischief-makers and pranksters comes the Hand Stickers By Joseph King. King is a Seattle designer who has taken on this personal art project to fulfill his interest in interactive design.
These stickers are available in a pack of five and feature a pair of hands that appear to be caught on the other side of whatever object you're viewing. One of the suggested photos by King is on the outside of a sewer grate to create the illusion that someone is trapped down there. Other interesting locations may be barred windows or gated/fenced areas—just be sure that the other side is unlit.
The Hand Stickers By Joseph King are sure to have people double-taking upon sight. The kit is certainly a go-to package for pranksters like myself.

Playing with emotionsVisitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Male
Well you see about 4 days ago my best friend's girlfriend started to act funny around me. Now you might say ok so but wait for me to tell you what she was doing you see. she broke up with him about a week and half ago then 2 days later they got back together. but the reason she broke up with in the first place is the girl he was going before her called the one he's missing with now and she told she that he didn't even like her at all and was just using her for sex. And basically he was but she didn't know that.Ok so am going to fast forword to the day she started missing with me. ok so its friday and we are at lunch now before 1st period she was tonching my ass alot i mean smacking it.
So we are at lunch and am eating my fies and she takes one and bites it puts it in my mouth when i wasn't looking because i was playing cards with my niggas. so i do the same thing back to her and she giggles and stuff so I put my hand on her thigh and she sides it up her dress and says how does that feel. And I mean some more stuff happen but am not tring to write a novel. And evenally her boyfriend which is my best friend for 11 years showed up and sat down next to her. So what should I do and does she like me or is he just playing with my emotions and am 16 years old in high school and I have had sex more than 15 times. please help me i need to know
RomanceClass.com Advice
Based on the way you described the situation, I would suggest that she is playing with your emotions. Some girls like to do this and this one seeems to be one of that type. She is probably also trying to get even with your friend of 11 years. My advice is to stay away from her.
Best wishes,
-- from George

Well its coming up the day after Thanksgiving. Who all is going out in the mad rush to go and get the good deals at all the stores at 5 in the morning? I know my mom is going out to fight the crowds and get all the good deals.
Black Friday
Well its coming up the day after Thanksgiving. Who all is going out in the mad rush to go and get the good deals at all the stores at 5 in the morning? I know my mom is going out to fight the crowds and get all the good deals.
BlackFiday YEH. Hopefuly I can set up a webcam in the Walmart again. Boy was it fun watching them fight for the ps3. Esspecialy when the joke was on them it was in shoes instead of the electronic department (yes I know that was mean) Hopefuly if I can I will ask for permission to post the images to imageshack and give you the link.
haha that evil. If you did that you could have sold that to the news companies if you saved it. That would have been an easy way to make some doh
I did it once. I dont think he will let me do it again though. I will try asking.
Well, I guess not, since I'm Canadian and all, but I've seen some crazy videos of Black Friday. Last year, I had no idea what Black Friday was... I saw a video of people crashing the Wal-Mart doors at five in the morning, and it was insane! I mean people were getting pushed over, and trampled just to save a dollar or two. Well, maybe more than that, but I don't know a whole lot about Black Friday.
I heard some kinda rumor that Amazon will be selling the Xbox 360 core system for $100 USD, but I find that very hard to believe.
Well, happy shopping. Keep yer heads up.
I think you are stupid to wake up that early to shop. But then again its something that girls like to do. And if they can save more money just so they can get more then they will do it. And yes it is really crazy if you ask me.
I'm not, I just dont understand, not that I have a problem with it. That before black people were in slavery so were white people, and yet they dont teach that in schools.
But whatever.
Hmmm, so there IS one benefit of not being the US for Thanksgiving! Here in the UK the mad rush tends to come straight after Halloween, so there are more Christmas shopping days in general.
What are you talking about?! Slavery has nothing to do with Black Friday. Black Friday is a day when a lot of stores sell a lot of items fairly cheap in hopes of putting them in the black ink area to show that they have gained a positive amount of expense gain.
I've already looked at these "leaked" Black Friday ads and a lot of them don't really interest me. There's a few good deals here and there but nothing that blew me away. Well, at least the things I wanted.
Well since i'm getting a computer i've been looking at parts. I found a 160 gb hard drive for 20 bucks and a gig of ram for like 85 dollars.
I didnt fully understand what is meant by Black Friday since I watched Da Vinci Code...
That is a fiction book/movie. Fiction meaning not real.
I'm not even planning on buying anything, unless its CD-Rs, since I just ran out, even though I never use them.
What is "black" Friday is in the US is the Friday after Thanksgiving (unoffical start of Christmas shopping rush) and the day's sale supposedly take the retailer accounting out of the "red" ink (loss) and put them into "black" ink (profit) for the year.
lol the mall in my town is oppening rely early 12:01pm. The bad part is theres no good sales. And as for the video Walmart instituted a no recording for any reason (other then anti theft but even then at this store 1/2 the cammeras dont work) So I cant get you that video however I did find this nice web cam. http://www.xanga.com/yoshismadness hes playing the new Wii for a week with only 4 hours asleep + bathroom break.
So what items did people come away with this Black Friday?
I myself bought quite a few DVD for fairly cheap.
$2.99 for Jerry McGuire and Big Fish
$3.88 for Memoirs of a Geisha
$4.99 for Edward Scissorhands, Ong Bak, A Beautiful Mind, Fight Club
I was also able to pick up a 2 Gig Sandisk mini USB flash drive for $30. I was lucky with the flash drive as I just saw it sitting on a washing machine/dryer when I was waiting in line to pay for my stuff around 8 something this morning.
I didnt' get anything but my mom did. Around here they had 3, 1 gbs for like 34.99 or something like that. I think my momn got me a laptop.
It has 60 gb hard drive
512 ram
Intel Celron M
I just got done with my Black Friday shopping. I got a 140 dollar wool coat for like 40 bucks. And like a whole bunch of other stuff.
There are sites online that give you like every single store that's doing Black Friday sales and for how much each thing is going for.
Thats a site where you can find all the black friday ads.
I wasn't in the frenzy, but I managed to get a 1 gb usb drive for $8. I got it from Staples at about 9 am. I thought it would be full but there were only a few people.
Actually, today is Buy Nothing Day
I went shopping... I checked the net a few weeks prior to the big day to find out the best deals and made sure I got what I wanted, which I did.
Any of you know why they call it BLACK FRIDAY.
It's because on this day--- businesses are put back in the BLACK, profit column for the year, supposedly...
Regardless.. whether you like the day or not.. it puts you back in the SPIRIT!
Black friday was great for me, did loads of shopping...
i was in line outside circuit city for over 6 hours and bought a lot of cool stuff. the deals were awesome, especially on electronics such as cameras, camcorders, hard drives and memory sticks....
i bought a cam, flash drives, a hard drive, cordless phone and loads of clothing!
long live the spirit of blackk friday....
I swore not to do it, and I didn't, however, my ma also swore not to do it, and guess who did it? lol, I don't think I could subject myself to that kind of pain... I'd rather spend full price.
My mom actually likes to get out there for the fun of it. Its fun for here i guess. But she can do as she pleases. If thats what she wants to do good for her and me. I then get what i want for a cheaper price so i can still get more
lmao, Americans are stupid...
Your just jelous that you don't have a day where everything is cheap as can be.
Commercial people are pretty tight b***ards in this country . I can't imagine a day where everything is cheap.
I'll have to go cross-border shopping one day on Black Friday so I can snag some super cheap stuff. Boxing Day (the day after Christmas), is when our big sale day is sine retailers want to clear out overstock, though prices aren't as insanely good as in the U.S. Plus, maybe I'll be able to stomp on some feet of those hippe-commie-Buy Nothing Day-activist wimps!

Australian Mossad agent may have leaked secrets report
A SUSPECTED Mossad agent who died in an Israeli jail in 2010 was arrested by his spymasters who believed he may have told Australian intelligence about his work, it was reported today.
The Australian Broadcasting Corp said dual Australian-Israeli citizen Ben Zygier, 34, had met officers from Australia's domestic spy agency ASIO and had given details of a number of Mossad operations.
Quoting undefined sources, the ABC, which broke the initial story about Zygier's secret arrest and death in prison, said on one of his four trips to Australia, Zygier had also applied for a work visa to Italy.
But Mossad became concerned when it discovered Zygier had contact with the Australian spy agency, the ABC reported, adding it was worried he might pass on information about a major operation planned for Italy.
It said Zygier was one of three Australians who changed their names several times and took out new Australian passports for travel in the Middle East and Europe for their work with Mossad.
The closely guarded case has raised questions in Australia and Israel about the suspected use by Mossad of dual Australian-Israeli nationals.
Israeli lawmakers on Sunday announced plans to investigate Zygier's death, which a judge has ruled was suicide. Australia's Foreign Minister, Bob Carr, has initiated an inquiry into his department's handling of the case.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday sought to reduce media attention on the case and said he "absolutely trusts" Israel's security services and what he described as the independent legal monitoring system under which they operated.
Australia's Attorney-General, Mark Dreyfus, who is in charge of ASIO, on Monday said he would not comment on intelligence matters or suggestions ASIO had exposed Zygier's identity.
He also said he saw no need for a review of how the intelligence agencies handled the case.
"I haven't seen any need either, for any such review to take place within the Attorney General's Department," he told reporters.

The recipe for a successful system of public education is community engagement in the schools, emotionally and physically safe schools where students feel they belong, and quality schools that prepare students for 21st century careers and post-secondary education.
Those are the guiding principles of the Alaska Education Plan, created by hundred of Alaskans in November 2008.
We all know that some schools are struggling to achieve student proficiency in reading, writing, and math - the core subjects that are the basis for critical thinking and problem-solving in daily life and on the job. In some schools the percentage of proficient students is in the low double digits. It has been this way for years.
When I travel around the state, whether I am in a village or a city, kids tell me of their dreams for the future. Children rely on adults to help them achieve their dreams. We must not have a lesser vision for children than they have for themselves.
The state has a responsibility to help struggling schools build their capacity to improve student achievement. Our task is to balance local control with state support. Success depends on the ability of the state, schools and communities to work collaboratively.
The Alaska Department of Education & Early Development has developed, and is continually refining, the State System of Support, which is directed by the deputy commissioner. The Legislature has provided funds for increased support. An independent organization gives us feedback from school districts about our interventions.
The State System of Support provides tiers of services to school districts based on their need. All districts have access to training in the best practices of effective schools. Districts that are not making sufficient student progress are provided with coaches, who are experienced Alaska educators, to help them fulfill their improvement plans.
The state intervenes more rigorously and explicitly in districts that have the greatest need. The state strives to intervene to the least degree necessary to set struggling schools on a positive track.
Here are some of the keys to the State System of Support: Schools make sure their curriculum and instruction aligns with the state's academic standards. Principals are instructional leaders. The school district's in-school training opportunities for teachers are focused on the school's needs. Educators look at assessment data, their classroom observations and their own assignments - and they collaboratively decide what each student needs.
Specialists in academic content work directly with teachers, observing them in the classroom, modeling good instructional strategies, providing feedback to teachers on lessons, and ensuring that the state's content standards are taught.
Coaches work with school boards, principals and the superintendent to make sure the right conditions are in place to implement the district's improvement plan, and they coordinate state support. Coaches and mentors work with new principals and teachers.
Intervention also includes developing early childhood learning programs, implementing sound reading programs, and providing parent, community and cultural understanding to educators.
Parents also play a vital role in student achievement. Parents are the primary teachers of children. They are responsible for their children's attendance at school. Among their many roles in a busy day are to send their children to school rested, fed and ready to learn, and monitor homework after the school day ends. More fundamentally, parents communicate to their children a vision of the future that includes success in school and career.
We have no greater responsibility than creating paths for our children to find their places in society as adults, whether it is holding a job, practicing subsistence, or raising a family - and sometimes all three. Schools play a role in this task, as do parents and communities. Our goal is for the parents, schools and communities to work hand in hand. The children must come first.
Larry LeDoux is Alaska Commissioner of Education & Early Development and a former principal in and superintendent of in the Kodiak Island Borough School District.

Wreaths are part of Christmas décor that I can not go past. For me, our Old Lady (our home) is not 'dressed' for Christmas without a wreath…they are everywhere- from the front door right through to the back door. I have them on mirrors, in the boys bedrooms, my studio, walls, doors…..some with lights, some plain and some with small vintage glass baubles….
…but, since I purchased a small glass cloche, like this one, I am beginning to re-think the abundance of wreaths that are strewn through our home. Maybe some stunning statements like the one pictured above, with a branch from our big old tree and some ceramic Marley & Lockyer stars, or a little ceramic house. What do you think?
photo by me
Don't get me wrong though, wreaths will still be throughout the Old Lady, but mainly on our doors (like this one last year) and a few scattered here and there, but I am really re-thinking the interior vignettes. Another display I need to get onto is….
…the Christmas table!
We are having a small Christmas this year with only 6 adults and our 2 boys…a very relaxed affair to what we normally host, so it is going to be the full baked dinner affair and I would really like the table to look nice with such a manageable number. This table by Griege Design is stunning and I love the linens and whites, loads of glass, silver and greenery…off to plan!
