Paula Deen, comic-book star?
A publisher stands behind the struggling celebrity chef as a female icon despite her recent troubles.
Bluewater Productions, which makes a line of celebrity-centric biography comics, said Wednesday that the embattled celebrity chef will still be the subject of "Female Force: Paula Deen," set to release in October.
The company has little choice but to go ahead with the project, as it's been in the works for several months now, but notes that it will include Deen's recent fall from grace.
What fall, you ask? The one that stemmed from a deposition in which Deen admitted to using racial slurs, doubled down on that admission by tacking on an "of course" and expressed a desire to have black waiters serve guests at a wedding "Southern plantation-style."
While her accuser says those admissions were only a portion of Deen's broader abuse of power, they cost Deen her Food Network show and deals with Wal-Mart (WMT), JCPenney (JCP), Target (TGT), Home Depot (HD) and QVC.
Bluewater President Darren G. Davis says his company isn't "jumping on the bandwagon" of dropping Deen and says his company wants to pursue the story of how she changed Southern cooking for women everywhere. Bluewater reached out to Deen for a partnership several months earlier but the 66-year-old chef has not yet responded. The partnership would involve the company donating money to a charity chosen by Deen and running ads for the charity on Deen's behalf. Deen would not receive any money from the books.
"We're moving forward with this 'Female Force' series because she fits in with women like Julia Child and Barbara Walters," David added. "We're not going to flambé her."
No, they're just going to mention her in the same breath as the two figures above, as well as other Bluewater profile subjects including William Shatner and Ellen Degeneres. Typically, Bluewater prints about 1,000 copies to 150,000, Davis said, with the number of books allocated to Deen's run still in question.
While a celebrity chef has dubious superhero qualifications under the best of circumstances, it's tough for a comic producer to abandon a public figure who's been drawing more heat than The Human Torch.
Doubt that Deen "changed Southern cooking for women everywhere" my wife has done some for as long as Paula has...
And her Mom and Grandmas were doing it before Paula Deen was born..
They used a lot of Lard or other greases, butter was for flavoring..
If you didn't have soppin's, it wasn't a meal..
Funny, most of them lived into their 90s or late 80s.
We or nobody, should really care what she said yesterday or 10 years ago for that matter...
Anymore or usually, most of these names are never directed towards an individual..
As far as the wedding, I imagine the guys would have liked the gig, probably paid well.
Seems like I have seen black and white waiters in nicer restaurants...
Were we suppose to have got all cranked up over that, or is that just a Today thing.?

Modernising Dental Education
What is MDE
The Modernising dental education (MDE) Programme is a strategic initiative set-up to manage the review of the Schools' educational provision with the overall aim being to ensure we excel at how we can train dentists and dental care professionals (Hygienists and Therapists). The programme of projects being developed encompasses all aspects of the School's educational activities, including learning, teaching, assessments and clinical training within the School and University Dental Hospital, as well as in community-based clinics and primary dental care educational units. MDE is also focussing on how best to use NHS and School resources to enhance student experience and patient care.
Professor Paul Dummer, Vice-Dean of Learning & Teaching, said:
"This is a fantastic opportunity for people to have their say as to how we should train and produce the dental professionals of the future. We want to ensure we are leading the way in terms of what we teach, how we teach, and the facilities we provide. The aim is to continue delivering the highest quality of patient care and the student educational experience."

Oilers at Flames, G36/08-09
This is Pat Quinn as an Atlanta Flame. I remember him as a player, he was a rugged player, very tough, borderline dirty (and beyond) but a recognized leader. His most famous play was a hit on Bobby Orr that injured #4 over 40 years ago.
I think it's likely that Quinn gets another chance as an NHL coach. His resume is very good and one of the oft-mentioned drawbacks is his inability to work with kids. The WJC is apparently (I've read) a perfect addition to his resume to prove otherwise. I find the logic there to be a mystery but the hiring process for NHL coaches is that and more.
Quinn has many ties to the Edmonton Oilers and the city (played here a long time ago) and as such would have to be on a list of any potential replacements for Craig MacTavish. MacT would probably get a role as a Cardinal with voting-for-Pope privileges, and would perhaps be ideal as a roving minor league instructor with special attention paid to centermen.
The Oilers loss last night was just the latest of many lost opportunities. The Sens look dead in the water everywhere but E-town and in fact had the Oilers put in 60 minutes work the result would have gone the other way.
Hemsky and Poo are out, Brule is in. The nature of this team is that they'll play a stronger game against a superior opponent tonight and fall short again. Many of us will say "if they'd played like that last night the Oilers would have gained 2 points this week" and in a season we know could swing on exactly two points it is beyond galling.
It feels like Groundhog Day, each morning the radio turns over to "I got you Babe" by Sonny & Cher. It's getting to the point where someone needs to throw the toaster into the bath tub.

During a one-on-one phone interview with Ring Posts to promote WWE's latest DVD release "History of WWE: 50 Years of Sports Entertainment" (which comes out Nov. 19), former WWE legend and current brand ambassador Jimmy Hart, who is personal friends with Hulk Hogan and has worked with him on several business projects, weighed in on the rumors circulating that Hulk Hogan may once again appear in WWE:
"Hogan knew I was doing this press tour with WWE promoting the DVD," Hart said from Mobile, Ala., on Wednesday. "He told me to say exactly this: Hulk Hogan will be at WrestleMania if he has to buy a ticket and sit at ringside.
"I think he can step into the ring one more time. We have a school in Florida, and he stepped into the ring there and did some stuff, and he looked great. As his friend, I'd be the first one to say, 'Listen Hulk, do us a favor, just go out to the ring to Real American, say OK Brother, rip the shirt, do the pose, sign a bunch of autographs and people will still be just as happy,' ... but he does have a couple of good matches left in him, he really does. I've got my fingers crossed we see something at WrestleMania."

When asked about an opponent for hogan, Hart pointed directly at one name -- the face of WWE.
"At Hogan's Beach a couple months ago we had a Q&A, and I asked the audience, who would everyone like to see Hogan face in WWE, and the answer overwhelmingly was John Cena. I think that would be a great match. John Cena is so classy, this kid is so good. I would like to manage him, but he doesn't need a manager. He reminds me so much of Hulk in a lot of different ways."
In a past interview with the now-defunct Aftermath Radio, Hulk Hogan told the program that he had originally been slated to return to WWE for another match at WrestleMania 25 against John Cena, but his lingering back injury and the apparatus used to try and alleviate his pain not working as hoped prevented him from participating.
A full review of the "History of WWE: 50 Years of Sports Entertainment" DVD, along with more comments from Jimmy Hart, will be coming to Ring Posts in the near future.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
I made the original tam to sell in my Etsy shop. After it had sold, a customer asked me to pubish the pattern...but the yarn (Lion Suede)had already been discontinued. I made several tams out of different yarns, seeking a yarn that would create a comparable tam. None was quite similar to the thickness and drape of the Suede; but Red Heart Treasure seemed the closest to the original. If you have some Lion Suede in your stash, you might like to try it in this pattern (one ball of each color should suffice)! I will post projects of each yarn I tried here on Craftsy so that you can compare the look of different yarns in this pattern. This tam combines alternate rows of two colors of shells on the top, has a solid colored body and sports a two-color corrugated rib at the opening. The 9-page pattern contains written instructions for making the tam, tips and photos, and a photo tutorial on working the corrugated rib, and grafting the beginning and end of the rib together for a seamless effect. Also included are ideas on ways to wear the tam, and alternate yarn choices. Note that, the ideal yarn for this project will be a worsted that is on the thick side, perhaps even between worsted and chunky.
14 sts and 18 rows = 4 inches in sc with size I hoook
300 yards of Worsted weight
I was taught the basics of knitting, crochet, embroidery, and sewing by my grandmother when I was young. I have found that I enjoy doing a variety of fiber related crafts, and have over the years learned to spin yarn, weave, tat, braid, felt and bead. But the greatest satisfaction for me comes from using my God-given creativity to create my own designs and techniques.

MOLINE -- The musical trip down memory lane Saturday night at the i wireless Center was not a leisurely stroll by any means.
The return of the Midwest Rock 'n' Roll Express -- with Detroit's Ted Nugent, Champaign's REO Speedwagon, and Chicago's Styx -- was a deafening, pedal-to-the-metal thrill ride.
All three main acts (whether intentional or not) exuded a boastful, heartland pride, flag-waving patriotism, a seemingly honest love of performing, and an inspiration to the 8,000-plus boisterous fans to persevere no matter the odds or the circumstances.
In the land of the free and the home of the brave, by God, anything is possible. In Mr. Nugent's jingoistic, profane comments to the crowd in particular, he evoked the recent triumph over tragedy in Boston as evidence of America's greatness and iron resolve.
After a three-song acoustic set by 97X contest winner Doug Brundies of Davenport, strong in growly vocals and bluesy flavor, the 64-year-old Mr. Nugent and his band stormed the stage and suitably whipped the audience into a frenzy with his 50-minute defiant, powerful set.
Compared to the other two bands, Mr. Nugent and his frequent vocalist Derek St. Holmes provided an ear-splitting experience, pummeling us into aural submission, and the screaming guitars and vocals fairly drowned out any hope of making out lyrics. But I"m sure the fans of the Motor City Madman didn't need any help.
The searing, shattering performance was full of American heart and soul. He paid passing tribute to his Detroit roots by surprisingly pulling out snippets of some Motown gems, "My Girl," and "Johnny B. Goode."
With his swaggering bravado, unapologetic ego, and goal to make every show his best, Mr. Nugent had everyone singing along to his big hit, "Cat Scratch Fever," and made a heartfelt plea for all of us to help our neighbor in these confusing times.
Near his close, the band gave "Stranglehold" an appropriately hot, seething rendition -- like most Mr. Nugent's numbers, it was insistent and primal, and provided an emotional end-of-the-week release we all needed.
The more radio-friendly REO and Styx proved they can deliver poignant, soaring ballads and brutal, gut-wrenching rockers with equal force and conviction.
At 61, REO lead singer Kevin Cronin hasn't seemed to slow down, and his voice appeared even higher than I remember. Both Styx and REO got the eager audience to easily sing along with their copious (but far from mellow) hits -- in REO's case, including "Take It On the Run," "I Can't Fight This Feeling," "Time for Me to Fly," "Roll With the Changes," and "Keep on Lovin' You" as the a first encore, with Mr. Cronin's powerful piano.
REO unfurled its patriotic fervor with the band's salute to America in "Golden Country," before which Mr. Cronin praised the glories of freedom and the resilience and faith of ordinaryAmericans. A panoply of iconic American images showed on the large video screen during the song, artfully used by all throughout the night.
Mr. Cronin recalled the band's early days playing bars in Champaign, and brought back their hard rock of "Nobody Makes Me Feel Like You Do." While many of the band members sported gray hair, that can't take away their fire inside and ability to cut loose with the passion and energy of musicians 40 years younger.
REO closed with another call for everyone to keep on trying, working and get through tough times by helping each other. "Riding the Storm Out" was a full-throated anthem of hope and perseverance, with extra relevance in our country today. The boys of REO and Styx all looked like they were having a blast, and the shirtless (at the bows) drummer Bryan Hitt hurled some of his sticks into the crowd.
In an efficient show Saturday, where the wait between acts didn't seem long at all, Styx offered a typically powerhouse production to cap an amazing hour hours of music. They shot storms of confetti over the floor crowd at the start and finish to give the evening and especially fun atmosphere. And lead vocalists Tommy Shaw, Lawrence Gowan and James Young took turns at front roaring through a deep, quality catalog.
With the playful spirit and drive of Mr. Gowan (lead singer since 1999), I don't think anyone missed original Styx singer Dennis DeYoung in the classics "Lady," "Come Sail Away" and "The Grand Illusion."
He sports an equally high, piercing, and theatrical singing voice, and a delightful highlight Saturday was a string of goofy covers of several non-Styx hits -- starting with him tearing into the rich piano ending progression of "Layla," through a call-and-response with the crowd on "You Can't Always Get What You Want," "Sweet Dreams are Made of This," "Fat Bottomed Girls" and "Another Brick in the Wall."
I think he truly was trying to stump us, but we being experts on retro rock -- the audience strongly came through each time, and Mr. Gowan loved us for it. "I'm bathing in the milk of classic rock," he exclaimed, and then joyfully led us in the swaying sing-along of "Come Sail Away," which starts as an aching ode to the sea, and of course rocks out blissfully and blisteringly.
The accompanying images of space seemed to embody the band's scope of ambition and artistry -- as limitless as the universe.
Mr. Shaw, 59, was also in impish and partying mode Saturday, as he wistfully recalled the days of vinyl, and album-oriented radio (extinct today), and he treated us to a dramatic, hard-edged cut from side 2 of "Grand Illusion," "Man in the Wilderness."
Mr. Young celebrated the recent legalization of marijuana in a couple states by performing a Styx rarity, 1975's "Light Up," which also echoed the Saturday sentiment -- "let's be happy; sweet, sweet sounds fill the air." Mr. Young also led Styx's flag-waving entry in "Miss America," with its heavy-metal flair, accompanied by red, white and blue video images, including the Statue of Liberty and dancing girls.
Styx couldn't get everything into its 70-minute set, but the biggest and best fit snugly -- including "Fooling Yourself," "Too Much Time on My Hands," "Blue Collar Man," and the big, lethal closer (with the Styx trademark of starting soft) "Renegade." An exhilarating, awesome end to a tremendously satisfying night.

Two boaters were rescued Monday afternoon in waters off Key West.
The Coast Guard received a report from two men aboard the Blue Reaction that their vessel was taking on water. Search units were immediately dispatched to the area near Marquesas. The boat crew arrived to find the two men in the water, but afloat thanks to their lifejackets.
"Wearing your life jacket and equipping your vessel with a VHF radio and Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon greatly improves your chances for survival during emergencies on the water," said Lt. Ricky Brooks, command duty officer at Coast Guard Sector Key West.
There were no reports of injuries.
Its unclear why the boat capsized. Commercial salvage was contacted to recover the overturned vessel.

My reservation said I would have a queen bed. It was a full. The sheets were a wrinkled mess and the white duvet cover was literally covered with what I hope was lint. The off white headboard was stained yellow and the wallpaper was coming off the walls.

Location, very central. Staff very helpful. Coffee in am in foyer.
Hotel, atmosphere and location are great
Room was outdated and mattress was horribly worn making it difficult to sleep
Location, some staff.
Internet cost per device. (a kind staff provided us complimentary access)
Pretty big bathroom for the age of the hotel. Friendly service at check-in, nice bar staff. Valet service was super fast and friendly.
Ambulances going back and forth to the nearby hospital in the night. I heard several.
I amde this reservation for my daughter - it was her birthday and she lives in Grand Rapids and wanted to celebrate it in Chicago. Shannon was extrememly helpful in helping me make sure everything was set for my daughters trip. She sent me several e-mails assuring me that everything was set and copies of receipts etc. She even gave me a name to contact in the event there were any issues and she was not there. Her suctomer service was awesome and should be recognized!!!
There was a spider in the room. Pretty big guy. Yikes!
Location was good - right in the middle of the Magnificent Mile.
No breakfast included in the room price, unlike the majority of other places we stayed during our trip to the US. No wifi in the room. Room was very small and windows wouldn't open.
We loved everything about the hotel and location and friendly staff.
Just the shock of no parking and spending 60.00 a day to park.
A beautifully maintained hotel with quite friendly and helpful staff (including the bell captains ) . Perfect location if you are with family or would love to go shopping while in the city.
Very good location on Michigan Avenue and Huron. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good lounge bar.
Room was a little dark due to windows looking onto the alley way and the air conditioning was a little noisy.
Great price for a central location.
The family rooms are small but the major problem is the noise coming from outside (air co machines). It seems all family rooms fave that side of the building.
The check in process was quick and the staff was polite. We had a free upgrade to a King Suite and it was perfect. It was spacious, clean and the bed was comfortable, we had a good night sleep. As soon as we request for new towels, they got it done right away.
The elevators were very small, crowded and could smell musty. They could also have more elevators to decrease waiting time. We were in the 24th floor and waited for a while for an elevator.
The location
The bed was tiny, the bedroom, was tiny, and the bathroom was tiny. Even compared to Europe, this hotel is miniscule and it feels like you're sleeping in a box. The parking is in the basement, the lobby on the first floor, and it's easy getting lost just to check in. For nearly $200 per night, we won't be coming back.

My 2009 Discretionary Spending: Bits and Pieces
Published on - January 12th, 2010 (by J.D. Roth)
Every January since I started Get Rich Slowly, I've done an annual round-up of my discretionary spending. That's not going to happen this year. The numbers are hopelessly muddled by events that created under-reporting in some categories and over-reporting in others. (Kris and I paid for our 2010 vacations in 2009, for example.)
Rather than sort things out, I want to talk about a couple of my spending habits instead. One is a worrisome trend, and one is a thing I'm doing right.
Food for thought
Long-time readers know that Kris and I love to dine out. It's one of those things we're willing to spend on. We cut corners in other areas of our lives so that we can afford to make this happen. Still, I've been concerned about my restaurant spending for the past couple of years. It seems a tad excessive.
How'd I do last year? Well, my grocery spending dropped, but my restaurant spending went up again — a lot. Here's a look at five years of data:
- In 2005, we spent $1423.39 to dine out 100 times, for an average cost of $14.23 per meal.
- In 2006, we spent $1869.58 to dine out 108 times, for an average cost of $17.31 per meal.
- In 2007, we spent $2051.93 to dine out 84 times, for an average cost of $24.43 per meal.
- In 2008, we spent $2628.08 to dine out 77 times, for an average cost of $34.14 per meal.
- In 2009, we spent $3443.61 to dine out 69 times, for an average cost of $49.91 per meal.
Holy cats! Will you look at those numbers? We're only dining out about
half two-thirds as often as we were in 2006, but we're spending nearly three times as much per meal. At the current rate of spending growth, we'll be spending $300 per meal in 2015! Since I can afford our current spending — I'm not living beyond my means — the real question is: Am I getting my money's worth? I'm not sure that I am.
If I'm honest, I have to admit that I don't like the idea that we're paying $50 per meal. I'd much rather return to our former habit: Dining out more often, but spending less each time. To that end, I've been brainstorming ways we can work to cut costs:
- We could do a better job of looking for discounts. We have an Entertainment book, and the local paper often features specials at local restaurants. We should take advantage of both of these. We used to do this, but have fallen out of the habit (primarily because we've become so used to eating at the same places again and again).
- We need to find more cheap places to eat. Half the fun of going out is just going out. Sure, we love the fancy restaurants, but we used to be happy with Dairy Queen. (This is lifestyle inflation in action!) The real problem is that the cheap places I know and love (Cha Cha Cha and Imperial Garden) aren't Kris' favorites. We need to find cheap places we both like.
- When we do eat in the same old haunts, we need to make an effort to reduce our spending. It's okay to have an appetizer, entree, dessert, and drink all in the same meal now and then, but we could save money by cutting one or two of these from the mix each time we dine out.
- Finally, we should invite friends to our home for dinner more often. As soon as the book is done (getting close!), I'm going to make a habit of inviting one family to dine with us every couple of weeks. We used to do this a lot, but have fallen out of the habit. It's fun and frugal to have folks over for dinner.
So, that's one part of my financial life that still needs work. Next, let's look at something I'm doing right.
A waning of want
Here's something that amazes me: We're twelve days into 2010 and I haven't spent anything yet on personal expenses. I haven't even felt the urge. I've bought gas for the Mini and groceries for home, and Kris and I went out to lunch last Friday, but I haven't spent a dime on gadgets or books or games or toys or magazines.
"Big deal," you might say. "That's how it should be." You're right. But for me, this is a big deal. All my life, I've had the uncontrollable urge to buy Stuff. It used to be that I couldn't go more than a day or two without buying something. Even while writing this blog, that's been the case. (I've just learned to channel my desires into smaller, cheaper things.) Now, as last, I seem to have licked it.
I still want things — no question! — but I've become very good at ignoring the wants and moving on. How?
- Sometimes, I just put down the thing I want, turn off my brain, and walk away. I force myself to stop thinking about it. (Usually by thinking about something else — like our upcoming trip to Europe, and how I need to save for that instead.)
- If I still want the thing when I get home, I put it on my Amazon wish-list. For whatever reason, that's often enough to satisfy the strange inner workings of my mind. I feel comforted knowing I've let myself put it on a list where I won't forget it.
- I'm very good about using the 30-day rule to control my impulse spending. My Amazon wish-list plays a role in that, but so does my mountain of index cards. (My life wouldn't be complete without index cards.) I have a handful of cards on my desk filled with notes about the things I want. It's amazing how many times I sort through this stack and end up throwing cards away because I no longer want the item I've written down.
These techniques help me deal with desire. They don't quell it completely — nor would I want them to — but they do keep it in check. That last rule is probably the most effective. By delaying purchases 30 days, I don't feel like I'm denying myself. I can still buy what I want if I want it 30 days later, but I'm not just giving in to impulse spending. (When 30 days rolls around and I do still want something, it actually feels pretty good to be able to buy it.)
My current spending moratorium isn't permanent, and I know that. In fact, the new Dick Tracy anthology comes out tomorrow, so if nothing else, I'll be shelling over $25 for that.
Remember: there's nothing inherently wrong with spending money on things that bring you joy. Problems arise when you finance these purchases with debt. If you're meeting your other financial goals and have money left over, it's good to indulge your interests and passions. Just make sure you're getting value for the dollars you spend.
Here are the past installments in this series:

How did you do on your spending goals last year? Are there areas where you wish you spent less? If so, what strategies do you use to keep yourself in check?
If you make it downtown Portland at about 3:30 pm on Sundays (opens at 4pm but there's a line) you can catch Portland City Grill's happy hour. It lasts all day, the food and prices are very good ($2-4 per item, two items is usually plenty).
Brazil Grill on 12th and Jefferson is pretty good, not exactly inexpensive ($25/person, all you can eat) but the food is good and it's better than $50/person.
Le Bistro Montage (Cajun) under the Morrison bridge has reasonably priced entrees and is always good but doesn't open until 6pm and is usually pretty full.
If you like Vietnamese, you can try Pho Dalat near Sandy blvd and I-205, Pho's a great meal and usually runs about $6-7 for a big bowl of Pho Dac Biet.
I haven't been there but I've heard that Screen Door (Southern) is really good, entrees range from about $10-15. 24th and E. Burnside.
Anyway, there are tons of places in Portland to get great food at reasonable prices and I believe you have my email address if you need more places (variety, lower prices, etc.) to eat. You can also use restaurant.com for discounted meals and they frequently have coupon codes for %80 off the normal discounted gift certificates.
Yikes! $3500 on dining out, I can imaging why you're taking a good long look at your habit.
The dining out number reminds me of an ex-girlfriend and I who went out to eat all the time. It just always seemed easier than staying at home. What advice would you have for those still in the singles world who are out going on dates? I don't want to seem cheap on a first, second, or third date, but I also don't want to flash around a lot of cash and break the bank trying to impress someone!
I definitely think quality over price when it comes to food. My hubby is a chef, though so that makes a difference! I know that I enjoy going out more when it's a nicer meal. That's why we've decided to skip the little fast food and Chili's-type restaurants and go for the nicer ones less often!
Remember that the cost of food has also risen a lot faster than inflation in that time. Your spending may not be as different as you think.
"Just make sure you're getting value for the dollars you spend."
When it comes to food, the value should be both judged by price AND whether or not the food is made using some sort of industrial waste. Or, less hyperbolically, be sure that you aren't saving money by eating hotdogs when you go out:) IF I do get the desire to eat out, Subway's $5 footlongs are the way to go. I can load that sucker up with tons of stuff (vegetables and such), and save half for later.
Come to think of it, I am pretty hungry right now. To the oatmeal!
http://www.restaurant.com is a good way to save money. I don't know how many restaurants they have near you, but the selection near Minneapolis is great. $10 gets you $25 off a $35 tab, and they ALWAYS have 70-80% off coupons. $2 for a $25 coupon is great. Don't ever pay full price there.
Hello J.D.
As in most cases, the single data point of price paid per meal may not tell the entire picture. Perhaps some tracking for 2010 about the details of your restaurant purchases would be insightful.
For example, cost and quantity of appetizers, drinks and desserts.
Another item to consider is the amount and percentage of the bill you pay for service ("tip"). If you've received exceptional service (perhaps partly as a consequence of desperation on servers' and restaurants' parts) that would probably lead to increased tipping.
Were there one or two big nights out at a wildly expensive place that caused the average meal cost to skyrocket?
Lastly, Mrs. Money's comment about seeking quality over price is certainly poignant – there is a very high price for cheap food. A one dollar fast food burger is cheap in end-user's immediate out-of-pocket dollars, but astronomically high in total cost.
Thanks for reading.
Yes, the turning off my brain thing has done wonders! When we wander around the mall I typically see a bunch of STUFF I want, but do not need. I shut down my brain for awhile. Often times, I will forget about it by the time I get home. However, I may give that amazon wish list a try. Because some of those things you want but dont need, may make good xmas gift suggestions for other people.
Theres nothing cooler then getting a gift from someone you always never knew you wanted, or forgotten about. Cause lets face it, some of us as frugal enough not to have balls enough to buy it ourselves. lol

Eating out is our weakness too; when I was growing up, it was about a once a year occurence for my parents to take all of us (5 kids) out to dinner.
Any chance we'll get an end of year garden wrap up? Those are always my favorite posts!
Regarding eating out, when my husband and I go out, we always drink water with lemon. Not only are we saving $5 (plus tax, plus tip), but it's healthier for us. If we want dessert, I'll make something or stop by the local bakery which is a LOT cheaper than ordering there in the restaurant. We also try to look at the portions of our order.. if we can save some for another meal, we've just reduced the cost per meal. We try not to eat out more than 3 times per month for health reasons, the benefit.. it costs us less too.
I'm firmly in the "quality over quantity" camp. I enjoy eating out, but since I'm a decent cook I prefer to eat at places whose cuisine I can't easily replicate myself, like Ethiopian food or sushi (I can't make sushi nearly as good as my favorite haunt). As a result, the places I go to tend to be more expensive per outing. Plus, I'm very aware of the hidden costs of "cheap" food, and chain restaurants just plain depress me. Eat less, but eat better is my motto.
Sorry to be a stickler for details, but 69/108 (0.638) is a lot closer to 2/3 than 1/2.
Also, I am almost of the opposite mindset, I'd rather eat out less often, but get a quality meal (steak, for example). My girlfriend and I typically eat out less than 4 times a month (maybe one meal in a weekend).
I was raised that dining out was an occasional treat (maybe four times a year, excluding celebrations/events), so we should enjoy the experience, but not do it so often that it becomes routine.
Also, think about your health. Moving back to eating out more but for less per meal is fine but not if you are trading healthy food for fast food. Think about the associated healthcare and other costs by doing so.
I agree with 2.Deadala, prices have risen up.
However, what might work is ordering say one soup and one meal. Typically, portions in restaurants are way oversized, so your stomach is full and you spend less. Priceless is the effect on the level of intimacy between you and your partner after switching meals.
We're right there with you on the eating out situation. For us, eating out IS our entertainment many times, and we really enjoy a great meal out either as a family or just the two of us.
I've never thought of analyzing our expenditures in this area the way that you have here, but I have all of the information to do so. It sounds like a fun (but scary) exercise!
My husband and I like to save money when going out to eat by using Restaurant.com gift certificates. The idea is that you spend, for example, $10 on a gift certificate worth $25, saving you about $15. They are available for most major cities, at both local and chain restaurants, and are a great way to save a few dollars while still enjoying a nice meal out. You just have to watch out for the restrictions, such as spending minimums or exclusions on weekends. They also have sales sometimes on the website when you can get the certificates for even cheaper.
We usually average about $130 for our restaurant meals plus $50 for babysitting (unless my Mom is visiting).
That said, we rarely eat out.
Great idea Andrea – to which I'll add that local radio and tv stations often offer half price gift certificates to restaurants (and other merchants). Check their web sites and see what's out there, you will be pleasantly surprised. We get our favorite deep dish pizza this way for 1/2 price!
Food spending is the only real spending problem that my husband and I have. We enjoy it, but dining out shouldn't be a hobby for us. We always thought we knew what we were spending, but we were wrong. We were spending so much more. I had vowed to keep track of our spending starting this month and going back and looking at the last couple of months was a real eye opener. I just wish I'd started earlier so we could have saved hundreds of dollars!
I find it very difficult to control my weight if I eat out. I eat out about 4 times a year and when I do, I don't really worry about what I am eating.
Plus, since I am really cheap, I refuse to pay for salad, soup or breakfast items at a restaurant. I can make them at home for less and they taste just as good.
J.D., we have the same problem in my home. We'd have so much more money if we didn't eat out. We also went out less in 2009 than previously, but our average meal went up in cost quite a bit. We spent almost $5,500 for two people to eat out 105 times.
Budget an amount you feel comfortable about. Check on yourself after 3 months. No worry if your under. You can adjust price or number of times on the next 3 months if your over. It's not just a selfish act. You are supporting a business you like and the people they support.
As far as good cheap places to eat, have you tried No Fish Go Fish? Right next to the corner of SE 39th and Hawthorne (3962 Southeast Hawthorne). Their soups are amazing.
Regarding the Tangent. I live in the Hawthorne neighborhood and love keeping a list of places I think are good values to eat.
Nicolas on Grand (share the mezza)
Riyadh's at Hawthorne & 14th
Reel'm'Inn (dive bar on Division with cheap fried chicken)
La Sirenita taqueria on Alberta
Thai Noon on Alberta
Zack's Shack
Por Que No
Pho (any of them, but I like Pho Van)
Clay's BBQ on Division
That's the cheap end of the list. I have a more expensive end of the list that I feel is good value even if they do cost more. Feel free to contact me if you want to compare notes.
Hey J.D.
I'm really impressed at how well you're keeping track of your expenses and comparing them to your budget. I used to think that I was good until I started reading your blog!
I was just wondering how you keep track of how many times you eat out in a given year? I could easily tell you how much I spent last year on eating out ($5,084 in 2009) but I wouldn't be able to tell you what meals of the day they were or even how many meals that amount consisted of.
Daedala is right, the cost of food rose incredibly – milk was $2/gall in 2005, and now it's $3.50. Do you have another mouth to feed? You might be doing just fine.
BUT I am VERY impressed that you have so much data! I am going to start this – I began it w/ groceries. While he's great at all other areas of budgeting, to him food is a necessity and thus a budget is entirely unnecessary. He doesn't buy crackers and cookies and soda, but will go to the store w/ out a menu/meal plan. Thus I began to track it. He'll come around, he always does, he just needs to see the data!
I'm right there with Four Pillars (above) on this one. Ever since the little one arrived, we've been eating out less often. It rarely makes sense when you factor in the higher cost of the food AND the babysitter. Plus, the better half makes great meals… although sometimes she needs a break!
First off, thanks for this phenom blog. I've been reading it for about a year now, and while much of the advice I already knew, there are still some great insights and some "light bulbs" that go off.
I would concur with a lot of the folks here… it's a quality vs quantity item. If you wanted to drop your avg eating out cost, you could easily hit up the McD's, BK, or Wendy's one dollar menus and skew it way down… but you likely wouldn't enjoy eating out, and would likely raise your long term medical costs as well. Nothing wrong with splurging for good food if you can afford it, and if it doesn't become common place. But I'm a foodie, so I'm definitely slanted in my views.
If you do want to find the best value for you money, I'd recommend checking out the website "Yelp". Users review services/restaurants and can create lists to share with the community. Typically, for larger cities, the users will put up lists of either cheap eats that are worth the bang for your buck, or even specials on each day! In Chicago, people have created lists for specials of each day (e.g. Monday night specials results include low priced wings, a French prix fixe 3 course for $30 that's BYOB, etc.) Excellent resource for finding good restaurant experiences, but also specific price ranges for those experiences.
Have you considered setting a monthly budget for dining out? You've mentioned in the past that you generally don't like to do "line item" budgeting, but perhaps this is one area where you can make an exception. If you have a set amount to spend every month, you are more likely to want to get your money's worth when you do go out. And if you spend your entire budget before the end of the month, you have extra incentive to invite friend over instead of going out. Also, by limiting what you spend now, you have more to spend dining out on your vacations.
Just a thought …
Interesting analysis, J.D.!
We've decided to go in the opposite direction as you….eat out less often, though at better(more expensive) places. I find I don't mind spending $100-$150 for a nice dinner out but spending $40-$50 for poorly prepared packaged food from one of the big box restaurants makes me crazy. We had to feed my daughter and a friend in between soccer practices last weekend (no time to get home) and ended up at a chain restaurant eating bad/soggy BLTs and anemic salads…total after tip: $48. Ugh.
I'm curious — is hosting people at home really that much cheaper? I've found that as a single person, even making a dish for a potluck can cost as much (or more!) as I would spend in a restaurant (I order water, skip appetizers, take half my meal home, and split a dessert with someone or order a mini). It's expensive for me to host other families and couples at my place, so I don't do it very often!
I've learned that while it seems like a splurge to eat out with my friends, it can be a cost-effective form of entertainment
Anyone else find this?
You dined out only 69 times in 2009? Where do you find the discipline? That's only once in every 5 days – not even one lunch and one dinner out a week! I truly don't know how to get my spending on food so low. My grocery budget alone is $300 per month (including all toiletries, makeup, cleaning products, etc.). I spend an additional $250 just on restaurants, drinks, etc. And that's for one person.
I'd rather pay $70 for a good steak dinner than go to a fast food joint 6-8 times.
I consider myself a foodie, and I can cook better than most chain establishment. So, when I go out, I also order things I can't/don't make. Dim sum and sushi are two examples where it takes lots of expertise and labor to make it great.
JD, I think you have the eating out thing all wrong.
My wife and I were in a similar situation and this is what we have done…
We eat out less often but we go to really great restaurants when we do.
No fast food, No cheap buffets, its junk anyway. We do order the occasional pizza but we don't count that.
We don't eat out for convenience.
We go out for dinner, breakfast, or lunch because we want to try an awesome new place, go to a really nice restaurant, or visit an old favorite.
You will get your moneys worth this way for sure. Better food and better experience.
We often use the dinners as date nights and get all dressed up as well. My wife really likes that.
Given that you're spending money you can afford to spend I think you're doing fine from a *financial* perspective. But going back to how much something costs in terms of *your* time, you might re-evaluate the amount of joy or pleasure you get from these excursions. If you get a lot more pleasure from the nice restaurants, I don't see why you have to start eating at cheap restaurants. If the main value you derive from these outings is the time you spend together, well, there may be less expensive ways to spend the time, and you might have fun trying to research and dig them up (i.e., hunting for hidden gems, fabulous new places, places that aren't too expensive but where you can get dressed up – OR, consider signing up for a gourmet cooking class together, etc.). As long as you're having a great time (within your means), I'd say, cut yourself some slack.
What Bradly said. Also, if you eat out less, it will be easier to reach your fitness and weight loss goals This is my opinion, bu frequent eating out and weight management don't work well together. It's doable, but much more difficult than if you eat in most of the time.
I highly agree with inviting friends over! People always use going out for dinner as the only way to get together and with everyone's wallets tightening people would WELCOME being invited over for a meal! Why should it cost $50-100 per couple just to spend time with friends?
I find it very interesting that you calculate how many times you went out to eat in the year to get avg. price per meal. I used to just say, holy smokes $5k a year on restaurants! I will definitely be playing with mint.com today to figure it out. Thanks for sharing!
Try the big name chains…my wife and I eat at Chili's, Applebees, O'Charleys, etc and with their specials we can easily keep our tab around $25-30…though we usually get water to drink:)
We also have locals that we enjoy…plus sometimes we'll do Pizza or something quicker like Quizno's or Penn Station.
Looks like we have differing opinions on restaurants! I'd much rather go out 3-5 times a year and spend $75-$100 on a dinner for two than go out once a week and spend $10 on cheap food.
I love the Amazon Wish List idea, and I do it too! I'm certain that 'fear of forgetting' plays a major part in my wants. I think something is cool, so I want it now, so I don't forget about something so cool later on. By putting my wants in my Amazon Wish List, I know they are there for me if I actually do want them.
As someone who often has friends over for dinner, a word of warning – depending on what you're making (especially if you want to make something special), it's definitely not necessarily cheaper to cook for others in your home. On the one hand, it is typically cheaper to prepare a dish yourself, but keep in mind that you're doubling (or more) the number of portions involved, and you may also need to purchase foods in sizes larger than those required for the dish itself (like spices, packages of herbs, etc.) — and you have to be very conscious of using those things up later! This isn't to dissuade you – I LOVE cooking for friends and still do it often – but I don't necessarily think of it as a "cheap" alternative to eating out. One alternative is to invite friends who will invite you back for the most part, so you're getting a "free" meal out of it another time. Another is to ask your invitee to bring the wine or another portion of the meal. Of course, this depends on how good a friend they are. (I only ask for wine/salad/bread/dessert/etc. if the friend asks if they can bring something, but most of my friends do this.)
"We need to find more cheap places to eat. Half the fun of going out is just going out." – I disagree with this statement. To me the best part of going out is enjoying a great meal in a nice setting. My husband and I had a buy 1 get 1 free coupon for Ruby Tuesdays. I'd read in the NY Times where they were changing their menu and it was more upscale so I decided to give it a try. The food wasn't bad – although the meat, as usual in places like this was overcooked. But the problem was it was in a mall, there were a bunch of kids (little kids w/ parents and unsupervised teens) there, the customers were the type who don't check their coats and the service wasn't the kind I was accustomed too. Overall I had a terrible dining experience although I was fed fairly well for cheap (less than $25).
But I'm not doing that again. The experience was just awful and the food wasn't that good (although it probably was the best part of the evening). I'd rather pay $50-$100 for a great meal in a nice atmosphere where I'm waited on hand and foot.
Sure we eat at places like Moe's, Chipotle, and other quick eat places, but for a good meal I'm not hitting chain restaurants. I'll pay more for a better dining experience and I'd rather patronize my local restaurants who place an emphasis on atmosphere and service as well as good food.
I had a slight freakout when looking at my restaurant spending at year end. Mint.com's time-based graphs by category are really cool. Our restaurant spending was high and all over the board. Then, I viewed it as the broader category of "food & dining" and realized it was probably our most consistent category. When groceries go up, dining out goes down. Context is important, too, and groceries aren't free, either.
Just skimmed comments so don't know how many have mentioned these points:
- if you drink alcohol (I do) BYOB!!!!! Learn a little about wine(Wine for Dummies was helpful to me) and find a good wine shop. If you know a little you can get drinkable stuff for $10 a bottle.
- If you go to a place with a bar, get water. Have a cocktail at home before you go out.
- Try places that don't have servers.
_ Splurge on a special appetizer. Your taste buds are freshest at the beginning of the meal.
-restaurants.com is good.
Have you tried Restaurant.com? My husband and I bought some certificates on ebay before Christmas. There are several restaurants we enjoy in our area and the savings are actually significant. Ebay will help you save even more than purchasing on their website. I gave away several certificates as gifts for Christmas and folks were really pleased. Try it. Perhaps some of your favorite restaurants participate!
@JD – why don't you set up a "Cash" account in Quicken, and when you take out the $200, transfer it there and then itemize your spending? I do this and usually end up with a few missing dollars here and there but overall it helps me out.
We hardly ever go places that would cost $50 a meal, our favorite places are Panera Bread, Qdoba and McAlister's Deli. Sort of a step above fast food but usually under $20 a meal. Our budget is twice a week, or $40.
That being said, if you enjoy dining out I would guess it's probably better to spend more for fewer meals than trying to go for quantity.
Have to say I agree with the comments regarding a different attitude toward eating out. If I can have it at home with my wife and enjoy a bottle of wine with it for the same or less than it would cost to eat out, I would rather be at home (read hamburger meal here).
When I dine out, I want an eating experience that I am not likely to do better in my own home. When I say this, I think sushi or a chef prepared meal. I would rather have this experience less often and pay the necessary price for the experience than pay $25. just to eat out.
As to putting your desires on hold to give yourself a chance to decide if they are really what you want, I have been getting better and better at this and I find this is an excellent way to reduce my ongoing expenditures for two reasons:
1. sometimes I just decide I don't really need it.
2. often, further research points me to a better opportunity or the same opportunity at a better price and I am that much more satisfied with my decision when I finally make it.
Okay, I feel better now. : )
We budget $100 for the month for entertainment, and that includes "going out for food" money. We have to be so careful with how we spend it – if we want to go out for a nice meal (say, $50) at the beginning of the month, we have to watch our spending for the rest of the month. It also keeps us in line. Sometimes, we buy fast food (if we're on the road, or if my pregnancy cravings say "eat at Culver's!"), or sometimes, we might just get a cup of coffee and split a baked good. It's fun, and it's a small splurge.
I do agree that half of the fun of going out….is going out. It's nice to not have to clean up and do the prep work of making dinner, and then to just leave the dirty dishes when we're done! I like the experience of getting ready to go out – maybe wearing a nicer outfit than usual, getting to the restaurant, people-watching, etc.

LEWISBURG, Pa. - A Bucknell Brigade trip to Nicaragua for Bucknell alumni, employees, and community members is planned for May 12-20.
The trip's cost is expected to be between $800 and $1,000, depending on the final cost of airfare, said Janice Butler, director of service learning at Bucknell.
"We recognize that not all faculty or staff can travel with the Bucknell Brigade to Nicaragua during the service-learning trips designed for students in January and March," said Butler. "This is not officially a university-sponsored trip, but we will be staying with the same host agency, Jubilee House Community on the outskirts of the capital city of Managua."
The group will work in the resettlement community of Nueva Vida, where the Bucknell Brigade has been an active participant since Hurricane Mitch devastated the region in 1998.
"If you are interested in participating in this trip, to serve those less fortunate and learn about the culture, history, politics, and needs of one of the hemisphere's poorest countries, contact me," said Butler.
Butler can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 570-577-3973. Learn more about Bucknell in Nicaragua.

Flying Clipper Goes Above And Beyond!
I am delighted with my new tossaballs and Flying Clipper in general. First of all, the shipping was so quick; it seemed no sooner did I place my order and I was juggling with my new balls. Before ordering, I called to get some advice on my selection and talked to Jim who was very helpful. I ended up ordering the 2.8 PU tossaballs & the 2.55 soft tossaballs both of which are serving my purposes perfectly. The 2.55 soft tossaballs are quickly becoming my favorite--I cannot put them down. Also, the tossaball pouch is a really nice pouch. What is most pleasing is that all these balls are hand sewn so perfectly and uniform in size--I don't know how they do it. Lastly, I had asked Jim some questions about footbags because I am starting to learn this activity. Lo and behold, along with my order came a complimentary Dirtbag!! Now I am all set to start the new year with a new skill.

If I had to summarize our stay in this bed and breakfast with one word, it would be "comfortable". But since I have more words available, here are the details behind the word: The location is excellent--central to my husband's work, and our family and friends scattered around the area. We enjoyed being walking distance from work downtown and from the interesting shops and delicious restaurants in the Short North area, and also easy driving distance from everywhere else we needed to be. The room was wonderful, spacious, homey and oh so comfortable, especially the bed with feather blankets. We both slept soundly and comfortably every night during our stay. Not all of the rooms are as large as the one we were in, but for a stay of several nights, the extra space in that room made it easy to spread out and feel at home. Breakfast was delicious and very filling--three out of the four days of our stay we ate breakfast in-house and thoroughly enjoyed each meal. Trelene is a wonderful cook, and the food was a delightful mix of fresh and home-cooked. We were so full every day, we were never quite ready to eat again by the time lunch rolled around.The variety of fresh fruit, yogurt and granola was a perfect complement to the satisfying and tasty entree each day. Many thanks for a wonderful stay!

This B&B has an amazing location and is the best one in the short north, if not all of Columbus.

My husband and I stayed here in September 2010. It was our first bed and breakfast experience (we're in our late 20's and early 30's respectively) and we loved it so much that we have talked extensively since this stay about one day opening our own B&B!!! The bed was extremely comfortable, everything was well kept and clean and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We stayed three nights and honestly were a bit sad to leave. There are a ton of cute shops, great restaurants and a lively nightlife in very close proximity to the house. We will definitely stay here again if in the area and in need of a place to stay!!! Thank you so very much!!!

Less than a block away from the Short North District, within walking distance of downtown. Wonderful restaurants and Jeni's ice cream shop nearby. Treline prepares a great breakfast, and can provide tips on where to go, what to do (such as Franklin Park Conservatory). We'll definitely be back next time we're in Columbus.

My family and I rented for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of Ohio State graduation as our youngest daughter was graduating. We rented all 7 rooms. We had a wonderful experience. The rooms were comfortable. We had a reception in the dining area which has four large tables and is very spacious. At times when there were no activities different groups split off and did a myriad of things. Being right in the Short North was great! Trelene was a superb hostess and facilitated our goings on in any way she could. I would definitely recommend 50 Lincoln Short North and look forward to an excuse to stay there again.

Stayed with a team of teachers for a confence in Jan, ice storm and all it was great. It was quiet, clean, great host in Trelene and the breakfast was fantastic. My team and I came back each day from the conference could really relax and enjoy ourselves. The team liked it so much that we stayed a second time when we had a two day workshop, it was worth the extra drive even though there was hotels closer. I'm looking for a chance to make a getaway for my wife, she will love it. It does not matter if you are a couple or coming for buisness this is the place to stay, and there is so much within walking distance.

My husband and I had a Kidless Weekend and greatly enjoyed our stay. The location was fantastic, a quick jaunt to Goodale Park and some great shops. Trelene was a delight and very knowledgable about the area. We will be back!

My friend and I stayed here for four days for the Arnold "Expo" bodybuilding trade show, in March 2010. This was a great experience. Short, comfortable walk to the Convention Center, but secreted away in the artsy, Bohemian, colorful Short North district. Breakfast was great!! This felt like home, and I plan to return often!

text: I just want to start by saying I dont understand much about cars, so hopfully there is an easy solution to my question. I have a 95 Legacy L wagon. I bought it about 5 years ago. Since day 1 the cruise control hasn't worked. I push the button, and the light comes on. But nothing happens except for a faint "click" noise on the passenger side of the dash somewheres. I never drive far in the car, so never had the need to really use it. But this summer I plan on going to Ottawa (1500km away), and thought it would be nice to have this working. Any help would be good. Even just somthing maybe I could sujest the garage to try.

We all have times when we are nervous and our heart feels like it's going to jump out of our chest that's normal. It is not normal when you are 13 and your heart starts beating 3 times faster than it should for no apparent reason. We went to Parker to meet a teen who discovered he was born with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, but is back on the football field now with no residual affect.
As an 8th grader (now 14) Cody Bussell is already a standout on the Parker JV Football squad. As quarterback he literally stands head and shoulders above his offense. He also stands out in town as one of the youngest athletes to have a unique heart procedure that cured him. He noticed something was wrong last May (2010) so he immediately called to his mom, who happens to be a nurse, for help.
His mom Tricia says, "He woke up, took a shower like he normally does getting ready for school and came to me to say his heart felt funny."
Cody says, "My heart was beating really fast. It felt like it was jumping out of my chest."
Tricia says, "I got my stethoscope out and listened and realized it was beating fast and irregular."
Cody says, "My chest was sore, I was light headed and I felt like I was going to pass out."
Tricia says, "His heart was beating faster than 180 beats a minute so I knew something was going on. A normal heart rate is 60 to 80. Since he is an athlete his resting heart rate is 60. When it went to 3 times that it isn't good."
An EKG showed Cody had Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or WPW. A condition you're born with that causes the heart to beat irregular because of an abnormal extra electrical pathway between the heart's chambers. Electrophysiologist Dr. Riyad Mohama from North Central Heart was Cody's doctor.
Dr. Mohama says, "We introduce special catheters inside the heart we can advance those, manipulate those wires in the location that has abnormal pathways and then apply a special heat to it which is radio frequency energy and usually destroys the abnormal tissue. It completely eliminates the source of the problem. If we can get rid of that extra pathway that would cure the situation. Very few things in medicine can we cure and this is one of them."
Although Cody doesn't think about what could have happened had his heart gone bizerk while playing football, or any other sport for that matter, his parents certainly do.
Tricia says, "Both my husband Scott and I have been nervous since he had this episode in May. It's been a very nerve racking experience. We are very thankful everything turned out good."
Thankfully now the Quarterback's options are truly endless.
Even though you are born with WPW condition is often only discovered by chance after a rapid, irregular heart beat and often times that appears for the first time when people in their teens or 20's.

January is a hot month at thrift stores
Find out how to maximize your savings.
This is something that retailers won't want to hear, but January is a particularly good time to shop at thrift stores, The Thrifty Chicks
advise. Thrift store shelves and racks are full of end-of-year
charitable contributions of things and Christmas gifts the recipients
didn't like.
Before you go, get over the silly notion that "if it's not new, it's EWW." Once there, follow the shopping tips from The Thrifty Chicks, a site dedicated to thrift store shopping. "Our tips will turn a novice into a master," thrifty chick "Ms. Shopping Golightly" says.
This site make a powerful argument in favor of secondhand stores.
For instance, you:
- Cut out the middleman. A lot of stuff sold on eBay and in "funky boutiques" was purchased at thrift stores and marked up, it says.
- Get more value with each dollar. In comparison, retail store prices for new stuff will seem "obscene."
- Help the environment. That new-to-you item is already here, and isn't a new thing that sucks up even more resources when it's manufactured, packaged and shipped from overseas.
The Thrifty Chicks is loaded with great thrift-shopping tips. The No. 1 tip for getting the best deals: Go often.
- Use a shopping cart. Even if you don't fill it, you'll need both hands to plow through all the items, including things that other shoppers have attempted to hide in anticipation of a storewide half-off sale.
- If you find something great, put it in your cart and keep looking. People who donate often bring in multiple items, and you'll score big if you really like their taste.
- Of course, you're not being frugal if you buy things you don't need.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Texas A&M has agreed in principle to give coach Kevin Sumlin a contract extension and a raise after he led the Aggies to 11 wins in his first season with the team.
Sumlin, who was hired from Houston after Mike Sherman was fired, recently completed the first year of a 5-year contract worth $2 million a year.
Terms of the deal weren't released pending approval from the Texas A&M Board of Regents on Feb. 1.
Sumlin's staff will also get raises under the new deal.
Sumlin and Heisman-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel led the Aggies to their highest final ranking since 1956 at No. 5. They finished 11-2 for the fourth 11-win season in school history, one year after going 7-6.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—Michigan residents will be included in a major clinical trial through the participation of Spectrum Health.
The study will focus on peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which can lead to leg amputations, and will look at how a patient's own stem cells can be used in treatment.
Spectrum is one of up to 20 locations around the country but the only health system in Michigan to take part, which means some patients from Spectrum could be part of the study. Patients will have to meet certain requirements to be included.
Developing PAD means blood flow to the legs has been reduced by extra cholesterol and fat in the blood. One on 20 of Americans over the age of 50 have the condition.
The study, sponsored by Biomet Biologics, will test the effectiveness of the MarrowStim™ P.A.D. Kit.
