5 savings tips from a starving student
A new college school year is right around the corner, and so are new tuition hikes and budget cutbacks.
This post comes from Gideon Grudo at partner site Money Talks News.
A new school year begins next month at the nation's 4,400 colleges and universities, following a brutal summer of budget cuts and tuition hikes.
Last month, CNN reported that state universities in 25 states were facing budget cuts of $5 billion. Meanwhile, tuition is rising everywhere -- 7.5% at Pennsylvania's 14 state schools, 7.6% at tiny Kansas City Kansas Community College, and a whopping 18% in the University of California system.(How much should you be saving for college?)
For a little twist of the knife, USA Today reported last week that college presidents in several states -- California, Georgia and Kentucky -- are getting raises. "While the budget situation in most states hasn't changed," the paper reports, "administrators at some institutions say the market requires that they start paying presidents more."
At my state university, tuition is up 15%, or a little more than $400 a year. Here's what I'm doing to try to offset the hike. As you read these tips, note that many will work for anyone, student or otherwise.
When we do go out, we read our student newspaper -- not for the articles but for the ads from bars offering incredible deals on "college nights." And, of course, the word will spread like wildfire through Twitter and Facebook. Bottom line: If you aren't drinking at two-for-one prices, stay home.
Start smart. When I was looking for a college, comparing costs was almost impossible. Each school seemed to have its own way of breaking down the numbers. While it's too late for me (I'm a year from graduating), the government recently launched a new website called the College Affordability and Transparency Center, which shows you the least expensive universities in the country. All you need to do is type in what you're looking for: a two-year school? Private? Public? The site does the rest and returns objective, fact-laden info. Another site to try is The College Board's QuickFinder, which compares up to three colleges at a time. Post continues after video.
Eat right and cheap. My campus cafeteria has all the fast-food options: burgers, chicken, subs, tacos. But my friends and I stay away from it as much as possible. Not only is it unhealthy, it's really not that cheap anymore -- certainly not as cheap as doing the cooking ourselves. Indiana University came up with a great guide for college cooking (.pdf file), and USA Today published tips from a vegetarian student about what she does to stay full and healthy. Thankfully, our newer dorms and apartments have nice kitchens, which makes cooking much easier -- something to look for when you check out colleges.
On my campus, we have an amazing movie theater that shows some current and foreign flicks for cheaper than the local multiplex if you have a student ID. And we have a theater department with a black-box theater and a music department that puts on classical music concerts. Now, that's not the kind of entertainment college kids prefer, but it makes for interesting and cheap college dating, especially if you want to be cultured and not seem cheap.

TREASURE COAST - When the head of a prescription drug trafficking organization was notified that a patient died, he responded "people die every day," according to a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration press release.
Last week, as a result of a lengthy investigation, authorities charged the head of the organization, Lewis Gabriel Stouffer, and 13 others with earning millions by prescribing millions of prescription drug pills to people who didn't legitimately need the drugs, the press release said.
Charges resulting from the investigation included racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering, manslaughter, trafficking a controlled substance, money laundering and illegally prescribing a controlled substance.
The only doctor with a Treasure Coast home address, Bruce Jay Kammerman, 54, of Palm City, prescribed 644,246 oxycodone pills, the press release said. Jeffrey J. Reiter, 54, of Fort Pierce, also was charged.
The investigation involved nine clinics, including one in Vero Beach, that were in locations ranging from Pensacola to Miami, the press release said.
Authorities said the investigation began in 2010 after they received information of suspicious activity at Stuart Pain Management in Vero Beach.
The investigation found that clinic and eight others were tied to Mr. Stouffer and his partner, Craig Turturo, both of whom are Pompano Beach firefighters, authorities said.
Authorities believe Mr. Stouffer researched past prescription drug operations and used the information in an attempt to make the clinics look legitimate, the press release said.
"He educated his co-conspirators on how to successfully report their competition, as well as how to report doctor shoppers in order to appear as though they were legitimate pain clinics," the press release said.
"While Stouffer's efforts give the resemblance of legitimacy, his drug enterprise had one purpose: to make money from illegal drug trafficking and the financing of illegal drug trafficking throughout Florida," the press release said.
Many of the doctors accused of being involved in the organization prescribed hundreds of thousands of oxycodone pills, as well as other drugs, authorities said.
On the Treasure Coast, investigators executed a search warrant at Stuart Pain Management, 1146 21st St., Vero Beach.
Local law enforcement involved included the Indian River County Sheriff's Office, the Vero Beach Police Department, the Fort Pierce Police Department and the Port St. Lucie Police Department.

City's CyberCycle program recycles old electronics
As television stations make the switch from analog to digital broadcast today, many people may discover that their old television sets have gone blank. For those who choose to purchase new televisions – consider recycling the old set instead of just throwing it out. Metro Solid Waste's CyberCycle program accepts televisions and other electronics at no charge to citizens.
"We strongly encourage our residents to take advantage of the CyberCycle program if they have recently replaced an old television," said Keith Hackett, director of Louisville Metro Solid Waste Management. "Recycling old electronics keeps toxic materials out of landfills, and allows the re-use of materials like plastic, steel, and copper."
According to the Federal Communications Commission, more than 79,000 households in Louisville and surrounding counties depend entirely on over-the-air broadcasts for television viewing, and approximately 2.5 percent are expected to be unprepared for today's digital conversion.
Some donation centers, such as Goodwill, no longer accept televisions.
Residents may bring up to three electronic items at no charge to the CyberCycle collection, located at the Louisville Waste Reduction Center at 636 Meriwether Avenue. Operating hours are Tuesday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Acceptable items for the CyberCycle program also include computers, scanners, printers, monitors, tape and disk drives, electronic game systems, VCRs, CD players, digital cameras, copiers, cell phones, CDs and floppy disks.
Since Louisville began its CyberCycle program in 2004, more than 1,100 tons of electronic equipment have been recycled.

Following an explosive French study suggesting a link between Monsanto's controversial genetically engineered corn and cancer, Russian authorities have temporarily suspended all imports and use of the biotech GMO product until further safety testing can be performed. Officials worldwide are reportedly investigating the matter as well.
Russia's consumer-protection agency, known as Rospotrebnadzor, announced the decision last week, saying it had ordered the country's Institute of Nutrition to investigate the recent French university study. The regulatory agency has also reportedly asked the European Union for its views as the European Food Safety Authority vowed to review the research.
"Until we receive the full information in this case, the import and sale of genetically modified NK603 corn is being temporarily suspended," the Russian agency said in a statement posted on its website. Some analysts called the move largely "symbolic," but it did make a splash.
The news out of Moscow quickly prompted headlines around the world as consumer fears over genetically engineered crops reached their highest level yet. But even before Russia's new temporary ban was announced, the embattled American biotech giant was already under attack from California to Europe.
Analysts and Monsanto itself downplayed the significance of the Russian government's decision, claiming that it would not have a large effect on the firm's business. Among the reasons cited: the government already prohibits farmers from planting genetically engineered organisms (GMOs) and Russia imports very little corn from the United States anyway.
"Russia is a net exporter of grain, so the actual impact of their temporary suspension, if any, is likely to be small," a Monsanto spokesman said in a statement, claiming that the safety of NK603 corn was "well established." The company's stock price has not yet suffered any serious blows from the news, either.
Some critics of the Russian government's decision, especially pro-GMO lobbyists, alleged that the move did not really have anything to do with safety concerns. Instead, they argued, it was a transparent effort to shield the inefficient Russian agriculture sector from tough U.S. government-subsidized competition.
Anti-GMO advocates countered that Monsanto has long been using the U.S. government as its attack dog in the drive to spread its products around the world. Despite heavy American diplomatic pressure and an intense lobbying campaign, however, governments have not all accepted genetically engineered crops just yet.
Still, Monsanto has been feverishly playing defense in recent weeks, attempting to discredit the University of Caen study on GMO corn that showed increased tumor growth in both male and female rats. According to the St. Louis-based firm, the data was incomplete and the study "doesn't meet minimum acceptable standards for this type of scientific research."
Critics have accused Monsanto and the biotech industry as a whole of attempting to quash any scientific data that casts doubts on the safety and efficacy of genetic engineering, saying the whole sector relies instead on lobbying and U.S. government support as the cornerstone of its business plan. But despite being heralded as the first long-term study on the effects of GMOs — industry studies typically last about three months — Monsanto dismissed the results of the latest investigation.
"We do not believe the recent French research findings present information that justifies any change in the safety determination for NK603 or its approval status for imports," a spokesman for Monsanto told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "The safety of NK603 is well established as reflected in the respective safety assessments by regulatory authorities around the world."
Earlier this month, researchers in France released the results of their two-year study, which was published in The Food & Chemical Toxicology Journal. According to the scientists, both the genetically engineered corn and the herbicide Roundup were linked to early death, massive organ failure, explosive tumor growth, and other problems.
In addition to Monsanto, some independent experts also questioned the study. However, the outcome sparked major concerns about GMO products around the world, with French authorities calling for an emergency review and even a possible European Union-wide ban on Monsanto's controversial seeds and herbicide.
"Depending on [food safety agency] ANSES' opinion, the government will urge the European authorities to take all necessary measures to protect human and animal health," explained French Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll and Social Affairs Minister Marisol Touraine in a joint statement. "[The measures] could go as far as invoking emergency suspension of imports of NK603 corn to Europe pending a re-examination of this product on the basis of enhanced assessment methods."
In California, the biotech industry has been waging a multi-million dollar campaign to stop Proposition 37, a ballot initiative dubbed "California Right to Know Act" to mandate the labeling of consumer products containing GMOs. Monsanto itself has reportedly spent some $7 million to fight the proposed labeling.
The French study, however, was quickly seized upon by proponents of the plan as another reason that consumers should be able to know what is contained in their groceries. "There is a giant question mark hanging over these foods and their health risks," said pro-Proposition 37 campaign manager Gary Ruskin. "For those of us in California, the case for labeling of genetically engineered foods has never been stronger."
More than a few opponents question the very foundation of Monsanto's business model, saying that obtaining patents on DNA — life itself — should be off the table completely. Other critics are more concerned with the potential side effects of consuming food that has been genetically modified, sometimes combined with DNA from other plants or animals.
Despite the growing pressure on both sides of the Atlantic, Monsanto is still doing very well as a company. Its share price is up by about 30 percent year-to-date, and more than a few analysts have touted the stock as a bargain. Supporters also believe that genetic engineering might one day help to feed the world by making crops more resistant to droughts or pests.
Documents released by WikiLeaks also confirmed that the company has a relentless ally in the U.S. government, which even tried to threaten other nations into approving GMOs. Top Monsanto officials also have what critics refer to as a "revolving door" with the federal government — allowing executives to move back and forth between regulatory agencies and the private sector at will.
However, even considering the power of the U.S. government, fear and opposition to GMOs is building even in the United States, where most of the corn planted today is genetically engineered. The whole industry could eventually collapse if the trend continues, according to analysts. Activists are currently trying to orchestrate a boycott of companies opposed to labeling as a precursor to bringing down the whole biotech industry.
"Why is this GMO labeling fight so important? Once GMOs are labeled in California, it will bring a cascade effect in other states as well, since most national companies won't create two labeling schemes, one for California and one for the rest of the country," said the Alliance for Natural Health, one of the groups leading the boycott effort. "Moreover, once products containing GMOs are labeled, people will stop buying them — and this economic pressure will be enough to force GMOs off the market."
Many experts predict that if the popular California labeling proposition is approved, which seems likely, it might indeed be the beginning of the end for genetically engineered crops — at least until the industry can prove the safety of its products to American consumers. However, with the powerful U.S. government so blatantly committed to Monsanto's success, it may well be a long battle.

1. The study si a joke here is why:
a. he cancer occurs in control and GM treated rats
b. the cancer rate doesn't get worse with higher dose - toxin get worse with higher dose
c. they didn't use enough rats to say if the occureence of cancer was higher than the background high rate in these specially bred rats.
d. If the cancer is not significant its not real its noise in the system.
e. If cancer was this high then since most rats and mice used in all the other many trials that are done for a variety of reasons in the US would also be getting cancer at high rates (other studies in US don't limit their rat and mouse food to non GM.
f. There is no sound scientific basis that says: the gene that is in th GM corn that is also in all food and many bacteria naturally does any hamr- people already have eatn it from the begining of human species and have also eaten this GM corn for about 15 years without any sign of ill effects - zero.
g. The researchers are funded by anti-GM groups that doesn't make them bias for sure but the studies funded by the compnaies are done under special supervision called GLP - that is an anal retentive way to make sue all the data can be tracked back to original data and under penalty of a felony it has to be correct and un tanpered with and not hiding secrets. The French work has non of these controls and after all they are French.
h. The same study reported on early was totally discredited by the EU safety agencies as a bad piece of science - and they have no grudge to bear.
i. The CA initiative is stupid it doesn't tell us how to label things ....all the corn and soy and canola derived food iand meat made from animals fed GM grain in the nation will have to be labeled as GM since there is no way to know what food is GM. The FDA has a sensible rule - if the GM trait affects the product so it is different physically/chemically so it is no longer the same as nonGM then it should be labeled. GM food is not different in these regards. We don't want a whole pile of labeles that are just for almost religious beliefs.
J. organic industry people 3 main ones are funding the anti-GM initiave with a million plus dollar each. One guy Mercola has been cited by the FDA for advertising his products incorrectly - labling them with attributes they don't have - he is a snake oil sales man. and they need to have GM look bad to charge more for their useless products
I am running out of alphabet.............................

All we want in our Bill in California is that any foods containing GMO products be Labeled as such as Other Ingrediants are. It is then the consumers choice to Read labels and decide if they want to buy or not. These companies, mainly Monsanta, spend many millions lobbying Congress and the FDA . The companies spending many millions in states FOR GMO foods. Monsanto is spending over $7 million just in Calif. fighting the bill to label GMO foods. Why do they spend so many millions all over, including Congress people if they think GMO is so great??? There is a lot to this story pro and cons, but meantime studies hav e been done that show it to be dangerous and toxic to health. We should have it labeled and choose freely. IT certainly is NOT just corn, it is all Soybeans and soy products, sweet beats and who knows what else. The seeds are injected with Toxic Chemicals and herbicides to that they will be resistant to bugs, however, bugs still attacking the plants, which means more toxic chemicals in the seeds themselves. Money and Greed within the USA Government has ok'd this, not the consumers that eat it. Should be their choice. This is NOT just Cross Breeding 1 type of tomato with another etc. which has been done for many years. This is about actually injecting toxic chemicals into seeds. Could be long term cancers, short term diseases, this has been studied all over but needs to be a real good study of scientists that aree open and sharing their information. MEANTIME, AT THE LEAST, LABEL OUR FOOD OF ALL GMO PRODUCTS THAT WE CONSUME.

As requested: a copy of my patient-education handout for cold-and-flu patients…
Chest Compress
-A 3-step steam-based therapy to break coughing fits and loosen up coughs; good for ages 3 months old and up.
1) Smear a thin layer of Vicks Vaporub (kids older than 2 years) or Vicks Babyrub (kids ages 3 months to 2 years) on the chest; do not get Vicks in eyes or mouth!
2) Soak a thin cloth (i.e. bandanna or handkerchief) in cold water, wring it out, and lay it over the Vaporub area.
3) Wrap the entire torso in a dry towel. When the cloth gets dry, do steps 1-3 again.
-Air dryness causes coughs to get worse at night. Use a vaporizer or humidifier to keep the air moist in your sleeping area. Be sure to clean the machine as instructed to avoid mold buildup.
Dark-Brown Honey ("Buckwheat" honey is best)
-A natural way to soothe cough and sore throat. Plus, scientific tests have shown that honey works as good as, or possibly BETTER than, Robitussin — with fewer side effects for children. However, DO NOT USE HONEY in children under 12 months old.
Method #1: Give the child a ½ teaspoon of honey on a spoon to suck on every 4 hours as needed for cough.
Method #2: Stir ½ tsp of honey into a glass of warm water; add lemon to taste, and use every 4 hours as needed for cough.
Eucalyptus Oil
-This natural strong-smelling oil, made from leaves of the Eucalyptus tree, can be found in most natural health stores, and in some pharmacies. This is the same oil which is used in Vicks Vaporub and many throat lozenges, to help soothe the "tickle-in-the-throat" cough. DO NOT USE THIS MIXTURE WITH CHILDREN under 12 months old.
1) Fill a plastic bottle (such as an old water bottle) with room-temperature water
2) Put 1 to 5 drops of Eucalyptus Oil into the water, and shake well to mix
3) Take small sips of mixture as often as needed to soothe your cough & throat
Umcka ColdCare
-Herbal remedy from a South-African Geranium flower (Pelargonium Sidoides). In clinical trials, it may get rid of head, throat and chest viruses up to 3 days FASTER than Vitamin C, Zinc, or Echinacea! Available over-the-counter in a sweet-flavored melting/chewable lozenge, easy for kids to take.
1) Kids 6 years and older/Adults: start taking at first sign of a cold, as directed on box.
Throat Compress
-A 2-step steam-based therapy to soothe sore throat and decrease throat swelling.
1) Fold a thin cloth (i.e. bandanna or handkerchief) into a long strip, soak it in cold water, wring it out and wrap it around the neck.
2) Cover the cloth with a dry cloth (I find that a tube-sock works well for this). Fasten it with a safety pin. When the cloth gets dry, repeat steps 1 & 2 again.
Cool Baths/Showers
-An important way to help decrease high fevers, along with Tylenol and Ibuprofen.
Method #1: Soak in a lukewarm/room temperature bath for 15 minutes, then air dry.
Method #2: Stand in the shower, and alternate between HOT and COLD water every 20 seconds for a 2 minutes. End with 20 seconds of COLD.
As for myself, I swear by sniffing garlic, which is a folk remedy but I'm persuaded it helps. Take a large enough clove...
This is a great idea! Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, unlike Dr. Cranquis, and the following statements are purely from...

In 1972, company founder Jack Behnken moved his family from Battle Creek, Mich. to Ogden, Utah and began building his dream which was then called Animal Nutrition.
From very humble beginnings and after much hard work, Jack saw his company grow from one small dry kibble manufacturing plant near the railroad in Ogden, Utah to a nationwide network of pet food manufacturing plants in:
- Ogden, Utah
- Phoenix, Ariz.
- Woodland, Wash.
- Hazleton Township, Pa.
Jack passed away in early 2007, but his legacy of quality petfood manufacturing continues to be driven by his son, Bill Behnken, CEO and President.
Today, American Nutrition, is a leading manufacturer of quality pet foods for your dog or cat. If you are looking for a pet food manufacturer to professionally produce cat and dog food products, we invite you to explore our capabilities and contact us.
American Nutrition started by manufacturing single component, dry-extruded dog and cat foods.
Today our capabilities have grown to:
- Producing multi-color, multi-shape dog and cat foods
- Meal or real meat-based products
- Baked dog foods and dog biscuits, as well as canned dog and cat foods all in various price ranges
- Custom formulas
- Testing
- Logistics
- Packaging
We source standard and exotic ingredients from around the world for our customers, and are always looking for new ingredient ideas. We can utilize most packaging materials and configurations in our manufacturing plants.
Our team can take a project from idea to finished product quickly, so please contact us to get started!
You want a supplier who has a reliable Pet Food Safety and Quality Assurance program in place every day so you know your private brand is protected.
At American Nutrition, providing quality products is our main focus. We have a dedicated vice president of food safety and quality systems who has extensive experience in food grade manufacturing. In addition, our quality assurance director has many years' experience in pet food manufacturing.

Part 4 of Aaron Swartz's Raw Nerve series. Raw Nerve on read+reflect.
Exercise is painful, and if we set out to simply avoid pain, we'd never exercise. But we keep exercising because we know in the long run that exercise is positive and makes us healthier and whatnot.
That's a big difference, because this long-term thinking allows us to push through the pain, and the pain almost becomes pleasure—when we encounter pain, we know we are getting better.
Psychological pain is like that too. Things we don't want to think about, things we don't want to deal with, the most important ones seem to be the ones we avoid since they're painful. With those things, the stakes are high and we try to avoid dealing with them.
He quotes Ray Dalio:
It is a fundamental law of nature that to evolve one has to push one's limits, which is painful, in order to gain strength—whether it's in the form of lifting weights, facing problems head-on, or in any other way. Nature gave us pain as a messaging device to tell us that we are approaching, or that we have exceeded, our limits in some way. At the same time, nature made the process of getting stronger require us to push our limits. Gaining strength is the adaptation process of the body and the mind to encountering one's limits, which is painful. In other words, both pain and strength typically result from encountering one's barriers. When we encounter pain, we are at an important juncture in our decision-making process.
So, instead of avoiding pain, realize that it makes us stronger. And when we encounter pain, it's another chance for us to get stronger. And when we push through pain, we're getting stronger.
In agile software development, there's an idea which is: if it hurts, do it more often. Used herein is the example of merging code in software, where two different people worked on it. If we leave it for last and procrastinate the merge, it's a huge ordeal which cyclicly gets more and more postponed. Agile says: do it more often. And a hundred micro-merges is less painful than one mega-merge.
So, don't run from the pain. What really makes us anxious is the important things that trigger a fight-or-flight response. Instead of running from the pain, see it as an opportunity to get better and stronger. See the pain as a long-term pleasure. Start small, and just think about what causes you pain at first, then figure out how to attack it.
Next time you start feeling that feeling, that sense of pain from deep in your head that tells you to avoid a subject — ignore it. Lean into the pain instead. You'll be glad you did.
Leaning into the pain is an extension of the idea of getting out of your comfort zone. The only way that we develop is when we go outside our comfort zone. And naturally, like Ray says, it causes pain. But the pain should be an indicator that you're really outside of your comfort zone.
This "juncture in our decision-making process" that we encounter when we encounter pain is essential: it is the fork in the road where we decide whether or not to go through with it all. When we feel a bit of the pain that accompanies the pursuit of the task at hand.
I've been trying to adopt this idea for the past six or seven months of traveling. I think that we have to have a balance of facing pain and enjoying pleasure, but we should be leaning in one direction or another. I picked facing pain. And here and there, now and then, I decide to go to that city that I'm a bit scared of going to. Do that 6-hour hike that I know will wreck me. Go and socialize when I'm not feeling totally there.
And it's such a huge part of why I've been so happy with my travels: because those things that were painful to do have also turned into the most fulfilling things that I've done.
Pain is an indicator that something outside the ordinary is going on. When you're pursuing something new, it indicates that you're stepping outside of your comfort zone. And we should be making a habit out of recognizing when we feel this pain and accept it, and even let it push us forward.
In general, I think we should cultivate a habit of being more accepting of pushing forward. We don't have to do it every second of every minute of every day—we lose comfort, which I think is important—but we should also make sure that we are actually regularly moving forward. And maybe then, if we do that, and if we lean into the pain, we can spend time becoming better people instead of running away from the important things we don't want to face.
Notes from Aaron Swartz's article on how to accept pain when going outside of your comfort zone and trying new things....

In my years of doing radio I have had the opportunity to to meet almost all of my music heroes and get a quick picture with them. It is commonly called a Meet & Greet. You don't hang out, you just get a photo, autograph, say hello and move on about your business.
I have hung around and met some great artists that truyly meant a lot to me. Aerosmith, Kiss, Van Halen (with Sammy Hagar) Bob Seger, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, DMC of Run DMC, and the list goes on and on.
Those Meet & Greets pale in comparison to the M & G I had this past Saturday Night.
Every weekend, I have the privelege of getting new motorcylce from Kegel Harley Davidson, so I hopped on the 2012 Road King and headed south on I-39. I was just north of Bloomington Normal when I hit a real bone jarring bump. The saddle bag flew open, I pulled over, glanced to make sure everything was there and then went on my way.
I got to my hotel and thought I should go get cleaned up before my big meeting. That is when I realized what I had lost. My glasses. If you know me, I can't see without glasses, I would be stuck all night with my sunglasses.
One of the big reason I have always wanted to meet the woman that gave me life, is I wanted to hear the words "oh he has your eyes" The eyes have always been important to me. So to show up with sunglasses would mess with that.
I walked into the Hilton Garden in in Springfield IL around 7:30 pm not knowing what to expect. Unlike other meet and greets, there were no excited fans, there were no lines, no posters to be autographed and no annoying security guards. This was a meet & greet that was between 2 people. 1 person that had waited his whole life to meet the other. 1 person who had met the other when he was very young.
At 7:32pm on June 23, 2012 I met my mother for the first time. I walked directly up to her and gave her the hug I had been imagining. Just like the one that Julius gave to Gary's mom in the movie Remember the Titans. It was exactly what I had hoped would happen. After the hug, the next words were "Take off your glasses" AS I took them off, I heard words that I had never ever heard. "He looks exatly like Bob" From what I could gather "Bob" must be a damn good lookin fella! I look forward to meeting him and other members of my new found family.
We spent the next 3 and a half hours just sitting and talking. I was asked not to put my glasses back on. So I didn't really get to see much. Sunday morning we spent a few more hours together having breakfast before heading out.
I can't begin to put the feelings into words. There are no words to describe what I have felt or am feeling.
Happy could be a good word to start with
Here is a photo of me (sans glasses) and my mother Rosalie

Hilton announces an initiative that will let guests access their rooms using their smartphones while relegating key cards to the history bin.
When filling out online booking forms, joking is tempting. Sometimes, people don't find it funny. Especially if it's a "snake in my trousers" joke.
For reasons that must go far beyond the boundaries of conventional art, Paris Hilton creates a music video that seems to warn people of the dangers of texting while inebriated. It also warns of Twitter's dangers too.
Paris Hilton gets together with a social-games developer and a virtual goods distributor to sell a virtual collection in online games. Is there no end to branded illusion?
After spotting them together in a paparazzi video, TechCrunch's Michael Arrington does some digging and hears that the two are an item.
Despite claiming a rather nifty Chanel bag containing cocaine was not hers, it seems the dazzling socialite tweeted a picture of a bag that looks spectacularly similar more than a month ago.
Louis Vuitton to the rescue
Even though we already have TMZ and its ilk, Buzznet said research indicates celebrity gossip fans will welcome a new place to chatter about John Mayer's latest antics.
The celebrity gossip blogger says he feels jilted by YouTube, which disabled and then reinstated some video clips after a copyright "misunderstanding."

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Just in time for the holidays, there's a vibrancy on Canal Street, including increased traffic and sales, said one business owner.
"Foot traffic is up significantly in our stores and sales are up," said Cindy Jones, owner of Southern Trends Home Furnishings, 334 Canal St., and president of the Canal Street Historic District Association. It's one of the city's two historic shopping areas, along with Flagler Avenue.
"In the last four years. the deep recession has affected Canal Street as it has every small downtown," Ms. Jones said. "But we are beginning to turn the corner."
"Canal Street is really taking off. With businesses and restaurants, it should be a nice destination for people," said Ms. Jones, who has been in business there 29 years.
Her comments were echoed by Bob Wiley, a major property owner on Canal who recently completed renovations to a 9,000-square-foot building at 235 Canal St.
"Canal Street is going to turn into a destination point with restaurants and design stores," he said. "All your decorating needs can be done in one spot."
Two retail tenants, Coastal Interiors and the Flooring Center, have already opened in his renovated building, he said, and infrastructure is going in for a restaurant on the corner of Canal and Rush Streets.
He said the property was originally the city's Post Office built in the 1960s, then the Pennysaver building.
When Mr. Wiley acquired the property in May 2011, he said he put a business plan together and requested a grant from the Community Redevelopment Agency.
"I have over $1 million of my own funds, plus some CRA funds," invested in the property, he said.
CRAs were started as a means to encourage private enterprise to invest in often blighted areas.
But in recent decades, the slow moving CRA train started to result in revitalized downtown areas."
"(CRAs are) a really wise use of scarce public resources," said Dr. Ruth Steiner, a professor of urban and regional planning at the University of Florida.
"It encourages more redevelopment investment, instead of a system where you're building new facilities that are further away (from downtown) and not accessible to many residents in the community.
CRAs have been used to revitalize downtowns, preserve landmarks and even construct in-fill housing in downtown neighborhoods, according to the Florida Redevelopment Association by-laws.
Another major Canal Street property owner, Richard Rosedale, has been working on a two-story office building on the corner of Canal and South Orange streets since December 2011.
He has obtained a CRA grant, in addition to his own funds, to construct the building at 426 Canal St. on a lot that's been empty since 2008.
His last hurdle was a meeting recently with the Utilities Commission and he hopes to start developing the site in a week or two.
Mr. Rosedale said he's talked to some possible tenants but has nothing concrete.
He was asked by city commissioners earlier this year about having housing on the second floor.
"I'll let the market dictate that," he said. "If nothing happens for offices upstairs, I may consider housing."
But he's concerned about noise from two nearby restaurants.
He said it's been a real learning curve developing a building from the ground up, rather than doing renovations.
"That's why you buy property that's already in place," he said.
Mr. Rosedale also is high on the growth of businesses on Canal Street.
"I've seen so much enthusiasm in the last year. There's real momentum going downtown," he said in an earlier interview.
He mentioned the 12 Oaks Gifts and Home Décor at 501 Canal Street.
His lot at 426 Canal was cleared in 2008 after a building housing Room Service Design was damaged in a fire.
Patti McCracken, owner of Room Service, then moved to 421 Canal St.
"The new building that just opened on Canal is so beautiful with its landscaping and big windows," Ms. McCracken said.
She, like other merchants, said she's been very busy and is having good sales of pillows, rugs, and accent pieces.
"We renovated our building, also most property owners are reinvesting in their property," she said.
Ms. Jones said many events are coming up for the holidays.
"Christmas on Canal Street is our signature event that started the revitalization of Canal Street." "We work hard at it, she said. "It takes a lot of dedicated people who find a way to go good things that everyone benefits from."

Hang tight!
Recipe by Sarah G
"Can easily be made without the spirits - nothing beats it on a cold evening, the aroma smells great while simmering."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups
apple cider
1/2 cup
orange juice
1/4 cup
peach schnapps
1/4 cup
triple sec (orange-flavored liqueur)
1 pinch
ground cinnamon
1 pinch
ground nutmeg
Add a little golden rum for some extra kick and you are IN BUSINESS. This turned out to be crowd favorite at Halloween. People at the house liked it and so did the parents of the trick-or-treaters.
This was too sweet for us- we would have maybe added more liquor- and used a less sweet alcohol...

This was very good. I adjusted it to serve 18 and made it in the crock pot. It was sweet so you wouldn't want more then a glass or two. I used 2 cans of apple juice concentrate instead of cider and added extra spices. It was perfect and I saved myself $5 which is always good.
I used a slow cooker and added a bunch of cinnamon sticks rather than just the plain cinnamon. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe. I served this at a holiday party among many other drinks and I went through 2 gallons as people actually lined up every time I refilled the slow cooker. I'm not even sure the cider got warm before people devoured it. This will be how I do mulled apple cider from now on.
Perfect for Monday night football tailgate, tripled recipe, Go Panthers!
This was AWESOME! I had a date planned for a carriage ride and needed something warm...this was perfect!
I had to use what I had on hand so I had to use sparkling apple cider and apple pie spice in place of all the spices. Really good! I'm sure it would be great either way.
I'll keep this one and use it for years to come...
I loved this! It's the perfect fall drink and smells so wonderful while it's heating. I'll definitely be making this one again - soon!
Made as written and it was a hit with te parents at our pre-trick or treat gathering. Will definitely make this again.

An early morning fire at an Amherst apartment complex took the life of a UMass Amherst student whose identity is not yet being released.
"We had reports from some of the occupants here that one of their roommates was not accounted for when we got here," said Assistant Amherst Fire Chief Lindsay Stromgren. "It was in the apartment where we believe the fire started so our crews were only able to make partial entry."
Stromgren said that it took crews around two hours to put out the heavy fire here at the Rolling Green Apt Complex. And, after the flames were out is when officials discovered that one person didn't make it out alive.
"Since the fire has been out we have gone back into the apartment," said Stromgren. "We have been able to verify unfortunately that there is a fatality a young male."
Around 30 people live in the 10 unit apartment complex.
"We woke up around 4:30 and people were banging on our door saying there was a fire and it was the apartment right next door to ours," said Bethany Cooke.
Cooke says that person likely saved her life.
"We don't even know who did it," said Cooke. "But, we wouldn't have woken up because the smoke alarm hadn't gone off yet because there was no smoke in our apartment."
State police and the State Fire Marshal's Office are assisting in the fire investigation.
Five apartments in the complex were totally gutted by the fire, but crews were able to prevent flames from spreading to the other section of the building.
"It was very strong when we got here. It got up into the roof space, and unfortunately it ran the whole length," said Stromgren. "As you can see it burned the whole roof off. Our crews were able to save the next section of the building, the second half of the building - we have a little bit of fire damage in the attic there."
The Red Cross is assisting those who are displaced. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Yeah, I understand your reasoning. Jack was destined to die. (I started crying tonight listening to the violin version of 'My Heart Will Go On'!) I will come up with a better FMK for next time. Harry has very nice legs, I agree. Drool-inducing.
You mean the version by that amazing Rundle Mall guy? I started crying in the middle of the mall because of that. So beautiful and sad :'( And it wasn't that bad, just hard (and odd!). Harry is also younger than us, so feel pedo-ish.

Instructional materials used in California public schools must comply
with Education Code sections 60040-60045 and 60048 as
well as the SBE guidelines in Standards
for Evaluating Instructional Materials for Social Content (DOC) 2013 Edition, replacing the Standards
for Evaluating Instructional Materials for Social Content (PDF) 2010 Edition.
These statutes and Board policies have been enacted so that instructional materials used in California:
- Portray accurately and equitably the cultural and racial diversity of American society;
- Demonstrate the contribution of minority groups and males and females to the development of California and the United States;
- Emphasize people in varied, positive, and contributing roles in order to influence students' school experiences constructively; and
- Do not contain inappropriate references to commercial brand
names, products, and corporate or company logos.
Search the Database
Although these instructional materials are not adopted by the State Board of Education (SBE), they have met the social content standards.
