Caution: Shipping clubs and other deals can be costly. Here's what to consider before you sign up.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Nothing is more annoying than seeing a great online deal upended by high shipping and handling costs. Shoppers abandon almost half of their potential purchases at checkout, and high shipping charges are the No. 1 reason.
In response, stores have stepped up free shipping promotions and formed "shipping clubs," which charge an annual fee to cover postage on all your orders, no matter how small. The most recent entrant, ShopRunner, launched last week with an offer of unlimited shipping at a consortium of stores, including Toys R Us, The Sports Authority and GNC -- for $79 per year. And Borders and Barnes & Noble launched clubs earlier this year as part of their store loyalty programs, priced at $25 and $20, respectively.
A break on shipping seems like a welcome respite, but the math works out solidly in favor of the retailers.
Beverly Hills wants to capitalize on its reputation (and help the city budget) with its own line of perfume and cosmetics.
As cities struggle to raise revenue, Beverly Hills has come up with a unique strategy: sell its own branded perfume.
If everyone from Lady Gaga to Bruce Willis is marketing a signature scent, why not Beverly Hills, the symbol for all things rich?
Wouldn't you rather your city be identified with a perfume than a Chihuahua?
Should your gift equal the cost of your reception meal?
I want to get married. That is, I want to get married after I've finagled an introduction to J. Money of the Budgets Are Sexy personal-finance blog. Once he and I are best buds, I want to get married a whole bunch of times, because J. Money's wedding gift of choice is a $100 bill.
"Nothing more, nothing less -- just a straight-up Mr. Benjamin for all our friends and family," he wrote in this post.
All right, I'm not actually looking to get married. (Unless it were for something really romantic, like health insurance.) But I have to say I'm tempted by J. Money's largesse, which is, well, large.
Transferred military couple didn't sell Vegas home at the height of the bubble. Now they're struggling to rent it out from afar.
This post from Jolyn is part of the reader stories feature at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
My husband and I bought our first home when he was stationed in Las Vegas with the Air Force. This was right after 9/11, when the economy was stagnant and the real estate market uncertain.
In the spirit of our new hometown, we took the gamble and plunged into homeownership, banking on the economy recovering before it was time for us to move again in a few years.
Fast-forward to 2004: The market was on fire. Houses were selling mere hours after being listed. Our house had appreciated by $120,000. It was also time for us to move again -- and time for us to take the money and run, right? Wrong.
Do you feel guilty about using those return-address labels from charities, or for neglecting to write thank-you cards?
This guest post comes from J. Money at Budgets are Sexy.
Almost a year ago I started a post about money-related things I've done that I feel bad about, but for whatever reason I couldn't finish it. Maybe it had to do with thinking they're small and aren't all that exciting, mixed with feeling guilty about them -- and probably more so of the latter. (Who likes admitting to thousands of people that they aren't perfect?)
Lately though, I figured it was about time to bare my soul. And something tells me I'm not the only one who's done these things.
Five things I feel bad about doing:
- Using those "free" St. Jude's stickers. You know, the ones with your address preprinted on them so you never have to write another return address again because you have 500-plus of them. That will last you 150 years. Unless you move.
Pepsi wants to tap into Americans' desire for healthier soft drinks. Plus: Coupons and kids eat free at Quiznos.
Poor beleaguered soda. Though Americans still drink too many sweetened soft drinks, they are starting to ask questions about whether they should. Cities and states have tried to tax soda, and New York City even wants to ban its purchase with food stamps.
Seeking to capture the "healthy soda" market, or at least tap into consumers' desires for healthier beverages, PepsiCo has turned the old Sierra Mist into the new Sierra Mist Natural.
As part of a major marketing campaign, Pepsi is giving away 10 million cans on Saturday, Oct. 9, at 2,800 Wal-Mart Supercenters nationwide. The giveaway is not on the Wal-Mart sampling calendar, but we believe it is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
All that stuff you never use can benefit others. You get a tax write-off and more room in your life.
Following my divorce I received dozens of paintings, prints and posters as part of my share of the community property. Some I've been able to sell. Some of it I probably never will.
I've decided to give away some of it, starting with one framed photo of Mount McKinley and three examples of the Alaska art genre known as "moose and goose in the spruce."
So who'd want it?
Elite status comes with perks worth the extra trip. But how do you get it without overpaying?
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Seth Miller has neither family nor business in Spokane, Wash., but that didn't stop the New Yorker from making three cross-country trips to the Eastern Washington city this year. Miller went solely for the miles, to secure his 2011 status as a platinum-level elite flier on Continental Airlines. "I didn't know what I was going to do there," he says. "I booked the (sale) fare and figured it out after."
Late-fall "mileage runs" are common among frequent fliers who are just a few miles shy of the 25,000 they need for "elite" status, which includes perks like seat upgrades and waived baggage fees. For the more casual traveler, such unnecessary trips might seem like flights of fancy. But with fares and fees on the rise, elite status is starting to confer tangible benefits. "Getting elite status used to be all about seat upgrades," says Randy Petersen, the founder of InsideFlyer, which tracks frequent-flier programs. "Today it's about saving money."

The Balvenie Single Barrel is a 15 year old single malt which is drawn from a single traditional oak whisky cask of a single distillation. Whilst each cask is subtly different & each bottling forms a limited edition of no more than 350 hand-numbered bottles - so each bottle is unique and unrepeatable.
NOSE: Fragrant aroma of vanilla, honeyed sweetness, hints of heather and dry oaky notes.
TASTE: Rich and complex, suggestive of years of careful ageing, it has a honeyed maltiness with vanilla, oak flavours and delicate spice notes.
FINISH: Long and complex with a touch of liquorice.

As a nurse with nine years of experience in the both the adult and pediatric critical care setting, Ashley has always had a love for health, fitness, and an active lifestyle. She was involved in dance, gymnastics, softball, ran cross country, and competed regionally and nationally in cutting horse competitions as a member of the National Cutting Horse Association. After selling her horse when she went to college, she found herself continuously searching for something to channel her fitness drive. A knee injury and surgery resulted in her discovering and becoming a dedicated practitioner of yoga. After moving from Nashville, TN to Birmingham, AL, she soon became frustrated and discouraged with not being able to find a yoga studio that she connected with. It was then that she was introduced to the barre technique and after her first class, immediately became addicted and discovered a new passion in the fitness industry!
When she and her husband moved to Richmond, she was devastated that Richmond did not have a barre studio; she wanted the community of Richmond to be able to experience the feeling of rejuvenation, physical strength, clarity, and confidence that she experienced from taking barre classes. With the help of the (at the time) lululemon Showroom, her passion and goal to bring the barre technique to Richmond led her to become trained as a barre instructor from a barre studio in Washington D.C. and begin Richmond Barre. Ashley is so excited to be able to offer the community of Richmond Richmond Barre, an innovative, trendy, challenging, and upbeat exercise routine in a comfortable, boutique studio setting. She offers passion and personal guidance in every class and loves to see the dedicated and transformed devotees leave each class with such euphoria. The camaraderie that is formed within the studio is priceless and she wants the entire community of Richmond to become a part of that. She believes that the barre technique is the type of workout that is, above all else, the best workout in the city of Richmond! Richmond Barre is a place and an exercise that will truly reveal transformations for everyone.

Save Cash and Calories with a Bowl of Goodness
Written on January 3, 2012 at 12:25 pm , by Karla Walsh
Losing weight and saving money are two New Year's resolutions Americans return to again and again.

Simply stock up on a few pantry items, spices and a bit of fresh produce and you'll have all you need for meals that will keep both your waistline and wallet happy.
A few basics Whole Foods Market recommends keeping on-hand for quick fix recipes:
- Whole grains: brown rice, millet, quinoa, steel-cut oats, whole-wheat pasta
- Beans: black beans, chickpeas, lentils, white beans
- Colorful vegetables: avocado, bell pepper, corn, kale, spinach, sweet potato, zucchini
- Protein: bison, chicken, grass-fed beef, salmon, tofu

Compression Devices
A compression device provides a wider range of compression than other traditional compression garments. Easy to use, it also provides steady and comfortable resting compression, as well as higher working compression when the wearer is active. A compression device may be an easy-to-apply alternative for patients, who:
- Struggle donning traditional compression garments, due to weak hand strength, bad back or inability to bend
- Have nonstandard limb shapes
- Have fragile skin or painful limbs that are easily aggravated by traditional compression garments
- Suffer from frequent swelling fluctuation
- Suffer from arterial disease and who cannot tolerate constant high compression levels

Large forces are afoot in the fight against obesity — and they are taking aim at sugar.
Sweets and soda pop are banned from many of the country's schools and a Quebec-based group, Weight Coalition, last month called on Parliament for stricter labelling of sugary foods and even a tax on sweetened soft drinks. Under pressure from governments and beset by studies linking childhood obesity to sweetened soft drinks, Canadian beverage companies will display the calorie count clearly on the front of drink containers.
About one in two Canadians is overweight and one in four is obese — at least 20 per cent above their ideal weight. Where there is fat there is the risk of diabetes, an underlying factor in 29 per cent of deaths.
The Society of Actuaries estimates that obesity costs Canada $30 billion annually in health costs and lost productivity.
The World Health Organization recommends that people should get no more than 10 per cent of their daily caloric intake from sugars, which include granulated table sugar and a host of syrups and sweeteners added to many beverages and processed food.
Canada's Food Guide does not include sugar in any of the recognized food groups, although it does advise Canadians to limit sugar intake.
While the government sets an upper limit for the amount of salt and fat a person should consume each day, there are no such limits on added sugar, as distinct from naturally occurring sugars such as those in fruit.
Yet sugar has replaced fat as our society's food pariah.
Implied in all the dietary hand-wringing is that sugar consumption is high and rising. The truth may surprise you.
Sugar consumption in Canada has been dropping since the 1960s, from about 33 kilos a year per person to about 24 kilos. But that top-level data obscures two important trends.
First, we have changed the way we eat sugar. Nearly 90 per cent of the sugar we eat comes to us in packaged, processed foods rather than in home cooking, as was the norm 40 or 50 years ago, according to Sandra Marsden, president of the Canadian Sugar Institute and a registered dietitian. Sugar is the most common food additive, according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Second, Statistics Canada sugar data does not includes high fructose corn syrup, which we consume in vast quantities in soft drinks.
Scientists and dietitians are split on the perceived dangers of high fructose corn syrup, some arguing that the higher fructose content interferes with the body's ability to regulate calorie intake, which leads to overeating.
Statistics Canada does not publish consumption statistics on high fructose corn syrup, although it does indicate how much soda pop we drink. After the introduction of HFCS to soft drinks in the 1980s, consumption of soft drinks rose about 40 per cent, peaking at about 96 litres a year per person in 2001.
That's roughly one can of pop a day, each containing the equivalent of 39 grams or almost 10 teaspoons of sugar. Soft drink consumption has dropped and levelled off at about 72 litres over the past 10 years, mirroring the drop in sugar consumption.
Obesity levels over the same 10-year period have increased steadily. What gives?
The cost of eating out
When it comes to dietary fixes, we prefer one well-defined enemy and we'd prefer that it isn't us.
The sad truth is the enemy probably is us. Not sugar. Not fat. But our relationships with food and with each other.
"The incidence of overweight and obesity has gone up, as has type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, but it is inappropriate to think about this in terms of single factors," says Sheila Innis, director of the nutrition and metabolism research program at the University of B.C.
Food processors under pressure to reduce fat content have substituted sweeteners and carbohydrates to compensate for the flavour that fled with fat. Over the past 50 years, Canadians have gone from eating most of their sugar in home cooking to eating almost all their sugar in packaged foods and drinks.
In the modern urban age, food often has to travel long distances and last for weeks if not months or years. People eat more convenience foods and cook less with basic ingredients.
"With those changes we have seen increases in excess body weight across all ages," Innis says. But the obesity question is far too complex to point a finger at a single food or nutrient, she says.
"We've always used sugar; it's a good energy source, it's a good way to preserve, it has a lot going for it," she says. "The amount of sugar we are eating has not changed since 1994; the way in which we use sugar has changed. Home sugar use has gone down, but the industrial use of sugar and high fructose corn syrup has replaced it."
A diet high in sugar is an indicator of the kinds of foods you are eating, Innis says. Added sugars — unlike the naturally occurring sugars in milk, fruits and vegetables — are present in high-calorie snacks, soft drinks and refined foods.
"If I am cooking at home I won't be making a can of Coke, I might be canning peaches or making an apple pie, so it's not so much the sugar as the food that it's in," she explains. "Sugar in home cooking usually comes in the context of a more nutritionally balanced diet."
The problem with sugar in soft drinks and snack foods is that they deliver calories without any essential nutrients.
"The sugar in the jam on your toast comes with fruit and wheat and protein; it's not the same as a can of pop, is it?" Innis says.
Craving or addiction?
The body's response to the sudden rise in blood sugar that accompanies a sweet in the absence of other essential nutrients borders on violence. Sugary snacks lead to a sudden rise in blood glucose and a compensating jolt of insulin, which then leads to a blood sugar crash.
"If I eat dinner and then I eat apple pie with custard, because I've eaten my sugar in the context of a meal with protein and fat and complex carbohydrate, the way in which my body handles that sugar is completely different than if all I eat is a cookie and a Coke," she says.
Despite the rough ride that sugary snacks and sweetened drinks give the body and the documented health impacts of a poorly balanced diet that is too rich in sweets, some of us just can't help ourselves. Why do we crave the rush that sugar gives us?
Part of the answer lies in the depths of human history and evolution. The abundance of food we take for granted is a relatively recent phenomenon, only a few hundred years old at most. Sugar addiction may be nothing more than the modern manifestation of an ancient evolutionary advantage.
For millennia, human survival has depended on an innate ability to take rare finds of calorie-rich foods and store that energy as fat. Sweet makes us want to eat, so we can get through the lean times.
But sugar has been with us for centuries and widespread obesity just a few decades. Again, what gives?
The scientific evidence supporting the idea of sugar addiction is scant, although some research has explored addictive behaviours associated with sugar consumption, from binging to cravings, and opined about a neurochemical basis for those effects.
Psychologist Bruce Alexander isn't so sure. Maybe sugar addicts are trying to fill another kind of void.
"We eat out of a sense of meaning," says Alexander, a professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University. Food traditions, ethnic traditions, family recipes and traditional holiday meals are all part of the glue of families and societies.
"We like to eat what makes sense to us culturally," he says.
What makes people gorge on soft drinks and junk food and generally behave like sugar addicts may be a lack of connection to well-defined social, ethnic and family groups and the food traditions that they practise.
People who self-identify as Buddhist or Chinese or as organic gardeners or who engage with learning a way of cooking that passes down through generations attach meaning to the food they eat, he says.
When we lose our connection to other people, the trouble really starts.
"Sugar addicts — or any addicts — are the people who don't have any reason to behave in a more complex way," he says. "People who do that are people who don't have a life and may as well go slug down the Twinkies and the Coke."
Food for thought.

text: Duluth, MN (KDAL) - Same sex marriage in Minnesota is now legal and several couples in Duluth became the first to tie the knot just after midnight this morning. Wedding officiants John Goldfine and Reverend Jill Bianchet married five couples just after the stroke of midnight, when Minnesota's new law allowing same sex marriage took effect. Goldfine, a retired boat captain, has married more than 200 couples in about 25 years. He chose to offer his services free of charge for those who wanted to be married first, as well as to help those who couldn't afford a wedding or who had no support from their family.

They overcame — five Baltimoreans' inspiring stories [Pictures]

92Q on-air personality Angel Carpenter( Barbara Haddock Taylor, Baltimore Sun / November 14, 2012 )
Angel Carpenter, on-air personality and DJ at 92Q FM: "There were no opportunities there just sitting waiting for you to grab ahold of," she says. "But I always knew I wasn't going to stay here in the Lafayette projects forever. I wanted to get out and be that example. So people would say, 'Hey, look at Angel. She did it. I could do it, too.'

Charming Guesthouse in a rustic and conv. LocationPosted Feb 19, 2014
Pros: Location, cleanliness, friendliness.
Cons: Excellent value for money. No improvements.
Location: Local location, felt very safe. Nr. marina/shops, bank, pigeon island/beach, gros-islet, and Rodney bay tourist area. Great place to explore from.
The stay at Tropical Breeze guesthouse and apartments was welcoming from the moment we arrived. The staff were very accommodating which facilitated an easy move into the "relaxed" Caribbean environment which was needed. All our tourist questions were answered knowledgeably by the staff and the owners provided excellent suggestions of the local area and St. Lucia in general. A very clean room, spacious bathroom and chilled out atmosphere.

Nice guest house in the right locationPosted Aug 20, 2013
Pros: I liked the friendliness and staff
Location: The location is just right from which to explore the island. There ate a few eating places nearby, Soufriere is worth a visit.
We had a nice stay at Tropical Breeze guest house. It was perfect for us. It's not a 5 star luxurious hotel, so please don't complain. If you want a nice comfortable place to stay that is away from the hustle and bustle of a town centre, then, this is your place. It is reasonably priced, the staff, especially Liston is helpful and available. The room was clean. We could use the fridge and the microwave in the main kitchen area. The guest house is in a residential road, so very quiet. Make sure you go to the Friday night street party in Gros Islet from 8pm until early hours. We eat at a restaurant called Fridays. The food was brilliant. The guest house can arrange taxis with Smartie's tours - equally nice drivers, to anywhere you wish. But as mentioned earlier, you can easily take the bus which is very cheap.

A wonderful guesthouse for someone on a budget.Posted Apr 13, 2013
Pros: The staff
I stayed for two nights here and had a wonderful time and for the price, you just can't beat it. It's closeness to the beaches/bars and restaurants I couldn't of been happier. The whole staff was beyond helpful with any questions I had. I can't recommend this place enough.

A gem of a guesthouse for a good bargain.Posted Mar 16, 2013
Pros: Tropical Breeze Guesthouse is in a nice neighborhood near a bus route and among the local people and cultures. It's clean and immaculate as well.
Cons: It's not right on a beach. The beach is walkable, but I would have preferred it to be closer to the water.
Location: The neighborhood is nice and quaint. It's near a police station so you feel safe although it's a safe neighborhood anyway.
I really enjoyed staying at the Tropical Breeze Guesthouse. The staff, Ruth, John, Sabina, Lucy and Liston were all so helpful and there for me. I feel I had a positive experience staying at a guesthouse in a local neighborhood. It was a cultural experience for me that broadened my horizons. It was charming to hear the roosters at night and in the morning, as well as seeing sheep and roosters walking around. I enjoyed it.

Ok for budget travelers-I wasn't crazy about itPosted Aug 4, 2012
Pros: Price
Cons: Dirty towels
Location: Kind of far to walk places since I was solo and didn't want to get lost at night
I saw the great reviews and so I booked but unlike other visitors I don't have as much to rave about. Service from the front desk was super slow and the made a few mistakes on my bill (though I must say the security guard was very attentive. They could not find the remote for the A/C so it was quite sticky and muggy in the room. Towels were dirty with several hairs stuck to them. The price is right if you are on a budget but be prepared to take a local bus or taxi as this place is out of the way of any places to eat. It is in a local neighborhood where the people seem friendly enough. You can bring food and cook in the apartment which did seem clean and had fresh flowers as a nice touch. I decided to move to Rodney Bay which is a bit more pricey but I personally prefer a few more creature comforts.

Pros: PRO's: Near the beach and Pigeon Island. 20 minute walk to the supermarket.
Cons: CON's: This is not a guest house for people who don't like meeting the locals (who are very friendly by the way).
If your a budget traveller you'll struggle to find anywhere cheaper. Winston the house manager was fantastic and very helpful. The cleaning Lady came everyday, so my room was always clean and tidy. Smelt a bit of moth balls which was a shame, but difficult to fault apart from that. HOT TIP: Make sure the use of the kitchen is included in the booking.

Hidden TreasurePosted Mar 23, 2012
Pros: It is bright, clean, airy , including the shared kitchen and sitting room. The upstairs rooms share a spacious balcony with views over the marina.
Cons: Nothing
Location: Gros Ilet is a small town, The Guesthouse is within easy walking distance of the shops/restaurants.
Tropical Breeze is a hidden treasure!. First impressions of its location were not good, but this proved to be mistaken. Mr&Mrs Wiggins could not have been more helpful, they took us, in their own car, shopping the evening we arrived. They were always available with advice/help in making our stay in St Lucia a success. Gros Ilet village has a selection of bars/restaurants, the "Taste of the grill" being the best we tried(not always open). the prices in the village were a fraction of the prices in the nearby tourist area of Rodney Bay, which is a 2.5 EC$ bus ride away. The Friday night "jumpup" in Gros Ilet is not to be missed. The guesthouse is an easy 5min walk from the village centre.

COVINGTON - A 77-year-old man died Friday following a one-vehicle crash on Dixie Road in east Newton County, according to the Georgia State Patrol.Robert Burgess of Mineral Bluff, formerly of Covington, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Trooper First Class Bryan Cuendet. Newton County 911 received a call about 5:49 p.m. reporting the crash. Cuendet said when he arrived, he found the victim's 1998 BMW M3 sedan on its roof. The vehicle apparently overturned after it struck a power pole guide wire, he said. Cuendet said it appeared the cause of the accident was a medical condition. An autopsy was performed and showed that Burgess suffered a heart attack, he said. Burgess was traveling alone and headed south on Dixie Road near the intersection of Ga. Highway 142 when the accident occurred. Burgess is the 10th Newton County traffic fatality victim in 2008. Rockdale Citizen staff reporter Jay Jones contributed to this story.

The APOBEC3 Gene Family as Guardians of Genome Stability in Human Embryonic Stem Cells
The APOBEC3 Gene Family as Guardians of Genome Stability in Human Embryonic Stem Cells
Funding Type:
SEED Grant

Disease Focus:
Stem Cell Use:
Embryonic Stem Cell
Public Abstract:
Statement of Benefit to California:
Progress Report:
Year 1Human embryonic stem cells contain roughly 3 million "jumping genes" or mobile genetic retroelements that comprise up to 45% of human genome. While many of these retroelements have been silenced during evolution by crippling mutations, many remain active and capable of jumping to new chromosomal locations potentially producing disease-causing mutations or cancer. In tissues, mobility of these elements is suppressed by DNA methylation, which inactivates expression of the retroelement RNAs. In sharp contrast, embryonic stem cells exhibit very dynamic changes in DNA methylation, where the methylation patterns are gained and lost at high rates. During periods of low DNA methylation, retroelement RNA expression likely increases. Accordingly, hESCs must deploy other defensive strategies in order to maintain genomic integrity. Recent studies have identified the APOBEC3 family of genes (A3A-A3H) as powerful antiviral factors. These A3s interrupt the conversion of viral RNA into DNA (reverse transcription), a key step also employed by retroelements for their successful retrotransposition. We hypothesized that one or more of the APOBECs function as guardians of genome integrity in hESCs. In the last two years we have found that six out of the seven human A3 genes located in a tandem array on chromosome 22 are expressed in hESCs. A3A, which in prior studies was suggested to exert the greatest anti-retroelement effects, surprisingly is not expressed in hESCs. Further, we find that the A3 proteins decrease when pluripotent cells differentiate into somatic cells suggesting an important function of these A3 proteins in pluripotent hESCs. We established a LINE1 retrotransposition assay in hESCs that allows us to visualize genetic jumping of this class of "marked" retroelements via flow cytometry. Using this assay we have found that LINE1 elements effectively jump in hESCs. To test our central hypothesis, namely that A3 proteins guard the genome in hESCs, we have established experimental conditions for RNAi knock-down of all expressed A3 genes. By combining the knock-down and the retrotransposition assay we demonstrated that the knock-down of one member of the A3 protein family leads to a 3.5-fold increase in LINE1 retrotranspositon. This finding highlights a protective role for the A3 family of cytidine deaminases that helps safeguard the genome integrity of hESCs.

Academy to Salute Maverick Filmmaker Hal Ashby
"Harold and Maude" to Kick Off Weekend Retrospective Screening Series
Beverly Hills, CA (June 16, 2009) — Cameron Crowe and Peter Bart will host a free-wheeling discussion with panelists including Jon Voight, Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Diablo Cody, Haskell Wexler and Jeff Berg as part of special Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences salute to Oscar®-winning film editor and director Hal Ashby on Thursday, June 25, at 7:30 p.m. at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The conversation will be followed by a screening of Ashby's 1971 bittersweet romance "Harold and Maude." The salute also will kick off a weekend retrospective screening series at the Linwood Dunn Theater, featuring five new prints of Ashby's films from the Academy Film Archive.
Ashby began his career as a film editor; he was nominated twice in the category, winning in 1967 for "In the Heat of the Night." He made his directorial debut in 1970 with "The Landlord."
Ashby applied his unconventional storytelling style to a series of films that uniquely combine the humor and pathos of everyday life within a broad range of subjects, from returning Vietnam War veterans to Hollywood hairdressers.
In 1978 Ashby was nominated for directing the anti-war drama "Coming Home," a film that received eight Academy Award® nominations and went on to win three Oscars® including Actor in a Leading Role and Actress in a Leading Role for Voight and Jane Fonda. Ashby died in 1988.

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon vetoed a bill that would have allowed teachers to carry guns in the classroom. However, some local superintendents say they don't need the state's permission to arm teachers or other staff.
There are no set plans to allow staff members to carry weapons, but two local superintendents say they're looking into it. It's called dual employment. It would be a pretty long process, but administrators say it's possible with or without a new law.
The Poplar Bluff School District has ten campuses and only two school police officers.
"For us to add a school resource officer at every campus, we probably aren't going to be able to do that within our budget," said Superintendent Chris Hon.
Hon said that's why the board is talking about another option.
"Instead of adding a staff of 40-50 thousand dollars, maybe you could take an employee that you have, it wouldn't have to be a teacher; it could be other staff members, if they were licensed security guards to carry weapons," Hon said.
This means, the school could have dual employees, staff members who are also trained security guards.
It's something one parent of two Poplar Bluff students said she's all for.
"The only way we can protect our children is to allow trained teachers to conceal and carry firearms," said Michelle Crutchfield.
Poplar Bluff isn't the only Butler County school thinking about this option.
"In rural schools, it's very common for people to do more than one job." said Brad Hagood, superintendent at Neelyville.
Hagood said his main concern is how far the school is from police.
"We are about 15 miles or so from county law enforcement," Hagood said.
He said having someone in the building to protect students would give him peace-of-mind.
"Arresting power, we don't need that. We just need someone that can be a first responder that, when law enforcement does show up, then we can back off," Hagood said.
Still, Hagood said there are still steps to take, like checking with the school's insurance provider.
"Are they still going to be willing to cover us, if we allow that?" Hagood said.
Both superintendents agree, community input would have to come first.
"We still have local control and whatever or community decides to do in this issue, our board will listen," Hon said.
Superintendent Hon said he knows about other Missouri schools that have taken this approach in adding extra security. Still, Hon and Hagood say there is still a lot to consider before it happens in Butler County.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank
"At the moment, building capital and adjustments for new regulatory requirements take priority," Krause told the paper in response to a question about dividends. "As soon as this has been completed, dividends which were lowered during the crisis, will once again rise."
Deutsche Bank is under pressure to meet a bank safety rule known as the leverage ratio which penalizes lenders with large balance sheets.
One way to improve a bank's capital position is to reduce the assets on its balance sheet. Krause reiterated Deutsche will cut about 250 billion euros worth of assets from the balance sheet.

North Dakota State University's Carlton Littlejohn and Grant Olson two of 35 student-athletes named to the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) FCS Linebacker Watch List announced June 10 by executive director Brad Smith.
Littlejohn, a 6-foot-1, 219-pound junior from Minneapolis, Minn. (North Community H.S.), was third on the team with 86 tackles from his Sam linebacker position including 10 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. He had a pair of interceptions and blocked a field goal in the 23-20 win over Georgia Southern in the NCAA FCS semifinals last year.
Olson, a 6-foot, 222-pound senior from Plymouth, Minn. (Wayzata H.S.), led the Bison with 148 tackles from his middle linebacker position including 51 solos, 11.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, a pair of fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. He set a school record with 29 tackles in the 14-7 win over Wofford College in the NCAA FCS quarterfinals last season.
Littlejohn and Olson are the sixth and seventh Bison players to earn a spot on the 2013 CFPA Watch Lists this spring, following quarterback Brock Jensen, running back Sam Ojuri, tight end Kevin Vaadeland, and defensive ends Kyle Emanuel and Cole Jirik. Two NDSU players have previously earned CFPA annual honors: 2010 CFPA Punter Award winner John Prelvitz and 2011 CFPA Defensive Back Award winner Marcus Williams.
All CFPA recipients are selected exclusively based upon objective scientific rankings of the extent to which individual players increase the overall effectiveness of their teams. All players are eligible for awards at their respective positions; players are not preemptively eliminated from consideration.
North Dakota State opens the 2013 season on Aug. 30 at Kansas State, televised nationally on Fox Sports 1.

text: SUPERIOR, WI (KDAL) - The planned closure of the Duluth bound lanes of the Bong Bridge on March 1st has been delayed until the 5th of May. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says the bridge project will be getting underway as scheduled but it will require just single lane closures in each direction for the first two months. The westbound lanes will then close until November this year and the eastbound lanes are expected to be closed during the 2015 construction season. The DTA is also postponing the Bong Bridge detour for their buses until May.

As of Friday, June 8, 2012

Albany Fire Department firefighters are finishing up their response to an apartment fire caused by unattended cooking at 2507 Redwood Court off of Stuart Avenue. The fire started about 3:15 p.m. In the four-apartment building, Apartment 4 had damage to its kitchen, Apartment 3 had heavy smoke in it, and a cat and dog were rescued from the smoke. The dog's name, which looked like a tan Chihuaha mix, was Dakota. The solid-gray cat's name was Smokey. No injuries were reported and the Albany Police Department is handling traffic control.

I can see now why so many people eat out a lot, not smart enough not to leave the stove unattended. This seems to happen every other day.

in Lee County, the fire service is so slow - the whole house burns down; in Dougherty, at least they put out the fire quickly.

Nice sling for the money and if your a little rough it will take it.
Very nice and does what I needed.
Excellent sling for a decent price.
I have two heavy rifles, a DPMS AR-10 and a custom .308. Both were a chore to carry during my long walks to my favorite hunting stands. I purchased two of these slings. The shoulder pad is wide and grips my hunting jacket, preventing me from having to fight with the constant slippage that I formerly had to deal with due to the heavy barrels of both rifles. The sling fits easily into my argo pockets when i arrive at my stand. Excellent product, great value!

Fairfax, Va. -- A man suspected in more than a dozen incidents at retail stores in Fairfax, Virginia has been captured in Peru, authorities said.
Johnny D. Guillen, known as the "Corta Nalgas" -- or "butt cutter" -- was captured Friday in Lima, according to Jair Quedas, system operator for Interpol Peru.
Authorities in the United States were looking for Guillen for allegedly cutting the buttocks of 13 young women, according to America Noticias, Peruvian local television.
Authorities say in all cases Guillen distracts the women in their teens or early 20s, then slashes them on their behind.
Fairfax County Police in Virginia posted on its website that the man -- whom it identifies as Johnny D. Guillen Pimentel -- is suspected in a series of attacks that took place between February 2011 and July 2011.
In one incident, officers responded to a report of a woman who suffered a 1 1/2 inch wound to her buttocks at a Forever 21 store on July 25.
"The 18-year-old victim was shopping when she noticed clothes that had fallen off of a rack behind her and saw a man bending down to pick them up," police said. "She abruptly felt a sharp pain and considered that one of the hangers had struck her. A short time later, she discovered her denim shorts had been slashed; her buttocks had been cut and were bleeding."
Surveillance video shows a man believed to be Guillen entering the Marshall's at the Greenbriar Shopping Center June 20, police said.
The latest victim to come forward says she didn't realize the cut she suffered June 8 at a T.J. Maxx was an attack.
Initially, she thought she'd been cut by a clothes hanger, police said.
Similar to other reports, "the victim turned around, saw a man picking up pieces of clothing and thought she may have been cut by one of the hangers," police said. "When the woman returned home, she discovered cuts in her clothing."Copyright © 2014, Sun Sentinel

"These labels are simple and elegant, and with my daughter and her fiance living together it made address labels easy because you don't have to have a last name on them"
"I absolutely love these wrap around labels. They are one of a kind and I was able to customize them to my exact wants. Instead of saying 'the marriage of' I was able to have them changed to say 'save the date'. I was also able to have them printed in a charcoal grey to match my wedding colors. I just love them!"
"Great color and text. A bit larger than I was imaging (they are about 2 in wide and 1 in tall), so I am going to use them on the back of the small envelopes for my save the dates. But overall I am very happy with them!"
"I ordered return address labels for my wedding invitations. The process was quick and the labels looked exactly how described. I am so happy with how they turned out."
"I love how well our cards & labels turned out! Not only did they turn out great but they arrived so fast. I will definitely be ordering our wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas!"

The Butler County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about a diluted blacktop sealer scam being reported around the area.
Sheriff Richard Jones said contact with the victim usually begins with a knock on the door or unsolicited phone call. The scammer offers to provide products or services at a cheap price because there is some excess material from a previous job.
Jones said the product is usually dispensed out of a plastic or metal tank from the back of a pickup
Victims reported that even though the finished job looked great at first, the sealer product was diluted or watered down so much that is washes away. By the time the victim realizes
the problem, Jones said the worker and the victim's money are "long gone."
After investigating multiple complaints, the sheriff's office said the
sealer product is normally diluted by about 25 percent according to
instructions. However, it appears that some scammers have
been diluting the product by 75 to 100 percent.
In addition, Jones believes some local product suppliers are telling
their customers to dilute the product to those extremes as well.
"I am
investigating right now on the possibility of criminal charges for suppliers
who knowingly make such an inferior mixture," said Jones. "I don't know who's worse – the supplier that
helps mix up the inferior product, or the scammer that sells it to an
unsuspecting victim. To me, that
supplier has to be just as guilty. If I
can't find an existing law that addresses this particular problem, I'll push
for new legislation. This is just a big
Jones warns customers should always be exceptionally cautious if
someone approaches you first and offers a "good deal" for a quick
repair or service. Get two or three bids for work, as well as agreements in writing, identification from workers and license numbers for any vehicles involved in completing the work.
In addition, ask where the sealer mixture was purchased. If it turns out to be a
bad mix, report it to the Butler County Sheriff's Office at (513) 785-1000.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks fell Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -1.40% and the S&P 500 index SPX, -1.32% tallying their first weekly drop in four, as investors fretted over the lack of a budget deal. Apple Inc. AAPL, -1.56% led the technology sector lower after UBS AG cut its price estimate for shares of the consumer technology company. The absence of a comprehensive fiscal policy "is confounding investors and certainly businesses," said Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager for The Private Client Reserve, a division of U.S. Bank Wealth Management. Down 0.2% for the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 35.71 points, or 0.3%, to 13,135.01. The S&P 500 shed 5.87 points, or 0.4%, to 1,413.58, off 0.3% from the prior Friday's close.

I used the November Willow Creek kit. I LOVE that kit!Do you have yours yet? It comes with this yummy distress stain by Ranger.
I did a little technique with it - see my leaves?
Check out my blog post today at Noel Mignon to see close up shots, how I did what I did
& while you're there - go get yourself that kit! You'll thank me later.
p.s. isn't that pic of my sweet great niece, presley the CUTEST!
I shot that on my iPhone as we were about to leave. I love her little
face. She's the most darling child!
I need to run - the store is calling my name!I'll be back soon. I may or may not have some fun news to share soon.
have a great day!
