Renters, How Do You Battle Cable-Forced Room Layouts?
Having just been apartment shopping not too long ago, we are fresh to the notion that one of the most important things to consider in a candidate for a new space is the location of power outlets and cable connections in the room layout. Especially small spaces where there's one cable jack—and that means only one spot to easily wire up the entertainment center...
What if the furniture you use for your media center is too tall and wide to fit well in this most unfair forced media nook (Which was basically my exact experience)? Or what if you just want to lay out your space differently than what the designers had in mind when they wired your place up?
Now obviously, you can pick up an extension cord and move the television wherever you damn well please in your own home, but then you're faced with Unplggd's favorite challenge of what in the world to do with the ugly cord that snakes across the room.
You could try to work the cord along the walls and tuck it under the edge of the carpet or staple it just above same-colored baseboards. But then there's a problem if you run into doorways to cross over with the wire. You could run the cord from point A to point B and cover the new room-bisecting wire with a floor rug or lay out your furniture on top of it, but you're not likely to completely hide the eyesore.
Or, like me, you could just give in, buy a new TV stand that fits the space and put the TV where the cable connection is. What's your solution to cable-connection-forced room layouts? Do you fight the power(cord)? Or do you chill out and let the wires fall where they may?

the one place i lived didn't care if you drilled holes all over the place and the cable guys did it too, so it run internet to our rooms there were holes in the corners with the cables coming out.
My new place is a lot nicer though and in the living room they actually put cable jacks on both of the main walls so you can arrange as you please.
When we switched from cable to satellite, we used the installation as an opportunity to reorient the living room.
I run long cables and tuck them against the corner of the wall.
I recently went through this having moved into a new flat the couches were huge and did not provide an adequate viewing distance for the HDTV. I ended up modelling the whole room and furniture in google sketch-up. It was then easy to figure out a layout that was conducive to a decent viewing distance, without having to shift furniture around!
I love my "charming" old apartment-- really I do-- but my cable-forced room layout is also influenced by the presence of a radiator and which of the electrical outlets are grounded. Rearranging (which I have done once since moving in) is like putting together a puzzle!
I have floor-length curtains on the windows that help hide the extension cords. Fortunately (?) it's a small room.
If you're planning on staying for awhile you can hire a third party contractor, i.e. *not* from the cable company, to come out and install another outlet. Make sure that the location is discreet and the plate cover matches the ones already in your apartment.
When I moved in, the only connection was in the dining room! I found a guy with references on craigslist and he added an outlet in the living room for under $100.
My apartment came with an extra 5m of coaxial coming out of the wall, and I don't have cable. I'm on 100% internet tv. The coaxial just kind of sits there, behind the furniture, lonely...
We ran an extension about 6 feet, to a vaguely acceptable location - I really want it on the opposite wall, across the fireplace and front door, but there is no acceptable way to get the cable there without drilling through a 4" concrete slab...
I live in a 1924 building in San Francisco, where the cable enters the unit near the window in my dininutive dining room. First, I mounted a splitter near the window on the baseboard trim. From there, I run a cable up the wall to a small shelf, to my cable modem and wireless router. From the other "OUT" connection on the splitter I run nearly 75' of coaxial above the baseboard and over/around two door frames to cover the roughly 20' from the splitter to the television. It was a chore to run the cable properly, but cable itself is relatively cheap. With enough of it and a staple gun to keep the cable in place, you can get around to virtually any location you want. At it's terminus near the cable box, I've got another splitter. If I ever want or need to move my cable modem, I've got a connection on that end of the studio for the cable.
I'm considering canceling my cable to save money. I dream of madly slicing up and removing every square inch of cable from the apartment, patching and painting over every single hole they made in the walls and making the place look as though there had never been cable there. Then, I imagine innocently calling the cable company in six months and signing up for cable. This time I would be there when they installed it and insist that they put it in reasonable places!
My downstairs neighbor would be grateful, as the cable comes into her apartment through the floor and continues up the side wall of her closet to my floor. Whose idea was that?
I think it's ok to have your cable box away from your TV, if that's an issue you're dealing with. It may work anyway, to have your media components in a cabinet near where the coax comes into your apartment.
Then you can run your HDMI and other wires through the walls (or behind a faux-molding) toward your tv. As long as the media center/cable box is still accessible for the remote, then who cares where it is.
The only issue I would see of this is I swear I can only find HDMI cables at a maximum of 6' lengths.
When I for about 6 months had cable, I had to get lengths of cable and string along the baseboards to connect up 2 TV's as I only had one cable connection on the north wall by the north window and that's the wall where the electric baseboard heat is as well so that was not a conducive spot.
I simply bought a short piece, about 3" or so, added a splitter and about 6 Ft to the TV in the living room and 20" or so into the bedroom and I was fortunate that I was able to simply route it along the baseboard, into the doorway of the bedroom, along the back of the closet before entering ouit and along the north wall of the bedroom before terminating at that TV.
Today with digital transmission, I can get my local stations with ease where as with analog, I could barely get 3 of the 8 or so local stations. Right now I have a pair of rabbit ears at both TV's and will get an amplified antenna and use the existing cable run to distribute it
I forgot to add that the cable connection was in the living/dining room.
First, I think rapunzel's idea is evil genius!!!
I had this problem in my last place, so I bought matching baseboard and took it and a cable sample to a local woodshop, they routed out the material I didn't need on the wrong side of the baseboard. I was able to hide the cable from its entry point in the house to the new place where I wanted the TV, by placing it behind the baseboard, it took about a day's monkeying around to buy supplies - get the work done - install it, for under $50 including the woodshop's time (saw Tommy Silva do something similar on TOH so that was my inspiration). There was still a 5" piece showing at one end, so I painted it the same color as the wall, and I had a chair sitting in front so it was very hard to see that remainder.
Yah, we have wires running all over the place. Cable, surround sound, extension cords. Even better, there is a doorway practically on every wall. I just run them along the baseboards with those 3M hooks and try to ignore it.
I have my cable running into the back of my computer (has a cable tuner card) that sits in my closet.
My XBOX360 is connected to the network wirelessly, and will stream cable to my Television.
Pretty involved for the technically unsavvy, but it works for me :)

The Miami Heat managed to even their NBA Finals series against the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night, but while the players currently on the roster are preparing for Game 3 this week, a guy not on the roster is already lobbying to be there when the 2013-14 season begins. The NBA Teammate of the Year and current free agent Chauncey Billups said on Sunday that he wants to join the Miami Heat next year.
"Of course, I would have interest in Miami, of course,'' Billups told FOX Sports Florida. "Absolutely, I could help them.'
And to Billups wanting to join the Heat as a veteran next year, I say join the line. I'd take a job coming off the bench for the Heat if they offered it and every person interested in winning easy would do the same.
The Heat seems to be content with the production they've seen out of both their current point guards which means if Billups came to South Beach he'd be playing a very reserve role with the team. Still, the Heat love their veterans and continuing to find the balance between youth and wisdom and leveling it with talent has put them in the NBA Finals for three straight years now.
Where the situation could get serious is the fact Billups and the Heat have flirted before, as Miami went after Billups when he was amnestied by the New York Knicks shortly after the 2011 Lockout was ended. The Los Angeles Clippers ended up outbidding the Heat in the minor sweepstakes, but now that he's a free agent and willing to come to Miami at likely a reduced salary in order to win a title, Billups and the Heat may finally come together as one.

trying trying trying
so i re-read the post i made yesterday about being 'sad' so i didn't work out and i swear i felt so pathetic so today i got off my bitch ass and worked out because feeling sorry for myself and having a pity party is not gonna help me lose weight, i need to actually do shit to get shit done. yayyy me :)
- i've stopped watching Girls; it's gotten boring tbh
- i haven't worked out since Monday. i've just been really sad.
- i swear i will fucking lose my mind if i don't lose weight before London.
- i'm obsesssed with Thrift Shop by Macklemore OMGG
- i've started to write more, ya know, just jotting down ideas when they come into my head. i really wanna keep doing it (my secret goal, not so secret now i guess, is to publish a couple of books)
- whenever i get cute anon messages i always think it's the one friend i know irl who knows about this blog.
- i'm really getting better with my eating thank God. even though i've been down i haven't been comfort eating/devouring everything in sight when i get home.
- this has been an update.
if anyone wants my personal message me! (i'm on there more often anyway)
also i ate like crap all day today and i don't plan on working out. some family has come to stay with us for a few days and the house is too crowded but tomorrow we go to the beach! YES it's so sad i live in an island but only get to the beach like once or twice a year.
two separate posts about girl scouts/thin mints just appeared on my dash right below each other reblogged by two diff people.
also today i realised i've never had a twinkie and now i will never have one
also i am getting smaller (my legs and stomach especially thank you God!) but my weight is barely moving and its so frustrating wow
also i finished the fault in our stars and omfg it was so good and so sad i teared up in my office
also going through my archive from when i first started i was the quintessential summer blogger wowow
almost forgot to make this post!
i haven't been on in a while blah blah what's new?
ANYWAY, i worked out 6 days this week! Tomorrow is my rest day. THIS IS A REALLY BIG DEAL. i started this blog in the beginning of 2011 and lost 20 pounds half-assing 2011 then gained most of it back in 2012 blah blah
and this has been the first week in 2 years that i've actually set out to work out 6 days and actually do it. THE FIRST FUCKING TIME WOW (i hope my weigh-in tomorrow reflects this) also, i haven't been eating as much junk as usual! YAY usually i get home from work and am on my lappy till i go to bed and am just aimlessly eating for like 7 hours but i tried this week not to do that. so i feel like my portions were good, maybe not the content so much (but working on it definitely!)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Police in St. Matthews say a gang of women stole wallets from hospitals and doctors' offices and went on a spending spree.
Detective Tony Ford told WAVE-TV (http://bit.ly/Xvy56F ) in Louisville the thieves are coming out of stores with shopping carts full of merchandise, including electronics.
Police said the group has been traveling in a Ford Windstar van with a missing hubcap. They have been seen on surveillance video from stores, but have not been apprehended.
The thieves walk into nurses' stations at hospitals and into doctors' offices, looking for purses.
An employee of a cosmetic surgery practice said her wallet was taken and $4,000 was charged to her credit cards and pulled from her bank account.

I picked up this Barbara Daly loose powder as an emergency face powder when I was in the UK for Christmas and had run out of my usual Urban Decay Razor Sharp Finishing Powder. The only shop within reasonable driving distance was a huge Tesco.
I love shopping for cosmetics in supermarkets... It's the thrill of browsing lesser-known brands, mixed with the convenience of being able to pick a little something up with my groceries. Barbara Daly Make-up is exclusive to Tesco, but it's rare to find a Tesco that stocks it, so I was excited to finally see it out in the wild.
The description of this powder is:
Our ultra-light, non-caking, non-drying finishing powder gives a natural, translucent finish.
Barbara Daly Super sheer loose powder is ultra-fine and silky smooth, containing light-diffusing particles to give skin a flawless finish. A must-have for your make-up bag, its soft formula is great for setting your make-up, reducing the appearance of pores and giving a flawless, professional finish.
The packaging is very... compact. At only 3.5g, it's pretty small for a powder. It comes with a mirror in the lid, and a small, square-shaped puff which is too small to be effective. I did try, but it was literally impossible to get any powder on my face with it. I might as well have been dabbing powder on using two fingers... that's how tiny it is.
The powder is dispensed through holes which can easily be covered and uncovered by twisting the stopper.
The powder feels ultra-light, as described. It's not quite as fine as Urban Decay Razor Sharp Finishing Powder but it is still notably fine and silky. The powder is pale to the eye, but is designed to be translucent (although I think it may be more visible on dark skin).
This powder goes on invisible on my skin with no chalkiness. I just lightly brush it on for an immediate mattified and airbrushed finish. The description mentions "light-diffusing particles" but I was happy to find that there are no shimmer particles in this powder.
It works really well over my Amarté Natural Finish BB Cream, and doesn't leave an obvious "powdered" look.
While this powder stops my face looking full-on shiny for most of the day (it diffuses the shine so it doesn't look as "oily"), I find that I need to blot with a tissue around my nose within a few hours if I want to maintain a truly matte appearance. It doesn't hold up to oil as much as a silica and silicone-heavy powder (e.g. Urban Decay Razor Sharp, or ELF HD Powder), but I still think it performs well.
I find I can re-apply this powder later in the day without it caking or changing colour.
This powder was only £7, but I'd put the quality up with any premium branded loose powders. I would say it's perfect for anyone who wants a finishing powder that doesn't leave a powdery or cakey finish, and who doesn't need aggressive oil-control.
I only wish the packaging was better. Although at a glance it's perfect - neat and tidy, contains an applicator and has a mirror - it's difficult to get enough powder out of the little holes, and the puff is just too small to be useful. I find it easier to just move the powder to another loose powder compact. I have a really old refillable loose powder compact from Bare Escentuals which I use all the time for loose powder.
Other than the packaging, this loose powder is fantastic and I'd recommend checking it out next time you're in a big Tesco or on Tesco.com.
The full ingredients of Barbara Daly Super Sheer Loose Powder are:
Talc, Silica, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Ethylene/MA Copolymer, Mica, Zeolite, Methylparaben, Iron Oxide Yellow, Iron Oxide, Sorbic Acid, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Phenoxyethanol, Propylparaben, Tetrasodium EDTA, Butylparaben, CI 77499, Orchis Mascula, Cyclopentasiloxane, BHT

Introducing Lodge Logic: Ready-to-use cast-iron cookware, pre-seasoned for consistent performance!
For more than 100 years, Lodge has been perfecting the process of making cast-iron cookware, formulating the perfect metal chemistry to create durable cookware with incredible heat retention and distribution. In the past, the seasoning process was never complete until someone cooked countless batches of fried chicken, catfish and cornbread in the pan or pot to burnish it to a black patina, creating a piece of cookware that could be handed down like an heirloom. Lodge Logic removes the waiting, thanks to a newly-developed seasoning process. Lodge's electrostatic spray system applies a proprietary vegetable oil combination to deeply penetrate the pores of the iron. The result? Seasoned cast-iron cookware from Lodge you can use it right out of the box.

Alistair goes to Vegas for the UFC 146 press conference and has a media tour with champion JDS. After he arrives at his new place in Miami where everything is going fine, then all of a sudden some bad news comes in.
"I greatly respect the commission; I respect their decision. They come across as gentlemen and gentlewomen, very respectful, very understanding of the situation."
"Basically, we're going to be out for nine months, but I consider myself a clever guy. I'm going to get stronger from this, I'm going to keep training, and I'll be back in nine months. I'm still going to get that belt."

The push to start the program came from a Hanford assessment that many of their project managers are reaching retirement age.
A Department of Energy grant is making the program possibleThe grant will give five million dollars over the next five years to CBC and WSU Tri-Cities. A majority of the money will go to CBC to run their Project Management program. About a third of the funding will go to WSU Tri-Cities for Nuclear Engineering and Health and Safety certificates.
"When you're dealing with multi-millions of dollars in federal money with high demands for things like environmental clean-up, you've got to have skilled people in order to deliver the projects within scope and on budget, to live within our means as well as to meet the commitments," says Rodney Gadd, Project Management instructor.
CBC plans to offer short courses, one year certificate and two and four year degrees in Project Management.
Gadd told me the program is already very popular and they had to expand the class size for this fall. CBC is accepting student on an ongoing basis and also has scholarship funds available for these classes.

Ellsworth Mayor Tasha Domeyer has confirmed the water in Ellsworth has been tested and is deemed safe for consumption. Domeyer said when the city lost power, the water treatment facility was also affected due to a lack of a generator. Nitrates built, causing the water to be declared unfit to drink.
Power was restored Friday, but it took time to process the water and eliminate nitrates. Recent testing showed the water is now safe to drink.

ORLANDO, Fla. (WDRB) -- How similar is Manhattan coach Steve Masiello's coaching style to Louisville coach Rick Pitino's? With their teams scheduled to meet Thursday at 9:50 p.m. in the NCAA Midwest Regional, the men got up at their separate press conferences Wednesday and told the same joke."We changed everything this week," said Masiello, who has served as assistant coach, player and even ball boy to Pitino. "We're not pressing at all, we're putting the triangle‑and‑two, box‑and‑one or one‑three‑one, we're running all five‑out motion, so we are going to run a whole new style that we've implemented, so anything he's seen on film, just scratch it."
Unbeknownst to Masiello, a few hours earlier, Pitino said, "We've changed almost every attack we have for this game. We've changed all our plays and calls and defenses because we know he knows us so well. So if I was him, I would just be thinking a lot and not sleep because of all of the changes we are making."It's a cute storyline, if you don't happen to be involved. But frankly for Pitino it wasn't funny. He was upset on Selection Sunday, but it had nothing to do with his team's seed. He hadn't spoken to the media until sitting behind the NCAA podium Wednesday, and even three days later was a little rankled when talking about it. He said playing Manhattan bothers him.A lot of us thought he was upset at being a No. 4 seed. Instead, he was upset at having to play against Masiello. And to understand that, you have to understand how he follows his former assistant. If he watched every Minnesota game his son, Richard, coached this season, he also watched every Manhattan game. At a press conference a little while back, he was asked if he'd watched U of L's women play at Connecticut. No, he said, he'd watched Manhattan beat Iona.At this stage of his life, Pitino has begun to pour himself into some of these people he helped bring into the business. The unabashed affection he voiced for Masiello and Billy Donovan Wednesday makes that unmistakable."I think that sometimes committees make poor decisions in who they put you against because Manhattan, I happened to work with the young man (Masiello) for six years, coached him at Kentucky," Pitino said. "He was my ball boy at the Knicks. And I don't think that's right for either one of us. I think the pairings sometimes lack common sense. . . . I'm okay with the seedings, I'm not okay with the match‑ups. But the selection committee is very fair, very honorable, very honest people, so I can't protest too much because they're doing the best job that they can do. Maybe they're a bunch of soccer ADs, I don't know."Masiello understood what he was talking about."All I cared about was where Manhattan was going (Selection Sunday), and once I saw Manhattan come up, the next thing I was worried about was where Coach Pitino and Louisville were going, and I was going to cheer my tail off for them, wherever they went," Masiello said. "To see them come up and then see us come up against them, it takes a little fun out of it because this is fun. This is basketball. This is great. And it took a little fun out of it because it went from being a great story for me, that I'm living out, to now I've got to take all my emotion, so now I can't call Coach Pitino for advice, now I can't rely on him to give me some pointers, and it just became business, because now I have to go against the one guy that means so much to me."I would have played any of the 67 teams and been fine with it because there's no emotion involved, not because of the basketball aspect, because they're terrific teams, but the emotion is what makes it hard, and you have to cut that off right away," Masiello said. "So that's why I was just upset about it. For the media, it's great. For the fans I'm sure it's great. For everyone else, and I can't speak for Coach, but for me, there's so many emotional attachments involved to Coach Pitino from where I come from going back to 1989, it's just that's not fun for me going against someone that I have to try to ‑‑ now try to beat and almost in my mind think negatively about. It's hard for me to do that."The coaches aren't the only ones who had a bit of a hard time thinking about it. You don't have to make a trip over to Fantasyland for a mind-blowing exercise in Orlando this weekend. Just head over to the Amway Center.Just think about how history might have changed had Russ Smith done what Pitino originally wanted him to do after his freshman season -- transfer to Manhattan.No Final Four in 2012. No NCAA Championship in 2013. No Russdiculous. Or memories. Or Smith's particular brand of madness.Masiello couldn't help but think about that -- and many other things -- when he saw Louisville's name pop up opposite his own team's in the Midwest Regional on Selection Sunday."Do I wish we had Russ Smith?" Masiello said with a smile, noting that he and Smith's dad talk all the time. "I'd love to have Russ Smith play for me. That being said, I don't think either of us would change one thing with the way it's gone. He's turned out to be the best college basketball player in the country, definitely the best guard. He's going down as maybe the all‑time winningest player to ever wear a Louisville uniform. He's responsible for them going to two Final Fours. I think he's brought a new side to Coach Pitino, back from a fun and love and just a kind of having‑fun attitude, and I think we've developed some very good guards at our place where I don't know if Russ was there if (we would have). . . . So I think both of us wouldn't change a thing, but it would have been some story had it have happened."It's a story Pitino doesn't like to think about, especially when he talks about Smith now, and what Smith has meant to him, and to his career, and to U of L's program."He's still the same lovable character he was when he first came in," Pitino said. "He has made it so enjoyable for me for four years in coaching him. He's brought such laughter into my life. He's brought so many great memories into my life. . . . His innocence is something to behold, that he's just such an innocent young man even though he's from the streets of Brooklyn, and to still have that innocence is an amazing thing to me. He's just been so enjoyable to coach. I could leave tomorrow and say, boy, I just had so many great experiences coaching one person. His laughter in tense situations is just great. I don't know how Steve can scout him. I don't know how any opponent can scout him because he pays no attention to what I want him to do."Smith's emotions are wrapped up in both teams, too."Their guys are extremely talented," Smith said. "I know each one of the guys on their team personally. (Ashton) Pankey was at Maryland, and I know (George) Beamon was one of the guys just like me who was under recruited, and he's from AAU. I played AAU ball with Rhamel Brown. He was under‑recruited, as well. Mikey Alvarado played in my league at All Hallows. He was under‑recruited as well. So a bunch of those guys on that team, even a guy like RaShawn Stores who's my cousin, under recruited as well. . . . I look at their team and I see a mirror-image of our team. And I look at those guys and I see myself."Both coaches made light of scouting the other. Masiello took the podium and said, "I don't know anything about them." Pitino said, "I am afraid of playing him. He's known every, single thing I've done since I've been 28. . . . Steve runs everything we run. He presses like we press. His offenses are the same, his out‑of‑bounds plays are the same. The only thing he does differently is he wears ridiculous suits. Outside of that, we're one and the same. He comes out with ‑‑ he must go to Madison Avenue and just come out with the newest things all the time. I don't know where he gets the tuxedo look with the roundabout lapels and everything. He's hanging around Little Italy too much."But while they're laughing, the game isn't quite as easy as it might have been, for a coach who wanted to root for his protege's first NCAA Tournament win, and the young coach who will try to get it, against a man he owes nearly everything.Copyright 2014 WDRB News.

If you don't opt in, your debit card could be declined if you're out of money. But you won't pay a bank fee.
This post comes from Mark Huffman at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
Chances are you've gotten a friendly letter or two from your bank in recent weeks, urging you to "opt in" to overdraft protection so "you can continue to enjoy" the service.
Here's why: The last of a series of new federal overdraft rules goes into effect Sunday, Aug. 15, after which banks can no longer automatically include customers in an overdraft "protection" plan that smacks them with a hefty fee when the bank makes good on a debit or ATM card overdraft.
Those who decide not to opt in will have their cards declined when a debit or ATM transaction would overdraw their account, but will not pay a fee.
A new website offers special account services to the wealthy. Example: An alarm to parents if children spend family fortunes too quickly.
Any kid can open a regular ho-hum checking account, but one major bank is testing special online account services for the offspring of the very wealthy.
Bloomberg reports: "Heirs to Citigroup's wealthiest clients can log in to parent-funded accounts for discretionary spending, investments and 'one-click giving' to charities."
One of the primary goals, according to Tile Financial, which developed the tool, is -- and we are loosely paraphrasing here -- to help build customer loyalty with the tykes so they'll leave the money where it is when Mom and Dad go to the big bank vault in the sky. The online service is offered only to the children of clients of Citi's Private Bank. (If you have to ask what that is, you can't afford it.) Post continues after video:
Online deal sites are sweetening deals on everything from gym socks to dorm fridges.
Well, summer's almost over -- sorry, kids, it is -- and online deal sites are offering some extra incentives, from higher cash-back shopping rates to 31 free iPads.
Deals and freebies include Dora's birthday party, 2-for-1 movie tickets, yet more free smoothies and 39-cent tacos.
With summer winding down, you may want to take advantage of your last weekend or two before school starts to engage in some free or cheap fun.
Entry to all 392 U.S. national parks is free this weekend, Aug. 14-15. The National Park Service also notes that admission to many of our national parks is always free. Admission to national parks that charge a fee also will be free on Public Lands Day, which is Sept. 25, and Veterans Day, which is Nov. 11.
If you live in the sort of climate where only the mosquitoes would enjoy visiting national parks this weekend, perhaps indoor activities would be a better choice.
A North Carolina company has a new product called WedLock, which aims to defray the costs of a breakup.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
First there was wedding insurance, which reimburses you for lost deposits and other expenses in the event your wedding is canceled because of a death in the family, dangerous weather or other unforeseen circumstances. (We've explained it several times in the past, most recently a couple of months ago.)
Now there's divorce insurance. A North Carolina insurance startup called SafeGuard Guaranty Corp. has begun selling policies under the name WedLock. (Clever, but shouldn't that be wed-unlock?)
You've been told that you never have to pay for these things, but let's examine the bottom line.
This guest post comes from Len Penzo at Len Penzo dot Com.
Who doesn't love a free lunch? I know I've never turned one down.
If you believe everything you read on the Internet (as well you should), then there are a lot of products and services out there you should never pay for.
I know because I read about it here. And here. Oh, and here too.
The problem is, "never" is such a strong word, isn't it?
Compounding the matter, "free" is also a bit of a dicey term. And, while I've never turned down a free lunch, I also realize that, in reality, there's no such thing as a free, er, lunch.
So, with that in mind, here is my take on some of the products and services we've been told we should never ever pay a single penny for (post continues after video):
Lenders trying to collect billions of dollars in home equity loans face major obstacles. The battle rages: Is it right or wrong for borrowers to bail?
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Think back to 2007. Remember all those hot tubs, granite countertops, boats, cars, vacations and master bath additions that you saw your $50,000-a-year-earning neighbors amassing? Maybe you were amassing a little bit of that bling, too.
How did everybody finance it? Home equity loans and lines of credit, of course.
Now, the bills are due, and Americans are walking away from mountains and mountains of that home equity debt.
Back-to-school budgeting is a good place to start the lessons. You're prepared to buy notebooks and your kid expects an e-reader.
Your back-to-school shopping list for your teen may include pencils, notebooks and a couple pairs of jeans, but she has other ideas: She wants a cell phone, computer or e-reader.
Can she spell "only if you spend your own money"?
Capital One's annual back-to-school survey found some differences in expectations between teens and parents about back-to-school shopping.

A soldier who lost both of his legs while fighting in Afghanistan returned home to Sardis City Friday morning.
Army Cavalry Scout Corey Garmon was injured when an IED detonated while he was patrolling in Afghanistan in July. The injury cost Garmon both his legs.
The 24-year-old has been recovering at Walter Reed Medical Center in Maryland, but now he is home.
Garmon arrived at Huntsville International Airport at 10 a.m. He then made his way to Sardis City for a homecoming event at the Sardis Senior Citizens Center.
Law enforcement and the Patriot Guard gave Corey escorts through Guntersville, Albertville, and Boaz.
Garmon is a graduate of Sardis High School.
The Albertville Chamber of Commerce prepared for a big welcome home. Residents and business owners lined up along Hwy 431 to cheer for the wounded warrior.
Guntersville First Baptist Church also planned for a smooth homecoming. The church built a ramp at Garmon's family's home to make sure it is wheelchair-friendly.

Pet First Aid – Be Prepared for Any Emergency
I consider my pets members of my family, and do my best to plan for emergencies as much as possible. It is important as a pet parent to be aware of your pet's normal everyday behavior. Your pet cannot tell you when he/she is in pain or discomfort, it is up to you to identify if and when they need first aid.
Pet First Aid Kit:
To start, put together a pet first aid kit. Pet first aid kits can be purchased at many pet stores or you could ask your veterinarian for a list of items to combine or add. The kit will include items similar to a human first aid kit such as:
* Vetericyn Wound and Infection Spray
* Sterile gauze dressings
* 3% hydrogen peroxide
* Adhesive bandages
* Adhesive tape
* Rectal thermometer
* Cold pack
* Grooming clippers
* Eye wash
* Penlight
* Thermal blanket
* Antiseptic cream
The above products can be used for any pet; cat, dog or horse. Vetericyn Wound and Infection Spray, compared to the human product Puracyn and made by the same company, is a non-toxic spray that will kill 99.99% of infection and bacteria in less than 30 seconds increasing oxygen to the wound and promoting rapid healing.
It is also suggested that you include a list of phone numbers related to pet health or emergencies in the kit as well. Write down your veterinarian's office number, a 24-hour animal clinic, the national animal poison control center, humane organization, and local animal shelters. Having this list of numbers on hand will save time and benefit your pet if an emergency occurs. Make sure that everyone in your family knows that this kit is for the family pet. Decide as a family where to put it so everyone knows where to find it in the case of an emergency.
Wound Care:
In the case that your pet has bleeding wounds, use gauze to apply pressure to the area which will promote clotting. If a trip to the vet is necessary, it is a good idea to call ahead and describe the injury; letting them know when you will arrive. Doing this will allow the staff time to prepare for your pet's arrival. For more detailed information on wound care please see this post: How to Treat a Dog Wound – Understanding Proper Wound Care.
Penetrating Objects:
Cats and dogs are known for being curious creatures that can get themselves into a mess of trouble at times. If your pet has been stabbed by a stick, arrow or other object and it is still in the pet, do not remove it yourself. Here is what you should do to make sure the object does not penetrate further into the animal:
1. Get a foam cup
2. Make a hole in the bottom of the cup and place it over the object
3. Tape the cup around the object, if the object is long gently cut the object 5 inches above the wound. If you do not have a foam cup or something similar
4. If you do not have a foam cup or something similar, gently wrap gauze around the object
5. Get to the vet immediately
As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Be prepared for emergencies; if you are, the emergency won't be quite as scary for you or your pet.

Naturally kills 99.99% of bacteria in less than 30 seconds.

Possible collaboration #2,674 The Tallest Man on Earth & Megafaun cover Gillian Welch. What collabs would you like to see?
gorgeous poster. I want it.
the show was, I'm sure, great as always
Almost certainly…we'll take a poster too!

To further advance the dialogue with both established and budding musicians, the Newport Festivals Foundation, Inc.™ announced the creation of its Newport Folk Festival Board of Advisors. The panel of musicians will help ensure that the Newport Folk Festival remains a significant, viable, and influential institution for years to come. The Board of Advisors includes: Colin Meloy of The Decemberists, Gillian Welch, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Jim James of My Morning Jacket, and Ben Knox Miller of The Low Anthem.
"The Newport Folk Festival's Board of Advisors is comprised of very special performers and we're pleased that they have agreed to join us as we return to our roots as a non-profit organization," said George Wein, Chairman of the Newport Festivals Foundation and festival co-founder along with Pete Seeger. "Each of these musicians personifies and enhances the spirit of the Newport Folk Festival, which honors past, present, and future icons of the ever-changing folk scene."
The five founding members have all previously appeared at the Newport Folk Festival, and, in a further testament to their importance to the advisory board
and in true Folk Family fashion, each has a special connection that has bonded them to Newport.

Video: Gillian Welch Plays Conan - "The Way It Goes"
Gillian Welch and David Rawlings stopped by Conan for a live take on the first single off their long-awaited fifth studio album, The Harrow & the Harvest, streaming here.
Gillian Welch - The Way The Whole Thing Ends
The last song on The Harrow & The Harvest
As previously reported, Gillian Welch will release her follow-up to 2003's Soul Journey on June 28. Details were scarce when we first caught word of her long-awaited fifth studio album, but today Welch officially announced the forthcoming LP along with the album cover art (left), the tracklist, and a quote describing the record by the Decemberists' Colin Meloy, one of Welch's recent collaborators.
The Harrow & the Harvest "is a new Southern sound," says Meloy, "with the sort of songs you wouldn't be surprised to hear issuing from some verdant, wooded hollow in Appalachia; songs you'd expect to hear hollered from an Asheville grange hall, all too late in the evening. Songs with the wry humor of the back porch. Listen to this record with the lights low. Listen to it on an old radio, cradled next to your ear."
Welch's new LP, which is produced by longtime collaborator David Rawlings, will be preceded by listening parties at dozens of independent record stores across the U.S., listed here. You can check out the tracklist below, alongside a clip of Welch and Rawlings' performing new tune "Hard Times," live from Conor Oberst's Concert for Equality:

The goats are in the barn tonight because, well, all this heat looks to be turning into a doozy of a storm. So we took them on a post-milk walk first, always seeking her own space, Mama Stein took up the rear of the herd.
But, what I really want to say is, we left the farm for an entire week (my little sister got married!). This might as well be a universe in you.have.a.dairy.farm.time. And why is this you ask? Well, because when one has a dairy farm you not only have to milk your goats twice a day, but each goat has a unique personality, and needs to be cared for just.so(and sometimes goats do not behave! shocking, i know!). In addition, there are three sets of pastures to move, and moving solar pastures, often not fun. And on top of that, when you have a dairy farm, chances are you are also dealing with a variety of sorts of animal husbandry: wounds that need tended, special diets that need to be thought of, extra cheese bits snuck to Elvis, etc. So I want to tell you how lucky we are because we have Marie and Michaela who took phenomenal care of the goats, and we came home to them healthy and happy. We are very grateful.
& not to be forgotten - Laura rockstar'd out the caramel shop to make sure everyone got their orders! You continue to make the goats giddy they get to share their caramels to so many new places all the time! Thank you for ordering!

(Sports Network) - The Toronto Raptors will try to shake off a disputed loss in Charlotte as they wrap up their road trip with a stop in Detroit the face the Pistons.
You can see all the action on TSN2 tonight beginning at 7:30pm et/4:30pm pt.
The Raptors have dropped seven of their last nine games. Toronto had some chances to steal a win at the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday, but came up short on several chances in the final seconds in a 98-97 defeat. Both DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry had shots blocked on the final possession and Andrea Bargnani's attempt from 18 feet out at the horn fell short.
"We have to make our own breaks," Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "I thought we shot ourselves in the foot in the beginning of the fourth quarter as far as turnovers. When you turn the ball over, they score layups."
Bargnani had a game-high 25 points and Lowry added 21 to the defeat.
Jonas Valanciunas contributed 16 points and 10 boards in the setback, his third double-double of the season. That made him just the second Raptors rookie to collect three or more double-doubles through the first 15 games, joining Damon Stoudamire, who had seven in that span in the 1995-96 campaign. Valanciunas still has three more games to add to that total.
The Raptors have lost two straight and five of their last six overall encounters with the Pistons and have dropped three in a row and 14 of their previous 17 trips to Detroit.
The Detroit Pistons had shown signs of turning things around following a slow start to the season.
That is, until their second-half performance on Wednesday.
Having picked up a victory in two of three following an 0-8 start, the Pistons took a first-quarter lead over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday and still held the advantage coming out of halftime.
That's when the wheels fell off for Detroit, which missed its first 15 shots of the frame and did not score its first point of the second half until there was 2:15 left in the third. That allowed Orlando to net the first 21 points of the stanza and outscore Detroit 26-8 in the frame en route to handing the Pistons a 90-74 defeat.
"We had no energy to start (the second half)," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "It was like we had to call timeout before our guys started the second half. There was a void of the necessary energy to play the game."
Tayshaun Prince had 10 points and a season-high eight rebounds, while Greg Monroe led all players with 19 points. Only four of those came in the second half and he also ended with eight boards.
Still, over his last four games, Monroe is averaging 20.3 points and 11.5 rebounds a night and he should be the focus of Toronto's defenders in this one.

First of a three-post series
Eyelash curlers and nail clippers. Electronic ice shavers and battery-operated jar openers. Leather and non-leather basketballs.
These are some of the things members of Congress have busied themselves with in recent months, introducing more than 1,200 bills to grant special exemptions from tariff duties for those and other products sought by certain favored companies.
The measures – known as Miscellaneous Tariff Bills (MTBs) – waive or substantially reduce government duties charged on a wide variety of imported goods, ranging from ordinary kitchen utensils to complex chemical cocktails, usually for three years.
To get the exemption, the domestic companies that use or sell the product must convince a member of Congress to introduce an MTB. It is then referred to either the House Ways and Means Committee or the Senate Finance Committee.
There is little chance an MTB will be disallowed, so long as it meets the statutory requirements that there are no domestic manufacturers of the product and the cumulative annual cost will not exceed $500,000.
Supporters say MTBs save American jobs by cutting manufacturing costs. Critics argue the MTB process favors big companies that hire pricey lobbyists and make generous campaign contributions.
Other critics worry that MTBs are in some ways analogous to earmarks as a kind of pork barrel favor, even though earmarks spend tax dollars, whereas MTBs merely waive tariffs.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that the last MTB, passed in 2010, cost nearly $300 million in uncollected duties over three years.
It's too early to know which companies will benefit most from MTBs filed this year, or how much the tariff exemptions will be worth. The deadline for filing the bills expired earlier this month.
A Washington Examiner review of tariffs bills introduced since the current congressional term began last year identified more than 1,200 that will allow free or substantially reduced import fees on certain goods.
Most of those bills extend existing exemptions that expire in December for another three years. Others add new products to the list. Approved MTBs will be bundled together in one big bill later this year, for an up-or-down vote by Congress.
Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-NC, sponsored the eyelash curlers MTB, as well as separate measures to eliminate fees on nail clippers and manicure and pedicure sets, all on behalf of the Revlon cosmetics company, said Saul Hernandez, Butterfield's chief of staff.
Revlon is a big employer in Butterfield's district, Hernandez said, and no American company makes the products covered by the MTBs.
Butterfield has received no campaign contributions from Revlon or individuals listing the company as their employer, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. He has, however, received $10,000 since 2009 from the political action committee of Revlon's corporate parent, MacAndrews & Forbes.
Another sponsor of unusual MTBs is Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., whose name is on at least 20 MTBs for kitchen appliances, including electric knives, portable slow cookers and electric skillets.
But some seem tailored to a specific product, such the Scott MTB for self-contained, carafe-less automatic drip coffee makers with an electronic clock. Another targets certain types of battery-operated ice cream makers.
A third Scott MTB waives the tariff on electromechanical ice shavers and a fourth allows duty-free importation of combination single-slot toasters with ovens.
The beneficiary of Scott's bills is Hamilton Beach Brands Inc., based in Glen Allen, Va., which is just outside of Scott's district.
"We are talking about jobs," Scott told the Examiner. "Particularly in this economy, you have to help these companies as much as possible."
Scott has received no campaign contributions since 2009 from Hamilton Beach, individuals naming the company as their employer, or its parent corporation, Ohio-based NACCO Industries.
Other unusual items targeted for tariff waivers include:
- Electric wine bottle openers through a bill sponsored by Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn. Other Ellison MTBs cover certain coupon holders and swimming pools.
- Leather basketballs would get an exemption via an MTB by Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Ky, who also sponsored measures to waive tariffs for rubber basketballs, basketballs having an external surface other than leather or rubber, and volleyballs.
- Artichokes prepared in vinegar or acetic acid through a bill sponsored by Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J., who introduced a separate bill exempting artichokes prepared other than by vinegar or acetic acid.
- Rep. Bill Pascrell, D-N.J., sponsored bills to waive the duties on capers and pepperoncini, both preserved and not preserved by vinegar or acetic acid.
- Camel hair, vicuna and Kashmir goat hair through a variety of bills sponsored by Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn. The main beneficiary of that bill is a Connecticut textile company.
- Fireworks of various sorts through bills sponsored by different members.
The most generic product targeted for an MTB came from Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., who described it as for "certain other made up articles."
Next: MTB process favors big corporations.
Mark Flatten is a member of The Washington Examiner's special reporting team. He can be reached at email@example.com or 202-459-4929. Jennifer Peebles, the Examiner's data editor, contributed - mightily - to this series.
Part I - Is 'MTB' the new name for earmarks?
Part II - MTB process favors big corporations
Part III - Bipartisan Senate duo seeks MTB reform

It wasn't that long ago when Amari Design graced our pages with their tuned-up Lamborghini Gallardo Invidia Edition . Today, one of the largest pre-owned supercar dealers in the UK is getting ready to introduce their latest creation, the 2010 Range Rover Sport Windsor Edition.
Loaded with aesthetic and performance upgrades, this Range Rover Sport is certainly not one for the weak-of-heart. Among the aesthetic upgrades you'll find include a new front bumper with DRL lights, wide wheel arches, door moldings, a carbon fiber front grille, carbon side vents, a rear diffuser with a material choice of either ABS plastic or carbon fiber, a new rear bumper, a carbon hood, exhaust tips, with a choice of three different wheel concepts - deep concave, monoblock, and two-piece – which Amari Design is developing themselves.
Under the hood of the Range Rover Sport, Amari Design also addressed upping the ante on the luxury SUV's performance capabilities. Having the same 5.0-liter supercharged engine as the stock model, Amari Design was able to increase the output from 503 horsepower all the way up to 611 horsepower, a jump of 108 horsepower. Details on how the company was able to get 108 more horsepower for the SUV wasn't announced, but nonetheless, it's still mighty impressive in its own right.

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2006 Pontiac Torrent
This 2006 review is representative of model years 2006 to 2009.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
GM's "excitement division" offers its first SUV, which is decent but not very exciting.
Pontiac still is General Motors' "excitement division," with such autos as its GTO muscle car and new Solstice sports car. But Pontiac's first sport-utility vehicle—the 2006 Torrent—registers low on the excitement scale.
For sure, the Torrent is decent enough and is offered to prevent defections from Pontiac to SUVs from competitors. Even Porsche, which only built sports cars, introduced its Cayenne SUV for that reason in 2003, and that vehicle is accounting for a large chunk of Porsche sales—and profits—in America.
The Torrent looks sporty enough for a roomy SUV, although it can't match the appearance of something like the Infiniti FX sport-utility vehicle, which emphasizes sport over utility.
Shares Chevrolet Components
At least the Torrent looks sportier than the Equinox, although it can't match the acceleration or handling of sporty SUVS such as the admittedly more costly FX or BMW X5.
That's not to say that this new Pontiac doesn't steer, handle, ride or brake well during routine driving. It just leaves drivers looking for more than a little sportiness out in the cold.
Available All-Wheel Drive
Call the Torrent's 3.4-liter 185-horsepower V6 as reliable as sunrise, but also call this pushrod engine a yawner. It won't let anyone run over a Torrent, but acceleration is average.
At least the V6 works with a modern 5-speed automatic transmission, instead of a 4-speed unit. The extra gear helps extract better acceleration and a little more fuel economy from the generally smooth engine.
Average Fuel Economy
High points of the Torrent include a reclining and sliding split-folding rear seat with about 8 inches of fore-aft travel. That increases legroom in the already roomy rear seat area or cargo space behind the back seat when it's in its normal, upright position.
Long Load Area
The low, wide cargo area has an available Cargo Storage System with storage bins in the floor and wheelwells, besides a plastic shelf that can be put in various positions for differing cargo needs. It has hooks for grocery bags and can be configured as a table for tailgate parties. Three 12-volt power outlets are standard.
Fairly Well Equipped
Comfort and convenience options include a power sunroof, leather-trimmed seats and steering wheel, power driver's seat, heated front seats, 17-inch aluminum wheels (up from standard 16-inchers), a CD/MP3 stereo, a steering wheel radio controls, GM's OnStar assistance feature and a XM satellite radio.
Safety options include side-curtain airbags.
The Torrent is billed as a 5-passenger SUV, but there's only comfortable space for four occupants because two individual seats are up front and the center of the rear seat is too hard for comfort.
Inviting Interior
While only marginally sporty, the Torrent is among the most pleasant, handy midsize sport-utility vehicles. And a wilder version may be introduced in the not-distant future because Pontiac plans to further emphasize its "excitement" image.

The Clayton County Sheriff's Fugitive Unit arrested a Lake City man, Tuesday, on outstanding warrants involving a shooting over the sale of a car, said officials.
Sheriff's Lt. Brian Crisp said detectives picked up Joseph Lamonte Olivier, 25, at a Harper Drive home. Olivier faces three counts of aggravated assault, five counts of criminal damage to property in the second degree, and one count of reckless conduct.
Crisp said the alleged incident occurred Nov. 12, at 6726 Tara Blvd., in Jonesboro. Olivier and an unidentified woman got into a disagreement in front of Building 14 over the sale of a vehicle, said Crisp.
"Olivier began discharging a .40-caliber firearm at the victim's vehicle," he said. "The victim was not hit, and fled to the rear of the complex. She exited her vehicle, hid and notified police."
Warrants for Olivier's arrest were issued Friday. He will be held in the Clayton County Jail, pending his first appearance hearing in Clayton County Magistrate Court.

ACCOMACK, VA — The Accomack County Board of Supervisors recently received a proposal to consolidate building and grounds maintenance work at 58 facilities now done by three separate departments in an effort to save money, according to the Daily Times.
Although consolidating the maintenance of county, school and parks and recreation facilities would save taxpayers money, a recent report recommends against it because of a lack of sound management practices, the story stated.
The report, written by county employee Dan Hillman, does not make specific staffing recommendations but does "strongly recommend" that the county perform a comprehensive analysis to determine staffing requirements at all county facilities to maximize productivity and eliminate wasteful overstaffing, the story noted.
According to the report, successful consolidation would require better tracking of information, the use of computerized management systems, an analysis of staffing levels by facility and basic training for managers and supervisors.
