LiveFT: Spurs 3 Saints 2
This live event has finished
- A late winner from Gylfi Sigurdsson saw Spurs complete an impressive comeback to win 3-2, having trailed 2-0 to goals from Rodriguez and Lallana.
Spurs 3 Saints 2. It's all over. Despite an outstanding start to this match, Saints have lost at White Hart Lane.
3-2. Gut wrenching! Spurs have completed an impressive second half with a wonder goal to surely win this contest, just as Gareth Bale did in the corresponding fixture of last year. Sub Gylfi Sigurdsson has fired an injury-time stunner into the bottom corner. Saints are on their knees.
Lambert fired a left-footer narrowly wide of the far post as Saints threataned a late winner. He was then replaced by Sam Gallagher
Cork booked for foul as Spurs attacked soon after Ramirez's burst of pace threatened to create a Saints opening
Lallana's cross was headed downwards by Lambert and off a Spurs defender for a corner, which was over hit by Ward-Prowse.
an impressive Spurs counter attack that began with Rose's tackle on Chambers ends with Eriksen's cross flashing across face of goal behyond Soldado
England's Andros Townsend enters the fray in place of Lennon
Eriksen shoots over the bar, under pressure from sub Calum Chambers
JRod off, possibly with a knock on his knee, and Gaston Ramirez comes on.
Lovren booked for foul
Spurs looking strong down their right flank; Artur Boruc ensured he was not beaten at his near post by a fierce strike from Chadli before Eriksen found the sidenetting from Bentaleb's pass
2-2. Worst possible start to the second half. Lovren was pickpocketed near the byline by Soldado, whose cross was converted at the far post for Eriksen, who now has for goals in five games.
An entertaining half and one that Saints can be very happy with as they go in at the break leading 2-1.
A foul on Davis resulted in the Northern Ireland midfielder receiving treatment before Eriksen's powerful free-kick was tipped over the bar by Boruc.
Eriksen took one touch too many after Spurs created the best chance of their own making. They switched play incisively, before Boruc collected the ball with eager hands.
Lallana's Cruyff turn is followed with a pass to Lambert whose pass is volleyed goalwards by Shaw and deflected behind ... Saints look so much more fluid going forward
More goalmouth drama as Lallana's close-range shot is saved by Lloris.
1-2! Wonderful entertainment but poor defending from Saints. ERIKSEN capitalised on Nathaniel Clyne's mistake at the far post from Naughton's cross.
02! Fantastic skill from Rickie Lambert, who tees up Adam Lallana for the second of the afternoon. He has provided the assists for both. Wonderful stuff from Saints' England forwards so far.
Luke Shaw cuts on to his left and fires a deflected strike narrowly wide of the right-hand upright.
'Jay Rodriguez, he's off to Brazil' is the chant at White Hart Lane. That finish in front of Roy Hodgson is certainly a boost to his chances— @SportsPink 23 March 2014
0-1! JRod has been caught offside a coupe of times this afternoon but not that time. A beautifully calm finish, passed across Lloris and into the far corner from Lambert's through ball.
Chadli's cross from the left is behind Lennon and out of reach of the former England man, with Soldado also in the vicinity
JRod finds the net from another cute Lambert pass, but he's offside. A very vocal Saints' contingent is making its presence felt far away to our right
Lallana clips a chip over the bar from Lambert's pass, Saints' first effort of the afternoon
Aaron Lennon's cross flashed across the face of Boruc's goal with no forward lurking in the danger area.
Chrsitian Eriksen's corner was headed down but fortunately straight at Artur Boruc
Kick off is imminent with Glory Glory Tottenham Hotspur blasting from the tannoys as the players emerge in glorious spring sunshine
Spurs forward Christian Eriksen: "I don't know whether it will be an open game, I hope they give us enough chances." #TOTSOU— @premierleague 23 March 2014
Mauricio Pochettino: "The changes were convenient for the team. We hope the starting XI give us a good result"
James Ward-Prowse: "They'll be disappointed from the other night, and they'll try to get at us and it'll be a tough start."
.@SpursOfficial boss Tim Sherwood: "We're encouraged by our last two games. If we continue with that sort of performance we'll win" #TOTSOU— @premierleague 23 March 2014
#saintsfc have won twice at White Hart Lane in the last 20 years, most recently in Sept 2003 (3-1 thanks to a @1jamesbeattie brace)— @SportsPink 23 March 2014
Anyone who says andy carroll has more attributes than rickie lambert should have watched the last 5 mins of super sunday 👍— @mattletiss7 23 March 2014
Chilling out waiting for the saints game to kick off! tough game today depends what spurs turns up! reckon 1-0 saints! #saintsfc— @chrishobbsboxer 23 March 2014
Spurs are without a win in four games in all competitions and have lost their last two at home; the first leg of their Europa League tie against Benfica and against rivals Arsenal last week.
Saints are aiming to record three successive league wins for the second time this season, following the victories at Crystal Palace and at home to Norwich last week.
Saints make two changes from the team that beat Norwich 4-2 last Saturday. Jack Cork returns from injury far sooner than expected, taking up a place alongside James Ward-Prowse in the defensive midfield roles, with Morgan Schneiderlin missing out through injury. Rickie Lambert also returns to the side, with Gaston Ramirez dropping to the bench.
SPURS: Lloris; Naughton, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose; Lennon, Bentaleb, Chadli, Dembele, Eriksen; Soldado.
Subs: Friedel, Dawson, Fryers, Paulinho, Sigurdsson, Townsend, Kane.
SAINTS: Boruc, Clyne, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Cork, Ward-Prowse, S. Davis, Lallana, Rodriguez, Lambert.
Subs: Gazzaniga, Yoshida, Ramírez, Chambers, Hooiveld, Reed, Gallagher.
Referee: Anthony Taylor.
Hello and welcome to this Daily Echo blog covering this afternoon's Premier League contest between Saints and Spurs. Apologies for the slightly-later-than-normal start, but there have been a few technical issues at White Hart Lane. Hopefully we're over them now, though. Saints are aiming for a third straight win today, and would climb back up to eighth place in the table with a victory. Team news will be with us soon, while we'll have updates for you during the match.

It's Judgment Day for Hospital Websites
Not only are hospitals' quality metrics under tight review by payers, but now the honesty and relevance of their websites' claims and content is getting scrutinized.
The funny, if not shameful, thing about most hospitals' websites is how little they reveal about the quality and safety of care their patients receive. These portals could boast, say, their organization's specifics in preventing readmissions or infections, or how well patients scored their acute care experience.
But no. With a few hours spent browsing around, one realizes that what most of these platforms display are mere bromides and platitudes, even links to the area weather report. Many boast the hospital is "state-of-the-art," whatever that means, or that quality "is the cornerstone of everything we do," or "our mission is to offer healthcare services with compassion and dignity," or that the ER "provides 24-hour emergency services."
My pet peeve is when a hospital uses a third of its home page real estate for photos—not of the hospital's own, living, hard-working doctors, nurses and other members of the team—but instead wastes space with stock images of unrealistically beautiful, often even sexy, models wearing V-neck scrubs cut just low enough.
Now, a reality check on all of this banal puffery has finally arrived. And none too soon. Not only are hospitals' quality metrics under tighter review by payers, the honesty and relevance of their websites' claims and content is now getting scrutinized too.
This week, the employer-based Leapfrog Group, which last year started doling out hospital safety scores from A-F, and the accreditation program URAC announced their joint 2013 Hospital Website Transparency Awards. The idea is to applaud those hospitals that have begun to use their sites for real information and education rather than disingenuous hype. And by omission, Leapfrog and URAC hope to shine a light on those who don't.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Daniel Fell (10/9/2013 at 10:51 AM)
The Leapfrog Group has done some great work on patient safety and reducing medical errors in my opinion but this rating program could be greatly improved. Hardly any of the criteria really relate to the quality of hospital quality data itself. It's more of a general web site rating (of which there are several out there including the e-Healthcare Leadership Awards that I help judge every year). Where are the specifics regarding sources of data, use of internal quality data, consumer friendly explanations of quality metrics, physician level data, use of infographics, etc.? Less than 20% of the criteria even deal with the quality data. That said, we've been tracking healthcare ratings and rankings trends for the last decade and it's surprising ow slow hospitals have been to push this content out to referral sources and patients. So kudos to Leapfrog for drawing more attention to the issue.
Laurie (8/27/2013 at 4:28 PM)
It's no surprise that they are under review. Technology helps patients better educate themselves so they can make better healthcare choices. I see a lot of providers who are embracing technology in their practice with cloud PACS are also putting the effort into updating their website and other online identities where they could be held liable.

Behind the scenes, Cho continues work on accommodating Rudy Fernandez's trade request. The first-year GM has some options, and I'm getting the feeling he might pull the trigger on something before camp. Wes Matthews is the new backup to Brandon Roy at shooting guard, and Fernandez's appearance (or non-appearance) at camp could prove to be a distraction nobody needs.

'Mother Culture' is a dangerous God complex that is leading to the destruction of the diversity of life on earth.
Of course everybody knows humans are the climax of creation and we are sovereign over all life on earth. No matter how ridiculous that sounds when I write it out, billions believe it correct.
If we do not accept that we are part of a community of life we will learn the hard way that we are not special.

Kareem Fahim 10+May 19 2013: Humans are special and we are sovereign life on earth.
That said, we are consuming much more than we can afford. We are continuously polluting our planet. Sadly, our politicians have other things on their agenda and fabrication corps. can do whatever they want without any serious supervision. We are betraying our future generations by killing our planet (quote Tony Blair)
May 21 2013: "What makes you believe we humans are special and sovereign over life on earth?"
Countless reasons.
*The most important one: Our Creator made us special and sovereign on earth. Now this doesn't mean we start polluting earth and make it inhabitable for other species. On the contrary, we should make it beautiful and better for us and other living things.
*Mere fact that 'Brian Ruckman' posted this topic & you and I read and comprehended it makes us special.
May 22 2013: I believe it is arrogant to think man was created in gods image. This is just my logical conclusion. We have absolutely no knowledge of what the creator is (given there be one) so anything else is unverifiable speculation.
I agree humans have unique capabilities but so do other creatures and possibly alien life so to look at what humans are capable of doing and then concluding we are special in this universe is arrogant.
May 22 2013: I agree with you, Brian. We Muslims believe the same thing. Creator is unique/absolute and we human are mere creation!! And man was definitely NOT created in God's Image.
As far as aliens are concerned. Source of all knowledge, for me, is Quran. And in start of Qur'an is:
"[All] praise is [due] to Allah , Lord of the worlds -"
So yep. There might be other intelligence/worlds different from us.
Although I must confess, no matter how advanced aliens we encounter, I will ALWAYS believe humans are special :P. Why? because all prophets (from Adam to Ibrahim to Moises to Jesus and Muhammad Peace be upon all of Them) were human beings.

MANAGUA, (Tierramérica).- Nicaragua is once again dreaming of building an inter-ocean route that would make the Panama Canal look tiny. But such a mega-project, which would take 10 years to build and cost more than 25 times the national budget, could be catastrophic for the environment, say ecologists.There are four projects on the table for connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans via different routes across Nicaragua. The intention is to be able to transport volumes of cargo that the Panama Canal cannot handle.To date, only the government has proposed a water-only route. If approved, the canal must guarantee "absolute control over sovereignty and ecology," Arturo Harding, Nicaragua's environment minister, told Tierramérica.Harding is a member of a governmental commission that is drawing up a preliminary study to determine whether canal construction would be feasible.Jorge Huezo, also on the commission, told Tierramérica that the studies should be ready by the end of the year, and then a legislative bill would be sent to congress "in order to give the country a legal framework for negotiating mega-projects, particularly the canal."The route "would be much bigger than the Panama Canal, if it is built," said Harding.According to government sources, of the six billion tons of merchandise transported internationally by various means each year, only 200 million tons pass through the Panama Canal, suggesting that a new route in Nicaragua would be appropriate.The Nicaraguan canal would serve "a different type of market than Panama's," as the new route could handle 250,000-ton ships, compared to the 50,000-ton vessels that make the Panamanian crossing, Harding explained.According to a profile drawn up in 2000 by Nicaraguan experts, a canal that is one kilometer wide and 400 km long would cost 20 to 25 billion dollars. Nicaragua's national budget does not surpass one billion dollars annually.Construction would take place through contracts granted in an international bidding process.The canal would begin in Brito, in the southwestern department of Rivas, on the Pacific coast, and end on the Caribbean coast, in the department of Atlántico Sur (See infograph).The study includes a project to reforest 40,000 square km, which would require an annual budget of 150 million dollars."It is not enough to reforest" the areas affected by canal construction, says Anfer López, head of campaigns at the non-governmental conservationist Humboldt Center.The canal could introduce transmissible disease and would create a physical barrier to movement throughout Nicaraguan territory, which would be divided by the water route.The center also warns that the mega-project would alter the ecosystems that support the lifestyles of indigenous communities and would violate international environmental treaties.The investors "are interested in having their canal, but who is going to take responsibility for curbing the collateral impacts it produces? Who is going to make sure that the construction companies are held accountable?" asks López.A project of this magnitude will have major environmental impacts, and the aim to build the canal is like "putting a sword to the neck", because the country does not have a legal framework for water use, said activist Kamilo Lara, of the non-governmental Soluciones Ambientales (Environmental Solutions).Responding to criticisms, Harding said that "poverty is the leading cause of environmental destruction" in Nicaragua. And if things continue as they are, with 45 percent of the population of 5.4 million living in poverty, in 15 years the environmental degradation produced by poverty could be much worse than that caused by the canal, he said.In addition to the government's plan for a canal, there are two proposals for building an inter-ocean railroad.The Intermodal System for Global Transport (SIT Global), involving Nicaraguan and Canadian entrepreneurs, proposes a railway with an oil pipeline and fiber optic cable running parallel. Environmental impact studies for this project will begin this year.Another group, the Inter-Ocean Canal of Nicaragua, proposes building two ports, one on the Atlantic, the other on the Pacific, united by 400 km of railroad.The consortium is working on the design and geo-engineering studies of the two port terminals, its promoters said in August.The fourth plan is the Eco Canal, a small project compared with the others, to consist of an internal route for smaller ships to carry merchandise containers along the San Juan River and Lake Cocibolca (also known as Lake Nicaragua).Minister Harding says the three private initiatives could complement the government's canal plans.

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's largest bank Santander
Santander announced plans to fully absorb its 110 year-old Banesto brand last month, closing 700 branches to cut longer-term costs.
The bank had warned of gradual but heavy job losses when it announced the deal but did not give a specific number. Official talks with unions over the cuts will open on January 9, Cinco Dias said.
No one at Santander was immediately available for comment.

Only one political post…
November 7th, 2012 1 comment
My Facebook status update got such a positive feedback today, that I felt I'd like to share it here as well… I took as long composing it as I do many of my blog posts!
Here is my one and only political post — because I just NEED to say it. Not everyone who voted for Obama did so because of his race or because they are on welfare. Not everyone who voted for Romney did so because they hate gays and don't believe women have rights. I dreaded this election for this very reason: The hate and snark being thrown between friends over liberal vs conservative, democrat vs republican. We're all Americans and I miss being the UNITED States in practice as well as name, and it is my prayer that God will guide us and our leaders over the next four years.

The E46 M3 was blessed with an extremely stout powertrain from the factory. The 3.2-liter straight-six stirs up 333hp and 262 lb-ft which, paired to a great chassis, made it a benchmark performer.
With a solid-lifter cylinder head and 8000rpm limiter, it's meant to rev hard and is happiest past 5000rpm. And while the stock power levels are appropriate, the E46 weighed upwards of 3400 lb and the chassis can definitely cope with more power, so we set out to extract as much power as possible while staying within the limits of the factory hardware.
We teamed up with european auto source (EAS) in Anaheim, CA for every step of the build. Utilizing their in-house DynoJet dynamometer, wide array of parts and top-level mechanics, we were in good hands.
Before doing anything, we wanted to set a baseline for our stock M3 with 68000 miles on the clock. Our car had been maintained religiously throughout its life, and the numbers proved it. The car made an above-average 294hp and 245 lb-ft at the wheels - not bad for ten year-old car!
Unfortunately, the US-spec M3 was fitted with restrictive headers and catalytic converters. So while the Europe-only CSL had free-flowing parts, they're hard to come by. And with the installation being as tricky as it is, it made more sense to upgrade to something altogether better: Macht Schnell.
Using laser-cut 3/8" flanges, these headers create a perfect seal to the head and are guaranteed not to warp. They were inspired by the CSL headers and are mandrel-bent to ensure maximum flow. The precision welding is seamless, along with OEM oxygen and EGR bung locations, plus an additional bung for our Stack wideband O2 gauge. Better yet, they're gorgeous - although hidden once installed - and cloaked in a matte black ceramic thermal coating inside and out to improve thermal efficiency. This helps keep under-hood temps down and maintain exhaust velocity.
We decided to finish off the system with Borla's newest exhaust for the E46; the "ATAK" cat-back. Sure, we wanted to maximize our gains, but the 3.2L S54 motor is notoriously raspy. It's a sound we don't mind enhancing, but it had to be done with class. Often, these M3s can sound tinny or drone but Borla's new system is easily among the best we've heard. Even the guys at EAS were surprised and agreed it was a quality piece.
Using a three-section solution, Borla nailed it with the "X" pipe, resonator and rear muffler creating an aggressive, exotic noise that can be easily tamed with throttle control.
Of course, the car's inevitably louder with the cat-less headers, but we love it. And without being re-tuned, the M3 put down 310whp and 249 lb-ft with all the exhaust parts in place.
While the numbers were nice, the on-road manners were drastically improved. Low- and mid-range response was immediate, and the motor came alive. For a reliable daily driver, these simple modifications are perhaps all you need if you're on a tight budget, transforming the car's attitude. However, the headers won't be legal in most states. That said, we couldn't stop there. We wanted more.
For the next step, we weighed our options, looking at both turbo and supercharger kits. In the end, we opted for a centrifugal blower because it makes boost by engine speed, meaning that as the motor revs higher, the supercharger spins faster and makes more boost.
For the S54 motor, this is a great option because it retains the linear nature of the factory powerband but moves it up the graph. The attitude and personality of the motor isn't changed, but enhanced, and that was exactly what we wanted.
We then chose the ESS Tuning kit because it's been extensively tried and tested. From parts quality to servicing and ECU tuning, the ESS kits are virtually unmatched and unrivaled. Nicest of all, the kits are upgradable. The same supercharger is used from the mildest to wildest set-ups, so only the ancillary parts need to be swapped out during the upgrade process.
ESS uses the Vortech V3Si supercharger in its E46 M3 systems, capable of up to 775hp and, unless you plan to fully build your bottom end, you'll never need more than this unit can provide.
We started with the basic kit, the VT1-445. With installation taking roughly six hours, we wouldn't recommend it for the weekend-wrencher, although it's completely possible if you have the experience and tools. The straight-six is squeezed into the engine bay as it is in stock form, so fitting these large parts is an exercise in finesse, and when messing with drive belts there's very little room for error. One tooth off the crank pulley and you can kiss your motor goodbye.
We had EAS to complete the conversion, and it's one they'd done hundreds of times. The VT1 kit is non-intercooled, reaching a maximum of 5psi. A new cast aluminum intake manifold with integrated bypass valve replaces the large factory part, while bigger Bosch Motorsport fuel injectors are added to keep the gas flowing.
The VT1-445 kit is rated at 445hp (which works out to about 375hp at the wheels), but our healthy M3 put down 414whp (487hp) and 295 lb-ft using weak 91-octane fuel on the EAS dyno.
The ESS software tune was flawless and factory-smooth, without any glitches. With just 5psi, the car felt impressively eager, and our more-than-advertised power was welcomed.
The kit provided great power for the money but with California summers and the possibility of some track use, we wanted the extra cooling from a front-mount intercooler and were soon yearning for more power!
As it happens, ESS Tuning had developed a new upgrade for the E46 M3 and used our car to test its VT2-525 conversion. The kit was designed to maximize output on 91-octane gas, pushing as far as they could before extra boost would require better fuel. And since Project E46 sees daily road use, we currently don't plan to push beyond this stage.
Swapping the supercharger pulley to increase the boost, and adding bigger injectors, along with a bar-and-plate intercooler is all it took to upgrade from the VT1 kit. Though not nearly as intensive as the initial install, this upgrade involves two pulley swaps along with removing and trimming the front bumper to fit and align the intercooler.
The intercooler and piping were finished in a stealthy black powdercoat to match the intake manifold and compressor housing, keeping things under the radar.
Boost pressure was increased to 9psi and the ECU was recalibrated with new ESS software, along with a raised rev limit to 8400rpm. We don't recommend revving your M3 this high, but the power continued to climb past 8000rpm on our car and we enjoy the sound! Again, our Bavarian beauty saw a substantial power increase on the dyno, beyond what even ESS Tuning expected. This was probably thanks to the Macht Schnell headers, and having a sound base vehicle.
So after spinning the dyno we recorded a gain of 58hp, giving us 472whp. By factoring in an approximate 15% drivetrain loss, this put our M3 at about 555hp at the flywheel, which was 30hp more than ESS expected.
Overall, we gained 178whp over our original stock runs, increasing factory output by a whopping 60.5%. So yes, you could say we are satisfied with the results!
The car is now ferociously rapid under acceleration. Gears fly by and 140mph comes up very quickly. First gear is still usable with our 275-series Falken RT-615K tires, although the gear ends almost instantly in wheelspin. Second gear also spins, depending on the road surface, but if there's any steering angle you can bet the rear-end will slide out.
Actually, that's true of full throttle into third gear as well, making it an entertaining ride if you're looking for fun.
The ESS Tuning VT2-525 kit is perfect if you're looking for an astonishingly fast yet remarkably reliable road car that will lap most vehicles costing three times its price. We're always hungry for power, but our appetite has certainly subsided.
Next Month We'll take a look at the upgrades that brought the M3's chassis up to par with the supercharged horsepower

'Frugal' doesn't mean 'deprived'
Being careful with your cash means it goes further. But that just means you get more out of it.
I didn't see it that way. Although temporarily broke, I wasn't deprived. In fact, having relatively little made me that much more grateful for what I did have. In the grand scheme of things, I had quite a lot: food, clean water (hey, water-borne illnesses kill people all over the world), shelter, family, friends, a radio, a library card, a computer and, in midlife, a university scholarship.
You know what else I had? Peace of mind.
I was (and still am) aware of so many people constantly shopping, searching, seeking, coveting. They were always after the Next Big Thing, the newest gadget that would fix their lives and make them truly happy. What they often wound up with were empty wallets and a sense of being let down -- which they then tried to fix with more shopping.
Understand: I like buying things. I just don't do it very often. Not because I'm too cheap to spend, but because I already have everything I need and some of what I want. This sense of enough has been the greatest blessing of a frugal lifestyle.
And when I do need/want something else? The money is there. Saving where I can allows me to spend where I want. (Not that I pay retail if I can help it.)
Looking at money differently
If you're new to this -- and especially if you're experiencing forced frugality vs. voluntary simplicity -- then you might feel a little deprived.
Or a lot. Maybe you were accustomed to buying whatever you pleased the instant you decided you wanted it. Perhaps high-end furnishings, frequent travel, luxury attire, and the finest food and drink were the underpinnings of your life.
In that case, then technically you are deprived: You no longer have the things that you formerly considered necessities. But living richly doesn't have to cost a lot. That's the whole point of the Frugal Nation site: to live the best life you can without going into debt to achieve it.
Look at your situation as a learning experience, not a punishment. And if what you learn is that you want to go back to buying things? The "save where you can so you spend where you want" rule does more than just get you through tight spots. When times are better, you'll get lots more bang from your newly increased bucks.
However, you might surprise yourself by being more canny with your coins. Frugality, whether embraced or forced, helps you look at money differently. Sometimes the "I'm broke! How can I get the best possible deal?" mentality morphs into several different filters:
- "How much does this really cost?" (Translate "smartphone upgrade" into "one-third of a take-home paycheck." Ouch!)
- "Could I get by with what I already have, at least for a while?" (Will the new phone make a big enough difference to be worth 13-plus hours of work?)
- "What's really important to me?" (Am I sure this is where I want to put that much money right now?)
Such filters are the default settings for those who are happy being frugal. But they're filters, not blinders, i.e., sometimes the answer is: "Yes, I'm going to spend -- on my terms."
Thus you might limit lunches out to once a week, but decide that it really is time to replace that ancient computer. You're also likely to use a discounted Groupon for that noontime meal and to postpone your laptop purchase until the great holiday deals start showing up.
The fact is, you get fed and you get your computer. You just do it intentionally, not blindly.
For me, that means a stress-free decision. The money is there and I've found the best possible price, whether it's for an ice-cream cone or a cross-country trip to see my dad.
So stop thinking that "frugal" means "can't ever have fun again." On the contrary: It frees you up to enjoy every dollar to the utmost.

Restaurants Repeatedly Flunk With Little Penalty
When you go out to eat, you want to get fed -- not get sick.
That's why state health inspectors are in restaurants every day, checking to make sure they are clean.
But a NewsChannel 5 investigation found some of the Midstate's dirtiest restaurants get written up over and over.
And consumer investigator Jennifer Kraus discovered no one seems to do much about those repeat offenders.
But Hugh Atkins with the state Health Department says, "We don't allow an unsafe restaurant to remain open."
And Atkins insists that if a restaurant is open, it's safe.
Still, our investigation took us to the Jade Dragon in Clarksville. It's one of the worst offenders around when it comes to dirty kitchens. In fact, in the last two years, the Jade Dragon has repeatedly failed its surprise inspections, getting scores as low as a 58, 52, even a 47.
The manager told us, "Everything's clean."
But despite what he told us, when he took us back into the kitchen, we saw what appeared to be many of the same violations the restaurant has been repeatedly cited for before.
The outside thermometer on the walk-in cooler wasn't working.
And inside the cooler, we found what longtime Metro health inspector Jerry Rowland said were serious problems that could make customers sick. Among them: trays of uncovered food, an open bucket of sweet and sour sauce sitting on the floor, and raw meat that was sitting in the same bin as uncooked vegetables.
Rowland told NewsChannel 5, these were health code violations, some of them even critical violations.
A leaky cooling unit that we saw dripping right down onto uncovered broccoli is what alarmed him the most.
Rowland says, "You never want a food stored under a condensation drain. Never."
But the restaurant remains open for business, though it has been shut down for these same sorts of health code violations in the past.
Hugh Atkins heads up the state's restaurant inspection program and says, "If we go back after that ten days and they have corrected all of the critical items that we have pointed out to them, there's no reason to take any further action because at that point, they're in compliance."
But our investigation found those same critical problems often show up again and again when inspectors come back.
And we discovered, this seems to happen at other problem restaurants too. In fact, it happens so often, health inspectors even have a name for it.
"See-saw -- the see-saw effect as we call it," Rowland says.
At the Jade Dragon in Clarksville, as we continued to point out what seemed to be violations to the manager, he asked, "Can we get everything stopped?" referring to our camera. He added, "I don't want to be on TV at all."
But Atkins says there is no problem, telling NewsChannel 5, "I am very confident in the program."
Kraus asks Atkins, "Some of these restaurants you cite and you cite and you cite and you shut down repeatedly and they don't seem to get any better."
Atkins response: "They are better when they are allowed to open back up or they would not be allowed to reopen."
He says problem restaurants like the Jade Dragon are supposed to get special attention from inspectors and guidance on how to improve.
He adds, "Those are the ones we focus on with more frequent inspections."
But our investigation found inspectors have not made additional visits to the Jade Dragon in years despite its ongoing problems.
Ronnie Hart with the Tennessee Restaurant Association says, "The bottom line is fix the problem. You can't put a band-aid on it. Fix the problem."
Hart says his group has little patient for repeat offenders and is now pushing for mandatory food safety training.
The state now can only ask restaurant workers to attend these free classes, but Hart says requiring such classes might make a difference.
Hart tells NewsChannel 5, "Maybe it gives them a better understanding about a lot of this and maybe more than a better understanding, more knowledge of the importance of doing these things and doing them right."
And, maybe, he says then more restaurants would do things the way the Sunset Grill does and would have the inspection scores to prove it.
If inspectors find a restaurant is so dirty it's unsafe or if a restaurant repeatedly fails to fix critical problems, the state can shut it down.
But our investigation found if a restaurant is shut down, it's usually not closed for very long.
In the last year, state inspectors have shut down 42 restaurants across the state.
But, of those 42, all but four reopened for business the very next day.
Wednesday night at six, we'll look at those inspection scores you see in restaurants and find out why they don't always tell the full story about a restaurant.

We all know that Kanye West is one truly unique man, and one thing that has set him apart from the crowd was not having a cell phone!
Yeezy has always been against being dependent on technology and has never had a phone of his own, but it looks like Kim Kardashian is about to change all of that!
According to Us Weekly, Kanye recently invested in a secret cell phone that leads to one number … Kimmy's!
A source revealed that Kim had to contact him before he had a phone through a third party:
"It frustrated Kim," adds the insider. "She had to call him through a bodyguard."
"It frustrated Kim," adds the insider. "She had to call him through a bodyguard."
Kanye's number one form of communication was strictly by email so he must be head over heels if he's giving up his years without a cell phone for Kim!
Do you guys think Kanye is crazy in love?

My question falls in what do you guys do when the trails are to wet to ride? Is riding my mountain bike on the road a viable alternative on crappy trail days? ... Read More »

Botsford News Release
Farmington Hills, Mich. (August 19, 2013)---Beyond the advanced technology at the Botsford Cancer Center, a new service is being offered that can restore a cancer patient's self-confidence and sense of identity when she's experienced hair loss as a side effect of her medical treatment. It's called the New Reflections Boutique, Services by Rebecca's Wigs. And, it's run by a specially-trained professional staff from Merle Norman of Farmington.
"Hair is often a source of self-confidence and identity for individuals. Therefore, when cancer patients experience hair loss from treatments such as chemotherapy, they can lose their sense of self as well," said Jeri Davis, MSW, the medical social worker at Botsford Cancer Center. "Wearing a wig, however, can reinstate a bit of confidence and may help a patient feel like her old self again---a healthy person you wouldn't recognize as being sick. Wigs for cancer patients can offer a sense of empowerment during a very scary, uncontrollable time."
"Some who use our wig service at Botsford Cancer Center are unable to drive or do not have access to transportation, so we are a one-stop shop for them," said Karen L. Gara, owner, New Reflections Boutique as well as its parent store, Merle Norman of Farmington. "We schedule personal consultations with patients in private rooms where my staff assists them in selecting a flattering wig style. We offer these same private appointments to cancer patients at our store in downtown Farmington, where we've just added a new wig studio featuring more than 100 wig styles and other accessories."
"My staff is very caring and compassionate," Gara continued. "Whether our customer wants a convenient alternative to her current hairstyle or needs a wig due to hair loss, we provide the highest-quality products, outstanding customer service, and a professional approach."
In addition to Services by Rebecca's Wigs, the New Reflections Boutique located on the second floor of the Botsford Cancer Center offers many other products to help women feel beautiful and cared for while healing. Merchandise includes personal hygiene products, headware, inspirational jewelry, key rings, greetings cards, and bookmarks.
For more information or to schedule a private wig consultation at either location, call 248-477-3033.
Botsford Hospital is a multi-specialty 330 bed hospital and verified trauma center located in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

Botsford Hospital each year cares for approximately 16,000 inpatients and more than 60,000 emergency and trauma patients with a team of 2,500 employees, 300 volunteers and more than 600 physicians. A not-for-profit hospital, Botsford provided almost $10.5 million in community benefit during its 2011 fiscal year.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- The final reading for HSBC's closely watched China manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index came in slightly stronger than the preliminary reading, printing at 50.5 on Monday from an initial 50.4. The data confirmed the index's rise above the 50 level -- which divides expansion from contraction -- for the first time in 13 months. The HSBC China PMI's final October reading was 49.5. Over the weekend, the government-sponsored version of the China manufacturing PMI for November came in at 50.6, up from 50.2 in October and just shy of economists' expectation for a 50.8 reading. Mainland China's benchmark Shanghai Composite Index SHCOMP, +0.26% swung to a gain of 0.2% after the data from a 0.2% loss at the open, while Hong Kong stock indexes extended their opening gains.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- U of L is well known for its sports, after an NCAA Basketball Championship win and a Sugar Bowl title. Those titles are playing a role in the number of students who are applying at the school.
Friday afternoon, 150 students attended a "Seal the Deal" event. They've all been accepted to U of L, but have not signed up for summer orientation. They're learning more about what U of L has to offer.
Of course, they know about the recent NCAA basketball championship win and Sugar Bowl win. Dr. James Ramsey, the U of L President says, "Our applications are up 13 percent and again rather than throw it open to anybody, we do expect very good students to apply. So that's a 13 percent increase in outstanding students."
Ramsey says now it's harder than ever to get accepted to the university. U of L is expecting next year's freshman class to be 2750, which is 50 students more than the current class.
Ramsey says, "And again the quality of the applicants is up. How much of that is the Sugar Bowl, how much is the Final Four, I don't know. But, certainly it hadn't hurt and it's a real positive for the campus."
Caroline Hollatz, a student from Cincinnati says, "It's huge, I'm so happy for this school. They deserve it. They played well. I saw it on TV, kind of it's another pro for this school too in my decision making process."
Kendra Wilson, a student from Silver Spring, MD says, "I know that Louisville has a lot of support behind their athletic team and I love sports. So, this is a sports school, so it kind of made me even more interested."
Ramsey tells students that campus visits are important, as they talk to other students and faculty.
Hollatz says, "I'm coming to see the design program and learn about the school. I've never seen it before, but heard it's a great school."
U of L is hoping students will make a decision at the event, but many says it'll take a few more days before they decide on which college they want to go to.

In the hospital ER where she works, Mary is used to chaos. But lately, every aspect of her life seems adrift. She's feeling disconnected from herself. Voices appear in her head. And the vivid, disturbing dreams she's had all her life are becoming more intense. Then she meets Michael. He's handsome, enigmatic, and knows more than he can say. In his company, she slowly remembers the truth about herself.
Firstly, nothing like Elder Races - this is a cleverly written but dark alien story about 7 cosmic beings coming to Earth after one of their evil crim..Show More »inals named The Deceiver, escaped and it is their jobs to catch him. They each had to take a potion to allow their bodies to go through Earth's atmosphere but unfortunately, there was a terrible side effect - once they landed and were reincarnated into a family/culture none of them remembered each other or their mission. However, they are each constantly bombarded with thoughts and memories of past lives spanning thousands of years which tortures their minds and souls and sometimes they meet but it was always too late - until now. This is the story of Mary and Michael who were soul-mates on their planet and have found each other again but The Deceiver, who sucks souls and possesses bodies together with all his soulless minions, his magic and all his memories from thousands of years on Earth still intact (he didn't take the potion), is hot on world domination and is therefore on their trail with disastrous consequences.It was hard going to begin with as there was a lot of well written but 'wordy' character and world building to be done and, to be honest, it kinda lost me in parts and I ended up not caring much. However by part 2 things got more straightforward and once they found each other the pair had to rebuild trust, run, fight and there were a few emotional scenes along with a few sexual encounters but these were mildly described.Worth a credit? This is a hard one because I am sure there will be plenty of you out there loving the sound of this and will thoroughly enjoy it - but unfortunately, for me, I probably won't follow the series as I found it centred too much on the evil deeds, depressing, dark side of PNR.« Show Less
Having finally reunited, and fought off the Deceiver for now, Mary and Michael race up the Michigan peninsula to meet Astra before police forces catch up with them. But the closer they get, the less Mary is willing to trust a woman who by her own admission will do anything to finish the Deceiver-even if it means killing Michael and Mary to try again in another life. As they face their final battle, Michael's loyalties are tested, making him vulnerable just when Mary needs him most.

25 Small Bathroom Ideas You Can DIY
I, for one, love my small bathroom. It's compact, easy to navigate, and best of all it doesn't take up too much valuable space in my New York City apartment! Also, in such a small space it's easy to make a big impact with a little change, such as a new shower curtain, a tiny shelf, or an unexpected pop of color. Here are twenty-five ways you can add a little style to your little room.
1. Design Love Fest sews and stamps this cute laundry hamper.
2. Little Green Notebook shares this adorable no-sew sink skirt.
3. Pretty Prudent shares a no-sew version of an embroidery hoop hamper. This would be great hanging from the back of a small bathroom door.
4. Whitney crocheted these beautiful cotton washcloths over at the Purl Bee. There's nothing quite like a handmade washcloth!
5. This hand-embroidered bath mat from Sincerely Kinsey is a fun touch for a small bathroom — just be sure to use colorfast yarn!
Shower Curtains:
6. Design the Life You Want to Live turns a washable cabled IKEA blanket into a cozy shower curtain.
7. Bright embroidery jazzes up a neutral bathroom in this fun geometric DIY shower curtain, from Design Love Fest.
8. Martha Stewart turns two towels into an unexpected terrycloth shower curtain.
9. Centsational Girl uses a favorite fabric to create this beautiful lined shower curtain. This is a great basic tutorial for window curtains as well!
10. A bold, dark pipe shower curtain rod has a lot more presence than a basic tension rod. From Desert Domicile.
11. A simple painted stripe created a faux framed mirror at Rice Designs. This is a great idea for a rental where you're stuck with a frameless mirror!
12. Design Love Fest created this small amethyst mirror, a perfect focal point for a jewel-box sized bathroom.
13. A Beautiful Mess shares a simple, modern mirror DIY. I would love to see several lined up — I think they would look like modern portholes!
14. This petite wood slice mirror is just the right size for getting up close to apply eyeliner or check that your part is just right. From Desert Domicile.
15. DIY Network shares a tutorial for turning old crates into deep-framed mirrors.
16. Lazy Cozy silk-screened linoleum tiles for her bathroom. Doing this for anything other than a small space would take a lot of patience!
17. An Apartment Therapy Tutorial for painting and stenciling vinyl floors.
18. Stenciling the subfloor is a great solution when you're not sure if you'll love lots of pattern — at the worst you can just cover it back up with more paint or tiles. From Young House Love.
19. Little Green Notebook shares a tutorial for painting laminate cabinets. I can't believe the difference in the before and after shots!
20. A Beautiful Mess turned a sad, old laminate surface into a modern concrete countertop.
21. Design Sponge shares the tutorial for this narrow rope shelf.
22. This simple magnetic strip inside the medicine cabinet frees up a lot of valuable shelf space. From Superwoman.
23. My So-Called Home adds an above-the-door shelf for extra storage in the bathroom.
24. A long row of cubbies keeps the necessities within easy reach, but off of the countertop and sink edges. From Itsy Bits and Pieces.
25. Spark and Chemistry created this clever small-space towel rack that rests flat against the wall. I often wish I could reclaim the five inches taken up by my jutting towel rack — every little bit counts when space is tight.

I like how the link to the knit shower curtains refers to it as the "worlds sexiest shower curtain"
I used to have a rope shelf made of Lucite. It was pretty cool.
After moving in with people who had cats, I got rid of it because I knew they would eventually jump on it.
Nice article!
I combined two of these to use a big shopping bag with an embroidery hoop. I just take it down and carry it to the laundromat.
Like the idea with the simple painted mirror with the 3 surface mounted lights above....looks like Hollywood style which seem to be really popular the moment, especially in the UK....can also go with the LED style ones like this http://www.browneshealth.co.uk/illuminated-mirrors.htm although very modern compared to the one featured here.
very nice, my mother would like this :) you can check more DIY on this link:p http://www.slideee.com/search?find=diy
Using blankets as a shower curtain. Some concepts fail from the get-go. Some fail before the get-go.
