WHITEVILLE, NC (WECT) – A community in Whiteville is fighting back after a recent string of violence in their neighborhood.
The residents called a meeting saying they are unhappy about living so close to the probation office, mental health office, and sexual offenders' office. There is also a church nearby that has an elementary school and day care. That's violation of a state statute that requires sex offenders to be at least 300 ft from children because the church is less than 250 feet away. Their main concern is with the probation office—they want it moved.
Authorities say they need to call police any time they notice something strange in their neighborhood. They also say creating a neighborhood watch program could help curb crime.

Cartridge Replacement for Brother HL-3140CW
Replacing the Brother HL 3140CW toner cartridges is a very important part of printing successfully. A bad installation can cause problems that go from bad printing quality to damaging the toner cartridges or other printer parts.
Here are some easy steps that you can use to remove the used toner cartridges and install the new ones without damaging your printer or your toner.
Before start replacing the toner cartridges keep in mind the following safety recommendations:
- - Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause a fire
- - If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Do not use warm water as this may set the toner permanently, and you may not be able to remove the toner stains
Step 1: Turn the printer on and open the top cover.
Step 2: Take out the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly for the color that needs replacement.
Step 3: Push the green lock lever down and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit.
Step 4: Unpack the new toner cartridge, and gently shake it from side to side to distribute the toner evenly.
Step 5: Pull off the protective cover from the new toner cartridge.
Step 6: Put the new toner cartridge into the drum unit until it locks into place. The green lock lever should should lift automatically.
Step 7: In the drum unit, gently slide the green tab from left to right and right to left several times, in order to clean the corona wire.
Step 8: Insert the new toner cartridge and drum unit into the machine.
Step 9: Finally, close the top cover.
This is the best ink I have ever found for my Phaser. The price is good, but most importantly the ink (powder) actually feeds out of the cartridge from the machine asks for it! I can't say that about the ink I used previously. Very pleased! You will be too.
Great product for the price! Shipped in no time!!! Will definitely be ordering again and again.
I placed my order and immediately received a confirmation. Was notified of the shipment and it arrived when it was supposed to.
Anything man made can fail. Especially toner cartridges. But it's the companies that stand behind their products that matters. Had a problem and they took care of it right away. Kudo's and A++++++++++++ for these guys!
Package was delivered on time as promised. Cartridges fit well into the printer, and performed without issue. I was vey satisfied with this purchase.
"Easy & straight forward ordering process. Great search capability. We are using them as our alternative vendor for our Canon Image Runner toner vendor."
"I would recommend this company to other people without reservation."
"Return purchaser - product seems to work great so far. Hope second product performance goes as well as the first."
"Fantastic delivery received right in time. No games just great service."
"This was my second purchase from them. They continue to excel!"

Texas Health Care Providers Bracing for Medicaid Enrollment
"That's going to represent a significant cost increase to a Medicaid program that has already experienced steady cost increases over the last decade," said John Davidson, a health policy analyst at the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation. By choosing not to expand Medicaid eligibility, Davidson added, Texas will avoid other significant cost increases.
More than 75 percent of the state's 3.7 million Medicaid beneficiaries are children; Texas has strict eligibility rules that provide benefits only to adults who are disabled elderly or extremely poor parents.

Amazon Germany announces a new audio CD called 'Fry's English Delight' for next June (BBC audiobooks). Does anyone know a bit more about this?

Sounds like the three part radio program he narrated about Metaphor, Quotations, and Cliches. Think it was on BBC Radio 4.

I am enjoying the current series and have reactions to the latest two episodes.
Last week on the pronunciation of words. I have a theory that we adopt the pronunciation that we first hear (or are conscious of hearing) of a word. What I cannot understand is why we (and I include myself) become so committed to that pronunciation. Thereafter if I hear it said any other way, I get indignant and question the intelligence of the speaker... Why?
Then, on 'hello'. I became aware of the universality of the word when I visited China last year. Practically everyone I passed, said 'Hello'. It almost surprised me every time: How did they know I spoke English? Then I looked at myself.
But the highlight was when I went scuba diving (long story) and I was briefed as to how to dive, entirely in the word 'hello'. Bits of equipment and bits of me were pointed to and actions mimed, each gesture accompanied by the explanation 'hello'.

Posted Thu Aug 27th, 2009 2:43am Post subject: Fry's English Delight
I like your idea about pronunciation, but I'm not sure for me anyway it was the first version. for example, one landmark near where I grew up had a kind of ambiguous pronunciation. there was a vowel sound that varied slightly depending on who you were speaking to, though I don't think it was along any sort of cultural boundary. I remember sometime deciding that one of the versions sounded "better" and I became committed to it, even though I had probably used the other one when I was younger because it was slightly easier to say.
I'm also reminded of how devoted different regions of America to the words pop, soda, and coke to mean carbonated, high fructose corn syrup-laden drinks. my parents moved to my hometown as adults, so they used the term they grew up with, and I learned that around the house. then in school, all the kids were using a different word, and I decided that was "cooler" and made the switch. I live near a soda/pop boundary, which I think is just so fascinating.
btw...I've never traveled anywhere where English wasn't widely spoken, but I would be a little concerned to receive instruction on such a life-and-death activity as suiting up for scuba diving!

I may not be looking in the right place, but I can't find series 4 on CD. I bought the first 3 series from iTunes, went to get #4 and.....not there. Have they switched to audiobook only just so they can charge more?

Posted Mon Jan 28th, 2013 12:05am Post subject: Fry's English Delight
I can only enjoy Stephen Fry on CD and come late even to that as I am in NZ and we have to wait until the BBC releases things in our country. So when I received English Delight I was probably the last person in the world to listen to it
The appellation 'Mrs' was seen as somehow superior to the slightly derogatory 'Miss' with its connotations of spinsterhood and, as someone shudderingly put it 'the inability to catch a man'.
This seems to make sense to me, as Ms, for Miss, does not.

Javier comes to Elena's room. He walks in and says that Almondina gave him something to return to Elena. Javier hands Elena a picture of a woman in a wedding dress and says, "It's your mother, isn't it?" Elena acknowledges that it is. Javier says he didn't know that she was trying to copy her mother's dress, and that he forgot that her mother's not around anymore for her. Javier concludes, "That would be so hard for me." Elena says that she thought if she wore the dress, her mother would be there with her. Okay, I know this is sappy, but it's really sad. Javier tells Elena that they will call Almondina and get the dress perfect. Elena gives Javier a big hug. Snif.
Mr. Porter knocks on Felicity's apartment door. She opens it and asks whether he wants to come in. Mr. Porter says he has a car waiting downstairs, so Felicity follows him into the hall. Mr. Porter gives the signed papers back to Felicity. She looks down at them, and then says thanks, as if she's not sure those are the right words in this situation. Mr. Porter confesses that this is not how he wanted this trip to go, and that he loves her. Felicity says she knows, and that she loves him too. She continues, "I just...I think this is important. I'm not a little girl anymore." Mr. Porter asks how Cavallo liked her stuff. Felicity lies that he loved it, and that she got into the class. She smiles for her dad, who responds, "Good for you." The elevator arrives, so he hugs Felicity goodbye and leaves. Felicity stares down at the papers in her hand. While I do think that what Mr. Porter did kind of sucks, Felicity only has to take out loans for one year of college. One year! That's like nothing. But I guess she's more upset about the lack of parental support and her own lack of direction than the money.
Felicity walks down the street in slow motion as FVO says, "It's hard to articulate this thing that I'm so afraid of, the future. I mean, why should we be so afraid of the future? It's just time, isn't it?" Felicity sits alone on the roof. Noel shows up in his suit and asks what she's doing there. Felicity says that she came to see Noel, but that he wasn't there, so she came up to their "summer hangout." Noel takes a seat. Felicity asks how the job thing went. Noel says that it didn't happen, because "it turns out Rod likes a lot of people. Turns out Rod is fickle. Rod has problems." Felicity is sad for him, but Noel claims that it's not a big deal. Felicity thinks that it is, and Noel admits that she's right. Felicity reveals that she got turned down for the Honors Program. Noel is sad for her. Felicity says, "And it occurred to me, in sort of a huge way, that maybe my dad's right -- that we're just lost." Felicity cries a little, and Noel looks at her sadly. Noel asks how they can both be so wrong about each other. Noel leans forward and rests his forehead against hers, and then kisses her forehead. Felicity says, "Maybe we're just...I don't know." Noel continues to kiss her forehead, and it's starting to look a little less consoling than I'm comfortable with. Felicity looks up at him, and then raises her face to his and they kiss on the lips, softly at first, and then with more intensity. Then they're, like, full-on making out. My cry of "Nooooooooo!" echoes for miles around. And then there are no previews for the next episode. They're killing me.

Working Babies
Yes, it's exciting to have a kid in showbiz. But should young children be working?
Yuck! Your Kid Pooped in the Pool!
As about a dozen parents and tots eased into the shallow end at our first "mommy and me" swim lesson at our local pool, one father shocked me. He brought his 2-year-old son into the water wearing only his Underoos -- no swim diaper, no swimsuit.
Is Extreme Nursing Too Nasty?
While few would dispute the health benefits of breastfeeding for both mom and baby, not everyone wants to witness this lactating lovefest.
Marijuana Mamas!
A new wave of reefer madness is sweeping suburbia -- but it's not just teenagers who are lighting up. Middle-aged, middle-class soccer moms are smoking pot ... a lot. These women aren't stoners: they're teachers, lawyers, and, perhaps, even your neighbor who prefers puffing a joint to sipping chardonnay.
Are Troubled Teens Tortured?
Imagine a world where your child is locked away for years, spending days at a time in a windowless room. Communication is shut off and you have no way of knowing about their treatment, which may include being physically restrained for hours on end. This horrifying scenario isn't prison -- it's a voluntary program aimed at treating troubled teenagers.
Around the World in 36 Hours: Travel with a Tot
It's the trip I'd been dreading since the day my son was born, the epic voyage to my husband's homeland in India. Don't get me wrong, I love to travel and India is an amazing country to visit. But having a lap baby on board is a total game changer. Here's how I survived the cross continental conundrum.

"BYOD is about offering choice to customers. By embracing the consumerization of Information Technology (IT), the government can address the personal preferences of its employees, offering them increased mobility and better integration of their personal and work lives. It also enables employees the flexibility to work in a way that optimizes their productivity."
The above is from the new Federal agency "Bring Your Own Device" toolkit published by the Digital Services Advisory Group and Federal Chief Information Officers Council. The toolkit provides a list of key considerations to inform an agency BYOD policy, as well as a series of sample policies and three case studies on agencies that have put BYOD into practice. For all of this, the document has nothing to say about how – from a practical mobile app provisioning perspective – agencies can most effectively and securely accomodate BYOD.

Wide Deck Stairs - Not Straight

Wide Deck Stairs - Not Straight
I have deck that was built by the previous home owner. There is a set of stairs about 14 ft wide that were too steep, sloped down, and to my discovery had cracked and rotted stingers. So I started over. I cut new stringers and attached them. Everything is pretty level and an overall better layout.
The issue came when I slid the 2x4 cleat under the inside stringers (two outside stringers aren't notched, the rest are). The cleat was lined up flush with all but the last two stringers on one end. The stringers are 1/2" short. I check them and they are the same total run as the rest. I realized the deck is not straight. I am connecting to the outside 2x12 frame of the deck. All the deck planking butt-ends to these stairs. If I have this problem with the cleat than I will also with all the treads.
The only thing I can think of is shorten the top tread of the majority of stringers by a 1/2". Then I would have to rip the top back 2x6 tread to match the angle. That would be a 14' rip. Any better ideas?
The picture shows the stair area. The two "short" stringers would be the last two on the left. The bend in the deck frame seems to be happening at the support column under the deck on the left.

use a padding piece of treated lumber on the center to make up the difference??
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?

If you are trying to make up for the out-of-square deck then you are going to have a long rip in there somewhere. Either rip down that tip step or add a filler piece along the top.
Only other way is to seriously rebuild the deck and make is square - an option that I'm sure you do not want to do.

STS-V 3.23:1-differential gears were swapped in place of the stockpieces (the housings are the same for the Solstice, CTS-V, and STS-V,but the Vs have stronger gears), and a Z06 clutch pack was used to putpower to both tires. Some mounting and suspension changes were made toimprove performance. The single-bushing front mount was replaced with abillet aluminum, bolt-on, dual-bushing mount. (A single-bushing mount isstill on the housing on the passenger side.) This improves the rearend'sability to handle the LS7 power, especially when we bolt on the dragslicks.

nice jacket, the shell is very thin with absolutely no insulation or inner layer-thing. These jackets run really long and slim. I'm 5'9" and the Medium was hanging atleast an inch under my ass.

These boots are so comfortable. They are supportive yet flex enough for park. The fast track system works out real well. I'm always getting compliments on the blue colourway and they are super low profile. Everyone mistakes them for skate shoes. I wear them in deep pow and park and havn't failed me yet, way warm too.

Fabulous property on a gorgeous quiet beach
This is a really great house - cozy and comfortable with every amenity and on a spectacular site. The picture of the deck is very accurate. We spent a lot of time cooking out there and going down the steps to the beach. The house is deceptively spacious, with the three levels and two living rooms great for teens to have their own space. The kitchen is super well equipped - we entertained while we were there and it was really easy. Good supermarket and restaurants nearby at Manomet and also Plymouth, where we did the Mayflower, the Rock and the Plantation. There was a small plumbing problem just before the end of our stay and Wendy sent around a very efficient and courteous plumber who had it sorted in no time. All in all a fabulous first visit to Cape Cod and we will definitely be back. Orlaith, Ireland
cozy and comfortable with gorgeous view
My husband and I were looking for a nice relaxing place to stay at the end of the summer and came across 'the Waters Edge.' Denise and Jack welcomed my husband and I along with our two teenage sons. We stayed on the top two floors which were immaculate and carefully decorated with just the right touch. We brought our 17ft Searay and spent a lot of time enjoying the water from fishing to tubing and waterskiing. Great Herring pond was a very family friendly pond. We also enjoyed Denise and Jack's double kayak and paddle boat. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thank Jack and Denise for their welcoming manner. We also absolutely loved their dog Missy, who was a joy to be around.
We completely enjoyed our stay. Beautiful property
Everything was great. The beach is wonderful. The house is amazing. We are thinking about renting again next year.

I'm so excited to share a new season of" Quilting Arts TV" with you, especially the debut of our new host, Susan Brubaker Knapp.
I've often blogged about how hand embroidery projects are great for creating on-the-go. But even I was amazed when I saw new QATV host Susan Brubaker Knapp at Quilt Market wearing a denim jacket covered with hand embroidery designs.
Are you confident in your free-motion embroidery? Or do you just wish your free-motion quilting were more . . . free? Today's guest blogger, Candy Glendening, practices her free-motion motifs in sketchbooks
Last Tuesday at our staff's weekly show & tell circle, our newest colleague, Stitch
magazine Assistant Editor Abby Kaufman, showed us a small quilt she's
working on. We were all very impressed with the project, especially as
she is quilting it by hand.
I must have dozens of textural novelty yarns that I couldn't resist buying--or taking off of someone else's hands. I use them most often in my prayer flags and nest quilt designs, along with other snippets of fibers.
In The Art of Thread Sketching: Free Thread Drawing and Thread Painting Techniques, five quilt artists show you how to turn machine stitching into drawings with thread. Depending on the style and density of the stitching, thread sketching and thread painting can stand on its own or be combined with other techniques to give your quilt motifs dimension and life.
As you read this, picture me curled up on a comfortable chair by the fire, hand sewing. Although that's probably not the case, it's certainly what I would like to be doing on a cold, snowy day, wouldn't you?
Hand-sewing techniques and embroidery are so much easier if you use the right tools. Sharp needles, tiny scissors, and exquisite threads are in every sewing kit, but the humble thimble is often overlooked.
As you read this I am on vacation, happily snuggled in on a chair by the fire with my pug, Elvis, peacefully hand stitching.
How did you learn to quilt? In my family, the women passed down needlecraft techniques like sewing, embroidery, knitting, and quilting.
Hand sewing is the foundation of needlecraft, and quilting is no exception. But trust art quilters to take needlework and turn it on its head!
Every time I think I that I am too busy to make any art, I come across an artist who has found a way to fit fiber art into her day—even if it is just a bit of hand sewing.
I often look at someone's art and wonder who inspired them to quilt, embroider, and stitch. Did they start by hand sewing or go straight to the machine?
In reality, can you ever have enough buttons? To me, it seems that no matter how many I collect, there are times when my stash is lacking just the right button to complete a quilt's surface design.

In an effort to increase participation and Canton's Curbside Recycling Program, Canton Waste Recycling is now offering Single Stream Recycling (SSR) to all residents.
A collection process that uses advanced sorting technology which allows all recyclables to be collected in one truck and sorted at an automated plant instead of at the curbside.
This process has proven to be a more efficient way of recycling and has dramatically increased recycling participation worldwide. SSR is not only more efficient, it also allows residents to recycle more products with less effort.
Although Canton's SSR program won't begin until April 2009, CWR is currently experimenting with new equipment needed to handle the program.
You should call Canton Waste Recycling at 734/397-5801 with questions regarding your service.
Please Note: If there are any unacceptable items in your recycling bin CWR will not pick it up. In addition, any recyclable material that is not in the bin or in a clear plastic bag will not be picked up.
Additional recycling bins are available in the Canton Treasurer's Office, located on the first floor of Canton's Administration Building.
The cost for an additional bin is $10.IMPORTANT: If your house gets missed you must report it to CWR that day, otherwise CWR will not be able to pick up your recyclables until your next regular collection day.
For every one million sheets of paper not printed, 85 pulp trees are saved.
If all morning newspapers read in the United States were recycled, 41,000 trees would be saved daily and 6 million tons of waste would never end up in landfills.
Recycling an aluminum can saves enough energy to run a television set for three hours.
Each year, steel recycling saves the energy equivalent to electrically power about one-fifth of U.S. households for one year.
Saves valuable landfill space at Sauk Trail Hills in Canton.
If you did not find an answer to your question here, please call Canton Public Works at 734/394-5150.
You should call Canton Waste Recycling at 734/397-5801 with questions regarding your service.
Single Stream Recycling refers to a system in which all paper fibers and containers are mixed together in a collection truck, instead of being sorted into separate commodities (newspaper, cardboard, plastic, glass, etc.) by the resident and handled separately throughout the collection process. In single stream, both the collection and processing systems must be designed to handle this fully commingled mixture of recyclables.
Proponents of single stream note several advantages:
To participate, simply place your recyclables in your regular recycling bin and set it out on the opposite of your trash on your regular pick-up day. Clear plastic bags can be used for additional items if you bin is full. Additional recycling bins are also available in the Treasurers Office, located on the first floor of Canton's Administration Building. The cost for an additional bin is $10.
Simply put, the Single Stream method requires no sorting of recyclables on the part of our customer - it's a method that allows residents to put all of their household recycling in to one cart and is easier and more convenient.
No, Canton Waste Recycling will not be handing out new bins. Your green plastic bin will still be used for SSR. Additional recycling bins are available in the Treasurers Office, located on the first floor of Canton's Administration Building. The cost for an additional bin is $10.
No, your recycling day will still be the same day as your trash pick-up.
Download your complete list of what is and is not accepted in Canton's curbside recycling program.
Paper Milk or Juice Cartons
Please check the Canton Community Calendar for upcoming Hazardous
Your recyclables should be rinsed of food residue. All paper put into the bin must be dry.
Yes, clear plastic bags can be used to hold all recyclables; however please do NOT tie the bags. CWR employees need to empty it into the truck so that all recyclables can be sorted at the processing plant. In addition, newspapers should NOT be bound with a string.
No, shredded paper is NOT an acceptable SSR item. If shredded paper is found in your recycling bin, the bin will not be picked up.
All recyclables MUST be placed into the bin or into clear plastic bags. Cardboard boxes need to be broken down and placed into the bin, if they exceed the size of the bin please use clear plastic bags. CWR recommends "Iron Built" plastics bags which can be purchased from the Canton ACO located at Joy and Morton Taylor Roads.
Yes, any item on the acceptable materials list can be placed into a clear plastic bag. Please do NOT tie plastic bags. CWR employees will need to empty the bags into the collection trucks.
No, tissue boxes can be placed in the bin with the plastic still intact.
If CWR notices an unacceptable item in the bin, the bin will NOT be picked up. Please refer to the SSR guide for a complete list of what is and is not accepted.

Hi: 18° Lo:7°
By Dan Santy Monday 19 November 2012 Updated: 22/11 11:44
MOBO-award nominated jazz singer Zara McFarlane will be previewing tracks from her upcoming album in Rugby at Rugby Jazz's first concert.
The 28-year-old singer will appear at Lawrence Sheriff School on Saturday November 24, just a few weeks after appearing at the MOBOs in Liverpool having been nominated in the best jazz category.
She said: "I'm really looking forward to performing in Rugby, where my band and I will feature plenty of songs from my debut CD, Until Tomorrow.
"We find ourselves ahead of schedule with our new material, which means some tracks from the new album will be heard live for the very first time. I hope the people in Rugby will like them."
Already available for preview is Zara's rendition of Junior Murvin's reggae classic Police and Thieves, previously covered by The Clash. The video for her version has already been viewed on Youtube 18,000 times.
Rugby Jazz promoter, Chris French, said the new version shows Zara's music will appeal to a range of audiences, and not just jazz fans.
He added: "I believe we can safely stake a claim we are set to see the first ever MOBO nominee appear in Rugby.
"Zara deserves this accolade for many reasons, especially for such a great debut album, full of excellent, new, and I'm pleased to say, original songs."
Doors open at 7pm. Tickets cost £10 and are available from www.rugbyroots.com or from Sounds on Church Street.
For more information call Chris French on 07855 463 934.

10 debt management tips for new grads
If you're newly graduated from college with student loans, you need a plan to reduce that debt.
This post comes from Allison Martin at partner site Money Talks News.
Congratulations! You've just completed an important milestone in your life.
So now it's time to face reality. What will be your next step? If you had financial help along the way, it won't be long before those you owe come knocking.
The student loan debt won't pay itself, and many lenders have no sympathy for recent college graduates with limited or no income. So, you'll need to quickly figure out how you will take care of your monthly obligations once the repayment period starts.
And on top of the loans, what about credit card debt? Have those outstanding balances also spiraled out of control?
Here are a few helpful tips to consider when managing your debt:
1. Do the math
In other words, know what you owe or it will be impossible to develop a practical debt reduction plan. To get organized, Forbes suggests that you:
Compile a list of all your loans, including the name, Web address and contact information for the lender, the loan ID number, the current loan balance, the interest rate and the date the first payment is due. FinAid's Student Loan Checklist can help you organize this information. Put all correspondence for each loan into its own file folder, labeled with the loan ID number.
2. Come up with a plan of action
Once you have determined how much you owe, create a realistic spending plan that will allow you to take care of your monthly obligations, including student loan and credit card debt. That way, you will have a plan for every dollar, even before it hits your bank account.
When listing your projected expenses, remember that living in the real world is a lot more expensive than the college life you're used to. Rarely will you find all-inclusive housing. Also, don't expect to find a free meal when your stomach starts to speak to you and your pockets are shallow. It may be a little tough to adjust at first, especially considering all the new bills, but hang in there.
3. Save
If you are starting off with a decent salary, be careful not to exhaust all of your income each month. Instead, save for a rainy day and allocate any additional disposable income to outstanding debt balances.
What if you graduated debt-free? Save as much as you can because you never know when hard times or new opportunities that require you to spend a little change will come your way.
It is very possible that you could enter the workforce and decide that particular career path isn't for you. And if you have a little cash to fall back on, you can afford to take some time off to explore other options, relocate or even start a business.
4. Move in with your parents
You may be cringing at the thought of leaving your newfound life of freedom and moving back home, but it may not be such a bad idea if your parents are willing to welcome you back with open arms. Not only will you have more time to prepare for the real world, but you'll also be able to save a little cash while doing so.
5. Don't be tempted by new offers
After graduation, you shouldn't automatically aim to live a more luxurious life unless you have lived in the real world for quite some time and are debt-free with a nice cushion in the bank.
And what are the chances that this is you? Highly unlikely. So avoid the new-car payment, all the many credit card offers that come in the mail, and other offers that tempt you to spend money. Even if you landed a sweet gig, you could find out that you're a horrible money manager or can't really afford it because you were unrealistic or laid off.
6. Keep up with your payments
It may be best to sign up for automatic withdrawal so you don't fall behind on student loan payments.
"Not only does this save you on postage and the hassle of writing a check each month, but education lenders often give borrowers who make their payments by auto-debit a small interest rate reduction, typically 0.25 percent or 0.50 percent," says Forbes.
And if you miss a due date or the account becomes delinquent, you could be hit with late penalties and a rather large ding to your credit score.
7. Negotiate
If you are having a difficult time keeping up, don't wait until you are drowning to reach out to the creditors and see if they'll work with you. If you're desperate, student loan consolidation may be an option.
If you are saddled by credit card debt, inquire about a balance transfer to a new card with an enticing promotional offer or see if your existing issuer will lower the APR and agree to a restructured payment schedule.
8. Steer clear of more student loans
Graduate school is tempting, especially if the job market is dry, but you will only end up with more debt. The other loans won't go away; they'll just continue to grow. And once you have earned your second degree, you'll be right back at square one unless you've managed to land the job of your dreams before graduation.
9. Take care of yourself
It's never wise to forgo health insurance to make ends meet. Sign up for health insurance at your workplace. If it's not offered there or you're unemployed, inquire if you're eligible to purchase health insurance through HealthCare.gov even though open enrollment has ended. There are exemptions that may make you eligible before open enrollment begins again. Or perhaps your parents can add you to their plan.
10. Pick up a part-time job
Are you going through the interview process or still waiting to hear back from prospective employers regarding recent applications? It's understandable that you may not want to lock into a low-paying full-time position.
Instead, get a part-time job that provides flexibility to search for more lucrative opportunities and brings in a little income at the same time.
Do you have any additional debt management advice for college graduates?

WWE All Stars Review (Xbox 360)
Posted by Jim Cook, Mar 30, 2011 09:05
Arcade-style, simplified takes on a sport can be very fun. NBA Jam did it with basketball, and WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game did likewise for pro wrestling. WWE All Stars tries to do the same thing today, and mostly succeeds. Matches are played similarly to how they are in the Smackdown vs. Raw series, albeit with even easier controls and little concern for things like stamina or limb damage... and even most of the usual rules of wrestling are more like suggestions this time around. This is combined with a strong roster of famous wrestlers over the decades, a clear love of wrestling history that fans will appreciate, and enough variety in content to keep you interested.
Instead of using complex motions like many fighting games, All Stars prefers to simply use as many of your controller's provided buttons as possible, such that most techniques only require you to press one or two buttons and an analog stick direction. It works surprisingly well, with strikes and grappling moves on the face buttons, bumpers for deflecting those same attacks, and the triggers for actions such as running, pinning, or climbing the turnbuckle. It will take several minutes to learn all of them, but memorization is the only requirement; with controls this simple it's easy to do exactly what you want. Matches generally feature two or more wrestlers pounding on one another until one runs out of health and is hit by a sufficiently strong move to knock them down, at which point it's easy to apply a finishing technique or go for the pin.
What makes things exciting is just how exaggerated these simple ideas are. The game's art style gives each wrestler comically over-developed muscles, and they're put to use in slams and strikes that can send foes bouncing off the mat where they can be hit with a juggle combo. Signature attacks are every bit as ring-shaking, with wrestlers doing impressive acrobatic feats and carrying foes probably a good fifteen feet into the air for piledrivers, jumping chokeslams, and more. Very 'deep', loud sound effects back this up; it looks and sounds like your wrestler just did something completely insane to their opponent, and watching this is a good part of the game's fun. This sort of silliness precludes it from being a serious wrestling 'sim' like Smackdown vs. Raw, but also makes it a more playful take on a fighting game; it's more for wild fun than it is serious tournament play.
All Stars is well aware one of its biggest selling points is how much WWF/WWE history it draws upon, and the developers made great use of it. Not only do you have classic wrestlers like Bret Hart and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka competing alongside modern wrestlers such as John Cena, but most of them have their famous music and signature behavior well portrayed here. One mode even sets up 'what if?' rivalries between many of these wrestlers, using well edited footage to make it seem like one historical Legend and one active Superstar have a grudge to settle and determine who truly is the best in their respective expertise.
That said, playing against the AI gets old very quickly. While not particularly hard to defeat, it doesn't play at all like a human. Having about thirty wrestlers, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, is only exciting if you have someone to play against. Fortunately the low learning curve and ease of controls, combined with competent online play, means it shouldn't be too hard to find opponents. And if one on one matches aren't quite your taste, perhaps tornado tag (two against two, all fighting simultaneously), four way free for alls, and cage matches may be more interesting to you. There is even a basic create-a-wrestler mode, and while it isn't as detailed as Smackdown vs. Raw modes tend to be it's at least passable. Overall, there should be enough content to keep you busy for a while.
WWE All Stars is a fun arcade style fighting game with a decidedly 'casual' take on things; it's easy to learn, and goes to great lengths to give you things to go "wow!" about. If you're expecting a hardcore, tournament-oriented fighting game... this isn't it, All Stars is here to be wild and silly. It will best appeal to current WWE fans, those who would enjoy an easier to control take on the Smackdown vs. Raw mechanics, and especially those who have very fond memories of the WWE back in the 80s and 90s; All Stars goes to great lengths to indulge such nostalgia. If you're willing to accept that this game has traded depth for accessibility and you have someone to play with (the AI makes for a very boring opponent), then wrestling fans would do well to check it out.

This recipe is basically an omelette in a different form. Needs spices, like onion, chives, oregano maybe. Strangely, I added two jalapenos because my husband and I like heat, but we could not taste them - no heat. I think the dairy may have neutralized the jalopenos.

Metaphorical abstraction
Here's a budding idea I have, thanks to a discussion Mattias and I had last week… It is often said that the human mind deals with complexity by abstraction – that is, that complex things are represented by abstractions, or higher-level concepts, so that the whole becomes understandable.
But it is also true that abstractions are metaphorical, and I suspect that this is something that's important to realize. What I mean is that the mind, or perhaps the culture (the "collective mind"), creates a metaphor for complex things, in order to be able to deal with the things without having to explore that complexity any further.
Our discussion was about, among other things, feng-shui. An example to illustrate what I mean, from a feng-shui website:
To keep negative energy from developing, the house should not have long, narrow corridors, maze-like hallways, dark corners, or steep stairways.
Skeptics probably dismiss talk about "negative energy" as superstition, but a badly-lit house (or too brightly-lit, for that matter) can certainly feel like a place with negative energy. In a way, the metaphoric abstraction "negative energy" hides the complexity of the reaction that happens inside you when you enter a badly-lit house. The "cure" for this negative energy is obvious: "To promote the flow of positive energy, hallways and stairways should be wide and well-lighted." There's no "magic" to this at all.
Another example, perhaps a little more controversial, this time from another feng-shui website: "If you wish to improve your existing relationship, place a family photo in your south west corner of your home, make sure it is a happy photo or even a painting of a family." The act of placing a photo in a particular corner is an act of attention. Every time you see it, you will be reminded of its purpose, which will make you more aware about your desire to improve your relationship.
The whole "network of events", created by seeing the photo, remembering its purpose and the remembrance affecting your interactions with your partner – this network would be vast and consist of a lot of subtle things, but such acts do make a difference. Relationships often suffer because you don't think about showing your love, and all things that helps you to remember this are of help.
Anyway, "placing a family photo" would be a metaphor for this complex network of events. It hides the complexity, and the motivation for this is that you don't want to deal with the complexity – you're interested in the results. Feng-shui tips like these are actually, I think, equivalent patterns, in that they document "best practices", giving you a handy name to represent a complex thing.
I don't know why I began thinking about this, but somehow I think that only talking about "abstractions" neglects the fact that you can use your creativity to invent a metaphor to hide complexity, a metaphoric abstraction, which will be perhaps even more powerful – especially if there's no obvious mapping in the real world for the complexity that you want to hide. (This is related to the GRASP pattern Pure Fabrication.)
If your team agrees that an "aardvark" is an engine that is fed with data in some format and produces some information, that would be a metaphorical abstraction, and in this case it doesn't matter that an aardvark is a completely different thing in the real world. If you should require all abstractions to be one-to-one mapped to reality, the abstractions would in some cases be less powerful.

Arizona Fall League Capsules
We update you on all the latest happenings in the Arizona Fall League.
We update you on all the latest happenings in the Arizona Fall League.
The Arizona Fall League gets starts its 15th season today, and we profile the highest-profile arm in the league: 2006 No. 1 overall pick Luke Hochevar.
As the Arizona Fall League prepares to begin its 15th season in the desert, we break down the three most intriguing prospects from each of the six AFL clubs.
Preliminary rosters for the Arizona Fall League.
The AFL has always been known as a premier hitter's league, and that trend picked up in 2005, as all-time league records fell one after the other. Among the marks shattered were batting average (.296), runs per game (12.14), hits per game (20.83), slugging percentage (.469) and ERA (5.40).
Chris Kline discussed the surprises and disappointments of his trip to Arizona for the Arizona Fall League when chatting with readers.
The AFL has always been known as a premier hitter's league, and that trend picked up in 2005, as all-time league records fell one after the other. Among the marks shattered were batting average (.296), runs per game (12.14), hits per game (20.83), slugging percentage (.469) and ERA (5.40). Still, three pitchers made the cut on the Top 20—two more than last year. Athletics righthander Huston Street, BA's 2005 Rookie of the Year, was the lone pitcher on the 2004 AFL list.
We caught up with Twins outfielder Denard Span to talk about his swing, how his approach to stealing bases has changed over the years, and second-guessing himself early in his career.
The past two weeks have been interesting for Alex Gordon. After the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft signed on Sept. 29, he hopped a plane the same day and started taking ground balls at first base in instructional league to prepare for the AFL season.
We caught up with Ryan Zimmerman to find out where he's been, what the busiest year of his life has been like, and how it was making his big league debut three months after signing a contract.
Ian Stewart and Andy LaRoche, both 2003 picks, have yet to reach the majors but have the tools to top Ryan Zimmerman's performance once they do. Both offer big raw power and both have the ability to hit for average. However, both are still learning the nuances of the position and neither has gotten off to a hot offensive start in the hitter-friendly AFL.
We caught up with Diamondbacks lefty Bill Murphy to talk about being dealt multiple times in a short span, having an off year while battling through a hamstring injury and trying to stay mentally positive in his first year as a Diamondback.
Angels righthander Jered Weaver finished up 2005 at Double-A Arkansas, allowing three earned runs on six hits in his final start against Midland in the Texas League championship series. His fastball, slider and changeup were all quality pitches into the postseason, where he struck out 16 in 13 innings over two starts. But so far in the Arizona Fall League, Weaver has quickly found out that this isn't the Texas League anymore. In seven innings, the Angels' first-round pick in 2004 has allowed seven runs on 12 hits. His secondary numbers are still solid, with a 12-2 strikeout-walk ratio.
We caught up with Stephen Drew to talk about his mindset during his contract holdout, playing independent ball in Camden, right across the river from the city that once threw batteries at his brother J.D. for not signing with the Phillies, and his first taste of life as a pro.
Stephen Drew was the high Class A California League player of the week three times during his six healthy weeks at Lancaster, and after a injury-induced blip after a promotion to Double-A Tennessee, he continued his productive work for Phoenix of the Arizona Fall League, where he had a home run on Opening Day and three homers in his first four games.
Brandon Wood set a Fall League record by hitting four home runs in a 20-1 victory over Grand Canyon on Oct. 10, and had nine homers in his first nine games. He also had a single Oct. 10, his 17 total bases setting another league record.
A third baseman since signing as a 2003 first-round pick, Eric Duncan has played five games at first base and taken extra work there almost every day during his stay in the Arizona Fall League.
Even if it means coffee with the roosters and a 45-minute crosstown drive, New York Mets top prospect Lastings Milledge is so serious absorbing the nuances of hitting that he is a regular at Grand Canyon hitting coach John Mallee's 8 a.m. film study sessions this Arizona Fall League season.
This is the 14th season for the Arizona Fall League, Major League Baseball's domestic, developmental league for prospects. In many ways, it's the ultimate Baseball America league, with rosters bulging with many of the best young players in the game today. Let's take a look at the top players on each team, broken down by the following categories: Best Pitching Prospect, Best Position Prospect, Emerging Player, and a player who is bouncing back—either from injury or who has come to the AFL to get more work and experience after a down year.
While it's not nearly as exciting as the list of participating players, the managers and coaches were named on Monday for the 2005 Arizona Fall League.

How to Start a Successful Kickstarter Campaign
The security guard of my building recently approached me and politely asked if I was interested in making a donation to her son's rugby team, who are trying to raise money for a trip. My response was to instinctively ask for their Kickstarter page, which really illustrates how commonplace the funding website has become.
From zombie RPGs and iPad stands to films, novels and artisan food, Kickstarter is an essential site for anyone interested in funding a project.
In the span of about three years, Kickstarter has managed to help 24,000 projects find over $250 million worth of funding from two million people. If you've got an enterprising idea that could use an infusion of funds, whether it be home crafted jewelry or your book on design, Kickstarter is an ideal way to get connected to backers. However, not every Kickstarter campaign is a victory, and it's important to note that Kickstarter is a crowd-sourced model, which means if you don't meet your goal, your project doesn't get the funds. There are things you can do to increase your chances of success, such as:
MAKE A VIDEO: This is one of the most vital aspects of any Kickstarter campaign; projects with a video succeed 50% of the time (vs projects that don't, which succeed 30% of the time). Videos should be as professional and creative as possible and should include as much information as possible about your project. Things like who you are, the story behind your project, what stage it is in now, and how you're feeling about it can all help appeal to backers. Come out and ask for support and explain why you need it and what you'll do with with the money. List your awesome rewards (see below) and explain that if you don't reach your goal, your project receives no funding. Consider including a prototype, design element or trailer, and be sure to THANK everyone.
HAVE A RANGE OF CREATIVE AND AWESOME REWARDS: Rewards are what you provide your backers with for their support: for example, one filmmaker sent out a celluloid still shot of each minute of the film he was shooting — one minute for each dollar donated. These are things that should ideally be made by the project itself or at least closely associated. If you're producing a book or CD, you can offer a pre-order for a certain donation amount, or tickets to a show or a band t-shirt. Get creative, and offer a nice range of rewards across donation amounts; projects with a reward for a donation of less then $25 succeed 54% of the time.
HAVE A SPECIFIC GOAL: This is probably the other most vital part of your campaign, not only because projects with specific actionable titles do better, but also because "be transparent at all times" is a tenet of Kickstarters' guidelines. It means, clearly define the scope of your project and how you plan to achieve your goal. To start with, the title of your project should be a call to action; "The Santa Maria Annual Film Festival" becomes "We Need a Venue for the Santa Maria Annual Film Festival." Make sure you clearly outline exactly how the funds will be used, i.e. "We need money to reserve a venue for the film festival, rent chairs, rent a projector, pay food vendors and hire security and ticket takers."
SET A REALISTIC AMOUNT: Again, if you don't reach your proposed goal, your project doesn't get funded, so it doesn't necessarily pay off to ask for a few thousand more than you've budgeted. That being said, budget out how much you anticipate needing for every part of the project, including account production, manufacturing, labor, packaging and shipping costs. Don't forget to factor in the price of the rewards you're offering your backers. If you're lucky enough to meet your goal, don't stop! Offer to up the ante on the rewards if you meet a new, revised goal and detail what will happen with the extra funds.
HAVE A TIMELINE: It's good to have a timeline in place; not only do projects lasting 30 days or less have the highest success rates, but a timeline is essential for staying on track to do things like send updates, record new videos on your progress, email thank you's, or set mailing dates for sending out your backer's rewards.
SPREAD THE WORD: When you get a new backer, send a personal thank you and ask them to share your page with any of their friends and contacts who may also be interested in your project. Gently remind your friends on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. Keep everyone updated by posting videos and photos of your progress to your Kickstarter and social media pages, and sending out emails to backers. Also, reach out to your local community if possible: bands can put up posters about their campaigns at local venues and record stores, film projects can leave fliers at theaters and video rental stores.

This is not specifically about the point of the article but, has anyone used kickstarter to help fund a high school sports team and a specific goal/trip/equipment? It stems from the author's initial reaction so I was just curios to see if that has worked?
We considered using Kickstarter to raise funds for a team of high school students to travel to a creative-problem-solving competition. Our conclusion was that Kickstarter's guidelines, which focus on "creative" projects, weren't a perfect fit for our project.
Kickstarter has to approve each project and our timeline was short (and we were afraid of being rejected) so we went with another crowd-sourced funding site, called GoFundMe. The user interface isn't nearly as slick as Kickstarter but it still allowed geographically distant supporters of our project to easily make donations. I think for something like a sports team (where a lot of the donors are probably friends and family members, which was our situation), something like GoFundMe would probably work as well as Kickstarter (we raised $3,500 in three weeks and you get the money for even if you don't meet your goal; fees are about the same as KS). For other projects (like the arts-based things Kickstarter is more geared toward), where supporters may be friends of friends of friends of the fundraiser, KS is obviously fabulous. And the tips mentioned in this post apply to both.
A couple more detailed Kickstarter how-to posts from a composer and producer who has done this a lot (Complete with super-useful budget-planning spreadsheet!):
I´ve recently funded my project. I will like to advice to be careful with the many spam you will receive guaranteeing traffic to your project. If you need any advice related you can write me any time http://kck.st/U6DdnD
