Is the city trying to stop
homeless food service?
No! The city is trying to improve the quality, quantity and distribution
of food for the homeless through training and coordination.
In the spring of 2012, the Houston City Council approved an ordinance establishing a voluntary program to coordinate outdoor food service operations for the homeless. The intent of the ordinance was three pronged:
- to improve the quality, quantity and distribution of food provided outdoors;
- to expand the opportunities for the homeless to connect with service providers; and
- to reduce the disproportionate environmental impact of food service operations on public and private property.
The program consists of four basic steps:
- Registration of the formal or informal food service organization. Registration includes contact information, proposed schedule, location and proposed food to be served.
- Free food handling training for one or more members of the food service group provided by the Houston Department of Health and Human Services. The training also includes information from the Coalition for the Homeless about working with the homeless and referral information for additional services needed by the homeless.
- The only mandatory step is a requirement to obtain owner consent before using either public or private property for food service of more than five people. This is required for both registered and non-registered food service operations.
- Coordination of location and times of food service to maximize the distribution of food throughout the week.
The ordinance was the result of months of discussion among various city departments, homeless service agencies, law enforcement, homeless food service organizations and private property owners and managers.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why does Houston want to register charitable food service of the homeless?
First and foremost, the city wants to ensure that homeless individuals have sufficient wholesome food to meet their needs. Because of the previous lack of coordination, too much food was distributed on weekend mornings to certain locations over-serving a group of people while no food was available at other times of the day and days of the week. Hopefully, enough organizations will register and, through coordination, we can improve the safety and availability of more food for the homeless.
Outdoor food service operations should be an additional opportunity to assist a homeless person to access services that may enable them to acquire housing, treatment, training or any other service that could improve their life.
The city also has an obligation to reduce the frequently negative aspects of outdoor food service operations such as litter, waste and congestion. Participants in the voluntary registration program commit to manage their litter, and coordination will expand the availability of food delivery locations.
Why do I need permission to provide food on public property?
Public property belongs to all of us and it needs to be shared equitably. Large scale or recurring activities of all kinds already require permission for use of public property. It is unlikely that a food service organization will be denied permission to use public property, but it may need to be coordinated with other public activities.
Do I have to participate in the voluntary program if on private property?
Food service activity conducted on one's own property is not covered by the ordinance. There is no penalty for food service operations outside of the voluntary registration program. However, all feeders, in or out of the voluntary registration program must obtain permission to operate on public or private property.
Does anyone support this ordinance?
Yes. Participants have been surprised to learn in some cases their food service activities were being duplicated and their food was being discarded by the homeless. Organizations attending the food service training classes report that they never realized how complicated the problem of homelessness was and they are grateful for the training about food and services. Participants have also recognized that the opportunities to provide food are not restricted to downtown; their services are also needed in other areas of the city and county. Organizations that conduct food service inside their facilities appreciate the coordination of volunteers and the fact that the volunteers are more informed about referral possibilities. The homeless themselves report more confidence in the safety of the food from the registered providers. Property managers in some of the hardest affected areas of town report slight improvements since the initiation of the program July 1.
How do I get permission for use of city property?
Call 832-393-5100 or email email@example.com.

- Houston Homeless Coalition - The Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to lead in the development and implementation of community strategies to prevent and end homelessness. In 1982 at the request of then Harris County Judge Jon Lindsey and Houston Mayor Kathryn Whitmire, the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/Harris County (the Coalition) was founded by area homeless social services for an exploding number of people who were homeless that were emerging as a result of local economic deterioration. In 1988, the Coalition incorporated as a 501(c) 3.

We hear a lot about green coffee beans as an antioxidant as well as an aid to weight loss. Is all the talk just hype or is there really some truth to all the praises being sung about this product?
Green coffee beans Singapore are, as their name implies, raw, unroasted coffee beans. The beneficial properties of this fruit of the coffee plant are lost during the roasting process. But a brew from green coffee beans or its extract results in a beverage that is less bitter and lower in caffeine.
Fitness and health experts alike encourage the use of these supplements to promote good health. The supplements come from the processing of the coffee beans into an extract. While the claims that these supplements actually cure certain diseases is a bit of an exaggeration, the extract does do its part in contributing to the healing process and to a person's general health and well-bring.
Its All Natural
The extract is an all natural product rather than deriving from a synthetic source as is often true of the medicines we buy. Another proven benefit of unroasted green coffee beans is that they contain chlorogenic acid, which is known to increase metabolism, thereby helping the body burn calories faster without the risk of developing an over abundance of glucose. If you were wondering where to get this supplement in Singapore, here's the answer: Best Singapore Supplements.
While the roasted coffee beans are high in caffeine content, this is not so with green coffee beans. You can enjoy the boost of energy derived by this coffee product without the accompanying jitters. In addition, they have anti-aging properties and are thought to reduce Cellulite, maintain healthy blood sugar levels and lower blood pressure.
Summary Of The Supplement
In summary, green coffee beans indeed offer many health benefits with no adverse side effects. They have even been featured on the Dr. Oz show for their antioxidant and overall health benefits. Just be sure to purchase high quality supplements from a trusted health food store rather than those being developed by the pharmaceutical companies who are trying to capitalize on the popularity of this product.

At festive commencement exercises on Friday, June 3 at Columbia's Wein Stadium, Monroe College President Stephen Jerome conferred degrees on more Bronx campus students than at any other year in the school's 73-year history.
On Monroe's Bronx campus this year, 538 Monroe graduates earned Baccalaureate Degrees and 971 were granted Associate's Degrees.
In his address to the graduates, President Jerome advised them to, "never forget the past, appreciate the present, and look to the future with anticipation and enthusiasm."
The commencement speaker at the graduation was WNYW/Fox 5 news anchor Lyn Brown. Brown, a member of the Bronx Walk of Fame, urged the graduates to overcome obstacles. "Behind every corner and every door there will always be a dragon for you to slay," she said. "Through all of that, think about the window that is always open somewhere. It's about who you are and what you are and what you bring to the table."
On Monday, June 13, Monroe's New Rochelle campus will hold its commencement exercises at the Westchester County Center.

June 5, 1892–July 6, 1973
CHARLES SNOWDEN PIGGOT WAS one of the founding fathers of ocean-bottom marine research. He was, in fact, a pioneer in the study of geologic phenomena in the ocean basins, whose work has revolutionized the way earth scientists view earth evolution. There were no ocean drilling projects when he began his research into radium activity in sediments. Consequently, he not only had to develop laboratory facilities for the measurements, but also had to design and build a coring device capable of obtaining undisturbed cores up to three meters in length. Techniques up to that time had been capable of collecting small surface samples of sediments with a grappling device, but the stratigraphic record was destroyed even in those limited samples. As Piggot stated, such samples give information about present conditions only and divulge nothing of past events. It is these past events that reveal valuable information about geologic processes at work on land as well as in the ocean basins.
His investigations finally produced reliable dates on sediments and sedimentation rates from the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Basin over a time span of some 300,000 years. Foraminiferal data from the cores, provided mainly

Darque Tan's arsenal of beds, booths, and nourishing lotions infuses visiting bodies with sun-kissed color. Along with at least 20 tanning beds, each location brims with tan-savvy staff members—each certified through the International Smart Tan Network—who can work with you to customize a program based on your tanning goals, skin type, and relation to black-and-white movie starlets. A dedicated full-time cleaning staff regularly runs through a 50-point inspection process between sessions, helping to create a sanitary tanning experience and keep clients from warming up 6-foot-long paninis during appointments.
At all of Q Nails And Tanning's stations, the cosmetologists and manicurists display their licenses, and they're happy to talk about them with customers. That's because, in addition to being highly trained in their fields, the staff members take pride in their ability to foster easygoing conversation and cultivate a social, laid-back environment where clients feel comfortable and welcome. As clients and technicians engage in comfortable back-and-forth, fingers and toes find their own things to brag about, including new sets of acrylic, gel, or pink-and-white nails that enable them to steal the thunder back from player pianos. Once fingers and toes are looking polished, clients can better the rest of the body with lie-down or standup tanning sessions, as well as facials, waxing services, and eyelash extensions.
A wildly successful alternative to traditional day spas—its more than 300 locations blanket 36 states and half a dozen countries—Planet Beach Contempo Spa is a futuristic relaxation station where state-of-the-art machines administer all the spa and tanning services. These friendly automatons sometimes replace familiar treatments, such as the Luminous facial, a light-based service that delivers blemish-busting results similar to those of a conventional facial. But other equipment maps out new spa territory entirely: the Hydro-Derma Fusion chamber moisturizes the whole body with nutrient-rich steam in order to offset the effects of a dry climate or a rear-end collision with a salt truck. Other machines whiten teeth, spray-tan skin, and massage muscles.
Planet Beach operates on a gym-style membership system, meaning members purchase packages or pay flat monthly rates. As members spend more time at the spa, they get to know the helpful assistants who are always on hand to demonstrate how to use the equipment without activating its ability to cry.
For more than 58 years, the lovable, lawful launderers at Elite Cleaners have churned out crisp collars and shiny civvies in a tidy, punctual manner. Each of their two comfy, clean storefronts features easy drive-up parking, allowing you to quickly drop off bratty apparel like a shirt ($2.99–$3.99 laundered, $6.99 dry-cleaned), pants ($6.99 dry-cleaned), full suit ($13.98 dry-cleaned), or full dress ($13.98 dry-cleaned) for watchful garb-sitting with your choice of timely services, which include expedited one-hour or same-day jobs. You can further enhance your tidy exterior glow with the tanning service, which marinates corpuses at the Loretto location.
A friendly staff stands ready to introduce bronzers to custom Norvell spray tans through a wide selection of basic to high-pressure tanning beds as well as DaVinci teeth-whitening treatments. Premier packages grant tanners unlimited access to Sunna's assortment of standup and lie-down beds, including models with facial tanners, ideal for fostering base tans, and beds with built-in fans that keep climates comfortable and inhospitable to Viking invaders. Alternatively, the tanning technicians can custom-blend the Norvell UV spray-tan solution to find the best golden hue for each body. The staff then deftly deliver even coats of color that can last for up to 10 days, using nozzles that help remove uneven tan lines caused by falling asleep beneath a ladder. Each private room stores a host of amenities, including a remote-controlled stereo system as well as fresh towels and lotions.
Golden Tan Salons recognizes the importance of cultivating an eye-catching glow at all four of their area locations. After a complimentary tour and consultation, certified tanning professionals direct patrons toward quick misting in a spray-tanning booth. Horizontal, vertical, and open-style beds build tans with UV light instead of bronze Legos as patrons enjoy features such as built-in air conditioning and aromatherapy. The team also recommends products to nourish skin and extend the life of tans.

Joe Johnson Real Ships Review
Real Ships, owned by Joe Johnson, is a builder of custom boats located on the Gulf Coast in lower Alabama. Begun in the 1990s, Real Ships specializes in yachts with all-steel hulls with custom interiors. The company's shipyard in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, features a state-of-the-art CAD-CAM design team. This design team works closely with customers to either modify one of Real Ships' existing layouts, or to draw up a completely new design. Real Ships can also construct a design from an outside company. Construction uses plate steel for the hull and aluminum for the pilothouse, bonded by a patented DuPont bimetal strip. The production team at Real Ships includes skilled welders, designers, and former ship pilots and captains. Real Ships focuses exclusively on custom yacht production, not as a "sidelight" to other production lines.
Pricing for a Real Ships' yacht varies according to the customization chosen, but a typical 77-foot model costs an estimated 3.5 to 4 million dollars. A used model may cost anywhere from a million dollars upwards.
Featured Models
Real Ships features two basic lines, the Voyager and the Expedition series. However, each line is widely customizable, and no two finished yachts are the same. Real Ships also constructs yachts to other designs apart from the Voyager and Expedition series.
Real Ships resides in the center of the Gulf Coast shipbuilding industry, and takes full advantage of the technology and resources available. Their focus on custom yachts with all-steel construction does have certain limitations; Real Ships' yachts focus more on durability and long-distance cruising than speed or flashy performance. Nor are they the grandest or largest yachts on the seas. However, Real Ships uses the latest technologies in paints, assembling, and design and has gained a reputation for quality construction. Their yachts are characterized by a low center of gravity and a long nautical range; Real Yachts hulls feature innovations such as keel "pods" which increase stability. The ability to fully customize the designs has made Real Ships a steady competitor in the custom yacht market; Real Ships is one of the only custom steel boat builders. In 2009, Real Ships followed a successful showing at an international boat show by expanding their representation into a foreign market, opening a dealership with Compass International in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Today, the company continues to constantly improve their designs and production methods, insuring that each new Real Ships yacht is better than the last.

On this day in 1904 Giorgi Melitonovitch Balachivadze was born in St. Petersburg, Russia. You probably recognize him as George Balanchine, co-founder of the New York City Ballet and one of the greatest choreographers to ever create a ballet. To celebrate the anniversary of his birth, we rounded up a few Dance Magazine articles on his work and his legacy. From cover stories on post-Balanchine NYCB dancers, to an article about how the School of American Ballet is keeping the his teachings current. Enjoy!

The original Alfa Romeo & FIAT dealer: FIAT of Larchmont
Article written by Christian Vitale and published in FIAT500USA blog.
Visiting the Oldest Original Fiat Dealer in the USA: FIAT of Larchmont
One of the great things about owning a new Fiat 500 is the comprehensive warranty called Forward Care. A new 2012 Fiat 500 comes with a 4 year/50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty, 4 year unlimited mileage roadside assistance. Additionally, wear items are also covered for 12 months/12,000 miles, and that includes: wiper blades, brake pads and rotors, and clutch assemblies. Cars delivered before January also had 3 year free maintenance, but this was dropped for later cars in lieu of more flexible financing and incentives. Still, on a car that only takes 4 quarts of oil and has an $8 oil filter, Fiat 500 maintenance costs are low... low....low...
I took advantage of Forward Care when my Fiat 500 Prima Edizione hit 8,000 miles and was due for its first service. My selling dealer was FIAT of Larchmont, whose proprietor is none other than Alfredo Gulla. While I had my car serviced, I had the great pleasure of spending some time with Mr. Gulla.
FIAT of Larchmont circa 1960s. Besides being a Fiat dealer, FIAT of Larchmont was an officially authorized Abarth dealer
Longtime Fiat enthusiasts will recognize the name from Alfredo's Foreign Cars fame, the oldest Fiat dealer in the country. Mr. Gulla became a Fiat dealer in 1961 and rose to be a consistent top dealer in the country all through Fiat's heydays of the 1960s, '70s and early '80s. Today, FIAT of Larchmont, located in Westchester County, New York, is still a friendly, family run business and has the distinction of being the only original Fiat dealer.
Back in 1961, the requirements to be a Fiat dealer were admittedly a lot easier than today - an initial purchase of just 2 cars got you on your way. Today, it takes a major, typically multi-million dollar, commitment to be a Fiat dealer, and looking at the new Fiat of Larchmont Studio one can see where the money is spent. The facility is beautiful with a clever bit of Italian design featuring additional parking on the roof - reminiscent of the old Fiat Lingotto plant in Torino. In addition to the facility, a major purchase of parts, special tools and training is also required.
When I was there in December, servicing was being done next door at the original Alfredo's Foreign Cars location. This was a treat, because the newly renovated building houses a nice collection of classic Fiat memorabilia. Mr. Gulla is one of the preeminent experts on Fiat Group cars with personal contacts that included the late Gianni Agnelli.
Posters and displays of cutaway engines keep you occupied while service work is done. This late 1960s cutaway Fiat Twin Cam engine came direct from Torino.
In addition to being a Fiat dealer, in 1967, Mr. Gulla signed on as an authorized Abarth dealer and knows the cars very well. Alfredo's Foreign Cars was also a noted Alfa Romeo dealer and consistently the country's number one Maserati dealer.
I have a fond memory of visiting his dealership twenty plus years ago and witnessing the blistering takeoff of a Maserati Biturbo - the sound of the twin turbo V6 wailing and seeing the Torsen differential scrambling in vain to put all the power down had people on the sidewalk stopping in their tracks with their jaws open.
Something you will not see very often: a rare US Spec 1960s Fiat 500. Note the sealed beam headlamp modification.
If you are a interested in a Fiat 500 or are a Fiat enthusiast, and are in the New York tri-state area, you owe it to yourself to visit FIAT of Larchmont.
Excitement, passion and enthusiasm are what separate Italian cars from the rest of the mundane mainstream cars. With Fiat dealers like Alfredo Gulla and FIAT of Larchmont, you are in good hands.

"Before it's over, they're going to have to deal with him," Harmon said, and there was no doubt whom he was talking about.
Woods drove right into the trees on number 13, but despite a restricted backswing, he carved a shot off the pine needles, leaving himself a short iron into the par-5. He sent his ball past the pin and spun it back some five feet from the hole. A birdie seemed inevitable. Instead, Woods missed again, air-balling the cup left, and Immelman remained a comfortable five shots ahead.
"I didn't putt well all week," said Woods, who after winning three times at Augusta National from 1997 to 2002 has won just one of the last six Masters.
With Woods's statement before the season that winning the Grand Slam was definitely within reason, it was not far-fetched to wonder if he already considered the 2008 campaign a washout. He insisted he did not.
"You feel deflated because you lost, but the very next day you're fired up about the U.S. Open," Woods said two days before the Masters. "Are you frustrated that you lost? Of course. You don't ever want to lose. I don't understand how you can like losing. But once this tournament is over, you start refocusing and getting your game ready for the next major."
That would be the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, where Woods has won six times as a pro. Nevertheless, the arc of the golf season has changed, pivoting on Woods's errant putter and the steeliness of a 5' 9", 170-pound golfer with his own warm feelings about Torrey Pines. It was there, in 1998, that Immelman won the U.S. Public Links championship, earning his first trip to the Masters.
"I've always dreamed about winning majors," Immelman says. "I'm definitely not going to sit back and go, 'O.K., I'm done,' if that's the answer you're looking for. I'm going to keep working hard and trying to make the most of what I've been given."
At home and on the golf course in Somerset, Immelman was always tagging along with his older brother and his friends, asking questions and trying not to get left behind. Mark's message to him was clear: Keep up or you don't play with us. As Trevor made his way through Augusta's picturesque layout on Sunday, Mark said his mind turned to those moments the brothers shared. But first there was a title to win.
After a shaky opening bogey, Immelman birdied the 5th hole, but he three-putted the 8th for bogey and had to drop a 20-foot putt from the fringe on number 11 to save par. Mike Weir, who has played on two Presidents Cup teams with Immelman, stood beneath the big oak tree outside the clubhouse, saying that the South African had the game to hold up in gusts of up to 25 miles per hour, and he was right.
Immelman would tempt the golf gods with a yanked tee shot into the water that led to a double bogey on the par-3 16th, but by then most of the danger had passed. He saved par from a greenside bunker on 17 to maintain his three-shot lead, and after peeling a drive down the middle of the 18th, he let out a sigh.
The Immelman clan had moved to the walkway behind the green, directly in front of the scorer's shack. Mark kept rubbing his eyes as he stared down the hill, looking at his baby brother, who was dressed in a black outfit similar to the ones that Player made famous.
After an eight-iron from a divot and two putts, Immelman flexed his muscles and looked up the walkway. There stood Carminita and their curly haired boy.
Immelman's 75, the highest final round for a Masters champion since Arnold Palmer shot the same score in 1962, had been enough to beat the field. Snedeker, after a 77, buried his face in a towel to hide his tears.
After the green-jacket ceremony the Immelmans left the well-worn practice green and walked into Butler Cabin. Its back windows, bathed in yellow light, looked out onto a sublime par-3 course shrouded in darkness. Inside the cabin a new champion with a new jacket was lost in a round of hugs.

2011 Guide Analysis: "It really wasn't until about three months before its release that Warner Brothers realised "The Hangover" was going to be a hit. Test screening response was through the roof, while the trailer had great reaction after premiering at ShoWest and online. About that time they commissioned director Todd Phillips, along with his "Old School" and "Road Trip" scribe Scot Armstrong, to pen a sequel. Yet they still waited to see how the first one went before fully committing to the follow-up.
The wait didn't last long. The $35 million comedy scored a superb $44 million opening weekend and racked up over six times that domestically, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever in the United States. In international markets, where American comedies miss far more often than they hit, it pulled in an astonishing $190 million to deliver a worldwide global total of just under $470 million - a number that films which cost five times as much to make would envy.
No-one could've anticipated the sheer size of its success, and not only were sequel plans given the green light, but dates were quickly locked into place as the cast and Phillips scored better deals with considerable first dollar grosses. Rumors emerged of shooting in Bangkok, talk that was initially dismissed and later confirmed.
Ken Jeong and Mike Tyson are both returning from the original, while Paul Giamatti, Jamie Chung, and former U.S. President Bill Clinton are all set for small roles. However it the was casting of Mel Gibson late last year for a one day shoot as a Bangkok tattoo artist that caused a media storm. Word quickly emerged that the cast and crew were very much against Gibson's involvement in the movie, the revolt vocal enough that Phillips had to withdraw the offer and had Liam Neeson step in to replace Gibson.
As it stands now, the film suffers the obvious disadvantage of being a sequel. Whereas the first movie had little expectation until just before its release, the anticipation level for this is already sky high and so there's a lot of pressure to deliver better and bigger laughs. Yet with comedy surprise hits, rarely have we seen sequels that live up to the quality of the original.
Phillips' track record is strong but not flawless, his post-Hangover comedy "Due Date" this year misfiring with critics and not doing anywhere near the same level of business. I hope we'll be surprised with the quality of this, but until the marketing push begins and the early screening reaction starts flowing, we won't have a good idea either way."

COLDWATER (WTVB) - For far too long, domestic violence was ignored or treated as a private matter where victims were left to suffer in silence without hope of intervention. October is Domestic Violence Awareness month and is also the 18th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act, as recognition is given to the individuals and groups who have stepped forward to break the cycle of violence, and recommit to putting an end to domestic violence in America. The Branch County Coalition Against Domestic Violence is having its annual open house this coming Sunday afternoon. The event titled "A Celebration of Survivors" starts at 2 p.m. at the Naomi Davis Shelterhouse on North Michigan Avenue in Coldwater.
Volunteers of the Year will also be honored and there will be tours of the Shelterhouse and Laura Place apartments along with food, games, and entertainment. Despite considerable progress in reducing domestic violence, an average of three women in the United States lose their lives every day as a result of domestic violence

Though I understand what you're saying, SCII and WoW are both still separate things. This isn't something that Blizzard did and put in as an Easter Egg or a Cow Level or anything; this as mostly just a guy who created his own custom map. It's like when WC3 had all those LotRO or Diablo custom maps that people made on their own.

Key steps to take and traps to avoid if you pursue this homebuying method.
This post comes from partner blog The Dough Roller.
In 2005 I became a landlord. A good friend and I began investing in single-family homes in the Midwest. We purchased two HUD foreclosures in 2005, and since then we've added three more HUD foreclosures to our portfolio.
When we advertise one of our homes for rent, we always advertise the property as a rent-to-own home, also called a lease option. We structure the agreement to allow the tenants to purchase the home within a specified period of time for a set price.
We've entered into several lease-to-own agreements with tenants, although we've yet to sell one of the homes to a tenant (more about that in a minute). This experience has taught me two things: Tenants make major mistakes when entering into a lease-purchase agreement, and some landlords take advantage of tenants who don't understand how to approach a contract for a rent-to-own house.
Because rent-to-own real estate is becoming more and more common, this article will identify tips on how to negotiate a fair lease option with a potential landlord and potential traps you should watch out for.
Free spaghetti and coupons for T.G.I. Friday's, plus more.
If you're hungry, we've got the Friday food freebies and deals.
You already know about the free piece of grilled chicken for everyone at KFC on Monday, Oct. 26.
Some of last week's deals are still good, too.
Burger King rolled out an addition to its Value Menu this week, the quarter-pound Double Cheeseburger for $1. The sandwich has two flame-broiled hamburger patties, crunchy pickles, ketchup, mustard and two slices of American cheese on a sesame seed bun. If you're a fast-food aficionado, let us know how you like it.
Here are some other deals, courtesy of our friends at Cities on the Cheap:
A disproportionate number of the 7 million jobs wiped out by the recession were held by men.
A recent column by James Surowiecki in The New Yorker convinced us that "the new frugality" won't last once good times return (and is probably just a figment of our imaginations anyway). Let's finally put that discussion to rest. (We will. See below.)
But there is a trend the Great Recession has inadvertently gifted with real staying power: It's more common that American women are the co- or often leading source of income for their families, i.e., they're making more than their husbands.
- Bing: Top-earning U.S. women
"The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything" says:
Today, four in five families with children still at home are not the traditional male breadwinner, female homemaker. And women are increasingly becoming their family's breadwinner or co-breadwinner. The deep economic downturn is amplifying and accelerating this trend.
And it also looks like many folks are getting used to the idea. A survey done for the Shriver Report shows that "65.3% of women and 61.2% of men strongly agreed with the idea that they are comfortable with women earning more than men in a household," Allison Linn reported in a story at MSNBC.
Deals include a $149 netbook and $49 digital camera.
Halloween isn't even here yet, but one of the first big Black Friday sales ads has already been leaked: the circular for OfficeMax.
The best deals listed for one of the biggest shopping days of the year, the day after Thanksgiving, include an Acer Aspire netbook with Intel Atom processor, 10-inch screen and Windows XP for $149, half off its regular price of $300.
- Find on Bing: More on Black Friday sales
The same ad shows an Olympus X905 10 MP digital camera for $49. That camera is now on sale at OfficeMax for $99, marked down from $149.
The essentials about this cheap, healthy food -- plus recipes. Yum.
This guest post comes from Kris at Cheap Healthy Good.
Some will balk at their flavor and size. Many will have texture issues. And still others just won't enjoy the gas.
But know this: There are few cheaper, healthier, and more versatile foods than the humble bean. Members of the legume family, beans can be found everywhere from gourmet restaurants to campfire cauldrons. They've been vital to the survival of certain populations, and instrumental to the development of particular cuisines.
Also, they taste good.
Still, there are folks out there unfamiliar with chickpeas and pintos, kidney and black beans. And for them, CHG proudly presents the following: a breakdown of why beans are wonderful, plus 42 tried-and-true recipes in which to use them.
This time, company says it is ready
If you missed the last KFC freebie, the Colonel (or his deputy) has a deal for you. Today, Monday, Oct. 26, more than 5,000 KFC restaurants nationwide will give each customer one free piece of grilled chicken.
Company president Roger Eaton promises you'll really get your free chicken this time.
Unlike the giveaway promoted by Oprah in May, when customers were turned away after stores ran out of chicken, the company promises it is ready for the onslaught, or what it hopes will be an onslaught of customers, The Associated Press reported. An earlier giveaway in April went well.
Some universities charge extra if you major in business or engineering.
You know this airplane scenario: Passengers compare notes on how much they spent for seats that you'd think would cost the same. It ticks you off when you find out you've paid the most, doesn't it?
Transfer that discussion to the Student Union Building, except now everyone is comparing tuition. That's right. Some universities -- including those in the University of California system -- are thinking about charging higher tuition to students who major in more lucrative fields -- specifically engineering and business.
Many schools are already doing it, probably more than you think. Engineering and business are often targeted, but some students in nursing, architecture and music (music??) also pay more. Meanwhile, college costs for all students, including those in California, continue to climb overall as states cut spending and endowments shrink.
"Miss M" at M is for Money, who is an engineer in real life, thinks charging some undergraduate students more than others is a very bad idea.
She fills her husband's shampoo bottle with a cheap substitute.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Note from Trent: This week I'm posting a series of articles on the ethics of frugality. How far can you take things without crossing an ethical line or diving into seriously socially unacceptable waters? I'm recounting some of my own stories and some stories from readers along the way.
"Jane" (we must protect the innocent here, right?) writes in:
My husband has always used this expensive Aveda shampoo for his hair. He says it needs to look good for work. I've always used Suave or Pert and it's worked fine. Lately, I noticed that his shampoo looks almost identical to mine, so when his bottle was empty, I washed it out and filled it with my shampoo. I thought the only way he might notice is because of the difference in smell, but he hasn't noticed it at all. In fact, I've refilled it twice with my cheap stuff. But now I feel kind of guilty about it. Should I tell him? Was this the right thing to do?
There are always two sides to every story. So let's look at them.

Best Small-Space Sewing Machine?
Good Questions
Q: I live in a fairly small studio apartment and I am on a budget when it comes to furnishing and decorating. I'm aghast at the prices for something as simple as a throw pillow. $40? For one pillow? Heck, I COULD MAKE THAT MYSELF- and for way cheaper! And perfectly customize it to fit my decorating scheme! Yes, I will make my own pillows!
So, now it comes down to the real question: What's the best SMALL sewing machine that won't take up too much space in my apartment AND that won't break the bank?

Overstock.com has a nice variety of basic sewing machines. I bought a portable Brother (without case) for just a little over $100. It's the best machine I've ever had. I would love to own a serger, but they're much more expensive.
My mom bought me a Bernina Bernette sewing machine last year and I love it. The Bernette is the beginners sewing machine from Bernina, which is a quality brand, and I think that it was a couple hundred dollars, but worth the investment, as I've never had any problems with it. It's pretty compact and fits nicely in my not-so-huge apartment, and I've easily carried it back and forth with me to classes and to my mom's & sister's houses. Easy to use (I made my own throw pillows, too!) and a lot of different options to work with.
Janome makes a small machine called the Gem, which I hear good things about. If you can find a used Elna Lotus, you will really like it, but they are a bit rare. The other used possibility is a Bernina Record, which is a compact machine.
Just don't buy anything without trying it first. You can tell a lot by the sound and feel of a machine.
The sewing machine itself won't take up space - it will be the table you set it on, your fabric cutting area, your design wall, your fabric storage that will cost you the most square footage.
I second the recommendation to purchase a portable Brother machine - I have a mid-range starter machine I picked up for about $150 on Amazon and it has been nothing less than a workhorse. I also recommend purchasing a plastic case for your machine so you can stow it when not in use.
If you're lucky, you can often find old sewing machine cabinets with the (working!) machines still in them at thrift stores. The machines often need to be serviced, but the cabinets are rather compact and they're a great, petite solution if you want a permanent sewing area in your apartment.
I have an antique Singer Featherweight that I've used since the dorms. It ironically weighs a ton, but it's a tiny little machine in a nice neat case. Mine is from 1938 and still running. There are some on ebay for under $300 with case.
I once borrowed a Brother while my Singer was in the shop, and I nearly chopped it up with an axe and threw it in the alley. What a POS. Planned obsolescence can bite me.
I used at Kenmore machine from Sears for years without a problem before I bought a Viking. If you are planning on sewing multiple layers of heavy fabric a more expensive machine may be worth is to avoid the frustration of many brooken needles. The Kenmore was inexpensive never needed any repairs. I used it on any table in my house without a problem. I sew on a iKea gate leg table, great for cutting, sewing, has storage and I can fold it down so it doesn't take up space.
Try to find an old machine with all metal parts. I have four Singers from the 1970's that were made in Great Britain. They come in nice retro colors too, if you can find one. They don't rattle, vibrate or feel plastic-y. ebay, goodwill, salvation army.
If you're on a budget, consider a used sewing machine. You'll find good advice at a sewing machine repair shop, too.
Used sewing machines are awesome. I bought one for $5 at a garage sale and it's still going strong to this day.
As a fellow apartment dweller, I'd recommend getting a machine with a box, or buying a padded box that fits. That way it's very easy to tuck the machine away in a closet or even under the bed while you're not using it.
I'd reccomend an Elna. The cheaper models are compact and fairly lightweight but they're tough machines and easy to use. I bought one after my used machine bit the dust several times (repair costs, ouch...). I've been told that Elna's are often used in sewing classes which tells me that they must be able to take some abuse! I adore mine.
I wouldn't bother with a sewing table if space is limited. I would just set up the machine on the dining or kitchen table when I was planning to use it, then pack it away when I was done. In fact, this is what I used to do. I cut out fabric on the floor.
I have the Brother CS6000i. I used to use it sitting on the floor in my apartment, so I didn't need a big table, etc. I had a storage ottoman that I kept the fabric in.
I second the old Singer Featherweights. They are about the size of two shoeboxes stacked on top of one another. I'm still using the one that my mom gave me - it's HER college machine, so it's been going strong for about 75 years now LOL. Find a good sewing machine shop that does their own service and repairs and keep your machine in good repair.
For cutting board storage, I have a cutting board that folds - stored behind a bookcase with my rotary cutting mat and rulers. Fabric and yarn storage is in underbed rolling bins. I do have several stacking 'gearboxes' for all the bits and pieces (needles, thread storage, scissors etc, etc), but basically, everthing fits under my desk neatly.
My grandmom left me her 1957 singer - similar to the one here: http://pics.hoobly.com/full/ZA3213R5WND3RWS33T.jpg
It's perfect for my studio because when the machine is put away it's just a side table.
Instead of a pedal, there's a knee control bar that drops down when it's in use, so there's nothing on the floor.
Honestly, this 60 year old machine is better than any new machine I've used. It might not have bells and whistles, but it's a work-horse.
I have a Kenmore machine that my father picked out for me as a Christmas present when I was in college- he's the king of Consumer Reports. The best thing about it is actually that it has a soft tapestry carrying bag instead of one of those bulky plastic covers. I don't think its a particularly large or small machine, and it lives in my dining room closet on top of a stack of clear totes of fabric.
A few years ago I bought an antique Martha Washington sewing cabinet at a yard sale for less than $100.
The cabinet takes up about as much space as a small dresser, expands, and has enough storage for a recreational sewer like me. And closed up, it's a super cute entry table!
If you can sacrifice 3 square feet, I'd highly recommend keeping your eye open at yard sales.
I live in a small beach house, and agree with other posters than the size of the sewing machine is the wrong thing to focus on.
My 1940's Singer with metal parts sews great straight and zig-zag, and it's in a small cabinet that looks like an end table - only taller. It's in my bedroom, using it as a nightstand, with a basket underneath to store small things. When I want to sew, I just open it up and am ready to go.
Check out this photo to see something similar to what I have. http://shesewsseashells.blogspot.com/2008/04/craigslist-singer-saga-conclusion.html
If you ask this question on a sewing forum, you'll get such a wide variety of answers it will make your head spin. My recommendation is a Sears Kenmore (Janome makes them for Sears, although I hear that will be changing to Juki soon- Juki's are good machines, too). I have also bought reconditioned Janomes on Overstock.com, and Kenmores that were re-badged as Janomes. Great machines for $100-200. (I love the one I got for $95 as much as the one that cost $200, so don't fear the lower prices) Don't buy used unless you have a good repairman to give it a tune-up. In my area, a tune-up costs $89.99, so might as well buy new from overstock.com.
My only advice is to not let yourself get overwhelmed by options. You really only need a machine that sews straight seams, zig-zags and does buttonholes! Anything else is gravy.
My last machine was a Singer that was well over 40 years old. I'd still be using it if my mom hadn't bought me a new machine.
And to echo what Muffy said above, it's not really the machine you have to worry about space-wise...be sure you have a big surface to lay out your fabric and pattern pieces for cutting!
I was actually looking for a sewing machine and decided against Overstock because you don't get the machine's warranty. J&R has machines that are priced about the same, plus you get the warranty. Very important.
I bought a machine from Overstock (re-badged Kenmore which is great) and it came with a 25-year warranty. I think it depends on the machine.
I've been sewing for 50 years (eek). I learned on a Singer Featherweight which I used until I was about 30, then I got a Bernina Record, then I got a Bernina 1230 which I will probably die sewing on. Berninas are the best. I just got one on Craigslist for a friend for $60 and my daughter inherited my mom's, which she got at a yard sale for $50. They're out there!
What I love about Bernina is the quality and the even feed. It'll sew perfectly straight without you having to guide the fabric at all. I have used machines that listed to one side and it was a pain to have to fight to feed the fabric in straight.
Singer Featherweights are great for general sewing; not so hot if you want to do heavyweight stuff like welted pillows of upholstery fabric.
Used machines can be a good deal but you should count on having to get an overhaul ($75 where I live). All metal is generally a good way to go but it helps to know brands. Many mentioned above are good. Some people think Singer is hands down great but the truth is that they had a long spell of crappiness in there! Dunno what the deal is now.
I wouldn't buy a Brother machine or any of the others offered by discount places or stores like Target. Just not worth it.
I recommend a Kenmore or vintage Featherweight!
i have a 1967 Singer Featherweight that my grandmother bought me when I graduated from high school about 15 years ago- I LOVE it, total workhorse, and so pretty! but 5 years ago I got a new Kenmore because I wanted fancy stitches, easy buttonholing, and stretch stitches. Love it!
My Featherweight now lives in its carrying box in the closet (it's tiny) and the Kenmore is on my desk, always ready for inspiration to hit, and/or clothes to rip & need immediate repair.
I learned to sew on my mom's early 1980's Kenmore and it is still going strong.
My father bought my mother a Singer with the cabinet for when she came home from the hospital with me. (1950s) After 3 boys, she was dying to sew for a girl.
He laughed that he'd come home from work and there would be new slip covers and curtains all over the apartment!
She eventually sewed her grandchildren's christening gowns on it.
I have had a New Home compact machine for years, and it is very well built and a real workhorse. It is essentially the same as a Janome Gem. Janome is generally a very good brand.
I have what is now a "vintage" Kenmore from Sears (bought new). The year I bought it, Consumer Reports rated it better than White or Elna, the two most expensive machines then available. All metal, no major plastic parts. You can get reconditioned ones for a decent price and they last forever. Mine is in a plastic carry case and is about 10 inches deep, a foot tall, and 16 inches wide or thereabouts. I have never had trouble finding a storage place for it, even in a tiny studio. And SOOO worth having for hemming curtains, making pillows, and dozens of other DIY projects.
What a great story, mjs.
The advice here is outstanding. I, too, have been wanting to learn how to sew and get a machine but I live in a small studio. I know I will be looking into some of the pieces mentioned here, thanks all!

The Ala Wai Canal is usually my running trail but last weekend, it served as the setting for the Umee Spring / Summer 2012 collection campaign photo shoot.
Our team was super cool and included a new addition: Joe Chilton from WE Media Services. Joe is all about videography, but he showed us that he can rock the camera in stills too!
We got pretty close to the edge and even though none of us fell in the Ala Wai, we think the looks from the shoot are glowing, but in a non-toxic sort of way.
Over the next several months, we will leisurely (cuz that's how we do things in Hawaii) release the collection through our digital store, www.umee-brand.com.
from Hawaii with love,

An extremely attractive girl whos flirty personality and curvacious figure will keep you coming back for more. She's typically a brunette but occasionally acts blonde. She enjoys long relationships and has many close guy friends. Often mistaken for a "slut" but really isn't. She can also be a super bitch if you get onto her bad side.
"dude, i want to hang out with that girl, shes such an Amber"
โดย dnomyar 16 เมษายน 2008
Amber is the most fun-loving girl in existence! She is well rounded and one of the best friends you can make. Ambers have many male friends along with a down to earth personality! Amber is hot to trot, however she is unaware of her own beauty.
"On a scale of one to ten, she's an Amber!"
โดย SHARKattack 13 กรกฎาคม 2012
A beautiful girl who is very outgoing and flirtacious at times but you will love hanging out with her and have fun with!She may not understand somethinq wen u first say but she is very smart!!

A person who all her friends love dearly. Definatly NOT a slut!
Wow, she sure is an amber
โดย Prince Arutha 17 ตุลาคม 2010
My opinion of the name Amber would be; a beautiful girl, very humorous, great smile, can dance very well, and loves to laugh. She is usually is a brunette and has bluish green eyes. She loves to listen to old music from the 60's, 70's, and 80's, but will mostly listen to the 80's. She can be very shy at first but then she becomes very loud once you become friends with her. She will most likely hang out with guys more than girls. She will sing on the top of her lungs even knowing she sucks. She'll always be there when her friends are in need. But if you get on her bad side she'll cut you off instantly. Stay away from her bad side.
dude that amber girl is fun to hang out with.
Amber is a girl thats not afraid to be herfelf, Lots of people jugde her a first but once you get to know her you'll love her, She's someone you could trust with your life you can tell her about everything and anything, She has naturally Brown hair but changes it to wild colors that go with her personalty, She is very unique you will never meet anyone quite like her, People often think she is a slut and she is not know where near, She's extremely pretty and has an awesome sence of style, She likes long relationship with boyfriends, She's crazy and loud funny and cute.

Cutting edge architecture in Melbourne means SHIPPING CONTAINERS.
Well not really. But there sure is a hell of a lot of shipping container re-fashioning going on in this town. It all started with Section 8 (aka 'Container Bar')… followed up by those container booths in the Fed Square carpark for The Melbourne Design Festival last year… and now, thanks to the clever people at Phooey Architects, we have Skinners Playground in South Melbourne.
Jokes aside, this place does look fantastic… the 4 containers have been modified enough to make it feel like a really well considered design (rather than just a hunk of metal plonked on a car park). Of course the obvious other benefits are the eco-friendly element and the relatively low cost of this kind of project. Apparently all the materials that went into its construction were reclaimed or recycled… good on 'em :)
The project was the recent recipient of an 'Architecture Review Award for Emerging Architecture' in the UK.

You've heard of the Booty Pop, but what about the Biniki? The Stir reader Christy, a veritable font of weird style information, sent me a link to this product, which promises to "beautify and preserve the buttocks."
Um. Okay.
Even better than the Biniki, though, is the MANIKI, a butt bra for men!
You've got to see the picture and it is NOT safe for work!
Check this out, ladies!
Oh my.You know your man wants one of these! Can you even think of a more romantic present for your DH or SO than a Maniki?
And at the low, low price of $39.95, it's hard to think of something else that could do so much for so little.
Of course, I'd be remiss if I left out the Throng for the ladies who like to go bare back there.
So, ladies (and men), as of today, you have no excuses left to have a flat butt.
You're welcome.
Images via Biniki-Fashions.com
But. . . . . . the lines! What about the lines? No one wants those to show through the pantalones!
I got a roll of duct tape if you are that worried. Works for the stars, right?
...wow... lmao. That's just weird looking!
So it's all the panty lines with none of the panties?? Ridiculous.
LOL wow! Yeah I would say the reason I wear thongs is not because I want to go bare down there but because I dont want panty lines when I wear tight pants or a dress or whatever. That would totally make lines show through. LOL who buys this stuff?
HAHA. Duct tape..HAHA.

Plant for Growth
Plant for Growth Organizes for Second Year of Community Collaboration and Healthy Eating
Wednesday evening more than forty community members came together at Somersworth Youth Safe Haven to share a meal, celebrate the success of the first year of their Plant for Growth project, and make plans for this summer's community garden. The project, a collaborative effort of residents of the Somersworth Housing Complex, children and parents from Somersworth Youth Safe Haven, and students and faculty from UNH, has provided numerous opportunities for learning, sharing, and good eating.
"I really enjoy coming to these events," said Matthew Spencer, Mayor of Somersworth, who attended this organizing meeting. "Plant for Growth is a great project that brings families together for healthy fun and I really enjoy the spirit of cooperation that is part of the work they do."
Last year at this time, the garden area was a little used dirt plot surrounded by chain link fence. As a result of much hard work and care, this piece of property now hosts eight raised beds and a garden shed as well as providing a home to many different types of vegetables, flowers and herbs: some of which came back this spring and were incorporated into the salad served at the meeting.
Plans for this year include creating a mural on the side of the shed, building a bench with a grape arbor in the middle or the garden, and working with the children to design stepping stones throughout it. There will also be many opportunities for learning about nutrition and leadership as the project goes forward this year and community members are already working on a garden-related cookbook.
Partnerships with many community volunteers and students from the Thompson School's Community Leadership, Horticultural Technology, and Dietetic Technician and Forest Technology Programs as well as residents of UNH's Jessie Doe Residence Hall are working together to make this happen. Thanks to a generous donation of seeds from Wentworth Gardens, work on the garden started this week.
"We are thrilled with both the community's response to the project and with the great work that the UNH students do for it," said Betty Eaton, Coordinator of Somersworth Youth Safe Haven. "The kids who come to SYSH really own this garden and work hard to make it a success."
Plant for Growth will also welcome a new project member this year. Somersworth Early Learning Center, which is located next door to SYSH and the original garden, will create gardens on their property and work on developing shared learning and organizational structures with the Plant for Growth leadership team, a hardworking group of community members, SYSH kids, and UNH students and faculty who meet regularly to ensure that the success of this community garden continues to grow.

DULUTH, Minnesota (WXOW) - Downbeat news for outdoors-lovers this summer in Minnesota: Abandon any hope one might have about a bug-free summer.
Experts say the pests that bite and suck the blood of Minnesotans and devour the leaves on trees in the state's forests are going to survive the extended winter just fine.
Naturalist Larry Weber tells the Duluth News Tribune the late winter and extended snow cover aren't likely to reduce the numbers of mosquitoes, ticks and blackflies - they'll just show up a bit later. He says they may even thrive better because of the insulation and water the snow is providing.
Forest health specialist Mike Albers says the story is the same for tree pests like army worms, whose numbers are climbing. In 2011 they defoliated about 60,000 acres throughout Minnesota; last year they stripped about 250,000 acres.

Catalyst Comix has just been announced at NYCC.
Written by Joe Casey and drawn by Dan McDaid, Ulises Farinas and myself. Covers by Raphael Grampa, Paul Pope and Brendan McCarthy
I've literally been sitting on this Dark Horse news for over a year now. I'm really excited to finally start talking about this project. Big thank you to Mike Richardson for pulling this all together.
So with Reign at Image, Catalyst Comix at Dark Horse and my work on David Lloyd's Aces Weekly, 2013 is going to be a crazy year.
