Best bet
Captain Chris Johnson of SeaSquared Charters out of Marathon reported that if you're looking for yellowtail snappers in the 18- to 20-inch size, then your best bet is to fish the deeper reefs in 70 to 90 feet of water with cut bait. Large mutton snappers are being caught over the deeper wrecks. Over the shallower patch reefs in 35 to 50 feet of water, lots of mangrove snappers, smaller yellowtail snappers and some nice groupers are eating cut baits and small live pinfish. There is still plenty of legal-size lobster to be caught in his area.
Local Jon Masel and his father-in-law, Rodney Raub, of Michigan fished Biscayne Bay and caught over 20 fish on light tackle during a half-day fishing charter with captain Alan Sherman of Get Em Sportfishing Charters. The catch included sea trout to 18 inches, bluerunners, mangrove snappers, lizardfish and jack crevalles to 12 pounds. The fish were caught on Rapala X Raps and live baits fished under a Cajun Thunder float. Captain Andy Roydhouse of Fishing Headquarters out of Fort Lauderdale reported the catch of a large cubera snapper during a day charter on the Out of Control with captain Adam Reckert. The huge snapper ate a whole butterflied bonito fished on the bottom in 300 feet of water offshore of Port Everglades.
Captain Ted Benbow of Skins and Fins Fishing Charters and Guides out of Holiday Isles Marina in Islamorada reported on the shallow flats his anglers continue to have steady action from bonefish, permits and small tarpon. On the Florida Bay side, his anglers are doing well on slot-size snook on cut pilchards fished on the bottom in the channels. Lots of lemon, bulls and blacktip sharks are available for those who want to feel the pull of a big fish. The sharks are eating large chunks of ladyfish fished in the channels.
Treasure Coast
Kandiss Molitor from the Juno Fishing Pier reported pier fishermen are catching lots of snook, Spanish mackerel, big jacks, bonitos and bluerunners. Big schools of mullet and smaller baitfish are around the pier. Captain Charlie Conner's FishTales Charters out of Port St. Lucie reported the water in the Fort Pierce area has finally cleared up. The fall mullet run is in full swing along the beaches and in the surf. Feeding on the mullet are tarpon, snook, jacks, sharks and bluefish. Look for these fish in ocean inlets as well.
Florida Bay
Captain Jim Hale of Florida Sportfishing Charters reported finding a giant school of redfish along the shorelines between Shark River and the Harney River. Quite a few snook were in the same areas as the redfish and most of these fish were eating live shrimp. Captain Jason Sullivan of Rising Tide Charters reported working the outside Florida Bay flats with fly and top water baits and having steady action from baby tarpon and redfish. Sullivan's angler was Marcel Moreno of Miami.
Southwest Coast
Captain Rob Modys of Soul Mate charters out of Fort Myers reported water quality in the Estero Bay and near shore Gulf waters is improving. Large schools of bait are holding along the beaches. Large schools of mackerel are working the baitfish schools. Redfish are on the flats and eating cut ladyfish. The near-shore reefs and rock piles are holding huge snook, flounder, trout, pompano, snapper and grouper.
Captain Michele Shellen of Shellen Guide Service out of Buck Head Ridge reported the east side of the lake is where you want to fish now. Water temperatures have dropped a little, and that has resulted in longer feeding periods from largemouth bass.

It's March 12th, and that means that there are roughly 130 days until training camp. There are trades being made, players getting cut, and mock draft boards that tell you which players your favorite teams are likely to acquire. This time of year is troublesome for us football fanatics because the media teases us with excitement and speculation before the NFL even releases its official schedule. We are forced to twiddle our thumbs and watch Mexico play Canada in the World Baseball Classic, or watch SportsNation's coverage of the Madden 14 cover competition. Sundays are filled with lawn mowing, church going, and 60 Minutes watching... unless it's a re-run. I have come here to change all of that. I would like to present you with 3 predictions for next season. A lot of the ideas are predicated on the state of each NFL team at this very moment. There could be trades or transactions in the future that would alter my predictions and the NFL draft could certainly have an affect. I challenge anyone reading this to give me feedback, not in the form of criticism; instead I would like to see your 3 predictions.
1. The Baltimore Ravens will NOT make the playoffs.
It's no secret that Baltimore limped into the playoffs last season. Losing 4 of their last 5 games (granted, week 17's game against Cincy wasn't all that important), there were legitimate questions as to whether or not they would even make it past the Colts. What they did was fantastic and just like Green Bay in 2011 and New York in 2012 showed, once you're in the playoffs you have a shot. I know that Joe Flacco has made it to the dance every year since he has been in the league, and I know that John Harbaugh, Ozzie Newsome and owner Steve Bisciotti are some of the best minds in football, but I'm certain they will hit a wall next year. The losses of Anquan Boldin, Dannell Ellerbe and Paul Kruger are huge blows to the team, and if they are to lose Ed Reed their defense will be in rebuild mode for the first time in more than a decade. The AFC North will be better next year. The injury prone Steelers will get back on track, the Bengals will be a year older, and the Browns might be good enough to steal a couple more wins then they had last year. The Ravens will have the 5th toughest schedule next season facing the Packers, Broncos, Texans, and the "Brady Bunch", all teams that could easily expose their depleted defense. Baltimore will resemble the New York Giants last season... mediocre, 7-9 to be exact.
2. Tony Romo will have a FANTASTIC year...and will win MVP.
The only year that Tony Romo had under a 90.5 QB rating was 2005, and that was due to the fact that he didn't throw a single pass all season. He has played in every game of the season 5 times in his career, and 4 of those seasons he threw for over 4,000 yards. His late game collapses and awful interceptions have over shadowed his elite statistics, and rightfully so because a 400 yard passing game means nothing when you lose. This prediction comes along with the prediction that Dallas will be a playoff team next season, because in order for anyone to give gunslinger Romo credit for having a wonderful year, Dallas needs to win. Nobody ever seems to run away with the NFC east these days, and with RG3 hobbled I feel that it gives Dallas and Tony Romo that much more chance to excel next season. I don't see Philly making much of a push as long as Michael Vick is under center, so that just leaves the Giants and Cowboys fighting for the NFC east crown. Dallas will go 11-5, and barring injury Tony Romo's statistics will look like this: 38TDS, 11INTS, 4397 Yards. MVP worthy? I think so.
3.MIami Dolphins will be NFL's surprise team of 2013.
7-9 isn't too shabby when you consider the Dolphins were a team that was led by a rookie QB and a rookie head coach. Although they mostly beat up on inferior teams they showed potential in wins over Seattle and Cincinnati. The mixture of 5 picks in the first 3 rounds of the draft, a more seasoned Ryan Tannehill, newly added MIke Wallace and Dannell Ellerbe, will make the Dolphins a contender in 2013. With opponents like the Bills (2), Jets (2), Chargers, Panthers, Bucs, and Browns, the Miami Dolphins have a shot at winning 9 to 10 games and possibly sneaking into the playoffs.

isnt this kinda going over the top i mean it might be a cal or two
Your serving size is going to depend on how much you like mustard
And if you're on a VLC diet such as a PSMF you might not want to make the mistake of thinking it's zero calorie.
EDIT: Of course I'm not debating a typical serving is going to be very few calories

25 Years Ago
1989 – Hail and high winds broke windows, dented vehicles and destroyed roofs and crops in Fayette County. The damage was estimated at $15 million.
South Central was the name chosen by students for the newly consolidated Farina LaGrove, Kinmundy-Alma school district.
This week's Mystery Banks Photo: These two couples, shown at the Ramsey High School prom in 1965, both eventually married.
Upon receiving the May 8 issue of The Leader-Union, I was pleased and excited to read the new section entitled "Where Are They Now?" That concept, presented by Mrs. LaDage and Mr. Roberts, is a great idea, and I look forward to many more excerpts.
Texas was an independent nation from March 2, 1836, to Feb. 16, 1846, when it became the 28th state in the Union.
Sam Houston was chosen as president of the Republic of Texas, with his inauguration on Oct. 22, 1836. They applied for annexation to the United States and, as they say, the rest is history.
Let's go back a few years – before 1836. There is a Fayette County connection here.
After operating under a cloud of uncertainty for more than a year, the Vandalia Community High School band last Thursday received a ray of sunshine when the Vandalia Board of Education agreed to restore half of the director's position it had cut in early 2013.
1989 – Bill Payne and Kendall Ray were named valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively, of the Patoka Class of 1989.
Voters in the LaGrove and Kinmundy-Alma school districts approved the consolidation of their districts by a 3-1 margin.
Ed Hightower, a collegiate referee and school administrator from East Alton, was speaker at the VCHS athletic banquet.
June 6, 1944, is D-Day – the day on which the Allied forces began the invasion of France during World War II.
Now, 70 years later – on Friday, June 6, 2014 – a new Veterans Tribute Memorial will be dedicated at Kaskaskia College in Centralia.
In my last column, I shared the history of the Crawford-Hale American Legion Home from the "War Stories" book.

Finally, we were ushered into the theater, where Sassoon gave a short address and Teper thanked many of the people who made the film possible. The director then turned the table, taking a photo of the audience with his phone, so he could post it to the movie's Facebook page. As the theater darkened and the movie rolled, I begin learning more about Sassoon's personal and professional life.
One: Born in London during the Depression to parents who soon split up, Sassoon and his younger brother spent most of their childhood in a Jewish orphanage, only seeing their mother once a month until she remarried when Sassoon was 11 and she could afford to take them back.
Two: When he was in his early teens, Sassoon's mother Betty had a premonition he would become a famous hairdresser. Despite his protests, she dragged him to the salon of Adolf Cohen to inquire about an apprenticeship. The apprenticeship fee Cohen quoted her was too steep, so they left the salon. As was typical, a greatly relieved Sassoon politely held the door open for his mother and tipped his hat. When Cohen observed this, he stopped the mother and son and declared he that he was impressed with the young man's manners and would waive the apprenticeship fee.
Three: As a young man, Sassoon became a member of the 43 Group, a Jewish veterans' militia organization that broke up Fascist meetings in East London after the end of World War II. As a result, he sometimes showed up at work bruised, and once responded to an inquiring client that he had tripped over a hairpin.
Four: As Sassoon was forming his signature styles during the early days of his London salon, he actually had quite a temper. If a cut didn't go the way he wanted, he would throw his scissors, and storm out of the salon—sometimes for days. "Once I threw my scissors, and they stuck in the ceiling," chuckled Sassoon in the film. My favorite scene in the movie is of a young Sassoon addressing a confrontational client in his chair who questioned why he insisted on giving her the cut she needed instead of the style she wanted.
Five: After moving to the United States, and opening a salon in New York, Sassoon and his wife Beverly eventually made their way to Los Angeles, where they hosted a television show on beauty and fitness. After about 200 episodes, Sassoon gave up the show to refocus his attention on his product line.
All beauty professionals have the opportunity to spend a special evening with Vidal Sassoon at the exclusive Red-Carpet Premiere of the movie during America's Beauty Show. On March 12, ABS will honor Sassoon with the Hair Icon Award at the premiere held at Cadillac Palace Theatre in Chicago. Your Red Carpet Event ticket includes the gala screening of Vidal Sassoon The Movie, the presentation of the Hair Icon Asard to Sassoon, a special Q&A session with Sassoon and Michael Gordon, and a take-home DVD gift of the movie.

Which Way for American Foreign Policy Postelection?
On October 29th, the International Peace Institute hosted an evening conversation with James Traub, contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, on the US Presidential election and its impact on American foreign policy. The discussion was moderated by Warren Hoge, IPI Vice President and Director of External Relations.
This event was part of Beyond the Headlines, a series of evening meetings, each featuring a leading personality invited to speak on international issues and to engage in a robust discussion with experts from Permanent Missions to the UN and other members of the UN community.
James Traub is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine, where he writes about international affairs, US foreign policy, and national political issues. He recently published The Freedom Agenda: Why America Must Spread Democracy [Just Not the Way George Bush Did], and is the author of four other books, including The Best Intentions: Kofi Annan and the UN in the Era of American World Power (Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2006).
The Freedom Agenda is a reflection on the promotion of democracy and the questions it raises: what constitutes a democracy? Are there preconditions for it? What role can outsiders play?
Americans have been trying to shape democracy around the world for more than a century. But when President Bush declared, in his second inaugural address, that "the survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands," he elevated this cause—the "Freedom Agenda," as he called it—to the central theme of American foreign policy. Yet, James Traub stresses, the war in Iraq has proven the folly of seeking to impose American democracy by force. As we leave the Bush era behind, the question arises: What part of America's efforts to spread democracy can be rescued from this failure?
The Freedom Agenda offers a richly detailed portrait of America's support to democracy from the time of McKinley and Wilson to the post-9/11 era. James Traub describes the rise and fall of the Freedom Agenda during the Bush years, through interviews with key administration officials and through his own reporting from the Middle East and Africa. In the end, Traub argues that democracy matters—for human rights, for reconciliation among ethnic and religious groups, for political stability and equitable development—but the United States must exercise caution in its efforts to spread it, matching its deeds to its words, both abroad and at home. This nuanced approach is a proposal to support democracy in a "more honest, more modest, more generous" way.

"We continue to be the biggest exporter in the state of Alabama and in the Southeast as well," Markus Shaefer, Mercedes-Benz CEO, President said.
"To see the kind of passion that goes into these vehicles down here in Alabama - it starts with Mercedes Benz passion: the best or nothing, but there is a special flavor to it, a twist to it - there is a bit of Alabama, there is a bit of home grown there that I think has a bit of magic in it," Steve Cannon, Mercedes-Benz US said.
... But faster than it's horsepower, is the speed Tuscaloosa County leaders say - new jobs are coming to Alabama.
"It's given a lot of folks the opportunity to remain in their state and in their community and have a good job," Judge Hardy McCollum, Probate Judge, Tuscaloosa County said.
In 2014, Mercedes will begin production of its new C Class in Alabama but it will begin hiring this year. And a new car from Mercedes - kept a secret - is expected to bring in 400 more jobs. That means not only a workforce boost, but a big increase for the supply chain.
"We have a lot of other companies located here in Alabama because of Mercedes - they supply this vehicle," Judge McCollum said.
The new GL will roll into showrooms by about September. Mercedes-Benz has not yet released its price tag.

Georgia faces losing up to $76 million in federal funding due to its huge backlog of food stamp applications. It must fix a system plagued by understaffing, antiquated technology and a call-in center that cannot handle all the calls that come in. Today, an analyst on the right suggests a number of reforms, while one on the left writes that the state should hire an adequate number of workers to handle the overload that began mounting with the Great Recession.
Commenting is open.
By Rachel Sheffield
Georgia's food stamp program is making headlines—and not the kind you like to see.
Tens of thousands of applications are backlogged. The state Department of Human Services blames it on a rapid, recession-induced increase in caseloads, combined with a decrease in administrators and a poorly designed administrative system. Now the feds are threatening to pull some funding until the state gets its bureaucratic act together.
Certainly DHS needs to address the administrative problems. But the reality is that the food stamps program as a whole is far overdue for reform. Wise reforms would help ensure that assistance is available to those most in need, while at the same time encouraging able-bodied individuals along the path to self-sufficiency.
Food stamp rolls have shot up dramatically over the last several years all across the country, growing by 125 percent between 2003 and 2013. Georgia's food stamp rolls increased at a slightly higher rate, roughly 130 percent, during that decade.
Not surprisingly, food stamp funding also soared, quadrupling between 2002 and 2012. Much of the program's growth is connected to the recession, but rolls were expanding long before it hit in December 2007. Part of the reason is that policy changes implemented before and after the recession have made it easier for individuals to get on food stamps and stay there.
Take, for example, the policy known as "broad-based categorical eligibility," adopted by Georgia in 2008. It allows states to fast-track individuals into food stamps. More problematically, it allows states to overlook a household's assets when determining food stamp eligibility.
In Georgia and in most states, this means there is no limit to the amount of savings a household can have and still be eligible for the program.
Additionally, the food stamps program has no meaningful work requirement for able-bodied adults. A reasonable work requirement encourages individuals to get on the path to self-sufficiency and helps recipients preserve dignity. Yet even for able-bodied adults without dependents ("ABAWDs") the modest work requirement enacted with the 1996 federal welfare reforms has been waived in most states, including Georgia.
A work requirement also helps protect against fraud. Requiring food stamp recipients to report all employment or undertake a supervised job search decreases the odds that a person will be able to collect food stamps while secretly holding down a job.
The food stamp funding formula also needs reform. Currently, 95 percent of the program funds come from the federal government. With so little "skin in the game," states have little incentive to ensure the funds are used efficiently. To encourage wiser use of these taxpayer dollars, states should gradually take on a portion of food stamp funding.
The reach and cost of food stamps have exploded over the last decade. It is past time for reform. We should jettison policies (such as broad-based categorical eligibility) that allow benefits to flow to those not truly in need. Critically, food stamps must include a work requirement for able-bodied adults to encourage self-sufficiency, as well as to ensure that resources are going to the neediest.
States can take both of these steps now. In Georgia, it would mark much needed progress toward helping individuals in need and getting food stamps back on track.

By Melissa Johnson
The state's chronic underfunding of its human service agency is provoking the threat of a federal crackdown, as its food stamp program isn't keeping up with the increase in Georgians eligible for benefits following the Great Recession.
Food stamps help put meals on the table for about 1.7 million Georgians every day. It's too bad the program often serves as a political punching bag, because the truth is it provides a vital support system to many families that lost income when the economy collapsed.
It isn't their fault the number of Georgians living in poverty rose to 1.8 million in 2012 from 1.3 million in 2007. It wasn't their call to cut the state's Department of Human Services budget by more than 15 percent since 2009. They certainly don't deserve to be drug tested for the privilege of applying for food assistance, as pending legislation would require.
Still, families that rely on food assistance are left to suffer the consequences of an ongoing state budget squeeze. A flawed new phone system in state offices is causing unacceptable waits for people trying to get information about benefits. A backlog of applications is so severe the federal government granted the governor's request to pause eligibility screening for some applicants to clear it before penalizing Georgia as much as $15 million.
Food stamps are one of the few public assistance programs in place to quickly meet the needs of families as they struggle to get by after the state and national economies collapsed. Thousands of Georgia families were able to use the benefits to purchase groceries after their personal finances cratered.
Operating an efficient food stamp program is also good for Georgia in the long run. Children in families that receive food assistance enjoy better health and educational outcomes as they grow up than children without access to food stamps. Children make up nearly half of Georgia's food stamp recipients.
Georgia's problem is self-inflicted. The state did not increase state spending to add caseworkers during the recession, even as caseloads began a rapid climb in 2009. State workers who review eligibility for food stamps, Medicaid and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families handled an average caseload of 761 in December 2013, nearly 17 percent more than just four years ago.
The state did install a new phone system last year in an attempt to catch up with demand. But system glitches continue to cause long wait times and disruptions for both existing and potential food stamp recipients. The resulting backlog prompted a federal agency threat to impose penalties.
The state recently asked for a federal waiver to postpone eligibility screening for thousands of food stamp applicants before the May deadline to avoid the threatened penalties. The federal government granted the request, but this flexibility is just part of a short–term fix. It is past time for state leaders to calculate how many workers are required to run the program efficiently and budget enough money to get the job done.

DeborahinAthens… I decided to come back to this and actually read through your entire rants, and I hadn't realized how filled with anger you are. Wow! Talk to your doctor, quickly! You are in serious need of medications. I just hope you can make it in time.

Evidently I didn't make myself clear in the first comment. Allow me to express it differently. We allow Yang Yang, Lun Lun, Xi Lan, Po, Mei Lun, and Mei Huan to volunteer their services to Zoo Atlanta. Now immediately, you should have known they were not thinking properly. It is at this point you should have forced them to continue living separately in freedom. Otherwise, by default, you are 100% responsible for spending the amount of money necessary to service their basic needs.

Very well stated MHSmith! Now, that we're back to the original topic, the deflection that liberals like to use to get away from arguments they always lose doesn't help solve problems. If Deborah thinks that the program is working just fine, perhaps she would like to have a more direct impact by providing money to a drug addicted food stamp recipient herself. Maybe then, she'd take a more active interest in how the money is spent. The reality, however, is that liberals aren't really into charitable giving, unless it is with someone else's money……by force of taxation.

@DeborahinAthens, you have no idea where I get my news from and your accusation against me are pure fabricated lies. I want people who need food assistance to receive it until they can regain the fiscal ability to buy food using their own resources. Not allowing people to use what little money they do have to waste on a drug addiction when they can't even buy food for themselves is the best thing I or anyone can ever do for them. To further demand they enter a drug abuse recovery program to receive public assistance is the least they can do for themselves and their families.
The greater evil in this case, is not my "HARDNESS OF HEART", DeborahinAthens, it is your "SOFTNESS OF HEAD"!

I rather enjoy reading the two of you as you "attempt" to be condescending and superior! First, you assume (I'm sure you know what that makes both of us) that I'm a Fox News aficionado. There is your first mistake. I was merely pointing out how "clever" it was calling it that "original" name. Now, tell me. Is all this reading you do from DailyKos or Huffington Post? Probably both, with a little MSNBC thrown in for good measure. Deborah, if you think that a rancher who hasn't paid grazing fees due to an ongoing dispute with the Feds is reason enough to bring out a militarized response, then you go on living in that America. You deserve it… keep on drinking your kook-aid. You calling me stupid? Haha. You are proof that stupidity knows no bounds. Viet, you do understand the idea of use of terms in the non-literal sense, right? Oops, no… apparently not. But, since you want to give me a lesson on the usage, I'll change that to a logical fallacy. There, does that help you understand? Now, get off your high horses… OUCH! I didn't say to fall flat on your faces!

Mamouian, Deborah is correct that Fox news isn't real news. It's purpose is to mis-inform, not inform. According to a study by Fairleigh Dickinson University's PublicMind, people who only watch Fox score worse on current event quizzes than people who watch no news at all. Deborah is guilty of a grammatical error, however. She should have said faux news, not Faux News.
And FYI, "ad hominem" means "at the person," an argument based not on facts, but personal insults, like saying "lefties" or Kook-aid drinkers. To elaborate further, if I had not cited the FD study above, but simply had said you should find someone literate to look up words in the dictionary for you, that would have been an ad hominem attack. See the difference now?

text: In Steve Kleinedler's essay "The Very Definition of Marriage" (Perspective, June 2), I think he says it all in his last statement: "As a citizen, I have great hope that the court will rule in favor of marriage equality." I stand right there with him and hope for the same. After that, let's hope the military is smart enough to offer government benefits to the spouses of gay soldiers. Being gay is not a choice, and this country needs to respect that. Until such time as our nation and its people accept everyone for who they are, gay or straight, it won't be considered the home of the free in my eyes.

The two best parts of thrift store shopping, in my opinion, are the deal and the hunt. There is a unique sense of pride you feel when you walk down the street in a pair of amazing shoes that cost you $3 and took you 45 minutes to find. That's what I think is lacking in most Brooklyn thrift stores. When I walk into the store I want it all, and can afford none of it.
But for vintage junkies like myself (people whose idea of a fun afternoon is getting elbow deep in a box of used retro glasses, or haggling over an '80s disco dress), the mother load can be found off of the Halsey stop on the L train. Located between the Hollywood Video and the enormous parking lot of the Food Bazaar, The Basement is packed wall to wall with clothes, furniture, books, and other miscellaneous items — at such cheap prices, I convince myself I can't live without them.
Take, for instance, the 25-cent packs of completely untouched Alf stationary I found. I bought some and have used them for every thank you card I've written in the last year (for just $1.25 I bought enough to last me until at least 2010). For $1, I bought an old National Geographic book about primates that became my coffee table book, and the source of amusement for my roommate and I on many a boring night. (When he moved out I gave him the book to remember me by.)
When walking into the basement, one can't help but notice that it is literally a basement. Don't let the artwork at the bottom of the stairs set a tone for you (mostly homemade paint-by-numbers and giant prints of clowns and kittens). Just walk right past to the '50s dinette sets and vintage (mostly kitschy) furniture.
Along the back wall are the dresses that The Basement has deemed "vintage." Though mostly '80s, I have found dresses there from as far back as the '40s (these dresses always make me wish I was going to prom again).
As far as the shoes go, I would say the ratio of treasures to trash is about 1 to 3. I currently own a pair of heels from The Basement that are dead ringers to (and $40 less than) a pair I'd previously considered buying at Urban Outfitters. I also found a pair of too-tight saddle shoes that I bought for $2, and ended up selling to Beacon's Closet for $20.
Their tee-shirt selection, for the most part, lacks the novelty one wants from a thrift store, though I have found a couple tees that have evoked some cartoon nostalgia. As far as pants and skirts, I've never been impressed by their selection. In their defense I rarely wear pants or skirts… I'm more of a dress girl.
The Basement is one of the few thrift stores left that will sell by the pound. I would venture to guess that most of their inventory comes from auctions, estate stales, or is donated by the family members of the elderly or deceased. But this is in a wise thrift store shopper's favor, because we know that old ladies hang on to the best stuff until the very end.
The best thing about The Basement is how unaware they are about how cool some of their stuff is. You have to be willing to dig, but there are some really unique pieces there. I have never purchased anything there for over $10 (and that's being generous), so I think the extra time you spend looking around is worth it.
I know that reviewing The Basement might make my deals fewer and farther between. But on the other hand, it will make the hunt more elusive!

Gardner Museum heist solved?
Degas, La Sortie de Pesage Pencil and watercolor on paper, 10 x 16 cm
Twenty-three years after 13 pieces of art were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, the F.B.I. has announced that it might be close to solving the case. The announcement that federal officials know the identities of the thieves was reported in yesterday's New York Times.
The museum is offering a $5 million reward for the return of the pieces, and the F.B.I. has set up this website with photographs of the missing works of art and reports of recent developments.
Manet, Chez Tortoni, 1878–1880 Oil on canvas, 26 x 34 cm.
Even today, the museum keeps the empty frames on display to remind visitors of the paintings that were lost. Sadly, despite this huge break in the case it is still uncertain if the artworks will ever be recovered.

Jeff Jones... single speed and rigid... flat out brilliant.
Surly Pugsley... The rather unique go anywhere mountainbike from Surly. He's actually a pretty handy singletrack bike, but shove his big fat nose into our local beaches (inc a nudist beach) and sand dune single track and be amazed at how much fun you have. He is a lot more fun than his chubby and fuggly looks suggest. Probably a bit like frollocking with Hattie Jacques (pronounced: Jakes), its wrong, but it would be a right giggle.
Salsa Fargo: this has now left, well its sort of here but is now a titanium version.: Awesome do everything drop bar touring 29er. A very nimble bike, totally capable of being a XC race MTB, yet it can happily be loaded up for offroad touring. Size large for 5'9" to 6'3".
Surly Big Dummy: haulage bike. These cost around £1800, so before you splash out on a bike that will save you thousands in fuel and parking, give ours a go. The handling is incredibly stable, I use mine to haul 11 foot surfboards, canoes, kids, dogs and even shopping. Two bikes, a medium and a large
Niner SIR9: 29er rigid single speed mountainbike - I reckon this is the best handling mountainbike ever - seriously. We have the "Tang" coloured Large seen below, and a medium, both rigid and single speed.
Surly Cross Check: call first as we can get hold of one.
Surly Steamroller: fixed wheel road bike, 59cm, one brake and three bottle openers.
Surly Krampus: 29+ 3" tyres, in xl.
Tom Ritchey Road Logic: 59cm frame, 105... a truely wonderful bike.

I just bought an 08 ulysses for 6k it has 14k miles. It is an awesome bike. Super comfy. Tons of tractable power. It throws no sudden suprises. My wife sat on the back of it today and is still in awe. It currently has pure road tires currently but once they wear out im looking at dunlop d616, tkc80 or kendas. It has so much character and great features. My biggest concern is dropping the bike off roading. I would hate myself for denting the frame. It comes with pucks already on but im going to add gripster pads to add more side protection. The fuel tank frame is made by brembo, outer rim brake rotor, oil in the swing arm, the triple tail, x2 power sockets.
For the same price I could have got a new klr. I highly doubt the klr would bring as much satisfaction.

My Hero0 Reviews
Ashamed of being called a coward by Zapp, Fry goes out and tries to do something brave to redeem himself. Based on "War is the H-Word."
Zapp looked up and felt his stomach tighten at the sight. Not that the sight of a dead body was that distressing, he was plenty used to that, but the red hair, reddened with blood, sticking up was what did it. Cursing, Zapp jumped out of the truck that hadn't even stopped yet and ran over to Fry's body, feeling his heart race.
Any other time he'd scoff at feeling so worried about Fry, of all people, but at that moment all he could feel was a sudden loneliness. He dug his bare knees into the ground as he laid Fry flat on his back. His eyes were still open, the lids fluttering, and he had a pulse, however faint. Zapp felt relieved, but focused on what he knew he should do. It really wasn't his job to treat injuries or go out of his way to ensure his men's safety, but he felt compelled to do something now. Of course the medics would fix all this up when they got back to base, but Fry was in shock.
Fry swiveled his eyes to stare at Zapp eerily as Zapp lifted his legs and bent them at the knees so he could loosen his clothes. He recoiled at the wound on his side and even fought the urge to throw up. No way he could do that in front of inferiors. He felt nearly as pale as Fry at the sight of so much blood staining his white gloves and the ground beneath them.
"You...you..." Fry whispered, trying to lift an arm to touch him.
"Quiet, soldier!" Zapp ordered, trying not to look into Fry's eyes. For the most part they were unfocused, but when they found Zapp's eyes, they became suddenly intense. Accusing him, Zapp imagined. He didn't know that Fry was trying to say, "You came for me!" and he mistook Fry's attempt to smile as a scowl.
Trembling a little himself, Zapp leaned close to Fry's ear and pleaded, "I'm sorry." Then he gathered that ruined body into his arms and carried him to the truck. As Fry's blood pressure started to climb to a safer level, he found the strength to wrap one arm around Zapp's shoulders and press his head against him. He moaned at the pain, but his bleeding fingers clutched tightly. The other cadet cringed and pressed himself against the door, as far away from that bleeding mass as possible.
Zapp had watched while the medics treated Fry. They had to sedate him and clean out all the wounds and even give him a transfusion. Artificial toes, just as good as the real thing, were affixed. Fry still looked pitiful by the time they were done. He had been cleared for duty by the medical staff, and Zapp would indeed send him right back to battle in the morning, but he wouldn't tell him personally.
He didn't blame himself for what happened, not really. He knew that Fry had gone out as a result of getting chewed out, but that didn't make Zapp personally responsible. He knew this was true, but he still burned with guilt. It was a repulsive emotion, one he wasn't used to, and he felt a little resentment towards Fry for inspiring it.
His guilt and concern that Fry might not make it through the night led Zapp to sneak to Fry's bedside and squeeze his hand. But he fled as Fry started to open his eyes.
They both acted like nothing happened the next day, but would think of the other the same way ever again.

Previously damaged cars are known to be inferior in safety, due to possible electrical issues, loss of structural integrity, suspension issues, etc. It is nearly impossible to repair a car 100% even for the best professionals. Usually however, when the repairs are done cosmetic issues and making sure the check engine light isn´t on take top priority – while everything else, including your safety is secondary. You would never know for example that a cracked metal support part was repaired by welding instead of being replaced until it snaps on you on the highway – avoid even thinking about such a thing!
Previously damaged cars cost more money in the long-run, usually needing much more expensive repairs than their all-original counterparts. Issues usually arise gradually, but as a result of the accident. Just because "it drives fine" today, does not mean it will not break on you tomorrow. A car that has been previously in an accident, even if repaired well, is never in as good condition as one that has not had any damage. Previously repaired and repainted cars are much more prone to rust, suspension component failure, complicated electrical problems, water leaks, bad fuel economy, premature tire wear and much more.
If you are thinking of avoiding potential issues by either buying brand new, or leasing, think again. Even new cars are driven short distances when they are being transported or parked in outside parking lots. Many times cars are damaged in one way or another before delivery to the buyer. These damages are never reported and are usually fixed right away by the dealer without anyone ever knowing the truth. Furthermore, many dealers are officially allowed to repaint and repair these "brand new" vehicles and still sell them at full retail price. You do not want to pay top dollar for an inferior vehicle.
For years this type of tool was available only to elite car dealers because of its expensive price tag and exclusivity to dealer networks. For the first time it is being available to you at a low cost rental. Car Dealers will never expect a regular customer to walk in with one of these tools; this is the only way to have leverage against a car dealer. If for example a dealer´s best price for a particular vehicle is $20k and then you check and see it has been in a previous accident you can automatically negotiate a minimum $1000-2000 off the price. You should never pay market price for a previously damaged vehicle.
This tool uses percise electronic technology which allows for a sophisticated, yet very easy way to check a vehicle. Easy to follow, simple instructions will be provided with the Carfidant Tool. In short, all you will need to do is turn the tool on, press it against every metal body panel of the car and compare the readings given, they should be roughly the same - if any of the readings stand out (usually thicker paint - higher reading) you know which area has been worked on. It is that simple. In addition we will also explain how to spot the difference between a simple repaint or one that has body filler and is much more serious as well as provide car purchasing tips, advice and industry secrets.
The Carfidant Tool is the only way to truly know if a cars body is all original or not. Neither CarFax nor Autocheck can truly verify this. These services only report what was officially reported to the authorities or other private services. You can imagine how many accidents and other issues are never officially reported. Furthermore, many times officially salvaged cars can be bought with clean titles that have clean CarFax´s or AutoCheck´s, but actually have been previously damaged despite it showing a "clean history."

There are two sled dogs by his side, but Randolph Westphal is leading the way.
Westphal is a "take control" kind of guy.
So, in 1987, when he was diagnosed with a high stage of malignant melanoma. "I decided not to die. I was 29 years old. It was too early to die."
When he found out about cancer, he decided to take off on his bike. "So I went on the road, and the idea was to die on the road."
But at 55, Westphal has biked around the world, five times, endured 28 cancer surgeries. And picked up another mission.
"I like to inspire people. I say to people, 'don't sit in the corner and wait for your death. Open your eyes and lift up your head. The world is beautiful.'"
On his journey, Westphal has also set records by surviving outside, in the freezing cold. "A hundred fifty three days is my record, under zero."
But that's not even the biggest challenge. Westphal says, "the hardest part isn't the cancer-it's the drivers."
"He put me in the ditch and left. My leg was almost gone."
Westphal says he was run over by a driver in Argentina and was in and out of the hospital for five years.
Even still, he embraces his challenges and "I accept my cancer, in the meantime, as a part of my body. Just when you accept things, you can change it."
Westphal's message is simple -"never give up."
He's been spreading that message through bike rides in North and South America and Europe.
Right now, he's on world tour number six which should last until September of next year.

These Seasons Personification poems are examples of Personification poems about Seasons. These are the best examples of Seasons Personification poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
Spring stirs her eager young
Giving life, renewed to those
Who stand about and doze
She whispers hope, of things begun
Beneath winter's cold repose.
Summer, smiling golden rays
With ample breasts of rain
Feeds, and soothes the pain
Of changing white to green to gray
While dressing her wards again.
Fall, donning multicolored hues
Weeps, her leaves cascading
As her life is brilliantly fading
She takes with her the morning dew
Leaving frost in the trading.
Winter, wearing crystal shards
Bares her nudity to all
Standing gracefully tall
She lays a white robe upon my yard
While singing her wanton call.
And I.....well, I sit passively by
Watching through shielding glass
Four sisters marching past
Thanking God who dwells on high
For His daughters stark contrasts.
Timothy I. Brumley
I am the spirit of satin stardust
and the antiquities of golden memories alive
I call to you from the rising warmth of the sun
and greet you in the misty morning light
I am the steady and rolling drum beat
echoing from the jagged heights above
I am the mysterious curves of the raging waters'
and the freedom birds of love
I rise above the white summer clouds
in lilting songs of grace
and roam with the western tail-winds
to take you home again
I am a Spirit of our gracious Lord God Almighty
of love hope and faith
I have come to tell
Dedicated To P.D.
One moist patch, like dewy grass,
surrounded by a field of weeds,
emerges first and breathes at last,
through openings, the air it needs.
Cut off from, and cut off of;
counting on, and counting in;
from down below, to up above -
A smack on tender, crimson skin.
There is a pulse.
One spring bud, like seedling stems,
surrounded by a garden wall,
is standing out from all of them,
despite the fact, they're just as tall.
And though the bud has not yet grown,
the soil and the water see
more than just the seed they've sewn.
They see the flower it will be.
There is a pulse.
One tall stem, like climbing vines,
surrounded by its petals' plumes,
shares its elegant designs,
and stretches as it blooms.
And when the wind begins to call,
the flower spreads it's pollen 'round.
It falls in love, and loves in fall,
and falling love renews the ground.
There is a pulse.
The world that once was slumbering
Beneath the quilt of Winter's snow
Is now set free to gladly see
The rays of golden sunlight
He peeks at first so shyly through
The drifting clouds of leaden grey
And then, behold his beams of gold!
A kiss of gentle sunshine
The trees are budding, flowers bloom
And shades of gentle green abound
The birds of spring so sweetly sing
While kissed by rays of sunlight
How father-like the sun looks down
In glorious warmth and light
To see the things his fire brings --
The miracle of sunshine
From east to west he travells on
In grandly royal golden robes
A pilgrim man, that once began
Benignly sending raylets
As here I watch th'unfolding spring
And bask in beams of heaven's king
I think of monarchs, once divine
Whose wond'rous kingdoms once did shine
This sun hath missed not one poor soul
But fondly with a tender touch
Hath kissed the maids that dwelt in glades
Of distant lands now vanished
Now all, I think, once gently kissed
Have sung the praise of heaven's rays
And all, it seems, that Sun hath wist
Have tracked his run throughout their days
His rhythmic climb and equal fall
While heeding Nature's firmest call
His constant change, yet still the same
When once returned from whence he came
A mystery, a miracle
At times a friend, at times severe
But each new day at Dawn's approach
Reveals the kiss of sunshine
April heralds Summers March
as she leaves behind her warm glow
in blazing trail of red and orange hues
pursued by winds she trips and Falls
chastened to submit to colder paths
stormy clouds-- thunderous showers
shedding garments of leaves and color
exposes herself baring dark squall bruises
behind fragmented damp misty wisp
© Kim van Breda—April 2014
(The start of another winter here in Cape Town)
Glorious spring sunshine kiss my limbs as they sprout
With each opening bud, "I'm so alive" I want to shout
April showers cling to me as I drink each delicious drop
Hopefully chosen by blue jays to build their nest atop
Caterpillars and ants tickle me as they crawl to and fro
Nothing sweeter than watching everything around me grow
Come sit under me, take a break from the hot summer sun
Join me as I watch the baby birds leave their nest one by one
Let's marvel at the beautiful butterflies that flutter all around
The music of my friend the humming bird will surely astound
Smell the delightful fragrance of all the many flowers in bloom
Capture the magic nearby of a newly wedded bride and groom
I'm bursting with colors of yellow, orange, red, gold and brown
I proudly smile each time one of my leaves cascade down
Laughing children make my day as they roll in my splendor
You taking my picture makes this memory much more tender
Scurrying squirrels truly fascinate me, as my acorns they hide
Forgotten ones will one day be my saplings, I'll burst with pride
Snow flakes have delightedly dressed me in a suit of white
City folk string me with lights, I boastfully light up the night
Skaters whipping by me, their energy and actions are compelling
I feel so very blessed to have been rooted within this dwelling
Come and join in the festivities and beauty of each and every season
Become a memory on my branches, I can't think of a better reason
*Dedicated to the 50-80 year old trees in Gage Park, Brampton
Sunshine-blonde with sapphire eyes,
Cheeks tinged pink by bold sunrise.
She smiles at noon to light the sky,
Nudging clouds with gentle sighs.
She wears a gown of mossy lace
With blooming buttons, neatly spaced.
With ocean heart and river veins,
She seldom cries - she dislikes rain.
Fire-red locks with rose gold eyes
Bright with flecks of fireflies.
She pulls a veil of thunder clouds
Across the sky - a purple shroud.
She wears a robe of flaming beads,
A golden crown of rainbow leaves.
With full moon heart and molten veins,
She weeps at will - she enjoys rain.
Raven mane with silver eyes,
Soft skin pale as milky skies.
She exhales gusts of icy wind;
Her breath leaves frost on everything.
She wears a cloak of northern lights
With sunburst jewels carved from ice.
With clouded heart and frozen veins,
She cannot cry - she freezes rain.
Amber curls with emerald eyes -
A fickle pair that floods and dries.
She melts away the ice and snow
And resurrects the sun's warm glow.
She wears a cape of tangled stems,
Of gauzy vines and rosebud gems.
With honey heart and nectar veins,
She loves to cry - she lives for rain.
Oversized sweaters
Perfect for this weather
Leaves falling from trees
Hair waving in the breeze
Cheering at football games
Bonfires with there dancing flames
Stepping on the frozen, cold, hard ground
The wind is the only sound
Stepping inside after being in the cold
Eating fall's harvest can never get old
So much rain
It's just hard to explain
My love for fall
A Winter's night observed by: Steven Hudson
Tranquility mounts in the silence of the moment,
Snow glistens from the branches of a full moonlight
Contrasting darkness's shadowy backdrop,
A gentle calm breeze permeates the air,
Stillness, listening, as this wonderland envelops you
For a season an instant another land transports you
Apparent breath exhaled, a machine fearfully and wonderfully made
In wilderness, frozen and wild that is fearfully and wonderfully made
Green boughs heavy in blankets of snowy white
Black branches barren and void, form lines, into the starry night
Crystals flutter, sparkle and swirl on lumined plains spread out beneath,
On A winter's night observed, a winter's night of peace.
Oh wild North Wind, the wicked breath of Winter's being
You, whose unseen soul scrapes raggedy branches bare
Are driven, like madness blindly from the darkness fleeing
You, who harvest each grey glimpse from sea and sky--
Frighten even stalwart men to hide away in fiery warmth
While you grimly taunt faint-hearted souls to die
Fragile seeds hidden by fairies stay safe and cold and low
Like compact bodies small within their quiet catacombs
Until seductive Spring sends her sweetest winds to blow
and Love madness calms Winter , their passion rouses the dreaming earth
Voyeur sunbeams with Spring's laughter wake the seeds to tingle
And thus enticing sister Summer's greens as hills give painless birth
Wild winds, brave cousins all, you spin our life
And are the witnesses of both our joy and strife
Victoria Anderson-Throop

Welcome to the Boogie Cafe ! by JimmyTheTwin
Out and about town this week and weekend for Art Basel. Got my weekend started on Wednesday.. its been a bit like running a marathon with all the events and parties, not to mention fitting all of that into my normal work week!
This mix is a bit of smooth boogie to keep the stamina up! If it moves ya show some love and hit up the Jimmy's page HERE.
With Art Basel upon us here in Miami some of the most successful installations, in my opinion, are those that break the old paradigm of gallery art. This vid is an example of a movement that's been afoot for a few years running, the remnants of which can usually be found left until the event of the following year. Real Urban Art.
Beware! Caution! I wonder how far civilization is from this?

By Dana Flax
For the last few weeks, we've all had to endure wince-inducing pictures of the "Sex and the City" cast on set in New York City, dolled up in various unsightly '80s garb (and believe me, the '80s just don't suit SJP the way they once did). So just what other garish and taste-questioning surprises might the Pinktini-swilling old gal pals have in store for us?
RELATED: Kim Cattrall, or Kimmy Kitaen? Click to see pics
Acknowledging that flashbacks are generally a tell-tale sign of a sub-prime movie plot (particularly in a sequel) the movie's not looking, well, fresh. It's as if they'll pull out all the stops to make sure that "SATC 2" generates a ton of ticket sales, despite how hollow and pandering it makes the film itself.
Well, according to our friends over at Gossip Cop, the latest pandering move has been in hiring tweenybopper Miley Cyrus for a walk-on role in the film. 'Cause 16-year-olds are so relevant.
RELATED: See more pics of Miley Cyrus
The current version of the script has Kim Cattrall's character Samantha purchasing the same dress as Miley, eliciting a predictably sassy comment from Charlotte's sassmachine gay boyfriend Anthony.
(Spoiler over!)
RELATED: The many stylish looks of Miley Cyrus
Really, guys? Will Miley also join one of the signature girls' brunches to get tampon application tutorials? Or to comiserate about when diamond studs fall off of her cowboy hats?
As a self-professed lover of the "Sex and the City" TV show, I beg of you, bigwig producers, make like Miranda, and start beating some sense talk into yourselves (and the script). Stop messing with a good thing. Oh, and bring back Aidan. He was hot.

On the Set: I Love You, Man
It really was only a matter of time until we did an On the Set feature of the movie I Love You, Man. Like many of you, we admit that we paid a little bit more attention to Klaven's Franklin Hills home (and Rashida Jones' wardrobe) than the main plot line. Take a tour of Peter and Zooey's home, along with Sydney Fife's dude room and Zooey's shop after the jump...

And here's a bonus photo of the Klaven wedding--we absolutely love how simple and elegant the "cabanas" were made with wood posts and white fabric draped across the tops:

I just watched this movie this weekend and was wondering when it was going to be mentioned here!
I watched it this weekend, too! Watched it once all the way through, second time I kept pausing it to drool over the sets. Drove my husband crazy :)
Ha! when I first saw this movie, it was like eye design candy...I couldn't wait to have the movie on DVD to have as a reference for ideas..I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices this stuff.
this film was so well designed for a dude comedy. i couldn't believe my eyes! also loved the silverlake sunset junction establishing shots!
This movie has the exact amount of awkwardness needed for hilarity.
I watched this movie last week and had the same reaction, and in the out-takes they show the wedding reception tent, just as gorgeous, tented white with nelson bubble lamps.
hmm, I'll have to add this to my Netflix....
I want to be Rashida Jones when I grow up
FYI--The wallpaper from the bedroom looks like its from Ferm Living.
Slap-a da BASS!
i loved the house and the store in this movie! i knew it would be on AT soon!
you sound like a leprechaun.
big time!
Loved the movie... also noticed both sets and yes trully eue candy. Great ideas. I normaly do pay attention to this details on movies also the clothing etc. So cool. you can learn a few stuff.
Can someone tell me where to get that lamp in the first picture? It's the round white table lamp with the brown shade. I've scoured what google and bing throw at me for lampshades, but that's a deep abyss.
these are great sets! though, i have to say that the "cabanas" are not made out of wood.
I know because I was one of the many Grips that constructed it!
The "cabanas" that were ordered were flimsy and we were called in to reinforce the structure with steel pipes and steel cables.
but they were very cool designs and i am kinda proud to see them here on this site!
To Ms Grip:
Are there any photo stills of the "cabanas" that you guys built for I love you, Man? I would love to get a look at the structure for not only an upcoming film we're working on but my wedding as well! Fabulous job!

Anna Maria Townhome Rental Photos and Description
Townhome, 2 Bedrooms, 2.5+ Baths, (Sleeps 4)
Anna Maria Island is a beautiful tropical barrier island on the west coast of Florida nestled between Sarasota Bay and the crystal clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Guests love this low key and laid back island with its pristine white beaches and 'Old Florida' charm. The townhome - the Soleil Beach House - was built in 2007 and is located across the street from the beach (30 steps); there are views out many windows with the most spectacular view from the home's skydeck - one of the highest points in the surrounding area and accessible only from the interior of the home.
Soleil is the front unit of a two unit building. The first floor and all of the bathrooms are finished in travertine marble and the kitchen has granite countertops and ample seating area. There are two bedrooms upstairs, each with queen beds, televisions and en suite baths. The bedrooms are furnished with comfortable beds and fine linens. The washer and dryer are conveniently located on the same floor as the bedrooms. There are three different decks. - two are covered with direct gulf views and the third is the sky deck on the 4th floor of the home which has panaromic views of the island.
There is covered parking on the ground level. The garage is equipped with beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, kayaks, and rafts. Bradenton Beach Marina is nearby if you want to rent a boat and venture farther away from shore.
Soleil's location is very central and within walking distance to many charming restaurants like the Blue Marlin, Bridge Street Bistro and the BeachHouse Restaurant. Historic Bridge Street and the Bradenton Beach City Pier are two blocks away and provide activities for visitors of all ages. Visitors can ride a free trolley to explore the rest of the island like beautiful Bean Point on the north end of the island, or, bike or walk to Coquina Park on the south end of the island with views to Longboat Key. At night enjoy the most spectacular sunsets in the world as the sun sinks slowly into the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico.
If you are in need of more bedrooms, see our neighbor's spacious, well-appointed, three bedroom 'Sister' unit VRBO #288751. The same management team maintains both units.
