10 secret strategies to save big bucks at Amazon
If you shop on Amazon, or know someone who does, you need to learn a few tricks that can save 15% or more on every purchase.
This post comes from Maryalene LaPonsie at partner site Money Talks News.
What's not to love about Amazon?
OK, I am sure someone can tell me why they don't love Amazon, but I'll be the first to raise my hand and say I am a fan. In fact, thanks to Amazon, my husband and I did 99% of our Christmas shopping for the kids last year while sitting in bed watching "Fringe." If only they had offered Sunday deliveries then, we never would have needed to go to the store.
Amazon pricing already tends to be a bit lower than that of brick-and-mortar stores, but there are even bigger bargains to be found. Here are the secret ways diehard Amazon shoppers shave even more money off the store's prices.
1. Amazon Associates
Amazon Associates is the website's affiliate program. It is really geared toward bloggers and small businesses, but anyone can sign up.
The key to making it work for you is to find a friend who is a regular Amazon shopper and also willing to sign up. See, you can't earn an affiliate commission on your own purchases but you can on someone else's.
So you and your friend both sign up as affiliates. Then, when you shop on Amazon, you use their affiliate link and when they shop, they use yours. It's an easy way to make 15% cash back on each other's purchases.
2. Subscribe and save
If you want to be sure you never run out of toilet paper or laundry soap, you can use the Subscribe and Save feature available on many household items.
Basically, it works like this: You agree to receive regular, automatic shipments of certain products and in exchange you get free shipping and 15% off.
And I'll let you in on a little secret. Since you can cancel at any time, some people sign up for Subscribe and Save, receive one shipment at the reduced price and then cancel.
3. Amazon Prime
For heavy-duty Amazon buyers like me, Amazon Prime is the way to go. It costs $79 for an annual membership but you get free two-day shipping, which can more than pay for the price of the membership.
Plus you can borrow from an extensive Kindle library for free. And that "Fringe" my husband and I were watching while Christmas shopping? Yup, that was streaming free compliments of Amazon Prime.
Maybe you aren't sure you spend enough at Amazon to justify shelling out $79. You're in luck. Amazon gives you a free one-month trial before they charge you -- a one-month trial that may be perfect for, say, that month right before Christmas.
4. Deal tracker sites
Regular Amazon shoppers know that prices at the online store fluctuate all over the place.
That's where deal tracker sites come in handy. Websites such as CamelCamelCamel.com and TheTraktor.com can show you historical Amazon price data as well as send alerts when a price on a certain item reaches a preset amount.
You can price watch on your own by clicking "Save for Later" on the items that interest you. Creating a wish list is another option. Sometimes, if you put an item in your cart and leave it there for a few days, the price will drop, assumedly to entice you to buy.
5. Amazon Mom
Moms are big business for retailers. All those diapers and wipes and baby supplies add up quick, but you can get 20% off with Amazon Mom.
Unlike Amazon Prime, Amazon Mom is free to join, plus you get a free three-month subscription to Prime's free two-day shipping option. In addition, you get 20% off diapers and wipes as well as 20% off other household items when you Subscribe and Save to five or more eligible products.
6. Amazon Student
Why should moms get all the savings? Poor college kids need a break too.
Amazon Student is essentially a reduced-price version of Amazon Prime. For $39 a year, you get the same benefits of a Prime membership plus special student offers and promotions.
One difference is that you can get a six-month free trial of Amazon Student compared with the 30-day trial offered to Prime members. During those six months, you don't get access to free video streaming or the Kindle lending library, but with six months of free two-day shipping, it's hard to complain.
To get an Amazon Student membership, you need an .edu email address or must be able to otherwise verify your enrollment status.
7. Unearth the deep discounts
Every day can be like Black Friday on Amazon if you know where to look.
- Used items. Amazon allows third-party sellers and individuals to sell used items through its site. Some of these "used" items are actually brand new and sold at deep discount. Look for items that are eligible for Prime or Super Saver shipping. In addition, watch out for those penny books that come with $15 shipping and handling charges.
- Deal of the Day. Every day, Amazon has a new deal. You can find it by clicking on "Today's Deal" next to the Amazon logo at the top of the page. As I write this, the current daily deal is 50% off Ravensburger puzzles and games.
- Lightning Deals. These are also found on the Deal of the Day page. They offer a limited number of deeply discounted items for only a couple of hours. Examples of past lightning deals include 71% off the "Cloud Atlas" Blu-ray edition, 82% off a men's Sturhling Aviator Swiss Quartz watch and 55% off bocce balls.
- Outlet Department. The Amazon Outlet can be buried on the site and may be difficult to find unless you stumble on it. Here's a direct link to the Outlet, and that's where you'll find some of the best deals on new items.
8. Warehousedeals.com
Warehousedeals.com? What's that all about? Aren't we talking about Amazon here?
Sure, and Warehouse Deals is the quick link to Amazon's warehouse where you can find all their refurbished and open box items. Let's see what's there right now: iPad minis for $273, Platinum Keurig coffee makers for $136 and the second season of "House" for $9.
9. Amazon freebies
If you watch our Deals Section, you probably already know that Amazon regularly offers promos including free music downloads, free apps, free e-books and free streaming video credits.
In addition, look for items that come with built-in freebies. One of the most common deals to find on Amazon is a free instant video for streaming with the purchase of select movies.
10. Get your swag on
Finally, one of the best ways to save on Amazon may be to go off Amazon. A number of rewards and survey websites let you earn points that can be redeemed for Amazon gift cards.
Swagbucks.com seems to be all the rage right now, but MyPoints.com -- one of the Web's oldest rewards sites -- also offers Amazon gift cards. Another option is to shop through Ebates.com and get up to 8% cash back depending on the department of your purchase.
So those are 10 ways the pros pay less when shopping on Amazon. What is your favorite way to save?

I really don't want to think about flying and running into Amazon drones with Santa and his reindeer painted on them. Fox News has assured me that the whole drone thing was a publicity stunt (yeah - like let's upset the whole nation, congressmen, and the FAA for merchandising) Really don't use them much. I think I have some type of program which allows me books and videos for free (nothing is free) - like Hulu, Netflix and others aren't doing the same thing. Well, 'tis' the season for and inundation of marketing commercials.

No ID yet for officers in Walpole shooting
Rundles stayed mum on other details surrounding the death of Larry A. Bohannon, 51, citing the ongoing investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death.
Bohannon died from gunshot wounds to the head, chest and abdomen on March 29.
Bohannon had allegedly robbed a store at gun point in Bellows Falls, Vt. earlier in the day. When he fled into New Hampshire, Alstead and Walpole officers pursued his vehicle until they were able to stop him on Upper Walpole Road in Walpole, where the shooting occurred.
Rundles would not identify the shooter, only saying that Alstead and Walpole officers were the only police on the scene.
"When an officer is involved in the discharging of a firearm that results in either the death or injury of another person," the officer is relieved from duty, "until he or she is ready to go back to regular police work."
Rundles would not comment on whether Bohannon had a firearm.
"We're not releasing any further details surrounding the shooting yet," she said.
Results of the investigation are expected to be released early next week, she said.
Lebanon police Lt. Phil Roberts said Thursday his department is looking into whether Bohannon committed two unsolved armed robberies that took place in March.
In both the March 8 robbery of the Little Store on School Street and the March 27 robbery of the Family Dollar store in the Miracle Mile Plaza, witnesses said a white man, about 6 feet tall, brandished a handgun and demanded money.
When asked if Bohannon was being investigated for unsolved Keene crimes, Keene police referred questions to the Attorney General's Office.
Bohannon had a criminal record. In 1994 he received two concurrent 20-year sentences for a kidnapping conviction in Sullivan County and a bail-jumping conviction out of Cheshire County.
Bohannon was first paroled on the sentences in 1996, then returned to jail two more times for technical parole violations.
He had been wanted as a fugitive from justice since July 2011 when he failed to meet with his parole officer.

When I posted a request for dog treat recipes last week, I was pretty shocked at the number of emails and comments I got with cool ideas! I didn't realize that people were so into making their own dog treats!
Of course, after a trip to Petco, I can see why. Most dog treats are really basic ingredients, cut into interesting shapes, and sold for a million times the cost it takes to make them.
Plus, guess what? Dogs aren't picky. They will pretty much happily eat anything you put in front of them including shoes, cat litter, and their own vomit.
Surprisingly, this made me more nervous. Because if Porter didn't like my treats, that means they were, in fact, worse than vomit.
Peanut Butter Dog Treats
- 1/4 Cup peanut butter
- 1/2 Cup vegetable oil
- 1 Cup water
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose)
- 1 Cup oats
- 1 Cup cornmeal
1) Mix peanut butter, water, and oil together. Then add in eggs and dry ingredients.
2) Stir until it forms a sturdy dough.
3) Roll dough out until it's 1/4 inch thick and cut it into various shapes. Feel free to re-roll it as many times as you want.
4) Bake biscuits at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
5) Turn off oven, but let biscuits cool in the oven as it cools which will make them very hard.
6) Give one to the pooch when he or she is a good boy or girl.
From a comment on my post Friday!
Making the Dough
This is basically the easiest cookie dough you'll ever make. I like that it has cornmeal in it though instead of just all flour, because dogs aren't really supposed to be eating a lot of grain.
Some people are very intense on this and won't feed their dogs any grain at all. My take on it is that if the dog is just eating grain one once in a while, it's not going to hurt him. I guarantee you that most dogs eat weirder things throughout the day, so I'm not going to stress it if he consumed a tablespoon of flour.
Start by mixing the peanut butter, oil, and water until it's well combined. Stir it well to make sure the peanut butter is mixed in.
Then stir in the egg, oats, cornmeal, and flour. You should have what is basically a very firm cookie dough. Instead of sugar and butter though, there's just water in this dough so it'll become very hard.
Roll this out until it's about 1/4 inch thick and cut it out into whatever shapes you want. I tried to find a dog bone cookie cutter, but couldn't find one anywhere!
So I kind of just free-formed a few. Again, I don't think Porter cares.
You can re-roll this dough as many times as you want to get maximum usage.
The second time around I went with circles because it was easier.
Baking the Biscuits
Bake these guys at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
Then turn off the oven, but leave them in the oven as they cool. This will make them really hard which dogs love.
When they are cool, feel free to try one!
I took a bite just to see what the big deal was.
They were a bit on the bland side, but they were rock-hard which I figured Porter would like. They had a faint peanut butter taste, but mostly they tasted like a brick.
The real test was if the dog would eat them.
No problem there!
He munched this thing into pieces in a few seconds and then spent the next few minutes licking up every possible crumb he could find.
Then he looked at me like, "Hey. You got any more of those buddy?"
This would be a totally fun project for kids to do. They could cut them out into various shapes and then feed them to the dogs!
The recipe is pretty foolproof.
Even if you do mess it up, your dog will probably eat it anyway and still love you unconditionally.
That's what they do after all: Eat and love.

One for the Books exhibit opens to rave reviews from fans, Hall of Famers
By Bill Francis
May 28, 2011
View a press release about the exhibit
View a photo gallery of the exhibit opening
With three of the game's greatest players on hand, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's newest exhibit, One for the Books: Baseball Records and the Stories Behind Them, opened to the public on Saturday.
Beforehand, a ribbon cutting took place in which Hall of Fame officials as well as enshrinees Joe Morgan, Phil Niekro and Cal Ripken Jr., a trio that combined played 67 big league seasons and had its share of records, joined in the festivities.
"It just blows your mind away when you come up here and see the names behind the records and the second guy and the third and the fourth," said Niekro minutes after the opening. "I've always said that records were made to be broken; some of them have and some of them will not be.
"Records, for me, really don't come into play as you're playing your career until you get right next to one, and all of a sudden it becomes real big."
As for those records that will never be broken, Niekro put Ripken's consecutive games played streak at the top of the list.
Nearby Niekro was Ripken, talking in front of an exhibit case that included a helmet, tickets and a scoresheet from the night when his amazing consecutive games played streak surpassed Lou Gehrig's.
"Once the streak was formed, I tried to keep the same exact approach to the game after that. I was resilient enough, I was healthy enough, mentally I was strong enough to do it, and the managers kept choosing me," Ripken said. "I don't look at the streak as an unbreakable record. If I could do it, certainly somebody else has that ability. And it happens not because you're obsessed with it but because you feel you should be coming to the ballpark ready to play. You should be trying to meet the challenges of each and every day. That's what a team does.
"Every body wants to fulfill a dream in whatever they do. Mine was to be a baseball player. You fulfill a dream by first making it, and then after you're in it you'd like to leave your mark in some way as a contribution to the sport," Ripken added. "Being celebrated here in this Hall of Fame exhibit is part of that mark. But I've got to tell you, it's surreal in many ways and almost seems like, 'Did that part of my life really happen? Did I play all those games?'"
According to Morgan, he was both thrilled to be there and amazed by some of the numbers.
"I didn't realize that so many guys hit four home runs in a game. And I wasn't aware that a couple guys stole seven bases in a game. This just tells you about a lot of things that we just weren't aware of," Morgan said. "Honestly, I didn't realize I was second to (Hall of Famer) Eddie Collins as far as games played by a second baseman. There are a lot of things in here that are going to open people's eyes that they probably didn't know about. For me, already, it's been enlightening.
"You grow up and the numbers you remember are 714, 61, 56, but obviously some of those numbers have changed now, but Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak is still there," Morgan added. "I was with Pete Rose when he got to 44 consecutive games and I actually thought Pete was going to make it. When Pete set his sights on something, he usually accomplished it."
Thanks to the generosity of Presenting Sponsor Legendary Pictures, along with its founder Thomas Tull, the exhibit is the most interactive in the Museum's history – featuring the Top Ten Tower, a database of records dating back to the game's infancy.
"This is truly awe-inspiring," Tull said. "The exhibit, when you hear the pitch, when you hear what it's going to be, it sounds really great, but it pales in comparison, frankly, to the presentation, the artifacts that are here, it's just truly awe-inspiring."
From Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson came only high praise for those that played a part in the institution's latest prize destination.
"When I first saw the exhibit, I thought how lucky are we to have the most professional, the most dedicated, the most outstanding staff I've worked with here at the Hall of Fame," Idelson said. "From the curators to the designers to the research team to the development office to raise the funds, to the maintenance staff that keeps it looking great, top to bottom, across the board, this staff knows how to put together a world class exhibit.
"And the exhibit truly captures the essence of what baseball records are all about. Not only are the artifacts there to tell the story, but the stories about those records are put into their proper historical context so you understand why records were set, how records were set, what the conditions were."
Bill Francis is a library associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Break the Ice: 5 Favorite Party Games
Whether you're hanging out with friends, or hosting family for an extended amount of time, there's nothing like a good old fashioned party game to keep the holidays fun. Games are a great social activity to help avoid conversation lulls, congregating around the TV or eyes glued to smartphones. From classics to Kickstarter-funded newbies, here are a few of our current favorite party games.
Charades: A classic game that doesn't require any cards, boards or game pieces. Players act out a word or phrase, often by miming similar sounding words. The more creative and unusual the words, the more interesting the game.
- Telestrations: A mashup of Telephone and Pictionary. Using an erasable wipe board, everyone plays simultaneously: each player gets a word and draws what they read. Everyone then passes their board with the drawing on to the person next to them, and guesses what word is depicted on the board that they recieve. Everyone continues to draw, pass, and guess until it reaches full circle. While there is a boxed game available to purchase, you can easily make this game on your own with scrap paper and pencils. This game is fun for both artists and the drawing-challenged (if not more fun).
- Cards Against Humanity: Probably best played with friends and other people you feel comfortable offending. Often described as a more crass version of the game Apples to Apples.
- Loaded Questions: A game of who-said-what? You must correctly guess fellow players' answers to probing prompts and questions. A great game to see how well you know friends, and for getting to know new acquaintances.
- The Settlers of Catan: If you're looking to kill a lot of time, this is your game. Using a customizable board, players collect resources and build armies, roads, and cities, which eventually lead to victory. It can quickly get competitive and easily last two hours, or even more with one of the many available expansion packs.
What games will you be playing this holiday season?

Apples To Apples!
Munchkin. You feel like a complete dork while playing it, but it is so fun.
and I always thought it was a "white board"
We picked up a copy of Balderdash at a stoop sale recently, and have been having a blast playing that.
Pit is also incredibly fun and works with up to eight people. There are no turns and everyone plays at once, so it can get pretty shouty near the end of a round -- if your neighbors are inclined to noise complaints you may want to pass on it.
I've never been a Settlers fan (don't particularly enjoy negotiation games), but can usually get people who want to play Catan to play Dominion instead. It's similar in that your goal is to build your civilization, but it's more about deck strategy than scheming against the other players. Innovation is another excellent card game.
Another vote for Dominion... that's a great game.
For people new to games, Carcassone is based on a similar concept to dominoes, but with more strategy. That's a great one for lots of people too.
Yes! Dominion! Especially the Intrigue expansion (can play up to five). Also, 7 Wonders (can play up to seven people!) is a quick one that is easy for newcomers to pick up. Another super fun card based game is Citadels (again good for large groups of people, up to seven).
I agree with MerBot, Carcassone is a good one for a medium size group (up to five players right?). Another fun game, imho, for that sized group is Race of the Galaxy, but that is a bit more involved strategy-wise just due to the many ways to go about winning!
I must suggest Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards- http://www.cryptozoic.com/games/epic-spell-wars-battle-wizards-duel-mt-skullzfyre
The art style is fun, the game has a great sense of humor, and it's very easy to learn. Everyone requests we bring it to game nights now. And I second Munchkin!
YAY! Munchkin Quest! Lots of expansions for that game too!
And of course, Cards Against Humanity! But you will need three things: 1) A sense of humor, 2) An imagination, and lastly, 3) Fellow gamers who are not easily offended. If you do not have all three, then you can substitute any with strong cocktails, and it will still be a blast to play!
Left Right Center is a really fun one, and no skillz necessary
Bohnanza! It will reveal your soul. In a funny way.
The problem with Settlers as an ice breaker is that if you have folks that aren't board game people, it's easy to get frustrated. Opening games need to be low complexity so that anyone can compete from the get go. Then you can ease them into the rabbit hole of more more interesting games....
Catchphrase!! It's a favorite among my friends. We play it at almost every party. Gets everyone riled up and having a great time. Easy to pass around and play in large groups.
List of things
Say Anything
Apples to Apples
I LOVE cards against humanities - but I only have one group of friends who don't feel intimidated by the crass outcomes of that game. With every other group, apples to apples is a popular choice.
Unfortunately, neither game works with family because everyone insists on treating the cards like its a secret who put them down so you can't argue for your card. I think its silly and arguing for your card is part of the fun. Oh well, someone pull out balderdash...
Cards against humanity!! My friends and family love them. They are crass and terrible, but so entertaining for a large group.

Powerpoint karaoke (get random powerpoint presentation from internet and have people present it). Alternatively: Find old family slides and do slide karaoke.
Farkle! It's a dice game, no skill necessary. I love it because you have something to do, but you can also keep up a conversation.
Write names of famous people on sticker labels.
Place stickers on your guests' backs as they arrive.
Have guests mingle and ask questions/give clues to each other's mystery person. Make funny comments about people's characters ("Why, I haven't seen you around since the 1800s!") Great way to get strangers to talk to each other with less awkwardness than usual.
Years ago I played an Icebreaker game and I cant find the questions anywhere.
One of the questions was,describe the ocean in 2 words? After answering all the questions, the person asking the questions has answers. For example; when you get to the "describe the ocean in 2 wordsl" the answer is, This is how you feel about sex. It was really funny to get different answers. Does anyone know this game?

Losing Count: How Do You Keep Track?
We were making bread last night and had one of those moments. You know. When you're counting out cups and then someone asks you a question from the other room and by the time you get back...."Dang, did I add 3 cups or 4?" Do you have any tricks for keeping track of what you've already added?
Of course, the very best way to keep track is to measure everything out ahead of time before even going near the mixing bowl. This is called mise en place by the culinary pros, and yes, it's a very good way of making sure you don't accidentally add the salt twice or short-change the sugar.
We usually do this when making a new or very complex recipe, but with our everyday cooking, we tend to take shortcuts. We'll get out all the ingredients we need for a recipe and arrange them to one side of our work station. As we use what we need, we move the containers to the other side so we can keep track of what's been added and what is left.
If we get interrupted while counting out cups of flour or sugar, we usually make a few quick hash marks in the flour itself to indicate the number of cups we've already added. We'll also sometimes treat the mixing bowl like a clock face and position our measuring cup at the hour that corresponds to the number of cups (two o'clock for two cups, three o'clock for three cups, and so on).
What do you do?

unless my dog is on fire, i'm not answering any questions from the other room while measuring multiple units for a recipe. that's my trick. ;)
Great idea positioning your measuring cup like a clock face! I'd never thought of that, but I'm sure I'll use it someday.
I usually count aloud, which for some reason makes it easier to remember than if I count silently to myself.
I agree with counting out loud. Mise en place is my way to go, it seemed dumb at first and a lot of extra dishes but honestly, my stuff comes out so much better when I'm not scrambling all over the kitchen to grab things as I go along.
Weigh everything!
Sorry. :-)
Since I tend to make the same baking recipes over & over again, I've kind of memorized what they look like in the bowl. Sad to admit my brain remembers little details like that :) When I'm making a new recipe or something with lots of flour (like a triple recipe of pizza dough), I use hatch marks on the recipe.
Another out-loud counter, here. I learned that from my mom when I was just tiny. I'm sure it was as much for her remember while I was "helping" her in the kitchen as it was to teach me. :o]
Count out loud, and don't talk to me!
Measure it out first before baking anything. I've had enough disasters to take the extra time and use a couple extra bowls.
I get my mise en place baby. My attention span is too short to remember how many cups of flour I've incorporated, let alone if I already added the salt. Plus it's fun to pretend like I have my own cooking show.
I'm glad to see others do it, because I also count out loud. Very forcefully. Otherwise I definitely lose track, a LOT.
Count out loud. Always works. Really.
I'm sure to have my ingredients make hills (dry) or puddles (wet) for each unit. For rice I usually make 4 or 5 cups and counting out loud doesn't work for me. I make 4 hills around the edges of the bowl and a 5th in the center if I wish. Then I put the water in the valleys between the hills with the last cup wiping out any hill/valley structure so I know I'm done adding.
Ha! what a great post! I'm with nenasadije, enjoy some selective hearing and ignore the question! at least until you've finished your task.
I'm with Brooklyn Baker: weigh everything. The end results are far more consistent and reliable.
Usually when people try to interrupt me I just say "hold on I'm measuring!"
But when I'm making bread or something else where I have to add a cup or something, mix a while, add another cup, and so on, I use bottle caps. I have a little juice glass with bottle caps in it sitting on my counter. I'll take out 8 bottle caps (for example) and then each time I add a cup, I'll put the bottle caps back in the glass. Then when I run out of caps, I'm finished with that part!
This is where mise en place comes in handy :) Not sure how much you measured into your little bowl? Dump it back into the container and count again.
Counting out loud and keep saying it in my head over and over until the person stops talking, and not letting anyone talk to me until I've put in all the amount for that particular ingredient, or put it all back if it's not mixed with other things already and start again.
Ehhhh I dont measure anything. Ill weigh it occasionally to check my "sight measure" (which is usually pretty dang accurate) but seriously. I. Dont. Measure. Sooooo I never have this issue! LOL. :)
You're not a baker, are you? ;)
Another vote for counting out loud, although the clock face idea is interesting. If I have to stop in the middle of measuring I may try that!
Count me in (bad pun...) the counting out loud camp. I also say out loud "baking SODA" or "baking POWDER", so I don't mix those up as well.
I can usually remember if it's 2 or 3 of something. And if I have a bigger number than that I batch it in 2 or 3. So no matter what, I scoop three cups of flour. It's a lot easier to say "is that 9 or 6?" than "is that 9 or 8?"
Yeah, um, if you are measuring in cups for baking bread, you are doing it wrong to begin with. Weighing is far more consistent, and you eliminate this problem.
It gets a lot harder to keep track after you've had the second glass of wine while you're making the bread whether you count out loud or not, ha ha.
Yup, I ignore them until I've finished what I'm counting. I don't have kids so it's usually just my husband.
i sing. its kinda silly but i dance and sing in place like on sesame street? ONE ah ah ah TWO ah ah ah Three ah ah ah....i like to bottle cap idea.
Mrs. Mack:
I am a little ashamed to admit that I AM a baker who just doesnt measure! I used to but I got varying results! I was putting too much flour in one cup as opposed to ~5oz/150g. SO I started weighing it a couple times and now I am freakishly accurate at eyeballing. So its what Ive been doing forever. Sometimes (like 2x a year) I check with my scale and Im usually realllly close. I eyeball it all. IMBC, cakes, crusts, cookies, pancakes, scones, muffins... yeah everything. I will conceed I have terrible luck with rice though, so I measure that... lol. I am a "go be feel" cook. I also make stuff up all the time, so eyballin' is where its at!
I use the clock-face trick with whatever is on hand.
I don't have scales, so I tend to count out loud. But I sometimes dump my units of measurements out on a sheet of wax paper so I can see the little mounds of flour (for example). But I am also a dedicated, confirmed sifter. I sift everything. So I measure into one large measuring bowl, the "sift" them into another large measuring bowl.
I count aloud (in French, oddly) and tell everyone around me to STFU for a second while I do so. :)
my son's birthday cake yesterday turned out fine... i don't know how though! i switched recipes in the middle of mixing the cake, realizing that 1 of the recipes wouldn't make enough batter for a double-layer cake. the first few ingredients were the same except i forgot that the sugar was more in the new recipe! the sweetness level was perfect, though ... so i guess it's all good!
I weight when I bake bread and never answer unless I'm done measuring with cups etc in other times.
I use these on my kitchen window:
http://www.crayolastore.com/product_detail.asp?T1=CRA 58-8165
When making a huge batch (or measuring more than 3-4 cups of something) I'll make hash marks to keep me in line. They're also great for keeping track of a menu to-do list that never gets covered in flour, lost, or in the way.
(also a scale)
I have a small whiteboard hanging in the kitchen for writing down recipes so I don't have to have my laptop eating up precious countertop space (v. small apartment kitchen). So I also use it to keep track of measurements when anyone else is home and I anticipate frequent interruptions. (Though it never seems to save me from the "Wait, did I just put in 3 TABLEspoons or 3 TEAspoons of salt?")

Black Beauty by Jim in Seattle, on 10/18/2012. Trim: 1998 Volvo S70 T5, Owned 10 years.
Pros: Powerful, durable, reliable. I have $166k on this black beauty. The engine is solid as a rock. Other than standard oil, antifreeze, filters and plugs, I have had only 1 maintanence issue and that was a cam position sensor that was super cheap.
Cons: The electrical is really shaky. the driver side window stopped working and cant roll the back windows up from driver side - the seat warmers on the front seat dont work either.
Overall review: If you get past the minor electrical issues on the interior, this car is a knockout score! This car will easily will run another 100k or so...

sweet misery by sammy from northampton on 05/02/2013. Trim: 1998 Volvo S70 GLT, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: very stylish, rides luxurious
Cons: you can have serious engine problems and never know it
Overall review: id recommend it..if you can afford the maintenance

"Natasha" by An MSN Autos Consumer on 04/08/2013. Trim: 1998 Volvo S70 GLT, Owned 2 years.
Pros: The styling is wonderful- classic, and most people do not believe that it is from 1998 since it looks so timeless! The interior is comfortable and it drives/handles wonderfully. I have never driven a car before where I felt safe from EVERYTHING. A car should make its driver confident, which is what "Natasha" (as I named her) does.
Cons: These cons are not a reflection on 1998 Volvo S70's in general, trust me. I was deceived while test driving the car and therefore ended up with a lemon. Not only did my suspension already come shaky (I bought it in 2011), but a gas smell came through the A/C the second I drove it off the lot and has continued ever since, whenever I use the A/C. My A/C also broke about a year later. The interior also is susceptible to the heat here and consequently the glovebox and steering compartment have come unglued, along with the weather stripping in the rear left window. The car is wonderful otherwise, but I believe it had not been cared for as well as it should've been before I got it.
Overall review: Overall, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this car! It is so comfortable (trust me on this, it has been on four eight-hour drives!) with nary a sore backside. Every day when I drive it, I take comfort in knowing that this car has completely tailored itself to me and my driving style. The seat is sunken in just right and embraces me, the steering wheel moves with my hands effortlessly, and the best part- I know I am in charge of the car. There have been some cars I've driven where it almost feels like the car is the boss (hopefully you know what I mean), but not this one. I used to worry about getting into accidents, but since acquiring this car I feel confident that I can take on anything, if needed, and definitely avoid them. It really has been good to me, and there is really too much to say about it! If the following statement doesn't convince you to buy an S70, nothing will. Despite the problems with my little lemon, I am looking into buying another '98 S70 (with much lower mileage)!

All you need to know about Volvo's S70 by Don John Atlanta on 06/15/2010. Trim: 1998 Volvo S70 GLT, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Great Quality, Goof gas mileage depending on how well you mangae the gas pedal. Extra safe. Good aftermarket styling options and factory ones as well. Pretty spacious interior( I am 6ft 5). Can be very fast/made to be very fast. Online community support for any troubles you have. Volvos are very good at hiding/dealing with problems. You can have major.minor problems, and not even know it, and the car will still drive as if nothing is wrong. (This is only good if you need a little time before you can bring the car to a shop), other cars with similar problems will need a tow, or will be severley affected, the Volvo will just take it like a man, and keep going. The car handles very very good.
Cons: Minor accidents will really fold and crinkle up the sheet metal( that is why these cars are so safe because of the crumple zones). THe motor mounts (Upper, lower, rear, and transmission) love to wear out quickly. The best thing to do about the motor mounts is to get polyurethane versions of the mounts(found on ebay, IPDUSA, and other enthusiast sites), and you wont have to worry again. Car isnt rear wheel drive, there can be some understeer, but it doesnt affect the handling much. Dealer service will drain all of your money, and I dont recommend using a dealer because they rip you off. OEM parts can be expensive, and some aftermarket parts are way better than oem, but are hard to find.
Overall review: I love my S70, and if you get one, you will love it too. It is safe, spacious, fast, and the swedes and germans use them as Police cars. They retain good value, and they have durable powertrains. Make sure that you check the car out once a week, because Volvos are good at hiding problems, which is a good and bad thing. Good if you need sometime to get to a shop, bad if you dont pay any attention, and continue to drive with the bad condition after a week or two. You will be safe in an accident, but the car will crumple up. Great accoustical sound. Can fit a Dual 15' subwoofer enclosure in the trunk with room to spare. Good handling. Replace old suspension components. Check online volvo sites and forums for styling parts, performance parts, races, and activities. Youtube has several videos of racing volvos, tuned volvos, styled volvos, and normal volvos. If you get a turbo model, opt for the 2.3L engine, which can be tuned to 500h.p. The wagon is even better. It is called V70.

my little volvo by schav18 from chicago area on 02/16/2009. Trim: 1998 Volvo S70 T5, Owned 1 year.
Pros: this is my first car, i have now had it for 9 months and love it. i love that my seat heats up, i have a winter, economy or sport transmisson that allows the car lots of versatility. i bought this car for $3,000 and invested $2,000 at the volvo dealership to fix a couple of little problems but i have had no problems with it since then and for the cheap price it was worth it. My car had an mpg reader and i can ussually get it up to 32 on the highway and up to an average of 36 on roads even if it wastes alot of gas accelarating. i would definitly recomend this car, especcially with the turbo i love the accelaration and it can easily keep up with the newer cars.
Cons: the check engine light has been on but i know lots of people who have oned this car and say it was a defect that volvo fixed but was still a problem in 98'. also this cars parking light turn on when i go to fast over a big bump. however otherr than that its fine.
Overall review: love this car and even thought im young and would prefer a sportier look it is great to have as a first cvar and will defenitly consider another volvo in the future.

Magic Lance: Mystery and Adventure in the New West, Hal Simmons
Clear Light Publishing
Santa Fe, N.M., 2008, $14.95
Wonderful proposition — what would happen if the tribes of New Mexico banded together and used the money they are making out of gambling for a common goal? What if land acquisition were the goal? What if a thinly disguised Ted Turner also wants to acquire land?
"Magic Lance: Mystery and Adventure in the New West" is thoroughly enjoyable with recognizable and likeable personalities.
The city won't have a lobbyist to promote Las Vegas issues at the state Legislature — at least for next year.
At this week's meeting, the City Council considered a proposal to include lobbyist duties for the position of grant writer.
Councilman Morris Madrid said he opposed including lobbying among the grant writer's duties. He said the skills required for lobbying were quite different from writing grant proposals.
The parents of a Robertson High School football player accused of rape and kidnapping in a hazing incident and kicked out of school have sued the school district, contending he was not directly involved.
The federal court lawsuit also says that in any case, the player was being punished for behavior that was implicitly endorsed by the coaching staff.
West Las Vegas Middle School is punishing a student who brought two pellet guns to school this week, a top official said Thursday.
Jim Abreu, superintendent of the West Las Vegas schools, said middle school authorities found out that the boy had brought the two weapons to school Tuesday. Officials had evidence from a security camera of the boy showing off the pellet guns to classmates.
For experimental purposes only, I wanted to test the frequency of capital letters adorning products. Accordingly, I've arrayed a dozen items in front of me to test the theory.
My belief is that most people overuse capital letters, LIKE THIS. And they like to play with exclamations marks as well!!!!!
But it's hard to hear anything or anybody when everyone's shouting.
Let me explain:
If national trends are an indication, Las Vegas may have more than its share of people without enough food.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, in its annual survey of food security, found that 11.9 million Americans suffered a substantial disruption in their food supply during the year, reflecting an increase of 40 percent since 2000.
New Mexico was reported to be the second worst state in the nation for food insecurity, being beaten out only by Mississippi.
The HU Singers will perform "A Tim Burton Christmas" at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6, in New Mexico Highlands' Ilfeld Auditorium. The program features musical numbers from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "The Corpse Bride."
Ridgerunner Road has plenty of government offices these days — including those for the Social Security Administration and the Division of Motor Vehicles.
Yet another building is going up at the end of the street. The developer, Carlos Lopez, who owns Northern Builders, is constructing the building. Lopez said he plans to lease it to the state Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.
The division already has an office on the street. Lopez is not sure what will take the place of the division in its current office.
The list is long. Broken fences and bent basketball rims, overgrown weeds and trash scattered about, a lack of working restroom facilities, graffiti — these are just a few of the items found to be at Las Vegas' 14 public parks and recreation facilities. Scores of items were on the list. No wonder the mayor and city councilors described it as "embarrassing."
The die is nearly cast and America's newest presidential hope has chosen Hillary Clinton, the senator from New York and the spouse of an aberrantly brilliant American politician, for the important post of Secretary of State.
Bill Richardson, the affable, ingenious, out-of-the box guy, our ever-popular governor, ended up a distant second in the competition for this post. Those of us who like Bill and know of his uncanny capacity for insight and sound analysis — Wen Ho Lee excepted — are saddened and a bit querulous.

Tesla Motors Inc. might be on the verge of disrupting two industries, warranting a share price of $320, says Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas, in a note to investors released Tuesday.
Its shares surged 11% to $241.18 in early trading on the Nasdaq after Mr. Jonas released his note.
That new share price target is up from $153. Its shares have surged following an adjusted $46 million fourth-quarter profit and reports of rising production capacity and demand.

Tesla is expected this week to announce plans to build a new battery factory along with partners that will be able to take raw materials in on one side and produce batteries out the other side, lowering the cost of battery cells. Mr. Jonas thinks that the cell production has the potential to have Tesla become a major competitor in the electrical grid storage business.
"Tesla's request to disrupt a trillion [sic] $ car industry offers an adjacent opportunity to disrupt a trillion $ electric utility industry," Mr. Jonas writes, in a note titled "Nikola's Revenge: TSLA's New Path of Disruption."
He estimates that Tesla will be producing 370,000 vehicles a year by 2020, up from 22,400 last year. By 2028, the company should be over 1.1 million units of production, and the Tesla's out in service could be used as back-up grid storage for the utility industry. Much of the volume is connected to Tesla's planned "Gen 3" vehicle, which the company aims to put out in 2017 with 200 miles of electric range and a starting price around $35,000.
His bear case for Tesla still estimates that the company will be making 220,000 vehicles a year by 2020, warranting a $100 a share target. Porsche, a division of Volkswagen AG, sold a record 162,145 vehicles in 2013, for comparison.

Work has already begun on the three-quel for Taken....even though screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen has admitted "we've taken everyone we can take."
Although the latest Istanbul-set Taken 2 wasn't a huge critical hit, it managed to pull in nearly $50m in its opening weekend, doubling the original film's first weekend receipts.
"We didn't start talking about [it] until we saw the numbers," Kamen told Hollywood.com. "But then we said, 'Oh, okay. I think we should do a third one.' And Fox wants us to do a third one."
Whether Liam Neeson will be aboard is not certain but Kamen insists they've worked out another route to take the story down
"We've taken everyone we can take," he says. "It's going to go in another direction."
Taken 2 follows Neeson's ex-spook Bryan Mills and his violent efforts to free his kidnapped wife (Famke Janssen) after she is captured by the same Albanian mobsters from the original Taken.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly isn't going to name his starting quarterback anytime soon, but he insists that the cloud of uncertainty over whom will be the starter — Nick Foles or veteran Michael Vick — should be beneficial for Vick's mental preparation.
Says Kelly:
I think [the uncertainty helps] tremendously. Once you think you've arrived in this game, you're going to get passed on by. Just because somebody and no matter what the situation is, quarterback, running back, offensive line, you become a starter that doesn't mean all of a sudden you can kick your feet up and say, 'Now I'm all set, this is a good deal.' It's about getting better every day and there's always something you can learn, whether it's as a coach or as a player. I think that mindset will really benefit Mike in the long run (Pro Football Talk).
Of course, another school of thoughts says it's better for a player to know early on if he'll be a starter, but Kelly should be given the benefit of the doubt here. It's his team; he should run things his way. What do you think, Eagles fans? Should Kelly just make the call and get it over with? Or do you not mind the drawn-out process?
(Personally, I'm still entirely on Team Start Dennis Dixon.)

« Will the original Sarah Connor "be back"? | Main | Is Slumdog a Slam Dunk? »
February 20, 2009
Who are the greatest active directors?
One major surprise: Woody Allen is nowhere to be found. Yes, the man has had some clunkers, but he's probably still made more truly great films than most of the people on this list-- certainly more than Apatow, who probably wouldn't have a career if not for Allen's trailblazing work, and certainly more than Zack Snyder, whose biggest claim to fame, 300, is little more than a technically impressive but soulless exercise in violence pornography.
Someone whose absence is not surprising, but who I would have liked to see on the list anyway: Wes Anderson, who, apart from Tim Burton, just might be cinema's greatest stylist-- and, with at least some of his movies, a tremendous storyteller.
Are there any other directors who you think should have made the cut? Any who made the cut and perhaps shouldn't have?
The problem with Woody Alan is that all his good movies are his older ones. None of his more recent movies were any good. That might have kept him off the list.
Why exactly is Ron Howard on the list? I can't think of a single movie of his that was well done enough to put him on the list. His movies are always hyped, and often controversial, but they are almost never very good.
I would disagree with you somewhat with regard to Woody-- yes, he has become less and less consistent in his greatness, but Match Point is one recent film that stands alongside his best work, in my opinion; I've also heard very good things about Vicky Christina Barcelona, though I haven't seen it for myself, and Jeffrey Overstreet's review here at CT Movies is certainly a negative one.
I do not, however, disagree with you about Howard. The only Ron Howard movies I've ever liked are Splash, which is just frivolous, and Apollo 13, which is a good but fairly workmanlike movie.
For what it's worth, I was a major Woody Allen fan for years -- The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) is still my second-favorite film of all time -- but I haven't really cared all that much for anything he has done since Antz (1998), and he didn't even direct that one. In my review of Match Point for CT Movies, I said it "comes across as little more than a retread of familiar themes and narrative devices. Worse, the urgency that marked some of his earlier dramas has been replaced by a sort of complacency." And I think that criticism could be pointed at Vicky Cristina Barcelona as well.
Hmm. Howabout: Terence Malick, Sophia Copolla,Gus Van Sant, Jim Jarmusch, Michel Gondry, Hsiao-hsien Hou, The Dardennes, and any number of amazing European filmmkakers?
I appreciate that they attempted to include some arthouse directors, but in reality each of the ones they chose have done something that, to some extent or another, appealed and sold widely.

I'm glad I'm not the only one underwhelmed by the resto druid changes. For wanting to have more "meaningful" choices we really only have 2 tiers with interesting talents (30, 60). 75 and 90 are pretty much automatic, and it's really disappointing to have your level 90 talent boil down to "use 2 GCD's to get 20% of your health every 30 seconds". Dream of Cenarius could become interesting with some changes (shorter cooldown or buffing all healing spells for 30 seconds are the first 2 that come to mind). I really see myself switching out my druid for my priest because I don't see druids being able to keep up with other classes and 2/3 of the talent tiers are really uninteresting.
- "75 and 90 are pretty much automatic, and it's really disappointing to have your level 90 talent boil down to "use 2 GCD's to get 20% of your health every 30 seconds".
Actually, I can see uses for all of the abilities. Heart of the Wild basically turns you into a viable, if not particularly optimal, off tank. This is fantastic for fights like Nefarian when you only need a 2nd or 3rd tank for -part- of the fight. Regarding Dream of Cenarius, it's not really uncommon for healers to throw out DoT's on fights with tight enrage timers, that one will just make it even better.
I imagine Disentanglement will be the default choice when you're not chasing an enrage timer or in a position to off-tank, but as a passive ability on a high-movement fight where you're jumping into cat/travel form often, it's pretty cool. I also imagine that the heal will also trigger when you activate Tree form, when you need some free heals the most.
I agree, they're a little underwhelming for level 90 talents, but I wouldn't write them off completely.
I don't see the level 75 talents as automatic, either. Ursol's Vortex would be great for helping a tank round up adds (note that it pulls enemies to the -target location- and not the caster, meaning you pick where they go rather then them all coming to you) and part of my 10m's strategy for Ragnaros was having our resto druid go into Bear form during transition phases to stun an extra add. I'm sure he'd have preferred to stay in caster form for that which would have made Mighty Bash quite useful. I can totally see Disorienting roar being an option for a heavy AoE add phase (Halfus whelps, Ragnaros seeds) to reduce tank damage for a few seconds.
IMO, we'll see some very interesting and creative applications of the new Druid stuff from the high end guilds in the early tiers of MoP, especially Symbiosis.
I see your point with Might Bash, and I do think they took a good step in making it usable in all forms. It just seems that of all the healers and all the druid forms, resto got the least amount of love. I know a lot of people probably feel that way about their class/spec, but I've looked at this from the perspective of both my priest and paladin and I'm fairly excited for their changes. Anytime things change some people are going to like it, some aren't. I just can't imagine that there are too many resto druids who are psyched about the changes the way I am about my priest. With such a long way to go maybe we'll get lucky and blizzard will add some more interesting choices, or make the current choices more useful in more situations. Admittedly, the current talents are a step in the right direction compared to what was initially released. I think the goal is just to make sure blizzard is aware that there's not much for resto druids to be excited about right now and make some changes accordingly.

Just hours after the Smith County Sheriff's Office warned residents to take precautions after a string of burglaries, they released three suspects wanted in connection with the crimes.
On Thursday, the Smith County Sheriff's Office announced that three teens are wanted for their alleged involvement in burglaries in southwest Smith County. Deputies are searching for 18-year-old Broderick Darrnell Willis of Flint, 19-year-old Payton Joseph Raymond of Flint and 19-year-old Austin Michael Drain of Tyler.
Arrest warrants for all three teens have been issued. Willis is wanted for theft of a firearm. Both Raymond and Drain are wanted for burglary of a habitation.
Over the past three weeks, deputies said they have responded to around 15 burglaries, many of them auto burglaries, in the Running Meadows subdivision in Flint and in areas near Farm to Market 2493 and Farm to Market 2813.
A majority of the burglaries are occurring between 3 p.m. and during the early morning hours of the following day. Items taken include purses, jewelry, credit/debit cards, firearms and cash.
One victim, Stephanie Bullington, said she woke up to find that her car had been ransacked. "You feel violated because they have all of my information, all of my banking information, [and] all of my credit cards," she said. Bullington left her purse inside her car the night before in the gated community where she lives. "I had a lot of stuff in there. So, they made away with some priceless things," said Bullington.
The Smith County Sheriff's Office is encouraging everyone to remove all valuables from their vehicles, take the valuables inside their home, and lock their vehicles when not in use.
If anyone has any information on the location of any of these men, please call Detective Aaron Hinton at 903-590-2698, the Smith County Sheriff's Office at 903-566-6600 or Crimestoppers at 903-597-CUFF.
