2013 Ford Escape Review
By Tom Wilson of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
Ford jumps from also-ran to front-runner in the compact SUV market with the all-new 2013 Escape. Good economy, ample power, sporty handling and plenty of amenities are reasons to consider it.
The Ford Escape has had a good run. Since its introduction in 2000 as a 2001 model, the Escape has been one of America's best-selling compact SUVs. Why? It combined the styling and four-wheel-drive capability of a traditional SUV with the size, practicality and driving characteristics of a midsize car. Plus, it was priced right for the weekend warrior looking for something that was fun to drive and capable of some light off-roading or towing.
But it has been five years of unrelenting competition in the compact sport utility market since the Escape was last refreshed. Consequently, the vehicle is no longer a leader among the small utes. Instead, it's near the bottom of the pack.
Enter the all-new 2013 Escape. Starting with the modern Ford Focus platform, Ford has built a vehicle bristling with features, offering sporty handling, great power and such impressive fuel economy that the hybrid model has been discontinued.
But will it put the Escape back on top?
Model Lineup
The SE and SEL trims are the mainstream Escapes and carry the 1.6-liter inline-4 engine as standard and the turbocharged 2.0-liter option as an option. Front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is optional. Generally, the difference between the two trims is the amount of standard luxury and conveniences. But many buyers will find the SE's 17-inch wheels, urethane steering wheel, cloth seats and standard Ford Sync communications just right for daily chores.
SEL buyers step up to standard 10-way power-adjustable and heated leather seating, 18-inch wheels, heated exterior mirrors with puddle lights, ambient lighting and MyFord Touch electronics, among other niceties. Expect keyless entry, pushbutton starting and 9-speaker sound in these models as well.
Naturally, the Titanium offers everything as standard, including high-definition radio and Sony-branded audio, remote starting, and a power liftgate, along with the usual chrome trim and premium 19-inch wheels.
Under the Hood
More interesting is the pair of EcoBoost 4-cylinder engines: the 1.6-liter 178-horsepower and 2.0-liter 240-horsepower powerplants. "EcoBoost" is Ford-speak for their combination of variable-cam timing, direct fuel injection and turbocharging, a synergy of technologies that delivers both exciting power and fuel economy.
All Escapes feature 6-speed automatic transmissions with center-console shifters. A rocker switch on the side of the shifter gives full manual control over the gearbox in lieu of paddle shifters — that steering column real estate is preserved for the Escape's audio and telematics.
The AWD system is fully automatic, integrated into the stability control and transparent to the driver. It normally powers the front wheels, but computer controls automatically shuttle up to 100 percent power to the rear tires if the fronts slip. There is no low-range gearing; the system is designed for use on pavement in inclement weather.
Inner Space
The basics are all there. Adults fit just fine in the rear if the front-seaters cooperate; children are the main consideration for the somewhat upright second row. There are also a few hard edges in the rear pew, but overall the Escape interior is well executed in base trim, and it's definitely luxe in the higher models. Customers will enjoy the good headroom, contrast stitching and general refinement in the typical SE and SEL Escape.
The seats have a noticeable dish to their backsides, which provides good lateral support without hindering ingress or egress, or lounging on long trips.
In the SE trim we inspected there were adequate cupholders in the front and rear console or flip-down armrest, plus two 12-volt outlets, one audio input and a USB port, all in the center storage compartment. Expect powerful single-zone air conditioning in SE Escapes and dual-zone air conditioning in the SEL. Likewise, all Escapes have a small information screen far atop the dash, while the up-graded models add a navigation screen in mid-dash.
Shorter drivers mentioned that the center-stack controls felt a bit distant. However, many are repeated on the steering wheel so that's a moot complaint. And with the Escape's tall cowl, the dashboard is somewhat vertical; even tall drivers may not see the front fenders.
On the Road
Power is abundant with either of the EcoBoost 4-cylinder engines. The 2.0-liter is torquier, quieter and clearly the choice for full passenger loads and especially towing, but the 1.6-liter is quicker than expected. For general duty, the 1.6-liter in lighter FWD trim is likely the better choice. There's a touch more mechanical noise with the 1.6-liter, but nothing objectionable.
Turbo lag is nearly nonexistent and only the most mechanically inclined can sense these are 4-and not 6-cylinder engines.
For a compact SUV the rocker-switch manual gear selector works well. It requires more effort than paddle-shifting, but never gets "lost" to your fingers during tight turns requiring steering-wheel movement. It's a boon for downhill speed control, or for eliminating all lag from the turbo or excessive shifting when charging through tight, twisting roads.
The tall Escape, with its fairly firm ride, handles more like a sedan than an SUV, and coupled with the turbo power really does feel sporty.
Fuel economy is rated at 23 mpg city/33 mpg highway for the FWD 1.6-liter EcoBoost inline 4-cylinder engine, and 22/30 mpg for the 2.0-liter engine. The basic 2.5L Duratec inline-4 gets 22/31 mpg.
Right for You?
A nicely equipped SE FWD with 1.6-liter power is representative at $27,950 as we inspected it. That includes destination charge, navigation, HD radio, MyFord Touch and a 110-volt outlet.
Considering the Escape's combination of new design, excellent power, good fuel economy, generous features and widespread availability, it's definitely a must-consider compact SUV.

Jackie could not do enough for me and my family-great stylists and service-even had special offer of £30 for cut and blow dry. they do mens too. I noticed that they use Tigi products which are fab especially the shine spray-gorgeous smell. They sell ghds and fudge products-nice. Wella is another range but not so keen. They do customer loyalty scheme which is great idea. good to find an excellent salon.
I read reviews here and on Google and was really looking forward to finding a salon that sounded like they really cared about their customers but I think I must have caught them on an off day and would not go back.
The booking was easy, I got a Saturday afternoon appointment which is always a bonus, parking availability is good and I wasn't kept too long waiting before I was seen. The consultation seemed to be fine, but their stylist was dismissive of my thoughts and said that she would not cut it the way I asked as it would not turn out right.
The lady washing my hair was quite rough and her attention was obviously elsewhere as the water when from cold to hot and back to cold again. My main concern was that although the stylist although chatty she came across as arrogant and did what she wanted to my hair and when it was finished, I was pretty disappointed. It was the opposite of what I had described, dull really ageing. I came out looking older than when I went in. Im sure that she isn't really arrogant, but confident in her abilities, but when my thoughts were dismissed it just looked I should be quiet and just let her get on with it.
I should have probably challenged it there and then but I just wanted to get out and get home, I just wanted to cry and to see what I could salvage by styling it myself. I did have to visit another salon to have it re-cut.
My overall impression is one of real disappointment, obviously there are many people who love this place, but my experience did not match up. I have to be honest and give my opinion and hopefully it is taken in the spirit in which it is meant.
Hair salon in Sanderstead specialising in colour and restyling
We love social media to show off our work and we have online booking available. wi fi in the salon for your convenience.
Established in 2006.

If you are trying to stop a flea infestation if your home, you must target the carpets. This is where the majority of the fleas will be, at all stage of life. If you are only treating your pets for fleas, you are wasting your time and money. The flea infestation will continue until the carpet is treated and all eggs, larvae, and cocoons are destroyed.
Using flea sprays and powders are two of the most effective ways to treat your carpet for fleas. This article will go over everything you need to know about flea powder, including how to use it. Plus, you can read customer reviews for the best flea powder.
How Flea Killing Powders Work
Flea powders work in a couple different ways, depending on the ingredients they contain. Below we will go over the common active ingredients found in flea powder, and how they work. If you are looking for a for an all natural, non-toxic, chemical-free flea control powder, check out our article on diatomaceous earth.
Boric Acid (Borate)
Boric acid is commonly found in a variety of insect control products. It is inexpensive, odorless, and remains active for up to a year. It works in two ways. Firstly, it will disrupt digestive enzymes in the flea's stomach. Second it will absorb moisture from fleas' bodies, causing them to dehydrate and die. It starts working right away on contact, because borate salts are abrasive to insect exoskeletons. The great thing about boric acid is it does not repel insects, so the fleas will return to treated areas to die. Boric acid will also work on eggs and larvae. You should see results from boric acid in two to three weeks. The reason it takes this long is because it takes a while for the current pupae to hatch and then die. Boric acid has low toxicity, and is safe to use in homes. The only known side effects are itching of eyes, skin, and throat, and these symptoms are rare.
Pyrethrin is another common active ingredient that is used in flea powders and other control products. It can also be used as an insect repellent in lower concentrations. Pyrethrin is safe for humans and most other animals, but should not be used around cats or fish. It is an organic compound, but there are a variety of similar synthetic insecticides that are derived from it, such as permethrin. Pyrethrin and its derivatives all work by targeting insect's nervous system. Their nerves will rapidly fire repeatedly, and the end result is death. This insecticide is most effective on adult fleas.
Nylar is the trademarked pesticide pyriproxyfen. It is used in flea powders, sprays, and topical treatments for pets. It believed to be very safe for use around the home, and has no effect on people or pets. It only works on small insects. Nylar is a flea growth regulator that affects flea's hormonal responses. Essentially it stops the flea eggs from hatching, and the flea larvae from being able to pupate into adults. Thus, no new generation of adults can lay eggs and continue the infestation. Keep in mind, it does not kill adult fleas. For the infestation to end, you will have to wait for the current adult fleas to die off.
How to Use Flea Powder
To apply the flea powder, lightly sprinkle it on the carpet's surface evenly. Using a mini duster can make applying the powder much easier. The powder will sit on the surface of the carpet, and you might need to work it in deeper. In order to effectively get the powder to the bottom of the carpet, where fleas live and breed, push it in with a soft broom or brush. You may consider applying the powder at night when there is less activity around the house. Let the flea powder sit overnight, and then vacuum over the area in the morning. The vacuuming will not make it less effective, but will suck up any excess powder and dead fleas. Keep vacuuming at least once a day for two weeks after applying flea powder.
Where to Use Flea Powder
Obviously you will want to apply the flea powder to your carpets and rugs. However there are certain areas to focus on that might otherwise be ignored. Make sure you get the powder in carpet corners, under furniture, and in any other dark, undisturbed areas. Fleas like to hide in darkness, and prefer locations that are undisturbed where debris can build up. You can also use the flea powder on sofas, pet bedding, and kennels.
Best Flea Powder for Carpets
Zodiac Flea Powder
Zodiac makes a great carpet and upholstery flea powder, along with other flea control products. This powder will effectively kill all stages of the flea life cycle, including the flea eggs, flea larvae, pupae, and adult fleas. The active ingredients in uses are pyrethrin and Nylar. It also has linalool which is citrus extract that works as an insecticide, and smells great. After applying Zodiac flea powder it will continue to control re-infestations for up to 12 months. One container will treats up to 400 sq ft, so if you have large house you might want to get more than one.
Fleabusters Rx Flea Powder
Fleabusters Rx is a very popular flea control powder, and has a lot of positive customer reviews. It is an odorless, fine, patented powder that will effectively kill fleas and other pests, such as cockroaches and ants. This product is free of toxic chemicals, and is comprised mostly of borate powder. The powder is milled to be extremely fine, and then is statically charged. Since the powder is so fine it can easily penetrate deep into carpets. The static charge allows it to cling to fleas and other debris in carpets, making it more lethal.
Fleago Flea Control Powder
Fleago makes a natural, non-toxic flea control powder for carpets. Like Fleabusters Rx, it uses borate (boric acid) as its main active ingredient. Fleago powder will last up to one year in the carpet, even through constant vacuuming. It is easy to apply, and safe to use on carpets, pet bedding, and furniture. The product is made almost entirely of borate crystals, and contains no odors, dust, or toxic chemicals. The borate salts will dehydrate both adult fleas and eggs, effectively putting a stop to an infestation.

We found the hotel lobby and dining area to immaculate. We weren't able to partake, but found the relaxing cheese and wine offering to be pleasant, and the morning breakfast plentiful and tasty. The room we were in was an efficiency apartment style room which was a quite a bit more "room" than we had been expecting. A pleasant surprise. There were two downsides though. The bed was not particularly firm, and the mattress sagged in the middle so that it felt I spent most of my night sliding to the center and clawing my way back to the edge. I didn't sleep well either of the two nights we were there. Also, the tub drain plug was malfunctioning. In order to use the tub we had to dismantle the drain stopper. Despite these minor issues, both of which might not exist in a similar room elsewhere in the complex, I rate the room and hotel very highly and would gladly stay there again. Highly recommended. ...

In previous posts ("Less' isn't just more — it's omnipotent" and "Why strong design is always on Target"), I have discussed the effectiveness of focus and brevity in marketing messages.
Expressing an idea simply and succinctly makes it seem more viable and the brand more confident. It helps with the sell.
Supposedly, Winston Churchill, when prime minister, required that all proposals be presented on a half-page sheet of paper. If a proposer was unable to do this, then it implied to Churchill that the proposer wasn't clear in his own mind.
Many successful enterprises have launched from a scrap of paper. (For a few examples, see "Seven Brilliant Ideas Scribbled on Cocktail Napkins and Toilet Papers.")
Marketing exists to influence behavior, such as buying, trying, voting, donating, volunteering, applying, visiting, etc. To be successful, a compelling reason must be presented. The simpler and more clear the reason, the more effective the argument.
Our tools are limited by both time and space: a headline, a tweet, a 30-second radio or TV script, a pay-per-click ad, a billboard, an elevator speech. If we are unable to convince in one sentence, then superfluous words, images and flashy production value won't help.
For greater success with your messages:
- Focus on the single most important point.
- Choose every word with care.
- Use only necessary words.
If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water. – Ernest Hemingway

Mainline Protestants love to talk about the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. When Katherine Jefferts Schori was invested as Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church in 2006, she offered not one word about sin, forgiveness, reconciliation with God, or discipleship, but many words in support of the Millennium Development Goals. In numerous sermons and speeches since then she has lamented that all the theological controversies surrounding the Anglican world have distracted us from our real mission, which is to help realize the Millennium Development Goals. In the Archbishop of Canterbury's recent summation of the just-concluded Lambeth Conference, he writes that "The Millennium Development Goals were repeatedly stressed, and there was universal agreement that both governmental and non-governmental development agencies needed to create more effective partnerships with the churches and to help the churches increase and improve their own capacity to deliver change for the sake of justice. To further this, it was agreed that we needed a much enhanced capacity in the Communion for co-ordinated work in the field of development."
The MDGs, as we shall call them, are certainly admirable, but the problem with all this is that churches make really lousy social service agencies, and are poor vehicles for pursuing the MDGs. Churches are filled with people who know little about the challenges of economic and social development; because of all the buildings they own or rent, and the various other goods they feel they must purchase that do absolutely nothing to support the MDGs, their overhead is far too high; and they are continually distracted from the MDGs by the tasks of preaching, teaching, counseling, administering the sacraments, and so on. It is long past time for the churches to turn over the pursuit of the MDGs to people who know what they're doing and are wholly committed to the task.
So my advice to all the mainline churches that see achievement of the MDGs as the core of their mission: sell all you have and give it to the poor. Your many possessions do absolutely nothing for the MDGs: sell them. Sell the chalices. Sell the copes, surplices, and cassocks. Sell the plate. Sell the prayer books, hymnals, and (if you have any) Bibles. Sell the pews. Sell the stained glass. Sell the buildings and the land to those who actually need them. Sell it all and give the proceeds to organizations who can actually do something to achieve the Goals that you say are at the very heart of your mission. Put your money where your mouth is. Or else shut up.

I understand paying them up front to hold something for me, but not having to pay again to get my own stuff back.
We call that "taking it at both ends".
Presumably we're paying not so much for the storage but the energy/mana/etc it takes to move the items in or out of the void. I don't like it but I'm going to pay it anyways. Trophies will go into the void storage and anything that I *might* want to transmogrify will stay in my bank.
I just hope no one ever finds out how to cross-breed goblins with ethereals - they'd wind up finding a way to make us pay for the privilege of paying them for charging us money.
Storm Eagle [Planeteer | Power of Phoenix Wrights Colloquial Catch Phrase - OBJECTION! and Captain Planets Second in Command] said...
I don't think I'll be needing to use the Void Storage. I have plenty of regular bank space and bag space to carry a lot of things. Besides, as little time as I DO have to play, these new features are going to cost me more money to take advantage of than my toon brings in!
@grovin: I imagine that the most common use-case will be
1) a large number of items going into storage immediately (and a million pack-rats sigh in relief)
2) a moderate number of items being pulled back out, and put back in once transmogrification is better understood
3) a continuing trickle of items going in as new keepsakes are found.
The transaction fees seem intended to enforce the "don't view this as a bank" paradigm. And as Daedalus pointed out, the in-character rationale matches!
I'm actually glad that they decided to do this with in-game currency. What most people don't realize is that bag space, both in inventory and bank, take up huge amounts of space in their databases. Increasing that space every expansion is costing Blizzard real money to keep up with.
The short story is: Blizzard is doing more and more with the same $20 bucks per month. I'm just glad this is not going to cost real-world money.
I started to write a lot which is becoming its own blog post, which is boring for most people who probably won't read it anyway. If you are interested, please read on.
Each item you can store is specialized (made by, enchants, gems, reforging, etc) which means each item you store is a separate row(s) in Blizzard's database and cannot be shared among other characters.
Here's the numbers for the theoretical maximum they have to account for:
* Please forgive any errors, this is just a rough estimate on a rather small textbox using the latest WarcraftRealms stats which are also a rough estimate and not entirely accurate
Equipped items: 19 slots
Inventory: 16 slot backpack + 4 bag slots x (current maximum is 26) = 120
Bank: base 28 slots + 7 bag slots x 26 = 210
Bag slots (Those bag items actually take up space as well!) 4 + 7 = 11
Total per character: 360
Roughly 84 million characters x 360 bag slots = 30 billion items
That's not including the 6.1 million guilds * 98 slots * 7 tabs = 4 billion items
So the total is 34 billion items, but then again, this is not counting the AH and all the items in the mail...
If we take out the bank/guildbank slots since you don't access it constantly, it's still 143 items per character, or 12 billion items Blizzard has to track constantly. You know that time in Dalaran when you were bored, jumping around on your mammoth, and hitting the 'B' key (my shortcut to open all bags) over and over? Your immediate equipped and inventory items needs to constantly be ready to be served at high priority. Each bag increase results in a direct increase in the requirements for high priority storage access, which means more money spent on server hardware. And those things don't come cheap.
Of course there are optimization that can be done, both client and server side, but it doesn't change the fact that scaling this to 11.4 million active accounts is a nightmare.
The reason why Void Storage strips all customization from items is that then it only stores generic items, which means all it needs is an item ID and not an entire row of data. I'm guessing what they'll do is simply an 80 column row of numbers that contains item ID numbers, one row per character. The high cost(in in-game gold) will guarantee a smaller number of characters that have this feature. A single point of access (Stormwind or Orgrimmar) will guarantee that only a limited amount of people can access this at any given time. This decreases the amount and priority of the data storage hardware, which decreases real world cost to Blizzard. However, this is still an increase over not having this feature at all.
At the end of the day, Blizzard is in the business of making money. Just the fact that they are willing to do more with the same amount of money is definitely fine in my books.
You say it costs blizzard more but sometimes gold sinks are needed, if players transfer between themselves then its easier for gold farmer to get their chinese hands on
If money is disappearing from the game, there is no one to get the money
and with the news about farmers using money for nukes i say good on you blizz! haha
Actually, considering all they are likely using is an item ID, and you only ever deal with the void storage as a whole, from. DB perspective it would be better to store all 80 items in a single column as some sort of list. You always either need ALL the items to view it, or you're doing a bulk item transaction at a time. Yes, it breaks all sorts of data separation paradigms, but it would be efficient.
LeftVentricle said...
Blizz is probably hoping that this will remove some gold from the economy thereby bring inflation down a little. I don't think it's gonna make too much of an impact, but on rp servers it might stabilize stuff.

In Precinct three, voters can choose between Republican Frank Gutierrez and Democratic Gilbert Flores. Tuesday afternoon, NewsChannel 11 caught up with the candidates as they made last efforts for votes.
"A combination of both at the polls, block walking what have you. But mainly it's been visible at the polls," said Frank Gutierrez.
"Put out our literature our propaganda all over the polling areas actually in precincts there and we've been hitting it hard," said Gilbert Flores.
Both tell us they will continue to campaign until the polls close.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY - Children have held the market on curiosity for generations, but a NASA rover on Mars is looking to take that spot.
On Aug. 6 at 10:30 a.m., the Indian River County Main Library and the Treasure Coast Astronomical Society will present "Curious about Curiosity: A Celebration of Mars Exploration." The event will take place at the Richardson Center on Indian River State College's Mueller campus in Vero Beach.
Throughout the summer, the children's department of the library has offered the Florida Library Youth Program to area elementary-age students, which includes a science-focused curriculum on Mars and space exploration.
The day will be particularly auspicious because it is the morning NASA's Curiosity rover is scheduled to land on the surface of Mars after an eight month journey from Earth, said Patti Fuchs, children's librarian and event coordinator.
"The point is to get the next generation excited about space travel and space exploration, particularly inter-planetary travel," Ms. Fuchs said.
The entire community is welcome to come to the free event at the Richardson Center, she said.
The Treasure Coast Astronomical Society will be providing two types of solar telescopes for participants to use during the event, as well as sharing a presentation about space exploration, Ms. Fuchs said.
Lee Tinker, outreach coordinator for the society, said his organization often educates the public on space topics.
He said their members are all volunteers and amateur astronomists, ranging from college students to retirees.
The solarscopes will allow people to view the sun, sunspots and other solar activity without causing any harm to the human eye because it blocks out the harmful sections of the electromagnetic spectrum, Mr. Tinker said.
The Curiosity is the largest rover ever sent to the surface of Mars, about comparable to the size of a compact car, Ms. Fuchs said.
For 23 months, it will explore the surface of Mars gathering samples drilled from rocks or scooped from the ground and analyzing data from the specimens, a NASA fact sheet said.
The overall mission is to learn if Mars has ever had, or still has, environmental conditions favorable for habitation by microbial life.
The Curiosity, like other Martian rovers, will search for evidence of water on the planet's surface, Ms. Fuchs said.
When the rover lands on Mars, it will have to go from moving at speeds of about 13,000 miles per hour to zero miles per hour in 7 minutes.
The NASA website has multimedia outlining how the process should work once the rover is in the Martian atmosphere.
"It's unreal," Ms. Fuchs said.
During the event, children participating will share what they have learned and attendees will be invited to work on space-themed crafts, she said.
Should NASA have video feeds of the rover, those clips would also be shared with event participants, Ms. Fuchs said.

James Toseland is unhappy after the first day at Valencia
By Matthwe Birt -
24 October 2008 16:01
British rider James Toseland admitted he was bitterly unhappy as he kicked off the Valencia GP - the final race of his rookie premier class campaign - down in 16th place.
The Tech 3 Yamaha rider was 11th in this morning's torrential rain but slipped down to 16th overall at the end of the opening day of free practice run on a treacherously slippery track.
Toseland clocked a best time of 1.48.771 and he said he needed to make significant steps with rear grip.
The 28-year-old said: ""It was a tough day and we've got to find something to improve because the forecasts are for more rain tomorrow, and I need to find a bit more from the bike.
"I just didn't have a very good feeling and I'm not happy, but I've got some ideas. In those greasy conditions I just haven't got enough feel from the rear and we need to find a lot more contact with the rear tyre. It feels a bit like riding around on eggshells at the moment. I'm not too far away but I've definitely got to make a step with the direction I think will work.
"I just need more weight on the rear to give me more confidence. This track is always tricky in the wet. When it is heavy rain, everybody has a respect for the place because they know how easy it is to get caught out. But when it is drying out it doesn't give more grip, even though there is less water on the surface.
"People get sucked into thinking they can go faster and you don't get any warning before you get a big slide. This wasn't the start I wanted with tenth place in the championship to battle for on Sunday, but I'm confident we can make some big improvements."

Loving the Competition
Here's a little coupon trick to save you loads of cash!
Recession Mama: Between school projects and looking for fun activities to do at home, I find myself at Jo-Ann Fabrics or Michaels pretty often. I really only like to buy from them with a coupon, and I signed up for the Jo-Ann mailer to get those good 40%- or 50%-off coupons mailed to the house. I would also scour the paper for similar Michaels coupons.
Recently, I found that both stores have printable coupons available online. One of my favorite sites for the printables can be found here. Or you can just Google the store name with the words "printable coupon." Fantastic -- now I always have a coupon, and can print another after I use the first one. I also found both stores accept competitor's coupons, so I can use both coupons at both stores, provided it is for a type of item carried at the other store. Here's the best part: I can use them both at the same time, because they are different! A Michaels manager told me if I have one of the coupons that print out from their register after a purchase, I can use that at the same time, too. That would mean up to three items at 40 to 50% off, which I think is phenomenal.
This discovery inspired me to ask around about competitor's coupons. PetSmart and PETCO take each other's coupons. So do Bed Bath & Beyond and Linens 'n Things. Bed Bath & Beyond will also take their own expired coupons. If you haven't done it before, it is worth a call to the store manager to verify the policy before you set out. If the manager seems unsure, you can verify the policy with another location or corporate headquarters and ask them to bring your local store up to date. Most car washes and dry cleaners will also take competitor's coupons, so you can get a deal and still stay local, saving gas at the same time ...
A former state deputy attorney general and current stay-at-home mom, Recession Mama Michele Ashamalla has three kids and ten years of experience stretching one salary to cover the necessities and more. She's all about saving money whenever you can, so you have it to spend on whatever you want!
This is a great article. I often use multiple expired coupons at Bed Bath and Beyond. I found out a while ago that if for example you have say 10 items and you have 10 coupons they will use a coupon for each item. ( at least that's what my local BB&B does)
Mm struggling to choose between fresh mango juice or fresh watermelon juice
I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on this.
Not sure if my settings are somehow jacked up or if it is something wrong with the site, but the header is "x"'d out for me. I've reloaded a few times and still the same thing. Just thought I'd let you know.
naturally like your web site but you need to test the spelling on several of your posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very troublesome to tell the reality however I will surely come back again.
Normally I do not read article on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very forced me to take a look at and do it! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thanks, very great article.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
It was glossed over in the article, but the "remnant human forces" that the article mentions were actually members of the Alliance under Grand Marshal Garithos. Putting aside that Garithos was a racist douche, Sylvanas entered into an agreement with him that she would help him retake Capital City and then turn it over to him...though she admitted to Varimathras that she had no intention of keeping that promise. After the city was retaken, she had Garithos and his men killed and fed them to ghouls.
So, ya'know, betrayal and murder...Sylvanas kinda picked a fight with the Alliance as one of her first official acts as despot of the Forsaken.

RIDGEWAY, Va. (AP) - Henry County's prosecutor has requested an investigation of animal cruelty allegations following an accident involving a truck hauling turkeys.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says witnesses reported seeing workers jump on live turkeys and throw birds against the side of the truck after it overturned on U.S. 220 on June 14.
PETA also says turkeys were left in the truck in hot weather for hours after the wreck.
The group made the allegations in a letter sent to Commonwealth's Attorney Bob Bushnell.
Bushnell said that he asked the Virginia State Police to investigate after he received PETA's letter Tuesday.
Bushnell says he wants the investigation to determine whether there's evidence of "gratuitous cruelty."

I thought that maybe I should list some alternatives for the impossible object lesson. These are designed to go with the Sunday School lesson on Israelites crossing the Red Sea.
For some, the ice trick might be a little scary. It seems too impossible to work, doesn't it? Well, here is the science concept behind the idea:
If you are afraid to try the actual experiment yourself, you could just play this YouTube video. The problem is that of course this person never explains how this relates to the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. So, of course you will need to add that part in yourself.
Here's another idea. Eggs in salt water will float. But, eggs in fresh water will not float. It would be fun to let one or more of the students try to make an egg float in a glass of water. Make sure they try enough times so that the entire class agrees it is impossible to make an egg float in water. Then, use your own glass of salt water to make an egg float. Use this to talk about how God did what seemed impossible to the Israelites when he moved the water of the Red Sea so they could cross.
Here's one more impossible object lesson you could use. Everyone knows you can't stick something sharp in a balloon without it popping, right?
And, finally, make things float in the air without you touching them.
These great ideas should give you some options if the ice trick is a little too scary for you to attempt. Also, remember that you could always show the actual YouTube video, if you really aren't comfortable with doing it yourself. Personally, I'm a little afraid that all the chatter in the video will distract from the meaning, but you should make your own decisions for your classroom.
Let me know what you think. Do you know of any other "impossible" object lessons?

Jeff Foxworthy, the hugely popular Alpharetta-based comic, had so much success with "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" that he has latched onto another game show: GSN's "The American Bible Challenge."
The pilot will shoot in Los Angeles next week. GSN is not a big network so the fact it's committing money to even shoot a pilot means the odds are very good it will become a series.
According to the press release, "The American Bible Challenge" will pit contestants on their knowledge of the Bible. Each team will be playing for a "worthy faith-based organization." In other words, it's for charity.
Foxworthy himself couldn't be reached for comment but provided this note in the release:
"I am excited to be hosting a show about the bestselling book of all time. It will be interesting to find out what people really know, and an opportunity to present the Bible in a fun and entertaining way."
The production company, RelativityREAL, also produces "Police Women" for TLC, "Coming Home" for Lifetime, and "The Great Food Truck Race" for Food Network, among others.
Foxworthy's "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" opened with huge numbers on Fox in 2007 and ran for three seasons. It then went to syndication for two seasons from 2009 through last year.

Cool idea if it works. It's would be nice to see what people know about the most significant and helpful book in Western Civilization. Most people these days live like they've never read it.

"…hugely popular…" ???? Foxworthy's hick schtick is so stale that the last Blue Collar cable show I saw couldn't even get laughs from its audience of presumed fans. And a Bible show is the best he can do? Way past the expiration date.

If he does this show, he just killed his numbers. Now that he's big bank I guess it don't matter.He just killed a lot of future oppurtunities. Religion is too divisive for a redneck comic. If I you put your personal religious views out their regularly people start looking at you from another perspective. The buffonish things people let him get away with before will be scrutinized in a light that is not funny. I can't understand why he would do such a show. Everybody don't need to know how he feels about this topic.

Hats off to the producers and Foxworthy for sticking their neck outs and doing something for the good side. Let trust that they won't take the word out of context and can make it entertaining. There are lots of humorous and thought provoking stories. What about the bald guy that was being teased by teenagers and he called for some Bears to come get them. Moral…don't tease the bald guy.
Could be entertaining to some of us and could be educational for those too lazy or afraid to read.
Could be the only time in someones life they ever hear a word. Lets go ahead and watch it. Are you people afraid you might hear something that offends you? Poor baby.
There are way too many shows that lead people to believe a life of bad choices is ok and so what if they have no morals. "I'm a victim" and "Everybody is doing it." This is just the easy way out of personal responsibility.
BUT, If the show is poorly produced or not entertaining, I will turn the channel just like you.

And before you act all crazy… Who wrote the bible? Man. It's been translated 1,000 times written by man. Really? Noah's arc? Come on. This show needs to fail. People who watch this show fail at life.

In an early article about his land in South Georgia, Foxworth said he is pondering other TV projects. "People call me wanting to do shows," he said. "Most are stupid. So I'm holding out."
So this is what he was holding out for? So sad.
March 21st, 2012
11:18 pm
Hey, Republican. Seriously? The Bible and Harry Potter? The fact that you bothered to click to the article, and then read it, and THEN comment on it- conveys something entirely different than what you've said. I do hope you find peace. Now that's serious. And it's ark.

Finally, a show for Christians to show how much they don't know about their own religion.
March 22nd, 2012
3:47 am
tbone, quite true. Many non-believers know more about the bible than people who supposedly believe all of it. This show could end up being an utter train wreck and/or boring.
March 22nd, 2012
6:50 am
Republican and other bible deniers – The Bible is the most documented book in antiquity. In is the most reliable collection of historical documents from anyhere near that period of time with over 6000 complete manuscripts and 25000 partial manuscripts of the new testament alone. The Bible was written by over 40 authors who were inspired by God, in three languages and on three different contentents all telling the same story of God's redemption and love.. We have manuscripts dating back to 25 years after the original, meaning that it was written in the lifetime of eyewitnesses which record supernatural events such as water into wine, rasing of the dead and Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection whe he appeared to over 500 men.( women and children were not included in the count) which no one could explain away. But to top it all off the disiples and early church fathers were killed becuase of their faith and faithfull following of the risen Lord. If they did not truly believe that Jesus was who He said He was and they did not see Him raised to life then they would have continued their life back where they left it when Jesus called them to follow Him. I would implore you to seek truth and believe. And yes the bible has been translated thousands of times. The only problem with that argument is that it is translated from the original texts every time and not translated from a different translation.
March 22nd, 2012
8:01 am
First off, well said Matt. That was awesome.
To my "Republicans are Stupid" friend: just ask yourself one question….Does God exist? Your answer to that question will determine the ability to believe that God could enable imperfect human beings to write what He wanted them to write.
Sure Noah's "arc" seems implausible. But with an omnipotent God, all things are possible.
March 22nd, 2012
8:19 am
Which version will they use?
It'll be interesting, no doubt some Christian group(s) will be put out. The problem is, everyone thinks their particular denomination is the correct one, so if questions and answers don't conform to their specific beliefs, there will be an outcry.
I do always find it a bit funny that so many Christians are always saying how people need the Bible, when Christians can't even agree on who/what makes a Christian.
March 22nd, 2012

Forget being smarter than a 5th-grader: you'd have to be in 5th-grade to find this show the least bit interesting.

Matt, you have no idea what you're talking about. Ask some REAL biblical scholars. Even most ministers who go through seminary know better than this. When you look at the real history of the Bible (by the way, the Bible is not a history nor chronology), you immediately realize that it's a hodge podge of writings put together for a particular purpose. It is neither inerrant nor authentic. If you look at it in its size and scope, the Bible says relatively very little about Jesus the Christ, yet the Christian faith is based on him.
March 22nd, 2012
11:35 am
First to all the brothers in the faith… Ephiasians 4:4 there is One God. 1 Corinthians 1:10-17 we should be in agreement and have no divisions among us. Do not put down other Christian denominations because they worship or emphasize different teachings of Christ but work together to come to a better understanding of the One wh can and does save.
Second: Wise One… On what authority do you say I do nont know what I am talking about. The bible was not written as a history or a chronology and at should be widely understood. But the Bible records history from the period of it happening. There are many books and letters that do I fact set out to record history and even geniologies. The old testament of the bible records with specificity the history of the Jewish race including the beginnings of the race and the prophesies pointing to Jesus. These writings/ prophesies are documented and historically backed by non-religious sources, all of the prophesies pointing to the coming messiah were penned at least 430 years before the birth of Christ and give locations and specific events pointing to the birth, life, works, betraying of Jesus, His death and resurrection. The new testament is a compilation of 27 writings written about the works and teachings of Jesus written by different authors to differing groups of people but remarkably tell the same story which most of them died for. The Bible yells Jesus in every page. It is completely authentic and inerrant.
I would advise you not to
Ostensibly to me, "ministers who have attended seminary " or even "real biblical scholars" but reasurch it for yourself and see what you find.
Two other points:
look at Julius Caesar in Gallic Wars. There are 10 ancient manuscripts which date 900 years after the original was penned. 900 years! Yet we believe everything we read about Julius Caeser. That is like me paying someone ( and threatening them with death) to write about my life and making sure it puts me in the best light. And then 900 years later someone buries a copy and the people living 700 years later find it and translate it and publish it in a book. Then 400 years later you read it in high school and the teacher tells you it is the truth.
Believig the bible can't be trusted because it is written by men is like telling your math teacher that the Pythagorean theorem can't be trusted because it was written by a man and put in a math book compiled by man. If that were the case then we should all not believe anything we have ever read because it was written by man.
March 22nd, 2012
11:43 am
Sorry for all the typos on the last post. it is hard to type on an iPad sometimes:)
The advise was to not listen to me, ministers or scholars but to research it for yourself. God has a plan for your life. See what it is. Then at least you will have only yourself to blame if you reject Him.
March 22nd, 2012
11:47 am
Mercy, why just call out the Republicans, the Bible is for everyone. Most could try an read the manuscript on an air condition, this does not stop people from getting plugged in and flipping a switch. Sometimes there are problems. It is worth the effort.

Our Element is Communication
When five partners set out in 2000 to develop a company to serve businesses' needs for customized, unified, voice, data and video communications, they wanted the company to have a name that was as unique as the corporate vision.
So what's the story behind the Cerium Networks name?
One of our original employees had a scientific background and pitched the partners with the idea to name the company Cerium Networks.
Cerium is a silvery, ductile metal and is the most abundant of the rare earth elements. It is found in a number of minerals and is commercially used as a catalyst to reduce CO2 emissions in motor vehicles and is an essential component of phosphors used in the manufacture of fluorescent lamps and TV screens.
The chemical symbol for Cerium is Ce and its atomic weight is 58.
The name Cerium Networks was intriguing, as the company was founded by five partners and started business with eight employees. Cerium's atomic weight of 58 was a symbolic numerical match.
Cerium is a malleable and adaptable metal. Its silvery-white color sparkles in the light. And it is elemental in the structure and formation of the earth.
We feel that Cerium Networks shares these characteristics. As a technical communications company, we provide adaptable solutions to the unified communication needs of our customers. Our service "sparkles" and we believe that the solutions we provide are elemental to achieving business success.
The traits inherent in Cerium are a symbolic representation of the vision and solutions provided by Cerium Networks.
And that is why at Cerium Networks, our element is communication.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Volunteers tracking the fall migration of bald eagles at Hanging Rock Raptor Observatory have counted a record number of the majestic birds.
Since early August, 195 bald eagles have been seen by volunteers who perch atop Peters Mountain in Monroe County. They use a former U.S. Forest Service fire tower at the crest of the 3,812-foot peak in the Jefferson National Forest.
The Charleston Gazette (http://bit.ly/I6h8z1) reports that the previous record for bald eagles seen from Hanging Rock was 137. That number was reached in 2010.
Hanging Rock has been the site of annual raptor migration counts by West Virginia birders since 1952.
Expected to continue for two more weeks, this year's census also could produce a record number of golden eagle sightings.

28 May 2014
Last week The Lawyer revealed that South East firm Thomas Eggar Church Adams was considering axing its training scheme. The firm had been investing thousands of pounds in training its future lawyers only to have them lured away by the bright lights and the big pay packets of the City.
Training is an expensive business. Brighton firm Donne Mileham & Haddock estimates costs of around £80,000 per trainee per year and it does not even offer law school funding as many firms, even in the regions, do.
Retention of newly qualified lawyers is, therefore, essential. However, a source at Thomas Eggar says that although the more senior lawyers are happy to stay in the provinces because they are settled and have families, newly qualified solicitors without commitments are more mobile and see their future elsewhere.
The attractions are obvious. Pay differentials can be as much as 100 per cent and regional firms simply cannot compete with that.
Thomas Eggar is not the only firm to have considered dropping its training scheme. Shakespeares managing partner Andrew Argyle says his firm has undertaken several reviews of its training system.
"Lawyers are increasingly expensive to train," he says, adding that newly qualified lawyers have sometimes left the firm for the City. He stresses, however, that Shakespeares will not be dropping its training programme.
This year the firm is taking on three out of four of its trainees. According to Argyle, there is a growing number of partners who trained with the firm and he says it is important to remember a practice's overall responsibility to the profession.
However, some of the regional practices contacted by The Lawyer stress that they are not suffering in the same way as Thomas Eggar.
If anything, they say, the flow is the other way.
"We rely on ex-City people quite substantially for more senior positions," says Cambridge-based firm Hewitson Becke & Shaw's managing partner Alan Brett. And Bristol firm Burges Salmon last year recruited three newly qualified lawyers from leading City firms.
All the firms contacted are at great pains to stress that they invest heavily in producing high-quality training to make sure they retain their trainees on qualification and that it is probably Thomas Eggar which is at fault for the losses it has suffered.
"It may well be that they [Thomas Eggar] haven't expanded their operation as much as the newly qualifieds would like," says Paul Rippon, training principal and partner at Morgan Cole.
Other regional training principals offer more damning explanations for the firm's plight.
"They're probably not paying them enough," says one, while another goes as far as to say: "They should take a good look at themselves and the training they are offering."
City firms have also responded with surprise at Thomas Eggar's predicament.
One asserts that a lawyer who trains in the regions is unlikely to be good enough to find employment in a top 10 firm.
Fiona Bennett, a recruitment consultant in private practice at ZMB, says those who fail to secure a training contract at a top City firm on the strength of their academic record are unlikely to be more successful second time around.
Director of recruitment consultants QD legal Adrian Fox says Thomas Eggar is not the only firm losing trainees to the City, claiming it is a widespread phenomenon.
At that very moment he was signing off an application from a newly qualified solicitor from the regions, to a medium-sized and respected City firm.
Fox is adamant that regional training does not preclude a newly qualified lawyer moving to a top 10 firm.
"It is definitely not a bar at all, provided they have good, relevant experience," he says. "At this moment in time it is a reasonably healthy market for newly-qualifieds."
Trainees must ensure they gain the necessary transferable skills during their training. If they have the academic ability and the right character there is nothing to prevent a move to a leading City firm.
Nigel Savage, the College of Law's chief executive, says: "Maybe there is something wrong with their selection. Firms like that [Thomas Eggar] must look at the recruitment stage. Go back to basics. Find a good A-level student in the local comprehensive and fund them through law school. Recruit out of the community."
This is exactly what Shakespeares has sought to do, recruiting from the Birmingham universities, resulting in a high proportion of the firm's staff, including its senior partner, being locals.
Some people specifically choose to go to the regions because of the type of training on offer. "The bigger firms tend to have better formal training programmes but trainees and newly qualifieds don't get the same kind of hands-on experience opportunities as you do at a medium-sized firm," says Richard Moorehead, chair of the Young Solicitors Group.
Firms such as Linklaters also tend to offer an increasingly specialist training programme. Trainees can find themselves experts in euro bonds on qualification, a situation which makes them more profitable for the firm at a much earlier stage but ties them to that firm, or at least to that area of practice.
There is also the wider issue of whether this type of training makes the best kind of lawyer or if broader-based training is more suitable. Lovell White Durrant is one City firm that has retained broader-based training more in keeping with regional and medium-sized practices.
Many claim that the problem could be caused by newly qualified lawyers now being in an increasingly powerful position. "There are simply not enough lawyers to go around," says Savage.
This has not been the perception for a number of years.
"It doesn't help that some at the Law Society are saying there are too many lawyers," adds Savage.
One of the reasons for the dearth of young lawyers is that the relative boom in the economy has presented more attractive opportunities in fields other than the law.
The principal problem, though, is the drop-out rate from law school.
"Law faculties are full of law students but only 30 or 40 per cent go into practice, which means we are losing 60 per cent. Where are they going?" asks Savage.
Regionally trained lawyers wishing to move to the City have an especially good chance if they have expertise in certain areas of practice.
"The City firms currently have problems recruiting in construction, tax, pensions and property, forcing firms to think more laterally," says Bennett.
But the City will always be irresistible to the majority of prospective trainees.
"Most people go to the biggest and the best because of the implication for their cv, the kudos, and there is an element of 'I did what my mates did'," says Bennett.
Regional practices wanting to retain their newly qualified solicitors must look closely at their potential recruits and consider not simply whether the candidates have the quality to be future partners but whether they are likely to want to become partners in the firm.
Not only are regional firms raising their profile and the quality of their work and clients, the training packages on offer are also improving.
However, regional firms do not need to panic, after all there is no shortage of two-to-four-year qualifieds moving away from the City, deciding the quality of life on offer in the provinces is extremely attractive.
