The most awkward season premier award goes to......Will and Grace, hands down. This "live" episode was one Will and Grace like none before, and hopefully none to follow.
The show started with a shot of the studio audience. The camera then panned over to a black curtain on which was written in white, what else but, "Will and Grace." When the curtain was raised, the familiar apartment set was revealed, and the camera zoomed in on Grace talking on the phone.
The whole episode looked visually like a soap opera. Despite the beauty of the Hi Definition signal, it looked low-budget and unprofessional, and the actors couldn't keep character at all. Not only did they keep smirking and laughing, but their rhythm and timing was totally off. They kept speaking either too fast or too slow, and often looked around awkwardly while straining to remember lines.
That said, I have to admit, the flaws and character breaks actually made the episode more interesting. And I for one, could not turn it off. I can also vouch for the fact that it is pretty true to the experience of seeing a sitcom episode shot live in person (I used to intern for a friendly neighbor of theirs), except when you are there, you have to see them do it multiple times, and not always in the show's order. The end of this episode of Will and Grace, like live sitcom tapings, was marked by the actors' names being announced and them coming out to take bows, which I also found strange to see on TV.
Technically, this show was a mess. The lighting was harsh, the sound levels were off... But, I'm still glad I tuned in. As uncomfortable as it made me feel when they broke the fourth wall, it felt kind of exciting like a reality show, and I wanted to see what was going to happen next. Did anyone else tune in?

Workplace etiquette
I think workplace etiquette should dictate the following...
1. Singing or humming jingles that get stuck in your head, or catchy TV show theme songs, is not only NOT cute or funny, but annoying and disruptive... especially when you are sitting within a five foot radius of another person.
I swear that I have had the Odd Couple theme song and Mr. Ed in my head for about three months straight, thanks to my desk neighbor. Seriously. He's a really nice guy, but puh-lease... Yesterday, it took me about 20 minutes to count and log-in 373 photo chromes, all because I could think of nothing else except McD's: ba-da-ba ba ba, I'm lovin' it.
But... I'm not lovin' it. Not lovin' it at all.
2. Learn to whistle in environments other than the workplace, especially when the noise coming out sounds like the ss-ss-ssssizzle from a teakettle that is getting ready to screech, because inevitably my head starts feeling like a kettle building towards a screech. And trust me, nobody wants to hear me screech.
3. The office should be a vibrate only zone. Save the unique cell phone rings for elsewhere. It is hard to sound professional on a call when Britney Spears bursts on in the background, or the Waltz that plays ten times a day when desk neighbor's high-maintenance GF calls... OR the strangest one around here, a voice saying "YOU have a call. YOU have a call."
4. If you are bored and decide to play video games, please turn off the sound. PING, THWAP, WAMM one more time... and I'll PING, THWAP, WAMM you.
5. If your nose is running, please find a tissue, or excuse yourself to the restroom to plug your sneeze hole.
6. The newest addition to the list... Please refrain from making microwavable popcorn and walking around with the bag so that the smell fills every crevice of the office. Especially when you know that the person sitting next to you is fasting because she has to go get her blood taken at the doctor's (which also means NO COFFEE). Grrrrr.
So, that's my list. I'm sure I do plenty of things that annoy as well, but lucky for me, I don't have to sit next to myself. Maybe one day I will have my own office, but for now I'll settle for a good vent-fest every once in a while. Anyone else need to vent?

Smell my hands...What is it about that pink soap in public bathrooms that smells so nasty?
And not just for a few minutes... I can smell that harsh scent on my skin for the rest of the day. And the packaging claims that it is a floral aroma!? Yeah, right. If by floral they mean metallic, then yes, it smells floral.
And what I find even more disturbing, is that it is not only intended for use on hands, but according to some labels, dishes and clothes as well. What could possibly be in this opaque pink liquid that could get both my hands and my intimates clean?
I wonder if the makers of this soap get excited about their pink liquid soap? Evidently they do, because one brand claims that theirs is a "luxurious, thick bodied cleanser that lathers quickly and easily to penetrate and remove a wide range of mild to heavy industrial soil." Sounds to me like that was written by someone who really appreciates their pink liquid soap.
I'm a Purell girl myself. Can't get enough of the hand sanitizer. I keep one in my desk at work and often a small one in my purse. At home, I stick with Softsoap antibacterial clear liquid soap. Truth is, I'm a sucker for a cute soap dispenser with ladybugs or geckos...
As long as it's not pink. Any color, except pink.

Mack the knifeI grew up in the 'burbs. Not on one of those blocks where all the kids gathered in the street to play ball or splash in the neighbor's paddling pool, I lived on a street with no other children, where I didn't even know my neighbors. Tall trees separated the houses, and I never knew that ice cream trucks really existed.
But they did exist. My beau lived on an ice cream truck street. His block was not only frequented by the ice cream truck, but also by the knife sharpening truck. Until he informed me of this, I had never heard of such a thing. It doesn't sound like it goes... Remember the old days of milk trucks, ice cream trucks, and knife sharpening trucks? But, it's true. Knife sharpening trucks didn't play children's songs like ice cream trucks (now that would be very creepy), but there was a bell that would ring, and upon hearing that familiar sound, women would appear through the doorways and gather with their dull knives.
Sounds a bit like a scene out of Desperate Housewives to me.
I do like the idea of services coming to my door in trucks though. I have seen a dog grooming truck in front of our building. I wish they had a salon truck like that for people. Folks could hear the truck's bell or song and come rushing over for a mani/pedi, a massage, a hair cut... Or everything at once. Right outside your door.
Or how about a sex shop truck? Play a few notes of that cheesy 70s porn music through the megaphone, and everyone would crowd around to check out the merchandise. I'm telling you, this truck thing could be a hot new-old fad. What truck would you want frequenting your block?

Reveal the goddess in youI have an announcement to make... after years of using standard disposable razors, I have just entered the world of the Venus.
I used to think that spending $7 on a razor was silly when I could spend a few bucks and get a whole bag of razors. Boy oh boy, was I mistaken. The Venus by Gillette for Women has a pivoting rounded head with three blades surrounded by soft protective cushions. One of the protective strips even has Aloe and Vitamin E, and the blue color fades when you should switch the blade.
My previous method of determining the life of a razor, was to leave it sitting in the shower for months and months until it got overwhelmingly rusty, and then a few weeks later, possibly get rid of it. I know, gross. But, those days are gone, I tell you. Gone indeed, thanks to my Venus.
I never knew I could feel so smooth and sexy, just from a good shave.
Between the new scale , the new showerhead, and now the new Venus... I don't know if I'll ever want to leave my bathroom.

Remove before wearing or washingOn the subway ride home from work yesterday, I was sitting with my new sweater on my lap, listening to music, when something struck me as disturbing...
I noticed a small clear circle on the sweater, about a centimeter radius, with the letter "L" printed in black in the middle. That's right, a sticker was stuck to the the sweater I had been wearing the entire day, announcing to the world that I wear a size Large. And I bought that size specifically to layer over my regular clothes because I work in an ice-box known as a high rise, but that's beside the point. I can't believe no one told me. At work. Nothing. At Kabbalah class. Nothing. And we were talking all about sharing in class. And yet nobody thought to share with me the fact that I had a sticker on my chest?!
And then, I made the second disturbing discovery...
A thick tag sewn into the inside of the sweater that said: REMOVE BEFORE WEARING OR WASHING.
I have to admit, it freaked me out a bit. Since I had been wearing the sweater all day, I began to wonder...
What is inside the mysterious tag?
Why was it sewn on the sweater in the first place?
And why is it so important that I remove it before wearing or washing?
Needless to say, I am not wearing that sweater today.

Roses really smell like poo oooh ooohI have something to admit... I secretly dislike red roses.
It's true. I find them to be rather boring. Don't get me wrong, the romantic thought behind them being given as a gift is incredibly sweet and priceless, so I greatly appreciate them for that reason. But truthfully, I find red roses in general to be trite, unoriginal, and way too expensive (for those good velvety roses).
I just think that if someone is going to spend 70, 100, 200... dollars on a gift, I'd rather get some cute earrings or something that I can hang onto for a while, and won't die without me tending to it. I mean, you could get diamonds cheaper than some red rose bouquets!
If you have to go with flowers, I would opt for something catered to the recipient, like lavender for someone who loves France. Also for any occasion (or no occasion at all), I don't think you can go wrong with a simple, sexy, and always sophisticated all-white bouquet including lilies (pretty much anything white except carnations or "baby's breath"), or perhaps a fun and racy brightly colored arrangement of exotic and unique flowers. Or even, dare I say, a plant... Something that won't die right away.
A few months ago, when my mother came over and saw a huge display of 2 dozen dead roses in a vase on my table, she asked if I had been changing the water everyday. What? I was shocked. I'm supposed to do daily chores to keep my present looking good? That's so not going to happen. It's just not worth it to me. And then I end up keeping freaky looking dead flowers around that look like something out of a Tim Burton movie.
What can I say? I probably sound like an unappreciative bitch, but I'm just laying it out there for you. I love the sentiment, but roses just don't do it for me... Am I alone in this feeling?

For pickles and gigglesSometimes when I am having a rough day at work, like today, I head across the street to the Hello Deli, for lunch and a laugh.
Walking into this particular establishment is like walking into a large closet, filled with boxes and a variety of characters. The funny thing is that people travel long distances just to come to this "deli," and have their picture taken with the man behind the counter, Rupert. Why? You may be asking... Because he and his Hello Deli are frequently featured on the TV show of their neighbor, David Letterman.
Evidently, this makes him a real bona fide celebrity these days! Seriously, people get giddy around him, and have difficulty speaking, like he's Brad Pitt (or fill in the A-list celebrity of your choice). In shy squeaky voices, they ask if they can get a picture with him. And I, as a kind bystander, ask if they want me to take it for them so they can both be in the photo. So I use my professional photographic skills to snap one with their disposable. Rupert even has his own merchandise, including caps and shirts with his face, which he signs with a big black sharpie. The whole scene is very amusing.
Truth is, I think it would take a lot for me to be star struck. A lot being, Angelina Jolie(who my coworker spotted down the street from where I work a few weeks ago with her babies). I think she's about it at the moment. Between my experiences working on a TV show, and for a talent agency, I had to get over that really fast. But, do really all that many people think Rupert is autograph worthy? Obviously they do. This hasn't happened just once or twice, but at least 10 times. Every time I walk into the place. He says it's nonstop. It cracks me up.
Then, I take my chicken salad on wheat, and return to my regularly scheduled day.

It's All InsideMy weekly Weight Watchers meetings are held in an interesting location... the employee room of a JC Penney store. I do not usually frequent JC Penney. In fact, the last time I was in one was probably when I was 14 and I was a model for a "back to school" fashion show, for which I was forced to wear one of the more hideous outfits of my life. Tapered black Silk pants, and a pink baby tee with a big flower on it. Yikes!
But today as I walked across the store, I really took a moment to look around. The commercials say "it's all inside." But, I wondered, what is the "it" to which they are referring?
First, after walking past a few brightly colored 1/2 sized beds, I entered the main part of the store, and was struck by an overwhelming urge to sing. Not just to sing, but to belt out Tis the season to be joll... WHA??? I did a double take... It was Christmas, in September! And not just a small display, but 4 huge trees, 3 life sized wooden nutcrackers, 1/2 of a life sized Santa (the upper half), stockings, ornaments, wreaths, the whole nine yards. This year went fast, but not that fast! Seriously, when did it get to be the holiday season? What happened to Halloween? Thanksgiving? Anyone?
The next thing I noticed, was a huge display of "As seen on TV" items, including the Ab Lounge 2, the Next Grilleration George Foreman, the Laser Straight, and the Smart Spin: Just slide, spin, and store! The thing that got me was, if you saw it on TV and just had to have it, wouldn't you buy it off the TV? Or do most people think, I'm going to have to run to JC Penney to buy that. Of course they will have it, because it's all inside there.
I wanted to keep perusing, but I didn't want to be late for my meeting, especially because I knew I was going to get my 5 pound bookmark (I don't get it either). So, I never got the chance to figure out what the "it" really is... Any ideas?

Maggie Moo versus the Skinny CowWhen I went to the mall the other day to see the very funny movie "40 Year Old Virgin," I ran into none other than Miss Maggie Moo the cow herself, right outside Maggie Moo's Ice Cream and Treatery. She looked pretty much as she does in this picture, but in a mall. Cute... Don't you think?
Wow, I thought, that's a skinny cow... not THE Skinny Cow, but a skinny cow. So, there must be some lo-fat, non-fat, or no sugar added options, right? Wrong... To my surprise, there was none of that. Only fatty fat options.
Like with Cold Stone Creamery, Maggie Moo's customers can choose from mix-ins like cookie dough or Oreos which the servers then fold into the ice cream. But, at least Cold Stone has a flavor called "Sinless Sweet Cream"(which is only 2 points on Weight Watchers in the "Like it" size). Come on, Maggie Moos... Get with the picture. It's a "dieters world" out there. And right here, for that matter.
And for what it's worth, Miss Skinny Cow would totally whip Maggie Moo's tail in an Ice Cream wrestling match between the two. Oooh, that actually sounds pretty fun, and delicious, and like a good workout! I'm game... As long as it's "Sinless."

Toothpaste WarsThere are two kinds of people... Squeezers and Rollers.
The Squeezers' technique involves pressing the thumb and forefinger anywhere in the middle of the toothpaste tube, with pressure generally propelling a large glob of paste onto the brush. When the toothpaste gets low, Squeezers then crinkle the tube in an attempt to force out the paste hiding in the odd bumps and ridges. Sometimes, they will even scrunch and wring to the point of strangling the defenseless tube.
Rollers, on the other hand, take more time and care with their pasting. Each day, they neatly roll the back end of the tube and push the paste evenly up towards the spout. Then, when the paste eventually gets low, there is no work involved in extracting the last licks of paste. These people tend to be somewhat anal at times, and a bit obsessive compulsive.
I, myself, am a Roller from way back. My boyfriend, however, is a hard core Squeezer. Thus, we have... The Toothpaste War. A daily power struggle. A battle for control of the Colgate Total.
And the fact is, I'm weakening. I'm beginning to give in. It is just so disheartening when I do all that work to get the paste even across and rolled onto the one side of the tube, and then the next morning I wake to find a big thumb imprint in the middle, and paste pushed out in every direction. Sigh... So recently I have found myself, dare I say, succumbing to The Man.
Should I just throw in the tissue on this one, and give up altogether? Or is this what people are talking about when they say relationships involve compromise? And you... Which side of the war are you on?

It hit close to home...Earlier tonight, I went outside to walk my dog Audrey, as I do every night. But tonight was different. Tonight, I saw lights shooting up into the sky from downtown Manhattan. Tonight, I was transported back...
September 11, 2001: It was just months after my dad died of ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease, and I was in one of my worst states of depression (the "D" word, I despise). Just days before, I had a severe panic attack, during which I ended up hurting my hand and having to spend two nights in the hospital.
Sept. 10th was my first night home from the hospital, and I was still doped up on pain meds, when my roomie Lauren ran in saying something about the city and an attack, and she ushered me out in front of our old barely working, black and white television. We had it rigged with tin-foil "bunny ears," so we could get exactly one channel, a fuzzy black and white version of Fox. Kneeling down, in a medicated daze, squinting to try and make out what I could on the screen...
That's when I saw it, sort of.
Faces and names of family and friends in downtown Manhattan flashed through my head, in what I can only call a clear blur. And to this day, that week is a clear blur in my memory. Unbelievable. Unimaginable. Unescapable.

Beauty Sales: A thing of beautyAnother great thing about working in a building with numerous magazines, is something known as: the Beauty Sale.
During a magazine's Beauty Sale, many of the samples sent to the magazine are sold at ridiculously low prices to employees and friends, and then the profits all go to charity. Seriously... what better excuse is there to go shopping, than for charity? And the profits today were all going to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
So, as any good girl would, I ran over to make my "contribution." I bought several Mac lip glosses, in shades like Morning Glory and Adventurous, as well as Stila sheer color tinted moisturizer, a shadow, and a lancome lip pencil.
Even though I had already donated to the American Red Cross... I felt it was my duty to continue supporting the cause (and work on looking good while I'm doing it)!

Mmmmmac 'n cheeseI don't know what it is about Mac and Cheese that is just so dern lovable! Tonight I had Mac and Cheese for dinner. And when I say Mac and Cheese, I mean the only kind of Mac and Cheese I can get away with on Weight Watchers (unless 2 noodles magically jump into my plastic container at the salad/hot food bar). But, I'm talking about the frozen "Smart Ones" or "Lean Cuisines," whichever one happened to be on sale. Truth is, they are really not all that bad, and they don't make my tuchus swell up just by looking at it.
Mac and Cheese and I go way back. We had some good times back in the day. And I still feel like a kid every time I eat it. The sad thing is that I don't even know when the last time I had "real" Mac and Cheese was, and by "real" I mean either home made(from a restaurant, not home home made) OR even from a box. But, I do appreciate the hint of Mac and Cheese that I get from my diet versions. At least I can still dream about the real warm gooey deliciousness melting in my mouth. Okay, I have to stop now. I am starting to drool...
This post is for my big sister, who taught me to love and appreciate Mac and Cheese, hopefully for a smile before going to the doctor... Love you.

A poke is just a pokeIt is amazing how poker can really bring out the worst in people. A little bit of "friendly" competition, and faces and noises can erupt from your closest friends that you have never seen or heard before.
For instance, there is the red faced, tight jawed, pout lipped pucker, as well as the ever-popular death glare, often called the evil eye, which between lovers is the you're not gonna get any tonight glare. Then, there is the nervous nail-biter peek, the eye-darting scan, the serious face-study survey, and the most dangerous of all... the piercing probe. Now that one is generally saved for when someone is really out for blood, and is the kind of face that if you saw it in a non-poker setting, would probably just look like they smelled something nasty.
That said, I won at poker last night. There were seven of us, and I got to take home the big pot of 20 buckaroos. Exciting, eh? That should just about cover my lunch today: one small salad in mid-town.

Quick thought about moms
I admire moms.
I really admire moms who carry screaming three year olds around in the subway, while wearing three inch heels!
Seriously... I see it, but I don't believe it. I can barely get through a three hour party in high heels, carrying nothing but my tush around. And I can guarantee you that my tush is where I'd end up if I was trying to walk around the city and/or chase a toddler around in high heels.
But if you can do it... More power to you. You will look incredibly sexy as spit-up is drizzling down the defined curves of your traffic-stopping calves.

Passing the Bar (Mitzvah)Went to a Bar Mitzvah for the first time since I was of that age. It was for the beau's cousin. Here are some of the highlights...
-Pigs in blankets and other small puffed pastry appetizer.
-Using "I'm going to take photos" for the second time in two weeks as an excuse to not do the hora.
-Getting a second wear out of my new dress, and not wearing stockings again.
-DJ hosted games (including "Coke and Pepsi") with blinking neon prizes (reminded me of the days of yore).
-Drinking two Apple Martinis with the beau's Mom, or as she says, "Ti Martoonis."
-Avoiding being slammed into by 13 year old boys on sugar highs, who were swinging each other around on the dance floor.
-After hearing "Cotton Eye Joe" at all the Yankee games, seeing the dance moves that go with it.
-Finding out that one of the "crazy Aunts" is a klepto, and then watching her take things (mints and sewing kit and such) from the bathroom party basket and put them into her purse.
-And my favorite... Another one of the "crazy Aunts" (who is 91 years young) saying to me (after having a lei put on her as the "Conga" train passed), "That's not the kind of lay I need! Oy, am I horrible? I'm horrible..."
Yes, she actually said that!
Anyone else have a memorable weekend or Bar/Bat Mitzvah memories to share?

Things that make me go RRRRGGGHHH!
I am currently working on being a less reactive person, and more proactive... but certain situations, especially from my daily subway rides, are proving to be quite a challenge in my quest for growth. These are some of those things...
1. Eyeing pictures or paintings hanging crookedly on walls
2. People who don't stand to the right on escalators
3. Sweat stains (except post workout)
4. People who clip their nails on the train and then brush the clippings on the floor
5. Dull razors
6. Toilet paper rolls put on upside down
7. People who don't give up their subway seat for pregnant women
8. Finding out I had stuff in my teeth or an open fly and nobody told me
9. People who don't turn off their phone sound while play games on the subway
10. No clean sexy/confident underwear (forcing a granny panty or thong sort of day)
and this is not even touching on the political idiocy that get me going... What makes your blood start to boil?

Gays caused Katrina?I am so upset about this, I can barely form words. After reading A True Jersey Girl's most recent post, I went to www.repentamerica.com. I was greeted by a page with an American flag, and two links. CHRISTIANS: ENTER HERE, and ALL OTHERS: ENTER HERE. I clicked "OTHERS" and was taken to a page called "Are you good Enough to get into Heaven?" But this is not what is making me on the verge of tears at work. On their home page, under Press Release, there is an "article" called HURRICANE KATRINA DESTROYS NEW ORLEANS DAYS BEFORE "SOUTHERN DECADENCE"
It begins...
"NEW ORLEANS - Just days before "Southern Decadence", an annual homosexual celebration attracting tens of thousands of people to the French Quarters section of New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina destroys the city..."
And it goes on from there. This is not a joke. It really scares me that people can think this way. I wanted to write them a letter of disgust, but their e-mail contact has been disabled from volume of e-mail... hopefully hate mail. And I am someone who doesn't even like to use the word hate usually.
It ended with...
"Let us not forget that the citizens of New Orleans tolerated and welcomed the wickedness in their city for so long," Marcavage (director of Repent America) said. "May this act of God cause us all to think about what we tolerate in our city limits, and bring us trembling before the throne of Almighty God," Marcavage concluded.
"[God] sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." (Matthew 5:45)
How could anyone possibly think this is what God intended? I'm just speechless...

A ditty for your dayI wanted to start "Photo Friday" today, but I forgot that I cannot upload images to my blog from my work computer, so that will have to wait until this evening. In the meantime, I will sing you a song...
There she was, just a 'walkin' down the street singin'
do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet singin'
do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
She looked good (looked good!), she looked fine (looked fine!)
She looked good, she looked fine, and I nearly lost my mind...
Okay, your turn... Anyone want to get another song stuck in my head? Just not the Fanta song please... oops, too late. And how about this long weekend... I have to go to a Bar Mitzvah. At least I get a second wear out of my fun new dress! Any fun plans to share?

Hot crossed bunsI have weight watchers today after work, and I'm not looking forward to it. I'm feeling a bit puffy between the wedding last weekend, and the obligatory "someone's leaving" office party.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Learning
This model of Equine Assisted psychotherapy and learning helps the client to increase their capacity for awareness.
Why do we need awareness? Having awareness of our thoughts / feelings and body sensations assists us to build capacity to welcome and tolerate feelings we may normally suppress and try to ignore.
Accepting "where you are right now," is a learned experience that horses can teach us.Learn More »
How Horses are Helping Children with Cancer
Those who are battling a serious illness such as cancer will identify with how lonely and isolating it can be. Whilst there is a great deal of focus on eradicating the cancer through medical treatments such as chemotherapy, little support is offered in dealing with the emotional aspects of this tragic disease. Some cancer patients are turning to horses to help provide comfort and companionship during their most difficult periods.
How are horses able to help? By spending time with horses and feeling connected to them, it is possible for a person's spirits to be lifted immeasurably and for them to feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

Patrick Loxley:
"The Suikoden Revival Movement is an ever expanding community made up of Suiko-fans from all over the globe. Many of the movement's followers are keen to express their unwavering love for the series and to share their personal experiences of the game with the Konami community. We here at Konami UK were more than thrilled to receive a selection of guest articles, hand picked by the Suikoden Revival Movement team, detailing how Suikoden has helped inspire people from every corner of the world. The guest article below comes from aspiring games designer, Patrick Loxley and outlines the continual impact the Suikoden series has had on his life from childhood to present day."
I never played a Suikoden game, sadly, i need to fix that somehow.
No. Final Fantasy 6-10 cemented that title for the FF series. But, Suikoden is definitely one of the best.
"It doesn't need AAA title style graphics, it just needs to be the Suikoden which we know and love."
I fully agree, but also want to add a word of caution. If there were a Suikoden revival, I think it would need to have a production value at least equal to the Playstation 2 games in the series, but in HD. It would basically be a mid-tier game, which the industry is BADLY missing.
I feel like anything less than that would be begging for failure.
For me Suikoden 2 is one of the best JRPG's I have ever played. Still waiting for it to come to PSN
I have played Suikoden 3 like 4 times, dont have time to play more and has a lot of walking on foot ? (EG is not my first so i guess that the word), aside of this is one of top JRPG on ps2, Suikoden 2 was also good but i dont have a Ps1.

Bits of Torah Truths, Parashat Mishpatim, פרשת משפטים, A Piece of Revelation from God
In this week's reading Moshe writes the following, אֱלֹהִ֖ים לֹ֣א תְקַלֵּ֑ל וְנָשִׂ֥יא בְעַמְּךָ֖ לֹ֥א תָאֹֽר׃ 22:27 You shall not revile God, nor put a curse upon a chieftain among your people. מְלֵאָתְךָ֥ וְדִמְעֲךָ֖ לֹ֣א תְאַחֵ֑ר בְּכ֥וֹר בָּנֶ֖יךָ תִּתֶּן־לִּֽי׃ 22:28 You shall not put off the skimming of the first yield of your vats. You shall give Me the first-born among your sons. כֵּֽן־תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה לְשֹׁרְךָ֖ לְצֹאנֶ֑ךָ שִׁבְעַ֤ת יָמִים֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה עִם־אִמּ֔וֹ בַּיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁמִינִ֖י תִּתְּנוֹ־לִֽי׃ 22:29 You shall do the same with your cattle and your flocks: seven days it shall remain with its mother; on the eighth day you shall give it to Me. וְאַנְשֵׁי־קֹ֖דֶשׁ תִּהְי֣וּן לִ֑י וּבָשָׂ֨ר בַּשָּׂדֶ֤ה טְרֵפָה֙ לֹ֣א תֹאכֵ֔לוּ לַכֶּ֖לֶב תַּשְׁלִכ֥וּן אֹתֽוֹ׃ (ס) 22:30 You shall be holy people to Me: you must not eat flesh torn by beasts in the field; you shall cast it to the dogs. לֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֖א שֵׁ֣מַע שָׁ֑וְא אַל־תָּ֤שֶׁת יָֽדְךָ֙ עִם־רָשָׁ֔ע לִהְיֹ֖ת עֵ֥ד חָמָֽס׃ (ס) 23:1 You must not carry false rumors; you shall not join hands with the guilty to act as a malicious witness: לֹֽא־תִהְיֶ֥ה אַחֲרֵֽי־רַבִּ֖ים לְרָעֹ֑ת וְלֹא־תַעֲנֶ֣ה עַל־רִ֗ב לִנְטֹ֛ת אַחֲרֵ֥י רַבִּ֖ים לְהַטֹּֽת׃ 23:2 'You shall not follow the masses in doing evil, nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after a multitude in order to pervert justice; There are a number of commands here that are related to the heart, to what we find most important, and to justice, truth, and faith. The name of this week's reading, Mishpatim "judgments" or "laws" describes the lengthy collection of statutes the Lord is giving to His people in regards to living in this life. He says you are not to revile God or put a curse upon a chieftain among your people. To revile is to blaspheme meaning one is not to take the name of God in relation to cursing. Rabbeinu Bahya on Shemot / Exodus 22:27 Part 1 states. "אלוהים לא תקלל, 'you shall not curse a judge.' This is a warning for the party who has been convicted of a crime or sin not to curse the judge who convicted him. This subject follows the subject of the need to extend loans to fellow Jews as on occasion disputes arise over whether a loan has been repaid, the debtor either denying he had received it or the lender claiming that he had not been repaid. Such disputes are submitted to judgment. It is quite possible that the party whose claim is rejected (if he feels that he has been wronged) will curse the judge who has wronged him. This is why the Torah has to warn that one must not engage in such conduct." This is connected to taking from the first fruits and giving it to the Lord, from the flocks, and even from our sons. These commands go on to describe how we are not to be as beasts eating flesh torn by animals, to tell lies, or to go along with the crowd when the masses are doing evil. God's people are to be holy and righteous and not act in a forbidden manner when others are doing so. We are not to be influenced by the fact that the majority thinks differently from us. This appears to be what is going on today in our culture. The joining of hands with ungodly thought processes and accepting and placing first in our lives the cultural norms as opposed to the Word of God. When studying the Tanach and the Apostolic Writings, we believe that God anoints His people to heal, to preach, and to witness his magnificent work in our lives and speaking of this to others. This is all true and necessary, but it seems today Christians stop short. The Lord God of Israel also wants to anoint us to think! The Holy Spirit of God and the mind are not our enemies. The Lord enables us to think and this is just as important and necessary for us as believers as the need to proclaiming the gospel. Remember the war that we are in is within the mind. This is why the Lord gave us the command to not spread false rumors. Chizkuni on Shemot / Exodus 23:1 Parts 1 and 2 states, "לא תשא שמע שוא, 'do not spread false rumours' the expression תשא from the root נשא, 'to carry,' is used here as 'carrying by mouth;' another example of the same expression being used in a similar context is found in Psalms 16,4: ובל אשא את שמותם על שפתי, "so that their names will not pass my lips." In other words: 'let me not utter a lie.' אל תשת ידך עם רשע, 'do not join hands with a wicked person.' It follows automatically that you must not join him in giving false testimony." This is also connected to following the crowd as Sforno on Shemot / Exodus 23:2 Part 3 states, "לנטות אחרי רבים, do not be influenced by the fact that the majority thinks differently from you. Assuming that in a trial 10 of the 23 judges had expressed the view that the accused was innocent whereas eleven had expressed the view that the accused was guilty," Notice the emphasis here on how important it is not to have deceit in the recesses of the heart (lies) and to not join hands with the wicked. This is true because of who we are called to be and the spirit of God dwelling within us empowering us to righteousness, holiness, justice, and truth. The Lord God in heaven sent His son to set us free from the slavery of sin, and to establish in our lives righteousness, holiness, justice, and truth as a people who are redeemed. We are not slaves to unrighteousness but to the Messiah, and in being so, we are slaves to righteousness and truth.

After the Capitals smoked the Lightning in the initial two amusements of the arrangement to bounce out to a staggering 2-0 arrangement lead, the Lightning figured out how to get back in the arrangement with an enormous street win in Washington on Tuesday. Steven Stamkos, Nikita Kucherov, Victor Hedman and Brayden Point all scored in Tampa's 4-2 win in Game 3.
The Washington Capitals done-did it. They shook off the Penguins bugaboo lastly progressed toward the Eastern Conference Finals, turning into the main group from Washington D.C. to make it to a meeting last since … the Washington Capitals in 1998. In any case, before we as a whole begin announcing this the Caps year, they have another real deterrent approaching as they endeavor to win the city's first title since 1992, when the Redskins won the Super Bowl.
That snag comes as the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have required only 10 recreations to achieve the gathering finals. They disposed of the Bruins and Devils in five diversions, and they've satisfied all of their in front of the rest of the competition complete in the East up until this point. Driven by a portion of the best objective scorers in hockey, the Lightning are searching for their second Stanley Cup appearance in four years.

Face Recognition software
Bajet $250-750 USD
As a webdeveloper i'm planning a website where a user can detect himself or a friend on a (previously scanned) festival video.
The first step:
- the software get's a video or way better a streaming url like one from youtube
- this can be done manually and runs in background, so no "live" searching
- it scans the video for faces and saves them in a database - what software you want to use for this belongs to you
The second step:
- a user uploads an image of his face (done by me)
- the software get the face as an image and searches through its generated face database
- it send's the matches back - the image/video ID and maybe the percentage of the match would be enough.
A good example is [url removed, login to view], a facial expression website. You would be responsible for the face recognition software in background.
Please give some information about your experience to make the decision easier

Ah yes, her poetry is wondrous:) I'm glad you post so often, I just normally don't have the time or will, but I'm going to start doing it... a LOT. Hopefully, that is;)
Also, I awarded you: http://aaaaaahhhhs.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-birthday-tomorrow-lot-of-other-stuff.htmlDelete
Oh, I'm glad you're glad :) Sometimes I feel as though I post like wayyyyyyyyyy too often.
Thanks for the award! I'll hop over and check it out :) And for some reason I really like to say I "hopped over" :)
Grant me some smaller grace than comes to these;--
But so much patience, as a blade of grass
Grows by contented through the heat and cold.
Love that one. I like reading poetry as well, quite a bit actually. My favorite is Longfellow, and then I like Frost and Keats and Tennyson.
Got to love a Darcy quote, whatever it may be! ;)
Yeah, I really like that one too! I think the first one might be my favorite. Elizabeth Barrett Browning included so much of God in her sonnets and poems!
I've not read much poetry, and don't recall reading any Longfellow, Keats, or Tennyson. I did read a poem or two by Robert Frost during my sophomore year though as part of a Literature program thingy.
i've never been much of a poetry person, but these tid-bits are lovely! i MAY think about reading it. :)
also. i love darcy. the end.
:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) {:)}
miss you lots!!
If you do, you can let me know and you can borrow it! And yes, Darcy is great.
Missing you already, queen of my heart. . . . (sorry. quote from The Parent Trap. but I really do miss you :))
that was a little awkward... I read
"Missing you already," and thought, well, gee, I've been gone for over a month... and then I read the rest.
"Queen of my heart..." and I got really confused, and freaked out slightly. I was like, "well I didn't know we were THAT good of friends. haha
thanks for a laugh. :)
Haha, I know, it's a really dorky line. It's actually said by a butler to his mistress's daughter (the two of them are best friends).Delete

House Stinkin' Party
Last night our friend Nick was celebrating moving into his new place.
Like the Clampits that we are, we of course brought our dogs. He's on ten acres of open space and the dogs were in pure heaven running around like hyenas.
We had a lovely evening and toward the end of the night an overwhelming odor floated onto the patio as Boomer (our dog) approached. We knew within a split second he had been skunked. Poor boy got hit in the face and his eyes were burning, as he madly rolled himself on Nick's lawn. Boomer often wears a t-shirt, so we pulled the soaked t-shirt off of him, he rolled some more. We squirted his eyes with water and wiped them off with paper towels and he rolled some more. By this time, we both were reeking.
As nice of a guy as Nick is, I couldn't help notice how he tried to close his front door on me as I tried to walk in. Imagine that. Soon his whole house was reeking and all his guests were groaning. By then my olfactories were desensitized so I didn't see what the big deal was. We called the vet who gave us a concoction to remove the odor:
-1 qt hydrogen peroxide
-1/4 c baking soda
-1/4 c dishwashing liquid
We ungracefully bowed out with Nick enthusiastically waving goodbye through a closed window (I think he was holding his nose).
We got home and bathed Boomer and it was much better except for the fact the damn skunk got him in the face and we couldn't put the mixture too close to his eyes. So you only smell it if you kiss him, or when he kisses you! He of course slept with us last night, after all he'd been through I couldn't reject him from his comfort zone.
But we had to chuckle this morning, realizing that Boomer had probably wiped most of the skunk smell onto Nick's lawn, right in front of his front door. I wonder how long that smell will linger? And imagining the skunk-soaked t-shirt laying in his yard as a special "gift" made us laugh even harder. Happy House Warming, Nick!
Yes, we're givers.

What an appetizing site you have. Cat vomit, skunked dogs. Are there loose bowel anecdotes from raw food eaters?

Your loose bowels (aka
"loser bowels") are a symptom that your intestines and colon are in a state of great agitation. They are inflammed and angry, unable to hang onto any nutrients, you just shit it all out. You need to stop eating for several days and sip acidolphilus-filled rejuvelac and cool down your digestive tract.
This may trigger a cooling down of your personality as well, which it apparently could use.--your loving sister

Actually, my bowels move quite well, thank you. They move comfortably several times a day. Upstairs I read music theory while shitting and downstairs I review world religions (I am studying the religions of India at the moment). Did you know that cow shit and piss are considered medicinal in some cultures?
I wasn't aware that my personality needed "cooling down." I thought that I had finally started settling down in to that twilight of pre-senile mellowness sometimes found in aging Southern gentlemen.
Your loving brother.

Um, so did you see the People's Choice Awards last night? Okay, so they were totally boring and officially had me in the ZZZZ Zone UNTIL MARIAH CAREY SHOWED UP IN THAT WHITE DRESS.
Okay, so Mariah Carey always looks pretty and polished. But WTF? The white beaded Ysa Makino dress she wore to accept her Favorite R&B Artist award was about eight(teen) sizes too small. Nick Cannon -- whom she shouted out during her acceptance speech, saying, "Thanks for being my best friend and for many other things that I probably shouldn't mention," and practically forced everyone to picture them doing it -- had to assist her as she nearly tripped and drowned on the train's beyond excessive fabric, which should've been used to cover her bust which was begging to be let free. What should've been the job of a small army was left to a small, helpless halter strap was working overtime and probably not getting paid for the job. I was waiting on a critical wardrobe malfunction that would've had the FCC reeling faster than you can say "Adam Lambert." Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Especially when you can't and shouldn't.
Missed Mariah at the People's Choice Awards? Check out photos of Mariah and her white dress disaster -- and Nick "I-Didn't-Sign-Up-For-This" Cannon! Mimi -- L.O.V.E. U., H.A.T.E. the dress.

Snow Angles
There were (and sometimes still are) many times Brad and I have thought about living in Canada. It would be nice to be close to family we only get to see a couple of times a year. We love the Canadians' way of living (very European), their love for the environment, and we love their summers!
But after spending a couple of days here so far, I'm not sure if I love their winters. I wanted to take the kids outside but bundling them up is a HUGE job. I asked my sister to help me because I was afraid that once I got one dressed that kid would get hot and start melting down while I dressed the other. How do moms up here do it??? They must have a routine because staying inside ALL winter is NOT an option!
After being inside for a just a couple of days we are all going stir crazy!!! It is cloudy and gloomy outside so that doesn't help either. Again I ask, how do moms up here do it???
Not being use to all of the winter gear, Addyson was NOT a fan of gloves. Walking in the deep (for her) snow and being off balance and having freezing hands didn't make for a fun experience for her.
Poor baby! She wanted UP! I knew she was done. How do moms play with the older kid in the snow while the younger one is freezing, wants up, and wants to go in??? What am I missing... besides the gloves???
So I let Addyson borrow my gloves to take the chill off of her hands and that lasted for about a minute and then again she was done. Owen was having SO much fun that I couldn't take him inside! After all, we just spent 10 minutes bundling up.... we had to spend more than 10 minutes outside to make it worth our while!
So while Owen played, he liked falling down and then standing back up, I ran Addyson inside. Lucky for all of us, Becky was inside getting ready for work so Addyson could hang out with her with Owen got his fill of snow!
I taught him how to make snow angles!!! It was so cute to watch him make them!!! I remember as a kid making snow angles and then trying to stand up without ruining my angle by stepping in it! To help Owen preserve his precious little snow angle I help him stand up without stepping in it!
I love my little snow angles!!!

Here's a picture of her:
Here's a picture of her accessories:
Her horse, Picasso:
Her horse accessories:
Her dog, Rembrandt:
Her parade outfit:
Her hot air balloon:
Her art set:
Her sweater outfit:
Her sparkle outfit:
My thoughts on her: I really, even though I'm not a horse person, like her. I like her hair, and her eyes, and her ring. Even though AG raised the price, I can't help but like her (for 110 dollars).
Her accessories: I like the bracelet, and the purse. Also, I think it's neat she comes with pierced ears.
Her horse, Picasso: I like the horse, really. However, I don't intend to get the horse. It's 94 dollars, and, as I've already got a horse for Amy, Spirit, then I don't see the need to spend 94 dollars for something I've already got. Unless I can find a good sale on Ebay, and she's 50 or less, I don't see this horse coming to live with me.
Her horse accessories: Now, this is something that will probably come to live with me. Spirit needs a new set of whatever you call horse gear, and as AG doesn't release it separately for the horses for MAGs, then...
Her dog, Rembrandt: Can you say aww? Because I can, and will, apparently. It says he's plush, and even though I have Cooper, he's probably coming to live here.
Her parade outfit: I like the boots, and that's it. I think that the shirt is too similar to Nicki's tie top, from Nicki's Tie Top and Shorts, and the jeans are just another pair of jeans. So this outfit isn't one of my favorites.
Her hot air balloon: Awesome, for 150 dollars. I really like the camera, thought, and wish I'd put it into two sets. Like maybe Saige's Hot Air Balloon, and Saige's Hot Air Balloon Accessories.
Her art set: Two words: Love it! I think AG gave this a lot of detail, with the sketches and the paintings and stuff. Really cute.
Her sweater outfit: Cute, looks like something I would wear. Also, the tee shirt and jeans look good for mix and matching.
Her sparkle outfit: Ehh. It's pink, and like bright salmony pink. The only thing I like is the necklace.
So, quick summery, in case you skippered all that: Saige, her accessories, her horse accessories, her dog, her art-excuse me, painting set-, and her sweater outfit will probably be coming to live with me.

I am in London again... it has been one of those weeks.
Our visit had been planned for ages and we were going to see Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake... it was at Sadler's Wells for six weeks and it finished this weekend. We've seen it twice before but everytime we go it is a revelation... partly because new dancers bring something special to the main parts but largely because it is probably the best piece of dance theatre I have ever seen.... and of course the music is incredible! The production is best known for the little bit at the end of the 'Billy Elliott' film where Billy plays the lead role in the ballet or more commonly for the male swans. It's a funny, moving and incredibly powerful ballet and everytime I see it I simply want to see it again. This time the Prince was fantastic but the whole thing was magic. If you ever get the chance to go, go.

yes, every time when a card arrives, kids are so excited, so happy! It's so much better than emails, traditional post cards and letters have a kind of magic, I think. Everybody can touch cards, read what's on them. My pupils just want to have a card in their hand for a while and then they feel this card is really for them.ReplyDelete
You are right, Kasia. Maybe, in our technological and globalized society, the return to "analogic" actions is sometimes more interesting and heartwarming.ReplyDelete

While I lunched, the remote landed on "Snake In The Eagle's Shadow" a 1978 film starring Jackie Chan. Very, very good with the sound off and closed captioning. Purely visual delight; kinetic energy contact buzz. No wonder: it was directed by Woo-Ping Yuen. Absolutely beautiful choreography, witty and fleet.
Childhood memory: martial arts movies every Saturday afternoon, following "Soul Train." Smile.

WTB? Titanic
I mostly picked this movie because I did wtb while watching the Oscars and this movie, while it ties in both categories, it is the only one to show up in both most wins and most nominated. It was nominated for 14 oscars (tied with All About Eve) and won 11 of them (tied with Ben-Hur and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King). I picked Titanic since it was in both categories and also because I haven't seen ANY of the other movies (I know, shame shame). The other reason I picked it is even though I only saw it one time, and even though hearing the name of the movie leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth- I actually enjoyed myself while watching it. The love story part of it never appealed much to me, but everything else was really cool. By everything else I mean the ship stuff. It really was awesome. I just wanted to remind myself and everyone else of that fact.
The winner this week was Alex! He got it rather quickly after the first quote. Congrats Alex- that was a good win. Next was pops, he got it yesterday after the shadow of death quote (that line still makes me shiver. GAG.) B got it next followed by Dan. Matt made a real valiant effort at 3:30 this morning and wrote, "pirates?" Haha. I was impressed that you even tried, you usually won't bother if you are pretty sure you aren't winning. Anyway, I figured that deserved some props. Good job Alex!

The "look at that thing! You would have gone straight to the bottom" quote made me think of Titanic actually! But, I just couldn't see that making the wtb. But, we are running out of Wright Classics. (still have a few up my sleeve though... if I could ever win. grrr)
Yes, I am trying not to be a sore loser and guess when I get around to it. The poker, the water, and the brandy all together reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean. But, Titanic obviously would have been the better guess. %)
(that is a Picasso smily face. hehe)

Nice win, Alex. Let's see what movie you come up with this time. Always interesting!
I have never liked DeCaprio, but I have to admit his later movies now that he is older i like him better. The Grape thing was alwright, however.
Picasso smily face! hahaha, good one, Foos.

I still can't place the "straight to the bottom" line. What scene is it in?
Leo rules!

It's when Jack sees her engagement ring, and he is referring to when she tried to drowned herself, which I think is when they meet, but can't remember fully.
- March 7, 2011 at 4:22 PM
- Dan W said...
Hmmm. Will have to watch again, I guess. I'm sure it's either right before or right after the nude scene, so I better look there first to find it, don't you think?
- March 7, 2011 at 6:17 PM
- Matt said...
Haha Dan! Yeah, you better accidently push the slow mo button too.
Alex and I talked about these lines over Sunday dinner, and when I mentioned that I thought it was Kates ring, he said it was a necklace. Obviously that movie made quite an impression on him, so I will put my money on necklace.
- March 7, 2011 at 6:41 PM
- Dan W said...
The strategically draped necklace!
Yep, I think slo mo is vital. James Cameron worked so hard, we owe it to him to examine the artistry of every camera and lighting angle, etc.
- March 7, 2011 at 9:17 PM
- Emily said...
IMDB says "engagement ring", but that means little. Someone watch it, now I'm curious.
The nudity is art. (Just giving you an out in case Lori reads this.)
- March 7, 2011 at 10:46 PM
- Alex said...
Now that I think about it, I think it was the engagement ring. But the whole movie is about a necklace, right? Isn't that what the old lady drops off the boat at the end?
It's not like I've watched this movie a million times or anything, I just happen to remember stupid little stuff.
Geez I'm startin to feel a bit dirty with all this nude scene talk. I guess its my bad for bringin it up. My bad peeps.
- March 8, 2011 at 1:01 AM
- Dan W said...
I'll be better, sorry! It's just that I get so inspired by artistry (thanks, Em, for helping me identify that reason for my comments)...
- March 8, 2011 at 8:27 AM
- Sue said...
"The Grape thing" that cracks me up. It is pretty cool watching the ship sink, but other than that, this movie was pretty lame. I did not care at all about the main characters. I never, ever, would have guessed this movie from the quotes. I've only seen it once.
- March 9, 2011 at 12:19 PM
- Matt said...
Haha! The Grape thing. I must have breezed over that too quickly. That is so Dad. haha
- March 9, 2011 at 12:58 PM

I'm just back from Las Vegas. There is a lot of that artistry stuff walking the streets in that town.

You will also learn how to switch between the Gridify and Grid Placement modes to quickly draw shapes and then create arrays of them. Plus you'll be able to distribute them regularly across your layout with ease. The grid drawing techniques can be applied to any drawing object in InDesign – including frames for content.

I sometimes have to combine two strands because product is so flimsy that it doesn't really look well when finished. I have also found that it's really cool and exciting to combine two unlikely types of novelty yarn for a different effect - like a flimsy "fur" and eyelash, in complementary colors.
We should never be afraid to experiment. This is especially true if we have already invested money in a specific yarn or thread and we do not want to waste it.
I have heard that some of these yarns "shed" after a while and all that is left is the core thread, bare of furry strands. Some also lose their fur in laundering, even if it's done gently by hand.
Considering that, which I only just now really thought about, I really should make a wee patch in each brand or type that I have on hand, and just dip them into a small cup of dish liquid and tepid water, and see how they handle. At least, I could then include honest comments on the effects of laundering by hand.
Either way, they look great when they work out the way we hope, so it's worth the occasional bad buy. Go ahead - give the fake furs a try.

Publix Current Deals 1/21-1/27
I am running behind today and I wanted to go ahead and get some of the deals out to everyone!
Sarah over at Fiddledeedee has released her match-ups already...
Go here to view the coupon match-ups for Internet Printable coupons
Go here to view the coupon match-ups for manufacturer coupons
I will come back in later today to add anything else to the add with competitor coupons.
PLEASE NOTE: Our local store in Cartersville, GA is in the process of changing their coupon policy. I am waiting to meet with the store manager by the end of the week to get the new policy for you once they complete it. According to the customer service manager they have seen then amount of people in their store using coupons more than triple over the last few months and there seems to be some confusion with their current policy.
One of the manager's advised me that there are two individuals who they feel "abuse the system" and this is part of why they are changing their policy. It only takes one person to ruin it for the rest of us! ALWAYS PRACTICE LEGIT COUPON USAGE AND BE COURTEOUS TO OTHERS IN THE AMOUNT OF ONE ITEM THAT YOU PURCHASE! These individuals come in each week and practically wipe the shelves out. They suspect that they are reselling their items in a convenience store and are quite upset about it. They view their abuse is taking everything off of the shelf and not allowing other customers take advantage of the sales.
I make it a point to never take more than 4 to 6 of the same item off of the shelf when shopping. I always leave product behind for someone else! If there is a really good deal on something I ask the managers to order it for me the first day of the sale. They would much rather order items in bulk than have you wipe everything out! The product comes in on their next truck and you get what you need along with everyone else getting what they need!
They are changing some of their "accepting competitor coupon stacking policies along with changing the maximum $ amount of internet printables that they will allow!
I will post an update on this new policy for everyone to view and have asked the store manager to post the policy change at the front of the store along with information at each register! I feel that this will make everyone aware of the change. There's nothing more frustrating than getting in line with a buggy full of groceries only to find out that you can't use certain coupons. This will make things go more smoothly for the cashiers and create less "anger" from customers. A WIN WIN situation if they post the change! Hopefully they will take my suggestion into consideration. We will see!

Hey Lisa,
Just a quick note--I ran into a problem w/a Publix cashier a few weeks ago. I immediately came home and shot off an e-mail to corporate, and a hard copy to my local Publix.
Before I knew it, the store mgr. was calling me back. She said that CORPORATE Publix has no official coupon polcies, but their OFFICIAL policy is to always make the customer happy and to err on the side of the customer.
She also said that PUBLIX IS THE ONLY GROCERY STORE THAT STACKS COUPONS AND ACCEPTS COMPETITOR COUPONS.
That said, your local Publix (we are in No. GA-Cumming), should not be able to change those two things.
You should still be able to stack and use competitor coupons. Hopefully, they won't put too many restrictions on their shoppers with this new policy.
Good luck!

I just spoke with the assistant manager again for our store. The store manager will not be back until Monday and I asked if he could email him and let him know that I will be coming in to talk to him. He had asked the assitant manager to tell me this because I had requested it at my last trip!
I teach classes and just simply want to know exactly what the policies are to make sure that what I teach is not misleading and accurate.
I hopefully can resolve the issue internally since my relationship with the managers is closer than your average shopper.
One of the policies in question is stacking competitor coupons with manufacturer coupons. They are saying that we cannot do this. I explained that I have been doing it for the past 1 1/2 years straight and never been told otherwise until now. They will still stack the publix coupons with manufacturers.
The other in question is the dollar amount of IP coupons they will be accepting. They are trying to have it change to $1 or less. Anything over that will be rejected.
We will keep our fingers crossed! Thanks for the tip!
They did not have a copy of the corporate policy on hand but hopefully the store manager will be able to clarify this while he is at corporate tomorrow!

Money raised for K-9
WAYNESBORO, Pa. - Waynesboro Police Chief Mark King told the Borough Council Wednesday that the money has been raised to buy a new K-9 for the department.
Ex, a shepherd breed, died recently after eight years of service with the department. King told the council that businesses and individuals had donated the $12,000 needed to purchase a new police dog from Castle's K-9 of Mechanicsburg, Pa., and have it trained for a month with its handler Cpl. John Shindledecker.
Waynesboro Veterinary Clinic earlier donated its services for the life of the new dog.
King said it will cost an additional $2,000 a year for twice-monthly training sessions.
Sewer project ready to go
WAYNESBORO, Pa. - The borough has about $8 million in storm sewer work needed to correct flooding problems in the borough's south end, and a $1 million piece of the project is ready to go next year, if the funding can be secured from the state.

October 16, 2013 Crumbs – Natick Collection
Crumbs opened a location in the Natick Mall, upstairs in the newer wing of the mall.
I had to attend a party, so I picked up the Best Seller Taste Pack – how cute are these? I thought that with this pack there would be something for everyone – m&m, vanilla coconut, grasshopper, oreo, red velvet, birthday cake, chocolate chip cookie dough, hostess cupcake….yum.
They also have smaller pre made 6 packs.
Black Bottom Cheesecake: Brownie cake with cheesecake baked in topped with vanilla cream cheese frosting covered with brownie chunks and vanilla cream cheese drizzle. The downer to buying cupcakes is that they have little signs that tell you exactly how many calories you will be consuming…which can certainly be a deterrent.
For the 500+ calories I am sure that I would be eating if I had the whole cupcake, I wanted this to be out of this world. The chocolate cake was fresh (which sometimes they aren't with the bigger cupcakes here) and I liked the cream cheese frosting but the cheesecake filling here was a miss for me, whether it was the flavor itself or how the flavor of the filling went with the flavor of the frosting….it just didn't work for me.The Elvis cupcake, as you can imagine, vanilla cake filled & frosted with banana cream cheese frosting, topped with a swirl of real creamy peanut butter and edged with peanut butter chips. I feel like they played it safe with this one, it was good, but lacked the wow factor.
What's your favorite cupcake at Crumbs?

The Texas Rollergirls are the mothers of flat track roller derby, their travel team is currently ranked #2 in WFTDA, they have cool Texas accents, AND their boot camps are famous for being super awesome. We really hope to be able to bring this chance for everyone in Europe to take part.
Why the wait you ask?
As per usual, it's all down to venues. We are simply waiting to confirm if we are able to get a venue big enough to do the event justice. We are talking multiple tracks of awesomeness and room for everyone to get some quality skate time with the TXRG showing you their ropes.
So....please signal your interest by filling out our save the date form. It will help us determine how much room we might need, how many days we can include, and it will also ensure that you are first on the email list for when/if it goes on sale in the near future!
Get your skates on!
