I'm not sure how much sewing I will be doing in the next couple of weeks since I will be moving in and setting up. I have a lot of shopping to do because I only brought the bare necessities from Florida and then have to find a cable company, etc. But I have a bit to show this week and will save a bit for later, you know, spread the joy!
First up is the finished quilt that I showed you a couple of weeks ago. I found some adorable dotted fabric for the backing and added a cute little whale applique to make the back happy! Not sure exactly where this quilt will end up but I hope it adds happiness to someone's life.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's longtime press secretary says he's confident his boss of 14 years had no knowledge or involvement in the scheme that shut traffic near the George Washington Bridge in a political payback plot.
The spokesman, Michael Drewniak, called the plot reckless and perplexing in an opening statement Tuesday before a New Jersey legislative committee that's investigating last September's lane closings.
The scheme carried out by Christie loyalists has become a major distraction as the Republican contemplates a 2016 presidential run. Christie has denied knowing about the plot.
Drewniak has also testified before a federal grand jury that's separately investigating the lane closings.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Gov. Chris Christie's longtime press secretary is to testify before a New Jersey legislative committee on what he knew about the political retribution plot carried out by former aides to the governor.
Michael Drewniak is the only witness scheduled to testify Tuesday. Two others are to appear next month as the panel attempts to determine who ordered the approach lanes of the George Washington Bridge to be blocked without notice last September, and why the Democratic mayor whose town is at the base of the heavily traveled span was targeted for payback.
"The hearing is going to be an effort to continue to fill in the blanks on the record that we have so far," said Assemblyman John Wisniewski, co-chairman of the legislative panel. "The picture that has been provided to us by emails and other documents leaves lots of questions unanswered as to why certain actions were taken and, just as importantly, why certain actions weren't taken."
The plot carried out while Christie was running for re-election has become a major distraction as the Republican contemplates a 2016 presidential run. A federal criminal investigation is underway in addition to the legislative inquiry.
Drewniak has worked for Christie for 14 years, starting when Christie was New Jersey's top federal prosecutor. Christie recruited Drewniak and many assistant prosecutors after winning the 2009 gubernatorial election.
Drewniak had a professional and social relationship with David Wildstein, a key figure in the case. The Christie administration approved the creation of a $150,000 job for Wildstein at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the agency that operates the bridge. Wildstein was forced to resign from the post in January, after his involvement in the lane closings was revealed.
It was Wildstein who replied, "got it," after Christie aide Bridget Kelly sent him an email saying, "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
Drewniak had dinner with Wildstein the evening before he resigned and helped draft the administration's response to the resignation. Afterward, Wildstein thanked Drewniak for his advice.
Drewniak was interviewed three times by lawyers hired by Christie to review the lane closings. Their report found that Kelly and Wildstein acted alone in ordering the lanes closed for an unknown political vendetta.
Drewniak also was grilled for two hours by the Christie administration in January, after which the governor decided not to fire him.
The legislative panel heard from Christina Renna last week. Renna, who worked for Kelly while the lanes were blocked, described her former boss as erratic and overwhelmed but said she would not have decided to cause traffic jams without orders to do so.

Car Blast Kills At Least Two In Ingushetia
Russia — North Caucasus, undated
July 30, 2008
By Reuters
NAZRAN, Russia — At least two people were killed and five wounded when a car exploded outside a police station in the southern Russian region of Ingushetia on July 30, police sources said.
Police said an explosive device equivalent to 3-4 kilograms of TNT blew up under a vehicle in a parking lot full of service cars outside police headquarters in Nazran, the region's main city.
"We will have exact information on this only after an investigation is completed," a local police source said.
Attacks, shoot-outs, and bombings occur frequently in Ingushetia, an impoverished Russian region in the North Caucasus. Much of the violence has been aimed at police and judges.
Russian forces have fought two wars in nearby Chechnya since 1994, killing thousands of people and scarring the North Caucasus. The violence has spilled over into neighboring Daghestan and Ingushetia, two of Russia's poorest regions.

"Svitak is an activist for feminism, liberal politics, and youth
causes [...] pretty far up the road to becoming intellectual royalty," wrote Avital Andrews in Pacific Standard Magazine. Adora began advocacy work by promoting literacy, citing her surprise at hearing someone say "I hate reading!" as a key reason she began presenting at schools and libraries about reading. She became a Verizon Foundation Literacy Champion, presenting at the National Center for Family Literacy and the International Society for Technology in Education Conference (then the National Education Computing Conference) alongside famed voice actor James Earl Jones.
In her expanded role as a teacher (speaking to over 500 schools and classrooms around the world via video conferencing presentations), she realized the importance of bringing student voices to the proverbial "table" of education reform decisions. To this end, she is a strong supporter of Student Voice, a student-led organization advocating for students to be authentic partners in education, which hosts weekly Twitter chats using the hashtag #StuVoice (even making it to trending on Twitter, and catching the attention of Secretary Arne Duncan). Adora also promotes meaningful education technology use; in 2012, Adora collaborated with Google and the Family Online Safety Institute to produce the Teach Teachers Tech series.
Adora's work in the youth empowerment arena has taken the form of both public speaking and event organizing. In speeches at TED, IdeaCity, Ciudad de Las Ideas, and countless other events, Adora helped adult audiences grasp the importance of learning from children and young adults, whether in education or in daily life. After her TED Talk in 2010, Adora also began organizing the entirely youth-run event TEDxRedmond (where TEDx = independently organized TED event), where she would continue as director and curator until her fourth conference, in 2013. Over 1000 attendees flooded the conference venue in 2012. 100% of speakers at TEDxRedmond were under 20, and the speaker lineup achieved a perfect or near-perfect gender balance every year (a feat few large conferences for adults manage to accomplish).
A proud feminist, Adora has advocated for the inclusion of more women and girls in STEM and politics, written opinion pieces for the Huffington Post and Women's Media Center on gender issues, and delivered speeches (including one, introduced by Gloria Steinem, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC) for audiences of girls on promoting women's rights in the United States and around the world. Most recently, she keynoted at the Orange County Girls' Conference at UC Irvine. She has contributed to cultural analyses, including a Forbes article on the Sports Illustrated Barbie cover wrap controversy; Forbes' Denise Restauri profiled her with the headline "Is This 15-Year-Old the Next Gloria Steinem?"

After three years of runner-up finishes, the St. Michael-Albertville wrestling team had had enough.
The Knights had the stale taste of three consecutive championship-match losses to Apple Valley, and they were eager to get rid of the bitterness this season.
They were favored to do so, climbing to the No. 3 national ranking behind victories at the Minnesota Christmas tournament and The Clash duals. As for Apple Valley, a season of injuries and an unsettled lineup left the Eagles in position to fall to a runner-up status for the first time since 1996.
Each team got a share of what it wanted.
Late Thursday, Feb. 28,
St. Michael-Albertville and Apple Valley wrestled to a 28-28 tie in the Minnesota Class 3A championship match at the Xcel Energy Center. STMA needed decisions in the final two weights to forge the tie and earn its first big-school championship.
Apple Valley made a ferocious run in the middle weights in paving the way to an eighth consecutive state championship.
Because tiebreaking criteria aren't used in Minnesota State High School League championship matches, both wrestling powers will share the title and be left to wonder where they might have been able to find an elusive bonus point. Each team had seven victories in the 14-match dual. Each team also had bonus points in four matches.
It was about as even as you can get.
"There is some disappointment here, but hey, we are leaving with a state championship," said STMA coach Dan Lefebvre, who was near his quiet team. "That was one of our goals. We got it done."
The Knights did so by earning a 2-0 victory from heavyweight Michael Kessler in the final match. Apple Valley junior Lord Joshua Hyeamang earned a victory of sorts by losing that match by a simple decision. By not allowing Kessler, who is competing in the individual portion of the state tournament that begins Friday, to win by a major decision (eight points), technical fall (five points) or pin (six points), Hyeamang prevented the state championship from slipping out of the Eagles' grasp.
"I am disappointed I lost my match, but over time, I think it will sink in that I helped the team," Hyeamang said. "I am a lighter heavyweight, and I try to take quick shots and use my leverage to score and defend. I was hoping to win. Everything I did right now was for the team."
STMA won four of the first six matches to take a 19-7 lead after Cole Sladek was awarded a six-point injury default victory at 138. In the Knights' run was a 5-3 victory from Mark Voss over Seth Gross at 132. Gross was an individual champion last year and is favored to win this weekend.
But Apple Valley responded with a spirited four-victory run that turned a 12-point deficit into a 25-19 lead after Daniel Woiwor recorded a 2-0 decision over Jordan Joseph at 170.
"This whole year, we have called those middle weights 'murderer's row,' " said Woiwor, an Iowa State recruit. "That's where we made our move all season. We did it again here."
It wouldn't be surprising to see each team in the Class 3A final for the fifth consecutive time in 2014.
Apple Valley is loaded with youth, and STMA has a deep program with plenty of talent in the pipeline.
"The empire has not crumbled," Woiwor said. "We still have another championship."
Despite no jumping and high-fiving by the Knights, they have one, too.
"We'll take it," Lefebvre said.
Third place: Prior Lake won five of the first seven matches en route to a 34-21 victory over Owatonna for the third-place trophy. Owatonna did pull to within 18-12 after a decision by Tyler Sorenson at 160, but the Lakers responded with three consecutive victories to build a 34-12 advantage.
Consolation: Moorhead, in the tournament for the first time since 1981, used a five-match victory run in the upper weights to record a 34-22 win over Willmar. Tom Wychor, a 220-pounder, capped the 21-point run with a pin of Matt Hennes in 1:44.

To: Tony Snow
Press Secretary
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Tony,
Congratulations on becoming the new White House press secretary, and welcome to the neighborhood! I'm sure you took a pay cut to leave your job as a Fox News commentator, but at least you get taxpayer-funded trips to exciting locales. Has President Bush come up with a nickname for you yet? I sure hope it's better than the one Karl Rove got!
I must say, Tony, that I am concerned about your retirement. You're 51 years old, after all -- closer to retirement age than College Republican age. Yet during your first "press gaggle," you were asked if you maintained any financial ties to Fox News or its parent, News Corp.
Now, I'm sure you have other retirement savings. After all, you disclosed that you have a pension with the union to which you belonged, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA). But not signing up for a 401(k) could be, I'm sure you agree, a big mistake.
Hey, I understand. You're busy. And you're certainly not alone. The Employee Benefit Research Institute tells us that more than half of workers have less than $50,000 saved.
Yet signing up for a company retirement plan can take as little as 15 minutes. Plus -- and you'll love this, being a Republican and all -- it'll cut your tax bill, since contributions are essentially tax-deductible and your investments grow tax-deferred. (Doesn't it really boil your potatoes to think that not only did you not sign up for the 401(k) at Fox, but you also paid more taxes? If it makes you feel entitled to slip some White House pens into your pocket, I'll understand.)
So to get you up and running in your new job, I thought I'd send you a quick-and-easy set of three steps on how to sign up for your current retirement plan. Read my lips: This will take no more than 15 minutes.
1. Sign up for the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). The first thing you'll need to understand is that the federal government doesn't offer a 401(k), so don't go around asking for one. (You'll really get ribbed by Helen Thomas if you do.) Instead, Uncle Sam offers the Thrift Savings Plan, known to its security-clearanced friends as the TSP. It's a wonderful low-cost plan made up of a few index-based investment choices. Here's a link to the election form (that's the form you need to submit in order to have money diverted from your paycheck to your retirement plan; I promise, it doesn't involve butterfly ballots or hanging chads).
2. Choose an amount to save. The more, the better, of course. But if you really don't have any other retirement savings, then you need to be saving at least 20% of your salary if you want to retire by age 65 or so -- a third of your salary would be even better. If that would be too much for you right now, start with 10% and increase your contribution rate every time you get a raise. Just remember: The less you save now, the more you'll have to work later.
3. Choose your investments. This can be the toughest part for most Americans. After all, most of us weren't taught to be money managers by our schools or parents. So let me give you the quick lowdown.
Unless you can't tolerate 20% drops in the value of your portfolio, someone of your age should be invested mostly in stocks. A healthy dose of the TSP's S&P 500 index fund (a.k.a. the C fund) -- with big stakes in General Electric
Deciding how much to contribute to each of these funds -- plus the government securities (G Fund) and fixed-income (F Fund) choices -- can take some time. That's why I think "lifestyle" or "target retirement" funds are great options. They automatically allocate your assets, and automatically move to safer investments as you near retirement. There's nothing easier than automatic investing.
Luckily for you, the federal TSP does offer such options. The L2020 Fund sounds like it would be a good choice, since you'll be 65 in 2020. However, it's a conservative fund, which might at first sound appealing to a Republican like yourself, but actually means that it gets bond-heavy too fast. By the year 2020, it'll have 80% of its assets in fixed-income investments, leaving just 20% in stocks. That would leave your retirement vulnerable to inflation, since fixed-income investments don't keep up with the rising cost of living as well as stocks have historically done. So as long as you can stand the volatility of stocks, the L2030 fund might be better for you. It'll have approximately 58% of its assets in stocks when you're 65, a much more fair and balanced allocation.
That's all you need to know to get you going. If you want to learn more, I'll let you check out my Rule Your Retirement service for free. (Actually, anyone can take a 30-day free trial, so this isn't a special gift you'll have to report.)
So sign up for your retirement plan now! Like you, I'm a big proponent of the "ownership society." But for that to work, folks have to take the steps to own stuff that appreciates (i.e., investments) rather than stuff that depreciates.

P.S. Could I get invited to the "press gaggle"? I've never been to something with such a funny name, unless you count Winona, Minn. Or The Motley Fool.

4 Ways to Cleanse A Sluggish Liver Naturally : Building Up the Liver
For over a century natural medicine has known that enhancing liver function will treat many diseases. The purpose of the liver is to cleanse the blood of toxins originating from food, air and water. If liver function is sluggish, toxins begin building up in the blood, leading to many chronic health conditions over time. One common problem among women is the estrogen imbalance which is influence by several factors.
Even when the liver is working at optimum levels dismantling large amounts of estrogen is a challenging task. The side effects are manifest in debilitating and mood altering premenstrual tension. Other possible symptoms of a sluggish liver include headaches, fatigue, poor skin tone, dark circles under the eyes, arthritis, insomnia and a bitter taste in the mouth.
Common causes of a sluggish liver are aging, use of medications such as antibiotics, synthetic hormones, oral contraceptives and anti-ulcer drugs, exposure to heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium and a diet high in hydrogenated fats and sugars. Liver function can also be weakened due to the lack of needed nutrients. Existing health conditions are also a signal that the liver is not functioning properly.
The benefits of liver cleansing include increased energy and stamina, better concentration, increased resistance to sickness and disease, improves digestion, reduction in allergies and weight loss.
Here are the 4 best ways to cleanse the liver:
1) Eat Healthy - Consuming foods full of unhealthy fats and chemicals and beverages containing alcohol puts a tremendous strain on the liver. Instead, consume foods rich in fiber and other nutrients such as fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Foods most beneficial for liver health and cleansing include citrus fruits, broccoli, beets, cabbage, artichokes, apples, spinach, brown rice oat bran, onions, asparagus, tomatoes, garlic, celery, string beans, soy beans, kidney beans and radishes. Always drink plenty of water daily to allow kidneys to properly flush toxins from the body.
2) Juice Fasting - A quick and efficient way to detox the liver. The ideal juice combination contains beets, celery and carrots. Fasts should range from a few days to one week depending on the amount of detoxification necessary. Fast should be broken with 2 - 3 days of fruit, vegetables and brown rice.
3) Toxins accumulate in the fat and muscle cells. An effective way to mobilize these toxins is by sweating them out through the skin. The most effective way to accomplish this involves at least a 1/2 hour of exercise and sauna for a 2 week period. Consult with a health care professional familiar with detoxification before you begin.
4) Daily Supplements - A daily multivitamin can be added to support liver function. High doses of vitamin C ( at least 2000mg/daily) have been found effective in improving liver function. Taking an acidophilus supplement totaling 15 - 20 billion active cultures daily is also recommended. The most effective cleansing herbs include dandelion, licorice, milk thistle, bilberry, chicory root, burdock and astragalus. Other effective supplements are turmeric, artichoke leaf extract and wheat grass juice.
thanks for evry info i've read you all. my husband is a hepa b carrier and medication is very expensive. But we are hopeful that the virus will be flushed.
These are some great tips that I will have to try. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this.
The liver is important to every other functin of the body. Perhaps the most important thing we can do for overall health. Thanks for the easy-to-do info.
Very good informative hub. I have done these steps before, although I forgot about step 3. Thanks for the research.
Great hub Steve. I agree, it's just difficult for me to stick to it, but I have long enough to see results. Good job. I'm bookmarking this one.
I believe the current thinking is that the liver is self cleansing and does not need any other type of cleansing?
Awesome hub! I think we should always seek a natural way to do things--it keeps our immune systems healthy.
The liver is an organ we take for granted too much
Finally, I see a wheat grass benefit after seeing in the store all these years but I'll continue with the others.
Excellent tips, I shall pass this on to my Hubby as he is taking milk thistle to help repair his liver, but he may not know about many of these other options.
I use milk thistle a lot...also turmeric is high on my list...it is also an anti-inflammatory and anti-biotic.
Steve Great hub for the health.
Thanks for writing:0
Sharon Smith
I do number 4 regularly, Steve. It is great. I do not eat a lot of fat, but I do like fat in meat :-)

The same Adventurethon atmosphere you have grown to love, but a whole NEW course, guaranteeing fun, excitement and all the reward of competing in Adventurethon.
Imagine that feeling as you cross the finish line and you turn to your left as you see your best mate running across with you. The grin on his face beaming as the sweat and dirt drip off his nose. That first shared hand shake, which says 'yep, we made it'. You take a few steps and grab yourself a cold drink. Time to can sit, relax or grab something to eat, surrounded by music, cheering and encouragement of fellow Adventurethon athletes and their family and friends.
GET READY for a dirty, sweat drenching, mentally tough challenge on North Queensland's stunning Magnetic Island. Be prepared for another weekend jam packed FULL of action for the whole family! A 20 minute ferry ride from Townsville will take you a world away from the busyness of the city and into the stunning coastal arena of Magnetic Island.
Escape the concrete jungle and get your adventurous side recharged.
The humidity will slap you in the face like a wet fish…be prepared. Bring plenty of hydration and keep yourself cool as much as possible. This makes Magnetic Island one of the most challenging Adventurethon Destinations. But don't let this get to you, train & prepare yourself for your course to only achieve something that is more challenging!
The majority of Magnetic Island is untouched National Park and secluded beaches catering for a range of wildlife including rock wallabies, possums and variety of bird life, so keep your eyes peeled for a koala or two…no drop bears.
No matter the race you are doing, there is something to suit any fitness level, ability and confidence level. Be challenged, and have fun.
Adventurethon Magnetic Island hits TV!
Check out part 1 (below) of the Adventurethon Magnetic Island Documentary that was shown on TV!!
Thanks to Alana and Guy Andrews Adventure for their awesome snapshot of Adventurethon Magnetic Island with the Connolly Suthers Taste of Adventurethon and Sealink Juniors.

"When is a moose not a moose?" could be the first line of an elementary-school joke. In Richard T. Morris's "This Is a Moose," illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld, a moose is not a moose when he wants to be an astronaut. And in "Froodle," written and illustrated by Antoinette Portis, a little brown bird causes revolution — or is it evolution? — among her avian friends when she decides to say something other than "Peep!" Both books explore the amusing idea of animals having the kind of free will humans enjoy. By playing up the contrast between people and wildlife, Morris and Portis subtly encourage children to make their own choices, even when told they can't.
Morris ("Bye-Bye, Baby!") gives "This Is a Moose" an unexpected and lively structure. His premise is that a documentary film director, one Billy Waddler, is filming the Mighty Moose in his natural habitat. The moose, however, keeps going off script. Not only is he intent on becoming an astronaut, but his grandmother, who enters the scene in Take 2, confesses that she once wanted to be a lacrosse goalie. When the director corrects her from behind the camera, saying, "You can't be a lacrosse goalie — you're a moose," she replies in a most un-grandmotherly way: "Oh yeah? Go ahead, whip a shot in! I'll stiff you, sonny!" Morris builds up the joke until at last the director himself, voice of the status quo, is revealed to be none other than a duck. And since when can ducks be film directors?
Lichtenheld works with colored pencils, ink and gouache, in a style familiar from "Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site" and "Steam Train, Dream Train," creating woodland scenes popping with hand-lettered speech balloons, just right for reading aloud in silly voices. (What does a moose sound like? That's up to you.) Lichtenheld is a master of texture: His fir trees look spiky; the duck's beret has the soft thickness of felt; and the blue sky, with delicate variations in color, has the opacity of a northern morning as the fog begins to lift. Compare this with the average digitally colored picture book and your eyes can almost feel the difference.
At the beginning of "Froodle," set in a suburban backyard, the local animals all do exactly as expected: The dog says "Woof," the cat says "Meow," and the birds toe the line too, never altering their "Caws" and "Coos." But beginning with Little Brown Bird, each one in turn tries something new — even Crow, who's a bit of a bully, and Dove, who just wants everyone to get along. Portis has a clever ear: She finds many little puns to keep the story light and witty. "We'll mind our peeps and coos!" one bird vows, while another laments, "Lost caws."
Using pencil, charcoal and ink, with digitally applied color, Portis ("Not a Box") gives her illustrations a layered look, with contrasting expanses of flat color and more nuanced dappled and shaded areas describing trees, grass and shrubbery. In a few spreads she brings beautifully subtle coloration to her sunset skies. The animals, with the simple look of silk-screened figures, are heavily outlined in black, and appear superimposed on their backgrounds. These playful juxtapositions bring visual energy to the story, which is, after all, about delighting in difference.

While many countries are trying to wean themselves off expensive and dirty fossil fuel energy, much of the world is still waiting on any type of electricity. Some 1.4 billion people lack access to electricity, and rather than start them down the same path we're trying to get off, the hope is that they can forgo the journey and just relax at the renewable-energy finish line.
However, as one would expect, it's not as simple as installing huge wind and solar farms throughout parts of Africa and Asia. Most of the people in need of electricity live in rural areas, lacking infrastructure to connect to a power grid or the upfront money to install solar locally.
With this in mind, one company from Cambridge, U.K., developed an innovative, affordable way to deliver electricity to that 1.4 billion. Eight19, whose name comes from the eight minutes and 19 seconds it takes for light from the sun to reach Earth, created a way to harness solar power using an organic solar cell that is printed onto a flexible, plastic sheet that produces power for their their pay-as-you-go solar power system, IndiGo.
The entry-level IndiGo system includes a 3-watt solar panel, battery, two LED lamps, phone charging unit and module, all of which allows users to buy electricity using their mobile phone, and is available to customers for just $10.

Johnsongrass, the latest entry to the lengthening list of glyphosate-resistant weeds — in both Arkansas and Mississippi — was announced in mid-March. It is the first glyphosate-resistant warm-season grass found in the United States.
"We're not trying to push resistance in these weeds," says Bob Scott, Arkansas Extension weed specialist. "But there's close to 5 million acres of Roundup Ready crops that get two or three applications of Roundup every season. Plus, we're using Roundup as a burndown.
"It's inevitable that such weeds are produced. It's hardly a surprise."
Johnsongrass found in a Crittenden County soybean/wheat field is the fifth glyphosate-resistant weed discovered in Arkansas. The others: horseweed (also known as marestail), common ragweed, giant ragweed and Palmer amaranth, a pigweed.
The resistant Mississippi johnsongrass was found in the northern Delta, outside Clarksdale. Even though the weeds were both found last year, there is no known connection between the sites.
"We haven't found any other johnsongrass that worries me," says Trey Koger, Mississippi Extension soybean specialist. "Last year, we did look at some populations in Washington County. But when plants were brought to the greenhouse and screened, they proved susceptible. I think the initial control failures were a function of drought stress rather than herbicide resistance, thank goodness."
However, the Clarksdale-area johnsongrass is resistant and has received "a lot" of glyphosate over the last few years.
"From a weed control standpoint, all it's gotten in-season is glyphosate. And from what I understand, the Mississippi population may be more glyphosate-tolerant than the one in Arkansas."

Thanksgiving Menu Favorites
Here we are 3 days to Thanksgiving and I most of you have followed my lead and analyzed all the local sales so you could make your dinner without breaking the bank. I was disappointed by this years price on Turkeys but I was able to find some really good sales on the other items I needed for sides. I use almost the identical menu each year which not only makes purchasing for dinner easy but I know that my recipes are tried and true and will be loved by all. This is my traditional Thanksgiving menu and the recipes that make it so special.
Deep Fried Turkey
Deep Fried Smoked Turkey – This is the same as my regular fried turkey recipe just using a smoked turkey.
Sage Turkey Dressing – This is the most popular side.
Sweet Potato Casserole With Praline Topping – I don't need pie after eating this! Yumm
Mashed Potatoes
Giblet Cream Gravy
Buttered Corn – Frozen from my garden
Cranberry & Mandarin Orange blend – A can of whole cranberries and a can of Mandarin oranges mixed together and chilled.
Pecan Pie
Sour Cream Apple Pie
Hot Mulled Cider – This is a must for all my holiday get-togethers
I have the preparation of this meal down to a science after making it for 10 years. I bake all the pies the day before and I also make my turkey stock the day before. The turkeys need to be placed in their brine the day before also so that gives me access to my giblets for the stock. Once the stock is made I separate out the meat and giblets and refrigerate everything. I almost forgot about baking my sweet potatoes. I have tried boiling them and I don't think the end recipe has the same flavor or texture. I bake the sweet potatoes then skin them and throw them in the refrigerator until the next day. That leaves throwing together the sides on Thanksgiving morning and popping them in the oven just before you fry your turkeys. I can almost relax as long as I have my recipe check list on hand to see what has been done and what needs to be done. If I don't keep my checklist with my silly things like forgetting the rolls or mashed potatoes tend to happen.
My suggests to make Thanksgiving a no stress day for you is –
1. Plan your menu well in advance
2. Use tried and true recipes
3. Make a list of what needs to be done
4. Start the day before and do all the preparation you can
5. Sit back and enjoy your dinner
Enjoy Life!

Hello, I'm Harvi-Niks, please allow me to introduce the rest of the KwayzeKatz Team
Firstly, we have Dexter, a Black and Silver tabby Maine Coon
Next, we have Diesel, a Blue Smoke tabby Maine Coon
We also have Ambrose, half brother to Diesel, Ambrose is Cream tabby Maine Coon
Then we have the next three boys, Colby, Jensen and Morgan, they are all Maine Coon boys
Next, we have the two latest recruits to the feline test team, Hamish & Fergus, again little Maine Coon boys
Final member of the test team, is our "outside" man, Findlay who arrived as a small stray kitten, who liked it so much here, he decided to stay. When Findlay arrived he was found in the back garden in a 'nest' he had made under a tree. Findlay is extremely choosy about who he allows to pet him, as he is still quite timid.
Finally, we have our two human slaves, Sandra & Ian, who do all the menial tasks.
We the KwayzeKatz team look forward to providing your felines with the best specialised Catnip, Silvervine and valerian cat toys. We hope to provide delight for both you and your cats.

The calculation of phase shift and optical path difference in birefringent media is related to a wide range of applications and devices. We obtain an explicit formula for the phase shift introduced by an anisotropic uniaxial plane-parallel plate with arbitrary orientation of the optical axis when the incident wave has an arbitrary direction. This allows us to calculate the phase shift introduced by waveplates when considering oblique incidence as well as optical axis misalignments. The expressions were obtained by using Maxwell's equations and boundary conditions without any approximation. They can be applied both to single plane wave and space-limited beams.

Renewable energy
It is a hope that animates many a scientist, consumer and politician. Renewable energy delivers the convenience of a modern lifestyle without polluting the environment. Driving would not contribute to things like smoggy skies or global warming. It would also be fantastic to be able to build a power plant knowing that it wouldn't sully the land it is built on. Equally gratifying is to have the ability to meet energy needs to protect wild species, whether endangered or secure. Anyone, no matter their feelings about environmental issues, would jump at the chance to take advantage of reliable alternatives to the "fossil fuels" of coal and oil, turning them into true fossils, mere relics of the less advanced, less enlightened past. For a country like Guyana, renewable energy is more than an environmental option. It is a critical economic choice that influences quality-of-life issues.
Renewable Options
However, with current technological capabilities, renewable energy as the sole power source is nothing more than idealism at this point in time. No nation — not even the United States — can hope to foster its development, certainly in the short-run, in this manner. Many options for low-carbon energy exist. In addition to nuclear energy, there are options such as geothermal energy, biomass, and the more popular alternatives in the form of solar, wind, and hydroelectric. Getting to the point of inflection where renewable energy supersedes fossils is far more complicated than meets the eye. Where nuclear energy is concerned, there are issues of waste disposal and global security; following the recent summit in Washington, this option is being denounced or abandoned by several countries. Geothermal energy requires an intense source of heat in the ground similar to what could be found in a volcano — indeed, the best geothermal sources are also volcanic. Biomass and its various combinations do not independently produce as much energy as other sources do and appears best suited to small scale operations.
Where Guyana is concerned, the choices for beefing up the national grid seem to favour solar, wind and hydroelectric. These choices are not new and have often been talked about as part of Guyana's long-term economic and environmental protection strategy. Though the cost savings over the long-run are well understood, very little progress has been achieved. The technology exists, but putting these energy sources in place keeps eluding Guyana. The reasons for this failure are unclear, but making any of these options a reality could be circumscribed as much by economics as by technology.
Discussing the three options of solar, wind, and hydroelectric might offer some explanation of the challenges facing Guyana. At first glance, solar seems like a good candidate: Guyana is on the equator, so it receives a lot of sunlight. It lacks the drastic temperature changes of temperate climates, so this sunlight will not vary too strongly in intensity, though it will have to contend with the wet season. Guyana's population is small — not even one million — and the fertility rate is slowly but steadily falling, meaning that electrical consumption will be relatively low. Additionally, powering houses in Guyana is easy; a few solar panels would suffice for an average-sized home.
However, none of this takes into account what would be required to get enough power out of solar cells to perform any serious development. The aim of development is not to merely power homes; it is to provide the base power for an industrialized, modern society, and solar is not yet ready to deliver in a cost effective manner on this front. The nuclear fusion reaction that produces the energy in the first place happens about 93 million miles away; by the time it reaches Earth, it becomes substantially weakened. Thus, the only way to gather an appreciable amount of energy from such a diffuse source would be to snag more of it — and that means larger solar arrays that would take up significant amounts of land and money. In financially rich USA, solar accounts for less than 0.01% of total energy consumption, cost being the primary reason. It is possible to rebut this by citing Guyana's small population size; however, not only is Guyana's population still expected to grow, but energy usage by the country would grow as well as it becomes more technological and more modern and tries to provide for the growing demand.
Alternatives to Solar
Wind power suffers from similar problems, but worse, even though it is the fastest growing source of alternative energy. The attractiveness of wind power is that it incurs no water use, no fuel costs and produces no emissions. Wind doesn't blow at a constant speed, and it doesn't blow all of the time. Wind energy can be understood in terms of force and velocity which play a big part in providing that energy. It is not possible to increase the wind's velocity at will, making it necessary to increase the mass by grabbing more wind. That requires building windmills. Air particles are not very massive, and even very large wind farms, such as the one in the Irish Sea, only generate 520 megawatts when the wind is blowing. Surplus wind power cannot be stored, and to make matters worse, transporting the necessary materials to build and maintain the windmills would require large amounts of oil — a fossil fuel. Fitting it into the national grid is a problem, thus wind alone cannot power Guyana's development either.
The most realistic solution would be to build a hydroelectric dam on one of the active waterfalls amidst the complex of many rivers that underpins Guyana's name. Several sites for such a project are under consideration in various parts of Guyana's forested regions. Like wind, hydroelectricity generates energy from mass and velocity, and several of the waterfalls in Guyana have a lot of both. Hydroelectricity is a very popular form of alternative energy and projects in developing countries like Guyana receive substantial support from multilateral financial institutions. However, hydroelectricity comes at a cost. It would not only destroy the scenic view that provides enjoyment to tourists, it would also alter the flow of the river by backing up a lot of water, flooding out the surrounding forest and displacing people and wildlife.
This most favourable choice encounters an internal conflict: Guyana advocates a low-carbon development strategy that is intended to save the forests and prevent carbon emissions. Yet, installing a hydroelectric facility would destroy the surrounding forest, exchanging one environmental problem for another. Unwittingly, the preferred form of development seems to be turning on itself. The question that faces Guyana is whether it wants to sacrifice some of its forest or emit more carbon by building standard power plans.
In today's energy and environmentally conscious world, the decision is not easy. If Guyana is to develop into something more than what it is, it will need to make the trade-offs and hard choices necessary to do so.

Is Laminate Flooring Right For Me
Is Laminate Right For Me?
So youre thinking about buying a laminate floor to transform a room or even your entire home, office or business. Now all you have to do is decide if laminate is right for your purposes. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of laminate to help you decide.
Advantages of Laminate
Pine Laminate Flooring
Yes, laminate looks good and is made to mimic the look of wood or stone or tile. Yes, its durable because it resists scratches and stains. And laminates can be priced perfectly to suit your needs. There are many reasons why a laminate floor might be perfect for you.
Laminate Flooring is Durable. Laminate is much stronger, more scratch-resistant and more durable than hardwood, vinyl or carpet. It is protected by a tough external layer and resin coating, making it compatible in houses where there are pets and children.
Easy To Install. Laminate is a lot easier to install than other floor types. Why? Because the boards are designed to interlock making them easy to work with. Laminate can be floated over most existing floors, saving significant installation time over other types of flooring which may need to be glued, stapled or nailed down. Over two-thirds of laminate is glueless click, further saving on installation time and cost. Its so easy to install, most people can do it themselves.
An Economical Choice. Laminate flooring is relatively less expensive than most flooring options available in the market and yet does not fall short when it comes to form and function. There is a laminate flooring choice for every price range.
Wide Choice of Quality. There are ways you can tailor your laminate flooring choice to your exact needs. If you have a truly high traffic situation like a retail store or another type of business, you can choose to spend more money on a thicker laminate with a higher AC Rating. Conversely, if you just want a nice living room floor and your living room will never see the kind of foot traffic a retail store will, you dont have to spend money on thickness or a higher AC Rating. Instead, you can concentrate on getting the look youre after.
Wide Variety of Styles. Laminate flooring is sold in a wide variety of wood, stone and tile finishes. All of these are available in different colors, surface treatments, thicknesses and plank styles.
Solid Warranties. Most laminate floors come with great warranties against wear, staining and fading. In other words, the manufacture is guaranteeing that their wear layer will stand up to years of use. You may even find some laminates with warranties against moisture meaning that their product is guaranteed to stand up to use in areas like basements and kitchens, etc although bathrooms are usually out of the question.
Easy to Clean and Maintain. Laminate floorings moisture and stain resistant surface makes cleaning of spills easy. There are no special cleaners needed to keep a laminate floor in top shape. Daily sweeping is all you need.
Environmentally-Friendly. According to the North American Laminate Flooring Association. Since it is made from paper, laminates manufacture does not involve the harvesting of hardwoods as does that of wood flooring. Unlike some carpet, laminate does not contain significant quantities of some elements that affect indoor air quality. And when a laminate floor is easily replaced, it can be destroyed with no danger to the environment.
Hypoallergenic Qualities. Since there are no places to trap dust and other particles that can cause allergies for some people, laminate flooring is a great choice. The underlayment provides a moisture barrier that not only protects the floor from damage, but also prevents molds forming and sporing.
Disadvantages of Laminate
Not for Every Use. Laminates cant go everywhere. For instance, it is not recommended to install a laminate floor in areas where there is a great deal of moisture. Outdoors? No, never. Basement? Yes, within reason. Dont install it in a laundry room or bathroom where there may be wet objects or accidents with water are likely to occur. Check here for more where to install it dos and donts .
Laminates are built to be moisture resistant but not waterproof. The well-sealed wear layer of laminates easily tolerate damp mopping etc, but once moisture finds its way along the edges, underneath the surface layer or into the locking system, warping and swelling can ruin your floor.
Wood Like But Not Real Wood. Laminates are not solid wood. So they will sound and feel slightly differently underfoot. If you want the acoustics of real hardwood under your bare feet, laminate is probably not the right choice for you, unless you opt for a thick board such as 12mm or 14mm. Additionally, because laminates are floating rather than attached to the sub-floor as hardwood floors are, there will always be a slight gap between the laminate and the subfloor—even with the underlayment. Thats why laminates tend to sound different than wood. You can ask for thicker underlayment to minimize this effect but a laminate floor will never sound exactly the same as hardwood. Some people dont mind at all whereas for others that is reason enough to bypass laminates altogether. You have to decide for yourself.
Where Can Laminate Floors Be Installed / Not Installed?
Laminate wood floors are extremely versatile flooring products. A laminate floor installation can be done in almost every room of your home, above or below ground, over wood or concrete. Most of the floor manufacturers market their laminate floors as an install anywhere product.
You can even install laminate on stairs without underlayment but youll need to ensure it meets your local building code. Are you looking for a laminate that will be compatible with your radiant heated floors? Its possible to find one but make sure its the right one—check with the manufacturers recommendations.
Dont install laminates in bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, saunas, enclosed porches, verandas or anywhere that may require wet mopping. Use common sense to keep laminates away from copious amounts of water.

Planet Peer - The anonymous networking community...because anonymity is better ;-)
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Dear all,I've just created a new "branch" in the SVN repository (https://gnunet.org/svn/gnunet/) which contains about 50 kLOC towards an implementation of GNUnet using a radically new architectural redesign. The code there only has TCP support and no real applications, but basic (encrypted) messaging between peers is working. In other words, this is not useful for anyone but developers and those interested in contributing to the discussion as to how the code should evolve. Note that development on the existing 0.8.x-branch is expected to continue (albeit at a slower pace) for a while. Once we've sorted out the quirks in the new tree, moving existing applications from 0.8.x to 0.9.x should not be too much work.I want to briefly state the main advantages that the new architecture will provide:1) Fault isolation. We're using more processes, literally replacing all threads, which will ensure that if one component crashes it doesn't take the whole system down -- and we can tell *which* component is responsible, as opposed to component A corrupting memory and the code crashing in component B. Also, 1000 lines of locking code can disappear.2) Language independence. Since plugins into the framework run as independent processes, it will be easier to contribute to GNUnet using languages other than C/C++.3) We're also addressing various long-standing API and protocol issues, including more consistent naming conventions, better support for multi- homing and IPv6.A more detailed rationale describing not only what changed but also why can be found in the repository at https://gnunet.org/svn/gnunet/RATIONALE. Happy hacking!Christian

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the very recently opened Cyril's tasting room/Clay Pigeon Winery at 815 SE Oak. It's helmed by a couple, Michael Claypool and Sasha Davies, who switched their careers to follow their true passions, wine (him) and cheese (her). After basically haunting their favorite artisanal businesses (the couple has bounced around New York and California before landing here) until internships or jobs materialized, it didn't feel right for their venture not to have an educational element. To that end they've pioneered a type of "wine school," wherein you're presented with several types of wine and cheese and invited to mix and match pairings—they appreciate the fact that everyone's palate is unique, and de-emphasize the notion of the "perfect pairing." The idea is to be more exploratory, and to help you define what your own preferences are, so that you can walk up to the cheese/wine counter with some useful information to better ensure your own happiness/flavor success.
The space itself is vast and attractive, with patched wood walls and ambient lighting. They just began offering a happy hour menu for the after-work crowd (because why not wait out the horrorshow of making your way east between 5 and 7 pm) to get your feet wet with small plates and a range of local and international pours. (Soon to come are their own bottles, produced literally in the other room, and take-home growlers) The whole concept of a wine bar reads as pretentious and expensive, but Michael and Sasha are as approachable, earnest, and nerdy in their fascination with their goodies of choice as your favorite salt monger or meat curer. It was inevitable in Portland culture that urban wineries would become a thing, and while it may not be as cost effective as, say, neighboring dive fave the Slammer, it's a pleasant, big-kid respite.
Did I mention that Davies is a huge cheese geek? If you love cheese, you need to have a conversation with this woman. She just published her second book, The Cheesemaker's Apprentice, containing tutorials alongside engaging interviews with international cheese experts. The night I was there she was getting ready to crack into a 55-pound block of English cheddar worth about $1,000. That, my friends, is how these people roll.

Olympic Moms
August 8, 2012
When you think of an Olympian, what comes to mind? Podiums, flags, cheering crowds and gold medals.
How about diapers and pacifiers and screaming babies?
Many athletes struggle with the demands of their sport; many women struggle to balance the demands of motherhood. To manage both seems a task beyond words but that is exactly what close to a dozen women have been doing this spring and summer to prepare for the Olympic Games in London. These are the Olympic Moms.
For the past four and a half years, I have been talking about a personal project documenting these Olympic Moms. For the past 3 months, I have working with an amazing team in Danielle Elliot and Kerry Caiafa and have been shooting the project. It was worth the wait!
From the first shoot in Colorado Springs, Colorado with Army Captain, Olympic pentathlon hopeful and new Mom, Mickey Kelly, it has truly been one of the most remarkable journeys of my professional career. I spent over 14 hours with Mickey and her family on our "day in the life" coverage of her quest to make it to London for the Olympic Games. 14 hours! I dont normally get 14 minutes for my shoots!
From Colorado, it was on to Pennsylvania to meet up with Laura Kraut and her 14 year old son Bobby at the Devon Horse Show. This Olympic Mom won gold in Beijing and was hoping to repeat the honors in London. Keli Smith Puzo, a US field hockey player, also competed in Beijing but since that time, she has had 2 kids. We spent the day with her and her sons Xavi and Ian as Keli trained at the University of Maryland.
With three shoots under our belt, we head west to California for an Olympic Moms marathon; 5 moms in 6 days. First was a member of the Womens USA Basketball Team – Candace Parker and her little one Lailaa. We spent almost a full day with this dynamic duo and then met up with archer Khatuna Lorig and her son, junior archer Levan Onishvili. Keep an eye out for this mother, son team in Brazil in 2016; they are hoping to be the first parent child pair to compete together. Lashinda Demus was just off a plane when she met up with us. She then went the extra mile to do an interview at the track where she trains on what should have been an off day. Tayyiba Haneef-Park and Danielle Scott-Arruda welcomed us to a July 4th picnic where these Olympic Moms spent the afternoon with their little ones.
The hospitality and generosity of each of these Olympic Moms was truly astounding and it is something for which I am truly thankful.
We are pulling for you ladies – Bring home the Gold!

Ghana Council of Shia Ulama donated food items to needy people
SHAFAQNA – The Council of Shia Ulama (CSU) in Ghana has donated food items to the Osu Children's Home and the Accra Psychiatric Hospital to mark the fifth anniversary of the death of Sheikh Abdul Salam Bansi, the Founder of Shia in Ghana.
The Leader of the CSU, Sheikh Suleman Yakubu Bandawe, said it had always been the character of the late founder to help the poor and needy when he was alive.
"We have pledged to emulate his character and share his philosophy in the world, even though he has gone to his Creator," he said.
The Public Relations Officer of the CSU, Sheikh Iddriss Dumah, on behalf of the group, donated 15 bags of rice and four boxes of cooking oil to the children's home, while the hospital received 10 bags of rice and five boxes of cooking oil.
He called on other institutions to assist the government in taking care of institutions, especially by donating toiletries and food items to them.
"It is not the desire of the inmates to be here and so we need to collectively support them in any little way we can," he said.
The Assistant Manageress of the Osu Children's home, Madam Dorothy Pearl Kumah, commended the group for the love and care extended to her outfit and asked Allah to increase their blessing.
"May the blessing of the Good Lord be with the late Sheikh Bansi and the entire Shia family in Ghana and the world over," she said.
For his part, the Head of the Nursing Division of the Accra Psychiatric Hospital, Mr Emmanuel Pappoe, said the donation had come at the right time because it was faced with challenges in feeding inmates.
"Our debtors have stopped providing us with food because we owe them," he explained.

Fears are that the country is running out of time and money heightening. While the Greece situation is at the back of investors' minds somewhere, a well-balanced Fed has continued to drive global equities. The Fed has done well to supress the greenback while keeping equities stable in the interim. Perhaps a slight miss in CPI also contributed to the price action particularly as the Fed has reinforced its data-dependency. Fedspeak will start to ramp up now with John Williams and Loretta Mester speaking later today. On the Greece front the key eurogroup meeting has been and gone with no agreement reached. This means there is now no chance Greece will make the €1.5 billion payment to the IMF this month. There is now an emergency leaders' summit on Monday (Tuesday Asia time) on Greece but one wonders exactly what this is looking to achieve. For the time being though, there is no stopping capital outflows as panic sets in. Greece is reportedly now looking for the ELA cap to be raise by €3 billion just to keep the lights on.
Kiwi the big mover
With the US dollar index at a one month low, there are some interesting fx moves taking place at the moment. Naturally, EUR/USD is one of the more closely watched at the moment given the uncertainty on Greece. Traders eyeing shorts will have to be really patient here and wait for a clear confirmation of a change in trend. Meanwhile, NZD/USD dropped to the lowest level since July 2010. NZD is looking like it is the whipping boy at the moment and is under pressure in all crosses. After yesterday's GDP miss (growing at the lowest rate in 2 years), calls for a back to back cut are heightening. Remember last year the RBNZ tightened by a whopping 100 basis points. This is now starting to look a bit premature but we do know the RBNZ does not hesitate to act. There will be questions around whether all of last year's tightening will be unwound this year. Goldman Sachs is now calling for three more rate cuts from the RBNZ this year on top of the 25 basis points we've already had. While NZD/USD is usually the key currency pair to watch in NZD crosses, there have also been plenty of opportunities playing the kiwi against the AUD and GBP. AUD/NZD came within striking distance of $1.1300, remember the pair was near parity just two months ago. Traders will be looking to buy pullbacks as the pair seems a bit overbought at the moment. GBP/NZD rallied to $2.3000 and the pair was at $1.9300 just two months ago.
Firmer open for Europe
The ASX 200 continues to play the range and after a poor performance yesterday, managed to pop back into the top end of the range today, testing 5600. There is a good chance we could see some traders being sceptical about the gains in this region. A combination of a dovish Fed and a weaker greenback has given some commodities a bit of a tailwind with oil and gold both rallying. This has underpinned the energy sector today and some of the materials as well. Looking ahead to European trade we are calling the major bourses firmer with no significant data releases on the calendar. No doubt traders will remain on Greece watch though.

Ryan Kwanten: Spice Up Your Love Life with My 'G-Strategy'
True Blood's Ryan Kwanten is writing his own self-help book, The G-Strategy!
The 33-year-old Aussie actor shared with Access Hollywood that he's been writing a book for both men and women that's expected to be out "early-mid next year".
"I gave it to a couple of my friends and they've got back to me sort of a week or two later, saying, 'Oh my God, Ryan! Where did you get [the book]?'" Ryan shared.
"I didn't tell them that I wrote it, and they got back to me a week or two later saying, 'Oh my God! This is really helping me out.' One of my friends said his sex life has never been better, they've just taken it as gospel."

Peter Andre gets his skates on for fun festive day out with his little ones
Peter Andre did just that this week during a trip to Winter Wonderland with his children from his marriage to Katie Price, Princess and Junior.
Although the youngsters looked unsteady on their feet, dad was there to make sure their were no tumbles on the ice.
Pete, who was accompanied by a group of pals, also took his two-year-old daughter for a slide down a helter skelter, before riding the merry-go-round.
Father and daughter then rejoined four-year-old Junior and the rest of the group to warm up with some hot chips.
Thirty-six-year-old Pete has been locked in a custody battle with Katie over who will get the kids this festive season.
They reportedly agreed that Katie is to have them on Christmas Day, while Pete will take them to Australia for the New Year.
But writing in his magazine column this week, Pete said he didn't know what the arrangement was.
"I want to be with my children at Christmas, but I honestly don't know at this point what's happening, which is madness."

In an attempt to stick to my New Year's resolution of losing 10 pounds, I joined a local gym with an indoor basketball court. After a few days on the court, a couple of slips, and a nearly sprained ankle, it became painfully obvious that I was in need of new basketball shoes.
Whenever it comes time to replace my sneakers or add to my growing collection of gym clothes, I like to start by browsing available deals and checking for sales on sites like FootLocker.com. Often, by using a Foot Locker promo code, you can get an even better deal than the sale price. Below we'll show you how to navigate the sales at Foot Locker and use promo codes to save big on your next buy.
1. Foot Locker Sales? Sitewide Deals Can Save You More

Save big with these storewide Foot Locker deals:

2. Clearance Shoes & More at the FootLocker.com Outlet
The "Sale" section on the Foot Locker site makes it easy it is to find what you're looking for. You can easily narrow your results by the product type, whether it's shoes, clothing, accessories, or equipment. Plus, the site allows you to sort by brand name, price range, color, which sport the shoes or equipment are for, and whether the product is only available online.
Sometimes, Foot Locker will offer additional savings on specific items, and when that happens you can bet we've got your back with the codes to make it happen.See today's Foot Locker deals »
New generations of sneakers are always reaching Foot Locker shelves, which means they have to make room with clearance sales and extra promotions on top of advertised outlet deals. These kinds of offers create great opportunities to save a lot on high-quality shoes.
3. Save $10 on a $50 Purchase When You Join VIP
Foot Locker rewards its loyal customers with a free VIP program that includes a birthday discount and other perks throughout the year, including early access to select products and invitations to exclusive events.

4. Sign Up for Email Exclusives So You Don't Miss a Deal
Another way you can stay tuned to the store's deals is by going to the bottom of the Foot Locker home page and signing up for their "Email Newsletter." The best part about the email list is, instead of constantly checking the Foot Locker sales page, you'll receive updated details about sales and other offers directly in your inbox.
Now You Never Have to Pay Full Price for Shoes
By making the most of Foot Locker sales and other discounts, I was able to snag my sneakers at a real steal. To my surprise, after trying out the new sneakers, I still couldn't dunk a basketball. Genetics might be more to blame than the shoes.
Now that you know all of the ways to save money at Foot Locker, it's time to get shopping. Remember to check our Foot Locker page often because we are always adding new offers that can help you save more, regardless of what might be on sale.
