U.S.A. family organically grown pinto beans and organic Lundberg California short grain brown rice, mildly seasoned with organic vegetables, organic herbs, and Eden sea salt. Expertly cooked at our certified organic, kosher cannery. Whole grain and beans together deliver complete protein. Low fat, low sodium, and a good source of healthy fiber, magnesium, and zinc. A no compromise time saver. Ready to eat, just heat, stir, and serve. A meal in minutes, just add vegetables or a salad. Great for quick rice and bean burritos. In bisphenol-A (BPA) free lined cans. Gluten free. pareve
Eden Organic Rice & Pinto Beans are made with the finest certified organic ingredientsin grown in nutrient rich vital soil, on U.S.A. family farms by those committed to cleansing the environment and growing the most nutritious, safe food. The only cooked and canned organic pinto beans and organic short grain brown rice in this hemisphere.
At Eden's certified organic kosher cannery, organic pinto beans are soaked overnight and blanched. The beans are combined with organic short grain brown rice, organic onion, organic garlic, and a bit of mineral rich Eden Sea Salt, then expertly cooked with purified water.
Eden Organic Rice & Beans are packed in steel cans coated with a baked on oleoresinous c-enamel that does not contain the endocrine disrupter chemical, bisphenol-A (BPA). Oleoresin is a natural mixture of an oil and a resin extracted from various plants, such as pine or balsam fir. These cans cost 14% more than the industry standard cans that do contain BPA. The can maker, Ball Corporation, tells us that Eden is the only U.S. food maker to date to use these BPA free cans and we have been since April 1999.
Scientists at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University say, "Whole grains help regulate blood sugar by slowing down the conversion of complex carbohydrates into sugar. In fact, low-glycemic index foods such as whole grains reduce hunger and can help to control weight." Scientists at the Agriculture Research Service completed a study of more than 2,000 people concluding, "at least three or more servings of whole grain foods everyday could reduce the chances of developing metabolic syndrome - a condition marked by a combination of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, low HDL 'good' cholesterol and high blood fats."
According to the FDA, "Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers," "Low fat diets rich in fiber-containing grain products, fruits, and vegetables may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors," and "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Rice & Pinto Beans are low fat, saturated fat free, cholesterol free, a good source of dietary fiber and low in sodium. They are also a good source of phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc.
Studies show beans contain a wealth of antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of healthy compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Beans are an important source of two essential amino acids not found in cereals, lysine and threonine. Whole grains complement beans and together deliver complete protein. Enjoying a variety of beans in combination with whole grain is a good step toward healthy eating.
Just heat, stir, and serve. For soups and stews, simply add a variety of fresh vegetables, water or stock, adjust the seasoning if desired, and simmer until the vegetables are tender. A great filling for burritos topped with salsa.

Dream jobs turn sour for ambitious DJs
Before this week, chances are you'd never heard of Michael Christian and Mel Greig. But the pair are no strangers to controversy and difficult times.
- Live coverage: reaction to Jacintha Saldanha's death
- We did not break the law: radio boss
- Opinion: Why this prank crossed the line
- Advertisers abandon 2DayFM
- Prankster no stranger to controversy
- Poll: Has your opinion of prank changed?
- Twitter abuse hurled at DJs
- Prime Minister offers condolences
When someone you interview suicides
- Prank kept playing for hours after death
- Nurse prank victim found dead
UP UNTIL Friday night, radio host Michael Christian had been bragging about the notoriety he and his co-host Mel Greig had garnered for their royal prank.
''The only bad thing about our Royal Prank and [sic] is knowing that I will NEVER EVER top this,'' he told his Facebook friends. ''Less than a week in the job & I've already peaked.''
But that was only the beginning. While the original radio prank caused worldwide headlines, it was after the death of prank victim and nurse Jasintha Saldanha that the story really escalated, becoming front page news in every UK national paper, and earning the ire of tens of thousands on social media.
Christian had just this week begun his 2DayFM career, following a rise through the ranks of smaller radio stations.
His career started at a small community radio station in his regional hometown of Gilgandra in northern NSW. He then nabbed a job at Newcastle station NXFM, becoming afternoons announcer and later anchoring breakfast. He moved to Sea FM on the central coast and then to Austereo's 92.9 in Perth. After a stint in Melbourne, he started his 2Day FM Hot 30 Countdown gig in early December where he joined Mel Greig.
''With my skills as social media specialist here at the Fox I'm hoping to do things on the hot30 that have never been done before,'' Christian told a radio news website this month.
He was no stranger to controversy, however.
Just a fortnight ago he made global headlines as the man responsible for causing a near mutiny aboard pop star Rihanna's private jet for his incessant harmonica playing.
With 200 journalists from around the world aboard Rihanna's seven countries in seven days promotional plane ride, Christian and his harmonica made international headlines after his interminable playing drove fellow passengers to despair.
Website Gawker reported: "Some Australian guy on the plane was playing a harmonica, which is internationally recognised as grounds for justified homicide." MTV reporter Maude Deitch Tweeted: "This Australian motherf***er with the harmonica on the plane is about to get murked."
At the time he relished in the notoriety, actively promoting the controversy he had created and embracing the subsequent media attention by promoting it via social media.
Christian's counterpart, Greig scored her 2DayFM co-host role in March, days before her 30th birthday, and declared she was ''the luckiest girl in the world''.
Ms Greig's dream was to "lick chocolate syrup off Usher's abs… and get mongst his sexiness" she said about her new Sydney job.
For five years before that she had racked up radio experience and listener loyalty in her home city Adelaide.
She is dating North Adelaide footballer Steven Pollock and things became more serious when he packed his bags and moved to Sydney last month.
She has always had a passion for radio, running classes at the Australian Radio School with radio presenter Sean Craig Murphy.
In 2011 Ms Greig was a contestant on The Amazing Race with her younger sister Alana Munday, where she revealed she had run away from home at 15 and her family had in recent years began to heal.
Since Ms Saldanha's death, both pranksters have gone to ground, removing their Twitter accounts and having been ordered by their employer not to answer questions.
They have also been pulled off air, with no indication when - or if - they will return.
Christian's Facebook messaging could well prove prescient.

Another thing that's lasted longer than I would have expected is this blog. I started it in late April of 2008, and clearly did not expect anyone to actually read it, let alone comment and form a tiny, hateful, wonderful little group. We've had about 520 posts on this blog, some of which have been thousands of words long, which is astounding. This is an especially fitting time for reflection, as I started this blog right around comic 400. That means that at this point, half of all xkcd comics have a coressponding xkcdsucks post. Well, technically I started with comic 409, so it's not half until comic 818. But you have to give me a nine comic not-giving-a-fuck margin of error.
In any case, I promised a big announcement, and despite my past history of vile lies, this time I was being serious: I'm going to be making a whole bunch of changes around here. I'm not quite going to stop xkcdsucks or get rid of it, but it's also not going to continue as it has been. Instead, I want to try a new website - a site about webcomics in general, though with the same critical-but-fair attitude I've developed here over the years.
I've been thinking about this for a while, and actually, Person #1 and Aloria helped me set up the url and wordpress structure, and I've posted a handful of things on it already (some of it was also crossposted here, like book reviews). I didn't tell anyone about it though; I figured that I could have it running in the background until I was ready to announce it.
So why am I doing this? There are a few reasons, of course. The idea of getting away from Blogger.com has been around for a while - people particularly hate the comment box, and given that that's how all of you interact with me and everyone else, it seems pretty important. Not important enough that I did anything about it, of course, but still: the idea was there.
When I first started blogging here, I was doing it out of a frustration I no longer feel. That's not to say xkcd has gotten better, of course - in fact, it's gotten worse. But some things have changed: When I started, it was because I felt like no one else seemed to realize that xkcd was getting so terrible. It was just frustrating to feel like I was the only one who "got it", which I know is a super pretentious thing to say, but it's how I felt. I was hoping that someone else online had come to the same conclusion, so naturally I googled "xkcd sucks." I didn't find much. So I decided it was up to me. I had some brief experience with blogger.com, so I set up an account and started posting.
I truly don't know what gave me the energy to keep going at first. But after a few weeks, a man named Jonathan Harford left some encouraging comments, and apparently, that was all I needed. The idea that someone not only agreed with me but that he wanted to talk about it, well, that was simply lovely. The summer of 2008 saw the first real rise in readership, and it's also when a lot of the regulars around here got involved. FUN FACT: You guys know rob? The guy who comments all the time and is good at arguing but bad at posting, and is rumored to weigh over 350 pounds? The one who is basically an ideological xkcd hater? He started out as a total xkcd fanboy! Here's the first comment he left on this blog, in its entirety:
Veritably cuddly.
Honestly, and I'm not saying this out of spite or anything, I don't think you're going to manage to convince anyone that XKCD sucks or is overrated through this blag. I also think you're probably analyzing it too much. I couldn't really tell you why the "in popular culture" one was funny, but I laughed at it. It's kind of an absurd notion. Like most humor, when you really analyze it, it fails to stand up.
Have you ever read a Wikipedia article on a joke? Any kind of joke, really. I, for one, have never found humor to be more boring than in the context of analysis.
And of course, There Are No New Ideas. I am of the opinion that people ought to be slapped every time they criticize something because it's been done before. Originality is for bad thrillers (and they still don't manage).
GUYS: HE EVEN USED THE WORD "BLAG." what a goddamned nerd.
Anyway - the audience grew slowly but steadily. Here, you can follow along: my google analytics from september 2008 (when I first started tracking) through today. The biggest spikes are based off prominent links and also one particularly terrible comic.
It's been very weird to go from 50-60 visits a day to the point where 2000 visits would be a bad day. Very weird indeed.
So here's what's different now: I'm not the only one who thinks xkcd sucks. There are you guys, certainly, and I love you all for it. But even elsewhere - it's far more common to hear people say that xkcd is getting a lot worse. I no longer feel like I'm doing anyone a favor by having this blog. That alone, though, wouldn't be enough to stop - I truly do enjoy this sort of thinking and this sort of writing, and the practice is certainly good even if no one is reading. And recently, that's dropped off too - the overarching problem with most recent xkcd comics is not that they are terrible but that they are boring. It's not fun to write about. A lot of the problems in the new comics are the exact same problems as in old comics, so to criticize them properly would be to merely repeat myself. That's not fun.
At the same time, I'm reading tons of other comics. I link to them when I can, but usually the amount of time I spend on xkcd crowds out the rest of the stuff. I want to spend more time reading new comics and writing reviews of those, or writing more book reviews, or interviews. And I want to have a few more voices represented, not just mine.
But all this I had decided long ago - the problem was, I still felt like xkcdsucks should continue too, and I didn't have time for both. So here's my compromise: "xkcdsucks" is now going to be a weekly feature of the new blog. Rather than feel the need to comment on every single xkcd no matter what, this will let me be more adaptable - if only one comic is worth commenting on that particular week, then that's all I'll do. I always say that Randall's problem (ONE of his problems) is that he forces himself to update constantly, regardless of quality. So I shouldn't do that myself.
Hey! I still haven't told you anything about the new site! And this is what I am super excited about, too. So! It's a wordpress blog, right now it's pretty basic visually but I hope to work on that in the comic weeks. If you want to help out that would be cool. I certainly want some nicer images around, and maybe some help with the general visual theme. My idea is that everything can be done through one blog, but that there would be links to only certain by certain features (like, "posts written by this guy" or "interviews," etc.) so it would feel a little more organized than just "all posts here, read in order." I have a few ideas for what to write about - actually a whole lot - so I'm pretty excited to get started. The URL is www.webcomics.me , so that's a pretty nice place for it. I don't have a name for it besides just calling it "webcomics.me" so if you think of a good name let me know. Actually if you think of anything at all let me know.
I know that there are probably a lot of you out there who are going to be disappointed about this decision, and there's nothing I can say to that besides the fact that I'm grateful you like my blog enough that you're mad it's stopping. If you only really like the negative stuff, you probably won't like the new blog as much as the old one. So I feel ok with the idea that many people won't follow me over to the new site. That's ok. I mean, I hope you do - but I understand that it might take another few years to get the audience there up to what it is here now. And that's assuming all goes well. Who knows what will happen! It's going to be fun.
As to some logistics: This site will stay up indefinetly, though I don't plan to update it. I'll include a link to webcomics.me prominently at the top, along with an explanation. But there's far too much content here to just get rid of it. I spent a while thinking about moving everything here over to the new wordpress blog, but I decided against it - they are going to be two different things. I have, however, posted all my book reviews on that site, and may go back and copy some other articles if I think they are relevant and were good enough. I imagine some of Rob's more general-interest articles will end up there as well. Aloria is going to help with some of the backend stuff, and Ves will be writing as well. Rob will probably join as well. And maybe some other folks! If you're interested in writing for it, you can send me an e-mail with some sample articles and maybe we can get that started. I'm particularly interested in some people who know more about art than I do.
So! Here we are. I'm eager to get started on the new site and I hope you join me there.
In closing, it's been a wacky ride for the last two and a half years. I don't want to get sentimental, given that I write a blog that just makes fun of a comic, but still: It's pretty cool that so many of you have spend so much time commenting on this site and being a part of this community. There were plenty of terrible commenters, but they tended to post once or twice and leave - those of you who stuck around, regardless of your opinions, have proven to be truly fun, intelligent, awesome people. I've had many great conversations with a lot of people, both privately by e-mail and publicly by way of the comments, and I have just been so consistently impressed with how interesting, passionate, and intelligent you all are.

Basement Inspiration and Ideas
Basements can be tough rooms to decorate. They usually just turn into a random storage place with boxes, unused items and holiday decorations. Let's change that and make it a room you would actually enjoy living in. Here are some ideas on how to redo your basement.
PlayroomIf you have younger children a playroom would be perfect for them. Keeping all of their toys and games out of the way and in a neat and organized fashion would create a great use of the space in your basement.

Game Room/Bar/Theater
If you have older kids a game room or home theater may be more functional. A game room and theater is not only going to be fun for the kids but for you and any guests that come as well. These ideas are ways for you, your friends and family to enjoy themselves, relax and let out some stress. A game room doesn't have to consist of much, if you want to go all out a pool or Foosball table would be perfect. Having a bar close to your game room would be a perfect place to entertain and enjoy each other's company. With a large screen with comfy seating right in the same area you will be all set to let lose, watch a movie, and play some games.

Wine Cellar
If you are an avid wine lover than a wine cellar would be perfect for you. Having a place to house your wine collection is a great way to make use of your space. Wine can take up a lot of room if you have enough of it, that is why having a way to store them all like with class refrigerated cabinets or wine racks will certainly come in handy.

Do you need space to get your work finished? Well, the basement could be a perfect space if you have extra room. You can turn this area into an office to keep all your paperwork hidden away.

If you are someone who works out you may want to invest in your own personal gym. Having a large space, like a basement would be ideal to put all of the equipment and get a fabulous workout right from your home.

Guest Suite
If you are someone who has many guests over, but no room to put them, converting your basement into a guest suite would be the best way to use that space.

Nothing More than a Logo, watchsnappers.com is NOT an Original Site
We want to start out our watchsnappers.com reviews by sharing the fact that this is not a genuine sex chat site and the prices and costs are a moot point because your really using another site when you join via the watchsnappers.com landing page. The watchsnappers.com site is merely an affiliate site of a real underlining adult webcams platform. The show costs and prices are not the issue. We share information and adult webcam reviews (the real platforms that offer different underlining user experiences) and one of our goals is to inform people of which sites are original and which adult webcam sites are not. In this case this is not a real original site. See below and join from the underlining platform.
Is watchsnappers.com Safe? And is it really free?
Sort of, but you need to be aware that private shows are not free which would be the only real point of using the site unless you just want to watch what you see before you register. What you get free is the ability to post comments in that small chat box. What you need to know is that if join without buying anything then your username will appear as a 'grey user'. This is how all the models see you and they do not typically interact with free 'grays users'. More importantly watchsnappers.com is nothing more than a chaturbate clone site. If you want to use this site you really should use the underlining service and join via Chaturbate.com. Go see for youself, watchsnappers.com is just a copy of this real website… Read the full chaturbate.com reviews here. Chaturbate is a very good site but it makes zero sense to join on a copy of the original site when you can join at the original site. Considering there is nothing at all original at watchsnappers.com , the watchsnappers.com reviews are the same for all the clone sites of this platform. That is because they offer NOTHING ORIGINAL EXCEPT A LOGO OVER THE TOP OF THE REAL PLATFORM.
Is watchsnappers.com a scam?
Scam is not the right word for how these fake brand-only live webcams sites work, but they are not transparent because they do not share clearly on the home page where the actual services originate from. That is why you want to stick to the original sites that power these copy versions of the underling site. Their technically called White Label sites and they do offer full copy functionality; but they are still a copy. While watchsnappers.com adult webcam site maybe safe we are of the belief that thin content sites like watchsnappers.com are a bit misleading. watchsnappers.com is nothing more than a logo over the top of Chaturbate.com. Chaturbate is the REAL site you would be joining when you join watchsnappers.com . DO NOT JOIN THIS SITE VIA THEIR JOIN PAGE. Instead join at the real site where the services are originating from. Likewise your username and password works on all the clone or copy sites once you register at the main platform on all these thin content clone sites. Instead refer back to our list of original adult webcam sites so that you can ensure you are dealing directly with the underlining platform. I hope that our watchsnappers.com reviews have given you the information to make a more informed decision. You can also check out our list of the best adult webcams sites. By all means this is a fun and fine site to join, but if you do so do join via the real underlining platform…

Woman Paints Animals on Trees – level 1
31-01-2018 15:00
A woman from China paints on trees. She says that she did not like the trees in the street. She started painting on them. She paints things from nature like pandas and white cats.
She is a student and she is 23 years old.
She makes one painting in 4 hours. Why does she paint? She wants to make people think about nature. She also hopes that people will be happier and forget about the bad pollution in the air.
Difficult words: make (create), hope (want something good to be), pollution (bad stuff that makes the air or water dirty).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

When you listen to people in your native language, you do not translate. You simply understand. The same has to be in English. When you learn English, you have to learn the whole sentences in context.
Students, who translate English texts, do exercises and do tests are very good at translating, doing exercises and doing tests, but they have problems with understanding English in real life. In real life, nobody waits for your translation. People usually use simple English when they speak but they use it fast. You have to understand with no translation to your native language. If you translate, you cannot be part of communication because you are thinking about the language too much. These words are maybe hard to read but they are true.
You also have to hear every new word 5 to 10 times if you want to remember it. That's why we use the same words in one level. If you read and hear the same words again and again, you will understand them and remember them. If you know words from one level, you can go to a higher level and learn new words. It is important to go step by step, and read and listen to words which are used in English often. This is what we do with our news. In our short news, we use words which are used in English often. Level 1 has the 1000 most important words. Level 2 has the 2000 most important words, Level 3 has the 3000 most important words.

Mayor Finizio isn't talking about his ailing police chief
I think in my next career I would like to come back as the much-rewarded, much-forgiven New London Police Chief Margaret Ackley.
After all, in what other job could you claim a work-related injury and then, for the next three and a half months, only show up for work two hours a day.
I am pretty sure most other employers would insist that some kind of formal procedure be followed, that a workers' compensation claim be filed, for instance, and the legal procedures for that process be adhered to.
But, apparently, in New London, the chief can cut her own hours as she sees fit and keep cashing paychecks.
I say apparently because the city administration has been anything but forthcoming on this issue of the police chief's reduced hours.
Did the chief file a workers' compensation claim? Who is officially following her medical progress? Is any of this being covered by insurance, or is the city directly paying the chief's wages and medical bills?
How has the police department run for almost four months without a full-time designated chief?
Really, the public has no way of knowing what's going on.
I filed a Freedom of Information request last month with the mayor's office, requesting documentation of the chief's reduced hours.
I knew that detailed medical reports on the chief's health would rightfully not be subject to disclosure. But an FOI expert assured me all the bureaucratic paperwork involving any kind of medical leave, including emails by city officials exchanging information about the absence of the city's police chief, would be public.
The mayor's executive assistant acknowledged my FOI request almost as soon as I made it. But then no response followed.
This week, I filed a complaint with the state Freedom of Information Commission, saying the city had not provided any of the requested material. I mailed a copy of the complaint to the mayor's office Monday.
Then on Wednesday, the mayor publicly issued a memo he wrote that day to the chief, telling her she is no longer "authorized to work light duty."
The reference to light duty work evidently refers to a city "Return to Work Policy" that was established in November 2012, the month after the chief was injured.
The mayor's memo went on to tell the chief that she would receive "full salary continuation under worker's compensation until your situation changes."
The release of the memo, though, raised more questions than it answers.
And then the mayor refused to answer any questions about it.
The police chief's health is her own business.
And no doubt anyone in the city would wish her a swift recovery, especially since the injuries occurred while she was in the service of the city, indeed at work during an emergency, as a dangerous hurricane lashed the state.
Still, given the political storms that have swirled around the chief and the mayor since her undermining of his principal opponent in the last election, erring on the side of full disclosure would be appropriate.
The mayor took a lot of heat both for proposing at one time that the chief be given $25,000 to settle harassment claims against a city councilor - claims an independent judge found had no legal merit - and that she be paid $60,000 for extra hours she had worked.
The City Council eventually rejected both settlements.
Indeed, the chief has a long history of filing complaints against the city, going back to when she was a rank-and-file member of the police department and claimed gender discrimination. The Hartford law firm hired to investigate that claim found it had no merit.
Now and in the future, Mayor Finizio should be sure that claims and complaints made by any and all city employees are settled fairly and publicly.
This is the opinion of David Collins

[album id=4 template=extend]
Over 180 entries were submitted for fall photo contest. When the dust had settled we had chosen one winning entry for each of the six categories. These winners and several runner's up in each category have 60 days to pick up their prizes. Each category winner will get a certificate for a FREE 2-night stay at the Victorian Condo-Hotel on Galveston Island. These winners should pick up the certificate as soon as possible and plan their trip as the certificates must be used before December 31, 2011 and are not valid during Galveston or National holidays. The runners up printed in today's newspaper will receive a $20 gift certificate to Las Haciendas Mexican Restaurant. It was very tough judging these quality entries. Some category winners and/or runners up received "extra credit" for including other criteria, either realized or not. That may have added to their submission and pushed them over the edge to win.

Detailed in the New York Post earlier today, a couple New York City coffee shops are trying out a trial of a new electronic gadget that allows customers to leave a tip for the barista with a credit or debit card. Called the DipJar, the silver cylinder is placed by the register and customers simply slide their credit card into the blue cup to tip the staff. The amount of the tip is already preset and listed on the top of the card reader in a bold font along with a description of the transaction on an information card. For instance, the two coffee shops list $1 on the top of the DipJar. Once the card has been swiped, the credit card information is encrypted and transmitted directly to the servers at the DipJar headquarters. According to the developer of DipJar, the credit card information isn't stored in the actual hardware.
This is particularly helpful for small businesses where the vast majority of transactions are already on credit cards rather than cash. When asked about the creation of the DipJar, CEO and co-founder Ryan Kessler recounted a story about a day spent within a coffee shop.
Kessler stated "Everyone was paying with credit or debit, so the tips had plummeted. Baristas take really great care of me, and I didn't like that they were working just as hard and making less money."
According to the company site, the hardware is completely free to retailers. Similar to Square, it's likely that DipJar will eventually make money processing each transaction and Kessler is currently promising that 80 cents on the dollar will make it back to the tipped baristas. They are attempting to push that figure to 90 cents on the dollar, but won't be able to negotiate more effectively until the business grows considerably. According to USA Today, DipJar is covering the cost of the credit card processing fees during the trial run with the coffee shops in New York City and sending back the entire $1 value of the tip back to the store employees. Setting up the DipJar is as simple as registering the device, plugging it in and placing it next to the register.
As tips are collected with the DipJar, the total amount is pooled and divided up among employees based on hours worked. Managers are encouraged to verify the inputted schedules before a check is cut to the employee.
Payments are sent out from DipJar every two weeks, but not everyone is happy with the disbursements yet. An unnamed barista told the Post "I get a check for, like, six dollars every two weeks. I think people just don't notice it."
To protect against fraud, DipJar checks for repeated dipping on a specific credit or debit card. If someone sees charges labeled "DipJar Inc." on their credit card and suspects fraud, all charges can be contested on DipJar.com within 30 days of the original transaction. After providing information like credit card verification and the location of the transaction, a refund will be issued to the charged card within 30 days of filing the dispute.

I might be more forgiving of this comic if it were the first time Randall had done the "what would a sarcastic person have been like in classic fantasy situation?" joke, but it's not. And it's not something I am going to stay amused by for long. As commenters on the last post pointed out, not only are there series that do deal with this question (what came to my mind was The Number Devil), and further, isn't a better question "why do they need a 12 year old to save them anyway?"
Anyway, in short, yeah, apparently fantasy novels are sometimes not totally accurate.

The Sports Xchange
By Jeff Reynolds, The Sports Xchange
First round ends with Te'o still waiting by phone
His past footprints have been traced for months, but Manti Te'o must anguish one more day before learning what his next step will be after the Notre Dame linebacker wasn't drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday.
His best chances to go in the first round figured to be at No. 19 to the New York Giants, No. 20 to the Chicago Bears or to the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota had the 23rd and 25th picks and then traded back into the first round (No. 29), but opted not to invest in Te'o.
The St. Louis Rams drafted Georgia's Alec Ogletree as an outside linebacker, meaning the first round expired without a middle linebacker being drafted.
Te'o has taken an incomparable path to the NFL, one lined with constant ridicule and non-stop scrutiny, most of which dealt with everything but football.
His "fake" girlfriend.
His decision to delay reporting facts of the hoax to Notre Dame and media.
His (4.8-second) timed speed in shorts and a tank top.
In a matter of days, Te'o will finally be free to return to football in his first on-field appointment as a professional at rookie minicamp. He'll have to wait until Friday to buy that plane ticket to his future home.
Te'o spent the first day of the NFL Draft in Laie, Hawaii -- with a gaggle of family and close friends and NFL Network cameras -- a single-stoplight coastal hamlet some distance from the scrutiny that has followed him since the national championship game in January.
Te'o was a first-team All-American and a captain for Notre Dame, which was undefeated in the regular season. Te'o had 113 tackles, seven interceptions and 5.5 total tackles for loss, and won the Nagurski Award, Maxwell Trophy and Walter Camp National Player of the Year honors in addition to being the runner-up to Johnny Manziel in Heisman Trophy balloting.
But his numbers were secondary to the off-field endurance test Te'o experienced when news broke a week after the title game loss to Alabama of a hoax involving Te'o and a girlfriend he would later learn didn't exist.
"Honestly, I'd say I'm never going to be normal," Te'o told Vanity Fair magazine this month. "It's still with me now. It's always going to be something that's just there all the time, in the back of my head. Every day, in every situation with people -- conversations, getting Facebook messages -- I'm thinking about all the angles. What does that mean? Wait, stop, who really is this person? What should I be thinking? What should I be doing now?"
A Samoan of Mormon faith, Te'o's unlikely journey to Notre Dame could've ended after the 2011 season. He was considered a top-20 draft pick at the end of his junior season, but opted to return for his senior season to keep a promise to his family. Four years ago, Te'o nearly signed with Southern Cal, only to change his mind after following his faith to South Bend.
Instead of entering the NFL last April, he committed to making over his body to improve in coverage -- still considered a liability at the NFL level -- and had seven interceptions.
Te'o dropped 16 pounds but pedestrian speed, shorter-than-ideal arms and his performance against Alabama's NFL-like offensive line in January contributed to slowly erasing his stellar career with scouts, who magnified those issues. Especially in the media, Te'o's decorated college resume was crumpled in the fast-forward projections to the NFL and judgment of his role and emotional and moral responsibility in the aftermath of the girlfriend hoax.
As opportunities ticked by ... New York, Chicago, Minnesota thrice and Baltimore, it became clear Te'o's demise wasn't a creation of the media, or a mirage. When the draft begins Friday, he'll still be waiting for the right match.

Blogminster is no longer maintained.
Blogminster was created to show that building a public service brand does not have to be expensive. It was also a proof of concept to investigate how technology can bring more transparency to the workings of government and make the thoughts and ideas of our elected representatives accessible in one place.
It far exceeded expectations, and was followed by many, including politicians and the mainstream media. Unfortunately, its founder had other commitments, and after four years decided to close the service.
The platform is therefore now retired. Our old About page is still available here.
Thank you for your support over the years.

8 Essentials for a Great Family Room
A family room is a space in your home where everyone in the household can gather to relax and spend some quality family time together. Creating a beautiful family room that is also welcoming and comfortable can often be a challenge. Don't forget these 8 essentials when you're creating your beautiful family room.
1. Plenty of Seating
Make sure there are enough comfortable seats for everyone in the family plus a few guests. If you don't have a lot of space, try a sectional or keep some comfy floor pillows on hand so you can always welcome everyone in.
2. A Warm Glow
There's nothing like gathering around the glow of a fire on a cool spring evening. Whether you already have a traditional wood burning fireplace or you opt for an electric or gas burning model.
3. Table Tops
A large coffee table is a must for family games. Keep the accessories light and easy to move so you can quickly clear space for a family gathering.
4. Soft Underfoot
Soft carpet or a soft area rug are a must have for a family room. When you're ready to relax your toes will want a soft place to land. And a soft floor is more inviting for kids (and adults) who may want to sit on the floor.
5. Color
Pick a color that makes the entire family feel at ease – like this year's trendy indigo blue. Think about how you want to feel in the space. Blues and greens can be relaxing but yellows and oranges can be fun and energizing.
6. Storage
Make sure there's a place in your room to stash all the family activities – games, DVDs, books and magazines – so they're out of sight when you're not using them but readily available when it's time to relax. Built in cabinets or tables with drawers are great options.
7. Out of Reach
Especially if you have little ones, keep breakable accessories out of reach. That doesn't mean they need to be out of sight, though. Choose high shelves to display any breakable accents.
8. Plan for the TV
Instead of avoiding it or pretending it won't be a part of your space, go ahead and plan a place for the television. A custom built in shelf or a piece of furniture specifically designed to hold a TV will help keep it from being an eye sore.
The featured family room was designed by Rebecca Hay and photographed by Jason Hartog.
