Montgomery County Teachers Federal Credit Union (MCT Federal Credit Union), Rockville, Maryland, has contacted the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to report that counterfeit checks bearing the institution's name are in circulation. The counterfeit items are reportedly associated with a European lottery scam.
The counterfeit items display the routing number 255077888, which is assigned to Montgomery County Teacher's Federal Credit Union, but are markedly dissimilar to authentic cashiers checks. The counterfeit items are tan and have ornate design borders with brown squares in each corner. The statement "THE FACE OF THIS DOCUMENT HAS A COLORED BACKGROUND ON WHITE PAPER" is embedded in the top border and the statement "THE BACK OF THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS AN ARTIFICIAL WATERMARK-HOLD AT AN ANGLE TO VIEW" is embedded in the bottom border. A padlock icon is centered within the right border and another appears inside a pink rectangle in the lower-right corner. An erroneous logo (a darkened rectangle containing a tree image and "MCT CREDIT UNION") and "Federal Credit Union, P.O. Box [missing number], Rockville, Maryland 20849-1250" appear in the top-left corner. The words "DATE" and "AMOUNT" are centered inside two shaded boxes in the right side.
Authentic checks are shaded pink and gray with dark gray borders. Embedded in the top border is the security feature statement "WARNING: DO NOT ACCEPT THIS DOCUMENT UNLESS YOU CAN SEE A WATERMARK VISIBLE FROM FRONT AND BACK WHEN HELD AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE LIGHT. THIS DOCUMENT ALSO CONTAINS VISIBLE FIBERS AND INVISIBLE FLUORESCENT FIBERS." The institution's logo (a zigzag line and "MCT FEDERAL CREDIT UNION") and "P.O. Box 1250, Rockville, Maryland 20849-1250, (301) 938-9880" appear in the top-left corner. The statement "VOID 90 DAYS AFTER ISSUE" and the institution's name appear above the "AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE" line in the lower-right corner.
Copies of a counterfeit item and an authentic check (VOID) are attached for your review. Be aware that the appearance of counterfeit items can be modified and that additional variations may be presented.
Any information you have concerning this matter should be brought to the attention of:
Fraud Department
Information about counterfeit items, cyber-fraud incidents and other fraudulent activity may be forwarded to the FDIC's Cyber-Fraud and Financial Crimes Section, 550 17th Street, N.W., Room F-4004, Washington, D.C. 20429, or transmitted electronically to email@example.com.

The Pieman's Craft: How to Unstick Your Pizza from the Peel
Last time we met with Pizza a Casa owner Mark Bello, he showed us his DJ skillz for stretching out dough. Here, he shares a quick trick for unsticking pizza that won't budge from the peel. Semolina to the rescue! As Adam mentioned a few months back, a spice shaker will help with quick, even distribution.
When using a peel to place your pizza in the oven, you want to make sure it shimmies freely on the surface so it'll slide off. The best way to make sure it won't stick is to give the peel a shake periodically as you build your pie—and to work quickly. But if at some point it won't budge, just gently lift the dough and apply some semolina (or other bench flour) to the peel at the problem spot.

Considering Trinity?
My dear friends,
What our world needs now, is prayer.
I came across these wise words from a graduate
of the University of Notre Dame. I know it is
long but it is really worth the read.
God Bless,
Mrs. Kathy Behrens
By Katie Klee '12
Stress, anxiety, boredom -- these are a few of
the symptoms I associated with the act of prayer
for a long period of my life. In a word, my
feelings toward prayer were negative. I had
always heard that prayer was a good thing in the
life of a Christian, and I often made attempts
at it, but for some reason I never seemed to
connect with God in prayer. Eventually, I found
that I experienced these feelings because I did
not think I needed God nor did I have to rely on
God for any reason -- I had my friends and
family. I thought I knew myself well enough to
know what I needed most and who I needed most.
Neither of these included God. But one of the
most troubling questions I came back to again
and again was this: I know I believe in God and
hope for heaven, but why does God seem like such
a distant reality?
Then, after several courses as a theology major
at Notre Dame, I learned a lot about a guy named
Jesus Christ. I also learned that Jesus' plan of
attack toward all parts of life is this: prayer.
Jesus prayed for others, with others, alone, in
nature, with persistence, and with trust in
God's will. But above all, Jesus prayed
frequently, in all situations. Why? Because
Jesus knew he was of God; Jesus knew he was sent
from God, belonged to God throughout the
entirety of his earthly dwelling, and was
destined for God after death. As such, he knew
that only God could give his life purpose,
truth, and guidance. Only God could truly move
him to act, think, pray, console, preach, heal,
and even die with faithfulness.
It's the same for us. If truly we believe we're
created by God and have the desire for eternity
with God in heaven, that does not make our time
on earth irrelevant. Dorothy Day, a social
activist, Catholic convert, and co-founder of
the Catholic Worker movement, says in her
autobiography, The Long Loneliness, "We must
live this life now. Death changes nothing. If we
don't learn to enjoy God now we never will. If
we do not learn to praise God and thank God and
rejoice in God now, we never will." As
believers, all of our actions on earth and the
ways we love in this life will decide if we will
live with God forever. But we need God to show
us how our lives are meant to be lived if we
desire eternal life with God. That is why we
need prayer. We need prayer because then the One
who made us, whom we praise and call upon on
earth, the One whom we're destined for, suddenly
is not so far away. By calling on God's name God
is right by our side showing us how to be close
now and for eternity. God is not far away, not
with prayer.
Do you want to know what gave Christ the
strength to endure all he encountered? Do you
wish God would help you get where you want to
be? Would you like God to speak to you more
directly? Have you ever desired guidance in a
confusing time, hope in a desperate time, or
peace when your world is trembling? Have you
ever wanted to express gratitude for the sunset,
a meaningful conversation with a friend, or for
the gift of your life? Do you wish you felt a
little closer to God? Then perhaps look at
prayer this way: prayer is the act of making
transparent the reality of heaven on earth by
entering into communion with the divine at the
present moment.
Does heaven seem like a reality too far removed
from this life? Pray. Let God in now. God knows
your deepest desires, fears, and wounds, so let
God guide you close through those parts of
yourself. Learn to live and rejoice in the
wisdom, grace, and goodness of God now. If we
don't now, we never will.

About 4,500 marijuana plants were being ripped out of the soil on Marin Municipal Water District land in West Marin on Tuesday, one day after they were discovered by a warden passing through the remote area, according to the Marin County Sheriff's Department.
The plants, located about 18 miles west of Novato and just west of the Walker Creek Ranch, were pinpointed after California Department of Fish and Game warden came across a man wearing camouflage clothing and carrying pruning clippers walking along Marshall-Petaluma Road, said sheriff's Lt. Barry Heying.
At about 11 a.m. Monday, the warden determined that the man was associated with an illegal pot growing operation and called in sheriff's deputies to investigate. Members of the county's Marijuana Eradication Team conducted a raid that began early Tuesday morning amid thick manzanita bushes in an area spread out over about a quarter of a mile, Heying said.
Personnel from state Fish and Game, the California Highway Patrol, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, MMWD and the sheriff's office participated in the raid and eradication effort, which continued into Tuesday afternoon. The estimated street value of the pot is unknown.
The plants averaged 5 feet tall and were fed by an elaborate irrigation system, Heying said. Agents reported finding rat traps, rodent poison, fertilizer and trash on the site as well. There was evidence of erosion damage, and pollution from chemicals and pesticides.
Heying said just the one suspect was arrested and that investigators were working to connect others to the operation. The arrested man was identified as an undocumented alien; he is in custody of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents, Heying said.
"Those responsible for caring for and guarding marijuana grow sites also pose a danger to hikers, bicyclists, ranchers and water district rangers who patrol the lands," Heying wrote in a release.
The location of the growing operation was in the 1400 block of Marshall-Petaluma Road, not far from Walker Creek Ranch, which is owned by the Marin County Office of Education and used as a science camp for school kids.
Anyone with information concerning this matter is encouraged to call the Marin County Sheriff's Office at 415-473-7233 and could be eligible for a cash reward. To remain anonymous, call Bay Area Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS.

Devin Thorpe, Contributor
I cover social entrepreneurship and impact investing.
As 2012 comes to an end, it seems apropos to make some predictions for 2013 on the record. Trust me, if any of these predictions are demonstrably fulfilled I'll remind you of my prescience this time next year. Otherwise, we may never speak of these predictions again.
Great insights, Devin, and an excellent article. I hope your predictions prove right- and it sounds like we are headed for a very good year. Here's to that outcome!
Do you have to say social every other word?
Interesting article. I believe we are only beginning to understand the impact of our virtual presense. I'm curious your take on a tool I created, http://social-cred.it which encourages users to earn credit for responsible social engagements.
1- People will continue to confuse the use of the word "social"
2- Corporations of all sizes will increasingly seek to identify themselves with a single, popular cause.
3- Do-gooders will scoff
4- Social entrepreneurs will drive access to clean water, education, electricity and the internet.
5- The world will not run out of impoverished people who need a helping hand.
6- Love will abound.
Well said… Ken
Love this article- #4, 6 and 7 are the actions and 8 (my favorite) is the reason and reward.

Earth hour is almost upon us. Will you be going dark at 8:30 p.m.?
Earth Hour is a global World Wildlife Fund initiative that began in Sydney, Aulstralia in 2007, when 2 million people switched off their lights. In 2008, more than 50 million people all over the world took part in the action, according to Earth Hour's website. In 2009 almost 1 billion people worldwide switched off their lights. By 2011, Earth Hour involved 135 countries with more than 1.8 billion people participating.
In countries and on continents where the hour has already occurred, hundreds of world landmarks from Berlin's Brandenburg Gate to the Great Wall of China went dark earlier today.
Earth Hour is held on the last Saturday of March every year, and began as a Sydney-only event in 2007. The Sydney Opera House was dimmed again this year.
The goal is to inspire people to reduce their energy consumption every day, not by sitting in the dark for an hour each night, but by taking simple steps that can have a dramatic effect.
Here are a few examples of how to support Earth Hour year long:
- Switch to energy-efficient CFL or LED lights instead of traditional incandescent bulbs. Lighting accounts for about 5 percent of residential greenhouse gas emissions.
- Turn off or unplug computers, televisions, cell-phone chargers, microwave ovens, and other appliances and electrical devices when they're not in use instead of leaving them on standby.
- Turn off lights when you leave a room or finish work for the day.
- Encourage your company to shut off lights and unused appliances when no one is working.
- Heat only the rooms you use regularly.
- Use less hot water.

I have been driving a rental Saab 95 estate 2.0 turbo for 2 weeks. This is one of the worst cars I have ever driven. It is physically as big as my wifes 3.5L Villager, but has half the internal space. The trip computer is indecipherable. The HVAC controls are counter intuitive. It is slower than my 10 yr old Maxima and can't pull the skin off a rice pudding. The (new) car smells of rancid kippers after it's parked for a while. The upholstery is horrible cheap vinyl. Fuel consumption seems very high. Handling is poor. Brakes are mushy.

Funeral services for Carolyn J. Babbs, 80, of Sellersburg, will be at 10 a.m. Friday, March 29, at the Charlestown Road Chapel of Kraft Funeral Home Service, with burial in Kraft-Graceland Memorial Park. She returned home to her Heavenly Father on Saturday, March 23, 2013 at Floyd Memorial Hospital and Health Services with her family by her side.
She was born Nov. 8, 1932 in Louisville, to her late parents, William and Sallie Hatfield. She loved books, studied ancient history, enjoyed the theater, watching old movies and listening to classical music. But her real joy came from being a mother and grandmother. Kind and compasionate with a generous heart, she was a friend, mother and grandmother to not just her family but to all in need.
Survivors include her sons, Melvin A. Babbs and his wife, Jeanette, Marcus Babbs and his wife, Deanna, and Sean Babbs and his wife, Tarah; daughters, Denise Ruffra and her husband, David, Ramona Babbs and Jamie Ziegler and her husband, Jack; a sister, Ethel Scrogham; 11 grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Melvin B. Babbs; grandson, Ross D. Ruffra; and a brother, Bill Hatfield.
Visitation at the funeral home will be from noon to 8 p.m. Thursday.
Expressions of sympathy may take the form of contributions to Hosparus of Southern Indiana.
Online condolences can be made at www.kraftfs.com.


text: I really love Hart Plaza as a venue despite its problems and would hate to ever see it change, but I do think it's time to start thinking about lowering capacity. I don't think it's quite hit the tipping point yet where it's just too overfilled with too many idiots, but it's moving in that way. I noticed way more stupidity this year than in years past and although most of the crowd was lovely, it only takes a couple of idiots to fuck things up for everyone. The last couple of sets each day were definitely pretty overcrowded, especially on Beatport and the main (the underground got a lot better after Saturday afternoon I thought, although I avoided it most all of Monday because I knew people hiding from the rain would dominate it and I had plenty of other shit I wanted to see). I couldn't get anywhere near Squarepusher and gave up and ended up at Dan Bell, which was perfect.

How to Use Hair Color Chalk:
1. Dampen the hair where you would like the colors.
2. Rub hair color chalks on the damp section of hair.
3. For longer lasting colors, straighten or curl the hair using heat.
4. For chalking dry hair, wet the pastel chalks first and then rub on your hair.
To remove the hair color chalk, shampoo your hair and the colors will fade. Easy!
**SPECIAL NOTE: The shades may vary within packs, so you may not receive the exact tones as what is shown in the pictures.

She took one refurbished piano…
… some primer, a little paint, 15 discarded music books, 1/3 gallon of glue, and created one of the 88 pianos re-envisioned by artists for Sing for Hope (a public arts organization in NYC). The artist responsible for this piano is Art and Design Dean's Office staff member Amy Bauer.
In February Bauer submitted a proposal to be chosen as a Sing for Hope artist. She envisioned tearing pages from vintage music books and covering an entire piano with them. It's in keeping with an artistic process that involves using discarded paper for works that have nostalgic and recycling themes.
In March, Bauer received confirmation that her proposal was accepted. April and May were spent working on her masterpiece.
Until June 15 Bauer's piano will remain outdoors for anyone to admire and/or play. The piano will then be donated to a school or community center in NYC.
Current location: On the porch of the Van Cortlandt House Museum in the Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.
Sunday, June 16 all of the pianos will be located at the Josie Robertson Plaza at Lincoln Center for a free all-day celebration from 11:30 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
For more information about Amy Bauer, her piano and art work visit: www.amybauerdesigns.com.

(Guest post by Kayla Brown, Intern)
When it comes time for your company to take part in a trade show or an event just showing up isn't enough and it won't guarantee the media coverage you are looking for. So this time around shake it up and try something new.
Trade shows offer prime opportunities to showcase your newest products, as well as opportunities to extend and amplify your messages to a broader audience.
Your company has already spent thousands of dollars on a booth, developing messaging and creating a unique experience for your customers and prospects. Why not enhance that by inviting and interacting with the media?
Engaging reporters with interviews and demonstrations will help reinforce your message by earning media coverage, which can add to your credibility and also reach thousands of customers and prospects who could not attend the show.
Best of all, this can be easily achieved. Here are some simple tips:
1. Reach out to media several weeks before the show. Let them know what you'll be offering such as new products, demonstrations and who will be available for interviews;
2. Set up interviews or demonstration appointments a week or two before the show;
3. Prepare press materials and brief your spokespeople;
4. Have a PR expert handy during the show to engage and pitch reporters on the spot; and
5. Conduct follow-up with the media after the show to answer any questions and make sure they have all the materials they need (press kit / images / etc.).
Of course, social media is another great way to generate extra buzz before, during and after a trade show. Here's how:
Create and promote a #hashtag for your show presence so users can find all related tweets. Also, tweet links that lead media and prospects to where they can find information, especially if they were unable to attend.
Post coverage and links on your company's Facebook page and encourage attendees to "like" your page, so they can post replies, share feedback and learn more.
If you have any videos from the show or press conference, edit the footage into short, exciting segments then promote and link videos to your website and other social media sites.
Integrating traditional PR and social media with your trade show activities can maximize your reach, credibility and impact for enhanced marketing ROI.

New Propane Training Academy Offers One-Stop Shop for Propane Training, ResearchWebsite offers free training to construction professionals on propane safety, applications.
WASHINGTON (November 2, 2010) The Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) is launching a new online resource designed to help construction professionals find training materials on propane applications, safety, and research.
The new Propane Training Academy, at www.propanetrainingacademy.com, is a one-stop shop for all PERC training resources including articles, webinars, videos, white papers, product catalogs, research, and more than a dozen free one-hour training sessions.
"This is the only website specifically tailored to training the residential construction industry on the safety measures and applications associated with propane," said Tracy Burleson, director of residential programs for PERC. "Understanding the value and options available through the use of propane can give construction professionals an edge over the competition while meeting their customers' needs."
The Propane Training Academy offers visitors the opportunity to choose the training methods that work best for them, whether it's through instructor-led or self-guided sessions. Visitors to the website can review the full content of training courses prior to enrolling, provide feedback on the lessons, and be notified of related courses of interest. The courses available include "Go Green with Propane," "Expanding Outdoor Living," and "Retrofitting Homes from Heating Oil to Propane."
Training sessions are approved by the National Association of Home Builders and the American Institute of Architects.

A friend of mine is getting married next month. I adore the man she is marrying. He loves her golden retriever as much as she does. I didnt think that was possible.
When they started dating, he announced he was going to make her dinner paella, a classic Spanish dish of meat, seafood and saffron-flavored rice.
I was impressed. Paella is no simple undertaking. I own the special pan used to make it, but I have never been that ambitious.
The next day, I learned he had made paella out of a box.
His enthusiasm for good food apparently outstripped his cooking skills.
Since then, I had heard occasional comments about his other well-meaning attempts in the kitchen. But until she started telling stories during a recent bachelorette weekend, I had no idea how desperate the situation was.
Exhibit A: He offered recently to make her an egg sandwich. It was delicious. Then she went into the kitchen and saw that he had used nine eggs before scrambling one correctly.
Exhibit B: On New Years Eve, she was making them a romantic dinner. He offered to help. Busy with the entrees, she asked him to make the salad. He chopped lettuce and carrots and placed them in a bowl. Then he put the salad bowl under a faucet of running water.
Thats when I decided to help. I remember what it was like learning how to cook when every meal was as likely to end up in the trash as on my plate. Theres nothing more discouraging.
I know how rewarding it can feel now when people compliment me on my cooking. Its a source of confidence and resourcefulness that I can come home and make dinner regardless of whats in the refrigerator.
I realized that my friends fiancé is willing to try despite previous failures. Thats a good sign.
And so, I am going to offer this groom a series of cooking lessons as part of their wedding present. And I want your advice.
What are the essential dishes that everyone should know how to cook? What skills should everyone master in the kitchen?
Let me know what you think, and Ill share our collective wisdom in a future column.
Weigl: email@example.com or 919-829-4848

Menlo Park Police are searching for two handicap-adapted vehicles that were stolen from a home in the Flood Park Triangle neighborhood on Thursday.
The owner of the two vehicles, Nettie Wijsman, was preparing to go on a business trip when they were stolen in front of her home.
She had heard it was going to rain on Thursday, so started to pack her car on Wednesday to avoid being doused. "Then I did a really stupid thing. I'd been traveling for work and was running on two cylinders," she said, pausing to reflect on what she was about to reveal.
"I left the car keys in the ignition," she admitted.
18 vehicles were stolen in Menlo Park this year, according to the Menlo Park Police. Hers bring the total to 21.
Wijsman said one of the vehicles would be easy to identify. She described it as a black 2000 Honda CRV with a large platform wheelchair lift attached to the back. (A photo of the vehicle is attached to this article.) She estimated the vehicle's worth, including the cost of the wheelchair lift, at about $11,000.
The other vehicle is a gold 1999 Dodge Grand Caravan. The value of the van is about $5,000. The wheelchair lift that was installed in the van cost about $25,000, she said. While the cost of the CRV may be covered by insurance, Wisjman only had liability insurance on the Caravan.
Wijsman is not sure how she is going to commute to work without these vehicles, given that she must travel throughout the Bay Area for her job. She works as an ergonomics consultant and used the CRV daily, she said. Wijsman has been confined to a wheelchair since 2007.
"Normally people just go out and rent a car in this situation," she said. She said it was very frustrating to try to find a rental vehicle that was able to accommodate her wheelchair.
"I'm stuck scooting around to public transportation," she added, noting that the closest Caltrain station was about three miles away.
Her friend Marilyn Green said Wijsman was completely reliant on the vehicles for her livelihood.
"Even if public transportation could get her to close to her destinations, the limited battery life of her motorized wheelchair could leave her stranded," Green said.
Wijsman said whoever took the vehicle probably knew what they were doing and was not from the neighborhood. The wheelchair lift on the van was down when it was taken from in front of her home.
"It's tricky to operate," she said, "Even when I take it to mechanics, they have problems," she said.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of these two vehicles is encouraged to call the Menlo Park Police at (650) 330-6395.

Cellar/Tasting Notes The wine presents with an expansive bouquet, with hints of citrus and herbs such as mint. On the palate, the wine is complex and full-bodied with
notable viscosity, and an almost endless finish.
Cellar/Tasting Notes A bottle of Quintarelli never disappoints!
The name itself stands for so much: the family, the wines, a style, a tradition, a way of doing things. After all the time, effort, patience, and care that go into the making of a bottle of Quintarelli, it truly does mean so much more..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2004 Ca' del Merlo is slightly less generous than the expressive 2003. Make no mistake: Quintarelli's trademark elegance is on full display. This vintage delivers more in the mouth with a fuller, more generous mouthfeel and more firmness on the finish. Crushed mineral and forest berry is backed..

Mineral Wells Index
— Norma Joyce (Hall) Boatright died Nov. 14, 2013, at Odyssey Hospice in San Antonio, Texas, at the age of 87.
She will be interred at Woodland Park Cemetery in Mineral Wells in a graveside ceremony at 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18. Pallbearers will be her sons and grandsons.
Norma was born March 1, 1926 in Farmersville, Texas to Clyde Hall and Cennie Mabel (Owens) Hall. She graduated from Mineral Wells High School in 1943, and married her life-long soul mate William Harold (Boaty) Boatright on June 1, 1944 in Chicago, shortly before he shipped out to the Pacific. After the war, Boaty worked for the FAA and Norma stayed home to raise their three sons. Norma and Boaty lived for many years in Northern Virginia and San Antonio.
Boaty preceded Norma in death in 2006.
Norma was an avid fan of the Dallas Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns, and enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, especially if a poker game was involved. She liked movies and soap operas and the family knew not to interrupt her while her "show" was on. She was always a lady first and foremost, very feminine, very proper, but with a sweet nature that made everyone who knew her love her dearly.
She is survived by her three sons and their spouses, Randall and Janet Boatright, Russell and Catherine Boatright and Rory and Hollis Boatright; her beloved niece Beverly Henson who was like the daughter she never had, 11 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.
Baum Carlock Bumgardner Funeral Home in Mineral Wells, Texas is in charge of arrangements, condolences may be left at www.bcbfuneralhome.com.

If this isn't love?
"I really love him 'cause
He's everything I want
He listens to me, he cares for me "
I have been in a relationship with my guy for 6 years now, and expect to be engaged by the end of the year. This is the first man that I feel listens to me because he actually cares about me. Other men always had an ulterior motive, where my best interest was not in mind. I believe every woman wants to be loved for who they really are and for the last 6 years, I've had that. So truly, I really love him, because he is everything I want!

The following Tips are compliments of Home Again. I hope you and your pet enjoy Halloween but please be careful, take care of your pet and please consider micro chipping your pet to increase the change of being reunited in the unfortunate event that your pet goes missing.
Dress Your Pet for Halloween
What will your dog or cat be wearing this year? Find fashion inspiration for sweet, silly, and even stylish costumes for four-footed friends.
Halloween has become one of America's favorite holidays, and pets are increasingly in on the fun. While not everyone chooses to dress up their cat or dog for the occasion, those who do get to connect with the wide community of pet lovers. If you're planning to participate in a pet parade, enter your pal in a best-dressed animal contest, or even go trick-or-treating with a four-footed friend, it's not too early to start thinking about a great costume for your pet.
Haven't yet decided what yours will wear? Homemade costumes can be the best and most creative, as well as the most affordable. Pay a visit to a fabrics-and-notions store to find inspiration. Also search online for "dog (or cat) Halloween costumes." Note that most commercially-available costumes are cheaply made, but they do offer busy pet parents (and those who aren't handy) convenience.
Outfits to Avoid
Although cleverness and cuteness are key for Halloween pet costumes, safety should be paramount. Pick an outfit that gives your pet a full range of motion and doesn't endanger him in any way, and also keep pets away from decorations they might be tempted to chew or eat. On the list of no-no's:
- Unsafe body paint
- Full-face masks
- Fake eyelashes or anything that touches the eyes
- Anything that constricts a pet's movement, circulation, or breathing
- Material that can trap a pet
Great Costumes for Dogs and Cats
Ideas and themes to get your creative juices flowing:
A New Identity
Costumes can transform your dog (the majority of pet costumes are for dogs, not cats) into another species entirely. Let your imagination run wild and consider costuming your canine as a:
- Bat
- Bear
- Bee
- Butterfly
- Caterpillar
- Cow
- Duck
- Lobster
- Mermaid
- Peacock
- Shark
Little People
Some of us consider our pets as people, and Halloween gives us the opportunity to dress them as such. Consider dressing yours as a:
- Angel or Devil
- Bride or Groom
- Clown
- Cowboy
- Dracula
- Fireman
- French Maid
- Leprechaun
- King – or The King, Elvis Presley
- Queen
- Rapper
- Prisoner
- Punk Rocker
- Football Fan
- Santa
- Spiderman
- Wonder Woman
- Witch or Wizard
More Ideas for Dogs
Your pet doesn't have to be a thing or a person, of course. He could be a concept, like "love," or "patriotism." He could be a place. He could be a carrier — we've seen costumes where a dog bears a monkey in a saddle on his back, a cowboy, even a headless horseman. The two of you could wear coordinated costumes. The silliest pet costume we came across while researching this article was on the back of a basset hound. He was dressed as a strip of bacon.
Cat Halloween Ideas
Most cats aren't dress-up fans, so if you're planning to costume yours for Halloween, go minimalist. Be creative with collars, for example, adding bells, a bow or a dashing bowtie. Small capes suggesting royalty (or vampires) can work, and we've seen cats looking jaunty with ankle warmers. Whatever you choose, save her the humiliation of costuming her to look like a dog. Cats don't find that funny at all!

Fiskars and Duck Tape are teaming up to make the world smarter and more colorful together.
It's so easy with the new Fiskars® Duck® Edition scissors!
This felt wreath uses two materials, wire and felt. Create a circle from sturdy wire or a wire hanger. Begin by cutting one inch strips of felt in assorted colors using a rotary cutter with acrylic ruler on a cutting mat. Mine are 12 inches long, but any length will work as long as it is an even number.
Next punch a 1/16 inch hole one inch from the side and then every two inches along center of strip. When your length is an even number, your last hole will automatically end up one inch from the end as well. To make this process super simple, I created a 1x12 inch template from cardstock and punched holes using a 1/8 inch hole punch.
Place template over strip and mark each hole with a marker as a punching guide.
Once all holes are punched, all that is left to do is thread the felt strips onto wire form using an accordion pattern.
Twist the wire ends together. The wreath can be left like this, or I decided to twist the felt randomly for a more playful feel.
Covering a wreath form with punches adds lots of texture easily.
I like the look of monochromatic texture, so I set out to create a teal floral wreath. I began with a pre-made foam wreath and short sewing pins. I spray painted both with an indoor/outdoor paint to keep everything the same color. Place the pins into spare foam or packaging to spray. By altering the wreath base color, I am able to pin the flowers all over without worrying about another color showing through the gaps.
Next, get punching. Punch lots of flowers from teal cardstock. Try varying shades of teal for added interest. Pin the flowers onto wreath form to complete. Gently fold up flower petals for added texture.
This final wreath is definitely a party wreath. I wanted to create a colorful wreath I could bring out for any party. You could change up the colors to fit any event.
I cut out a base from chipboard (think cereal box) using the Super Sized Circle Templates as a guide. You can make it any size you wish. Paired with party streamers for the main material, this wreath is very inexpensive to make. Cut strips of crepe streamers long enough to wrap the perimeter of your wreath base. Cut four of each color and sew down the center.
Fold each sewn stack in half and trim off edges with pinking scissors or shears. I keep a pair of pinking shears just for paper projects since I use them so often. Fringe-cut the strips at each valley of pinked border as shown.
Ruffle out the strips by hand to give them fluff and volume.
Using hot glue at a low temp, adhere your first color around the outer edge of wreath base and the last color around the center as shown.
Continue with layers from each side until the middle is reached.
Do a final fluffing of the layers and you are ready to party!
I highly suggest giving wreath making a try. They are not only fun to make, but fun to display.

CHICAGO, May 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Nearly three of four (73%) moms consider themselves to be the "sole decision-maker" in the vehicle shopping process, according to an independent study by C+R Research, commissioned by Cars.com. As a growing number of consumers turn to online resources for information and transparency when making major purchases, women with children have emerged as a highly engaged group of shoppers.
"There's a lot for moms to consider when purchasing a new family vehicle, because their car is often tasked with hauling not only the entire family or carpool, but also all of the gear that goes along with them," said Jennifer Newman, Cars.com Expert Mom. "There's no such thing as the perfect family car because every family's needs are different. As a result, it's essential that shoppers do their research on sites like Cars.com/family to determine which features are a must and narrow down vehicle options. From there, visiting your local dealership for an in-person look and a test drive with the entire family is vital."
The study found that 71 percent of moms agree that shopping online for a new or used vehicle makes the process much easier, but more than half (68%) still prefer to conduct negotiations in person. Women with children desire long-term relationships with dealers, as the research shows that the majority (59%) prefers to purchase multiple vehicles from the same lot.
"It's important for dealers to remember that moms have done the same amount of research, if not more, than any other customer before stepping onto the lot, and they're confident in their ability to navigate the car buying process," said Jack Simmons, Manager of Dealer Training at Cars.com. "More than 60 percent of moms surveyed said they trust the information they find online more than what they're told from dealers, which means dealers need to go above and beyond to prove their authenticity and value. The good news is that moms are very loyal customers, and a great first impression can make a fan for life."
Although more than half (56%) of moms describe their overall feelings about auto dealerships as positive or somewhat positive, the majority (75%) still feel dealers are pushy and aggressive.
Key Findings:
The study, conducted by C+R Research, surveyed more than 1,000 shoppers, including 367 moms, who were planning to purchase a vehicle within the next six months or had done so within the previous six months.

The Fiscal Suicide Pact
We must engineer a long-term realignment of entitlements and taxes to avoid falling off the fiscal cliff.
Nothing more clearly illustrates the political bankruptcy of our national leadership than its failure to deal with the key issue facing America—how to cope with our debt and our deficit. Last year's deadlock over raising the debt ceiling, required to avoid default on our dollar debts, wasn't resolved by the president and Congressional leaders. They just kicked the can down the road by fudging together a concoction of government spending cuts and tax increases; it was not a policy review but more like a party game of "think of a number." For the Republican players, it was think of a larger number for spending cuts than the other side just mentioned, and for the Democratic players, it was think of a smaller number of tax reliefs than the Republicans put forth. Out of this reverse bidding war there emerged the package all knew was absurd but told a skeptical world would allow them time to work out a sensible budget by November and, in the "unlikely" event they couldn't, the whole mish-mash would come into law, without further legislative review, after December 31, 2012.
Talk about the clock striking midnight. This would be it. We'd then all tumble over the so-called fiscal cliff. Another name for it would be the Obama-Boehner postdated suicide pact. It takes some $600 billion out of an economy that never really got going after the crisis of 2008.
[See a collection of political cartoons on the fiscal cliff.]
This slapdash amalgam of cowardice and obstinacy, imposing a major shock to our economy, is not the way to change the velocity and direction of our unsustainable and dangerous fiscal trajectory. The tax increase is the largest component of the fiscal package deal, totaling about $532 billion. That includes letting the Bush-era tax provisions expire, so the top marginal tax rate would jump and capital gains taxes and dividend taxes would all go up. A total of 40 different tax benefits would vanish in a puff of smoke on New Year's Day. The second part of the deal is an automatic additional $109 billion of spending cuts, or sequestration. It's a killer blow that would impose a level of austerity on the economy so quickly, and in such a large amount, that it would not only slow down the economy, but also would almost certainly bring us another recession. Without a deal, the economy could swing from its current sub-2 percent growth rate to as much as a 2 percent decline. Indeed, a calculation by the Council on Foreign Relations shows that in the full calendar year, this would represent nearly a 4 percent reduction in gross national product. The head of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, was quite blunt in his assessment of how the effects on growth might be counteracted: "I don't think our tools are strong enough to offset the effects."
This year alone we are looking at a fiscal deficit now estimated around $1.1 trillion, or roughly 7 percent of GDP. This is the equivalent of adding $25 billion of debt every week and is clearly unsustainable.
[Read more from Mort Zuckerman in U.S. News Weekly, an insider's guide to politics and policy.]
We must never forget the power of compound interest on our mammoth deficits. Escalating interest costs will add to the debt to the point of absorbing over 20 percent of our revenue base in the coming years. This will have an enormous impact on our fiscal flexibility and on what the government has to do in order to keep our economy healthy and improve the quality of life of all of our people. We cannot just put off the evil day. Procrastination here is like putting off repairing a bridge (another thing we are good at postponing until the bridge falls down), dooming us to fall into an abyss created by two parties in a gridlock the American people have protested year after year. We need short-term pain for long-term gain.
If we don't deal with our deficits, the ratio of debt to GDP will inexorably climb from its current level of around 73 percent today to over 90 percent, jeopardizing the entire financial stability of the United States. A terrible prospect for us, and a worse one for the next generation. The electorate is continually underestimated. People are not stupid. By and large, they are more pragmatic than dogmatic. They understand that we are facing a critical issue in the form of the debt ceiling, which the whole world watches. In 2011, Congress authorized a debt limit of $16.4 trillion. Today our national debt is around $16.3 trillion, and the estimate is that the federal deficit will reach the debt ceiling before the end of this year or shortly thereafter. This is the most dangerous component of the fiscal cliff and will be the driving force behind any deal reached during the lame-duck session of Congress. Without raising the debt ceiling, the country faces a potential default that would lead to a significant downgrade of its credit rating, one that would reverberate through the global capital markets.

Police found the victim and suspect in a parking lot near Cornhusker Highway and South 15th St.
Twenty-four-year-old Adrian Ross was taken into custody and charged with one count of false imprisonment.
The woman was unharmed.
