These are great and very low calorie! The first time I made them I used quick oats and soaked them for an hour, which made them completely unnoticeable. We were disappointed that they weren't more "oaty". So the next time I used old-fashioned oats and only soaked them as long as it took me to get the rest of the ingredients together (about half an hour) which gave them a chewier texture and an "oaty" flavor he really likes. As suggested by other reviewers I added spices- 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. The store was out of buttermilk so I used regular with a Tablespoon of vinegar. They turned out wonderfully.
If you want non-sugary, soft, non-crumbly and healthy muffins this is the PERFECT recipe. I made these muffins for my 10 month old daughter and very picky 3 year old son and they LOVED them. I used white flour because I was out of wheat, I used organic no sugar added applesauce, I decreased the brown sugar to about 1/4 of a cup packed and then loaded the batter with fresh ripe good quality blueberries. I made mini muffins and each muffin has 3 to 4 big blueberries in it. They were perfect for little ones. If you are having trouble with this recipe try weighing the flour. Once I started weighing my flour to measure, all my recipes come out perfect. Since these muffins have very little fat you have to grease the pan completely or they will stick. Also, if you are looking for full flavor and sweet this is not the recipe for you. You can add spices and more sugar as suggested if you want that.
To up the fiber and cholesterol fighting factor here's my recipe: 1c multi-grain oats, 1c flour, 1/2c of whole ground flaxseed meal, 1/3c of oat bran, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda. In separate bowl mix together: 1c applesauce, 1/2c 1% milk, 1/2c brown sugar, 1/4c of canola oil (or extra applesauce, but I used the oil), 1 egg. Add wet ingredients to dry ones. Then to the mix I added almond slivers and 2/3c of dried cranberries. Before baking lightly top each muffin with a mixture of 2/3c oats, 3 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp applesauce, 1 tsp cinnamon. Spray mini-muffin pan, in dark pan bake at 350 degrees for 16-18 minutes. Makes 3 dozen mini-muffins. Each mini is about 85 calories, most are from fiber and grains, but you can cut this number back substantially by using applesauce instead of oil.

When Salina and Locust Grove lace up their cleats tonight, more is at stake than just starting the season at 1-0.
In the Battle of 82, nothing is ever that simple.
Salina saw its four-game winning streak in the highway series snapped last season on a last-minute Locust Grove go-ahead touchdown drive and game-sealing interception. Locust Grove's Mason Fine tossed the game-winning score to Cameron McIntire, and senior Colton Witt picked off Salina's Cale Backward to bring the title of 'Battle of 82 Champions' back south with a 22-17 win.
The Wildcats think the Pirates have had the title long enough. They want it back — and they're going to have to go and get it.
"It makes us hungry as a football team. It was really close, it wasn't a blowout. We lost by five points in a controversial game," Backward, now a senior, said. "It means a lot. It hurt, but we moved on. We had the same record as them last year, but they got the better of us in that game."
"I think that catapulted us last year," Locust Grove head coach Matt Hennesy said. "It gave our kids a lot of belief in our program. We won it in the fourth quarter. It led into a great summer (of conditioning)."
Hennesy's counterpart in Salina, head coach Kyle Fowler, is entering his third season as the Wildcats' admiral. He's 1-1 in the series, including the loss in 2012.
"Our kids feel like they have a little revenge factor," Fowler said. "They'll get in there and do what we need to do to bring it back up here, up north."
Fine, now a sophomore, will take over as the Pirates' full-time quarterback, having never tasted defeat in the rivalry. Backward, meanwhile, will have his only shot at redemption tonight.
"It's my last year," said Backward. "No one remembers freshman through junior year. It's all your senior year, whether you win it or not. I'd like to carry it for the rest of my life, the memory of winning it senior year."
Down south, confidence has reached a fever pitch. The Pirates' mind-blowing offensive statistics from their two preseason scrimmages have fans in Locust Grove smelling more than just the beginning of a winning streak in a rivalry series — though that would be a good start.
Locust Grove's seniors will head into the game as defending champions for the first time in their careers.
Most of them, anyway.
"Last year, I was injured, so I never got on the field. As far as I'm concerned, I've never beat them," Cory Rohde, a linebacker and tailback, said. He'll get his last chance against the Wildcats Thursday. "Everyone's coming to watch this game. There are people that don't even live here that are coming to watch it," Rohde said.
"You feel like you're playing for a 6A title game with all those people there," senior Ryan Woolman said, "but it's just a little rivalry game between 2A Salina and 3A Locust Grove."
Rohde and Woolman — also known as the Smash Brothers — anchor the Legion of Doom defense. Both are chomping at the bit to start bringing down some Wildcat ball carriers.
Woolman, a two-way lineman, admitted that nerves can be running a little high with all of those eyes on the field, but with his size (6-foot-2, 255 pounds) and strength (he bench-presses 425 pounds), it's only a matter of time before he slips into the game. "After that first hit, all your chills are gone," he said. "I'm looking forward to getting in on every tackle."
For Woolman, the contest is even more personal. He used to attend school with many of the players on Salina's roster, including the guy he's going to be aiming to bring down most often — Salina running back and linebacker Bret Fite.
"We're friends, but for those four quarters, we don't speak much of friends," Fite said.
"Our kids know all their kids, they know all of us," Fowler said. "I don't anticipate anything but a war, just like it always is. They are going to be a much improved team. Coach Hennesy is doing a great job over there with them, he's got them believing in his system."
Hennesy was a stranger to the rivalry last season, but one game and one win later, he's firmly entrenched in the rabidly-contested tradition.
"When I first took the job, they said 'We'd rather you go 1-9 and win that one than go 9-1 and lose that one,'" Hennesy said. "I kind of laughed the first time I heard that, but after about the fifteenth time, I said, 'Dang, they're serious.'"
The importance of the annual skirmish was a mild shock to the big-school veteran, but coaching at the smallest school in his career, Hennesy didn't initially believe the hype surrounding the game's atmosphere.
"They said 'You ain't never played in a game like this,'" Hennesy recalled. "I'm thinking, 'Well, I played at Kansas State. I won three state championships at Jenks, coached in the Jenks-Union games, went to the state semifinals with Muskogee in front of 15,000 people.'
"Last year, we get over there ..." Hennesy's eyes get wide. "... I ain't never played a game like that."
Fite, who missed the game last season, is confident in the Wildcats' chances this year. "We're stronger, we're faster. I feel like we're more physical than we were last year," Fite said. "I think that's always going to give us a better chance of giving us a better result at the end of the game."
In a pressure-filled contest, it can be difficult to gauge how players will react. Backward, who is entering his final year as the Salina signal-caller, has plenty of experience under his belt — and he welcomes the pressure.
"There's a lot on your shoulders as the quarterback. You have the ball every play, but I wouldn't have it any other way," he said. "I don't want anyone else having to carry it, I want me. It's a lot of pressure, but I kind of like it."
Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m at Leonard Yarborough Stadium in Locust Grove.

Gary Allan sweeps Billboard charts with 'Set You Free'
With the release of his ninth studio album, "Set You Free," last week, Gary Allan landed a first of his own when the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Album chart. The country star has topped his own genre's chart before, but this week his work stood above bestselling albums from The Lumineers, Bruno Mars and A$AP Rocky and new releases from Randy Houser, Bad Religion and Casting Crowns.
"Set You Free" (you can read my review of the album here) also topped the Country Album Chart and its debut single, "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)," was No. 1 on the Country Airplay, Digital Sales and Hot Country Songs charts.
As a thank-you to fans, Allan is offering a free download of an exclusive acoustic version of the new single at GaryAllan.com.
Watch the video for "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)" below. You can also catch Allan in concert at The Rave on Feb. 15. Tickets are available at TheRave.com.

I agree about holding out for a stick with high miles. Much easier to feel comfortable with an engine, and certainly a manual trans/clutch, at that mileage.
2013 Acura RDX (wife's), 2007 Volvo S40 (when daughter lets me see it), 2000 Acura TL (formerly son's, now mine again), and new Jetta SE (son's first new car on his own dime!)
Love the color (pretty sure my wife would hate it!). And well equipped. 26K for a 2011 does nto seem all that bad, considering what MSRP must have been!

Vehicle transport...that's the job! The perfect gig for the car guy in me actually. Turns out another guy on the crew walks with a cane so I'm not alone. The best part is that I can probably work as much as I'd like, if he calls me. The key here was flexibility since he usually calls in the morning and we need to be at the meeting area within an hour and a half or so. Knowing the night before is good so I can pack a meal and drinks so I can save some cash. I just jump on the turnpike and if the traffic g-ds are smiling down on me, I can be there within 20 minutes give or take. there's all sorts of construction towards the end there so that can be dicey.
I'm an independent contractor so the wife mentioned to me I need to keep excellent records for tax purposes. I'll need to pay quarterly stuff and self employment taxes, but since she's a CPA, I'll just give her my figures. Some meals and mileage will also be deductible. Makes my head spin! But this is the perfect retirement job no doubt. Getting paid to do something I love is just the icing on the cake!

Long day yesterday. We met at 10:30 and had to do a run of cars from Miami airport back to Lauderdale, the company was Sixt or something like that. Then back down to MIA to pick up our fleet from Hertz. Delays kept us waiting so we left there at 2:30ish. After a quick lunch stop, I hit I-75 which takes one across Alligator Alley and then up to Tampa airport. One of the older guys said to just set the cruise at 76 and book it. Good advice as several of the folks that blew right passed me were pulled over by the state troopers who were out in full force! Got just past Naples as rush hour hit so was bumper to bumper for a spell. Got to the meeting place located just before the Sunshine Bridge about 6:30 which was great as Mr. Bladder was knocking at the door. Turned out I was the 3rd one of the team to arrive. One guy got lost leaving Miami and had numerous issues locating and getting onto the Alley, a gps would be very helpful as I will probably borrow the wife's at some point. He was over an hour late and then getting the cars to the airport was a nightmare...too little space for all the cars, I mean there were cars everywhere. Finally, the workers just told us to park 'em and they took over. By the time we left and made a dinner stop, it was late so we ended up back at base at 12:40. I was tired and my spine hurt but an exciting day!
The crew chief mentioned that he got runs for today and tomorrow. Since they were meeting at 8 a m, decided it was prudent of me to rest the back and relax today. Signed up for tomorrows run which commences at 9:30. Sunday should be an easy driving day. Since this is a "part time" gig, I'd love to work every other day depending on if there is work and where they need to go. He doesn't usually know until that same day so flexibility is a must, something I've got plenty of. I just need to be smart and not hurt myself and have a spasm attach which usually puts me down for days at a time. Obviously, the more I work, the more $ I can make. Also, mentally, it's great to have some place to be after being home for so long. How much t v or computer viewing can one person do. And finally, I found a place that doesn't see my cane dependance as a liability that will actually hire an middle aged guy who wants to work, jobs are hard enough to find at my age with people who walk normally! A win win for us.

fintail Posts: 33,515Sixt, I have rented from them many times, BIG in Germany, just entering the US market. I rented a MB E350 from them in FLL last year, some silly rate around $40/day. Sixt has some highline cars in its US fleet - MB C/E sedan and cabrio (!)/GLK/ML/SLK and maybe even GL, Volvos, at least a few BMWs, etc. Sounds like a fun job, paid to drive new cars back and forth.
Speaking of Altimas from earlier (I am kind of a rental car spotter), noticed a 2012 Altima hybrid rental in traffic yesterday, kind of uncommon.
sandy, just curious, but how do they pay? by the mile, hour, day? If by the hour, dead time sitting around does not sound so bad!

This car is very impressive in the compact field. The auto tranny is super smooth unlike the Ford Focus's unit...I find it reacts quickly without much of a problem. Some might not like the purplish colors of the dash but I really like it as well as the whole layout. Don't get me wrong, the Focus is a very nice car and I'm definitely not a Ford guy, just find the auto tranny not to my liking. In the hatch version, it's a real looker especially in red and in SEL package. Just think the Hyundai is a notch above in all ways but just by a smidge. The Focus is that good that some days I really think it'll be my next ride! The cockpit area is more driver oriented than the Elantra as many reviewers have mentioned. The seats also envelope the driver a bit more snug, not a bad thing actually. The sedan leaves me cold though but the hatch is proportioned beautifully. I do think the Elantra GT is still a better overall vehicle and am anxious to finally drive one. I especially like the warranty Hyundai has as standard with each vehicle, a better deal than Ford or the other company's. All personal preference I know, but that's what makes folks purchase what they do purchase.
Curious to see how they've improved the Civic over the generation I drive now. Just in the past week, I've noticed how it just doesn't feel or drive like the new crop of compact cars I've driven. It's hard to put into words but my Civic, though pretty tight, just feels old compared to the new generation of compact car. Not a bad thing, but now I just want to trade mine in even more, something I won't do as the mileage is so low and it's a bonehead move financially. At least I get to feed my car fix with each new rental I transport and that my friends, will have to do! The only drawback right now, one of the older drivers I work with is a bit on the "cranky" side and he doesn't like me because of my "enthusiasm" so my crew chief told me this morning when we talked. The other drivers I talked to also mentioned that he's "cranky and mean spirited", so I know it's not me. I mentioned he'd been a bit rude to me and was confused as I've been very professional with him and very polite. Turns out he likes to be "the first" to choose from among the cars and resents when I make a beeline for what I want to drive that trip. All the other drivers, there are male and female folks, are all very nice. A mother/son team, a few nice ladies and the rest retired guys like me but all in their 60's and above. I don't like confrontation so I will just keep my distance and let this guy choose 1st as I won't enable someone else's rude behavior. I really thought I left this kind of behavior back in grade school!!

Brought some snacks and drinks the 2nd day on the job and worked out pretty well. But like yesterday, he called at 9:10 for a 10:30 meeting so I didn't have much in the house and still had to shower and eat breakfast. But am going to the food store soon to buy appropriate stuff to eat so I don't have to do fast food...too much of that crap will kill ya...rapidly!

I have sad news. Our dear Jedidiah (Wayne M. Fishburn) has passed away on the 26th of January. His information is in the Bangor Daily News Obituaries. We will all miss him.
You're welcome kid! Funny, the price went up slightly still, went up at the pump by only a penny or two or three here at some of them, then it's gone down at all of them, and gone up by 10 to 35 cents a gallon in other parts of the country and yet on the wholesale market, it went up slightly, then it's been going up and down in a range of $2.62 to $2.69 a gallon ever since! Up two to four days, down one to three days! Still in that range now. Most of the big players got out of it! It should be trending down soon though for all of us, at least a little bit and for a short term of one to five weeks. I hope so anyhow!

text: After 15 years of dedication and effort, Mickey Grana has his racetrack. "There were a lot of naysayers and rumors, people who said we weren't going to build a racetrack," Grana said at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway's inaugural event in early April. "Well, I think we've proved them wrong!" Grana couldn't have done it without Matt Johnson and Guy Evans, the primary investors on whose property the facility sits. The pair's interest in flying prompted them to buy the old World War II airport outside Desert Center, California; but aside from the airstrip, the 1100-acre property had little value. Meanwhile, Grana had been dreaming of creating a racetrack, and as the long-standing operator of SoCal Trackdays had all the financial and demographic data to convince his friends it was a worthwhile endeavor. The CVR team (left to right): Mickey Grana, Guy Evans and Matt Johnson. Together these three hope to turn a dilapidated airport in the desert into the Southwest's premier motorsports venue. The CVR team (left to right): Mickey Grana, Guy Evans and Matt Johnson. Together these thr Race school proprietor Ed Bargy, who'd previously designed tracks in Talladega, Alabama, and Jennings, Florida, worked closely with Grana and former AMA Pro Jason Pridmore to put the final touches on CVR. While most tracks are designed with cars in mind, CVR was developed for riders by riders, and puts motorcycles foremost. "Our number-one priority was rider safety," said Bargy, "but we also put a lot of focus on making the track fun and challenging." The black-and-yellow paint on the curbing had barely dried before the press was invited to sample the new 2.7-mile, 17-turn circuit. The layout features an even balance of short straights and turns, with everything from off-cambers to the 10-degree-banked Bowl Turn and mini-Corkscrew Turn 8/9 downhill chicane. The freshly paved surface offers excellent grip and is very smooth, except for a few areas that we're told will be ground down in the near future. The track is all about corner speed, and favors rhythm and finesse over horsepower. It's an easy track to learn, but there are undoubtedly many secrets still to be discovered. As it stands now, CVR has everything but a straight long enough to let a literbike breathe. Thus talk of a faster "Pro Track" is enticing. As it stands now, CVR has everything but a straight long enough to let a literbike breathe And Grana claims more pavement is coming soon: "We've been approved to build two more racetracks, and we'll continue to gather input to see what the riders want." Garages, observation decks, a 20,000-square-foot club- house and a 1.5-megawatt solar farm are also in the works. The plan sounds grandiose, but Grana remains confident, saying they have the permits, funding and ambition to pull it off.

Jacksonville Daily Progress
A Jacksonville outreach minister plans to lobby the city council to prohibit the practice of "sagging" – wearing drooping britches that expose underwear.
Calvin Brown, founder of the recently-established men's outreach ministry "Brothers On The Move," initially approached the Jacksonville City Council about the matter during the public comments portion of their July 9 meeting. Brown later told a Jacksonville Daily Progress reporter he is looking to collect enough signatures on a petition to convince the council it is the will of the people.
Brown, 41, said he considers sagging to be a very real and dangerous problem for kids.
"Many of the kids who do this don't know its history – that it started in the prison system," Brown said.
City Manager Mo Raissi said he immediately started looking into the issue after hearing from Brown. Raissi said Tuesday that private businesses such as various airlines and bus authorities have had more success prohibiting sagging than government entities.
And actually, city councils and legislatures have hit a few walls trying to prohibit sagging in the past because it revolves around the issue of civil rights, he said.
"This is a constitutional right," Raissi explained. "We had our attorney look into it a few years ago. After the last council meeting I asked Police Chief Reece Daniel to call his fellow chiefs around Texas and ask if anything has been done about it since then. We have yet to find a city that has done anything."
"Sagging" is, by definition, the practice of wearing slacks, shorts, pants or jeans that sag so low they hang below the waist and often reveal, for instance, brightly colored and pattered boxer underwear.
Snopes.com – a reference website for urban legends, Internet rumors and other stories – has verified that Brown is correct: the practice of sagging did originate in United States prisons.
This practice became very common because of the lack of belts in prison. Belts were prohibited there so they could not be used as instruments of suicide or to harm others.
In the 1990s, many hip-hop artists such as Ice-T adopted the style outside prison walls, according to Snopes.
While "sagging" is practiced primarily by men, some women have adopted a variation of it. This involves wearing low-rise jeans that display G-string underwear.
Brown, who grew up in Jacksonville, said he watched the practice of sagging evolve and it was very disheartening. Brown graduated from Jacksonville High School around 1990. He attends White's Temple Church of God in Christ. He has been married to his wife Crystal for five years and has six children.
Brown said ultimately he worries about the influence sagging will have on youngsters – specifically the negative effect it could have on one's work ethic and ability to function normally in today's society.
"Think about it like this: A young person applies for a job," Brown said. "Say you're the boss. Would you as that boss be willing to hire someone who dresses like that? This boy could be the best worker you'd ever meet. But could you bring yourself to hire someone whose pants droop like that? I really don't think that I could."
Brown said youngsters who practice sagging become part of a mob mentality, which he perceives as problematic. "They are only doing this because everyone else does," he said. "And I wonder: do they know they are perpetuating a prison practice? And if so, do they care? It's really getting out of hand."
Other cities and states around the country have made their own attempts to prohibit sagging.
For example, on June 12, 2013, the Wildwood New Jersey Town council unanimously voted to ban sagging pants from its boardwalk. That issue is still evolving.
The legislatures in Texas and Virginia apparently halted efforts to ban sagging when they learned state residents greatly opposed such a measure, reports show.
As Raissi said, private businesses have had significantly more success banning sagging than governmental entities.
"The issue is being careful not to violate any state or federal laws in the process because if you do that, you're in a lot of trouble," Raissi said.
Some efforts to curb sagging in recent memory:
• In Fort Worth in June 2011, the transportation authority – known as "The T" – created a policy that prohibited any passengers from coming aboard a bus with sagging pants – particularly if it exposes their underwear or rear end.
Slogans for the effort included "Pull 'em up or find another ride." As many as 50 people were removed from the city bus the first day the pouchy was enforced.
• In May 2004, Louisiana legislators tried to create House Bill 1626. This HB would have made it illegal to wear, in public, clothing that "intentionally exposes undergarments or intentionally exposes any portion of the pubic hair, cleft of the buttocks or genitals." HB 1626 was ultimately killed by the state's senate.
• In February 2005, the Virginia House of Delegates passed the "Droopy Drawers Bill." This legislation created a $50 fine that could be imposed on on people who were "sagging" to the point their underwear was visible in a "lewd or indecent manner."
However, the Droopy Drawers Bill was killed by a senate committee a couple of days later.
• In Florida, a state law was created prohibiting sagging at any school. First time offenders were verbally warned, while second timers had their parents notified by the school principal. Further offenses resulted in in school suspension.
• Airlines adopted similar policies. A University of New Mexico football player was kicked off a U.S. Airways flight en route to Albuquerque, New Mexico for wearing sagging pants.
Months later, Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong was booted off a Southwest Airlines flight en route from Oakland to Burbank, California. He, too, was sagging.
• An Alabama County circuit judge sentenced a 20-year-old man to three days in jail in April 2012 for wearing sagging blue jeans in court that exposed his underwear.
The judge, John Bush, told the defendant, "You are in contempt of court because you showed your (rear end) in court."
Ultimately, Brown said he sees sagging as a very bad influence and a major problem for both children and parents.
Brown intends to personally create a website to help monitor the issue through his new outreach ministry.
He can be reached at email@example.com or by cell at 903-372-6080.
"It's time to pull those pants up off the ground," Brown said.

Argiope aurantia
Argiope aurantia, is one of three local species of argiope orb weavers. The female golden garden spider measures 0.67 inches (17 mm). Its abdomen has two anterior bumps; the top is black with large yellow spots or patches; the carapace is silvery to yellowish-white with brown markings; the sternum is black with white stripe down the middle. The smaller male measures 0.24 inches (6 mm). The top of the abdomen is black with a pair of light stripes running lengthwise; the carapace is brownish with white setae.
Range and Habitat
This species ranges from Washington to Nova Scotia, south to Guatemala and Baja California. It can be found in coastal areas of San Diego County.
Golden garden spiders have an annual life cycle with males maturing in July and August and females maturing from August to October. In late fall, the mature female lays her eggs, and the hatchlings overwinter in an egg sac. In spring, they emerge and disperse.
These spiders build their webs in herbaceous plants in open habitats such as fields and gardens. A web may reach a diameter of two feet, with a zigzag pattern of silk in the center. This pattern strengthens the structure of the web, camouflages the spider, and may help attract insects.
The female golden garden spider sits in the center of the web during the day, holding her abdomen upward and aiming her eyes and mouth-parts downward. She places her legs together in pairs, which gives the appearance of four instead of eight legs. When disturbed, she vibrates the silk orb to appear larger and more threatening. If that doesn't frighten away the intruder, she drops to the ground and hides.
The male spider usually builds a smaller web at the outer edge of the female's. He waits there until the female is receptive to mating.
In late fall, the mature female lays her eggs and the hatchlings overwinter in an egg sac. In spring, they emerge and disperse.

TOWNSEND -- A Townsend woman who lost three rings that belonged to her parents has found them, thanks to the help of strangers who saw her plea for help in the Townsend Times.
Cynthia Donovan Schuster reached out to the Times last month after realizing that she had lost three rings -- her mother's engagement ring and both of her parents' wedding bands.
She said the loss of the rings was devastating
"The rings themselves, they're not of great value, but they're of sentimental value. They're the world to me," Donovan Schuster said.
After the story was published, she said she received a call from former Police Chief William May, who offered to come and help search and suggested other places to check, including local pawn shops.
On Nov. 27, May and his wife, Jeanne, came from their New Hampshire home to Donovan Schuster's house in the pouring rain. They had with them a high-powered metal detector and a plan to search the yard where Donovan Schuster plays with her children.
Although she originally thought the rings had been lost in a grocery store parking lot, Donovan Schuster and the Mays searched the yard, thinking they could have fallen off while she was swinging her young sons.
"The more we walked, the less hopeful I was until Mr. May had a beep that just put butterflies in my stomach and made me weak in the knees. There, laying on the ground, was a wedding band. Then another and another but the engagement ring wasn't with them. A few long agonizing minutes later, I heard Mrs. May announce she found the diamond. I couldn't believe my eyes. My heart skipped a beat," she said.
Donovan Schuster said she's grateful for the Mays' kindness and willingness to sacrifice their own time to help someone they didn't even know.
"What a beautiful couple, to come here -- the day before Thanksgiving. To care about a complete stranger, and go that far out of their own way and bring me what can only be described as a feeling of wholeness again. They gave me back a piece of my heart. My father. My rings. Words can't explain how grateful I am," she said.
Not only did Donovan Schuster find the three missing rings -- she found a fourth as well, which had been lost years earlier.
"I had a band that I used to wear for years on my thumb but I lost that one shortly after moving into our house in 2010. What are the chances that the rings would all be lost in the same spot, years apart from each other? I completely forgot about the third wedding band. But there is a higher power out there. I am sure of that, and they wanted me to have all my rings," she said.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. /quotes/zigman/154700/delayed/quotes/nls/fcx FCX -1.80% rose as much as 5% to $32.38 in early trades Friday, leading percentage gainers in the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX -0.67% . The move comes two days after the company announced an agreement to buy energy companies McMoRan Exploration and Plains Exploration & Production Co. in a $9 billion deal. Including assumption of the two companies' debt, the deal is worth $20 billion. Investors' initial reaction to the news on Wednesday pushed Freeport-McMoRan shares 16% lower. While analysts' view on the move has been mixed, Oracle Investment Research gave Freeport-McMoRan a strong buy recommendation Friday, calling the recent selloff an opportunity to participate in a "big picture" commodity cycle upswing. Oracle analysts put a $60 price target on Freeport-McMoRan stock.

Friendly clean and a great bar to
Advertised as a budget hotel this exceeded expectations, from the friendly greeting on arrival to the efficent checking out this was a good experience. The unexpected gem was Chambers the attached bar / restaurant that has a wonderful atmosphere and served up the best meal I have had in a long while. Only stayed the one night but breakfast was also good, even though we were not down till almost the end of the session yet there was still plenty of everything available and hot. Ok the hotel isnt 5star luxury but it never claims to be, but for its price location and overall presentation it was perfect for me and I wouldnt hesitate to book there again
Not Good
If you are part of a stag or hen party then this hotel will be ok for you.
If you like to sleep at night then think again
Terrible customer service - Never going again
Have stayed at this hotel previously without any issues - central, quiet, good varied breakfast, clean basic rooms, same as other holiday inn expresses basically. However had the misfortune to stay there recently. All was fine - myself and my room mate went to have showers late Sunday morning prior to our late check out (and going for a flight) and shower was cold - phoned reception, assured that it would be fine shortly, staff visted room, checked and said try in a few minutes and it would work .... did so, still cold .... phoned reception again, gave up waiting and started to use shower .... told was an issue on whole of floor (worrying as we were a late check out, could a hotel run out of warm water) told could use another room .... but on separate floor and over other side of hotel .... it was the indignation that we were greeted with when we checked out which was the most galling. I know that all hotels can have problems but to be greeted by a smile from one member of staff and a shrug from another when we stated that we were not happy with what happened is insulting ... it may be minor but, in my view, shows a lack of respect for paying customers! NEVER GOING THERE AGAIN
Great breakfast! friendly staff
We enjoyed our stay knowing this was a budget hotel.Not too far from the city centre and reasonably priced.Clean well kept, overall good value!
Good except heat and noise
Stayed two nights on one of many business trips to Belfast. The Hotel is located close to many resturants in the University district of South Belfast. Reception staff are efficient and welcoming. A cooked breakfast buffet was included in room price.
Great Value Hotel
I stayed for four nights. Its very good value. The Buffet Breakfast was excellent, a good variety of food and always well stocked.
The staff were generally very young, always had a smile and were very very helpful.
My room was adequate and the shower was good, maintaining a good pressure at all times.
For the money charged, this is a really good value Hotel.
Its only a short walk from the Centre of Belfast.
Excellent Value
This hotel is as described in the previous reviews, bland (and why not?), efficient, and in a nice neighborhood. The early morning continetal self-service breakfast was excellent - and self service is a great improvement on porr service. I was delighted with the good value that this hotel represents - so as it delivers exactly what it promises - I rate it excellent.
Predictable, reliable....and bland
This is very much the standard Holiday Inn Express experience. Rooms are reliably functional, if a little bland. The hotel is 'non-service', so don't expect the fripperies that 3*+ hotels normally provide (and normally charge the earth for).
That said, the location is good, in a salubrious student-dominated suburb within easy access of the city centre and a five minute walk from the very appealing bars and restaurants of Malone Road and Botanic Avenue.
If you want a reliable hotel at modest cost in an appealing location, this is the place for you; if you're after something with character, try elsewhere.
Nice Hotel
We stayed in the Holiday Inn Express in Belfast on 5th February 2005. The Hotel was in an excellent location as there are really good bars and restaurants nearby. We initially were given a room that was supposed to be non smoking which smelt quite strongly of smoke and the lights didn't work, but this was quickly resolved and we were given another room that was ok except it had a shower for the disabled. Apart from this the hotel was clean, the staff were v helpful and we really enjoyed our stay.
Clean and comfortable
A clean and comfortable place to stay, decent double room with cable tv, decent bathroom and competent staff who all seemed very young and inexperienced but nonetheless competent. The place is built from a hotel template so there will be no pleasant surprises here, you get what you expect but nothing else... which is fine. No room service.
They have a carpark which is handy for this city.

By LOHR McKINSTRY
---- — ELIZABETHTOWN — Alcohol and tobacco use dropped, but marijuana smoking rose in a new study of student behavior conducted in Essex County schools.
All school districts in the county participated in the Preventive Needs Assessment Survey of students in grades 7 through 12.
The survey, sponsored by the Essex County Youth Bureau and coordinated by the County Prevention Team of Ticonderoga, saw 76 percent of high-school students in the county participating.
"It's a snapshot of student behaviors and risk factors," Prevention Team Executive Director Douglas Terbeek said. "It's helpful information."
The survey should not be used to bash students, parents or schools, he said.
"(It's) a look at the county profile, some highlights of student behaviors, positive as well as not-so-positive behaviors."
The publicly released information is not broken down by school district, he said, because schools would not participate if they thought they were going to be singled out for problem behaviors.
"The schools have their own individual profile report, which is a subset of this data," Terbeek said.
Some schools are using the data for planning purposes, he said.
One part of the study compared the year 2008 to 2012.
It showed alcohol use by seventh-graders was 38 percent in 2008 and 24 percent now. For 12th-grade students, alcohol use went from 66 to 53 percent.
In 12th grade, those who had tried smoking dropped from 32 to 27 percent. It declined from 11 to 10 percent for those who'd smoked in the last 30 days.
"The good news is the numbers are going down," Terbeek said.
One number that went up is 12th-graders' use of marijuana, from 27 to 29 percent.
Marijuana use also went up for seventh-graders, from 3 to 6 percent.
"It is not some sort of definitive measure of what is going on, (but) it tells us and suggests communities where we might want to explore further," Prevention Coordinator Mac MacDevitt said.
The alcohol data is especially good to have, he said, because "most people who drink start when they're young."
The alcohol industry markets to youth and tries to set brand loyalty, he said.
He said alcohol misuse drives up taxes, probation costs, traffic crashes, injuries, welfare, high-risk sex and fetal-alcohol syndrome.
"Kids are not trying to buy alcohol at stores," Terbeek said. "That's a very small percentage. But they are trying to find adults to buy it for them."
Control questions in the survey weeded out students who were not truthful, MacDevitt said.
"Are they being honest? Are they making something up? This is their perception, their outlook, their reported behaviors and what they perceive in their communities. It's actually pretty good data."
Supervisor Roby Politi (R-North Elba) said the information derived from the survey is so important it should be sent home to all parents.
It is now available on Essex County's website: www.co.essex.ny.us.
"This is a community-wide problem," MacDevitt said. "The idea is to work on these factors to make alcohol use less desirable."
Crown Point Central School Superintendent Shari Brannock said her school uses the Preventive Needs Assessment Survey to tailor programs to students.
"Doug Terbeek is coming to address the Board of Education, and we'll talk about what we need to do. The information shows us where we need to concentrate efforts."

Tonawanda News — Last week Gov. Andrew Cuomo made a lot of headlines with his State of the State Address. Different things stuck with different people, but the one that most caught my eye was the topic of medical marijuana.
The governor reached into the books to find a law from three decades ago that gave him the ability to — by executive decree — allow as many as 20 hospitals across the state to dispense marijuana to people with certain severe illnesses as an "experimental" research project.
I put "experimental" in quotes just because it's funny.
According to Cuomo, people with cancer, glaucoma and possibly some other "life-threatening or sense-threatening" conditions could seek to get marijuana through studies based at hospitals yet to be named, with "stringent research protocols and eligibility requirements."
Cancer and glaucoma are specifically named. Other than that, it's a craps shoot. What about all the other things that doctors and scientists have said medical marijuana could help with? What about multiple sclerosis, a subject near and dear to my heart? What about epilepsy, Tourette's, arthritis, asthma, Crohn's disease, migraines, nausea, eating disorders? What about anxiety or restlessness? What about people who just plain feel better when they smoke a joint?
New York has a reputation for being a wacky liberal state. We're bluer than blue. But it wasn't until a few years ago that gay marriage was recognized here. And we're still trying to figure out legalizing medical marijuana when 19 other states (and the District of Columbia) already have it on the books. There are two states — Colorado and Washington — that have OK'd it just for pleasure.
How can we possibly be behind Colorado and Washington?
I want to applaud Gov. Cuomo for making a first step, assuming that's really what he is trying to do. I'd like to think that a guy name Cuomo would have a radical liberal agenda to turn us all into pot-smoking, tree-hugging, gay-marrying hippies. But I doubt it.

MODIS/Terra Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance 16-Day L3 Global 1km SIN GridEntry ID: MOD43B4
Abstract: This product has been decommissioned.
Every 16 days, the MODIS BRDF/Albedo Product (MOD43B) algorithm relies on multi-date, atmospherically corrected, cloud-cleared data and a semi-empirical kernel-driven bi-directional reflectance model to determine a global set of parameters describing the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) of the land surface. These one-kilometer gridded ... parameters are then used to determine directional hemispherical reflectance ("black-sky albedo"),
bi-hemispherical reflectance ("white-sky albedo"), and nadir BRDF-adjusted reflectance (NBAR) for seven narrow spectral bands and (in the case of albedo) three broad bands. Since the parameters of the simple kernel-based BRDF model (Ross-Thick/Li-Sparse Reciprocal) are also provided, along with extensive quality information, the MODIS BRDF/Albedo Product offers members of the global observation and modeling community the additional flexibility to derive reflectance and albedo measures particularly suited to their specific applications.
MOD43B is a MODLAND Level-3 Product and is provided globally as discrete 1200 by 1200 element tiles in a Sinusoidal Grid projection in a HDF-EOS format. MOD43B1 provides the BRDF model parameters, MOD43B2 provides an alternative set of model parameters, MOD43B3 provides the black-sky albedo (at a solar zenith angle of 45 degrees) and the white-sky albedo, and MOD43B4 provides the Nadir BRDF-Adjusted Reflectance (NBAR) value at the mean solar zenith angle of the 16-day period. Quality information is replicated and available with each product.

Here's what multiplayer looks like in the new Tomb Raider
The new Tomb Raider will feature the first ever multiplayer experience in the history of the series. The re-imagination for Tomb Raider was originally focused on the single player experience, but after looking at Guardians of Light, the development team realized they needed multiplayer.
Eidos Montreal is leading up the multiplayer development. Lara Croft won't be alone. The focus is on the group surviving together and the traversal of levels. The environment can be a threat to players, so look out for explosive ammo boxes and other traps.
Have a look at the video below--the fourth Final Hours of Tomb Raider diary. There are two more left in the series. The game is out March 5.

The lower gas price of a month ago is now just a memory as regular gas prices have increased by 20 cents over the past month in the Boston area.
The average regular gallon of gas is $3.80 today in the Boston area compared to $3.60 just a month ago. Mid-range gas is now $3.94 compared to $3.76 from a month ago and premium has increased to $4.07 from $3.88, according to AAA.
Closer to home, there are at least three stations charging less than the area average -- Best Petroleum on Main Street has regular gas at $3.68, Gibbs at 107 Winn St. is $3.70 and the Kwik Stop on Washington Street is $3.70.
Gas prices are up, but they are nothing compared to the summer of 2008 when AAA reports a gallon of regular gas shot up to $4.09.

We've done stories at MPR News about layoffs and furloughs in this recession. But what about workers who voluntarily cut hours (and pay) so their organization can try to meet budget goals and avoid mandatory cuts?
That's what they're trying in Hennepin County. Teresa Lynch, a source in our Public Insight Network who works for the county library system, told us:
Hennepin County has asked its employees to consider making a commitment for taking 32 hours Special Leave Without Pay between now and the end of 2009. Depending on the savings to the county, we may or may not be required to take mandatory leaves. I'm knocking off 2 hours early and coming in a couple hours late on several days this summer...a few hours here and there doesn't hurt when I get my paycheck.
It's hard not to appreciate the shared sacrifice of people in this economy. I'd love to hear from people who are voluntarily taking less, hoping to save their jobs or those of their colleagues. Please post below or click here and tell us what you're seeing.
The harder question: Does it work? In Hennepin County, at least, the voluntary sacrifice likely won't be enough to stop mandatory hour cuts.
The latest data show workers pledged 15,000 hours of voluntary "special leave without pay" -- a year-to-date savings of $731,000, a county spokeswoman said.
The county hoped to save $4.5 million.
Friday is the deadline for employees to submit voluntary leave forms. So unless there's a huge rush of volunteers, the county may enforce a mandatory hour reduction.
While that won't be as a shock, it will be a disappointment for folks like Lynch who saw the city library's merger with the county last year as something of a safe haven:
The part that's hard for Library employees (I am one) is that we went through all the layoffs back in 2004, and when we finally merge with Hennepin County libraries a year and a half ago, we felt somewhat safe, having been told that our Minneapolis Library budget crisis would be solved!
Check out the map below for insights from people about the current job market. Then tell us what you're seeing or if you know of a situation where people are volunteering to get paid less to keep jobs.

Former Milton High School Principal Ron Tesch has been named interim principal at Riverwood International Charter School.
Former principal Chris Triolo resigned earlier this month. He worked closely with Tesch before his departure.
Tesch, a Michigan native, has led administrations for many high schools, several of them Blue Ribbon schools, such as Ann Harbor Huron High School in Michigan, suburban Chicago Highland Park High School, and Edina High School in suburban Minneapolis.
Milton High School became an award-winning institution during his 12 years there. Many of Milton's faculty members and staff have received recognition, and Tesch took the school community through a successful new building project. He also strongly encouraged and implement curricula that helped teachers to work more as teams to plan and teach across disciplines, one of Riverwood's core IB initiatives.
Despite having retired, Tesch was willing to get back in the game to help Riverwood through the winter and spring until a new principal is hired.
"I knew Riverwood needed someone to come in to a unique situation and I think my skills and experience dovetail nicely with Riverwood's needs and goals," said Tesch.

The latest news and views about music in Milwaukee and beyond
See the best local music video of the year. Hands down.
The year's brought plenty of eyecatching, ambitious music videos to go along with some stellar local music. But one locally-made music video has emerged that's so wildly imaginative and expertly executed, it simply stands above the pack. It's the new video for psychedelic rockers The Fatty Acids' "Oven Mitts," off the band's dizzying "Leftover Monsterface," released last July.
When I first watched the vid, directed and edited by band member Kurt Raether, I had exactly two thoughts: "Whoa!" and "How did he do that?!" And the mad science theme fits the song perfectly. Kudos Kurt. Kudos.
The next thought you might have after watching is, "I need to hear this album." Well you can, below. Listen, and enjoy.

Are you going to get the Easton XL2 SL13X28 in different sizes?
The Easton XL2 (SL13X28) Senior League is a discontinued bat, so the size listed is the only size available. We will not be getting any more sizes because the bat has been discontinued.
Will the XL2 be in the 2015 series?
We have not received any information from Easton as to whether the XL2 will be featured in this year's lineup. It was not featured in 2014 so they may decide not to but I can't answer yes or no.
is easton making a new 2015 xl series
Yes, Easton is making the XL series in the new 2015 models. They are all scheduled to come out on September 1st.
Product Description
The next generation of Power Brigade has arrived. Now in its second season, this groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series (XL1, XL2, and XL3) and the Speed Series (S1, S2, and S3). The XL Series is designed for bigger, stronger hitters who derive their power from a bat with more mass. Smaller length to weight ratios, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot and a slight end load characterize the XL Series. The Speed Series, on the other hand, helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel. Further trying to equip players with their perfect bat, Easton offers all of its Power Brigade bats in a two-piece IMX Composite/SIC Black Carbon design (XL1, S1), a two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Scandium Alloy hybrid design (XL2, S2), and a one-piece THT Scandium Alloy design (XL3, S3). Two of the highest performing materials ever used on a bat, Easton's patented IMX Composite optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance, while their THT Scandium Alloy provides solid durability and allows for a larger alloy sweet spot than is seen anywhere else on the field. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology, and you've got a line of bats that can't be topped. Easton: Personalize Your Power! The XL2 features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
