Relocating, even within your own city, could cut your spending.
Maybe it's a job opening in Memphis. Maybe an old friend calls from his new home in San Diego. Or maybe it's your mother, reminding you how much better the weather is in Seattle this time of year. Whatever the trigger, it's got you thinking about all the things a new house, a new job or a new life could offer, somewhere else. Now you've got something else to consider: how it could change your budget.
Started a budget before, only to give up a few months later? Maybe you weren't doing it right.
For the next few months, I'll be doing news stories and blogging about destroying debt. This blog post and the video below are about one of the most important tools for doing it: a budget. Not just any budget, but one that you can not only live with, but look forward to using.
Impossible? Read on.

Just when we think our banks don't love us anymore, they start sending flowers -- at least to some of us.
While banks are adding fees with one hand, they are offering us money with another, in hopes of luring desirable checking account customers.
And the bonuses offered to sign up for new checking counts are substantial: $50 here, $100 there, even $300. Like any relationship, these come with strings attached, but if you qualify, you can pick up some free money.
It says consumers spend more each year on overdraft fees than they do on fresh vegetables.
This post comes from Mark Huffman at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
The Center for Responsible Lending has taken a calculator to tally up the costs to the U.S. economy of what it calls "bad lending" -- everything from subprime mortgages to abusive bank policies to payday loans.
The group has added a section to its Web site where consumers can see these costs broken down sector by sector and state by state.
For example, in California, CRL counts 731,779 total foreclosure starts from the first quarter of 2008 through the third quarter of 2009. Foreclosure starts increased 692% from 2006 to 2009.
Buying the house they really loved would have meant a much different life.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
A few months before we bought our current home, my wife and I toured literally dozens of different houses, trying to find one that was right for us. We had come up with a budget for our purchase and knew what our firm spending cap was.
On one bright spring day, my wife and I were visiting three homes for sale on the same block that were all having open houses. None of them really struck our fancy, but we did notice a fourth house on the corner that was for sale at a price about $60,000 over our price range.
We toured that house. We fell in love with that house.
What you need to know about the latest technology.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Music fans looking for free tunes are tuning in to an oldie but goodie -- radio. The medium is gaining a new audience thanks to technology upgrades that offer listeners more control over their music with minimal financial investment.
Although music downloads have grown into a $3 billion-per-year industry, consumers are actually keeping fewer MP3s on their computers these days. The average person has 641 songs; an 18% drop compared with last year, according to a December 2009 study by Mintel, a market research group. The same study found that Internet radio use doubled in the same period, with the average listener turning in for 4.3 hours per week via computer or cell phone.
There are a number of new iterations of this old media:
Now more than ever, men -- not women -- are the ones improving their economic status through marriage.
Good news, gentlemen: Marrying can mean working less and having more money.
A new study released by the Pew Research Center found more American men today, compared with 40 years ago, are married to women who have a higher education and level of income than they do.
The report highlights the quickly changing roles of men and women in the home. Now more than ever, men are the ones gaining economically from marriage when they say "I do" to a woman with an MBA and six-digit income.
It's a practice no retailer is going to willingly admit to.
Plenty of people were outraged by the New York Times report that unsold clothes from Wal-Mart and H&M were found deliberately mutilated, bagged and tossed in the trash.
Both retailers insisted that the incidents were not commonplace and that they normally donate unworn and undamaged clothing to charities. Wal-Mart said it would investigate.
The dust has had time to settle, but has the truth emerged? What have we really learned about what retailers do with unsold clothing?
It depends on whom you ask.

ell, it's been about twenty months, and it's time to wrap up our monstrous wanderings. We've discussed a lot of monsters (and a few other topics), I've gathered a ton of feedback, and we're busy putting all that feedback to good use. So I figured this would be a good time to look back at some of the ways you—yes, you—have made a difference in the design of the next iteration of D&D.
Throughout the run of this column, I maintained a spreadsheet where I tracked the poll results each week. The first page of the spreadsheet gives a record of every case where I asked for a 1–5 rating about a monster or concept, and it generates this wonderful graph.
The highest rating is at the bottom of the graph, so the 5 rankings are blue, the 4 rankings are red, the 3 rankings are green, and so on. This graph helped me look for the places where the top colors dipped down lower than I would like. Any time the green dipped below the 70 percent line, that was a clear signal that something needed more thought and discussion. (By the way, consistently having at least 70 percent of you giving 4 or 5 on the surveys told us that we were on the right track overall.)
The lowest the green ever dipped was just below the 50 percent mark for the good-aligned beast-monsters (baku, couatl, hollyphant, ki-rin, lammasu, moon dog, opinicus, phoenix, and shedu). In that case, the largest response was a 3, "So-so: it makes sense, but it doesn't grab me." I suspect that has a lot to do with a general lack of enthusiasm for these monsters and their place in the game (more than half of you also said you've never used any of them in your game). But it meant that when we did a more extensive description for the couatl, we put more thought into giving it some hooks that made it a lot more exciting (I think) than what we've had before.
In addition to the 1–5 rankings, I asked a lot of multiple-choice questions to help us decide on story directions. I tracked these on the second page of the spreadsheet, listing the questions and options, and highlighting the answers that got the most responses. Most often, those answers gave us confirmation that we were heading in the right direction. Often, after presenting a sort of compromise story in the article (one that allowed the stories from previous editions to coexist), I'd ask if that was the right approach—and most of you almost always said yes. Sometimes resoundingly!
Sometimes, though, a mandate was less clear.
And once in a while, you pointed out that we were going in the wrong direction.
(The lighter red highlight there indicates that 35 percent of responses liked one of the four variations of the 4th Edition origin story.) Only 9 percent of you liked the story we'd come up with about unsanctioned dragon eggs, so we threw that story out.
Polls aren't everything. We learned a lot from your comments as well. A good example from early on was the discussion of the various savage humanoid races, which I revisited after processing your feedback. In your comments, you told us that gnolls aren't cowardly, that goblins are too weak, that bugbears should be stealthier, and that some of you like more advanced lizardfolk and some of you don't. And just last week, one comment on my article on campaign themes made me rethink the way I'm presenting them right now.
So all of this is to say thank you! Each week, through seventy-four columns, an average of over 1,200 of you took the time not just to read these columns but also to give feedback through our surveys and comments. That's a phenomenal amount of input, and it's made a big difference.

With FCC approval, Johnny Pirkle's sale of the 100,000-watt FM station WNOX to Journal Broadcasting is complete, one of the biggest shake-ups in Knoxville radio-land in years.
But Pirkle is not getting out of the radio business. He has entered into a local market agreement to take over (lease) WKVL, AM 850, a 50,000-watt station, and has moved his talk-show format to the new venue. WKVL started broadcasting the talk radio format this week.
The line-up is pretty much the same except morning drive time hosts Ed Brantley and Bob Thomas declined to make the move. They have been replaced by Mike Howard and David Thompson.
Journal Broadcasting has been playing a variety of music on WNOX (FM 100.3) this week, teasing the launch of a new format today (Thursday). The odds are heavy, say local broadcasters, that WNOX will become a country music station to compete with WIVK (107.7), the FM station that has dominated the Knoxville market for decades.
The irony is that Cumulus Broadcasting, which owns WIVK, used to have control of WNOX by leasing it from Pirkle. But the company did not renew the lease when it ran out and moved its talk radio line up to a lower-wattage station. This has allowed Journal to buy the 100,000-watt station to compete with WIVK.

Peak FM - Today's Best Mix For North Derbyshire
1:00AM - 6:00AMSend a message Listen Live
Charlene Soraia is a London-based singer-songwriter. She first rose to prominence with a cover of The Calling's "Wherever You Will Go", which peaked at number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. She released her debut studio album, Moonchild, in November 2011, which features "Wherever You Will Go" as a bonus track.
Born and raised in Sydenham, Lewisham in London, Charlene Soraia grew up with her parents. She first picked up her father's guitar at the age of 5, and played her first show at 8. She was inspired by artists such as David Bowie, The Beatles, Pink Floyd and King Crimson, and was very interested in the prog-rock genre.
While still at school, Soraia used to appear at open mic night at The Studio, Beckenham, Bromley in London around 2004, where her style and songwriting were still developing. She used the time before her performances to do her homework.
She was accepted into the BRIT School despite not having a GCSE in music, alongside future chart artists Adele and Kate Nash. While being there, she formed a rock band called Retrospect, with whom she released an EP entitled Long Hair, Short Memories. She also joined a psychedelic blues band, Electriq Mistress. At the same time she released a solo EP, "Lemonade", which was mainly created to get her bookings. She began performing as a solo artist in 2008, releasing further EPs Daffodils and Other Idylls (March 2008); Postcards from iO later in the year and third in the series, One of the Sun. The former reached the top of the UK Folk Chart on iTunes. An iTunes Live Sessions EP was also released after she performed at the festival in early 2008.
Soraia became noticed by a mainstream audience in 2011 when her cover of "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling was featured in a Twinings commercial. The song was subsequently released as a digital download on iTunes and reached number 2 on the UK Download Chart and number 3 in the UK Singles Chart. The original version of the song also re-entered the top 40 as a result. Her debut album Moonchild, featuring the song as a bonus track, was released on 21 November 2011. On 10 January 2013, Soraia released the video for her new song "Ghost" to promote the release a new album, Love is the Law.
Soraia has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, specifically stating that she suffers from cyclothymia. which she describes as a less severe form of bipolar disorder. [..] I wrote [a song on the LP called] 'Bipolar' and it came out really upbeat and funny despite the fact I was actually in pieces. [...]

Ask Janet Barnes about her daughter Juli's life after sustaining a Traumatic Brain Injury and she'll tell you: "This is a hopeful thing. This is a story of recovery. It is not about blame, it is not about cause."
All day every day, Juli is in a fight for the life she once had. Prior to her Oct. 2, 2009 car accident, Juli was "the light in any room," Barnes said, and though she knows it will take time, she'll try anything to lift the curtain draped over Juli's light.
"I try to remind her of who she was before, who we were together before," Barnes said. "...This isn't going to be forever."
In the early morning hour the day of her accident, Ramos was driving home from her job at in Tinley Park during a downpour, when her car skidded across a puddle, sliding passenger-side first into a utility pole. The car folded and wrapped around the pole, the right side of the car hitting the right side of Juli's body. Her head, face and brain sustained the brunt of the force. She sustained no other broken bones or major injuries, Barnes said.
Juli was comatose for six weeks after the accident. Doctors told Barnes they were unsure how much brain function and body movement she would regain when she awoke. Barnes can recall some medical professionals using the term, "vegetable" to advise Barnes on what could lie ahead. But for her and Juli's fiance , part of the battle was already won.
Juli was alive.
Medina's mother, an emergency room nurse, arrived at their side that night. Medina and Barnes looked to her for indication of the severity of the situation.
"She made him believe that there was hope, and we took that as law," Barnes said March 29, as Juli received a hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
Effective treatments could help Juli make big strides, but mostly it's many baby steps for the 25-year-old. Barnes looks to multiple forms of therapy for help, including physical, speech and Botox treatments for Juli's contracted muscles. Along the way, Barnes looks for sources of inspiration for Juli, who often struggles emotionally with the challenge of recovery. Her injury forces Juli to re-learn basic tasks, including walking, talking and feeding herself. For a while, Medina's appearance on gave her something to smile about.
"As bad as this is, she lived," Barnes said. "It took a long time for me not to be broken.
"This happened for a reason. I haven't figured out why yet. I feel a responsibility to do something good with it. I learned how strong my family is."
Patch spent a day with Barnes and Juli, watching as Juli fought through pain and frustration during her therapy regimen. We will bring you more of her struggle—and small victories—next week. Please stay tuned to Patch as we bring to light more of Juli's fight for recovery.

ZEBULON — Town leaders may soon dictate the future of a downtown property that has been the center of a nuisance and safety quandary since 2010, if its owner doesn't respond to one final outreach by town staff.
Zebulon planners on Dec. 20 sent Wilhelm Marsh a certified letter notifying he has 30 days to act on his run-down, vacant property at 116 N. Arendell Ave. Marsh has historically had spotty contact with the town concerning the property, and has not responded to numerous letters and phone calls by the planning department since February 2012.
"(Zebulon Planner) Bo (Dobrzenski) and I probably both called every day for two or three weeks," Zebulon Planning Director Mark Hetrick said the week the final notice was being prepared. "We've sent notices out in the past and haven't really solved the issue, so we're at the point now where the town is going to have to step in and more than likely take action on the property because the property owner has failed to do so."
Ongoing issues with the 960-square-foot property include boarded-up doors windows, loose brickwork, debris and trash accumulation inside, freestanding walls with no roof, and as a result, stagnant water and the potential for health issues.
To be considered
At their meeting this Monday, commissioners will be asked to weigh in on what involvement they think the town should have assuming Marsh remains silent.
"I think we are somewhat looking for a hard decision in that we need to know how the town wants to move forward," Hetrick said. "We're still hopeful the property owner will take action, but if he doesn't we want to have the input from the board and not wait until February."
Hetrick plans to present quotes from contractors for three different abatement options the town board has previously discussed for the property. Those include demolition, making the property safer by bracing the exterior wall, and repair – which may call for a new roof, doors and windows.
An estimate for the engineering and design phases to stabilize the existing structure, not including actual construction, came in at $4,255, according to Hetrick. But he said removal of all doors and windows, leaving the structure open, would not be recommended since it may lead to other nuisances, like vandalism or unwanted people in the building.
"That's what we're going to talk about with the board, is some of the pros and cons with each of those options," Hetrick said.
Early opinions
Town leaders have made it clear demolition of the property, one of the oldest in Zebulon, would be a last resort.
But Commissioners Dale Beck and Beverly Clark say it should not be the town's responsibility to make the needed fixes.
"The person who owns it needs to go ahead and fix it," Beck said, noting he has yet to take a stance on what the town's role should be if Marsh takes no action.
Clark said since the property doesn't belong to the town, she cannot justify spending taxpayers' money to bring it into compliance.
"We already have some extra town property on our hands," Clark said. "We don't need any more. I'd hate to see it demolished, but again, how do you manage something like that? What's cost-effective?"
Clark said maybe an outside group – like the Zebulon Beautification Committee or the sprouting downtown merchants association – could raise funds needed to bring the property up to code, in the event the town takes the reins away from Marsh.
The beautification committee has offered to help in the past and has adamantly pushed for action to fix the old structure. And recently, a group of volunteers made up of a general contractor and local business owners indicated it would be willing to help improve the condition of this property.
Town staff mentioned that recent offer in a penultimate letter sent to Marsh on Oct. 24.

Monday 10:00 PM on ABCBetween Seasons
Please don't take this the wrong way because I am not saying this episode or the show is bad,but it is being built up as an important episode but I have a feeling it is just going to be a filler episode. I mean we all know Bracken isn't going down so it's going to be an episode where Beckett is very upset and spends the run time building a case only to have it fall apart in the last five minutes and Bracken smiles at her and walks away and nothing that happened in it will ever be mentioned again. That is just the way TV works. Since Bracken can't go down until the series final I wish they would just leave the case alone until the series final when something can happen besides the reset button being pushed. That is just how I feel if i can see the ending coming the episode feels kind of pointless to me. I am willing to admit I may be alone in this.
I really want to like this show, but I can't shut off my brain and watch TV! I'm not buying Becket going above and beyond, even putting her life in danger by trying to save the man who killed her mother!I'm sorry, but it was just too cheesy to have her doing a last minute save, and why did the killer activate the bomb so soon? I believe by having her be so instrumental in saving the alleged object of her hatred and obsession basically kill any credibility they had to continuing the quest to bring him to justice! I have no more interest in caring about seeing him go down and episodes like this where they writers seem to spin their wheels while adding nothing to the story itself make me pass on continuing to watch the show unfold.
I find the message this show is sending by turning Bracken into a hero and saying that he had every right to murder those people and he should be president morally offensive so I am done with this show and will not touch any other ABC products until it is canceled the writers and producers are fired.
Tonight's episode offended me in ever way a Tv show could.
it didn't offend me at all. SERIOSULY there are tv shows and movies who are way more offensive than than. i'm sorry but i get tired of people getting offended by one episode and saying how dare they. i think the reason that she saved him was really only cause so she could put him in jail at some point. but i would have let him die to be honest. like Castle Said
who said she wasn't being a smartass when she said that? cause let's face it politcians are dirty and though there are some that are cleaner than others to be honest. i dunno how many are like Bracken is, but i'm sure not all of them resort to murder. my point is she may have been kidding.
i thought it was a good episode but not a great one. and it did have it's flaws of course. it didn't take me away of the show. here's a Spoiler and yes it's not the spoiler section but my point is posting is to show what Matthew will miss.and don't worry it's just one tid bit.
his father is going to be coming on the show this month so you'll miss that. ok i'm done anyways, people get offended far too damn easily these days. but if you want to stop watching one of the best shows on tv i can't stop you.
Well after doing some thinking I have decided that the only way I can continue watching this show is if I skip all future Bracken episodes. See murders get away scott free just makes me feel ill and upsets me too much,that is why I avoid the news. Since bracken cane never be brought to justice because the show will be over without him I am just going to pretend he is not part of the show and if i see him in the previews I just will not watch that week. That way I avoid getting upset and I avoid upsetting other people.
Sorry I have had this problem where seeing evil people get away on the news or Tv has always upset me ever since I was kid. I think it's best if I avoid this plot line from now on.
i'm sorry but you are an idiot. ok real life yeah that upsets me when the actual murderer or whatever crime it happens to be gets away that does bother me and anyone who that doesn't bother is an idiot. but when it comes to tv shows yea it can be bothersome but it comes to tv shows and movies they do storylines that do things like Bracken where they are guilty and get away with it all the time. but 9 times out of ten they end up having some justice done to them may it be getting killed or getting thrown in jail. hell on the show LOST we had Ben who was an evil mofo and they did explain why yet he was a great character and he did later redeem himself at some point.
on castle there is no doubt that bracken at some point will get what's coming to him. even if it's in the series finale. and to ignore that really ignores what the story of kate's mom's murder is about. we found out who killed her this season ok i am no doubt thrilled about that. but there is no doubt that we aren't going to see him thrown in jail by the end of the season.
i do agree that it' s stupid she let him live. but now he owes her for one thing, and she also mostly wants i think him in jail more so than dead. i'd want him dead if i was her. but since she's a cop and all. i think when it comes to tv shows you need to take a chill pill as an old saying goes and think that at some point he will see justice no doubt. kinda like on how we will at some point find out who Red John is on 'The Mentalist'
even if it's the last episode we will find out who it is. and weather Patrick Jane kills him or not as well. the same thing on Castle. yes we know who the killer is but the thing is it's part of the main story of the show. the rest of course is the relationships. but her mom's murder is a main part of the show. and ignoring episodes that deal with that is just plain stupid. just cause you don't like the outcome.
i did enjoy this episode a LOT but it wasn't one of the best ones this season. and i do admit having him not be the one as the killer was kinda nice cause the writers kinda threw you a curveball where you expected it to be him. and it's not well not this time. so it was nice ya know?
I am sorry that I am such an idiot but i can't help the fact that when I get caught up in a story sometimes it can upset me that is just the way I am wired and since I have to live with it then it is either give up Castle or just avoid the Bracken episodes because they will upset me too much.
I am sorry I am an idiot but that is just the best solution I can come up with. Sorry for being so stupid.
Also my other problem is that he kills everyone who gets in his way so by saving his life Beckett is helping him do to someone else some day what was done to her,and then for her to be upset by the idea of his dying makes no sense. It looks like to me Bracken had gotten himself caught in his own twisted web and Beckett should have let him reap what he sowed instead of helping him go on killing. I just don't see how anyone could live with themselves if they know the pain of having a loved one murdered and then they saved the life of someone who is going to murder other people's loved ones. Also he is still out to kill her so she basically chose to commit suicide when she saved him. Nothing about this strikes me as right or smart at all.
well 1stly it's just a tv show NOT real life. also though she may be killing other people not knowing that. i look at it this way kate is a cop and had she let him die yes the world would have been a better place there is no doubt about that. but unlike him she has a consience and when we saw her considering on getting rid of evidence we also find out she didn't get rid of it. meaning that while it would have prolly helped her feel better if he was dead. since he is such in the public eye had he died and this is before she saved him let me add.
she realiazed that would be to much of a burden to bear to let her personal feelings get in the way no matter how she felt about it or not.
she's a cop and knows that it would at some point get out. even if it was just by accident things like that get out at some point. they always do.
and she didn't want to be dirty like him. so that's prolly why she also saved him. plus having him get killed is as easy way out to get rid of him. she wants i think the pleasure of putting the handcuffs on herself. and throwing his ass jail for good. and that's why she went to her shrienk is that she was freaking out about it. and she knows castle would have told her not to get rid of the evidence cause it would ruin her career.
if it got out. a friend of my family's anyways in (1989) their 10 year old daughter was kidnapped and killed an her body was found in Jan. of (1990)
i wasn't that close to her so it didn't effect me quite as much as it did other members of my family like my parents for example. my older brother i don't think it affected him as much as it did other people as well but since he's got kids now he even to me that he doesn't know what he'd do if that heppend to his kids. which is an honest answer. anyways her killer was never found. i don't think it has anything to do with anyone in policts as far as i know. in short nothing as someone like Braken. as far as i know.
would i love to see this guy dead? yes i would but what i'd love more rather than see him dead is to spend the rest of his life in jail cause killing him is just to easy. it means he doesn't have to sit and think about what he had done. and if you kill someone like with Bracken it's not having him do that. so i'd rather have him spend the rest of his life behind bars that way he can get Bubba after him in case he drops the soap.
that won't happen if he gets killed by say the son or daughter for example. and this is also what kate thought about as well. so that's why he was saved. also when it comes to tv letting killers off they do that every now and than cause it's not realistic if they get caught all the time cause in real life that doesn't happen. in CSI season 1 they had an episode where this dude on an airplane was killed cause it turned out he had something wrong with him and the entire plane ended up kicking him to death cause he was making so much noise.
they only had so many hrs. to prove it but at the end they all got away with it. cause they had run out of time to get the answers more and the evidence as well.
than there was in season 3-5 one of those seasons when "Catherine's Ex Husband is killed it's been awhile since i last saw it so i may have this wrong but i believe they find out who did it but the evidence i think was destoryed cause of water or something. and the killer who they i think found out who it was but they had no evidence in getting the killer. that stuff no doubt happens in real life. just like when Amy that's her name was killed over 20 years ago. they have been getting evidence through the years and with all the toys they use now they didn't have any of that during the 90's. so they now can maybe get closer to finding the truth on who did it.
my point is like in tv shows the stuff we want to happen doesn't always happen.
and you shouldn't get upset when something in a tv show happens that you don't like. when you don't know that it won't ever be solved it may be. he may get thrown in jail at some point. it's a bit like 'the x-files' where Muldars sister being missing lasted until season 6 or season 7 where he finally does find out she was dead. and he finally could move on from that. before that we would get teased on weather she was alive or dead. and it would piss me off sure. but i'm not going to stop watching those episodes cause you never know if the next time if Kate doesn't get evidence where she can thrown him in jail.
cause you never know. ya know? my point is it's only a tv show so don't even bother getting that upset about it. it's just not worth it.
Yeah I guess. It's just I tried watching the episode again and the only thing I could think every time Bracken was on screen was "How many people is he having killed while they are just standing here talking to him trying to save his life?",I mean that's his MO. Last year he had a woman killed not because she got in his way but just because he wanted to make sure he wouldn't have to run against the mayor when he runs for president. It's just makes me sick and the show asks us to invest in this case but we know he is never going to jail because as he pointed out there is no way for a cop to send a senator to jail. I am not sure I buy that Bracken will ever regret his actions,you heard him he thinks of himself as a hero and I think he will always think of himself that way no matter how much time he spend in jail. My ideal ending for this plot line would be Bracken stabbed to death and left to die in a pile of garbage. That way while he may not feel sorry for what he did he will have the time it takes him to bleed out to think about the fact that despite all the power he had and all the people he killed he ended up dying exactly the same way as one of the people he killed. That would be justice if you ask me.
like i said it's only a tv show and in tv shows they do at some get what's coming to them. even if it takes a long time to get that. again on the show 'CSI" the home show we all know that catherine's father was an evil guy who tried to play the good guy. but he was a bad dude who got away with murder for years. than the writers had him get killed off at some point. in short he got was coming to him.
and the last season of CSI:Miami they had a serial killer who got away with all the murders cause of who he was and who he knew. and in the season finale well i turned out to be the series finale he was either arrested or killed i forget which. but in short he got what was coming to him.
and even the dude who killed H's wife got what was coming to him quite a few times actually. anyways, my point is when you see tv shows do storylines where they have characters that seem to get away with this or that for a long period of time they do at some point get what's coming to them, sometimes they last longer on the show because fans love to hate the character kinda like "J.R. on "Dallas' but even they had him get his due a few times. but anyways, on the way they are getting rid of him since "Larry Hagman's passing is i believe they are having some kind of enemy having finally killed him. and honestly that i kinda like cause i think even Hagman would like that.
and it shows that it stays true to the character and gives the people who are good he screwed over the justice they deserve. my point is fan love that chracter and when JR would do something evil they'd get mad at him depending on what it is. and they'd want to know what he's doing to do next? i think it may be something like this when it comes to Bracken fans may love to hate the chracter. honestly i am a huge fan of "Jack Coleman' that guy is awesome.
and he was cast perfectly for the role. in short i do think he will get what's coming to him at some point. anyways your arguemnt has me thinking that you don't watch stuff that has serial killers in them cause if you watch some things like the current one on the show 'Bones'
he's a smart serial killer and i know he'll get his due at some point. but it's still fun to watch ya know?

Very good veggie dish. Like the other reviewer, I also reduced the cooking time for the asparagus to 5-7 minutes. Reduced calories/fats/etc. by using less olive oil to cook the asparagus; egg substitute and low-fat mozzarella cheese. Kept the real/fresh Parmesan cheese so the dish still had lots of flavor. Because I don't have an oven-safe skillet, I poured the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish to pop under the broiler and to serve from directly. Will KEEP this recipe in my collection.
Yummy, even for a light dinner. I shortened my cooking time on the asparagus, otherwise mine would have been overdone.
This recipe had a WONDERFUL taste. All of our family gobbled it up - even the 2 and 1 year old! I did make quite a few "tweaking"-like changes though. To the ingredients I added 1 tsp. hot sauce, 1/2 tsp. salt and 3 Tbsp crumbled bacon (I think these were suggested in an earlier review). In the instructions under #2 I changed the cooking time for the asparagus to 6 minutes - 10 would have been WAY too long and the mushrooms only needed to be cooked 3 minutes. Under #3 I only had to cook the egg mixture for 2-3 minutes. Under #4 I baked the 10 minutes but it was very brown and close to burnt - I would adapt this to 7-10 minutes and watch it closely. The cheese needs to be broiled about 1-2 minutes. This is going in the KEEPER file!! Thank you!

'Hera' at the Library
Boone resident and CEO of Canterbury House Publishing Wendy
Dingwall will sign her debut novel, the first in a series, "Hera's Revenge: An Yvonne Suarez Travel
Mystery," on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 10:30 a.m. at the Western Watauga Library.
Refreshments will be served.
Dingwall's book has garnered great reviews from the book industry and readers alike.
Library Journal touted it as a "nice distraction for armchair travelers" and "a series to watch."
Midwest Book Reviews said, "The premise for this mystery is a refreshing addition to the mystery genre. The author excels at interweaving interesting historical and mythological data into the plot.
This, along with her visual descriptive, leaves the reader feeling as if s/he is actually touring the Greek Isles along with the group. … Yvonne Suarez is an intriguing character. … The mystery is one, readers will be challenged to solve, filled with twists and turns and plenty of red herrings."
In "Hera's Revenge," when an airport employee turns up dead in baggage claim upon their arrival in Athens, the Pinkerton Travel group gets off to a rocky start. Yvonne's corporate client, David Ludlow, needs a vacation from his stressful job, and this itinerary in the land of mythology, Greek philosophers and early democrats is just the ticket to a leisurely escape, until grumpy passengers, missing museum art and deathly accidents plague their journey. A reluctant sleuth, Yvonne, pulls out all the stops to keep her clients safe and her tour on track.
Dingwall operated her own travel company in South Florida for more than 12 years. In 2001, she moved to the Boone area and, after phasing out her travel business, began working for a local book publisher, marketing authors and their books. In July 2009, she opened her own publishing company and by fall 2011 the company will have published 14 books by various notable Southern authors.
Shortly after arriving in the mountains and inspired by the local writing community, Dingwall started writing her first mystery, fulfilling a lifelong dream. She is an active member of High Country Writers and co-founder of a small writing critique group. She continues to work on the second and third novels in her mystery series featuring amateur sleuth, Yvonne Suarez.
Currently, she resides on a 50-acre farm in Sugar Grove with her husband, retired attorney Walter Dingwall, their two Maltese dogs and a cat, while enjoying the variety of seasons offered by the Blue Ridge Mountains. For more information about the author, visit her website http://www.wendydingwall.com.
"Hera's Revenge" is available locally at Black Bear Books, nationally in bookstores and online retailers.

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — T
he newest barbecue joint in the area, Smoke on the Water, is off to a busy start after its opening July 4. The waterfront restaurant, owned by the Richert brothers, J.J., Kevin and Mark, is quickly becoming a staple for many locals.
"It's been crazy, almost overwhelming," Kevin said. "The community has been extremely supporting."
The restaurant, located on the Erie Canal on Young Street, has been absolutely packed — averaging 80 to 100 people for lunch, and 200 to 300 for dinner, making it hard for the brothers and the rest of the staff to get a full night's sleep.
"We only have the capacity for about 50 at best with the bar and outside eating area," Kevin said. "So we're turning this place over three or four times a night."
Smoke on the Water's take out business is also taking off, an aspect that Kevin said is a large part of their business. He's also working on developing a catering service for office lunches and parties.
And customers keep coming back, too. Kevin said the restaurant already has regular customers — like the couple that arrived by boat on opening day.
"It was like love at first sight. They said that this is what they had been waiting for here," Richert said. "The first day, they had some appetizers, the next day, salad, then dinner, then dessert. They just kept coming back. They went through the whole menu, so they said, 'well, let's go through it again.' "
The restaurant's menu is fun and a bit out there, according to Kevin. One can buy a round of drinks for the kitchen for $6, or try out the Uncle Joe — which features waffles, apples and bourbon.
"But once you get comfortable with it, it can really fall into place. The smoked turkey and the ribs are flying off the shelves," Kevin said.
Both brothers have always had a love for cooking. J.J.'s passion led him to study at the Culinary Institute of America, while Kevin fell in love with cooking while washing dishes at a country club, and worked his way up to cooking.
"I really had no desire to do anything else. I won't say it comes natural to me, but it just feels right," Kevin said. "And my older brother, J.J., was cooking while I was doing prep and salads, and I wanted to do what he was doing — so it was really good encouragement."
Their draw to cooking led Kevin and his brother, J.J., to open a fine-dining restaurant, Torches, on Kenmore Avenue five years ago. Torches is very successful, but the brothers have always had a passion for barbecue and held onto the dream of opening up another restaurant.
So when the brothers saw that the former Suzz Cafe on the Erie Canal was for sale, the pair, along with brother Mark, jumped at the chance — buying and tearing apart the building. They added a two-tier patio with a boat dock, brought their homemade smoker to the site, and customized the bar area. Mark's help with the renovations and Kevin's knack at barbecue has made the place a popular spot.
Despite the busy atmosphere at Smoke on the Water already, Kevin does have some ideas for the future of the restaurant.
"We have big plans," Richert said. "We might inclose the patio to increase our year long longevity. But for now, we are just trying to get through the season. It's nice to be the new kid on the block."Contact reporter Jessica Bagley at 693-1000, ext. 4150.

This is the best Spanish rice recipe on this site! I don't understand why people don't follow the direction to saute the rice! This is not supposed to be a "sticky rice" like Puerto Rican or Chinese rice, but that's what you'll get if you don't saute it first. I don't agree that you should brown it.... it should turn translucent, but not brown. If you are adding fresh garlic, add it after sauteing the rice and only cook it long enough for it to release it's aroma..don't brown it-it will turn bitter. After you add the liquid, bring the rice to a full, rolling boil before turning it down to low and putting the lid on. Also, make sure you have a tight fitting lid...cover it with foil to make it tighter if necessary. Don't peek while the rice it cooking! After 20 minutes move it off the heat and let it "rest" another 5 minutes. If you do these things you will have purfect rice! Even though I ususally use homemade salsa, I think the Pace "Make Mine Medium" gives the right amount of heat and flavor to the dish. Thanks for a great recipe that everyone can master and enjoy!
I made this spanish rice for Xmas Eve Dinner, it was excellent. However I did have to add some water & let it simmer a little longer to get the rice done. I added just 1/4 tsp. chili powder to it. My cousin who is a chef said, "it's perfect". That ought to tell you something. Thanks for the recipe.
Chef Joy
HELPFUL TIPS NOT MENTIONED: I've tried all the other recipes on this site & decided this is the best! I like using salsa more than diced tomatoes b/c it has more flavor and spice ...and it doesn't taste like you just dumped salsa in it like I expected. This is only for my family of 4, so I use 3/4C of uncooked rice, definitely a little more than half a tablespoon of olive oil (full recipe calls for too much), with 3/4 of the can of chicken broth (approx 1 1/2C), BUT still use 1C of salsa as I feel it's necessary, as well as a few dashes of pepper. I only brown rice a few minutes longer after it's turned WHITE (very apparent white color). Being Asian myself, I could cook rice w/my eyes closed it seems. lol Many times we don't add onions b/c I'm too lazy to dice them. If we do, it definitely needs more than suggested or it's pointless adding. It's even better when you add diced green & red peppers to the rice you are browning or use green onion instead of white/red. We eat the rice every time we make "Whit's Chicken Enchiladas" which is SUPER EASY and YUMMY! This takes less time than indicated for the rice to be done. Also great to put in baking dish, add cheese, and bake at 350 until it melts! :)

McALESTER — Editor:
I live outside of Eufaula and most, if not all, my shopping is in the McAlester area. I resent the push of the religious sector to be placing their symbols atop the street corner street sign posts! No doubt these people mean well but they are not the only residents in Oklahoma.
Lets keep church and state seperate!
If the religious sector wins this one, I'll be taking my business to Muskogee and other towns within reason!

Can you remember times when your mum harped on about being home for dinner on time?
She had good reason to–children's eating patterns are formed by the time they reach 12 years old. And, family dinners are the perfect way to set healthy habits for years to come.
Unfortunately, as we grow older, our habits become more and more difficult to change. So, now is the perfect time to set healthy habits for your children.
A Harvard study found that families who eat together are twice as likely to get five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, compared with families who don't.
Those who ate together also consumed fewer fried food and soda, and less saturated and trans fats. They also got more fiber, calcium, folate, iron and several other nutrients.
Pretty interesting stuff!
Do you try to make family dinners a daily event in your home?
If your excuse is, "I've no time," sorry–that simply won't cut it!
The study pointed out the older children were, the less often they ate dinner with their parents. So, putting things off, may eventually mean you won't be able to do anything to help your kids, even if you did want to.
Right now is the perfect time to act.
If you simply don't know where to begin, here are a few tips:
Your main aim here is to make eating together fun and interesting…
#1 Involve your children
Pretty basic stuff, but get your children involved in the process wherever you can.
Granted, it'll probably take you much longer than before. But, I think it's a worthy investment, don't you?
Your children can be involved in making decisions about what to eat, helping you shop, cook, and set the table.
Supermarkets, farmers markets and butchers shops are fantastic places for kids to see and learn about the different foods they eat.
If your children are young, they could perhaps help at home by stirring, or tearing up lettuce leaves. Older children may be able to chop, with your help, or arrange the table, etc.
#2 Play games
Are your kids stuck in a rut, eating the same foods all the time?
Try coaxing them to move beyond their old favorites with fun games, such as highlighting the favorite foods of each family member.
Or, how about combining eating with a geography lesson?
Why not put a map up in your kitchen and then mark off the countries from which you've tasted their culinary delights?
Here's a few examples:
- Pita bread from the Middle East, chapatis from India and East Africa, rye bread from Sweden, baguettes from France.
- Then there's pizza and pasta from Italy, haggis from Scotland, curries from India and Thailand, kangaroo from Australia.
- Or, how about trying new and exciting fruits: cape gooseberries, dragon fruit or custard apples anyone?
- Perhaps you'd prefer collard greens or rutabaga??? ;-)
- If you're really up for a challenge, go for the slightly query-some option of seaweed. (Interesting, but useless fact: dulse is actually extremely popular here in Northern Ireland!)
Anyway, I could go on, but I think you get my idea.
For a fascinating insight into what the world eats in pictures from, Time.com have put together a three part series, What the world eats, part 1, What the world eats, part 2, and What the world eats, part 3.
#3 Food group countdown
Get your whole family competing to see how many different foods they can eat from each food group during the day/week.
Your children may like to make a poster of the pyramid as a fun way to teach them about healthy eating, and also to keep a tally of everyones scores during the week.
The goal is to get everyone in your family to add more variety and balance to their diet. Perhaps you can celebrate with family workout, or a trip to the park.
#4 Tasting session
Have a family tasting party to introduce new foods to everyone.
Try out some different foods, such as papayas, cherries, mango and raspberries. You can encourage everyone to take part by asking questions about the new flavours, colours, textures, and smells.
#5 Family catchup
Dinnertime shouldn't be about gobbling up what's on your plate, while slouching in front of the TV! Make it a chance to catch up with your partner and your kids, and show you care about what's going on in their life.
What happened in their day? What did they learn? Is anything bothering them?
What are your tips for keeping family dinners a family time? Do you find getting everyone together a challenge?

At a time when many residents are grappling with foreclosures and rising rental costs have far outpaced growth in their incomes, the three top Los Angeles mayoral candidates promised Friday to make housing policy a central focus for their administrations.
City Councilman Eric Garcetti renewed his ambitious pledge to end homelessness in Los Angeles, rather than "manage it." Councilwoman Jan Perry said she would try to replicate citywide her achievements getting affordable housing units built in the disparate communities of downtown and South L.A.

Keri Johnson will probably be huffing and puffing Saturday morning.
That's when the Castro Valley woman will join 1,400 other Bay Area residents in The Fight For Air Climb.
Together they will walk up the stairs to the top of the 52-story Bank of America building in San Francisco.
The event is designed to raise money and consciousness about clean air and other healthy habits, notably quitting or avoiding smoking.
"Everyone knows someone who has been affected by asthma, emphysema, lung cancer or tobacco addiction," said Jane Warner, CEO of the American Lung Association in California.
That is especially true for Johnson. She was recruited to the climb by her high school friend, Cheri Eplin, now a fifth grade teacher in Dublin.
In 2010, Elplin's mother, Ella Sue, died of lung cancer. That same year, to honor her mom, Cheri Eplin took part in the Fight for Air Climb.
In 2011, Eplin recruited Johnson as a cheerleader and supporter.
Last year Johnson made her first climb, ascending 1,197 steps in just over 19 minutes.
It was a sobering finish.
"I finished at the bottom third of my age bracket," she told Patch.
Nevertheless her participation helped called attention to some facts.
The Association bills lung disease as the third leading cause of death in the United States. It is the leading cause of cancer death in both men and women, taking more lives than breast, colorectal, prostate and pancreatic cancers combined.
The group says lung disease is particularly prevalent in California. Ninety percent of Californians live in areas with unhealthy air, contributing to breathing problems for the nearly five million people afflicted with asthma, including nearly one million children.
Although the Bay Area is relatively protected against air pollution by offshore winds, there are stretches, such as the Interstate 880 corridor, where geography, traffic and industry create less healthy conditions.
Meanwhile, Johnson is focused on Saturday, when she hopes to shave a bit off her time.
"I just zone out," she said of her climbing style. "It helps to have music. I just look at my feet and keep going."

What do you think about local air quality? What steps have you taken in your own life?

Gautama Buddha, Ayn Rand, and Martin Luther
Famous characters. Different philosophies. You might ask what they have in common - if anything at all. Nirvana, Wealth and Heaven. All end states of different logical frameworks.
Instead of subscribing to a common idea, they all created a new path, choosing solitude in thought. Buddha spent his nights trying to figure out how to be present, Ayn wanted to understand how to serve her own self-interest, and Martin did not accept the monetization of his belief.
Martin stated that reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has; it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
On the other hand, Ayn though that reason is an axiom, a divine truth that everyone should live by. This formed her view; I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.
While Ayn accumulated fame and wealth as she lived out her philosophy, Buddha concluded that this was the root for his suffering. To be present, he had to stop being concerned by his property, and the adjectives he used to describe his I. Buddha understood that what we think, we become. Later becoming a victim of his own understanding.
Contrary to their fates, most are forgotten. People are too afraid to do what they did. Most people have grit, but they contemplated it, and choose to look another way. Ease is not something shameful, and can save energy if handled right. Yet many fall in the habit of comfort, clutching together with likeminded shaping a clog in our common thought.
Original thinkers have simple ideas. They often start by asking the most humblest of questions – why? Just like you once did. The difference is that they nourished their seeking. Curiosity turned into motivation, passion, slowly misleading them into a state uncomfortable for most. Loneliness.
They all started with a simple notion, focusing on it so much that they did not pay attention to the diminishing light around them. What was seeded with an idea soon shaped the root of a framework - a stem to make order of the world. Their frameworks gave them meaning, which motivated them, and led to an obsessive passion.
When Martin Luther walked over to the Castle Church in Wittenberg and nailed a paper of 95 theses to the door, when Buddha reached his 49th day of meditation under a fig tree, and Ayn wrote her 92-page radio speech for John Galt in Atlas Shrugged - they were all trapped - trapped in their own reality.
Perhaps many of our celebrated minds were lunatics, they had such devotion that they preached their subjective reality. They all perfected their talents, to express themselves in their beliefs, and thereby revealing the very essence of self-expression.
Many people are too afraid to do what they did. Solitude trickles. It starts with your spine, later stuffing your lower back, ties, filling your mind with anxiety. Thoughts then multiply, leaving your gaze in emptiness to finish in a voiceless scream.
Their strength endured the discomfort of monophobia to the point that they could harvest the fruits of their own philosophy, making their framework the opium of their daily lives.
Many people comfortably spend time on things that they do not like. Others have sufficient achievements without any meaning, and only a few harvest the fruits of their own philosophy.

Throughout this week we've been paying tribute to veterans and to those serving today. We looked at organizations that bring vets together through their shared love of bikes, including the Combat Veterans MC, Military Bikers, and the Patriot Guard, who were set up to protect soldiers' funerals from the protests of the Westboro Baptist Church. We also highlighted the Salute To American Veterans Rally taking place in Colorado in August. And, for those who love vintage bikes, we found some footage of recruits training as Army dispatch riders on Harley WLAs.
As an extra bonus, check out this amazing story from England about a biker who lost both legs in Afghanistan when his tank was blown up by an IED. On his return, 33 year old Murray Hambro got right back on a specially adapted Triumph and started riding again. Not just riding – but racing in the British Superbike Championship at speeds of up to 150mph with his True Heroes Racing team.
But now let's look ahead to next week. On Monday May 27, Memorial Day, how will you mark the day? Will you see it as an excuse to stay off work, buy cut-price consumer goods, and watch TV? Or will you use the day to honor our military?
We call on you to spend some time on Memorial Day to thank those who bought our freedom. On Monday, visit the grave of a fallen soldier. They don't have to be related to you, or even known to you. Every person who gave their lives gave them for you.
Better still, do something practical. Organize a yard sale or a charity ride, and donate the proceeds to a veteran's charity. Clear out your garage and donate clothes and blankets to those in need, the homeless, the crippled or the unemployed, those who have been abandoned by those who will never know what it is to serve. Go and visit an elderly vet who needs your help – perhaps a neighbor or a relative. Spend time with them, and show them that you value what they did, and that they are not forgotten.
Be a true American. Help an American hero.
Thank you.
