After viewing a similar bracelet on a very cool and very expensive site, I went to Overstock and found this tribal wrap for 1/4th the price! I've been wearing it a lot already and it's just great!
I ordered this as a Valetine's gift and more afforadable alternative to an authentic Chanloo wrap bracelet. Quality is great, looks incredible. She absolutely loves it! Thank You!
I was really looking forward to this bracelet, ordered in white pearl. Unfortunately, the quality that I received was subpar. Each pearl was slightly deformed and the sizes of each pearl varied enough to make this bracelet look cheap. The leather also looked like plastic. The best thing I can say about this bracelet is that at least you know the pearls are real. But hey, what did I expect for around $$$... So buyers beware, if uniformity in your gem/pearls is something that you look for - do not purchase this item.
Bracelet was attractive and exactly what my Grand daughter like to wear. Product was not cheap but appears to be of good quality so I would like to think that you get what you pay for
I just saw a collection of bracelets that were similar to this when I went to Nordstoms. They were $109.00 and no where near as nice. Woman who was looking at them saw mine and asked if it came from there... When I told her where she could find it and many other colors for $$$.she promptly put the one she was looking at down, thanked me and left! Good pick Overstock!
I love all the colors and is so versatile to wear with so many things
My daughter loves this type of bracelet and I have seen her wear it often. The beads are small but they do look like tiger eyes and she likes it.
This was a great find. I've been looking for a wrap bracelet like this for my daughter since this type of style bracelet is in with the younger generation. I looked at a lot of stores at the mall and also online and I am so thankful that I found these on Overstock.com. The price is so much more affordable that the ones I saw at the mall. My daughter loves the bracelet and her friends all want the same one!
I bought the pearl wrap but the end the wrap is sticky ... feels more like plastic than letter ... however, I couple it with a pair of fresh water pearl earrings I got from Overstock and they are a hit in the office where business casual is the attire.
What a wonderful gift. Wish I had bought one for myself!

Raymond Bruce Hopkins Auckland
Bruce Hopkins is regarded as one of New Zealands most versatile film, television, radio and stage performers. A highlight of his acting career was playing the featured role of 'Gamling', King Theodens general, in 2 of Peter Jacksons trilogy of films, The Lord Of The Rings. In Nov 2010 Bruce won the Best Nationwide Master of Ceremonies Award at the Corporate Events Guide Peoples Choice Awards. Claiming to be a South Pacific Islander, by virtue of having been born a 4th generation Stewart Islander ( Stewart island is one of NZs hidden gems, situated off the southern coast of NZs South Island ), Bruce has a love of the ocean, taking part in ocean swimming events, surfing, snorkelling and fishing. Born at the southern end of NZ Bruce went on to become a commercial crayfisherman, fishing off Cape Reinga, the northern most tip of NZ with his father Bill Hopkins who was a pioneer in the fishing industry. At the age of 22yrs Bruce discovered the world of the performing arts and went on to have an 8yr career as a professional dancer in NZ and Australia. During this time he travelled extensively touring shows throughout NZ and through this time fell in love with the stunning beauty and diversity of landscapes and coastal areas NZ has to offer. Not only does Bruce love travelling throughout NZ himself, he also has a passion for sharing that experience with others. His wealth of experiences means that Bruce has a wonderful array of contacts in various industries throughout NZ.Having also been a coffee roaster, Bruce plays very average guitar, loves listening to music, watching documentaries and sharing ideas with people from all walks of life. Probably the greatest joy in Bruce's life are his 3 adult children and grandson. "I first encountered Bruce Hopkins at The Edge in Auckland, when I was touring with the Royal Shakespeare Company in King Lear and The Seagull. Of course Ian McKellen had encountered Bruce when they worked together on The Lord of the Rings. We met for the first time at the first night reception for King Lear, and Bruce immediately struck me as a wonderfully engaging personality, full of warmth and intelligence. During our time in Auckland, Bruce opened up the city to us, to its diversity and some fascinating hidden corners. All of us found the city to be refreshing and lively, but it was Bruce who lit the spark. As well as being a first-rate actor, he is also a first-rate person whose wit and enthusiasm would be an enormous asset to any exciting and forward-looking organization. He is, as they say, a 'one-off'." Jonathan Hyde

Posted: Thursday December 27, 2012, 11:36 AM
By Joe Iurato of The Record
A New Year's toast is often a muddied concoction of emotion and overindulgence. That vintage Champagne you plan on sharing sparingly among a half dozen friends or so probably won't get quite the attention it deserves. And to be honest, it probably isn't the best choice of bubbly to begin with anyway.
The rich, creamy texture of an age-worthy Champagne is actually at a disadvantage in times like this. The evening's many flavors of food and libation left on the tongue coupled with teary-eyed excitement would fare better with something youthful, bright, and fruit forward.

Meade "Lux" Lewis
Meade "Lux" Lewis
One of the three great boogie-woogie pianists (along with Albert Ammons and Pete Johnson) whose appearance at John Hammond's 1938 Spirituals to Swing concert helped start the boogie-woogie craze, Meade "Lux" Lewis was a powerful if somewhat limited player. He played regularly in Chicago in the late '20s and his one solo record of the time, "Honky Tonk Train Blues" (1927), was considered a classic. However, other than a few sides backing little-known blues singers, Lewis gained little extra work and slipped into obscurity. John Hammond heard Lewis' record in 1935 and, after a search, found Lewis washing cars for a living in Chicago. Soon, Lewis was back on records and after the 1938, concert he was able to work steadily, sometimes in duets or trios with Ammons and Johnson. He became the first jazz pianist to double on celeste (starting in 1936) and was featured on that instrument on a Blue Note quartet date with Edmond Hall and Charlie Christian; he also played harpsichord on a few records in 1941. After the boogie-woogie craze ended, Lewis continued working in Chicago and California, recording as late as 1962, although by then he was pretty much forgotten. Lewis led sessions through the years that have come out on MCA, Victor, Blue Note, Solo Art, Euphonic, Stinson, Atlantic, Storyville, Verve, Tops, ABC-Paramount, Riverside, and Philips. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi

EXCLUSIVE:Vigil Held For Murder Victim, New Leads In CaseIt's been two years since a man was murdered in Crenshaw County. As the vigil is held, investigators say there are new leads that could lead them to the killer. Friday marks the second anniversary of when DeLange Harris was murdered -- a memory his family tells me they'll never be able to erase. May 3rd, 2011 -- it was the day this community said 'goodbye' to 25-year-old murder victim, DeLange Harris. But there were no goodbyes on Thursday, when family, friends and members from his church gathered to remember his life during a vigil held behind his church where he was burried.
Family members say he was the person everyone could depend on -- a man of faith -- he was only 25-years-old. "DeLange meant so much to me. He was away from home for the past two years before he died and he was just right there! He was everything," Said DeLange's mother, Dora Harris. It was two years ago when Crenshaw County Sheriff's deputies found his body on Athens Church Road. Investigators say he was shot in the back of the head and left in a ditch on a quiet dirt road. Since then, deputies have been unable to find who killed him. But the District Attorney's Office and Sheriff's office say new information has come in. "We've had some new witnesses come into play and interviewing them at this time. ANd just got some new information involving the case," Said Crenshaw County Investigator, Mike Johnson. "I miss him more everyday that passes by. And I miss him and I know in the years... I don't know how long I'll be here, but i'll miss him all of my life," Said DeLange's father, John Harris. The family tells us they rely on their faith to get them through each day, but still, they're seeking justice. "We want a killer off the street, Governor Bentley! We want a killer off the street, D.A. Tesmer! We want a killer off the street local officials!" Said Dora Harris. DeLange's Birthday was Wednesday. He would have turned 27. Governor Robert Bentley has issued a $5,000 reward to help crack the case. If you have a tip, call the District Attorney's Office at 334-382-7444. |

Yelp files for $100M IPO, aiming to prove doubters wrong
Yelp, the giant local-reviews network, filed today to raise as much as $100 million in an initial offering--one that, should it come off as planned, would allow the startup to boast it was right to spurn would-be suitors Google and Yahoo.
Yelp didn't disclose a target share price or a potential market cap valuation, which is par for the course in initial IPO filings. Fortune's Dan Primack notes that Yelp is reportedly seeking a valuation in the $1 billion to $2 billion range.
The IPO filing is a big, but long-expected move for Yelp, which was founded … Read more

Why are some infinities larger than other infinities?
Why did the Big Bang happen right then? How does space curve back into itself? How can time slow down at near light speeds? These (and lotsa others) give me migraines so I have learned an important fact of life: Ignorance IS bliss.

Oil boom comes to UND
A particularly young UND program is booming just like the Bakken oil fields in western North Dakota. The Petroleum Engineering Department began just three years ago, with only four students. That number has grown exponentially and now faculty is worried for what's next.

Kim, we used to get almost that much snow when I was a kid...to the rooftops. I remember friends and myself climbing to the roof of the Ford auto center and running and sliding down the roof into snow banks until we were told to go away as the sound of our boots on the roof was disruptive to customers.
something like this diane?
Well, I guess you're right, Jenn. It could be worse. I could also be in Siberia, too. However, I'll just stick to my long, hot, sultry summers here, thanks. I'll just deal with the hurricanes too. Its a great place to live, everyone is soo friendly, the food is out of this world!!!!, and the landscape is wonderful. Greenland will have to do without me for now!!!!

We all seem to be attached to what we grew up with and that's good.
We climbed out the window Rosanne and started shoveling.
Wow kim you get lots of snow..
And we get irritated if we can't feel cool when we're down to our bare nothin's.
Rosanne, yep you climb out a window and start shoveling ! Sometimes you can`t find your car so then you have to get digging!! It is lots of fun!!! It is not always that bad sometimes it depends on how the wind is blowing! If the wind is blowing in your direction, you will get the most snow.
We never got it quite that bad Kim, but I sure know where you're coming from.
Where I came from Rosanne, the city was very good about keeping the roads clear. The only problem you sometime had was when you just finished clearing out the driveway and the snowplow came by and dumped a hill of snow at the end of it...more shoveling.
People way out in the country in the more remote areas were sometimes stuck at home for a day or so unless they had snowplows on their trucks.
The main roads are always kept clear unless it gets real stormy and the plows have to taken off the roads for a period of time. Most times the roads are clear. We were stranded for two days on my side road about two years ago! I thought I was going to go insane! It is a different feeling when you know you can not get out! I was so scared the kids would bump themselves or get sick!
Driving is an adventure too! Trying to get out of parking lots when there are huge piles of snow and you can`t see what is coming! Kim

As your child grows up, he'll start eating away from home more often and making his own decisions about what he eats. Giving your child guidance and information about good nutrition at home can help him make healthy food choices when he's out.
Your child's beliefs and attitudes about food, as well as her eating habits, will start at home and very early in life.
You can set the scene for healthy food choices by providing a wide range of nutritious foods at home. You can also take your child to help you with the food shopping and talk about different foods and their role in your family's health and wellbeing.
Right from the early years, your child will enjoy helping to choose family meals. As your child gets older, he'll also like having some input into what foods go in his lunch or snack box. Eventually, your child will be able to make his own lunch and snacks for school, using the different healthy options you've chosen together for the family fridge and pantry.
Letting your child have a say on family food gives her great practice in making good choices, which will come in handy when she's away from home.
Your child or family might have an active social life, with lots of eating away from home and regular access to 'sometimes' foods. Your child might also want to buy snacks and lunches from the school canteen or tuckshop. Older children often like to stop off for a snack or drink on their way home from school too.
These are all great opportunities for your child to practise choosing good food, but they're also times when your child might be tempted by any 'sometimes' foods on offer. Giving your child some guidance and information about nutrition can help him make good choices in these situations.
Sometimes foods contain large amounts of fat, salt and sugar. They might be things like party foods – ice-cream, chocolate, potato chips and fizzy drinks. Striking a balance with sometimes foods is key. You can help your child take a balanced approach by:
Eating out in restaurants and takeaway outlets often means eating foods that are higher in fat and sugar than you'd have at home. A balanced approach can help your child make healthier food choices in these situations.
When you eat out together, you can encourage your child to think about the foods she's ordering. You might like to guide your child through different menu options and encourage balance. For example, if your child wants hot chips, she could choose grilled meat or fish to go with them, and make sure her meal includes salad or vegetables.
Portion sizes are another thing to watch when you're eating out – they're often much larger than your child would eat at home. Even though you're eating out, your child doesn't have to finish everything on the plate.
If you eat out often, try to go for healthier options and smaller serves.
Teenagers eating out As your child moves into adolescence, his growing independence means he'll probably eat out more often with his friends. Because it's cheap, easy or popular, teenagers often choose food outlets that don't have a lot of healthy options.
You can help your child find ways to make healthier choices while still joining in on the fun. For example, when she's out with friends, she could suggest places with healthier options, make better choices from the foods that are available, and avoid sweet drinks such as soft drinks, juice, shakes and slushies. These tactics can be especially useful if your child has any special diet needs.
Everyone enjoys a meal out and a night off from cooking. But you might find yourself choosing takeaway because you feel like you don't have enough time or energy to cook. If this sounds like your situation, you do have other options. You can make quick, healthy meals at home in the time it takes to order and collect a takeaway.
For example, you and your child could make a pizza together, using pita bread topped with tomato, vegetables and low-fat cheese. A quick tuna and vegetable pasta is another idea. That way you can save sometimes foods for special occasions.
This short video features mums and dads talking about sometimes food, junk food and children. These parents also share strategies for making a healthy diet part of everyday life.
Some say that what works for them is teaching balance, rather than denying their children snacks altogether. They also suggest keeping junk food out of the home if you don't want your children to eat it.

CTE: Newly Recognized Brain Disease
December 10, 2012 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
LAS VEGAS (UPI) — Athletes and soldiers diagnosed with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's might have had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or brain trauma, U.S. researchers say.
"CTE can start months or years after brain trauma has occurred, either in contact sports, military service or perhaps even partner violence," Adm. Regina Benjamin, the U.S. surgeon general, recently told scientists and advocates at the first-ever CTE conference at the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health in Las Vegas.
Different from traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the group said CTE could strike adult and youth alike.
At the CTE conference, experts defined the affliction, exchanged the latest data, developed a diagnosis and outlined a research plan, reported Alzforum, a news source on Alzheimer's and related diseases research.
Research suggests with CTE, toxic proteins creep from the site of impact to other areas of the brain. Because this toxicity moves between cells, researchers refer to the spread as "templating," not "infectious."

You do not have to be a Beatles fan to love this show. This a perfect evening for all generations. The performers are amazing! There really is not a bad seat in the house although we had 3rd row seats in section 105 I would have enjoyed the show from any area in the 100 or 200 section seating and I'm sure the 300 level is not bad either.
Enjoyed it emensly

Building distributed applications with BOINC
Grid computing lets little PCs work on big problems. You can use the grid system of the famous SETI@home project to build your own grid computing solutions.
With the advent of the information society, office PCs spawned at mind boggling rates in most companies. These computers share most of their time with a common task: the idle task. Activities such as browsing the Internet or working on an office document aren't very challenging for contemporary CPUs. If you are sitting next to your PC, and you are not currently encoding audio or videos, invoke the uptime command. The average load will surely be far below 1.0. This low level of usage indicates a poor workload on your PC, which means that your boss paid too much for it. A basic idea behind grid computing is to harness these idle CPU cycles for something useful. For instance, you could use an idle desktop computer to process biomedical signals or simulate an environmental model.

Kudos to Andy Staples of SI.com. The site's college football specialist does the best job yet of explaining just what Harvey Almorn Updyke took from college football fans when he poisoned the 130-year-old oaks at Toomer's Corner on the Auburn campus.
"By killing the trees, he stole all the memories that would have been made under their branches. Though the exact date isn't know, the tradition of rolling Toomer's Corner after a big Auburn win dates back to either 1962 or 1963. For almost 50 years, Auburn students have run, toilet paper in hand, to commemorate what they probably will later consider some of the greatest times in their lives. A student who rolled Toomer's in the 1960s might have sent a child to Auburn in the 1980s. That child may have sent a child of his own to Auburn a few years ago. For three generations, rolling Toomer's meant something in a state where college football victories mean everything.
The next generation won't have that connection to the past. Even if the school brought in new trees, it wouldn't be the same. A tradition, like an oak, has to grow from the earth. It needs years to take root."
You can read all of Staples' piece by clicking here. And you should. (There's even a link to a 1964 Sports Illustrated story about Toomer's Corner.)
As for Updyke, Staples is right on that front, too. "Only someone with a dark, dark heart would throw poison on something that has brought so much joy to so many."

It's just heavily modified Pitbull.
That's one of the best UI setups I've ever seen! What're the raid frames you're using called?
It's 95% Ace addons. The major visual ones being...

You can do this with Ag_unitframes also.
Caulle > Pathis from the vids ? (warcraftmovies)
Some questions -> ur button 1 is a macro ?
Love the bugged Omen ^^
Don't try this @ home
@Caulle, Spell Reflect says "WD", you have it bound to keys W and D? If so, how do you move?
I found AG to be very limited. Pitbull was just crazy imitating when i first heard of it and installed it. I think I uninstalled it 20min later and said "Eff that" to the 10,000 options. I eventually gave it another whirl and can't live without anymore.
Button 1 isn't a macro. It's just Zerker Stance, and I have Zerker Rage on 1 in that stance. I don't use any macros TBH.
WD = Wheel Down, for Mouse Wheel Down.
Nice setup @ Juggernauth, really like it
Could you tell me what the "little black box" on the right side of your target ist ? Looks like a checkbox for debuffs, if it is... where can i get it
@ Caulle... i really like your UI, how did you make the debuff timers for thunderclap & sunder ? Just with ElkBuffBars ?
Looks really useful, sind i allways have to look to the left side of the screen where my NECB Bars are...
It's Demon, you can find it on files.wowaces.com
cool, thx allot for the quick response
Yeah, sorting through 30+ debuffs on a target to check and see if yours are up, and the time remaining totally sucks. And even sorting through your own buffs can suck.
With EBB, you make a new group. (I'm not at home right now so just reciting this to the best of my memory). With that new group you specify the target (self, target, focus) so it would be target in this case. I think you need to also specify debuff somewhere. THen you go into the White List to set up your filters. I've got TC, Demo, Sunder, FF, and taunt/growl all in there. You'll need to actually target something with those debuffs first before they appear in the White List to select. If that doesn't work, let me know, I'll can write the exact steps when I'm home.
You can do this for anything really, and make as many groups as you want. That's why I have the little group next to my character frame for shouts. There's a Fear Ward filter in there too.
I have to upload a newer version, in my latest I've got the unitframes sidebyside again with some more info on 'em like level and name
btw, @Caulle, you running on 22' WideScreen display, right? ^^
Mine wont arrive soon, it's really hard to make a good fitting UI on 17'' LCD
Too huge to link as an image.
btw, @Caulle or anyone who uses pitbull, how do you make the red damage text appear in party/raid frames for each member?

These elegant eggs rest in the warm light until baby birds from a magical world emerge. |

Thanks for the heads up! The iPad 3 resolution should be showing now! |
Mike D |
Can you make for new iPad? For the holiday? Thanks. |
OtherMike |
I've inverted the colors on my computer and boy does this look cool! |
Ben |
I like the shot, the desire to show more detail on individual eggs is where you stand out. Love the detail! |
Ryan |
Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to zoom in so I could add some DOF to the image. |
Ralf |
Very pretty, but I would have liked to see more eggs, as in your original. Keep up the good work! |
Dee |
I love this image- I have a dual screen set-up and it is such a delight to just look at the curves, colours and textures. I'm not sure why, but it reminds me of your images 'rocks 1' and 'rocks 2'- the light, the shapes?? Not sure, but, as always, I am in awe of your talent :) |
Logan |
I'm trying to think up a witty comeback to yours but all that's coming to mind is Humpty Dumpty. Oh well I guess it's not all it's cracked up to be. |
Ryan |
It would seem that any device with an accelerometer to keep track of the orientation (iPad, Playbook, Xoom(?)) is going to require a square image. |

1024x1024 fixes the problem :) ty |

Happy Easter Ryan, hope you and you're family are enjoying it. Reallyl ike this, there are some cool texture effects in here. T |

Then I should add the Playbook label to the 1024 x 1024 images. Thanks for the info! |

Dang it! I was so focused on my yokes that I totally forgot to include happy Easter wishes! Better do another post... "1024 x 1024 is the correct resolution, there are multiple places that discuss the screen rotation as the reason for this size. Hopefully this helps you, there is already a great wallpaper thread going with some great contributions from the community." Yes, 1024x600 is the correct resolution for the screen at any given time, but it seems like the Playbook does the same thing as the Droid X and just stretches the wallpaper out to all possible areas on the "virtual" screen resolution. I got the info from two forum posts (below). Hope this helps! :-D Happy Easter Everybody!

I wish I could tell you what the resolution is. everything i find says the same, but when i use a 1024X600 pic, it shows it at 100% and chops off 1/3 to 1/2 the pic.. The core pictures work fine, but i have no way of accessing them on my computer so can't see the resolution. Sry. Trial and error? |
Ryan |
Very funny. Yolk yolk yolk! |
DAVdaBRAV |
Eggcellent work once again Ryan! Although I like the original a little better, this is to dye for! Maybe it's because the first one's colors were more on the sunny side, or because there were more eggs. Alas, with only one monitor most of the new eggs are hidden off-screen! I know you could make it better if you had more time and wanted to work on it, but it's not like you've got all your eggs in one basket with Tropic of Thesis and Dolmen on the way--I can't find anything wrong this one anyway. I hope it wasn't over-easy for you. But, Ggee it looks shell! Easter anything you can't do? wiew... >:) |
The Guru |
I can't believe you're letting Logan egg you on in this battle of puns... BuDUM PSHH! Ryan, I have to say that I like this one. I'll probably only have it up on Easter Sunday but it's a good one. |
Ryan |
I read the RIM Playbook had a 1024 x 600 screen size. Do you have a link to the correct size? |
cw |
1024x600 is not the res of the playbook fyi, it is much smaller. i look forward to true size images as there are no sizing options for wallpaper on the playbook. still love the art :) |
Roland |
To you and your Family! Keep up the great work as always. My laptop has all your wallpapers exclusively set as my screen saver. |
David |
Hi for some reason the eggs at full resolution seem really out of focus, or at least there is no single focus point in the image? The closest focus point I can tell is the top of the yellow/purple egg to the left, but that seems weird. I'm using the dual screen 5120x1600, but it looked similar in the 2560x1600. When fully zoomed out its not as noticeable. Anyone notice this as well? If the focus could be fixed so these are sharper it would be amazing :) |

Hahaha. I must have had scrambled brains when I posted that! |

Nice Ryan! Very stylish.. EGGS! Not bad at all! tho i know for sure that if you really wanted to... you could do much much better! =) cheers! happy EASTER! |
Jeff |
I actually prefer this one since the colors are not so....loud? I guess that's the best way I can describe it. Although, I prefer my backgrounds dark (i.e. Hidden Forces & Phraxis), so consider my review a bit biased in that regard. Otherwise, like Logan said: "egg-cellent" :) |
Lidia |
This is nice, but I actually like the original better; it looks more colorful. |

Ryan, Great Easter desktop wallpaper! I look foward to your next work of art! |

Exactly what I was looking for ! Well done ryan, Happy Easter to you and your family ! |

Never thought about an update for this since the original is still really good, but an update is always welcome! :D Pretty. :) |

That is the highest of praise. Children are my biggest competition! |

Don't you mean "egg-cellent"? I crack myself up... |

Ooops! The links in the dropdown were wrong. They are fixed now. Apologies! |
Mike |
Put me down as having the same problem as Adamtrons - tried both the 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 link for the wallpaper and was taken to the fisherman link. |
Scott |
I didn't think you could get any better than the earlier version either, but this one looks even more realistic! I especially like the swirly orange one that's sitting up toward the right. |
Jason B |
Can't wait to see the dual-screen! |
Tina |
I love the change but I still love the original too. (: |
Matt |
I think it's fixed now :) Or i'm just lucky :) |

For some reason when I click the 1920 X 1080 link, it's going to the fisherman11080p.jpg (wrong one). I tried it from two different PC's and the same thing happened. :( |

Gotta love the little innuendo to 4/20 |

Nice update to the excellent original. |

Those eggs are awesome! ^^ |

The colors all look good and I like the designs on the eggs as well. Makes me wish I could do that to my eggs. |

I love this one, a resolution that nicely fits my screen(1366 x 768). Colours are awesome, not crazy at all. |

Blessed Jordan of Pisa
Joined the Dominicans at Pisa, Italy in 1280. Educated at the University of Paris, France. Lector at Sainta Maria Novella church in Florence, Italy in 1305. Noted preacher in and around Florence. Founded the Confraternity of the Holy Redeemer at Pisa. Professor of theology at Saint James Friary, Paris in 1311. A visionary, Jordan had two great devotions – Our Lady and Saint Dominic de Guzman.
Made a scientific study of the use of preaching as an apostolic tool. Considered a daring innovator for extending the use of vernacular Italian as a beautiful, musical language of evangelization; his use of Italian and Tuscan helped lead to the modern Italian language. Knew the breviary, missal, most of the Bible (with commentary), and the second part of the Summa Theologica by heart. Quick to state that learning alone can never make a preacher; it needed a holiness of life.
- 19 August 1311 at Piacenza, Italy of natural causes while on his way to teach in Paris, France
- relics venerated at the church of Saint Catalina at Pisa, Italy
God of holiness, by the integrity of his life and gentle manner you made Blessed Jordan a fitting minister to preach the gospel. By following his example may we generously strive to serve you through service to our neighbor and so gain the fruit of an everlasting reward. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. - General Calendar of the Order of Preachers

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's complaint database highlights the worst problems people have with collectors.
We've all had the experience of answering the phone only to have the "Sorry, I think you have the wrong number" conversation. Maybe there's some awkward exchange after that, perhaps an apology, and then someone hangs up. The end.
Imagine it went differently: What would you do if the caller said, "I don't care you're the wrong person," and proceeded to talk to you? You'd probably hang up and hope he doesn't call back.
If it's a debt collector, he's calling back.
The self-employed have several ways to save more for retirement in tax-advantaged accounts. Here are 3 of the most popular options.
A new study finds that raising the minimum wage would reduce food stamp expenditures by 6 percent.
This post comes from Krystal Steinmetz of partner site Money Talks News.
Don't like food stamps? Raise the minimum wage. That's the finding of a new study (.pdf file) by the Center for American Progress, a left-leaning Washington, D.C., think tank.
The report says a hike in the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 per hour, as proposed by the Obama administration, would cut the federal food stamp bill by $4.6 billion a year and reduce enrollment in the program by up to 9.2 percent.
The report is one of the first to study how increasing the federal minimum wage would impact the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, commonly known as food stamps. SNAP reaches about 1 in 7 Americans and had a hefty $78 billion price tag in 2011.
University of California economist Michael Reich co-authored the Center for American Progress report. According to The Washington Post:
Phone costs are ticking higher, even as competition increases among carriers.
This post comes from Thomas Gryta at partner site The Wall Street Journal.
Wireless bills are going up, and they are staying up. WSJ's Tom Gryta explains why, despite competition for smartphones, bills aren't going down yet.
While carriers have trimmed the price of their plans here and there in recent months, billings per user continue to grow amid a shift to smartphones and a surge in wireless Internet use.
The results call into question the notion of a price war in the U.S. market. Rather than aggressively compete outright on price, carriers are tailoring their moves to accomplish other goals as well, like weaning customers off expensive smartphone subsidies and encouraging them to use more data.
Healthy dogs can eat dry or canned dog food. Choose brands that contain high-quality ingredients and fit your budget.
Some "convenience" items come with a shocking markup. Even a minimal amount of prep work can help you get the most from your shopping dollars.
This post comes from Donna Freedman at partner site Money Talks News.
It's no secret that we pay for "convenience" at the supermarket. But have you ever done the math?
I ran the numbers on some of those "value-added" items while researching a magazine article. My favorite grocery gouge was the "toddler pack" of Cheerios, a 1-ounce plastic container that sold for $1.89.
That's more than $30 per pound! Elsewhere in the store you could buy the O-shaped cereal for as little as $1.95 per pound.
Anytime somebody sells cereal by the cup or puts a pre-measured amount of detergent into a "pod," expect markups that range from shocking to ridiculous. That's a shame, because even a small amount of prep work could keep you from falling back on, say, precooked rice in a microwavable cup.
Yes, that's a real product -- and it worked out to almost five times as much as the bags of uncooked swamp seed on the shelf below. If you want to have ready-to-eat rice on hand at all times, cook up a batch and freeze it in you-sized portions. Problem solved.
With the growth of mobile and online banking, using pen and paper to write a check seems more outdated every day.
This post comes from Casey Bond at partner site GoBankingRates.com.
How often do you write a personal check?
If you're like many of the respondents in the latest GoBankingRates poll, never.
With the increasing availability of mobile and online banking options, traditional checking account products like paper personal checks are falling out of usage.
Online bill pay, peer-to-peer payment apps and other, more convenient ways of moving money are taking their place.
Banking customers ditch personal checks
In a 2014 poll, GoBankingRates asked how often banking customers wrote personal checks.
The most common response was "never," with 37.8 percent. That was followed by "several times a month" (25.6 percent), "a few times a year" (20.5 percent) and "once a month" (16.1 percent).
Get your emergency fund together now if you want to avoid stumbling over costly surprises in the future.
This post comes from Donna Freedman at partner site GetRichSlowly.org.
I'm back, and I sound just like your mom: Save that dang emergency fund, already.
Last week (Feb. 24-March 1) was America Saves Week. And it didn't come a moment too soon: As a nation, we're losing ground. An ASW survey shows that just 51 percent of us have a savings plan with specific goals; four years ago that number was 55 percent. (Still too low, IMHO.) Just 40 percent of us have budgets that allow for savings at all, compared with 46 percent in 2010.
The ASW report notes several reasons (stop me if these sound familiar): relatively high unemployment and underemployment rates, stagnant wages and the struggle to pay off homes. (Hint: In the past four years, the number of homeowners who expected to pay off mortgages before retirement dropped 10 percent.)
So yes, I know it can be hard to save. Boy, do I know. (More on that later.) This is especially true if you're living paycheck to paycheck or, worse, from unemployment check to unemployment check. But in most cases saving is possible.

YouTube, Bing and UFC coming to Xbox Live
by Xav de Matos, Jun 06, 2011 10:08am PDTMicrosoft has announced three new features coming to Xbox Live: YouTube, Bing search, and UFC media programming.
YouTube will allow users to, as you would guess, watch YouTube videos from the comfort of your couch. Bing doesn't add a browser to the console, but will categorize and list content available on the Xbox Live--including via partners like Netflix--on the console's dashboard.
The Xbox 360 will also receive Ultimate Fighting Championship media content, UFC boss Dana White revealed during Microsoft's Pre-E3 conference.
Additionally, the Xbox 360 will continue to be updated in order to allow users to search and use features using voice commands via the Kinect peripheral.

Tomball Police arrested a man in the process of beating and choking a woman near the Tribune office last week.
Police said that Anthony Aaron Royal, 30, of Tomball, found his ex-girlfriend at a laundry facility on Magnolia Street.
"She fled from him at that time and he caught up to her in an alleyway just south of Main Street," said Tomball Police Cpt. Rick Grassi. "He tried to talk to her about their relationship and didn't like what he heard, because he struck her in the face."
At that point, Grassi said that Royal allegedly grabbed the woman around her neck with his arm and began dragging her down the alleyway. Someone from a nearby restaurant or motel saw the incident and called police.
Police arrived and arrested Royal at gunpoint, where they transported him to the Tomball city jail. He was later transferred to the Harris County Jail.
The victim was transported to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.
Royal is a man who Tomball Police and other law enforcement agencies have dealt with before.
"We arrested him a few months prior to this incident for family violence," Grassi said.
Royal had recently pled no contest last November to those charges and served a little more than a month in the Harris County Jail. He also has a string of prior drug related arrests in Harris County.
The Harris County District Attorney's Office also filed an emergency order of protection against Royal, on behalf of the victim, which a judge approved.
Royal has been charged with a felony domestic violence charge, because he choked the woman. Grassi explained that anytime that an assault occurs where someone impedes the victim's ability to breathe; charges are automatically updated to a third degree felony.
As of press time Royal was still in the Harris County Jail, held with no bond. A court appearance was held Feb. 8, but results of that appearance were not yet available.
A Magnolia man was sentenced to 30 years in prison Jan. 15, after being convicted of felony family violence charges stemming from an incident last summer.
Matthew Lee Hudson was sentenced as a habitual felony offender, based on more than four prior felony convictions and faced a punishment range of 25 years to life in prison. Assistant district attorneys Adam McLane and Andrew James presented the case to a Montgomery County Jury, who returned the sentence within hours of closing arguments.
Around 10:30 p.m. the night of June 29, 2013, Officers Montgomery, Brown and Salmsassi from the Magnolia Police Department responded to a welfare check in the 17000 block of Windward Lane. When they arrived, they heard yelling and noticed broken items on the front porch of the residence. Through an open door, officers saw a woman inside bleeding from the face. Hudson refused to come out when the officers announced their presence. With their weapons drawn, the officers made entry into the home and, after a brief confrontation, Hudson surrendered and was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on charges of Assault Family Violence. Further investigation into Hudson's background revealed a 2009 conviction for the same charge, making the most recent offense a third degree felony.
"Mr. Hudson's extensive criminal history proves he does not have the capability to conform to the laws of this community," Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon said. "Habitual criminals and violent offenders continue to be the focus of our office and we will do what we can to separate them for those of us that abide by the law. My thanks go out to the jury, who with their verdict, put the safety of the community first."
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston police have shot and killed a man who allegedly fired into his estranged wife's office then tried to enter the building.
Internal affairs officers are reviewing Tuesday afternoon's shooting. Police say the officer who fatally shot the suspect has been with the force since 1984.
Police say a 911 call from the woman, who had a restraining order against her husband, summoned officers.
Investigators say the suspect, who briefly ducked into a waiting taxi he apparently took to the building, refused to put down a pistol and threatened to harm his spouse. An officer shot the husband before the suspect could enter the woman's building.
Houston police believe the gunman, whose name was not immediately released, was also responsible for a shot fired into the building early Tuesday.

ABILENE, Texas (AP) — Police in West Texas have shot and killed a gunman who allegedly slipped into his estranged wife's home by removing an air conditioner.
Abilene Police Chief Stan Standridge says the man died at a hospital following Wednesday morning's shooting. The wife wasn't hurt.
The woman called 911 to say her estranged spouse was in her bedroom. Police say the man apparently removed a window air conditioning unit to get inside and threatened to kill her. He then allegedly walked to the backyard.
Standridge says the 49-year-old man, whose name wasn't immediately released, had a loaded revolver. The suspect allegedly pointed the gun at officers and wouldn't surrender.
Both officers opened fire and shot him several times.
The officers have been put on administrative leave during a review of the incident.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Chris Brown is scheduled to return to a Los Angeles courtroom for the first time in more than a year amid questions about his community service.
The R&B singer is on probation for the 2009 beating of his then-girlfriend Rihanna and had been ordered to perform six months' worth of community service, including graffiti removal, roadside cleanup and other manual labor.
Brown has completed his terms with praise from a judge, however a prosecutor raised concerns about how many hours he had completed.
The singer has received praise from a judge overseeing his probation for the 2009 beating of Rihanna, but an audit of his community service was ordered in July.
Brown was also ordered to appear in court for a review of his probation on Monday.
