"He was dedicated to the sport," Charlie added. "That's all you can do out in the country."
Gandee's family asked mourners to wear camouflage or the neon-colored Gandee Candy T-shirts to the service because Shain didn't like to dress up.
Ricky Sater, 23, said his friend would have loved the sea of camo and T-shirts that filled the auditorium.
"He probably would walk in there going, 'BUCKWILD!'" he said.
Sater has known Shain since middle school and last saw him a week ago, when he came over to borrow a pin for a trailer hitch.
"He said, 'See ya, Rick!' and I said, 'See ya, drunk!" recalled Sater, who got the terrible news days later in a phone call.
"My sister told me about it, and it being April Fool's, I thought she was joking. But she wasn't," he said, swallowing hard. "I try to keep my emotions balled up, but I started breaking down about six hours later."
Shooting was underway on season two at the time of Gandee's death, but MTV spokesman Jake Urbanski said film crews were not with him over Easter weekend and hadn't filmed him since earlier that week.
MTV says it will be weeks before producers and cast members decide whether to continue. For now, the network said, everyone is focused on supporting Gandee's family.
Katrina Burdette, 25, of Cross Lanes, didn't know Gandee but is friends with his cast mate, Ashley Whitt. Burdette has watched every episode and wants to see more.
"I think it should go on. Give them time to mourn and everything, but he'd want the show to go on," she said. "He wanted to be in the show and keep it going, so why not - in his memory - keep it going?"
MTV said the half-hour series in the old "Jersey Shore" time slot was pulling in an average of 3 million viewers per episode since its premiere and was the No. 1 original cable series on Thursday nights among 12- to 34-year-olds.
Others, like his neighbors the Framptons, say the show just won't be the same.
"They should just leave well enough alone," Charlie Frampton said.
But he won't object if the show survives. It's bringing people to West Virginia, and he rejects the notion that it portrays the state in a negative light.
"They're just showing what true country is," he said. "It's no worse than that 'Teen Mom.'"

The Artist and The Descendants big winners at Golden Globe awards
Golden Globe winners, including 'The Artist,' and 'The Descendants,' are likely now to be frontrunners for the Oscars. Meryl Streep won best actress for 'The Iron Lady.'
(Page 2 of 2)
Iranian film "A Separation" was named best foreign language film, and its director, Ashgar Farhadi, used the opportunity to tell world audiences that "my people. I think they are a truly peace-loving people."
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
The Golden Globe Awards are given out by the roughly 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association at what annually is among the key events during Hollywood's awards season because of the media exposure it brings.
Many of the movies and stars that win here also go on to compete for Oscars later this year, and "The Artist," which was the most-nominated film coming into the Golden Globes with six nods overall, will certainly become a frontrunner for the world's top film honors, as will "Descendants" and "The Help."
Oscar nominations from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will given out on Jan. 24.
Unlike the Oscar voters, HFPA members also vote on their favorite TV shows and performances and in that arena "Homeland," about a modern-day CIA agent tracking returning war soldiers who may be terrorists, took home two Golden Globes for best drama series and best actress in a drama for Claire Danes.
Best actor in a drama TV series went to Kelsey Grammer for his role as a stern corporate manager in "Boss."
"Modern Family," a take on extended families in current-day America, took the prize for best comedy and its stars enjoyed one of the more memorable moments of the night when star Sofia Vergara gave their acceptance speech in Spanish, with English translation from creator Steve Levitan.
Best actress in a TV comedy went to Laura Dern for "Enlightened" and the comedic actor trophy was won by Matt LeBlanc for "Episodes."
Coming into the show, all eyes were on host Gervais, who ruffled the feathers of many a Hollywood celebrities last year at the Golden Globes. While he didn't tone down his jokes for the 2012 audience -- making fun of Johnny Depp, Jodie Foster, Kim Kardashian and the HFPA itself -- it seemed the stars were in the mood for his biting wit this time around.
"I thought he did a great job," Clooney told reporters backstage. "I think he handled tonight like a proper good host again ... people were expecting a lot of trash talk, and he did a little bit of that, and he made me laugh, he was very funny."
In fact, it seemed Gervais' humor was rather tame at some points compared to others who made penis jokes onstage and used foul language. At one point, Gervais came onstage drinking a beer, but somehow that seemed fitting for an awards show that bills itself as one big Hollywood party.

Three explorers became lost in the jungle and wandered for days with no food and little water. One day, just as they were finally about to give up, they crawled into a clearing and there right in front of them stood a Cannibal's Restaurant. Out front near the entrance was a large menu board. With the little energy they had left, they dragged themselves across the clearing and looked up to see the following menu:
Par boiled Priest $12.00
Roast Lion Hunter $14.00
Steamed Politician $198.50
They struggled in, dragged themselves to a table, and a waiter came to take their order. Before they ordered, one of the explorers asked the waiter "Can you help me understand your menu? The first two items are priced about the same, but the third item, the politician, is priced so much higher. Why is that?"
"Are you kidding?" replied the waiter, "Did you ever try to clean one of those suckers?"

Two Blondes Joke
A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out.
Her boss, concerned about his employee's well being, asks sympathetically, "What's the matter? "
The blonde replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away. " "I'm terribly sorry to hear that. Why don't you go home for the day... we aren't terribly busy. Just take the day off to relax and rest. "
The blonde very calmly explains, "No, I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here. "
The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual. "If you need anything, just let me know," he says.
A few hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out over his office and sees the blonde crying hysterically. He rushes out to her, and asks, "Are you going to be okay? Is there anything I can do to help? " "No," re plies the blonde, "I just got a call from my sister, and she said that HER mom died too! "

It is a lot boxier in reality. Also, the fabric feels very gauzy to me, which also means I'll have to wear a shirt underneath as it is not the warmest sweater.

It wouldn't be Yankee Homecoming without the annual Newburyport High Alumni Baseball Game. And although this year's game will be the second played at Pettingell Park, it will be the first to be done in the shadow of a permanent sign dedicated to the former coach, Bill Pettingell.
"When the dedication of the field took place last (year) in front of so many great people that I really care about, I was emotional and speechless," said Pettingell. "Last Tuesday, when I actually saw my name on the field after Rick Salmonson and Coach (Steve) Malenfant actually finished putting it up, I received goose bumps and then became extremely proud of my Pettingell name and what it represented presently as well as in the future. What is more important to anyone than their last name? It is clearly the greatest gift my parents gave to me."
With their numbers growing with the addition of the Class of 2013, the Odds team will once again face the Evens, followed by the annual awards ceremony that will see recent graduate Ryan Short receiving this year's alumni scholarship. The 2013 Person of the Year Award will go to the current freshman coach, Rob Daigle, of the Class of 1982.
"I was shocked and excited at the same time," Daigle said. "I told coach (Pettingell) when he told me that I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It's an emotional time to get something like that. You don't expect or try to get it. But when it happens, it's pretty cool."
Daigle was a one-year varsity starter at third base for the Clippers and went on to play for the U.S. Army for nine years. He also pitched and played shortstop for the All U.S. ARMY Europe Baseball team, playing in 15 different countries against both military and civilian opponents. Daigle also started a German national baseball team, where he played and coached 13- to 18-year-olds, even though they had never played baseball before.
"The basics of baseball had to be taught to them from square one," said Daigle. "And then at the same time, a lot of them only spoke German. So you had to translate it. (But) they wanted to know more about the American game. And you had 13-year-old kids that got out there and within three weeks, they had mastered the game. I had two 15-year-olds who were just phenomenal. And they had never played baseball before. They picked up the game like it was nothing. We only had problems with the pitching."
Daigle also played both in the Boston and Denver Men's Baseball Leagues before returning home to become a volunteer assistant coach for the state champion Clippers in 2011.
"That was awesome," Daigle said. "I had been back for a little while, and I always wanted to be a part of that team. It was fun to be a part of it and to teach the kids. (And) they didn't know me or had even met me before. So, for them to listen and for us, as a coaching staff, to go through that run was just amazing."
Currently a housekeeping manager at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital in Dover, N.H., Daigle played the role of Clippers junior varsity coach in 2012 and freshman coach in 2013.
"It's a very exciting time to be a part of the organization," said Daigle. "(Malenfant) used to be my paper boy. He was my Babe Ruth coach when I was a junior in high school. I've known him most of my life. We have our battles on a consistent basis, but it's only because we're both hardheaded and stubborn baseball players. But it's a fun time. All of us in the coaching staff get along well together. It's a great system to be a part of."
Even though Daigle spent almost 25 years away from Newburyport before returning home in 2007, he still plays the game three to four times a week and said that he always kept Clipper ball with him wherever he was.
"Absolutely, everywhere I went," said Daigle. "Everything that Coach Pettingell taught me from the simple things in the game and how to master the game and also just to play the game right. Coach P. always told us to play the game right. Wins or losses don't matter as long as you're playing it right."

What Drives Monetary Policy in Post-Crisis East Asia? Interest Rate or Exchange Rate Monetary Policy Rules
This paper estimates a simple small open macroeconomic model to analyse the effectiveness of monetary policy rules (MPRs) where either the nominal interest rate or the nominal exchange rate is the policy instrument. The aim is to ascertain which of those MPRs are best suited for a selection of inflation targeting economies of Asia. Normally, one would associate inflation targeting with interest rate rules but it is thought that, due to fear of floating, exchange rate rules may well be more effective given the openness of these economies. It is found that interest rate rules seem to better reflect the prevailing policy regime than exchange rate rules. It is also found that stronger relationships pertaining to the interest rate rules are found in the case of Korea and Thailand than for Indonesia and the Philippines. Exchange rates appear to be very influential in determining the value of the nominal interest rate but not in a policy sense.Download Info

Let's face it. In today's times of unrelenting stress, heavy levels of pollution and diets laden with fast food, it's a tough job maintaining our health and well being. A fish oil supplement can be that edge you need to tackle all these destructive forces and keep naturally healthy for long.
But how does this fare against directly eating fish? Let's find out.
Now, there's no doubt that fish is the hands down best omega 3 source out there. It's much ahead of the other sources in this category like flax seed or krill. However, there are a couple of problems in eating it directly as opposed to taking a fish oil supplement.
For one, the amount of omega 3 you get by eating fish is not nearly enough to provide all the health benefits these fatty acids have to offer. You need to take at least 250 mg DHA and 100 mg EPA fats on a daily basis to derive the maximum benefits – anything less will not do.
To get this amount of omega 3 by eating fish, you would need to eat copious amounts of it and make it a staple part of your diet. Now, I don't know about you, but that doesn't very appetizing to me. Don't get me wrong, I like fish too, but only occasionally. And unless you're an avid fish lover, it would be difficult for you too. In contrast, just taking a couple of pills a day of a quality fish oil supplement would provide you with all the omega 3 your body needs.
This may not seem like a big issue, but fact is, it's these little things that decide if you're going to stick through with a good practice in the long run. The ease and simplicity of a supplement will almost always last longer than say, eating fish daily for years and years.
Secondly, contamination is a big issue when we talk about the best omega 3 source.
Ocean waters the world over have now become heavily polluted – that's a universally accepted fact. What this also means is, the fish residing in these waters ingest the contaminants from it, and when you eat such fish, the pollutants like lead, mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls make their way into your body too! The resultant health problems are the biggest downside in eating fish.
This problem is taken care of in a good fish oil supplement, as they contain oil that has been thoroughly cleansed by cutting edge techniques like Molecular Distillation. The resultant oil is really pure and absolutely safe for consumption.
Now that you know this, it's easy to see which is the best omega 3 source of the two. If you are looking for a high quality supplement containing DHA and EPA rich purified oil, check out Xtend Life's website. Their products are world class and are used by thousands of people all over the globe.

''If you're looking for the completely unrelated manhwa, see [[Manhwa/DorothyOfOz here.]]''
'''Dorothy of Oz''' is a 2014 CG musical film based on Roger S. Baum's[[note]] L. Frank's great-grandson[[/note]] book of the same name. It's also the latest in a long line of attempts to make another Oz film that can survive in the shadow of the [[Film/TheWizardOfOz 1939]] [[ToughActToFollow classic]]. Instead of going down the DarkerAndEdgier route - [[Film/ReturnToOz we know how well that turned out]] - ''Dorothy'' seems to be trying to recreate the cheerful tone of its famous predecessor, if its concept art is [[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=379594797667&set=a.379594717667.159752.207510877667&type=1&theater anything]] [[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=388238677667&set=a.379594717667.159752.207510877667&type=1&theater to]] [[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=422040412667&set=a.379594717667.159752.207510877667&type=1&theater go]] [[http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=388238677667&set=a.379594717667.159752.207510877667&type=1&theater by.]]
'''The official synopsis:'''
There is trouble in Oz and Dorothy is needed! With Glindas help, she and Toto return to Oz. Joined by her old friends the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Lion as well as exciting new characters, Dorothy sets out on a perilous journey to stop the crafty Jester from using the power of the Wicked Witch of the Wests wand to turn the people of Oz into puppets. That seems to be the least of Dorothys problems as her travels lead her straight into a treacherous maze, a cave full of very hungry dragons and an evil spell that could destroy the Yellow Brick Road. Dorothy has the daunting knowledge that it is up to her to stop Jesters terrible plan. Audiences will welcome the return of the old Oz favorites and will love meeting new friends like Tugg a gruff talking boat and Wiser an owl with an unlucky attraction to molasses.
ItMakesSenseInContext. Probably. A prequel graphic novel to this film is available from IDW Publishing.
!!This film has examples of:
* [[ThreeDMovie 3D Movie]]
* AllCGICartoon
* BalefulPolymorph: The Jester wants to turn the Ozians into puppets.
* BigBad: The Jester
* CrapsackWorld: With the Jester in charge, Oz probably becomes one of these.
* DevelopmentHell: The release date keeps getting pushed back. ''Possibly'' so as to capitalize on ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful''.
* DoomedHometown: Dorothy's got wrecked by that tornado.
* EvilOverlooker: See the poster above.
* HeyItsThatVoice: LeaMichele as Dorothy, Martin Short as the Jester, Dan Akroyd as the Scarecrow, Kelsey Grammer as the Tin Man, Jim Belushi as the Cowardly Lion, Bernadette Peters as Glinda, Megan Hilty (Glinda in ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'') as the China Doll Princess, and Patrick Stewart as Tugg.
* TheMusical
* MythologyGag: The Dainty China Country and its princess appeared in a single chapter of the the very first Oz book.
** Also, Megan Hilty from {{Theatre/Wicked}} plays the China Princess in question. And LeaMichele, who sung "Defying Gravity" and "For Good" in {{Series/Glee}}, is Dorothy.
* PuttingTheBandBackTogether
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits
* TenMinuteRetirement: It is implied that Dorothy is taken back to Oz almost immediately after returning from her first trip.

Alekhine's Defense, which I know up to 4.c4. However, both players continued to make "book" moves until 9.d5. Black played 9...Bxb1 which looked wrong in the game, and is definitely out of book.
White's ideas are to solidify the pawn chain on the Queenside, and dominate the e-file, eventually capturing it, and penetrating with a decicive advantage, working his way up to a crushing victory. The game didn't turn out that way, but hey! we need to build a good vision and have something upon which to base plans and calculate tactics.
By 16.Rbe2, White has most of the e file, and a good pawn chain. However, having potential, and being able to execute on that potential are two very different things. By 20.Rxe7, White has completed the operation of capturing the e-file. But then didn't see 20...Nbd7... why not? White envisioned being able to scoop up pawns. Instead White is greeted with an effective block.
Following this, Black is able to exchange Rooks, and transition to a Knight and Bishop and pawns v two Knights and pawns endgame. By 34.Kf4, White is committing his King to a fight on the Kingside, when (according to Jason Specter playing in the U2100 section) White should send his King to the Queenside, and force a passed pawn there. White would get there first, and may have an advantage.
Still on the Kingside, by 42...Ke7 we reach what looks like a classic position of opposition and "coordinated squares". And by 47.Kg7, we have a position which looks very similar to classic treatises on the endgame where White should be able to force the Black King back deep into the Queenside, and gobble pawns in the process with an advantage. The reality is that a breakthrough is not possible, and by 52.b5 the position is completely drawn.
Great technique, wrong plan.
@Gunners, you have a point, a strong point. I forgot to add that right around that point in the post mortem review that Jason Specter was very animated and waving his hands asking me how come I didn't bring my King into the fight?? :-)
@Harvey apart from the plan described in your notes re white king infiltrating on the queenside I wonder is there any merit to playing Kg4 as opposed to 33 h4. After hxg5 Kxg5 and white will have a passed h pawn.
As the black knight is restrained by the bishop on f5, the Black King will have to watch that h-pawn, possibly allowing the white king to penetrate on e7?

Click here for Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket Ferry Schedule Like the trip to Nantucket the cruising time is about two and a half hours. I am often asked the question, "which island is better?" You could ask a hundred Cape Codders that question and the response would probably be evenly divided between the two islands. I would be happy to tell you (in private) which Island I prefer. Some differences as I see them:
The boat docks at the main village. Although a guide tour is nice it is far from necessary on Nantucket. It is easy to see some sights by renting a bicycle on Nantucket. Great shopping and great restaurants abound. Visit the Whaling Museum
Martha's Vineyard:
There are many picturesque villages beyond where the boat leaves you on the Vineyard. Be sure to take a guided tour, rent a car on the island, or use the public transit. There is much to see on Martha's Vineyard - wonderful fishing villages and of course the Cliffs at Gay Head
Here you can see the big car ferry leaving for Nantucket. This photo was taken from the balcony at the Harbor House Inn. The ferry passes by both of Hyannis' beaches several times a day.

SRK dazzles at IIFA despite knee injury
Toronto: Despite a knee injury giving him trouble, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan made sure the lack of top stars did not dim the dazzle at the IIFA night here, charming the audience with his presence and witty one-liners.
Shahrukh, who was seen walking with a slight limp ever since he landed here for the IIFA weekend, was greeted by hysterical fans wherever he went.
Despite the awards ceremony starting nearly two hours late, audiences lapped up Shahrukh, described in the local media as a Brad Pitt calibre star, the minute he was on stage with hosts Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh.
He joked with the duo, hosting the IIFA awards for the 4th time, told them they were bad hosts and gave them tips on how to do a better job.
The more than 20,000 crowd did not even mind the silly jokes of Boman and Riteish, as long they could see Shahrukh in person for most of the time.
Shahrukh was attending the IIFA after a gap of six years and also walked away with the best actor trophy.
In fact, Shahrukh and Anushka Sharma, who won the best actress award, were the only two stars from the list of nominees in both categories who were present at the event.
Shahrukh also danced to the tunes of his own film songs, as also on the Aamir Khan hit `Aati kya khandala` and a song from Salman Khan starrer Dabangg.
Though his moves were considerably scaled down due to his knee injury, he compensated for it with his humourous one liners and jokes, telling the fans that the best dance steps were conceived in Bollywood when the actors were in pain, like when he filmed "shava shava" with an upset stomach.
Khan also asked his fans on stage that they should not make him walk or bend since his knee was hurting very badly.
He again came on stage to honour veteran actor Dharmendra
for completing a golden run on celluloid.
Bollywood was floored by the warmth of the fans who had come from different parts of Canada as well as from the US to catch a glimpse of the stars.
Huge crowds were seen out the Fairmont York Hotel in Toronto for the last two days and screens and roars reached a crescendo even when a Ranveer Singh was sighted.
The Fairmont hotel is situated opposite Union Station, a main railway station and the loud screens and cheers from the fans outside the hotel drew curious onlookers and passers by to check on what`s happening.
In the evenings, police mounted on horses were deployed for bandobast. Indian delegates at the IIFA were surprised at the politeness with which the police handled the crowd and also the star gazing fans who did not cross the barricades put up by the police.
Anil Kapoor, who has become a huge star amongst non Indian fans since Slumdog Millionaire, thanked people wherever he went for making the stars feel the warmth in Canada. Arshad Warsi declared that the people have been so sweet and given the actors so much love that he wanted to come back and live here.
Australian cricketer Brett Lee who was paired in a music album with Asha Bhosale was happy to meet his idol at the awards function. "Asha ji, main tumhara hoon aur tumhara hi rahoonga", he told the ever green singing diva from the stage when he was called to give away an award.
Ontario premiere Dalton McGuinty said, "It does not matter if you grew up in Brampton or Bangalore you grew up sharing stories. Movies lift us and inspire us."
Canadian-Indian Actress Lisa Ray who has recovered from cancer made an appearance at the awards function.

feeling yo flavor!!! fya fya!!!!
An uprising and reggae lover and singer,....from the slums of Githurai 45 in the outskirts of Nairobi.
Being the oldest in a family of four brothers, Saint is an uprising reggae artist growing and living in the slums of Githurai.Greatly inspired by the neighborhood and the reality in the music, Saint has known nothing but a life of hardship in a ghetto where people live from hand to mouth and no one is assured of their tomorrow. Born on 27th July 1984, Saint found music irresistible as he used to sneak into the dance hall where his father was then a dj playing with Commando Sounds in the 80s.The love and passion for the same increased as my father had a big collection of African music and a few reggae albums by Lucky Dube and Alpha Blondy. It wasnt easy and I had to wait until I joined High School where I became a member of the school choir and took part in several music festivals in 2001, 2002 and 2003.It was through the wonderful experience that I decided to write my own music but since I could not raise the studio fee in school, I had to wait and clear my High School education first. In Aug 2004, I pioneered the foundation of a seven member group known as Inert with the following members; G, Cecile, Ephie, Sista Carol, Terry Anne and Saint Crooner {Me}, but that was short lived and did not yield much. We tried to record Thank You Lord a single I had written, in vain as members were not always available when needed. I therefore had to go solo as I had to meet my hearts desire of singing. My first single Just Friends in 2005 was inspired by an international Riddim {Silk Riddim} that I first heard on radio in April 2005. The song was then the Exodus of a journey I found myself taking as there would be no turning back no matter what. The second single Better Life followed in early 2006.Its Better Life that gave me a little publicity as it was played for a whole two years on Coro Fm by Ras Kago {I will always respect you Rasta} and also entered the Homegrown Chart on Metro Fm.The song was inspired by the state of poverty that keeps blocking my way to prosperity and the suffering my people find themselves going through, .I have always felt that things will get better one day. Recording for the fist time at Point 45 Records, I had to pay my studio fee in installments as no one could support me in any way, but its been good because through that I have learned a lot. I keep hoping for the best and through the ups and downs I know that Jah will never let me down. Since then, I have recorded several singles including Streets, Live On, True Love, Bad Girl, Its You, My Prayer, Touch Meft Sophie, Tell Me Why and Election Wars, for Jah has been faithful. I am not from a rich family and only a peanut vendor on the Streets and thats how I manage to earn my little cash and save it for months to record my music. I strongly believe I will make it somewhere someday I have to Live On say My Prayer meet Bad Girl and overcome all. Through the pains and sorrows there will be the light at the end of the tunnel. May Jah bless you for taking some time on my page. One Love.

The Determinants of Board Composition
We identify factors that lead to changes among corporate directors. We hypothesize that the CEO succession process and firm performance will affect board composition. Our findings are consistent with both hypotheses. When their CEO nears retirement, firms tend to add inside directors (who may be possible candidates to be the next CEO) Just after a CEO change, inside directors with short tenures appear more likely to leave the board (they, perhaps, being the losing candidates). We also find that inside directors are more likely to leave the board and outside directors more likely to join after a firm performs poorly and when a firm leaves a product market.Download Info

Happiness Is Quilting
According to the Dallas Morning News, sewing and handwork gave Laura Kay Houser's life "balance"—guiding the stay-at-home mother through life's daily challenges as well as more trying ones, namely her son's illness. In 2006, Houser and two partners turned that restorative hobby into a business venture. Houser now spends most of her days behind the counter, eyes figuratively glued on her latest project.
Inside the colorful shop, shelves overflow with fabrics by brands such as Andover, Benartex, and Marcus Brothers, as well as with books, kits, and experimental needlework patterns inspired by the paintings of Jackson Pollock. Experienced teachers pop in to lead a variety of classes, ranging from sewing basics to workshops with renowned authors and designers. As the culture of quilting has always involved gifting quilts to those in need, the store publicizes volunteer opportunities involving quilting and other crafts.

ne of my local stores has this receiver (listed as Open Box) for $159.00:
Denon 875W 7.1Ch, 3D Pass Through A/V Home Theater Receiver Originally priced at $550.00 Last edited by omatthew1; 11-01-2012 at 05:45 AM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
My Pioneer receiver crapped out last week and I thought this deal would be my salvation... but no receivers available in any Central Ohio BBs. Oh well. I guess I'll just continue to listen through my TV speakers (shudder) until Black Friday.
"Instead of browsing the titles you don't have, browse the ones you do have but haven't played yet. That feeling of seeing them cheaper than what you paid months ago should stop you from buying more games." -sd'er Votey
Prices aren't quite there yet for me. Though the one fella that mentioned 1612's at $99... that's very nice. There must be no flippers in your area.
1712 @ $200 is not scorching hot in terms of historical prices but it is a very solid deal as that unit has Audyssey XT, a feature which is virtually non-existent in that price range. It gives up the networking stuff in exchange. So if you are not a networking guy (media server, Pandora, etc.) it is a great box. Most people shopping midrange AVR's likely have another item that will handle those tasks better anyways. I consider Denon and Marantz slightly tweaked flavors of the same boxes, though the Denons are generally less expensive apples to apples due to sheer volume. Marantz does have a unique option in the slim line AVR's which I really like as they'll work where other boxes won't. I have on in the bedroom where it is not quite as obnoxious as a full size box. But I don't think you will find those outside of Magnolia stores, and I have never seen them last long enough to make it to a good clearance price. The high end Yamahas are also overall wonderful boxes but YPAO does not do a good job with sub calibration / room correction. It's a glaring, terrible flaw in an otherwise near perfect series of kit. If you are not picky about sub calibration or have other tools to calibrate your sub to your room correctly, there is very little to complain about with those boxes. Imho a 3010 w/ Audyssey XT or better would be a near perfect box. But as it is they need to update YPAO. If I were shopping for a new AVR I'd be waiting for later clearance rounds or negotiating on open boxes targeting about ~30-40% off the OP prices to start. They are all certainly decent deals but AVR's go on clearance like this every year. I prefer to wait for smoking deals. Last edited by FranksAndBeans; 11-01-2012 at 06:09 AM.. |
Each time I go to my store (once every 1-2 weeks) I always go to the receiver section and look for clearance receivers. If there is an employee I always ask if they have any. NOT ONCE has there been a single receiver on clearance. They've had a few open box non-clearance receivers with prices so high it was a joke, but that's it. So, these deals have been a total waste of time for me, and I'm getting near the point where I'm going to stop looking and just ignore these threads because they are so YMMV. It's not the OP's fault. I must live near sucky stores because they never have all of the wonderful clearance stuff that other people find in these threads. Due to the total lack of any clearance deals, I finally had to break down and buy a new Sony STR-DH520 for $167. Once my return period expires in another week and I'm stuck with the Sony, then maybe there will be a flood of better clearance receivers in my area to make me feel bad, but so far zip zero nada for 6+ months looking for a receiver. |
thanks for posting.. thought I got lucky by adding the Denon receiver for $99 at my local BBY until I tried to complete checkout, out of stock.
again thanks! these deals like this are like hit or miss and I appreciate the heads up.. sometimes I win.. sometimes I don't get the item because it is sold out. |
Yah, these deals are going to be very store dependent. I have four Best Buys that are within a few miles of where I regularly drive and out of them one store never has anything, two very rarely do, and one has been a real gold mine for open box / clearances. And these stores are all within a ~30 mile zone of each other so it is not just the area. In general the only trend I see is that the bigger volume based stores are better.
I also think you need to get off your butt and go in-store to get the really good deals. The one-offs or open boxes that are not listed on the website are the ones you are going to get a really good deal on. Good price on the web won't last. I understand the frustration though, feel the same way about all the target clearance deals that get posted. I've never once seen anything even remotely close to the target deals at my local target. |
Thanks for posting. I got the $99 Denon. Everything went through. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled.
Update: Appears the naysayers (no disrespect intended) were entirely correct. I just got refund from Best Buy email. No $99 Denon for me. Last edited by edso; 11-01-2012 at 10:23 AM.. |
It's very store dependent. I checked about 15-20 stores yesterday in order to find the receiver I wanted. I did manage to snag it (Yamaha) brand new in box.
Keep in mind that the prices might be low enough to flip, but if you need/want a decent receiver, these are pretty decent prices. |
What's the chance on some of this stuff being Open Box, display models? I'm asking for a reseller I know. |

Recently, I attended the annual Groundhog Day Economic Forecast, and the keynote speaker with our Indiana Secretary of Commerce, Victor Smith. During his speech, one of the important items he touched on was "hunters."
When you think of hunters you may think of duck, turkey and deer season. Mr. Smith actually defines hunters as a group of individuals who are proactively seeking economic development for a specific area or region. As you may know, the Wabash Valley is our region, comprised of the following counties: Clay, Parke, Putnam, Sullivan Vermillion and Vigo.
A few years ago, Accelerate West Central was organized and is made up of economic development agencies throughout the Wabash Valley. Each county in the region is represented and has a voice on this panel. The main purpose of Accelerate West Central is to identify and attract companies to locate to the Wabash Valley.
You may be wondering why I am mentioning this and what this has to do with development in our area. The answer is simple: It is the job of economic development corporations, EDC's, as well as redevelopment commissions to recruit and market our region to companies who want to expand operations.
It is bringing in viable jobs with a solid foundation that will provide ample wages that will permit our region to develop and grow. Through growth and development the tax base increases and thereby provides improvements in a number of items such as our roads.
Every area needs a hunter, and we have a wonderful group of individuals proactively marketing the Wabash Valley/West Central region to companies from Japan and California to New York and right here in Indiana.
In addition, as Accelerate West Central markets the benefits of the Wabash Valley, there are several items companies and site selectors look for. Although I cannot possibly address all of them, I have listed a few below and why it is important to maintain these services in our area.
Keep your eyes on the road
Highway accessibility has increased in importance, as supply-chain management has become more sophisticated. To effectively compete, distribution companies have had to become skilled at reducing product transit times.
Location to markets
How easily can a company reach residents in the area to attract and retain a workforce? How quickly can a company have access to other metropolitan areas such as Chicago, Louisville and St. Louis? Freight is transported out of these cities, and accessibility will decrease the transit times and transportation costs.
General market penetration is usually how many of the US residents can receive products within 24 hours; this increases the company's market share.
• Highways: What highways and Interstates are nearby and easily accessible? Again, this goes to how accessible your workforce is and impacts transportation costs and transits times.
• Commuter bus service: intercity and Interstate.
• Airports: How many are located within a specified radius and how many are commercial as well as freight?
n Railroads: What lines from each city or town, and where do they run to? For example, many of our lines locally run to Chicago.
Who are your utility providers? Often incentives can be provided to large companies locating in an area in exchange for jobs and other impact the company may have on a community.
• Water, electric, gas and sewage.
As you can tell, it is important to have a voice advocating for economic development, especially in the Wabash Valley. It is how development sites such as Vermillion Rise Mega Park will grow and provide substantial new jobs and industry to our community.

Hollywood stars often get flack for their extravagant lifestyles, and sometimes they seem to be far removed from the rest of us. Not so for all celebrities, though—a surprising number of stars have taken on the big responsibility of serving in the United States Armed Forces. We know them as actors, athletes, musicians, and comedians, but these brave individuals have actually put their lives on the line for their country. Here's a look at celebrity enlistees.
From the early days of film, directors have transported audiences from darkened movie theaters to memorable worlds of their own creations. Their artistic visions and technical innovations have made a lasting impression on cinema from early silent films, starring and directed by Charlie Chaplin, to the psychological thrillers of Alfred Hitchcock to the blockbuster hits of Steven Spielberg and so many more. Here is a look at the famous film directors who have made their mark on the big screen.

I was left alone on the veranda with a Chinese neighbor who said in a low voice, Just why are you here in this rough-living country? He expected me to smirk in a manner that would show him I was in the opium business too, in secret. But I looked at him earnestly and answered, For the love of One who loves you. And then I told him of Christ. He said nothing, but backed away with amazement and awe on his face.
Isobel Kuhn
I have seen, at different times, the smoke of a thousand villages --- villages whose people are without Christ, without God, and without hope in the world.
Robert Moffat
If every Christian is already considered a missionary, then all can stay put where they are, and nobody needs to get up and go anywhere to preach the gospel. But if our only concern is to witness where we are, how will people in unevangelized areas ever hear the gospel? The present uneven distribution of Christians and opportunities to hear the gospel of Christ will continue on unchanged.
C. Gordon Olson
Christ took our sins and the sins of the whole world as well as the Father's wrath on his shoulders, and he has drowned them both in himself so that we are thereby reconciled to God and become completely righteous.
Martin Luther
If there be ground for you to trust in your own righteousness, then, all that Christ did to purchase salvation, and all that God did to prepare the way for it is in vain.
Jonathan Edwards
Look at Christ, my dear friend: His life was divine through and through, full of self-denial, and He did everything for mankind, finding His satisfaction and His delight in the dissolution of His material being.
Mikhail Bakunin
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; / Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; / With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: / Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus
I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history.
H.G. Wells
Water, water, everywhere, And all the boards did shrink; Water, water, everywhere, Nor any drop to drink. The very deep did rot: O Christ! That ever this should be! Yes, slimy things did crawl with legs Upon the slimy sea
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Interestingly, if you ask three people what it means to be Christian, you will get three different answers. Some feel being baptized is sufficient. Others feel you must accept the Bible as absolute historical fact. Still others require a belief that all those who do not accept Christ as their personal savior are doomed to hell. Faith is a continuum, and we each fall on that line where we may. By attempting to rigidly classify ethereal concepts like faith, we end up debating semantics to the point where we entirely miss the obvious that is, that we are all trying to decipher life's big mysteries, and we're each following our own paths of enlightenment. I consider myself a student of many religions. The more I learn, the more questions I have. For me, the spiritual quest will be a life-long work in progress.
Dan Brown
O Balder, he who fashiond us, And bade us live and move, Shall weave for Deaths sad heavenly hair Immortal flowers of love. Ah! never faild my servant Death, Wheneer I named his name, But at my bidding he hath flown As swift as frost or flame. Yea, as a sleuth-hound tracks a man, And finds his form, and springs, So hath he hunted down the gods As well as human things! Yet only thro the strength of Death A god shall fall or rise A thousand lie on the cold snows, Stone still, with marble eyes. But whosoeer shall conquer Death, Tho mortal man he be, Shall in his season rise again, And live, with thee, and me! And whosoeer loves mortals most Shall conquer Death the best, Yea, whosoeer grows beautiful Shall grow divinely blest. The white Christ raised his shining face To that still brightning sky. Only the beautiful shall abide, Only the base shall die!
Robert Williams Buchanan
Along the melting shores of earth An emerald flame there ran, Forest and field grew bright, and mirth Gladdened the flocks of man. Then glory grew on earth and heaven, Full glory of full day! Then the bright rainbow's colours seven On every iceberg lay! In Balder's hand Christ placed His own, And it was golden weather, And on that berg as on a throne The Brethren stood together! And countless voices far and wide Sang sweet beneath the sky "All that is beautiful shall abide, All that is base shall die.".
Robert Williams Buchanan
If, then, the Greeks or others say that they were not committed to the care of Peter and his successors, they necessarily confess that they are not of the sheep of Christ; for the Lord says, in John, that there is one fold, one shepherd, and one only.
Pope Boniface VIII
God honors some with great suffering and grants them the grace of martyrdom, while other are not tempted beyond their strength. But in every case it is one cross. It is laid on every Christian. The first Christ-suffering that everyone has to experience is the call which summons us away from our attachments to this world. It is the death of the old self in the encounter with Jesus Christ. Those who enter into discipleship enter into Jesus' death.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Costly grace is the gospel which must be sought again and again, the gift which must be asked for, the door at which a man must knock. Such grace is costly because it calls us to follow, and it is grace because it calls us to follow Jesus Christ. It is costly because it costs a man his life, and it is grace because it gives a man the only true life. It is costly because it condemns sin, and grace because it justifies the sinner.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God did not reckon his Son too dear a price to pay for our life, but delivered him up for us. Costly grace is the Incarnation of God. Costly grace is the sanctuary of God; it has to be protected from the world, and not thrown to the dogs. It is therefore the living word, the Word of God, which he speaks as it pleases him. Grace is costly because it compels a man to submit to the yoke of Christ and follow him; it is grace because Jesus says: "My yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The activity will prove to be "peculiar" by leading the active person into Christ's own passion. This activity itself is perpetual suffering and enduring. In it, Christ is suffered by his disciple. If this is not the case, it is not the activity Jesus intended. In this way, the "extraordinary" is the fulfilling of the law, the keeping of the commandments.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
What is meant by believing in Christ but just going with trusting and loving hearts, and committing to His love and power ourselves, our souls, and all that concerns us for time and eternity?
Andrew Kennedy Hutchison Boyd
Apart from the positive woes of perdition, an eternity of wretchedness grows from the want of love to Christ as naturally as the oak grows from the acorn, or the harvest from the scattered grain. It is not that love to Christ merits heaven; it does far better, it makes heaven. It is, as it were, the organ of sensation that takes note of heaven's blessedness.
Andrew Kennedy Hutchison Boyd
And, O! there lives within my heart A hope long nursed by me, (And should its cheering ray depart How dark my soul would be) That as in Adam all have died In Christ shall all men live And ever round his throne abide Eternal praise to give; That even the wicked shall at last Be fitted for the skies And when their dreadful doom is past To life and light arise.

YouTube Just announced on the official YouTube Partners and Creators Blog (yeah, first time I've heard it too) that they're adjusting their search algorithm to reward more engaging videos. What this mean is: the longer people watch your video, the better you can expect that video to rank in YouTube's search engine.
I'm surprised they didn't do this years ago and if you had asked me I would have told you – "If the time spent watching a video isn't a ranking factor now, it will be in the future".
You see, YouTube is owned by Google. In order to understand YouTube's search engine, you need to understand Google's.
Google uses human behavior determine their rankings which include but certainly aren't limited to -
• Editorial backlinks
• The number of times searchers quickly click the back button (this was demonstrated by a negative seo a couple of years ago)
• On-page relevance to the query
By knowing things like this, we can pretty easily figure out what kinds of things Google would use to rank videos in YouTube's search engine.
• The number of editorial backlinks the video page has.
• The number of times the video has been found embedded throughout the web.
• How much Pagerank the sites that imbedded it and/or linked to it have.
• The number of times the share button has been clicked from unique IPs and/or logged in YouTube users.
• On-page relevance to the query (title and description).
• And now, the amount of time users spent watching the video (likely the average time compared to the other videos that are relevant to the query).
Are these all of YouTube's ranking factors? Probably not but they are the one's I wanted to highlight – and If any of them aren't ranking factors now, they very likely will be in the future.
