CSX's bumpy crossing still on repair listJune 21, 2013A rough railroad crossing at the western end of the Washington Street Bridge is slated to be replaced later this summer, which is welcome news for drivers who have been calling for the repairs for...... rockerYes fix the dang crossings!!! Oneill you are hilarious. You say, "His partisan bias is showing (again)." Really???? lol. Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » oneillCSX gains whatever economic benefit there is from running its trains through Marietta, so it stands to reason they should bear most of the expense for repairs ... At one time (from the 1840s until about the 1870s) Harmar was a separate community. It's not so anymore! Someone should tell Contrarian that it's different today. His partisan bias is showing (again). Perhaps he might consider running for office if he thinks he could do it better. All he seems to do is complain that the corporate interests are being "picked on". Sounds like some of the Congressional naysayers who never offer any positive solutions to the nation's infrastructure decay. They only want to tear things down with no regard for what the public needs or wants! 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » DevilsAdvocateSo if I understand this correctly.. CSX is responsible for the repair/replacement. The state accepts a wooden tie crossing w/ steel plate as acceptable. CSX has no problem paying for what the state says is acceptable. If a community wants more than 'acceptable', it only seems to reason, that entity should pay the difference. It is an upgrade, period... Everyone knows that when they upgrade anything, it costs more money. With that said, I believe CSX has been way too negligent in this matter & the crossing in Belpre. I think it should be a matter that the two communities look into together. It is a fact that every person's vehicle suffers something when crossing tracks like the one in Marietta, & those in Belpre. Maybe as a good corporate community gesture for 'pain & suffering', CSX could foot the bill for the uprgrade in Marietta & at the Belpre locations. 7 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BigNapperThe safety service director could set the speed limit of the trains traveling in the city limits to 4 mph the result in slower speed equal less damage set up radar to enforce the limit maybe the speed limit should be set to the speed at which their tracks can be crossed with out bouncing or thumping or bottoming out, if the RR doesn't want to repair their tracks crossings and the city should not pay one red cent for these repairs. 4 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » jacsm1217About time, this is a very busy crossing and should be kept in tip top condition at all times. 7 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Photog459The railroad crossing in Belpre at Clement and Pomeroy Pike is in worse condition than that crossing and it hasn't been touched in at least 4 years. Some of the railroad ties have actually rotted away leaving very large gaps. 3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » ContrarianTo hear City Councilmen asking questions, like Noland, is laughable. He lives on the West Side, and like his fellow members, knows the history here. They do nothing to work with CSX; they just prefer to do nothing and complain about things. Step up to the plate and find a solution! Show some leadership!Your screaming is merely drowned out by the train whistles! 3 Agrees | 5 Disagrees | Report Abuse » TessieThis is a little confusing to me. In the article it says, "CSX owns the right-of-way for the crossing and is planning to fix the crossing this year". From what I understand, Washington St. ends at the bridge and from there it is called State Route 7. So I'm not certain that the City of Marietta has a responsibility to pay anything for this crossing. Shouldn't it be up to CSX to replace or repair the crossing meeting state guidelines? 5 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 8 of 8 comments

Ally seen retiring preferred shares on path to IPOBy Bloomberg News
Related links
Ally Financial Inc. is likely to focus on redeeming preferred shares held by the U.S. Treasury as it prepares for an initial public offering after settling claims related to its bankrupt mortgage unit. Ally, the former financing arm of General Motors Co., would have to pay about $5.9 billion to redeem the 9 percent securities, according to a May 3 report by Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, at a time its $1.75 billion of senior unsecured bonds due September 2020 yield 4.3 percent. The Detroit-based lender agreed Thursday to pay $2.1 billion to avoid suits related to subprime mortgages at its Residential Capital LLC unit. While the treasury also owns 73.8 percent of its common stock, retiring the convertible preferred shares would improve Ally's profitability and forestall a rise in the size of the government's stake. CEO Michael Carpenter has sold $11.2 billion of assets since the end of 2010 as the company seeks an IPO. "Preferred holders will probably see their debt taken out sooner," following the settlement with major creditors, Jody Lurie, a Philadelphia-based corporate credit analyst at Janney said in a telephone interview. "When you have the treasury looking over your shoulder, you can't really do what you want." Treasury consentGina Proia, an Ally spokeswoman, declined to comment on the company's plans, writing in an e-mail that the "resolution of the mortgage issues is a very positive step." Ally, which has $25.6 billion of bonds, can redeem the preferred securities with consent from the treasury or in the event the Federal Reserve compels a conversion, according to a May 1 regulatory filing. A redemption would double Ally's repayment to the Troubled Asset Relief Program to 70 percent, Jeffrey Brown, vice president of finance and corporate planning, said on a May 1 conference call to discuss first-quarter earnings with analysts and investors. The auto lender had a capital plan rejected in March by the Fed after regulators found "deficiencies" in its planning process and capital ratios that didn't meet standards. The Fed, which doesn't count the preferred securities as capital, could convert the shares into Tier 1 common equity at its own discretion. 'Fundamentally flawed'Ally had a capital ratio of 1.5 percent, the lowest measure of financial strength among the 18 largest U.S. banks tested. The company disputed the measurement, calling the analysis "inconsistent with historical experience" and "fundamentally flawed," according to a March 7 statement. "The world knows we want to address" the preferred securities, Brown said on the May 1 call. "That is the next natural evolution in capital normalization at the company. We don't like the 9 percent dividend, and we especially don't like capital the regulator doesn't count." Before an IPO, Ally must resubmit its annual capital plan to the Fed and show how it will improve the planning process and increase its buffer against losses. The company filed to go public in 2011 before putting the idea on hold until ResCap's fate was clear. Topics in this article:

Houston rookie White's path taking another detour
Thursday - 3/21/2013, 1:48pm  ET
HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston rookie Royce White is saying on Twitter that he's returning to Houston at the advice of a team doctor, and his time with the Rockets' developmental league team in the Rio Grande Valley may be over.
Houston's first-round pick said Thursday morning: "Have been advised by our team physician it is most logical I be in Houston the remainder of the season. Thank you (at)rgvvipers for having me."
A spokesman for the Rockets says White, whose acknowledged anxiety disorder has kept him from playing for Houston this season, is still on the Rio Grande Valley Vipers roster. He says the team will have no further comment.

Answer Man?
Hello All! Another hard-to-watch Twins game last night against the Tigers! Uggh! Well, answering a few questions the last few days has caused more and more questions and I certainly don't mind answering them. So thank you to all of you have sent in questions. With as much as I have been gone of late, and as much as I am struggling right now for topics and energy, it has really helped me. Thank you! And of course you can continue to send me your questions.
A quick programming note... I don't know how many readers here live in the Bismarck, North Dakota area, but this morning at 11:00 a.m., I will be on Bismarck's ESPN radio station (am 710) with Jack Michaels to talk Twins. I look forward to the time and who knows, maybe it could become some sort of regular appearance. So, if you have a chance, be sure to check that out. I understand that FSN's Marney Gellner makes a weekly appearance as well.
I haven't posted a Q&A for awhile now, which is unfortunate. I need to start working on that again. But the fine folks over at Twins Territory were able to run a Q&A with Denard Span this week.
John Sharkey over at Gameday posted a really incredible article on the Nick Punto Playing Time situation. It truly represents how I feel about Nick Punto playing so much. Obviously he writes far more eloquently than I, but he makes a great point. I guess if I were to summarize my thoughts on the Punto situation it would be that I can't be upset at Punto for not playing well. Remember when we were all upset at Jacque Jones for his inability to hit left-handed pitching? Eventually that disappointment was no longer in Jones for not hitting lefties, but instead it was directed at Gardy for continuing to put him in a situation where he could not really succeed. The Punto situation is nearly the same. I'm no longer disappointed in Punto (which isn't hard because this is the production I would have expected) but in Gardy for continuing to play him.
OK, I'm as big a Jason Kubel supporter as there is and I fully believe that he will be an All-Star in his career. I also realize he came into the game as an injury replacement for Torii Hunter. But in the Bottom of the 5th inning, after Justin Morneau was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score the Twins first run, Kubel made his first appearance in more than three games. I know that's not an easy situation, but HOLY CRAP... Swing the bat. I know it's lefty-lefty, but three fastballs right down the middle have to be tough to watch! Maybe not! Watch them trade Kubel now because he's in Gardy's doghouse. I can see it now.
So, will Kubel play this afternoon, or is he so far in the doghouse that he won't even play against a right-handed starter? Seriously, I can understand Gardy deciding to use Mike Redmond as a pinch hitter for Kubel in the 7th against a lefty. However, the at bat was against Bobby Seay, not Andrew Miller. I guarantee Kubel would have had a better at bat. And, using Redmond put the team in a tough spot should anything happen to Mauer. I probably would have left Kubel in there.
Gardy was definitely sending a message to the Twins and their fans that last night's game was very important. He was over-managing (in part due to injuries to Torii Hunter and Mike Redmond). He left Santana in an extra inning which meant that he threw 118 pitches. That might seem good to do, and it may not end up hurting anything. But remember a year ago, the Twins left Francisco Liriano in a couple of games an extra inning JUST TO GET HIM A WIN, and what happened? I appreciate Gardy looking out for his players (at least the favorites) and trying to help them statistically. But part of a manager's job is to do more than win today, it's to win over 162 games. As big as many people want to make these Tigers games, and they are important, they are still just individual games.
Yesterday, I surprised a lot of people by daring to question Joe Mauer. In the ninth inning the night before, he watched a 2-0 90 mph fastball right down the middle for a called strike. Basically I thought that situation called for a big swing. Whether he hit a home run, I would like a middle of the lineup guy to take a shot and be a little more aggressive. Normally, I love Mauer's patient approach at the plate, but there are certain times where you would just really like him to be a little more aggressive. You don't want him to bunt when there are runners in scoring position. You want him to wait for a good pitch and drive the ball as he does. Mauer is a very smart hitter. He goes to the plate with a plan. He generally understands situations and what to do. For instance, in the 6th inning of last night's game, he laid down a bunt for a single. In that case, the bunt was perfect. A left-hander was on the mound and Brandon Inge was playing deep. The Twins needed to get something going and needed someone on base. In most cases, Mauer's on-base percentage and patience is a positive. Sometimes, as a good teammate, you have to trust your teammates. He has to believe that Michael Cuddyer will come through, and if he doesn't maybe Justin Morneau or Torii Hunter will. So again, to summarize, I was critical of Mauer's approach in that one at bat. In general, I think his approach is the way that should be modeled by kids!
That was a long, long game!
Alright, let's get to some more questions:
From "Anonymous"
Which relievers at AAA or AA (besides Cali) have a chance to move up to the Twins next year, like Neshek and Crain did? Any closers in the minors that have a chance to replace Nathan or is Neshek the closer in waiting?
Do you think they'll sign Nathan?
First of all, I believe that the Twins next closer will be Pat Neshek. So, I'll get that out of the way right away. Nathan has been as good as any closer the past three years, but paying a guy who will maybe throw 70 innings in a season $12 million a year is more than ridiculous. And, Neshek is the Twins top reliever right now. He has a lot of minor league closer experience. By the start of next season, he will have a year and a half of grooming in the big leagues under his belt. He's ready now, but all of what he is doing now is only making him more prepared.
So, to the rest of the question. Are there any relievers at AAA or AA who could be a closer for the Twins? My current opinion is no. Rochester's closer is Bobby Korecky who came to the Twins with Carlos Silva and Nick Punto in the Eric Milton trade. I think he can be a decent middle reliever for the Twins in a year, but I don't think he will be a closer. The Twins seem quite high on Ricky Barrett, and I'm not sure why because he seems to constantly be hurt. He is left-handed. Jay Sawatski is another lefty reliever who just moved up to Rochester. He was an 8th round pick of the Twins in 2004. He is one that I believe will pitch for the Twins, but likely in a LOOGY type role. And Julio DePaula didn't show much in his brief time with the Twins earlier in the season, but I believe he will be back in the next year and be able to contribute.
At AA, there really isn't a designated closer. Tim Lahey is a guy to watch though. He was drafted as a catcher out of Princeton. He was converted to a pitcher because he has a great arm. He may take a little bit of time to progress, but he is doing well for the Rockcats. Jose Mijares is already on the Twins 40 man roster. He's a big lefty who throws hard and has good stuff. He has done well at AA too, picking up some saves even. In his brief time with Rochester, he struggled some, but I think he could help the Twins at some point too. Danny Powers was an 8th round pick in 2005 who has struggled some in 2007 but had a nice year in 2006.
The main 'closer' type in the minors that I like is Eduardo Morlan. He was the Twins 3rd round pick in 2004. He is now the closer for Ft. Myers. He may have the best stuff of any of those great 2004 high school pitcher picks, and he ranks as my #5 Twins prospect. He wants to be a reliever. He has the pitches to be a closer. He will likely continue to be groomed in the closer's role as he moves up the system. I think that he will be used in the Twins bullpen by opening day of 2010, and depending on Neshek's status at the point, he could be closing a year or two later.
From Aaron Kalina
So what are your thoughts on the E-Town Twins? Is it just the level of play that allows them to just pound their opponents, or is there a special collection of players that could dominate minor league baseball for the next 4-5 years like the Mientkiewicz, Koskie, Pierzinski group in a few years back? And, who are the guys you think are worth getting excited about?
The Twins send their college draft picks from this year to Elizabethton. Although many of them would likely do well at Beloit, it gives them the summer to adjust to life on the road, getting paid, the wood bat, the organization and so much more. So, they are likely ahead of the competition. They also have players from around the world who have been playing pro ball (in the Dominican or Venezuelan Summer League, or in the GCL) for two to four years. I think that can be an advantage over several of the teams in the league that send some high school draft picks and younger players. Elizabethton and Danville are really the two teams in the league that are always in the championship series (OK, at least they have been the last two years). There are several players on the roster that I think should be getting the attention. Deibinson Romero was the one member of the team that showed up on my Top 50 list the last two installments. The 3B has a lot of potential. Rene Leveret appears to have a lot of power and an overall ability to hit. Rene Tosoni and Ozzie Lewis have also been impressive so far. Michael Allen and Derek Bromberg are two pitchers that I believe have a chance. Certainly with the team the offense gets a lot of the glory, especially when the scored double-digit points so many times early in the year. Brad Tippett is a reliever from Australia who did a nice job last year for the GCL Twins and this year has started out well for the E-Twins.
This year's early round picks came from the high school ranks so the likes of Ben Revere, Danny Rams and Angel Morales (their top three picks) begin their career in the GCL. It will be interesting to see if all three will start the 2008 season in Beloit (as Chris Parmalee and Joe Benson did this year, Drew Thompson and Paul Kelly did the year before, etc.). So, the E-Twins don't necessarily have a lot of the big name prospects at this time. That does not mean that the E-Twins roster is not full of big prospects. I will just begin to get more excited about them when they show success with a full season team like Beloit.
One more from Aaron Kalina
Speaking of getting excited, is it wrong that Trevor Plouffe is becoming my guy right now in the system? His bat has slowly gotten better every year, and he's had a pretty successful stint at New Britain, but how would you project him from here? You've touched on that in your prospect rankings, but I'm curious how you would really analyze his Twins future.
I don't think it is bad at all for Twins fans to start being excited about Trevor Plouffe. After starting the last two years really poorly and then having solid second halves to seasons, his numbers at the end of the year never looked real good. He was committing a lot of errors. Yet the Twins just continued to push him up a level, knowing that he was no more than two years younger than much of the competition he was playing against. Well, this year at AA New Britain, Plouffe was able to get off to a very good start for the Rockcats. He had a strong April when he hit .310. He struggled a little in May (.231), but in June he was again very good (.325). Right now, he is hitting .283/.332/.428 for the season. He has always shown good plate discipline in terms of walks. In the past, I couldn't help but wonder if he was showing too much patience and hence putting himself in poor pitch counts. Now the numbers that really have me excited about the future of Trevor Plouffe. 25 doubles, two triples and seven home runs. 34 extra base hits in 346 at bats. That is exciting to me because the Twins need all the pop in the lineup that they can get. Defensively, he is known for having very good range, soft hands and a strong arm. He was quite the pitcher in high school and many teams were scouting him as a pitcher.
In terms of Plouffe's future with the team, I think it is now quite bright. Obviously he must continue to improve both offensively and defensively. My assumption is that the Twins would like him to spend 2008 at AAA Rochester. If that is the case, he could be in line for a late season call up next year. I think that Jason Bartlett is safe for 2007 and likely for 2008. But he will have to continue to improve to hold off Plouffe. If Bartlett makes himself into an All-Star, well then maybe Plouffe becomes a potential 3B of the future. If Plouffe hits like he can, he will be with the Twins for a long time. They will find a place for him even if Bartlett plays well enough to stay at SS.
From Marshall
What will Matt Garza's status be for 2008 if he stays in the majors for the rest of this season, will we gain an extra arbitration year from keeping him in the minors until the all-star break?
Well, his status for 2008 will be non-rookie. He will make about $425,000. But your more important question regards his arbitration status. Was keeping him in AAA until the all-star break enough to keep him from being arbitration-eligible for an extra year. Was he held back long enough so as not to be a "Super-2." Super 2's are determined after the season and are based entirely on the number of days that they spent on the major league roster. At that time, (I believe) the top 17% of players with more than two years of big league time and less than three years of big league time, will be eligible for arbitration. In all honesty, I don't know what to think. If he hadn't been up last August, I would say that he wouldn't be eligible until 2011. But it is possible that he will be after the 2010 season
So there you have it. My answers to a few more of your questions. I would like for people to always feel free to write me questions and if they are good, I may use them on the site. So please e-mail me questions you have regarding the Twins, their minor league teams, their prospects, blogging or anything. Again, please let me know if it is OK for me to use your name on the site.

330ML bottle with no date, poured into my Troegs mug...
A - Dark muddy brownish/black color with a perfect one finger head and nice tan head. A sticky lace holds throughout consumption
S - Caramel and malts are predominant for me. Very good aroma that makes you crave it
T - Dark fruits, caramel, toffee, butterscotch and with a malty backbone. Absolutely perfect for the style
M - Smooth, medium body with a low carbonation. Ultra smooth finish
O - Doppelbocks aren't usually my thing but there's no way you can't appreciate how great this beer is. The 6.7% masks amazingly well. I could crush this beer so easily. The unique flavors meld perfectly together. This is absolutely world class and I'm kicking myself for continually passing it up time after time

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
330ml bottle poured into the Libbey Craft Pub glass (like a pils glass but with a slight inward taper at the top).
A: This exciting ale poured a luscious dark brown like the color of beef stock or chestnuts. the head is a toasty tan, rocky and vibrant at about 2 fingers with medium retention. Full lace; the foam climbs up the glass.
S: Oh boy oh boy. Malty malt. Caramel. Figs. Prunes. Dates. Quite intense. All malt body. No hop. A little spicy fermentation.
T: Oh man. It's full of dark dried fruit, and then the malt backbone reveals itself: All toasty, roasty malt. Finishes with a slight bitterness from the roast. This is clearly an ode to rich malt as the West Coast IPA is to the hop.
M: Despite it richness, it feels bright and clean at first, but then coalesces into a sticky, but not unpleasant, tenacious syrup. Medium-heavy body with playful carbonation.
O: This beer is sensational. Not only the best bock I've had, but one of the best beers. Damn. I'd definitely pair this with roast game or roast pork with some spice. This is definitely an appropriate beer for roaring fires and red meat off the bone!

Keeping the Faith
We need a spiritual renaissance

W. Ann Reynolds once said, "Anyone who says you cannot see a thought simply doesn't know art."
For those creative persons who have ever held a brush, camera, pencil, or script in their hand, they know this to be true. Poets, painters, writers, teachers, performers, filmmakers, and communicators of all kind have this unquenchable desire -- a calling really -- to report back to others their observations, thoughts, and ideas. They just can't stop themselves from doing this.
Like an artesian well, what is on the inside of their hearts and souls comes boiling out, splattering on the canvas and the page, and dancing across the stage or the screen. It is an inescapable burn that must be shared with others that they too will be enlightened and warmed by the artist's own discovery. The prophet Jeremiah might have called this a "fire in the bones."
So the skillful artist is not necessarily the one with the best thoughts or ideas, the biggest public platform, or the one who is a mass of pure talent. It is the one who can communicate his or her ideas to others. It is the one who can translate what is within -- the glory and the madness -- for others to see, hear, and experience for themselves.
We people of faith need more artists in our number. Oh, and I don't mean the cheese-makers that fill up the shelves of the local Christian bookstores.
The parade of greeting cards, neckties, stationary, wind chimes, monograms, T-shirts, necklaces, charm bracelets, wall hangings, and carvings that spew from commercial Christianity's warehouses and pass as art is stale, sappy, and downright embarrassing. Bach and Michelangelo would be ashamed.
And save us, sweet Jesus, from another Bible-verse-inscribed-sun-setting landscape portrait or one of those dauntless lighthouses paintings amidst iridescent clouds. I've had enough of that smelly limburger as well.
Instead, we need a spiritual renaissance. We need genuine artists, those who can skillfully open their souls to communicate their experience of faith. We need people in the pew and preachers from the pulpit who, though they may not be able to use a brush, make a rhyme, play a note, or write a book, they can still creatively and beautifully translate their hearts for the world to read.
See, each of us has a unique journey of faith. Each of us has a story to tell and a picture to paint. Each of us has a masterpiece of faith on the inside that could be shared with others. This is art, this is communication, and it is so badly needed today.
For while there is a lot of talking, preaching, blogging, conferencing, and shouting in the world of faith, there is not much creative communication. The artists of faith have been replaced by the legalists and the dogmatists.
By nature, dogma does not lend itself to creative expression. It is hard and unmoving. It is as closed as a padlocked gate. It refuses to allow doubt or question marks. It is dead and Spirit-less. But faith allows for the freedom to speak from what is in the soul. Faith is alive and explorative. Faith is art.
And when faith, just like art, is good, it does some-thing that pontificating, Bible-thumping, and finger-pointing can't do. It makes you want to get in on it. It motivates you to pick up the brush and give it a try for yourself. It causes you to hum along to the music or stop and look at the painting.
Yes, faith can do the same as good art, where the objective is not to coax, convert, or condemn, but to simply share the experience of your heart.
Of course the only way this will happen is brutal vulnerability. The artist, and people of faith, must take the risk of being criticized, scoffed at, and having their work -- the very bearings of the soul -- unappreciated. But how much beauty would be robbed from the world if courageous artists did not give their hearts and experiences away to others? It would be a tragedy.

Hello, Happy New Year. No $2 PQ in weekend paper today. Not even an AD in its usual section but there is a flyer with Publix Greenwise stuff. There is a Sweetbay slick circular one sheet with a $10 off $50 or more order must total $50 after all discounts are applied PLUS when you redeem this coupon your cashier will give you another $10 coupon toward your next puchase, How do you think Publix will handle this or will they? The extra $10 coupon states good thru 1/13/2013--1/19/2013 so you cannot turn around and flip it. the original sweetbay coupon $10 off $50 is good 1/6/2013--1/12/2013. HTH someone.
I have been trying to find ten minutes to sit down and post for 2 days - UGH! I went to sit down about 4pm today and there was a trail of ants a half inch wide marching across the room to the trash can under my desk - AHHHHHHH! We don't have bug issues in Georgia, but this winter has been a bear with these stupid little sugar ants. I guess they were hungry as they were having a field day on the chocolate muffin wrapper in my trash can. So I sprayed. That means 4 hours of no computer. Now I just cleaned everything up - Ewwww. I had a ton of coupons on my desk. I was trying to make sure I didn't ruin any of them with my Raid! I guess bug man will be visiting me on Monday!
So yesterday DH received an envelope in the mail. Typically I don't open his mail if it is addressed to him unless I think it is something I ordered and put in his name!! This one kinda looked like a mailed coupon. It was a plain white envelope, no return address, the address was typed. Suspicious . . . so I opened it and it was from another woman! She was ranting and raving about how I need to control my man and how I need to let him go because she loves him more than the. Well, did I have you going for a moment? I was just typing and my warped brain sent me there. Nothing like a little Saturday night humor!! Cleaner than out usual "Kitty" chat. Anyhoo, the contents of the letter was a $30 Gift Card from the Gatorade Contest. Every time I entered myself, I entered DH too. And he won. Go figure. That's OK as I confiscated the card!! I'm not even sure I am going to mention it! Tee hee!! Although DH would have loved to have went to the SEC Championship (especially since Georgia was playing in it) I am just as happy with the $30 gift card. My point is that peeps win. They really do. So here is another one from Publix. I want EVERYONE to stop and go enter right now before you forget so we can have another winner! I want to see your mug at the Super Bowl or even better telling all of us the ways you are spending your free Publix money . . . Call this number: .800-828-5230 Give them your life story. You can enter 1 time a day. Sweepstakes period ends : 1/21/13 - For Grand Prize 2/3/13 - For First Prize & Daily Prize Grand prize: 1 of 5 Trips for four to the Super Bowl First Prize: 8 Free groceries for a year prizes (52 $100 Publix gift certificates) Second Prize: 47 Daily Winners of $25 Publix Gift Cards What do you have to lose? Enter right now!!!! |
Yay, I found I had emailed myself the bestmeals coupons to another email I never use - thought I never got the december Qs - so cheap Ragu for me!
Is it just me or do the bestmeals Qs print the barcode at the bottom of the page, well outside the coupon? I guess it's their problem but I don't want to be accused of fraud. |
Searched didn't see this...there's a good deal on the Barilla veggie pasta The new YAF has the Barilla Veggie Pasta 2/$3 with an additional PQ for $1 off Barilla Veggie. In one of today's SS, there's a MQ for $1/3 Barilla Veggie (and others). Deal looks like this:
3 boxes of Barilla Veggie $4.50 minus 3 - $1 PQ = $1.50 minus 1 - $1 MQ = $0.50 for three boxes. My family really likes this one, so great deal for us. |
Free Hormel Trays at Publix.
My store has the small Hormel Deli Trays for $5.99. There is a new Target Q for $3/1 and there is a $3/1 MQ in the 11/11 SS that makes them free. Last year my store had the football shaped ones too but I have not seen those this year. Here is an old web picture from Target so you know what they look like.

Reviewing the CW Upfront: Maybe This Time, They'll Be Lucky
Just when you want to write off the CW, here comes 'Ringer'

Just when you want to write off the CW, here comes 'Ringer'
"Poehler can pretty much curse any of the dudes on the show under the table."
He joins Odd Future and Major Lazer as an Adult Swim partner.
"I'm always very sensitive to the fact that people somehow think the shows are light and airy or optimistic."
Today it's all about numbers and restrained parties. But back in the day? Par-ty!
Only five new shows for the fall, but they tested well, and CBS is already playing from a position of strength.
And 'The Good Wife' goes to Sunday.
Which 'Glee' stars went out of their way for a picture with Simon?
"And yes, we always want her to push herself toward the 'Grey's Anatomy' choice of, you know, get laid."
Including 'Apartment 23,' where James Van Der Beek makes fun of himself.
And there are some high-profile shows waiting for mid-season.
"Care deeply about your characters, so deeply that you almost delude yourself into thinking that they're real human beings and quite possibly your best friends in the world."
You just talk about 'Glee' and 'X-Factor' a lot.
"I was so naive about the business back then that when I'd watch the show and the legend at the beginning said, "Richmond, Virginia" I actually thought they sent a film unit to those places. That's how stupid I was."

Americus, like many towns of the South, experiences periods of building, three of which are represented on this tour. Antebellum cottages from c.1850 which have survived, sprinkle our town. The beginning of the last decade of the past century found Americus in a flurry of building in the flaunting Victorian manner, so much of which still exists giving Americus such a Victorian flavor. After the turn of the century was a time of copying and combining older styles, most predominately the classical style, when some of our larger homes were built.

A PROVINCE OF CULINARY SURPRISESCaviar blueberry beer and boar topped poutine
Margaret Swaine
08 MAY 2012: In the past week I've dined on local caviar and smoked sturgeon, boar topped poutine, white chocolate risotto and foie gras from a nearby farm. I've sipped blueberry beer, white wine made from Louise Swenson grapes and Chocolate River maple wine. What province could I possibly be in?

Dear Carol: My mother has had a series of strokes and lives in a good nursing home nearby. I do love her and I know she loves me, but her negative personality has been difficult over the years and our relationship has been rocky. I've never really felt that I could please her. Yesterday, as I sat with her in the nursing home, I put my arms around her and said, "I love you, Mom." She began to cry. I don't ever recall seeing her cry and I was crushed. I'd do anything to see her even a little pleased with me. Was this the wrong thing to do? Leanne

Total War: Rome 2 update adds new elephants, more Epirus units
It seems like many of Total War: Rome 2's pre-launch updates have been of the "oh no, why is everything on fire?" variety. If that fire hasn't entirely been quelled, it is at least only lightly smouldering now. Hence this latest update, which focuses on features: specifically, elephants. A new African elephant model has been introduced to complement the pre-existing Indian elephants, allowing for more geographically appropriate elephantidae placement.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. -- It's been four days since a toddler was shot and killed in his stroller on the streets of Brunswick. The scene is quiet now, but many question if there is a bigger problem there.
"We are not the small little town we used to be," said Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering.
There has been job growth, widened roads and an increase in visitors to Brunswick. But with the good, Doering says there also comes bad.
"I put my arms around my baby and he shoves me and then he shot my baby right in the head," said Sherry West.
Many are questioning whether the shooting death of her 13-month-old son Antonio Santiago was some sort of gang initiation. Pictures from Facebook show the older of the two suspects, De'Marquis Elkins, 17, making gang-like signs and wearing the color red. It's something his public defender firmly denies.
"I don't believe Marquis is the individual he's been portrayed to be," said Kevin Gough.
Doering would not comment on whether this case is gang related. But he tells me there is a growing gang problem in Glynn County.
"Not a really big peak but just a slow buildup of more activities of concern," he told Action News.
It's something a county-wide violent crime task force focuses on fighting back against. The chief says gang violence is something that he is concerned about and says it has to remain a priority.
"You want to keep a handle on it to control. It's all about keeping it under control as much as we can."
Doering tells Action News if the baby's murder is gang related there will be a gang charge.

We take pride in our agricultural heritage and invite you to join us in saying thanks to America's farmers.
The average American farmer feeds 155 people each year. Advanced conservation methods and high-tech equipment make it possible to produce over 260 percent more food, with fewer inputs than was feasible in 19501.
And yet, farmers don't always get the recognition they deserve.
So we're taking the time to say thanks to the men and women who tackle the toughest jobs in the searing heat and bitter cold to put clothes on our backs and food on our tables. They're the reason our companies were founded, and we salute them.
We invite you to visit Facebook and say thanks to a farmer in your family, community or state.
Learn more about what farmers do for you and for America by visiting your local Farm Bureau organization.

Less Than a College Credit
Directly around the corner from Primedia's booth, where CDs and t-shirts were selling like seats at a Feist concert, Aperion Audio showcased a small dorm room rig. Here's Aperion's VP of Marketing (& Sports Fanatic), John Wanderschied, looking pretty darn satisfied.
Why so chuffed?
Well, he's happy to own the new Attention Screen CD (points for product-placement!). Plus, The Intimus 632 is Aperion's top of the line mini, using a 6.5" carbon fiber woofer and a 1" silk dome tweeter. It sells for a brisk $600/pair.
These days, that's less than a college credit.

"I used this little card as an insert with the invitation. I needed to add directions (quite extensive) on one side & the other side was used for where to mail "parent tips" & "baby wishes". Customer service was outstanding on helping me do this! I highly recommend tiny prints!"
"These cards come in a beautiful sage green color with pink accents. Our shower had a bird theme so I used these as thank you notes. The paper was of heavy quality with a smooth finish-- high quality and a great choice."
"just used these as personalized thank you notes for my son. I bought them to coordinate w/ Frog Friend birth announcement. I made them more boyish by changing the font on the front. Beautiful and preppy"
"This card was perfect for my baby shower thank you notes! I really liked the quality of the paper - good, thick card stock. I also ordered the matching return address labels. I love how everything coordinates - it makes it more personalized and special."
"These are high-quality thank you cards. They arrived on-time and look so sweet. I can't wait to use them to send my appreciation for baby shower gifts. There isn't much room on the front to write, but the back has enough space. Instead of using my name at the bottom, I simply edited the card to say "Thank You." The colors are exactly as they appear. I would recommend this other customers."

Heartbreak Turtle Today: For Texas Teachers!
The Heartbreak Turtle Today produced by the Sea Turtle Restoration Project chronicles the struggle of the Kemp's ridley sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico. Their population fell to near extinction levels in 1985 and then began a slow recovery as the United States and Mexico worked together to protect nesting beaches and introduce the Turtle Excluder Device to be used on shrimp trawls. Although their recovery may be slowed by the impact of the BP oil spill in 2010, work continues to protect them at nesting beaches and in their migration and foraging routes. Copies of this remarkable DVD are available through the STRP Shop.
Texas teachers need TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills for Science) information for teaching with the documentary in order to meet Texas education guidelines for science.

Alejandro Paul's Brownstone Slab is based on his own popular, award-winning, Brownstone Sans typeface. Like the original Sans, Brownstone Slab is a 21st-century design, influenced by the Victorian decorative motifs of the ironwork and carved decorations of New York City row houses. Brownstone Slab's sturdy serifs make it slightly more masculine and solid than its predecessor. As with Brownstone Sans, Brownstone Slab includes character sets for Latin-based languages, including Western and Eastern European, Baltic, Turkish, Maltese, Celtic and Welsh. It includes over 1500 glyphs, including small capitals, swash characters, alternates, and ligatures, in both Light and Thin weights. Ornamental frames are provided in all weights.

Frontage is a charming layered type system with endless design possibilities using different combinations of fonts and colors. Achieve a realistic 3D effect by adding the shadow font or just use the capital letters of the regular and bold cut for stark artwork. The typeface's design is based on a simple grid, which creates the friendly, handcrafted look of facade signs. It is generously spaced for maximum impact of your message. As a display typeface Frontage loves color and is suitable for headlines and logotypes. Details include 224 characters in six styles and manually edited kerning.

Chad Ochocinco takes Emerson class out to dinner
Posted by Matt Pepin, Boston.com Staff
December 14, 2011 07:58 AM
Patriots receiver Chad Ochocinco fulfilled a promise he made to Emerson College's social media class and met with the class at a dinner party last night, according to a report on BostInno.com.
For comment from Ocho, we'll obviously turn to Twitter.
"Really good time at dinner with @davidgerzof and his students from @emersoncollege," Ochocinco tweeted last night.
According to Lauren Landry of BostInno, Ochocinco and his fiance, Evelyn Lozada, met the students at All Star Sandwich Bar in Cambridge.
Gerzof, who teaches the class, also commented via Twitter: "great dinner conversation with @ochocinco, but @EvelynLozada stole the show. Thank you so much again - a real "class" act you two are. #ESM"

One of the other Apple announcements of recent days is the opening of a new kind of App Store for corporate customers, allowing them access to a simple system for buying apps in bulk and distributing them among employees and devices. The Volume Purchase store was announced a couple of weeks ago, but finally went live yesterday alongside the launch of the Lion OS and various bits of new hardware. So now, if you're in charge of IT in any organization, you can sign up for a special Apple ID. It has to have a unique email address assigned to it, but you're the IT guy, right? You can set one up. Logged in with your ID, you'll see a different view of the App Store. One that lets you find apps, then say exactly how many copies of each one you want to buy. There are no discounts for bulk: If an app costs $2.99, that's what you'll pay for each and every copy. That's good news for the developers, who rely on getting their cut from every sale. And it's good news for Apple, who get a fair bit from their cut, too. Another aspect to the business store is custom B2B apps designed for selling between businesses. Companies can now commission developers to make bespoke apps, then ask their partners to download via the Volume Purchase store. It's still possible to make apps for in-house use without having to use the store, too. If you wanted proof that Apple was making serious inroads into corporate computing, this is it. It's been via iPhones, and particularly iPads, that business types have discovered Apple products they can fall in love with.By Giles Turnbull
The white MacBook, which sports a unibody polycarbonate (in other words, plastic) frame, was last updated in mid-2010. It currently sports a 13.3-inch LED-backlit glossy screen (1280 by 800 pixel resolution, just like the 13-inch MacBook Pro), 2GB of system memory (expandable to 8GB), a 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo and Nvidia's GeForce 320M graphics card with 256MB video memory. What's likely in the new white MacBook? Thunderbolt, of course. Probably a Sandy Bridge processor of some sort. Apple's 13-inch MacBook Pro sports a 2.3 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, so it's reasonable to suspect a dual-core equivalent, maybe clocked at 2.0 or 2.2 GHz. We'll probably also see a shift to the slower Intel HD Graphics 3000 or AMD Radeon 6000M series video card—a real bummer for older Nvidia GeForce 320M MacBook owners (the latter's the reason I skipped Apple's last MacBook Pro refresh in February 2011). And who knows, perhaps Apple will finally drop the price on this thing. $999 still seems like $100-$200 too much for what's essentially a cheapo plastic version of the in-every-way-superior only $200 pricier 13-inch MacBook Pro. If you're instead looking for something like a Mac Mini, it looks like that's happening, too, with three new models appearing "soon" and classified "best," "better," and "ultimate." No word on what they'll include, though faster latest-family processors are a given. And don't forget Apple's ballyhooed MacBook Air update, still very much on track, though whether any of this stuff manifests at OS X Lion's digital-exclusive launch (supposedly tomorrow) remains to be seen.
A new study by The Journal of International Commerce and Economics sheds some light on this. It looks at the boost in jobs and profits to different countries resulting from the creation of Apple's almighty iPod. Some of the results aren't that surprising. The number of jobs created abroad, for instance — 27,250 — was more than half the number created in the United States — 13,920. There goes our manufacturing base, but we already knew that. A bit more surprising to some might be that China, at 12,270 jobs, didn't get the lions' share of jobs from the iPod's creation. Countries like the Philippines and Korea prospered more. Both got more jobs in relation to their smaller population sizes than China.
If you have a cellphone with a monthly limit on how much data you can use, here are some tips on what types of phone use will gobble up your precious megabytes.
An amazing take by an anonymous user on Quora on why Apple products sometimes seem so superior. Because they are. Because they got them before anyone else.

Kanye West just attacked an 18-year-old guy inside the waiting room of a chiropractor's office ... after the guy allegedly called Kanye the N-word ... TMZ has learned.
Kim was at a Beverly Hills medical building when she was swarmed by photogs. We're told the guy allegedly tried to help Kim get in the building, as he started screaming, "F**k these fa**ot-ass n****rs"" -- referring to the paparazzi. Kim then told him it was not appropriate to use the N-word. We're told he then screamed at her, "F**k you bitch. Just trying to help you. Shut up n****r lover, stupid slut."
Apparently that got Kim hot as fish grease ... she watched the guy walk into an office. As they were walking we're told the guy continued berating Kim. She dialed Kanye on his cell, and when the guy realized Kanye was on the phone he allegedly said, "F**k you N****r." Kanye -- who had just arrived at the building -- then met up with Kim.
Sources say Kanye and Kim rushed into the waiting room of chiropractor Richard Hill and found the 18-year-old sitting there. Witnesses say Kanye punched the guy and Kim screamed, "We have it all on tape."
Sources say the massage therapist in the office separated the 2 men. Beverly Hills cops were called and the 18-year-old said he wanted to press charges.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Kanye is now officially a suspect in a battery investigation and they want to interview him. We're also told the matter will be referred to the L.A. County D.A. for possible prosecution.
Remember -- Kanye is currently facing assault charges involving a photog attack at LAX.

Wow, what a tool. This will help make Kanye a sympathetic figure. This is probably some idiot hoping for a lawsuit path to riches, using free speech to provoke a rich guy's assault.
Freakin idiot. The way the story reads Kanye wasn't even there when the comments were made. So Kim obviously called Kanye and he burst into a doctors office and assaults an 18 year old kid. Even though the language used was bad, still doesn't justify Kanye assaulting the kid. Congratulations to Kimye for both making that 18 year old kid rich.
Probably all a set up. TMZ was promoting the golden globes for the last few days. Not enough promoting Kimye. Stick and Stones.

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

[CLOSED]Sketches still available!
There are still four slots open for free sketches, so please see yesterday's post if you're interested. Don't be shy!

10 Free Sketches!
Alright, so I've decided to jump on board with this "10 Free Sketches" thing going around theO. It's been so fun to see everyone else's, so I thought I'd try it myself ^^ So you probably know the drill – the first 10 commenters will get a sketch of a character of their choice. Feel free to pick an OC (please provide a reference!) or any character out there. I just ask you don't pick anyone who dresses immodestly, unless you don't mind an outfit change. And it would be nice if you didn't pick someone with huge muscles or robot-cyborg attachments or something...because that would be difficult XD
I intend to submit these all on one sheet (or possibly two), like what my friend superstarpanou has done (-her lovely work-). That's it ~ request away!

Thanks again to my entrants! You have no idea how hard you made it for me to pick winners XD Seriously though I was very glad for your interest in my first challange. It was a lot of fun to host! And now I get to have all kinds of fun drawing your prizes I'll try not to take too long!
I'm Back!
Hello again! I got back last night from my family vacation to Florida. We had such a great time! I'm missing the nice weather already – it's been cold, gloomy, and rainy since we got back ^^;
So our first day there we went to three of the Disney parks – The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Hollywood Studios. We about walked our legs off doing all that in one day, but it was extremely fun. It was great to go on Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion again, among other rides and attractions.
The second day we visited with church friends, and the third day we went to Universal Studios. I love that park – it has a lot of simulator rides, which I thoroughly enjoy since I'm not into roller coasters or the more extreme thrill rides ^^; The day after that we went to Universal Islands of Adventure, including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. That was sooo much fun! Hogsmeade and Hogwarts were just amazing. The Forbidden Journey, the ride inside of Hogwarts, has to be my new favorite. I also got to try pumpkin juice and butterbeer. The pumpkin juice was kind of like drinking a scented candle…lol XD The butterbeer on the other hand was delicious, like butterscotch meets cream soda. Yum! And of course my husband, my Dad, and I all bought wands at Ollivander's ^-^
Alright, there's my quick run down. I made a couple posts of pictures on my Tumblr, so feel free to have a look. What's new with you guys since I've been away?
And lastly, a quick reminder – my Fire Emblem challenge will be ending in just a few days, so if you're planning to enter now is the time!
Just at quick note to say that I'll be gone for about a week starting tomorrow, so I won't be around to answer comments during that time. I'm headed off to Florida for a vacation with my husband and Dad. We're going to Disney and Universal, which includes the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! ^O^ Yeah, I'm just a little bit excited about that, haha XD We're also going to visit some of the "snowbirds" from our church who all live in the same area down there during the winter. Should be lots of fun!
Also I thought I'd mention that I started a Tumblr account a while ago where I've been posting some WIPs and other random stuff, so feel free to stop by if you're interested.
Take care guys, and I'll see you in a week! ^-^

Not-to-be-missed Events
Whatever's on the calendar, it'll be a highlight. Count on it.
Lucky Tubb Concert in the Experience Gallery
If Ernest Tubb is the King of Honky Tonk music, then Lucky Tubb is surely the Prince. Choosing to carry out the legacy of his great-uncle, Lucky's style is reminiscent to the raw and original country style of the earliest Nashville artists. Lucky Tubb's album "Generations" was recorded in January of 2003, after a devastating Christmas Eve house fire burned away all of his belongings. Through generous donations, he was able to re-establish equipment and love from the music community. He carried on. Never breaking stride and never retreating, Lucky has moved up the ranks of the Texas music scene. Starting out playing coffee shops for tips with only a snare drummer, to opening for country music cornerstones such as Ray Price and country superstar Dwight Yoakum. Lucky wears his life experiences like a well-tailored suit with the sleeves ripped off. In the early days, despite poor management, heavy drinking, and quick temper (alongside many acclaimed honky-tonkers and country legends), he has grown to realize the responsibilities bestowed to him through heritage. Bottom line, Lucky Tubb is the real deal. People will always like good honky-tonk music, and will for generations to come.
