Issue: Downtown Elizabethtown parking meters
Our view: There's life in them yet
Once upon a time, downtown Elizabethtown was such a hopping place, city leaders installed parking meters to ensure everyone had a chance to visit county offices and patronize the merchants.
That's one theory at least.
Another theory is that way back when, the ogres in City Hall figured out how to make a buck (or at least a nickel) off anybody who had to conduct business with a county office.

Monday: 40 Freezer Meals in 4 Hours!
If you are anything like me, you start your Monday with GREAT EXPECTATIONS for the week. For example, this may or may not be my task list for the week:
1. Start Christmas shopping
2. Make a home-cooked meal every night
3. Don't get behind on laundry
4. Buy kids new shoes
5. Prepare outfits of family pictures
…and so on and so forth. Now, how many of those will I actually get done? Probably not half. But I will try to! Fact is, life happens and our to-do lists get longer as the week gets shorter. But my #2 on the list is on my list every week, because that is what is most important to me. Home cooked meals not only save you money but it is a great way to have some family time in the evenings over dinner. Plus it scores brownie points with the husband when a hot meal is waiting when he gets home from work, right?!
"Who needs a cape?" has put together an awesome plan for 40 crock pot freezer meals in 4 hours. She includes a list, instructions, ingredients, and even a shopping list!

Government shutdown = FREE coffee?
Apparently Starbucks thinks so! They are trying to teach our politicians to scratch each other's back by offering FREE coffee to anyone who treats another person to one.
Will they teach D.C. to have a heart? Maybe, maybe not. But at least we will all be caffeinated during this mess! Head over HERE for all the details.
Tell us what you think, will the FREE Starbucks get our government back to business or is this just a publicity stunt? Go to the ESM Facebook page now.

Welcome to October!
I am so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers, how about you? October is my favorite month. I break out the pumpkin spice candles, cookbooks, and fall decorations. I paint my nails colors of brown, while wishing for the day that I walk outside and need a light jacket. We plan trips to the mountains to visit my family, where we can watch Fall as it creeps in on the leaves. I love October because October means Fall!
What does Fall mean to all of us deal hunters?
- BAKING SUPPLIES ON SALE! This is a great time to stock up on baking essentials. Many stores run sales and the newspaper and online coupon sites are filled with discounts for those baking items we need during the holiday season. Stock up! It's feast or famine with discounts on these items.
- AMAZON DEALS ARE BACK! I love Christmas shopping on Amazon. I don't even have to get dressed to score hot deals on items on my list!
- CONSIGNMENT SALES! With the season swap, many consignment sales are having their seasonal sales. This is a great time to not only stock up on a new wardrobe for you or the kids but also a good time to sell your stuff to make money for the gift buying season!
- SCHOOL SUPPLIES CLEARANCE! Now that back to school shopping is over, many stores have marked down their overstock. Grab it while you can! Come January, the kids will need new school supplies and you will be left buying it at full price. Get extras and stash it in your spare closet while it is marked down.
There are many reasons why I love Fall, but the deals that we score during this season are definetely near the top of my list! Head over to the ESM Facebook page and tell us the best deal you have scored.

I Switched!
I bit the bullet. I did what I thought I would never do. I switched to Verizon.
I have been a faithful member of the AT&T universe for over a decade now, and I ended our marriage today. It was sad to hear the words "When I port this number your ties with AT&T will be severed…" but after it happened came the most amazing thing……
It is AWESOME! Service going down the road, service when I am in my kitchen, and service when I walk from one place to another! Who'd a thought a girl would be this happy over clear, uninterrupted, YOU CAN HEAR ME NOW service!
Here are a few money saving tips for you when buying/switching cell providers
- Ask for employer/military discounts- lots of companies offer you a percentage off of your bill at major cell providers or cellular companies offer discounts to service men and women
- Check for mail in rebates or special deals for switching- Look for phones with mail in rebates or special deals if you are ditching one company for the next
- Break your contract free- If your cell company isn't holding up their end of the bargain, let them know! They will discount your bill or in some cases let you break contract with no charge
- Use the 14 days- Cell companies give you 14 days to try out a phone, so use it! You may have thought that an iPhone wasn't for you, but at least try it out and return it if you do not like it. Try out the "FREE" right now phone and see if you like it better than your previous one!

Well, I have been away far too long.
While I was away, I realized several things.
1) Couponing is hard when you are not having fun with it
2) I really love writing for y'all
3) Doing this by myself, while keeping up with all FOUR kids, is tough
4) Talking about just coupons on here is kind of boring
So here we are. A new chapter for EasternShoreMom.com but I believe it is going to be an exciting one. One filled with crazy-random posts from me, new & fun things to liven up this page, and of course SAVING MONEY! But I wouldn't be able to start back again without some help. So I found a great helper, Tracy, who while I was away was helping with the posting and the Facebook page. So you already know Tracy and you didn't even know it! How about that!? She is very sweet and GREAT at finding some hot deals. We ALL LOVE A HOT DEAL, RIGHT!?
So here we go. I cannot promise that I will post every hour, or every morning, but I am here and hang on because with all that I have going on I can promise some quality entertainment from here on out!
I AM LISTENING! What do you want to see on EasternShoreMom.com? Head over to our Facebook Page now and let me know.

Going to the Chapel…
It's been a while since I have updated you guys, didn't mean to leave you hanging! Life has been a wild ride over the last year, and EasternShoreMom.com has taken a back seat to all my other priorities. But ESM will continue on, hopefully more regular in the coming months. I have slowed down a little after a BIG event last weekend that I am going to share with y'all….
Yes, to the most amazing man in the world, the man God made just for me. These are the pictures, done by the incredibly talented Morgan Joy Photography (located in the Mobile area). If you are looking for a photographer that's affordable and will do a great job, Morgan is your girl. I was so thrilled when she agreed to take our wedding photos, I had heard amazing things and had seen some of her work (it's beautiful). Never did I dream the pictures would turn out as breath taking as they did! Getting my HUSBAND (AHHHH I just love to say it) to smile isn't an easy task, but she did! Also, she was amazing with all the kids. Between the two of us, we have four plus all the other kids at the wedding and she worked magic with each of them during group shots. She was a HUGE hit!
For more pictures go HERE
I am so happy to share with you all the most incredible day of my life, and stay tuned to EasternShoreMom.com because we will be having some new stuff coming up soon. Also, don't forget to watch ESM on Fox10′s morning show at 8am on Wednesday mornings! This next segment will be about Thrifty Weddings :)

Who is the Coupon Fairy?
Have you been blessed by the Coupon Fairy? Been strolling down the aisle towards a product that you needed to buy but didn't have a coupon for? Magically, right there on the shelf by your item, there is a coupon that you can use! Yep, she is one wonderful fairy isn't she?!
The fact is that we can all be coupon fairies! In every paper every week there are coupons for items that your family doesn't buy. A lot of us just look as those coupons as something that we "may" buy or you may even view them as trash, however there is someone out there that needs that coupon! So the next time you are clipping, make a "Coupon Fairy" pile and take 5 minutes out of your grocery trip to drop those coupons by their respected items. You never know who you may bless with your small act of kindness!

Beginners: How you "DO" Coupons.com like a Pro!
How do you do Coupons.com like a pro?
Coupons.com is a site we talk about A WHOLE LOT on EasternShoreMom.com. However, it can be very complicated to know how I find all these coupons, how to print again, where are the coupons I just printed, etc. Let me help you with a little Coupons.com 101:
Entering a Zip Code
When you are on Coupons.com, the coupons that come up are based on what zip code you enter. You can enter ANY ZIP CODE YOU WANT, there will be no indication on the coupon that it is only valid in the area you selected. What are some HOT zip codes?
- Try selecting "no zip code" (in my experience, this brings up EVERY coupon any of the zip codes bring up)
- 90210
- 30306
- 12345
- You can also go to USPS.com and use their zip code finder to find other zip codes. Usually big city zip codes have better coupon selections.
Printing the Coupons
You want to select "Clip this Coupon" to print. But as you know, you can print (most) coupons twice on Coupons.com! However, when you go back to the page that coupon was on it is no longer there. Where did it go and do I have to scroll through all 18 pages of these coupons to find it?
- Once you have printed a coupon once, when you go back to print again try the last few pages on coupons. Usually when you print a coupon they send it to the last page to hang out, letting you know you have either "reached your print limit" or you are almost there.
When do the Coupons Expire
Once you print a coupon from Coupons.com, the coupon should expire 30 days from the date on print.
When do the Print Limits Reset
So once you have printed a coupon twice, it gives you the "print limit reached" message. But when can you print it again? At the beginning of every month, Coupons.com will reset and allow you to print again. That is, if that coupon is still available. At the beginning of the month Coupons.com also reloads with new coupons and gets rid of some of the old coupons.
- Be sure on the last day of the month to scroll through and print ANY coupon you might want because tomorrow it might not be there anymore. If it is still there, you will be able to print it an additional 2 times, ending up with 4 of the same coupon!
When Should I Check Coupons.com for New Coupons?
Be sure to head over there once a day to check and see if there are new coupons to print! EasternShoreMom.com also puts of Catch of the Day posts to alert you of new coupons, but you never know what you may find! Download the FREE ESM Toolbar for a quick link to Coupons.com to remind you each day to check.

*HOT* Get Alerted For Packages from your Phone & Email!!
What an awesome service from UPS ! I don't know about you but I cannot stand getting notices that "a package has come that needs a signature" or having to wait all day for a package to come that I know needs to be signed for. It wastes my whole day! Now, UPS is offering My Choice which is a FREE program you sign up for to connect your phone with your address to make deliveries simple.
This helped me so much recently! As we were in the hospital having our new little one, his baby monitor had been delivered to the house. Had UPS My Choice not alerted me, it would have sat on the doorstep for days, possibly getting rained on or being stolen. But, I had been alerted the day before that it was to be delivered and was able to send someone to put it inside.
You will get notifications when:
- A package is about to be delivered (the next day)
- A package needs to be signed for
- Also, you will be able to sign for the package via your phone! How neat??

Print Coupons, Without a Printer!
Ever seen a coupon online that you want to get but you are not hooked up to your printer right now? This happens to me all the time because I am on my laptop, and I am lazy at that second and don't want to walk all the way into the office to the printer and connect. This is when I figured out I can still get the coupon even if I am not connected to the printer.
(Warning: Your Milage May Vary. The steps below are ones that work for me but I would test your computer on a coupon you don't really need first just in case.)
- Print the coupon as you would normally, not hooked up to the printer
- After it says you've printed it, try waiting 5 to 10 minutes and hook up the printer. Your coupon should then print!
What happens is if the computer can't print the page, it keep the item in que to print the next time you connect to the printer. This works as long as you don't shut down your computer before you print. If you shut the machine down, the items in que disappear.
Try it now! Head over to Coupons.com and see if this works for you.
Another time this helps:
When you are out of ink and haven't made it to the store but there is a HOT coupon you want to print before it is gone!

- Great Company! Great Quality!Review by LaWanda O.
- I ordered eight of these for the City Employee Christmas Party. I was very pleased with the quality. The red tablecloths were beautiful for Christmas. Everyone bragged on the quality and how nice the tablecloths looked. They washed nicely and really did not need ironing if taken out of the dryer as soon as it went off. I would highly recommend this company to any one who wants good quality and save money at the same time. I received my order very promptly. I am very pleased! (Posted on 12/9/12)
- Well pkgd, well priced, well made!Review by Lookintomyeyes
I ordered 17 of these tablecloths, as I wanted tablecloths that would drop to ~6" from the floor, on 60" round tables.
The fabric quality is quite nice, and while the edges are serged and not hemmed, the serging is quite tight and small - about halfway between a regular serged edge, and a rolled hem.
The fabric has a good weight, definitely isn't see-through, and drapes quite nicely.
If you are wondering about what 'shade' of red the tablecloths are, it is more of a slight 'orange-red' than a 'pink-red'. My fiance preferred this as he loathes pink! I also layered black lace over it, which I found also gave it more of a pink cast.
In any case, I'm quite happy with my purchase! (Posted on 12/11/10)

BUFFALO, N.Y. — An Allegany County man who claims to own half of Facebook is accusing the social media giant of scaring off his lawyer.
Paul Ceglia of Wellsville told a federal judge on Tuesday that threats from Facebook are behind his attorney request to withdraw from the case.
A federal magistrate heard Dean Boland's request Tuesday, but delayed any decision after Ceglia told the court he wanted to retain Boland. The judge gave Boland until Dec. 4th to outline why he wants to be removed.
At least a half dozen lawyers and firms have withdrawn from the case before Boland.
Ceglia is charged with fraud; accused of doctoring and destroying evidence to support his two-year-old civil suit against Facebook.

The Pacific coast is generous to anglers, perhaps too generous, but at least this generosity demands of them that they see and know the waters in all their moods and all their months… -Roderick Haig-Brown, A River Never Sleeps
October can be great. Or it can be terrible… There are plenty of different objectives for the late-fall fly fisherman in the Pacific Northwest. Unfortunately, they are all very weather-dependent and the weather in October seemingly cannot be predicted by professional meteorologists much less me so I try to be flexible and have just a bit of blind faith optimism that opportune conditions will present.
This year, the double-dip la Nina weather pattern seems to have materialized after all and we've transitioned into the cool, cloudy weather for which Seattle is so famous. The small streams where I most enjoy chasing trout are all rising and cooling. As you'd expect, the fish are less eager to take flies other than the warmest hours of late afternoon.
Hoping to get one last day of dry fly trout fishing in this season, I took co-worker/friend/fishing partner, MK, to my favorite little stream that I never mention by name, especially on the interwebs.
The fishing started rather slow. The cool night had likely lowered the water temperature enough that the trouts were sleeping late, not particular interested in the bits of feather and thread that we were putting in front of them. Working our way downstream, we fished traditional softhackles on a wet fly swing. A few smaller fish were landed over several hours as we hiked & fished to our terminal point.
At a spot where the new river channel takes a hard left into very dense forest, we turned back upstream, clipped off the wet flies and replaced them with a dry fly pattern that I developed to be an impressionistic representation of larger caddis found in our rivers this time of year. The warming day (but still cool at about 60F), energized the trout and the fishing was steady for the hike back up river. Quite a few pretty small stream trout were landed including several that were decent sized for this little river.
Late in the day, I managed to hook a very large trout for this stream. It was big enough that I played it from the reel and needed to be careful of the light tippet I was using. After the cuthroat rolled and showed his size, the line suddenly went slack and I watched him glide away into the pool… Earlier in the day, I had hooked another large trout with exactly the same results and given the failing light, I reconciled myself to a pretty nice last day of small stream trout fishing in 2011.
As I was reeling in, I noticed a small dink rise near the far side of the pool where I had just hooked the big cutt. On the third cast, there was a gentle sipping rise to my fly. Setting the hook, I shouted to MK that it was "just another average trout" but then the fish cleared the water and landed with a splash that sounded like someone threw a cantaloupe in the river. The 'kerploosh' was followed by the wonderful scream of my little 90yr old Farlow gear/pawl reel. My 'dink' was actually Hog Johnson or his brother and I sure as hell didn't want to lose another big trout. After several more nice jumps and runs, I led a very nice coastal cutthroat to shore, definitely outsized for this little river. It was a great way to end the day and the season and gave me a memory I'll need to carry close at hand during the many winter steelhead skunkings to come…

JURIST Guest Columnist Mark Loewenstein of the University of Colorado Law School says that while the SEC clearly has the authority to require reporting companies to disclose information regarding their political expenditures, a better course of action may be to amend existing SEC rules to reinforce a market-based approach...
Shareholder objections raised through the procedures of corporate democracy can be more effective today because modern technology makes disclosures rapid and informative. A campaign finance system that pairs corporate independent expenditures with effective disclosure has not existed before today. It must be noted, furthermore, that many of Congress' findings in passing [legislation that restricted corporate expenditures] were premised on a system without adequate disclosure ... With the advent of the Internet, prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed to hold corporations and elected officials accountable for their positions and supporters. Shareholders can determine whether their corporation's political speech advances the corporation's interest in making profits, and citizens can see whether elected officials are "in the pocket" of so-called moneyed interests.
proposed legislation in California that would require corporations with California shareholders to disclose expenditures on political issues,bylaw amendments and resolutions proposed by shareholders that would require publicly held corporations to disclose their political expenditures, anda call for the SEC, through its rulemaking authority, to mandate corporate disclosure of political expenditures.
There is a better way. The commission should take note of the fact that the market is already addressing the issue. More than 50 percent of the S&P 100 companies already post their political expenditures on their websites. For the 2012 proxy season, shareholders groups and their political watchdog allies have crafted over 100 proposals that require publicly held companies to increase their political expenditure disclosures. Merely receiving such a proposal prompts many companies to adopt a disclosure policy. Of course, this market-based approach has its shortcomings. Not all companies will embrace voluntary disclosure, and the nature, timing and presentation of disclosure will not be uniform from company to company. Some companies, having adopted voluntary disclosure, may abandon it in the future or reduce the amount they disclose. However, if having robust disclosure of political expenditures is material to investors, they can disinvest or decline to invest in companies that fail to meet their disclosure expectations. The Internet can be very effective in publicizing the identities of companies that fall short on the disclosure front or make political contributions that offend some segment of society. The SEC can encourage this ongoing grassroots effort. It should assure that shareholder proposals related to political expenditures make their way into company proxy statements. Exchange Act Rule 14a-8 places some hurdles in that regard. However, under these rules, companies can exclude shareholder proposals that are not proper subjects for action by shareholders under state law, that deal with the company's ordinary business operations or that are economically insignificant to the company's business. Depending on how a shareholder proposal is written, it may be excludable under one or more of these three rules. The SEC can and should amend its rules to make clear that shareholder proposals that deal with political expenditures are not excludable, or specify the circumstances under which they may be excluded.
Modifying Rule 14a-8 is simpler and more attainable than the project envisioned by Aguilar. Leaving the matter up to shareholder initiative has another salutary aspect. It may be the case that, in some companies, the shareholders will vote against mandating additional disclosure. Shareholders recognize that disclosure comes at a cost. Companies have to spend time and resources to assemble information, assure its accuracy and present it. In addition to these costs, a rational shareholder may assume that the company's political expenditures are unlikely to be material to the company and not worth the effort of tracking and disclosing. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, a rational shareholder may conclude that such expenditures are beneficial to the company while their disclosure may not be. Aguilar seems to assume that no shareholder could hold such a view, but that is an empirical question that an effective Rule 14a-8 could resolve.

DescriptionThis superb crag has a five minute approach and ultra clean rock. However, it is somewhat of a hardman's crag as the warm up climb for the wall goes at 5.11c. The climbing season at this crag is Spring, Summer, Fall, and it is recommended that you climb in the shade (summer until 1 pm) as the holds here tend to be slopey and non-positive. If it is too hot outside, greasing off of the holds becomes a real problem. Anarchy Wall has perhaps the best selection of quality 5.12 routes in the canyon including the test piece "Anarchitect" (5.12d). There are also a couple of easy 5.8-5.9 routes down the hill (to the south) from the Anarchy Wall that offer some moderate climbing. All of the routes here are protected by bolts. There are a few routes that have some runout moves and difficult clips so one should be comfortable climbing 5.12 moves if attempting these on lead. Setting up top-ropes is rather difficult (without leading the climb) and not recommended. There are two bolt lowering anchors at the top of each route. Routes range from 5 bolts to 10 bolts in length. Routes are listed from the left side of the wall to the right side. Getting TherePark in the pull out on the south side of the road immediately as you go through tunnel #3. Walk east and slightly uphill to this 40-70 foot overhanging wall. L->R:A. Hazardous Waste, 11+, 1p, 40', bolts. 15 Total Routes

This is a good, hard route. The moves are sustained and non-positive. Once you start moving, keep climbing and it will eventually get better (at the anchors!!!). Overall, a good challenge....[more] Browse More Classics in CO

- Monasterio de la Encarnación
Monasterio de la Encarnación, Madrid
Nestled in a charming little square between the Royal Palace and Plaza España, the Monasterio de la Encarnación is the second of Central Madrid's royal Hapsburg monasteries. In addition to an interesting church, cloister and collection of art, it contains a fascinating relics room that includes the miraculous blood of a saint.
The Monastery of the Incarnation was founded by Queen Margaret of Austria, wife of Philip III, in 1611 (the year the King James Bible was published in England). After a destructive fire, it was rebuilt by Ventura Rodriguez in 1767. The monastery is still active today, but the nuns stay out of sight during visiting hours.
What to See
As at the Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, visits to the Monasterio de la Encarnación are by guided tours in Spanish only. The convent includes a nice cloister, a fine Baroque church with a frescoed ceiling (by Francisco Bayeu), and a large but not especially impressive collection of 17th-century art.
For many visitors, the highlight of La Encarnación is the reliquario (relics room), where a variety of relics of saints contained in gold and silver reliquaries are displayed. The most important and interesting of these is the blood of Saint Pantaleon, which is kept in a glass orb. Every year on July 26, the eve of his feast day, the blood is said to miraculously liquefy. If it does not, then disaster is sure to follow.

Submit to EE
Authors with books that they feel are ready for publication prepare query letters (or synopses), which they plan to send to publishers or literary agents. They get these into the best possible condition, and then email them to Evil Editor. Evil Editor prints them exactly as they came to him, adding his own comments in a different color. Evil Editor's comments are intended for entertainment purposes only, although many readers insist on finding them instructional as well. The word limit for a synopsis is 400. Queries aren't limited by EE, but if you can't fit it on one page, it's probably too long.
2. How--?
Email queries and synopses to email@example.com. Within the email, not attached. If your query gives no clue as to where your title comes from, that's fine, but you might let Evil Editor know where you got the title, so that he can create a "Guess the Plot" that sounds like someone might reasonably have made it up after seeing your title.
3. Huh?
At the beginning of each Face-Lift is a feature called Guess the Plot. It includes five fake plots along with the correct plot for the title of the book. The fake plots are submitted by EE's Evil Minions, of which you are now one. Click on "Query Queue" in the sidebar for a list of titles waiting for fake plots. Send as many as you like.
3. How else--?
You may submit the opening of your novel or short story (to email@example.com).
Or continue someone else's opening. Click the CONTINUE SOMEONE'S OPENING link in the sidebar for more information.
You may comment on any post. When submitting a comment, try to be helpful or witty or both. All authors enjoy praise and constructive criticism. And don't forget to include praise for Evil Editor.
You may follow Evil Editor on Twitter. Evil Editor's handle is @TheEvilEditor.
You may also show up, read the new posts, and leave. No obligation, except to have fun.
4. Can I--?
No. You must be willing to be humiliated (or praised) in a public forum. The lessons to be learned from having your query critiqued are probably available in the critiques of other authors' work, however, so if you don't have the guts to submit, read the archives.
5. What if--?
If you disagree with Evil Editor, strive to see where you've gone wrong. If you disagree with a commenter, remember, it's just one person's opinion. It's your book. A consensus of opinions may indicate that you have a problem worth addressing.
6. When--?
If you've submitted a query, you should soon find it listed in "QUERY QUEUE" (Link in sidebar). Others in the queue have been waiting longer than you, so be patient. Queries/synopses are critiqued in the order received.
7. What about--?
Most of them are answered in the archives. If reading the archives is a pain, you can order Evil Editor's books, Why You Don't Get Published (which collects most of the Q and A's along with hilarious excerpts from the Face-Lifts), Novel Deviations, which collects the best of the New Beginnings, and Evil Editor Teaches School (which collects the best of the writing exercises.
The archives, by the way, may be more enjoyable if you read from the earliest to the latest, as there are a few inside jokes you won't find amusing otherwise. True, it would take months to read the archives, but that's your fault for showing up so late.

"You might let Evil Editor know where you got the title, so that he can create a "Guess the Plot"..."
I don't understand this section at all. What do you mean, where we got the title? If you're trying to guess the plot then doesn't explaining what part of the book influenced the title defeat the purpose of guessing? Or does it literally mean "where" as in "I walked to the mailbox and found the title sitting inside"? - 2/7/12, 6:08 PM
- Evil Editor said...
Let Evil Editor know. Evil Editor will not let anyone else know, until after they've made their guess.
This applies only when where you got the title isn't obvious or at least.figureoutable from your plot description. - 2/7/12, 8:31 PM

They're there for me. Could the problem be at your end? Try rebooting.
- khazar-khum said...
slush hell!
they mislabeled it - 4/9/13, 3:42 AM
- CavalierdeNuit said...
Are New Beginnings still being accepted? If so, how does one submit? Thanks!
- Evil Editor said...
I stopped doing New Beginnings when we hit #1000, because few openings were coming in and few people were sending continuations. However, as no one seems to be sending queries anymore, if you have an opening you want feedback on, I'll post it. You can send as a comment or an email.
- khazar-khum said...
Sine we're about to start NaNo, maybe we should pitch our initial ideas--and then what we actually did. Or the openings of same.

my hc copy of dark tower III arrived today and it is in mint condition! just need I and II now
I just got the 2010 desktop calender! It should be here today!
My latest purchases are :Carrie original bookclub edition for $3.00 , The Shining mini series for $5.34, and IT in hardcover for $4.
this weekend I'm going to a Secondhand shop to buy Hardcovers of Carrie, 'Salem's Lot, and The Shining (not sure if they are first editions, but they are definitely to large to be book club editions, none of those three have prices on the flaps) So I'm wondering what exactly they are, other than hardcovers.
I just bought Under the Dome and can't wait to get started!
I received STEPHEN KING: THE NON-FICTION.
Very nice large book. I'm interested to learn more about Sai King's earlier writing days.
Just ordered The Green Mile in hardcover from borders.com.
Slowly but surely, I am working on getting all of Stephen's books in hardcover=]
On writing about a month ago that I still haven't started.
I recently (a few months back) watched Delores Claiborne on HBO or something and just loved the movie and even made my fiance watch it and she loved it as well.
I always forget to go to the store to grab it though because I am wanting to read it badly.
My lastest purchase of SK was under The Dome for $30 at the book store.
Just got UR in the mail on CD - sweet!
Just got the DVD collectors set of the Mist.
also (Posted in the Dark Tower General info forum) some sköldpadda --- polished rock ones beautiful!!!

by Rosiland Jordan
I recently spent time with some female trainees at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas – both the place where all Airmen go for basic training and the site of a burgeoning sexual assault scandal.
At the time, I was struck by their insistence that the Air Force would support them, if anyone dared to violate their bodies.
I am rethinking their optimism, thanks to an interview with the woman who first sounded the alarm about military sexual abuse.
Paula Coughlin-Puopolo says she felt the same way as those young women when she first became a Navy helicopter pilot.
As the daughter and granddaughter of aviators, Coughlin-Puopolo says she had no reason to feel any other way.
But then came the "Tailhook" Convention in 1991 in Las Vegas.
The annual gathering of Navy and Marine Corps aviators is part professional development, part socialising.
But Coughlin-Puopolo says that year, the socialising degenerated into violent groping and fondling as she tried to make her way down "The Gauntlet" – a hallway at the Las Vegas Hilton.
Coughlin-Puopolo reported the assault, but says everyone from her boss – a rear admiral – to military investigators mocked her claims.
Her skirt was too short. She had no business being in a hotel with hundreds of drunken aviators. She was jeopardising her career by filing the charge and going public.
In the end, the Navy Secretary had to resign, and the careers of fourteen admirals and 300 naval aviators were damaged. No one went to prison. That was 21 years ago.
Coughlin-Puopolo worries that today's young airmen are too optimistic, even naïve.
So she is trying to help them, lobbying the government to fight the problem through better training and accountability.
She says she hopes the new Air Force chief of staff, General Mark Welsh, will use every bit of power he has to erase sexual abuse from the military - even though he has already told anyone who will listen, he's not sure he will be able to do it.

Special program for keeping/managing personal data
Hello everyone.
I am going to buy a good app for keeping personal information. Could you give me advise with finding . Especially I need: - it could keep various formats such as text , pictures, audio and video files - it can create folders or manage all data clearly - it has own database to collect all data such had Yojimbo and also it could encrypt/hide it I need this because I am not only who is using macbook so I need to keep my information from work and life organized and invisible. Also I've downloaded the trial versions of Yojimbo, Together and DEVONthink Pro Office and: Yojimbo - very good app but however it can't simply add or import any video files which I have tons of them. Together - it doesn't have own database so the information could be taken from it. DEVONthink - nice app with own database, but it can't encrypt it. Thank You. |

Western interpretations of the Cold Warboth realist and neoconservativehave erred by exaggerating either the Kremlin's pragmatism or its aggressiveness, argues Vladislav Zubok. Explaining the interests, aspirations, illusions, fears, and misperceptions of the Kremlin leaders and Soviet elites, Zubok offers a Soviet perspective on the greatest standoff of the twentieth century.Using recently declassified Politburo records, ciphered telegrams, diaries, and taped conversations, among other sources, Zubok explores the origins of the superpowers' confrontation under Stalin, Khrushchev's contradictory and counterproductive attempts to ease tensions, the surprising story of Brezhnev's passion for detente, and Gorbachev's destruction of the Soviet superpower as the by-product of his hasty steps to end the Cold War and to reform the Soviet Union. The first work in English to cover the entire Cold War from the Soviet side,A Failed Empireprovides a history different from those written by the Western victors.In this widely praised book, Vladislav Zubok argues that Western interpretations of the Cold War have erred by exaggerating either the Kremlin's pragmatism or its aggressiveness.

text: You're engaged! You picked a date! Time to celebrate! Okay, there's lots more to do to plan the actual wedding, but for now you've got a good thing locked in – and we say: shout it from the rooftops with custom save-the-date cards from Mixbook! Your besties will already know your engaged to be married, but for many folks you plan to invite to your wedding, this will be how they find out. So make it fun! There's not a person in the world who wouldn't relish a great photo of the happy couple, so be sure to include a good one, the more natural and fun the better – there will be plenty of time for perfectly posed portraits on your big day. A few tips: Print about 20% more save-the-date cards than your absolute guest-list number limit. This will account for declined invitations and a mistake or two down the line. ONLY send save-the-dates to people you are absolutely sure will make the final list. You can't send out a save-the-date announcement and then not follow up with a formal invitation. Send your save-the-date cards out as early as you can – especially if you are planning a destination wedding, which is any ceremony where most people will have to travel to attend. You can send out your save-the-dates up to a year in advance! After you've sent your announcements to the absolutely-must-attend group, follow with the absolutely-must-invite group. For friends and relatives you may or may not have room for, wait a few months and see what comes up before sending. Keep in mind that everyone loves getting a save-the-date for a wedding. It's a harbinger of something great to look forward to! Your save-the-date will likely be posted prominently on the mantel or fridge at least until your formal invitation arrives, so take the time to make the most of Mixbook's incredible versatility and free tools. Thousands of free design elements let you really create something unique. If you're looking for ways to personalize your save-the-date cards, our editor allows you to upload your own sticker and backgrounds or entire digital scrapbooking kits purchased from designers online. Happy Mixbooking!

By Anna Louie Sussman
NEW YORK, May 22 (Reuters) - Brent crude oil dropped to $103 per barrel on Wednesday after data showing an unexpected jump in U.S. gasoline stockpiles sparked worries that summer demand in the world's top oil consumer might be weaker than expected.
The U.S. government's Energy Information Administration said gasoline inventories rose by 3 million barrels last week, suggesting the U.S. domestic fuel market was well supplied for the peak driving season.
Brent crude oil futures fell 79 cents to $103.12 per barrel by 12:36 EDT (1636 GMT), after shedding nearly a dollar in the previous session. U.S. crude lost $1.31 cents to $94.87.
Crude inventories fell by 338,000 barrels, the EIA report showed. Analysts had expected crude stocks to drop 800,000 barrels and gasoline stocks to remain unchanged from a week ago.
U.S. gasoline fell 2 cents to $2.82 a gallon a after hitting a session low of $2.79. Gasoline has slid nearly 4 percent since May 17, when it touched $2.93, its highest in a month.
'Gasoline remains the focus of the complex as we head into peak demand season,' John Kilduff, partner at Again Capital in New York.
'Concerns over inventories had produced the recent rally, and gasoline's strength spilled over into the rest of the complex.'
Wall Street stocks jumped as much as 1 percent, then pared gains after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, in testimony to Congress, said that if economic improvement continued, 'We could in the next few meetings take a step down in our pace' of bond purchases.
The dollar rose to a 4-1/2-year high against the yen after Bernanke cited the risks of holding interest rates too low for too long. That jump reversed an earlier decline when he said it was too soon to remove existing stimulus measures.
The U.S. central bank's three quantitative easing (QE) programs have released hundreds of billions of dollars into money markets over the last four years, boosting many commodities including oil. Any sign the easing could end would be bearish for many assets.
Investors are awaiting the release at 2:00 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) of minutes of the last Federal Reserve meeting, which economists also expect to give further details of how it will eventually manage the exit from ultra-easy policy.
Investors will also watch on Thursday for May's initial purchasing manager's indexes for signs of economic revival in the three key consumer regions: China, the United States and the euro zone. Reuters surveys suggest they may show a slight pickup from April but not enough to dispel fears of a sluggish outlook.

This time of year is a good time for homeowners living in areas of the country prone to severe weather to consider addressing their preparedness for the "next big one." Especially in the event of hurricanes (but not limited to them).
To help in this area, we've prepared a document called "Protecting your family and home from violent weather with Hurricane Windows and Doors." Obviously, being a manufacturer that makes "impact" windows and doors, we designed this piece to stress the importance of installing hurricane-strength windows and doors that can withstand the tremendous dangers of strong winds and flying debris.
This document addresses much more, however. For example, it includes a checklist of actions to take and items to have in place as part of a plan to be better prepared. It also includes ASCE wind zone maps that show the areas most affected by hurricanes and the level of protection required for that area by the International Building Code. And, it addresses different types of protection -- from plywood to impact windows -- to keep wind and debris from entering homes and causing serious injury or death and damaging or destroying homes.

Ask which councils in the East of England represent Labour's best chances of a change in control and most observers will answer Thurrock, Harlow and Norwich . Great Yarmouth is often missed off the list of prospects, but with a 22-16 split (with one Independent retiring in an otherwise Labour seat), Labour needs just four gains to take back control for the first time since 2000.
Perhaps the easiest pick up will be regaining the seat that is up in Claydon, where former Labour councillor turned Independent Mike Taylor is standing down. The party should retake this historically Labour seat.
In the remaining twelve wards electing councillors next week, Labour and the Conservatives are defending four and eight seats respectively. Labour should be confident in Magdalen ward where they are hoping to turn the third seat in that ward from blue to red. In the corresponding election in this ward last year, the party took a seat from the Conservatives with a majority of nearly 400 votes.
Labour faces a tougher battle in Bradwell North and Yarmouth North, where Conservative majorities of between 200 and 250 need to be overturned. Victories in both of these seats are necessary to give Labour a chance of gaining control of the council and would indicate that the party is beginning to pick itself up after losing the parliamentary seat in 2010.
Labour is also very competitive in the two Caister wards (North and South), but neither has elections this year – allowing Labour to focus its resources across fewer target wards, but restricting the viable wards in which it can make the gains necessary.
It is difficult to judge Labour's prospects in these elections, although the issue at hand would appear to be whether Labour can make sufficient gains to take control rather than whether it will make any gains. That would be an improvement on last year, when a solitary gain for Labour in St Andrews ward was offset by the loss of a seat in Caister South.

Lecture by author Abdelwahab Meddeb
Tuesday, April 21, 20094:30 PM - 6:30 PM314 Royce HallUCLALos Angeles, CA 90095
Tunisian novelist, poet, and essayist of the younger generation after Independence. His first novel, Talismano (1979), established him as an experimental writer who uses the art of displacement with great skill, establishing a complicity with the Arabic language and culture. In his second novel, Phantasia (1986), he raises the fundamental Maghrebian questions of selfhood and alterity, dealing with the voluntary exile of the artist. Thus, we witness a confrontation of occidental and Arabo-Islamic cultures. In his collection of poems, Tombeau d'Ibn Arabi (1987), his poetic prose captures the letter and the spirit of the most important medieval Arabic poet whose young Persian lover, Nidam, foreshadows Dante's Beatrice. Meddeb is also an essayist and a translator from Arabic to French (see his Les Dits de Bûstami, 1989).

Man, I never knew anything about this...much better implementation than find my iphone.I want.
I'm using a combo of iCloud/Find my iPhone and iCaughtU and it works awesome!
Sorry, not a tweeter...AND ILOCALIS does pretty much everything Cylay does for a one time cost of $7.50 !
That's absolutely insane. Takin pictures on demand! Why didnt apple think of that? Oh because they wait for the underground devs to think of it first and give no credit in return. Great app! Really like it.
LOL, precise tool...lmao
Right, I guess I'll just start carrying a paperclip in my pocket from now on?
I suppose you also carry that extra ipod with you to immediately check on your device?
Hmm, yeah it's usually in the car with me in case I want to listen to music and the iPhone is dead. I suppose if I needed Wi-Fi I could just drive into a McDonalds parking lot right? Those are only around every 2-5 mile radius around here.
I think the percentage of goofy criminals who are actually smart enough to remove a SIM card is lower than the percentage of people that sleep with their eyes open. Cylay has helped with robberies in the past.
Besides, what about the CDMA iPhone which does not carry a SIM?
Whenever a new sim is inserted into your idevice, it sends a text message to a secondary phone number you configured your setup with prior to activating the software. It's pretty simple really. Best part of the software is the ability to prevent thief from turning off the phone so the it can be tracked, no wonder this software is better suited for idevices; battery can't be removed so device stays on.

Our group began in June of 2007 with only a handful of people in Julington Creek Plantation. Now we have more than 125 volunteers which include representatives from our neighborhoods within Julington Creek Plantation, Durbin Crossing and other surrounding neighborhoods.
We have really lived up to our mission statement "Uniting the Community through helping others in need". The work we do has allowed us to team up with several of the schools and local churches in our community as well as local businesses such as Publix, Austin Outdoors, May Management, McDonald's, Nanak's Landscaping, Bono's, Pinch-A-Penny, Belk Department Store and VyStar Credit Union.
Since 2007 we have raised over $350,000 worth of charitable donations for many charities within St. Johns County and our volunteers have put in more than 6,700 community service hours. We are so excited to have continued our work into 2013 .
JCP CARES provides assistance to local charities and those in need through donations and time. We divide our charity efforts into four different categories; Animals & Environment, Senior & Medical, Children, and Homeless & Abused. We focus on one specific group per quarter from each of these categories throughout the year.
For the last five years we have also done an annual food drive in November and a "Giving Tree" to help all of our local charities during the holidays.
JCP CARES has recognized that a disparity exists among the families living in our county. Most people are not aware that state and federal funding is based on per capita income and St. Johns County is a very wealthy county due in large part to it's residents in the northern portion but more than 50% of the residents in the southern portion of the county are below poverty level.
Please check our website often as each initiative is planned we will add the details on how you can help. To find out more, please visit our Volunteer page.

Thank you to Newman's Own Foundation, Interline Brands,
