Nursing Scholarships
The US is lucky to have an abundance of resources which nursing students will find useful in order to gain that much needed funding to make it through nursing college, graduate specialization courses and even with travelling abroad. There are a few main types or categories of nursing scholarships or grants according to whom or what supplies them.
The first main category of nursing scholarships is those that are funded by the US government, for example by the Department of Health and Human Services. State governments too have funds available which are often targeted at specific populations in various states. The second type of scholarships is those granted by universities and colleges to their own students. This kind of financial aid can be given according to evidence of academic success or ability, or can simply be needs based. These grants or scholarships are not just for those studying nursing, but nursing students can also apply for them. Specific financial aid given to solely nursing students is given by Schools of Nursing. The School of Nursing will give funding to its undergraduate students, graduate students and sometimes postgraduate students.
Then there are copious nursing associations across the country according to which state they are in, for example the Texas Nurses Association who may give grants or scholarships to nursing students. National nursing associations are powerful groups that often have the best ability to fund nursing students successfully through their scholarship programs. There is, for example, the National Student Nurses Association, the Emergency Nurses Association, the American Nursing Association, the Association of Critical Care Nurses and the American Association of Legal Nurse Consultants.
If you identify yourself as a nursing student from a minority you might like to look into minority nursing associations who can aid you financially. In the US there is the National Black Nursing Association, the National American Arab Nursing Association, the Philippine Nursing Association of America and the National Association of Hispanic Nurses. Other minorities are represented too, as the American Assembly for Men in Nursing supports men looking for a rewarding career in nursing. Finally, there are lots of commercial and big businesses who find it in their interests to sponsor young and returning students to the nursing career. Researching them may be a brilliant way to find the financial aid you are looking for. For additional information, please see our Minority scholarships page.
Undergraduate Nursing Student Funding Possibilities
What follows is a summary of all the financial aid out there for undergraduate nursing students. There are a few general nursing scholarship aid opportunities. These are not targeted at specific sections of the community and can be applied for by any nursing student. Cherokee Uniforms is a commercial sponsor of nursing students who offer ten scholarships to those who watch an online video by them, then submit an essay along with an application form.
The American Association of Critical Care offers $1500 every year to nurses who are doing graduate degree programs or baccalaureate programs. The Health Professions Education Foundation offer a Bachelor of Science Scholarship and a repayment loan program. The National Health Service Corps, which is a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services, offers funding to nursing students serving in an area that is underserved. The National Student Nurses Association also offers help to those enrolled in a doctorate, diploma, masters, associate degree program or baccalaureate.
The Nurse Loan Repayment and Scholarship Program also helps nurses who are registered and working in an underserved area in a health facility. If you are enrolled in an accredited master's or doctoral program you may be able to get help from Nursing Educational Funds Inc. If you are studying a degree that will help to fight nursing home abuse then the Nursing Home Abuse organization can offer a $5000 scholarship for expenses not related to tuition. The Oncology Nursing Society Foundation helps those who have great academic ability studying for bachelor degrees.
Other organizations that can help fund any kind of nurse includes the Foundation of the National Student Nurses Association which offers $1000-5000 with the Promise of Nursing Undergraduate Education Scholarship. Another commercial sponsor of nurses is Tafford Uniforms who offer two scholarships every semester to students in a US accredited nursing program. See our General Scholarships page for additional resources.
Military Related Nurses Funding
The Army Nurse Corps Association offers scholarships for those who are training to be nurse anaesthetists and who are intending to serve in the US army. It also offers a Health Professions Loan Repayment Program. For those thinking of opportunities to study undergraduate nursing there are scholarships available from the Army ROTC Nursing Program for those with leadership ability. See our Air Force & Navy scholarships page for additional resources.
Nursing Funding for Minority Students
There is $50,000 on offer every year for minority students at local, regional and national levels from the Chi Eta Phi Sorority Inc. organization. The National Association of Hispanic Nurses and National Black Nurses Association both offer funding. The first offers Hispanic nurses who are studying at Master's level in a maternal-child nursing program the opportunity to share $2000. $1000 is also available for students studying for a more general nursing program including a baccalaureate. The National Black Nurses Association offers a student nurse the Student Nurse of the Year Award who is studying an advanced level nursing program or a baccalaureate.
Location Based Sponsored Programs
The Indian Health Service is offering to repay undergraduate and graduate loans for those who confirm that they will spend full time clinical service in an Indian health program. Closer to home, the Maryland State Nursing School offers residents of Maryland an undergraduate or graduate degree in nursing with funding. See our scholarships by State and College page for additional information
Remembering FAFSA and SAR for Nursing Students
The FAFSA is the application form to fill out to get access to Federal Student Aid, which is offered by the US Department of Education. They are the biggest provider of student funding in the US and work with $150 billion which they give out to more than 15 million students looking for financial help. Their central office includes about 1200 employees, whose job it is to inform students and families about financial aid available to them, to support them through the application process and to let them know how they receive their funding. This funding is of course not just for nursing students, but nursing students can definitely apply for it as there are certain programs just for nursing students. To be eligible for any of these programs, you have to fill out a FAFSA form, which is free to do online. They also offer free support throughout the process.
The FAFSA form is a way for the government to assess your financial capabilities, from which they will be able to calculate how much financial aid they can offer you. One of the most popular programs for nursing students is the Nursing Scholarship Program provided by the Health Resources and Services Administration. This government loan will cover your fees, supplies, any needed books and stipends. To be eligible for this type of program you will have to be a US citizen who has been accepted or enrolled in a professional nursing program that is accredited. You should not have been delinquent on federal debts. Also, you should not be subject to federal judgment lien. To make sure you are in with a good chance of getting a scholarship you should make sure your GPA stays high and that you keep your finances in good order and try to limit the amount of debt you have. It also helps to prove that you are genuinely or really interested in the field of nursing by volunteering at an appropriate location like a clinic, hospital or day-care center.
When filling out the FAFSA be aware that you should never be expected to pay for the right, (those sites that ask you to pay are often scam sites). You should be aware of the deadline which may vary according to what school or subject you are studying. To prepare for filling out the form you should get a form of ID ready, like a driver's license. Also, have all the information and proof you need about your financial and educational past. Past financial information can be proven by past bank statements, income tax returns and also dependent students should be able to supply information on their parents' finances. Once the form is completed and processed you and your school will be given a Student Aid Report which will let your school calculate the EFC, which stands for your Expected Family Contribution. The EFC lets the school know what kind of financial aid package they should prepare for you.
Remember that on top of this scholarship you may still be eligible for other types of federal student loans, grants and scholarships, as well as work/study programs offered by your state or school.
General Information on Applying for a Scholarship
There are several things to think about when applying for a nursing scholarship. If you need to submit an essay you need to know how best to write an award winning submission. Help from your teachers and from other students will be essential in doing this. There is also a lot of information online for your parents and family if they wish to know how best they can help you during this process. Information on tax credits and studying abroad is also useful.
Nursing is a very specialized field to enter into. Remember also that scholarships and grants is money that you do not have to pay back, so getting one of these is really a bonus, and applying for them locally is the easiest option. Naturally, loans for education come with low interest rates but you may be able to have the fee waivered if you choose to work in an underserved area or in low-income communities. Avoid any scholarship scams that claim to have a monopoly on information, expect any payment for the scholarship or suggest that there is no application process. A financial aid counsellor is always a great person to talk to if you are unsure.
There are several ways to calculate how much your college costs are going to be. There is Finaid which helps you work out how much your EFC contribution will be. The ACT's Financial Need Estimator is free online and will work out your family contribution and costs at certain institutions. It's best to start as soon as possible to get funding for your nursing qualification as you need to meet tight deadlines and research takes time. The forms take time to fill in and this must be done as thoroughly as possible to succeed. There will always be the chance to work part time during your degree, say ten to fifteen hours per week, to help you, but not working so you can dedicate as much time to studying as possible is preferable. Some students might like the idea of gaining experience in whatever kind of setting they can get however that is relevant to the nursing career. This could involve working in a college library or at a medical center, perhaps in an administration or voluntary role.

N.C. State will play its next seven basketball games at home.
How successful an inexperienced Wolfpack team will be during this homestand, which starts Saturday against Campbell, depends on how much it learned from Tuesdays 68-57 road loss at Cincinnati.
The Wolfpack led the Bearcats 48-46 with 11 minutes left in the game but then managed just two field goals in a six-minute span and was outscored 22-9 over the final 10 minutes of the game.
We played with them for 30 minutes, sophomore point guard Tyler Lewis said. Then we got out of our offense.
Junior Ralston Turner, who scored 13 points, knew the Cincinnati game would be a test for the young team. He said there were signs the Wolfpack can put together a strong team.
I think we did a lot of good things, Turner said. We did enough to give ourselves a chance to win the game, we just didnt execute at the right time.
A major part of the Wolfpacks problem was at the foul line. State made just 12 of 21 free throws against Cincinnati, including a 3-of-9 stretch in the second half.
Turner hit four 3-pointers which kept the Wolfpack in shouting distance for much of the game on Tuesday. Turner said the Pack needs to keep its offense going for the whole game, not just 30 minutes.
We learned down the stretch that execution is important, Turner said. We need to do a better job closing out the game.
Sophomore forward T.J. Warren had 10 rebounds and finished with 13 points in 37 minutes.
But Warren shot 33 percent (5 of 15) from the floor and is being counted on for more than 13 points.
Hes going to have to score more than 13 points for us to win, said Lewis, who had seven points and three assists. He knows that, I know that and everybody in the crowd knows that.
Lewis said the team needs to use the next seven home games to hone their offense before a road trip to Tennessee on Dec. 18.
In addition to Campbell, the Wolfpack will play N.C. Central, Florida Gulf Coast, Eastern Kentucky, Northwestern, Long Beach State and Detroit.
Florida Gulf Coast was the only team that made the NCAA tournament field last year but Detroit and Long Beach were both NIT teams last year and Northwestern hired former Duke assistant Chris Collins in the offseason.
Whether people know it or not, those are good teams, Turner said. We will be challenged.

Snoring isn't a new phenomenon. People have complained about this age-old problem and its affect on their relationships, energy level, and cardiovascular health for centuries. In fact, until recently there were just a few remedies to choose from. If you went to a sleep center, they'd provide diagnostic testing and send you home with a CPAP machine. If you visited a dental sleep center, you'd get an oral appliance. And, if you saw a surgeon, your only treatment option would be surgery. At ChicagoENT, we offer you all those treatment options, plus other minimally invasive and highly effective solutions like Palatal Stiffening and the Pillar Procedure.

Is it possible I'm both or neither? My veins look blue, my skin is fair but it neither tans nor gets red, my eyes and hair are golden brown and I look great in jewel tones... maybe it's a mixed thing, my dad has gray/hazel eyes, dark warm skin, but it burns and doesn't tan!

Technically, I'm a warm, but I think I'm actually more of a neutral since I can wear some shades that warm's shouldn't. Plus, silver looks best on me.

My skin is cool, but my hair and eyes are warm. I gravitate towards wearing browns and greens, so I always figured I was an autumn. Maybe I'm neutral too? I could probably use a color consultant. :P

Cool — you are a, well, cool! You look best in foundation that has a bluish or pink undertone. If you fall under this category, you generally should stick to jewel tones such as blue, purple, blue-green, green, magenta, and bluish-red. You'd probably wear white shirts over ivory ones, and black mascara makes your eyes pop.

My mom was completely into getting your colors "done." In fact my graduation present from undergrad was that she took me to a Beauty for All Seasons consultant and had them figure out my best colors. I forget exactly what my season name is but I got a palate of color swatches that are flattering on me, it's really handy when I go shopping.

I got warm but I'm never 100% sure what I am. Sometimes I think I must be a neutral. I also can't really tell the difference between how gold and silver look on me.
rabidmoon 6 years
I always prefer cooler tones (grey, black, white, jeweltone blues..) and I have blue eyes but almost grey. I prefer silver to gold but I think that is more just my tastes. I burn easily, but I can tan too, I just prefer not to. Complicating this is I was born nearly white-blonde, but have coloured my hair for like 20 years, I am naturally dark blonde but look better (in my opinion) as a brunette. Its always been hard for me to narrow it down because my skin has always been wierd...if its possible to be pale, and pinkish, but with YELLOW undertones, that is what I am. Anything olive or muddy washes me out badly...I need pale yellow-based foundations, and I look far, far better in black or white than yellows, beiges, creams, browns, oranges or anything else warmish. I think its my heritage...I am literally a mix of English, Scottish, German, American Indian and Italian....my dad really shows his Italian blood, and my mom was totally the pale beauty type.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This all naturally protected route is a direct start to the almost forgotten multi-pitch route "Boots of Spanish Rubber" established by Kimball and Suzuki in 1984. It starts from the ground just left of the Central Chimney in a small, left-facing dihedral which turns left into an undercling roof. After passing the roof on the left, it traverses right on a thin crack (#2 TCU) to reach the flakes where Boots has its 5.11 crux for a few feet. This section of Boots is rated 11 R but protects well with small cams and nuts, although it is an insecure place to stop and place gear. The route traverses left above the flakes to the bolt placed for a belay on Riders on the Storm. This bolt was replaced and given a ring hanger which is equalized with a large nut in the crack just above to make a two piece anchor for this one-pitch test piece.
Cams from #3 Camalot to #2 TCU are helpful, and this route is a sew-up if wanted.

Agent Andrew Kessler informed The AP hours after the first day of Seattle's training camp ended.
A team spokesman confirmed only that the Seahawks had agreed to terms with the 21-year-old Thomas, drafted 14th overall.
Thomas posted on his Twitter account late Saturday: "the deal is finally done bout to go sign the paperwork now....ow-w-w let's do it."
Seattle's likely starting safety says he will be on the field for Sunday afternoon's third practice of camp.
When asked after the second practice Saturday evening when he wanted him in camp, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll chucked and said, "Yesterday."
Seattle second of two first-round picks in April's draft left Texas as an All-American two years early to buy his parents a new home. They were displaced by a hurricane in 2005 and have lived cramped in a tiny bedroom of Thomas' grandparents' house in Orange, Texas.
But not everything was perfect on Carroll's first day running Seattle's preseason: Sixth-overall pick Russell Okung remained unsigned.
Peter Schaffer, Okung's agent, had been hopeful Seattle's replacement for retired left tackle Walter Jones would be on the field Saturday. Schaffer said if it didn't happen, "it won't be for a lack of effort on our part."
Carroll said the Seahawks were "checking hourly" on the progress on negotiations with Okung's representatives.
"It's very, very difficult on those guys I know," Carroll said of both top picks, hours before Thomas agreed to his contract. "Both those guys are guys who want to be here in the worst way.
"But our focus goes to the guys who are here, of course. ... I know we made very strong attempts to get this done prior to camp."
Seattle was without last year's top pick, linebacker Aaron Curry, for the first eight days of 2009's training camp because of an impasse in contract negotiations. The fourth-overall selection eventually signed for $34 million guaranteed.
Thomas and Okung became the sixth and seventh of Seattle's last nine first-round picks to be late for camp.
Curry said he doesn't begrudge the two rookies.
"I would just tell them to be patient," Curry said. "What they are asking is their right as players, and they deserve every dollar that they can get. This is the business of the game. The business is all about numbers. When it comes to numbers, you've got to protect yourself, because you never know when this can end for you."
Okung had a salary slot seemingly set for him. Eric Berry got $34 million guaranteed from Kansas City as the fifth pick. And seventh-overall choice Joe Haden received $26 million from Cleveland.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- Problem after problem has prevented kids in the heart of Illinois from learning how to fish at the Hooked on Fishing Park in East Peoria.
The park's opening date was originally pushed back a month to June 1st due to flood damages from the Illinois River.
Now, due to internal pond flooding, they've seen even more delays.
Volunteers say they are in the final stages of recovering nearly $20,000 in damages, which includes restocking the pond with nearly 600 different fish.
Park officials say they are the largest fishing education organization in Illinois, and they hope to brings hundreds of more visitors once the park opens next month.
"It is disheartening. We are going to lose 2 months of great weather. The whole month of June we had at least two groups signed up every single day, and we've had to turn them down until we can re-open the park," Hooked on Fishing Park Director Bob Quinn said.
The Hooked on Fishing Park's official re-opening is set for July 1, and their first big event, The Kid's Fishing Derby, is set for July 6.

Ref: Tip Leads Special Enforcement Team to Distribution of Marijuana Arrest
Date: 02/11/2011
On February 7th the San Juan County Special Enforcement Team (SET) received a tip regarding individual selling marijuana. "The tip was very detailed," explained Deputy Daniel Clark, SET Member. "They were able to give us a very clear description of the residence, vehicles and the individual himself."
When members of the SET arrived at the home to speak with the resident Roark admitted to selling. "He informed us that he had even sold at least ½ of an ounce that same day," continued Clark. "He then led us to several locations throughout the residence where he had hidden marijuana. Marijuana was found hidden in coffee cans, a cereal box, inside a camper as well as on his person."
The SET found a total of 1,580 grams of marijuana with a street value of approximately $15,000. Team members also seized more than $1,200 in cash.
Late yesterday afternoon, David Roark (age 58) a resident of Farmington was arrested for Distribution of Marijuana, a 4th degree Felony.

text: By KTSA News Staff The call has gone out--and fast food workers from San Antonio are adding their voices to a push for raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour. "They're putting the forward the standards for what the mimimum wage is" said Service Employees International Union State Director Alejandro Guzman of the motivation behind the demonstrations taking place around the state and country. He told 550 KTSA News the current system is simply unfiar--when you compare the workers to their CEO's. "These people are raving in profits... these CEO's--their making not millions--but billions fo dollars in profits" Guzman said. A number of local workers and activists climbed aboard buses in San Antonio Thursday Morning for a drive north to take part in the demonstration taking place in Austin. "It's a big problem--These young people, they work hard. They use this money to compensate for college. They need to have an increase in wages" one woman told 550 KTSA News. Another is hoping the turnout will speak volumes to policy makers. '"The more bodies they see--the more they'll do about it" she said. However--there are critics of the push. "Margins in this industry are razor thin as it is--especially in fast food--because they don't have alcohol to help mitgate some of those costs to goods" said Texas-based restaurant consultant Kyle Noonan. He told 550 KTSA News such a pay increase would mean your favorite value meal would probably more than double in price--and the workers themselves might also end up paying a heavy price. "It would lead to either layoffs... or a best case scenario would be just a hiring freeze" Noonan said.

NEW YORK — Pete Carroll finished the week undefeated and untied in press conferences.
As he has been all week, the Seahawks coach was again a media all-star Monday morning. This time, he was standing next to the shiny Super Bowl trophy carrying the name Vince Lombardi.
And again, he was invited to explain -- or in some cases, defend -- his coaching style. Consider it another example that Carroll might be widely quoted but still remains misunderstood as an NFL coach.
In the context of the trophy's namesake, the perception is that Carroll could not be further from embracing the precepts that led to Lombardis name being carved on the game's most important symbol.
Let us remind readers that Bart Starr passed for more yards in Super Bowl I (250) than Russell Wilson (206) did in Super Bowl XLVIII, and Carroll's Seahawks rushed for more yards (135) than Lombardi's (133).
So the concept that Carroll is a new-age revolutionary coach is laughable. Music at practices and a genial relationship with his players doesn't change the fact that Carroll accepts nothing less than unrelenting competitiveness and a hunger to pound the will from opponents with physical play.
Yes, some of Lombardi's most famous quotes were about winning. Carroll never mentions it, focusing on competing and improving every day. He addresses the means rather than result.
And in the end, the Seahawks 43-8 Super Bowl win against Denver turned out to be less competitive than a typical Wednesday practice during the season, and their final game of the season was won by their most lopsided margin of the year.
After a night in which "sleep wasn't in order," Carroll arrived characteristically animated, but, remarkably, once again had to place Sundays win in the context of his firing as head coach of the Jets 20 seasons ago. It was the thousandth time the topic was disinterred this week.
Carroll could have been excused for prefacing his answer with "Why I oughta take this trophy and shove it " but instead he laughed and graciously expanded. It didnt dampen my spirits, it didnt slow me down I hate to learn the hard way but sometimes that has to happen.
Carroll is at his best when he probes what is at the heart of this team, and what drives them, and what were the keys to taking a five-win team in disarray to the pinnacle of the sport in just four seasons.
He pointed to touchdowns scored Sunday by undrafted free agents Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin, and an interception return for a score by linebacker Malcolm Smith, a seventh-round pick who became the game's MVP.
They were "not the heralded guys coming in, (but who) competed in our program and found a way to contribute enormously, he said.
Nothing could better reflect the goal of finding players with that molten nugget of competitiveness at their core.
By stressing that every game, every play, every snap in practice is a chance to compete, the notion of expecting excellence is spliced onto their DNA.
"This is exactly what we envisioned from Day One," Carroll said Monday. "That may sound cocky, that may sound arrogant, but its a mentality that you cant get in one week (before a big game). This team has that foundation and that understanding. Not one of these guys are surprised about that.
"It's a long process to bring those guys into that mentality and it comes from a very strict, disciplined approach. Thats how theyve learned it."
And as the winning was expected, the aftermath has been planned.
"I think we are in a very fortunate situation, (GM) John Schneider has done an extraordinary job of structuring this roster looking ahead so we can keep these guys together," Carroll said. "One of the things that happens so often is teams have a big fallout after they win the Super Bowl. And were not in that situation. Weve done this with foresight so we would be prepared, and well get going on the next challenge."
How soon?
"The first meeting well have will be" Tuesday, Carroll said. "Our guys would be surprised if we didn't. We really have our eye on whats coming."
Not another trophy, but the start of a journey in that direction.

This thread just gave me an idea that doesn't neatly fit Trek canon exactly, where Starfleet is human-centric as before but the advanced humans are descendants of survivors of a disaster or war that knocked Earth's civilization back to the Stone Age millennia ago with the exception of those in space at the time, most of whom, aside from a few researchers here and there, were involved in the asteroid-mining industry or space tourism. They were greatly saddened by the situation on Earth but couldn't really help much and decided not to openly interact.
They survived in space and in remote areas of the Earth, and their population and infrastructure grew. Contact with the Vulcans resulted in friendly relations and technological assistance, and they made protecting Earth their primary mission while letting its society naturally progress, learning its lessons the hard way, thinking that someday the new society would be ready for contact. The Vulcans deemed that a logical approach and offered their assistance.
All members of that space-based human society are members of Starfleet, and they do spend time on 21st-century Earth but strictly obey the Prime Directive, which in this scenario treats Earth's population as a prewarp culture. Earth, as a special case, is officially a Federation World, a founding member, even though the Federation only deals with Starfleet, while the planet remains off-limits to off-worlders.
So the idea is that this could lead to a different kind of Trek series, where Starfleet looks pretty much like 24th-century Trek of TNG, DS9, and VOY, but it's our 21st-century with some stories based on happenings in space but much of it involving close plain-clothes observation by Starfleet personnel of events on Earth, which would presumably be less expensive to produce for weekly episodic TV than previous Trek series.
Maybe it's not a good idea, just something worked out so far only in the course of typing these few paragraphs. Maybe someone has suggested something like it before (maybe numerous times). I wouldn't know. I guess it would be classified as a reboot but one in which the look and feel of Trek wouldn't have to change much, although canon would be pretty much a blank slate, allowing the writers to reinstate some previous canon at their discretion while building new canon (with the planet Vulcan still long thriving and prosperous, not destroyed by Tabasco Sauce).

Price Scrimmage Between the Supermarket and the Supercenter
October 12, 2011 | Posted By: Shannen Bayless | Categorized in: Shopping, Couponing
About a month ago, Super Walmart opened up in our town, and while its now convenient to have this super center in our town, Im still finding better deals at some local super markets.
Supermarkets vs. SupercentersI decided to conduct a bit of an experiment this week and compared Super Walmart prices with the supermarket Logli/Schnucks where Ive been doing a lot of my shopping since I started coupon shopping.
Here is what I bought at Logli last Thursday evening. This grocery store doubles coupons up to 55 cents. I also did some of my weekend shopping here, so youll notice some items I did not have coupons for.
My total at Logli came to $43.56 after tax and after $6 back in Catalinas to use this week!!! This store also has a loyalty card program which gives me discounts on fuel at Mobile stations, so even though a few things might have been more expensive, I was able to earn points on my card.
Monday morning, I made a trip to Super Walmart and this is what I found:
My total at Super Walmart would have been $56.83 plus tax and after coupons.
Here's the comparison of the stores side-by-side:
As you can see some things were cheaper at Logli and with my coupons they were even a bigger discount (soup and Totinos pizza rolls). Some things were also more expensive, but after my coupons were doubled, they were actually cheaper or the same price as items at Walmart (Sargento products). So I had about a $13 dollar savings by shopping at a supermarket, which doesnt seem like a lot, but when you add it up over a year, it makes a huge difference on my grocery bill.
Bargain BuysTarget has some good $5 gift card offers going on this week. They also have 79 cent Tazo Tea (9-11 SS) 33 cent travel size Tide (10-2 P & G), 62 cent Gerber Graduates (after printable from coupons.com). Also select Suave products are as low as 92 cents (10-2 RP). Check out Walgreens for moneymaker Halls lozenges (9-18 SS), free Arrid deodorant, possible free Covergirl products (10-2 P &G), and $1.50 Listerine Smart Rinse (10-9 RP).
FatWallet tip: This post is part of an ongoing series of posts for the couponers and those who wanna be couponers! You may access all the posts on Shannen's author page. Please be sure to check out the grocery coupons and deals forum here on FatWallet to get great deals and connect with other couponers!

Soon the grocery stores will close and you won't have a choice. Just wait. Here we have Winn-dixie, Publix and Walmart. ALL High and none offer double coupons.
October 12, 2011 | Posted By: mlissy4u
Very interesting article. Good to know. Yes, gives me yet another reason not to go to Walmart, I hate Walmart! Now another interesting comparison would be Logli vs. Aldi's. I am new to this whole grocery shopping thing, so I have no idea what's a deal and what's not. Wish me luck! :)
October 12, 2011 | Posted By: shaunalewis78
I certainly hope to continue to have options in grocery shopping, but I guess time will tell. I hope to do a comparison between Logli and Aldi sometime soon as well. I do know that some things are less expensive at Aldi, but I also know that by watching the sales and using my coupons at Logli or even Super Walmart, I'm able to get name brand items cheaper sometimes.

Atlanta Motor Speedway is fast, challenging and bumpy, and it also features multiple grooves which allows drivers to race side-by-side. In essence, it's a driver's track – and it's one of Jeff Gordon's favorite tracks to compete on.
So during his weekly media session on Friday, Gordon was passionate about the need to keep Atlanta just the way it is and not fall victim to the latest trend in NASCAR: Tracks unnecessarily repaving their racing surfaces.
"I feel like we're hurting this sport by doing all these repaves," Gordon said.
In the last six years alone, 10 different tracks have undergone some sort of repaving/reconfiguration. However, Atlanta is one of the few tracks which has not – and it's not a coincidence that drivers say the racing on the 1.5-mile oval is some of the best on the Sprint Cup Series circuit.
The frequency at which tracks are repaving their surfaces is "extremely disappointing to me," Gordon said.
"I feel like it's challenging Goodyear in ways that has to be frustrating to them," he said. "It challenges the teams and everybody. And it takes away from putting the best race out there as well.
"We come here and this place is old, worn-out, cracks everywhere and yet every driver loves it. We're slipping and sliding around and the racing is pretty spectacular."
Gordon acknowledged it is sometimes inevitable for tracks to have to resurface for reasons out of their control. Daytona, for example, had issues with a pothole during the 2010 edition of the Daytona 500.
But what Gordon wants is for tracks to be mindful of what a repave will do to the caliber of the racing. And when a repave is necessary, Gordon hoped tracks would use a different material than is currently being used (other drivers have said recent repaves are almost too good because the tracks don't wear out).
"I just hope that more tracks aren't looking at when they're going to repave, but how you accomplish what's out there right now with a repave," Gordon said. "Because we're paving these race tracks with what we're trying to pave highways with – and this is not a highway. This is a racetrack and I think the whole model of repaving needs to be rethought and readjusted.
"I know we can come up with better surfaces – not longer-lasting surfaces – but one that is better for racing and what we're looking for as drivers, teams and fans."

For Your Consideration: Incredulous

If anyone is bothering to keep up with the antics of the government and the various bureaucracies, they are surely finding it harder and harder to accept the explanations that are being given for what is going on' if this trend continues in the current vein it will erode any trust a citizen has in the stated objectives of the government.
With each passing generation it is becoming clearer that our government is not here to serve the public, but rather for the public to serve the government. The individual's freedom is rapidly dissipating, and the individual is increasingly becoming a ward of the state; this is just what our Founders warned us about when they drafted the Declaration of Independents and Constitution. It would appear that the government's motivation is to turn the individual into a responsible ward of the state, the only conclusion that one can draw from this is that the government does not want individuals to develop into self-reliant responsible individuals that have little or no need for government or its bureaucratic agencies.
Given mans' predilection to abuse the concept of freedom, it is doubtful that the species will ever be able to totally remove the need for government.
The problem with the course that the government is taking at this point is that it is enabling a segment of the population, the government, to run free with the various behaviors that need to be blocked within a society. How often does man need to go through this cycle to realize that it winds up in the same place, with two distinctive classes, the privileged (the government) and the serfs (the general population).
The contrast between the wages in the private sector and those in the public sector has been cited frequently, these comparisons have shown that the public sector has a distinct advantage over those in the private sector. The rationale given for this divergence is that it's necessary to get highly qualified personnel, but one has to question this reasoning given the performance results within many of the government agencies.
There are two major distinct differences between the public and private sectors; it's almost impossible to discharge a worker in the public sector, and many of the fringe benefits far exceed those of the private sector.
It would appear that it's not important to provide an improved service at a lower cost; the government seems to function under the concept that additional capital is required. When an increase in funding is received the effectiveness is decreased; however, the wages, benefits, and bonuses continue to go up. Care should be exercised in not applying the generalized statements to all public service workers; there are many public service workers that are just as frustrated as the people they are trying to serve.
There are steps that can be taken to improve the public sector, and just about anyone in the private sector that has a grasp on most of the basic management principles could point out the shortcomings within the public sector. The first thing that should be corrected is the inability to discharge a worker that is not performing up to a given standard. The standards at this point become a very important part of this factor; the standards should be clear and concise, taking into consideration the level attained and the amount of time a worker has had on the job and the training that has been provided. There are many variables that need to be applied in this portion of the evaluation, and just as much attention should be givern to the standards to ensure that the standards are fulfilling the desired results. This last evaluation requires a manager with good management skills. Wages, benefits, and bonuses should be tied to work performance and length of service; this is another area that requires a great deal of thought if it is going to function correctly. It would be nice to see these basic points being addressed by the administration, but this outcome does not seem likely.

The Supreme Court: Nipples, Crack, Blacks, and $18 Million Fines
In a previous entry, I discussed the Court's ruling in Knox v. SEIU regarding assessment fees by the union with respect to political advocacy and whether a non-member's First Amendment rights were violated as a result of these assessments. The Court ruled that their rights were violated. However, most of the coverage of the Supreme Court yesterday by the lamestream media centered around the long | Read More »

Where did I say that half of the people living off the working taxpayers are all on welfare?<quoted text>
<quoted text>
You definition of welfare seems to vary from post to post.
It is true, half of our population is living off of the taxpayers. That doesn't mean welfare the way I define it. Again, welfare to me are programs one doesn't pay into ( or paid little into )but gets plenty out of.
I don't consider our disabled veterans on welfare. They earned everything they get. I don't consider people who worked their entire lives paying into SS and Medicare as welfare. I DO consider Medicaid welfare because it's free healthcare likely being used by the non-working. I don't consider people who collect SS disability as welfare because those people likely paid into the system while they were working. The problem I have with SS disability today is that some of these people can work, but fall within the guidelines of being able to collect. Let me give you some personal examples:
One of my tenants is a guy around my age, and he's been on SS disability since he moved in three years ago. He fell in love with this girl from Australia. She spent half of the summer here. Now he wants to stay with her in Australia for a month or so, but didn't have the money. He found a job to pay for that trip. He can only work X amount of hours before it interferes with his SS checks, but he's working.
My neighbor is legally deaf. She and her deaf live-in boyfriend are both collecting SS disability. However, her family owns a restaurant that she works at. During the summer, she goes all over the country working rib cook-offs. In the winter, she works at the restaurant.
The point I make here is that people like my tenant and neighbor can work, it's just they don't have to if they don't feel like it. Legally, they are within the parameters of being able to collect instead. If one can work part-time, then why not full-time? One more:
I'm evicting one of my tenants. They are not married but have two children. She collects $250.00 in food stamps every month. But they both smoke, support their 15 year old daughters cigarette habit, have high-speed internet and cable, and have three cats and a very large dog. We taxpayers are paying to provide food to this family, and they are providing dog and cat food plus kitty litter for their animals. You don't see anything wrong with our safety net system?

Photo Flash: Sneak Peek at Cavalier Gallery's FARBERESQUE: FROM PENSIVE TO PROVOCATIVE Photography Exhibition
Cavalier Gallery has announced Farberesque: From Pensive to Provocative, a solo show by famed photographer Robert Farber covering over four decades of his extraordinary career. Scroll down for a selection of photograph sfrom the exhibition!
While best known for his work with the nude, the exhibition will feature newly released prints of his classic fashion images, selections from his Americana series, as well as, a group of his vintage SX70 Polaroids. Also Included will be images of his beloved New York City and a selection of images from a number of his books, including a preview of images from an upcoming new book release.
The show will open with an artist reception on Thursday, January 30th from 6pm - 8pm with 10 percent of the evening's sales benefiting the National Meningitis Association with their mission to raise awareness about meningitis, a vaccine-preventable disease hosted by Mr. Farber, Ron Cavalier, gallery owner, with special guest hosts Lynn Bozof, NMA President and NMA Gala Chairs Sara Herbert Galloway & Barry Klarberg, Errol Rappaport and Gary Springer along with Fairweather Magazine's, Alexandra Fairweather and Eric Goodman.
Farber's painterly, impressionistic style allows the viewer to see the subject from a different perspective by creating unique compositions. This is clearly demonstrated in the artist's work with female nudes. Fellow photographer, the late Arnold Newman explains why Farber's work stands out compared to so many others, "He is one of the very few who is able to delight and pleasure us in this elusive approach to nature. From abstraction to realism he reveals to us his love of the female form. His delightful and beautiful photographs offer a unique pleasure". Although he began introducing nudes in his advertising work in the 1970s, Farber combined his fine art approach to photographing nudes, and advertising when he was commissioned to shoot the famed cover of Newsweek's breast cancer issue.
Farber also brings his romantic style to landscapes through his Americana series. By forcing the viewer to look at the images in a different way the artist hopes to show the heart and soul of America; a perspective he also applies to his New York Series. Farber hopes that his unique take on composition and style allow the viewer to experience the excitement, nostalgia, the grit and the elegance of the city.
Robert Farber's style has influenced generations of photographers. His painterly, impressionistic style captures the essence of composition in every genre, including nudes, still life, landscapes and architecture. His ten photo art books have sold over half a million copies.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis brought Farber into Doubleday for the publication of his book "By The Sea," which won the Art Director's Award for color photography. Aside from numerous creative awards, Robert Farber also received the Photographer of the Year from PMA (Photographic Manufacturers Association), ASP International Award from the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) and The American Society of Photographers.
This award was given to those who've made a significant contribution to the science and art of photography. Some previous recipients of this award include Dr. Edwin Land (inventor of the Polaroid), George Hurrell, and National Geographic. Recently, Canon presented Farber's work in a solo exhibition at CONTEXT Art Miami 2013.
Farber's work with nudes in fine art as well as in the commercial realm is known and respected. He has lectured for Ogilvy & Mather on the "Nude in Advertising." ASMP requested to use Farber's nudes as an example of the artistic application in support of the National Endowment of Arts, after its backing of the controversial Mapplethorpe/Serrano exhibit. His book, "Farber Nudes," was also included the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis estate collection.
Farber's work has been exhibited in galleries and museums world-wide. He has lectured at the Smithsonian Institute, The George Eastman House as well as Universities and professional groups around the world. He has received the Photographer of the Year Award from the Photographic Manufacturers Association, the ASP International Award from the Professional Photographers of America and the American Society of Photographers. Recently, Canon presented Farber's work in a solo exhibition at Art Miami and CONTEXT Art Miami 2013. A documentary highlighting the artist is currently in development for PBS and will air September 2014.
About the Gallery: Now in its 27th year, Cavalier Galleries continues to offer an unparalleled variety of contemporary fine art at premier exhibition spaces in Greenwich, Nantucket, and New York.
