Although I am a Dave Ramsey follower, I won't give up this card for groceries and gas. With a family of 6, I've made over $500 in cash back this year, and will do even better next year, even with the cutoff coming. I pay it off weekly online.
Cashing in at the Supermarket: Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express Review

Earning rewards from your credit cards is a lot like earning interest on your investments. Cardholders should look for the highest returns possible considering the amount they spend and the type of merchants they frequent. They then need to balance these rewards against any fees assessed on their cards. The Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express offers as much as 6% cash back rewards for your spending at a time when many reward cards only offer 1%-2% cash back. (Terms and restrictions apply.)
Preferred's Cash Back Percentages
Like many credit cards, customers earn 1% cash back on purchases from most retailers, but it is the bonus categories that make this card stand out. (All cash back is earned as Reward Dollars that can be used as a statement credit.)
3% cash back is earned at gas stations and select department stores.
A whopping 6% cash back is earned from purchases from supermarkets, not including warehouse or discount stores. How good is that? Let's just say that some people were taking this discount so far that American Express recently imposed a $6,000 annual cap on eligible purchases. After earning $360 (6% of 6,000) in cash back from supermarkets, cardholders will now earn just 1% on subsequent purchases.
Finally, new cardholders earn $100 in Reward Dollars after spending $1,000 within the first three months of opening their account.
Other Benefits
Because Blue is an American Express card, you can expect a wide range of other benefits beyond simple cash back.
- First, you have the standard rental card loss and damage insurance that most cards offer. But in addition, you also receive a roadside assistance policy that covers things like having your car jump started, a flat tire changed, or even a towing.
- Cardholders also receive travel accident insurance that covers any kind of common carrier transportation when paid for with their card.
- Finally, there is a 24/7 global assist hotline that can provide help when you are traveling.
There is a $75 annual fee for this card and a 2.7% foreign transaction fee on all charges processed outside of the United States.
- Sign up bonus. $150 Reward Dollars (redeemable for a statement credit) is not the greatest sign up bonus ever, but it is still pretty nice easy money. The fact that the minimum spending requirement to earn the bonus is only $1,000 of spending in three months makes this offer even better.
- Bonus cash back. This card is the leader in providing extra cash back rewards on most common purchases such as those at supermarkets, gas stations, and select department stores.
- 0% intro APR. Get 0% on purchases and balance transfers for 15 months. (Then it goes to a variable rate, currently 12.99% to 21.99%, depending on creditworthiness and other factors.)
- Reasonable annual fee. $75 is a significant annual fee, but considering that the cash back rewards are so high, it is not out of line with many leading reward cards.
- Generous benefits. Many cards come with a roadside assistance policy that merely calls for help, but this card will pay for many types of problems. Likewise, the travel accident insurance will cover you when you use the card to pay for trips in buses, boats, trains, airplanes, and even helicopters.
- Foreign transaction fees. Simply put, this fee is a complete rip-off. Many other banks are getting rid of these charges, but American Express continues to retain this fee on all but their Platinum and Centurion cards. Until they join the crowd and eliminate this fee, I will keep calling them out on it.
- Mediocre interest rates. After the intro period, cardholders receive an APR of between 12.99% and 21.99%, depending on their credit worthiness. There are other cards with lower interest rates best suited to those who carry a balance.
- Restrictions on bonus cash back. If you normally shop at warehouse or discount stores, you will not see much of the bonus cash back from this card. Likewise, if you pay more to shop elsewhere in order to receive the bonuses, you aren't really saving any money. Finally, the annual limit makes it impossible to treat this card like a cash cow by purchasing gift cards at supermarkets for use elsewhere.
Who This Card Is Best For
This card, like all reward cards, is not for those who carry a balance on their credit cards. If you do, you should focus on finding a low interest card and paying off your debt.
For everyone else, the key to this card is figuring out if you normally spend enough on the bonus categories to easily justify the annual fee. For example, if you spend $50 per week at grocery stores, or $2,600 per year, you will earn $156 of cash back each year. Those who spend $50 per week at stand-alone gas stations will earn $78 per year in cash back.
Note: If you do the math and come out way ahead, this might be the cash back card for you. But if the numbers don't work, you might want to consider the "Everyday" version of this card, the Blue Cash Everyday Card® from American Express. Sure, the bonuses are less, but there is no annual fee.
Once you have considered how these cards will work for your budget, you can choose the card that will give you the most cash back in the end.
Editorial Note: Any opinions, analyses, reviews or recommendations expressed in this article are those of the author's alone, and have not been reviewed, approved or otherwise endorsed by any card issuer.
I recently opened a Blue Cash Preferred AMEX account, and they offered me a 0% APR introductory rate for the first 12 months. Although there is an annual fee (which I usually don't like paying for), I feel like the perks you get from having the card more than pay for it (especially if you maximize the cash back).
I have been using the amex blue cash for several years now. I use it to pay for gas, groceries, restaurants & etc... As you mentioned in your post, Amex cards are really great for renting cars because their insurance policy is probably the best if something happened to your rental car.

52 Weekend Getaways: Warren, VT
Country fare.
Sure, Vermont has a ton of farms and food producers, but not all of the state is fruit stands and pick-your-own produce. Far from it: For a decidedly refined culinary expedition, hole up at Warren's Pitcher Inn, where a world-class wine list and a tony dining room await. Staying there also puts you within striking distance of Hen of the Wood in Waterbury, where chef Eric Warnstedt creates stunning dishes from local meats, vegetables, and cheeses. Meanwhile, he's also one of the forces behind spectacular al fresco dining events (like the one pictured). How 'bout them apples?

Hundreds pay tribute at funeral of Haworth mum Lorna Clymo
6:00am Thursday 13th February 2014 in News
Several hundred people gathered to pay their respects at the funeral of tragic Haworth mum Lorna Clymo.
Keighley Shared Church was packed for the 12.45pm ceremony yesterday for the care worker, who died after falling from a multi-storey car park.The church was so full that many of the well-wishers had to stand outside.
Dozens of people stood to greet the hearse bearing Lorna's coffin as it arrived by the market cross outside the church.
The coffin was decorated with large white floral tributes spelling out "Mum" and "Aunty".
Lorna, of North Street, Haworth, was found beneath the Airedale shopping centre car park in Keighley, early on Saturday, February 1. The former Greenhead Grammar School student had worked for Elmar HomeCare and had a son, Josh, and siblings Tony and Sharon.
An inquest into her death was opened and adjourned last Wednesday, and will recommence later.

BP lets CEO Hayward off the hook
by Nathan Empsall, Mon Jul 26, 2010 at 06:17:24 PM EDT
Despite intense media speculation that he would resign as CEO of BP today, it looks like Tony Hayward will stick around until at least October. And even then, BP won't force him out the door, they're just transferring him to another prestigious project. From the AP:
Tony Hayward, who became the face of BP's flailing efforts to contain the massive Gulf oil spill, will step down as chief executive in October and be offered a job with the company's joint venture in Russia, a person familiar with the matter said Monday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement had not been made by the British company's board, which was meeting Monday in London to decide Hayward's fate. The decision is the board's to make, and it was unclear if it had formally done so.
It's not yet clear what Hayward's role will be with TNK-BP… BP owns half of the oil firm, which is Russia's third-largest.
So Hayward will continue to draw a salary of several million pounds – even more in dollars – and no longer have to contend with the Gulf Coast oil spill. I'm not sure if he still gets his $10 million pound parachute since he's not leaving BP, but it remains safe to say that the man who famously said "I want my life back" is about to get his wish.
For the record, when Catholic Charities asked BP for $10 million to help with their Gulf Coast assistance programs, BP gave them only $1 million. Combine that with the $0 in their much-ballyhooed escrow fund for processing their victims' claims and you get a total much, much lower than either Hayward's salary or parachute.

In preparation for the playoffs, John and another Lightning logger were interviewed with questions about the Tampa Bay Lightning going in to the 2014 NHL playoffs.
It's unclear what's going on behind the scenes regarding Lightning goaltending situation. One thing is clear, though, and that's the overuse of Ben Bishop.
Ben Bishop left the game in Ottawa after an accidental collision with a teammate.
The Syracuse Crunch GM says the netminder will not be joining the team in North America next season. How does this affect the franchise's plans?
The Tampa Bay Lightning lost their young goaltender last night to a lower-body injury; a franchise affected by injuries as-is will have to further cover for a loss.
New ways of evaluating goaltending are being developed all the time. We take a look at seven of these non-traditional stats.
Dwayne Roloson starts in net for the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight, which is a rare happening for the netminder whom was anointed the #1 goalie position in the preseason. Can Roli find his game? What...
A fan's look and observations at Tampa Bay Lightning goalies in North America right now.
Can Dwayne Roloson touch the 'Bulin Wall's team record for shutouts?
Goalie Mike Smith isn't quite happy with the acquisition of Dwayne Roloson. Understandable. It's also a good thing that he and Dan Ellis are pushed harder to perform.

All Good Things (Come to an End) [Season Finale] – S2E25
Yes, it's the song from Nelly Furtado. I know some people will think that Nelly Furtado is a sellout and etc. I don't care if she is a sellout! I like this song but more to the message, this entry is considered as a "season finale" because it's the final day of classes. Actually, Tuesday is the last day. I am writing this entry as a sort of conclusion for my time being at Carleton University.
In retrospect, I enjoyed my final year at Carleton University. I wasn't sure what kind of reception when taking the Canadian Studies classes. It really surprised me when the people in the classes were nice and outgoing. I really enjoyed the two 4th year classes that were taught by Peter Hodgins. I am also enjoying the other class with Peter Hodgins as well. If anyone reads this entry, all I can say to you for one last time, "you all ROCK!"
One unique thing about the people in Canadians Studies (grad students included) is that half seem to be from Toronto and some from Northern Ontario. Some people live in the East end (aka Gloucester and Orleans) and none from the West end. It kind of felt depressing that there was no one "representing" the West end of Ottawa.
The thing I will miss is being at the seminar room in the Canadian Studies department @ Dunton Tower because it was safety hazard. People will know how clumsy I am, but it was pretty hilarious having to do insane things in the room. Another joke is that I "live" in Canadian Studies lounge. Since the Fall, I kept being at the lounge due to the fact that I got wireless Internet. It was just luck having to get it.
What I miss was the Fall term classes. I found it more interesting than the Winter term. I find that Winter makes everyone lazy and not having the energy. I miss the excitement from the Fall term.
I kind of miss having class on Fridays. Call me crazy, I enjoyed the Friday afternoon class back in the Fall term.
An ironic thing during my time at Carleton was being at unusual classrooms. Whether it is the 9th floor of Loeb to 4499 Mackenzie Building to Leeds residences, it has been a funny experience being in different places where I never expected.
Why I chose "All Good Things (Come to an End) by Nelly Furtado? As the title says it, I think I had a fun time taking some of the classes this year and meet interesting people, but all things come to an end and it's time to move on.
Certain parts like "Flames to dust, lovers to friends, why do all things come to an end" bring an important message of moving on in life. Another part in the song which is edited off from radio is "and the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day til the feeling went away, and the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping, and the rain forgot how to bring salvation." This part is near the end and I find it beautiful.
I also feel that people I know will be leaving to other pastures and will have to move on without them. I am realizing that friends are getting married, moving else or having a career change, it is like the past has become a distant memory.
As I end this entry for the second season, I like to thank this person for keeping in touch for so long. It was fun having to message you during your program and making me laugh when you mentioned things on-air.
Update – April 19, 2007. In the light of the shooting at Virgina Tech, here is an image for the 32 people who lost their lives. I am just privileged to live in a safe place, but there should be justice to stop individuals who post a threat to society.
Remembering Leslie Cheung (2007 Edition) – S2E24
Here is a bit of reprint from my original post last year with a bit of updating. I know April 1st is on Sunday, it's in case I forget to write it on the day.
It's been 4 years since Leslie Cheung left fans throughout Hong Kong and all over the world on April 1st. Everytime I listen to his song, I would feel sad because he is no longer around. I still remember that morning where I was woken up by my brother and I thought it was a joke, but I later realized it was true. I grew up watching Leslie Cheung in movies and on award shows and I never knew Hong Kong actors had impacts on my life. When I started listening to Cantopop in late 1999, it was his songs that brought me back to Hong Kong culture.
For the first time in awhile, I won't be listening to CRHK because their online streaming has been down since December 2006. I will be listening to RTHK to listen if they will play Leslie Cheung songs.
Here are two images that I want to put up.

Tuesday Update – S2E23
So far, I got one essay done and it was for Canadian Public Policy. Again, I writing this entry in the Canadian Studies Lounge over at Dunton Tower.
It's the second last Tuesday of having to wake up early and going for 8.30am class.
I am happy I got the Airport Extreme with 802.11n draft. I could say that my MacBook Pro has gotten a bit faster. I am still unsure about the speed for 802.11n.
Adobe Creative Suite 3 is released, but the pricing is outrageously insane. It would be cool to get it.
What I thought about the Quebec election from last night? I think it was surprising and funny that Jean Charest almost lost his seat during the election. The province of Quebec would of been in chaos. The funny thing as well was that I watched the results on the Internet via CBC.ca.
Countdown to the End: 4 Left and Live @ Carleton – S2E22
It is Monday, March 26, 2007.
As I am at the Canadian Studies Lounge over at Dunton Tower trying to write up my essay. This is probably the second last Monday to be at the lounge. I reflect back to having a Monday class. Last term, I only had a night class for Monday at 6pm. It seemed odd and not great because I miss out on Monday primetime television.
Now, I have an afternoon class this term with Peter Hodgins and it has been fun and enjoyable. It was fun to know people from last term and from the lounge.
#25 will be the end of S2
I am trying to aim at least 4 more posts since the school year is ending. I will end "season 2″ of my blog.
O' Captain, My Captain – S2E21
It's been in the media since Wednesday and I am pretty surprised about the attention it is getting. What do I think about Captain America being killed? Pretty good, but why couldn't it be done in the #7 of Civil War? There has been some negative response to how Civil War ended. In my opinion, I am not very disappointed, nor excited with the outcome of it. My overall position to Civil War has been neutral. I didn't care who side to choose, I just wanted to read a good story. I was disappointed with the lateness, but I accept the reason that the artist had health problems. Lateness is common in comics nowadays.
The thing is, people shouldn't be too worked up with Captain America being dead. I mean, no one shouldn't get too upset because it is just a comic and it's just a fantasy. It's not the thrust of life.
Even though, I am Canadian, something about Captain America being cool and amazing sticks as a favorite hero. I just like his shield because of the materials.
It's great to serve a good memory to where was I when it happened? Well, I was at the comic store and I informed the employees about it. That could be a "memorable" day.
Kudos to a friend who got it. I hope you enjoyed it.
Sort of Understanding Islam and the Frigid Weather – S2E20
I was planning to write up something for the blog, but it kept being held back due to a sense of writer's block. But yea, I have wanted to write about the way that Islam has been portrayed in the media lately. Don't get me wrong, I am not becoming a Muslim or what not. It's just that I understand the faith and culture of it. It has been close to a decade because of friends and people in high school who were practicing Islam. What surprised me was my mom was Muslim when she was young in Hong Kong. I went back in Summer of 2000 and went to the cemetery to find out there were Arabic writing on the tombstone. OK, enough of my inner ramblings, this leads me to "Little Mosque on the Prairie" on CBC. I really enjoyed the show because it is funny and I seem to understand the Muslim culture in some form. I did take the intro to Religion class several years ago and went to a Mosque for the fieldwork assignment.
I just wish I can joke to fans of "24" by mistakenly call Morris, Yasir because the actor (Carlo Rota) is on both shows and I prefer him in comedy over the suspenseful action.
The weather, oh gosh, I barely survived having to go out in the frigid cold. -40 degrees is amazingly brutal. The worse thing for me was taking the express bus (and no! I am not going to tell you bus number because it's self-explanatory :P) to get to Carleton. What I didn't know was that the O-Train was not running. I took a long bus ride from west to east. Not very pleasant as well, but at least I didn't arrive late to Carleton.
Another bad thing was my scarf gave the smell of Vanilla Breeze from the Glade air freshener. Not pleasant when I was covering my face from the winds. I haven't used my "trusty" scarf for a year.
I am happy that I haven't got sick and I broke free of the Chinese New Year curse. I had been cursed for 2 years when I got sick during or prior to Chinese New Year. I felt safer this year!
A cheapless plug to put "Peter Hodgins" again on my blog entry and then searched on Google. I enjoy the Globally Wired Canada: Cultural Issues class and I really enjoy the people in the class. No matter how Facebook is mentioned and being "haunted" by political philosophers like Hobbes, Aristotle, and etc. I'd go bonkers having to hear those things.
Post Reading Week – S2E19
I was suppose to write this on Monday, but due to a major headache, I am writing this on Tuesday. What I did for Reading Week was….. nothing! I did not do much but I was recovering from my week of craziness. I had to endure 2 papers, a midterm and several lion dance performances. Doing nothing for reading week was a way to "recover" from the hectic week.
Oh yea, even though it was my final Reading Week, it was also the last time my birthday was held during Reading Week.
The question I would get is how old I am? Well, I don't feel like 27 and I don't seem to feel old. The funny thing on Monday was someone guessing my age would be 23. I do look young.
Since "The Departed" won for Best Picture at The Oscars, I did get The Departed on DVD and I did not like it. Why? Because it's a remake from Infernal Affairs, the Hong Kong movie. It was laughable in my opinion because they rehashed the scenes from the Hong Kong version. I also thought that Martin Scorsese just sat in the director's sat and did not do much. It felt like he put his stamp on the movie. During Reading Week, I had to rewatch Infernal Affairs(I and III) in order to erase my experience from watching The Departed. I didn't watch IA II because it is a prequel of sorts.
That's all I have to write.
Hitting the Big 27 – S2E18
Oh man, what a way to hit 27 today since it is my birthday. What kind of plans I will have? Not very. Tomorrow will be the day after and will meet with friends to check out the new Vietnamese Restaurant.
It is the final time my birthday is held during Reading Week.
19 Days After the New Year – S2E17
Finally, I am writing a new entry. I was suppose to write something on New Year's Day, but I was bogged down and I couldn't think what to write about.
It's 2007 and so far, it has been odd. Since December, there was no snow and it was a soggy green Christmas. Also, I couldn't get a Nintendo Wii. Briefly fast forward to January, which is now and things have been smooth. I was surprised I did well in Peter Hodgins' Canadian Studies classes. Another slight change in January, I was suppose to have Peter 4 times overall, but I changed around my schedule around and I have Peter two times in the Winter term. Therefore, for the Fall and Winter/Spring term, I have him 5 times.
What does 2007 bring? I am not sure, but I will be happy to finish my courses at Carleton soon.
Looking back on the final 4 months of 2006, I was pleased to meet new people in the Canadian Studies class. It brought on new challenges and plus that I had problems with people in Political Science. My experiences several years ago weren't as good because I seem to have find people not approachable and mostly snobbish.
To a *wink wink, nudge nudge* to someone who might read this and *hint hint* – I think you are tagged on your Facebook. I hope you like my entry :D
Oh yea! Last thing, I finally got a Nintendo Wii.

Reliable Detection of Orientation Change on Android Devices
I am using the book Build Mobile Websites and Apps for Smart Devices as guide for my current project. However, it does not recommend a technique for supporting orientation changes on Android. There seems to some stuff on stack overflow but nothing really concrete. It seems like every solution has significant problems. Anyone dealt with this issue in an efficient and reliable manor?
ThanksThe only code I hate more than my own is everyone else's.

Middle School – A Key Time to Intervene To Prevent Dating Violence
February 16, 2011
United States Representatives John Lewis (D-GA) and Gwen Moore (D-WI) joined leaders from the Department of Education, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Office on Violence Against Women on Capitol Hill on February 10 to discuss promising initiatives that communities, schools and parents can use to address teen dating violence during the middle school years. The briefing highlighted the ways these years offer key moments for education and prevention of teen dating violence, when youth are just beginning to date or establish romantic relationships.
This briefing was held during National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month. The Month was created by a resolution championed by Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID) and Representative Lewis dedicating the entire month of February to educating the public about the debilitating problem of dating violence.
"If we can reach young people in middle school," said Representative Lewis, "to make them aware of the nature of abuse and show them how they can prevent it, we may be able to stop this spiraling cycle of pain before middle school students get involved in it. Teen dating violence can happen to any young person. It knows no socioeconomic boundaries; that is why it is so insidious. It endangers the well-being of any young person who is victimized by abuse and spreads the psychological damage young people experience within their families to innocent, impressionable teenagers who are not equipped to handle the consequences."
"We need to make sure we're talking to our children about dating violence so that they can identify the warning signs and hopefully prevent it altogether," says Representative Moore, co-chair of the Congressional Women's Caucus.
"The middle school years offer key moments for education and prevention," said Futures Without Violence, formerly Family Violence Prevention Fund, President Esta Soler. "For most tweens and young teens, these are the years when transition to adulthood begins, new peer and social influences come into play, and jealousy, anger and pressure to conform are felt in powerful ways. This also often is the first time the behaviors they saw in their homes and families, and the lessons they have learned from peers and from popular culture, are manifested in their own relationships. As the national program office for Start Strong: Building Healthy Teen Relationships and That's Not Cool, a national public education campaign to prevent teen dating abuse sponsored by the DOJ's Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), we are proud to be helping find new ways to send effective prevention messages to middle school youth."
The Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) Director, Susan B. Carbon, said combating dating violence is a priority for OVW. The agency is supporting collaborative efforts to enhance teens' understanding of healthy relationships, help them identify signs of abuse and assist them in locating help services.
Panelist Kevin Jennings, the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, discussed the reasons teen dating violence matters to the Department of Education and school-based initiatives the Department is implementing to address this issue. "Middle school is an important time in the development of an adolescent's view of what a healthy relationship should be," Jennings said. "Teaching healthy relationship skills early on is integral in the prevention of teen dating violence, which is far too prevalent and prevents far too many students from being able to focus on their education."
The first panel also included James Mercy, Ph.D., Special Advisor for Strategic Directions at the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mercy spoke about a new comprehensive community-wide teen dating violence prevention initiative, "Dating Matters: Strategies to Promote Healthy Teen Relationships."
Boise State University student Laura Hampikian kicked off the second panel. Laura was a teen survivor of violence. Laura described a year-long unhealthy relationship she had at age 14. After living through that relationship, she said, "This is why I believe in the Idaho Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence and Start Strong Idaho so much. With the high divorce rates and abusive households that already exist, it can be impossible to see what a real healthy relationship should look like. Teens, like I did, look to the media, or to the books they're reading, to their peers, or even to music to discover what a relationship is supposed to look like. The Coalition and Start Strong Idaho provide a real legitimate base for healthy relationships. It even helped me finally pull out of my own unhealthy, abusive relationship."
The second panel also included: Kelly Miller, Executive Director, Idaho Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence and Start Strong: Building Healthy Teen Relationships Project Leader; Dr. Lori Vollandt, Ed. D., Coordinator for Health Education Programs, Los Angeles Unified School District; Deborah Jacobson, teacher of healthy relationships curriculum in middle school and Cantor at Temple Ahavat Shalom, Palm Beach, Florida; and Neil Irvin, Executive Director, Men Can Stop Rape who has expanded their primary prevention program focused on male youth to middle schools.
Along with Representatives Lewis and Moore, "Why Middle School Matters" was co-hosted by Senator Crapo and Representative Dave Reichert (R-WA). Futures Without Violence, Jewish Women International, Break the Cycle, MTV, Liz Claiborne Inc., the National Teen Dating Abuse Helpline, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Start Strong: Building Healthy Teen Relationships, the Los Angeles Unified School District and Men Can Stop Rape co-sponsored the briefing.

(WMC-TV) – There are quite a few fresh faces in Millington city government including a new mayor, city manager, and five new aldermen.
People inside city hall say 2012 was not a good year after the city's former mayor was indicted for bribery.
Now, they are hoping to change the city's image and keep it moving forward.
"We have a lot of opportunity in Millington. We have a lot of great things going on in our community," said Millington Alderman Bethany Huffman.
Bethany Huffman is one of five new members on the Millington City Council.
She and others say it is time to put the past behind them and continue to move the city forward.
"I think there are a lot of people who have always commented about what's going on in the community. That's easy to do, but it's stepping up and making a difference," said Huffman.
Under a revised city charter, the city's mayor will now be a part time job.
Terry Jones took the oath of office Tuesday. But, he is not quite sure a full time city manager is the right person to lead the city.
Jones says changes to the city charter were rushed and should be reconsidered.
"I think it should have been more of a referendum for the people to make that decision rather than 7 people in 28 days make that decision," said Mayor Jones.
Jones is familiar with the mayor's job. He served as the full time mayor from 2004 to 2008.
He says he is looking forward to working with the most diverse city council in history. His focus will be on continued growth, with a specific focus on Millington's airport.
Jones says the city is in discussions with a major airline and they could begin flights in and out of Millington as soon as April.
"Have at least two scheduled flights a week out of Millington with hope that increases to four. We hope it will bring a small carrier to Millington," he explained.
The Millington City Council will have a called meeting Thursday night to approve the job description and contract for the city manager's job.
The lead candidate for that job is Thomas Christie, the city manager in Salem, Illinois. He could take the Millington job as soon as next week.

Priest Lake Travel Tips
Sunsets Dazzle at Priest Lake Vacation Rentals
Fans of calm water with purples and pinks reflecting from its surface will find Priest Lake vacation rentals the ideal spot for watching the sun set. The deck of your vacation rental will offer first-class views of this beautiful portrait as you sip your favorite beverage while the sun sinks below the horizon.
Priest Lake is in the northernmost part of the Idaho panhandle. The lake itself comes within 15 miles of Canada. When you and your family choose a VRBO vacation rental, you will have all the comforts of home and more. These lakefront homes and cabins offer large living areas, multiple bedrooms and fully equipped kitchens to prepare home-cooked meals. You will find a vacation home to fit into any budget while enjoying comforts you cannot get in a hotel.
Discover the Area Around Priest Lake Houses
Have you longed to discover the pristine beauty of a virgin forest? If the answer is yes, you will need to spend a day away from Priest Lake houses to visit the Roosevelt Grove of Ancient Cedars. This ancient forest is on the west side of Priest Lake where visitors can see trees that are four to 12 feet diameter and 150 feet tall. The majority of the original trees were destroyed in a fire in 1926. While most of the trees are only around 800 years old, there are still some to see that are 2,000 to 3,000 years old. It is well worth a trip from your enticing lake house to see these natural wonders. Pack a picnic from your kitchen and enjoy the picnic area surrounded by these magnificent giants. The area is open summer through fall every day and there is no charge.
If you have come to rent a lake house in the summer, you can splash around in the lake while swimming. You can also rent a boat, canoe or kayak and take a leisurely trip around the lake on a pontoon boat. With more than 70 miles of shoreline, you will never feel crowded and the views from the lake are exquisite. Biking is available along the Lakeshore Trail where you can stop for a picnic lunch along the way. Fishermen can catch big Mackinaw trout to cook on the BBQ grill on private decks. Need more adventure on your vacation? Think about running the rapids on Priest River or rock climbing near the lake. Hunters enjoy fall in the Priest Lake area as it is home to whitetail and mule deer, elk, moose and black bear. After a day in the crisp air, come home to a blazing fire and a hot toddy.
Dining by Priest Lake Lodging
Although you can cook gourmet meals in your Priest Lake lodging, you may wish to take a few days off and Priest Lake will not disappoint your palette. You and your guests can indulge in fine dining at the Chimney Rock Café or Elkins Resort where signature cuisine and Pacific northwest delicacies reign. If you are in a hurry because you are on your way to an attraction in the area, stop by one of the fast food drive-ins or grab a quick hamburger at the Korner Klub or Leonard Paul's Lakeside Sandwich Shop. In the mood for a little dessert? Then you must partake of Ardy's Café fresh homemade huckleberry pie. You can also pick up a souvenir of your stay in Priest Lake at Ardy's as they feature local artists' work and some huckleberry items to take home with you.
Looking for a place to gather and maybe enjoy a game of horseshoes, volleyball, foosball or pool? Millie's Restaurant and Pub should fit the bill. They offer all this and more. It is located near the Priest Lake Service Center so it is easy to find. Your family can munch on gourmet wings or choose from a host of other international cuisine offerings.

Box Score - Text Box - Game Sheet
DETROIT, Mich. -- The Providence College men's hockey team was defeated, 6-0, by No. 1 ranked Michigan Friday afternoon in the first semi-final game of the 43rd Annual Great Lakes Invitational played at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Mich. With the loss, the Friars fell to 6-7-2, while the Wolverines improved to 17-2-0. Michigan goalie Billy Sauer made a career-high 50 saves to lead his squad to its third consecutive win,
The Wolverines took the lead just 1:02 into the first period as Louie Caporusso fired a shot from the bottom of the right faceoff circle that deflected off a skate in front and past PC senior goalie Tyler Sims (Fort Wayne, Ind.). The Friars controlled the first period as they created numerous scoring opportunities and outshot Michigan, 16-3. However, the Wolverines struck again with 30 seconds left in the period as Aaron Palushaj was able to tuck the puck past Sims from in close.
The Friars continued their strong play in the second period, but could score. The Wolverines took control of the game halfway though the second period scoring twice in a span of 2:16 to make the score, 4-0. Anthony Ciraulo scored a short-handed tally at 11:03, while Kevin Porter found the net on the power-play tally at 13:19. Ben Winnett added another goal at 17:31 to give Michigan a five-goal cushion after two periods.
The Friars finished the game with a 50-21 as Sauer stopped all 50 shots to earn his second shutout of the season.
The Friars will play in the third-place of the Great Lakes Invitational on Saturday, December 29 beginning at 4:06 p.m. at the Joe Louis Arena.

Imaginative Short Film 'Waste' Brings Our Inner Monsters to Life
The production teams over at Studioset and WAO bring us Waste, a short film that is half Soviet montage and half pop-up book. Its approach to cinematography is a dreamlike reality, but that description doesn't seem to suffice when describing the juxtaposition of dull and vibrant, dead and alive, and active and inactive. Director Anton Groves and his crew light up the dreary world of their protagonist's life with colorful "monsters", representing his wastefulness, that unfold like a pop-up book to reveal the monsters within.

Plans for Debates Between Pete Stark and Eric Swalwell?
Original post made by Dave on Sep 4, 2012
The real reason is that Pete Stark himself looked and sounded "stupid" in the only time that he debated Eric Swalwell.
Check the debate on this site; Web Link
I would encourage all voters to sign the petition requesting Pete Stark to debate Eric Swalwell.
Web Link
There is a reason that no major newspaper has endorsed Pete Stark.
on Sep 5, 2012 at 7:10 am
Excuse me Dave...the Livermore Independent, according to Pete Stark's endorsements, supports Congressman Stark. The Independent has been the "major" informational tool, for our Valley, since the 60's. So you see Dave..."There is a reason that no major newspaper has endorsed Pete Stark" is not true. Instead of presenting a blog spot of misinformation... present your case to the Independent...I for one...would be interested to know as well.
on Sep 5, 2012 at 7:51 am
For Pete.
Guess our definition of "major" differs. However, I did react to the Independent's endorsement for this shady politician and never received any explanation for their surprising endorsement for a person that has exhibited such dishonesty, and has spouted outright lies. Have you bothered to view the one debate that he did participate in?
Fortunately, major newspapers such as the San Francisco Chronicle, Contra Costa Times and the Hayward Daily Review endorsed somebody else for Congress
on Sep 5, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Wasn"t bothered from viewing debate some time ago. A possible alternative for any public confidence, that may of been lost, through the debate, could be made up accordingly. This Valley is a mecca for the best highschool debate teams, from within the entire United States of America. We have a candidate, offering her public service, as the next Mayor of Pleasanton, with expertise in the debating format. Leadership takes many forms... intuitiveness another, community of shared interests another. Still having faith in the media, as professionals...democracy depends on it. So...who's call is it?

Kelley Technical Coatings 214GL Kelly Technical Olympic Proxoprime II Epoxy Primer - 1 Gallon
Short Description
Kelly Technical Olympic Proxoprime II Epoxy Primer, compatibility with wet surfaces helps reduce downtime.
Pool Maintenance Features:
We make two types of epoxy primer for unfinished concrete or plaster surfaces. Bare plaster or concrete are highly absorbent materials which tend to soak up the first coat. Therefore, a primer should be used to soak in, seal the surface and provide a smoother profile for surfacing. These primers should only be used as a base coat for POXOLON or ZERON. Do not use epoxy primers in conjunction with rubber-base coatings. POXOPRIME II is our epoxy primer for application over uncoated concrete or plaster. Used as an undercoat for POXOLON or ZERON, POXOPRIME II soaks in and seals the surface. POXOPRIME II's compatibility with wet surfaces helps reduce downtime by allowing the pool to be cleaned and primed in one day. Do not apply over any old coating. Coverage: 200 - 250 square feet per gallon

The Lotus Education and Arts Foundation's spring 2013 arts outreach project is called "The Power of Pattern." It focuses on the universal human endeavor to create symbols that embody ideas and ideals, transmit practical information, shape identity, create art, and build community.
Earlier this year, we invited individuals and organizations to create symbols for the project, which will result in a new stage backdrop for the Buskirk-Chumley Theater at the 20th Lotus World Music and Arts Festival this September.
At the Lotus Blossoms Bazaar on March 23, you'll have a chance to add color to a canvas panel printed with designs for the Power of Pattern. Here is a detail from one of the prototype panels for the Power of Pattern.
The response has exceeded our expectations: so far, we've gotten more than 400 submissions. They've come from visual artists and designers, from elementary and high school art classes, from organizations and businesses, and from many creative people across the community. One of the first submissions was from a designer who lives in Bulgaria.
We catalogue all design submissions and then decide which ones will work best as carved blocks. I'm leading a small team of carvers in that process. The last two months have been packed with carving and printing prototypes, working out processes and troubleshooting.
The first stage of our Power of Pattern project finishes up at the Lotus Blossoms Bazaar, where we'll invite the public to work on canvas panels printed with designs created by Stone Belt artists and by young people from across the community, adding color to the block-print designs.
What's ahead for Power of Pattern in the spring? More symbols to carve, and about 175 yards of canvas to print with layers of pattern. To submit your own designs for Lotus's Power of Pattern, visit the Lotus website for details.
Here is an image of young artists at the Boys and Girls Club, creating Power of Pattern designs.
Design from a Girls, Inc. artist, carved into a block for printing.
At a Mathers Museum workshop, more than 20 people helped print a dense design using carved blocks based on designs submitted to the Power of Pattern project.

Colne mum's sympathy as Duchess suffers same rare condition
10:00pm Wednesday 5th December 2012 in News
YOU poor girl' was the first thought to cross Natalie Yurek's mind when she discovered the Duchess of Cambridge was suffering the same severe form of morning sickness she had endured.
The 33-year-old mum-of two, from Colne, knows exactly how Kate will be feeling today.
"Think of the symptoms of flu and then multiply it tenfold and you have some idea of what it's like," she said.
"Every time you move you vomit, every time you have a sip of water you vomit and, on top of that, you feel like you have been hit by a truck."
Like Kate, Natalie, of Blascomay Square, was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG) just six weeks into her first pregnancy and spent three days in hospital hooked up to a drip.
"I had only just found out I was pregnant and one morning I felt so ill I couldn't get out of bed; my husband Jonathon somehow got me to the doctor's but I kept passing out.
"They were very worried about my condition at the surgery and the next thing I knew I was in an ambulance being rushed to hospital. I was given fluids and my blood pressure was monitored constantly."
Now the proud mum of five-year-old Aidan and Melody, who is two next week, Natalie added: "I remember that the slightest movement hurt me and made me nauseous.
"I was severely dehydrated and my head ached constantly.
"I am just so glad that I didn't suffer the symptoms for too long, although when I came out of hospital I still felt very ill and weak.
"I was advised to take it easy and my doctor signed me off work for three months, until I had fully recovered."
Now an admin assistant at Burnley General, Natalie said: "I have been watching the news about Kate and I feel very sympathetic.
"I know exactly how she is feeling. It's truly horrible."
Telegraph medical expert Dr Tom Smith also has every sympathy for the Duchess. An extremely rare condition, he said he had only seen three of four cases of HG during his long career.
It is also believed that novelist Charlotte Bronte died from the condition at Haworth Parsonage, in the days before medical advances.
"It is an extreme form of morning sickness and an awful thing, yet we don't really know what causes it, although hormonal imbalances have been suggested," said Dr Tom.
"Kate will be feeling very sick all the time and will become badly dehydrated.
"While she will need to be given fluids intravenously, the problem doctors will have is what drugs they can give her to stop the sickness, without harming the baby.
"We all remember Thalidomide, for instance, that was given to many woman suffering all forms of morning sickness in the Sixties and the terrible side effects that had.
"The vital thing at the moment is that if Kate is less than 12 week's pregnant, her baby's organs will still be developing and you can't really consider giving any drugs because they could cause some damage.
"Once she has passed the 12 week mark, the doctors will be able to help alleviate the feeling of nausea with prescribed medication."
Dr Tom added: "It is a terrible illness and can last a number of weeks, so it may be that Kate will be staying in hospital for some time."
Dr. Rineke Schram, consultant obstetrician and medical director at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "Some pregnant women experience severe nausea and vomiting, which usually settles after 12 weeks, but sometimes continues throughout pregnancy.
"This condition is known as hyperemesis gravidarum and is a severe form of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy.
"It requires specialist treatment and is very different to the more common nausea and vomiting known as morning sickness.
"Fortunately, most women recover quickly from this condition."

Obama Foreign Policy
Barack Obama tries to save Hamas
Khaled Abu Toameh argues that John Kerry's Gaza diplomacy is intended to save Hamas. And he isn't alone in holding this view. It is shared, not without reason, by the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia — all of whom were bypassed by Kerry's initial diplomatic foray in favor of Turkey and Qatar who support Hamas: That Kerry chose to invite Qatar and Turkey — the »
John Thune Rips Obama's Feckless Foreign Policy
Hosting the Laura Ingraham show for the last two mornings, I had the great privilege of interviewing three of the people in public life whom I respect the most: Jeff Sessions, John Thune and Marco Rubio. I posted my interview with Rubio here. Sessions will be coming soon. And this is my interview, this morning, with Senator John Thune on America's declining influence around the world. It is an interesting »
Marco Rubio on Obama's Foreign Policy Failures
I hosted the Laura Ingraham show today, and Marco Rubio was a guest. We talked about the comprehensive failure of the Obama administration's foreign policies, as manifested in deteriorating conditions (from the standpoint of American interests) around the world. It is a good, sharp discussion and is only around seven minutes long. The audio is a good reminder, I think, of how strong Rubio is on these issues. I will »
14 Israel-Gaza notes
In the spirit of David Bernstein's "Some Israel-Gaza notes" at the Volokh Conspiracy, I would like to add my own notes summarizing points I have been making here, some of which Bernstein also makes. 1. Hamas has promoted phony casualty statistics as a propaganda tool and the media have dutifully provided the statistics every day without any reservation. The media fail to report the source of the statistics as anything »
Is Barack Obama John Galt?
In her polemical novel Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand imagines a world in which the most productive citizens–business magnates, mostly, creators of wealth and generators of progress–go on strike. Tired of being blamed for the world's ills by parasitic liberals in the press, academia, popular culture and government, they quit. The result is chaos and disaster. John Galt is the mysterious figure who inspires the revolt of the wealth creators. On »
John Kerry and "what everyone knows"
For decades, diplomats and pundits have been saying that "everyone" — by which they mean their fellow diplomats and pundits — knows what the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute would look like. It would look, they say, like two states with something similar to the re-1967 Israeli border and "security guarantees" for Israel. Lost on this arrogant breed is the fact that if everyone has known for so long what »
War is over! If you want it
"Happy Xmas (War Is Over") was John Lennon's 1971 Christmas single with Yoko Ono. "War is over! If you want it," went the song. Barack Obama is thinking along the same lines, and he he wants the war over. He has requested that Congress repeal the 2002 law authorizing the use of military force in Iraq. The Washington Examiner's Charles Hoskinson reports the reaction of retiring Armed Services Committee chairman »
Kerry toes the Hamas line
In the adjacent posts John and I draw on the commentary of David Horovitz and Barak Ravid on John Kerry's promotion of a ceasefire that toes the Hamas line in Gaza. Hamas is a genocidal terrorist organization with which Kerry is prohibited from dealing directly under American law. Kerry's efforts nevertheless serve Hamas and betray Israel as well as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE in Hamas's war on Israel. »
When You've Lost Haaretz…
Haaretz is Israel's establishment, liberal newspaper. Scott once described it to me in shorthand as the New York Times of Israel. So the paper is a natural ally of a Democratic U.S. administration. That is what makes this article by Barak Ravid remarkable. It is titled Kerry's latest cease-fire plan: What was he thinking? It is behind a subscription wall, but the link goes to Haaretz's mobile site and should »
While Hamas celebrates
Times of Israel editor is providing the best ongoing commentary I can find online regarding Hamas's war on Israel. His column today is "Whle Hamas celebrates, Israel focuses on its security." Here are a couple of excerpts worth pausing over: Entirely unsurprisingly, Hamas is managing to further blacken Israel's name wherever this conflict is depicted in terms that are the opposite of reality, which is most everywhere. Israel is under »
Hillary Was Against the Reset Before She Was For It
The Russian "reset" has always been regarded as Hillary Clinton's baby, one of her smug "smart diplomacy" initiatives. Why do we associate the reset with Hillary? Because it was Hillary who presented the famous button to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in 2009. She sure looked happy about it then: In the ensuing years, Hillary was always glad to take credit for the Russian reset. As recently as June 13 »

Obama rejects Kurds' plea for help against ISIS
President Obama famously failed to act when warned that ISIS was preparing to mount an offensive in Western Iraq. This left ISIS free to conquer, with virtually no resistance, city after city in the defense of which American soldiers have shed blood. Now Obama is receiving new warnings, this time from the Kurds in Northern Iraq. In fact, according to the Washington Post, the Kurds are "pleading for U.S. military »
Was Lois Lerner Transferred to the FAA?
It is quite clear that Lois Lerner was the designated political hit-person for Obama at the IRS, targeting Obama's political opponents. Could she have been transferred to the Federal Aviation Administration and no one was told? The question arises from the peculiar decision of the FAA to prohibit American air carriers from flying to Israel, now extended to a second day, despite there being no new incidents of rockets falling »
The terrible cost of thwarting Hamas
Times of Israel editor David Horovitz has just posted his column today on the state of the war with Hamas to this point. Here is one point you may not see advertised in our own media: The real battle is taking place in those Gaza border neighborhoods — Shejaiya, Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun and others — where thousands of Israeli solders are searching, house to house, for the tunnel entrances. »
Marie Harf explains
State Department spokesman Marie Harf makes me barf. Harf is the deputy to State Department spokesman Jen Psaki; Psaki makes me barf too, even though her name lacks the clue of the perfect rhyme. Together the two of them give the catastrophic foreign policy of the Obama administration a lighter than air, Valley Girl kind of twist. With them we can smile through the apocalypse. In the video below, Harf »
Friends of Hamas
Hamas has proved itself to be unusually isolated in its current war on Israel. The powers-that-be in Egypt, for example, have not lifted a finger to come to the assistance of Hamas. This all by itself proves the superiority of the Sissi regime to that of Morsi, but if one has a clue about the nature of the Muslim Brotherhood, from which both Morsi and Hamas emerged, this not exactly »
