Give up smoking and sex? Many say they would.
This shocking bit of news on a radio talk show this morning got the attention of one of our partner bloggers: Nearly half of British men surveyed said they would give up sex for six months to get a 50-inch plasma TV.
The survey -- done, incidentally, by an electronics retailer -- found that only a third of women responded in kind. Also, 25% of the 2,000 respondents said they would give up smoking, and about 25% would stop eating chocolate.
It's easy to eat healthier and waste less food.
This post comes from Carrie Kirby at partner blog Wise Bread.
I used to consider myself a frugal shopper, without following the cardinal rule of setting and sticking to a grocery budget. Inspired by Wise Bread and other personal-finance blogs, a few months ago I finally took the plunge and set an $80-a-week budget.
- Bing: Find grocery coupons
I know that some people manage to spend as little as half that to feed a family of four (the two kids are little enough that they don't eat much), but for us $80 has been a challenge.
Despite the challenges, I was pleased to find that the budget goal (some weeks it's been merely a goal) has taught me a few things about shopping and about myself.
Be sure to give your concoction a trial run before your big date.
Some may consider homemade deodorant another example of frugality taken to ridiculous extremes -- on par with rewashing Ziploc bags, making laundry detergent, or not flushing after every pit stop.
But isn't the real issue: Does it work?
Two personal-finance bloggers directed their readers to a recipe from Little House in the Suburbs, which starts with this statement: "In the DIY world of home health and beauty products, deodorant seems to be the most feared replacement."
Doing it properly takes work and a little common sense.
Baker at Man vs. Debt sold his Nissan with 240,000 miles, a leaky brake line, leaking oil, transmission problems and cosmetic defects for $1,200 to a tech school student -- and he's thanking his lucky stars.
Baker did almost everything wrong a private person selling a car could do. His mistakes, as well as others that occurred to him later, are compiled in a post called "67 ways NOT to sell a car."
It's easy to dine cheaply (but don't skimp on the tip).
This post comes from Paul Michael at partner blog Wise Bread.
When I was a young lad, eating out was something of a luxury for my family. Most of our meals, at least 95%, were prepared and eaten at home. This was the model for most people my age or older. But these days, society has migrated to eating outside the home way more often. The result is that we're spending a lot more on food than we used to. So, are there ways to chop the bill and eat out for less? You bet.
New bills are easy to check.
This post comes from Philip Brewer at partner blog Wise Bread.
It used to be that spotting a "good" counterfeit bill was impossible for ordinary people. If it was good enough to pass the "look and feel" test, an ultraviolet light or a magnetic ink detector would be needed to detect fraud. But for the past 10 years, the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing has been making bills that are easy to check for authenticity.
The amount of counterfeit money in the United States is low enough that most people feel safe taking money with barely a minimal check for counterfeits. Does it look and feel like money? Then it probably is. But have you ever gotten a bill and thought something -- either the bank note or the person giving it to you -- seemed a little off? Ever wished you could quickly check to see if it's good?
Well, here's how:
Develop a plan before you start.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Let's face it: Most items at garage sales and yard sales are junk. It's stuff the family conducting the sale wants to get rid of, hoping to make $100 on a good weekend.
- Bing: Yard sale tactics
With that in mind, I often visit yard sales to look for specific items. Here are six things I usually look for:
It takes commitment to overcome these errors.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
I get tons of e-mail from people describing the personal-finance problems in their lives. Not only that, but as The Simple Dollar has become more popular, I've had more opportunities to talk about personal finance with people face to face.
What amazes me is that the same problems pop up time and time again. Sure, the specifics of the stories change, as does the severity of the situations, but the same items come up.
I'm not immune to them, either. At the time of my own financial meltdown, I was guilty of a majority of these things. It was only due to a commitment to fixing my financial situation that I was able to overcome these mistakes and set them right.
Here they are, the 12 biggest mistakes I hear about time and time again.

Which St. Louis Blues players are converting puck possession into goals and how do the Blues compare against the Blackhawks through the first three games of round one.

How to Effectively Use Online Job Boards and Career Sites
We have all heard about them: Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, LinkedIn, etc. We know that they can be helpful in getting your resume out there for companies to see. But we also know that we are competing against hundreds, sometimes thousands, of other job seekers just like us. How can we possibly stand out from the crowd with those odds stacked against us?
Rob Byron, from the staffing organization Winter, Wyman, wrote an article on how to separate yourself from the faceless masses on the Internet. In the article, Byron discusses how to build your brand with everything you do online. From your Facebook posts, to your Tweets, to a blog you write or frequently comment on, think about how a prospective employer would view your online actions. Byron also provides recommendations on how to properly use job boards and social media to show your best face to the employment world.

My partner in crime, King Marcus, arrived at LAX from NC, we picked him up and ran for San Pedro only to find that embarkation was delayed due to the need for a thorough detox because of Norovirus. We were delighted to find Alex Forbes and all of our butlers (we had both been on Pearl four times before this) in the concierge lounge, and the royal treatment began!
The crowd was getting unruly, waving pitchforks and torches, as we were boarded first, even before the garden villa and deck 14 pax. My bags were waiting at my door.
Since this was a shortie cruise, we booked a disabled minisuite, a large lovely aft cabin. At 350 sf, it was larger than an AD penthouse. As I am not disabled, (DH is) I offered it up, in case it was needed but no one did....with Alex as concierge and with Platinum perks, and courtyard access, I found the services in a mini on Pearl to be superior to an owner's suite on Dawn!
We adults enjoyed daily trivia and arts and crafts as well as well deserved lazy NAPS! Marcus spent time on the sundeck "getting a healzy glow". Having been onboard before, I didn't go to any of the shows, but it was unanimous that we would have paid to silence the piano player/singer Terry Ayers in Bar City.
We had had lunch in Summer Palace on embarkation day and it was antiheroic, so we took the balance of our breakfasts and lunches at Cagneys and dinners at Bistro, Cagney's, Mambo's. I even tried regular room service for the first time, and it wasn't bad!
On the two port days, San Francisco and Victoria, I guided local travel agents around the ship and answered their questions, always the NCL ambassador ;)
All in all, a good time was had by all- dinner with Captain Sven, Michael, Susan and King Marcus....Marcus' surprise birthday party....another bridge tour...excellent, excellent hospitality from everyone. As expected from the exquisite Pearl.

There has been some talk about a potential "silver bullet" in the form of a state Lottery that would be a source of new state revenue shoring up the gaps in funding. While it is true a lottery would create additional revenue for our state it is important that we think through the unintended consequences of such a decision before pulling the trigger.
We don't need another situation like the one we are dealing with now regarding those things unintended – i.e. Immigration Law.
A couple of questions come to mind as we enter into a possible Lottery consideration phase. If we add revenue to the state budgets through a new lottery program will we then not address the fundamental need to operate within our means and end wasteful spending and/or consider tax increases?
With the ongoing gambling corruption trial – is now the right time to approve government sponsored gambling in our state? Will the additional tax revenue go to schools as most state sponsored lotteries claim or will this money be diverted to other less deserving programs?
What we don't need right now are distracted lawmakers as they should be making the hard decisions about how to balance the budgets without the benefit of a lottery.
We need your full attention as we all have a lot on the line right now.
We appreciate and encourage your feedback.

There already was a Spydercard. Model SC01, a collaboration with Ed Bradichansky in 2001 or so IIRC (my date may be a bit off) discontinued in 2002. You may be able to find one if you search. The prices I saw them sell at were not too bad if someone wants one - 30 or 40 bucks.

FGCU Swimming & Diving Looks for Fourth-Straight CCSA Title
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU swimming and diving team travels to Athens, Ga., this week for the 2012 Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) Championship, where it will defend its three-straight conference titles. The championship, which will be held at the University of Georgia's Gabrielsen Natatorium, begins on Thursday (Feb. 16) and concludes on Saturday (Feb. 18).
The Eagles finished the regular season with an 11-2 dual meet record (4-0 CCSA) and are ranked eighth in the latest CollegeSwimming.com/CSCAA Mid-Major Division I poll. Davidson is the only other CCSA school receiving votes in the poll.
FGCU completed their fourth consecutive undefeated CCSA season, finishing with a 4-0 record this year after recording a perfect 5-0 CCSA record last season. The Green and Blue ran away with the three-peat last year, scoring 879.5 points with Davidson coming in second at 585 points.
"We have changed some things this year and the girls are excited about it," said reigning CCSA Coach of the Year Neal Studd. "We are always trying to finish well in the relays and we are looking to send some people to NCAAs in the process. I am fortunate enough to have a team that every member could score points."
FGCU owns 15 top times in the CCSA and the Eagles lead in all five relay events heading into the championship. Senior Leah Daniel (Winnipeg, Manitoba/Grant Park) boasts the top times in the 500 free (4:55.72) and 1000 free (10:16.29), while classmate Victoria Cadge (Long Melford, Suffolk, United Kingdom/Kelly College) tops the 50 Fly (26.31), 200 IM (2:03.67) and 400 IM (4:25.01) lists. At the 2011 championship, Daniel took first in the 1650 free, the 500 free and the 200 free, while Cadge earned two first-place finishes in the 200 IM and 400 IM.
Senior Danielle Butler (Orangeburg, N.Y./Tappan Zee HS/St. Bonaventure) is first in the 200 fly (2:02.50), while classmate Alessandra Cianci (Plantation, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) is third at 2:05.52.
Butler, Cadge, Cianci, Daniel and Teri Lytle (Melbourne, Fla./Melbourne Central Catholic) will swim their final strokes at a CCSA championship, as these seniors have never lost a conference meet in their four years at FGCU.
The Green and Blue are eligible for postseason for the first time this season and will be looking for NCAA cut times during the CCSA championship this weekend.
"We have five incredible seniors that are not only great athletes but great people," said Studd. "We really hope to send them out on a high note and if they win this weekend they would have never lost a conference meet in the championship or in season, so we nicknamed them the 'Perfect Seniors'."
Fans can watch the championship on a live video stream on the Big South Network. All three days of the championship will be video-streamed LIVE and can be purchased for $7.95, while a single day can be viewed for $4.95. You can purchase the video streaming packages at BigSouthSports.com and choose "upcoming live events" from the multimedia menu.
In addition to the video stream, the CCSA will provide free live results through the HyTek manager system. The link for the live results will be available on TheCCSA.com. There will also be live Twitter updates on http://twitter.com/TheCCSA, updating you on all the action of the CCSA Championships.

The Heritage Trail Plan has a goal to revitalize the Foote and Cleaborne Homes housing projects. But, the plan will affect all of downtown, and some stakeholders say it's not the best thing for the community.
Over the last decade downtown Memphis has seen a boom of housing and art and office space, including million dollars homes, mixed with apartments, condos and commercial space.
But an upcoming vote by a City-County Board would declare the entire downtown a menace to the rest of the city.
"It's the way they're going about it, by declaring all of downtown a slum and a blighted area in order to get the money," says resident Terry Woodard.
The declaration would be part of an effort to secure a federal grant.
Woodard, an artist and developer, is against the Heritage Trails Plan.
The plan predicts what would be generated in taxes downtown over the next 20 years and borrows against it to revitalize downtown housing projects Foote and Cleaborne Homes.
For those 20 years, downtown would be considered a slum, and a master developer would be in charge of approving any and all development.
"All the other developers would have to go through that master developer, which in my opinion is a very scary thing because the beauty of South Main and the beauty of what goes on downtown is all the different developers have different visions. We have a very diverse downtown because of that," says Woodard.
During those 20 years, it's estimated about $100 million will be generated in taxes, to be borrowed against. It would be used primarily for public housing.
Councilman Lee Harris is taking a wait and see approach, "That's a serious number. There's a whole bunch of projects across the city that could use some of that money. So it's got me a little bit fearful."
The City-County board was supposed to vote on the plan on Thursday. But, because of the vocal opposition, it's been delayed.
Eventually, the plan would have to be voted on by the City Council and County Commission.
The meeting is at City Hall Thursday at 8:30 am.

The people at Tompkins Square do it again. After their successful releases of Fire In My Bones and This May Be My Last Time Singing they have now come up with I Heard The Angels Singing. It's a 4 CD set covering the Nashboro gospel catalogue. With such a huge catalogue to choose from it's very easy to mention all those artists and excellent songs that aren't on this set.
One of the songs that didn't make it onto I Heard The Angels Singing is the live version of May The Work I've Done Speak For Me by The Consolers. Man and wife duo Sullivan and Iola Pugh started their recording debut in the early 1950s as part of a trio The Miami Soul Stirrers without much success. The lack of success was reason for Pearl Nance-Rayford to leave the group. They then became the Spiritual Consolers with a release on DeLuxe. When they were signed by Nashboro in 1955 they became The Consolers and one of Nashboro's longest acts on the company's roster.
May The Work I've Done Speak For Me was initially released as Nashboro 950 in 1969. The live version was recorded in 1980 and was released on the album Live In Action (AVI 50003).

One of the most intriguing gospel record labels of the 1970s is Style Wooten's Designer records from Memphis, TN. Designer was a 'vanity label'. Designer put small ads in local and regional papers and magazines telling people that for several hundred dollars you got yourself a professional two song recording session in Wooten's studio and 500 45s pressed of that session. For many smaller gospel groups who only had a local or regional following this was their only way to get recorded. By selling their 45s at (local) gospel programs and handing them out to local gospel DJ's a lot of these groups were able to get their money back and making some extra dollars for a new recording session at Designer. Style Wooten did not only cater for the gospel community, he put similar ads in papers and magazines directed at the country & western fraternity.
In 1969 The Oakville Harmonizers walked into Style Wooten's studio for what turned out to be their only released record session. Designer 6801 contains Little Wooden Church and Don't Know What I Would Do Without The Lord. Both songs have Charles Irving singing lead. He's the one kneeling on the right. The other gentlemen in the photo are standing left to right: James Mcbee, Will Mims, Jack Jackson, Tommy Johnson; Bottom row kneeling on the left James Johnson.

Like so many others, O.V. Wright started his recording career singing gospel before switching to secular music. The Sunset Travelers were formed in 1950 in Memphis. They made their firs recordings for Duke records in 1953. In 1957 O.V. Wright joined the Sunset Travelers. He was a part group till 1964 when he started recording secular material. During his period as a member of the Sunset Travelers they had 5 singles released on Peacock and one album. O.V. Wright wasn't involved in the recordings of all songs on the album On Jesus' Program. He was still around when they recorded the song On Jesus' Program. The mix on the 45 is slightly different (and longer) than the one used for the album. I've selected the longer version. Both the 45 and album were released in 1964.
In 1980 after hearing the Luckett Brothers (originally from Milwaukee) at a concert, Wright decided to record religious material after so many years. In October 1980 O.V. Wright & the Luckett Brothers recorded the album Four And Twenty Elders. One month after the recording session, on November 16, 1980 O.V. Wright passed away at the age of 41. In early 1981 the album was released on Creed a subsidiary of Nashboro out of Nashville. Creed also released a 45, with O.V. Wright singing lead on Four And Twenty Elders.

Inez Andrews ( April 14, 1929 – December 19, 2012) made her recording debut, as a member of the Caravans, in 1956 at a session for Savoy. She left the Caravans in 1961 to start her own group; Inez Andrews & the Andrewettes. The Andrewettes were the Gospel Challengers (of Jamaica, Long Island). The Andrewettes and Inez Andrews split in 1965/1966. As Liz & the Gospelttes the former Andrewettes/Gospel Challengers had a succesful recording career with an album on Gospel and several singles and albums on SongBird.
Inez Andrews & the Andrewettes recorded between 1963 and 1965 five singles and two albums, all of them released on SongBird. In late 1963/early 1964 they recorded a couple of singles. Interestingly enough in that same period the Gospel Challengers also recorded a few singles. In January 1965 on a European tour they recorded the live album Live At The Munich Gospel Festival. The album was released in 1974. After returning from Europe they finished their debut album The Need Of Prayer. It was the first album to be released on the Peacock subsidiary SongBird. Andrews would continue recording 7 more albums for SongBird until 1978 when SongBird was folded. In the 1980s she had releases on Savoy, Jewel, Miracle and Spirit Feel.
Nobody Knows is taken from the album The Need Of Prayer (SongBird SBLP-200). I love the interplay between the unidentified organ player and the female voices on this one.

Slowly but surely the artist and label discographies are getting back on line. We're getting there in the coming days. Many of the discographies are updated and corrected. One of the updated discographies is that of The Mighty Wonders of Winston-Salem, NC.
Born again comes from their only 45 on Sav-A-Soul. This label was owned by Bro. Al Andres who had a prolific career as gospel artist himself. Andres recorded for HSH, Jewel and, of course, his own Sav-A-Soul among other labels. We're still working on discographies of both the Sav-A-Soul label and Bro. Al Andres' recording career.
Mighty Wonders of Winston-Salem,NC – Born Again (Sav-A-Soul 0017):
In January 2007 I started with the Just Moving On blog and website. It was fun to do, till the early months of 2011 when the blog software crashed a few times. After every crash it took my almost two days to get everything back online. The last crash in April 2011 was one too many and I decided to leave the blog offline for a couple of weeks. Weeks became months, became more than 2 years. The website remained online, although I didn't make any updates and didn't reply to emails. A little over a month ago I decided to get back in the saddle and get the Just Moving On blog back on line. The blog archive is beyond repair and cannot be put back online, unfortunately.
At the moment I'm transferring and updating the website and will start blogging in the coming days. All you have to do is to hold on a little while longer.

Cindy Ackerman of Montgomery Academy has a passion for a subject most find too difficult to enjoy
"I love math. To me, math is there is no answer unless you work to find that answer." Says Ms. Ackerman.
And Ms. Ackerman works hard to help her Calc and AP Calc students find those tough answers.
"I don't just skim the top, I go in depth so student truly understand what's going on." Says Ms. Ackerman.
This in depth approach has proven very successful, just last year all 12 of Ms. Ackerman's AP Calc scored a maximum five on the AP exam. An unheard of accomplishment and one she is very proud of.
"I am so proud of them they worked so hard." Says Ms. Ackerman.
That hard work and her students understanding is why she loves teaching.
"Oh my gosh, it is just such a joy to me when the light comes on its amazing." Says Ms. Ackerman.

Boiling Springs High School football's winningest all-time head coach, Bruce Clark, told school officials late Wednesday afternoon he's stepping down.
The announcement came just a week-and-a-half before pre-season practice begins.
Clark will remain at the school as a social studies teacher and gives no specific reason for the move. He says he'd like to resume his head coaching career in the future. He's coached since 1978.
Less than one week ago, I interviewed him about the upcoming campaign for his team, in which he talked extensively.
He said Wednesday night that "philosophical differences" with the school's administration led to his decision, which he says he "didn't see coming."
His Bulldogs won 39 games in his five seasons, including a program best 10 wins in 2011 that included a trip to the Big 16 Semi-Finals. His 2008 team produced the school's first-ever win over rival Spartanburg.
Using an ineligible player in the spring of 2009 led to a ban from the playoffs for an eight-win team that season.
He coached from a wheelchair since then following an error during neck surgery in the summer of 2009.
The district says longtime assistant coach Rick Tate has been named interim head coach for the upcoming season.
Keep checking back for the latest updates.

Q&A with Condo Managers Sarah Blechta and Laura Gregory
Last week I had the chance to sit down with Big Sky Resort's Sarah Blechta, Condominium Manager, and Laura Gregory, Assistant Condominium Manager, and chat about lodging, renting, and a little bit of everything vacation related. With more than 700 room options at the resort it takes a certain set of various skills and love for spontaneity to take on the condo management role. Here's what Sarah and Laura had to say:
Tell me a bit about what it takes to be a Condominium Manager at Big Sky Resort.
Laura Gregory: Where to begin? I think to be successful in this role you have to wear many hats at any given time. Every day there's a new challenge or something new to learn. During a normal work week, I am a satellite repair woman, internet specialist, accountant, housekeeper, photographer, PR spokeswoman, sales agent, maintenance advisor, and that's just to name a few.
Sarah Blechta: To be the Condominium Manager it takes attention to detail and a passion for helping people. We help owners, their friends and family, as well as their guests so we have to communicate well and know the owners and their properties.
What about Owner Appreciation Weekend should non-owners know about?
LG: Great question. Guests may not know, but we have a team of licensed property managers with more than 40 years of combined experience here at the resort. We offer a range of just under 500 different properties/ units that are available for rental and under our care. If they are interested in purchasing a second home and are looking for a way to subsidize the cost, joining our rental program is a great option.
Owner Appreciation Weekend is about creating awareness for the variety of services we offer here for guests and owners alike so we denote Labor Day weekend to show our appreciation for our partners. We wouldn't be able to offer the collection of lodging options to our guests without them. Our relationship with them as our business allies is essential to our success as a company, resort, and town.
SB: Our owners should care about this weekend because we want them to know how much we appreciate them and are grateful for the trust they put in us. It has been a hit year after year and gives our owners a chance to see us face-to-face in a fun environment.
What is the highlight of your day?
LG: Aside from getting my email inbox under 100? Laughs I would have to say, it's when I have the opportunity to make an impact on a guest's stay. You can't always control the things that happen to our guests. They may have had a bad flight, gotten lost on the way here, etc. but what you can do, is govern how you work with them afterwards, which hopefully turns their stay around. Sometimes the way you handle an issue makes more of an impact than the source of their discontent originally did.
SB: The highlight of my day and job is making a difference for an owner or a guest. Having the opportunity to create a memorable moment for them is what makes this job so great.
Highlight of your job?
LG: The thing I love most about my job is all of the special relationships I have worked to develop with our owners. There's nothing like calling up an owner to give an update on a project in their home and then you end up spending 30 minutes with them catching up on life. Or maybe you are lucky enough to catch them in the lobby at check in and they great you with arms wide open. Nothing is more valuable to me, than that kind of feedback.
Tell me about a time when you had a "this right here is why I do this job" moment.
LG: I think my first "ah- ha!" moment was when Sarah went on maternity leave my first winter (2011/ 2012) on the job. I was currently the Administrative Assistant and was thrown into the fire in the middle of February. There's nothing like learning on the job. Not only was my experience invaluable to my career here at the resort, but it was a great opportunity to show owners what I was capable of.
Understandably so, there were some owners that preferred to only speak with Sarah on matters of business as I was just the spreadsheet and filing gal. So when they had no choice but to speak with me, I worked my darndest to show them they could trust me to help. It was one of the greatest highlights of the whole experience that I was able to walk away with and was the most valuable feedback I could have asked for.
Any last thoughts?
LG: Just that I truly hope our owners know how much we sincerely love what we do and we are here for them when they need us. It really has been a pleasure getting to know them over the past 3 years as well as meeting all of the new Moonlight owners from the integration of two great resorts. I can only look forward to what is to come.
Owner's Appreciation Weekend is going on right now, August 28-31.

Bringing the funk to Big Moon Rising
The Family Stone began touring a few years ago as quasi-tribute band quasi-Sly and the Family Stone reunion band. The Family Stone boasts three original members from Sly and the Family Stone including saxophonist Jerry Martini, aka Papa J, drummer Greg Errico, and trumpeter Cynthia Robinson. Needless to say this is more than your average funk band this is rock greatness coming to Big Sky Resort.
In 1969, Sly and the Family Stone played perhaps their most memorable show at Woodstock in Bethel, New York. A band as vital to rock history as The Family Stone deserves more than just a little praise as they promise to bring the funk and fun this weekend and preserve that memorable psychedelic funk sound. And that's just Saturday night at Big Sky Resort's inaugural Big Moon Rising Music Festival August 29-30.
Friday night promises just as much funk and improve as Saturday with New Orleans' best funk band Dumpstaphunk.
"Dumpstaphunk has grown from a small side project into one of New Orleans' most prestigious modern funk ensembles," said Benjy Eisen of Rolling Stone in the late-May 2013 issue. This is no ordinary funk band, but a 5-piece blues, soul, and rock ensemble that attacks and entertains. If Rolling Stone's street cred isn't enough, The New York Times called Dumpstaphunk the best funk band from New Orleans. Enough said.
Following the main acts at Big Moon Rising will be after parties at Whiskey Jack's featuring Cure for the Common on Friday night and Andrew Gromiller and the Organically Grown on Saturday.
Opening acts include more jazz and funk with multi-instrumentalist Keller Williams and Bozeman's own Andrew Gromiller. It's a weekend not to be missed.

Vine & Dine 2014 at Big Sky Resort featured more than 30 wineries, delicious food from a dozen amazing chefs, including Google's Global Program chef Scott Giambastiani, and music from jazz extraordinaire's Anna Wilson with Jazz Your Azz Band and McTuff. The weekend was also full of amazing wine education from sommeliers Fred Dame and Jay Fletcher. Take a look at the photo highlights from luncheons, tastings, and The Wine Stroll. Join us next year for Vine & Dine on August 13-16, 2015.

A Big Sky Tour-de-food
Walking into the Jack Creek Grille at Big Sky Resort, the first thing you'll probably notice is the amazing views. Like dining in the company of Lone Peak, the towering north side of Big Sky's signature mountain lays before you almost within reach. And if you're lucky enough to be there around the sunset hour, the alpenglow will most likely be as entertaining as the friends or family that you're dining with.
But views aside, dining is really why you're there, right? Located in the Moonlight Lodge, Jack Creek Grille has a comfortable lodgey atmosphere with a touch of elegance thrown into the mix, and the cuisine follows suit. The well-thought out menu features classic go-to items-burgers, steaks, chicken and fish-with Montana flair.
"We aim for farm to table type fare," says Executive Chef Bryan Devlin. "We use heirloom grains like hominy and faro, local cheeses and meats, even trout from the nearby Paradise Valley."
For lunch you'll find a bison or Wagyu beef burger made with Montana-raised meats, salads using as much local produce as possible, and fish tacos for a blend of healthy spice. For dinner there's a dryaged bison bone-in ribeye (that tends to fly off the shelves), local trout served with kale, elk served with hearty grits, and duck with caramelized beets, just to name a few. * And the wine list to accompany the meal is equally as intriguing.
The Jack Creek Grille, views and all, are the complete Montana package.
*The menus change with the seasons and available produce.

Vine & Dine Festival: Highlights from an Insider
I've been working on Vine & Dine Festival at Big Sky Resort alongside Steve Merlino, event foodie extraordinaire. The event takes place August 14-17, and it's a smorgasbord of world-renowned chefs, sommeliers, and vineyards. Here are the highlights from one of the organizers, and it's not too late to grab tickets at the door for any of these:
Asado is a traditional Argentinian beef dish cooked on a "parrilla," or campfire grill for us Montanans, and the Thursday night feature event for the inaugural Vine & Dine. Not only is Asado a unique Barbeque experience, but it's close to sold out so stop reading this and get a ticket now. (I'll take this out if I can't post this afternoon, I think Asado is still interesting even though it's sold out).
After Thursday the heat gets hot at Vine & Dine with food from Google's Global Program Chef Scott Giambastiani who will be serving lunch and sharing a little bit about what he calls the "food revolution." As Google may one day take over our entire society (and the world), I suggest this lunch for THE lunch to attend on Friday (ok it's also the ONLY lunch on Friday). Needless to say it's going to be delicious, informative, and I may just ask Giambastiani to autograph my napkin.
Friday also consists of two seminars (remember, this isn't the average sit-in-an-auditorium-and-fall-asleep seminar, but a drink-wine-and-enjoy-life seminar): Tasting the Master's Way and Touring the Italian Countryside. Tasting the Master's Way features World-renowned sommeliers Fred Dame and Jay Fletcher (both featured in Jason Wise's "Somm" documentary which won Best Documentary at San Luis Obispo International Film Festival). Dame and Fletcher will take us on an "entertaining tasting of carefully chosen wines." One seminar with these two and I'm hoping to be able to pass the prestigious Master Sommelier Exam. Kidding! That exam has one of the lowest pass rates of any exam in the world, which means who better to learn wine from than two of the top ranking somms?
A few more things must be mentioned. Friday night featured Vintner dinners all around Big Sky including Lotus Pad, Olive B's, Buck's T-4, and Saturday night features the headline event: The Wine Stroll. The Wine Stroll takes tasters through the Mountain Village at Big Sky Resort and through the vines of Oregon, South America, Washington, and countless other places. If there's only one event to go to, it's The Wine Stroll.
Before The Wine Stroll tasters can take to Lone Mountain and explore the pinots from 11,166 feet or while ziplining through the forest. Then enjoy any number of seminars and lunches such as Cheese & Wine: One Stinky Good Time or Jay Fletcher's Old Vines of Northern Spain. Essentially we've made it so no taster can go wrong at any of these events.
Last, and certainly the least amount of wine, is Sunday's "Where's the Wine" Brunch, featuring bellinis, mimosas, and Bloody Marys, and, ok, wine.
I'll be enjoying Vine & Dine all weekend, join me for wine and food from around the world.

The 10 best Cheap Eats restaurants on Long Island
The quest for high-quality food at prices that don't pinch is ongoing. And — as this list proves — highly rewarding. Instead of foie gras and lobster, consider tucking into a first-rate fish taco. Or the kind of rotisserie chicken that can make your heart spin. How about restaurant-smoked sausage? Crisp-juicy down-home Southern fried chicken? Or order some mini-meatballs as addictive as popcorn. When it comes to keeping you well fed but financially flush, these 10 restaurants take pride, not shortcuts. -- JOAN REMINICK, email@example.com

Equality Alabama is speaking out following the suspension of Phil Robertson from the hit A&E series 'Duck Dynasty' for comments he made in regards to homosexuality.
The organization's statement reads:
"When Phil Robertson, the Duck
Dynasty star, said that being gay is a "sin" and called it "not logical" — and
also insinuated that homosexuality somehow leads to beastiality and adultery —
he set off a media firestorm of criticism from LGBT advocates. Equality
Alabama's mission is to advance equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender Alabamians through education and advocacy. As such, we were
disheartened to hear these comments, as they perpetuate ignorance about gay men
and women and give license to bully and ostracize people who are different.
We were excited about the
recent announcement that the United States will send three openly gay former
Olympic athletes in its official delegation to the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi,
Russia. These three brave Americans — Billie Jean King, Caitlin Cahow, and
Brian Boitano — are role models for their willingness to stand in the face of
Furthermore, Mr. Robertson's
comments have distracted from real issues facing LGBT Americans. A&E
Networks, which airs the popular reality TV show, quickly announced yesterday
that had suspended the star from filming indefinitely — tantamount to a paid
leave of absence. Ironically, gay men and women in Alabama can still be fired
simply for being gay. Alabamians believe in the Golden Rule: Do unto others as
you would have them do unto you. No one should be fired from a job because of
who they are. And that's a constructive conversation Equality Alabama would
like to have with leaders across this state."
The Robertson family has issued a statement of its own in regards to A&E's decision to suspend the star of the show saying they "cannot...go forward without our patriarch".
