Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Top Local Tips for Crete
Golf If you like golf there is a wonderful golf course about 40km away about 45 mins drive. Don't be put of if you have family with you it is right next door to the water park. I walked round with my hubby but you could always drop the wife and kids at the park before you go golf. Well worth a visit.
Getting About (in and around Ag. Nic) Although there is a bus stop directly outside the hotel, we simply got a cab from 'A' to 'B'. You don't need to worry too much about getting into Aghios Nicolaos as able bodied people will surely enjoy a 30 minute walk to get into the main part of town. If however, you'd like to see Elounda or Kritsa, I'd suggest a taxi. Buses to Elounda are frequent but can be quite busy. There could be a possiblity you'd have to stand on the bus for the journey. A taxi to Elounda 6- 8 euros. We got a taxi to Kritsa for 13 euros from the hotel. On arrival we made an appointment with the driver to pick us up from the same spot where he left us. Sure enough, he turned up on time and we got back to the hotel safely.
Bottomless lake Eat in the centre of Ag Nik around the bottomless lake, ambience is superb

joplin college student pleads guilty to attempting
to produce child porn,
faces 20 years in prison
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Beth Phillips, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that a Joplin, Mo., man pleaded guilty in federal court today to sexually exploiting three minors in an attempt to produce child pornography.
Harry Sneed, 19, of St. Louis, Mo., a student at Missouri Southern State University in Joplin, pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge James C. England to the charges contained in a May 12, 2010, indictment. Under the terms of today's plea agreement, Sneed will be sentenced to 20 years in federal prison without parole if the District Court judge accepts the plea agreement.
Sneed admitted that he sent a series of e-mail messages to three 11-year-old minors, urging them to send him sexually explicit photos of themselves. Sneed portrayed himself as a 14-year-old girl who belonged to a "secret modeling agency," and promised the victims they could earn a lot of money working for the agency. Sneed also admitted that he sent images of child pornography to the victims. None of the victims complied with Sneed's requests.
Joplin police officers arrested Sneed at his dormitory room on March 18, 2010. Investigators searched his computer and found hundreds of photo and video files of child pornography.
By pleading guilty today, Sneed also agreed to forfeit to the government a laptop computer and five USB flash drives.
A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney James J. Kelleher. It was investigated by the Joplin, Mo., Police Department, the St. Louis County, Mo., Police Department and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
Project Safe Childhood
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice. Led by United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section (CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state and local resources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Internet, as well as to identify and rescue victims.

┬Ā 10/23/13 Marcy Sickmiller of MillerŌĆÖs Senior Living Community in Plymouth kept her audience laughing throughout her program Friday afternoon which she titled ŌĆ£Unusual JewelryŌĆØ.┬Ā
ŌĆ£I had all this different jewelry in a shoe box which I marked ŌĆ£junk jewelryŌĆØ on the outsideŌĆØ, began Sickmiller.┬Ā ŌĆ£And then I thought, ŌĆśwait a minute, this isnŌĆÖt junk, itŌĆÖs pretty nice jewelry if you have the guts to wear itŌĆÖ!ŌĆØ
As the laughter died down, Sickmiller slowly began reaching in her box and piece by piece she brought out her unusual jewelry and told a story about each piece.┬Ā Some of the jewelry she had crafted over the years and other pieces are things she purchased at craft shows or were gifts from friends.
The first necklace she displayed from her unusual collection was a yo-yo necklace.
ŌĆ£Now these arenŌĆÖt yo-yoŌĆÖs like the toy where you make it go up and down on a string,ŌĆØ declared Sickmiller.┬Ā ŌĆ£These are the kind of yo-yoŌĆÖs that you make out of a round circle of material.┬Ā You can just make so many things out of yo-yoŌĆÖs and decorate them all different ways.ŌĆØ
Other unusual pieces included button earrings, crocheted necklaces with hanging buttons, a Macadamia nut necklace which was on loan from a friend, a pop tab bracelet, a ŌĆ£material beadŌĆØ necklace, button necklaces, cotton ball necklaces, an Arizona seed necklace, clothes pin angel and doll pins, a prayer necklace made from pieces of church bulletins, and a lovely keepsake necklace encased in sterling silver made from a small piece of a china plate.┬Ā
At various intervals during the program Sickmiller gave out attendance prizes.┬Ā Those receiving jewelry items were Jean Schricker, Katie Kaminski and Nancy Bannon.
Sickmiller ended her program with a helpful tip.
ŌĆ£Now remember,ŌĆØ suggested Sickmiller, ŌĆ£if you lose one earring, donŌĆÖt throw the other one away.┬Ā You can always hang the leftover one on a chain and make a necklace out of it!ŌĆØ
She then invited everyone to come up to the table and look over her collection of unusual jewelry.

Guinea pig compost machines
We recently adopted two guinea pigs from some old neighbours who moved overseas.
Besides being super cute pets for the kids, the guinea pigs are also proving to be excellent composting machines and lawn mowers.
Although they are small they sure can eat and poo a lot.
Feeding guinea pigs
Besides a guinea pig food mix we buy occasionally, we mostly feed our guinea pigs vegetable scraps from the kitchen, grass and rampant weeds from the garden like wandering jew and dandelions. Our guinea pigs particularly love little yellow dandelion flowers, and I love the way our weeds are declining in the garden.
Guinea pigs are vegetarian so will generally eat most vegetable and some fruit scraps. However, it's good to stay away from feeding them iceberg lettuce, potato peelings, cabbage, cauliflower, raw beans or rhubarb.
Our guinea pigs particularly like cucumber, spinach, carrots and apples. Be careful not to feed guinea pigs apple cores because they can be poisonous.
Housing guinea pigs
Along with the guinea pigs we also received a hatch and a smaller cage with no floor that we move around the backyard. I guess it's a kind of a guinea pig tractor. Our little fur balls stay out there most of the day while munching on the lawn. I figure if I keep moving it around the lawn we may never have to mow it again.
This may be wishful thinking because their poo and urine seems to be adding a nice organic fertiliser to the lawn, which is encouraging it to grow even faster. My kids' new mantra has become "eat faster little piggies, eat!" And eat they sure do.
Keeping guinea pigs cool
It's important to keep guinea pig cages out of the heat so a nice shady spot in the garden is vital or – as many people have told me – guinea pigs will "cark it" if they get too hot. My well-meaning hair dresser suggested air conditioning on hot days but I think a nice shady spot under the trampoline will suffice.
Poo and compost – the good stuff
Guinea pig bedding in the cage is perfect for composting so don't throw it out.
We always line the cage with newspaper and straw so when we clean it out I just throw all of the straw, paper, poo and uneaten food into our compost bin. There's no waste, and our garden eventually reaps the rewards.
I've even heard of people making a liquid fertiliser out of guinea pig droppings by mixing 1 part droppings with 2 parts water. I haven't tried this yet so let me know if you have. Has anyone else found their guinea pigs useful in the garden? Please share below.

are presented to the test system as compared with that which occurs in the human situation. Despite these limitations, the use of cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) from MS has provided insight into the relative carcinogenic potential of various constituents in the MS of cigarettes. Similar studies using suitable condensates from SS and aged ETS could provide additional data on the effects of ETS.
Several methods are available to evaluate the potential health effects of inhaled pollutants. Some common ones are whole-body exposure, head-only exposure, nose- or mouth-only exposure, lung-only exposure, or partial-lung exposure. Since the primary objective of an inhalation experiment is to determine the effects of the test substances or mixture on the respiratory system, it is preferable to eliminate or limit exposure through the skin or through ingestion (such as through contact with materials deposited on the fur or contaminated food and water).
Three methods have been used to determine the amount of material deposited in the respiratory tract (Phalen, 1984): direct measurement, calculations using airborne concentrations and uptake models, and calibration of the exposure apparatus using tracer substances. Direct measurement requires analysis of major components and their metabolites in tissues as well as in urine and feces or measurement of the amounts of material in the inspired and expired air. Aside from calculating dose based upon particle aerodynamic size and physiological data on lung function of experimental animals, tracers can provide reasonable estimates of exposure.
Inhalation exposure chambers are used for those studies in which whole-body exposure is desired. The ability to expose a large number of animals at one time and the absence of a need to restrain or anesthetize the animals are among the advantages in using this approach. There are, however, several major disadvantages. The animals are exposed through skin absorption and mouth ingestion and, in prolonged instances, by food and possibly water contamination. Animals tend to avoid exposure in such

January 15 2014 - Women With Heart to Celebrate Two Smith County Women
January 15, 2013
For Immediate Release
For more information:
Amanda Roberson
Public Information Officer
Trinity Mother Frances
(903) 531-4542
TYLER, TX - In recognition of February as National Heart Month, Louis and Peaches Owen Heart Hospital at Trinity Mother Frances and KYTX CBS 19 are preparing to celebrate two remarkable Smith County women who have battled and conquered, cardiac disease with the help of Trinity Mother Frances Louis and Peaches Owen Heart Hospital and exude a spirit that has inspired others.
Throughout the month of November, TMFHC and KYTX CBS 19 received nominations and called for community votes during December. The two women voted to represent Smith County are Lena Callender and Susan Roberts. Please read a short story about their triumphs over heart disease below.
According to statistics from the American Heart Association, heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases cause approximately half of all deaths in American women and one out of three women over age 65 has some form of heart disease. No longer is it considered a disease suffered only by men. We hope you will help us spread the word about our 'Women With Heart' event to those in your community.
Ms. Callender and Ms. Roberts will be honored during a special evening of food, fellowship, and learning Tuesday, February 4, 5:30 p.m. at the Tyler Rose Garden. The dinner is free and open to the public. It will educate attendees about the risks for heart disease, and feature a fashion show, door prizes, and informational booths. Seating is limited; please call (903) 531-5678 to reserve your spot today.
Smith County 'Women With Heart'
Lena Callender never thought she would find herself living in Tyler, Texas. Yet, after twenty-nine years in the remote wilderness of Alaska, she finds herself on Texas soil. She moved to Tyler last year for our state-of-the-art heart care since her doctor told her she needed to be closer to a place that provided excellent medical care. At the age of 82, she is a living testimony to the pioneer spirit of the Alaskan woman - determined to overcome her health challenges by partnering with the physicians and caregivers at TMF.
Susan Roberts suffered a heart attack in October of 2011 and underwent coronary bypass surgery. She had 4 bypasses! She completed cardiac rehab and has embraced a healthy lifestyle. She speaks to women about the atypical symptoms of heart disease for women and the importance of not ignoring symptoms, and has been known for going door-to-door in her neighborhood handing out "Red Dress" pins to educate women about heart disease. Instead of being a victim of heart disease, she took charge and has become an evangelist.

Fidelity National Financial, Inc. Completes Subsequent Offering Period For J. Alexander's Corporation Tender Offer
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), a leading provider of title insurance, mortgage services and restaurant and diversified services, today announced the successful completion of the subsequent offering period relating to the tender offer through its wholly-owned subsidiary, New Athena Merger Sub, Inc. ("Purchaser"), for all outstanding common stock of J. Alexander's (NASDAQ:JAX) ("J. Alexander's").
The subsequent offering period expired at 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on Wednesday, September 26, 2012. According to the depositary for the tender offer and J. Alexander's transfer agent, after acquiring all shares validly tendered during the subsequent offering period and the shares issued pursuant to the top-up option, Purchaser owns approximately 6,703,418 shares, representing approximately 90.5 percent of J. Alexander's outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis.
As a result of Purchaser's purchase of shares in the tender offer and the exercise of the top-up option, it will be able to approve the merger without the affirmative vote of any other J. Alexander's stockholder. After a one-month waiting period required under the Tennessee Business Corporation Act, Purchaser intends to merge with and into J. Alexander's in accordance with the "short-form" merger and other applicable provisions of the Tennessee Business Corporation Act. Following the merger, J.

Alexander's common stock not tendered will be cancelled and (except for shares held in treasury of J. Alexander's or by Purchaser) will be converted into the right to receive the same $14.50 in cash per share, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes, that was paid in the tender offer.
Following the merger, J. Alexander's common stock will cease to be traded on NASDAQ.

Ok, a preface here. It is the end of my work day and I am really tired and a bit loopy. So bear with me.
I finally have 3 medical bills under $100.
What makes it somewhat counterfiet is with more surgery at the Dermatologist, I am making very little, if any headway on the total medical and dental debt.
So, I have given up on worrying about the Dermatoligist bill. Or the PT for that matter. They are happy right now with a small, monthly, consistent payment. I really want to be done with these three smaller ones.
I am going to stop totalling my medical expenses.
Oh, and DD12 went back to counseling. So that will be a bill coming in for 3 copays for a total of $75. And $35 lab bill from derm. surgery. Plus the 20% of the surgery cost.
Therefore, I am going to enjoy my small victory of getting 3 of these down to a manageble level. Serenity, signing out....

Animal Health Services is the only certified Canine Semen Freezing Center in the North Valley and offers a huge range of reproductive services. Our goal is to provide the progressive breeder access to high quality frozen canine semen preservation and semen storage.
The semen we collect is stored at Synbiotics. Synbiotics is a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of veterinary diagnostics and services for veterinary practices, reference laboratories and animal breeders world-wide. With headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, Synbiotics develops and manufactures products from facilities in San Diego, California and Lyon, France. Synbiotics is an American Kennel Club accredited canine semen freezing and storage center.
Do I need to bring any paperwork? Yes – We will mail you the appropriate forms prior to your appointment. We will also need copies of the dog's AKC (or other organization) registration and front and side photos.
Do you have semen I can buy to get my bitch pregnant? As the semen remains the property of the stud dog's owner, we do not sell semen. It is the bitch owner's responsibility to find the stud dog. We may be able to refer them to responsible potential stud dogs owners, but typically that is not done.
Does my stud need to have any tests performed? Yes. A brucellosis test needs to be done, and an AKC DNA profile is required for the offspring to be registerable. These tests can be performed during the semen collection visit.
At what age is best to collect semen from my stud dog? Young dogs typically have better quality sperm. Successful collections can be done on older dogs, but between the ages of 2 – 5 are ideal.
Does it matter if this is my studs first time? If the stud has never been used (bred) or collected, we recommend doing a "clean-out" collection approximately one week prior to freezing. This serves to both remove old, dead sperm from the pipes plus allows us to do a preliminary evaluation and make sure there are no major concerns.
Does it make a difference if it has been awhile since my stud's previous collection? If he has not been used or collected within the last six months, a clean-out collection should be performed approximately one week prior to the freezing visit.
How long does the collection appointment take? Depending on the dog, typically the appointment time is between 15 and 30 minutes. The staff will then spend time doing the actual freezing process for 3 – 5 hours. Make An Appointment.
How far in advance should I make my appointment? We can usually get you in within 3-5 days. We take appointments Monday through Friday before 11:00am. These times are needed to accomodate the collection, freezing and shipping process.
Can I be present during the procedure? Yes, we encourage you to stay. We find the patient is more comfortable with their owner present.
How many breedings will I be able to get from each collection? The number of breedings obtained will be dependant on the quantity collected, sperm count and motility (percentage swimming). It can vary from zero to 15+ breedings from one collection.
Are samples ever declined or not suitable for freezing? Yes. If the sperm count is too low (it ideally should be close to 100 million sperm/ml), motility is too low (less than 20% are swimming properly) or the sperm don't survive the freezing process. The older the dog the less likely of obtaining a satisfactory collection, and some medical conditions may affect semen quality.
What do I do when I am ready to use the semen? Contact Synbiotics to arrange shipping. Ideally do this as soon you know it's going to be used. In some cases we can do storage on-site, but at this time we do not have shipping containers available, so the samples could only be used locally.
How do I know my dog will cooperate with the collection? Usually not a problem! We highly recommend the use of a "teaser bitch" who is in full estrus. If the stud dog owner does not have access to a bitch in heat, we can usually borrow one from a breeder client. The quality of the collection will always be higher with a teaser bitch regardless of the males' libido.
Is there anything I can do to improve the quality of my stud dog's semen? Sperm count and motility can be affected by disease, excessive heat, trauma, medications, stress, nutrition, age, libido and other factors. If your dog has been used and not produced puppies, we recommend a complete reproductive examination, which may include semen analysis, bloodwork, ultrasound or other diagnostic measures.
How long is frozen semen viable? Indefinitely. While semen freezing in dogs has only been done for about 25 years, the same technology has been successfully used in horses and cattle for many years. Using almost 20 year old semen we produced a litter of 12 puppies.

Michelle Obama, Valerie Jarrett, David Axelrod, Susan Sher and their roles played in the University of Chicago Medical Center patient dumping scheme and the whole Obama Culture of Corruption
Michelle Malkin's new book entitled Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies (Hardcover) now available on Amazon, among others is creating quite a stir. So much so, that according to "The Other McCain":
Republicans on Capitol Hill are taking a fresh look at one of the seedier Chicago stories from Barack and Michelle Obama's past in ratcheting up the debate on Obamacare: the University of Chicago Hospital's "Urban Health Initiative," which Michelle Obama ran prior to her taking a leave of absence to campaign with her husband in 2007. . . .
It wasn't just Obama's wife who was involved in creating the program. Senior White House adviser and political strategist, David Axelrod, and his PR firm in Chicago were retained to develop a media campaign to encourage area residents not to use University of Chicago as a medical facility. Senior White House official, and Obama friend, Valerie Jarrett served on the board of directors of the hospital and approved the plan for the Urban Health Initiative, and the hiring of Axelrod. . . .
Be sure to also check out The Other McCain's website. (another site i love to read everyday).
With Malkin's appearance on Hannity tonight discussing her new book, some liberals apparently didn't like it. One such e-mail was about "How do you, an Oriental, get on national TV and say and write such hard things about the President"
Looks like Malkin's book is a smashing success, much to the dismay of liberals. Its been out 2 days, and its already #1 on Amazon's best seller list!
Update 7/29/09 – Malkin's syndicated column adds to the dossier with a round-up of fresh Bully Boy moments from Obama using the "Chicago Way". She also appeared on the Today Show earlier in the day (i'm sure those libtards couldn't stand it).

Great review... I love the ruffled dress (though according to you, it's too big) and the swimsuit cover-up (you gave this a thumbs-up).
Have a great day! xoxo

I loved almost everything they had. My store seems to be putting out stuff each day to replenish. I went to one Target and they had a tone of stuff. I bought so much stuff I need to go on a Target ban for a few days. I bought several boxes to help reorganize my room, 3 dresses (one from the kids section), 2 halter tops, the green and yellow print duffle with matching wallet, 2 canisters(one for my desk, and one for my bathroom to hold cotton pads), a pink floral cup for paper clips, and the tall glass for a pencil cup, 2 candles, the wavy floral print quilt, the peacock pillow and the paisley pillow, a lidded box for my rings, and 2 pink floral bowls to hold my bracelets. I've become obsessed and need an intervention.

I also forgot the nightgown and 3 pairs of men's boxers for myself for the summer. HELP MEEEE!!!

I love the new blog look! I think the 3 column layout suits you well too :o) Yay for blog makeovers!!
Great LOL review! I personally not a fan of the collection, only because I'm not a big "floral print" person. If I was to go for anything in this collection, it would be the floral wellies. Those look cute & perfect for the Spring!

Love the new layout! Ah I've already expressed some of my frustration with the LoL collection - the dresses I loved were just wayy too big! I think I'm going to end up returning them all, I was going to try to get one altered but my tailor estimated it would be about $50 to shorten and take in which didnt seem worth it in my opinion. Oh well! I didn't know about Cynthia Vincent - exciting!

Ugh, big boobs ruin everything sometimes, don't they? I swear to god, the amount of pretty tops or dresses I've had to forgo because the boobs got in the way...grr. Lol.
Aww those rainboots are too cute! I bought a similar pair a little while ago, and they ripped pretty quickly. I was so peeved because I paid soo much and I was just ripped off. But this is a different designer so you probably wont' have the same problem. :)
p.s. love the new layout! Why were you in a funk last week..?

@tracie - YES! can you believe this kid gave me the weirdest look when i was buying them? i was like..puh-leez these are so comfy haha :P .. i have a feeling they're going to come on clearance at my target when the collection ends. only because i don't think the men around here would buy those LOL .. so i'm hoping to score more!
- March 23, 2010 at 10:59 PM
Have you gotten the other dresses yet? I wanted to order a petite maxi dress but I wasn't sure how long it was. I got the pink and blue one from the girl's section and the x large fit nicely. I also sewed the straps down in the back to cross over and removed the pockets to make it less young girl.
- March 24, 2010 at 12:00 AM

@tracie i had difficulty with all of the kids items :( they didn't work on me at all..but maxi dresses never seem to work for me! lol.. i wanted to order a petite maxi dress too but i wasn't sure either. i wanted to wait to see them in person but then i found out that they only have it online :( all of the other dresses i was pretty happy with though!

etoile Restaurant Chef Perry Hoffman named FOOD & WINE's 'The People's Best New Chef: California'
The dining public selects Napa Valley-based chef as the most promising up-and-coming culinary talent in California.
etoile Restaurant at Domaine Chandon is pleased to announce that Chef Perry Hoffman has been named FOOD & WINE's The People's Best New Chef in the California region. Hoffman, nominated for the second-consecutive year, along with nine other chefs in the California region, was the only Napa Valley-based chef in contention. According to FOOD & WINE, he received the nomination because of his attention to pairings, which yields dishes that are balanced and harmonious.
"It truly is an honor to be named Food & Wine's The People's Best New Chef in California," said Chef Perry Hoffman. "To be recognized by the dining public and the sophisticated readers of FOOD & WINE magazine is a tribute to the culinary team at etoile, and our dedication to delivering seasonally-inspired cuisine, paired with exceptional wines."
At etoile, Hoffman draws inspiration for his cuisine from extensive gardens, located just steps from the kitchen, and from daily interaction with Domaine Chandon's winemaking team, which allows him to create fresh, seasonal dishes with wine in mind. Hoffman's innovative, wine-inspired cuisine is expertly paired with award-winning wines, setting the stage for the ultimate food and wine experience. Seasonally-changing menu highlights include: Dungeness crab and heirloom carrots with shrimp mousse, tangerine and sorrel; sea urchin fettuccini with heirloom radishes, kumquats, foraged greens and fennel; and Liberty Farms duck breast with yam purée, roasted leeks, pink peppercorns and moro blood orange.
Now in its second year, the award, an extension of the FOOD & WINE Best New Chefs program, honors talented up-and-coming innovators who have run their own kitchens for five years or fewer. The dining public determined The People's Best New Chef winner via online voting, which took place from March 5 through March 11, 2012.

About Joanie
Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Joanie Ryan and I am a sophomore here at William Woods University! I am a Biology major (Pre-vet concentration) and I have Equestrian Science, American Sign Langue, and Chemistry minors. I love having the opportunity to take so many different kinds of classes!
One of the main reasons I chose William Woods University is because of the small campus atmosphere with lots of opportunities to get involved! Right now I am a member of Alpha Phi sorority, Biology Club, Pre-Vet Club, Campus Activities Board, Active Minds Club, the Honor's Program, University Ambassadors, and I am working closely with a faculty member on a Mentor/Mentee project. I enjoy being busy and involved so I can meet many new faces and try new things!
When I'm not on our beautiful campus, I live in Longmont, Colorado. When I'm at home, I can take a 45-minute drive to get to the heart of the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park, and the closest ski resort is only an hour away! Christmas break is the perfect time to go home and hit the slopes, but I am always ready to come back to school and catch up with my friends and professors.
Thank you for visiting my page and I hope you'll follow along as I spend another wonderful year here at William Woods University!

From the minute we walked in the staff greeted us in a friendly, helpful way. The room was spacious and well appointed. They even rent work out clothes - for those like me who forgot to bring mine along! We walked to the Rose Bowl for a UCLA game - no problem! And it is an easy walk to Old Pasadena, too. I would love to come back to this hotel.
despite my repititive request, the hotel can't provide me with the receipt so i can't reconcile the accounting in my company as this is a business trip, and I totally booked 18 nights stay!!!
After-sale services is really bad, I totally booked 18 rooms!!!
Location Friendly Staff Ambiance
Hotel appears to have been overbooked and the hotel was at the very last minute attempting to move us to alternative accommodation. As a visitor from outside the US having made detailed plans and chosen this hotel for a specific reason this is totally unacceptable. No transport available to take guests to Breeders cup event even though the hotel was advertised as a Breeders Cup hotel.
Everything else other than what I wrote on the right (What didn't you like).
The receptionist for the check-in.... we had this discussion about what's my last name (which is Or) and she questioned multiple times that my last name was Or. Isn't that strange? I showed her my passport, I showed her my booking document. In the end, I had to say "I don't get mixed up with my own last name" to stop her from further questioning/comments. And she didn't even apologize.... BTW, I am not sure what you think, I just feel that it is extremely rude to question one's last name. (Her questions were: "Your last name is "Or"?" (this question was asked multiple times); "Did you have another last name?"; "Oh, perhaps you key in your last name wrongly." etc)
staff, gym, patio
room wasn't quite big, and the rollaway wasn't that comfortable
Good and nice hotel
did not include complimentary items founds in other similar hotels such as slippers
Overall liked everything about the hotel but...because they were sold out their were a lot of loud people all throughout the night and early morning hours. Not the hotels fault they cannot control their guests but made for a early morning departure to go home and get some sleep
lack of sleep
Rooms were clean.
A bit cramp.
The staff was super nice and very eager to please.
I booked two queens and ended up with a king. I paid a little over $900.00 per night and just had a very "basic" room. I travel frequently and was a bit disappointed with the room. It was very clean and comfortable, I just felt that for the $ I should've had a little more.
Slow servants at the restaurant to long to get us a table
We were in pasadena for a concert at the rosebowl. The staff at the westin had made arrangements for shuttles and provided valuable information that made our trip so easy and hassle free. The staff was very pleasant and helpful especially the concierge staff. I would stay here again with pleasure.
Close to Old Town The beds are amazing
the walls are super thin, you can hear most everything
facilities the place is high standard close to several things to see
price didn't include obvious requirements Internet not free parking not free room a bit small
Hated the WIFI fees. It is a ripoff Especially at a higher end hotel. Should be included
Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Some went beyond the good service you would expect (especially Tina at the restaurant). Food was delicious, nice variety. The location was very close to Old Pasadena, museums, shops, and good restaurants.
Clean, comfortable room. Free shuttle delivery and pick up to a restaurant within 3 miles.
We like to sleep with the window open. The room faces Los Robles, so a bit noisy with open windows. Other side of the hotel would have been better.
A bit run down for $400 per night. Showers did not drain in the first room, the second room had paint damage on bathroom doors. Service is OK, location is good.
The staff was very friendly and helpful over the phone and once we arrived. Room service was very fast both times we ordered.
Our room was very small. Our view was of the stairwell and there were shutters over the window not drapes or blinds so the sunlight streamed in at first light. Also there was only a narrow desk and no end table so when we ordered room service it was a bit awkward. We didn't have much space to set down the trays. One of us had to eat at the narrow desk facing the wall. There was a club chair as well but no ottoman which we could have used to rest one of the trays. Strange set up.
Friendly staff, clean rooms, very comfortable bed.
A bit expensive for what you get.
The front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating
The shuttle was great!
We wished that you would have had a better late night menu. The lava cake dessert we ordered came with a cookie that looked like it was half eaten and I had the portabello wrap that just was regular mushrooms and was nothing like the discription and the arugula was mushy/old. We were very unsatisfied with our order. Oh and when we used the button to call express touch to order in it rang and rang for forever then I finally decided to call the concierge and they took my order
It is a little far of The tourist atractions of los ángeles And a little expensive to move by taxi. If I had a car I would like to stay at this hotel.
complementry rides to different locations, bringing nail clippers when i needed them at midnight
my first room didn't lock from outside but they gave me a better room excellent

Two lovely new additions to the wardrobe on today's post. I know, I know…spending ban has ended spectacularly. But only when the further reductions kicked in AND I've not spent more than £20 on any one item…trying too hard to justify so I'll stop now!
Friday saw the launch of Belfast Fashion Week so this is what I wore to the fabulously floral brunch organised by the team at CMPR and held in the Ulster Museum. I'll share more about this on another post.
|Fur Gilet – Room 31 (25% off with SGS25 at checkout!)
Cream blouse – M&S (last seen here)
Necklace – Promod (last seen here)
Further justifying the spending ban fail, this House of Deron fur gilet was actually gifted to me by Ruth at Room 31. It arrived along with an order I placed last week with her so was a lovely surprise. This is a size M which is a 10. House of Deron is in fact Beyonce's own clothing company that she runs with her mum and Room 31 stocks several items from the range but this is the most school-run friendly item. Super cosy but not really thick and heavy as its got a faux leather back (super on-trend!) so I was able to wear it easily under my mac all day.
|Jeans – Gok for TU @ Sainsburys
Boots – Zara
So onto the boots, which I had been watching on the Zara site since the sale began but I couldn't justify them at the first reduction to £49.99. So I held on and kept checking back and last week, there they were at £19.99…it would have been rude not to (I say that a lot in these situations). In fact, they are now only £16.99 but have almost totally sold out.
They are black leather with elastic stitched sides (no zip) and a rubber wedge. Super super high – 11 centimetres in fact! Perfect for dancing in, no?
Yes in fact because after I took these photos, I ran out the door for my choir weekend which started with a choreographed session to The Timewarp. So I ended up dancing for an hour in the boots. My feet ached a bit but I was still walking after it so they've most definitely passed the night out test.
Before I go, don't forget that this Friday is Rock Up In Red day for the British Heart Foundation. Have your red clothing/nails/shoes etc to hand on Friday as I've another Radley London limited edition red bag to give away to one lucky Facebook fan! More details on Facebook on Friday.

EGMT 635: Visual Systems Mapping for Engineers
Instructor: Miray Pereira
Description: Human resources (people) are the primary asset of all organizations. Yet corporate downsizing has led to a de-energized and overwhelmed workforce. To be successful today, businesses must learn to tap the vast reserve of creativity buried in the workforce and to apply that creativity to solving critical business problems.
Visual System Mapping (VSM), thorough whole-brain thinking, is a powerful technique based on more than 40 years of research. VSM was inspired by a technique known as "Mindmapping." Mindmapping is the advanced thinking and learning technique developed by Tony Buzan in the late 1960's. It was designed to improve the use of the brain, leading to enhanced creativity and better results.
When compared to traditional methods, VSM is proven to yield greater creativity, increase collaboration, and improved results while simultaneously reducing the time and effort required for success. When applied to personal or professional activities, practitioners can expect to have fun while virtually guaranteeing breakthrough outcomes.

Child molester sentenced to 40 years
ELLIS COUNTY - Convicted child molester Gene Edward Loftis, 57, was sentenced on Friday, April 8, to 40 years in prison by Judge Bob Carroll, 40th Judicial District Court of Ellis County.
Loftis, a resident of Waxahachie, pleaded guilty to the charge and he waived his right to appeal the sentence.
According to the affidavit, Loftis was known for selling candy and snacks from his apartment located on the 200 block of High School Road.
In June of last year, an 8-year-old victim told Waxahachie Police Loftis "pulled my panties down and stuck his pee-pee in my butt."
Loftis was arrested by WPD the same day and convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
County and District Attorney Patrick Wilson made the following statement:
"This crime is every parent's worst nightmare.
"Nothing can heal the damage that Loftis did to his victim and her family.
"But this plea agreement, entered into with their consent, means that little girl won't have to testify in open court against her abuser.
"And she and her family won't have to deal with the anxiety and uncertainty of a trial and appeal.
Practically speaking, Loftis will probably never again be a free man."
Loftis must serve a minimum of 20 years before he can be considered for parole.
Loftis pleaded guilty to the charge and he waived his right to appeal the sentence.

The Old Man and the Sting
As he sat in the Westin Diplomat hotel room with the "old man," then-Miramar Commissioner Fitzroy Salesman spoke of how he's a man of action.
The old man -- an undercover FBI agent whom Salesman believed was a wealthy construction magnate from up north -- asked him how he felt about taking money for helping his company get public construction projects in Miramar.
|Photo illustration of FBI agent McGowan
"Now you're talking my language," said the old man.
"You give as much as you get," Salesman said.
Then the old man got up to get the cash.
"I'm old-school," he told Salesman on the video. "I'm no angel."
"Neither am I," Salesman said, laughing. "I'm somewhat reformed. I've never been an angel."
The bribe was about to be paid, but first the old man, who played the role of construction big Mike Moretti but is actually Boston FBI agent Michael McGowan, gave him a chance to get out of it, telling him that if he didn't want to do it, he could walk out of the room.
That's when Salesman launched into his peculiar philosophy regarding right and wrong.
""I'm not interested in what is wrong or right because wrong or right can be perceived, depending on who you ask," Salesman said in the video. "It's a perception. My greatest concern is what
works... There's no right or wrong in the world. We're not talking about going out and murdering a little child."
Shortly after that, McGowan stood up, pulled 30 hundred bills out of an envelope, and counted out three stacks of $1,000 each on the table next to Salesman. The commissioner, still seated, calmly reached over and picked up all three stacks one by one, put them together, and, after holding the cash for some time in his hand, put them in his pocket.
|Salesman after court,
Salesman, though, didn't cooperate with the feds or strike a plea deal, so if he's found guilty, he will almost surely serve north of five years (the sentencing guidelines call for five to seven). Both federal prosecutors and Salesman's defense attorneys will give their closing arguments in the morning to the jury, which will then deliberate for a verdict.
The day started with the conclusion of testimony from FBI case agent John Osa, who managed the case and played a key undercover role as a "quasi-lobbyist" working for the old man in the front construction company used by the FBI, called Target. When chatting with Osa (often at Hooter's), Salesman played the role of tough guy.
"They don't fucking know you," Salesman told Osa at one point when they were discussing getting work in Lauderdale Lakes through then-Commissioner Hazelle Rogers, now a state representative. "They're talking to you because they know me."
During one meeting, Salesman said, "I'm gonna have one drink and get my ass out of here... I got two balls to go to tonight... at the same fucking time."
Ah, the hectic life of a politician. Salesman was also caught on tape trying to help Osa and other agents get work with Broward County through Eggelletion. Salesman set up a meeting between Eggelletion and the old man in May 2006. Eggelletion was supposed to help the agents get a county contract for building sidewalks, but it never materialized. Salesman at one point said Eggelletion "wanted to work behind the scenes." The agents' attempts to get Hazelle Rogers to secure them Lauderdale Lakes contracts also never came to fruition.
But Salesman had a "game plan" for the Target guys; they would take small jobs -- like a $34,000 gazebo project -- and once they'd proven themselves, they'd move up to the half-million range and beyond.
"You take the shit nobody else wants...," Salesman told Osa. "When the big shit arrives, I say, 'They earned their turn.'"
Osa hammered out a deal in which Salesman would get a 1 percent cut of the total cost of the projects he helped steer to Target. At one point when talking about another construction project, Osa said the kickback for Salesman would provide the commissioner "another trip to Hedonism," referring to the commissioner's professed love of the sex resort in his native Jamaica.
It was good stuff, but the finale was the entrance of the old man, who had been talked about so often at trial that he seemed almost a myth. "I'd love to see him," Salesman's friend and associate, Roxy Hare, told me in the morning. "They say so much about him."
|The meeting went down at the Diplomat
Again, he didn't have a large part in the FBI operation, but it was a vital one. He was not only a huge shadowy presence in the background of the investigation but he was the closer.
And his presence, along with the videotape, may have closed any door Salesman was hoping for to save his freedom. The defense attorneys, Jamie Benjamin and Daniel Aaronson, are hinging their defense on the idea that Salesman was working as a "consultant" legally while he was on suspension after getting hit with DUI and fleeing police charges.
The problem with that idea is that Salesman closed some of the deals with undercover agents after he was reinstated in March 2007. And the crucial meeting with the old man at the Diplomat occurred on July 28 of that year, four months after Salesman returned to office.
Salesman arrived at the luxury Hollywood hotel and initially met with Osa in the lobby. He was then led to McGowan's room, where he took a seat while the old man pretended to have a business conversation on the phone. After some small talk, McGowan and Salesman talked about his acquittal on the DUI charges. "The irony is these were my own police," said Salesman of the officers who arrested him.
McGowan asked him if he had to call him "Commissioner" now instead of Fitz.
"I hate the damn word...," said Salesman. "Call me Fitz."
Then Salesman began talking about what he could do for the old man and his company. He spoke of a park-building renovation that might amount to a $500,000 contract.
"Can we get our hands on that?" McGowan asked him.
"That is what I'm working on," Salesman said.
They also spoke of a project to build a gym floor (which Target ultimately completed). McGowan told him he expected to grow his business in Miramar since Salesman had returned to office.
"There is growth," Salesman said. "As a matter of fact, we're building a $22 million state-of-the-art cultural center right now."
Then he said he would help the company get part of $80 million in new capital improvement projects that year, including a new police department, a new command center for fire rescue, and other projects.
He said he'd just spoken with Miramar's chief operations officer, Lowell Borges, about Target. "Lowell is very happy," Salesman told McGowan. "Just spoke to him just now... He said there is more work in the pipeline."
Salesman summed up his value to the old man this way: "I'm in there, and that is what I do. I have a good relationship with the rest of the commission and the city managers. And that, as a matter of fact, is why Target is even in there now because there are a lot of people there... that wanted these [projects], you know, smaller companies that wanted thse gazebos and the floor. I called 'em; I said, 'Look... give it to you guys.'"
When McGowan asked Salesman if he was "satisfied" with previous payments for his efforts, the commissioner said he was. Soon thereafter came Salesman's pitch on right and wrong and the handing over of the money.
"You're my special friend in Miramar," McGowan said.
"We're on the same page," said Salesman.
Soon we'll see if the old man brought in his fish or if the jury lets him get away.

it was an excellent book. He shares some of his stocks that he is holding.
And in fact he shared that he was holding Tim Horton's stock long before this takeover by Burger King. I am only sorry I didn't by the stock when I read his book a while ago
It clearly explains what Canadian government benefits are available and what ones you will not be entitled to - depending on your situation, the combination of choices you make and $ amount you will or will not receive. With these facts, you can work out your best decesions before retiring.
It is also excellent for giving an overview of investing for younger workers.
This book states the fact without giving any information that can be used today. So duh, we know already that investments are bringing in terrible return and are pushing off retirement to later than expected. This book doesn't provide any useful answer to what we should we do about it.
Only a beginner might find this book useful.
