Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

More than two dozen police and firefighters were charged Tuesday in connection with a growing disability fraud scam. NY1's Michael Herzenberg filed the following report.
One by one, police walked 28 people into court to face arraignment on felony grand larceny and other misdemeanor charges. Prosecutors say 16 of the accused are retired NYPD officers and four used to be city firefighters.
"We obviously are devoting a lot of resources to it, we want to get the right result, we want to hold people accountable," said Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance.;
Vance says the defendants claimed post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety or depression, in some cases because of their association with the 9/11 attacks.
They allegedly collected between $32,000 and almost $400,000 in Social Security Disability Benefits, even though investigators say they could work.
"What's important, from our perspective, that all of us make sure that dollars that are reserved for the most needy go to the most needy and that those who steal from Social Security and take away from those that need it most, are held accountable for it," Vance said.
The same multi-year investigation led to 106 arrests in January for similar crimes. Seventy two of them were former cops who allegedly said they couldn't work.
But the DA released pictures which seemed to paint a different story of their health, one flipping the bird, another catching a fish.
Prosecutors also charged four alleged ringleaders Tuesday with conspiracy, saying they coached others to lie and received payments.
That's 134 people in total charged now. The DA says some may get jail time, others will not.
"Restitution will certainly be a requirement in all of the cases," said Vance.
Two of those initially charged have pleaded guilty.
The DA says the investigation continues.

We Have To Sacrifice a Generation For the Good of the Country
CFM linked to a chat board that includes conversations from America's finest.
It's depressing. Left-wing policies have created a generation of ignorant leeches. We're told through many PSA's that in order to end the cycle of abuse the buck has to stop for an entire generation. Let's take that advice. Pull the plug. The strong will survive, the rest can die. I really, really do not care. It's the prudent thing to do in order to save the entire country.

You know, I was going to make a smart joke, saying how Bad Brad is so on the mark and all, but really, in all seriousness, look at the sentiment and attitude of the hood. It's amazing. A powder keg waiting to blow. Indeed Brad, I'm certain they'll loot and burn if Obama loses; the President has had four years to screw around with "his people" who are easily manipulated and are now accustomed to thinking "they are in charge." I lived through the riots of the Sixties; "mass hysteria" is not a line of satire from Ghostbusters–it's real. In the chaos this time around many people are going to die on both sides. I'm in a segregated area, and I hope they can contain it miles down the road. I hope.Noteworthy Comment +37

Here's a small glimmer of hope. The engineering firm I work for recently hired a brand new graduate from a local (nationally known) university. He's a young black man who has told me the sad circumstances of his life. He wasn't really raised by a mother and father. He had no father and his mother wasn't around enough to be a parent. Probably a teenage mother. He himself "fathered" a baby at the age of 15. He's now 23. He dislikes his daughter's mother. She sounds like an idiot. He knows a LOT of people who sit around at home all day every day and watch tv… live off welfare. That's the kind of world he comes from. But he wasn't satisfied with it and he's doing something about it. He has somehow found the motivation to finish school, finish college, and is now moving into an apartment with room for his daughter in a nicer neighborhood. I don't know how he did it, but he's driven to succeed. He asks people how they can stand to just sit around all day. He asks them, why don't they DO something? He says he couldn't stand to live that way. It's too boring for him!
Note to race hustlers: He never encountered people telling him he can't do it because he's black. He actually can't figure out why others don't do the same thing.
The only remaining barrier is the mental barrier the democrats rely on to keep their evil hold on the weak. And maybe… just maybe, people are going to begin now to figure that out.Noteworthy Comment +38
This, boys and girls, is a good representation of my neighborhood. Nov 5th will be a day at the range. At least 200 rounds will be ran through the .40, 25 through the 12 ga. After that, a break down and thorough cleaning of all weapons. Nov 6th, I vote. Nov 7th , I pray.Noteworthy Comment +24
The Race & Class wars have many soldiers who do the bidding of people like "the Foreign National calling himself Obama", Rev. Wright, Rev. Sharpton, and each and every Leftist it seems at times.
They are (or have become through DECADES of Leftist Infiltration) the Ignorant Masses. Just try and discuss any topic with one of these sub-humans. Their brains are not wired the same as they are for people who have LEARNED to think for themselves. They are repositories for Talking Points and failed ideologies and they regurgitate those "arguments" as if they are truly real.
But, in fact, these people have been purposely disconnected from Reality for a larger purpose that has been coming to fruition these past few years. Our country is going in the shitter and they are the floaters and sinkers than inundate us to the point of helplessness. Well, some of us who give to them.
Hopefully, this election (regardless of the fixing going on in the battleground states) will BEGIN to turn our country around. And I can tell you what would be the single biggest impetus that would get us off to regaining our America – The indictment, trial, conviction, and execution of the most Treasonous president this country has ever experienced.Noteworthy Comment +24

These parasites better develop a hunger for lead pretty quickly, once the tipping point has been reached. That's all I'll be feeding them.+9
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that social media really doesn't live by the tried and true adage, "Better to remain silent and have people think you're stupid, than to log onto your social media account, post a status and remove all doubt."Noteworthy Comment +22
I see the need for Bill Cosby's "How not to speak ebonics." Hopefully they won't vote. It's so sad how many people fall in this category of ass-wipes.+6
We have already passed the tipping point. Half the nation is on assistance and the parasites won't give this up easily. Like a huge tapeworm entrenched in America's large intestine, there's gonna be some tearing and gouging as they are forcibly disengaged and flushed out of the system.
You think the posts are bad? Our local jail has exercise areas where the windows are heavily barred, but open during nice weather. You should hear the baby mommas standing on the sidewalk screaming up at their baby daddies who are playing b-ball at taxpayers expense. Foul-mouthed ignorant harpies screeching and waving their little welfare bastards at criminals. It's like a scene out of 19th century Calcutta.
@Mr. Gates – no disrespect sir, but one man out of a thousand is not going to make any difference at all.Noteworthy Comment +15
@pissedpatriot: You're taking it because you're scared shitless of the IRS.+4
This is funny, scary, disgusting, infuriating and revealing all at once.
The teachers and parents didn't have anything to with this attitude though.+3
When Romney will win, — yes, I now think he will, — watch out for those modahfockahs, because they WILL form flash mobs, many of which will degenerate into URBAN RIOTS.
In the name of their food stamps and ObamaPhones and whatnots.+9
We go 50 years into the future and see a little boy talking to his Grandfather – Skillet, one of the posters from the chat board.
Boy – "Grandpa Skillet, what did you do when you were younger?"
Skillet – "I gots me a gud ETB card an my sec8 voucher so I's cud sit aroun watch TVee all day"
Boy – "But Grandpa, what did you do with your life?"
Skillet – "Boy aint u been hear wat i tellin you? I gots me a gud ETB card and my sec8 voucher so I sit around watch the tvee all day."
Boy – "Grandpa Skillet, did you ever have a job?"
Skillet – "Boy u stpuid, whas job did I have, you really dumb boy."+7
Lock and load fellow patriots. No matter who wins this election these subhumans will be in everybody's neighborhood continuing to leech out what never has belonged to them. Where is the outrage that OUR rights have been shredded?!+8
My take – if there is rioting the national guard, homeland security, and regular army will be mobilized. (posse comatitus was gutted years ago) They have been practicing and fighting urban warfare for years.
If the leeches of society riot they will be contained, shot, and the survivors sent to FEMA camps.
Socialist utopia has no use for leeches. If he is not re-elected he will handle the riots. The free stuff is part of the plan to identify the slackers. We the workers, will be protected because we produce. Sure the mobs will take out some of us, unavoidable.
And of course, I suppose the intellectuals and elite will be sent to camps as well.+3
Couldn't agree more. We just have trash humanity all over the place. It's time to hit the reset button.+4
Spread a rumor that EBTers taste like fried chicken and the problem will take care if itself.+3
These are the people who will be rioting when the entitlements are cut off. Those who are prepared will see them soon enough in a set of gun sights. I hope the authorities sit back and let them burn and destroy, just like L.A. in '92. This time, don't rebuild anything. Let them live in their own destruction and learn what poverty really is.Noteworthy Comment +12

Fifty years of the Great Society and this is what we have to show for it. Disgusting animals.Noteworthy Comment +11
First- no one is going to cut off the entitlements; not Romney, certainly. But a stupid and easily gulled population can be led to believe anything.
Second- they will riot whether Obama wins or loses, just like they riot whether their basketball team wins or loses.
Third- The great experiment in civilizing the negro is winding down to its inevitable failure. Africa is Africa because it's full of Africans. Transplant them here, and you may glean out the few exceptions, but the vast majority of them remain what they were to begin with. There is no civilization in the history of the planet in which a black man has stood a better chance to be successful. America is the best chance they've ever had, and the best chance they'll ever get. The results are evident in the facebook postings above.
The days you spend working for the money that goes to these savages is work for which you are uncompensated. Being forced to work without compensation is slavery.
Whenever one of these lefty bloodsuckers says the GOP wants to bring back slavery, remind them that the DNC beat them to it.Noteworthy Comment +13
In 1977, during the summer blackout-the parents of these morons were burning and looting the stores of the South Bronx and parts of Brooklyn. Stealing shoes, telelvisions, stereos etc. The store owners closed up and never came back. If these subhumans riot, most likely it will be their own neighborhoods they destroy first. Even animals do'nt filthy up their own nests. Do'nt know how far out they will get out into the suburbs or if they'll even try knowing what awaits them there. One on One they are like Obama-cowards, in a pack though, they are hyenas. The women are worse than the men.+6
Its not just a generation, its 4 generations and the fruit of 25 years of bad politicians.
We can afford to lose 1/3 of the population, forever+6
I see they manage to spell "EBT" right, if nothing else.Noteworthy Comment +13
10 percent of the population causes 90 percent of the problems. Need to find a large island and move them all there. send the activists, community organizers, communists, the aclu and all the other complainers and progressives there as well. let them build their utopia and leave the rest of us alone. no one should be surprised by the facebook replies above. This is what you get when you pay people to have children out of wedlock. the children are not there for love, they are there to increase the welfare payment and perhaps get a section 8 house.+7
Lot of Section 8s in that crowd.+5
BFH, I don't think there's a choice. If the left is allowed to continue on it's path there' going to be collapse, baby. "Live free or die." That's a simple statement of truth.+2
sileceal is right.
If Romney wins, riots in retaliation. If obama wins, riots because they believe it's their validation to get free stuff…and riot in celebration for riot's sake+9
While it's fairly common knowlege that liberal brains are worth more than that of conservatives(many of them are practically like brand new since they are so rarely used), studies still show a capacity for change. "What can be done?", you may ask. For starters, call President Obama at 202-456-1111 and tell him to quit sodomizing The United States Of America. Then go get a can of WD-40 and remove that silly bumper sticker from your car.(That will keep you from looking like idgits as you drive around) and go read some Milton Freidman books.+4
I've got to respectfully disagree with Zonga. If/when the riots begin the "producers" will bear the brunt of force—not the moochers/leeches. Who is ALREADY having the wrath insidiously foisted on them? The producers. It's obviously all about entitlements and what they think they are privvy to.
Moochers/leeches and socialists "don't get" that the producers are their ONLY lifeline to the moolah and "freebies." Moochers/leeches and socialists "don't get" that when the producers are shut down, eliminated or just plain drained dry that there IS NO MORE MONEY to suck off the dry, barren producer land.
Still, the producers will be the ones attacked because " they haz" and the moochers/leeches whine, cry and revolt "haz not". (What they "haz not" is the energy or incentive to work—thank you Libtards (sarc) And you can bet your A if the tables were turned they'd all be as outraged as folks like us who DO have the convictions and morals to depend on ourselves.)+6
If those freeloaders were in control they would destroy everything and then each other to get what the other guy has. They are parasites.+3
@sig94 – I don't see anything offensive about what you wrote. The reality of the situation is dire.+2
@Mr Gates – if at all possible it's probably worse than you think. What's happening on the street that never gets reported in the media is incredible. People are completely out of control, it is approaching biblical proportions.+3
"Just a thought, how is that they "qualify" for EBT and yet they are posting comments on an internet chat? Is that FREE too… "
uhh, yeah. heard a lot about the google hispeed heroin for a few years now and doncha just know – that (hispeed) internet access is everybody's right – and, of ourse 'they' should get a free computer to make it all happen…
give 'em a free phone to call 911 or look for a job…and sure enough they gonna git everything you got but they don't have to work for it+2
"Fifty years of the Great Society and this is what we have to show for it. Disgusting animals."
not to mention the %11,000,000,000,000 it cost the taxpayers+3
If you are white, and have even half a brain, you'd best clear out of the following cities after you vote on November 6th, 2012:
-Chicago (and most of Cook county)
-Los Angeles
-San Francisco
-New York City
-St. Louis
-Gary, Indiana (and the rest of shithole Lake county)
-Cincinatti and Cleveland OH (especially if Ohio decides the winner Romney)
-Other possibles include Denver, Milwaukee, Boston, Baltimore, and maybe Louisville.
You've been warned. People in the suburbs of these cities should get ready for spill-over.
People in the rural areas shouldn't have any problems whatsoever; woe to any thugs that venture out into the rural areas.+6
I know some folks in L.A. who are talking about putting a turret on top of a windowless van and circling the block with a bunch of armed neighbors. Kind of like Neighborhood Watch for the adventurous types.
If you leave you will lose all your stuff.+3
Commie playbook 101 – kill 20 mil and suddenly everyone starts doing as they are told.0
The outcome of the election will determine what comes next. If "O" loses, it will be a Civil / Race War…because the Obots will take to the streets in a fit of rage, burning, raping, and pillaging their way through America, like a horde of hungry locust.
On the other hand, if "O" wins and heads in the direction of totalitarian dictatorial omnipotence, then a revolution will be in play.
However it plays out, whatever it may be called, it will be a brutal fight.
This could lead to an extinction event for Black America, Liberal America, Hispanic America.
Human nature dictates…for when, a conflict as large as a "race war" ignites, there will be no quarter asked and none given. It will also consume the white Liberals along with the La Raza types and the MSM…because America has seen the path Obama wants to take us down, and they do not like it. When your enemy gives you the opportunity to eviscerate him, you take it…just that simple. A negotiated peace will not be forthcoming to placate the malcontents, because they have already sealed their fate.+1

Cheating and Lying:
Statistics about Cheating:
Don't believe what you hear...
My boyfriend and I have been through alot in the 3+ years we have been together. To keep it short he cheated on me a year and a half ago, and I, loving him, took him back. I,m not going to say it,s been the easiest road, but I believe it,s the best for me. My boyfriend and I were absolutly not getting along, that,s not an excuse, but we were not at the time. He tried to break it off without hurting me but I didn,t take him seriously, and he resigned to staying together. A while later he stopped answering my phone calls and I found out he was out behind my back, screwing around with a co-worker. I was heart-broken because I was so in love with him.
The whole affair between the two ended in less than a week and he asked to come back to me. I told him we would could be like friends but I just wasn,t ready. In a month,s time we were back together and agreed to work it out. Like I said it hasn,t been easy, but he has really changed. His whole demenor (as well as mine) is different. We laugh more often, we hold hands everywhere we go, we discovered commonalities and we built from the debris. We talk more often and I can honestly say that I feel more with him now than I ever did, even through early infatuation. We are really in love and I have every confidence that he will never cheat again. We know what it,s like not to be together, and there is nothing worth that.

Blind Date, Checkmate by Veronica Blade (Novella)
Goodreads Summary:
Should a woman who's unable to forget her first love give "happily ever after" one more try?
Shelby Winters' one great love went sour. If she can't feel that way about a guy again, why bother? When Shelby's best friend sets her up on a blind date with Logan, the guy who broke her heart, he pursues her relentlessly, forcing her to make a choice: give her heart what it's always desired and risk total devastation or shut Logan out and lose her only shot at happiness. To Shelby, it's a lose-lose situation. Or is it?
My Review:
Blind Date, Checkmate was a little predictable but still a nice light read that would make for
good lunch time or waiting room reading. The characters are likeable for the most part. Shelby
was insanely stubborn but I suppose she had good reason to be. Can she get over the past and fall in love again? Logan is a writer and a ladies man who has seen the err of his ways. But is he too late to reclaim his first and only love?
A Bite's Tale: A Furry Fable by Veronica Blade (Novella)
Goodreads Summary:
A Cinderella who spends her nights as a wolf. A prince with a taste for blood.
Seventeen year old Cydney struggles against her werewolf nature, trying to keep everyone around her safe. No way will she risk exposing the beast at the prince's ball, no matter how her two cousins try to persuade her. Even as she attempts to get on with her life, Cydney can't forget the boy she loved three summers ago — or what she did to him after losing control.
Turned into a vampire to save his life, the prince refuses to live up to his royal duties. He just wants to find the girl he loved and lost...the werewolf girl who bit him. But his father, the king, commands him to attend a ball where he must choose a wife. Can he find his Cinderella before he's forced to marry another? He doesn't even have her real name, much less a glass slipper.
My Review:
Let me just say that I definitely saved the best for last when reading these two novellas! I loved A Bite's Tale and as much as I liked Blind Date, Checkmate, it pales in comparison. Don't get me wrong, I was sucked into Blind Date as well, but I simply could not stop reading A Bite's Tale until I had finished. I'm not huge into gushing about books but let me just say that if you like Young Adult Paranormal Romance, then what are you waiting for? Go get it!
A Bite's Tale is a captivating story about Cinderella and a Prince, but it's more than that. It has a little bit of everything, from werewolves, vampires, witches, and warlocks to love, heartbreak, anguish, threats, and promises.
**I received both of these novella's for review but that in no way effected my review(s).
Welcome to At Random! I post book reviews and book related things but you may find random posts thrown in the mix as well. I mostly read young adult, urban fantasy, paranormal and/or contemporary romance, post-apocalyptic, dystopian, horror, and thrillers. I'd love to hear your thoughts so please feel free to comment on any posts!

English, probably London, about 1255 - 1260
Tempera colors, gold leaf, colored washes, and ink on parchment bound between pasteboard covered with red morocco
12 9/16 x 8 7/8 in.
Saint John the Divine's vision of the events leading to the Second Coming of Christ at the end of time, commonly known as the Apocalypse, inspired the creation of many illuminated manuscripts in England in the 1200s. Western Europeans particularly popularized the text at this time because of recent cataclysmic events, including the Tartars' invasion of Russia in the 1230s and the fall of Jerusalem to the Moslems in 1244. These events raised fears that the end of time was at hand. Every page of the Dyson Perrins Apocalypse, named after a previous owner of the manuscript, contains a brief passage from the Apocalypse written in black ink, a portion of a popular commentary written by a monk named Berengaudus in red ink, and a half-page miniature. The miniatures, executed in a sophisticated tinted drawing technique, faithfully follow Saint John's exceptionally vivid descriptions of his visions and do not particularly reflect Berengaudus's commentary. The illuminator incorporated Saint John experiencing his vision into the majority of scenes, lending authority and a sense of immediacy to the images. As a result, the reader vicariously witnesses the horrific and awesome events unfolding in the Apocalypse along with the saint.

Phil Yeh
(Artist -
Steve the Dog and the Winged Tiger
*Appearing Courtesy of Cartoonists Across America
Phil Yeh was born on October 7, 1954 in Chicago. He started drawing and writing his own comic books in elementary school and formed his own publishing company in 1970, after attending the first San Diego Comic-Con.
In 1973, Yeh and partner Mark Eliot started their own alternative newspaper called Uncle Jam which featured a first issue cover by Roberta Gregory (Naughty Bits), a fellow student at Cal State University Long Beach. The paper featured interviews, full color covers, and articles on many noted comic book and science fiction masters including; Harvey Kurtzman, Jean Moebius Giraud, Alfredo Alcala, Wendy Pini, Philip K. Dick, Linda Barry, Sergio Aragones, Kelly Freas, and Rick Griffin. Yeh was the first journalist to interview Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel in 1975 about the injustices both he and artist Joe Shuster suffered for many decades. That article led to national media coverage and a settlement at that time with Yeh working on the West Coast and Jerry Robinson and Neal Adams on the East Coast.
In 1977, Yeh wrote, illustrated, and published one of the first modern American graphic novels (Even Cazco Gets the Blues) with introductions by Golden Age artist Don Rico and Sergio Aragones. He was one of the first publishers of graphic novels to push for acceptance of this art form in general bookstores and libraries.
In 1985, Yeh formed Cartoonists across America & the World to promote literacy, the arts, and creativity using humor and comics. To date the band of artists have painted more than 1800 murals in 49 U.S. states and more than a dozen countries.
In 1989, Yeh was given the Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award by the San Diego Comic-Con and in 2009 received an Ink Pot Award at the San Diego Con. In 1990, the Hungarian Government issued a postage stamp with Yehs Read. Avoid Extinction dinosaurs in honor of the United Nations Year of Literacy. In 1991, Yehs oil paintings were featured in Theo the Dinosaur, which debuted at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. with introductions by Barbara Bush and Nigel Seale, chairperson of Earth Day International. In 1993, Yehs wordless graphic novel The Winged Tiger with illustrated introductions by Wendy Pini and Jean Giraud was published as a weapon in the global fight against illiteracy. It was named one of the top 25 graphic novels in print. In 2007, NBM issued a full color hardcover graphic novel of Dinosaurs Across America. The 2008 edition was picked as one of the top 25 graphic novels by School Library Journal and was a Childrens Choice Award winner by the Childrens Book Council and the International Reading Association. Yehs comic book work is colored by Lieve Jerger, who is also a Belgian lace artist working in copper wire. Yehs latest book is Steve the Dog and the Winged Tiger with co-creator Geoff Bevington.
Yeh continues to tour the world and speaks to thousands of people every year. For more information about Yehs more than 90 published books and his tour go to www.wingedtiger.com

The Racist Redskins
Despite these pitiful performances, the team still drew crowds large enough that Marshall (this should sound familiar) grew dissatisfied with old Griffith Stadium, which had stood since 1911 where Howard University Hospital is today, and began clamoring for a new park. Since the District of Columbia was administered by Congress in those pre–home rule days, this meant negotiating with the federal government. In due course, an arrangement was made for the construction of a 54,000-seat stadium at East Capitol and 22nd streets, on land owned by the Department of the Interior. Marshall signed a thirty-year lease.
Here, finally, was his error. The Kennedy administration hit town, and with it, a young and aggressive and very liberal-minded secretary of the interior, Stewart Udall of Arizona. Udall was a classic New Frontiersman. He was a gunner in World War II, a college basketball player at the University of Arizona, a self-described "Jack-Mormon" who did not follow his religion's bans on alcohol and caffeine, and he was committed to integration. (He was also the brother of Morris "Mo" Udall, who served in Congress for many years and ran for the presidential nomination in 1976.)
Udall wasted no time in seeing his opportunity to force Marshall's hand. Smith quotes from a memo the secretary sent to the President on February 28, 1961, just five weeks into the new administration's tenure:
George Marshall of the Washington Redskins is the only segregationist hold-out in professional football. He refuses to hire Negro players even thought [sic] Dallas and Houston, Texas have already broken the color bar. The Interior Department owns the ground on which the new Washington Stadium is constructed, and we are investigating to ascertain whether a no-discrimination provision could be inserted in Marshall's lease.
When such clauses were duly introduced, Marshall responded with a combination of bravado and apoplexy. He wanted a sit-down with Kennedy: "I used to be able to handle his old man," he said, referring cryptically back to his Boston days. He asked rhetorically: "All the other teams we play have Negroes; does it matter which team has the Negroes?" During the summer of the Freedom Rides, the Redskins drama intensified. The American Nazi Party marched outside the new stadium, carrying placards saying "Keep Redskins White!" The NAACP and CORE picketed the stadium and Marshall's house. Marshall insisted that the government had no right to tell him how to run his business. One wonders what Senator Rand Paul, among others today, might have said. By now, in any case, 70 percent of professional players are African-American.
In the end, Showdown, which is thoroughly researched, briskly written, and does a fine job of filling in this bleak episode in our cultural history, loses a bit of the momentum it has gathered because there is no great showdown, no Hollywood moment. Marshall saw that his hands were tied. Pete Rozelle, the NFL's new, young, and PR-conscious commissioner, brokered a deal between Udall and Marshall by which the team was given until 1962 to start fielding black players. In the 1962 draft, the Redskins (who had won a single game in 1961 and lost twelve) chose the African-American Heisman Trophy winner Ernie Davis, from Syracuse. Marshall promptly traded him to Cleveland—but for Bobby Mitchell, another black athlete, so Mitchell became the first black Redskin (quickly joined by others). Davis contracted leukemia and died within months.
With Mitchell and the others, the Redskins started winning some games. They didn't get really good again until the 1970s, under coach George Allen—the father of the former (and perhaps future; he's running again) Virginia senator of the same name, the one who referred in 2006 to his Democratic opponent's videographer as a "macaca." Allen Sr. was close to President Nixon and had coached at Nixon's alma mater, Whittier College. He even let Nixon call a play in a 1971 playoff game. It lost thirteen yards.
The team won three Super Bowls in the 1980s and 1990s, which made it one of the strongest franchises of that era. Under current owner Daniel Snyder—who bought the team in 1999 from the son of the previous owner, the flamboyant media tycoon and racehorse owner Jack Kent Cooke—success has been limited, to put it politely. Fortunes may be changing—the team is 3–1 so far this year as I write. But some things will not change. The team and its fans still often point to a 2004 survey by the Annenberg Center, which found that by a margin of nine to one, American Indians took no offense at the name Redskins.2 They have bigger problems to worry about. I admit to a mild curiosity about whether they'd feel differently if they knew the name was dreamed up by the sport's most overtly racist figure, who even in his will (he died in 1969) stipulated that the Redskins Foundation that was to be created with most of his estate not direct a single dollar toward "any purpose which supports or employs the principle of racial integration in any form."

@Latte31 - I have to say that I don't blame these companies because they have to price their products and services competitively otherwise people won't use their products or services.
Consumers want value and this is one way that companies can do this without compromising the initial product or service. At least we still have a market economy and not a command economy in which the government decides how much of a product a company will produce and what price they will charge.
They do this in China and while companies are still profitable the Chinese government does take a huge amount of the profits.

I am reading posts, messages, and tweets from people trying to convey TNA Wrestling is going back to "the old TNA". I can't totally disagree with it, but I certainly can't fully agree on the statement. TNA Wrestling has an 11 year history. Sure, the company hasn't been around as long as Target or WWE, but 11 years accumulates to be a significant amount of time. It's the company came to fruition, it has been on a rollercoaster ride. TNA Wrestling has had their ups and downs, but they have rich history. They have moments in the company's history that stand out. These moments made people focus their attention on the company from Randy Savage appearing in the company to Hulk Hogan joining. When Hulk, and Eric Bischoff, joined the company in 2010 the company turned upside down. They changed the 6 sided ring to the traditional 4 sided ring. They moved Impact from Thursdays to Mondays. They went live every week for around six months in 2012. They even took Impact Wrestling on the road. 4 years and many changes. In fact, the company seen more changes than Barack Obama's first four years in office. 4 years later and what's new?
Hulk Hogan's contract has ended with TNA Wrestling. From what I can gather, it doesn't look like he will be back with the company. Eric Bischoff's contract ends in the beginning of 2014, from what I read, and he is now "working from home". Let me clearly ask… how can an Executive Producer of a show work from their house? The company is slowly fading away from Eric's producing power. Where does that leave TNA, though? 4 years ago they were producing occasional live shows. 4 years they were occasionally having Impact travel. 4 years ago they were in Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. Right now, 4 years later, and TNA is at the exact same spot. It's easy saying TNA is turning back to being their old self, but the company is a lot different than that. The company is better off now than they were in 4 years.
One of the easiest examples on how TNA Wrestling is different now from 4 years ago is their production value. If you don't believe me, watch a 2009 (or earlier) show compared to a 2013 show. The camera angles are better. The lighting is superb. The way it come across television is crisp and sharp. Honestly, it makes them look edgier and more professional. Something like this can't be discounted. Something like this can't be taken lightly. Production is a huge part of a wrestling show. If you don't have the production, no one will watch. Imagine if you have a dark arena with little lights and camera angles showing little to no crowd interaction? Would that be entertaining? Would that keep you tuned in? I know wrestling in the 80s and earlier had that style, but do you see why it has changed? A show that looks unappealing makes it unappealing!
Star Power:
This is one area that we have seen a huge strength in from 4 years ago. Let me first say that superstars come and go all the time. That is the nature of the business. People leave because of money reasons or because they don't like where they work or they simply want to take another career path. 4 years ago had the rise of Desmond Wolfe and Matt Morgan. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles were at the top of the card. The X-Division had a meaning and a huge influence on TNA programming. The Knockouts division was red hot. All are positives. 4 years ago and I see more star power on the roster now than ever. The company still has their veteran main event stars like Kurt Angle and Sting. The company also has more main event talent than ever from Austin Aries, James Storm, Bobby Roode, Jeff Hardy, Chris Sabin and we can't forget about AJ Styles and Samoa Joe as all these men held the TNA World Title before. The company continues to build Chris Sabin while they are really making Magnus the star of the future. The Knockouts division is limited but still shine in their matches. We can see the positives 4 years ago and today, however, these different eras see a change of what the roster is about.
International Success:
The worst argument and insult a fan or a wrestling analyzer gives about TNA Wrestling is that the company didn't grow. Simply put, they are wrong. People's perception of a certain story or company is only what they are told. For example, a news station can report on a car crash and say that one driver lost control of their car and hit another car. However, another news station digs deeper into the story and states the driver was drunk and could barely see the road so he lost control and crashed. Do you see the difference? People who listen to the first news station only hear part of the story. They only know what they have been told. It's just like the details with TNA Wrestling. You can read reports online how their arenas are only 40% or less full and you can state that the company is suffering. However, look at their numbers overseas and you will find out that TNA Wrestling hit a record number in Germany beating WWE. Facts about the company are all over the internet. It is your job to read beyond what you are given. TNA has amazing success internationally. It's not just about the United States. TNA Wrestling is indeed growing.
Building A Home:
This topic just came to fruition a couple weeks ago when TNA announced that they will be heading back to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida for their weekly television shows (which is great as I wrote in a previous article). In the same announcement, Dixie Carter was stated to say:
In making Orlando's Universal Studios our programming hub, we have the powerful combination of state-of-the art production facilities and incredible soundstages that will make it easier for us to launch this new production-intensive initiative. We will also be working with Universal to develop new and creative ways for park guests and fans from around the world to experience a unique TNA attraction.
Nothing states the whole situation better than the two words… programming hub! The company is focusing back on one area and they are expanding it to a whole new level… a level they never seen 4 years ago. The company will also be having their developmental system in the area. The developmental system is key for any major wrestling promotion, but that's a different subject for another article! Bottom line, TNA sees the opportunity at Universal Studios and is going all out to make it a one of a kind thing that will only benefit the company.
Trial And Error Experience
I started to character TNA Wrestling as an experiment about a month or so ago. In an experiment, you want to test different objectives and theories in order to see if they will work. You want to see if they are successful. TNA Wrestling tested time and time again. They tested bringing big names like Kurt Angle and Sting into the company. They tested giving power to Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff. They tested the waters of going live every week and then moving to Mondays to compete directly with WWE Raw. They then tested the objective of going on the road to increase revenue and viewership. Some of these theories worked. Some didn't. It's all about testing. It's all about experimenting. The company realized that Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff didn't perform as great as they thought they would… or at least I thought they would. Now the company understands what happens when they go directly against WWE's biggest show of the week. Do you think they are going to do that anytime soon? As Dixie Carter stated in a video back in 2009, "No great success comes without risk." The company needed to move to Mondays. The company needed to see what Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff would do. They needed to move Impact Wrestling on the road. All of those decisions were risks. They were huge risks. Success or not, they had to be done. The company now understands what where they fall. The company now understands what works and what doesn't and they are less likely to make those mistakes again. Bringing in the masterminds Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan didn't work. Sure, TNA can be blamed for how they handled Eric and Hulk, but it taught them for the future. It taught them who and how they can grow the business.
TNA Wrestling is seeing the end of the Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff regime. The regime lasted 4 years and the company changed dramatically. As the company fades away from the two, are they going back to where they were before Eric and Hulk but with so much more. They have the experience. They have the knowledge. In this sense, TNA is better off 4 years later. If one thing can be said about the 4 year regime of Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff then that can be described as simply as a learning experience!
Alex's Assumptions:
I am not sure who likes my Facebook page or who follows me on Twitter, but if you do then you know that I started a campaign a couple months ago. This campaign is titled, "I want to interview you, Dixie Carter!" This campaign has been a success as I heard from Dixie Carter herself a month ago where she told me that she will answer several of my questions. She didn't answer. I restarted the campaign and she just responded to me last week saying she will answer my questions again. She has yet to do so. I know I am getting her attention, but I feel like more need to back it up. Simply put, we all want to hear from Dixie Carter because we have questions about TNA Wrestling and she has the answers. It's not about the sad false rumors that are going around, but it's more about hearing her side and getting information. This can really happen. We just have to step it up. We need to get her attention. Help the site and let's make history! Sign the petition above or go to this link for her to be interviewed by TNANews.com!

"Beers were great. I tried the Lager and Dunkel, both very good. Reuben sandwich was excellant. Portion size more than ample for me. Dressing comes on side so the sandwich is not soggy when delivered. Tomato Basil soup was great. French Fries were actually fried and hot when served. Beer selection is only good because of only 4 selection. Five if one includes something with the word "light" in the name. "

Cherry Hill Gourmet Market opened its doors to the public for the first time last Tuesday, and you can barely tell floodwaters ever entered its storefront in the historic Lundy's building (1901 Emmons Avenue).
"We were working night and day, day and night, 24-seven, to get back on our feet," said owner David Isaev at a grand opening party last week, attended by Assemblymembers Steven Cymbrowitz and Helene Weinstein, Councilman Michael Nelson, and Community Board 15 Chairperson Theresa Scavo.
During the worst of Superstorm Sandy, several feet of water rushed over the Bay's walls and barreled into the building – ruining the building's interior, alongside tens of thousands of dollars worth of items and equipment. Cherry Hill provided the video below to Sheepshead Bites, showing the damage after the water receded.

Leadership After Failure
Conference workshops, camp publications, and staff training manuals are replete with inspirational advice on exactly how to get it right. This is how to lead a group. This is how to discipline children. This is how to run stellar activity periods. This is how to supervise. This is how to make a difference. And well beyond the narrow confines of the camp world lie inspirational biographies, films and legends of people who are famous–not only for getting it right, but … Continue reading
April Showers …
It was like watching a line-change in a hockey game. My wife pulled into the driveway, slammed the car into park and jumped out. My three school-aged children and their science fair projects jumped in. I stood on the sidelines, watching all the commotion and wondering about the huge brown blob on the driver's side door. I asked my wife about it. She just laughed. Apparently, it was -6 degrees when she left. Getting into the car, she spilled her … Continue reading
Healthy Living
It is likely that many of the estimated 10 million campers and the more than 1 million staff members who oversee youngsters in summer camp will experience an illness or injury in a given season. Although most kids suffer only minor headaches or embarrassing falls during a baseball game, these ailments and injuries are usually "dusted off," and do not necessitate medical attention. However, the majority of health problems at camp are sent to the camp medical center–the hub of … Continue reading

Arkansas Startups: From Dirt Roads to Interstates
by Mark Carter
Posted 12/3/2012 12:00 am
From an entrepreneurial dirt road to an interstate — that's how Movista co-founders April Seggebruch and Stan Zylowski describe the emerging startup culture in northwest Arkansas.
The two UA Walton College MBA grads founded Movista in 2010 as Merchant View and have grown their retail tracking firm to the cusp of startup stardom. Earlier this year, Movista signed its first national client, Tempur-Pedic, the mattress makers.
Seggebruch said the environment for growing a business in Arkansas, specifically northwest Arkansas, is booming. She cited the creation of Gravity Ventures' Arkansas Fund and the success of the recent ARK Challenge business incubator that brought startups from the state, country and beyond to Fayetteville.
Things have changed a lot, even since Seggebruch and Zylowski hatched their idea for what would become Movista in a Walton College classroom almost three years ago.
"We love to joke that we grew up on the entrepreneurial dirt road and northwest Arkansas folks are now born on the interstate," Seggebruch said. "The ARK, Gravity and, for the most part, Innovate Arkansas have grown up along with us. We are terribly proud of all the work these folks are doing and try very hard to give back when we can."

Basic Bath Turkish Towel {c/o}
I recently teamed up with Turkish T and have been LOVING these adorable towels. Versatility is one of my favorite qualities in any product - being able to wear something multiple ways is a serious selling point for yours truly. These are so perfect for summer, affordable, eco-friendly and 100% turkish cotton (I definitely need 100% cotton in this blistering heat).
I loved how easily I was able to lighten up my breakfast table by using this basic bath towel as a table runner.
Check back tomorrow for more ways to wear a turkish towel!

Here are the facts: No other item in your home absorbs more wear and tear on a daily basis than your carpet, and no other item can impact your home's appearance like your carpet can. ServiceMaster recommends that homeowners follow these steps to keep up the appearance of their carpet and upholstery:
Have the carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year: A professional cleaner has the equipment and expertise to fully remove dirt and detergent, and will remove most of the moisture in your carpet, something that most hire units don't do.
Vacuum carpets at least once a week: Up to 80% of dirt in carpets is loose dirt that can be removed with regular vacuuming.
Use doormats: Keep dirt, and especially sand, out of the house and off of the rugs.
Protect the surface: Have your carpet fibres protected by a soil protector.
Rotate furniture: Premature wear and spoiling take place when traffic paths are unchanged.
Blot up spills: Quickly clean up spills with a dry, clean cloth or a clean towel. Protect the area until dry.
Avoid direct sunlight: Modern furniture fabrics are usually resilient to sunlight. However, under extreme exposure, even these show signs of fading.
Plump up cushions often: Fillings lose their ability to bounce back if not plumped up to reshape them. Plumping cushions will help them last longer.
Rotate cushions often: Cushions not rotated may experience premature and unnecessary wear. To ensure a longer life for your cushions, rotate them regularly.
Vacuum: Upholstered furniture should be vacuumed on a regular basis to remove dust and loose dirt.
Blot up spills: Spills left unattended may set as stains. Blot spills, never rub!
At ServiceMaster, we deal with thousands of spots and spills every year. A little care taken when these events occur may immediately solve the problem. Use the tips below to help get rid of common household stains found on carpets. However, if the stain is more serious, call ServiceMaster to help.
Grease and Oil Marks: Gently rub in talcum powder or cornflour. Let it set and then brush or sponge powder away.
Mustard Stains: Soak stained area with diluted ammonia. Then dry with a hair dryer.
Pet Urine: Dampen area with equal parts white vinegar and water. Then blot dry.
Red Wine: Use soda water to flush the wine from the carpet fibres.
Blood Stains: Flush with cold water. Avoid hot water as heat will set the blood stain.
Soft Drinks: ServiceMaster spot remover is ideal for this.
Gum: Freeze the gum with ice in a plastic bag and use a blunt knife to remove.
Latex Paint: Soak with washing-up liquid and water. Agitate the area, blot, rinse and blot again. If necessary treat with ServiceMaster spot remover.
Ball Point Ink: Remove with surgical spirit.
Remember that the best time to clean up most spots and spills is right after they occur. Using the proper agent, follow these techniques:

Comments about Command® Large Hook, White:
I love having artwork on the walls of my apartment. Some of the pieces are 3-4 lbs each. I use the hooks for so many items. A 3.5 lbs mixed metal cross has stayed safely secured to a plaster wall for 2 months.

Comments about Command® Large Hook, White:
I have used several of these hooks around my kitchen to hold my frying wok and some utensils. I was pleasantly surprised that this hook has never failed with my pans as some of them are mid weight and bulky. It has really helped me make the most of a small kitchen and keeps my most used items right at hand.

hooking cruise
By hootie
from Houston, Texas
Comments about Command® Large Hook, White:
I just completed a 42 day cruise half way around the world and I took the large command hooks with me. Since you are limited to space in a stateroom on a ship the large command hooks came in so handy. I used them to hang my gown & robe on when not needed. I also used them in the bathroom to hang my washcloth and back brush on when not in use. And when the cruise was over I could take them down without any problems and they tucked away so easily in my luggage. I would highly recommend using them on a cruise ship or in a summer cabin or beach house.

Very disappointing
By Bee1
from Undisclosed
Comments about Command® Large Hook, White:
I bought a number of command hooks- the small the medium, the large and the jumbo. I was really excited. I was finally going to organize my apartment. I would say that 90% of the hooks I put up fell right down. I was within the weight amount and yet, they couldn't hold anything. I must have spent hours putting up the hooks (yes I followed all directions). Some hooks came down within a few hours, some within a few days, and some after a few months. But 90% were not good. I was so disappointed. It was a waste of money and time. I had one up in the bathroom to hold a tiny little potty seat to put over the toilet. It fell down. I had one in the hall to hold coats and it fell down. And anything I used for the heavier ones didn't work at all. Very disappointing.

Do you ever get a meeting invite and dread going or wonder why am I here when you get there? I've made it a practice to not accept meetings that don't have an agenda or clear objective.
One rule of thumb I use is the G.A.S factor (Give a Shit factor) — Why do you need me there?, Am I a collaborator?, Subject matter expert?, Decision maker? or Do I need to be informed? If it ticks any of these boxes then I feel much better accepting a meeting and will most likely not be a waste of my time.

Three Points: Wayne Rooney sparks Man United's dominance vs. Newcastle
MANCHESTER -- A trio of observations on Manchester United's 3-1 win against Newcastle in the Premier League on Boxing Day.
1. United roll back the years
Thrilling forward play and deadly counterattacks are what a younger generation of Manchester United fans were brought up on. If this season's Premier League title looks beyond Louis Van Gaal's team, Old Trafford is being presented with a vision of an imminent future in which their team might soon compete with Chelsea and Manchester City.

Newborn bee
C'mon In, the Water's Fine!
Ever seen bees at a watering hole?
Bees not only bring back nectar, pollen and propolis to the hive, but also water.
"Water dilutes the concentrated food, maintains humidity in the brood nest, and it's used to air-condition the hive, like an evaporative cooler," said Cooperative Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen, who's entering his 33rd year as a member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty.
Beekeepers use a variety of watering devices to make sure their colonies have a steady supply of water. For example, some beekeepers slant a wooden board under the slow drip of an outdoor faucet. Others offer a shallow pan of water or a birdbath.
What's important is this: Bees prefer to stand where it's dry when they're taking a drink.
At the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis, a regularly watered plant provides a favorite source of water. The distinct odor of the water makes it easier for bees to find or return to the source.
The Laidlaw facility's "watering hole" is an example of a honey bee watering device that beekeepers can use "to prevent bees from becoming a nuisance, or a perceived nuisance, to neighbors," Mussen said. "If beekeepers don't provide a water source, the bees may head over to a neighbor's dog bowl, sprinklers, birdbath or hanging damp laundry."
So, what do you do about those pesky mosquitoes that lay their eggs in standing water? Buy floating mosquito tablets that break up in the water. "That strain of bacteriuum will not harm the honey bees," Mussen said.
Gathering water
Branching Out
Dry Feet
Better than Cotton Candy
The skies brightened last weekend and the rain-weary honey bees returned to the nectarine blossoms in our yard
They were in the pink again!
Capturing images of the bees gathering nectar and pollen is more fun than eating cotton candy at a county fair.
Springlike day.
Radiant pink flowers.
Industrious honey bees.
What more could anyone ask for a garden party?

Pistol Packin' Mamas
Pistol packin' mamas have nothing on honey bees.
Have you ever seen the pollen load that a honey bee carries?
What's pollen? It's the fine, powder-like material produced by the anthers of flowering plants, or the grains that contain the male reproductive cells of a seed plant.
The worker bees carry pollen in special pollen baskets on their legs. The baskets are concave surfaces fringed with bristles or curved hairs to hold the pollen in place.
Only the worker bees have pollen baskets. The queen bee and the drones (males) have none.
"Honey bees derive their protein, vitamins, minerals and some carbohydrates from pollens," UC Davis Extension Apiculturist Eric Mussen writes in Bee Briefs. "Since no single pollen source provides all their nutritional needs, honey bees must have a number of pollens available to them to remain healthy and to produce the royal jelly required to feed the queen and rear brood."
Worker bees feed the brood "beebread," a mixture of nectar and pollen.
Yesterday the honey bees on the grounds of the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis buzzed around the almond blossoms, gathering nectar and pollen.
It's amazing--truly amazing-how much pollen honey bees can pack in those pollen baskets.

Turning Around
Bee-ing Grateful
There are so many caring, kindhearted and generous people out there concerned about the plight of the honey bee.
From little girls who share their monthly allowance and birthday gifts, to all the schools, organizations and businesses who donate to the honey bee research fund at the Department of Entomology at the University of California, Davis, the cry to "Save the Honey Bees" is resounding throughout the world.
In particular, the response to the Häagen-Dazs' educational Web site, www.helpthehoneybees.com has been overwhelming.
Häagen-Dazs stepped forward in February of 2008 to help save the honey bees. They launched a national campaign, established a scientific advisory group, created the Web site and a new Vanilla Honey Bee flavor, and donated a total of $250,000 toward honey bee research at UC Davis and Pennsylvania State. They're also working to help fund a honey bee haven at UC Davis.
Approximately 50 percent of the Häagen-Dazs flavors are directly attributed to honey bee pollination. In fact, one-third of all we eat (fruits, vegetables and nuts) is pollinated by bees.
The declining bee population worries us all.
Enter California poet Michele Krueger. While enjoying a pint of Häagen-Dazs ice cream and accessing the Häagen-Dazs Web site, she was inspired to write a poem about honey bees. She donated the poem to the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
In her email, Krueger wrote: "I am a poet from Northern California (Lake County) and concerned about the bee crisis, too."
We thank her for her concern and her donation. Here is her poem:
Be the best you can be,
For me.
Please pollinate
my berries,
sip nectar from
my flowers,
so you will have
the strength to fly
back and forth
for hours.
You have work to do,
Worker Bee,
for fruit tree
and for me.
Servant of Queen,
Feeder of Drone,
Soldier of Hive,
Miner of Gold,
I award you
Employee of the Season.
Honey is my reason. (Copyright, Michelle Krueger, Lake County, Calif.)
(Copyright, Michelle Krueger, Lake County, Calif.)
Which reminds us: last spring we watched scores of honey bees pollinate the nectarine blossoms in our back yard. Their work ethic dominates the insect world, and indeed, the entire world. They are definitely "employees of the season."

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.
