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.

Yep, we'll start it off with some Bruce Juice...he's so the MAN! Bruce Springsteen paid tribute to Garden State native and best mobster character ever, James Gandolfini who died Wednesday from a sudden heart attack. Bruce performed the entire "Born to Run" album at Thursday night's concert in Coventry and dedicated the set to his "great friend." As you know Steven Van Zandt from the E Street Band was one of the co-stars of "The Sopranos" and said "I have lost a brother and a best friend :("
Stones have been rockin Philly and this just in - The Rolling Stones have just released their entire canon of classics on iTunes as part of their ongoing 50th anniversary celebration.
Finally, Beiber has been getting a lot of bad press lately and while he has a gazillion twitter followers, celebrity fans may be dwindling...most recently KidRock through Justin under by bus with these comments - Rock said "Tellme if this is wrong, Justin Bieber is 100 percent like watching Vanilla Ice all over again...it's kind of sad to see him go down this trajectory and it's gonna be a very long ride." I've always kinda liked KidRock!

Waterbury man charged with having picture of naked girl

WATERBURY -- A 36-year-old city man already facing child sexual abuse charges was hit with new charges Friday after police say they found naked pictures on his cellphone of one of the girls he is accused of assaulting.
Jesus Gonzalez, whose last known address was 169 Chestnut Ave., second floor, was charged Friday with employing and promoting a minor in an obscene performance and second-degree possession of child pornography.

Limited victory for transgender model
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images
Jenna Talackova (R), a would be Miss Universe contestant, shows her Canadian passport, as a proof that she is a female, during a news conference with her attorney Gloria Allred on April 3, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.
Two weeks ago a transgender model, Jenna Talackova, 23, was kicked out of the Miss Universe Canada pageant because the rules of the contest run by Donald Trump's New York City-based organization say entrants must be "naturally born" females. Talackova was born a male but underwent a sex change four years ago.
The competition organizers have since reinstated Ms. Talackova to allow her to compete in the 2012 Miss Universe Canada pageant after all, provided that she meet the legal requirements for being a woman in Canada. It is still not clear whether Ms. Talackova will be able to compete because these requirements vary slightly by province in Canada and can include obtaining medical certificates and legal affidavits from doctors.
The model became a finalist last month in the 61st Miss Universe Canada pageant in May but was disqualified from the competition when it was learned she was born a male. Soon after that Ms Talackova tweeted "disqualified for being born" and a flurry of press attention ensued. Her lawyer Gloria Allred called a press conference on Tuesday and condemned publically the discriminatory rules that disqualified her client.
Are these rules governing beauty pageants fair? Ms. Talackova's passport clearly states that she is a woman. Should the fact she was born a male disqualify her from this competition? Is this a victory for the transgender community?
Mr. Gunner Scott, Executive Director of Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition; creator of the "I Am: Trans People Speak" campaign.

FRISCO — A grounded Shell oil-drilling rig appears to be upright and stable along the coastline of an Alaska island, with no apparent signs of environmental contamination yet, according to the latest update from the response team.
No details have been announced about how Shell plans to recover the grounded rig, the latest in a string of incidents and problems involving the company's Arctic drilling equipment.
The Kulluk was part of the Shell's test drilling program last summer. According to the company, the vessel is loaded with about 139,000 gallons of diesel fuel and…

DOE Announces 'Save Energy Now' Award Recipients
The U.S. Department of Energy's Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) recognized 151 U.S. manufacturers for their significant achievements in industrial energy efficiency with the third annual Save Energy Now Awards. Award recipients were companies that had actively pursued energy-savings opportunities identified during a 2009 Save Energy Now energy assessment, which has led to more than $32 million in cost savings and 4 trillion British thermal units (Btu) in total energy savings over the past year.
ITP recognized 95 plants with the Energy Saver award and 56 plants with the Energy Champion award. Energy Savers are plants that had more than 75,000 million Btu total energy savings or more than 7.5% total energy savings and Energy Champions are plants that had more than 250,000 million Btu total energy savings or more than 15% total energy savings.
Save Energy Now is a national initiative that aims to reduce industrial energy intensity by 25% in 10 years. Through this initiative, ITP conducts no-cost energy assessments at U.S. manufacturing facilities to identify ways to reduce energy use.

Editor's note: as it turns out, Google did indeed trick me into thinking these were brand new. According to my sources (you know, comments on Facebook), this has been out a while and isn't really used. So just enjoy this for what it is: me being way behind the curve. horray!
I just had a Google Alert pop into my inbox with the header Two Piece Shaft. So, like any good reporter looking for the scoop, I followed the link out to see that indeed, EighthInch is now (editor's note, here: this may have existed for a long time. Google isn't always right with what is "new") offering a two piece shaft to help you carry around your mallet without it sticking out of your bag like a war axe.
The natural concerns are, I think, whether it'd stay screwed together and how well that point would take a hit (or, more appropriately, how well the spots just before and just after the screw would take a hit). All the same, it's an interesting concept and one that I know I've seen around here and there. Point in fact, MalletHeadz has been offering this very solution for quite some time. No, really. The have.
A write up of the description is below, full of the traditional bullet points we've come to expect from bike polo equipment manufacturers:
Does anyone have any experience with this shaft yet? I'm curious as to how it holds up/the weight brought on by that attachment system.
The price is about 25 dollars before shipping, so it's rather expensive for a shaft–but then again, if the thing can be twisted apart and easily stowed, maybe that price is worth it for a travelling polo player?
Probably not for Robocop, though, as his mallets are already 1/2 the length of most mallets around.

We are staying 6 nights.
The boys are 10 and 7 and have never been to WDW.
The twin girls are 9 and have been to Disney.
The restaurants we selected were based more on the reviews we read rather than if they were buffets. Most of the group are not huge eaters and most of the adults do not usually eat desserts.
We selected Mama Melrose because we thought the boys especially would enjoy Fantasmic and MM had good reviews.
'Ohana was selected because of the great reviews.
Hoop Dee Doo we thought would be fun for everyone.....none have been to Hoop Dee Doo.
We plan to grab granola bars for breakfast so we indulged in only one breakfast service at Tusker House.......would that be fun for the kids?
As it turns out AK has EMH that day. Should we do something different for breakfast?
Akershus we picked because the menu looked interesting and the girls would enjoy the princesses.
From what you are saying collectively it seems like we would eat for less $ and probably healthier w/o DDP.....less desserts; water at meals; not so many snacks, etc.........my $200 savings will erode quickly!
Any thoughts or suggestions would really help.

I would say there are still some questions to be asked and answered:
Does everyone want to do a sit-down every night or would they be happy with a few special ones (Hoop De Doo, Akershus, MM Fantasmic)?
Is there anyone who will have sticker shock when you go to pay for some of those special meals and wonder why you didn't get the DDP?
Is the sit-down a way to bring everyone back together or are you planning on staying together the whole time? If you'll want some time apart, fewer TS ADRs would give you that flexibility.
If you do fewer sit-downs, do you have the time and stamina to look through the QS menus to plan out where you'll want to eat so you're not eating burgers, chicken and pizza everyday? Believe me, there is much more out there. Last time we went for 5 days and I only had one burger and one pizza meal, and all we did that trip was QS. But someone has to do some research to know where to go.

Don't want to eat burgers and pizza so we'll research the CS choices. As for sticker shock it looks like we can still go to the planned TS restaurants but by cutting out some snacks (which we all would not eat) and eliminating some CS desserts (again, which we would usually not order) the $$ difference evens out and we end up eating what we prefer.
How do we handle the 10 year old? He turns 10 two weeks before we leave. Does he always have to order adult meals?

The DDP can be a savings IF you have kids that are still "kids" (ages 3-9) and if you are doing character meals/buffets. The value for kids diminishes if you plan on primarily restaurants that have menus vs. character meals/buffets.
My family will be using the DDP, since 3 of our 6 are still classified as kids, and we have ADRs for 4 character meals. We have been fortunate enough to have been able to go to WDW frequently, so dining for our family is seen as part of the experience, and don't feel it is taking valuable touring time.

I just posted this in another thread, but I think it belongs here!
We just recently returned from a six night stay at WDW. We were there because our daughter had a gymnastics competition. We were going to buy the discounted hotel and tickets through Disney Sports, and then my travel agent advised me of the Stay Play and Dine offer. When I crunched the numbers, if I added the discounted price of the hotel Disney Sports was offering, and the discounted ticket prices and compared that to the SPD offer, the difference was around 21-22 dollars per person per day. So I took it that was the amount the QS-DP was costing us, for our particular situation. Because there was no price difference between children and adults, we listed our 7 year old as 10 so she could have better eating options. Only on a few occasions did we order off of the kids menu for her. Here are the numbers:
If we had paid for DDP with our daughter as a child 3-9 the cost would have been ~763.00
If we had paid for the DDP with our daughter as 10 or over the cost of the DDP would have been ~902.00
Amount of money the food we got with the DP would have cost us if we paid OOP, ~825.00
Amount of money from the package that paid for the dining part: ~528.00 (keep in mind this is in addition to discounted room and ticket prices.
And we ended up with a bunch of desserts and snacks (some we bought at the MS Confectionary to use up the credits) in our fridge at home, which we still have not finished eating.
So in our case, savings would have only come if our daughter had paid for the child plan, and in that case we would have been in trouble because of the limited options.
We shared meals, desserts and snacks, not to be cheap, but because we did not want to waste food! We all ate very well.
Unless its a special offer (like SPD or free dining) then we would not pay for the DDP. We would save money by going out of pocket, even more than I calculated here, because we would not have ordered all of those desserts!
In 2010, we took our kids to WDW for the first time. At the time, our daughter was 5 and our son was 8. We had the regular plan, and did 4 character meals, as well as two additional buffets. The cost of the DP was lower then, and the savings was significant, even though we ended up with a bunch of snacks as well. At that time we had breakfast in the room.
For this trip we paid OOP for two breakfasts, one at 1900 Park Fare, and one at the hotel (All Star Sports). We also paid for lunch at Legoland. The rest of the meals were covered with the food we got through the plan. This trip did not allow for the regular DP since we had to attend competitions, plus did not have too much time in the parks.
On our previous trip my daughter did not like the Mac and Cheese, she really doesn't do PB J and she didn't like the kids nuggets either. She survived because we had lots of TS, and by sharing with other people. That is the reason we decided to pay for her as an adult for DP purposes. We were lucky that with the SPD offer the price was the same for kids and adults. On the last day I ordered a kids meal at Pizzafari for her, and three adult meals for the rest of us (me, husband and 10 year old). She was pissed when she saw the size of the pizza! Now it might have been enough for her (she is very light) on any other day, but on this day she was hungry! I ended up giving her 3/4 of my pizza, and eating hers instead, along with my salad!

You really have to do your homework when making comparisons. I know that people say 'well, we would eat differently on the DDP vs paying oop' but you can't do that when making a decision.
You have to compare apples to apples. You should figure out what you are likely to order at any particular restaurant. Then, total up each day's cost. Compare that to what the ddp would cost. Many people say that the ddp allows them to eat better. I suppose that's true, in a way. But, we tend to order exactly the same things if we pay oop or use the ddp
Haven't found the ddp to be a money saver in the majority of cases.

DDP was very indulgent for us - which is a big part of why we enjoy our WDW trips so much! Our DDP has always been free - which I'm sure clouds my judgment.
If I was in a situation where paying OOP would result in a very minor savings as compared to purchasing DDP, I would buy the DDP because it helps to relax our thrifty minds - and we would have more treats than we would OOP!
If OOP was a significant savings over DDP, I'd do OOP any day of the week.
We're planning a DLR trip and I'm already mourning not having DDP. More than likely, we'll stick to CS and offsite the whole time. I was debating Ariel's Grotto since my DD adores Ariel, but just can't quite justify it.
That said, we'll be in Orlando for a few days in March and are not doing the parks (As we are going on a Disney cruise) and we are thinking to go to Ohana and pay OOP. We adore Ohana!!

I would just agree that it looks like your QS meals are a little high priced, ours were typically 8-12 max. And actually we often split one of those...
The long run down about planned vs free, and booked vs flexible was really well written.
As well the difference between the appearance of "all inclusive" although you pay more for it, and the appearance of paying per meal was well said.
We have booked with the DP for our next trip, but I don't think we will actually get the value out of it ... BUT, I like the idea of the all inclusive illusion. That being said, already thinking our next trip will likely not use the DP. But we have our ADRs booked already, and are excited about them, so we will keep it as is.

Took the plunge, and since i replaced my old mcaffee with this Norton, my PC runs about twice as fast, and boots up in half the time! Great work, Mr. Norton!

Perhaps he was simply stating the obvious. But when Alex Anthopoulos identified the two major concerns his team faces, he might also have been serving notice on Dustin McGowan and Ryan Goins.
The Toronto Blue Jays general manager appeared Friday on an ESPN podcast with baseball writer Buster Olney, who asked about the main challenges facing the team.
"We like our [first] four spots in the rotation," Anthopoulos replied. "Our fifth spot, we have McGowan in there right now. J.A. Happ's obviously a guy that can step in and be a starter for us as well.
"Second base, it's outstanding defensively with Ryan Goins, but from an offensive standpoint we can certainly upgrade there. Apart from that, we feel like we're a pretty good club."
McGowan has struggled since the Jays rushed the converted reliever into the rotation at the start of the season. In four starts, he owns a 6.88 ERA and a 1.824 WHIP, which means he typically allows almost two baserunners per inning. When batters put the ball in play against him, they're hitting .368.
McGowan is a averaging 4.25 innings per start and admitted Wednesday that fatigue typically sets in when he reaches the 60-65 pitch range.
Manager John Gibbons has long felt McGowan, 32, is more suited to the bullpen at this stage of his career. The manager reiterated that view Friday afternoon, intimating, without actually saying so, that he had been outvoted by Anthopoulos and perhaps other front-office advisors.
While Happ waits in the bullpen, the Jays also have another option at Triple-A. They believe Marcus Stroman is ready – "he's a fully formed pitcher," as one source put it – and if McGowan continues to tread water, they would not hesitate to promote him.
In four starts at Buffalo, Stroman has a 2.18 ERA with 26 strikeouts, six walks and 22 hits in 20 2/3 innings.
The options for second base are less obvious. Team defence has been a strength for Toronto, in contrast to 2013, and Goins has been a big part of that improvement.
The Jays enter a weekend series against Boston with a record of 11-11. They could sit well above .500 but for the surprising collapse of the bullpen over the past week. In the past seven games, Jays' relievers have allowed 22 earned runs and 24 walks in 23 2/3 innings.
Anthopoulos seemed confident the past week was an aberration and that the return of closer Casey Janssen from the disabled list would help to steer the relief corps back to productivity.
"The bullpen has been a strength," he told Olney. "We've had really a rough week here in the 'pen but overall it's been a strength for us, and getting Janssen back probably in about a week will certainly help."
Later in the day, Gibbons said he hopes Janssen can resume his minor-league rehab assignment next week. Janssen pitched in one minor-league game April 15 before he was shut down because the muscle strain in his side still bothered him. He must throw two bullpens without incident before he can pitch again in a minor-league game, and his rehab stint will be longer than normal because he has not pitched for so long.
"I don't see him back here in the next couple weeks," Gibbons said.
Meanwhile, during the ESPN podcast, Anthopoulos certainly did not jump at the chance to give McGowan and Goins a hearty vote of confidence.
"One more starter and a second baseman that would maybe add a little more offence are probably the two things that would really jump out," he said as he zeroed in on the club's key flaws.

4 killed in crash near Sanford
Authorities have released the names of the four people killed when a car crashed into an empty house near Sanford.
Troopers say 31-year-old Aaron Powers was driving on U.S. 421 in Broadway in Lee County around 2:30 a.m. Saturday when the car ran off the left side of the road.
Investigators say the 2006 Dodge Charger was likely speeding as it hit a mailbox and several trees before flipping over and bursting into flames when it hit the home.
Authorities say 35-year-old Katherine Powers and 33-year-old Christopher Baker, each of Broadway, and 38-year-old Rebecca Powell, of Chapin, S.C., also died in the crash.
Troopers weren't sure about the relationship between any of the victims.

Happy Birthday, DeForest Kelley!
Today would have been DeForest Kelley's 94th birthday. Wow! Unhappily for the rest of us, he didn't live to see his 80th roll around. But every year, reliably, I get notes, Facebook messages and other communications from stalwart fans of De's (Carl Rylander, John Bowersox, Marge Duff, Jim Westbrook and others) to remind me that they haven't forgotten him. I hope he's looking down and seeing how much love millions of people still have for him. He once said in an interview with Dan Madsen, "There's nothing deader than a dead actor. I sometimes wonder if they will remember me!" (To which I retorted in print something like (paraphrasing here), "They'll remember you, Mr. Kelley. They'll remember you!" And this was before I reconnected with him again in 1988 and began the amazing journey that ended up with me becoming his personal assistant and caregiver at the end of his life.
DeForest Kelley is ever-present in lots of people's minds--and for all the right reasons. He wasn't 'just' an actor--he was an earth angel with a terrific sense of humor, immense compassion for others, and a smile and blue eyes that lit up the world. Yes, he was a helluva actor. But he was a by-far even-better human being.
At his memorial service at Paramount, I said, "DeForest Kelley was the kind of man God had in mind when he created Adam. If this sad old world was more heavily-populated with DeForest Kelley types, it would be the paradise we all wish it was." He loved God (without being preachy in the least) and loved his neighbor as himself. (With a preacher as a father, he was well-grounded in theology, but not made proud or arrogant or holier-than-thou by it.) He believed in social justice. Everyone who knew him or even just saw him from a stage at a convention felt "beloved".
He was the rarest of all human beings and he did have a ministry: it was all of us who remember him on this day with affection and the yearning to tell him, once again, "Happy Birthday. De!"!

It's so sad that he couldn't have lived to see Karl Urban in his role. If I had a nickel for every time I wanted De to still be alive, I'd be one rich girl

De would have loved Karl Urban's McCoy. Urban is as close to "the real McCoy" as any living actor will ever get. Amazing!

De will never be forgotten, because he gave us so many wonderful memories. Thanks to him I am still the little girl with a friend, called Bones, everytime I watch Star Trek today. I'll always keep him and our space adventures in my heart!

What a beautiful post. I am so glad to know that there are many out there who will not let De's memories die.

Beautiful piece, I loved reading this Kristine..Always wish I would have had the chance to meet DeForest, but his legacy does live on through the fans and the pieces you've written.
PS: I just finished reading Sawdust to Stardust again..makes the third time I've read it, but I never tire of it.

Share it Please
Well, the end of March and beginning of April are always my..."dark days" time (Gilmore Girls anyone?).
You see 10 years ago MRSA invaded my body, and I seriously mean 10 years - March 20th was the day I first felt the pain. I don't really remember much of the hospital, but I do remember the days leading up to my first surgery and the week or so after it when I was home. So, I always just get sort of down for a few weeks around this time.
I mean, I'm happy that I'm alive and all, but it still is just a "why me" sort of moment that most people who have had an illness go through. I guess I just still blame the doctors for not catching it and I still wonder how different my life would be right now (I sure as hell wouldn't have this sweet cyborg hip though).
I've also not done much since then - just the usual Thursday dinner and getting my nails did with Haley, but the pollen here is so ridiculous that going outside is like a sinus death sentence. On Tuesday the weather people said that the pollen count was OVER 9000!!!!! (that's a meme...). Yeah, well the pollen is keeping me from reading on my porch and from wanting to touch my car. I drive a black car, but it's now yellow. It's gross.
Hopefully once the pollen clears up (soon, please) I'll be learning to ride a bike! Hoorah for crossing things off of my robo hip bucket list! I also get to fight for classes on March 30th - and I will win.
I'm going to update again soon...Promise (I always promise don't I?). But no seriously, I was tagged in a blog tag by Jess and I will do that. I WILL!
(I will)

Business Analyst Interview
I interviewed out of undergrad and it was a three round process. First round was a simple behavioral interview whereby they wanted to get a feel for your personality. Second round was case based and looking to understand how you go about solving problems. Third round was more for me as a prospective employee to meet some senior people and understand who I'd be working with.
- How would you go about developing a business case for an IT transformation at a major corporation. Answer Question

Business Analyst InterviewApplication Details
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Accenture in January 2014.Interview Details
I applied through a college recruiter late last year (2013). Began the process in January of 2014 with a phone interview with a recruiter which was basically a resume/background parse in which they want to confirm everything on your resume and see if you could fit into the company.
Shortly after this interview, I was invited to do 2 back to back case and behavioral interviews on the phone with Managers/Senior Managers of Accenture. The interviewers were really laid back and nice. Didn't even feel like an interview but felt more like a conversation with a friend who happened to be looking to hire you. In regards to the case interview, spend some time reading Crack the Case. It is a very good resources. After reading this book, look up practice case books from MBA schools and use them as practice. At a point, either you understand consulting or you don't, if you are struggling throughout the practice then maybe consulting is not a good fit for you.
After this round, I was invited to final rounds at office. They directly pay for your airfare and hotel expenses and will reimburse you for other reasonable expenses. Final rounds consist of a case interview and a confirming interview with Managers/Senior Managers. I didn't do a lot of prep for this round, just two practice cases on the flight into the city. Confirming interview is mainly a conversation about yourself to see if you are the kind of person Accenture can trust to send to a client. Offer came two days later via random phone call from recruiter. I almost had to mute myself because I was so excited to get the job and be done with the job search process. The process was very well organized and all of those involved in the recruiting process were nice, even my fellow recruits were nice!
My biggest advice is to relax, be yourself, and just let the pieces fall however they may.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsBase salary are set by office already, no negotiation there. The salary they offer are more than nice for someone recently out of college. Relocation bonus and signing bonus are icing on the cake and I could have probably negotiate a bigger signing bonus, but if a couple thousand dollars are what is holding you back from joining Accenture, then you are probably not joining for the right reason.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
- None really, cases are something either you get it or you don't. If you don't, do not try to fake it because they will see through it. Have a good answer for "Why Accenture". You cannot apply for a job in a company and expect them to hire you if you, yourself, do not have a good reason why you want to work there. Answer Question

In 1878, the marshy mangrove on the bank of the Vembanad Lake was cleared and replaced by coconut plantations. The person in the wake of this maneuver was one George Alfred Baker of Essex who had arrived in India sixty years earlier to take up missionary work in Kottayam. The Englishman was so awestruck by the splendor of Kumarakom that he settled here and made Kumarakom his abode
Positioned 14 kms from Kottyam and around Kuttanad region lies Kumarakom popularly known as the rice bowl of Kerala. A huddle of tiny islets on the Vembanad Lake, Kumarakom is a pictorial, unsoiled village. An incredibly stunning ecstasy of mangrove forests, pea green paddy meadows and coconut coppices intermingled with enthralling waterways and canals. Kumarakom, located on the Southern coast of India enjoys a proportionate tropical weather. Nature has poised its magic to perfection here. Copious luxuriant coconut palms lining the rivers bow to look at its likeness on the shimmering rivers. Ubiquitously, nature is unsurpassed.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Algae blooms on Sodus Bay
The season's first alert for potentially toxic blue-green algae has just arrived, from Sodus Bay. Two eruptions have been noted, including a sizable one in the Wayne County bay's southern end. There's no word yet if the organisms have produced to in, though it's smart to assume they did until testing proves otherwise.
You can see the alert, from the bay support group Save Our Sodus, here.
Blue-green algae (more properly known as cyanobacteria) typically bloom and release toxin in the latter part of summer and early fall. But I've seen reports of early blooms in other states, probably due to the crazy-warm spring, and the same thing, it seems, is happening in New York.
Kudos to the SOS folks for issuing an early alert. Hopefully this won't be the first of many.
BGA blooming in your lake, bay or pond? Let us know so we can pass it on.

BAST Magazine
I asked my friends behind BAST Magazine to do a little Q&A on their latest issue! Read below.
All the best from sunny Barcelona x Fiona
BAST MAGAZINE Q & A: Can you tell me a little about BAST magazine? Bast magazine is a Danish/Icelandic online magazine founded in 2011, focusing on fashion, music and art within wonderful Scandinavia. The issue is published online 4 times a year and has grown increasingly since we started. We have now readers from over 60 countries around the world which we find quite pleasant.
What is special about this recent BAST issue? and is there any particular trends that you have focus on? Bast no.11 was launched for the first time in print during Reykjavik Fashion Festival where the main focus was Icelandic Fashion. The Icelandic Fashion scene is still young and small but we have a few really talented designers out there which has been a great journey to follow. Bast magazine will always focus on young and up coming talents within fashion, music and art and therefore it was really fun to work with the Icelandic designers for the issue. We did a fashion editorial with the designers which came out great. Go and check out the issue online here: http://issuu.com/bastmagazine/docs/bast_rff_fyrirnetid
Are you working on any special projects or collaborations at the moment? We are working on a new fashion film at the moment and then we recently launched a brand new website were we announced two new members to Team Bast, go and check them out at www.bast-magazine.com. Bast is also getting ready for the all the great music festivals, first stop Distortion and Roskilde Festival and then festivals in Berlin and Iceland – Never a dull moment for Team Bast.
Fatima hand
I love the Fatima hand symbol. This design might be the right ones. I must go to Selfridges or Harrods which is where they sell Thomas Sabo in London. 1/ Glam & Soul Pendant 179 pounds 2/ Glam & Soul Pendant 105 pounds
Designspot: Common Interview
I am inspired by both women's and mens fashion and these two designers behind the Swedish brand COMMON have in my opinion something special going on. That's why I have asked them a few question to get to know more about their brand. I also love their previous collection where they presented prints on bumper jackets and cool caps, which I could see myself wearing. I believe there are much more to come from COMMON and I can't wait to see how they transform their design into women's fashion too.
Common Interview with the Swedish designers Saif Bakir & Emma Hedlund
Fiona Jane: You have previous worked with Kanye West, Wooyoungmi, House of Holland, and COS. What made you decide to start your own fashion brand?
It was when we helped sett up Kanye's studio and label in Paris that we came to realize that we could be doing the same thing for us and this triggered the desire to run our own label. So when Kanye decided to move the studio to London we thought it was time for us to set up Common.
FJ: What is the inspiration for your AW14 collection?
The AW14 collection is inspired by the engineered, polished and purified world seen in Andrew Niccol's Gattaca film, where the past and future are combined and interconnected to create a perfect balance of classic sartorialism and modern aesthetics
FJ: What have happened for the Common brand since 2009, when you won the H&M and Swedish Elle's newcomer award?
We won the award January 2013. Its not long ago but we have since then pick up a few other awards including the NEWGEN MEN where we got there opportunity to showcase during London Collections: Men in January
FJ: You both studied in London, so what are your favorite inspirational hang outs there?
London is a great place for inspiration. Its very dynamic, divers and multicultural so really anywhere you go there is always something that would inspire.
FJ: Are you planning to design women's wear one day?
We do get that question quite often. Emma did actually graduate from BA womenswear at Central St Martins and did the womenswear at Kanye so the knowledge and possibility is definitely there.
FJ: Congratulation that you received the Topman-sponsored NEWGENMEN support at this season's London Men's Collections. What are your expectations for the next season?
Thank you! we are very grateful for the support we have received Topman and The British Fashion Council. Our AW14 collection was well received and hope that we can do an even bigger and stronger collection in the coming season.
LFW: Somerset house
Hey guys, I am back in London after Milan Fashion Week where I have been taking loads of great street style and backstage photos. These pictures I took at Somerset House where I discovered some new cool brands; Romance was born, TZUJI, Georgia Hardinge etc. Click on the images to see more. I am doing way too many things at the moment and I am quite stressed I must say (in a good way). I am so excited to share some VERY good news with you. Saturday 1st March will be the launch day for a new CLOSET project that I have been working on lately. I am doing it together with my good friend who is based in Monaco, yes very glamours! Monday 3rd March I will start a new adventure in my life which only also will bring more glamour to Spotding! Much more about that next week. In between all that I'll try to find time to edit all the amazing closet I have been filming lately. Busy bee! I am totally on it on instagram, so please follow me there too and you will break my heart! <3 @spotding
See you later xxx
ZARA Spring
These looks from ZARA's recent Spring look book and campaign are amazing. I could see myself wearing it all. I am planning to go to Spain soon and that is always when I buy tons of Zara stuff. Just because it's 20% cheaper than anywhere else. I can't wait for Summer now. xx
Acne sunnies
These beautiful ACNE sunglasses would be so perfect for my upcoming Mexico trip. Santa Santa hope you can hear me!?
Sandie, London and her first Burberry Trench coat
Last weekend my friend Sandie visited me in London and we had so much fun shopping. She came for two days only and came home with a lot of good things, both vintage, high street and high fashion. Read more below. I have also attached the first Spotding Closet video that I have done. It's my Sandie girl who is featuring- WATCH and get inspired!!
Pictures above: 1/ Sandie is loving LEON the naturally fast food chain. 2/Me & Sandie chilling after shopping at Topshop. 3/ Sandie is loving her new paliet knit from Topshop. 4/Sandie and I got street styled by Glamour UK. 5/Sandie enjoys London and hanging on the red busses!? 6/At Lucy & Disguise vintage Sandie found an amazing "candy" colored dress – the perfect wedding dress if you were getting married. You can shop their hand -picked vintage HERE.
Fiona Jane: How was your London shopping adventure last week? Sandie: Amazing visiting friends, getting my Burberry and eating gluten free at Leon's.
FJ: How would you describe your style? S: I'm afraid you can't put it down on one paper – schizophrenic perhaps – one day this and the next day something else – But you will always see me with a little print, color or sequins. I have a mickey-mania thing going on – actually it started in London 20 years ago… come and see my Mickey Mouse collection one day!
FJ: You have saved money and bought a Burberry trench coat whilst you were in London. Why was this a big wish for you? What were your thoughts on choosing the model/color? S: Burberry is a classic – and black because it then can tone down my craziness. I think it is possible to wear everything with that coat and I can't wait until the sun is back in Copenhagen.
FJ: What was your impression from London the two days you were here? S: Loved it – I am coming back soon. There were lots of tourists of course, but there were so much visual to be inspired by.
FJ: Where would you recommend other shoppers to go in London? S: Do like me – wear sneakers and stroll… get away from Oxford Street – seek and you'll find the right places.
Get your own Burberry trench coat HERE – Happy Shopping!
Oh Land x Anne Sofie Madsen x Olivia Frølich
The artists behind this shoot are some of my favorite Danes! Musician Oh Land (& model here), designer Anne Sofie Madsen and Photographer Olivia Frølich.
I love Oh Land's music & style (and also her new website made by B14)! The other day I got stopped by a street style photographer from Glamour (UK) and one of the question was, what is your style icon? Normally I don't I have a certain style icon, course I am inspired by everything around me, weather it is friends, magazines or at a art gallery. But if I should mention one style icon it could very well be Oh Land, as she always looks so cool with her own personal look. I met her during Copenhagen Fashion Week in October here and blogged about her again here.
Anne Sofie Madsen is one of my favorite Danish designers, and as you can see in these pictures her designs are incredible and super unique. During Copenhagen Fashion Week AW13 I produced a film together with Berthram's. The film is about a collaboration between jewellery designer Maria Black and Anne Sofie Madsen for their AW13 show. But you still get a very strong insight in Anne Sofie Madsen's universe which I have attached below. Anne Sofie Madsen recently won the design prize at "DANSK Design Talent" competition in Copenhagen.
Last but not least my friend Olivia Frøhlich, which photo style I love and are very inspired by. She took these beautiful photos with Oh Land wearing Anne Sofie Madsen's designs. The colors, propositions – everything is perfect! See more of her amazing work here.
They all be perfect"Spotding closet" girl in my opinion. What do you think?

Live your Unitarian Universalist values out loud. Make your year-end gift today!
About Us
Press Room
Page Navigation
Is it possible to have no religious preference and, at the same time, a crisis of faith?
Not only is it possible, it's the reality for a great many of our military women and men. Which is why Rev. Cynthia Kane, a Unitarian Universalist minister and chaplain with the U.S. Navy, is thrilled about the publication of Bless All Who Serve: Sources of Hope, Courage and Faith for Military Personnel and Their Families, new this month from Skinner House Books.
Bless All Who Serve, edited by Rev. Matthew and Gail Tittle, is a pocket-sized and durable little book of readings and songs from many faith traditions, ancient and modern, plus reflections by veterans and military chaplains.
"When our service members are dealing with issues ranging from death and mortality to peace and violence, they now have a resource where there wasn't one before," said Kane.
In fact, there was once a very similar resource. In 1941, Beacon Press published Think On These Things: Sources of Courage, Hope and Faith for Those Serving Their Country. It was the inspiration for both the look and feel of Bless All Who Serve and the fundraising that made the project possible.
Terry Sweetser is the Vice President for Stewardship and Development at the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), the department that raised nearly $38,000 to develop and print 25,000 copies, which will be distributed free of charge to servicemen and women. But Sweetser's interest in the fundraising wasn't strictly professional.
Sweetser's father, Frank Sweetser, served as a commander in the Navy in World War II. His minister sent him a copy of Think On These Things.
"He carried it with him in the field, into battle," said Sweetser. "He gave away his first copy, and then his second and third copies. The last copy, he kept. He gave it to me in the hopes that I would pass it on to a soldier."
Which he finally did, to a young man headed to the first Gulf War. That young man quickly asked for more, but the book had long been out of print, and Sweetser had no more to give.
When Skinner House Books approached Matt and Gail Tittle to be co-editors of the new volume, they were excited to help meet the need for such a resource. Both spent more than a decade in the armed services, Gail in the Air Force and Matt in the Navy.
"In my years of service, I don't remember having anything like this," said Matt Tittle.
The Tittles took a Unitarian Universalist approach to compiling the selections in Bless All Who Serve, drawing from a multitude of sources and assuming a diverse readership.
For Sweetser, this project is more than a benefit to those actively serving in the military. It's an important act of faith for all Unitarian Universalists.
"I believe that Bless All Who Serve is the continuation of a tradition that has been important to Unitarian Universalists for a long time," said Sweetser. "Our roots in the idea of national service go extremely deep."
In addition to copies funded by donors, the UUA has also printed copies that are for sale through the UUA Bookstore.
Free copies of Bless All Who Serve are available to military chaplains, ministers and enlisted men and women of all faiths. Chaplains and ministers should contact Julie Shaw (mplassistant @ uua.org) at the UUA. Servicemen and women should contact Lorraine Dennis (ldennis @ clfuu.org) at the Church of the Larger Fellowship.
To purchase copies, please visit the UUA Bookstore online or call (800) 215-9076.
For more information contact bookstore @ uua.org.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations.
Please consider making a donation today.

To give voters a chance to know the five candidates a little better before the public forum — or for those who cannot attend Tuesday night's event — The Herald asked each candidate to share a little about themselves and why they are running.
Incumbents Linda Reed and Jeff Richards and challengers Rocky Fleer, Helen Hood and Mike Skidmore are squaring off for the three openings on the commission. Longtime commissioner and five-time mayor Gene Ramsey did not seek re-election. Ramsey has served on the commission since 1994.
Here, in alphabetical order, are the candidates' responses to The Herald's questions.
NAME: Raquel "Rocky" Fleer
FAMILY: Single and have two grown sons, five grandkids and two great-grandkids.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN OTTAWA? 33 years.
WHAT WOULD MAKE OTTAWA BETTER? Lower mill levies and sales tax and better streets.
REASON FOR RUNNING: Committed to the betterment of our community and citizens.
KEY PLATFORM: I want to be the voice of the people and make decisions that are best for the citizens and city staff.
NAME: Helen Hood
FAMILY: Married to David Hood. I have two daughters: RaJeanna and husband, Rod Barnhart, and MaLinda and husband, Shane Manis. I have three granddaughters, one grandson and two great-grandsons.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN OTTAWA? I have lived in Ottawa for 48 years and have been a Franklin County resident all my life.
WHAT MAKES OTTAWA A GREAT CITY? Ottawa is a great place to raise a family, retire and get involved with the small town community. The employment opportunities are endless for those of all ages and backgrounds.
WHAT WOULD MAKE OTTAWA BETTER? I believe more economic development is needed to broaden the population diversity. I also believe we should continue to get our youth involved in the community with their families.
REASON FOR RUNNING: I am running because I have a passion for our community and maintaining the small town we raised our family in. To keep Ottawa a safe and fun place and continue to prosper. I believe in working with all the entities of Ottawa, side by side, I can make a difference. I believe it takes a village of concerned and active citizens to help Ottawa prosper.
KEY PLATFORM: Work with the community and fellow city commissioners to organize and implement a citywide neighborhood watch program. I also agree with the development of the dog park and playground areas in our community. I am also in agreement to have a study for pay comparisons for City of Ottawa employees.
LIFE PHILOSOPHY: My life philosophy is much like the U.S. Navy's motto: "Honor, Courage and Commitment." Be honest, be courageous and always be committed.
NAME: Linda Reed
FAMILY: Husband of 30 years, Louis Reed. Two married daughters, two sons (one in high school and one at K-State), four grandchildren.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN OTTAWA? We have lived in Ottawa for 21 years, but I was actually born in Ottawa and raised in Pomona before living away for many years.
WHAT MAKES OTTAWA A GREAT CITY? The people! The quality of life in Ottawa is first and foremost the best thing about the city. It is a fantastic place to raise a family as well. The proximity to larger city amenities, but the small town atmosphere in Ottawa gives you the best of both worlds. It truly is a great place to live, to work, and to play in!
WHAT WOULD MAKE OTTAWA BETTER? I believe that the involvement of more people and their ideas and opinions would make the city better. We need continued improvements in our sidewalks and streets. We need to maintain an affordable cost of living in our city.
REASON FOR RUNNING: I am running for re-election because I feel that I've learned a lot in the five years I've served on the commission, and I want to continue to make use of what I've learned to better serve the citizens of Ottawa. I consider myself as a "return on investment" for the people who live in Ottawa. I believe that the community has invested in me through training, education and five years of experience on the commission. I want to pay some of that investment back to the community by continuing to serve. Most of all, I want to work to continue improvements in our community by serving with the rest of the commissioners and city staff.
KEY PLATFORM: To keep Ottawa an affordable place to live, while continuing to find ways to continue improving our quality of life in Ottawa.
LIFE PHILOSOPHY: I believe that it is important for a person to follow their heart. For me that means to stay true to my faith and my conscience. I believe it is important to make sure that I treat all persons with respect and dignity. My philosophy is that every mistake that we make is another opportunity to improve. As long as we continue to hold true to our convictions, we can make a difference in the lives of others.
NAME: Jeff Richards
FAMILY: Michelle and I have three sons and one daughter, all living at home and attending middle and elementary schools.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN OTTAWA? We moved to Ottawa in 2000.
WHAT MAKES OTTAWA A GREAT CITY? I love the small-town feel of Ottawa. We have a lot of the amenities of a larger city, and we are close enough to get to the bigger cities if needed. Our parks, programs, medical facilities, recreation opportunities, etc. add a lot to our quality of life.
WHAT WOULD MAKE OTTAWA BETTER? I would like to see our cost of living (taxes) be lower. I would also like to see more "better" paying jobs.
REASON FOR RUNNING: I am running for re-election because I want to help make a positive difference in my community. I have never thought that doing things just because "that's the way we've always done it" makes sense. Sometimes the way we are doing things may be the best way. However, helping to find better ways, and often less expensive ways, to do things is very rewarding.
KEY PLATFORM: I am a strong supporter of open and responsible government, and being a responsible steward of tax dollars. I think we need to continue to add and improve our sidewalks and parks. I want to see all of our city streets paved. We can do these things only when there is money to pay for it. This can happen if we have a strong and stable economic environment. The city government can help foster this environment through our tax policy and sensible regulations. Having clear and certain policies in place is a major factor in recruiting and growing businesses.
LIFE PHILOSOPHY: As a Christian, I am guided by my faith. As a citizen, and elected official, I look to our Founders and our founding documents as a guideline. As an Air Force veteran I still follow the USAF motto: "Integrity first, Service before self, Excellence in all we do." I think all of these complement each other well and give me a strong foundation.
NAME: Michael Ben Skidmore
FAMILY: Married to my wife, Marilee, for 33 years. Three grown children, a son-in-law and newborn granddaughter.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN OTTAWA? I grew up in Ottawa, so I spent the first 18 years of my life here, and then went to KSU for four years. We lived in central Kansas for 17 years, then moved back here in 1995 and have been here since.
WHAT MAKES OTTAWA A GREAT CITY? It's the people. Just like a church is made up of the people, and not the building or the name on the door, it's about the people. We have some extraordinary citizens in critical leadership positions in this town, both private and public. We're not perfect, and when issues arise, we have the right people in the right places to provide the leadership to get through the rough patches. I also like the idea that we have the "small town feel, but bigger city appeal," as the Chamber has promoted. We have most of the amenities of a larger city, yet the safety and security of a small town. Ottawa is not only a great place to raise a family, but now Money Magazine tells us what we already knew — and that is we are a great place to retire, too.
WHAT WOULD MAKE OTTAWA BETTER? First of all, I think our current city commission is doing a great job of providing the leadership we need with carefully weighed decisions. We are also blessed with exceptional city department heads in their respective roles. To decide on this side of the election what could make it better is difficult to say, but if there is one thing on which I will focus if elected is to better market what we have here. I will push for more economic development, which in turn provides better and higher paying jobs for not only our citizens, but also those who will be moving here in the future. We are at a very positive and strategic geographical location, and we need to better market that gift to those that don't know the advantages of living and working here.
REASON FOR RUNNING: I have considered running for several years and after listening to the advice of others, I decided it was time. With my experience in both managing people and money for many years, I feel this position would allow me to work with the other commissioners in helping to shape the future of Ottawa. I believe in efficient and effective city government. I am ever watchful for waste in spending, and would be assertive in getting the most benefit out of each tax dollar invested in Ottawa.
KEY PLATFORM: Measured growth without sacrificing our identity.
LIFE PHILOSOPHY: God is first, my family and friends are second, and I am third.
Profiles of the six Ottawa school board candidates are planned for Tuesday's Herald.

Once you have downed him using a normal strat, who cares how you do it again?
There's been a rather heated flamefest on the US R&D forums about The "Perfect Spot" for Prince and I was curious what a rather more mature group thought about it.
Basically, as you stand in the doorway and face the prince, there are two alcoves on the far left wall. They are perfectly spaced so that if the prince is tanked in one, the ranged classes can stand in the other and be just at the right range to do their thing.
The trick though, is that no infernal will touch you in these alcoves.
They will fall around you. They may fall between your tank and the ranged, but no pulse will hit those alcoves. Worst case, your melee has to run around or gets trapped at range and twiddles.
Here's a pic of the position somebody posted: Prince Pic
My guild tried it this week on one of our runs and once they got the positioning right, they said it worked fine.
So anyway, what do you think? Is it an exploit or not?
Once you have downed him using a normal strat, who cares how you do it again?
Check out my blog
we always have the ranged & healers stand in the doorway, while i move up along the right side wall. only problem that can occur is if one drops between the tank and the ranged, or occasionally too close to prince forcing me to move to one side or the other.
When we were still doing Kara regularly, the other two groups that ran would use the positioning strat, while we would have ranged healers in the doorway, and myself on the right wall. We rarely, if ever, wiped to prince while they generally had a hell of a time trying to get the alcove positioning right, wiping occasionaly because of this. So in my experience, trying to use the alcove can potentially cause problems, while if you do it normally you expect there to be problems and can adjust more readily.
Well here is my opinion on the issue.
I wouldn't use it…not because of the issue of "its an exploit" "its not an exploit" thing, its because I would want to know "Who's the rtard".
Basically when you look at raider who have two types, those who are dedicated to the raid and those who aren't.
Now you can get unlucky with prince, but more often then not, people just need to pay attention and move out of the way. If you have the same person dieing on prince over and over when no one else is, You've got a rtard.
Also while learning the prince fight; you also see who will be there through the wipes, and who will be there just for the loot. We all want loot, but not all of us want to work for it. So you do the prince fight while having your people run around, it does take time and practice, and those that stay practice, wipe, and get up and do it again will show themselves as such. You know that you can take those players further in raids.
Those who bitch and complain that they don't want to wipe or stop showing up because they just want loot not repair bills, You've got an rtard.
That's kinda what I think about the issue, to me the fight is a competency check more then a strategy/gear check type of fight. The fight from kara out get harder and require more responsibility on the players part to move/dps/heal/other when needed. So if they cannot even function on prince, they are not going to be able to function past prince.
What Stonehoof said.
Democracy is two wolfes and a sheep voting what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well armed sheep contesting the vote.
/agree with Stonehoof.
as it turns out the more apt question is "who is NOT a retard"
"Oh shit, this one is coming right for us, ummm" is not a good direction to send people, IMO. Once the healers lose range and are running around like a drunk on a dciveing course knocking over cones and whatnot, I die and the Prince takes his junk out of my face, It adds insult to injury to be able to say: "Umm....if you clowns had just moved right there >ping, ping, ping< you'd have been safe.
Wiping 20 straight times on Prince (yes, 20) is a good character builder. We ripped him a new one this past week and are feeling better about it(and he coughed up a new hat for me, yay!). at some point we can all look back on it and laugh. The retarded part is that we killed him the first ngiht of attempts on the third pull THEN had the infamous "bloody Sunday"
I dunno, though....I sometimes get the feeling like people just aren't going to get it and I wish there was something I could do. It really doesn't make tanking him any easier aside from not having to move him but even then.....but , no we have it now so no reason to do that. I'm glad I hadn't herd about it or I would have been compelled to try it.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
Having to move during Prince helps develop both healer/dps and tank situational awareness, which in my opinion is what the fight is about, other than also being a gear check on the tank for higher end content.
That position is pretty nifty though, and I would say is totally legit, even though it cheeses the encounter. Blizzard will probably increase the range of the hellfire if they care.

"When I saw this had over 1000 reviews and 5 starts I figured I had to try it. This was the most lackluster dish I have ever made. I don't see how it's rated a 5 star. We will not make this one again.""
