Marvin Gaye
The best-selling Motown artist of all time, singer Marvin Gaye was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 -- some three years after the singer was shot dead by his father. His career was marked by major commercial and artistic achievements, as well as personal troubles including daily beatings as a child, an ugly divorce (from Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr.'s sister), and a severe cocaine addiction.
Born Marvin Gay Jr., he got his start singing in church choirs as a child and soon moved on to doo-wop in the '50s. The group he was in caught the attention of Gordy, who signed him to Motown, and by 1963 his singles were starting to chart. Throughout the decade, he had many hits for the label, some on his own and some that were duets with such artists as Mary Wells and Tammi Terrell (whose untimely death had a profound impact on Gaye). His 1968 single "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" topped the charts and was his greatest success.
By this time Gaye was moving away from the packaged Motown sound and Gordy's short leash, wanting to pursue his own artistic vision and comment on the state of the world around him. The concept album What's Going On represented a major shift, examining the Vietnam War, poverty and discrimination, and other pressing issues of the day. Despite the fact that Gordy resisted releasing the 1971 album, What's Going On had several hit singles, and Gaye's vindication helped other Motown artists get more creative control over their own work. A couple of years later, the singer moved into the realm of sexed-up ballads with Let's Get It On, which became his most successful album.
Drug, marital and legal troubles began to take their toll on Gaye and his career in the later '70s and early '80s. In 1982 he had a dramatic comeback with Midnight Love, which featured the hit single "Sexual Healing," but his behavior continued to be erratic and cocaine-addled, culminating in the violent quarrel with his father that led to his death. In later years, his work, and What's Going On in particular, have continued to earn critical appreciation and commercial success.

Yankee Stadium is playing its part to reduce waste and conserve energy for a greener planet.

The New York Yankees donated $500,000 to support relief efforts in the tornado ravaged southern region of the United States. Of the total, $250,000 was allocated to The Salvation Army and $250,000 to The American Red Cross.
"On behalf of the entire New York Yankees organization, we would like to express our deepest condolences to all those affected by the devastating storms in Alabama and throughout the South," said New York Yankees General Partner and Vice Chairperson Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal. "During the most difficult of times, the resiliency of the American spirit brings people together. We are eager to join so many others in helping to rebuild these proud and vibrant southern communities. In the days, weeks and months ahead, we will continue to keep everyone in our hearts and prayers."
The New York Yankees and the New York Blood Center established a partnership to address the issue of the declining blood donor population. As a result, the New York Yankees High-School Blood Donor Championship was initiated. High-schools based in the metropolitan area are provided with incentives (tickets, promotional items, etc.) to motivate staff and students 16 years or older to donate blood at their school blood drives. The total number of donations collected at each school competing in the Blood Donor Championship is tallied at the end of the academic year, and the top schools are invited to attend a game at Yankee Stadium and are honored in a pre-game ceremony on-field. Since the program's inception in 1996, approximately 650,000 donations have been made, providing patients in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut-based hospitals with almost two-million life-saving blood products.
In response to the drastic drop in blood donations associated with Hurricane Irene, the New York Yankees and the New York Blood Center teamed-up to administer numerous blood drives throughout the tri-state area and implement an incentive program to enhance donations. Approximately four thousand two hundred tickets to various New York Yankees 2012 regular season home games were donated by the Yankees organization to support the effort. In recognition of each donors' espouse/commitment, they were provided with 2 tickets to attend a game at Yankee Stadium. Exceeding the New York Blood Centers goal by 577 donors, the united effort inspired 2,187 individuals to donate blood.
The New York Yankees are proud to have introduced the creation of HOPE Week, a unique week-long community program designed to Help Others Persevere and Excel. During HOPE Week, the Yankees brought to light five remarkable stories of inspiration.

Post subject: Camera Concerns
Ive been growing tired of the camera I have, it works just fine but my issue with it is that its big. Its annoying to carry around, I have to pack with it in mind and I dont like lugging it about. I find myself reluctant to take photos because my cameras a hassle. I could put up with the size if it were a super duper fancy camera but its pretty bog standard.
So Id like a new one but I want to put more thought into it this time and since I know nothing about cameras Id like the advice of forumites more experienced than I.
My main concern is that it be compact. Ive looked at a few on the Jessops website but there are lots and I dont really know where to start. I did look at
but theyre expensive and Id like to know if theyre worthwhile. The cameras themselves are quite small but they do have large lenses although that does seem to depend on what lens you choose (which raises another set of questions).
Or maybe Im better off just buying a compact but if Im going to buy a new camera I want a good one.
Thanks all
P.s. Not sure if this belongs in the arts and crafts section or if its safe in general discussion.

Well I don't think a dragon's going to eat it if that's what you mean
What do you want it to do?
Do you use a lot of different lenses on your camera? Do you do a lot of manual adjustments to the exposures/apertures or do you tend just to shoot in auto? What do you do with the images once you've got them - is the quality (i.e. jpeging artefacts) a concern to you? Do you use zoom a lot?
I'd tend to say if you don't use different lenses a CSC is just overkill. And I tend to think that people who use a lot of difference lenses like fairly precise control over the settings which is something that CSCs tend to fail at given they hide the controls away in menus.
Battery life?
And then there's the hand test of course: How do they feel in your hand? I've got fairly big mits so a CSC'd just be a pain in the neck for me ^_^ Heck DSLRs still aren't that ergonomically pleasing. Tend to end up shooting with it in the inside of my opposing elbow like an old style pistol =p
Do you really need a camera? That's another thing. If you just want something to snap the occasional shot down the pub I'd say most recent camera phones'd do. ^_^

Actually, all truth be told, my iPhone 4 takes better pictures than my Kodak Z812 IS. That is to say, so long as I don't intend to zoom, and am shooting off-hand, the iPhone 4 is MASSIVELY better (and shoots in HDR to boot). If I take time to set up on a tripod, properly adjust my settings and light readings, and give some solid effort then the Kodak's pictures will blow it away.
Nem is right. Do you want a point-and-shoot? As in, the type of camera that you can walk around with and take fairly solid pictures? Do you want a camera that you're capable of using for macro shots, but also walking about with? One of the most important things to consider is how steady your
are. Mine shake. Without a tripod, my Kodak is pretty much junk. That's why I shoot 3-10 shots per picture, so that one of them is salvageable.
So, let's begin with
what you want to do with it
, and then go from there, yes? ^_^

Something I can walk around with definitely, but I'd like something that's capable of more artistic shots as well. I'm not sure how steady my hands are but all the photos I've posted on the forum have been taken just with my hands, I don't own a tripod or anything.
I'm not too sure what I want really, maybe a point and shoot is closer to what I want but there have been times when I'd like more advanced features on my camera.

is the camera I have now. To be fair, calling it 'bog standard' was a bit harsh, it is a good camera. My main issue with it is the size. (Ironcially enough one of the reviews criticised it for being 'too compact')
There are a couple of other problems with it though, I'd like a camera that can take continuous photos in quick succession, this camera can apparently do that but I've never been able to make it work.
The second issue is that there's a delay between pressing the button and it actually taking the photo, which has annoyed me on many occasions.
If I could get a camera like this in a smaller size with those features I think I'd be happy.

Hmmm, well, anything smaller than that is probably just going to be your run of the mill digital camera. I know that Nikon makes pocket digital cameras with continuous shooting modes. The processing delay is just something you're going to have to research, though.

So I actually have two cameras. The first, a Kodak EasyShare Z981, I bought almost purely for its super-macro-zoom capability (1mm!). It's an almost-DSLR in that it has PASM adjustments but stops short of actual manual control (the lack of which I constantly mourn). It has a 26x zoom, and it also has a neck strap which I use mostly for stabilization. It can also take RAWs, but those take a long time to process in-camera and I don't have the software to deal with them on the computer, so I can't say much about that.
However: The battery is super annoying. It takes four AAs, not an Li-ion battery, and the charger that comes with is a fire hazard. I went and bought a new one from Radio Shack. The Z981 is a little temperamental (macro only works on Program, not Auto) and it takes a few seconds after the picture is snapped to be ready to shoot the next one, but if you're in focus (green box) you can snap immediately. I've learned to work around this, and it's helped me choose the right moment if the action is fast. It takes a few seconds for the flash to recharge also, I've noticed. It's heavy and bulky, and might even be a little bit bigger than the one you have now, but that's okay for me - I always intended it for serious photo shooting. I make a point of not carrying it around except, basically, to weddings, flowers/nature shoots, and short touristy jaunts.
If you have a bit more money, I'd go for a bit more camera. It's just that my parents refused to let me spend more than the $500 I'd need for a good DSLR.
Then at some point I came into some money (I think I did a research group on campus) and bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH20. This is my 'all-purpose' camera, a pocket point and shoot with 'intelligent auto' and great photo quality, amazing light adjustment for dark photos. It's easily packable - I carry it in my purse all day every day for shooting those random hilarious moments you wish you could capture. It turns on fast, takes a few seconds for the zoom to charge, but I don't have a problem with it. Photo quality is the same as the Z981. I like it - I used it today for my cave pictures, for example, and it worked wonderfully.
Both cameras hold several hundred pictures depending on the quality you select and the size of your memory card. On a 2G, for example, the Z981 holds almost 300 on the best 4x6 setting (awesome, when I take between 150 and 200 photos per wedding). The Lumix holds a similar amount but I can't remember an exact number.
Is that too much information...? Usa was a huge help when I was searching. ^_~

PLANT CITY, Fla. — Meeting ahead of their seasonal spring start, Florida blueberry growers heard how they can more efficiently work with the laborers who harvest their crops.
Labor discussions dominated the March 7 meeting of the Bartow-based Florida Blueberry Growers Association.
Fritz Roka, a researcher with the University of Florida Institute of Food & Agricultural Sciences' Southwest Florida Research & Education Center in Immokalee, said improved software is allowing federal and state agencies to more efficiently share information in their electronic verification efforts.
"The essential problem we're facing is 50%-70% of your workers aren't legally documented," he said. "If the INS takes them away, who are you going to replace them with?"
Monique Perez, an investigator with the U.S. Department of Labor's Tampa wage and hour division, discussed the importance of growers' labor documentation.
"You have to educate your crew leaders," she said. "They're the ones in the fields making sure you're properly recording hourly records. Make sure your records of hours worked are accurate because it is a problem, not just in the agricultural industry but in every industry we work with."
Association president Bill Braswell, owner of Auburndale-based Polkdale Farms and manager of Bartow-based Clear Springs Packing LLC, said the labor sessions helped growers understand a complex issue.
"The growers had an opportunity to go one-on-one with the department of labor and other experts," he said. "Some questions were answered and the fog cleared. If nothing else, there are a lot of labor laws we need to understand better."
Braswell said show attendance was 275, down from the 500 that attended last year. He said lower attendance was likely because northern Florida growers were busy the night before to ensure berries weren't damaged when temperatures dropped to 32 degrees.

All of our leather collars for dogs are custom handcrafted in the USA with top-of-the-line materials. They are a great choice for pet owners who want something durable yet classy for their dog.
We have leather dog collars for small and large dogs. You can also find options for standard, center ring and ScruffTag designs.
Our colors will not fade or run. See below for more about care and cleaning your dog's leather collar.
From English Bridle to embroidered leather collars, we've got you and your dog covered.
Types of leather available include English bridle leather, Italian designer leather and Bison leather. We also have rolled leather collars from Mendota, which make great training collars.
Leather collars are beautiful but do need a little extra care. You can use a damp sponge for a quick clean up. For a better clean, we recommend cleaning with a rag and saddle soap, or other leather cleaner, followed by a leather conditioner.
Some pet parents recommend using hot water for the best results. Let the collar air dry. Then buff the leather with a clean cloth. Finally, use another soft, clean cloth to apply leather conditioner and buff it one last time.
Take care of your dog's leather collar by limiting exposure to water. If you're looking for a good waterproof collar that looks and feels similar to leather, check out our Soft Grip ScruffTag dog collars.
Choose a traditional style and brown color leather collar if you're wanting a classic look. This look is great for loyal hunting dogs or show dogs.
If you're looking for something a bit different, we also have designer leather products that are available in many colors including purple, yellow, pink and light blue. These are a big hit with pet parents who want to add a splash of color while keeping the classy look and durability of leather.
Scrufftag collars are our specialty here at dogIDs, and we have a leather version as well! This style of leather collar features an engraved nameplate that sits on the back of the dog's neck.
Pet parents love the leather ScruffTag collars because it's easy to see their dog's information and a dangling tag is no longer required.
Our customer service team can help you via email or phone. We are a small, family-led business in North Dakota and we like taking phone calls from all over the place!

Child care assistance programs (funded by the Child Care and Development Fund) are available in every state. They are managed by agencies chosen by the government (called "lead agencies") that make decisions about eligibility, benefits, and what to call the program in that state.
Frequently Asked Questions
Program Benefits | Am I eligible? | How do I apply? |
This program helps families with low incomes pay for child care. If you are eligible for assistance, you'll have to pay a portion of the cost of child care, but what you pay will be based on how much your family makes (sliding scale fees). The percentage you're required to pay will vary depending on where you live.
You may be eligible for assistance if:
Contact your local agency for more information.
In some states, families can apply by telephone or mail. Contact your local agency to find out what you need to do to apply in your state. In many communities there also are child care resource and referral (CCR&R) agencies that can provide information about how to apply for child care assistance. Find a CCR&R agency near you or call (toll-free) 1-800-424-2246.
My name is Seville Jackson.
I am 25 year old young mother of two children.
I have been struggling and trying to get my GED to go to school for criminal justice but i can afford childcare and i can get assistance from the state because they said that i will need a letter from my GED instructor stating my test scores and my class schedule.
I have tried getting a letter for that but they said that if i was going to be doing online classes while mu husbands works during the week then they cant provide a letter to me for that because they said that they can get in bog trouble if the state calls them and find out that im not in class.My husband works and he only has wed or thurs. off during the week and sometimes he have to work every other weekend. So until i get some kind of childcare i cant go to ged classes or find work. I really need some kind of help.
This is a good program for parent who are having a low income that wants to work and wanted to intrust their children who can take care of them while the parents are out for work. This is also like a children's non-profit organization that takes care of abandoned , street children in the world.

The Return of the King is the towering climax to J. R. R. Tolkien's trilogy that tells the saga of the hobbits of Middle-earth and the great War of the Rings. In this concluding volume, Frodo and Sam make a terrible journey to the heart of the Land of the Shadow in a final reckoning with the power of Sauron.
In addition to narrating the prose passages, Rob Inglis sings the trilogy's songs and poems a capella, using melodies composed by Inglis and Claudia Howard, the Recorded Books studio director. This recording also contains Tolkien's preface to the trilogy, including a prior history of the ring, and shire habitat, history, and folkways.
©1983 Christopher R. Tolkien, Michael H.R.Tolkien, John F.R. Tolkien, and Priscilla M.A.R.Tolkien (P)1990 Recorded Books
I've listened to Fellowship and Two Towers on audiobook by the same narrator, and I had been trying to find Return of the King on CD from a bunch of different libraries and no such luck- but now it's finally here!
Rob Inglis does a wonderful job as the reader, and gives the characters their own voice. I've read the books before and enjoyed them, so I knew that I would like this story- but if you have never read the books before then I definitely reccomend listening to this version. :)
I love clean books of all sorts. Love mysteries, fantasies epic to kids stories, fairy tales, romances, humor, and historical fiction
"May the Hair On Your Toes Never Fall Out!"
We are at the end of our war trilogy. Some people like to call this book/movie the story with a thousand endings. I disagree. There are several things that have to be wrapped up in this story. Will the hobbits ever get home? Will Aragorn ever become king? Will Frodo and Sam fulfill their quest? Will your favorite characters still be standing when it is all over? Will good triumph over evil? Keep your eyebrows crossed and hang on to your walking sticks because this book is exciting! I have read it so many times, but it never gets old for me. I think over all that the Lord of the Rings is one of the best stories about friendship and enduring to the end that I have ever encountered. The history and poetry are delightful. Maybe I am biased because I am a Tolkien nut, but this book and the other two in the trilogy are fantasy at their best. If you can hang in there and if you are patient enough, the Appendices at the end offer some interesting back story you won't get anywhere else. I hope you like it as much as I do.
I focus on fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, science, history, politics and read a lot. I try to review everything I read.
"Great Story, Good Narration"
The Lord of the Rings is a true classic and if you have not experienced it (or only experienced the movies) this recording should be a wonderful experience. This recording includes the prefix and appendices (both at the end of the recording), which might be dry for some, but is great for LOTR geeks. Having an unabridged Lord of the Rings on Audible has been long awaited and is terrific. If I had not been exposed to the NPR/Minds-Eye production of this series I would have been pretty happy with the narration. The Minds-Eye production was abridged but was a really excellent performance. Rob Ingles' narration is very good, and he does particularly well presenting the difficult epic poetry sections, but I did not much like his singing and overall a simple narration can't compete with the Minds-Eye performances. Nevertheless I was very happy to have this excellent unabridged version. I started out a little unhappy with the narration, but as time went on I just became quite immersed in the story.
"great performance"
post destruction of ring
uses voices and songs. A master of narrator. Best in the business
narration is like the first 2 books. Rob Inglis work in this trilogy is constant perfection
"Rob Inglis and JRR Tolkien in Perfect Partnership"
Number One
Two juvenile series -- Oz and Harry Potter, all inspired by the classic Beowolf, came to mind during this book. There certainly seems to be a chain of inspiration among every hero adventure series, no matter the characters or settings.
I both laughed out loud and cried.
I listened to the audiobook on a road trip because I was in the middle of reading the books and they don't like you to read while driving. It couldn't have made the travel more delightful. If I could, after this experience, I'd walk around listening to a great audiobook all the time, and never engage in real life again.
"brilliant end to a rich and riviting story"
Rob Inglis narration of this beautiful series ,with it's richly imagined characters and places ,the poetry, the songs, left me wishing for more. If you have only seen the movies this series is a must read,or in this case even better ,narrated with such skill the story becomes even more vivid.
A great performance of a great book! Te lord of the rings is a classic.
I would recommend this to anyone!
"Great voice"
I will always enjoy this story!!! It has been a part of my life and an enjoyable read of all time
"Great story of course!"
I love Lord of the Rings. The narrator was ok...I think that have the cast of the movies read it would be pretty great.
"Great Story"
great story well narrated with a good epilogue about the other characters of the book
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Rugby Stripe Maxi Dress
Pretty but..
I have to agree with the previous review. It's a very pretty dress, but the bust area runs a size bigger. I won't recommend sizing down, since the rest of the dress is true to size. I wear a bebe XS , 110 lbs,34 D. Also I'm 5'7 and this dress barely hits the floor. I really like it and I'm keeping it. Giving it 4 stars because I have to get it altered.

show stopper
I wore this dress today and numerous people stopped me to tell me my dress was beautiful. LOVE it!!
April 27, 2013
Better than expected!
I saw this dress in the "must have" section and loved it! i almost changed my mind and cancelled the order, but I just received it today and I absolutely LOVE it! The fit is great, but the only downfall is that the bust runs REALLY big...I'm a D cup (size 10/12) and the large size is great everywhere except for the bust. I'll have to take it in a bit but its worth doing. The material is a little clingy too, so size up if this is not the look you are going for!

But God had to remove King Saul. "And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will."
So what made Saul unacceptable and what made David a man after God's own heart?
Saul sought advice from those around him and received counsel from ungodly sources. David sought the heart of God to act according to His will.
"A man after mine own heart" didn't mean David possessed all the attributes and characteristics of God, but David sought God in making decisions that he would fulfill God's will for His people.
And years later, David passed on the same desire to his son Solomon as he gave instructions for the building of the temple, telling him to seek wisdom and understanding from the Lord. In 1 Chronicles 22:13, we read his words: "Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed." And in verse 19, "Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the Lord."
The psalmist wrote in Psalm 37:4, "Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart."
The desire of David's heart was to please God. So should it be for every child of God. These are not desires to satisfy the flesh or to experience prosperity. As we delight ourselves in God, our desires will be toward Him, our Lord and Savior. Let's remind ourselves how earthly things grow dim as we "turn our eyes unto Jesus."
Paul told the Ephesians about the opposite before they became the children of God. "Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others" (Ephesians 2:3). But now, he continued, "... in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13).
The only way to receive the desires of our heart is to take the advice given to Solomon from is father: "Set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God ..."
To do well, a Christian's desire should be to love God with all his heart, soul and mind and love his neighbor as thyself, as Jesus answered the lawyer's question about the greatest commandment. "... Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" (Matthew 22:37-39 KJV).
And the Apostle James echoed this in James 2:8: "If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well."

Video gambling a winning hand for some
BY STEVE METSCH email@example.com March 9, 2013 1:14AM
Giuseppe Ventrella, of Oak Forest, tries his luck on the gambling machines at Cindy's Pub in Oak Forest, IL, on Thursday, February 28, 2013. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: April 11, 2013 6:06AM
Giuseppe Ventrella sat down at a video gambling machine at Cindy's Pub in Oak Forest at 9:30 a.m. on a Thursday, dug out four $20 bills and started having fun.
About 15 minutes later, his 80 bucks were gone.
Ventrella, 60, stepped out for a smoke.
A short time later, he put $40 into another machine. This time, he won $210.
A few minutes later, $20 was reinvested. Cha-ching, Ventrella earned another $120.
"I enjoy when I win but I don't like when I lose," said Ventrella, a concrete worker who won about $200 the previous night.
The Oak Forest man was smiling. So was pub owner Cindy Tuccillo.
The city of Oak Forest and the state of Illinois have reasons to be pleased, too, because not everyone has the luck of a Giuseppe Ventrella. Just ask the guy nursing a morning eyeopener who shook his head and said, "I've been down on my luck lately."
Luck mostly has been with those who operate and offer video gambling, which finally was launched in October under a state law passed in 2009.
The state, for instance, collected $2.445,301 and local governments claimed $489,060 in January.
According to the Illinois Gaming Board, income generated from the video gambling terminals is divided among the state, the local government entity where the establishment is located, the terminal operator, the licensed location, and Scientific Games, which built and maintains the system that tracks the machines statewide.
Including winnings that are reinvested, a staggering $125,459,092 was played statewide in January. The actual amount of money people took out of their pockets and purses to play was $32,443,447.
The state collects 30 percent of the net income generated from each licensed video gaming terminal. Of the state's portion, 5 percent is passed to the local government entity. Of the remaining 70 percent, Scientific Games receives 0.7275 percent of the net terminal income. The remainder is divided equally between the terminal operator and the business where the gambling machine is located.
Here's the take for local communities in January, the most recent figures available, according to the Illinois Gaming Board: Alsip, $2,136; Blue Island, $4,380; Bridgeview, $4,075: Chicago Heights, $1,143; Chicago Ridge, $2,955; Crestwood, $1,862; Crete, $135; Ford Heights, $855; Justice, $5,600; Lockport, $2,834; Manhattan, $1,581; Midlothian, $310; Orland Hills, $1,891; Palos Hills, $1,749; Park Forest, $413; Richton Park, $93; Posen, $1,898; and Worth, $804.
Some businesses do even better.
Tuccillo made $8,423 from the five machines in January. Her business is one of the biggest gambling machine moneymakers in the Chicago area, records show.
"Without them, it would be dead in here, hard to pay bills," she said. "It's not only me. Everyone else is doing good."
The machines bring in new customers who eat and drink, she said, creating more profit.
That's the idea, said Oak Forest Mayor Hank Kuspa, a proponent of video gambling.
"I have friends who tell me Cindy's was dead during weeknights around 8 or 9 o'clock. Now you see people waiting to use the machines," Kuspa said.
Kuspa said people who formerly went to Indiana or Joliet to gamble stay in town. So does their cash. In fact, revenues slid 9 percent for Northwest Indiana's five casinos in February, according to the Indiana Gaming Commission.
February numbers aren't in for Illinois, but Oak Forest got $6,778 from video gambling at six establishments in January.
"I think it's very positive for our community. It allows people to stay in town, have a sandwich, have a cocktail, do a little gambling. They can have a little entertainment right in their own back yard," Kuspa said.
Kuspa does worry that those addicted to gambling may spend money they can ill afford to lose.
"I care for those people and I pray for them. But, believe me, I have to look out for the businesses in my community. These are good, law-abiding businesses who are following the law by doing this. And it helps them," Kuspa said.
More believers?
Tinley Park Mayor Ed Zabrocki has taken notice of what's going on in neighboring Oak Forest. The Tinley Park Village Board decided to not allow video gambling because of moral issues and family values, he said. Now, Zabrocki isn't so sure about the decision, believing gambling is "more fashionable now."
"We may have to revisit this later on. Now it's not as clear-cut as it was five or 10 years ago," he said.
Asked if the village may one day reverse its decision and allow video gambling, he said, "Never say 'never.' If I told you that Tinley Park doesn't need the extra dollars, I'd be lying to you."
But like Kuspa, Zabrocki is concerned "the guy in a minimum-wage job will lose money his family needs," he said.
"It's easier for them to lose money (when gambling is allowed locally)," he said. "Instead of driving to the boats, they can drive to the local gin mill."
Folks have been spending more time and money at Burr Oak Bowl in Blue Island, manager Joe Salgado said Friday.
"We're doing pretty good. We've been able to hire an extra person to help out with bartending and food orders," he said.
The bowling alley has five gambling games in the lounge, "and they're pretty popular. Instead of leaving after bowling, instead of driving to Joliet or Indiana or Des Plaines, they stay here and play," Salgado said.
People can bet there from 8 a.m. until closing.
"I don't see a lot more new people coming in, but I do see more people sticking around. We're doing OK, but they really do well in towns like Oak Lawn, which are closer to Chicago because they don't have the games in the city," Salgado said.
Oak Lawn village manager Larry Deetjen reported no problems since gambling was implemented. Seven businesses offer it and two are on the way. The village earned $4,634 in January.
"At first, the village was not an advocate of it. We responded to local businesses. We never did it for the revenue. We didn't even plan for it in our budget. We monitor it closely from a law enforcement standpoint. Quite frankly, I think gaming was going on before the law was passed," he said.
That would be the illegal, under-the-table variety, the kind which paid no taxes. Now, though, it's all on the up-and-up and governments monitor the games and get their fair share of revenue.
Deetjen pointed to The Avenue Flower Shop — which added a wine bar a few years ago and video gambling in January — as a shining example of what's possible.
"She's drawing customers from Beverly and Evergreen Park, two wonderful neighbors, as well as Oak Lawn. People feel comfortable not having to travel to the riverboats. They can stay in the neighborhood," Deetjen said.
Back at Cindy's, Ventrella said perspective is the key.
"If you don't have it, don't spend it," he said. "First, you've got to think about bread on the table. Then if you have a spare $10, you can do what you want with it."

Ashton Classic Cigars Cigar Brand Ashtrays
Ashton Classic
While there are many "entry-level" cigars whose purpose is to be a gateway to other, more expensive smokes within the same brand, smoking the simply named Ashton cigar is like getting a front row ticket at a balcony price. Created by Philadelphia tobacconist Robert Levin and produced by the Fuente Family (yes, those Fuentes), the base Ashton line offers smooth, Connecticut wrapped cigars in a plethora of sizes to please all smokers. The aged Dominican tobaccos comprising the filler and binder are of a quality found in the top-tier cigars of other brands.
The Ashton cigar is a mild to medium cigar that can and should be enjoyed by all. Paired with a malty and easy drinking Scotch Whiskey, this cigar will command an encore performance at any venue you choose. Smokers who are fans of the Montecristo White or Camacho Connecticut will find the Ashton worthy of high praise.

This was great it fit perfectly next to our stove so I could add extra storage and counter space! Fits all those big appliances and platters that wont fit into your normal cabinets! I was missing some screws from the kit and I called the number inside the box and had them 2days later! I seperated all the nuts and bolts into piles and labeled what they were for and once I started putting it together it went so smooth since I already had things divided up. Make sure you count eveything first to find out if you are missing anything before you start to put it together. I love the look and craftsmanship of the unit is great! Plus overstock shipping charges made this offer even better most stores would charge atleast $60 for shipping!
it was a bit of a struggle to put it together, but completely worth it. it is a beautiful solid wood island. it fit with our kitchen perfectly. the castors roll nicely, it is very functional. the price was exceptional. it was delivered very fast too.
Purchased this island/cart for kitchen. All pieces/parts were included, all in excellent condition. We may have spent more than we wanted, but the hardwood of this cart was worth it. It's extremely solid, the castors/wheels are solid and it looks great. Took my husband about 3 hours to assemble with minimal assistance from me. Only thing I didn't like was instructions say to oil the wood once/week for 3 weeks, then once/month for 3 months, then as needed. Not a problem except no oil was included with the cart, that would have been nice. So after shopping locally with no luck, I had to order butcher block oil on-line. Other than that, a great island/cart for the price, we're very happy.
This has been a real **** to put together. Nothing is marked, and the instructions are extremely limited. On top of which, the description on-line says NOTHING about "assembly required". For the price paid it should have come assembled.
We're very pleased with this purchase. My husband assembled it one day while I was at work, so I can't comment on ease of assembly other than to say that the screws were very tight. My husband took the manufacturer's advice and dipped the screws in a little vegetable oil, which helped a lot. The manufacturer dips all the wood in oil before shipping, but we gave it a couple more coats, especially on the top. It looks great. We're very pleased with how it looks and how sturdy it is. The sides and back are laminated, but they look very nice after assembly. I discovered after visiting the manufacturer's website that this product is made in America with American wood and the company is fairly "green," so overall we feel very good about this purchase.
I purchased this for my doughter-in-law who has very limited cabinets and countertops. It is spacious enough to store all her baking equipment and spices. The shelves on the side do not have a rail so we purchased dowels and glues them across the shelf so spices won't fall off. The top is spacious enough for baking. Being on wheels is great to push it right to the pantry for supplies or to the oven. This is a perfect storage island.
This Island is beyond my expectations, and when I found out that it was manufactured in the Catskills, (NY) ( I am from Central NY), and the manufacture also has a supportive, informative website, I was very pleased. It was not very difficult to assemble and was able to put to use quickly. I did follow the manufactures reccomendations and oiled the product once a week for 3 weeks, though I am not actually cutting on the surface of the island, you can. (mineral oil from the drug store is fine). I would definitely buy from this company again.
I read reviews on this island before I purchased it so knew it did not come assembled. My mother recently moved into an assisted living apartment which has a refrigerator but no other appliance or kitchen sink since meals are served in the community dining room. But she needed something to hold her microwave and a few kitchen supplies for snacks and this works perfectly. It took a long time to assemble but I carefully read the directions and did it myself and it came together exactly as it should have. They provide instructions for oiling the wood parts.
This is a really nice piece. I've converted my kitchen entirely to a work (cooking) area, and this replaced the kitchen table. I put 24 inch stools on each side so folks can sit and talk to me while I cook. It's not really treated, so I beeswaxed the top, and mineral oiled the rest of it three or four times. My only problem is that the write-up and the person I called to confirm said that the piece is assembled, and it is NOT. I cost me $100 to get it assembled by a guy who assembles all my furniture, and it took him two hours. Imagine how long it would take me!! So,, Overstock, not a great value, but an average value, once all was said and done.
I am glad that my brother-in-law is a master woodworker & carpenter! This island hutch was VERY complicated to assemble. I would also recommend that any purchasers also invest in plenty of "Howard" mineral oil and restorer! I put 10 coats on mine, letting each one soak in over night. This was applied to the entire island, not just the top. It is now a beautiful piece of furniture.

Best Uses
I have the tree up all year around in the living area. I put my decorative cat ornaments on it. It displays those ornaments in a most attractive way.

Prelit Noble Fir 4.5
By Gilles
from Canada
Super look and so easy to install, even a child could do it
Very nice little Christmas tree
By dgray
from Houston, TX
The best thing about this tree is that the lights are balanced from top to bottom. I've had others that have most of the lights at the bottom, but this one is very nice and the multi-colored lights are just beautiful. I hope the plastic odor disappears before I get it out for Christmas.
