One of my "foodie dislikes" is under-done hard boiled eggs - where the yolk is still runny. Ughhh! I need nice, firm, hard egg yolks to really enjoy it - and I do love hard boiled eggs. So when I was sent a sample of Eggology Hardboiled Eggs, I was ready to try it because all the work has basically been done for us - and we are guaranteed firmness. Each small box comes with 2 eggs (which must be kept refrigerated below 40F).
As you can see from the picture, when the eggs are cut open, they look exactly like what you would expect, with a deep yellow, smooth, firm yolk in the center and a firm egg white outer layer. I microwaved them for about 45 seconds to warm them up, added a little salt (which is included in the Eggology pack along with black pepper), and they were ready for the tasting. I was pleased with the soft but firm texture, and the only thing I can really say is that the yolk was very smooth - smoother and softer than when I make hard boiled eggs - but I usually boil my eggs for a really long time to ensure that the yolks are done.
The major concern with eggs is the amount of cholesterol. Just 1 of the Eggology Hard Boiled Eggs (40 grams), has 63% of the daily value for cholesterol - and each pack comes with 2 eggs. Other than that, the nutrition facts are stellar. Only 70 calories, 4 grams of total fat, no saturated or trans fat, 5% of the RDA for sodium, and 6 grams of protein per egg. The ingredients are simply eggs, water, citric acid and sea salt.
I received a sample pack from Eggology, so I'm not about the retail price. Admittedly, it may seem a bit silly to some to buy pre-packaged hard boiled eggs, but I can think of a few occasions where the portability and time-saving would be well worth it.

(CNN) — Sen. Rand Paul cut another six-figure check to the United States Treasury Wednesday, taking the money he said he didn't need from his office's budget to make a tiny dent in the nation's massive federal debt.
"We watch every purchase," Paul, a Republican from Kentucky, said at an event next to an oversized check for $600,000. "We watch what computers we buy, what paper we buy, the ink cartridges. We treat the money like it's our money, or your money, and we look at every expenditure."
The $600,000 reflects more than 20% of Paul's annual office budget, according to a press release.
Last year Paul returned $500,000 to the Treasury, and said he hoped other members of Congress would follow his cost-cutting lead. In total, Paul's office says they've returned $1.1 million that was unspent from his office's operating budget.
Last week Paul delivered a tea party-sponsored response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address. He also said on Sunday that he would decide next year on whether he'll run for president in 2016.
Paul, who was elected to the Senate in 2010 with strong tea party support, has already taken steps that signal a presidential bid may be in the cards. He visited Israel in January, agreed to speak at the high-profile Conservative Political Action Conference next month, and even took shots at another potential Republican White House hopeful, Gov. Chris Christie.
Paul's father, former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, ran three times for the White House.

Courtesy Okray Family FarmsPotato packing lines across Wisconsin such as this one at Okray Family Farms, Plover, Wis., are rolling as growers move toward full-on harvest mode. Some media reports about late blight have exaggerated the situation, which growers and scientists say will not impact volumes or quality this season.Although late blight has been confirmed in 12% of Wisconsin's counties, growers took aggressive action to control the disease and are predicting full yields and high quality potatoes of all varieties this season.
"What I really dig about commercial growers in Wisconsin is how proactive they are in situations such as this," said Dick Okray, secretary-treasurer of Okray Family Farms, Plover, Wis.
"They are out there in the fields with their boots on the ground and their eyes on the plants and when they see something, they take action."
Duane Maatz, president of the Wisconsin Potato Growers Association in Antigo, agreed.
"The growers are very diligent about fungicides," Maatz said. "I'm not aware of any issues with the blight. Our research team is way ahead of the curve and keeps our growers up to speed so they know when to take action."
One of the researchers who works closely with growers on control of late blight in both potatoes and tomatoes is assistant professor Amanda Gevens, a plant pathologist with the University of Wisconsin's Extension Service. She was in the field Aug. 20 checking the blight situation.
Secretary-treasurer of Okray Family Farms, Plover Wis., Dick Okray, left, and Duane Maatz, president of the Wisconsin Potato Growers Association, both said neither volumes nor quality of the state's fresh potato crop will be hurt by small, isolated outbreaks of late blight."We began seeing some in July in potatoes," Gevens said. "But the growers have managed it well. It's not uncommon for us to have it in this many counties in recent years. The growers are on the ball. It's expensive to apply fungicides, but they know the devastating potential of the disease."
Late blight, which caused the Irish potato famine in the 1850s, had been confirmed in nine of Wisconsin's 72 counties as of Aug. 20. Gevens said the forecasting tool on the university extension website helped growers stay ahead of the disease this year.
Maatz said Wisconsin growers started harvesting potatoes a few weeks ago. He anticipates harvest to be in full swing the second week of September. He said yields should be typical, with the blight not expected to result in any crop losses.
Okray said he expects yields to be "close to the trend line" and quality to be very high.
"This year is one of the best I've ever seen," Okray said of the quality of the Wisconsin spuds. "I attribute it to the cooler summer and the slow snow melt that recharged our aquifer. Then we got a lot of rain and didn't have to put a lot of water on these potatoes."
Russell Wysocki, president and chief executive officer of RPE Inc., Bancroft, Wis., also said Mother Nature had been particularly cooperative this year.

Paris Hotels
Perfect Paris
The City of Lights, the City of Love, the city of Inspector Clouseau… Paris is so picture-postcard magnificent with its wide boulevards, grand buildings and effortless elegance that, like Peter Sellers' bumbling Clouseau, there is something almost ridiculous about it. ... Read more »
Fortunately, its residents bring you down to earth. Parisians are arrogant. Sure, the people most tourists come in contact with in Paris – hotel staff, shopkeepers, taxi drivers, even the touts flogging overpriced, cheaply made tat outside the likes of the Palace of Versailles – are friendly enough. But the other 8 million or so Paris residents will openly look down their noses at you, honk their horns as you try to navigate your hire car around the world's scariest roundabout (aka Place d'Etoile, where the Arc de Triomphe stands) and generally dismiss you with a magnificently Gallic 'pah!'
And there has to be something good about a city whose residents are so contemptuous of the people who visit it. So instead of being put out by it, see it as a sign that you are in a city so great its people don't even feel the need to entice you to take a boat ride along the Seine (for the ghoulish, the Bateaux Mouchesleave from Pont d'Alma, at the entrance to the tunnel where Princess Diana died). Or wander with the students around the stalls and wonderful old bookshops in Paris' Latin Quarter. Or climb the hill to the still-bohemian Montmartre and the neighbouring red-light district of the Pigalle, where bars that double as brothels mingle with iconic establishment like Moulin Rouge.
Paris is so wonderful its inhabitants don't want you to know. That's some recommendation.
Paris: Best Public Square
Splendid and refined. Lively and sedate. Paris' Place Des Vosges is the leading European prototype of a royal residential square. Built in 1606 by Henri IV and housing the likes of writer Victor Hugo and post impressionist painter Georges Dufrénoy, it sits across the border of the 3rd and 4th arrondissements, right in the Marais district. Part 17th century royal throwback, part meeting spot for Parisian fey, cashed-up youth, Place Des Vosges is wonderfully egalitarian while cunningly managing to keep the hoi polloi away.
Urban and symmetrical planning at its best, Place Des Vosges features a mélange of private residences, boutique hotels, cafes, restaurants, galleries and a posh tea providore. The square, oddly enough, is divided into grassy quadrants bordered by gravel paths and peppered with a fountain and strategically placed topiary. Summer days here are buzzing – but not groaning – with picnicking families, spontaneous croquet games and the odd busker of relative repute.

Paris Local
1st ArrondissementParis is divided into 20 districts called arrondissements that are numbered from 1 to 20 and spiral around from the centre of the city. You can start at the 1st district and then work your way out from there. The 1st district is home to the Louvre, Palais Royal, and the Tuileries Gardens, where you can chill out in the cafes or scoff down some ice cream.
3rd and 4th ArrondissementsThese two districts are the oldest in Paris. Centred on the two islands in the Seine, the Île de la Cité and Île Saint-Louis and linked to the rest of the city by the 500-year-old Pont Neuf, it's home to some of Paris' most iconic buildings (and, in the case of the Bastille, former buildings), including Notre Dame Cathedral and the Pompidou Centre. Check out the stalls along both banks of the river (and the city beach created in the summer), the flea markets and the wonderful bars, shops and restaurants.
5th and 6th ArrondissementsLike a small village, the Latin Quarter houses numerous schools and universities, the Jardin des Plantes (the botanical gardens), Arenes de Lutece (an ancient Roman theatre which held 15,000 spectators), and the Grande Mosquee de Paris (Grand Mosque of Paris). With so many students around, it's no surprise that this is the place to go for some of the best times in Paris. After dark, the bars come to life, the food is cheap but tasty, the absinthe runs freely…
7th ArrondissementThe grand heart of Paris with Place de la Concorde at its centre. It was there King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette had their heads cut off. On the south of square is the magnificent Hotel des Invalides, once a military hospital, now Napolean Bonaparte's resting place; to the north is the church of the Madeleine; and running away to the west is the Champs-Elysees,where fashion tragics the world over come to worship and normal people come to vomit.
Paris EatsStop press: French people eat snails and frog legs. It's true – and you can try them in Paris – but French cuisine is about so much more than clichés.
Le Meurice Splurge at this high-class gourmet French restaurant. It's the best of the best! |
L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon See dishes being prepared at the open kitchen of this trendy restaurant, and then choose accordingly. |
Yam'tcha The name of this restaurant translates to 'drink tea', which is what you'll get to drink with the food. It's always over-booked! |
Frenchie Fine bistro cuisine prepared by Gregory Marchand, who has worked with the likes of Jamie Oliver. |
Le Dauphin Opened in 2010, this tapas bar has an innovative and delicious menu with a great wine selection |
Sola Intermingling French and Japanese cuisine, there are two degustation menus on offer. |
L'Escargot Montorgueil Snails! Be brave... try them. If you can eat prawns, you can eat these! |
Le Bristol Found at the luxurious Le Bristol Hotel, this gastronomic restaurant has earned its 3 Michelin Stars. Showoffs. |
Au Petit Sud Ouest This boutique South Western French restaurant is idealfor foie gras and duck lovers. Recently voted the second-best restaurant in Paris. |
Le Jules Verne Located in the Eiffel Tower. If you can afford it, go for the views alone (although it'd be rude not to eat something |
Au Jardin Gourmet French cuisine with a capital G. |
L'Espadon at the five-star Ritz Paris offers French fine dining in a super-luxurious dining room. Celeb spotting is a favourite pastime of people waiting for their dishes. |
Paris Events
Paris has a large Chinese population, so Le Nouvel An Chinois (Chinese New Year) is celebrated around February. Join in the celebrations and watch the parades around the 3rd and 4th arrondissements and Chinatown.
In March, Spring Fashion Week offers designers the opportunity to showcase women's prêt-a-porter collections for winter. Avoid at all costs if you can't stand pretentious, self-important showoffs.
The French Tennis Open, the world's premiere clay-court event, starts at the end of May.
In June, the Fete de la Musique takes music to new levels.
No-one quite knows why, but the French love bike racing. Could be something to do with the tight bike shorts. Could be because it's fun sitting out in the sun with a bottle of red in one hand, a baguette in the other and some seriously smelly cheese balanced on your knees. Regardless, the Tour de France ends under the Arc de Triomphe in July after 3500 grueling kilometers (that's 2175 equally grueling miles). Be among the thousands lining the streets to see who is the ultimate winner of the yellow jersey, then wonder which drugs he's on.
Bastille Day on 14 July celebrates the beginning of the French Revolution. Party the day and night away on France's most important holiday. Fireworks are everywhere, so you may as well join in the fun as you won't get much sleep.
In mid-September, hip (and hop) youngsters take to the streets for the Techno Parade.
Fashion Week returns in October, to flaunt collections for the following summer.
The third Thursday in November is Le Beaujolais Nouveau, marking the beginning of the Christmas season. Christmas lights illuminate the Champs-Elysees, and even the French President turns out to party.
Fireworks light up the Eiffel Tower on New Year's Eve. Hundreds of thousands pack the streets. Can be fun, can be cramped and a little crazy.
When To Go
- Paris is best visited in the summer, when the weather is at its best and the Seine sparkles like a diamond necklace.
- In Spring (March to June), Paris starts to thaw from its dreary winter conditions, with daytime temperatures averaging a pleasant 20°C (68°F)
- Summer is between June and September. Expect temperatures of about 24°C (75°F) in the day.
- Autumn (September to December) is still pleasant. Daytime temperatures hover around 21°C (70°F)
- Winter (December to March) is bleak and occasionally snowy. Daytime temps are a decidedly chilly 7°C (45°F)
Getting There & Around
It's safe to say that all international flights will somehow lead to Paris (even if it's with a stopover in Frankfurt or some obscure city in Asia or Europe), especially since Paris has three international airports. Of course, if you're already in Europe you can take the train (the Gare du Nord is the station for the Eurostar train to London via the Channel Tunnel, with a convenient stop at Disneyland Paris on the way!) or even drive. But, Paris traffic is notoriously bad. The peripherique(the motorway that circles the city) is more like a car park and in the city drivers don't make allowances for out-of-towners (or road rules, for that matter).
Getting around Paris is confusing, but only because there are so many means of transportation available. Take a taxi (but only hail one at an official taxi station), dabble in the complex bus network, rent a bicycle or a pair of skates, take a river shuttle, or the underground train (Metro) with tickets from €1.70, rent a car, or walk!
What To Miss
Illegal cabs. Make sure you're taking the official taxis at taxi stations.
Watch out for pickpockets in crowded tourist-ridden areas.
The bars around Moulin Rouge – you could potentially pay up to €300 for a single drink at an adult show, so always check drink prices first.

Transportation in Athens
Athens' white-and-blue buses are cheap, frequent, and cover an extensive network, but they are also crowded, which is why many people opt for a taxi instead. The yellow trolley buses link all the main points such as Syntagma and Omonia.
You'll need patience to face erratic driving and honking horns as you navigate your way through Athens' tangle of one-way streets. The city has attempted to ease congestion with colour-coded parking. Visitors can park for a maximum of three hours in the areas marked with white lines for €6.
Athens' yellow taxis are among the cheapest in Europe, and their drivers among the most erratic. If you hail one from the street, it is not unusual to share the ride (but not the cost) with other passengers.
The metro provides the quickest way to reach the outlying suburbs – the port at Piraeus to the south, smart Kifissia to the north, and the airport to the east. There are just three lines, and the stations are clean and modern thanks to the 2004 Olympics renovation work.
Walking is often the quickest way to get about in the city centre, as well as being a great way to discover the unexpected. Start from the Acropolis metro station and wander along the 4km (2.5-mile) tree-lined, pedestrianised Archaeological Promenade. It links all the city's main archaeological sites.
Transportation tips
A Day Ticket covers one trip to or from Athens airport and gives unlimited travel on public transport (bus, trolleybus, tram and metro) in the city centre for 24 hours after validation.

Parent Category: Things To Know
1. President Grover Cleveland declared Labor Day to be the first Monday of September. Labor Day was first observed on September 5th, 1882. The very first Labor Day was celebrated on a Tuesday and was later moved to Monday. President Cleveland was in fact a staunch opponent of organized labor groups. Nevertheless, he pushed Labor Day through Congress in lightning speed in order to stop riots that were breaking out across the United States because of the poor conditions and extremely long work days that American workers had to deal with.2. Labor Day is celebrated in Canada as well as the United States. Oregon was the first state to declare Labor Day as law.3. There are two different beliefs concerning who founded Labor Day: Some state Peter McGuire, the general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, while others contend that it was in fact Matthew McGuire, a machinist, who founded Labor Day in the United States.4. The first Labor Day was celebrated in New York City. 10,000 workers took an unpaid holiday to march in the first Labor Day parade.5. The American Federation of Labor declared in 1909 that the Sunday before Labor Day would be Labor Sunday on which the spiritual and educational ideas of the labor movement would be emphasized.6. Labor Day was founded when many in America worked 16 hour days in harsh work environments. It was considered a day to recognize the challenges and the rights of workers.7. The first Labor Day was really a rally for the adoption of eight hour work days and other more suitable working conditions.8. Many other countries celebrate May Day a holiday very similar to our Labor Day, dedicated to workers' rights.9. A union known as the Knights of Labor were responsible for organizing the first Labor Day demonstration.10. Detroit was the biggest player in the early days of the labor movement. Workers demanded that their days be shortened to 10 hours and their pay be raised to 2 dollars an hour, which was considered a steep wage in that day.

Africa | In Liberia's hidden places, amputee players wait for empowerment (w/ podcast)
Monrovia, Liberia, Apr 6 | Football has its hidden stories, but even when these stories are reported some aspects still remain hidden.
Such is the case with amputee footballers of Liberia, who on Apr 6 defeated neighbor Sierra Leone to earn the championship of the second All Africa Amputee Cup of Nations. In the final at Antoinette Tubman Stadium—the facility named for the spouse of former president William Tubman—Junior Kulee scored Liberia's lone goal. With 14-minute podcast.

National Library Week was begun in 1958 by the American Library Association and is observed each April.
Libraries today are more than repositories for books and other resources.
Often the hearts of communities, libraries are deeply committed to the places where their patrons live, work and study.
Libraries are trusted places where everyone in the community can gather to reconnect and reengage with each other to enrich and shape the community and address local issues.
Librarians work with elected officials, small business owners, students and the public at large to discover what their community's needs are and meet them.
Whether through offering e-books and technology classes, materials for English language learners, programs for job seekers or those to support early literacy, librarians listen to the community they serve and they respond.
The Sunflower County Library System serves the citizens of the county by providing both print and digital information that is affordable, available and accessible to all people.
"We provide cultural heritage and genealogical collections, materials in print and electronic formats, job seeking resources and many other creative and resourceful programs, "said Mary Ann Stone, director of the Sunflower County Library System.
"We have historically served as our nation's great equalizers of knowledge. One of our strengths has always been the diversity of our collection and commitment to serving all people.
"Service to the community is our focus of the library and our mission is to provide the resources to meet the community's informational needs."
During National Library Week, the library will provide digital literacy classes, titled "I have an iPad or Iphone, now what?"

There were a lot of folks here stupidly defending this guy before. (And yes, it was stupid to defend him even before this new info). I'd love what they have to say for themselves now.

The word dinosaur means terrifying lizard… the name was invented by Sir Richard Owen in 1842.4. The oldest known dinosaur is Eoraptor, a meat-eater that lived 228 million years ago.5. Most dinosaurs hatch from eggs, and they could not fly or live in water.6. Dinosaurs are classified as reptiles… they are divided into two groups based on the structure of the hip… one group has lizard-like hips and the other group has bird-like hips.7. Most paleontologists, scientists that study dinosaurs, believe that birds are the only surviving dinosaurs… so dinosaurs aren't really extinct because their descendents are still living.8. The biggest dinosaurs were over 100 feet long and 50 feet tall… the sauropod was the largest dinosaur… the smallest dinosaurs were the size of a chicken and were called mussaurus, or mouse lizard.9. Some dinosaurs were carnivores, meat-eaters, and some were herbivores, plant eaters…some walked on two legs, while others walked on all four legs… some had horns and spikes, others had thick bumpy skin, and some even had feathers… the color of all dinosaurs is unknown because no one was alive at that time in history.10.

Pro Wrestling: CHIKARA returns to Chicago

◆ 7:30 p.m.

Updated: December 10, 2012 6:10AM
When it comes to colorful characters, comedic fun and crazy skills, CHIKARA fits the bill.
The Philadelphia-based pro wrestling promotion will be back in Chicago Nov. 10 for Zelda the Great at the Logan Square Auditorium.
The show will include Da Soul Touchaz ("Mr. M80" Marshe Rockett, of Park Forest; "Hot Chocolate" Acid Jaz and "The Urban American Dream" Willie "Da Bomb" Richardson) squaring off against the Batiri (Kobald, Kodama and Obariyon) for the first time.
"From what I've heard, the Batiri is quite the force to be reckoned with on the East Coast," Rockett said.
"We're going to see if they can handle Da Soul Touchaz. It's going to be very interesting to say the least."
Also, CHIKARA co-founder Mike Quackenbush will face Deerfield native Colt Cabana, who now lives in Chicago's Wicker Park community.
"CHIKARA is one of the best wrestling promotions in the world. They don't come to Chicago that often so it's a fun, rare treat when then do," Cabana said.
"Mike and I represent a rarity in the world of wrestling in which we both love the idea of great scientific hold-for-hold wrestling and the acknowledgment of having a fun time while in the ring. Those two elements always make for a fun, entertaining and memorable match."
Rockett, who is a teacher's assistant in special education at Richards High School in Oak Lawn, said it's rewarding when Da Soul Touchaz get the call to be part of a CHIKARA card.
"A lot of times they try to book us on their East Coast shows, but obviously booking schedules and work schedules (mean it) can't always happen," he said.
"It's nice to know that when they do come to town, Da Soul Touchaz are always the first ones they give a ring to be part of a huge opportunity for Chicago. It's a great opportunity all the way around.
"Each one of us feels very confident and very fortunate that we do get a call."
As followers of the local scene know, Rockett is no stranger to wrestling.
He's been Chicago Style Wrestling heavyweight champion since January and champion of Wisconsin-based Stars & Stripes Wrestling since June.
Rockett also regularly wrestles for Resistance Pro, DREAMWAVE Wrestling and Gladiadores Aztecas y Lucha Libre Internacional.
The latter promotion also features Acid Jaz as the longtime GALLI champion and Rockett and Richardson as the new GALLI tag-team champions.
Rockett had nothing but high praise for the promotion he'll be wrestling for on Nov. 10.
"CHIKARA is one of those premier wrestling organizations that until you see it live you just don't know," he said.
"But when you see it live you're just blown away. You have to go and buy another ticket because you want to see it again and again.
"CHIKARA is onto something big. They're the type of company where you don't want to miss that.
"The last time they were in Chicago, they blew the roof off the place from the bottom of the card to the top of the card. It was just explosive. The crowd loved it.
"Come this Saturday, they'll be in for a treat. Even if I wasn't wrestling on the show, I would go because I wouldn't want to miss it for the world."

Yesterday, I spent about 10 minutes making this free-form cherry pie. The cherries are jarred Morellos from Trader Joe's but the homemade crust is Martha Stewart's pate brisee, which had been sitting in the freezer and which, in my opinion elevates just about anything it wraps itself around to levels of unparalleled pastry brilliance. For the past few weeks every time I opened the freezer and saw the uncooked ball of pie dough waiting for me, the same happy thought popped into my head: Money in the Bank.
It was the same way I felt eight years ago when I returned to my full-time job after maternity leave. My self-worth could be directly correlated to how many ounces of breastmilk I could pump and squirrel away on any given day. Andy used to catch me in the kitchen staring at the neat little row of Medela bags along the freezer door. "Are you counting your bags of breastmilk again?" he'd ask.
In other words, no matter what phase of motherhood I've found myself in, I've always known the value of a well-stocked freezer. (Note to breastfeeding moms: I know it's hard to fathom how you will ever get from Medela Mom to impromptu-free-form-pie Mom, but you will…trust me.) The cherry pie, of course was just a nice little weekend luxury, but that dough, which could also be used for chicken pot pie or a quick vegetable tart represents dinner-table security — as does its other ziploc'd freezer friends: homemade marinara, chicken stock, and a Jim Lahey pizza crust that has become my go-to for family entertaining. This weekend, while your kids are watching an episode of The Penguins of Madagascar, take a few minutes to make a deposit in the bank. Your next week's self will thank you.

"There's a life rhythm within Cable," David Yurman says about the unifying element that runs through everything he creates. "Any place we use it, it's about bringing a certain life to the form." It started with the celebrated bracelet, and found its way into earrings, necklaces, and more. Sometimes, you'll find Cable in surprising places—the inside of a ring, the back of a pendant—where only you can see it.
David Yurman's love of horses inspired him to create a collection based on the buckle motif. When kissed with gold or pavé diamonds and paired with his signature Cable design, the functional form becomes a wearable work of art.

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

Find out what members of a panel of fundraising experts suggest to help your church escape a money crunch.
If your church is in the midst of a money crunch, don't panic. These 13 suggestions could help bring you out of it.
If you sometimes wait until the end of the year to bring a major tithe into the storehouse, here's why you shouldn't feel guilty.
Just because your church has limited financial resources doesn't mean your ministry can't be effective.
Rick Warren says he's against fundraising but in favor of teaching people to give. Here are some ways they're motivated to do so.
Every once in a while, someone comes up with a new wrinkle on church headaches.
A young pastor friend wrote to say the church he now serves went through a split a year or so before he arrived, and the smaller congregation struggles to keep up with the financial needs. Presently, they are running a deficit of perhaps $10,000 a year, forcing them to draw on reserves.
The church has a number of fixed expenses, he says, such as utilities and insurance that cannot be cut. Even if they eliminated all literature and supplies, the deficit would still not be covered. His suggestion is that they cut his salary by $10,000 a year. The leadership refuses.
