Any articles in papers like the Post? Absolutely. Once again I have to remind you guys that there are lots of very unsophisticated people reading this paper. It's a national news publication with a finance section. This paper is intended for general population consumption. It's not an investment newsletter where a level of knowledge can be assumed. Working schlubs on an assembly line, office clerks as well as Doctors and other professionals read this paper. And a lot of them don't know their ACB from a whole in the ground. So when they are encouraged to sell a seemingly losing investment they are very unlikely to be able to accurately calculate exactly how their investments have actually done and what their realized capital loss will be. What's basic knowledge to you guys, like adding commissions to the cost and keeping track of dividends, generates a blank stare when you tell most of these people. Knowing that the tax credit has to be deducted from the original purchase price on a LSIF? I'd estimate one in a thousand buyers know that. Only two people here said they knew and I seriously doubt the author did. So ya, I think it's important to ensure that readers know how to calculate ACB when a journalist recommends a sell. A potential capital loss is likely a major factor when someone decides to unload an investment. Blowing it by 30% is hugely significant to the decision as well as a big deal when CRA rolls back the capital loss that was supposed to offset a capital gain.

No problem. I understand. I do it too sometimes.
Norbert Schlenker wrote:It's gossip.
And that makes it OK? Can I get equal time and get some gossip about the author published here? I doubt it. More proof that there's a double standard.
Norbert Schlenker wrote:Send him an invitation. You have his email address. If he won't, then I'm happy to discuss it even though I don't have the advantage of having seen the original piece.
He's never accepted challenges before so I doubt he would now. And anything short of a face to face and it would be a sham. Nope, just him. And it would have to be him, without any feed from his buddies. Besides, the ACB thing was the major one. Other than that there's the "gossip" as you so innocently characterize it, the absence of a ROR chart based on net cost and his lack of explanation regarding the reasons for the high MERs. I also don't have much respect for his vacillation regarding the merits of the asset class - "I doubt I'll be buying any more labour funds", "which is why I didn't dump all my LSIF holdings".

ISNA Convention Chicago
July 7, 2011 by TMO
Top Moments From 48th Annual ISNA Convention
ISNA Press Release
The 48th annual ISNA convention has come and gone, and thousands of attendees from across North America were able to learn, laugh and reflect. From July 1-4 in Chicago, convention-goers learned from some of the most influential Muslim icons in the West, on topics ranging from social pluralism to racism and classism to Islamophobia, and more.
Whether attendees were taking part in the ISNA, MSA, or MYNA programs, sessions followed the main convention theme: "Loving God, Loving Neighbor, Living in Harmony," in an effort to illustrate how the merits of integration and social harmony in America are in line with Islamic spirituality and inspire community members to respond proactively to discrimination with patience and initiatives to promote tolerance.
The four-day convention-the largest Muslim convention in North America-had many great moments, lessons and events. Too many to count, in fact. But here are the Top 11 highlights of the 48th ISNA convention:
1. Hathout, Mattson, Esposito and Shakir on Social Harmony.
At the Friday night main session, "Islam, Pluralism, and Social Harmony," speakers Maher Hathout, former ISNA president Ingrid Mattson, John Esposito and Imam Zaid Shakir addressed the importance of a peaceful, pluralistic society, and the social movement needed today. Their reflections on the topic set the tone for the rest of the weekend, illustrating the main theme of social harmony.
Mattson urged others to have a positive attitude toward religious diversity.
"Allah [swt] in the Quran tells us that it is His will that there should be religious diversity in the world," Mattson said. "This is Allah's choice. … He could have chosen it to be a different kind of world."
Imam Zaid Shakir said he believed what is needed now is a social movement within the Muslim community.
"Our community has proven that we can live with other people," Shakir said. "Our challenge [now] is to build a social movement to enhance values in our own community and then just share those values with others. Our movement should be of grace and rehabilitation to show that we have something to offer this country."
2. Tackling the "difficult" topics head on.
There are those topics that, perhaps in our local masjid community, are often shied away from, brushed under the rug, or aren't given the proper attention or depth of discussion needed. The majority of the sessions this weekend were chosen by ISNA members, so many were not the run-of-the-mill topics, but were instead those that are often "uncomfortable" but extremely necessary today to bring to the forefront.
Convention-goers attended sessions from topics ranging from substance abuse and addiction to Muslim women in the military, to how to respond to Islamophobia and anti-Sharia sentiment, to the need for many of our mosques to be more inclusive.
3. All the Muslims.
Let's face it: ISNA is the largest Muslim convention of its kind in all of North America. And seeing thousands upon thousands of Muslims from all over the country flock to one place in an effort to learn more about their faith, network, reflect, and learn how to be a more active citizen or a better Muslim, is awe-inspiring.
"As a first time ISNA-er, the number of Muslims from all over for one weekend is what is amazing to me," Zaynah Qutubuddin said.
Another perk to being the biggest Muslim convention? ISNA-goers are able to see old friends.
"Probably one of the best things about my weekend was seeing the faces of people I haven't seen in nine years or so," one convention-goer said.
"I got to spend time with friends from D.C., Chicago, Boston and California, all at once. I never would have been able to see them otherwise, and I look forward to seeing them at the ISNA convention every year," said Dalia Othman, of Detroit.
4. Learning more about the faith.
The contemporary sessions of the weekend were remarkable, but some convention-goers are also looking for a revitalization of their faith, to learn more about Islam and be inspired. One of the breakout lessons that left a strong impression with attendees was the MSA session, "Inner Whispers: Defeating Satan's Playbook" with speaker Wisam Sharieff, who addressed ways to fight temptation and strengthen one's bond with God instead.
"One thing he said that just completely opened my eyes was how we should start any form of speaking with either alhamdallah, subhanallah, or la illaha ila Allah," said Khalid AbdelJalil, of Villa Park, Ill. "[Sharieff] said by starting with that, it could stop us from things like getting into arguments or gossiping. It was tips like that that I think are going to make a big difference in my day-to-day."
For some, sessions like this were a reminder of the importance of spiritual learning, and how the convention is a chance to learn as much as possible in a short amount of time.
"It truly reminded me of why I came to ISNA and reminded me of how special I am to be a Muslim, alhamdallah," sai Lama Musa, of Chicago.
5. Entertainment Night.
Native Deen, Muslim country singer Kareem Salama, poet Mona Haydar, and musician Najam Sheraz headlined Entertainment Night on Sunday evening. The crowd got to sing along to their favorite Native Deen songs, and old and new fans of Kareem Salama's music were able to finally see the artist in a rare Chicago appearance.
"When Native Deen got on stage, I felt like I was a little kid again," said Haneen Waheed, from Indiana. "They're an exciting, thrilling, amazing and talented group, mashallah. They really got the crowd going-I had a blast."
She also caught Kareem Salama's performance for the first time. "He was like a rock star country singer!"
6. Sheriff Leroy D. Baca & Keith Ellison.
Baca's testimony at the controversial hearing led by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) was key in highlighting the baseless singling out of Muslims, and turned him into a veritable hero to the Muslim American community. His appearance at ISNA's "Loving God, Loving Neighbor, Living in Harmony: Building Bridges Through Caring" session showed attendees his support for the Muslim community, as well as other faith communities.
"We will defend all religions at all times," Baca told attendees.
Following Baca was congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), who closed the session with a rousing speech asking the Muslim Americans to be active in the arenas of social and economic justice.
"Get ready to help your country, help your country revive the economy, help your country say liberty and justice for all to include all and help your country to relate to the rest of the world," Ellison said. "All these strengths are on your table, all these things demand your attention. But I believe you can do it if you put your mind to it."
7. Islamic Film Festival.
Whether you've been dying to watch "Mooz-lum," "I am Here," or "The Deen Show," it was all available for screenings at the Islamic Film Festival that showcased some of the latest and most critically-acclaimed films by and about Muslims.
The big weekend crowd-pleaser was the documentary "Fordson," about the Fordson High football team and what happens when Muslims play football. It also helped that the "stars" of the film were there for the screening. Film creators talked about the making the film and gave the audience a "behind the scenes" look, team members took photos with fans, and the team coach threw a football around with kids at the bazaar.
"I kept fighting with myself-I couldn't decide if I wanted to go to a lecture or sneak back to the film festival and watch another movie," said Samira Mohommad, of Chicago. "'Fordson' was great, gave a really strong patriotic message, especially on fourth of July weekend!"
8. Health Fair.
At a time when more than 46 million Americans lack health insurance, the free health screenings at the convention health fair were a welcome offer, and had an almost constant stream of traffic all weekend.
Along with health screenings, testing for blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and even dental health screenings were available on site. There was also a blood drive from the Red Cross, and a bone marrow donor registration-in memory of 15-year-old Bilal Mallik, who passed away earlier this year after a brief battle with Leukemia.
"I registered to be a bone marrow donor," said Omar Yunus, of San Francisco. "Just took a swab of the inside of my cheek-the whole thing took about five minutes. This is a good thing they're doing."
9. Love for the orphans.
Dozens of people signed up to be an orphan sponsor, seeking to clothe, shelter and nourish orphans from all corners of the world through Islamic Relief's orphan sponsorship program. And when Imam Shakir, along with speakers Elena Melona and Wafa Bennani, discussed orphan adoption in Islam in the session "Each of Us is a Flower: Adoption in the Muslim Community," the room was so jam-packed that attendees were standing in any space that was available-the phrase, "this may be a safety violation" was uttered more than once-demonstrating the eagerness with which many ISNA-goers sought to learn about adoption and how they can reach out and care for orphans.
"If we don't provide nurturing environments for both our biological children and those children who are orphans, then we are going to provide a social situation that is going to provide a lot more haraam," Imam Shakir said. "There are social consequences that accrue when we don't look care for our orphans."
10. Zumba! Fitness.
This year's convention had many new and fun activities, including the return of the ever popular basketball tournament, but none more anticipated than the all-ages "Soul Improvements: Sisters Fitness Extravaganza," where attendees (sisters only!) were able to enjoy a food tasting and an exciting Zumba routine, while also learning about healthy living in Islam.
Zaynah Qutubuddin of Boston, a newcomer to the convention, said, "I absolutely loved it. It was my first time doing Zumba and I had a lot of fun. I also appreciated the tie-in to Islam and general health."
11. Bazaar, Bazaar, Bazaar.
It's always fun to see what stops vendors pull out to attract ISNA-goers. From free t-shirts and electronic tasbeeh counters to live-and oh-so-adorable-baby chicks, to a chance to win a free cruise, you can always guarantee a good time at the bazaar (and get to go home with a respectable amount of free swag!).
Many booths even featured surprise appearances; bazaar shoppers could take get their Kareem Salama CD signed by the artist himself, take a photo with the football players from the critically-acclaimed film "Fordson," talk with imams Yaser Birjas and Yasir Qadi at Al-Maghrib Institute's booth, or meet NFL players-brothers Hamza and Husain Abdullah.
"Kareem Salama signed my CD, that was a definite highlight for me," one young convention attendee said. "I love his music, so different from other Islamic music, with its own unique message."
"I got to hold a baby chick," gushed another attendee, Tamara Saleh, of Washington D.C., said. "The chicks at the Crescent Chicken booth were my favorite."

For the latest update see "CDC declares Chamberlain cantaloupe outbreak over."
Inspectors found "poor sanitary conditions" at his packing shed — and three types of salmonella on cantaloupes and equipment — but the owner of Chamberlain Farms contends there isn't any link between his fruit and an outbreak that has killed three.
"While we acknowledge that the FDA report notes certain conditions allegedly observed at Chamberlain Farms, there is nothing in the report to indicate the conditions are a source of or contributed to any reported illnesses," owner Tim Chamberlain said in a written statement issued via his attorney Oct. 4.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however, reports 270 people in 26 states have been sickened by two strains of salmonella that are "indistinguishable" from the salmonella at the farm. The illnesses began July 6.
Also, the Kentucky Department of Health confirmed the match of one strain in August on Chamberlain cantaloupe collected at retail. The CDC later matched two strains on Chamberlain cantaloupes and watermelons at the Owensville, Ind. farm to the outbreak strains.
The Food and Drug Administration released a report Oct. 3 on findings Aug. 14-31 at the farm. It details a variety of "poor sanitary conditions." It is on file in the FDA's Freedom of Information Act electronic reading room: tinyurl.com/Chamberlain-report.
The investigation is ongoing, FDA officials said Oct. 4, but agency policy bars them from discussing details.
Inspector Meisha Waters recorded numerous problems in her Aug. 14-31 report. She did the inspection while the packing shed was operating.
"I observed, standing water in the packing shed on the floor … and on the drip table … This water appeared to have algae growing in it," Waters wrote in the inspection report.
She reported that swabs of surfaces in the packing shed and on cantaloupe from the field and in a cardboard bin in the shed tested positive for three kinds of salmonella.
Waters also found multiple instances of standing water and buildups of debris and green, brown and black material on packing equipment. Rust and other dirt was found on multiple pieces of packing equipment.
The packing shed, which does not have walls on two sides, had porous food contact surfaces including wood and carpeting on the pack line, Waters reported, making it virtually impossible for the surfaces to be sanitized.
Water lines carrying well water to the pack shed were leaking and covered with rust buildup.
"This water comes into direct contact with the cantaloupe," according to the report.
The inspector reported no one was monitoring the effective levels of the chlorine sanitizer in the packing line water. Chamberlain could not provide any records regarding the water sanitizing process, according to the report.
Chamberlain said in August he began recalling his fruit Aug. 16, but officials characterized it as a "voluntary market withdrawl." The FDA did not name Chamberlain Farms as the supplier until six days later. A list of wholesalers and retailers who received the fruit has still not been released. Chamberlain said the fruit did not have lot numbers for traceability.

The Irish Taekwon-Do Association hosted an International Umpires Course in Limerick on the weekend of the 30th of June & 1st of July 2012. The event was the largest Umpires course ever run by the ITF with over 180 participants from 18 countries in attendance. With participants travelling from Argentina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, England, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Scotland, Sweden, USA and Vietnam, this was an historic IUC as it was the first time that the updated ITF rules, which will be introduced from January 2013, where presented.
The ITF delegates; Grandmaster Bos and the ITF Tournament and Umpire Committee members arrived on the Wednesday prior to the IUC for meetings to discuss the new ITF tournament rules. They had several days of meetings ahead so the local organising committee decided to make their experience as enjoyable as possible by mixing in some touristic and cultural experiences. One of the trips was to the famous Cliffs of Moher. The cliffs situated in north County Clare and soaring 702 feet above the Atlantic Ocean form some of the most spectacular landscape in Europe. On route to the cliffs the ITF delegates were treated to lunch in Vaughans restaurant in the seaside town of Lahinch. This meal was hosted by local Government officials from Shannon Development and Shannon Region Conference and Sports Bureau. The trip to the trips was enjoyed by all and the weather was perfect. On Friday evening there was a fantasic banquet in the 15th Century Bunratty Castle. This medieval banquet was a wonderful experience and was thoroughly enjoyed by all, one of the highlights of the night was when Mr Stefano Minotti was thrown in the dungeon and had to sing to be released, he did not disappoint as he brought the whole banquet to a standstill with his wonderful operatic voice.
The Umpire course began on Saturday afternoon in the large Jean Monet theatre on the University of Limerick campus. Master Kenneth Wheatley, President of the Irish Taekwon-Do Association opened the event by welcoming the attendees from around the world as well as welcoming and introducing Grandmaster Bos 9th Dan member of the ITF Technical Committee and Director of the ITF, the Tournament Committee; Master Coos van den Heuval, Master Giovanni Ceccenato, Master Harry Vones& Umpire committee; Master Alberto Katz, Master Sandy Dunbar and Mr. Kurt Ottesenand the other masters in attendance, Master Paul Weiler (Senior Vice President of the ITF), Master Tadeusz Loboda (AETF President), Master Adelbert Wagner (Germany), Master Frank Vanberghen (Belgium), Master James Tjin-A-Ton (Netherlands), Master Gordon Wallace (Scotland), Master Thomas Denis (England), Master Patrick O'Rourke (Ireland) and Master Neil Franks (Ireland).
The opening address was delivered by Mr Brendan Dowling, the President of the Irish Martial Arts Commission, the National governing body for martial arts in Ireland. Mr Dowling spoke of the importance of working in a spirit of cooperation within martial arts as well as the positive role that IMAC has played in the development of martial arts in Ireland. Mr Dowling also praised the ITA for their work in promoting Taekwon-Do and their contribution to IMAC over the past number of years and how the ITA as a government recognised body now has access to police vetting, child protection trainign an world-wode recognised coach education for all its instuctors.
Grandmaster Bos then opened the umpires' course by welcoming the attendees to the IUC and congratulating the ITA on planning such a well organised event on the impressive University of Limerick campus. Master Alberto Katz from Argentina and Mr Kurt Ottesen of Canada then proceeded to deliver a presentation on the rules of ITF Taekwon-Do competition. They explained the importance of courtesy in Taekwon-Do competition as well as competitor safety, before moving on to the more technical point of organising and running a ring council.
One of the highlights of the first day was the introduction of the new team sparring procedures. The ITF delegates explained that one of the reasons for the change was to ensure each competitor who travels to a major championship would get the chance to compete, and that the team competition would not finish after one team had won three bouts.
A barbeque was planned for that evening at the Scholars Bar on the UL campus; a large number of the IUC participants as well as the ITF delegates came to enjoy an evening of good food and traditional Irish music. It proved to be a very enjoyable night that gave everyone a chance to catch up with old friends from around the world as well as make some new ones.
The final day of the IUC began on Sunday morning at 9am in the University Arena; the ITA volunteers had worked tirelessly to set up 5 competition areas, including areas for special technique and power testing. The impressive arena looked almost ready to host a major championships and all those in attendancewereextremely impressed.The agenda for Day 2 began with Master Katz presenting the new system for umpiring patterns. This represents of the major changes to the rules with each competitor beginning with 10 points at the beginning of the match and accruing ½ point & full point deductions for any errors that occur throughout the performance, the competitor with the highest remaining score after the performance will be the winner. The participants were given an opportunity to get some practical experience judging patterns under the new rules, with volunteers acting as competitors.
After a short break, the umpire committee moved on to the updated rules for pre-arranged sparring. Master Katz explained that only 1 successful blow should be performed at the end of the routine and all other techniques should be defended against or dodged in line with the Taekwon-Do principle of 'One Blow, One victory'
Mr Kurt Ottesen was up next and presented the rules for sparring. After presenting the rules and procedures for running a sparring ring council, the ITF Delegates askedsome of the current competitors in attendance todemonstrate the level of contact which is acceptable in competition as well as what would be deemed heavy contact. Again the participants had an opportunity to get some practical experience as part of a jury council for a sparring match under the guiding eye ofMaster Sandy Dunbar, Master Vones and MrOttesen, while Master Katz displayed video clips of various interactions that could occur within a sparring match and asked the participants to decide what action should be taken in each situation. This proved a very useful method for helping the umpires to sharpen their skills and make the correct decision.
The final section of the day was comprised of the umpiring procedure for special technique and power testing. Mr Ottesen led this section and explained how these events where as important to ITF competition as sparring and patterns and that in the future we can expect to see these events taking place on the centre ring of a major championships.
The IUC closing address was given by Grandmaster Bos. GM Bos thanked the Irish Taekwon-Do Association for their warm hospitality and once again congratulated the association on running an excellent event. Grandmaster Bos said he looked forward to returningto Ireland for a future event to be held at the superb facilities of the University of Limerick campus. Master Wheatley then closed the event by thanking GM Bos and the tournament and umpire committee for a very enjoyable and informative course as well as thanking all those in attendance for making the journey to Limerick. All 180 participants then took position for a group photo and with that the IUC had come to an end.
The Irish Taekwon-Do Association would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Grandmaster Bos and the ITF Tournament and Umpire Committees for an excellent course and would like to thank all our guests from abroad for their company over the weekend and we hope to see you in Ireland again for the International Instructors Course to be held in Kerry in January 2013. Gratitude must also be expressed to the event sponsors Top Pro Sports, Acist Skillnet and Clare Spring water. Finally a big thank you must be given to the organising committee, the local committee and the volunteers who put in a huge amount of work in the months prior to the event as well as over the weekend to make the International Umpires Course such a success.

Material: Watersnake
Brand: Beirn
Origin: Imported
Beirn is a family affair. Founded in 2007 by Rita Overzat and her daughters, Ali Trier and Jenna Overzat, this New York-based luxury handbag label started off with a few snakeskin bags the trio designed for themselves after vacationing in Indonesia. Friends and strangers loved the bags, and Beirn (pronounced "burn") was born — offering the iconic Jenna hobo bag in its first collection. Today Beirn's line of handbags and accessories includes totes, envelope clutch bags, belts, shoes, wallets, and hairbands made from exotic animal skins as well as suede and batik. Sold worldwide, Beirn bags have also played a part in shaping popular culture: one even made a cameo on Carrie's arm in "Sex and the City: The Movie."

Roulette is one of the most popular and most played gambling game in any casino. Thousands of patrons are seemed to be mesmerized by the exciting sight of the clockwise-spinning red and black roulette wheel while waiting for the ball to rest at one of its pockets as it goes in counter-clockwise direction. The game's rules are not complicated, making it the game of choice for most amateur gamblers. The game's history, however, is so interesting that different versions of it are told every now and then.
Not long after the roulette gained its popularity in France, the New Orleans's French settlers bought the game to America. It was way back when cowboys and miners rules the west, that roulette became a favorite past time. Salons and gambling halls built as a result and in response to the roulette's overwhelming popularity, roulette tables with an extra pocket were built. The extra pocket is labeled with either "American Eagle" or "00". This modification to the roulette table almost doubled the house's profits.
o The rules are quite easy to understand. Basically, the player needs to guess the slot where the ball will rest after the wheel and the ball stops spinning. A roulette table can usually accommodate around eight players that can play with the respective house known as "croupier" or "dealer".
o Each of the players are given dissimilar colored chips, this allows the dealer or croupier to identify who made the winning bet and therefore, pay-off the correct player. At the end of the game, it is very important to exchange the roulette chips to cash chips. These cash chips are the chips that the player exchanges for actual cash.
o To play the game, the players must place their bet on any number inside or outside the table's lay-out. When every player participating in the roulette table places the bet, the croupier will then start to spin the roulette wheel and launch the ball. Players are still be permitted to give and change the bets until the croupier declares "no more bets". The players will then, just wait for the ball to drop on a winning slot. The croupier will then place a dolly over the number on the roulette bet table. He will then clear the loss at the table and the players will then keep placing the new bets, once the winner is paid by the dealer.
o The payout depends on how many numbers the winner bet on. A straight-up bet (1 number bet) pays 35:1; a split bet (2 number bet) pays 17:1; a street bet (3 number bet) pays 11:1; a corner bet (4 number bet) pays 8:1; a six-number bet pays out 5:1; an outside column or dozen bet pays 2:1; and an outside even money bets gives 1:1.
o Just like in any gambling game, being lucky is one of the important factors in the roulette. Predicting which slot the ball falls into is not as easy as it seems. There are many players that bets on multiple numbers in which increases their chance of winning but as it increase their winning ratio, it also decreases the payout. There are also players who bet on the numbers that frequently wins. Such numbers are called "hot numbers". There are however, methodical players who learned to use certain roulette system methods and money management.
Today, a player doesn't need to go to casinos to play roulette and other gambling games. Just like anything else, gambling is just a click away. Numerous online casinos are accessible to anyone who fancies playing roulette, poker, blackjack, slot machines and other casino games. Now, anyone can play the roulette at home, at work, anywhere.

Most of us have heard of the concept of Karma. While there is debate regarding whether karma is immediate or not, most everyone agrees that its essence is, "you reap what you sow" or "what you put out always comes back" – eventually. The nice thing about karma is that it can be either good or bad – you put out good, you get back good and vice versa.
However, "Karmageddon" is much different. It is a term coined by Kyra Kyles, founder, Kyles Files, and editor at a national magazine, and it is essentially an extinction level event that occurs when an individual has done a significant amount of 'wrong' in their personal life or career.
Kyra's first experience with Karmageddon was at work. A co-worker kept trying to get other people into trouble and revelled in their misfortunes. When Karmageddon came upon this co-worker, the person experienced something far worse than one could imagine. After witnessing Karmageddon, Kyra made it a point to hold her tongue when she wants to say something bad; she did not want to be on the receiving end of universal justice.
At this point, some of you may be nervous. Not to worry, here are some tips to increase your good karma and lessen the effect of Karmageddon – just in case:
- -Stop being negative. People will not pity you when something negative happens to you.
- -Do what's right. Your effort will always show up for you when you need it most.
- -Let it go. Stop carrying the weight of an unpleasant past on your shoulders. You will become a magnet of what you carry.
- -Make amends. While you still have to answer to what you have done, making amends can actually soften the blow.
In the end, remember this: The universe keeps score, even when you don't and regularly sends out checks and bills. At the end of the day, make sure you have more checks than bills.
So, here is myquestion: Is Karmageddon coming for you?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Abby!
Facts about Abby
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Abby's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Abby is a recent rescue off the at risk list. She is a sweet cat born around 12/9/11. She is in a foster home now and gets along fine with the other cat and doggie in the home. She is very friendly and made herself right at home very quickly!
Other Pets at Anjellicle Cats Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Abby, a New York Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in New York, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in New York.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in New York already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a New York breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in New York paves the way for another one to be saved.

Our Word was given before to Our servants, the Messengers, that they would certainly be helped. It is Our army that will be victorious. (Qur'an,37:171-173)
The Evolution Deceit
Prophet Solomon (pbuh)
Similarities Among Prophet Solomon (pbuh), Dhu'l – Qarnayn (pbuh), And The Mahdi(3)The Mahdi Will Rule the WorldProphet Solomon (pbuh) and Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh), who made Islamic morality prevail in their vast territories and had mighty armies, have much in common with the Golden Age. For example, during the Golden Age Islamic morality will prevail throughout the world, streams of people will become Muslims, godless ideologies will be wiped off the face of the Earth, and religion will be lived as it was in the time of our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace). Some hadiths describe this era, among them: The Mahdi will own the entire world. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 10) The Mahdi will invade all the places between East and West. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 56) The Mahdi's Special Knowledge and the Great Knowledge Granted to Prophet Solomon (pbuh) and Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh)We have already seen the various kinds of knowledge that God gave Prophet Solomon (pbuh): how to rule over jinns and demons, speak to birds, hear and understand ants talking among themselves, and subject the winds and copper to his command. All of these wondrous characteristics distinguished him from other people. Of Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh), the Qur'an says: "We had encompassed that he had 'knowledge comprising essence' near him [or all that he had in knowledge]" (Qur'an, 18:91). From this, we know that he was a servant to whom God granted knowledge. Like these two leaders, the Mahdi also will have special knowledge. In his Mevzuatu'l ulum (11:246), Taskopruluzade Ahmet Efendi writes that the Mahdi will possess 'ilm al-jafr (the art of divination through numbers). Another hadith reveals the following: He is called the Mahdi because he is given guidance for a situation unknown to anyone. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 77) Our Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) also says that the Mahdi, like Prophet Solomon (pbuh), will know the language of animals and have power over human beings and jinns. The Mahdi speaks the language of birds and other animals. Therefore, his justice will manifest itself over all people and jinns. (Muhammad ibn 'Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat as-Sa'ah, p. 188) Scientific and Technological DevelopmentsAs we learn from the Qur'an, Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) and Dhu'l-Qarnayn's (pbuh) times witnessed great and unusual scientific and technological advancements. The hadiths describing the Golden Age present a similar situation. The Golden Age will be a time of great scientific, technological, communication, and medical advancements. Every new development will serve humanity and make life easier in all respects. One sign of this in the hadiths is as follows: The end of humanity's whip will speak to him. (Hadith at-Tirmidhi) This hadith probably refers to the cell phone, one of the most common means of communication today. (God knows the truth.) The hadiths also mention another important technological development: People will reap 700 measures of wheat for every one they sow … People will throw down a few handfuls of seeds and reap 700 handfuls … Although much rain will fall, none will be wasted. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 43) This hadith may be speaking of modern agriculture, which is characterized by the use of machines. In former times, sowing seeds and harvesting by hand were extremely tiring and time-consuming chores. But technological advances have enabled great developments in agriculture, and modern machines have made both sowing and harvesting much easier. Improving seed stocks has increased agricultural production. As technology advances, new methods are developed to increase productivity. Many hadiths dealing with the End Times refer to that period's technological developments, one of which is mentioned specifically: high agricultural yields due to modern technology. In the Mahdi's time, many important agricultural and technological advances will make the lives of farmers much easier. Today, agricultural technology can make even desert areas green and productive. The Importance of Loving AnimalsThe Qur'an gives some information about Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) love and compassion for animals. For example, he loved horses and did not want to harm ants. In the Golden Age, love for animals will be encouraged. The hadiths reveal that there will be places in which every kind of animal can be easily watched and admired. Here are some examples: ... He will say to the sheep to go to the pasture and eat. The animals will pass through the crops, but will not eat even a single stalk of wheat. Snakes and scorpions will not hurt anyone, and wild animals will sit at our doors but not harm anyone. (Muhammad ibn 'Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat as-Sa'ah, p. 245) Snakes will get along with children, cows will get along with lions. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 64) These hadiths indicate another similarity between the time of Prophet Solomon (pbuh) and the Golden Age: humanity's dominion over animals. Just as Prophet Solomon (pbuh) established his rule over birds and other animals, in the Golden Age all animals, including beasts of prey, will be under humanity's dominion and thus rendered harmless to people. Working for Peace and Using DiplomacyProphet Solomon's (pbuh) relations with neighboring countries were tolerant, forgiving, and peaceful, for he preferred diplomacy to war and applied democratic methods. He established a superior culture and founded his rule on diplomacy, art, and culture. Even though he had invincible armies, he did not use military might. Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh), known to those around him as a man who opposed corruption and dissension, was a leader who brought peace and well-being to his people. From this point of view, their times were very similar to that of the Golden Age. In the Golden Age, people will become Muslims of their own volition, the world will be dominated by Islamic morality, and war will become unnecessary. No one will be awakened from their sleep or have a bleeding nose. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 42) The Mahdi will follow the way of the Prophet. He will not wake up a sleeping person or shed blood. (Muhammad ibn 'Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat as-Sa'ah, p. 163) The hadiths state that the Mahdi will make Islamic morality prevail all over the world by peaceful means through a great cultural initiative. At that time, God willing, the following verses will be fulfilled: When God's help and victory have arrived, and you have seen people entering God's religion in droves, then glorify your Lord's praise and ask His forgiveness. He is the Ever-Returning. (Qur'an, 110:1-3) Inviting People to Religious MoralityProphet Solomon's (pbuh) quick and intelligent decisions make him a good example for all believers. His letter to the Queen of Saba, inviting her and her people to true belief, shows his powers of communication. Placing great importance on quick decisions, he employed a knowledgeable person to bring him her throne. In order to stop the corruption of Gog and Magog among a people who were located far from his kingdom, Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh) quickly built a barricade strong enough to stand until the end of the world. This showed his strength and power of reason. In these respects, the Golden Age will be very similar to the times of these two noble men. In addition, people will flock to Islam, and rapid and comprehensive efforts will be made to facilitate this movement. Societies will adopt Islamic morality, godless ideologies will be quickly and permanently removed, and every kind of oppression will pass into the dark depths of history. With regard to this, the great Islamic scholar, Muhyiddin ibn al-'Arabi, wrote: God will give the Mahdi so much power that he will remove cruelty from the world overnight, religion will be established, and Islam will be revived. The Mahdi will restore lost value to it [Islam], and it will come to life after its apparent demise … Ignorant people, misers, and cowards alike will become very knowledgeable, generous, and brave … They will practice religion as in the time of Prophet Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace)… (Muhyiddin ibn al-'Arabi, Futuhat al Makkiyah, Bab 66, "Signs of the End Times," p. 186) The Importance Given to BuildingProphet Solomon (pbuh) placed great importance on public building. As we saw earlier, he used the jinns and demons under his command to construct high arches, statues, huge dishes, and vats. Everyone who saw his palace, including the Queen of Saba, was amazed. Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh) also used a very effective construction technique to build the barricade mentioned above, so that, unless God wills, it will never fall. The hadiths also allude to the great importance of construction in the Golden Age. In this period, cities will attain a high level of civilization, and their people will live in happiness and peace. One of these hadiths is as follows: The Mahdi works in the construction of Constantinople and other places. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 40) Wealth and Splendor Used to Benefit Islam and Gain God's Good ApprovalProphet Solomon (pbuh) used his wealth to proclaim God's religion and spread Islamic morality in his realm. Especially in the cities that he conquered, he invited the people to believe in God and submit to Him. His letter to the Queen of Saba is an important proof of this. And Dhu'l-Qarnayn (pbuh), who said: "The power my Lord has granted me is better than that…"(Qur'an, 18:95), was blessed by God with stable political power, which he used to rid his realm of corruption. In the Golden Age, people will enjoy great wealth, well-being, and comfort. The Mahdi will use the world's wealth to make God's religion supreme and establish peace and high moral standards throughout his realm. He will do many things that the world has never seen before, soften people's hearts toward Islamic morality, and cause it to prevail within a short time. For example: There will be a Mahdi among the people. God will send him to make people rich. People will have comfort and good fortune, animals will have plenty to eat, and the soil will bring forth plants… (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 15) Before allegiance, people will flock to it, and everyone who goes there will enjoy the divine plenty. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 25) Plenty and AbundanceWe can understand from the Qur'an that Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) time was characterized by great wealth and that the people lived comfortable lives. His palace was splendid, he had a mighty army, and he ruled a vast domain. The Golden Age's plenty and abundance will be like that in Prophet Solomon's (pbuh) time. People will be given whatever they want and however much they want; even the birds will be happy with the Mahdi's rule. Many hadiths describe in great detail this plenty, abundance, and well-being, among them those given below: A time will come when a person, withalms of gold in his hand, will go around, finding no one [in need] who is willing to receive them. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah Qurtubi) Then will my ummah be blessed, the number of animals will increase, and the land will bear its fruits. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 26) Possessions will be in abundance then, flowing like water. Yet no one will (condescend) to take any. (Mukhtasar Tazkirah Qurtubi) During this [period], my ummah [people] will lead a kind of comfortable and carefree life that they have never known before. [The land] will bring forth its yield and will not hold anything back... (Sunan Ibn Majah) The land will turn like a silver tray growing vegetation... (Sunan Ibn Majah) Justice and ToleranceProphet Solomon (pbuh) ruled in a tolerant and democratic manner. This will also be the case in the Golden Age, when Islamic morality will dominate and the world will be tolerant and at peace. People will be treated with compassion and mercy, and people of every religion will live in happiness and security. The world's wealth will be distributed equally, and poverty and need will disappear. Here are some relevant hadiths: The Mahdi will bring justice and sovereignty to a world full of cruelty and injustice. (Muhammad ibn 'Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat as-Sa'ah, p. 305) His justice will fill every place… (Ibn Hajar Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, p. 20) A man from my family [Ahl al-Bayt] appears to fill Earth with justice, just as it has been filled with corruption. So whoever reaches that [time] ought to come to them, even if crawling on the ice/snow, since among them is the vicegerent of God [khalifat Allah] al-Mahdi. (Sunan Ibn Majah) In his time, the goodness of good people will increase, and goodness will even be shown to bad people. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 17) All nations will open their gates to him ... Security and tranquility will reign over Earth. (Muhammad ibn 'Abd ar-Rasul Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li Ashrat as-Sa'ah, p. 164) A calligraphic inscription in the jali-thuluth script from 1280 AH: The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Right: An inscription in the naskhi style by Sayyid Abdullah of the first verses of Surat al-An'am. |

Second bank robber escapee arrested in Palos Hills
BY FRANK MAIN, KIM JANSSEN AND CASEY TONER Staff Reporters January 4, 2013 4:44PM
This undated photo provided by the FBI shows , Kenneth Conley one of two inmates who escaped from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown Chicago Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2012. Chicago Police Sgt. Michael Lazarro says their disappearance was discovered at about 8:45 Tuesday morning. Lazarro says the pair used a rope or bed sheets to climb from the building. (AP Photo/FBI,HONS

Just like his partner, escaped bank robber Kenneth Conley didn't venture far from home before he was caught.
Conley was nabbed with the help of a resident who punched him around 4 p.m. Friday in southwest suburban Palos Hills — less than 100 yards from where he once lived a decade ago, according to public records.
Conley also was in disguise, a tactic he may have learned from his escape accomplice, Jose Banks, dubbed the "Second Hand Bandit" for the thrift store disguises he wore during heists.
When arrested, the 38-year-old Conley allegedly was dressed as an old man, wearing sunglasses, a beret, an overcoat and even walked with a cane, according to Palos Hills Deputy Police Chief James Boie.
Two maintenance workers had alerted police that someone had been sleeping in the basement of a condo building undergoing renovation in the 10200 block of South 86th Terrace.
When two officers spotted the disguised Conley nearby and stopped him for questioning, Conley gave a phony name, then, realizing his capture was imminent, allegedly punched one of the cops to the floor and wrestled with him before running away, Boie said.
He was arrested minutes later, allegedly trying to break into a home in the 10200 block of 84th Terrace.
The 6-foot , 7-inch man who lived in the apartment, a 33-year-old high school teacher who would only identify himself as "Dan," said Conley tried to enter his condo about 3:40 p.m. The man said he lives there with his four young children and was sitting in his living room playing with his baby when Conley opened up his screen door and got halfway inside.
"I was like 'I don't think you're getting in here at all,'" the man said.
He said he hit Conley with his shoulder first and then punched him in the face, which caused Conley to stumble over onto the grass outside and into custody of the police.
"Where he met his end was here," the man said. "He didn't get permission to enter my place. He got taken out of here in a bad way."
Police found a BB gun in his pocket but he had no ID or money, Boie said.
Conley was taken to Palos Community Hospital for a checkup alongside two officers who both suffered minor injuries in the arrest.
Praising the officers for doing a great job, Boie said that deputy U.S. Marshals and the FBI had been in the area earlier this week, following up on a tip that Conley was in the area.
Conley and Banks escaped on Dec. 18 from the federal jail in downtown Chicago. Banks was caught on Dec. 20 in Lincoln Park, an area where he too once lived.
The men were the focus of a massive manhunt after they used a rope made of bedsheets to break out of their 17th-floor cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Hours after their escape, Conley and Banks briefly stopped at Conley's mother's house in south suburban Tinley Park but were sent away.
"We're glad it's over," said a relative who answered the phone at Conley's mother's Tinley Park home Friday evening.
Belkis Sandoval, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Marshals Service, said members of a joint task force were in the Palos Hills area on Friday morning searching for Conley.
Conley, a convicted bank robber, faces an escape charge, federal prosecutors said Friday. No court date has been set.
On Thursday, prosecutors said they were dropping an escape charge against Banks because he faces up to 80 years on his robbery conviction and the escape charge carries a maximum sentence of five years.
Banks also was caught thanks to a call from a tipster.

The Version that Played in Theaters
This is the version of the movie that played in the movie theaters. The 'Director's Cut' version that was released to home video removed the Black Face Musical scene and replaced it with footage of a vintage stripper from that era.
I don't care for Black Face shows but I also do not like seeing movies that had been re edited.
I_h8_screen_names -
Pathetic... even by Ed Wood standards.
Does anyone else think it is a hoot that the super SQUEAKY clean "Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" used king of Ed Wood sleaze, Lyle Talbot on their show? You gotta love it!!!!!!!!
vonnoosh -
Slow paced, dumb script and bad acting,
but what do you expect to get from an Edward D Wood Jr story? The flaws are everywhere and they're pretty obvious (listen to the dialog!) so no need to point them out.
You'll recoognize a lot of familiar faces from other Wood movies. A pre Hercules Steve Reeves has a supporting role with the only name actor in this, Lyle Talbot.
Watch it if you are in an Ed Wood mood, don't if you are in a good movie mood because it may cause convulsions.
Kodachrome -
This movie is truly bloody awful.
I wish I had read the reviews first, but with that title, what could go wrong?
Ron Ormond teamed up with theater owner Joy Newton Houck Sr., forming the Howco production company which produced this movie. The blackface act (@16:00) of Cotton Watts and Chick, was so offensive as to be parodiously funny. I am told that that scene is from "Yes, Sir, Mr. Bones", a 1951 Ron Ormond movie. This scene was just dropped in between scenes, serving no other apparent purpose but to add length to the film. In most movies, this tacking on of content unrelated to the plot would have ruined the story, but this movie only benefits from the intrusion.
As cosmico noted, the soundtrack of Jail Bait is also lifted from another Howco/Ormond production, "Mesa of Lost Women". The music is, as other reviewers have noted, horribly, unbelievably bad. There is also way too much of it. Like a hammer in the head – it feels so good when it stops.
On the plus side, it was nice to see a few locations filmed in 1954 in Temple City and Alhambra Ca. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley – eventually.
Did I mention that this movie is bloody awful? Nobody would blame you if you hit the back button on your browser right now.
Goldies -
The acting in most cases was atrocious and the Mexican-sounding soundtrack was a laughable mismatch. I wasn't sure if the ridiculous music was coming from a radio or if the film makers were actually serious.
Examples of the music ruining the scenes were when they broke in to do the robbery and then when they arrived back at his girl's place afterwards

....How Did..
...Skinny Geeky Steve Reeves Beef Up So Fast For The Italian Sword & Sandle Flicks..?..Any Idea..?..Delores Fuller Is In My Autograph Collection..She Was Ed Wood's Girlfriend..Oh. Prunella..!
Film Noir, Ed Wood Style!
The title is a misnomer - you expect to see a 50s-style sexploitation programmer called "Jail Bait" - but it has more of a plot than your average Ed Wood flicker, namely Plan 9 From Outer Space. Like that movie, the dialogue is a bit out in left field and the acting - except for Lyle Talbot's - amateurish and stilted. The sets are less cheesy than Plan 9's cardboard airplane cockpit; actual Los Angeles locations were used. The addition of a minstrel show routine is superfluous and gratuitous, but when is anything in an Ed Wood movie never superfluous?
With a more competent director and scenarist, we would have a better movie even though the plastic surgery angle makes for a compelling plot. However, this is Ed Wood, and our expectations are not always high, but Jail Bait is one notch above the usual incompetent Ed Wood cinematic exercise. Being his only foray into one of my favorite genres - film noir - also helps, and I've never seen a film noir I didn't like. Good little B- picture.
Dr Feel Rotten -
J..J..Jail Bait?
This has NOTHING whatever to do with the title and the title probably should be titled, "How to not act" or "How to not write a script", but it oddly will draw you in and have you expecting a different plot at almost every turn till the end which then ends ultra predictably. Almost as predictable as whether the sun will rise in the east.

From GnarlyWood Land
A gnarly Woodsie twisted tale
To which the majors said "No sale".
But Ed would do what Ed Wood do
To make his noir style pic come true.
Perhaps the continuity
Is not what you'd expect it be;
The acting poor; some lines are trite,
But Ed was sure his vision right:
To make some bucks and on the cheap
Ed Wood would spread the BS deep.
I_loved_this movie! -
pretty bad
It's a pleasant feeling when you reach the end and the flamenco guitar stops.

about this movie...
Cheesy, low budget, sooo Ed Wood! The closest thing to an actor is Lyle Talbot.
The_Emperor_Of_Television -
OK movie
I saw this movie a while ago. It's OK. It's not a good movie, but for a Ed Wood movie, it's OK.

Ed Wood does Film Noir!
An amazing and unusual Ed Wood film, if for no other reason than it actually resembles a "real" mainstream '50s b-movie (for the most part), and because a lot of people who have grown tired of Plan 9 from Outer Space and its raucous fandom and can't take it any more might find the change of pace interesting. Good to see that Wood explored other genres before he threw his life away, also nice to know that this is definitely in the public domain, and not owned or controlled by one person.
In his book "Death on the Cheap: The Lost B Movies of Film Noir," the late Arthur Lyons comments about this film that it is Ed Wood's "sole and largely neglected attempt at noir ... filled with brilliant bits of dialogue ... Steve Reeves' first speaking role reveals why the Italians dubbed over his voice in his later Hercules roles." Also that, "economical and original to the end, Wood lifted the oddball music score, a constantly strumming flamenco guitar interspersed with a dissonant pounding piano ... from Mesa of the Lost Women, a film he probably admired as it ranks up there with his own work as one of the worst horror films of all time." Easy to poke fun at Wood, but how many of his critics ever tried making their own films? But yes, the music is annoying if you let it be.
This film's original title was The Hidden Face (which makes a lot more sense with respect to the story), but was changed to Jail Bait to for a bigger boxoffice draw, no doubt. In fact, in one scene a bit of dialogue is dubbed in to have a character say "jail bait" in a context entirely different from what most viewers would expect.
If all you've seen of Wood's work is the wacky sci-fi horror fantasy Plan 9, or his moldy, creaky Bride of the Monster, this is definitely worth a look, as it's short and pretty darn fast-moving. And yes, it has some classic bits of Ed's trademark dialogue that may either make you laugh, cry, or groan. All in all, a fun, odd, but breezy little movie.

A few weeks ago Whole Foods Market sent me a $100 gift card and asked me to take their Value Challenge to feed my family for a week. I was, to say the least, skeptical. I didn't think I'd come anywhere close to feeding my family of 5 for a week- but several days later, after a pretty amazing shopping experience….I almost did it. Almost. I went a few dollars over (and I mean a few- the total for the groceries for 1 week was I think $108.xx but definitely under $110).
That's right- I shopped Whole Foods Market and took the Whole Foods Value Challenge and (almost) rocked it! HOW is it possible?
You have to be a smart shopper. First thing? Check the sales. Seriously. Shop the sales. Whole Foods Market even has these cool fliers found in a few different places in the store that give you menu ideas for your family in certain price amounts. They tell you what to buy. Now, if you are like me and hate planning meals— this is for you. Trust me.
The next thing you want to do is check around for some coupons. Manufacturer coupons, and store coupons. Whole Foods Market has a coupon booklet they put out every few months. They have extras by the customer service booth, and a few places around the store. At customer service, there's (at least at every Whole Foods Market I've been in) always a little basket with like coupons paper clipped together. All for the taking. (And the giving, so leave your extras).
Check Facebook. Erica, my guardian shopper, even told me that a staff member at her store finds amazing deals and coupons, which is how we came to enjoy so much Risotto from Whole Foods Market- for $0.49 each. COUPONS and sales, my friends. Even at Whole Foods Market. Ask the staff. Chances are, they work at Whole Foods Market because it jives with their lifestyle too- and most people try to be smart with money these days. I'm sure they'd be more than happy to give you tips and suggestions!
What kind of meals did we eat for this $108?
Dinner: Eggs, salsa, cheese omelets, fresh fruit on side, loaf of fresh bread ($1.49 with coupon!) 18 eggs cost me less than at my regular grocery store (sale)
Snacks: chips, salsa (weekly deal)
Dinner: Split chicken breasts marinated in 365 Italian Dressing, roasted potato, salad. (Cooked extra, saved for another night)
Dinner: Stuffed clams- $1/each. served with risotto ( $0.49 each) and some salad (spring mix was the same price for a huge plastic bin as my regular store has in non-organic bags
