Since we do get many of our northern neighbors coming south to shop in Minot and other towns, curious to know how much are they allowed to take back without either paying taxes or??? We have seen everything from packed trucks, furnitures, RV's etc. They hit Walmart heavy, but do shop all over.
Just curious. |

Here are the limits. Even if you do buy more you just declare it and pay the taxes and duty - in most cases it's worth it because American prices are a lot cheaper than Canadian prices. Less than 24 Hours - $0 CAD |

HoopsHype Charles Oakley rumors
Why is the league so chummy? Why is the NBA lacking the real rivalries from the '80s and '90s? Why has the overall level of play dipped? "I'm blaming the management, I'm not blaming the kids," Oakley said. "I'm blaming management for drafting guys on potential. Back in our day and era, you had to have your potential and be ready to play right away. Everybody was talented. In three years, you'd be out of the league [if you didn't perform]. Draft what you need, not what someone else said is good. "We had guys come out of high school, Moses Malone, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, but all these guys could play. It wasn't about you've got to wait three or four years. That's why Philadelphia is so bad, Sacramento, they got players but they are all young." Boston Globe
Oakley continued his criticism of the league and its individualism. "The coaches in this league, in this day and era, are soft; the players are soft, how can you build something?" he said. "They put all these stat guys, these analytic guys, and put them on the bench and make them GM because of numbers. My thing with basketball, you've got to have efficiency within your structure, like San Antonio. You've got to have your players to buy in. That's what wrong with the league, you've got guys worried about social media, my brand. You brand once you get drafted, when you win as a team, you get your brand. When your team wins, then all of those commercials will come. Everything is all about hype." Boston Globe
Oakley has an interesting theory. He believes in order to globalize the league, ex-commissioner David Stern had to change the rules to make the NBA more inviting for European players. While the rule changes to increase scoring were effective, they made the league less physical. "When we played in the '80s, it wasn't OK [for European players to play in the NBA]," Oakley said. "They weren't coming over here. They were scared. The game was tough and they weren't tough. Back then it was 1 percent and now it's 40 percent and it's going to keep going up. The dollar is international now. I don't like 7-footers shooting threes, it's a disrespect to the game for me. Dirk [Nowitzki] is good, point blank. [Larry] Bird got away with it. A few guys can get away with it because they can flat-out shoot." Boston Globe
Ex-Knick Charles Oakley is pretty familiar with Phil Jackson. He played for and against Jackson at different points in his 19-year NBA career. Oakley's well aware of Jackson's new role in New York. And the former Knicks enforcer predicts that Jackson will be a "great" addition to the franchise. "He's someone with a brand, an ex-Knicks player, 11 championships -- he's got he whole resume," Oakley said in a phone interview. "Having him is like taking a test and already having the answers. You can't go wrong when his hand is involved in what you're trying to do." ESPN.com
Oakley, though, thinks that owner James Dolan, who has a history of getting involved in his executive's basketball decisions, needs to give Jackson the "power" to shape the Knicks' roster the way he sees fit. "I think [Dolan] convinced Phil to come here [so] then to go back on what you said, it's going to look bad on Dolan's end because Phil is a guy who's got a lot of credibility and I think that the people in New York, they want something positive to happen," Oakley said. "If you sign a man for three, four, five years [and] if you tell him he's got the power and authority to make moves, I know it's tough to give someone power when you've had power for so long [and] you give it to a man whose done this and done that somewhere else. Now he comes in here and things don't start out the way you plan, you might get a little irritated, but you just have to bite you're tongue," Oakley added. "They told me many times throughout my career to bite my tongue and I told them my tongue's been bleeding since I was born." ESPN.com
Michael Jordan dunked over hundreds of players during his NBA career, so picking his favorite dunk can't be easy. In a video for the newly released videogame NBA 2K14, Jordan said that the one dunk he thinks about "very, very often" is his throwdown over Patrick Ewing in the 1991 NBA Playoffs. Jordan spun away from Charles Oakley on the baseline and soared into the air over Ewing, stunning Madison Square Garden. For The Win
Ex-Knick Charles Oakley took another shot at Knicks brass for not hiring Patrick Ewing as an assistant coach this past offseason. "You play 15-plus years in New York,'' Oakley said on 560 WQAM Radio in Florida, "and you get a guy like LaSalle Thompson, LJ [Larry Johnson]. These guys shouldn't get a job before Patrick, not in New York. I don't know what's going on with New York.'' Ewing, looking for a job after his Orlando stint, sat next to owner James Dolan at last Wednesday's Knicks game against the Raptors. New York Post
Oakley, who spent a charitable Friday morning cooking and serving Thanksgiving dinners to seniors in the lower East Side, said that for a while he "cried and tried" to get a job in the Knicks organization, with no luck. New York Daily News
The 48-year-old has heard it's because he's too critical of his former team — a no-no at the Garden, as Marv Albert also discovered. "They say I'm hard on them. I say, I'm not hard on them; that's just the way the game goes and people have opinions," Oakley said. "Ex-players I talk to, they say, 'Management, they like you. But sometimes it's the way you say things, the way you do things.' New York Daily News
At 6-foot-11 and 235 pounds, he should have an easier adjustment than his predecessors. The position no longer has bruisers such as Shaquille O'Neal, Patrick Ewing or David Robinson. With the exception of Dwight Howard and Andrew Bynum, Bosh will face competitors who are mostly glorified power forwards. Bosh said the move is "over analyzed" because the evolution at center. "The game was different back then," he said. "The game changes every now and then. At that point, it was all about girth. You have to be big, Anthony Mason and Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing and Vlade Divac. It's different now. The game is a lot faster. If you're big, we're going to run right by you. South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Surprise, surprise, the hard-headed Oakley didn't like how the "Dwightmare" played out. In a recent ESPN Radio interview, Oakley got a few digs in on Howard and took the Magic to task for their appeasement of their former franchise center. "A lot of guys cry in this league these days. I try not to get caught up in that. The management in Orlando let him get away with it. Most times, they put kids in timeout. They never put him in timeout. He just kept crying and got his way. Now he's in LA with Kobe so they got a chance to win a couple championships in the next two or three years. "They could have traded him and got something better for him last year. I think they just tried to play along. They just pleased him anyway they could but he never did anything to please them." CBSSports.com
Former Knick Charles Oakley says Carmelo Anthony and Co. need to understand where they fit in on the team if they have any hopes of winning a championship this season. "I think it's all about how you view your team and everybody knowing what their roles are," Oakley told The Post. "You look at Miami, the first year together, they made the finals, but the second year they won it. They had a better understanding of their roles together. I think that's what the Knicks need to do and players need to understand if they're the first option, second option or third option. When a team is paying you $100 million you shouldn't be arguing over who is first." New York Post
Oakley also addressed the most-recent "who's better" debate that has emerged after LeBron James helped lead Miami to the NBA title and Team USA to the gold medal. Following the Olympics, Syracuse head coach and U.S. assistant coach Jim Boeheim said James is the best player he has ever seen play, including Michael Jordan. "I don't know why they started this. Jordan had six rings, LeBron has one. Jordan has six Finals MVPs, LeBron has one," Oakley said. "I think the better comparison is Kobe Bryant. "They weren't even talking about this a year ago. LeBron wasn't in the picture last year, but now that he's won a title and a gold medal he is? It's just more hardware, it doesn't change the field." New York Post
Tyson Chandler credited former Knicks Bill Cartwright and Charles Oakley for helping him become a better defensive player. He played for Cartwright as a rookie in Chicago and with Oakley. "Oak, even at that age, felt he wasn't going to let that guy score on him. He was going to impose his will on that guy, wherther it be practice or in the game. I really learned something just watching him – professional and taking your job seriously." Sulia
So 20 years later Charles Oakley still holds a grudge? Charles Barkley: "Yeah I think so. First of all I want to give Kenny [Smith]…Kenny is wrong. We won 5 Emmy's. [Host: Charles Oakley said you guys are a bunch of clowns. He says you are a fraud. What does that even mean?] I don't even know what that means either. First of all I don't take it personally. My job is to give my opinion. I don't think everybody is going to like us, but listen I am going to do my thing. I am going to be honest and straightforward, but I don't go crazy if people don't like me. I don't like him [Charles Oakley] going after Kenny and Ernie [Johnson] because they are both great, but if he don't like the show I am not going to sweat it." Sports Radio Interviews
So is this beef with you on or off the court for Charles Oakley? Who holds a 20-year grudge for an on the court thing? "Thank you. Thank you very much. I am glad you mentioned that. Dude we got into an altercation in 1994. It's over with. We don't even play anymore. I have been retired for 12 years. I mean we've never had an issue off the court, but we did have a little altercation back in the mid 1990′s, but dude I have been retired for 12 years. It's over with. Let it go." Sports Radio Interviews
On Barkley: Barkley for his size was a good player but he's a coward though....he wasn't a leader and wasn't a role model. Now he talks so bad about younger guys, I don't respect that from him…He's wants to be funny, that whole TNT thing and all that, they're like some clowns on that show. On Perkins: He's just like Garnett. They holler and complain. If Kendrick Perkins would play basketball, Oklahoma City would win a championship the next three or four years…you're a power forward, you don't let guys dunk on you. I played 18, 19 years I got dunked on 3 times..." USA Today
The Bobcats made it official Thursday that Charles Oakley has left the coaching staff. The announcement didn't mention Oakley's health issues, but a bad back forced him to leave the team last season. Charlotte Observer

As per the title.
At the non-official A:NR Facebook page, someone posted a mash-up version of Gabriel Santiago's A:NR ID using art from Infiltration. I was really disappointed because his Infiltration portrait was way cooler and sleeker than the goateed art we currently have.
In addition, his A:NR appearance is not consistent with the Android universe in that regard; it's not just a break from his earlier appearance in that game but also a break with his appearance on Bank Job's art.

As mosquito season arrives along with warm summer temperatures, the Halton Region Health Department is working to stop the insects from spreading West Nile Virus (WNV).
The Region's Manager of the Enteric and Vectorborne Disease Program Dimitra Kasimos said so far approximately 36 pools of standing water throughout the region have been treated with larvicide to reduce the local mosquito population.
The treated sites include stormwater management ponds and roadside ditches where accumulated water creates a perfect breeding ground for the insects.
Twelve of the sites treated are in Oakville with 17 in Burlington, one in Halton Hills and six in Milton.
In total there are approximately 200 stormwater management ponds and another 200 other standing water sites monitored for mosquito larva across Halton.
Last Wednesday, the Region also began treating municipal catch basins with larvicide where necessary, according to Kasimos.
"The product that we use is effective for about 21 days, so every 21 days it will be applied throughout the summer," she said.
"A little bit later on in the season we start doing adult mosquito surveillance so we actually set up mosquito traps and collect adult mosquitos and send them away for identification and testing to see if they actually have West Nile Virus."
If any mosquitos test positive, Kasimos said the public is notified that mosquitos carrying WNV have been found in the area.
"At this time of year, the risk for West Nile Virus is pretty low. We tend to get positive mosquitos closer to the end of July and the beginning of August," said Kasimos.
"The risk increases as we go through the summer."
According to Region's website, people of all ages can be infected with the virus.
Of those infected, 80 per cent have no symptoms while almost 20 per cent experience West Nile fever, which consists of fever, headache, muscle ache and rash.
In very serious cases, infected individuals can develop encephalitis and meningitis, however, this only occurs in approximately one in 150 infections.
Kasimos says residents can stay healthy by taking precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitos.
"Residents should avoid areas where there are lots of mosquitos. During the day they like shady, wooded places where it is cooler," she said.
"If you are going into wooded areas and there are mosquitos, the best thing to do is wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing and an insect repellent containing DEET."
She advised residents out in the evening hours should cover up when possible and remove standing water on their property.

You can fly into Hilton Head Island Airport from Charlotte, North Carolina, via U.S. Airways Express, but more likely you'll drive the forty-five minutes up I-95 from Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. The island itself is shaped like a foot, and it's an easy place to navigate during the day, with most everything connecting to two main roads, William Hilton Parkway (Highway 278) and the Cross Island Parkway. But at night the paucity of streetlights (a local ordinance to allow for better stargazing) can make road signs quite difficult to see.
The twelve miles of beaches are a lovely place to start, and boaters could hardly find a nicer spot to cast about. The Harbour Town Yacht Basin (843-671-2704) offers fishing charters, cruising and sailing.
Your credit card can get a nice workout at Hilton Head Factory Stores 1 & 2 (shophiltonhead.com), found just off the island and with a wide range of stores. Fans of golf art should seek either counseling or the Linda Hartough Gallery (843-671-6500) in Harbour Town, where you'll find "golf landscapes" from one of the game's preeminent artists.
There are plenty of loftier pursuits within an hour of Hilton Head. You can check out historic Beaufort and its antebellum homes, tour the unspoiled beauty of Daufuskie Island with Outside Hilton Head (800-686-6996; also the place for outdoor enthusiasts), or take in all the charms of America's charm capital, Savannah, Georgia. You can even get there by boat on the Spirit of Harbour Town (843-842-7179).
There's something on Hilton Head in every style and price range. Marriott alone has eleven properties on the island (talk about being all over it), with a strong supply of family-friendly suites, cottages and villas.
DAUFUSKIE ISLAND RESORT & SPA Avenue of the Oaks, Daufuskie Island; 800-648-6778, daufuskieresort.com. Rooms: $89-$255. Cottages: $199-$499.
One nautical mile by private passenger ferry from Hilton Head and the setting for Pat Conroy's The Water Is Wide, Daufuskie Island Resort is the getaway from the getaway. The elegant antebellum inn has fifty-two rooms, all overlooking the Atlantic, as well as the brand-new Breathe Spa, with eight treatment rooms and so many spa services to choose from you may get stressed out trying to decide.
DISNEY'S HILTON HEAD ISLAND RESORT 22 Harbourside Lane; 407-934-7639, disneyvacationclub.com. Studios: $105-$275. Villas: $150-$710.
No, there are no Mickey Mouse courses to be found on this property, a rustic compound of Goofy fun set on a fifteen-acre island. What you will find are the three Palmetto Dunes courses just down the street, as well as a healthy dollop of family-oriented amusements centered around the 13,000-square-foot beach house.
HILTON OCEANFRONT RESORT 23 Ocean Lane; 800-845-8001, hiltonheadhilton.com. Studios: $99-$275; One-Bedrooms: $199-$499.
Located in Palmetto Dunes, this beachfront resort offers 303 studio suites and twenty oceanfront one-bedroom suites, all of which have minikitchens and balconies. Two pools are available for those who can't drag themselves the additional few feet to the private beach access. There's live entertainment five nights a week in the Regatta Lounge, which a fifty-something playing partner swore to me was "hopping with ladies, mostly my age, but still."
THE INN AT HARBOUR TOWN One Lighthouse Lane; 800-732-7463, seapines.com. Rooms: $146-$295.
The rather bland cream exterior of this sixty-room inn set adjacent to the golf links quickly gives way to an intimate, comfortable interior. There is a butler on call at all times whose duties range from recommendations to reservations; activities include tennis at the Sea Pines Racquet Club, whose twenty-three clay courts helped the resort garner the status of Tennis Magazine's number-two American tennis resort.
MARRIOTT'S HERITAGE CLUB AT HARBOUR TOWN & MARRIOTT'S HARBOUR CLUB 1044 William Hilton Parkway; 800-228-9290, vacationclub.com. Villas: $190-$330 (Heritage); $140-$280 (Harbour).
These get the nod among the island's copious Marriotts for their intimacy (there are only seventy villas) and proximity to the Calibogue Sound and Harbour Town (obviating the need for on-site restaurants). Each of their big two-bedroom-two-bath villas has all the goodies and gizmos you could want, from whirlpool tubs to balcony patios.
More than 200 eateries offer enough seafood to remind you you're on vacation, but there's ample cuisine for those who like meals to have legs.
CHARLEY'S CRAB (Seafood) Two Hudson Road; 843-342-9066. $$$
Sophisticated dining in a relaxed waterfront setting where the voices rarely rise above a contented murmur. Follow the waiter's tip and focus on the house specialties: luscious she-crab soup, teeming seafood chowder and truly crabby crab cakes that make Tim "Lumpy" Herron seem merely chubby by comparison.
HAROLD'S DINER (Diner) 641 William Hilton Parkway; 843-842-9292. $
The kind of authentic greasy spoon every golf destination should be required by law to have. You order at the counter from a guy who tells a loudmouth, "If you want to talk, go eat at Barnes & Noble." Someone (okay, me) who forgot to write his name on the bottom of the paper menu on which you check off your selection was asked, "What am I, your mother?" By the way, said menu fails to indicate that the "Big 'H' Burger" is one entire heart-stopping pound of meat.
OLD FORT PUB (Southern) 65 Skull Creek Drive; 843-681-2386. $$$
Generally regarded as the best place in Hilton Head to take a date—even if that date happens to be your spouse—this romantic eatery serves up succulent Southern fare along with more than 250 wines. Panoramic windows afford each diner a view of the spectacular sunsets from the banks of Skull Creek.
SANTA FE CAFE (Southwestern) 700 Plantation Center; 843-785-3838. $$$
Weather permitting, eat on the upstairs patio, where a roaring fireplace cuts the evening chill. The high vaulted ceiling and dark wood inside help create a cozy, clubby atmosphere, and the menu does equally well with the common (the "Outrageous Chimichanga") and the uncommon (wood-roasted quail).
TRUFFLES CAFE (Café) 71 Lighthouse Road; 843-671-6136. $$
There's a pleasant buzz here; Truffles serves the kind of food, including gourmet pizza, pasta and steaks, that you can enjoy and talk through at the same time—it's a nice spot for a postround lunch in particular. The "Chicken New Orleans" is a standout; if eaten for dinner, its thick, spicy cream sauce should preclude the need for breakfast the next morning. More than thirty wines are available by the glass.
TWO ELEVEN PARK WINE BAR & BISTRO (Fusion) 211 Park Plaza; 843-686-5212. $$$
This rollicking upscale bistro has perhaps the island's most bustling bar scene (excluding the nearby "Barmuda Triangle," located outside the gates of Sea Pines). Once you've made it to your table, you'll enjoy a convergence of American, Southern and international influences in dishes like "Rasta Pasta" and "Smothered Shrimp." The sprawling wine list spans 100 by the glass and 300 by the bottle.

What will grow in a wooded area with some sunlight? I have a few acres filled with nice tall trees and would like to grow wild leeks, asparagus or other plants that might grow here wild. Any ideas? |

Where do you live? What are the trees that predominate your woodland patch? How many trees and what is the approximate area? Finally, what part of the day does this patch receive the most sunlight? |

Pawpaw, Hazelnut, American plum, American Ginseng,and Ginger are just a few of many natives edibles that can be grown in the understory of a forest. I would really check out Oikos Tree Crops if your interested in that sort of thing. |

Greenthumb, you make an assumption that the 'tall trees' the OP is alluding to, will allow for certain understory trees to grow, let alone thrive. What if the 'tall trees' are Black Walnut? Sweetgum? Silver Maple? Poplars? |

236 Critchley to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram K155 KALIURANG, 7 September 1948
Rumours are widespread that the Americans have proposals for the political settlement based on our original proposals but with provision for an interim federal government before a Constituent Assembly is set up. Rumours emphatically denied by the Americans who stress the importance of giving the Netherlands full opportunity of submitting their own proposals. If the latter are unsatisfactory or not forthcoming within a reasonable period the Americans will doubtless make suggestions. [1] Unofficial reports from The Hague of the intended Netherlands proposals indicate they will be entirely unacceptable to the Republic. Hatta has informed the Americans that with the deterioration in internal conditions the margin for concessions by the Republic is now very small. I believe an appointed interim government as part of an overall scheme would be acceptable to the present Republican government providing it could appoint at least 50% of the members and that the new government were given wide powers, including control of the armed forces, in Indonesia.
2. The Masjumi Council after a special meeting on the 4th and 5th September issued a resolution which amongst other things a) opposes communism and imperialism;
b) supports a strong policy by the government against peace disturbers;
c) recognizes the private rights of foreigners but also the right to nationalize industries important to the State;
d) advocates extension of Republican foreign relations.
3. Van Mook who is apparently going to Holland at his own request is considered by Hatta more liberal than The Hague but is nevertheless opposed to elections in Indonesia.

Derek Hough isn't ready to admit he's banging Kate Hudson -- but he's definitely not denying it either.
The "Dancing with The Stars" pro was in Boca Raton Thursday -- at a Tony Robbins seminar of all things -- when a photog popped the question about rumors he and newly single Kate are hooking up ... and his response is a little weird.
Hough and Huds were reportedly making out at an L.A. hot spot last Friday night -- he left out the front door, and she was spotted sneaking out the back -- sans engagement ring.
So, Derek ... if you're NOT with her ... why not just say so? Just sayin'.
Jonathan Bennett
Takes EPIC FALL
'Dancing' Star Goes Boom
'Mean Girls' Star
In 'DWTS' Prep Video
Jonathan Bennett's "Dancing With the Stars" appearance almost never happened ... because he suffered a humongous fall as he jokingly tried to prep for the show ... and it was all caught on tape.
So here's the deal ... the "Mean Girls" star shot this video a few months back, but kept it hidden until "DWTS" finished its run (congrats, Alfonso).
In the video, he and a few friends attempt an "interpretive dance" ... but Bennett tried a move on the railing of a staircase that ended ... well, you gotta see it. He ended up with 2 broken ribs and his arm in a sling for 2 months.
The best part -- they were dancing to "Wind Beneath My Wings."
Seeing as he was the one who allowed the video to be posted ... Bennett's ego escaped unscathed.
Tom Bergeron
Cracks Erin Andrews
Stalking Joke
Tom Bergeron hit a little too close to home Monday night on "Dancing With the Stars" ... when he made a stalking joke about Erin Andrews ... who very famously dealt with a stalker of her own.
Andrews was debriefing Alfonso Ribeiro when she began gushing over Will Smith ... who went on a social media campaign supporting his former "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" co-star.
After Andrews repeatedly invited Will to show up to a taping, Bergeron followed it up by saying Will could do worse than having Erin as a stalker ... insinuating it's ok for hot chicks to stalk guys.
You'll recall ... Erin dealt with a stalker/Peeping Tom who secretly filmed her inside a hotel room and posted a video of her naked online. The creepy peeper was sentenced to 30 months.
'DWTS' Celeb Janel Parrish
Rehearsal Injury
Makes Final Performance Iffy [VIDEO]
Janel Parrish just had her chances of winning the Mirrorball Trophy derailed ... at least that's the way it looks after she suffered a gnarly injury during rehearsal.
TMZ just got this video of the "Pretty Little Liars" star and Val Chmerkovskiy practicing lifts. Something bad clearly happened because you see her dissolve into tears as she hobbles to a room where doctors examine her.
It looks like she suffered a broken or compressed rib.
She hasn't been counted out, but it doesn't look good. The finals are tonight.
'DWTS' Celeb Janel Parrish
'Pretty Little Liars' Could
Sabotage Dance Title
Janel Parrish is pulling double duty on "Pretty Little Liars" AND "Dancing with the Stars" -- and TMZ has learned she's spread herself so thin, she's alienated castmates on both shows.
DWTS sources tell us ... Janel's pro dance partner, Val Chmerkovskiy is freaking out ... because she's missed two days of critical dance rehearsals due to long days of filming on PLL.
We're told ... Val believes he and Janel have a real shot at winning the trophy -- the finals are Monday and Tuesday -- but thinks her PLL schedule is sabotaging their chances.
As for Janel's "Pretty Little Liars" co-stars ... we're told Lucy Hale and others in the cast have been conspicuously absent from the DWTS set the entire season ... and have given her little to no support -- even when she danced to the PLL theme song.
Alfonso Ribeiro
May Be Forced Off DWTS
Alfonso Ribeiro -- the front-runner on "Dancing with the Stars" -- may have to pull out of the competition days before the semifinals ... and it's all because of The Carlton Dance.
Our DWTS sources say Ribeiro injured his back during rehearsal Wednesday night as he tried to overcompensate for a groin injury which he suffered on the show, performing his signature move.
The back injury is bad -- he's having trouble even walking. Alfonso skipped rehearsals Thursday so he could get an MRI.
Doctors are telling him the next 48 hours are critical, but they say there's a real chance he can't dance.
Dancing With the Stars
Threatens Dance Pros ...
Don't Tango With the Competition
"Dancing With the Stars" is drawing a line in the parquet floor with some of its famous pros -- warning them to stay away from an upstart live dance show, or risk a tango ... in court.
Our 'DWTS' sources tell us producers fired off warning letters to several dancing pros right after they sued a touring show called "Ballroom With A Twist." The letter informs the dancers they could be violating their "DWTS" contract if they do any side gigs with the rival.
'Dancing' vets Peta Murgatroyd, Tony Dovolani and Val Chmerkovskiy have all appeared on promotions for 'Ballroom' ... but the show hasn't started touring yet. We're told they've now been told to bail, or face potential legal action.
In other words ... they own you, jive turkeys.
Keep Your Hands Off Our Dancers
"Dancing With the Stars" wants the competition to know ... they're the head pimp in the dancing game ... and they're going after a rival show for stealing their look and their pro dancers.
There's a live performance stage show called "Ballroom with a Twist" that tours around the U.S. -- but it features a bunch of "DWTS" dancers ... like Peta Murgatroyd, Tony Dovolani and Val Chmerkovskiy (Max's little bro).
The BBC, which owns "DWTS," is suing Scott Stander -- whose company produces "Ballroom with a Twist" -- because those dancers can't work side gigs for a competing show without approval ... according to the suit.
The BBC also says it's pissed 'BWAT' is using 'DWTS' styled graphics to promote the show ... and perhaps the ultimate insult -- in the dancing world, we're guessing -- 'Dancing' alum Louis Van Amstel choreographed the upstart live show.
The BBC wants to shut down the copycat promos, and they want their dancers back. In other words ... beat it, we've got this corner on lock!
Derek Hough & Mark Ballas
Our Junker is Now Fit for a Pimp
Move over Ty Pennington, the house Derek Hough and Mark Ballas bought has officially been souped-up -- and now the famous dancers are looking to cash out.
The "Dancing With the Stars" duo purchased the Studio City pad together earlier this year for $1.275 mil ... and now they're listing it for $1.895 million -- $620K more than they paid.
The flipping process caught the eye of HGTV, which will air a special in January featuring their home pirouette ... tentatively called "Mark & Derek's Excellent Flip."
We're told the "Dancing" stars completely tore up the inside ... and replaced all the windows and doors with fancy new ones -- same goes for the roof.
We're told Derek and Mark forked over at least $200K to rebuild it, with the help of real estate agent Andrew Gulyas ... and now each of the 'DWTS' stars stand to waltz away with some nice pocket change.
Not bad for 8 months work.
Karina Smirnoff
Carted Off 'DWTS' Set
With Multiple Injuries
Karina Smirnoff went down so hard during a "Dancing With the Stars" rehearsal ... she had to get lifted onto a stretcher and rushed to the hospital.
TMZ obtained video of EMTs whisking Smirnoff away after she bit it in practice ... suffering knee and wrist injuries. Watch the video ... Karina's clearly in pain, and her wrist is already wrapped up in an ice pack.
Sources close to the show tell us x-rays show she didn't fracture anything, but just in case ... producers are scrambling to find a replacement. Karina's already been voted out, but she still performs in each show.
Biggest take away from this clip though -- Hollywood EMTs are hot and camera ready.
Sadie Robertson
Now She's Gotta Cut Loose
From Anti-Dance High School Rules
Mark Ballas has a true rookie on his hands with Sadie Robertson because the "Duck Dynasty" star hails from a high school where dancing is strictly forbidden ... just like "Footloose."
Willie Robertson's 17-year-old daughter is partnered with Ballas for this season of "Dancing With the Stars" ... but she also attends Ouachita Christian School in Monroe, LA where administrators have a longstanding ban on all school dances.
We spoke to Sadie's principal Jamie Stokes, and he was unapologetic about the school's policy ... which he says includes banning all dances. Even proms. Zero tolerance dancing, y'all.
Mark and Sadie advanced last week, but judge Julianne Hough told the 'DD' heir she's gonna need to get "more down and dirty" to win it all.
Sadie's dad shot that down almost immediately -- and we're guessing it's ditto from her principal.
'Dancing' Judge to Lolo Jones:
'S**t Happens!'
... Move On Already!
Truth bomb from "Dancing with the Stars" judge Bruno Tonioli to Lolo Jones -- STOP CRYING ABOUT LOSING ALREADY AND MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE!!!
This video is great ... we asked Bruno how he felt about Lolo's emotional breakdown after she became the 1st person eliminated from the show last week -- and the guy didn't hold back.
As we previously reported, Lolo expressed her devastation on Facebook after she was 86'd -- saying she was sick of being a loser ... and wanted to use the show to redeem herself after multiple failures in the Olympics.
But as Bruno says ... "s**t happens. Move on."

This should be a European or Arab problem to solve. Let us not dump another nasty situation onto America or the UK's shoulders (which everyone will then criticize America for later anyways).
How about France taking the lead in a situation for once. After all it is mostly France's weapons causing deaths. Maybe Spain and Italy could join in too.

Ive accepted my widower- hood as a fact of life. I had an un-widowed person ask me recently if I was mad about my wifes passing. I told him I was more sad than mad. I was sad that she has missed a number of family milestones. Anyway who would I be mad at? Well, I am mad at cancer and our inability to find a cure for it, but otherwise I have no reason for anger. It isnt that I dont have anger in my arsenal of emotions; its just that I cant see anyone to be angry with.
My grocery shopping problems have gone from buying the wrong things to buying too much or too many of the right things. I inherited a stock up shopping mentality from my late wife, but when its only for one person, sometimes stocking up is wasteful. I somehow strayed from using lists for grocery shopping and thats dangerous. I buy two or three of something, bring it home, and when I go to put it on the shelf, there are already two or three there. I guess Ill have to start looking to see what I need, make a list, then shop.
The same problem is happening in the kitchen. Im getting pretty good at fixing meals, but I fix too much. Then I say, I dont want to eat that again, and shove it back in the refrigerator and forget it until green mold forms. The other day I almost wore out the garbage disposal cleaning out the refrigerator.
All of these problems are dilemmas for single people, especially those who find themselves surprisingly single after long years marriage. Portions and recipes are not made for one person. A can of spaghetti sauce is too much for one person for one meal. I have to not to use a portion of the can and put the rest in the refrigerator. (See the above comment about the disposal.) Im forced to make a big batch of sauce and store it in the freezer and end up saying, I wonder what this red stuff covered with ice coating is or was?
Have you ever taken a Social Security test; have you ever heard of a Social Security test? I recently made a large purchase with a check and the salesperson asked to see my drivers license. I pulled out my billfold and no drivers license! Fortunately I knew my Social Security number. So I gave the salesperson, a pleasant young lady, the number and she disappeared into the inner offices for a short time returning with a confused look on her face. She told me that my Social Security account had been accessed at one time and she would have to give me this little four question test to make sure I was me, and this big check didnt bounce and get her in trouble. The questions were names of streets that I may have lived on and names of people I might have lived with. This was my whole life and I think I got my SSN when I was 12 years old. That was a new one on me and Im 80+. I passed and everything was kind of OK. When I got home, my DL was in a shoe by the tall dresser; it had fallen out at home. Phew!
Remember, were all in this together, folks. Contact me at email@example.com.

McALLEN, Texas — Tom Lovelace, executive vice president of McEntire Produce, Columbia, S.C. has been traveling to Mexico since the mid-80s and continues to do so, checking on supplies of lettuce, tomatoes and other vegetables that go to McDonald's and other quick-service restaurants in the mid-Atlantic states.
Mexico, like California and Arizona, is an important link in supplying those fast food chains consistently.
"I feel as confident in our Mexico suppliers as I do with any of our U.S. suppliers," Lovelace said April 1 during a retail/foodservice panel during the inaugural America Trades Produce conference. "The growers are following the same standards, jumping through the same hoops and are subject to the same audits."
And yet, he said, a major McEntire Produce customer refuses to buy leafy greens from Mexico.
"It's silly," Lovelace said.
Those concerns from the buyer — or any company with doubts about Mexico's advances in food safety, traceability and similar issues — might have been laid to rest by attending the March 30-April 1 conference, which focused on the fresh produce trade between Mexico and the U.S.
Kicking off with a tour of the Pharr-Reynosa Port of Entry (a major crossing point for limes, avocados and watermelons), the conference sought to shed some light on how Mexican production has rapidly evolved in recent years to meet the standards expected of buyers in the U.S. At the same time, panelists discussed issues that deter trade, from violence linked to drug cartels to disparaging messages in the media.
John McClung, president of the Texas Produce Association, cohost of the event with the Nogales, Ariz.-based Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, said there were about 275 attendees from Arizona, Texas and Mexico at the event. A detailed breakdown of the number of attendees from those three areas will be available soon, McClung said.
Response from attendees was overwhelmingly positive, particularly from those touring the port. Officials said although the Pharr-Reynosa port is a major entry point for imports for Rio Grande Valley companies, the tour was a rare behind-the-scenes for the trade. Representatives from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Department of Transportation and the Food and Drug Administration gave presentations.

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 Lady!
Facts about Lady
- Breed: Domestic Mediumhair
- Color: Calico Or Dilute Calico
- Age: Adult
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Medium
Lady's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
I was living the good life outside chasing the birds and butterflies. My people always made sure I had plenty of food. Then they had to move and wanted to make sure I would find a home where I would be safe and protected so they brought me to the shelter. I am about a year old (est DOB 3-26-12). I love sitting on laps and getting my belly rubbed. POSTED 3-25-13
Other Pets at Henry County Humane Society - Geneseo, IL
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Lady, a Geneseo Domestic Mediumhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Mediumhair for sale in Geneseo, or seeking a Domestic Mediumhair cat from a breeder in Geneseo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Geneseo 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 Geneseo 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 Mediumhair breeders who help with Domestic Mediumhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Geneseo paves the way for another one to be saved.

No one was injured this morning when the minivan belonging to the Men's Christian Recovery Home caught fire just after entering I-5 Freeway northbound at Anaheim Boulevard in Anaheim around 9:30 am. Other drivers warned the van's occupants that there were flames under the vehicle, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Rob Lenzini.
The van pulled over to the right shoulder and the vehicle burst into flames. The two occupants exited the van then climbed the fence to escape the blaze. After the fire department arrived the two men climbed back to the freeway side of the fence.
The on-ramp was closed until about 10:00 am for clean-up of the scene.

Security Bug in Konqueror, Updates for Seamonkey & Co
Following Firefox and Thunderbird, a known URL security bug was closed in the Seamonkey browser suite in August. A similar bug has now been found in Konqueror.
The current security bug in Konqueror could let attackers display an arbitrary website while the URL bar continues to show a trusted website status. The bug in the "setInterval()" function, which was discovered by Robert Swiecki, affects Konqueror version 3.5.7-01 in Fedora Core 6e according to security investigators Secunia. Other versions included with other distributions might also be affected. A patch is not currently available for the bug, which was classified as non-critical. Users with an affected version should avoid untrusted websites until a patch becomes available.
Three security holes have been closed in Mozilla Seamonkey; two of them also affected the Firefox browser and the Thunderbird email client. One of these bugs, which only affects Windows systems with Internet Explorer, gave attackers the ability to launch arbitrary executables in all three products by means of a specially crafted URL. Other applications are also said to be affected by the bug.
The two other bugs affect Linux systems and are disclosed in bug reports on mozilla.org. One bug occurred with add-ons that open an "about:blank" page. The second gave attackers the ability to execute malicious code by means of a specially crafted URL. Updated versions of all three Mozilla products are available from mozilla.org.

Nature Color Hunt. This is so simple to make, and can be used over and over again.
Learning colors in a book or while using paints isn't bad, but when you are able to go outside and find colors in the natural world there is a spark! I was overjoyed to see my son yell "Look mama flower is yellow". I love bridging learning from inside to outside and incorporating all different ways to learn into one activity. Gather your materials. DIY Water Table. Water tables are not cheap, a pain to store if like up you have short warm months, and for people in smaller houses, condos and apartments bulky even if they are being used.
So this is an easy and fun way to play with water with simple toys and tools that can be used for other things as well. The bike helmet is optional. Gather your materials. You will need a plastic bin ( I got this one in the dish rack aisle at Walmart for under $3, some fun beach type toys like this water mill which I love because it is so dynamic and was bought at Target for $1.99, then a turkey baster, a silly funnel and measuring cups from my kitchen. Also water ! {Valentines day} pixelated popup card. By Kate on February 6, 2012 I've been scratching my head trying to come up with a card for my hubby {AKA the non-romantic type}.
I finally decided to make this pixely popup heart card! They are really minimal (which I love) and take about 20 minutes to make (that includes the card, insert and envelope). DIY Stationery and Cards! If you have a small budget for your wedding, one major way to cut expenses is to DIY!

 Star Wars Snowflakes. How to Make Paper Pencils (tutorial) I have always wanted to make my own pencils, but the thought of shaping two pieces of wood to allow a piece of lead to sit perfectly inside made me think it wasn't worth the effort.
For some reason I was looking at some pieces of lead I have (for a drafting pencil) and "pop" there it was.. a solution to my DIY longing. Here is a tutorial to make pencils that is so ridiculously easy I've made 10 pencils since the idea came to me yesterday! Wedding Ideas: DIY Stationery and Cards!

The Bow Tie Bat is a Pasta Guardian which Pastamancers can call upon in combat under certain conditions. By using a smoking talon a Pastamancer can establish a connection with a Bow Tie Bat.
Once connected, the Pastamancer can then summon it in combat. It will increase damage dealt by melee and spell attacks. After reaching level 5, it will cause passive damage through combat, and at level 10, it will try to pickpocket your enemy.
Bow Tie Bat names follow a specific pattern - they consist of two sound-related words (Bark, Chitter, Fang, Flap, Ping, Scratch, Skritch, Squeak, Swoop), the first one suffixed with "-ity" (and a doubled consonant if necessary). Some examples are "Barkity Chitter", "Flappity Scratch", "Scratchity Skritch", and "Skritchity Fang".

Bangkok pawn shops
In Bangkok, people are often embarrassed about taking cherished jewelry and other personal treasures to a pawn shop. They also worry whether they can pay back the loan or finance the interest payments so they don't lose their valuable possessions forever.
How to snag a bargain in a Bangkok pawn shop
Pawn shops are distinguished by double doors -- one at each end of their frontage -- as if they are providing a separate entrance and exit. The double doors are, in theory, to allow people to discreetly enter and exit without having to bump into each other and risk embarrassment, but many people just use whatever door is closer and convenient.
Inside, you will be greeted by vertical metal security bars. You can usually bargain down the sales price.
"For foreigners who like to buy second-hand goods, it is better to buy from pawn shops and not on the street, because here you will get a guarantee that you are buying a genuine item," says Chatchai Treprasertlim, 53, manager of Sen Heng Pawn Shop in Chinatown.
"But we get only a few foreigners buying things here. During the past several months, maybe one or two foreigners came in to buy. They were Japanese and Malaysians. Maybe foreigners are afraid that the things on sale here are fake.
"But in this shop, if people buy something here, they can also come back later and pawn it to us, and we will give them 70 to 80 percent of the price they paid us."
"If it is weird, we do not take it"
Unlike pawn shops in some other countries, the selection does not include weird memorabilia, refrigerators, endless kitsch or a variety of believe-it-or-not things.
"No, we just have these normal things. If it is weird, we do not take it. But we do get earrings and bracelets, and sometimes cameras," Chatchai says, with a hopeful tone.
Not every pawn shop sells to the public, so you have to look for a glass display case.
One of the larger selections of jewelry is displayed at Nguan Ha Cheang Pawn Shop on Silom Road.
"Usually a couple of [foreign] people every week come in here and take a look," says 30-year-old Aee, who speaks English and is a relative of the brightly-lit pawn shop's owner.
"They come here to buy silver pieces, gold rings, diamond rings, bracelets, necklaces, and sometimes we have loose diamonds for sale, plus small Buddhist amulets wrapped in a protective, gold frame.
Pawn shops
Sen Heng Pawn Shop: 2 Yaowarat Road, in Chinatown. Open 11 a.m-5 p.m. Closed Sunday and public holidays. +66 (0)2 223 1601.

A Harlowton teenager was killed in a single-vehicle accident after the pickup truck she was riding in went off the road and flipped onto its top.
Kayla Marie Wilhelm, 17, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Montana Highway Patrol. She was one of two passengers in the Chevy pickup truck, driven by Sarah Peck, 22. Peck was injured in the accident and was transported to a Billings hospital. The other passenger, a 16-year-old boy investigators would not name because he is a minor, was not injured.
The trio was traveling west on Logan Street at a high speed when the truck went off the right side of the road, according to the Montana Highway Patrol. Peck overcorrected, sending the truck across the road and off the left side. The truck then skidded sideways, plowed through a NorthWestern Energy fence and rolled once before coming to rest on its top.
Alcohol and speed are being investigated as factors in the accident, officials said, and Wilhelm was not wearing a seat belt.
In April 2006, a 16-year-old Harlowton girl was killed by a car outside Wade's Drive-In. Shiloh Jean Theriault was having a squirt-gun fight with friends when she tripped and was backed over by a friend who didn't see her.

Who's playing, and who's not? What bands, what songs, and what reasons? The answer is your momma! Who is gonna have a good fucking time is more like what you should be asking? We will have a great time along with whoever shows the fuck up. Speaking of good times, who's playing and who's not…Van Halen still doesn't have their lead singer, and neither does Skid Row, Ratt, Enuff Z'nuff, or Warrant for that matter. Come to think of it, KISS doesn't have Ace Frehley, LA Guns don't have Tracii Guns, and Axl has no Guns at all. Just his own played out Plastic Surgery n' Rose's cover band, I guess that's why tribute bands are slowly ruling the planet.
Get a pen, some paper, and let's start writing down the reasons why you should come to the MSX-II tour Midwest leg. First reason, there are hot chicks in the band SUGAR…if you have a cock and balls, you will dig them! If you don't dig them, then you will probably wanna fag-off at home listening to Cutting Crew & WHAM! The.second reason…Billy Morris is gonna sing some Warrant songs in the jam session, third reason, slutty hot chicks who wear Metal Slut tops will be there looking to get drunk, and get laid. We can't bang them all guys, so come help out please. Fourth reason, drunk dudes wearing Metal Sludge shirts who talk shit on the Gossip Boards will buy any girl a drink who even smiles at them. These guys are looking to be used by scantly clad women, if you have tits – they can be conned into anything. Fifth reason, all the bands will rock, and you'll go ape shit when the Metal Sludge All-Stars play Motley Crue, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Judas Priest and more.
And a few other reasons are…
TUFF will be hitting the Midwest for the first time in nearly 5 years and the only their 2nd time in a solid decade. You'll be sure to hear all your favorites like that #3 MTV Video "I Hate Kissing You Goodbye", the 90s metal anthem "The All New Generation", the ever friendly XM Radio spin "Dear Jani Lane" and of course the recent Y2K1 smash hit "American Hair Band." The TUFF line up is fronted by Stevie Rachelle, along with Jack Aurora former axe slinger for Sister Whiskey (Warner Bros. Produced by: Dana Strum), drummer Tod "T" Burr (Ex. Substance D) and bassist Paul Jaeger who did a short stint with the Joey Vera Band (Armored Saint). Now you really care right?
BILLY MORRIS and his solo band are no strangers to the road. Billy has spent years touring with Warrant in support of Poison, Whitesnake, Dokken & Ratt. In addition he has played Japan, Korea, Spain, & Hawaii. Now he can support TUFF, what an accomplishment to add to the list (sarcasm mode turned off). A lead guitarist and also a vocalist, Billy released his self titled debut solo CD in 2004. The 12 track offering has had XM Radios spins, along with support from local and regional outlets that have helped to spread the word on Cleveland Ohio's bad boy of metal – Billy Morris. Billy recently played Jacobs Field after the Indians game in front of roughly 20,000 fans. A 20+ year veteran, he has also opened shows for solo artists Bret Michaels, Jani Lane, Donnie Vie (Enuff Z'nuff) and Paul Gilbert (Mr. Big, Racer X). Billy also can tell you road stories about touring with Warrant….no wait…Metal Sludge does that anyway. Oh well another reason.
FASTBACK is a mini super group of sorts. Okay, so maybe not a super group, but they are super, and ready to rock! What is their sound? Well, if you take some old LA Guns, early Faster Pussycat, throw in some Shotgun Messiah, and add in a bit of newer edge, and you get FASTBACK. Their debut "The Pain of Beauty" has gotten killer reviews and has current spins on XM Radio. Founded & fronted by singer/guitarist Michael Thomas (Ex. Beautiful Creatures, Adler's Appetite, Engines of Aggression) & Brian Saunders (Ex. Bang Tango, GIVE, Hair of the Dog) the band is virgin new to touring, but the players have already been to Japan, Europe and across America while playing rolls in a half dozen other National Recording acts. The band is rounded out with bassist Jamie Keane (NYC's Vexy Strut, Tattooed Millionaires) and drummer Tod "T" Burr (Drum whore extraordinaire).
SUGAR is an all girl band who recently completed work on their debut "11 After" which was produced by none other than Mr. Jani Lane (Warrant). He even talks about them in his recent BACK-4-MORE with Metal Sludge. Their sound can be best described as Joan Jett meets Lita Ford, or Vixen meets a poppier Betty Blowtorch (RIP Bianca). A rockin' in your face 80s sound with some bleach & tattoos to boot. A few of these girls made the rounds in the Midwest in the past as Cherry Bomb and all are seasoned pros who know their way around their instruments and the stage. The question is do they know their way around the… oops… sorry. with all respect we're sure they know a lot of ways around. It's up to you to come find out.
Be there. Bitches!!!
Metal Sludge

Can't wait to see all of you onboard!

Can't wait to see all of you onboard!
Michelle - it will be fantastic to finally meet you in person.
I'm so thrilled we got the FE distribution list this week. I already had an idea of what we were going to do, but now I know how many cabins we have and I can start working on everything. I'm on list #3 if anyone wants to meet virtually before we hit the ship.
I've been scouring the house looking for my latest version of Cruise Passporter - I know I bought it, but of course now that I need to do some reading, I can't find the dang thing! Luckily I have the electronic version, but DANG I like being able to read away from the computer.
Yay! I'm so glad to read that Michelle is going to be on the cruise!
2 months!! 2 months!! Just a bit excited!
Can you believe it's so close? We'll be at the Art of Animation on Oct 26th, then the Beach Club from Oct 27th until the cruise.
We only have to bring one gift per stateroom for the fish extenders, not one gift per day per room, correct?
Anyone else going to Lou's pre-cruise party the night before the cruise? Should be fun.
My girls are enjoying the penpal letters.
With the FE groups that I've been in previously we did only one gift per cabin, but some people do separate items for each person (or sometimes something special for the kids).
We're staying at Port Orleans Riverside pre and post cruise. We'll be at the party the night before as well.
Has anyone heard from their TA about arranging transportation from their resort (assuming you are staying on site pre-cruise)? When we paid off our balance my TA said to wait as she thought MEI would be arranging some sort of group rate but I haven't heard anything from her.
Never mind, got my answers! Can't wait to go!
Only one gift per stateroom. But in a few cases there were several adults on my list that have 2 last names in the same cabin. Since I don't know if those people are just cruising together or sharing a household, we are giving each a small gift. We are also giving something small for the kids.
This time we will be staying at the port before the cruise so not doing the pre-cruise party, but we did it last time and it was fun. So if you are already there you should go.
BTW - I believe you are in my fish extender group.
Sorry. I just have to say. We just found out that my cousin will be going down to my in-laws condo the week before the cruise and are able to take, not only our FE gifts, but possibly clothes as well! Money-saving
This will be our first cruise.I am reading everything that I possibly can. I was told to register on Disneycruise.com--which I did. I am still unable to do online checkin. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Really want to book acouple of things.I still don't know our boarding time or our cabin #. Can anyone advise please?
DisNMom - you should contact your Travel Agent to see what is not working for you when you try to sign in.
Thank you Pixarcutie. Iwill email her. We are so excited to meet everyone! We are planning door decorations. Have you e er done the banner/flag contest? Any advice from anyone?

text: Thank you for having the love and courage to take your dog with you on your new journey. Many people do not and wind up leaving their best friend behind to an unknown fate. Having had my full share of housing disasters in the CA real estate market I don't think I'd ever opt for a house/mortgage again. However, best of luck in your new venture with your little stone home. Some of us do manage to dodge the meteors life keeps throwing at us and I hope you fare very well indeed.

I know... its the worst! I went to Florida with my bfs family a few summers ago and we did Busch Gardens, Universal, Discovery Cove and the Disney Parks, and while my bf and his mom both love Disney, his brother thought they were the worst parks. We're going again this August and I'm almost not looking forward to it, since he's been making comments lately about rides, such as how they "wasted" time and effort on ToT by adding all the twilight zone stuff and all that "stupid stuff" before they drop you. He said it ruined the ride and that they should have just sticked to dropping people and not bored him with all the backstory and theming. He also said that the 40 minutes we waited in line at Expedition Everest was totally not worth it cause the ride didnt have any huge drops and didnt go upside down or anything. He clearly totally misses the point and for him the money should be spent on the thrill rather than the theming. It just makes me sad that I have to go spend time at my favorite place on earth with someone who doesnt enjoy it and who is going to complain about it the whole time
Just as a note, I do like the other parks... just... not even CLOSE to how much I love Disney (I watched the planning DVD today and cried cause it made me so happy haha... I have issues).

Texas A&M-Corpus Christi students honor MLK with march
CORPUS CHRISTI - Elementary school students marched past college students in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Thursday during the annual MLK March at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.
They made stops throughout the march to learn facts about the civil rights leader. Organizers said that if students learned one thing they would hope that they would learn that everything Dr. King did was about nonviolence.
The march is the university kickoff to Black History Month events and was organized by the Islander Cultural Alliance.
