West FL has the one count bowls 2 for $5. If you follow only one rule, let it be this one. Be yourself. The really strong relationships are based on what people really are, not on what they pretend to be.
Found $.55/1 peelies on Poptarts tonight, (exp 12/31/12) |
For those of you who get the Palm Beach Post delivered, keep an eye out for a small (4x6) booklet of Winn Dixie coupons. White, with Check Out Your $60 in Savings Inside on the cover. Don't see any x/xx total purchase coupons, just a variety of $1 off specific items, but a quick glance shows a few good ones. Gotta run hit CVS , but if anyone wants more details, pm me and I'll post the info in the chat thread.
I just noticed - isn't it odd that the Kleenex hand towels are on sale for $1.99 in the YAB, and on sale in the GAB 2 for $5? There appears to be only one size, so not sure how the same item can have two different prices in two different overlapping ads.
This is one of those products I would never ordinarily buy (glorified, more expensive paper towels if you ask me), but I grabbed a couple because it's a decent deal with the $.50 MQ (in LOD) and the $.75 TQ - ends up being 24 cents using the YAB price. If they charge you the GAB price, maybe you can get the Publix Promise! |
I bought 3 last night. I love these things. My store has been OOS or there has only been 1 when I have been there since the sale started. I think the slot only holds 8 or so there aren't many to start with. I went and checked my receipt and they rung up at $1.99 for me last night. Good to hear from you crabster!!! My Tena coupon arrived in the mail yesterday that was posted about in chat. It is a good one. Just thought you might want to know Crabbie!! |
Maybe a focused link [target.com] will help. |

There's a $0.50/2 coupon for the Carnation evaporated milk in the 9/30 RP - I think this is a good stock up price for these.
I'm a bit confused - I don't often buy frozen pies but I need to take some to my mom's house for Thanksgiving. I see this in the wiki: Frozen: Mrs. Smith's or Edwards Pie, 25.5 to 48 oz box, 50% off $1/1 Mrs Smith's Pie Printable $1.50/1 Mrs. Smith's Pie, any – 9/30/12 SS (exp 12/31/2012) B2G1 Marie Callender's Pies 28-45 oz - YAF - Give Thanks (exp 11/23/12) $1.50/2 Marie Callender's frozen pie 28 oz + AND Reddi Whip 6.5-7 oz, (Target coupon) printable [target.com] The one that is 50% off is Mrs. Smith - is there a reason the Marie Callender coupons are shown there also? I feel that I'm missing an essential piece of this deal as B2G1 plus a 50% off sale would be a fantastic deal, not to mention the Reddi Whip thrown in. I would gladly fill my freezer with pie at that price and serve it for dinner for the next month! Does anyone know the price of Marie Callender's? I did buy the Mrs. Smith with the $1.50 coupon and they are $6.99 - $3.49 (50%) - $1.50 = $2.00. Any opinions on which brand is better? Last edited by amcc; 11-19-2012 at 06:18 AM.. |

W. Young's frosh big on national stage
December, 17, 2010
Scott Powers | ESPNChicago.com
Scott Powers, ESPNChicago.comWhitney Young freshman Paul White played inside and out while scoring 11 points against Perspectives on Thursday.
CHICAGO -- Thursday's ESPNU telecast of Perspectives-Whitney Young wasn't supposed to be about showcasing freshman Paul White, but he made it that way.
Facing the No. 2 player in the country in Kentucky recruit Anthony Davis in a nationally-televised game, White took advantage of his opportunity and proved he belongs in the conversation of the best freshmen in the country.
White, a 6-foot-7 guard, played everywhere from the point guard to the post while scoring 11 points from inside and out, grabbing a few rebounds, blocking one of Davis' shots and throwing down a monstrous fastbreak dunk in No. 8 Whitney Young's 76-47 win over Perspectives on Thursday at Chicago State in the Nike High School Hoops Madness.
"It was fun to play on national TV," White said. "You rarely get this chance, especially as a freshman. I have to take every opportunity that I can get."
To not only play well before a massive audience, but do it against Davis, gave credence to White's performance. He wasn't afraid to drive right at the 6-10 Davis or get up right on him on defense. In the third quarter, Davis elevated for a baseline jumper, and White directed it back at him.
"I don't really get nervous when it comes to games like this," White said. "I'm not really scared of people like that. I'll take on anyone I need to."
ESPN recruiting coordinator Reggie Rankin took notice.
"I love his athletic ability, business-like approach and upside," Rankin said.
[+] Enlarge
Scott Powers/ESPNChicago.comPerspective forward Anthony Davis, a Kentucky recruit, had 15 points, 13 rebounds, four steals and three blocks against Whitney Young on Thursday.
"Paul White's one of the top players in the country in his class," Slaughter said. "I think a lot of times people when they see Jahlil they kind of forget about Paul White. If you talk about it from a national perspective, Paul White is a top-10 player in the country.
"I have to believe as people see him more and more they will recognize the level of his game. I think at the end of the day people will know what he does."
While his Perspectives' teammates were out-matched by Whitney Young on Thursday, Davis displayed the overall game that took him from being an unknown to nationally renowned this summer.
Davis finished with 15 points, 13 rebounds, four steals and three blocks.
"I can't wait to see Anthony Davis on the floor will all the talent next year at Kentucky," Rankin said. "He must get ready for teams to gang up on him. He needs to stay focused and keep attaching."
Despite the lopsided score and Whitney Young focuses completely on Davis, he didn't show any frustration. He stayed positive and continued to try to motivate his teammates.
"It's been really tough," Davis said. "We haven't been playing to our abilities. I'm not trying to be frustrated. I'm trying to keep everything quiet and calm. I think we can still turn it around. It's a long season left."
Ohio State recruit Sam Thompson led the way for the Dolphins with 20 points. Okafor (seven points), Kwai Pearson (eight points) and Hamilton (seven points) contributed in the win.

P.J. Jacobsen Continuing To Promote Races In America While Competing In British Superbike Championship
© 2015, Roadracing World Publishing, Inc. From a
press release
issued by P.J. Jacobsen's publicist
American racer P.J. Jacobsen (99) in action on his Tyco Suzuki GSX-R1000 British Superbike.
Thanks to video conferencing, social networking, and the Internet, you can virtually be in two places at once. And that is exactly what racer PJ Jacobsen is doing.
While racing with Tyco Suzuki in the British Superbike Championship, PJ is lending his expertise and experience to continue two race series he participated in while still in the States.
The F150 4-Hour Endurance race will continue for a third season at OVRP in Cuddebackville [New York] this year. This race has earned national attention and has been growing every year as a great "racers' race." It has been a day of camaraderie, reunion, and remembrance among the racers who are able to participate.
The Dirtrack Oval Race at the Orange County Fair Speedway continues this year at the Fairgrounds in Middletown, NY. This race features motorcycles, quads, slingshots, and legend cars in short heat races that always excite the crowd.
PJ said, "Most of the work is communicating and organizing. Skype lets me be in touch with my sponsors and team in America. I can get the word out to the racers who have been supporting these two series through social media. These races are a great way to promote the sport in my home region, and my promotion is a great opportunity to bring racers together to compete."
Both series attracted racers from across the country last year. Having these chances to race is a bonus for the venues, the racers, and the sport in general.
PJ adds, "Thank you to my personal sponsors who help make these events possible. Special thanks to REV'IT for providing some T-Shirts as prizes for the F150. Also to Nathan from DesignStars3 and Dennis from Teterboro RAMS and MOB Racing who are providing money for cash prizes."
REV' IT! will additionally provide a pair of REV'IT! riding gloves autographed by PJ Jacobsen to be used as a prize at the F150 races.
Help PJ keep racing alive in New York by supporting these two great series. For more information or to download the brochure, visit

Saint Spotlight
What do the College Mascot and the Baltimore Orioles Have in Common?
Answer: Mike Franz, Holy Cross College class of 2016
By Maureen McDonald '15
Michael Franz is a junior communications major and sports management minor who shares a passion for Holy Cross College as well as the Baltimore Orioles. Despite his incognito role on campus as "Basil the Saint Bernard", his passion of supporting the Saints is evident both inside and outside the costume. This summer, Mike had the opportunity to work for the Baltimore Orioles as Event Staff. His duties were varied, including tasks from scanning tickets to ensuring the attendees conduct was under control.
One day, Mike hopes to either be a writer for the Orioles or to be a sports columnist in the Baltimore area. He believes that the top three skills he has gained while at Holy Cross are public speaking, time management, and persistence, which have all been professionally utilized in his job with the Orioles. This upcoming summer, he will be continuing with the Orioles as part of their event staff.
Currently, Mike is involved at Holy Cross as the mascot "Basil the St. Bernard" and as a Sports Information Intern for the Saints Athletic Department. Mike stated that his Holy Cross experience helped him with gaining his position because of the various communication skills that he has learned while attending. Mike's advice to his fellow Saints looking for a job and/or an internship is "Explore. Don't settle on the first thing you find: it could be too easy. Challenge yourself and find one that is a little more difficult because ultimately it will make you a better individual."

Have you ever had a dream where it was so detailed, and long, that it was almost like a free movie? Well, I know I do! And I love em, if i can remember any of the dream at all, I keep a log of it, If you would like, share your "Free movies".
Here is my latest one:
I am somewhat of an archaeologist, that works to find dinosaur bones. I am near a small town, has a train station, a small setup of buildings, shops, and apartments/hotels. While working, I am sitting in a small computer chair near one of my excavations. I have found some bones of a Velocia Raptor. As I am working, I notice something shiny out of the corner of my eye. I look and notice the thing I found shiny, was a fang, attacked to a mouth, of a Raptor, a live Raptor. Quickly I jump up on my chair, as the thing stares at me, looking me up and down. I look up, and find a tree branch within range, so I grab it. The Raptor charges at me, mouth open, exposing rows of deadly fangs. As its running at me, i stick my feet under the arms of the chair, and raise it up, blocking the Raptor's bite with the back of it. The Raptor tries time and again to get me, but i swing on the branch and hit it back with my chair. The Raptor sees a passer-by and decides to go after her since it can't get me. The woman is brutally killed, and I drop the chair, and swing over to the nearest building, which isn't far really. As I reach the building, I grab a wooden plank stickin out towards me, and hang on, so the Raptor can't get me. I see some nails that I could stand on, so I pull out me knife and loosen them a bit. I then begin to climb the building, which is an apartment building. I climb up to the floor of my father's friend's balcony, and yell at him saying there's a Dinosaur. But of course, he doesn't believe me, and funnily enough, the thing comes charging through his door, and attacks him. He wrestles with it, and eventually they fall off the balcony, which is about 5 stories. As my father's friend fell, I grabbed his hand, and he almost took me with him, while the Raptor fell to the ground and twitched before dying. Later, my father's friend is standing in front of a train, which is about to leave, and hes holding something like a postcard. On it it says "Thanks _____(I had a different nme in the dream, but couldn't remember), you're the best". He got on the train, and left me to save the town. When the train will return, noone knows, it is our only way out of the town, and it seems I was left with the job of protecting who remains alive, from the next attacks.
This was somewhat more of a short story I guess, but it was my most recent dream, and sounds more like a prelude to a bigger story, maybe I'll have another dream about the next part ;P

ECB fights deflation danger with negative rates
Published on Jun 5, 2014 8:12 PM
FRANKFURT (AFP) - The European Central Bank on Thursday entered into uncharted territory in its battle against deflation, taking one of its key interest rates into negative territory for the first time.
The ECB said in a statement that it is lowering all three of its key interest rates, which have been on hold at record lows all this year.
The bank's decision-making governing council voted to lower the central refi refinancing to 0.15 per cent from 0.25 per cent previously.
The interest rate on the marginal lending facility was trimmed to 0.40 per cent from 0.75 per cent.

Joseph Nye: Do Presidents Really Steer Foreign Policy?
Joseph S. Nye Jr. is a University Distinguished Service Professor at Harvard. This article and the accompanying sidebar are adapted from his upcoming book, Presidential Leadership and the Creation of the American Era.The 21st century began with an extraordinary imbalance in world power. The United States was the only country able to project military force globally; it represented more than a quarter of the world economy, and had the world's leading soft-power resources in its universities and entertainment industry. America's primacy appeared well established.Americans seemed to like this situation. In the 2012 presidential campaign, both major-party candidates insisted that American power was not in decline, and vowed that they would maintain American primacy. But how much are such promises within the ability of presidents to keep? Was presidential leadership ever essential to the establishment of American primacy, or was that primacy an accident of history that would have occurred regardless of who occupied the Oval Office?

Mercer MOOOOves Mountains with Heifer International!
During the month of March in 2013, the students and staff at Mercer Elementary School in Shaker Heights, Ohio, began a campaign to raise money and awareness for Heifer International and its mission to end world poverty and hunger.
With the values the students are learning as an International Baccalaureate World School to "help create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect"*, Mercer hoped to raise enough money to buy animals for a needy village in a developing country.
The students raised money through earnings. Simple chores and "entrepreneurial endeavors" provided a way for students to give back and to learn the true meaning of giving. This was a student-driven fundraiser. Mercer students brainstormed ways to raise money individually and in groups. The students learned through research and dialogue about the many ways they could make a difference in the world and how to be responsible global citizens. The students learned how the purchase of a single animal can provide a chance at independence and sustainability and can empower individuals, families, communities and entire regions of the developing world.
The Heifer Project got underway with a challenge. The first $500 raised not only bought a cow for a needy family, but our school principal dressed up in a cow costume when the goal was met! The many acts of generosity, selflessness and effort provided a grand total donation to Heifer International of $1,400. The 4th graders held an all-school election and Mercer students voted on buying one cow, one water buffalo, one pig, two goats, two sheep, a flock of chickens and some honeybees! The excitement and dedication to the Heifer Project has ended, but Mercer students and staff continue to be committed to changing the world for the better. One animal at a time!
*From the mission statement of The International Baccalaureate Organization
The end of hunger isn't a fairy tale
Welcome to the Heifer family. Donors, volunteers, recipients and our teams around the world share a common goal: To end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way. It's a lofty goal, but we know it's achievable. Together we are the family that can create this change.
Together we can make cows fly
See stories of how lives are being transformed around the globe through Heifer's work in more than 40 countries.
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Layla
Layla generously shared this photo of what a world without hunger looks like to her. This artwork was inspired by the generous Flock of Hope, bees, one goat and Send a Girl to School donations made on behalf of Layla and her brother. To Vicki and Ken, the lovely donors who gave Heifer International gifts during the 2014 holiday season, Heifer thanks you from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you, too, Layla for taking the time to share your drawing with Heifer.
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Téa
When Téa dreams of a world without hunger, she envisions a peaceful, happy cow enjoying her pasture. Thank you for sharing your vision with Heifer International, Téa!
What Came First--the Chicken or the Egg?
"We are sending Heifer International chickens so you can send eggs. I guess what we learned is that it doesn't matter if the egg came first or last. What matters is that they learned they can do something to make the world a better place than the world which they have known."
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Eli
Eli's artwork arrived with this note: "I hope you're happy!" Knowing that someone donated in your name, Eli, has definitely made that donation all the sweeter. Thank you for supporting Heifer International!
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Elicia
My Aunt made a donation in my name as a Christmas present. She knows I like to draw, so thought I should enter the contest to be featured on next year's card! It's so important to help people feed themselves in the long term. Thank you for having a wonderful vision! - Elicia H.
Joyful Noise
"We excitedly share the amount of a 'Gift Ark' from our 'Joyful Noise' collection! Our congregation supports us as we learn to be God's servants by our participation in the church service with the collection of their coins once a month. We use this offering as an on-going service project to help those in need. Thank you for accepting our gift to support your mission! The children of Glossbrenner United Methodist Church"
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Audra
For Christmas, Audra's grandparents donated a hive of bees in her honor. When Audra sent Heifer International her drawing, she included the note that her grandparents had written to her. A portion of their sweet note reads, "This is from us to you and you to them. Now that family is lucky, too." To Audra and her grandparents: Your generous, giving spirits mean so much to everyone at Heifer but, most importantly, they mean everything to the recipients of your donation. Together, we have power over poverty.
Once There Was and Was Not
"The young ladies in my 4th and 5th grade Sunday School class raised this money as a Fall project at Charity UMC. We did a modified Read to Feed program using the book Once There Was and Was Not. The girls hosted a lasagna dinner on November 12th and distributed Arks to the adult Sunday school classes. The girls were very enthusiastic about the project and got the church behind them. They did presentations on Sunday morning and to the adult classes. Thank you for all you do to make the world a better place."
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Sarah
"Hello, This was drawn by my 10-year old daughter, Sarah. We've 'received' the Heifer gift for many years from my best friend, Andrew. This is the first year that Sarah truly understands the benevolence of what Heifer International is all about. Thank you! David S."
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Kairi
Many thanks to Kairi, one of Heifer International's young supporters, for the beautiful artwork!
A Llama for Christmas
About mid-December Heifer International received a generous donation from New Freedom in Christ Church, located in South Dakota. Along with their donation, they included the featured photo and the following letter. We hope you find it as inspiring as we did!
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Caitlin
What does Caitlin see when she pictures a world without hunger? A happily roaming cow. We fully agree with your vision, Caitlin! Thank you for sharing your artwork with everyone at Heifer International and all of our supporters.
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Franchesca
This kid-friendly honor card artwork was submitted by Franchesca, a 2nd grade support of Heifer International's mission. As a result of her family's generous donation of three goats, Franchesca wanted us to know that this is what she envisions is a world without hunger--a leaping, happy horse. Thank you for sharing your drawing with Heifer International, Franchesca!
Letters from a Sunday School Class
After several months, the 4th - 6th grade Franklin Christian Church Sunday School class reached their fundraising goal! Along with their donation, they sent Heifer International the featured letters thanking Heifer for the work we do. We so impressed by your dedication, Franklin Christian Church, so we thank you for the hard work and dedication to Heifer's mission!
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Garet
We received Garet's artwork submission with the following statement: "I donated because it was a nice thing to help someone who needs it." A simple and sweet quote that sums up Heifer International's mission in the purest form. Thank you for submitting your artwork, Garet!
How a "Free Flower" Stand Raised Funds for Heifer
When Heifer International received Nate's letter detailing his fundraising experience, we knew we had to share it with our community of donors.
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Patrich
Patrich, a 6th grade student, believes that a world without hunger could be similar to this scene. We at Heifer International think it would be awesome if everyone on the planet was able to indulge in a cookie. Thank you for sharing your artistic talents with us, Patrich!
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Michael Henry
Michael Henry, a 5th grade supporter of Heifer International, drew this fantastic depiction of what Heifer gifts mean to him. We, too, believe that a world without hunger would look similar to this scene. Anyone fighting hunger is a superhero in Heifer's eyes!
IgnitionCo: A Charitable Apparel Company
It's always exciting for Heifer International when we learn about the creative ways our donors are raising funds for our mission. When we caught wind of the innovative fundraising IgnitionCo was pursuing, we had to learn more. Matt Blaisdell, one of a team of three alongside Seth Anthony and Julie Moretti, generously volunteered his time to answer a few questions about their pursuits.
Grandparents Make an Impact on their Grandsons
My sons had given a flock of chicks to Heifer International on behalf of their grandmother because she would tell them stories about how she raised chicks on the farm she grew up on in NW Iowa. It brought a huge smile to her face to know that her stories impacted the boys and she was honored by the thoughtful gift. This Christmas the boys have again decided giving through Heifer is a good idea. This time they are giving on behalf of their grandpa. He helped them save a duckling that had fallen into our window well. They named it Oscar and fed it bugs until we could secure a home for it. Now they are donating a flock of ducks and are excited to share this gift with their Grandpa Bob. I appreciate how Heifer helps teach my children not only the value of animals, but how great giving to others feels. Thank you!
Birthday Bees
Brooke, an 8th grade homeschool student, was recently assigned a community service project with her Civics class. About 4 years ago her family began raising bee colonies, so she decided to take this idea further and fundraise for bees through Heifer International!
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Allyson
When most people think of a child's Christmas wishlist, they envision lists of toys and games and clothing. While Allyson may have written those items on her Christmas wishlist, she included a unique and awesome request: that an animal be sent to a needy family in Africa. When a close family friend saw this request on her list, they immediately thought of Heifer International.
A Stamping Group Gets Creative
Our stamping group made Heifer International our project for fund raising this year through the First United Methodist Church of Loomis, CA. We decided that we would like to buy a cow for Heifer. However, the goal of raising $500 was larger than we had done in the past. We worked diligently and made enough packets of handmade Christmas cards and, along with selling individual cards as well, were able to raise the necessary funds! We are very proud to be able to bring happiness and support to a needy family who will benefit from your wonderful organization. Thank you for this opportunity to be of help.
What Heifer Gifts Mean to Colin
This adorable drawing was submitted by Colin, a young Heifer supporter in New Jersey. We want to thank you for taking the time to share your view of Heifer International with us, Colin!
Dang Hong Thuy from Vietnam
Thuy received the gift of geese and they have been a perfect match on her small farm. The training she received provided essential knowledge in their care.

Returning home doesn't always mean returning to a normal life for military service members who have spent months - or longer - under the stress of living and working in a combat zone.
Knowing what to expect and what to look for can help family members ease the transition back to life at home for veterans - and themselves.
Prevention and early intervention are keys to achieving and maintaining good mental health.

Many people, including other veterans, are going through similar challenges as you are:
Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD)
The impact of combat stress lingers long after coming home. If your veteran family member has trouble sleeping, mood swings, jumpiness or memory loss, he or she may be dealing with post-traumatic stress (PTSD). Withdrawal - avoiding big public events or family gatherings - may be a sign of combat stress and unsociability. Increased drinking or drug use may also be a symptom of PTSD.
Changes in behavior caused by post-traumatic stress disorder may leave family members feeling alienated, angry or depressed. It's important to seek out treatment and support services for family members, as well as the veteran.

JAPAN'S PLANS: Tokyo's fashion week doesn't kick off for another couple months but organizers are already releasing some teasers about what is come for the shows, which run March 17 through March 23.
Vivienne Tam will stage a special show and possibly also host a party sometime during the week. This season's line up will also include Versus Tokyo, an all-night music and fashion event that will be semi open to the public. Versus participants will include several up-and-coming men's labels such as Phenomeon, Mr. Gentleman and C.E., a brand that was started by veterans of A Bathing Ape (BAPE) and Billionaire Boys Club.
Meanwhile, fashion week sponsor Mercedes Benz is bringing Dutch designer Conny Groenewegen to show in Tokyo as part of an exchange program. Earlier this month, Yu Amatsu of the Japanese brand A Degree Fahrenheit staged a show during Berlin Fashion Week.

St Helens beat Hull KR 38-18 to go a point clear at the top of the First Utility Super League after their fourth straight win.
Rovers - still without a win this season - held Saints 12-12 at the break but conceded five tries after the interval, with Adam Swift turning in a man-of-the-match display.
Swift led the way with two tries for the hosts and also created another for captain Jon Wilkin.
Saints, who opened the campaign with impressive wins over Warrington, Hull and Salford, handed giant Samoan Mose Masoe his debut off the bench.
The 24-year-old former Penrith Panthers prop, who had been sidelined following ankle surgery after being injured during the World Cup, played 30 minutes in two spells after his long lay-off.
Rovers would have grabbed an early lead had Ben Cockayne been able to take a pass from Greg Eden after a mistake by Alex Walmsley, which earned an angry rebuke from Luke Walsh.
But then Walsh spilled the ball, only for Rovers full-back Eden to throw a wild pass from the scrum which was snapped up by Swift to race over after six minutes.
Walsh tagged on the conversion and his well-judged high kick to the corner almost brought another score for Tommy Makinson, who just failed to touch down despite an acrobatic dive.
Rovers were under the cosh and they conceded a second try after Swift sent Jonny Lomax away and the full-back dummied Eden to make it 12-0 with Walsh booting the touchline conversion.
Wheeler could have extended Saints' lead but failed to take Lance Hohaia's pass after Rovers had been ripped apart down their right flank.
Sandercock's men hit back, though, with Poore and Eden going close before Hohaia had a try correctly disallowed by referee Tim Roby.
Then it was Rovers' turn to be disappointed when Liam Salter's effort was ruled out after a smart tap-back by Craig Hall from Kris Keating's kick.
Referee Roby waited almost half an hour before awarding the first penalty and, although Rovers failed to find touch, they did cross for their opening try from Kevin Larroyer following smart play by James Green.
Biggest cheer
Burns added a difficult conversion with Masoe earning the biggest cheer of the night making his eagerly awaited bow nine minutes before the break.
Action man Josh Hodgson tore down the middle and his industry would have brought a reward if Hall had taken his pass.
But Rovers deservedly drew level 12-12 at the break with Jordan Turner moving out of the Saints line too fast for Cockayne to send Eden over for a converted try with an inside pass.
Saints regained the lead eight minutes after the restart with Alex Walmsley crashing over from short range to make it 18-12.
Masoe, clearly showing signs of fatigue after his lay-off, was substituted before Swift bagged his second try created by Wilkin and Lomax.
Walsh set up two tries in three minutes for Sol Soliola and Makinson with teasing kicks to stretch the lead to 32-12.
Wheeler blew another chance with his second handling error before Masoe returned for his second spell 12 minutes from time - with Swift jumping high to put Wilkin over from another Walsh kick.
The impressive Hodgson caught Saints napping to dart over from a quickly taken tap penalty to make the scoreline more respectable.
Rovers finished with 12 men with Burns sin-binned for a blatant obstruction on Wilkin before Paul Wellens had a try disallowed.

Last summer, I embarked on a journey half way across the world to the West African country of Ghana. I lived, breathed and embraced the Ghanaian culture and lifestyle for four weeks, teaching, learning, helping and growing along the way.
When I left Busua, I knew I wanted to return as soon as possible mainly because of the many wonderful people of Ghana whose warm welcomes, clever handshakes and vibrant personalities embraced me with open arms and seemed to say, "Welcome to my home."

I like to believe I have a lot of control over my own happiness. Sometimes I think this is good. Other times, I think it is naive.
It's good because I don't think there is anything wrong with being a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" kind of gal. I also think truly believing that I can pull myself through the dark times is instrumental in actually making it happen.
It's naive because…well…sometimes I can't.
Because obviously there are a lot of things that happen to a person that are outside of our control. And there are a lot of things that happen inside of a person's head that can negatively affect happiness beyond the limits of our control.
And when I fail at controlling and activating my own happiness, then there's an added layer of, "Well, why can't you just fix it?"
You know how people with severe depression always comment on how pushy relatives or well-meaning folks will tell them to "just get over it," but they really truly can't and telling them to try just makes things worse? Sometimes I think I am my own pushy relative.
Anyway. That was a long way of saying that, while I feel fine now (promise!), recently I was in a low place. And in an effort to pull myself out of it, I started making a list of all the things I could do to make my life better.
And, what LUCK, I also have about a week of working from home ahead of me, so I will have more time to tackle projects. Hooray! Here's brief recap to keep me accountable:
1. Streamline!
We're planning to move apartments in April. To help simplify the process, I want to start whittling down our belongings now. I'm planning to clean out (and properly organize):
– The linen closet
– The front closet
– The trunk at the foot of the bed
– The file cabinet
I truly believe that getting rid of tangible clutter helps me clear my mind. Is that weird?
2. Finish decor projects
A few weeks ago, I purchased a new rug for the living room (because my roommates have destroyed the cream and brown rug we have now). I'm also planning to sell our green accent chair and get a navy one, plus rearrange the frames on the walls. I might also rearrange some furniture. Who knows? Things are getting crazy!
More on this later. Because I'm a terrible tease.
Anyone else planning on crossing a few things off the to-do list over the holidays? Am I the only one who derives deep personal satisfaction from crossing things off to-do lists?
Like most people who grew up in the '80s/'90s, I have a memory box or two squirreled away in random corners of the apartment. I'm leaving the most recent generation out of that generalization because, honestly, I have no idea what kids do to preserve memories anymore. I would say SnapChat, but "saving" is literally the opposite of the purpose of SnapChat.
Actually, I take that back. Every generation hoards something. The '90s babies and *shudder* people born in a year where the fourth number is a zero are probably stockpiling caches of ticket stubs and magazine articles too.
The one thing that I doubt they have nearly so many of, though? Notes.
And, yes, I did notice that one of those notes has the word "boob" on it. THISISMIDDLESCHOOLPEOPLE.
Even I was surprised at how many notes and letters I found in my memory box. I mean, it makes sense — this was before texting. (I KNOW I'M OLD OKAY.) If something happened in first period homeroom that you just could not wait to tell your BFF on the bus ride home, you would discretely pass a note through the clarinet section during band practice. Or something. Hypothetically.
After unfolding, re-reading, and then carefully refolding the notes (we were origami champs, y'all), I felt a wave of nostalgia that made me a little sad for kids today. And a little sad for myself for using the phrase "kids today." Today's tweens aren't going to scroll through pages of old texts. And even if they did, it would be 60% emoji anyway. And while I love an emoji myself, a pair of dancing twins is never going to compare with a handscrawled note from your bestie telling you her life would just END without you.
The next generation of twenty-somethings won't be able to sift through handwritten letters and (at times even more novel) printed photographs. In my memory box I found all of the following — and more:
1. Two love letters (rated whatever comes before G…this was middle school in the '90s, after all)
2. Pictures of my first serious crush
3. A ticket stub for when I saw The Notebook in theaters (the first time)
4. A purchased photo from my eighth grade graduation dance
5. Every graduation/baptism card I ever received
6. Every letter Jackie dal Broi sent to me after I moved from California (that is LOVE, guys)
7. Both of my solo contest pins from the days of playing the flute (so maybe that band practice anecdote wasn't so hypothetical)
8. The expertly folded notes shown above (and a few not-so-expertly folded others)
You guys. MEMORIES. I actually opened the box with the intention of consolidating it into another box, so I ended up tossing a few things. Pour one out for all those grad cards that someone just stuffed a check into and signed. (I saved the real letters with real emotions. I'm not a robot.)
Do you have a memory box hidden somewhere? What would you guess is the weirdest thing in it? If you say "a ticket stub from when I saw The Notebook," we just became best friends.
The California trip continues!
I'll be the first to say that you should spend as much time in Big Sur as you can. As the name implies, it's big. There are several state parks, plenty of places to camp or stay overnight, and so many incredible vistas that you could probably fill a week at least with to-dos. Our schedule, though, only had time for one day in Big Sur, so we did our best to make the most of it.
Tip: Print out paper directions to anything definitely want to see. Cell service is nonexistent through most of the drive, so you won't be able to rely on a GPS.
Tuesday night, we drove from San Francisco to the Mariposa Inn & Suites in Monterey. The hotel was simple and clean, with a pool and a free breakfast in the morning. The next morning, we set out early to begin our trek.
Tip: Make sure you start out with a full tank of gas. There are loooong stretches on Highway 1 with exactly zero gas stations — the last thing you want is to get stuck with an empty tank. One full tank should get you the whole way through Big Sur, though.
First stop was Big Sur Bakery, which had been recommended to me by pretty much every person I told I was going to Big Sur. We got breakfast (eggs and greens on toast), but I've been told the dinner is also excellent.
Tip: This is also the last place to get good espresso before you get lost in the wilderness, so take advantage of the bustling coffee bar. I would also recommend getting a few baked goods for the road. (We opted for a pumpkin scone and a maple baon bowtie.)
After fueling up, we started our drive. There were a couple of things we wanted to see for sure (included below), but the main thing I would like to impress upon you is the importance of just stopping a lot and taking in your surroundings. This place? It is BEAUTIFUL. Like, stupid beautiful. You won't even be able to believe it. It helped that we had the world's most perfect weather, of course, but regardless, I truly believe California is the most gorgeous place on earth. Get OUT of the car and take it IN. Be the corny tourist on the side of the road taking deep breaths of the morning air and snapping a photo or two. It's worth it.
Ok, now for the specifics. Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park was one of my favorite stops. There are two must-see hikes here, both starting from the parking lot.
Tip: Do not park in the parking lot unless you like paying $20 for no reason. Park on the main road with everyone else who is not a tourist (for free) and walk down to the trail.
First up, McWay Falls. You've probably seen this shot a billion times from either movies or your West Coast friends' Instagram feeds, but it is still 100 percent worth seeing in person. I mean, LOOK AT THAT WATER.
The trail also barely qualifies as a hike — it's short, totally flat, and can be done in flip flops. For something a bit more adventurous, hit up the Ewoldsen Trail on the opposite end of the parking lot. This will take you through redwood groves, over streams, and up some serious height if you feel industrious. The full trail is a little over five miles, but you can go as far as you like. If you're in for the long haul, I'd recommend legitimate hiking boots and a backpack with water and snacks.
One thing that we were not expecting but LOVED? An elephant seal rookery. Hundreds of these animals flock to this beach to sun themselves, sleep, and mate every year, and it was pretty incredible to see in person. And not just because they reminded us an awful lot of a certain lazy dog we adore. Definitely worth joining the crowd ooh-ing and ah-ing over the seals.
After the seals, we started to head inland to Paso Robles where our hotel was. The downside was that we couldn't see the water anymore. The upside is that we accidentally found ourselves in wine country! And, you guys. This country was so beautiful we almost couldn't take it. The rolling hills and golden vineyards literally look painted on. We may have made a few more stops for photos. (And, okay, a wine tasting at Zenaida Cellars. We're only human!)
We ended the night with dinner in nearby San Luis Obispo at a place called Novo with a really pretty back deck.
All in all, this was our favorite day of the trip. (Not counting time spent with family, of course!) And even though it feels like we packed a lot into the day, I love knowing that we could go back again and do completely different things.
Here are a few things we could have done but didn't have time to do:
Hearst Castle
My dad had actually mentioned this place when I was first soliciting for activity ideas, but I didn't look into it enough at the time. Basically, William Randolph Hearst was a SUPER rich man who wanted to build an American castle that would rival the European versions. And, I've only seen pictures, but I think it's safe to say he succeeded. You can tour the estate, but reservations are highly recommended. If I went again, I would book the night tour when docents dress in period clothing and you get to see the most of the castle.
Tip: Hearst also collected a pretty impressive menagerie of animals that he kept in a personal zoo and allowed to roam the grounds. Most of the animals were sent to zoos when the fortune dried up, but you can still see a small herd of zebras grazing along the highway — keep a sharp eye out!
Nepenthe Restaurant
I had actually planned to stop here for lunch, but I got my directions mixed up and it ended up being right by Big Sur Bakery. If you've done the bakery before, though, this place looks pretty awesome. The lunch seating is arranged stadium style next to this huge overlook so you can take in the view while you eat, and it has been run by the same family for three generations.
Have any of you been to Big Sur? Did you do something we didn't? Give me ideas for our next trip in the comments!
Since our California Adventure spanned nine days and basically the entire state, I figured it would be easier to break down the trip into areas. It will also make it more useful for anyone who is not exploring the entire state at once. (Thought I do recommend that if you have the opportunity.)
We spent the first day and a half of our trip with my brother and his family. They live near Sacramento, so we saw a bit of their 'hood as well as the Berkeley area. The highlight was a lunch at Easy Creole, where the kind folks will let you sample six of their menu selections before you make your final choice.
Tip: Spring the extra $2 for the corn bread. It's gluten-free, and oh-so worth it.
Monday morning, we kissed the fam goodbye and headed into the city.
Tip: Give yourself an hour longer than you think you will need when traveling on a week day. It took us an hour JUST to get through the tolls into the city. AN HOUR. I was climbing the walls of the car by the time we got through.
Joey had never been to SF, so I had planned out a day of the finest touristy options the city has to offer. First up, Sears Fine Food for the "world-famous" Swedish silver-dollar pancakes. We also split the veggie omelet so we'd have enough energy to get through our busy day. Both were delicious.
Next up, we popped into Walgreens to purchase a visitor one-day pass, which you can use on almost all of the public transportation (cable cars included). Then we grabbed a cable car heading toward Ghirardelli Square.
Tip: Try to get on at one of the first stops on the line. These little cars fill up very quickly, and people WILL cut the line. You have to be New Yorker aggressive.
We hopped off the cable car at Lombard Street to see the crookedest street in the world. You're also treated to a pretty spectacular view of the city.
From there, it was time to head to the Golden Gate bridge.
Tip: Take the bus. There is very little parking by the bridge, and the bus is actually pretty simple. Plus, it's covered by your visitor's pass.
I wasn't truly aware of how spectacular the weather was until we got to the bridge. The water looks so blue next to the bridge (which is actually red, fun fact). We took a million pictures in the nearby park and then walked about halfway across. (We wanted to get back to the city before sunset.)
A quick bus trip back brought us to Ghirardelli Square, where we just strolled along the coast making our way to Pier 39 because the ONE thing Joey really wanted to do was see the sea lions. Fisherman's Wharf was predictably crowded, but the weather was great, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. We split a crab sandwich and enjoyed the views. And the sea lions did not disappoint.
Finally, we took the bus back to our hotel (the cable cars are impossible to get on from that end unless you want to wait an hour and a half), freshened up, and then went to dinner at Lolinda, an Argentinian steakhouse. Several people had recommended it to me as their favorite restaurant in SF, so we were excited to try it. And, you guys? So. Good. The food is served tapas-style, and we had four small plates, a large plate, and steak between the two of us. Plus two desserts because when they have banana bread pudding and peanut butter mousse, THAT IS THE RIGHT DECISION.
The second day, I worked in my company's San Francisco office. (After a workout at Barry's Bootcamp through my ClassPass, of course! The instructor was basically Barry's Bootcamp Barbie, complete with anecdotes about her modeling gigs and her impending nose job. Oh, California!) Joey met up with me and my boss for lunch at Marlowe, which was SO GOOD. I highly recommend the brussel sprouts chips, baked cauliflower (it's basically mac and cheese with cauliflower instead of mac), and gingerbread cake. That cake. I will dream about that cake.
After work, Joey and I went to dinner at The House near Chinatown. Do not be fooled by that sad little website — this place is boss. I highly recommend the coconut creme brûlée. And the take-home cookies, of course. (This was basically the vacation of desserts, as you can tell.)
So that's how we spent two days in San Fran! It was pretty awesome, and the perfect weather didn't hurt one bit. Post-dinner, we headed to our hotel in Monterey to begin our day in Big Sur. More on that later.
So did I miss your favorite San Francisco treat? Share with the group in a comment below.
I'm not going to lie — there are a lot of days when I give Joey a lot of credit for staying married to me.
I mean, I'm annoying. Like, roll-your-eyes, is-she-serious annoying. I actually care about how things are arranged in the pantry, and I throw things out with wild abandon because the clutter gives me hives. But the man sticks around, God love 'im.
Case in point? I am very annoying to go on vacation with. Because I like to plan. But not just, like, plan-to-go-on-a-trip. PLAN.
Not only have I been working on a Google doc itinerary for our upcoming California trip for the last couple of months, not only do I plan to put together a binder of confirmations and maps (like I did for our Paris trip), but today I spent about an hour outfit planning. And then turning those plans into detailed packing lists.
Don't believe me?
Like I said. Annoying.
The one thing Joey can be grateful for? I am generally much more rational in person when I feel like I have my life together. AND these plans make it much less likely that I will overpack.
See, babe? Everyone wins!!
…please don't leave me.

Firefighters called to Parker Tech Seal Division
Gothenburg Volunteer firefighters showed up at Parker Tech Seal Division Thursday to extinguish smoldering material in a blower fan.
Second assistant fire chief Chris Brede said the call came at about 11:15 a.m. and when they arrived, smoke was coming out of the blower fan on top of a cyclone.
"Some fine rubber dust on the sides inside the blower was smoldering," Brede said noting that sensors at the plant set off sprinklers that were already dumping water into the fan. "We put a hose up there and doused the water on the smolder spots," he said.
Brede said no one was injured and there was little, if any, damage.
"It was pretty well contained," he said.
Firefighters were on the scene about an hour.
When they left, Brede said plant employees were getting ready to start up the blower fan.
Brede said the equipment sucks up dust from the cutting of rubber O rings which is what the company manufactures.

dennypic 5pts Interesting article, the new 2014 S550 is an impressive car. Hope I'll feel the same way after I get my brand new S550 2014, back from my dealership's service department. I had the car for two days before the warning light came on warning me to seek service because the passenger restraint / airbag system was inoperative. Hope mine isn't a lemon!
MediaCritiquer.com 5pts Lexus used to have a commercial. Country club members drove up in their high-end lux-mobiles. After a couple of stodgy Euro-mobiles, a young chap literally hopped out of his LS and was labelled as "smart." Fast forward a decade or two, and the 3 German luxury brands have all transformed into nimbler competitors with sleek new flagship models, including Audi and the A8 (which is the sleekest looking car in its class IMHO), and Lexus as devolved into a bloated Euro-wannabe of yesterday. Seriously - have you seen the LS lately? Firstly, there are few on the road. Secondly, they look generic, bloated and dull.
Brian McCauley 5pts The car is not offered with a 3.0L twin turbo V6 but a Eaton Supercharged 3.0L V6 at 333hp and 325tq. I have been an Audi sales person for 10 years now and cannot speak enough about how many eyes are being awakened by the A8 from current 7 and S class owners. It is truly a class leader that only the smart ones know about.
TheClassicCarFactory 5pts The A8 still does not have the feel of quality or panache of a 7 Series or S Class; there is something very VW about it I just can't put my finger on....but it's there.
SuperCarEnthusiast 5pts Badly written article. " Eight years later, I've just handed back the keys to the 2012 D4 that's been my daily driver for the past 12 months. " 2012-8 equals 2004!
BlackDynamiteOnline 5pts High on performance, low on cache/prestige compared to other Germans. Better interior than them too, which is balanced by the gaping hole in the face, which has no style.I think Car & Driver just finished their long-term report on one too. They had reliability issues that impressed them with their frequency....BD
davisdvm 5pts would really like to know how the adaptive cruise worked for you. It is spreading fast into all car lines and seems to be a real boon for long distance drivers (like me). especially in foggy conditions.
ZCD2.7T 5pts Just a gorgeous car - glad you enjoyed it.Even better, the 2013 sheds the NA 4.2L V-8 in favor of a twin-turbo 4.0L V-8 that's dramatically underrated at 420 hp. The new motor moves the straight-line performance into the realm of sports cars, with 0-60 in the low-to-mid 4s and a mid-12 second 1/4 mile. (!!!)
Niko Bell 5pts The 7 series looks like a bloated 5 series. The S Class is an outdated looking C class blown up. That is unacceptable, I respectfully disagree.
PC 5pts @RickELake I respectfully disagree!! I think the 7 series is one car BMW messed up. Audi A8 and jaguar XJ kicks it butt all day...I recently got my first AUDI...the only bimmer that brought a smile on my face was M3..thats how other BMW's should be...Anyway i drove the 7 series and did not like it....Drove the A/S8 was blown away...Drove the Jag and felt so special...Anyway my 2 cents....
adamlink 5pts Horse's d'ouevres. Your precious Toyota doesn't make a car that comes within spitting distance of this one.
jshaw31 5pts @ZCD2.7T Well, the similarly weighted BMW 550i xdrive with a 400hp V8 manages to match the A8 to 60. Either BMW is fudging a lot of HP, or Audi's engine isn't overrated. The gearboxes have the same ratios, except the Audi has a higher final drive, which is in the Audi's favor.
ZCD2.7T 5pts @jshaw31The 750xi (the real competitor) isn't quite as quick, and BMW rates their motor at 445hp vs a rated 420HP for the Audi. Both companies are sandbagging the true HP figures; BMW just isn't sandbagging as much.

We are planning a cruise to Alaska in August 2013. We would like to also visit some land sites; Denali, in particular. We are trying to decide whether to book a cruisetour or rent a car and travel the land portion independently. We are two 60-ish couples who have traveled in Europe independently. We don't particularly like the bus tour style of travel. However, we would do so if the travel between sites is more convenient and we still have the opportunity to have a wilderness experience. Thanks for any advice you can provide.
Cruisetour or Independent
4 Replies | Jump to last reply |

Independent would offer more freedom as well as price flexibility, especially to Denali. Cruise tour with the cruise line offer a comfort level that things will be looked after, and worry free when it comes to transfers, luggage etc.
Car rental is expensive in Alaska and must be booked way ahead in advance.
It all depends on which cruise tour you book. Typically they will get you there, stay at a lodge for a couple of nights, you take in soem activities there, they get you out. That's about it.
Which cruise line are you going with? -
Report Abuse
We took the cruisetour with HAL and were satisfied with it. It was mostly by train and we had good views and the accomodations were fine. For us older types now independent Alaska travel would be daunting.
Report Abuse
Never took the crusietour with HAL but I have heard from friends that they were well looked after. It tpically involve a scenic train ride, a wilderness tour and some options to do silly things like playing a round of golf or go fish. We were there years ago at late June and we teed off at midnight (9 hole course). I don't know if they still do the midnight golf thing.
Independent or cruise tour, you'll have fun either way.

POSTED: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 7:30pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - 7:34pm
NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Election year politics and national security collided in Washington Tuesday.
It's a fight between President Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder and Republicans.
After U.S. intelligence busted up the Al Qaeda plot to blow up an airliner with an underwear bomb in May news reports revealed a secret double agent was at the center of the operation.
A second leak revealed years of U.S. cyberattacks on Iran's nuclear program.
Republicans charge the White House made the leaks to help President Obama beat Mitt Romney.
In a Senate hearing Attorney General Eric Holder vowed a full probe by two of his best prosecutors.
That's not not good enough for Republicans.
They demand an outside prosecutor, and some want Holder out.
"While we have very serious problems, we're still involved in this political gamesmanship," Holder noted.
Holder says president obama backs him, and he has no intention of resigning.
The leak probes will go forward on his terms, while he goes into next week's battle with house republicans, who are threatening to find him in contempt for refusing to turn over details of the failed gun running operation known as "fast and furious".
Critics charge Holder wants that botched operation kept low key because it reflects poorly on President Obama.
