Winter White Spooky Girl Necklace Top. Hearts. Here, I'll show you how to make an origami heart out of a dollar.
There are many different patterns out there and this one is sometimes called change of heart. You'll need a dollar bill or any U.S. paper currency. For this video however I'm going to be using a piece of paper approximately twice the size of a dollar so you can see what's going on more clearly. Stalpless Paper. A Little Bit of College Ruled Genius By our friend and returning Yanko champion, Sherwood Forlee.
Check out the simplicity. List 3D. Page corner bookmark. Leaf Boquets. Little stars. Since the new year has started I've been trying to think of ways to be more kind to my self.
Especially when that nasty gremlins try to creep in and stump me. I remembered this origami star video on You Tube and had to get them involved in my plan. I thought it would be fun to make a whole bunch with kind words and "you are…." phrases inside. I made 60 of them, enough to last me the whole year if I open one a week, plus a few extra just in case. Rose. This D.I.Y Revolution will not be televised This D.I.Y revolution will not require you getting up at stupid o'clock and fighting your fellow man tooth and nail for paint and nails This D.I.Y revolution will not require giving up most of your weekend and crying about the flakes of paint in your hair This D.I.Y revolution will not feature Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen or any of the team from Extreme Makeover: Home edition* It will just require you – some card and scissors and you can get your homemade flowers on for full deets on this DIY teach get thee gone to Cardgirl Invitations and see the end result via Dozi Design as Wendy is the original genius behind these.

Productive play has consequences, a specific outcome, and goals other
than pure pleasure. It has a specific purpose, such as producing a
tangible thing, like a new and better widget, or playing tennis to win a
tournament rather than just for fun. Although both types of play teach
us valuable skills, productive play is the type we can easily weave into
our work. I believe productive play can actually be the "work" itself.

Check out the new RPG Bard Kickstarter project. RPG Bard allows authors and GMs to create beautiful roleplaying game books for D&D 5.0, 4.0, 3.5, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, and other game systems, then save them out to PDF for immediate use, sharing, or online, print, or print-on-demand sales. Our book "Industry Talk: An Insider's Look at Writing RPGs and Editing Anthologies" by Origins award-winning author Jennifer Brozek will be part of the backer rewards, along with four titles from other award-winning authors.
Here's a cover example.
Tags: biz stuff
As of April 1, Apocalypse Ink Productions has been in existence for 2 years. In that time, we have published 5 books: two non-fiction and three fiction. By the end of April, it will be seven books with a new Karen Wilson Chronicles book by Jennifer Brozek and the first of the Sheynan Trilogy by Dylan Birtolo. We also have a series of linked novellas coming up from Peter M. Ball in July and the next in the Gentleman Ghouls series by Ivan Ewert in August.We're proud of what we've created here at Apocalypse Ink Productions. We hope you'll continue on with us in our journey.
After answering a variety of questions, reviewing industry contracts, and looking at our finances, we are looking to update our payment terms as follows.
AIP is more than willing to negotiate contract terms with individual authors, as we believe in paying authors what they are worth.
Things are moving apace here at Apocalypse Ink Productions. We decided we needed to shift release dates for our books around. First, Children of Anu, the second book in the Karen Wilson Chronicles by Jennifer Brozek, will be released in May 2013. Second, Jay Lake's Process of Writing will be released in August 2013.This is mostly because the editing on Jay's book is going slow. Our editor wants to make sure that the edits she needs to make to change ten years' worth of blog posts into coherent chapters meets with Jay's approval. Also, with Jay's forthcoming medical procedures, AIP does not want to put undue stress on Jay or his schedule when it comes time for edit requests and additional writing. Jay and AIP discussed this and decided pushing the book out a couple of months was best for everyone.Famished: The Commons, the second book in the Gentleman Ghouls series by Ivan Ewert, is still scheduled for an October 2013 release.

In 2011, one couple found themselves $40,000 in debt and expecting a baby. Here's how they eradicated their debt -- and the important lessons they learned along the way.
From the greatest generation to the millennials, Experian has tracked how we're all faring in terms of our use of credit. And some of the details may surprise you.
There are times in life you remember in stark detail. Your first kiss, the first time your heart was broken, or the day you tell your spouse you need to file for bankruptcy.
Though student loan consolidation streamlines your student loan repayment, it might not be the best option for you. Here's why.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's new mortgage rules have taken effect. Their purpose: To protect home buyers from the bank behaviors that led to the housing bust.
Consumers have numerous techniques for paying down debt, but a recent survey shows these seven are the strategies Americans employ most.
There is never a quick-fix solution to getting out of debt, but dealing with debt doesn't have to be painful. Here are seven steps to help you pay off your debt.
Before your teens take out a student loan or a car loan or even a mortgage, they'll need some sound financial advice before they end up learning the hard way.
If you spent a little too much leading up to the holidays -- or went way overboard -- here are some options to help you undo the damage.
About three-quarters of Americans will carry debt into the new year, but you don't have to. Here are six strategies that can help you climb out of debt in 2014.
If the holidays have left your budget overstretched, there are ways to recover -- you just need to act fast.
No matter how much you earn you could be creating your own barriers to financial success without even knowing it.
Next time you're about to make a big financial decision, keep in mind that rarely is anything black and white when it comes to the green stuff.
In just eight years, the amount of debt the average college graduate leaves school with has increased by almost $10,000.
Paying off debt is getting in the way of saving for retirement for millions of Americans, and part of the problem may be how we think about some of those debts.
Are your financial worries giving you a headache? Be careful, or that could be just the beginning of bigger health issues that are being tied to out-of-control debt problems.
Here's what you should know before applying for a store credit card.
More Americans fell behind on their credit card payments in the third quarter, but the amount of debt they carry declined.
Saving for retirement is simple, but that doesn't mean it's easy. Here are five to tips to make it less painful.
Here are a few common money management mistakes -- and why these decisions are likely to haunt you.
Student loan debt is making it harder for new college grads to save for retirement, and that's translating to a much later retirement age.
Creating and maintaining a budget doesn't have to be a painful process. Here's eight tips to help get you started.
The last-minute compromise struck by Washington on Wednesday should remove the near-term threat of a ratings downgrade -- for now.
Older workers may have less time to save all the money they need for retirement, but younger generations actually need to save more than their parents.
Though average Americans have no control over the debt ceiling being raised, lawmakers' failure to do so could have serious consequences for your personal finances.
If you're in debt "up to your eyeballs," here's what you can do about it.
Homeowners who are living with too little saved for retirement should be realistic about how much the equity in their homes can help in funding retirement.
A recent study shows there are five areas older people outshine their younger counterparts when it comes to handling household finances.
Buying a home and saving for retirement typically are viewed as smart money moves, but are they the best use of your cash?
It's not actually illegal for a debt collection agency to use text messaging to pursue outstanding debts. But it is illegal to do so while pretending to be a law firm.
Once you reach your 50s, you're generally at or near your peak earnings years. If making ends meet is tough now, it's not likely to get any easier as time marches forward.
Thousands of personal finance books today promise to teach you to spend less, save more and invest better but perhaps none said it better than a book published in 1937.

Easy Asian Recipes (52 New Foods, Around The World)
Wed 06 Feb 2013Story by Jennifer Tyler Lee
Gung Hay Fat Choy! These easy Asian recipes make it fun to welcome health and happiness for start of the Chinese New Year.
Like the rising sun, our adventure this month started in the East. New sounds, smells and sights bombarded our senses. Filled with the excited but overwhelming feeling reserved for those precarious moments encountered when crossing the threshold into a new city, we ventured forward into San Francisco�s Chinatown.
Fueled by the momentum of our 52 New Foods challenge, our family decided to take our healthy eating adventure on a tour around the world in 2013 -- an opportunity to explore the colorful cultures that capture our imagination through the universal language of food.
Easy Asian Pear Sauce
A visit to San Francisco�s Chinatown would not be complete without heading home with a bushel full of sweet, crunchy Asian pears. Like a cross between an apple and a pear, they are delicious simply sliced into wedges as a snack. But on this brisk January afternoon, my kids craved a warm treat, so we whipped up a batch of Asian pear sauce with a hint of ginger, and not a drop of refined sugar. An easy and fun twist on homemade applesauce: Easy Asian Pear Sauce.
Sesame Green Bean Salad
With the same joyful abandon that breaks through when adding sprinkles to cupcakes, my kids will scurry to sprinkle sesame seeds on everything from stir-fried veggies to chicken and rice. Subtle and nutty, sesame seeds added a wonderful Asian twist to one of our weeknight regulars: Green Bean Salad.
Easy Orange Granita
Like sparklers against a dark night sky, mandarin oranges at the local market add bright and cheerful pops of color to dreary winter days and herald the coming of Chinese New Year! Venturing forward into another year of trying new foods, we wanted to prepare our favorite �fast� food in a new way. With a little inspiration from our blended family, a combination of Chinese and Italian roots, we decided to make a classic Italian dish with our simple Asian ingredient: Easy Orange Granita Recipe.
A Simple Bok Choy Recipe
Last year I started to feature bok choy in clay pot rice � sweet and salty flavors mingling together with a few crispy bites of green was a taste my kids loved. But my goal this week was to get them to enjoy this friendly Asian cabbage in the same way that they love a side of broccoli � simple and green. The trick was lightly stir-frying the bok choy in freshly minced ginger and garlic, and adding a little touch of salty flavor with Tamari: Simple Bok Choy Recipe.

Santos executes $2bn bank loan facility
PUBLISHED: 19 Jul 2010 12:38:00 | UPDATED: 20 Jul 2010 04:02:31PRINT EDITION: 19 Jul 2010
Santos has executed a $2 billion bilateral bank loan facility to give its balance sheet flexibility for growth plans including its Gladstone liquefied natural gas project in Queensland.
The company said in a statement on Monday that the new bank loan facility would be used to refinance the oil and gas producer's existing $700 million of undrawn bilateral bank facilities that mature between 2011 and 2014, and to increase liquidity.
Santos executive vice president and chief financial officer Peter Wasow said the new facility provided the company with additional liquidity during the construction of the Gladstone and Papua New Guinea liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects.
Mr Wasow said the new facility matured after first LNG is produced at these two projects.
"The weighted average term of the new facility is five years," Santos said.
The Gladstone project is scheduled to begin production in 2014, while the PNG project is expected to do so in late 2013 or early 2014.
Santos said it had been supported strongly by existing and new lenders.
"The facility was self-arranged and attracted total offers of A$2.9 billion from 13 banks," Santos said.
"Offers from nine banks were accepted."
Including the new facility, Santos has $6 billion of available funding capacity, including cash and committed corporate and project debt facilities.
Shares in Santos added seven cents to $13.72 by 1242 AEST.

Last year, in the fall, since that other vegan turtle cake was so good, I decided to make a pumpkin turtle cake. It turned out amazing as well, and since I tend to be more of a spice cake kind of a girl than a chocolate cake girl, the combination together was perfect! Since I have since become a raw vegan, my challenge to myself last weekend was to make a raw vegan version of that pumpkin turtle cake.
For the cake layers I used a mixture of buckwheat, walnuts and coconut, because I find that it makes the cake a little lighter than simply nuts alone. Of course plenty of pumpkin and spice as well, with dates to sweeten. I knew it would be delicious because I had to enjoy the extra batter left over after I had spread it out onto the dehydrator sheets.
I made a raw date caramel, one of my favorite things on Earth lately to go between the layers and on top of the cake. It was hard to quit sampling it, but knew I would not end up with a pretty cake if I didn't. I made a luscious fudgy frosting, and enjoyed my time assembling the cake, because in my opinion, decorating a cake is one of the most relaxing, calming activities you can do. Plus, of course the fact that you get to eat the leftover frosting. The cake turned out beautifully! As I was diving into a large piece of it, I couldn't help but think that this raw version was my favorite of the three turtle cakes I have made in the last couple years.
2 cups sprouted, dried buckwheat (or additional walnuts if unavailable)
1 3/4 cups dried shredded unsweetened coconut
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 inch chunk fresh ginger
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
18 medjool dates, pitted
2 cups cubed raw organic squash*
1/2 Frosting:
3/4 cup raw coconut nectar or raw agave nectar or raw honey
1 1/2 Tbsp raw coconut oil, liquified
3/4 cup sifted raw cocoa powder, or more if needed1/4 tsp sea salt
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp maple extract
20 medjool dates, pitted
2 Tbsp almond butter
1/4 cup agave nectar or honey
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 Tbsp coconut oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup chopped pecans for filling
3/4 cup whole pecans for topping
To make the cake, combine coconut, and buckwheat in the food processor and process until finely ground. Add the sea salt, ginger, spices, vanilla, and dates and process until well blended and starting to hold together. Remove from processor and transfer to a large bowl. Place the squash in the food processor and process until very finely chopped, add back in nut mixture and process until combined. Shape the mixture into 3 four inch (about) circles, and place on a teflex lined dehydrator sheet. Dehydrate for 6 hours, then flip over and let dehydrate another 2 or 3. Remove from the dehydrator and set aside while you prepare the frosting and caramel.
To make the frosting, combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together until smooth (if too thick add a little water, and if too thin, a little more cocoa powder). Set aside.
To make the caramel, combine all ingredients in the food processor and process until smooth, adding a little more water if too thick (you want to be able to drizzle it). Press the mixture through a fine meshed strainer to get rid of any date bits (optional, but creates a smoother caramel).
To assemble the cake, place one round on a plate. Spread a couple Tbsp of frosting over, then a couple Tbsp of caramel. Then top off with a few chopped pecans. Top with another cake layer and repeat. Then top with the top cake layer. Spread frosting on the top and sides of the cake. Drizzle remaining frosting over the top and down the sides of the cake (if you put it in a bag and cut the corner off (pastry bag style) it makes it easier). Top off with the whole pecans, arranging them decoratively.
*I use squash because it is sweeter than pumpkin and tastes better raw. You can use raw pumpkin if you prefer.

For the last few summers we have profiled a set of players who have come to Notre Dame amid high expections about to enter their junior or senior years either wihtout having lived up to the billing or with a gorup of underclassmen breathing down their necks.
Last year we only looked at three such players – Ishaq Williams, Ben Koyack, and George Atkinson. None of the trio excelled during the 2013 campaign, but Koyack and Williams did show enough a season ago to offer so hope for 2014. Atkinson on theother hand underwhelmed with an opportunity to be Notre Dame's top running back and left early for the NFL with a light workload likely on the horizon in 2014 had he returend.
This year we are starting our list with a holdover from 2013 – Ishaq Williams.
Ishaq Williams came to Notre Dame with all the hype and then some of a 5-star defensive prospect. The lack of 5-star defensive talent at Notre Dame combined with the now legendary recruiting story of Bob Diaco camping outside the Williams household in Brookyln and essentially preventing a weekend trip to Happy Valley and securing a commitment and early enrollment for Notre Dame only heightened those expectations.
Williams didn't play great competition in high school but more than held his own in the US Army All-American along with fellow Notre Dame recruits Stephon Tuitt and Aaron Lynch (although Lynch at that time was not yet a Notre Dame commitment) which raised expectations even higher for the New York native. Since then Lynch and Tuitt have both gone on to the NFL after their junior seasons while Williams is still looking to make his mark on the collegiate level.
With Williams enrolling early at Notre Dame in January 2011, most pundits pegged Williams as a potential impact freshman for Notre Dame the following fall. While Williams did see the field in 2011, it was only in a limited role and it wasn't until the Michigan game of the 2013 season that Williams collected the first and only sack of his career. In fact, after three years, he has a total of just 6.0 tackles for loss in his career and has not been credited with a single start despite playing in 35 games.
Reason for Optimism
Just as we've heard the last two springs, Williams had a great spring and for the first time in his career, he will be able to focus almost exclusively on rushing the quarterback. During his first three seasons at Notre Dame, all of which came playing in Bob Diaco's 3-4 defense, Williams was tasked with playing the CAT position which required rushing the quarterback and dropping into coverage at times – something that Williams was never ever able to really get comfortable with.
With Diaco running his own program at UConn now and Brian Van Gorder bringing back a more traditional 4-3 defense for Notre Dame, Williams will be playing with his hand on the ground at defensive end and will be charged with generating a pass rush for Notre Dame. This role should fit much more into Williams' skillset and allow for him to tap into that 5-star talent.
Reason for Doubt
While the reports out of the spring were very encouraging for Williams, we have heard the same thing in past seasons only to be followed by disappointing seasons. In 2012 it looked like Williams was going to have a big impact after the season opener against Navy but that ended up being the high point of the season for him. Williams started off with strong performances early on in 2013 as well only to be unable to sustain the production throughout the season.
While the move to being a full time defensive end has the potential to greatly help Williams, it also comes with the adjustment of learning a brand new defensive scheme under VanGorder. So, while the scheme should fit Williams's skillset better, the normal learning curve that comes with a new scheme could also limit the impact we see from Williams on the field.
2014 Outlook
Talent has never been a question for Williams – he has an excess of talent and athletic ability. In Diaco's scheme though, he just never looked comfortable playing as an outside linebacker. With VanGorder's more aggressive defensive system, Williams has the potential to have a breakout season in 2014 similar to how Corey Mays had a breakout season as a 5th year senior in 2005.
Mays came to Notre Dame as a highly rated linebacker out of the Chicago area but after four seasons including a redshirt year, Mays had a total of 6 tackles for loss – just like Williams has heading into his final season of eligibility. In 2005, Mays played in a new scheme under then new head coach Charlie Weis, and flourished racking up 10.5 tackles for loss and 4 sacks while starting 11 games after starting just one game in the previous three seasons.
Like Mays, Williams came to Notre Dame very highly rated but hasn't been able to make an impact through his first three seasons. It is almost shocking to think that Williams has yet to start a single game in his career after coming in as a 5-star, US Army All-American, but that should change very quickly in 2014. Williams is pretty much etched in stone as one of the starting defensive ends and baring injury, he will be starting the season opener when Rice comes to town.
This off-season Williams packed on an additional 10 lbs to prepare for playing on the line as a senior. Add that to a better defensive schematic fit and a starting role and all signs point to Williams having a breakout season just like Mays did in 2005. With just 45 career tackles, 6 for loss, and a single sack; it would not be out of the realm of possibility to see Williams better all of those numbers this season alone if he stays healthy. The talent has always been there and after three rough seasons, it looks like the stars are finally aligning for Ishaq Williams.
Williams's Army All-American former teammates will be collecting NFL paychecks in 2014. If he is able to tap into his potential in 2014, he could very well be joining them in 2015.

How many 5 star recruits would have already transferred to another college for more playing time. This is why I love players like Williams. He has stuck it out and understood what it is to be a player for the University of Notre Dame. Good things come to those that work their bottoms off and are patient for that "right time" when life is ready to reward. 2014 is the year of Ishaq and even if it doesn't turn out to be a fruitful year on the playing field it will be in his life. For 2014 is the year he becomes a graduate of the University of Notre Dame.
Fergnation replied on July 6th, 2014 at 4:38 pm
Okay so officially it will be 2015 but none the less.
Henighan commented on July 6th, 2014 at 4:41 pm
I have heard this same story about Ishaq for 4 years now. I have crossed him off as someone that can be highly productive for this team. His issue isn't physical….it's mental. He doesnt have the "will" to be great. He goes through the motions during a game.
Ron Burgundy replied on July 6th, 2014 at 6:00 pm
Great insights, it sounds as if you know him personally.
Michael the Archangel replied on July 6th, 2014 at 9:36 pm
When new co-ordinators/coaches arrive and position talented players at their best position,
break-out years happen. Duranko already noted what Alvarez' scheme did for an unheard from
senior named Frank Stams in'88, and what that did for the team as a whole. Under Lombardi,
Jim Taylor went from LSU LB to FB and Nitschke from Illinois' FB to MLB, Adderley became an all-pro CB after playing offense in college, and a former ND Hesimann QB named Hornung wasn't too shabby as a HB.Would we be speaking of K. Russell as an All-American had he not been switched to CB?
It's obviously 'now or never' for Ishaq, but I can't diminish or dismiss his potential
because he played his less than ideal position in the past.There's a long list of ND players who came of age their last year.
I'm optimistic Ishaq will have that break-out year we need from him
now that he's finally at the position in which he can excel.For the sake of our DL, I hope so!
LucasCorso replied on July 7th, 2014 at 4:03 pm
I have no particular expectations. Williams hasn't distinguished himself that much yet. But there are plenty of examples of players who "found it" and excelled in a final season after having stalled. So I'm hopeful. The guy has physical tools. Maybe it'll click with a new D coordinator.
St Pat commented on July 6th, 2014 at 4:47 pm
Would love Ishaq to put it all together this year. He better watch out for Rochelle who will push for playing time.
duranko commented on July 6th, 2014 at 6:26 pm
have to respect Henighan's "fool me once….. reticence on Ishaq, but Frank did a good job of laying out the countervailing case.
Kelly did remark on Ishaq having a "different look" in the winter conditioning drills.
Plus, I think we can underrate the shadow of the dominating personality and presence of the departed Prince Shembo.
We have some elegant examples of players who broke out in their final year, none more dramatic than Reggie Brooks. And Frank Stams did it at the same position that Ishaq played when he got a new coordinator (Barry Alvarez) in '88.
Williams' job description is certainly simplified and it is now or never.
He is a pivot player. In November will be be arguing about whether he or Sheldon Day is the best player on the DL, or be using Ishaq as the exhibit of why you can't count on Five Stars as sure things.
Regardless, Rochell will be an outstanding player at ND, even if as a sub this year.
Mike commented on July 7th, 2014 at 7:11 am
I think Ishaq can have a good year this year. He always seemed more of a DE than OLB to me. I think he's a much better fit as a DE in a 4-3 scheme than an OLB/DE in a 3-4.
LucasCorso commented on July 7th, 2014 at 4:01 pm
Maybe "now or never" isn't a great headline when you are including players who had previously been considered "now or never."
Bob commented on July 7th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
Hoping ishaq comes through. In a perfect world, he finds his own and Rochell rotates and gets more experience. Not ready to write ishaq off quite yet. Like said before, the kid has stuck it out when many would look for the easy route.

11 Tips for Finding a Cruise Deal
First Time Cruisers
> 11 Tips for Finding a Cruise Deal
Somewhere out there is a seven-night cruise from $299, a luxury sailing at 75 percent off and an empty cabin on the soldout sailing you wish to book. Knowing where and when to search for the best fares could mean the difference between unearthing that deal or compromising on price and itinerary.
You probably have a tried-and-true method of searching for cruise deals. Perhaps you wait for missives from your trusty travel agent, or maybe you're a tiger when it comes to prowling the Internet for low fares. You may book your cruise right when the brochure is first published, or you might bide your time until two weeks before sailing. But have you explored all possible ways of nabbing that steal?
00 Let us share some of our favorite tips for finding cruise deals. While some may be old hat, others may catch you by surprise. Use them all, and you'll be ready to pounce when the right promotion comes along.
Tweet Your Way to Savings.
Tech-savvy shoppers may want to try
, to find last-minute cruise bargains. Just about every agent and agency -- including Cruisedeals.com (
) and Cruise.com (
)-- is tweeting its best cruise offers. The cruise lines have gotten into the game, as well.
Taking it a step further, you can customize a list of deal tweeters by using Twitter's list function, in essence creating your own deal aggregator.
Send Deals to Your Inbox or Phone.
E-mail may be passe at this point, but the vast majority of lines and agencies still rely on "e-letters" to help fill cruise ships.
Celebrity Cruises
, in particular, sends deals e-mails with special one-day sales that you wouldn't know about otherwise. We've seen deals like a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise on
Celebrity Solstice
from $749 for a balcony cabin, or four- and five-night sailings from $249. And, of course, there's Cruise Critic's own "
Cruise Sails
," a weekly rundown of inventory, priced to sell from a variety of our advertisers. For the hardcore deal-seekers who don't want e-deals cluttering up their personal inboxes, we suggest setting up a separate account just for bargains mailings.
For those who can't stand checking email 24 hours a day, agency
even has a "Cruise Text" program that sends deals right to your phone.
Keep an Eye on Boutique and Daily Deal Sites.
If you love creative couponing, add cruises to the list of things you can find discounts for at boutique and daily deal sites.
often features exotic cruises to the Galapagos, Antarctica, the Nile or Europe in its flash sales, offering up to 50 percent off. Look for expedition and luxury lines.
Rue La La
, an invitation-only site that offers luxury "boutiques" -- with a set number of upscale items for sale on a first come, first serve basis -- may also be worth a look. While the site mostly focuses on shoes and jewelry,
Windstar Cruises
sailings are occasionally on offer. As sites like Groupon start adding travel sections to their regular deals for local spas, restaurants and services, be on the lookout for the possibility of cruise deals of the day.
Book Ahead for High-Season Cruising.
For certain dates and destinations, last-minute bargains are a tough find -- especially if you want your pick of cabins. Summer travel and school holiday periods book up early, especially for cabins that sleep three or more and are in demand by families traveling together. The choicest digs on popular new ships will sell quickly, pushing fares higher the longer you wait. If you want what everyone else wants, or at least have a very specific cruise scenario in mind, we recommend booking early. Look for early-bird sales offering added value, like onboard credit or free upgrades. And rest assured knowing that most deposits are refundable prior to final payment, so if the price does drop, you can either rebook at the lower rate or request the difference in onboard credit.
Luxury cruises also put forth their best prices early. Oceania and Regent Seven Seas usually bump up rates every three months. Crystal's Book Now fares offer early-booking discounts of thousands per couple for a limited time; when the deadline passes, the line dutifully increases the cruise price. These upscale lines make it clear -- the lowest rates will disappear if you wait.
Book Last Minute.
For those who can be spontaneous, flexibility can really pay. Check out our
last-minute cruise deals
section, which features bargains on a variety of sailings leaving within 90 days -- 90 days out being the typical point at which full deposits are due. There are always plenty of
Caribbean deals
Other hard-to-fill cruises -- such as shoulder season cruises and one-way repositioning sailings, where open-jaw airfare is required -- can be dramatically reduced last minute. Of course, booking last minute airfare may wipe out any savings. Plus, you'll have a limited selection of cabin locations and dinner seatings. But, if you're flexible and can drive to a cruise port, it's a great way to save.
Go for the Cabin Guarantee.
If cabin location isn't important, you might want to opt for a "cabin guarantee," which basically means you're assured to get a cabin in at least the category specified -- and if you're lucky, you may even get an upgrade. However, you can't choose your exact stateroom. Lines like
typically discount guaranteed cabin bookings about $50 to $100 per person off the advertised fares.
Bring the WHOLE Family (Plus Friends and Coworkers).
If you're willing to book in bulk, most cruise lines will offer free berths, depending on the number of passengers in the group. For instance,
Princess Cruises
offers a free berth for every 16 lower berths booked. The ratio is reduced for small-ship and luxury lines, so you might only have to get a group of 10 to earn a free berth. Group leaders can choose to spread the savings across the group or keep it for themselves without telling anyone. Groups can get other perks, as well. For example, in addition to offering a free berth for every 10 passengers booked, luxury line
throws in group perks like onboard credit, free photos and discounts on select group excursions.
Choose Shoulder-Season Sailings.
If you've already honed in on a destination, the best way to save is to focus on travel dates just outside the peak season. This might mean picking May as the month to visit
, April as your best bet to sail the
and October for your
cruise -- before or after the summer swell of family vacations. In addition to low prices, you'll encounter fewer crowds; on the flip side, the weather may not be ideal for sightseeing.
Make the Most of Past-Passenger Discounts.
Like frequent fliers, frequent cruisers are able to benefit from brand loyalty. Sticking with one line means earning perks like nightly cocktails in private lounges, access to the spa's thermal suite, complimentary dinners in alternative restaurants and even free cruises once you've earned enough "credits" -- all things you'd typically have to pay for. Past passengers can also take advantage of special discounted sailings throughout the year.
But know this: Past-passenger programs are not created equal. For a full list of offerings, check out our
feature story
Access Military, Senior or Residency Rates.
A number of lines have special programs for seniors, military personnel and even teachers. Norwegian Cruise Line provides discounts to U.S. and Canadian military vets on select sailings. And for AARP members, it offers a 5 percent discount on any cruise booked at least nine months in advance.
Holland America
even goes so far as to offer discounts on select sailings to teachers, EMTs, firefighters, police officers and active military. Erik Elvejord, Holland America's director of public relations, told us that, while fares vary, they've "typically been $50 to $100 below going rates."
Many lines also offer residential discounts. Here's how it works: In essence, a line's revenue stream is based on a formula that requires a certain number of bookings from various cities, states and regions. So, if it's not getting enough bookings from one particular place, it'll drop the price slightly -- say, in Florida -- to entice more Floridians to book. There's no guarantee you'll get a residential discount, but it can't hurt to mention your home city and state during the booking process, just in case.
Leave the Deals Search to the Experts.
If you don't have time for Twitter, online cruise research or gathering up a group of 20 friends, nothing quite beats a good travel agent to help you score a deal. Because agents often book in bulk and work directly with the lines, they have access to deals that normal cruisers won't. Cruise lines will offer their top agencies special discounts that the agents can't promote on their websites, so even if you see a good deal online, it's best to talk to a real person and ask for the best fare.
Even if savings aren't necessarily there for every sailing, agencies often offer deals with value-added perks like onboard credit or prepaid gratuities, which can amount to about $70 per person on a weeklong sailing.

ABC News - A California plastic surgeon is keeping it in the family by performing multiple cosmetic procedures on his own young daughters. Dr. Michael Niccole, founder of the CosmetiCare Plastic Surgery Center in Newport Beach, Calif., gave his daughter Brittani, now 23, breast implants when she was 18. Brittani also had a rhinoplasty. Niccole performed surgery on his daughter Charm, now also 23, when she was 10 to turn her "outtie" belly button into an "innie." Dr. Niccole said he has performed surgery on other family members as well and felt comfortable operating on his daughters, both of whom are adopted. "Who would give them the time — that extra little look during surgery more than I would?" the surgeon said. Though critics say women Brittani and Charms' age have no business undergoing cosmetic procedures, Dr. Niccole defends his work on his daughters as "maintenance." "I'm not changing their looks in any means. They want maintenance," he said. "They don't want to get old. They want to stay young."
Guys relax. She's adopted. Its ok. Not like he's operating on his biological daughter's tits. I mean this guy could technically have sex with these girls if he wanted, right?
I'm sure the adoption agency loved this one. Hey remember that doctor we gave those two little girls to 20 years ago? He's turned them in to fake titted whores. Whoops. No wonder adopted kids always end up fucked up. Their parents are always hiding the truth from them or operating on their tits. They've got no chance really.
PS – Not gonna knock Charm one fucking bit. Outtie belly buttons are fucking disgusting. I don't care if its your mother, your father, your grandma or your goddam self doing that operation. Make that thing an innie.

Well I hit the range yesterday and put 100 x WWB and 20 x Hydra-Shoks thru the LC9; I hope some prospective buyers find this useful: It did great! No issues whatsoever, accurate at 7 & 10 yards and recoil was not bad at all.
The good: Size, weight, reliability, 9mm, accurate, it's a Ruger(!), price, smooth trigger, came with the extended floorplate
The "bad" I use this loosely - I would like better sights, maybe a little bigger; spare mag would be nice. Some people hate the safety's that are on the gun, but they don't bother me.
Overall: When I got rid of my M&P I was kinda sad, but now that I've shot the LC9 I'm extremely happy. Shot very well and if it puts another 100 thru as well as the first group I'll be thrilled. IMO the size/weight of this gun plus the 9mm round make it the perfect ccw weapon. All this for $337 out the door?? You can't beat it!
I also put about 50 thru my LCP (for a total of right at 300 rounds) and it was also flawless. IMO the triggers are similar: very long pull. They just take a little getting used to, once you learn the trigger it's cake. I actually like the long trigger pull, but that's just me.
Here are pics of the two of 'em....Way to go Ruger, A+++ from me!

She's one of the hottest female singers of all time, but even Beyonce Knowles knows that she's not a one-man show. The "Crazy in Love" lady took fashion tips from her younger sister Solange Knowles when she stepped out for a dinner date in New York City on Monday night (December 22) with her husband Jay Z.
Over the weekend she married her 51-year-old fiancé Alan Ferguson and Solange Knowles walked down the aisle in style!
The 28-year-old singer got hitched in New Orleans and wore a magnificent bridal gown designed by her good friend Humberto Leon for Kenzo.
Wedding bells are ringing for the Knowles family as Solange Knowles got hitched to her fiancé Alan Ferguson on Sunday (November 16).
The talented singer/actress invited friends and family to New Orleans including her famous sister Beyonce Knowles, brother-in-law Jay Z and niece Blue Ivy.
Showing off an impressive new collection of athletic-inspired apparel, Alexander Wang unveiled his H&M range in Washington Heights, New York City last night (October 16).
There's something special about the connection between sisters, and over the weekend Beyoncé Knowles caught up with her little sibling Solange Knowles at the Made in America music festival in Los Angeles.
The "Crazy in Love" songstress smiled for photos with her outspoken sister, enjoying a few beers as they chatted away.
Proving that an environment plays a huge role in one's happiness, Solange Knowles took to Instagram to give fans an update on her mood.
On Monday (July 21), Beyonce's baby sister shared a selfie with the caption, "Boyfriend took this of me the other night when we got home from dancing. I was happy. I am happy here."
She made headlines after getting into an elevator fracas with brother-in-law Jay Z, but Solange Knowles insists things are fine between her and her sister Beyonce.
In her cover story for Lucky magazine, the 28-year-old "Losing You" singer attempts to convince readers that there's no bad blood with her famous sister and everything has been ironed out.
They've been dating for five years, and on Tuesday (June 24) Solange Knowles made the most of her 28th birthday with a series of Instagram posts with her boyfriend Alan Ferguson.
Rumored to be engaged, the birthday girl and her 51-year-old beau cuddled in the ocean while vacationing at a tropical beach location.

Introducing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultra Thin: A Fitting Tribute To The Original, 80 Years Later
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso is about as iconic as a wristwatch can get. Created in 1931 to be worn by colonial polo players who feared their timepieces would become scratched while in action (full story here), the Reverso has since become, along with Cartier's tank, the standard by which rectangular watches are measured.
Now, as the Reverso becomes an octogenarian, we have received word today from Jaeger-LeCoultre of a fitting tribute to the original in the form of a new release, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra Thin and Ultra Thin Tribute To 1931.
The Grande Reverso Ultra Thin, will be a standard production model while the Tribute to 1931 in gold will be a limited series. This watch mimics the original Reverso by NOT carying the "JLC" name on the dial, simply "Reverso" was common with very early examples.
Inside the watch is JLC manually-wound and hand-decorated ultra-thin movement, the Caliber 822. Both the limited and non-limited Reverso will be available in steel and pink gold.
This could be the hottest watch of SIHH. More details and prices as we get 'em.

History of Medicine
The Greatness of His Fall
The forms of the beloved death flit before me, and I hasten to their arms. Farewell, Walton! Seek happiness in tranquility, and avoid ambition, even if it be only the apparently innocent one of distinguishing yourself in science and discoveries. Yet why do I say this? I have myself been blasted in these hopes, yet another may succeed.
Victor Frankenstein to explorer Robert Walton
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus, 1818
Broussais. Charles Blanc. Photographic reproduction of an etching. National Library of Medicine Collection.
As he lies dying aboard Walton's ship, Frankenstein offers an ambivalent assessment of his own conduct. In both the subtitle (The Modern Prometheus) of her novel and through Frankenstein's dying words, Mary Shelley suggests that Frankenstein's misfortune did not arise from his Promethean ambition of creating life, but in the mistreatment of his creature. Frankenstein's failure to assume responsibility for the miserable wretch he fathered in his workshop is his real tragedy.

More than a fashion brand. That, friends, is the goal that California born, Dallas, Texas based, artist Ty Clark is striving to achieve. And from what we can see, he has a good head start. His fashion label, Veritas, was created to bring creative individuals from across the globe together through the arts to help communities in need. Using art as a method of healing, Ty is making waves in both the fashion industry and the art world.
The idea for the business had been with him for years, but it never really came to fruition until he was living in China. It was then that Ty began to plot out the actual map to Veritas. Using his experience from working at Quicksilver for six years, and his extensive network, the pieces for a humanitarian fashion brand started to fall into place.
The Fashion
Veritas is the Latin word for "truth." It began as a tattoo drawing he came up with eight or nine years ago that encompassed one of the birds from their current logo. "When I started putting together ideas for this brand, I came across it in the book one day and I just thought 'That's it, that's the company,'" says Clark. As for the actual tattoo, he still has yet to ink himself, but leaving it open for a future possibility. His aspirations for Veritas are not only to become a very well known brand in the fashion community, but to also create its own niche.
Ty produces all the designs for his upscale fashion tees (oh, and accessories, too!) hi...

Private providers of public services to be subject to Freedom of Information Act
Responsible department: Ministry of Justice
Public bodies are subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act, so that the public can access information surrounding decisions and plans, and can hold those making the plans to account for them.
The government is making it increasingly easy for private providers to bid for, and win, contracts to provide public services - but these companies are currently not subject to the FOI Act.
This deprives the British people of the right of access to important information, removes transparency and allows companies to make their decisions about public services without accountability to the public.
This needs to change. Please sign this petition and get others to do so.

We rely on our partner organizations, the Center for Responsive Politics and the National Institute on Money in State Politics, to uniquely identify individuals' campaign finance and lobbying activity. If data appears to be missing, it may be that they have not identified all influence activity for this individual. If the data is completely different than you expected, it may be that you're looking at a different person with the same name.
In these cases, we suggest searching the raw records in the campaign finance Data section, which provides extra information about each contribution, such as the donor's city, state and employer. This information should allow you to judge for yourself if the contribution came from the person for whom you searched.

Shelby County, TX (KETK) — One person is dead and two were injured after a wreck in Shelby County.
On Thursday around 2:50 p.m., an 18-wheeler and a truck were involved in a crash on Highway 7, just east of Center.
A passenger, Julia Adams Murphy, 53, of Carthage, was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the truck, Brandon Cole Price, 28, and Holden Price, 1, both of Carthage, were both taken by air to a Shreveport hospital. The 18-wheeler was driven by Guillermo Galindo, 52, of Nacogdoches.
According to the Lufkin Department of Safety, the semi was traveling east on Highway 7 and the pickup was heading west. The truck turned in front of the 18-wheeler where there was no available turn.
Authorities say all involved were wearing seatbelts but are unsure as to why the Price turned in front of the rig.
As of Friday morning, the infant is in intensive care and Brandon Price is in serious condition.
