Life is truly a feast, a huge smorgasbord spread out before us, as far as the eye can see, a multitude of good things free for the taking. Some foods tempt us with an alluring aroma, the scent wafting up from the plate and swirling around our head, or arranged on the plate gorgeous to look at, delectable treats promising a moment of utter pleasure. We stand before the spread, plate in hand, hovering over each and every morsel, wanting to taste, savor, enjoy, knowing full well that we must pick and choose, understanding that there is too much on the table for any one person to rationally, sanely enjoy. We are so hungry, so excited, ready to grab, live life to the fullest.
Some things are sweet like a huge dessert buffet covered with cakes and bonbons, chocolate fountains and dainty petit fours graced with swags and shiny glazes, filled with smooth creams or dazzling us with spun sugar beauty. Life can be oh so sweet, babies born, summer vacations in the sunshine, running barefoot on the beach, snuggling up in socks and sweaters in front of a blazing fire, sharing laughter and secrets with best friends. We lick our fingers and sigh, contented, blissfully wishing that we could return to this ambrosial banquet every morning and feast only on what makes us truly happy.
Yet as we walk along the edge of this luscious feast and glance at one offering after the other trying to decide, we know that although we have visions of joyous festivity and living forever on the good things life has to offer, we know deep in our souls that we can't always stand at the dessert bar. We have to admit that the feast that is life is not always laden with candy and cakes and, fork poised above each dish, we must take our chances, risk the bad in order to taste the good.
Some things are sour, popped into our mouth, lips pucker and we jump back in surprise, the tart not quite balanced out with enough sweet, the fall not cushioned with enough whipped cream; friendships gone sour, saying good bye, hopes of good report cards fluttering off in the breeze as we pull the card out of the envelope, being pushed around by the less than kind, the less than sweet. Yet tangy we like, tangy is good, that sweet and sour combination that makes our taste buds dance, our hearts sing in joy, a shindig with music and laughter, lemon meringue pie and those sour balls and Jolly Ranchers that dad always brought home.
Or spicy, hot and exotic, hinting at far off lands and hidden mysteries, excitement and adventure. Although our eyes may water, these are tears mingled with pleasure, hands clapping as we look for more, trips to foreign countries only dreamed of, the hot rush of love at first sight, gobbled up like so many curries and tagines, deep-fried accras and seafood creole over rice.
Savory, salty, like seawater washing over us, it could be warm and soothing like hot pretzels eaten on the boardwalk or a crockpot full of steaming homemade stew, comforting us on a rainy day. But it could be cold, the waves pounding on the beach, clouds rushing through the sky, foretelling a storm. We dive below the surface and come up choking on a mouthful of salty water like so many tears, the darkness wrapping around us as we struggle for breath, the salty taste lingering as we paddle towards the shore. Nothing drastic, nothing we won't forget once we light the bonfire, the salty taste of roasting sausages bringing the smiles back.
Sometimes we bite into a delicacy that looks promising only to discover too late the bitterness hidden under the pretty aspect, wrapping of golden pastry, the lovely arrangement on the serving platter. Eyes watering, we desperately grab a napkin thinking only to spit it out, banish it from our memory as quickly as we get rid of the bad taste in our mouth, hoping no one is watching. Or dry, bone dry and brittle, turning to ashes in our mouth, wishing that we had never even come. We wonder at how we could have been taken in, who could have played such a nasty trick, our heart breaking with sadness, yet furious at being burned, at being tempted by the scrumptious first course, only to push our plate away from us in disgust or in anger and hurt.
All we can hope for is that the bitter is mingled with the sweet, a sad smile on our lips, happy memories making the bitter ones easier to swallow, the sweet taste lingering on. Life is bittersweet.

Curried Chicken Corn Chowder Recipe
4.5 13
This recipe is close to one my mom used to make for us kids when the weather turned cold. Hers called for heavy cream, but I came up with a slimmer version that I think is pretty true to the original! —Kendra Doss, Colorado Springs, Colorado
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 celery ribs, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 5 cups frozen corn
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Dash cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
- 1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro
- In a Dutch oven, saute onions and celery in butter until tender. Stir in the broth, corn, curry, salt, pepper and cayenne. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk flour and milk until smooth. Whisk into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add chicken and cilantro; heat through. Yield: 8 servings (2 quarts).

I think that it would be a definite plus to weld up the window on the ejector block if you are going to use it in a receiver. I have ordered an ORF receiver. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I did read over at FALfiles that Todd is attempting to get blocks from DSA. How true that is I don't know. But I believe that from all the flack he was getting from the members, he may have decided to have ejector blocks installed in his new receivers. Now that is a very good idea. To me it makes no sense to sell a receiver without the ejector block installed. From what I understand it is not an easy installation without the proper tools and idea of what in the hell you are trying to accomplish.
Well, time will tell. If ORF falls through, there aren't many options out there for a receiver other buying one from DSA or hoping to find one for sale somewhere.
sucks don't it esp with kits so low in price.

By Caren Chaffee
The month of December is well known for being a hectic time of year, yet it is also a time when many people celebrate their own fortunes by "giving back" to others. Recently, a KidsPeace foster care program received an unexpected visitor: Another non-profit organization moved into the office space next door to KidsPeace just a week earlier, and one of their employees walked into KidsPeace to introduce herself and ask if there was a family that she could "adopt" for the holidays. Serendipitously, a biological mother had been reunited with her three children the previous week, and while the family is celebrating their success with great joy, their reality is that the holidays will present a significant financial challenge. Upon learning that her family was being adopted for the holidays, the mother wept and expressed great appreciation for the generosity a woman who is (and will likely remain) an anonymous stranger to her.
It is important to share stories of goodwill to youth to impress upon them the impact of the actions of individuals on others. While not everyone is able to offer such a generous donation as the provision of a holiday celebration for a single mother and her three children, even small acts of kindness can make a difference. Collections of non-perishable food items for food pantries, hats and mittens for homeless shelters, gently-used coats for children and socks for our military personnel have a significant cumulative impact on those who reap their benefits.
For youth in care, the holidays can be a particularly difficult time. Most youth in care are often the beneficiaries of giving, rather than the donors. However, they can still be involved in making a difference in the lives of others, which can increase their own feelings of self-worth and confidence. In fact, some researchers have found that giving increases endorphins, boosts positive emotions and decreases stress. Youth can get involved in giving to others by making ornaments for nursing homes, sending letters to our service men and women, making cards for others who need cheering or organizing a group of peers to clean and decorate for the holidays. Even more simply, a smile for someone new, a helping hand for someone who needs it or a thoughtful word for someone who is having a difficult day can make a significant difference to the recipients of these basic acts of kindness.
Doing something nice for someone else feels good and almost always ends with a smile. The knowledge that an individual's actions made someone's day better is empowering. Spreading cheer and goodwill can transform a community and bring about a sense of belonging. Providing something positive for someone else enhances the benefactor's dignity and reflects positively on his or her character. And knowing that he or she made a difference in the life of someone else can help a youth with a tumultuous history build relationships and begin to feel safe. One single action that does not have to cost anything but compassion and time echoes the KidsPeace Model of Care and helps improve the lives of countless individuals during the holidays and throughout the year.

It wasn't that long ago when she was in the stands watching as the world's greatest tennis stars played. Now, Melanie Oudin is playing on the same stage. Oudin, at 19, rose in popularity last year after being the youngest American Grand Slam quarterfinalist since Serena Williams did it at the Open in 1999. With the word 'Believe' inscribed on her shoes, Oudin fought from behind and defeated four top-ranked Russians to make it to the quarterfinals.
Oudin returned for her second year along with some of the top-ranked women's players in the world to compete in the Family Circle Cup on Daniel Island.

To improve the cost-effectiveness of submersed aquatic plant management in Florida public lakes, FWC initiated an ongoing bathymetric mapping project. To date, maps have been generated for approximately 150 waterbodies. Those with a history of large-scale hydrilla problems or management programs received first priority, followed by waters in which hydrilla has only recently been introduced. Mapping of additional waters will occur as funding and water levels allow.
Bathymetric data are collected when water levels are high, and water volumes are calculated for one-foot contours. Water acreage and average lake volume at the time of data collection are provided for each waterbody.
These measurements are crucial for accurately applying herbicides to submersed aquatic plants. Managers must have accurate water depth information to calculate the appropriate amount of active ingredient to apply. Too much herbicide is not only wasteful; it can result in unintended control of non-target plants. Too little herbicide can result in no control at all.

Music, both vocal and instrumental, can be a powerful expression of worship. Worship means to give honor or to ascribe worth and value to something. Everyone understands worship on some level, whether they call it that or not. God is pleased when we worship Him. We have the responsibility in the Music Ministry to equip people with the skills and teaching needed to experience worship in their lives, and also to lead the congregation in musical worship.
Our Music Ministry is an exciting place to learn, lead, and experience worship through music. We have a wide variety of service opportunities for vocalists, as well as instrumentalists. We are a teaching ministry, so anyone with a desire to be involved will be utilized in service.
At First Baptist Oviedo, quality musical and worship experiences begin at an early age. We begin with three year olds and continue through the senior adults. Our Children's Choirs are age-graded with at least one choir for every year of life from age three through fifth graders to provide a basic exposure to music while building a firm foundation. For our children's workers, music is a tool used to bring spiritual growth for us all! These groups perform on special occasions and two times a year the older children sing in our Worship Services.
Look further into our website for more information about how you can become involved musically.

Bob Lambert said when he received a call from his nephew at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday informing him the family business was on fire, he thought it was a joke.
But, he quickly realized it was real and Georgetown Family Pizza — which he and his wife, Susan, have owned for about nine years — was burning.
City Fire Chief Joey Tanner said when firefighters arrived they saw smoke coming through the roof of the second floor. Flames were seen coming from a vent on the roof.
The fire was determined to be under control by 3 a.m. but crews remained on the scene for more than two hours putting out hot spots and working to remove smoke from the building.
Tanner said the cause of the fire is currently unknown.
One firefighter had to be transported to the emergency room for possible dehydration, Tanner said. He was treated and released and was back on the fire scene by 5 a.m.
Tanner said the rear and second floor of the building is used as an office and apartment. He said it was those areas that received the most damage. However, the restaurant did sustain severe smoke and heat damage.
Lambert said his wife was the primary operator of the business. He said she was taking the loss very hard.
"We will try," Lambert said when asked if he thinks they will rebuild.
Thursday's fire was the second that destroyed a pizza restaurant in the past ten months. Georgetown's Pizza Hut was destroyed by fire in December and is currently in the beginning stages of rebuilding.
One month ago today, ten businesses were destroyed by fire in the 700 block of Front Street.
House gutted on Winyah Street
Some firefighters were still on the scene at Georgetown Family Pizza when they received the call about a fire at 1812 Winyah Street.
When they arrived smoke was seen billowing from the roof.
Tanner said the fire started around a wood heater.
Two people live at the home and one was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation, Tanner said.
The house was completely gutted, Tanner said.
Mobile home severely damaged
A mobile home on the west end of Front Street was destroyed by fire late Monday night.
Tanner said the fire at 2219 Front Street was reported just before midnight.
Although there was no electricity going to the mobile home, there was a 41-year-old woman inside. She was out of the house when firefighters arrived but was transported to the emergency room to be treated for smoke inhalation, Tanner said.
Tanner said the cause of the fire — which took about 20 minutes to bring under control — is under investigation.

This unit aims at extending and deepening students' Arabic language skills and improving their understanding of the Middle Eastern culture by studying and using Arabic in the target language environment. As in AIB152 Arabic 1B, emphasis will be given to the development of practical language skills for aural comprehension and expression. The basic communicative functions, syntactic patterns and vocabulary acquired will be considerably broadened and consolidated. The vocabulary range of students will be expanded by exposing them to a variety of reading material from prescribed textbooks and from the current press.
By living with a host family and interacting with the community around them, students will develop confidence and competence using the language in the setting where it is spoken. In addition, students will be able to gain insight into the Arabic culture in general and the culture of the host country in particular. Within the classroom, communicative methodologies will be emphasised though activities including role-plays, games and exercises. Contextually-based exercises will be set and students will be required to complete specific communicative tasks appropriate to their level.

I'm against abortion, too. So I have never had one. But it's not my choice. It's each woman's choice. And nobody has any right to make her do anything to "qualify" for it. It is LEGAL in this country. Period.
Why do so many men think that it's not a difficult decision? It's not like a woman just casually says; "Oh, I think I'll get an abortion today after my manicure." It is a VERY difficult decision. And making it harder on the woman is not going to do anything but cause undue emotional trauma. It's hard enough already to get an abortion, what with so few qualified doctors (who can blame them when they are used for target practice by the religiously deranged?) and with self-righteous jerks yelling at you as you go in the clinic (even if you're only there for a check-up you'll get yelled at because these idiots don't care). This is, plain and simply, a religious roadblock to womens health care. And we don't make laws according to religious dogma. This is about control. Men controlling women. It has always been about control. If you'd read my article, you'd know this.
You want lower abortion rates? Make birth control cheaper and easier to get. Teach sex education in the schools. Tell teens about the consequences of unprotected sex. Show them pictures of STD symptoms. But making abortion next to impossible to get will only give us more poverty and sickness and starvation and death. Because, while these horrible religious nuts care SO much about a fetus, they don't give a rat's arse what happens to an unwanted baby after it comes. Hypocrites.

I finally got my blood test results back from the doctor. They ran test for lupus, blood diseases, etc. I huge panel that I had to give a lot of blood for and everything came back negative. Then I whipped out all the articles on Preeclampsia that I had printed out and start throwing question after question with him. I found out that he use to work under one of the doctors on the Medical Advisory Board for the Preeclampsia foundation. I'm understanding the site doesnt like me to put names in the post so I won't type the name, but when the doctor said the name I knew immediately who he was talking about. The physician who ordered my blood work was never my doctor through my pregnancy until I was hospitalized. I was told if I get pregnant again my regular OB will send me over to him and he will be primarily taking care of me. Everything I asked him, he knew what article I was talking about and was very patient with all my questions. I have to say he has really helped put my mind at ease. His main concern was that I understood that I didn't do anything wrong and that there was absolutely nothing wrong with my body and not to feel like I can't have children. I told him that I understood that trying to get pregnant again would be a matter of wether or not my husband and I felt it was worth the risk and that we definitely feel it is. And he said "I know that I am the doctor and you might see me as the guy that takes your money to care for you, but as my professional opinion and my personal opinion, its always worth the risk."
I have to say, my regular OB and this high risk OB are two of the greatest physicians I have met. I honestly feel like they are in this profession to help people. When he said that I could feel my tears building up. I honestly look forward to having him as my doctor when my husband and I decide to try again. I feel very confident in this man after one conversation with him. I had not realized how those little fears were already lurking in my head about what will happen but some how.... he's already helped ease them. I thank God for guiding such wonderful people like that who truly know how to help others.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
This afternoon, President Obama addressed the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship organized by the Department of State and the Department of Commerce following his promise in Cairo last June. The event is designed to promote entrepreneurship in Africa, the Middle East, and South, Central and Southeast Asia as a tool for economic and development policy and to fulfill the President's commitment to broaden and deepen ties between the United States and Muslim communities around the world.
Entrepreneurship as a field in economic policy appears to have earned its credentials. A U.S. President convening over 200 leaders from more than 50 countries on five continents for a gathering entitled A New Beginning: Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship indicates that entrepreneurship is no longer viewed as a side ring to the circus but rather as a core priority for nations looking to build economies and expand human welfare. In fact, if the festival of events in the nation's capital this week is anything to measure by, I might even go so far as to suggest Washington, DC itself has woken up to the powerful role entrepreneurs will now play in both driving global growth and fostering international stability. Beyond the official events and receptions, it seems that most of the major institutions in Washington such as the Brookings Institute, Aspen Institute, George Washington University and other academic institutions in the area, the International Finance Corporation and several law firms are convening "global entrepreneurship" events. These combined with dozens of events convened by the institutions working in this field such the Kauffman Foundation, Endeavor Global, Global Entrepreneurship Week, AMIDEAST, Cisco, ANDE, Corporate Council on Africa, 10,000 Women and an array of organizations with Middle East expertise, speak to how popular "entrepreneurship" is as both an emerging field and a global engagement strategy for all nations.
The question now is how much "entrepreneurship" the delegates will be able to take home with them at the end of the week. The mere convening of this summit has put checks in the boxes next to the goals of the Summit (namely to highlight successful entrepreneurs from Muslim communities; expand networks among stakeholders in entrepreneurship; find ways to replicate the most successful entrepreneurship efforts and approaches; identify ways to build and strengthen economic and social climates conducive to entrepreneurship; and enable participants to announce or highlight their entrepreneurial programs).
The challenge now is the iterative process of defining what advice and technical support to offer public and private sector leaders around the world who accept President Obama's challenge to embrace and foster a startup culture. Only a careful look at the Summit's agenda will reveal whether the U.S. is really imparting useful guidance on how to foster entrepreneurship.
Recognizing that entrepreneurship is still little understood, the Kauffman Foundation created Kauffman Labs to explore the science of startups in a more empirical way, which is seeding new programs and thinking from the Foundation and its partners. America is rich with experience and willing to share both successes and mistakes.
The Summit will allow best practice sharing through sessions such as "Perspectives on Successful Entrepreneurship" in which Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and speakers from Tunisia, Indonesia and Kuwait will share their experience about the keys to fostering entrepreneurship, and "Catalyzing Youth Entrepreneurship" which will feature a discussion about the role of government and non-government actors in shaping education, training, mentorship, culture and other factors that encourage young people to be innovative and entrepreneurial.
However, while these gatherings will get policymakers thinking about entrepreneurship, we must make sure not to impart wrong guidance on how to foster it. For example, nations might remember that entrepreneurial capitalism rejects grand central planning. As Carl Schramm, President of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, recently wrote in his "Expeditionary Economics" article in Foreign Affairs, Entrepreneurial capitalism is messy, since it is highly organic rather than centrally planned or centrally managed. Many different people and entities bring the elements—from new firms to university research to federally funded research—into place, and activity flourishes from letting them all evolve and interact in the marketplace. It is nearly impossible to predict what outcomes these activities will bring beyond a broad trend toward higher productivity, rising standards of living, and continued economic growth.
Keeping that general guideline in mind, policymakers must decide how to best unleash entrepreneurship, looking at the various elements of an entrepreneurial ecosphere: education, access to capital, innovation commercialization mechanisms, etc. For example, if one takes a look at the rationale for having a strategy to improve one of these elements, education, one can begin to see that ensuring a skilled and entrepreneurial workforce is of utmost importance. Perhaps the most significant constraint on successful startups' growth is the difficulty finding talent. At its most fundamental level, entrepreneurship is about the successful development and commercialization of novel ideas. This high-impact process is impossible without creative and highly skilled individuals.
America still has an untarnished reputation for understanding startup thinking and culture. Now that we have openly encouraged the world to adopt it, let the work begin.
Jonathan Ortmans is president of the Public Forum Institute, a non-partisan organization dedicated to fostering dialogue on important policy issues. In this capacity, he leads the Policy Dialogue on Entrepreneurship, focused on public policies to promote entrepreneurship in the U.S. and around the world. In addition, he serves as a senior fellow at the Kauffman Foundation.

I love the new MAC lipsticks! Everyday Diva is great because its very similar to Mac Red. but looks slightly more flattering on NC30/NW20 skin. I love how it can look like sheer lipstain or glaze when you apply one layer or you can build it up and go for the bold red lips. They are vanilla scented, which I love, and come in sleek all black packaging and I really like how they are magnetic so the cap doesn't fall off when you toss it in you're purse.
I have this thing about plum tone reds, or purple or plum toned anything really, so I had to get this and I most definitely wasn't disappointed. This is a wonderfully rich color and definitely holds up to its title of moisturizing, which is a real plus in my book.

So I will admit, I do wear this shade when I'm having my diva days, but it's in the name so hey, who can blame me? This most definitely what I call a 'hollywood' shade of red. The color is bright compared to Cockney, but that's what makes the two stand apart in the MAC red family. One is more hollywood and the other more sultry, in my opinion. Either way, I'm more then happy to have this in my makeup bag.

text: I was by a local business last week (Adobe Milling, Dove Creek, Co) and took some pictures of a really nice buck that is on the wall there. It was shot in 4th season just north of there. The lady who shot it was very proud of it and I can see why. She said there was another buck with it that she thought was even bigger, but she couldn't get a shot at it. This is the area I really like to hunt in 4th season. Can be a great hunt if the rut is starting.....and you can get drawn for a tag.

Kenseth holds off Kahne to get 5th win of seasonThe Associated Press | August 25,2013AP Photo
Matt Kenseth leads Kasey Kahne during Saturdays NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn.BRISTOL, Tenn. Kasey Kahne was fed up with all of Joe Gibbs Racing by the time contact with Matt Kenseth ended his race at Watkins Glen earlier this month.
It was the fourth time a JGR driver had wrecked him, and he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure, posting: Headed to Joe Gibbs Racing to talk to whoever will come out front.
But when he had his chance Saturday night to right all of those wrongs, Kahne passed.
A clean racer to his core, he trailed Kenseth for a dozen laps around Bristol Motor Speedway, trying every which way possible to pass him without wrecking him and failing miserably. The result was Kenseth grabbing his Sprint Cup Series leading fifth win of the season, while Kahne settled for a disappointing second.
I dont know, sighed Kahne. I just ... I think at the end of the day, I just dont wreck people.
Its the third time this season Kahne has finished second behind Kenseth, who on Saturday night clinched at least a wild card berth in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
Kahne, meanwhile, is still hoping just to make it into the Chase. With two wins on the year hes in pretty good shape, but hes only eighth in the standings with two races remaining to set the 12 driver field.
After Kahne passed Juan Pablo Montoya for second he set his sights on Kenseth and tried numerous times over the final dozen laps to make the pass, but never could make it stick. He went for the bump and run on the last lap and missed, and has to settle for second.
I had a better car. I just couldnt clear him, Kahne said. There was a couple shots I took, and I had to have been close, but I could feel him on the right side of my car, and I just didnt clear him. I didnt figure out how to get by. Its disappointing not to win here. I thought we had the best car the last 200 laps, and it was a lot of work.
Montoya, who learned two weeks ago he wont be brought back to Chip Ganassi Racing next season, was third. Although he could use a win, especially on an oval to prove he belongs in NASCAR, he said he was pleased with the result especially since he came back from an early speeding penalty.
To be honest with you, where we are with the team and the result, its pretty good, he said. Im still running until the end of the year with (sponsor) Target, and I want to make sure I can do the best for them.
Brian Vickers was fourth, followed by Joey Logano, Paul Menard and Jeff Gordon.
Marcos Ambrose was eighth and Greg Biffle and Dale Earnhardt Jr. rounded out the top 10.
With two races remaining, at Atlanta and Richmond, to set the Chase field, only points leader Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer and Kenseth have locked up berths. The rest of the top 10 in points are Carl Edwards, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Earnhardt, Kahne, Biffle and Logano.
Defending series champion Brad Keselowski is 11th, four points out of 10th and not in Chase contention because hes winless so far.
The two drivers currently in position for the wild-card berths are Ryan Newman and Martin Truex Jr.MORE IN Wire SportsGREEN BAY, Wis. Clay Matthews understood why everyone was so concerned. Full StoryTORONTO David Price was blown away by the reception he got in his Toronto debut. Full Story

CRESTVIEW — Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday are long gone, but sales haven't ended, local merchants say.
However, north county shoppers wanting large electronics or appliances had better hurry.
"Everybody is getting down to crunch time," Tommy Rivers, the Crestview Sears manager, said. "The big items are getting hard to get.
"There'll be sales going on almost daily. We get emails with new sales every morning."
New merchandise arriving at stores is part of the plan for repeat business.
"All of our stores received some new toys this week that customers haven't seen on the shelves yet," Wal-Mart district manager Jon Kurpil said. "We actually had some reductions that came down this week in our toy department to spur a little more shopping."
Local small businesses continue to offer bargains on everything from sewing machines to TVs, ATVs, clothing and tablet computers.
On Dec. 12, the Red Raspberry Boutique on Main Street held a "12-12-12" sale, at which the first 12 customers and every 12th customer thereafter received a gift and 12 percent off select merchandise.
Store clerk Cindy Holobaugh and storeowner Donna Howard said they noticed an increase in Main Street business that began on Black Friday.
"I think Main Street is doing well. I look up and down the street and see more cars and a lot of foot traffic," Holobaugh said. "Donna always encourages people to spend Crestview money here in Crestview. She wishes people would look to Crestview first and help the local economy."
Kicking off the shopping season early with Thanksgiving evening sales, the Crestview Wal-Mart ended with a sluggish Black Friday morning. Other stores also noticed slower sales that day.
"Black Friday was a disappointment for us," Rivers said. "We opened at 4 a.m. and it wasn't the usual rush. About mid-morning, the Wal-Mart customers stopped by. We didn't get busy until 9 a.m. but we stayed busy till 3."
Business at Tractor Supply Co., which specializes in farm supplies, hardware and rural-themed giftware and toys, hasn't slacked off since the holiday shopping season began Nov. 23, Assistant Manager Jeff Roush said.
"It's been steady; nothing major, but steady," he said.
While electronics and sporting goods continue to sell steadily, local stores have noticed a shift in holiday-specific purchasing.
"We're seeing a slow-down as far as Christmas decorations," Kurpil said. "I think most everybody has their trees up. Now, the focus has shifted from 'trim-a-tree' to 'trim-a-package': bows and boxes and gift wrap, that sort of thing."
Given an extra shopping weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, shopkeepers said they will still offer special sales to help nudge undecided or last-minute shoppers, but urged customers to buy must-haves soon.
"We get special deals every day," Sears Assistant Manager Vickie Speakman said. "This year, the (Craftsman) Bolt On tool is the new thing. Customers are really asking for it, but we have just a few left."

My husband and I did!! It.Was.SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!! I was irked by a few choices, but understand the reason behind the decisions to exclude/change things. The books still rule the world though!!
I bet it was the same few things that drove me nuts too! Though they did a GREAT job in the arena! =) and Effie was pretty darn flawless! The books always win though. Hands down!
Emily says
YAY! I'm glad you liked it. (:
I haven't read the books yet so I'm debating whether or not I should see the movie before I do. We'll see!
I can't wait for these recipes!
Annie | NaturallySweetRecipes says
I'm going to go see it tomorrow!! I can not wait- its even more exciting knowing that everyone is loving the movie! I'm relieved it's turning out better than twilight. And I would totally braid your hair, that would make the best super hero!!
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
I definitely want to to see it, but I'm waiting a little so that I don't have to deal with the craziness! I've heard it's good, though … I'm excited!
Janiek @ A non-perfect girl says
If you happen to have a recipe with brusselsprouts, that make them not taste like brussel sprouts, let me know! Haha! And I liked the movie too, but the book was a zillion times better. It all went so fast in the movie! 😮
Renewed Upon a Dream says
I did not, as I had to work in the morning. I can't see it this weekend either because my husband (who is in intern year of his residency in pediatrics) has to work all weekend. AHHH I'm DIEING to see it. We'll probably see it Tuesday or Wednesday after I get out of work.
Joyce says
Maybe i should start reading the books… Everyone and their mamas are obsessed with the hunger games… Ur dishes look awesome btw!
Joyce @
Nicole Foster says
I am curious to know what it is in the little crock.
Thehappyhealthymama says
I didn't get to see Hunger Games yet. In laws are coming next week so hopefully they can babysit while the husband and I get a date night!
sara @ real fun food says
Just saw the movie and I honestly thought it was one of the best adaptations of a book I've ever seen! I thought they left the right stuff out, and the couple things they did change made total sense and didn't mess up the story. I can't say enough how much I loved it!!
Kayzfam says
I loved the movie, but it simply didn't have time to portray all of the emotions from the book. I love your blog:)
Jamillah says
oh em gee, i saw this on thursday and totally feel the same way. yes the book blows the movie out of the water but i totally had the best time ever watching it.
Andi says
I can't wait to see it!! Although sadly it probably won't be until it's on DVD The food looks YUMMY!
Robyn :) says
Cabbage. I have 2 heads of cabbage lol.
Hubby and I are going to see the movie in a couple weeks. Glad to hear it is awesome. I want to be Effie Trinket for Halloween lol.
Robyn :) says
I resisted reading the books for quite awhile because of all the hype, but once I did I could not stop. They are totally worth reading.
Meredith R says
Oh my gosh I totally agree with you on the movie!!! Ah I loved it. Book does kick movie butt but I had a dream about the movie last night and Peeta was in it 😉 and I had a great braid like Katniss. haha, I blame it on the movie
Katie says
I agree ~ the movie is still rocking my world!! saw it yesterday afternoon instead of midnight. I'm thinking about taking my hubby with me to see it again sometime within a week! 😉
Kristen @ notsodomesticated says
So this has nothing to do with your post haha … had to tell you that within the last week, husband and I have watched both "Food Inc." and "Forks over Knives." While I don't see myself going away from meat completely, it definitely opened my eyes and now I want to try to make more veggie-based meals. However, we're in a hotel for the next couple of months, with no oven, a couple of pathetic burners (they don't heat up well AT ALL), and then my slow cooker. I plan to try your slow cooker potato soup, but any other ideas/suggestions?? If you just direct me to certain recipes you already have on your blog that might work, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, girl! 😉
Christine says
I can't wait to see this movie, it sounds awesome!
babykayramon says
Took the kids last night. We really enjoyed the movie, altho the book was definitely better.
Baking Serendipity says
What's to come looks seriously delicious! I read the books (obsessively) last summer and cannot wait to see the move now. I'm waiting until next weekend when things settle down a bit and we have a free Friday night to see it!
Quisha says
Haha one of my friends waited for TWELVE HOURS to see the Hunger games. Crazy! I haven't read the books so I don't know if I'll see the movie or not… we shall see!
I love the books and can't wait to see the film! I lent the books to my mum, who got as hooked as I did so she's coming with me
As an aside, I like the way they've obviously airbrushed Katniss' face on that magazine cover though; she's beautiful anyway!
Marisa@Thecollegecuisiner says
I've just read the Hunger Games and of course I am now throughly obsessed. Can't wait to see the movie, but of course when does the film ever compare to the book? I heard they cut out the cave scene. Blasphemous!
Kim Bee says
I still need to read the book. My daughter went to the opening of the movie at midnight. She loved it.
My distraction this week was Florida and Disney. I can't seem to grasp real life after all that fun. I'm having conference withdrawals.
totally better — I've read them 3x already! haha obsessed!
haha nooo there are still cave scenes!!!! They just couldn't possibly convey everything in the book on screen… so they had to snip out some of it. I saw it a second time and actually liked it better the 2nd time around. Books still are the best – always are 😉
Thank you!!!! Yeah I wish they could have showed more from the book — but then the audience would have passed out in their seats b/c the movie would have had to be like 4 hours long! lol I can't wait for Catching Fire!
Yes! I'm with ya Sara! =) I already saw it a second time. So obsessed — it was even better the 2nd time around!
Def a good date night movie! Wish my hubs was here so I could drag him to see it! Have fun chica!
haha Its hard not to be — they're really good!! Go for it! <3
Ohmygosh yes! Try this: http://peasandcrayons.com/2011/03/delicious-cauliflower-brussels-sprout.html
Hmm….. movie then book? The book is better but the movie was really good… so I think you're safe either way! =)
Hmmm… run out and buy a cheapo toaster oven — I think it would be a lifesaver for the next few months! <3
Here are a few recipes that might work for ya… and I'm throwing in a few that are awesome in a toaster oven if you end up getting one — you could probably find a decent one for 20 bucks!
this can be made in the toaster oven or microwave: http://peasandcrayons.com/2011/11/mexican-pizza-lasagna.html

You know what… i need to buy some anyways! I'll pick up a head and see what I can come up with! =) though fish tacos are the first thing that come to mind when I think of cabbage 😉 hehe
Rachael says

Arts in Lucas County: State funding down, federal funding upWritten by Morgan Delp | | firstname.lastname@example.com
As state funding for the arts has decreased in Lucas County, federal funding has increased.
The Ohio Arts Council recently released its 2010-11 biennial report, which details how much funding was given to each county, artist and cultural arts organization in Ohio, from the state and federal governments.
"Our organization has been more aggressively going after federal funding," said Marc Folk, executive director for Toledo's Arts Commission.
Lucas County saw its state funding decrease by $25,974 from 2006-07 to 2008-09, from $981,012 to $955,038. In the same time frame, the overall amount granted by the state of Ohio fell by more than $1 million.
From 2008-09 to 2010-11, the county's state-provided art funds again decreased dramatically, reflecting further decreases in statewide funds as well. In 2010-11, Lucas County received $592,522 of the state's $13,188,580, a $362,516 decrease, or a 60 percent drop in a four-year span.
"(Funding) has been going down over time as the economy has plunged nationally and within the state," said Kathleen Carroll, president and CEO of the Toledo Symphony Orchestra.
For the previous three biennial periods, about 20 percent of the state's arts funding has gone to administration while the other roughly 80 percent has gone to general subsidy.
Big setback
Folk said the Arts Commission, along with artists and other cultural arts organizations, used to get general operating support from the City of Toledo. The city would provide $600,000-$900,000 to the local arts community and the Arts Commission would receive about $100,000, of which they used $40,000-$60,000 to match with private money to be granted to other organizations, Folk said.
Carroll said this changed after 2000-01.
"When the city went through hard times, they eliminated cultural funding," Folk said. "That was a pretty big setback."
Folk said Toledo is the only metropolis in Ohio that doesn't have a dedicated funding stream for arts and culture. As an example, he said cigarette taxes in Cuyahoga County help fund the local arts community.
Since 2006-07, federal funding provided by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has risen. In 2006-07, Lucas County received $2,937 of the federal government's $1,598,600 arts funding for Ohio. In 2008-09, Lucas County's share of the NEA's $1,788,500 for Ohio rose to $9,404.
2010-11 saw the most drastic increase, as Lucas County received $57,712 of the state's $2.51 million dollars.
"We've been working with a group of the region's arts and cultural leaders, called the Toledo Area Cultural Leaders (TACL), once a month. We report on federal opportunities with the National Endowment for the Arts," Folk said. "The chair of the NEA has reached out to different departments … to create a deeper understanding of how artistic places inspire businesses, draw more talented youth, increase the economy. They work with other agencies to have art programs added to grants."
"Organizations must apply to receive grants from the Ohio Arts Council (OAC) either every year or every two years depending on the grant program," Amy McKay said in an email. McKay is the Public Information Office Director at the Ohio Arts Council.
"Each OAC grant program has a set of evaluation criteria used to assess applicants. Each application is held up against the evaluation criteria and the applications that are recommended for funding are scored," McKay said. "The scores are averaged and then presented to the OAC's board members, the only body empowered to approve grant awards on behalf of the OAC."
Benefits of the arts
McKay said programs are evaluated to make sure they are serving their intended purpose.
Carroll said she commends the OAC for their push to make the state government aware of the benefits of the arts.
"I'd say that citizens of Ohio should be proud of the work done by the Ohio Arts Council. They have been a force and exemplary [model] for arts councils across the country. In Columbus, the council held its own," she said.
Folk said the next biennial budget will rise almost $4 million above the
$13 million the state provided in 2010-11.
Even with this state increase, Folk said the Arts Commission is looking at ways to increase its funding and expand the arts in Northwest Ohio.
"Our board has made it a priority to find a way to create a funding stream to create grants to support the community and strengthen the arts in Northwest Ohio, whether it be through the endowment or other mechanisms," Folk said.
The Toledo Symphony Orchestra relies on the government for .01 percent of its operating costs.
"[Government funding] is not something we count on. Our biggest source is revenue from ticket sales and community generosity," Carroll said.
"It's not easy, everybody has taken an enormous hit (from the economy)," she said. "We put a plan in place and our musicians took a 6-12 percent cut at the start of recession. Our service has not diminished to any degree."
Carroll said she believes it is the arts culture of Toledo that makes it a unique city.
"Any community can have roads and streets and infrastructure. But when people come to Toledo they remark about the art museum, the quality of the orchestra, the opera, the zoo, the metroparks, the ballet," Carroll said. "All of those make us unique, livable, desirable."
The biennial report is available online at oac.ohio.gov.

With Sharp seemingly not figuring in Saints boss Mauricio Pochettino's plans, speculation is rife that the 27-year-old will link up with former boss Nigel Adkins once again.
Reports suggest that a fee in the region of £1.2million has been agreed between the two clubs, and even that a medical had taken place, but Sharp insisted he knows nothing about it.
"Don't believe what you read. My loan's finished at Forest, I have two years left at Saints," Sharp said on Twitter.
"Just for the record, I haven't had no medical."
Sharp played a pivotal role in securing Saints promotion back to the Premier League, before joining Nottingham Forest on loan for the season.

Traffic had to be redirected on I-20 on Saturday afternoon for more than two hours as a result of a one car collision.
The incident occurred in the East bound lane at mile marker 6 at 2:45 p.m. Traffic was rerouted off I-20, exit no. 5.
The driver, Clarence Vanderwiele, 78, Knoxville, Tenn., was operating a 2005 Chevrolet Suburban, and was towing a trailer behind his camper, according to the South Carolina Highway Patrol. The Suburban was carrying five passengers.
The vehicle began swaying, and the trailer jackknifed, with the SUV turning over on its roof, and the camper on its side. The overturned vehicles blocked traffic for 2 1/4 hours. Two of the passengers had to be mechanically extricated from the Suburban, said authorities. The driver was wearing a seat belt at the time of the incident.
The driver and five passengers were all transported to Georgia Regents University in Augusta. There were no life threatening injuries, according to law enforcement.
The operator of the vehicle was cited for driving too fast for road conditions.

Review: PlayStation 4 heralds next generation of video gamesWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Sagar Sharma, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
The next generation of video games has finally arrived with the launch of Sony's PlayStation 4 on Nov. 15. It is true that Nintendo launched the Wii U last year, but technologically speaking, it was not the leap forward gamers wanted, which can seen been with its sluggish sales. Anticipation has been off the charts for the PlayStation 4 as more then one million units were sold in the first 24 hours, the biggest opening day in video game console history. With such expectation and a seven-year wait, I am happy to report that Sony's latest gaming machine is everything you have been waiting for.
Stunning. That is first description that came to my mind when I first unboxed the PlayStation 4. Sony has created what is by far the most sophisticated and sleekest console every released. The angled profile of the console is immediately noticeable as most consoles designs have been quite safe in design. A futuristic-looking light bar acts as an indicator for the status of the PlayStation 4. The light is colored blue when powering on, white when powered on, orange while on standby and off when the system is off. It is quite an elegant function. Sony should be commended for how small they were able to make this system has it is significantly smaller then the original launch model of the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox One.
Perhaps most important in design is that of the DualShock 4, the controller of the system. Sony essentially left the controller design unchanged for the last two generations; thankfully it gets a makeover and is the best controller I have ever used. All the same buttons are here but now there is a touch pad on the front along with a built-in speaker. A light bar indicator and a new option and share button for sharing recorded gameplay with the world also arrives. With longer handles, redesigned triggers, improved button response and rumble feedback, I had a hard time finding any fault with this gamepad. Loaded with an 8-Core AMD Jaguar CPU, AMD Radeon GPU and 8GB DDR3 RAM, the PlayStation features the latest in cutting edge technology to power the system for the next seven years.
Setting up the PlayStation 4 for the first the first time is painless and quite quick, as you will breeze through the straightforward setup options. This theme of simplicity is carried out throughout the user interface. Sony clearly designed the PlayStation 4 as a gaming machine first and foremost, unlike what Microsoft has shown with the Xbox One as being more of an all purpose entertainment hub.
You can still access your favorite apps such as Netflix, Hulu and NBA Game Time, but games are clearly the focus. Being able to quickly access your library of games, join up with your friends in party chat and opening up the PSN Store is quicker then ever before. Gone are the days of slow-loading menus and stuttering interfaces, thanks to the power of the PlayStation 4, something that gamers have had to deal with since the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 launch. The PlayStation Vita can also be linked with the system and have cross-play functionality. During my testing of this feature I found little lag in the mirroring of the PlayStation 4 game on the Vita and look forward to taking advantage of this feature in the future.
Reviewing hardware is not as straightforward as software. This is because as great as the hardware can be, it means very little if there is not software to support it. In this case that would be games. Launch titles for a system serve primarily to offer a glimpse of things to come and games such as "Killzone: Shadow Fall," with its stunning graphics and well-integrated multiplayer format, show that the future is indeed bright for the PlayStation 4.
For those eager to move on from the last generation of consoles, you absoletely cannot go wrong with Sony's console at its very attractive price point of $399.99 ($100 cheaper then the Xbox One). It never hurts to wait to buy hardware, as the game library will continue grow and the user interface steadily improves. The next generation of consoles has finally arrived and I am happy to go along for this ride.
