CHANCE. By Kem Nunn. Scribner. 320 pages. $26.
If you enjoy reading about dysfunctional people sitting on the railroad tracks as the train is coming, this book is for you.
San Francisco neuropsychiatrist Eldon Chance is basically a good guy, not because of any deeply held beliefs about right and wrong but because following the rules is generally easier and takes less energy. But now Chance's life has fallen apart, and he gets involved with a woman - first as a patient, then as more - whose life fell apart long ago. All the other characters' lives are in similar states of disrepair.
"Chance" is supposed to be a hard-boiled story set on the mean streets as Chance tries to save his patient/lover from her relationship with an abusive, corrupt cop. That part of award-winning author Kem Nunn's book is well-written and well-plotted.
However, this book is populated by such depressingly destructive and self-destructive characters that it's hard to care about any of them, even in fiction. Halfway through the book, many readers will be wishing the train would just hit all of them already.
Reviewer Carol Edwards is a freelance editor and farmer living in Marlboro County.

Safe Constipation Treatment – Avoid Stimulating Laxatives
Many folks use stimulating laxatives like senna, cascara, rhubarb, aloe leaf and other herbs that contain anthraquinone glycosides to deal with chronic constipation. Anthraquinone glycosides irritate the lining of the gastrointestinal tract to encourage intestinal activity and contractions called peristalsis. Long-term use of these substances causes discoloration of the intestinal mucous membranes and, more importantly, […] [Read More]

UNDATED (AP) – The "Young and the Restless" is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The CBS show debuted on March 26, 1973. It's been daytime's top-rated soap since 1988. Now, the network says the show is looking to the future by adding younger members to the cast that includes such long-running characters as Nikki and Victor, and Katherine Chancellor. Y-and-R says it also works to hang on to fans through video chats, and getting the veterans to join their younger cast mates on Twitter.

Your insinuation that Ms. Holmes has exploited her hostage experience for personal gain seems unfair. And indeed, the police did cite her as a hero that night: http://bit.ly/naxrnE
Thanks, Johnny. There's been tremendous interest in this story, and we've tried hard to keep people informed while respecting the wishes of the families.
Actually, The Grand Rapids Press started its mental health series on January 23, in response to the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. We've had stories run every month about different mental illness issues. Here is the entire series, and we plan more stories: http://bit.ly/nCNcBh
Mr. fluffy, I don't care if you don't like this story. But you may recall that you used a synonym for a four-letter word. We are responsible for monitoring the comments on our stories, and in this case, it seemed totally out of line.
Please continue to express your likes and dislikes - all we ask is that you do so in a civil manner.
I pulled this picture from an Associated Press story about European cucumbers, so maybe they're differently shaped than our typical cukes.
Indeed, articles that appear in the newspaper go through a more stringent editing process. Traditional newspaper readers seem to care about this distinction, but most web-only readers don't. They consume news with a different mindset.
If it's a concern of yours, I encourage you to subscribe to the newspaper if you don't already. :)
And by the way, I really appreciate your intelligent commenting on this story about the salt and your observations on the fireflies. It's refreshing to see such discussions on MLive!
Actually, every blogger I've featured in this West Michigan Blogs series has been very grateful for the exposure. The point is to feature interesting blogs and by linking to them, we actually increase their audience.
In this case, I didn't go indepth into the cause of the spontaneous combustion (is that not an explosion?), because the point is for people to click through to Matt's blog and read HIS explanation.
If you happen to have a blog, let me know - I'll be more than happy to consider it for this feature!

You're right - my stories are all over the map because as an editor, I fill gaps when I see them. The article by Peter Luke seemed like a worthy one for more discussion.
And by the way, I see your comments often and appreciate that you bring thoughtfulness to the discussion without nasty attacks. Thank you for participating.
I'm not advocating any viewpoint. I simply found it interesting (and refreshing) to see some intelligent comments about welfare reform and wanted to highlight them.
johnny2x2x even agrees that four years is enough, while at the same time pointing out that the cost and extent of welfare programs is much less than people believe. And LiveFromDeltaTownship points out other areas that may save more money than these latest welfare reforms.
It's an interesting discussion to have.
Thanks for clarifying, Christian. Indeed, that was johnny2x2x's remark, not mine.
The purpose of these types of stories is to connect you with other interesting stories on MLive.com, and to let you know what other MLive users are looking at. Usually these stories have been written with the past 24 hours.

Charlie - I confess: I was never a Trekkie.
mrfluffy - this is the web, not The Grand Rapids Press publication, and we use supplied material often, as a service to our readers.
This morning, we've been busy with a police standoff, so the caps seemed rather harmless, considering the situation.
The "convince them to do otherwise" comment was meant in good humor. Sorry you didn't see it that way.
The caps do kind of scream at you, don't they? Sorry about that, but the weather service sends all their advisories out in all caps. Maybe you can convince them to do otherwise. :)
I've notified the folks at MLive. Hopefully they'll soon fix whatever's going on!
I monitor postings on mlive.com/grand-rapids, not the forums. These users appear to be forum fans. I suggest you contact MLive at http://www.mlive.com/contactus/.

Decisions about sexual activity and questions about sexual health offer you a unique challenge. You may feel like there is pressure to engage in sexual activity, to be "just like everyone else," but it is a myth that "everyone else is doing it". You need to seek out the answers that feel right to you, and learn as much as possible about sexual health and preventing sexually transmitted infections (STI's). We hope you will find the following information will help in that endeavor.

On behalf of thousands of school systems across the country, AASA, The School Superintendents Association, applauds the U.S. House of Representatives for supporting the long-awaited reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act by voting in favor of the Student Success Act (HR 5).
Read more
At a time when reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act is moving forward, superintendents from across the country met with members of Congress last week on Capitol Hill to discuss pressing issues facing our nation's schools.
The Wyoming Department of Education has asked its federal counterpart to freeze language arts and math standards established by the No Child Left Behind education law at 2011 levels rather than allow them to increase to 2012 levels for the state.
The U.S. Department of Education has turned down Iowa's No Child Left Behind waiver request, according to a letter sent to Iowa Department of Education Director Jason Glass that was made public Thursday.
A veteran superintendent who has led turnaround efforts in four large U.S. districts has started a new venture that he expects will broaden his reach.
The Vallas Group, headed by Paul Vallas, former head of the Chicago, Philadelphia and New Orleans Recovery districts and currently interim superintendent of the Bridgeport (Conn.) Public Schools, is partnering with Dallas-based Cambium Learning Group to bring his school improvement model to more schools in the nation. With experience on projects in Haiti and Chile, Vallas may even bring the model to other countries as well.
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan wants to get the federal government more involved in schools.
The Barack Obama administration has begun issuing long-awaited waivers giving states some flexibility in complying with the No Child Left Behind education law. But with the exception of politicians, educators and parents in the 11 states that have received them, nobody seems very pleased with the changes.
Monday, the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education released high school graduation rates calculated using a new method.
The Massachusetts education board voted to seek a waiver from the requirements of No Child Left Behind, the federal law once championed by the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy but now viewed by the Obama administration and most states as an unrealistic measure of academic progress.
Signaling some unity in the Senate on overhauling the "No Child Left Behind" law, two senators announced Monday an agreement to move forward on bipartisan legislation to revamp it.

Think I'm just gonna bum around today
If you don't mind that old expression
Literally, I'm gonna goof off and waste time
Feeling lazy in a state of vegetation
These days are happening a lot more often
Became a senior, then suddenly plonk
Maybe it's because of my afternoon naps
I watch the tube and then zonk
Need to get active like the good old days
A whipper snapper all full of beans
The world was my oyster, yuck I hated oysters
Wearing skin tight faded blue jeans
Love bumming around, it's good for the soul
It also puts hair on your chest
Now ladies, I really love nice smooth boobies
So ya better stay active I suggest
Phew! Got quite hot and bothered for a bit
At my age, better cool it I'd say
Gonna goof off, waste time, vegetate for a bit
Eating bonbons, ogling ladies all day!

Brunswick Town Council support may be sought for Oxford Aviation, which could lose Fryeburg operation
BRUNSWICK — The Town Council could soon help determine the fate of Oxford Aviation's expansion plans at Brunswick Naval Air Station, a project that's come under increased scrutiny because of the private firm's past performance.
The company's performance was expected to be examined Wednesday night in Fryeburg, where local airport officials were planning to discuss revoking Oxford Aviation's lease.
In Brunswick, according to Town Manager Gary Brown and the executive director of the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority, the council may be asked to authorize a $400,000 Community Development Block Grant application that could be used to assist MRRA's purchase of an $800,000 paint booth to accommodate Oxford Aviation's plans to refurbish jetliner-sized aircraft at BNAS.
Steve Levesque, MRRA's executive director, in August said MRRA would own the paint booth and lease it to Oxford Aviation for its planned Brunswick Jet Division. Levesque added that the council will be asked in October to make the town the conduit for the CDBG funding.
Brown said Tuesday that he isn't sure if MRRA's request will precede the authority's Oct. 20 vote on a lease agreement with Oxford Aviation.
But the outcome of that vote – and the council's CDBG authorization – is increasingly in doubt.
Oxford Aviation's plans to create the Brunswick Jet Division has been closely examined since MRRA signed a memorandum of understanding with the company a year ago, and most recently, following a report highlighting the company's failed attempt to create the Sanford Jet Division, its political connections and inability to follow through on job creation requirements in exchange for state or federal grants. The report also raised questions about state politicians using Oxford Aviation's job promises to champion economic development achievements.
Members of the authority's board of directors have refused to comment publicly about the pending lease agreement, perhaps because of a reluctance to rile Oxford Aviation's boosters in Augusta. The latter include John Richardson, the commissioner of the state Department of Economic and Community Development, who is a MRRA board member and a potential gubernatorial candidate.
In the past the company has received strong endorsements from Gov. John Baldacci. Baldacci is responsible for nominating MRRA directors.
It's unclear if the company's political alliances will impact the council's decision to authorize the CDBG application. Several councilors have publicly expressed skepticism about bringing the company to the base, including at-large Councilor Debbie Atwood.
Atwood on Sept. 19 e-mailed Levesque to say that comments from resident Pem Schaeffer and recent news reports left her feeling "unsettled" about the company's Brunswick expansion plans.
Councilor Karen Klatt expressed similar feelings on Monday, while Councilor Ben Tucker said Wednesday that he would not support the CDBG authorization.
Meanwhile, it's unclear if other councilors will be swayed by promises that the town will be held harmless financially in the CDBG authorization. During Monday's council meeting, Brown set the stage for that when he told the council that he would seek such language before bringing the grant forward.
"We're going to make sure we're the conduit and (Oxford Aviation or MRRA) is responsible financially," Brown reiterated Tuesday. "If we can't secure that kind of language from MRRA, we won't recommend it to the council."
Brown is a MRRA director whose term expires this year; whether he is reappointed is up to Baldacci. He is one of two Brunswick representatives on the 11-member board, a ratio that has drawn concerns from some Brunswick councilors who worry the town may be losing influence in the redevelopment process.
Brown acknowledged that he could face political pressure to pitch the grant in such a way to encourage the council's CDBG authorization, but said that hasn't happened.
Prior to Monday's council meeting, Brown said he hadn't had any discussions with MRRA or state officials about the grant.
"I spoke with Commissioner Richardson (Tuesday)," Brown said later. "He understands that the town can't be put at risk if (Oxford Aviation) fails to perform its obligations."
Although that assurance could ease councilors' concerns about Oxford Aviation's ability to fulfill grant requirements, it may not eliminate questions about the company's deteriorating relationship with Oxford County, which earlier this year sued the company for breaking its lease agreement by repeatedly withholding rent payments.
Oxford Aviation's performance has also become an issue at the Eastern Slopes Regional Airport in Fryeburg, where the company runs a small avionics shop and is the airport's fixed base operator. According to airport manager Dave Cullinan, The Eastern Slopes Airport Authority was scheduled to meet Wednesday. The executive committee, Cullinan said, could discuss Oxford Aviation's repeated failure to pay rent and fulfill its duties at the airport.
Neither Cullinan nor authority Chairman Don Thibodeau returned calls Thursday to confirm if the board took any formal action against Oxford Aviation.
Meanwhile, Oxford County's legal battle with Oxford Aviation continues. Oxford Aviation last year initiated the dispute when it sued the county over mold problems in the county-owned hanger. The $935,000 expansion of the hanger was facilitated by the state economic development office in 1996 when it pulled together a complex package of grants, loans and tax incentives for the company.
In return for public funding, the company was supposed to create 50 jobs. Grant close-out documents obtained through a Freedom of Access request show that Oxford Aviation created just 15 jobs. According to a Dec. 20, 1999, letter to the town of Oxford, DECD signed off on the job requirement because of "current and likely circumstances." The letter did not elaborate.
Despite an estimated $5 million investment by Oxford County, the state and federal agencies, the size of Oxford Aviation's workforce continues to be a moving target. In a column published in The Forecaster, Horowitz said he employed more than 50 workers. However, in an Aug. 28 interview, he said he employed about 65 people.
Oxford Aviation, often through high-profile attorney F. Lee Bailey, has promised to create about 200 jobs at the Brunswick Jet Division.
Brown said he is not sure when the Town Council will be asked to authorize the CDBG grant. Councilors are expected to hold a workshop with MRRA leaders on Monday, Sept. 28, to discuss the town's role in the redevelopment process.

Baby O is one month old. My son, my last born child, the tiny 5 pound little man, is one month old. And I can already picture him walking out of the house in 18 years, loading his car, heading off to college and watching with both pride and tears of remembering the time he was one month old.
We've come a long way, Baby O, from people joking about the beach ball under my shirt to those gawking at the beautiful boy I hold. For whatever reason, yours or my body's, you blessed us almost a month early because you knew we couldn't wait to love on you. You grew strong quickly in the NICU and dozens upon dozens of people prayed for you and cheered you on. They cheered us all on as we sat by your side every day stroking your arm and whispering words of love and encouragement in your very tiny ears. The first time I held you, I cried. The second time I held you, I cried. The third time I held you I fell asleep thanking the world for bringing in such a lovely little man and trusting me with this very tiny life, knowing we would grow together. And we have.
We brought you home and you blossomed. You've gained nearly two ounces a day each day you've been here. You're a strong little guy now and you pick up your head as you lay on my chest to stare in to my eyes. You're curious about the world around you and you grunt and talk to everyone. Your sister has a run for her money in the talking department. You get that from me.
You're working on learning the difference between day and night. I don't mind that I get hours to hold you while you snore lightly. I'm never sorry to hear your noises as you wake up to feed. instead, I think briefly how insanely tired I am, how I'd love to keep sleeping, but then you remind me there are bigger things in the world and I am needed and loved. It makes it ok because I know it's not going to last that long and one day you'll grumble as I lean in to kiss your cheek and I'll remember the hours we sat and rocked in the middle of the night. I'll be proud of how grown up you are, but I will miss my tiny man.
I can't promise that I'll be great at doing these monthly updates. But I don't want to forget your newborn-hood. I don't want to forget how amazing it is when you gaze at me, when you snuggle between my breasts and sleep the most soundly you have all day. I don't want to forget the smell of your head or the suck-suck-suck rhythm of your soothie. I know this time goes fast, so insanely fast, that even when the nights feel long or the days feel longer, one day I'll look back and wonder when you grew up.
For now, though, I'm thankful you're one month old. We're enjoying you, little man. And we love you so.
He's so beautiful! Happy One Month Birthday, Baby O!
By MGM on 2007 06 21
Happy 1 month baby O!! God it goes way to fast- Hudson just turned 5 months and I wish it was still month one..too stinking fast! I almost want to cry each time he turns another month older because we will never get those days back- babyhood is so so short!

Paradise Island, Bahamas (SportsNetwork.com) - Pe'Shon Howard had a game-high 23 points and seven assists, as the USC Trojans claimed an 84-78 win over the Xavier Musketeers in the final round of the Battle 4 Atlantis at Imperial Arena.
Byron Wesley was next in line with 15 points, while Julian Jacobs tallied 14 points, seven rebounds and seven assists to help the Trojans (5-3) snap a two- game slide. Nikola Jovanovic chipped in with 12 points and a game-high eight rebounds off the bench.
Semaj Christon scored 21 points and dished out seven assists for the Musketeers (5-3), who suffered their third straight loss. Christon also committed seven of his team's 19 turnovers on the day. Myles Davis added 16 points, Matt Stainbrook scored 14, and Isaiah Philmore finished with 10 off the bench.
Xavier led by as many as five midway through the first half, but USC closed the period on a 27-11 run to take a 45-34 lead into the break. The Trojans enjoyed a key 13-3 edge in points off turnovers during the opening frame.
USC pushed its lead to 24 at the 8:46 mark of the second stanza before the Musketeers put together a late charge. However, they were never able to come all the way back as they shot 39 percent from the floor and made only 9-of-17 free throws over the final 20 minutes.
The Trojans managed to get the easier buckets for much of the game, as they had 22 assists on 30 field goals and also enjoyed a 21-10 edge in fast-break points.

Urbane Renewal: Chapter 2
Part 2 of the Urbane Renewal series. See Part 1: Hail, Caesars! Casinos Go Green
Donna and Matt never rent a car for their twice-yearly Las Vegas getaways. They don't take taxis, either. This may seem odd since their lodging of choice, the Rio, is a half-mile west of the Strip and has plenty of free parking. But the savvy couple knows free, reliable and colorful ways to traverse America's urban fantasyland.
For example, they can stroll along a pedestrian walkway from the Rio's front entrance, across safety-fenced bridges far above the freeways, to Caesars Palace on the Strip. The walk takes under 20 minutes and, helpfully, burns some calories. Matt and Donna also take the Rio's free shuttle that drops off at two locations on the Strip. I met them on the shuttle going to Bally's.
As we walk from Bally's across one of the pretty stone pedestrian bridges that save visitors from scary attempts to cross Las Vegas Boulevard, they point out the sleek $5 Monorailthat speeds up and down the Strip in 15 minutes. But we bypass the Monorail entrance so they can show me the lovely conservatory inside the Bellagio, and the path to one of several free trams that connect various Strip resorts.
"Always look up – all the casinos have [directional] signs hanging from the ceilings," advises Donna; each property along the Strip is the size of a village. "You don't want to get lost. A wrong turn can waste a half-hour, easy."
We eventually reach a platform for an elevated tram that glides to the new CityCenter and the Monte Carlo, where we disembark and resume walking. They go to shop as I continue sightseeing on the Strip, oogling such spectacles as the Eiffel Tower replica at the Paris resort. I'm walking off the delicious veg-based dishes sampled at the Rio's World Carnival Buffet.
In Vegas, business and government endeavors have greatly reduced the number of trips by car and tons of emissions. Commerce may have been a bigger driver than environmental concerns. but a greener Vegas has resulted from providing tourists, employees, gamers and shoppers with walkways, bridges, shuttles, trams, the Monorail and the extensive Citizen Area Transit (CAT) bus system.
The concept of "central location" has been redefined in the Vegas ecosystem. That's evident at the Rio, a Caesars Entertainment resort, with its shuttle, which runs 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily, and the bridge cross-over. Those transit options made it easy to get to Caesars Palace, where I enjoyed "Absinthe," a fabulous show at Caesars Palace, vegan selections at Beijing Noodle No. 9, veganized organic dishes at Ogden Bradley and a zen-inducing visit to Qua, the Roman-themed resort's sumptuous spa.
The Rio has plenty of entertainment on-site, with a free Mardi Gras-themed shows in the Masquerade Village casino, two of the city's top-rated buffets, a beach with sand surrounding several pools that are popular during warmer months. Awe-inspiring views compete with hot DJs spinning tunes at the VooDoo Lounge, an indoor-outdoor nightclub on the 51st floor. The glass elevator that speeds along an outer wall doubles as a thrill ride.
Affordable lodging attracts frequent visitors from the surrounding region. Such "staycations" allow travelers to spend less time and fewer miles getting to their getaways. The Rio also welcomes children and companion animals.
Behind the glitz are green efforts undertaken as part of Caesars Entertainment's CodeGreen described in a previous article. Director of Corporate Sustainability Gwen Migita told me that the Rio was one of seven Caesars properties to earn a Travelife Gold sustainable tourism award. Rio is also Green Hotel-certified from Travelocity. Its measures include:
Energy co-generation. Eight years ago the Rio installed a five megawatt co-generation facility, generating electricity on-site and recapturing waste heat for hot water in the resort's lodging towers. The facility reduces energy losses through transmission and markedly improves on-site energy efficiency.
Golf course landscaping.Over a four year period, nearly 600,000 square feet of turf was removed from Rio Secco to establish a more natural setting that requires less treatment and water. Water usage has dropped by 23 million gallons annually through using recycled water and other conservation efforts.
"Green Farmers Market" events. Wares have included fashion and crafts made by employees from recycled materials.
Tree planting. In a partnership with Trinity Oaks, a sustainably produced organic Napa wine, a tree is planted for every bottle sold.
Assuming the trees are native to the area, that's something to toast.

Castros go Vogue
By Gilbert Garcia : February 14, 2013 : Updated: February 14, 2013 8:03pm
Photo By Mayor Julián Castro via Twitter
Mayor Julián Castro tweeted a snapshot of the story featuring him and brother Joaquin in the March 2013 edition of Vogue magazine.
The March issue of Vogue features a Jacob Weisberg piece on SA's first brothers — Mayor Julián and U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro — but the real mind-bender comes from the fact that the stylish pictures accompanying the article were shot by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz.
Leibowitz, who built her reputation by convincing celebrities to strike unconventional poses for Rolling Stone magazine (remember a naked Lauren Hutton covered in mud?) snapped images outside the mayor's current residence and even captured the twins — with mother Rosie — sitting around the kitchen of their West Side childhood home.
As for the article itself, the most revelatory item comes from this tidbit: Actress Eva Longoria sends Joaquin instructional tapes to help him with his Spanish.

A synopsis of a UBTech 2013 featured session by Mark Greenfield, director of the office of web services at University of Buffalo.
Today's mass education system, which was built for the mass production economy of the 20th century, is inadequate for the demands of the new millennium. A complete paradigm shift will be required, and as higher education moves from a vertically integrated model to a horizontal model, there will be considerable disruption.
Here's what I see as the future of higher education and some important trends going forward.
What if we could really make "mass" education become "my" education and came up with technology that allowed people to learn at their own pace? That is the direction higher ed is going. The train is leaving, Greenfield says, and if we want to survive, we must all get on board.

PHOENIX (AP) Authorities are trying to determine whether a man who flew from Texas to Phoenix has tuberculosis, but a public health official says any risk to passengers on his flight is extremely low even if it turns out he does have the infectious respiratory illness.
About 70 passengers on the weekend US Airways Express flight from Austin, Texas, were kept on board until after responders boarded and removed the man, who was asked to put on a medical mask.
Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine is medical director of Maricopa County's disease control division. She says the man is being tested at a hospital.
Sunenshine says any risk of spreading tuberculosis on the flight - if the man even has TB - would have been extremely low because the man was not coughing or sneezing.

Hey Emilee -- I found these at the Trussville Walmart.
That's a great tip Ginger! Thanks for posting
Thanks again CPTSABRE --- I would hate for folks to be disappointed as well. Great tip for those of us who aren't familiar with racing. I'm sure my boys would be more entertained by a short track for the very reason you shared -- lots more action.
Thanks CPTSABRE -- I mistakenly relied upon the Living Social photo they included with the deal. I shouldn't have trusted them. I will remove the photo and replace it. Thanks for pointing it out. I have not been to either location.
Thanks again -- Christie
Riverdog777 -- You might have overlooked the Alexa and the 8th Continent products. I'm not big on judging what other people buy and decide to bring into their homes -- however I will say this -- as with anything moderation is key. We don't know what Tab's family life is like, we don't know what she was doing with these products and we don't know how much of the product she consumes in one day, week or year. If you have a savings trip that features what you call non-crap food items then please send me a picture at cdedman at bhamnews dot com and I will gladly share it with readers.
That's a wonderful idea!!! Great tip MSPETE!
Hey TWOODLEY -- Thanks for the question -- it's 42 pounds -- sorry for the typo. Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention. I fixed it.
Hey Bodda Ghetto -- Have fun - -if you make it and think to take a picture email me at cdedman@bhamnews dot com and I'll share it as an update here on the blog. Thanks Christie
Ok -- looks like I need to set one up at The News and invite you two over. I'm pretty sure I can convert ya. I'll clean up afterwards :)
Actually they're playing it again right now. You do know that kids play with boxes more than toys right?
You two are so funny.
Plaidpenguin -- If you don't want to call it Angry Birds you could call it Angry Penguins -- It may not look fun for your age group but the 4, 5 and 7 year-old audience enjoyed it.
Hey SigFreud -- sorry for some reason the moderators marked your first comment spam. I went back and published it.
I'm sorry that experience happened today -- I hope you'll take it to their customer relations line -- they are prompt to respond to problems such as these.
That is a wise move to keep a written list of coupons you plan to use. https://www.publix.com/contact/SendUsAMessage.do
Also they have a super active Facebook page -- www.facebook.com/publix -- I guarantee you'll get a response by posting your experience there.
Let me know what happens if you decide to share your observations with their customer relations departments.
Thanks also for the tip about the blog button. It's super annoying I know. I've put in a request numerous times to get it fixed. You can avoid it by visiting www.al.com/shop/birmingham or blog.al.com/bargain-mom.
Thanks again for being a loyal reader.
I know right! -- I've been waiting for a good price but the kids are relentless :)
Thanks DADDY2BOys -- My sincerest apologies for the incorrect info. Christie
Thanks WEGL77 and DADDY2BOYS -- thanks for the update on that. I apologize for the misrepresentation.
Great question CA2927 -- Auburn's mascot is an American Bald Eagle.
Hey Angela- There was a new one released yesterday I mentioned it on the blog. Also there's one that expires on the 17th so you could get the deal Saturday night when CVS locations offer both sales after 6 p.m. or so.
I took this picture at a local Winn Dixie. You won't find them in Walmart 9 times out of 10
I can't believe how quickly we got to this point too. However, I love Forsythia!

Should Brands Go Dark on Social Media After Disaster?
There's a new best practice in social media marketing. In an era where communications is continuous and real-time, there's a directive to go dark in times of disaster.
When the last public tragedy occurred (maybe it was the Sandy Hook shooting) I saw a number of brands I follow on social media announce they'd be taking a moment of silence for the remainder of the day out of respect or remembrance for the victims of the horrific events that occurred.
After Monday's Boston Marathon bombing, one of the fashion blogs I follow tweeted this:
"Hearts go out to loved ones known and unknown in Boston. Moment of silence the rest of the day for victims of senseless violence everywhere."

Following "First Terrorist Attacks of the Social Media Generation," Twitter and Facebook Prove Invaluable
Yesterday's terrorist attack in Boston occurred at 2:56 p.m., with back-to-back explosions as runners finished the Boston Marathon. Immediately, people took to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to share news, pictures, thoughts and prayers. By 4 p.m., there were 38,000 tweets containing "Boston." By 6 p.m., that figure rose to 62,468, and by 7 p.m., the total number of tweets regarding Boston was at 96,923. As of 5 p.m. today, there have been 411,636 tweets about Boston.
In the immediate aftermath of what ABC News called "the first terrorist attacks of the social media generation," social media proved its worth as a source of information.
Many people were without cellphones, and those that did have them struggled to get service as heavy usage flooded the cellular networks. Here, Facebook and Twitter were valuable resources as runners and spectators on the scene were able to tweet their locations to the people they were trying to locate or to alert friends and family afar that of their status.

Facebook Ads Campaigns: Easy as 1-2-3-4!
OK, well maybe a Facebook Ads campaign really isn't as elementary as counting to four, but with the right approach, your business can be off and running with a clear path and a test budget to see just how much those social ads can impact your engagement and conversions. If you're new to the concept of Facebook Ads, you probably have a lot of questions like:
-Where do I begin?
-What makes a good campaign?
-What if I only have a small budget to start?
These are the questions we asked Tal Baron of DataXu, speaker at upcoming SES New York conference, where he'll be tackling the topic of Facebook Ads. And while Facebook Ads take skill, the four-step approach Tal lays out in this post to create successful campaigns makes it manageable for those who are just starting out.

Air Force Tech. Sgt. Matthew Slaydon was wounded Oct. 24, 2007, while inspecting an improvised explosive device in Kirkuk, Iraq. He and his wife, Annette, spent 15 months at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio while he recovered from his injuries and figured out what life after the Air Force would mean. <More

Last.fm says that I have 99% compatibility with this festival so good thing I went!
This is a review but it is also a re-experience. I am going to go thru the festival as I saw it, thru my eyes and the video cameras of the lovely people that have posted their videos on youtube.
Fell asleep when the sun was coming up and woke up a few hours later. Waited in a long ass line to get into the venue, but at least Portland's own All The Apparatus was playing for the folks who were waiting. They were really good and even covered Nantes which was the perfect song for a beautiful sunny day in the Gorge.
Brother Ali was the first act we caught. He was fun, played a lot of songs of The Undisputed Truth which is a really great record. DJ Snuggles blew everyone away with his beatboxing skillz.
We scooted up front for Minus the Bear. The sound was really good, spot on.
(<3 this song)
Much better than the last time I saw them in Portland, when everything was a little off, you know. Minus the Bear needs to be spot on to be good. I thought it was a really great set, even if they did choose the songs with the cheesiest lyrics possible. I really do like OMNI (LOVE the synth), but the sensual lyrics are awkward coming out of Jake Snider's mouth, being sung the way he sings them. It is like he is going in for a soft caress but ends up poking you in the eye. Or you are making out with them and then your teeth touch. *shudders* Anyways, here is the setlist, and as a bonus, my favorite cheesy quote from each song:
1. Knights "I owe you, don't I" or "A piece of you for a piece of me"
2. My Time "the sweat rolls down your thigh"
3. Summer Angel "My summer angel keeps me on the run"
4. Pachuca Sunrise "Is it possible to put this night to tune and move it to you?"
5. Secret Country "Swim through my time/As I float out to you/I dream of your caress" or "Your rain soaked pirouette/Spins me around again"
6. Into The Mirror "her hunter eyes lock on her prey" or "you get what you pay for/we could cost a lot."
7. Throwin' Shapes "she'll wrap the sheets around us, forget the sun"
8. Hold Me Down "I'm in the wind, I don't know how long the breeze will let me stay"
9. Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse nothing cheesy about this song
Next on the mainstage was Brad, let's pretend that never happened.
After that was OK Go. I was sleeping, but I heard them play "Get Over It" and that treadmill song. They seemed fun.
Broken Social Scene: They were beautiful, although I really hate it sometimes when old bands come out with new albums and you just want to hear them play You Forgot It In People but they only play 2 songs from it. I listened to them sitting on the grass, which I think was better than standing. Here was the setlist (thanks to setlist.fm for about half of these):
1. World Sick
2. Stars & Sons <3
3. Texaco Bitches
4. 7/4 Shoreline
5. fire eyed boy
6. Forced to Love
7. Art House Director
8. Cause = Time <3
9. All to All
10. Sweetest Kill
11. Meet Me In the Basement
Vampire Weekend: I thought I hated this band, but I was totally wrong. They seemed so appropriate for the sunset timeslot and Giving up the Gun made me smile.
deadmau5: Hella trippy. I actually really liked his show overall, but I don't get why it is so good. I mean he just does the same thing over and over again for like 10 minutes. Perhaps it's the lights or something, but somehow he is just awesome. Check it out:
They Might Be Giants put on a puppet show. It was hilarious and uncomfortable at the same time.
Kid Cudi: What an ego Kid Cudi has and I absolutely love it. Not just anyone could pull off the "When I say 'Kid' you say 'Cudi'" routine like he did. Or the massive man ring that he wore. I loved that he played Memories because I think it summarizes Sasquatch as a whole for me: "All the crazy shit I did tonight/Those will be the best memories" <3
It was amusing to watch the male-dominated Kid Cudi crowd be replaced with the female-dominated Tegan and Sara crowd. I thought those two girls were cute and I'm starting to think I need to get their CD! I loved Back in Your Head it was soo good live.
LCD Soundsystem was one of the best this weekend.
Setlist (from setlist.fm)
1. Us v Them
2. Drunk Girls
3. Pow Pow
4. Daft Punk Is Playing at My House
5. I Can Change
6. Tribulations
7. Movement
8. Yeah
9. All My Friends
LCD Soundsystem was pure genius. Forgive me if this comparison has been made before, but they are the modern day version of Talking Heads, specifically off the album Stop Making Sense. C'mon the sing-talking, the use of repetition, the build ups... I just kept expecting Psycho Killer to be the next song. I couldn't find a good video that really illustrated this point but you'll have to trust me. And dancing. Now, at my alma mater there is a semiannual Stop Making Sense dance party which gets pretty crazy but NOTHING could compare to the dance party that was happening in the audience. Everyone was moving, everyone was dancing, and even if you had never heard this band before, you figured out the lyrics and sung along. What collective effervescence.
Down in the Rumpus Room, A-TRAK played "Heads Will Roll" (Yeah Yeah Yeahs remix) and someone gave us some glow sticks. Back on the main stage, Massive Attack depressed me by flashing these numbers on the screen like how many slaves were sent to America and how many gallons of oil were spilled in the gulf. Some people really liked them though.
[ loud vid ]
The line was too long to make it to Seattle Rock Orchestra's tribute to Funeral by The Arcade Fire, but I could hear it from the line and sung along. I hear it was amazing.
Don't you love it when a band lives up to their name? Passion Pit was exactly that. I was already in a good mood and then they started playing. Their music is like pure bubbles of esctacy. I joined a dance party/passion pit on the hill. Everyone went crazy when they played Sleepyhead and I also loved I've Got Your Number, Smile Upon Me, Better Things (!!!) and all the other songs (if anyone has the setlist, please share!) They sounded exactly like the CD (how in the world does he sing like that?) except even better. THANK YOU Passion Pit if you are reading this for sharing your cosmic energy with me.
From the pit: [ shaky -don't watch if you get motion sickness easily ]
From the hill:
She & Him were good but it was hard to listen when you were busy fantasizing about Zooey Deschanel. Damn you Ben Gibbard.
Band of Horses were okay. One of my favorite bands on CD but the live show was ho-hum.
MGMT disappointed me at first, but made everything better when they played Kids. I think Kids is probably one of the greatest songs ever made. My favorite part was when everyone sung the kids melody do do do do dodo dodo dooooo dooooo. But I don't care much for their new stuff, I mean it sounds okay but it's nothing special. I'm glad they played Time to Pretend and Electric Feel too.
I love how the band gets really into this song, and I love the part at the end.
Ween was so weird. But they actually do have a good live show and they sure know how to rock out.
Boys Noize ended the night right for me. Sometimes you need to dance.
Regrets- bands I missed
Local Natives
The xx
The New Pornographers (but I saw them in 2008)
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Public Enemy
Miike Snow
Either I didn't make it there early enough, or I didn't want to watch them on the Bigfoot stage (which sucked). Many of these bands were too big for the bigfoot stage, IMO.
Wow. After writing this review, I really feel like it was totally worth the price of the tickets. And I didn't even include the afterparties, the crazy costumes, all the nice canadians, the day drinking, the campfire food, and bonding with friends new and old. "I must admit now going down with this ship/I couldn't have a better crew to travel with." Love you Sasquatch! See you in 2011??

The Aiken Book Club is reading The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Its a classic tale about Hester Pryne and her life in a Puritan town right before the Salem Witch Trials. - Katherine Courtney, Aiken
When it first appeared in 1850, The Scarlet Letter enjoyed scandalous success. New England critics condemned its passionate subject matter. One critic complained that Nathaniel Hawthorne invested adultery with all the fascination of genius, and all the charms of a highly polished style. My preliminary chapter, wryly noted the author, has caused the greatest uproar that has happened here since witch-times. As she emerges from the prison of a Puritan New England town, Hester Prynne defies the dark gloom much as the rose blooms against the prison door. With her illegitimate baby, Pearl, clutched in her arms and the letter A the mark of an adulteress embroidered in scarlet thread on her breast, Hester holds her head high as she faces the malice and scorn of the townsfolk. Her powerful, bittersweet story is an American classic that continues to touch the hearts of modern readers with its timeless themes of guilt, passion and repentance. barnesandnoble.com

The Letters of General Richard S. EwellStonewall's Successor
Pfanz, Donald C., ed.
Cloth Edition, $44.95t
Cloth ISBN: 1-57233-873-3
Status: In Print
Publication Date: 11/30/2012
Description"The Letters of General Richard S. Ewell provide a sweeping view of the nineteenth century. Such chronological breadth makes this volume truly exceptional and important. Through Ewell's eyes we see the many worlds of an American people at war. His thoughtful observations, biting wit, and ironic disposition offer readers a chance to rethink the paper-thin generalizations of Ewell as a quirky neurotic who simply crumbled under the legacy of Stonewall Jackson." —from the foreword by Peter S. Carmichael
Richard S. Ewell was one of only six lieutenant generals to serve in Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, and of those he was but one of two—the other being Stonewall Jackson, his predecessor as commander of the Second Corps—to have left behind a sizable body of correspondence. Forty-nine of Ewell's letters were published in 1939. This new volume, drawing on more recently available material and scrupulously annotated by Ewell biographer Donald Pfanz, offers a much larger collection of the general's missives: 173 personal letters, 7 official letters, 4 battle narratives, and 2 memoranda of incidents that took place during the Civil War.
The book covers the full range of Ewell's career: his days at West Point, his posting on the western frontier, his role in the Mexican War, his Civil War service, and, finally, his postwar years managing farms in Tennessee and Mississippi. Some historians have judged Ewell harshly, particularly for his failure to capture Cemetery Hill on the first day at Gettysburg, but Pfanz contends that Ewell was in fact a brilliant combat general whose overall record, which included victories at the battles of Cross Keys, Second Winchester, and Fort Harrison, was one of which any commanding officer could be proud. Although irritable and often critical of others, Ewell's correspondence shows him to have been generous toward subordinates, modest regarding his own accomplishments, and upright in both his professional and personal relationships. His letters to family and friends are a mixture of wry humor and uncommon sense. No one who reads them will view this important general in quite the same way again.
DONALD C. PFANZ is the author of Richard S. Ewell: A Soldier's Life, Abraham Lincoln at City Point, and War So Terrible: A Popular History of the Battle of Fredericksburg.

Astra International on Wednesday introduced its new low-cost green car, with the price tag expected at less than $10,000.
To be sold as both the Toyota Agya and Daihatsu Ayla, the car is being produced cooperatively by Toyota Motor Corporation and
Daihatsu Motor Company. It is the third car collaboration between Toyota
and Daihatsu, after their Avanza-Xenia and Rush-Terios models.
"We believe with the fuel subsidy difficulties, low fuel consumption cars will get a positive response," said Prijono Sugiarto, the president director of Astra International. "The demand for environmentally [friendly] cars is increasing along with global warming. This car answers both problems."
"The designer of the car is an Indonesian named Mark Wijaya," Prijono added.
The car reportedly consumes just one liter for every 30 kilometers driven. The aluminum-bodied "city car" carries up to five passengers.
The car will be produced in the new factory of Astra Daihatsu Motor in East Karawang, West Java.
Amelia Tjandra, marketing director for Astra Daihatsu Motor, said the price of the car, with four variants, will range from Rp 75 million ($7,900) for the most basic option (without AC, power steering, radio) to Rp 105 million.
"The price is subject to change depending on the government's policy [on low-cost green cars, or LCGC], but people can start booking," Amelia said.
Sudirman MR, president director of Astra Daihatsu Motor, said the price could be below Rp 100 million if the government freed up LCGCs from additional luxury goods taxes.
