There is another hard-copy petition circulating with even more signatures of those wanting to block the chain discount store from their community.
Larry Brocato owns a home two blocks from the proposed location of the Dollar General Store, on
Brocato is a full-time resident and has lived there since 2009. He is president of the Historic South Inlet Beach Association that represents 200 homes.
Brocato said the signs went up on the property a couple of months ago, announcing that a Dollar General would be coming soon.
"I'm not sure we need it there," he said. "We have a Publix, Winn Dixie, and CVS, all within a mile of here. And when you look at Dollar General's architecture, it is not consistent of what you see at historic
He also objects to the traffic problems the store might create.
"There have been a lot of accidents at that intersection and it is a safety concern. There would be no way for cars that come from the east to go back east without making a U-turn," he said.
While Brocato says he has been to Dollar Generals before, he will not do his shopping there if the store is built.
"This is an important part of 98. It's part of the Scenic Corridor," he said. "A store has to be compatible and show there is a need."
He feels it is important for the developer to meet with homeowners in
Representatives of Dollar General commented to The Sun via email stating:
"Dollar General is committed to serving our neighbors by providing everyday low prices in a small, easy-to-shop, convenient format. We are offering shoppers in Inlet beach a value alternative. Our prices are on par with the supercenters and are roughly 20% better than an average grocery store and 40 percent better than an average drug store. Dollar General has a well-regarded reputation for exemplary corporate citizenship, and we intend to reinforce our long history of giving back to the communities served by our stores.
"This parcel of land where our proposed store will be located is commercially zoned. Dollar General has worked diligently to comply with local codes and building requirements in

Bogalusa to remove driving hazards from cemetery
Rails, cement posts, railroad ties and other objects set on corner cemetery plots to prevent drive-overs will be removed from a city-owned cemetery as hazards to cars and trucks.
People have been making claims against the city for damage to their vehicles from objects on city property in Ponemah Cemetery, The Daily News (http://bit.ly/YaH7ek) reported.
Public Works Director James Hall said he understands that people are just trying to protect their loved ones' remains. That's OK on the 20-by-20 plots they own, but not on city property, he said.
"They can't put up a hazard that the city is responsible for," he said. "Now we're starting to get claims. I don't know if it's because of bigger automobiles or careless drivers, but even funeral homes are complaining. They can't get a hearse around."
The city is giving everyone until the new year to move the items onto their plots.
In January, the city will pull up any remaining hazards and fill the holes in with sand, Hall said. Anyone who "puts one back" will be ticketed, he said.

A Universal Token
Gail Belmont is being recognized as a Champion of Change for her dedication to service and her continued support for fellow veterans.
As a Vietnam veteran and founding member of Quilts of Honor America, I am honored for the opportunity to support our warriors and veterans. My service in the Army began with playing Taps at the services of our fallen warriors and I have since found great duty and honor in being able to show my gratitude for those who have served and continue to serve our country. I am overwhelmed with gratitude to be awarded a Champion of Change by the White House.
Cpl. George A. Burrows, USMC 1968-1969, wrote me with these words, "Thank You for the Quilt, it's beautiful. It's something I will not only use but will pass down to my grandson with the story of how I got it. What you people are doing means more than you could know to people like me. When I came home from Nam [Vietnam] we were not honored. This Quilt is MY WELCOME HOME!" His letter is a resounding sentiment that I have heard countless times. It is these words and other similar sentiments that have been our inspirations in forming and growing Quilts of Honor America.
Quilts of Honor are made by loving hands of volunteers who wish to present high-quality, handmade, and long-armed quilts as a token of honor in appreciation to our warriors and veterans. Our mission is to bestow a universal symbol and token of thanks, solace, and remembrance to those who serve, past and present, in harm's way to protect and defend our lives and freedoms. We exist to organize volunteers, who create patriotic quilts to be awarded to those who have willingly chosen to commit their lives to our country's safety and protection.
The stories and words of wisdom and gratitude from those we are lucky enough to honor touch our hearts and change our lives. It is their sentiments that encourage us to continue our mission. To know that we have touched the heart of one veteran or encouraged the morale of one warrior is an honor in and of itself. One such letter was sent to us from a particular marine that served in the 1/8th Marines. His letter came after we awarded 20 quilts to the surviving and active duty members of the 1/8th Marines. This unit lost a total of 30 men during Operation Enduring Freedom and many of the surviving men were suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. He stated that upon receipt of our quilt he was overwhelmed with the same joy he experienced with the birth of his son. The honor of knowing we had cared enough to send him a token of our gratitude for his service had touched him so mightily he had wept.
More recently we received an e-mail from the mother of another Marine, this particular Marine is part of the 3/8 Marines (most of whom are between the ages of 18 and 19). The e-mail was entitled, "Long Overdue", and proceeded to explain that 2 years ago her son had received a quilt from QOH. Since that time, she had continued to follow our program onlineand in the newspapers, and she had finally decided to write with her sincerest thanks for our gift to her son. She told us how touched her son had been by our gift and that upon return of each tour or rest he would go to the bedroom where she kept his quilt and hold it in his arms for a while. She said that recently he had been deployed to Afghanistan and had asked her to watch over his quilt, and now she is the one who finds comfort in the quilt. Each time she experiences a day where she misses him unbearably, she goes to the bedroom and takes the quilt into her arms and holds it to feel closer to her son.
Each letter we receive and story we hear has encouraged us to continue furthering our growth and provide a morale boost for our troops and continued honor and healing to our veterans. We hope and pray that more people feel called to be involved in the creation and distribution of the quilts to those who deserve them most as they support and defend our freedom.
Gail Belmont is the founder and member of Quilts of Honor.

Head Coach Wes Moore
"Again we got off to a slow start. I don't know if we can afford to keep doing that but I was really proud of the way our kids came out in the second half. We were getting beat pretty bad on the boards in the first half. That had happened at their place so we knew that was a critical part of the game. I thought we did a better job in the second half. I thought Whitney Hood in the second half asserted herself on the block and got us going and got us some momentum. Obviously, Taylor Hall down the stretch hitting some big three's for us was a welcome sight. Kylie Lambert did some good things for us offensively. But it was really a team win. I thought defensively our kids were great. They took away their top options and helped each other. It was a great team win from that perspective. Hopefully that's something we can build on going towards the tournament."
On the energy his small lineup brought in the second half
"It was a small lineup but those kids are going to play hard and make plays. Kavonne has done that for us all year. Kayla Freeman just needed an opportunity. She's a different type player than a Whitney Hood or a Faith Dupree in that she's built more to go around people and try to use some quickness and be explosive going to the rim. We thought that would be a nice changeup and it gave us a nice lift."
On his team's hustle
"Kids were getting on the floor and I think defensively it is one of the better jobs we've done playing team defense. People helped each other. Murray for them is a great shooter and scorer. We knew we had to try to slow her down. The kid inside is a handful. I thought our team as a whole did a nice job. It was not just one or two it was a team effort to hold them to 48 points."
On Taylor Hall's play in her last two home games
"She's always played hard. I've never questioned that. When you hit shots you get a little boost of energy too. I think that probably helped as well. That little extra confidence when you knock down some shots will help you on the other end as well. That's what our team needs to feed off of."
Sophomore Taylor Hall, forward
On the Lady Mocs defense in the first half
"We knew that we played pretty good defense in the first half. We had them doing what we wanted to do other than rebounding and knocking down shots. We knew we needed to step that up and hopefully it would just get us some momentum since our defense was doing pretty well."
Thoughts going into the game
"This was a big win for us. They beat us at their place, and we knew we needed to just step it up and get some momentum going into the post season. We knew it would be a tough game because they are really physical. They have some big girls. We just had to go in there and fight back."
Thoughts on senior night
"Our seniors definitely deserved their starts. They work hard every day so they deserve that honor. Capriee Tucker works hard year around and I am glad she got to start."
Freshman Ka'Vonne Towns, freshman
On the Lady Mocs comeback after being down at the half
"We made a complete turnaround with our momentum. We found a lot of energy and just kept going with it."

Read It: The Taste of the Season
December 8, 2010
Like it or not, winter is here. For those of you who dislike the frost, let me remind you of three great things about the colder months: boots, beanie hats with pom-poms, and most importantly comfort food.
The winter months have a way of infusing bountiful flavors into each meal that are absent when cooking in the hot bustle of the summer and spring.
Diane Rossen Worthington understands this well. In her book, The Taste of the Season: Inspired Recipes for Fall and Winter, Worthington explores all the joys of our wintery indulgences.
From white bean and arugula stew gratinée to roast duck with lavender honey sauce, this book captures all the meals that will tantalize your taste buds and fill your stomach.
By including preparation tips and easy recipes that do not require you to hover over the stove (although that may be the warmest place in the house), you will be well prepared to make it through even the most chilling of nights.
I personally can't wait to snuggle up with my electric blanket and one of these delicious meals!
How do you fight the cold? What are your favorite winter comfort foods?

Champagne. Night clubs. An in-house DJ. No, this isn't a night out in Las Vegas. It's a night at a Miami Heat game. Playing to win their third championship in as many years, the Heat are as focused upon building their brand inside of their arena as they are on its hardwood.
When the Miami Heat moved into the then new AmericanAirlines Arena in 1999, the team realized it had a chance utilize in-arena strategy to make the Heat the preeminent professional sports team in Miami. "As a team, we had a goal to become the preeminent sports team in Miami. We realized that to do that, we had to create a community within our arena. We made it a focus to partner with brands that represent our fans. We wanted them to feel like our arena was their home," said the Miami Heat's president of business operations, Eric S. Woolworth.
And what a home it is. If Yankee Stadium is the house that Babe Ruth built, then the AmericanAirlines Arena is the house that luxury and exquisite taste built. At the core of the Heat's focus upon building a community within its arena is DJ Irie. A staple at Heat games since the 1999-2000 season, DJ Irie was previously a fixture DJ in the Miami nightclub scene. When initially approached by the team to become its in-house DJ, DJ Irie initially strayed from the idea over fear that he would not be able to be true to his brand of music inside of an NBA arena. However, two factors convinced DJ Irie to take the opportunity offered by the Heat, the first being that no other professional sports team had an official DJ. "I almost passed on the opportunity, because I was worried about being true to my brand. However, they came back, so I asked how teams in Los Angeles and New York do it. They said they checked around the league and nobody else had an official DJ. Then I asked how they did it in the NFL. They said nobody in the NFL had an official DJ. In fact, no professional sports franchise had an official DJ; I was going to be the first," DJ Irie said.
The second factor that convinced DJ Irie to partner with the Heat was the team's commitment to allow him to remain true to his brand of music. "This was never a scenario where the Heat said, 'Irie, we are going to bring you in, but you are going to do this and you are going to do it like this.' Instead, it was, 'We believe in you and what you are doing. Here is the microphone and your turn tables; you're on. I was able to have the freedom and flexibility to own it and I think that's amazing," DJ Irie noted.
The freedom and flexibility the Heat offered DJ Irie to remain true to his brand are characteristics that have allowed the team to attract other exclusive brands into the AmericanAirlines Arena. For instance, Hyde–known initially as the swanky nightclub on Los Angeles' Sunset Strip frequented by celebrities–came to the arena in 2012. Last year, the Heat became the first NBA franchise with an in-arena champagne lounge when the team partnered with Moët & Chandon. "We are happy to let brands stay true to their identities because we partner with the best brands in the world. We know that what makes these brands exclusive is the way in which they've built their businesses. We want Heat fans to experience these brands inside of the AmericanAirlines Arena the same way that they would outside of it," the Heat's Woolworth said.
For the brands the Heat partners with, the ability to activate around the team while remaining true to their own strategy has proven fruitful. Moët & Chandon, which sells its Imperial, Rose Imperial and Ice Imperial varieties for prices ranging from $25 to $40 per split notes that sales inside of the arena are up 56-percent over last year. "The first thing we did when we partnered with the Heat was install a dedicated champagne bar which only serves champagne by the glass on the main concourse of the arena. We then identified other areas in the arena that would serve as good places for champagne. These included the arena's Flagship Lounges. Next, we created custom white wine glasses for the champagne to be served in, which is consistent with the Heat's 'White Hot Heat' campaign. We have seen sales spike in the arena tremendously. We have also seen more consumers via social media showing how excited they are to see champagne and Moët & Chandon at the game. We see basketball games as a new occasion to introduce more people to champagne. We want to change consumers' minds to know that it's ok to drink champagne at a game," said Moët & Chandon's regional marketing director, Donae Burston.
Hyde has experienced similar brand success since partnering with the Miami Heat. Already present in another NBA property, the Staples Center, Hyde sought to enter the partnership in a way that not only built upon its brand's Miami presence, but helped fulfill the Heat's goals. "One of the goals of an arena owner is to maximize the capture of their customers' spends. The exclusive, VIP customers that go to a game are most likely having dinner before a game. They'll have a cocktail or two at the game. At halftime they'll grab more cocktails in a different setting. After the game, there are probably more cocktails involved. Typically, that revenue would go elsewhere outside of the arena. With Hyde, teams are able to maximize the capture of their customers' spend while presenting an amazing experience differentiated from any other stadium experience. VIP clientele can come to Hyde, have an amazing meal prepared by the best chefs in the world and in an atmosphere where they can enjoy the game. During halftime, there's a party atmosphere and a full-blown nightclub experience after the game," said SBE president, Sam Bakhshandehpour.
So, what's next for the Heat when it comes to building its arena's luxury brand? For now, the team is remaining tight-lipped. However, the Heat's Woolworth notes that the team continues to look for opportunities and projects to remain cutting-edge and to continue building a community inside of its arena for fans to enjoy. "We are constantly looking for ways to improve the way in which our fans experience the game," he noted.

I hope you guys can help with this, because I really feel stuck. I bought an iphone for my deaf sister so we can talk trough skype (sign language). I had to change the back cover because it was old and broken. Everything went fine (I beleived) but when I remounted it the iphone connected to the internet (I get the wifi icon) but I can't open a page on safari. In the network settings I can see an IP address, The sub network mask but there is nothing after router or in the DNS field.
I thought that i broke the wifi antenna so I bought another one and changed it, but I have the same result. I double checked that everything was well connected and I'm pretty sure it is.
I tryed to reset the settings: nothing.
I resinstalled IOS: nothing.
I have installed "Mywii" (the app from cydia) to see if I could create a hotspot but I can't so maybe the chip is broken.
What do you think?
I found a video of a guy hairblowing his iphone on youtube, and it seems to work for some people, do you think it's true? Does this apply for my problem?

Recipe by DOREENB
"This is a HUGE hit at all of my parties!!! With kids, as well as adults...and it is very easy to make!!! Serve this flavorful dip with tortilla chips. Roasted red peppers and two kinds of cheese create the perfect combination. Adjust the amounts of onion and garlic to taste."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale

Watch video tips and tricks
1 (7 ounce) jar
roasted red peppers, drained and diced
3/4 pound
shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
1 cup
1 tablespoon
minced onion
1 clove
garlic, minced
2 tablespoons
prepared Dijon-style mustard
I'm ashamed of how long it's taken me to review this, considering how often I make the recipe.
This is perfection in hot-dip form.
EVERYONE asks me for the recipe when I serve this at parties (and yes, I do give credit!).
The changes I make to the recipe are minimal. I up the onion to 2 tbs, I up the garlic to 2 cloves. I decrease the mustard to 1 tbs (I find it makes the dip a little too sharp with 2 tbs) and I add a big dash of hot sauce. Not a big difference, in the grand scheme of things.
My Mother-in-Law called me from the grocery store recently because she was having difficulty finding the roasted red peppers. If you do, as well, they're usually located by either the olives and pickles or they're located by the "fancy" canned goods (like marinated mushrooms, etc), depending on the store.
The only other note is that I can only find a 12oz jar of the roasted red peppers. I usually use most of it (scraping off any charred skin left on the peppers) and just snack on any leftovers while waiting for the dip to come out of the oven. :D
Good if you like mustard-flavored mayo. I had high hopes for this b/c of the recipe's high rating and the fact that I love red peppers, but to me, the taste of this dip was nothing more than hot mayo and dijon mustard. Ick.
331 Ratings
My friends and I really enjoyed this dip. Based on previous reviews I made a few changes: used 2 tablespoons of dry minced onions, used 4 cloves cloves of minced garlic, used 2 cups of shredded monterey jack / colby jack cheese and added a half cup of shredded parmesan cheese. I prepared the dip in two Pyrex 5 X 7" dishes and cooked them approximately 25 minutes. I plan on making this for many upcoming parties.
I have a recipe similar to this using artichokes instead of the peppers. The sweetness of the roasted peppers compared to the saltiness of the artichokes makes this a completely different dip however. I added extra garlic, several chopped jalepenos, and about 1/2 c. of parmesan cheese. The combination of sweet peppers, salty cheese, and spicy jalepenos is extraordinary!
Fabulous recipe to tinker with as you please and still have it turn out great. I had a cheddar/jack mix, so I used that, and I used 1/2c mayo/1/2c sour cream to cut down on grease, and I didnt have dijon mustard, so I used Cleveland Stadium mustard (its a brown mustard) and my guests loved it--said it was a definite keeper. Also added a bit of horseradish, and only the 7 oz jar of peppers. Served with Frito scoops. So, this recipe is not too sensitive--you can substitute, and it still turns out as a crowd pleaser. Very easy and quick to make, and goes over very well. I quickly patted excess liquid from my roasted peppers to make sure there wasn't too much liquid, and it turned out excellent. Definite keeper. Think it would go well served in bread bowl with bread pieces or with cut up pieces of bagel. Very versatile as to type of chip/bread for dipping.
This was amazing. I prepared it the day before and took it to a friend's house, heated it up and we devoured it. We all loved it and I had to pass out the recipe. I roasted my own bell peppers instead of using the jar. I used 2 but I think 3 would have been even better. Yummy Yummy!
Everyone loved this dip - especially the teenagers! The only changes I would make would be to use a little less mayo and more cheese. The color was perfect for the Christmas buffet.
Two words: DE-LISH!!! I used lite mayo and 1/3 less fat cream cheese and it was still super creamy. One note: don't rewarm in microwave, it will seperate. LOVE THIS DIP!!!

Everyone's so surprised that Annie's got a dirty mouth. Everyone, that is, except for me. I knew it all along. Seriously.
We resume just after Renee's elimination. The turn of events couldn't find Felicia and Kerry happier. They jump on the bed in celebration.
They also do jumping jacks.
As always, I get the feeling that these women are very, very bored. At least they have some fitness to go along with their boredom, I guess.
Also, in an interview, Annie reveals herself as the girl who needs to "step it up" this week, which means: bye Annie!
Frank corrals the girls. As they know, he likes to croon. He also apparently likes to use the word "croon," which they probably didn't know. You know how there would be, like, really special, shiny He-Man figures released every so often that were like the super versions of this already super character? I think Frank's special, shiny He-Man would be called the Entercrooner. I envision sensational pecs. Frank says, "Nothing is more sexier to me than a woman that can sing right back to me." Really? Not even big boobs are more sexier? Anyway, the girls will sing songs based on a CD of instrumentals that Frank claims to have composed…
I would soooo buy that off a stand in the mall. Or at least, you know, laugh at it.
Frank divides the girls into teams:
Here's how Cathy feels about having to work with a girl who spread a (probably true) rumor about her hooking up with Frank:
Since there's an odd number of women, one will have to perform alone. Frank elects Kerry for this punishment task. Each team has to pick a paper from a jar that will serve as the subject matter for their songs. Each piece of paper contains a word describing something Frank likes. Dana chooses "sleeping in." Felicia picks "video games." Melissa's selection is "working out." That means that Kerry is stuck with…
Kerry rightfully laments this, but it could have been worse. It could have been jock straps.
The teams get to work. Dana enthusiastically reports that she's working with "Annie Banannie." That's cute and almost unbelievable that it comes from the same person who later in this episode shows herself to be Dana DaHater. Annie reports that Dana doesn't have the best singing voice. She isn't kidding. Also not the best is Melisa,whose singing causes the graphics team to step in to underscore just how bad it is.
On the topic of working out, Melissa and Cathy come up with the line, "I really like watching while you're in the groove." More Olivia Newton-John, less Madonna, girls. Meanwhile, Kerry is going through serious stress with her assignment.
"Trying to relate the subject muscle T's to the tune Frank gave me is almost impossible," she explains. That's the fun of it, though! Embrace the absurdity for all it's worth. I feel like that should be the goal of not just VH1 viewers, but also the on-screen personalities.
The girls get ready for their performances and pull out their bras and stuff…
…and they're ready to go. This is taking place in a comedy club. Yep, that's about right. Brother Sal will be the MC of this event…
…and first up is Cathy and Melissa. Melissa interviews, "I'm like one of those one in four women that sweat a lot." What's that, deodorant commercial statistics? Cathy, on the other hand, is one of those one in seven women who don't sing into the microphones that are in front of them.
Once she does step in front of the mic, the results are gorgeous, as confirmed by Susan's expression:
Melissa interviews, "If he loved it, and it made him hot, hopefully we'll get the date." I love the phrase "made him hot." It's so '80s direct-to-VHS. Next up are Felicia and Melody…
Theirvision of video games could be described as cloudy with a chance of Mom-balls. They don't really get it. They probably think video-game controllers also change the channel or something. They think Halo is based on that pretty Beyoncé song. They think Gears of War describes an extremely feisty watch. Bonus points for the sonic boom, though…
Even though they don't really get the whole mushroom thing (you don't jump over them, you run into them and they make you bigger!), Susan gets it even less and thinks it's a drug reference. Honestly, the way it's portrayed in Super Mario Brothers (and thereafter), it kind of is. But theirs is merely a reference to the reference.
At one point, she forgets the words and has to read them off a sheet. How rhyming "baby please" and "muscle tees" wasn't immediately indelible to her, I don't understand. Certainly, I'll never forget her genius work.
Then, it's time for Annie and Dana…
At first, it seems to go well. (I say that as relatively as I say all things regarding this universe.) Then, Annie and Dana slip out of synch. Annie says, "Dana, stop! Like, seriously, stop." It seems like a big theatrical setup. Dana asks, "Why?" and Annie answers, "'Cause I wanna get freaky!" That Annie! She's smooth as Silk! She starts a rap that goes, "It's about this love, I think it's gonna stick." So far so good! But then: "It's not about (something something) d***." She follows this up with some words about giving Frank a BJ. Everyone is scandalized, because I'm sure none of them talk like this, like, in their sleep. Color bars come up…
…and in a turn very similar to the censoring of Rock of Love Bus' vagina shot incident, Frank comes on to say that they aren't allowed to show exactly what happens, but these stills of the reactions to Annie's rap say it all:
Annie's told to stop several times, but she keeps going. Gotta love that unbeatable spirit! She says her decision to do this was because she wanted to "add a little spice." The effect is more like Tabasco to the urethra. Frank's mother screams that at 59, she's never heard language like that a day in her life. I find that hard to believe, considering that she's an Italian from New York. Frank's dad says that this mark's the day that music died. Not quite, but it did kill Annie's chances in the competition.
Chaos ensues. Dana cries.
As they file out of the theater so that Frank and his parents can deliberate (and not pick Dana and Annie as the challenge winners), Annie calls after a distraught Dana, saying that such filthy language is "just words."
Then Annie stars whining/crying a little. Dana says she can't trust Annie, she doesn't want to be in the same room with her, that it'll be bad, and she's over it. Could have fooled me! It would seem that she's just getting started! "I don't even know who talks like that," adds Dana. Look around you, Dana, and smile: you're on VH1. Seriously, getting upset at one of these girls for saying lewd, sexually explicit things is like getting mad a truck driver for doing the same. Or for driving trucks.
But whatever! Try telling that to Dana. She regards her shoes while muttering that if she has to stay in the same room with Annie, it's going to be really ugly.
Singing ugly or flower-pants ugly? Ugly how? Seeing that Annie is distraught for the hounding that she's taking, Melody goes over to console her…
Annie says she just wanted to get Frank's attention. Melody says, "Sometimes people do really stupid things when they're in love." Like calling it "in love," for example. Seriously, that's what she's chalking it up to? It was nothing if not performance art gone awry. Meanwhile, Dana is aghast that her friend Melody is comforting her new foul-mouthed enemy. "That's how you get your f***in' ass beat, actin' like that," says Dana. Tough words for someone who clutches her pearls when she hears the word "b***j**." Melody makes her way to Dana, who has moved on from her shoes to consider her glove…
Dana says he's annoyed at Annie, and she's annoyed at Melody for consoling her. So she's basically disappointed that Annie's minor transgression didn't result in an all-out war on Annie, with Melody playing her captain? Like, seriously? She's mad at that?
The girls are called back in and Melody and Felicia win and Frank sings to them and whatever whatever…
…back to Dana, whose disregard for rational thinking is quickly making her the most compelling personality on this show.
"I got in a fight with this girl today because she said p**** d*** and balls. I'm singing Frank a song with a microphone and a beautiful dress on, OK, like a little diva!" she says. So, is she mad that Annie lost her the date, or is she mad that Annie interrupted her art? Dana's having a diva moment over her diva moment. Beautiful. Dana says that Melody is an "old lady" who consoled Annie before coming to console her, "So she's playing the fence with everyone!" Does she mean "playing both sides of the fence"? Because if "playing the fence" is even an idiom, wouldn't that mean that Melody's remaining impartial? Screw the fences, how 'bout Melody's just nice, or at least committed to making us think so? It's not nearly as hypocritical to offer your support to both sides of a dispute as it is to, say, get all worked up over someone saying balls and then turning around and threatening to see to it that someone gets her "f***ing ass beat." You know?
Dana's mom encourages her to "knock the f***in' bitch out" and "slap her in the face." Hmmm, suddenly everything's starting to make sense! (You could also replace "suddenly" with "sadly" in that sentence.) I love that violence is deemed a reasonable response to someone who was merely consoling someone. That's great. High road, consider yourself taken. And by "taken," I mean "potholed."
Dana tells her mom she has to go. "Don't f***in' talk to that bitch!" her mother offers helpfully. Dana interviews that her mom is the best. I could tell! She says that her mother helped put things into perspective: she's not there to make friends (!!!), but to win Frank's heart, one pummel at a time, apparently.
Dana reports to the other girls how mad she is about Annie, but especially about Melody. Cathy interviews that there's something "not right" with Dana, and Kerry wonders if she has a serious anger problem. I can't stress how reassuring it is that people find Dana's reactions problematic. I was starting to feel like I was through the looking glass.
Frank returns home and speaks with Annie. The issue wasn't her dirty mind and mouth, but that she unleashed them in front of her parents. If it were just the two of them, she could sing songs about…
…all day. The conversation turns more serious when Annie tells Frank to stop stringing her along if he's not feeling her. Their conversation concludes:
Annie: You look nice in your tux.
Frank: Thank you, I should really get out of this tux.
Sounds like a connection made in heaven to me!
Next, something silly even for this show – the Marescas' "neighbor," who might be named Maryanne or Marian (I seriously can't tell for sure and she's never captioned) comes over to read the girls' olive oil, fortune-teller style.
This is, apparently, an old Italian custom. Frank says it's "baloney"; to me, it sounds more like prosciutto. Maryanne/ian assures everyone, "We don't consider them superstitions. We believe in them." Whatever you want, lady. Maryanne/ian puts a bowl of water in front of each girl and drops some oil into it. How the oil reacts with the water has bearing on their fortunes, apparently.
Maryanne/ian can tell, for example, that people like Kerry; that Melissa's going to have at least four kids (even though she doesn't want that many — you don't defy the olive oil!); that Cathy has been recently "close" with someone; that Annie has inner complexity, emotions and turmoil; that Dana has a dark cloud in her life somewhere (she disagrees, and says that she doesn't even have "turbulence"); that Felicia has recently gone through a breakup (she hasn't) and that she keeps her distance from people (she doesn't); and that Melody has a curse on her (!), specifically the evil eye, and that she is not who she seems to be.
Frank interviews that he always knew there was something wrong with Melody. "She's got a sneaky way about her," is how he puts it. Really? Frank is awfully susceptible to others' opinions — including the opinions of baloney, even.
A discussion of Melody's potentially hidden secrets ensues. Dana doesn't see how she could be happy 24/7. For this, Dana feels like Melody's "playing the fence." Is that just the phrase that Dana uses when she doesn't like something?
She continues. She takes Melody to task for comforting Annie and then her — this she calls "fakeness." When Melody shows discomfort, Dana says she's playing up. Melody says she isn't — she's just upset because Dana's attacking her… "I'm not attacking you," interrupts Dana. "If I was attacking you, you'd know it." But would Dana know?
Who knows anything about anything anymore? It's time for elimination. Before, Dana is interviewed. She says that Melody "unfortunately" is her biggest competition. Again, everything makes so much sense! Funny how the truth has its way of revealing itself!
Felicia is called first. Her "sonic boom" is referenced. Well, it was very special. In a shocking twist, the girl who's a flinch away from a bar brawl, Dana, is not in the Bottom 2. That's reserved for Melody and Annie.
A bad oil reading has to be the stupidest reason for almost-elimination in the history of VH1, and there have been a lot of stupid almost-eliminations. On the positive side, we get to here someone say, "I'm not here to make friends," again in a single episode, which I think is a new record. Variations have been spoken multiple times, but I'm pretty sure that exact six-word string has never been said in its entirety twice. Don't quote me on that, but do trust me. I have a masters in NHTMF.
Whatever. Annie's going home, suckily enough.
They just don't have that connection. Annie thought she was leaving on the first day, and she has no idea how she got this far. For our sake, I'm glad she did. She says she's more used to men competing for her. Given her charm, cuteness and dirty mind, I have no trouble believing that.

The best socks ever!
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I just purchased these socks in every color and I am a huge fan. They are super comfy, not itchy, and keep my feet nice and warm now that colder weather has set in. I love the fun colors and stripes too. They are wearing far better than cheaper wool socks I have bought in the past. Other wool socks have started pilling after just one or two wears, these ones still look brand new.

The Best St. Louis Noise/Experimental Shows: September 2013
Mabel Suen Raglani with his bloops and bleeps at Plush.
Punk rock's outcry at pop culture is played out. Thirty some-odd years later, we're in the future and we're bored. Some still ball their spite for pop in other ways. Deliberately shrill and mostly dense, noise has become a blanket term for bands who explore and experiment around the beaten path. The genre, like others, isn't without its share of hang-ups, but that's why we're here. Every month, we supply the short list of sure bets in St. Louis, ranging from needlessly complex to minimalist drone. Connect the weird to your ears.
The schizophrenic weather feels all too apt. This month, witness blazing synth gurus Bitchin Bajas or St. Louis legend Ghost Ice. We've peppered in punk bands as well, especially ones with a healthy helping of feedback and static. Mixed bills are the spice of sounds this September. As usual, we'll go ahead and say these are your best bets, but they're not the only bets. Try as we might, RFT is not an all-seeing eye. Drop knowledge in the comments below, but keep it clean - the NSA is watching.
Bitchin Bajas with Raglani, Burlin Mud and Trancers at Apop Records.
September 10
Coming from the brain of Chicago's Cooper Crain, known best for CAVE, Bitchin Bajas locks neo-hippy soundscape into beats. Parts drone on in loops while a stray woodwind fights against murky keys. The whole affair repeats, building unto a ritual of dense noise. Keys populate the sound, adding tonal guidance to a spacey group who manages, just barely, to stay grounded here on Earth. Once a solo endeavor, Bitchin Bajas now works through a trio, indulging with deep psychedelia. Luckily these hippies eschew the drum circle, or any sort of percussion really, allowing for focused tones from tape machines and time-warped electronics.
Bitchin Bajas might very well be bitchin' enough to make the show, but St. Louis is no louse. Modular synth-guru Raglani plays with the trippy Trancers and Rick Wilson's Burlin Mud. These are all exceptional reasons to get weird. Really weird.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin
My boyfriend, Adam, recently went to the States (without me!) last month and has been so nice to offer to do some posts for my blog about his enviable eating experiences over there. This is part 1 of his eating adventures…
I always eat with Fashimi and kind of got used to how she did her posts, so I thought 'Hey maybe I might just do mine own post'. I ate a fair bit while I was in New York but one of my favourite trips by far was to Flushing in Queens, New York.
There were a whole lot of food courts in Flushing but one had had a few pretty famous people grace its tiny chairs and super cheap food. Not that a place needs this to make it great, but it definitely helps when you know nothing about somewhere.
Xi'an Famous Foods was in the smallest food court I have ever been to in my life but they conveniently found plenty of room to hang the accolades which they have received on the walls. They say that the use odd family recipes passed down for years.
We got the most well known dishes from the menu, which is always a safe bet.
The highlight was the Stewed Pork Noodles in Soup ($5.75). The noodles were made in house, which I guess we have all seen before, but I really liked the inconsistency and how they were just a little bit chewy. Pork was really soft and not too fatty. Possibly one of my favourite chinese dishes… Ever!
Living in Sydney I thought that we have some on the best Chinese food in the world, and I still do, but If this place was around the corner from my house I would find it hard to go anywhere else.

Pardi blends a traditional country sound with an up-tempo beat. With roots in California, he appears to be no stranger to the Country lifestyle. With yet another reference to a dirt road in its' chorus, the song isn't a lyrical masterpiece (or original). However, conceptually, it's cute with an up-beat tempo beat that keeps you wanting more.
The chorus – while bland and unoriginal – gets stuck in your head and played on repeat. Do I think it's a number one hit or enough to catapult him in to the spotlight? I don't know. But what I do think is "Up All Night" is a nice start for Jon Pardi to gain attention.

It's come to this: A typical family's health insurance costs as much as a typical family car.
If you're a typical American family, your "health" will set you back $20,728 every year. That figure comes gratis of Milliman, a benefits consulting group. A base-model Toyota Camry… the typical family's most-popular make? It costs $22,055.
Milliman's numbers account for only the premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Heaven forbid you actually get sick.
Back in 2006–07 while researching and filming our documentary I.O.U.S.A., we made the intimate discovery that health care for an aging society… not just, but mostly in the United States… is by far the biggest driver of deficits, debt and default — for families… and businesses… corporations… and the entire nation.
"In America," wrote an expatriate reader to The 5 Min. Forecast, "workers are held hostage to jobs they hate because working independently or taking early retirement means no access to health care unless you are willing to pay $1,000 a month for insurance. International health insurance costs me less than $100 a month."
As we go to print, the Supreme Court is trying to decide if the Frankenstein piece of legislation known as "Obamacare" jibes with the vision of the Founding Fathers. Specifically, can the federal government force you to buy a private company's product?
The trouble for you… and me, frankly…. is more profound. Let's say you don't give two proverbial defecates about the politics of the situation. Let's also say you're trying to figure out how to deal with the rising cost of education, food, gas, heat etc., all while your stock investments and house "value" decline… what are you supposed to do?
Unfortunately, the only thing up for debate in 2009–10 when the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was being hashed out in closed-door committee hearings was by what means the government would enable insurance and pharmaceutical companies to fleece patients and taxpayers. So now we're left to our own devices.
The good news? You don't have to expatriate to take your health care into your own hands. The Apogee Advisory is an ongoing experiment. While we can't possibly address every issue on our plate at the moment — the Fed, Goldman Sachs, two-party electoral charades, spoiled milk — we can address one critical item a month.
New Yorker Beverly Weintraub is one of the "lucky" ones. She has employer-provided insurance.
Last year, her teenage son choked on a piece of turkey. He spent four hours in the emergency room — a physical exam, sedation, endoscopy and removal of the offending poultry.
For these services, the hospital billed her insurance company, Aetna, $22,214.92.
Aetna agreed to pay only $2,885.67. And the hospital cheerfully settled for that amount. Ms Weintraub was out of pocket about $800.
"How could those numbers possibly be reconciled?" she wrote. Being employed as a reporter for the New York Daily News, she set out to find answers.
What she found first is that her story is commonplace. "There are the sky-high costs that a hospital will claim reflect its expenses, and the much-lower fees it accepts under contract with insurance companies."
"What's missing from this complex web," Weintraub writes, "is any hint of what the services a patient received actually cost."
That's by design. For the U.S. health care system is yet another mechanism of "extraction" — a theme we've touched on the last two months. "Washington's empire," economist Paul Craig Roberts reminds us, "extracts resources from the American people for the benefit of the few powerful interest groups that rule America."
The health care complex is surely one of the most powerful… and the utter lack of "price transparency" is what allows them to retain that power.
"The rates that insurance companies pay," Weintraub writes, "are negotiated based on what they believe a hospital's true costs are. But then those rates are jacked up an average of 30–50% to make up for money that hospitals lose in treating patients who don't have private insurance — which is the majority of them. So to make up the difference, they overcharge patients who are insured. This practice is called cost-shifting."
Ms. Weintraub tells a good yarn… but it's incomplete. Cost-shifting takes place in the form of
two insidious scams, patiently described to us by Dr. G. Keith Smith, an Oklahoma City MD who's doing his level best to undermine the practice.
The first scam is called "uncompensated care." To understand how it works, it helps to know a rough breakdown of who is treated in a typical hospital:
At the end of each year, many hospitals collect money from an "uncompensated care pool" — funded by federal and state taxes and typically administered by a state government. "That creates the perverse incentive for hospitals to issue fictitiously insane bills," says Dr. Smith.
"Let's say they charge $100 for an aspirin for which they pay a penny. They collect $5 [from insurance], and claim they lost $95. That $95 goes into the 'uncompensated care' pool and helps them get this rebate at the end of the year." It also, Smith explains, helps many hospitals maintain the fiction of not-for-profit status.
If you're a taxpayer, you pay for this.
The second scam involves the insurance scheme known as preferred provider organizations, and is called "PPO re-pricing." Here too there are perverse incentives: Insurance companies, contrary to popular belief, have zero desire to keep costs to a minimum. "The bigger the bill the insurance company receives, the more money they make," says Dr. Smith.
"If a large hospital submits a bill to an insurance company for, say, $100,000, and the insurance company pays $22,000 of it, the insurance company then goes back to the employer who provides this insurance product to the employee and says, 'Look what we did for you; we saved you $78,000.' The employer, as part of his contract, pays the insurance company a percentage of that fictitious savings."
If you have employer-provided health insurance, you pay for this. Were it not for the insurance company's cut, you'd have a bigger paycheck.
Meanwhile, "the only people who are actually billed such astronomical sums are the uninsured," says reporter Weintraub, citing figures from Medical Billing Advocates of America.
"If an uninsured patient can pay even a fraction, it will still far exceed the cost of treatment. So hospitals will gladly settle for a lesser amount — and may even helpfully offer a payment plan or high-interest loan."
If you have no insurance, you pay through the nose. Little wonder that medical bills are the catalyst for 60% of personal bankruptcies, according to a 2009 study in The American Journal of Medicine.
Which gets us back to this question: What is the actual cost of that "$100,000" procedure? About $7,000–8,000. For everything. Including the facility, surgeon and anesthesia charges.
That's what Smith would charge you at his outpatient surgery center in Oklahoma City… a lone outpost of "price transparency" within U.S. borders.
Smith and his facility — more about them in the latest issue of Apogee Advisory — are one possible solution if you want to break free of the whole sordid cost-shifting system… but not if you need a procedure that requires more than a one-night stay. No open-heart surgery or major abdominal procedures there.
For that, you need to go overseas. And a friend of mine has been helping make that possible for nearly 10 years. We tell his story — and explain how he can help Americans like you free yourselves from the health care system that would bankrupt you — in this month's issue of Apogee Advisory.

Fantastic summary of the silliness of our healthcare "system". I love what Dr. Smith is trying to do, and I appreciate your effort in spreading the word. Not only must something be done, but the right something must be done. Asinine legislation is not the path the prosperity and health.
Thanks, Daniel.
Mr. Wiggin:
It is not only the public that is fleeced in the US healthcare system. As an anesthesiologist, I am required to provide free care to any and all indigents who come thru our hospital system…thanks to the legal profession's magnanimous sense of concern for indigents…at someone elses expense. There have literally been days when I worked from 6AM to 8PM in the operating room, and received less than $300 for my 14 hrs of highly skilled labor. I am only paid what I collect from insurance and I pay my own malpractice insurance. For Medicare patient's anesthesia I am reimbursed at a rate of $.21 for each dollar and for Medicaid patients I am reimbursed $.17 on the dollar FOR THAT PORTION OF THE BILL MEDICARE/MEDICAID WILL "ALLOW".
Perhaps you could mention these facts in your next expose on the medical system ripping off patients. IT IS ALSO RIPPING OFF THE DOCTORS WHO WORK IN THIS SCREWED UP SYSTEM.

The Lowepro Photo Hatchback 16L AW Backpack (Pepper Red) is an excellent choice for a day out in the field, walk along the boardwalk with the family or even a quick down and dirty gig. It's designed to hold your DSLR with an 18-55mm lens attached and two additional moderately sized lenses, flash, accessories as well as your iPad or tablet held safely within its own dedicated compartment.
The "wow" feature of this bag is that it comes with a removable camera box which, when removed, turns the pack into a full-fledged, empty pack that can be used as a daypack. The camera box comes with a storm flap for protection and two handles for easy removal. Load it beforehand, place it in the pack and you're off. And, on days when you don't need it, just lift it out and the pack is ready for clothes, books, food, jacket or groceries.
Access is via a top loading zippered opening or its very handy side "hatch" for rapid retrieval of your camera when the shot appears. All the zippers are YKK for added durability. The 2.0 lb pack is comfortable with its adjustable backpack straps. This is an outdoor pack that is prepared for all weather eventualities since it contains Lowepro's All-Weather cover that can be rapidly deployed when the weather turns against you. The Photo Hatchback is made from strong 600D polyester and 210D nylon ripstop polyurethane-a combination made for the outdoor enthusiast.
OK, so, the idea that you're going to tuck away your camera behind your back ... nope. I'm going to tuck some lenses back there, sure, but then I'm going to want to put the camera body with attached lens into the top compartment ... except that the top compartment isn't large enough to tuck away a full-sized Canon 7D with attached battery grip & a long lens. It's just not going to happen. So, this means that where my Slinger could handle everything but a couple of extra lenses, and this bag can hold everything so long as there's a short lens on the body, I'm going to have to say that I'm going to revert to my Slinger, despite the one-shouldered ergonomics of that bag. Basically, if you've got a setup with more than 3 lenses, this bag doesn't work. Additionally, the only portion of the bag that's padded is the bottom section, which means whatever's in the top is going to get dinged. Not a feature.
Perfect except... it is falling apart with very little use. I am currently traveling in the UK and it is all I have so I can't send it back. When I return in July I doubt Lowepro or Adorama will accept it as a return (I once tried to return a pack to Lowepro and they would not accept it). Too bad after 25 years with Lowepro I may try Tamrac or something else...
I bought the bag to have for an 11 day cruise to the Panama Canal coming up in March. I took it on a quick trip to WI in January. It comfortably fit my camera Canon Rebel with the 70-300 mm lenses attached if I turned it sideways. Body and lense was approx. 8 1/2" long. I can fit the camera with its 55-135mm attached the way the bag is designed and fit another lens. I was pleasantly surprised at the room for my wallet, Ipad, book, and other "carry" on items in the front portion of the bag. I found NO cons to this bag as a casual photographer
Great backpack for the urban explorer, hiker, or everyday travel. Holds a lot of gear and everything you would need. I bought 1 for my film camera and then bought 2 more for my digital slr and to hold a GoPro, acc., and a second dslr.
I purchased this pack for an upcoming hiking trip. I was concerned that it might be too large for my mirrorless setup. It isn't. Its a very nice compact bag that would work well with a large mirrorless camera kit or a smallish DSLR kit. You could probably use a large DSLR, but then you would be limited to just one or two lenses. The top part of the pack holds a decent amount, but the whole pack is very nice and light and seems very well built. Very happy with my purchase.
A very useful backpack. Holds my Nikon D7000 with 18-105 lens attached, normal lens, small flash and filters in bottom compartment, plus a couple pounds of gear in the padded upper compartment. Outer sleeve holds an iPad, plus small tripod or two water bottles on the side. Bottom camera compartment only open from the back side, so you have to remove it in order to gain access to your gear -- great safety precaution.
Perfect for day trips, and the double use as just a day bag is a bonus. Perfect size and quality construction.
Attracted by the versatility of being able to use it as a gear pack that has extra room (for day hikes, traveling), or as a straight daypack. Being able to remove the gear compartment completely, and open the internal "divider" are definitely key features. Shoulder straps and back padding seem plenty comfortable, and the included sternum and waist straps are definitely pluses (although the waist strap could be a little more substantial (-- wider, with pockets?). I also like iPad/tablet-size pocket on the outside-- very useful, perfect size, and reassuring that there's at least some padding. Minuses: although there's an inner pocket, it's really just one built-in zippered pouch (but it does have a key fob!); the two mesh pockets would be nicer if they were zippered, and there were a bit more pockets and such (like a conventional student daypack) for coins, tissues, gum, etc. Although the flap covering the camera compartment has one memory card pocket that's all -- add'l pockets for other small things like more memory cards, batteries, cables, lens tissues, filters, etc would have been useful and could have easily fit. The other big minus is that although the side pocket can indeed hold a small tripod, monopod, or collapsible walking pole, there's no strap to secure the top of whatever sticks out above the pockets -- even loops or other types of gear attachment points located at top corners would have been VERY useful even if I had to supply my own straps or ties. So, a few more doo-dads and compartments would have made it a great daypack or a great photo pack; without those, it's merely an adequate pack for either purpose. But, it's very good as a pack that doubles as BOTH, and the option to use it as a regular daypack is worth the sacrifices.
I love my Hatchback Pro. Primarilary I use it for my camera and equipment when I go on a photo shoot with our camera club. I also find it indispensable when traveling. It safely holds camera, equipment, iPad and other electronic "stuff". It also holds a change of clothes if the airline "misplaces" my luggage. The bag is lightweight and comfortable to carry.it is a treasure. So glad that I bought it.

* - District Game
IOLA, Texas -- Iola has the returning talent to not only return the postseason, but stay there a while.
The Bulldogs have eight starters back on offense and nine returning on defense. Quarterback Hayden Martinez, the reigning district offensive MVP, leads a shotgun spread offense that looks to be more consistent in 2014 after having some ups and downs a year ago. Martinez is good through the air and on the ground, and could break the Iola school record for career rushing yardage this season. His best target through the air is tight end Ryan Renick, the leading receiver from a year ago. Four starters return on the line, led by seniors Reed Fairbanks, Will Mallett, and Dustin Timm.
Renick is the leading returning tackler and the "QB" of the Bulldogs 4-2-5 defense. "He has the potential to excel at the next level and is like having a coach on the field," said second-year head coach Pete Martinez.
Realignment renaming aside, Iola actually moves down a level to the smaller of the smallest 11-man football playing classifications in the state. The Bulldogs final two games of the season at Colmesneil and at home against rival Normangee should decide the district title, but Iola will be playoff bound whether or not they win 12-2A Division II. "We will be a stronger team with more depth and more experience," said Martinez.

Password for Apple Desktop
I do not usually have a password on my computers but I do need one now on my new AppleMac 27" with Lion 10.7...I have set a password for login and this is working OK.. but I do not wish to have to put in the password every time change something in he system when I am already logged in.!!?
Is there a way around this that I am missing?
No way around that once you've assigned an Administrator password. Even if you hadn't previously assigned one the pop up would still come up and you would have to enter a null response. (press enter)
The admin password should not come up unless you are installing software or making changes to the system, something most people do very very infrequently if at all.
The admin password requirement is the NUMBER ONE reason why Macs don't have viruses.
