Could you use a little extra cash?
The 5 Best Ways to Make More Money
by Jason Steele, courtesy of MoneyTalksNews.com
No matter how much you have, everyone can use a little extra money. And that's truer these days than at any time in recent history. According to the Census Bureau, after inflation, median household income fell 2.3 percent in 2010 and has dropped 7 percent since the turn of the century.
With inflation-adjusted income falling, the average American has two choices: bring in more money, or watch your standard of living erode.
In the video below, Money Talks News founder Stacy Johnson has tips to make more money and keep more of what you make. Check it out and then read on for more
Let's recap the suggestions from the video and explore them a littler further.

1. Get a part-time job
As Stacy said, the holidays are the perfect time to look for a second job, as companies are eager to hire additional employees to cope with the seasonal rush. Toys R Us is looking for 40,000 employees, and as you heard in the video, Target is hiring tens of thousands too. Here's an article from About.com that can hook you up with opportunities at even more employers.
Taking a second job doesn't have to be drudgery. It can actually be fun to get out of the house on a cold, dark winter evening and work with a new team of people in an upbeat environment. When you are looking for ways to set yourself apart from other applicants, check out our recent stories on Jobs for the Holidays - and 7 Tips to Get Hired and Holiday Jobs: 6 Tips to Get and Keep Them.
2. Ask for a raise
The best way to receive an increase in pay is by demonstrating your added value to your boss. According to a recent article at Daily Worth about a graphic designer who successfully received a raise, "Demands on our graphic designer grew substantially this year," says David Matheson, senior VP of a nonprofit. But the employee was so efficient and flexible, the company saved thousands by not having to outsource, and the employee got a raise and a promotion." For more ideas along these lines, check out our post on 3 Steps to Get the Raise You Deserve.
3. Spend less
They say a penny saved is a penny earned, but the money you save is actually worth more since you don't have to pay taxes on it. The first step is to create a budget and start tracking the money you spend. For more information, read our 5 Steps to Building a Budget That Works and consider some of these Free Budgeting Spreadsheets.
4. Bolster your career with additional training and education
Community colleges are thriving as working adults are seeking the skills they need to take their career to the next level. For more information, read our article on The New Face of Community College and 5 Things to Consider Before Applying. In fact, you may not even need to take college classes to get ahead. When I worked in the computer industry, additional technical certifications qualified me for a new job at double my previous salary. While that might be an extreme example, employers in other industries strongly value staff members with certifications that they can boast to their colleagues and clients.
5. Pay down debt
One major expense that gives you nothing in return is interest. Paying less is like giving yourself a raise.
Start by ranking your debts for pay-off and attacking them one at a time. The first debt to destroy is the one with the highest interest rate, especially if it's not tax-deductible, such as a car loan, credit card, or other revolving charge account. For more, check out this article The Best Way to Pay Off Debt.
If you have a home loan and good credit, you can reduce your interest payments by refinancing, since mortgage rates are at an all-time low. Read Ask Stacy: Should I Refinance My Mortgage? and then go to our interest rate search and see if you can find a lower rate. While refinancing takes time and effort, it can return hundreds of dollars in monthly savings.

Since when did Democratic and Republican Roles Switch Over Combat?
Updated: Tuesday, September 10 2013, 04:02:48 PM
Republicans lawmakers have always been thought of as hawks, while Democrats more akin to doves. Are the roles reversing?
The Syrian civil war, (also known as the Syrian uprising or Syrian crisis) is an ongoing armed conflict in Syria between forces loyal to the Ba'ath government and those seeking to oust it. A part of the larger Middle Eastern protest movement known as the Arab Spring, the conflict began March 15th, 2011 with local demonstrations that grew in scope to become nationwide by April 2011.
Protesters demanded the resignation of President Bashar al-Assad, whose family has held the presidency in Syria since 1971, as well as the end of Ba'ath Party rule, which began in 1963.
The Syrian Army was deployed in April of 2011 to stop the uprising, and soldiers fired on demonstrators across the country. After months of cities and neighborhoods being cut-off by the Army the protests evolved into an armed rebellion.
The Arab League, United States, European Union, and other countries condemned the use of violence against the protesters. The Arab League suspended Syria's membership as a result of the government's response to the crisis, but granted the Syrian National Coalition, a coalition of Syrian political opposition groups, Syria's seat on 6 March 2013.
According to the UN, about 4 million Syrians have been displaced within the country and 2 million have fled to other countries.
Syrian government supporters include Russia and Iran, while Qatar and Saudi Arabia are providing material and weapons to the rebels.

GOUVERNEUR The village and town hope to start construction this year on a community center for senior citizens.
The town is the recipient through the North Country Regional Economic Development Council of a $400,000 grant toward the cost of the center, which will be geared toward seniors, but others in the community may also use the center. The building will be similar to one in Star Lake, with offices, a kitchen and a meeting space.
It will be in Riverview Park.
The village is a partner in the venture and will contribute $600,000 in repaid revolving loan funds toward the project.
Weve got two years to utilize this money, so we want to get going, Supervisor Robert R. Ritchie said. Were hoping to maybe get it started this summer.
Mr. Ritchie said a committee will meet soon for officials to begin hammering out a management plan, which will include how the building will be maintained after it is built.
We dont know yet, Mr. Ritchie said. Thats one of the things on the list to discuss.
The community has talked about some kind of a communal or recreational center for years but has never gotten past about who would own it and be responsible for ongoing costs. Talk of a center began in 1982 although those discussions leaned more toward a building for youth.
This time, officials opted to apply for grants pertaining to senior citizens as they were told they were more likely to be funded.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — The U.S. dollar fell Wednesday, weighed by a report of shrinking activity in the world's largest economy as the U.S. Federal Reserve said it will maintain its aggressive easing stance.
Meanwhile, the euro reclaimed the $1.35 handle and pressed to its highest level versus the dollar since November 2011.
The ICE dollar index DXY, -0.05% , which measures the greenback against a basket of six other major currencies, traded at 79.302 compared with 79.527 in North America trade late Tuesday.
The index fell to 79.18, according to FactSet data, after the Fed said it will keep buying $85 billion a month in mortgage bonds and Treasurys because of downside risks to the economic outlook. Read more about the Fed's policy statement.
Ahead of the Fed announcement, market participants had been re-reading minutes from the central bank's meeting in December that had suggested some policy makers "were less comfortable with the new [quantitative easing] program, that some of them wanted to end it early," said Robert Lynch, a currency strategist at HSBC said in a telephone interview.
At the December meeting, the Fed bolstered its quantitative-easing program by adding $45 billion of monthly Treasury purchases.
But Wednesday's announcement solidifies that "we're going to get more QE by the Fed," as it "doesn't contain the hesitancy toward more QE that was evident in the minutes," said Lynch.
Some follow-up on the notion that QE might end sooner than anticipated may have provided some support for the dollar against the euro, "but this statement doesn't provide the basis for that," he said.
The WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, +0.08% which uses a slightly larger comparison basket, also fell, to 70.66 from 70.80 late Tuesday.
The dollar turned lower earlier Wednesday after the U.S. Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product contracted by a 0.1% annual rate, down from 3.1% growth in the third quarter.
How to invest over the next 45 days
The next 45 days are a time to move, but which way? Investment consultant Lawrence McDonald discusses on Markets Hub. Photo: Getty Images
Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected fourth-quarter growth of 1.0%. See: U.S. economy shrinks 0.1% in fourth quarter.
Also early Wednesday, payroll processing firm Automatic Data Processing said the pace of U.S. private-sector job gains picked up speed in December with the addition of 215,000 jobs. See: Private-sector job gains speed up in December.
Kit Juckes, head of foreign exchange at Société Générale, wrote ahead of the U.S. GDP report that a "soft" reading on growth in goods and services would have the effect of sending the euro higher on the dollar. The strength of recent quarterly earnings by U.S. companies has helped propel the S&P 500 Index SPX, +0.13% to new highs despite worrisome technical indicators and has contributed to a global risk rally, Juckes wrote in a note.
Currencies that typically benefit from rising risk appetite — such as the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars as well as the South Korean won and the Mexican peso — have failed to benefit due to expectations their previous rallies will prompt policy makers to at least slow them down, Juckes said. "The exception, at least for now, is the euro," he said. "The ECB is doing nothing to talk down the currency and everything necessary to send it higher."

3 Reasons Why You Should Still Use Ableton's Impulse
15 Dec
The Ableton Impulse device is like the rotary phone of music production. Or better yet, the fax machine.
It's around, but no one really knows why. At first blush, it would appear that everything that it can do can be done a million times better by the newer, cooler kid in class: The Drum Rack.
But I'm here to tell you that the Impulse is still the right choice for 3 reasons, which I shall enumerate for you right…now!
Global Transpose
As I'm sure some of you know, one of the best ways to make your beats instantly tighter is to make sure that your drums are (somewhat) in tune with your bassline, chords, etc. The longer the sustain on the drum hit, the more of an issue this is. Think kick drums, toms, woodblocks, etc.
So, let's imagine that you (like me) have made almost an entire percussion track before you even thought of a bassline. Now you write the bassline and, just like that, your entire drum pattern is out of tune with your bassline. Wah-wah.
If you are using the Drum Rack, you have to go into each individual Drum Cell and transpose your hits. This is somewhat of a bummer, workflow-wise.
Enter the Impulse' Global Transpose control. Just like the Drum Rack, the Impulse Device in Ableton has a transpose function for each Drum Cell, but it also has one (on the far right, bottom) that controls the transposition of the entire device. Pretty groovy, right?
This is my actual favorite aspect of Impulse. The stretch control, which is available for each Drum Cell literally stretches the audio sample. This does not sound at all natural, which is totally boss. It sounds, to me, like your putting your sample through a granulator. This effect is also available for the entire device, where it is inexplicably called "Time." Dunno why that is.
This feature, plus Envelope Automation, is great for adding some variation to your clips, like I show in this little video here:
The Frou-Frou Reason
As you might know from reading this blog, I am a fan of "process." I think a lot about how to make music and how to be more creative and all of that good stuff. And I think that a certain degree of limitation is good for creativity, I really do.
Too often, as Live users, we fall into the "more is more" trap. Something not going right with the track? Add more stuff! I myself do this and know that it leads to paralysis and frankly, messier mixes. So, why not limit yourself to 8 drum sounds per beat? Do you really need 128 drum sounds on each track? I highly doubt it.
The Impulse might not be for everyone, but I guarantee that it will help you add some new flavors (flavas?) to your tracks. Or do you use it already? Let me know what you like (or hate) about this oft-forgotten Ableton device!
P.S. I just completed a whole section on the Impulse for the Device Rack Module, the first Module of the Ableton Cookbook Live Course which will open tomorrow at 9am CST on this very blog! Sign up for the email list and be eligible for a 25% on this 8 Module Ableton Live smorgasbord.

At the regular city council meeting on Nov. 13, Price officials voted to apply for $100,000 in Utah Community Impact Board funds to pay for part of the cost of installing the new boilers at the swimming pool.
The CIB monies are available through the state of Utah and all counties that produce minerals are eligible to apply for funding.
If received, the funds will offset some of the expense of installing the new boilers, which are expected to cost the city in excess of $250,000.
At a special meeting two weeks ago, the council members voted to replace the failing boilers and, according to Price city engineer Gary Sonntag, the project is proceeding.
The city officials have hired a mechanical contractor and the boilers are expected to be installed in about four weeks.
At the Nov. 13 meeting, council member Elizabeth Kourianos reported on the building that will be housing the boiler units.
Since the city awarded the boiler system bid in late October to U. S. Mechanical, the city staff and council members with the primary responsibility for the pool, parks and buildings, have evaluated the proposed building site for the new boiler system.
The council voted to follow the recommendation of the committee and put the new boiler system in the parks maintenance garage.
The placement decision will require some modifications to the carpentry shop and the greenhouse building which will be used for storage of materials that is currently in the maintenance garage.
In other city business, the council had a lengthy discussion before declaring the waste from the cemetery grounds as surplus and authorizing Price employees to dispose of the materials in question.
The day-to-day operation of the cemetery grounds generate a certain amount of waste that includes grass clippings, leaves, tree branches, cut up wood, woodchips, plants, pots, stands and decorations. A portion of this is composed and recycled for use in the cemetery operation, other portions are either taken to the landfill or put into the trash dumpster.
According to a letter submitted to Sonntag from Lyle Bauer, cemetery supervisor, he requested the city clarify these products and recommend to his staff which are recyclable and which can be freely taken by local citizens.
Following the discussion the council voted to declare the recyclable materials, such as clippings, leaves or branches, as surplus and have available on a first come, first serve basis for anyone wanting this material, but not to include any decorations, plants, or pots. If these items are not claimed by their owners they will be taken to the landfill.

From Kim Kardashian To Heidi Klum's Makeup Free Moments - The Real Beauty! (Photos)natalieklein
Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jenna Dewan Tatum, Uma Thurman, Heidi Klum and so many others wake up with long days ahead of them. They either have an audition, rehearsal, or are just heading to the gym. No matter what they are doing everyone expects them to look fresh and well-dressed with perfect hair and makeup.
The reality is that many moms, celebrities or otherwise, never take off their sweats till late afternoon, throw their hair in a ponytail, and never apply makeup!
Personally, I don't love makeup daily. I am fortunate that, with my skin tone and coloring, the natural look is best. But because we are used to seeing celebrities all made up on a daily basis on television or the big screen, we have high expectations.
I love seeing celebrities without makeup. I love seeing them in sweats and their glasses–resting their eyes, not torturing their hair with product and just relaxing.
What about you? Do you have a makeup-free day?
Check out the photos of some of our favorite celebrity moms sans makeup below!
Kendra Wilkinson 1 of 15Kendra Wilkinson is so adorable and really goes au natural well! I am so glad she is not trying to wear makeup in the water!
Heidi Klum 2 of 15The weekends are for NO makeup, and Heidi Klum is doing that as she watches her son Henry compete in his football league.
Jenna Dewan Tatum 3 of 15Jenna Dewan Tatum has a secret — green juice! She is carrying one here, and it can really help the skin! Plus it doesn't hurt she is naturally beautiful!
Kim Kardashian 4 of 15Kim Kardashian is probably one of those people that you expect to see in makeup even at the gym! I'm so glad she can go without!
Uma Thurman 5 of 15Uma Thurman knows that with a newborn it can be hard to get makeup on. But, no matter what, holding that baby brings sparkles to her eyes and a glow to her cheeks!
Anna Paquin 6 of 15Anna Paquin is keeping in shape by going for a morning run! I am so relieved to see she can do that without makeup! I think it is more amazing to focus on her muscles.
Jessica Simpson! 7 of 15Mom-to-be for a second time Jessica Simpson is glowing as she holds her baby bump!
Cacee Cobb 8 of 15Jessica Simpson's best friend and wife of Donald Faison, Cacee Cobb is just one of my favorite natural girls! She does that chic bohemian style well!
Rebecca Gayheart 9 of 15Thank you Rebecca Gayheart for showing us that even moms who are married to McSteamy Eric Dane can go without makeup to drop off!
Kourtney Kardashian! 10 of 15This hot mama is out for a stroll with Penelope and its so nice to see her giving her skin a break! They use heavy makeup under the lights!

Read: Michael St. Croix Had Quite A Big Year
Michael St. Croix, the Rangers fourth round pick in the 2011 draft, finished 8th in the WHL in scoring this season with 45 goals and 60 assists along with 7 goals and 12 assists in the playoffs for the Edmonton Oil Kings.
At Hockey's Future, Leslie Treff picks St. Croix as the Rangers prospect who overachieved this season.
For more on St. Croix including some video, scouting reports and a recap of the season that he had, CLICK HERE.
St. Croix and Edmonton won the WHL this season and played in the Memorial Cup.
Adam Rotter: With less fan fare, he was the Christian Thomas of this season and just exceeded expectations, statistically speaking, and had a great season. This is a guy to keep an eye on as he can hopefully snag a spot on Team Canada at the World Juniors next season and continue on a good development path.

Contemporary Connections
For more than fifteen years, the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts has implemented its Contemporary Connections interdisciplinary arts program in Delaware public schools as a vehicle to expose students to the connections between art and other core subjects such as math, science, and the humanities.

Contemporary Connections: 2010 - 2011 School Year
For more than fifteen years, the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts has implemented its Contemporary Connections interdisciplinary arts program in Delaware public schools as a vehicle to expose students to the connections between art and other core subjects such as math, science, and the humanities.
The DCCA partnered with Bancroft Elementary for a fourth time during the 2010 - 2011 school year. In the fall, Teaching Artists and siblings Lisa and Ben Volta collaborated with third and fifth grade classrooms (respectively) to create two window installations. During Lisa's residency, Ms. Patricia Holland's third grade learned about scientific experimentation through creatively altering 4"x4" acrylic squares using different materials and techniques. Students assembled the decorated squares to form a curtain that is currently hanging in the school's second-floor, south-facing windows.
Ben's residency with Ms. Brandie Stasney's fifth-grade class integrated art and design into the class's study of geography. Following discussions of globalization and nationalism, students created work inspired by flag designs and political borders. Their individual work was combined to create a large-scale piece that was displayed in part in Bancroft's third-floor, south-facing windows and in full in the lobby windows of the DCCA. The piece will be included in an exhibition of Ben Volta's work at Philadelphia's City Hall in Fall 2011.
In the spring, we welcomed back Lisa Volta to work with Ms. Mary Rifenburg's kindergarten class. For this residency, students learned about the properties of paper through the use of various materials, techniques, and methods including origami and printmaking. They later assembled their individual prints to create a large-scale triptych that will remain in the classroom.
Our second spring residency was a collaboration between Teaching Artist Jennifer Polillo and Ms. Tessa Wallace's third-grade class. Using the unit centered on properties of water, students created several different projects that integrated scientific exploration and creative expression. Some memorable pieces included water-cycle terrariums, an outdoor performance, and a window installation. At the end of the residency, the class put together an exhibition of its work.
Contemporary Connections: 2008 - 2009 School Year
During the 2008- 2009 school year, the DCCA paired four Bancroft Elementary School teachers with three professional artists to develop arts-integration units in science and social studies. During the fall semester, artist Heather Pieters worked with Gwen McCants' 4th grade class on a unit that integrated Delaware history with art. The students created linoleum block prints and t-shirts that illustrated technological advancements throughout time, as well as key moments in Delaware history. Also in the fall semester, artist Stephanie Beck worked with Tracey Young's 5th grade class on two printmaking and social studies units, "Cultures of Wilmington" and "Patterns of Our Country." With Beck, the 5th graders created a collaborative, quilted wall-hanging made from their print designs. During the early part of the spring semester, artist Jane Chesson worked with Bancroft 1st grade teacher Tessa Wallace to develop a unit that explored U.S. Geography, landforms, and mapping through art. The students made a giant, wooden, interactive floor puzzle inspired by the modern artist Jasper Johns. Later in the spring, artist Heather Pieters worked with Tiwanna Bullard's 4th grade class on a unit that explored science and reading. The fourth graders learned about color theory and types of landscapes in preparation for the creation of their mural that illustrated stories about the natural environment and weather conditions. Each class project included a field trip to the DCCA galleries and artist studios and art opening reception at the school.

David Rogers grew up around racing machines. There were snowmobiles, four-wheelers among others.
I actually traded my snowmobile for a go-kart, Rogers recalled. My father, Dee Rogers, said it was OK with him, so we made the trade.
Rogers raced the go-kart for about a year. After the elder Rogers saw that his son liked racing, he bought him a new go-kart.
I raced a go-kart from the age of 12 until I was 17, Rogers said. I won championships over the years.
In my last year in go-karts I competed at the Route 58 track near Gouverneur and won all of them. I wanted to race cars so I sold the go-kart at the end of that season.
Rogers started competing in the pure stock class at Can-Am Motorsports Park in LaFargeville and at the former Thunder Alley in Evans Mills when it had a dirt surface.
In my rookie year I won the track championship at Thunder Alley, Rogers said. I won five race features between the two speedways.
He didnt make all the races at Can-Am in his rookie year, but still managed to finish in fifth place in the point standings. In 2012, Rogers moved up to the pro-stock division.
It was a rough year, Rogers said. I had motors going south on me. It seems that every time I would moved up toward the front an accident happened, and we were usually involved in it.
Rogers said he was getting quite discouraged until late in the season he won a race at Can-Am, giving his confidence a boost. This season he is leading the points race.
He has been in the top four all season. He said hes won two races this season. One was a special 25-lap race that paid $1,000.
You really dont have to win a lot of races to win a track title, Rogers said. If you have a lot of top-five or better finishes, one should have a pretty good chance to win their division.
Rogers was all set to either win or have a good finish last week at Can-Am when the weather had other ideas.
I had won a heat race and was in my car as we were getting ready to weigh the car on the scales when it started to rain, Rogers said.
Besides racing at Can-Am, Rogers has also competed at Rolling Wheels Raceway and Canandaigua Speedway.
I also raced in the Keith Doxtater Memorial race on the black top last month at Evans Mills, Rogers said. I was running has high as second and third. With about 50 laps in the 60-lap feature, my tires started to go and we finished fourth.
Rogers has a lot on his plate for a 23-year-old. He own an auto detailing business on West Main Street, and a lawn and landscaping business. During the winter, it is snow plowing that keeps the business busy.
The businesses help fuel his love for racing. It appears Rogers has many years ahead of him to continue pursuing his love of auto racing.

By C.J. MCMANUSSun Advocate reporter
Cancer does not discriminate, it affects and devastates the lives of young and old, male and female, from every possible walk of life. Thankfully, kindness and giving also comes in many packages, demonstrated locally by this year's Locks of Love event. This past Saturday, individuals from every corner of the Castle Valley descended upon Utah State University Eastern's Cosmetology Department en-mass to give the gift of a full head of hair to those suffering from a variety of illnesses.
For nine years, the event has been a success; however in 2011 organizers helped motivate younger participants by offering free beauty treatment for all who donated. A twist that cosmetology department director Debbie Prichard hopes will plant the seed of a lifetime of giving back.
"The incredible thing to me is, I watch these little girls come in, they get their hair cut, they get some gloss put on their lips, their nails done, their picture taken, these are memories. These are great memories for these young people, all centered around giving," explained Prichard. "It's so important for our program because our students are learning how to give back as well; they are learning community service. It helps everyone all the way around."
Jeremy Behling of East Carbon decided to donate after losing a 27-year-old friend to cervical cancer several years ago. An event, he said changed his life in many ways. Because donors must have at least eight inches of hair to make a donation, the process can take several years of commitment.
"I was going to donate last year," said Behling but I was about an inch to short, so I kept it going for another year."
Because Behling's hair was long all over his head, the stylist was able to take three cuts from his scalp, totaling over 37 inches of hair for those in need.
Several of the event's youngest donors came in at the four-year-old mark, showing that there is no minimum age for harvest.
Chantel Hardy, four, of Wellington, originally wasn't into the program but had a change of heart after seeing her grandfather, Theron (Chub) Clark, lose his own hair during a recent battle with cancer.
"She wanted to donate her hair directly to her grandfather," said mother Mindy Hardy with a laugh, while her daughter's hair was being styled. "However, we talked her into giving it to the program because her grandfather is an older guy who doesn't really care if he's bald. Someone else could make much better use of the hair."
Following her donation, Hardy was treated to a glam shot, before and after picture, a manicure, lip gloss treatment and style.
While the event is a character building program for those who donate as well as the stylists who work the project, it also provides a large amount of hair for those in need.
"It's not just cancer patients who need this hair," said Prichard. "There are so many diseases which cause hair loss, such as alopecia which effects both the young and old."
All stylists, with the exception of one professional hair cutter, were former students with the local department showing the lasting commitment within this program. Stylists from Scissor Talk, Bellasano, Don Marcos and Smart Style donated their time this year.
Many of the current USU-Eastern Cosmetology students also participated in the event, a statistic that is impressive if you look at the hours a local cosmetology student puts in every week.
"We don't have normal students schedules here in the cosmetology department," explained Pritchard. "Our students are here 40 hours a week. So for them to come in for a full day on Saturday, is a real commitment. These girls are the future owners of the area's local salons and it is so vital that they learn the importance of giving back to the community that supports them."
Giving back is something the event's major organizer knows about in spades. For the second straight year, Melanie Huff, with the help of her daughter Lexi, made the Locks of Love event a blockbuster.
"She has taken this event to the next level," said Prichard. "She works very hard to make sure we get every bit of exposure and participation we can. For the second straight year it seems like she worked on Locks of Love all year around."
Many in attendance stated that the department was packed just after 9 a.m., and that they stayed relatively busy throughout the day. And while final harvest statistics where not available at the time this article went to press, event organizers where hopeful that the 2011 totals would go above and beyond 2010's 53 donations which yielded 77 and a quarter feet of hair.

Upon arriving at the hotel for the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 review event two weeks ago, THQ had left itineraries of what to expect. And there was one item of particular interest: a "Creation Workshop" in which we would create a wrestler in the new game and have it judged by a "special WWE guest." Who could it be? We were left in suspense until after the presentation the following morning, when we were all introduced to the new United States Champion, Mike Mizanin, better known simply as The Miz. The Miz took the podium, expressed his excitement for the game (which ships tomorrow), and then got right down to business, wanting to know why his ranking in the game was so low. He felt disparaged that there were actually Divas who had rankings higher than his 78, and made it clear that in next year's game, he had better come in with at least a 90, or else there would be trouble.

Well, this sucks. As you all may remember, we discovered that for no clear nor good reason, Nintendo doesn't allow gifting between the US and Canada, even though they're a part of the same region. On the upside, I can still use my US bank card, or even a Wii Points card from the US, and things at least work out that way. Well, earlier this week, I was playing my demo of Pac-man Championship Edition again, and my wife asks why I don't just buy the full one already. "Why not, indeed?" I ask, and set forth to do just that. And I discovered why not: Much like MS Point cards from the US (got one as a gift once), I cannot use my US card here in Canada. Just another lousy set of circumstances resulting from what strikes me as a rather dated system. Much like my inability to watch certain videos online, such as the Wii Fit girl on TRL (else I'd have reported that one myself), for weak reasoning at best. We have MTV here. We also get NBC and other programming here, but damn if I can watch it online. And they wonder why there's so much piracy. But, back to games: At least I got a review code for Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 that Capcom was so nice as to provide for me, so I'll be punching that up and giving it a good go this weekend; the demo was fun, I can say that much. I'll bring my further thoughts on it in the near future. Read More
So, word has gotten out that, rather than making an easier-to-use interface, Microsoft is simply going to erase any game that's not bringing in great numbers from the Xbox Live Marketplace. However, they've yet to announce any titles which will see their plugs pulled. Which is of course what makes this rumored list interesting, as it looks at all the current titles which fulfill the given criteria given by MS: Available for six months, and holding a 65 percent or less Metacritic rating. The last criteria, current unknown and seperating these titles from virtual oblivion, is whether they've had a steady conversion rate. Of course, even though they will retain all functionality and still be able to be re-downloaded in the event of lost data, the following list are the ones you should probably snag sooner, if you wish to take advantage of that safety net, as there may not be a later. See the list (and a few thoughts) after the jump. Read More

Trends come and go-cowboy boots, we miss you not at all-but we've noted that celebs are dedicated to wearing waistcoats. One might even say that they have a (forgive us) vested interest in this piece of apparel. The vest, as we Americans call it, has long been a part of the fashion scene, traditionally as an addendum to uniforms and suits. In recent years it has enjoyed the spotlight as a solo item, ever since Kate Moss was snapped in one while attending Glastonbury 2005. While Moss wore the vest (buttoned-up, with nothing underneath, quite sexy) with super short shorts and a pair of wellies, you can really throw one on with almost anything-as the above ladies show.
One of the vest frontrunners was Sienna Miller, seen here attending a Mathew Williamson fragrance launch in London, who used it as slightly masculine counterpoint to her delicate, lacy tunic. Gemma Ward gave a downtown edge to a sophisticated cocktail dress by slipping on a vest. Kate Moss is one of the most dedicated "vesties," wearing them in a multitude of ways. Seen here strolling in New York (notice her stripes?), Moss has also recently been seen wearing her own Topshop-designed vest, buttoned up and paired with a long skirt. And finally, Selma Blair juxtaposed her proper, tailored vest with wide-legged jeans, a sheer tank, and delicate gold necklaces for a dinner at Il Sole.
We think investing in a, er, vest is a wise buy. First of all, vests are inclusive. You can accentuate or conceal your figure depending on how it's worn (snugly buttoned up, loosely layered). There are a great variety of styles (low-cut, double-breasted, boyish), so finding one that suits your frame shouldn't be challenging. Secondly, vests are flexible. For example, you can throw one over a dress to give your look a casual vibe or slip a t-shirt or button-down under a vest for more coverage. And finally, vests easily refresh any outfit by providing a new focal point.
There are an abundance of vests currently available at a range of prices. One of our favorites is the seersucker, striped McQ version pictured here. ($275, net-a-porter.com) A bold option is Biba's raspberry crepe vest with black heart buttons. (about $330, brownsfashion.com) Naturally, we're wild for Topshop offerings, like their sexy, snug, Drop Front waistcoat in black cotton. (about $70, topshop.com) No surprise that Kate Moss for Topshop includes several waistcoats, like our favorite, the Pinstripe Schoolboy, in grey wool with a faint white pinstripe. (about $70, topshop.com)

Coming soon ... Fat Quarterly's Quilt Colour Workshop
I was very excited to see that the next Fat Quarterly book, Quilt Colour Workshop, is now available for pre-order on Amazon! Tacha, Brioni, Lynne and I built upon the foundation of our first book, Fat Quarterly Shape Workshop for Quilters, and turned our attention to color (or "colour", as the Europeans like to spell.)
It's another beautiful book chock full of great quilting projects ranging from easy (mine) to more difficult (everyone else's), and I can't wait for you to see it.
Amazon is showing the release date as March 31, 2014. Stay tuned for more!

Angel, I feel like we're becoming friends.
I think like there's a legitimate connection between us,
and I'm not just saying that because I want you to sign the confession.
We all mess up.
Like, I remember one time in high school I tried to shotgun
a beer to be cool and I did it and then I threw up.
And like the coolest girl at school was there and I was like ahhhh.
God, I used to make crank phone calls. I got in a lot of trouble for it.
I made mistakes, though. But I confessed.
I told my parents, I did the phone calls.
Now, you shot three people in the head, execution style.
Sign the confession, and let's turn this into a story we laugh about years later.
Like, remember the time Angel shot three guys? Ha-ha!
You're cool, man.
We should go to a Dodgers game sometime.
Do you realize that's hurtful to me?
Shut the fuck up and get out of here.
I tried to do this the nice way, right?
Now we do this the hard way. Get the lieutenant.
You just lost the only friend you had.
Do you know what they call her? The confession machine.
This stuff's about to get real ugly.
All I can tell you is that in three hours you will sign that confession.
Good luck.
Hey look, I don't know what those two bozo's said to you, but I'm not signing the confession.
I'm not afraid of nobody.
Look, I'm not signing the confession, okay?
Hey you're a cop. You can't do anything to me.
I'm not signing anything
I didn't do it, okay?
You put that badge back on.
Hey, I want a lawyer.
Sorry, man, there's nothing I can do for you. You brought this on yourself.
She's what we call a "loose cannon." We don't control her.
Don't look at me like that.
Come on, lady. I didn't do nothin.
God you're frightening.
What're you doin?
Who you gotta call?
I don't wanna go to hell.
But, I still didn't do anything.
You are loco!
What are you doin?
Stay over there.
[screaming and punching sounds]
You broke my Goddamn nose.
Oh, what do you know? My glasses fell off. I'm blind.
You're breaking me down.
Fine! I did it! I did it! I killed all three of them.
Well, well, well. What do you know? Now we can talk.
Are you happy?!
I'll sign anything you want me to just get her away from me.
I don't know who blackened your soul a long time ago, but may God have mercy on it.
Good work Lieutenant. I'll see you. We getting Chinese food tonight?
If there had been a lawyer here, we would have all gone to jail.

All I can say is that I'm glad I reformatted before SP2 install
Needed to clean my system up before going to university anyway
Windows XP Service Pack 2: The 10% Problem
Aug. 31, 2004
AssetMetrix, an asset-monitoring service provider, says its research shows XP Service Pack 2 will cause problems with about one in 10 PCs that use the operating system.
By Gregg Keizer, Techweb News
Upgrading to Windows XP Service Pack 2 will cause problems with about one in every 10 PCs running the operating system, according to research published Tuesday by a Canadian asset-monitoring service provider.
AssetMetrix probed more than 44,000 Windows XP systems housed in nearly 350 companies to come up with its numbers, matching what it found on the PCs against various lists that Microsoft has posted of programs that have, or may have, compatibility issues with the massive update.
"On average, 10.3% of the Windows XP-based machines will have an issue of some degree with SP2," said Steve O'Halloran, managing director of AssetMetrix Research Labs. "Or better put, they have the 'opportunity' for an issue to arise."
The Ottawa company used Microsoft-made lists--including one that identifies applications that have an issue with the now-on-by-default Windows Firewall, and another that names apps known to experience a "loss of functionality" when Service Pack 2 is installed--to come up with its figures.
The 10% rate didn't come as a shock, said O'Halloran, but a new-found correlation between company size and XP usage did. "Actually, I was assuming [the percentage] would be higher, but I didn't expect to spot a statistical difference between large and small companies."
Business with fewer than 100 XP machines, for instance, can anticipate problems with 11.9% of their systems, said O'Halloran, while those with more than 100 XP PCs can figure on issues with just 6.2% of their desktops.
Smaller companies will have a tougher time with Service Pack 2 for a variety of reasons, including a higher concentration of Windows XP PCs. According to AssetMetrix's data, the smaller the company--as measured by the number of PCs it operates--the more likely it's a 100% XP shop.
Other factors play to the increased chance that smaller businesses will be affected by Service Pack 2, said O'Halloran, including their use of older software--which in some cases has issues with Service Pack 2 while newer versions do not--and use of second- or third-tier programs, like Corel's WordPerfect, one of the titles on the "loss of functionality" list.
A lack of standardization also plays to a bigger-than-average impact of Service Pack 2 on small business. Several FTP programs are on the Windows Firewall list, for example, and where an enterprise would likely force all users to deploy just one of those, small businesses are much looser and tend to have different programs on different machines. "It's like the lottery," said O'Halloran. "The more programs you use, the better chance you'll be a 'winner.'"
While small companies will probably have it tougher than big ones today, that will change as larger companies update systems to XP (and thus Service Pack 2) in 2005 in anticipation of Longhorn and to refresh aging hardware.
"Larger companies will have to resolve this tomorrow," said O'Halloran, "because they'll find it's a continual process to insure that this affected software is remedied" when XP SP2 is added to the mix."
By his estimate, compatibility issues with Service Pack 2 will last a year to 18 months, based on previous Windows migrations. And in his mind, as well as many analysts, Service Pack 2 is as much a new operating system as a major security update. "Users should understand software compatibility from that perspective, that [Service Pack 2] is really a new operating system."
But don't let the one-in-10 PC with compatibility problems spook you, said O'Halloran. "Even through you're seeing this quantified, don't use that as an excuse to skirt the issue," he said. "Deploy SP2 now. It's for the greater good of the organization, even if some systems and applications won't work without work."
AssetMetrix offers a seven-day, 25-system trial of its managed asset service--including the new reports that identify which Windows XP-based PCs harbor incompatible applications--on its Web site.

myn says that it's missing something so it doesn't instal the program.
why does it say that.
donno, maybe you wanna tell what what the error is and what it's related to.
ive had nothing but trouble with it really, i installed SP2 and it said it didnt install right, but when i try and uninstall it, i get errors saying nearlly all of my software may not work.
yeah a lot of people got those kind of situations.
Hi all Larry here. Just had to reformat today.. I installed sp2 about 2 weeks ago and it was a steady slide down hill from there.. First it asked me to register my windows at each boot up then it started telling be my memory was screwed finally yesterday it ceased to function and would not boot up...Funny thing is it happen to the tech at my computer store exactly the same way. He down loaded sp2 about 1 week after it came out like I and his did the same deterioration as mine and in the same time frame of about 2 weeks..Any one heard of these symptoms?? I'm typing this up on my wife's 600 mhz celeron and its a charmer let me tell ya. It can barely handle WMP.
That's one of the symptoms, well known and happened to many people. At this point just don't upgrade to SP2 and wait for a re-patch from MS.
i think its a decent update.
I havent had problems with it and the pop up blocker works really good.
popup blocker works good but if you want to allow some site for popups, it's a long process. You'd have to put it in your trusted sites, but then you're trusting the site all the way.

Blandon's Goal Lifts Men's Soccer Back to College Cup
STORRS, Conn. (Dec. 2) - For the first time in the storied history of the program, Creighton men's soccer will make a second consecutive College Cup appearance. The eighth-ranked and 12th-seeded Bluejays punched their ticket to Hoover, Ala., with a 1-0 win at seventh-ranked and fourth-seeded Connecticut on Sunday at a sold-out Morrone Stadium in Storrs, Conn.
The Jays advanced on a goal from Christian Blandon with 90 seconds left, coming off a cross from the right endline from Hermann Trophy candidate Jose Gomez. The score was Blandon's fourth goal of the fall and second game-winner, and it was the MVC-leading ninth assist of the season from Gomez.
Creighton is now 17-3-3 on the year, extending its unbeaten streak to 14 straight, while clinching its fifth overall College Cup appearance (also 1996, 2000, 2002, 2011). Connecticut ends its season 17-4-1, losing at home for the first time since Nov. 7, 2009 and having its 38-match home unbeaten streak (32-0-6) snapped.
CU head coach Elmar Bolowich will make his fifth consecutive appearance in the College Cup after taking Creighton last season and the University of North Carolina the previous three years.
Connecticut had the best chance in the early minutes, as Mamadou Diouf was left unmarked down the right sideline, only to have Creighton keeper Jeff Gal turn him away.
Creighton's first scoring opportunity of the first half came with 17 minutes to play when Gomez' free kick sailed high. The Jays best chance came with just under nine minutes left in the half when Blandon's blast from six yards out was stopped on a kick save from UConn goalie Andre Blake.
Creighton outshot the Huskies 8-3 in the first half, as the Huskies were held without a shot in the final 36:47 of the half.
UConn had a good chance in the second minute of the second half, connecting on several passes in the box but was unable to get a shot on net.
The Huskies offered three strong chances in succession with 18 minutes to play when Gal lost his footing while hauling down a Diouf cross, but was able to keep the ball from crossing the goal line. A short time later Gal punched a curled shot by Carlos Alvarez wide, forcing a corner kick. After the corner kick, George Fochive had a good look from 12 yards out, only to have Gal make a sprawling save.
After Blandon's goal stunned the sold-out crowd, Connecticut had one more chance in the final minute, but an Alvarez header sailed wide.
For the match, Connecticut out-shot Creighton 13-10, but Gal made four saves for the shutout.
Creighton played without the services of Jose Ribas and Eric Miller. Ribas earned a red card in CU's game vs. Akron last Sunday and will be eligible to return next week. Miller, who was available on the active roster, did not participate in the victory.
Creighton takes the field Friday, Dec. 7 against No. 16-seeded Indiana (14-5-3) in the national semifinals. The contest will air live on ESPNU and kick off at approximately 6:30 p.m. CT following the first national semifinal between No. 3-seeded Georgetown and No. 2-seeded Maryland.
Creighton owns a 4-3 record all-time against Indiana, including a legendary 2-1 triple-overtime win in the 2000 College Cup that advanced the Jays to its only national championship game in school history against Connecticut.
