Save the Animals
I applaud Juliette Watt in "Call of the Wild" for upending her life and moving to help animals at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. I am currently volunteering at a local animal shelter in Los Angeles, and I can tell you that animals are hurting in every shelter in every city in America.
Because of the financial crisis, all shelters are filled to capacity with lonely, frightened and abandoned animals. Since the shelters are deluged, the shelter staff value and depend on volunteers to help care for the animals. I have been gathering old blankets, towels and bedding from friends and neighbors to bring to the dogs, so they can be a little warmer in this cold weather.
Anyone who cares about and loves animals can make a big difference by volunteering at their local shelters.

The Great Health Care Debate
I found Janice Hopkins Tanne's article "Health Reformer In Chief," on Kathleen Sebelius a biased one and not what I expect from MORE. According to Ms. Tanne, the opponents of the health reform act are all wearing red horns and want women and children to die slow and painful deaths. Why else would they oppose this fabulous bill? Clearly this is not the case. I am not going to delineate the valid reasons why this bill is not good for the country, as my points would not be "frightening and untrue claims," as Ms. Tanne references.
Ms. Tanne included her own opinion regarding the health care debate in the article, which is not what a true journalist does. Shame on her, and shame on you for printing a biased article. I look forward to seeing a well-balanced article regarding this debate.

This Is Why We Rock…
I just wanted to say I love your magazine. I am 39, and when I began reading my mother's copy of MORE so frequently, she got me a subscription. Whomever picks the cover ladies rocks and has great taste! As a suggestion, Nancy Travis, Elizabeth Shue and Mary Stuart Masterson are also hot and talented.

The Balancing Act
While Wendy Kopp's devotion to the public school system is admirable in "Class Warfare," her lack of devotion to the family system is not. A healthy family depends on parents who are connected, involved, accessible and present to their children and not only physically, but mentally and emotionally.
As the mother of three boys who has tried to balance a career, motherhood and marriage, I know a family deeply suffers when a mother is consumed by her work, as Kopp apparently is.
Kopp admits that she and her husband each travel 90 days per year. She jokes that her husband supports her work schedule, and she says the "kids will be best off if I'm not home…No! If I'm fulfilled!" While it may be fulfilling for Kopp to slay the world's dragons and pay herself $300,000 to do so, her four young children need her. She has chosen motherhood, so that should be her first vocation and responsibility, whether she finds it fulfilling or not.
Perhaps someone should ask Kopp's children how fulfilling their relationship with their mother is?

A Real MORE Woman
Thank you for your magazine! I look forward to reading about women who are defined by their accomplishments, rather than only as wives and mothers.
My 90-year-old mother also anticipates my copies of MORE. She is a good example of a real MORE woman. She left the Idaho Japanese concentration camp in the 1940s to continue her college education in Texas. Then, she went on to medical school to become a doctor at a time when women were encouraged to stay at home, and anti-Japanese sentiments were at an all time high.
So not surprisingly, my mother appreciates reading your magazine, which profiles women like her who have overcome the odds against success.

City chasing Roma pair?
- 06 March 2013 08:49
- Posted by @porter_mcfc
You're waking up to a frenzy of transfer speculation in this morning's headlines, with Monday's win at Villa put firmly on the backburner.
We begin with TalkSport, who reckon City are planning a double swoop for Roma duo Erik Lamela and Miralem Pjanic.
You can watch Lamela here or check out Pjanic.
The website reports: "With David Silva failing to reach the heights of last season and Samir Nasri unable to recapture his Arsenal form, Roberto Mancini is on the hunt for new attacking midfielders to provide the spark behind Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero.
"And as such, he sent the club's Football Development Executive Vieira to Rome on Sunday to watch Argentina international Lamela and Bosnia star Pjanic in action during their side's 3-1 win against Genoa."
Staying with an Italian theme, City face competition from Napoli to land Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona – according to the Daily Express.
Charles Perrin writes: "Manager Roberto Mancini has been scouring the market looking for a winger, as he feels his team lack width in their play.
"Sanchez has been largely unused this season at Barcelona as he has struggled for form.
"However, there are a number of clubs clamouring for his signature.
"Reports in Italy suggest that besides Liverpool, Napoli and Juventus are in the hunt for Sanchez.
"They also mention that if Napoli were to let Edinson Cavani leave in the summer, it would free up substantial funds for the club to play with."
Watch Alexis Sanchez in action for Barcelona.
Finally, there is some positive news for fans of Edin Dzeko this morning as Borussia Dortmund general manager Hans-Joachim Watzke has denied reports that the club will move for City's Bosnian striker this summer.
With striker Robert Lewandowski hot property, many media outlets were suggesting that Dzeko could be an ideal replacement.
But Goal.com reports: "The Bosnia international has been linked with a move to the Bundesliga champions for much of the season, but Watzke feels that anyone who believes the rumour does not understand the transfer policy of the club.
"'Anyone who really believes that a player from Manchester City would be transferred to Borussia Dortmund hasn't understood the BVB business model. Our motto is to develop young players,' he told Sport 1."
Plenty of gossip for you to rake over this morning, but remember that we'll be the first to confirm any official transfer news on mcfc.co.uk!

A man pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to four felony charges and a misdemeanor for wielding a BB gun at Estancia High School last week, the Orange County District Attorney's Office said.
Michael Burke McHugh, 45, of Costa Mesa was arrested by Costa Mesa officers after police said he displayed the gun and scuffled with a school administrator.
He was charged with felony counts of aggravated assault, criminal threats, threat of injury to a public officer or school official and possession of a weapon on school grounds, district attorney spokeswoman Farrah Emami said, along with a misdemeanor count of disobeying a court order.
The 100-yard restraining order McHugh is accused of violating was issued by Orange County Superior Court in 2010, according to Emami. A Police Department statement said the order prevented him from coming in close contact with his daughter, a minor.
McHugh is being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Have you bought puzzles for the kids and they get bored after a couple rounds of play? Make some simple puzzles with recycled materials for play and when tired, these can be recycled again.
One of the first games to introduce to young children is the puzzle. You can buy puzzles made of cardboard or wood in toy or teacher supply stores. But it is easy to create your own puzzles, which is easy on the budget and eco-friendly because they can be made from recycled materials. So, lets get creative and make puzzles with the ideas below. These no-cost manipulative games will keep the kids amused for a lengthy period of time.
Let's get personal
One personalized puzzle kids love is when you attach a child's original drawing to cardboard using spray adhesive. You may wish to photocopy the drawing so children can use it as a model when they put the puzzle together. Very young children can put the pieces on top of the copy. Use scissors or a paper cutter (adults only) to snip the puzzles into four or six simple pieces. And don't forget to use a zipper lock bag or large envelope for storage.
As a variation, enlarge and photocopy a picture of your child on a copy machine. Follow the same procedure above and make a truly personal puzzle your kids will cherish.
Recycle grocery finds into puzzles
You know those meat and produce foam trays that we usually throw away can be the beginning of a fun puzzle. First make sure the trays are clean, or you can even ask the butcher for a couple new ones. Invite the kids to take metal cookies cutters and push them into the foam. If they don't cut through, an adult can use a sharp knife to cut around the outline. Scrape away any crumbs of foam that remain in the shape. Make four to six puzzles each with a different shape - OR - use a large tray and press several shapes into it. This is a great matching game for toddlers and preschoolers as they put the shape into the matching hole.
Colors and shapes are educational
Learning shapes and colors is a major criterion for young children. Simple puzzles can be made at home and can teach developmental skills while the children play. Cut out four basic shapes (circle, square, triangle and rectangle) from four different colors of poster board. Then, cut each shape up into five or six pieces like a puzzle using zigzag lines. Mix up all the pieces and challenge the kids to put them together by matching the colors. Of course, this task will also involve getting the pieces to fit together to complete each shape.
Jigsaw names
One of the first concepts to teach a child is to recognize their name. What better way to teach this skill than to make a name puzzle? Begin by drawing each child's name in large letters on a rectangle of cardboard or poster board. You can use capital and lowercase letters. Invite the kids to color their name and decorate the page using crayons. Then, cut the name into four pieces using puzzle-cutting shapes. Challenge the kids to put together their name puzzles. Store these inside an envelope.
Why not make an edible puzzle?
Kids will love making and baking this puzzle and the prize will be enjoying the taste when the task is completed. Mix up a batch of cookie dough using a recipe of your choice. Roll and shape the dough into a large shape. Place this onto a cookie sheet and score it all the way through into large pieces with a knife. Young children can use plastic knives to help with this part. Bake until browned. Cool and gently break into puzzle pieces. Have the children put the shape back together, name the shape and then eat it. Yummy
Let's play a treasure hunt game with puzzles
Dump all the pieces of several wooden store-bought puzzles into a bag. Give each child an empty frame. Let the kids take turns putting their hand into the bag and choose a piece. Challenge the kids to figure out where the pieces belong. Everyone is a winner when all the puzzle frames are completed.

Every Tuesday during the season, NHL.com fantasy hockey expert Matt Cubeta will provide you with an in-depth analysis of fantasy forwards in his weekly segment: "The Front Line." From updated rankings to players you should keep a close eye on and much more, Cubeta will be your fantasy forwards expert all season long.
Welcome back, fantasy owners! With the season already feeling like we're halfway into it, the first three days of NHL action has given us plenty to look forward to for the remainder of the season in fantasy hockey.
Nothing was more rewarding for fantasy owners than being one of the fortunate to have a 40-year-old forward on your roster. Of course, we're talking about Jaromir Jagr, Teemu Selanne or Ray Whitney. All three veterans got off to a fantastic start, and all three could end up being extremely valuable fantasy assets for the remainder of the season.
Jagr's Dallas debut got started with a bang, as he recorded two goals and two assists (with two of those points coming on the power play). Jagr followed up that performance with two penalty minutes and three shots on goal in a loss at Minnesota, giving him a very well-rounded fantasy line after just two games. While the penalty minutes won't last at that rate, there's no reason to doubt Jagr's ability to put up points -- he could finish the season close to 40 points, which is more than what most would expect considering he was drafted on average with the 149th pick in Yahoo! Leagues.
As for the 42-year-old Selanne, he's been even better after this short stretch. Selanne opened up his season against Vancouver with two goals, two assists, a plus-1, four penalty minutes, three power-play points and five shots on goal -- simply absurd. He was held without a point in Monday's win over Calgary, but throughout his career Selanne has done nothing but prove wrong everyone who thought his decline was on the way. He led the Ducks in points last year with 66 and could sustain point-per-game statistics this season. With Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf expected to improve, Selanne could be among the League leaders in power-play production.
While Whitney didn't have quite as eye-popping an opening weekend as Jagr did in his Dallas debut, he certainly gave fantasy owners hope for a good season in a condensed schedule. In two games over the weekend, Whitney posted one goal, one assist, two power-play points and four shots on goal. He had one of the best seasons of his career last year for the Coyotes, and with the amount of offensive depth he now has in Dallas, expect plenty of assists, power-play points and a good plus/minus this season.
Jagr, Selanne and Whitney should all be owned in fantasy leagues right now, but remember that playing three or four games every week of the season could take a toll on these guys. Temper your expectations, but know there could be a significant reward if things continue to click like they have in the early parts of this 2012-13 season.
On the flip side, several NHL rookies also got off to an extremely hot start over the weekend. However, they are cautiously ranked low for the time being. We cannot simply state (or believe) that just because Jonathan Huberdeau had a fantastic NHL debut that he should automatically be ranked higher -- he clearly has a lot to prove. The players ahead of Huberdeau and his fellow rookies (Mikael Granlund, Vladimir Tarasenko, Nail Yakupov) have shown us in years past that they can perform at a high fantasy level for a full season -- and that's something that cannot be overlooked by fantasy owners.
Marian Hossa -- The big question with Hossa was how he would perform following a concussion during the playoffs. He has made a very clear statement in the early parts of this season: He seems to be just fine. With three days in the books, Hossa has four goals, one assist, a plus-three, six penalty minutes, one power-play point and nine shots on goal in two contests. Hossa is playing the wing with Jonathan Toews in the middle, and if you were able to land Hossa on draft day, it appears he's poised for another outstanding fantasy season.
Thomas Vanek -- Currently the top-ranked fantasy forward in Yahoo! Leagues, Vanek has been nothing short of spectacular for the Sabres. He's off to the best start of his career (2 G, 4 A, plus-3, 2 PIMs, 3 PPP, 12 SOG) and the newly formed line of Vanek with Cody Hodgson and Jason Pominville is working out flawlessly right now. Vanek struggled with 26 goals last season -- the lowest since he scored 25 in his 2005-06 rookie year -- but if these first two games are a sign of things to come, his owners won't be disappointed.
Dany Heatley -- It's been a steady decline in production for Heatley -- back-to-back 50-goal seasons in 2005-06 and '06-07; 41 in '07-08; 39 in '08-09 and '09-10; 26 in '10-11; and 24 last season. However, things are looking up for Heatley, and he could easily exceed expectations for his owners this season. With Zach Parise now on the top line with Heatley and Mikko Koivu, there's a good chance Heatley could lead the Wild in goals with close to 20. He's off to a good start with two goals (both PPG) and an assist in his first two contests, and as long as he continues to see plenty of power-play time (5:05 per game so far), there's reason to think the old Heatley could return.
Jamie Benn -- Drafted on average with the 78th pick in Yahoo! Leagues, Benn has clearly not gotten on the good side of his owners. While he'll presumably take over as the Stars' No. 1 center between Jagr and Loui Eriksson, Benn isn't doing any good sitting on the sidelines. He has the potential to be an elite fantasy player, but for now, he sits in the No. 41 spot in our updated rankings. If he's on your team, the only thing you can do is stash him on your bench and hope he signs soon.
Johan Franzen -- While Valtteri Filppula is a very crafty passing centerman, he's no Pavel Datsyuk, and that hurts Franzen's fantasy value. With youngster Damien Brunner playing the wing on Detroit's top line alongside Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, Franzen finds himself on the second unit with Filppula and Mikael Samuelsson. Franzen recorded an assist in Monday's win over Columbus and is receiving over four and a half minutes of power-play time, so he'll likely still be a productive player to own, just don't expect past stats without Datsyuk on his side.
Blake Wheeler -- Many people are expecting similar production to last season (17 G, 47 A) out of Wheeler this season (he was drafted on average with the 154th selection), but we believe last season may have been a bit of a fluke. For starters, he's skating on a line with Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little -- two solid players, but not exactly a dominant goal-scoring unit in the NHL. In two games, Wheeler has yet to notch a point and is a combined minus-3. Don't drop him yet, but definitely keep an eye on how Wheeler responds.
Panthers' second line -- While Alex Kovalev is not quite 40 yet (he will be on Feb. 24), he is another aging veteran that could carry some fantasy value this season. His Panthers debut got off to a fantastic start after he posted a goal and two assists to go along with a plus-2 and two penalty minutes while skating on the team's second line with rookie Huberdeau and fellow newcomer Peter Mueller. This entire line is worth keeping an eye on, and despite being held pointless against the Senators on Monday (along with the rest of their teammates), they could end up being the most productive line on Florida this season.
These rankings are based on expectations of the season going forward (including injuries).

The Iceman Cometh
by Eugene O'Neill
The Iceman Cometh Theme of Dreams
We're not talking about the ones where you can fly or the ones where you show up for an exam and realize you forgot your pants at home. In The Iceman Cometh it's all about pipe dreams. Those grand scale ambitions that many of us have in vain. The when-I-win-the-lottery-I'm-going-to-do-this-and-that-type dreams. Pipe dreams propel the play. They're the things the regulars at Harry's use to hold on to just a little bit of happiness, and they're the things Hickey comes to kill.
Questions About Dreams
- Why does Evelyn's pipe dream drive Hickey to murder her?
- Are the regulars at the bar better off with or without their pipe dreams?
- Is Larry telling the truth when he claims to be the only one of the drunks who doesn't have a pipe dream?
- Do pipe dreams always involve an imagined event in the future?
Chew on This
The four walls of Harry's along with the characters' pipe dreams place them smack bang in the middle of their own little Purgatory. For most of them, no matter what happens, the next day will be exactly the same as the day before until death—the only source of redemption—arrives.
O'Neill paints a pretty bleak picture of American life in The Iceman Cometh. He seems to be saying that the only way to find happiness is through escape (a.k.a. illusion and alcohol), and the only way to find peace is through death.

Hey everyone, newbie here. I have a 4300 Trek which is my first real mtb in years and the first one that has the preloaded shocks. The shop told me I wouldnt really have to mess with these but didnt really explain how they work and how they should be adjusted. Is there certain types of riding that they need ot be adjusted for? Should they be turned more or less on each side depending on where I'm riding and what I'm doing?

CARBONDALE, Ill.-- The Southern Illinois volleyball team hits the road for the third weekend of Missouri Valley Conference play. The Salukis will travel to Wichita State on Friday night for a 7 p.m. match with the Shockers. On Saturday Southern will play Missouri State in Springfield, Mo. at 7 p.m.
Weekend Schedule
Friday, October 4 | 7 p.m.
Southern Illinois (7-9, 2-2 MVC) vs. Wichita State (13-3, 3-0 MVC) | Live Stats Audio
Saturday, October 5 | 7 p.m.
Southern Illinois (7-9, 2-2 MVC) vs. Missouri State (9-6, 1-2 MVC) | Live Stats Video
LAST TIME OUT Southern Illinois split its games last weekend at home. The Salukis dropped a five-set match to Bradley but picked up a four set win on Saturday afternoon against Loyola.
SCOUTING WICHITA STATE Wichita State enters the weekend with an unscathed conference record of 3-0. WSU topped UNI and Drake last weekend. The Shockers boast the top offense in the league leading the Valley in hitting percentage (.301) and ranking second in kills (13.76/set). Ashley Andrade (.451) and Elizabeth Field (.410) lead the conference in hitting percentage while Andrade also ranks second in blocks averaging 1.22 per set.
SCOUTING MISSOURI STATE The Bears return home to host Southern Illinois after spending the last 11 of their 15 matches on the road. SIU and MSU will tip-off at 7 p.m. for the Bears' Dig Pink breast cancer awareness match. Missouri State split its matches last weekend sweeping Drake before falling to UNI in five sets. Amber Doolittle leads the MSU offense ranking seventh in the MVC in hitting percentage with a .321 clip. Kayla Walton follows with a .313 hitting percentage. Missouri State leads its all-time series with the Salukis SIU 46-16, winning 15 of the last 17 meetings.
IN THE BOOKS Jessica Whitehead has recorded 242 kills so far this season to tally 1,127 during her collegiate career. The senior now enters the record books ranking ninth all-time in SIU history. The Murphysboro, Ill. native also enters the books in kills per set ranking fifth all time averaging 3.29 per set. Whitehead is on pace to crack the top-five in kills, kills per set and attempts.
SERVING IT UP The Salukis serve was effective last weekend as SIU tallied 14 service aces to average 1.56 aces per set. Freshman Meg Viggars, Hannah Kaminsky, and Katie Baki knocked in three apiece. Baki served seven consecutive points against Loyola on Saturday giving SIU the go ahead 25-16 match win.
ON THE ROAD The Salukis played five matches at home in the month of September but will now hit the road for most of October. SIU's road swing kicks off this weekend when they travel to Wichita State and Missouri State. Southern will return the following weekend for their only two home matches of the month, hosting Drake and UNI, then will return to the road for two more weekends visiting Evansville, Loyola and Bradley.
FOLLOW THE SALUKIS Keep up with the Salukis all season long on Facebook, Twitter and at SIUSalukis.com

Good poll. It pretty clearly shows by the varied responses that there is no "perfect gun". It's a good thing too, otherwise it would be rather hard to justify buying more than one ;D

Uh oh. Mex-Tex and a Zippo lighter would make a fine flamethrower.
my perfect gun would be a subcompact ruger p95.
I was scratching my head on this for a while. Then I realized I already have several of the perfect handguns. Glock on!
They already made my ideal gun.....

I described my next purchase: CZ 110.:smt033
this is a good poll
hope we get 100 votes
J.M. Browning may be able to help?
it sure looks to me like the FNP-45 is the description of the leading categories
Went to vote but the 10mm wasn't listed as an option. Besides, the perfect gun is already out there. Glock 20
When I saw the thread title, my immediate thought was, "too late, Browning got there first."
Adding new post so I can edge up to that magic 100 number :smt1099
Having looked at the poll results, it looks like either a 1911, a SIG, or an FNP45 is first. Going down to 9mm, you all are describing a CZ-75B Stainless. I'll take one of each, please.
the way i read the data a 1911 is not in the running
did I mis-read the data
I got
DA/SA / Semiauto / Polymer / Hi Cap / .45 / manual safety
not sure what SIG it is cause i am not a SIG follower but it definitely is the
new FNP45
Yeah, I ignored the frame material since steel/aluminum wasn't listed.
single stack (8-9rds)
DA/SA w/hammer <10lb DA, <4.5lb SA
<20oz. empty
<1.2" width
3.5" barrel
3 dot sights
corrosion resistant finish or ss.
safety or decocker doesn't matter
Any such "animal" exist?
The perfect handgun would have to be LEFTHANDED!
I could easily design the perfect gun....however Glock beat me to it!

We put the lots in burger zealots.
Or was it the zeal?
We launched this joint in 2004 with a burger love hotter than our griddle and deeper than our fryer. Kinda sizzly like that too. In our not-so-modest opinion, the dime-a-dozen mega chain territory was pretty well covered. (Hats and hair nets off to them.) The same could be said for overpriced one-offs.
So instead, we brought you MyBurger. A Minneapolis-rooted, family-run gathering place complete with a little neighborhood know-how. A place where your burger is hand-made the way you like it, just as soon as you order it. Maybe a few seconds earlier if we hear you coming. And if that's the case, you might want to have someone take a look at that muffler. Or take those cards out of your spokes. (C'mon. You're not fooling anyone.)
At MyBurger, we see tastebud trust as earned, not given. So we've kept it simple, with burgers good enough to bring a man-tear to your eye. And if getting fries right is a science, high school chemistry wasn't a total waste after all. Whether you opt for the humble Single or loaded-up Double, it comes your way on a just-puffy-enough, locally-baked buttered bun. Two parts oniony. One part ketchup-mustard-pickle-y. All real good-ly. Of course you can always request a custom job. If you're comfortable messing with perfection.
So stop in, order up, grab a fistful of napkins and slide into your favorite seat for a griddle-seared quarter pound patty of you're welcome. At My Burger, we're here for you, buddy. And we gotta say, we kinda miss you between visits.

Great quote. If I could only do more of this not doing I'd be much better off. I think too much. I do too much. And that's not an effective long term strategy.
Posted by Skrocki's Blog on January 24, 2009 at 04:36 PM JST #
I have to say that if you look back 10 years ago, we are at this day and age working so much more and doing so much more. Probably that's one of the reasons why Project Management was not as complicated in the past, PMs simply knew what not to do.

Home Remedies Recipes
Lavender Massage Oil
It's quick and easy to make lavender massage oil by just adding the essential oil to a "fixed oil." But for greater medicinal benefit, add lavender flowers as well.
You'll need:
- 1½ ounces dried lavender buds
- 4 ounces vegetable, nut, or seed oil (apricot kernel, almond, grapeseed, or a combination)
- 5–10 drops lavender essential oil
- Place the lavender buds in a wide-mouthed glass quart jar.
- Pour the oil over the buds, put on the lid, and let sit in a warm, sunny spot for 2 to 3 weeks. (Alternatively, you can hasten the process by gently warming the oil and buds in a double boiler for 45 minutes to 1 hour.)
- Strain the buds from the oil and add the essential oil drop by drop, until the scent is to your liking.
- Bottle and store in a cool spot out of direct sunlight, where the oil will keep for at least 6 months.
To use: Keep a small bottle by your bedside to use for evening massages and a small bottle in your bathing area for a calming massage and/or body oil after a hot bath.
From Rosemary Gladstar used with permission from Storey Publishing.
Spearmint Shower Gel
10 Minutes Prep Time | Makes 1 Cup
You'll Need:
- 5 to 8 drops wintergreen essential oil
- 5 to 8 drops spearmint essential oil
- 1 c unscented shower gel or liquid soap
- Thoroughly mix ingredients in a large bowl. Store in large clean jar with a tight-fitting lid or-a clean plastic container.
To use: Wash with a dab on a washcloth or loofah. Rinse thoroughly.

Healthy living, herbal remedies and DIY natural beauty.
By Robyn Griggs Lawrence
diy giftwrap, dig gift wrap, green christmas paper, green gift wrap, led holiday lights, earth friendly christmas, eco friendly holiday
We should all be prepared by now, but it seems every year
the holidays can catch us off guard with endless piles of stuff. I'm not referring to the welcome stuff, either, such as
gingersnaps, pine-scented wreaths and crackling candle wicks. I'm talking about
the associated piles of ripped-up holiday paper, empty food containers, giant
bags full of raked leaves, and plastic tinsel scraps that just won't seem to
disappear. These stuffs – the landfill-clogging wastes that surround the
holidays – can really weigh down an otherwise festive spirit.
Thankfully, there are ways to celebrate that are both easy
on yourself and the planet. Here are 12 great ways to make your Yuletide season
bright, beautiful and benign.
1. Seek out gifts that are minimally packaged,
don't require batteries, are recyclable and locally made.
Buys gifts that are recycled or locally made, such as these reclaimed wood picture frames from Wood from the Hood.
3. Give gifts that won't produce waste: concert tickets,
museum or gym memberships, charitable donations.
4. Save wrapping paper and ribbon to use again. Even
mismatched scraps can make a fun wrapping collage.
5. Wrap gifts in newspaper, which is recyclable, or fabric,
which is reusable. Old scarves and men's ties make excellent ribbons.
Give gifts wrapped in recycled paper or placed in reusable gift bags.
7. Download Gift Exemption Vouchers from MissMinimalist.com.
In return for letting recipients off the gift-giving hook, agree to spend time
8. Make wreaths and swags from items in your own backyard
(evergreen branches, pinecones, nuts, holly). While you're at it, make all yourdecorations.
9. Instead of hosting a lavish dinner, invite friends and
family for brunch or dessert.
10. Send cards to only half your list. Finish the task next
year. Or, for family members spread far and wide, plan your cards to arrive
near the day you know the whole family will be together. That way a single
group card is sufficient. (Better yet, send e-cards.)
11. When buying presents online, avoid overnight delivery.
Using ground delivery is probably the single biggest thing you can do to lessen the
impact of online shopping. Combine orders, and have gifts sent to your
workplace, where UPS, FedEx and the U.S. Postal Service are probably already
stopping by.
12. Replace energy-thirsty incandescent string lights with
ultra-efficient LEDs. The LEDs use a fraction of the energy and last 10 times
longer, meaning fewer light strands make it to the dump.
And finally, I urge you to read Bill McKibben's Hundred Dollar Holiday. I aim for this goal—spending
only $100 on Christmas—every year. I've yet to make it, but it sure is fun to
try. If you take on even a few of these 12 Ways this year, you're on the right
track to reducing waste and simplifying the season. Happy holidays!

California may be the golden state but it is also a garden state. Innumerable gardens have been made since the Europeans first came, starting with the Franciscan missionaries. The gold rush was the defining period, leading to immense expenditures by newly rich miners.
This book discusses many simple but beautiful gardens created by waves of immigrants. Gardens were necessary for food but also represented repose and leisure. The nature and style of domestic and private gardens shape the landscape of cities and towns just as much as large civic architectural achievements.

So this is my third hard drive that I installed on my intel Mac OS X desktop (made in 2007), and I installed Western Digital Black Caviar (which is supposed to last 3 yrs, I believe). But the hard drive is already failing: I hear tapping noises, occasionally, the hard drive clicks just once, and there's been some freezing lately (for example, when waking up my Mac from sleep mode, it freezes on black screen and finally turns on after 15 seconds). Sometimes, Safari freezes, sometimes, I get a scrambled screen with Safari open, etc. Do you have any idea why this is all happening? This Western Digital drive was installed barely two weeks ago, and now it's failing? Maybe the hard drive is not the problem?
If you also experience random crashes sometime it might be a good idea to run Memtest86 to check whether it's actually the RAM that is causing problems.
Also, boot from your installation disk and let Disk Utility verify the harddisk (not SMART status, but the "real" verify which has its own button). If it finds errors, I recommend to buy DiskWarrior to repair the filesystem as in my experience DiskUtils can't repair anything at all.
Failing hard drives tend to cause freezing on your computer, as it takes longer for your Mac to read system files. If you think your HD is failing (as it sounds), it should still be under warranty, so you should be able to get it replaced. You can check your drive status in Disk Utility: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh1896.html but this check is not always 100% accurate.

A crew member on Norwegian Cruise Line's Norway was arrested in Miami earlier this week when it was discovered, during a customs inspection, that he was "wearing" two kilos of heroin. The employee, who hails originally from Jamaica, had strapped the drugs to his body. The discovery caused a delay for passengers, who then had to wait while drug-sniffing dogs searched the ship. Nothing else was found.
According to NCL spokeswoman Heather Sheats, "we are currently cooperating with U.S. customs in the investigation and have been asked not to comment on the situation."

Remember the first time you saw wall sconces (maybe in a historical home or at a country club)? Remember thinking how very classy they were? No? Okay, we were not anticipating that answer... Well, the first time we noticed wall sconces they were in a stately old mansion and they just oozed refinement. We like how the Arabella Wall Sconces ($153/set of two) remind us of those fine old homes, but can easily be added to our new places.

San Diego Welcomes Newest – and Youngest – Conservative Radio Talk Show Host
Welcoming Mike Slater to San Diego by way of Jackson, Tenn. in a downpour on his second day seemed a bit of let down – mostly for me.
"Welcome to sunny San Diego?" he asked grinning as he put out his hand. I laughed while sitting down my soaked raincoat and umbrella. He was wearing a tie-less button-up blue dress shirt and seemed right at home in La Mesa's Hooley's, where we chewed some serious fat over federal, state and local politics, local movers and shakers, and some of the usual suspects for more than an hour.
The learning curve in this small, big town market is huge. But ready or not – he'll be live from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. on 760 KFMB next Monday, January 3, 2011.
I took a seat across from him beside his new executive producer, Anna Good, 27, who started her radio career with the Rick Roberts Show at KFMB AM760 years ago while I was the communications director for Senator Dennis Hollingsworth, R-Murrieta. Since then, she worked as producer for KOGO AM600's The Mark Larson Show and later, associate producer for The Roger Hedgecock Show.
But today, she's on her second day back to KFMB completely in charge of building her first show from the ground up as executive producer and with a host younger than herself.
So what would make a 26-year-old conservative talk show host relocate from 1390 WTJS in West Tennessee to San Diego – besides the *ahem* beautiful weather?
"I'm looking for something new, different," Slater said. "I may want a syndicated show one day, but right now, I want to be the hometown talk show for local politics."
The Yale alumni calls Syracuse, New York, home where he says it's gray as many days as sunny in San Diego. Slater was recruited to the Ivy League university for the swim team. He's also a marathoner and triathlete. The university didn't offer trades, like journalism and communications, so he studied history and wrote for the Yale Daily News plus worked some at Yale Radio.
"I kind of created my own major," he said. The Glenn Beck fan moved to Nashville from Yale, which he called "off-the-charts crazy liberal" to speak to folks more his speed.
"There was always some protest going on at Yale," he said. "One day, I'm crossing campus and they had a sign up: 'Welcome to Tolerance Village.' Of course I had to check it out. They had upside down cardboard boxes labeled: 'Free Health Care,' 'No Guns,' and 'Bar-less Prisons.' "
What's a bar-less prison?
"I asked a girl and she said it's inhumane to put prisoners behind bars," he said. "So I asked, how do you keep them inside? Her answer: shrubbery. All that made me more conservative."
Conservative – not Republican. Slater's a registered Independent with a Libertarian bent. His favorite author: Ayn Rand.
Slater and Good hope to create a hometown talk show to talk about local politics and how state and federal politics effect day-to-day life in San Diego – a show format this town hasn't really seen since Hedgecock went national.
If conservatives want to debate issues during campaign season, they've gone to KPBS hoping to reach some moderates, decline to states and die-hard supporters. Slater hopes his show fills that void as well as draws some center-lefts to his show.
"I'm interested in what they have to say," he said. "I want to discuss the days' news and what's going on in all the local media and not just the major outlets."
The show's format includes three talk segments plus a news talk segment with shorter breaks. It's a very different show clock than others in town. Slater said he prefers to have a new discussion topic each hour for debate and discussion mostly with call-ins.
He and Good discussed wanting to incorporate social media streams on Twitter and Facebook with the show. Slater also maintains a podcast and writes a blog.
"We want this to be highly-interactive," Slater said over a plate of fish tacos – fried, of course.
Bringing in a young, fresh face seems to indicate a course change for KFMB. Good agreed and said she sees the station becoming more "hometown" focused again.
"We've still got the Hannity and Beck syndicate shows, but that still fits in with Mike," she said. "Bringing in somebody young who can really get engrossed in the community brings new eyes to our issues of the day. We don't have any young voices in San Diego, and yet we're a young town with young families and a large military population. It brings a whole new perspective to San Diego."
Slater hasn't been on the radio outside Nashville in a couple weeks. He's going to try out a few new sign offs during his dry run this Friday. He already knows his old one won't work. Let's just say "raiders" was part of it.
"I don't know, maybe 'Spread the Word, Slater Crusaders' " he said. "That's a mouthful. Or maybe just 'Spread the Word.' We'll see how it evolves."
And so will we. Welcome to soggy San Diego, Mike.
Follow Mike Slater @slaterradio and you can find The Mike Slater Show on Facebook.

Jackson,TN's loss is San Diego's gain. You are getting not only a great radio personality but a great person. He made a big impact here in our community and will do so there in no time.
Enjoyed the story too.
"Slater's a registered Independent with a Libertarian bent. His favorite author: Ayn Rand."
Welcome to San Diego, Mike Slater!
San Diego, you are going to love Mike. He has a great love & respect for our Armed Forces so it's awesome that he is in a military town. Despite the fact he is a Yale graduate, he has a headful of common sense. That's what we in West Tennessee call "Farm Logic". In his years here, he coalesed our conservatives and gave us a rally point. We have been fortunate to have had Mike and will miss him. We always knew he was destined for bigger things. I will always consider him a friend. Good Luck, Mike !
Jamie and Chad:
The sense of loss you feel is obvious from your comments
here. While San Diego is my home town, I can say it is not
"bigger things" than the great Volunteer State which gave
the USA Presidents Andy Jackson and James Polk. In fact,
it was President Polk who INSISTED that the map drawn
between Mexico and the US in 1848 put San Diego on the
Northern side of that line. We tip our hats to Tennessee
for that!
Seriously I listened to Mike from the beginning here in Jackson and you guys are going to love him. I have also gotten to know him personally and what you hear on the radio is what you get.
I am proud of Mike and feel like a parent watching my kid move out into the world as a big success.
San Diego will love Mike as much as we here in Jacskon have. What can represent the American dream better than a skinny young college kid from New York making a sucessful career in Tennessee, and landing a choice gig in California!! Let Freedom ring Mike!!!
Y'all will soon realize what a gem you are getting! It won't take long at all for the San Diego listeners to become attached to, and profoundly moved by, Mike Slater, just as we have been here in West Tennessee!
And please don't make fun of our Southern accents when we call in to the show from listening online! 🙂
P.S. Here's a little secret…Mikey L-O-V-E-S himself some Carrie Underwood!
Doing a local radio show on political issues is a difficult business model. Syndication provides an economy of scale not available to a local host. It's a tough go.
But boy, am I pleased with the effort! Local talk show hosts get into city and regional issues, and for us San Diego County activists, that's political catnip.
We lost Roger Hedgecock to national syndication, and — agree or disagree — have missed his shows on local politics. I hope Mike is a successful replacement, and I selfishly wish he doesn't syndicate!
Oh, didn't someone mention that Mike has a libertarian bent? Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

The Humor of Roland Roy
Renowned artist Roland Roy is a fountain of creativity. His Art and Poetry encompass all aspects of Life. His versatility complements his creative genius and keeps him from becoming emotionally wedded to a single medium.
Roland Roy's sense of humor is unique to say the least. Often blunt, or irreverent, it's never boring, and it's always amusing.
This book shows his penchant for off the wall illustrations of common phrases, ideas and things we encounter daily. Take a trip on "Origami Air," visit "Uncle John," or see the "Fish Tank Juggler," if you want to enjoy some different fun.
I was born and raised in Honolulu and developed an interest in Art as an adult working for the Honolulu Police Department. Art became my sanctuary from my job, and I drew furiously for a year, while a friend sent my drawings to art colleges on the mainland. I chose Art Center in Pasadena and ventured off to California. After Art Center, I pursued a career in television and design that led to numerous awards, including the New York Film Festival Award for a documentary he co-wrote and directed. I also designed the CBS promotional Fall Campaign in 1986 and followed with the Star Wars Congressional Presentation for Ronald Reagan with Bob Able and Associates. I retired soon after that to concentrate on my own Art. I convey many moods in my work and am more interested in the effect of a subject than its correctness. I like to explore all facets of art from music to poetry, sculpting to stage plays. I want to touch, to feel everything. Visit www.Rolandroy.com to view samples of my Art.

It is said that two things are certain: death and taxes. Of course, that ignores the inevitability that those taxes will be spent on ridiculous crap. We asked our readers to show us what presidents have secretly splurged on with our hard-earned money. The winner is below, but first the runners-up ...

text: ACA Individual Tax Penalty Explained Back Penalty myths abound! We continue to discuss the individual mandate in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) – and the associated tax penalty with our tax customers. Many uninsured taxpayers are shocked to learn that their penalty for lacking minimum essential coverage could be a lot more than $95 in 2014. Indeed, that fact runs counter to the most common perceptions about the ACA's penalty provision. And who can fault taxpayers for a poor understanding of the penalty? In general, the computation of the penalty would be the lesser of (a) the sum of the monthly penalty amounts or (b) the sum of the monthly national average bronze plan premiums for the family. 78 Fed. Reg. 53646, 53662-63 (Aug. 30, 2013) (to be codified at 26 CFR § 1.5000A-4). The sum described in (a) is the greater of (i) the flat dollar amount or (ii) the applicable percentage (e.g., 1% in 2014) of the taxpayer's household income over the applicable filing threshold. The final rule on the individual mandate and associated tax penalties clarifies that the flat dollar amount for an entire household is limited to 300% of the applicable dollar amount per uninsured adult. Id. (to be codified at 26 CFR § 1.5000A-4(b)(2)(i)(B)). Also, the family cannot pay more than the average national premium for a bronze plan in penalties. Id. (to be codified at 26 CFR § 1.5000A-4(a)(2)). Perfectly clear, right? Now there is a much easier way to explain the penalty. To help with this educational effort, we created this explanation, worksheet, and example. We hope that this help to clarify the ACA tax penalty for taxpayer and clear up misinformation and confusion. Please feel free to use, reproduce, and/or distribute these documents as much as you like; we just ask that you do so without modifying the content or format. Of course, we encourage all users to discuss the results with a trained tax preparer before drawing conclusions. Use this worksheet to calculate the annual penalty for your situation. Example of a completed ACA Penalty Calculation worksheet. The ACA is tightly linked to taxes – and we at Jackson Hewitt are focused on helping American families with this and all aspects of the tax code.
