It is true, we are suffering from a bed bug issue, the landlord spayed, but I guess it's not enough, the spaying companies are doing the worse job even, giving bullshit reasons of why the bugs aren't dying and each time giving it more reasons.
The landlord tried to fix the problem, by getting the pest control company, he was receptive. but the companies are using methods that arent efficient to spay.

There is budbugs in this apartment. I told landlord about budbugs, but he refused to admit.
He did not spray, did not replace furniture and mattress.

The apartment had roaches. The landlord denied it but other tenants confirmed that there is a long standing bug problem in the building. Shortly after moving in, we noticed roaches coming out at night. The landlord refused to spray because he says there are no roaches in the building.

Memphis Belle was the first B-17 Flying Fortress to complete 25 missions over enemy territory and thus takes her place in the Aviation Hall of Fame. Her Skipper Col. Robert "Bob" Morgan flew her through all of them. She dropped 80 tons of bombs, shot down several enemy fighters and damaged many more. She suffered severe damage on many occasions, returning once with half of her tail shot away and was riddled with machine gun fire.
She had a wing destroyed and five engines needed replacing but she kept going out and coming back into the teeth of the murderous Flak and hordes of Me 109 and Fw 190 fighters. She flew almost 150 hours of combat missions, her crew were decorated 51 times, all receiving at least the Distinguished Flying Cross.
The "Belle" is pictured on her way to France again but on the edge of the box in probably the most vulnerable position. Today there is no fighter escort and she will be shot to pieces. In a twenty minute running duel with FW 190's she will lose half of her tail but with elevators jammed Bob Morgan will get her home again.
Size 20" x 24". Limited edition of 1500 prints.Signed by Col. R. Morgan.

NEW YORK -- Five days
short of its eight-year anniversary, the New Victory Theater reaffirmed
its vital role as the city's only nonprofit theater dedicated to
kids and family programs with the cheeky Aussies of Circus Oz. Saturday
afternoon's performance was a benefit for the New Vic's Education
and Youth Corps programs, chaired by Phoebe Cates Kline and Rita
Schrager. Though Ms. Cates Kline was home with the flu that afternoon,
husband Kevin, in full Falstaff busy beard for the Lincoln Center
run of Henry IV, and their beautiful children made a strong showing
of support amidst the rambunctious audience.
The show opens with
a fiery bang as a row of drummers with flaming sticks pound out
a rhythm on top of the riot of the company band. Flaming hula hoops
and bicycle wheels round out the spectacular introduction. We meet
an upside-down clown with a bit of gravity confusion who walks on
the 'ceiling' of the theater. He eventually "climbs" down the pole
to the stage before the company attacks the pole in a barrage of
gasp-inducing displays of incredible inner thigh strength and coordination.
More than once I swore one of the performers was shooting for a
broken nose, sliding down the pole, head first, arms airplaned out
only to stop at the last moment with a clench that would make any
downtown dominatrix proud. Juggler Joel Salom accompanies the antics
using his JAMIDI (Juggling Activated Musical Instrument Digital
Interface); as he juggles balls against the sensors on his arms,
a lively musical sequence ensues.
Tough broad Melissa
Fyfe's interlude on the German wheel, that big contraption resembling
a hamster-wheel, is pure magic, showcasing her unassuming strength
and flexibility with plenty of exhilarating precariousness. A deceptively
simple contraption, the wheel shifts from jungle gym to trapeze
to swing set to tidal swell as Fyfe slides, drops, flips, surfs
and suspends with all the hypnotic potency of a perpetual motion
Six weeks into new motherhood,
I was completely heartened by the display of playful power from
the women in the company. Anni Davey supports any number of performers
in any number of ways, including by dangling someone by her hair,
and Ruby Rowat rushes past us with willful abandon on her swinging
trapeze. I can't wait to bring my daughter to the New Vic during
its 10-year anniversary season to instill images of flying bodies
and people standing on each other's heads.
But the company provides
plenty of rocking good fun beyond any nouveau feminist agenda. Matt
Wilson's good-hearted boy scout gets shot from a cannon to earn
his badge for world peace while Jim Dunlop provides just enough
pithy political humor in his game-show narration, declaring the
section's "weapons fabricated by Donald Rumsfield" to keep the parents
in the audience on edge. Wilson must maneuver around the 'razor-wire
of repression,' against the 'bodyguards of brutality' using the
'road-map to peace.' He flies through the air onto the crash-mat
of human kindness (brought to us by George Bush Reloaded) and I'm
dreaming of running away to join the circus just so I can experience
a few seconds of what looks like a luxurious free fall.
Sosina Wogayehu does
the rubber pretzel thing in an old school setting. As she bends
herself backwards all the way through her legs, an accordion plays
and she is rotated on a manually operated turntable surrounded by
dim bulbs. Salom manages to get his jacket off and lose his pants
and get them back on again without dropping a pin, and the only
animal on the roster is a robot dog who likes to tell stand-up and
piss on the audience.
Circus Oz continues
at the New Victory Theater through January 11.

The first time Masha Hamilton traveled through Afghanistan talking with the country's most disenfranchised women—war widows, imprisoned criminals, child brides—she felt that the expulsion of the Taliban had given them a sense of hope. When she went back four years later, in 2008, the Taliban had returned to power in large sections of the south "almost overnight," she says. That led Hamilton to act on a long-simmering idea, one sparked by the Taliban's public execution of a mother of seven: to help Afghan women tell their stories. "Telling one's story is a human right," says Hamilton, a journalist, award-winning novelist (31 Hours, The Camel Bookmobile) and Brooklyn mother of three. "I believe as these women write, they also begin, in ways only they know, to take control."
In 2009, working with colleagues in Kabul and the U.S., Hamilton founded the Afghan Women's Writing Project (AWWP). Since then, some 100 American authors, journalists and screenwriters have led monthlong online workshops for more than 60 Afghan women (the project provides computer access to those who don't have it). These sessions—conducted in English, which many of the women learned in refugee camps—encourage them to unveil their souls in prose and verse. Many women participate in secrecy, knowing their families would punish them if they found out.
Why run such a risk? "I took the pen . . . and everything changed," writes a student named Roya. "I learned if I stand, everyone will stand." The AWWP has created a space in Kabul—dubbed the Women's Writing Hut—where participants are free to meet, work and share their compositions aloud. The Hut is a rough draft of sorts for AWWP's next big project: opening Kabul's first women-only Internet café. Hamilton estimates that securing funding and local partners will take about two years. In the meantime, read the women's harrowing, beautiful work at awwproject.org.

Conventional wisdom holds that this spring's spate of primaries shows the Republican establishment beating back tea party challengers.
Establishment victories, the CW goes on to assert, give the GOP a better chance to win control of the Senate this fall because the party won't be running flawed candidates, such as Todd Akin in Missouri, Sharron Angle in Nevada, and Christine O'Donnell in Delaware. In 2010 and 2012, the GOP lost races it might have won because of nominees like Angle, Akin, and others. Those defeats may have cost the Republican Party control of the Senate.
No doubt the more obvious wing nuts are in retreat this year. On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell beat back a tea party challenger in Kentucky, and two ultra-conservatives in Georgia trailed the two candidates thought to have the broadest appeal in the general election. The two leaders advanced to a July 22 runoff.
With few exceptions — Ben Sasse's primary victory for a Senate seat from Nebraska is one — establishment-backed candidates have prevailed.
But here's the rub: Establishment candidates may be winning GOP primaries, but moderates are not. To put it another way, tea party-backed candidates may be losing, but the tea party agenda is triumphant.
Tea party leaders are quick to point out that establishment candidates are adopting tea party principles. "Everybody runs like a tea party candidate now," said Matt Kibbe, president of FreedomWorks, a tea party group. "Everybody is running against Obamacare and against overspending in Washington. It wasn't always like that with the Republican establishment. I don't even recognize McConnell from where he was a few years ago."
House Speaker John A. Boehner says much the same thing. "There's not that big a difference," the Ohio Republican observes, "between what you call the tea party and your average conservative. We're against Obamacare, we think taxes are too high, we think government is too big. I wouldn't continue to sing that same song."
Thom Tillis in North Carolina proves Kebbe and Boehner right. Backed by a few million dollars from mainstream Republican fundraising groups, Tillis easily defeated a libertarian doctor and a Baptist minister in the GOP primary earlier this month. He now faces Senator Kay Hagan, one of the Democrats more vulnerable incumbents.
Tillis may have establishment support, but he's no moderate. As Speaker of the North Carolina House, TIllis oversaw the state's abrupt shift to the right. Since 2011, when the GOP took over legislature, Tillis and his allies have passed a constitutional ban on gay marriage, abolished the estate tax, required a photo ID for voting, enacted severe abortion restrictions, funded educational vouchers, eased restrictions on fracking, and cut unemployment insurance.
It's enough to make a tea partier's heart go aflutter!
There are some differences between the so-called Republican establishment and the tea party. Immigration, for example, divides the party, with leadership types like Boehner understanding that the GOP must appeal to Latinos if it hopes to win a national election in the future while the more rightwing, ultra-conservatives refuse to compromise on what they call amnesty.
But, for the most part, the differences are more stylistic than substantive. The more aggressive tea partiers rail against what they call business as usual in Washington, while the party regulars know that occasionally it may be necessary to compromise with congressional Democrats and President Obama. But on the issues, all Republicans these days sing from the same hymnal.
It wasn't always this way. There was a time, not so long ago, when the Republican Party had a conservative wing and a moderate wing. Republican moderates worked with their Democratic counterparts on issues ranging from civil rights to tax reform. But no more. The party's more moderate, establishment leaders like Boehner fear antagonizing tea party elements, which is why immigration reform, which Boehner knows the party must do, cannot get through the House.
Establishment Republicans believe tea party activists are part of a winning GOP coalition. The tea party activists do the work, get out the vote, and rally the base. They vote in primaries, making it important for every Republican to get to the right.
Tea party-backed candidates may not be winning many primaries in 2014, but the tea party ideology has been adopted by the entire Republican Party.

It's a much happier Erik Meyer this time around.
The former Eastern Washington University quarterback has emerged from a potentially career-ending injury a year ago March to become the Arena Football League's leading passer with the undefeated (3-0) Spokane Shock.
Meyer leads his team into Friday's 7 p.m. home opener against defending AFL champion Arizona after tossing nine touchdown passes in Spokane's 66-43 win last Friday over the Iowa Barnstormers.
In three games this season Meyer has completed 82 of 110 passes for .745 percent and 24 TDs and no interceptions. He's also had a...

Office politicians can run off the rails
'Derailment' occurs when a manager with a great track record hits the skids, often spectacularly. It's highly undesirable, for the disruption and human harm it can involve, and its costs.
New research reported on our Occupational Digest suggests it ismay be possible to predict which managers are most likely to be derailed.

Then somebody wants her dead, and she has
no clue why.
As if things couldn't get any worse.
Her true battle isn't against the lies,
deceit and murder happening all around her. It's meeting the mysterious dark
stranger who comes to her rescue. He is strength, power, hints of danger,
and everything she is against in a male.
For the first time in her life, Lana fights
the toughest battle of all: to maintain her heart from a man who has made it
clear he intends to possess her as his own, whether she is willing or not.

"I like telling stories. I have always
had a vivid imagination, so things naturally fell into place with Pure
Distraction. The difficult part was getting the character's personalities
established. The main characters and situations they encounter are a
combination of me, my husband, and people I have encountered over the years.
I used a mixture of personalities and incidents to create my characters and
scenes because I wanted things to appear realistic and believable to my
readers." ~ Carolina ~

5 Stars:
"Ms. Barbour has written what is classified as an erotic futuristic
romance but I would also like to point out that there are a few suspenseful
twists and turns, and a "whodunit" flavor to this erotic offering. Pure
Distraction is just that, a huge distraction if you want to get anything
else done while reading it. I found that Ms. Barbour did a great job in not only
setting up this alternate society but also showing both how it was supposed to
work and how it changed. Readers should note that there are also a few M/M
encounters as part of the storyline. Overall, I found the world Ms. Barbour
created to be intriguing and I hope she hopes to use it in future adventures.
Pure Distraction is a great summer read, but make sure you have time to sit
and read it all, as you will find you keep going back to it until you finish
Tanya, Joyfully Reviewed from Amazon.com
4 Stars:
"Pure Distraction is a very good story. Both good and evil
characters are very well written and stay true to their characters. As Lana
continues to fight her desire for Xander, the sexual interaction becomes all
that much hotter. I truly enjoyed their sexual chemistry, hot sex, and sexy
banter between Xander and Lana. Each secondary character was needed for this
story and they were skillfully written. This story had many suspenseful moments which left me
guessing until the very end. This is Ms. Barbours first novel. I cant wait to
read her next work. One caution, some readers may be offended by the M/M sexual
scenes enacted by the secondary characters. However, I highly recommend Pure
Distraction. "
LT Blue, Just Erotic Romance Reviews
4 Blue Ribbons:
"I couldn't put this book down until I finished it. Lana is a
character with a bold attitude and enough spunk to make her likable. Xander is
your typical alpha male who wants to protect and claim at the same time.
Volcanic love scenes erupt from the pages and leave you breathless. There is the
added suspense and mystery of who is trying to get rid of Lana and why. Carolina
Barbour is an excellent author and I highly recommend this book for those who
love futuristic stories. I will be on the lookout for upcoming releases from
Carolina Barbour and hope that the wait won't be long."

Damn. Damn. He was in trouble. The thought popped into
his head when she finally stepped from the cleansing chamber and
walked toward him. He lowered his lashes, pretended to act
nonchalant, as if he wasn't captivated by the gentle sway of
full hips coming toward him.
He got an instant hard-on. She wore a clinging
fawn-colored wrap that looked like rich cream swirling around
caramel skin. The gauzy wrap was tied at her waist. It was long,
almost to her feet, but not quite, falling softly around her
ankles. The low bodice revealed plenty of creamy cleavage and
the swell of her heavy breast nicely. He imagined how the full
globes would overflow his palms when he got his hands on her.
She was statuesque, not to short or tall, but just right.
He couldn't see her legs, but prayed to the Immaculate
Providence her hips were shapely and long. Shifting in his
chair, Xander felt his cock throb at the thought of having those
long legs wrapped around his waist.
Mesmerized, he stared as she sat on the couch, as slender
delicate fingers wiped a strand of dark wavy curls from her face
and tucked it neatly behind her ear. Doe-shaped light brown
eyes, almost sun kissed, but not quite, watched him perceptively
with a hint of suspicion.
Leaning back in his chair, Xander stretched his long legs
out in front of him and crossed them at the ankle, folding his
arms over his chest. He met her stare.
One thing was clear, she made him horny on so many levels
it was impossible to count. He couldn't wait to get her naked,
bury his cock in her cunt, and fuck them both into oblivion.
"Are you going to sit there ogling me all night, or are
we going to talk?"
A lazy grin spread over his lips. He leaned forward,
propping a thigh over his leg, making the bulge in his pants
more pronounced. He saw her eyes widen in awe, before she
shifted her attention back to his face, catching him smirking
"I don't want to just ogle you. We both know
that, sugar. I want to get you naked, and you want me naked as
* * * *
"I had a dream once. We did—everything." She blushed.
"Lucky me." He stood up and joined her on the bed
covering her body with his own. "Tell me about this dream you
had." His fingers fluttered down her sides. His lips trailed
hot, moist, kisses along her neck and shoulders. Pausing, he
nibbled at the sensitive skin at the base of her throat.
Tenderly, he caressed the area with his tongue, licking,
His lips hummed over her flesh when he spoke. "Was I
naked?" Lana giggled. Xander arched a brow. "Is that a yes?"
He kissed her again and again moving from her lips, down
her throat, to the valley of her breast where he stopped and
concentrated his attention. "I take it you were naked too?" He
looked up at her. "That is a question, darling."
"I was naked."
"Good, we're making progress in this dream you're
supposed to be telling me about. Put your hands on me. I want to
feel you touch me." He waited until she placed her hands on his
back. "Caress me. Run your fingers along my back, arms, and
butt. Feel me." Again, he waited for her to do as he requested.
"Mmm, that feels nice."
Lana gasped when he slide his hand down between her legs
and touched between her thighs.
Xander held her stare as he slowly slide his fingers
between the moist folds parting the plump labia. With care, he
eased a finger deep, pressing into her heated passage until he
felt her tense and tighten around his finger. Pausing, he kept
his finger pressed into her, but didn't move. He stroked his
tongue downward, tongued her navel, and then licked his tongue
slowly over her belly before stopping to nibble at the inside of
her thigh.
"What exactly did everything entail? I'm curious."
She opened her mouth to respond, but instead she cried
out softly when he withdrew his finger, and then thrust back
inside her vagina.
The tempo of his finger was quick rhythmic thrusts—in and
out—delving, plunging. Lana moaned arching into his hand. Xander
thrust another finger deep inside her and started finger
fucking, driving inside the tunnel, repeatedly, creating wicked
sensations to ripple through Lana like an undercurrent of heat.
"Xander!" She cried out, whimpering. Her fingers
desperately clutched his buttocks. "Please." She moaned rising
against him, rotating her hips against his hand. She matched his
strokes, thrusting her pussy into his hand, grounding against
him demandingly. "Now, Xander!"
"Patience, love."
She spoke. The voice was hers, but she couldn't believe
what she was saying. "Fuck me. Now."
Xander rose looking at her with a wolfish grin. "If there
is one thing I have learned about fucking, it's anticipation
heightens the pleasure. Move your bottom forward. Ah, that's it.
Tell me something, in your dream did I put my tongue inside your
Her screams of pleasure echoed through the room when he
dipped his head low and suckled her clit between his lips.
Xander held her bottom between his hands to hold her still when
she began wiggling uncontrollably.
Tasting, licking, feasting, he consumed her with a hunger
like a man long starved of the very essence he needed to
No crevice was denied his touch. His quick wet tongue
rotated between working over her pussy and licking along the
sensitive pucker of skin between her cunt and anus. He teased
her there, and then slid his tongue along the crevice of her
butt until he reached the wrinkled hole. Without hesitating,
giving little consideration to the untried passage, he delved
his tongue inside her ass and started reaming her with quick
licks of his tongue.
"Sweet Jesus!" Lana almost came off the bed.

Question for those with PCOS
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Okay, you've been warned... Question for those w/a diagnosis of PCOS:
Any of you have constant bleeding right after surgery? My doc put me on bcp a few months before surgery & all was great until I read that I needed to stop all bcp prior to surgery. I started bleeding the day before my surgery & haven't stopped yet, and it's been just over 3 months. While this may sound unpleasant, my record is 8 months & 2 weeks straight & we're not going into that. It was NOT a good time!
I spoke w/my 'lady doctor' about the issue, and she said that it's not uncommon for such things to happen after bariatric surgery, as w/the rapid fat loss, the hormone levels go kinda screwy. I also finally got a diagnosis of PCOS as well; have literally every symptom in the book for it, but my last few docs wouldn't even consider it as a diagnosis, and simply said I was "just fat" and loose weight or they couldn't help me.
But, I'm curious, for those of you in similar situations, did your hormones ever even out? How long did it take? I mean, I'm not hemorrhaging right now or anything, but still, it's an annoyance I'd rather do without! My doc says there's not much that can be done for it until the hormone levels "level themselves out," but she did give me monthly chewable bcp, as she knows we have issues w/absorbing pills. Did anyone find something that worked for them?

I have pcos and bleed from the day after my surgery til about 4 in a half months out then i would bleed about onfe a week for two days for a month im on the bc shot and hadnt had a period for about five years before my surgery. It could be from the blood thinners they give you in the hospital. Thats what my gyn. Said. Good luck
|View More Posts Ignore
Ah, I'm between 3 & 4 mos out. I've been considering switching to the shots, but honestly, I just want it to stop! It was being regulated decently w/the pills, but I went off them like a day or 2 before surgery (I misread the instructions about stopping them, oops!) and it's been like this since then...

I have PCOS hut just had surgery. I havent started bleeding yet but I'm glad I read this so I dont get worried when it happens.
|View More Posts Ignore
Yikes! I have PCOS too and hadn't heard about this yet. I do remember when I first started taking BCPs after not having my period for several years and the heavy bleeding continued for weeks as my utuerus was cleaning out all the lining that had been built up over all that time. Whenever I stop taking my BCPs my period just stops happening again though - Geex I hope I don't bleed for MONTHS after my surgery!! How miserable! :(

The Department of Near Eastern Languages, later to become the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, was established in 1959 by Wolf Leslau.
The professors of Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, who had until then resided in other departments, now joined it. This new department was the first step in fulfilling Gustave von Grunebaum¹s farsighted agenda to provide a solid foundation at UCLA for Near Eastern Studies, present and past, particularly for those related to Islam. In subsequent years the department curriculum grew to include courses in the Turkic languages of Central Asia, ancient and modern; courses in the languages of the Ancient Near East, Sumerian, Akkadian, Biblical Hebrew and Egyptian; and finally, courses in the other languages in which the Armenian churches were involved.
This broad coverage of the languages, many in both their written and spoken forms, was accompanied by the development of courses in the associated literatures and cultures. In recent years, with university and outside support, members of the department have been applying the digital technology to create innovative research and instructional materials that the founders of the department could never have dreamed of. You will find the links in our web-site site to the Hebrew Workbook, the Turkish Tutor, the Cuneiform Digital Library, and the UCLA Encyclopedia of Egyptology--all examples of NELC faculty projects. Please explore them.

Serious Materials: Green Construction Products
From Dean Dowd on July 23, 2009 in Green Remodeling
Heres a company thats serious about helping you save energy and improve comfort. Serious Materials develops and manufactures sustainable green building materials that reduce the impact of the built environment on the climate. According to Serious Materials, The built environment is responsible for 52% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide—which compares to only 9% for cars and light trucks.
Some examples of their energy conserving products include:
- Serious Windows high-performance insulated windows and glass that can reduce heating and cooling energy costs and emissions up to 40%.
- QuietRock soundproof drywall. The company claims that a single sheet of QuietRock is equivalent, acoustically, to eight sheets of standard drywall.
- EcoRock, a green alternative to standard gypsum drywall. Its made using 80% post-industrial recycled waste. Its also said to outperform other mold resistant drywall by 50%.
Serious Materials takes a strong stand on educating consumers and theres extensive focus on the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) on the companys website. Educational material on their website talks about the large opportunity for saving energy and taxpayer dollars that has been created by the ARRA for your community. For the ARRA to be successful, we need to interpret what has actually been passed and what funds are available. And you can link to a video clip of President Obama commending Serious Materials for its efforts.
Serious Materials has as its goal to save one billion tons of greenhouse emissions per year. Considering that the world today produces over 30 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year, this is a serious commitment for a company to make. Its no wonder, then, that there is such a strong tie-in to government, educating the public, and all the focus on various green awards, labels, and technologies. Serious Materials approach might seem overwhelming to the consumer who is simply shopping for green building materials. But it does make a strong impression.
To bring the larger company goals down to whats relevant for you and your home, a visit to the photo gallery gives you examples of Serious Windows in a variety of styles.
There are no prices or shopping carts on this company website, so purchasing their products directly does not seem to be a consumer option at this point. You can learn more by submitting an e-form describing your product interest and asking questions, and youre encouraged to do so if youd like to be contacted by the company.

It depends on the store. Target and Albertsons will not take coupons that display another store's logo, even if it is a manufacturer coupon. Stores like Walmart, Fred Meyer and Safeway (click on the store name for the Coupon Policy) will accept manufacturer Catalina coupons that may display another store's logo as long as it matches up exactly with an item they carry that you are buying. This does not include drugstore reward printouts, as they are store, not manufacturer, coupons. Also, Catalina coupons may be refused if they state they are ONLY redeemable at a certain store.

31 thoughts on "Extreme Couponing Tip: Who Accepts Competitors' Catalinas?"
Pizzaz, that was so true to the T! Some stores make try to make you feel bad that your saving money. A lot of them are untrained or do not care enough to go by the policy. Atleast i am not the only one going through those problems lol
LOL…They have no idea what 'customer service' is all about! 🙂
Target does take Competitors coupon even if the show the name of that competitor. It's works at my target in zip 20147
Wal-Mart is the worst. I have had a customer service person say coupons were like stealing and people should not coupon. I was so taken back by her as she was screaming at me at the front of the store. We had scanned coupons and the computer quit working. It happens but she did not want to hear any of it. She kept saying over and over "If the coupon is over the product then its stealing." I was so freaked out that I would not go back to that store and even stopped checkout and walked right out the store.
Shoppers that live in the Northeast and have Price Chopper can use ANY competitor coupons, not just Catalinas. I have done it several times and have never been hassled about it. That was a great find and proof that it pays to read the store's coupon policy. I never would have known otherwise.
Sorry for the bad experience. You must have been shopping at the Walmart in Queensbury, NY. I refuse to go in there any longer because the cashiers are so rude to people. There's another one a few miles away that I prefer. The cashiers are friendly and will actually have a conversation with you.
I didn't know this! I have questioned about it. I have a lot of great coupons from all of those places. Now I know I can use them else where. Thanx KCL!
In Oregon, Albertsons will except competitor Catalina. I was told that as long as the Catalina does not say "only at ______" then it should be able to be used at any store that excepts manufacture coupons.
I used coupons that Kroger had sent me at Albertson's and the snotty little cashier girl made the biggest deal out of it, they said manufacturer at the top. I just assumed she didn't know how to read OR deal with customers. If you coupon in Euless, Texas, check out the Albertson's on Main and ask for Chad Ellis, he's the store director and has heard way too many of my complaints to not accept pretty much any coupon.
I usually do not have the best luck using catalinas anywhere else except from where they printed from.
If you're in the midwest, Meijer will take catalina q's & oyno q's from Kroger and vice versa. Meijer will also take oyno q's from Wags. ( Although you will usually get a frown & the silent treatment from the cashier )
Hi, Roci! Long time no chat! Anyway, I have tried this at multiple stores in my area and they will not accept them. I've tried self-check and cashiers with no luck. I'm glad it works for you. My Meijer also declines the use of stacked Target and MQs. Booooo.
Hiya! Sorry it doesn't work for you! On the flip side my Meijer will not take Target store q's period. Isn't it funny how there are so many differences in the way individual stores take q's even though there is a corporate q policy? That's okay w/ me though. I'll work with in the guidelines of each store.
Take care & Happy q'ing!
My Meijer will not accept Target coupons either.
Pizzaz- Good morning. You look lovely today. Here are my coupons.
Cashier- We don't take these.
Pizzaz- May I please ask why you won't accept them?
Cashier- These say Kroger on them and this is Walmart!
Pizzaz- Yes, I know this is Walmart. I could tell from the scattered shopping carts blocking all the best parking spaces and the associates outside on break sitting around smoking. Nevertheless, these Catalina coupons are also manufacturer coupons and can be used here unless they say 'Redeemable ONLY at Kroger'.
Cashier- "Hey, Cashier #2, These are no good here, right?"
Cashier # 2- "No! If they say Kroger you gotta go to Kroger. This ain't Kroger. This is Walmart!"
Pizzaz- Clearly, this certainly is Walmart. However, please notice here what it says in the Walmart Coupon Policy.
Customer- OMG! Isn't there another line open?! How long is this going to take?
Pizzaz- I'm sorry miss. I understand your frustration. Hopefully, this won't take long. I notice that you must be menstruating from your mood and from all of the feminine products in your cart. To thank you for your patience, please accept these coupons that will make most of them free.
Customer- Whatever…okay…thank you.
Pizzaz- Now, please note that the policy clearly states that Walmart will accept manufacturer Catalina coupons that may display another store's logo as long as it matches up exactly with an item.
Cashier- Wait! Let me call the Customer Service Manager.
Customer Service Manager- What seems to be the problem?
Cashier- This customer is trying to use a bad coupon.
Customer Service Manager- (Thinks to himself….."What should I do? I'm getting off in 10 minutes. Why now? This customer comes in here all the time and knows all about coupons. Yet, everyone is staring at me to see how I handle this. I do make $0.50 more an hour than they do. I need to show my authority!) Okay, I will let you use the coupons this time only!
Cashier- (Rolls eyes)
Pizzaz- Thank you. Free Dentyne gum for Pizzaz! WooHoo!!! 🙂
OMG!! Was this script picked up? I can SO see this mini-movie played out word for word in my mind :). HILARIOUS!!!!!
We can call it 'Pizzazezz Great Adventure'…LOL 😉
I sooo love this! Isn't this how we get treated? haha. I've heard every reason in the book from why stores supposedly don't accept a certain coupon. They all act like they can't take it or will "let it slide" just this once. If only these people were ACTUALLY trained on what they accept! When I know your coupon policy better than you, they MAY be a problem… 🙂 Thanks for the continuous smiles!
Ha! Ha! What we go thru for a free pack of gum!…LOL 🙂
My husband and I loved this! It's soooo true. lolololol
Thanks Sunny! You always brighten my day! 🙂
hahahaha, "… Yes, I know this is Walmart. I could tell from the scattered shopping
carts blocking all the best parking spaces and the associates outside
on break sitting around smoking…"
What makes that statement funny is that we have all seen it and know how true it is!..Ha! ha! 🙂
Wow…almost sounds like my trip to Walmart today in verbatem…along with the "We changed our coupon policy 2 days ago and now must scan each item that has a coupon and then it's corresponding coupon right after it and so on and so forth…" Then the cashier takes a min or two on each coupon (even if it was the exact same item & coupon she just scanned) to read each and ever word….and complained more and more with everyone coupon that "these stupid coupons make things so complicated now and are more of a hassle than they're worth….and someone should sue the coupon manufacturers for sending out coupons to anyone…blah blah blah…" Needless to say after an hour long checkout that should have taken maybe 10 – 15 minutes I was ready to scream "Calgon Take Me Away!!!" lol
I never run out of material with Walmart! 🙂
I once saw an article about "reasons to always read comments on KCL," but they left one out: Pizzazezz comments! You should have a blog…
Thanks for the compliment! 🙂
lololol that was amazing and incredibly accurate. Fortunately at my Walmart they're really, really coupon friendly and I barely ever have a problem. My biggest problem is at Dollar Tree or Kroger, sooo many people who know nothing about coupons and teen cashiers who don't give a crap.
Don't get me started on teen cashiers!…LOL 🙂
Pizzaz, thank you for that Everyday conversation, most of us couponers have at Walmart. You made my Monday by making me laugh. 🙂
Monday is a good day for laughing!…LOL 🙂

A Tuesday evening in Boise is not usually a time for big concert turn outs for club acts passing through town, so it was not much of a surprise that The Shredder was a little thin on patronage last night. However, it was no surprise that the Seattle's Witchburn, who headlined the event, slayed all in attendance with an inspired and incredible performance. The tragedy of the night was how few Boiseans were there to witness the magic.
Local talent, Trigger Itch, and Ripchain kicked off the evening's festivities. As the show started before its announced 8pm scheduled time, I missed Trigger Itch. Ripchain fired it up for a tight six-song set of its riff driven thrash and roll, which included songs like "Locust", "River of Woe" and "Cyber F*@ked".
Next up, Bellingham, Washington-based trio Wild Throne, threw down a raucous, distortion infused set. Frontman and guitarist Josh Holland was energetic and ferocious on stage, bringing life to the band's progressive rock edge. Their sound reminds me of Queens of the Stone Age meets Mastodon mixed with various other nuances.
Portland's Ape Machine hit the stage next with a solid dose of straight forward classic heavy rock. I was immediately struck with the band's vintage vibe, from the sound right down to the instruments played. Bassist Brian True was rocking an old school Rickenbacker bass, and guitarist Ian Watts was wielding a classic Les Paul sunburst. This offered hope for good music to come, and the band did not disappoint. Drummer Damon De La Paz was crushing behind the kit, and Watts' onstage energy was contagious. Frontman Caleb Heinze performed well too, but he did not express the same enthusiasm during his performance as I would have expected from the things I'd heard about him: Off night with a small crowd perhaps.
Finally, Witchburn took the stage and everyone at The Shredder packed around the little stage. The quartet, comprised of vocalist Jamie Nova, bassist Jacy Peckham, drummer Dana Sims, and guitarist/violinist Mischa Kianne, found their collective groove immediately, and the crowd responded enthusiastically. They opened the set with their current single, "Der Hexenhammer" which is taken from their sophomore album, Bathed in Blood. Newcomers to the band's sound had to be impressed by Nova's impassioned rasp and roll vocal attack. Her unique sound and intonation set her apart and bring each song to vivid life. Kianne is an amazingly talent guitarist, and her performance was intense, feral and hyper-focused. The quartet played six songs in all off Bathed in Blood, including "Warning to the Weak", "One and the Same", "(Ghosts Walking) Into a Black Sunrise", "Evolve", and the melodic groove of "Shuffle Up and Deal". The rhythmic battery of Peckham and Sims was locked in the pocket, with Peckham swinging his dreads and bringing the low end rumble. Sims kept it lively, sharp and playful behind the kit with a nice swing to his style.
Witchburn tuned up three tracks from their stunning debut release, This is How We Slay Our Demons. They executed "Call to Arms", "The Hunted" and "Bleed the Stone" to well-practiced perfection. The latter marked the show closer, but not before they slipped in a little cover action with some classic Dio era Rainbow.
Noticeably missing from the set were fan favorites, "Army of Voices" and "Stand Up and Be Counted", but with only an hour long set and a new album to promote, one cannot complain. In all it was a fantastic performance for one of heavy metal's best yet most unrecognized bands. Hopefully this will change with the release of Bathed in Blood along with a full slate of summer touring.

New Readers
New here? Start on Page 1 or visit the Archives of previous strips to get familiar with Oh Joy Sex Toy! Oooor, browse by category: Sex Education, Toy Reviews, Guest Strips, and Our Personal Favorite Strips.
What Is This?
Oh Joy Sex Toy (OJST) is a weekly comic that debuted April 2013 and updates every Tuesday to bring you reviews of everything that relates to sex, sexuality and the sex industry. From toys to workshops to birth control and much more, no stone will be left unturned, no vibrator left unused, no nipple left unpinched. With the aid of guest reviewers, this comic will cover products for ALL the different anatomies people posses, from vulvas to penises and beyond. OJST strives to be relevant to all different genders, body types, and sexualities.
The first year's worth of comics have been collected into a 268 page full color book, which you can get here!
As explained on OJST's debut strip, the Masturbateers are fictional, gender-neutral characters who portray the use of the sex toys that Erika and Matthew are reviewing. Their pronouns as individuals are "They, Them and Their" and they refer to their genitalia by their medical, anatomical names. Though OJST uses the medical names and common slang of genitals in the comic, we respect and support that real life people do not all refer to their own genitalia with this terminology. The Masturbateers' sexuality is: Horny.
Who's Responsible?
OJST is the full-time job of Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan.
Erika Moen is the co-writer and artist behind the creation of the strips. She has been doing webcomics since she was 15 years old and has been a full-time, professional cartoonist and comic book creator at Periscope Studio in Portland, OR since she was 25. She is a cisgender, white, able-bodied, queer lady who was born June 25th, 1983 and has been happily married to Matthew Nolan since October 2008.
Her work has been published by Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, Villard, BOOM! Studios, Penny Arcade and Scholastic, among others.
More of her work can be found at ErikaMoen.com and her previous comic series are available at DAR! and Bucko.
Matthew Nolan is a devastatingly handsome half-French, half-Australian man raised in England who has lived in the US since 2008 with his wife, Erika. He co-writes, edits, and colors the OJST strips, manages all the business things related to making the comic profitable, created and maintains the website, and is the contact person for all your contacting needs. He entrusts Erika to write his bios for him, sight unseen, because he trusts her to be more professional than to wax poetic about his amazing accent and that he is a silver fox with salt and pepper hair.
Thank you to Amy T. Falcone for coming up with the title, Robert Khoo for encouraging Erika to make this her next project, Katie Lane for all her legal advice, and to Cory Casoni for all his advice and recommendations as Matt set up the site. You guys are the best.
OJST is proud to be affiliated with a variety of high quality retailers and pornographers, the list of them can be found here.
This association does not, however, cloud the honesty of Erika's and Matthew's reviews. All of their opinions are genuine and they will report on any potential negatives of their products if it is warranted.
OJST runs solely on the financial support generated through company affiliations, advertising, merchandise, and the individual support of their readers. If you would like to support their work so they continue to keep creating these comics full-time, please consider becoming their patron on Patreon.

It was a year ago that my husband, five year old (at the time) and I ventured to the magical world of Disney and shared the laughs and tears that come with a full week of Disney World. While it truly is one of my favorite places to visit, the reality is I can't always afford to go every year. That's why, when a piece of Mickey magic comes my way in Indianapolis, I pounce on the opportunity.
Indy will be home to a couple of Disney shows in the next few months. First up is Mickey's Magic Show at Conseco Fieldhouse with a couple of shows on November 7th. There, kids of all ages will get to witness some of their favorite characters turn rags to riches (Cinderella) and levitate (Hmmmm - will Jasmine take a magic carpet ride?). Illusionist Brad Ross will help. I saw a great preview in a Staten Island pub. that has me all excited about the performance here. Tickets: $15-$60.
If you miss that, don't worry Disney on Ice is coming to town in January for Toy Story 3. Rumor has it that Groovy Barbie's honey Ken might make an appearance with some other hotties.
And if you are in the market for that trip down south - check out Disney Moms for some great advice and ways to save money for the whole family. You can actually ask a specific question and a real mom or dad will answer it for you. We saved big bucks and loved every minute.

Freshman Ben Fultz was 3-for-3 with a walk and run scored
April 2, 2011
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - For the second-straight game a costly error spelled doom for East Carolina (19-7, 2-3 C-USA) as UAB (16-10, 4-1) claimed the Conference USA series with a 5-3 win Saturday afternoon at Young Memorial Field.
Just like Friday night, both teams offenses struggled in the first two frames as each left a runner on base, but in the bottom of the third, UAB pushed across four runs on three hits and used a Pirate error for a 4-0 advantage. Jacob German singled to center to lead off the third then took third on Ryan Nance's double to right center. After Nick Crawford walked to load the bases, Keith DePew sent a shot to Corey Thompson at third, who couldn't handle the grounder scoring both German and Nance for an early 2-0 lead.
The inning continued when Crawford and DePew executed a double steal to move into scoring position before Crawford crossed home on one of three Mike Wright wild pitches. Patrick Palmeiro capped the scoring at 4-0 with a single through the left side plating DePew in the bottom of the third.
Ryan (4-3) notched the win after allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits with four strikeouts and three walks in five innings of work. Ben Bullard pitched three innings of relief surrendering one runs on three hits and Ryan Nance picked up his seventh save of the year working a perfect ninth with a punch out.
M. Wright (4-1) took the loss giving up five runs (three earned) on five hits in six innings, while Shawn Armstrong (walk) and Jake Harris (3 Ks, hit) tossed scoreless frames.
ECU finally scored in the fifth cutting the lead to three, 4-1. Chris Gosik was hit by a Woolley pitch to start the stanza and took second on a wild pitch. Homan moved him to third on a ground out and Mike Ussery drove in his seventh run of the season on another ground out to second.
UAB got the run back when DePew scored on a wild pitch pushing the Blazers lead back to four, 5-1. With two outs, DePew struck out but reached on a wild pitch to keep the inning alive. Jamal Austin followed with a single through the right side and Palmeiro reached on a Thompson throwing error loading the bases. The second wild pitch of the frame scored DePew.
The Pirates scored a run in the sixth, 5-2, when Jack Reinheimer hit into a double play that scored Zach Wright, who reached on a strikeout passed ball. Ben Fultz moved him to this on a single to right setting up ECU's second run of the game.
In the eighth, ECU scratched across another run reducing UAB's lead to two, 5-3. Fultz singled to left center with one out, moved to second on Reinheimer's walk and took third on a wild pitch before Philip Clark's pinch hit ground out scored the Pirates' final run of the contest.
Offensively the Pirates out hit the Blazers 7-6, but stranded eight runners on the afternoon. The telling stat of the game for ECU was their one through four hitters were a combined 1-for-17, while the five through nine guys were 6-for-17. UAB's hurlers induced 10 ground outs, 11 fly outs and four first pitch outs.
ECU will look to salvage a game in the series when the two teams meet Sunday afternoon for the third and final game of the series with a 2 p.m. (EST) first pitch scheduled. UAB will send Michael Busby (0-1, 4.50 ERA) to the hill while ECU will counter with either Austin Chrismon (0-0, 1.35 ERA), Brad Mincey (4-1, 0.36 ERA) or Zach Woods (1-2, 3.98).

Can You Keep Stocks if You File Bankruptcy?
Original post by Don Rafner of Demand Media
For many people, particularly during these trying economic times, their debt has grown so much out of their control that the only way out of the financial troubles is to file for bankruptcy protection. For those filing for bankruptcy who also own stocks, it's important to know how filing will affect your equity holdings. Whether you get to keep the stocks or not depends on the type of bankruptcy protection that you seek.
Two Types of Bankruptcy Protection
Whether you get to keep your stocks depends largely upon which type of bankruptcy protection for which you file. There are two choices for consumers: You can file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, in which you'll pay back your debt with an interest-free repayment plan, or Chapter 7, in which your assets are liquidized to pay off all or part of your debt.
Chapter 7
Under Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, a trustee will place a dollar amount on your assets and then divide the funds among your creditors. This means that you can lose your stocks -- along with other assets such as your house and cars --- to eliminate your debt. Whether this approach is taken depends upon the size of the debt. You might not need to sell off all of your assets to pay down your entire debt. In such a case, you could keep some of your assets, including your stocks.
Chapter 13
Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy bankruptcy protection, a trustee will create an interest-free repayment plan that allows you to pay off your creditors at a rate you can afford. Under this type of bankruptcy, you might be able to keep such assets as your home, cars and stocks. It depends upon whether you have enough funds to remain current on your repayment plan. You may have to sell off some of your assets, including your stocks, if you can no longer afford your repayment plan payments.
A Trade-Off
Declaring bankruptcy is a complex decision. You can eliminate your debt, but you could lose many of your assets, including any stocks that you own. You'll also take a hit to your credit score. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing remains on your credit report for 10 years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy remains on your report for seven.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Announced
Screenshots were leaked. People "in the know" said it would happen. Heck, even HTC spoiled the surprise ahead of Microsoft's announcement. But we now finally have official confirmation from Microsoft itself — WinMo 6.5 does exist, and is on its way.
The new OS should be pre-installed on phones coming out in Q4 2009; sadly, it sounds as though no existing WinMo devices will be "officially" upgradeable. Not sure why though.
What's new about Windows Mobile 6.5?
Here's what:
- Focus on Touch Friendliness with new Honeycomb Design
- New version of Internet Explorer which adds zoom slider and frequently-used commands
- New redesigned menus that can be used stylus-free
- Fingerable contacts and home screens
It may not seem like a lot of feature changes, but they are important changes nonetheless. Many frustrations with WinMo in general may quite possibly be eliminated with this new version, but we'll wait until we get some hands-on time with the OS to actually judge it.
Honestly, it's only a short matter of time before we start seeing unofficial upgrades available — at least in our opinion anyway.
Sound off! Do you like the new features and styles? I, for one, think the honeycomb design makes a lot of sense.

With so much to see and experience, our 'show of shows' format makes for an exciting walk through the aisles."
FCSI-The Americas "Ask the Experts" Consultations — The IHMRS has partnered with Foodservice Consultants Society International (FCSI) – The Americas to offer free 30-minute consultations with attending foodservice professionals. A panel of FCSI consultants will be on hand to discuss personalized solutions for front-of-the-house, back-of-the-house and management advisory issues.

The pre-show conference also will feature a keynote luncheon with Anthony Melchiorri of the Travel Channel's Hotel Impossible.

Education continues on Nov. 11-12, with programs addressing ADA compliance, loss prevention, designing for the guest experience, guest satisfaction trends, and increasing top-line revenues.
Presenting an exhibit floor of 250 carefully edited suppliers of furniture, lighting, wall coverings, fabric, seating, accessories, artwork, carpet and flooring, materials, bath and spa, and tabletop, Boutique Design New York (BDNY) will once again co-locate with the IHMRS.
