Day Trip to Chicago & WSBT-TV SegmentWednesday, January 9th, 2008
Yesterday I had to make a day trip over to Chicago to…..(drum roll please!) shoot some promotions for KENMORE! Yup, I am being added to their team of experts to talk about cleaning & organizing for their Make It Simple team! I will be sure to post links to the promotions and my monthly articles with the team, sharing my advice on cleaning & caring for your appliances.
This was truly a dream come true job and I will be working with Kenmore for the next six months (and hopefully longer, if all goes well!) I wish I could have had my camera yesterday to take pictures of that day, but I didn't want to be a complete dork! It went really well, but I didn't get home until close to midnight. To say I am tired today would be putting it mildly. I had to stop at Starbucks this morning and cash in on one of my Christmas gift certificates. This is the first time I have ever asked for a triple shot of espresso in my cup. That was a mistake…I fear I never will go back to regular caffeine again!
I still can't believe that this opportunity landed in my lap and I was a little choked up when I got home last night. All of the fuss over hair and wardrobe and feeling like a star for a day…it was just a dream come true. I can't wait to tell my kids someday how cool I felt that day!
My segment on, "Making Your Own Bread" also aired on WSBT yesterday. I shared some tips for saving money on making your bread at home. I share the functions to look for on a machine and tips for saving on making your own bread. This goes along with my post on how to use your bread machine and how to store your ingredients.
Sound Off: Do you make your own bread? How do you streamline the bread-making process?
Ask the Frugal Momma: How Do I Work From Home?Thursday, January 3rd, 2008
Well, thankfully our phone & internet has been restored. I discovered I have quite a dependency on it and spending an entire evening over at a supermarket in the yucky weather was not ideal.
Since the CBS Early Show aired our segment, I have been really bogged down with emails and, ironically, many of them are scammers trying to scam me out of some more of my money. Right now we are not interested in any work-at-home opportunities for ourselves personally, but thank you so much for thinking of us.
For those who are legitimately trying to find work at home opportunities, please know that my sympathies are with each of you. It is really hard to find work-at-home employment and it is particularly difficult to carve your own niche into the work-at-home world.
Direct sales jobs abound and can be very fruitful for people who are really dedicated and who work hard. Sitting on a couch watching the money roll in will probably not be happening in your near future, but hard work can help you achieve your work-at-home goals.
Things that can be helpful when starting out-
1. Look at the cost investment- Always make sure that you understand how much it is going to cost to get started. Some companies, like Avon, only have a very small amount that you need to pay to start your business upfront. Other companies can require you to spend $500 or more to get started. Be sure you understand how hard you are going to have to work to recoup your investment and be very careful! If you want to dabble in working at home or are unsure if you are disciplined enough to do something like this, please don't throw in a huge investment to make that discovery. It breaks my heart when people tell me they are having a difficult time financially and then they decide to work at home with a $2K start-up fee and then weeks later say they made the wrong choice.
2. Know your strengths- If you are very shy and have a hard time talking to people, direct sales jobs can be difficult to do. I tried direct sales and discovered that I just wasn't good at it. I don't want to "bother" people so it was hard for me to do a job where I had to call and ask if people wanted to place orders, emailing them about parties, asking them if they wanted to buy stuff, handing out catalogs, etc… It wasn't for me! BUT, you might have a way with words and have just the right personality for this kind of job.
If you aren't sure what your strengths are, ask your friends and family. "You know me best. Do you think I would be good at a _____." They should be able to help you in making your decision too!
3. Go to the library- The library is a wealth of FREE information for someone who is looking into working from home. It is an easy way to explore different career paths without making an investment. Check out books on how to start a simple website, how to sell items on Ebay, or find information on great work-at-home careers.
4. Network- Network with anyone and everyone that you can. Join community groups or take advantage of the great communities that you are already part of to begin the networking process. Bater your services with other work-at-home moms, share resources for great deals, and just vent to one another about your work-at-home difficulties.
5. Get a Cheap Website- I asked my husband about this one and he said, "You are trying to put me out of business!" As a freelance web designer, he is going out on a limb to share this information so leave us some comment love!
He suggested Microsoft Office which is FREE! They also have package deals with more features for $19.95 and up. If you are just experimenting and trying to get started, this would be a nice option to explore.
6. Make Money- The bottom line is that there are legitimate opportunities out there, but they are usually names of companies that you know and recognize. The only other option is to go out on your own and start your own little adventure. If you don't have the resources or knowledge to do something new like this, check into community courses on starting a small business or starting a website. Even some libraries offer basic courses in computer skills to get you started.
I personally started this website and made below the poverty level for almost two years. Some months we were extremely excited when we brought in even $80 after I worked for 20-25 hours a week on the website. I do not have a company of people to help me and it has made the money growth a lot slower for me…BUT….I am staying home with my children and I am my own boss. It isn't a ton of money, but it is a modest income that helps when you are just trying to make ends meet. I guess what I am trying to convey is that it is important to be realistic. Growth takes time and devotion. If you aren't devoted to your business/craft/adventure then you probably will end up giving up on it before you can see the numbers begin to turn in your favor.
7. Get Advertisers- I also wanted to address the question about advertisements. There are tons of places you can go through for making money through advertisements. You can do sites like:
Google AdWords
Pay Per Post
BlogHer Ads
I am sure there are many other programs, but these are some of the basic ones that are easy for new sites/blogs to use. You can also become affiliated with companies and make money from referral programs. For example, you can sign up with a company like Commission Junction and make money if you refer people to sites/services.
As you develop more of an audience, you will find that new avenues of revenue opportunities are available. Sites that develop a strong audience can begin going out on their own and creating their own advertising. I did this in the beginning and I was able to pocket all of the money from the advertising, but I had a hard time keeping up with the accounts. I used PayPal for making payments to me, but I had to send out the reminder letters, pull the accounts when they were expired, send invoices, and we might have had to even design the advertisements. It was a lot of work! You have to be more disciplined to keep up with something like this on your own, but you also can keep all of the money you earn!
Other avenues that could open up are advertising networks that are only available to the bigger sites. One network we joined required a monthly minimum of 250K page views each month. That was the minimum. You can imagine how long it took us to get to that point, but we got a bigger piece of the pie.
When you start looking into this territory you need to start exploring how your money is generated and what income you can expect. Do you get money just if people view the advertisements or is your money made only through people clicking on the advertisements? How big are the advertisements? How many will you have to place on the site? Do you get to help pick what appears on your site? Will the advertisements fit with your audience? Will ADULT CONTENT be shown? (This is particularly important if you are trying to run a family-friendly site)
I hope that my answers do not scare anyone off, but I did want to share as much as I could on this topic since I got some really heartbreaking emails. I am so sorry to the families who have lost money because they have been scammed. There is nothing wors
e than being scammed especially when you are in a vulnerable financial state.
Please let me know if you have more questions by leaving me a comment! The comments keep me motivated and also help me understand what more I can share with you all.

Free Sweet Tea in JanuaryTuesday, January 1st, 2008
A good Southern sweet tea is hard to come by out here in the Midwest and very few places in our area serve or offer it. The closest we can get is usually that nasty Lipton tea in the soda machines. Blech! Don't you folks in the South feel so sorry for us? (*sniff, sniff*)
Our local McDonald's though has now added sweet tea to their menu and every Tuesday, in the month of January, you can swing by to pick up a free sweet tea. No purchase necessary!
After that, a 32 ounce sweet tea will be just $.99, making that a super sweet bargain for this frugal momma! Here's hoping it is an improvement that rivals their excellent coffee improvements they have made!
*Note: Check to see if your McDonald's is offering the same campaign. I know all Michiana locations are offering it in our area.*
Santa SpottingTuesday, December 25th, 2007
We went to a friend's holiday open house and Santa happened to stop by to see the children. As we were too sick to make it over to see our amazing mall Santa (he truly is!), we decided this was a perfect opportunity to get the kid's special visit in with Santa.
Pictured here is how polite our son is… some of the time anyway! He is raising his hand and saying, "Excuse me, Santa! Santa, excuse me! I need to speak with you"
Ethan quickly plops down in Santa's lap and talks his ear off. A last minute change of plans occurrs where his original plan of getting a Monster Truck was now changed and he wanted a Hummer Truck that he could ride in (price tag of $300). He says Santa told him to write it all out and he would see what he could do. Unfortunately, Santa already shopped and Santa did not have $300 in the Santa fund to spend. What can I say? Our Santa is cheap.
Emily is watching Ethan talk with Santa and is really excited to see him. I mean, you can just see it in her face. I know that this is the year that we get that amazing shot of her with Santa. This will not be a repeat of last year. She is going to look so cute on Santa's lap….Oh! We are getting excited now. I hand her over to Santa and all of a sudden…
Santa looks at me and says, "Oh no! There is something wrong with this one" (All pictures can be expanded for real-life detail and trauma we invoked on our child)
Better luck next year, I say! Merry Christmas, everyone!
Cheeseburger in ParadiseSaturday, December 22nd, 2007
Since we have been sick, I have been all about simple cooking and quick dinners. I have had this recipe in my "to be tried" pile for quite some time, and it seemed like the perfect meal for this busy time of year.
Unfortunately, I can't add this one to the Aldi Queen blog. It contains two non-Aldi ingredients- shell pasta (which could be subbed with a rotini or elbow mac from Aldi) and a can of cheese soup (currently not available at our Aldi).
Regardless, this is a quick and easy pantry meal. It is like Hamburger Helper, but definitely has more of a distinct flavor than those flavor pouches that come in a box.
The best part about this dish…only one pan to clean up! That is why skillet dinners get two thumbs up in our house.
Enjoy a stress-free night of cooking!
Cheeseburger Pasta
1 lb ground beef
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can beef broth
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup ketchup
Brown the ground beef. Add all other ingredients and heat to a boil. Cook over medium heat 10 to 15 minutes or until done, stirring often. (Amy's Note: This took a little over fifteen minutes for me, uncovered)
When Do You Have the Talk?Thursday, December 20th, 2007
Wow, I have been reading a sea of blog entries on teenage pregnancy since the whole thing with the Spears family has come out. Ironically, the feel-good movie of the year is, "Juno" which also deals with the issue of teenage pregnancy.
As a parent of children under five, I have not had the big talk yet. I am really curious who out there has had the talk and at what age you discussed this? Was it you and your husband together? Did the conversation stem from a particular circumstance or was it just something you decided to talk about with your child? Did you talk from the heart or did you tackle the discussion with some learning materials?
I guess what I am asking is, what can we as parents do to help prevent our children from being a statistic?
I don't say this to stir up controversy, but only to understand how other parents have dealt with topics such as these!
Good News for Wii ShoppersTuesday, December 18th, 2007
Although I admit the Wii is not necessarily the most frugal purchase, people are definitely on the lookout for them this holiday season. Unfortunately, people are forking over hundreds and hundreds of dollars for their game systems and it makes an expensive system even more expensive than it should be.
GameStop & Nintendo are teaming up to make sure shoppers get their Wii game system and are now offering rain checks on the systems. This means, instead of you standing in line for hours on end only to find out the store has run out of systems, you can take your raincheck and go home to be with your family.
The rain check program—available only through GameStop stores—will "guarantee" that consumers can get a Wii after Christmas. On December 20 and 21, consumers can purchase a Wii rain check ("while supplies last") for the full $249 price. The Wii systems must be picked up by January 29.
Of course, these will not be ready for the holidays, but a promise of a Wii could be all wrapped and tucked under the tree. How great is that?
**Special thanks to my hubby for the tip**
More Great Shopping DealsTuesday, December 18th, 2007
I am trying to post these as I run across them for holiday shopping! I hope these are helping and let me know if you would like me to continue posting them.
This Webkinz Chihuahua is marked down to only $5.95, originally priced at $19.99. I hear it is the latest craze, although I don't know anything about these since my kids aren't old enough yet.
This retro Radio Flyer Rocket was originally $74.99 and the price is now listed at $35.00. Apparently it dipped just a tiny bit below that, but I didn't catch it when it did that. It is still a great deal though.
I am not sure if the orders will be here by Christmas or not, without paying extra to ship it, but some of us are probably already stockpiling for next Christmas (or birthdays!)
Happy holidays everyone and I hope you are scoring all of the best deals for your holiday shopping!

Strategy Maps: Converting Intangible Assets into Tangible Outcomesby Robert S. Kaplan, David P. Norton

More than a decade ago, Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton introduced the Balanced Scorecard, a revolutionary performance measurement system that allowed organizations to quantify intangible assets such as people, information, and customer relationships. Then, in The Strategy-Focused Organization, Kaplan and Norton showed how organizations achieved breakthrough performance with a management system that put the Balanced Scorecard into action.
Now, using their ongoing research with hundreds of Balanced Scorecard adopters across the globe, the authors have created a powerful new tool--the "strategy map"--that enables companies to describe the links between intangible assets and value creation with a clarity and precision never before possible. Kaplan and Norton argue that the most critical aspect of strategy--implementing it in a way that ensures sustained value creation--depends on managing four key internal processes: operations, customer relationships, innovation, and regulatory and social processes. The authors show how companies can use strategy maps to link those processes to desired outcomes; evaluate, measure, and improve the processes most critical to success; and target investments in human, informational, and organizational capital. Providing a visual "aha!" for executives everywhere who can't figure out why their strategy isn't working, Strategy Maps is a blueprint any organization can follow to align processes, people, and information technology for superior performance.

Strategy Maps: Converting Intangible Assets into Tangible Outcomes by Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton reveals how an organization can link performance measures covering the areas of operations, customer relationships, innovation, and regulatory and social processes to its mission and then leverage these `strategy maps' to drive performance improvements. I like this reference because it illustrates how an integrated performance measurement system can be leveraged to drive organizational performance toward desired outcomes. This book is thorough in its discussions and provides the visual aids needed to make the concepts real to the reader. All the Best, Nathan Ives StrategyDriven Principal
If this book were a Hollywood film, it might be titled 'Son of Balanced Scorecard' or even 'Balanced Scorecard III.' This book, however, is no mere spin-off or sequel. In two prior works, 'The Balanced Scorecard' (which you may wish to read before reading this book) and 'The Strategy-Focused Organization', authors Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton introduced the powerful concept of measuring the elusive intangibles that affect organizations. This information-dense book was born when the authors observed that CEOs instinctively draw arrows to explain their goals. This led to a breakthrough realization: 'Objectives should be linked in cause-and-effect relationships.' The graphic display of these relationships is a 'strategy map.' This book breaks new ground by providing a template so executives can be sure that their strategic planning omits nothing. It expands the concepts of 'strategic themes' and 'value-creating processes,' and explains a system for aligning your organization¿s strategy with its intangible assets. However, the real-world examples may be lost on CEOs who are unfamiliar with MBA-style case studies. If you¿re implementing a 'Balanced Scorecard' initiative or planning your firm¿s future, we say this is a blockbuster you don¿t want to miss.
Whether you like Kaplan & Norton's concept of the balanced scorecard or not, we probably can agree that they have had huge adoption of their ideas in many of the biggest firms in the world. Kaplan & Norton's focus on creating easy-to-understand frameworks for implementing strategy is admirable. They have published their ideas in articles and books over they last 10 years. This book - Strategy Maps - is the third book in their campaign for making strategy happen. The first book from 1996 introduced the BALANCED SCORECARD (BSC). A tool that translates an organization's mission and strategy into a comprehensive set of performance measures that provides the framework for a strategic measurement and management system. The performance measures were arranged into four PERSPECTIVES. Viewed horizontally, like in a grid, each perspective represents the set of objectives desired by a particular stakeholder (Financial, Customer, Internal Process/Organization, Learning & Growth/Employees). The perspectives, when taken together, permit a complete view of the strategy and 'tell the story of a strategy' in a clearly understandable framework. In 2001, the second book introduced the STRATEGY-FOCUSED ORGANIZATION that places strategy at the centre of its management processes - not only for measurement purposes. Strategy is now central to the firm's agenda. There are five principles to a Strategy-Focused Organization: Mobilize Change through Executive Leadership; Translate the Strategy to Operational Terms [that is, balanced scorecard and strategy map]; Align the Organization to the Strategy; Make Strategy Everyone's Job; Make Strategy a Continual Process. Finally in 2004, this book expands the concept of the STRATEGY MAP, which is a visual representation of an organization's strategy and the processes and systems necessary to implement that strategy. A strategy map is basically a one-page graphical summary, showing employees how their jobs are linked to the organization's overall objectives. This book adds some new contributions to the concept of strategy maps: TEMPLATES. The main benefit of this book may be the (very) many templates that should stimulate most readers to build their own customised strategy map. Being a relatively experienced balanced scorecard practitioner myself, I certainly enjoyed the inspiration from the templates. Most benefit is derived from the templates that describe the basic components of how value gets created in the internal process perspective as well as the learning and growth perspective. I can highly recommend the strategy map templates reflecting the firm's generic competitive strategy - lowest-cost vs. product leader vs. customer intimacy. STRATEGIC THEMES, which are based on a few selected key value-creating processes. The authors introduce a taxonomy that classifies internal value-creating processes into four clusters that each may have literally hundreds of sub-processes that create value in some way: - operations management (i.e. producing and delivering. Also known as supply chain management) - customer management (or CRM) - innovation of products and processes (such as Product-Lifecycle Management etc.) - regulatory and social: conforming to regulations and societal expectations INTANGIBLE ASSETS FRAMEWORK, which attempts to describe, measure, and align the three intangible assets in the learning and growth perspective to the strategic processes and objectives in the internal perspectives. The three types of intangible assets are: - Human capital: employees' skills, talent, and knowledge. - Organization capital: culture, leadership, employee alignment, teamwork, and knowledge management - Information capital: Databases, information systems, network, and technology infrastructure I have worked in practice with the balanced scorecard since 1998. This book is a natural follow-up to the authors' previous work. I fully acknowledge the critical issues mentioned

"Stayed here twice this summer. Rooms are all large and super quiet. Staff were all friendly and helpful. The lobby is small but that isn't a reflection of the size of their rooms. Highly recommended!!"

"We wanted to stay somewhere close to all the tourist sites but not too close to save money. This was a great spot along an outdoor mall area.

2013 Pulitzer Prize Finalist
New York Times Ten Best Books of 2012
"Riveting…The Patriarch is a book hard to put down." – Christopher Buckley, The New York Times Book Review
In this magisterial new work The Patriarch, the celebrated historian David Nasaw tells the full story of Joseph P. Kennedy, the founder of the twentieth century's most famous political dynasty. Nasaw—the only biographer granted unrestricted access to the Joseph P. Kennedy papers in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library—tracks Kennedy's astonishing passage from East Boston outsider to supreme Washington insider. Kennedy's seemingly limitless ambition drove his career to the pinnacles of success as a banker, World War I shipyard manager, Hollywood studio head, broker, Wall Street operator, New Deal presidential adviser, and founding chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. His astounding fall from grace into ignominy did not come until the years leading up to and following America's entry into the Second World War, when the antiwar position he took as the first Irish American ambassador to London made him the subject of White House ire and popular distaste.
The Patriarch is a story not only of one of the twentieth century's wealthiest and most powerful Americans, but also of the family he raised and the children who completed the journey he had begun. Of the many roles Kennedy held, that of father was most dear to him. The tragedies that befell his family marked his final years with unspeakable suffering.
The Patriarch looks beyond the popularly held portrait of Kennedy to answer the many questions about his life, times, and legacy that have continued to haunt the historical record. Was Joseph P. Kennedy an appeaser and isolationist, an anti-Semite and a Nazi sympathizer, a stock swindler, a bootlegger, and a colleague of mobsters? What was the nature of his relationship with his wife, Rose? Why did he have his daughter Rosemary lobotomized? Why did he oppose the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan, the Korean War, and American assistance to the French in Vietnam? What was his relationship to J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI? Did he push his second son into politics and then buy his elections for him?
In this pioneering biography, Nasaw draws on never-before-published materials from archives on three continents and interviews with Kennedy family members and friends to tell the life story of a man who participated in the major events of his times: the booms and busts, the Depression and the New Deal, two world wars and a cold war, and the birth of the New Frontier. In studying Kennedy's life, we relive with him the history of the American Century.

Edit Article
How to Make Sure Your Yu Gi Oh! Deck Is Balanced
Two Methods:Counting Your CardsDrawing Practice HandsCommunity Q&A
Sure, you have created your deck, but how will it fare in a duel? Here are a couple of ways to see if your deck has a balance of spell, trap, and monster cards.
Method 1
Counting Your Cards
1This is the most direct method, but it involves counting your cards. First, take your deck and place all the monsters, traps and spells in their own piles.
2Count the amount in each pile.
3You should have around 15 monsters, 15 spells, and 10 traps. However, these are just basic guidelines, and the ratios can vary greatly depending on the deck you're playing. For example, Burgesstomas play nearly all traps and Lightsworns play a majority of monsters.
4For further checking, take your monster cards and separate all monsters level 4 and below from the monsters 5 and up.
5Count each of them.
6You want to have less monsters level 5 and up than the level 4 and below monsters. If you can't summon the high-level monsters easily, there should be no more than 3-4 in your deck. There are exceptions to this rule as well, however, as some decks focus primarily on high-level monsters and can special summon them or generate tributes quite easily.
Method 2
Drawing Practice Hands
1This method is a little more interesting, because it focuses more on chance than stats. But it can be unreliable. First, set your deck down and draw 5 cards. You could pretend you're going second and draw an extra card, but you won't always get the chance to in a game.
2Look over the cards in your hand. Think about what plays and combos you could make with them. Plan out your first turn.
3Put your hand back in the deck. Shuffle it well.
4Then repeat the above steps again.
5Repeat this a few more times for accuracy.
6For each time, think about which types of cards kept coming up. Are there some cards that are just dead in your hand? Are there cards you need but aren't drawing often? If you notice these problems, you may need to make some adjustments to your deck.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Have close to 40 cards in your deck. This will make it much more consistent and help you draw the right cards for combos.
- The best way to tell if a deck plays well or not is to test it in an actual duel. Then you can figure out what cards are almost never useful and which help your strategy.

Orange Range Juice Up SMEJ Revenue
Japan's biggest record company, Sony Music Entertainment (Japan), on Friday (April 28) reported mixed results for the year ended March 31, 2006.
Japan's biggest record company, Sony Music Entertainment (Japan), on Friday (April 28) reported mixed results for the year ended March 31, 2006.
Revenue for SMEJ and its 29 subsidiaries totaled ¥152.5 billion ($1.3 billion), down 1.1% from the previous year. Of that amount, ¥85.7 billion ($748.2 million) came from sales and distribution of recorded music, up 0.7%. The remaining ¥66.8 billion ($582.7 million) consisted of revenue from music publishing, artist management and other SMEJ subsidiaries, down 3.3%.
Although SMEJ does not release profit figures, the company's executive VP Mamoru Sakuma says the company racked up healthy profits during the year due to each of Sony's six labels (Sony Music Records, Sony Music Japan International, Ki/oon Records, DefStar Records, SME Records and Epic Records Japan) scoring major hits.
Big-selling titles for Sony during the year included three albums -- "Love Parade," "Onegai! Senorita" and "Kizuna" -- by pop/rock band Orange Range, all of which achieved double-platinum status (i.e., sales of more than 500,000 units).
Other reasons for the profit rise include the development of several new artists into steady-selling mid-ranking acts, the Japanese market's overall rise in music-download sales, more effective spending on advertising and promotion, and reduced overhead.
Domestic product accounted for 79.4% of SMEJ's music sales, compared with 79.2% in the previous year.
Sakuma says that SMEJ has no immediate plans to make its repertoire available on the Japanese version of the iTunes Music Store. He also reiterates that SMEJ and BMG Japan will remain separate operations in Japan despite the Sony BMG merger in the rest of the world.

The trial wasn't the whole story. This is, touts FX. After countless teasers, the network just unveiled the first trailer for their highly-anticipated new anthology series, American Crime Story. And it's an intense one.
The first season focuses on the trail of the century, The People vs OJ Simpson. The minute-long trailer highlights the drama inside and outside the courtroom and all the maneuvering on both sides. The infamous trial is told from the perspective of the lawyers.
The star-studded cast is on full display in the clip. John Travolta (Robert Shapiro), Cuba Gooding Jr. (OJ Simpson), Sarah Paulson (Marcia Clark), David Schwimmer (Robert Kardashian), Courtney B. Vance (Johnnie Cochran), Connie Britton (Faye Resnick), Selma Blair (Kris Jenner), Malcolm-Jamal Warner (A.C. Cowlings), Billy Magnussen (Kato Kaelin), Steven Pasquale (Mark Fuhrman), Cheryl Ladd (Mrs. Shapiro) and Jordana Brewster (Denise Brown) are just a few of those appearing in the 10-episode miniseries.
American Crime Story: The People vs OJ Simpson premieres Tuesday, Feb. 2, on FX. Check out the trailer below.
It's the infamous Bronco chase that captivated viewers twenty-one years ago. Who could forget that indelible image of OJ Simpson driving down a Los Angeles freeway as dozens of police cars followed him from a distance? It truly was riveting.
American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson promises to bring viewers inside that white vehicle during the tense chase as Simpson held a gun to his head. "You saw the Bronco," the brief clip reads. "But you weren't in the Bronco."
The ten-episode miniseries featuring an all-star cast including Cuba Gooding Jr, John Travolta, Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, Selma Blair and Connie Britton premieres February 2016 on FX. Check out the Bronco teaser below along with another new clip featuring OJ writing his suicide letter. I can't wait for the Ryan Murphy series to premiere.
Normally, the idea of any remake nauseates me, especially when it involves a classic. However, this one actually has me excited. Instead of trying to recapture the magic at the box office, FOX is bringing Urban Cowboy to television.
The series will follow the star-crossed relationship of Sissy and Bud as it unfolds against the gritty backdrop of rodeos, oil refineries, line dancing clubs and other aspects of modern-day Texas.
Adapting the John Travolta and Debra Winger classic for the small screen is a brilliant idea. Reportedly, the network is eying the project as a possible companion series for their mega-hit Empire. Given that the film is equally memorable for its soundtrack, this is a match made in heaven.
Are you looking forward to this potential series? I am. It's going to be Empire meets Dallas meets Nashville. Check out a few of the memorable tracks from the film. My favorite is the Boz Scaggs track written by a young David Foster.
check out some of the classic tracks from the film after the jump
Poor John Travolta. The 59-year-old actor hasn't had a hit in years. To supplement his income, he's previously filmed a tacky Qantas safety video and now this. In his defense, he probably would've filmed this commercial for free given his shirtless co-stars. These sexy Brazilian men are definitely an upgrade from those skeezy male masseurs he was allegedly involved with.
In the commercial for Brazilian rum maker Cachaça, Travolta is seen strolling around Rio de Janeiro. Along the way, people recognize him but it isn't until he sees hot boys playing on the beach til he decides to join in on the action. Before you know it, he's kicking balls and dancing with shirtless beach boys. After that, they all head out for drinks which I'm sure John footed the bill for. Drunk straight boys are easy pickings, right? LOL. Check out Travolta's liquor endorsement below.
The infamous Grease duo, Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta have reunited to release a Christmas album together titled, This Christmas and today they've just released the music video for one of the songs: "I Think You Might Like It."
In the video, Travolta flies his plane home for Christmas where he is reunited with Olivia Newton-John, who drove to meet him in a convertible packed with presents. The two do a little line dancing throughout the video in black outfits, which feels like an homage to the outfits they wore in final scenes in Grease. Aside from John & Olivia, we also see clips of other families reuniting for the holidays, including some soldiers returning home as well.
In the final clip of the video, the two drive off in the convertible, with one last wave from Olivia. This is of course an homage to the final scene in Grease when Danny & Sandy drive off in the flying car.
Oh, along with the release of the music video, John and Oliva sat down with Ellen DeGeneres on her show today. Enjoy the cute (and cheesy) Christmas music video, as well as their segment on Ellen below.
Watch the video & their interview with Ellen after the jump..
After watching this week's "Glee", I just had to write about "Saturday Night Fever". How much fun was that episode? I know some people really hate disco, but they can hate all they want. I love it and all the cheesy dance moves. Whether or not you were kicking around in the 70s, you're probably still aware of several tracks from the iconic movie's soundtrack. I wasn't partying during the hey day of the disco ball era, but appreciate the impact the movie and music have had on pop culture. I've even been to a few disco-themed parties in my time. If you haven't been to one, organize one now. They're a groovy good time.
Before Whitney Houston and her "bodyguard" sang they'll always love us, "Saturday Night Fever: The Original Movie Sound Track" was the top selling soundtrack of all time with over 15 million copies sold in the US and over 40 million worldwide. The "Queen of the Night" shattered that with 17 million domestic and 44 million worldwide sales. The disco album won Record of the Year at that year's Grammys and is ranked at #131 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Just like "The Bodyguard", the "Saturday Night Fever" OST track listing was dominated by one musical act. In this instance, it was the Bee Gees with six tracks. The brother band became the poster boys of the disco movement along with the film's leading man, John Travolta. Check out all the tracks below, along with my Top 5 favorites.
On Friday at the age of 60, Jeff Conaway known for his role as Kenickie in the film Grease and Bobby Wheeler in Taxi was taken off life support and passed away. The New York native who was known to have a long history with substance abuse and drug addiction became a cautionary tale in Hollywood.
On May 11th, Conaway was checked into an LA hospital and on May 26th, doctors told Conaway's family that there was no visible sign of brain activity. On Thursday, Jeff's feeding tube was removed and Radar Online reported that Jeff was in no pain. Jeff Conaway had no children but was married twice. His first wife was Olivia Newton-John's sister and they were together from 1980-1985. Jeff married again in 1990 to Kerri Young. The time and details of their divorce are unclear and were never really made public.
Jeff had tried to become sober many times but all attempts fell through. In 2008, he joined Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. On Howard Stern's radio show, Conaway admitted to attempting suicide over 21 times by using enough pills to "knock out an elephant." At the time of his hospitalization, reports flooded the media that it was due to prescription drug overdose but Dr. Drew Pinsky revealed that he was actually suffering from pneumonia and sepsis, a dangerous blood infection. In his passing, many stars he was worked with have come forward to remember him including John Travolta and Marilu Henner.
In a press conference that took place this week for the upcoming film, "Gotti: Three Generations," a surprise guest was in attendance: Lindsay Lohan (Oops, I mean just "Lindsay," since she dropped her last name). The troubled Hollywood starlet is set to play Victoria Gotti, daughter of John Gotti who is going to be played by John Travolta (another Hollywood star that hasn't been a stranger to scandal). The producer of the movie, Marc Fiore confirmed on Tuesday that they are in talks with Lohan, whom he referred to as "a terrific actress," but a deal has not been finalized. I guess that also depends on whether or not she goes to jail.
As mentioned, Travolta (now 57 years old) is playing John Gotti, leader of the notorious Gambino crime family, known for evading his convictions. In 1992, the mobster was finally charged with murder and racketeering. He died in prison 10 years later.

Boys first team
Losing was never an option. No, losing is never an option.
The Banks County High baseball team handed Lakeview Academy its first loss of the season, 10-3, on Saturday in Gainesville.
Chestatee boys soccer coach Michael Herrin says its program got a great momentum boost out of its 5-2 win against Buford in the Northeast Georgia Mountains Cup on Saturday at War Eagles Stadium. For the first time this season, the War Eagles have won back-to-back games.
Gainesville junior quarterback Blake Sims went to the University of Georgia's Junior Day event on Saturday and came home with an official offer to play for the Bulldogs, says Red Elephants assistant coach Todd Wofford. Sims, who passed for 2,453 yards and rushed for 822 yards in 2008, has picked up some steam on the recruiting trail with big offers from Michigan, West Virginia and Arkansas, to name a few. As recently as Wednesday, Wofford indicated that Sims was high on Michigan's program, through his communication with the school.
FLOWERY BRANCH - West Forsyth's girls soccer team took all the drama out of its top 10 matchup against Class AAA's fifth-ranked Flowery Branch (8-5, 5-2 Area 7-AAA) early on Friday in South Hall. There was no last-minute suspense and no late goal to tip the balance of the outcome. It was just a well-played game on both ends by the No. 9-ranked Lady Wolverines (8-1, 4-1) as they cruised to a 3-1 victory.
The Chestatee High baseball team picked up a region win with an 8-7 victory in extra innings against Johnson on Friday at Chestatee High.
Tai-ler Jones' recruitment is finally catching on close to home. On Friday, Georgia coach Mark Richt called Red Elephants assistant coach Todd Wofford to offer Jones a scholarship.
Lumpkin County High's baseball program is making a clear statement for its chances at making a run at the Region 7-AAA title this season.
What a week it has been for the Johnson High boys soccer team.
The Lakeview Academy baseball team remained unbeaten on the season with a 4-1 win against Franklin County on Thursday night in Carnesville.
Chestatee High principal Bill Thompson will begin a search immediately for a new boys basketball coach after former coach Russ Triaga resigned Thursday from his position he held the past six seasons with the War Eagles. Triaga resigned as Chestatee's coach after accepting an assistant coaching position at Dacula High in Gwinnett County.
The Gainesville High baseball team improved its overall record to .500 with a 14-3 win against Pickens on Wednesday in Jasper.
The Gainesville boys basketball is featured this week on Hall County Sports Television.
Two area athletes were selected as finalists for the Vincent J. Dooley Scholarships as released Monday by Athletes for a Better World and the Georgia High School Association.

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, USA (27 May 2011) - The International Society of Automation (ISA) announced today that it has signed an agreement to partner with Los Angeles Harbor College, located in Wilmington, California, USA. The agreement provides ISA the opportunity to offer technical training to students at Los Angeles Harbor College starting later this year through 30 June 2014.
The agreement will enable ISA to bring quality course content and instruction to Los Angeles Harbor College. The college will provide students with flexible course offerings and hands-on learning opportunities that will prepare them for careers in automation and control. Local automation professionals looking to enhance and grow their existing knowledge will also benefit from being able to enroll in these ISA course offerings at the college.
The following ISA technical training courses will be offered at Los Angeles Harbor College:
The Los Angeles Harbor College will establish, manage, and maintain ISA's schedule of course offerings. Courses will be open to current and potential Los Angeles Harbor College students and to any interested professionals. Schedule inquiries can be directed to John Sparks, economic development project director of Los Angeles Harbor College, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"This partnership is creating a local cadre of ISA trainers who will be able to serve industries in the area with flexible scheduling to meet their training needs," said John Sparks, economic development project director of Los Angeles Harbor College.
ISA's Education Services Manager, Dalton Wilson, said, "We are thrilled to be working with Los Angeles Harbor College to bring our quality course content and expert instruction to existing, new and future automation professionals in the Wilmington, California area. We plan to establish similar arrangements with other colleges across the US to enhance our efforts to grow the automation profession."
Los Angeles Harbor College opened in 1949 to meet the technical training needs of the harbor area. The college mission is to offer an environment that fosters learning by providing comprehensive programs that meet the needs of students and are useful to the community, advancing economic growth and global competitiveness through education and training.

Cubebyte laptop lock
You like your laptop and so do probably a lot of other people given the chance, but do you really need to invest in a laptop lock? We don a mask and gloves and see if the Cubebyte from Autosafe is up to the job.
Out of the box and you basically get a 1.8m high tensile steel 5.5mm, 16 strand, 2 x 4 core multi-woven cable that comes in a PVC casing, in other words something that you're not going to be able to cut through without a lot of effort. We tried with a pair of wire cutters, a saw and even an axe to no avail.
At one end is a loop, at the other is the lock that fits into your laptop's locking hole. Slot it in, turn the key, which Autosafe say comes with 20,000 different codes, and you're done.
Where the Cubebyte tries to differ from your average laptop lock is that there is a spring attached to the lock itself. In real terms this means that it promises to fit any laptop perfectly rather than having a one size (hopefully) fits all strategy.
To test this out we tested it on four laptops; a MacBook Pro, an old G4 PowerBook, an old laptop from Tiny and an Acer Aspire. It fitted all like a glove. The locking mechanism is large, but not overly large so that it gets in the way.
Those keen on losing their keys will be pleased to see that you get two with the Cubebyte (one to leave in your desk no doubt) and all-in-all the Cubebyte does what it says on the tin - make your laptop harder to take away from what it's attached to.
Simple but to the point, the Cubebyte promises to keep your laptop safe from overnight break-ins, although why you would be stupid enough to leave your laptop in your office overnight anyway (perhaps you don't want to be mugged on the way home) is beyond us.
The only catch? You've got to remember to attach it to something that won't move, like your desk leg.

DEFINITION of 'Joint Life With Last Survivor Annuity'
An insurance product that, when annuitized, makes payments to the annuitant, the annuitant and his/her spouse, or the annuitant and another beneficial party until both the annuitant and his/her spouse have passed away. These annuities are not term certain, so they continue paying out to the annuitant, and whoever he or she designates to receive payments, until the death of the annuitant and the designated third party. The annuitant may also designate a beneficiary, who can, but doesn't have to be the same person as the designated third party.
BREAKING DOWN 'Joint Life With Last Survivor Annuity'
These insurance products are an excellent way for an annuitant to provide for him/herself and his/her spouse until the annuitant's death and to provide for the spouse and the beneficiary following the annuitant's death. Annuitants may elect to have their spouse and beneficiary receive reduced payments after their death, so as to maximize the amount of money that will be transferred to the death benefit of the policy.

the actual hotel was good in terms of the resort, facility, breakfast service. my reservation for a tour and a dinner were never made even though they said they had made the reservation.
i asked to be charged in rupees and they charged me in dollars at an awful exchange rate. You may want to add about 15% to the listed price to account for that.
Dirty bathrooms. Especially asked for king bedroom but gave us room with 2 separate beds. Advertised free wifi but the charges for wifi were very high. Ride customer service.
The property is gorgeous.
The hotel charges excessive amounts for everything, far more than Western prices without the same Western service levels.
The best was the management: helpful and attentive.
Traffic noise from outside; but the AC helped to muffle it. The street noise diminished after 10 pm, however.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

Will look afterwards into this. So I decided to just wait for the Samba bugfix. A bit sad to say that creating the 8.10 bootable USB stick failed, creating looked good and the logo appears, but it won't boot. In this case, upgrading feels a bit like downgrading. Thanks for all the useful hints. -- Intrepid Beta: No Access to NAS samba share any more. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282298 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in ubuntu.

In this paper, a new feature representation for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is discussed. The representation addresses feature symmetries and constraints explicitly to make the basic model numerically robust. In previous SLAM work, complete initialization of features is typically performed prior to introduction of a new feature into the map. This results in delayed use of new data. To allow early use of sensory data, the new feature representation addresses the use of features that initially have been partially observed. This is achieved by explicitly modelling the subspace of a feature that has been observed. In addition to accounting for the special properties of each feature type, the commonalities can be exploited in the new representation to create a feature framework that allows for interchanging of SLAM algorithms, sensor and features. Experimental results are presented using a low-cost Web-cam, a laser range scanner, and combinations thereof.

In 1994 the U.S. Congress tried to ban drunken surfing on the Internet and sexual discussions in a public network.
First time around everything is special, and so was our trip to Photoshop World in DC. Even though my shoes were killing me right from the start, a view of thousands aspiring photographers taking Walter E. Washington Convention Center by storm was breathtaking and more than made up for it.
All this excitement meant that Depositphotos had no choice but to deploy its Power Crew with Marius Klatt and myself ready to tackle the challenge.
