A wonderful friend of mine just pointed me in the direction of Design Seeds and her timing couldn't be more perfect for Australian FT students as they're just starting colour theory. This is a beautiful site that separates images into simple colour palettes. You can even pick a colour value and find complimentary palettes based on that. A great resource and fantastic to peruse.
As one good deed deserves another (and my friend also creates the most awesome cakes - seriously, they are really awesome) here's a link to Kooky Cakes and her own blog (if you're the baking type).

OXCGN's I Am Alive Review
Dead in the Dust?
©2012 Gav Ross
After more than five years in production – including a change in developers in 2010 – the latest post-apocalyptic game has staggered onto the 360 with little fanfare.
Originally slated for retail release, takeover developers Ubisoft Shanghai made the bold decision in 2011 to downscale, making it an XBLA release only.
Weighing in at a hefty 1.7 gigabytes, I Am Alive is far from bite-sized; and it's a reasonably meaty single-player experience, although its jarring introduction fails to impress.
It's the end of the world as we know it… again
Set in the fictional US city of Haventon, I Am Alive's nameless lead character has just returned home after traveling across the country for a year.
Something sinisterly dubbed 'The Event' took place around 365 days before, obliterating most of the world's population, leaving sparse numbers of survivors left to fend for themselves in a crippled society.
Want to know the cause of 'The Event', or even what the protagonist has been up to for the year prior?
Don't expect any answers on that front.
I Am Alive is shrouded in mystery from the word 'go', which is frustrating at first, but makes sense as the journey continues.
The lead character wanders along deserted streets, the ashen landscape looking somewhat like downtown New York City hours after the September 11 attacks.
Shells of cars litter the roads and footpaths, parts of rotting buildings lay in crumbling heaps and the sun is a distant, pallid glow behind drifting, toxic clouds of dust.
Upon entering his old apartment, the man calls out fruitlessly to his wife and young daughter, their presence now only a fleeting memory.
It's here that the obligatory flashback sequence should be expected, but it doesn't come.
The man exits the building looking directionless.
He's only unfocused for a few moments, however, until he glimpses a girl who looks suspiciously like his daughter in an old car park across the road from his former home.
Rescuing her from a pack of hoodlums reveals she's actually not his offspring, but a needy youngster named Mei.
Suddenly, the nameless man has a purpose again.
Mei wraps her arms around the stranger's neck and grips to his back like a little helper monkey.
When it's discovered that she's ill and needs medicine, the man becomes even more focused.
Combat evolved
Enemies in I Am Alive aren't hideous mutant monsters suffering from radiation exposure following a worldwide catastrophe, nor are they cannibalistic aliens following up on their attack on earth. (Ed: Hurrah!)
They're simply people, or, more precisely, the ones who somehow managed to survive the unexplained disaster.
The first time the protagonist comes across a frightened thug, a screen prompt pops up advising the player to draw their gun.
Easy enough.
But what's this extra message – 'you have no bullets'?
Right off the bat, I Am Alive lets you know that bullets are more than just a rarity – managing to find one makes you feel like you're grasping the last hope for humanity.
No, this isn't a game where your character wanders through environments piling up corpses with his trusty magnum, this game requires much more finesses.
After another early confrontation, the man picks up a machete; it's not quite a round of bullets, but it'll do.
From then on, combat becomes something that relies on intuition, judgment and, sometimes, luck.
Each and every aggressive outcast you come across is different; some will strut defiantly towards you looking like they expect nothing but a fight, others will hesitate, sometimes waiting for you to make the first move.
And when enemies come in packs of three or more, things get even more interesting.
Usually, the rooster of the pack will come forward, only to be silenced by a quick throat slash with the machete that requires precise timing.
If one of the others draws a gun after the quick-kill, you're toast.
They have to be lucky enough to have a bullet of course, but there's little time to think.
Dealing with enemies is a constant learning curve and a refreshing approach in a game such as this.
Judging the intent of non-player characters takes time, and there's always going to be mistakes.
Very early on in the game my character came across an old woman standing at the doorway of an apartment block.
She was brandishing a rifle and vehemently shouting out to me that I wasn't welcome.
Thinking she was simply an elderly citizen I could perhaps talk to or even breeze by without a fuss (she could have been protecting something valuable in the building, after all), I put my arms up nonchalantly in a surrendering pose and started towards her.
Less than a second later my character was lying crumpled on the ground, blood from a bullet sound oozing from his skull, while the lady could be seen turning away back into the building like she'd just shot a pesky rabbit.
I will survive
While one-shot kills keep things realistic enough, I Am Alive pushes the envelope in a number of ways.
Limited resources mean just that….limited.
Forget about picking up health packs every five minutes – there's only one to be found in the first hour of play.
There are small doses of painkillers to be had more often, but their effect is minimal.
If your character cops a strike in a fight, the health bar can go down by as much as half, and, to make things even more interesting, there's no recharging.
There are times when your character can literally wander around for half an hour with only an ounce of life left, the screen pulsating with a red glow at the sides to indicate your moments away from a retry.
Retries – there's another aspect sure to make palms sweat.
Each level – or episode, as they appear to be called – comes with a couple of retries.
Fall to your death or bleed out and you'll be cast back to a recent checkpoint, using up a retry.
Run out of those and you'll be thrown right back to the start of the level.
Even though the game isn't challenging in the traditional sense, these restrictions soon makes playing I Am Alive an experience where you're always contemplating each action.
Next to the ever-present health bar is another meter sure to frustrate – the stamina bar.
Everything your character does is linked to his diminishing level of stamina, for better or worse.
Climbing pipes, ladders and poles in order to reach higher levels of buildings, shopping centres and bridges is where stamina is truly tested.
If your character isn't fast enough traversing around something above ground his stamina will soon drop to a dangerous level, causing loss of health.
There were many, fist-clenching moments when the man is one or two movements away from reaching a level surface, only to run out of health and plummet towards the earth at the last second.
There are a few items to be picked up along the journey to help with climbing sections – such as water bottles to increase stamina for a few seconds – but run out of those and you're history unless your clambering is swift.
Finish the game once on 'normal' mode and you'll be granted the opportunity to play again on 'survival' mode – which is the same game and difficulty, just with less pick-ups.
There's little reason to play through again, but it's nice the extra challenge has been included.
Its grainy, pixellated graphics and awkward movement animations (wait'll you see what the guy looks like when he slides down a rooftop) won't win the game any technical achievement awards.
And although there is a narrative there, the lack of answers will leave most unsatisfied.
But as a survival-driven, nail-biting gaming experience, I Am Alive succeeds.
If only playing through it didn't feel so much like work.

Walter Energy board has proxy challenge
British hedge fund says it will seek 5 seats on Walter Energy's 10-member board
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 11:41 p.m.
A fight for control of a company that is one of West Alabama's largest employers is under way.
A British hedge fund that controls less than 1 percent of the stock in Walter Energy, parent company of Jim Walter Resources, is challenging the election of Walter Energy's board of the directors at next month's annual meeting.
Audley Capital Advisors has filed a notice that it will seek five seats on Walter Energy's 10-member board of directors.
Walter Energy, which operates coal mines and related businesses, elects its entire board yearly. This year's election will be April 25 at the company's annual meeting at its headquarters in Hoover.
Walter Energy in its proxy statement has asked its shareholders to back its slate of 10 director nominees. Stockholders can vote online or by mail before the annual meeting or vote in person at the meeting. Each share of stock counts as one vote. Typically, most votes are cast before the annual meeting with the results announced at the meeting.
In its proxy statement to shareholders, Walter Energy's board has asked shareholders to ignore Audley Capital's solicitation for votes.
Audley Capital is expected to send its own solicitation of votes to shareholders. It has said Walter Energy has fallen short of its earnings target, relies heavily on debt financing and is poorly managed.
Walter Energy in its statements to stockholders said it is "committed to creating value for all shareholders through the successful execution of the company's strategy."
Walter Energy is a major producer of metallurgical coal, which is used in steelmaking. It has about 4,100 employees in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Alabama accounts for the largest share of its work force, most of which is in West Alabama.
Audley Capital and people affiliated with it control about 200,000 shares of Walter Energy stock. There are more than 62 million shares of Walter Energy outstanding.
In its annual report, Walter Energy said 2012 was a difficult year for the coal industry with a weak market for metallurgical coal because of China's slowing economy and Europe's economic problems, both of which resulted in less demand for steel.
Walter Energy also took a $1.1 billion write-down in the latter half of 2012, resulting in a net loss for the year.
A stock analyst told Reuters that such write-downs were seen throughout the coal industry during the last year and were due to market conditions.

Note: My weekly column.
During the recent cold snap I wrote a story for my newspaper about workingmen who have to be out in the weather, no matter how cold it gets.
I interviewed a sanitation company worker driving a rear-end loader.
Of course I had to tell him that in my youth I�d spent a total of six years working for a city sanitation department in Oklahoma. And of course just because he was going back out into the bitter cold, I had to rib him about it.
�Yeah, I was a garbageman back when it was a real man�s job, back when we carried the garbage on our backs!� I said. �We didn�t have a robot to do the work.�
He good-naturedly offered to let me come along on his route and pull the dumpsters around.
I became a garbageman after I�d dropped out of college and found myself in an economic downturn with little work experience, no higher education, and no vocational skills. I actually stuck with it for a few years before I went back to college and got my bachelors degree in anthropology.
I then worked a few more years in the refuse rangers before transferring to the sewage treatment plant, which actually taught me useful skills, and had shifts flexible enough for me to attend graduate school part time.
At one time I despaired of the years I�d spent on the job. Till an old gentleman who�d been a successful businessman in many different fields told me, �They�ll be the most valuable years you�ve ever spent.�
Well, perhaps he was right. I�ve lately thought about some of the things I learned on that job, and while I might wish it hadn�t taken quite so many years, I really don�t see how I�d have learned them any other way.
In no particular order, some of them are:
You�d be amazed at the things American�s throw away. Utensils, working appliances, clothes and shoes, unopened bottles of liquor� What a wealthy country we are in material things we can afford to be so casual about discarding!
Market forces rule. If there is a job that has to be done, and they can�t find people to do it, they�ll raise the wages until they find people who�ll do it, and they won�t look too closely at your background either.
We found this out in the heat wave of 1980, when for months the temperature never got below 100 degrees day or night, and often got as high as 114.
We couldn�t keep men. Guys would sign on in the morning and disappear at lunchtime. We were running two-man crews instead of the usual three and putting in hours of overtime every day.
We finally banded together and told our supervisors that we�d come in, work our eight hours, but we weren�t putting in anymore overtime. We just couldn�t maintain it physically anymore. The city responded by raising our wages to make them attractive enough for people to stay on the job.
They also found a way to collaborate with the union (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees) to make life for the shop steward who�d organized the job action miserable enough to convince him to find work elsewhere. For the union rep who�d helped settle the situation, they created an easy make-work position of �foreman.�
I found that it really does take all kinds. I worked with guys with masters degrees, illiterates, cons from the local medium-security prison on work release, men who later went to prison for heinous crimes, devoted family men, hell raisers who regularly came to work from the drunk tank of the county jail.
I learned that though you may think there is a job a chimpanzee could do, somebody will find a way to screw up.
And I learned there are some jobs that just have to be done No matter the weather, no matter the burden, no matter what. They never end, there�s no point you can stop and say, �That�s it, we�re finished.�
They are the essential unglamorous jobs that hold civilization together. Nobody pats you on the back for doing them, but they�d miss you pretty quick if you were gone.

Four teenagers hurt in Brookwood wreck
Published: Monday, February 18, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 11:54 p.m.
Four teenagers were injured in a one-car accident on Camp Cherry Austin Road in Brookwood late Saturday night.
At about 11:30 p.m., a vehicle hit a tree, injuring the 19-year-old driver and his three passengers. According to the Tuscaloosa County Homicide Unit, the accident is under investigation as alcohol may have been a factor.
A 19-year-old passenger is in critical condition at DCH Regional Medical Center. The driver is being treated at DCH for a concussion and broken bones. The other passengers, an 18-year-old female and a 17-year-old male, were treated for minor injuries and released.

- Why Mighty Leaf?
ML Jasmine Mist Organic
ML Jasmine Mist Organic green tea is a classic Chinese green tea scented with Arabian jasmine blossoms. This jasmine tea fills a silken tea pouch, our gourmet teabag, brewing up an aromatic and gently piquant, rounded cup.
Organic green tea, jasmine flowers
Flat green leaf
Fresh, delicate jasmine
Pale green liquor
Smooth and sweet body with a hint of tannin
Preparing the perfect cup of tea is a process to be savored. Watch how the traditional elements harmoniously come together to make the perfect cup and enjoy the liberation of pure tea goodness.
This is what we call the Mighty Leaf signature multi-sensory ("sensory melange") tea experience. Come share with us and learn how to get infused.
The quality of tea is affected by the quality of water used to prepare it. Using filtered or bottled water is best. If possible, avoid brewing tea with tap, distilled or mineral water. Never over-boil water, as it results in flat-tasting tea.
1) Heat filtered or bottled water to a rolling boil and then let sit for 1-2 minutes or heat to 170F-180F. 2) While the water is heating pour hot water into your teapot and cups, let sit and then drain completely. A warm teapot will maintain the requisite temperature for superior tasting tea.
Whole Leaf Tea
Slowly open up our specially created, sensually handcrafted tea pouch and enjoy the aroma of fresh whole tea leaves. Use one Mighty Leaf tea pouch per cup.
Infusion Time
Pour water over tea pouch. Time steeping carefully and infuse for 2 - 3 minutes. Watch how the leaves within the pouch have room to gracefully unfurl in your cup, creating a rich and flavorful infusion and a superior tasting tea.
Savor the Leaf
Sip your cup and rediscover the pleasure of the way tea was naturally meant to be. This is the magic of Mighty Leaf.
Health Benefits
Green Tea
Both black and green tea originate from the same plant, the Camellia sinensis. However, the final product differs in style, taste and caffeine content due to differences in processing. Green teas are not fermented or fully oxidized like black teas, but instead steamed or pan fired.
Like black teas though, green tea contains an abundant source of natural plant-derived antioxidant compounds called polyphenols. Included within the broad antioxidant polyphenol class are flavonoids and catechins. A kind of flavonoid, catechins are found in tea leaves and may provide protective antioxidant action against harmful free radicals.
Research shows that these free radicals cause heart disease, some kinds of cancer and increase the risk of strokes. Drinking green tea with its high antioxidant levels help protect the body by combating dangerous free radical activity.
Further health benefits of green tea may include lowering cholesterol, strengthening the immune system, promoting healthy blood vessel functionality and even protecting teeth and bones. In addition, green tea provides a source of nutrients including magnesium. Manganese, potassium, calcium, and the vitamins C and K all in trace amounts.
Jasmine(Jasminum grandiflorum, Jasminum officinale)
Highly esteemed in Asia, the Middle East and India, the name Jasmine originates from the Persian term Yasmin meaning fragrant flower. This queen of flowers has long been used in aromatherapy to help relax the nervous system and treat depression. Jasmine oil also is known to help remedy muscle pain, coughs and assist with healing scars.

NYC Mayor: Boston suspect said NY was next target
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 2:25 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 2:25 p.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — New York City officials say the Boston Marathon bombing suspects intended to blow up their remaining explosives in Times Square.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly spoke at a briefing Thursday.
Kelly says the two suspects had a pressure cooker bomb and five pipe bombs they wanted to set off.
They said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (joh-KHAHR' tsahr-NEYE'-ehv) told Boston investigators from his hospital bed that he and his brother had discussed going to New York to detonate their remaining explosives. They said they decided it spontaneously.
Kelly had said a day earlier that the Boston Marathon bombing suspects were planning to party in New York, but was later briefed by federal officials.
Tsarnaev traveled to New York at least once last fall. There is a photo of the suspect in Times Square.
Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan (TA'-mehr-luhn), died in a shootout with police.

Arnold Ronald Jaenisch, 71, of Clara City, has been found guilty by a Chippewa County jury of two felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide in a two-day trial last week.
Jaenisch was charged with driving through a double-posted stop sign at the intersection of Chippewa County Road 13 and Minnesota Highway 29 five miles north of Montevideo on Dec. 16, 2011. Jaenisch's vehicle struck the vehicle of Kelly Marie Berghorst, 39, of Montevideo. Berghorst was pronounced dead at the scene.
Jaenisch, who was seriously injured in the crash, was ordered held in jail pending a pre-sentencing investigation, which has not been scheduled, said Chippewa County Attorney Dave Gilbertson.
Jaenisch was also found guilty of open bottle and stop sign violation. Another felony charge of criminal vehicular homicide was dismissed prior to the trial.

Sinkhole shuts down Howard Gap Road
Published: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 2:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 10, 2013 at 2:50 p.m.
By MARK SCHULMAN
Times-News Staff Writer
Excessive rainfall caused a sinkhole to form Tuesday under Howard Gap Road, which was closed for about 24 hours, said Aaron Powell, N.C. Department of Transportation resident engineer.
NCDOT has been working on straightening that area of the road, and an inspector noticed the road beginning to sink.
"It kept getting worse," Powell said. "It dropped one foot in an hour."
The bottom of a drainage pipe under the road rusted out, creating an eight-by-sixfoot sinkhole.
One lane was closed off to traffic at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday.
"It got to the point we had to close the road around four o'clock," Powell said.
Crews filled the hole to support the road, Powell said, and the detour was lifted by 8 p.m. Wednesday There were no injuries, he added.
That stretch of roadwork should be completed by fall, and the area where the sinkhole was located no longer will be in use.

Olive Wave Table Lamp Item # A3302
Blenko Handblown Glass Table Lamp
Customize This Product
Thanks to our exclusive partnership with the Blenko Glass Company, we're reissuing this 1956 design from their archives, rendered in Blenko's proprietary color formulas. Blenko's master glassblowers blow the vessels and finials in West Virginia, and then we wire and assemble them, adding the sustainably harvested Eastern walnut bases, adjustable harps, and American-made shades.
Blenko has been producing richly hued, handblown glass since 1893. After decades of making stained glass for windows, the company made the significant decision to branch into tableware. With Design Directors Winslow Anderson (1947 to 1953) and Wayne Husted (1953 to 1963), Blenko began producing decanters, vases, and lamps. The voluptuous shapes and remarkable colors of these pieces made them highly collectible mid-century icons.
- Includes adjustable brass-plated steel harp
- Handturned Eastern walnut base with clear oil finish
- Turnkey switch also serves as a dimmer
- Includes dimmable CF bulb
- As with all handblown glass, minor variations and bubbles in the glass are natural and make each vessel unique
- Because the lamp's harp is brass plated, we do not advise regular or vigorous polishing, which could wear down the finish
- Handblown exclusively for Rejuvenation in Milton, West Virginia
- Suitable for indoor use (UL Rated Dry)
- Assembled in the U.S.A. of domestic and imported parts

Thursday's letters: Ugly language
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at 9:01 p.m.
To the editor: In the Jan. 8 edition of the Times-News, John Coulter wrote a letter saying the left promotes hate speech. I guess he missed the last couple of columns written by right-leaning columnist John Fogle. I promise you, the left has not put out that kind of hateful language.
As for quoting the president and Mitt Romney, Coulter might have missed Romney saying on Aug. 14, Take your campaign of division and anger and hate back to Chicago. (You can Google campaign of hate out of Chicago for the quotation.) You wont find a quote from the president using words like that against Romney.
I will also point out the comments of John Sununu, a Romney campaign co-chair. He called the sitting president a lazy idiot, said he had no class and said he should learn to be American. Romney never denounced this ugly language.
But heres my question: Why does the right have this need to keep refighting a battle that ended with the election more than two months ago? All of Mr. Coulters quotes are from way in the past. I just dont get it. Why cant they move on to constructive dialogue about the future?
Gayle Wayne
To the editor: Ive given this a lot of thought, and I suggest that you should, also. The letters to the editor and the opinion columns provide a forum for thoughtful opinions. Some provoke, some inspire, some challenge, some blather. Readers should be able to tolerate all of those.
But there must be a responsibility on the part of the paper not to publish the ignorant or the bigoted. When one writes Democrats are meaner or Republicans are more stupid, please discard the letter; it is useless toward thoughtful discourse or consideration. When one writes that a candidate is a good Christian man or a smart black man, please discard the letter; it implies prejudice that the public forum should not abide.
I do not ask for your censorship of opinions; rather, I suggest that there should be some ombudsman who tosses out the obviously inappropriate that are based on intolerance of ignorance and bigotry. Our newspaper prints way too many phrases, sentences and letters that I have never seen published in any other respectable newspaper. It diminishes the newspaper and, worse, the community.

Buyers, sellers sad to see final tax-free holiday
Published: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 3:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 3, 2013 at 3:30 p.m.
A look of disappointment fell over Nikki Evans' face as she browsed the racks at JCPenney's at Blue Ridge Mall Saturday. Evans was shopping with her little sister, JaSha, and her son, Josiah Haynes.
For years, Evans and other family members made the trek to South Carolina for its sales-tax-free holiday - a weekend dedicated to tax-free expenditures on clothes, technology, school supplies and other school-related items - because North Carolina didn't have one.
When North Carolina introduced the holiday, Evans was elated because then she could stay home and shop and save gas money.
The state's sales-tax holiday was nixed in the state's new tax reform package passed last week, however, making this weekend the last holiday. When Evans found this out Saturday, she resigned herself to the old adage that history will repeat itself.
"I did it every year before we started," she said. "I guess I'll be going back (to South Carolina) next year."
Evans wasn't the only customer out and about on Saturday taking advantage of the holiday and feeling the sting of disappointment.
JCPenney's had a steady day of shoppers, assistant manager Britanny Kent said, but the murmurs were loud as customers talked about the dismissal of the holiday.
"I've heard a lot of people talk about that," she said. "What a shame."
Kelley Eyster was manning a register on Saturday. Eyster is feeling the effects on two fronts - not only is she a retail associate at the department store, but she is also a teacher in the Transylvania County school system.
It's affecting her customers and her own pocketbook when she goes to buy school supplies. A lot of the customers, she said, don't understand why the weekend sale is going away. She had to explain to some customers that the decision was made in Raleigh.
That decision is going to have deep economic affects, Eyster said.
"I think it's going to affect retailers and the industry for sure," she said.
Kent said the Hendersonville store is contemplating bigger sales next year to compensate for the loss of the tax-free holiday. Those sales, Kent said, could be "deeper and bigger doorbusters."
Something will need to fill that void, Evans said, because the tax-free weekend is one she looks forward to every year in August. Aside from school clothes and supplies, there are a lot of birthdays towards the end of the year in her family. She uses the weekend to shop for those and for Christmas presents.
"Tax –free weekend comes right when we need it," she said. "(Not having it is) going to affect us a lot."

ECHO 1 41 Inch Gun Case - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- Just what the doc ordered. I got this case just because I needed something to take my gun on and off the field in. The case is exactly what I expected. Decent build quality, plenty of length for my combat machine R8. My only complaint is the Velcro tie downs on the inside. I have to take off my vertical fore grip to fit the gun in the bag using the mid-line Velcro straps. That's a minor inconvenience, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy the same bag for my next gun.

Love these minimalist playing cards from Joe Doucet. Wouldn't these be great to keep around the office for sneaky lunchtime games of Snap? Or else, just to display on your desk to look beautiful.

NY judge makes morning-after pill available to all
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 10:35 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 10:35 a.m.
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York federal judge has ruled that the Food and Drug Administration must make emergency contraceptives available to women of all ages within 30 days.
Judge Edward Korman in Brooklyn made the ruling Friday.
He says his order must be carried out within a month, and he criticized the FDA for failing to engage in rulemaking to adopt an age-restricted marketing regime. He says the plaintiffs should not be forced to endure and the agency's misconduct should not be rewarded for its "delay and obstruction."
He says the case isn't about the potential misuse of the so-called morning-after pill by 11-year-olds. He says the contraceptives would be among the safest drugs sold over-the-counter. He says the number of 11-year-olds likely to use the drugs was minuscule.

Family allegedly tries to bribe juror
Published: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 11:22 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 7, 2012 at 11:22 a.m.
A Houma man and woman are charged with trying to bribe a juror in their relative's drug case, authorities said today.
The father, James "Jim" Bonvillain, 75, of 512 Columbus St., was arrested Thursday, the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office said. The sister, Cheramie Bonvillain Jupiter, 43, was arrested today. They are both charged with jury tampering.
Travis Bonvillain, 43, of 483 W. Park Ave., Schriever, was set for trial Wednesday on drug charges, the Sheriff's Office said.
Members of his family offered money to a juror Tuesday in exchange for a not-guilty vote, the Sheriff's Office said.
Before the trial was to start, Bonvillain accepted a guilty plea and was sent to jail.
Jim and Cheramie Bonvillain are in the Terrebonne Parish jail, each in lieu of a $100,000 bond.
Deputies are also seeking Travis Bonvillain's niece, Tiara Wolfe, 24, to arrest her on bribery charges.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 876-2500.

State leaders, including Governor Sam Brownback and Kansas Secretary of Agriculture Dale Rodman, participated in a friendly competition at Harvester's – the Community Food Network to launch the "Neighbor to Neighbor" month-long, statewide food drive to reduce hunger in Kansas communities.
The food drive, which is jointly hosted by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Dillon's Food Stores, Harvesters – The Community Food Network, the Kansas Food Bank, the Second Harvest Community Food Bank and the Kansas agricultural community, will culminate on Kansas Agriculture Day, March 19. The groups hope to raise 50,000 meals for Kansas families during the drive. Kansans can contribute to the campaign at Dillon's Food Stores statewide or at other locations in communities across the state.
"Across Kansas, I am always amazed at the generosity our citizens show to their neighbors in need," Brownback said. "This food drive gives them an opportunity to help their fellow Kansans, to reduce hunger across the state and to support our state's farmers and ranchers. When you are shopping for groceries for your family this month, I encourage you to take part in this important campaign. While one food drive won't end hunger in Kansas, together, we can make a difference."

Take steps to improve financial literacy in April
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.

People get their clues — or lack of them — about money from an early age at home as they observe how their parents handle the topic, said Celeste Collins, executive director of OnTrack Financial Education and Counseling. The nonprofit United Way agency provides free financial counseling throughout the 18 counties of Western North Carolina.
"Many times, in family situations, where kids get most of their information about how to do life, the parents aren't confident in their ability to manage money, so they don't talk about it and kids never learn how to do it," Collins said.
"There's also not a consistent approach to teaching financial literacy in the schools. Of all the things that people need to learn about life, how to manage money and use credit is important. I would love to have an age-appropriate curriculum in the schools at every age level that teaches kids about credit, about managing money, about investing."
Help is available for adults, however, especial during National Financial Literacy Month in April. OnTrack does not sell anything; its counselors give objective evaluations to people about actions they can take with their money, Collins said.
The No. 1 thing a person can do to improve their financial life is simply to figure out where they stand financially, Collins said. On a monthly basis, know where your income is going and how much debt you have. These two topics are good starting points for anyone wanting to take control of their finances, Collins said.
"The very first thing is to try and get your own attention," she said. "What I've found is that when people stop and really look at it, they are shocked at what is happening and where their priorities are — how they are spending their money. And usually, that gets their attention when it comes to their debt situation."
Fear keeps many people from dealing with financial issues, but it doesn't have to be that way, Collins said. Financial products and services can be complex and that also contributes to the confusion a person can have about exactly what to do with their money.
Going to a financial planner can be one way to learn about options in investing, but it's important to find someone you can trust, Collins said.
"It's not something that you just want to open the Yellow Pages and look for," she said. "Some (financial planners) have minimum investment amounts which people need to understand, and always ask about their fees. Know what you are getting into."
A "Consumer Guide to Financial Planning" is available on the Certified Financial Planner's website at www.letsmakeaplan.org, which is a good resource, as well as contacting the local Better Business Bureau, Collins said.

You might not be a professional athlete just yet, but you can start eating like one. Healthy food expert Heidi Skolnik meets weekly with the New York Giants, the 2008 and 2012 Super Bowl champs.
Her message: Good nutrition helps players play well, time after time. The Giants use her nutrition advice to fuel their performance on the field. Would you believe Justin Tuck, a defensive powerhouse, likes to eat grilled asparagus?
Years ago, even professional athletes didn't think much about what they ate. It's a very different picture today, Skolnik said. She gives food and nutrition advice to the New York Giants all year long — in training camp, during the season, and in the off-season. They follow her suggestions. Why? Because it means better performance on the field, she said.
"Players want consistency in their play," Skolnik said. "They want to play as well as they can, as long as they can, and as consistently as they can."
What does consistency mean? A good athlete knows he or she can play well. But they want to play well every time, not have big highs and lows.
"Nutrition is a key part of that strategy," Skolnik said.
What you eat — or don't eat — can affect your mood, how much energy you will have, and how much endurance you will have. Skolnik offers these two guidelines for the players, and said younger athletes can follow them too:
There's no one magic food, Skolnik said, but eating healthy is an important way to get ready for game day. Tuck, a defensive end, obviously agrees.
Here's what he had to say about eating right:
We offer this recipe in honor of Justin Tuck, a pro football player who knows how to eat his veggies!

Yesterday, I moved out of house #1 in Gold Canyon. I had two nights between houses, so I went on Priceline and got a good hotel deal at a resort in north Phoenix, which seemed like something different. It seemed like a historic resort, perched on cliffs. However, it was built only in the 1980s.
The man who built it did it right. One of the restaurants, just down the sidewalk from my room, featured $250,000 worth of mahogany paneling. Wow, was it rich. I wanted to take pictures, but it is difficult to capture such dark, rich wood colors. I sat at the bar and ate a $7 appetizer for supper. Then on a whim, I said I have to have a glass of port for dessert, as the dark, ornate Victorian wood seemed to call for it.
The bartender had his favorite port and poured me a tiny glass of it. Fantastic! Best port ever. Port isn't subtle. The flavors overwhelm. You sip it a little nip at a time. This one tasted like chocolate. Wow.
It was good, and it lasted twenty minutes, but when I got the bill, it was $7 for the supper and $17 for the three ounces of port!
Oh, well.
Today, I moved into the next house. I sit there right now. It is excessive. I love it. I will take pictures and post here. What views! I took a run as the sun set this evening. The new route will be plenty good. This place is very, very quiet, much deeper into Gold Canyon than the first house, about which I had no complaints.
Lance was to arrive for supper. We have been on Skype. He was 80 miles north when traffic stopped near Payson, up in the mountains. There was an accident. While we were on Skype, a patrolman came by and said it would be four hours before the road opened. There were many fatalities in the accident. Or, as he put it, "there's a lot of people down there who don't have nothin more to worry about."
Grim. Tough on Lance.
Lance decided to turn around and head 90 miles back to Show Low and get a hotel.
I had planned to make supper, but now I don't feel like it!
But, humor intervened. I went online to find Lance a hotel in Show Low. You can look at the reviews of each hotel. The Super 8, which can be a little skanky, had good reviews––except for two. One from a woman who found a spider and left at 3 a.m. to find another hotel, and a second from a woman who was angry that the lady at the check-in had a low-cut blouse.
"I have a 13-year-old son, and I have enough trouble teaching him right from wrong without her doing that!"
Okay, lady, just what is wrong with your 13-year-old son seeing a little cleavage at the check-in for the Super 8 in Show Low, AZ?
Life is too short!
You might get in an accident tomorrow.

A Hannibal man faces assault charges following a shooting in Hannibal last week which left a Kansas City man wounded.
On Tuesday, a warrant was issued in the 10th Judicial Circuit Court charging Martez D. Peete with the Class A Felony of Assault 1st Degree – Serious Injury. Bond was set at $100,000 cash only. Peete remains in the Marion County Jail.
Peete was taken into custody on Monday afternoon at a residence Mexico, Mo., where he was reportedly hiding in an attic. According to Lt. John Zerbonia of the Hannibal Police Department, the 25-year-old Peete was not armed when he was arrested without incident by Hannibal detectives.
While police are not saying what Peete's relationship is with the people in whose house he was hiding, Zerbonia reports that "charges are being considered for those who were harboring him."
Peete's charges stem from a Jan. 28 shooting in the 400 block of N. Arch in Hannibal where a 38-year-old man was shot twice. The victim's wounds were not life threatening.
