Ohio Department of Transportation is ready to test a plan that could save Ohio millions of dollars, even if it doesn't work.
ODOT wants to have five of the state's 59 rest areas not along interstates converted into service plazas. Bids were released Monday.
The department is seeking bidders to lease the rest areas for development of convenience stores, gas stations and restaurants, similar to service plazas on the Ohio Turnpike.
The idea is to reduce the cost of maintaining the state's 104 rest areas, an annual $30 million-$50 million drain on the budget. That's a laudable goal, and the project would discover whether the service plazas would work on U.S. routes.
By design, the toll road differs from freeways in a way that provides a somewhat captive audience of travelers. Motorists on the limited-access highway who need fuel or a rest room break have no other option without exiting through a toll booth.
However, the five rest areas put up for bid Monday are a short distance from existing gas stations and restaurants. One, on US 23 in Pickaway County, is 10 miles from Circleville. Two on US 33 in Hocking County are about 5 miles from Logan. Of the two on US 50 in Athens County, one is about 10 miles from Athens and the other is 11 miles from Belpre.
The proximity of competition won't be lost on potential bidders. Obviously, if developers are found to convert the rest areas to service plazas, and the plazas can be run profitably, that would be great. If they would fail, that might be an indication travelers do not need the plazas.
If no bids are received, ODOT officials should consider whether rest areas truly are needed at those - and other - locations.
As stated at the onset, successful or not, this test could end up saving Ohio millions of dollars.

Most probably, the other X clients already use the other 14 free color
cells. Note that XAllocColorCells allocates read-write cells, and the amount
of these is not guaranteed to be a particular integer on a shared
colormap. You can use a private colormap where it is, but this may lead
to display flashing when colormaps switch.
Also, if your application can live with inexact color match and read-only color
cells, you probably should use XAllocColor instead.

It's always tempting to attribute an election result to the issue that created the most heat during the campaign. In 2001, for instance, Labor resisted the harshest of John Howard's border protection measures and went on to lose an election that had seemed its for the taking. Despite the fact that the Coalition's real boost in support came later, after the 11 September attacks in the United States, that poll will forever be known as the Tampa election.
Why did Labor lose in 2004? Listening to the discussion of private school funding over the past week you'd think that much of the blame lies with Mark Latham's notorious "hit list" – his plan to increase funding for poorer schools by reducing support for the wealthiest private schools. Age columnist Shaun Carney described the impact of that policy as a "searing" experience for Labor; a Daily Telegraph editorial earlier last week called it a "disaster" for the party. Julia Gillard seems to agree – she has announced that all private schools will receive an increase in funding as a result of the government's response to the Gonski report.
But how did voters in 2004 see the issue? Just before Christmas 2003, Newspoll asked 1200 adults to say what they would "like" or "not like" to happen in 2004. Fifty-five per cent of respondents said they would like to see "a reduction in government subsidies for private schools." Thirty-five per cent opposed such a move and 10 per cent were uncommitted. In other words, only a little over a third of respondents felt strongly enough to oppose what would later become Labor's education policy for the election.
Of course, people's views can change once a political debate heats up. Latham announced the school funding policy on 15 September, three-and-a-half weeks before election day. The plan provoked a furore, particularly on talkback radio. The prime minister, John Howard, characterised it as "old-fashioned class warfare," a phrase that appeared repeatedly – along with "hit list" – in media coverage over subsequent days and weeks. The churches "savaged" Latham (according to a headline in the Australian) and the private schools warned of fee hikes and an exodus back to government schools. Robert Manne described the announcement as "dubious politics." Andrew Bolt described it as "abhorrent."
Ten days later, an ACNielsen survey of just over 1400 voters found that support for shifting funding away from the wealthiest schools had risen since the Newspoll survey ten months earlier. Fully 66 per cent of respondents approved of Labor's policy, with 27 per cent disapproving and the remainder uncommitted. Even among Coalition voters, the policy attracted 47 per cent support, with 44 per cent opposed. Given that some schools and parents had an interest in resisting the plan, it isn't surprising that opinion among talkback radio callers (and in calls and letters to MPs) was almost exactly the reverse.
Those are the only two polls from that period specifically asking about education funding. Most pollsters, especially as the election drew closer, were preoccupied with overall voting intentions. Labor dropped the policy after the election, and since then none of the major polls have posed the question in the way that Newspoll and ACNielsen did in 2003–04.
So what really went wrong for Labor in 2004? In an article published in the Australian Journal of Political Science in 2012 (and abridged in Inside Story), Murray Goot and Ian Watson analysed the results of the Australian Election Study, which reported the findings of a post-election survey of 1769 voters. They concluded that while Labor had a clear advantage during the campaign in relation to education (despite the "hit list"), health and the environment, it was overwhelmed by the Coalition's strength on interest rates in particular.
Labor's biggest mistake during the campaign was to wait far too long to respond to the Liberal Party's relentless, visually sophisticated comparison of interest rates under previous Labor and Coalition governments, which it promoted through an intense campaign of direct mail, and print and broadcast ads. After the election, calculations by economics writers at the Age and the Australian showed a strong correlation between the proportion of mortgagee households in any given electorate and the swing to the Coalition.
If Labor felt seared by its schools policy in 2004, the experience was based on a misunderstanding of why the Coalition won the election. Regardless of the merits of the school funding policy, the evidence strongly suggests that it was an electoral plus for the party. We'll find out in a few weeks whether the same misunderstanding of public attitudes influences the government's response to the Gonski report. •

UNIVERSITY PARK - A high school diploma alone will earn a worker $33,852 on average in this country, based on 2013 numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Earn a bachelor's degree, and the figure jumps all the way up to $57,616.
Get a master's degree, and the number is $69,108, more than double what a high school-only graduate will earn.
Remember those second and third figures the next time you hear of a college football player complaining he's not getting enough value for his free ride, er, scholarship.
Penn State coach James Franklin talked Thursday about how his goal is to have his players graduate in only 3 years. He talks to them about it early on in the recruiting process and makes it a major point of emphasis once players arrive on campus.
Graduating in 3 years should be easily doable, too, since football players are on campus every summer and can knock out a good number of credits during those sessions.
Now, keep in mind that many players actually use up five years of eligibility, if they redshirt, of course.
It doesn't take John Urschel to do the important math at play here.
If a football player is so inclined - and there's no reason for these young men not to be so - then he can earn his undergrad degree in 3 years and still have an additional year and a half to work toward and maybe even complete a master's degree.
All for free.
So when it's time to pay the mortgage later in life, football players don't have to do what almost everyone else does, which is scrape and claw paycheck to paycheck because student loans eat up so much of the finances.
I get so sick of hearing from college football players who claim they need more of this, more of that, a monthly stipend and so on as extra payment for their playing services.
"The sport makes tens of millions of dollars off us," they claim, "and we want our piece of the pie."
Hey, you're getting it. It's called a free education and a degree that will benefit you tremendously for the rest of your life.
Furthermore, if the players are motivated enough to graduate in 3 years, as Franklin prefers, then anyone who's on scholarship for the full five years has only himself to blame if he doesn't cash in by earning either a second undergrad degree or a master's during his playing career.
Failure to do so is the equivalent of walking away from potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in earning power over the course of a lifetime.
"It's not just enough to get your degree from Penn State," Franklin said. "That's a foregone conclusion. You're going to graduate from Penn State. Not only that, but our guys are going to be able to work on second degrees and master's degrees and things like that. That's something we talk about from day one."
When a young man does that, the coach noted, "Now he's differentiated himself from other student-athletes and other students in general."
Franklin said a primary objective for a player earning a degree in 3 years is to make sure he finishes school in case he has an opportunity to go on to a pro career. A player who still needs credits during the spring semester after his playing career often has to quit school so he can prepare for the NFL draft, thereby coming up short for a degree.
Those players usually intend to return to school later on in life to finish their degree, but that doesn't always happen.
The value of a five-year Penn State football scholarship for an out-of-state student is $231,000, according to research done by PSU professor Mike Poorman, who covers the Nittany Lions for statecollege.com.
A very small percentage of the players will actually go on to the pros. Given the odds, all of them would be smart to get the absolute most out of their free education.
Whether they realize it now or not, it's the greatest value they'll ever get in life.

Remains identified as woman missing since April
Crystal Lynn Freeman reported missing by mother
Skeletal remains found by two hunters in Spartanburg County on Friday afternoon are that of a 20-year-old woman who was reported missing by her mother in May.
Coroner Rusty Clevenger said the remains, discovered in a wooded area off Highway 11 in the Fingerville community, have been identified as those of Crystal Lynn Freeman, who lived on Berry Drive in Boiling Springs.
"I was really hoping we'd find Miss Freeman somewhere trying to do something else. I was really hoping we wouldn't find her here. She was a very beautiful, vibrant young lady," said Sheriff Chuck Wright.
Wright said Freeman was missing since late April, though her disappearance had not been reported until 3½ weeks later.
According to Wright, her remains were found on land close to where Freeman's ex-boyfriend lived. Wright is not calling him or anyone else a suspect at this time.
Clevenger said special testing will be performed by a forensic anthropologist who has been called in to help the sheriff's and coroner's offices .
Two hunters who were checking on a deer stand near the intersection of Peachtree Road found the remains.

This week the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads back to Martinsville Speedway for the Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500.
The race last April at Martinsville was dominated by Jimmie Johnson. He started the race from the pole and led 346 of the 500 laps on his way to Victory Lane. If you have any starts with Johnson left, this is the week to use him.
Since the NASCAR Sprint Cup season is coming to an end, it is becoming more difficult to find drivers for your fantasy NASCAR team. For those who play the YAHOO! Fantasy Auto Racing game, selecting your teams is more about allocations than it is about who will win the race.
Since most fantasy NASCAR teams are running low on the number of starts on the good drivers, I am ranking the drivers in Group A, Group B and Group C in YAHOO! Fantasy Auto Racing to help you determine who would be the best driver for your team.
Here are my selections for the race Sunday at Martinsville….

9:50 a.m. UPDATE: As some of you have noted, some of the models have swung back toward Louisiana this morning. The official forecast, as anticipated, has changed little.
The flip-flopping of the models is normal, and reflects the fact that the computers don't yet have a firm handle on the system. The data collected by the Hurricane Hunters today should provide some more consistency by tomorrow. Hopefully.
Also, Tropical Storm Hanna has formed in the Atlantic. Some of the models do weird things with the storm, but I do not believe a tropical system that has formed in this area has ever reached Texas. The likelihood of a Gulf of Mexico impact is nearly as low.
For now my focus will remain almost exclusively on Gustav.
ORIGINAL ENTRY: As often happens with tropical weather, Tropical Storm Gustav has taken an unpredictable turn overnight. Let's talk about it.
The storm's center re-formed to the south of its original position and now Gustav is only about 80 miles east of Jamaica. This has caused a shift in some of the computer model forecasts toward the Texas coast.
Now over water the storm has quickly strengthened into a 70-mph tropical storm this morning, and further intensification seems likely later today.
Yet although waters are warm in the Caribbean Sea and wind shear quite low, interaction with Jamaica should inhibit the rapid intensification of Gustav into a major hurricane for at least a day or two as the storm passes near the island's southern edge.
The high-pressure ridge over Florida apparently pushed Gustav's center southward over night. What will happen to the ridge now? Will it continue to expand and push the storm west? Or will it weaken and allow a northerly turn?
The models diverge widely in their solutions:
Weather Underground
On the plot above we see that the GFDL model still forecasts a northerly turn across Cuba's western edge, bringing Gustav into Mississippi. Another global model that is not shown above, the European ECMWF, predicts a similar path.
More on chron.com
Yet four other models, all of them generally reliable, now bring the storm to Texas, or the Texas-Louisiana border. The official forecast has remained on Louisiana so far today. But if the GFDL jumps to the left later today, you can bet the official forecast will follow it in bringing the storm to Texas.
At this time there's just to much uncertainty to have much confidence in any forecast. With the southward bobble of the storm center we're now, more than likely, still probably five days from a final landfall. The error in such a forecast, then, exceeds 300 miles.
Therefore, as I have been cautioning, everywhere from south Texas to the Florida Panhandle remains in play for Gustav's final landfall.
The intensity forecast is, if anything, a bigger question mark, but forecasters generally expect a powerful hurricane in the southern Gulf of Mexico within a few days.
The good news, from a forecast perspective, is that hurricane hunters will blanket Gustav today and will collect reams of data that will provide better initial conditions for the computer models.
The model runs early tomorrow morning, therefore, should have a much better handle on the system's future track.
Later today I'll have an entry on the uncertainty inherent in five-day forecasts, and why it's difficult to get too antsy about a storm hitting any particular area at this time. At noon I'll also have a chat right here, so check back then.

James Hetfield, "We Can't Be Metallica Anymore"
Metallica frontman James Hetfield has announced that the legendary thrash metal band has decided to call it a day. According to Ultimate Guitar, Hetfield dropped the bombshell in an official statement, which can be read below.
"We've been doing this for 30 years. At a certain point, we all realized we wanted to explore new territories musically," the renowned frontman explained.
He added that the bands recent project with Lou Reed awoke each member's mind to new musical directions."The project with Lou Reed ['Lulu'] seemed to awaken a desire to move on to new musical horizons. It's come to that time; we can't be Metallica anymore."
Hetfield concluded by saying that he, and his former bandmates will continue to release music."But fear not, you'll be hearing new music from each of us in the future."
While it is all speculation, Metallica members have recently mentioned who they may be working with in the future. It is rumored that guitarist Kirk Hammett will once again be teaming up with Lou Reed for a concept album that explores the dynamic range of his favorite electric guitar effect- the wah pedal. "The wah pedal is pure expression, much like Lou Reed's voice. Everything on the album – percussion, vocals, guitars, bass – will go through a wah pedal," Hammett has previously said.
Drummer Lars Ulrich has expressed his interest in working with renowned shock rocker Marilyn Manson. "I've been drawn more to the artistic side of heavy metal – with a guy like Manson, I think I'll be satisfied artistically. We've gotten together a few times and thrown some ideas around."
Bassist Robert Trujillo in recent times has been openly dissatisfied with the band, calling Ulrich a, "tool" and Hetfield a, "control freak." According to Ultimate Guitar, he plans on returning to his previous band, Suicidal Tendencies.
It is not yet known what impact the decision will have on Metallica's upcoming shows and planned album.
Stay tuned for more details.
This is perhaps not the best news to kick off the month of April…

Re: "Orleans Parish Prison holds almost as many state inmates as local prisoners," Page 1, Dec. 18.
This story highlights the folly of the "per diem" system of jail funding, used by only a very small minority of states.
When jails are paid per prisoner rather than a budgeted lump sum, there is a built-in incentive to incarcerate more people. That system has led to the influx of state prisoners at Orleans Parish Prison, for whom the daily payment is higher.
An old federal consent decree sets the terms of payment of the per diem at Orleans Parish Prison, but no court order requires the per diem mechanism if the jail is properly funded.
Orleans Parish Prison is currently under investigation by the Department of Justice because of unconstitutionally unsafe conditions, perpetuated under the per diem system of payment. The per diem has done nothing to make our jails better or safer, and it can and should be ended.
Capping the number of jail beds at 1,438, as recommended by the Working Group, must be accompanied by a revision of the funding mechanism.
We must be smarter about both the size and the funding of our jail as we move forward towards an improved criminal justice system.

Traders have been buying everything this month, and that could continue to push prices higher in stocks while fueling a turnaround in bonds and gold.
Headlines Hide the Good News in Earnings
Despite some headline grabbing disappointments, earnings season is actually off to a good start. About one-fifth of the companies in the S&P 500 index have reported earnings, and 66.4% have beaten estimates. Over the past four quarters, 64.6% of companies have beaten estimates on average. We are still weeks away from knowing what the number will ultimately be for this quarter, but it is a promising start.
Headlines have been focused on the companies that have come in below expectations. That list includes Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Google (Nasdaq: GOOG). INTC fell 3.6% for the week, MSFT was down 12%, and GOOG was off 2.9%. These losses weighed down PowerShares QQQ (Nasdaq: QQQ), which lost 0.9% last week.
Other than tech stocks, the broad market did well as SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY) gained 1% last week. Investors have been buying about $1 billion worth of SPY a day so far this month. They have actually been buying almost all equity ETFs, with money flowing into funds four times faster than average.
The effect of this buying can be seen in the Dow Theory buy signal that was confirmed last week.
Dow Theory identifies the direction of the major trend in the stock market. In the late 1800s, Charles Dow developed the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Dow Jones Transportation Average to track trends in the economy.
Dow understood that the economy grows when manufacturers are producing as much as possible. Economic growth translates to profits for the companies, and this can be seen in the performance of their stocks.
Getting manufactured goods to market requires that the transportation industry also be growing, and that would drive the stocks of the transport companies higher. When both the industrial and transportation indexes are moving in the same direction, a confirmed trend is in place and traders can become more aggressive.
Both the industrial average and the transportation average are at new highs, and that is the definition of a bull market according to Dow Theory.
Gold Gives A Buy Signal
SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) added 0.8% last week after jumping 5.1% the week before. Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDXJ) gained 3.3% as speculators returned to the market. Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSE: GDX) did even better, gaining 6.1%.
The Traders Dynamic Index (TDI) signaled a buy in GDX at the end of last week.
TDI combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Bollinger bands. A buy signal is given when RSI crosses above the midpoint of the Bollinger bands. In the past, GDX has gained an average of 1.9% after this signal. This trade has only been a winner 56% of the time, but the gains have been significant. For comparison, in an average two-week period, GDX has gained only 0.1%.
Action to Take --> One way to trade this signal would be to buy only if GDX confirms its strength and trades at a price above last week's high ($25.99). That entry improves the percentage of winning trades slightly, to 58.8%, and the average gain increases to 3.2%.

Coconut Macaroons Two Ways
A while back I made coconut macaroons for the first time, using a very simple recipe. You can read my previous post here. Since then I have been looking at other various coconut macaroon recipes. A lot of the recipes call for egg whites. I was curious how a recipe with egg whites would work compared to using condensed milk. So I decided to make coconut two ways and compare them.
For the egg whites recipe, I chose one posted by use real butter, which I believe she got from Martha Stewart's Cookies. I had to make some adjustments. In the original recipe, she made a chocolate glaze for the macaroons. I think the macaroons are sweet enough on their own, so I didn't make the chocolate glaze. Also the recipe calls for unsweetened coconut flakes, which I have been looking for, but unable to find. So I used sweetened coconut flakes, and cut down on the sugar. Here is my modified recipe:
1/2 cup sugar
2 1/2 cups sweetened, shredded coconut
2 large egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
Directions: Set oven at 325°F. Set parchment paper on a large
baking sheet. Mix all ingredients together by hand in a large bowl. Wash hands off. Dip hands in cold water and shake
off excess. Shape a mound or ball from 1-2 tablespoons of dough and set
on parchment paper with an inch of spacing between each cookie. Bake
16-17 minutes, rotating the baking sheet after 8 minutes, until golden
brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Conclusions: The batter was a bit loose. When it baked, it came out a
pretty golden brown. However, there also pooled a gooey later at the
bottom. I think it was from the egg whites. The gooey layer at the
bottom didn't taste like much.
The macaroons were easy to remove from the parchment paper. The macaroon wasn't as chewy as I would have liked. It was very loose. I love the pretty golden brown though.
Next, I tried using a condensed milk recipe. I used a recipe submitted by Fratcook on allrecipes.com. I followed the recipe exactly:
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 5 1/2 cups flaked coconut
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with
parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, coconut and salt. Stir in the
sweetened condensed milk and vanilla using your hands until well
blended. Use an ice cream scoop to drop dough onto the prepared cookie
sheets. Cookies should be about golf ball size.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until coconut is toasted.
Conclusions: This recipe was a lot easier. No need to separate egg whites. Just combine a couple of ingredients and you're done. Also the condensed milk and flour acted as a good binding agent. This macaroon was a lot more compact and created a chewier macaroon.
When I originally first made my macaroons for the first time using condensed milk, it was so easy, i thought that it was almost like cheating. I thought that perhaps a more complicated recipe was create a better macaroon and that the condensed milk version was just a "quick fix" for someone really craving macaroons. But both recipes yield similar results, and in fact, I preferred the dough of the condensed milk version.
12 Responses to "Coconut Macaroons Two Ways"
Actually, a lot of recipes I've seen call for whipping the eggs into a meringue. I wonder if the foaminess adds structure which prevents the gooey pooling you experienced.
I'm not sure if it would make a difference. I've seen the whipping eggs recipes as well, but people who commented on this egg white recipe said whipping wasn't necessary.
Kirby, you said that you cannot find unsweetened coconut. I found some at Midwest Northern Nut Co in Minneapolis, MN. Their phone number is 612-781-6596. It is a wholesale nut company but open to the public. I use coconut for candy I make for the holidays so I bought the smallest amount I could – 5 lbs for $11.00. It is a huge amount..i have put it in the freezer and figure it will last me for the rest of my life!
Thanks for the information!
That sweetened condensed milk recipe is just fantastic! It's my go to recipe whenever I'm in the mood for macaroons. My friends love it too!

What a waste of time and food! I made 2 dozens with 5 cups of coconut, but I can not taste them because everyone of them got stuck on the paper! there is no way to remove it from the bottom of the cookie, so i'll have to throw it away. Next time i'll try aluminum foil instead. They look good though.

If you love crunching numbers and want to learn how to help businesses balance their books, a career in accounting might be just what you're looking for. Accounting trade schools can prepare you for a wide range of careers in this field. For example, you could learn how to work as an internal auditor, or professional who manages an organization's financial matters. Likewise, vocational education in accounting can also prepare you to work as a public accountant, or professional who provides a wide range of financial services to corporations, governments, and individuals, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov).
Accounting specializations
Accounting trade schools teach students the skills to work in a wide range of jobs within the industry. According to the BLS, the following specializations are most common:
- Government accountants - oversee the financial records of government agencies and audit private businesses and individuals in order to ensure compliance with government regulations.
- Information technology auditors - oversee an organization's computer systems in order to ensure that all financial data is secure.
- Internal auditors - Manage an organization's financial transactions in order to protect them from mismanagement.
- Management accountants - analyze the financial transactions of their organization in an effort to provide solid data for business purposes.
- Public accountants - provide a wide range of financial services to individuals, businesses, and corporations including consulting, accounting, and assistance with tax compliance.
Accounting certifications and degree programs
According to the BLS, most accountants and auditors need at least a bachelor's degree in order to gain employment. However, in certain cases, those with an associate degree and on-the-job experience may be able to gain employment as a junior accountant and work his/her way up.
Most accountants and auditors have completed formal education in accounting. As the BLS noted, accountants and auditors commonly complete an apprenticeship or internship also, in order to gain some on-the-job experience. Because an accounting career relies heavily on numerical data, accounting students typically study subjects such as statistics, applied probability, and advanced algebra. Specific accounting classes will introduce students to topics such as financial accounting theory, federal and state income taxes, and business law.
Accounting pay and career information
Because the health of the accounting job market is tied in closely with the health of the economy, jobs in accounting are expected to increase at a healthy pace. According to the BLS, employment for auditors and accountants is expected to increase 13 percent from 2012 to 2022, which is about as fast as the average for all other occupations combined.
Projections Central also predicts that the following states will see even larger increases in employment for accountants and auditors from 2012 to 2022:
- Colorado: 28.4%
- Utah: 28.4%
- Georgia: 25.7%
- Arizona: 23%
- Tennessee: 23%
- Washington: 21.5%
The BLS reports that the annual median wage for accountants and auditors was $65,080 in May of 2013, with the top ten percent of earners bringing in $113,740 and the bottom ten percent earning $40,370 (BLS.gov/oes, 2013). With healthy pay and plenty of job prospects on the table, it's not hard to understand why so many students are interested in an accounting career.

The sport, growing but not quick enough, is quickly growing for the ladies in the sport. Across the US there are ladies only mountain bike clubs popping up, allowing you to learn and experience the trails with skill clinics, and other women who will allow you to go as slow as you would like. Mountain biking can sound daunting, trees flying by you, dirt and mud. Add the technical features and rocks, it would scare any self preserving woman!

We all need to have a little cash on hand. Maybe you need some cash but don't want to head out to the ATM? Maybe a truck just stopped by and they have a great deal on speakers (OK, bad example, those speakers are probably stolen or not as advertised). Whatever your reason to keep cash at home [3], you have some cash on hand and you want to know where you should hide it so thieves, should they be so enterprising, don't get their hands on it.
When picking where to hide it, remember one maxim – thieves don't have a lot of time so they look in the most predictable of places. In your underwear drawer, under the mattress, in your desk, in a jewelry box, in your closet, and most notably, in a safe. So when picking a place to hide your cash, follow this one rule – make it look like something else. Camouflage is the best protection because, presumably, they don't have all day to look.
Best Places to Hide Money At Home
- In Your Freezer: Do you have any idea what is in your freezer? No, so what chance does a burglar have if you take your valuables, money or jewelry, wrap it in foil, put it in a zip lock bag, and stuff it in your freezer? They won't know the difference between your frozen chicken breasts from you frozen wad of $20s.
- Framed Pictures: This one is a classic and the stuff of legends, just hide it in the back of a framed picture between the picture and the frame. It's where an enterprising adventurer hid the map to One Eyed Willy's treasure. 🙂
- Hollow Can of Soup: After you've enjoyed the soup, wash it out and use it as a container for your cash. Stick it back in the cupboard with the rest of your stacked cans and burglars stand little chance of finding it.
- In Your Toilet: Get a secure zip lock bag (or two or three), put your stuff in it, and tape it to the lid of your toilet's water tank. Burglars typically don't search toilet water tanks in the hopes of finding treasure.
- Pockets of Jackets: You may already do this without knowing it but why not hide money in the pocket of pants and jackets in your closet? If you have expensive clothes, that you think burglars might steal, this might be a bad idea.
- Tucked Into Books: Much like the spreading out across jackets, you can stick bills inside the pages of books.
- Coffee Cups: How many times do you use every coffee cup? Find the one you rarely use and roll up some bills to hide in there, it'll usually be in the back and away from prying eyes.
- Hollowed out Book: Jeff from Sustainable Life Blog [4] tweeted [5] this idea to me, which I hadn't thought of. I like all my books so I think I'll have to check out my library's next used book sale for a nice thick book.
- Lining of a Suitcase: Tweeter Beskeie [6] suggested the lining of a suitcase, which is certainly novel.
- Feminine Hygeine Product Box: Kandace of Making it Bright [7] suggested the bottom of a feminine hygiene product box [8] in the bathroom, that's another brilliant idea!
- Your Kid's Toys (Or Board Games):Digital nomad Alex [9] says he puts "all his money" in a Candyland box, which is probably good for hiding (it's not much different than hollowing out a book, without hollowing out a book) but probably less good when you're out shopping.
- Fake Stained Underwear: Tweeter Meathook Jones [10] shared this gem [11], stained underwear is probably something a thief will actively avoid.
And with that final suggestion, I think we will end this list for fear of getting worse. 🙂
Now for the hardest part, remembering where you hid it!

Holiday Shopping: The Best Times For Shopping And Saving On Holiday Gifts
The stores are already starting to put up Christmas trees and holiday decorations. 'Tis the season to start looking at shopping for holiday giving. As always, knowledge is power and that knowledge of where to shop and when can mean big savings. If you're wondering when the best times to shop are you'll want to check out new data from coupons site Savings.com. The site has just published their 2013 Best Times to Buy Holiday Gifts guide. Read on to get all the details from Black Friday to Cyber Monday shopping and beyond.
In order to come up with their gift guide, Savings.com analyzed more than 1.5 million deals from 25,000 retailers and polled leading consumer and shopping experts. That's a whole lotta data going on! So what does the research show? The data shows that there is way more to holiday shopping than just Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. For savvy shoppers, there are several other peak sale periods during which consumers should be shopping to maximize their savings. Here are the highlights of the study, organized by consumer category.
- Electronics: Black Friday and Cyber Monday will continue to offer deep discounts on electronics, but there will also be eye-catching deals the first two weeks of November as retailers try to entice consumers to start their holiday shopping sooner. This will be especially noticeable this year, as the calendar has six fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and retailers are expected to kick off their promotional strategies earlier than ever to make up for the lost shopping days.
- Clothing and Accessories: The best time to buy apparel and accessories, including shoes, jewelry and handbags, will be Cyber Monday with all the major online retailers offering significant site-wide deals. However, the highest volume of deals will be available from December 15-24. As the days go on, the quantity of deals will go down, but the percentage off will go up.
- Food and Wine: In the three days before Christmas, the best discounts will be on food and wine, both of which serve as appropriate last-minute gift options for friends, coworkers and neighbors.
- Toys, Games, Sporting Equipment: Although there are great door busters on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, there will be triple the amount of deals in this category the first week of December. For those who put off holiday shopping until the last minute, another spike of sales and deals will come around December 20.
"Although Black Friday and Cyber Monday are great days to score a deal this holiday season, we encourage consumers to think outside the Black Friday box and to use this calendar as a reliable shopping guide," said Loren Bendele, co-founder and President of Savings.com. "There are six fewer shopping days this calendar year, meaning the retail environment will be competitive with leading brands fighting for your dollars. While this is great news for the consumer, it will be important to sift through everything that's out there and to be confident that you're getting the best deals possible."
As we get closer to holiday gift giving, I'll be checking Savings.com's new Black Friday and Cyber Monday Sales site for coverage of the best Black Friday deals, sales, ads, and door busters from all the leading retailers. The website promises to post over 40,000 coupons from discount and luxury brands for consumers with varying budget levels. How good is that?
Right now, if you're looking for savings on Halloween costumes, you might want to check out Savings.com. They have some great coupons discounts on costumes.

Food Minister Quamrul Islam on Tuesday warned that law enforcement agencies will come up with proper response to BNP if it launches violent programs in the name of movement.
He said this at a discussion, titled 'Sheikh Kamal's 65th Birthday', organized by Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote at Shilpakala Academy in the city.
The minister said, "Law enforcement agencies' duty is to protect public property. So, if any one tries to vandalize public property, they won't stay silent, but give the proper reply."
"BNP has said they'll come up with a movement after Eid. But after announcing the movement, BNP leaders are now sleeping and holding news briefings in the party office," quipped Qamrul.
He further said, "When a BNP leader briefs in the party office, there's no other leader; not even ants."
The Food Minister said August is the month of mourning and Khaleda Zia should be mindful about the significance of the month.
Cutting cakes on August 15 gives Khaleda Zia a repulsive and monstrous look, Quamrul observed adding that she should stop observing her birthday on the Notional Mourning Day.

My 9yr.old cat sweet pea had just passed away on june 8th and I was very upset but I and my little girl cat were getting lonely so I decided to go and take a look at some persians this lady named Angel had.I have always wanted a white or silver persian and she had only 1 left of that litter and 4 of another litter that weren't ready yet and were black and grey and one was cameo.I was only really thinking about the silver persian she had but I still wasn't planning on taking a kitten home that day,that is until I saw him and he came right in my lap and went to sleep and when I held him I felt a tingling sensation in my heart and I knew that he was going home with me.It was odd how things went.First of all he was exactly what I was looking for and no one else around even had that color,secondly he was a male,and thirdly the lady who had him was named Angel and at the time I wasn't thinking about it but I got him on the very day of my grandmother's 1 year death anniversary,so I feel like he was meant for me.He is completely spoiled rotten and I love him very much!He loves riding in my lap in the car although he is getting to big to sit under the steering wheel and he loves getting baths!

It is a small cabin, built with wood and roofed with green metal. Which would make it rather ordinary if it weren't tucked beneath one edge of a massive rock ceiling of a cave. The locals call it "the cave house."
There is a matching shed, too, at the opposite edge of the cave, and a wide-open expanse in-between, with 2,000 square feet of sheltered outdoor living space. The rock ceiling soars from 20 feet in the back to 35 feet at the edge.
And there is a man who lives in that cave house, part-time at least. Don Fast, who owns a loft in downtown Birmingham as well, bought the property about five years ago and christened it "the grotto."
The furnishings in the cave, like the furnishings in the house, are simple and rustic, including natural log benches "made with a chainsaw." An old chandelier, laced with a cobweb or two, hangs at the highest point of the rock ceiling, near feeding stations that draw cardinals and woodpeckers and finches and doves.
"There are no bats in the cave," the 39-year-old owner says. "Everybody asks that."
One decidedly non-rustic addition to the cave is a high-definition, 120-inch TV projection screen, which emerges from the rock ceiling with the push of a button. A tree stump houses the projector, and the speakers are disguised as stones.
The cabin is cozy, as in one large living area, with beadboard walls, a vaulted ceiling, a rock fireplace, a tiny kitchen and a separate bedroom and modern bathroom, featuring a polished-stone sink atop a tree trunk base.
The original cave house was built in 1960, by a Jasper couple who planned to build a subdivision on about 60 acres of surrounding property, a subdivision called Dogwood Lane. Four years later, when Smith Lake resident Bonnie Dryer Amick was 3, her parents, Ed and Vera Dryer of Huntsville, bought the subdivision, and they lived in the cave house part-time while continuing to develop the land.
"We came every weekend until I was 14, when we moved here permanently," Amick says.
The cave house was, she says, an idyllic playground for her and her brother, Jimmy Dryer. She remembers sleeping on the cabin's screen porch, playing in the minnow pool at the back of the cave and splashing in the waterfalls nearby.
The newest owner's favorite moments, he says, are when the weather is calm, when he can sit on his deck and takes in the view of the flora and fauna, including the birds, and occasionally a beaver or spotted fawn.
"It's very peaceful," he says.

"It's all in how you look at your life, because no one has a wonderful life. But you can make it what you want it to be," Grimes tells Seattle's KOMO-TV.
Grimes endured pain beginning as a child. Both of her parents died by the time she was 15. Married young, she soon divorced, and her ex-husband died in a hunting accident. Her second husband died of cancer. And most difficult of all, her son committed suicide at 18.
"He was a good kid," Grimes says today, admitting the guilt never really went away. "I chose to face it. Feel it. And release it," she says. "I did the best I could."
Grimes says the optimistic message of It's a Wonderful Life, which she helps to spread through personal appearances, resonates because it acknowledges life's hardships. And in a way, the role she played as a child turned out to be the most meaningful of her life.
"It has put me on a path," she says. "I am not longer Karolyn, so much as I really am Zuzu."
The best part for Karolyn, is the mail she gets from fans. "The letters I get are just incredible," she says. "They love the movie, they thank me for being in the movie. What a great gift I've been given. And I don't take it for granted, I really don't."

ALBANY, N.Y. — Former state Senate leader Joseph Bruno was paid thousands of dollars for steering business to a stock brokerage that wrote the checks to Bruno's Business Consultants Inc., which prosecutors said at his corruption trial was never legally incorporated.
The prosecutors worked Tuesday to show that the 80-year-old Rensselaer County Republican schemed to conceal his outside earnings from peddling state influence by masking it behind two "shell" companies. They submitted as evidence a 2009 Department of State document showing there was no incorporation certification for Business Consultants Inc.
New York corporations normally have to file such documents with that department and then adhere to certain reporting requirements, including identification of principals and business accounts.
In testimony Tuesday, Bruno's former Senate counsel, Court of Claims Judge Francis Collins, said he filed a form in 1992 with the Rensselaer County Clerk for Bruno to start working on the side under the business name "Business Consultants."
Asked by defense attorney Abbe David Lowell whether Bruno ever told him to conceal anything about his business dealings, Collins said, "Never. Not once." Lowell questioned whether there was any way of knowing who added "Inc." to the name.
Bruno faces eight counts of wire and mail fraud. The charges are tied to $3.2 million prosecutors say Bruno got in the form of commissions and other payments from Wright Investors Service, McGinn, Smith & Co. and three businessmen.
The leader of the Senate Republican majority from 1994 until he retired in 2008, Bruno says he got paid for work he legitimately did consulting and helping the investment companies get business.
Prosecutors say that since 1993, Bruno received $632,116 from McGinn, Smith, which took a brokerage fee, and $1.37 million from Wright, which took an investment fee from the pension funds.
Timothy McGinn, chairman of the company with his name, acknowledged the authenticity of certain documents, including checks paid to Business Consultants Inc. and a 1992 letter the company sent the senator proposing to announce his affiliation through press releases, advertisements and a dinner with big clients. They never made any announcements, McGinn said, apparently at Bruno's request, and the company never questioned it.
The company letter outlined Bruno's part-time employment terms, including $2,000 each pay period, which would be "offset against fees generated" and include commissions as a percentage of new business in "developing money management relationships" with labor unions, corporate accounts and wealthy individuals. McGinn said it was no secret Bruno did business under the name Business Consultants.
However, a letter submitted soon after that to the Legislative Ethics Committee, which cleared Bruno's outside employment as presenting "no substantial conflicts of interest" to his duties as a legislator, omitted references to the unions or commissions. It said he would receive "straight salary" and "assist in all areas of investment banking and asset management."

A misnomer for the Horn in F or F Horn; this instrument plays in the key of F and was invented in Germany. However, it was mistakenly called the "French Horn". The International Horn Society has declared the official name of this instrument to be the Horn.
A single Horn has 3 keyes, while a double Horn has 4. A talented Horn player can play over 6 octaves on this instrument.

The best instrument ever. Pitched in F with over 5-6 octaves, one of the hardest brass instruments to learn and master. (I havent mastered it myself. Another 10 years for me. :-D) Mastering could take years and years and many hornists havent ever mastered this beautiful instrument. Heard in Wind Ensembles, Orchestras and Chamber Ensembles as many people who play horn cannot play well. Only determination and will power can get you to play this instrument well. Most people dont know that embouchre and air are the key to this instrument. Hard to play in tune when you start off. Once mastered this instrument can bring the very best out of you. Word.

Stop Sabotaging Your Own Success: A Manifesto
By Sara Rosso (VIP Global Services Manager, WordPress)
If you're new here, you should probably read my biography just to give you a better sense of who I am. In short: I do a lot of stuff. I'm curious. I love learning. I take risks. I speak my mind. I dare.
The risks I take are reinforced by a belief that I owe it to myself to at least try. I've always seen myself as a bit of a Jack of all trades, rather than an expert in one subject, but I've come to believe that's a blessing rather than a curse. Releasing myself from the aim of being an expert or being perfect at something means that I have the complete and utter freedom to try. And fail.

Ariccia Italian Market
Ariccia Italian Market is a small Italian market and cafe located in downtown La Jolla that offers menu items like porchetta sandwiches (which I highly recommend), salads and soups. They also sell other Italian goods such as daily fresh made pasta, sauces, spices, macarons and more.
I'd actually been closely following the progress prior to its opening, but once it did open, I never seemed to have a chance to visit. I'm so glad I finally did and I only wish it hadn't taken me so long.
Once inside the market, I did feel like I was in Italy. Behind the glass display, there was their signature porchetta, other cuts of meat, fresh made pastas, and macarons from a local bakery.
There were also shelves with jams, spices, Nutella from Italy.
I made friends with this adorable dog who was obviously a regular. While her owner spoke on the phone, she went around trying to get pats and rubs from customers waiting in line. I was happy to oblige and quite sad when I had to leave her.
Porchetta sandwich
I had heard great reviews about Ariccia's porchetta sandwich and it did not disappoint. The ciabatta bread was warm and had a perfect crusty crunchy exterior. The inside was stuffed with a generous serving of thinly sliced house made porchetta. On top of the pork was a thin layer of baslamic onion marmalade and it was finished with arugula. I was worried the sweet marmalade might detract from the porchetta, but it was just the right amount. I loved every bite of this sandwich and my biggest regret is that I had to share with Mr. K as we only ordered one. We'll definitely be back for more.
We also picked up a half pound of their thick spaghetti and macarons for later.
At about $2 a piece, I thought the macarons were a tad on the pricey side but they had very intense flavors which I love.
Mr. K really loved this chandelier, made of little glass jars.
The owners and staff were super friendly. I absolutely loved my initial visit and am happy to see this place doing well. I can't wait for another visit.

10$ for a tiny glass of Nutella? Oh dear… O__°
I've heard great things about this place too. Was it hard to find parking? The porchetta looks incredible – I wonder if it's hard to replicate at home. And I can't believe it only takes 45-90 sec to cook their fresh pasta – I don't think I've ever bought fresh Italian pasta so this would be a nice place to visit to check it out.
Their fresh pasta prices are cheaper than Lisko's (I think it was $7 or $8 there).
Very cool chandelier!
Wow everything looks so delish! Definitely want to check this place out when I head down to SD. How did you like the texture of the macarons? Picture-wise, the macarons look scrumptious & they looks pretty big (in comparison to a standard macaron). And I can't wait to try out the porchetta sandwich!
Yum! When I went they didn't have a lot of stuff. I haven't tried their fresh pasts but I would be surprised if it was as good as my buddies from close to home, their pasta is amazing!
Well I know where I'm going for lunch this weekend…
Ooh, looks like they have a little bit of everything, nice! That porchetta sandwich looks great.
Porcetta is one of my favorite things and that sandwich looks amazing!

Blaise Pascal once wrote "I have made this a rather long letter because I haven't had time to make it shorter." This comment applies very well to this remarkable volume of correspondence between Freud and his pupil and friend Karl Abraham between 1907 and 1926. They had the time to write many short pithy letters and the editors, Hilda Abraham and Ernst Freud also labored to condense many others without loss of continuity and meaning. An unexpected reward is also in the introduction by Edward Glover, often a section passed over, but which, in this case, is almost a historical psychoanalytic essay on letter writing, a quiddity on Freud and Abraham, and a sound distillate of those significant years allowed by his position in psychoanalysis. In it he gives a brief outline of Abraham's career done with a fine touch and from the vantage point

Student Testimonial
RMSP > Student Testimonials
Robert Allison Montana
Career Training 2012
As a native of Montana I have known about RMSP for a long time. I have requested and thrown away my share of catalogs, but never really thought I would get an opportunity to attend. It wasn't until March of 2012 that I not only knew I was going; I knew nothing was going to stop me. What changed?
My father passed away.
I was settling his estate and cleaning his house when I came across his half painted canvas. Life is too short for half painted canvases and I had a few of my own to finish as well. I realized it was time to change my priorities. I had made a disastrous attempt to learn photography back in the days of film. With my new DLSR camera that I got as I gift I immediately started capturing images and tried to learn as much as I could. I liked what I saw, but knew something was missing. If I was going to love what I saw then I needed to make RMSP a priority.
I am still amazed that a place like RMSP even exists. It is hard to find the words to explain a place that treats you like an artist until you feel like one. RMSP is a place that values your work until you wake-up and realize your work does have value. I describe the program to my friends and family as a combination of creative incubator and a boot camp for photographers. It has put me on a solid path I only dreamt of a few months ago. I love my work, but is my work perfect? No, but it has improved 200%. RMSP taught me with photography you will never stop learning, so enjoy the ride and are never too old to start.
I entered the program wanting to learn more about photography. Not only did I accomplish that, but I learned about myself and have developed life long friends.

Texas health commish playing role in Parkland crisis talks, says "denial stage" over
Texas health commissioner Dr. David Lakey has become personally involved in local talks to ensure Parkland Memorial Hospital resolves its safety crisis and that patients continue to receive care in case it must close some or all of its operations, I have learned.
Lakey, the top watchdog for hospitals licensed by the Department of State Health Services, acknowledged in a conversation with The Dallas Morning News that it's rare for him to put his boots on the ground to address a single hospital's woes.
Normally, that's the job of his inspection teams.
But nothing about the circumstances surrounding Parkland is ordinary, he said.
One reason is that Parkland is among the few hospitals ever to enter into a "systems improvement agreement" with the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services after failing repeatedly to remedy threats to patient safety.
"It's only the fifth time CMS has had one of these agreements to walk the extra mile," he said
In Lakey's view, the problems require many agencies and institutions to face them head on.
"Obviously," he said, "Parkland plays a critical role in the delivery of health care and it has a long history as one of busiest safety net hospitals in the nation. The hospital is entrusted to care for a large number of patients and we're working very closely with Parkland and CMS to ensure accountability, to ensure it moves forward," he said.
David Tarrant and I reported on Sunday that government officials have been quietly coordinating a backup care plan for patients in case Parkland fails to prove it can stay in compliance with CMS regulations.
The hospital has until April 2013 to do so under the probationary period. But if it fails to show progress before then, CMS can move earlier to cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in healthcare funding.
Lakey, who has been a part of the contingency-plan discussions, declined to talk about specifics. But he said that stakeholders from many areas, including his agency and area hospitals, need to come together to avoid a potentially disastrous situation.
"Disastrous events do occur and you have to be prepared," he said. "It's not something a hospital like this itself can address (alone)."
Lakey's inspection teams, which have worked in tandem with CMS to flag life-threatening problems — from lax infection control to breakdowns in emergency care — have continued to investigate complaints at Parkland, he said.
The federal oversight process "doesn't replace our role as licensing agent," Lakey said. "We still have to look at all complaints, see if they're substantiated or not and then make sure we take appropriate steps."
His message to the public?
"It's our expectation that Parkland will provide safe care to everyone. Also: We now have the attention of Parkland and a commitment from Parkland's leadership and the board. We've moved past the denial phase and are moving toward solving the problem."
