Police: Man left scene of two crashes in two weeksMarch 28,2014Police: Man left
scene of 2 crashes
BENNINGTON A local man is facing two sets of criminal charges which accuse him of leaving the scene of an accident that caused property damage on Feb. 7 and then again on Feb. 20.
Charles T. Batease, 46, of Bennington, pleaded innocent to all the charges on Monday in Bennington criminal court. In both cases, he was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and in one of the cases he was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol.
In the Feb. 7 incident, police said Bateases truck was found abandoned on Route 279. The truck had apparently hit a highway sign and ripped it off its post.
Police said they tried to contact Batease on Feb. 7 and he didnt return the call until Feb. 8. According to police, Batease said he lost control of his truck around 11:15 p.m. on Feb. 7 because the drivers side tie rod broke.
The Feb. 20 incident also allegedly took place around 11:30 p.m. and also involved Batease allegedly leaving his truck after a crash. Police said the crash took place on Mechanic Street and that the truck hit a few mailboxes before being left in a ditch.
Police said Batease told them on Feb. 21 that he crashed because something broke on his truck.
Batease was released after his arraignment but he is under a court order that does not allow him to drive.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

Derbyshire overseas players Chanderpaul and Morkel plus Taylor are to represent the county side, which will be led by Kim Barnett and include the likes of Devon Malcolm, Adrian Rollins, Stephen Stubbings and Kevin Dean.
Barnett will face his former team-mate Chris Adams, who has been selected for the McGrath Foundation XI alongside McGrath himself, Darren Gough and Jason Gillespie.
Players and supporters will don pink-themed clothing to increase breast cancer awareness in young women, to support the UK Breast Cancer Care charity and to boost the McGrath Foundation's work in Australia.
A percentage of funds raised will also go to the Cricket Derbyshire Community Foundation, a new charity established to deliver cricket based sport, education and health projects to benefit the people of Derbyshire.
Cricket Derbyshire director of partnerships Ryan Duckett said: "This is a great opportunity for supporters to roll back the years and see the stars of yesteryear play for Derbyshire once again.
"And with so many international stars of the past and present in action, this really is an event not to be missed - and it's for a selection of excellent causes."
The hours of play are 6pm to 8:45pm. Advanced tickets are £15 for adults, £5 for juniors and children under five are free. Adult tickets on the day are £20 or £15 for a card-holding member of Derbyshire, £5 for juniors and children under fives are free. Car parking is £4 in advance and £5 on the day.

This awesome multi-media platform has worked its way from the original XBOX all the way to your Apple TV 2, and even your iPod Touch. Though installing XBMC is one of the easiest hacks to through on your jailbroken Apple product, getting XBMC set up correctly, and effectively, is a process that can take the better part of a year to learn, understand, and master. That is, until the release of the new XBMC HUB Wizard.

You know the story: p0sixninja left the Chronic Dev Team after selling iBoot 0day exploit to an (ex?)Apple employee (more details here). There was a lot of speculations on whether or not the iBoot exploit could have been used to jailbreak Apple TV 3.
Work on Apple TV 3 jailbreak is still in progress, according to FireCore. Although the company is working hard on this long-awaited jailbreak, the SeasOnPass and aTV Flash maker admitted on its blog that the jailbreak for Apple TV 3 "has proven to be a bit elusive up to this point."

Wondering how to watch live sport streaming on Apple TV? The answer is easy: XBMC, AirPlay, Mac/PC screen mirroring and, of course, native Apple TV sport apps. Finding football, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis, UFC, WWF, or anything else on your Apple TV can feel like and impossible task to anyone one who sits down and sees the limited options in Apple iOS interface, with its limited content partnerships. Though it looks bleak there is a very bright cloud to this quandary and that is the never-ending combination of features we can through at this magical little box.
We all know we can watch live sports online, but sometimes it's a right mission to get to where you want to go or find a good link to watch live sports right on the Apple TV. Well, this is where SportsDevil, an XBMC addon, comes into its own!
FireCore has just released a new version of Seas0nPass that provides an untethered jailbreak for Apple TV 2 5.0.1 (iOS) 5.0.1. The new Seas0nPass uses pod2g's untethered exploit and has been successfully tested by nitoTV. Most of the plugins, like XBMC, Plex, Media Player, nitoTV, Rowmote, Last.fm, Couch Surfer and Weather are currently supported on 5.0.1. Only Remote HD and Overflow are not yet working and require an author update for 5.0.1 compatibility.

Moving onto the other half of the board, there's again not much that has to be said here as most of it was covered in our preview coverage. The only thing we can really say is that the eight DDR3 DIMM slots are of course "Quad Channel", but really, while Intel wouldn't let us say that, everyone knew it.

Warm and sunny energy projects from The Sun Through the Trees (cover), ready to uplift and cheer a long winter's weary heart. Charles Burchfield (1893-1967), melancholic in personality for most of his life, experienced an epiphany of sorts in 1917, calling it his "Golden Year." The Sun Through the Trees is representative of his creative output during that magic time: a watercolor, bursting with the beauty of nature—stylized, though, in Burchfield's manner—depicting one of the painter's favorite themes. Following study at the Cleveland School of Art (now the Cleveland Institute of Art) until 1916, Burchfield spent a short time in New York City. There he abandoned, after one day, an appointment and a scholarship at the National Academy of Design; he returned to Salem, Ohio, where his mother and siblings resided. It was this rejection of opportunity in New York and, probably later, Paris—the chance that so many other young artists of the period optimized—that shaped Burchfield's quintessence as a purely American painter.

A year after I graduated high school I moved 4 states away from my parents and started school and my new life. The first couple years I would go home and visit for weeks and sometimes months at a time. Then I met DH we got pregnant and he deployed so I stayed at my parents during the entire "morning sickness festivities" he stayed deployed the duration of my pregnancy and a little after dd was born so we went and visited my parents a lot.
Now dd is almost 3 and my youngest sister is graduating high school this year and my parents are wanting to downsize. I don't blame them at all, no need for a huge house once all 5 kids are gone, but I can't help and be so sad about it.
My favorite dog is buried there, I grew up there, I feel like so much happened there. Also they're thinking of moving a few hours away from there so it's going to be weird "going home for the holidays"
Anyone else have this happen and although you can't blame your parents you still will miss your childhood home?

One of the attorneys who prosecuted the Jerry Sandusky child-abuse case said he found no evidence that former Pennsylvania State University football coach Joe Paterno participated in a cover-up of the allegations.
In an interview Wednesday night on the Showtime program 60 Minutes Sports, Frank Fina did say, however, that he believed other key Penn State officials had obstructed the investigation.
Attorneys for former Penn State Vice President Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley had sought an injunction in Dauphin County Court to stop the cable network from airing the interview with Fina and Joe McGettigan, who also prosecuted the case. They argued that broadcasting the interview would hinder Schultz's and Curley's rights to a fair trial.

Acer Aspire V5-572P-4416
Average of 1 scores (from 1 reviews)
Reviews for the Acer Aspire V5-572P-4416
Source: APC Mag
Is a touchscreen worth it on a budget laptop? If we had to accuse the Acer of anything bad, we would have to say it's a little boring, albeit in an affordable, practical Toyota Camry kind of way. Shopping online, the Acer can be found for under $600; at that price, it's an excellent buy.
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 08/08/2013
Rating: Total score: 80%
The Aspire V5 has a plastics body and is slimmer and with 2 kg also lighter than the competition. Acer has targeted users looking for a portable machine. In many aspects, this device is average in its class and does not stand out. The 15.6 inch capacitive touchscreen features a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and supports 10-point inputs, which is perfect for the pre-installed Windows 8. Colors are bright and crisp, and the viewing angles leave nothing to complain about. The full-sized chiclet keyboard with number pad offers a decent typing experience. In addition, it comes with an extra- large clickable touchpad with support for Windows 8 gestures.
Inside the Aspire V5 there is a 750GB hard drive, which is a decent amount of storage, and a 1.8GHz Intel Core i3-3217U ULV dual core processor. The performance is sufficient when compared to competitors of the same price range. It can handle light multimedia tasks easily, but is not suitable for hardcore gaming. But, casual social games are not a problem. Considering how thin and light the build is, battery life is a concern. Unfortunately, the Acer Aspire V5 fares much, much worse than the competition here. Overall, this is a good looking, well designed machine for an affordable price. Battery life is its main shortcoming, but if that's not an issue, the Acer Aspire V5 is great value.
Intel HD Graphics (Ivy Bridge): In the mobile Ivy Bridge Celeron and Pentium CPUs integrated processor graphics card. The HD Graphics is the slower, GT1 called, part with less execution units (EUs) and only one texture sampler - compared to the GT2 HD Graphics 4000.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

2117U: Ultra Low Voltage Dual-core processor based on the Ivy Bridge architecture with an integrated graphics card and dual-channel DDR3 memory controller. Due to the Pentium brand, many features of the Ivy Bridge core are deactivated.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
15-16 inch is a standard display size for laptops and offers the biggest variety of products.» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

Acer: Acer Incorporated is a Taiwanese multinational electronics manufacturer. Its product lineup includes desktops and laptops, as well as personal digital assistants (PDAs), servers and storage, displays, peripherals, and e-business services for business, government, education, and home users. Acer is the third largest computer manufacturer in the world (by sales) after HP and Dell Inc (2007). The company owns the largest franchised computer retail chain in Taipei, Taiwan. Originally named Multitech, it was founded in 1976. Gateway and Packard Bell are economically connected with Acer. Market share regarding sales of personal computers in 2007 (market research IDC): HP 18.9 %, Dell 16.4 %, Acer 9.9 %, Lenovo 7.5 %, Apple 5.7 %
80%: This rating is not convincing. The laptop is evaluated below average, this is not really a recommendation for purchase.

Carl Froch Very Excited: Returns To Sky Sports on June 4
By Terence Dooley
Carl Froch defends his WBC super-middleweight title against Glen Johnson in Atlantic City on June 4th. Sky TV have confirmed that they will broadcast the fight live from the famous Boardwalk Hall venue. Froch, 27-1 (20), has signed a five fight promotional deal with Matchroom Sport, he confirmed his return to Sky Sports when speaking on their Ringside show earlier tonight.
"It is great to be back on Sky. Hopefully the acclaim will come. It has been very frustrating. I'm looking ahead, moving forward, this fight is on Sky and the future is looking positive," enthused Froch as he set the scene for Showtime's Super Six semifinal showdown with Johnson, 51-14-2 (35).
"They call him the 'Road Warrior' because he fights everyone and anyone. He's been beaten a few times but only mixes in world class company. I've got a feeling that it will be like hitting an old oak tree. I'm going to jab and move. Hit and don't get hit back using my long reach and work rate at range. It is my job to use my boxing ability to make the night's work as easy as possible."
Froch dusted off his boxing skills when posting a point's win over Arthur Abraham last November - his jab, ring generalmanship and movement proving too much for the Germany-based brawler. 'The Cobra' had lost his 0 via a split-decision earlier in the year after a fierce battle with Mikkel Kessler. The 33-year-old knew he had to bounce back emphatically against Abraham, who fights Andre Ward in the other semi. Saying, "I knew I had to make a statement. I put the hard work in training and executed the plan perfectly on the night. I corrected the loss to Kessler by beating Abraham to become two time WBC champion."
Mick Hennessy, Froch's former promoter, managed to keep his charge on the air following the loss of Hennessy Sport's ITV deal. Carl, though, believes that spots on Primetime PPV and Premier Sports did not provide the platform or profile needed at this crucial point in his career. "It goes back to marketing, representation and promotion, you say slipping under the radar but I'm fighting on Showtime and just haven't had the representation in England but that is going to change," said Froch when asked if he is underexposed on these shores.
"I'm very excited and optimistic now I'm on Sky TV. I've had five fights on the spin against top level fighters. They have been world class fights but in terms of hard fights you've got [Andre] Dirrell running and holding for twelve rounds but I did what I had to do to beat him. I had a hard fight against Kessler and Jermain Taylor but it wasn't an Arturo Gatti or Barrera-Morales type fight. I've been able to have my breathers. I don't come out of the ring looking like Rocky Balboa did in Rocky 1," his response to questions over his longevity.
"Rather than give myself years I give myself fights, and think I've got a hard five fights in me. Johnson, Andre Ward, a rematch with Kessler or [Jean] Pascal, a fight with Lucian Bute. You've also got guys coming through on these shores like George Groves and DeGale, [Nathan] Cleverly is fighting [WBO light-heavyweight title holder Jeurgen] Braehmer in a couple of weeks. I'm looking at that, definitely. There are big fights on both side of the Atlantic for me."

|Kevin Garnett says Leandro Barbosa's season over after knee injury
|02.11.13 at 11:11 pm ET
The Celtics endured a dual setback on Monday night, losing 94-91 to Charlotte and also seeing guard Leandro Barbosa exit the game due to a non-contact injury to his left knee. Barbosa had to be carried off the floor in order to keep weight off the knee.
While coach Doc Rivers told reporters that Barbosa's injury "doesn't look great," he also said the team would know his diagnosis more precisely after an examination on Tuesday. Teammate Kevin Garnett, however, suggested that the initial prognosis for Barbosa was ominous.
"It's tough, man. It's tough all the way around," Garnett told reporters. "You work with these guys and all of a sudden you see a season-ending injury. We're grinding right now, on top of a back-to-back emotional game. Tonight was a very tough game."
Barbosa did not talk to reporters after the game. He reportedly left the locker room under his own power but limping.
The 30-year-old Barbosa, who signed with the Celtics in October, entered Monday averaging 5.3 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while averaging 12 minutes a night. However, he'd emerged as an increasingly important contributor in the aftermath of the injury to Rajon Rondo, scoring 8.7 points with 2.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists in an average of 22 minutes per game in the seven contests without Rondo.
|Celtics run out of steam in loss to Bobcats
|02.11.13 at 9:39 pm ET
An exhausted Celtics team, coming off a triple-overtime triumph over the Nuggets on Sunday night, ran out of steam down the stretch in Charlotte on Monday night, falling 94-91. The loss halted Boston's season-long winning streak at seven games.
The Celtics entered the fourth-quarter down by three, but managed to surge ahead by four late in the fourth quarter. However, the Bobcats bounced back with a late 7-0 run that included a 20-foot jumper by Ramon Sessions from the top of the key with 25 seconds remaining to give the Bobcats the a 92-91 lead. After a missed 3-point attempt by Kevin Garnett, Kemba Walker hit a pair of free throws to put Charlotte up by three. Paul Pierce and Avery Bradley then missed potential game-tying 3-point attempts in the waning seconds of the game to seal the Celtics' first defeat since losing Rajon Rondo.
Byron Mullens led Charlotte with 25 points and 18 rebounds. Jeff Green led the Celtics with 18 points, while Kevin Garnett delivered a double-double, scoring 16 and collecting 13 rebounds. Paul Pierce, meanwhile, scored 13 with eight boards and eight assists.
In the loss, Celtics guard Leandro Barbosa suffered a non-contact injury to his left knee in the third quarter that required him to be carried into the Celtics locker room. He did not return.
|Danny Ainge on Big Show: Not trading Pierce and Garnett 'by far the most likely thing'
|02.08.13 at 2:23 am ET
Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, in his weekly appearance on The Big Show, said that he considers it unlikely that he will deal either Kevin Garnett or Paul Pierce prior to the NBA trading deadline. Ainge said that stance reflected in part on the fact that the age of the two players likely has made them more valuable in the eyes of the Celtics than they would be with another team.
"I think by far it's the most likely thing," Ainge said when asked if keeping both players was an outcome that he expected. "Because I've been doing this for 10 years, with this group of guys for the last couple years, I don't see that much changing. There aren't a lot of times that are trying to pursue players of KG's and Paul's age. We value them more than other teams.
"There are so many teams that are trying to get younger. There are so many teams that are trying to rebuild. There are so many teams that are trying to get higher draft picks already. I just think that where we value them as players is just greater than the rest of the league, which I think is common for players that age."
Ainge did say that he he would have direct conversastions with either Pierce or Garnett if he entertained the idea of trading them — in part because their contracts give them leverage to limit deals.
"First of all, Paul has been here his whole career and he's a franchise player, plus he has what's called a trade kicker in his contract, where he would get an increased amount of pay," he said. "KG has a no-trade clause in his contract. He can veto any trade anyway, so of course we'd talk to him."

|Report: Clippers interested in trading for Kevin Garnett
|02.03.13 at 3:08 pm ET
According to Sean Deveney of Sporting News, the Clippers have reached out to the Celtics about potentially acquiring Kevin Garnett.
Sources tell Sporting News that the #Clippers have contacted the #Celtics about Kevin Garnett. Offer would include Caron Butler and Beldsoe.
' Sean Deveney (@SeanDeveney) February 3, 2013
Garnett does have the right to waive the no-trade clause in his contract.
The two Clippers players mentioned in the report, Bledsoe and Butler, are each average approximately nine points per game. The Clips' point guard signed through the 2014-15 season (maxing out at just more than $3.75 million), while Butler's deal stretches until after the '13-14 campaign (paying him $8 million per season). The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 21 at 3 p.m. ET.
|Reports: Celtics meet with center Greg Oden
|02.02.13 at 8:09 pm ET
According to multiple reports, the Celtics met with Greg Oden in Boston on Saturday as part of an informational exchange with the free agent center. However, with Oden having stated that he is targeting a return to the NBA in 2013-14, the meeting was described as an opportunity for the two sides to talk without any expectation of a deal being imminent.
"We wanted to talk to Greg to see where he is physically," Ainge said.
The 7-footer was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2007, but he played just 82 games for Portland after sitting out his rookie year with the first of multiple knee injuries. He last played on December 5th of 2009.
The fact Oden is still drawing strong interest from teams despite his medical history is a testament to his talent. He had five double-doubles — including a 13-point, 20-rebound night — in the 21 games he played before being injured in his last year.
"We're just finding out as much as we can and letting Greg know what we have here," Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge told the Boston Herald. "He's not ready to play now, but he's someone who's very interesting." Read the rest of this entry »

Georgia finally received some good news from the standardized testing front.
In defiance of gloomy predictions, more than 90 percent of third-graders met the state's mandatory reading standards - a requirement for advancing to the next grade. While not nearly a mission accomplished yet, state education officials had estimated more than a quarter of students could fail the reading section of the Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Test.
So, after learning the estimated passing rate was overly pessimistic last week, school leaders across the state were ebullient.
With months of hard work and extra effort, they bucked the odds. More than 100,000 students are breathing sighs of relief and preparing for the fourth grade.
Despite three years of planning and preparation, students, parents and educators were understandably nervous about the reading test. After all, this single bench mark could determine the academic future of tens of thousands of Georgia students.
This was the state's first brush with true high-stakes testing, but more are to come. Ultimately, all third-, fifth- and eighth-graders must pass standardized reading tests to be promoted to the next grade.
Like the state, Clarke County third-graders also had better-than-expected results on this year's test. While 30 percent were predicted to fall short of the reading requirement, in the end, all but 17 percent met the standard.
Reviewing the performance of certain subgroups, especially those which historically struggle with standardized tests, offers even more encouraging signs.
Minority students still scored below their white counterparts overall, but the achievement gap did narrow on this test. Compared to the 2002 results, black and Hispanic third-graders both had a 10 percent increase in their passage rates - 87 percent and 81 percent respectively.
Even more impressive were the gains among special education students this year. In 2002, 55 percent of special education students met the reading standards. This year, 74 percent passed.
State schools Superintendent Kathy Cox attributed the improved scores to an early intervention program, additional days for classroom instruction and a greater emphasis on reading beginning in kindergarten.
Clarke County School Superintendent Lewis Holloway credited the county's improvement on its quarterly student assessment system which allows teachers to monitor students' progress, pinpoint strengths and weaknesses and adjust instruction accordingly.
Those third-graders who proved their reading skills on this test - and the teachers who helped them along the way - deserve our praise. But the remaining students - roughly 11,000 across the state - whose promotion to the fourth grade is now in jeopardy, demand our full attention.
These students will attend an intense, three-week summer school session, then take the test again. Failing to meet the reading standards for a second time, likely will mean a repetition of the third grade.
As one educator pointed out, the statewide improvement in reading scores means little to students who fell short and now face a daunting future.
To them, the failure rate is 100 percent.

Mayan Hot Cocoa
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 20 mins
Inspired by the movie, "Chocolat"! Cocoa was used by the Aztec and Mayan as a sacred drink. It was brewed with various spices and drank unsweetened as part of ceremonies. This recipe uses pure cocoa and several spices, including chili peppers. The flavor is very rich and aromatic, like a dark perfume. Experiment with the sweetness to your liking.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 cups milk
- 1⁄2 cup cocoa powder (I used the Dutch brand, Droste)
- 1 teaspoon flour or 1 teaspoon Wondra Flour
- 1⁄4 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 3 whole cloves, crushed
- 1⁄4 teaspoon chili pepper, crushed
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken up
- 2 teaspoons powdered sugar
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water) (optional) or 1 teaspoon Wondra Flour (dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water) (optional)
- Sift the cocoa powder and flour.
- Measure out 4 cups of milk. From the 4 cups of milk, slowly whisk about 1/4 cup of it, a little more if necessary, into the cocoa/flour mix until it becomes a paste. If you add milk too fast, you get clumpy cocoa. If that happens, use a hand blender to smooth it out.
- When all the cocoa and flour are a paste (no more dry flour,) add the remaining spices (sugar, nutmeg, cloves, peppers, and cinnamon).
- Heat the rest of the 4 cups of milk in a double-boiler or a saucepan over medium.
- Add the cocoa/flour/spices mix to the hot milk in the double-boiler. Stir constantly to keep it from burning.
- If you prefer a slightly thicker drink, you can add the optional cornstarch/water mixture now. Continue stirring on the heat until it's to your desired thickness. Not too long; you don't want to be forced to use a knife and fork. ;D.
- When the cocoa is ready (it takes about 10-15 minutes until the flavor and heat level are *just right*), strain the cocoa in a fine sieve to remove the cloves and cinnamon pieces. (Careful, it could splatter - I found out last night. *grrr*) Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla and stir.
- If you like, you can put whipped cream on top, add small marshmallows, or add a stick of cinnamon for stirring.

Oh yeah - this is great stuff! I don't like my cocoa too thick so I didn't use the optional cornstarch. I used crushed red pepper flakes and it made for a great combination of sweet and spice that was perfect with the rich chocolate. Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for the Comfort Cafe Event, January 2010
I have making this recipe for a long time and it's my evening "fix". It's the perfect balance of chocolate, spice, heat, and sweet. I use less sugar and usually use Splenda. The cloves are a definitive must. Thanks for posting!
Welllll, I'm giving this four stars instead of five, but I think the fault might be my own. I took chili pepper to mean cayenne pepper, but drinking it like this makes me think that i should have used a chunk of actual dried chili pepper. The cayenne overwhelms quite a bit. Still tasty, just overwhelming. Here's to hoping my years of spicy food eating have fortified me against the sort of heartburn that comes with drinking 1/16 tsp cayenne pepper! I will definitely make and review this again with a different form of pepper.

How to Maximize Your Thrift Store Shopping
Thrift store shopping is a great way to save money, especially on big-ticket items like winter coats or furniture. But walking into a Goodwill or Salvation Army can be overwhelming if you don't have a gameplan. Racks of random shirts, mismatched plates and glasses, piles of books – it's a lot to process all at once.
Don't panic – there is in fact a strategy to thrift store shopping.
With a little preparation, you can maximize your second-hand store visits. Here are five secrets to getting the most out of your trips to the thrift store:
Shop when the seasons change.
Your most successful trips to the thrift store will happen when the flowers start to bloom or when the leaves start to change color. Spring and Fall are the times of year when people everywhere start cleaning and reorganizing their housewares and wardrobes, taking stock in things like sweaters that don't fit or chinaware they don't need. When the seasons change, thrift shops will likely get inundated with new items to pick from – and it's the right time to go shopping.
Shop often.
The beauty (and the frustration) of thrift store shopping is that each item is unique; you'll be hard-pressed to find the same article of clothing anywhere else in the store. At the same time, you usually won't be able to get the same t-shirt in a different size if it's not already the perfect fit. This can make thrift store shopping feel like a treasure hunt where you find gold or a complete let-down if you can't seem to find any gems in your size. The secret to increasing your odds to finding thrift store treasures is visit the thrift store more frequently than you would a normal department store. With an ever-changing selection, shopping often will increase your odds of finding something incredible.
Check Your Credit:
Don't Guess. Know.® Get your free credit report and score. No credit card required.
Keep up with in-store sales.
Some thrift stores will offer weekly sales on what are already heavily-discounted gently-used items. Goodwill, for example, will often mark down their prices during the middle of the week on specific clothing items, like blouses or pants. By keeping track of regular sales at your favorite second-hand shop you can turn a money-saving trip to the thrift store into a legitimate shopping spree.
Bring in something used whenever you plan to shop.
If you're heading to the thrift store for some shopping, it's a good idea to find something in your house or your closet to donate while you're there. Not only do regular donations literally keep thrift stores in business, but you'll feel like you've accomplished something on your trip, even if you end up walking out of the store without having bought anything.
Be prepared to walk away with nothing.
There will be occasions where you'll spend an hour in a thrift store and walk out with nothing. It might feel disappointing, but don't get disheartened. If you shop often and always bring in something to donate when you make a trip to the thrift store (tip #2 and tip #4), you can maximize your chances of feeling like your trip was worthwhile.

The East African nation of Kenya has an estimated population of 46.1 million, which increases by one million a year. With support of the World Bank Group (WBG), International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other development partners, Kenya has made significant structural and economic reforms that have contributed to sustained economic growth in the past decade. Development challenges include poverty and inequality, and vulnerable of the economy to internal and external shocks.
Political Context
Devolution is rated the biggest gain from the August 2010 constitution, which ushered in a new political and economic governance system. It is transformative and has strengthened accountability and public service delivery at local levels. The government's agenda is to deepen implementation of devolution and strengthen governance institutions, while addressing other challenges including land reforms and security to improve economic and social outcomes, accelerate growth and equity in distribution of resources, and reduce extreme poverty and youth employment.
Kenya's growth is projected to rise to 5.9% in 2016 and 6.1 % in 2017. The positive outlook is predicated on infrastructure investments. Fiscal consolidation is expected to ease pressure on domestic interest rates and increase credit uptake by the private sector. The contraction in the current account deficit will continue to be supported by declining commodity prices and rising exports of tea.
Sound monetary policy restored stability in the currency markets and contained the 12-month average overall inflation at 6.6% in December 2015. The Central Bank effectively managed currency volatility and running down Forex reserves to cushion the shilling. So, the Kenya shilling stabilized, and the depreciation moderated in comparison to other regional currencies.
Low commodity prices had a net positive impact in Kenya in 2015. The gains through low oil prices and the rising earnings from tea have offset the loss in earnings from other exports (coffee and horticulture). As a result, the current account deficit contracted from 10.4% to 7.1% of GDP.
According to the October 2015 Kenya Economic Update, Kenya is poised to be among the fastest growing economies in Eastern Africa. Besides, the 2016 Country Economic Memorandum says that Kenya's growth prospects will depend a lot on Innovation, Oil, and Urbanization on the long term.
Social Developments
Kenya has met a few of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) targets, including reduced child mortality, near universal primary school enrolment and narrower gender gaps in education. Interventions and increased spending on health and education are paying dividends. Devolved health care and free maternal health care at all public health facilities will improve health care outcomes and develop a more equitable health care system.
Development Challenges
Kenya has the potential to be one of Africa's great success stories from its growing and youthful population, a dynamic private sector, a new constitution, and its pivotal role in East Africa. Addressing challenges of poverty, inequality, governance, low investment and low firm productivity to achieve rapid, sustained growth rates that will transform the lives of ordinary citizens, will be a major goal for the country.

AUSTIN (AP) - The state Board of Education Friday denied the appeal of the Emma L. Harrison Charter School of Waco, which was stripped of its charter in July.
With no discussion, the board unanimously rebuffed the school's motion for rehearing.
Board chair Chase Untermeyer said it was the school's final appeal.
"This is nothing we did with particular joy," said Untermeyer. "We believe in the charter school movement. We would like to see more charter schools open."
The Emma L. Harrison campus is the first such school to have its charter revoked.
Officials from the East Waco Community Center, which runs the school, have said state education officials neglected their obligation to help the school even after it was clear that it had financial difficulties.
They also have alleged the school was discriminated against because it is African-American operated, is in an economically distressed area of Waco and serves at-risk youngsters.

Mr. Big Shot Billups. Either he'll make the game-winning shot or make the pass that leads to it.
I was watching the Mike D show yesterday and this question was asked He said he will always put the ball in Billups hands and let him make the decision... makes since because this a point guard centric offensive but if you were the coach who would you give it to? I never knew Amare was clutch until he got to the knicks but i personally would give it to Melo he has always shown he as that innate clutch gene...just wish he would stop driving to the lane and just pop for a mid range jumper
Mr. Big Shot Billups. Either he'll make the game-winning shot or make the pass that leads to it.
Sons of Thunder took the words right out of my mouth. Well played man.
This is nothing like the Miami situation. Wade is the only real closer they have. Bosh is no where near being a closer & LeBron fails under 10 seconds time & time again. This is a great problem to have, because all 3 are proven closers. Amare really came on strong as a potential closer this season as our leader. If ONLY there were .2 of a second left on the clock... Amare would have closed out the Celtics with the game winning 3. Also hit a huge 3 for us last night. As far as iso goes? I want the rock in Carmelo's hands all day.
I wouldn't doubt 'Melo either in winning a game for us, everyone is saying he can't finish after the Offensive Foul last night- But the stats actually show that he is the most clutch player over the last couple of years when it comes to nailing game winning shots.
Either Chauncey or Melo I am confident with.
Both Melo and Billups know how to get it donw
Billups ! He has experience and has the patience and experience to be calm enough to take those big shots..He has a ring something that none of these guys have.
Billups or stat they both are clutch stat with 3 yesterday and the 3 that should have counted against the celdicks
I wouldnt mind any of the Big 3 having the ball in they're hands in the final seconds. Depending on matchups, whichs make our offense so versatile. 9 time out of 10 just let billups run the play, he's probably gonna get it to melo
I just want the ball in Billups' hands. He'll know what to do with it.
Orange and blue, yesterday, today, and tomorrow...
Just heard on the radio the other day and they claim that Mello has the highest shooting percentage in the nba with less than 24seconds left in the game at 47%
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
Give Billups the ball and trust him, whether he takes the shot or passes it to Melo. There are stats to back up that Melo is the best clutch player in the NBA (go look it up if you don't believe me) and Chauncey...well, look what he's done for Detroit and Denver.
I'd want Billups to have the ball in his hands @ the end of a game. Depending on what kind of night he or Melo is having, I'd want either of the two to take the last shot.
This is why we brought melo in to do this abviously he isnt shhoting well right now but soon when he doesnt care about the MSG media/ crowd on his every move and feels like he owns the garden we will see him demand for the ball and take games over.
Melo has more buzzer beating shots than anyone in the NBA since he was drafted in '03. I'll take him or Billups shooting the game winner, but there's no legit argument against either.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.

Having bought these after experiencing severe earache from other bus users, I nipped into my local store and bought these for my iPod. for £14.99 these weren't too bad, when I got home I tested them out on my computer with the speakers.

Everyone's slate is wiped clean, renewal is in the air. The Brewers have the same record as the Astros, the Tigers are even with the Yankees, and Pat Burrell has as many home runs as Barry Bonds. It can't stay that way, of course, but for the next six weeks it is all peaches and cream. And it all starts with the phrase, "pitchers and catchers report."
It means that spring isn't far behind. It means that summer is closing in. Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day are all spent at baseball parks. Fans go to see their favorite teams at Spring Training in Florida and Arizona, where it's summer year-round and the mood is laid back and carefree.
My wife, a patient woman if ever there was one, was raised a fan of football and basketball. She was among the cheering throng that met the 1977 Sixers at the airport during the finals against the Portland Trail Blazers. She was among a group of finalists trying out to be an Eagles cheerleader in 1979. She had no room in her life for the boring sport of baseball.
Her curse is that she ended up marrying a man tied to the sport. She has bore two sons that may, in fact, be baseball prodigies (allow a father to dream.) Her springs and summers are now filled with the crack of the bat and the pop of the mitt. The "boring" sport has become her livelihood, and even she has come to understand the magnitude of the phrase "pitchers and catchers report."
Baseball is still the American pastime. Football may have surpassed baseball in popularity, but not in what it means to the country. After 9/11, it was baseball, and President Bush throwing out the first pitch in Yankee stadium, that framed the U.S. response to the Al Qaida attacks. "We will not falter, we will not fail…" Indeed.
Take any of the other sports. When do they start? Sure you've got a general idea, but there's no description. Training camp? Whatever that means. But say the words "pitchers and catchers report" and everyone knows what you are talking about. Do they talk about the arrival of quarterbacks and receivers in football? No. Do they talk about point guards and centers in basketball? No. But everyone understands "pitchers and catchers report."
When it comes to nailing down seasons on a calendar, there is nothing as descriptive as "pitchers and catchers report." Even if you have never experienced the thrill of that first rusty throw after a winter of inactivity. Even if you have never been close enough to a major league field to hear the "zzzzz" of the stitching as a 90-mile-per-hour fastball is released from a phenom's grip. Even if you have never heard the pop of the mitt, the chatter from the dugout, or the sweet "thwack" of a batting practice pitch driven into the gap. If you are a baseball fan you understand the magnitude, the meaning, the hope and the promise of the phrase. Today is the day; say it with me in unison: "pitchers and catchers report." Hallelujah!

WICKED LOVELY by Melissa Marr
Faerie: Book 1
Published: 2007
Paperback: 328 pages
Genre: Urban Fantasy
"The Summer King knelt before her."
She takes hold of a staff. Then she freezes. But who freezes? And why do we care? Because the story involves a prophecy and the Summer King is desperate to fulfill it.
There are three rules when dealing with faeries. Aislinn knows them by heart.
Rule #3: Don't stare at invisible faeries.
Rule #2: Don't speak to invisible faeries.
Rule #1: Don't ever attract their attention.
If they're invisible, why bother? Because Aislinn can see Them. It's a family secret. One that killed her mother, leaving Aislinn to be raised by her cautious Gram. But faeries are pretty and frolicky, right? Wrong. They are cruel, twisted, and take great pleasure in tormenting anything within their grasp. The rules are set to protect those rare humans who can see them. But when the rules fail her, Aislinn finds herself stalked, trying to keep herself safe along with her loved ones. Meanwhile, the inevitability of faery fate is closing in on her. Along with the frozen girl.
I had never even heard of this book until I read Dear Author's Irresistible Review. (I loved the letter format for this review! Very clever.) Actually, I found the review for INK EXCHANGE (the sequel) and tracked back to WICKED LOVELY. It's a round-a-bout way to find a book, but hey. It worked. I hadn't gotten around to reading this book, but when I needed something for the latest trip to the Beach House, I picked it up. Hence, I read this book in chunks. It made it difficult to get into the full flow of the story; I wasn't ever really drawn into this book like I wanted to be.
The plot is simple and straightforward. Each chapter's mood is set by a quote from fairy lore. I enjoyed the unique setting for this fairy story. I like the idea of myth seeping into our modern sensibilities.
Faeries have always fascinated me. Even the scary ones. Faeries like this:
"A doe-eyed faery eased across the room; bone-thin with too many joints, she was vulgar and gorgeous all at once. Her eyes were far too large for her face, giving her a startled look. Combined with an emaciated body, those eyes made her seem vulnerable, innocent. She wasn't.
None of them are."
The characters were intriguing. Aislinn's transition from shy, slightly fearful teenager to a negotiating figure-of-note was believable, especially with the support of her Seth.
I found Seth's piercings and tattoos fun, but I got bored with the constant reference to them. As a reader, I want to be trusted to notice details and work them into my image of the character. I don't want to be hit over the head with those details every time a character is mentioned.
That said, the steamy tension between Aislinn and Seth was well done (little gestures of hands and brushings of the hair…very sweet), but I was a wee bit disappointed with its fulfillment. In fact, I was totally yanked out of the story when Seth pulled out those medical papers. I actually laughed. I know being tested is a courtesy now-a-days, but sheesh. Not my idea of romantic. The testing I don't find off-putting so much as the need to be tested. Why risk being exposed so often?
Anyway. Moving on. Keenan and Donia's stories were a cool part of this book. In fact, Donia is my favorite character. Her choices and sensibilities lend a sense of hope and sacrifice, adding depth to the story.
There were lots of personalities, intertwining and maneuvering for power. Combined with the unique view of faery lore and a wee bit of mystery, this was a fun, distracting read. While not the best book I've ever read, it served its purpose. I was entertained. Enough so that I'm picking up the sequel today.
