Curse and WoWInterface working together to help protect our authors and other site-users
Recently Curse and WoWInterface got together to come up with a solution for an ongoing problem. The problem in question is WowMatrix. The reasons they are a problem are many:
- WowMatrix violates author copyright and intellectual property rights:
- They redistribute addons without authors' permissions;
- When they first started they would scrape the legimate sites for addons then upload them to their own site in addition to deep-linking from the sites;
- They edited authors' files to remove donation requests and links to their home sites, etc.; and
- They have failed on many occasions to honour authors' requests to remove addons from their application;
- In a lot of cases the files served to users have been many versions out of date. This leads to authors having users complain about bugs, bugs that were fixed days or weeks ago in versions that are available on the legitimate sites, causing problems for both the authors and for the end-users;
- Until the community raised a hue and cry, WowMatrix didn't even supply the authors' names as to who wrote the addon, let alone provide a link to where the addon was legitimately hosted;
- WowMatrix leeches from the legitimate hosting sites without permission, let alone compensation. Originally, they scraped our sites so they could upload addons to their own site without permission, in addition to deeplinking from our sites. They have finally stopped hosting the addons on their own site, but they still deeplink from our sites, using our resources to run their program. Curse and WoWInterface use a lot of bandwidth every month which costs a lot of money. The way we pay our bills is through site ads, which are directly dependent on users viewing them, and premium memberships. WowMatrix bypasses our download pages, and, as a result, people are not viewing the ads. Of course, this means the ads aren't generating any revenue to pay for the bandwidth. At the rate they were going, if they were allowed to continue using our resources without any compensation, they were going to drive us right out of business. Not only are they stealing our bandwidth and preventing us from being able to recoup that loss, they also have their own ads all over their site and application. They are directly profiting from the stolen bandwidth; and
- Due to the massive resource drains they put on our sites, we have all experienced heightened loads and weaker performance, especially on patch days. During those days they download so much from our sites that sometimes we have a hard time keeping up to the demands; thus causing legitimate users to experience problems accessing our sites. That's just flat out unacceptable.
For months now, both sites and multiple authors have been trying to come up with solutions to the problems caused by WowMatrix. However, WowMatrix just keeps ignoring authors' requests to remove their addons from their application, working around the protections we have put in place, and proving repeatedly that they have no intention of ever becoming responsible, legitimate members of the community. Instead, they choose to continue to leech off the community. Well we, Curse and WowInterface, have gotten together and between us we believe we may have found a solution to prevent them from pulling authors' addons from our sites to redistribute without permission and stealing our bandwidth any longer. Unfortunately we cannot release details on the solution, so as to keep it viable.
"Yeah yeah yeah, blah blah, get to the important question: What does this mean for me, your sites' user?" For the majority of users it should be completely transparent, you should not notice any difference whatsoever, other than improved site responsiveness during patch days. We hope that we will be able to revert the changes made to our sites eventually, if WowMatrix ever stops violating authors' copyright and ceases stealing our bandwidth and other resources.
If you were previously using WowMatrix to keep your addons updated, please use our official updaters (Curse, WoWInterface). You may also mark addons as favorites on both WoWInterface and Curse in order to be alerted when they are updated.

Sorry - I sympathize to a certain degree with your plight, but if you had not screwed up so royally time and time again over the years people would not have been compelled to seek out WowMatrix as an alternative. The bottom line, as a user, is that I have a right to choose whichever web client I want to download my addons - whether that be Firefox, IE, or WowMatrix. WowMatrix simplifies the task and does it well. WowMatrix is my choice. That is how a free Internet works and nothing Curse/WowAce does will change that. If Curse/WowAce dies because of its inability to pay for bandwidth then so be it. That is the risk that you take when you open up shop on the internet.
Time and time again you have shown that you were not up to the task of handling the massive load volumes around patch days. This is not a problem caused by WowMatrix, but by the sheer popularity of the addons and to bad website design on your part. Now you are holding the users of WowMatrix hostage. Don't think you won't feel a backlash from you actions!!!

lordlitwicki: Now... I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, since I don't recall if it was said in this thread or not, but I will still say this just in case: please read up on the issue. WoWI and Curse tried to contact them. They ignored us. Authors tried to contact them. They either got ignored, the run-around, or slow actions. Finally Curse sat down with them (as much as one can "sit down" on the internet) and tried to work out a deal. WowMatrix countered their deal with something preposterous and insulting, and when Curse refused that, WM ignored everyone again.

The truth is Wow Matrix was and still is the best WOW add on updater by far. I understand they may have done some unethical things but the program was excellent, update all your add ons in one place not to mention it didn't crash all the time, or not find half of your add ons. Instead of fighting them curse/wowInterface et all should come to an agreement to work with them because they got the client right that is for sure, it's way better than curse or wow interface's clients. Honestly this little war is BS and is doing nothing but hurt the WOW community.

You know, I really don't care about this little war. I've never even been to the WM site, I don't use their software any more then I would use that laughable PoS Curse Client, but I'm really getting tired of people who clearly don't know the first thing about legal issues accusing them of criminal actions. Put up — if they're engaged in criminal activities then report them to the appropriate authorities — or shut up. Just running around saying "they're thieves because I say so!" or calling them "downright criminal" is irresponsible in the extreme, absurd under the circumstances, and in some cases potentially actionable.
For god's sake, learn the bloody difference between criminal law and civil law, would you people, please?

It's simply amazing...
The level of ignorance regarding intellectual property rights, the lack of comprehension of a websites' business model, the total arrogance of some people expecting everything handed to them on a silver platter without an ounce of effort put in on their part. It truly is astonishing.
WoWMatrix is unethical at best, to downright criminal. Distribution rights need to be granted for intellectual property. Violating a license that needs to be agreed to as part of a distribution agreement is a violation of law.

If you're one of the many WM users who say, "Okay, yes, what WM does isn't very ethical, BUT..." - what in world could possibly follow after that "BUT" that justifies its use? Generally, it's "BUT WowMatrix is the best updater there is, and updating 'by hand' isn't convenient." Are you really so willing to sell your principles down the river for convenience?

The 4 of 48 addons thing is because Wowmatrix strips info from the addon files and so the "fingerprint" of the files doesn't match anything the Curse Client knows automatically.

While I completely agree with your effort to block WowMatrix, I have to say that I still use WowMatrix because it's the best addon updater I've found so far. The only reason I use it is because it updates absolutely all addons I use, no matter where they come from (well, almost).
If the Curse Client did the same in a just as elegant and unobtrusive way as WowMatrix, I'd use that instead. But the Curse client doesn't, so I don't. It's only recently become available for Mac as well, so for a long time, WowMatrix has actually been my only (good) choice.
Opening the Curse Client on my computer now, it shows me a total of 4 addons I can update with it. WowMatrix shows me 48. So yea, I agree that what WowMatrix does is despicable, but unfortunately it's the only really great option available for automatic addon updating. I really despise it, but that's the reality.

I think what it comes down to is:
What WowMatrix it trying to trying to do (provide a one-stop place for all addons, with a client that updates accurately and painlessly) isn't a bad thing... it's how they're going about it that's a problem.
Curse.com, curseforge.com, and Wowace.com combined to a LOT MORE than just provide addons to users. They provide a community for developers. I'm an addon author, and without the help of wowace.com's developer community I probably would never have gotten mine up and running. Curseforge gives me a place to host / manage my addon and trouble tickets, and Curse.com provides the hosting and provides my addon to a wide audience.
All of these things are doing a lot to enable me to provide a useful addon free of charge to the WoW user community.
My addon is rather niche in its appeal, and very few people would mourn its passing if it went buh-bye, but I can't help but to think that a lot of other addon authors... ones who write the addons that so many of us just couldn't live without (Omen, HelBot, X-Perl, Decursive, Bagnon, Mapster, and Auctioneer are my MUST-HAVE's) ... probably also get the same support and benefit from the community (I can't speak for the wowinterface community cuz I never really participated there, but my assumption is that they're more than just a place to cram yer addon files).
As a WoW player, I religiously check curse for updates, and I make it a point to occasionally donate to the developers. As a an addon author, I truly appreciate how much the addon sites and communities do.
ciara1013 said it and I agree: the sense of entitlement of the wider addon user base is really astonishing.

Serial211 says: "if your sites didnt suck with stupid adds all over the place you would have never had the problem in the first place. try cleaning up the site and remove the annoying adds and banners all over the place and watch traffic come back directly to your site."
...Epic, epic fail. You obviously have no understanding of anything on the internet. Do you have any idea what advertisements are? You fail to realize that ads PAY FOR THE SITE. THAT'S THE POINT OF THEM. THEY'RE THERE SO IT STAYS FREE TO ACCESS AND USE.
It's exactly like commercials and billboards. Companies pay a TV station money so that the company can air commercials on that TV station. Someone owns a billboard, a company has to pay that person to use the billboard for an advertisement.
Same thing with websites. Company A pays Curse money so that Company A can advertise on Curse websites. Curse makes money so it can pay for bandwidth costs and server space.
More people coming to the site = more people seeing the ads. More people seeing the ads = more money that the advertisers give to Curse. More money advertisers give to Curse = more money Curse makes. More money Curse makes = more money Curse spends on keeping itself alive.
If Curse and WoWinterface DID remove the ads, then sure, maybe more people would start coming to the site, but then they wouldn't be able to make any money. Bandwidth usage costs money. Their bandwidth usage would skyrocket, and they wouldn't have the cash to pay for it. If they were to remove ads, they'd have to force visitors to pay to access the sites. Do you want the sites being free and littered with ads? Or do you want to pay a $10-per-month subscription fee? That's what I thought, dumbass.
Just quit posting.

|It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas in Perth
|Written by Sherry
|Wednesday, 16 December 2009 13:18
The 2009 Christmas light display of the season comes from Perth, Austrailia where the family raises money for charity by asking for donations from those who drive by.
The owners write:
50,000 LEDs, 6km cables, 176 channels of light all set to music. See it until Christmas Eve at 5 Bishop Riley Way, Churchlands. We raised $22k for Perth children's hospital last year, we're aiming for $30k this year - as at 15 Dec we're at $8,217.
It has a nice light touch.

My name is Michele Boudreaux and this is my blog. I am a mother, a graphic designer and a baker. I graduated from Penn State University in 1997 with a BA in Graphic Design. And that's how I made my living until I became a full-time mother. I have two sons: my first son was born in 2007, my second in 2011.
In 2010, in hopes of combining my love for design and packaging with confections, I put my lifelong love for baking to work and went back to school. In November of 2011, I graduated with a pastry degree from ICE.
I live in Brooklyn with my husband, two sons and three cats. I balance my family commitments with an active freelance career in graphic design and confections. Recent professional accomplishments include designing the logo for The Webby Awards. I've also been a featured seller on Etsy. You can visit my online candy shop here.
This Web site is over 10 years old. (I KNOW!) It spans my life in New York City directly following my experience on September 11th, 2001, how I met my husband, my pregnancy, the birth of my son, the miscarriage of our second child, and finally, after years worth of infertility, the birth of our second son.
I write about living in New York City, the intimacies of my daily life, miscarriage and infertility, pregnancy, and motherhood. I should probably also mention I love animals—cats in particular—and I don't usually eat them.
You can find me on twitter and Etsy as well.
Please feel free to contact me at mihow @ mihow.com. I enjoy getting email. I read everything I receive and I do try and write everyone back. I welcome comments as well (as long as you're kind).

The down-turning economy has apparently taken a casualty on the local restaurant scene. This weekend will be the last weekend Miles Prescott is chef of the Country Club.
"The restaurant in its current capacity is done after this weekend," Prescott said on Thursday afternoon. "It was really sudden. I just found out on Monday that this was going on."
Just under a year ago, Prescott took over the kitchen at the Country Club, a grand Bywater property with a rear pool that has long been a popular hang-out for those in the local gay community. The young chef, who was recently featured as a Chef to Watch in Lagniappe's Fall Dining Guide, gave the place a smart culinary identity with his affordable modern American cuisine, a notable feature in a neighborhood that's richer in funk than culinary refinement.
Prescott said the Country Club is owned by an out-of-town businessman. "The way it was explained to me is that he's taken a really big hit in the economy," he said. Southern Decadence was expected to give the restaurant a strong September. Prescott said Hurricane Gustav threw a wrench in those plans.
Prescott's replacement is former culinary school classmate Sam Allen, who had been working in the Country Club's kitchen. "In the beginning we're going to discontinue the cheese and charcuterie and some of the more expensive items," Allen said, "but we're otherwise going to try to stick with the bistro food that we've been doing. We're just going to try to use a little more simpler items due to the economy. Our prices will be dropping."
As for Prescott, the chef hasn't started shopping his resume. "Next week I guess I'll have all the time in the world," he said. "All I know is I'll be working someplace in New Orleans. That's for sure."
The Country Club is at 634 Louisa St., 504.945.0742.

Photo 51
Photograph 51 is the nickname given to an X-ray diffraction image of DNA taken by Raymond Gosling in May 1952, working as a PhD student under the supervision of Rosalind Franklin,[1][2][3][4] at King's College London in Sir John Randall's group. It was critical evidence[5] in identifying the structure of DNA.[6]
James Watson was shown the photo by Maurice Wilkins without Rosalind Franklin's approval or knowledge (although by this time Gosling had returned to the supervision of Wilkins). Along with Francis Crick, Watson used characteristics and features of Photo 51 to develop the chemical model of the DNA molecule. In 1962, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Watson, Crick and Wilkins. The prize was not awarded to Franklin; she had died four years earlier, and the Nobel Prize's rules require that it be awarded only to living persons.[7]
The photograph provided key information that was essential for developing a model of DNA.[6][8] The diffraction pattern determined the helical nature of the double helix strands (antiparallel). The outside of the DNA chain has a backbone of alternating deoxyribose and phosphate molecules, and codes for inheritance are inside the helix. Watson and Crick's calculations from Franklin's photography gave crucial parameters for the size and structure of the helix.[8]
Photo 51 became a crucial data source[9] that led to the development of the DNA model and confirmed the prior postulated double helical structure of DNA, which were presented in the articles in the Nature journal by Raymond Gosling.
As historians of science have re-examined the period during which this image was obtained, considerable controversy has arisen over both the significance of the contribution of this image to the work of Watson and Crick, as well as the methods by which they obtained the image. Franklin was hired independently of Maurice Wilkins, who, nonetheless, showed Photo 51 to Watson and Crick, without her knowledge. Whether Franklin would have deduced the structure of DNA on her own, from her own data, had Watson and Crick not obtained Gosling's image, is a hotly debated topic,[6][10][11][12] made more controversial by the negative caricature of Franklin presented in the early chapters of Watson's history of the research on DNA structure, The Double Helix.[10][13][14] Watson admitted his distortion of Franklin in his book, noting in the epilogue: "Since my initial impressions about [Franklin], both scientific and personal (as recorded in the early pages of this book) were often wrong, I want to say something here about her achievements."[15]
Cultural references[edit]
- A play entitled Photograph 51 by Anna Ziegler focuses on the role of x-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin in the discovery of the structure of DNA.[16][17] This play won the 3rd STAGE International Script Competition in 2008.[18] The play premiered first in the United States, then in London's Noel Coward Theatre, in the West End, directed by Michael Grandage.[19]

The Minnehaha Boulevard home was empty when the flames started around 4:30 p.m., and firefighters quickly quelled them, police said.
The cause of the fire and the extent of the damage to the home wasn't immediately known, according to police. The home didn't appear to have been badly damaged, police said, because help securing the home hadn't been requested.
Parsippany Fire District 4 and the Boonton Fire Department responded to the scene, police said.

The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra is ringing in the new year the old-fashioned way, with four concerts of Viennese waltzes and polkas. But the ensemble ends the old year with a futuristic show featuring such soloists as Sonic the Hedgehog and Pac-Man.
"Video Games Live" brings the music found in PlayStations and Xboxes into the concert hall. Video game composer Jack Wall -- whose credits include "Myst III: Exile," "Myst IV: Revelation" and "Barbie: Secret Agent" -- conducts the orchestra underneath a huge screen. The video selections range from the Dark Ages of "Pong" to the newest installment of "Guitar Hero."
Wall's fellow composer and executive producer, Tommy Tallarico, insists "Video Games Live" isn't just for teens with twitchy fingers and time to kill.
"I wanted to prove to the world how sophisticated and artistically significant video games have become," Tallarico says. "We designed the show for the non-gamer.
"A lot of the people who come to the show are grandparents bringing their kids to the symphony for the first time."
And each night one child or adult gets to do more than listen. The "Video Games Live" experience includes costume contests and a pre-concert gaming arcade, as well as opportunities to meet game producers, designers and composers. The winner of a pre-show "Guitar Hero" competition is called up on stage to play the game to the Aerosmith song "Sweet Emotion." (Tallarico is a cousin of Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler.)
Though a YouTube clip from a Dec. 18 show in Paris shows a contestant failing to complete the song, Tallarico says the winning record is pretty high: "Eighty percent of the time they really wipe the place clean, and the audience goes nuts when they do so."
Going nuts appears to be the standard response to the show, which has been touring for four years. The dates have increased from three performances in 2005 to 47 this year; 70 are scheduled for 2009.
And "Video Games Live" transcends national borders.
"When we go down to Brazil," Tallarico says, "they're standing and cheering and screaming the whole time. It's like a rave for them. In Taiwan, it was absolutely insane. People crying in the aisles."
But Tallarico -- who has written music for games ranging from "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater" to "The Incredibles" -- believes they're not just applauding the game clips and rock-concert lighting. It all comes back to the music, which can be as lush as any Hollywood score. Saturday's concerts may begin with the bloops of "Pong," but they feature not just the NJSO but also Schola Cantorum on Hudson, a 45-member choir from Jersey City that has been praised as "clear and self-assured" by The Star-Ledger.
"All of us video game composers," Tallarico says, "we all draw inspiration from the masters. Beethoven, Mozart, Orff, Holst's 'Planets.' The music we've been making in the past 10 years, I will put up against any film score written in the last 10 years.
"In movies, what they write is background music. In video games, it's interactivity. It's music that drives the story a lot of the time."
He adds that film composers are making the leap to the video game industry, which has lured such heavy-hitters as Bill Conti (the "Rocky" franchise) and Howard Shore ("The Lord of the Rings" films).
"If Beethoven were alive today," Tallarico says, "he wouldn't want some director telling him what to do, and actors talking over his music. He'd be a video game guy."
Video Games Live. Who: New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, Schola Cantorum on Hudson, Jack Wall, conductor. Where: New Jersey Performing Arts Center, 1 Center St., Newark. When: Saturday, 2 and 8 p.m. How much: $21-$82. Call (888) 466-5722 or visit njpac.org.

The 2011 Fleischmann's Yeast "Bake for the Cure" contest is a nationwide recipe contest that celebrates bread baking and raises breast cancer awareness.
There's $400 in cash prizes plus $3,000 in national grand prizes, and for each entry nationwide, ACH Food Companies Inc. also donates $10 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure on behalf of contestants and its Fleischmann's Yeast brand.
Contestants are invited to submit any flavor or shape of baked good using any type of Fleischmann's Yeast. Themes and decorative presentations are encouraged.

Submitted Photo - - Pesto Swirl Bread
Submitted Photo - - German Chocolate Ring
Submitted Photo - - White Chocolate Cherry Bread
Categories include the main category of any yeast bread, along with a second "Whole Grain Bread" category.
The main category awards $150 for first place, $75 for second and $50 for third. The "Whole Grain" category has a $100 top prize and a new $50 runner-up prize.
Judges choose the local winning recipes based on flavor, texture, appearance and creativity. Contestants can enter once per category. Contestants of all ages are welcome.
From all first-place winning recipes, ACH Test Kitchens will select one grand-prize-winning recipe from each of three regions: Northern, Central and Southern. National grand prizes will be awarded in January.
Contest judging is set for July 22 at 2 p.m. in the 4-H Building at the North Dakota State Fair. Fair officials noted the Fleischmann's baking contests and culinary demonstrations are being moved this year from the State Fair Center lobby, where they have been held several years, to the 4-H building.
"The change will make more comfortable surroundings for cooks and spectators, as well as move people through the lobby more easily," said foods chairman Fern Laudenschlager.
As inspiration, try one of these past prize-winning recipes, including Pesto Swirl Bread, German Chocolate Ring and White Chocolate Cherry Bread.
Pesto Swirl Bread
Prep time: 30 minutes; Rise time: 60 minutes Bake time: 30 to 35 minutes. Makes 1 loaf.
2-3/4 to 3-1/4 cups bread flour
1 envelope rapid-rise yeast
1 tablespoon nonfat dry milk
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1-1/4 cups water
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon + 1/2 cup prepared pesto sauce
Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, dry milk, sugar, parsley, salt and garlic powder in a large bowl. Heat water and butter until very warm (120 F to 130 F). Add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally.
Add 1 tablespoon pesto sauce and mix well. Stir in enough remaining flour with a spoon to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Cover dough with towel and let rest on floured surface 10 minutes. Roll dough to 15-inch-by-10-inch rectangle. Spread with 1/2 cup pesto sauce. Beginning at short end of each rectangle, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal.
Place, seam sides down, in greased 9-inch-by-5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 60 minutes. Bake at 375 F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done.
Remove from pan and let cool on wire racks.
German Chocolate Ring
Prep time: 40 minutes; Rise time: 50 to 60 minutes; Bake time: 30 to 40 minutes.
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1-1/4 cups flaked coconut, divided
3/4 cup chopped pecans
3 eggs
4 to 4-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 envelope rapid-rise yeast
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
5 tablespoons butter, divided
Mix 3/4 cup chocolate chips, 1 cup coconut, pecans and 1 egg in a medium bowl; set aside. Combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in large mixer bowl. Heat milk and 4 tablespoons butter until very warm (120 F to 130 F) and add to flour mixture.
Beat until smooth. Add 2 remaining eggs and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Roll dough into an 18-inch-by-10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter and brush over dough. Spread with reserved chocolate-coconut mixture. Roll up dough jelly roll style, starting from the long side; pinch seam to seal.
Place dough seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Form a ring by pinching the ends together. With sharp scissors, cut from outside edge to two-thirds of the way toward center of ring at 1-inch intervals. Separate strips slightly to allow filling to show. Cover and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 50 to 60 minutes. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips; let stand for 5 minutes. Spread melted chips; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup coconut. Carefully remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
White Chocolate Cherry Bread
Prep time: 30 minutes; Rise time: 55 minutes. Bake time: 25 to 30 minutes. Yield: 2 loaves.
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, drained; reserve juice
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3-1/4 cups bread flour
2-1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast or 1 envelope rapid-rise yeast
1/2 cup chopped white chocolate baking chips
1/3 cup chopped slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1/4 cup maraschino cherries, cut in half and well drained
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 to 4 teaspoons reserved cherry juice
1 egg slightly beaten
Add the bread ingredients in the order given (or the recommended order for your bread machine) to the machine pan. Select Dough/Manual cycle. Do not use delay cycles.
After bread machine turns off, remove dough from machine and place on lightly floured surface; cover. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Mix white chocolate baking chips, almonds and sugar in a small bowl. Grease a large baking sheet (or 2 baking sheets).
Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a 12-inch-by-9-inch rectangle. Spread 1 tablespoon butter over each rectangle. Sprinkle with half the white chocolate mixture and cut cherries. Press into dough. Roll up dough from long side. Pinch loaf to seal bottom and ends.
Place on baking sheet(s). Cover and let rise in warm place about 45 minutes or until double. Brush with egg.
Bake on center rack of preheated 350 F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Note: If using 2 baking sheets, switch the position of the sheets half way through baking. Transfer loaf to wire rack placed on top of waxed paper. Cool. Mix glaze ingredients until smooth and of desired consistency. Drizzle each loaf with glaze.
Recipe tip: A 10-ounce jar of maraschino cherries contains just enough cherries and juice for this recipe.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) -- Fire crews were working to control a blaze at the Twin Oaks Apartments complex on the city's southeast side Friday morning.
The fire sparked sometime around 9 a.m. at the complex off of E. Paulding Road. Crews arrived and found smoke and fire coming from the first and second floors of apartment 6060.
They called extra crews to the scene due to the potential of the fire spreading and endangering lives.
Crews were able to contain the fire to the fire apartment and attic. Ceilings and walls were breached in the adjacent apartments to check for fire spread but none was found.
The fire was under control in 30 minutes.
The building was occupied at the time of the fire and all the people inside had evacuated themselves. Displaced occupants will be relocated to other apartments within the complex.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway are very sexy in messy 'Love and Other Drugs'
If you want to see a movie where Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway display enough sexual chemistry to start real life romance rumors, than "Love and Other Drugs" is for you. If you want a movie that features a by the numbers plot with sitcom-inspired comedy situations and where you don't really care about the characters when it all comes to an end (even though one is suffering from a major disease) than "Love and Other Drugs" is also for you. Yes, if "Drugs" sounds like a movie that's all over the place, it is.
Edward Zwick's first romantic dramedy since "About Last Night…" way back in 1986, "Drugs" finds Gyllenhaal playing Jamie, a smart, but unfocused rich kid trying to make his way in mid '90s America without the help of dear old dad. We immediately discover Jamie's biggest asset is his confident charm and ladies man sexual libido which seems perfect for his new gig as a Pfizer pharmaceutical rep. Eventually placed in the field somewhere in Ohio (we're never really told where) with a more experienced superior trying to get transferred back to Chicago (a misused Oliver Platt), Jamie discovers it's harder than you'd think to convince doctors to order Zoloft when their patience are in love with competitor Prozac. Just when you think the picture is going to turn into a work place wonder, Jamie meets Maggie (Hathaway), a patient of the one hotshot doctor (Hank Azaria, also wasted) who could be his ticket to the big time. Over retread Cameron Crowe dialogue trying to be so un-cliche only these two pros can make it work, Jamie and Maggie instantly become sexual partners with no strings attached. Of course, their sexual encounters -- which allow fans of both actors to get prime views -- lead to the expected realization that they have a deeper connection. That's when the romantic cliches start to appear in droves. Sadly, when the movie insists on going down a dark route with Maggie's disease the tone really flies all over the place. And still, you know there is going to be a happy ending in there somewhere because, well, it's one of those movies. Oh, and did we forget to mention James ends up becoming the perfect salesman for...Viagra? Well, don't worry about it, it's really not that important to the picture's plot in the long run.
One of the biggest red flags that "Drugs" is nothing more than a slick piece of commercial entertainment (not that there is anything wrong with that if it's done right) is the lame subplot centering on Jamie's brother Josh ("21's" Josh Gad). Supposedly an IPO millionaire, he spends most of the picture sleeping on Jamie's couch after leaving his wife over marital problems. This makes almost no sense other the than to have Gad around to provide gross out and un-funny comic relief. Which seems obviously calculated to appeal to the few young men in the audience.
Those issues aside, "Love and Other Drugs" is not inherently a bad movie. It's just not a very good one. Instead it's a perfectly fine Hollywood dramedy that has been unfortunately pegged as something that could be awards worthy because of its stars and release date. Does that mean Hathaway and Gyllenhaal or the picture can't land expected Golden Globe nods? Of course not. Subconsciously the HFPA would like nothing better for Gyllenhaal and Hathaway's smiling faces to come walking down the show's red carpet. Does that mean either of them will duplicate that feat at the Oscars? Don't bet on it.
"Love and Other Drugs" opens nationwide on Nov. 24.

Despite rumors earlier this week that Rashad Evans would again be passed over for a shot at UFC light heavyweight champion and former teammate Jon Jones, it appears that "Suga" may get his chance after all.
In an appearance on the "Jim Rome Show" on Tuesday, White stated that if Evans were to defeat fellow top contender Phil Davis at the next "UFC on FOX" event on January 28, and come out of the bout injury-free, he would receive the next crack at Jones later this year.
"We're working on it now," White said on the show. "We're going to obviously see what happens in this Rashad fight at the end of the month. The next fight on Fox, Rashad is fighting Davis, so we'll see what happens there. If Rashad wins, if Rashad comes out injury free, we'll get the Jon 'Bones' Jones/Rashad Evans fight going."
Several sources had stated that Jones would be pitted against former Strikeforce title holder Dan Henderson at the UFC's scheduled March return to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, which still does not have a main event.
The aforementioned speculation may have led Henderson to reportedly turn out a bout against Alexander Gustaffson, who was announced as facing Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in the main event of UFC on FUEL 2 in Sweden in April.

I often used to tell my kids about how much we used to eat as Cadets/Middies (which is correct?). We used to go through the card at breakfast as many times as we were allowed and as much toast or what ever at smokoes. One of the things I remember was the names of the soup! If there are any grocers out there can you tell me if there was a book with the names of all the soups in, or did you just make them up as you went along? It was always yesterday leftovers, but they had great names. Cream Du Barry for cauliflower soup.There were some really posh names for omlettes too.

Ramjeet Raghav world's oldest dad at 96 says he has sex three times a night
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- October 17, 2012
AN INDIAN farmer has become the world's oldest dad aged 96 - beating the record he set himself two years ago.
Ramjeet Raghav was at his wife Shakuntala's side as second son Ranjeet was born weighing 4lb 7oz, Indian and British media have reported.
The former wrestler had gained the world record in 2010 when Shakuntala , 52, gave birth to Vikramjeet.
Speaking at his home in the state of Haryana, near Delhi, Mr Raghav said: "What can I do? This is all God's wish. He wanted me to have another son."
Mr raghav admits that as proud as he is of having two healthy sons at his age, his neighbours are more jealous of his sex drive, The Daily Mail reports.
"I do it three or four times a night. My neighbours are jealous and they keep asking me for my secret but all I tell them is that it is God's will," he said.
"I'm healthy and I enjoy sex with my wife. I think it's very important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly.
"When she asks I will go on all night but for the sake of my child I've put our needs aside for now."
Mr Raghav told The Tiems of India that he had remained a bachelor and practised celibacy throughout his life until he met Shakuntala about 10 years ago.
"After staying together, we decided to extend our family and aspired for two sons. With God's grace, our wish has been fulfilled."

So he says he has sex 3 times a night! That doesn't make it true. Have they carried out DNA checks? And as for a mother at 52 (with no mention of IVF)? I'm sceptical.

Parents who must organize busy families are finding ways to commandeer spaces that have traditionally been used for other purposes in order to get more functional space in their households. Mudrooms are a prime target. Historically they have served as mere pass-through rooms, but today every inch of space is precious. If you have such a room in your house, try thinking of it in other ways that can deliver more convenience.
For the avid but busy gardener, consider including a gardening and potting center. If you can bring plumbing to your spot, then add in a farmhouse-style sink to add country character as well as a useful sink for potting, laundry and cleaning chores. Even if the area isn't wide, narrow shelves are perfect for little pots, seeds, and hand-held garden tools and gloves.
In many homes, the mudroom also serves as the laundry room for the house. If this is your situation, try switching to a front-loading washer/dryer combination or a stacking unit in order to conserve space for other tasks.
If you are out in the country and the people coming inside are wearing muddy, snowy or rain-drenched foot gear and outerwear, consider a tiled-in half-walled little shower area. Include a small bench so family members can sit down and hose off the mess. This is also a great spot for washing the pets, so think about including permanent eye hooks where you can clip the dog's leash while you bathe him or her.
A wooden bench with a rush seat or an upholstered bench will lend a stylish, refined air to your space. This is a great spot for historic family photos hung above hooks for hats, coats and umbrellas. In order to keep the space tidy, make sure you go through the coats and hats every now and again and purge.
The mudroom shown in the photo here is casual and has ample space for a family message center and calendar, both important when you're trying to keep a family organized. Also included is a telephone docking and charging station. This is an easy spot -- just as you head out the door -- for keeping doggie treats, the brush and the leash.
Such a place can serve as the mail center, with stamps for the outgoing mail and perhaps a place where opened bills are deposited for future handling. Using this area as a major drop zone can keep your kitchen from getting too disorganized with homework, briefcases and backpacks.
Here a narrow cupboard might store an electric broom or small broom to sweep off the back porch. Or each member of the family might have a pullout "locker" of his or her own. This is a good place to store jackets and running shoes, walking shoes or garden clogs. Mudrooms are also the perfect home for oddball items such as the glue gun, rolls of string, balloons or craft supplies.
In 75 percent of households the garage is no longer used to hold the family car. If that is the case for you, consider stealing a corner where you can create a customized mudroom. Build it around the door leading outside and add a window if you don't already have one.
In older homes, the laundry center was originally placed along the common wall with the house and included the hot-water heater, the washing machine and the dryer. If you change to a tankless water heater -- where you heat the water on demand -- you will conserve space and open up possibilities for more efficient storage in you mudroom/laundry combo.

what about celebrating REAL artists? you know there are a ton of REAL serious artists out there who happen to be gay as well.
in contemporary classical music I can easily name half a dozen important figures who are gay and still with us, and who definitely deserve more attention that Justin-fu*king-Bieber.
Gays: if they don't like pop music, they sure like classical.
(puts on Italian prog metal, continues to be a bad person)
@boring: Sadly, I think the stereotypes are true. I've never found another gay man who's even HEARD of Ellen Allien, Ricardo Villalobos, John Tejada, Bilal, Lusine, Pantha du Prince, The Field, Mikkel Metal, Susumu Yokota, Shackleton, Spacek, Omar S, The Mole, Mira Calix, Move D, Luomo, Monolake, Kurt Vile, Monkey Mafia, Joy Orbison, or five hundred more of my favorites. Bizarre. But they sure know their showtunes.
@MuscleModelBlog.com: I thought all the doctor, lawyers tv shows already celebrated them?!

Always wash your hands where ever you go specially in the Hospitals & use sanitizer always and take it with you every where. I found out that the cleaning people dont do the job they suppose to. I went to the E.R Yesterday I decover that the cords to watch T.V, telephones, chairs, restrooms, waiting room areas, etc. Are not disinfected as we thought it was. As a result one person got infected and the chain went on. This virus is very contagious and take extremely precautions.
we always keep hands clean and carry handsanitizer anyway..Thanks for sharing.
Need some Time for You? Feeling stressed? Kick back, relax & take a break. If you're a woman who just wants to have fun, here's the place :)
Washing hands often,
Thanks for sharing :)
So many things are contaigous and people just don't realize. wash wash wash
I have hand saniter in my car in hubbys truck in the camper and I have one clipped on to the strap of my purse and one in my purse....most of the stores also offer the sanitizer for the cart which I also use...so I do keep my hands clean and free of germs as much as possible,,,thank you for sharing this,,,,I was in the ER twice the beggining of last month yuk,,,never thought about the chairs not being sanitized,,,how gross no wonder so much goes around!
It might look like a cold or the flu You start having Fever that doesnt want to go away or Diarrhea, watery diarrhea with or with out bloody stool followed by a bad strong smell that you cant stand, body chills, stomach cramping, abdominal pain that you might think you going to start your period This are the Extreme factors you want to look for. Did you know that in 2012 many people lost their lifes because of this. So, dont wait if your doctor tells you is just a cold or flu. Tell them and urge to have your stool tested for this bacteria.
I went to the Home Depot and I told one of the workers to close the restroom & to satizied the area where my daughter use the restroom when I found out she had blood in her stool. She said I will call it in but she never did. How did I knew they didnt! Well, i went back to the restroom and seen the restroom sink and toilet was still dirty. I seen when one customer was about to use the sink & told her not to use that one. She thank me for telling her & at the same time there was a worker there and didnt do nothing about it. She was like in her 65-70 yrs of age and to think that an elderly would care about this type of things. Yeah Right! She didnt do nothing about it.
You will be surprise how many people dont wash there hands after using the restroom and its true. An older woman went to the restroom in JcPenney as I washed my hands I seen the lady approach the sink and just sprinkle her hands with water and left. Eeew! I told my daughter see baby this one of the reasons I tell you to always use a tissue when you open the water sink and the door when leaving the restroom. Public restroom areas are very dirty ex: toilet paper, sinks, baby changing tables, floor & most of all the DOOR HANDLE. DONT NEVER TAKE MORE THAN 15 MIN IN THE THE PUBLIC RESTROOM TOILET. Help by not spreading Germs Just Love. Be one of the people that cares for other peoples safety like me. If you witness this type of things CARE & SHARE YOUR STORY. IT WILL HELP OTHER PEOPLE BELIEVE IT OR NOT. There is people that still care in this world and they are the ones that make the world go around. Thank You Ladies.
Yes, I'm very aware that animals can get colostrium difficile. Did you know it can stay dormant, as a spore, in your body for 10 years before expressing itself.

MUSKEGON, MI – Like most of America, Muskegon County has many "incomplete" streets.
That is, Muskegon has streets that are designed for vehicle traffic. People on foot, bicycles and skateboards or in wheelchairs should enter at their own risk.
A group of influential Muskegon-area institutions and community leaders are joining forces to encourage area municipalities and townships to embrace the "complete streets" revolution that is spreading across the country. The Michigan Legislature signed on to the concept in 2010.
The cities of Norton Shores and Roosevelt Park have already adopted resolutions supporting the Complete Streets concept and other area local governments will be asked to do the same, according planner Erin Kuhn of the West Michigan Shoreline Regional Development Commission.
The local coalition supporting Complete Streets for Muskegon County will conduct a community forum on the topic Wednesday, May 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the United Way of Lakeshore, 31 E. Clay Ave. The public is invited to hear a panel discussion of Complete Streets and how the concept can be incorporated locally.
The Muskegon County Complete Streets initiative is being supported by Muskegon County government, the Community Foundation for Muskegon County, the Muskegon Rotary Club's One in 21 health initiative, West Michigan Disability Connections, Public Health-Muskegon County, the Muskegon County Medical Society Alliance and WMSRDC.
The group will also present the concept to the Muskegon Rotary Club on Thursday, May 30, at noon.
"We are very vehicle-friendly on our streets at the point of not being friendly to other modes of transportation," Kuhn said of the concept being spread by the Washington D.C.-based National Complete Streets Coalition, which has had more than 200 communities adopt the concept nationwide.
"We want our communities to embrace the principals of Complete Streets and incorporate them into their street and road designs as they do individual projects," Kuhn said.
Complete Streets designs might include sidewalks, bike lanes on roadways, special bus lanes, accessible points for public transportation, separate bike paths, traffic circles, median islands, narrowing of streets, pedestrian signals and safe crosswalks to name a few.
"This is not a cookie-cutter solution for every street," Kuhn explained, adding that what works on an urban street might not be appropriate for a suburban drive or a rural road. "We want communities to incorporate what makes sense when they plan their street projects."
But the concept is that pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles have equally safe access to public streets. The individual and community benefits of Complete Streets were first discovered by the One in 21 Infrastructure Committee, which is looking at what Muskegon can do to promote healthy living.
One in 21 is the community health initiative to make Muskegon County the healthiest county in Michigan by 2021. The goal is lofty since Muskegon County has shown poorly on national studies of ranking counties in Michigan on various health standards.
Besides making it able for citizens to access the roadways on bikes, foot or Rollerblades to increase physical activity in a community, Complete Streets improves safety, lowers transportation costs for families and builds strong connections within the community, proponents argue.
The National Complete Streets Coalition argues that in times of limited financial resources for many local governments, Complete Streets can be created at no more cost than today's traditional street designed for vehicles only. Through good design and planning, many of the Complete Streets elements are of minimal costs, proponents said.
Wednesday's Muskegon Complete Streets community forum will feature a panel discussion among five experts on the concept.
The panel will include Muskegon project engineer Harry Wierenga of Fleis & Vandenbrink, Deb Alfonso of the Michigan Department of Transportation, Nancy Krupiarz of the Michigan Trails and Greenways Alliance, Jason Berry, a city planner from Blue Island, Ill., and Steve Buchtel of Trails for Illinois.

Acta Cryst. (2013). E69, m477-m478 [ doi:10.1107/S1600536813020631 ]
Abstract: In the title compound, {(NH4)[Ag(C5HN2O6)2(H2O)]}n, the AgI cation is seven-coordinated and is surrounded by four oxo O atoms of the 2,3,5,6-tetraoxo-4-nitropyridin-4-ide species [Ag-O = 2.3848 (19), 2.4931 (18), 2.5361 (18) and 2.573 (2) Å], two nitro O atoms [Ag-O = 2.644 (2) and 2.661 (2) Å], and one water molecule [Ag-O = 2.3133 (19) Å]. The pyridin-4-ide mono-anions act as polydentate bridging ligands and form a three-dimensional network that is stabilized through O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonds involving the coordinating water molecule and the imide function as donator groups. The ammonium cations are located in the cavities of the framework and are also involved in hydrogen bonding to O atoms of the ligand.

What is a 'Cash Investment'
A cash investment is a short-term obligations, usually fewer than 90 days, that provide a return in the form of interest payments. Cash investments generally offer a low return compared to other investments. They are also associated with very low levels of risk and are often FDIC-insured.
2. An individual or business's direct financial contribution to a venture, as opposed to borrowed money.
BREAKING DOWN 'Cash Investment'
1. Money market funds and certificates of deposit are examples of cash investments. Whereas it might be possible to earn an 8% annual return from a stock, a cash investment might return only 1% per year. Market interest rates dictate how much investors can earn from their cash.
2. For example, in real estate, a buyer who takes out a mortgage is expected to make a cash investment in the form of a down payment. The borrower's cash investment lowers the lender's risk, since the borrower will have something of his own to lose if he defaults on the mortgage. If the borrower's cash investment is less than 20%, the lender will require the borrower to purchase private mortgage insurance to protect the lender's interests.

Is this how Huizenga represents his constituents? Evidently, he took a pledge to not raise taxes. This pledge was put forth by Grover Norquist, an unelected partisan, who is bullying our elected officials and wants to, as he has often said, "Shrink the U.S. government and drown it in a bathtub."
Norquist's organization does not agree with tax increases of any kind period. In short, Norquist told Republicans that allowing the Bush tax breaks to expire or doing anything to weaken them would not be supported by his tax reform group — but they could do so at their own risk.
Huizenga was elected and is supported by the tea party, but how many tea partiers really want to give up all the benefits they receive from government if they really think about. Furthermore, have they forgotten how often both Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush raised the debt ceiling? Guess so.
Many Republicans have stated they only want to see our president fail, heck with the country. Very patriotic isn't it?
Please, Rep. Huizenga, prove you are not one of them by standing up to Grover Norquist.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- You could call coupon cutter Jennifer Bader a bit extreme about her hobby.
She describes it differently.
"It's a passion and a mission to share this with others," Bader said.
Bader is passionate, all right. She has boxes of coupons delivered to her home weekly. She buys multiple copies of the newspaper - The Times, thank you very much - to maximize her savings. She gets so much stuff for free or super-cheap that her family of five can't use it all, and she donates the rest to the needy or military.
Bader's website - thecouponcentsation.com - offers tips on the best deals and gets more than 2,000 hits a day. She teaches classes on the art, science and math of coupon clipping and organizing.
She's the super sleuth of supermarket savings. In just over two years of doing this, Bader has become so savvy that she typically feeds her family of five on $100 or less a month.
A hundred dollars a month. Down from $600.
Bader, the mother of 3-year-old twins and a 10-month old, is married to TV weatherman Dale Bader. She's always been something of a bargain hunter but didn't get serious until moving here from St. Louis two years ago.
"Two years ago, my goal was savings of 60 percent" on a shopping trip, she said. If she didn't hit that mark, she'd be "very frustrated."
Now, she typically saves 90 percent. It's not uncommon for Bader to come home with $600 worth of groceries for less than $5.
Bader used to keep her coupons in a binder that she carried to the store. To a novice, that seems the best way, but surprisingly it's not. She now carries just the ones she needs in a zip-top bag.
Coupon mania
The cable channel TLC has a new show called "Extreme Couponing," so coupon mania may become even more popular.
That concerns the Baders for two reasons. One, it takes time and practice to buy a zillion dollars' worth of groceries for almost free.
"It's not going to happen overnight," she said.
The other reason - as it catches on, some stores are already changing policies for double couponing, the Baders have heard. That's bad for coupon addicts.
Ask Jennifer Bader to explain the ins and outs of maximizing coupons, and she rattles off terms like in-store, manufacturers' coupons, inserts, plus websites and databases.
She's right - this takes practice.
One of the most interesting tips she had to offer was about insert services. Bader learned about that and much more through the Coupon Wizard website (coupon-wizards.com).
That wizard fellow buys a Florida newspaper's leftovers in bulk discount and sells the service of packaging and mailing you stacks of those slick coupon inserts that come in the Sunday newspaper. They arrive Monday.
"I pay $19.95 a week and I get 20 of every insert," Bader said. Last week, there were four inserts in the Sunday paper, so she got 80 of them for roughly 20 bucks. Obviously, she finds it worth the cost. A box of those coupons on her kitchen table had a value of $4,480 for one week.
If you can find them, certain locations in the country - like zip code 90210 in California - get better deals. Sometimes, The Times' coupons are better, she has found. The mailed inserts from Florida recently had an Allegra coupon for $4 off, but this newspaper's was $7 off.
And not to brag too much on the local newspaper, but one Sunday she saved $500 at Kroger "just using Times coupons."
Also, those coupons you get from drugstores like CVS or Rite-Aid can generally be used at a different store for the same product because they're offered by the manufacturer.
Another trick of the trade is that Walmart will sometimes actually pay the customer in cash. For example, Similac baby formula is $3.84 at Walmart, Bader explained. With a $5 off coupon in The Times, the store actually gives you $1.16 out of their register. Or, you use the credit to buy other items.
She showed a Walmart receipt showing $83.87 worth of items. The store gave her $5.13 back.
It takes hours
This coupon zeal takes up about six hours of her day, Bader said. She's now turning it into a true moneymaker by offering classes at a cost of $10 for a tip workbook.
Jennifer's husband Dale has created a database of coupons with particulars like value, details, date of insert, etc. That helps them locate only the coupons they need on a particular week, so they can pull just that insert on file.
"You cannot be brand loyal," said her husband, who spends about four hours a week helping.
Shoppers can also visit manufacturers' Facebook sites to sign up for mailings, coupons and rebates.
"Every day in our mail we have a sample," she said, showing a free package of laundry detergent. Her husband figures they have enough of that to last the rest of the year. October was the last time she paid for diapers. She didn't spend a penny on Easter candy. A recent meal of baked ziti for the whole family cost her $2.68. Extras get donated - especially during the recent tornadoes.
As to whether this frenetic coupon-clipping hurts retailers, Bader says no because regional stores get 8 cents on the dollar for each coupon redeemed.
"Coupons will not cause a store to go bankrupt," she said.
As you can imagine, Bader has become well-known at stores she frequents. It helps to know the managers, too, and she even has phone numbers for district managers if there's a problem or question.
The managers know she has followers - since January, she's picked up 3,500 on Facebook - so they try to help resolve questions.
Six or seven months ago, Bader spent probably two to three hours in the grocery store, with her binder, and saved 50 to 60 percent.
Now she takes a list of relevant coupons, spends about an hour and saves 90 percent.
And no, you don't want to get in line behind her.
Half of that hour was checkout time.

Things Bader says you should never have to pay for:
milk, cereal, rice, salad dressing, air freshener, toilet paper, batteries, bar soap, razors, baby wipes, tape, paper towels, toothbrushes
Bader's "coupon etiquette":
Organize coupons before handing them to the cashier.
Write in any prices for free items before handing them to the cashier; this will keep the line moving.
For stores that accept competitors' coupons, take it easy on them. "When we overuse the policy, it will be abused."
Positive attitude with cashiers, store employees and management is key.
Take a coupon class
Learn how to save on your grocery bill at the MoneyWise Shopper workshops, sponsored by The Huntsville Times.
Classes will be at the newspaper office, located at 2317 S. Memorial Parkway. May classes are full, but free tickets are available for the two-hour classes on June 2, 11, 14 and 25.
Coupon expert Kristan Stanton of Decatur will instruct on where to find coupons, organizing them, stores' coupon policies and more, plus provide take-home materials. She'll also give tips on storing the items you purchase, and even offer some cooking tips.
