The following is a post by MPFJ staff writer, Kevin Mercadante, who is a professional personal finance blogger, and the owner of his own personal finance blog, OutOfYourRut.com. He has backgrounds in both accounting and the mortgage industry.
Most people generally assume that you need a credit card if you plan to rent a car from a car rental company. While it's typically easier to get a rental with a credit card, it turns out that it's not an absolute requirement.
Since methods of payment have become more diverse in recent years, car rental companies have responded by being more flexible in the methods of payment they will accept.
Acceptable Forms of Payment – Apart From Credit Cards
In addition to credit cards, there are at least three other forms of payment that are accepted by car rental companies, some more common than others.
Debit cards – Debit cards are in common use, and widely accepted by car rental companies. Typically, if you use a debit card to rent a car, the car rental company will run a credit check on you, as well as imposing a deposit requirement – generally $100 to $300 – which will be reserved on your debit card until you return the car and settle the bill. However, car rental companies are increasingly imposing the same restrictions for people who use traditional credit cards to rent their cars. The difference between renting a car with a credit card or a debit card is becoming increasingly small.
Cash – This payment method comes as a surprise to most consumers, not the least of which since car rental companies don't advertise their willingness to accept cash. But several car rental companies actually do, though the terms under which they will vary widely from one company to another – or even from one rental office to another within the same company.
Prepaid debit or gift cards – Some companies will accept these as a form of payment at the end of your rental, but they cannot be used to reserve your rental, or as upfront payment at the time of actual rental. Typically, you'll need a credit card or debit card for both credit verification and upfront rental authorization, but the rental company will accept your prepaid debit or gift card as final payment when you return the car.
The limitation on both prepaid debit and gift cards is that each is for a fixed amount. There is no room on these cards for a car rental company to pursue additional compensation in the event that you retain the car beyond the agreed upon rental period, or return it in less than perfect condition.
Now that we've established acceptable payment methods beyond credit cards, let's take a look at three major car rental companies and their individual policies in regard to the acceptance of cash in particular (since all accept debit cards, but only very limited use of prepaid debit or gift cards).
Hertz has the most accommodating policy in regard to acceptance of cash for a car rental. You can even use cash for the upfront rental, however you must first obtain a Hertz Cash Deposit ID Card. Since cash is problematic for a car rental company (no paper trail to identify you), they use the ID card to overcome that issue.
It order to be eligible to obtain the ID card, you must be at least 18 years old and pay a $15 nonrefundable processing fee.
IMPORTANT: The application for the Hertz Cash Deposit ID Card will take at least 30 days. For this reason, you will not be able to show up at one of their stores and rent a vehicle immediately. If you plan to pay for your rental with cash, you will need to complete your application and have it ready to go before you need to rent a car.
Enterprise has its own procedure for cash paying customers. They call it the Cash Qualification Process, and unlike the Hertz Cash Deposit ID Card – which is good for a specific length of time – the Enterprise version must be done each and every time you want to pay cash for your car rental.
In order to qualify, you must provide the following:
- Two current utility bills
- Most recent paycheck stub
- Driver's license issued from the rental state (you'd do well to presume that this provision prohibits paying cash if you are renting a car outside of your home state)
- A minimum deposit plus the entire cost of the rental at the time of pickup (Deposit amounts vary by location from $100 to $300)
- Proof of insurance
- Personal reference (no specifics are given on the types of references that are acceptable)
If the amount of cash that you have paid exceeds the final cost of the rental, you will be credited back to your account within 15 business days.
IMPORTANT: The company website warns that not all locations will accept cash payments even if you qualify under the Cash Qualification Process. If you plan to pay cash for your car rental with Enterprise, you need to check with the specific location where the transaction will take place, to make sure that they are willing to accept cash.
Avis is the least cash-friendly car rental company. They will accept cash as full payment upon the return of your vehicle, however in order to reserve or rent a vehicle upfront, you must have either a credit card or a debit card.
The only place on the Avis website that clearly indicates the acceptance of cash – on this very limited basis – is the FAQs page, and you must enter "Requirements for renting", then "Forms of payment" to find the policy at that.
At any car rental company, and especially if you intend to pay with cash, you should check the company's website, or call their 800 number, to get the specifics. Not only does each company have its own requirements for the acceptance of cash (or any other payment method), but they may not accept that at all locations, and company policies do change from time to time.
A credit card is always the best way to rent a car, but it's also nice to know that there other options if you need them.
How about you all? Have you ever used a form of payment other than a credit card to pay for a rental car? Why or why not?

Have they been to a pre-marriage counselor or anything? The reason I ask is because sometimes counselors will suggest to people that once they are married that conflicts with families should be handled by the person related to that family--in other words, if your mom/you said/did something to upset the new wife, your brother should be the person to handle the conflict.
You will also see this advice here on this board. Example: MIL does something to upset wife regarding baby, father should handle MIL, not the wife. Make sense?
I do find it odd that you say you are close with your brother and wife-to-be, but you have not talked to him about this. That would be my first course of action. Ask him what the deal is with this whole thing.
Ann-Marita. I deleted my usual signature due to, oh, wait, if I say why, that might give too much away.
Texmati-- Knitter, Hindu, vegetarian, WOHM. Wife to superdad and mom to DS 24 months, and DD 8 months! .
Just a question... is there any back story here? Is it possible that you inaverdantly said something to hurt her feelings?
Your brother is acting like a turd. He is trying to control EVERYONE, including you. I would tell him flat out....You MAY try to control your wife, but you're NOT going to tell me what to do. I don't
take orders from you.
That's just me and what I would do, even if it meant that I
would be uninvited to the wedding.
There is something else going on here. Something's up. I
don't know what it would be but it doesn't sound like
it's legit.
If you don't end up taking part, this would quite likely be crushing to your 12-year-old daughter. Again, me in your shoes would sit down with DD and explain what my concerns were and why I was backing out. She could decide for herself. I wouldn't feel right about yanking her participation based on my beliefs.
|I thought about emailing her or calling her and talking to her but I am afraid that will really tick my brother off and he won't let me attend the wedding.
Once again thank you everyone for your opinions, insight and advice. To address the above quote... no, I don't think I have said anything to have ever hurt her feelings. She currently lives three hours away and I only occasionaly see her when she is visting my brother. They have been dating on and off for about three years were broken up for a year when they saw each other at my cousin's wedding last April. I think she is a very sweet person and I would never want to hurt her. I even took her out to lunch last October to celebrate the engagement. My brother was working that day so he could not go. I have always been friendly with her and asking her how I can help with the wedding etc. And she has always been nice to me. And my kids adore her.
My mom is very upset with my brother for acting this way and will be confronting him shortly. She has no idea what is going on with him. He has been a jerk to her as well and she is paying for the rehersal dinner but she is going to tell him that if he does not straighten up she will not be paying for the dinner. Should be an interesting three weeks.

Even More Video Magic on the Mac
By Charles Haddad
My son, the filmmaker. At age 13, he has already produced, directed, and distributed nearly a dozen movies. All this from a studio that's no bigger than a tissue box and sits nearly half-buried amid desktop clutter. And he releases his movies through a nationwide network of friends and relatives strung together through the Internet.
What I'm describing, of course, is how Apple's iMovie video-editing software is making possible a wonderful new use for Macs. This software, now in its second version, is doing for video what Macs initially did for desktop publishing -- turning a formerly expensive and cumbersome process into one nearly anyone can figure out and afford.
My son uses a G4 Cube, an Internet connection through America Online, and a 10-gigabyte hard drive. Thus equipped, he has made, to take just one example, a chronicle of the daily life of our cat, complete with narration, music, and sound effects.
Don't get me wrong. You can't use iMovie to make a two-hour Hollywood feature film or even a 30-second television commercial. Elaborate image and sound edits still require a professional video program, such as Apple's own Final Cut Pro or Adobe's Premier, which sell for $1,000 and $550, respectively.
Nonetheless, my son is making movies up to five minutes long with an ease unimaginable in my college filmmaking class of 25 years ago. Back then, we used Super-8 film, clunky editing guillotines, and tape. But iMovie lets you quickly transfer video back and forth from a digital camcorder to your Mac via a FireWire cable. Not every Mac or camcorder has a FireWire connection, but most of the new ones do. Once you've transferred video from a camera to your Mac, you can start editing with the iMovie software. Later, you can transfer your edited work back to the camera or distribute it to others via the Internet or a disk. Or you can post it on a Web site, in essence creating a mini-theater to run your movie.
The first version of iMovie worked pretty well, but it had some holes and flaws. Editing sound was difficult, control buttons were a bit confusing, and there was a very limited set of special effects. The second version, iMovie2, remedies most of these problems. It also offers a stylistic preview of what's coming in OS X, since iMovie2 sports the upcoming new operating system's aqua-blue design, rounded corners, and pulsating buttons.
The aqua look is nice, but what really counts is the added functionality. Top of my list -- and my son's -- is iMovie2's ability to edit sound, if only in a limited way. Now you can split music and audio tracks, edit them separately, and recombine them. Better yet, you can easily lock an audio clip to a sequence of video. You can also extract an audio track from a video clip or paste one video clip on top of another while still keeping the original audio. This makes it easier to create cutaway effects.
With iMovie2, Apple has also added more special effects. You can transfer images to black and white or tint them sepia. And if that's not enough, you can download more visual-effects software from Apple's Web site, including the ability to reverse a video clip, slow it down, or speed it up. My son made a family movie that included a shot of me tripping over the clutter in his room in slow motion. It looked so funny that I forgot how angry I was at the time.
While using such special effects are fun, they really bulk up the amount of disk space your video uses. Luckily, Apple has added the ability to save movies as QuickTime files. And since they are smaller, they make it easier to distribute movies via disk or the Internet. Nearly every Mac has a QuickTime player through which to view such files.
As with most of Apple's new software, iMovie2 won't work on many old machines. You need a Mac with at least a G3 microprocessor running at 300 MHz. You'll also need version 9.04 of the Mac OS, a minimum of 64 MB of RAM (Apple recommends 28 MB), and 200 MB of hard-disk space. And, of course, you need a digital camcorder and a FireWire port.
On most new Macs, iMovie2 is included as part of the package. You can also buy it from the Apple Web site for $49. If you've always loved to play with video and wondered whether to upgrade your Mac, iMovie2 provides just the excuse you've been looking for.

Restaurants Donating To Repair West Richland Veteran's Memorial
Four restaurants are helping raise money to repair the Veteran's Memorial at Flat Top park in West Richland that was vandalized in March.
Ty's, Dax's, Uptown and Parkade bar and grill are pledging to match any money donated for the memorial throughout the entire month of May, up to eight thousand dollars.
The helmet and M-16 were stolen from the memorial and then found behind the Benton County Mosquito Control Building about a week later.
Due to the incident veterans said they want to update the memorial and possibly install security measures to prevent a future vandalism.
Ty's Bar and Grill manager Laurie Winchel said the owners and staff decided to join the fundraising efforts because, amongst other reasons, it is just the right thing to do.
"I think that 99% of the people out there think it's really kind of a tragedy and sad that somebody had vandalized it and as a community we need to help to repair that," said Winchel.
Ty's Bar and Grill is also doing a motorcycle ride on May 31st and donations will go to the memorial.
They will also have a barbecue, bike show and raffle that day.

CARSON, California, July 22 (Reuters) Chelsea ended their pre-season tour of the US with a 1-0 win against Los Angeles Galaxy in a match highlighted by David Beckham's long-awaited debut for the hosts.
Chelsea captain John Terry scored the only goal in the 49th minute after being lined up by Joe Cole, driving a powerful shot into the post before the ball ricocheted into the net yesterday.
US international striker Landon Donovan came close to equalising for the Galaxy in the 70th minute after latching onto a cross from Quavas Kirk but he headed over the bar.
Beckham, signed by the Galaxy from Real Madrid on a 32.5 million dollars five-year deal, came on as a substitute in the 78th minute and helped steady the midfield with a polished cameo performance.
His mere appearance on the bench seemed to lift his new team mates, who delivered one of their best performances in an otherwise dismal campaign.
The Galaxy have won only three of their 12 Major League Soccer games this season and languish second bottom in the Western standings.
They also failed to reach the US Open Cup quarter-finals after losing 1-0 at lowly Richmond Kickers last week.
A capacity crowd of 27,000 at the Home Depot Center was treated to plenty of end-to-end action in the opening half.
GOOD SAVE Galaxy goalkeeper Joe Cannon pulled off a good save in the 11th minute, parrying a powerful left-footed strike on the half-volley by Florent Malouda after a cross from Paolo Ferreira.
Two minutes later, Chelsea keeper Petr Cech was forced to make successive saves as Galaxy pushed forward, the last of them a thunderous shot from midfielder Cobi Jones on the right.
Jones was the creator in the 19th minute with a perfectly weighted, curling cross from the right but Kyle Martino pushed his diving header to the left of goal.
Galaxy defender Ty Harden headed out a probing cross from Chelsea defender Tal Ben Haim in the 21st minute with his goalkeeper Cannon stranded on the ground.
Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou had space just inside the penalty area in the 23rd minute after cleverly trapping a through ball but shot wide of goal.
Five minutes later, Kalou blasted a powerful shot over the crossbar from well outside the area.
Cech was forced to make another excellent save in the 39th minute, tipping a header from Galaxy defender Abel Xavier over the bar following a freekick from Donovan.
The second half was highlighted by Terry's goal and Beckham's hotly anticipated debut in a Galaxy shirt.

Simply the best of his time
By PETER ALLISS
Harry Vardon died in 1937 when I was but a lad of 6. I never saw the great man play, but my father, Percy, a fellow golf professional (who played on four Ryder Cup teams in the '30s) played with him on several occasions. Father was always impressed with Vardon's rhythm and balance, also the effortless way he applied power, even though he was then in his early 50s.
The other great players of the day gave the impression they were trying to smash the ball to smithereens. His rivals-Taylor, Braid, Ray-were "hitters," whereas Vardon "swept" the ball away.
Compared to Vardon, the grips of his rivals were crude, particularly by today's standards. Vardon employed a light grip using the overlapping method, which still bears his name even though it was used earlier by a Scottish amateur, John Laidlay.
Vardon was born in Jersey, one of the Channel Islands, renowned today as a haven for tax avoiders. It was there he learned the game as a caddie. He came to England as an assistant professional in 1890 when he was 20. In 1903 he was appointed head pro at the South Herts Golf Club in north London, where he remained until his death. He lived modestly in a small house no more than 300 yards from the clubhouse.
Vardon's greatest achievement was winning the British Open six times between 1896 and 1914. Braid and Taylor each won five, as did Peter Thomson and Tom Watson in modern days. I feel Vardon has been poorly treated by his appraisers, who inevitably rank Nicklaus, Hogan, Jones, and Palmer as the century's greatest players. I've always thought the century should be divided in two, due to changes in equipment, but I can't comprehend how anyone could be so certain that Vardon does not rate a place at the top, especially if victories in major championships is the primary measurement.
Vardon won seven, but aside from his three visits to the U.S., the only major available to him was the British Open. If it had been "convenient" for Vardon to play in every U.S. Open up to 1920-and also let's imagine the existence of the Masters and the PGA Championship the outcome might have been very different. It's possible Tiger Woods would be chasing the record of Harry Vardon rather than Jack Nicklaus.
Vardon won the British Open a record six times (1896, 1898, 1899, 1903, 1911, 1914), and was runner-up four times. He won the U.S. Open in 1900.

Whether or not Office is the suite of your dreams remains to be seen, but there's no getting past the fact that it's not cheap, particularly for those of us who have to purchase software for ourselves. Even in the most basic Home and Student, download-only form it's going to set you back £75 or more, and if you want to use the app for business purposes then you're looking at a minimum cost of £190 or so, and potentially more.
The fact is that many of us don't actually need Office at all. The old maxim that 80 per cent of users only use 20 per cent of the features still holds true, and while Office's sprawling feature set and position as the industry-standard business app make it the default choice for the big corporations, the rest of us have other options to explore.
For a few years Office had the market pretty much to itself, but there are now some strong alternatives available, and several of these are completely free to download and use. Some, like OpenOffice.Org and IBM's Symphony, are fully-featured Office alternatives with enough power for even the most demanding users. Others, like Google Docs and its lesser-known rivals, ThinkFree Online and Zoho, consist of online applications which give you tools for handling the most common Office tasks, plus rich features that can help us share work with others. You might find that you can get all the Office apps you need without having to pay a single penny.
Microsoft has even realised the threat from these free alternatives in launching its Office Web Apps, which we'll be covering in our Office 2010 review tomorrow. Here, however, we're going to cast our expert eye over the five most popular non-Microsoft free alternatives, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and take a look at whether they might work for you.

Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull has foreshadowed deeper cuts to the ABC and SBS in coming years, warning the "age of entitlement" for the public broadcasters is over.
In an interview with Fairfax Media, Mr Turnbull said the broadcasters, whose funding has been cut by $43.5 million over four years, should be relieved the axe did not fall harder on them in the May budget.
The Abbott government's efficiency review of the ABC and SBS has identified tens of millions of dollars worth of potential savings and will be presented to the ABC board this week.
The ABC and SBS managing directors argued in Senate hearings last week that the broadcasters should be allowed to reinvest any savings identified through the review into new programs and services – an argument Mr Turnbull dismisses as "ridiculous".
"I can understand why that's what they might ask for but if there's money that can be saved – and there is – why should it not contribute to the reduction of the deficit?" he said.
"Haven't they read Mr Hockey's speech? The age of entitlement is over. Cuts have been made to the ABC in the budget, which we have said are a down payment on the review. That means we would expect more savings to be forthcoming following the completion of this process."
Mr Turnbull, who last week launched a new parliamentary Friends of the ABC group, dismissed concerns further cuts could put at risk popular programs such as the children's television program Peppa Pig or World Cup soccer broadcasts.
"We want to make sure any savings are achieved with the minimal – in fact, a nil – impact on programming," he said. "Without an exercise like this, I think the ABC ultimately would have cut programming because this is harder."
The 146-page efficiency review recommends closer co-operation between the broadcasters, including moving SBS into ABC headquarters – a move former prime minister Malcolm Fraser says would be "the first step towards the abolition of the SBS".
The review, led by former Seven West Media chief financial officer Peter Lewis, is also expected to recommend increasing the amount of advertising on SBS television and outsourcing some payroll, human resources and legal functions to the private sector.
Although Mr Turnbull cannot force the broadcasters to accept any of the review's recommendations, he says he expects them to make tough savings decisions. He is prepared to make public recommendations to them on potential savings measures.
Mr Turnbull said the ABC and SBS should be relieved they were spared a permanent efficiency dividend in the May budget, which would have required deep and continuous cuts to spending.
According to Liberal Party sources Mr Turnbull lobbied against an efficiency dividend, which was being considered by the government's Expenditure Review Committee.
Mr Turnbull refused to comment on this.
"I couldn't possibly comment on any of the processes leading up to the budget," he said.
The ABC's managing director, Mark Scott, told Senate hearings that the broadcaster would become less compelling and relevant if it could not reinvest savings in new services such as News 24 or iView.

On Saturday morning three of us hunted the Columbia River North of 205. At shooting time the birds were not shy to calls or decoys. There was ice on the river and the wind pushing down the gorge made for some challenging conditions but overall, it was a birdy start to the morning. With a few medium size flocks decoying well, the first two hours were entertaining. After that, clear cold skies with only a single or pair of birds flying by. Hunted 7am-12pm before the cold was too much.. There was more opportunity then reflected in the results:
Totals for the day:
2 Drake Mallards
1 Gadwall
1 Pintail
Did I mention Cold, Cold, Cold!!

Can any of you SoCal guys tell me what roads are must drive roads in the LA area for some spirited driving? And does anyone know if any part of the Crest is open? Just trying to do a little planning before a trip out there.
Can any of you SoCal guys tell me what roads are must drive roads in the LA area for some spirited driving? And does anyone know if any part of the Crest is open? Just trying to do a little planning before a trip out there.
The Santa Monica Mountains, especially Decker Canyon Rd. , Encinal Canyon Rd. and the most hellish of all, Latigo Canyon from PCH to Kanan. (Don't look over the edge). Mullholland from Las Virgenes to Kanan is also a very windy but extremely scenic stretch. As always, watch out for the CHP. My favorite is PCH North through Malibu exit Los Posas then take Portrero Road all the way through Hidden Valley to Westlake Blvd. From there take a right which turns into Decker Canyon. That whole area is one huge fun zone for the sports car driver. Check the map and you will see how it would make sense.
I took the "longer" route this past weekend, on the way to willow, went up angeles crest all the way to the 14... was a real fun drive
To jog my LA memories (when I had a Mustang 5.0 convertible), if I wanted to avoid traffic, I'd take a Sunday morning jaunt.....from my Glendale days, La Tuna Cyn from 210 toward Burbank was always a nice winding drive, and for a real long drive, Angeles Crest Highway.
From my Orange County days, PCH in the south county had its nice spots, but traveling there more recently, I see it as basically a 4-lane route, pretty but not a sports car road. Ortega Hwy (Rt 74) is the more traditional (but congested) sports car road. OC has gotten so built up since the 90's that my expertise about that area is hopelessly obsolete.
"He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless, still dead."
Thanks for the quick replies. This gives me plenty of things to look into. A couple of you mentioned Angeles Crest Hwy. Can anyone confirm its condition from the 210 junction following Hwy 2 (Angeles Crest Hwy) east to the 138 junction and then to 15? Is this open? Heard something about it being closed due to damage from fires. Thanks again.
jhuang has reported that he drove the Angeles all the way to the 14. According to CalTrans, Hwy 2, the Angeles Crest, is closed from the edge of La Canada to Red Box Ranger Station, so I'm not sure what route he took. But on Sunday, we drove from the I-15 end all the way to Red Box. Some fallen rocks on the road, but otherwise beautiful. Some snow left along the road, lots of flowers blooming, and the yucca are going nuts!
Thanks again for the replies and the info.
Mulholland from Topanga to Stunt Road. Stunt to Piuma. Piuma to Las Virgenes. Las Virgenes to...anywhere.
If you want the be all and end all, you must drive Highway 33 from Ojai to Gorman. It is simply the best road I've driven in Socal and I've lived here my whole life.

Another tasty batch of short firey Latin tracks from Tito's immediate post-RCA years! The cuts are a nice mix of mambo jazz numbers and guarachas, with a few cha chas thrown in and they all have that tight raw sound that made Tito's Tico work so much better than most of his 50s stuff. Here's your chance to hear the master bandleader in action especially on the cuts "Samba-Roco", "Agua-Nile", "Vaya Puente", "Timbalero", and "Chino".

| Summer Activities
Want to host a traditional summer barbecue with all the classic food staples without breaking the bank? Follow these seven tips to slash costs without cutting flavor! Perfect for a patriotic 4th of July, or any time.
There are few things more American than celebrating Independence Day with a backyard barbecue. Unfortunately, food prices are at record highs and traditional barbecue fare—like hamburgers or baby-back ribs—are especially affected. According to recent news, meat prices are at an all-time high with ground beef prices increasing a whopping 76 percent over the last five years. Meanwhile, pork prices are up 10 percent from 2013 and dairy products have had six consecutive months of price increases.
What's a patriotic family on a budget to do? Consider these seven tips to slash your July 4th food costs without cutting out all the flavor.
1. Compare Fresh vs. Frozen Many grocers will promote deals on ground beef just before the holiday to push sales, meaning fresh meat can cost less than frozen. Compare prices by reviewing circulars of surrounding grocery stores and don't be afraid to snag the manager markdowns, either; you can save up to 60 percent by shopping this way. Just make sure to freeze any meat with a quick expiration date if bought ahead of your barbecue.
2. Serve Buffet Style Step aside, burgers and dogs! Buffets are all the rage these days because they're cheap and easy. A taco bar, for example, is an instant crowd pleaser especially when you add avocado and fresh cilantro to the mix. If you want to avoid paying for beef this weekend, consider chicken tacos served with the typical accoutrements like shredded cheese, lettuce, and tomato. If you need more guidance, this Chicken Soft Tacos recipe from AllRecipes is sure to be a hit!
3. Keep Starters Simple It's easy to get caught up in hosting and have grand ideas of serving shrimp cocktail, vegetable crudités, and artisan antipasti before unveiling the spit-roasted pig. However, it's equally easy to over-serve in this department and end up with a ton of leftovers (and therefore wasted money). Keep starters simple and small, and stick with chips and dip, party mix, and seasonal fruit.
4. Skip the Bakery Skip the bakery department at your grocery store and save over 100 percent by baking the sweet stuff yourself. You can even cut corners and save time by picking up frozen pie crusts and boxed cake mix, both of which cost less than pre-made cakes, cookies, pies, and other treats. Also, don't forget to look for grocery coupons on sites like CouponSherpa.com, where you can find manufacturer's coupons for dessert brands like Breyers and Hershey's.
5. Shop Sales for Soda You may think buying soda in bulk from warehouse club stores is your best bet, but think again; soda goes on sale frequently, especially leading up to July 4. In fact, many grocery stores are offering their own bulk deals, like four 12-packs of soda for $11. Capitalize on these grocery store promotions by keeping your eyes peeled and stocking up on your favorite flavors as they go on special.
6. Make Your Own When it comes to marinades, dressings, and refreshments, you can save anywhere from 30 to 60 percent by making your own. Lemonade and iced tea are popular beverages this time of year, both of which can easily and cheaply be made at home! What's more, all you need are pantry basics like garlic, vinegar, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper to add mouthwatering flavor to grilled meats and vegetables. Check this list of marinade recipes for ideas.
7. Personalize With Printables There's no sense in spending money on decor you'll toss out with the napkins and paper plates at the end of the night. You can find creative cupcake toppers, drink wrappers, table banners, and even printable art to make your July 4th celebration stand out among the rest. Check out this roundup of 10 sites offering summer party printables from InkjetWilly.com, a printer ink comparison site.

Agrilus planipennis
The emerald ash borer is a green, shiny beetle that lives on ash trees in certain parts of Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania. It is an invasive species.
The emerald ash borer has a metallic, bright green body, a flat back and a rounded belly. It grows to one-half inch in length.
Lives in and on ash trees, including black ash, green ash and white ash.
Found in Fairfax County, Virginia, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and several Maryland counties, including Allegheny, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles, Howard and Prince George's. It is native to China and other parts of Asia.
Adults eat ash tree leaves. Young feed on ash tree tissue just under the bark, forming S-shaped lines in the tree.
Woodpeckers prey on emerald ash borer larvae.
Between May and June, adults emerge from ash trees, leaving D-shaped exit holes in the trees. Females lay their eggs on ash tree bark between mid-May and mid-August. After the eggs hatch, larvae burrow under the bark. They feed on the tissue that carries food and water up and down the tree, which starves the tree to death. Larvae remain in the ash tree through the winter.

Having converted to Islam at the age of 8, Stephanie Kurlow was dancing ballet at her mother's dance studio in Sydney. But when she grew too old to continue dancing there, no other schools would accept her. The reason? Her hijab. She was required to take it off. But that didn't stop Stephanie.
At 14, and now determined to become the world's first hijabi ballerina, she still keeps on dancing to prove them wrong and to, as she says, bring the world together through her performing. When we heard of Stephanie's story, we knew we wanted to help. So we gave her the first ever Björn Borg Game Changer Scholarship, to help her pursue her dreams and keep on inspiring more people. With the money, she could afford the tuition to enter a school that would accept her.
In the future, she has the ambition to open up her own performing arts school that caters to young people of all different races and cultures. Nobody should ever be left outside because of race, culture or religion. Stephanie's story has now spread across the world, and has been told by several major news outlets. You go, Stephanie!

how much is a basset hound?

To groom, to have, or how much is it physically? I think you mean to have and that depends on your area, breeder vs shelter, and many other things.
Jet answered on 10/27/09. Helpful? / 0
A rescue costs less than a good breeder, and an animal shelter costs less than a rescue. The price varies according to area. Approximately 25% of dogs in a shelter or rescue group are purebred. There are also breed-specific rescues.
Dogs from a good breeder are more likely to be healthy since good breeders will only breed their healthiest dogs, however.
If you decide to buy from a breeder, be sure to read up on what to look for in one. My site is all about that:
Animal shelter misconceptions:
1. <All shelter dogs have behavior problems.>
Actually, no. The number one reason for a dog to be at the shelter in general is because the family was moving. Good animal shelters do temperament test the dogs, and they can tell you which may be a good match for you.
2. <All animal shelter dogs will have health problems.>
Not always. Or even most of the time, probably. The shelter I volunteer at puts their dogs with health problems in foster homes until they are well enough to be adopted. I've had my shelter dog for two years now, and he's only had one problem: dry eye. Which is not related to genetic health problems.
3. <Animal shelters are filthy.>
Try keeping a building or two full of dogs, cats, and a few other animals clean with only a handful of staff and volunteers. At any rate, the shelters I have been to could hardly be described as "filthy".
That abouts does it. I'm not assuming anything about you, the misconceptions list was only "just in case".

We have 3 dogs that we found homeless and our 4 year old son was wanting a new Basset Hound puppy. We checked at our local shelter first and there were none. We called our veternarian and found a breeder and our new addition cost us $250.00. We didn't expect to pay that much but I guess parents will do the unthinkable for their children. He's a beautiful puppy and we're thrilled to have him. If you do decide to buy from a breeder, just be careful.

About what I expected from Carnival: Carnival Magic Cruise Review by winstons_99
Overall Member Rating
About what I expected from Carnival
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Galveston
We arrived at approx 1:30pm by private car and had no wait to get on board. Great time to arrive if you do not like to wait. I have found this true on all my previous sailings.
My first impression of the ship was it is very confusing. I learned quickly that you could not take the mid ship elevators to the restaurant on Deck 3. If dining in the Northern Lights, which requires to enter on Deck 3, you have to use the forward elevators only. The atrium in front of the dining room was very small. I always felt the area was crowded with people and no good places to sit and relax. On Deck 4, there is also almost no areas to sit. You can only walk on one side of the ship to get around. On a boat that can take More 3k+ people, this is just to cramped for me. I believe they sacrifice public areas to put more cabins on board.
We chose any time dining with usually getting in line around 6pm. Some times there would be no line, but on at least 3 occasions the line was backed up into the elevator lobby and would take 10-15 min to get seated. The food I would rate as average. Some nights better than others. The biggest complaint we had, after eating in the dinning room every night, was the service was slow. Staff was friendly but they looked like they are assigned to many tables to cover efficiently.
Our room was on deck 9 mid ship with a balcony. This room is just below the pool deck and buffet. Very noisy cabin. I originally thought this would be a ideal area to be in. Close to the mid ship elevators and easy access to the Lido deck. What it turned out was to be very noisy with crowd noise in the hallway and could hear the TV in adjacent room. Always heard the chairs being moved around up on the Lido deck. I would not book in this area again. From reading other reviews I would try to get on the Lido deck or Spa deck. Those cabins appear to be in a quieter area with less foot traffic in the hallways. Other than the noise issue I thought the cabin was comfortable for the 3 of us in the room. A/C worked very well, in fact at times to well. No issues with the shower area. I believe this was the biggest shower area I have had on previous cruises on older ships.
Getting off the boat went smooth. They left us notes telling us to expect longer wait times because we visited Belize. From the time they called our group number to disembark to walk through Customs at 9:30am, took approx 20 min. Not bad in my estimation. Once again we went back in private car and had no problems with the disembarkation.
Overall I would sail again on the Carnival Magic. I would just try to find a quitter cabin to be in. Less

Albertans want Romney to Win
Our local news station had a little poll this morning. So far 61% want Romney to win...

Perhaps because of his comments about approving the keystone pipeline on day one? Not that I in any way trust online polls to be even remotely accurate.
Alberta, the Texas of Canada :laugh:
//Missed stampede this last summer. boo.
No no, it's okay. We'll keep our oil. You can buy from the Saudi's and we'll export to china. If BC doesn't want to allow a pipeline through either we'll just pave over BC. :D
I even have a flickr tag for my Alberta stuff.
Can't wait to go back to ride Banff in a few months.
If I only have two days, do you suggest Lake Louise? Wife doesn't care for Sunshine, she says it's kinda blah.
Anyway, I'm not that fond of sunshine either. There's a few people on here that rave about it, but it wasn't my cup of tea. Too many flat areas, not nearly enough trees for my liking.
We've got Lake Louise on our season pass this year, it's one of my faves. Although if you can swing it I'd go to Fernie for a couple days instead. It's 3 hours from Calgary (maybe 3:15 from the airport) but as long as it's not raining the snow is fantastic and there's TONS of off-piste terrain.
The hills are opening in a month. Can't wait!!! :D
The biggest thing is the guy does what he said he would do. Long gun registry? Gone. Taxes? Lowered. Tough on crime bill? Passed.
I don't agree with the federal conservatives on everything. My biggest issue is their stance on drugs. I'm for a support/rehabilitate/educate style system instead of a mandatory minimum sentence system. However this issue is small enough to me versus the other larger issues which I agree on.

UHS to begin early college program

Students will have the chance to get a head start on their college education this year with the Eastern New Mexico University Early College Program.
The program allows students to start earning college credit, along with their high school credit, at the beginning of their high school career.
"The concept is[auth] …to complete their…four years of high school with an associate's (degree) and a high school diploma all at the same time," said Porter Cotrell, University High School principal.
The program has been in the works for a year now and gives the students the opportunity to be in a college environment, as the program will be held at University High School and Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell.
"We're really excited about this early college high school model. It has career pathways that lead to jobs within our community that are those high-paying jobs," said Roswell Independent School District Superintendent Tom Burris.
For the first two years, students will attend UHS where they will be taught by adjunct professors. The professors are UHS teachers who have been certified as adjunct professors.
"The great thing about that is (teachers are) able to weave the benchmarks and standards … that the state wants us to have. Like in junior English, we can even incorporate it into English 101 or whatever if we want to teach a dual credit English during one of those parts of those deals," Cotrell said. "This gives us the ability to kind of blend the best of both worlds."
Students who enroll in the early college program will have their schedule tailored made just for them, Cotrell said.
Although one credit hour at ENMU-R is $199 before the cost of textbooks or school fees, the program is free to the students that do the early college program.
"This is a lot of win right here for kids who want … to really get serious, this is the lottery win, I think," Cotrell said.
During the early college program, students can either work for an associate's degree in fields such as auto technology, industrial engineering technology, aviation technology or health, or they can take general education classes.
Students also can play sports for their home school while enrolled in the early college program.
"You're legally allowed to play at whatever your home school is," Cotrell said.
The schools are not trying to do this for a profit, though. Roswell Independent Schools are trying to help every student in the district.
"Not every kid is going to go to college. Some kids are going to do the career technical pathway and … the more of this that we offer, I think the better off we are," said Burris.
Cotrell and UHS are working hard to find the students that want to put forth the effort since college may be harder for some students. Since the program starts during students' freshman year of high school, they have to know what they want as well, Cotrell said.
"You gotta plan ahead and you gotta work at it," he said. "It's not a gimme."
Students who have already enrolled in the early college program understand what they are signing up for.
Madison Benedict will be attending UHS for the program in the fall so he can get ahead in a mechanics career.
"None of the other high schools, like, really had a mechanics career for college," he said.
Benedict learned about the program when he went on a field trip to ENMU-R with Berrendo Middle School.
When he came home after the field trip, he told his parents that he wanted to do the program and they were supportive.
"When we heard it was up and running, we wanted to be a part of it," said Bobbie, his mother.
She thinks the program will help her son mature and "buckle down."
"I like the school and I like the small classes and I think he's going to have a good relationship with lots of different people and peers and hopefully mentors," she said.
For students to get involved with the Eastern New Mexico University Early College Program, all they need to have is good grades, good work ethic and a good attitude, she said.
"All we're really looking for is a few kids with a GPA of … 2.5 or better that can put their hand up and say 'yeah, man, I really want to work at it,'" Cotrell said.
Kids who enroll in the program this year as well will receive their own laptop to use in classes since a lot of their work will be on Blackboard, a program online used by universities to post assignments, grades and announcements.
"These kids will come out of this program with an associate's degree and possibility certifications in different areas so that their job market is much wider," Burris said.
UHS starts Aug. 14 and they are still accepting students for the early college program. If students are interested in the program or filling out an application, they can call 575-627-2752.
"Whatever you want to do, you have all different opportunities here at Eastern and all it takes is for you to get out here for us to customize a plan that's going to work for you," Cotrell said.

The Grinches Who Stole Summer
Posted on Jul 21, 2010
It was a branding moment. With their lock-step vote against extending unemployment benefits, the Republicans are indelibly marked as not only heartless but also frivolous in their much-professed concern over the soaring national debt. Thanks to the defection of the two relatively enlightened Republican senators from Maine and the quick replacement of the late Democratic Sen. Robert Byrd, unemployment checks that had been stalled for millions of American families since early June will soon resume. But for Republicans, it has been a defining issue that will haunt the party.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
While holding unemployment checks hostage to demands for compensating budget cuts, Republican leaders claimed to support the extension of benefits. They rejected the argument of some on the harder ideological right that the average payment of $309 per week is the lucrative prize that keeps the unemployed from going back to work. They also conceded the obvious, that money given to the unemployed will stimulate the economy at a high multiplier effect because it is money that will be spent rather than hoarded.
Clearly the unemployed are far more likely to spend the money they receive than would the recipients of tax cuts for the rich that the GOP leadership so blithely recommends. And as House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer, D-Md., was able to crow, while the Republicans demand a cut in spending to cover the costs of unemployment insurance, they make no such demand for their tax-cut proposal: "Our Republican colleagues say, 'No, you have got to pay for that, but you don't have to pay for a tax cut for the wealthiest people in America' which is about 20 times as much as the unemployment insurance."
Their excuse for separating 2.5 million families from the checks needed to keep food on the table and cover the rent is that the GOP leadership wanted to send a message, in the words of the third-ranking Republican, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, that the "federal debt has grown to an alarming level, where it is threatening the future of our children and grandchildren."

Few, even in the GOP leadership, would deny that the 8 million who lost their jobs due to the banking debacle were the innocent victims of reckless banking policies. "There is no debate in the Senate about whether we should pass a bill—everyone agrees that we should," stated Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "What we do not support—and we make no apologies for—is borrowing tens of billions of dollars to pass this bill at a time when the national debt is spinning completely out of control."
Why no apologies for drawing the line at the expense of the victims but not when it came to bailing out the victimizers? Clearly the unemployed are the victims of forces far beyond their own control, beginning with a housing market wrecked by the Ponzi scheme of securitized mortgage debt made legal through financial deregulation that virtually all Republicans, and too many Democrats, long supported. Why is it acceptable for our government through the Federal Reserve to have bought up $1.2 trillion of those toxic debt obligations in a handout to the bankers who devised and sold them but balk at committing a tiny fraction of that spending to helping those thrown out of work?
That is the nub of it, and once again folks with a social conscience are left with a failed two-party system in which the Democrats, with much responsibility for this banking mess, must at worst be judged the lesser evil.

To pre-suppose this mosrt recent effort to keep the "lower classes - working folk " beaten down will hurt them is ludicrous. Their whole history has been nothing but that if anyone was paying attention. They know they don't have to even pretend they represent us anymore. They have complete control of the media. They have control of the information flow out to dumbfuckistan. Look at all the furor against Obama after the last 8 yr.s of an adminiistration's criminal behavior with the repub.s goosetepping it all the way. Did it really hurt them ? The ratio of idiots in this country has multiplied to the point we are lost short of a real people's revolution…and that ain't happening..I read that Karl Rove is gearing up his slime machine for the next elections….I read that the GOP is working on a comeback for the Bush family in the name of ( election fraud ) Jeb….we are certainly too damn dumb to deserve better.

Meaning no disrespect whatsoever to "Hulk2008" and the many millions likely sharing his no-doubt sincere allegiance to his "country" (acted upon in-part by fulfilling his "duty of voting"), one nevertheless wonders what he and his compatriots see as their responsibility, as Human Beings, to this Living Earth who originally engendered and still generously sustains their Kind. All She really needs from us is our precious attention and genuine respect. So are those "paying" theirs instead to such artificial contrivances as nation-states (with their invented "political" systems) and "the economy" (with its rigged financial pyramid-scheme) and religious ideologies (with their disembodied but paradoxically anal-retentive "entities") somehow derelict in their performance of some greater and more ancient "duty"?
Could this be but one example of the pandemic of misplaced priorities presently devastating the more-and-more miserable half-lives of more-and-more "citizens" everywhere? "Hulk2008" might reflect on what "voting" (and the paid-for politicians it results-in) has done for him lately, as compared with The Sun, say, without whose unfailing daily delivery of altogether free Light and Warmth (which he, like nearly all his domesticated fellows, probably takes entirely for granted) they'd all be, well, they just wouldn't be at-all now, would they?
Here on Turtle island we got along quite sufficiently together before we met the "americans" with their "Constitution." We'll get along just fine without them when they're gone, too. Not so, however, without the support of Sky Father and Mother Earth and All Our Relations. So where do you suppose we're inclined to place our loyalties, and to whom express our gratitude?

Excuse me while I steal a line from George Carlin and change it just a little, Mitch McConnell is a perfect symbol for this country. He looks like he hasn't taken a shit in a month!

Great picture of Mitch O'Connell, the face of Repubicanism.As for the Federal deficit proceeds they are doled out to the CORPORATE WELFARE KINGS and represents the only entitlement recipients.FOLLOW THE MONEY huge deficits, huge increases in the Pentagons and security agency budgets while their taxes were either or reduced or eliminated for the CORPORATE WELFARE KINGS simultaneously. The Repubicans vote 100% to fund the National Security Police state, never denied Bush a budget deficit increase and now whine about the deficit proceeds that fund the Police State while funding the Police State. This nonsense either escapes or is accepted because Americans have been forged into mindlessness by the institutions of government, business[ads]and pretend christian churches with false doctines which legitimizes mindlessness which is taught with "no child left behind".

I don't really give a damn about the Republicans, Democrats or Obama, none of them are doing a damn thing to put people back to work in this country. They just keep pursuing the same tried and failed policies that got us here in the first place! The problem is, the American sheeple seem to be just fine with the status quo!

I still just think it is just the Democrats pretending they care about people and
Here is a question: what about Obama's 'social compassion' when making that
