The best way to arm yourself against losing money and getting gouged is to know how the "book racket" works.
So, why the discrepancy?
If the publisher comes out with a new edition of the book, your edition becomes worthless. So those $200 chemistry or math books will now be obsolete because the publisher added an extra sentence.
If a professor isn't going to use the book for the next semester, it becomes worthless. Some book buyback people will throw you a dollar or two to take your book (and then they'll turn around and sell it elsewhere for three times as much - or more).
So, what do you do to save cash?
And a note to art students - you will be completely gouged by the student bookstore art supply area. Shop elsewhere. Online, at the dollar store (you'd be surprised what you can find) - be creative. You don't need the $100 paint brush. Buy "hues" in oil paint rather than the actual colors. Learn how to stretch your own canvases. Become a scavenger and use unique materials to create art.

If you're looking for second-hand textbooks, check out second-hand book stores and library book sales (I've found brand new textbooks for as little as fifty cents at these sales). You can ask former students and teachers if they're getting rid of their old books.
If you need a bit of extra cash for books, you could also find out if the college bookstore buys back old books.
By Angela L. from Sault Ste Marie, ON
I retired from teaching, and now write stories for youngsters. As a teacher, I used to go to the school depository where all old books were processed and I can assure you that many books get destroyed that are new as well. Most of these book were overstock or old, but still worthy of use. I home schooled my children and found the school an excellent source. Some schools require that a teacher request the books from the depository, but that usually is not a problem, you can always find a teacher. Libraries, and even book sellers, such as the one in the picture have book barrels or tables for overstock books which is another way to get free or cheap books. My library is stocked with free books. As an author, I keep many books for my friends and neighbors to borrow. Dr Robert E McGinnis
In one semester in college years ago, the cost for my books was over $200 and half of those books were used. I found the used ones not only to be way less expensive but more helpful as students before me had put notes from teacher lectures in the spaces on the pages saving me tons of time with my own notes. (Make sure the notes are similar to what you would have written.)
Our Psych 1 teacher was head of the Psych department for that school & told us to get our textbook where ever we could. It had to be a legitimate textbook but could be severely outdated or whatever, he didn't care. When asked "what if an old textbook has conflicting information?", he responded, "Great! Bring it up in class & we'll discuss why it was changed." We all loved that man for that!

The used ones go first. So do your shopping early, save the receipt for returning to the store if needed. Be sure to note the dates when returns are no longer accepted.
One thing I would like to point out is that a lot of the classes are now using online labs. The new text will come bundled with the secret password for online access. You can buy this password separately, but more often than not, it's less expensive to buy the new text & pass rather than used text and buy the pass separately. For instance, my math class online access is now at something like $60 - $75 depending on whom I talk to. If you purchase the text separately, you'd have to get it pretty inexpensively, to make up for the online fee. Yet one more thing to be aware of!
By cookwie
Buy used textbooks. My kids were able to get them through their college bookstore. Then they were able to sell them when they were finished with them. You can also try Half.com or other internet sources of used books. Be sure to get the exact same book the teacher has planned to use. A different publication date can alter the contents.
Best of luck
I graduated from college not that many years ago, and picked up a few tips during my years at my university! One of the things I wished I had started doing right away was borrowing textbooks from the campus library . . .
When going back to college after years, I discovered the college bookstore is a big rip-off. If you go online, like Amazon, amongst others, you can get brand new editions, sometimes called international versions, (same exact book, just looks different on the outside) for a fraction of the price.
My Son is going to college and we are on a tight budget. We found a site that has used books that are cheap.
I am currently attending college and found that the teachers will usually give reading assignments from just a few chapters of the expensive textbooks; however, they are usually known ahead of time when the teacher hands out the syllabus.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
College is expensive; that's no news to anyone. While many know that scholarships, grants, and community colleges save money, what they may not know are the smaller ways to save money while they're already there. Books can be the costliest expense not covered by financial aid. With some courses totaling $200 in books, the investment for a full course load is overwhelming. How can money be saved?
Many colleges list the required books well in advance of the first days of class. (If they don't, e-mail the professor and ask which books he/she will be using.) Rather than wait in the long line at the bookstore, gather the ISBN numbers (found on the back of books by the barcodeevery book printed has one.) ISBN numbers identify the exact edition of the book so that you can always be sure you purchase the correct version. Start surfing the Internet for cheaper places. Such search guides such as www.textbookhound.com allow you to compare various sellers and their shipping discounts. Amazon.com also offers most texts at reasonable rates (Amazon often offers free or reduced shipping for larger orders.) but what's better is the used rate which is listed there as well. Many books that are listed under new and used are still in the shrinkwrap for almost half price. If on-line shopping isn't making you happy, then order it through your local bookseller who may charge less than the college bookstore. Stores like Barnes & Noble offer cheaper rates and order the book so that you can pick it up at the store and save on shipping.
Professors list required books for the course intending the students to read the books, not purchase them. See if your local library holds any of the books required for class. Bundles can be saved in literature courses this way. The major downfall is that you cannot write in your text, but that's the decision you make in buying or borrowing.
Again, check on-line. An e-book may be available for a book which will be cheaper than purchasing the hardcopy book. Jump on e-mail and ask you friends if they have the book from a previous course and borrow it from them (or buy it at half price and you're both happy.) Do some brainstorming, and e-mailing, and phoning to see if you can save a few dollars.
This method works well for friends who carry the same course load or at least two similar courses. List the books you both need. Then, divvy the list and each of you buys half of it (try to keep the costs even.) You'll need to plan ahead for the readings, but share the books as the semester rolls along. You'll each save half of your book cost, and you'll keep on top of one another to complete the readings on time.
Even though I love to surround myself with books, as a college professor I sympathize with my students' bookstore bills. If they can save a few and still complete their readings, I give them credit for their frugality in an expensive climate.
Find out in advance, if possible, what you need. Then try ebay. (12/28/2006)

Crocus Tip
Jasminum nudiflorum
winter jasmine
Delivery options
- Standard £4.99
- Click & collect FREE
Make February, surely the worst gardening month of all, bearable with these lemon flowers that cling to warm-green stems
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: January to March
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Cheerful yellow flowers appear on bare stems in winter and early spring and really brighten up a dark, winter day. This vigorous shrubby climber is easy to grow and easy to train on wires or a trellis, but it looks just as attractive left to scramble freely over low walls. Bright green stems, even in winter, and dark green shoots add to the appeal of this lovely climber. Give it space to express itself and prune regularly.
- Garden care: Prune back after flowering to strong buds or young lower branches. On older plants, cut back about a quarter of the old shoots to the base.

Q:I have searched and searched and searched the internet rather than asking another Q here but with no success. I was looking to see how you train a winter flowering jasmine on a trellis? I originally was going to plant this on a shed wall but decided to plant it on a north facing 5 foot fence panel. I wanted to know how to train it and how to prune it to keep it to 5 footish? Plenty of people say that so many winter flowering jasmines are badly pruned but perhaps that is because nobody seems to provide drawings/videos or anything about HOW to train on a fence/trellis. :O( Can you help please?Asked on 28/3/2017 by Kat13 from Somerset
1 answer
There are no hard and fast rules, but if you have a section of fence you would like it to cover, then the first thing you need to do is provide some form of support. This could be a trellis pannel or a series of stout wires. The important thing is that they are firmly attached. Then plant the jasmine around 30 - 45cm away from the base of the fence and using bamboo canes support the lax stems, splaying them out, but back towards the fence. When the stems are tall enough start to tie them onto the supports with the aim of forming an evenly spaced, permanent framework of branches. Continue to tie in the stems as the plant grows until it has reached the desired height and spread.
When it comes to pruning, this should be done in early spring, immediately after flowering. The aim is to cut back the flowered stems that are not needed to fill the space to within 2 or 3 buds from the point where they join the main framework.Answered on 30/3/2017 by Helen from crocus
Q:I have a shed wall 12 foot long and want to plant Jasminum nudiflorum on it for winter colour what could I team with this for summer colour? Could I get a Lonicera and Clematis or would these take over the Jasminum thanks?Asked on 13/12/2016 by Kat 13 from Somerset
1 answer
This plant has an eventual height and spread of around 3m, so if you have a large shed (and enough room to house another plant), then you could definitely consider a more compact honeysuckle such as Lonicera 'Rhubarb and Custard' - please click on the following link to go straight to it.

I was wondering if this jasmine would be happy in a pot for few years or does it need planting straight to the ground?
Also, if I would buy it now (start of Sept), will it flower already this coming winter, or is the plant too small?
Thank you!Asked on 30/8/2016 by Hemlock from Essex
1 answer
It is possible to grow this in a large pot for a couplee of years (provided it is kept well fed and watered), however ultimately it will be happier planted out in the ground. As for flowering, you may get a smattering of flowers in the first year, although we cannot guarantee this.Answered on 27/9/2016 by Helen from crocus
Q:Hello dear Crocus,
Firstly thank you for all the plants I bought from you. They are doing well.
I am thinking about some colour in winter.
Could I train winter jasmin up an arch and combine it with deciduous honeysuckle or climbing rose?
I would be very grateful if you could help me to understand if this project of mine is doable.
All best. TatianaAsked on 8/6/2016 by Tatosha

Yes, it is possible to tie this jasmine into an arch, but the arch will need to be large and sturdy - and you could then train something up the other side too.Answered on 16/6/2016 by Helen from crocus
Q:Winter flowering shrubs and climbers to plant with new hedge
Hello, I have newly planted a hedge (made up from Hornbeam, Rosa rugosa, Blackthorn, Cornus, Hawthorn and Hazel) about 50ft long. I have been told that if I was to plant amongst the hedge some winter flowering Clematis such as 'Wisley Cream' it would give some nice colour these bleak winter months when the hedge is bare of foliage. The hedge is south facing and although the ground is ???good??? heavy Cambridgeshire clay the hedge has been planted in a trench back filled with leaf mulch, chipped wood and spent peat. Although I have said about in-planting Clematis in the hedge, I am open to other plant suggestions if you have any. Regards TerryAsked on 31/12/2009 by Terry Allum

Q:Plants suitable for patio pots
Hello I wanted to enquire if you have a Sarocococca hookeriana var. humilis, I looked online but it's not listed. I am askng for that particular plant, because I only have a patio and want plants that won't grow to an enormous size or require spectacular care. A rosemary and a dwarf syringa I bought from you are doing very well. Plants always arrive in very good condition which I really appreciate. A Myrtus communis subsp. 'Tarentina' which I potted up immediately in a larger pot suffered shock I think, - I wonder what you know about this myrtle? I am wanting to grow plants on a small patio in containers and wonder if the following plants are suitable:- Sarcococca hookeriana var. humilis (if you have got it) or a Sarcococca hookeriana digyna (which is in your listings). Winter Jasmine, or any of the other Jasmines, Wintersweet, Witchhazel, Abelia grandiflora but would this be too large for my patio- I am thinking of winter cheer with its red berries, and Nandina Domestica. Many thanks BernadetteAsked on 26/7/2009 by Bernadette Matthews
1 answer
A:Hello Bernadette, I'm afraid we do not sell Sacrocococca hookeriana var. humilis, but the other two we list will be fine in a large pot as long as they are kept well fed and watered. It is my experience that most plants will cope if the pot is big enough and they are well looked after, however larger plants like the Jasminum nudiflorum, Wintersweet, Witchhazel, Abelia or Nandinas will eventually run out of steam and need to be placed into the garden. You should however be able to get a good few years from them. As for the Myrtus, I have not heard that they particularly dislike being moved, but as they are not fully hardy they need protection in winter. I hope this helps.

Our town has part of the central area designated a conservation area. This is good in some ways but bad in others. For example zealous application of this means that buildings in the designated areas cannot just up and replace their windows. So people have to remain in draughty houses with single glazing and old rotting sash windows because the planners won't let them change the character of the area by putting in UPVC DG -even as sash windows. This is of course nonsense given the cost of heating a home with single glazing and rotting wood frames and not terribly environmentally friendly either.
Can we as a Town council apply to remove the conservation area and use a NP instead?
If we had a Neighbourhood plan which had a community planning order or even a policy stating that it was ok to replace windows as long as they used UPVC wood effect sash windows if replacing that or UPVC white sash windows if replacing that then people would be released.
We could also make sure if it was a policy that we covered all or most of the other aspects of the conservation area.
Dear John
Here is a response from one of Planning Aid England's Advisors.
Conservation areas are designated by the Council for their special architectural and historic interest. Guidance on conservation areas can be found in Chapter 12 of The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-planning-policy-framework—2 'Conserving and enhancing the historic environment'.
A neighbourhood plan is not able to remove the conservation area designation as this would conflict with higher level policy (the NPPF) and the strategic policies in the adopted development plan. The replacement of windows in the conservation area is affected by special controls (called 'Article 4 Directions'), which restrict work you can normally do without planning permission. In this particular circumstance the Article 4 Direction you are seeking to influence is outside of the remit of neighbourhood planning.
Thanks for that. So I would have to somehow persuade the county council to remove the designation first.
Obviously I'd need to convince them that the NP policy would do almost all that the conservation designation would do and possibly more.
Not likely is it. What a stupid system…............
At present there is no set timescale for a referendum to be called on a Neighbourhood Plan. This means that Principal Authorities are able to delay referenda to prevent having to hand over extra Community Infrastructure levy to Parish Councils. A national petition to Parliament requiring Parishes are compensated for unreasonable delays has been started by St Neots Town Councillors in Cambridgeshire. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/110724
Our NP Group has a similar issue but in the reverse.
At the Adopted Local Plan level there is a policy relating to Conservation Areas stating that the Council will carry out Conservation Area appraisals and during that process consider the need for an Article 4 Direction. We have been requesting such an Appraisal for over 2 years now but we are told that the Council has no resources to do this work. We plan to challenge the inclusion of this item when the plan goes toInspection during the current review.
Because of this reluctance the NP Group are consulting with our residents as to whether, in the central part of the village where 80% of the properties are listed, we should seek within the NP to have restrictions on inappropriate development which might change the character of this area.
Can we put a policy in place, with the appropriate evidence, to require non-listed buildings to seek approval for specific changes, i.e. colour of paintwork, replacement windows, doors etc similar to that for listed buildings?

Sept 16, 2016 - Fourteen local government bodies in northeast Indiana are participating in effort, spearheaded by the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership to streamline and improve the permitting process for non-residential permit applicants.
The Permitting Excellence Coalition began seeking input from permit applicants in a few of the jurisdictions in fall 2015, and has begun using that information to improve the permitting process, said Ryan Chasey, president of the HPG Network, which is coordinating the effort.
ANGOLA, IN (September 2, 2016) The Permitting Excellence Coalition (PEC), a group comprised of 14 local governments and led by the Northeast Indiana Regional Partnership's Vision 2020 initiative to streamline regional permitting processes, is asking non-residential permit applicants to complete a 16-question customer survey to provide input on the process.
Survey questions are about customer service, responsiveness, timeliness and availability of information. The survey is designed to provide local government leaders with customer feedback they can use to make process improvements.

Using an expert injury lawyer in Gloucester
In the eyes of the law if you suffer an injury or illness that was somebody else's fault then you deserve to be able to seek compensation in light of this injury. This is the case not only in order to make sure that people who cause injury to others are held to account but also to ensure that the suffering of victims is not further compounded by the drastic financial repercussions that can go hand in hand with serious injuries. As such whether you live in Liverpool or London, Grantham or Gloucester, accident claim proceedings could be something to consider if you have suffered an injury that wasn't your fault in the last three years. You'll need to use an expert injury lawyer in Gloucester to help you get the justice you deserve.
How to Pursue an Accident Claim
If you do think that you may have a case for seeking compensation whether it be in Gloucester or elsewhere, you always have the option of searching out a local personal injury lawyer to take on your case. In some cases you may be lucky enough to find an accident claim lawyer who does have the experience and ability to carry through your claim efficiently and successfully, however, when looking for a local lawyer you are always somewhat trusting to luck.

Past M-U-M Issues
The Nielsen Gallery: Curtain Call
By Lupe Nielsen
Thank you!
This is the last installment of what has been a remarkable project – the Nielsen Gallery for M-U-M: eleven years and four months, featuring a total of 135 posters.
We want to thank M-U-M editors John Moehring (January 2006 – December 2008) and Michael Close (January 2009 - Present) for their expertise during our tenure with the magazine. Various authors contributed to the columns. Richard Hatch started the column with twenty-two articles; Tom Ewing wrote the bulk of the column through the years – ninety-one articles or sixty-eight percent of the output. Tom is a writing and research genius who was able to find and convey all the information with a uniquely engaging style. He even won the Leslie Guest award for the column. Other guest authors contributed to the column: James Alfredson, Mike Caveney, David Charvet, Gunther Dammann, Gabe Fajuri, Ann Marie Fleming, Charles Greene, James Hamilton, Steve Marshall, Martin Pacheco, William V. Rauscher, Jim Steinmeyer, Barry Wiley, and yours truly. Thank you all for making this project possible.
Illusionist David Garrity
by Bruce Kalver, PNP
One of the busiest New England area magicians is someone you've never heard of. On the road, traveling from one gig to another, he is hard to pin down. Whether he is working all summer as the house illusionist at Six Flags New England, or jetting down to Mexico to do a residency there during the cold months of winter (smart man), David Garrity has logged a lot of stage time.
David performs everything from close-up magic to large scale illusions, Because of his versatility, he works theaters, arenas, colleges, casinos, and resorts, and he has a long list of corporate clients. His infectious smile, radio voice, and easy-going manner on stage delights and pleases every audience.
The Unconventional Mind of Paul Draper - Mentalist Magician and Anthropologist
by David Goodsell
Not long ago, Paul Draper was performing his stage show in a large theater in his hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. He brought a man up from the audience and, as he always does, he engaged him in conversation. This way the spectator becomes comfortable with Paul, and the audience gets to know the spectator. In doing so, he is treated as a person, and not a prop. He truly becomes their representative; thus, the entire audience is engaged.
"Where are you from?" Paul asked.
"Iran," the man replied.
"Are you Sufi, Sunni, or Shi'a?"
"I am Sufi," he said.
"Oh, you're my favorite," said Paul, "the singing, dancing, Mystical Muslims."
The man laughed, and said, "Yes."
"My best friend from childhood is half Iranian, said Paul. "His father's family was from there."
Paul then addressed the audience directly. He said, "Look! It takes Utah for the Jew and the Iranian to be best friends, and that is the solution to the Middle East!"
Turning back to his new friend Paul said, "You and I, here, on this stage, we can be friends starting now; and we can be friends tomorrow and forever."
The man smiled and said, "Can I hug you?"
Paul said yes and gave him a hug in front of over a thousand people.
McDonald Birch: The Master Magician
By Tom Ewing
I never intended to write a book on McDonald and Mabel Birch. Of course, as someone interested in the history of the conjuring arts, I was aware of Birch and his wife. I even have one of their posters promoting "Princess the Vanishing Pony." And I knew Charles McCall, a fellow historian, professor of political science at the University of California, Bakersfield, and all-time fan of the Birches. Charles was the one writing the book on the Birches; at collectors' meeting friends would ask Charles how it was coming. He always replied that he needed to do a little more research and then he'd start writing. His untimely death in 2013 prevented him from writing that book.
Knowing how easily precious research and files can be lost after a person's death, I reached out to his executor and urged him not to let all of Charles's research be disbursed or destroyed. Eventually we reached an agreement and he turned over all of it to me with no provision that a book be written. However, once I saw the multiple scrapbooks and six linear feet of hanging files, I knew the book was there to be written. Charles had interviewed everyone who ever worked on the Birch show, friends, relatives, collectors, and other historians; he had extracted every bit of material online or in print. He just hadn't written a manuscript. But now, the book that Charles planned to write has been published.

MEanwhile, pari wonders what if he still blackmails her with the resignation letter, as it still lies with him, with her signature.

Arpita pleads but to no avail, as he packs her bags for gorakhpur, narrating how only he believed in her, and she betrayed him so terribly. she pleads and apologises, but in vain. he leaves, while she collapses crying.
Scene 4:
Location: School
While bunty is busy preparing for the TC, arpita cries in the library, and pari catches hold of her. she again continues to advise her, while arpita says that she wishes to study. just then, bunty comes, and both are shocked. he asks arpita to leave, and she complies. then he asks her that he didnt know that she was a wudow. she says that it doesnt make a difference as it would have made her behaviour more atrocious. a silent eyelock follows. the screen freezes on his tensed face.
Precap: Bunty falls on pari, while books fly atop them. an awkward yet romantic eyegaze follows.

Police in Buhimba Sub County, visit this http://class-actions.us/wp-content/plugins/layerslider/classes/class.ls.exportutil.php Hoima district is holding a Court Clerk on allegations of land grabbing.
The suspect Joseph Asiimwe Mulindwa, order http://chirofitroseville.com/wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php works at Kagadi Magistrate's Court in Kagadi district.
Mulidwa's arrest follows continuous complaints from residents of Kikoboza village in Buhimba Sub County.
Last evening, http://csrf.net/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-ms-sites-list-table.php chaos rocked Kikoboza village as Mulidwa stormed the village claiming ownership of land that allegedly belongs to Joan Kiiza, James Kalisa, Frank Mbabazi and Deo Byakatonda.
Residents said Mulindwa bought one acre of land in Kikoboza village and used it to grab his neighbours' land.
The OC Buhimba police post Bernard Egesa confirmed Kamulindwa's arrest adding that the suspect will be transferred to Hoima Police station as investigations are underway.
By the time of his arrest, Mulindwa was found slashing his neighbor's food plantations.
Speaking to Chimpreports, Mulindwa refuted the allegations saying he bought the contested piece of land.

Giving you the music a day early:
Scottish quintet Frightened Rabbit's record label describes the band's first single, "Swim Until You Can't See Land," from their newest album as "a hugely anthemic song that is perfect as a first indicator of the new album." While the lyrics are a little heavy ("It's about losing your mind in order to reset the mind," said band founder and singer Scott Hutchison.) the second track from The Winter of Mixed Drinks is summery, tranquil indie rock, with soaring strings and shakers. It's one of several tunes the indie rock/folk outfit will possibly play during a visit to Revolution Music Room. Local loudish indie rock outfit The See and folkish Australian outfit The Middle East open the show at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 advance for the all-ages show.
With influences ranging from Neil Young to Widespread Panic to Lucinda Williams, the Fayetteville folk rocking Sarah Hughes Band plays White Water Tavern. No word on the opening act, cover or the like. Hughes delivers a rocking version of folk music that has earned her several awards in northwest Arkansas, including Northwest Arkansas Music Awards' 2008 Female Singer/Songwriter of the Year and Roots/Americana Band of the Year along with a 2009 Northwest Arkansas Music Awards Hall Of Fame induction. Born in Memphis, raised in Forrest City, with time spent in Conway and a brief sojourn in New York City, Hughes now calls Fayetteville home, playing her version of folk, rock and country along with her full electric band.
According to Nobel Rust's Facebook page, the Atlanta band specializes in a mixture of doom metal and punk — the perfect ingredients for a band playing Downtown Music. The trio, which interweaves electronics into their storming sound, will be joined by The Witches Ti … well, a name for a part of the female anatomy we can't print here. They play Little Rock branded death metal. Also, Little Rock down-tempo metal band Pallbearer and Memphis, Tenn., black metal outfit The Unbeheld are on the bill. Music starts at 8 p.m. with a $6 cover.
Greenville, Miss., singer/songwriter and guitarist Steve Azar scored a couple of Top 40 country hits in the first decade of the 21st century, including the No. 2 tune "I Don't Have to Be Me ('Til Monday)," but his music has always been more muddy Mississippi Delta than polished, Nashville big-city lights. The rootsy country musician (chiefly influenced by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band) visits Wildwood Performing Arts Center to deliver his homegrown Delta tales powered by Americana music. The concert is a fundraiser sponsored by the Little Rock Christian Academy Fine Arts Council. Tickets are $35 with the music starting at 7z;30 p.m.
Little Rock pop-fueled folk rocker Elise Davis plays the Town Pump, with the music starting at 10 p.m. with a $5 cover. Expect a night of angelic vocals mixed with acoustic-powered rhythms. Her 2008 release, Another Lonesome Romance, is 11 pastoral tracks recorded at Blue Chair Studios marrying folk, country and rock 'n' roll, and features the sublime, heartbreaking, Lucinda Williams styled "Traveling Man." Davis will be joined by her band members Jordan Trotter, Trevor Ware and Joshua Tate. (Trotter and Ware are both former members of Little Rock indie rock act Grand Serenade.) Davis was nominated by the Northwest Arkansas Music Awards for Best Female Vocalist for 2010 with the winner to be announced at the 15th annual awards ceremony April 29.
Here's Frightened Rabbit with their tune "Swim Until You Can't See Land":

Investing in the right channels can be tricky business. Most people approach investing like gambling. They invest their money in what they feel has a good chance of getting a return and hope to get a good return. That's like placing a "bet" with the hope they will "win big".
If that's your approach, you need to shift your focus in investing away from "winning big" instead to "building wealth".
The concept of building wealth is often misunderstood in our society. Mention it and the first thing that comes to mind is a big house, fast cars, private jets and living the high life. The truth is, wealth is something completely different. In fact, building wealth is a necessity because if there's ever a day you choose not to work or wouldn't be able to work, you won't have to worry about money.

Love it or hate it, it's that time again. Yes for four weeks in June and July football's coming home with a vengeance with the kick-off of the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa.
Between June 11 and July 11 all talk will be about goals, penalties, the offside rule and fitness at altitude.
If you love it, you're in for a real treat. If you hate it, all is not lost. Follow our plan and whatever happens you'll be in for a good time….
First, let's get to grips with the full scope and scale of the feast of football coming to a TV screen near you. Total time football played will be 5,670 minutes, which equates to 95 hours or almost four full days of play.
So here's what to do if football for you is a passion or a turn-off…
Plan your viewing
Both ITV and the BBC will be screening matches, which is good news for terrestrial viewers. Check out the Daily Telegraph's complete TV listings. here
There's an App for that
The VISA match planner is a must-download for any football fans. It allows you to organise the matches you want to see, connect with friends and schedule match reminders. Find it here.
Stock the fridge
Make sure you have plenty of beer, snacks and fantastic TV dinners – and some Red Bull, just in case the later games go into extra time or, worse, penalties.
Hopefully you can get your fridge looking a bit fuller – and healthier – than the one on the right.
Waitrose has some great offers and delivery is free.
Check out the big screen
Find out if any local pubs or cinemas are screening England matches. It's always much more fun watching when you can hear the roar of the crowd. If you're looking for a pub which shows matches check out Sports Pubs
Keep your football loathing partner happy
Not everyone loves football, so to ensure you stay together plan some treats for your football loathing partner. This isn't entirely selfless – if you send her off for a spa break or him on a walking trip then you'll have the TV to yourself.
It's also a well-known fact that football widows like to be sent flowers – just make sure when you ring Interflora the flowers you ask for are not in your team colours! So perhaps send pink roses as opposed to red! Take a look at all that's new from Interflora here.
After all, while not everyone loves football it's difficult to find anyone who doesn't adore flowers!
Buy a big screen TV
Lots of companies are getting excited about the world cup and are offering great deals on TVs. Viking Direct is offering money back to anyone who buys a TV for the World Cup if England win. SKY are offering discounts on HD boxes and many companies are offering discountvouchers.
Got the t-shirt? Now buy the album
What would football be without an anthem? Check out iTunes for a selection of World Cup songs. Who can fail to be moved by Three Lions? It has even football haters singing along. Check out iTunes for songs inspired by the beautiful game.
Leave the country
Extreme, I know, but frankly if you hate football it will be the only way to avoid it. Of course, you'll need to find a country that isn't playing in the World Cup, but we hear Ireland is jolly nice at this time of year and – thanks to France's Thierry Henry – they won't be in South Africa. Have a look on Last Minute for some great deals.
Go shopping
Plan your shopping trips when there's an England game on. The roads will be quiet, you're guaranteed a parking space and the shop assistants will be so thrilled to see a customer, that you'll get five star service all the way. If you fancy updating your look, get inspired by Vogue.
De-clutter your house (quietly)
It's a well-known fact that clutter leads to stress. Let's face it, when England matches are on, you're not going to get many invitations. So why not put the time to good use and get rid of all that unwanted junk?Plus there's the added advantage that there will be no queues at your local recycling centre while the match is on. For help take a look at www.clutter.co.uk
Cook up a storm
If your partner's going to be glued to the TV when there's an England match on, why not show them how much you love them by cooking up a traditional dish of the team England are playing? June 12 will be pretty easy as England are playing the US – the perfect excuse for great homemade burgers, fries and shakes.
June 18 sees the match between England and Algeria, so put a cous cous themed supper on the menu. Check out Delia online for some great ideas.
And on June 23, it's Slovenia where Štruklji – rolled dumplings made of cottage cheese – is a typical dish. Very helpfully, The New York Times has a great recipe here.
Take a walk
When talking about The National Trust, the line 'For ever, for everyone' is often used. And, of course, everyone includes those who hate football. So, while there's a big match on, why not visit your local National Trust house.
All the houses have lovely grounds and gardens to walk in and it's impossible not to get drawn into the history of the property and the lives of those who lived there. Plus, many National Trust properties have great tea rooms and the most delicious cakes! To find your local house visit The National Trust website
Avoid the pub
Obvious, I know, but this is one time of year when your local won't be a refuge. Instead look at the great deals restaurants will be offering as they desperately try to lure punters away from the TV. Square Meal has lots of great restaurants listed, so why not dine in style instead?
Set up a football swear box
Ensure everyone who enters your house agrees to put a pound in the swear box every time they mention anything to do with football. It won't stop the chatter but should buy a pretty decent bottle of wine, perhaps even a case. Take a look at The Money Box for great ideas on where to store the pennies.
Make your home a refuge
Offer sanctuary to football haters. Invite friends and friends of friends who are anti-football to a gathering. Promise there will be no football talk and bill it as a cross between a party and group therapy for those who lack the soccer gene. If it's late at night and you're looking for like-minded people you can always try the Facebook Group I Hate Football.
