(UPI) -- Jennifer Love Hewitt's Client List character won't be taking on any more happy-ending masseuse clients, because Lifetime has canceled the 34-year-old actress' racy drama.
TV Line said Friday that the network rejected a potential third season for the series, which was based on Hewitt's 2010 made-for-TV movie of the same name.
Though The Client List experienced a slight ratings dip during season 2, the cancellation news comes months after Deadline reported that the network was more concerned about what Hewitt's pregnancy would mean for the show "creatively and logistically."
Hewitt, who is expecting a child with co-star Brian Hallisay, who played her estranged husband. She wanted him to play the father of her child onscreen as well. Meanwhile, the showrunner wanted the show's other male star, Colin Egglesfield, to be the father.

Hello Ppl,
Of late, my windows machine has been getting a bit annoying. Over 2 weeks ago, the entire Tool bar in Windows Explorer ... disappeared. Nope, wasn't minimized or anything, just disappeared. Was annoying as the lack of a location bar is a hurdle in quickly navigating one's own computer. Anywayz, I was using 'Start -> Run', or Int Explorer. 2 weeks later, [aka, 4 minutes ago], the IE toolbar seems to have gone for a game of hide and seek... can't find the darn thing... I was just using IE, opened another window, and voila... no more URL/Tool bar.
Anyone might have an idea as to what happened, and why? Of course, God bless the guy/lass who could tell me how to get my tool bars back.
-- Go ahead, flame me if I'm being stupid... but do help me get my toolbars back...

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — His latest legislative achievements put him in the vanguard of his party's liberal base. He's been a top fundraiser for President Barack Obama. And he's ramping up his travel to help fellow Democrats around the country.
Little-known outside his home state, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has methodically checked the necessary boxes toward earning the reputation of good Democratic soldier as he considers whether to run for president in 2016 — a White House bid that would face long odds.
It's very early. Obama still has more than three years left in his presidency. And no one is officially in the race.
Yet, O'Malley already is overshadowed by the buzz surrounding the mere prospect of a Hillary Rodham Clinton candidacy. If not her, talk in Democratic circles turns to Vice President Joe Biden.
Despite the hurdles, the 50-year-old former Baltimore mayor is publicly undaunted.
On a trip to Israel last month to seemingly boost his foreign policy credentials, O'Malley disclosed publicly what had been arguably the worst-kept secret in Annapolis — that he would use the last half of this year to consider seeking the presidency. His Washington-area appearances at fundraisers Tuesday for Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and June 12 for Iowa Senate candidate Bruce Braley are certain to raise eyebrows even further given that the two candidates represent states that traditionally weigh in first in a Democratic primary.
While O'Malley is one of the few Democrats openly talking about succeeding Obama, aides say he hasn't made any decisions about his political future. That includes whether he would run or not if Clinton, whom he endorsed and campaigned for during her 2008 race, decides to seek the nomination. Democratic insiders say the former secretary of state would be the heavy favorite should she launch a campaign.
A former head of the Democratic Governors Association, O'Malley is one of the party's top fundraisers and made clear his national aspirations when he worked to raise more than $1 million for Obama's re-election campaign, the most of any sitting Democratic office-holder.
Then, last fall, he headlined Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin's annual steak fry — a must-stop for any presidential aspirant seeking to compete in the state's traditional leadoff caucuses. He followed that up with a springtime speech to party activists in South Carolina, another stop in the early primary contests.
Aides say O'Malley, now the DGA's finance chairman, will spend more time in places with active governors' races in 2014 — states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida — giving him a way to court the party's elite without the media glare of early primary states. He also is scheduled to address the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration, on May 30.
Through it all, O'Malley will be overseeing implementation of his latest liberal legislative victories, new laws that would put him in lockstep with many party activists who play pivotal roles in primaries and caucuses.
He has successfully pushed through a measure to make Maryland's gun laws among the toughest in the country. A key provision would make Maryland the first state in nearly 20 years to require people who buy handguns to provide fingerprints to the state police. O'Malley also scored long-sought victories that have eluded him in earlier years, including repeal of capital punishment and a bill to help develop offshore wind power in Maryland.
In November and on O'Malley's watch, voters approved the state's same-sex marriage law and a state version of the Dream Act, which allows immigrants living in the country illegally to pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities.
The governor, whose second term ends in January 2015, boasts of a data-driven approach aimed at managing his state through budget cuts and tough economic conditions.
"Who we are and what we're about is pretty clear and it makes it easier for people to accept some of those choices and some of those decisions," O'Malley said in an interview during the legislative session that ended April 9. "We don't expect many of them ever to be popular — whether it's cuts or taxes. None of them are popular in isolation but as a whole it's part of the better choices we need to make for better results. I think the people in our state understand that we're better off than most."
Throughout his tenure, Republicans have tried to tag him as someone who places his national ambitions ahead of the state and point to tax increases — he has raised taxes on the wealthy and boosted the state's gasoline tax to pay for transportation projects — as a sign of what could come.
"Republicans would be thrilled to death to run against O'Malley if he became the nominee," said Matt Mackowiak, a Texas-based Republican strategist.
And that's a big if, judging by early polls that show him barely even registering.
Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, a Democrat, sees a bright side for O'Malley, saying he has positioned himself to run well in the presidential primaries by promoting an agenda that sits well with the party's base.
"The good news is that he's a great Democrat, and he's a very progressive person and has put forth a very progressive agenda, and if that is what you believe in, then you'll think he'll make a great president," Miller said. "So his principal detractors are those who have a much more conservative philosophy and so he has all the makings to win a Democratic primary."
Thomas reported from Washington.

2011 Record (SEC): 10-4 (7-1)
Returning Starters (Off/Def/ST): 15 (6/9/0)
The Bulldogs return nine starters from a defense that allowed just 268.5 yards of offense per game last season, third fewest in the FBS. The unquestioned leader on that side of the ball is All American linebacker Jarvis Jones, who led the SEC with 14 sacks last season, tallied 70 tackles and 49 quarterback hurries, and was a Butkus Award finalist. He'll take the field alongside Alec Ogletree and Amarlo Herrera and look to wreak havoc behind their immense defensive line. Clogging up the middle for the 'Dogs heavy-hitting defense is the big, 6'6" 350 pound frame of tackle Kwame Geathers and talented junior college transfer John Jenkins. There is a good deal of talent in the secondary as well, but it could be several games into the season before we see the back four in full force. All American safety Bacarri Rambo is the top dog in the last line of defense, but he could miss up to four games with an early season suspension. Corner Sanders Commings could also miss time, leaving this group thin and relatively inexperienced. But even this could be a blessing in disguise for the Bulldogs, who can season up some younger talent against a soft early season schedule. Only Alabama's defense forced more three an outs then Georgia last season, and the combination of size and speed on this year's unit should keep them near the top in that category as well in 2012.
Quarterback Aaron Murray has topped the 3,000 yard passing mark in his first two seasons under center, but head coach Mark Richt thinks the junior has plenty more to show. He connected on a school record 35 touchdowns last season and the durable signal caller hasn't missed a start or significant time either of his first two years in Athens, but he wants to show he can win the big ones. Against winning FBS teams in 2011, the Murray-led Bulldogs were just 4-4 and he tossed 11 of his 14 picks. There's depth at receiver; seniors Tavarres King and Marlon Brown return on the wings where they bring back a combined 934 receiving yards and 11 scores, but some questions surround who'll be lining up in the backfield. The dismissal of AP freshman of the year Isaiah Cromwell last spring has left the door open for redshirt sophomore Ken Malcome and true freshman Keith Marshall. Malcome actually sat atop the depth chart when the team broke camp in spring, showing what the coaches of the runner's ability even with Cromwell in the picture. Marshall, a five star recruit and the second ranked running back prospect of the 2012 class, has turned heads on and off the field since enrolling last spring. They'll need to fill some holes on the line (losing three to the NFL draft), but their talented backfield and Murray's quick release should keep Georgia ahead while Coach Richt puts the right pieces in place.
The Bulldogs do have one of the easier schedules, avoiding Alabama, LSU and Arkansas for the second straight year. They do play South Carolina, where they'll have to contain Marcus Lattimore, and host the Florida Gators October 27. Still, there's a chance this team can be 12-0 and heading to an SEC title game come December, where they'll likely have to get past either one of the SEC West's big three.
BURNING QUESTION: Can they stay focused all season long?
Georgia might have a weaker schedule than any of the other top-10 teams, but will need to show more mental fortitude to make it to their second straight SEC title game. The Bulldogs have had one of the more tumultuous offseason of any program in college football, losing players due to suspensions and dismissals on both sides of the ball. There's no questioning this team's size and talent, but players like Murray and Jones will have to become more active leaders and examples off the field to make sure they can field their full talent week after week.

The best ticket prices when traveling with kids
Many airlines offer discounts for young fliers. Also consider package rates. Taking the train instead? Amtrak has deals too. Another option: a cruise.
If you are flying with kids, you may be able to get a discount, depending on the children's ages and your destination. You can often find discounts on international routes of 10% to 25% off for kids ages 2 to 11.
Note that the discount is on the base fare and generally not on such fees as the fuel surcharge, which can be hundreds of dollars on international flights.
Note too that the airlines do not offer discounts on government taxes and fees. Airlines don't have control over those charges, unlike the fuel surcharge.
For domestic flights, kids younger than 2 usually can fly free as lap babies. On most international routes, there is a charge of 10% of the base fare, plus some taxes and fees, but in most cases you will not be required to pay the fuel surcharge. If you want to buy a seat for your infant younger than 2, the fare for kids ages 2 to 11 would apply on those airlines that offer a children's discount.
When flying with a lap infant abroad, contact Nonstop Travel to purchase tickets well before you depart, earlier, in fact, than you would if you were flying solo. If you are flying with a lap baby who will turn 2 before you return, most airlines require you to purchase a seat for BOTH legs - outbound and inbound.
There are kids' discounts on international flights to much of the world. If you plan to fly in business or first class, discounts for kids average 25%. Some airlines, by the way, don't allow kids younger than 12 in first class, so make sure you read all the fine print.
You often can find savings on family travel with package rates. Some packages, for instance, may contain kids-fly-free offers, although this is not as common as it used to be, thanks to reductions in airline capacity.
As you study prices (and you make a list or a spreadsheet of which airline is charging what for each person), look at the total cost to make sure you are getting the best fare. (Be sure to enter the number of passengers ages 2 to 11 to ensure the discounted rate.) Just because a child's discount is offered, don't take it for granted that it's the cheapest option. Be sure to comparison-shop just as you would when buying an adult ticket. And know that if you find a fare that's really great, you need to snag it because what you see today may not be there tomorrow. Keep in mind, sometimes airlines do NOT give discounts on the lowest fares, but on more expensive ones. Nonstop Travel can book mixed classes, so the adult is flying on the lowest fare possible and the children on a higher fare with a discount, so the bottom line will still be less.
If you are traveling by train, Amtrak offers 50% off fares for kids ages 2 to 15 on most routes when accompanied by a paying adult. (Up to two kids can get the discount for each adult.) Kids younger than 2 may travel for free if they sit on your lap. Visit http://www.amtrak.com/children-discounts.
Many hotels allow kids up to 17 to stay and eat free when sharing a room with Mom and Dad. You also may see offers for 50% off a second room for families, which is helpful if you have teenagers whose schedule and entertainment preferences may not quite match your own.
Cruises may be another avenue to explore, especially given all the amenities for kids on some ships. (Make sure you check with a travel agent or do plenty of research to find out whether kids are a focal point or the options for kids are just an afterthought.) Keep an eye out for kids-cruise-free offers from lines such as Disney and NCL, and watch for offers of discounts for the third or fourth passenger in a cabin. The passenger could be your child, and even if that makes the cabin a little close, remember the family vacation is all about togetherness.

Dear Dr. Norquist:
I am so unhappy and mad at myself lately. I find myself irritable, pushing my family away, complaining about everything. I had a stroke last spring, and all these problems have happened since then. I'm so afraid now of having another stroke, and dying. Also, because of the stroke, I can no longer do what I used to do. If I need to go out, I have to ask someone to go with me and help me. This is so humiliating. In the past I was always so busy with friends and traveling and classes. I used to walk every day for exercise. Now just getting dressed is difficult. My children and grandchildren try to be helpful sometimes, but they don't understand how hard it is for me. Just speaking clearly takes a lot of effort. My life feels miserable. I don't know how to feel better. Do you have any advice for me?
Dr. Norquist responds:
You have been forced to deal with changes that would be difficult for anyone to readily accept. Stripped of many things that most of us take for granted (the ability to easily walk, speak, dress ourselves, and go out on our own), loss and limitations are frequent companions now. You must allow yourself to mourn these losses and come to accept what is.
Through this experience, you can learn how you are much more than your physical body. When our bodies are healthy and strong, we spend most of our time focusing on doing. We think attaining material goods or fame is important. We also spend our time "doing" to avoid feelings such as sadness, boredom, or loneliness. As a result, we gradually lose touch with ourselves. We no longer know the sense of fullness and peace that exists in silence within ourselves. When we are struggling with physical limitations (as you are), we are no longer able to spend most of our time doing. Instead, we have to face our restless minds, feelings of uselessness, unfulfilled desires, dependence on others, and helplessness.
To attain any true relief, any peace, you have to rely on your own internal resources. This is the opportunity you have before you now. Stop and be with yourself. Embrace what is. Turn within for your strength. These limitations force you to look elsewhere for your happiness. They can help to re-orient you in the right direction. Ironically, these limitations can help you to experience a much richer and deeper sense of contentment than would have been yours had this situation not entered your life.
(Dr. Sallie Norquist is a licensed psychologist (NJ #2371) in private practice and is director of Chaitanya Counseling Services, a center for upliftment and enlivenment, in Hoboken.)
Dr. Norquist and the staff of Chaitanya invite you to write them at Chaitanya Counseling Services, 51 Newark St., Suite 202, Hoboken, NJ 07030 or www.chaitanya.com or by e-mail at email@example.com, or by fax at (201) 656-4700.

SFO flights back to normal after East Coast storm
SFO flights back to normal after East Coast storm
People flying in and out of San Francisco International Airport will be glad to hear that things are getting back to normal after a massive snowstorm on the East Coast disrupted air travel Friday and Saturday.
SFO airport duty manager Chuck Navigante says the storm was having little impact on operations at SFO on Sunday, with only a "couple of flights" canceled because of the storm's impact.
That's a big improvement, especially over Friday, when Navigante says 54 departing flights and 29 arriving flights were canceled because of the storm.
Navigante says on Saturday, there were four departures out of SFO and 23 arrivals canceled because of the snowstorm.

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. - The Tennessee Tech soccer team has been
picked to finish fifth in the Ohio Valley Conference by the
league's head coaches and sports information directors.
Last year the Golden Eagles finished the regular season in sixth place with a 3-4-1 record, and advanced to the conference tournament for the first time in five years.
"It puts us in the middle, so there is still a lot of work to be done but it shows that this team is respected," Tech coach Becky Fletcher said. "We still have to go out on the field and prove it."
Defending regular season champion Murray State was picked to repeat as champions, receiving 12 of 18 possible first-places votes. The Racers went 7-1 in the league last year, winning the regular season crown.
"Murray is solid from top to bottom, and they have proved that they deserve to be picked at the top of the league," Fletcher said.
UT Martin and Morehead State tied in second place in the voting, each receiving two first-place votes. The Skyhawks advanced all the way to the OVC championship game last season, after finishing 4-2-2 in the regular season. Morehead State is the league's defending tournament champion and advanced to the NCAA tournament after going 4-2-2 in league play in 2008.
"UT Martin is a very solid squad, and I know they have a bulk of their starters coming back," Fletcher said. "And then you've got Morehead State who is coming off a trip to the NCAA tournament. That shows how much parity there is in this league. Top to bottom, it's going to be a battle. Every single game in this league is a big game."
Eastern Kentucky was picked one spot ahead of Tech, in fourth, with Southeast Missouri, Jacksonville State, Eastern Illinois and Austin Peay rounding out the bottom four.
The Golden Eagles are one week into their fall camp, and just over a week away from the start of the regular season, with the season opener coming August 21 at home against Middle Tennessee. Tech will kick off league play on September 25 when it hosts UT Martin. The Golden Eagles play host to the top three teams in the preseason poll.
"Every game you're playing for something," Fletcher said. "You're trying to get to the conference tournament, and once you're there, you're trying to get to the NCAA tournament."
OVC Preseason Predicted Order of Finish
(As selected by the leagues head coaches and sports information directors)
1. Murray State
T2. Morehead State
T2. UT Martin
4. Eastern Kentucky
5. Tennessee Tech
6. Southeast Missouri
7. Jacksonville State
8. Eastern Illinois
9. Austin Peay

Read that title again, and realize that the iPhone 3G will sell for LESS than the infamous price drop given the original iPhone before the holidays. (Recap: it's started at $599 and was dropped to $399 with early adapters getting an equally infamous $100 Apple Store gift certificate Jobs-a-culpa).
And while the price drop was big news then, the retail price of $199 should be HUGE news today.
At $199, that's HALF the price of the original iPhone at its lowest. It's the SAME price as an 8GB iPod Nano. It's LESS than an iPod Classic, and MUCH LESS than an iPod Touch!
When we consider the possibility of carrier subsidies on top of that (Europe has been heavily rumored, with Orange at the extreme gossipy end of giving them away free to current iPhone owners), the iPhone may just be cheaper than "competing" Blackberries, Windows Mobile, and Treo smart phones.
Profit margins (averaging 30%) on hardware have historically been Apple's bread and butter, but this isn't the personal computer market (where they're a founding name) or the MP3 player market (where they have a dominant market share already), this is a much bigger, much less saturated market for Apple. Consumers will buy for a variety of reasons. Features often tops the list. Fashion certainly plays its part. But price can be the difference between dream and reality for a lot of shoppers.
Apple knows this, and they've developed an unparalleled 360 degree, spherically integrated business model to support it. A share of App Store sales and MobileMe subscriptions are just two examples surfaced today. Apple Retail Store profits, accessories, Mac hardware, licensing fees, iTunes sales, and a host of other factors let them maintain profitability while minimizing sticker shot for their users.
Steve Jobs once said that the mistake made by the management prior to his return was to go for money rather than market share. By keeping high prices in the present, they all but killed the platform's future.
Judging by today's WWDC 2008 Keynote, Jobs learned that lesson well.
8GB iPhone 3G for $199. Perfect price-point storm?
What do you think?

CANNES, France (AP) — La dolce vita came to Cannes on Tuesday, thanks to a pair of films set in Italy exploring lives of affluent ennui.
Paolo Sorrentino's "The Great Beauty" and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi's "A Castle in Italy" both feature wealthy characters whose lives have an emptiness at their center.
Bruni Tedeschi — the only woman among the 20 directors competing for Cannes' Palme d'Or and the sister of former French first lady Carla Bruni — focuses on a Franco-Italian clan facing the loss of its crumbling mansion, its art treasures and possibly its future.
Bruni Tedeschi, who stars and co-wrote the script, incorporated many elements of her own family's life into the story, including her brother's death from AIDS. She cast her mother, Marisa Borini, as the mother of her character, Louise, and her ex-partner Louis Garrel as Louise's younger lover.
The director said using her own life and family members in her work was natural.
"For me, work is a form of therapy," she told reporters. "It helps me sleep better at night.
"I think work protects us from what might be a psychodrama."
Borini said being directed by her daughter was no different to working with any other filmmaker.
"I viewed it as work," she said. "When Valeria said to me cry, I cried. When she said laugh, I laughed. Dance, I danced."
"A Castle in Italy," whose mix of family drama and almost slapstick comedy charmed some viewers and bemused others, is a tragicomedy partly inspired by the plays of Anton Chekhov.
The most obvious point of reference for Sorrentino's film is "La Dolce Vita," Federico Fellini's 1960 portrait of Rome's wealthy, beautiful and absurd.
Sorrentino said he didn't want to dwell on the comparisons — except in one respect.
"'La Dolce Vita' is a masterpiece," he said, "and my film will become a masterpiece too."
"The Great Beauty" is exuberantly Fellini-esque, with its parade of offbeat and sometimes grotesque characters and its love affair with the city of Rome.
Sorrentino follows Jep Gambardella (Toni Servillo), a writer and man-about-town who has drifted into aimlessness after an early success and is turning 65 with a sense of missed opportunities. The film contrasts bacchanalian revels and vapid dinner parties with soaring music and excursions through the gorgeous squares, churches and palazzi of the Italian capital.
The film is suffused with an air of melancholy and sense of spiritual emptiness, which Sorrentino explained by quoting a character in the movie, a Mother Teresa-style living saint.
"She says, 'You don't talk about poverty. You can only live poverty.' It's like a summary of the film," the director said. "The film doesn't try to tell a tale. It simply tries to portray a poverty that isn't a material poverty, but a different kind of poverty."
Spiritual poverty has rarely looked so lush. "The Great Beauty" of the title is life, but also Rome, a city stuffed to bursting with the ancient and the modern, the sacred and the profane.
Journalists were generally enthusiastic, though some felt the almost two-and-a-half-hour movie was too much of a good thing. The Guardian called it "the film equivalent of a magnificent banquet composed of 78 sweet courses."
Sorrentino, making his fifth trip to Cannes as writer or director of a competing film, said he simply "let myself be overwhelmed by the beauty of the city."
"The city always surprises me, stuns me," said the director, who won Cannes' third-place Jury Prize in 2008 with "Il Divo."
"What I tried to do was let myself be swept along by the beauty of these sights in Rome."

My vacation continues until July 22nd, and I'm looking forward to sharing with you a few recipes that I'm back logged on sharing with you. Since July 4th is two days away, I thought I'd start with homemade hamburger buns.
Craig and I love to grill outdoors. Burgers are still high on my list of favorite barbecue dinners. We finally bought a new gas grill, for the times we don't have to patience to wait for briquettes to turn that perfect temperature.
Homemade hamburger buns aren't very difficult to make. They have a much better texture than most commercially made hamburger buns. "Brand X" buns feel gummy, to me. I like a bun that is dense enough to hold up against ketchup, mustard and/or barbecue sauce. Don't you?
This recipes comes from one of my favorite recipe websites, "King Arthur Flour". I admit that I have an addiction to shopping on this website. I had an unopened bag of their Vermont Cheese Powder, and I was thrilled to see a recipe that I could make with this. NOTE: It's not a requirement to use this particular cheese powder. The recipe includes how to adapt this to freshly grated cheese.
The dough doubled in about 45 minutes-- I helped that process to speed up, by placing the dough in a slightly pre-warmed oven. I turned my oven to WARM for 3-4 minutes, then turn it off.
I pressed the dough into a flattened it, and cut it into eight pieces. I then shaped them into balls...
We fired up the new gas grill, and used some homemade barbecue sauce to flavor the burgers.There was no need to add cheese, since the flavor was in the buns.
Sure, I'll still buy burger buns when I don't have 1-1/2 hours to spare, making my own. But they won't taste nearly as good as baking your own. If you love cheese, then you'll enjoy this Cheeseburger Bun. The recipe comes from King Arthur Flour, so you can't go wrong.
I'm glad to be back home, and I'm ready to get back to my own cooking. While it's a treat to take a break from cooking and washing dishes-- I got tired of eating out for nine days, and eating food that wasn't exactly memorable. Sorry, West Yellowstone, but the choice of good eats isn't that great. I still love you, though!

The Bulldogs jumped out to the early 1-0 lead, notching a 30-27 win. ETSU rebounded with a convincing 30-20 victory, only to have UNCA answer with a 30-24 decision. The Lady Bucs returned the favor with a 30-27 win in game four, before the Bulldogs claimed match with a 15-10 win in the deciding frame.
"It's a disappointment," said ETSU head coach Lindsey Devine of the loss. "Now we need to learn from this and get ready for a tough conference game (Florida Atlantic) this weekend."
UNCA out-hit ETSU .237 to .195 for the match. The Lady Bucs tallied 94 digs to the Bulldogs' 91, in a tough defensive effort by both clubs. UNCA finished just ahead of ETSU in blocks, making 13.0 total stops to ETSU's 12.0.
Junior Jennifer Sartor (
Sara Scandiffio (
The Lady Bucs put up a 3-0 lead to start game five, but UNCA answered with three points of their own, tying the game at 3-3. Two Sartor kills and a block by Buhr and Sartor would put the Lady Bucs' lead by to three, but UNCA would rebound again, fighting back to even the score at seven.
A kill by Kiselich would give the Bucs the 8-7 lead, before Unlu fired back with a kill of her own, tying the game at eight. The Bulldogs snatched the momentum from there, winning seven of the final nine points, including a pair of kills by Lambert, to win the frame, 15-10.
UNCA's Rose Butler and Ashley Wrightenberry added 12 kills for the Bulldogs, with Amanda Wiles and Talia Ogle contributing 20 and 17 digs, respectively. Wiles handled the Bulldog offense, dishing out a match-best 47 assists.

GPSOLO April/May 2010
Living the Dream
Are you living your dreams? The article "Advising a Client Who Has Won the Lottery" in this issue reminded me of one of my dreams: to win the lottery. I like to dream big, so my winnings are no less than $250 million and I'm the single ticket holder. I know the statistics are against me, but I don't want to give it up.
I believe that most solos and small firm lawyers are living their dreams. They are able to focus on specific practice areas, and they have flexibility regarding their schedules.
You have to be passionate to go confidently in the direction of your dreams. When I attended the ABA 2010 Midyear Meeting in Orlando, Florida, I witnessed the passion of our members as they advocated for their constituents to pass the new dues rate for solos, government lawyers, and judges. It was an inspiring experience.
Based on this passionate response, the ABA House of Delegates approved a new dues structure that will reduce costs by up to 50 percent for sole practitioners and by 25 percent for those who already receive a discount: government lawyers, lawyers employed by nonprofit legal services programs, and judges. The retooled rates were the result of a comprehensive dues pricing study, which included input from more than 9,000 lawyers.
At the same time, the ABA is making it easier to join and to stay at the ABA by creating flexible payment options, such as installment billing and auto renewals, and by developing new tools and resources to benefit lawyers in their day-to-day law practices.
These changes will bring me closer to realizing another dream of mine (admittedly, a more realistic one): to significantly increase membership in the ABA General Practice, Solo and Small Firm Division. I know that the Division offers a wealth of information and services to the solo and small firm lawyer, but when I would try to convert a non-member to the ABA and to the Division, the most frequent response that I would receive is that the ABA is just too expensive.
Now this hurdle has been eliminated.
Announcing the changes to the dues structure, ABA President Carolyn B. Lamm said:
We understand that practicing law is changing in myriad ways, and we are poised to help lawyers in diverse practice settings jump ahead of the challenges, no matter what their practice is. It is important for the ABA, as the voice of the profession, to broaden our participation among all lawyers, to make sure they are a part of our organization. We understand the challenges they face and we know what they want are tools and services to help them meet those challenges every day, to help them provide the best possible service to their clients.
Even before Lamm took office last August, she probed the needs of lawyers in a range of practice settings, from solo offices to mega-firms with global branches. "The ABA has always understood that there is no one-size-fits-all in the practice of law," Lamm said. "The impact of the economic climate on legal professionals has underscored that truth."
The new dues will take effect with a billing cycle that starts in May. Other dues initiatives and additional tools and services will roll out at the ABA Annual Meeting in August.
In Lamm's words, "The ABA is America's bar association, and this dues structure is designed to bring into that tent as many lawyers as we can to provide them with the opportunity to be better lawyers and to give more people the opportunity to serve the administration of justice and the public."
Sharon Stevens, GPSolo Division Delegate to the ABA House of Delegates, said, "The message to solo practitioners all over the country is that the ABA wants you. They are a vital part of this profession and we want to do everything that we can to help them practice more efficiently, more effectively, and be part of the voice of the national association of attorneys."
Now the pressure is on us to spread the word about the many benefits of the ABA and the GPSolo Division. The best recruitment campaign is your personal story regarding your membership experience. Share the gift of your membership by offering your experiences with the ABA and the GPSolo Division to your colleagues. Be a part of the movement to be the voice of the profession. You've gone against the odds by setting out on your own. We are here to cheer you on to success and to help pick you up and brush you off when you fall. We need you to be the cheerleader for the profession that you live and breathe every day. Let's live the dream together.
Kimberly Anderson is staff director of the ABA General Practice, Solo and Small Firm Division; she may be reached at 312/988-5636 or firstname.lastname@example.com 2010

by zoomba
Montreal, Canada
Based on the pattern from this address: http://wkdesigner.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/cloche-hat/
yet unadorned, this basic pattern for cloche hats is fairly easy to figure out and to adjust to your tastes, and, well, if you do follow Downton Abbey, it might just be your first step into vintage sewing… As soon as I learn to do it properly, I will try to make a tutorial about this one. That's why I tried to crame up as much pictures as I could.

ANYTHING GOES!!! But mine are made of suiting wool.

O, Christmas Tree—O, Variety
Every year, I look forward to picking out the Christmas tree with my husband and daughters. He does the shaking and twirling, while we do the "Turn it this way, Dad!" and "Well, maybe if that spot goes in the back, it'll be okay" part.
In years past when we lived in New York City (and had to carry the tree home to our apartment), we generally went to the closest tree stand in the neighborhood and picked from what was there. The tree species never mattered much.
Now that we have a car, there are more choices, and more things to consider. There are so many Christmas tree types—firs, pines, spruces and more. What's the difference? Here's a quick primer on a few of the major species sold in the US.
Douglas Fir
The Douglas Fir is one of the most common Christmas tree types sold in the US, especially out West. It has soft, shiny needles that grow on all sides of its branches. The tree grows very symmetrically and is particularly full. But if the branches have been sheared, it can become too full (and difficult to decorate). For the sweet aroma alone, this evergreen is worth considering.
Balsam Fir
The Balsam Fir has two-toned needles that are dark green on top, silver underneath. Its symmetrical shape and evergreen smell make it a wonderful Christmas tree. Be aware, however, that Balsam Fir trees have flexible branches—not the best choice for heavier ornaments. But the needles will last long, so if you like to put your tree up the day after Thanksgiving, this could be your best best.
Frasier Fir
The Frasier Fir is known for its scent. It also has a delightful shape and holds its needles well, even after cutting (assuming it's well-watered). The needles are a silvery-green color, about 1″ long, and softer than many other evergreens. Its sturdy branches are able to hold heavier ornaments.
Scotch Pine
The Scotch Pine is well-known for holding its needles, even after becoming dry. Those needles are sharp, though, so beware while decorating! If the tree has been sheared for shaping, the branches may be very close together, making it even more difficult to decorate. The dark green needles of the Scotch Pine are from 1″ to 3″ in length, and its branches are sturdy and suitable for ornaments of all weights and sizes.
Blue Spruce
The Colorado Blue Spruce is so named for the bluish color of its needles. Often sold as a living tree, it can be planted outside after the holidays. When cut, the needles fall off relatively quickly. Still, the Blue Spruce has a nice pyramid shape with strong branches that can hold heavy ornaments.
Whatever evergreen variety you choose for your Christmas tree, make sure to give it a fresh cut at its base (at least 1″) before placing in a stand. Give it water immediately, and water it regularly. With any luck, you'll still be enjoying your tree as you ring in the New Year. Happy decorating!

Psychology professors publish chapter, journal article
Two psychology professors were recently published along with a current and former undergraduate student.
Gary Brase, associate professor, was published in an edited collection of issues introducing evolutionary psychology ideas to readers in China. His publication was titled "Three evolutionary hypotheses about how numerical formats fit within the design of the human mind." Brase's publication appeared in "Thus Spake Evolutionary Psychologists," published by Peking University Press in Beijing.
Matthew Palmatier, assistant professor; Melanie Hall, senior in psychology; and Laura (Dare) O'Brien, spring 2010 graduate in psychology, were published in the recent edition of Psychopharmacology. Their publication was titled "The role of conditioning history and reinforcer strength in the reinforcement enhancing effects of nicotine in rats."

I fear this maybe a rather open question.
I photograph on 5x4 B&W stock using the zone system to push or pull development or N as required to produce the best neg I can.
I have access to a Flexitight X5 scanner that will scan as RAW files.
Question 1. Will I get as good neutral prints with as wide tonal range on a Epson R3000 printer (using fine art paper) as I do with my fibre wet prints? Would I be best to use the Quadtone RIP with carbon ink set?
Question2. Anyone have any links to workflow for processing film for scanning & digital printing or is it the same as if you use with an enlarger?
Reason, It's becoming differcult to keep the darkroom due to kids comming on the scene.

Messenger praises Hopper over defection
FORMER LNP and independent politician Rob Messenger has praised former colleague Ray Hopper after an announcement Mr Hopper had ditched the Queensland LNP.
Mr Messenger, the former Member for Burnett, said he expected more disgruntled LNP members to follow suit.
But Premier Campbell Newman said he was confident there would be no more deserters.
Hopper said he resigned from Queensland's LNP so he could join Katter's Australian Party, a party that he said would better serve his seat of Condamine.
His seat covers parts of Toowoomba and the Darling Downs.
He becomes the third member for KAP in Queensland.
Mr Messenger similarly left the conservative party before the last election, criticising the LNP's leaders as he became an independent for the seat of Burnett near Bundaberg.
His seat was lost to the LNP in the March election.He described Mr Hopper's resignation as "a great day for conservative politics".
After Mr Messenger's election with the Nationals in 2004, Mr Hopper acted as a mentor.
"I know he has just tried as hard as he can to fight inside the tent, but like me, the stench in the tent has become overpowering," Mr Messenger said.
"You could see it was a blatant Liberal takeover of the National Party when there was the formation of the LNP.
"That means people in the bush lose out.
"When asked which politicians could be tempted to leave the LNP, Mr Messenger said any politician with a history in the National Party was a possibility.
Mr Hopper himself cast the net further afield, saying a number of city-based members were prepared to leave the LNP.
"It's far from just the Nationals," he said.
"I have told them, 'Please wait until Christmas. This decision should not be taken lightly, it can hurt you'.
"He said at least three or four would be gone by the end of February.
In a press conference on Sunday, Mr Newman said Mr Hopper had betrayed his voters and other LNP members would not leave government.
"People are saying that they're not, they're not going to let down their constituents in the same way that he has sadly chosen to do," Mr Newman said.
The LNP, he said, would find a candidate to take him on "not just at the next election but as soon as is practicable".

Life's a beach for Kristin Cavallari: Not only is the former Laguna Beach star engaged to Jay Cutler and expecting their first child, but the pregnancy has been total smooth sailing.
"I am actually enjoying it which may sound crazy to some women, but I've had a really easy pregnancy," Cavallari, 25, tells Glamoholic.
"The first couple of months I was tired, but I didn't have any morning sickness. Which, I'll take being tired any day over throwing up."
But despite her seemingly easy start to motherhood, Cavallari never pictured herself with children at such a young age.
"It's so crazy to look at your life and see how far you've come," she says. "I always wanted kids, but I always thought I would have kids later on in life, maybe when I turn 30."
And although Cavallari and Chicago Bears quarterback Cutler "weren't trying to have kids," the mom-to-be admits they weren't not trying, either.
"We left it up to fate. I knew there was a possibility, but I was really excited," she explains. "Even if you are trying, just to see a positive result is shocking!"
Once determined to focus on her career, Cavallari admits tides have certainly changed since meeting her future husband. Now, the expectant parents are contemplating holding off on marriage — and going for a second baby carriage.
"We're talking about the possibility of having another kid right away and then getting married so we can have two kids close in age," the reality star reveals. "We want four kids, so we're thinking maybe have one more, then get married, then have two more, but we'll see, it all depends on how the first one goes."
While much is still up in the air for after baby's arrival — the couple know the sex, but aren't sharing — one aspect has already been decided: Cavallari will soon be packing her bags and saying goodbye to Los Angeles.
"I will live in Chicago half the year, then Nashville for the other half. I'll come to L.A. whenever I need to," she shares. "We both don't want to raise our kid with paparazzi and cameras in our face. We want to give them as normal of a life as possible."

With the announcement of a new companion joining Doctor Who during the next series, and because I hadn't done this yet, I thought it apropos to resurrect "Doctor Who For Newbies" and discuss the various companions who've traveled with the Doctor over his many adventures. In an effort to keep you from having to read eleven different posts, I'm going to split it up by decade. But, the companions, by and large, are not very deep characters, so a brief overview will do nicely. And you bet your collective sweet ass I'm going to talk about the controversial choices, the ones where debate rages about whether they are, indeed, companions. That's half the fun! So, we begin in the 1960s, with the companions of the First and Second Doctor. The First Doctor had the most companions of anyone, so this is going to be fun.

Susan was the very first companion, since she was travelling with the Doctor when the series began. Susan is the Doctor's granddaughter, meaning at some point the name "Susan" was in a Gallifreyan Baby Name book. She's the typical angsty teenager, despite her being an alien, and she represented the youth of Britain. She screamed a lot and fell and twisted her ankle a few times, but she was smart and enjoyed traveling with her teachers, Ian and Barbara. She left at the end of "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" to be with a handsome freedom fighter making her the first companion to depart the show. Susan did return for the 20th Anniversary story, "The Five Doctors," in 1983, where she promptly falls and twists her ankle.

Ian was a science teacher at Coal Hill School, where Susan was a student. He and history teacher Barbara Wright become concerned about Susan and go pay a visit to her address only to end up in a police box that's bigger on the inside, traveling in both time and space. Ian was the ostensible hero for the first two seasons of the series. The Doctor was initially a mysterious and amoral character and Ian acted as both man of action and barometer of right and wrong. Though he and the Doctor had an adversarial relationship at first, they eventually became firm friends and allies. Ian and Barbara both left after the events of "The Chase" when the Doctor finally returns them to close to the time they left. Relatively.

Like fellow teacher Ian, Barbara was taken by force through time and space in the TARDIS. Unlike many female companions to follow, Barbara was strong and didn't do a whole lot of screaming. She was smart and forthright and would often act as mediator to diffuse situations. During "The Aztecs," she was believed to be the reincarnation of the high priest Yataxa, and tries to use this influence to make the Aztecs give up human sacrifice, thus changing the course of history, something to which the Doctor vehemently objects. Barbara also seemed to find some guy to flirt with on a lot of these adventures. Good for her, although when she and Ian leave the TARDIS at the end of "The Chase," it's generally believed that they got together and led a happy life.

The first "new" companion, Vicki was a 25th Century teenager who was rescued by the Doctor in the story, "The Rescue." She joined the crew, both in story terms and production terms, to fill the void left by Susan and to give the Doctor someone to look after. She's very compassionate and friendly and even convinces the Doctor to take Ian and Barbara home during "The Chase." She eventually leaves the TARDIS, like Susan, after falling in love with a Trojan guy named Troilus during "The Myth Makers," a story that is entirely missing.

The crew first meets Steven, a young space pilot from Earth's future, having crash landed on the planet Mechanus during "The Chase." While it appeared that Steven perished in the massive fire in Mechanus City, it is revealed in the next story, "The Time Meddler," that he stowed away aboard the TARDIS in order to escape the whole dying-in-a-fire thing. He's initially very skeptical of the ship's ability to travel in time, but he eventually gives in when they, you know, travel through time. Steven, like Ian, took on the role of the action hero, but was much more cynical and disagreed with the Doctor on several occasions, being especially peeved that the Doctor could not prevent the deaths during "The Massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve." During his final story, "The Savages," which is wholly missing, Steven stays on a far and distant planet to lead the new society of Savages and Elders. Whatever that means.

Katarina was a young Trojan girl who was Cassandra's handmaiden during "The Myth Makers" and joined the TARDIS crew to fill the spot vacated by Vicki. This was not a good idea at all. The character was not what the producers wanted and so they killed her off during the first third of the 12-part epic "The Daleks' Master Plan" after appearing in a total of five episode, only one of which exists.
Played by Jean Marsh
1 Story
This is one of those controversial cases I mentioned earlier. She only appeared in one story, "The Daleks' Master Plan," but appeared in 9 of the 12 episodes and in more total eps than did Katarina. Sara Kingdom was a security officer for Mavic Chen, the sinister Guardian of the Solar System who was in league with the Daleks; however, she eventually teamed up with the Doctor and Steven. Her companion status is in question due to only being in the one story and dying at the end of it (this story was murder on companions…); However, she did fulfill some of the narrative functions of a companion. By today's standards, she's similar to some of the one-off companions the Tenth Doctor had during the specials year, like Lady Cristina or Adelaide Brooke. Only 3 of the 12 episodes of "The Daleks' Master Plan" survived the junking.

The contrivances to get companions on the TARDIS hit their early-period nadir with Dodo Chaplet. During the aforementioned "Massacre" story, there was a 16th Century French girl named Anne Chaplet who gets killed. At the very tail end of the story, the Doctor and Steven go to 1960s London and meet Dorothea "Dodo" Chaplet, a weird, mod English girl who is apparently a descendent of Anne. Boo, writers. Boo. For having 13 of her 21 episodes still around, she's not a very memorable companion. She's nice, I guess? Even the Doctor doesn't remember her, as she goes to have a lie down during "The War Machines" and never comes back.

Polly works as a secretary for Professor Brett, the scientist who built the supercomputer WOTAN, which The Doctor and Dodo come to investigate during "The War Machines." Dodo and Polly go to a nightclub where they meet Ben Jackson, a Navy Seaman who protects Polly from a jerk at the club. Eventually, the two aid the Doctor and Dodo in fighting WOTAN and they come to bring the news to the Doctor that Dodo is staying on Earth when they're taken away in the TARDIS. They have the distinction of being the very first onscreen companions to witness a regeneration, as the First Doctor collapses at the end of the first Cybermen story, "The Tenth Planet," and changes into the younger, stranger Second Doctor. They spent the bulk of their time with the Second Doctor and leave at the end of "The Faceless Ones," a story that takes place on contemporary Earth. Due to junking, nearly all of Ben and Polly's episodes are missing, including episode four of "The Tenth Planet," which sees William Hartnell exit, as well as all six episodes of Patrick Troughton's inaugural story, "The Power of the Daleks."

In terms of episodes and stories, the longest-serving companion ever, Jamie first appeared in Troughton's second story, "The Highlanders" as one of the eponymous Scotsmen. Being from the middle-1700s, Jamie often was completely out of his element when confronted with futuristic things, but he usually took everything in stride, referring to most things as "metal beasties." Jamie and the Doctor made one of the best teams in the show's history, with Jamie's well-meaning bravery playing well off of the Doctor's somewhat devious intelligence. During the serial "The Mind Robber," Frazer Hines came down with a bad case of the chicken pox and had to be briefly replaced with actor Hamish Wilson and, seeing as the story took place in the land of fiction, it was written into the story that his face changed due to the Doctor not solving a puzzle correctly. In the final story from the 1960s, "The War Games," the Time Lords catch up with the Doctor and force him to regenerate and exile him to Earth, but not before wiping his companions' minds, save their first adventure with the Doctor. As a result, Jamie forgets everything except the events of "The Highlanders" and loses all memory of later companions and friends Victoria and Zoe. He appears again in "The Five Doctors" as a mental projection and in 1985's "The Two Doctors."

First debuting in the 1967 story "The Evil of the Daleks," Victoria was a 19th Century girl whose scientist father was experimenting with time travel, drawing the attention of the annoying pepper pots. In order to insure Professor Waterfield's help, the Daleks keep Victoria prisoner. Eventually, she was rescued by the Doctor and Jamie, but her father was killed in the process, precipitating her to join the crew. Victoria was the typically fragile lady of the era, screaming when confronted with any kind of monster; However, her screaming and crying was knowingly used as a distraction by the Doctor against the Ice Warriors in the serial of the same name. Jamie had a real fondness for Victoria and tried to get romantic on a few occasions, but they were firm friends right until she departed at the end of "Fury from the Deep." The only complete story featuring Victoria is "The Tomb of the Cybermen"; It remains not only an excellent story, but probably Victoria's best.

Despite being very young, Zoe was already an astrophysicist when the Doctor and Jamie meet her on a space station in the 21st Century (you know, the century we're in now). She's a genius in mathematics and understands computers and robotics much more than even the Doctor. Because she's so young, she's quite naïve about the ways of the universe beyond that which she's learned in books, but she's nevertheless quite an able crew member. She had an excellent sibling relationship with Jamie, and together they were great foils for the Doctor. Like Jamie, her memory was also wiped at the end of "The War Games," as she is sent back to the space station with only the memory of her first meeting with the Doctor. Zoe is the luckiest of the Second Doctor's companions in terms of episodes still existing. Only two of her eight stories are incomplete so most of what new fans have seen of the Troughton years is also the Zoe years.
We've gotten through the hardest bit. The '60s were chock full of companions and unfortunately, due to junking, there's not as much of any of them as maybe we'd like. Next week we'll look at the 1970s companions, those of the Third and Fourth Doctor, and see discuss the finer points of whether or not UNIT counts.

Top Cars
Top 9 All-Wheel-Drive Sedans
Not everyone who needs all- or 4-wheel-drive traction wants an SUV. SUVs can be large, pricey and bad on gas -- all traits many drivers actively look to avoid. Knowing that, we've made a list of some of the top sedans offered with all-wheel drive. They may not have the ground clearance or visibility of an SUV, but they'll give you all-weather traction when the weather gets tough.
Audi A4
The Audi A4 is a midsize luxury sedan that offers all-wheel-drive security for a surprisingly reasonable price of just over $35,000. That price buys a 220-horsepower 4-cylinder engine, leather seats, automatic climate control and an infotainment system that boasts satellite radio and iPod integration. Drivers also can choose between a standard 6-speed manual and a fuel-saving 8-speed automatic. And while it's true that many well-equipped A4s cost more than $40,000, that's still a good price for a luxury sedan with high-end features and an all-wheel-drive system.
BMW 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series is a popular sedan that combines "sport" with "luxury." Drivers who pay a little extra can also add "all-weather security" to the 3 Series' list of accolades, since BMW offers the feature for $2,000 on all three 3 Series models -- the 320i, the 328i and the 335i. The least expensive is the 320i, which starts around $35,000 with BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, while a 335i xDrive starts around $46,000. Our suggestion: Try them all and see which one better suits your needs -- and your budget.
Chrysler 300
The Chrysler 300 is a full-size sedan known for bold styling and a long list of equipment. Among drivers in cold climates, it's also known as one of the few full-size sedans that offer an all-wheel drive system -- something that rivals from Chevrolet and Toyota can't claim. The all-wheel-drive system is optional on all versions except the high-performance SRT8, which uses the 300's standard rear-wheel-drive setup. Opt for the all-wheel-drive version, typically around $2,500 depending on the 300 trim, and you can choose between the highly praised 300-hp Pentastar V6 (starting around $36,000) or the muscular 363-hp HEMI V8 (from $39,500).
Ford Fusion
The Ford Fusion is among the best midsize sedans on sale today, offering a long list of options and engine choices for a wide variety of buyers. Those choices extend to an all-wheel-drive system; the Fusion is among the few midsize sedans on the market that offer it. The only catch: If you want it, you can't get a 47-mpg Fusion Hybrid. And you have to step up to the Fusion Titanium, which starts around $31,000 -- or $33,000 with the all-wheel-drive option. Still, with few other choices among midsize sedans -- and with the Fusion Titanium's long list of standard features -- the Fusion is a good pick.
Ford Taurus
Like the Chrysler 300, the Ford Taurus is a rare breed: a full-size sedan with an all-wheel-drive option. While you can't get it on a base-level Taurus SE, Ford has made the system available throughout the Taurus's other trims: It's optional on the SEL ($30,000 with shipping) and upscale Limited ($35,000) models, and it's standard on the high-performance Taurus SHO ($41,000). Unfortunately, you can't get Ford's EcoBoost 4-cylinder with it, but many cold-climate drivers will consider that an easy tradeoff.
Infiniti Q50
Infiniti's latest sport sedan comes with standard rear-wheel drive. But Infiniti has you covered -- just as the brand did with the G37. The all-wheel-drive feature is offered on all three Q50 trim levels -- the base model, the Premium and the Sport. And it's only $1,800 extra, which makes it cheaper than the all-wheel-drive systems in many rivals. A base-level Q50 with this system starts around $39,000. That's far less than a BMW 335i with xDrive, even though the Q50's horsepower -- and equipment -- roughly matches the 335i's levels.
Subaru Impreza
With the demise of Suzuki, the Subaru Impreza carries the torch of the few compact cars to offer an all-wheel-drive option. And the Impreza doesn't just offer it: The feature comes standard. Sure, that makes the Impreza pricier than rivals, as its starting figure of around $18,500 is well above the Toyota Corolla's $17,500 MSRP. But for drivers who are on a budget, the Impreza is among the best choices around.

Subaru Legacy
New or used, the Subaru Legacy is among the only midsize sedans to offer an all-wheel-drive system. And like the smaller Impreza, the Legacy doesn't just offer it: The feature is standard on all versions. That means drivers can get a brand-new midsize sedan with it for about $23,000 -- less than the all-wheel-drive Ford Fusion. The Legacy's standard engine is a 173-hp 2.5-liter 4-cylinder, while a powerful 256-hp 3.6-liter 6-cylinder is optional. Of course the Legacy is significantly updated for the 2015 model year, but the Legacy has long been a great all-wheel drive sedan, the 2013 model has many high points. Check out a used version for a budget friendly way to get through winter comfortably. But don't expect a huge discount, a good condition Subaru Legacy in a part of the country that sees lots of rain or snow will still be worth a healthy portion of it's original value.
Volvo S60
The Volvo S60 is a midsize luxury sedan with an all-wheel-drive system available. While the base-level S60 T5 starts around $33,000 with front-wheel drive, shoppers can add the feature for just $2,000 extra. Those who opt for the muscular S60 T6, which boasts an impressive 300-hp turbocharged 6-cylinder, get the system as standard in the model's $40,000 purchase price. Of course, being a Volvo, the S60 also features a long list of other safety items, such as advanced stability control and Volvo's City Safety automatic braking system.
What it means to you: Our favorite all-wheel-drive sedans prove there are many all-weather alternatives to SUVs, regardless of your budget.

Noah Holmes doubled to drive in Will Callaway in the ninth to send Appalachian State to a 7-6 win over Wofford on Sunday.
In Boone, N.C., Noah Holmes doubled to drive in Will Callaway in the ninth to send Appalachian State to a 7-6 win over Wofford on Sunday.
The Terriers (13-16, 4-8 Southern Conference) trailed 6-5 heading into the top of the eighth when Josh Hyman (Woodruff) led off the inning with a single to left, and stole second after Seth Neely struck out.
James Plaisted singled to score Hyman, tying the game at 6.
Hyman went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, while Neely drove in two to lead Wofford. Luke Feisal also drove in a run for the Terriers.
Hector Crespo homered and drove in three runs, while William Head had three hits for the Mountaineers (14-9, 6-5).
Eric Eck took the loss for Wofford, while Josh Wilson got the win for Appalachian State.
Wofford next visits Winthrop on Tuesday, and then visits Auburn on Wednesday.
CLEMSON-UNC POSTPONED: Sunday's game between Clemson and top-ranked North Carolina was postponed until 2:45 p.m. today due to inclement weather. Play was suspended at 7:54 p.m. in the top of third inning with two outs and a runner on first base for the Tigers. North Carolina leads 2-0. The series finale is still scheduled for 6 p.m. today.
