Abstract Art – Contemporary Art For the Modern World
Abstract art encompasses a variety of colors, forms, lines and shapes in order to develop a composition that may or may not have certain associations with any existing visual references. This type of unique art came about as an alternative way of seeing and visualizing an artist's concept of reality. Rather than depicting true human forms such as those paintings that were predominant during the time of the Renaissance, abstract art took a different take on art, and how certain objects or ideas are depicted.
Artists who create abstract art are often the type of artists who choose to create things with a unique and individual take on an object or its subject. This type of art encompasses the relationship between colors, shapes and lines, which most often cannot possibly be duplicated. Often, there is deep meaning behind each abstract art piece that an artist creates, which can often be difficult for other people to interpret. Often, deep seeded ideas within the artist are brought about on canvas or other mediums, therefore making it quite challenging to identify its true meaning.
Art With No Definitive Subject
A lot of abstract art is an interpretation of a certain subject, but often it is just a random collection of various shapes and colors blended together. Some different forms of abstract art paintings include:
Expressionism – This type of abstract art is quite impulsive and displays an artist's brush stroke and color ideas.
Neoplasticism – Artists who engage in neoplasticism tend to use vertical and horizontal primary colors to express their vision of the absolutes in the world.
Cubism – Modern artists enjoy this type of abstract art which emphasizes bright colors and the use of light within the art.
Interpreting Abstract Art
A rather common reaction to abstract art is the idea that a child can create these types of works. Artists of abstract art, in turn, defend their art by saying that it is the lack of mental and emotional abilities within a person that prohibit them from understanding and appreciating abstract art.
Many times the abstract art piece is simply an expression of the artist's feeling or inner ideas, that may be almost impossible for the average person looking at the painting to understand or figure out. For this reason, it is important for the artist to include attractive and engaging components to the art work in order to keep the viewer interested and attentive.
There are a few things to consider when looking at abstract art paintings. First of all, rather than trying to determine what the painting means or what it is supposed to depict, try allowing something from the painting to emerge in front of you by keeping your eyes fixed on the painting for a certain period of time. Find abstract art paintings that incorporate colors that you love and that keep you intrigued.
Consider how the colors, textures and elements of the art interact with one another, and how or if they arouse some sort of emotional response on your part. Perhaps the name of the painting will have some amount of influence on what you are seeing in the painting. Give yourself enough time to look at the painting before determining what it is that you are interpreting from the artwork.
Using Abstract Art in Your Home
Abstract art paintings are wonderful pieces to use within your home to create a sleek, sophisticated and contemporary look to any space. The dynamic color and shape combinations can really make any wall pop, and will certainly provide a conversational piece for guests.
Since abstract art is created with many different colors and possible geometric shapes, you'll want to consider the color of your walls, the type of furniture you have, as well as any rugs that are present within the room. It's best not to hang abstract paintings that are larger than the furniture, as this can create some incohesion between these elements.
Buying Abstract Art Paintings
There are seemingly endless options of abstract art paintings. Many galleries – whether local or online – offer a variety of abstract art to choose from. One such online gallery that you an purchase original art from is GalleryToday.com. Their roster of abstract artists is vast, and as such, their gallery of available paintings is also considerable.
"Abstraction 2″ is a mixed media abstract art painting on cardboard that combines bright and sharp colors. It's priced at $800, and is available at GalleryToday.com. More information about this painting can be found at their online gallery.
"Pathway" is an oil on canvas abstract art painting that measures 31″ x 24″, and retails at GalleryToday.com for $700. You can find more information about this particular piece at their online gallery as well.
My Take
Abstract art is contemporary, modern, bold and colorful, and makes great pieces for any home, office or gallery. Because of the uniqueness of such paintings, it really is up to the viewer to determine what the painting is about, or what it means to the viewer.

EVGA is one of the elite NVIDIA partners that sells NVIDIA-designed motherboards based on the nForce chipsets, apart from being a leading graphics card vendor. EVGA for one, added innovation to the NVIDIA designs with its own level of enhancements, such as improved capacitors, more number of CPU power phases than NVIDIA's own designs, among others. EVGA brands these higher-grade motherboards under the "FTW" series. If you've spent long enough time on an internet bulletin board, you would know that FTW means "for teh win". EVGA decided to give its flagship motherboard, the nForce 790i SLI FTW an improvement with its power circuits. The new board, 790i SLI FTW PWM circuitry a digital upgrade. The board features an 8-phase circuit for the CPU. It also provides digital power management. This is said to push up its overclocking capabilities. The board provides vDroop control and onboard power, reset and clear CMOS buttons. The motherboard supports all LGA-775 socket processors including the ones with 1600 MHz FSB. It supports memory with speeds of up to DDR3 2000 MHz. The nForce 790i SLI FTW DIGITAL PWM is now on sale at $339.99, $40 higher than the older nForce 790i SLI FTW. Source: TechConnect Magazine
I see two 4 Phase SMD Coupled Inductors and maybe 8 Multi-Phase Switching regulators. This way you will have rock stable 250 Watt CPU power circuit and no limitations for overclocking. Still there is weak a cooling for Switching regulators. These chips will get pretty hot, I think. Last time I checked Voltera specifications there was a 150 degree Celsius max temperature, so it is OK.
Great to hear. Go eVGA. If only you branched into ATi with your quality. Sad though, I can't find my 680i A1 on the Egg anymore.
I have the 790i FTW and it says it has 8 phase pwr management so i am not sure what the new one has to offer.
So the difference is .... It's interesting , yo do'nt see the mosfets and there is only the heat pipe by the output stuff, none on the side of the cpu. I would be interested in how well this digital PWM works and what effect you really see, will i get better overclock, or just less ripple voltage and less vdroop or what.... Seems i need a EE to give me a better answer. I wonder what that really means for the board? DPM hmmmm, need to do some reading. thanks for pointing out the new Evga addition!
It is something called "Advanced Voltage Regulator Module". You can find that thing working in ATI HD4870 and X2 GPU's power circuit. There is no need for hardware modifications to deal with Vdrop. Now you can do it "on the fly" in BIOS or in Windows monitoring application.
Hi, so do you see a benifit on the motherboard, i noticed that the mosfets seem to be gone and less heatpipes, but will it be noticible for overclockers. thanks for the info...
I still don't get it what is the difference between these digital and (let's call it this way) "analog" PWMs. I am a second year electronics student, during study we mentioned PWM voltage regulation circuits and they are already digital power switching circuits. How come digital voltage regulator becomes more digital? EDIT: I think the only difference between "analog" (normal) and digital PWMs is the switching frequency. Due to decreased filter capacitors size it seems that digital PWMs use much higher switching frequency.
it still runs hot, if i had that board i would've replaced the whole heatpipe with thermalright or swiftech chipset/mosfet coolers. Thats why i think evga shoul've improved cooling capability, not just the fan.
lol I agree... most often XfX just take an OEM nVidia product then slap a sticker and add warranty on it. Evga on the other hand revises reference design.
I wanted to step up to the FTW and it is not one of the options I get from eVGA They want me to go to the Ultra 790 for about 90 bucks extra. Is XFX a good MB maker?
Beginners with cash = Alienware....then signup on a tech forum...learn from the mistake of splashing money at Alienware...learn what FTW means...
I have an Alienware tower .i.. ; P ..i. everything bolts great in it. Ofcourse I bought the least expensive setup because all I wanted was the tower, lol.

Critical Essays
Paul Zindel American Literature Analysis
To understand the themes that preoccupy Zindel, one must have a working knowledge of his personal life, because it infused most of what he wrote. His plays, for example, reflect his "virtually desperate" search for meaning in life. His young adult novels, on the other hand, reflect an attempt to resolve, through the creative process, problems left unresolved by an adolescence interrupted by a number of events.
The relationship between Zindel's personal life and his writing may also be seen in the way he worked when writing. He usually began by creating what he calls an "inspirational homunculus." This is a basic idea for a character, which was always based on a "life model" or "living image" (a real person Zindel had known). As his characters developed, Zindel identified closely with them as he placed them in situations in which they must resolve one or more of his own unresolved conflicts. Every situation is based on Zindel's own experience. His young adult novels are usually constructed around what he considered four fundamental themes of adolescence: the search for identity and meaning, the youthful questioning of traditional values, the loneliness of an individual in a crowd, and the difficulty of communication.
With minor variations, Zindel's stories follow an established formula. There is a principal protagonist, usually a dominant, wise-cracking male teenager, who is joined by a second teenager, always of the...

Climate change: A study from the Antarctic Research Centre at Victoria University has shown that some of our best-loved glaciers are retreating as a result of climate change. According to the research, the Franz Josef Glacier shrunk by three kilometers last century and could wind up seven or eight times shorter than its current length by 2100. Dr. Brian Anderson, a senior research fellow at the Antarctic Research Centre, said that climate change and the warmer, wetter weather associated with it would see both the Franz Josef and Fox glaciers retreating. The research revealed an erratic pattern of glacial retreat and advancement, which left scientists puzzled, however when the data was analysed it exposed a definite pattern of long-term retreat. The overall volumes of ice in these glaciers are set to decrease by 60 per cent by the end of this century. Since last year, guided walks to the Franz Joseph glacier have stopped.

Personalizing the self-service retail experience
Kiosks in retail are nothing new. However, new technology and innovations are transforming these systems from limited self-service directories into full-service shopping assistants that connect to the Web, provide social-networking opportunities, identify shopper behavior, and make it easy for customers to pay for items on the spot.
Adaptable, networked kiosks are just one of the components of the Intel Connected Store model for better, more immersive retail experiences. To learn more, watch this Connected Store video, read about Intel's vision for retail, or explore developer resources for kiosk design.
Attract and engage customers
Intel technology gives kiosks the computing intelligence to perform a variety of functions. Dynamic digital signage, face-detection software, and other capabilities attract customers with relevant, dynamically adaptable marketing content, then shift to shopping-assistant mode to help consumers locate items. They can also identify return consumers through their loyalty cards or cell phones via near-field communications technology. Add the possibility of selective sampling, and interactive kiosks become a profitable vehicle for targeting new marketing segments.
Mobile extensions are just the beginning
Incorporating mobile applications is just one of the ways to expand the kiosk experience. Retailers can deliver incentives to mobile devices, better identify candidates for up-sell and cross-sell, and send e-receipts to those shoppers who paid for items at the kiosk. This gives them an opportunity to deliver coupon for their next purchase, encouraging repeat visits and loyalty.
Save energy, reduce expenses with remote management
Managing kiosks over a network with Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) improves power management and security options such as remote power on/off. Because administrators can manage systems from a central location, they can easily power down all kiosks on the network overnight. This not only increases energy savings, but also reduces the need for technicians to go on-site for system maintenance, further lowering operational expenses.
Keep up with Intel innovations

I do love a low price, and you can't get lower than Zero. The good news is that there are a gazillion useful items out there that are just yours for the taking: everything from moving boxes to mature trees. And we all know how irritating immature trees can be.
The enlightened folks who donate these freebies realize that it makes more sense to give something away rather than dump it in the landfill. So when you take someone's electric juicer, you are not just being thrifty: you are protecting the environment. Frugaholics tend to think green.
I check this listing every day. Here are some sample offerings.
• "Barbie doll house, made of wood, hundreds of small toys inside, with Barbies. Adding a little bike also."
• "One green round plastic patio table w/4 chairs"
• "Free Paint Cans: Black, Light yellow, Aztek orange, Light green, Deep maroon/red"
Water is scarce and costly here in Los Angeles My plants were looking thirsty, and I was advised to put down a three-inch layer of bark mulch to help retain moisture. I have a very large front yard and a smallish back yard, so we're talking mucho mulch. One bag at the nursery is about six bucks and I needed about 30 bags.
I went on Craig's List and looked for freebies. Several tree services would deliver, but you had to take an entire truckload. This seemed risky. I had a nightmarish vision of getting a huge mountain of pine chips dumped on my front yard which I would never be able to use.
Then I noticed an ad from a private person which said "A tree service dumped a huge mountain of pine chips on my front yard. I will never be able to use it all. Come and take as much as you want." Perfecto! We filled our station wagon twice – which barely made a dent in the poor girl's mountain – and our formerly parched garden is now thriving, as you can see in the photo. What a deal!
I just became a member of the Freecyle network. www.Freecycle.org It's a really cool site where you can search for free goods, or recycle your own excess. It costs nothing to join, and the offerings are varied. A glance at one day's posts included a vacuum cleaner, a wooden desk, 50 sheets of poster paper, and cherry-flavored Nyquil.
Last week, I scored a shopping bag full of hair products, toiletries, and unused make-up. Then my husband needed to get rid of his old computer monitor. I posted a listing, and it was gone within 24 hours, which is a lot better than having to schlep it over to the electronic waste dump.
Freecycle has thousands of local groups representing millions of members. As a result, they are currently keeping over 500 tons a day out of landfills. This amounts to five times the height of Mt. Everest in the past year alone, when stacked in garbage trucks. In spite of the old inspirational song, "Climb Every Mountain," I say that's one mountain no one should have to climb.

Jews are often characterized as being cheap – as in the joke about the new Jewish game show, The Price is Too Much! I refuse to take this as an insult: I am proud to be a thriftaholic. I rarely buy anything that hasn't been pre-worn, pre-used, pre-loved. Among my frugalista friends, bargain-shopping is a competitive sport. So you can imagine my palpitations when I heard about the Sunday bargain fests at Jet Rags on La Brea. They put out mountains of vintage clothing in the parking lot, and you can take as much as you want for a dollar a piece.
This was particularly exciting for me, because – although I'm a writer and performer - I have a hobby business as a vintage fashion dealer. I buy '50s and '60s stuff at yard sales and thrift shops, and then resell them. You may have seen some of my finds on Mad Men.
I was looking for clothing from 1969 for the movie Men in Black 3 and I figured Jet Rags might be a treasure trove. It was indeed. I got there when it opened at 9, and there were already 40 hipsters combing through the piles. The crowd was a mix of students, tourists, unemployed actors, and serious fashionistas. I was definitely the den mother of the group.
In addition to a huge variety of clothing, you could also find fabric and linens. I saw someone taking a king-sized sheet set and asked if he wasn't concerned about bedbugs (one of my biggest phobias.) He said that as long as you throw the item into the dryer at high heat, you're safe.
One striking young woman was wearing a long black lace dress, oversized rhinestone jewelry, and 6-inch-high heels. Among her huge pile of purchases was ornate wedding gown, which she was planning to wear to a party that night. A wedding gown to a party? Oh well, different strokes…
A chic Dutch tourist stood aside while her friends rummaged. She didn't much care for this form of battlefield shopping, and was looking forward to visiting the tidy, organized stores at The Grove.
One young fashion designer was buying up all the denim. He told me that denim is hot again, and he planned to use the fabric to create his own styles.
I didn't find much in the way of 1969 summer dresses, but I did pick up a cool Hawaiian shirt for my son, a rain jacket for my husband, and a vintage hand-embroidered dish towel for my shabby chic kitchen. Not a bad haul for three bucks!
What I couldn't figure out was how the store could afford to sell stuff so cheaply. The manager explained that they buy hundred-pound bales for very little, and put out 12 bales every week. They are actually making money on the dollar items, so everybody wins.
From Jet Rags, I moved on to my usual Sunday haunt: Out of the Closet. This chain of thrift stores has dollar sales every Sunday, and I managed to find a dress and shirt for Men in Black, plus a Donna Karan silk knit turtleneck for myself. All in a day's work!

Everyday food preparation is a rushed, harried, nerve-wracking chore that consumes time I'd rather spend at something more profitable, like listing my garage sale finds in eBay. I would gladly pay extra for a house without a kitchen. You know that show, Thirty Minute Meals? Who's got thirty minutes? (For someone who resents cooking, I do spend a lot of time watching The Food Network. Go figure.)
But we can't eat out every night – or so Benni claims – so I try to create meals that are quick, cheap, and healthy. The good news is that the most beneficial foods are also the least expensive. A curried tofu-veggie stir-fry costs a lot less than a steak, and doesn't clog your arteries like the meat-and-potato diet I grew up with. The same goes for the linguine with pesto sauce that I make from my home-grown basil. Here are some lazy-ass recipes from my I'D RATHER NOT BE COOKING files.
• FOOLPROOF GUACAMOLE: Mash an avocado with a container of fresh salsa.
• SPICY SHRIMP APPETIZER: Mix some ready-cooked shrimp with a container of fresh salsa.
• MEAT LOAF ACAPULCO: Mix a pound of ground turkey with a container of fresh salsa.
• Plus some suggestions from slothful friends.
• GIL'S GARBAGE GAZPACHO: Take yesterday's leftover salad and throw it in the food processer with a can of plum tomatoes. (I would add some fresh salsa.)
• MICHAEL'S ELEGANT FROZEN DESSERT: Mix some vanilla frozen yogurt in the processer with a ripe papaya (or mango, or pineapple). Add a little rum, and serve in wine glasses. (Skip the salsa in this one.)
Whatever I prepare, I make sure there's enough for a few days. That's why cole slaw is my salad of choice: it's got staying power
• I try to eat local and organic, which can be costly if you shop at classy emporiums like Whole Foods. I resent paying seven dollars for a pound of cherries
• Trader Joe's is a much better deal, but there's an awful lot of plastic packaging which means (a) you're messing up the environment, and (b) you're forced to buy four artichokes when you only need two. I prefer to buy my produce piece by piece, as I need it. This is not the American way. I once asked my neighborhood greengrocer for two shallots. He joked, "Two shallots? You expecting company?"
• Farmers Markets have glorious fruits and veggies: fresh and cheap. Of course, the freshest and cheapest is the home-grown stuff. Even city people can do a little gardening: I just visited a photographer in New York who had trays of herbs on her fire-escape.
• My friends Laura and Guillaume are big meat-eaters, but they want to avoid the toxic chemically-grown supermarket stuff. They found a nearby farm where the moo-moos live natural, happy lives. Half a beef was about $850 - including butchering. They had meat for about two years.
Asian markets are the best places to buy fish. The product is fresher than fresh, and the prices are rock-bottom. Some of these places also sell live fowl, but that's a little too fresh for me.
I don't do those cavernous warehouse stores like Costco – they don't suit my lifestyle. Fifty pounds of sugar for twenty-two bucks may be a good deal, but I will probably be in the ground before I use fifty pounds of sugar.
I did score a two-pound jar of mango chutney for $6.89, at Smart and Final. Unfortunately, it had the thick, glutinous consistency of cheap jam.
I am, however, a big fan of the Ninety-Nine Cent Stores. I have found organic cauliflower and Silver Palate Pasta Sauces for – you guessed it – 99 cents. Plus Italian pasta at two-for-a-dollar. When you come across a great deal here, better buy as much as you can squirrel away: it may not be there next week. I learned this the hard way, when they stopped carrying those round cardboard boxes of triangular cheese snacks that cost four bucks in the supermarket.
Here's a cheapo healthy easy yummy dinner I made recently.
Cook small pieces of cauliflower together with the pasta.
In a separate skillet, heat some olive oil and sauté
Chopped sundried tomatoes
(A few anchovies – if you like)
Coarse bread crumbs – which I make myself from stale bread.
Chopped walnuts
Drain the pasta and cauliflower, add to the skillet, and mix in with the other ingredients.
Grate some Parmigiana cheese over the whole beautiful mess.
I threw together a green salad, and had a fab dinner for four. Total cost was about seven bucks since I had gotten most of the ingredients at the Ninety-Nine Cent Store.

Waffle irons, microwaves and toaster-ovens are among the many appliances that can be picked up on the cheap at yard sales, thrift stores, etc. I bought two George Foreman grills for two bucks each at a church rummage sale. We then invited a gaggle of visiting Danish relatives over for a panini party. Everyone selected their own combo of cold cuts, cheese, veggies, and dressings for a custom-made grilled sandwich. They all loved it - especially the little kids, who got a big kick out of being in charge of their own creations. And I fed a dozen people wihout doing any cooking – always a plus for my lazy-ass self.
On those rare occasions when I do some serious cooking, I use my food processor which was purchased at an estate sale for five dollars several years ago.
I'm still on the lookout for an espresso machine for family visits. My Danish relatives are caffeine fiends and require at least five cups of joe every day.
Our 1927 duplex is not insulated, so the rooms are cold and drafty. If I turn on the central heating system, it reaches jungle temperature after ten minutes and as soon as I turn it off, it's chilly again. I solved this dilemma by picking up small space heaters for a few bucks at thrift shops. They warm the room I'm in without blasting wasteful heat through the rest of the house. Climate control is not an issue for my husband, Benni. He has the interior thermostat of a lizard and never seems to need heat or air-conditioning. Lucky guy!

As with any addiction, there came a time when my bargain-shopping pleasure turned to pain. Every closet, shelf, and drawer in the house was overflowing with valuable stuff that was never used. I don't wear the designer clothing because I live in sweatpants. I don't use the crystal salt cellars because I rarely entertain. I don't have the time: I'm much too busy buying crystal salt cellars. After a family intervention, I agreed to go cold turkey. I wouldn't give up treasure hunting, but I would turn my compulsion into a business. I started selling my goodies: some on eBay, some to resale shops, some to private dealers.
It was fun to have a little cottage industry but, like all entrepreneurs, I dreamed of The Big Score: the costume person from a film studio who would be My Main Buyer. This person would appreciate my exquisite taste and, since they were paying with someone else's dime, would never haggle over the cost. I would sit in the audience and think, "That's my Escada blazer! That's my Weiss necklace!"
And so it came to pass. Twice a year we have a huge yard sale at rock bottom prices to unload the surplus goods. At my last sale, a young woman named Laura S. showed up and announced that she was doing wardrobe for a Dreamworks movie. Just like in my fantasy, Laura gushed over my fabulous taste, and phoned her assistant to check the sizes of various actors. She bought Anna Sui and Vivienne Tam and Armani. She bought a Coach bag and some vintage jewelry. She was in a hurry to get back to the set, so I took a check for $400. She promised to come over every month to check out my inventory. My dream had come true: I was in business with Steven Spielberg!
The check bounced. It wasn't just an oversight: the account had been closed for several months. I called Dreamworks and asked for Laura S. No such person. "Are you sure? She's doing wardrobe on Santa Clause 3." No, that film was not Dreamworks, it was Disney. I called Disney and learned that the movie had wrapped three months ago. Laura S. was a total fraud. The assistant she talked to was probably a dial tone. Laura played on my greed, my vanity, and my pathetic eagerness to be a professional shopper for the movies.
My miracle had turned into a "be careful what you wish for" fable. It served me right, because as a secular cynic, I ought to know that miracles do not happen: just random events that usually end badly. I was, of course, furious, but I was also fascinated by the psychopathology at work here. If you're a skilled con artist, why steal used goods from middle-aged yentas at yard sales? Whatever happened to professional standards? Even criminals should aim high.
I started leaving phone messages for Laura, sometimes several in one day. No reply, of course. We drove to the address on the check. No such person, of course. For many months to come, I was obsessed with revenge fantasies. I thought of all the things I would say and do to Laura S. if I ever ran into her: how I would make a loud scene in public and force her to pay me back.
And so it came to pass. I walked into a lingerie shop not far from home, and there, writing out a check on the same phony checkbook, was Laura S.! Just like I had imagined, I yelled to the owner, "Don't take that check! She's a con artist!" Laura looked up and said, just as sweet as could be, "Oh, I'm so glad I found you! I've been looking all over for you! I owe you money!" Yeah, right.
My fantasy script called for me to escort her to a nearby ATM machine, which I did. As she handed me the cash, she said, "I know you don't believe me, but I'm really not a bad person." "Laura, everything you told me was a lie." "No, I'm exactly what I said. I'm a film studio executive." Poor dear: if she had only put her mind to it, she probably could have been: she had all the qualifications.
Since the Laura debacle, I actually have started selling to the studios. My greatest coup has been supplying vintage fashion to Mad Men. So far, the checks have all cleared.

There are all kinds of thrifty living sites out there.
www.moneysavingmom.com is one of many mommyblogs that list supermarket and drugstore coupons and retail discounts. I buy very little processed food, so a lot of this packaged, chemicalized stuff is of no interest to me. I might want the free toothpaste, but I'm afraid that it would put me on some ghoulish marketing list leading to spam hell. I might, however, consider the 2 for 1 Subway deal, since Subway is my fast food of choice.
So many coupon sites are restricted to small stuff like mac 'n cheese, diapers, and pet food. BORING! www.Dealcatcher.com is a great antidote to all that. They point you to online coupons, products, sales, reviews, and rebates on a variety of items including electronics, home appliances, computers, clothing, housewares, and even groceries for the mac 'n cheese crowd. The site is updated throughout the day.
Here are some past offerings:
A 2-2/3-cubic-foot Haier compact refrigerator/freezer combo for $93.54 at Amazon after $129 savings. Free Shipping.
Dell Inspiron 13 13.3-inch Laptop with Pentium Dual Core, 3GB Memory, 250GB HD, Slot DVD Burner + $15 Dell GiftCard costs $399. Original price was $619
Oakley Vault Felon Sunglasses $50. Reduced from $150.
Me Like!
There's a cool frugalista site called www.RubbingNickels.com. I like them because they gave my book a great review. I also like them because they list a variety of useful cheapo deals on travel, entertainment, eco-living and all that good stuff.
I also like their motto: "Cutting back while moving forward."
One site they wrote about is called www.DinnerGarden.org This is an organization that provides people and community groups with free vegetable seeds and growing tips for cheap gardening in whatever space they have available: patios, backyards, schoolyards, community lots, and church lawns. "They envision a nation where front lawns, empty lots, medians, parks, schools, churches, and community centers devote space to fruit and vegetable gardens." Sounds good to me.

I hate to go shopping when I need something. I don't enjoy having to race against a deadline to find the right thing at the right price. I prefer to buy stuff when I spot a good deal, and then I have it when I need it.
My son was wandering through the mall a few weeks ago, not looking for anything in particular. He noticed that Macy's had a one-day special: a rack of men's pants for ten dollars each. Being his mother's son, he happily snatched up four pairs.
My friend Jay regularly checks the clearance sections at Target. The merchandise in these areas goes from 30% to 50% to 75% off, based on how long it's been sitting there. He knew I needed a small space heater and bought me a box of two for $14.95. He found a large patio table for himself for seventy bucks which had originally retailed for almost $300. He's also gotten fountains and other garden accessories at rock-bottom prices.
Jay also trawls for specials in the grocery aisles. Last week he scored 8 boxes of cereal for a buck. That's a lotta corn flakes!
Through a combo of Radio Shack and Amazon, Jay got four Tivo units and two one-year subscriptions for a pittance. He kept some and sold some. He finds a lot of these electronics deals on http://www.fatwallet.com.
When I needed a smart phone, Jay found an AT&T deal on Amazon. I paid $50 for my HTC Aria and then was not happy with certain elements so I complained to customer service and got a $30 credit. I'm not great with math, but even I can do the numbers here. Twenty bucks for a phone. Not too shabby.

You'd be surprised how many store owners are open to friendly haggling. For starters, you can always ask for a discount if you're paying cash, or if you're buying multiple items. My Danish brother-in-law Søren is a champion negotiator who gets markdowns in clothing boutiques, furniture and appliance stores - even hotels.
He does this by being charming, sincere and civil, and by believing that it never hurts to ask. We were on vacation in Italy, and wandered into an eyeglass store. Søren asked to see a fabulous pair of designer shades, but he wasn't comfortable with the price.
He pointed out, in a pleasant way, that this was October, so the season was over - plus he offered to pay cash. He succeeded in getting a lower price. Use your judgement, though. All the charisma in the world isn't going to lower the price at the gas pump.
One friend fell in love with a cocktail dress at Bloomingdale's, but it was more than she wanted to pay. She politely asked the salesgirl to bring over the manager, who agreed to offer a 20% discount.
Some people are constitutionally unable to haggle. My friend Kim actually said to the flea-market vendor, "Only ten dollars for that crystal vase? Oh, no, I feel I should give you twenty." Kim is no longer allowed to come shopping with me – but she is very welcome to be a customer at my own yard sales.

Attractive space heater
By Decorating contractor
from Elkhart, IN
The flame motor makes a clicking noise every 3 seconds, which can be annoying. It is a great alternative to heating a small room, since it has a thermostat. I was surprised at how realistic the flames look. If building into the wall do not add any horizontal studs. They will just get in the way. I used four lag bolts with washers instead of the screws they provided. Make sure your fill material inside the glass is level before you install the glass.

Reducing Improper Payments
"My Administration is committed to reducing payment errors and eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in Federal programs...agencies should use every tool available to identify and subsequently reclaim the funds associated with improper payments."
-Barack Obama, President
We take seriously our responsibility to reduce instances of improper payments. In fact, curbing improper payments is one objective in our current strategic goal to preserve the public's trust in our programs.
We consider payments improper if they result from:
- Our mistake in computing the payment;
- Our failure to obtain or act on available information affecting the payment;
- A beneficiary's failure to report an event; or
- A beneficiary's incorrect report.
Not all of our overpayments are improper payments, as unavoidable overpayments are not considered improper payments if statutes (laws), regulations, or court orders require us to make the payment. For example, the Social Security Act allows individuals, in prescribed circumstances, to request a continuation of their benefits while they appeal an adverse action. If the appeal is not decided in their favor, the resulting overpayment is not considered an improper payment because it was statutorily required at the point it was made.
We have a number of strategies in place to protect the public's tax dollars and ensure a more efficient and effective government:
- Dedicated funding: We committed $756 million toward our program integrity efforts for fiscal year 2012. This funding allowed us to complete 443,233 full medical CDRs and over 2.62 million SSI redeterminations.
- Use of a broad array of program integrity initiatives: We conduct both medical and work continuing disability reviews to determine if a beneficiary remains eligible, as well as Supplemental Security Income redeterminations to re-evaluate any nonmedical factors that would affect eligibility or the payment amount.
- Participation in the Partnership Fund for Program Integrity Innovation: Through this initiative, we identify ways to improve service delivery, payment accuracy, and administrative efficiency of assistance programs with shared Federal and State responsibilities. Visit Partner4Solutions to submit your ideas for improvement.

It was an uncredited role, but Zephyr and Zenith were bona fide Disney film stars.
The two cool cats spent four months cavorting on the plains of Kenya playing the part of Duma — an orphaned cheetah adopted by two vacationing American teenagers — in the new movie, Cheetah. (IMDb rated it 5.7 out of 10; Rotten Tomatoes gave it 50 per cent.)
Zephyr, a 43-kg female who loved to run, did the action shots, clocking in at 120 kmh in one race sequence. Zephyr, a 57-kg male, did all the stills.
The four-year-old felines were owned by Gina and Al Oeming who operated a wildlife Polar Park (known as the Alberta Game Farm when it opened in 1959), 20 km east of Edmonton. They were born in captivity in Africa but had lived at Polar Park almost since birth.
Disney searched throughout the United States and Europe for trained cheetahs, but the only pair they found was Zephyr and Zenith.
The family-oriented movie company discovered them through Oeming's U.S. television and movie connections. Oeming starred in the TV miniseries Man Of The North in 1980 with a co-producer of the movie.
Before the cheetahs left for Africa, the Oemings insisted Disney first send two animal handlers to Alberta where they could be primed for their parts.
At one time, cheetahs roamed as far north as Europe. Poachers decimated their numbers, and cheetahs are now an endangered species. The Oemings actively promoted the cats' plight which is why they agreed to the film, which had an anti-poaching vibe.
Polar Park ceased operating in 1998.

Navarre football fans should get ready for an excellent 2011-2012 season if the Spring Jamboree is any indication of the future of the new Navarre High School football team with a 27 – 6 score against Escambia.
According to football coach Chad Lashley, the jamboree is played by only the students who will play as a team next year, not graduating seniors.
"This is the beginning of next year's team," Lashley said. "The game serves as a measuring stick to determine how much progress we made."
With the team no longer able to rely on the leading seniors, new players must step into those roles.
"Spring football is a great opportunity for returning players to begin their new roles," Lashley said.

"The Campaign" made me think of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" if it had been written by the Onion staff. It involves a Congressional election in North Carolina in which both campaigns are reduced to gaffes and dirty tricks, until the tide is turned at the last moment by an uncontrolled outburst of honesty. Will Ferrell stars as Cam Brady, the four-term incumbent who runs basically because he likes being a congressman. Zach Galifianakis is Marty Huggins, the doofus who runs the local tourism board and is backed by billionaire brothers who want to "insource" cheap labor by buying the district and then selling it at a profit to China.
The movie is technically nonpartisan, although there is no mistaking the billionaire Motch brothers (John Lithgow and Dan Aykroyd). They're clearly intended to be the Koch brothers, architects of changes in our laws about political contributions that allow corporations to pour fortunes into campaigns.
The Motches have no particular ideology except that it is a good thing for them to get richer. Candidates Brady and Huggins stand for the Flag, our men in uniform and Jesus — although in a debate, when Huggins challenges Brady to recite the Lord's Prayer, he has to improvise.
The movie uses their campaign as a showcase of political scandals that have become familiar in both parties, missing only one: Neither candidate is caught adopting a wider stance in an airport restroom. Brady tops that, however, by seducing Higgins' tubby wife, Mitzi (Sarah Baker), filming it with his phone and then posting their rumpy-pumpy as a video that goes viral. This is not so much a campaign strategy as an outburst of savage rage, but it does give him a two-point bump in the polls.
The Ferrell character has a John Edwards hairstyle, and also borrows from Ferrell's "Saturday Night Live" performances as George W. Bush. If Galifianakis is inspired by anybody, it may be Newt Gingrich, although his Huggins is way too clueless to be Newt. During the course of the contest, he becomes inflamed with new insights, however, and is coached by campaign manager Tim Wattley (Dylan McDermott), who the Motches send in to provide him with a makeover so complete it even replaces the family dogs.
Brady's campaign manager is Mitch (Jason Sudeikis), who wants Brady to win primarily because he wants to hang onto his own cushy job. His loyalty runs deeper, however, than that of Brady's blond poster wife, Rose (Katherine LaNasa), who will put up with a lot but draws the line when her husband posts the porn of himself online. Brady also has a fondness for emailing photos of his penis; that's the kind of detail we wouldn't have been able to believe until — well, it happened.
The movie has been directed by Jay Roach, who seems to draw both from the broad schtick of his "Austin Powers: International Man Of Mystery" and "Meet the Fockers" movies and the political outrage of his "Recount" and "Game Change." He should get some credit for guiding both Ferrell and Galifianakis in playing characters who are at a certain distance from their usual screen personas.
Would a Republican enjoy this movie as much as a Democrat? Possibly. Party affiliations mean nothing to the characters, nor does the plot approach them.

BENTON, Ky. (3/29/13) – In order to review core content taught throughout the school year, Benton Middle School held "Hands-On-Learning".
The regular schedule of classes was changed so students could review lessons in core subject areas like math, reading, science, social studies, practical living, and arts and humanities. The lessons were designed to not only review core content, but also engage the students through a "hands-on" approach to learning.
The faculty and staff worked very hard to create fun lessons for the students in every class all week. Some of the lessons this week included hands-on food experiments. It was very effective for the students to review content from one class to another.
This showed that each teacher is committed to student achievement in all areas of the school.

Foursquare Co-Founder Dennis Crowley also emphasized the need for balance: "It is great to offer employees the flexibility that If they need to be off for a day or so, or for an afternoon, that's totally fine.
"We try to get as many people together in the office as possible because that's where stuff gets done. People hang out in the lunch room, and they hang out in the hallways and in different meeting rooms. You are more productive when people are all together, but I think you need to have a little bit of flexibility.
"We use things like Google+ Hangouts to do a lot of video conferencing at Foursquare, so we're able to make it work."We use things like Google+ Hangouts to do a lot of video conferencing at Foursquare, so we're able to make it work.
"It's a mixture of both, but not too much out of the office," he added.
David Marcus, President of PayPal, said: "This is not a black and white answer. Generally if teams are together they're definitely more efficient and more productive. But that being said, you also need to cater to moms who need to go and pick up their kids from school. And so you need to find the right balance."

"[B]oth commentators and courts have often attached the prefix 'quasi' to descriptions of an agency's rulemaking or adjudicative functions. . . . The terms 'quasi legislative' and 'quasi adjudicative' indicate that the agency uses legislative like or court like procedures but that it is not, constitutionally speaking, either a legislature or a court."
A legislative-like act undertaken by an entity other than a legislature. For example, rulemaking undertaken by an administrative agency is a quasi-legislative act.
Illustrative caselaw
See, e.g. Humphrey's Ex'r v. United States, 295 U.S. 602 (1935).
