We've all been there before: You wake up in the middle of the night, and while you try to get back to sleep, your mind veers to the topic of money. Before you know it, you're in a full-blown 2am panic during which you lose sleep and accomplish little. What begins as a passing thought to remember to pay the bills can suddenly leave you worried about how you'd pay those bills if you lost your job, how to climb out of debt, or how to make your budget stretch for the month.
10 Ways to Curb Financial Anxiety When You're Stressed About Money

How to Organize Clothes and Clean Out Your Closet
Without regular reorganization, my closet looks like a sample sale after the customers have ransacked the shelves. If your clothes closet is a similar disaster zone, there's no time like the present to take charge of your wardrobe, and get your space cleaned up.
Organizing your closet isn't just about cleanliness, though. It's about categorizing and taking inventory of everything you have, getting rid of the stuff you don't wear anymore, and essentially rebooting your style for the coming season. After all, it's hard to work those killer boots into your rotation when you forget you have them in the first place. If you've got a few spare hours, I strongly suggest a major closet clean-out to help you reclaim that space and reset your style. Here's how to get started.
10 Shopping Tips to Save Money at Outlet Malls & Factory Stores
By Jacqueline Curtis
When it comes to shopping, is there anything better than an outlet mall? Amazing sales, deep discounts, and significant savings abound, all in one place. However, the problem is that what seems like an amazing place to score great deals can actually end up being a spending trap – especially if those so-called "deals" aren't all that great.
A savvy outlet mall shopper knows that just because something has a sale tag on it doesn't necessarily mean it's a worthy discount. In fact, some of the secrets behind how outlet malls actually operate could surprise you – and make you think twice before pulling out your wallet the next time you visit one.
8 Home Buying Tips to Learn from HGTV's "House Hunters"
If there's one show that I chain-watch the most, it's "House Hunters." Seeing hopeful would-be homeowners search for the property of their dreams gets me every time – and because of my obsessive watching, my husband is now hooked too.
In each episode of "House Hunters," a person or couple looking to purchase a home meets with a real estate agent and offers a budget and a list of must-haves. The agent then takes the hunters to three different properties, where they have the opportunity to explore and discuss each one's pros and cons. At the end, the hunters pick which house they want, and the audience is treated to a quick post-purchase update.
10 Cheap & Frugal Celebrities – Lessons You Can Learn About Money
By Jacqueline Curtis
Anytime you page through the latest issue of a tabloid magazine, you receive a lesson in excess: celebrities frolicking on expensive vacations, wearing thousands of dollars in designer clothes, and driving the latest must-have $100,000 SUV. Of course, it's expensive to maintain that Hollywood image, so it's never too surprising to hear about celebrities going bankrupt after their 15 minutes of fame are up.
But just because the majority of celebs are spending money like the gravy train is in perpetual motion doesn't mean that all A-listers follow suit. In fact, there is a group of celebs in Hollywood known for their frugal way of life, even when it's clear that they're rolling in dough.
How to Dye Your Hair at Home – 9 Tips to Get Salon-Quality Color
If you're like me, you just don't have three hours to sit in a salon chair to get your hair cut and colored. After realizing that a professional-looking treatment isn't very hard to copy – and in the interest of saving my time, money, and sanity – I set about perfecting my home hair coloring technique. At first, it may seem like a recipe for disaster, but if all you're doing is covering up grays or making minor changes to shade, you're a prime candidate for home coloring.
7 Affordable Spring Clothes & Accessories for Women
I grew up in Toronto, Ontario, and I can vouch that whatever you've heard about Canadian winters is absolutely true. They're harsh, cold, and can feel never-ending. And of course, there's always that one gorgeous day in March that makes you uncharacteristically optimistic about the arrival of spring, only to collapse back into winter the very next day.
Whether you need to dress professionally or casually, trying to match your style to the unpredictable mood swings of Mother Nature can leave you feeling frustrated. Learning to transition your wardrobe to warmer weather when the seasons are slow to change is essential.
9 Financial Lessons to Learn from "Downton Abbey" (Spoiler Alert)
If you were one of the 8.5 million viewers who sighed when the latest season of "Downton Abbey" came to an end, join the club – I'm a diehard fan. Blame it on my love for all things British and the amazing costumes – and, of course, the juicy storyline and gasp-inducing plot twists as well.
But while "Downton Abbey" might simply be seen as a bit of fun for a Sunday night, I've noticed a recurring theme that colors literally every part of the show, characters, and plot: money. After all, the entire premise of the show is to prove that between the "have" and the "have nots," everyone has their own challenges. With this in mind, I started watching the show with renewed interest in the theme of money and financial security.
How to Use a 21-Day Financial Fast to Improve Spending Habits
By Jacqueline Curtis
In "The 21-Day Financial Fast: Your Path to Financial Peace and Freedom," financial advisor and Washington Post columnist Michelle Singletary outlines the "financial fast," a sort of money diet that promises to break bad spending habits, create a plan to become debt free, and set yourself on a better financial course for the future. While on a financial fast, you can't spend any unnecessary money – at all. Unless it's food, shelter, or something else essential to survival, you're committing to making do with what you already have.
8 Best Mobile Coupon Apps to Save Money Shopping With Your Smartphone
Extreme couponing can save you a lot of money, but it can also take a lot of energy. Fumbling through newspapers, clipping the best deals, and waiting for them to scan at checkout can make any quick supermarket trip an epic errand. People with kids or full-time jobs typically don't have the time to scour the Internet and print out, organize, and use anything more than the occasional coupon.
That's where couponing apps can come to the rescue. The ability to upload, "clip," and scan coupons directly on your smartphone can make the process a lot more efficient.
10 Affordable Travel Tips to Stay Within Your Vacation Budget
By Jacqueline Curtis
It seems like every time I log into Facebook or Instagram, I'm hit with a barrage of pictures from friends traveling the world. Whether they're backpacking across Europe, sightseeing in Asia, or exploring South American jungles, it's hard for me not to get a little travel envy. With two kids and a mortgage, though, dropping everything to jet set around the world just isn't in the cards – or in our budget.
14 Tips to Increase Productivity & Avoid Distractions When Working at Home
By Jacqueline Curtis
According to the U.S. Census, nearly six million Americans work primarily from home. If you're looking to become one of them, it's crucial to watch out for the pitfalls.
I've been working from home for the past eight years. And while I definitely am now comfortable doing so, there were a lot of growing pains early on. I once locked myself in the bathroom to have an uninterrupted conference call with a client – not quite the epitome of professionalism. However, if you take the time to prepare to work from home and create an atmosphere conducive to professionalism and productivity, it's more than possible to build a thriving career.
10 Ways to Take Care of Your Clothes and Make Them Last Longer
By Jacqueline Curtis
Whether you're a total fashionista or you avoid the mall at all costs, you probably spend a lot more than you think on clothing. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American family spent $1,736 on clothes in 2012. Although kids outgrow their clothing fairly quickly, adults can hang onto theirs for years – as long as it doesn't wear out.
Since longer-lasting clothing means more money in your pocket, be sure you do all you can to preserve your wardrobe. Of course, it may require changing a few habits. Luckily, you don't need special products to keep your whites sparkling and your dark garments looking sharp.
9 Money-Saving Tips From TLC's "Extreme Cheapskates" – Savvy or Risky?
If you've never seen an episode of TLC's "Extreme Cheapskates," here's a quick rundown: Each episode features two self-described "cheapskates" who demonstrate their cheap ways throughout the episode. From dumpster diving, to foraging for vegetables, it seems like there's no money-saving method too extreme for these beacons of money-saving savvy.
But here's the thing: While the cheapskates on the show cheerfully boast about all the money they're saving, not all of their behavior is safe. In fact, the series starts with a warning: "Don't try this at home."
15 Ways to Improve Your Career Prospects and Reach Work-Related Goals
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average person spends 8.8 hours per day at work – that's a little over 9,000 hours per year, essentially one-third of your life. It stands to reason, then, that you're going to want to choose a job that you truly love.
Unfortunately, economic conditions, necessity, and the simple twists and turns of life can lead you down a career path you're not necessarily passionate about. Whether you're stuck in a dead-end job, earning less than you want, or you simply aren't appreciated, a negative perception of your career can be discouraging.

I wonder if there are any tracers they could look for that would reveal the effects of all the beer we drink.
Photograph from RMUSA/Alamy
Published July 30, 2012
The Pacific Northwest may be the epicenter of U.S. coffee culture, and now a new study shows the region's elevated caffeine levels don't stop at the shoreline.
The discovery of caffeine pollution in the Pacific Ocean off Oregon is further evidence that contaminants in human waste are entering natural water systems, with unknown consequences for wildlife and humans alike, experts say.
(Read National Geographic magazine's "Caffeine: What's the Buzz?")
Scientists sampled both "potentially polluted" sites—near sewage-treatment plants, larger communities, and river mouths—and more remote waters, for example near a state park.
Surprisingly, caffeine levels off the potentially polluted areas were below the detectable limit, about 9 nanograms per liter. The wilder coastlines were comparatively highly caffeinated, at about 45 nanograms per liter.
"Our hypothesis from these results is that the bigger source of contamination here is probably on-site waste disposal systems like septic systems," said study co-author Elise Granek.
The difference may be due to more stringent monitoring in more developed areas.
"Wastewater-treatment plants, for the most part, have to do regular monitoring to ensure they are within certain limits," added Granek, a Portland State University marine ecologist. Granek noted, though, that caffeine is unregulated, and so is not specifically monitored.
By contrast, for on-site waste-disposal systems, "there is frequently not much monitoring going on."
The big sewage plants may also be at an advantage because Oregon cities are relatively small. The plants don't have to process the sheer volume of waste associated with a major city such as Boston, which one study has found to be pumping fairly high levels of caffeine into its harbor.
(Related: "Cocaine, Spices, Hormones Found in Drinking Water.")
"Contaminant Soup" Has Unknown Impacts
Hydrologist Dana Kolpin welcomed the new research, saying caffeine concentrations in water have been documented before but more often in freshwater than marine environments.
"Caffeine is pretty darn ubiquitous, and there is growing evidence that this and other understudied contaminants are out there," said Kolpin, of the USGS's Toxic Substances Hydrology Program in Iowa City, Iowa.
In our waste "there is a whole universe of potential contaminants including pharmaceuticals, hormones, personal-care products like detergents or fragrances, even artificial sweeteners."
Caffeine is something of a canary in a coal mine for elevated levels of human contaminants in water, said Kolpin, who wasn't part of the new study.
In other words, if caffeine's in the water, chances are there are other contaminants too.
"What does this mean?" he asked. "Aquatic organisms are getting hit with a soup of low-level contaminants.
"Are there environmental or human-health consequences from exposure to these compounds or different mixtures of compounds? Obviously that's the million-dollar question."
(Infographic: How Coffee Changed America.)
Caffeine and Cellular Stress in Animals
Caffeine has been documented in waters around the world, including Boston Harbor, Puget Sound, the Mediterranean, and the North Sea. It might persist for up to 30 days in marine waters, study co-author Granek noted.
But the stimulant's impact on natural ecosystems is unknown. Nonlethal effects may be invisible but could have repercussions up and down the food chain and from generation to generation.
Granek and colleagues have shown in lab experiments that caffeine at the levels found offshore does affect intertidal mussels, causing them to produce specialized proteins in response to environmental stress.
The levels found in the remote study areas, for example, "did cause these mussels to exhibit cellular stress," she said. "If we expose them to higher concentrations or longer terms, do we see changes in growth rates, or changes in reproductive output?" The team hopes to find out with future experiments.
Kolpin said some studies of other contaminants have shown more drastic effects, including one at a remote Ontario Lake, which concluded that estrogen from birth control pills can cause wild fish populations to collapse.
"With caffeine, we're not yet sure about its environmental effects," he said. "But it's a very nice tracer, even if it doesn't have a large effect, because in most parts of the world, you know that this is coming from a human waste source."
The Pacific Northwest caffeine research was published in the July 2012 edition of the Marine Pollution Bulletin.

Fueling system problem causes disruption at MIA
A problem with the fueling system at Miami International Airport caused approximately two dozen flights to be delayed or diverted to other area airports on Saturday afternoon.
The trouble began at 1:30 p.m., when an electrical problem shut down the pumps, which directly refuel the planes, according to MIA media relations officer Mark Henderson. Fuel trucks were able to take over for some but not all flights, causing one flight to be canceled, 12 outgoing flights to be delayed, and at least 12 flights slated to arrive at MIA to be diverted to other airports.
Ten were sent to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, and two to Palm Beach International, according to officials there. The problem at MIA was fixed by 4:45 p.m., said Henderson.

I use a hockey puck
Just what I need - another reason to go to Lowes!
after reading this last night, i bought the same right angle 3/4 thread fitting for a whopping 63cents. i have a true brew bottling bucket-... i had to cut the 90deg fitting by about a 1/2". i had to remove the platic nut from the back completely and replaced it w/ the 90deg fitting. i re-used the gaskets.
i took it for a test drive w/ some water-... no leaks, worked as everyone said, and only had about 1/16" of water @ the bottom!
You guys with the books and pucks - drop the big loot and buy the damn thing! You will thank me (well, you can actually thank the original poster which I should probably find again and thank!)
A 3/4 elbow pipe ran me 79 cents at Ace. Just did a water run in the bottling bucket, all but 1/2 cup came out. Amazing! I told the guy at Ace it was going to change my life.
I'm actually looking forward to bottling in 2 weeks. New dip tube for the spigot, new sulfiter and bottle tree. If only I could afford a slick bench capper to I'd be in bottling paradise.
Man do I wish I would have seen this sooner, very slick! Thank you! I got one that has some molding defects with some pitting in spots, shouldn't be a problem if i soak in Star San though should it?
I used the same but went with normal non threaded pipe, then I used a threaded street adapter screwed to the spigot to connect the 90 to. I was concerned about the threads holding nasties.
Pretty sweet idea. Thanks for posting!
And now you see that Evil will always triumph, because Good is dumb!

|Hi all,
I've searched the forums and the Internet for information about the Harsch sauerkraut crocks to no avail.
I have a family of 4. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy the 5lt or the 7.5lt crock.
The questions I have are:
1. How tall is the 5lt vs the 7.5lt?
2. How many cabbages can you put in the 5lt vs the 7.5lt?
3. How much finished sauerkraut do you get with the 5lt vs the 7.5lt?
4. Are there any recommendations as to what the minimum and maximum load limits are? (ie, you can fill the crock a minimum of __ full, or a maximum of __ full).
5. Is there anything you wish you had known about the crock before you purchased it?
Thank you for your help.

|Wow, I just googled them, and was astounded at the expense. I live in pottery country, and our local potteries do make stoneware crocks, and they are much more modestly priced. Not as fancy, but work. I have several crocks, and use them for everything from storage to making minced meat and kraut. The one I make kraut in is a five gallon job, easily. Doesn't mean I need to fill it entirely. But seems to me that the last load I made translated into just seven quart jars. Eight quarts are the equivalent of one gallon, so you'll need an eight litre or close to it, minimum to do a seven quart load of kraut.
|Please check out the link below. It's to a hardware store in Amish country I frequent. They have the German fermenting crocks, as well as the stoneware crocks, and if this is the same type of crock you are seeking info on, they have the dimensions listed. You may also be able to do some price comparisons and the customer reviews are there as well. I'm not trying to drum up sales for them, but I have purchased items there for many years and they are very reputable and the customer reviews state that they have quite reasonable prices on those German crocks. They also have very good customer service reps who could answer any other questions you might have about them.
Here is a link that might be useful: fermenting crock data
|Oh my goodness! Calliope thank you SO much for posting that link. It's the same type of design as the Harsch and so much cheaper!! I have a 10L Harsch and wanted to buy another but didn't because or price. I wish I'd known, I could have bought two from Lehman's for $40.00 more than what I paid for one! But at least now I can afford another. Thanks again!
Springschel I can't be much help to you except to say that I put 2 small cabbages into my 10L and it only filled about 1/4 of the crock or less . . . and it made 3 packed quarts of delicious sauerkraut. I plan on filling it next time. You do need to leave head room. I believe you can only fill them 3/4 full. I'm not sure how Calliope got 7 qts from a 5 L. Maybe she shredded her cabbage finer and it compacted more than mine?

|Thanks guys!
|I got seven quarts in a five GALLON stoneware crock, LOL, not five litre. That's what I was trying to convey. It takes a five gallon size to comfortably do one canner load of quarts. Much larger than the OP was considering and when I can anything, I want the capacity to do a full canner load.
You're welcome for the link guys. This place is a Godsend for a lot of hard to find items for people who live simply. Apart from my puter, I'm a Luddite. I even trusted Lehman's enough, I got a wringer washer from them and that's a lot of trust. LOL.
|I have a 10 liter Harsch and I do love it. I don't think I could go much larger because I don't think I could lift it easily.
This isn't what you're asking, but something that works really well is a five-gallon bucket (or three gallon or whatever) with an airlock. You can buy the whole shebang for less than $10 at any brew shop. It keeps the air out while letting gas escape. You can just put a plate on top of it to weigh it down or use large ziploc bags full of water. It's uber-easy.
I have a few five-gallon buckets and then four two-gallon buckets which I use for smaller batches of ferments.

New Swansea City head coach Garry Monk has promised he will "give everything" for the club in their fight for Premier League survival.
Monk took the reins for the "foreseeable future" after Michael Laudrup's dismissal on Tuesday, with the Dane's backroom staff - assistant manager Morten Wieghorst, fitness coach Oscar Garcia and overseas scout Erik Larsen - also leaving.
And Monk, who spent 10 years at Swansea as a player, has vowed that he and his players are fully committed to keeping the Welsh club in the top flight after a run of just one win in their last 10 Premier League games.
"I will give everything I have for Swansea City," the 34-year-old told Swansea's official website.
"I will promise the fans that. And I will ensure the players do exactly the same. We are all in this together - and I will make sure we stick together.
"That is what Swansea City have been all about for as long as I can remember.
"I know this club inside out and I will try and use that knowledge to the betterment of Swansea City."
Monk, who captained Swansea in all four divisions after signing from Barnsley in 2004, went on to say it was vital that the club battled for the supporters.
"I know how important this football club is to the fans," he added.
"They are the important ones in all this and we will all fight every inch of the way for them.
"This is a proud moment for me, and I aim to do the best possible for this club and the loyal supporters."
Monk will be assisted by Alan Curtis, who has been at the club in a playing and staff capacity for 30 years.

It was kind of fun thinking about and compiling those titles and I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to submit another selection. This time it's underrated thrillers – I've written about all of them at one time or another on this blog, some of them a good few years ago now, but you'll need to pop over to Brian's place here to see which ones I settled on. Please have a look when you get the chance.

Another Anniversary
It's exactly seven years ago today that I put up my first post on the now defunct FilmJournal site. Although my output at this place has slowed to something of a trickle of late, I didn't want to let the occasion pass without a mention. I hope to get back to writing a bit more regularly as soon as possible, time permitting of course. Anyway, in the meantime, let me just say thank you to all the visitors and movie-lovers who have helped keep this site going – there's been some vibrant and informative chat over the years, and that's what really forms the heart of the place.
The Stranger's View
Last weekend I went to the cinema to see a movie set in my homeland. I suppose it qualifies as a kind of period piece now, the action taking place over 40 years ago. '71 is a thriller which unfolds amid the Troubles in Belfast in the titular year. Frankly, it impressed me a lot, and not only because it recreated the world in which I grew up, with its tight pacing and essentially simple storytelling. As I watched it, and then reflected on it afterwards, I was struck by how the film tapped into the mentality of the people, my people, and thus offered a very honest portrayal of the times and circumstances. The director of this movie is Yann Demange, a man of French birth. This had me thinking how some of my favorite films set in my country had been directed by those who were basically outsiders – Odd Man Out (Carol Reed) and The Gentle Gunman (Basil Dearden) – yet managed to get under the skin of the people on the screen and perhaps see us more clearly as we really are.
It occurred to me then that this isn't some isolated phenomenon confined to films set in Ireland. Hollywood in its heyday was packed with émigré directors who shaped the popular culture of the era. Film noir is one of my own favorite styles and came to be a staple of American cinema in the golden age, yet the movement was largely dominated by those born far from its shores – Lang, Wilder, Siodmak (who grew up in Germany), Tourneur, Brahm, Ulmer and many others besides. Isn't it a little odd that such men should wind up as the biggest movers and shakers in what was arguably a generic American film movement? The western, which is the genre closest to my heart, has fewer examples of course, but directors such as Lang, Tourneur, De Toth and Fregonese still made significant contributions to its development.
So, I guess that's the question for the day: is it sometimes more beneficial for a filmmaker to come at their subject, or indeed genre, free of the inevitable baggage an insider brings along? Does distance in some way sharpen perspective and allow a clearer appreciation? I'm not sure there's a definitive answer but if anyone feels inclined to offer their thoughts, they are most welcome.
The Killers in HD
As a huge Robert Siodmak fan, I just wanted to pass along the news that Arrow Films in the UK are releasing The Killers on Blu-ray on November 17. It's up for pre-order on their website here.
For me, it's an awful close run thing trying to decide whether The Killers or Criss Cross represents Siodmak's best work. Either way, it's a terrific and very welcome bit of news.
Andrew V McLaglen
It's just come to my notice that veteran film and TV director Andrew V McLaglen has passed at the age of 94. The son of Oscar winner and John Ford favorite Victor McLaglen, his long career in showbusiness makes for impressive reading and some highly entertaining viewing. On TV he directed over a hundred episodes of Have Gun – Will Travel and wasn't far off that total for Gunsmoke. On the big screen he helmed a number of late-era John Wayne movies and a trio of enjoyable adventures I remember seeing in the cinema back in the day – North Sea Hijack, The Sea Wolves and The Wild Geese.
Save The Alamo (1960).
I wanted to pass this message on from Toby's westerns site. It's a shocking state of affairs to say the least, and all of us who care about the movie, or just the legacy of cinema in general, need to pass our feelings regarding this along to the studio.
Originally posted on 50 Westerns From The 50s.:
It's hard to believe that John Wayne's The Alamo (1960) is in danger of being lost. What's doing it in? First, the natural breakdown of its original film elements. Second, MGM's lack of interest in saving it, even if the public helped pitch in to pay for it. (If there was ever a reason for Kickstarter to exist, this is it.)
Read Robert Harris' report on the elements and MGM's crappy attitude here. And if a letter-writing or Facebook-flodding campaign gets going, hop on it.
100,000 Views
Today sees this site passing another little milestone. There have been one hundred thousand views since moving to the WordPress platform – a very pleasing statistic as far as I'm concerned. It's an opportunity for me to send out a big thank you to all the visitors, commenters and contributors – it's you (and you all know who you are) who make the whole thing not only possible but a pleasure too.
I also thought it might be nice to let people see which posts – excepting hits on the home page and index – have drawn the most traffic so I've added a graphic below featuring the ten most viewed. It seems clear enough that westerns and western related material are easily the most popular.
Readers Choice 3
I reckon it's time to feature another Audie Murphy western and I've narrowed it down to two options. Seeing as it's been a while since I offered readers a chance to cast a vote for what they'd like to see, I thought it was a good opportunity to run a poll. The choice is between Tumbleweed (1953) and Ride a Crooked Trail (1958). I'll leave the poll open until midnight on Saturday and will go with the majority decision. Take your pick people.
Movie Adaptations
Where do our favorite movies come from? A fair few have been, and continue to be, the result of original scripts but many are adaptations. While a modern movie may credit a play, a TV show, a comic book, or even a video game as its source, the most traditional inspiration came from the pages of novels and stories. Now there's an obvious advantage built in here – screenwriters have a fully formed narrative from which they can work. On the other hand, this also imposes certain limitations on creativity, depending on how faithful to or respectful of the original writer's work it's considered important to be. The greatest difficulties, from the perspective of the filmmakers, tend to rear up when the work being adapted is particularly well-known or well-regarded. Fans of the author or story have a habit of getting up in arms if they sense the filmmakers are straying too far, either in terms of plot or spirit, from their beloved piece of writing.
Yet that is a situation which is virtually unavoidable. When you get right down to it, we're talking about different media here, with different aims and different aesthetics. Something which proves successful on the printed page may not, for a whole variety of reasons, translate well to the cinema screen. That may be a consequence of the narrative structure not being especially cinematic – lack of pace and urgency, too great a sweep, or too much stream of consciousness. The point here is that changes, maybe major ones, are frequently not only desirable but also entirely necessary for an adaptation to work on the big screen.
It also begs the question of what exactly constitutes a good source for cinematic adaptation. Over the years I've come to the conclusion that very often it's safe to say that the more worthy or respected the book, the less satisfactory the resultant movie is. Generally speaking, that is. Hemingway was one of the finest writers of the 20th century, perhaps even the finest, yet the adaptations of his writing have all been somewhat lacking. F Scott Fitzgerald is another who could be said to have suffered a similar fate. Frankly, I'm sure we could all name plenty of renowned writers who have been poorly served by the films their work inspired. Conversely, there are countless highly entertaining, and sometimes artistically impressive, films derived from the kind of pulp writing I'm sure even its creators would cheerfully admit never aspired to being regarded as great literature. So those are my questions for anyone who cares to tackle them: What do think are the best literary adaptations? And why does the anomaly of poor books leading to good films, and vice-versa, exist?
Underrated Westerns
Just wanted to let readers know that Brian at Rupert Pupkin Speaks has been running a feature on underrated westerns recently and getting contributions from various bloggers. Anyway, he asked me if I'd like to submit some for consideration. I was pleased to do so, and you can see my selection here. While you're there it's worth looking through the choices others have made – I think the series is a great idea.

Led by a Terrific Group of RBs, Beer Wench Will Be a Tough Out
Draft Summary
Beer Wench figures to be in the mix for a playoff spot all season, taking the eighth overall draft slot and turning it into a solid team that's expected to go 10-3-0 (1,517 points). With that record, they will likely finish fourth in Kick Rocks League. They went after the diva position early, using three of their first five selections on WRs Dez Bryant (second round), Vincent Jackson (fourth round), and Pierre Garcon (fifth round). They put together one of the most prolific groups of RBs in the league, as they added Matt Forte, Giovani Bernard, Donald Brown, and Bernard Pierce.
Nice draft. If there were a Fantasy Football Hall Of Fame, you should nominate yourself. Wait, there is? And you can??
Keeper Summary
Beer Wench decided to disregard their only keeper spot, instead leaving their fantasy fate solely in the hands of the draft.
Whether by good fortune or well-planned strategy, Beer Wench has secured a favorable bye week schedule for their superstars. Of their top five players in projected points, none share a common off week. Taking a look at the entire season from start to finish, they have one of the hardest slates. Along with having the third-most demanding overall schedule, Beer Wench also has the toughest first four games of the season.
Draft Notes
Positional Fortitude
Beer Wench has four positions that are stronger than league average. While RB, WR, and DEF are projected to be good, TE is the best on Beer Wench.
No Back-Up No Cry
Ignoring roster depth, Beer Wench chose only one player at three different positions (TE, DEF, and K).
The Bargain Whisperer
Beer Wench was hunting for steals throughout the draft, snapping up a trio of bargains in the first 9 rounds (Robert Griffin III, Pierre Garcon, and Giovani Bernard).
Take One Play Off and He Burns You
Kenny Stills is a classic deep-ball weapon, ranking fourth among NFL WRs in percentage of receptions over 40 yards (6.2%).
Beer Wench Went All YOLO Here
Grabbing Donald Brown at pick 176 was, let's say, conceptually adventurous. Brown is owned on just a few rosters across all Yahoo! leagues.
Player Analysis
Does Matt Forte Enjoy Fajitas?
- Matt Forte, RB
- Round 1, Pick 8
Because his all-purpose yardage figures are sizzling. Forte is projected to rank fourth in the league with 1,698 total yards.
PPR Powerhouse
- Dez Bryant, WR
- Round 2, Pick 17
Check that dude for stickum! Dez Bryant figures to be a PPR monster, with an NFL-leading 106 projected catches.
On a Scale of 1 to America
- V. Jackson, WR
- Round 4, Pick 41
How free will Vincent Jackson be in the secondary? He's projected to rack up 1,207 receiving yards this year.
Apparently ADP is Overrated
- M. Bennett, TE
- Round 6, Pick 65
With their sixth-round pick, Beer Wench pulled the trigger. They took Martellus Bennett at pick number 65 despite an ADP of just 118.7 across all Yahoo! leagues.
Was Defense the Best Choice at Pick No. 80?
- Cincinnati, DEF
- Round 7, Pick 80
Beer Wench apparently thinks so. Cincinnati's Defense is projected to get 277 points this year, after putting up 310 last season.
Best Available
QB and K are expected to be the worst positions for Beer Wench and a potential area of need.
- Johnny Manziel
- Rank 136, ADP 129
- Carson Palmer
- Rank 138, ADP 137
- Dan Carpenter
- Rank 217, ADP 127
- Jay Feely
- Rank 224, ADP 144

Schedule by Opponent PointsWeek
Week-by-week schedule with each opponent's projected season points. This chart shows any difficult or easy stretches in the schedule.
How We Grade
Draft grades are based strictly on teams' draft performances. This is calculated by counting the number of fantasy points teams are projected to score over the course of the season using their optimal line-ups. The grades do not take schedule into account. Because of bye weeks and other variables it is possible to earn a high grade yet be projected to finish in the middle of the pack. The opposite is also true. Bottom line: Fantasy Football is like the real game. You can draft the greatest talent in the world but you still need to manage your team every week to get the most out of that talent. As a wise man once said, "On any given Sunday..."

Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Biography
Posted June 5, 2001
You go, Grandmother!
Eleanor: married to two kings, mother of even more kings and queens. A ruler in her own right before she allied with Kings Louis and Henry (well, it was she who made Henry, Duke of Anjou, into King of England). A feminist. A world traveler. Possessed genius intellect. Patroness of the arts. This book was packed with well-researched and incredibly juicy information about my direct ancestress, Eleanor of Aquitaine. If even one percent of her DNA is contained in mine, I'd be surprised but proud. Eleanor was an incredible human being for any age, much less 900 years ago. The author has brought Eleanor to life from household bookkeeping journals and royal annals, sculpture, an 'analysis' of Eleanor's temperament based on her ancestors and her descendants, and other historical accounts. The book is a history, but it reads almost like a novel. Thanks, Ms. Meade, for your careful research and lively writing style. And thanks to your extensive background on Eleanor's family, I was able to augment my genealogy chart by several generations on both sides of Eleanor's parents! A lovely bonus.

Tune in to the debut episode of Major Wave League Radio!!! HAS THE LOTTERY STRUCK THE WAVE GAME?
The Wrongful Arrest and Malicious Prosecution of Major Christopher Bonds
in Radio
On June 28, 2008 Major Christopher Bonds was wrongfully detained, arrested and later indicted for a crime he never committed. His wife's great Aunt who had been previously diagnosed with dementia alleged that Major Bonds choked her as well as elbowed her in the chest. Most people who are familiar with Alzheimer or dementia patients understand these patients often make up events and actually believe they occurred. However, the Chicago police department did not thoroughly investigate these accusations, nor did they take into account the aunt's mental condition at the time of the report. When Major Bonds made numerous attempts to explain to detectives what had actually occurred, he was left with the impression the...y were not at all concerned about the truth. These false accusations have lead to years of Major Bonds fighting in court against the word of an Alzheimer patient whom he loved and cared about . The whole ordeal has left Major Bonds exhausted mentally, physically and financially. He has spent over $100,000 in legal fees. After a lengthy court battle this case was eventually dismissed. However, the same judge that dismissed the case has refused to expunge Major Bonds arrest record.
Major Christopher Bonds will tell in his own words how much this has actually cost him. We understand this wrongful arrest forced him into bankruptcy and almost ruined his military career.

Choosing a Major
in Education
Many of us have an idea of what we want to do when we grow up from the time we are small children. Some of us have experiences along the way that inform our future careers. Some of us just graduate from high school and start collge with no idea. Some of us choose majors, some majors are chosen for us by others. Regardless of how it happened, we have a major.
How do you know that major is the right one for you? Have you really stepped back to think about what you enjoy doing and what you would do if no one paid you to do it? What strengths and abilities translate into majors? What is a good fit?
This episode of Tassel to Tassel doesn't have the answers to those questions, but it does have suggestions for how to find them. Tune in to find out how.

Empowering Your Mind ~ Author Anjulle Floyd "When The Drum Major Died"
in Entrepreneur
"When The Drum Major Died" by Anjulle Floyd
December 1967.
Martin Luther King, Jr. has begun laying out plans for his Poor People's Campaign. Florina Austin, newly married, spies a woman sitting on the steps leading up to the verandah where Florina and her husband will live. The woman's uncanny knowledge of the space that Florina will inhabit leaves her suspicious.
The following Sunday after church, Florina witnesses the woman, she has come to know as Agnes, caress Redmond's cheek. The look in Redmond's eyes betrays longing. Florina and Agnes are neighbors. Their husbands, Negro doctors in Poinsettia, NC, hold prominent positions in the social and political life of their community. When Agnes flees to Memphis and joins the Sanitation Workers Protests, all are aghast, none more than Florina. As they move towards the fateful day Dr. Martin Luther King is killed, Florina learns that marriage exposes the vulnerabilities of all who pledge their trough and body. It casts an even greater shadow upon the ones who vow love unto death, and do not deliver what they have promised. When the Drum Major Died shows what happens when we resist change in favor of worn out tradition, but also what can and does occur when we open our hearts and embrace the words, " … be first in love … be first in generosity … He who is greatest among you shall be your servant. …"
