Odd Ways to Save Money
12 Bizarre Things People Do to Save Money
Posted on 7/28/2014 13:11 EST
We've created and curated dozens of lists that share tips and tricks for saving money. But this post takes a different tack: Things you probably shouldn't do to save money. These behaviors hover right over the line of being just too weird or downright gross.
Photo by sxc.hu/Ale_Paiva
Eat dog food.We've seen several exhortations in the frugalsphere to "eat dog food." We're not really sure if anyone takes this gross tip seriously (apparently, dry dog food is tastier than wet, if you want to give it a shot). Plus, if you look at how much high-end dog food costs, making the switch might not save you all that much.
(Multi-) shower-free days.Of course, conserving water for ecological reasons is important, and we've all had days here and there when a shower just didn't fit in. But keeping yourself clean seems pretty fundamental. If you want to pare the water bill, get yourself wet, turn off the water while lathering up, and then rinse off quickly.
Splitting toilet paper rolls.As anyone who has used single-ply toilet paper knows, it's not the best experience but not necessarily disgusting. And yes, buying two-ply rolls and splitting the sheets will probably save you a few bucks. But considering the time it takes to split and re-roll toilet paper, are all those wasted hours worth the small change you'll save?
Eliminate the toilet paper all together.This tip saves even more than splitting the rolls, but for most of us it's surely a step too far into gross territory. And we're not talking about Euro-style bidets here. A handful of families have made the switch to cloth wipes. After use the wipes are dropped into a bin filled with water and bleach, where they soak until laundry time.
Dumpster diving.Yes, you probably know one bakery on the other side of town that throws out perfectly good day-old bread. And it's true that many supermarkets throw away food that's far from spoiled, and that some folks have few other sources of nutrition. For the most part, though, dumpster diving is kinda distasteful.
Train your cat to use the toilet.Actually, this is pretty cool albeit peculiar. The YouTube training videos may seem a tad bizarre, and the basic premise is certainly way out there, but potty-training your cat will save you a load of money.
Hoarding.Hoarding sometimes stems from the belief that something is so cheap that you're compelled to buy it, or that it's worth stockpiling "just in case." The upshot can be dangerous and gross. Hoarding disorder may become serious and should not be dismissed with the same lightheartedness directed at the other odd-ball "save money" ideas noted here. If you suspect that you or someone you know has hoarding disorder, consult a professional.
Spam friends.We've written about how to get rebates and discounts by sharing deals and recent purchases with your friends, but there's a limit. If you're over-sharing, cut it out now or you'll find you don't have any friends left with whom to share what's really important.
Getting furniture from sidewalk cast-offs.Before you protest, let me explain. Furnishing your digs with items rescued from the sidewalk is an obvious money-saving strategy. The piece might need a quick sanding and paint job, or a little spot-clean and patch, and it will be as good as new. But if you live in an area where bed bugs or other small pests run rampant, bringing an upholstered chair into your home is both gross and potentially very costly.
Cup-of-noodle diet.This is an easy way to live off a few dollars a day, but the cup-of-noodles diet provides several times the recommended daily intake of sodium. Don't be surprised if the initial savings are short-lived, because your health may be, too.
Stealing.Stealing is not just gross -- it's just plain wrong. At one time illegally downloading music, TV shows, and movies was the only way to get access to a wide variety of media without heading to the store. No longer. With free streaming services like Pandora, and inexpensive options like Netflix and Hulu Plus, it's a snap to find something to listen to or watch on the cheap. Heck, you can even get deals at movie theaters if you know where to look.
Knitting with dog hair.Thanks to Cracked for putting us onto the fact that this is actually something people do. Knitting with Dog Hair is a real book, but it's not a necessary one.

Free English to Spanish Translation Guide: Choosing a Translator for English Spanish Translations
This is Part 2 of the English Spanish Translations Guide series on choosing a Spanish translator. Click here to go to Part 1. At the bottom of the page, you will find more resources, including a Spanish translation pricing guide.
Free English to Spanish Translation Guide: What to look for in a Spanish Translator - Part 2
In some cases, you will need a translator with a background in the subject matter of your translation. This depends on the difficulty of understanding the original document and what the translation is for.
It is very important that your Spanish translator can fully understand the original text. If your text has just a few technical words that the translator can find in a dictionary, then you may not need a specialist. However, many legal or technical documents deal with concepts that are difficult to understand for someone who is not a lawyer, engineer, scientist, etc.
If the translator doesn't understand your text, you are almost guaranteed that he or she will not translate it correctly.
Unless the translation is just for your personal use, you also probably want the proper technical terminology to be used in the final language. Again, ask yourself if this is something that can be accomplished with research and dictionaries, or if you need a specialist. Anyone can look up a couple of technical terms in Italian. But not everyone can write a contract in Spanish the way a lawyer would.
(Do you need a subject area specialist for your English Spanish translations? Find out in this Free English Spanish Translation Guide series.)
"I've translated a lot of contracts, mostly for the media industry because I worked with contracts in that field (I had to negotiate acquisitions in English, Spanish and sometimes French), so I'm familiar with the terminology used in that field. But I wouldn't feel comfortable translating – actually, I've often refused to translate – something to do with a hedge fund and that kind of thing. You really do need someone who knows about finance for that."
- Eva Obregon, English-Spanish Translator
More from Eva in the Free English to Spanish Translation Guide
For highly technical translations, we'd suggest looking for someone who has actually worked or studied in the relevant field -- someone who has a law degree, or who has worked as an engineer, etc. If it is not possible to find someone with this background who is also a translator, then try to have the translation edited by a specialist at the end.
Be careful of translators who list seventeen "areas of specialization." This type of translator is not really a specialist. On the other hand, if the translator is highly specialized in just one area, such as medical translations, that is a good sign that the translator might have significant experience in that area.

Trade minister talks exports
Posted: January 23, 2014|
TRADE minister Lord Livingston visited JCB in Rocester to impart his knowledge of a unique German model for exporting.
The Government trade expert came to the digger giant to promote the Mittelstand approach which he said is the root of Germany's export success.
Lord Livingston said: "German companies have been using this model for a long time and I think it's really important that we take their example in order to build a sustainable business environment where people feel confident to invest in the long term.
"JCB have kindly been our host for today and though the Mittelstand model does not apply to them, I think smaller firms should take JCB as an example of what they can become.
"Mid-sized businesses have the potential to be economic powerhouses for the UK economy, creating jobs and growth for all regions of the UK.
"Their success is dependent on expanding beyond domestic markets so we will be making personal contact with all mid-sized businesses to find out what we can do to help them go up a gear and compete with the best the rest of the world has to offer.
"Businesses excel with the support of UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) and we want to make sure that they are not just trading abroad, but thriving there."
Paul Noon, the UKTI's Regional Director for the West Midlands also attended the event.
He said: "The visit gave Lord Livingston the chance to meet mid-sized companies face-to-face.
"He heard about the huge successes that individual companies are having and some of the challenges faced by others.
"The Mittelstand event will show West Midlands mid-sized firms that they don't need to copy Germany, but we can certainly learn from them, understand their model for training, product development and finance, and cherry pick the elements that are most suitable to our businesses."
Lord Livingston was previously the CEO for the BT Group, and was appointed as the Minister of Trade and Investment in December of last year.
He is a Conservative member of the House of Lords.
Companies interested in learning more about exporting opportunities should contact UKTI at www.ukti.gov.uk/midsizedbusiness

Apple's in a League of Its Own and Samsung Is Riding the Bench
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Samsung
(SSNLF) is dead and Apple
(AAPL) has killed it.
Rob Cira, analyst at Evercore Partners, raised his price target on Apple Wednesday to $115 from $100. Apple shares are at $93.50, up close to 17% for the year to date including 25% gains since Apple reported fiscal second-quarter earnings in April.
In his note he says, "We see Apple creating its own growth through uniquely innovative hardware+software with integrated services vs. a sea of otherwise commodity devices."
It's his reference to "sea of commodity devices" that tells me Apple has finally killed off Samsung. And two years ago, CEO Tim Cook told you exactly how Apple planned to do it.
>>Microsoft Is Losing Market Share It Can't Afford To LoseWith roughly three weeks before Apple reports fiscal third-quarter results, investors waiting for a better entry point will be disappointed. The median price target for these shares are now at $100, suggesting (at least) 7% upside from current levels. This does not even factor the $130 billion Apple expects to return to shareholders by the end of 2015. As Tim Cook promised, Apple is a new company. We learned this in the first few minutes of his keynote at the company's Worldwide Developers Conference last month. Apple's HomeKit, its new home automation platform is the next battleground. Apple's software capabilities and the breadth of its ecosystem will spur "smarthomes" and smart devices as the new growth area. Samsung is nowhere to found. These smart devices will require connectivity. Right now it is a highly fragmented space where several manufacturers have their own proprietary home automation platforms that make it difficult for the hardware to talk to the software. Apple's ecosystem will fix this problem by unifying the standard. Analysts like Chira are now realizing that Samsung is nowhere to found. Recall, when Apple stock began its 44% decline from its pre-split high of $705 to around $388, the was no bigger winner in Apple's punishment than Samsung. In fact, according to the Wall Street Journal, former Samsung America CEO Dale Sohn once wrote in a presentation, "Beating Apple is no longer merely an objective. It is our survival strategy."

How One Hospital Zapped Infection Rates
That practice was ingrained especially in teams that worked with patients undergoing hemodialysis, because it was often tough to find a vein.
"We worked very hard with our phlebotomy team to make sure they knew the best technique to obtain these cultures by venipuncture," Dumigan says. "If the phlebotomists couldn't obtain a blood culture, they would call the IV team to assist them, and this over time eliminated blood cultures taken from catheters."
"Our IV team was able to obtain blood cultures from veins 61% of the time when our phlebotomists couldn't," she says.
Initially, dialysis teams were resistant, Kliger says. "When we said we needed to stop drawing blood from these central lines and only draw from peripheral veins, the physicians and nurses taking care of those patients said, 'No, no. For years we've been using those catheters because our patients don't have any peripheral veins.' They said, 'We're sorry, we're not going to do that.' "
"But we did find that for the vast majority of them, we could preserve our policy and get blood for culture from veins. Eventually, our nephrologists and dialysis nurses changed their minds."
Boyce says that false positives due to contaminations were reduced in subsets of patients from around 2% prior to the venipuncture process switch to 0.5%, an average excess cost saving of about $3,300 per contaminated blood culture, according to previous studies. "We found we could save hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in a hospital our size just by not having as many contaminated blood cultures, so that's a win-win."
Kliger says at last check, the reductions have been sustained, and there have been no CLABSIs at all in recent months. The Saint Raphael Campus is now working with Yale New Haven Hospital to help it change practices there as well, Kliger says.
The process changes were all great, Kliger says, but he says that what really made the difference wasn't adding steps to the bundles or some other tricks that they employed.
"We were successful because we changed the culture."

Cipro I.V.
What is Cipro I.V.?
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic in a group of drugs called fluoroquinolones (flor-o-KWIN-o-lones). Ciprofloxacin fights bacteria in the body.
Ciprofloxacin is used to treat different types of bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin is also used to treat people who have been exposed to anthrax.
Ciprofloxacin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
In This Section:
What is the most important information I should know about Cipro I.V. (Ciprofloxacin)?
You should not use this medicine if you are also taking tizanidine.
You may not be able to use ciprofloxacin if you have a muscle disorder. Tell your doctor if you have a history of myasthenia gravis.
Ciprofloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. This effect may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you use steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant.
Call your doctor at once if you have sudden pain, swelling, bruising, tenderness, stiffness, or movement problems in any of your joints. Rest the joint until you receive medical care or instructions.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking Cipro I.V. (Ciprofloxacin)?

Ciprofloxacin may cause swelling or tearing of a tendon (the fiber that connects bones to muscles in the body), especially in the Achilles' tendon of the heel. This can happen during treatment or up to several months after you stop using ciprofloxacin. Tendon problems may be more likely to occur if you are over 60, if you use steroid medication, or if you have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether ciprofloxacin will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medicine.
Ciprofloxacin can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.
Do not give this medicine to anyone under 18 years old without medical advice.

Rush Enterprises, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Results And Intent To Acquire Additional Dealerships In Kansas, Missouri And Virginia
- Parts, service and body shop revenues remain strong
- Second quarter absorption ratio of 114.9%
- Company continues to execute network growth strategy
- Cash position remains strong at $204 million
SAN ANTONIO, July 23, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rush Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq:RUSHA) (Nasdaq:RUSHB), which operates the largest network of commercial vehicle dealerships in North America, today announced that for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company's net income was $5.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared with net income of $17.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, in the quarter ended June 30, 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a pre-tax charge of $10.8 million in its selling, general and administrative expense related to the Retirement and Transition Agreement with W. Marvin Rush. This charge resulted in a reduction of $6.6 million in net income, or $0.16 per diluted share during the second quarter.
"A lackluster new truck sales environment and increased overhead related to substantial investments made to support the continued growth of our organization made this a tough quarter," said W. M. "Rusty" Rush, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Rush Enterprises, Inc.

Tips for Dining Out Safely with Food Allergies
If you or your child has food allergies, you know how difficult it is avoiding allergens while eating out. In recent years, awareness in restaurants and employee training has been improving, but dining out will always remain nerve-wracking for those with food allergies. With careful planning, however, it is possible to truly enjoy a meal at a restaurant.
Increasing your safety while dining out begins at home. The first step is to know what menu items to avoid. Do research to find out where hidden ingredients lurk. It isn't obvious, for example, that Caesar dressing includes anchovies or that licorice candy contains wheat. A restaurant employee with the best intentions may inadvertently serve a food containing an allergen. This is why it is important for you to be well informed about foods that may cause an allergy for you or your child.

Back to School with Diabetes: Preparations for Safety
For parents with a child living with diabetes, back to school time can be stressful because it means handing responsibility for the child's diabetes management to school staff. However, this time need not be so stressful for parents. There are a number of ways that parents can help to assure their child's safety at school.
The most important step is to gather the necessary information needed by the school staff for them to properly manage the child's individual diabetes needs. The American Diabetes Association offers a Diabetes Medical Management Plan (DMMP) document to be filled out by the student's personal diabetes healthcare team, which includes parents. The plan would be given to relevant school personnel, such as the school nurse, to review and keep in their records.
Preventing Slip and Fall Accidents at Home
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), emergency departments treated 2.2 million nonfatal fall injuries among older adults in 2009.
The CDC also reports that falls are the leading cause of non-fatal injuries for all children through age 19. Every day, approximately 8,000 children are treated in U.S. emergency rooms for fall-related injuries, almost 2.8 million children each year.
The danger of having a fall accident is a reminder of the importance of wearing a medical alert bracelet or medical alert necklace. Wearing medical ID jewelry will inform medical personnel of your health condition, medications, emergency contacts, and other important information.
There are a number of ways to reduce the likelihood of a fall accident occurring at home.

i hope this one is better thn 2006 .... looking forward for it!Sponsored Links
I just deleted the pad and update-files and nba movies. But how can I relink movies ???:??Sponsored Links
I also hope its better then FIFA 06 for PSP )^ was alright but the not comparable to the PS2 versionSponsored Links
Has anyone gotten this game to work over Usb ?
My results are. it works great off of the Ms. but when I try to do it through USB, the game boots and the menus are all there but as soon as I select anything as to play it the music all of a sudden freaks out and the game locks up.
ea has given us another great hit... compared with 06.. i like it..
Is there a rip for this game so that the commentary isnt taken out?
ok so i have always been a fifa fan but i heard pro evolution soccer was a very realistic game some even said better than fifa. i was wondering if anyone who has played both could just post the differences between the two or just the strengths and weaknesses of each game. i am getting fifa 07 as I speak but i would liketo know if it is worth trying out pro evolution 07
Very nice game. More difficult to win the ball back from opponent.

It seems to be turning into a bad week for those that believe technology is solely a force for good. Firstly, the UK government has rushed through new legislation that means that ISPs and telecoms companies have to store metadata on email and phone communications (though not their actual content). The aim of the new law is to fight crime and protect the country against terrorism, according to the Prime Minister.
And over in the US, there's a growing backlash against so-called JerkTech applications. For those that have missed the debate, these are applications that let people sell on resources at above the market rate that they've paid. For example, Monkey Parking enables drivers who are parked in public streets to auction off their space, while ReservationHop makes reservations at hard to book restaurants under false names and then sells them on.
The key point about these apps, and those like them, is that they corner the market in publically available resources (whether parking spaces or restaurant tables) and then charge people for the privilege of using them. While this is neat in economic terms – you are taking something that is underpriced and selling it at the market rate, they remove the ability for anyone to chance upon a parking space or get that hot table. And the actual provider of the resource (City council or restaurateur) doesn't get any benefit at all. Indeed, if ReservationHop fails to sell a booking the restaurant will have an empty table that it could have filled in other ways. Hence, the JerkTech name, as coined by Josh Constine of Tech Crunch.
The best technology is disruptive – but that does come with risks and potentially even responsibilities. In the same way that scientists and medical researchers are governed by ethical standards, just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. This particularly applies to ways of using technology to manipulate people (without their consent). There's been a huge furore about a Facebook experiment where users were served a preponderance of either happy or sad content in their newsfeed – the result of this manipulation was that they posted either more positively or negatively themselves.
We live at an exciting time for technology. We're moving beyond the original web, to a more mobile, wearable and all-encompassing version, with the Internet of Things allowing previously dumb machines to communicate in real-time in order to improve our lives. The danger is that the sheer pace of change will overwhelm everyone except for early adopters, and consequently new innovation will either be banned or will simply not be used by those that it could benefit. Genuine advances (and I don't mean parking apps or social networks) will be lost, and there is a potential that geeks will join bankers in the category of 'most hated profession'.
I think everyone in the tech community needs to think about four questions before they launch (or market) new innovations if they want them to flourish.
It may seem odd for tech start-ups and developers to look beyond the coolness of their technology (or the possibility of selling it for millions later in its development). However, in a world dominated by social media, the consequences of being a jerk can be fatal to your company's success, no matter how innovative your product. So think first – and run it past a senior citizen just to be sure.

Protest voting: Nothing new
Photo: Paul Lachine, NewsArt
If Tuesday's vote produces the predicted seismic shift in political power, it will merely be a typical election for our atypical times.
What makes our era so turbulent? I have guilty suspicions.
We are mainly in our 50s and 60s now, you see, as prominent as we'll ever be. Veterans in our careers and still vast in our numbers, we wield a ponderous influence today in politics and the media, business and the arts.
It's no wonder America is in turmoil.
We, of course, are baby boomers -- the generation of Americans shaped, maybe warped, by the agitated Vietnam War era, which we helped stir up.
Our gift for agitation, if little else, remains undiminished by the years.
Rushing toward the climax of yet another convulsive election, many Americans wonder why politics has grown so polarized and ill-tempered, self-righteous and apocalyptic.
Sorry. It's just our style.
In our youth, America's college campuses exploded. Quieter excesses of careerism and acquisitiveness followed, and for decades phrasemakers labored to express and exploit the prideful zest we brought to materialistic pursuits (the "Me Decade," "You Can Have it All"). As we reached the top of the economic hierarchy, the U.S. economy quite naturally shuddered and imploded.
And all the while, as we've poured in our scores of millions into the ranks of voters and expanded our clout as pundits (Limbaugh, Olbermann, Krugman, O'Reilly -- boomers all, to name just a few) and as political poobahs (Rove, Axelrod -- ditto), the extravagance and emotionalism of American public life have increased.
Do I exaggerate our importance? Do I oversimplify complex influences on our era? Sure. That's our style, too. But be forewarned:
Twenty years from now, America's nursing homes could be in flames.
Whatever the cause, something has changed in American politics. Bitterness is really nothing new; frequent seismic shifts are.
Until the late 1960s, the American political experience was characterized by long stretches, decades on end, of significant dominance for one political party and philosophy or another. First came the Jeffersonian-Jacksonian agrarians (1800-1860), then the post-Civil War Republican capitalists (1860-1932), then the New Deal Democrat interventionists (1932-1968).
Since then, by contrast, we've seen one upheaval and abrupt course reversal after another -- the Vietnam backlash, Watergate, the Reagan Revolution, the Clintonian New Democrat revival, Bush and his neocons, Obamania.
Will Tuesday add the Tea Party takeover to this list? If so, don't bet everything you have left on how long the new realignment will last.
In short, contemporary America may be angrily divided simply because it's so closely divided. The score is tight, the lead keeps changing, emotions run high. In eras when one party clearly has won the electorate's hearts and minds, the opposition has every incentive to play nice and tone down its complaints to remain relevant and occasionally get listened to. When every election is winnable, the incentive is to go for broke -- and for the jugular.
This is a genuine problem for a people needing to face hard decisions, a people who for too long have spent and cut taxes and made promises as if they really could have it all it. Program cuts and tax hikes that will pinch everybody surely lie ahead. They would be easier to achieve before real crisis looms if one side or the other could win the political ping-pong match that has kept the country dizzy for decades.
Actual political consensus -- or at least electoral dominance for somebody -- may be especially needed to accomplish painful work in our country. America's constitutional decentralization and maze of checks and balances were designed to prevent "tyranny of the majority." They all but prevent government by the majority when that majority is narrow and the necessary choices are unpleasant.
Europe's sudden dive into fiscal austerity in recent months -- whether wise or foolish -- reflects in part governmental systems that give majority parties and even coalition governments in the old world more freedom to enact swift and sweeping change. Slashing public retirement benefits may not be what American liberals have had in mind when they've habitually praised the decisive European model and lamented American gridlock -- but the difference is real enough.
It isn't easy to foresee either of America's political tribes soon winning a durable mandate (although each, to be sure, foresees it constantly) -- at least not the kind of mandate that would survive a dry-eyed policy of shared sacrifice. The recipe for political victory too often involves roasting scapegoats with a dash of pain-free panacea.
Here in Minnesota, if the polls can be trusted, Democrat Mark Dayton stands a fair chance of becoming a bright spot for his party Tuesday. If so, he will have done it with a brilliantly simple, three-word platform -- "tax the rich" -- that answered "no-new-taxes" and caught in progressive sails this year's swirling winds of resentment for the powerful.
Dayton has made this look so easy that as a matter of pure political strategy one wonders why national Democrats don't work the class conflict issue harder. They sound that theme, of course, but somehow Democrats in Washington always seem to pull their punches and change the subject in the end. Maybe they don't really believe in it.
And maybe we can hope that Dayton doesn't really believe in it, either -- doesn't believe, that is, that "tax-the-rich" constitutes a whole plan or expresses the whole spirit that will be needed to face up to Minnesota's and America's challenges.
Whatever happens, don't count on the next few years being smooth sailing.
Dayton (like opponents Tom Emmer and Tom Horner) is a boomer.

include a sql queries file?
Hi all,
Im a wondering...
if a store all my queries in a seperate file...and name them with logical variable names...such as...
PHP Code:
$sql_select_all = "SELECT * FROM table";
if i was to save that in a separate file, then include it...does that include (load the entire file in to the server memory) even if it does not use all the queries on any given page load...
i guess what i mean is, is there a way to reference that include, without loading the entire thing, and only picking out (loading) the queries i need.
what im trying to do is keep my queries out of my normal code...sorta like a stored procedure, but my hosting db is only 4.1.x
i hope this makes sense.
Thanks, Justin

Yes it would load them all to memory, I'm not sure how functions work though, you could try that.

Yes, functions would be parsed as you include them and they would reside in memory during the script's execution.
If you really want/need this, you could create a function like this.
The function would obviously be parsed on compile, but no global variables are created, so you don't waste the global variable space.PHP Code:
function getQuery($name) {
switch ($name) {
case 'select_all':
return 'SELECT * FROM table';
return '';
I'm not sure if this is the best method though.
I prefer to seperate business logic and presentation only. I have my queries in my business logic still, as they are tightly linked. There are probably better methods out there though, you just have to find them.

I don't really think keeping all the queries together serves any purpose, other than making your code harder to follow. If you've got queries that are long, then you're going to struggle to come up with useful enough variable names that aren't as long as the query itself ($query_to_select_all_the_people_with_a_birthday_this_week anyone?)
Keeping your SQL (and other logic) away from your html; and keeping the raw SQL away from the more generic logic is a good idea, but grouping together unrelated things, just because they are all queries seems pointless.
What would you do with queries that rely on user input for a criteria? You could use sprintf with placeholders, but then you need to remember (or lookup) what order the placeholders are in. And which queries even have placeholders?

PHP Code:
//On my current page...
$name = 'Justin';
//On my sql queries page...
$qry_SelectUserByName = 'SELECT user_name FROM tbl_users WHERE user_name = $name';
also, for the naming of the query, it would not be to long,...
such as, a query that selects top 10 specific fields (i dont use star, only return useless data at the point of execution), from a table, then joins two other tables onto it...could be $qry_SelectTop10Posts...
THanks, Justin

The Hostess
By day, Stefanie Schiada, 34, works a corporate job. By night, she blogs on www.BrooklynLimestone.com about her passion: DIY projects that show off her considerable creativity. The real showstopper? The annual Halloween party she throws at the Brooklyn, New York, townhouse she shares with husband Luke. I love doing itas people get older, there are fewer occasions to have a frivolous event, says Stefanie, who starts brainstorming ideas in June (themes have included Dangerthink skeletons scaling the houseand Carnival Sideshow) and decorating four weeks in advance. Once the guests arrive, I just let go and enjoy myself.

He might hang on my wall, but this will always be Grandpa's buck.
Story and Photos by Danny Senic
The 1976 Virginia firearms season was soon to open and, for the first time, Grandpa wasn't going hunting with us. He was dying of black lung disease. Grandpa had worked in the coal mines for years, but now they were working on him.
Grandpa had been an avid hunter for as long as I could remember. He had taken 39 deer, several of them nice bucks. While most hunters in our area were considered lucky to just see a deer, Grandpa was harvesting them. He passed that how-to knowledge on to my dad and me.
About six weeks before opening day, Dad and I went to scout an area that we had been hunting for about five years. Imagine the shock we felt when we arrived at the farm only to have the landowner say we couldn't hunt his property any longer. It seems that one of our former hunting buddies had told him of Grandpa's illness and had also added several untruths (I'm trying to be nice) about how my dad and I were coping with it.
Since we supposedly had started drinking excessively and were not the same reliable people we had been in the past, we were denied our place to hunt. The fact is our "buddy" secured a lease on the property the same day he told his story. Opening day was six weeks away, and we didn't have a clue where we would be hunting.
We spent the next three weekends going everywhere from the Dismal section of Giles County to three different areas of the Jefferson National Forest in Bland, Wythe and Pulaski counties. The good news is we saw some beautiful country. The bad news is we saw very little sign.
Opening day was now just two weeks away, and our situation wasn't any better. We decided to go back to the Little Walker section of Bland County and find another farm to hunt.
Prayer No. 1
We said a prayer that morning as we headed out. Our first stop was the Little Creek Country Store. The lady who ran the store told Dad we should talk to Jasper Davis, a local mail carrier who also had a nice farm.
When we pulled into the driveway, Mr. Davis came out to meet us. Dad explained our situation and asked if we could hunt. I will never forget Mr. Davis' answer. "I usually don't let anyone hunt on my farm who I don't know," he began. Then he paused … and concluded, "But I have a good feeling about you fellas, and I'm going to let you hunt." Prayer number one was answered; things were looking up.
So on Nov. 14, 1976, we headed to deer camp. Grandpa wasn't there in person, but we carried his love, his blessings and his knowledge with us. Our hunting party included Joe Senic (my dad), Uncle James Marrs, Tommy Daddysman and me. This was the first time in years that there was snow on the ground on opening day. That definitely favored us since we would be going to a new area with just two days to scout. The 8 inches would give us the best opportunity to find fresh sign. What more could we ask for?
Not much was said the first 20 or 30 minutes we were on the road. I think everyone was doing the same thing that I was. I spent those first few minutes thinking about Grandpa, reliving our previous hunts, and praying for God to watch over him while we were gone. Two and a half hours and some great conversation later, we stopped in front of the gate that led to our campsite. Since I was the designated gate opener (that much hadn't changed), I jumped out of the truck and with the professionalism that is developed through years of experience, swung the gate open.
Unfortunately, the truck rolled onto a soft spot and sank in the snow and mud clean up to the axle. We did everything we could to get the truck out, but it was not to be. Finally, we heard someone say, "You fellas look like you could use some help." It was Mr. Davis and his son, Jasper Jr.
"We sure could," my dad answered. Jasper Jr. used a tractor to pull us out. We were very grateful and offered to pay for their help. Of course, they refused and said that all of the pay they needed was for us to have a safe and successful hunt. Dad thanked them again, and we drove the last 30 yards to our campsite. By the time we set up, the day was pretty much shot for scouting. We fixed supper, ate, played some cards and attempted to put together some strategy for the next day of scouting.
I awoke Sunday morning to the smell of bacon, eggs and coffee. After a hearty breakfast and a short devotional, we were off to the woods. There were tracks, trails, rubs and scrapes no farther than 10 yards inside the woods. There was also a mountain laurel thicket about 15 yards farther in, and since we had never been in this section of woods, we decided to hunt it.
Going through that thicket wasn't just a job; it was an adventure. The laurel was so thick that we literally had to crawl in places. If that wasn't bad enough, there were boulders as big as mobile homes. But we continued to see buck sign, and the farther up the mountain we went, the more we saw. After about an hour of climbing, we finally broke out of the laurel and into a beautiful section of hardwoods. We hadn't gone 20 feet when Dad said, "Danny, come over here."
I couldn't believe my eyes. There was a scrape as big as the hood of a truck, and right beside it was the imprint of a doe in the snow.
We decided to split up into two groups. Uncle James and Tommy would scout east of the scrape and Dad and I would head west. We would meet back at the scrape in two hours. This became the easiest scouting that we had ever done. Big rubs were everywhere, and a couple of 3-inch pine saplings had been completely mutilated.
Not only were there rubs, but scrapes also were scattered about 30 to 50 yards apart. When Dad and I reached the crest of the ridge, we noticed an old split rail fence that went down the other side of the mountain. It ran between a pine thicket and a nice section of hardwoods thick with ivy. This is where Dad made his stand. Mine was about 100 yards above where we first came out of the thicket.
We met James and Tommy and headed back to camp. They had also found plenty of sign. We knew that there was a big buck using this area. Little did we know just how big, but by this time the next day we would all be standing in awe and amazement of the great deer.
'Let Me Get One for Grandpa'
The alarm began ringing at 4 a.m., but I was already awake. We got up and began dressing and packing. Using an old logging road would make the hike into our stands longer, but the walking would be easier and quieter. We had no more than started up the road when I began feeling sick. I told Dad, Tommy and James to go on and that I would be right behind them. After about 15 minutes, I started feeling better and continued on up the mountain.
I jumped deer on my way in but still felt confident that this would be a good morning. It was 6:55 when I got to my stand and daylight was beginning to break. As I stood there catching my breath, Grandpa came to mind. At that moment, I knelt down in the snow and prayed a simple prayer: "God, if I never kill another buck, please let me get one for Grandpa." Even though I had been deer hunting since I was 14 years old, I had yet to take a buck. I wiped away a tear, sat down and waited.
The wait would not be long. At 7:15, I turned my head to the left and all I could see was antler. The buck was about 100 yards away and closing fast. He stopped to smell the air, put his nose to the ground and continued to walk toward me. When he was about 45 yards away, he turned slightly to the left. I raised my rifle but found myself shaking with excitement. I focused on the buck's body, raised my rifle again and fired.
The tremendous buck jumped straight up, took off like a jet, stumbled at about 60 yards and then crashed 80 yards from my stand. I began to cry tears of joy because of how big he truly was and also tears of sadness because Grandpa wasn't there to enjoy this special moment with me. I pulled myself together, knelt down, picked up the massive rack and said, "Thank you, God, for answering my prayer and for letting Dad be here to celebrate with me."
I was 20 years old with the kind of buck that most people hunt for a lifetime and never see. Since then I have been fortunate to have taken several nice bucks, but it doesn't matter. None of them will be as special as the buck God gave me for Grandpa Senic. He passed away Feb. 2, 1977, so proud of my accomplishment. I still carry his spirit and memory with me year after year.
I have been blessed with two healthy grandsons. I pray I have the privilege to pass along the hunting tradition to them and that I will do as good for them as Grandpa did for me. Thank you, Grandpa, for everything.
I thought I'd taken the buck of a lifetime. Unfortunately, the Boone and Crockett Club didn't see it that way. As a non-typical in 1977, the rack failed to make the book because of deductions. In 1979, Boone and Crocket decided it could be scored as a typical, but the results were the same. Again, deductions shut it out of the record book. I was told that if the rack had carried 11 points instead of 18, it would have made the book.
It was almost 30 years later at the 2005 Buckmasters Expo in Greensboro, N.C., that justice finally prevailed. My buck qualified for "Buckmasters Whitetail Trophy Records" with an official score of 168 4/8 Semi-irregular. It was both a relief and a breath of fresh air to finally see an organization use a measuring system that credits the buck with every inch of antler God allows it to grow.

All we really want is the best and trusted advice for raising our kids. We want a scientifically vetted grandmother—a kind of Digital Dear Abby who can tell us the latest findings about what is good for our children and who can interpret them in a way that makes sense in our living rooms and local parks. But alas, there is nowhere to turn for this information. Instead there are thousands of recipes for how to make a better cupcake and what activities you can take to the park and even wonderful anecdotes by one of our colleagues who writes about "No where to go and all day to get there."

If I showed up late on my job without letting anyone know, I would be fired!! This is standard in any workplace..maybe Mr. Berger dosent see his position as a job but as a favor he is doing for the community which if he does, then he needs to go..Im glad I didnt vote for his nutty behind! Its clear his only agenda is to sensationalize his name in the media with these antics..
