Serge Vorobyov makes it rain money once again, this time at State Fair [VIDEO]
Serge's stunt coincided with the busiest day in the fair's history.
Serge "The Car Hauler" Vorobyov first gained notoriety last holiday season thanks to a viral video showing him tossing $1,000 in one dollar bills around the Mall of America's rotunda.
The month or so that followed was a dramatic one for Serge, with relationship strife, half-baked ideas to recapture the magic of the Black Friday stunt, and finally, a trip to jail. But now, Serge is back up to his tried and true trick -- tossing dollar bills around like it ain't no thing.

Around 6 p.m. on Saturday, Serge again tossed $1,000, this time from the State Fair Skyride. He also upped the stakes by including two $100 bills along with 800 ones.
Here's the video:
We talked to Serge to learn more about his motivation for making it rain money once again.
"It was good fun," he tells us. "It was a good way to end the summer and that was kinda my thing. It's a little surprise when you get something fun and pleasant."
At the Mall of America, each dollar bill Serge threw was emblazoned with this message: "Serge the Car Haul Loves Olivia." It didn't entirely accomplish its desired result -- though Serge says he and his ex-wife (Olivia) are now on good terms, they didn't get back together.
This time, Serge went with something simpler. He tells us each bill he tossed at the State Fair said, "Have Fun at the State Fair from Serge The Car Hauler."
In general, Serge says he's in a better place now than he was last winter.
"I want people to know that I went through a setback," Serge says. "I told the [media] after Black Friday that was my last $1,000 and I was hoping good karma was coming back. Well, I've had several job offers, I'm doing all right for this year, and it's going toward my 'American Dream,' or rebuilding it."
Serge says that while he's "working for the man saving up money" right now, he hopes to reopen his car hauling business, perhaps as soon as next month. In the meantime, he's already dreaming up his next stunt.
"Maybe the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City," Serge says. "I've always wanted to see that parade and I think I'll definitely have another $1,000 to throw myself."
If you're interested in helping fund Serge's next money toss, he's set up a GoFundMe page here.
Asked whether literally throwing $1,000 away when he's trying to get his business back up and running is stressful, Serge says, "Your mind is really against you, but you really have to do stuff like this to know you will be okay in the future, and it changes your mind back to that whole abundance thing -- we're truly blessed to be here."
"Maybe somebody had a sad day and now they're having as much fun as I did," he adds.

Villa 0-0 Parma match report: Goalless in final friendly
Villa completed their pre-season friendly schedule with a goalless draw against Serie A club Parma at Villa Park.
In a game of few clear-cut chances, sub Darren Bent was desperately close to a last-gasp winner with a powerful shot which thudded against the bar.
And manager Paul Lambert was able to assess the majority of his players on home soil before the Barclays Premier League gets under way at Stoke next Saturday.
The manager utilised 10 of his outfield substitutes, with only keeper Brad Guzan both starting and ending the game.
There was also a return to action for skipper Ron Vlaar for the first time since he helped helping Holland to victory over Brazil in the World Cup third place game.
After a gentle start, the visitors produced the first goal attempt when Raffaele Palladino's ninth-minute shot was saved comfortably by Guzan.
But Andi Weimann almost opened the scoring three minutes later when his powerful rising drive from the edge of the penalty area was tipped away for a corner by Antonio Mirante.
Philippe Senderos thought he had made the breakthrough on 15 minutes, the Swiss defender stooping to nod in a free-kick from Kieran Richardson, but a linesman's flag was already raised for offside.
Nathan Baker's crunching tackle on Palladino earned the centre-back a booking, Jonathan Biabiany heading the resulting free-kick not far overbefore testing Guzan with a firm drive which the keeper did well to hold at his near post.
Then Palladino fired into the side netting, and for a while Villa provided little threat, although Charles N'Zogbia's 41st-minute effort spiralled away for a corner following a block tackle.
Five minutes after the break, Alan Hutton's persistence on the byeline enabled N'Zogbia to set up Weimann for a shot that was blocked, while Ishak Belfodil's effort at the other end was deflected for a corner.
In Villa's next attack, Weimann's header from an Enda Stevens cross was clutched by Mirante, before Richardson's half-volley on the hour mark was only just too high.
Villa looked certain to go ahead in the 78th minute.
Despite being fouled, Hutton produced a fine pass which sent Gabby Agbonlahor racing down the right.
The striker tried to set up Fabian Delph, who was unmarked in front of goal, only for Paletta to slide in and divert the ball for a corner.
Agbonlahor then miskicked following Joe Bennett's low cross, while Delph sent a low drive wide and Karim El Ahmadi's dipping drive wasn't far off target.
And as the game went into stoppage time, Bent's thundering angled drive crashed against the bar after he had been set up by Jack Grealish.
Villa: Guzan; Hutton (Lowton 83), Senderos (Bent 64), Baker (Vlaar HT), Stevens (Bennett 75); N'Zogbia (Bacuna 75), Westwood (Herd 83), Delph, Richardson (Grealish 64); Weimann (Okore 64), Agbonlahor (El Ahmadi 83).
Parma: Mirante (Iacobucci 74); Ristovsky, Paletta, Lucarelli, Cassani (Bidaoui 74); Acquah, Mauri, Jorquera; Biabiany, Palladino (Amauri 60), Belfodil (Mendes 74).

9 Symptoms of Appendicitis
Vomiting, nausea, or loss of appetite
"You won't have projectile vomiting," Dr. Payne says. "It's not like The Exorcist."
You may, however, have a couple days where your appetite is low with some mild nausea and vomiting, similar to what you might have with a stomach bug. If it improves after a day or so, you're probably fine.
But if it continues to get worseparticularly if you also have a fever and lower-right abdominal painDr. Payne says to seek medical attention. If you have been vomiting for more than 12 hours, or have had diarrhea for more than a couple days, you should call your doctor.

Eve Theatre Company, known for its breakout production Love, Loss and What I Wore and sophomore season opener Motherhood Out Loud , is set to present Three Viewings, a series of monologues set in a Midwestern funeral parlor.
While the setting may seem a bit morbid, the play is anything but, as the three characters tell their comic and dramatic stories, which eventually intertwine with each other.
"The challenge here is to create fully realized people at some very tough moments in their lives," says the play's director Nancy Hoover, "when the only point of view you are getting is their own. This is where good writing comes in and the playwright has given us very rich context and a wonderful cast of characters that we never actually meet."
The three actors in the play, Susan McNeese Lynch, Kim Butterweck and Roger Fristoe are all local theatre veterans who have been seen in numerous productions throughout the city.
Three Viewings will be performed at the new Vault 1031 Theatre on Sixth Street. The show opens this Thursday, March 6 and runs through March 15. Tickets are $22/$19 and can be purchased by calling 502-759-1912.

Indianapolis, Ind. - Butler Athletics and the Butler University College of Education will be hosting the second annual Outback Steakhouse Readers Day on Jan. 24, prior to the men's basketball game against Milwaukee at 2 p.m.
Readers Day is a part of Bookin' with the Bulldogs, an reading incentive program coordinated by the College of Education and Butler Athletics. This year, more than 1,000 students from 19 schools and youth organizations in Marion and Hamilton counties are participating in the program. Designed for kindergarten through eighth grade, the program provides complimentary Joey meals at Central Indiana Outback Steakhouse locations and a free ticket to any Butler athletic event to all students who successfully reach their reading goals.
Readers Day activities begin at 12:45 with the pre-game education fair in the West Gym. The fair will feature poster-making, read-alouds from Butler student-athletes, face-painting and activity stations from Irwin Library, WFYI, event sponsor Outback Steakhouse and more. Entrance to the fair is included with the purchase of a game ticket.
Fans can receive a $5 per ticket discount with the donation of a new or gently-used children's book for the Jukes Foundation for Kids, a non-profit organization founded by Butler forward Avery Jukes. All books will be donated to the Building Tomorrow Academy of Kiyamba, a village school located in the Kiboga district of Uganda, roughly 55 miles from the capital city of Kampala. Jukes helped build the school while on a mission trip with the Ambassadors for Children organization during the summer of 2008.
For more information on Readers Day, please contact Lindsay Martin, manager of sports marketing and promotions at 940-9468. For ticket information, visit www.butlersports.com or call 940-DOGS.

Kotaku- The game certainly looks like a movie. There's never an on-screen interface. You poke around the environment, pick stuff up, move things around. You point the flashlight, maybe shoot a gun if you find one. The stories you'll play branch and intersect.
It's strange to encounter something so familiar, something so prominently part of pop culture and my own youth but that seemed to go away, only to see it back. This homage feels strangely fresh and designed to push all the buttons those old horror movies of my youth did... except this time, of course, we'll be pushing the buttons.

Under the Dome – Recap: The First Rule of Fight Club
Recap and review of Under the Dome – Season 1 Episode 10 – Let the Games Begin:
Well, this was a marked improvement over last week, on both the character front and in the continued exploration of the show's mythology. Under the Dome has to walk a tenuous balance as a genre show, making certain not to make the entire series all about its central mystery, yet not giving that mystery short shrift in favor of character stories that don't always land. "Let the Games Begin" is a strong episode throughout, finding a way to keep the balance in check between genre show and character study.
This week's episode focuses on a quartet of conflicts that overlap in fairly compelling fashion. In the first, Barbie (Mike Vogel) is tasked with accompanying Maxine (Natalie Zea) on her rounds about town, including visiting the "adult entertainment" club she's created inside the old cement factory. There, patrons trade valuable commodities (like salt, for instance) for access, and once inside they can enjoy liquor and bare-knuckle boxing to their heart's content. Maxine sees this as her ticket to living the Queenly life while in the dome, but Barbie sees her methods as barbaric and refuses to allow her to win. Of course, Barbie doesn't really have the upper hand, as Maxine continues to blackmail him with the threat of revealing to Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) the little tidbit about how he killed her husband, Peter. So Barbie reluctantly steps into the ring when Maxine books him against a former acquaintance whom Barbie had shaken down for money in his days as an enforcer. The man has lost his family, his home and all his money, and he's out for blood. Barbie's blood. And Barbie is all too happy to oblige him.
Thinking that Maxine has bet on him, Barbie throws the fight and allows his opponent to beat the tar out of him as a way of screwing her over. But as Maxine reveals after the fight, it was all for nothing: she bet against Barbie and made a killing, because she knew he would throw the fight. She also recognized that everyone else would be too blinded by Barbie's past as a special forces veteran to bet against him. Everyone loses their ass on the fight while Maxine makes a fortune. Barbie is bitter about the loss, but despite Maxine's best attempts to comfort him — with promises that, together, they could run this town — he rejects her outright. Barbie tells Maxine that she'll have to get used to not getting what she wants, and even asks what she'll do once she realizes she can't have the town, or him. "I'll burn this place to the ground," she responds, and Natalie Zea deserves all the credit in the world for making this line as bone-chilling as it sounded, even if she tends to grate on me as a villain. But Barbie thankfully makes Maxine a little more bearable by removing her one trump card from the equation. Yes, we'll no longer have to listen to her threaten to reveal Barbie's secret to Julia because he decides to preempt her by revealing it himself. Yet, as we learn, Julia has already put two-and-two together…
While investigating Duke's involvement in the drug trade in Chester's Mill, Linda (Natalie Martinez) discovers a written confession from her former mentor that implicates himself, Maxine, Reverend Coggins, and Big Jim Rennie (Dean Norris) in the crime ring. Linda is initially disappointed, but her feelings are inevitably softened once Julia helps her realize that Duke was doing all of this out of what he perceived to be the good of the town, recognizing that by going along with the plan, he had a chance to keep drugs out of Chester's Mill altogether. Linda realizes that Duke loved her, and that he was only trying to protect her, a recognition that prompts Julia to suspect that maybe Peter had similarly noble intentions. She looks up his safety deposit box at the local bank and discovers the truth: a lucrative life insurance policy. The wheels begin turning in Julia's head, and she rushes home to discover Peter's gun missing, yet all of the bullets remaining in the case. She deduces that Peter committed suicide-by-Barbie, getting the ex-special forces veteran to kill him so Julia could still receive the life insurance benefits. However, the story takes a peculiar turns when Barbie confesses this to Julia and she doesn't seem angry. She's clearly hurt, but she understands that Peter goaded Barbie into killing him. I was every bit as dumbfounded as Barbie when Julia talked about how there can be no more secrets between them "in the future," implying that they do, in fact, have a future together. It's an incredibly awkward development that doesn't entirely work, although I'm kind of thankful for it, just the same. It spared us weeks of Barbie and Julia being on the outs, with the two coming to realize that despite the differences between them, there's still something there. It's a new take on a standard storyline, and I appreciated the change.
Another change I liked was Big Jim subverting the "all-knowing, ahead of the curve villain" trope. When he goes to visit with a woman named Agatha (Mare Winningham), she gets the drop on him and reveals herself to be Claire, Maxine's mother. She's been bitter over how she was shunned in Chester's Mill after becoming pregnant with Maxine at age 16. She holds Big Jim at gunpoint, disabusing him of the notion that Maxine learned her treacherous ways from her father. Winningham and Norris are both great in the scenes they share together, but I was about ready to roll my eyes once the series introduced yet another villain who is three steps ahead of the other characters, to an obnoxious degree. Yet the episode immediately subverts that trope as quickly as they introduce it. Big Jim basically calls Claire's bluff, recognizing that she doesn't have what it takes to shoot someone. He easily snatches the rifle out of her hands and then takes her prisoner. I could have done without another hostage scenario, but it made sense here, since Big Jim seemed intent on using Claire as a bargaining chip with Maxine. Of course, the story once again subverts expectations by never even getting to that point: while Big Jim is taking her back to the mainland on his boat, Claire falls into the lake. With her hands having been tied by Big Jim, Claire is unable to swim, so Big Jim circles the boat around to pick her up. But once he gets there, he makes the startling decision not to help her into the boat. He simply drives away while Claire screams for help, having been left to drown in the middle of a sunny lake. It's one of the darker turns for Big Jim yet, but it fits entirely within his characters, as we see him get farther and farther away from even the remotest shred of goodness.
But while those stories offer insight into the changes and dynamics among the various characters, only one story offers insight into the mystery surrounding the dome. Luckily, the storyline manages to be tightly focused and pretty interesting this week. Dodee's (Jolene Purdy) suspicion of Joe (Colin Ford) and Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz) leads her to spy on the pair, tracking them down to the barn where they've hidden the mini-dome, inside which they've discovered a caterpillar which Joe says will eventually become a monarch butterfly. Dodee sneaks inside and touches the mini-dome and is immediately blasted back with a jolt of electricity. She's rendered unconscious, but Angie (Britt Robertson) and the others are able to get her to the hospital just in time. Dodee doesn't remember what happened, so Joe offers up the lie that they found her outside the radio station next to the power generator, rationalizing that she must have electrocuted herself upon touching it. While that solves the Dodee problem (for now), their issues regarding the "fourth hand" only grow more complicated, as a comment from one of the hospital doctors prompts Angie to realize that the "fourth hand" they're looking for is Junior (Alex Koch).
It turns out that Junior once got a seizure at a tenth grade dance, and this evidence, coupled with the painting Junior's mother made before her death, cause Angie to become convinced that they're all connected. However, Joe doesn't want anything to do with Junior after discovering that the psychopath locked up his sister in a cellar for four days, which Angie finally reveals to her brother. Naturally, Joe's hot-headedness leads him to a confrontation with Junior that quickly escalates into violence once he discovers them going through his mother's paintings. But Angie is able to break things up by telling Junior she agrees with him: they're all connected to something huge, something wonderful. And so they all go back to the mini-dome where it turns out that Junior is, indeed, the fourth hand they were looking for. And hey, the caterpillar is in a cocoon now! (Joe: "Actually, it's a chrysalis." Oh, you be quiet, Joe) But what happens next isn't exactly the barn-burning revelation they might have expected. Once all four hands touch the dome, a holographic cluster of pink stars appear overhead. "It's beautiful," Angie says, stunned with wonder. "But what does it mean?" Junior asks, halfway between horror and nausea. The dome piles on one mystery after another, but at least there's a Scooby Doo-sized team looking into it now.
"Let the Games Begin" finds a way to keep the stories moving by tying them all together: Barbie and Big Jim are linked in their mutual distrust of Maxine, which they discuss at the start of the episode – Barbie's resentment leads him in one direction, while Big Jim's leads him in another; meanwhile, Junior's storyline is linked to the underground "adult entertainment" club when he tries to get in with the salt her took off of a perp; then there's Julia's story, which is connected both to Linda's and Barbie's. It's a tight network of narrative, but it works, thanks to the easily-digestible, compartmentalized elements of the story. This is the best the show has been in some time, and it illustrates that the series still has legs, even if it isn't a homerun every week.

As I told my colleagues privately, I'm really curious to see how well Tyler Perry's Temptation does this opening weekend.
It's the first Tyler Perry film since 2010 that he doesn't appear in. The last film he wrote and directed that he didn't star in was For Colored Girls which was released in November 2010. Since then, he's starred in every Tyler Perry-stamped film - a total of 4 films over that 3-year time period (including Alex Cross, which he didn't write or direct).
And that's key because Tyler Perry films that don't star Tyler Perry have been his weakest films overall (there really haven't been that many in which he didn't star). And drilling even further, average box office for Tyler Perry movies WITH Madea are a lot higher than average box office for Tyler Perry movies WITHOUT Madea.
So, history isn't exactly on his side with Temptation because, first, as noted, he's not in the film, and films in which he doesn't appear (whether as Madea, or some other character) haven't been his strongest performers; and secondly, there's no Madea in this one, and his non-Madea films just haven't been as big a draw, as his Madea movies, on average, have.
Will that trend continue with Temptation? I dunno. We'll just have to wait to see when the weekend results are posted on Sunday.
Might its casting bring in audiences that usually don't see Tyler Perry films? And I'm not only thinking of Kim Kardashian, whom I hear isn't in the film all that much anyway. But, from previous posts on this site on Jurnee Smollett (who stars in the film), reader reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, not only within the comments here, but also on Facebook and Twitter. She appears to have a solid fan-base who want to see her succeed. So they might support her in this.
And while I'm not particularly sold on Lance Gross as an actor, he's also a draw in some audience circles - especially among young black women, and gay men.
Brandy and Vanessa Williams as well as in supporting roles.
There's also the seemingly salacious sell, with Perry and some of the film's marketing emphasizing how provocative it is - although it's rated PG13. But maybe provocative is relative here - so it's provocative for a Tyler Perry film. And thus one question in reaction to that would be whether his usual pious fan-base will be turned off by the idea of a, dare I say, *sinful* and *sexy* Tyler Perry movie. Or will they be enticed for those same reasons?
Perry said he showed the film to 100 pastors in a private screening, for their approval, and it seems like they gave the film their blessings, based on what he told his readers on his blog a few days ago. And I'm sure Perry encouraged the pastors to spread the "good word" about the film to their various congregations, encouraging them to see the film, which Perry has also urged troubled couples to see, because he believes the film "has the power to save relationships."
And I'll even add that the trailer for the film doesn't entirely turn me off as the trailers for past Tyler Perry films have done. This one actually looks like it has some *atmosphere* to it.
So, in summary, if Temptation doesn't perform in-line with past Tyler Perry films in which Tyler Perry doesn't star (although preferably, I'm sure Lionsgate and Perry would love to see it outperform those previous films), it might affect the choices Tyler Perry makes on future projects; because it'll essentially further cement the unfortunate truth that the only kind of Tyler Perry movie with real box office potential is the Tyler Perry movie in which he stars as Madea.
Perry himself has stated several times over the years that he'd love to hang up the Madea fat suit and wig, but strong fan support and box office continues to suggest that he'd be foolish to let that cash-cow (no pun intended) go.
However, I can only imagine how frustrating that could be for him (but also for audiences who have grown tired of Madea, and who want to see Tyler Perry grow as a filmmaker). Clearly he wants to stretch himself, and explore other kinds of material and styles of filmmaking, which I think is great; but the problem is, each time he's done that, audiences just haven't rewarded him at the box office.
The only Tyler Perry films in which he starred (or co-starred), but NOT as Madea, that have done good box office, are the Why Did I Get Married movies. But in those, he wasn't THE star. Both were ensemble cast dramas, with actors who have their own fans; so one can say, based on evidence, that the audience draw for each film, unfortunately wasn't Tyler Perry. He was a piece of a much larger pie, so to speak.
The subject matter for both films (marriage and relationships) also likely contributed to their success.
Audiences don't show up when he plays leading men (Good Deeds and Alex Cross most recently demonstrate that). It's as if even his loyal fan-base (the rest of us aside) isn't entirely sold on Tyler Perry playing a romantic lead or action hero.
They also don't show up when he's not in his films.
They only truly support him when he's wearing that fat-suit, wig, glasses, long dress etc, speaking with that higher-pitched voice.
So what's the man to do? Is he doomed to play Madea forever, or will we eventually see some shift in perceptions of Perry that allow him to be, as well as embrace him as something/someone else that doesn't immediately engender ridicule at the thought?
His next two films support my above arguments about box office, and suggest that Perry himself may also be paying attention to these trends: One is a Madea movie (Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas); the other is an ensemble dramedy in which he's a piece of a larger pie (Single Moms Club).
Both being the two kinds of Tyler Perry movies that have performed strongest at the box office.
As with his past movies, Temptation didn't screen for press, although its key cast and Tyler Perry have done some interviews with a few major outlets.
But maybe that's where to begin on this road towards a perception shift - he should start screening his films for the press, before they are released, just like the majority of other studio-backed movies.
They'll likely be crucified by much of the press, but at least he won't appear to be shielding himself from criticism, which I think actually hurts how those of us who cover him in the press, see him.
If his audience is critic-proof - as we hear often - then bad reviews from critics prior to the release of any of his films shouldn't affect box office, should it? At this point, given how long he's been in the business, and the number of films he's made, I think most audiences are familiar enough with his work to have some idea of what to expect, and whether you'll appreciate whatever he's offering on any given weekend, or not.
But let's see how audiences react to Temptation this weekend. It's opening on over 2000 screens, however, it has some competition in G.I. Joe: Retaliation and The Host. The target audiences for each film might vary, but Temptation's cast is younger, which is actually unusual for a Tyler Perry film (another key point). Its star (Smollett) is 26; Gross is 31. Of its main starring cast, Robbie Jones is the oldest, at 35. Yes, Vanessa Williams is a lot older than all of them, but she in a supporting role.
It's a *younger* film we could say - add Brandy, Kim Kardashian in the mix as well, and you have a cast of actors with fan-bases that skew younger.
All that to say that both the audiences for G.I. Joe and The Host, also skew younger. So it'll be an interesting weekend at the box office.
It should be a no-brainer that it'll come down to G.I. Joe and The Host at the top; but let's see how much of a spoiler Temptation can be, if at all.

So this year I have decided to start out with themes each day. That way I have a plan of action! I figure new year… new blog ideas so today I am starting with Meal planning Monday.
I am trying to do freezer meal as well as cook something for each night. I have a MILD pinterest Addiction so I get a lot of my ideas from there. I try to stay somewhat healthy but lets face it we all need a little naughty too. I always say everything in moderation is fine! So some of my meals are really healthy and some not so much! 😉
So this week on my list is:
Monday: Chicken Corden Bleu Cassoroll
Tuesday: Baked Meatballs
Wednesday: Lasagna Soup
Thursday: Tomato Basil Grilled pizza
Friday: Oatmeal cookie Pancakes
Saturday: Left overs
Sunday: Eggs and Bacon Sandwich
***Most of these recipes you can double and have a freezer meal ready to go.
If you do make some freezer meals out of the Meatballs. Do the entire directions except cooking them.
For Freezing:
Get a 8×8 pan
put in Aluminum foil in the pan so that it covers the whole pan and sticks out over the top of the pan
Then put Saran Wrap on top the foil. (again enough to cover the whole pan and sticks out over the top of the pan)
add in all the ingredients once you are ready to freeze it.
Put it in the freezer (pan and all) until frozen (or close to it). This will make it flat and not take up too much room in the freezer
Take it out of the pan and put in a zip lock bag with directions of what you need to do when you cook it.
When you are ready to cook it. Take it out and take off the foil and Saran Warp (if the Saran Wrap sticks put in the microwave for about 5 or 10 seconds or so and it will come off easier)
Put back in the same pan you froze it in. Thaw it and then cook it according to the directions!
No I did not think this all up on my own (ha I wish I was that smart) I have had people nice enough to teach me and share what they do or books! I wanted to share with you!
SO what is your favorite meal? I would love to hear it!

CARBONDALE, Colorado - It appears that there is a feeling of guarded optimism around town concerning the proposed Main Street Market.
So far, locals have not resorted to the kind of sharp battle lines drawn over previous efforts to develop the 24-acre site at the western edge of town.
Local consultant Bob Schultz, with one of the project's part-owners, Briston Peterson of Carbondale, hosted a Nov. 15 community meeting on the subject of the market.
Schultz indicated that he was pleased with the turnout of approximately 60 people, and with the feelings they expressed.
"I thought it was great," Schultz wrote in an email to the Post Independent. "People showed up in force and brought constructive ideas to the table."
The Main Street Market proposal, which has yet to be formally submitted to the town government, would occupy eight acres, or a third of the overall site.
The 24-acre site, near the intersection of Highway 133 and Main Street, was subject to two previous development plans - for the Village at Crystal River earlier this year and the Crystal River Marketplace a decade ago.
Those plans were rejected by Carbondale voters in special elections in 2003 and in January 2012.
The new project is considerably smaller than the previous two concepts, though it is owned by the same partnership that owned the previous proposals, according to Peterson. Two of the four partners have yet to be identified publicly.
According to Schultz, the new proposal calls for the relocation of City Market from its current space, at the southwest corner of Main Street and Highway 133, to a larger building on the north side of Main Street and behind the existing 7-Eleven store.
Aside from a new City Market store, there would be three building sites of about an acre each fronting Main Street to the west of the Highway 133 intersection.
"I think a new City Market store could be a good thing for town," said former mayor Michael Hassig, who noted that his feelings about the overall proposal are "kind of mixed, as they have been all along" regarding development proposals for that site.
Hassig's wife, Olivia Emery, who works with him at an architectural office in town, said she likes the fact that the new plan calls for the City Market store to be at the southern end of the property, rather than at the north end as it was in earlier proposals.
"That seems better, to me," she said simply.
Schultz reported that participants in the Nov. 15 community introduction made a number of suggestions for the grocery store:
• Make it green, to meet or exceed the intent of a proposed Carbondale Green Commercial Code.
• Think long term, to spend money on the building's exterior and its energy efficiency from the start, since the store will own the site and should want it to last for decades.
• Protect the night sky, to use downward facing lights, and turn off lights at night as much as is feasible.
• Plan for bikes and pedestrians, to make non-motorized customers welcome by providing for their arrival from the start, rather than as an afterthought.
"The most common comments to Briston were, 'Thanks, this is more like we have been talking about,' and 'Why didn't you do this years ago?'" Schultz reported.
By adhering to the underlying zoning of the property, the project owners might avoid an electoral battle with residents who oppose the development.
But town manager Jay Harrington said on Wednesday that the project, even though it complies with underlying zoning, must go through the town's subdivision process. If approved, he said, it would be by ordinance.
And ordinances, Harrington continued, can be subject to a citizen referendum.
This means that "theoretically, someone could challenge the subdivision" and put it to a vote of the people, he said.

I got into it when I was ridine a "cruiser" and notice these guys riding these super fast bikes called "roadbikes." lol Then I went home and searched on them. I went to my backyard, and I found a Giant Cadex 980 C roadbike frame. So I began building it together. I finally completed it not so long ago. I live in Torrance, and I live pretty close to the beach. That's my favorite place to bike. Can't wait to meet you guys, and explore more into the road bike world.

A Dad's Woodworking Tools Inspire a Writer
I like to comb the internet for interesting woodworking stories and this week I stumbled across a great one. This article isn't just great because of its subject matter, but because the thoughtfulness of it can really ring home for people at this time of the year – reflecting back on a lost loved one during the holidays.
John Merritt of The Milford Daily News posted this article online in June, but it really means more now with Christmas right around the corner. It is titled "My Father's Tools". In it a son walks into his father's workshop after he has died and takes note of what he sees. He does a great job describing all of the tools in the shop, so fine a job that I can actually picture every inch of the shop in my mind. I can visualize the drill on the workbench, the band saw, table saw, drill press, planer, jointer and router surrounded by wood shavings on the floor.
At the end of the story Mr. Merritt talks about how he regrets not spending more time with his Dad in his shop but vows to give it a shot on his own now, so his Dad would be proud of him trying. So do you need a tissue yet? Seriously, woodworking can be a very emotional craft or hobby. It is often romanticized in the media now in the age of automation and big production plants in foreign countries. Making something by hand just strikes a tone. My questions to you today are:
- Did someone share the craft with you? Was it passed down to you from a previous generation?
- Did someone pass their woodworking tools down to you? If so, what is your most cherished one?
- Have you shared your craft with someone else of a younger generation? If not, are you going to make an effort to do so?
Woodworking is viewed by many as a dying craft. As you know, schools are in financial trouble and they need to save money. Unfortunately one of the first programs that they turn to is "shop", it often gets the axe and consequently less future woodworkers are being created. It could be up to you to make this craft thrive going forward. We at Eagle America are proud to supply woodworking tools to schools and woodworking clubs across the country. We know their efforts are vital to the health of woodworking in the future. Please, make a resolution to "pay it forward" and share the art of woodworking with someone younger than you in 2011.

"Pioneering the Future of Tools"
I am well-seasoned retired union carpenter. I have four children and, fourteen grandchildren. As a young boy I loved nature and woodworking. If I wasn't out catching snakes, birds, rabbits, and squirrels I was working in my grandfather's wood shop. He was a lineman for PGE and taught me electrical skills. He always included me in what he was doing. He built boats, grandfather clocks, furniture-you name it. He always had a job for me helping and then would brag about how he couldn't have done it without me. He was very proud of his grandfather "the town blacksmith". He told me stories of the many skills his grandfather shared with the town he lived in. One story was of a nearby mill that had a six-inch diameter by thirty-foot long steel shaft that snapped in half during a bitter cold winter in Nebraska in the early 1900s. Several men with horses brought it to his shop and set it up over his forge so they could help turn it while he repaired it. When it got red hot he split the shaft's broken ends and added a new wedge shaped piece and kept beating it as it turned over the forge melting the three pieces together until it was round. After it was re-installed the Mill owner swore it ran smoother then when it was new. He was very kind and giving, as times were hard back then. He'd ask people for a chicken, eggs, or whatever he new they could give so they wouldn't get their pride hurt by not having money to pay him. When my great-great grandfather died my grandfather said he'd never seen so many people in the town that came to his funeral, even more than during the state fair. My grandfather said his grandfather always made time to help him with a project. As a young boy he helped him build a model airplane. They painted it bright red and it hung in my great-great grandfathers shop for him to brag about his grandson's talents until the day he died. My Grandpa had tears in his eyes when he told me the story, as I do now writing about it. I am forever grateful to have been loved by such a kind and giving man. Dan Deulen

Last night, we took a bit of time off from the legal world to go to the Phillies pre-season game at the fabulous Citizen's Bank park.
As you can see - we had great seats, just 28 rows behind the Phillies dugout.
We brought blankets, hand warmers (Thanks Elizabeth!) and fleece jackets.
I made sure I wore Phillies red!
Go Phillies! Good luck this season.

Fingerprint characters, Spot characters
When we consider how characters (=characteristics) are distributed across species:
- Some field characters are useful for dividing species up into large groups. Leaf arrangement, and exudates of cut bark (slash exudates) are field characters of this type. These characters are excellent for primary divisions of keys in guides that that cover many families.
- Some field characters, by contrast, may be of use for distinguishing one species from another, but are of little value for dividing species up into groups of plants that are similar overall. Flower colour and leaf harininess are characters like this.
- Some characters are specific to each species, across a wide range of species in a given set. In other words, each species is distinctive in respect of these characters. These can be called fingerprint characters for that set of species.
- Such taxon-specific characters are sometimes called spot characters, but this term is typically used for simply defined characters of any plant part. For instance, in a particular African context, thick yellow, custard-like latex might be a spot character for species of the family Guttiferae, and spirally recurved hooks might be a spot character for the genus Hugonia.
- We wish to emphasise with the term fingerprint character those cases where the same character, or plant part, has myriad, often species-specific shades of variation. Typically, spot characters can be simpy expressed with words, whereas fingerprint characters are often only useful in a picture of the relevant plant part.
- Typically, there may be many attributes or sub-characters defining a single fingerprint, but a fingerpint character should be a useful attribute in itself. 'Leaf venation pattern' usually defines a good fingerprint character within a given set of flowering plants, and although it can be broken down into numbers and curvature of laterals nerves, secondary nerves, degree of prominence, upper and lower surface, etc. it is sometimes more useful simply to show a picture and treat this as a single fingerprint character.
- Broader 'themes' of characters, like the 'general appearance of the tree' might be as distinctive as a fingerprint, but it would be too hard to describe without specifying smaller characters like bark type, crown shape and so on, so probably would not qualify as a useful fingerpint character.
Importantly, Police fingerprint records work, even though not all people are represented in the police's databases. These sorts of characters are ideal for use in Modular and incomplete-set guides for the same reason.
Bark slash characters are about as good a fingerprint field character as one can hope for in a field key to large rainforest trees. Leaf form and shape with venation pattern a useful fingerprint within many groups of species.

STEPANAKERT – A team of international mediators has met with ethnic Armenian leaders in the breakaway Azerbaijani region of Nagorno-Karabakh, RFE/RL's Armenian Service reports.
U.S., Russian, and French mediators with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) Minsk Group were in Karabakh on September 8 on the second leg of a tour of the conflict zone.
They crossed into the disputed territory's northern Martakert district from Azerbaijan proper through the heavily militarized "line of contact" separating the warring sides at a point where deadly fighting took place last week.
The mediators also attended a monitoring of the cease-fire conducted by OSCE field officers.
The Foreign Ministry of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) said in a statement that "no cease-fire violations were registered" during the monitoring.
At least four Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in that area in two separate incidents reported last week. Each side blamed the other for the truce violations.
The mediators condemned the incidents and called for "additional actions necessary to strengthen the cease-fire" as they began their fresh round of regional shuttle diplomacy in Baku on September 6. They made no public statements the following day after meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev.
The mediating troika was just as reticent after holding talks with self-styled Karabakh President Bako Sahakian the next day. "I cannot share our impressions with you because...we are only in the middle of our mission," Bernard Fassier, the Minsk Group's French co-chair, told journalists in Stepanakert.
Fassier said he, U.S. envoy Robert Bradtke, and Russian mediator Igor Popov are scheduled to meet with President Serzh Sarkisian in the Armenian capital today.
In their last statement released on Monday, the co-chairs pledged to step up their efforts to broker a solution to the Karabakh conflict. They said they will remain "particularly active" in the months leading up to the OSCE summit in Kazakhstan's capital, Astana, scheduled for December.
Sahakian's office said the Karabakh leader discussed with the visiting diplomats "a broad range of issues" relating to the peace process. "Both sides pointed out that the military option of resolving the conflict is absolutely unacceptable," the office said in a statement.

Recently, the foundation was laid for the new jail in Newton County. The current jail has 18 beds. County officials say the new facility will be more than triple the size of the current one.
"The one that we're building now is a 66-man jail. It's a new modern jail. It will be safer. We can handle the inmates easier. It's just a great step for Newton County," said Sheriff Jackie Knight.
The jail is set to be finished by March of next year. It's estimated to costs around $2.5 million.

Welcome to Frugal Portland, a place where you can share your opinions and advice freely on all things personal finance related. All your opinions are welcome. I'm navigating my way through financial decisions and rely heavily on the thoughts and opinions of you, dear reader, to help steer me in the right direction.
About Kathleen
I graduated from college in 2004, with a degree in politics and not very much money sense. I moved to DC after working on a political campaign the summer after I graduated, and tried my best to keep up with each and every Jones I could find. I made some really great friends, fell in love, and generally had a blast.
In 2006, I made my first bad financial decision: I loaned a friend of a friend $20,000 for his business. But here's the worst part: I wrote a check from my credit card. The "investment" turned out (to my surprise!) badly, and all of a sudden I had more credit card debt than I could stomach.
I moved back to Portland from DC right after voting in the 2008 presidential election. In 2009, I decided to get my head out of the sand, and take control of my finances. I charted my debts and interest rates, and worked out a plan. It was time to get serious.
In February 2012, I used a tax refund to drop the last bit of credit card debt forever. It was a powerful moment that turned out rather ordinary. I realized that nothing will change, life will go on as usual, and nobody was going to give me a sticker for paying off my credit cards.
Today, I'm able to take control of my money. I no longer stay awake at night wondering how I'm going to make rent. I wrote down the rest of my financial goals — pay off car, pay off student loans, save half my income, never have a car loan ever again ever — and realized that getting out of credit card debt was an important first step toward financial independence, but just that — a first step. I realized that to succeed, I would need to (of course) make more money, and (again, somewhat obvious) spend less of what I take home. I'm proud to say I've been successful on both fronts.
I believe that by being frugal and working hard, I will get to where I want to be financially, which is to say, comfortable. Successful. Independent. My future self does not own a yacht, but she also doesn't need to be married to make ends meet. I believe that lacking money can stress a person out, but that making a lot of money is not the full solution. Studies show that there is no difference in happiness between the person who makes $50,000 a year and the person who makes $50M a year. There are far more important things than money, and money can't buy the things that matter most.
I love Frugal Portland because of the community of readers (which, to my utmost surprise, consist of more than just my parents and my sister). I love connecting with people, and by writing in this space, I have been lucky enough to turn strangers into friends.
Quick Facts
- I like to eat, and I love to cook. Bring me a bottle of bubbly and we'll be fast friends. If you don't drink bubbly, then any wine will do.
- Don't bring me food, though, because there are way too many things I can't eat.
- I make the best salted caramels you've ever had. Try me!
- I believe in the power of vegetables. Perhaps because I like those salted caramels.
- I love to read, and am working my way through all the winners of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction (and novels). My favorite so far is The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton, but if you're looking for a good book, that list is a great place to start. They didn't give one out in 2012 — isn't that weird?
- I work in sales and marketing, and I love my job. I can only sell things I firmly believe will make a difference in the lives of others, and I am certain that our product does just that.
- My sister is nearly seven years younger than me, and one of my absolute best friends. I count myself lucky for that reason alone.

I am planning to upgrade to enjoy the benefits of the 5th version.
I have Red Hat enterprise 4, (actually centOS)
Do I have to update to an intermediate version before going to 5.02 from the 4.5.4? or I just have to install the 5.0.2 directly?
Is there a howto around here?
I am using non standard ports (8080, 7071,etc..) Does de upgrade recognize all these old settings?
