The last two weeks have focused on appliances. Now, we're going to shift directions and take a deeper look at automobiles.
Let's take a look at two hypothetical cars.
You're looking at a class of cars that, according to the data you've researched, get to 150,000 miles pretty reliably before significant problems set in. You drive 25,000 miles per year, so you're hoping to get six years out of the car. Gas costs $3.25 a gallon. We're going to assume that insurance among the models is equal and that maintenance costs are equal, too.
Let's call one Model A. Model A costs $25,000. It gets 35 miles to the gallon. Based on the data you've seen, Model A is about 10% more reliable than the average car in the class you're looking at.
The other one, Model B, costs $18,000. It gets 22 miles to the galoon. Based on the data you've seen, Model B is about 10% less reliable than the average car in the class you're looking at.
(I'm using "Model A" and "Model B" because I'm not advocating a particular car make or model here, but simply trying to demonstrate how much of an impact on your wallet that fuel economy and reliability make.)
Both cars will sell for about $1,500 used.
Which one is the better bargain?
The one figure I care about above everything else is the cost per mile while you own this car. Usually, you'd figure things like insurance and maintenance into this cost per mile number, but since we're assuming they're equal, we're only going to worry about the cost of fuel and depreciation.
So, with Model A, you're going to lose $23,500 due to depreciation. Given that it's 10% more reliable than the average car of that class, you're going to get 165,000 miles out of it. You'll have to put 4,714 gallons of gas in it over that timeframe, totaling a cost of $15,321.43, for a total investment of $38,821.43. Per mile, over those 165,000 miles, you'll be putting 23.5 cents per mile into the car.
With Model B, you're going to lose $16,500 due to depreciation. Given that it's 10% less reliable than the average car of that class, you're going to get 135,000 miles out of it. You'll have to put 6,136 gallons of gas in it over that timeframe, making for a fuel cost of $19,943.18, for a total investment of $36,443.18. Per mile, over those 135,000 miles, you'll be putting 26.9 cents per mile into the car.
To put it simply, reliability and fuel efficiency are worth a lot when buying a car. You would need Model B to cost about $13,000 to compete on cost with the Model A (with a sticker price of $25,000). Yes, reliability and fuel efficiency are making up for about half of the price of the car in this example. The difference is enormous.
Not only that, the more reliable your car is, the greater the time between car purchases. That means less time spent looking at and buying a car and more time spent enjoying life. In the above comparison, Model A is going to last the owner more than a year longer than Model B even though the owner is putting 25,000 miles per year on the car. Not only is Model A cheaper per mile, it's going to last longer, too.
So, how do you find out about reliability and fuel efficiency numbers? My first destination for such research is Consumer Reports, which usually has solid information on a wide variety of car models in terms of both fuel economy and reliability. Your library likely has several years worth of Consumer Reports car issues. Beyond reliability and fuel economy, I also look seriously at safety information, which Consumer Reports also helps with.
FuelEconomy.gov is a great online resource for fuel economy data. It gives all kinds of details on the fuel economy of various makes and models of automobile.
ReliabilityIndex.com is another tool that can really help you identify which models have a history of reliability and which do not. I use their reliability index as one significant factor when deciding on what car to buy.
All of the luxury features you might want in a car should be completely secondary in your search. Most of those features can be installed later if you decide you can't live without them, so don't pay for them at the dealership. Focus instead on getting the best bang for your buck that you can get in terms of fuel efficiency and reliability, and you'll find yourself happy at the lighter load that car puts on your wallet.
This post is part of a yearlong series called "365 Ways to Live Cheap (Revisited)," in which I'm revisiting the entries from my book "365 Ways to Live Cheap," which is available at Amazon and at bookstores everywhere.

Every April 15, our area�s frost line gives us permission to till the earth and head out to the farmers� market and garden centers to purchase seed, seedlings, hugh buckets of maturing plants ready for new wooden plant stakes and stirring sticks for backyard compost piles.
Earth day, known as Mother Earth�s birthday, is such a wonderful celebration day given to us to start a season of magical surprises. I can still remember those early blossoms of spring and walking in the soft, warm soil, barefoot, while helping my Grandfather Boyd plant his tomatoes and green beans.
My grandfather would wrap the stems of his tomato plants with little strips of torn Gastonia Gazette newspapers and I had the job of being the �water-girl.� We used a rusty tin can to hold the Half Runner green bean seeds and a mason jar to dip the water. I had to pour it gently into the hole, while my brothers or cousins got the job of filling in the holes with a perfect scoop of soft soil around the base of the plants.
I can still smell the first plantings of Marglobes, June Pinks and Marions while remembering the feeling of the velvety yet scratchy leaves found in my Papa�s tomato garden. Quart jars of green beans can be found all through our home, representing trophies of my gardening labors. My favorite vegetable is, can you guess? Green beans. All varieties, including Blue Lake or the new string less, Espada . My �must have� vegetables can be served for everyday or �special� occasion meals.
Children who grow up in a garden are specially blessed by God. Those children who visit Gastonia Farmers Market� during May and attend Kidz Club on May 4, will get their very own tomato plant and a lesson to embrace that special feeling of learning to be a farmer.
This Saturday, you can expect to find the following great offerings at market
Lion�s Club Brooms are available for $9 and $11.
New vendors and new products are coming to Gastonia Farmer�s Market very soon
WANT TO GO? The Gastonia Farmers Market, located at 410 E. Long Ave., is open from 8 a.m. to noon in April. Look for expanded hours in May.

Shrewsbury end with a whimper
Shrewsbury's hopes of the League Two title disappeared as Plymouth warmed up for their play-off campaign in style with a 2-0 win.
Last Updated: 02/05/15 6:00pm
Shrewsbury's hopes of the League Two title disappeared as Plymouth warmed up for their play-off campaign in style with a 2-0 win.
The home side went into the game with ambitions of pipping Burton to lift the title but Plymouth shocked Micky Mellon's men with first-half goals from Bobby Reid and Kelvin Mellor.
With Burton winning, Shrews would not have lifted the title regardless but their inability to mount a comeback meant they suffered a second home league defeat of the campaign.
There were just three minutes on the clock when Mellor burst forward down the right and his low cross was confidently steered home by the impressive Reid.
James Colins tried to engineer an instant response but his shot was well saved by Luke McCormick.
At the other end Zak Ansah and Reid both went close to doubling the advantage before Mellor did just that a minute before the interval, finishing coolly from close range after the ball kindly ran his way.
Shrewsbury surged forward in search of a way back in the second half.
A deflected effort from Ryan Woods produced a fingertip save from McCormick and Tyrone Barnett fired narrowly off target from just outside the box.
Plymouth, who will face Wycombe in the semi-finals of the play-offs, almost added a late third but substitute Tyler Harvey's 25-yard free-kick was brilliantly tipped over the bar by Jayson Leutwiler.

Syria has agreed to allow inspectors into the country to check alleged nuclear activities, the UN's nuclear watchdog announced on Monday.
"It has now been agreed that an agency team will visit Syria during the period 22-24 of June. I look forward to Syria's full co-operation in this matter," Mohamed ElBaradei told a meeting of the agency's 35-nation board of governors," reports The Times of London.
The visit of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) comes after Syria was accused of launching a covert nuclear program with North Korean aid – an accusation Syria has always denied. Last September, Israeli fighter planes bombed a desert facility in the east of the country, which, the US government said, was being used for nuclear purposes, reports The New York Times.
The atomic agency, the nuclear monitor of the United Nations, had pledged to investigate after American intelligence officials released evidence in late April of what they described as a clandestine nuclear reactor that had been "nearing operational capability" a month before the bombing.
The evidence included a series of close-up photographs of what the Americans claimed was the partly built reactor before its destruction. The Israeli airstrike on Sept. 6 spurred international debate over whether the Syrians were starting a secret program to make nuclear weapons.
Syria has strongly denied the charges. However, it wiped the Euphrates site clean of rubble late last year and erected a new building where the destroyed one had been — a step nuclear experts said would complicate the job of hunting for atomic clues. Some analysts said the rapid cleanup and new construction had been tacit admissions of guilt.
CNN says that the IAEA now wishes to investigate these claims for itself:
[Mr.] ElBaradei said the agency has been discussing the matter with Syrian authorities since it learned of the allegations in April, eight months after the Israeli strike.
The purpose of the talks, ElBaradei said, was to arrange "a visit to Syria at an early date to verify, to the extent possible at this stage, the veracity of the information available to the agency.
"Syria, like all states with comprehensive safeguards agreements, has an obligation to report the planning and construction of any nuclear facility to the agency," the IAEA chief said.
According to The Washington Post, the US government is pushing for the IAEA to enter Syria with a wider assignment, suspecting the existence of several other nuclear facilities:
The Bush administration is pressing U.N. inspectors to broaden their search for possible secret nuclear facilities in Syria, hinting that Damascus's nuclear program might be bigger than the single alleged reactor destroyed by Israeli warplanes last year.
At least three sites have been identified by U.S. officials and passed along to the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is negotiating with Syria for permission to conduct inspections in the country, according to U.S. government officials and Western diplomats. U.S. officials want to know if the suspect sites may have been support facilities for the alleged Al Kibar reactor destroyed in an Israeli air raid Sept. 6, the sources said.
In Syria, the accusations have been met with denials, Syria Today magazine reports.
Samir Altaqi, the general coordinator at Damascus' Orient Centre for Studies, believes that Syria will react to the US allegations by cooperating fully with the international community. "They will make a full disclosure because they have the best defence: innocence. Syria will be able to demonstrate that it has adhered to all of its international obligations," he said
Syrian government officials would not comment on the IAEA visit, but Ahmed Salkini, press secretary at the Syrian Embassy in Washington, provided a statement to The New York Times denying the broader accusations:
"This fabricated story by the U.S. administration will deconstruct from within and without. We are working on different fronts, and with different parties, to ensure that this fabrication is exposed to the world, and this administration embarrassed, once again."
On a state visit to Dubai Monday, Syrian President Bashir Assad did say that his country maintained peaceful nuclear hopes, says Gulf News:
"Acquiring nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is an international trend that all countries are rightfully pursuing. In Syria, we want this to be done within an Arab context, which was discussed and agreed during the Arab Summit in Riyadh."
In Vienna, ElBaradei also sought to reassert his agency's control over the nuclear regulation regime. During his address, he condemned the US and Israel for their unilateral actions targeting Syria, reports the Los Angeles Times blog Babylon & Beyond.
[ElBaradei] also criticized Israel and the U.S., which gave Israel the go-ahead to strike the site last year. ElBaradei said Washington and Israel should have gone to his agency, an arm of the United Nations, before launching air raids.
"It is deeply regrettable that information concerning this installation was not provided to the agency in a timely manner and that force was resorted to unilaterally before the agency was given an opportunity to establish the facts, in accordance with its responsibilities under the Nonproliferation Treaty and Syria's Safeguards Agreement. I should like to remind everybody that NPT states parties have unanimously reaffirmed that the agency is the competent authority responsible for verifying and assuring ... compliance by states with their safeguards agreements."
In response, critics say the agency has to prove its independent worth by forcing Syria to come clean over its nuclear ambitions.

Lyrics:First verseI wander tonight where the moon softly beams, Into the past thro' a garden of dreams; There I will linger with you, dear, once more, As I did in the days of yore.RefrainWhen I was a dreamer and you were my dream, We lived in a palace of gold; Each beautiful dream brought you nearer, it seemed, Close in my arms to enfold. I dreamed that you always would love me, I dreamed of a world just for two; But I was a dreamer and you were my dream, A dream that has never come true.Second verseI'm dreaming again of a day in the past, Dreaming of love that you said was to last; Now like a dream that I dream in the night, All my love dreams have taken flight.(Refrain)

California enacts new laws to protect farmers, public
On September 27, Governor Schwarzenegger signed several new laws to protect farmers and residents. AB 541 is a landmark law that, for the first time in the country, protects farmers from agribusiness and chemical giants like Monsanto that have harassed and sued farmers for "theft" of the company's patented genes when their crops are contaminated by genetically modified seeds or pollen. AB 541 was sponsored by an unprecedented coalition that included family farmers, California Certified Organic Farmers, United Natural Foods Inc. and the California Farm Bureau Federation. "AB 541 provides much-needed protection for farmers who typically lack the resources to fight lawsuits brought by biotech conglomerates," says Genetic Engineering Policy Project Director Renata Brillinger who praised the new law as "a good first step towards establishing that Monsanto … is legally responsible for the economic, environmental and health harms caused by their patented and uncontrollable products." This week, the governor signed two other laws to address public concern about California's plan to use aerial spraying to control the light brown apple moth: AB 2763 and AB 2765 require the Department of Food and Agriculture to hold meetings to assure community input on any plans to deal with "high priority" insect, plant or animal pests, to consider alternatives and evaluate the public health risks, and reveal each ingredient in the pesticide to be sprayed. PAN and allies supported all three measures.
Organic farm wins $1 million pesticide drift suit
A jury in Santa Cruz, California has awarded $1 million to an organic farmer whose crops were contaminated by pesticides drifting from nearby fields. Trace levels of pesticides were detected on the organic crops at Jacobs Farm in October 2006 after several organophosphate chemicals -- chlorpyrifos, diazinon and dimethoate -- were applied on Brussels sprouts at a nearby farm. Over the course of several days following application, the pesticides evaporated and coastal fogs carried the chemicals over neighboring property. The San Francisco Chronicle reports the pesticides "wiped out a year's worth of culinary herbs including sage, rosemary and dill at Jacobs Farm Del Cabo." Although organophosphates are known to persist and are prone to drift, the Chronicle notes that "neither federal nor state regulations account for it or provide any protection for organic farmers." Western Farm Service -- the company that applied the pesticides and was found liable for the $1 million fine -- is considering an appeal, fearing the verdict "raises concerns about (the) future use of organophosphates in California." Nathan Benjamin, an attorney for the organic farm concluded: "The message from the jury is pretty clear, both to industry and to regulators: It's not acceptable to apply these poisonous chemicals and turn your back on the consequences after the point of application."
Bio-tech no solution to global food crisis
As global food prices shot up 83 percent over the past three years -- culminating in worldwide food riots last spring -- biotech firms pumped up their PR campaigns to promote genetically engineered (GE or GM) crops as the techno-fix for world hunger. But, according to Bill Freese of the Center for Food Safety, writing in the Multinational Monitor, agricultural biotech creates more problems than it solves. Many observers regard the food crisis as structural and systemic –- the result of speculation and deregulation in commodity food markets, diversion from food to agrofuel production, and trade policies that have encouraged mono-crops (primarily soy and corn) for export, rather than for in-country consumption. Farmers are urged to buy patented GE seeds costing two to four times more -- seeds that cannot be legally saved for re-use. "Hype and promises of future innovations notwithstanding, there is not a single commercial GM crop with increased yield, drought-tolerance, salt-tolerance, enhanced nutrition or other attractive-sounding traits touted by the industry," says Freese. "Disease-resistant GM crops are practically non-existent." In addition to increased herbicide use on Monsanto's "Roundup Ready" crops, unintended, yield-lowering side-effects have proven another serious limitation of GE crops. While agricultural biotech has failed to address the ongoing crisis, the UN's Agricultural Assessment finds agroecological farming techniques better suited to small farmers. The Assessment also calls for comprehensive reforms that treat food as a human right and recognize the importance of "food sovereignty" -- the right of peoples and sovereign states to democratically determine their own agriculture and food policies.
Online pesticide sales — illegal and dangerous
Pesticide dealers are selling unregistered and restricted-use pesticides in the Internet's unregulated online marketplace. Recent investigations conducted by state agencies found multiple violations including sales of federally unregistered chemicals and illegal sales of diazinon, a chemical banned from residential use because of the risks it poses to children's health. Another concern is that many formulations sold online are highly concentrated versions designed for use by licensed professionals. One online sale involved the termite and ant killer Tengard SFR. "Numbness, seizures, or even death could result from overexposure to permethrin, the chemical found in Tengard SFR," says PAN Senior Scientist Susan Kegley. "Because some products sold online are highly concentrated, they are especially dangerous for untrained users who may not know how to properly ventilate an area or the importance of using appropriate protective equipment during the application," she said. The risks of Internet pesticide sales have been on the EPA's radar since at least 2001 when the agency promised "to play a significant role in e-commerce enforcement." Since then, the EPA has shifted responsibility to individual state agencies, which often lack the resources and, in cases of interstate commerce, the authority to monitor and enforce Internet pesticide sales. The organization charged with coordinating state and federal regulations is the Association of American Pesticide Control Officials. Its main enforcement tool is a letter.
Endosulfan risk on NZ sports fields
Despite endosulfan bans in more than 15 countries, a town in New Zealand is spraying endosulfan on sport fields. Dr. Meriel Watts, of PAN New Zealand, wants to see the practice stopped. New Zealand's Northern Advocate reports that endosulfan, a persistent organochlorine pesticide, is used in the city of Whangerei "to control earthworms on a Kamo soccer field and Cobham Oval, "despite the fact that the chemical "is linked to birth defects, breast and testicular cancer and Parkinson's disease." "It's a serious risk to humans and animals," Watts warns. "The chemical evaporates off the soil and plants…. It will drift in the wind and people nearby will inhale it." Its use is declining in other New Zealand cities - Auckland halted the spraying of endosulfan in 1999 and the city of Tauranga ceased use in September after residents complained. Auckland now controls worms with iron or ammonium sulphate, which doesn't kill the worms, just drives them away. Whangarei parks officer Aubrey Gifford insists the alternatives are not "cost effective" but Watts responds: "What matters more? Finding a cheap way of controlling worms or looking after people's health?" On October 1, New Zealand's Green Party reported "children are being needlessly put at risk" by 18 of the country's 85 town councils which "have sprayed sports grounds with Endosulfan in the past year."
Pesticide rice scandal rocks Japan
Japanese shoppers were reportedly "horrified" by the discovery that 102,053 red bean onigiri rice balls sold in supermarkets and stores over a five-month period were contaminated with mold and the pesticide methamidophos. According to the Associated Press, the tainted rice was intended "for industrial uses such as the manufacture of glue" but a rice trader in Osaka shipped the contaminated rice to sweets and liquor makers as well as some 370 food companies while "several chemical companies, including a glue maker, also shipped tainted rice as food." The AP reports the rice, "imported from China, Vietnam and the United States, was shipped to food companies, schools, day-care centers and nursing homes." Levels of methamidophos exceeded government safety standards but government officials assured the public that levels "were too low to threaten anyone's health." One distributor has reportedly committed suicide. Another casualty was Japan's Agriculture Minister Seiichi Ota who offered his resignation after only seven weeks in office.
Organic controls boost Uganda's coffee yields
Ugandan coffee growers, whose yields have suffered due to the disease coffee leaf rust, are enjoying improved harvests thanks to homemade, organic disease control methods. Kampala's New Vision newspaper reports that organic "farmers who have managed to control the diseases currently make over $5 a kilo for washed Arabica coffee, compared to the previous amount of less than $1." Urth Caffe, a California-based organic coffee importer, teamed with the Uganda Coffee Development Authority (UCDA) and farmers to develop organic methods for controlling the diseases. Farmers are using local ingredients, including pepper, pawpaw, orange leaves, tomatoes and ash, among other inputs. UCDA Principal Development Officer Apollo Kamugisha predicts that once "more farmers embrace organic coffee farming, the entire district [will] be in a position to eradicate coffee leaf rust."
Fight pesticides; wear bamboo undies
It can take a pound of chemicals to produce eight pairs of conventional men's cotton briefs. Each year 275 million pounds of pesticides are used in cotton production. In addition to pesticide residues, bleached undershorts can also contain dioxin, a carcinogen and toxic hormone disruptor. WebWire reports that BoxerBriefs.com offers "organic men's boxers" made from certified organic cotton grown in Turkey. Meanwhile, Joanna Ketterer, the head of Luva Huva, a London design shop, has introduced a new line of women's underwear made from bamboo. London's The Sun reports these bamboo briefs are "eco-friendly" because bamboo is "quick to grow, does not need pesticides and is biodegradable." Ketterer told The Sun: "People often have the perception that environmentally-sound clothing lacks style and comfort. With this new range, I have tried to show they can have both." One of The Sun's online readers recommended "a fabric made from nettle stalks [that] produce a beautiful silky fabric." Another reader expressed concern that Luva Huva might be "taking bamboo out of a Panda's mouth." (Not to worry: it's panda-friendly.) And a third reader offered a word of caution: When visiting a zoo, "don't get too close to the pandas when wearing that ensemble."

Pinakotheken in Munich
The Pinakothek of Modern Art
The Old Pinakothek
The Old Pinakothek (Alte Pinakothek) was built by Leo von Klenze between 1826 and 1836 at the request of King Ludwig I. It houses one of the world's most important and oldest collections of paintings with European masterpieces from the 14th to the end of the 18th Century.
The New Pinakothek
The New Pinakothek (Neue Pinakothek), re-opened in 1981 as a modern museum building, also goes back to Ludwig I's passion for collecting. The leading representatives of Early Romanticism, such as Caspar David Friedrich and the French avant garde with Cezanne, Manet, Corot, Coubet, hang next to works by Goya, Gainsborough, Leibl and Spitzweg.

In the eye of the storm – that is to say, in the unrelenting public discussion that is climate change – author Eric H. Cline's latest Op-Ed for The New York Times packs quite a gale force.
Holding both ancient and contemporary society up to the proverbial light, Cline asks if we're really all that different from our forebears and whether or not we're capable of avoiding a similarly abrupt end.
Eric H. Cline, a Professor of classics and anthropology at George Washington University and the Director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute, doesn't hesitate to present these very early, and very scary repercussions of environmental catastrophe. He reminds readers that these events have acted as catalysts of warfare and harbingers of destruction since the days of old, or, more specifically, since the tail-end of the Late Bronze Age.
In his new book, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed, Cline reveals that the thriving cultures within Egypt, Greece, and Mesopotamia didn't necessarily succumb to the military prowess of the 'Sea Peoples' alone, but rather, fell victim to Mother Nature herself: earthquakes, changes in water temperature, drought, and famine hearkened in a period of rebellion, followed by complete ruin.
"We still do not know the specific details of the collapse at the end of the Late Bronze Age or how the cascade of events came to change society so drastically. But it is clear that climate change was one of the primary drivers or stressors, leading to the societal breakdown."
The real question Cline seems to be getting at is: "Why not us?" We're no more able to control the weather than they were – or are we? Recent debates about global warming suggest that we might just be able to put off our own demise, at least temporarily.
What happens if we don't change our habits, however, is less certain; but Cline is fairly convinced, based on the evidence from his book, that it won't be good. For him, the possibility of total collapse is far from the realm of the ridiculous, and his article is not so much a threat as it is a warning. Maybe if we know what brought our ancestors into the Dark Ages, we can stay in a light for just a little while longer.

I released a TB in June of 2006. It's goal was to get to Two Rivers, Alaska (near Fairbanks). It made it to Juneau, finally, then to Whitehorse and from there it was carried off to Europe. A cacher in the Netherlands picked it up on January 6, 2008 and just released it today, two years and nearly seven months later. I had given up hope of ever hearing from this TB again. So if you're in the Netherlands and plan to go to Alaska...:D

Staff writer
The holidays can be a stressful time for most people. Shannon Hoffer hoped to ease some of this stress by treating guests to a relaxing weekend Nov. 22 and 23 at her annual Country Dreams Yoga Retreat. She said it is important in the stressful holiday season to take time each day to slow down and de-stress.
"The theme was to celebrate the season change rather than dread it," she said. "Coming together and using yoga class, meditation, healthy food, and positive thinking to shift our mindset that winter has to be miserable."
Hoffer said as a society, people rush through everything and sometimes taking time to just slow down can help tremendously.
"This is important, we can truly experience the holiday season and embrace what this time means for us. We can become more organized and excited about the holidays being in a relaxed state of mind," she said. "I feel families are so overwhelmed with holiday activity that if they take a few moments out of their day or an hour to practice yoga with me they can focus their attention on one event at a time, which can bring more joy to the experience."
Hoffer relaxes by sitting outside and spending time with family, friends, and pets, but her favorite is doing yoga.
"Yoga is a powerful practice," she said. "Not only is it effective in stress management, but it helps the body stay lean lose weight and keeps the mind healthy and strong. I teach yoga to practice relaxing the mind and body together at the same time."
She said doing an activity like yoga to relax versus watching TV because it takes your mind off the guilty feeling of, "I should be doing something productive."
"Yoga helps us with this integration by ending each class in 'savasana' or 'final relaxation pose,"' she said. "It's a time to practice relaxing everything at the same time. Words cannot describe the experience of that relaxation. One must step on the yoga mat and find out for themselves."
The retreat was held at Country Dreams outside Marion. Guests included 14 participants from Kansas City, Manhattan, Newton, Hillsboro, and Marion including Hoffer and retreat co-planner Wendy Hett. The majority were from Hoffer's yoga classes.
Participants took part in yoga, roundtable discussions, and eating healthy.
Topics discussed were, what do you like about the fall/winter, what yoga means to you, among others.
"I like to keep things local as much as possible and to keep the money within our community," she said. "I had Ida from Zimmermans bake rolls for our Friday dinner. Thomas Hett was our photographer for our 'Rock Star' yoga photos, which are pictures taken of the participants in yoga postures for keepsakes of the retreat. I used Hillsboro massage therapists, which did 10-minute chair massages. Donna Hett made homemade truffles. Karen Wheeler from St. Luke Hospital provided Reiki sessions for those interested. We used farm fresh eggs from Marion and local honey."

Rihanna's Halloween Party at Greystone Manor | Pictures
Rihanna Is Crowned Halloween Queen at Her Spooky Bash
Rihanna Is Crowned Halloween Queen at Her Spooky Bash
Rihanna was last night's queen of the annual West Hollywood Halloween Carnaval. The singer was awarded a crown and a key to the city by the mayor at Greystone Manor nightclub, before heading inside to host an All Hallows' Eve bash with famous friends including Flo Rida and Paris Hilton. Rihanna skipped a costume for the festivities, instead opting for a black dress and heels, but was happy to pose with fellow partyers in their full regalia.
Rihanna took the night off work to focus on revelry, but the pop star isn't slowing down on the career front any time soon. This week, she announced that she's planning what she calls her 777 tour, where she'll play seven shows over seven days in seven different countries. The concert series kicks off mid-November, timed to the release of her upcoming studio album, Unapologetic. Rihanna also made headlines earlier this week when news that a special, limited-edition box set of Unapologetic will run fans $250.

An outpouring of support during a fundraising dinner for critically injured Point Loma High School graduate Will Barton on Nov. 23 raised thousands of dollars to help his family offset medical costs, as Barton himself made a major stride during his recovery from multiple gunshot wounds.
Nearly 300 people attended a taco dinner fundraiser at St. Agnes Parish Hall that night. After paying $10 each for dinner, the crowd swarmed over dozens of silent-auction items and purchased hundreds of raffle tickets toward other merchandise and services.
Barton, who was shot three times in the head by a deranged 40-year-old former firefighter on Oct. 29, has fought back with consistent, small but dramatic improvements daily – much to the relief of family, friends and supporters.
"We all thought he was going to die," said Corey Husted, Barton's close friend and fellow PLHS class of 2010 member.
Instead, Barton has improved to the point he is asking for one of his favorite treats: a frosty from Wendy's. He has also begged for coffee, able to sense the aroma when brought into his room by visitors. But ingesting regular food remains a distant goal.
For now, Barton's communication is restricted to faint whispering as doctors work to restore his vocal chords and other vital systems following crucial surgery to repair his skull and other procedures.
After two weeks in Scripps Mercy Hospital's intensive-care unit and another week of hospital care, Barton has advanced to the point he is beginning physical therapy and was moved last week to a temporary physical-therapy facility.
Here, Barton will work to build his strength before embarking on more strenuous therapy.
"They want him to be capable of doing three hours a day of physical therapy," said Barton's father, also named Will, during the fundraiser.
Well-wishers hovered around the elder Barton and Will's mother, Marie Najera, who both attended the event and thanked everyone for their help.
Event organizer Rhonda Pitta and a group of tireless volunteers spent days securing donated food items, silent auction and raffle items, all of which became much easier when Barton's story was first brought to the community's attention in an exclusive front-page story in the Nov. 15 Peninsula Beacon.
"When the Beacon story came out," Pitta told the crowd, "my phone started ringing day and night and donations soared."
Those donations included stays at local hotels and a spectacular Colorado condo, a custom surfboard, restaurant gift certificates up to $250 and other items. Dozens of items filled tables on both sides of the lengthy church hall and 50 additional items have been reserved for an upcoming January event, Pitta said.
Buyers were also generous, bidding all items well past their stated value. And one supporter, while checking out with about $300 in purchases, handed over a check for $500. Others handed checks to Pitta and other organizers throughout the night.
Pitta said every cent collected went to Barton's fund, and all meal items were donated.
Hodad's donated all the meats, while Stump's Market offered all other meal components. And a volunteer chef from the recently opened Burlap Restaurant in Del Mar played a huge role in the event, Pitta said.
Andrew Bent, a 2003 Pointer alum, brought barrels of avocados and specialty produce from Burlap, along with a $100 certificate to sister restaurant Gabardine in Point Loma.
PLHS alumni director Kim Jessop was also credited for informing thousands of former Pointers about the event.
The next fundraising event is set for Saturday, Jan. 19 from 3 to 9 p.m. at Humphreys on Shelter Island. Music will be performed by local band Temple of the Dads and two other groups to be announced.
Contributions are still being collected for the "Friends of Will Barton Fund" at Chase Bank, 1740 Rosecrans St., San Diego, 92106.
Items for a future silent auction and raffles are still being sought. Contact Rhonda Pitta: 959 Temple St., San Diego, 92106; (619) 248-1607; firstname.lastname@example.com.
To follow Barton's recovery on the family's blog, visit www.caringbridge.org/visit/willbarton/journal. Note: donations made to "Caring Bridge" do not go to offset Barton's medical expenses.

Zachary Carmichael's third-inning grand slam capped a 12-run explosion for the Mustangs as they easily defeated visiting Washington County, 14-1 last week.
Leading only 2–1 entering the inning, Dusty Puckett singled, Jacob Crouch doubled, driving in one, and Brice Stockton belted a two-run home run.
The Anderson County Middle School softball team ran its overall record to 14-8, finishing second in the Bluegrass Softball Conference Postseason tournament.
The team was the second seed heading into the tournament, based on regular-season conference standings. Friday, Anderson defeating Georgetown 12-0 in 3 innings.
Saturday, the Lady Mustangs faced off against the No. 3 seed, Bourbon County, going to extra innings before winning 12-11. Anderson scored seven runs in the bottom of the sixth to erase a six-run deficit.
The Anderson County Middle School baseball team won three of four games at home last week to raise its season record to 21 – 3.
Taking on St. Dominic for the third time this season, the Mustangs jumped out to an early lead and rolled to a 10-5 victory. Caleb Chambers and Brett Thompson combined to limit the visitors to only two hits while striking out four. Chris Toomey and Brice Stockton each scored twice. Dusty Puckett and Toomey each had two hits for the Mustangs.
The Anderson County Middle School baseball team scored come-from-behind victories over Marion County, 7-6, and Oldham County, then whipped St. Dominic last week to run their record to 18-2. Although they took an an early 2 - 0 lead over Marion, the Mustangs found themselves trailing 6 - 3 headed into their last at-bat in the bottom of the fifth inning. Catcher Brice Stockton singled, second baseman Josh Brown walked, and third baseman Christopher Sea's single brought in one run.
The Anderson County Middle School eighth-grade volleyball team was runner-up in its conference tournament, held April 15. Team members are, front row, from left: Ally Hayes, Taylor Phillips, Baylee McKenzie, Lizzie Jones, Regan Darst and Emily Couch. Middle row: Mattie Bowman, Emily Taulbee, Laiken Bowen, Kate Webb, Taylor Brock and Brittany Wilson. Back row: Amber Kelly, Taylor Owens, assistant coach Bob Hardin, Rebekah Cardwell, Ashley Moses, assistant coach Tanya Best, assistant coach Tanya Bowman, Katy Carmichael and head coach Bobby Hardin.
For the majority of this baseball season, pitching has been strength of the Anderson County Middle School baseball team.
It continued this week as the Mustangs added two more victories to their win total. Brette Thompson and Wesley Jorette combined to pitch seven innings of no-hit baseball at Georgetown Middle School last week.
The duo struck out seven and walked four in the 9 – 2 Mustang victory.
Tournament champions
The Anderson County Middle School baseball team capped a rain-shortened week with two victories. In a series best described as "the good, the bad, the ugly," the Mustangs managed wins over Springfield's St. Dominic's Knights and Bloomfield's Braves to raise their season record to 13 – 1.
If DeAndre Liggins' 3-point attempt in the final seconds had found the net on Saturday, Anderson County Middle School students might have had a lesson on the probability of the shot going down and the Kentucky Wildcats winning a national championship.
While Liggins' attempt was short and Connecticut moved on to Monday's NCAA championship game, teachers and students at the school were in big Final Four spirit during Friday's "Jorts Day" for seventh-graders.
The Anderson County Middle School Mustangs held their annual football banquet recently, celebrating a stellar 2010 season and two-year run as one of Kentucky's best middle school teams.

Scoop: ELEMENTARY on CBS - Today, January 16, 2014
Elementary stars Jonny Lee Miller as detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson in a modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks the NYPD's most impossible cases. Following his fall from grace in London and a stint in rehab, eccentric Sherlock escaped to Manhattan where his wealthy father forced him to live with his worst nightmare - a sober companion, Dr. Watson. A successful surgeon until she lost a patient and her license three years earlier, Watson viewed her new job as another opportunity to help people, as well as paying a penance. However, the Restless Sherlock was nothing like her previous clients. He informed her that none of her expertise as an addiction specialist applied to him and he had devised his own post-rehab regimen - resuming his work as a police consultant in New York City.
With no choice but to accompany her new charge on his jobs, Watson quickly realized she had a knack for playing investigator, and Sherlock found her medical background helpful. Sherlock's police contact, Captain Thomas Gregson, knew from previous experience working with Scotland Yard that Sherlock was brilliant at closing cases and eventually accepted the addition of Watson to his team. Sherlock and Watson work withDetective Marcus Bell, a top-notch investigator with sharp intuition and formidable interrogation skills. With the mischievous Sherlock Holmes running free in New York solving crime, it's simple deduction that he needs someone to keep him grounded, and it's Elementary that it's a job for Watson.

Cheeseburger Nachos with Special Sauce are everything you love about cheeseburgers, in nacho form!
I guess I'm not sure if this is something to brag about, but Ben and I are total nacho connoisseurs.
Right. While some people know wine, we know nachos. And wine, I suppose, but you know what I mean. Well, I guess we know what wines taste good to us, but does that make us actual wine connoisseurs?
After several years of hard work and dedication, we've successfully identified which restaurants and bars around town layer their nachos to achieve the optimal chip to toppings ratio, which ones serve the ideal mix of both shredded cheese and cheese sauce, and which ones top their tortilla chips with chicken that tastes like hot dogs and should be avoided at all costs.
It happened.
Anywho, while we love to seek out the very best our town has to offer, it's also fun to concoct plates of crunchy, hot and cheesy nachos in the comfort of our own kitchen.
Whether we line up fresh toppings nacho bar style, fill our chips to the brim with wacky ingredients, or even bake our own tortilla chips for an ultra-flavorful crunch, making our own nacho platter is little more budget and waistline friendly then ordering out every time we're hit with a hankering.
Not to mention, making nachos at home allows us to get creative with fun, fusion dishes like Cheeseburger Nachos with Special Sauce!
Oh yeah! All the makings of a yummy, fire-grilled cheeseburger with "special sauce" on crunchy, homemade flour tortilla chips. So freaking delish!
Cheeseburger Nachos with Special Sauce
Cheeseburger Nachos with Special Sauce are everything you love about cheeseburgers, in nacho form!
- 2 burrito-sized flour tortillas
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1 Tablespoon Thousand Island dressing
- 1/3lb lean ground beef
- salt & pepper
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- Toppings:
- shredded lettuce
- white onion, shredded
- tomato, chopped
- pickles, chopped
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut flour tortillas into 8 wedges each, then place on a foil-lined, non-stick sprayed baking sheet and spray the tops with more non-stick spray. Bake for 3-4 minutes, or until wedges are slightly toasted and just starting to turn golden brown.
- Meanwhile, place ground beef in a pan on the stovetop over medium-high heat, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder, and brown. Drain, then return to the pan.
- Mix together ketchup and Thousand Island dressing in a small bowl, then spread 1/2 teaspoon of the sauce onto each toasted tortilla wedge. Top with ground beef and cheddar cheese, then bake for 4-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
- Top hot nachos with optional toppings and serve immediately.

Ok, Cheeseburger Nachos were either going to work, or fail miserably, but guess what? They totally worked! I suppose all that taste testing to achieve nacho expert status paid off.
The nachos tasted exactly like a cheeseburger, complete with special sauce made from ketchup and Thousand Island dressing, and Ben and I each licked our plates clean. Total repeater!
In other news, I'm off to enjoy a glass of that aforementioned wine
I know so much about, with cold, fresh pineapple bobbing inside, while working on some freelance projects tonight. You know, just keepin' it classy!
Wine poll: Red, or white? During the week, or just for weekends?
I love a good cabernet, but prefer a not-too-sweet white in the hot spring and summer months. I also used to be adamant about not drinking a drop of alcohol during the week, since I get up so early, but I've found that one glass is a nice way to relax at night, and has no effect on me in the a.m.!

Your product is great. I had prostate surgery and it left me completely impotent. Pills no longer worked, but your product did. I was really skeptical when I ordered, but since I used it my wife and I are enjoying it greatly. This has brought our relationship back together into a stronger one and has completely restored my self confidence.
Thanks again,
F.S. - Illinois
I would just like to say that i have explored most of the possibilities of a cure for ED. i do not like the drug option because of expense and potential health risk. i am at risk for cardio vascular disease and thus heart attack because of my family history. in fact, my brother had a heart attack which was partially due to taking viagra. so one day, several years ago i accidently discovered the elator as a result of a online search via google. i decided to order the elator and give it a chance. i was not disappointed with the results. not only does the elator cure e.d. but it also allows a man to last as long as necessary in order to bring his partner to MULTIBLE orgasms. also, the elator allows a man to have sex with his partner as many times as her heart desires!! basicly, the elator transforms an average man into a super stud! i kid you not folks. any man who is having difficulty in the bedroom owes it to himself and his partner to aquire the elator. it is a life changing device. the look in your womans eyes after you fulfill her needs in the bedroom with use of the elator is priceless! the most importent thing when ordering the elator is proper sizing...it is critical. so be sure to order the measuring kit from theelator.com. good luck and happy trails.
John P. - Fairfield, IA
I suffer from Peyronie's condition (quite a marked curvature of the penis once erect) after a prostatectomy operation undergone several years ago. The Elator not only rectifies this condition, but my wife says she feels no discomfort while I am using it.
Thank you for a successful outcome all around.
I must say the Elator is a miracle! Very awesome and clever thinking. I am 56 years old and have had ED for at least 6 years. I have tried all kinds of treatments (viagra, cialis, hormone pills, injections, caverject) and none of them did any good, the only option was surgery in which I wasn't very willing. With the Elator my wife and I were able to achieve penetration during sex for the first time in 6 years. Though it slipped out a few times so I need to get a new shaft with a tighter girth, this was a big step for me which brought new hope, confidence and joy! I think I will also buy a tickle shaft very soon since the replacement shafts are a cheaper price.
Cem B.
I have tried the Elator for the first time a few days ago, I have found that this Elator is wonderful and worth its cost, It deserves 5 stars rating. It has solved all my problems, Life now is better than before. I will leave all the medicines I used to use before. I also used the premium silicone it is wonder full too and it lasts a very good period with a better performance.
Thanks for these great products.

Make it Rain -- Korean Singer Sued for $30 Mil!
Rain -- the so-called "Korean" Justin Timberlake -- is fast becoming better known to American fans for his lawsuits than his singing.
Rain, and a host of people in his camp, are being sued for bailing on a 2007 concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. According to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Andrew Kim had the rights to the proposed concert -- but he took a huge financial hit when Rain bailed.
Rain was also sued in 2007 for missing a gig in Hawaii, allegedly over trademark and technical issues.
Kim is seeking an astronomical $30,000,000 -- plus punitive damages.

POLYWOOD® Slat Options:
Plastique™ Slat Options:
CarePOLYWOOD® material is made of HDPE plastic resin that has been purified and UV protected. It is generally cared for and cleaned with soap and warm water. For certain stains and additional cleaning power, a 1/3 bleach and 2/3 water solution can be used on the product without affecting the color. Also, a popular method of cleaning is a high pressure power wash. (Not to exceed 1,500 psi, which is the equivalent of a car wash.) The surface characteristics of the product may require the use of a soft bristle brush to get into the creases.
The hardware used in the assembly and construction of our furniture is an 18-8 commercial grade stainless steel that has an additional Xylan® protective and cosmetic coating. Although the quality of the hardware has a high level of corrosive resistance, the hardware can show some sign of corrosion in salt air environments.
A practical solution to these signs of corrosion would be to wash the product with soap and water. Use a soft bristle brush to scrub the corroding areas of the hardware. Also, use appliance touch up paint in the appropriate color to protect the hardware. Appliance touch up paint can be purchased at local hardware stores.

SACRAMENTO (CBS/AP) – Gov. Jerry Brown warned of a "war of all against all" if the sniping factions in California politics did not compromise to fix the state's persistent budget problems.
Now the Democratic governor finds himself in the midst of a battle as he tries to persuade voters to pass Proposition 30, a $6 billion tax increase on the November ballot.
Brown's initiative to boost the statewide sales tax by a quarter-cent and income taxes for those earning $250,000 a year or more is in jeopardy after being hit hard by money from a wealthy brother and sister with politically polar views.
The slugfest is bad news for Brown's initiative and Proposition 38, a broadly based income tax increase proposal by attorney Molly Munger that would go directly to school districts.

A New Dawn for Cisco Hosted Collaboration Solution in Australia
CSC announced it is set to shake up communications in Australian enterprises with the release of UnifiedCommunicationsasaService (UCaaS) solution based on Cisco's HostedCollaborationSolution.
Hosted unified communications allow businesses to bring converged voice, mobile and data services to every user in their organisation. It's the natural next step for those organisations moving to a virtualised, cloud-based environment. Organisations will be able to consume their telephony, voicemail, conferencing and unified messaging technologies on a utility-based, per-user pricing model.
Services which previously required massive capital investment either as separate services or one unified service can now be rolled into one operating expense. What's more, a UCaaS solution presents significant savings against traditional Unified Communication deployments. It's a timely option, given businesses are now so focussed on cost efficiencies and reducing capital expenditure.
CSC has already deployed its UCaaS solution across numerous sectors including government and financial industry clients, plus pilot systems in the manufacturing, defence and chemical, energy and natural resources (CENR) verticals. CSC is also using UCaaS internally at two of its own customer call centres.
Together globally, CSC and Cisco are a powerful partnership and Cisco is delighted to be providing a market-first solution to Australia that is likely to change the way the local organisations consume communications.
CSC will launch the UCaaS to Australian clients through its unified communications service centre. With its flexible service delivery model, CSC will accommodate customer premises-based, CSC-hosted and hybrid deployments. It will also provide all the necessary hardware and software as part of the service or will manage customer-owned equipment.
Whatever the delivery model, services are supported at a per-seat, per-month fee and receive standard solution design and 24/7 support. UCaaS can provide Australian organisations with a previously unattainable level of clarity and certainty on their communications expenditure.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Does chemotherapy make you toxic?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am receiving chemotherapy and some of my friends are avoiding me because they say I am toxic. Is that true?
Carolyn Vachani RN, MSN, AOCN, OncoLink's Medical Correspondent, responds:
You cannot get toxic from your chemotherapy treatments, nor can you expose people to the chemotherapy by being near them. Many people do not understand cancer, and may withdraw from you because they are afraid of your illness and do not know what to do to help you. Others may worry that they will upset you by saying "the wrong thing."
You can help them better understand what you are going through by talking about your illness, your treatment, your needs, and your feelings. By talking openly, you can correct any misinformation they may have about cancer. You can also let people know that there is no single "right" thing to say, as long as they care about you. Once people know they can talk with you honestly, they may be more willing and able to open up and lend their support. Accepting help can be hard, but by allowing others to help, you are helping others deal with your illness. Perhaps your friends may want to come to your appointment with you to better understand what you are going through.
The National Cancer Institute publishes a booklet, which you may find helpful, called Taking Time. It offers advice for cancer patients and their families and friends about communicating with each another. You can get a copy of this booklet by calling the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237) or you can read it on the NCI's website.

(Spinacia oleracea) True spinach is very cold tolerant, one of the first crops planted at winter's end, as well as one of the last in early fall. In zone 6 and above, it's possible to harvest at least a few leaves occasionally all winter long, and farther north, it may be possible with row cover or high tunnels. We list some warm weather spinach substitute here as well, and these are quite the opposite: they yield abundant greens in summer's heat, when growing true spinach would be out of the question. Spinach, whether true or warm season substitutes, requires lots of nitrogen and water.
