Fishing Licenses
A valid fishing license is required for all types of fishing on state waters. To fish in Montana, most anglers need two licenses: a Conservation License and a Fishing License.
A Conservation License is needed before you can buy any fishing or hunting license that Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP) issues. Conservation license applicants are required to provide their social security number in addition to the information usually requested. A valid driver's license or a valid photo ID is required to purchase a license.
A fishing license allows a person to fish for and possess any fish or aquatic invertebrate authorized by the state's fishing regulations. It is nontransferable and nonrefundable. The license enables one to fish from March 1 through the end of February of the following year.

We used to joke on the trading desk about how quickly lapdog analysts would come out and say, "The weakness is an opportunity to buy." They would pound the table to get people to purchase shares no matter how horrible the earnings transgression was. We used to say "here comes the B.O.," with the obvious implication that a buying opportunity stunk out loud.
But in this market, a market where forgiveness reigns supreme, weakness actually is often a buying opportunity.
Think back a month ago when Schlumberger (SLB) preannounced a weaker quarter because of pricing pressure on North America. We own the stock for Action Alerts PLUS, and when I sat down with co-portfolio manager Stephanie Link to talk about it, she immediately bet me $10 the stock would not only be above the $68 where it fell to immediately but above the $73 mark, where it was when the company preannounced the shortfall.
It traded at $79 today.
Lost that bet.
Accenture (ACN), at one time my favorite consulting company, recently reported earnings and gave an outlook that chilled me. It was simply inconceivable that a company of that consistent caliber could blow up the way it did. I felt so terrific that I had dodged that bullet when the stock flew down to $65 from $71. Today, it took out the level it was at before the hideous shortfall. Is it any wonder, then, that fellow consultant SAP (SAP), which also acknowledged weakness on its conference call, is now back where it was?
This pattern has now become ingrained. Starbucks (SBUX) reports a worrisome number, and Europe is the culprit. Howard Schultz, the terrific CEO, then comes on "Squawk on the Street" and pledges he will fix Europe and says that the turn is at hand. The stock reacts poorly and heads down to $49.
Then what happens? Schultz delivers on his promise, and the stock heads right to $57 today.
Procter & Gamble's (PG) Bob McDonald has a couple of disappointing quarters and then promises that those days are over and that he is going to deliver increased revenue with much lower costs. Very few believe him. Yet he does that just today, and PG soars to $73.
IBM (IBM) tells you that the previous quarter where it got smashed would be a one-time event and that the quarter would have been fine if a couple of big deals close. No one listens to the alibi, and the stock gets poleaxed from $211 to $185.
So what happens when the next quarter is reported? The deals did close, the business got better, and the stock is off to the races, up to $204, but it wouldn't shock me if it, too, soon took out the high it was at before the disappointment.
Many want to fight this tape. Others think that stocks are overvalued because they keep getting revised upward on little news.
To me, what people don't realize is that the environment has just plain gotten better. Think about the guest I had on "Mad Money" last night, Rick Hamada, from Avnet (AVT). When the company reported last, he had very little good to say. That negativism drove the stock down from $33 to about $27 and change when he came on and said that the business was fundamentally sound and that his company, which had been out of the market, came in and was buying stock because it was a terrific opportunity. Sure enough, the company reported yesterday, it was terrific, and yes, the stock went above where it was before the previous shortfall.
The moral? This market forgives, forgets and then goes higher. Which is why most of the weaknesses you see individual stocks are, indeed, buying opportunities.

Man charged with killing 1-year-old niece
BRISTOL (AP) -- A man has been charged with murder in the fatal stabbing of his 1-year-old niece while baby-sitting for her in Bristol.
Authorities responded to Park Street shortly before 7:30 p.m. Monday and encountered a resident running toward them carrying a child with a severe laceration to her stomach. Officers performed CPR on the girl, who later died at a hospital.
Police say the girl was Zaniyah Calloway. An 11-year-old child also was in the home but wasn't injured.
The girl's uncle, 36-year-old Arthur Hapgood of Waterbury, is detained on $1.5 million bail on charges including murder, reckless endangerment and risk of injury to a child. He's expected to be arraigned Tuesday in Bristol Superior Court. It's not clear if he has a lawyer.
The motive for the slashing isn't clear.

EDITORIAL: Assisted suicide legislation needs stronger safeguards
The issue of assisted suicide is worthy of debate in the General Assembly this year, but legislators should reject proposed legislation as it's currently written.
A bill modeled after laws in Oregon and Washington state would allow "terminally ill, mentally competent" people to obtain a prescription for a "lethal dose of medication" to end their lives.
In pondering the painful struggle of some terminally ill patients, it would be inhumane not to consider some kind of option such as this.
But implementation is another matter.
In theory, under the Connecticut law, the patient's ability to make sound decisions would be judged by his or her doctor, who would have discretion to decide whether a psychological exam was necessary.
Even if the law were to require a second doctor to sign off, this is life and death and there's no taking it back.
The diagnosis of terminal illness itself has been made in error before. The process should build in second opinions and more regarding the physical and mental condition of the patient.
Where one draws that line is a tricky proposition that deserves careful, deliberate study by the General Assembly. A good place to start is in seeking the counsel of hospice caregivers and mental health practitioners.
Unintended consequences should also be scrutinized. For example, a group pushing for nationwide passage of assisted suicide legislation estimates that only one-tenth of patients who obtain a lethal prescription under Oregon's assisted suicide law end up taking their lives. What happens to those unused prescriptions?
There ought to be some way for terminally ill patients in constant pain and suffering to die with dignity. But the state of Connecticut must go to great lengths in enacting safeguards before sanctioning it.

MONTREAL - You know that kid's game Where's Waldo?, where you search for that guy with the glasses and red-and-white striped shirt in different scenes among hordes of people? Well, I have a new game for you that's called "Where's Chuck?" as in: Where's Chuck Hughes?
The star of the cooking shows Chuck's Day Off and Chuck's Week Off, who famously went from busboy to chef to Food TV personality, seems to have vanished off the Montreal chef scene. I'm told he spends 10 days each month filming cooking shows in the United States and is exploring the possibility of opening a restaurant in — gasp! — Toronto. He also recently launched a French cookbook and is a judge on the new competition cooking show Chopped. Yet, save for his presence at the artist's tent feast-a-thon he cooks up at Osheaga annually, the Chuck Hughes spottings have been few.
Hughes may be flying below the radar of late, but his restaurants are going gangbusters. His first, Garde Manger, remains one of the toughest reservations to garner in Montreal. His second, Le Bremner, is also busy yet has been running hot and cold since it opened in the summer of 2011. Reviews have been mixed, but after the first year in business, an up-and-coming chef from the brigade by the catchy name of Danny Smiles took over as head chef. (Hughes remains executive chef and a partner at both restaurants.) Smiles rose from obscurity last year when he became a finalist on the third season of Top Chef Canada. Suddenl, people weren't talking so much about Le Bremner being "Chuck's other restaurant," but the place where that kid from Top Chef was cooking.
Set in a basement locale on St-Paul St. near the Bonsecours Market and identified only by the word "Restaurant," Le Bremner has 30 seats in the dining room, 10 at the bar, and another 25 on the terrasse come summertime. On the frosty Thursday night I dined there, the room was calm, cosy, candlelit and filled with predominantly Anglo diners. The background tunes were catchy and thankfully played at a lower volume than the music at Garde Manger. A friend describes Bremner as "too cool for school," yet I found the wait staff welcoming. Hip Garde Manger makes me feel ancient, but laid-back Bremner is right up my alley.
I began the night with a gin and tonic, with the tonic part being made in-house. All the flavoured sodas at Le Bremner are homemade, so you end up with something a little odd at times, but in a good way. Wine geeks are spoiled here, as the vino offerings are simply brilliant, with an impressive array of private imports sold at fair prices. The Alsatian Josmeyer Pinot Blanc we enjoyed with a first course of pristine West Coast oysters was a revelation.
As I remember, Le Bremner food ranges in style from American, to European, to Asian. The menu is divided into five sections (instead of the former seven): raw and fresh, vegetables, meat, fish, sugar. Though menu descriptions are curt (as in "snow crab kimchee" or "horse tartare"), the dishes are quite elaborate, and I knew that before the food hit the table because I almost went grey listening to our lovely waitress going on and on describing the house specials.
I like the shorter menu's more focused approach. And I also like that they ditched the plate-sharing format in favour of the standard three-course meal because — let's face facts — not everyone's up for sharing. But Smiles and Hughes still held on to the restaurant's simple style. If you enter Le Bremner looking for a gourmet experience, you'll be disappointed. This restaurant is a place to have a good time, and I don't mean dancing on the tables good time (like at Garde Manger), but simply to sit back, relax and enjoy good food, even eating it with your fingers if you like. Nothing here really rocked my gourmet world, but most everything was very good.
We began with those great oysters, followed by a beet salad. I've had my fill of beet salads, but this one was one of the best dishes of the night. Made with roasted white and golden beet cubes, beet chips, Dijon-marinated kale leaves, a sprinkling of breadcrumbs and a red beet butter underneath it all, this dish wowed because the beet offerings were so diverse and had a bright sweet flavour instead of the muddiness that can sometimes afflict this root vegetable. The cornbread and shrimp plate appetizer was less successful, though. Served drowned in light étouffée sauce, the shrimp were a treat. But the cornbread was too sweet, verging into dessert territory sweet. Ick.
The next course, lamb's neck cavatelli, won raves all around. Bathed in rich braising juices and filled with tender meat, the pasta was perfectly al dente, too. I would have liked a greater vegetable presence in the mix (if only to alleviate the guilt), but still, thumbs-up.
My favourite main was the deep-fried quail. Formerly presented in a small bucket, the dish now consists of three fried birds served with a ramekin of ranch dressing and a mound of red cabbage slaw. The quail was perfect — super-crisp and grease-free — and the ranch dressing made for the ideal accompaniment (to me, ranch dressing should really be served with everything). As for the slaw? Scrumptious.
The fish of the day, a filet of pan-seared wild striped bass, was another winner. Moist and creamy-textured, the fish was served with a Jerusalem artichoke purée and rapini, and topped with a 'nduja (think spicy sausage) beurre blanc. Frankly, I was so wrapped up in the pasta and quail that I didn't pay much attention to the fish. But the minute I got my fork in there I couldn't get it out. Once again, nothing overly sophisticated here — just good ingredients and solid cooking.
Desserts are on the piggy side at Le Bremner and certainly generous in portion. I liked the chocolate pot de crème topped with hazelnut foam and swirled with caramel, and the coconut cream tart was pretty good, too. But the best dessert is the stack of five fat pancakes, topped with Pimm's-spiked butter and served on a pool of liquid sucre à la crème. It's the kind of calorie-loaded dessert you hesitate to even taste yet end up fighting your dining companions to finish.
Ultimately my meal at Le Bremner felt like the sort of potluck dinner assembled by a bunch of foodie friends who can really cook. Combine the food with the house-party ambience, and you have the makings of one heck of a fun evening. Prices are steep, but the room is small, and a there's groovy little speakeasy vibe here that makes this place feel special.
And as for my Where's Waldo/Where's Chuck game? Maybe I should have looked in the kitchen. Chef Hughes, I found out later, was in the restaurant the whole time. But instead of hobnobbing with customers or having his picture taken with fans, he and Smiles were doing the cooking.
Under the radar, indeed.

Surprise! Dusseldorf Axe Attacker Who Injured 7 at Train Station is 'Mentally Ill' Muslim from Kosovo
The attacker was identified last night as Muslim Fatmir H. from Kosovo but authorities are not calling this a terror attack.
Seven people including two police officers were injured when a man wielding an axe went on the rampage at a train station in Dusseldorf.
The suspected culprit, identified as Fatmir H, from Kosovo, has been arrested and German anti-terror police confirmed they are not hunting anyone else.
The 36-year-old ran towards a nearby underground station and jumped from a bridge as he attempted to flee.
But he was arrested after seriously injuring himself in his unsuccessful escape attempt and is now being treated in hospital.
Police said he was in an 'exceptional mental state' at the time.
Pictures from Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof, the city's main station, showed one of the victims lying helplessly on the floor as paramedics rushed to their aid.
His victims included three men, a woman and a 13-year-old girl, with the teenager suffering lacerations to her upper arm. Three were seriously injured.
A motive for the attack has not yet been determined but the suspect, believed to be from Kosovo, suffers from mental health problems. Police said this morning that they had ruled out an Islamic fundamentalist motive for the attack.
Second MACHETE attack in Dusseldorf hours after axe rampage at city station
The incident comes just hours after seven people were left injured in Dusselford rail station after a man went on a rampage with an axe. Police say the attacks are not connected and have deployed more forces as the hunt gets underway.A spokesman said: "According to the current understanding, there is no connection with the yesterday's situation at the central station."Last night, Dusseldorf train station was placed on lockdown following the bloody rampage with a man armed with an axe.
A 36-year-old man, from Kosovo, was arrested following the attack.
Police idenitifed him as Fatmir H and described him as "mentally ill".

Next step for Obama library plans
The team responsible for helping Barack Obama build his presidential library moved into the next stage of planning on Thursday, as his foundation put out a request for institutions and other entities to indicate their interest in hosting the library.
The Barack H. Obama Foundation, launched in late January, "envisions a library that reflects President Obama's values and priorities throughout his career in public service, including expanding economic opportunity, inspiring an ethic of American citizenship, and promoting peace, justice, and dignity throughout the world," it said in a statement. The foundation is also hoping "to build a facility that will cultivate a strong relationship with the surrounding community and be an anchor for economic development."
"Our goal is to build a library of which the whole country, and hopefully the whole world, can be proud," foundation member and close Obama friend Marty Nesbitt said in a statement. "Our vision is to create a space that reflects President Obama's values and priorities throughout his career in public service and serves as force for good in the surrounding community and throughout our world."
( PHOTOS: Obama library College Bowl: The contenders)
Responses to the foundation's request for qualifications are due on June 16 and must include details of a potential site, access to transportation and information about the surrounding community. Those applicants deemed "most competitive" will be asked to provide more comprehensive information this summer in response to a request for proposals. Obama is expected to choose a site by early 2015.
Chicago is widely seen as the front-runner to host the library, and three major universities there — the University of Chicago, Chicago State University and the University of Illinois at Chicago — have all expressed interest in being affiliated with the library. Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama's first White House chief of staff, has said that he wants Chicago to submit just one proposal to the foundation. His office hasn't yet clarified how that plan will be crafted, but the University of Chicago has begun reaching out to potential collaborators.
Democrats in Springfield have proposed that the state of Illinois pitch in $100 million toward the project.
( Also on POLITICO: The fight for Obama's presidential library)
Columbia University, where Obama spent the second half of his undergraduate education, is also interested in hosting the library and is expected to make a bid. While the University of Hawaii and the state of Hawaii started lobbying for the library before Obama got to the White House, the state has scaled back its ambitions and instead hopes to host a presidential center that is affiliated with the library.
The foundation is led by three people with close ties to the president — Nesbitt, fundraiser Julianna Smoot and J. Kevin Poorman, the CEO of PSP Capital Partners, which was founded by Obama Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker.
The foundation will not accept donations from entities or organizations other than 501(c)(3)s. It will also refuse contributions from foreign nationals, registered foreign lobbyists and foreign agents. All contributions of $200 or more will be disclosed on a quarterly basis.

House Republicans, eager to avoid snatching defeat from the jaws of their tax-bill victory, passed a continuing resolution late Thursday to fund the government through January 19. The Senate is expected to vote tonight.
Here's what you need to know:
- The House also passed a separate $81 billion disaster relief bill.
- The stopgap funding measure waives automatic "PAYGO" spending cuts triggered by the GOP tax bill.
- The bill also provides $2.85 billion for the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that had its funding expire at the end of September. "For a $12 billion to $14 billion program, this provides less than $3 billion for what is effectively six months," the head of one child advocacy group told The New York Times.
- Kicking the can into next year leaves a lot of issues unresolved — and a lot of lawmakers unhappy. "The legislation will push back delicate decisions on spending, immigration, health care and national security," The Washington Post reports.
But lawmakers are eager to head home for the holidays. "We will get it all done today, and we will depart," House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said, according to the Post.

Fifteen years ago, Denver Investments in Denver, Colorado, received a large sum of money from the Minnesota-based Kevin J. Mossier foundation with the strict mandate that it should be invested solely in companies that both honored and adhered to employment equality, in line with what the late Mossier – a visionary gay entrepreneur, most known for founding the highly successful gay travel company RSVP Vacations – would have wanted.
At that time, though, the corporate sector was a totally different place than it is today.
There was no corporate equality index, says John Roberts, partner at Denver Investments. The National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce had not even been registered, so abiding by the foundation's mandate meant "that we had to just call companies up ourselves and ask them if they practiced workplace equality."
But that bottom-up process allowed Denver Investments to put together a list of companies that practiced true employment equality as it pertained to color, gender and sexual orientation, and based on a set of parameters drawn up over time by the investment firm. Through the years, the universe of companies has grown, so that today, when workplace equality is more or less a given (earlier this month, President Barack Obama signed an executive order that bars discrimination against LGBT federal employees), Denver Investment's list morphed into that which didn't exist 15 years ago: The Workplace Equality Index.
And now, there's an ETF based on that index, the Workplace Equality Portfolio (EQLT).
For inclusion in the index, companies must support LGBT equality and their Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) statement must not only prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, but should also offer health benefits and other corporate benefits to same-sex partners as they do to spouses of other employees.
But Denver Investments also screens companies for other factors such as bankruptcy and reorganization, and, Roberts says, for their investability, "because as money managers, we realize there's a very important trading element that has to figure, so we screen companies for liquidity and market capitalization and a host of other characteristics as well."
That approach proved to be so successful that Denver Investments launched the EQLT ETF based on the index earlier this year.
"We realized that the returns for the portfolios we were managing [based on the index] were better than for a lot of other portfolios and it got us thinking that there has to be something behind this, that there is something driving the returns," Roberts says.
That something, he believes, can't be measured or quantified through conventional financial metrics, but "after 15 years we can clearly see that companies that embrace equality, that are forward thinking and progressive and willing to treat their LGBT employees with dignity and respect, are much more productive, and that that means that the returns to their shareholders and stakeholders are much more competitive," Roberts says. "We've seen that 80% of the companies in our index are beating the peers in their sectors by a significant two digit number, so for us, there's a real business case for a company to practice employee equality."
The Workplace Equality Index currently has 164 companies, many of them large, household names such as Apple and Microsoft, Wells Fargo and Corning, representing a large swath of industries from consumer staples and consumer discretionary to materials and telecom companies.
As attitudes and mindsets continue to change, and the LGBT community gains greater acceptance and standing, Roberts expects that more companies will meet Denver Investments' parameters. The increased adoption of workplace equality and fairness willalso improve their business performance, which will in turn improve outcomes for anyone who deems employment equality an important investment consideration.

We Thank Thee, Lord, for Temples
1. We thank thee, Lord, for temples raised in holiness to thee,
Where we as fam'lies may be sealed for all eternity.
We thank thee for the sealing keys restored again to man,
Which bind with endless priesthood pow'r—oh, great eternal plan!
2. We thank thee, Lord, for knowledge gained in holy temples here,
For therein are thy grand designs and purposes made clear.
We thank thee, Lord, for eternal truths and covenants whereby
Thy faithful Saints may be endowed with power from on high.
3. We thank thee, Lord, for mercy shown unto our kindred dead,
That we their saviors may become and labor in their stead.
As living proxies we can see this saving work is done,
That they, if worthy, may receive thy kingdom, Holy One.
4. We thank thee, Lord, as temples now begin to dot the earth—
The shining symbol of our faith and of the gospel's worth.
For temple blessings now restored thy goodness, Lord, we praise,
Thrice shout hosanna to thy name, and grateful anthems raise!

Snap o' the day: Democracy in action
Ben Marchi is on the Americans for Prosperity bus as it travels the 5th District to protest Congressman Tom Perriello's healthcare reform vote. November 10 the bus pulled into the lot at Perriello's Charlottesville office. Marchi and the Jefferson Area Tea Party were met by counter-protesters, and the two groups traded chants of "Thank you, Tom" and "Tom must go."
Correction November 16: Ben Marchi's first name was inaccurate in the original post and has been corrected.

One Finger Riot, 'Freedom Song' – Free MP3 Download
Faris McReynolds is, for all intents and purposes, a successful L.A.-based visual artist. Despite consistently showing in galleries and selling his paintings, he felt his creativity was stifled. He found himself spending his hard-earned dollars on music equipment, and soon enough, he put two and two together. McReynolds quickly changed gears and started making music as One Finger Riot — a lot of music.
Almost as soon as he put the final touches on One Finger Riot's debut album, 'Come Drag Me Down,' McReynolds was already working on a follow-up, as well as another album with his side project, ExDetectives.
'Come Drag Me Down,' which landed a year ago via Post Planetary, explored the singer-songwriter's dissatisfaction as a visual artist. The songs, he said, are "about me hating my life as a painter."
Today, we're offering 'Freedom Song' for free download. Despite its slinky, electronic sound, McReynolds says his writing process actually started on piano and drew from world music, pop and hip-hop.
"The lyrics are about letting go of expectations," he told Diffuser.fm. "I always loved the title of Dinosaur Jr.'s 'Whatever's Cool With Me,' because it wasn't really clear what the statement really was. I really like the idea of an anthem that's saying something … else."

Types of Coupons
Discount Coupons
Don't want to pay full retail price for a new jacket or maybe that limited edition championship ping-pong table to put in the game room? Discount coupons are the way to go. Taking advantage of a discount can mean we are able to afford an item that may otherwise be too expensive.
Discount coupons generally work in one of two ways. The first is a monetary discount, such as "$100 Off Your Next Purchase." The second is a percentage discount like "50% Off Your Order." Discount coupons can be applied to anything from a specific product/model to storewide depending on the language of the coupon and the restrictions. Also pay attention if there is a minimum purchase to be made in order to get the discount.
Free Shipping Coupons
Okay, you found a great deal on what you want, but now you have to get your purchase to your home or office (or to a friend or family member as a gift – so nice of you!).
Free shipping coupons mean just that; free shipping. But don't expect next-day-air-freight just yet. Generally an online store will offer free shipping at its lowest tier of available shipping. This is usually ground transport and will take anywhere from a few days to a week or more to get to you depending on the distance your package has to cover. Read the restrictions on the free shipping deal and you'll most likely find "standard," "standard ground," or "economy" shipping is free with the offer. Changing the shipping speed to any other choice (expedited, overnight, priority, 2-day, etc.) will almost always cancel the free shipping offer, meaning you're in for a shipping fee.
Other common iterations of shipping coupons are shipping discounts (Half Price Shipping!) and free shipping with in-store pickup. The latter being when your purchase is shipped to a store near you and you go pick it up.
A word on when free shipping can be really helpful. It's always to your advantage to take the offer of a free shipping – you pay less to get that new pair of running shoes to your address. But there are some circumstances when free shipping coupons can save you big time. Heavy and bulky items (couches, weight sets, workout machines, appliances, large TVs, art work, rugs, etc.) most often need special care when being shipped and the merchant is likely to pass that bill right to you. But if they're offering free or discounted shipping, well then, you're covered.
Coupon Codes
A top secret code? No, not really. Coupon codes are simply a reference code such as "4FF678" or "VALDAY08" that you enter on a merchant's website to receive a special offer, discount, free shipping or other consideration. A web merchant will usually have a place for you to enter the coupon code when you add an item to your online shopping basket or proceed to the checkout portion of the site. Always be sure to enter the coupon code exactly as you see it in the offer. Otherwise the website may not honor the special. Think of it like a secret password to savings.
Promotional Codes
Promotional codes, promotion codes, and promo codes. Say that three times really fast. The only real difference between promo codes and coupon codes is the wording. Some websites will call them one, another site will call them something else. But don't be fooled! They are all great ways to save. It's as simple as that. Promotion codes operate in the same way a coupon code does – enter the code at checkout and you will receive the discount or special offer. Like coupon codes, be sure to enter the promo code exactly as you see it.
Expiring Coupons
You know that expiration date on the milk in the refrigerator? It's there for a reason. Coupon code and promo code expiration dates operate much the same way. Once the offer expires, that specific deal has gone sour as is no longer valid. Consider a coupon or promo code a window of opportunity – from when you find the deal until the deal expires. Get your order in on the website before the expiration date and you should be on your way to savings. And since most websites are automated for order taking you can usually count on having until 11:59pm on the last day of the offer to complete your purchase. Always check the expiration date and follow any other restrictions for the offer.
On a side note, no one wants an Internet full of expired coupons. Savings.com is doing its part. We quality check all the links and pull the expired deals as soon as they go sour. How disappointed would you be if you found the promotion you've been waiting for…only to find that it's expired when you visit the merchant's website? Not fun. Savings.com also allows users to participate in checking expiring coupons. Just sign up, log in, and away you go!
Now go check the date on the milk.
Grocery Coupons
Ah, the good 'ole grocery coupon. Where would we be without it? Credit this fella with helping to make coupons an accepted form of saving money. They've been around since the early 1900s and are still used today. Just as then, we now get them in the mail and at the store. They are also available online. Grocery coupons are like discount coupons – you save X amount when buy Z product. Just like other coupons, be sure to read the restrictions (the teensy tiny print at the bottom or on the back) because grocery promotions are often size and quantity specific, and have an expiration date.
There are two types of grocery coupons. The first is the grocer's own offer on a product. The second is a manufacturers coupon, where the maker of the food or dry good is offering a promotion. A grocer can also offer coupons on manufacturers' items.
Despite the popularity of grocery savings clubs where you sign up and save just by swiping your club card at checkout, printable grocery coupons are still in use and as popular as ever. Grocery coupons can offer discounts that go beyond the low price already marked in the aisles for club members.
Printable Coupons
Click, print and go. Printable coupons are just that – printable coupons. Search online for what you want, print the coupon at home, and take the printed coupon to a store and receive the advertised offer. This became so popular by the mid-1990s, it started an online coupon craze. Some websites now specialize in this type of offer and have extensive communities of printable coupon finders.
Some early security issues were a problem (counterfeit coupons, anyone?), but barcodes and promo codes on printable coupons solved that issue. Just be sure it's a print-and-take coupon before you rush off to the store, and not an online only offer. Also be sure to read the restrictions for the offer and print accordingly.
Paper Coupons
Think back to the very first coupon you ever saw as a child. Can you picture it? I can't either. But odds are that it was a paper coupon. They arrive in our mail, await us at the grocery store, look at us from the pages of newspapers and magazines, appear under the wipers on our cars, and can cover your fingers with newsprint. Since we've been cutting them out for nearly a century there's even a phrase for it, "clipping coupons."
Paper coupons are easy to use. Clip the coupon and go to the participating store to redeem the offer. Be sure to read the small print – those are the restrictions and will explain how to use the coupon. Paper coupons can be from a store or a manufacturer. If it is a manufacturer's coupon, make sure that the store you take it to is participating in the promotion.
This is the original incarnation of the coupon. Special thanks to the Coca Cola Company and C. W. Post, the Post cereals' founder, for their initial use of paper coupons as a marketing strategy in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Without you we'd all be paying retail prices!
Gift Certificates
Why not make your own? Think of the gift certificate as a discount that you can give to someone, only in this case you get to determine the value of that coupon. Also called gift vouchers and gift cards, gift certificates have no value until they are bought and issued. Put whatever amount you want, pay for it, and give it to whomever you want. Like coupons, gift certificates can be for a specific manufacturer, a specific store or a service. They can also be issued by one of the major credit card companies or a bank, in which case it is similar to a debit card. Some gift certificates can be handwritten in order to give them a personal touch. A number, bar code or magnetic strip on the gift card helps the issuer keep track of use and the remaining balance.
Be sure to read the fine print when buying or receiving gift certificates. Some lose value over time (monthly service charges or non-use fees) and others charge fees just for using the card or certificate that is then deducted from the balance. There may even be an expiration date.
Rebates are refunds. You just have to do a little paperwork. And be sure to do the paperwork! Only about 6 out of 10 consumers do.
By definition, a rebate is a marketing tool that allows advertisers to offer an appealing price to consumers without having to give the discount or savings at the time of purchase. Simply put, rebates are saving after-the-fact. For example, if the offer is "New Item, Only $350 After $50 Rebate!" you then buy the item at full price ($400), and $50 will be refunded to you. Just not right now. Here's why.
The most common forms of a refund are the mail-in and online rebate. After paying full price for an item, you just follow the instructions on the rebate form in order to claim the advertised refund. This usually involves filling out some paperwork either by hand or online that tells the manufacturer what you bought. Good thing you kept all those receipts and proofs of purchase, right? Some merchants will do this for you automatically at checkout in order to expedite the arrival of your refund. But don't hold your breath. A careful look at the fine print on some deals shows that many rebates take four weeks or more to be processed. Whatever the time period is, that's about how long you'll have to wait for your refund check to arrive.
You'll also find that a store will often offer a discount using a "manufacturer's rebate." All this means is that the store charges you full price, but it is the manufacturer that pays you the refund. Another reason to read the rebate literature carefully and send the necessary information to the right place.
Rebates are an interesting twist of marketing genius. They put the responsibility of collecting the special offer back in the hands of the consumer. If you don't fill out the rebate paperwork and send it in, you don't get the refund. By adding just one more step to saving on your purchase, advertisers know that not everyone who is eligible for a refund will apply for it. So be sure to do the paperwork, fill out any forms (in writing or online), cut out proofs of purchase…whatever it takes to get the rebate.
When filing a rebate, be sure to have the following nearby: receipt, proof of purchase (usually on the packaging), product title or number, model number, and serial number (usually on the product). You may have to mail some of these, either the original or a copy, with the refund paperwork.

NEH Chairman Jim Leach Continues the American Civility Tour in Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina
National Endowment for the Humanities Chairman Jim Leach continues his American Civility Tour with stops in Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina during the week of January 11–15, 2010.
Leach launched a fifty-state tour in November 2009 to call attention to the need for civility in public discourse. "Civilization requires civility," says Leach. "Words matter. Polarizing attitudes can jeopardize social cohesion."
Leach's next stops are:
- Tuesday, Jan. 12, in Tallahassee, Fla.: The Florida Humanities Council and Village Square welcome Leach to the Challenger Learning Center on Kleman Plaza. The event is from 7 to 8 p.m., free, and open to the public. For more information or to RSVP, call 850-509-5236 or visit www.tothevillagesquare.org/.
- Wednesday, Jan. 13, in Columbia, S.C.: The University of South Carolina hosts Leach as part of university president Harris Pastides's initiative on civility and discourse. Leach's lecture begins at 7 p.m. in Gambrell Hall Auditorium.
- Thursday, Jan. 14, in Charlotte, N.C.: The Levine Museum of the New South opens its doors for a talk by Leach that begins at 6 p.m. The event is co-hosted by the North Carolina Humanities Council and free and open to the public. Seating is limited, and reservations are required. To make reservations, call 704-333-1887, ext. 501, or e-mail @email.
Leach began his four-year term as NEH chairman in August 2009 after serving 30 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. As a congressman representing southeastern Iowa, he chaired the Banking and Financial Services Committee, the Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs and the Congressional-Executive Commission on China. He founded and co-chaired the Congressional Humanities Caucus.

It has been said that Apple's Siri is an important precursor to more advanced intelligent personal assistants. Eventually, it's thought, we'll be able to have actual conversations with these sorts of AI, and possibly even relationships. But as Laura June of The Verge has recently pointed out, Siri is not to be trusted — and the iPhone assistant's short descriptions of popular scifi films show why. Here's what Siri has to say about some of our favorite movies.

Hello to all,
I am an amateur astronomer (Ischia - Italy) and I am very happy with the birth of this new section dedicated to the research of novae.
I'm a fan of this field of research and for some years I dedicate myself to photographic research of novae.
I use a DSLR camera Canon 600D with lens Canon EF-S 18mm-55mm f/3.5 - 5.6 IS Zoom, mounted in parallel to the telescope on Eq6 Pro mount.
For my photographic research I use the maximum focal length 55mm f/5.6 with 60 seconds of exposure and ISO 800.
With this configuration I take large areas of the Milky Way 24x16 degrees down to magnitude 10.5-11.
Recently, however, I was thinking of buying a fixed focal length lens because everyone says that these lens are better than zoom. However, I am very undecided whether to take it and especially what to take.
First, I am undecided whether to take a 50mm lens or one with greater focal lenght, for example 85mm or 100mm. If I increase the focal length then I have to take many more images to cover the areas of research but, probably, I have a higher resolution and could increase magnitude limit.
However, if I decide to stay on the focal length of 50mm, I wonder if it's worth actually get one fixed focal length or continue with my zoom lens.
You who are definitely more experienced than me, can you give me some advice?
Best regards and clear skies.
