Just a Toddler and a Basset Hound Having a Spirited Outdoor Dance Party
#t=36Actress Amy Bruni, known for her role as an investigator on Syfy’s Ghost Hunters, has been kind enough to share a cute video of her daughter, Charlotte, romping around with her best canine pal.
The pooch’s name is Zoe and she’s a rescue Basset Hound. She’s also — as you can clearly see — a pretty phenomenal dancer.

Seattle-based Mars Hill Church reeling after founding pastor calls women ‘homes’ for God's penis
Driscoll apologized and took a six-week leave of absence after it came to light he wrote a blog post patronizing women in 2001 under a pseudonym. His beliefs, written under the name William Wallace II, were detailed by a feminist blogger for Patheos.
"The first thing to know about your penis is, that despite the way it may see, it is not your penis," Driscoll allegedly wrote. "Ultimately, God created you and it is his penis. You are simply borrowing it for a while.
"While His penis is on loan you must admit that it is sort of just hanging out there very lonely as if it needed a home, sort of like a man wondering (sic) the streets looking for a house to live in," Driscoll's post continued. "Knowing that His penis would need a home, God created a woman to be your wife and when you marry her and look down you will notice that your wife is shaped differently than you and makes a very nice home."

40 million Americans now have student loan debt, average have 4 loans, avg balance = 29K
Carrying tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt has become the new normal.
Thanks to climbing tuition and inadequate college savings, 40 million Americans now have at least one outstanding student loan, according to new analysis from credit bureau Experian. That's up from 29 million consumers in 2008.
On average, borrowers are carrying roughly four student loans each, up from less than three in 2008. Meanwhile, the average balance has increased to $29,000 from $23,000.
That has helped to push nationwide student loan debt to an all-time record of $1.2 trillion, an 84% jump since the recession.
Unlike other kinds of debt, student lenders are continuing to dish out loans to borrowers so young they don't have proven financial track records or substantial credit histories.
"Student loans are the only credit vehicle where a lender continues to extend credit year after year without knowing the person's ability, or even willingness, to pay," said Michele Raneri, vice president of analytics at Experian.

OC Woman Allegedly on Meth Charged With DUI After Viral Video Shows Violent Confrontation
A neighbor’s video of the fight racked up more than 1.7 million views since it was posted Sunday by Sarah Oliver. It was titled “Neighbors from hell. Huntington Beach, CA.”
Cox was arrested in connection with the video, a Huntington Beach Police Department lieutenant told the Los Angeles Times, which described the victim as Cox’s boyfriend. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office said the victim, named only as “John Doe,” was Cox’s roommate.
In the 69-second video, apparently shot from a second-story window, a shirtless man is seen on his electric scooter stopped behind a pickup truck parked in an alley.
“Calm down and relax,” he cries to a woman in the truck’s driver’s seat.
She gets out of the truck, comes running up to him and screams directly into his ear, “Get the f*** out of my way!”
She slaps the truck’s tailgate and then knocks him off the scooter with a shove of her shoulder. He falls onto the concrete. She then gets into the truck and backs the vehicle up, partly running over the scooter.
------------------
Outside the courtroom, the man confirmed he was Cox’s boyfriend and told reporters that “nothing happened.”

The man in the video, however, defended his girlfriend of 20 years and told NBC4 that "there was no assault" and that the video looks much worse than it is.
"Do you see a mark on me? Do you see any marks on the scooter? If you actually really look at the video, she bumps me with her hip," the man said. "I think people have way to much idle time on their hands and too much to gossip about."
The man said that he is not planning to press any charges against Cox.

What does it take to live on a $4.93 per day 'food stamp budget?'
Your comments: What does it take to live on a $4.93 per day 'food stamp budget?'
Here's a look at some of the comments that readers have left regarding the SNAP Challenge. They have not been edited.

First of all, you can get bulk oatmeal @ .99/lb that is healthier and will last longer. Canned fruit is usually more expensive than fresh. Spaghetti sauce is cheaper if you make it yourself and better for you too. Rice and fresh veggies (farmer's markets sometimes double the SNAP amts.) can last for a couple of meals. There are many ways to stretch the food dollar and eat healthier at the same time.

Been there, done that, no longer need to once I got work going enough (again) to be able to live just fine & not hurt for income.
Had absolutely no issues keeping enough food going for the month, and there were a few times where I had a few bucks left to roll into the new month, or grab a little snack/treat when out.
All you have to do is go get a Costco or BJ's membership. $55 or so for the whole year. Drop 100-150 there each month and stock up, while leaving the balance for small/grocery store items that you may not need a lot of at times. Problem solved as the stocked up items can sometimes last months. AND you get to eat "good" as well!
Of course for those who are dead in the water and can't even drive or what have you....better get real creative because that's the name of the game. Alas until places like Stop & Shop can find a successful way to take EBT on orders (since you have to pay on delivery; maybe have hand-held scanners?) which would help many others shop easier, learn to shop savvy or you will get buried real fast.

Breakfest:
Couple eggs (50 cents), sausage (50 cents), and toast ( 10 cents) will cost you about $1.10. Cereal will cost even less.
Lunch
Grilled Cheese and chips will run you about $1.
Dinner
Chicken legs that serve 4, for $5.50. Frozen broccoli for .99 cents. Potatoes for about $1.50 to serve 4. So you can serve an entire family of 4 a legit dinner for about $8.00 (or $2 per person).
And I still have almost a buck leftover.
