Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:07:00 GMT

Keith Urban writes, "If I'm blessed enough to make it there, I look forward to you giving me the grand tour. Rest in peace George Jones!!!!!".

Miley Cyrus: "God bless Mr. Jones and his family. Especially Mrs.Nancy.... That was family ?? my fav record I AM WHAT I AM will be on repeat today." The star has a personal connection to the singer, with Miley's mum Tish explaining on her twitter account "So sad to hear about George Jones this morning. Ive been friends with his Nancy for many years.George was the sweetest man. RIP George"

Kid Rock: Country music lost a legend today. George Jones is one of the greatest of all time. Rest in peace my friend. - Kid Rock

Brad Paisley: “George Jones’ life is an example of so many wonderful things. How someone’s God-given gifts can make this a richer, better place. How one human being can overcome adversity, addiction, and life threatening obstacles time and time again. That it is not the stumble or fall that counts, but the willingness to stand again. How a keen sense of humor and a twinkle in a person’s eye can still prevail even after all of life’s hard knocks. How mistakes, missteps, and bad choices are not the end of the world if a person chooses to turn them into something good. And George’s life is above all the strongest example of how the love of a great woman can get a man through anything. All of this made its way beautifully into every note of the greatest voice country music will ever know. And one of the greatest friends you could ever have. We miss you already, George. Brad”

Dolly Parton: “My heart is absolutely broken. George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world. My heart goes out to Nancy and all his family and friends.”

Merle Haggard: “The world has lost the greatest country singer of all time. Amen.”

Easton Corbin: “I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of one of my all time heroes, George Jones. Georges’ music was real and he was able to touch thousands through his songs. Not only was he a great singer, but he also had the ability to make you relate to every one of his songs, no matter who you are. He and his music will remain timeless in the world of country music. My thoughts and prayers are with his family through this difficult time.”

Blake Shelton (via Twitter): Just landed in LA. Listened to “The King Is Gone” and “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes” over and over again just like always. Can’t accept it. Really REALLY bad news. We’ve lost a country music legend. And I’ve lost a hero and a friend. Goodbye George Jones…

Kelly Clarkson (via Twitter): Sad to hear about George Jones passing. That man touched a lot of lives with his music. Thanks for setting the bar for the rest of us. #RIPGeorgeJones

9. The police officer who bought shoes for a barefoot homeless man

Jennifer Foster was visiting Times Square on Nov. 14 when she snapped the heartwarming moment. Here's her account of what happened:

“Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him. The officer said, ‘I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you.’ The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man. The officer expected NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching*. I have been in law enforcement for 17 years. I was never so impressed in my life. I did not get the officer’s name. It is important, I think, for all of us to remember the real reason we are in this line of work. The reminder this officer gave to our profession in his presentation of human kindness has not been lost on myself or any of the Arizona law enforcement officials with whom this story has been shared.”

The Best Frozen Pizzas!

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:47:00 GMT

Taste Test: What Are The Best Frozen Pizzas from cheapism.com

The Best:
Freschetta Signature Pepperoni (purchase price: $5.99 for 27.35 ounces, or 22 cents an ounce) took top billing in the pepperoni category and earned the highest score overall. Panelists praised this pizza for being "well-balanced" and pinpointed "spicy pepperoni" and "flavorful sauce" as part of the pie's appeal. Every taster but one considered it good enough to buy and eat again.

Freschetta 4-Cheese Medley ($5.99 for 26.11 ounces, or 23 cents an ounce) rode a winning combination of "good crust," "complex" cheese flavor, and "tangy sauce" to the highest ranking among the cheese pizzas. While a couple of reviewers declared that the crust suffered from an "overpowering starch flavor," most feedback was positive, citing the "evenness" of the pizza's texture and the "nice balance of sauce and cheese."

The Good:
Trader Giotto's Pizza 4 Formaggi ($3.99 for 13.4 ounces, or 30 cents an ounce) is a Trader Joe's-brand pizza described by tasters as "different from the others." Some likened the "very cheesy" taste to beer cheese bread. They agreed that the pizza "looked uninteresting," but the "flavor was better than the appearance." Overall this "mild, not too salty" pie was the second-highest-rated cheese pizza.

DiGiorno Half & Half ($5 for 30 ounces, or 17 cents an ounce) features two kinds of pizza for the price of one, with plain cheese on one side and pepperoni on the other. The cheese half failed to stand out, but the pepperoni side grabbed the attention of tasters with "spicy pepperoni" and a "salty, saucy, savory" flavor profile. Granted, some called the sauce too sweet, the cheese too stiff, or the crust too chewy. But when the results were tallied, most panelists said they would eat this pizza again.
The Rest:
Red Baron Classic Crust 4 Cheese ($5.99 for 21.06 ounces, or 28 cents an ounce) was one of the priciest pizzas in the test, and in general the panel found that cost roughly correlated with taste. Not in this case, however. The rich, "golden" appearance of this cheesy pie gave way to decidedly lackluster flavor and middle-of-the-road scores.

Safeway Select Half Pepperoni & Half Cheese ($4.99 for 28.7 ounces, or 17 cents an ounce) made a good first impression, with its combination of two different kinds of pizza and a "fresh" appearance. But panelists didn't like the "wine-flavored sauce" and found that the "overly doughy" crust overpowered the toppings -- including the thick pepperoni, which could have used more spice.

Tony's Crispy Crust ($1.19 for 7.12 ounces, or 17 cents an ounce) perceptibly skimped on cheese and the portion of pepperoni could hardly be called generous. One panelist could taste nothing but "bread and salt." Where a couple of tasters embraced the "artificial" flavor of other cheap pies, this one somehow lacked the same inexplicable charm.

Trader Joe's Deep Dish Pepperoni ($3.99 for 16.5 ounces, or 24 cents an ounce) counted as a miss from a private label known for reasonably priced hits. Panelists found the messy pile of ingredients unappetizing and the sauce overly spiced. One of the few positives was a "great crust," which tasters described as "nice and crisp."

Totino's Party Pizza ($1 for about 10 ounces, or 10 cents an ounce) comes in cheese and pepperoni varieties, both of which left a bad taste in the mouths of most of the panelists. They described these bargain pizzas as "unappetizing," "cheap-tasting," and "artificial." With "slimy, stiff crust," a "strange tomato flavor," and "thin, grainy cheese," it's no wonder that the prevailing opinion was "yuck." Oddly, a few die-hard fans gave the pizza poor reviews but said they personally loved it all the same. When asked to explain the appeal, one admirer acknowledged that the quality is "not great," but the pizzas "remind me of college."

Spring Clean...YOUR CAR!

Mon, 25 Mar 2013 18:03:00 GMT

5 Spring Cleaning Tips For Your Car from associatedpress.com

1. Wash the underbody
Wintertime driving will coat the bottom of your car with salt, sand and other grime that can cause corrosion. Corrosion can lead to rust problems, which can make your car much harder to resell or even dangerous to drive. Spend a few extra dollars for the undercarriage power wash at the local car wash or spray the car's bottom with your own hose. If possible, use a car jack to raise the vehicle for a more thorough cleaning. There's no need to use soap or any other cleaner. While you're at it, open the hood and wipe down the engine with a soft mitt and soapy water. And remove all the leaves and debris that can find their way into the car. And remove any crusty white residue off the battery with a toothbrush, baking soda and water. The residue — caused by corrosion — can eventually prevent your car from starting. The cleaning also helps prepare the battery for the stress of warmer temperatures.

2. Scrub inside and out
Salt and sand can damage the car's paint. Give your car a thorough cleaning and wax it with a paste or liquid wax. Sprays don't clean as well. Scrub the bottoms of doors, which can get coated with grime. Clean the window channels, Also apply a silicone spray, which repels dirt and lubricates the surfaces so the windows will operate smoothly. Use a steam cleaner — you can rent one for $20 at Home Depot — or apply a rug-cleaning spray to remove all the salt from the car's inside. Salt can break down some fabrics and cause rips or tears when feet grind against them. And don't forget to take bags of salt and ice scrapers out of the trunk.

3. Replace wiper blades
Wiper blades get a workout during the winter months. Weathers advises changing them each spring and fall. Amazon.com's best-selling Bosch wiper blades go for $25 a pair.

4. Check tires
Some garages recommend a wheel alignment — which can cost around $80 — or a tire rotation as part of your spring maintenance. It's necessary as long as you're following the car's regular maintenance schedule and doing normal winter driving. Check your tire pressure. Cold weather can cause tires to be underinflated and the onset of warm weather can overinflate them. Also, visually inspect your tires to make sure they're wearing evenly and have plenty of tread for the rainy spring weather ahead. Driving on properly inflated tires can save you money. It can cost anywhere from $50 to $250 to replace a blown tire, depending on the kind of tire you need.

5. Check your fluids
Winter weather can deplete some fluids — especially windshield wiper fluid — more quickly, so top them off yourself if they're too low. A service station will also do the job for $25 or so. You should change your oil around every 5,000 miles regardless of season. Brake and transmission fluids should be checked as well.
