We love grocery stores. Their stock and trade is food — fresh, frozen, canned or prepared — and kitchen staples like paper towels and laundry detergent. But there are a whole host of other items that cost a premium in grocery stores because of the “convenience” factor. You can get them cheaper at a discount department or hardware store, dollar store, or drug store so leave the following items off your shopping list:
1. Cookware and Kitchen Utensils
It may be convenient to pick up a frying pan while you’re buying your bacon, but you’ll be paying much more than you ought to for it.
2. Cosmetics, toiletries, and personal care items
It might save time to buy your lip-gloss, moisturizer, toothpaste, razor blades, and deodorant at the same time and place you’re getting your food, but you’ll be paying a premium price.
Plus: 15 Foods You Should Never Buy Again
3. Small appliances
Why buy a toaster for $40 when you can buy the same toaster for $20 dollars at a discount house? The same theory applies to coffee makers, electric tea kettles, and hot plates.
4. Party supplies
Buy your balloons, funny hats, place cards, candles, and name tags in bulk at a party supply store and you'll pay a whole lot less.
5. Batteries, light bulbs, extension cords
Again, these are pricey specialty items at the grocery store, but cheap impulse buys at a discount hardware, department, or dollar store!

Griffith Park
Here are some shots from Griffith Park's Travel Town and Observatory.
Travel Town is an outdoor pre-WWII train museum. Many of these trains where used for cargo, travel and military travel.
The Observatory is where you can go and get a spectacular view of the city and get up and close with the planets.
I highly recommend Griffith Park as a must visit in the Los Angeles area.

Herbig Family Tree (9/365)
Springton, South Australia (near the Adelaide Hills/Barossa Valley Border)
Our Daily Challenge group. Topic: Tree.
This tree was home to J. F. Herbig and later his family from 1855-1860. He arrived by ship in Port Adelaide in October 1855 from Gruenberg (now the Polish city of Zielona Gora), in Silesia, Prussia.
He made his home in the gnarled old hollow red gum, 20 feet wide at its base and standing some 70 feet high. Located near the bank of a stream which falls into the River Rhine, it was to be his dwelling for the next five years.
He lived alone in the tree until July 1858 when he was married and joined by his 18-year old wife Anna Caroline Rattery. 13 months later they had their first son. After the birth of their second son they built a pine and pug dwelling nearby. They went on to have a total of 16 children.
As of 2004, there were five families of their descendants who still lived in the area. They erected signs inside the tree and created the memorial (which this information comes from).

Is Olympic superheavy weight bronze medallist David Price being side-stepped by Brit rivals?
Frank Maloney insists he is running out of options for top British heavyweights to step up and face Olympic bronze medallist David Price, the 6ft 8in Liverpool boxer, whom the promoter assures will be ready to fight at world class level this year, but needs the giant hopeful to face the best in Britain first moving up in class.
Who next? Frank Maloney has found finding a top-class domestic opponent for David Price tough Photo: GETTY IMAGES
By Gareth A Davies 11:05AM GMT 05 Jan 2011
Price, 9-0 as a professional, returns to action at Brentwood Centre on Saturday Feb 5 yet finding a top-class domestic opponent has been problematic for Maloney to find to face the unbeaten 27-year-old.
Maloney listed Tyson Fury, the Mick Hennessy prospect, Audley Harrison, John McDermott, Larry Olubamiwo, Martin Rogan, Sam Sexton, Michael Sprott and Matt Skelton, as opponents who had been approached.
Maloney explained: “Skelton took the job, but has since been sent to prison and the only other boxers to offer encouragement were Sam Sexton and John McDermott.
“An offer was made to Sam’s promoter on Sunday, but he wants to get a win first and it is the same with John. Big Larry turned down the job when I promoted him, Sprott is waiting for a bigger offer for another fight, while Harrison and Rogan don’t want to know either. An offer were made to Fury, but I haven't heard back.”
Maloney added: “The heavyweight scene is wide open and this time next year, Pricey could be very close to a world title shot. David Haye is retiring in October and it would be no surprise if this was also the final year for Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko.”
The only name Britons Maloney hasn't approached is WBA heavyweight holder title David Haye and British and Commonwealth champion Dereck Chisora.
Maloney added: “Haye obviously has the Klitschkos to worry about and is adamant he’ll pack up in October. Chisora is also hopeful of a world title fight soon, but if that doesn’t come off we would take Del boy in a heart beat.”
Sam Webb (17-1), heads the Brentwood card, defending his British light-middleweight title against hard-hitting Bradley Pryce (31-8).

The Obama administration launched a bid to resolve a festering trade dispute with Mexico over allowing foreign truckers onto U.S. roads.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Washington would seek talks with Mexico over a U.S. ban on that country's trucks operating north of the border. The ban has prompted Mexico to slap punitive tariffs on some $2 billion in U.S. goods.

Getty Images
Mexican trucks enter the U.S. in March 2009, the month Washington ended a pilot program allowing them in.
Mr. LaHood sent a blueprint to Congress outlining principles the White House would push. Mr. Obama could end the ban without congressional approval, but he is seeking to get key Democrats and others on board.
The transportation secretary said a formal proposal could emerge in coming months, and another U.S. official said the goal was to have the nearly two-year-old ban lifted "as soon as possible."
A Mexican official said that while Mexico welcomed the proposal, it was "just an initiative" and would not yet prompt the country to lift the punitive tariffs. Mexico says the ban violates the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The White House move will anger some Democratic lawmakers and unions that have opposed lifting the ban on the grounds that Mexican trucks are unsafe and the move would kill U.S. jobs.
International Brotherhood of Teamsters President Jim Hoffa said Thursday he was "deeply disappointed" by the White House proposal.
"Why would the DOT propose to threaten U.S. truck drivers' and warehouse workers' jobs when unemployment is so high?" he said.
A congressional ally of the union, Rep. Peter DeFazio (D., Ore.), would call for a hearing on the matter, his spokeswoman said.
But the White House has been under increasing political and economic pressure to resolve the dispute. Mexico's retaliatory tariffs have hit dozens of American products, from apples to pork to pistachios. That has angered powerful U.S. industries and their congressional allies, who say thousands of U.S. jobs have been lost or jeopardized as a result.
Mexico is one of the U.S.'s biggest trade partners, and the spat has hampered the Obama administration's goal of expanding U.S. exports to create jobs.
"If we're going to double exports within five years, we must hold on to export markets, such as Mexico, where American companies are already doing well," said U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Thomas Donohue.
Gary Hufbauer, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a Washington think tank, said the move by the White House reflected a shift in the Obama administration's approach to free-trade issues.
"It's another tilt in the direction of pulling trade policy out of the basement, up into at least the first floor," Mr. Hubauer said.
He noted that the White House announcement came on the day that President Obama selected as his chief of staff William M. Daley, who helped the Clinton Administration push the North American Free Trade Agreement through Congress in the early 1990s.
Tensions over Mexican trucks operating in the U.S. heated up in early 2009 when Mr. Obama, shortly after taking office, signed legislation canceling a pilot program that had allowed Mexican trucks to carry cargo on U.S. roads.
The Teamsters union argued that Mexican trucks were unsafe, that some drivers didn't know English and that Mexican authorities didn't keep adequate safety records on drivers.
Mr. LaHood's blueprint says U.S. regulators will screen Mexican truckers for compliance with safety regulations, and keep tabs on their operations.

Built in the early 1800's for Dr. John R Bellamy. Their is a two story back section that may be on older house. This house was abandoned and neglected in the 1980's when it was moved about 1/4 mile to the campus of NC Wesleyan College and restored. I think it is now used for offices.
I thought they may have some lights on this house at night but I was wrong so I ended up taking a 15 second exposure.
It was still snowing a little but that didnt show up.

The Shwedagon Pagoda
Yangon, Myanmar. I don't think this is a local monk from Myanmar, but one on holiday as he is wearing different coloured robes.
he Shwedagon Pagoda or Paya is the single most important religious site in all of Myanmar. The pagoda stands on the top of Singuttara Hill, and, according to legend, that spot has been sacred since the beginning of time, just before our present world was created. At that time, five lotus buds popped up on the hill, each bud signifying the five Buddhas who would appear in the world and guide it to Nirvana. Gautama, the Buddha as we know him, is the fourth of these five (Maitreya, the fifth, will announce the end of the world with his appearance) and, according to the legend, two brothers brought eight hairs of the Buddha to be enshrined in this sacred location, inaugurating the Shwedagon Pagoda. Whatever the truth of the legend, verifiable history records a pagoda at the site since the 6th Century AD. Built and rebuilt, guilded and reguilded, almost nothing in the pagoda is likely to be old, except whatever is hidden deep inside the stupa. An earthquake (18th century) destroyed the upper half of the pagoda spire and many buildings. The British used the platform and the temples to house their soldiers and armory and, allegedly, made off with anything of value. And Burmese Buddhists are inherently practical people who constantly build and rebuild pagodas for merit.
Today, the pagoda is a magical place that most visitors to Yangon come again and again. Unlike other religious sites, it has at once a spiritual as well as a secular feel about it. Children run up and down singing songs, monks sit on the steps chatting, young men cast amorous glances at women, women stand around gossiping, all while others are deep in prayer in front of whatever shrine has significance for them. A sort of religious version of Times Square, the Shwedagon captures the essence of both the informal nature as well as the strong ties that signify the relationship that the Burmese have with their Buddhism. There is no other pagoda like it in Burma and there is no other place like the Shwedagon Pagoda in the world and visitors to Burma end up spending a lot of their time there.

The snow is sooo yesterday.
The city resumed limited garbage collection on Monday for the first time following the post-Christmas blizzard, but some elected officials and residents have already begun complaining that Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration has allowed too much refuse to pile up.
On streets throughout the city, the mounds of snow have been replaced with mounds of garbage, creating a new highly visible eyesore for the mayor.
Journal Community
Vote: How would you grade New York City's response to the blizzard?
"Today we started an aggressive approach to try to clean up the waste that has built up over the last week due to the snow storm," said John Doherty, commissioner of the Department of Sanitation, at a news conference in Foley Square in Lower Manhattan.
"During the course of the week, as we make our rounds, some people will get two pick-ups where they normally receive three, and some other people may get either one or two pick-ups where they receive twice-a-week collection," he said.
Mr. Doherty said he hopes the city will be "pretty well normal" on garbage collection by week's end, and he noted that a week is the longest the city has ever gone without collecting garbage. The city won't resume recycling collection until the weekend, at the earliest, he said.
"We ask the public to please get their garbage out in an area where the sanitation workers can get it easily so that we can move along," he said. "We've got a lot of work out there."
The commissioner estimated there was probably a little less than 50,000 tons of garbage waiting to be collected. But the cold temperatures mean the mounds of garbage, though unsightly, shouldn't pose a major health risk, Mr. Doherty said.
Although the mayor has taken responsibility for the slow snow cleanup, calling it inadequate and unacceptable, Mr. Doherty continued to defend his employees. "From my point of view they did an A-plus. From the public's point of view, we did probably a C-minus," he said.
City Council Member Letitia James, chairwoman of the council's Committee on Sanitation and Solid Waste Management, criticized Mr. Doherty for moving forward with limited garbage pick-up.

"Because the snow has melted thanks to Mother Nature," Ms. James said, "we should actually be doing full sanitation pick-up because the garbage here in central Brooklyn is mounting and we have rodent problems and raccoon problems."
In October, City Hall unveiled plans to demote 100 supervisors at the Department of Sanitation in hopes of saving money and boosting the number of sanitation workers available to pick up trash and plow snow. On Monday, Jason Post, a spokesman for Mr. Bloomberg, confirmed that 55 of those possible demotions have been suspended.
"We are hopeful we can negotiate savings with the union," Mr. Post said. The other 45 have already been demoted.
These demotions fueled intense anger at the department. Both Mr. Bloomberg and Mr. Doherty said they do not believe there was any deliberate effort by sanitation workers to botch the city's response to the blizzard, but the mayor has nevertheless ordered an investigation
Rose Gill Hearn, commissioner of the city's Department of Investigation, which is probing the possibility of a deliberate slowdown during the blizzard, said her agency has been working "24/7" on the probe.
The Sanitation Department has 400 fewer employees than it had two years ago. While the head of the sanitation union has suggested that the work force reduction contributed to the city's sluggish response to the storm, the mayor and Mr. Doherty have insisted that's not the case.
