Not sure how long this will stay available but Fox is presenting the core of a Dave Ramsey Live Event. This runs about 50 minutes (i think the real events go 3-4 hours). Sarah and I have adopted the basic philosophy and it has served us well since going debt free (sans the house .. still working on that) 3 years ago.

Pretty cool stuff. Sarah and I both were awakened this morning by a 5.4 earthquake at around 5:40am local time (4:40 real time .. because DST is dumb .. thanks Abdul). It lasted 10–15 seconds and definitely rattled the place. It appears the epicenter was around 135 miles to the southwest of us.
Here’s the scoop:
Local Blogs i follow:
The last one that i recall was in the late ‘80s. I was in a car at the time so i didn’t feel that one but i remember everyone talking about it.
Update: looks like the USGS is saying it was a 5.2 now.
This caused quite the discussion in our office last week since it was quite the increase.
Three Hendricks County gas stations agreed to refund customers after Attorney General Steve Carter’s inquiries about excessive pricing last week.
A Speedway and two Marathon gas stations on U.S. 36 set prices at $4.09 a gallon for regular unleaded gasoline for a period of time last Friday, sparking complaints to the attorney general’s office. The stations agreed to provide customers with refunds of the difference between the market price at the time and the higher price — 70 cents a gallon.

Sarah and I were quite the cooks this weekend. On Saturday, I constructed a Lasagna that i think turned out pretty darn well. It should be plenty of food to eat for lunch through the week.
Here are some shots:
Sarah is a better cook than me and a bit more ambitious. 
And likes to indulge in the sweet tooth when her allergies allow. To help to this end i recently found and purchased what i thought would be the perfect cookbook, Vegan Cupcakes take over the world. The first shot at a vegan cupcake would be:
I won’t make reference to the fact that Sarah went straight for a cupcake with tequila in it 
. Here’s a shot of the finished product
Taste wise they were fantastic and the icing very much tasted like a Margartia. Successful implementation to specifications.
On Sunday we whipped out a Vegetarian Chili:
Very meaty for having no meat in it.

The world of the nonprofit organization is very complicated. Serving the community on usually very limited funding is quite enough, but the current Internal Revenue Code compounds this complexity with extensive and confusing regulations. The missions of these nonprofits can suffer as a result. The FairTax alleviates this burden.
Under the FairTax, the 34 pages of code that currently comprise Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code that defines tax exempt organizations is reduced to five sentences with a narrower, simpler definition. Nonprofits are no longer classified under one of 28 types of tax-exempt entities (under Section 501(c)) with different rules for each. A qualified nonprofit organization is a qualified nonprofit organization, and the rules are the same for all.
Donations to any nonprofit are tax exempt under the FairTax; whereas they are only exempt (deductible) when given to 501(c)(3) charitable, religious and educational organizations under the current laws. Donations to a 501(c)(4), such as FairTax.org, or other 501(c) nonprofit organizations are not deductible under current law.
Another very important change for nonprofits is that the FairTax repeals prohibitions on political activity. The nonprofit organization will no longer have to go through the significant trouble of setting up a sister organization to provide the lobbying efforts needed to further the company’s mission. The nonprofit will no longer have to worry about losing its tax status, and therefore much of its funding opportunity, if it chooses to become politically involved or support an organization that is, such as a business association.
The world of the nonprofit organization is very complicated, and will probably always be. There will always be funding concerns. There will always be need to figure out how to maximize resources to best fulfill the organizations mission. But under the FairTax, the Internal Revenue Code is no longer adding to the complexity. Nonprofit organizations and their benefactors will be free to focus on serving their communities however they deem most appropriate.
