		<description><![CDATA[At a recent beer shopping spree, one of the items I picked up was a 12 oz bottle of Tangerine Wheat beer from Lost Coast Brewery. As I’m a huge fan of citrusy beers, this one sounded like a sure winner. After cracking it open, we&#8217;re greeted with a sweet aroma of tangerine, which is perhaps more pleasant than the taste. The cloudy orange color is unique and attractive. Let&#8217;s look at the label before we taste it.
The bottle itself has an interesting cartoon of a large tangerine character, wearing a suit at that, standing a field of wheat. For the “tale of the tape” we find the following info on the bottle:
Alcohol by volume
5.0%
Brewery
Lost Coast Brewery &#38; Cafe
617 4th Street, Eureka California
“A crisp citrus beer with a Hint of tangerine”
Bottle size
12oz
Where Purchased
Total Wine &#38; More, Henderson NV
What I found most unusual about this beer is that their slogan says ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Photos such as Find the Cat or Find the Human are increasing in popularity online, especially on social media sites such as Facebook where they can be shared with friends. While most of these photos are relatively easy to decode, we found this one especially crafty, taking us several minutes to figure it out. This picture of a forest supposedly has a face hidden in it, but this face is not readily apparent. Trust us &#8211; it&#8217;s there!
Let&#8217;s take a look at the original.
After reviewing it for several minutes, I was looking for shadowy figures, optical illusions, etc. Only when I finally noticed a pair of eyes peering through the leaves did I finally see the human face, as revealed below.

		<description><![CDATA[A recent trip to the Total Wine &#38; More here in Las Vegas found the Waffles crew with an inordinate amount of craft beer to taste, so we decided we’d give our take on what we picked up. We are by no means experts or beer snobs, but we love trying new brews. So first up on our docket is Moosbacher Weissbier. Two things prompted us to grab this one from the shelf: The fact that it’s a wheat beer, and that awesome swing-top bottle. So maybe there are better reasons to choose a beer, but that’s what we went with here, and we&#8217;re sticking with it.
Looking at the bottle itself, we find the following info:
Brewery
Private Landbrauerei Scheuerer
Alc/Vol
4.7%
Additional Label info


Product of Bavaria, Germany


Moosbach Germany 92709
Imported by Eurobrew, Inc. Ashland, MA 01721


www.eurobrews.com

&#160;
The reviews are rather lackluster on the beer. Personally, I thought it was pretty good, definitely worth trying.
It’s a crisp, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The current state of the economy has been particularly hard on parents with young children. These families are often forced to decide between a two-income family with children in daycare, or a single-income family and surviving on meager means.
On the front lines of this constant struggle are child care facilities themselves, who are also attempting to balance between keeping their doors open and accommodating families in this extended recession.
So we sat down with Tony Foskey from Children’s Friend Learning Centers, Inc., with locations throughout Georgia, and asked him to shed some light on the child care industry for us.
WAN: Tell us a little about Children’s Friend Learning Centers and the chid care industry.
CF: The child care industry is extremely fragmented.  The largest provider, Kindercare controls an estimated 1% of the industry.
Wikipedia states “In general, the geographic limitations and the diversity in type of daycare providers make child daycare a highly ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m Mr. Spreadsheet, so this weight loss tip is chock-full of bias. On the other hand, it has worked for me, so perhaps it can work for you.
My first big weight loss epiphany occurred 10 years ago. I was about 40 pounds overweight and knew it was time to do something. I&#8217;m of the opinion that if you&#8217;re going to do something as important and daunting as losing weight, you have to do it full-throttle. You&#8217;re either all-in or you&#8217;re off the wagon. That&#8217;s how I see it. So what I did then, and continue to do now whenever I feel I need to re-focus, is to keep a spreadsheet of everything related to weight-loss. Such items include:
Calories
I firmly believe that&#8217;s it&#8217;s a lot easier to avoid a couple of hundred extra calories than to burn them off later. Have you ever seen how long it takes to burn 100 ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Craft beer has become a phenomenon in recent years and in fact yours truly here at Wafflesatnoon has become a sort of recent craft beer fan convert, hopping comfortably on the bandwagon. The more I&#8217;ve learned about craft beer, the more fascinating it becomes&#8230; And the more questions I have. So I decided to seek answers from those who originally showed me the craft beer light, namely the beer fanatics at Cosmo&#8217;s Beer Blog. We asked Mike, one of the contributors, to sit down and clarify a few questions about the hobby for us.
Waffles: Why do you think craft beer has suddenly become such a phenomenon? Or has the rise in popularity been as sudden as it seems?
Mike: I think the surge of interest in craft beer has been coming for a long time. The beer market has been dominated by the same macro-brewing companies since the end of prohibition, and these ...]]></description>

Telemarketer
While we can&#8217;t seem to verify the exact product being sold, you can rest assured that this is nothing more than an annoying telemarketer attempting to make their quota by bothering you. Different sources have cited different flavors of spam here, so we can&#8217;t confirm yet what they are selling. Most likely it is the dreaded free cruise giveaway, a debt consolidation promotion, or  possibly a home security system. Since all of these are well-known, ubiquitous telemarketing spam, it doesn&#8217;t really matter which one they&#8217;re pushing does it?
The biggest red flag is that when you attempt to call the number back, you won&#8217;t get through. I have gotten a busy and a &#8220;no ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So you received a call saying you&#8217;ve won a free cruise, or that you&#8217;ll earn a free cruise by answering some survey questions? Sounds too good to be true, right? We&#8217;ve already written extensively about specific phone numbers that have been calling with such offers over the past six months, but we thought it was time to discuss the scam in general, and provide a master list of numbers we&#8217;ve tracked so far about the scam.
You may be asking, if they give away a free cruise, maybe it&#8217;s worth answering the survey, right? The problem is, it isn&#8217;t really free, and in some cases there&#8217;s not really a prize at all. Yep &#8211; they get your survey answers, and you get a runaround that doesn&#8217;t always include a cruise. In other cases, I&#8217;ve heard of a cruise existing, but with hidden fees thrown in that doesn&#8217;t quite make it free, ...]]></description>

Financial Telemarketer
This number is apparently being used by a telemarketer for a variety of products, none of them worth your time. It could be for a &#8220;free&#8221; cruise, debt management, mortgage, home security, sweepstakes, or any other BS they can dream up. It&#8217;s doubtful anyone calling from this number has anything legitimate to say, and typically the call is automated anyway. It&#8217;s also usually just a robot calling.
Ignore them people.
By the way, you can&#8217;t call them back with your caller ID blocked, or you&#8217;ll get the following message with a computer-generated voice:
We&#8217;re sorry but we are unable to determine the telephone number you are calling from. Please call back with any call blocking features ...]]></description>

Survey Telemarketer
This place will call you and tell you via an automated message that you&#8217;ve been selected to conduct a survey about the national debt. For your time in taking the survey, you&#8217;ll receive a travel-related prize, such as a cruise to the Bahamas. This isn&#8217;t the first number we&#8217;ve covered about this. In fact, this survey-for-cruise spam is absolutely rampant. In late 2011, they were spamming the country with a string of 503 area code numbers. Now we are seeing this 202 number. There&#8217;s a chance this is a different company than those 503 lines, but the result is the same &#8211; some bogus cruise for a survey.
The caller ID may look official, ...]]></description>
