Coming of age
The throng of Vietnamese family and friends who spent their days around Dorchester Avenue - the Hub's little Little Saigon - sipping green tea or playing chess before they, too, departed. "We want to be buried next to each other," Nguyen says of his community. Precisely where his tomb will lie, Nguyen does not know. He has no burial plot in hand. "No money," Nguyen says in distinct English. But he wants it to be in a place that's as comfortable as a Buddhist flower garden, so that the presiding monk can feel totally at ease when he comes to Nguyen's grave and, abiding by tradition, sets his spirit free with powerful chants. With remains now dispersed among different graveyards, from the city to the suburbs, an informal group representing more than 300 Vietnamese elders like Nguyen is hoping to establish its own central burial ground in Boston, one with a price its members can squeeze into their strained budgets.

All my Delaware, Philly and South Jersey people, I have the low down on where Wendy Williams and Charlamange went! From what I heard, there is a lot of corporate and business wrangling over Wendy in the city of Brotherly Love on Power 99 FM. I don't have specifics, but they are looking to return to Philly's airwaves asap. The only thing is, it might not be on Power 99. You know, where Wendy goes, the people go. I am pleased to announced that according to what I know, Wendy and C are going to be landing in Los Angeles later this month. That's what Beyonce calls a good look better yet a hood look.

Prep boys basketball preview: McFarland's Walker tries to remain ...
Riley Walker's spirits were at an all-time low when an early morning phone call proved to be the perfect medicine. Walker, a 6-foot-5 senior forward on the McFarland boys basketball team, was reeling from a knee injury he had suffered several hours earlier during the second quarter of the Spartans' Badger South Conference opener against Verona last Friday night. But while Walker was still awake early Saturday morning, talking with his parents about the potential end to his senior season and the impact it would have on his college career, the family's home phone rang. With it came some good news that put his mind at ease. "It was a call about 1 a.m. from (UW-Milwaukee assistant) coach (Brian) Bidlingmyer," said Walker, who signed a national letter of intent on Nov.
Seven Extreme Ways to Save
In exchange for performing basic maintenance such as taking care of the yard and keeping the house clean while the owners are away, the house-sitter gets to live in the house rent-free. House-sitting lengths vary, but usually are from three months to a year at which point you must find another house-sitting opportunity. This can be an excellent way to reduce a big cost in a budget, especially if you live in an area with high rental and housing prices. Go without a cell phone: While it may seem impossible to live without a cell phone these days, it wasn't that long ago when virtually nobody had them. Not having a cell phone can be a lot less convenient when you can't reach your friends or other acquaintances in an instant, but it's still fairly easy to survive without one. This should reduce your expenses by about $70 per month according to a recent J.D.
