Terry Pratchett: 'Fantasy is uni-age'. Despite his Alzheimer's diagnosis, Terry Pratchett is still marvelling at the world and still writing.

BJ's Wholesale Club to accept food stamps. NATICK, Mass. - BJ's Wholesale Club says it will begin accepting electronic food stamp payments at all of its 180 stores. The Natick, Mass.-based chain said today that effective immediately, members can purchase food with government-issued food stamps through Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) payments.
Even those who are assigned to overseas installations where food stamps are not available can apply for FSSA, because the program is based upon household income and family size, not whether or not one is currently receiving food stamps. Families on food stamps who qualify for FSSA receive a monthly cash allowance equal to their food stamp amount. Those not on food stamps receive the amount of money required to bring their income to 130 percent of the federal poverty line, not to exceed $500.
