Dollars and Sense: Soaring Gas Prices

As oil prices rise, an increasing portion of the family budget has to be set aside for gas money. Phil Flynn, Senior Market Analyst at Alaron Trading, helps make sense of the soaring prices and shares some tips for saving pennies at the pump.

Texas Rattlesnake Rancher Arrested for Selling Snake Vodka

A rattlesnake rancher who calls himself Bayou Bob found a new way to make money: Stick a rattler inside a bottle of vodka and market the concoction as an "ancient Asian elixir."

But Bayou Bob Popplewell's bright idea appears to have landed him on the wrong side of the law. That's because he has no liquor license.

Popplewell surrendered to authorities Monday and spent about 10 minutes in jail. That's after the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission obtained arrest warrants on misdemeanor charges of selling alcohol without a license and possessing alcohol with intent to sell.

If convicted, he faces up to a year in jail and $1,000 in fines.

Popplewell says he'll fight the charges. He says his intent isn't to sell an alcoholic beverage but a healing tonic.


Texas rattlesnake rancher arrested for selling snake vodka

SANTO, Texas -- A rattlesnake rancher who calls himself Bayou Bob found a new way to make money: Stick a rattler inside a bottle of vodka and market the concoction as an "ancient Asian elixir."

But Bayou Bob Popplewell's bright idea appears to have landed him on the wrong side of the law, because he has no liquor license.

Popplewell, who has raised rattlesnakes and turtles at Bayou Bob's Brazos River Rattlesnake Ranch for more than two decades, surrendered to authorities Monday. He spent about 10 minutes in jail after the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission obtained arrest warrants on misdemeanor charges of selling alcohol without a license and possessing alcohol with intent to sell.

If convicted, he faces up to a year in jail and $1,000 in fines.

Popplewell said he will fight the charges.


Returning Kiwis avoid property

Kiwis coming home are refusing to put their hard-earned British pounds into the local housing market, says a leading international recruitment agency working with top executives coming back from the UK.

"Returnees are no longer rushing into a house purchase, and are happy to wait for the market to find a new level and the kiwi to weaken," says Richard Manthel, local managing director of finance and management recruitment firm Robert Walters.

With 5000 ex-pats on his database, Manthel is hearing this message loud and clear at information seminars in London run for returning Kiwis and potential migrants.

The New Zealand dollar, at its current levels, is giving a lot of angst to Kiwis working in the UK and wanting to come back, he says.

"Looking at returning Kiwis, a few years ago they'd charge back, buy a place and it would appreciate."

Now they are sitting on their hands because of currency concerns - the British pound to kiwi conversion rate at the moment is just under 2.5, a marked contrast from its more usual three dollars to the pound.
