If there are two on the same circuit and one trips it could cause confusion as to which one is at fault.

I didn't know my dad had Candida.
I was reading a chapter on 'Oral Thrush' when it hit me. All those years that my father's morning routine consisted of him waking up and spending the next 15 minutes in the bathroom spitting out all the white gloop that had accumulated in his mouth overnight was in actuality 'Oral Thrush'. It didn't occur to me at the time that it might be a condition of some sort.
It's kinda gross, I know. My father however was NOT the Poster Child of Health. More like the prince of self indulgence and boy did he have a sweet tooth. I am not saying this to scare you, but the truth of the matter is that my dad ate what he wanted, when he wanted and be damned any self control.
He also died at the ripe old age of 63. I recognized early on that if I didn't man up….err….woman up as an adult and take responsibility for the fact that what I ate DID in fact affect my overall health that I could look forward to some serious health issues.
I don't believe that 'it runs in the family' is the reason I myself also contracted an imbalance of good vs bad yeast in my body. More like 'familial bad habits' that I need to admit to and address.

Gumball 3000 meets the police
Last night the Gumball rally arrived on the mainland after departing from London on Sunday afternoon. The Dutch police managed to take the drivers license of 7 Gumball drives. The drivers were racing with speeds over 200 kilometers per hour and as a fine doesn't help a lot for these wealthy men, the police decided to take their drivers license. The police also took 2 cars, one of them is a Porsche 997 Turbo from Team 73 Devil Fish.
The Dutch police used 14 police vehicles and 7 undercover vehicles for the pursuit of the rally drivers. Checks were held at highways A1, A2 and A27 in the Netherlands. Rapper Xzibit wasn't lucky, he had to hand over his drivers license to the police so his co-driver had to take over the wheel. Not bad if you keep in mind their was is a Lamborghini Gallardo.
The story isn't over yet. The German police had set up a trap 100 kilometers ahead of Frankfurt Hahn airport. Almost all Gumballers were stopped there. You can find pictures of the German trap here.

One-to-one-or-more relationships
How should one enforce/implement one-to-one-or-more relationships? For example, suppose I want enforce the rule that an Invoice carries one or more, i.e. not zero, Invoice Items. Most DB products seems to support only one-to-zero-or-more constraints natively.
The problem with this kind of relationship (1 to 1 or more) is due to a fundamental difference between business constraints and logical constraints. The business world can have objects like invoices where a valid invoice must have at least one detail line. Even in this case, an empty invoice still has to exist at least momentarily after creation except in a seriously contrived example. Relational databases are based on set theory, and the empty set is a subset of every real set. There are theoretical sets where this isn't the case, but no set can exist in the real world that doesn't have the empty set as one of its subsets.
From the standpoint of DRI (Declarative Referential Integrity), I don't know of any way to prevent an invoice without a detail line without denormalization of the tables.
My first question when presented with a case like this has to be since any logical design has to permit an invoice without detail lines in order to allow invoices to be created, how much work are you willing to do to make life difficult? An invoice without detail lines is essentially a Null invoice, so it shouldn't hurt anything.
In my opinion, the best way to deal with this is to have the client application manage the issue for you. If no detail lines are written in the invoice creation, just rollback the "new invoice" transaction. There are products such as ErWin that will "automagically" write triggers to support this kind of cardinality, but I see them as problematic instead of helpful due to the logical limitations that these triggers imply.

LA VERNE, Calif. — The University of La Verne football team landed six players on the 2017 All-SCIAC team the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference announced Tuesday morning.
Defense lineman Austin Brown and punter Russell Boucher both earned first team honors. Offensive linemen Michael Brown and Tyler Baeza, and defensive backs Torii Hilbert and Jose Aguero all earned spots on the All-SCIAC Second team.
Austin Brown finished the year with 28 tackles, 17 in SCIAC play, 7.5 tackles for losses, and 1.5 sacks on a defense that gave up the fewest yards per game in the SCIAC (383.3), tied for second in the conference in total sacks (16), and ranked third in rush defense. Brown forced a safety against the Panthers when he sacked quarterback Ricky Bautista.
Boucher proved to be one of the best punters in the nation this season. The senior, who also finished the year with 149 receiving yards and three touchdowns, ranks fifth in the nation with an average punt of 41.8 yards. Boucher landed nine punts inside the 20 yard line throughout the course of the season. Boucher made his biggest impact on field position in the Leopards' 28-27 win over Cal Lutheran when he pinned three kicks inside the 20, including a coffin corner kick, and another 68 yard bomb to help protect a one point lead with under four minutes to play.
Michael Brown and Beaza led the way for the Leopards' offensive unit that rushed for over a 1000 yards and 14 touchdowns in SCIAC play. They capped off the season by dominating the Whittier front seven, clearing the way for 423 yards on the ground.
Hilbert and Aguero created headaches in the secondary for opposing quarterbacks. Hilbert's biggest play came on a pick-six against the Kingsmen that set up a La Verne comeback. Aguero ranked second on the Leopards' squad with 46 tackles and tied for first with two interceptions. The Los Angeles native had his biggest individual performance against Pomona-Pitzer where he picked off a pass and blocked a field goal that he took back to the house.
The Leopards finished their 2017 campaign 3-5 overall and 2-4 in SCIAC play.

15 November
Jesus wept. (John 11:35, ESV)
Those tiny drops of humanity; those round wet balls of fluid that tumble from our eyes, creep down our cheeks, and splash on the floor of our hearts; these are miniature messengers, on call 24 hours a day to substitute for crippled words. They drip, drop, and pour from the corner of our souls, carrying with them the deepest emotions we possess. Somehow the idea has risen that Soldiers are not supposed to weep. If somebody like Jesus can cry, we most certainly shed some tears.
Prayer: Lord, you are my example for all areas of life.

The new assertion is based on a radio survey of a giant molecular cloud filled with recently formed stars in the constellation Perseus, and a mathematical model that can explain the Perseus observations only if all sunlike stars are born with a companion.
"We are saying, yes, there probably was a Nemesis, a long time ago," said co-author Steven Stahler, a UC Berkeley research astronomer.
"We ran a series of statistical models to see if we could account for the relative populations of young single stars and binaries of all separations in the Perseus molecular cloud, and the only model that could reproduce the data was one in which all stars form initially as wide binaries. These systems then either shrink or break apart within a million years."...
Using these data, Sadavoy and Stahler discovered that all of the widely separated binary systems - those with stars separated by more than 500 AU - were very young systems, containing two Class 0 stars. These systems also tended to be aligned with the long axis of the egg-shaped dense core. The slightly older Class I binary stars were closer together, many separated by about 200 AU, and showed no tendency to align along the egg's axis.
Stars Are Born in Pairs

That last bit of info about them lining up with the long axis of the "egg shaped dense core" suggested to me that perhaps the foci of the egg are the points of condensation that form stars, and it's the shape of this 'star factory' that produces pairs, not that ALL stars are produced in pairs.. Reading the link, that's apparently the case, but I'm wondering how they know most star factories are egg shaped? Most nebulae are rather irregular visually- perhaps in other parts of the spectrum they reveal egg shaped cores?
- james said...
I assume the actual star-forming cores are embedded in the big clouds. Little bitty knots of stuff--compared to the big cloud. But this finding, if it pans out, suggests to me that the star forming cloud is bigger than we thought, and probably has a pretty large angular momentum to it.

Jenkintown condos Foreclosures
Jenkintown is a borough in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, about 10 miles (16 km) north of Center City Philadelphia. "Jenkintown" is also used to describe a number of neighborhoods surrounding the borough, which also are known by names such as Meadowbrook, Rydal, Crosswicks, Fox Chase Manor, Jenkintown Manor, Noble, and Switchville. While the post office will deliver "Jenkintown"-addressed mail to these areas, they are not part of the political entity of Jenkintown; they are within Abington Township. Jenkintown is surrounded by Abington Township to the north, west, and east, and borders Cheltenham Township to the south.
The community was named for Stephen Jenkins, a Welsh pioneer settler.
The Borough of Jenkintown is located just outside Philadelphia along the Route 611 corridor between Abington and Cheltenham Townships. The Borough was settled in about 1697 and incorporated on December 8, 1874 when approximately 248 acres (1.00 km2) was taken from Abington Township. Today, the Borough is approximately 0.58 square miles and is home to 4,500 residents.
The Borough is a mostly residential community that is separated into East and West by the Business District that runs along and surrounds Old York Road (Route 611) corridor. On the east side of Old York Road, residential development is predominantly characterized by larger detached single-family homes on lots larger than the Borough average. On the southeast side of York Road, there is a small mixed concentration of row homes, duplexes, and single-family residences.

Hi Amelia,
I am writing to let you know that I LOVE your website. I wish that you were in Miami, FL to treat me. I currently see a holistic doctor and am considering going to a holistic school for a nutrition degree.
Here's my story. In 2006 I got pregnant and lost the baby in week 9. After that, once I began getting my period again (in Jan 2007), I gained 5 pounds every month and can't lose any of it. I am now at 232.8 pounds. I was at 194 when I lost the pregnancy.
I have gained 38 pounds and my adrenal hormone is out of control and out of balance. I am B-12 deficient. I want to balance every out so badly and lose the weight, so that I can finally get pregnant and start my family. However, I am afraid to get pregnant at this weight and I continue to gain weight.
I am a gastric bypass patient from 2002 and refuse to get to 327 pounds again! If you have any colleagues in Miami,FL who have the same belief system as you and spirit as you, please forward their number to me. I feel that the person's passion and spirit help a lot in the healing process.
Thank you in advance for taking time out of your day to read this.

An interview with Zoe Hunter
Zoe Hunter is one of the stars of "Witchcraft 13: Blood of the Chosen" (2008).
Zoe was born and raised in Dutchess County, outside of NYC. She spent her childhood and teen years studying voice, dance and acting. She graduated from SUNY Fredonia with a BFA in Musical Theatre and discovered her love for horror movies in college. Upon graduation, she moved to Hoboken, NJ where she pursued a career in singing/theatre/cabaret and commercials.
After traveling with cabaret shows, and industrials, and appearing in several off-off and off broadway shows, Zoe decided to give the big screen a try.
In 2001, she was cast as the vivacious Piper King in Tony Urban's "Klownz" and she was hooked on horror. A true scream queen at heart, Zoe fell in love with working and screaming on the set.
Currently, Zoe is living in upstate NY with her husband, Duncan and two chihuahuas, Ginger and Chai. She enjoys travelling and meeting horror fans and filmmakers.
In March 2006, Zoe was one of the first actresses who I interviewed through MySpace. Here's what she had to say...
How did you become a scream queen?
I responded to a casting for Crazy Ralph Films... and loved working on their feature, 'Klownz' so much that I kept seeking horror roles.
I don't think I have hit the high point yet, as things keep getting better and better, and the lowest was when I took some time off to get married and move... I went crazy without an acting project.
Who do you admire in show business?
I love actors who challenge themselves and don't allow any stereotyping or pigeonholing. I especially love beautiful actresses who arent afraid to be 'ugly': Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron.
What part of the industry really pisses you off?
I hate when people judge by looks, and all of the nepotism. Let's be openminded and cast some unknowns who aren't related to a famous director!!
Do you think that you are unique?
Oh yes... between my red hair and curvy figure... I think I stand out in a crowd!
Do you have any aspirations to be an actor in a big budget major motion picture?
Yes... and have just started auditioning for bigger budget projects. I can't wait for a big budget horror feature!
What would be your ideal role?
I would love to play a woman with a terrible addiction, or impairment. I also love women who are killers or who abuse men!
If you were cast in an episode of 'Lost' who would you befriend and who would you least like to have an onscreen romance with?
Ooh, I love this show and have seen every episode, it is on my tivo! I would definitely hang with Sawyer... and would choose him over the Dr. I would least likely have a romance with Jin... he is not very nice and treats his wife horribly.
Have you ever thought of being on a reality TV show such as Big Brother?
I don't think I would last very long on a long term show... but have appeared on two short term reality based shows... and just auditioned for another.
What do you like to do most when not filming?
I love to shop, read books (I read 3-4 a week), spend time with my hubby and my puppies, drive my new sportscar, and I enter sweepstakes. No, really... I win too! I won three trips last year and many many things so far!
Yes... I have been a member of ebay since 1999 and have over 600 exchanges. I collect Marc Jacobs and vintage Gucci purses as well as shoes.
Have you ever stayed awake more than 24 hours in a row, internetting for instance?
I can't do that anymore... I always get sick if I don't get enough sleep, or I don't eat.
When was the last time you were ill?
Yesterday... I must have gotten a cold over the weekend on the plane. (I was in Chicago for the Fangoria Fest this past weekend.)
Do you get any scary fans or have they all been nice to you?
Everyone I met so far have been lovely. I get great emails!
What is your favourite meal? Do you have a favourite recipe?
I love to make homemade bread and coffee drinks. I make fabulous pancakes and cookies and love to bake! As for food that I love: lobster, sushi (especially Nobu), caviar, and cheesecake.
Have you ever had traditional English fish and chips washed down with Tizer?
Ah... yes I have visited London and England a couple of times and love fish and chips... although I don't really drink alcohol!
Sorry, I should have told you that Tizer was a red carbonated soft drink which I don't think you have in America. It matches your hair colour. What then is your favourite brand of cola?
Hmm... anything diet... I think the new Diet Dr Pepper with cherry.
Ah diet, so you don't eat a lot of crisps (potato chips) then?
Not really... I prefer popcorn.
How about candy? How many toffees can you get into your mouth in one go?
I'm guessing three.
If you were a Simpsons character who would it be, I'm guessing neither Homer or Marge?
Most likely I will piss fans off, but I hate the Simpsons... and never watch it... the voices annoy me.
If you could be anyone else who would you want to be?
I like being me.
If you were able to go anywhere in time, where would you go and what would you do there?
I would go back and hang out with Marilyn Monroe... and become a pin-up girl in the 50s.
Would you have your picture taken in a Dr Blood's Video Vault t-shirt if you were sent one?
Yes... definitely...
Thank you.

I had suffered from TMJ problems for years and spent thousands of dollars with other dentists in an attempt to relieve my pain and discomfort before I came to Dr. Spainhower.
Stabilizing my jaw had been difficult to do with other providers but was quickly acheived with Dr. Spainhower's help. My treatment came to point where I could continue with the use of a bite plate to keep my jaw stable or I could consider fixing my problem.
My jaw problems resulted from an eneven bite and ligaments that were simply tired of trying to pull my bite back in place. For treatrment of that specifically, I took time with other dentists throughout salt Lake to get opinions and decide what would be best for me.
I ultimatley ended up coming back to Dr. Spainhower with advice from others. Dr. Spainhower gave me his input and we decided on a plan to hopefully fix my jaw.
After a month or two of planning and treatment, my jaw was stable and fixed. We ended up needing to take some height off of some of my teeth while adding some to others. All the while being sure my bite was exactly where it should be.
It's now 2 1/2 years later and my jaw is still stable and happy. What used to be pain on waking up, headaches and pain throughout the day, clicking and locking sporadically and overall discomfort is now what I used to hope normal felt like.
I greatly apprecciate the time Dr. Spainhower spent with me and his willingness to treat me as an individual with specific therapy needs. I can't begin to express how great life without jaw pain is.

- I only care about my home directory. When the system's hard disk shits the bed, I buy a new one and then do a reinstall from scratch. I restore my home directory and then install the software packages I have in my home directory. I find this to be easier than backing up the entire system.
- I don't want to wait to backup the entire system, which is currently 138GB and like a kid on Flintstone vitamins...growing.
- The --root option to packagemaker is a bit picky. You have a add a trailing slash on the path you specify, otherwise your staging root directory will end up on the target system. For example:
The resulting package will install /pkg-root to your system (dumb!). You have to run it this way:
mkdir pkg-root
# put stuff in ./pkg-root for the package
packagemaker --root ./pkg-root [options]
And then pkg-root is treated like a staging root.
packagemaker --root ./pkg-root/
- To show all installed packages on the system:
pkgutil --pkgs
However, this only shows packages that pkgutil can see. It won't show you any installed packages recorded in /Library/Receipts. It only shows packages with an entry in /Library/Receipts/boms. The locations appear to be mutually exclusive. Why?
It is possible to remove an entry from the installed packages database. All you have to do is:
pkgutil --forget PACKAGE
This removes the entry from the database, but not what is actually on the system. Why is this even possible? Also note that this will again only work for what packages pkgutil can see. If you want to forget something in /Library/Receipts, just
rm -rfthe directory.
Want to completely hork your system? pkgutil does offer a way to forget a package and remove the files it owns. You can do this:
pkgutil --unlink PACKAGE
pkgutil --forget PACKAGE
No dependency checking is done, pkgutil just deletes whatever is owned by that package. You do this on the BSD package, for instance, and totally hose the system. Great work, Apple.
If you pass the --target option to packagemaker, the resulting flat package it generates won't contain anything from --resources. It just ignores Resources. Great!
The different package formats created by packagemaker appear to be recorded differently in /Library/Receipts. A flat package gets a bom file in the /Library/Receipts/boms subdirectory. A package bundle with metadata gets a receipt bundle as /Library/Receipts/NAME.pkg with the bom file in the bundle as Archive.bom.
So that's what I've discovered trying to package software on MacOS X. It's frustrating and annoying. Packaging is a solved problem. And uninteresting. Why can't OS X just use any of the dozens of packaging systems out there that are open source?

A 69-year-old motorcycle-rental agent was arrested for allegedly raping a 7-year-old girl.
Sumalai Busnampech was taken into custody June 3 at his rental stand on Soi BJ off Walking Street based on an arrest warrant issued after authorities twice interviewed the girl.
Sumalai denied the charges, saying he'd known the girl since she was small and loved her like a daughter. He added that he was physically incapable of the alleged molestation.
Sumalai Busnampech has been arrested for allegedly raping a 7-year-old girl.
Food vendor Wassana Sukaruek had brought the girl to police, saying that she was attacked by Sumalai four times. The child's parents had been locked up on drug offenses and she was living alone until taken in by an acquaintance.
Authorities transferred the girl to the care of the Banglamung Home for Children.
Police said this was not the first time Sumalai had come under scrutiny for his association with young children.

StripChat is another recommended site! There are normally over 1,300 models live online at any given time. This site even though it is a token site, is set for more private shows if you are looking for more of a one on one show. Of course, all three of these webcam sites offer private shows, but Chaturbate and Camsoda generally are LIVE public shows. Just like those two websites, even at StripChat, the model will set a topic for her chatroom. So if she or he is planning on putting on a live public sex show, there will generally be a countdown of how many tokens need to be hit at their goal for the show to happen. Most models also offer tip menus. For example 50 Tokens for Tits, 25 Tokens for Ass, 100 Tokens For Pussy and so on. Some models will set a show for 3000 Tokens until a live cum show. It depends on the model themselves.
StripChat also is another site that as live solo females, solo males, couples both men and woman, girl on girl, a guy on guy, transgender models. One really great thing about StripChat is the breakdown by tags are a lot easier to find a show or a model you would be interested in. The other two sites, use ordinary tags such as milf, big tits, anal. At StripChat you can find models by tags such as dirty talk, fuck machine, cosplay, nipple toys, swingers, smokers, goth, and dance are a few examples of how they use the tags differently than the first two mentioned websites.
One awesome thing also we have seen on this site is a private price range. Just as if you were on Amazon and you are looking in a certain price range, StripChat has that for their models. You can click on the price of tokens you would like to pay on a per minute basis for a private show and find the models who offer those prices. This is probably the ONLY website we have ever seen this on.
Once again there is a model breakdown of categories like both other sites. You can search by age, hair color, ethnicity, body type, hair color, and of course popular tags.
StripChat is also FREE to join and register and if you do so today, they are offering a special of a 50 token giveaway for signing up to their website right now. Get your FREE membership and tokens and find something that will get you off and have you cum hard and wanting to cum back for more!

5 Money Mistakes That Millennials Are Making In Their Prime Investing Years
Millennials are often accused of making serious money mistakes. In fact, according to a recent study, 80% of Millennials don't invest—and one out of five expect to die in debt.
Naturally, these financial blunders have a significant impact on their ability to save money, accumulate wealth, and build emergency savings.
Here are five major money mistakes millennials are making in their prime.
1. Millennials are risk-averse
Millennials had to watch their parents lose their retirement savings, pension benefits, and 401ks to the recession, and it didn't go down well with them.
According to research, most of the millennials are likely to pass on long-term investments—such as stocks—to avoid risk. However, this also limits their ability to create wealth in the long run. A big no-no for those planning to retire in Belize!
2. Inflated lifestyle is the new norm
Do you feel the pressure of matching your peers when it comes to spending? Apparently, most of the millennials do, and it has resulted in inflated lifestyles. Millennials spend an average of $838 on non-essentials, such as cocktails, cabs, and clothing.
The TD Ameritrade survey also finds the leading reasons for millennial credit card debt as paying for necessities, dining out, and shopping.
3. Putting retirement savings for later
When you have over three decades to save for retirement, what's the rush? That's precisely exactly how millennials are planning (or NOT planning!) their retirement savings.
Not only is delaying savings economically catastrophic. You also lose out on the magical benefits of compound interest.
(And if you haven't heard of compound interest, just peep this story about how a $14K/year UPS worker retired with $70M just from saving a few bucks a month…)
VIDEO: Shark Tank's Mr. Wonderful Demonstrates Compound Interest
4. Saving nothing for emergencies
A survey from Harris Poll reveals over 20% of millennials would require help from family and friends to pay for an emergency bill of $500.
Emergencies are a part of life, and you never know when you're caught up in one.
The best strategy to survive financial crises is to set apart a portion of your income as emergency savings.
5. Not taking student debt seriously
America has a SERIOUS student debt problem. And millennials are right at the center of it.
How bad? Well, here goes.
Nearly 45% of millennials have student debt, with net US student debt exceeding $1.5 trillion.
Needless to say, student debt can hamper the millennials' ability to generate long-term wealth or retirement savings.
The Bottom Line
There's no doubt millennials face a unique set of financial challenges. Goes without saying. Still, careful financial planning, a little bit of fiscal restraint, and financial discipline can help them redefine their financial freedom.

7 Money Facts Every Millennial Should Know
I didn't know much about money when I was in my 20's.
I knew how to work, I knew how to buy stuff, and I was smart enough not to run up my credit cards.
Other than that, I didn't really know much. The fact is money and finance is a subject which you either love or you hate.
Most of us try to avoid the subject of finance because most of our parents avoided the subject.
However, I believe now that it's something every parent should teach their children and it's a subject every adult should be interested in.
If I could go back in time and teach myself a few things when I turned 20, here's what it would be.
Time Value of Money
The time value of money is a concept which states money in your pocket today is worth more than that same money in the future. Another way of looking at it is that if you have $10 in your pocket today, tomorrow it will be worth less than it was today.
That's because money can be invested and multiplied. So, $10 today could be $11 next year if you invested it. So, getting $10 next is worth less than getting $10 today because of your ability to invest.
This applies to all of your money, including debts. So, paying off a debt today is worth more than paying it off next year.
If I understood how much my student loans would accumulate (because I deferred them) over my years of college, I would have worked harder to pay them down before leaving college. Or, at the minimum, I would have paid the interest every year.
Inflation is closely related to the time value of money. It is another reason that every day your money is worth less.
50 years ago, $10 was worth a lot, however, these days it can barely buy you anything at all. Inflation is an important thing to consider because you will need to think about your future.
If you are saving a retirement fund for yourself, you may need to save a lot more due to the increasing costs of goods as time goes on.
So, not only is investing early important to make your money worth more, you need to pay attention to inflation so it isn't worth less!
Sunk Costs
I did learn about this in college, so I can't say that I'd have taught myself something I actually was taught. But, it was so important that I want to reiterate it.
A sunk cost is any money you've spent that you can't get back. The idea is that sunk costs should not influence future behavior.
Do you sit and finish it since you already paid?
The answer is no. You can use those 2 hours to do something more fun. There is no reason to suffer through the rest because those sunk costs should not influence your behavior.
Asset allocation
Asset allocation simply means how you allocate your investments. Traditionally, it is suggested to spread your investments out across different investments. The idea is to lower your risk of losing the money you put into it.
But on the flip size, the more diverse you are, the lower your potential returns. That's because the more investments you have, the more likely one of them will be a failure.
Think about it this way, if you invest in one thing, it could be a crazy success or a total failure. If it's a huge success you make a ton of money.
But, if you got it wrong, you could lose your investment.
Diversifying makes it so you'll probably get one or two awesome investments but you'll also get one or two failures. So, you're potential returns go down, but your potential losses decrease as well.
Net worth
Net worth is something I only started tracking in the last couple years.
Your net worth is the total value of your assets minus all of your obligations.
Net worth is important because it represents how well you are financially. If your net worth goes down, you are making some bad decisions while if it continually goes up, you are making good decisions.
It's important to track this, even at a young age. Every month look to see if you go up or down in value and make adjustments accordingly.
Cash Flow
The only thing more important than your net worth is your cash flow.
Every investment you make should create some sort of cash flow (unless you earn so much that your income just doesn't matter anymore).
In theory, it doesn't matter what the investment is worth, as long as it provides the cash flow you need to support yourself.
So, if all of my properties lost half of their value, as long as the cash flow is the same then I'm happy.
Here are a bunch of ways to create $10,000 per month in cash flow.
Five C's of credit
When a lender evaluates you for a loan they will look at several different factors: character, capacity, collateral, capital, and conditions. All of these are the parameters which you will be measured against for a loan.
You can also think about your credit rating and whether you are deemed financially stable enough to take on a large sum of money and pay it back on time.
Bad credit can be very smashing to your future and you can change it by using a bad credit loan to prove you are trustworthy enough to take on a new loan.

DIY: Your 5-Step Financial Planning Guide
If you're starting out to plan your financial future, it can get overwhelming. While many opt for a financial advisor to take care of the entire process, you can always handle your financial planning all by yourself (it's simple, really) if you've got the right tools.
For starters, here's what you need:
1. Set Goals!
Chalk out your goals—it can be short term, like paying off your card payment bills or long term, to meet expenses like retirement and your kids' education.
Take a step back and do a reality check. Where do you stand now? How are your cash flows? How soon can you meet your expenses? Create a timeline to achieve these targets (and ensure you meet them!)
2. Do The Math
Calculate your total assets, after deducting the debts—and budget smart. Ditch your debt to stay away from piling on more to your list of financial risks. If you've got way too many debts to clear and it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep track of them, here's a great tool that comes in handy.
3. Build An Emergency Fund
Uncertainties can be hard, more so if they have a significant financial impact—be it an illness, job loss, or even global downturns.
To evade being stranded, ensure that you've built an emergency fund (a good start would be to keep aside six months' worth of expenses), along with solid insurance coverage to back you up.
4. Hire The Right Agents
Apart from the general power of attorney, also ensure you lay out a directive in case a medical emergency comes up (if you're incapacitated—we know, it's not the best of thoughts to ponder over). To ensure you plan right, avail the services of an accountant, a real estate planning authority, and a medical power of attorney.
5. Earn Money On Your Money
The final step is to make sure you earn returns off your money. How'd you go about this? To start with, educate yourself. Read, read and read some more—research about what stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs and other financial instruments do. Understand their risks, costs and how you can work on diversifying your investment.
It's important to invest in something you understand.
Post this, set up your accounts to meet each of your goals—through monthly contribution plans, 401(k)s, low-cost index funds, IRAs or other savings plans. If all these details get you dizzy (or overwhelmingly hard), you're better off with a financial planner who can do the research and investment planning for you.

Eating disorder awareness is something that is very near and dear to my heart. I first developed a pattern of restrictive eating when I was around 11 years old. I had never heard of eating disorders, I first remember reading a story in a magazine when I was around 13 about a teenage girl who struggled with anorexia. I thought, "I could never do that", little did I know I was suffering at the time.
All I saw was sensationalized pieces in the media – low weights, calories, size zero – I didn't see those signs in myself, no one else did either. Eating Disorders come in all shapes and sizes, just like sufferers. One thing that is true across all EDs is that they are extremely dangerous. I didn't know this when I first starting cutting out food groups and counting each calorie eaten and burned. Dieting seemed normal; I saw ads on tv, heard adult talking about it and read articles in magazines and newspapers. I started out dieting here and there and it got stronger and stronger. I heard of anorexia but I thought it only affected college age girls, I wasn't even a teenager yet. I learned through years of my own research and the last year and a half of treatment and recovery that eating disorders do not discriminate. EDs affect men, women, children, people of all races and sexualities, classes and cultures, it doesn't matter who you are though – you deserve to seek help.
I often think how different my life would be if someone had spoke to me about eating disorders, honestly and told me all the dangers. It may have made no real difference, but it could have saved me – and my loved ones – a decade of pain and sadness. I want to dedicate my life to raising awareness about Eating Disorders – we all know someone who suffers and we all have the ability to help.
Education is the most powerful tool. Knowing what to say and what not to say can save a life. Silence kills, so let's raise our voices up and fight.

Caught in drug test
Twenty four hours before the start of the series against Sri Lanka, the Indian leg-spinner Rahul Sharma's cricket future seems to be bleak. Last May during IPL, two cricketers of Pune Warriors, Rahul Sharma and Wayne Parnell were arrested from a Rave party in Mumbai. Details of the charges against them were banned drug.
Both of them claimed that they were innocent. "We had just been invited to the party and happened to be there," Rahul said at the press conference. He also added, "I am sure my results won't be positive. If tests are positive, I'll quit cricket." South African pacer Parnell said, "We weren't aware of any drugs there or any rave party. It is unfortunate we were there. But at the end of the day, it was just a simple case of being at a wrong place at the wrong time." But now we came to know that they tested positive for drugs. Mumbai police confirmed that they will be arrested. Their blood test report shows that both of them are positive for Cannabis and MDMA. Bollywood actor Apoorva Agnihotri, fashion designer Rocky S. and Bishan SinghBedi's son AngadBediare also found positive in the test.
Rahul is now with the national team in Sri Lanka. For this incident his possibility of being in the first eleven is quite impossible. Saturday he may be brought back to India. The Indian team management has confirmed that they are always keeping contact with the board. Rahul's medical test report spreads unrest to the cricket craze at Friday night.
Board President Srinivas said, "I don't know why everyone is in a mood to execute Rahul Sharma without even going into the details. The BCCI will first procure each and every bit of relevant information and then study them before deciding on the course of action."
"I don't think it was a performance enhancing drug for which he should be punished. I think it was of those strange incidents, one unfortunate incident which should not cost him his India place.He should be punished for little bit of time but I don't think it's such a grave issue that he should be banned from playing for India. The BCCI needs to counsel him. I hope it's a learning curve for both Rahul and Wayne Parnell because they are both very young boys. I hope they don't make this mistake again." he added.
25-year-old Rahul played his One-day debut against West Indies in December 2011. He took 5 wickets in 3 ODIs. Anil Kumble amended his bowling action in Bangalore National Cricket Academy. He also said that Rahul was the most promising leg-spinner of the country.
During IPL V there are many controversies about the night parties. It was said that prohibited drug had been supplied in those parties. Indian media exposed those when Rahul and others were arrested but neither Indian Cricket Board nor IPL Governing Council made any comments about that incident.

text: Sports Celebrations Gone Awry\nPeyton Manning once referred to teammate Mike Vanderjagt as an "idiot kicker." Imagine what he would have called this guy if they ever played together? Gramatica will forever be best known for kicking a 42-yard field goal in the first (yes, FIRST) quarter of a 2001 regular-season game and then celebrating as if he'd just made an overtime kick to win his team the Super Bowl. He almost instantly crumpled into a ball after tearing his ACL, thus ending his rookie season. After the injury, older brother Martin, also an NFL kicker, toned down his celebrations for fear of suffering a similar fate.\nWhen Levet broke through to win his home tournament, the French Open, the attention quickly shifted from how he won to how he celebrated. His impromptu jump into a lake ended up breaking his shin, causing him to withdraw from the British Open a little more than a week later. Even worse, Levet had to endure criticism from fellow players. "I think it's the silliest thing that players have done over the years, I really do," Colin Montgomerie said. "I've always been suspect about people diving into lakes that don't know how deep it is and what's in there." Hey Monty, thanks for the support!\nThe first baseman for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim hit a walk-off grand slam to beat the Mariners 5-1 on May 29, 2010. He hasn't played since. The up-and-coming slugger was supposed to be one of the Angels' biggest building blocks. Instead, the broken leg he suffered while being mobbed at home plate by his teammates served as a cautionary tale, causing the franchise to implement calmer celebrations since.\nPepper's win in the 1999 Kraft Nabisco Championship should have been a career highlight, and a part of it was. But her traditional jump into the pond didn't end well, either. She attributed an ensuing illness to an infection contracted from the contaminated pond water. She went on to miss the next four weeks of the season. "I won't go into the details, but it was very ugly," she said in 2004.\nIn this case, Johnson was the direct victim of a teammate's over exuberance -- and size. After Barkley made a circus shot at the buzzer to win one of the final games of the 1992-1993 regular season, the "Round Mound of Rebound" got a little carried away celebrating with his smaller teammate. The tomfoolery caused Johnson to injure his knee and the guard was forced to sit out the next three games, including the playoff opener.\nOnly the coldest of hearts would find Dravecky's story amusing. The left-handed major league pitcher had just embarked on an inspirational comeback after a cancerous tumor was removed from his left arm. In a highly-publicized return in August 1989, he pitched eight innings in a San Francisco Giants win, but during a start five days later, his humerus bone snapped and he was done for the season. The Giants would go on to beat the Cubs for the National League pennant, and in a cruel twist, Dravecky broke his arm a second time in the celebration at the pitching mound. After more cancer was discovered in his arm, Dravecky retired from baseball, but he continues to tell his story as a motivational speaker.\nIt's one thing for kickers or guys playing other positions to make stupid mistakes, but quarterbacks? They're supposed to be the smart ones. Not in this case, though, as the Redskins quarterback scored his team's lone touchdown late in the first half of a 1997 regular-season game against the Giants and then pulled an all-time, um, bonehead mistake. Frerotte head-butted the wall around the end zone so hard that he sprained his neck. Instead of coming back out for the second half, the QB was forced to call an audible and take a trip to the hospital.\nWhat's more dangerous than racing down a mountain at breakneck speeds? How about trying to open a champagne bottle once you've taken your skis off? American ski racing champion Lindsey Vonn learned this the hard way when, in celebration of a victory in the world championships, she sliced her thumb grabbing a broken champagne bottle. Vonn cut a tendon in the thumb, needed emergency surgery, and was forced to miss her next race.\nImagine a mother's joy when her daughter breaks through to win her first major championship, as Stacy Lewis did last April at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Now imagine Carol Lewis' humiliation when, after taking part in the traditional dive into the pond adjacent to the 18th hole, she ends up breaking her leg. Lewis (left, blue shirt) fractured her fibula on the dive, but it ended up being a relatively minor injury. "(Carol) is doing fine. She may be on some pain medication, but the win is probably the best medicine," Stacy's agent J.S. Kang said the day after the win.\nSanders' show-boating antics were a big reason why he earned the nickname "Prime Time" and was one of the NFL's most popular players, but in this instance, his hot-dogging got the best of him. In 1994, while returning an interception 93 yards for a touchdown against his former team, the Atlanta Falcons, Sanders, always known for his blinding speed, started high-stepping from about the 50-yard line. He would make it to the end zone, but not after suffering some embarrassment by straining his groin. Fortunately for him and the San Francisco 49ers, the injury wasn't too serious and he would go on to help lead the team to the Super Bowl XXIX title.\nWrapping up your division is exciting, but when the clinching game is a 9-1 blowout and there's still about a week left to go in the regular season, there's no reason to go nuts. That rule should apply tenfold to pitchers and even more so to a team's ace. But Peavy, San Diego's best player, managed to hurt himself in that 2005 post-game hubbub. After resting the final few games, he returned to the mound and promptly got rocked by the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of the MLB Playoffs. Afterwords, it was discovered he had a broken rib, ending his season. His team's season also concluded a couple days later.\nThere's shooting yourself in the foot and then there's spraining your foot to shoot your team's chances in the foot. Ginn did the latter in the 2007 BCS National Championship Game. The most explosive player on the field returned the game's opening kick for a touchdown to give underdog Ohio State a huge boost, but after injuring himself (with the help of some teammates) celebrating, he spent the rest of the contest on the sidelines. The Buckeyes sputtered to just one more touchdown the rest of the contest in a 41-14 loss to the Florida Gators.

Sox Slide
They should get a catcher who can throw somebody out.
They should get some hitters who can hit, some outfielders who can catch, and some guys who are less inclined to run into and injure each other.
The people in charge of the organization should pay less attention to dabbling in sidelines like auto racing and concert promotion at Fenway Park and more attention to the faltering baseball operation. Surely there's enough money to be made owning the Red Sox so that the moguls can go easy on maximizing the other revenue streams for a time.
And make no mistake, this team is faltering, unless by the time you hear this it has stopped faltering because it can falter no further.
It's April, night games are still prone to enhancement by picturesque snow storms, but it's never too early for Red Sox fans to put the hammer down and accelerate through doubt and on into panic. It comes with the territory now, because the territory is a lot less interesting than it used to be, before the autumn of 2004, when the Red Sox won a World Series for the first time in anybody's memory. I may still be alone in the conviction that most fans of the team that had not won in their lifetimes were better off then, but those days bore an undeniable albeit perverse charm. During those days, Sox fans could celebrate their exceptional if irrationally masochistic loyalty and thump their chests in pride at the pain they'd suffered and knew they would continue to suffer, based on their faux-Puritan heritage, an alleged curse, and a lot of other equally fatuous malarkey.
It was great.
But now that the Red Sox have won the World Series more often than the Yankees have since 2004, even though the Yankees are the defending champions, the faltering to which I previously alluded is less the fate to which Sox fans have been lashed by tradition and geography than it is reason to squeal, just like the fans of any number of disappointing teams.
The pitchers being paid tens of millions of dollars to get people out aren't getting people out. The hitters making tens of millions of dollars aren't hitting, and the fielders on this team supposedly built to prevent runs are providing Boston's opponents with thirty outs a game.
And this is no longer a fate to be embraced and shared, the delicious pain for which one consciously registered when one chose to cheer for Boston. No, now failure is a disgrace provoking outrage, a disappointment rather than a bleak but somehow comforting certainty.
Oh, for the bad old days.
