…someone who facilitates a client's goals. Design means the culmination of history, theory, and critical thinking to solve a problem in a fantastic way. A designer is trained in the ideas of many before them and mixes this knowledge with their own personal stamp.
A designer is not an extension of the client's hand. Knowing design programs is not the goal. A client does't guide the designer. In the best scenario, the two work together to achieve something great and in doing so, provide each other with a wealth of beneficial experience.

I've saved motherboards and random PCB's from a ton of broken or obsolete electronics throughout the years. I'm talking a few big boxes full. I ended up finding them while packing some things up the other day and decided to make a city out of the pieces. In our society we often function in the exact same ways a computer does. Our cities bustle with activity that from a macro perspective looks like a neat little order. I wanted to try and capture a tangent of that reality.

Montville — An Old Saybrook man who allegedly stole a pickup truck in Old Saybrook and engaged police in pursuit Tuesday crashed the truck at the intersection of routes 85 and 161 in the Chesterfield section of Montville, sending a second pickup into a small pond on its roof with the driver trapped inside, police said.
The accident closed traffic near the intersection for several hours and sent one person to Hartford Hospital by Life Star helicopter and another to The William W. Backus Hospital by ambulance.
State police said in an incident report that an Old Lyme police officer spotted Paul F. Deckelman, 31, of 97 Elm St., driving erratically on Interstate 95 North shortly after the pickup truck he was driving was reported stolen out of Old Saybrook.
Deckelman engaged the officer in pursuit and exited the highway into East Lyme, where he continued north on Route 161 and then engaged state troopers from the Montville barracks in pursuit.
He hit a second pickup truck that was traveling north on Route 85, sending that truck rolling off the road, police said. The truck came to a rest on its roof in the pond, trapping the driver inside, submerged in water. Troopers and East Lyme police officers extricated the driver and pulled him to safety.
Deckelman was taken into custody following a brief struggle with troopers. He will be charged with numerous motor vehicle and criminal charges, though specific charges were unavailable late Tuesday.
The investigation is ongoing.

What would you do to get a job? Some websites are selling fake job references to help desperate job seekers get work. With so many people out of work for so long searching for a job only leads to more misery.Some call it a sign of the times as job seekers desperate for an edge are going online to get fake job references. Paladin Deception Services offers that service for a fee."The leader in covert disinformation", the site boasts that they will offer the "fictitious reference," the "little white lie" or the "alibi that you need."Tim Green, the founder of Paladin Deception Services calls himself a "paid liar," and says more than half his business comes from people looking for fake job references."Our clients have a gap in work history or have been employed in the past with a supervisor that will not provide them with a positive reference," said Green.Here's how it works, for 59 dollars a month Paladin Deception Services sets up a phone line, with an area code in the city of your choice along with a voicemail, email and operators standing by ready to answer questions from prospective employers. "We would then provide the reference that is needed," said Green.Other businesses offering similar services, go further, claiming to build fake websites and even plotting fake business on a map. "These are folks out of work entirely or are working at a very substandard level," said Green."You're talking about putting out information that's false for some kind of pecuniary gain economic gain, that's just fraud," said attorney Adrian Fontes.Fontes says by giving false information to an employer, you might be doing damage that will last beyond your career. "The reality is if folks like this are found to be doing these sorts of things, they've opened themselves up to all sorts of liability," he said.Green says what he does is perfectly legal however there are lines he won't cross. "We will not impersonate any real person or company...we will not give any kind of alibis or verifications in any sort of legal setting," said Green.Mike Hayes with momentum staffing matches employees with employers. He says there are ways for employers to protect themselves. "Suppose they give the number "hey I worked at XYZ here's the phone number talk to betty", we don't usually talk to Betty, we Google and find the place ourselves then call into the H. R. department directly... then a lot of times we require that they send us an email or a fax," said Hayes."It's difficult for people to get experience get jobs... I understand that the worst way to start your career is by lying," said Fontes.A 2012 survey from Careerbuilder found 29 percent of employers say they caught a fake reference on an application. "But at this point my conscious is clean my moral compass is in tact believing we are providing a service for clients," said Green.

Services Scheduled Today For Dello G. Dayton III llIiiM lliip jii Funeral services will be held today for Doctor Dello G. Dayton, longtime WSC educator and administrator who died of a heart attack Friday. Dr. Dayton was born in Dingle, Idaho and raised in Cokeville, Wyoming. After getting his Bachelors degree in history at Utah State University, he received master's and doctor's degrees at the University of California at Berkeley. He served with the Army Historical Division during and after World War II, and was recalled to active duty during the Korean War. He had retired from the Army Reserve Corps with the rank of colonel. Dr. Dayton was widely known as an historian and was active in numerous local historical societies. He was first president of the Weber County Historical Society and also belonged to the Utah Historical Society and the Mormon Historical Assosciation. Dr. Dayton came to Weber State in 1946 and had seen the school grow from a two-year junior college on a downtown campus to a four-year school with the present campus. He served in a number of positions ranging from chairman of the History Department to academic vice-president. He had started at the first of the year on a one-year leave of absence, after which he planned to return to the college to teach history. f 70 WEBER STATE COLLEGE I tJULE LTu ?JLjSLl 1 1 - . OGDEN UTAH JJ Enrollment Limitations Possible If Budget Requirements Not Met Mlh'V li ha 1 Weber State College's goal is to be one of the finest undergraduate institutions in the country, not one of the biggest, says President Rodney Brady. He made the remarks in his presentation of the 1981-1982 college budget to the Higher Education Appropriations committee of the Utah State legislature. He also said the school is prepared to take actions to limit enrollment if funding levels are not maintained. He said this would be necessary to maintain the education quality level the school currently has. Brady outlined several actions that could be taken to limit enrollment. Among these are: -first come, first served; -a lottery system; -increase admission requirements; -increase non-resident tuition or set nonresident ceilings; -increase tuition; -limit evening or off-campus offerings. "Weber State College is at the point where further reductions in real dollar resources will require either deliberate reductions in quality or deliberate limitations on enrollment. ' Brady said. He also said the school will need to cut enrollment by 500 students for every million dollars allocated below the $26.3 million estimated to maintain current levels of education quality. Brady said the school has absorbed 40 per cent of the total enrollment increases in the state in the last two years, and that this has been done with very little assistance in the way of funding. He said the amount of real dollar spending per student has gone down at Weber State. This has not been the case of the other higher education institutions in the state. "Inflation is eating us alive and we are not keeping pace with that in funding," he said. He said he realizes the state is facing a time of tight money, but he is not asking for an increase in real dollar spending, only to maintain current levels. Another problem related to funding is the concern over faculty and staff salaries. The school is having trouble attracting and keeping quality people because it cannot offer comparable salaries as schools the same size. Three budget proposals are being examined by the committee Brady addressed. The state Board of Regents has proposed a budget for WSC of $28.5 million, the governor proposed $26.7 million and a legislative analys recommends $25.6 million. Brady summed up his meeting with the legislature by saying, "You tell me how much money will be appropriated to WSC and then I will be in a position to tell you how many students can be accomodated."

Prizes in poetry are $50, $25, and $15, respectively.Students may enter any one or more of the categories but are limited to one submission only in the prose and no more than three submissions in the poetry categories.

|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

It's 7:15 a.m. and just likethe rooster crow wake-up call my Yorkie is up-and-at-em! And ouch! That is waytoo early for a night-shifter. Still, that's the routine at mi casa each andevery morning.
I begrudgingly get up andstart my way-too-early morning. I trudge outside to take Pips for apotty. We then make our way to the kitchen for a treat. Pips begins to lap up alittle water as I make my little man some breakfast.
Why does my routine matter toYOU? It matters because it gives YOU a good idea of what you'll need for YOURpet earthquake kit. As I mark my routine I'm making a check-list of what I'dneed to care for "my kids" in the event of an emergency. Per www.earthquakecountry.org we needsupplies to last three days to one week. I begin with a plastic bin to store itall.
Let's look back. We startedwith potty. That means I'll need doggie doo-doo bags. Then we went for a treat.I toss in a small bag of dog treats. Next he wanted water. I found a fold-upcanvass water bowl perfect for a back-pack kit. Then it was breakfast. Pipsdoesn't eat much, but he does eat. So in any quake kit you'd want food andwater for your animals. The dry food stores well and if you do get canned foodmake sure there is a pull tab or you include a can opener.
My other dog is a whole otherstory. She gets an upset tummy(and worse) and eats special dog food from thevet. Let's get back to water. WATER is the most important thing for manand man's best friend. Think: one gallon of water per day per animal.
For this story, I had thebenefit of working with a rep from the American Red Cross, www.redcross.org,Hillary Anderson Preparedness Education Coordinator.
The Red Cross offers thefollowing tips:
-Plan to take your pets withyou in an evacuation. If it is not safe for you to stay, it is not safe forthem either.
Know which hotels and motelsalong your evacuation route will accept you and your pets in an emergency. Callahead for reservations if you know you may need to evacuate. Ask if no petpolicies could be waived in an emergency.
-Most American Red Crossshelters cannot accept pets because of health and safety concerns and otherconsiderations. Service animals that assist people with disabilities areallowed in Red Cross shelters.
-Know which friends,relatives, boarding facilities, animal shelters or veterinarians can care foryour animals in an emergency. Prepare a list with phone numbers. Although youranimals may be more comfortable together, be prepared to house them separately.
-Include your pets in evacuationdrills so that they become used to entering and traveling in their carrierscalmly.
-Make sure that your pet'svaccinations are current and that all dogs and cats are wearing collars withsecurely fastened, up-to-date identification. Many pet shelters require proofof current vaccinations to reduce the spread of disease.
-Consider having your pet"microchipped" by your veterinarian.

Psychology of a Distressed Seller
A: I'm listing this under BUYER TIPS because as a buyer in a slowing housing market you can look for the signs of desperation that may lead to a great buying opportunity for you.
Its always sad to see a distressed homeowner put into a position where they have to sell their property fast and at a loss. However, this is how savvy real estate buyers make a great investment and build wealth for themselves even in a cooling housing market such as one we are in now.
To do this, lets do a make believe psychological analysis of a distressed seller whose life is being affected by the fact that he bought a property he couldn't afford (something that happens often as buyers let emotion take over financially sound decision making). Let the session begin!
Shrink: Why are you selling?
Seller: I bought way more property than I can afford and being a homeowner is actually draining my savings accounts. I have 3 months of savings left, when I used to have over a years worth.
Shrink: When did you buy and what did you buy?
Seller: I bought a condo, because I would never pass a co-op board, and I bought it a year and a half ago. I paid 600K for it and now there is a similar unit for sale in my building for 565K and its not selling.
Shrink: Is your job stable?
Seller: Yes, but I am currently spending about 50% of my monthly income on housing expenses. After taxes, living expenses, credit card payments and bills I am losing money each month!
Shrink: How are you holding up emotionally?
Seller: Im a Mess! I am worried all the time. I asked my parents if I can borrow some money but they have none to give me; now they are worried too. I fight with my girlfriend ALL the time. I have to sell this place before it tears my life apart!
Shrink: Your personal relationships have suffered because of this home purchase?
Seller: Unfortunately it has. If I bought something I can afford I wouldn't be in this position. It was a very costly mistake and one I'll never do again. I have to sell this place, even at a loss, and get my life back on track.
Shrink: Is this stressful environment affecting your work production?
Seller: No, thank god. Im still doing very well at work. It's almost as if I know that if I work harder and better, than I might be able to get a raise and stay here. But I know thats wishful thinking.
Shrink Diagnosis: While this bad investment is more a product of bad timing of the market, it was your fault that you purchased a property that you cannot afford. The fact that you are aware of this and at peace with it as a decision you made, is very important. Your personal life and your relationship with your family is the most important thing in your life, with your work relationship and production being a distant second. I would like you to sell your apartment immediately (obviously at a loss) and if that means pricing it lower than the other similar unit in your building, than so be it. We must do something now and end the downard financial spiral that has resulted from this ill-guided investment, and save your relationship with your family, significant other, and most importantly your perception of your own self. Can you do this?
Seller: Yes I think I can. I know there is some tax write off for a Capital loss so its not going to be that bad. I just want to get my life back.
Shrink: Then make it happen! Be happy there is no medical or mental illness at play here. This is strictly a result of your personal financial situation and is fixable.
While this is an exaggerated session, it is not unlikely! In fact, it is a circumstance that affects a lot of homeowners every year and is a direct result of people acting on emotion and buying something they WANT rather than something they can AFFORD! This distressed seller will have to sell and sell fast! Some signs that a buyer should look out for to pinpoint a distressed or needy seller could be:
1. Property first listed BELOW the last comp or similar unit currently ACTIVE in same building. In other words, the seller is NOT 'testing the market'!
2. Price reduction in first 30 days! Keep your eyes open for this. If a property reduces its asking price in the first month than chances are the seller needs to get rid of it fast!
3. Multiple OH's in 1 week period. If a seller holds 3 Open Houses in 1 week (Sunday, Monday, & Wednesday) chances are they are pushing the marketing limits for general showings and want to sell quickly.
4. Property on Market Forever. While the seller may not originally been in distress, if a property has been on the market for 8+ months and still has not sold, the seller must be frustrated and getting more ancy. They can easily become a distressed seller and accept an offer much lower than they originally had in mind!

For those of you shopping our stores on Fridays, you know about the best deli deal of the week: 5 Buck Cluck! We offer our hot, fresh and oh-so-delicious rotisserie chickens for just $4.99. Let me just say it's extremely popular and an incredible value!
Our rotisserie chicken normally provides 4 servings. Where else can you find a hot, ready-to-eat, center-of-the-plate entrée for $1.25 per person?
When we first created the delicious flavor profiles for our rotisserie chickens, we wanted to make a statement. We wanted our chickens to be the best in town. I'm proud to say this became a reality.
Why are we constantly slathering chicken breasts with marinade? The most common answer is to enhance flavor and tenderness. Chances are, only one of the two take place; not both. But which of these are more important and why?
To answer this, you really need to know where we, as a chicken loving society, have come from. Over the past 10 years, you may have noticed at weddings that guests who were pleased with the food almost always said, "The chicken was so moist". Why is this phrase so common? Was "DCS" (dry chicken syndrome) more common decades prior? Absolutely. So what happened? Marinades happened, but not for flavor.
Every month we publish our Organic and Natural magazine and offer it to our customers for FREE. The magazine is always loaded with new item information, health and wellness articles, terrific recipes, and we showcase more than 30 organic and natural brands that are on sale for the entire month.
Here's just a little of what I got out of this month's issue:
Hey everyone… Michael Cuddyer here for Lunds and Byerly's! I'm back out on the field which means not only the baseball season has begun, but grilling season has finally arrived!
Lunds and Byerly's asked me to contribute to their new blog and share some of my favorite grilling tips with you. I told them I'd give it a shot…so here I go!
My wife Claudia and I like to grill as much as my schedule allows, and like most people, we've tried lots of things over the years. One of our favorite quick and healthy things to grill is chicken. It is easy to grill and only takes a few minute per side before it is ready. Anytime you grill chicken, there are a few things you can do that will make the cooking easier.
It was created with a simple goal in mind: to provide you with a heaping scoop of mealtime inspiration and food education from our passionate and knowledgeable staff. Our contributors come from every corner of our company and are truly experts in their field.
All of us are here for you, so keep the conversations going by using the "Comments" feature at the end of each post to provide additional expertise, ask questions or share your thoughts.

Advice From Haters
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011
Alli discovered a new show concept today in Buzz. It's called "H8RS" and is in development on CW. The premise is actors, musicians, etc. sit down with people who can't stand them and try to win them over. It could be the coolest idea we've heard for a reality show in a while. We decided to test it out on the show today and see if we could win over some of our haters. Check it out:
I know it sounds stupid but we really don't mind people telling us what they don't like about us. How else are we supposed to find out if we're doing something wrong.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Senate has voted to let entire groups of workers collect unemployment benefits if their hours get reduced.
That way, companies would not have to lay off just a few of the employees.
The Assembly approved the same measure last month, so it now goes to Governor Scott Walker for his signature. All Democrats voted no when the bill passed 18-15 Tuesday.
They agreed with the concept, but they said the bill should have language that protects workers covered under union contracts. Otherwise, Stevens Point Democrat Julie Lassa said it would just create more uncertainty for businesses, and more stress when there doesn't need to be any.
But Republicans said the written protections would be redundant, because union workers are already protected by law. The state could get federal money both to implement the change, and provide jobless benefits to those whose hours are cut.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says two dozen other states already have such a system – and he says it would help people keep their jobs and businesses keep skilled employees during hard times.

Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) lashed out at President Obama's pick of John Bryson to head Commerce: "[I]t is understandable that President Obama would select John Bryson as his nominee: he is a founder of a radical environmental organization and a member of a United Nations advisory group on climate change." The Natural Resources Defense Council, co-founded 40 years ago by Bryson, has 1.3 million members, who support "radical" policies, such as limiting toxic chemicals in baby bottles. Its board of trustees include the top executives with The Gap, Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures, and Tishman Construction.

After dealing team captain Jason Arnott to New Jersey, the Nashville Predators filled his spot with a younger, faster model.
Numbers Game takes a look at the Matthew Lombardi signing.
The Predators Get: C Matthew Lombardi.
Lombardi, 28, is one of the league's fastest skaters and scored a career-high 53 points for the Coyotes in 2009-2010.
While that point total doesn't suggest Lombardi is an elite offensive producer, it would also have been enough to lead the Predators' scoring race last season, so if Lombardi keeps producing 50-plus points, he's holding up his end of the bargain.
Since the Predators traded away Jason Arnott, Lombardi effectively replaces him on the depth chart, but could be a better fit; a younger player with better speed, he'll be more apt to to thrive when playing the Predators' relentless style.
With Colin Wilson, David Legwand and Marcel Goc the other centres of note in Nashville, Lombardi should have every opportunity to secure a spot on the first line, including prominent power play minutes. Wilson may end up back on the wing, as he was for much of his rookie campaign.
In Phoenix, they made up for the anticipated loss of Lombardi by signing veteran winger Ray Whitney and making plans to shift Wojtek Wolski into the middle on their number one line.
Signed for three years and $10.5-million, Lombardi comes reasonably-priced, which is somewhat surprising since he was the top centre available by the time the free agent market started, but the Predators should be pleased with the results of effectively swapping out Arnott and bringing in Lombardi to fill the void.

'Hot' even when it's cold
There's something about this gorgeous ruffled scarf. That stunning snow leopard print that sizzles movie magic. Is it the fabulous fake fur, or the casual chic-draped style? Never mind. The bottom line is that she looks hot -- even when it's freezing cold! Thanks to that neat pull-through fastening, she is also spared the nuisance of constantly adjusting it. Such a spoilsport. . But not anymore. While ruffling on this scarf keeps it tight and snugly against her neck, keeping the chill out. Plus, it's so glamorous that it teams superbly with indoor as well as outdoor outfits. Yes, she can wear it in the office too!

B. Banaschewski
This thesis is a study of what it means for a frame to be N-compact. We find that the frame analogues of equivalent conditions defining N-compact spaces are no longer equivalent in the frame context; one must be careful in deciding what the appropriate frame notion is. We show that it is the assumption of a choice principle (the Axiom of Countable Choice) which provoke9 this departure from the spatial situation.
We analyze the several possibilities and show how it is the 'H-N-compact' frames which best embody the notion of N-compactness. We develop the theory and construct the H-N-compactification, which uses a frame-theoretic version of the classical ultrafilter formulation of the spatial N-compactification. We use this compactification to show how these frames relate to the other 'N-compact' frames. Along the way we construct a 0-dimensional Lindelōf co-reflection, and show how this relates to the H·N-compactification.
Recent works in Abelian group theory have employed the groups C(X, Z) in the study of reflexivity and duality. The N-compact spaces are important in this regard because of a theorem of Mrówka which shows how a group homomorphism from C(X, Z) to Z is determined on a small part of X, if X is N-compact. We use the H-N-compact frames to lift thus to a result about any group of global sections of a sheaf of Abelian groups. We then are able to give a sufficient condition for the local reflexivity of a sheaf to lift to global reflexivity; it is enough that the frame is H-N-compact. We show that the groups known to be reflexive (in ZFC) each appear as a group of global sections of some sheaf on an N-compact frame, or as the dual of such a group of sections. We can then use our generalized Mrówka's Theorem to establish their reflexivity.
In the final chapter we apply the techniques of Chapter 1 to the study of realcompact frames. These have been studied, but the definition usually given is quite restrictive. We construct the H-realcompactification and develop enough of the basic theory of H-realcompact frames to justify proposing that these be thought of as the realcompact frames.

Sure-Fire Ways to Jump-Start Your Savings
Published on - October 27th, 2006 (Modified on - June 29th, 2007) (by J.D. Roth)
You know an article must be good when your accountant forwards it to you. Mine sent me this list of 11 ways to jump-start your savings from Dana Bratch at MSN Money. Bratch writes:
The secret of successful savings borrows from the tale of the tortoise and the hare: Slow and steady wins the race. But while it may be a winning strategy, it's difficult to get motivated when your savings balance is climbing that slowly. One way to keep your head in the game: Sock away extra money, especially in the beginning, so you can get enthused watching that balance really climb.
One key to successful money management is to make the most of psychological tricks. This is why the Debt Snowball is so successful. It's also why a simple way to save is to simply avoid temptation — to avoid stores where you know you're likely to spend.
Bratch offers eleven tips to help a person get started with savings and frugality. Each of these helps to shift your psychological perspective on money:
- Set a clear goal. If you save for a particular goal, you're more motivated to stick to the plan. Recently, I've been using purpose-driven investing — it works like a charm.
- Use a jar. A jar for spare coins is a subtle ever-present reminder of your saving habit. When the jar is full, deposit the money into your savings account.
- Buy generic. Purchasing store brands will reduce your grocery bill, giving you more money to save.
- Do it yourself. Bratch mentions David Bach's concept of the "latte factor". Find a recurring indulgence that you can sacrifice — if only temporarily — in order to kickstart your savings. For some people, it's a daily latte. For me, it's comic books.
- Plan a garage sale. Get rid of that junk you've been accumulating in the attic. Purge those books you never read, those movies you never watch. Organize a garage sale. Sell your stuff on eBay. Learn to use craigslist.
- Pick up a pen. Write down a budget. Budgets aren't for everyone (I'm not a budgeter), but for some they're a powerful tool, giving an overview of their financial health. Even I write down a budget now and then, just to get an idea of where my money's going.
- Cut your overhead. Call your utility providers to ask for lower rates. Or switch from the deluxe $80 cable package to $20 basic. Ask your credit card companies to lower your interest rate. Carpool. Turn down the thermostat. Eat out less often.
- Tax yourself. I love this idea — I'd never heard it before. "Every time you buy something nonessential, put 10% of the purchase price in an envelope," writes Bratch. This is worth an entire entry on its own.
- Make saving a family priority. Teach your kids to save. Encourage them to save a certain portion of their allowance or income. To add an incentive, offer to match whatever your kids put into savings. Remember: compound returns favor the young.
- Automate as much as you can. Once you've found a portion of your income that can be put into savings, make it automatic. That's the entire premise behind David Bach's The Automatic Millionaire. Have money automatically withdrawn from your account and put into savings or into investments. That's why I love Sharebuilder: I can set up an automatic investment plan that makes saving painless. (Ad: Buy Stocks for $4 at ShareBuilder.)
- Do something regularly to remind yourself why you're saving. Make saving an emotional and psychological priority. Are you saving for a house? Make a screensaver out of a photo of your dream house. Is your money destined for a European vacation? Keep a travel guide on your nightstand.
These are basic activities on which sound personal finance is built. Each of them is small, almost inconsequential. But taken together, they can have a powerful impact on your financial life.
[MSN Money: 11 ways to jump-start your savings]
This article is about Basics
Good Article. I like the idea of having people set a vision for why they are saving. Having it automated is important too. We're learning that right now in the "Million Dollar Savings Club".
- Bryan
Here's one more: set up an automatic deposit of a few dollars from your pay ($20-$50) every month/week to a completely different savings account for christmas. $50 a month x 12 months is $600 not counting interest. Probably not as much as you spend on gifts, but still probably a decent fraction of it. Once its going into the account every month, you will hardly miss it, and its really nice in the roll up to the holidays.
Although ING Direct isn't the leader right now in interest rate, one nice feature is that you can creat sub-accounts online. Once you login, click on "Open an Account" on the left sidebar. Then on the next page select "Open Now" under Orange Savings. It looks like its creating a brand new account but its actually a sub-account that you can give different nicknames to. You can create a number of accounts for the different financial goals you may have.
Hmmm, Jane was just giving us the story of the tortoise and the hare. The morale of the story never seemed to be "slow and steady wins the race", but more "don't underestimate your opponent" and "play hard until the whistle." To me the "hare" of investing would be someone saving for 30 years and age 50 just before becoming financially independent, going out and blowing all your savings on a bunch of luxury items like $20K watches.
Psych yourself into saving…
The Get Rich Slowly blog points out that some good psychological tricks can help you manage your money more closely and jumpstart your savings, for example: Tax yourself. … Every time you buy something nonessential, put 10% of the purchase……
I really like this post. This is all stuff our parents used to do and we all thought it was silly. Now that we're the adults, we understand what their plan was.
I never thought of taxing myself, I really like that idea!
[...] This post describes some ways to start a good savings program. [...]
I find that the fall timeframe is a good time to remind yourself of your savings plan because often times people have extra money — 401k's are fully funded, SS tax is no longer being removed from your paycheck, etc. FinanceGirl called it the "Santa Claus Effect", which I love.

My husband and I wish we'd started a savings habit at a young age – what enormous freedom that would have given us!
In regards to #9 on your Jump Start list:
We now talk to our children about 'getting rich the slow & steady way' all the time – with the simple message that one way to get rich is to save your money. When he was 2 years old we began giving our oldest son a $1 allowance twice a month, by age 4 it was up to $2, and now at age 8 he gets $5 twice a month. At first he would immediately want to spend the money – on candy & cheap dollar store toys. I became concerned about how eagerly and quickly he wanted to spend, spend, spend. But we decided to let his excitment at having cash in hand to run it's course – with subtle parental comments about cheap toys breaking so quickly, candy being gone in a few minutes, and how he could have bought that nice big Tonka truck if he'd saved just two allowances. Eventually he began to save $10 or $20 to feed his Geo Trax obsession, and stopped the frenzied spending on cheap stuff.
And this year he decided he wanted to become rich by saving! It took him 6 months (a very long time to a little boy!) but two months ago he opened an ING savings account with a $50 deposit – and a $25 bonus because Mom & Dad temporarily deposited $250 in the account. Our son is amazed that a bank will pay him just to store his money (interest), and thinks that just the coolest thing ever. He now saves 10% of everything he earns ($1 per month from his allowance). Even better, he now actively searches out dropped coins in parking lots and on store floors so he can add that to his get rich savings (maybe this should be #12 on your list?). I'm so proud of his initiative and I have no doubt that he will become a rich young man.
I loved #8 as well, and I too haven't heard it before. This tip, together with envelope-savings is sure to change my horrible careless money spending.
I'd like to expand upon what icup says above in post #2 regarding automatic deposit. If you can set up an auto deposit directly into a few favorite stocks, that can add up over the years. We trickled $50 a month into two companies, and today we have built quite a holding. Now we just wait for the prices to climb!
Here's one way I thought of overnight while thinking about this post. It may not work for everyone, though, because it depends on how one gets paid; but it can probably be modified to work for some.
I work 40 hours a week, but I get paid twice a month, once on the 15th and once at the end of the month. That means that each paycheck varies in how many hours it, from 80 to as much as 96 (not counting overtime, which I rarely get). Actually, I think my smallest check happens in February, for 72 hours or only 9 working days.
My 80 hour checks, at my current salary, after withholding and medical and all that, comes to around $1205.70, give or take some. One of the "big" checks, 96 hours, comes to $1408.47, give or take.
I was looking at the spreadsheet I use to track income and expenses, and I had the idea that I could "standardize" my paychecks around the amount I get for 80 hours. It would simplify my bills and such, and I could just set aside all the money over and above that amount into savings. It would add up, big time, over the course of the year.
I'm not sure I can have the discipline to do this right now, considering I am paying off my credit cards. My "extra" money all goes towards those damned cards! But once those are paid off (by summer next year, if all goes as planned) I'm going to try this.
I've been trying out purpose driven savings for quite a few months. I was originally saving up for the PlayStation 3, but with the amount of money I have saved, I can probably buy the Wii, Xbox 360 AND the PlayStation 3, and still have some money left. I should probably spend the rest on my wedding…
All money is worthless. Spend it on booze and broads.
Some great ideas. A quick one to add to no.3. would be purchase on SALE. I've been freezing my bottom off for the past couple weeks waiting for winter jackets to go on sale. Last weekend I puchased a 2006 Columbia jacket for 35% off then 50% off that during a little known 3 hr. special sales event (a total savings of $108.00!). Keep your eyes peeled. Patience is the key.
[...] It's a challenge to convey good money habits to their children. Harrison and Antonio's parents are doing a good job. Get Rich Slowly reader MM has some great advice for parents, too. Here's a comment from a recent thread: We now talk to our children about 'getting rich the slow & steady way' all the time — with the simple message that one way to get rich is to save your money. When he was 2 years old we began giving our oldest son a $1 allowance twice a month, by age 4 it was up to $2, and now at age 8 he gets $5 twice a month. At first he would immediately want to spend the money — on candy & cheap dollar store toys. I became concerned about how eagerly and quickly he wanted to spend, spend, spend. But we decided to let his excitment at having cash in hand to run its course — with subtle parental comments about cheap toys breaking so quickly, candy being gone in a few minutes, and how he could have bought that nice big Tonka truck if he'd saved just two allowances. Eventually he began to save $10 or $20 to feed his Geo Trax obsession, and stopped the frenzied spending on cheap stuff. [...]
I like the idea of taxing yourself for nonsensical stuff. It's like a consumption tax. I think I'm going to try that out.
[...] I've mentioned this tip in passing before, but it's worth highlighting. A self-imposed consumption "tax" would seem to have several advantages: [...]
This is so well put! To be honest, these 11 pointers are so clear and concise, I feel like I've benefited more from 5 minutes or reading than I could have by going to Barnes & Noble to buy a saving tips book. Thank you!
By the way, I never even thought of asking for a lower cost for natural gas or a lower credit card rate (suggestion #7). Brilliant!
Also, taxing myself doesn't sound like fun (suggestion #8), but may pay dividends in the long-run.
Keep up the good work!

Thruxton is the United Kingdom's fastest racing circuit. Located about an hour-and-a-half southwest of London, this sweeping twist of tarmac is a throwback to the days when circuits looked and felt dangerous-the run-off areas end, quite literally, in a hedge.
It's as much a test of the driver's manhood as it is of the car, which is why we're here to drive the new Seat Leon Cupra R. Boasting Volkswagen's familiar 1.8t engine tuned to 210 bhp, this is the car the Spanish company hopes will finally establish it as a major player in the sport compact car arena.
This engine was originally used in the Audi S3, which is also built on the same VW Golf-derived platform as the Leon, so think of the Leon Cupra R as a hotrod Golf, the GTI we don't get or as a poor man's Audi S3, minus the quattro drivetrain. In the UK, the Cupra R sells for 16,995 ($26,350), which is $11,000 cheaper than an S3, and $4,651 less than the new Ford Focus RS, but $1,550 more than a Honda Civic Type-R.
The simple, elegant lines of the Leon absorb the bold body kit. The front end is particularly aggressive, where a redesigned bumper incorporates a small aerodynamic splitter and a pair of poly-elliptical fog lamps. This assembly also hides the larger vents necessary to cool the twin front intercoolers, which are unique to the R.
It's a dramatic effect enhanced by the lowered suspension. The longitudinal arms and coil springs at the rear of the R sit 6mm closer to the ground than they do on the standard Cupra, and the bumpers are 45mm lower. Deep side skirts link the front and rear and complement the extended wheelwell moldings, which are necessary to accommodate the 225/40ZR-18 Pirelli P Zero Rossos.
This rubber frames twin-five-spoke alloys, which give a good view of the Brembo red, four-pot calipers. The discs are also suitably vast-12.6 in. at the front and 10 in. at the rear.
The bold theme is completed by the chopped tailgate, which incorporates a deep-set bumper arrangement and a discreet lip spoiler at the top of the hatchback. There's also a bold Cupra R badge located south of the right taillight.
While the outside of our test car is yellow, everything inside is black. Red stitching on the steering wheel and gearstick and optional Recaro seats spice up the interior.
