What to Do When You're Completely Unsure
Published on - October 22nd, 2010 (by J.D. Roth)
This is a guest post by Tyler Tervooren of Advanced Riskology, a blog with resources for extraordinary risk takers. You can follow him on Twitter @tylertervooren.
Personal finance is full of confusing concepts, puzzling equations, and no lack of professionals with conflicting advice about what you ought to be doing and how you ought to go about doing it. With all that information swirling around in your head, and mixed with a general uncertainty about what the future holds, it's easy to find yourself completely unsure of what to do.
Know what I used to do when I felt completely overwhelmed and unsure which direction to go? Nothing. I'd freeze in indecision, get frustrated, and give up.
I spent a long time doing nothing before the frustration of inaction finally overtook the discomfort of not knowing what to do. Though I made some mistakes, things finally started coming together once I committed to taking action with my finances and career. That's why I can say that although times have never been more uncertain for me than they are right now, I've also never been more confident in my ability to work things out.
Whether it's an investment, a career choice, or another big life decision, here are some rules I've developed to help me figure out what to do when I have absolutely no idea what to do:
- Pick one thing and commit. If you're uncertain which direction to head, it's probably because you have too many choices. Should I increase my 401k savings? Start a Roth IRA? Do I need a financial planner? What if I need a will someday? Usually it doesn't matter which one you pick; it just matters that you do. Don't waste time searching for the best option; choose a good option and commit to it. Set everything else aside and focus on that.
- Ask yourself why it's important. It's easy to end up working on stuff that's important to some talking head, but not to you. But it can be difficult to focus and make good decisions when you're working on something you don't care about it. If it's not important to you, drop it immediately and work on something else. You'll give a lot more (and better) effort to goals you care about, so find a way to make it personal.
- Accept that you'll never have all the answers. The most successful people you know didn't get there because they found a way to answer every question; they made it because they learned to accept that they had to make decisions based on imperfect information. I'm almost certain that you can never be 100% certain about anything. Set a deadline for a decision and act on the best information you have on that date.
- Take baby steps. One sure-fire way to freeze in terror is to convince yourself that you have to figure out everything all at once. When it comes to money, the journey is just as important as the destination. Take baby steps in the direction that feels right and soon enough you'll find yourself sprinting towards your goals. If you want to start saving for retirement, pick an account and open it. Once that's done, then you can figure out how to start getting more and more money into it.
- Stop planning and start adjusting. Set a course of action, but don't be inflexible. If you force yourself to stick to it even if things go wrong, you'll be in more trouble than when you started. Instead, develop a rough plan and make adjustments as needed. Remember that it's only a guide, not a rule. If things go wrong, it's your job to steer in a different direction. If things don't look the way you think they should, change course and try again.
- Ask for help. This is important. Sometimes I get this idea that other people are too busy being awesome to have any time to help me, but in my experience, that hasn't been the case. Don't hesitate to send that email or make that call. You might be surprised by the results. I changed careers in February after being laid off from a job I hated and I wouldn't be nearly as far along as I am in my new writing gig if I hadn't mustered the courage to ask for a little help and advice from some very busy people.
- Throw away Plan B. Once you find something important to pursue, throw away your contingency plan. That doesn't mean you stop making course corrections; it means that you should take your goal so seriously that failure is not an option. Plan B is always easier than Plan A which means that, more often than not, Plan B will become Plan A when Plan A gets too hard. Some things are too important for a Plan B.
I don't always take this advice myself. Making a big decision is hard. Even if you make the right choice, you might not realize it for a very long time. At 25, it's still tough to say if I picked the best mutual funds for my 401(k) or if I got my IRA allocations right.
Heck, who knows if I even picked the right career? Sometimes I worry.
That's not so important, though. I know that I can change course if things go wrong. The game isn't over just because I made one decision. And in the long run, it won't be as critical as I think it is right now. What is important is that I keep tipping the scale towards action because the alternative is just more sitting and more head scratching.
I'm 25 and already starting to lose my hair. The last thing I need is more head scratching.
What tips do you have for deciding what to do when you have no idea what to do?
This article is about Choices, Psychology, Self-Improvement
It's true. Life is full of uncertainties, but we need to wade through them and get to the truths: we need to save, we need to invest, and we must continually course correct along the way. Money is dynamic and the plan may be adjusted every year or so, but as long as we all stick to the plan that we set for ourselves, everything should work out just fine.
If you are searching for more extra money within your current income, take a look at my website – it'll show you where to find it. Be sure to leave a comment, I love to interact with my readers!
When stuck between two choices, my girlfriend has a magic quarter. Heads for one thing, tails for the other. If you don't get the side you want, 2 out of 3 is okay. So is 5 out of 7…
It's a great way of showing you what it is that you really want.
The paradox of choice is great reading– recommend it for everyone. (Here's our accolade: http://nicoleandmaggie.wordpress.com/2010/07/21/satisficing-as-a-life-philosophy/ )
Like Tom's girlfriend, I often flip a coin. Heck, if you have role-playing dice, you can roll a dice for all sorts of numbers of decisions.
Use Nioxin shampoo for your hair. Worked for me! Full, thick as ever head of hair at 27!
Nicely said, Tyler, and so true. We can paralyze ourselves with indecion and fretting over making the right choice. An excellent book to help you get out of that mindset is Excuses Begone!! by Dr. Wayne Dwyer. There is a book review on my website.
When I really get stuck, I also have a special coin. It literally says on it, "Executive decision maker." Flip it and it will make your decision for you
One interesting thing to observe about successful people is their ability to quickly make decisions when incomplete information is available to them. I think there are a few reasons for this:
1) Instinct – Experience lets them subconsciously pick out patterns in decision branches, so even if they're not aware, they can avoid disaster.
2) Minimize risk – Successful people are able to position themselves so that even if they make a bad decision, the negative impact is minimal, and / or they can backtrack quickly.
3) Ignore fear – Everybody's afraid. Successful people either ignore it or thrive on it. They realize, what's the worst could happen? I lose everything? I'll just build it up again.
By the way, my "magic coin" is a half dollar.
Do something easy! There's always low-hanging fruit – an employer-match on a 401k, a debt you can pay, a nice low-fee index fund.
Doing something now makes it easier to do something else, later – it's not hard to make the jump from emergency fund, to emergency fund in a CD ladder, to a fat retirement account and a full-fledged portfolio.
When I'm stuck I do one of three things. I list pros and cons of a decision, I list consequences for not doing anything, or I flip a coin. The pros and cons is good between two choices of reasonable action, e.g. do I want to invest in CDs or a mutual fund over the next ten years. The list of consequenses/worst case lets me see what happens if I do absolutely nothing or if things go down the hole, e.g. what if I don't get a will, does it really matter? And the coin flip is the last straw. The coin flip result is irrelevant. I pay attention to that second it's in the air and what I want the outcome to be. Even though I know I'm kind of kidding myself, there is still that split second of knowing what I want, which translates in letting me sleep at night.
My other tactic is start small and add for any long term goal. For example, college fund for the kids. Folks freak out worrying about paying $100K plus and how will they save that. Do they use a 529, invest in the market, etc. I say start with $20-50 a paycheck in saving account and add to it in $10/20 as you get raises and take your time deciding where to invest it later. The fact that you start saving is often more important than delaying because you are worrying about where you are saving it and picking the best investment. The $500-1200 you might save that first year is more than the likely difference in interest between any of your choices.
First you need to know what you hope to achieve by making the decision, then it becomes easier to see which choices will help you reach that goal.
If the best course of action doesn't become apparent within a reasonable amount of time and research, I make a list of pros and cons for each choice. Then I rate them by how effectively each will help me reach my goal and eliminate (or put on hold) the least effective ones making the best choice more apparent.
This simple process of elimination works every time for me and keeps me moving and making progress toward my goals.
One other thought…
Sometimes two choices are better than one.
For example, when deciding between paying off credit card debt or saving more, the earlier savings compounded earned more than what I would save in interest expense. I discovered this in a spreadsheet and decided to split my efforts between the two.
By the time I got my credit card debt paid off, I also had a nice 12 month emergency fund stashed in a high-yield checking account earning 4.75%
Both goals were equally important to me and it pained me to pick one over the other, so I chose to fund both at the same time.
Thanks for adding to the discussion, everyone. There's some more great tips in here.
I absolutely love the coin flip idea. It doesn't even have to be the decision maker – it'll quickly help you see which direction really want to go.
I'm going to start using that. Now to find a nice shiny half-dollar.
A bad decision is only bad if you label it so. Refrain from labeling things! I can't tell you how many times I've gone down one path, feeling at times I was making a terrible choice, only to be proven wrong. All the "speedbumps" were exactly what I needed to get where I wanted to be.
I'm confident and feel good about all my decisions. Why? Because it's the decision that I made. It's not bad, it's not good, it's just the decision that I made. Learn to stop that judgmental, pre-conditioned thought loop. It's silly anyways. Cheers!
@Tyler: Stopping by a bank might be your best bet. Or, if you know any coin magicians, they usually have a roll of them. Otherwise, if you're in NYC, let me know and I'll give you one.
Similar to your "ask for help" – find someone you trust or has been successful with "X" task and find out how they did it. Their specific advice may not work with every situation, but the general principles probably apply.
More than one employer has told me that I am one of the few people that are not afraid to make a decision. I guess I was born that way.
I make a decision, then live with the consequences of that decision until I can mitigate it. But, I make a decision. I learn from my mistakes.
I look at my mistake and ask myself these questions:
1. What did I do wrong? What exactly was the mistake in the process?
2. What should I have done differently?
3. How can I mitigate what has already happened?
And, most important of all of them:
4. What can I learn from this to keep from doing it again? Was there any good at all, from this decision? How can I keep the good part of the decision and not repeat the bad part of the decision?
I also go into a decision, especially large ones, without FEAR. Once the decision is made, then I go with it. I know I will fail sometimes and I am okay with that hit to my self esteem. Heck, crap happens!
And, I have this belief that if I make decisions, with a good and not selfish heart, without the intention to hurt anyone, then Life/God/Karma will pay me back ten fold.
It has worked so far in the past 47 years I've been on this planet.
I read a quote awhile back that I really like, it said something to this effect: "If I had to live life over again, I would have made the same mistakes, but much sooner!"
Amen to that one.
I've recently realized that I have too many choices, too many things I want to do. So I started focusing on one thing at a time – first I knew I wanted to pay off my debt, so I paid off one from savings. Now, I'm paying off one loan at a time by putting all of my extra money toward it. I'll have paid off over $20,000 by the end of this year, including my car and a large chunk of student loans.
Next year, I will continue paying off my student loans but I also plan to apply to MBA programs. I'm hoping to be able to pay for it with scholarships and cash.
There is no right answer. No right career, no right investment. Pick something and go with it; if it doesn't work out, try something else.
I'd suggest checking out 'intentional living'. You're gettting close with your rules.
A recent post on Dumb Little Man addressed the relative utility of reading about [insert subject here] versus taking action. There really isn't much utility in the first instance.
In the U.S. I think we are at a point where many spend their days reading about (or viewing) and discussing how things ought to be, and what they (or others) ought to do. I believe if we devoted 10% of our time to taking action, 90% of our perceived problems would disappear.
If there is any action on the Top Ten Personal Finance To-Do's that a person has not done – in my case, it's making a will – it's time to schedule a To-Do Day and get that stuff DONE.
It's far better, in almost all circumstances, to take SOME action than to endlessly discuss WHICH action should be taken.
Nice post Tyler
I've been living life by some of these rules over the past few months; just taking an option and going with it, no matter what the consequences, and it's been an amazing, continuing journey!
Always look forward to your posts. Thank you!
This post was awesome and right on time. I'm trying to figure out where exactly I want to go as far as my entire life goes. Personally, financially, educationally, career wise, etc. I have a rough plan of where I want to be, I'm just trying to take action, just like you said. Bookmarking this possibly forever, lol
Great stuff here.
What I do in this situation is to do as much reaerch as I can, talk to a few people I trust, THINK about it for a little while, and then go with my best instincts.
Nobody is an expert at everything, so sometimes, I think we just have to rely on our gut.
And if it turns out I made a mistake, I make the best of it, learn from my mistake, and make sure it doesn't happen twice…
I am currently lost and don't know what to do. Pick one thing and commit is one of the most important tip for me.
I have no problem making a decision. I just have a problem following through lol.
Another option is to find someone trained in "motivational interviewing". The name is misleading; it's not used to increase someone's motivation, but to help a person come to a decision, move to a point of action. Pretty interesting stuff.
I'm surprised nobody has quoted Yogi Berra yet:
""When you come to the fork in the road, take it""
Once you understand that debt is slavery, you will do whatever it takes to escape & never go back. All those nice things you covet so you can 'feel better' cost you time. Money is time. Add interest, and it's a lot more time at work. Time you can't have back-ever.

Writing a monthly column in a national magazine has to be just about the best gig around. Certainly the pressure is there to come up with clever and reasonably intelligent things to say every month, but the opportunity to stand upon a soapbox and tell the world what you think is more fun than you might imagine. If that soapbox is european car and your entire life has been consumed by cars from across the pond, it would seem to be a job made in heaven.
I have been extremely fortunate to have worked for just three different editors at ec. Greg Brown invited me to write a monthly column for the magazine nearly 15 years ago. His phone call came out of the blue. "Sure," I responded. "How long do you want the column to be?"
"As long as you want," he said.
"What do you want me to write about?"
"Anything you want."
I was struck by my good fortune, but nonetheless asked for further explanation. "I want my magazine to have more personality," Greg explained. "And I want you to give it that." I didn't question his judgment on hiring an engineer to provide personality, but stuck my nose to the grindstone and started cranking out a column a month. We called it "On the Line" and it has had that name ever since.
My first column was about teaching my 13-year-old daughter how to drive in my 1952 MG TD-the better to ensure that her first driving experience would be something memorable. It struck a nerve apparently; when I meet readers at vintage races or car shows, they mention that column more than any other.
Sherri Collins followed Greg Brown at the magazine's helm and put her own signature on the book. Among Sherri's other enviable editorial talents is an ability to find the best titles and subtitles for stories. The woman is a title queen. Her reign was lamentably brief but her departure to other pursuits brought to the top job Les Bidrawn. Under his capable leadership the magazine has continued to hold its own, despite economic downturns and a magazine publishing industry that at times seem destined to spiral down the drain behind the nation's newspapers. Les has kept the magazine interesting and fun, and his photographer's eye has brought a whole new graphic sensibility to its pages.
Most of my columns have something to do with the things that have happened to me as a "car guy." I have to be careful here to remind you that I use the term "guy" in a non-gender-specific sense. As I've said before, I know lots of women who are "car guys." I've written about trips to that great American institution, the rapidly disappearing junkyard. I've written about how drivers from different countries drive. I've written about competing in a 55-day, 15,000-mile rally in South America, a seven-day jaunt through the Pyrenees in an East-German Trabant, and a three-month, multi-part series about my drive around the world in 2000 in a 1959 Mercedes-Benz. I've written about towing trailers, buying motorcycles, running in marathons, and why televised classic car auctions are wrecking the car hobby for "normal" car enthusiasts. Les tells me that I have always received more reader mail than anyone else and I am proud that my voice reaches so many who care enough to write a letter or e-mail.

Holder: Death penalty decision for Boston bombing suspect due by Friday
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said he will decide by Friday whether to seek the death penalty in federal court for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who is accused of carrying out the deadly terror attack alongside his late brother.
Authorities say, Tsarnaev, now 20, and his brother Tamerlan planted two homemade bombs near the Boylston Street finish line of the April 15 marathon, killing three and injuring more than 260 others.
Three days later, the pair allegedly shot and killed Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, prompting a massive day-long manhunt that ended with the death of Tamerlan, 26, and the capture of Dzhokhar, who was found hiding and injured in a dry docked boat.
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to 30 charges, including 17 that carry the potential of the death penalty. A trial date has not been set.
"Looking at (Holder's) track record, I could very well see him okaying the U.S. Attorney's request to seek the death penalty in this case," said Chris Dearborn, associate clinical professor of law at Suffolk University.
The tricky part, according to Dearborn, would be getting an entire jury on board.
"It may be harder to find a jury to consider capital punishment. The jury would have to be found impartial by a judge. Questions submitted would likely include, 'Would you be able to consider imposing a death penalty at the sentencing phase?' If jurors say, 'No, I'm morally opposed to that,' they'd get kicked off," said Dearborn.
Massachusetts, which no longer practices the death penalty, has not carried out an execution for 66 years.
Regardless, if convicted, Tsarnaev's execution could still be carried out within the state, but would likely be put off by a lengthy appeal process, Dearborn said.
Contributing factors in the death-penalty decision making process include the seriousness of the crime, the number of victims, the suspect's prior criminal history, and his acceptance of responsibility, among others.
Mitigating factors are also considered, like whether Tsarnaev, who was 19 at the time, was controlled by his older brother, Tamerlan, who has been accused of masterminding the attack.
A statewide poll conducted by The Boston Globe in September showed that 33 percent of those questioned favored the death penalty for Tsarnaev, while the majority – 57 percent – believed he should get life without parole.
The poll included answers from 704 randomly selected Bostonians.
Sixty-one percent of Democrats favored life without parole, while 49 percent of Republicans supported it.
A life sentence was endorsed by both genders, across all education levels, and among white, black and Hispanic respondents.
Earlier this month, The Boston Bar Association, which represents more than 10,000 lawyers, released an internal study taking a strong stand against federal capital punishment.
And it's not just Massachusetts; a Change.org poll, created by a Minnesota man, has racked up over 1,000 signatures opposing the death penalty for Tsarnaev.
"If I were a betting person, I'd say it's likely that the feds are going to seek the death penalty," said James Rooney, president of Mass. Citizens Against the Death Penalty.
Founded in 1928, the group is the oldest continuously active anti-death penalty organization in the nation, and has staged protests against the prospect of executing convicted killer Gary Lee Sampson, a drifter from Abington who went on a killing spree in 2001.
"I think (federal prosecutors) fear standing up in front of the press and saying, 'No, we're not seeking the death penalty,' and having to explain why," said Rooney.
"This was in a big public arena. Anybody could have been there, and a lot of people were. It affects people in a way that a lot of crime doesn't. Still, the public hasn't been jumping around and saying, 'We've got to kill this 19-year-old.'"

Twelve institutions seeking NCAA approval of a newly formed athletic conference took a step last week in moving the process forward.
The Mountain East Conference, composed of West Virginia, Virginia and Ohio schools, hand-delivered a formal application to NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis on Friday.
Reid Amos, vice president of broadcasting at West Liberty University, was selected unanimously as the league's first commissioner by the MEC board upon recommendations of the MEC's Committee of Athletic Directors.
"Reid has nearly two decades of experience with NCAA Division II athletics and has successfully led many initiatives, particularly in the areas of conference development and media enhancements," said West Liberty University President Robin Capehart, interim chair of the MEC Board. "In fact, he is currently serving as Chair of the NCAA Division II Men's Golf Committee."
Charter members of the conference are Concord University, Fairmont State University, Glenville State College, Notre Dame College, Shepherd University, the University of Charleston, the University of Virginia's College at Wise, Urbana University, West Liberty University, West Virginia State University, Wheeling Jesuit University and West Virginia Wesleyan College.
According to a news release from the MEC, the league would meet requirements for conference championships in men's and women's basketball, baseball, men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's golf, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's track and field, and volleyball.

What's the Secret to Breastfeeding Success?
There's a study that says personality can determine your breastfeeding success, but I say determination trumps personality every time.
Recently, the Journal of Advanced Nursing released a study done by Amy Brown, PhD, of Swansea University in the United Kingdom, in which a mom's personality is linked to the amount of effort and time put into breastfeeding babies. Ultimately, if a woman is more of an extrovert and less anxious in general, she had a greater chance of breastfeeding longer and seeking help to overcome obstacles verse an introvert with more anxiety, who may be more fearful to not only breastfeed around others, but is less likely to seek help.
When I read about this study, and Dr. Brown's findings, a light bulb went off in my head as I thought about the struggles I had to breastfeed my first born. While some view me as being more outgoing than others, the truth is that I do tend to be shy and fearful to ask questions of experts. The more I get to know someone, the more comfortable I am; however, that takes time for me, and is more of a struggle in real life then in social media.
Truth be told, though, is that in the four years since I had my daughter, Abby, I've gotten a lot better about being open and speaking up with questions. And as I'm a little over halfway baking baby sister, I've already begun to reach out to others for help on breastfeeding, and especially tips and tricks to boost your breast milk supply.
You see, my daughter was born with vocal cord paralysis nearly four years ago, and was unable to nurse because she aspirated. She ended up being fed via an NG tube, spending the first 11 days of her life in the hospital, and we slowly were able to wean her onto a bottle, and eventually at 6 weeks, after several weeks of trying to get her to breastfeed once we got the go ahead, Abby figured out how to latch. I thought all our problems were solved, and never spoke up to ask for help.
But really, my supply was never great. I pumped from day one; however, I was not producing enough. I never spoke up at the hospital when I first started pumping utilizing a hospital grade pump. I never sought out answers when my frozen stash of breast milk dwindled and I had to start sending formula bottles with her to daycare. And at seven months old when Abby was getting more formula than breast milk, I decided it was the end of the road for us and nursing/pumping.
And I sit here thinking about how I could have tried harder. How I could have sought assistance form a lactation consultant. How I could have reached out to other moms for support. How I could have read more on the subject of breastfeeding.
So as I'm 17 weeks away from my due date, I'm committing myself to be more proactive. I'm committed to working through my anxiousness, which has clouded my mind throughout my lifetime, to not hold my feelings and frustrations in. And if I give it my all with baby sister, and do my best, yet still find myself having struggles with breastfeeding and pumping, I'll be OK with that, because I will have known that I tried wholeheartedly. There is nothing wrong with having to utilize formula, but I just know for me and my family, we're steadfast with our desires to breastfeed.
Definitively, Dr. Brown concluded that helping moms to educate themselves about breastfeeding is key to get more moms onboard and committed. She said, "The important message from the findings is that some mothers may face more challenges with breastfeeding based on their wider personality. Although they may want to breastfeed, more introverted or anxious mothers may need further support in boosting their confidence and learning about how to solve problems, and they may need encouragement to make sure they access the breastfeeding support services that are available."
And I already think I'm on this path to helping to boost my own confidence and problem solve instead of giving up so quickly. I'm searching out local resources. I'm calling on my friends, and have already begun asking questions, especially to those who are working moms and rely on pumping at work to provide sustenance for their babies. Mostly, I'm grateful for this study, in the hopes other moms or expectant moms, just like myself, will read it and know they can overcome obstacles if they take more chances.

Home > Services > Cancer > Cancer Treatment > Smart Care Trilogy Radiation for Cancer
Genesis is one of very few hospitals nationwide and the first in Iowa to offer the Varian Trilogy system, a versatile, image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) system. Trilogy offers the highest dose rate in a shorter session, the ability to target small lesions, imaging to position patients quickly and accurately, and CT to fine-tune patient setups with ultra-precision. This combined technology means clinicians can see what they treat in real time.
Trilogy uses sophisticated technology to pinpoint the exact location of a tumor at the moment of treatment and deliver a highly focused and powerful beam of radiation. This technology can be used to treat a variety of cancers effectively and is particularly useful in treating small tumors close to critical structures or in areas that have already received treatment. The size and locations of lesions determine the treatment option that is best for individual patients.
"This is very high-tech, and I'm ready and thrilled to be able to have this treatment so close to home"-Donna Tomasson-Wright
Read Donna's Story
Trilogy is the second of two new cancer technologies to come to Genesis in the past year. In the summer of 2008, the TomoTherapy High-Art system became the first milestone in an $11 million plan to transform cancer care at Genesis. This transformation includes the next generation of cancer-fighting technology, expanded and renovated facilities, and a new focus on services for cancer patients and their families.
The ability to offer our patients TomoTherapy and Trilogy is unique among cancer care programs and elevates Genesis to elite status among cancer care centers in the nation. The two technologies make Genesis comprehensive and are important advancements over what has been previously available in the region.
Benefits of Trilogy include shortened treatment times and enhanced patient comfort. Trilogy is one of the many Smart Care technologies offered by Genesis to enable patients to resume their daily activities as quickly as possible.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — The Bucknell University Javanese Gamelan will give an informal performance Tuesday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. in the Natalie Davis Rooke Recital Hall of the Sigfried Weis Music Building.
The performance is free to the public.
The Bucknell Gamelan (Gamelan Banteng Lembah) is an ensemble of 15 members who play Central Javanese instruments in the traditional Javanese "forceful" style in the pentatonic tuning known as Slendro.
The repertoire comprises songs and melodies from various parts of Indonesia, including pieces with titles such as Forest Echoes, Singing Turtledoves, Playing Pranks, A Gift of Love, and A Thousand Weaverbirds.
The program will include a brief introduction to the instruments and explanation of their performance patterns as well as a "hands-on" opportunity for audience members to examine the instruments after the performance.
One of three in Pennsylvania
The Bucknell Gamelan, one of only three in Pennsylvania, features percussion instruments, including the saron (xylophone), bonang (kettles), gongs, and tuned drums to create the unique sound.
The gamelan is an ideal instrument for students learning the basics of Eastern music. "It is a window into one non-Western tradition that is opened fairly quickly and easily," said Jackson Hill, professor of music at Bucknell who established the ensemble.
The instruments for Bucknell's Gamelan were obtained as the result of a gift from Bucknell alumna, Dorothy Seesholtz Mullestein, Class of '48. The instruments, comprising gongs, kettles, xylophones and drums, were made in Yogyakarta, Indonesia and shipped to Lewisburg in the summer of 2004. Listen to a sample.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
In Utah, a race to rescue miners; from Minn., a focus on road safety
Disaster struck today's front page, as news came from Utah that six were trapped in a coal mine.
"'You've just got to pray … and hope they're OK,'" said The Deseret Morning News in Salt Lake City, about 140 miles from the accident site. The Morning News printed an aerial view of the canyon mine and a graphic of the shaft 1,500 feet underground. "Initial rescue called failure; cave-in first thought to be earthquake," The Charleston (W.Va.) Gazette said. The San Diego Union-Tribune pictured a rescue worker on his way to help and a community member waiting for word: "Rescuers race clock in Utah mine cave-in."
In Minnesota, the Star Tribune of Minneapolis pictured the dead and still missing in last week's collapse of an interstate bridge. "Collapse sends shock wave from here to Washington," said the St. Paul Pioneer Press, which detailed the disaster's potential impact on politics. The collapse has "focused national attention on the crumbling condition of America's roadways and bridges," The News York Times said in its lead story. The News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., was one newspaper that picked up the Times story: "Boring old roads cry for help." Bridge inspectors were pictured at work across the country, including in Roanoke, Va. USA Today published a front-page poll that showed 67% of respondents are concerned about the safety of bridges they regularly cross. The newspaper also focused on spending and inspection: "States lag in buying safety technology."
Readers of The Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk and other newspapers got fries with their morning paper. "Small fries prefer McVeggies," The Modesto (Calif.) Bee said about a study that showed preschoolers thought anything made and packaged by McDonald's -- even carrots -- tasted better. The San Jose (Calif.) Mercury News incorporated the Golden Arches in its headline.
A weather forecast is a standard feature on the front page, but today's blistering temperatures in the eastern half of the United States made the weather a full-fledged story. "The heat is on," said The Herald in Rock Hill, S.C., which pictured residents' attempts to stay cool. The Fort Worth (Texas) Star-Telegram gave a new twist to the "dog days ahead," asking: "Think you can stand the heat? The ghost chile begs to differ."

With so many new fitness chains entering the central Indiana market, will Hoosier become synonymous with svelte? The latest additions:
A Minnesota fitness chain has plans for new locations in Avon, Brownsburg, Carmel, Fishers, Franklin,
Greenwood, McCordsville, Plainfield and Shelbyville. Anytime Fitness already has opened locations in Noblesville
and Zionsville. The roughly 4,000-square-foot fitness centers feature 24-hour access. The cost of membership works out to
about $1 a day. Nationwide, Anytime has more than 1,300 locations and is opening about one per week. St. Petersburg, Fla.-based
Lifestyle Family Fitness is set to anchor a new development along 82nd Street that would replace a three-building
office park and outdoor tennis courts. The tennis courts were part of the Indianapolis Racquet Club next door. The 37,000-square-foot
fitness center is being developed by locally based Maquina Realty.

Estate Settlement: Reading the Will Is Not What You Expect
Published on - June 26th, 2012 (by J.D. Roth)
For the next week (or two), we'll be sharing "audition" pieces from folks interested in being new staff writers at Get Rich Slowly. Your job is to let us know what you think of each of these writers. Pay attention, give feedback, and after a couple of weeks we'll ask which writers you prefer. This article is from Jennifer Rose Hale. Jennifer's first audition piece was about what to expect when settling an estate.
Big life experiences: If you haven't been through them, I wrote earlier, then images from movies and TV will shape your expectations and may leave you confused. No, you (or your partner) won't give birth on an elevator or in the backseat of Brooklyn taxi accompanied by a witty but kindhearted cabbie.
And, chances are, in estate settlement, you won't experience scenes like the two pop-culture references that came to my mind in younger years:
- Jane Eyre (or anyone in pretty much any novel or movie ever) surprised by a long-lost relative leaving her a fortune.
- Christina Crawford in the camp classic "Mommie Dearest," shock frozen on her face as she learns, from mother Joan's will, that she's been completely disinherited.
Yes, I'm female. Still, no matter your gender, chances are you can picture your own television or movie scenes, grieving family crowded into a wood-paneled office, either satisfied or shocked by what they're hearing. (In a soap opera, this is usually where the never-acknowledged son or daughter comes out of the woodwork.)
Last message from Dad
As I described earlier, the first communication I received from the attorneys representing the trust was a legal document I was expected to sign — but didn't. After my siblings and I returned the forms, we received an email from the firm's representative, introducing himself and expressing sympathy for our loss.
A few weeks later, I got a large envelope in the mail with a copy of the will. (For those who commented on this after the previous piece: No, it didn't arrive immediately, and we had to pointedly ask for it to find out when to expect it.) I took one look at the envelope, set it carefully on the table and made dinner for my little boy. After he was in bed, I poured a glass of wine, gritted my teeth and finally started reading at the dining table.
No wood-paneled office, no gasps of surprise … but still one of the weirder experiences of my life. It felt like hearing my dad's voice, but filtered through a cold interpreter who only has an outdated grasp of English — a more severe Shakespeare.
Everyone has a "crumpled second page"
Setting aside movie comparisons, one of the issues most families will struggle with is secrecy — for many reasons, children don't want to talk to parents about money. I discovered in the early weeks of this process that my siblings and I had different levels of understanding about Dad's plans, and that my older siblings, who knew more, were still hamstrung by out-of-date information — plans Dad made that later changed or just vague descriptions of assets that are now proving difficult to track down.
One conversation with the attorneys turned up a "crumpled second page" of a life insurance policy, creating a need for legal detective work. (If you looked in your filing cabinet now, do you think you'd have something equivalent to a crumpled second page of something? I know I would. Dave Ramsey writes about organizing documents for your loved ones in a Legacy Drawer.)
Plan A: "Don't die"
I can understand why the secrecy — or at least reluctance to have the conversation — happens. I created a will after my son was born, making the big choice, among others, about who would get custody of my son in the event of my passing. These are choices I don't necessarily want to have to explain or defend to anyone not named in my plans.
I'm also hoping it's all moot and we never have to implement "Plan B." (As I always say, "Plan A is 'Don't die.'")
We also, of course, don't want to think about dying (see "Plan A"), and we certainly don't want to suggest to our older relatives that we think about their ends. It's an awkward conversation to have. I will join the chorus of voices advising you to have the conversation about estate planning, no matter how awkward.
The big reveal
You can understand why I won't go into details about what my dad had or what he left; I know J.D. has worked through his own issues about what to share and not share publicly, and I have my own privacy as well as my family's to consider and respect.
I ended up reading through the multiple estate documents once that night — and again the next day. Just like with Shakespeare, eventually I got it. And what the paperwork left me with was a sense that Dad had done a Herculean job of being equitable — to his wife (our stepmother), my three siblings and me. He was pretty smart with his money throughout his adult life, and he was smart with it at his passing.
It was also, strangely, sweet. While some assets exist in the trust, certain items are to be disbursed through the will — special coins he purchased (one for each child, of course), a car, a boat … and two electric bicycles. I remember hearing about the coins from my stepmother, and the bicycles, which he was quite proud of, from my dad.
The will, though, only answered a few questions, and three months later, we're still looking for all the answers.
…to be concluded…
This article is about Planning, Real-Life, Relationships
Interesting comment about the older siblings knowing more. Make sense when kids are younger, but when everyone is an adult, why not be open and honest about everything to everyone?
I think in many cases the older siblings are the ones who tend to have more of the parents trust. In a way they generally gave older siblings more responsibility to "watch" their younger siblings, do a lionshare of chores, etc. In addition the older sibling often carries more implied authority than the younger ones (i.e. they are the ones the parents likely put in charge of the family when they are not present), so there is less likely to be bickering (or the parent making the will may feel like that should be the case). Also, dependant on the generation or culture, some folks are just hung up on the oldest child taking on that responsibility. In the end though it often depends on when the will was written or updated and who is close to the parents, both physically and emotionally, at that time.
It could be because they asked…I know I'm the only sibling in my family who has straightforwardly asked my parents what they are planning to do, and had suggestions as to what they could do differently. My Mom is pretty open about things, but my Dad tends to change his mind and not tell her – which can lead to difficulties, unless you expect it.
I read these articles and frankly I don't want to read more on the subject. But yet, death is one of those certain things in life, and really we should be more prepared.
Actually one for JD (or others who don't plan on having kids), how do you plan for that quiet day?
My husband or I has received an inheritance a total of three times. Once I got a check for $1000 from a grandfather. Another time, we got a joint check for $4800 when my deceased mother inlaw's house sold. And finally we got a surprise check in the mail when a spinster friend of my husband's family left him a little more than $9000.
Anyway, maybe because the amounts are small but I never saw or heard the wills. Possibly (I can't recall) we saw my mother in law's while cleaning out her home but that will amounted to all her assets should be equally divided among her children and their spouses. And all she owned was a house in a less than safe neighborhood. After paying for the funeral and the house cleanout, $4800 was all that was left to distribute.
"Big life experiences: If you haven't been through them, I wrote earlier, then images from movies and TV will shape your expectations and may leave you confused."
No, actually, they won't. Television and movies are not reality, and anyone who gets them confused with reality probably should not be writing a blog that is supposed to be on a practical matter (i.e., personal finance).
I agree with everyone that says that this piece was just fluffy filler and that breaking it down into three separate entries was a mistake.
Ok, more useful criticism:
First, I don't feel like I can give you a full overview right now because I haven't seen the entire piece. If some of this is addressed later on, then feel free to ignore it.
The title states, "reading the will is not what you expect". I think all of the examples and analogies given could be compressed into about a paragraph. I think the goal was to show that it's all pretty mundane. So, to do that, I would think 3 examples or so would work–you could use the movie thing, how everyone aims for "Plan A", and how "Plan B", if not done well, makes a bad time harder. That can all be scrunched into a paragraph (main idea–wills are pretty mundane).
Then, you mention that you will join the chorus of people advising everyone to talk to their parents about estate plans. This would be a good paragraph on its own–you could mention a few specific (but not personally revealing) details that could have been avoided if you (or your siblings) had completed that discussion. I'm thinking of things like what you mentioned on the "crumpled second page".
After that, I would mention the glass of wine and the will if you want to. I'm pretty neutral on its inclusion–it's a personal story, and it's a personal touch, but at the same time it doesn't really advance the idea. It's also a good opportunity to look at the writer and get a personal feel for how that person is and thinks.
Finally, I would probably tie the last portion of this article in after that.
I think this review is a little better than my first.
I did like the imagery of the "crumpled second page" and I could relate to that. I also liked how you mention how you felt everything should be more dramatic, but it's not–it's just normal. I thought that was a nice way to see a bit of your personality (some people, no matter how normal something is, will find drama).
Really liked the first article. I don't think the cliffhanger was a good move in this case though…now the third installment better be mind-blowing.
Still, an interesting piece overall. The bit about the crumpled second page is very true.
Its kind of like the "wallet audit" that J.D. recommended a while ago. We THINK everything is taken care of but there is always a few loose ends that people tend to forget. The effect of "forgetting" that item will cost us when shit hits the fan.
I understand the criticisms regarding drawing the posts out and not concluding, but I must say, I enjoy the writer's voice and choice of topic.
I enjoyed the writer's voice.
Oh, this is beautiful.
My Mom wrote her Will years ago when she was mad at my brother and I. Not that there was anything to leave, as she had bankrupted herself financially and morally to support my other brother, the now deceased drug addict/alcoholic/criminal. She left her heavily mortgaged house to my spendthrift/lottery ticket addicted unemployed sister in a life estate (so long as she can afford it, she can live in it). She ALSO left her a $100,000 life insurance policy, to be placed in trust to be used for the care and maintenance of that house during my sister's occupancy.
Oh, yeah, you know what's coming next.
In the last few years Mom lightened up and in her last months I was made responsible for a lot of her care. Mom died last summer. That $100,000 was gone before Christmas. And the Will was never even probated.
Now you're going to say I should consult a lawyer. I'm a paralegal and work for an estate attorney.
I'm just sitting back and watching the show.
Sounds like you had a great dad! I know we'll all have to deal with this some day and hopefully everyone will have a will to guide them. I believe both of our parents have a will, but I think it will take a lot of time to sort through the assets and documents.

The New Jersey Lottery is teaming up with the New York Lottery to launch the first Northeast regional draw-based "For Life" game, CASH4LIFE, in the two states.
CASH4LIFE offers two jackpot prizes: one is $1000 per day for life, and the other is $1000 a week for the rest of his or her life.
"This is the first draw-based, Northeast regional 'for-life' game," said Judith Drucker, public relations manager of the New Jersey State Lottery. "We're always looking for innovative games to engage and entertain the public."
The NY and NJ Lotteries are holding an event Friday at the Flatiron Public Plaza between 12 and 2 p.m. where the public will have the opportunity to grab some cash out of two money machines on site. The Lottery's overarching goal is to generate revenue for its beneficiaries, Drucker said.
Lottery beneficiaries include: veterans homes, community and other colleges and universities, school nutrition programs, homes for the developmentally disabled, psychiatric hospitals, higher education scholarship programs and the Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf. Last fiscal year, the Lottery contributed more than $1 billion to the state.
