KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Have you ever ridden in a Ford Tri-motor? It's not a car, its an airplane, a very old airplane, in fact it was the first plane used as a commercial airliner back in the 20's and 30's. They have 2 at the Air Zoo and to keep them flying they give rides.
Pilot Cody Welch says they may be museum pieces but they were built to fly. They will be giving rides this weekend thru next wed. The flight is sort of an aerial tour of Kalamazoo.
After that they hit the road, barnstorming the Midwest, making the plane work for its keep.
The planes are owned by the Air Zoo and they are based in Kalamazoo.Rides cost $80 which is a bargain compared to what they charge to ride in a B-17 or a liberator. You can book them through the Air Zoo.

Dear Clean Beauties
I apologise for my mini-break from the blog - but I have been cooking up something very exciting and it has momentarily turned my attention away!
I promise to be back on board delivering new reviews, clean regimes and how-tos very soon, but in the meantime I would be super-duper-with-a-cherry-on-top grateful if you could please complete a survey for me. It will take less than 2 minutes (promise!) to complete… pretty please?!

Logan • Tavaris McMillian spent Saturday night in front of a television, and on his phone, his Twitter page a few clicks away.
Each time Bobby Wagner made a tackle or a good play in his NFL preseason debut for the Seattle Seahawks, McMillian took to social media. By the end of the night, his timeline was full.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"He's like a big brother to me," McMillian said. "He's at the place where I want to go."
The sophomore linebacker from South Florida formed a strong bond with Wagner last season. Now, he has the challenge of replacing one of the best defenders the Aggies have ever had.
He was an outside linebacker in 2011, a redshirt freshman with little pressure. Now, McMillian is moving inside. The defense will count on him to make plays. Coach Gary Andersen is emphasizing leadership with McMillian, and with a young linebacking corps, he is needed to provide it.
"He's going to be big for us this season," Andersen said. "He's one of the main guys now. He has to replace a lot of the production we lost with Bobby and Kyle Gallagher. We're all confident in him. He's gotten faster, stronger and he's put on weight. He's had a good offseason, and he looks like he's ready to go."
McMillian has impressed with his speed so far this season, as well as his work ethic. In high school, he played on the inside, so he's familiar with the position.
He's set the bar high for himself. McMillian dreams of leading the Western Athletic Conference in tackles, like Wagner did. He feels that he should be one of the best defenders in the league before he's done as an Aggie.
"The key for me is being a better player every day," McMillian said. "I want to make the defense better whenever I'm playing. We have a lot of young guys on defense, but we're talented and we've learned in the system. We just have to go and do it now."

Many aspiring, and even some established, Bollywood actresses willingly shed clothes and enact
titillating scenes to get roles in films but Ayesha Takia is so against skin show and titillating scenes
that she makes her producers sign a contract which states that she will not be asked to show skin or
enact sexual intimacy on screen.
She believes her talent and not her assets will draw her fans and producers to her and she walks her talk with a contract that states that stipulates that she will not be asked to show skin or enact sexual intimacy on screen.
The actress feels strongly that her acting speaks everything and only that draw her fans and producers to her.
Ayesha revealed in a TV interview hosted by Rajeev Masandthat on CNN-IBN that she had used such a contract from the very beginning of her career even though it had become public knowledge just recently.
When Masand quizzed on her reasons for insisting on such a contract, suggesting that perhaps she was not comfortable with her body Ayesha responded, "It is not about being uncomfortable, its about something that works for someone's life and does not work for someone else's life. I have a family that I am extremely close to. I have a whole life to go back to.."
"Tomorrow when I have children I want my children to say that our mom was a good actress...not that she was this sex symbol"
Ayesha was the original choice for the steamy Neal n Nikki produced under the Yash Raj banner. However, she turned down the film because the story involved not just skimpy dresses but intimate kissing and sex scenes.
"The things they had in the film, I completely don't agree with," said Ayesha.
The actress said that it does not matter to her who the director is or what the banner is. "It depends on me because I have to live with the decision."
While most starlets tend to hide their romantic relationships, citing possible fan disenchantment, but more likely because they are not sure if romantic relationship is what they are in. Ayesha, however, proclaims her love for her boy friend boldly insisting that she is not just dating him but madly in love with him!
She will be next seen in Naseeruddin Shah's directorila debut Yun Hota To Kya Hota.

Probiotic VS Antibiotic
We are living in a time of Instant Information, and consumers are over-inundated with incomplete facts. In the health industry, it is pertinent to get all the facts.
For example, many consumers misunderstand and misuse the terms antibiotic and probiotic. These terms are becoming popular in our culture, but consumers do not know the concise definition.
Although the two sound similar, they are, in fact, very different. If we break down the two words we are left with three main parts: anti- (against), pro- (for), and -biotic (having to do with life or living organisms).
There is more to this than just the meanings of these three components.
What are Antibiotics?
In the health industry, antibiotics are drugs that are used to treat bacterial infections. Most of these antibiotics are derived from bacteria or molds and either kill the intended bacterial target or stop them from reproducing. The body's natural immune defenses take over and remove them from the body.
Note that one antibiotic does not treat all types of bacterial infections. Penicillin is not a magical cure all. Doctors and veterinarians prescribe a specific antibiotic for the specific bacterial infection.
...And Probiotics?
On the other hand, probiotics by definition are organisms that contribute to the overall health of GI Tracks. People often refer to probiotics as "friendly" or "good" bacteria to differentiate between good bacteria and disease/infection-causing bacteria.
When looking at these definitions, it may appear that antibiotics work against probiotics, but most this isn't the case exactly. Again, most antibiotics treat specific bacteria or bacterial infection, so taking an antibiotic will not kill all the bacteria in a digestive system, but it will kill a portion of the beneficial gut flora.
Naturally, all organisms have probiotics in their digestive systems, most of which line the digestive system's walls. Newborn individuals get their first probiotics from their mothers' milk.
How do I get Probitics?
Supplements offer a way to improve the amount of beneficial bacteria in the digestive systems of animals and humans. A widely used probiotic is Lactobacillus acidophilus, most commonly found in yogurt, can be found in many supplements. There are several strains of probiotic bacteria with different uses and benefits. That is why you may see multiple types of bacteria in a probiotic product.
Using probiotic supplements is a way to administer a large number of the beneficial bacteria, which then can effectively colonize the digestive system. The more probiotic organisms that colonize the lining of the digestive system, the fewer amount of spaces there are for bad bacteria to infect.
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is a common problem associated with antibiotic use in both humans and animals. Taking a probiotic in conjunction with an antibiotic is especially beneficial, because taking probiotics can help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea and other related antibiotic side effects.
To help keep everyone healthy, find a probiotic and keep it handy for use in association with antibiotics, or better yet – start a daily probiotic regimen for even better results!

I am a frequent reader of children's books. I can't help it. I have two small children of my own who have voracious appetites for books, so reading and reviewing this book seemed a welcomed challenge.
As many adults can attest there is no lack of books for children and most of it just doesn't keep you coming back for more – even though such sentiment may not be shared by your child. I dove straight into this book with a willful giddiness because it explored the largely forgotten topic of peace. Not the typical child peace story that takes place during recess, but an actual story of someone engaging in nonviolent action to thwart bloodshed. These are the stories that I want my children to be versed in, exposed to, and ultimately to possess in their own right.
The two short stories that Timar shares in regard to the life of Queen Isabel are remarkable stories in many ways. This is like no other Queen story out there and certainly not one I've come across in my own peace studies research. Timar should be commended for shedding light to this story and also for researching so many paintings, sculptures and maps that decorate the pages of this short book. Timar invites the reader into the life of Queen Isabel – tumultuous as it was. He spares the gore in favor of a lighter version, but the story and its profundity are adequately retold. Timar's writing does not inherently draw the reader in as some children's books do; but it certainly succeeds in exposing an ancient story of peace that should be told for generations to come. Thank you Eric – and here's to more works on peace.
If you found this post interesting, you might like to read these posts as well:
Two children's books I recommend…
Tim Ladwig's Psalm 23. Simply the Psalm and on each page an, um, urban inspired picture. As four children walk to school the Psalm plays out with various nefarious characters with the children winding up safely at home, in the grand-parents house, at the table. Beautiful pictures and probably the most relevant telling of Psalm 23 I've ever read.
Enemy Pie by Derek Munson. Our main character is bullied by a new neighbor. His dad talks him into making an "enemy pie" to give to the bully. The child wonders what's in it? worms? Poison? Nope, something much worse…delicousness!
The peace book for children I most often recommend is Six Crows by Leo Lionni; a farmer and a flock of crows fall into a wasteful "arms race" until a wise owl talks some sense into them.

#8 Prospect: Taylor Chorney
Current Rank: #8
Summer 2009: #14
The best thing I've ever read about Taylor Chorney came from Geoff Ward in the fall of 2005. He said "This is a guy that every game I have seen him in has gotten better. As a freshman playing against 22 and 23-year olds it can be intimidating, but he's done a good job. Chorney is steady in all areas and that is what stands out. He's a strong passer, moves the puck well and what I really like is that he follows the puck up ice so he's always in position to be the 4th man."
Current Springfield coach Rob Daum has been quoted a few times in regard to Chorney and those quotes serve as a bookend to Ward's comments. Here's what he told Coming Down the Pipe earlier this fall: The thing with Taylor is that it is a huge adjustment from going from college to the American Hockey League. Especially as a defenseman, I think that's the most difficult transition to make. When I saw him here (Springfield) last season he seemed to be all over the map position wise and because of that he put himself in spots where he wasn't able to defend properly. What we wanted to do is make him positionally sound so the game would be a little bit easier, his reads would be more defined. So when he did get the puck his options would be in front of him.
More Daum: If there was an area of his game I thought he needed to improve it was the defensive side. He's not a big man, so he has to be sure he's sound positionally in order to defend against players who are bigger and stronger than he is. I think that's one of the things he did a great job improving at the end of last season. I think he carried that over this year and he hasn't looked out of place at the NHL level this season. When you're in the right spot, the game is a little bit easier for you. Taylor is a great skater and has an ability to move the puck and he's gained some confidence in his game.
Chorney's size (5.11, 182–he's about the same size as Lubo) is going to be an issue forever, and I don't know that there are a dozen D that size who are effective two-way defenders in the game today. nhl.com lists 256 defenders who have played in the show this season and the overwhelming majority are bigger (and certainly stronger) than Chorney. In order to be an effective NHL defender Chorney is going to have to improve on the finer points of the game (as mentioned above) and learn to be a contributor on the PP (if he has a career, part of the reason will be special teams). So far in his NHL career Chorney's done what pretty much all rookies do: bleed. In 15 career games with the Oilers, the young defenseman is -10 and in 72 AHL games Chorney is -33.
After the lockout NHL teams felt (with the rule changes) that smaller, mobile and intelligent defenders would replace those slow men like Cory Cross and in many ways that's exactly what has happened over these years. Problem is you still have to learn to play defense and these college kids don't seem to adjust quickly to the pro game. One of the comparables I've used in the past for Taylor Chorney is Ottawa's Brian Lee (although Lee is bigger) who was recently sent to the minors in order to get his game back on track.
Chorney can move the puck and we've seen him have good shifts and periods when paired with a veteran. However, there are some real concerns about size and strength and even when experience takes over down the line there are going to be shortcomings. I've ranked him behind Peckham and Petry, but ahead of the rest of the D this time around but the fact is Taylor Chorney could easily be the best of the bunch if things break right and he can learn the trade. I rank him 8th overall (and behind Peckham and Petry) because of size and strength and because those things are incredibly important for defensemen. And so is experience, so it goes without saying that he'd be better off playing all year for Daum in Springfield this season.

Alabama's Department of Homeland Security has released the above six-minute video on how to survive a mass shooting incident.
The sobering video is more disturbing than graphic, but the advice seems sound.
Two things to note as you watch: First, the lack of a deus ex machina. No one comes to the rescue with a pocketed firearm. The possibility isn't even addressed. Secondly, you have to wonder what the grade-school version would look like.
From the Associated Press:
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama Department of Homeland Security has released a video that instructs people on what to do in the event of a shooting like the one at an elementary school in Connecticut.
Gov. Robert Bentley asked Alabama Homeland Security officials to develop a strategic plan for dealing with such incidents after a gunman killed 20 students and six adults Dec. 14 at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. The shooter also killed himself.
The release of the video comes as Alabama officials seek ways to prevent similar incidents. A state legislator, Rep. Kerry Rich o Albertville, said he is working on legislation that would allow schools to arm some teachers or other employees. The workers to be armed would be chosen by the system's superintendent. Also, state officials have scheduled a meeting for Jan. 9 in Montgomery for legislators, law enforcement and education officials to discuss possible ways to prevent such shootings.
A spokesman for the governor, Jeremy King, said the video was originally produced by the Houston Police Department. It was released in Alabama with a short introduction by state Homeland Security Director Spencer Collier.
The video depicts a shooting inside an office.
Other measures taken include additional training for law enforcement and continued use of a hotline and website where citizens can report suspicious people or situations.
Collier said it cost less than $5,000 to add the introduction, edit the video to make it compatible for an Alabama audience and distribute it. That expenditure was approved by the Legislature's Contract Review Committee, said Collier, a former House member from Mobile County and an ex-state trooper.
"I encourage you to be prepared," Collier said in his introduction. In the video, a man, dressed in black shoots several workers as he casually strolls through the crowded office. The narrator offers several pieces of advice, including:
— "Encourage others to leave with you, but don't let them get in your way."
— "Remember what's important is not your stuff. Leave your belongings behind."
— "Your survival may depend on whether or not you have a plan."
Although the video was made before the Connecticut shootings, Collier said it was originally scheduled to be distributed in January. But that was moved up because of the shooting at the elementary school.
Collier said the video will be offered for training purposes to law enforcement agencies. It will also be used to help train education officials and private employers.
He said Homeland Security officials have found the best course of action is to offer training to a few selected individuals and then let them train others. Collier said his department would work with education officials to make sure the video matches safety plans already in existence for schools.

According to the FBI annual crime statistics, the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outnumbers the number of murders committed with a rifle.
This is an interesting fact, particularly amid the Democrats' feverish push to ban many different rifles, ostensibly to keep us safe of course.
Another interesting fact: According to the FBI, nearly twice as many people are killed by hands and fists each year than are killed by murderers who use rifles.
Alright everybody, freeze! Hold your hands out so the libs can chop them off! We're gonna letcha keep your teethers but let me warn ya, no biting anybody! Or else.
Unless you live in a minority neighborhood in Chicago, then here, have this assault weapon. Kill that little girl, the one over there. We won't do nothing about it.

It all began last month when the agency, which is primarily responsible for distributing benefits to the disabled and retired people, posted an announcement seeking bids for 174,000 hollow-point bullets.
In the face of the furor, the Social Security Administration's public affairs shop — which spends most of its time issuing releases about speeding disability decisions or looking up benefits information — issued a statement explaining that its 295 agents need the bullets for target practice and to protect the agency's 66 offices across the nation.
Aahhh, yes, our government protects itself but not our kids.

One thought to protest our Children while at school.
1. Take funding from Shady Deals guards Put more SROS in school;s. Deal has victor hill to protect him.
2. Reinstate fuel tax on Delta.
3.Or simply move all the cops running radar on I75/85/285 etc to the schools. Let the GSP handle the interstates. Train the Hazmat people to direct traffic as it seams there are an abundance of them standing around doing nothing when a accident spills a little fuel.

Doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes or a Dr. House to know the best thing to do is to arrest the faction obviously committing these mass shootings…so conveniently without any security camera footage, or any of the multiple shooter/psychos credible witnesses and aerial photography confirm.
Bet good money the same Fed Scam "Big Oil" faction we know popped JFK and did 9/11 is who's doing these shootings to disarm the People.
Let's arrest the Rockefellers and Rothschilds and the corrupt elements in the Opus Dei FBI, Knights of Malta CIA and Mossad, and re-establish the New Israel, the prophesied Zion our ancestors founded in covenant with the Creator.
America is G-d's Promised Land. All the evil which has befallen us can all be traced to the satanic Entity our Founder and Prophet Th. Jefferson correctly identified as "the real Anti-Christ," "an engine for enslaving mankind."
Iceland threw them of their backs…G-d's grace shall allow us to do the same…and be the generation which witnesses Babylon fall in a day.

Well if at least one person in the setting had a gun then more may survive. If you can not carry a gun then make sure you find a gun control freak in your office and make sure you throw that person at the shooter while you run the other way.

In Britain OVER 50% of burglaries are home invasions with armed suspects. Armed with knives, clubs, and yes…occasionally guns (gasp!). If you think moving there is safer just think of this advice given by the British Home Office on being burglarized.
"Stay calm and still, do not attempt to challenge or confront the intruders. Do not make eye contact or speak unless spoken to."
What a country!

Aesop* … the only thing interesting about the fact that far more murders are committed using hammers and clubs than guns is that anyone would find it particularly interesting. After all, every home has a hammer (often more than one), and clubs (or club-like objects) are a dime-a-dozen … they're everywhere. Nor is any training required to use a hammer or club … first-timers of any age do very well. Nor do they have to be maintained to keep them in good working order. Nor is any preparation required … just pick one up start swinging. Nor do they attract much attention … the dull thud of a broken body doesn't travel very far. Nor is any planning required … just fly into a rage and go for it. So, Is it really any wonder?
January 4th, 2013

So we should ban hammers and clubs and boards and sticks and big branches?
January 4th, 2013
7:18 am
Alabama may try to arm some teachers? Well, let's see, what will they arm them with, and M-60 machine gun? A teacher's job is to teach, not to maintain a state of readiness against an armed attack on the school.
The NRA has forced some in the Republican Party into the radical position of creating an arms race in our schools. It does not bother me too much that the Republicans continue to climb further out on the limb because it makes it that much more effective when the time comes to cut the limb off.

Given the number of hateful, spiteful, ignorant, crazy-azz, psycho murther effers that surround us (including the ones who post here how proud they are of their little pistols), we never know how many days we have left. Make today count! Well, that's the lesson I took from it, anyway.

Aesop, the FBI data you include (more deaths by blunt objects and hands/fists than rifles) is misleading and clouds the issue, but that's your point. Right? This type of canard is trumpeted by individuals and media outlets as if it somehow proves the logic of your argument. It doesn't. In 2011, according to the FBI, blunt objects accounted for 3.9% of homicides. Personal weapons (hands, etc.) accounted for 5.7% of homicides. Firearms, on the other hand, accounted for 67.7% of homicides in 2011. Almost 70%, over two-thirds of homicides are the result of firearms. Of that number, yes, rifles only accounted for 2.5% of homicides, but the number of homicides by handguns is almost 4 times larger than the next largest group of weapons (knives). Guns are the leading cause of death by homicide in the U.S. Period. For those interested, the most recent data is available in the report, "Crime in the United States 2011." Finally, if outlawing assault rifles saved even half of those killed by rifles in 2011, that would be a victory to me.

The Second Amendment is sacrosanct: Those unable to understand that an individual's sovereignty cannot be maintained without the means at hand to effect it are not yet worthy of the name American, or Georgian.
Holiness and righteousness extends from the Creator, Our Sovereign by Covenant and Creed, and goes person to person, family to family, neighborhood to neighborhood, city to city. Entire swathes of our prophesied Promised Land are now fiefdoms of corruption, moral swamps of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Shall Atlanta and Georgia be swayed by the transparent evils others embrace?
Only those willfully blind or consciously in service to the evil which knows the Second Amendment's reason for existence – resistance to the tyrannical powers patently obvious in Col. Hunt's confession to the unpunished Bush/Nixon/CIA assassination of our president which sent 58,000 of us to die shedding the blood of millions of innocents, and went on to further secure their unconstitutional money franchise by committing 9/11 – pretend to be ignorant of the anomalies present in the Aurora, Sikh Temple, and Newtown shootings.
G-d is not mocked. Truth and Justice is divine.

A.Gary Katz, a finish
carpenter in Reseda, Calif., and the moderator of
the JLC Online finish-carpentry forum,
responds: With a list price of about $850,
Kreg's semiautomatic Foreman pocket-hole
cutter is a lot more expensive than the
company's $150 K3 Master System kit
But if you do more than a couple of cabinet or
wainscoting jobs a year, the Foreman will more than
pay for itself. It's fast — it
clamps your material and drills the hole with a
single motion — and it's about
the same size and weight as a portable table saw,
so it's not difficult to transport from
job site to job site. It comes in both electric and
pneumatic versions.
If the Foreman sounds too expensive, the
original Kreg jig is still available for around
$100 — but the K3 kit is a great upgrade
for not a lot more money. Kreg has improved the
toggle clamp on the bench-mounted jig so that,
instead of locking away from you, it locks into
position toward you, making it easier to push the
lever down with the drill in your hand. Also, the
linkage on the new clamp includes a spring, so if
your material isn't all precisely the same
thickness, you don't have to fiddle with
adjusting the clamp in the middle of drilling
pocket holes. And if you're into dust
collection — a good idea when cutting
pocket holes — the new K3 kit includes a
dust shroud. Removing the dust while you work
speeds up drilling and increases bit life.

Youve just graduated from college and landed your first adult job. You dream of fancy vacations, designer clothes and a cool apartment. Then, like the average U.S. college graduate, you receive your first payment due notice for the $23,000 youve racked up in student debt.
And youve just learned your first adult lesson: Its time to pay up.
What life really costs is a hard lesson to learn, said Ellen Siegel, a certified financial planner with Ellen R. Siegel & Associates in Miami. College loan debt can be a big anchor around the neck of a recent graduate who is ready to enjoy the rewards of years of hard work in the classroom. On July 1, the interest rates on some federal loans doubled, which means future borrowers will face a larger burden.
The biggest challenges for [graduates with student loans] are prioritizing the debt as the first thing they pay off, and not quantifying what life really costs, Siegel said Theyre so in a hurry to get a paycheck and not be impoverished students.
Johnny Aguilar De Dios of Miami graduated from Florida International University in April with a bachelors degree in psychology and more than $20,000 in student loan debt. He works 17 to 28 hours a week at Best Buy Mobile in Doral while he looks for a full-time work in his field.
Everything I make is going towards living expenses like gas and food, said Aguilar De Dios, 24. Any little money that is left over is going towards savings, or to pay on credit card bills and my car note. I havent started paying my student loan yet.
Young adults graduating with high hopes and a burden of student debt need to have with a firm grasp of their financial situation in order to stabilize it, experts say.
Start with good habits
To a recent college grad, the first full-time job may come with a paycheck that looks like it will last forever. To someone who has only worked part-time, $40,000 may seem like a tremendous amount of money, said Ashley OKurley, a certified financial planner with John Hancock Financial Services in Miami. But if its the first time on your own, the bills will add up quickly. You have to watch spending and practice living within your means, from the start.
When it comes to financial planning, so much is habit based, OKurley said. The choices you make and the habits you develop will affect you throughout your life, he said. Make good habits.
Get a look at the big picture
If your parents have a financial planner, ask for a free consultation. I dont know any of my peers who would not give the child of a client an hour, Siegel said.
Learn the terms of your student loan, so you can understand your payment options. Stafford loans have a six-month grace period, while Perkins loans offer a nine-month period before the first payment is due. The grace period for private and other types of federal loans vary.
Federal loans typically have a 10-year term, but there are ways to extend the term and lower your payment if you cant afford the monthly note. The U.S. Department of Education, www.studentaid.ed.gov, has information on deferment and forbearance programs that delay repayment. The Project on Student Debt, www.ibrinfo.org, has information on income-based repayment plans.
Aguilar De Dios applied for and received forbearance, which delays the first payment of his federal student loans until January 2014. The loan will continue to build interest, but it will delay the payments until I am on more sound financial footing, he said. I firmly believe that a new job with better hours and better pay will help me manage my finances.
Make a budget
People have no idea where their money is going, said Austin Frye, a certified financial planner with Frye Financial Center in Aventura. They dont want to budget, because they dont want to know.
Download a spending plan worksheet at www.mint.com or www.quicken.com and figure out how much real life costs, Siegel said. Factor in student debt, housing, transportation, clothing, food, entertainment and health insurance. If you dont have enough money to cover everything, figure out where you can cut. Can you live in a smaller apartment? Buy a used, instead of a new car? Get a roommate?
Look at your monthly earnings. Subtract 25 to 30 percent for taxes. Now subtract your expenses. Whats left?
If its zero or below zero, you either have to cut the expenses or increase the revenue, Frye said.
Just say no to credit cards
Recent grads are bombarded with credit card offers, and some mistakenly take them all, Siegel said. Some young adults dont understand that credit cards have to be paid back, and that you have to pay interest, she said.
Be strategic about the debt you incur. Prioritize, Frye said. After your student loan debt, housing should be your next priority. Because mortgage interest rates are at record lows and real estate prices are still down, it may be an opportune time to buy, he said. Consumer debt, or using credit cards to finance things like new clothes or fun, should be your lowest priority, he said.
Remember that credit cards often come with the highest interest rates, OKurley said.
Pay your discretionary expenses like going out to a bar with friends, only in cash, Siegel said. When youre not using plastic, money is very real.
Maintain your credit
Work out a plan to pay your debt on time, or your credit will take a hit. One way is to set up automatic debits from your checking account to pay your student loan, Siegel said.
Maintain the integrity of your credit, Frye said. A lot of people are casual about accumulating debt and declaring bankruptcy. People have to be careful about that.
A bad credit score can not only make it more expensive to get more credit when you need it, through higher fees or interest rates, it could also cost you a job.
Frye said his company recently declined to hire a good job candidate when they learned the person had bad credit. The credit report is a marker of how a person handles responsibility, he said.
Manage your debt
Uncontrolled debt is the silent killer of a financial plan, Frye said. The clients who really sink, who end up in foreclosure or with a mountain of bills they cant pay, are the ones who never learned to take control, he said.
You dont have to avoid debt altogether, because you need it to buy a home or a car. Its your best friend and your worst enemy, he said. You just have to be smart about it.
Buy at the right price, at the right interest rate for the right amount of time, he said.
If you can manage your debt throughout your life, you can always do well, Frye said.
Postpone leaving home
Mom and Dad shouldnt jeopardize their retirement by paying off your debt, but they can give you a place to stay. Being a boomerang kid, or one who returns home after college, may be a good strategy to solidify your financial footing, Siegel said. Use the time to maintain a stable job and income, save for a car or apartment or work your way up to a better paying job.
Aguilar De Dios lives at home with his parents and a younger sister. He said he has seen friends who move out struggle to pay their bills. Im saving money, and being more conscious of where my money is going and what I am saving for, he said.
The world is different now, its a very legitimate choice to go home, Siegel said.
Go back to school
Returning to school will delay the payment of your student loans, but if you need to borrow more, youre digging yourself deeper in debt, Siegel said. Make sure the career field you want will allow you to pay off that debt.
Heres a cautionary tale: One middle-aged client with three doctorate degrees and $400,000 in student loan debt has chosen a career field that will never allow him to pay off his debt, Siegel said. He continues to struggle with paying all of his expenses, she said.
Invest in yourself
Good money management is more than paying off your highest interest debt first, OKurley said. You have to be balanced, and pay down debt, watch spending, and put something aside for emergencies.
Take advantage of an IRA, 401K or 403B offered by an employer, at least up to the company match. Then you can take advantage of the snowball effect of compounding interest, Siegel said. Frye said to look at your 401K plans website for wealth-building tips, like how much you need to save for how long to meet your goals.
Look at 10 years ahead and decide where you want to be, then figure out what you have to do to get there, Siegel said.
Aguilar De Dios said he would like to go to graduate school, and is studying for the entrance exam. Im investing in myself, to be a better person, and to have a better life, he said.
Above all, dont let debt drag you down, OKurley said. Remember why you went to college in the first place, he said. There may be a big burden of debt hanging around your neck, and debt can be daunting, but investing in yourself is going to worth it in the long run. Improving yourself through education is the value that you will get out of this debt.

The debate about Graham Hancock's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Graham Hancock's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Graham Hancock's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.
Chris Anderson, TED Curator

Harry GrahamMar 29 2013: Hancock's talk lacks the reference to the rigorous scientific research which would make his argument absolutely sound. So, however, do almost all TED talks. On these grounds TED has applied a double-standard in regards to the organisation's decision to distance itself from the talk. TED labelled the talk pseudo-scientific, perhaps not entirely unfairly, yet the organisation's accusation does not seem to be based on the content of the talk alone. In the context of the talk Hancock predominantly makes mere allusion to any outright claims (other than those claims which are thoroughly uncontroversial). Much of his language seems to be based around telling a narrative in order to let the audience infer what they will. This in itself could be viewed as problematic, but again, such a characteristic is not only a feature of Hancock's TED talk. Does this, once more, illustrate the TED organisation's use of double standards? The very fact that the, generally controversial, field of discourse runs against the status quo of scientific thought and research is no reason to effectively censor Hancock, yet in this case it seems to be the underlying cause of TED's application of a double standard, certainly I can see no other.
Mar 29 2013: I think TED has made a shameful effort to make an example of Hancock as a pseudo-scientist who is not welcomed in the community.
The only sin he committed was to challenge people to think for themselve rather than conform to the dogmatic gate keepers of knowledge in the scientific community (TED).

Press release submitted by Genesis Health System
Genesis Hospitals awarded "A" grades for patient safety by Hospital Safety ScoreSM
WASHINGTON, DC -- Nov. 29, 2012 -- Genesis Medical Center, Davenport and Genesis Medical Center, Illini Campus have each been awarded "A" grades from Hospital Safety Score.SM
Hospital Safety ScoreSM is a quality and safety monitoring program of The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits.
The Hospital Safety ScoreSM is calculated twice each year under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group's Blue Ribbon Expert Panel using publicly available data on patient injuries, medical and medication errors, and infections. U.S. hospitals were assigned an A, B, C, D, or F for their safety.
"This is a recognition of all employees at Genesis who have worked so hard collaboratively to provide the safest environment possible for patients,'' said Doug Cropper, President and CEO, Genesis Health System. "We have made safety a system-wide emphasis and involved every employee in our safety goals.
"We're very proud to be recognized for high achievement in patient safety."
"Hospitals like Genesis that earn an A have demonstrated their commitment to the their patients and their community," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "We congratulate Genesis Medical Center for its safety excellence and look forward to the day when all hospitals will match this standard.''
To see Genesis Health System hospital scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit www.hospitalsafetyscore.org, which also provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay.
Calculated under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group's nine-member Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single score representing a hospital's overall capacity to keep patients safe from infections, injuries, and medical and medication errors. The panel includes: John Birkmeyer (University of Michigan), Ashish Jha (Harvard University), Lucian Leape (Harvard University), Arnold Millstein (Stanford University), Peter Pronovost (Johns Hopkins University), Patrick Romano (University of California, Davis), Sara Singer (Harvard University), Tim Vogus (Vanderbilt University), and Robert Wachter (University of California, San Francisco).

The most famous restaurant in the world serves its final supper
Ferran Adrid and a group of chefs (former elBulli stagiers: Rene Redzepi, Andoni Aduriz, José Andrés...) in Cala Montjoi last 30th July. Photo by: elBulli
Author: Tara Stevens/©ICEX
ElBulli, the Spanish restaurant repeatedly crowned the world's best, closed Saturday after pushing the boundaries of avant-garde cuisine for over two decades under acclaimed chef Ferran Adrià. This Catalonian chef announced last year that he was closing the eatery in Cala Montjoi near Roses, a two-hour drive north of Barcelona, and replacing it with a culinary research centre, elBullifoundation, which will be opened in 2014.
Ferran Adrià first joined the team at elBulli in 1983 as part of his work experience. He liked the business and the following year got a full-time job when he began his first culinary experiments in nouvelle cuisine, which would lead him, ultimately, onto the path of 'molecular gastronomy' or 'modernist cuisine' as its more popularly becoming known. By 1987 he'd been promoted to chef de cuisine and in 1990, in partnership with restaurant manager Julí Soler, they took over elBulli. The culinary world would never look quite the same.
Rumours of a culinary genius at large started to spread among the international gastroscenti and the world began to sit up and take notice of an imp-like Catalan chef weilding magic from an obsure outpost on the Costa Brava. Fellow chefs and adventurous foodies began travelling from far and wide to taste this culinary alchemy in the form of savoury foams, fruit leathers and gelatinous spherícos, while year-by-year the performance got bigger, bolder and brighter: tuna belly disguised as jamón, balloons filled with orange blossom scented air, a simple fresh tomato as 'beef tartar', beetroof juice as 'hare's blood'. His big moment came with the publication of an article in the New York Times by the writer Arthur Lubow, who asked: Is Spain the New France?
Suddenly, Ferran was everywhere – in Time magazine's most influential 100, presenting elBulli as an art installation at the Basel Art Fair, as part of an ongoing collaboration with Harvard University that brings together food and science. ElBulli meanwhile, was fast becoming the most famous restaurant in the world. Indeed, in its 50 year history – it first opened as a beach bar in 1961 – it's been voted best restaurant in the world five times over by the prestigious San Pellegrino Restaurant Awards in London. And many of today's most important young chefs like Andoni Luis Aduriz at Mugaritz, Basque Country, or Rene Redzepi at Noma, Copenhagen (and current holder of the 'best restaurant in the world' accolade), have all done at least one season in the elBulli kitchen.
Understandably then it shook the culinary world to its very core, when in February 2010 Ferran Adrià and Juli Soler announced that 2011 would be elBulli's final season. 'I'm not tired', laughed Adrià when I spoke to him about the decision one afternoon at the restaurant in March. 'But I know when it's time to do something different. Now it's time.'
Never one to sit on his laurels, Adrià has always been one step ahead of his game. Where he leads other chefs and restaurants will invariably follow, and he's decided the time has come to invest more time and energy into what he describes as the ultimate 'taller'. From 2014 elBulli will become the elBulli Foundation, a place that Adrià describes as an 'idea centre' for furthering investigations into the future of food, culinary culture and science and a place where chefs can get creative away from the resturant kitchen environment.
Dinners will still be served for other chefs, food writers, and industry professionals with an interest in how the culinary landscape will evolve. Virtual seminars and workshops will be available online for those who can't make it to the mothership. Most importantly, the seeminly endless innovative spirit of elBulli will live on long into the future.

Quick and easy, tasty and tidy. One thing, don't roll pastry too thin or they will tear from the apples. I didn't add raisins or nuts, and yet these turned out just fine. A perfect little hand-held pie! You'll want to double the recipe, as these go quickly.

Etymologists at Ohio State want to encourage residents of Northwest Ohio to "hunt" for an insect pest. It's new to our area, and they'd like to get a handle on where it is and how many there are.
The insect pest of interest is the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, or also referred to as BMSB. This plant pest was introduced into the United States from its native range in Japan, Korea, and China. First reported in the US in 2001 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, it has spread to New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia, the District of Columbia, New York, Massachusetts, Oregon, California, and Ohio. BMSB feeds on fruits and seed pods of a wide range of plants. It is also a nuisance pest that invades buildings to seek shelter during the colder months.
The list of plants that can serve as a host is growing. A sample of the list includes the following: apples, pears, raspberries, grapes, green beans, asparagus, peppers, crabapples, catalpas, walnuts, maples, basswoods, sweetgums, redbuds, butterfly bushes, serviceberries, viburnums, and roses.
An Ohio State University Extension FactSheet, The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, is available online at - http://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/pdf/FS_3824_08.pdf or at your local Extension office. In Lucas County, you can contact 419-578-6783. The Horticulture Hotline is available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm. A request may also be emailed to email@example.com

Named for the concentration camp that was home to a shockingly rich cultural life, the Terezin Music Foundation is dedicated to preserving the music of the composers who were prisoners there, and, more broadly, music that was banned by the Nazis as degenerate and dangerous. But the foundation's mission goes beyond safeguarding the past; it frequently commissions new works. "It's my hope that the commissions serve as an ongoing memorial and homage to [the censored composers'] unfulfilled gifts," wrote director Mark Ludwig in an e-mail. "I want to honor the Terezin legacy by inspiring and nurturing the emerging voices of music."
At the foundation's annual gala, on Monday, pianist Simone Dinnerstein will premiere "You Can't Get There From Here," a 16-minute work by New York-based composer Nico Muhly. At 31, Muhly already has a sterling resume that includes two operas, a number of important commissions, and collaborations with ensembles that range from the American Ballet Theater to Grizzly Bear. His blog and Twitter feed show him to be a sharp and humorous observer of matters musical and otherwise.

Perfect for a friend of mine today, and for me when the time comes round again. Thanks for sharing your honest wisdom. the exercise is such a good idea. We tend to push away those hurts, or make them worse by stewing over them rather than nurturing and healing them, when the simple act of turning towards them with acceptance, and understanding could be the better choice.

As I read through your post, I found a reflection of my thoughts in your words on the subject. It didn't happen over night, but I did learn to look at such events as learning experiences, and recognize the "red flags" early on, which is not easy to do under pressure: peers, society "norms", expectations, and other "noise" flowing through your mind day in and day out. While it's important to hold yourself responsible for the outcome of whatever decisions you may have made at any point it time to get you where you are now, I believe it is even more important to step outside of yourself, recognize the value of the event and add it to your ever-evolving "brain buckets" of do's, don'ts and other "can do it better" tricks to maintain a healthy mind balance when things go awry. It's a bit too wordy, I hope it makes sense

I've had conversations with an acquaintance about the concept of 'good/bad' in the world and the idea that we could always be experiencing joy and happiness at every moment, but I often wonder if such a thing is truly possible - how would we know what is 'good' if we do not experience the 'bad' to make a comparison? Your words about the dark times and chaos happening to help us wake up or let go of old ways really resonates for me.
Also, your words regarding not listening to one's inner voice or instinct is spot on. I am trying to listen to my instincts when they are telling me that I may be taking on more than I should =-\
Thank you for another thoughtful post Karen! And thanks to your readers for their great insights - the comments are great to read here =-)

Obama hints economy strong enough for tax hike
The president suggested the economy had become sturdy enough to absorb the consequences of letting the lower tax rates originally introduced by George W. Bush expire for households with incomes above $250,000.
President Obama has previously urged tax hikes on wealthier Americans, only to back down two years ago in the face of a brittle economy and a resistant and resurgent GOP.
That won't happen again, he assured the country today in his first news conference since securing a second term last week. The president suggested the economy had become sturdy enough to absorb the consequences of letting the lower tax rates originally introduced by George W. Bush expire for households with incomes above $250,000.
But the country can't endure a $200 billion hit from letting all of the Bush-era rates end as scheduled next year. That would wallop middle class households who on average have seen their incomes fall in recent years. Obama sought common ground by encouraging the Republican majority in the House to vote for a measure to continue the tax breaks for the 98 percent of the country who fall beneath the $250,000 level.
"What we can do is make sure that middle-class taxes don't go up," Obama said. "If we get that in place, we are actually removing half of the fiscal cliff. Half of the danger to our economy is removed by that single step."
The news conference touched on the FBI investigation that uncovered former CIA director David Petraeus' extra-marital affair, Syria, Iran, climate change, and Republican criticism of Susan Rice, the ambassador to the United Nations, mistakenly characterizing the Sept. 21 terrorist attack in Libya as spontaneous.
This disagreement with Republicans—who claim increases on wealthier Americans would kill job creation—is the primary source of friction in discussions curb the deficit while averting the fiscal cliff, which also includes $110 billion in automatic spending cuts next year.
When the Bush rates were first slated to expire in 2010, GOP lawmakers basically compelled Obama to break a 2008 campaign promise and extend the rates across-the-board for another two years. Their bargaining power was strengthened at the time by a 9.4 percent unemployment rate, which has since dropped in Obama's favor to 7.9 percent.
"Two years ago, the economy was in a different situation. We were still very much in the early parts of recovery from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," Obama said. "What I said at the time is what I meant, which is this is a one-time proposition. What I have told leaders privately as well as publicly, we cannot afford to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. What we can do is ensure that middle-class taxes don't go up."
That slow but certain improvement in the economy helps Obama in the negotiations this time around. Back in 2010, the gist of the bargaining was to bolster a fragile economy, whereas the case this time is to not squander what gains have been achieved.
The president opened the door to raising taxes on the wealthy by restricting deductions—an idea touted by some Republicans — but his basic principle is that more of the responsibility for trimming the deficit should rest with high-earners.
His argument is backed up by analysis by the progressive Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. The Washington-based think tank, drawing on projections by the Congressional Budget Office, concluded that the lower rates for Americans with incomes above $250,000 would add just a tenth of a percentage point to gross domestic product.
But House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, who was Mitt Romney's running mate in the presidential election, told ABC News that last week's presidential election did not give Obama a mandate to raise taxes. The Republican majority in the House was preserved, the Wisconsin congressman said, so Obama will have to consider options other than his proposed $1.6 trillion tax increase over the next decade to shear the deficit.
"Raising tax rates hurts economic growth and of all things we need right now, to prevent a fiscal cliff, prevent a recession, prevent a debt crisis, is we need people to go back to work," Ryan said. "There are other ways of getting more revenue into our government without damaging the economy, and that's the kind of thing we hope to achieve."
