Self-Directed IRA invests in real estate for retirement
Some people invest in real estate for retirement
Photo: David Croxford
Ever wondered why your IRA only invests in publicly traded securities, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds? What about other investments: precious metals, derivatives, mortgages, business loans and real estate?
Dan Falardeau, president of New Directions IRA, says the main reason these aren't in your portfolio is because the company that administers your traditional or Roth IRA can't make a commission buying and selling them to you. If you want alternative investments for your retirement funds, you must use something called a Self-Directed IRA, or SDI.
IRAs, of course, are retirement accounts that allow you to invest pretax income and avoid taxes on the investment income until you start to withdraw funds after age 59 and a half. With a Roth IRA, you invest after-tax income, but avoid taxes on the investment income and on the disbursements after you retire. Those tax advantages come with restrictions. For example, an SDI prohibits various kinds of self-dealing, including using your SDI to buy a property that you will live in or use for vacations.
To keep that hands-off status, you need an independent company to serve as custodian or administrator of your SDI, just as you do for any other IRA. New Directions, with about 500 clients and nearly $50 million in assets under management, is the only Hawaii company that administers SDIs, Falardeau says. Unlike a brokerage house, though, New Directions doesn't sell any products or offer its clients financial advice. "We're just the administrator for their accounts," Falardeau says. "We don't tell them what they should or shouldn't invest in. The clients are in control of their investments." Not surprisingly, a lot of those clients want to invest in real estate.
Falardeau explains how it works: "If you have an IRA worth $100,000 and you buy a $100,000 property, the IRA is on the title to that property and the rent check is written to the IRA. So, if you had $1,000 a month in rent, in a year you'd have $12,000 growth in your account. And if you owned the property for 10 years, there's an extra $120,000 in your IRA when you sell the property. Plus the appreciation."
Bought Koa Trees
As Falardeau points out, that kind of transaction often makes more sense to local investors than stocks and bonds. Charlene Bell, an Aiea-based psychologist and a client of New Directions, converted her Roth IRA to an SDI so she could invest in a rental condominium in Hilo. "I was hesitant at first," she says, "but now my account earns $600 to $700 a month in rent."
To give you an idea of the flexibility of SDIs, Bell also converted her SEP – a type of IRA popular with self-employed people – to an SDI so she could invest in timber. She now owns a couple of lots of koa trees on Hawaii Island.
According to Scott Higashi, executive VP at Prudential Locations, several local Realtors have also taken advantage of SDIs, both for themselves and for their clients. One popular investment has been to use SDI funds to purchase the fee holding on remnant leasehold properties. With good timing, the lease can end close to when retirement income is needed. "It works well for leased fee transactions," Higashi says, "because the timing restrictions mesh well."
SDIs also mesh with local preferences. "A lot of folks here are diligent savers," Higashi says. "But many interested in real estate investment might not have any cash outside their retirement savings." An SDI allows them to take advantage of these funds. Other investors use their SDIs to invest in everything from tax liens to business loans. Falardeau says New Directions IRA can help accommodate almost any investment strategy.
Though New Directions is the only local company that administers SDIs, there are many mainland custodians that offer similar services. Experienced investors, like Bell, recommend comparing services and fees before choosing your administrator. It's even possible to create an SDI through Internet peer-to-peer lending services, such as Prosper.com or LendingClub.com, which also give less wealthy investors an opportunity to diversify their portfolios by lending to many small borrowers instead of relying on one large investment.

A great source for information on self directed ira's and 401k's
I have actually wondered a lot about self direct ira's and what they really are and if they are worth it. I gained a lot of the knowledge I know from http://www.accuplan.net/ . I talked to them and they really helped me out. I think that every situation is different and it might not be right for every person but knowing whether it is better for you than something else is good to know. There are so many interesting investments out there and it is quite cool figuring a lot of this stuff out.

"Eve Dallas In Death Series a must for everyone"
I have read each of the books in the series now I am going back and listening to each book. It only gets better each character is perfect. The narrator has the voice and inflections and quirks of each character. This is an amazing series and it is read phenomenally. Great writing, great characters and great reading! It does not get any better then this!
"Read it don't listen to it!"
The writer is limited to colloquialisms, slang, and pop culture. I found it very hard to listen to 200+ year old dragons talking as if they walked of the set from a CW teen drama. I enjoyed the story, and felt compelled to get the next book, but, I read it instead and it was not so bad to read the words. It was torture to listen to the OMG's, and LOLs, and references to TV shows.
The author created a nice Dragon society, and a shifter culture that caught my imagination and wanted a happy ending.
First book by him I have listened to and I will think twice about getting another one. I don't know if it was his performance or the writing that did not lend itself to be read out loud. When you say OMG, and LOL you sound like you are 15, not a nurse practitioner in her third decade, not a dragon who slept for 200 years. At least when you read OMG your brain substitutes the words and you can move on.
Yes it would come right after Vampire Diaries, and Gossip Girl. It was written for that age group even though it has a lot of explicit sex scenes.
I read the series in two weeks, and can't wait for the next one. THe story line and the characters intrigued and gripped me, I just had to read it and not listen to it.
"I thought she had lost the magic!"
After the last couple of books I thought the author had lost her love for this story line, but I was wrong! THis book is in the top 5 of my favorites! Strong female, no whiny male, good chemistry, good story and good character building!

Coconut-Crusted Red Snapper
Photo: psfreeman
This simple yet sumptuous recipe for red snapper is Thai-inspired, though variations can be found throughout the Caribbean. The side dish you pair it with will make all the difference (for an Asian touch, try Sugar Snap Peas with Fried Ginger; for a more tropical feel try black beans). The pinch of coriander and curry perfectly balances the sweet coconut; leave off the lime butter if you're watching calories.
Yield: 4 servings

Man City's Off-season
Manchester City are reigning Premier League champions after a very up and down EPL season. The Citizens have not quite been as active as they have been in the past few summers. Manchester City have signed only 3 players for a combined 18 million euros so far this summer. Bacary Sagna who signed for free from Arsenal seems to have taken the place of young right back Micah Richards who appears to be on his way out of the club on loan. The arrival of Fernando appears to have filled up any holes left by Gareth Barry in the midfield as he can play a defensive midfielder role alongside Yaya Toure and Fernandinho. Costel Pantilimon meant that City were in the market for a keeper who could challenge Joe Hart. Willy Cabellero signed for City and is making a case for him to be the first choice keeper very quickly. City seem to be very close to finalizing the transfer of FC Porto defender Eliaquim Mangala for 32 million euros. Mangala will shore up the defense that lost Joleon Lescott to West Brom.
City seem to be set to compete again for the Premier League title again by keeping a solid squad and having smart transfers to fill any holes in the squad. City will try to finally grasp that Champions League success that has avoided them for so long. City will look to win the Premier League and aim to reach the Champions League final...

Reverse gender stereotypes at the gym
Aaahhhh get on my dash you amusing thing you.
I kinda love it
this is actually great from an acting perspective.
the actors actually played the opposite gender instead of just relying on stereotypes (ironically enough) to portray that they were, in fact, the opposite gender. Usually if you tell a guy to act like a girl, he begins playing by the homosexual stereotype (faking a lisp, popping the hip, etc.) and while it accentuates femininity, it's really uncomfortable and forced, making it just seem like he's playing a stereotype instead of the actual gender. And girls will do this too; being told to play a male and instead just deepening the voice and say "dude" and "bro" a lot (although these are more common among modern practices).
The males played up femininity without coming off as a forced stereotype and the females played up masculinity and machismo without forcing their performance.
also the video is funny and I kind of forgot the point I was making.
OMG this is all gyms! lol love it
Yoga love :-)
Stick Figure Yoga!
Push Away Balance is an exercise that works the entire body! It increases your balance and your core, leg, and upper-body strength. Make sure to keep those abs tight and do the single-leg squat before you drop forward to the ground.
Totally doing this during my breaks from playing the Sims.

More good news in Europe means bad news for the US Dolla.
The dollar showed little direction versus other major currencies on Tuesday, failing to sustain its overnight gains against the resilient euro.
A brief rally brought on by S&P's downgrade warning on Germany and France fizzled out, leaving the dollar within its stubborn trading range against the euro. The pair was at $1.3425 this morning, after the dollar topped out at $1.3322 overnight.
German factory orders recovered at a faster-than-expected pace after falling for three consecutive months suggesting that the power house of Eurozone is yet to see a general slowdown in the fourth quarter.
Fueled by foreign demand, factory orders grew 5.2 percent in October from a month ago, the Federal Ministry of Economy and Technology reported Tuesday.

|Multicenter, open-label, non-randomized, non-interventional observational study of safety of treatment initiation with a biphasic insulin aspart.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23289795 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycaemia. Incidence and progression of microvascular complications have been shown to undergo reduction with lowered glucose levels. Methods: This is an open-label, non-randomized, non-interventional, observational study of safety and efficacy of BiAsp 30, enrolling 2223 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients previously treated with oral antidiabetic drugs and/or human insulin were recruited, provided they had been hospitalized for at least 3 days. Data were collected during a single multi-stage visit lasting up to 6 days, during the patient's hospitalization period. A mild hypoglycaemic episode was defined as blood glucose measurement < 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L). A severe hypoglycaemia was hypoglycaemic episode requiring assistance of another person. Results: The total number of hypoglycaemic episodes decreased over time of follow-up. The intensity of severe hypoglycaemic episodes decreased by almost a third from day to day (IRR = 0.64, 95%, p < 0.001). However, intensity of mild hypoglycaemic episodes was the same over the subsequent days of follow-up (IRR = 0.97, p > 0.1). Mean blood glucose concentration decreased from 202.0 mg/dL to 157.8 mg/dL after 3 days and to 138.3 mg/dL after 6 days (p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study highlights the safety, efficacy and ease of initiation of insulin BiAsp 30 therapy for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

What's It Like to be Married to You?
- Friday, January 14, 2011
Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Linda Dillow's book,What's It Like to be Married to Me? (David C. Cook, 2010).
It's easy for you to know what it's like to be married to your husband, because you are married to him, so you know what you like and don't like about him. But have you ever considered what it's like for your husband to be married to you? What qualities do you bring to your marriage? Are you the kind of wife who blesses your husband, or do you cause him pain?
When you think about what it's like to be married to you and ask God to help you change in the ways you should, your marriage can grow stronger. Here's how you can become a better wife:
Ask "What is really important to me?": Realize that the choices you make throughout each day about what to say and what to do reflect what's truly important to you. Consider whether or not your choices are showing your husband that he's the most important person on Earth to you. Ask God to help you choose attitudes and actions that will clearly communicate to your husband that your relationship is a high priority. Imagine your husband speaking at your funeral, and reflect on how you would like him to describe you and your marriage. Then keep the end of your life in view as you make decisions today. Pray and think about what's really important to you as a wife, and express that by writing a marriage purpose statement.
Ask "What does it feel like to be my husband?": Does your husband feel discouraged because you regularly complain, criticize, and nag? Or does he feel encouraged because you constantly speak positive words to him? Does your husband feel frustrated because your actions are burdening him? Or does he feel loved because you do acts of kindness to help him? Does he feel disappointment or contempt from you, or does he feel love and respect? If you're guilty of being too negative in your marriage, pour out your complaints to God alone through prayer, and trust Him to help you with everything that concerns you. Then obey God's command to accept your husband as he is and give him grace, because Jesus has accepted you and given you grace. Shift your focus from asking God to change your husband to asking God to change you, helping you become a better person and wife.
Ask "Am I willing to change my attitude?": Change your attitude from griping to gratitude. Ask God to help you notice all of your husband's good qualities, and cultivate a thankful spirit by regularly telling your husband what you admire and appreciate about him. When talking to other people about your husband, choose to be positive rather than negative. Thank your husband for what he does to help you, instead of taking him for granted. Pray for your husband regularly, with an alert mind and a thankful heart.
Ask "What will it take for me to get close to you?": Work toward emotional closeness with your husband by accepting the differences between you and learning how to use those difference to complement each other. Help each other be the best friends and lovers you can be. Since your husband's greatest emotional need is for significance, ask God to help you give your husband unconditional respect and encouragement.
Ask "What is it like to make love with me?" Consider whether or not your husband enjoys your sex life together. Remember that sex was God's idea, and in marriage, sex is holy and meant to be enjoyed. Pray for the ability to freely offer your husband the gift of your body. Pursue passionate and fun sex with your husband so you can grow in oneness together.

Star-Craving Mad: Tales from a Travelling Astronomerby Fred Watson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Everything the amateur astronomer needs to know about the history of the universe, from the transit of Venus to the Higgs boson, from ancient Peruvian observatories to the world's largest particle accelerator
Many people outside the science world harbor the romantic notion that astronomers spend every night with their eyes clapped to giant telescopes, looking for things. The most frequent question astronomer Fred Watson is asked by members of the public is Have you found anything—recently? Sadly, the answer is usually no. That's because finding new things is only a small part of what astronomers do, compared with investigating things they already know about. People sense that in this, the biggest of big sciences, there might be answers to some of the most profound questions that can be asked: questions about the nature of space and time, about our ultimate origins, the meaning of life, and perhaps even spirituality. Nevertheless, astronomy does provide a broader framework than most sciences for deliberations about issues big and small. And in Fred Watson we have the most witty, funny, and knowledgeable companion to take us on this ride through space, ruminating on Pluto's demotion from planetary status, Peru's ancient sky watchers, sustainable space science, microbes, the sheer pleasure of an eternal quest for knowledge, and maybe, just maybe, the meaning of life.
"Watson, Australia's most popular astronomer, offers a lighthearted excursion into the history of mankind's understanding of the universe. The subtitle refers to the astronomy tours he leads, which also inform the book's structure, and the book is a combination of travelogue — incorporating time spent aboard an astronomy cruise — and popular science, as it explores several continents, eras, and scientists of historic note. Colloquial riffs on cell phone coverage, bad acronyms in science organizations, and commercial space flight's 'well-heeled joy-riders hooning into space,' keep the tone light. While the conversational, anecdotal voice conveys Watson's personality, the scientific material suffers, as it is only broadly summarized; the result is somewhat shallow. Limited to introductions to the most famous breakthroughs in astronomy and physics, Watson offers little to readers already familiar with the development of telescopes, Newtonian physics, relativity, Copernicanism, or quantum mechanics."

Support Carnival, Cut Assessment It seems in the early part of this year the student body pledged their support in raising $5,000. for our Student Union building on the new campus. During the year we have had excellent backing in some of the events that have been sponsored for the soul purpose of raising money for the Student fund. The end of the school year is creeping up on us fast and therefore the fund needs all the backing the student body can give for the next few events. Coming up next is the carnival planned for May 11th. I think the students should back the event so it will push our fund to the top.

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

Congrats Molly!

Congrats Molly, can't wait to "meet" your little guy
I neeeeeed pictures!! lol
Oh my goodness you guys, my brother told me an awful story last night. He is the director at a preschool his executive director is on vacation this week. On monday, a little boy in the school age room went home with a picture that some other children had drawn and put in his cubby that said, "You are the ugliest boy in the world" Oh it hurts my heart just writing this! My brother said he is overweight and no one plays with him and he has a lot of troubles. The teacher in that classroom once accused him of stealing money out of her purse. He denied it. It was dropped but my brother always worried that this teacher did not like the boy. Ok, so his parents of course brought it in and the girls who wrote it (they'd signed it) parents were called in at which time the girls told my brother that the TEACHER HELPED THEM WRITE IT because they didn't know how to spell all the words and whatnot. My brother said he was just shaking and when he confronted the teacher she said she did nothing wrong because all the children were writing notes to each other and she was just helping them spell words. My brother said, "so your personal feelings for this child were not a factor?" and she said, "Well, you know I don't like him. He stole money from me and lied about it." My bro was like, you don't know that! And you are his TEACHER! You are supposed to love and support him no matter what! You participated in BULLYING HIM. You are so effing fired."
He doesn't know what his boss is going to say when she gets back but he said he called HR to let them know and they said he did right thing. Thank goodness. I can't stop thinking about that poor boy and piece of sh!t teacher. What is wrong with some people???
Bridget that just breaks my heart You should NOT go into teaching if you don't have a love/passion for it. That poor, poor little boy. Send him to my house I'll give him tons of hugs and play with him all day
Dang, Bridget. That is horrendous! I am so glad he fired that teacher; you do not let your personal feelings persuade how you treat kids. What a bully of a teacher. I hope she never teaches again. Kids can be so cruel to each other; they do not realize how much they can hurt someone. I hope those kids' parents acted accordingly. Sheesh.
We went to playgroup and at the end of it, Cash pushed somebody else's kid away, like by putting his hand on their face and pushing them. The mother was all in a huff even though I told Cash to say sorry ('sowwy' he said) and told him to be nice, but she acted like he was a monster by saying to the woman she came with, 'That BOY just punched him in the face.' Whatever, woman. You'll know what it feels like when your kid goes through the pushing phase in a few months' time!
Congrats Molly!!! So happy for you and can't wait to see pics of your little guy!!
Bridget, good for your brother for firing that horrible teacher. I don't know how he held himself together. I can't imagine how that poor boy must have felt. Makes me want to give him a hug.
On another note, my daycare provider asked if Ky could come to her house to help her out with the kids during the day. I agreed since he likes going there and she doesn't charge me anything for Ky coming along with Elle. Her grandsons (ages 9 and 12 ) were visiting and she figured he would like to hang out with them too. One of them kept talking about Ky going on and on about him and talked about me (told him his mom was ugly and stupid and all sorts of things). The 12 year old was the one doing this teasing/bullying. Ky told him to stop talking about him and his family and the boy laughed and talked more of course so Ky got really angry, in tears and punched the boy in the chest, knocking him on the floor.
That was very shocking to me!! He usually never hits anyone! I figured the boy must have been really laying it on thick. Ky was so upset about it and kept crying, they had to call DH to calm him down. Even though I don't approve of him hitting the boy, Ky did tell me that when he was upset and crying that the daycare provider called him a cry baby and told him he was too big to be carrying on like that. Basically that she was taunting him. DH told me that she told him over the phone that Ky wouldn't stop crying and she told him to stop acting like a baby and kuddos to DH for telling her "well if you stop calling him a cry baby maybe he would stop crying." I think she thought because DH is such a harda$$ that he would be upset about Ky acting like that.
I have shared with you all that Ky is very emotional. He does still get upset to the point of crying and it is hard for him to get himself together again if he is upset, so I usually tell him to go to another area, or if we are at home to go to his room and calm himself down. When he is better to come back out. This lady has a very large area of her home dedicated to daycare and even has a bedroom upstairs off of the daycare area. I don't know why she just didn't let him go over there to cool off or even just have him sit in a corner, he would not have minded that at all. He really doesn't like it when people call him names, like most people IMO, and even though I do feel that he will have to learn to control himself better and remove himself from situations where people are teasing him or getting on his nerves (as I have very high expectations of him in regards to idiotic people, we talk about this a lot and like all kids, he has to deal with idiots and I make sure he knows he will have to deal with idiots throughout his life so it is a good idea to learn that he can only control his response and not get too upset at things people say especially. I know that is hard for kids though, even adults). But I am so disappointed in the way this lady handled the situation. I'm not going to let him go back to the daycare as I am also disappointed that he hit someone as I saw that as very uncalled for. He didn't tell an adult about the teasing going on and this is an ongoing issue with him and that is cause for me to worry about him - not telling adults when there is a problem (there have even been instances where he didn't tell me about the way some kid was teasing him when he was playing outside at a friend's house that we visited). So I am disappointed in him in that too, but really this makes me happy Elle is moving to a new preschool as even though she loves our daycare provider more and more she has been doing things I don't like. This incident also happened at her church, which is across the street, and again she didn't inform me or get my permission for them to go to her church, so that was upsetting too. I think I will go Monday and sign Elle up for the YMCA preschool even though I wasn't planning on doing so for another 2-3 weeks.
That is awful She was seriously calling Ky a "cry baby" who does that?!?!? Makes me want to go punch her in her chest Oh, wait. I'm supposed to be a grown up right?!?! Yeah, I don't care. Still want to give her a what for.
That makes me really angry too, Erin. And it certainly doesn't encourage Ky to go to an adult when he is upset about other children's behavior if the trusted adult calls him a cry baby. When adults bully children, it makes me see red. I'm so sorry that happened.
These stories are really triggering me this morning. I was bullied by kids and teachers in both 2nd and 6th grades, and the damage stayed with me for a long, long time. I feel for Ky and the poor little preschool boy and just want to punch those grownups right in the face. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SET AN EXAMPLE!!!!
D-Mama (37) D-Dada (43) and D-Baby (11/02/2011)
Congratulations, Molly! Hope you and the LO are doing great.
Bridget, I'm glad your brother fired that teacher. I don't even know why some of these people go into their chosen professions.
Erin, that's awful! I think that moving Elle is the right move as well.
and I am sorry you were bullied. I didn't have that problem, luckily. Something about my demeanor has always made people a bit wary of upsetting me. I never understood it, it's been that way for as long as I can remember. I was never mean or bullied people in school
Well, I guess that's not entirely true. I did have a few altercations. Most of which were because older kids were picking on my brother. THAT I didn't tolerate.
ETA: Oh......... you know what.... I think I get it now... Maybe I was a litte meaner than I thought Definitely never a bully though! More like bullied-victims aid.

Lol, as an adult, I have learned to become that person that nobody really wants to mess with, but I was a sweet, innocent, people-pleasing kid who really really wanted to be liked. And that, for some reason, seems to attract bullies. I could have used your help back then!
D-Mama (37) D-Dada (43) and D-Baby (11/02/2011)
The waves were pretty short lived in Elementary school and I took "care" of it for the most part (since the teachers apparently didn't care) and luckily J lived under my legacy and didn't have to deal with it. It started again in Middle School, dealt with again, and than after that a little level of maturity kicked in and people started realizing that what their parents had told them was idiotic to say the least
It makes it sound like I would go crazy running around kicking peoples butts who picked on me, but it wasn't quite that way. I am much more sensitive to it happening to other peple than mysef. Mostly I would, for the longest time, hang my head, stay in the back of the class, and ignore the constant chatter. I mean I did go to 12 schools, so the waves of "chatter" came and went at just about all of them. I never considered it bullying though. Just a lot of ignoring and taking about me
I SO would've kicked some serious butt for any of you ladies though
What is wrong with people?! These stories make me so angry and sad. Then I read the horrible news out of Colorado. WTF?!!!
I just want to take G outside to play in the dirt today, and forget about all the bad stuff in the world.
Shelley-mom to DS, 6
That is a kind of bullying, too, Christina, and it's very hurtful. I'm sorry you had to experience that. <<hugs>>
D-Mama (37) D-Dada (43) and D-Baby (11/02/2011)
Christina, I was a lot like you as a kid!! People just didn't mess with me. They also messed with my older brother and I remember once I beat up my best friend for picking on my brother and made her apologize to him and me before I would be her friend again. She did apologize, I think because she was afraid of me lol!
My brother and Ky are a lot alike, big for their age and a very kind hearted, innocent sort of personality, like how you describe yourself Dana. My DH was bullied relentlessly as a child, by both kids and teachers (he also is a sweet guy at heart and I fully think that those bullies ruined him in regards to his outside demeanor as on the surface he is pretty gruff to some people and is very defensive in most every situation - he always thinks someone, including me, are out to get him in some way). He didn't trust anyone to help him either because his mom would believe that he was "being bad" versus protecting him at school from crazy things that teachers said and did to him. He was frequently humiliated in class as a child and nearly all the pics of him as a boy during the school years, he looks very sad. He is really overprotective of our kids in regards to teachers especially because he said it would have been better to have just been bullied by the kids, the teachers were worse than the kids to him. The daycare lady doesn't know this of course. He was very heated when she called and was taunting Ky, especially after he talked to Ky and he told DH that she called him a cry baby and how he felt she was taking her grandson's side in the incident (she didn't punish her grandson for instigating the altercation, her husband, who I like and who Elle adores, did later on and called me to assure me he had spoken with the boy). DH said it took all his strength not to go off on the lady when she was calling Ky a cry baby. I think she didn't call me, because she knows I don't view crying as that huge of a deal and that she thought DH would chastist Ky for acting like that. All kids cry and I am not one to think that just because I have a big 10 year old son, that he shouldn't cry just because he's a boy. I admit, I don't like him crying about some things - not wanting to do his homework or cleaning up are the biggest ones - but I don't call him a cry baby and encourage him to control his emotions more. I guess because all of my brothers cried a lot until they were teenagers, I don't really see it as a horrible trait. All of my brothers are great guys and the one who cried the most (the youngest) is actually the most well adjusted lol!

Everyone cries. It is normal and natural to do so. Especially when your feelings are hurt and even more so, when they are hurt by someone you know isn't supposed to do so.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back, but primarily kick returner, Jeff Demps has had surgery on his groin. Demps wasn't around during training camp spending his summer competing in track and field. His first practice with the team was September 11th.
"Could he (play)?" head coach Greg Schiano said at the time, via ESPN. "Well anyone could put on shoulder pads on and come out. But that wouldn't be prudent. The guy hasn't played football in, I don't know how long. Over a year maybe, or close to a year. We get those two weeks where he is a roster exemption, that will be good for him, to get him back into the flow, and then we have to make some decisions."
They ultimately decided to keep him around. This season he has carried the ball one time for 14 yards. He caught 3 passes for 21 yards. He has returned 4 kick-offs for 93 yards.
It is unclear how much time the surgery will cause him to miss. You can bet that this will be used as an example of why training camp is so important, no matter how much you work out.
KR Jeff Demps had surgery today on his groin, coach Schiano said.

So today, I am opting for an unplanned rest day. I have a busy day ahead of me at school to get ready for tomorrow's filming (which I hope is the last time I have to do it) and an NB work session tonight from 5-8. So, time's a little tight. Working out this AM wasn't an option unless I hooked up the caffeine IV. :7 Kinda slow-movin' morning.
Well, I caught up on personals last night, so this is a short & sweet one.
Enjoy your Thursday, everyone!

Misery has enough company. Dare to be happy. ~ VW ad
Hello peeps:7
cathy- i saw last night you purchased a Wii, how keeewwwwwwl!! i am planning on getting one for the boys (and me;-) ) this year also. just waiting for my youngest to get a little older because of course he will want to play also. btw- after doing alot of research and reading the new rules i have an even better appreciation for da' X.
today i am planning on a circuit (not sure which one yet). was going to do slo mo chest and arms but after the two workouts of hers i did this week. this one is not a keeper for me;( .
alrighty off to work, bbl!
cathy-your "rest day" doesn't sound like a rest day except that you are not working out! you have a busy day ahead of you and i think you made a good choice. yes, i was milking it with DBF a little bit. hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do! i am still http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_20.gif about no cardio!
wendy-that's what i keep tellling myself. i could be banned from cardio. i am only sidelined for the rest of the week (gonna have to call him and see if that means the weekend as well). he did put me on anti-inflammatories because i was still really hurting. it's more my stupid piriformis than my hip right now! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_20.gif
christine-yes, using the HRM with weights was a good idea. it was very interesting. i would love to wear it around one day and see how many calories i actually burn in a day. i think that would be interesting. dog is back! yay! those photos are amazing. i don't think i would be able to leave. I VOTE FOR A CHEETAH GTG AT CHRISTINE'S DAD'S HOUSE!!! ;-) how beautiful is it??? wow!
sunny-i hope everyone gets to go to school on time today. i really admire all you cheetah mommies. i don't know how you balance everything.
carole-i called for a PT appt. and they couldn't get me in for almost three weeks. my friend (the doc) is kinda mad. he says they should be able to get me in before. he said to call again or i can go to any PT with the RX but i want to go to the one connected with his company (resurgens orthopedics) because they have easy access to my doc and all my info. i bought a foam roller yesterday and used it as well as using a ball and rolling it around until you find a "spot" then holding on that spot for at least 30 seconds. i don't think i made it all 30 seconds and i had lots of "spots." OUCH!!! not fun but i will make myself do it and stretch.
jackie-so far, i can't tell if the shot is really helping. it's sore where i got the shot and my piriformis is really acting up. the whole area from the side of my hip to my piriformis just does not feel "right." my friend put me on a short-term high dose (2000 mg.!:o ) of anti-inflammatories.
shelly-yes, i am really starting to love tantrum girl. i think she's funny and kinda cute. there you go with the enabling again! i will have to go get that book...my secret cheetah (cathy :-) ) gave me a gift card to the bookstore, so i guess i will use it today after work. you realize you are STILL enabling me. i'm going to go BROKE!
kristi-love your siggy. i think it's so cool that our little group did that! good idea, posh! lol about your boss getting your bug! maybe you can infect your boss' cofffee cup or something... i hope you are feeling better. get well vibes to you. {{{}}}
judy-yay on the siggy! i copied your recipe and am going to try it. i am really loving my crockpot. what a great purchase, especially in the winter! only thing is, i bought those liners, and, so far, both times they have leaked a bit at the bottom. nothing major (and cetainly still easier clean-up, but i was thinking it would be perfectly clean). mine came in a pink box, four to a box. those were the only ones at the store. are those what you use?
lori-yes, i am becoiming very fond of tantrum girl. here, this tantrum is for you having to work so much http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_20.gif
dallas-i would LOVE to swim. we have three olympic sized swimming pools with lanes and everything in my neighborhood (they even have times where they close the pool and only allow swimmers accesss-usually from 5 am-12 pm before the pool opens to everyone). unfortunately, the pool is closed because it's as cold as heck and i don't belong to a gym. i love to swim in the summer. i got to where i could swim a mile in about 35 minutes, which is good for me!
posh-how long did it take for your bursitis to clear up and what did you do to make it better? i think the shots will help that, i'm more worried about the pirformis because it really hurts! i can't wait to at least get back to the EXT as that nver hurt anything (neither did the bosu!). it's just my favorite thing to do...run...that i can't do http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/15/15_5_20.gif
well, it is about time (actually i'm runnig about half an hour late) for me to go look at my dvds and see what i can do. i am assuming i will be doing a mish mosh of a bunch of premixes. i guess i could do the kickbox without the kick. i'll see. maybe i can do a step workout without a step. very low-impact and it's almost like walking, right?
i hope you gals are having a great mornin'! so glad it's friday-eve (no tantrum girl on that one!!!)

Good morning cheetahs! I'm at work but only for tonight and then it'll be a couple of nights off:7 Had a great workout yesterday with B&G blast-- forgot what a burner that one is! Now I remember why I call it the "Oh no, not that again" workout! It fried me for sure and was barely able to get through HLD afterwards.
Cathy- so is there light at the end of the tunnel for you re: NB stuff? I bet it will certainly be a big TGIF for ya.
Sunny- Have a great circuit day... so I guess you're not an Amy fan?
Lorie- We cheetahs are terrific enablers for sure! Glad to hear you have a foam roller and are making use of it. It really gets to those hard to reach places! If it's the impact that you need to avoid I'm not sure why you can't use the EXT??
For today I was planning on a 5 mile run outside after my nap but they are forecasting a snowstorm so I guess it'll have to be on the TM. I'll see what itread catches my interest. For later today I'll
be doing DM ultracardioblast on the bosu:-)
Hi Cheetahs-
Shelly- Have you tried DM ultra cardioblast in the bosu yet? I was trying to decide on a non running cardio today to do along with S&H Bi/Tri. I think you made up my mind!
Cathy- my you have every minute packed in your day. Good luck with the filming
Christine- Your Dad sure has an ideal set up. Are you originally from the east coast? There is something magical about being near an ocean. IA the 4 mile walk on the ocean was a better choice yesterday.
Sunny- What circuit did you choose?
Lori- I do not understand why the EXT is off limits. Do you have the will power to walk only (with the HRM for fun) on the TM? I hope you enjoy those yoga DVD's. Thanks for the help with my signature. :)
We have a diner to goto tonight, our neighbors purchased a chef's dinners at a charity auction and have invited us and another couple along.

Good morning ladies!
I'm sorry but this will have to be a quickie post for now. I hope to get out of work at a *normal* time (unlike last night) and stop in here to catch up with everyone before bowling tonight.
No run happened yesterday and it ended up being an unplanned rest day. I was draggging when I woke up and I knew it was going to be a very hard day, physically so I decide to nix the run. I was going to do an O/D run *early* this morning but it was just too cold so here's what I ended up doing on the Bosu....talk about a sweatfest }(!!!
HCE Hi/Lo Intervals, stopped before KM blasts
SJP/SB Step and Hi/Lo Circuit, but had to stop before the last low section because I felt a blister starting in my right foot so I decided discretion was the better part of valor.
Gotta run! Hasta luego mi amigas!
Workin' Cheetah
My 1st HM...Celebrate Life, Rock Hill, NY...2:00:39
Morning Cheetah-Babes!
Judy: Awesome siggy! You did a fine job. Love it! Enjoy the dinner tonight!:-)
Christine: I am impressed with those pics too! I considered buying DH an iphone for Christmas but he works construction and has a tendency to drop his phone at work. Um..a $400 phone getting dropped goodness knows where? NO THANKS!:P I obviously decided against it. LOL Yeah, I imagine you miss you babes. Too bad they couldn't come with you. DH might get mad though cause then you may never leave!}(
Jackie: I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I enjoy TJ. I wanted weighted gloves regardless so atleast I'll have them to show for it if TJ doesn't pan out for me. It LOOKS fun though and different from anything I have!:-)
Cathy: Good job getting in a short work out last night. I know it's gotta be tough for you to find the energy if not the time these days. Thanks for that website. I haven't clicked on it yet. I'm trying to resist the urge! LOL We are getting a Wii but I may opt to just wait it out until they are back in stock and pretty easy to find. Congrats on your score though and have fun with it. It's neat and I can't wait to get one. I think DH is really excited that we'll have a system that I'll actually want to play with him. LOL Love the post-it smileys! You find the coolest stuff!
Sunny: Why don't you like slo-mo? I'm just curious.
Lorie: So what work out did you decide on? Get better soon!
Shelly: DM on the bosu..hmmm...I've never tried that...thanks for the food for thought!}( Enjoy the snow!
Wendi: Sounds like a fun work out this morning! The cheetahs are rockin' the bosu lately! :7
Looks like I'm all caught up!
STS 5.5 Month Rotation Graduate: 1/2/11-7/10/11
Good Morning Ladies
I realized last night that I never mentioned my HLD workout yesterday morning. What a fun workout! I love it! I really liked combo 4. That has to be one of my favorite combos ever. Its just fun!! Today Im thinking will be Core Syn and probably another walk unless it rains which it looks as if its thinking about. Well see.
Jackie I was good again last night nice to have a conscience on the boards. :P Thanks!
Cathy Good job on the blood giving! And especially on the low key 20 minute EXT session. I once went for a 3 mile run the next day that was pretty stupid. Made it 2 and about died. Had to walk the last mile slowly. Im pretty impressed with my new toy (the iPhone). Its also a handy thing to have when youre bored in an airport (or anywhere). :P Speaking of fun things good job on snagging the Wi!! Have fun with it! I LOVE that you canceled the meeting what a great first executive decision! Id hire you! Enjoy your rest day sounds like youre a busy bee again!
Sunny Enjoy your circuit! So youre not a fan of Slo Mo, eh? It is different, but thats what I like about it. To each her own! :P
Lorie aka Temper Tantrum Cheetah :+ - Im a cardio junkie, too, and I was sidelined for two weeks once. Yeah, I threw temper tantrums, too. Ive thought about wearing my HRM around for a day, but that strap drives me batty after a while. I think my dad would be thrilled to have the very lovely Cheetahs all converge on his house. Hed be in hog heaven (so-to-speak). Hope you get something in. Too bad its too cold to go for a real walk!
Shelly Im glad you have a few nights off! Every time I do the B&G Leg Blast workout, I think of you. It is certainly a burner. Enjoy your run even on the TM maybe you can beat the snow.
Judy Oh, that dinner sounds like fun! Do you know which chef? Let us know how it was!
Wendi Enjoy bowling tonight. Good job on listening to your body. And WHAT a sweatfest! Amazing!!
Wendy No, the iPhone does not sound like its for your DH. They dont liked to be dropped too much. Yeah, if I had Jimmy and DD15 I might not want to return. :P Although California has its moments, too. Have fun with whatever killer workout you choose!
I should move early to get in my workout as I dont know if Ill have to go get my sister or not. Have a great day everyone!

Good morning cheetahs
Cathy...the next book just focuses more on womens issues, I am not done reading it yet. It makes me feel good about how much I have exercised in my life instead of being sedentary. I think sedentary people have much more pain as they age and their musculoskeletel system becomes more dysfuntional. Pete feels keeping that system functional is what helps us. Of anyone I know, you would be the one I would choose to "throw into the fire". I know you will do great...:)..Congrats on the Wii!!! Enjoy your rest but busy day.
Sunny...I am enjoying the next book. Pete's theory seems to be that most pain in your body comes from your musculosketel system being dysfunctional, so his exercises help get your system back to functioning normally and it does make sense to me. I think you must feel about Amy the same as I feel about Tracy!!
Lorie...I didn't know you could burn that many calories lifting weights!! That is great! I agree you should wait for the right PT. Stretching and the roller should help you in the mean time. Can you use an exercise bike? Honestly, the Pain Free book is the best investment I have made...it was $16 at Barnes & Noble and I think everyone should get it!
Wendi...sounds like a good Bosu sweatfest!
Wendy...I might like the new Kenpo then. I never liked the KenpoX because it moved so slow. I remember a guy saying he used 1 lb ankle and hand weights to kick up KenpoX! I agree that a workout is all about what you put into it.
Christine...Core Syn can be just a tough one to get started on. I know on one P90X rotation I ended up subbing some other "core type" workout for Core Syn. I bet the walk on the beach was great..:)..Power Hour was fun, I like the rep count going along with the music. More beautiful pictures...thank you for sharing. As I grew up close to the beach that is one thing I miss a lot.
Jackie...I think the "Pain Free" book is about the best investment I have made. This guy really seems to make sense and the exercises are helping me a lot. That is a long workout for 85 mins...
Shelly..that was nice of you to power walk a bit to catch up with a friend. My run was good yesterday, went 4.5. I had some hip tightness but I am thinking that for now, Kickboxing might be aggravating the hip area (I did KPC Tues) so I am not going to do any KB for a couple of weeks. I am enjoying the other book for Women.
Judy..that looks like a great recipe yesterday!! Sounds like a fun iTread. I like you new siggy.
Lori...good job with the 8 miles and 4 DS legs.
Dallas...I am enjoying the 2nd book from Pete too. I need to get my DH to do the hip exercises but I will need a 30 min commitment from him. I just know these exercises would help him. Good workout yesterday, did you get in any yoga?
Today I am doing B&G standing and abs, then 40 min on my Nordic.
Have a great day...:)
shelly and judy-he just wants me to do no hip/leg movement for three days or so. he said that he wants to give the shot some time to kick in and he also knows that i tend to overdo it. he basically said if i tell you you can do the ext you'll do it for 80 minutes (and, sadly, he is right). i am sure by this weekend i can get back on it again.
carole-i am going to get the book today...i promise!
wendy-i did a kickbox mish mosh
christine-just tell me when! it's so beeyootifull!
so, i did the KPC kick and punch premix, KM low impact premix, and the first routine from CK. for jumping jacks and jump rope, i did them on my "good" leg. for the jump kicks, i also did them on my good leg. when there was something with my legs i couldn't do, i just repeated the punch segment or madeup my own punch combos. all in all, it took 70 minutes and the HRM said i burned 520 kcal, with my highest HR at 168 and i think my lowest was 137 or something. i love my HRM but i DON'T want to get fixated on calories. although, i will say that i did not expect to burn so many calories with kickbox, especially with my modifications!!!

How to Become a Professional Web Designer and Programmer
Web designers and web developers are two of the most sought-after professions these days, and it's not as hard is it may seem to become one. With some free time, a keen interest, and a lot of practice and patience, you could find yourself making world-class websites and earning a nice income from them.
1Learn from other great web designers and programmers. Take a look at other well-designed websites, and note how a menu or content area is laid out and then use that knowledge in your designs.Ad
2Get the right tools. Start by getting a good vector graphics editor such as Adobe Illustrator. Making images using vector graphics is the easiest way to grasp graphics design, so spending some money on something like Illustrator or Fireworks will be a great help. Inkscape is a nice free and open-source alternative for beginners.
3Learn the skills you'll need. These skills include XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (cascading stylesheets) as a foundation on which to build. Basically all websites are written in a combination of these two languages. A good place to begin learning them is at W3Schools. Good books on the subject are also helpful. . So far, XHTML controls only the structure and CSS the look of the website. Neither of them cover any kind of programming aspects. Well, XHTM is sometimes considered declarative programming, but that's out of scope of this how-to. A good introduction to actually programming websites (and indeed programming in general) is Javascript. Javascript takes care of all the client-side (scripts that are downloaded with the page and run on your local computer) programming. It will also teach you the fundamental concepts that will prove invaluable when you go on to learn server-side scripting using PHP.
4Create dynamic websites using PHP and MySQL. These technologies will enable you to create a website that does not require you to make individual HTML pages but allow you to use templates to display multiple pages within the same design.
5Consider using a dynamic web service to improve the user experience (UX). Create a web site that uses AJAX so you can utilise the server-side power of PHP without having to refresh the page thus saving bandwidth and enabling you to create 'interactive' web applications.
6Set up your computer as a productive website development environment. Install a web server on your Computer so that you can work on scripts locally without an Internet connection. If you choose the PHP route try http://www.wampserver.com/en/. If you use ASP.NET use IIS available on most versions of windows.
7Practice using coding examples. Get yourself some script examples to "tinker" with: Finding a script to dissect is the best way to learn. Try CMS's like Drupal and Joomla
8Be bold by starting a project when you have idea and some time. The best time to start making websites is as soon as possible, for two reasons; they can take a lot of time to complete, and you learn a lot just by making them. Don't worry too much about making it perfect the first time; one of the best things about websites is that they can always be improved at any time!Ad
Are you an expert on helping others deal with domestic abuse?
If so, share what you know about how to survive domestic violence.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Always design and develop websites on your computer (called a local development environment) before uploading the finished website to the website host (called the production environment).
- Find inspiration from other websites and forums. These will help if you need inspiration, advice, or you find yourself in some trouble; chances are good that someone has already gone through the same problem before, and written about the solutions.
- Keep up to date with current trends in the Internet industry. This should include figuring out what services are expected / needed / popular at the time, what design styles are most likely to be received well and enjoyed, and how a page will rank high in search engines (SEO).
Things You'll Need
- Design software such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Fireworks or GIMP(open source).
- HTML Editor. Notepad will work but there is other software that will make the job easier, Eclipse(open source) "web development tools" version or Adobe Dreamweaver. Try Notepad++ or Sublime Text.
- To publish your website so others can see it on the Internet you'll need hosting
- A good resource for web designer books: booksforwebdesigners.com
- You will also need PHP installed for testing on your own computer.

New Zealand has temporarily lifted its ban on the kosher slaughter of animals.
Members of the Jewish community have filed a lawsuit against the agriculture minister challenging the Shechita ban, which was brought in at the end of May 2010 to the outrage of Jewish citizens.
The case is expected to be heard in 2011, but until then the practice will not be prohibited.
New Zealand Jewish Council chairman Geoff Levy said the interim decision was positive and added: "Every effort is being made to get chicken and local lamb back on the table as soon as possible".
I suppose Neville Chamberlain might have described New Zealand as "a small, far-away country" but New Zealand's new animal welfare code could have a major effect on this side of the world.
The code requires animals slaughtered for commercial consumption to be stunned prior to slaughter to ensure they are treated "humanely and in accordance with good practice and scientific knowledge". Stunning disqualifies animals from being kosher and the code is an insult to shechitah, which is at least as humane as any other method of slaughter.
New Zealand's Prime Minister appears to be heading for a legal showdown with the Jewish community over a new law that bans the kosher slaughtering of animals.
The crisis, triggered by the May 27 decision to outlaw shechitah, prompted Jewish leaders to request an urgent meeting with Jewish-born John Key in an attempt to resolve the crisis. But the 30-minute meeting in Auckland last Friday concluded with the six-person delegation informing Mr Key that the small community would be left with "no option" but to take legal action "if there was no solution forthcoming".

First, you need to be willing to work more if you want to earn more.
Everyone wants to magically earn more money by working less, but it doesn't work that way. Second, you need to be willing to try new things. You don't necessarily need to be creative. You just need to be willing to try to earn money in a different way than you currently are doing.
