Getting Started
What are the Baby Steps?
Learn about the seven proven steps to Financial Peace.↑ Top
What is an emergency fund?
An emergency fund is a rainy day fund, an umbrella. It is for those unexpected events in life: a job loss, an unexpected pregnancy, a car transmission going out, and so on. This is not an investment or a Bahamas fund! Before attacking Baby Step 2—the debt snowball—save $1,000 as a baby emergency fund. A fully funded emergency fund is 3–6 months of your personal expenses set aside in a savings or money market account. Build this up in Baby Step 3.↑ Top
How does Dave feel about using a debit card?
A debit card is used just like a credit card; however, the funds come directly out of your checking account. So you are not spending money you don't have. Debit cards can still get you into trouble, though. Research tells us that you spend more when using plastic; you register no emotional pain when you spend with plastic. Dave says to keep the use of your debit card to a minimum—hotel reservations, car rentals, air travel, online purchases, etc.↑ Top
Why should I pay off my smallest debt first?
Getting out of debt is like losing weight. It is an emotional decision. You get out of debt when you get mad and passionate! If it takes six months to lose a pound, will you stick to that diet? No way. Paying off the smallest debt first allows you to get some immediate, positive feedback—and encourages you to keep going. Once the debts start getting paid off, you'll become addicted and stick with the program.↑ Top
How do I start managing my money?
Get on a written game plan. John Maxwell says, "A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went." You don't have to start with a perfect month. Just start where you are. Write down what you have today—income and expenses—and spend your income on paper before the month begins. Get free, downloadable budgeting forms.
Also try using Dave's envelope system to help you spend cash where you've budgeted it to be spent. Take some envelopes, write the budget categories on the envelopes, and use only the allotted money to purchase specific things. When an envelope is empty, don't buy anything else in that budget category.
Do it on paper, on purpose, before the month begins—and include your spouse! Then you'll have a game plan, and you'll start to understand what Dave means when he talks about having Financial Peace.
Learn more about budgeting your money.↑ Top
What is the debt snowball?
The debt snowball is the process Dave suggests you use to pay off debt. Here's how it works: list your debts in descending order with the smallest payoff or balance first. Do not worry about interest rates or terms unless two debts have similar payoffs. In this case, list the higher interest rate debt first.
Pay the minimum payments on all of your debts except the smallest. Put any and all money left over—after you've covered necessities—onto the smallest debt. Attack the smallest debt, and pay it off as quickly as possible. Once the smallest debt is clear, start making extra payments on the next smallest debt. You now have more dispensable income because you have one less debt. Just like a snowball gains momentum as it rolls downhill, you're going to gain tons of momentum and motivation as you move further along in your debt snowball. Learn more.↑ Top
What are some tips for sticking to a budget?
- Make sure you write it down. Give every dollar a name on paper. Spend your income on paper before you actually spend it. Use our free, downloadable budgeting forms.
- Stay away from places that tempt you to spend. If you are overspending, you need to buckle down and get serious. It's a sign of maturity when you delay pleasure today so that you can ensure a better tomorrow.
- Use Dave's envelope system to help you spend cash in line with your budget. Take some envelopes, write the budget categories on the envelopes, and use only the allotted money to purchase specific things. When an envelope is empty, don't buy anything else in that budget category.
- Stay motivated! Don't give up! A budget gives you hope that your money situation can and will get better. Dwelling on the failures of the past, or fearing that you will never get to the end, will steal your hope. To avoid this, break your plan down into smaller goals. You can change your financial picture. You can change your life.
Saving and Investing
What's the difference between saving and investing?
Saving stabilizes your money. Save money you plan to use for something within the next five years. Money you plan to use in the near future doesn't need to be subjected to risk; it needs to be safe. That way, it's still there when you want it, regardless of how the stock markets are performing that day.
For instance, if you are saving for a car, use a money market account with a mutual fund company. Don't put money into a mutual fund unless you're going to leave it alone for at least five years. Your savings is not an investment.
Dave's first investing principle is not to mess with investing until you've completed your first three Baby Steps. Then you are ready to invest 15% of your income. The second major principle is to never invest in anything you don't understand. Don't invest in something because your brother-in-law says, "You gotta do this!" Talk to your advisor, do your research and know the facts.
Why should I wait to start investing?
We are emotional beings. If we don't see quick results, we feel like quitting and decide to move on to something else. The Baby Steps and the debt snowball help build momentum and maintain focus. By taking small steps, you will see quicker results. This helps you stay focused and motivated to stay on track. By paying off the smaller debts first, you will see quick results and have more income available to fight debt.
Investing is further down the Baby Steps. That's because until you free your income from being spent on payments, you cannot fully use the power of investing. Your income is the most powerful wealth-building tool you will ever have.
It's still important to start investing as soon as possible. The average time it takes people to get through Baby Step 2 is 18 months to two years. But you've got to get "gazelle intense" first and truly focus your efforts on becoming debt-free. Use your desire to start investing for your future as motivation to get debt-free!
Remember, don't get caught up in the numbers games. Focus on one task at a time. This process yields the quickest and best results, and Dave has used these principles for over 15 years.↑ Top
While paying off debt, should I stop investing?
Dave recommends stopping your contribution to retirement plans and investments for as long as it takes to get rid of your debt (excluding mortgage payment). Do not withdraw from your retirement plans; just let them sit while you conquer your debt. Then, after everything is paid off, start contributing toward your retirement plans again.↑ Top
Credit, Consolidation, and Financing
How does Dave feel about "90-days-same-as-cash" deals?
When you have saved up enough to pay cash for an item, then buy it. Period. Finance plans like "90-days-same-as-cash" or "one year, no interest" are designed to get you to buy more than you would normally buy if you were paying right then. Eighty-eight percent of the 90-days-same-as-cash contracts convert to payments that are usually at 24% APR with the Rule of 78s prepayment penalty.
You don't need or deserve it unless you have saved cash to pay for it. Remember, you can also negotiate with cash and get a far better deal. When this happens, 90 days is not the same as cash, now is it?↑ Top
Should I call the credit card company when I cut up my cards?
Yes. Call them and do the following:
- Close the account to further charges.
- Ask them to send you written verification that the account is closed to further charges.
Why doesn't debt consolidation work?
Debt consolidation doesn't work because you end up paying about the same amount. The truth is that you cannot borrow your way out of debt.
The way to get out of debt is to change your habits. You need to commit to get on a written game plan—a budget—and stick to it. Get an extra job and start paying off the debt. Live on less than you make. Becoming debt-free is not rocket science; it's common sense and self-discipline.
You may be tempted by the companies that claim to be able to clean up your credit. Don't go there. There are two basic problems with these companies. First, for purposes of getting a mortgage, going through companies that take your money and pay your bills will reflect on your credit as if you filed a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Secondly, only transactions older than seven years, or a mistake, may be taken off your credit report. A company that says otherwise is either lying or operating illegally.
Here are two suggestions. First, sit down with a counselor and work out a plan to get out of debt. Find counselors in your area who have been trained by Dave. Second, attend Financial Peace University—Dave's 9-week program that will teach you how to make the right money decisions to achieve your financial goals. Find a class in your area.↑ Top
Are consumer finance companies good?
The most expensive money comes from consumer finance companies. They specialize in higher-risk loans and charge high interest rates. Your best option is to save for the item or service you are seeking. Just set aside money and budget. Of course, buying stuff is fun; just don't go into debt because you want something now. Remember, delaying pleasure is a sign of maturity.↑ Top
How do I handle my creditors?
Collectors know that logical people will pay the house payment first. Creditors have discovered that the only way people will pay an unsecured creditor first is if they are being illogical. That's why collectors are taught to evoke strong emotions. When you become emotional, you tend to pay a collector before you pay the utilities or house payment, so they try to bring out emotions like anger, fear, hate and even friendship. They will store the approach that gets the best results in their computer and use it again and again.
Collectors will bluff you and try to play on your ignorance—if you aren't aware of the laws. You have to remain logical and make sure you leave your emotions out of these conversations. If you start to feel emotional, politely end the discussion and ask them to call you back later when they can speak to you like a normal human being. Speak with them once every two weeks. Inform the creditors of this rule and tell them not to call too often inside the two-week window. If they do, then simply thank them for their call, hang up, and await their next call in the next two-week window.
The Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal act that outlines consumer rights, as well as the restrictions of creditor calls. Here are a few regulations addressed in that particular act:
- No harassing calls can be made.
- Calls must be between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.
- Repeated calling and name-calling are prohibited.
- If a collector is harassing you, put him on notice that you are taping the calls to ensure that he follows the act's stipulations.
- You can stop unwanted collector calls at your workplace by sending a certified letter (return receipt requested) to the collector in question. Just ask them to stop.
- You are even allowed to send a cease-and-desist letter requesting that they no longer contact you in any way except to inform you of legal proceedings. Use this only in extreme circumstances.
- No collector may garnish wages or attach bank accounts without first suing and winning. (The only exception is student loans that are in default.)
You do have to make some kind of monthly payment to them. To find out how to get on a budget and eventually get these creditors off your back, take Financial Peace University or get The Total Money Makeover.↑ Top
Should my spouse and I have separate checking accounts?
No. When you get married, you become one. Money is a key area that helps bring unity. When you handle your money together, you are agreeing on your hopes, dreams and goals.
After counseling thousands of families, Dave and his team assure you that more marriages are saved over this one issue than any other. Agree on how you spend your money, and you will begin to feel a powerful sense of unity in your marriage.↑ Top
What are some tips on getting my spouse to create a budget with me?
What do they object to about living on a plan? Do they feel controlled? Do they feel like they will lose their freedom? Talk about those issues. You may be surprised by what you hear. After listening to their concerns, tell them your concerns. Why do you want to budget together? How will it make you feel to plan together? Security? Unity? Strength? By telling your spouse how you feel—and not how they should feel—you will often get on the right track together.↑ Top
My spouse and I argue about our money. Is it wrong for me to tell my spouse what "Dave Ramsey says" about every single thing?
Absolutely. Your spouse does not care what Dave thinks. He or she only cares about what you think and why you feel a plan is needed. Take the advice you hear on the show, read Dave's books, and apply it to your life—but take it as your own.↑ Top
Student Loans
How do I consolidate my student loans?
If you do choose to consolidate your student loans, do it once and do it right. Get a locked-in, fixed rate and don't extend the terms. Nothing else.↑ Top
How can I avoid student loans?
Start with grants and scholarships. You'll have a much better chance if your GPA is much higher than average. Good grades are an investment. Students in the top 10 percent of their classes have many more options.
Work part-time if you need the money. You could also try attending an affordable local college to complete your first few years of required classes. Then, if you can pay cash, transfer to the school of your dreams.
Other alternatives:
- Internships with commitment to hire after graduation
- Church gifts and scholarships
- Private scholarships and grants
- Working prior to college admittance
- Working on campus or while in college
How do I find scholarships and grants?
Dave suggests getting one or all of these books to help find financial support for college:
- The Scholarship Book by Daniel Cassidy
- Free Money from Colleges and Universities by Laurie Blum
- Winning Scholarships for College by Marianne Ragins
You might also approach your church. If you're a student that has been active within the church, you may be eligible for some assistance. Also, depending on your field of study, you may be able to find a business to sponsor an internship. Dave says, "I worked two campus jobs and a work-study program to pay my way through college. I also worked with 'gazelle intensity' during the summers." Try some of these unique ideas to increase those gifts and grants.↑ Top
Real Estate
What is a reverse mortgage?
Reverse mortgages are a bad plan normally offered to the elderly. It's an awful concept for senior citizens to work hard their entire lives only to finish up being in debt with their home on the line. Not only will they go into debt with this kind of mortgage, but their home will decrease in value. How much sense does this make? This concept goes against all principles of wealth building and wise asset management.↑ Top
What is a home equity loan?
A home equity loan is where you borrow money against your home. If you get a home equity loan, you are risking the roof over your family. This is your home, your shelter! It is stupid to borrow more than your home is worth! You're just asking for Murphy to move in!
You cannot borrow your way out of debt! You get out of debt by changing your habits. Commit to a written game plan and stick to it. Maybe you need to get an extra job to start paying off your debt. Live on less than you make. It's not rocket science; it's just basic common sense mixed with disciplined behavior. Get started now!↑ Top
How much life insurance should someone have?
As a general rule of thumb, you should have 10–12 times your income in guaranteed renewable term life insurance. Life insurance is designed to replace you, financially speaking, if something happens to you. Let's say that you earn $50,000/year, and you have $500,000 in term life. If you pass away, your spouse should take the money and invest it in a solid mutual fund. If your spouse simply pulled 10% interest out each year, he or she would receive $50,000, without ever touching the principal. Your income would be replaced.↑ Top
How can I find a Financial Peace University (FPU) class in my area?
You can search for classes in your area on the Financial Peace University page.↑ Top
What do I do when I'm "upside-down" on my vehicle?
If you are "upside-down" on your vehicle and can't pay it off within 18 months, then sell it yourself. List it at your loan amount. If there are no bites, then knock off a couple hundred. Continue to pay it down as you sell it. Do not go any lower than the Kelly Blue Book value.
In order to turn over the title, you will have to get intense and pay out of pocket for the difference. Or, you will need to get a small loan to make up the difference between the loan amount and the blue book value. In this case, you should try to borrow enough from your credit union to pay your vehicle off and get an extra one or two thousand dollars. That extra money goes toward the purchase of a used, yet reliable, vehicle until you clean up some of your debt. Because you are reducing the amount of debt by a drastic amount in just a short period of time, this is one of the only times Dave would recommend borrowing money to get out of debt.↑ Top

Is it because I have to pay for the custom search engine?

The inside dope on melatonin
This spring, however, with the anxiety of the end of school, the unknowns of summer, and a new school year looming large on his horizon, Bud started to have trouble sleeping again, and his 9 mg dose was rendered ineffective. The doctor he sees for medication management authorized us to go up to 12 mg a night, but before we got started with that, Bud had an appointment with his pediatrician, who asked me about the melatonin I was giving Bud and, specifically, about where I'd been buying it. I told her I usually picked it up at Target or the local pharmacy, and she gave me a valuable tip.
She said that melatonin, like most natural supplements, is not regulated, so a 3 mg tablet may not actually contain 3 mg of pure melatonin. She suggested that I go online and order "pharmaceutical grade melatonin" and try that before I increased Bud's dose. It worked beautifully. Bud's holding steady at 9 mg a night and has been sleeping soundly - even during the past week, when we were away from home on vacation.
I wish I'd known about this years ago, so I'm passing it along, in case any of you are having hit-or-miss experience with over-the-counter melatonin.
Sleep well, my friends.

very interesting! can you tell us where you get it from? we get ours from Kirkman directly (corn-free, dairy-free, etc) and our 4 yr old has held steady at 2 mg for 3 months now, but I find as I get closer to the end of the bottle it's less effective (is that possible??) Would love to know where you get yours from. Thanks!

We had TC on melatonin for awhile but now he gets sleepy and stays asleep, it is as if the melatonin kick started something in his brain. We use it occasionally if he is extremely out of sorts but not very often.

So interesting. Just in the last few weeks (since school's been out), my bird's been having a hard time getting to sleep at night. I've been thinking melatonin, but haven't made a move yet. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!!

I did not know this about melatonin. It is definitely something I am going to have to look into.

So how do you get started with a melatonin treatment? I've asked some of our doctors, but I've gotten very vague responses--they won't write a script for it, but many think it's a good idea.
Would you be willing to write (or point me to a post that you've already written) to help me (and possibly others) get started?
- July 03, 2010 11:31 PM
I had been told about it not always being pure, but didn't know about ordering the pharmaceutical kind. I have noticed that certain brands do not work as well as others. Also, the time release does not work well for my Js because they will wake up between the gap in the 2 layers.

good to know! I recently read a study that supported a much smaller (0.3mg) dose as more effective than larger doses and tried it with my 6mg/night kiddo and it actually worked! It isn't as easy to find though, I think the brand we bought was Sundown from Kroger.

I have two little Aspies, and I've been considering melatonin. My 8 yr. old son was on a prescription medication for sleep, but we took him off of it because it wasn't very effective. Our 3 yr. old is keeping us up into the wee hours. So, I think I might try it.

Thanks for this. We use melatonin too, sometimes with less than stellar results. I'll have to look into this.

Thank-you so much for this "tip"! I took take melatonin to help with my wonky sleep patterns due to the pain and over active autonomic nervous system that comes with mitochondrial disease. I have been buying mine at my local grocery store, but after reading this I am going to be ordering it from the compounding pharmacy that fills my other mito cocktail meds.

Good info. We've been using melatonin for a few years iwth our Aspie (9 yr old) and it has made such a difference. We use a liquid and find that older bottles that have been open for a while tend to lose effectiveness. I'll check the purity of the brand more carefully. Thanks!
- July 08, 2010 3:54 PM
Boo has gone up to 6 mg...and we buy it at Walgreens or whoever has it b1g1F...I'm going to look online and get the "good stuff". Boo can't sleep without it....That worries me.
Have you tried or used Inositol? It is very effective for Boo's anxiety.
I call it vitamin Valium...
(I would love to use it more often but coffee renders it ineffective...and coffee is a must have!)
but if I wake up during the night and ruminate and it seems like my night is over I pop one...(650 mg) and can get back to sleep.

Fascinating! Thanks for the advice. My daughter and my husband occasionally take melatonin. My daughter complains that she has to continually increase her dosage; this may be why. Thanks for sharing!

What a fantastic tip!
We aren't taking melatonin, anymore, because my son sleeps unaided at night these days. But, this is awesome to know if we were ever to need it again.
Thanks! Keep on with the great blogging.

I am interested in where you get the "pharmaceutical grade" melatonin, too. My daughter (8 yo - anxiety) takes Natrol Timed-Release 5 mg. My son (10 yo, bipolar) takes 3 mg Natrol - non time release. My husband, (depression & ADHD) takes melatonin, which doesn't give him a good night's sleep, or trazodone, which leaves him feeling awfully groggy, even after 10 hrs of sleep, so we're looking for something different for him. I'm so glad to have found your blog. ~ Mommiest Girl

Oh, goodness. My apologies for not replying sooner to your questions. Sometimes I reply in my head and forget that I haven't actually put the replies in writing.
Alysia, I just did a Google search and came up with this. I'm sure there are other brands out there and I think there are places where it's not as expensive. Also, these capsules are large, so if your child has trouble taking pills, they might not be right for you. That being said, I used to crush Bud's melatonin and mix it with applesauce, so I think you could just open the capsules and do the same.
Stephanie, Bud has never had a prescription with melatonin, but his doctors have been good about helping me determine how much is appropriate to give him. Here's what I know: Bud processes melatonin REALLY differently than other people. Some adults use 250 mcg to sleep. Bud's current dose is 9 mg - which is 9,000 mcg. He is not groggy in the morning. In fact, sometimes he still doesn't sleep all the way through till morning. He started using melatonin when he was 5, and he started on 1 mg, which worked beautifully. By the time he was 7, melatonin alone wasn't enough and he needed another medication to treat additional issues, which had the added benefit of making him sleepy - but his melatonin has still increased as he's grown. We have the go-ahead from his doctor to go as high as 12 mg, but since we switched to the pharmaceutical grade, we're holding steady at 9.
Sheridan, so nice to see you here! :)
Bannie, I haven't tried Inositol, though I think you've mentioned it to me in the past as well. So far, melatonin is doing the trick (knock on wood...)
- July 27, 2010 10:08 PM
The correct dose is 0.3 mg (or ml). You can get this dose by buying melatonin in liquid form and using a very small syringe (without the needle).

wow - thank you for the info and the google search! You don't even know me and you took the time to do that! I must say, this is what I love about this online community of like-minded parents going through the same things - helping each other as we going on this journey with our kids. Thank you.

My daughter's mum and I gave the wee one melatonin as a small child, but we never had to go online to buy it or get a syringe to administer it: it was already in the milk we got for her, which was pulled late in the evening and contained enough melatonin to help her get sleepy.

MOM-NOS: I just started reading your blog. Its great! I work for the Autism Society of NC and felt I had to make a plug about addressing death:
Catherine Faherty for the Asheville TEACCH Center wrote "Understanding Death and Illness and What They Teach About Life"
The wonderful part about this book is that it is interactive, something you use WITH your son. You can tailor the worksheets to his specific needs. Catherine is amazing. Her ways of explaining death and emotions such as grief are sublime and beautiful, something I think us "neuro-typicals" need a dose of at times.
Anyway, I would recommend her other books as well!

oops, totaly meant to post my above comment on the more recent post about death
- August 02, 2010 2:50 PM
- Patrick said...
Wow!! Thanks for that tidbit of highly useful information! We've been considering giving our 5 year old a miniscule amount of melatonin to help her sleep through the night. If we do decide to do it, we'll definitely look into getting the pharmaceutical grade melatonin from a reliable source!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Hello my son is ad-hd and we where using the pills and crushing them and putting it in apple sauce, yogurt, pudding well everything and went back to a few idea's but he just wouldn't take it anymore so we got it in liquid and it tastes nasty and wont take it what can I mix it with so he doesn't taste it?
- January 27, 2014 1:41 AM

Hi, Jessica. Bud takes a number of medications, so it was worth it to me take the time to help him learn to swallow a pill. I started with mini m&ms in a spoonful of jello, then worked up to full-size m&ms, then two m&ms at a time, etc. He took his pills in jello for years, but now he just takes them with water with no problem at all.
I'm not sure how many other people will see your comment, because this is an old post. If it would be helpful, I'd be happy to post your question on the mom-nos Facebook page to see what others have to offer. Just let me know.

Katherine Hat
April 7, 2010
Finally got around to editing and uploading the pictures!
Pattern: Katherine Hat
Needles: 5mm
Yarn: Full O' Sheep in Honeycomb
Start: February 28, 2010
Finish: March 4, 2010
It was a quick knit overall. I didn't want any slouch so started the decreases earlier. I probably shouldn't have used this yarn since it's so fuzzy, but the color was so bright and amazing I couldn't resist…and it used less than one skein! I've worn it out a few times and it kept my head warm and toasty. Splendid.

Year 2011 was no doubt a year for photo enthusiasts. With an unprecedented growth in sales of DSLR's and mobile phones, tablets and computers with digital cameras, I doubt if there ever was any other time in mankind's history when there were just as many people snapping away photos all the time.
Looking back at the year just passed, still nursing a hangover of the holidays, I was struck with the number of subjects I was able to cover – from birding to weddings and beauty tilts to travel destinations; from the time I had a glaucoma attack and subsequent laser procedure down to baby pictures and awesome adventure rides and treks in far-flung areas.
Thus I decided to compile my favorites and share them with you for a brief replay of gerryruiz images of 2011.
I hope you like it. Cheers!

Led by a truly remarkable performance by John Hawkes, writer-director Ben Lewin's The Surrogate blew me away at this year's Sundance Film Festival. The film's based on the true story of Mark O'Brien, a 36-year-old poet and journalist with an iron lung, who decides that he no longer wants to be a virgin. With the help of his priest (William H. Macy) and a professional sex surrogate (Helen Hunt), we follow on his amazing journey. Trust me, The Surrogates is great on so many levels (which explains why there was a bidding war; Fox Searchlight won), and it's definitely going to be a contender at the 2013 Academy Awards. For more on the film, here's Matt's review.
Shortly after seeing the film, I sat down with William H. Macy for an extended interview. We talked about being at Sundance, his reaction to seeing the film with an audience for the first time, how he prepared for The Surrogate, his philosophy as an actor, karaoke, and a lot more. In addition, with Macy currently starring on the hit Showtime series Shameless, we talked about what's coming up on the second season, how he wrote the sixth episode, the writers room, how the second season is completely different than the BBC version, and what do people always want to talk to him about when they meet him. Hit the jump to watch.
As usual, I've time indexed the interview so you can watch the parts that interest you. The Surrogate will be released later this year.
- :02 His reaction to seeing the film for the first time at Sundance
- :41 Talks about the Sundance experience and why watching The Surrogate made him weep. Says the film reaffirms what it means to be a human being and talks about how the film deals with sex in a very real manner.
- 2:52 Gives a description of what the film is about and who he plays.
- 4:31 How many takes does he usually like to do? He enjoys doing a minimal amount. His philosophy is that the actors should show up prepared. Talks about why he doesn't enjoy doing more than 10 takes.
- 5:46 How he prepares for a project. He comes from the stage so he believes in rehearsal. Says he's pretty sure staying in character all the time doesn't help your performance and he "absolutely knows it's annoying to everyone around you."
- 7:10 Research. He did no research for The Surrogate and he usually thinks everything you need is on the page. They had someone on set that knew how to put on the Catholic garments and
- 8:40 Talks about Shameless. Says he's the luckiest guy in Hollywood. He's surprised that he adores going back to the character over and over again.
- 9:39 How different is the second season of Shameless from the second season of the BBC show? Says they chopped up bits of the BBC show for the first season, but in the second season of the US version they're completely different than the UK version.
- 10:43 There are a lot of arcs throughout the season and it all builds to a pretty crazy conclusion.
- 11:31 He doesn't like to know where the season is going when working on the show; he likes to learn things when his character does. Says he knew a lot about this past season because he wrote one of the episodes so he was in the writers room. Describes the writer's room experience and how the season is born.
- 13:20 Did he feel any reticence in the writers room as other writers were pitching gags while the lead actor was in the room? Says that went away after the first few days. Talks about the episode he wrote and staying on set to watch them film it.
- 14:33 What's his go-to karaoke song?
- 14:41 What's the last video game he played? He says Pong.
- 15:13 Talks about how being on the show has changed the scheduling of his career. Says there's a cost to be paid because half his year is taken up by the TV show, but he's satisfied by where he is.
- 15:55 When he's in a Starbucks, what's the one thing people want to talk about? Now it's Shameless, but he also gets Fargo quotes a lot. Every once in a while he gets Door to Door or Wild Hogs.

CHICAGO – White Sox notebook from July 24
Scott Podsednik returned to the White Sox on Tuesday, but his spot in the batting order wasn't there waiting for him. Coming off a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte, Podsednik started both games of Tuesday's doubleheader in left field, but he batted seventh instead of his usual leadoff spot. Rookie Jerry Owens, at least for now, is the Sox leadoff man. "Right now, I don't know what 'Pods' ' stage is," manager Ozzie Guillen said. "He's got to show me how he can do running and all the different skills he needs to show us he's back on his game. We had Owens the last 15 days, and he showed me a lot of improvement offensively, and he showed me that since we called him back up, he's played pretty well." Guillen said if Podsednik can return to the form he showed before straining his rib cage, the Sox will "think about" putting him back up top. Still, it's going to hard to pry the spot away from Owens. "Wherever I can contribute, I want to contribute," said Owens, who had hit safely in 15 straight starts, batting .319 over that stretch. "If that's at the top of the order, that's awesome. That's where I want to be. If it's elsewhere, that's awesome, too." Owens could be playing for a 2008 Opening Day roster spot right now, especially if the Sox either trade or don't re-sign Jermaine Dye and choose not to bring back Podsednik (arbitration-eligible) and/or Darin Erstad (club option for next season). "Guys get their opportunities all the time," Owens said. "Guys come up, and some guys make the most of it, other guys don't. I've come to learn, especially the second time around, it's just part of the job." Speaking of Auditions Rookie Josh Fields continued his recent hot streak as the replacement for Joe Crede (back surgery) at third, hitting a homer in his second consecutive game Tuesday afternoon. It was the first time in his career he homered in back-to-back games. "Hopefully, the more and more games I play, I'll stay comfortable, I'll have a lot more success," said Fields, whose solo homer in the fifth off Jeremy Bonderman made him 7-for-14 with six RBI in his past four games heading into Tuesday's nightcap. "I think if they continue to swing the bats like this, they're going to be here for a while," Guillen said of Fields and Owens. Heard That One Before Guillen met with general manager Ken Williams in the morning and insisted the trade market is "quiet" and there is "nothing out there" right now for the Sox. Still, Tuesday's starter, Javier Vazquez -- who signed a three-year, $34 million extension in the spring and has been mentioned in numerous rumors -- would rather not hear anything. "You hear your name out there, but I've heard my name for a lot of years -- especially around this time," Vazquez said. "I don't read about it. If you guys don't tell me about it, I don't know. I hate reading the paper. It's not an important issue." Making Some Moves The Sox optioned reliever Dewon Day (11.25 ERA in 13 games) to Charlotte to make room for Gavin Floyd, who started the nightcap. They put Luis Terrero (groin injury) on the 15-day disabled list to make room for Podsednik. More White Sox coverage is at www.dailysouthtown.com/sports.

Families in need of home care often look inward to help their loved one. But it's a turbulent journey for family caregivers, and like anyone else, they need a break. Burnout is real and so are its consequences. That's why families often seek respite care.
The following guide will outline the benefits and costs of respite care so you can better understand this invaluable resource.
There's no "one size fits all" in respite care. Some family caregivers need reprieve after a parent has surgery and needs more support following the return home. Some must return to work part-time after a loved one's health event (a stroke, fall, or other extended illness, for example) forced them to provide full-time care. Others need a break after years of faithful caregiving or want to celebrate a milestone anniversary or birthday with a special trip. Whatever the motivation, these benefits apply across the board.
Caregiving is one of the hardest unpaid jobs out there. And whether done willingly or not, the clear majority of family caregivers are not receiving financial reimbursement. What keeps people at demanding jobs? It's usually the paycheck. A family caregiver, on the other hand, is fueled by obligation, guilt, necessity or fear. Paying for care at a nursing home would not only be expensive but also emotionally taxing. That's why many continue caregiving at the expense of their health—despite feeling burned out, despite being pulled in different directions (maintaining a paid full- or part-time job, raising children or helping with the care of grandchildren, etc.). And considering the average monthly cost of nursing home care—$7,513 for a semi-private room, $8,517 for a private room, per Genworth's 2019 Cost of Care Survey —it's understandable. Assisted living communities can also be expensive: the average monthly cost for an assisted living community, per Genworth, is $4,051.
Burnout is real. It's easy to keep going, ignoring the body's warning signs, ignoring fatigue. But if a family caregiver ends up in the hospital, who's around to provide care? If a family caregiver needing surgery is always putting it off because of caregiving, will the condition worsen? Respite care is not selfish; rather, it's self-preservation to continue the caregiving marathon. The truth is that if you're a family caregiver, you don't know when your next break is coming. While the care needs of a stroke victim may be more intense at the beginning, there may be many years of care ahead. Respite will be necessary for the long haul.
Family caregivers suffering burnout can provide sub-optimal care. If the body is compromised by caregiving, how can optimal care for a loved one be assured?
How much does respite cost? It depends on how often you use it and where your loved one receives it.
You can access respite via home health care (medically-based care) and home care providers. Costs will vary based on how many hours or days of service you need, and the extent of care required. On average, according to Caring.com, you may pay anywhere from $15 to $40 per hour for intermittent help (medical or personal care), and $120 to $200 per day or more for live-in care.
Many nursing homes, retirement communities, and assisted living facilities offer short-term respite stays, either on an hourly, half-day, full-day, overnight or extended basis. The cost averages $100 to $250 per day, depending on what level of care is needed. In some facilities, there may be a required minimum number of nights or days to qualify as a respite stay.
Adult day care, or adult day services, is an excellent option for respite, especially for caregivers who need coverage during daytime hours, freeing them to work, go to doctor's appointments, sleep or focus on self-care. Caring.com estimates the cost of adult day services, via a licensed provider, ranges from $25 to $150 per day. Many also offer sliding-scale fees, and accept Medicaid and some other types of insurance coverage.
There may be some lower and even no-cost respite options available in your community as well. Check with your local Area Agency on Aging or the ARCH National Respite Network and Resource Center to learn more about options. Speak with local churches or community organizations to see if they provide respite care or services, like meal delivery or friendly visitors. If your loved one is a veteran or the spouse of a veteran, there may be VA-associated respite options for which they are eligible.
Before you start adding up the numbers, remember the goal of respite is that it's a short-term solution and one that will hopefully prevent or forestall the need for expensive long-term care. It's also tough to assign your health as the caregiver a dollar value, but if you miss work days or caregiving days because of preventable illness or injury—or an emergency—these financial and physical losses are sure to outweigh the up-front expense of respite.

Thank you for all your assistance with my husband during the last few days of his life. I really appreciated all you and your angels did for him and for me. It was such a comfort to have an Angel here. Their careful tending of John and the detailed way they attended to his needs was comforting to both him and to me. I was impressed by the way they knew exactly what to do for his comfort and safety and how to do it. They were also very organized and helpful with things I had not even considered. My only regret is that the time we had together was so short.

Weaving the Multilingual Web: Standards and their Implementations
Martin Dürst - W3C/Keio University & François Yergeau - Alis Technologies
The World Wide Web is still developing very quickly. The basic components HTML and HTTP are slowly stabilizing while new formats such as XML (eXtensible Markup Language; for general markup) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets; for styling information) are being used more and more. In this quickly moving environment, internationalization (i18n) is important to make sure that all users worldwide can equally benefit from Web technology. The Web can be considered a single application, all parts of which must work together regardless of country, language, etc. This tutorial will give an introduction to internationalization on the World Wide Web. A central part is the Unicode-based Reference i18n Model, which appeared first in HTML and has now made its way in XML, CSS and more. It will be described in detail with particular emphasis on HTML and CSS. The tutorial also addresses language tagging, bidirectionality, multilingual typography and advanced applications. A section is devoted to the design and implementation of multilingual Web sites, discussing localization issues, language negotiation and other aspects.

Info on Passions' Switch to DirecTV
Here are a few common questions about the Passions switch to DirecTV on September 17, 2007, and how that will affect your watching ability (from the people at Passions HQ):
A) DIRECTV will make it easy for Passions viewers to keep track of the happenings in "Harmony" by providing fans free installation, a DVR or HD receiver upgrade, and a portable DVD player by calling a special phone number (866-788-0003) or visiting the Web (www.directv.com/passions) that will give those without DIRECTV plenty of time to switch before the new season begins.
Q) I can't get DIRECTV. Will I still be able to watch "Passions" episodes online or on iTunes?
A) No, "Passions" will only be available exclusively on DIRECTV's Channel 101.
Q) Will the current message board still remain active?
A) Yes - www.nbc.com/passions will continue to be the center of the official "Passions" online community. Look for enhanced features and new content soon!
Q) Will my favorite characters still be on the show?

Radiology is the branch of medicine that uses radioactive substances, electromagnetic radiation, and sound waves to create images of the body, its organs, and structures for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. Images can also show how effectively the body and its internal organs and structures are functioning.
Radiology has evolved into a high-tech science with state-of-the-art equipment to aid in imaging every aspect of the body.
While there has been concern over the potential harmful side effects associated with the use of radiation, it is believed that the small risks are greatly outweighed by the information gained about patients' conditions and radiology's contribution to medical science.
Radiology offers both diagnostic and therapeutic services. The specialty areas of radiology include four distinct approaches.
Diagnostic radiology uses external radiation to produce images of the body, its organs, and other internal structures for medical diagnostic purposes.
Nuclear medicine uses very small amounts of radioactive materials to create an image of the body, its organ functions, and structure, for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
Therapeutic radiology, or radiation oncology, uses applications of radiant energy to study, treat, and manage cancer and other diseases.
Interventional radiology uses various imaging techniques to guide the insertion of small instruments and tools through the body to identify and treat a medical disorder without requiring conventional surgery.
For more information, call 404.501.8020.

Josh Dean leads Willamette, which has gone from the Fly to being the top passing team in Division III.
Willamette athletics photo
Can you believe we've already reached the midpoint of the regular season?
We're entering Week 6 in the 11-game season. Most teams already have their bye week behind them, which means lots and lots of football will be played down the stretch.
At the moment, 29 teams that play nonconference games are still undefeated, and amazingly, the same number of teams are currently winless.
Pat Coleman, Keith McMillan and Ryan Tipps give you some nuggets of insight to chew on in this week's Triple Take. And if you've got something to say, don't hesitate to voice your comments below.
— Tipps
Game of the week.
Ryan's take: No. 7 Salisbury at No. 9 St. John Fisher. This is the kind of matchup I anticipated most when Salisbury joined the Empire 8 last season. Though the Gulls won the conference, Fisher got an at-large bid to the 2011 postseason – both went on to overcome two opponents and make it to regional finals. As usual, SU has one of the best rushing attacks in the country (whether dynamic quarterback Dan Griffin will be back in the lineup after Saturday's injury is unclear). They will be tested against Fisher's defense and sacking capabilities. Both teams are Top 10. I like the Gulls for the win, but I also expect this one to be tight.
Pat's take: Washington and Jefferson at Thomas More. I can't imagine what the four and a half hour bus ride from W&J to suburban Cincinnati will be like for a team that has to be reeling emotionally after the loss of its senior captain and running back. But on the field, I am sure the memory of Tim McNerney will be an inspiration to the Presidents. Conventional wisdom might expect W&J to come out flat but in my opinion they will be anything but.
Keith's take: No. 15 Birmingham-Southern at No. 6 Wesley. There's at least as much on the line in No. 8 Cal Lutheran at Redlands and No. 16 Wabash at Wittenberg, but with only one Pool B bid guaranteed, the round robin between B-SC, Wesley and Huntingdon looms large. The Wolverines play both Alabama teams this month, and the Panthers have already scored a 45-38 win over the Hawks that wasn't as close as the final would have you believe. If the Wolverines keep winning, they'll earn the Pool B bid. But with a loss to No. 2 UMHB in the books, another would be pushing it. B-SC is rushing for 250 yards per game, scoring 42 points per and has the nation's third-best pass efficiency defense. The Wolverines are unlike any team B-SC has faced so far, talent-wise. If Wesley's defensive line can control the line of scrimmage, B-SC is going to struggle.
Surprisingly close game.
Ryan's take: Louisiana College at East Texas Baptist. ETBU comes in as the underdog, no question about that. But both have experience against some good teams, and the Tigers have the benefit of practicing against a strong passing game, an element that will translate well when they host the No. 21 ranked Wildcats.
Pat's take: No. 16 Wabash at Wittenberg. Wittenberg has had a great deal of success at home in recent years, and the Tigers haven't lost a home game since Wabash came to town in 2008. That's the one thing which gives me pause about this game. It's also one of those games where the AFCA poll and our poll disagree. Our poll suggests Wabash should win at Wittenberg. While the AFCA poll does rank Wabash higher, it's only by one spot and I wouldn't think that's enough to overcome home-field advantage. On a neutral field, I'd take Wabash for sure. At Wittenberg, however, I think it will be close.
Keith's take: Northwestern (Minn.) at St. Scholastica. The surprising part is only if you're far from UMAC country but are familiar with the Saints from last season's playoff bracket. The Eagles won nine games in 2008 and one in 2010, and are back in the mix for a conference title, at 4-1, with only a loss to St. John's. Since allowing 28 in a season-opening loss to Whitworth, St. Scholastica has given up 26 points total in four wins. So it's the UMAC's best defense, any way you slice it, against the conference's best scoring offense and most efficient passing attack, led by QB Josh Balzer. One of these teams will likely end up in the playoffs.
Most likely Top 25 team to get upset.
Ryan's take: No. 11 North Central. Yes, I know one of my colleagues picked on North Central last week, too, but when you play in a conference as good as the CCIW, every week will be treacherous. A 3-1 opponent like Millikin that played Illinois Wesleyan to the bone will be no exception.
Pat's take: No. 10 Bethel. Yes, I know I picked Bethel to play surprisingly close last week, but that came through, actually. This is the middle of three big games for Bethel, as the Royals host Concordia-Moorhead this week, which is receiving votes in the D3football.com Top 25, then travel to St. Thomas next week. Concordia-Moorhead doesn't have the dynamic playmaker that Augsburg has on offense, but is undefeated and also coming off a bye week.
Keith's take: No. 9 St. John Fisher. I wasted a bunch of time looking at the numbers on Concordia-Moorhead and Bethel before I noticed that Pat took that game. With so many top 25 teams playing their best opponents of the season, I could pick games that are technically upsets but not surprises. And that's what I ended up doing. Having seen it before, the Cardinals will defend the Salisbury option better — the Sea Gulls might not hit their average of 319 yards per game. Yet Fisher has let inferior opponents hang close, so there's a good chance Salisbury runs away with it (pun acknowledged, but not intended). With practically the whole top 25 playing tough opponents, there just weren't any limbs I felt comfortable going out on. So you get a not-shock as the pick.
They'll be on your radar.
Ryan's take: Gallaudet. With a rushing offense that averages 230 yards a game, and solid division of special teams players, has anyone else noticed that the Bison are creeping their way through a one-loss season, with that lone loss coming against undefeated Otterbein? Sure Mount Ida and Norwich and a couple of other ECFC teams could upend Gallaudet, but the team is on its way to a remarkable season after only a couple of years into restarting its varsity program. The checklist for the next three weeks involves Husson, Norwich and Becker.
Pat's take: Willamette. The Bearcats are 4-0, with two wins against the American Southwest Conference, one against the Southern Athletic Association and one against fellow NWC member Pacific. No offense to Pacific, but this will be the first serious NWC challenge the new-look Bearcats have faced this season. And while Whitworth is 5-0 itself, the Pirates haven't played anyone on the level of either Hardin-Simmons or East Texas Baptist. The top passing team might be slowed, but not enough to stop the unbeaten run.
Keith's take: Millsaps. Off to their best start since the Mike DuBose years, the Majors have a major challenge in a visit from No. 24 Huntingdon. The Hawks are averaging 452 yards and 43 points a game, slightly more than Millsaps' 442.5 and 41. So basically first team to play defense, or get a few turnovers, wins. The radar-worthy interest is so that I can figure out whether to start taking the Majors seriously as a playoff threat again. And if so, what an awful year for the SAA to give up its automatic bid.
Which team will continue to defy preseason expectations?
Ryan's take: Albion. Albion is a 3-1 team with a win (albeit a close one) over Wheaton. They're on my ballot for the Top 25 poll, but clearly many people are still skeptical of how good this Britons squad is. It's hard to think they can be this good the year after Chris Greenwood graduated and went to the NFL. Well, Albion lining up against Trine this weekend should help do some convincing by coming away with a win.
Pat's take: Rowan. The Profs have definitely outplayed the expectations, with their only loss coming to Merrimack, a Division II program that is 2-2 against fellow D-II schools in a not-so-great conference. Montclair State has definitely underplayed even the modest preseason expectations for a team that lost a large senior class.
Keith's take: Redlands. By this I mean I don't think a playoff team last season expects to be 1-3 after the first week of October, but the Bulldogs are staring at the very real possibility of this, at home against No. 8 Cal Lutheran. Redlands is 213th nationally in passing yardage allowed, at 258 yards per game, and the Kingsmen are passing for 295.
Which team is going to soar?
Ryan's take: The Owls, of Westfield State. After a 1-4 start to the season, there doesn't appear to be a lot working in favor of Westfield State. Rusher Kevin Parnell, who does good work on special teams, too, is the team's bright spot. But this week, their NEFC Bogan pride is on the line as they go up against winless Maine Maritime. Both teams are riding a four-game skid, and someone's got to break it. Despite the losses, the Owls, compared with the Mariners, have simply been playing better, more competitive games as of late.
Pat's take: The Bombers, of Ithaca. It will be interesting as Ithaca's schedule gets a little harder here. For a team that has had such upheaval at the quarterback position, the offensive numbers are impressive, but the defense will have its hands full dealing with an Alfred team that dropped 40 on Buffalo State two weeks ago.
Keith's take: The Eagles, of UW-La Crosse. Turnover generation has been key for UW-La Crosse, which is hosting UW-Platteville, which was without its top two QBs in much of last week's game. In other words, backup QBs vs. a team that has forced six more turnovers than it has allowed, against good competition, is a recipe for trouble. It's also the first home game for the Eagles after four on the road in their 2-2 start.
Which team needs a win for morale purposes?
Ryan's take: Hampden-Sydney. For the past several years, the Tigers have rightfully seen themselves as strong contenders for the ODAC title. But last week, Catholic had other things in mind. The conference, though, isn't too far removed from the 2008 season, when four teams shared the conference title with 4-2 ODAC records. All is certainly not lost for H-SC, and a win this weekend against undefeated Bridgewater will again put the team back on its intended track. But this will be one. tough. fight.
Pat's take: St. John's. But whether the Johnnies will get it, with a trip to Augsburg on the docket, is another matter.
Keith's take: Knox. I was going to go with Wilkes here, after losing by 90 to Widener, but the Colonels already bounced back and won, 37-27, against FDU-Florham. Wilkes plays first-year Misericordia, while Knox, which had a quarterback pass for 736 yards in Week 1 and hasn't won since, gets a visit from 0-5 Beloit. The Buccaneers are averaging less than 10 points per game, good for 233rd in the nation in scoring offense, giving Knox a rare advantage. They average more than 22, factoring in the 55 they scored in the Week 1 loss to Eureka. And, making my answer four times as long as Pat's, St. Vincent (0-4) could use a morale-boosting win when it gets a visit from Thiel (1-4.)

Serious Grape: Our Search for the Best Riesling
You may have noticed a few bottles of riesling around these parts this summer. We started reviewing a bottle every weekday in July, exploring riesling from different continents, different countries, different regions, different villages, and different vineyards.
What did we discover? Our tastings reaffirmed that riesling is misunderstood, underappreciated, and undersold—this stuff is delicious, and too many people are missing out. These mineral-rich, low-alcohol wines are some of the most delicious whites we've ever tasted, especially in the $15 to $25 range. We tried about 45 bottles over the course of the past two months, paying attention to each wine and how it evolved in the glass. At a big panel tasting, the big wines knock out the little ones, the acid exhausts your palate, the alcohol does its numbing thing, and you can miss the subtle details. So we tasted one by one, filing reports that we hope will help you out when you're choosing bottles at your local wine shop. Want a cheat sheet? Here are a few of the highlights of our summer of riesling.

The Perfect Riesling For Your Food
When in doubt, pair riesling and raw fish—it's a no-brainer; sushi and sashimi benefits from the bright acidity and minerality/salinity of the wine, and the wine sparkles through the clean, rich flavors of the fish. But riesling is great with a wide variety of dishes. To name just a few options...

I got the chance to buy a case of Croft 1977 VP quite recently (I need to collect them yet), at what seemed to me a very decent price.
With this purchase, I have exceeded the number of 1977 VP's that I ideally want to have. So if anyone is interested, I would like to part with 5 bottles of Croft 1977 VP.
I see the following optinos:
- sell the bottles at the price I got them for (all 5 in one transaction preferably);
- trade them for 4 or 3 (depending on the producer / condition) bottles of 1970 VP.
The 2nd option would be my option of preference
Please note: I am located in The Netherlands (near Breda). And I will be attending the 2015 Vintage Port tasting in Leverkusen Germany on November 3rd (an exchange of bottles could therefor also take place there).
Best regards,
Croft 1977 VP
Port to sell? Excellent! Please post here, with details of what you have, how stored, and where in the world it is. Please start by reading our 'Standard advice to would-be vendors' and 'A note to wine merchants'.
