St. John's, NL – Three Pirates goals in a span of 4 minutes in the second period, including the first career goals for Mathieu Brisebois and Mark Louis, were the difference as the Pirates defeated the St. John's IceCaps 5-4 in a wild game at MileOne Centre in St. John's. Louis Domingue made 30 saves in the win to remain unbeaten in regulation for his AHL career.
The IceCaps had the first opportunity of the game, but it was the Pirates who capitalized first. After Jerome Sampson was dragged down in front of the next at 14:27, he was awarded a penalty shot, which was stymied by a pad save from Louis Domingue. Brett Hextall then put the Pirates on the board, registering his 6th goal of the year with 11:57 left in the first period. Hextall's goal was assisted by Jordan Martinook, and came with the extra attacker on for a delayed penalty. Just 2:05 later, the Pirates lead was doubled as Tobias Rieder took a Brandon McMillan feed and slipped it past Jussi Olkinuora to give the Pirates a 2-0 lead. Rieder's goal was his 10th of the year, making him the second Pirates player to reach double digits in goals behind Andy Miele. Olkinuora was relieved in net by Eddie Pasquale following Rieder's goal, and the IceCaps struck back, with JC Lipon tallying his 6th of the year with 1:33 left in the period to bring the IceCaps within 1. Both teams had 13 shots in the first period.
St. John's tied in in the second. After a penalty to Mathieu Brisebois, Will O'Neill scored the tying goal for St. John's, his 4th of the year. O'Neill's goal came 5:55 into the second and ended the Pirates' streak of 18 straight penalty kills dating back to the third period of December 21st's game against the Providence Bruins. From there, the Pirates would dominate. After penalties to Schnell and Chiarot gave the Pirates a 5 on 3, Lucas Lessio retook the lead for the Pirates with his 9th goal of the year at 12:45 of the second. Daine Todd had the lone assist. As the power play continued, Mathieu Brisebois struck for the Pirates just 61 seconds later, with his first professional goal coming at 13:46 of the second. Randy Jones and Rieder had the assists, giving Rieder a 2 point night. The Pirates weren't finished, as Mark Louis, the converted defensemen playing in his 105th career game, would get in on the action, taking a feed from Brandon McMillan and putting it past Pasquale for his first professional goal at 16:13 of the second. Jordan Szwarz assisted Louis's first ever Pirates goal, and Pirates took a 5-2 lead into the third.
The IceCaps would mount a comeback in the third. John Albert scored first in the third period and put the IceCaps within 2 with 17:06 left in regulation. Kael Mouillierat then added a power play tally just under 2 minutes later with 15:18 left, and brought St. John's within one. However, Louis Domingue stood strong and kept the IceCaps off the board. With the win, Domingue remains unbeaten in regulation in his AHL career and improves to 5-0-1 on the season.

Four Webster Parish teams make the cut
The LHSAA basketball playoff pairing were announced Thursday, and four Webster Parish teams will be taking part.
The Minden High Crimson Tide, the North Webster Knights and both teams from Doyline. The Minden High Lady Tiders just missed the cut as the #34 team in the girls' 4A Power Rankings.
Minden High Crimson Tide
The Minden Crimson Tide will head south on Tuesday, as they take on the #13 ranked Salmen Spartans.
"Salmen is a very talented team," Tide head coach Alan Shaw said. "This is a very tough draw for a first-round game."
The Tide traveled to Salmen two years ago and we're eliminated on the Spartans run to the state semi-finals.
Salmen is primarily an out-side shooting team that will spread the floor and take the three-point shot.
"They are very talented and guard oriented," Shaw said. "They shoot a lot of threes. In fact, they shoot more threes than twos. And they make a lot of them."
Shaw says his team knows they have their work cut out for them.
"We're just going to keep preparing and do what we can to match up with them. They will be a tough team to beat, but if we shoot the ball well and defend their three-point shooting, we have a chance."
The Tide and Spartans will play Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in Salmen. Tickets are $6.
The winner will take on the winner of the #4 Northside and #29 Tuerlings Catholic game.
Doyline High
The Doyline Panthers and Lady Panthers will both make playoff appearances.
The #23 seeded Panthers will travel to Jennings to take on the #10 seed Hathaway Hornets at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
The winner will play the winner of #7 Anacoco and #26 Grand Lake.
The Lady Panthers, seeded #15, will host #18 Grace Christian on Monday at 6 p.m. The winner will play the winner of #2 Fairview and #31 Zwolle.
North Webster Knights
The North Webster Knights will host their district rivals, the Evangel Eagles Tuesday night.
The Knights are the ninth seeded 2A team, while the Eagles are #24.
The winner of this game will take on the winner of the #8 Winnfield and #25 Oakdale game.
MAIS playoffs
The Glenbrook Apaches are still playing in the MAIS playoffs and will play Franklin Academy at 2:15 p.m. today in Rayville.

My experience at Aston was one of which I will never forget. First of all it gave me the opportunity to be taught by professors with great experience and professionalism in their field of expertise.
During the course I also had the opportunity to meet classmates from different backgrounds and cultures. Many of which I have made real friends with and am still in contact with.As an international student at Aston, I also had the opportunity to experience the on-campus accommodation, in which I met my wonderful flat mates. All these factors combined made my overall experience worthwhile.
During my MSc Thesis, I was able to work with a team of academics in one of the Aston Departments. This gave me an opportunity to have hands on experience whilst implementing a new project management technique into their department. It enabled me to shift my theoretical knowledge into practical knowledge in a real life working environment. The feasibility of my work helped me a lot in my current position because I currently deal with 3 different development teams and coordinate between them.
After Graduating from Aston I was offered a Job as a Software Development Release Manager at SABIS® Educational Services s.a.l. We are responsible for 75 schools across Asia, Europe and the U.S. Once any of these schools have a software requirement, change request or bug in their system, our development team is responsible for providing responding to these requests. My role comes after Software Development. I perform integration tests on the changes and make sure they work and prepare them in a package called a "Release" and send it to the specific school. Once these changes are applied and working well. I am responsible for making sure that all the schools have the same software version and all their databases are aligned.

The BS Degree in Electrical Engineering
The BSEE degree offered by BYU is a traditional EE degree, recognized worldwide by employers of engineers and accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
The electrical engineering field is quite broad and encompasses such areas as computer systems, radio frequency systems, integrated circuits, microwaves, lasers, antennas, signal processing systems, and others. Now that the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers a BS in Computer Engineering in addition to the BS in Electrical Engineering, the structure of each degree should be explained. The requirements for the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering are available on-line.
If you would like to speak to a faculty advisor regarding the electrical engineering program, please contact in Room 459B CB to arrange an appointment with an appropriate advisor.
In addition, there is a discussion on the relationship between both degrees offered by the department and reasons why you might choose one or the other.

CLAREMONT, Minn. (KTTC)- The United States exports approximately 25% of its pork product, with a majority of it going to Japan. Some of those buyers want to know more about their purchase.
"They already buy product, but they're looking to see what's behind the product," says Sam Ziegler with Minnesota Soybean Farmers. "Where's the product come from? We're also able to show them where the feed comes from."
In that feed, providing key proteins to the livestock, is soybeans.
"A lot of our markets are dependent upon international customers," explains Bruce Schmoll, a Claremont farmer, "and so we do a lot of work with the U.S. Meat Export Federation promoting buyers like this to come over to the U.S. to look at the livestock we have, look at the our crops, so they can kind of connect with us."
The stop in Claremont included a look at some of the equipment used in the fields and a closer look at the soybean product that serves as the backbone to what they are buying.
"We've been able to show them that whole process of quality control," says Ziegler, "integrity and the passion that our farmers in Minnesota have for growing food for not just here, local people and the towns around us, but also growing food for countries like Japan."
Portions of Minnesota got off to a slow start to the planting season, and the effects of that is being felt in the prices of their product.
"Our red meat, our livestock customers, are probably happy because maybe in the long run that's going to impact their costs and they might go down a little bit," says Schmoll. "It might help them to purchase more of our products."
As more of these visits from foreign buyers are being scheduled, farmers are seeing an evolution in the way they do business.
"We're going to see our relationships improve with these people in different countries as they do better economically-wise, they're going to be in the market for more of our products," explains Schmoll. "So, in the long run, we have a pretty bright picture."
The Japanese visitors represented businesses that sell United States pork overseas in hotels and other restaurants.

By Jonathan Turner, email@example.com
ROCK ISLAND -- If you don't have the time or money to buy a new house, the35th annual Home Show this past weekend at the QCCA Expo Center was a great place to find remodeling ideas. This year's new feature was "Before & After" (in the North Hall) that showcased projects in their "before" and "after" states in various areas of a house, including the kitchen, bath, family room, closets, electrical room, outside decks, landscaping, siding and windows. "We try to always have something every year to entice people," saidJulie Awkerman, executive officer of the Quad Cities Builders & Remodelers Association. "It'sjust to get people thinking and motivated to do something." "New home starts are up, and that's great. Remodeling, though, is big, too," she said. "Some people are getting their homes ready for the future. Or some people, we're just going to sit where we're at. The interest rates for home buying, it's such a good deal now. It's a little bit of both.Talking to my remodelers, they are all very, very busy." Michelle Verscheure, an interior designer in Geneseo, did most of the design for "Before & After,"updating rooms from a '70s to '80s era to their modern, sleek and stylish look. The new kitchen, for example, featured aback-splash made of metal strips, honed granite countertop (as opposed to polished), with cherry-wood cabinets and stainless steel sink and refrigerator. "I wanted them to come through and dream," Ms. Verscheure said of show visitors, noting she transformed each room with the same amount of space. "To be able to relate to the before and dream about what they could have after." "It doesn't have to be big to be functional and well laid-out," she said of rooms, noting the change from a drab, feature-less laundry room to one with updated, front-load washer and dryer, cabinets and shiny countertops. "People use it for a lot more than laundry now. You can never have enough storage space," Ms. Verscheure said. "And it's really important to have somewhere to fold your clothes, so you're not using your kitchen table or your bed." Themost common remodels now are kitchens and bathrooms, as well as finishing basements, and adding landscaping and furniture outdoors, Ms. Awkerman said. "We have a lot of people who expand their yards. People put more emphasis into their backyards and make that an extra living space," she said, noting homeowners may add an outside kitchen, fire pit or whirlpools. For inside, no-touch faucets are new (activated by motion sensor) and heated flooring in the kitchen, Ms. Awkerman said. Many people remodel not only for the personal satisfaction, but to increase their home's value, said Gayle Staples, of Eldridge-based Premier Bath & Kitchen Resurfacing. Her company refaces kitchen cabinets with new doors, new wood or some with glass windows in one or two doors, and resurfaces kitchen counters with a durable, industrial acrylic polyurethane coating that's sprayed on. That countertop resurfacing is less expensive and time-consuming than installing new, Ms. Staples said. She also resurfaces bathtubs and bathroom tile. "In the last 18 months, we've done a tremendous amount of renovations," saidColin Woods, owner of Milan-based Diamond Builders. "The last sixto seven weeks, new home construction has picked up." Many people build new because of current low interest rates, or are empty nesters who want to downsize to a smaller, single-story home, he said. Whether remodeling or building new, people want similar features. That includes new three- or four-season rooms (such as a living room with fireplace and TV); granite countertops in kitchens,programmed thermostats to automatically lower the heat when needed and motion-sensor lights. "We're seeing a lot of just economical, energy efficiency things, just to save money," Mr. Woods said. "Everybody wants to save. With costs, everything keeps going up. It's for insulation, windows, HVAC, everything. Even the amount of water flushing in the toilet." There is a federal energy tax credit, retroactive for work done in 2012, where homeowners can save $200 for each new energy-efficient window, with a maximum of $500 for windows and doors, said Kristine Girskis, of Suburban Construction of Davenport. "The Home Show is good in bringing to light things that can save you money," she said. Company president J.R. Girskis said he now sells half triple-pane windows with krypton gas, which are 10 times more insulating than traditional single-pane windows. Thetax credit is a bonus, but not the main reason people buy the new energy-efficient windows. The top reason is "because they need new windows, it's cold," he said. "They're easy to clean, low-maintenance." They cost an extra $150 more per window, but the technology is changing, such as flat-screen TVs are much more common for new TVs, Mr. Girskis said, noting that soon all windows will be triple-pane. The Builders Association itself has undergone a makeover.Formerly the Q-C Home Builders Association, it rebranded itself last year, representing more of the work done by its 300-plus builders, remodelers and others in the area, Ms. Awkerman said. "Some people do some commercial, not just home building," she said. "We do building of other sorts too." The price range for new homes averages between $300,000 and $400,000, she said, and new housing starts are up in both the Illinois and Iowa Q-Cs, but still more in Iowa (498 Iowa-side compared to 125 in Illinois in 2012, according to Ruhl & Ruhl Realtors). Rock Island, LeClaire and Princeton have seen the biggest percentage jumps from 2011 to 2012. "Compared to five years ago, it's obviously slower because of the market and everything," Ms. Awkerman said of home-building. "Over the last five years, it's been steady, and picking up. Remodeling, though, has definitely picked up." For more information, visit qcbr.org.

Sue, I have known you
for so long
If I were more musical
I'd write you a song
Instead you get this
Please don't feel dissed
We don't "talk" every day
like we used to
But that doesn't change
how I feel about you.
What I love about Suebob
is she cares so much
She does good deeds
and sows the seeds
of justice and truth
and love and compassion
For her, giving a damn
is always in fashion
She's the bomb diggety
through and through
Happy 50th Birthday, Suebob Davis
We all love you!
If you know Sue, you already know she's awesome. If you don't know her, well, you should get to know her right away.
Deliver your 50th birthday wishes to Sue via Twitter, Facebook, and/or on her blog!

We wrote this guide to help you determine what kind of system will best suit your organization. Here's what we'll cover:
Property managers have unique needs when it comes to technology, and there are hundreds of systems on the market to meet those needs. Some are designed for companies managing multiple types of properties, while others target a specific niche in the industry (e.g., residential, commercial, university housing and homeowners' associations.)
Buildium is an example of a vendor providing an electronic rent collection portal.
Property management systems help landlords and managers increase efficiency, improve collections, and enhance the quality of service provided to the tenant. Property management software streamlines the wide range of tasks that a manager performs on a regular basis. Common applications found in these systems include:
Assists managers with their general ledger, payables and rent rolls. Some systems provide reporting features that calculate total per-unit vacancy days and profit/loss at both unit and organization-wide levels. Examples of vendors offering accounting features include IBS 10.0i and SKYLINE Software.
Tenant & Lease Tracking
Enables landlords and rental owners to automate and track the leasing process from beginning to end. Functions include: tenant screening, move-in, rent/utility payments, maintenance, vacancy planning, move-out and make-ready. Example vendors: Buildium, Spectra, and AssociationVoice Building Edition.
Budgeting & Forecasting
Helps managers develop accurate operating budgets and calculate future values. Uses historical lease and financial information to make budget projections for revenue and expenses, accounting for CPI increases, inflation, market rates and tenant improvements. Includes tools for assessment and analysis, tax planning and scenario planning. Example vendors: Buildium and Propertyware.
Tracks work orders, schedules preventative maintenance, and coordinates communication with maintenance staff. Applications can automatically create schedules and alerts and generate work orders, and some systems let tenants make maintenance requests online, expediting service. Example vendors: HippoFM, Maintenance Connection, and Bigfoot CMMS.
Before evaluating solutions, you'll want to know in what type of buyer category you belong:
We've spoken with thousands of property managers over the years about new software solutions. Based on our interactions with these buyers, our report looks to answer the following questions:
Click here to access our full report. For more detailed information on this report and its findings, please contact Houston Neal (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Online Tenant Services. Renters increasingly want to receive rent reminders via email. They also want access to Web-based property management software interfaces where they can pay rent, file maintenance requests, submit their notice to vacate, or search their handbook. A system that supports renters' needs is critical, especially if you own multiple units or properties.
Automatic Vacancy Postings. The Internet is the first place most people go when they're looking for a place to live. Therefore, many systems allow you to post vacancies to sites like Craigslist, Rental.com and Apartments.com using the information already in your system. All you have to do is click a few buttons, and the listing is posted to half a dozen places, helping you fill vacancies faster with much less work.
This is an example of Point2 Property Manager's listing feature.
Integrated Web and Marketing Tools. Many products include tools that help managers build websites that showcase and market their properties. More integrated systems may include search engine optimization (SEO) tools to help build traffic to your site--and your listings. These tools can include analytics features that allow you to identify traffic sources and dashboards that help measure the impact of your marketing efforts.

This Is My Bracelet!
By tsc regular shopper
from Calgary
I have been on the search for a nice gold bracelet for a long time now, back to when the price of gold quadrupled pretty much. All the bracelets I've ever been attracted to ever since, cost an arm and a leg and were too expensive for me and the less expensive ones I've tried have been so light and flimsy that they'd not stand up to daily wear especially getting banged around on my wrist. FINALLY this one is a keeper! It's a decent gold weight, strong with the flat links, looks like something on my wrist and the flat shiny links catch the light like mad when I move my wrist. The links stand up a bit and don't all lie flat which creates interest and the 14 carat rich Italian gold is a warm beautiful colour. It feels well made and sturdy and it's made in Italy! VERY VERY HAPPY WITH MY FIND! The sale price makes this bracelet a very good deal and worth every penny! It's been years of looking to find this particular bracelet and at a price I can justify! Thank you Gold Expressions and TSC because this is a beautiful unique high quality bracelet AND at an affordable price with the easy pay.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I never thought I could wear that!"
A big fan of shift dresses, GE marketing exec Jessica Beegle knew they highlighted her shapely legs, but didn't realize they also concealed another asset: her slim middle. "I never thought to play up my waist—it just goes straight up and down." With a few key pieces, we gave Jessica some extra curve—and made her look killer from head to toe.
"I learned it's actually more flattering to tuck your shirt in tight!"

"I gave up on jeans a long time ago," says Amanda Idoko, an aspiring actress and legal assistant. "I have to buy them in one size to fit my thighs, but then they're too big in the waist." Determined to restore her faith, we found her the perfect pair: Spun out of stretchy, comfortable denim and generously cut in the thigh, they hugged Amanda's every curve. "When I tried them on, I knew they were different."
"These fit great, were really comfortable and didn't have that weird bunching problem."

The fix: a pencil skirt and chambray top—crisp-yet-relaxed pieces that show off her frame but aren't too restraining. "I love this outfit! It makes me feel like I have a really sexy shape—not self-conscious."

LANSING (WKZO) -- A statewide recycling initiative is being launched by Governor Snyder. He plans to appoint a nine member Michigan Recycling Council to oversee the implementation of his plan. Michigan residents are well below the national average for residential household recycling, with Governor Snyder's office putting the rate at 15-percent compared to a national average of 35-percent. A recent study shows over 435-million dollars in metal, glass, paper and plastic that could be recycled instead winds up in Michigan landfills every year.

Daily Links: Positive Cash-Flow Edition
Published on - January 16th, 2008 (by J.D. Roth)
This is my first month without debt obligation. (I eliminated my last non-mortgage debt at the beginning of December.) I didn't realize how much money I'd been throwing at debt recently — a combination of frugality and hard work created a significant positive cash flow. Now I'm reaping the rewards of that, getting to see my bank account increase instead of sending the money off to repay debt. It's a fantastic feeling!
Here are some recent articles at other sites that might help you achieve a positive cash flow:
- Flexo at Consumerism Commentary is currently running a series on "putting your savings into hyperdrive". In the third part, he looks at one of my favorite topics: how to automate your savings.
- The Working Dollar answers the question, "My company offers a 401(k): What should I do?". The obvious answer is: participate! Todd works with 401(k) plans every day, and from his experience most people don't understand how their plan works. He's hoping to provide some answers.
- Lynnae at Being Frugal explains how she taught her preschooler the value of a dollar. I've never heard of a kid this young grasping the concept of money and saving. This is a fun little story.
- Finally, Pinyo at Moolanomy polled his fellow personal finance bloggers, asking them for their best stories from 2007. His list features lots of great reading.
Today on the way home from depositing my paycheck, I stopped at the comic book store. There I made my first purchase of 2008 (The Savage Sword of Conan!). In the past, I would have bought $50 or $100 worth of books, most of which I would never read. I came home this afternoon and enjoyed a couple of stories from the book. I'll spend the next few weeks working my way through it, and then I'll buy something new. I like this way better. It feels good.
This article is about Spare Change
Congratulation on being debt-free! I am almost there — not counting mortgage, of course.
Thank you for mentioning the best of PF blogosphere post, and thank you for your support — now and in the past.
Comic books…uh oh. I still have a bunch of unopened ones. I sunk a lot of money into that. Be careful!
Thanks for the link. I just finished writing another part to that series on saving and when I read your post above, I saw, "The Saving Sword of Conan." Sigh, I need to get out more.
Oh wow!! HUGE congrats on killing off the non-mortgagedebt! I should be joining you in that wonderful feeling in just a few short months
Congratulations on being debt free! I can't wait until I'm right there with you!
And thanks for mentioning my post!
And of course, congrats on the lack of debt obligation!
I love your little comic book "issue"! I have the same struggles in the form of books and sometimes it switches to shoes…and it is helpful when I read a comic book update from you. A big congrats on being debt free!! Feels good, don't it? I'm happy for you that this blog is becoming so successful. I read a lot of blogs and your content is consistently top notch. Since, I blog as well, I know the effort involved.
Just wanted to say "thanks" for keeping it real.
Congratulations on getting rid of your debt! Every time someone defies that "oh, EVERYONE has debt" assumption, it's a small victory for sensible living.
Congrats on killing that last debt payment, JD. Here comes the fun part – watching your money grow. It's amazing how quickly saving a few hundred here and there adds up! Then it's amazing to watch compound interest make it grow even more!
WOW! You must be on top of the world right now. Congratulations.
How long did you work at it?
There's nothing like the feeling of chipping away at a goal and finally seeing it happen!
Congrats, JD! Just don't buy a Mini Cooper to celebrate.
I really liked Lynnae's article as well…I think I may try that with my kids someday.
I'm right there with you. We just wrapped up paying off our unsecured debt and now we are working on saving and investing $50,000 in 2008 (plus maxing out our 401ks). I'm planning to use the same habits to grow our money as I did to pay off debt.
(1) My husband and I are on the same page re: our 2008 goals.
(2) We have set up a savings/investing snow ball. We have a handy chart to keep track off our savings. We also have a weekly schedule for throwing money at our savings goals.
(3) We will be using a spending plan and working on creating a budget to help us live under our means.
(4) We will continue not using credit cards and will instead use cash/debit and save up for larger purchases.
Congrats JD on now being debt free. Feels great doesn't it! I'm right behind you and looking forward to that day as well. Also, thanks for the link, I appreciate it.
In September 2007, my boyfriend and I decided to sell his house – instead of moving to it and remodeling mine. On Nov 3, we put up the for sale sign – after 4 years of doing a complete remodel all ourselves. On Dec 12 we got a check. On Dec 13, we paid off my mortgage. On Dec 14 I gave notice at my work. On Jan 4 I left my workplace. On Jan 12 we got married. And today we have a 30k CD and about $11 in the bank. No payments even though we have 3 cars (one of which will be used to remodel the current house which is questionable in warmth and foundation). The new car is 11 years old, the other 19, and the big truck is the mid 80s. We can't wait to get rid of the big truck and 16 foot trailer after the remodel (which will take 2-4 years).
Not having payments is weird. We now have to save for property tax and car insurances. Apparently we can live on $1200 a month which includes food and entertainment. The rest will go to his retirement fund.
I have no idea of how people make it on minimum wage/less than living wage.
It was worth it. Combining finances has allowed this to happen. I am finishing up a teaching certificate and switching careers and I hope my husband (that sounds weird) can go back to school, too.
Woops that was $11k in the bank, not $11. Geez.
I read the link on how to motivate your child to save. Really, it was an article on how to motivate your child to do chores. If you think about it – using money as a reinforces is like bribing: If you do this, I will give you this. But then, aren't we all bribed (paycheck).
There is a difference between bribing and positive reinforcement. Positive reinforcement (PR) is done under the condition that you give something to increase a behavior and it really does increase that behavior. It is more effective than bribes. So I use both – bribes and PR. Every week my son brings home his homework turn in sheet with scores. I give him $3 for giving me the sheet and $.50 for each item turned in. That is a bribe but that is how he pays for his mangas and games. Naturally 1/2 of all that he makes goes to a savings account which he now has to maintain himself (11 years old).
Now my son has autism. When he was 7, he was becoming very defiant. So I worked with a token board. Every time he did what I said without complaining, I gave him a penny to velcro onto a board. With 10 pennies, he got x. Within 3 days his attitude changed. And we faded the token board.
I then had him do more chores around the house. There were 4 chores. If he did them everyday, he got $7 a week. With the chores under his belt (taught) and without complaints, we faded weekly allowance for the homework system now in place.
It's all a matter of the principles of behavior analysis. Pretty old stuff thanks to Watson, Skinner, etc.
Congrats on getting rid of the debt ball and chain. I'm free from the credit cards, now working on the car and student loans soon.
Yeah! Welcome to the world of cash-flow! It's a nice place to live and well worth the hard work of paying off that debt to get there. In fact, the harder you work (more debt) to get there the more I think you'll enjoy it.
Just remember keep your debt ratios low – less than 30% of income is what conservative banks recommend (by conservative I mean those who generally didn't partake of the sub-prime mortgage lending).
I still think the best thing we ever did was buy a small house with a reasonable mortgage and stay there even when the income started going up. I'm going to have kids (or a kid) and we'll need a bigger place eventually, but for now we're very content in a home that only costs us 15% of our household income. It gives us positive cash-flow!
You bought one comic book after becoming debt-free, instead of $50 – $100 worth? That's been my experience too, since becoming debt-free myself. When we have the money, we feel in control, and don't want to part with it, or buy way less and enjoy it more. When we are in debt, we sometimes get a 'what's the use?' kind of a feeling, like "I'll never get out of debt", so we spend more to relieve that pain. Almost like the anxiety drives us, but once we feel the peace of mind coming from not being in debt, then we are feeling relaxed and just not driven to make those over the top purchases. I'm only paying for utilities, taxes and groceries now – so simple, and if I get myself back into debt, I'll lose these great feelings, so don't want to go back there again. That's why I can keep my spending down. And I'm just marveling, like you, how my bank account is increasing every month.
I like your site, but doesnt driving to the bank to deposit your paycheck seem like a huge waste of time, gas, and overall oppotunity costs? Cant you have direct deposit and kill two birds with one stone?

SOUTHFIELD (WKZO) -- Groups who want to legalize marijuana in Michigan for more than medical purposes say they're going to show their economic clout in the currency they use. The "Detroit Free Press" reports pot and cannabis supporters are now in the midst of a three-week campaign to spend a two-dollar bill every time they pay cash for anything.
adio talk show host, medical marijuana user and caregiver Steven Greene says they hope people realize the tax dollars that could be gained from legalizing weed, and the tax money that is wasted by arresting and prosecuting people for using the drug.

Oil pulling is an ancient technique that's been around since the beginning of time. It's making a comeback on YouTube. Thousands of people are posting videos of themselves oil pulling; swooshing unrefined oils in their mouths.
At Natural Frontier Market on the Upper East Side, store manager Pasang Sheroa has people coming in asking for shots of coconut oil, sunflower oil, and extra virgin olive oil.
One teaspoon to one tablespoon of unrefined oil for 5 to 20 minutes can help whiten teeth and prevent cavities. So I had to give it a try. I swished and swished some more. Front to back, side to side. The oil felt a little thick going through my teeth but I hung in there for about 3 minutes. So there's no way I could do that for 20 minutes but I have to say the after taste isn't all that bad. One really important thing, you have to make sure you spit this out. If you don't you'll be ingesting all of the toxins you works so hard to get out of your body.
"Rinse with salt water and brush your teeth like normal," said MaryRuth Ghiyam, a nutritional consultant. She said pulling can actually help those with systematic disease like diabetes and asthma.
"Oil is sticky so that be bacteria that was awakened while you're sleeping sticks to the oil in your mouth or you remove the oil it goes with it," she said.
Dr. Frederick Stange has patients following the trend and says it can improve oral health but shouldn't replace more traditional techniques.
"It should not replace brushing because the bacteria that sits on the teeth needs to be physically removed," he said.
So it's safe to add the oil swishing technique to your regular brushing routine as needed and no more than once a day.

If an insurer does not meet the MLR standards, it may pay rebates to its customers.

Starlight rockets from the sky.
Glitter sparkles every eye.
Colored lights have our attention.
An act of nature, or man's invention?
The spectacle forms a brilliant crown,
Circling earth as it showers down.
Intended, or a happenstance?
A coronation-
Just by chance?
This celebration of light and color,
A gift to earth
From no One other
Than God.
Who sprinkled the heavens with stars,
Like glitter.

Starbucks scribbles fiscal cliff hopes on cups
The coffee giant's CEO hopes to prompt politicians with a 'Come Together' message, but the approach is less potent than decaf.
At Starbucks, the answer to the fiscal cliff is, apparently, giving all of its Washington D.C. employees carpal tunnel syndrome.
In a letter to employees that leaked Wednesday, Starbucks (SBUX) chief executive Howard Schultz asked baristas to scrawl "Come Together" on cups for drink orders at all of the chain's roughly 120 locations in the D.C. area on Thursday and Friday. Starbucks servers usually restrict their scribbling to a customer's name and order details, but Schultz says he's trying to send a message to lawmakers about how fiscal cliff negotiations are affecting the "consumer psyche and behavior."
"Rather than be bystanders, you and your customers have an opportunity -- and I believe we all have a responsibility -- to send our elected officials a respectful but potent message, urging them to come together to find common ground," Schultz wrote.
So how's this going to affect the wait time on D.C. denizens' coffee, and will anyone know what it means or care? Starbucks already told baristas to slow their pace two years ago to address quality concerns and apparently did some "Come Together" test runs that found the extra words didn't affect production. Schultz is confident that folks in D.C. are well aware of the ongoing fiscal cliff discussions and will clog his company's social media channels with reminders just in case they aren't.
Congress and President Obama left for Christmas break nowhere close to a deal to address tax increases and automatic government spending cuts scheduled to start next week. Both are headed back to work on Thursday, with the Congressional Budget Office warning them that the fiscal cliff could lead to another U.S. recession.
Since Schultz believes that such broad-ranging economic matters ultimately affect whether or not a customer approaches his counter or upgrades from tall to grande, he tends to get vocal when problems arise. During the debt ceiling debates last year, Schultz vowed to cease his political donations if a deal wasn't made and pressed fellow CEOs to do the same.
In his letter to employees, he uses the group Fix The Debt and its stable of CEO supporters as an example of how the country should be pushing for a solution to the fiscal cliff and steadier federal economic policy in the future. The group's detractors tend to use the word "overreaction" when describing its stance on fiscal cliff issues and point out that raising taxes while cutting spending may balance the nation's books in a way that politically sensitive lawmakers in both parties can't or won't.
Still, Schultz points to this year's noticeably weak holiday season and Wal-Mart (WMT) CEO Mike Duke's warning about the fiscal cliff's effect on holiday spending as signs that something needs to be done. He's taking out full-page ads in The Washington Post and The New York Times (NYT) to further hammer those points home, but even his own company admits it's a fairly passive political effort.
Schultz didn't talk about whether increased taxes or decreased spending should be a bigger part of the solution, and employees may be similarly dispassionate when Thursday and Friday roll around. A company spokesperson told CNN that Schultz's "Come Together" request was not mandatory. Baristas don't have to write it if it makes them feel "uncomfortable."
In summary, Starbucks and its CEO want lawmakers to "Come Together," but in no specific fashion and not if it freaks out the baristas or backs up the line. It's a political statement, but one about as controversial as swapping soy milk for 2% or holding the whipped cream.
