I am looking for a laser eye surgeon to do Bladeless LASIK. Is TLC the best lasik clinic. TLC has really attractive financing avail, so would be great to know their docs are great too!
Are TLC Lasik Doctors the Best for Laser Eye Surgery?
Doctor Answers 3
Are TLC Lasik Doctors the Best for Laser Eye Surgery?
TLC is a coporate LASIK provider with different surgeons at each location. They may or may not be the best in their particular community. It is usually a good idea to go to more than one surgeon and meet them, learn about their particular equipment and find out if you are a good candidate. Most facilities offer very similar financing options. I believe picking your surgeon is the most important choice that you have to make! Additionally, make sure that you are going to receive Blade-Free Wavefront LASIK - this is currently the most advanced form of LASIK available.
TLC has a great reputation. In the DC market, I know there are some very skilled surgeons there. I would ask around your friends, family, and co-workers to see if any of them have had LASIK and if they'd recommend their surgeon. You can also check out sites like RealSelf and others for patient recommendations in your area if you don't know of anyone who's has laser vision correction before.
Most practices offer some sort of financing and, to give you an insider tip, most docs will negotiate on price to get your business. They figure that you'll refer your friends and family members to them, making up for an discrepancy in the profit made from your surgery. Hope that helps!
TLC is only as good as the local doctor
TLC is an excellent organization, but the care you get with LASIK is personalized, and is only as good as the local doctor who is treating you and their staff. Concerning financing, the same type of financing and programs are available from many different providers. You may want to check more about TLC from the information available about their public traded stock TLCV which is TLC vision.
I would recommend you consider lasik care from a personal recommendation, from a doctor referral, or from visiting a few different providers before making this decision. You may also want to investigate the technology available at that particular TLC center, since they are not all the same.
Please be aware that just because Tiger Woods had his LASIK at TLC does not mean that he would have had it done by any doctor at any TLC center nor does it mean that you cannot get just as good or better a procedure with the doctor who you believe has the best overall program for your particular eyes.
Again, TLC overall has an excellent reputation and I believe that they can be an excellent choice for laser vision correction, but youshould do your homework and investigate carefully before making this decision.

TEL AVIV (Mar. 6)
Defense Minister Moshe Dayan called yesterday for the economic and legal integration of the occupied Arab territories with Israel. He also called for the establishment of a string of Israeli settlements in the mountainous regions of the West Bank. Gen. Dayan made his remarks at a meeting of physicians and scientists here. He said that contrary to the views of some of his cabinet colleagues, such moves would enhance rather than hamper the prospects for eventual peace.
Gen. Dayan stressed that Israel must create new "facts" in the occupied territories. Egyptian and Jordanian laws still in force in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank must be abrogated and replaced with Israeli law, he declared, in order to symbolize the changed situation. He said the fact that Egyptian and Jordanian laws are still in effect makes the Arabs tend to believe that Israel's presence is temporary and uncertain, and the Arabs, in turn, simply do not know how to behave.
In addition. Gen. Dayan said, the Arab population in the occupied areas must be further integrated into Israel's economic life. They should be less dependent on the Arab states and more on Israel, he declared, advocating a policy that has been bitterly opposed by the Secretary-General of his own Israel Labor Party, former Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir. He spoke of at least 35,000 Arabs working for Israeli firms instead of the 18,000 so employed today. "In the interval between now and the time when the Egyptians choose to stage a new confrontation, everything possible should be done to create new facts," Gen. Dayan said. He added that on this issue there was no disagreement between himself and his colleague, Acting Prime Minister, Yigal Allon. They differed, he said, only on who their political allies should be. The reference was to Mapam, the left-wing labor party that recently aligned itself with the Israel Labor Party and which believes that only temporary measures should be taken in the occupied territories.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is quietly bringing back rifles, shotguns and ammunition to hundreds of U.S. stores as the struggling retail giant seeks to reinvigorate its one-stop shopping appeal and lure more male customers. The world's largest retailer stopped selling hunting rifles and bullets at all but a third of its U.S. stores five years ago, citing diminishing sales. It is now restoring them to hundreds of locations, bringing the total to nearly half of its more than 3,600 U.S. namesake stores, as part of a larger push to restore "heritage categories" of merchandise such as fishing rods and bolts of sewing fabric that it removed in an attempt to go upscale that backfired.
What do you think? Should gun sales be expanding or declining further at Wal-Mart locations?

A Documentary By Michael Greene. In October of 2006, a small mom and pop record store in Southern New Jersey named Full Circle Records announced that it was going out of business and that the liquidation sale would continue until mid December. Ironically, at approximately the same time, Tower Records, the iconic juggernaut of the music retail market, made the same announcement. Something has happened to the music retail world and it seemed to have happened overnight. …Or did it? The Final Days Of Full Circle Records is a fascinating documentary that provides valuable insight into the rise and fall of the record store industry and subculture which may change the way you think about music, music retail, and the art of collecting music forever.

For superfans of music there is still no better medium than a good old fashion CD. You get the highest quality recording in a format that will last long beyond any hard drive. You also get artwork you can hold in your hand. And if your a real fan of an artist your going to need a poster for your wall, some rock pins to wear on your clothes, some stickers for your car and a high def video to play at your house parties. And if you want the maximum buying "rush" put on your going out clothes and head to a real record store. Humans were once hunter gatherer's and hunting for new, unique, rare records is second nature to us. It feels good, much better than clicking buy now at Amazon.com
If you follow my music career you know I am on a label called Out of Line. They are one of the big EBM and Alternative/goth labels today. They run a good business, make money and promote their artists nicely. Some of the other artists on Out of Line include Blut Engel, And One, Hocio, and Combichrist. But did you know they also have a record store in Berlin? If your in Germany's Hauptstadt head over and check it out:

What got you into guns?
Well what did? For me my family has a big military history so I guess you could say it was destined to happen. Whenever I was 8 I started playing shooter games like Grand Theft Auto Vice City then I got into Halo and Call of Duty. I was a really big gamer back then I still do play shooter games just not as much anymore same with other games. Then the whole zombie apocalypse thing sucked me up and in October 2011 I decided that the next time my Grandpa went to the range I wanted to go. Let me tell you the first time I shot a gun I was shaking once I touched it, but after shooting for an hour or 2 I started liking it. I then decided I wanted a gun for Christmas so in December my Grandpa took me to a gun store and I got my first 10/22 then in February I got my 20 gauge and that is all how it began.
Between old westerns on TV and my good friends and their relatives , while growing up , I'd say influence of those two is what got my interests..!
I've always been competitive so it was just a natural thing..! Shoot on..!
I moved from Marxachusetts to Dixie...(NC) 20 years ago...that's all she wrote...:D
Hell, when you come to the South, you're ISSUED a shotgun, a pickup truck and a free plate of barbecue...;)
My grandfather started teaching me how to shoot when I was four years old. I grew up around guns and have been hunting and shooting for over 50 years now. Still love it.
My very best friend growing up got a Remington Wingmaster for his 14th birthday. I needed a gun so we could go hunting together on his family farm.
I saved up my $$ and on my 15th birthday, my mother took me out and I bought a brand new Winchester 1200, for $105.00(probably considered a straw purchase today). My mom kicked in a box of #6 shotshells for my birthday. You can tell by the price it weren't yesterday!
The rest is history!!
I started liking firearms and military when I was about 7 years old. Now I'm older, and I learn more every day. It's a ever changing "art".
Grew up around guns can't even remember the first time I shot my dads guns. I've been buying and collecting guns ever since I got my first job
them dang zombies!!!
My friend took me skeet shooting. Been hooked ever scince. Should have used hearing protection though.

Crocodiles In The Kimberley
How To Be Crocodile Safe In The Kimberleys
The Western Australia Kimberley is crocodile country, you probably know that already.
I don't want you to get eaten by a crocodile on your Kimberley holidays, so please don't do anything stupid while you're here.
(I'll tell you in a minute what that would be...)
By the way, not all Kimberley crocodiles are dangerous. We have two different species of crocodiles in the Kimberley, freshwater crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles. All the warnings below concern saltwater crocodiles.
Saltwater crocodiles are the largest reptiles in the world (in terms of weight). They can grow to over 6 metres and their jaws can exert a pressure of several tons. They are huge, territorial and aggressive, and they are plentiful across the Kimberley.
Some important facts:
- The name saltwater crocodiles is misleading. Salties live just as happily in freshwater many hundred kilometres inland...
- Saltwater crocodiles have been a protected species since the 1970s. Since then their numbers have been growing and growing.
- Salties are very territorial creatures. Every grown male crocodile needs its own territory.
Can you see what I'm getting at? Put all the above facts together, add that the number of Kimberley tourists and residents is growing as well, and you can see how the potential for conflict is increasing. So please, be Kimberley crocodile safe and observe the following rules.
Be Crocodile Safe In The Kimberley
- First of all: always, always observe crocodile warning signs!
Don't assume it's safe to swim if there is no sign! Crocodiles attack out of deep, still or muddy waters, where they can't be seen. Always stay well away from those.
Small creeks, waterfalls, rock pools etc. are usually fine. All the well known gorges and waterfalls along the Gibb River Road are safe.
But if you venture off the beaten track, especially if it's near the coast or the big tidal rivers, stay out of the water unless you know for sure it's safe. Ask first! Either the locals or the next Kimberley tourist information centre.
Having said that, there are plenty of places in the Kimberley that are crocodile free and safe for swimming. (Just have a look at all the gorges and waterfalls...)
I don't want you to get the impression that the crocodiles own all the water up here. But if you don't know an area it is very important to find out first where swimming is safe and where it isn't.
What to do if you know or suspect that
there are saltwater crocodiles
You don't need to avoid areas just because crocodiles live there. You just need to act sensibly around crocodile infested waters.
- Stay away from the water's edge. Never stand on logs or similar overhanging the water. Saltwater crocodiles can jump. Also, never turn your back, always face the water.
- If you see a crocodile sliding mark (a crocodile sliding into the water from a river bank will leave a characteristic mark), stay well clear of that area.
- Don't return to exactly the same place at the water every day, or on a regular basis. Or one day a croc will be waiting there for you...
- Don't go near the water at night time.
- Don't feed crocodiles. Also, don't harass or provoke them, don't interfere with them. Even the small ones, leave them alone!
- Avoid places where native animals or cattle drink. That's exactly where a crocodile would be waiting for an opportunity to attack. (Saltwater crocodiles are very conservative with their energy, and therefore opportunists when it comes to hunting. They stalk their prey, hide under water and wait. A crocodile you can see is less dangerous than one you can't see...)
- Saltwater crocodiles are most aggressive during the breeding season, September to May. The warmer weather also makes the cold-blooded animals even faster.
That doesn't mean you can swim with them during the dry season, but it is one more reason why tourists really are very safe. (The other reason is that, as explained above, the places that tourists visit are usually not crocodile habitat in the first place.)
Fishing is very popular in the Kimberley, and any great barramundi fishing spot is guaranteed to be popular with saltwater crocodiles as well!
- Don't clean fish near the water, or discard fish scraps in the water.
- Be careful when launching boats. Avoid going in the water if at all possible.
- Don't dangle your arms or legs over the side of the boat.
I know of two different saltwater crocodiles, one in the lower Ord River, and one in the ocean out of Wyndham, that have become a nuisance because people kept throwing them fish scraps. They are used to being fed...
One of them has attacked a boat and taken a chunk out of the prop.
In another attack in the same area a man was grabbed on the shoulder while leaning over the side of the boat to clean fish. No further comment...
(The other crocodile, the one in the Ord River, features in one of the incidents below...)
Camping near the Kimberley coast or tidal rivers can get you into trouble too...
- Always camp well away from the water. 50 metres is the absolute minimum.
- Don't leave food scraps at your camp site.
- Naturally, be particularly careful at night time...
Here are two more Kimberley crocodile incidents:
The first one happened at the Pentecost River. In 2005 a couple spent one hell of a night when a crocodile marched up to their tent and grabbed and shook it. Terrified they clawed their way out of the back of the tent and spent the rest of the night on the roof of their car, with the spotlights on. With the result that the battery was flat in the morning and they couldn't leave. (They were rescued later.)
A friend of mine, camping at the lower Ord River near Kununurra, thought he was doing the right thing by keeping all the fish scraps in a bucket. He woke up the next morning to find a crocodile had marched through the camp and helped itself to the scraps anyway...
I want to repeat again that this is NOT at all a natural behaviour for crocodiles. These crocodiles had both been trained to connect human camps with food, by all the fishermen who over the course of many years camped there and discarded fish scraps into the water.
Please, when you visit us, and especially when camping or fishing, be Kimberley crocodile safe!

Stoneham Theatre to Present THE UNBLEACHED AMERICAN, 4/10-27
This April, Stoneham Theatre audiences will discover a piece of American history with the World Premiere of Michael Aman's play The Unbleached American.
Directed by Producing Artistic Director Weylin Symes, The Unbleached American tells the story of Ernest Hogan, the "father of ragtime" and the first African American to perform on Broadway. Beloved by his fans and wealthy beyond his wildest dreams, Hogan was also an infamous writer of "coon songs" that many considered offensive to his own race. The Unbleached American imagines the relationship between Ernest and the woman sent to care for him at the end of his life.
"This remarkable play explores a part of our country's history that I knew absolutely nothing about," Symes shared. "I was immediately captivated by the tremendous success and talent of Ernest Hogan as well as the infamy that came to surround him." "For me, Michael's play asks us to think about how future generations may judge our present actions," Symes added, "and how profoundly perceptions can shift in the course of a generation." Symes is thrilled to have Elliot Norton Award-winning actor Johnny Lee Davenport as Hogan.
Davenport has a history with The Unbleached American, as he did a reading of the play in 2008. "I was intrigued by this play because here was a man who was the first Black man to perform on Broadway, the author of a song (All Coons Look Alike to Me) that, in the early 1900's sold over a million copies, and who affected the perception of Black people all over the world, and I had never heard of him," Davenport stated.
Although The Unbleached American is considered a historical piece, Davenport feels there is relevance today. "I think too often we, as a country, justify prejudices that function only to preserve the image that we have created of ourselves," Davenport shared. "There is a truth in the Ernest Hogan story that warrants deeper contemplation. Anything that stimulates thought is timeless and always relevant."
The Unbleached American makes its World Premiere on April 10, 2014 and runs through April 27, 2014. Performances are Thursdays at 7:30pm; Fridays at 8:00pm; Saturdays at 3:00pm and 8:00pm; and Sundays at 2:00pm. There is a post-show talkback on Sunday, April 13, 2014. Tickets are $45 - $50. Senior tickets are $40 - $45.
For more information, or to become a Stoneham Theatre Member, call the Box Office at (781) 279-2200, or visit www.stonehamtheatre.org. Following The Unbleached American, Stoneham Theatre presents the Broadway musical The Secret Garden from May 15, 2014 - June 8, 2014 and a special event, Menopause the Musical starring Kathy St. George from June 12 - June 29, 2014.

text: Ok so this is about 3 years before I wanted to learn anything about him (and honestly I wanted to learn it once he was safely on another team) but Yates showed a few things today. I heard on (nfl network maybe) the radio that Schaub calls the runs at the line. We may have seen the first glimpse of that breakdown too. Not sure. If that's the case then maybe this is all lost anyways. Basically what they said is that when its a run schaub gets to the line and directs which way the run goes. Kind of important if you ask me. That said I'll go on and tell you what I think and why I think we should go with Yates. First, am I the only one that saw him stand in there and deliver a strike? I mean blitz coming up the middle. Right before the half ended. And he threw strikes. Yes its true that he looked tentative at times and didn't make all of the right throws but for my money he made enough. There will be growing pains, I'm sure. Why not let them happen in Atl/Cincy and see what we've got. Lets face it, the ceiling on this team with Favre, Garcia or anyone else is not very high. Second, if this kid can play there isn't much film on him. That actually works to our advantage. On top of that, if there is something to work with there, it will show up. Go ahead, sign Garcia or Clemons or Croyle, but roll with this kid. Now here's why. Franchises like the Browns, they have been waiting for years for a QB like that. Yeah I know, it was two passes. Maybe I'm looking too far. Look. Maybe he doesn't have all of the tools, I can't answer that for sure but if you ask me Manning and Leaf weren't all that different physically. Both were physical specimens with rocket arms. There was though, something that makes Manning Manning and Leaf Cryin' Ryan. The reason that Croyle is at home isn't that he doesn't have the tools. He doesn't have that stand in the pocket in the face of the blitz and deliver a strike. You want to see the difference? Look at the Jags. Gabbert was throwing off of his back foot all day. Even HWWNBN didn't look like that. Yates, he threw the ball sharply and he hung in. He even avoided taking sacks. He was playing with a bunch of guys he doesn't get reps with. You're going to make the playoffs without question. You need to know if Yates will do it because honestly, Garcia, Favre and company, they have had their chance. They are on the decline. The good news for this team is young. Hopefully we can keep the team together, hopefully this isn't a one shot thing. I say play the kid. Sign someone else and if it looks terrible 5 weeks in go get someone else. Mike P.S. I'm not comparing him to Manning. I'm saying that there is a reason, mentally or something that a guy built like Manning (Leaf) is not Manning. That doesn't mean that Yates has all of the tools but he does have a mentality that is probably the reason Croyle is waiting for our call.

Sheila Reid and the Villanova Wildcats are coming home national champions again.
Reid, a junior from New Market,Ont., was the individual champion to lead the top-ranked Wildcats to their second straight NCAA Division I women's cross country championship Monday afternoon in Terre Haute, Ind.
It was Villanova's ninth total overall. The Wildcats captured six consecutive championships from 1989-94 and also won the title in 1998 and 2009.
Reid sprinted past Georgetown's Emily Infeld and Jordan Hasay in the final 200 meters to win the individual title.
Reid edged Infeld by less than three seconds. Reid covered the 6,000-meter course in 20 minutes, 6.9 seconds. Infeld finished in 20:09.2. Hasay was timed in 20:13.0.

via Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spinning Dancer, also known as the silhouette illusion, is a kinetic, bistable optical illusion resembling a pirouetting female dancer. The illusion, created in 2003 by web designer Nobuyuki Kayahara,[1][2] involves the apparent direction of motion of the figure. Some observers initially see the figure as spinning clockwise (viewed from above) and some counterclockwise.
The illusion derives from the lack of visual cues for depth. For instance, as the dancer's arms move from viewer's left to right, it is possible to view her arms passing between her body and the viewer (that is, in the foreground of the picture, in which case she would be circling counter-clockwise on her right foot) and it is also possible to view her arms as passing behind the dancer's body (that is, in the background of the picture, in which case she is seen circling clockwise on her left foot).
When she is facing to the left or to the right, her breasts and ponytail clearly define the direction she is facing, although there is ambiguity in which leg is which. However, as she moves away from facing to the left (or from facing to the right), the dancer can be seen (by different viewers, not by a single individual) facing in either of two directions. At first, these two directions are fairly close to each other (both left, say, but one facing slightly forward, the other facing slightly backward) but they become further and further away from each other until we reach a position where her ponytail and breasts are in line with the viewer (so that neither her breasts nor her ponytail are seen so readily). In this position, she could be facing either away from the viewer or towards the viewer, so that the two positions two different viewers could see are 180 degrees apart.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi Angela,
I am so new to JustAnswer and I would like to know from you how do we know what experts are online? Who are they? Can we send messages to a specifc expert? Is there a list of them?
Thank You
so if my boyfriend of 5 years decides to pat me on the back it doesnt mean that he is disconnecting? I some times wonder what is going on when he pats me on the back when he hugs me. I feel rejected and it bothers me. It makes me think he is creating distance.
This is either me feeding into my fears of abandonment, rejection etc. or can all these fears be true? (that is what goes on in my head)
Hello again, no I do not believe that patting you on the back when he hugs you means he is disconnecting. If he were disconnecting, he would not hug you at all. But since it is triggering your insecurity and feelings of abandonment and rejection, I suggest that you talk with him about how you feel when he pats you on the back during hugs and ask him directly if he is trying to create distance. Right now your mind is full of fear that most likely has no basis in reality; talking with him will put your mind at ease. Let me know if you need anything further, take care, Eleanor

Fast forward a year and some change later and we have the Enhanced Edition releasing, even on consoles. It's a bold move and consoles usually don't see these western RPG isometric style genre on consoles, but did the conversion from PC along with all the other additions come with a price?

A budget, sometimes called a "spending plan," is an outline of anticipated income and expenses that can be used to track actual cash flow and set spending goals. A budget is an important financial tool that can help your teen:
Plan for expenses. Short-term expenses happen in the next month; mid-term expenses occur in between one month and a year; long-term expenses are longer than one year.
- Cut spending. A budget shows you just how much money you're spending on certain things. When you see this, you might have an incentive to cut spending on certain things.
Spend wisely. If your teen is spending more than he or she earns, something will have to change; namely, he or she will have to earn more, spend less, or a combination of the two. If your teen earns more than he or she spends, help him or her determine what to do with the surplus (e.g., save money for a car, make an investment, etc.).
Save for future goals. Help your teen "find" the money to set aside for future expenses. With a budget, you can identify areas of extra spending and reallocate that money towards a future goal.
- Develop lifelong money management skills. It is priceless to learn as a teenager how to save for a goal. For most people, this is not as simple as setting aside a certain chunk of money each paycheck; it usually involves making spending choices, and prioritizing savings over wants.
Creating a Budget
A budget is an outline of income and expenses. In order to create a useful budget, we need to make accurate and realistic projections: how much money is going to come in (in the next X amount of time) versus how much money is going to go out (during that same time period). Typically, expense estimates are based on the past one or two months of spending, so it is a good idea to have your teen record all of his or her expenses - even the tiny ones - for a couple months before sitting down and developing a budget. This will help ensure realistic numbers in the budget.
Your teen can use paper, pencil and a calculator, a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel, free online budgeting software (such as Mint.com) or commercial budgeting software (such as Quicken and Microsoft Money) to create a budget. There are also a number of budgeting apps that may appeal to your tech-savvy and on-the-go teen. The best method is the one that your teen is most enthusiastic about: you want to make the budget process as fun as possible so that your child has the motivation to stick with it over the long term. Keep in mind, too, that as your teen becomes more adept at using budgets, he or she may choose a different method. That's okay; just keep the budgets rolling.
Income and Expense Projections
Your teen's budget should include income projections and expense projections. Income projections should include all sources of income, such as:
- Allowance
- Bonuses
- Gifts
- Interest and dividends
- Non-employee compensation (1099)
- Stipends
- Tips
- Wages
Note: your child can either include after-tax income projections, or before-tax projections with a corresponding expense category to cover taxes.
Budgeting for expenses may be a bit trickier. Some expenses are known - such as the premium for car insurance (or your child's share of this expense); others require your teen to make a best guess based on history (this is where writing down a few months of spending can be helpful). Your child's expense categories will be unique; the important thing is to help your teen set up enough separate categories to be useful (one category called "bills" won't help your child figure out where his or her money is going; be more specific). You may find that these categories may need to be adjusted in the future. Some common expense categories include:
- Car - loan payment, insurance, gas, maintenance, etc.
- Entertainment - movies, music, concerts, etc.
- Food - groceries, snacks, dining out
- Personal - clothes, toiletries, haircuts, etc.
- Rent/mortgage
- Savings
- Sharing - donations to a favorite charity or cause
- Utilities - share of household bills plus cell phone plans
Your child may have a fixed amount of income each month, or it could change throughout the year. For example, many teens are able to work extra hours (or even multiple jobs) during the summer months when school is not in session. Similarly, spending is likely to differ throughout the year (perhaps a down payment on a car?). Creating a budget that addresses each month can deal with the fluctuations in income and expenses that occur throughout the year; your child may create a separate budget for each month, or a new column for each month as part of a master budget.
To create the budget, help your teen write down (or enter, depending on the method chosen for budgeting) all of the income sources and all of the known expenses for needs: the goods and services that he or she must pay for, such as for car insurance and rent (it is a good idea to think of saving as a need). After those expenses have been accounted for, any surplus can be allocated to the remaining wants. The first try at the budget might look like this:
In this example, several months are shown to illustrate how income and expenses differ from month to month (the rest of the year would be added as time passes). Your child may wish to start with an overall estimate for the entire year (known as an annual or yearly budget) or he or she may want to focus only on each upcoming month - or a combination of the two (for example, look first at the "big picture"; then budget by the month for accuracy).
The last row (Income - Expenses; highlighted in yellow) shows if the budget is balanced for each month. Here, we can see that we have spent more than we earned during four of the six months (where numbers are in red), so we will have to revise our discretionary spending categories to balance the budget. Any surplus from one month can be reallocated during that month (for example, by increasing savings for the month), or carried forward to the next, as shown here in this adjusted budget:
Without this budget, the hypothetical teen in this example may have been unable to meet his or her financial obligations one or more times. With limited income, the budget is tight and expenses such as the car loan, insurance and cell phone, which cannot be changed, have to be paid first. Any surplus can then be divided among the other categories, reallocating as necessary until expenses fall within the income constraints.
The first month's budget may be an eye opener for your teen: a budget really enforces the fact that money is in limited supply (for the vast majority of people) and that, as a result, we have to make spending choices. It may be tough for your teen to realize that he or she can only go out to dinner once during February, for example, but it will be a lot harder to not have the money to pay a required bill, such as the car insurance. Planning, however tough it may be at times, helps ensure that money is intentionally - and well - spent.
Inflation is the steady increase in the price of goods and services. It is usually measured in terms of a specific annual percentage, as in the news headline, "Canada annual inflation rate rises to 1.2%, off a 3-year low."
Inflation helps explain why things cost more over time. Historically, inflation has averaged about 3% each year, although there have been time periods where inflation has reached double digits (such as during the 1970s and early 80s). Your child has probably heard the term inflation in the news, but may not understand how it affects prices for the goods and services he or she may purchase.
There are two points to make: One is that inflation can directly affect his or her buying power. Assume your teen earns $50 per week through allowance and odd jobs. If inflation is at 3%, after one year your teen would need $51.50 to be able to purchase the same goods and services that last year's $50 could buy. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has an online calculator (go to www.bls.gov and enter "inflation calculator" in the search box) that might be useful when explaining inflation to your teen. You and your teen can enter a dollar amount and select two years to find out the relative buying power. For example, we can find out that $500 in 1997 has the same buying power as $723.26 in 2013:
|Calculator courtesy www.bls.gov.
The second point is the relation between inflation and salary increases. If your teen has a job, ideally his or her wages will increase more than the rate of inflation. For example, if inflation is 2%, any salary increase should be at least 3% so it's not just keeping pace with inflation (in this case, it really isn't a pay increase at all because he or she will not have increased his or her buying power).
Budgeting should take inflation into consideration: many of the goods and services that your teen is accustomed to purchasing may increase in price next year as a result of inflation. Making sure your child understands this concept can help him or her plan more accurately and avoid going over budget in the future.

Tuesday notesNov 5, 2013 By Steven R. Peck
What snow?
For once this fall, the threatened winter-like snowstorm didn't hit the Wind River Basin. In case you've been traveling in a warmer place and hadn't heard, four snowstorms came our way in the first month of autumn.
The clouds were towering against the mountains to the north and east, but they didn't quite make the leap. The snow is staying away this time around.
Now that it's November, be glad for every sunny, calm day we can get. It's possible for the 11th month to be mild around here, but after that there isn't much chance until spring.
Threatening presence
Steven Ervin is having the book thrown at him, as well he ought to. This is the 55-year-old man accused of posting online threats against law enforcement officers, boasting that he would commit "the crime of the century" and would perpetrate an act of violence that would gain nationwide attention.
The threats apparently were aimed elsewhere, but he chose the Riverton Branch Library as his base of operations, at least temporarily.
Ervin, who was a Ranger employee for one month more than a year ago, didn't carry out the threats, but his words had the same ring to them as those of other people who have gone through with their awful plans.
Over the weekend, a news source with a bit of insight into the case suggested that the suspect, who had been in jail before and who was on parole at the time he made his threats, might simply have wanted to go back on "the inside," and chose this as a way to get himself re-arrested.
True or false, what he did is a serious offense, and there ought to be serious consequences. Carbon County authorities are seeing to it. Sounds as if "the inside" is where he belongs.
Five in the 500
It was a water-treading week for the imaginary $500 we invested in an imaginary Standard & Poors 500 index fund in January and have been following with readers ever since. Such an investment doesn't take any expertise, either to make or to manage. It just goes up or down based on the closing price of the S&P 500 each day. That's simply a fact, not a value judgment.
It's been a very good year for the S&P, last week's dead end notwithstanding. Had you actually put $500 into an S&P 500 index fund Jan. 21, the day we picked to start the exercise, as of Tuesday morning it would have grown to $629.34.
District 25 listeners
Best of luck to the new citizen committee formed by Fremont County School District 25 in Riverton to help communicate the wishes of the community to the district and the rationale of district actions to the community. Communication on a two-way street usually makes things easier.
One specific note from the committee's first meeting a few days ago is encouraging. Superintendent Terry Snyder told the committee that getting a district-owned auditorium built in Riverton still is a high priority for him. There still are going to be many funding and administrative hurdles to clear through the complicated state mechanism that now controls school facilities construction, but it's good for the District 25 public to hear that the top man wants to get this done.
Rams still standing
The high school football season is over for six of the seven teams our county fields. Three teams didn't qualify for the postseason, and the opening round of the playoffs cooked the respective gooses of Riverton, Lander and Shoshoni.
Still standing are the Dubois Rams in the somewhat odd but always entertaining brand of football known as 6-man. The DHS Rams are the defending state champs in this classification, which yields scores in the 60- to 70-point range more often than not for the good teams -- and Dubois most definitely is one of those.
After Riverton almost toppled the top-seeded Gillette Camels in the first round of the Class 4-A state volleyball tournament last week and then won two straight matches before finishing fourth, head coach Adrian McNamee -- who certainly is not one to gush -- said she had a very good feeling about the future of Wolverine volleyball. She ought to. This year's battle-tested team beat the state-champion Natrona Fillies twice during the regular season, and the squad returns almost all of its key players next year. Keep aiming high, girls. You are good enough to win it all in 2014.
Series to Sox
Two weeks ago, our World Series prediction was "the Cardinals in six or seven." The outcome was the Red Sox in six. At least we got the two teams right.
Here's to a good week.
MAIL SUBSCRIBERS: Friday's edition of The Ranger was delivered to the Riverton post office by 3 p.m., in time to meet the postal deadline for next-day mail delivery.

A 34-year-old woman walking to the dry cleaners along the busy sidewalks of Morningside Heights was shot and killed yesterday morning when she tried to keep a man from stealing her purse, the police said.
The woman, Jacqueline Frezza, left her co-op apartment in Morningside Gardens, on Broadway and 123d Street, about 9 A.M., carrying her purse and a canvas bag full of clothes to be cleaned, the police said.
The streets at that hour are bustling with commuters heading for the el station on 125th Street and students walking to the Manhattan School of Music nearby and Columbia University, several blocks away.
But apparently undeterred by the foot traffic, the gunman rode up to Ms. Frezza on a bicycle as she was crossing Broadway near La Salle Street, and grabbed at her purse, the police said. Ms. Frezza responded by jerking her purse back.
There was the sound of a pop, and Ms. Frezza slumped to the ground as her attacker rode away, the police and neighbors said. Ms. Frezza had been shot once in the chest.Continue reading the main story
She died around 9:30 A.M. at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, the police said.
No arrests had been made in the case as of last night.
WCBS-TV news broadcast several seconds of grainy footage shot by a video surveillance camera belonging to a building near the scene of the shooting, showing what police said was the killer riding away on his bicycle.
The police said Ms. Frezza had worked in marketing for Merrill Lynch until a few years ago, when she began free-lancing for several companies.
She was on her way to the Finest Broadway Cleaners at 3151 Broadway when she was killed.
''I heard this clamor and saw a bunch of people run across the street,'' said Petor Vuksanovic, 57, the owner of the cleaners. ''Then I came out and saw her lying in a pool of blood.''
Her purse and canvas bag rested nearby, the police said. Apparently, no money was taken, they said.
Mr. Vuksanovic said he had immediately recognized Ms. Frezza. She had been coming to his shop three to four times a month for the last four years, he said.
His wife, Anna Vuksanovic, 57, who also works in the shop, said, ''I broke into tears because she was such a beautiful person.
''She was so happy, hard-working,'' she added. ''I don't know how anyone could do that to her. I just hope to God that they catch him. I hope they make him pay.''
Mrs. Vuksanovic, like many others who talked of the killing yesterday, said such violence was uncharacteristic of the neighborhood, which includes a mix of private apartment buildings and public housing projects like the General Grant Houses, across the street from the Morningside Gardens co-op building where Ms. Frezza lived.
The Vuksanovics said they sometimes had problems with youths loitering on the steps of the dry cleaners' building, and residents said drug dealing sometimes took place nearby.
But no one interviewed yesterday could recall the shooting of a neighbor or even a robbery in recent years.
''I'm 81 years old and I've always felt quite safe here,'' said Tomoe Aria from her apartment in Morningside Gardens. ''I've never been afraid of young people around here, and besides, we have security guards who look right out on the corner of 123d Street and Broadway.''
Morningside Gardens, a seven-building, 1,000-apartment complex built as city-supervised, middle-income housing, is home mostly to retirees as well a scattering of younger people and students who moved in after the co-op went private in 1994.
William Asai, a 34-year-old musician, said that he had lived in the building his whole life and ''while you might hear about an incident, a woman being shot over a purse sounds very extreme for around here.''
In the dry cleaners, Stephanie Sellars, 22, said the crime had shaken her and she would not mind moving to an apartment closer to Columbia University.
''It just scares me because I'm young, like her,'' said Ms. Sellars, an artists' model who moved from Bergen County, N.J., to Morningside Heights in October. ''This is why I don't ever wear expensive jewelry, and try to walk with a confident air.
''Things have been fine, but on the street I look straight ahead and walk quickly, like I'm on a mission.''
The Police Department said Ms. Frezza's killing was the third in the 26th Precinct so far this year. Three murders were recorded there in 1998 and three in 1997. The precinct is bordered by 110th Street to the south, 155th Street to the north, St. Nicholas Avenue to the east and the Hudson River to the west.
Yesterday, as a Crime Stoppers' van patrolled Broadway and the officers inside asked for tips on a megaphone, the Vuksanovics recalled how they had grown close to Ms. Frezza during her frequent visits. They could tell when she was involved in a serious relationship, said Mrs. Vuksanovic. And when Ms. Frezza's parents visited from their home in Florida in January, ''she brought them over to the cleaners to see us.''
''Her mother was so proud of her,'' said Mrs. Vuksanovic, continuing after a long pause. ''This morning a detective came in with her driver's license. I couldn't stop crying. And I haven't stopped.''Continue reading the main story

The UVU Jungle Marathon is a 120-K/242-K self-sufficient stage race held in primary Amazon Jungle in the state of Para, Brazil. For the first time in 2013, we will offer full marathon distance which will be our 4th stage. For the longer distance, the race is divided into four or six daily stages of different lengths, linking camps on a course that penetrates the deep jungle on logging trails and hunters paths in the forest. As the race is self-sufficient, competitors must carry all their own food and equipment for the week. The organisers provide shelter, medical and safety cover and water. We also offer a 100-K race which will incorporate the first four stages of the race. Runners entering the marathon or the 120-K race will then continue to live the jungle experience before celebrating with the 242-K runners at our finishing party. The stages range from 16-K to 108-K. It is extremely hot and humid and competitors will be faced with difficult ground, in places clambering over roots and crossing streams. The jungle is a hard environment in which to race, and the humidity can be very debilitating. The race will be a taxing and exhilirating challenge- whatever distance you choose

A FILLY by a stallion who failed to attract a single mare last season is poised to continue her unbeaten run when she starts favourite in tomorrow's QTIS 2YO Plate at the Gold Coast.
Going Going Gone made it three from three when she gunned down Patinack Farm's Grey Countess at Eagle Farm a fortnight ago.
Trainer Shane Iverson and jockey Michael Cahill were both taken by the improvement the filly made from her maiden win to her second start, when she romped home by six lengths in good time at Ipswich.
Having franked that form at Warwick Farm, punters are backing her to make it four on end today.
While Going Going Gone has had a fairytale start, her sire The Hammer endured a barren spring last year.
Going Going Gone, who was not offered at sale, is one of only four live foals from his 2010 crop, and he has had only four live foals since.
Going Going Gone's success has already attracted a few bookings for the forthcoming season.
Iverson trains Going Going Gone out of Bahram Stud for owner Greg Wagner, who enjoyed tremendous success two seasons ago with Captain Sonador.
Originally from Charleville, Iverson spent time working with Barry Baldwin before taking up the offer to train for Wagner at Bahram, which now hosts 100 horses in work each morning.
"She's got good enough gate speed to overcome the tricky draw, and what I really liked about her last win was that she was strong at the end," he said.
If she is successful tomorrow, Going Going Gone will have earned $150,000, the bulk of it thanks to the QTIS scheme.
Queensland Thoroughbred Breeders this week released figures showing the revamped scheme was actually returning more to owners and trainers than previously, when pay-up fees are taken into account.
More than $2.8 million has been distributed this season on 302 races.
Cahill had a pre-existing booking for Tip Top Tiger, and had to relinquish the last-start ride on Going Going Gone to Tegan Harrison, but is pleased to be back in the saddle tomorrow.
The jockeys' premiership frontrunner has another excellent book of rides, including Veeten, Boys On Tour, Spirit Of Flatley, Tragedy and Regular.
He thinks the smaller field will suit Boys On Tour tomorrow.
"He just couldn't go with them early last time, and there was no way you could give away that much start under the big weight," Cahill said.
"The smaller field helps this time, and I think he will cope with 1800m now. Hopefully he can stay in touch a bit closer this time."

Figure 1:
Role of the immune system in lean versus obese adipose tissue. In lean adipose tissue, T-helper type 2 (T
2) cells produce anti-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4, 10, and 13 which promote alternatively activated M2 macrophage polarization. M2 polarization is also induced by regulatory T cells (Tregs) and eosinophils via IL-4. M2 macrophages secrete other anti-inflammatory signals such as IL-10 which maintain insulin sensitivity within lean adipose tissue. Conversely, T
1 type cytokines such as interferon (IFN)-
stimulate M1 macrophage polarization in obese adipose tissue. Other immune cells are also increased in obese adipose tissue which contribute to insulin resistance including mast cells, B cells, and immunoglobulins (Igs). CD8(+) T cells promote ATM accumulation and proinflammatory gene expression and are also increased as well. Macrophages are not homogenously distributed throughout obese adipose tissue but rather aggregated around dead adipocytes forming crown-like structures (CLS). M1 macrophages are proinflammatory, secreting cytokines such as TNF-
and IL-1
. Macrophages are bone-marrow-derived myeloid cells hence both M1 and M2 macrophages express the myeloid cell surface markers F4/80 and CD11b. However, only the M1 population expresses the marker CD11c.

NBC took the top three spots in the Nielsen ratings last week, with two episodes of America's Got Talent , followed by pre-season football. But it was all CBS after that among the top ten as the network remained the most-watched network for the 12th time in the 14 weeks of the summer season. (If cable broadcasts were included in the rankings, Disney Channel's The Wizards of Waverly Place would have ranked second with 11.4 million viewers, a tad below the Tuesday edition of America's Got Talent , which recorded 11.5 million viewers and a tad above the Wednesday edition of the talent show, which drew 11.2 million.) For the week, CBS averaged a 4.3 rating and an 8 share (4.91 million viewers); NBC followed with a 4.1/7 (4.72 million); Fox placed third with a 2.9/5 (3.35 million); while ABC trailed with a 2.5/4 (28.60 million). Among the nightly newscasts, NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams continued to lead with 7.86 million viewers; ABC World News With Charles Gibson ranked second with 7.08 million; The CBS Evening News With Katie Couric remained far behind with 5.38 million viewers.
The top ten shows of the week according to Nielsen Research 1. America's Got Talent (Tuesday), NBC, 6.9/11; 2. America's Got Talent (Wednesday 9 00 p.m.), NBC, 6.9/11; 3.

It is handmade from all natural ingredients and works well on sandwiches or alongside cheese. Delivered two to a pack.
Net Wt. 10.5 oz, 295 g.
