She Brings Me Water
An aeclectic look at the nearby worldMaster Adam Karate-Do Movie
Awhile back I posted about Master Adam Nguyen beginning yoga classes here on Knotts Island (read that post here). A couple of months after I began training with him, after he learned that I was a writer with one published novel (read about that here), he began talking about me working with him to write a book about his life, his training, his philosophy…and some fight scenes thrown in for contrast. Later we began shooting video with an eye towards making a movie loosely based on the book. The book is about 80-90% finished, and Master Adam has now signed a contract with Light Age Films to shoot the movie, partly on Knotts Island.
As story consultant for the movie, I get to work with screenwriter Estefania Muniz on the story line. I also get to work Ethan Martin and a host of movie folks that I have yet to meet. The New Year just began, the Year of the Horse, and already my life is galloping into new pastures.
Eat Your Turmeric
I recently wrote of how my year and a half of doing Raja Yoga has made significant changes in my life, not the least of which has been in my physical body. Without making any other changes in my eating habits or my diet I've lost weight, I've gained muscle and become stronger and more flexible, and best of all, the chronic back pain I've had since I was bucked off a horse at age 19 is gone (I am now 53).
For the last several months, though, I have had a pain in my elbow that massage and heat and specific yoga moves could not seem to cure. So one night on the Internet, my husband comes across a growing body of research into the health benefits of turmeric, a spice grown and used around the world for thousands of years. If you've ever had a curry or Indian spiced food, you've probably had turmeric, which sort of tastes like a mild form of cumin. It's very yellow in color and is sometimes used to color (as well as flavor) rice or potatoes.
Greenmedinfo.com, after reviewing thousands of studies of turmeric and its primary component, curcumin, lists these properties and possible health benefits:
- Destroying Multi-Drug Resistant Cancer
- Destroying Cancer Stem Cells (arguably, the root of all cancer)
- Protecting Against Radiation-Induced Damage
- Reducing Unhealthy Levels of Inflammation
- Protecting Against Heavy Metal Toxicity
- Preventing and Reversing Alzheimer's Disease Associated Pathologies
Since the pain in my elbow seemed to be inflammation-related, we decided to use that can of turmeric in the spice cabinet, the one that had been sitting in there, unused, for a very long time. How long? Well, it's one of those little French's tins with its price stamped into the metal on the bottom of the tin: 69 cents for one and a half ounces. I just bought a fresh bottle of the McCormick brand: 2 ounces for almost $5. That's how old.
Anyhow, after doing a little research of my own on how turmeric is used and what kinds of dishes to use it in (besides curry), I began putting it in all kinds of dishes. I make a Mexican omelet about once a week: two eggs beaten with lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder, cumin and oregano, pour into a hot oiled cast-iron skillet till set, add cheddar cheese and salsa on one side of the omelet, flip the other side on top of the filling, serve. There was already cumin in this so I thought, turmeric will work too, and it did, and tasted so good that I began adding it to our scrambled eggs as well.
Next up was an Indian Curry made with okra, tomatoes and peppers, with extra turmeric added, served over rice, flavored and colored with even more turmeric. Add olive oil to a hot cast-iron skillet, saute the okra and peppers, turn down the heat and add chopped tomatoes, simmer it all with curry spice, garlic, and, of course, the turmeric. You can actually make this with all kinds of veggies, like eggplants, zucchini, green beans…add some veg stock for added sauce and pour it over the rice to let the rice soak up all that goodness.
And then this variation of Green Tomato Rice: prepare white rice, I make mine in a rice cooker. As it cooks, saute chopped green tomatoes, onions, peppers and garlic until soft. Season with turmeric, thyme, lemon pepper seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. Combine the rice with the green tomato mix, add bacon bits (I use the fake ones) and some grated cheddar cheese. I usually serve this with steamed greens on the side: collards, kale, wild mustard or spinach.
Within three days of this barrage of turmeric (I even added it to our homemade pumpkin bread), the pain in my elbow was gone. I believe it was the turmeric, but even if that was just coincidence, if the studies prove true, by adding turmeric to our diet, we may be gaining protection from cancer, Alzheimer's, radiation, free radicals, etc. And since it tastes so good and goes so well with so many things, why not add it? I encourage you to do your own research and try out a couple of these recipes while you're at it. Unlike the drugs folks take for aches and pains, there are no side effects to using turmeric in your food, unless it's so good that you eat too much. Then you get the full belly effect.
Madeleines and Memories
November 18. The Anniversary of Marcel Proust's death day in 1922. In Honor of Remembrance of Things Past, here are two madeleine recipes:
2 large eggs
½ cup sugar
5 T. butter, melted & cooled slightly
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 t. baking powder
Grated zest of ½ lemon
¼ t. vanilla extract
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer, whisk or blend the eggs and sugar until frothy. Add the cooled melted butter, blending well. On low speed or with the whisk, add the flour, baking powder, lemon zest and vanilla until blended. Cover the bowl with a towel and set aside to rest for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375*. Butter and flour the madeleine molds. Whisk the batter for a moment to remix, then spoon the batter lightly into the molds, filling them three-quarters full. Bake until the cakes are risen and golden, 10 or 11 minutes. If the madeleines start to brown before the crown has risen, open the oven door slightly and continue to bake until they have risen.
As soon as the madeleines are done, carefully remove them from the tins onto a wire rack. Serve immediately. The madeleines can also be cooled on a rack and stored for several days in an airtight container.
Makes about 15 madeleines (25 minis).
From Paris Boulangerie Patisserie: Recipes from Thirteen Outstanding French Bakeries, page 74
Chocolate Madeleines
2 eggs
½ cup sugar
¼ t. vanilla
pinch salt
6 T. butter, melted & slightly cooled
3/8 cup of flour (the mark just above 1/3)
¼ cup cocoa
- Melt the butter & allow to cool slightly.
- Whisk eggs & sugar until thick & lemon-colored. Add the vanilla & salt.
- Fold in the flour & cocoa, then the melted butter.
- Allow the batter to rest for 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 425*.
- Butter the madeleine pans then spoon in the batter to 3/4ths full.
- Bake the madeleines about 7-9 minutes; immediately turn out of molds onto cooling racks.
"And suddenly the memory returns. The taste was that of the little crumb of madeleine which on Sunday mornings, when I went to say good day to her in her bedroom, my aunt Léonie used to give me, dipping it first in her own cup of real or of lime-flower tea…And as soon as I had recognized the taste of the piece of madeleine soaked in the decoction of lime-blossom which my aunt used to give me, immediately the old grey house upon the street, where her room was, rose up like a stage set…and with the house the town….the streets along which I used to run errands, the country roads we took when it was fine…the whole of Combray and its surroundings, taking shape and solidity, sprang into being, town and gardens alike, from my cup of tea."
(Adapted from Swann's Way, In Search of Lost Time, by Marcel Proust)
Master Adam Nguyen and Raja Yoga
When I was still working at the Post Office on Knotts Island, in early 2011, a man came in and walked up to the counter and requested information on getting his mailing address changed. I nearly fell off my postal perch for two reasons; but before I tell them to you, let me tell you a little about Knotts Island, North Carolina., population at last census approximately 1800-2000. It's a small island, and despite the past years' influx of folks who work in Virginia Beach and Norfolk and Chesapeake, but sleep on the island and therefore need to build houses here to sleep in, the island retains its rural character and its complement of rural "characters". Folks here are overwhelmingly white and Christian, many still fish or crab in the spring and summer and hunt deer and ducks in the fall and winter. Non-whites who show up in the Post Office are usually tourists on their way to the Outer Banks, which is sad because 1) they are lost, and 2) we could use some diversity here.
Which brings me back to my two reasons: First, this man who turns up in the Post Office is dressed like the Ninjas you see in karate movies, or like Mr. Miyagi in the movie The Karate Kid. All in black, with the wide-legged pants, barefoot with sandals and short kimono-style wrap top tied with what looks like the belt you get when you have completed a level of your karate training. And second, he is Asian, and like I said before, on this island, that's pretty unusual. So of course, he must be lost, but no, he has bought a house here, and seventy acres on the bay, and oh, by the way, he's going to be starting yoga classes HERE on the island, and do I want to come? Wait, give me a minute to…YES.
So in May of 2012, I began taking classes in Raja Yoga with Master Adam, every Thursday afternoon at 4pm, here on Knotts Island. Over time, I learned things about Master Adam: he is Vietnamese, he's been doing Raja yoga for 56 years, he also teaches classes at Wareing's Gym in Virginia Beach (he actually began their yoga program there), he has taught yoga to Navy SEALS and to Hollywood film makers…I could go on, but if you want to know more, click here.
Raja (or Royal, or King) yoga is not as well known as some forms of yoga, and it is very different,
"Raja Yoga is very intense; it is rigorous and strenuous, yet it is also very balanced, with invigoration done the right way and a lot of rejuvenation. Done correctly, as taught by a Master, there would be no stress or strain involved or pressure. The Master encourages the student to pace themselves, to do the poses with ease and to slow down or take a break when needed. To stop if you have any doubts or perceive that what you are doing is posing a danger to your body."
"Do all good. Do not do bad. Cleanse your mind, purify your heart. Practice wisdom and compassion. This is the Way. "
The words seem easy, but the practice is hard, as is the practice of this intense form of yoga. But for me, at least, it has been worth the effort. I'm more peaceful, more accepting and less judgmental, more able to deal with the vicissitudes of life…and I'm stronger, thinner, and more disciplined. And Knotts Island has a little more diversity.

Dear world:
If you are going to have an opinion about what causes obesity, kindly base that opinion in actual science or STFU.
Seriously. As someone who can go several days at a stretch eating 1500 calories a day and not lose a pound, I call B.S. on the whole gluttonous-fat-people mythological construct. As in, the notion that first a skinny person chooses to eat 15 Big Mac value meals a day, and then that person gets fat.
How many of you have kids? If one of them wasn't growing taller quickly enough for your taste, would you feed them tons of food to make them grow taller?
That's a dumb idea, right? You know it wouldn't work. Well, have you ever noticed that when they are ABOUT to grow taller, they start eating more, and then after they're done with their growth spurt, their eating rate and quantity goes back to normal?
Now what makes you think the exact same thing isn't happening to fat people?
Haven't you ever run across a skinny person who deliberately tried to gain weight and couldn't do it? Ate tons and tons of food every day and didn't gain an ounce? You hated that person, right? Admit it. You did.
Doesn't it ever occur to *anyone* that the reason you see fat people "overeating" is because the fat person's body already decided it wanted to store more fat, so it's nudging the fat person to eat more food toward that purpose?
You don't even see *200-pound* people eating fifteen Big Mac value meals a day. You only see that with 500-1000 pound people, right?
There's a reason for that.
Aren't you even slightly curious what that reason is? Doesn't it ever tug at you to wonder how that whole fat-storage thing works and why some people do more of it than others?
If your answer is "no" or you want to babble out at me, "I KNOW why people get fat--they eat too much and move too little," move along, because nothing I just said sunk through to you and I don't waste my time on hopeless cases.
But if your answer is "yes" and you feel like I just took your mind to places it's never been before, and now you want to learn more? Might I suggest you look up books by Gary Taubes at your local library.
More than a suggestion. More like a demand. The more of us figure out what the heck is going on here, the more of us can be supportive of folks with metabolic problems rather than continuing with the bigotry and the finger-pointing and the shame-inducing.
Because at the end of the day, if people KNEW how to lose weight, we would not have to shame them in order for them to work toward that goal. If you know how to change a tire, no one has to call you a dummy to get you to do it. If you know how to boil water, no one has to call you an idiot in the kitchen before you'll turn on the stove. Likewise, when people know how to fix their metabolic problems, they'll do it, and no one needs to call them fatty-fatty-two-by-four or cast aspersions on their character or eating habits.
All I'm sayin, world. Think about it.

For more essential guy fashion and style tips delivered straight to your inbox, sign up for the Men's Health Style Siren newsletter.
Chapped lips are distracting--and they hurt. With all eyes on your mouth when you speak during an interview, you want hydrated and healthy, not cracked and dry. Luckily, your girlfriend probably already has half a dozen tubes stashed in her purse. Grab one from her, or pick up Jack Black's trusty shea butter lip balm. ($7.50, getjackblack.com)
Flash Drive
You never know when you'll get a call for a last-minute interview. Keep a flash drive, like this leather one from Restoration Hardware, in your bag at all times with an updated copy of your resume on it. That way, you can run to Kinkos and print off a fresh copy in minutes before racing to the meeting. ($24.50, restorationhardware.com)
You don't want to be the candidate that smells, whether that means B.O. or too much cologne. Keep a travel size fragrance handy for a last-minute spritz, but don't overdo it. Less is always more. The key is to look--not to smell--the part. This L'Occitane en Provence option will fit perfectly in any briefcase, and with a softer citrus scent, it won't overwhelm. ($27, loccitane.com)
Keep a comb, like Acca Kappa's Bioceta, in the side pocket of your bag. Combing is the simplest way to look groomed and put together. Coiffed locks combed to the side frame your face and make you appear sophisticated and polished because of the lack of stray hairs--ideal for impressing on an interview. ($16, beauty.com)
While this may be a splurge, a leather document holder looks unbelievably sharp--and a flimsy manila folder is a one-way ticket to the exit sign. Pull out this one from Coach with your resume inside. An item like this shows that you're invested in your career--and will be invested in the company you're interviewing at, too. ($168, coach.com)
Become fashionable at a reasonable price. Find out whether to Splurge or Save On Your New Style.

Jamie Oliver Inspires Pittsburgh To Take On Food Revolution
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — World-renowned chef and founder of the Food Revolution, Jamie Oliver, joined Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and leaders from the Pittsburgh community today to announce plans for Pittsburgh to embrace the Food Revolution. With One Young World – the premier global summit for young leaders in their 20s – also kicking off today in Pittsburgh, Jamie will inspire One Young World delegates and ambassadors as they work with community leaders to start a local Food Revolution. In Pittsburgh, local ambassadors will be tasked with monitoring and reporting on a number of goals for Pittsburgh to become a healthier, food-conscious city over the next year.
To view the multimedia content associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/58385-one-young-world-for-young-leaders/
Recognizing that obesity levels are soaring in America, in part because today's children are growing up overweight and malnourished from a diet of processed foods, the Food Revolution seeks to educate individuals and families about what's in the food they're eating and encourages them to make better choices in their everyday lives. Jamie's ambition is to create a healthier world by prompting community leaders, businesses and schools to work together to promote food education and provide more families with access to great food. Pittsburgh is the first city to commit to a 12-month plan to kick-start a Food Revolution with six leaders stepping up to set and reach goals that will be included in an end-of-year report.
Luke Ravenstahl, Mayor of Pittsburgh, commented:
"While Pittsburgh has made significant progress with our local food movement, there is still work to be done. With Jamie as our inspiration, we are committed to working together to make Pittsburgh a healthier city – from ensuring that more of our schools have access to kitchens for fresh food preparation, to empowering families to make better, real food choices."
Jamie Oliver, founder of the Food Revolution, commented:
"In order for a true food revolution to take place, the entire community has to be involved. I am so proud of Pittsburgh for recognizing this need, and I fully support the Pittsburgh community and local leaders as they make these vital changes."
During a press event, held at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Garden Edible Rooftop in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh, several leaders from the Pittsburgh community shared their goals for the coming year.
- Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, on behalf of the City of Pittsburgh – Throughout 2013, the City will aim to increase the number of farmers markets held within local communities, as well as the programs available to local schools regarding healthy choices and nutrition. The City is committed to creating new bikeways and trails that will connect more area neighborhoods to riverfronts – and get more people excited about exercising. The City will also grow the Mayor's CityFit Wellness at Work initiative for approximately 3,000 city employees, encouraging them to become more physically fit and healthy. In 2012, employees enrolled in the City's Weight Watchers program lost a combined 2,000 pounds. The City is seeking to get more employees involved in this and other health-focused programs.
- Scott Allshouse, President, Mid-Atlantic Region, Whole Foods Market – Whole Foods Market began over 30 years ago with the idea of making organic and healthy foods available to its shoppers. Whole Foods Market has deepened its commitment to our future generations through the Whole Kids Foundation, by assisting in getting more salad bars in schools, helping thousands of children. Last year, the school garden grant program was created, where money is granted to schools to educate kids on gardening through the planting of school gardens – a way to teach children an appreciation for food from seed to plate. In 2013, Whole Foods Market will remain committed to these efforts for our future generations' health and wellness. They will have their chefs visit area schools to teach fun ways to prepare healthy foods, as well as continue to give back to local communities, continue to sell the highest quality natural and organic products available in all of their stores, sell local products in their stores whenever possible, and have a continued evolution and commitment of their health starts here program.
- Brooks Broadhurst, Senior Vice President of Food and Beverage, Eat'n Park Hospitality Group and Campaign Chairperson for fitUnited Pittsburgh – Through its LifeSmiles program, Eat'n Park is helping to provide access to healthy, affordable food and to increase physical activity in an effort to reduce childhood obesity. Eat'n Park is investing $1 million and 20,000 volunteer hours over the next few years to support health and wellness initiatives aimed at families. Eat'n Park is also committed to providing healthier menu choices. Founded in October 2012, the fitUnited program, through the United Way of Allegheny County, will provide caring adults with knowledge and tools to support healthy kids; encourage healthy eating through youth serving organizations; increase the awareness of how to choose and access healthy, affordable foods; and increase physical activity through play, sports and exercise. On October 3, 2012, fitUnited issued a goal to have 100 partners – including businesses, non-profit agencies, health care and food industries, and local and professional sports teams – get on board within 100 days.
- Michael Parkinson, M.D., Senior Medical Director of Health and Productivity, UPMC – In 2013, UPMC will ensure that healthy food options are available in all menus for UPMC employees, patients and visitors. The "Dining Smart" program will be deployed to all facilities and vending machines for 50,000+ employees, and promoted to all employers to improve worksite dining options and vending machine choices. UPMC will also provide healthy nutrition and weight management programs to insured members at no cost.
- Richard V. Piacentini, Executive Director of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and Director of Let's Move Pittsburgh - Let's Move Pittsburgh will challenge Greater Pittsburgh families to sign a pledge aimed at increasing the number of meals they cook and eat together as a family, without the distraction of television and electronics. When participants sign the pledge, they will indicate how many meals they eat together now, and select a goal for the coming year. Let's Move Pittsburgh will stay in touch with participants throughout the year through regular e-communications, and will offer cooking demonstrations and other hands-on activities in collaboration with community organizations. Let's Move Pittsburgh also plans to host an outdoor farm-to-table dinner at Phipps for Food Revolution Day 2013 that features healthy, sustainably produced ingredients from local farms.
- Carol Wooten, Superintendent, Propel Schools – In 2013, Propel Schools will increase its focus on education about healthy food choices and the My Plate Guidelines. The schools will task students with completing a food and activity record for three days at the beginning of the school year, and again at the end. By the end of the school year, at least 80 percent will meet their My Plate goals and by mid-year, 95 percent will understand the guideline. Propel Schools is also pledging to have students complete one hour of physical activity each day at school. Propel Schools will conduct a baseline assessment and activity record at the beginning of the year and will aim for a full hour or more of physical activity by the end of the year for 90 percent of the students.
Pittsburgh's plan to embrace the Food Revolution comes at a time when poor nutrition and childhood obesity remain huge threats for America. New research conducted by YouGov® on behalf of One Young World reveals that 86 percent of young adults are concerned that growing levels of obesity in the United States will lead to future health issues. These concerns are not unwarranted, with recent projections from Trust for America's Health indicating that more than half of all Americans in 39 states will be obese by the year 2030.
Ravenstahl, added:
"While these numbers are scary, it is important to realize that they are just projections – and that means that there is still time to take action. Pittsburgh is proud to be a leader in helping to promote healthier choices."

James Avery news for my fellow Reds prospect watchers
Cincinnati Reds product James Avery of Moose Jaw, Sask., held South Korea to a run on four hits in four innings and after Mike Kusiewicz of Ottawa recorded the final out, the Canadians partied into the wee hours on the eighth floor of their hotel, as players hooted, hollered and contemplated their achievement. Canada's performance in Taiwan has been especially impressive since the players have shown mid-season form at a point in the spring when they are usually just building up for the season's start. Add to the mix severe usage restrictions on most of the team's pitchers and the fact that South Korea and Taiwan players were already in shape before the tournament, and Canada's chances of advancing to the Olympics looked to be no better than a crap shoot.

Billings K.O.A. Turns 50 (Kampgrounds Of America) [VIDEO]
Guess who is turning 50? K.O.A. ( Kampground of America)! I remember back in the 70's camping with my family and the campgrounds were just a piece of land with room for your tent, an ice chest and the family station wagon. Times have changed. Billings K.O.A. is 50 this year!

NFL: Cowboys numb in squeaker over Bengals
The Cowboys bowed their heads, put hands over their hearts, and honored a teammate killed in a car accident during a moment of silence before their game Sunday, their minds never far from the NFL's latest tragedy.
Dan Bailey's 40-yard field goal as time ran out gave Dallas a 20-19 win over the Cincinnati Bengals that provided a few seconds of relief from two days of grief.
"There was a feeling of numbness on the field, but they focused and found a way to win," coach Jason Garrett said. "It's a day that I am never going to forget. However, it's a tragic day for all of us."
The Cowboys learned on their flight to Cincinnati on Saturday that linebacker Jerry Brown had died in a car accident overnight. Defensive lineman Josh Brent — the driver — was charged with intoxication manslaughter in Irving, Texas, for the early morning accident.
Brent was released from jail on $500,000 bond about an hour after Bailey's kick won the game in Cincinnati, leaving the Cowboys with a lot of thoughts racing through their heads.
"The last 24 hours has really been something I've never experienced," quarterback Tony Romo said. "It's something I've never experienced, and I think a lot of guys will tell you that. It's just been a roller coaster of emotions.
"It was a very — and still is — a very difficult thing that this football team is dealing with."
PANTHERS 30, FALCONS 20 (Charlotte, N.C.) — Cam Newton threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns and scored on a 72-yard run. It was his first victory in four tries over his hometown team and he admitted it was a special feeling.
Newton piled up a career-high 116 yards on the ground as the Panthers racked up 475 total yards to avenge an early season loss with a dominating performance against the NFC South champion Falcons.
Carolina (4-9) came in with little to play for except to gain a measure of revenge on Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, whom they felt disrespected them after Atlanta's 30-28 come-from-behind win at the Georgia Dome.

IEngine2 Members
.NET Framework 2.0
Implemented by the engine. It provides an interface to use the extra functionality provided by the JScript engine.
The following tables list the members exposed by the IEngine2 type.
Name | Description | |
Clone | Supposed to create a new identical engine running in a new appdomain, with the same compiled state and named items; however, it was never implemented in JScript. The JScript implementation simply throws NotImplementedException. | |
CompileEmpty | Triggers compilation of all the state presently in the engine. All references, code items, host items, and resources are run through the compiler. | |
ConnectEvents | Supposed to tell the engine that it can hook up any registered event sources that have events to any global event handlers. It was never implemented in JScript .NET. It does not, however, throw NotImplementedException. | |
DisconnectEvents | Similar to ConnectEvents, it is supposed to tell the engine to unhook event sources from event handlers; however, it was not implemented. | |
GetAssembly | Returns the compiled assembly produced by the compilation step. | |
GetGlobalScope | Returns the global scope object. | |
GetModule | Returns the code module from the compiled assembly. | |
InitVsaEngine | Initializes the VSA engine. Normally, you must set the root moniker and site manually, but this function conveniently does it for you. | |
Interrupt | Calls Thread.Abort on the thread that is running the script code. It should be called on a thread other than the one used to run code; otherwise you abort your own thread. | |
RegisterEventSource | Supposed to give the name of a named item that is then marked as an event source, so that the ConnectEvents method knows which events to hook up; however, it has not been implemented. | |
Restart | Called by the debugger when it needs to reset the engine to a clean state before a new expression evaluation. It resets the added items and the global scope back to their original state. | |
Run | Supposed to allow you to run the compiled code in an appdomain that you choose. It has not been implemented, and instead it throws NotImplementedException. | |
RunEmpty | Runs the compiled code in the current appdomain. |

My son plans to work FT for a year to save for college. How can he invest his $ to get more bang for his buck?
August 26, 2012
My son plans to work FT for a year to save for college. How can he invest his $ to get more bang for his buck?
My son is a bit of a late bloomer and put off making a decision about college. Now that all his friends are heading off to school and after spending a summer working in a warehouse, he has begun to understand the value of a college education. He has decided he would like to work a year and then go away to school next fall.
His take-home pay is around $1000/month. He's also considering picking up a part-time job in the evenings. Any ideas for short-term investing to beef up his savings over the next year? I don't think he'd be averse to some risk, though blackjack is out of the question : )
The way it looks now, I'm afraid that even with saving for a year, his goal might not realistic.

I'm afraid that even with saving for a year, his goal might not realistic.
Can you clarify a little more what his goal is? How much does he want to have saved for next fall? Does he intend to go to a public or private university, continue working through college, apply for financial aid, etc.? All of this will make a difference in terms of what qualifies as realistic.

I am not a financial expert, but I am an amateur investor.
No investment vehicle will give you or him the returns you are hoping for over such a short period. Any one that promises to and looks good will carry an amount of risk equal to the possible returns.
It is not worth the risk
If he or you insists on "investing" over a short period like this, throw the cash in CDs. My advice is just to stick it in the highest-yield savings account you can, I've heard good things about Ally.

I just thought of another idea. I don't have children, so I don't know the specifics, but look into a 529 College Savings account. There are tax benefits for it (again, not sure what they are.) That way he could still feel like he wasn't just putting money in a bank somewhere, it'd go to a specific account with a specific goal, but he wouldn't be risking his college tuition to do it.

says, there's no such thing as high-yield short-term investing. Otherwise we'd all be rich :)
Your son should work hard and live frugally. A good strategy is to give yourself a small "fun" budget and spend it one night a week. Everything else goes straight to savings, and make sure he understands that working for a year won't pay for the next ~4yrs of school - he's going to need to continue working through school.
Also, he needs to research and be practical about where he choose to go to school, and look at *all* the costs (living, moving, books, commuting, fees, phone, internet, computer, etc). Additionally, you get out of school what you put into it - he'll need to work just as hard at school as he does at work. Finally, a college degree is not an automatic job - he need to be doing internships, coops, volunteer work, and networking. He needs to show passion and skill at what he chooses to study.
Has he considered vocational training? Maybe what really interests him doesn't even require a college degree, and he should be pursuing an apprenticeship. Just because all your friends go to college does mean that you need to, or that you're less of a person because you don't.

The best and only way this will work out is for him to "save" by living with you, eating your food, not paying rent, not buying clothes, not eating out more than once a month, not buying gadgets. Set a concrete goal (in writing!) that you both agree on, something like "I will save $1200 per month from my two jobs, and I promise I will never ever touch this money until next year when I write the check for my tuition." And then you help him to stick to it. It will be hard. Your profile doesn't say where you live, but there are many many places in the USA where $12,000 will pay for two or three years of a state college, especially if he continues to live at home. It is how thousands of young (smart) people have gotten their educations without being trapped in the "college loan" scam.

It seems to me that the most efficient use of his time is doing anything (volunteer work, internship, etc.) part-time as well to make himself a more attractive candidate. A degree from a good state school could be twice as valuable as one from one with fewer opportunities, effectively doubling his investment. You won't get that from the stock market.

It's awesome that your son wants to pay for college himself, but he should take some time to talk to the schools he most wants to get into to see what kind of financial aid packages could await him if he were to declare himself as an independent with no income before he starts bulking up his savings. Absolutely all of the money he saves from here on out will belong to the university or college he eventually goes to, and as a recent grad, let me tell you -- that utterly bites.

if he were to declare himself as an independent with no income
You can't actually do this.
I, too, took a year off of college and worked full time. When I decided to go back to school, I assumed I'd be able to file a FAFSA independently of my parents and qualify for a ton of great financial aid options.
Sadly, despite the fact that I was 20 years old, living thousands of miles from my parents, and completely supporting myself on my own income, that's not enough to qualify as "independent" for financial aid purposes.
You typically have to be over 25, in the military, or with dependents of your own to qualify for independent status. Or there have to be seriously extenuating circumstances, like parents living abroad, a serious inability to contribute to your support, etc. You can't just declare yourself independent of your parents. If you could, everyone would do it.

On the face of it, this seems to be a waste of precious time. Unless your son is doing some kind of heavy and hazardous work (Alaskan fisherman?), his earnings will barely cover tuition at a state school. Here in Maryland, in-state tuition is $9000 per year. And that doesn't include room and board, the cost of textbooks, transportation and incidentals, and so on.
Unless your son is a mediocre student with no academic inclination and few realistic prospects, and he is already prepared to attend a cheap regional school while continuing to live at home, his decision is unlikely to make him better off in the end.
Keep in mind that taking a year off to work will allow your son's academic skills to deteriorate, especially in math. His decision may make him a less competitive applicant to many schools. And when he returns to school, he will have a harder time academically.

Use that money to improve his credit rating, because he will most likely have to borrow.

It really does depend on where you live. In Georgia, depending on the state school he chooses, his year of savings could almost completely pay for 4 years of college if he lived at home.
Even if you live in a more expensive state, 2 years of community college (continuing to live at home) could help stretch his earnings further.

This is a great approach and plan, and he can do it. However, there is a problem:
the job
He needs a better, higher paying job. $1000/net = $20K a year gross. I would suggest he get a sales job, a telemarketing-type job. Such a job with moderate success will gross him $30-35K. Such a job allows him to earn more than just the usual hourly rate.
$35K = $2,100/monthly
take home
Now, we are looking at almost $24,000 in savings - a much more noticeable impact towards his college goals.

Sara, it must depend on your state of residence because I declared myself as an independent at 23 in CA with none of the extenuating circumstances you've listed.
It will serve your son well to go to the different financial aid office websites to get a ballpark figure of what he might be in for aid-wise and EFC-wise, ESPECIALLY if he wants to go out of state.

Seconding InsanePenguin's excellent advice.
No one should take risk for short term savings on money they know they are going to need.
He (and you) should be able to fairly accurately figure out whether his goal is realistic or not by creating a budget based on his projected salary and costs, how much he plans to save, and what the costs of school will be - assume the rate of return for his savings will be around whatever the high yield rewards checking account he can get would be (
this site is one of my favorites
that lists the top rates at banks around the country). Once he's got those numbers together then come back to us and we'll be happy to give more feedback!

Sir, do you live on the moon? A telemarketing job, with nothing but a high-school diploma, paying $30K or more? Or, really, anything over $10 an hour? In 2012?

At least for the purposes of the FAFSA, which is the central document used to determine eligibility for federal and other aid,
this is false
and does not vary by state. See page 45 in

I took a year off between high school and college. The amount of money I saved was insignificant - it all got eaten up by the first quarter of school. You simply can't make enough money with a minimum wage job in that amount of time to make a big dent.
I worked on a hiking trail crew for the summer that was Americorps funded. This was good for two reasons:
a) Most of my room/board was covered by the org (I saved money!)
b) I received a $1200 education awards for that amount of time (I made extra money!)
c) I had a great life experience in and of itself, notwithstanding saving cash for college
I would recommend him to find something to do in this year that has some of subset of these qualities. If it's a shitty experience (read: full-time job + part time job in the evenings) he better really be saving a lot of money. But college is so expensive that I don't see this being worth it. He's better off taking this year to have a "good" experience, whatever that means for him.
Also, he needs to start doing his own research and making his own decisions asap, even if he makes bad ones :)

You're going to want to lower your expectations. If there's a job that will pay him enough with only a HS diploma to save up to pay for college...he should just stay there. Those simply don't exist anymore.
At $1,000 a month, even if you put away an insane 80% of it, he'll be left with $8,000. This will cover at most one or one and a half semesters. How much grant aid he gets (Pell grants, institutional aid) will have far more effect on how much debt he will have to take on than the measly savings he can get with a minimum-wage job.
He will
be able to declare himself an independent unless he gets married or you die. The biggest factor will be your assets and income.
If you want to reduce the cost of college the most you can in one year, follow the suggestions
to maximize what you are eligible for under FAFSA. Assets in the
name are not treated in the same way as parental assets are, you want as much in the parent's name as possible.

A savings account will offer less than one percent. With an investment horizon of a year, you're not going to be able to shift that number much. So instead of spending brain power trying to turn what is at most 120 dollars in interest into 130, you're better off learning how to run a tight budgetary ship.
Time management, budgeting, planning. That stuff. Learn how to use calendars and accounting software like Quicken / GNUCash. Build a spreadsheet budget. Get multiple competitive quotes on expensive but necessary things. Build a profile on LinkedIn. Review the BLS occupational outlook publications. Figure out how much he'll need to borrow to graduate, and how much monthly payments will be at 6.8 percent. Get that out of the way and he'll be far more prepared for freshman life.

During World War I, Greek immigrant Louis Pappas served in the Army as a personal chef to General John Pershing. To give the hungry general some extra nutrition, Louis began adding scoops of potato salad to his traditional greek salads. When Louis returned to the United States, he opened up his own restaurant, Louis Pappas Riverside Café, where he would re-create this signature dish using fresh produce from his own ranch in Tarpon Springs.
Today, Louis Pappas's grandson continues his grandfather's old Florida family tradition at Pappas Ranch. There, he and his kitchen serve up a new menu of fresh seafood, poultry, sandwiches, street tacos, hand-cut steaks, and barbecue dishes whose "family flair" has been lauded by Metromix Tampa Bay. They continue to scoop savory housemade potato salad into their internationally renowned Louis Pappas Famous greek salad, tossing it in massive bowls that serve as many as four diners. Bartenders dole out glasses of locally brewed craft beers and wine or mix cocktails and martinis at the full center bar with flat-screen TVs.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Dustin O'Brian says Izakia Davis died Oct. 16 at a hospice where the 17-month-old boy was taken after being transferred from a hospital.
The Daily Times reports that court documents indicate the boy had a skull fracture, fluid on the brain and multiple broken bones. The documents also indicated he needed a ventilator to breath.
The boy's biological father, 23-year-old Angel Arellano, and his fiance, 21-year-old Leilah Hastings, were arrested Sept. 27 on suspicion of child abuse.

Ed-Tech Start-Ups Pitch Venture Capitalists in Business Competition | |
Educause held its first business competition. Leaders of 10 education-technology start-ups had eight minutes each to pitch their business plans in front of an audience, get grilled by a panel of venture capitalists, and then face a popular vote online. The big prize: marketing help from Educause and Google. The grand prize went to a Delaware company called USEED, which helps colleges run unusual fund-raising campaigns that take a page from Kickstarter, the popular crowd-funding site where strangers are asked to vote en masse to support projects. USEED has been around for only a few months, and so far its only client is the University of Delaware, which most of the company's founders attended. At Delaware, several student groups used the service to post information about their projects and a button where users could contribute money. It's an alternative to simply asking alumni to donate to a main college fund that the institution can spend on whatever it wants. http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/ed-tech-start-ups-are-grilled-by-venture-capitalists-in-business-competition/40956 http://www.educause.edu/annual-conference/educause-game-changers-business-competition SOURCE: Chronicle.com |

Warning: Tips for secure mobile holiday shopping
I'm dating myself, but I remember when holiday shopping involved pouring through ads in the Sunday paper, placing actual phone calls from tethered land lines to research product stock and availability, and actually driving places to pick things up. Now, holiday shoppers can do all of that from a smartphone or tablet in a few seconds, but there are some security pitfalls to be aware of.

Hmmm.... aren't flasks kind of obvious? If i am at a concert or sporting even I wouldn't want to be walking around drinking out of a flask... Whatever happened to the good old Vodka in the water bottle trick? Lol.
4 years
No I don't have one, or really needed one but I sure like them! :)
4 years
No, I don't. But that one is darned cute!
4 years
No, I'm not an alcohol drinker. I do however carry my Sigg everywhere. :)
4 years
I wouldn't carry one, only because I associate them with alcoholics. I guess I figure if I'm going out, I'll pay for the liquor that I'm going to drink. Carrying my own just seems cheap/secretive to me.
4 years
I haven't used my flask in quite awhile. But it's great for taking to festivals and such. Another trick I used to do was to fill plastic film containers with rum. They are about the size of a shot, so all we had to do was buy small cokes at the concession stand.

Back in 2005, my sister got married one weekend in June, and my cousin got married the next weekend. I was in both wedding parties. I don't drink much, but I had every intention of carrying a flask with me to both weddings (because as if the two weddings weren't stressful enough, I was also taking a very intense summer grad lit class), but I couldn't do a regular, unspectacular flask, and I never found one interesting enough to spend money (which I didn't have much of) on. And I haven't found myself in a situation where I've wanted to carry one since, though I'm sure that if I'd found one I'd liked, I'd still be using it on the rare occasion.
4 years
Is it wrong if I say I don't love flasks as they just don't hold enough? ;-)
4 years
Umm no.
4 years
I would never use not, nor really have the need to have one, but this one is very cute. I saw a pink jeweled one from Pier ! that was pretty cute as well. It would make a good gift for those who use them.
4 years
Okay, this is in no way meant as an attack or even a snarky comment, but I honestly thought the only people who used flasks were alcoholics/drunken frat boys. I guess it just never occured to me that I would want to carry liquor around with me....if I want a drink I just buy one where I am, and if they don't have alcohol or it is over-priced then I just go without.

The Consequences of China's WTO Accession for Its Neighbors
Our simulations of a global macroeconomic model suggest that China's WTO accession could create significant welfare losses in the ASEAN-4 if foreign direct investment (FDI) is significantly redirected away from these countries toward China, and if the ASEAN-4 countries are unable to implement policies to make up for the slower rate of technological diffusion from the reduced FDI inflow. If the ASEAN-4 do not fall behind technologically, then they will be able to find lucrative niches within the lengthened international manufacturing production chains. The ASEAN-4 must therefore strengthen their abilities to absorb new foreign technologies quickly and to engage in indigenous technical innovations.

We have decided to head for Biarritz, just over the border near Bayonne. A relatively …

... to Geoff that I thought Hendaye was in the opposite direction. Agreeing, we wait for the train to loop back or shunt out and then head towards its, in our minds, proper destination.
It was not to be and an announcement over the speaker system confirms our fears that this was the train to Paris!! Thankfully it stopped at Biarritz, where we got off waited and caught the train to Hendaye which we would and should have caught at St Jean which was running forty five minutes late. ...

PICOS de EUROPA
The area known as the Picos de Europa is the final area for us to explore on our epic journey through Spain. These are jagged fissured mountains in the north of Spain with awesome gorges, alpine meadows and spectacular high level lakes. Take care, warns our host from a previous week, the weather is very unpredictable. We discover that this is no exaggeration as we walk around one of the lakes. ...
Hotel Alcyon is a charming boutique hotel located in the heart of Biarritz. the rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable about the city and its surroundings. Although the hotel has no parking available (typical of most inner city hotels) there is off-street parking available nearby.

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> The U.S.-India Relationship: Strategic Partnership or Complementary Interests?
U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Amit Gupta.
+[India] +[Gupta] +[South Asia] +[Military Strategy] +[military cooperation] +[central asia] +[nuclear] +[weapons of mass destruction] +[Indian] +[Hindi] +[nation-building]
This monograph examines the U.S.-India security relationship and argues that significant differences in their worldviews precludes the development of a strong strategic relationship at present. However, India's continued economic and military growth, as well as its ongoing commitment towards secularism and democracy, makes it a future ally towards establishing strategic stability in Asia and in assisting future nation-building efforts across the globe. In the short run, therefore, the relationship should be based on securing complementary interests: ensuring stability in the Indian Ocean; promoting secularism and democracy across the world; and getting the Indian government to work proactively to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their associated systems.

According to our logs, Fast is fetching 3 times as many pages as Googlebot the past 45 days. At this rate it won't be Fast that has stale results in the near future. If things stay the same, it will be Google that has the stale results if their spidering patterns don't change. To me, it's really not the stale results that are the biggest issue. It's the 404 errors that come from a database that are not kept up to date. If a crawler doesn't check all pages often enough, there are going to be large numbers of removed pages that will be coming up on the first page of results. At one time, that page was very important to the index, but as time goes by, pages are removed from the Internet, but many search engines just keep listing them as there and important. This is the very reason I stopped using AV years ago. [edited by: MarkHutch at 7:25 am (utc) on Aug. 22, 2003]
