Many of us are interested in using herbal or dietary supplements to enhance health or even fight cancer. There is a huge industry supporting such products, and it is really hard to tell what is legitimately useful and what is a scam. It is pretty clear to me, for example, that the hype around shark cartilage ("sharks don't get cancer") is ridiculous, but might it be helpful to take extra doses of Vit D? Part of the trouble is that there has not been careful testing of most products, and the NCI has just started to run clinical trials on a few. The results of those first trials have not been so good for the supplements as their value was not proven (e.g. St John's Wort was not a helpful treatment for depression.) It is really important to tell your doctor what you are considering or taking, especially during the months of active treatment. The biggest worry is that an herb might interfere with the drugs of chemotherapy or radiation (for example, people are asked to discontinue any vitamins, especially antioxidants, other than a basic multi vitamin during radiation therapy). Once treatment is done, there is a lot more flexibility, but still worth a careful conversation.
This is a report from ASCO's Cancer Net that reminds us that natural may not necessarily mean safe, let alone beneficial. Be a thoughtful and informed consumer. Remember hemlock!
People living with cancer may consider taking dietary and herbal supplements as a way to boost health, improve nutrition, or reduce treatment side effects. It's important to discuss the possible benefits and risks of specific supplements with your doctor before taking them. There are different types of supplements:
Dietary supplements have one or more dietary ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, enzymes, amino acids, hormones and more. These can be purchased without a prescription in pharmacies, grocery stores, health food stores and over the Internet. They come in many forms, such as pills, capsules, tablets, liquids, creams or powders.
Herbal supplements and botanicals are products that contain plants or ingredients from plants. These too come in several forms, such as tablets, capsules, powders, liquids and tea bags.Supplements as complementary and alternative medicine
Supplements are considered part of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), a diverse group of treatments, techniques, and products that are not considered conventional medicine, such as those that have been scientifically tested, found to be safe and effective, and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Supplements can be used in addition to conventional medicine or in place of conventional therapy. Learn more about CAM.
For example, if someone takes ginger to help reduce nausea during chemotherapy, it is considered a complementary therapy. Some supplements can be safely used with a doctor's guidance to manage side effects of conventional treatment or to improve a patient's physical or emotional well-being.
However, if someone takes ginger in an effort to cure the cancer instead of undergoing chemotherapy, it is considered an alternative therapy. Despite promotional claims, there is no dietary or herbal supplement that cures or treats cancer. Many supplements interfere with cancer treatment and can be harmful to your health.

Cute shoes but be warned, they run small. They just arrived and they don't seem like they would be that comfortable but could be because they are really too small. Not sure if I will exchange them for a larger size or just return them

Can't find your size? Special Order
Rooted in the legacy of British Cool and liberated by the free spirit of LA, Hudson is a rebel with a cause—a brand that redefines the standard every time. Today Hudson is positioned as a global leader in Premium Denim and the mission remains the same as day one; transcend product and inspire people around the world to live out their passions, push life to its fullest, and challenge themselves to be their very best.
These jeans are great if you are short and curvy, or have large quads. However, mine stretched out at least one full size, maybe even two. Revolve's customer service recommended washing and drying them in a hot dryer to shrink them but when I did so, there was no perceptible change. I love these jeans and plan to buy another pair two sizes smaller so that even when they stretch, they still fit nicely. The denim is soft and velvety, like Paige's used to be. And if they stayed up they would be my "going out" jeans. Instead, I have $200 "fat jeans"! But they are very nice.

Only at the Big E: bacon s'mores, pig racing
Only at the Big E: bacon s'mores, pig racing
Once again the
Reminder Publications
news crew took on its most challenging assignment of the year: Sneak off and tour the Big E. The following is this year's report for our readers.
Glitz and glamour of the circus
By Deb Gardner
I'm a sucker for the circus. I've seen them in all shapes and sizes, from a motley troupe performing in a sawdust-strewn canvas tent behind a shopping center – where the ticket seller was also the strong man in the sideshow (yes, it had one) and a roustabout for the flying act – to the glitzy glamour of a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey extravaganza staged with lighting and special effects in a modern arena. But in all the years I've attended the Big E, I never made it in to the fair's free circus – until this year.
The modest tent and small center ring reminded me of that long-ago shopping center circus; the best thing about that show had been how close the acts actually were to the audience. The same is true in the Big E tent. Though the posted capacity is 1,530, it felt like an intimate performance; the acts were just close enough for you to see the chalk fly off the hands of the four Rinny Family Jugglers as they traded Indian clubs with each other with blazing precision.
As I said, I've seen many a circus, and jugglers, but never before saw two people juggle hip to hip, one using the right hand, the other using the left, as two members of this act did with grace and ease.
That was not the only act to surprise. The Olate Dogs, former America's Got Talent winners, were a delight, providing equal measures of clever tricks and charming antics. I loved their human-dog tumbling stint!
Johnny Rocket – the requisite circus clown act skillfully mixed classic gags with some modern updates, such as a tribute to popular music videos that included a brief, muted parody of Miley Cyrus' much-discussed antics at the MTV Video Music Awards.
I'd also never seen performing camels – their act reminiscent of performing horses – until trainer Ian Gardner Jr. brought out his troupe in this circus. Once again, it was different.
The Sadrak Ariel Straps act seemed a bit stilted, but I saw the circus early in the show's run, so it could have been a case of unfamiliarity with the space. Trio Bilea took the quick-change act to the extreme – the costume change that occurred in a shower of silver glitter was pretty impressive, and I loved that they closed the show with a variation of a circus standard – someone being shot through the air into a net.
In this case it wasn't a man shot out of a cannon, but off a giant crossbow. Brian Miser was the Human Arrow, and he carried off his role with just the right amount of bravado.
The Big E Circus performs three times daily at 1, 4 and 7 p.m. It fills up quickly, so plan to arrive at least an hour before show time (earlier on the weekend) and be prepared to stand in line.
Eating your way through The Big E
By Katelyn Gendron
If you want to tell readers how best to eat their way through the Big E you must have a willing, enthusiastic participant with a seemingly bottomless stomach; and that's what I found in my sister-in-law, Megan Jank, of Swanzey, N.H.
For the second year in a row this Chicago-native has traveled to the fairgrounds in search of tasty treats and she certainly found it! We all hear about the Big Éclairs and the Big E Cream Puffs in the New England Center but Megan, while indulging in those too, was more interested in the lesser-known – and equally delectable – foods.
The first stop was the butter-dipped corn on the cob in the New Hampshire Building along the Avenue of States. Vendors shuck the cob and dip it in melted butter to order so it's as warm and fresh as possible. For less than $10 you can get a few to share with family and friends.
The next stop was in the adjacent Vermont Building for some "cookie love." For $5 you can get three mouth-watering Vermont Cookie Love cookies, which are made moist and fluffy. Our personal favorites were the "Puppy Love" (peanut butter and chocolate chip) and "Forbidden Love" (triple chocolate chip). The other flavors, which included chocolate chip and oatmeal, were equally delicious, too. Visit
for details or to order dough to cook at home.
Continuing along the Avenue of States, Megan stopped for a lobster roll in not one, but two different buildings. The rolls in Massachusetts and Maine are equally yummy for about $5.
What's also a must for Megan – and me as well – which we circled back for multiple times throughout our day, was the fresh raspberries the Massachusetts Building. For $1 or $3 you can experience a small or large cup of locally grown red, yellow and orange raspberries. This is a must for all fruit lovers.
Others who prefer fruit as a dessert shouldn't miss the apple pie a la mode in Massachusetts, either. We never do!
Our next stops were for the fried, peppery fare. Food vendors outside of the Mallary Complex offer, in our opinion, the best fried onions, as well as sausage and peppers. For less than $10 you can split a giant – certainly not for just one person – fried onion as well as a sausage and pepper roll. Be sure to bring your antacids, but it's worth it!
For those who'd rather binge on chocolate or candy, we advise that you opt for traditional cotton candy on the Midway or the maple-flavored version along the Avenue of States. Chocolate lovers can't go wrong with chocolate-covered strawberries on a stick in the New Hampshire Building, either.
Bon appétit!
Our top tips for the fair
By G. Michael Dobbs and Carley Dangona
The large attractions at the Big E are pretty apparent – the circus, the Mardi Gras parade, the Avenue of States, the musical performances and the Midway are among the ones that come to mind.
I also enjoy the all smaller things I encounter throughout the fair. The following are some that some that popped up this year.
Try it!
In the Vermont building, a new exhibitor offered a new taste sensation: bacon s'mores. Vermont Smoke and Cure from Hinesburg, Vt., was offering samples of its tasty meet products and for $4 you could try a standard s'more with a strip of bacon along with the marshmallow and the chocolate. The verdict: not bad! I'm not sure I'm going to replicate the dish at home, though.
Battle of the doughnuts
This year I cooked up a little doughnut war unbeknownst to the Massachusetts and Vermont buildings. Both are offering their version of an apple cider doughnut. I tried both and noticed the Vermont version was denser and lacked any sprinkled sugar. The Massachusetts version, baked by Atkins Farms in Amherst, was lighter and had just a little sugar. The winner? Atkins, by a crumb. Both are fine, but I liked our local take on the fall item much better. The cost is $1 for either version.
Will they work?
Each year, my wife usually administers an oath to me that I will not get any gadgets at the fair. I'm a total sucker for such things and love to hear the pitch. In year's past I've bought the miracle knives – they're still sharp – the vegetable slicer – haven't used it in years – a great handmade wok and the salsa maker – never mastered it.
This year, my spouse forgot to renew my promise and I bought something I've not seen before: a set of Stretch Lids. Made of silicon, the lids come in various sizes and are designed to fit over a variety of sizes of bowls, and boxes to help keep food fresher in the refrigerator and to cut down on purchase of plastic wraps.
I'll let you know how much money we save.
Pig racing
I'm not sure how PETA would view this attraction but a group of piglets quickly run through a course several times a day near the Mallary Complex. I'll readily admit the young porkers appear to have a good time – they clamor at the gate to start the contest and the crowds seemed amused by the idea.
What might have been?
In a somewhat ironic exhibit, those at Hard Rock Casino have brought a traveling collection of rock 'n' roll memorabilia from the company's collection to the Big E – no doubt a foreshadowing if West Springfield had approved the Hard Rock Casino proposal.
The exhibit includes guitars played by rock royalty and clothing and costumes from artist as diverse as Bruce Springsteen, Bono and Elton John.
For me though the coolest item there was a sweater worn by Buddy Holly. Wow!

Childhood revisited
I spent my formative years in Connecticut and found myself awash with childhood memories as I visited the LEGO and PEZ booths in the Connecticut Building. I don't know anyone who didn't spend hours building with LEGO bricks; although, back then they were just plain colored blocks whereas now they are themed sets complete with pirates, ninjas and zombies. And, I don't know anyone that doesn't love PEZ.
"Most visitors stop by the booth out of nostalgia," Michael Lopez, an employee for PEZ, said. He added that it was one of the first candies that people remember from childhood.
Lopez noted at the visitor's center, 35 Prindle Hill Road in Orange, Conn., patrons could view the private PEZ collection of Shawn Peterson and tour the production facilities. For more details, visit
A bastion of oral hygiene
This year I stopped at the Sensodyne exhibit. Admittedly, I just wanted free toothpaste but ended up learning something about my teeth. Let alone that I ended up with four tubes of toothpaste, coupons and a sling back backpack.
After entering your name, address and email, you are given two tubes of toothpaste. Since there was no line, I opted to continue to the consultation part of the exhibit. Once inside the trailer, I entered a private booth where I met with a dental hygienist.
She explained that while I don't have any sensitivity now, some of the foods I eat, although healthy, could lead to acid erosion that will later result in sensitivity. To avoid this, she recommended Sensodyne Pronamel, to re-harden my teeth.
The session took three minutes, if that. At the end of the exit ramp a representative took a brief satisfaction survey – a minute, maybe. Then, I was off, ready to chow down again.
Bring cash
The Big E is not plastic friendly. The majority of the vendors, especially in the state houses, do not take credit or debit cards. There are some vendors that do, but good luck finding them. ATMs pepper the campus, if you're willing to spend the $3 fee.
I was batting a thousand considering I not only forgot cash, but I couldn't remember my pin since I had my rarely used "shopping" card. Thanks to a 10-spot from my editor, I was able to eat a cider donut and get some clam cakes. On the bright side, I saved calories and money.

Health And The Evolution Of Welfare Across Brazilian Municipalities
This paper describes the pattern of reductions in mortality across Brazilian municipalities between 1970 and 2000, and analyzes its causes and consequences. It shows that, as in the international context, the relationship between income and life expectancy has shifted consistently in the recent past. But reductions in mortality within Brazil have been more homogeneously distributed than across countries. We use a compensating differentials approach to estimate the value of the observed reductions in mortality. The results suggest that gains in life expectancy had a welfare value equivalent to 39% of the growth in income per capita, being therefore responsible for 28% of the overall improvement in welfare. We then use a dynamic panel to conduct a preliminary assessment of the potential determinants of these gains. We show that improvements in education, access to water, and sanitation seem to be important determinants of the dimension of changes in life expectancy not correlated with income.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.)

PERU — The old adage "defense wins championships" has been given merit this late in the football season at Peru.
Nick Damiani's rugged defense has pitched three consecutive shutouts and averaged just over a touchdown allowed in 10 games this season.
The Indians (10-0) travel to Shenendehowa High School tonight to take on Section II representative Glens Falls at 7 p.m. in the NYSPHSAA quarterfinal round.
"When our defense is able to control the game and tackle well, we're able to maintain our game plan," Damiani said. "Our players are excited when they're on the opposite side of the football, and they know we have to be solid.
"It's a huge plus to be playing as physical as we have been lately. The key is to get multiple helmets on a kid carrying the football."
Glens Falls (9-1), which picked up its first Section II Class B championship in 19 years with a 21-14 victory against Schalmont, features a balanced offensive attack.
Joe McMahon, a physical 6-foot-2, 200-pound back, has accumulated 740 yards on 94 carries and seven touchdowns on the year. Fullback Mike LaNoir totaled 73 carries for 490 yards and five end-zone appearances. The two bruisers take the ball predominately out of the I-formation.
"We have to be equally prepared for whoever touches the ball out of the backfield," Damiani said. "The offense runs a lot of motion. They may start single back but will switch into the I-formation. McMahon has good breakaway speed, and we need to get as many guys to the football as possible."
While Glens Falls has garnered 1,616 rushing yards as a team, quarterback Cam Girard has tossed 808 yards and 15 touchdowns.
"(Girard) can make plays that will hurt you," Damiani said. "He's comfortable in the pocket and steps up well to deliver the ball downfield. He has great field vision and recognizes the coverage."
Peru's signal-caller, Blake Altizer, has thrown for 1,482 yards and 25 touchdowns during his inaugural varsity campaign.
"He knows he doesn't have to put as much pressure on himself as last week," Damiani said. "He has a lot of weapons, and it doesn't have to be all on him to produce. If I were to grade last week's offense, I'd give it a B. It hasn't been a concern this week in practice, though."
Tim Remillard is the leading rusher (768 yards, 10 touchdowns) on a team that features three backs with more than 350 yards on the ground.
"If you look at one of our sets, we can put kids anywhere and have them feel comfortable," Damiani said. "Our opponents can't really sleep on anybody. We've got guys who can make a big play at any given point in time. (Altizer) understands that."
Glens Falls' defense bottled up Schalmont's Devon Willis, who rushed for over 1,600 yards this season, to 38 yards on his 14 carries before a 67-yard touchdown scamper in the third quarter.
"(Glens Falls) operates a modified 5-3 base," Damiani said. "They're solid up front and have a hard-hitting middle linebacker. They controlled Schalmont defensively (last Saturday)."
Damiani and Peru are looking to become the first Class B team from Section VII to knock off a Section II opponent in the Capital District region since state playoffs began in 1993.
The winner of tonight's contest plays Our Lady of Lourdes or Marlboro Nov. 17 at Dietz Stadium in Kingston.

Kate Bosworth sings Christmas track for Topshop campaign
Topshop has enlisted actress Kate Bosworth to star in a short music video inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer's scene in 'The Fabulous Baker Boys', as part of its first Christmas campaign.
Kate Bosworth: actress sings in music video for Topshop's Christmas campaign
The high-street fashion retailer aims to bring together fashion and beauty for the interactive digital campaign.
The campaign, created in-house, features Bosworth wearing a Topshop dress and shoes, singing 'Winter Wonderland' in a film directed by Michael Polish.
It is also offering viewers the chance to download the track for free. The make-up used in the video will be available to buy from Topshop.com, while the dress and shoes will be available as made to order.
To build intrigue around the campaign, Topshop launched a series of teaser films featuring Bosworth wrapped up and the hashtag #whosthatgirl.
It also ran a competition with images of Bosworth close to iconic London landmarks with her face obscured. Those who guessed her identity had the chance to win a £500 Topshop shopping spree.
To mark the launch of the video, Bosworth sent personalised digital messages introducing the films to people registered on the Topshop database.
Justin Cooke, chief marketing officer of Topshop, said: "There is still no greater inspiration than our icons. Women have always aspired to look and feel like the stars of silver screen and we wanted to capture that emotion and the magic of Topshop to celebrate the festive season."
Cooke was the creative director behind the campaign.
This is the second major digital campaign Cooke has rolled out for Topshop since he joined from Burberry in June.
Topshop's recent digital catwalk experience for London Fashion Week won it much acclaim.

Palestinian Prisoners' Document
The "Prisoners' Document," officially the National Reconciliation Document, is a document written in 2006 by Palestinian prisoners who were being held in Israeli jails at the time. The five prisoners who took part in writing the Document were affiliated with Fatah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP).
The Prisoners' Document[edit]
The Prisoners' Document consists of 18 points. The document calls for an Israeli withdrawal to the pre-1967 borders and the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, and the implementation of the right of return for Palestinian refugees. The first version of the Document has been interpreted by some as implicitly recognizing Israel's right to exist, as opposed to the Hamas charter of 1988, which calls for Israel's destruction.[citation needed] Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called for a national referendum on the Prisoners' Document on July 26, 2006, if Fatah and Hamas could not reach a negotiated settlement.[1] Initially, Hamas leaders dismissed Abbas' calls for a referendum on the Document as "illegal" and vowed to boycott it.[2] However, Hamas later agreed to negotiate with Fatah on the contents of the Document, and an agreement was reached on June 27, 2006.[3][4] One poll in June 2006 showed that 77% of Palestinians supported the Prisoners' Document,[5] but another poll that month showed that only 47% would vote for it in a referendum.[6] Before Hamas and Fatah reached their agreement, the Hamas and Islamic Jihad prisoners who had helped draft the Document retracted their names and withdrew support from it in protest at Mahmoud Abbas' decision to hold a referendum based on the plan; they stated that Abbas was exploiting the Document for political purposes.[7]
President Abbas sought to use the Prisoners' Document as the basis for final status negotiations with Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert dismissed the Document, however, and described it as "meaningless".[8] Olmert claimed that the Document was out of touch with the internationally recognized conditions, because it calls for the right of return for Palestinian refugees and full Israeli withdrawal from all parts of the West Bank.[citation needed]
Controversy and Ambiguity[edit]
Much of the controversy regarding the Prisoners' Document hinged on whether the Document recognizes Israel. While the Prisoners' Document does not explicitly recognize the right of Israel to exist, it does explicitly embrace the idea of a Palestinian state solely on pre-1967 boundaries. Point #1 states that "The Palestinian people in the homeland and in the Diaspora seek ... to establish their independent state with al-Quds al-Shareef [Jerusalem] as its capital on all territories occupied in 1967".
Hamas has advocated for a Palestinian state within the territories set out for an Arab state by the 1947 UN partitition plan. Thus, the Document was described[by whom?] as a historical renunciation of Hamas' claim to a Palestinian state on all of the historic Mandatory Palestine territory.

Cottonwood Campground-Canyon de Chelly National Monument
[ 6/10 ]
Great location; nice park. No hookups, showers, etc., but clean bathrooms and decent level sites, each with table and BBQ. I don't see how they can offer this facility free of charge but was glad they did. We would return here in the unlikely event we want to revisit Canyon de Chelly (don't get me wrong; it is definitely worth one visit).
Fort Bragg, California
Pomo RV Park & Campground
[ 10/10 ]
I agree with and so will not repeat all the prior comments about this park with one exception: all staff I dealt with were polite and helpful. I want to add that 1) credit cards are not accepted; cash or check only, and 2) Wi-Fi is fine in some sites but poor in others. If Wi-Fi is important to you be sure to so advise the staff when reserving or checking in. I would definitely stay there again.

We will have local high school students participate in building and experiencing the "shanty town lifestyle" for a day by building mock towns out of cardboard boxes. The students will be given a scenario type character and have simulated days where they must look for jobs and housing at different "agencies." Their eligibility will be based on their character.
Once completed the students should have a new view on the hardships people go to in supporting and find housing for their families. Also, we intend to give the students the "can-do" attitude that through nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity, they can make a difference.

Considering the relatively scanty payout, Social Security benefits have become like a bad joke in the retirement world. Still, in the wake of a horrific recession, many retirees have jumped on the bandwagon and filed for benefits as soon as they finished blowing out their 62 birthday candles. As a matter of fact, applications for retirement and disability benefits have skyrocketed since the start of the economic downturn in 2008. And the Social Security Administration doled out more money in 2010 than it collected in payroll taxes.
Of course, the amount of money you receive from Social Security is based on a number of factors, including how much income you earned throughout your working years, the year you were born and the age at which you file for benefits.
Many seniors who assume it's inevitable that they'll receive a measly payout no matter what have gone ahead and claimed their benefits while the getting was good.
But if you play your Social Security cards right, you could end up bringing home a heck of a lot more dough.
Here are five clever tips and tricks for stretching your Social Security dollar as far as possible:
1. Go ahead and procrastinate
Procrastination has earned a bad rap in our society, but when it comes to filing for Social Security, dragging your feet can be a good thing.
As you probably know by now, you can claim Social Security any time between the ages of 62 and 70. The longer you wait, the fatter your monthly check will be.
If you choose to claim Social Security early, your benefits will be reduced by a fraction of a percent for each month before your full retirement age. A "fraction" may not sound like much, but it can add up quickly if you file years before your full retirement age. For example, if you were born in 1955, your full retirement age is 66 years and two months, according to the Social Security Administration. If you file for Social Security at the age of 62, your retirement benefit will be reduced to only 74% of the full retirement age benefit. To add insult to injury, your spouse's benefit will be reduced by 30.83%. Ouch.
In other words, good things come to those who wait. If there's any way you can put off filing for Social Security, whether that means working longer or living off of other retirement funds, you should do it.
2. Wait even longer
It's hard enough to wait until your full retirement age to file for Social Security, so it would be even more challenging to put it off until your 70th birthday. But the reward may be well worth the wait: Those who hold off until 70 to file for Social Security score a bonus amount. For each year you delay claiming from your full retirement age to the age of 70, your benefit amount will rise by an extra 7% to 8%. If your full retirement age is 66, you could earn up to 32% more if you put off filing until 70.
In some scenarios, you could even double your Social Security payments if you wait until your 70th birthday. Cha-ching!
3. Keep on trucking at your job
If you're like many, you may prefer getting a root canal to spending another year working. However, there are countless financial advantages to working longer. Not only will you bring in more income and beef up your nest egg, but you'll also hike your Social Security benefits.
That's because your Social Security payments are calculated by your 35 highest earning years. So if you continue bringing home that higher salary well into your 50s and 60s, you'll essentially nullify some of those low earning years when you were a rookie 20-something. This is precisely why financial experts encourage seniors to continue working for as long as possible.
4. Get married
Husbands and wives have a few extra tricks up their sleeves when it comes to maxing out their Social Security benefits. That's because married folks can choose to receive Social Security benefits based on their own income or they can opt to receive a payout worth 50% of their spouse's benefit. Talk about wedded bliss.
If you're married and really want to make the most of Social Security, some financial experts recommend that the lower earner file for benefits at age 62. Then the main breadwinner can wait until he or she is 70 (or as late as possible) to earn the higher benefit amount. That means you can start that income stream today, but earn even more tomorrow.
5. Correct your early filing slip-up
Let's say you filed for Social Security at the age of 62, and you're kicking yourself for not waiting longer for the higher benefit. No biggie. Believe it or not, you actually have a second chance. You can simply file Social Security Form 521, the "request for withdrawal of application."
By submitting this form, you're essentially coming out of retirement. Of course, there's a catch. You'll have to pay back all the Social Security benefits you've received thus far.
If you can afford to do that, it's well worth the effort and expense. Once you file the form, you can wait and reapply for Social Security when you're older to receive the higher benefit. Voila. It's like that early filing blunder never happened.
While these five tricks can definitely help you boost your Social Security benefits, it's important to evaluate your unique situation before you put any of these strategies in motion. Discuss your options with a financial professional who can help you create a winning Social Security game plan.

Eek!I can't remember exactly when it started, but at around 2 our daughter began to beg us to chase her. She wanted us to pretend to be a dragon or the "Backson" from Winnie the Pooh. A year later she still streaks the house with shrill cries every time my husband and I pretend to be the requested villain du jour, but now she'll mix it up, turning the tables to take on the role of the aggressor, puffing her chest out and saying, "Raaar, I'm T-Rex. Give me some meat."

Which is funny, because we're vegetarians. But what's even more interesting is that she truly seems to want to be scared. And it turns out that's she not the only kid. Psychologist Paul Bloom showed 4 and 5 year olds footage of children reacting to films that were primarily concerned with either happiness, fear or a completely neutral topic, inspiring boredom.

The 4 and 5 year olds preferred watching the faces of kids who were mirroring the events of the happy film. But their second choice was a bit of surprise: They liked watching the horror stricken faces of kids who were watching a scary film rather than the "safe" choice, kids watching a vanilla, neutral movie.

So what's going on here? There's the idea that children are learning about emotionally tricky landscapes and mastering the resulting anxieties by facing them, but Bloom has a more intriguing idea. "Parents automatically assume that children like stories with happy endings, like, The Little Engine That Could. But what about The Little Engine That Tried and Failed? It might be that children would find it perversely satisfying."
It may also be that kids who are playacting fear or are drawn to sinister plotlines in fiction and movies are just building up their database of emotions and figuring out what's a false threat as opposed to a real threat.
Consider what happens when you watch a movie about a deranged madman wielding a chainsaw. Your amygdala, the part of the brain that processes emotion, gets juiced up and sends out a cocktail of energizing hormones. At the same time your prefrontal cortex, the seat of rational thought, is sussing out the danger level. It tells you that what you're watching is just a movie and to settle. All this excitement is processed as reward, as in, "I'm not going to die. It's just a movie. I survived!"
Now the Backson or a fire-breathing dragon is no homicidal maniac, but they do have villain written all over them, and this means they're actually playing a role in cognitive development and what it means to consider and identify a threat.
Think of all the frightening fairytales that children have been read over and over again. There's a good reason dark narratives are so seductive. According to psychologist Keith Oatley, "Stories could indeed be a way of exploring the world without these terrible things that you are reading about actually happening to you ... and If we don't understand the world, then it's less likely that we're going to survive."
