Paying the debts of a relative who recently died might feel like a moral obligation, but whether it's a legal one may not immediately be clear.
Dealing with a loved one's credit card debt has a few twists to it, but in general these debts are not the responsibility of any heirs and require the credit card company to make a claim, according to several lawyers and financial experts.
In short, the debts of the deceased are the responsibility of the estate, and are first deducted from the estate's assets before being distributed based on priority, says Michael Duffy, a lawyer in Philadelphia. However, if there are no assets or the debts exceed the assets, the outstanding debt is "written off" by the creditors, Duffy says.
There are exceptions, but relatives are protected from creditors by the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, or FDCPA. The law has severe penalties for violations, and relatives who are being tracked down by creditors should contact an attorney, he suggests.
"They are already suffering the loss of a relative and they do not need unlawful harassment on top of it," Duffy wrote in an email.
While creditors or collection agencies may call heirs, once they are given the contact information for the person handling the estate (such as a personal representative or executor), the calls to heirs must stop. In addition, lenders or collectors aren't allowed to mislead debtors into thinking they have a legal responsibility for a debt when they don't.
Who is liable
A wife, for example, isn't responsible for the debt if the husband was listed as the only user. But if she was a joint account holder, says Wayne Sanford, a credit expert, she's liable. If the spouse was only an authorized user, however, they are not liable for the debt.
When it comes to spouses, and who owes what, the issue can get confusing in community property states -- where debts incurred after the marriage may be considered community property, even if only one spouse took out the loan. In these cases, it's best to seek guidance from your attorney.
For some people, getting involved in a parent's debt isn't a choice they can avoid. Kryn Westhoven of New Jersey became an authorized user on his mom's credit cards so he could help his mom handle her affairs before she died. The decision ultimately affected a home refinance two years after she died.
The credit card companies acknowledged that Westhoven wasn't liable for his mother's debt, but two still reported him to credit reporting agencies for having unpaid debts. This caused his credit score to drop and left him unable to refinance his home.
Even for relatives who aren't joint account holders or authorized users, they can still be liable if they used the deceased's credit card. Donald A. DeLong, an attorney in Southfield, Mich., says he had a client who wasn't a co-signer on a credit card she learned about -- and used -- after her husband died.
She charged about $5,000 of his funeral expenses to his credit card and the credit card company sued her for the $25,000 owed on the card, taking the position that the spouse was liable for the entire amount of debt, DeLong says. He settled with the creditor for about $4,000, and his client had to deal with litigation for about a year and paid $2,000 in legal fees.
Who gets paid first?
If an estate goes into probate, which is the first step in the legal process of administering the estate of a deceased person, then the court will decide which creditors get paid before any heirs will receive an inheritance, says Jeffrey A. Field, a certified financial planner who practices in California and Utah.
In general, California law requires written "notice" to creditors when probate is opened, giving the creditor four months to make a claim. But credit cards are one of the last items to be paid from an estate, Field says. Other liabilities take priority, such as taxes, mortgages, Medicaid, administration expenses, and funeral expenses.
Field recommends doing a few smart things if a relative dies with credit card debt: Cut up the cards and send them to the issuer with a statement of the date of death, and contact the three credit reporting bureaus -- TransUnion, Equifax and Experian -- informing them of the date of death and to close the credit profile. They should also check if there was insurance for the credit cards that would pay off the amount due at death, he says.
If the deceased has an insurance policy, the proceeds are paid directly to the beneficiaries and not to the estate, says Thomas Simeone, an attorney in Washington, D.C. That can leave the beneficiaries with a sizable amount of money while leaving the credit card bill unpaid.

Overcoming the Emotional Toll of Hearing Loss
Being diagnosed with hearing loss, or learning that your child is hearing-impaired, isn't easy. You may feel a range of emotions, from shock to anger to sadness. Here are tips that can help you face these emotions.
Acknowledge Your Feelings
Most parents don't know much about hearing loss. Learning that your child is hearing-impaired can be shocking, since 9 out of 10 hearing-impaired children are born to parents with normal hearing. Hearing loss that occurs later in life may not be as surprising. But losing your hearing as an adult can still lead to feelings of anxiety, frustration, isolation, and fatigue.
"Parents of children with severe hearing loss typically go through the classic stages of grief," says Anne L. Oyler, AuD, associate director for audiology professional practices at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). These stages include denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and acceptance. Oyler says that it's important to know -- ahead of time -- that you might experience a variety of intense emotions. It's essential to know that what you're feeling is perfectly normal for the situation.
Don't try to hide all your feelings from the people around you. Ask for help when you need it. "When it comes to dealing with severe hearing loss, it really does take a village," says Oyler. For emotional support, turn to your friends, clergy, co-workers, and others who can help.
Be Patient and Teach Others
Adapting to hearing loss doesn't happen overnight. "You may feel you're doing well one day, and then suddenly experience anger all over again," says Oyler. "Many people with serious hearing loss describe the experience as a journey, with many turns along the way. You can't expect to come to terms with something like this all at once."
As the parent or spouse of a hearing-impaired person, you can help by:
- Speaking clearly (Raising your voice can sometimes make it more difficult for people to understand.)
- Facing the person when you speak
- Providing appropriate gestures and facial expressions, and getting rid of distracting ones
- Eliminating background sounds
For the person who is hearing impaired, teaching people around you about your hearing loss -- and how they can better communicate -- can also be beneficial. "Teaching others is a way of getting past denial and anger and accepting the reality of hearing loss," says.
It's also important to be patient and educate extended family and friends. The more they know about you or your child's hearing loss, the more likely they are to help maintain healthy communication.
Be Alert to Signs of Depression
Sometimes the sadness of dealing with hearing loss can turn into depression. Studies suggest that mothers may be at higher risk of depression than fathers when a child is experiencing hearing loss. Be alert to the symptoms of depression, including:
- Feelings of hopelessness
- Lack of pleasure
- Sleep problems
- Fatigue
- Irritability
If you think you or a loved one is experiencing depression, talk to your doctor.

Executive Jail Planning Workgroup roster
On April 26, 2011 the Whatcom County Council approved a resolution establishing a Jail Planning Task Force (JPTF). The JPTF was comprised of local citizens, County Administration, Sheriff's Office and Health Department staff. Their collaboration and hard work resulted in recommendations for tangible "next steps" in the development of the New Jail. Recommendations are borne from the following JPTF statement of need: "Due to inadequate existing conditions of the physical plant, life safety concerns and over-crowding, significant and urgent improvements are needed to current adult correctional facilities, including the physical plant, programming and alternatives to incarceration. These changes are needed in order to provide safe and cost-effective justice solutions for our community."

this disc are very nice thorw
My favorite mold in the world, bar none. Pretty much the ultimate in straight mid ranges.
The first run P-Lines were done with a different top piece than the premium plastic ones or the current P and D-Lines, leading most of them to fly a bit less stable and easier to turn than the current ones. If you're familiar with those, they've changed a bit nowadays. The current blunt nosed D, P, S and C-Lines for the most part start out pretty close to each other in stability.
When new, the D-Lines will fly very straight or hold any angle you put them on, with a small, consistent fade at the end. As you beat them they start to lose that fade, getting straighter and holding the lines better, and if you beat them a bit more, they'll start to develop some turn. This is the best part about the current D-MD2′s: When new they're very straight even on power throws, when they're a bit seasoned they're great straight finesse mids, and when you beat them in enough they make fantastic, controllable understable mids. An absolutely great disc in different stages of wear. You just need an overstable mid to complement it.
The P-Line's roughly similar, but will beat in much slower. Much slower than the old P-Lines also, due to the new blend and blunter nose. These can handle the same duties as the D-Lines, but they stay at any given stability longer.
The C-Lines vary a bit more than the others. Some start out overstable, but I for one don't pay any attention to those: The best, true C-MD2′s are straight and neutral. They start out with a tad more fade than the other MD2′s, but this goes away as you beat them in. A seasoned C-MD2 will hold a hyzer, flat or anhyzer path just as well as a P-MD2. The real magic of these is the very high amount of high speed stability. I can rip these as hard as I want and be confident that they won't turn over for me. I've used them in 30 mph headwinds and they didn't even budge from the line they were on. They're not quite as good as the baselines on finesse throws, but as a neutral power mid, they're simply the best on the market.
I don't have that much experience with the S-Lines, they never really clicked with me. The flight is similar to the domey C-Lines, but they don't do anything better than either my domey P-Lines or flat C-Lines, which means they have no place in my bag. Not bad, especially if you prefer S to C, but not for me.
I have 178 gram MD2 in C-Line plastic as my primary approach disc because of the simple reason that it handles predictably in almost all conditions when throwing a straight or hyzer line. Longer anhyzers tend to straighten a bit too early and monstrous headwinds may flip a straight shot if I get a bit too careless especially when it has been beaten in. I haven't found a better disc when I need to cover about 30-70 meters distance which makes it an ideal disc for shorter drivers in addition to approaches.
I'm currently eagerly waiting for my a S-Line MD2 to arrive since a bit more grip should be handy in autumn. C-Line plastic is a bit too slipery for me in colder & wetter conditions. I favor the harder plastics because I want my discs to last long and to slowly beat them in.
I freaking love this disc.
[...] What Discmania says… [...]
[...] What Discmania says… [...]
[...] What Discmania says… [...]
[...] What Discmania says… [...]
Have several discmania and love all of them with the exception on the fiend. I just haven't been able to figure it out. If I thow it with any power it flies like an anhyzer. Any suggestions?
It's a 172 g do they make them heavier?
In p plastic might try s or c headed to disc store now.
The MD2 Fiend has replaced the Roc as my go-to midrange. I have a couple of C-line in full weight which are slightly overstable, and a couple of S-line that just goes straight…forever. I used to throw Rocs, but had to buy fresh ones once every couple of months, because of wear and tear (I play mainly on wooded courses with lot's of rocks). My S-lines seems to be impervious to wear and tear! I keep waiting for them to start to turn over, but they just keep on flying straight. They can handle power, I can toss them up to 400 feet without them turning on me. Still they are perfect for tunnel shots, they'll fly straight even at distances as short as 200 feet. A really excellent disc! Now, if I can just get my hands on a P-line or D-line and break it in so it will turn over for me, I won't be needing any other midrange discs in my bag!
If you like the Buzzz or the Roc, this disc is a must try. Its my go to mid range for any situation. The C-line will fly straight with mild fade at the end, the S-line is straight all day, P-line is great for anhyzers. I highly recommend this discs to beginners and pros alike.

One of my favorite things to buy at the local Farmer's Market is fresh kettle corn – yum!
A couple of weeks ago we went to the Farmer's Market with our friends Larry and Marsha. Fortunately they like kettle corn too. The Humdinger Kettle Corn booth doesn't just have plain old kettle corn - they have fun flavors like snickerdoodle, honey, maple, as well as cheese and confetti colored popcorn. They even had OSU Beaver (orange and black) and U of O Duck (green and yellow) popcorn in honor of the state schools. No Blue and White BYU popcorn though – wrong state!
After sampling all the different flavors I decided on snickerdoodle and Marsha chose the plain caramel (it was warm and fresh out of the kettle). As we would stick our hand in one bag and then the other we decided that the combination of the two together was too good!
So we dumped both bags into one bag and mixed it together – yum!!
This weekend Marsha and Larry invited us over to play cards with a group of friends so I told her I'd bring a treat. It was the perfect opportunity to experiment with my favorite caramel corn recipe to see if I could recreate that caramel/snickerdoodle popcorn.
I have been making this particular caramel corn recipe for years – I first got it when, as a young mother, I was part of a family home evening group. We would meet together on a monthly basis to create fun lessons, visual aids and treat ideas for our weekly family night- we made copies for each other and shared.
One month my friend Pam shared her family's caramel corn recipe. The fun thing about this recipe is how easy it is – you don't need a candy thermometer or have to worry about it hitting a certain temperature. The whole thing is made in the microwave!
Besides being easy the thing I love about this recipe is that it makes a dry, crunchy caramel corn. I know there is a divided camp on caramel corn, some like it gooey and sticky and some like it dry and crunchy. I'm a dry and crunchy girl!
The other great thing about this recipe is the caramel corn is made in a brown paper bag so clean up is easy too. After you cook it for the set amount of time in the microwave you spread it out on wax paper on the counter to dry.
If you want to try my snickerdoodle version you will want to add your cinnamon sugar into the brown bag when you pull it out of the microwave for the last time – be sure and give it a good couple of shakes to get it distributed evenly. Do it quickly as the caramel sets up quickly and the sugar will not stick to the kernels if it is too dry. Then spread the caramel corn out on the counter-top on wax paper to dry.
I decided to make half of the batch (it makes 16 cups) snickerdoodle and to drizzle the other half with white chocolate! What doesn't taste better with white chocolate.
I actually used some white almond bark I had in my pantry. I melted it in the microwave and then drizzled it over the caramel corn as it set up on the counter. So good!
The popcorn was a HUGE hit at the party and everyone kept asking me where I bought it – not believing that I actually made it! One of our friends even suggested that maybe I should go into business and sell it -don't think so but thanks for the compliment Dave!
Any ideas for other flavor combinations??
- 16 cups popped corn (I used my air popper)
- 1 C brown sugar
- 1/4 C Karo syrup
- 1/2 C butter
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2-1 tsp vanilla
- Cook sugar, syrup and butter in a glass bowl in microwave on high for one minute
- Stir and repeat for a total of five minutes
- Should be hot and bubble
- Add baking soda, vanilla
- Mix until foamy
- Put popped corn into a brown grocery bag
- Pour syrup into bag
- Stir to coat
- Fold bag over
- Place in microwave and microwave for one minute and shake
- Repeat
- Microwave 30 seconds and shake
- Repeat
- (Sprinkle with cinammon sugar if desired and shake again)
- Pour popcorn out to cool on wax paper

I noticed that the search function began working back in July. But I don't think any mention was made of it. Probably because that was the same time that the archive site was further broken beyond usefulness.
I say that because, before July the forumarchive site was very responsive, and even though the images did not display, you could still find old posts fairly quickly.
After July, searching became functional, but every link that you click now is delayed 22 seconds before it loads. Now, while 22 seconds might seem trivial, if you need to click through several links to get to your destination, it quickly becomes very frustrating.
This 22 second delay is consistent throughout the archive site, and I suspect that it was introduced in a faulty attempt to restore the search function.
I really wish the developers would take a look at this problem. I've mentioned it several times on the forum, and so far no one from DAZ has chosen to comment on it.

Eric Young Junior first became a part of the Rockies organization nearly 21 years ago, when Colorado selected his father Eric Young in the November 1992 expansion draft. He watched as his father hit the first Denver MLB home run in MLB history. In 2003, the Rockies took a flyer on him, drafting him out of high school in the 30th round.
Junior took after his father in a few critical ways...work ethic and blazing speed. His defense and hitting never reached his father's level, but the youngster still climbed the ladder onto the MLB scene. After struggling through inconsistency and fielding woes early in his career, Young finally broke out in 2012 in both halves of innings, hitting .316/.377/.448 (110 OPS+, 113 wRC+) and dramatically improving his routes in the outfield. The result was a 1.7 fWAR/1.9 rWAR season in less than 200 plate appearances.
With his improved hitting and defense added to his premier tool (speed), Young was primed to be a critical part of the 2013 Rockies in the outfield. In fact, the Rockies felt confident enough in Young's ability that he was the only reserve outfielder on the Opening Day roster, with Charlie Blackmon, Corey Dickerson and Tyler Colvin in AAA.
Ten weeks later, Eric Young Jr. was designated for assignment.
For the Rockies to reverse course so quickly on a fan favorite and long-time Rockie, something terrible must have happened. Indeed, it did.
Young's defense reversed back to adventurous levels. The BABIP spike he experienced in 2012 disappeared, as was the occasion power he had flashed. In his 2013 time with the Rockies, his ISO was below Reid Brignac and Charlie Culberson.
Worst of all, Young' premier skill had become a liability. His struggles elsewhere on the field seemingly put pressure on him to contribute in the best way he knew how...to run. Young became aggressive, but way too aggressive. In 12 steal attempts, Young was caught four times. It was more than just his suddenly ineffective steal attempts.
Young ran into outs in every way a player can. He was out at third trying to extend a double. He was picked off. He was out trying to reach third on a ground ball to short. By the time the Rockies pulled the plug, Young led MLB in TOOTBLAN, and as a part time player to boot. Young went from a 2-2.5 tool player in 2012 to a zero tool player in 2013, and in ten weeks, Young had racked up -0.9 fWAR and -1.5 rWAR, though WAR was not required to see the outfielder was having a miserable season.
Young was out of options and could not be sent to the minors for a tune-up. In mid-June, Colorado dealt him to the Mets for Collin McHugh, a pitcher who had also recently been designated for assignment.
Grade With Rockies: F
Baseball Reference, Baseball Prospectus and Fangraphs all have slight fluctuations in how they evaluated Young's season, but they all agree it was very poor. (Note: Overall WARmay not equal the sum of the components due to rounding and positional adjustments).
Eric Young Jr - 2013 WAR | Bat | Field | Baserunning | Overall |
Fangraphs | -0.7 | -0.7 | 0 | -0.9 |
B Reference | -0.4 | -1.3 | -0.1 | -1.5 |
B Prospectus | -0.8 | -0.2 | -0.3 | -0.9 |
The Mets
Mark Simon writes for ESPN out of New York, often focusing on the New York Mets. A couple weeks into Young's tenure in New York, Simon tweeted that Young was the "best replacement level player in Mets franchise history." That phrase struck me as particularly apt. At the end of the day, Young generally has not been an overall asset, but in bursts, he can be the most dangerous player on either team. In case Rockies fans had forgotten that, Young reminded them August 6.
As it turned out, Young was neither a replacement level player nor a below replacement level player in New York. The switch out east changed something in the 28-year-old, as his defense, baserunning and offense all improved. Young played 91 games for the Mets, starting 90, and while his OPS of .647 barely increased from his poor Rockies stretch (.641), it represented a 19 point jump in OPS+.
More importantly, Young vastly improved his base thievery, swiping 38 bases in 45 tries that secured him the 2013 stolen base title.
As a Met, Young was worth 0.9 rWAR and 1.7 rWAR.
The outfield is a crowded place on the Rockies depth chart even after Tyler Colvin's implosion and departure in free agency. Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler, Michael Cuddyer, Corey Dickerson and Charlie Blackmon are all set to return. Thus, the Rockies aren't likely to miss their former erratic dynamo. Meanwhile, Young very much remains in the Mets' plans. Whether Young returns as the starting left fielder or settles into the role more suited to his skills on the bench, Young will be back on the field in 2014, likely confounding the fans of opposing fans and Mets fans alike.

Ray J didn't take too kindly to Fabolous talking smack about him on Twitter, so when he saw him out in Las Vegas this weekend ... he clocked him!
Kim K's sex tape partner re-told the tale on Power 105.1 this morning, explaining, "When I seen him, I was with Floyd [Mayweather] and 50 [Cent] and he tried to say, 'Don't touch me.' And I touched that n***a!"
Ray J says he got kicked out of the Palms and detained by police, but according to cops in Vegas ... he was not arrested.
"...when I SEEN him". Boy, get your damn GED, even a 1st grader has better grammar.
I can't believe Ray J got to bang Kim K. The world is such a backwards place and getting worse every day.
African Americans have shed blood, sweat and many tears to arrive at where everyone longs to be. Why is it that you need to speak like an as#hole? You set the perception back 60 years. You and people like you. And the sad part is, as someone else mentioned, your entire family is very well spoken. Why be a poser? Why fall back on language in order to think you're cool. It's not cool. It's what the community has been trying to eradicate for decades. Don't be a fool, you're not a fool.
He is just an uneducated punk talking trash and behaving like a 10 year old "settling the score" on the playground. Grow up, act like an adult, have some dignity.
WHat a complete *****. He's with Mayweather. Who the hell is going to risk that. Raj J, you f'in coward. Trying to look cool in front of your pals. And where did you go to school? Learn to f'in speak a language. Any language. As long as it makes sense, who cares. Man. Your mother is a well spoken woman. So id your father. So is your sister. You, however, need to completely destroy whatever language you're attempting to speak. Why? Probably because you need to adapt to the idiots your walking with. Douche.
I can't believe anyone would want bang Kim K. The world is definitely getting worse Alan. You seem to be more a part of the problem than the solution. @Joao, Ray-J is speaking proper Ebonics, you dip ****! Learn it and you will understand!
Does Ray-J not realize he is an R&B singer? He sings for women. That seems like a fair tweet by Fab
Yeah, he had Mayweather and 50 cent with him, thats like having liquid courage. that loser would have walked the other direction if he was alone....
TMZ got the story wrong! RayJ was talking ish to Fab and Fab was jokingly talking back with him. 50 cent egged on a fight. RayJ got pissed even more and tried to hit Fab. Fab came back and knocked RayJ out with two hits (Kinda like how Mayweather did Ortiz..lol). RayJ fell to the ground unconscious and got hit again by Fab. So RayJ got knocked the F*ck out... not Fab!
Can someone please speak some english in here? I can't understand a dang word as to what is being said-from Ray J's to Fabolous'-
TMZ, please translate
Ray J is a punk! How long will he ride his sister Brandy's multi-platinum recording artist coat tails for???
What the hell was he even talking about here? I can not decipher this tweet. Dumb ass **** is like the ghetto version of The Da Vinci Code! Both of these fools are ignorant ghetto rats!
I think Ray J just got tired of being the "butt" of the joke. He does get clowned a lot. I mean the fact that people refer him as Brandy's brother and not Ray J is disrespectful. Fab was just there to catch it once Ray J blew up. Moral of the story: Don't talk trash about someone on Twitter that you might meet in real life unless you are ready to throw hands. Better yet just stop talking trash.

The Friday Financial and Health Follies (FFHF) are designed to summarize the important financial and health issues of the week.
- Share the humor of the funny
- Make fun of the stupid.
- Highlight and explain new financial and health news-so you don't miss it!
I'm on my way to spend the weekend with my "second daughter". Years ago, we hosted a Rotary International exchange student from Venezuela. After she finished college, she married a local young man in our home and we continue to be close to her and her family.
Her parents are visiting her during the holidays and we look forward to partying with seeing them again. The benefits of that relationship for our family have been so numerous it deserves a post of it's own-I promise to write about it soon.
If you ever have an opportunity to host a student from another country and culture, take advantage!
Let's get started with the
Friday Follies:
A new deity?
The people of Venezuela not only have to deal with a socialist dictator taking control of private business, they now have Chavez showing up in their nativity scenes…. Feliz Navidad indeed!
Pawn Stars meets the European financial crisis!
The Greek government warns the public about illicit pawn shops who are ripping people off who are trading in jewelry for cash. I think I would rather keep the gold, rather than change it into a currency that's in free fall!
Kindle Competition?
Wine maker sells bottles with a short story published on the label….I wonder if Amazon is nervous? Naahhh, they'll probably just buy the company?
Poor taste maybe but worth a jail term?
Father in China buys jail time when arranging a stripper for his son's wedding. It seems the whole village got a peekaboo…
Diamonds are not always a girl's best friend.
Diamond worth 2 grand found in the Salvation Army Kettle! How's that for a way to end your engagement? (yes, my imagination runs wild!)
Saving Money on YOUR Christmas Card
Did the Canadian Prime Minister Photoshop his Holiday Card? Does anyone really care? If he saved himself or the country a few bucks, I'm all for it!
Butter entrepreneurs NOT welcome!
In one more sign that centrally planned economies don't work, Norway is out of butter. (There is only one "legal" butter supplier in Norway)
Personal Finance Reads:
Invest it Wisely writing at Yakezie.com started an interesting discussion about how salary information is much more open and transparent in other societies. Do you want your check amount written on the company bulletin board?
Invest in the Markets is writing a stock picking series. Check out his stuff if you have any interest in investing.
End of year tax planning is the subject at Bucksome Boomer. Yes, take a minute away from your tinsel time to check on your tax situation while you have time to make adjustments. We did.
Khaleef at KNS Financials discusses the controversy over "pay for spray"…I first thought he wrote "pay for spay"- thinking "what does that have to do with firetrucks???" What are your thoughts? Could you watch a house burn, holding the fire hose in your hand without turning it on?
Saving money automatically with a step by step by Jeff at Sustainable Life Blog. Good goal stuff!
How to dump those unwanted Christmas gifts? Money For College Project has three worthwhile tips. Here is a place for transparency. If someone is going to buy you a gift, let them know what you want You can do it by making lists or hints. Beats the heck out of a sweater you'll never wear. (I need to be better at this myself….)
Sam at Financial Samurai tells us why the temporary payroll tax holiday is a mistake. I think any temporary plan is usually a bust as people don't change behaviors for the long term over temporary tax policies. The more Congress tinkers the more people feel insecure. We need a tax overhaul from top to bottom, then leave it alone for a long while.
Don't miss Len Penzo's Aunt Doris series.
Financial Camaraderie at My University Money.

Swinging away is producing more outs as well today. And not advancing the runner. So take your pick. Swinging away had better odds before the bat change.

Too small a sample size. Look playing money ball guarantees nothing. But the numbers say small ball is less effective than money ball. In any given game or season that might not always be true. Its just like blackjack. You might get a 4 on 17 once in a while but the smart players stand.

Moneyball and small ball are similar.................starting with OBP being the most important stat in baseball. The big difference is in moneyball there is little stealing. Small ball less effective?.............except Gus and Augie have won 7 CWS Championship playing it.
What most people miss with small is when you face the best pitching you have to manufacture runs. Teams that can execute small ball can when needed play for the big inning. Augie's best teams were able to do that in Omaha where the wind blows out and a smaller OF. The reverse is not true...................a team that is a free-swinging team or a team that plays for the big inning can't manufacture runs..........ie the 2007 and 2008 teams.

Stop embarrassing yourself already.
The only thing that needs to be executed is the sacrifice bunt from the playbook of Major League managers. It is not always the wrong move, but it is used far too often and in too many situations where swinging away is more likely to produce a positive result. At the front office level, every organization in the game is getting smarter. In some cities, the on-field personnel are utilizing facts and logic to better inform their tactical decisions. But, by and large, most Major League managers are still like Mattingly and Wedge, and they're going to bunt regardless of whether or not it actually helps their team's chances of winning.
We don't live in 1953 anymore. We have access to more and better information than ever before. Teams are spending large amounts of resources to make better decisions to get improvements on the margins that may end up winning them one or two games over the course of the season. And yet, at the end of the day, most of these teams are still entrusting their in-game strategy to people who simply don't understand the basic probabilities of the sport.
But what does Dave Cameron know? If he knew baseball he would be corching for a living.

I think it is you who are embarrassing yourself....................repeating what NL and JK says makes you look foolish. Try having an original thought before clearing your "posts' with the "initial boys" .............try having an original thought/post.......
The key stat in this debate is Augie and Gus 7 CWS Championships and the T-Ball boys participation trophies.

Obstructive sleep apnea is considered a serious medical condition. Complications may include:
Cardiovascular problems. Sudden drops in blood oxygen levels that occur during obstructive sleep apnea increase blood pressure and strain the cardiovascular system.
Many people with obstructive sleep apnea develop high blood pressure (hypertension), which can increase the risk of heart disease.
The more severe the obstructive sleep apnea, the greater the risk of coronary artery disease, heart attack, heart failure and stroke. In a study, men with obstructive sleep apnea appeared to be at risk of heart failure, but women with obstructive sleep apnea didn't appear to have a higher risk of heart failure.
People with obstructive sleep apnea are much more likely to develop abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias).
If there's underlying heart disease, these repeated multiple episodes of low blood oxygen (hypoxia or hypoxemia) could lead to sudden death from a cardiac event.
Daytime fatigue. The repeated awakenings associated with obstructive sleep apnea make normal, restorative sleep impossible. People with obstructive sleep apnea often experience severe daytime drowsiness, fatigue and irritability. They may have difficulty concentrating and find themselves falling asleep at work, while watching TV or even when driving.
Children and young people with obstructive sleep apnea may do poorly in school and commonly have attention or behavior problems.
Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea can improve these symptoms, restoring alertness and improving quality of life.
Complications with medications and surgery. Obstructive sleep apnea also is a concern with certain medications and general anesthesia. These medications, such as sedatives, narcotic analgesics and general anesthesia, relax your upper airway and may worsen your obstructive sleep apnea.
If you have obstructive sleep apnea, you may experience worse breathing problems after major surgery, especially after being sedated and lying on your back.
People with obstructive sleep apnea may be more prone to complications after surgery.
Before you have surgery, tell your doctor if you have obstructive sleep apnea or symptoms related to obstructive sleep apnea. If you have obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, your doctor may test you for obstructive sleep apnea prior to surgery.
People with obstructive sleep apnea may also complain of memory problems, morning headaches, mood swings or feelings of depression, and a need to urinate frequently at night (nocturia).

Be sure to send Lou an email about your idea, he loves suggestions from listeners
I don't know if this is the place to comment or suggest (sorry if it isn't), I would like to hear Lou Mongello interview Bill Burke from Mousejunkies. I love Lou's calm, teacher like approach to his interviews and podcasts. But I also love Burke's class-clown type way of explaining his view WDW.
I would love to hear Lou and Bill discuss their similarites and differences in touring, parks and so forth. I think it would make for an interesting show.

Tim Thomas seemed to do every except score for the Bruins in the second period, fending off 12 Sharks shots in the middle frame without letting one go to the back of his net.
Meanwhile, the Bruins still look clueless and picked up only four more shots on net for a total of nine on the night. The shots on goal heavily favor San Jose 20-9 through 40 minutes.
Less than five minutes into the second period, Tim Thomas was forced to make two creative saves against the Sharks, both which could have very easily been in the back of the net--first on Dan Boyle and a stacked pads save against Martin Havlat just a minute later.
The B's did have an opportunity on the power play, with Justin Braun going to the sin bin for tripping, but could not convert on it. In fact, even that looked anemic.
The Bruins have fewer shots on net than the Maple Leafs had on the Bruins after two periods on Monday.

Soy Milk Recipes
How To Make Soymilk
Once in a while, I get into these "I-want-to-eat-freshly-made-food" moods. I've baked my own croissants and Vietnamese baguettes for my upcoming cookbook, "Banh Mi: 75 Authentic and Delicious Vietnamese Sandwich Recipes", which by the way is already available for pre-order. In the past few months, I've also made pasta, ravioli, wonton dough and of course there's my usual ritual of making fruit preserves.
I realized I haven't made soymilk at home in a long time. This weekend, I got the girls involved and we made our own. The process is ultra easy even though it's labor intensive. But the result is well worth it. The amber color is slightly darker than the one you get at the store and the velvety, almost buttery texture is very satisfying. We made many gallons of freshly made soymilk and used much of it in other dishes. I'll share those recipes soon.

Sinh To Mit Recipe (Vietnamese Jackfruit Smoothie)
Sinh tố trái cây are popular Vietnamese snack drinks. The phrase literally translates to "fruit vitamins", but you know them better as smoothies.
This particular smoothie is flavored with jackfruit (mít in Vietnamese). The secret ingredient though is the mung beans (đậu xanh), which provide a creamy and consistent texture. The fresh ripe fruit gives a natural sweetness to the smoothie, which is enhanced by the addition of condensed milk and ice cream.
Note: Glossary of relevant Vietnamese cooking terms.
Sinh tố = vitamins
Trái cây = fruit
Đậu xanh = green lentils
Mít = jackfruit
Full Recipe...
Papaya Smoothie Recipe (Sinh To Du Du)
Sinh tố đu đủ literally translates in Vietnamese to papaya (đu đủ) vitamin (sinh tố). I've made sinh tố bơ in the past with creamy avocado, but I got my hands on a beautiful papaya, so I made this version instead. You can also make many variations of the Vietnamese drink such as jackfruit, durian or mango depending on what you have on hand. The usual sweetener is sweetened condensed milk. You can blend the fruit with either yogurt, soy milk, regular cow's milk, coconut milk or coconut water.
I love wandering through ethnic markets. They're a great place to find interesting ingredients to develop new recipes. This weekend, my husband Lulu and I went to Mi Pueblo supermarket in East Palo Alto after a trip to the nearby Home Depot. Along with the beautifully ripe papaya, which reminded us of our last trip to Cancun, I found nopales (cactus), exotic banana varieties and the best horchata I've had in a long time. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I'm definitely going back for more great Mexican ingredients.

Pumpkin Protein Drink Recipe
I think if he could, my husband would drink pumpkin pie. He already inhales it every Thanksgiving! So this pumpkin protein drink is about as close as it gets to making his dreams come true. It's an ultra easy breakfast to make when you're on the go, and it'll get you in the mood for the soon-to-be holiday season.
The drink is packed with vitamins, protein (I added soy protein) and calcium, making it markedly healthier than the real deal, and perfect for vegetarians like my husband Lulu.
Full Recipe...
Blueberry Yogurt
We've been trying to eat healthier, so I've started serving blueberry yogurt to Lulu as a late night snack instead of one of my decadent desserts. Blueberries are delicious and packed with antioxidants. Many studies have concluded that a diet high in antioxidant foods prevents heart disease, cancer and reduces blood pressure. I typically serve the yogurt with unsweetened green tea (another antioxidant) mixed with vanilla soy milk.
