Update on DS14
In April my 14 year old son came to me and said, I want to do the eating plan you and Dad follow. For those that don't know, my DH and I started JUDDD on 04/18/12. DH lost overall 35 pounds and I am down 20 pounds. What we all decided on for DS14 is 2000c up days and 1000c dd's. I didn't want his dd's to be too low. He is still growing and I wanted him to be able to function and not feel horrible deprived. He and I both thought this plan was something he could follow. He hit the ground running and hasn't looked back. As of Saturday, he is officially in ONEderland! He doesn't know his exact starting weight as he didn't want to weigh. I know at a DR visit earlier this year he was 230 pounds. Saturday he was 198.2! HE was so excited. We made a HUGE deal out of it and all bragged about his progress. Just a week ago, he and I had discussed goal weight. He really had no idea what was a good weight. Originally his only goal was under 200. We had a long discussion and I think, for now, he has decided on 185. He is a tall stocky kid. THrough this he has also shot up at least 3 inches. I think right now he is 5'10" or 5'11". He has passed me up and is quickly gaining on DH. I am sure he will be well over my DH's height of 6'.
DS14 doesn't exercise. He does walk the dog most afternoons and on work days (2 days a week) he rides his bike to work and home. THat is only 3.5 miles total there and back. A huge milestone for him was this weekend. He went to a friends birthday party / sleepover. His friend lives at an apartment and it has a pool. Part of the planned activities Saturday and Sunday were swimming. He hasn't gone swimming in years because he was embarrassed about his size. Well, he SWAM both days! :jumpjoy: That is huge for him!
I believe he hopes to be at 185 by the start of school. He will be a freshman in high school in August. In 7th and 8th grade the bullying for him was awful. For whatever reason in middle school for each grade there are only 2 gym classes. So in his P.E. class there was over 60 guys. STUPID!!! He was made fun of a lot. In August 2012, he hyperextended his knee in PE and his CRAPTASTIC teacher didn't even believe he was injured , stating, you don't move enough to get hurt! Well, ER visit, MRI and such, he had injured himself. His teacher called me himself and apologized. You know, the JOCK mentality isn't just something the kids have. I pray that high school will go better for him. For starters, he only has to take 1 semester of PE and he had his choice of activities to pick. With the help of his advisor, I found a class that was really small.
Anyway, I wanted to share that JUDDD's benefits are not only for adults and the plan (as most here know) is easily tweeked to meet the needs of each person wanting to try it. I don't have a ton of pictures of him as he is still just learning to be OK with his image. The 2 below show it perfectly in his face. I will try to get him to let me take a body picture of him tonight.
I'll call this one DURING! It was taken 10 days ago and he is down 5 pounds from this date. His face alone shows the dramatic changes. Last week was VBS at our church and he volunteered with the games leader. On the last day they had a huge powerpoint of pictures taken all week. One shot came up and it was him and the kids. I said to him, there you are! He said, no, that wasn't me. I told him, YES it was. He said, I had no idea I was getting that small! PICTURES tell it all! I looked and he had a tear in his eye! :heart: It has not been easy, but JUDDD has allowed him to fudge in situations where LIFE HAPPENS. Like this weekend at the party!
I'll stop bragging, I just wanted everyone to know....JUDDD works in many different ways for people of many different ages!
That brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful. I'm proud of your son also!! What an accomplishment for him. The teen years are hard enough without being teased for weight. I pray that his high school years will go smoother for him. Thank you "proud mom" for sharing this story! :heart:
What a handsome young man! I'm so proud of him, and of you for leading the way without pushing, and for thinking about the fact that he's still growing. So often, the negative body image comes from home, and I know without a doubt that it's just not the case here.
Give him high fives from the BUDDDs! :sing:
Oh, wow! What a change... I envy him having your support. Way to go, all of you!!!
What a good-looking, pleasant-looking young man he is. :)
He's persevered through this and it says so much about his self-discipline at that age and bodes nothing but good for him as he gets older.
Well done to you all for living this WOE so well. :)
Tears in my eyes too! How marvellous for him, and doing it without being 'manic' about weight loss is brilliant!
That is so touching!:cry:(happy tears) I'm so glad your DS is having all this success. JUDDD is a life-changer for so many of us, and it's wonderful your entire family has been able to benefit!!!:clap::up::love:
Wow! What a moving story! Thanks so much for sharing!
What a wonderful story! So, happy for him and you, thank you for sharing this. I
have no doubt your DS will meet his goal and then, much more importantly, have the tools he needs to know how to keep it off for life! What a great gift to give to your son.
(Not to bring the mood down here, but sheesh on that teacher. Why do these jerks keep getting away with this stuff in 2013, esp with all the bullying awareness now. I am really disgusted by that)
Monica, I'm just sitting here remembering your decision-making about what his down day calories should be. You and dh have been such conscientious parents through this and guided so well by example.
Thank you so much for allowing us to be a small part and also for posting such great photos. Handsome young man. Great smile.
Congratulations to all three of you on your great family health and mutual support.
zipp! I am over the moon elated for your sweet boy!!! What a fantastic accomplishment and how AMAZING to have this plan so early in one's life!!! It is a HUGE GIFT!! He could spend his entire life at a healthy weight and not have the misery so much of us have had to go through of trying to just find something, anything, that stops the weight games. I'm <almost! lol!> speechless at the thought of this. Wow.
Thank you for sharing his journey with us! I often think about him and pray he's doing well. My DS2 is also 14 and going in to his freshman year. 2 of his best friends are significantly overweight. It breaks my heart. I wish I knew their folks a bit better so I could share more of MY journey and what has worked for me (and maybe even your son's journey!). I will keep my eyes open for this possibility as I watch them grow through high school. This is a huge thing for your DS! He'll have a brand new self for high school and the most important thing there is his self esteem is soaring now! WOOOHOOOO, WTG momma bear & handsome DS!!!!! :heart:
ETA: don't get me started on poor teachers. I had similar experiences to your DS' with a gym teacher throughout my elementary school years. I can't imagine what it took for you to hold back in dealing with that idiot!!!!
Thank you so much to all for your wonderful comments! We are all so happy for DS14 and I pray he does now have the TOOLS to avoid this again in life. One thing we stress more than anything is, SO WHAT if you have a bad DD or even an UUAD, jump right back into rotations the following day. LIFE HAPPENS! It is NOT an all or nothing deal!
As for the bullying, I can tell you, it is still VERY Present and VERY much a part of schools. The big areas to concern with are PE class, Cafeteria and the BUS! Those are 3 areas where monitoring doesn't happen. Also, like I said, JOCK mentality is ever present in PE Teachers. I have found this more of the Middle School and High School teachers. Putting down a student because he can't do XX push ups or such. THEY think they are doing well for the weak student...but by doing it IN CLASS in front of ALL, it lends to more teasing and such in other parts of the students day...AND when the PE teacher turns his back! The PE teachers at the higher grade levels are more the Coaches of the teams at the schools. They have more the JOCK vibe and tend to BOND with the JOCKS in their class. JOCKS, in my experience, PREY on the weak. Makes me SICK! I told him (the PE Teacher) when he called me, Has my son ever been sick? He rarely misses school, why would he decide NOW to "fake" an injury????
It is what it is. I tell DS14 often that these very kids that make fun of him.....will go on to do very little in their life. Most often, they make fun of others to help them feel better about themselves. My DS14 is extremely gifted. Took the ACT in 7th grade and got a score that most "JOCKS" would kill for in 12th grade. That has also set him up for teasing. Hoping that in High School, he will be separated enough from the others that his "talent of smarts" won't be something they can continue to tease him about.
It's no wonder the kid turned to food for comfort!
Off-topic, but I mentioned the school atmosphere to the sophomore in my house. She says your son can expect high school to be a much more mature place than middle school. It's going to be a better environment, and the teachers will be easier to talk to because student maturity eases their stress level.
She says in her experience, she saw bullying change as she left middle for high, because so many older students just refuse to tolerate it, are even disdainful about it, and so it becomes easier to "call" someone on it. Bullies who encounter embarrassment over the bullying itself change their ways fast.
I noticed the same thing about the change of atmosphere when I entered HS. There was ALOT less teasing and tormenting than in middle school. If was lot less stressful and more enjoyable.:up:
Congrats on your DS14's success!! It's totally amazing!:jumpjoy:
Monica, thank you for sharing so much with us! What a handsome man this son is growing up to be! No doubt with his smarts he will go far in life! His dedication and hard work are paying off in spades and it is a wonderful thing to see! No doubt that you and DH are very, very proud of this fine young man.
Thank you also for bringing up the bullying information. It is a very real problem and all of us need to be observant and aware of this societal issue facing so many of our young people today.
What a beautiful story. I am so happy for your DS. He's done a fantastic job. :clap:
I'm so thrilled to read this story! Give your son a hug from me. He's doing such a wonderful job, and you are doing a great job of empowering him to make changes now while he's young. KUTGW!
OH that is great news! I am thrilled to hear that. She is not the first person to say that to me. Now, if we could just change middle school.....my DD11 starts there in August. She is in 6th grade. I hope things are different for her. Thank you so much for the INFO!
I'm just beyond thrilled for DS! What a fantastically dedicated young man to do this for himself. I hope he is learning what a strong, wonderful human being he is and is growing into. He'll be the envy of those bullies in a few years, and maybe even secretly is already!
What a wonderful family you have! Your son is so lucky!
Congrats to all of you for the way you handle JUDDD.
Love, Love, Lovin' this Monica....He's got to feel pretty darn good about himself! You're a JUDDD family to watch, that's for sure! :) :) :)
Wow Monica, that is just fantastic, i'm so happy for your lovely son, you and your DH have been such loving, supportive parents. Just great!! Thanks for sharing :)
Fantastic! I love that you were able to make the plan work for him, as he is still growing, with the 1,000/2,000 division. Thanks for the update. We love hearing it! :)
What an awesome story! Congrats to your son and so happy for you all!
He must be so proud and happy, you have done so well in helping him accomplish this Monica, well done all of you.
Bullying is an awful thing and some PE teachers are the pits. I suffered from some of that myself and it can be hell.
He looks wonderful and so happy in the photo.
What a wonderful success story! I am so happy for you all!!!
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not have woken up to anything better than this! I am so happy for DS and the proud parents! This brought (happy) tears to my eyes.
Awesome, I'm so happy for him!
Thank you to all of you! We are all happy here. Just call us one big Happy JUDDD family. Even my DD11 understands UD/DD's. Sometimes on DD evening meals, she just fends for herself! ;)

Brick is absolutely dishonest, and they try to use their logic like you agreed to be scammed, too bad. I have about $2000 credit after returning a defective table due to horrendous quality issue. I agree to accept the credit after they refused to refund my money, but I was never told or written anywhere in a statement saying that I cannot use the credit to buy anything other than furniture at their store. Not knowing, so I went to the Brick looking for a TV. Like a normal person would do, I google for the best price. Their competitor Gibby is selling the TV online for $500 less and bring a... More...

Pre-arranged 12-4 delivery window with the Brick over a week and a half in advance.
Reserved elevator and someone to be present.
Voicemail from driver on delivery day 730am confirming 10-1pm window.
Called customer service - doesn't open til 9am.
Called 901am, advised impossible delivery, Cust service advised driver knows elevator window.
Get call from driver at 1050am - I adv'd I would have someone call within minutes and to stay there.
Arranged person calls driver immediately and agrees to meet within 10 minutes.
Driver leaves and does not wait 10 minutes. Rescheduling is definitely 4+ days away.
Although I was very clear on time frames, as I needed to be for the elevator book - it's our fault for not being there.
I received a call and they didn't even left me a message. I searched number in internet and found reviews saying that they call you and if you don't confirm, they discard your order. Then I called that number. It goes to a VM box asking to call another number and it also say we don't check Voice messages.
I called this new number and a very rude customer service lady answered. She didn't want to even listen to me. I spent over $ 5000 to buy these Crap.
Then they put a delivery date after 37 days. Finally when you get your order, items are missing and you have to fix them yourself. After few months, you notice that those items are not in good quality.
Third world countries have better customer service than Brick.
Bottom line: They advertise that you don't have to pay 15 months, but that's another trap. You have to get their high interest credit card. Nice advertisements and shows reasonable prices, but DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY TO BUY CRAP FROM BRICK.
It came on time as usual two days later. . Besides the delivery guys being a bit rude , delivery went well. When we inspected it later ,we realized some of the threads were loose. We called customer service and within mins of explaining the problem they scheduled a delivery of a new couch for us on the next delivery day.. Today.
Delivery went well, the delivery guys were polite and extremely helpful and we have a perfect couch. All this in one week. I couldnt be happier.
Perhaps the problems I am reading about here are the locations... Or the fact that people only like to complain when there is a problem and feel no need to compliment when they are happy.
August 20th - visited this location and was IMMEDIATELY approached by "Rawji". By the end of my visit he had sold me a fireplace and mattress (while bashing his counter-part at the Mavis location, advising me that they had ripped me off on my previous purchases....he referred to you Lennox). The delivery was scheduled for Sept 2nd as teh house is being remodelled and therefore was vacant until September. The delivery people showed up (un-announced) on August 27th, they called me to advise me they were waiting outside and I was therefore forced to make a special trip up to let them in. Upon inspection of the fireplace, it was evident they had sent the incorrect pieces (the wrong doors). I called them to let them know and they advised they would have someone bring the correct doors out on Aug 31st. On that day (for which arrangements were made for soneone to wait for them), they cancelled and re-booked - (without my knowledge) for the 1st. On this day, they called (not just the wrong number BUT showed up at the wrong house!). I contacted the store and was "greeted " by a RUDE female " Denise" (who has no business answering the phone to paying customers) and requested to speak with the manager since RAWJI was left 4 messages NONE of which were returned. I spoke with "Vicki" who reviewed the information and acknowledged the comedy of errors within their organization but offered no apology. She advised they would simply reset the delivery for Friday night. I later (having still not heard back from Rawji) took it upon myself to call and finally got him on the line. His only explanation for not calling back at all over the previous 4 days was simply that " he was busy ". I explained the litany of mistakes they made (anticipating not just an apology but some sort of offering)....NONE of which was provided and actually received an attitude from this guy (now that he had his sale from me). He proceeded to ask me " what I wanted " and said " there's no money to give ". He then told me he had to go since he was dealing with customers and when I requested he transfer me to his manager.....he hung up on me! I have left a message for the manager and am awaiting her call.
The after sales service is HORRIBLE. They trick you to buy the extended warranty on furniture. When it comes to repair, they'll delay it, never return calls, put you on hold forever, asking manager etc, ask for quote from their supplier and never get back to you for weeks, all sorts of reasons for trying not to fulfill the warranty.
Last Thursday Sept 17th the third sofa was delivered, it too was damaged, I phoned the Peterborough store speak to *****, as she was had been helping us deal with the problem, she wasn't in until the Saturday. I phoned back and asked to speak to a manager, I was put on the phone to Dave. I started to explain the situation, but he interrupted and said he was putting me on hold, as he was busy with other customers. I told him I thought that he was rude but he put me on hold anyway !! Upon returning to the phone, I again started to explain the situation, and said that maybe we should have put the furniture on deferred for fifteen months instead of paying for it upfront, he interrupted at one point and said "Well you got money off it, didn't you//" I told him the set had been reduced further in the sale, and that was the credit we were given. I'm not sure if he was implying that we had money off , to keep a damaged sofa. At another point he interrupted and said" Well you have the sofa in your home , don't you ??". We have a second damaged sofa in our home, covered over, waiting to be returned, the third one didn't make it past the front door, the delivery men suggested I inspect it on the driveway, it had been previously opened and had a slit in the leather on the left hand side.
Finally after a couple of interruptions I said" Can I finish what I'm saying??" to which his answer was "No!!"
At this point, I told him that I had found ***** and **** from his store very helpful, but that I found him very rude and arrogant, and that I didn't want to talk to him, I would phone back next day and talk to someone else.
I realize managers are busy, but should maintain a certain level of professionalism. I felt I was treated with disrespect, and that he had no interest in soling the issue.
I think that it's absolutely rediculous that I would have to wait three months for the delivery of items that have been bought and paid for. Initial delivery dates had been established for the delivery of the lamps and every time, 4-5 times in total, those delivery dates had been pushed back. At this point the superstore is unable to determine when, if ever, those lamps will be delivered to me.
I had called The Brick's customer service department yesterday and the representative suggested that I go to The brick's web site and select replacement lamps. I thought this was a great idea. I selected the replacement lamps and I called the superstore to inform them of the change. I was informed that there was a price difference between the replacement lamps and the lamps I originally ordered; as a result I had to pay $56. I simply cannot believe, after the money I've already spent and the time I've waited, that The Brick would attempt to squeeze another $56 from me.
The Brick speaks loudly about their 'commitment to provide an enjoyable shopping experience' but you do nothing to display such commitment to your customers when difficulties are experienced. The simple fact is this: I entered into an agreement with The Brick. I did so under the assumption that the goods I purchased would be delivered to me within a reasonable period of time (a right, I believed, is accorderd under the Consumer Protection Act). Three months is definitely NOT a reasonable period of time. If The Brick cannot provide me the goods we agreed upon, within a reasonable period of time, then you should offer me a replacement for those items, at NO additional cost.

Technology gives us lots of new options for Father's Day gifts – so much, in fact that it can be difficult to choose. But if you're still living in a world with flip phones and cameras that use rolls of film, you could use a quick primer before you shop.
These items fall into some of the basic categories for popular personal devices and accessories.
Power lines
Innergie's Lifehub USB charging hub has something many similar devices do not have: a cord to reach more than 9 feet from its power source. When you add the reach of the included AC power adapter, you get another 4.9 feet, giving you a total of more than 14 feet of extended power. This enables those needing a boost of power to avoid being confined to a seat beside an AC plug.
You get three high-powered (2.1 amp) USB ports to charge any variety of portable electronic gadgets simultaneously. A cable management system is built into the hub for storage. $55 at www.myinnergie.com.
Dress up your work space with the 3-pound, solid steel Grove Dock for iPhone 4 to 5/5s. The dock has storage for your charging cable, which you can use while your phone is docked. All your phone functions are accessible when plugged in, and there are rubber bumpers on the bottom to prevent any surface scratching. The steel base comes in black or plated silver or with a wood cover that is available in bamboo, walnut or maple. $79 for bamboo or $99 for maple or walnut, at http://grovemade.com.
Smart transportation
The Kuo electric bike from A2B is for the person who wants energy-efficient transportation, especially in the city. This bike assists when you pedal, up to about 15 mph, but you can go faster without that feature. A throttle lets you cruise without pedaling. You can fold the aluminum-frame bike when you reach your destination or when you pack for travel. The bike weighs about 40 pounds. Recharge the lithium-ion battery by plugging into a standard outlet. $1,399 at www.wearea2b.com/us.
Protective shells
Pelican is known for making high-performance cases that are watertight, crush-proof and dust-proof, which has made them popular with firefighters, police and military people. The Overnight Case is one of them. Cases can be ordered with Velcro dividers for a laptop and its accompanying accessories, or you can get it with foam inserts that hold items you need to carry. Once everything is stored, close the latches, pull out the retractable extension handle and start rolling. $249 at www.pelican.com.
Chime in
Moov Mic turns your favorite headphones into a full headset by adding a flexible and positionable boom microphone. Use it for wireless calls, Skype or even gaming. You'll need headphones with a half-inch diameter port to connect the Moov Mic's magnet. Plug them together and you're all set. The mic has a windscreen to help with sound clarity. $19.95 at http://headsetbuddy.com.
Is it a tablet or PC?
Microsoft hopes to change the conversation about tablets versus PCs with its new Surface 3 Pro, an extra-large tablet that's designed to be a true laptop replacement. Designer Panos Panay noted that three years ago everyone expected tablets to replace laptops. That hasn't happened because people still need laptops to really get any work done.
This device's signature hinge is now variable so it can be tilted farther back, and the snap-on keyboard/cover now has a stronger magnet that more firmly locks onto the tablet when it's used on a lap. The Surface Pro 3 has a 12-inch diagonal screen, weighs 1.76 pounds and is 0.36 inches thick. It runs on fourth-generation Intel Core processors, from models i3 to i7. Prices range from $799 to $1,949, with storage options from 64 gigabytes to 512 gigabytes. The new Type cover costs $130 and a docking station is $200.
Old-school, new-school mix
Soundfreaq's Sound Rise wireless speaker and alarm clock is designed for your nightstand. Charge and dock any brand of wireless device using your USB cable, or plug into the USB port for bedtime reading, texting or other uses. Audio is streamed into the system with Bluetooth 4.0. There's also an aux-in port for a wired connection and a backup battery compartment to keep the clock running in the event of a power failure. Set the time in 12- or 24-hour settings, and you're ready to set up snoozing and the two alarms. An FM radio is built in if you want to go old school with the presets. $59 (in black or wood/taupe finishes) at www.soundfreaq.com.

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
*Before DLC characters*
Mink: Okay so, we're getting Lightning-actually nevermind, we're getting Kat. Kat's obviou-I MEAN confirmed from my source. And the second character is uh, Ryu, yeah.
Emmett Graves: EASY MONEY
TheMink is totally a legit source of information.
Check out my [Moveset Creation Guide] ,my [PSASBR Wishlist]
...and my Movesets!
Isaac Clarke makes some sense, Dead Space is popular (even though I think its more popular on the Xbox) and he would be advertisement for Dead Space 3
Zues doesnt make any sense. Maybe for the sequel but not DLC since I'm sure Superbot wants to stick with their "1 character per IP" rule (exception being the Coles) for the first game.
I actually would like Clarke in this game and so would my friends, we all like Dead Space lol

No he didn't, he said that MUSASHI would be a roster character. He never ONCE said anything about a costume. He said Musashi over some of the other characters, who got in the game.
Actually, he did say alt costume. He never siad he'd be a character. I remember reading the thread.

The Douglas County Libraries (Colorado) have embarked on a quest to purchase eBook content to load on their own Adobe Content Server. The first milestone in the project was a partnership with the Colorado Independent Publishers Association. Since then, they have made headway with Gale and Lerner Digital. Jordana Vincent, Collection Development Librarian at Douglas County Libraries and I discussed the project in a recent NSR interview. Ms. Vincent discusses several innovative ideas coming from DCL and offers much detail about the current project. She can be reached for more info at jvincent at dclibraries dot org. Continue reading

Library staff training idea for eReaders/eBooks
Yesterday I was in Loveland, Colorado for the Colorado Association of Libraries Conference. While chatting with Jamie LaRue, Director of the Douglas County Libraries, he shared a great idea for training staff on eBooks and eReaders. With the approval of his Board, the library provided a $50 rebate to library staff who purchased one of 6 pre-selected eBook readers/tablet devices. Just over 100 staff took part in the rebate offer. Jamie said the staff are learning so much about eBooks and devices because they are getting hands-on experience. Staff are sharing tips and tricks with one another as well, many getting together during lunch to hash over the details of eBooks.

Recognize the key features that many employer-sponsored plans share:
Contribute as much as possible
The more you can save for retirement, the better your chances of retiring comfortably. If you can, max out your contribution up to the legal limit. If you need to free up money to do that, try to cut certain expenses.
Why put your retirement dollars in your employer's plan instead of somewhere else? One reason is that your pretax contributions to your employer's plan lower your taxable income for the year. This means you save money in taxes when you contribute to the plan — a big advantage if you're in a high tax bracket. For example, if you earn $100,000 a year and contribute $10,000 to a 401(k) plan, you'll pay income taxes on $90,000 instead of $100,000. (Roth contributions don't lower your current taxable income but qualified distributions of your contributions and earnings — that is, distributions made after you satisfy a five-year holding period and reach age 59½, become disabled, or die — are tax free.)
Another reason is the power of tax-deferred growth. Your investment earnings compound year after year and aren't taxable as long as they remain in the plan. Over the long term, this gives you the opportunity to build an impressive sum in your employer's plan. You should end up with a much larger balance than somebody who invests the same amount in taxable investments at the same rate of return.
For example, you participate in your employer's tax-deferred plan (Account A). You also have a taxable investment account (Account B). Each account earns eight percent per year. You're in the 28 percent tax bracket and contribute $10,000 to each account at the end of every year. You pay the yearly income taxes on Account B's earnings using funds from that same account. At the end of 30 years, Account A is worth $1,132,832, while Account B is worth only $757,970. That's a difference of over $370,000! (Note: This example is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent a specific investment.)
Capture the full employer match
If you can't max out your 401(k) or other plan, you should at least try to contribute up to the limit your employer will match. Employer contributions are basically free money once you're vested in them (check with your employer to find out when vesting happens). By capturing the full benefit of your employer's match, you'll be surprised how much faster your balance grows. If you don't take advantage of your employer's generosity, you could be passing up a significant return on your money.
For example, you earn $30,000 a year and work for an employer that has a matching 401(k) plan. The match is 50 cents on the dollar up to six percent of your salary. Each year, you contribute six percent of your salary ($1,800) to the plan and receive a matching contribution of $900 from your employer.
Evaluate your investment choices carefully
Most employer-sponsored plans give you a selection of mutual funds or other investments to choose from. Make your choices carefully. The right investment mix for your employer's plan could be one of your keys to a comfortable retirement. That's because over the long term, varying rates of return can make a big difference in the size of your balance.
Research the investments available to you. How have they performed over the long term? Have they held their own during down markets? How much risk will they expose you to? Which ones are best suited for long-term goals like retirement? You may also want to get advice from a financial professional (either your own, or one provided through your plan). He or she can help you pick the right investments based on your personal goals, your attitude toward risk, how long you have until retirement, and other factors. Your financial professional can also help you coordinate your plan investments with your overall investment portfolio.
Finally, you may be able to change your investment allocations or move money between the plan's investments on specific dates during the year (e.g., at the start of every month or every quarter).

The last time we looked upon the vast sea of NES endings, it was filled with glorious vistas and blazing sunsets. This outing, however, is the exact opposite. There will be no final moment in the sun, no triumphant stance over your fallen foe - this is a roundup of the biggest cop-outs in NES history. Most of these games are so damn hard that players would spend hours (if not days) trying to make it to the end, only to see the strangest, most worthless endings of the day. Totally not worth the effort, almost to the point of sickness.
We're not about to say these are the only terrible endings, merely the worst we can recall. And as before, nostalgia fortress VG Museum helped us immensely.
The games: Ikari Warriors III, Werewolf: The Last Warrior and Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates
Ok. First of all, what rational mind conceived the idea of a shirtless, ripped-as-hell werewolf brandishing the American flag? It's more than a little disturbing, especially once you notice he's covered in thick hair everywhere but his fabulous chest and arms. After clawing through one of the toughest NES platformers, we were hoping for a lengthy Ninja Gaiden-style cinema scene. In its place is a two second finishing move, followed by this unnecessarily patriotic image. Why does he have the flag again? Did he just take over the country or is he championing werewolf rights?
Peter Pan is just... it's just so perfect. From this day forward it's the only way to declare yourself the victor of a forum flame war. Save it. Store it. Keep it ready for deployment anytime someone says Goku could take Superman.
As for Ikari Warriors, well, that's at least one guy who's getting a happy ending. The happiest, by all rights.

UPDATED: Friday, November 12, 2010 - 8:32am
IRVING, Texas (AP) - A weaker dollar and a crude oil price spike are blamed for a jump in retail gasoline prices in Texas and across the country.
The weekly AAA Texas gasoline price survey released Thursday found that a gallon of regular unleaded is selling for $2.68 per gallon, a nickel more than last week. The national average price rose a nickel to $2.86 per gallon this week.
The state's cheapest gasoline is $2.64 per gallon in San Antonio and Galveston, a nickel more than last week in San Antonio and 4 cents more in Galveston. The most expensive gasoline in Texas is $2.73 per gallon in Amarillo, up a nickel, and Texarkana, where it soared 11 cents from last week.
The auto club says gasoline prices are 15 cents higher than at this time last year, despite lagging demand.

Camel Alumni Admission Program
Alumni from all over the world extend the College's outreach to prospective students.
They conduct admission interviews, represent the College at college fairs, and welcome admitted students at receptions in their home area.
Alumni play a crucial role in shaping future classes, often providing a student's first and most persuasive contact. The experiences and stories of Connecticut College graduates enable prospective students and their families to hear first-hand about the social, academic, and residential opportunities at the College and often personalize the admission process.
Alumni reps initiate a friendly and free-ranging conversation that helps alumni and admission staff see if a prospective student has the intellectual curiosity, depth, an open mind, and a desire to engage both in class and on campus.
Demand for interviews changes each year. Some alumni are contacted several times, while some may not receive an interview request each year. Either way, alumni only pledge to volunteer as much time as they feel they can. We enroll our volunteers each August to help work with the following year's freshman class.

2008 Hyundai Santa Fe Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 15 reviews
Last year's addition of extra inches boosted the 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe into the midsize SUV category. One of Hyundai's most popular vehicles, the Santa Fe comes in three trims - the base GLS, SE, and the more luxurious Limited. All are available in either front-wheel or all-wheel drive. For 2008, the Santa Fe receives a few new features. Premium cloth upholstery now adorns the SE, and the Limited gets a standard sunroof and a 7-CD changer with ten speakers. An optional navigation system is also now available for the Limited.
The versatile 2008 Santa Fe starts off in the GLS with two rows, but an optional third row can be added to the SE and Limited trims. Both rows split-fold and fold flat, expanding the cargo area from 30 to 78 cubic feet. A standard roof rack adds even more storage space. ABS brakes, traction and stability control, and dual front-side and side curtain airbags for all rows are standard, and the 2008 Santa Fe ranks in the highest categories for safety. Base models start off with a 2.7-liter, 185-hp V6 and 5-speed manual or optional 4-speed automatic transmission, while the SE and Limited are powered by a more powerful 3.3-liter, 242-hp V6 and 5-speed automatic. No manual is available with the 3.3-liter V6.
The Santa Fe's AWD is not meant for off-roading, but helps the vehicle handle well in tough road and weather conditions. Interior comfort has been improved, with Hyundai claiming the third row offers more legroom than the Honda Pilot's. Owners seem to agree, rating overall comfort and cargo capacity highly. Other highlights include the Santa Fe's handling and smooth ride. Only the 17/24 fuel economy seems to detract from this otherwise popular and ever-improving SUV.

So a good buddy of mine managed to score a 1/2 BBL keg of Yuengling! Seeing as how we live in CA you can imagine our excitement! My question is, if he just uses the regularly supplied keg hand pump, do we run the risk of oxidation after a few days, ie is our time limited on the beer using this tap? Or is there a way to hook up c02 to a sanke keg? And not even worry?
The hand pump will cause the beer to go flat within a short period of time. What you need is a keg coupler with faucet, CO2 tank, and a way to keep the beer at the correct temp (kegerator) in order to keep it for an extended period of time. IMHO of course.
Yes let me clarify, there is a kegerator available.
Well problem is buddy only has corny keg hook ups!!??is there a cheap/readily available C02 to sanke keg hook up?
I saw screw it... Release the pressure open that keg up and transfer to a corney
Primary's Air
Carboy's Raspberry wine, pale ale
Kegged Cooper's Stout, Coopers lager, Newfie dive bomber pee
On tap Cooper's lager, Cooper's Stout
It's Yuengling. If you're drinking it right, you'll kill that keg before it even has a chance to consider going flat!
if you can find a sanke coupler to borrow or even rent, you can switch out the connectors to whatever your friend uses on his system. Pressurize and drink the keg...swith the connectors back and return the coupler.pretty easy. I have one here that I did that to. I havent had occasion to use it yet but it was an easy switch.
