Vt town, factory get natural gasOctober 07,2013ENOSBURGH While Vermont Gas Systems plan to expand south through Addison County has been getting lots of attention, it more quietly has been expanding to the east.
Last week, South Burlington-based Vermont Gas announced that it has added 14 miles of gas distribution pipeline that will enable it to bring natural gas to the village of Enosburg Falls and a major local manufacturer.
The big customer is Franklin Foods, which employs more than 100 workers at an Enosburg Falls plant that is the third-largest producer of cream cheese in the United States.
Both Vermont Gas Systems and officials with Franklin Foods are talking up the lower cost and smaller carbon footprint of natural gas compared with other energy sources.MORE IN Vermont NewsBARRE Police say a state employee involved in finances for the states health insurance...

Bad day... looks like my 6 month old laptop's HD crapped out. I can live with that; Samsung said send it back, we'll replace it.
Problem is, I don't have everything backed up, so I want to try and get some of the stuff off the disk before I send it back.
I have a licensed copy of Recover Lost Data, and the key... but the installer won't take it. It keeps saying Input number in the proper format.
Anyone use this program and know the format of the serial key??
Or, if not, suggestions for good recovery utilities?

Comments about BLUE Dual Microphone Cable:

What you would expect from Blue
well built and ruged.
A little pricey but hey, wont be replacing them soon because they are crap
Comments about BLUE Dual Microphone Cable:
Bought several of these BLUE dual cables from Musicians Friend (don't go anywhere else!), as well as the other BLUE models, several years ago, and have used them in the home studio as well as numerous on-location recordings where they were stepped on (cable & connectors) mercilessly. No failures. No complaints. The connectors really are very rugged. Just wish the new cables still had gold plated connectors like mine do, but the price of gold has skyrocketed. Worth every cent, uh, dollar. Not cheap, but very high quality & excellent audio performance. Have compared them to more expensive Monster brand mic cables and cannot hear any difference. The sticky cable insulation is a bit harder to wrap & route, but a minor inconvenience for a quality connection.

Fateful Reasons
Not every college kid has to go clueless, thanks to the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and the light it shines on a culture that drives out thinking.
Last week I turned in the final grades for a course I teach once a year to college juniors and seniors. As in all other summer courses, the students are mainly of two types: the scatterbrained and the compulsive -- i.e., those who have fouled up their schedules in some way that forces them to make up lost credit hours, and those who want to get ahead to graduate early.
The pace of the course is tight, squeezing the usual eleven weeks of material into five weeks of lengthy class meetings and chunky readings. Worse, each student must turn in six 1,000-word essays at a frantic rate slightly in excess of once per week. Much worse, I have to read the essays.
The course -- which fulfills a university core writing requirement for upperdivision students and therefore draws a broad stream of takers from many different major fields -- is titled Argumentation. The summer catalogue bills it as "ideal for students planning careers in business, law, or politics." It might better be advertised as ideal for teachers who want to know what's really going on in their students' heads.
Here are some representative topics in my students' attempts at argument this summer:
• Corporate corruption: it's something Republicans do, which Democrats must take a stronger stand against.
• Vouchers: they are bad, threatening the integrity of the public school system.
• Euthanasia: it's good, often the only compassionate choice for the terminally ill, whose choices need legal support in the manner of Oregon.
• Evolution: it's a proven scientific fact under fire from religious fanatics.
• Embryonic stem-cell research: it's a hopeful scientific breakthrough under fire from religious fanatics.
And while I'm still in the mood during my first week of summer break, here's a quiz. What position do you think was taken on the following issues -- and (bonus question) which ones included a denunciation of religious fanatics?
Gay marriage. Gay adoption. U.S. hostility against Iraq. Partial-birth abortion. Regulation of pornography. Homeland security. Affirmative action and diversity . . .
The burden of reading all this, week after week, was lightened by a series of personal conferences, in which I discovered yet again that most of my students are a lot more likable than their thoughts -- not least because, in most cases, the thoughts aren't really theirs.
Gingerly, in conversation with each student, I asked about some of their balder assertions. Without exception, none of them had any notion of any serious counterpoint to their predictable positions on predictably framed issues. The student who argued for the exclusive place of evolutionary theory in the science curriculum, for instance, had no idea that the theory is under serious dispute by reputable scientists and philosophers, nor had it ever occurred to her that the primacy she assigned to "science" over "faith" was itself a matter of faith on her part.
Chesterton remarks somewhere that we are bound in this life to be influenced either by thoughts we have thought through or by thoughts we have not thought through; the latter (thought not thought about) is what we call a culture. In The Clash of Orthodoxies (ISI Books, 387 pages, $24.95; click here to order), Robert P. George exposes the culture inhabited by my students -- and by all of us, apparently, whenever we stop thinking.
George is a professor of law at Princeton who has thought with uncommon depth about his own and others' thinking. The essays that make up this collection range over several public policy issues connected by George's analysis of fundamental premises.
The controversy over same-sex marriage, for example, is really a conflict (a "clash," to use the term of George's title essay) between two radically distinct perceptions of human nature. Supporters of gay marriage assume (with the culture) that human nature is constituted by emotional desires; opponents argue (against the prevailing culture) that our nature is constituted by basic goods that give us reasons to desire.
Deeper still is a distinction George draws between two clashing conceptions of the human person. Orthodox secularism rests its view of hot-button life issues (abortion, infanticide, suicide, euthanasia) on a person-body dualism which assumes that bodily life is good only instrumentally. The Judeo-Christian view is that we are embodied persons, dynamically unified actors whose bodily life is good intrinsically.
In a stunning argument, George shows the rational superiority of the Judeo-Christian view. The dualism of orthodox secularism (that is, of the prevailing culture) is self-referentially inconsistent; it contradicts its own starting point, since reflection necessarily starts from conscious awareness of oneself as a unitary actor.
The argument is independent of any claims about divine revelation, yet huge implications about human dignity flow from the rational rejection of secularist dualism. One of the unexamined assumptions common to my students, for example, is that human rights are privileges or opportunities granted by the state. George (not to mention the American founders, who believed firmly in natural law) would respond that we come into this world already equipped with natural rights which the state is duty-bound to respect and protect.
How do my students emerge from three or more years of college little more than children of their own times, with little or no sense of the culture that directs their thinking?
The answer is suggested in Bonfire of the Humanities (ISI Books, 373 pages, $24.95; click here to order), a collection of essays by classics professors Victor Davis Hanson, John Heath, and Bruce S. Thornton. All three seem to me proof of George's contention that traditional moral judgment can be tied to publicly accessible reasons.
In George's labeling system, Hanson, Heath, and Thornton are "old-fashioned liberals." Although not apparently religious, they believe in natural human rights, the rule of law, limited government, private property, democratic decision making, rational debate.
In other words, they are at loggerheads with most of their colleagues in contemporary academia and with the whole sorry process of academic degradation over the past half century: "radical social protest in the late 1960s; deconstruction in the 1970s; ethnic, feminist, and Marxist cultural studies in the 1980s; postmodern sexuality in the 1990s; and rampant careerism from beginning to end."
That last point is the keynote. Amid several essays and reviews detailing the farcical collapse of intellectual integrity in classics and the humanities, the wider backdrop is a "utilitarian assault on liberal education," in progress since the early twentieth century. Under the utilitarian imperative (education viewed either as training to serve practical ends or as ideological indoctrination to promote social causes), academe has degenerated into a site of careerist advancement. What used to be the life of the mind has become "a juicy plum for the lupine opportunist and peripatetic prof-on-the-make."
Yes, my Argumentation course is "ideal for students planning careers in business, law, or politics." I can't help wondering, though, what my students (and my job) would be like if the culture were such that the class could be billed a tad more seriously.

Adolescent Sexual Behavior in Two Ethnic Minority Groups: A Multisystem Perspective
Miller, Kim S., Forehand, Rex, Kotchick, Beth A., Adolescence
Adolescents are at high risk for a number of negative health consequences associated with early and unsafe sexual activity, such as infection with HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, as well as unintended pregnancy. In the present study, a multisystem model was applied to one adolescent sexual behavior, penile-vaginal intercourse. Nine hundred seven Black and Hispanic adolescents (aged 14 to 17 years) and their mothers were interviewed. Factors from three systems (self, family, and extrafamilial) that are influential in the lives of adolescents were evaluated using four outcome measures. Factors from most or all systems emerged as predictors of each outcome measure. A cumulative risk index suggested a linear relationship between the number of systems identified as being at risk and indicators of adolescent sexual behavior. The implications for prevention are discussed.
According to Youth Risk Behavior Survey data, over one-half of high school students engage in sexual intercourse prior to graduation (Kann et al., 1995). Estimates appear to be higher for males, minority adolescents, and adolescents of lower socioeconomic status (Kann et al., 1995). Considering the high rate of sexual activity among adolescents, it is alarming that many engage in behaviors that are considered risky or unsafe, exposing them to possible infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other sexually transmitted diseases (e.g., syphilis, chlamydia), as well as unintended pregnancy (see Aggleton, 1995; Centers for Disease Control, 1997; Kegeles, Adler, & Irwin, 1989; Kirby et al., 1994). Of serious concern is the finding that only a small proportion (i.e., approximately 10-20%) of sexually active adolescents use condoms consistently (Kann et al., 1995). The consistent use of condoms appears to be lower for minority adolescents than for Caucasian adolescents (Brown, DiClemente, & Park, 1 992). Furthermore, adolescents tend to engage in sexual activities in the context of serial relationships that are of short duration, and having multiple partners increases the risk of experiencing the negative consequences associated with sexual behavior (Overby & Kegeles, 1994).
Research on the psychosocial context of sexual initiation and sexual risk-taking behavior has increased (e.g., Devine, Long, & Forehand, 1993); unfortunately, however, assessment of adolescent sexual activity has frequently been limited to one dichotomous variable, such as sexually active versus not sexually active. Furthermore, a multisystem approach has rarely been taken. Yet, accurate and comprehensive understanding of adolescent sexuality must include knowledge of both the personal and environmental factors that contribute to the decision to become sexually active and, subsequently, the decision to engage in risk-promoting or risk-reducing behaviors. Thus, a wide-sweeping multisystem perspective affords intervention specialists, health agencies, educators, and parents the best opportunity to help adolescents avoid the negative health consequences of sexual risk taking.
In a study employing a multisystem approach, Small and Luster (1994) examined variables from three systems--individual, familial, and extrafamilial--in a predominantly non-Hispanic Caucasian and Hispanic sample of seventh, ninth, and eleventh graders. One or more factors from each system contributed to the prediction of whether or not adolescents had experienced sexual intercourse, suggesting that engagement in intercourse is influenced by multiple risk factors from the multiple systems that impinge upon adolescents' lives. However, as only one aspect of adolescent sexual behavior was examined, namely the decision to engage in sexual intercourse, the implications of the findings for understanding the complex nature of adolescent sexual risk taking are limited.
A study by Resnick et al. (1997) examined the influence of individual, family, and school variables on age at first sexual intercourse. …

Fumes of the pastA green ooze slowly trickled down the tin, sizzling as it slid. Toxic fumes escaped from the freed liquid, emitting the now familiar scent of ash and stomach acid. The warehouse had been abandoned for about forty years, its contents left to the mercy of time, weather, and squatters.Fumes of the past by Despina897
Suddenly, as if given some pang of resurrection, the lights flew on, giving light to the sickening sight. Over forty thousand tins were splitting open, releasing their toxic acids and corrosive fumes. No alarm went off, for there was no one to sound it. The building stood among its brethren, the lonely toxic storehouses of an abandoned military base. Save however, the dead squatters, extinguished by the fumes that filed the buildings the night before.
Greetings and Salutations!
I don't even know how to introduce myself. I'm currently obsessed with George RR Martin, sewing, and dragons. Oh my goodness dragons. Most of my stuff here will be my sewing projects and shitty writing. I do draw occasionally, but my scanner is total carp . Feel free to say hello or whatever in the comments, I always enjoy a little chit-chat, no matter how brief it is!

Pittsburgh teenagers latest lost skiersJanuary 21,2013Three girls found
after leaving trail
KILLINGTON A group of three teenage skiers from the Pittsburgh, Pa., area, were the latest group of skiers who had to be rescued after they deliberately skied out of bounds Sunday afternoon, police said.
Vermont State Police said the skiers, all 17-year-old girls, were at Killington with a school group and skied out of bounds at 1:16 p.m. Sunday from the Juggernaut Trail. The girls later called 911, and their location was determined through GPS, police said.
The Killington Ski Patrol entered the woods and were able to locate the teenagers and get them out unharmed. State police and E-911 were also involved in the rescue.
Police said temperatures Sunday ranged from 45 to zero degrees, with winds gusting to 50 miles an hour. Police said the girls were not prepared for a night in the woods.
Killington has been plagued with dozens of out-of-bounds skiers this winter, requiring numerous rescues, and prompting a review by state police.MORE IN This Just In

Another whale has beached itself on the Outer Banks, and officials are looking at recent sonar training exercises off the Virginia coast as a possible cause.
A 15-foot female beaked whale had bleeding around both ears, but a scientist who performed a necropsy couldn't say what caused the whale to beach. Sonar can harm whales, including beaked whales that live deep in the ocean off the continental shelf.
A spokesman for Fleet Forces Command says sonar exercises took place about 150 miles offshore of Virginia Beach, about 10 days before the whale got stranded at Kill Devil Hills.
The Navy has proposed building a sonar training range near Camp Lejeune about 50 miles off the coast that would allow its crews to sharpen their submarine hunting skills. But there are concerns about sonar's impact on marine mammals. In January 2005, 37 whales beached and died on the Outer Banks. The Navy said its sonar exercise was several days earlier and more than 200 miles away.

Cranberry Granola

Cholestasis of pregnancy
Has anyone out there experienced this? I had it with my last pregnancy, but delivered at 35 1/2 weeks due to preeclampsia with my twins. I am having itchy hands, feet, face, etc. and a lot of swelling. Did you insist on a c-section at 36 weeks to be safe? This baby is already 6 lbs at 33 weeks, so I am concerned about size as well

I had cholestasis during my pregnancy. I was itching from head to toe, 24/7. When I was itching, the most sleep I got was 5 hours in a night. I had to quit public school and get home schooled. I was having bi-weekly non-stress tests done. I gave birth to my daughter at 34 weeks, she was stillborn. The doctors I saw during my pregnancy kept telling me that cholestasis was too rare and that I didn't have it, so the appropriate steps weren't taken for my daughter to live. Now I have a 90% chance of having this again. Take cholestasis seriously, get the help you need.posted 02/24/2012 by Sadie Maurer
Hey everyone.....wow im sooo verryy happy that a few of you have posted on here your symptoms cause its been freaking me out!

It is so important to tell your doctor about any itching you are having, especially on the hands and feet. I'm so glad I researched cholestasis and asked for the test to be done-because it was positive. I'm on ursodiol now, feeling better, and the baby will be delivered next week at 37 weeks. Moral of the story-ask lots of questions and ask for tests to be done! Don't assume it's allergies or hormones.posted 10/11/2010 by Kristin102

Without this site and the help of women who have been there things could have gone very different for my baby. I came here 1st to learn about the condition and I was the one informing my DRs! I was given the tools here to advocate for the health of me & my baby! I want to make sure I help get the word out to pay it foward! Thanks Baby center!posted 09/23/2010 by VRose80
I have all the symproms since 34 weeks. My specific bile test showed one acid being too high and they put me on medication........yet the doctor is so "weary" about calling it cholestasis though by every symptom it cleary is. i Have itchy hands and feet, upper right abdominal pain, pale stool and dark urine too.posted 03/04/2009 by robynslp95
I was diagnosed with it at 25 weeks. I had to go thru non stress test every week from then on. I was induced at 36 weeks, my baby girl was 6 lbs and 4 oz with no major problems! So I would just talk to your doctors and see what options you have, but I think an early delivery is the safe way!posted 07/01/2008 by lilica123
I'm 35 weeks pregnant and woke up with swollen, itchy eyes, hands, feet & pretty much all over my body with what appeared to be hives! I then went to the doctor & they suspect cholestasis, but it's not showing on my blood tests, but it can be 15 weeks after symptoms for it to appear. I'm on 2 seperate steroids, and they seem to be helping, except my hands itch sooooo badly! I now have to go in and get a nst & ultrasound twice a week for however long before they decide it's time. I knew nothing about this, but would like my baby to be born soon because of the risk of still born. I don't think I could ever recover from that.posted 05/01/2010 by tandmkoch

The London Mayoral elections are here and housing is top of the campaign list. With the proposed policies impacting the property market for developers, agents and investors, what would each candidate mean for London's real estate?
Today is a Bank Holiday in the UK, which means homeowners will be devoting their day to DIY. But would that just be a big mistake?
New figures highlighted this week show that it is cheaper to live in a four-star hotel in most European capitals than it is to rent a pad in London - but are they actually true?
Landlords are looking to lower their investment in the UK's private rented sector, as the government's planned tax changes begin to impact the market.

Central Saints Chorus concerts will benefit Oklahoma tornado victims
Victims of the recent severe weather are especially invited to concerts presented by the Central Saints Chorus.
The Saturday and Sunday concerts in Oklahoma City and Moore tell the story of the Mormon pioneer journey to the Salt Lake Valley in the 1840s.
"It's a story of a people who managed to find hope after everything was taken from them," said Zach Tanner, who directs the interfaith choir and orchestra. "They are forced to leave everything behind and build new lives, with just their faith to rely on."
Bryce Gorrell, a University of Central Oklahoma student, sings the role of Brigham Young.
"It's a story that I think we all share," Gorrell said. "We've all experienced loss of some kind. There is life after loss."
Many of the choir and orchestra members have volunteered with Mormon Helping Hands, helping to clean up debris after the tornadoes in central Oklahoma.
Admission to the concerts is free, but guests are encouraged to donate to one of the many relief organizations.
The concerts are scheduled for 4 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Oklahoma City Stake Center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 5020 NW 63, and 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Oklahoma City South Stake Center, 498 N Santa Fe Ave. in Moore.
Also scheduled to sing solo roles are Chuck Edgington, Robert Ward, Kelly Bentley, Lindsay Goodson and Catherine Thomas. Music for the concerts, "Saints and Pioneers," was composed by Rob Gardner.

Verizon Wireless Announces Educational Empowerment Program With The McCaskey High School Campus In Lancaster
LANCASTER, Pa. , Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizon Wireless , provider of the largest and most reliable 4G LTE network in America , today announced that it will implement an educational empowerment program at the School District of Lancaster's two McCaskey High School buildings, J.P. McCaskey and McCaskey East, in partnership with Samsung. The program will focus on mobile learning and inform students how to leverage technology in and out of the classroom to assist in learning and preparing for entering higher education or the workforce."Giving back to the community is a top priority for Verizon Wireless," said Mario Turco, Regional President for Verizon Wireless . "This program fulfills our goals on several levels; it teaches students about technology, opens them to experiences they wouldn't ordinarily have, and drives home the importance of continuing their education, all while flexing their creative muscles and collaborating." Since the educational empowerment program was created by Verizon Wireless in 2011, it has been implemented in 15 high schools in the northeastern United States. Verizon Wireless selected J.P. McCaskey and McCaskey East to be the first high schools in Pennsylvania to execute the program. The program's signature component is its student app competition, which will have 12 teams of three students, all selected by the schools' administration, working to develop unique app concepts and creating marketing plans around them. Throughout the project, which runs through April, students will attend bi-weekly workshops conducted by Verizon Wireless team members covering topics such as resume writing, job interview skills, and social media fundamentals. At the end of the project term, teams will present their app concepts and marketing plans. A panel of judges from Verizon Wireless will select three finalists and a public online vote will determine first and second place winners. The members of the winning team will receive $2,000 scholarships, new Samsung tablets and Verizon Wireless summer internships. Each member of the second place team will also receive a Samsung tablet. Winners will be named at the McCaskey High School Awards Program May 1. "This opportunity aligns with my commitment, as well as our Board of School Directors', in equipping our classrooms with the tools needed to learn in a 21st century classroom and community," said School District of Lancaster Superintendent Pedro Rivera. "Technology is an important component to engaging students' interest and preparing them for college and career readiness." Most of the educational empowerment program will be facilitated on the Samsung Galaxy Tab™ using Edmodo's free Android App, an online social learning network for education. "The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 allows for a dynamic user experience for both teachers and students while encouraging the growth of the connected classroom," said Timothy Wagner, Vice President and General Manager of B2B Sales for Samsung Mobile. "Samsung Mobile is always pursuing opportunities to support educational programs and set a new education standard by providing mobile devices that help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom." The classroom tablets will be managed by SOTI's MobiControl MDM platform to empower students with the content they need while ensuring responsible use in the classroom. "We are excited about the opportunity to take an active part with Verizon Wireless and Samsung to empower students to reach their full potential," said Charlie Grieco, Executive Director Strategic Alliances, SOTI Inc. "Education is a key focus at SOTI and the Verizon Wireless educational empowerment program fits well with SOTI's vision of technology as a cornerstone of the classroom of the future." J.P. McCaskey and McCaskey East were selected for the program by Verizon Wireless because of their diverse student populations.

Cecil's Boyfriends by Sour-PurpleWatch
©2013-2016 Sour-Purple
I'm not saying they had a thing, but they totally had a thing
Cecil's got da boyz lined up!!!!!!!!!
I seriously love your style! It's so NEAT!!!!!
I seriously love your style! It's so NEAT!!!!!
Who is the first one?
i ship them all*V*
Oh my God the second one 8D
Ha! I'm not the only one who acknowledges Cecil's relationship with the two from Europe!!
Oh Cecil! You are a force to be reckoned with!
I still maintain the idea that he and Steve Carslburg dated in high school. This is neat!
Idk, I just feel like they briefly dated or Steve had a thing for Cecil and it ended really badly.
Cecil doesn't seem like the type to resent his past relationships no matter how badly it ended.
I don't think he resents Steve because they broke up, I think they broke up because they couldn't stop fighting int he first place and it just never stopped.
If he always hated him then why would he date him in the first place
Nah, I just think he got sick of him as they were dating and he didn't really know him that well when they started out.
Well I completely disagree with your theory
If he wanted to, I bet Cecil could have his own reverse harem. "If" being the key word.
With that voice he could get anyone he wanted
That's true too. Personally, I think he sounds almost like my dad whenever he does his radio voice.
Oh my gosh i cant even grasp the concept on how beautiful this is U.U
(Oh thank you for putting blood on Carlos' shirt, it always mildly annoyed me that people kept him immaculate when he nearly died.) The bottom two are my favourite, especially Carlos and Cecil! Is the top Left the boy he slept with in ooh, Francia? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? These are really cute!
My favorite is definetly the bottom right..
pfft oh goodness xD - that and i can't quit place the one at the top right - who's that?
The beautiful guy from luftknarp with ashy skin and a gaping mouth who went to see him out at the train station
oh man
I love how NORMAL Carlos looks compared to everyone else in the picture
His normalcy is part of what makes him unique~
His normalcy is part of what makes him unique~
Holy crap. I remember in the episode "Eternal Scouts" when this guy Earl Harlan, who was a Scout Master, whispered to Cecil "We could've had something Cecil. Always remember that." Too bad he's gone now. Is that him on the bottom left?
Did you intentionally give Cecil darker hair by his ears in the first two pictures, or is that just shading?
Because it looks like he used to have darker hair, but turned it white as he got older. Not sure if that was your intention or just a happy accident.
All the cool kids were drawing him with two toned hair, I just wanted to be popular...
But it actually makes more sense to say that his hair was different in his youth so let's go with that
But it actually makes more sense to say that his hair was different in his youth so let's go with that
Who´s the first one?
His travelling partner from Svitz, who may or may not have been a hallucination
the thing so totally happened
And this is a beautiful demonstration of Cecil's relationship track record~ Carlos will always be my absolute favorite >u< Lovely drawing!

It's something I'm fairly enthused about. Last Tuesday it was a bone numbing 20 degrees with humidity in the morning. It got the commute off to a grumpy start.
Now however it seems (?) that it may be possible to get into some warm weather riding even in the mornings, and that the AM outfit is much the same as the PM.
So anyway, are there any favorite brands/ items of clothing out there for fair weather commutes? It's great to be off the subject of foul weather gear if you'll forgive my enthusiasm.
I like baggy shorts, sneakers with low cut socks- and roadie shirts. (Some bought from thrift stores, others from online retailers in moments of weakness) It may look goofy, but dang it works. Happy warm weather commuting!

I experienced panic the other day. Real, serious, heart-beating-fast panic. All because we're going to be out of debt soon.
I know. That's weird. It's not that I enjoy being in debt, by any stretch of the imagination. Yet there is a certain boundless possibility to life without debt that, while exhilarating, is also deeply terrifying.
It reminds me of an old Simpsons episode in which ants are released in zero gravity. They make squeaking sounds that the subtitles translate as "Freedom! Horrible freedom!"
It's laughable, of course. But in a way, I understand it.
I'll soon be in the financial black, and I'm realizing that, despite all the stress and angst it brings, debt does make life simpler sometimes.
The thing is, debt is the evil you know. It's the bad guy, which means you're automatically the hero valiantly fighting it. You can say no to that dinner out and put that money against your credit card balance. You can say, "I can't afford it." Heck, you can even realize you just prefer the money go against debt.
Not only do you feel virtuous but it's also just so obviously… right. When you're in debt, it's always pretty easy to know what you should do.
After you pay it all off, though, it's the end of the Cold War all over again. We spent so much time defining ourselves in opposition to something, be it debt or Communism, that it's hard to know where to go after the threat is neutralized.
There are still obvious goals, of course. You'll want to bulk up your emergency fund, save up for a down payment on a house. It's all very smart, and the goals are certain good ones. Still, it's not nearly as motivating as having a villain — an evil — to rally against.
Budgets aren't surveyed to find every extra cent. Quite the opposite. Now, we get to loosen the purse strings and enjoy having money to play around with.
Except now the hard and fast rules are gone. When you wanted to eradicate debt, you put your nose the grindstone and threw anything you felt you could spare at that credit card balance. But you don't want to live like that just to build up savings.
So where's the line? How much do you concentrate on savings, and how much do you let yourself spend? When are we not being serious enough about creating a safety net, and when are we being too hard on ourselves and missing out on a lot of fun?
Everyone will have a slightly different answer. Nothing new there, technically. After all, even debt reduction methods vary greatly from person to person. But the central tenet is always to get rid of debt. Once you're out of the red, priorities jostle for attention.
There are just so many obligations that we put off until we're out of debt. My most immediate goals will be a three-month emergency fund, IRA contributions, starting a car repair/replace fund, building a savings account, and working toward a down payment for a house.
And that's barely skimming the surface. There are still issues like wills (mine is horribly outdated), learning about insurance options, finding investments we're comfortable in and plenty of other goodies. Frankly, just thinking about it all makes me a little light-headed. And, as I mentioned, a little panicky.
Suddenly, I don't feel free anymore. Instead, I just feel overwhelmed. And a little more sympathetic toward those ants.

"Day trip to Musandam" Muhafazat Musandam by chizz
Muhafazat Musandam Travel Guide: 55 reviews and 202 photos
We took a day trip to Musandam from Dubai where we took a boat cruise, had lunch at a local hotel and looked at the forts nearby. We also tried to go to the top of Jebel Harim, but due to the bad condition of the roads and the steepness of the ascent, our little car couldn't manage it!
We set off from Dubai at 6am and drove the 2 hours 40 minutes to Khasab, Musandam. The border crossing is located around 35km from Ras Al Khaimah, north of Dubai and the visa costs AED25 per person (GCC Residents) with an extra AED10 for the processing of each visa on the Oman side. The crossing was quite quick (around 20 minutes) on the Friday we visited, but the process can be quite slow on some occasions. We proceeded to the port just after the Golden Tulip Hotel (next to the ferry terminal) to catch our boat for the cruise and this was organised through Khasab Travel and Tours in Dubai. The cost of the half day cruise is AED150 per adult and AED250 for the full day cruise. They also organise overnight trips on both land and sea, details of which can be found on their website - www.khasabtours.com.
The half day cruise started at just before 10am (although we were told to be there for 9am) and returned at 1.30pm. The full day cruise I'm told leaves officially at 9am and returns at 5-5.30pm.
The cruise sails through the fjord of Khor Ash Sham and you can see dolphins at regular intervals. It passes several mountainside villages such as Nadifi, Qanaha, Maqleb and Sham and heads to Telegraph Island for snorkelling. Telegraph Island is the most famous landmark of the area and it was here that the British laid the first telegraph cable in 1864 which ran from India to Basra, Iraq.
The boat then makes it's return journey through the fjord, back to the harbour on the half day cruise, which we did.
On board there are free refreshments and fruit on the half day cruise and snokelling gear can be rented for a small fee.
After our cruise we decided to have lunch at the nearby Golden Tulip Hotel. A lunch buffet was available for around OR8, plus tax or you could have a snack style meal at the Conservatory Cafe overlooking the pool.
After this, we decided to look at the forts nearby and tried to ascend the nearby peak of Jebel Harim. Unfortunately a 4x4 vehicle is needed due to the bad road leading up to the mountain, which we didn't have!
We then headed back to Dubai.

Heritage Fund — The Community Foundation of Bartholomew County will be one of many beneficiaries of a Lilly Endowment fundraising initiative.
As part of the Lilly Endowment's Giving Indiana Funds for Tomorrow (GIFT) initiative, all gifts to the Heritage Fund through March 31, 2016, will be matched dollar-for-dollar — up to $1 million — as part of the GIFT program initiative.
"We're excited," said Heritage Fund Executive Director Tracy Souza. "We're in the middle of a capital campaign — this gives us a little steam. People like matches."
As Bartholomew County's largest community foundation, the Heritage Fund provides gifts and grants to nonprofit organizations in Bartholomew County that are funded by community donations and fundraising.
The Heritage Funds assets were valued at $61.7 million at the end of 2013, up from $53.8 million at the end of 2012.
In May, the community foundation launched a five-year capital campaign with a goal of raising $20 million by 2018.
This is Lilly's sixth GIFT initiative. Since 1990, Lilly Endowment's GIFT program has provided $258 million in asset building grants and endowment grants total some $985 million statewide. Through the previous five gift programs, the endowment has provided to the Heritage Fund matching funds in the amount of $12.1 million.
The 2014 GIFT initiative is the first since 2002.
"The community foundation field has been eagerly awaiting GIFT VI," Souza said.
GIFT VI is a chance to attract new donors, Souza said. Funds raised beginning Aug. 1, 2014, are eligible for the matching grants. Funds from private foundation donations are ineligible.
"Lilly always has a purpose behind their challenges," Souza said. "This one is really about building unrestricted funds and bringing new money into the arena."
Under the GIFT VI program, Lilly will distribute $66 million to community foundations throughout Indiana.
Community foundations are eligible to apply for funding under GIFT VI based on the population of each county:
Up to 50,000 population (65 counties): $500,000
50,001 to 150,000 (17 counties, including Bartholomew County): $1 million
150,001 to 300,000 (7 counties): $1.5 million
Above 300,000 population (3 counties): $2 million
The endowment's prior GIFT programs provided the funds for other community foundations to form around the state. Bartholomew County's Heritage Fund was already in place in 1990, but statewide, community foundations have been formed and flourished since the program's inception.
"When Lilly began this, there were about a dozen community foundations in Indiana," said Rosemary Dorsa, vice president of the Indiana Philanthropy Alliance and Director of the GIFT Technical Assistance Program. "Now we have 94 community foundations. The Indiana community foundation landscape has been dramatically changed."
"Applying for a grant like this is very easy," said Dorsa, who served as an adviser to the Heritage Fund. "Lilly has allocated a certain amount of money for every county. All the foundation has to do is say, 'Yes.'"
GIFT VI funds will be distributed by the end of 2014. Should the Heritage Fund not raise $1 million by March 2016, Lilly will deduct the missing amount from future GIFT program endowments.
With the matching-dollar incentive, Heritage Fund leaders see fundraising — including funds for their capital campaign — as an easier venture.
"If you've been thinking about planned giving or your estate planning, now would be the time," said Heritage Fund chairperson Kevina Schumaker. "You're going to get more bang for your buck. There isn't any greater way to support the community than giving through the community fund."
