Today is "Back to the Future Day," celebrating the precise date (October 21, 2015) which characters Marty McFly, Jennifer Parker and Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown travelled to in the 1989 film Back to the Future Part II. The future presented in that film, which premiered some 26 years ago, included a number of notable predictions that don't exist today (e.g. flying cars, actual hoverboards). There were, however, a number of predictions the film did get right, including some "futuristic" banking technology.
You know it can help you take and make phone calls, access email, take pictures, surf the Web, get driving directions, and even play your favorite music. But are you aware of just how smart your smart phone really is? Today's smart phones have features and apps available that can help you simplify virtually all aspects of your life, including mobile banking.
In many families, talking about money can be uncomfortable, and in some cases, almost taboo. When children request something that costs more than the family is comfortable spending, children of different ages react differently. Young children may not have an understanding of the item's cost relative to the family's finances. And a teenager's "need" may be viewed as an "extravagance" by the parents. These simple ideas can help foster two-way conversations between parents and children, as well as a basic understanding about the value of money. #FinancialLiteracyMonth
Preparing to be out on your own can be fun and exciting, but it also means taking on new financial responsibilities. The decisions you make now about how you manage your money can affect your ability to get credit, insurance, a place to live, and even a job. #FinancialLiteracyMonth
In March 2011 President Obama issued a proclamation establishing April of each year as National Financial Literacy Month. The creation of National Financial Literacy Month was an effort to highlight the importance of financial literacy and teach Americans how to establish and maintain healthy financial habits.
For the month of February, snowfall totals in Rhode Island were nearly two feet above normal. This dreary winter weather has led many of us to start dreaming about those home improvement projects we'd like to tackle once spring finally arrives. According to HGTV, the network shattered its own ratings records to deliver a "best month ever" performance for the month of February. That's a lot of viewers thinking about updating their kitchen, designing new landscaping, adding a pool, or completing a wide range of other home improvement projects. The question of how to pay for those projects is challenging. For some, the answer is borrowing against the equity in their home. For others, that equity is just not available. Don't let that lack of equity stop your project.
A home improvement loan is a great way to help pay for big or small upgrades and remodels to your home. Washington Trust's Home Improvement Express Loan is perfect for financing roof or window repairs, a new patio or driveway, a new furnace, or any other home improvement on your list. But whether you're planning an addition for a growing family or simply getting new storm windows, finding a competent and reliable contractor is the first step to a successful and satisfying home improvement project.
The income tax filing season has begun and important tax documents should be arriving in your mailbox. Even though your return is not due until April, you can make tax time easier on yourself with an early start. Here are the Internal Revenue Service's top 10 tips to ensure a smooth tax-filing process.
If one of your New Year's resolutions was to get organized, this is the month to take action! January is National Get Organized Month, and when it comes to your finances, its time to ditch bad habits and replace them with good ones. Here are some tips to get financially organized this New Year.
How can you save money and avoid a variety of problems at tax time?
Guard against tax-related frauds. Examples include scam e-mails falsely claiming to come from the IRS. Many of these are intended to trick taxpayers into revealing Social Security numbers and other personal information that can be used by criminals to steal victims' identity and money, including tax refunds. Others involve phone callers saying the taxpayer owes money to the IRS that must be paid promptly by wire transfer (that actually goes to the crook) or by loading funds onto a prepaid debit card and then sharing the number. The scammer may try to intimidate a targeted victim who refuses to cooperate, such as by threatening arrest or suspension of a business or driver's license.
You could probably accomplish a lot of financial goals, both big and small ones, this year simply by focusing on one specific priority each month. The calendar presented here will stimulate your thinking about a variety of dollars-and-cents objectives.
With the holidays upon us, it's time to think about giving. Not just to family and friends, but to charitable organizations that qualify for tax deductions on your tax return. If you itemize your deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A, you can deduct contributions to qualified organizations, including religious, charitable, educational, scientific, and literary groups.
As the traditional giving season approaches, there is one important item to add to your to do list: Create a holiday budget. Before the gift shopping and wrapping begins, take control of your wallet through financial preparation. Remember, you can avoid the credit card crunch and the dangerous pitfall of borrowing against your company's retirement savings plan or IRAs.
The holiday season is in full swing. As you join the ranks of Christmas shoppers, you'll find plenty of ways to spend your hard-earned money. Using a credit card makes shopping easy; so easy, in fact, that many Americans will spend too much this month. Yet Christmas shopping does not have to lead to credit card debt. This year, you can take steps to avoid a gloomy credit card statement in January.
As the shortest days of the year approach, we have the inevitable diversion of the holiday season to distract us until the days begin to gradually lengthen. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or the general holiday season chances are you'll be spending money on things that are outside your regular budget. Here are some tips for spending smart.
Not only is Halloween this week, but it is also the last week of Cyber Security Month, a month of focused attention on protecting your finances and identity online. While Halloween celebrates all manners of spooks and ghouls, it seems fitting to end Cyber Security Month with some tips on protecting yourself against the real ghosts who creep the web looking for ways to steal your information. The more business we do and information we share online, the more identity theft becomes a growing threat to our financial security. There are ways you can help protect your good name and credit. Here are some tips to help keep you and your family safe from identity thieves.
Cyber Security Month continues on The Washington Trust Company Blog with a number of steps you can take to protect yourself and your finances online. The news often includes reports about thieves gaining access to sensitive personal information that can be used to commit fraud or steal money, sometimes involving major security breaches at large companies such as retailers. "These reports may cause some consumers to be skeptical about engaging in even the simplest financial transactions, but that is unrealistic for most people, especially in today's online and electronic world," said Michael Benardo, Chief of the FDIC's Cyber Fraud and Financial Crimes Section. "That's why it's important to be vigilant about protecting your finances by taking some reasonable precautions."
The Internet is part of everyone's life, every day. We use the Internet at work, home, for enjoyment, and to connect with those close to us. However, being constantly connected brings increased risk of theft, fraud, and abuse. No country, industry, community, or individual is immune to cyber risks. As a nation, we face constant cyber threats against our critical infrastructure and economy. As individuals, cybersecurity risks can threaten our finances, identity, and privacy. Since our way of life depends on critical infrastructure and the digital technology that operates it, cybersecurity is one of our country's most important national security priorities, and we each have a role to play—cybersecurity is a shared responsibility.
Consider this: Your wallet is stolen. You immediately call your bank and credit card company to report the problem, close old accounts and open new ones. You even remember to call the Social Security Administration to notify them that you had your Social Security card in your wallet. At the end of the day, you feel fairly confident that the incident is behind you.
But weeks later you receive past-due notices on bills for merchandise you never purchased, and a few months later your application for an auto loan gets rejected because someone has used your name and Social Security number to open new accounts and run up thousands of dollars in debt. The good news: Your actual liability for these unauthorized purchases is limited by law or industry standards. The bad news: It's likely that you'll spend many frustrating hours trying to clear your name and straighten out your credit history.
1. Keep Track of your Mobile Device: Perhaps the biggest risk is also the reason why mobile banking is so popular -- mobile devices are easy to carry around everywhere we go. If your device has a digital locking mechanism you should use it. Some devices require you to trace a pattern or insert a PIN. While it might slow you down to have to enter a PIN each time you want to use your phone, that layer of security might be enough to keep a thief from accessing your bank account before you can report your phone as missing.
At Washington Trust, the basis of each customer relationship, many of which span generations, is trust. We take the security and privacy of our customers very seriously and take extra steps to ensure that their information is protected. Throughout the month, we will share tips on how you can best protect your finances both online and off.
"While there isn't really anything consumers can do to prevent a breach, you can be on the lookout for signs that something like this has occurred," said Jeff Kopchik, a Senior Policy Analyst with the FDIC. "And, if you receive formal notice from your bank or a retailer that your credit or debit card information was stolen as a result of a breach, there are steps you can take to protect yourself."
Higher education opens doors for a young person, but these advantages come at a price: Today, tuition and fees at a four-year private college can run over $40,000 per year. With advance planning, your family can manage these costs. You'll need to research investment vehicles designated for college savers as well as potential sources of financial aid. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
Take advantage of tax-free investment opportunities. Section 529 college savings plans were designed specifically to fund higher education. Contributions grow tax free, and withdrawals are tax free when used to fund qualified education expenses. There is no annual contribution limit, although contributions in excess of $14,000 a year ($28,000 when done jointly with a spouse) are likely to trigger the federal gift tax.
Being part of the college planning process can be very educational for children, as it presents them with valuable financial lessons for the future. Children can earn money, learn about sources of financial aid, research potential colleges, and take other steps that may relieve their parents of some of the responsibility of college planning.
September is College Savings Month, which means that we'll be posting new advice all month on the Washington Trust blog about how to save for college, best ways to avoid struggling with student loans and how to prepare for dealing with other costs associated with college life. The goal of College Savings Month is to encourage parents to plan ahead for their children's college education costs. According to the College Board nearly half (47 percent) of all full-time undergraduate college students attend a four-year college that has published charges of less than $9,000 per year for tuition and fees. At the other end of the spectrum are private four-year colleges that cost $35,000 or more yearly in tuition and fees. And that doesn't include room & board or other costs like books and a laptop!
Not only is September the peak of hurricane season, it is also National Preparedness Month. National Preparedness Month is sponsored by the Ready Campaign of FEMA and held each September to encourage Americans to take simple steps to prepare for potential emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities. The Ready Campaign asks individuals to do three key things to prepare for the unexpected: 1) get an emergency supply kit, 2) make a family emergency plan, and 3) be informed about the different types of emergencies that could occur and their appropriate responses. Something else to consider is your financial readiness in case of an emergency.
Being able to afford to send your children to the colleges of their choice, without being limited by cost, can be one of the greatest satisfactions of being a parent. Continuing our month-long look at the Sandwich Generation, today we offer some helpful tips for planning ahead to cover your children's college education expenses.
Washington Trust and Cintas® are hosting a free document shredding event on Saturday, July 26th from 9:00AM until 12:00PM at Washington Trust's East Providence branch at 587 Taunton Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island. Ahead of the event, we thought we would share some helpful tips on financial record keeping, and determining what should be shredded and when.
As a consequence of an aging population, more working Americans are finding themselves faced with a new challenge: trying to save for retirement while sandwiched between financial obligations to children and to elderly parents. All of this leads to one of life's biggest questions; How can I afford to do it all?
July is National Sandwich Generation Month, a reminder that there?s no better time than now to start saving for your future. Careful financial planning will help ensure that you have enough savings in case you find yourself needing to take care of children and parents simultaneously. Saving also protects you from having to rely on your own children as you grow older, thus breaking the cycle of sandwiched responsibility for future generations.
Sandwich Generation Month is an annual commemoration and celebration of the dedication, patience and caring of adults who are part of the "sandwich generation" - those caring for their children as well as their own aging parents. The term "sandwich generation" was coined by Dorothy A Miller in 1981 and officially added to the dictionary by Merriam-Webster in July 2006.
As you prepare to hit the busy highways this holiday weekend, consider the road ahead. It takes a lot of planning to travel, but no trip is without its bumps in the road. The road to financial stability is no different. If you want to do more to prepare financially for the future but find yourself slowing behind debt, here are some ideas for plotting a clearer route.

Start with the repetitive language of a highly predictable book. Give your child positive encouraging feedback:
Train your kindergarten parents and "Reading Buddies" to value "magical memory reading" and transition into "touch reading" and later independent reading using the Neurological Impress Method.
Build a Parent Lending Library of Predictable Literature
Consider building a parents' library with multiple copies of your favorite predictable books to send home with families at the beginning of the year. Some of these may be the same books you use for shared literacy. (See page 265 for a list of quality literature with high picture and text support for emergent readers.)

Rebar fabrication shop earns safety recognition
Harris Rebar joins SHARP
(Salem) – Oregon OSHA welcomes Harris Rebar in Portland as the latest employer in the Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
SHARP provides an incentive for Oregon employers to work with their employees to find and correct hazards, develop and implement effective safety and health programs, and continuously improve. The ultimate goal of SHARP is to encourage employers to become self-sufficient in managing workplace safety and health issues. Currently, about 70 employer locations in Oregon participate in SHARP, in addition to more than 100 facilities that have graduated from the program.
Harris Rebar is North America's leading fabricator, installer, and distributor of concrete reinforcing steel and related products. Headquartered near Hamilton, Ontario, the company has more than 80 locations across the United States and Canada. The Portland location currently has 14 employees.
"Being a part of SHARP means we are in the top of our field in safety," said Gene Hendrickson, shop superintendent for the Portland location. "Any help we can receive to make us more aware is a great program. The more eyes, the better to see hazards. We hope we can help show our other shops how to be safe and productive."Participation in SHARP does not eliminate regulatory enforcement, although SHARP participants do receive a limited exemption from programmed inspections . Employees retain all workplace safety and health rights contained in the Oregon Safe Employment Act. Oregon employers that have been in business for more than one year are eligible to apply for SHARP regardless of size or type of business.
Oregon OSHA, a division of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, enforces the state's workplace safety and health rules and works to improve workplace safety and health for all Oregon workers. For more information, go to www.orosha.org.
The Department of Consumer and Business Services is Oregon's largest business regulatory and consumer protection agency. For more information, go to www.dcbs.oregon.gov.

Peoria teen gets long prison term in dad's death
PHOENIX - A Peoria teenager accused of plotting with his mother and others to kill his father has been sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Maricopa County prosecutors say 17-year-old Steven Gibson Jr. also was sentenced Tuesday to three years of probation. He was charged as an adult in the case.
In a plea deal last month, Gibson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and hindering prosecution.
He was arrested after 39-year-old Steven Gibson Sr. was found dead in the family's home in March 2013.
Peoria police said the victim had apparently been beaten with a baseball bat, stabbed multiple times and his throat was slit.

I suppose there are worse ways to spend your 50th birthday than waiting for ski patrol to locate you on a barren mountaintop at 11,000 feet above sea level. It isn't the first time I veered off path, neglected to read the map, took a leap of faith. But this time, the results of my inability to plan ahead could have dire consequences.
The Colorado sun is quickly melting snow around me. I jab my poles in just below my feet to break what would surely be a hard fall down a steep slope. Precariously pitched in uncharted ski territory, I dig in my pocket for my cell phone and dial 911. The operator patches me into Keystone Ski Patrol.
"I'm stuck below Gondola 13. Can you send someone to get me?"
"Don't worry. We'll have someone there any minute," the dispatcher assures me.
I zip the phone back into my pocket and hope my rescuer won't ask me how I got here. I'd have to tell him the embarrassing truth.
After veering off "Mouse Trap," a treacherous, way-beyond-my-skills black diamond run, I thought I could ski down the mountain by following underneath the gondola path — at least there'd be civilization above me (funny how snow distorts one's perception). About a quarter of the way down my pure powder path, I came upon an unexpected vista. I'm now at the ledge of a steep valley, a forest below me that divides the gondola's path to the bottom of the mountain. As far as I can see, there is no way down, and there is certainly no way back up.
I sit down, unsnap my skis, and dig in.

My roommate Alicia found the big green binder in Career Services and dropped it with a thud on the table in front of us.
"Here it is, The 1980 Job Resource Guide," she said.
"I guess we should be happy that it's huge."
We sat under fluorescent lights and paged through the multiple job listings.
It was May of our senior year at Mundelein College in Chicago. Alicia was a psychology major with no plans to enter her chosen field, and I was a humanities major by default. Refusing to declare a major until the junior-year deadline, I simply kept signing up for classes that I thought would be interesting: Federico Fellini Film Study, Russian Literature, Music: In Search of Self. We were graduating in a month and up until now had made no attempts to secure a job after graduation.
Slouched over the desk, we paged through the book unenthusiastically until a small ad caught my eye.
Summer help needed. Keystone Resort — Rocky Mountains.
"Can you imagine?" I said, sitting up straight.
A sly smile appeared on Alicia's face.
"There's plenty of time to work on those real jobs later, right?" she said. "I mean, it's just for the summer."
For the next few days, we talked about Colorado in the cafeteria, in our apartment, in the neighborhood bar with friends. Another college friend, Evelyn, found the idea irresistible, too, and soon we had booked three tickets on Amtrak to Denver, leaving on Father's Day, one week after graduation.
# # #
I skied often as a child on family vacations, but as an adult, I lacked the money and time. My rusty style was apparent from day one on this vacation when I tumbled over my own ski pole disembarking from the lift. But my age-related clumsiness would not stop me from falling into a childhood habit of risk-taking on the slopes.
Now, as I sit under Gondola 13, I marvel at my sheer stupidity. Aren't you supposed to have a little more common sense at my age? I stick my gloves in my pocket and lift my hood up so I can rest my head in the melting snow. I don't dare stand up for fear I'll lose my balance and tumble forward into the deep abyss in front of me.
Two eagles soar by in a cloudless blue sky. I close my eyes and imagine the laughs my mishap will incur at my birthday party tonight. Alicia has booked a horse-drawn sleigh ride for our six boys and our husbands to a mountain cabin for a "cowboy dinner" and square dancing. It's not something I want to miss.
I sit up and look for signs of ski patrol.
# # #
The bus dropped us off at the Summit County police station, a single-cell facility five miles from Keystone. We didn't know where else to go after learning from the HR department that all summer jobs at Keystone were filled. Perhaps we should have called ahead.
Scraggly and tired after a 12-hour train ride and a treacherous bus ride up the mountain, we stared speechless at one other.
"I don't even have enough money for a ticket home," I told my travel-mates.
Surrounded by suitcases, we sat on the lobby bench, dejected and searching for our next move.
"What about that piece of paper your mom stuck in your pocket?" Alicia asked.
"Oh yeah," I said, remembering Mom's last gesture before we departed Union Station.
"If you run into any trouble, call this number," she told us, as she hugged me goodbye.
I pulled the number out my pocket and headed to the pay phone.
Forty minutes later, Father John, a young dark-haired priest dressed in jeans and a flannel shirt, pulled up to the station, his black Jeep churning dust from the unpaved road.
"Hop in girls," he said, in a matter-of fact voice. "You'll be staying at St. Mary's rectory tonight."
Elated by this happy turn of events and the kindness of this stranger, we hoisted our luggage in the back trunk and crowded in for a bumpy ride down the mountain.
# # #
At first, they look like two red dots on a white cloud, but soon I can see the stretcher sled that connects them. Relieved by the sight of my saviors, I sit up and slip on my gloves.
Before long, with an expert hockey stop, the athletic blonde sprays snow in front of me.
"You must be Mary Ann?"
I nod sheepishly. "Boy, am I glad to see you."
"Sorry, for the delay. My name is Jennifer, and this is my partner Sean. The dispatcher told us you were under Gondola 18. We had a hard time finding you. Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine."
"How did you end up here?"
Shading my eyes from the sun, I look up at Jennifer.
"Do you mind if I tell you that later?"
"Not at all. Let's focus on getting you down."
She surveys the scene with her partner and confers on our options.
"Are you able to stand and walk?"
"I can stand, but walk where?"
She points down the steep drop off in front of us.
"No way! I'm sure I would tumble straight down."
She nods and confers again with Sean.
"Okay, we're going to have to ski it then," she says. "Let's get you on the stretcher."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"Let me get this straight. You are going to ski off this cliff down that steep drop with me on a stretcher?"
"Don't worry," Sean says. "This is what we train for. It's going to be fun. You've made our day!"
This is not the kind of "fun" I had in mind when I booked this vacation last year. But I have no choice.
"Okay. Let's do it."
# # #
It was later afternoon, when Father John showed us to the rectory's guest room, a tidy, somewhat sterile room with three bunk beds, a desk and a lone crucifix hanging on a white wall.
"You three look awfully tired. You'll find some snacks in the kitchen. Feel free to eat or sleep. We'll get to work tomorrow."
I immediately took a top bunk and was soon in a deep and heavy sleep.
We stayed with Father John for three days, earning our keep by cleaning the rectory and helping prepare meals. As the de facto Catholic priest for the resort — Father John offered Sunday Mass at Keystone's quaint chapel — our host was able to secure jobs for us on campus: two dishwashers and a janitor. As thanks, we promised to attend his Mass during our stay and visit him often.
I found a box of stick matches in the kitchen cabinet, pulled out three, broke one in half and handed them to Father John.
"Whoever pulls the short match gets the janitor job," I said. My friends agreed, and we drew our matches. Alicia came up short and took the janitor job. Evelyn and I would be dishwashers.
After we set up our work and living arrangements with the HR office, Father John dropped us off at Keystone's employee housing. We might as well have joined the army. A row of cheaply built six-story buildings would be our barracks for the near future.
After thanking Father John, we climbed the stairs to the fourth floor and surveyed our two-bedroom, one-bathroom suite. It was dorm life all over again, with the bare necessities — twin beds on skinny mattresses, a single pine dresser in each room, curtainless windows.
Again, we drew matches, and this time I came up short. I'd share a room with another employee, a pleasant, plump girl from Vermont name Sheila, who worked as a landscaper.
Sheila shared her six-pack of Coors and a bag of potato chips with us, as she gave us the lay of the land.
"Just show up on time and do your job, you'll be fine," Sheila said. "But watch out for those Southern belles from Texas. They're evil."
# # #
I crawl over to the stretcher and climb aboard, folding my hands over my chest and laying flat on my back as my guides straps me in. Jennifer hoists my skis and poles on to a horizontal rack parallel to the stretcher.
Sean points out a course with his partner and turns to me.
"We'll be heading straight down and into that forest over there," he says as he readjusts his goggles over a sun-cracked face. "It's going to be a bumpy ride between the trees. Jennifer will be behind you securing the sled with ropes. I'm in front, holding the stretcher poles and leading the way. Are you going to be okay?"
"I think so. But is it okay if I close my eyes?"
"Sure. Just hold on tight to the side rails and try to keep your weight evenly distributed."
Wow, I think to myself. This will be the run of my life.

If our goal was self-discovery that first summer out of college, I quickly learned two things about myself. I was a pretty good dishwasher but a terrible waitress.
Our pale, bespectacled manager handed over the green slacks and white collared shirts and pointed to the unisex bathroom. Evelyn and I were the first female dishwashers in the Brassier Café's history — Father John couldn't be too choosey with his last-minute job requests. We emerged in our baggy, male-designed uniforms and took our place at the industrial Hobart machine.
"You rinse and load," the manager said, pointing to me. "And you unload," he ordered Evelyn.
It was easy to fall into the repetitive swing of dishwashing and we quickly gained our rhythm. Evelyn soon pointed out the advantages of unloading. The steam shot out at the end of the assembly line directly into her face.
"I'm getting free facials all day long," she announced.
Staring at our patron's leftover glop for hours on end and digging Swiss cheese off stubborn French onion soup bowls grew tiresome. Dishwashers were also required to mop the kitchen floor, a new experience for me, as I had never worked with a heavy string mop before. The manager corrected me a number of times.
"Look here, see how I make the figure eight? Around and down. Around and up. If you're not strong enough, I'm sure we could find some young man to do the job."
"No, no. I'll get it. Don't worry."
Lifting that water-soaked mop over an entire kitchen floor was physically draining. Bone tired after our first eight-hour shift, Evelyn and I headed home to our barracks and dropped into our beds for another marathon sleep session.
One sunny afternoon, just weeks into our new jobs, Alicia popped into the kitchen in her brown khakis and name-embroidered uniform shirt, dangling a heavy string of keys.
"How's it going girls?" she asked, as I poured her a free coke.
"Get this," I tell her. "Just as I'm starting to like this dishwashing gig — I mean come on, I've lost five pounds – the manager promotes us to waitresses."
"That's great," said Alicia. "Think of the tips. Hey, if they're hiring maybe I'll apply. I've had enough with fixing heating vents and unplugging sinks."
"You'd be a natural with all your waitressing experience," I tell her, remembering her diner stories from high school.
"Yeah. And believe me, anything would be better than this janitor work."
Alicia applied that afternoon and nailed a waitress job with us. Before long the three us donned the Brassier uniform — beige cotton dresses and brown aprons — and stood at attention in our one-day training class.
# # #
"Do you have a final wish?" Sean asks with a smile as he hoists the two poles that will guide the stretcher.
I laugh out loud, but to myself I think, "Please Lord, just get me down this mountain safely."
With this vacation, Alicia and I are keeping a promise we made one night years ago while celebrating our birthdays together — hers is March 17 and mine is March 26. We'd been reminiscing about our post-college Keystone adventure as we had so many times before.
"You know," she said. "We ought to promise each other that no matter where we are in life, single, married, divorced, no matter how many kids we have, no matter where we live, that we spend our 50th birthdays at Keystone."
I raised my glass.
"And this time, not in employee housing. We'll do it up right! "
We reminded each other of that promise throughout the years.
By the time our 50th rolled around, she was married and the mother of four boys, living in Chicago's western suburbs and working as high-level financial executive at large investment firm in downtown. I was also married and the mother of two boys, living in the Northwest suburbs, and retired from a 25-years career in public relations after a breast cancer diagnosis and successful treatment.
We started planning the trip in our 49th year. We'd take our whole families, ride Amtrak just like our first excursion, but we'd purchase sleeping berths this time for the kids' enjoyment and our peace of mind.
Our Rocky Mountain adventure was splendid until now. Was I going to ruin this carefully planned trip with an injury caused by my own stupidity?
I close my eyes.
"I'm ready Sean. Let's do it."
# # #
"How ya'll doin' on this fine morning," said LeeAnn to her eight-top table of parents and kids. "I bet ya'll could use some blueberry pancakes this morning to keep you going if you're gonna hike up that mountain," she said with a laugh.
Wait a minute. This was one of the evil Southern belles Sheila warned me about? A short, cute blonde, she'd sashay out of the kitchen with an overhead tray of entrees, sides and drinks and engage in pleasant conversation while accurately matching each plate to its owner. She couldn't be sweeter, I thought.
That is, until she stood by my side at the chef's counter a few minutes later.
"I want those damn pancakes on a plate right now Sam," she barked with no trace of a Southern accent, as she edged me out with her elbow.
"Excuse me, he's working on my order right now?" I said as I moved back into my place.
"Your order? Who the hell are you?"
"I'm Mary Ann. I just started today. And who do you think you are?"
LeeAnn looked at Sam and they broke into laughter.
"You better understand how things work around here, girl. It doesn't matter when I come in. The chefs take care of me first because I take care of them."
She winked at Sam.
"You got it?"
"Yeah, I get it." I said.
Maybe I should have studied that career services binder a little harder. This was not going to be an easy job, after all.
# # #
I try hard to keep my weight evenly distributed on the stretcher but with an almost straight vertical drop to the edge of the forest, it's not easy to do. Sean and Jennifer are making rodeo sounds as though they're riding a crazed buck. I hear laughing and Sean shouts back to me.
"You all right, Mary Ann?"
"I think so," I yell as I grab tighter on the rails.
The safety straps feel as though they're cutting into my flesh with each bump and twist of the stretcher. I refuse to open my eyes.
Suddenly we come to an abrupt stop and I'm somewhat horizontal again. I open my eyes. Sean and Jennifer stare down at me, breathing hard and dripping sweat from their foreheads. I can see pine trees and a clear blue sky behind them.
"That was the easy part," says Jennifer. "Now we have to get through this forest."
"I'm sorry I'm putting you guys through this," I say.
"Are you kidding? We're loving it," says Sean. "I thought I'd skied every corner of Keystone, but this is new to me. The forest ahead of us will be like Level 5 Pacman."
"I presume you're good at Pacman?"
"The best," says Sean with a smile.
# # #
One major advantage to our waitress promotion: pockets full of instant cash. Alicia was right. Four-star resort guests tend to be generous tippers.
On our days off, we'd hitchhike to Breckenridge for window-shopping and lunch. We were oblivious to the dangers of hitching. It seemed like everyone did it in the mountains and we'd never heard of any foul play amongst our growing group of friends.
I loved these short jaunts for their sightseeing value. In my three months in the Rocky Mountains, I never got tired of the snow-dipped mountain peaks, the endless blue skies, the tree-lined vistas stretching out for miles. We were young and free as birds in one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Except when I was back at the Brassier. I was having a hard time fitting in to the waitress world. Not only was I on the Southern belles' hit list for pouring coffee at their tables ("I don't care how many times the customer waves you over — don't go anywhere near my tables."), but for some reason, I couldn't balance a tray over my head.
In our training session, we learned that every item brought out of the kitchen must be placed on a large circular tray and hoisted overhead.
On my first day, a clean-cut, thirtyish-looking man, sat alone at a table on the patio reading the Wall Street Journal.
"Good morning," I said cheerfully. "What can I get you today?"
"Just a cup of coffee for now," he said.
I grabbed a pot at the heating station and filled his cup.
"May I have some cream please?"
"Oh sure. I'm sorry, it should be on the table. I'll be right back."
Heading to the kitchen, I placed a small cream decanter on a giant round tray lifted it over my head and headed back to the table.
"Here you go," I said.
Just before grabbing the creamer, I tipped the tray slightly forward. The cream came tumbling off, bounced off my customer's shoulder and landed in his lap.
He jumped up quickly, as I sheepishly grabbed a napkin and tried to dry his shirt.
"I'm so sorry," I said, my face beating red. "You're only my second customer."
"I hate to see what you did to the first one," he replied with a laugh.
Relieved that he took the splattering lightly, I offered to pay for his dry-cleaning and comp his breakfast.
"Don't worry about it," he said. "Just bring me another cup of coffee, please."
Later, when I returned to the empty table, I found a $10 bill tucked neatly under the creamer.
It would be the first of many spills, before the manager had to let me go. I happily took another job as a resort landscaper where equilibrium played no role and the Southern belles dared not venture.
# # #
Out of respect for Sean and Jennifer, I vow to keep my eyes open for our run through the forest. They are clearly experts in their field and their youthful enthusiasm — laughing in the face of danger — reminds me or our Keystone exploits 28 years ago. Our goal back then was not to have a goal for a brief moment in time, to live strictly in the moment before we embarked upon "real life."
Now, at age 50, I am putting my life in the hands of these young adults, who, like us years ago, have chosen to live in the moment. No doubt, one day Sean and Jennifer will leave Keystone for more promising career paths. But no matter where their lives take them, today they are at the top of their game.
Slaloming between clusters of aspen and spruce trees while maneuvering a loaded seven-foot stretcher is no easy task. Several times, I come within inches of a tree trunk but Jennifer's hard tug on the ropes behind me sway the stretcher back to the path that Sean is expertly cutting in the snow.
"I can see the opening," yells Sean as he guides us to a treeless landing. "We made it! We're back on Mozart."
Jennifer snaps off her skies and unties my straps. I stand up and shake the snow off my jacket.
"You guys are unbelievable. I can't thank you enough."
"We're just doing our job," says Jennifer, stepping into her skis. "We're halfway down this intermediate run. Can you ski it yourself, or do you want us to follow you?"
"I'm fine on my own. But this time, I think I'll stay the course."
Jennifer and Sean laugh heartily, wave goodbye and take off with the empty stretcher still between them.
I start my slow and careful glide down the mountain.

Ensuring access and opportunity: Student scholarships
Ensuring access to qualified students is the number one priority at Penn State Greater Allegheny. Increasing our scholarship endowment is vital if the campus is to remain an affordable option for families, as well as keeping the campus competitive with other higher education institutions.
The average family income of students attending the campus is significantly lower than the average family income of those attending University Park campus, and the rising cost of tuition has had a major impact on our students and families. Last year, 87 percent of our students receive some form of student aid, most of it in the form of federal student and parent loans. There are many students enrolled at the campus who are deserving of scholarship support, yet no funds are available. Worse, there are students who are not enrolled at Penn State or who are forced to leave the University because of their inability to fund their education.
Individuals interested in learning more about scholarships, including the Trustee Scholarship Program, should contact Arlene Fath at 412-675-9048.
We are sincerely grateful to the individuals and organizations who have established scholarship endowments at the campus. The campus' scholarship endowment is now valued at about $3 million. Each year, interest from the scholarship funds is used to support students studying at the campus.

by Faith-Ashleigh Wong Can't believe it's already the finale! I don't know about everyone else but for me this season has just flown by! The phrase "time flies when you're having fun" could not ring truer in this instance... For Ali, Aylin and Blake, the longest Glee audition ever is about to come to an end and one of them is about to win their dream role. They have one last chance to impress Ryan Murphy and convince him that they have the "Glee factor" and belong on the show – no pressure! I was really excited that You Can't Stop The Beat was the final home work assignment number. I love Hairspray and I absolutely love this song! I also really loved the Glee rendition, especially how it starts off slow. The contestants' rendition was good, just maybe a tad too fast-paced, I thought. It all seemed slightly frantic – though I enjoyed Blake's hilarious dance moves! It was great to see all the previously eliminated contenders back to finish off the season together. Loved Dani's fedora! And yay, Chris Colfer! He was definitely the perfect final guest mentor; as Robert said, he epitomizes what The Glee Project is all about. Their last group number was Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae which was fun and fit with the prom theme but I must say I much preferred last season's final group number (Raise Your Glass). Speaking of last season – oh em glee, hello Damian! I was totally not expecting that so was a nice surprise!
So my lovely fellow Gleeks, what did you all think of the final verdict? I must say I'm quite surprised. I did kind of expect it though as I did have a strong feeling Blake would be picked because of his skill level and star quality. It's undeniable he has been the most consistent contender all season. His only major weakness was that he struggles with harmonies but that can be improved on with training. In terms of inspiring back story though, Aylin and Ali were more deserving, in my opinion. After all isn't that what Glee is all about? My only thought as to why Ryan did not choose either of them is that possibly with Aylin, she has been inconsistent and there were weeks she did not take things seriously. And with Ali, even though it would have added a greater deal of authenticity having her on the show, I don't think Ryan wanted to have another character in a wheelchair on the show. On an aside, I totally expected Charlie to say something to defend Aylin when nobody put her name forward as their vote to win! That boy's got it bad... I thought it was really interesting – and not surprising at all – that pretty much all of the cast voted for Ali to win. Ryan seems to have changed tact this year and went with his writers' vote (and rightfully so!) because last season I believe he let the cast sway his decision (the cast had voted strongly for Damian). The Glee Project is over but Wednesdays at 7:30pm is still the Glee hour – next week season four premieres! See you Gleeks at the Glee blog!

While it is widely known that Dying Light will allow players to players to freely explore an open world setting that is heavily populated by the undead, many may not be aware that Techland's first-person title features mechanics beyond free running and killing zombies. Providing more users more depth, the game will give players a number of skills which will improve their abilities while traversing the fictional city of Harran.
One such skill has been revealed to be "sense." Techland Producer Tymon Smektala revealed in an exclusive interview with Examiner just exactly how players will utilize this interesting skill to be able to play through Dying Light using stealth mechanics rather than head-on fighting. "Sense" gives gamers a form combat awareness within the game to better spot enemies and useful objects.
Examiner: For a player's "sense," how can this be upgraded throughout the game? What sorts of benefits will people gain as they improve it? How does the world itself play differently as you improve your "sense"?
Smektala: Sense it's just one of the skills that you will be able to obtain in game, but I really appreciate you've picked that one up because frankly speaking it's one of my favorites. By improving it you will get a better awareness of where your enemies are, you will be able to sense valuable items in the environment or better see your way in dark areas. It really is helpful, and it strongly supports the "stealth" way of playing the game.
Many more in-game skills will likely be revealed before Dying Light launches on Xbox One, Playstation 4, PC, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3 later this year.

FatFlygurlAdventures Day 1: The Road to Skinnyville is Paved with Big Fat Intentions
Thursday, October 17, 2013
The day started off so well, and then came the evening of fatigue and impatience. Two little demons who like to sneak up and knock me off what was already my tiny horse.
I made a conscious effort to eat only good things today, but did not like it one bit. I knew that I was going to be unhappy, and I guess that that was part of the problem. I ate things which I normally like to eat, but because I was forcing myself to eat them it became a displeasure. I dutifully crunched on my carrots for a little sugar rush all the while wishing that I had a chocolate bar instead. This evening I crunched on some more carrots wishing that it was a cookie.
I was in the training centre today, and during lunch I could smell the wonderful aroma of our catered lunch, but refused to touch any of it, as I had packed a healthy sandwich for myself. I normally love my vegetarian sandwich, but couldn't help feeling a little bit of resentment as the waft of stir fry flirted around my nose, causing my tongue to water. I could only satiate my longing with what was by then dry rye bread cushioning fancy mustard, and a poor homemade substitute for protein.
I came home so tired because I did not sleep last night, but I was all set to fit in 30 minutes of light cardio, while the soup was heating, and the lettuce was soaking.
This is where things began to go downhill.
It took a little too long to remove the makeup. I wasn't satisfied with any of the packaged soups in the cupboard. I really wanted a cookie.
It took a little too long to find a non-cream based mushroom soup, and when I did, I found out that the Shiitake mushrooms had to soak for 1 hour before cooking them. "Okay, I'll have some carrots." Done. "Oh I really want that cookie. Okay, just one. Mmmm, that was so good. I still have 40 minutes left for the mushrooms to be ready, I'll have another cookie. Mmmmmmm, know what? Now I've already blown my diet for today, I'll just have another cookie. Yes, that was good. Hmmm. Still have to wait for the mushrooms, and that bag of chips is ready, I'll just have a few. While I'm waiting, I'll watch a little television. Oh now my little bowl of chips is empty, and the timer still hasn't gone off yet for the mushrooms, and now I'm really hungry. Well, there are only a few chips left in the bag, so I might as well just finish."
"Beep, beep, beep!" cried the timer. The mushrooms were finally ready.
So, the soup was ready 30 minutes later, and since my diet rocketed out the window almost 2 hours earlier, I just decided to have a glass of wine with my salad and soup.
Ah, how those pesky demons sneak up on you!
So today was a bust, but tomorrow is a new day. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow.

Don't beat yourself up. Once the cookies and chips are out of the house don't replace them! That way you don't have the choice to eat them while you are waiting for something else.
Remember a healthy lifestyle is a lifetime journey, not something that happens overnight.

I've been having my period for 3 weeks and I went to the student health center and got new pills, a higher dose of birth control and I'm still having my period. What do I do ??
I'm sure you are getting frustrated with all the breakthrough bleeding (BTB) and spotting. It is really frustrating to keep having the inconvenience of BTB and having to buy tampons or pads. The good news is this will not continue forever. BTB is most common with low-dose pills. It is the most frequent medical reason that women discontinue oral contraceptive (OC) use. It occurs most often during the first cycles of OC use while the endometrium is adjusting to a lower amount of estrogen and progestin than was present during normal menstrual cycle prior to OC use. One-third to one-half of all women who bleed during the first cycle of OC use will not bleed in the second. Usually the remainder of the women will achieve normal cycles by the third or fourth month. I'm not sure how many months you have been taking pills, or which pills you were on originally and which you were switched to. The bottom line is to keep taking your pills. Since bleeding may indicate a lack of complete oral contraceptive efficacy, it is important to use a back up method (condoms) until the BTB stops. It is also important take your pills at the same time each day.
Please call your provider at the SHCC for any further questions or for follow-up if the BTB continues.

Included with each home game listed on the schedule are designations of which color fans are encouraged to wear, including maroon five times while wearing white twice.
"We hear every week from our fans asking what color to wear to each game, so we wanted to make it easier for everybody to be on the same page," director of athletics Scott Stricklin said. "Our fans have been amazing in their participation in creating an unbelievable atmosphere at Davis Wade Stadium and we hope to build upon that even more this year."
Mississippi State will ask fans to wear maroon for home dates against Jackson State, Auburn, Middle Tennessee and Arkansas, while one side will wear white and the other maroon for the Tennessee contest. Against both South Alabama and Texas A&M, the athletic department will encourage the crowd to wear white.
"There's no doubt that our fans have created a home field advantage for us with 16 consecutive sellouts," head coach Dan Mullen said. "When everybody is wearing the same color it just shows the unity we have, that everybody is pulling in the same direction."
For the Nov. 3 contest against Texas A&M, the first time ever the two teams will play at Mississippi State, the Bulldogs will wear special white uniforms to commemorate the last meeting between the two Land Grant institutions. In December 2000, Mississippi State won a 43-41 overtime battle in what became widely known as the "Snow Bowl," and head coach Jackie Sherrill and members of the 2000 team will be recognized at the game.

My first day. I am still working on the rules. Does 6 books count as 6 days or one? I decided one. I have some anxieties about this project. Will I run out of stuff to toss? I am not a hoarder or a clutterholic. I don't have every surface filled with junk. But judging by my rummage sale spending spree last weekend, stuff does come into this house at a steady rate and surely, stuff needs to go out too.
Will I run out of steam? Will it take too much time? Will it achieve what I want – to release things out into the universe we no longer need?
I'm hoping it will provide a pictoral history of our history. Could this be my version of scrapbooking? Maybe. Am I just weird? Quite possibly.
Hmmm, we'll see. But for now, let's go. See where this takes us.

Comments about BCBGMAXAZRIAGROUP Runway Cassius Wedge Sandal:
I was on the fence whether or not to order these because the last thing I need is another pair of black shoes, however I couldn't help myself after seeing all the pictures and all the outfits these go with online. I finally ordered them, and I am beyond excited about them. They look so much better on me than they do on most of the models online. There is none of that looseness in the straps or toe area that you see on the model. These do run at least a half size small however, maybe even a whole size - so keep that in mind when ordering. I am usually a solid size 5 and ordered a 5 1/2. At first I thought I would have to send back for a size 6, but I wore them around the house and the leather stretched nicely and now they mold to my feet and are not tight feeling. They look AMAZING on and make my legs look long and lean. They are a lot lighter in weight than I thought they'd be, which is an extra plus. So happy with the black ones, I just ordered the natural colored pair as well.

8 London cyclists killed by HGV/LGV/lorries 2008
26.09.08 by Buffalo Bill
I earlier reported that the London Cycling Campaign figures showed 9 of 10 London cyclists deaths in 2008 were the result of a collision with a lorry. I just received this email from Charlie Lloyd, the source for those figures.
I think we can correct the 'unofficial' figures down a bit. It should be 8 lorry deaths out of a total of nine. I got the figures wrong because the Spanish guy run down on Kensington High street was not killed, as first reported. Also the killing of Lisa Pontecorvo on Holloway road is likely to be recorded as a pedestrian death, she was wheeling her bike in front of the lorry when it drove over her. I count that as a cyclist killed by a lorry but it probably won't turn up in the official count.
Just to clarify: of 9 cyclists known to have died in London so far in 2008, 8 were killed by collisions with lorries.
How many of those deaths could have been avoided by cyclists obeying the rules of the road?
— TDF 26 September 2008, 10:20 #
how would you feel being shot and killed in america when you didn't own a gun yourself?
— footlong 26 September 2008, 11:14 #
TDF you're either a naive, clueless idiot or a shit-stirring idiot. Or perhaps both. You don't know whether any of those 9 dead cyclists were obeying the rules of the road or not, so your question is a pointless one.
— Lee B 26 September 2008, 11:22 #
I always thought TDF meant Tour de France but apparently it now means Totally Dumb Fuck
— will 26 September 2008, 20:02 #
I am second guessing, but I think TDF was making the point that probably none (or very close to none) of the deaths were caused by breaches of the highway code by the victim.
Given that the Police seems to have intensified ticketing of red light jumping lately, it is an important point.
— Andrea 27 September 2008, 01:50 #
I'm sending these videos to Transport For London. What good this will do I don't know.
— Kev 27 September 2008, 10:29 #
TDF, read any of the reports of the deaths? Didn't think so. Not only are you ignorant, but you are not even brave enough to put a real name on your post. Only a coward would not sign a note besmirching, without any evidence whatsoever, a dead person. So low, you look up at worms.
— Bill 27 September 2008, 19:37 #
We should bombard Tfl with our videos of bad driving and black spots that we come across regularly. Maybe they'll take notice. I simply rubber banded my mobile to my handlebars!
— Kev 27 September 2008, 22:26 #
Kev – loved the videos. Maybe we should create a video map of London showing examples of poor driving? What I really struggle with though is why this happens. Is it poor road layout, inadequate information about how to share a road with cyclists, lack of punishment for things like driving in a cylce lane, stopping in an ASL etc or something else? I mean, I think most drivers try to obey the laws of the road and don't deliberately cut-up cyclists, surely? It feels like it's ignorance rather than malicious anti-cycling driving.
Having said that, a friend of mine recently witnessed a cyclist narrowly avoiding going under the wheels of an HGV. The HGV driver had overtaken and immediately turned left into a side street. When confronted, the HGV driver's reaction was along the lines of "mind your own business, he's alright, what's your problem?"
Did he do it because he hates cyclists, or because he is stupid/lazy/arrogant, or did he genuinely not see the cyclist and just felt embarrassed and defensive when he was confronted?
