On November 13th, our daughter Odyssey was stillborn a month before her due date. It's been almost 3 months, and we've decided we want to try again. We also have a 3-yr-old son, Damiion, who's perfectly healthy.
SOOOO many people have said "Oh, no, you're not ready!! Your body isn't healed!! You haven't finished grieving!!" But that's not true. My midwife and other OB/GYN doctor have said that it shouldn't be dangerous for me or the baby, because by the time I conceive again, s/he won't be born until a year after Odyssey. As for finishing grieving.... are they INSANE? We'll NEVER finish grieving!! We're one of those couples that it won't work trying to "heal" before another baby.... we won't completely heal UNTIL we have another baby. So please, if you're going to say anything that even hints that you believe we're making the wrong decision, I'd rather you just keep your comments to yourself. NOTHING you say is going to sway me at all. Nothing. That's not why I'm here.
I'm looking for some reassurance. For moms to say "Good for you guys!! Good luck!! God bless!!"
And then it's gets more complicated.... by the EVIL medication Depo Provera. I wasn't AT ALL informed in the hospital that it could halt menstruation for weeks, months, YEARS even!! I'm sincerely hoping that since I only got one shot, it won't take too long to clear. I'm due for another shot next week, and I'm not getting it obviously. I'm just so afraid that now that we've firmly decided to try again, I won't start ovulating for God knows how long. I'm terrified.
Ok, that's all. Lol. Any thoughts?
(Good luck to ALL the ladies out there!! Many wishes for all of you to soon conceive happy, healthy babies!!)

Nasser Saleh Al Attiyah – Qatar's four-time Olympian
"Having had the privilege of competing in four Olympic Games, I have a pretty good understanding of what makes for a great Games – at least from the athletes' point of view. In days before you compete, you want no distractions. Doha 2020's plans for minimal travel and easy access to training will take care of that. When your big moment comes, the place to excel is an inspiring venue packed with cheering crowds. So I have no doubts about Doha 2020 on that score either. And when it's time to relax, you want to be in city alive to the joy of the Games. Think of the young crowds on the Corniche on a lovely October night... Thanks to all the planning and visionary thinking – even at this early stage of the bid – Doha 2020 is on target to set a new standard for Host Cities. And as I travel and compete throughout the Middle East, I've found that fellow athletes share my excitement at the prospect of a Games in Doha. I've also seen the immense potential to develop a new generation of athletes in this part of the world. Potential that can best be realised by bringing the Games to the region for the first time. It's an exciting future."
Nada Arkaji – Qatar's young swimmer
"Last year I competed in the Arab Games here in Doha. So I know how thrilling it is to perform before a home crowd. That thought kept going through my mind in Lausanne last week. And made me dare to dream about competing here in Doha in 2020. I'll be 25 then. But even at 17, sport has already changed my life. The prospect of the Olympic and Paralympic Games coming to Doha would inspire many more young people like me to take up sport, to know the thrill of competition, to become more than they ever thought they could be. That's what Doha 2020 means to my generation and me."

Period features
Loved the period features in this hotel.
Not sure how old it is but think polished slate floors, oak beams, old dark oak wardrobes, corner cupboards etc. DIY breakfast as good as could be expected, with various types of bread, cereal, jams, yoghurts, fruit, tea, coffee etc. Comfy bed and good shower. Just one tip: make sure you use the intercom on entry. (The door was open when we arrived, so just walked in and it took us a while to realise that we should have pushed a button outside to announce our arrival.) Owner very friendly.
Would certainly use again if we fly from Bristol.

Well what a surprise. England didn't get the 2018 WC; Russia did.
The voting went:
First round: England 2, Holland/Belgium 4, Spain/Portugal 7, Russia 9
Second round: Holland/Belgium 2, Spain/Portugal 7, Russia 13
which means the voting has nothing to do with any technical assessment of a bid but who greases plams the best and who doesn't rub up the corrupt FIFA delegates as much as us.

Two points lad, Qatar were up against Japan/ South Korea/ USA/ Australia for the 2022 bid. It was pretty obvious they were going to win, as none of the others had any chance.
Japan/ South Korea/ USA/ have already hosted the cup, whereas Australia is completely in the wrong time zone, so not even sure why they made a bid for it.
I definitely preferred Qatar over the others - even Fergie backed them. Nice and warm over there too.

'or am i just being cynical.............?'
Not at all. It is perfectly feasible that today's winners use the supply of crude oils below market rate as a bargaining chip in negotiations leading up to the vote.
We all know that the voting system in Fifa is open to abuse and corrupt. When it comes to voting time, it's neither football nor which bidder has the best bid but what can they do for my country?

When Blatter and Platini are removed from thier positions, football as a whole will be better off. And the program that brought up scandal behind the FIFA doors just got some more fodder, because how Quatar got the bid, is an example of money getting put into others pockets. Sepp is a joke, and the process needs to be destroyed and a new one introduced.

I think the problem is others understand how to win a bid and we don't.

ParentingPreschoolers20 Comments
This past weekend the boys and I went traveling with Grandma and (someday) Aunt Kim to visit my other brother's family.
How to entertain the boys during our travels?
I packed bags of activities to do!
- Imaginets (this link as well as others that follow are affiliate links)– a magnetic white board case with magnet shapes to create. (Included some of Henry's Crayola washable markers that easily wipe off with baby wipes.)
- I Spy Bottle for either of the boys to find hidden shapes and letters in the rice.
- Stickers and construction paper.
- Portable DVD Player with a couple DVD's – I don't own a portable DVD player, so I checked one out for a week from my local library!
- Little toys that Henry packed in a small bag.
- Special snacks (like chocolate milk and trail mix).
- Travel Lap Tray for eating snacks and playing.
- Most importantly: Extra adults to play with the kids in the back. (Minivan needed.)
We also played a version of I Spy – we looked for semis! Henry chose a color of semi for each of us to look for, then we counted them. This ended up being more of a game for the adults than it was for Henry – he just liked to point out the semis (which was constantly, by the way).
Most of these ideas came from my Facebook crowd when I posed the question of what to do while traveling on a long road trip.
Other comments on activities for traveling (I couldn't take everything along):
Fill every week with activities using the planner.
Receive access to the free activity planner and keep the fun going! You'll also receive activities every week in your email. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Do you browse Pinterest and pin activities......but find that you never actually do them with you kids?
I created these activity plans that are actually doable and a super quick way to be more present with my kids.

DEFINITION of 'Postnuptial Agreement'
A contract created by spouses after entering into marriage that outlines the ownership of financial assets in the event of a divorce. The contract can also set out the responsibilities surrounding any children or other obligations for the duration of the marriage.
Also known as a "post-marital agreement" or "postnup".
BREAKING DOWN 'Postnuptial Agreement'
Similar to a prenuptial agreement, postnuptial agreements allow a couple to alleviate tension caused by financial concerns. Entering into this style of contract will allow spouses to establish an equitable distribution of assets if the marriage dissolves.
Marital agreements, including postnuptial ones, are often considered taboo. Critics argue such contracts indicate the couple expects the marriage to fail. However, if a contract can remedy financial discomfort, the couple could choose to enter into an agreement in hopes of keeping marital harmony.

Az Phil,
I am planning another trip to Fitch in the Spring. Can you tell me when the minor lge players will report? I know they report in seperate groups. Also, when will the minor lge games begin? Thanks.
HAGSAG: The minor league ST games (versus other organizations) should start on Saturday March 16th, with two of the four minor league "groups" (AAA, AA, Hi-A, annd Lo-A) being home (one at Fitch Park Field #2 and the other at Field #3) and two on the road most every day. They usually start the games at 1 PM, but sometimes they start earlier without advance notice. The Cubs minor league road games are usually played at either the Scottsdale Indian School Park Complex (SF), the Tempe Diablo Park Complex (LAA), or the Phoenix Papago Park Complex (OAK), but last year the Cubs made one road trip out to the Phoenix Maryvale Complex (MIL). The Cubs minor leaguers don't play ST games versus the teams that have their bases in Tucson, Peoria, or Surprse, although the big leaguers do.
Sometimes the Cubs minor league groups will play intrasquad games with one another (the AAA "group" versus the AA "group and the "Hi-A group" versus the "Lo-A" group) instead of playing games versus another organization, but if they do that, it would most-likely be on a Saturday (3/23 and 3/30) and the games would be played at Fitch Park, probably with an early start time. There will also probably be intrasquad games at Fitch Park on Thursday March 14th and Friday March 15th, too (a day or two prior to the first minor league ST games).
Az Phil, Do the minor

There was a comment by
There was a comment by Crunch about two threads ago at http://mvn.com/mlb-cubs/?comments_popup=1284#... -- Comment # 41, I believe -- regarding the Cubs center field situation next year:
"pie/fuld/infante…scarey given pie's winter…a little less scarey given fuld's winter…"
I recall that Bill Madlock had a tough time in the Dominican Republic winter league (played for the Santiago team, I believe) the year prior to his rookie year with the Cubs -- and ended up batting .313, .354 & .339, garnering two batting titles before getting traded for having the temerity to demand.
Oh, I recall this because I remember a mid-70's article in Baseball Digest on Madlock where he mentioned his reaction to getting booed by the local fans. He responded by forcefully thrusting his left arm, bent at the elbow, into the air - a move he referred to as "the Santiago salute". He also said that he was tempted early on to give the same salute to booing Cubs fans in his first year but resisted the temptation. Evidence that Jacque Jones' treatment wasn't entirely unique to this era of Wrigley Field fans. There's just more of them around to do it nowadays.
The Dominican Republic's website confirms Bill Madlock played there (http://www.dominicanaonline.org/Portal/englis...) but they fail to make any mention of his "Santiago salute".
Sorry for the late follow up -- busy with the family on Thankgiving, etc.

Re : 6
...before getting traded for being a black man and having the temerity to demand a big raise and a multi-year contract. Owner P. K. Wrigley didn't cotton to assertive black men on his baseball team. Ironically, he was traded for Bobby Murcer, a white player who was given a contract very similar to the one Madlock demanded but who was a HUGE disappointment.

Cordero to the Reds is a win-win for the Cubs. Cincy would have been better off using that money on a 3/4 rehab starter (Clement, Colon, Garcia) and a set-up guy for Weathers. Granted if Jared Burton can pitch in 08 how he did in August and September they might have a really strong back end of the pen, but in 40% of their games that wont make a difference because their starter will be hit hard. The Brewers now have to turn to Mota or Turnbow to close and both of them are about as mentally stable as Heather Mills.

"And the FA frenzy… how do we know that Bonds is going to go unsigned?"
Because no team is going to sign a 40+ year old who is limited to being a hitter that is a pre- maddona and facing a federal indictment and when the feds win something like 85 percent of their cases. I have a bigger problem with Arod being counted as signed, when he describes his contract negoations in the bottom of the 5th. Even though I think he will end up their.

"Pre-Madonna" hahahaha.
Sorry, had to do it. And kudos to Neal for the awesome joke.
Actually, if I were the
Actually, if I were the Brewers, I'd at least attempt a trade for Dempster. There just aren't that many available closers in the open market -- they could easily offer a couple of C+ prospects and to pick up the remainder of Dempster's contract and Hendry would deal him to them.
Pipe dream. But doesn't Hart for Dempster and Murton sound sweet?

Way too much $$$ indeed.
Way too much $$$ indeed. Some more lookin' at F. CORDERO
As we all know, he had severe Home/Away splits last year but he also was pretty damn mediocre pitching in non-dome stadiums like his new one Great America Park.
16 Saves/16 Save Opps, 0.44 ERA, 6 hits in 20.2 innings
28 Saves/35 Save Opps, 4.22 ERA, 46 hits in 42.2 innings
Considering the trouble Cordero had with the Cardinals (11.57 ERA) and Cubs (6.23 ERA) --two teams the Reds need to beat--- and the fact that this year he will be facing the Brewers instead of Reds (3.86 ERA) it's hard to envision Cordero having the same kind of year he had in 2007or being much better than David Weathers (33/39).
Last year the problem wasn't Weathers, it was the rest of pen. The only other pitcher with a save was B. Bray and he had 1. Ten other Reds pitchers combined to go 0/22 in save situations last year.
On the other hand, the Brewers are going to get some "what goes around comes around" when the Reds play them in Milwaukee.
Cordero is going to be 33 next May. Prior to being traded by Texas to Milwaukee he had already started to look like a guy heading to the downside of his career.
Last three seasons or partials with Texas
2005 -- 3.39
2006 -- 4.81
..the switch of leagues in 2006 seemed to restart the clock
2006 -- 1.69
2007 -- 2.98
2008 -- 4.00?
I think this trade really helps the Cubs. It weakens the Brewers and if Cordero has anything less than a stellar year after shaking them down for that fat contract the boobirds will be out in Great America Park.
Four year 40+ million deal
Four year 40+ million deal for a closer in a middle-market team? It's a bad deal no matter who it is. Anything above two years at say $8 million per for Coco was loco.
We can discuss how Cordero
We can discuss how Cordero is overpaid all day long, but the fact is, if the Reds can find another SP, they are a contender in the Central.
This news definitely helps us out with the Brewers, but I sure felt better about the Reds when David Weathers was their closer, rather than 8th inning set-up man.

CRUNCH: Alessandro Maestri is a lot like Michael Wuertz, in that he has a plus-slider that he uses as his "out" pitch, with a 91 MPH fastball that is more of a "show me" pitch.
I would say that if he stays healthy, Maestri (like Wuertz before him) has a definite future as an MLB middle-reliever. He can pitch two innings at a time, he throws strikes, and he can pitch just about every day.
BTW, I don't know if Maestri's slider is necessarily the best one in the system, but it's very good.
I have seen some reports
I have seen some reports with Maestri getting his fb up to 94, mostly 90-93 and average about 91-92 with a good slider like they said in Baseball America.

J. Santana is another pipe dream as far as coming to the Cubs. We don't have any stars that aren't under no trade clauses and I doubt the Cubs prospects aren't enough compared with what the Yankees and Dodgers have to give.
Hendry needs to sign Fukudome or engineer a trade for Crawford that wouldn't cost Hill or Marmol. Besides, the team they leave Arizona with won't be the team they have at the trade deadline or Sept. 1st anyway.

Cabrera is a really nice outfielder, but the hitting... not so much. I'd be suprised if people in ML organizations covet him as much as the average sportswriter thinks they do.
If the Rays are really talking about moving Young, Hendry should try to get in on that, even if he does stand at the wrong side of the plate. 10 years of Pie and Young in the outfield would be fun.

"Kerry Wood seems unlikely to re-sign with the Cubs, who then would pursue a proven reliever to replace him. "
This makes me sad in two ways. First, he's still my favorite Cub and as a fan I don't want to see him go, even though as a GM I wouldn't give him a 3 year $15 million deal. This is a guy who was one throwing session from retiring last year. The second thing is that we don't need to replace him. With Weurtz, Howry, Marmol and probably Dempster and a couple of minor leagures waiting in the wings we have enough right handed late game options.
I haven't had a chance to
I haven't had a chance to comment on the recent news coming from the North side of Chicago. I was on a 10-day Panama Canal cruise (don't take Princess Cruise lines unless you are 55+) and then Thanksgiving, so it has been awhile and I am sure you all are chomping at the bit to hear my takes and rip them, so here they are:
- McDonough Leaves the Cubs - We hardly knew ya. Oh well, not a big loss, as from what I have read, Crane Kenney was the guy making all the real decisions anyways. McD was just a figurehead to appease Cubs fans to make them feel like a "Cub" was in charge after McPhail left. But the BEST thing to come out of McD leaving is that Hendry is now out of buddies to continue to let him slide. That means that very likely this will the last year for Hendry, if he even makes it that long. Woo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-White Sox land Orlando Cabrera for Garland - Nice trade for the White Sox. That's the second top tier SS to be traded this offseason that we could not land. And we had a cheaper, yet basically equal version of Garland in Marquis that we could have traded.
- Hendry finally dumps JJ - But we get stuck with another no hit middle IF and have to pay almost half of JJ's salary next year to boot. It is good to see that Hendry finally admit we couldn't get anything for JJ and he just wanted him gone and dumped him, but this move doesn't help the team any. Let's hope there are some trades that happen at the Winter Meetings or this offseason could be a pretty bad one.
Garland = Marquis? hmmm.

Garland: 207 IP, 4.41 ERA, 1.368 WHIP, 106 ERA+

Garland is most definitely the better pitcher, especially when you factor in the league differences.
Now... I am not sure that he is 5+ million dollars better (their salary differences in 2008), but he is better.

Marquis: 68-61 (.527), 4.56 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, $6.375 million 2008 salary and signed for $9.875 million in 2009.
Unfortunately it doesn't
Unfortunately it doesn't amaze me anymore BB, but the good thing is all of Hendry's buddies are gone and now he has to stand on his own. Hopefully new ownership sees the light and finally gets rid of him.

Ha... so much for 3/15.
I still don't get how anyone could believe that Kerry Wood, who has pitched a total of about one healthy month in the last few years, would get a 15 million dollar deal.

Addy really has trouble breaking through .250 BA -- after his hot streak got him to .251, he has gone 1-for-17.
Thank goodness for Jansen's 2 WP on Friday -- otherwise this would have been a sweep.
There seems to be a direct correlation with overconfidence in the Cubs offense against mediocre/young pitchers and really poor offense against mediocre/young pitchers. So, let's fear the Pirate pitchers!
Rizzo due for a power surge -- one HR in August so far. He truly does hit them in bunches.
Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Cahill as maybe I should be. There, I said it.
Rough 8th inning all around -- HBP, Cahill error, Javy's poor decision.
Oh well - given that the Cubs didn't look like they were going to score, it's better to lose in 9 innings, save the bullpen and get changed for the PJ trip home.
Baez still learning
heyward with his 3rd multi-hit game since the all-star break (all in august)...2nd in the past 3 games during his 7 game hitting streak.
he's gone from flirting with a sub-.300 ob% to nearing .310 ob% in 3 games (1 game was just a 1 for 1 pinch hit appearance). all 5 hits in the past 3 games have come in a row...neat.
stewart with 7Ks through 3ip...of course.
that 10-13 mph difference in his fastball/change is working today...and they're swinging at his crappy slider.
brock stewart...steven brault...fun times for the cubs hitters vs allegedly competitive teams...maybe.
Maddon would have started three lefties against the Dodgers, Montgomery, Zastryzny and Lester, except that he doesn't have the juice to do that. No manager does. Maddon has a boss, Epstein (and probably Hoyer, too), who gave him a starting rotation of five guys including Hammel. Maddon was asked yesterday about the starting group for next year and basically said, Not my call, that's why I drive away in my RV in the summer and occasionally check in, etc.
video of Maddon.
always nice that he actually tries to honestly answer questions. Does mention that he wanted to give Zastr? a chance in a meaningful spot rather than a mop-up role.
from Muskat:
#Cubs Maddon: "I'm not going to make up an excuse for why I did what I did. It has nothing to do with lack of confidence" ... "It was the right thing to do today based on what I saw, what their lineup looked like and Rob Z.'s availability." #Cubs
Hammel not particularly understanding of getting pulled out...as he should. Be curious what Maddon had to say. All I can think of is is keeping arms fresh and maybe wanting to see if Zastr? is worth considering for the playoffs and how he'd do against the Dodgers.
great defense
Heyward, Russell, Baez, Bryant, Ross in particular...although Bryant's a bit hard to judge with all the positions.
Fowler and Rizzo in the top half of the NL for their positions as well (per fangraphs)...Zobrist right at the halfway cutoff for 2b in the NL.
I'm sure some luck is involved too, but the Cubs and Maddon knew what they were doing.
If all the starters have FIP > ERA, is that luck or good defense?

Commuters' wasted time in traffic costs $121B
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – The nation's commuters are adapting to increasing traffic congestion by building delays into their schedules, but at a cost of $121 billion in wasted time and fuel, according to an annual study of national driving patterns released Tuesday.
The new report from the Texas A&M Transportation Institute found that Americans wasted an average of $818 each sitting in traffic in 2011. That also meant more carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere.
The worst commute in the country? Washington. Commuters in the nation's capital needed almost three hours for a trip that should take 30 minutes without traffic, according to the report. That compares to the least congested city _ Pensacola, Fla. _ where commuters needed only nine extra minutes.
On average, Americans allowed for an hour of driving time for a trip that would take 20 minutes without traffic. The total nationwide added up to 5.5 billion additional hours that Americans spent in their cars during 2011.
The institute, part of Texas A&M University, uses 30 years of traffic data, and its annual reports are one of the key tools used by experts to solve traffic problems. Researchers study how commuters adapt their travel plans when they have urgent appointments in highly congested areas based on data gathered from state transportation agencies, private companies and academic entities that monitor traffic issues.
When all costs are totaled, the cost of traffic congestion to Americans was up $1 billion over 2010 for a total of $121 billion. For commercial truck drivers alone, wasted time and diesel fuel amounted to $27 billion.
The latest study also found that after Washington, the most congested cities in 2011 were Los Angeles, San Francisco-Oakland, New York-Newark, Boston, Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and Seattle.
New to the report this year is the amount of additional carbon dioxide that gets released into the atmosphere because of clogged roads. In 2011, that total was 56 billion pounds of additional carbon dioxide, or the equivalent of 380 pounds per commuter.
The statistic "points to the importance of implementing transportation improvements to reduce congestion," researcher and co-author David Schrank said.
The study also determined that Americans burned 2.9 billion gallons of gasoline while sitting in congestion, a slight improvement over the peak in 2005 when commuters wasted 3.2 billion gallons.
Researchers said 2005 remains the worst year recording for traffic congestion, but warn that recent improvement may be directly related to the recession. As the economy picks up again, the study's authors warn, so might road congestion.
The institute notes that every community is unique and requires different, multi-faceted approaches to solving congestion.

Hardy ubuntu 8.04 Base crashes ! on Dell D505 laptop . Originally posted in General Help forum 2 days ago and 0 replies.
While running 8.04 vsn of openoffice.org Base in process of creating a db the computer froze; could move the mouse but cursor was an open hand. Neither mouse button nor any other keys functioned. I tried repeatedly ctrl-alt-delete with no effect. I understand this combination should shutdown and reboot the computer. I could not turn off my Dell D505 laptop. When I closed the lid and now reopened it the screen was blank except for the open mouse hand which was now stationary. By holding down the Fn key and the power button I was able to turn off the computer. Pressing the power button now turned on the computer and Hardy booted normally. My question is what caused the system to freeze? Is Base suspect? Is ctrl-alt-del a valid reboot sequence? Two of my Linux books say yes.

Credit reports and the No. 1 supermarket shopping tip you need to know are popular topics for consumers, along with building an emergency fund and figuring out how much car you can afford.
Here's some sound advice on all of those topics.
• Credit. It's no surprise that a column about credit reports and scores garnered the most reader feedback of the year. That's certainly because credit reporting is not only an important consumer topic, but also confusing and counterintuitive.
For example, common sense might suggest that if you have more credit accounts open, you have more ability to get into debt trouble and not pay your bills on time. But that's not the way scoring formulas look at it.
Instead of looking at how much credit you have, and completely ignoring how much money you earn, scoring systems look at your "credit utilization," how much of your available credit you're actually using at any given time. Using less than 10 percent of your available credit is ideal.
Check your credit reports once a year from each of the big three credit agencies, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. Check those reports for free at annualcreditreport.com, or call 877-322-8228.
Information from your reports is funneled into a formula that spits out a three-digit credit score, a shorthand way for lenders to assess your reports. Credit scores are simply a numerical snapshot, usually ranging from 300 to 900, of what's contained in your reports that day.
FICO is the brand of score most commonly used by lenders, and one you must pay to access at myfico.com. Get other brands of scores, which is fine for a simple check-in, for free at such sites as creditkarma.com and quizzle.com. You will have to supply your Social Security number. Ignore sales pitches for credit monitoring.
• Handing over the money reins. It's never easy to know just when it's time to take away money management from elderly relatives or friends. It's a delicate and emotional subject under the best of circumstances.
Warning signs include piles of unopened bills, compulsive purchases from TV shopping networks, rampant spending on lottery tickets and giving away money to sketchy charities.
Initiate a discussion with the elderly person, and assemble a financial inventory.
That includes names and contact information for the elderly person's financial institutions and professionals, including phone numbers and online logins and passwords.
Make sure that a will and financial power of attorney are current, and know where to find important papers – birth certificates, insurance policies, tax returns.
Consolidate accounts, automate bill-paying and monitor their accounts online.
• Food shopping. Money-saving grocery tips abound. But one reigns supreme: stockpiling. Buy multiples when it's cheap; few or none when it's full price. What's cheap? Half-price.
• Car affordability. As the average price of new cars tops $31,000, many consumers try to reconcile their bank account balances with their desire for new-car smell, asking: "How much car can I afford?" Here are some rules of thumb to keep car costs reasonable.
Rule of 20/4/10, meaning a 20 percent down payment, a loan term of four years or less and payments plus auto insurance not to exceed 10 percent of gross income.
Other rules are stricter: Never buy a new car, pay cash and make sure the total current value of all your vehicles, including boats, motorcycles and snowmobiles, etc., is less than half your gross annual household income. Find current values online at such sites as kbb.com.
• Emergency money. The advice sounds so simple – build cash savings to deal with life's unexpected expenses. But many people don't. They'll say it's because they don't have the money. Maybe.
But sometimes it's because they don't have a good enough reason. Here are a few.
You'll avoid putting charges for "emergencies" on a credit card and paying finance charges. If you have cash, you can choose higher insurance deductibles, significantly and permanently lowering your annual insurance costs.
A robust emergency fund can help compensate for losing a job, bridging the financial gap until you can get income flowing again. Having a pile of cash can provide peace of mind, a feeling of control and options.
For example, if you have no money, perhaps you will decide against buying an airline ticket to visit a sick relative or say no to an operation that could save your pet's life. Having extra cash sometimes means you won't make regrettable money decisions.
• Does loyalty pay? You might think that sticking with your auto insurer year after year breeds good will and maybe even lower rates. But the opposite can be true.
In a relatively new tactic, some insurers are jacking up car insurance rates on loyal customers who, faced with higher rates, are less likely to shop around for a better deal and take their business elsewhere. Insurers call it price optimization. Consumer advocates call it a lousy practice.
The issue will probably continue to develop in the new year, but the takeaway is tried-and-true advice regardless of price optimization: Regularly shop around your insurance coverages to make sure you're not overpaying.
• Paying debt. It's a burning question in personal finance: Which debts should consumers pay off first, ones with the highest interest rates or the smallest amounts?
The answer is highest interest rates if you're mathematically inclined or have no doubt you will pay off all debt. But if you need some encouragement, paying small debts first will give you a feeling of quick accomplishment.
• Insurance. This is another area of confusion for consumers, and a topic that brings irate missives from insurance sellers. Insurance – auto, home, life – is one of the best spending categories for consumers to save money. It requires understanding the insurance and regularly shopping for better deals.
Among the fundamental questions is, should I buy term life insurance or permanent insurance? Here's a rule of thumb: Buy term life insurance.
Only buy pricey permanent insurance – whole life, universal life and variable life – if you fully understand the policy, its costs, its rate of return and exactly why you need it instead of term.
Who needs life insurance? People who have others depending on their work income.

I spent $200 on three parts: GTE fuel Saver, turbo charger, and performance chip. The parts look like toys and none of them work. If anything, the parts will cause damage to your vehicle as it did to mine. If you look at their site, they have the same performance parts for a GMC Envoy as they do for a Lambo Gallardo. I realized that after receiving the parts. I basically gave away my hard earned money and i am furious about it. They also wont respond to any emails and they dont have contact numbers. Some type of justice needs to be served. I wont to do something to get my money back but i dont know where to start.
