According to Federal Reserve Board statistics comparing the five-year period from 1980 to 1984 to the most recent five years, Americans have increased their mortgage obligations by 25% and consumer debt by 24%. Not only have homeowners increased their debt, but, also, the percentage of home owners with mortgages who borrowed money using a home equity loan nearly doubled from 6.7% in 1998 to 12.4% in 2007. Similarly, there was a large increase in those who refinanced their home and reduced their home equity to obtain cash — the rate rose from 9.8% in 1998 to 14.3% in 2007, a 46% increase.[1]
Americans' borrowing was not limited to home mortgages and home equity loans. In 2000, there were 159 million credit card holders with a total of $680 billion in outstanding debt. Experts project that there will be 181 million credit card holders in 2010 with $1.177 trillion in outstanding debt. About half of these cardholders carry no debt, but, for those who do, the average outstanding debt for households was $10,679 at the end of 2008. One year earlier, that average was $10,637 (Nilson Report, 2009).
To make matters worse, recent history indicates that Americans do not save. In the 1970s, the average personal savings rate was 9.6%. For the 40 months between January 2005 and April 2008, the personal savings rate averaged 1.8% (Cashell, 2009). Among the contributing factors for the high debt and low savings rate in the U.S. are higher credit card interest rates, higher cost of education loans, unregulated and abusive mortgage lending practices, and a lack of inflation-adjusted income growth among many employees.
Considering the current financial crisis and the trends illustrated by these facts, it is more important than ever for employees to make wise financial decisions. Many of these financial decisions, for example, choice of health insurer and retirement planning, are made with the assistance of employers. Over 70 million adult workers in the U.S. are employed by a public institution or a private corporation with more than 500 employees (BLS). The leaders of these institutions and corporations are in a unique position to assist their employees in making wise financial decisions. There is a greater need than ever to understand how and why employees make financial decisions, especially suboptimal ones.

Chapter 6Mature
Chapter 6
I still don't know what to make of the letter. It's infuriating and worrying at the same time, and the worst part is I don't know how he knows my mother's name. To me, it seems like he would refer to her as my mother rather than her actual name, unless her knew her. It kind of freaks me out, especially with that part in it. At least he had good grammar.
Even though I should, I don't tell Sarah and Parker about me when they visit the next day. I don't tell them about the man in my room either, or that he left me a note. It was nice to see them, though I couldn't stop thinking about the night before.
Apparently, my arm healed completely overnight. I pulled my cast off this morning, sort of by accident, before the nurse came to check on me. I simply wanted it off and the next thing I knew it was on the bed laying next to me. She was confused, but saw my healed arm and told the doctor. I seem to be getting very strong, very fast, and it's kind of terrifying.
I can feel my entire legs, something I haven't been able to in years. Every centimeter of them. After my arm, the doctors took me to get an X-ray on my spine, and we find that it has also completely healed overnight. I haven't walked yet, but I will be allowed to soon. I'm excited. And scared.
The doctors want to run more tests on me, but since there's nothing wrong with me and it's not absolutely necessary, I'm allowed to say no. So, I keep saying that, and hopefully that'll be enough for now. I really need to get out of here soon.
"Julia!" Logan runs in the room out of breath, though it's not from being tired. She's flustered about something.
I quickly shut off the TV and sit up. "What is it?"
"It's Mom–she–she woke up."
"What? Is she okay? Did she say anything?"
Logan shakes her head. "She's fine. I–I told her about you. I mean, about your legs."
"Oh," I say. "What did she say?"
"She had an oxygen mask on so she didn't say anything, but she smiled. She seems confused. I'm not sure what she remembers."
I reach up and pull the IV out with my left hand and turn myself, legs dangling off the bed. That was the only thing attached to me now, luckily. No heart machine.
Logan walks around the bed, in front of me. "Julia, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to see Mom."
"Hold up, you can't just take your IV out without telling a nurse or something–"
"Watch me." I stare at the ground a long time, trying to convince myself to put my feet on the ground. The white floors look so daunting, and honestly, I'm kind of scared. But the day I admit I'm scared is the day I die, so damn it if I'm gonna let her know that.
I gulp, asking, "Well, are you gonna help me?"
She steps forward and grabs onto my right arm. Sucking in a deep breath of air, I slowly touch my toes to the floor. It's ice cold, and I can feel it, causing me to let out a gasp on accident. I can't believe this is actually happening. I set the rest of my feet down and push up with my knees.
The buckle beneath me and I almost collapse, but Logan latches on with both arms and pulls me up. I'm–I'm standing. Wait, what if this is the best I can do; what if I can't walk? What if–
I take a step. I almost fall again, but my legs are getting stronger beneath me. Incredibly stiff, but stronger. So I take another step. And another. And another. I don't realize I'm crying until I look up at Logan and my vision blurs.
"You're doing it, Jules," she says, staring at my legs like they're the most amazing thing she's ever seen.
I'm doing it. I'm walking. My mouth breaks into a smile and I start laughing and sobbing at the same time. I'm walking.
I take another step, this time leaning less on Logan and more on myself. My legs are getting steadier very fast: unnaturally fast.
"Let go, I think I can–" My voice breaks and I have to stop to clear my throat. "I think I can do it," I finish. Logan slowly lets her arms drop away and I move forward another step. I don't fall. I feel dizzy, but I don't fall. I take another step, this one steadier than the last. I'm walking.
"I–I need to go see Mom," I say, wiping off my eyes. Slowly, but steadily I turn around, facing the door.
"Well, hold on a second at least," Logan says, walking around to my back. She grabs the strings to my gown, tying it. Well, at least I have some kind of underwear on, and– oh god. They saw me naked. I feel slightly horrified for a second, but I know that they see that kind of stuff every day so I need not worry about it.
"Thanks," I say, now noticing how thin my hospital gown is. I'd prefer not to go out like this, but I need to see my mom. I gradually make my way to the door, amazed that I don't fall over with every step. Logan stays behind me; I assume to make sure I don't fall. Upon swinging the door open, I find that my room, luckily, isn't near any of the desks. It's pretty much in the middle of a corridor, surrounded by other rooms.
"Where's her room at?"
"This way," she answers. She moves to the right a few steps, but when I go to follow her, I almost fall, catching myself against the wall. Logan holds onto my arm the rest of the way after that, though I don't fall again. I start out slowly, but over time I pick up speed. Some people pass us, but most don't pay any attention, though I few do give us double takes. Probably because they think they're seeing double, which they technically are.
"Here it is," Logan says. Room 162. I grab the handle and yank the door open. There's only one bed in the room and my mother is the one in it. Oh god. She looks like she's going to die. I stumble to her bedside, being drawn in from her injuries. Bruises are all over her body and face, swollen and hard to look at. Her collarbone is especially purple, with her arm in a sling. It must not have been too bad because she didn't have to have surgery, but it has to hurt either way.
Her hair is matted at the top of her head, leaving me wondering how I must look right now, considering I haven't showered since Friday morning and it's Tuesday now. Her breath keeps fogging and defogging her oxygen mask, leaving a thin layer of condensation. Something about seeing her like this is distressing.
"Is she okay?" I ask, glancing at Logan.
Her head quickly goes up and down. "She will be. Like I said, the doctors told me she'll be fine. She just needs a lot of rest."
I grab a chair from the corner of the room, dragging it over to her bedside. Holding her hand–the one not in the sling–I just keep telling myself she'll be fine. She'll be fine. I really don't know what I would've done if she wasn't, and I don't want to find out. I'm not sure I could handle losing another parent.
Even though Dad was never really in the hospital after his car wreck, this experience brings me back to that time and I find myself crying. Logan joins me after a few minutes–not in the crying, but she does that same as I did and pulls up a chair.
Wiping my nose, I take a good, long look at her, thinking about the cabin. She was absolutely hysterical then, and that doesn't just go away after a couple of days. I need to check on her.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"Me?" She looks surprised.
"Yes, you. After the crash, we kind of put off talking about you. We need to."
She gives a small smile. "Well . . I feel a lot better than I did, but I don't exactly feel good. Something about full moons mixes up my emotions and makes me feel weird, and that combined with what I was feeling before just drove me over the edge. But I'm–I'm not going to do anything to myself. Don't worry about that."
"Well, that's good, at least," I say. "But I want to know how you are now. If we need to, Logan, we can–we can let you see a therapist or something."
She laughs loudly. "And what would I tell them? That I killed four people? Or that I'm a werewolf? Either one of those things would get me locked up, or at the very least institutionalized."
"Okay, fine, I get that," I say. "You can talk to me, then. Tell me anything and everything you want. I'm here for you. I support you."
She puts her head in her hands, rubbing her face before settling down with her hands preventing her head from falling down. "Okay, there are some things that I'd like to get out."
"Tell me," I say.
"It's just . . I didn't steal something from a store or do drugs in an alley. I killed people. I murdered them. I'm not sure how I can wake up every day and go about my life knowing that I did that. Knowing that I enjoyed it. If I could–if I could I'd trade my life for theirs, I'd do it in a heartbeat, but I can't. I can't do anything about it, and that's the worst part. Up to this point, all the problems I've had could be solved with an apology, but this? Who am I even apologizing to? They're dead. I can't forgive myself for that. I can't just move on. I don't deserve to live. I don't. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to forgive myself for what I've done."
It's mostly hidden underneath her hair, but between the gaps I can see tears running down her face. I pull my hand away from Mom's and set it on Logan's leg, offering it to her. She takes it.
I want to say something, but it's a struggle to get it out with the ball in my throat. I try swallowing it to no avail. Just knowing that someone in my life has killed other people, it's . . . it's indescribable. And yet, I'm still not mad, or disgusted, or anything else. I know she regrets it. I know she can't stand what she's done. I still love her. She doesn't deserve this pain. At least not to me.
"Can I say something?" I ask, finding my voice.
"Of course," Logan sniffles.
"If forgiveness is what you're looking for, you should know that you already have it. From me. I forgive you. I know that you may not forgive yourself for a long, long time, or maybe not at all, but during the really hard moments, I want you to remember that. I forgive you. I still love you, and I always will. No matter what."
Logan's eyes close and she squeezes my hand. "Thank you," she whispers.
Before either of us can say anything else, something rustles next to me. Mom. Her arm moved. Staring at her, I can see that her eyes are fluttering now, too.
Her eyes open and her head slowly turns toward me. Her quivering hand reaches up and pulls the oxygen mask down. I'm about to tell her that she might need to leave it on, but she says my name before I can. "Juliana?"
"Yes, Mom. I'm right here." I grab her hand. Tears continue to run down my face, for the third time today, and it's not even noon yet.
"Where's–" She clears her throat. "Where's Clark?"
The weight of what she says hits me, making me feel like my heart just fell out of my body. The grip I have on her hand loosens. "Clark?"
"Your father. Where's your father?"
No. She can't really think that–that he's still alive, can she? But she can. She has a concussion, and the doctors did say that she might not remember everything. I just didn't think it would go back this far. I can only hope that it's temporary.
Logan and I exchange a look and I clear my throat, preparing myself for what's going to happen. "He's dead, Mom. He died seven years ago."
"I think–I think you hit your head, and you can't remember. But there was a car crash seven years and he's been gone since."
The beeping on her heart monitor escalates. "No." Tears stream down her face. "That can't be true." Her hand grips mine exceptionally tight considering the condition she's in.
"I'm so sorry, Mom," I whisper. She pulls her hand back, covers her mouth, and starts weeping. I feel like I'm experiencing the days after his death all over again, but for my mom, she really is.
Without warning, the door swings open and a nurse–not mine–walks in. She spots us and her eyes squint. "You're not supposed to be in here right now. I need you to leave."
Then you should've locked the door.
I manage to get out a small "sorry" on the way out, giving Mom one last look before going back to my room.
"Do you think she'll remember it all later?" Logan asks once we're in the hall.
"I sure hope so," I say, wiping the wetness from my face. Not once do I trip on the way back to my room.
Upon opening the door, I find my nurse waiting inside. Mrs. Harrison, according to her name tag that I never bothered looking at before.
"Where have you been?" she asks. Her eyes drop to my legs and her mouth hangs open. "You're–you're walking." He eyes meet mine, widening. "You're walking. You were supposed to wait on the doctor."
What a damn shame, I think, having to bite back my tongue to prevent from saying it.
"Well, it's too late now, I guess." She stares at me. "Sorry?" I offer. Wow, I'm acting like a bitch.
Mrs. Harrison sighs, running her hand over her caramel-colored hair, which has been pulled into a bun. "Whatever. I'll let him know you already did it without him. Also, if we can't convince you to run the tests– which you should, whatever happened to you could be used to help others–then we'll need you to leave, preferably by tomorrow morning. This room is needed for other patients."
"No worries," I say. "As soon as I get some clothes, I'm gone."
"Okay. If you didn't already know, we got rid of the ones you came in in, so maybe your sister can bring you some?" She glances at Logan.
"I already brought some."
"Well, good. I'm leaving now." She walks to the door, then adds, "And go to the desk to check out when you're about to leave. We can't just let you walk out. Dr. Jacobs will need to talk to you, too."
"Okay. Thanks." This time she leaves, her bun bouncing along the way.
Logan grabs her bag, which she brought clothes in this morning, and hands me them. I take them into the bathroom to undress in there, stumbling once but righting myself before falling. I stand in there for a while, staring at my legs and admiring them. I feel like I must be the luckiest person on the planet. No one else is going to randomly get their legs back after being paralyzed. If some way they did, their legs sure wouldn't be working like mine are. It would take a lot of time, a lot of work before they could progress to where I've gotten just within an hour. I don't think I'll ever get used to having them work again.
But what's the cost? echoes in my mind once again. This may not be a gift so much as a curse in disguise.
My stomach looks thinner than I remember. I guess that's because I haven't had a whole lot to eat lately, and now I'm reminded to how hungry I am. I finish pulling on my jeans and t-shirt before heading back into the hospital room, where I find Luke and Logan waiting.
They look at me, Logan's arms crossed defensively, and I feel my heart racing. This is the guy who attacked us a few days ago. He should not be here. What is he doing here? And why hasn't Logan socked him in the mouth yet?
"Julia," he starts, "I need to talk to you."
He takes a tentative step forward and I step back. "Don't come near me." I look at Logan. "Why is he here?"
"Just hear him out," she says. I feel like smacking her, clenching and unclenching my fists a few times.
Gritting my teeth, I turn back to him. "Why are you here? Gonna try to kill me again?"
"No, no, I'm really sorry, please . . just listen." Underneath the bright lights of the hospital room, his face looks washed out and pale, practically shining. But no bruises or scratches from his fight.
I squint at him, my head tilting to the side. "I don't think you're aware of how angry I am at you. What the hell is wrong with you? Who were you waiting on out there?"
"I'm really sorry, Julia. I am. I want to tell you everything, please, just . . . calm down," he says in a taut voice.
"Do not tell me to calm down," I say. "I will calm down when I am good and ready." I pause, then sigh, seeing that he's not going to leave until I let him speak. "Talk fast," I give in.
"Okay. I see that you're walking now. Do you know why that is?"
Not a good way to start, friend. "Do you know why?"
"Because you were bit by a werewolf," he says bluntly.
I shift on my feet a little, staring at him. "Okay, so you do know. Explain."
"That man who bit you–I–I met him. He offered to bite me, but . . but only if I could get you alone. He wouldn't answer me on the why, he just said that, for whatever reason, he needed you. He also said that he used to know you, and he wouldn't do anything to hurt you." I'm taken aback when he says that that man used to know me. What does he mean by that? I don't know him. I know he was the one in my room last night now, from the letter, but I'm pretty sure I would remember it if I knew him.
"The thing is," Luke continues, "is though I did want to be bit, I–I didn't want to do what he said. Not really. But . . the way he talked to me . . . it was like–like he made me want it. Like he . . ." he trails off, his eyes looking up as he searches for the right word. "Like he compelled me. Yet, it still felt like it was my decision, but after he talked to me like he did, I had to agree. We had it all planned out, all I had to do was get you alone for him and then he would bite me in return. He said he'd been trying to do it for around a month but he could never find you alone to do it.
"I–I think he has some kind of . . of powers or something because after he talked to me like he did, I felt different. It was . . . really weird, I don't know how to explain it. But I felt like I had to do whatever I had to to get you alone. So I did. I–I was trying to fight myself the entire time, but I couldn't help it. Either way, it's still my fault and I'm really, really sorry for what I did. I hope you didn't get hurt."
"So . . did he do it? Bite you, I mean," I say. I purposefully ignore the last part of his little monologue.
"No. I haven't seen him since."
I peer at Logan, but she offers no help. "So . . um, has he been following me around for a month?"
"Apparently." Goosebumps run down my skin and I give a small shiver. I mean, from what I read in the note, I suspected he might've been following me, but really? A month? An entire month? How much has he seen?
"Okay," I say, running my fingers through my hair. "Thank you for telling me this. Do you have anything else you can tell me?"
He shakes his head. "No . . . wait, I know what he looks like. Dark hair, really dark eyes, looked to be middle-aged, a little wrinkled, and . . that's about it. I'm sorry. I wish I could tell you more."
"Okay," I say, not knowing what else to say. I still feel kind of angry with him, but thinking about how he acted in the woods, I do believe what he's saying. He seemed like he was out of it, so maybe he really wasn't in control.
"I know this seems like a lot, but do you–can you forgive me? It's eating me up inside and all I want to do now is help in any way I can."
I take a deep breath, then gradually start nodding my head. "I–I do believe everything you told me, Luke. You did seem really weird that day and I don't think you could help it, but . . can you give me some time? I appreciate you being brave enough to come here and everything, but part of me is still upset at you and I have a lot on my mind right now."
"Yeah, yeah, that's fine," he says, backing up a few steps. "I think it's time for me to go now, anyway."
"Yeah, of course," I say, feeling a little bad. "I'll . . I'll see you later, I guess."
He gives me a smile that looks more like a grimace, and keeps on backing up until he and Logan make eye contact. A look passes over him that I can only explain as regret, and they stare at each other for what seems like a long time, with me on the sidelines looking between the two of them. Then he walks out.
Oooookkkkaaaaayyyyyyy. I really hope Elijah and I don't look like this.
"Do you really believe him?" Logan asks when he's gone.
I nod. "I do. I really hate that this all happened, but I believe him. What about you?"
"Yeah," she says, nodding, "I knew he couldn't have done that to me on purpose."
I twiddle my fingers nervously, convincing myself to tell her about the man that was in my room. I should've told her earlier, but I was just trying to push it out of mind. I need to tell her; she's involved in this as much as I am.
"Logan?" I say, and she turns back around from having walked away.
"Yeah?" she says, glancing back at me.
"There's something I need to tell you. That–that man that Luke was talking about . . he was in my room last night. I'm sure of it."
She takes a few steps toward me, her neck arching forward. "What?"
"Yeah, um," I begin, rubbing my neck, "I woke up and saw him leaving. He–he left me a note."
She just stares at me with a blank face, probably steaming underneath. I hurry up and walk around the side of the bed, grabbing the note from under the pillow where I hid it earlier.
"Here." I hold it out for her and she snatches it out of my hand, reading it with determination.
When she gets done, she looks up at me, arching her eyebrows. "And why did you not show me this immediately?"
"I'm–I'm sorry," I say. "I don't know why. I was just freaked out. I'm sorry."
I see her jaw clenching, but she must restrain herself from yelling at me. She brings the letter back up, taking another look. "What is this 'Holland' thing about? Does he know Mom?"
"I don't know, but it kind of sounds like it, doesn't it?"
We visited Mom some more, and the doctor came and talked to us about the tests. He tried one more time to convince us, but Mom didn't really give a crap about anything then, so she left it up to me. I, of course, said no. He was extremely disappointed, but let us sign a waiver and then I was free to go.
We stayed with her for a few hours, until she went back to sleep, and during that time she told us that we needed to get back to school as soon as we can. By Monday, at least, which I'm cool with.
Right now, I'm sitting on a concrete ledge outside, waiting for Logan to come out. She forgot her bag and went back to get it. There's a girl sitting about five feet to my right, on the same ledge I am. Even sitting down, I can tell she's tall. Her hair is blonde, similar to mine but with a darker shade. She's staring down at her legs, just watching them swing back and forth, like she's down in the dumps about something. Since I have time to waste, I decide to talk to her; see what's wrong.
"You waiting on someone?" I ask, smiling cautiously. When she looks at me, I can't help but feel . . feel like I've seen her before. Green eyes, slim nose, freckles spread around her nose and cheeks. I don't know; she just seems familiar.
"No, not really," she says in a silvery voice. "I just got tired walking–walking home and decided to sit down for a while." She looks at me a little harder, her head moving forward. "You're Julia, right? Or Logan?"
"Um, yeah, Julia. How do you know who I am?"
"We go to the same school. So what are you doing here?" Ah, school, that must be it. I've probably seen her in the halls or something.
"Oh, my mom's in the hospital." Her eyes widen and I hurry to continue. "Yeah, we were in a car wreck. We'll be fine though. Do you live far away or something? For you to be tired, you know. Do you need a ride? Actually, why am I offering you a ride? I don't have a car."
She laughs. "Not exactly." She rubs her ear anxiously. "I don't really . . have anywhere to go. I mean, I do have a–a tent that I've been staying in, but . . . I didn't feel like going all the way out there today."
"Wait," I say, "hold up. Where are your parents?"
She scoffs. "Please. I haven't seen them in years. My dad died when I was a baby and my mom left me two years ago. I've been on my own since then. But I know how to take care of myself. I'm just a little worn out, that's all." She sighs and rubs her face. "I'm sorry. I don't know why I'm telling you this. Please, don't tell anybody what I said–"
"You don't think that I'm actually going to let you stay here, do you?"
"I kinda did."
"Uhhh, no way. It's dangerous and you need somewhere to stay. An actual house." I hop off the ledge. "C'mon. You're coming home with us."
"Us?" she asks.
"Me and my sister," I explain. The girl hops down next to me. "What's your name, anyway?"
"Tiffany," she answers. Tiffany. That–I've heard that before. Where have I heard that before?
"Hey, Julia–" Logan comes walking up behind me, stopping when she sees the girl–Tiffany. "Who's this?"
"Her name's Tiffany," I say. "She's coming to stay with us."
Logan's eyebrows go up. "What now?"
"Yeah," I say. "She doesn't have anywhere else to go. She's gonna stay with us for a while."
"Julia, I'm not sure Mom's gonna–"
"It'll be fine," I say. "We'll convince her."
Logan glances at Tiffany, then back to me. She closes her eyes, breathing in and out slowly, and I assume she's forcing herself to count to ten in her head. She opens her eyes. "Okay, fine." She looks at Tiffany. "I want to know more about you, but . ." She brings her eyes back to me. "She can come. But if Mom gets angry, it's on you."
"Perfect," I say, turning back to Tiffany. "I hope you don't mine, but we actually got to walk home."
"No, we don't," Logan says, right as someone pulls up in a sleek, four-door mustang, painted silver. An older model, but still very nice."I called Michele."
"Oh," I say, staring at the car. As nice as it is, I don't want to get in it. All I can think about is how normal everything felt when I got into cars during my past two crashes, and, well, those didn't turn out too well. One caused me to be paralyzed. The one I wasn't in killed my father. The last hospitalized my mother, almost killing us both. I can see us now: flipping and banging and screaming as the mustang spirals out of control. No, I'm not getting in it.
"You know what, you two go ahead," I say as they're walking toward it. I gesture with my thumb toward the sidewalk. "I think I'm just going to walk."
"What, are you sure?" Logan asks.
"Yeah, I'd like to get used to my legs again." I look at Tiffany. "Sorry about this." I start walking, though I don't really want to leave Tiffany alone, in case I'm making her feel uncomfortable. Logan apologizes to someone behind me, and I hear footsteps jogging to catch up with me. Michele, one of Logan's friends, speeds away in her car, and Logan and Tiffany appear on either side of me.
"What are you doing?"
"Walking with you, obviously," Logan says. She doesn't say anything else, though I have the feeling that she knows something is wrong and that's why she's walking with me.
We all talk to each other on the way home, asking questions to get to know each other. At some point down the road, a realization hits me, and once it does I can't get it out of my head.
If Tiffany knows me from school like she says, she knows me as the paralyzed girl. So, why did she think I could be me after I walked outside and sit beside her?

As we all know by now, New York Jets' receiver Santonio Holmes is recovering from a foot surgery and will not be ready for the start of training camp. That, however, doesn't mean Holmes hasn't found a way to help out. According to Brian Costello of the NYPost.com, Holmes has been mentoring second year receiver Stephen Hill.
According to the receiver coach Sanjay Lal, Holmes has been helping him out with his technique.
What's good about [Holmes] is I'll give Stephen a technique," Lal said. "I'll show it to him on film and then Tone gives a real-world example of when he's used it. It really does reinforce my coaching. He's been a great help."
Costello also asked Hill if he liked new defensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg's system.
I love it," Hill said of Mornhinweg's system. "There's no liking it. I love it. They're throwing down the field.
It is great to see that Holmes was attending OTAs even when he didn't have to. That action goes a long way to show that Holmes is committed to the team. Besides the handful of games that Holmes played in last year, the lasting image in most people's mind is Holmes coping a huge attitude towards the end of the 2011 season in a game where he was ultimately benched because of that attitude.
The expectations this year are low for the Jets. To be honest, after losing a key player on their defense in Darelle Revis, no one really knows what the expect.

|Sněžka Śnieżka Schneekoppe
Sněžka/Śnieżka (a feminine noun in both Czech and Polish, which can be translated as the Snowy One; Schneekoppe in German) at an elevation of 1602 or – according to the latest Czech measurement – 1603m, is the highest summit in the Giant Mountains, in all of the Sudetes as well as Czechia. It has 1203m of prominence and, standing on the border between Czechia and Poland, rises nearly 200m above the main ridge of the Giant Mountains. This is due to the mountain's geologic make-up: unlike its surroundings, Śnieżka is formed of hornfels, which is extremely resistant to erosion.
In the Ice Age, the upper parts of the valleys that begin at Sněžka cradled glaciers, which results in a couple of fine, albeit lakeless, corries sitting below Śnieżka on either side of the international border. These corries are notorious for avalanches.
Given the qualities of the rock which Śnieżka is composed of, it is no surprise that the upper slopes of the mountain are virtually devoid of vegetation and covered in talus.
As far as the climate is concerned, Sněžka can be called the Central European Mount Washington, especially with reference to the wind speed. The maximum wind speed recorded on Śnieżka was 345km/h in 1990 (Mount Washington 372km/h in 1934).
Sněžka has been climbed for nearly or even more than 500 years! In Obří důl (Giant Pit), the uppermost part of the Úpa Valley, metal ores were mined as early as the 16th century. The popularity of Śnieżka soared in the 19th century when it was the highpoint of Prussia. There are a few buildings on the summit, of which the chapel of St.Lawrence, built in 1681, is the oldest. The biggest is the Polish 'UFOs' from 1976, which used to house a weather station, a mountain hut and a restaurant. But in summer 2016 only a buffet was open on the ground floor. Another building is a Czech post office, where you can buy postcards and similar stuff. The fourth structure is the upper station of a Czech cable car.
TrailsThere are many options, of which the most 'obvious' are listed in the tables below. The asterisked routes are the most interesting in my opinion.

The trail through Obří důl offers excellent views of the more jagged, south face of Sněžka as well as Studniční hora with its corries and waterfalls, whereas the trail from Špindlerův Mlýn runs up the side of Kozí hřbety, a relatively narrow ridge, exceptional for the Giant Mountains.

Nearby HutsNB There are plenty of guesthouses and hotels as well as a few campsites on either side of the Giant Mountains.
- Dom Śląski at 1400m - a Polish hut sitting just west of Śnieżka, half an hour's walk from the summit
- Strzecha Akademicka at 1258m - a Polish hut half a kilometre northeast of Samotnia Hut, 1.5hrs walk from the summit
- Samotnia at 1195m - an atmospheric Polish hut by Mały Staw (the Little Tarn), 1.75hrs walk from the summit
In high season all the huts can be fully booked. If so, in the Polish huts you can normally get a place on the floor.

Red Tape
The area is part of a national park (or rather two parks: Karkonoski Park Narodowy in Poland and Krkonošský národní park in the Czech Republic. You are not allowed to camp/bivouac or stray from the waymarked trails. In Poland there is an entrance fee - an equivalent of approx. €1.40 for a day pass in 2016. In Czechia there is no entrance fee, but be ready to pay for parking, e.g. in Pec pod Sněžkou nearly €5 per day.
In winter (sometimes also in autumn) and the first half of spring, the sections of trails that ran through the heads of valleys (Łomniczka Valley, Obří důl, Biały Jar just west of Strzecha Akademicka hut) and the road that traverses the north face of Śnieżka (blue marks) are closed due to the avalanche risk.

Long day of driving, but lots of fun along the way
... crab for us, but they were out...so they sent out 2 guys on a boat to go get some more!! Talk about fresh :-)
We had planned on heading to another beach in Pattaya, but the traffic was so bad we did not arrive until after 8pm so we never got to see the beach. We just ordered room service and all went to bed. Tomorrow we head back to Bangkok to stay with Dai and ...
... to stay. This is when we bumped into Anton from Finland with the best accent I have heard so far, to the point where nearly everything he said was funny! The three of us spent the next hour looking for something that was less than 500 baht, this proved hard! We did spot a place with a sign saying 200 baht for a room, so after a small scran we went to check it out. The owners were more interested in their phones and handed us a key to go and check out the room. ...

We also rode on the train system which was quite a good experience, the people at the stations were very helpful when we got a bit lost.

So the four of us head out and Pailin takes us to a place on the side of the road that Jill and I would never have attempted to go to on our own. There are no menus, so she asks us what we'd like and then orders for us in Thai. The food then starts being prepared just behind us in a makeshift, outdoor, ...

The Plan
Desiree offered, eyes gleaming, not deceitfully
but happy that someone was finally going to go against the blind faith and lies
of Virtue.
"What do you want help with? I'll do it,
whatever it is, but I still want to know the details."
Sienna told Desiree, slightly firmly.
"That's fair. You see, I want to get my hands
on that big, leather-bound bible in the principal's office. Then I want to burn
it, rip it apart and burn it. But I need a look out and I know those three
idiots who think they're all rebellious will chicken out, or worse, snitch on
me to a teacher or something. I'm not asking you to steal it for me; I just
need you to be part of my plan. You'll just have to do a few simple things and
you'll have earned a day out of Virtue and as much information as you want on
the outside world."
Desiree offered her proposition hopefully but
Sienna was a good judge of character and knew
that there were no second chances with Desiree. You either accepted or you
"Okay. Sounds fine."
Sienna agree, pulse racing. She was about to
break the rules for the first time in the worst way she could imagine.
"Great! I'll discuss the plan with you in
greater detail tomorrow, same time. I've got it all sorted out, do exactly as I
tell you and we'll get away with this!"
Desiree told her, as the bell rang and everyone
dashed in the direction of the school for their last few lessons of the day.

Hello all. I am Whyboy and I speak for the movie.
A difficult film The Lorax was oh yes but that wasn't because that I thought it was worse then the rest. Okay I'm stopping rhyming, if you can even call that last line a rhyme. Anyway, just a personal story but I had many problems seeing this movie mostly due to a lot of work piling up at college that I had to get done this weekend. So, I couldn't see The Lorax last weekend which threw my schedule for a loop. Thus I ended up going to The Lorax by myself after school and overall it was a very enjoyable experience. When by myself watching the movie I was able to really see the reactions that the audience was having to The Lorax. They enjoyed it.
That just freaks me out.
First a recap of all the crap that The Lorax movie had to push through before it even went on screen. The one main thing is that Danny Devito was playing the Lorax and everyone thought he would play the role like he did in Hercules as Phil. You know how he played basically himself nut a centaur. Then there was Zac Efron as the boy, Ed Helms as the Once-Ler and Taylor Swift as… the love interest. Everyone on the internet was screeching their throats off ranting that none of these actors would be good as these characters especially Danny.
Here's the story (like you really need me to restate it), in the town of Thneedville no tree ever grows in fact anything plant related is made of plastic and fresh air needs to be bought from the company running the city Hare Air. In the middle of all this is Zac Efron, playing… a totally interchangeable character, is trying to put the moves on Audrey played by Taylor Swift. Also, just to add if Zac's character is interchangeable then Taylor Swift's character is completely forgettable and stock. Anyway, Audrey dreams of seeing a Truffula tree and like the pubescent mind dreams if you bring the girl what she wants you get a kiss. Zac, with the help of his grandmother played by Betty White, gets out of the city to see the Once-Ler played by Ed Helms. A man Granny White says that knows what happened to all the tress and after that you can pretty much sing the rest of the movie despite a few "Despicable Me"-bits and the Zac Efron plotline… NAH you can totally sing those parts too especially the Zac Efron plot line.
The plot around Zac is entirely standard not deviating at all from "Boy see wise person. Boy learn lesson. Boy beats corporate suit. Boy save day." Even the corporate suit villain isn't even a fun villain. Mr. O'hare played by Rob Riggle is a very translucent villain who earns money by selling the people of Thneedville fresh air for money that creates the plot-hole where does O'Hare get the clean air if the air around Thneedville is all polluted. But honestly no one is there to watch Zac Efron's side o the story and you aren't here to read about that either. How does Danny Devito play the Lorax and Ed Helms play the Onceler?
Let me first say that none of the Dr. Seuss movie adaptations have ever got the main character right. In The Cat in the Hat, Mike Myers played an insufferable idiot who makes unfunny pop cultural jokes and sexual innuendos instead of a slightly sophisticated goofball. In How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Jim Carrey played an over emotional mugging prankster nothing like Dr. Seuss's Grinch who was cold and heartless and wouldn't sound happy even if he was laughing with glee. Now onto The Lorax, the two iconic characters namely the Lorax and the Onceler. Like everyone called out Danny Devito played Danny Devito not the peacekeeper Lorax and Ed Helms takes the Onceler character in an entirely new direction making him more of a naïve kid rather than a greedy faceless business man. There are gonna be A LOT of critics who say that changing the characters this much ruins any sort of connection with the original story and muddies up the actually darker more serious tone of the story and they are right.
The Lorax is an awful adaptation of the Dr. Seuss book. That's just simple fact. The tone of the movie is light hearted and cutesy which ruins the impact of the environmental message, Danny and Ed the way they are playing their respective characters mostly miss the original point of the original characters, and this movie also falls into the "ADD 3D TO MAKE IT LOOK KEWL" trap. All and all The Lorax is a terrible adaptation of Dr. Seuss's book but really what did we all expect? Did we expect the movie to be exactly like the book or even the short? I stopped expecting such things when I saw The Cat in the Hat in a coconut bikini.
I based my opinion on The Lorax as just a stand-alone movie because as I said as an adaptation it sucks big time but as a stand-alone movie I would say it's competent but very weak in every story telling aspect. First back to the characters, Lorax is a gruff and annoying peacekeeper not having much censor for what he spouts out his mouth. Ed Helms's Onceler is now a naïve kid trying to survive in the world of business. His character is actually a lot of fun much like Carrey's Grinch and throughout his company expanding (done through a mildly irritating song sequence and brought on by the most contrived of reasoning) the Onceler does start to act like The Onceler from the book but this is a different Onceler. This Onceler conveys how business can transform someone into doing awful things. Also, a quick note on the musical numbers, the music is competent but generic you won't remember a single song from this movie after the credits role except maybe the Onceler's song "How Bad Can I Be?"
Now time to mention the side characters because quite frankly they take up so much screen time they could be considered main characters. As most of you undoubtedly know The Lorax was created by Illumination Entertainment the same people who did Despicable Me a movie which I loved for two reasons, the anti-hero Gru and villain were both a lot of fun and the minions. The minions from Despicable Me are becoming more and more iconic mascots of their company and they have seeped there way into The Lorax or to put it more simply. The Swomee Swans, Bar-ba-loots, and the Humming-Fish are just the Despicable Me minions in disguise. Most of the time when the crowd laughed is was during when these characters did a minion-esque joke which isn't undeserved. I loved the side characters conveying so much emotion without speaking single world (well except for making noises but no words) is so much more powerful then just having them plainly laugh, cry or whatever.
Now overall how did I like the Lorax? The whole Zac Efron side of the story is very bland and stock not at all interesting. The Lorax isn't the Lorax. Neither is the Onceler. There is pointless 3D. The environmental message of the story is less potent now that this movie gave the Onceler a happy ending where we see his face. Take what you want from that. But the humor is cute, the Onceler and Lorax while not the same as the book do have a good chemistry that makes me start to see the original book's heart somewhere in all this. Much like how I could see the heart of the story in The Grinch. Overall The Lorax is a very competent standard animated film, with beautiful animation, some fun characters (even the very stock granny character that Betty White plays is a little fun) and a simple happy ending. It's just a simple animated movie.

Trying for a collaboration on this one because this is implicitly explictly about me. I never write about myself so directly, but sometimes I'm so frustrated with closed minded people so I write. And since it's collaborative, feel free to write about yourself as well ^o^ We are who we are for a reason ~Be proud of that!
I am who I am
Being that I race

That bred me;
Myself against norms
What is it like Being
What I am?
What is it that I am?

I am on my last pair of Nike Pegasus +28. I love this shoe. Nike have discontinued and the 29's don't feel right. Does anyone know of any shoe very similar to the pegasus +28?
Vomero 7 according to the comments on this blog post:
However, in another thread one member says that the statement that Vomero remind of earlier versions of the Pegasus is not true. May be worth checking out though.
I have 2pairs of 29's that I've rotated over winter while marathon training, I'm not keen on them either. I'm also stuck which way to go, I'm a neutral forefoot striker and the alternatives are not great! Vomero are good, think they stabalise achillies more although not 100%, Adidas SuperNova Glide look good but I believe they do encourage heal strike.

Syrup was always a topic of conversation at the breakfast table in our home growing up. My father, who was raised on a farm in East Texas, made fun of those of us who preferred to only eat syrups which claim to be real maple syrup, but are really just imposters! We grew up eating East Texas Ribbon Cane syrup, which is sort of similar to Backstrap Molasses. Ribbon Cane syrup is made from striped variegated sugar cane grown in the sandy soils of east Texas. The "syrup master" slow percolates the juice of the ribbon cane over low heat to bring out the complex minerality of the sulfur rich soil. The thick, dark, and rich ribbon cane syrup is so complex in flavor that it was definitely an acquired taste and is near impossible to find these days. I really do miss it! When I first discovered 100% Organic Grade B maple syrup, I was drawn to the similar minerality and complexity as well as the high amounts of magnesium, potassium and zinc, all of which are minerals found in sports drinks for recovery. We believe that Maple syrup is by far the most superior tasting sweetener available today, and one of the reasons why our snacks are so delicious and rich tasting. Even our Reduced Sugar Tarts are still lightly sweetened with maple syrup.
Our organic maple syrup comes from our friends at Butternut Mountain Farms, which is a collective of family farmers in Vermont. We are proud that we support these families and the generations old art of maple tree tapping. Chef Ali, who manages our sourcing partnerships for us at Hail Merry, has been to tap the trees with the Sugar Masters of Vermont.
In good health,
Susan O'Brien

Monday Start-Up: Inspiration – A Definition
What inspires you? Where does your inspiration come from? And if you go looking for it, will you find it?
To me, there are two types of inspiration: The long term and the short term. Both you probably will never forget, however both serve different purposes. For example, my most recent inspiration for my current fiction-writing project came from another writing assignment. I had horrible writer's block for a column I was tasked to complete – my one form of instruction was to follow the magazine issue's theme, the apocalypse. I don't know about you, but I usually need just a little more direction than that. However, while brainstorming and jotting down ideas (with a real pencil and paper no less) at my neighborhood hang-out, a concept hit me for a novella. Its backdrop? Why the world ending of course!
The inspiration for the column came a week or so later during a business trip in Chicago. I was on the bus listening to a re-aired interview from On the Media about data and personal data. I strongly encourage you to listen to the segment as it's extremely interesting and sparks a lot of questions and debate. But one term stuck out at me during my commute; it was the term "narcissistic apocalypse". Aha! Column writer's block begone!
Below is a scan from this past Sunday's New York Times Magazine. The entire magazine's theme was inspiration. (I may have to hold on to this issue for safekeeping.) The image below is of the synopsis of the series in one page that I feel encapsulates great short-term inspiration as told from celebrities and artists. And ironically enough, it is quite inspirational.
Now long term inspiration is a bit different. For example, I am inspired by my friends and family, Katherine Hepburn, opera, If on a winter's night a traveler, Shakespeare, Paris and my 7th grade social studies teacher. These individuals, items, places and genres bring out a type of enthusiasm and passion within me that have helped mold the person who I came to be. They also are who and what I turn to when I need a boost or some blanket – wait for it – inspiration. No I'm not striving toward a particular goal specifically. With long-term inspiration, I am just looking for that feeling of utter hope and possibility. And maybe a bit of recklessness.
To break it down, I define short term inspiration as inspiration that comes usually as a surprise and assists in meeting a short-term project or goal. Long term inspiration provides the background and resources for continued passion and drive – an ego boost so to speak. In the tumult that is our day-to-day life, there are moments we all just need to be told we can do it. And most importantly, to be inspired to believe it; now not in a naive way mind you. But rather in a way that is focused and productive. Long term inspiration provides drive. And at the end of the day, it can even be the items of which we place blame when we need a scapegoat to make us feel better about our decisions. We're only human, right?
Now for you. What inspires you? What is your definition? And what was your latest source of inspiration? Please share in the comments! Let us inspire one another.

Sedentary Behavior Changes Possible Through Counseling In Primary Care
"Reducing sedentary time can be done by virtually everyone and requires smaller changes in energy expenditure than meeting physical activity guidelines, which usually entails a complex behavior change particularly for inactive patients," said Kerem Shuval, Ph.D., principal investigator and assistant professor of epidemiology at The University of Texas School of Public Health Dallas Regional Campus, part of UTHealth. "Reducing sedentary time helps promote health and primary care physicians can play a major role in modifying their patients' sedentary behavior, particularly because adults spend many of their waking hours each day sitting or in passive leisure activities."
Results were recently published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
Unlike physical activity counseling, which has been investigated over the years, sedentary behavior counseling is a new term used in this study to describe a dialogue with a patient about the harmful effects of prolonged uninterrupted sitting. The average amount of time spent sitting or reclining during waking hours in the United States is almost 8hours per day, according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
In this study, Shuval and his colleagues asked adult primary care patients whether their providers asked, advised and encouraged them to modify their physical activity and sedentary behavior in the past year. The "5A" (ask, advise, agree, assist and arrange) framework was used to examine these questions.
Study results indicated that within the last year, only 10 percent of patients received sedentary behavior counseling compared to 53 percent who received physical activity counseling. No patients received a plan pertaining to decreasing sedentary behavior; however, 14 percent were provided with a written plan for increasing physical activity. More social support and specific strategies for behavior change were provided as it relates to increasing physical activity than decreasing sedentary behavior. Obese patients were more likely to receive counseling to decrease their sitting time.
"Accumulating evidence has found prolonged sitting to be associated with increased risk for chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes as well as premature death," said Shuval, who is also an adjunct professor at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern) and a member of the Harold C. Simmons Cancer Center at UT Southwestern.
Sedentary behavior has emerged as a new field of scientific investigation due to the detrimental health effects of prolonged sitting, according to Shuval. A number of studies have begun to explore the impact of interventions specifically focused on reducing and breaking up sedentary time.
"Our study provides initial insight into sedentary behavior counseling practices in the primary care setting," said Shuval. "Additional research is needed prior to developing programs to change patients' sedentary behavior." Several countries have already begun to provide general recommendations to decrease sedentary time.

The Tempest Given
Chapter One
Early morning light slanted through the tall window on the far side of the wall, illuminating the bedroom with a soft glow. Out of the window, condensation had gathered as a result from the warm night and cold house, giving the panes a glittery dew-drop effect as it reflected off the rising sun. It couldn't have been later than six in the morning, and this was exactly what Katniss Mellark was thinking seconds after she screamed herself awake from the clutches of yet another horrific nightmare.
She stretched her fingers out longingly to the other side of the bed, but pulled them back, disheartened, as she found nothing. Peeta was probably already at the bakery he re-opened a few years back, kneading dough with his strong, calloused hands into the perfect shape needed for whatever new delicious delicacy he had decided to make. Katniss absentmindedly yearned for his cheese buns, her one and only crave since the pregnancy began. Just the thought of them made her mouth water and stomach grumble.
The bed was becoming too hot. Slowly, she raised herself off and padded into the bathroom. The white tiles felt cool on her burning feet, and the polished marble on the sink felt wonderful on her sweaty palms. Katniss cleaned her teeth, washed her face, and brushed hair with precision. Sighing, she leaned against the counter, hating the boring mornings like these.
At that minute, Peeta threw open the bedroom door with a loud bang, sprinted into the bathroom, and swept his wife up into a hug.
"Guess where we're going?" he asked as he stroked her hair. This must be a joke, Katniss thought in disbelief. Where could they possibly be going? She decided to play along.
"Okay. Where?" she said softly, and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "And why aren't you working?" Peeta released her, but still kept a firm hold on her hands.
"I was a few minutes ago… but I got a phone call. But listen, Katniss, a few months ago Effie contacted me and explained how she had started this new business in the Capitol where they create contests to different places in the districts. I just wanted to help her, you know? So… I… well-"
"You entered?" Katniss finished for him. "And you're saying we won?" Peeta held out his hands.
"Katniss- we're going to District 4."
She touched her fingers to her mouth. "Oh, my God. This is amazing! How long?"
"Three weeks," Peeta responded, obviously enjoying her delight. "We can visit Annie and Finn… and I'm sure it'll be really warm-" As Peeta rambled on excitedly, Katniss couldn't help but notice the way the rising sun's rays played softy across his face, like they were dancing. She held onto his eyes, sparkling with exuberance, not wanting to miss a single word.
As he moved his hands to rest on her swollen belly, Katniss was awakened out of her dreamy haze with a sharp twinge from her lower abdomen. Peeta's eyes filled with adoration as they always did when the baby kicked, and Katniss couldn't think of a better time and place to be right then.
An hour or two later, a sharp rap on the door signaled it was time to leave. Katniss quickly slipped on her sandals, relishing the soft new leather smell and feel on her fingertips. They were new- a gift sent to her from her mother a few months ago. She stood up and stretched until her back smarted and gave shouts of complaint. Peeta was waiting for her at the front door, hand outstretched, and she took it in hers. Katniss had always loved his hands. When he opened the door, Effie Trinket stood at the steps expectantly, clutching a bright yellow handbag the color of mustard. Katniss hadn't seen her in years; the only communication between the two had been a quick phone call now and then.
And now, there she stood in all her flamboyant glory, blinking in the sunlight. She was adorned in a long pink wig that spread across her shoulders and down to her ankles in ripples and waves, in which Katniss noticed looked a little funny on someone that was almost or already fifty.
At the sight of her seemingly long-lost friends, Effie covered her mouth with her hand as if to keep from crying.
"Oh, Katniss, you're glowing!" she squeaked. The woman gestured to the glossy black car running beside the dying grass in the front yard. "We take this car until we get to the train that takes us to District 4. Oh, I can't believe you won!" A familiar jolt of unease passed through Katniss. She hadn't wanted to take another train for a long, long time.
Peeta placed a comforting hand on her back as if to assure her all was well, and that was what prompted her to leave behind the familiar doorstep; taking a step into the unknown.
Hah. Well, I hope you liked the revision of this chapter. Please give a review and tell me what you think! :)

Hello, I am a jobless artist/musician in hard times and have a jilted ex-lover who had borrowed me money ($6000) to pursue my art. I signed a payback note before the economic crash and now he's demanding me to make payments even though I'm jobless and without income. I have not had a job for over 20 years and have no property except for my guitars. He's threatening to sue me from CT- I live in Seattle.I have never made more that $5000 a year and live hand to mouth. He is just being mean because I wouldn't be his kept house boy (he's a priest) and I beg him to understand the horrible financial circumstances of the world (he inherited money and home from an uncle) I've told him that I intend to pay but need time to find a way. He's scorned and mean! What can I do to keep this shark at bay?
The short answer is yes he can sue but the chances of collection sound poor.
You will need to consult with a consumer protection lawyer locally.
1. Start keeping a detailed log of all calls and letters. You should also demand in writing all communications from creditors is in writing.
2. Do not give them any personal information because that is how collectors decide on which accounts to recommend suing.
3. If you are going to make payments use money orders and not personal checks or "check by phone" because if they find a bank account the collector will be more likely recommend a lawsuit the their legal department.
4. All collections are negotiable.
If you are going to settle mark the check "settled-in-full" at the very top back of the check and include a letter explaining you are offering a settlement, keep copies of everything
5. Get written confirmation of any payment plan the agency will accept.
6. Specify in writing all payments will be applied to principle first.

I hope this information and generic advice is helpful.

They registered my car to an address I used to have twelve years ago when I had a different car. They screwed up my lease agreement and had to re-write it twice.
