Researching B12 I found some fascinating info...
According to a 1988 paper in the America Journal of Clinical Nutrition "There is no active vitamin B-12 in anything that grows out of the ground; storage vitamin B12 is found only in animal products where it is ubiquitous and where it is ultimately derived from bacteria." Also, according to the paper, it was found that Iranian vegans who were strict vegetarians (vegans) for religious reasons did not get vitamin B-12 deficiency. The scientist "went to Iran and found that they grew vegetables in night soil (human manure)" and "the vegetables were not carefully washed so they retained B-12 from the manure rich soil which was adequate to prevent B-12 deficiency."
Doing some research, it looks like there are some nutritional sources of B12 that vegans can use. Yeast, while not an animal, is alive and can be grown to be rich in B12 and incorporated in the diets of vegans. Red Star T-6635 is a nutritional yeast that is grown on a B12 enriched medium and has a cheesy taste and texture of parmesan cheese. Further research suggests it is supplemented with B12 and it is risky to rely on these for supplementation for many reasons. But, there are many sources which advocate that all vegetarians monitor their B12 status and consider supplementation. You can read more on B12 Analogues and Deficiency which suggests all vegetarians get their B12, methylmalonic acid and homocysteine checked to be sure.
But, it's not only vegans and vegetarians who are at risk for low B12 levels. Because ourGFfamily can't eat gluten, meat is a staple in our house--which anyone who knows me well is probably aware of. Despite the fact we all eat meat, 3 out of 4 in our family have been low in B12, which is why I am so interested in this vitamin. It turns out, we just don't absorb the vitamin well and need supplementation. Many people with gut issues and digestive disorders like celiac do not absorb B12 well. Could it Be B12: An Epidemic of Misdiagnosis is a fascinating book with an overview of the many conditions associated with low B12.
Interestingly, according to the paper in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, because of reabsorption it takes about 20 years to run out of B12 if you stop consuming B-12 but "only 3 years to run out and get vitamin B-12 deficiency if one stops absorbing the vitamin." So people who have digestive problems are at the most risk.
Earthsave Canada has this recommendation for pregnant women and children:
"Pregnant and nursing women need to make sure that both they and their newborns get a reliable source of B12 in their diets every day. Babies need it every day because they don't yet have the stores of the vitamin to draw on like adults do. B12 needs to be in the mother's diet every day during pregnancy and lactation to allow for the child's growth and development."

Napolitano to visit Texas, Calif., tour border sites
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano is headed to the border to discuss border security, following a week that saw President Barack Obama and lawmakers put forth immigration proposals.
Napolitano is scheduled to travel to San Diego, Calif., and El Paso, Texas, on Monday and Tuesday to inspect border security operations at the Southwest border, where she will meet with state and local stakeholders, according to a White House release.
Obama announced an immigration plan last week that would not make citizenship for illegal immigrants contingent on proof that the border has been secured a potential sticking point for Republicans — including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
Rubio helped co-author a bipartisan immigration plan with Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and John McCain (R-Ariz), among others, that would link border security improvements with a pathway to citizenship.

What Bee Stings Have to Teach Us About Our Bodies And Weight Loss, The E-Factor Diet Will Reveal
Meet Jared from Lansing, Michigan! A regular guy who, like most of us, was doing everything to lose weight and get healthy, then he got stung by a bee.
Jared had tried almost every diet and eating regime out there. Eating plans from magazines, books, doctors, professionals, he had tried it all. He had lived off salads and low fat food and still couldn't budge the weight; the before and after pictures in magazines and websites were no longer inspiring because it just didn't seem possible for him.
One day Jared came across an article about biohacking and what he learned is that some foods, even healthy foods, can make your body believe it has been stung by a bee but at other times it may not. This was the power of biohacking your body with food, but rather than creating a bee sting effect what if you could create a fat burning effect?
From there Jared created some goals. He wanted to hack his body so that he could:
- Burn fat around the clock, even when sleeping, and
- Burn fat without weighing food or counting calories
Ultimately, he wanted to turn the body into a fat burning machine by taking advantage of the naturally occurring fat burning hormones. Then he would get to exercise less, eat more of the foods he enjoyed and his body would still think that all that energy was being stored at fat.
From Jared's research, he was led to Big John Rowley, that guy you've seen on Fox News, NBC, PBS, US News and even Martha Stewart, is one of the most sought after experts in his field, and helps regular people every day lose the fat.
Needless to say, Jared was determined to meet him and meet him he did.
His first question to Big John, like most of us would ask if face to face with an expert who has helped to create all those success stories, was "what should I be eating?" and much to Jared's annoyance Big John replied "exactly what you're eating now, all those people from my success stories eat the exact same foods you do"!
Thankfully, Big John explained, "it's not what you're eating that's the problem; it's when you're eating it".
Maybe you're thinking right now "but I never eat after 7pm, just like the diet experts say". But that is not what is meant by 'when'. It's about eating certain foods at certain times to convince your body to do the things you want it to do. This way you can make your body work with you, not against you, and lose the weight through real healthy eating.
Big John's method is a 'diet hack' or a weight loss shortcut that uses biohacking concepts. It's called the 'E-factor Diet'. Below is a short review video which will show you the basics about this diet.

New Nokia CEO offers brutally honest assessment of their post-iPhone future
New Nokia CEO Steven Elop, who formerly ran Microsoft's most successful business unit, has written one of the most brutally candid and forthright state-of-the-enterprise memos the mobile industry has ever seen, including an assessment of their position post-iPhone. Their "platform is burning":
In 2008, Apple's market share in the $300+ price range was 25 percent; by 2010 it escalated to 61 percent. They are enjoying a tremendous growth trajectory with a 78 percent earnings growth year over year in Q4 2010. Apple demonstrated that if designed well, consumers would buy a high-priced phone with a great experience and developers would build applications. They changed the game, and today, Apple owns the high-end range.
The first iPhone shipped in 2007, and we still don't have a product that is close to their experience. Android came on the scene just over 2 years ago, and this week they took our leadership position in smartphone volumes. Unbelievable.
He mentions Android's assault and lower priced Shenzhen units as challenges as well. Nokia makes brilliant hardware, arguably the best in the business, but they've been slow to adapt to the capacitive multitouch, app-centric, ecosystem-driven new smartphone world. And their software strategy has been fractured and frustrating. Elop clearly recognizes the issues and plans to start addressing them. Our own resident Nokia Expert, Matt Miller says:
Nokia will be holding their Capital Markets Day on Friday where Mr. Elop will reveal his future strategy. There are rumors that he might partner with Microsoft and release Windows Phone 7 devices or go with Android in an HTC-like multiple platform approach. As a fan of both Nokia and Windows Phone 7 you know what I would prefer. If Windows Phone 7 is brought to Nokia hardware then get ready to see a LOT more writing here on Nokia Experts as WP7 is my personal preferred platform at this time.
Will Nokia go with Windows Phone 7 or Android, try to relaunch MeeGo or Symbian at a faster pace with better user experience, or do something else entirely? And how, if at all, will it effect competition with iPhone? We'll find out Friday.

New Nokia CEO offers brutally honest assessment of their post-iPhone future
It's a possability that WP7 may be part of their strategy. If they feel that Meego isn't ready for prime time yet WP7 gives them immediate access to next generation OS. I don't forsee them abandoning Meego altogether because they have already invested a lot in that platform and they won't want to pin their entire high end business on Microsoft. They will also have to keep pumping out Symbion devices for the time being given how many were sold last quarter its still a huge market.
Really hope that "memo" was fake. Nokia must not kill any thing but the compation if they go Windows phone 7 or Android that is a soaside I am a huge Nokia fan as well as an Apple fan and even I might not buy a Nokia phone with Windows Phone 7 or Android however N9 with Meego that I will save my money for to get off contract because who ate we kidding the network in the US are going to overloaded their software on it like on my pore Nokia E71x on AT&T. Nokia N9 witch is a N8(but with Meego) with a keyboard that OMG looks like a MacBook pro only smaller. Also Nokia can make cellphones radios and a much better browser than Apple. Have you ever seen the N900 that browser is super goodness it has been doing thing that my iPhone browser can only dream of doing like using the full Google Docs and playing all online formats and Flash Games like on a computer.
Dude, I ran out of breath reading this. Commas, use them.
I guess if Palm could do it with the Treo line (Windows Mobile), so could Nokia, whose worldwide distribution network remains strong. Nokia wanted S60 to be the "feature phone" OS and have Meego as their flagship. Nokia does build some kick-butt hardware, and has always been hampered by the sub-standard and aging s60 platform. I don't know if Nokia wants to go totally "HTC style" OEM approach, but an infusion of "new" blood and product lines might be just what the doctor ordered. Now if they can just get that US distribution network going.
If Nokia go with Android they will become another "me too" company and probably hardly make any profit like Motorola (even with seemingly successful phones)
WP7 seems to be too much of an unknown. It has Microsoft's backing and was just released and yet it doesn't appear to be grabbing any Market share.
I'd like to see Nokia licence WebOS. Yes it too is risky, but it has been out longer than WP7 and comes from a similar background to Symbian so Nokia fans are more likely to accept it as a replacement. WebOS is solid but the hardware has been lacking so Nokia could fix that. Nokia would need to go all out replacing their entire smartphone range with WebOS, but instead of making 2 dozen different models they need to make just a few different form factors of world phones that could become iconic like the iPhone.
We need more than just 2 dominant OSes (iOS and Android) to really drive competition and innovation.
Wow. Really shocking but they have been a lot less aggressive than the others. I don't think they should partner up with anyone. Nokia can get back up there.
I like honesty, it is good to see a competitor not bashing the competition,I like my Nokia N8 and Apple iphone 4
Nokia's problem is organizational. People are people and are basically the same everywhere. However, organizations can atrophy. They could have made a great Symbian based OS, but something within Nokia's software development organization is broken. They just can't seem to deliver, even though they have oodles of funds and ideas.
Going 3rd party for the OS is at best a bandaid. Nokia has to fix itself from within.
Not sure what they can do on the low end and mid-end though.
They'll probably go with both. But they'll still alienate the American market where iOS and Android are running wild. US carriers can't even GIVE away Nokia phones because no one in the US wants them. Nokia mostly makes GSM phones, which alienates Verizon and Sprint. AT&T has the iPhone so that really only leaves T-Mobile where people buy Android or Blackberry phones. Only the super phone nerds know what the Symbian OS and there's no marketing in the US for Nokia phones like there is the iPhone or Droid brand phones. So it's their own fault for ignoring the US market and not marketing their phones to the US to get people interested in them.
@ Shrike - "They could have made a great Symbian based OS, but something within Nokia's software development organization is broken."
Palm had similar problems, but far worse. They did almost everything imaginable to prevent themselves from developing PalmOS, other than burning down their headquarters building. They spun off the PalmOS group, hedged their bets with Windows CE, the PalmOS group got bought by a Japanese company, then Palm bought back the rights to develop PalmOS again. In the meantime close to zero development got done. They just kept on shipping variations of the Treo.
Nokia doesn't have those excuses. Their destiny was in their own hands the whole time. They just didn't keep up with software technology, they didn't see iPhone coming, and when it arrived they tried to ignore it. Nokia thought that their relatively slick hardware could carry them over. It won't.
Basicaly nokia has been asleep at d wheel. My 1st cel fone was a nokia.since den i havent heard or seen a nokia fone. Der d dinosaurs of the mobile space. They hav been extinct in america for awhile. Insted of suing der competitors they shud focus on products dat consumers want!!!!!
I think it's pretty much a given that they would go with Windows Phone 7 based on the leaks.
I think that will help WP7 but I don't see how it helps Nokia. If they would have gone Android, they would be able to differentiate their products. Going with WP7 means they will only have to focus on hardware. Nokia is good at that so that's why I think they'll haev success in the countries where they have a strong presence but not in the US.
Some days days ago i was reading some research about the global crises as it afects the global population grouth. Do you think this could be true and couples make less children now in these hard period? This is the place where i`v read the article: freenuderooms.net . I know that now its harder to raise children but really where are we heading to if there are less children born? A civilisation of old people?
I love my life! ;)

- Dependence of aptamer activity on opposed terminal extensions: improvement of light-regulation efficiency (2009)
- Aptamers that can be regulated with light allow precise control of protein activity in space and time and hence of biological function in general. In a previous study, we showed that the activity of the thrombin-binding aptamer HD1 can be turned off by irradiation using a light activatable "caged" intramolecular antisense-domain. However, the activity of the presented aptamer in its ON state was only mediocre. Here we studied the nature of this loss in activity in detail and found that switching from 5'- to 3'-extensions affords aptamers that are even more potent than the unmodified HD1. In particular we arrived at derivatives that are now more active than the aptamer NU172 that is currently in phase 2 clinical trials as an anticoagulant. As a result, we present light-regulatable aptamers with a superior activity in their ON state and an almost digital ON/OFF behavior upon irradiation.
- A tunable strain sensor using nanogranular metals (2010)
- This paper introduces a new methodology for the fabrication of strain-sensor elements for MEMS and NEMS applications based on the tunneling effect in nano-granular metals. The strain-sensor elements are prepared by the maskless lithography technique of focused electron-beam-induced deposition (FEBID) employing the precursor trimethylmethylcyclopentadienyl platinum [MeCpPt(Me)3]. We use a cantilever-based deflection technique to determine the sensitivity (gauge factor) of the sensor element. We find that its sensitivity depends on the electrical conductivity and can be continuously tuned, either by the thickness of the deposit or by electron-beam irradiation leading to a distinct maximum in the sensitivity. This maximum finds a theoretical rationale in recent advances in the understanding of electronic charge transport in nano-granular metals.

For die-hard baseball fans, the season begins in mid-February when pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training and doesn't end until the last out of the World Series in October. Even for a casual fan, the 162-game season lasting six months can be an endurance test.
So two days out of that season may not be anything special, but the baseball gods were smiling last week for the spawn.com sports crew. The week started out with an invitation to Bank One Ballpark for an all-access look at the Arizona Diamondbacks on a game day, and a chance to meet Sports Picks roster players such as Randy Johnson, Curt Schilling and Luis Gonzalez.
Arriving at the ballpark, the crew found its way to the field just as the Diamondbacks were taking batting and fielding practice. Soon, we found Luis, aka Gonzo, and center fielder Steve Finley and asked to speak with them about Gonzo's figure from MLB Series 6. We immediately took the figure from its package and handed it to Gonzo for his opinion. At the same time, Finley, who is a gold-glove center fielder and batting with a .285 average, was asked if he preferred to be made as a hitter or a fielder, should we make one of him. Steve said, "I'd just be honored to have one." (Next year's McFarlane's Sports Picks lineups are not set yet.)
We turned the camera on Luis and asked him what it was like to be immortalized in plastic. "It's pretty awesome, especially the McFarlane collection, because he's kind of the elite," Luis said of his first-ever action figure. "I've done the mini-bobble heads, but this is actually when you feel like you've reached the big leagues when you can get a McFarlane action figurine, it's pretty cool."
When asked to compare his first action figure to winning the 2001 World Series with his bloop single, he laughingly said it was cooler to get the action figure, however the World Series was certainly more memorable. "But my kids can relate to this," Luis added. "My son is 5 years old now, and my wife brought one of these home, and he thought it was pretty neat to see his dad in an action figure to go along with his other action figures. He started to play around with it, then we shelved it, but we now have some extra ones around the house."
Before he headed off to practice, he commented on how amazing it was that his figure included a stain on the batting helmet, right were he grabs it, and that we had the bat with the tar on it, too. Just as the interview ended, pitcher Miguel Batista walked by to check out the figure, and Gonzo commented that he was turning on a Miguel Batista fastball for a base hit. Miguel responded that Gonzo's backside was dirty "because I hit you with the pitch before," cracking everyone up nearby.
Also, Manager Bob Brenly graciously gave a few comments about having his players in toy form. "These three guys are pretty much larger than life, so to see them shrunken down to this size is unusual," he said. "I know Gonzo's got dirt on his uniform, probably hit a double, slid into second base, but I can't figure out how Schill's (Schilling) got dirt on his uniform, he doesn't get on base that often, other than that, very realistic."
Brenly wanted to know where his manager figure was? "You could get that pose where the vein's standing out in my neck after we failed to turn a double play with runners at first and third, one out in the ninth. Make sure you make that vein real big."
The next day, a local TV news crew came to film Todd with his collection of Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa baseballs, now joined by the Barry Bonds 73rd home run ball. It was the first time Todd had seen his latest acquisition, despite being nearly two months since the auction, due to his travel and business schedule and the fact that the baseballs are secured at an off-site location. With the news crew filming, Todd spent several minutes describing the cost and significance of each baseball in his collection. Todd told them he is often asked why he paid more for the McGwire ball ($3 million) than he did for the Bonds ball ($460,000). "In hindsight, had I known somebody was going to break the record a few years later, I wouldn't have paid that much for the McGwire ball. But this ball was a record that had stood for 40 years and the whole nation got involved in the story."
A unique aspect of Todd's collection showcases some amazing forethought by Major League Baseball. During the end of the 1998 home run race, MLB stamped all the balls McGwire and Sosa hit with black sequential numbers as a way to authenticate a home run ball when a fan caught it, with each ball being carefully tracked by the umpires. The ball McGwire hit for his 70th home run was stamped "73," representing the 73rd ball thrown to Mark during the end of the record chase. "Who was to know that three years later Bonds was going to hit '73' home runs, it was an omen staring me in the face the whole time," Todd said. "But I needed to get the Bonds ball to keep my collection elite, to keep its prestige and notoriety so I could say that not only do we have the record ball, but we have the second, the third, etc."
Todd has not yet decided what will happen with his baseball collection, though he has mentioned that he would consider displaying them at the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Time is almost up to sign up for free credit monitoring if your tax information was hacked last September, as the registration deadline is Sunday.
It's been five months since S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley's office announced an international hacker stole 3.8 million Social Security numbers and several thousand credit card numbers and business tax filings from the S.C. Department of Revenue.
To help protect people, the state entered into a contract with cyber-security firm Experian to offer one year of credit monitoring.
More than one-third of the 3.8 million consumers whose S.C. tax return information was compromised have enrolled for a free year of Experian credit monitoring.
Experian's "ProtectMyID" system issues alerts when a credit report reflects new activity, like adding a new credit card or personal loan. It is the responsibility of the individual who receives the alert to determine if the new information is accurate and reflects recent financial activity known to the individual or if it is unknown and possibly fraudulent.
If you are signed up and you believe that information on your credit report may be the result of fraud, membership gives you access to a fraud resolution specialist who will assist you.
As well as the individual protection being paid for by the state, Experian's Family Secure plan is open for registration until May 31. This is to register minor children who may have had their Social Security numbers stolen.
The Department of Revenue is advising those signing up to use the online service, if possible, so as to avoid possible lengthy waits on phone lines.
How to sign up for free credit monitoring:
Online – visit www.ProtectMyId.com/SCDOR and enter the code SCDOR123
By phone – call 1-866-578-5422 today and Sunday between 11 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Apologies to regular readers for the lack of a published post last Friday. PC meltdown in our house, now thankfully restored!
A bit of background for newcomers
Joe (aka 'Mac' to his RAF comrades) was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday until they are done.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In this letter, Joe is 6 months in to his RAF experiences and is wearing his newly acquired Sergeant stripes with pride. He is now stationed at Upper Heyford in Oxfordshire.
Letter 43 – 23rd June 1944
"Same Place.
Dear Mom and Kids,
Hello, how's things?
As you will see I'm in the money! Not too deep perhaps but I've got some!! I'm enclosing £1 which I owe you. Thanks a lot Mom. Let me know as soon as poss when you get it. I shall be on pins and needles until I hear you get it ok.
Hope you've got my letter of yesterday. I put it in a different post box and wasn't sure when it was to be emptied. I'm afraid I can't think of a great deal to say this time after having written yesterday. We haven't done a great deal today. This morning we had 3 hours on how to bale out of a 'Wimpy' (Wellington) after which we spent the rest of the morning mucking about in the planes. Getting used to them and where everything is put. It takes a good while to learn the 'intestines' of a plane and these here are twice as big as the old 'Ansons' we used at Castle Kennedy. It means a new type of dinghy drill and bale-out routine to learn.
Of course we do get cheesed but it is for our own good. So we learn alright!!
I'm afraid that's about all I can write this time so cheerio and God bless.
Love Joe xxxx
P.S. MAY get home on Monday
P.P.S. Yes Den I will have that other book as you press me!"
The dinghy drill and bale out routines must have seemed dull but necessary. Little does Joe know that he will be needing this invaluable lesson sooner that he might think, and that it will save his young life….
To read more about Joe's letters please follow this link. There you will find the full selection of letters to date, as well as more information about his fascinating yet ultimately tragic story.
He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey.

Altvater: BG native Caroline Powers learns from Marathon ClassicWritten by Fred Altvater | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Local product Caroline Powers made an appearance on the LPGA Tour this week at the Marathon Classic.
Powers is in her first year of professional golf and is playing full time on the Symetra Tour. She has two top-10 finishes in 12 starts on that tour this year and is hoping to finish in the top-10 at the end of the season to earn a promotion to the LPGA Tour for 2015.
She was a standout performer at Bowling Green High School and in Toledo Junior Golf Association events before attending Michigan State University.
Powers earned All Big-Ten First Team honors at MSU and helped the Spartans win consecutive Big-Ten Championships in 2011 and 2012.
She qualified for the 2013 and the 2014 U.S. Women's Opens, but missed the cut both years.
Powers shot a four-over-par 75 in the first round on Thursday in the Marathon Classic and then spent some time on the range working on short-iron approach shots to prepare for the second round on Friday.
It is obvious she is enjoying the travel and the experience of playing golf for a living. Golf has not become a job yet for the first-year pro.
After her practice session she commented:
"I love it so far. Every week is something new and different things happen that you have not seen before. I also get to see a lot of new places that I wouldn't get to see, if not for golf."
Visiting a different city and a new golf course every week is an adventure to be enjoyed and savored when you are young.
Of her experience at the 2014 U.S. Women's Open at Pinehurst she said:
"Pinehurst got the best of me. It was a tough track. I wasn't hitting it very straight off the tee and didn't set myself up very well for the rest of the hole. I didn't make a single birdie for the first two rounds."
She added,
"I was excited to get the sponsor's exemption into the Marathon Classic to get another shot at the LPGA girls and hopefully I will be with them full time next year."
One of her cousins, Emily (Bastel) Glaser played on the LPGA Tour and is currently the head coach of the University of Florida women's golf team. Another cousin Nick Myers is the head professional right here at Highland Meadows Golf Club and she has several other cousins and uncles that are PGA professionals.
Golf is the family business.
Powers followed up her first-round 75 with a two-over par 73 in the second round and missed the cut by four shots.
Even though she didn't make the cut at Pinehurst or the Marathon Classic this week, she did outscore U.S. Women's Open Champion Michelle Wie this week.
Wie posted 74-76 eight-over-par for the first two rounds at Highland Meadows and missed the cut by seven shots.
So are the trials in the life of a professional golfer.
Powers will take the lessons she learned this week from the Marathon Classic and travel to Albany, New York, for the SEFCU Championship at Capital Hills next week on the Symetra Tour.
Northwest Ohio golf fans have another reason to follow women's golf. They can follow Caroline Powers' progress at her website and root for her to make it to the LPGA Tour.

By the time that you read this, I will be at home in NC with my family as my mom gears up for some major surgery. It's a big deal. I know surgery is always a big deal but this is serious and it's my mom. If you follow the blog, you know that I talk a lot about my mom.
My mom and I are pretty different. She has Christmas sweaters and gold lame shoes, I wear a lot of black. She watches bull riding, I prefer baseball. She doesn't like the cold, I love the snow. She thinks the city is too loud, I think the country is too quiet. And gasp… she doesn't use Twitter. Or Facebook. Or Skype.
But she's my mom. And she's pretty awesome.
As I sit here, nervously sipping on a coffee (she doesn't drink coffee either, another thing I don't understand about her), I've been thinking a lot about how much she means to me and how much I've learned from her. And I figured I'd share some of her wisdom with you. Her truths are pretty universal – and they apply to tax and finance just as much as they do to life.
So here are nine things I've learned about tax from my mom:
1. Have a plan. When I was a kid, money was tight. My mom knew that she had to budget, so she had a plan. Every two weeks, she made out a shopping list organized by store and aisle (yes, we hit more than one store, you did that in those days). She consulted the sales papers (they came out on Thursdays) and she organized her coupons. At the store, as my brothers and I swung on the carts (the ones that said for kids not to do such things), she quickly and efficiently did her shopping with a chunky calculator in hand, adding up her purchases as we went along so as not to go over her budget. It worked. When the cashier rung up our groceries, there was never a moment where we had to collectively hold our breath to make sure that we could afford what was in our cart. We already knew. The same strategy works with taxes. Know what you can afford and plan ahead. Always review your tax returns after you sign them – don't just put them away – to see why you owed (or didn't) and make any necessary changes for the new year as soon as possible. Adjust your forms W-4 (for withholding) if necessary, especially if you had a significant life event like getting married or having a baby. Make estimated payments throughout the year if you think you're going to owe. If possible – and especially if you run your own business – meet with your accountant on a quarterly basis to make sure that you're on track. You don't want any surprises come tax time.
2. Don't be greedy. My mom is an amazing cook. She makes a carrot cake that's so good it would make you blush – and reach for seconds, if not thirds. But my mom also went to great lengths to remind us that there was no need to be greedy, sometimes one piece is enough. The same logic applies in the tax world. You're completely entitled to take appropriate credits and deductions. The law doesn't require you to pay more taxes than you have to pay. But be smart. Don't puff up deductions or claim credits that you're not entitled to take. Don't stretch the truth. You're just putting yourself at risk for audit. Remember, pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.
3. Neatness counts. My handwriting is terrible. It's always been terrible maybe because I'm always in a rush. But it could be worse. When I was a kid, my mom used to make us practice our penmanship by copying articles from the newspaper. I would complain loudly because I didn't see the point. I was, I would remind my mom, a very good student. And mom would reply that it didn't matter how good a student I was if nobody could read what I wrote. She was right. Neatness counts. Believe it or not, the IRS still counts human error among the top reasons for flagged returns. Rushing through your return can result in mistakes. If you print your returns, make sure that your writing is neat. And if you use a computer program, make sure that you've entered the right info: it's easy to transpose digits on Social Security numbers, wage amounts and even bank accounts for Direct Deposit. Your documentation should likewise be neat: receipts for business and charitable expenses, mileage logs and other forms must be legible to be considered valid.
4. Show your work. I enjoyed math as a kid (I still do) and I was good at it. I could do a lot of figures in my head which came in handy on math team. But my teachers insisted that I show my work. And I hated to show my work because I knew that I was right. But my mom, like my teachers, made me show my work. "How else," she would query, "will you know that you're right?" (For the record, "I just do" was not an acceptable answer.) The IRS is on the same page. You must be able to document everything – from medical expenses to gambling losses – in order to properly claim deductions and credits. Guessing isn't good enough enough. You need receipts, mileage logs and other required documentation in order to substantiate your claims.
5. Be generous. We had more than a few lean Christmas holidays. And yet, every single Christmas, my mom would insist that we do something for a family who had greater needs than ours. I learned very early on that it was important to give back no matter what your own financial circumstances. And when we couldn't give money, we gave our time. I watched as my mom visited the sick, volunteered in schools, cooked for those in need and taught illiterate adults to read. She was never judge-y or preachy. She just did. This is something that I hope I can pass along to my own children. And the great thing, from a tax perspective, is that you can take a deduction for your efforts if you itemize. While you can't deduct your time volunteering, you can deduct your out of pocket expenses. And of course, you can also deduct the value of cash and non-cash items that you donate to qualified charities.
6. Follow the rules. In the seventh grade, a teacher threatened to give me a failing grade on my report card because he said that I had not turned in a final project. I had turned in the project and I told him so. He denied it. And I called him a liar in.front.of.my.mother. She immediately grounded me because the rule in our house was that you don't disrespect grown-ups, no matter what the reason. It turned out that the teacher found my project and I got an A. And I stayed grounded. My mom told me that it wasn't always about being right (which I was) but that I still had to follow the rules. Like my mom, the IRS is big on rules. Pay attention to them. You have to sign and date your return. You have to timely file your return – in fact, dates matter to the IRS a great deal not just when it comes to filing original returns but for filing amended returns, claims for refund and requests for reconsideration. Don't assume that you get a pass because you're right. You still have to follow the rules.
7. Remember that life isn't always fair. Today isn't the first time my mom has spent time in the hospital. When I was a little girl, my mom got cancer (thankfully, she got better). Since that time, she's had some pretty tough luck. Her mom died of cancer. Her dad died suddenly of a heart attack. She got diabetes and a damaged heart valve. And while I was willing to wail and complain about every little thing that happened to me that it wasn't fair, my mom would cheerfully remind me that "life is not fair." And she was right. You might get bad advice. Your employer might screw up a form. You might be the target of a random audit. Bad things happen, even to good people. But complaining won't make it better. Don't freak out and don't put your head in the sand. You can fix this. Open the mail. Ask for help. And know that things will get better.
8. Keep learning. My mom is smart. She's well read. But she's not a college graduate. She grew up as the youngest daughter in a family of eight children in the rural South. Opportunities for girls to go to college were pretty limited; maybe that's the reason it was so important for her for me to finish college. But my mom didn't give up on education just because she wasn't in school anymore – and neither should you. It's true that tax laws can be confusing but that's no excuse for not reviewing your return and asking questions. Make an effort to know what the rules are, at least as they apply to you. Read the newspaper, follow a tax blog, make friends with a tax professional. Nobody expects you to be an expert but you should know enough to be dangerous.
9. Be kind. Thinking back, I can count the number of times that I've heard my mom raise her voice to someone other than a member of my family on one hand (and my brothers totally deserved it). She chastises me for my lack of manners from time to time, reminding me to be nice to people. And it's a good lesson – perhaps the best one of all. It pays to be kind, not just to your family and friends, but to your financial advisors, your attorney and your tax professionals. They're trying to help you, remember? And that IRS rep? The examining agent? The Revenue Officer? Just doing their job. Starting out on a bad note won't help you and will likely just make things worse. Take a breath. Remember rule #7. Smile. It will get you further than you think. Trust my mom on that one.

Rated 4.9 out of 5Â by 11 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cjordan THESE BOOTS ARE GORGEOUS!! These are the most comfortable beautiful boots. wear them with leggings, jeans, skirts, everything. Loads of compliments. If you are considering them, get them, you wont be sorry. 7.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by samishoes1 POP POP POP!!! Without the eye popping design it would be just your basic boot. I love the look of these! The color combo to the embellishment added to the heel! Perfect for those jazz me up outfits! The size fits to the T...especially for wide feet, they are comfy! I'm hoping to get the black ones too! 6.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by orchid art deco cowboy combo I waited for this boots to go on sale and so wanted the black, couldn't imagine wearing metalllic but ended up with the metallic - they are stunning. More than that, they are comfortable and stunning. I know FP show a lot of boots and sneakers being worn with dresses, which I like but not all of us are models and the sneaker/boot thing may not work. These work perfect, they go with almost everything. I was a little confused by the description. The metallic/nude is actually leather with PVC metallic over it. Am hoping the PVC ages as well as the leather!! The heal is perfect too- no high arch and no slipping! 5.23.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CelesteAudette Pure Perfection I adore the nude/bronze color and pointier toe that makes my legs look longer (I'm 5'3")! I'm wearing these with everything this summer, especially my delicate white mini-dresses. I ordered a half size up because I decided I like extra room in these styles of boots and they fit well. 4.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by audie So Cool!! I bought the black/white combo and adore these boots!! They are very comfortable and well made. I like the metal wrap around the heel, but it is not very sturdy and scuffs easily (after 2 days). When it gets too bad, I am going to see if a cobbler will put an engraved one on. Valle con Dios, anyone? Wish I had the money for the nude combo as well, but I chose the black so I could wear them to work. 4.5.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by beetnik7 cool boots ok-I admit that I bought these boots only based on how cool the model looked in them in the catalogue and didn't pay much attention to the description (though I did note the price and put off the purchase while I considered if I wanted to spend that much). When I opened the box, I was a little put off by how shiny everything was. I bought the nude/beige and there is a shiny gold finish on the back and shiny gold heels. I don't like shiny clothing/shoes and would have preferred everything to be matte. I let the boots languish in the box for a few days and then decided to keep them. They do look cool on and I received 3 compliments my first night. I'm hoping wear and time will dull the shine a bit. I wear 8.5 to 9 and bought these in 8.5 which fit fine but started hurting later in the evening which is standard for me in new shoes. 2.4.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Aprilflowers Fabulous!! Just got these boots the other day in the tan and gold! I have to say that these have to be the BEST pair of boots I've ever owned! They are cool, cool, cool! I had to save up the money to buy them because they are pricey, but they were WELL worth it! These are definitely a MUST have!! 1.12.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pivoteturn MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOTS ....EVER I have an amazing boot collection but am confident that these are THE MOST BEAUTIFUL pair ever- I got them in the bronze metallic and am now ordering them in black. Super comfortable- I typically wear a size 8 and ordered said size 8 - they fit perfect- did I mention that they are super-comfortable? Even my non-fashionable co-workers commented on their beauty. These boots are made very well and are a work of art. OMG I may have to wear them every day this week. 11.20.2012

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
"It finally happened. I got the GPS lady so confused, she said, "In one-quarter mile, make a legal stop and ask directions." ~Robert Brault
Cars. Some I have loved, some I have loathed. Most just for comedy value because they are the ones my parents drove when I was 8 years old. Enjoy.
FACT: The first car I can remember my family having was the Morris Traveller (above). It came in British Racing Green. It was not a racer.
FACT: I am now so old that I have to search with the term 'Vintage' when seeking an image of my family's first car.
FACT: Our neighbours all had better cars than us. They still do.
Users of SaveEveryStep will know that, with a little imagination, you can preserve the memories of just about anything or anyone who has featured in your life's journey. So, I thought, why not celebrate the metallic beasts which have been such a part of my life over the years? They have brought me great excitement, they have brought me on occasion more than just a little 'driving', and they have most certainly brought me higher insurance premiums.
To be honest, all the cars of the 70s now look decidedly naff. I could show you a picture of a Porsche and pass it off as our family ride. But no, once the Traveller had gone to automobile heaven, we took possession of a…Simca! I know you've never heard of them. They had a brief shot at stardom c.1975 and then were wisely removed from public view. Here's one. For some reason we don't have any photos of our own actual vehicle from that time (I wonder why…?) It was actually this appalling colour too.
This was a time when seatbelts were for wimps. Not all of our cars even had them fitted, from memory. It got in the way of a good chat with your cigarette-smoking, cassette-changing mum leaning through the gap between the front seats. Progress, eh? For some reason, however, this man changed everything. RIP, Jimmy…..
I was, without exception, always violently car-sick, of course. Long journeys on pre-motorway roads became even longer and more putrid in the August heat (who am I kidding, this was Britain!) after I had shed my breakfast somewhere between, well, our house and the end of the road….
But soon came my time to shine. Seventeen! Driving lessons!!!!!
"You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive." ~Author Unknown
I was not a natural.
I watched my brother pass his driving test first time, then laugh at me as I sobbed uncontrollably after my second fail.
It's ok, I am safe now.
I blame my Test Instructor's terrible stammer….p..p..p.p..p..turn L..L..L….RIGHT!!!!! *Screech*
I wished I had had the nerve to tell him that 2 wrongs may not make a right, but that three lefts almost certainly do.
This vintage Renault beauty was my first. It didn't come with the old ladies – they were my two omnipresent nans. I smashed her (the car, not my nan) to smithereens in a narrow country lane. NOT my fault.
She was followed by a hand painted (no kidding, Hammerite brush-strokes all over it) Morris Marina. Awful. Only out-awfulled by my next car, a 1960s more-pushing-than-driving VW Beetle. I quickly learned never to park on an incline.
A true 80s working girl, I managed to earn enough money to haul myself into the land of the car with an engine, and into the subscription of a Roadside Breakdown service. I can almost hear my parents punching the air now.
Sadly, such a lady that she was stolen from under my nose one night whilst I most probably slept off a bottle of wine. By the time I knew she was gone, she was probably half way to France to be disembowelled for spare parts. Grrr.
Although irreplaceable, I replaced her (!) with a slightly unconventional and totally impractical kit car. As you did in the 1980s. The Dutton Melos (red, below) LOOKED the part, and for the 2 weeks in early July when the British weather obeyed, it gained me exceptional kudos about town. Pulling up to a mid-winter netball match in short skirt and frozen convertible, however? Not cool. Way beyond cold, even. BALTIC!
The pinnacle of my carEER (see what I did there?) came in the form of a well-made German beast of a BMW (not my house in the background incidentally). I stopped short of smoking cigars and owning a race horse, and indeed, followed the prescribed route of smashing it to smithereens in my 30s. There has been a steady decline into dreadfulness ever since. Accompanied, in the main, by whiplash.
As I sit cushioned in middle-age, my car reflects my status. Grey, a bit stinky inside, and sporting an almighty dent in the left flank. I shall spare you the pain of a photo.
Oh, how I have loved and hated these cars! What are your memories of learning to drive, or the cars you owned in your youth?

CHONBURI, Thailand — Inbee Park of South Korea took advantage of overnight leader Ariya Jutanugarn's triple bogey on the last hole Sunday to secure a one-stroke victory in the LPGA Thailand.
Jutanugarn blew a two-stroke lead on the 18th when she first had to take a drop and then missed a three-foot putt to force a playoff. The 17-year-old Thai golfer, who had a hole-in-one earlier in the round, was moved to tears as the putt lipped out, while a surprised Park started celebrating in the clubhouse with her caddie.
"I just didn't' expect this kind of finish," said Park, adding that she sympathized with Jutanagarn. "If I was in Ariya's situation, I would be very, very nervous and I don't' think I would have handled the pressure until the last hole. I think she handled the pressure well today and this week. Just the last day, I just think it's going to happen. I think something like this happening is just experience under her belt. She's going to be a great player later on."
The fourth-ranked Park finished with a 67 for a 12-under 276 total, with Jutanugarn a shot back after a 72.
Top-ranked Yani Tseng of Taiwan shot a final-round 63 to finish another stroke back in joint third with Beatriz Recari of Spain (70) and So Yeon Ryu of South Korea (68).
Jutanugarn's troubles on the par-5 last hole started when she landed in a bunker and had to take a drop for an unplayable lie. She then overshot the green before three-putting for an 8.
"I was really disappointed because I went onto the course hoping to win not for myself but for the whole country," Jutanugarn said. Jutanugarn had fought back from a stroke behind Park by hitting a hole-in-one on the par-3 12th to regain the lead. But she then paid the price for playing too aggressively on the last.
"I went for two shots (to the green) instead of three on the 18th hole. I was crazy to do that and I learned my lesson," she said. "I thought I would finish with a bogey at worst and win by a shot but I never imagined this."
It was the fourth LPGA win for the 24-year-old Park after her most recent in 2012.
"Out of all the other wins, this win just felt like it was not as much work this week," Park said. "It was a lot easier this week for me and I really want to congratulate Ariya for her fantastic golf the last four days. She has a lot of fans out here and she's very talented. So I think I'll be seeing more of her."

Chase outsiders are notleaving anything to chanceBy HANK KURZ Jr.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | August 23,2014BRISTOL, Tenn. Its the kind of jumble that can make even the most seasoned driver nervous.
Matt Kenseth stands fifth in the points standings and seems a lock to make in into NASCARs Chase for the Sprint Cup championship when the 10-race playoffs begin in three weeks at Chicagoland Speedway.
But the 2003 series champion is still winless this season. With three races remaining in the regular-season, including two on unpredictable short tracks, hes not banking on anything just yet.
I never feel like youre a lock for anything until youre really a lock for something, Kenseth said Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway, the first of those short tracks to be navigated in the next three races. Until its mathematically impossible to be out, I never feel like youre in. We want to win.
Hes still in a lot less precarious position than, say, Greg Biffle.
Twelve drivers are already locked into the playoffs as race winners. Kenseths 709 points put him 13th in the Chase standings, 49 points ahead of Biffle, who is in the final qualifying spot.
Three drivers Kasey Kahne, Austin Dillon and Kyle Larson are within 24 points of Biffle, and the list of non-winners also includes very capable drivers like Kahne, Paul Menard and Jamie McMurray.
In NASCARs new format, a win by any of them, or by one of several other drivers, would allow the race-winner to jump into the championship field.
Youve got to really be on offense and defense at Bristol, Biffle said. You come in here and run as hard as you can. Were here to win and we feel like we run in the top 10 about every time were at Bristol, and thats the position you need to be in in order to put yourself in a position to win.
Carl Edwards won that way at Bristol back in the spring, Biffle noted, by being in the right position when it mattered most. His victory was cemented by an inadvertent caution to end a rain-soaked race.
I feel its going to take a win still to get in this thing, Biffle said.
The dicey nature of the jumble gets all the more intriguing with rookies Dillon and Larson among those hot on Biffles heals. Dillon trails by 22 points for 16th place, Larson is 24 back.
Being a rookie, I dont have much to lose, Dillon said. There has never been a rookie make the Chase. This would be a great opportunity to do that. ... I dont feel a huge sense of urgency.
Plenty of others do, though, or at least a sense of uncertainty. Two-time race winner Joey Logano is delighted to be out of jeopardy and firmly locked into the playoffs.
There are guys out there with a lot of different agendas, he said. Some guys are going to try to be consistent and try to get it in by points because there arent going to be that many more different winners, and then you have guys that kind of have nothing to lose the same way Im going to race. ... I think this is going to be one of the first races where that panic mode is really going to set in like, `OK, we have to win or were out, and I think thats going to start coming into play in our races quite a bit.
Its all why Kenseth remains cautious. He added that any notion that only Chase contenders expect to be factors Saturday night is probably wrong.
Theres a lot of incentives if you win races, so I dont really buy the fact that anybody is really folding it in and getting ready for the Chase and saying, `OK, we dont care about the next three weeks, he said. I think its a huge event and everybody wants to win at Bristol its the Bristol night race. I think its one of the most hyped, intense, entertaining races that we have all year and I think that all 43 guys are fired up for that and theyre going to go out and race to win no matter what theyre telling everybody.

I love the squares on the front and the big dots on the back. I did some grid quilting on this one, I always love the end result. The binding is flea market fancy.

The development of a decomissioned missile base in Gaithersburg is causing concern for a local community organization.
According to the Mid-County Citizens' Alliance, toxic chemicals may be present on the 14-acre site on Snouffer School Road. The area was used as a Nike missile launch site from the late 1950s to early 1960s, with the missiles resting in silos underground. The site, decommissioned decades ago, currently has overgrown vegetation and some tree cover over the remaining silos.
Developer M&D Real Estate is seeking to turn the site into the "Reserve Business Center," including an industrial warehouse, offices and about 300 parking spaces.
The Montgomery County Planning Department will meet on June 27 to discuss the developer's plan for the site. The department has acknowledged the community's opposition to its approval.
"Individual citizens have expressed concern that it is premature to authorize development of this property until all environmental and public health issues have been addressed and resolved," according to county documents.
The citizens' alliance is concerned that an underground storage tank may be unaccounted for, according to alliance member Terry O'Grady.
According to a report from the Maryland Department of the Environment, the site contained a 1,000-gallon underground storage tank in 1990, when the agency conducted a site investigation.
O'Grady said the Mid-County Citizens' Alliance is not against the development of the site, but construction activities could unintentionally unearth toxic substances.
According to a fact sheet from the Maryland Department of the Environment, the Nike missiles were liquid-fueled and used nitric acid in addition to jet petroleum and synthetic rubber. The Mid-County Citizen's Alliance is concerned that activities related to radar research in the 1960s and 1970s could have released polychlorinated biphenyl and chlorinated solvents into the environment, while the demolition of the missile silos could uncover asbestos or lead.
The Gazette was unable to reach a representative for M&D Real Estate before press time, but the developer has submitted an application to the Maryland Department to the Environment to enroll the site in a voluntary cleanup program.
Once the program is complete, the state will be able to determine whether further cleanup will be needed for the site.
