One thing I hated growing up was that my parents took all the money I made doing after school activities and only gave it to me when they thought I needed it for something.

Looking back, I know they did the right thing because I would have spent it on baseball cards, candy or toys.

By taking the money from me, they held me in check. The best part about them holding my money was when it was time to go school shopping. I was always excited to spend my own money.

I know if they didn't hold on to the money, then I wouldn't have enough to buy some of the extra things I liked.

For example, my parents didn't believe in paying for a Spider-Man folder when a regular blank folder did just fine but if I had my own money they couldn't say no.

But as a kid, I hated having to give my money to my parents. The first time they took it, I thought they were never going to give it back. Of course they did but I was paranoid as hell with my hard earned money.

This is something I could see me doing with my future kids because it's effective.

It's a great way to teach kids how to save money for things they really want.

Did you parents ever hold onto your money when you were a child? What about giving you a coin jar or piggy bank?

MS ASP.NET MVC 1.0 is now an Open Source project

The source for ASP.NET MVC has long been available up at http://www.codeplex.com/aspnet. The source has been "Available" so I usually call this "Source Opened" as opposed to "Open Source."

Your website is designed, the CMS works, content has been added and the client is happy. It’s time to take the website live. Or is it? When launching a website, you can often forget a number of things in your eagerness to make it live, so it’s useful to have a checklist to look through as you make your final touches and before you announce your website to the world.

With the recent changes in the economy, a lot of developers are focused on their short-term job prospects. At the same time, it’s important to make sure that you get the most bang for your buck when it comes to taking the time and energy to learn new skills. Here is our list of 10 skills you should be learning right now to make sure that your resume is relevant for the next five years. The list is hardly exhaustive, and there are huge swaths of the industry it won’t cover (mainframe developers, for example). Nonetheless, for average mainstream development, you can’t go wrong learning at least seven of these skills — not only to the point where you can talk convincingly about them at a job interview, but actually use them on the job.

A 10-year-old girl was decapitated by a crocodile in a Philippine lake after the creature knocked over her canoe, police said Wednesday.

The girl and a classmate were on their way Saturday to their floating school on Agusan del Sur province's Mihaba Lake when the 23-foot- (7-meter-) long crocodile bumped the boat, causing it to capsize, said Bunawan town police officer Melchor Danuco.

Rescuers found the girl's headless body floating on the lake on Tuesday, he said.

The classmate was rescued by a man escorting the pair in another boat, said Roel Hipulan, head of the private group that runs the school in remote Bunawan town.

"It's a monster crocodile," Hipulan said, adding that he had seen the creature. He said salt water crocodiles, some bigger than a bus, are known to inhabit the lake, though attacks are rare.

But the lake's waters have been swollen for the past several months, causing fish to scatter to others parts. With little to feed on, the crocodiles have become aggressive, he said.

The crocodile attack has prompted the temporary closure of the school and the evacuation of about 100 residents of houses on stilts on the lake, Hipulan added.
