ARMAGEDDA-WHA? SNIPPETZ INVESTIGATES THE HYPE ABOUT

2012 DOOMSDAY PREDICTIONS ISSUE 579 • DECEMBER 3, 2012

“It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it. It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.”

redictions about the date the world will end are nothing new. But if we are expected to believe every doomsday prophecy that comes our way, the world would definitely have ended on Oct. 21, 2011 following American Christian radio host Harold Camping’s prediction. And according to Camping, the best of the best, God’s chosen people, would have been taken up to heaven during the Rapture which he predicted to take place on May 21, 2011.

These predictions focused not only on events that were supposed to occur in the near future but also in the very distant future. It is said that if these quatrains, which were mostly written in French with some Latin, Italian and Greek sprinkled in for good measure, are interpreted correctly, it is evident that many of his predictions have come true.

Naturally, this leads some people to believe that there could be more correct Nostradamus predictions to come.

Unless we’re missing something, the Rapture never happened and the world obviously didn’t end.

So what’s with all the predictions citing 2012 as the year the world ends? Snippetz looks into the Armageddon predictions for 2012 and wonders, is this the end of the world as we know it?

THE ORIGINAL MISS CLEO

So what did he “correctly” predict?

Believers claim that he predicted the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. They also claim he predicted the fall of the Nazi regime. Some claim that Nostradamus predicted the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on Sept.

11, 2001. Supposedly an email was circulated that claimed to be one of Nostradamus’s works that spoke to Two Brothers (the twin towers, presumably) torn apart by Chaos in a City of God (again, presumably New York), with a fortress that endures (the Pentagon) and a great leader that succumbs (President George W. Bush).

Michel de Nostredame, more commonly known as Nostradamus, is one of the more popular doomsday prophets, dating back to 16th century France. Although he was a physician and astrologer, Nostradamus probably made his biggest mark with his writings.

Originally titled “The Prophecies of Michel Nostradamus,” this particular assemblage of writings contained about a thousand quatrains or four-lined verses organized into sets of a hundred. These works were later called “The Centuries.” In these works, Nostradamus claims to have been able to predict the future using

It was later determined that this email was completely fabricated.

Nostradamus never wrote such a quatrain and it was eventually attributed to a student at Brock University in Canada who wrote on essay showing how easily you could “predict the future” through vague, general images. Sort of like modern horoscope predications you’d find in the paper.

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT 2012 Probably the most widely known is that of the Mayan calendar’s supposed prediction of the world ending on Dec. 21, 2012. The Mayan calendar is broken into different cycles of day counts, known as the Great Cycle. This cycle lasts 1,872,000 days or about 5,125 years. The assumption is that the date the current Great Cycle ends, Dec. 21, 2012, will be the day the world ends.

However, it is said that there are no Mayan inscriptions or writings indicating that the world will end on this day. In fact, it is said that the end of this Great Cycle will simply denote the beginning of a new Great Cycle, sort of like our New Year’s Eve rolling over into the next year on our calendar.

Another doomsday prediction centers around the idea of the mysterious Planet Nibiru (or Planet X or Hercubolus, depending on who you talk to). In this prediction, the wayward planet is set to smash into Earth in December 2012. However, it is said that if such a planet did exist, we would all have seen it by now because it would be one of the brightest “stars” in the sky. Not to mention the obvious distorting properties its gravity would have on other planets’ orbits, especially ones that are supposed to be close by, such as Earth.

The prediction that Earth’s North and South poles will flip in polarity, causing a magnetic reversal of Earth’s rotational direction, is an2012 Doomsday Predictions...

other 2012 doomsday event. Supposedly, when this occurs in (you guessed it) December 2012, the reverse in the rotation will cause catastrophic events worldwide.

This flip-flop in polarity is said to be likely since Earth’s polarity is said to shift each year, sometimes up to 25 miles from its previous location. However, a complete flip is said to be infrequent and the most recent occurrence is thought to be about 780,000 years ago. And this flip did not cause Earth to spin in the other direction; that is said to be impossible.

This polarity prediction seems to have spawned another doomsday scenario involving solar flares. Supposedly, a giant hole will be left in the atmosphere when the poles re-

verse which will allow solar flares, which are a common occurrence now, to reach the Earth with disastrous effects. However, since the poles shift relatively frequently and solar flares aren’t exactly unheard of, if this situation was indeed catastrophic, it would’ve already occurred.

Of course, one good theory leads to another, which brings us to solar flares and “space weather” in general. It is said that the sun is on an 11-year cycle, the peak of which (known as the solar maximum) will occur in…wait for it…2012! This solar maximum is said to cause gigantic solar flares which have the capacity to reach Earth and, again, cause catastrophes worldwide.

young man pulls up in a car. He’s spent the last six hours cleaning it and he notices an empty McDonald’s fry bag wedged near his seatbelt lock.

He digs it out with two fingers and looks around. He opens up a secret change compartment and shoves it in the small space because cars don’t come with trashcan. He steps out of the car and pulls up his pants; his mother was right, they are too big. He walks to the door trying to hold his posture.

His rental tux starts to show its value as his loose tie begins to reveal a loose hanging button on his chest.

This theory is said to be false for a number of reasons. The first is that this peak is not supposed to occur until 2013. Second, the strength of the next solar maximum is actually anticipated to be lower than the average solar maximum. And lastly, solar flares cannot damage the Earth’s surface, although the same can’t be said for satellites and the like.

Planetary alignment has gotten other doomsday believers up in arms as well. Some believe that the planets will align in December, 2012 and that cataclysmic events will follow.

However, it’s said that every year in late December, the Earth, Sun and the center of the Galaxy all align (for the most part) with no real disastrous affect to speak of, and that an alignment of the planets wouldn’t effect Earth anyway.

LET’S NOT FORGET THE WEB BOT PROJECT’S PREDICTIONS If Nostradamus could predict events, then why can’t a computer? Here’s why: the Web Bot Project (which was originally developed to predict stock market activity in the 1990s) is a specific type of computer software that scans the internet for

commonly used keywords, phrases or other frequently chatted-about topics. Sounds a bit like the way a Google search works…

Anyway, the project’s developers, Clif High and George Ure, claimed that this same program could predict the future. They claimed that these bots predicted 9/11, saying it had foreseen a “world-changing event” occurring in the months following June 2001. Other believers have claimed that the bots predicted Hurricane Katrina. And, of course,

The young man knocks on the door. He waits nervously and starts to over think everything with each second the door remains closed. Finally, a nice looking, albeit intimidating, middle-aged couple answers the door. They invite him in and start questioning him; setting rules for the evening ahead. Finally, a beautiful young girl sporting a classy but young dress starts gliding down the stairway. The boy and girl both know that the night ahead is going to be one they remember for their entire life.

They have waited their entire educationallife for Prom after all…

the bots have supposedly predicted a catastrophic event happening on none other than Dec. 21, 2012. Naturally, critics have come forth to say the predictions are vague, general descriptions that one can easily fit into events that have already happened.

Don’t you miss that feeling, the one of nervousness and excitement all over a silly

Also, knowing that certain keywords or phrases are considered more “relevant” due to how often they are searched, critics say this tricks the system into making a 2012 doomsday seem more likely.

dance? We don’t get to have that feeling anymore. “Going out” seems to consist of restaurants and lounges after a certain point. The good news I come with today is that everyone will get a second chance to get that feeling back once again! And this time, you won’t even have to deal with the parents.

The Starlight Dance is back and ready to spice up the late-night life of every TriLakes area couple. It’s like prom, except there’s a bar and only people aged 21+ are allowed through the door. I know, sounds like a blast. The new annual event is one that benefits the Tri-Lakes Area’s 4th of July Fireworks Festival. This year’s event will help fund the 2013 Independence Day Fireworks Show. But there’s more in it for you than meets the eye.

Each purchased ticket also acts as a raffle ticket for a 42” Television complete with a surround sound system! Add this to the live music performed by the Justin Lane Band, small appetizers, a bar, and a silent auction, and you’ve got yourself a night of dancing and (in the words of one mister Charlie) winning.

Tickets are $25 for individuals or $40 for a couple. They can be purchased all around the Tri-Lakes Area – Town of Monument, Tri-Lakes Printing, Rosie’s Diner, Kirkland Photography, Tri-Lakes Collision, and the fabulous, entertaining, show-stopping Pinz Bowling Center (that’s a plug, ladies and gentlemen).

Feeling young is the desire of everyone over sixteen; this is the chance folks. Can I have this dance?

• If you take your beneďŹ ts early, you’ll receive a reduced amount each month.

While you’re living, your spouse will receive up to 50 percent of the benefit, which will be smaller because you’ve claimed early. • When it comes to asking for advice before collecting Social Security, 62 percent of seniors haven’t done that.

• While it’s possible to receive Social Security at age 62, the qualifying age for Medicare is still age 65. You could be stuck trying to pay for expensive health insurance with a reduced Social Security check.

Before you apply for Social Security, get advice. Call and ask that the numbers be run for you showing how much you’ll receive at age 62 as opposed to later. You’ll be surprised at the difference.

ANSWER: An increase in children having kidney stones has been noticed. Some authorities have speculated that the increase in stones might be linked to children’s greater intake of salty foods like potato chips, french fries and other heavily salted snacks. The sodium in salt leads to a rise in the amount of calcium lost in the urine, and, therefore, an increase in kidney-stone production.

Eight ounces of Gatorade has 110 mg of sodium. New guidelines for daily sodium intake is 1,500 mg. To reach that limit by drinking Gatorade, one would have to drink 13 8-ounce cans or 9 12-ounce cans. Blaming the surge in the number of children on Gatorade seems iffy to me.

Your grandson would be better off substituting some of his consumption of Gatorade with water. He needs to cut back on his consumption of salt from other foods too. Gatorade keeps him hydrated, but he can stay hydrated with water. Dehydration

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My very healthy, active, 6-year-old grandson was just diagnosed as having kidney stones.

His pediatrician said it is mostly genetic, but no one else in the family has had kidney stones. A friend told us she heard that stones could be caused by drinking Gatorade. My grandson has drunk a lot of Gatorade. He does not eat processed meat, nor does he have much salt in his diet.

From the Internet, I came up with the enclosed article, which linked Gatorade to kidney stones. I feel that someone needs to inform parents that too much Gatorade in children can adversely affect health. -G.S.

CARING FOR YOUR POINSETTIA

T

hey’ve really come up with some beautiful new Poinsettia colors. All shades of burgundy, white, peach and even multicolored Poinsettia like my favorite ‘Jingle Bells’ which has mottled red and white bracts, are now widely available. The original was a simple dark red and has been widely planted for centuries. The plant was prized by Aztecs who used the reddish bracts for dye and the latex, the white sap inside the stems, to counteract fever.

In winter shortly after the Poinsettia’s natural booming period they used the Poinsettia in ceremonies to symbolize purity, blood and sacrifice. Later Franciscan priests used the Poinsettia to celebrate Christmas and represent the blood of Christ.

Bright and indirect light will keep your Poinsettia going all the way through mid March. Water when the soil is dry to the touch being careful not to let it go too dry. Don’t allow your Poinsettia to sit in water as if they are over watered they are not very forgiving. Though most Poinsettias are tossed to the curb shortly

by Samantha Weaver

after the holidays, it is possible to get your Poinsettia to bloom again before next year’s holiday season. Ugh. Did I already mention next year’s holidays? Anyways… After your Poinsettia has finished blooming, around mid March, you can prune back the bracts and start a fertilizing monthly with a basic fertilizer. Repot your plant into the next size container using a quality potting soil and prune regularly to encourage a well formed plant. Always leaving enough leaves so your plant can photosynthesize. And here comes the important part. STOP pruning in late August. In order for your Poinsettia to produce a good show it will need as much sunlight as possible during the day and a solid 14 hours of complete darkness starting October 1st. Even the smallest amount of light can halt the flowering process. Once the bracts begin to show color your Poinsettia becomes much less high maintenance.

• It was revered civil-rights leader Mohandas Gandhi who made the following sage observation: “Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err.”

• If you’re afraid of rats and mice, you might not want to read the following snippet: Those who study such things say that 60 percent of all the mammals on earth are rodents.

• Athletes playing baseball on steroids have frequently been in the news in recent years, but drugs are nothing new in America’s national sport. During the late 1960s and throughout almost all of the ‘70s, Dock Ellis was a valued pitcher who played for several teams, including the Pittsburgh Pirates. On June 12, 1970, Ellis took LSD, under the mistaken belief that it was an off day for his team. By the time he realized that the Pirates were scheduled to play against the San

I really can’t imagine why anyone throws out their Poinsettia. We all have plenty of time to cater to the high maintenance needs of a plant, don’t we? Ok, seriously it can be fun and if you’re successful then you’ve earned some bragging rights among your friends! That makes it worth it!

Diego Padres that evening, it was too late. The drug proved to have no ill effect on Ellis; in fact, he pitched a no-hitter. When he recounted the event to a reporter 12 years later, he said he remembered only bits and pieces of the game, though he felt euphoric. Many years later, after being treated for addiction, Ellis became a coordinator for an anti-drug program in California.

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL

• On Dec. 4, 1872, a British ship spots the Mary Celeste, a 100-foot American brig, sailing erratically but at full sail near the Azores Islands with not a soul on board.

The last entry in the captain’s log was dated 11 days earlier, showing that the Mary Celeste had been drifting since then with no one at the wheel. The fate of the crew remains a mystery to this day. • On Dec. 6, 1884, in Washington, D.C., workers place a 9-inch aluminum pyramid atop a tower of white marble, completing construction of a monument to the city’s namesake and the nation’s first president, George Washington. • On Dec. 5, 1933, the 21st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is ratified, repealing the 18th Amendment and bringing an end to the era of national prohibition of alcohol in America. Utah became the 36th state to ratify the amendment, achieving the requisite three-fourths majority of states’ approval. • On Dec. 3, 1947, Marlon Brando’s famous cry of “STELLA!â€? first booms across

a Broadway stage, electrifying the audience at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre during the first-ever performance of Tennessee Williams’ play “A Streetcar Named Desire.â€? • On Dec. 9, 1950, Harry Gold -- who had confessed to serving as a courier of top-secret information on the atomic bomb -- is sentenced to 30 years in jail for his crime.

Gold implicated his brother-in-law and sister, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were later convicted and executed for espionage. • On Dec. 5, 1964, the first Medal of Honor awarded for action in Vietnam is presented to Army Special Forces Capt. Roger Donlon of New York for his heroic action at Nam Dong. Donlon was shot in the stomach during an attack by hordes of Viet Cong.

He stuffed a handkerchief into the wound, cinched up his belt and kept fighting. • On Dec. 8, 1982, “Sophie’s Choice,â€? starring actress Meryl Streep as a Holocaust survivor, opens in theaters. The “choiceâ€? in the film’s title refers to a terrible decision Streep’s character is forced to make, about which of her two children will live or die while in a concentration camp.

Second, silence improves conversation. We’ve all been around someone who just plain flat talks too much, who wears us out with their words. Someone once said, “He had occasional flashes of silence that made his conversation perfectly delightful.” The best conversationalists are those who know how to listen.

SILENT NIGHT – YOU’RE KIDDING, RIGHT?

By Dr. Ron Ross

I

sn’t everyone’s favorite Christmas carol “Silent Night”? When we sing it we always use that soft breathy voice that indicates we understand and enjoy the beauty of silence. A few seconds after the “Amen” we’re back to the reality of the noisy world we live in.

Look, no listen to all the noise we hear every day.

We get up in the morning and immediately turn on the TV or radio.

Even the shortest journey in our car is accompanied with the noise of a highend automotive sound system.

hour of silence. I kicked the footrest out so I could lie nearly prostrate in the plush comfort of the chair. It took a few minutes to get comfortable and settle in and soon my eyes closed as I enjoyed the superb sound of silence; it was marvelous.

Some of you wear a new kind of head jewelry called “Bluetooth Technology” or I-pods that pipe noise directly into your head.

Most stores play “background” music and some even broadcast extra-loud advertisements on strategically placed TVs throughout their stores.

Unfortunately, silence is not easy to find, what with several phones in every home, TVs in every room, children, coworkers, machinery, barking dogs, etc.

Perhaps the reason it is so difficult to find a place of silence is because of the high value of a little peace and quiet. You see, valuable things are always scarce, and silence can be very valuable.

Now farmers no longer have to plow in silence because their tractors come equipped with quality sound systems.

We may breathlessly sing, “Silent night”, but we live in the noisiest society in history. So I’m calling for a little silence, a little peace and quiet, an uninterrupted hour or two with absolutely no noise. But I’m not only calling for it, I’m seeking it, I’m trying to create it.

Here are four reasons that silence is valuable: First of all, silence rests the mind. The constant noise of life tires the brain and weakens its ability to do the work it is designed to do. Silence renews and refreshes the brain for more productive, creative labor.

Yesterday the wife went to the Mall which meant the house was going to be empty for at least two hours. “Ahhh… some peace and quiet”, I thought as I made my way to my favorite recliner and settled down for an uninterrupted

Silence settles arguments. You can stop a raucous argument or quiet down an angry person with silence. “Silence” said Josh Billings, “is one of the hardest arguments to refute.”

And last, silence preserves integrity.

One hundred years before the birth of Christ a writer penned, “I have often regretted my speech, never my silence.”* We have all said at one time or another, “I wish I would have just kept my big mouth shut.” Mark Twain said it best, “Tis better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak up and remove all doubt.”

But if silence bothers you and you find it hard to endure, do not worry, the noise will return soon enough. My quiet silence was broken by the most annoying sound ever invented by man – the ringtone on my cellphone. *Publilius Syrus © 2012 Dr. Ron Ross Please send comments to Dr.Ross@RonRossToday.com.

tives came to America, they were used to eating yams as a major staple of their diet. When they didn’t find any here, but instead found sweet potatoes, a close relative, some Africans began calling sweet potatoes “nyamis,” the Fulani word for yam.

As the sweet potato became more popular in America, growers started labeling them “Yams,” which we now know is incorrect. The U.S. Department of Agriculture now requires the word “yam” be followed by the words “sweet potato” when labeling a sweet potato product. Smaller yams look similar to, but are not as sweet, as the sweet potatoes we are familiar with in North America. African yams have a tougher consistency, a starchier texture and an oilier feel on the tongue.

Some specialty markets carry yams imported from Asia or Africa. China is the world’s larges producer of sweet potatoes, along with India and the United States. Sweet potatoes can be stored unrefrigerated for up to three months.

New DVD Releases for Week of December 3, 2012 PICKS OF THE WEEK “The Dark Knight Rises” (PG-13) -- The Dark Knight trilogy comes to a climactic conclusion as Batman (Christian Bale) must come out of hiding to save civilization from a new foe. Eight years after Batman took the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, crime is down and things are quiet. A muscle-bound chap named Bane (Tom Hardy) causes enough trouble to bring the Bat out of the shadows by amassing an army in the city’s sewers.

This is the big, loud, dark conclusion the trilogy deserves. Christopher Nolan takes the themes inherent in the previous Dark Knight movies and pushes them as far as they can go. Besides Bane, there are some shiny new features in this installment; Anne Hathaway dons the skin-tight black suit of Catwoman, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays John Blake, a young cop.

“Hope Springs” (PG-13) -- You’ll get a lot of laughs, sighs and uncomfortable moments from this drama/rom-com about the intimacy issues of an older married couple.

Kay (Meryl Streep) wishes her husband, Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones on an extra dosage of cranky pills), would be attracted to her. Kay gets Arnold to come with her to a couples retreat with a therapist (Steve Carell).

The trailer suggests it’s all fun and games, but these are serious discussions about things that come and go over a long mar-

riage. Even with the laughs, the overall movie experience is an awkward one as the film tries to stay light while digging into marital issues.

“The Odd Life of Timothy Green” (PG) -- A young married couple unable to have their own child adopts the first mud-covered boy who shows up at their doorstep.

Really, all they had to do was write down everything they would have wanted in a child, bury it in a box and wait for the spirits of PG-rated movies to grant them the perfect boy. Magic is fun and all, and Disney has made heaps of money and emotional capital by selling wishes-come-true fantasy, but Timothy Green is just sappy and boring.

“Beasts of the Southern Wild” (PG-13) -- This live-action adventure shows the complexity of the real world as it is to a 6-year-old who has to fill in the gaps with imagination. Hushpuppy is a little girl

who lives in the bayou with her father and a band of likeminded people who like swamps better than cities. When a severe storm pounds on the coast, Hushpuppy’s world is plunged into danger and the unknown. This is a unique and memorable experience. The story is imaginative, but the world is still real enough to reach out and touch. The film is cast with all nonprofessional actors, contributing to the emotional authenticity at the movie’s heart.

TRIVIA TEST ANSWERS

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your holiday planning might have to take a back seat for a bit so that you can handle a problem with a friend or family member. Your schedule resumes by the 8th.

DECEMBER 3, 2012

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’ve let yourself be distracted from what’s really important. But love finally gets your attention this week. However, it comes with a challenge that could create a problem.

SPORTS QUIZ ANSWERS 1. Willie Mays Aikens of the Kansas City Royals in 1980.

2. Three -- they lost in 1965 and won in 1987 and 1991.

3. Army averaged 7.6 yards per carry in 1945.

4. Philadelphia’s Moses Malone, in the 1982-83 season.

5. Markus Mattsson of the Los Angeles Kings.

6. Six out of 19, with the last being France in 1998.

7. Muhammad Ali beat Sonny Liston in 1965.

FLASH BACK ANSWERS 1. The Seekers, with their U.K. version in 1965. Two years later, Sonny James took it to the top of the U.S. country charts.

2. Cat Stevens wrote the song about his girlfriend, Patti D’Arbanville, when she left for a one-month modeling job.

The lyrics indicate that she is dead. Patti was understandably upset and ended the relationship.

3. For the money. They’d been offered a gig doing a television commercial for chewing gum with the requirement that their hair be blond.

4. Ozzy Osbourne wrote it in 1980 after a contentious breakup with Black Sabbath, saying goodbye with the lines, “broken wings can’t hold me down, I’m free again.”

5. “Tell Laura I Love Her,” by Ray Peterson in 1960. This teen-angst hit has all the requirements: boy, girl, car, death, tragedy.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Be careful not to bully others into following your lead.

Best advice: Persuade, don’t push, and you’ll get the cooperation you need to move forward with your plans.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist the urge to gloat now that you’ve proved your detractors wrong. Instead, charm them back into your circle. Remember: A former foe can become your best ally.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might want to claim all the credit for making this holiday season special. But is it worth producing a lot of hurt feelings by rejecting offers of help? Think about it.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Ignore a coworker’s questionable behavior. Instead, put your energy into making your own project special. Then sit back and purr over your well-deserved applause.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might not want to accept those suggested changes in your workplace. But don’t chuck them out before you check them out. You could be happily surprised.

17

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Relationships in general benefit during the early part of the week, including in the workplace. Also expect some overdue changes in a personal situation.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) “Prudence” should be your watchword this week. Best not to be too open about some of the things that are currently happening in your life.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Money is on your mind, so you’d best mind how you’re spending it. Take another look at that holiday budget and see where you can make adjustments.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Resolving to revive an old friendship could open some old wounds. Are you sure you want to risk that? Think this through before making a commitment.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your need to know more about a new friend could lead to some startling revelations. Best advice: Keep an open mind about what you learn until all the facts are in.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your loyalty to friends makes you a very special person to those whose lives you’ve touched.

• If traveling with a number of people, don’t book the tickets all in one group. If there aren’t enough seats together, and some are in a higher price range, your whole group will be charged the higher price.

• Don’t click that “buy” button too early or too late. Months in advance is too early, and last minute typically costs extra.

MONEY-SAVING

TRAVEL TIPS

T

he high cost of travel threatens to keep many people home over the holidays, but it’s possible to save money if you know some of the tricks. Go Banking Rates (GoBankingRates.com) has created a list of ways to cut the costs of travel.

• Avoid the peak travel days -- the days immediately before and after a holiday. Be flexible in your departure and return dates.

• Plan your holiday trip for the “dead weeks” in December, when there is less business travel.

• Choose to fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Saturday, as most people prefer to fly on days around the weekend.

• Go by rail. Check Amtrak’s rates.

You’re sure to save considerable money over the cost of a plane ticket, although your travel time will be longer.

• For last-minute air travel, when the rates are generally the highest, check online late at night. That’s when fare sales are first posted. Staying up late with multiple browser screens open can save you big money. (Remember to keep refreshing the page so the newest information comes up.)

• When you get to your destination, stay with friends or family, even if it’s only one night with the person who picks you up at the airport. The longer the stay, the more you save on lodging and meals.

• No friends or family at your destination? Join that intrepid group of millions of domestic and international travelers who couch surf.

Sign up at www.couchsurfing.org for hook-ups with people who live in your destination city. Not only do you get a place to sleep, but in many cases you’ll make a new friend who’ll give you the guided tour of the area and show you places you might not have seen as a mere tourist. Search National Geographic, Forbes and The New Yorker online to see what they have to say about this new means of affordable lodging.
