I kinda knew what was inside, given its size. Still, I hesitat- ed, part scared but mostly excited. Inside was a book, pro- duced from a manuscript I wrote. Actually, it is the very first copy to roll off the presses. It's "7 Money Rules for Life," and it is beautiful. My publisher told me it would be a hardback book with a jacket, foil and lacquer to make it very shiny. But until I could actually hold it, nothing seemed real. This is the kind of book I love because it feels good in my hands. It's the perfect size and weight. It has nice paper and thoughtful design. It just begs to be read. The weeks of banging my head on the keyboard, sweating bullets because nothing would come; the long nights of feeling disoriented as I attempted to be a writer when maybe I'm really supposed to be something else ... all of that has melted away in the light of this beautiful day. The experience -- the agony, tears, fears and ultimate surrender - - is now condensed into a book that is due to show up in bookstores on Jan. 2. How this happens is still a mys- tery to me. A beautiful, haunting thing that happens in ways that are difficult to describe. It's like driving up to school a few minutes early so you can watch your child play- ing, interacting and becoming a real per- son complete with a per- sonality. Sure, you did a lot of teaching, and that cute haircut and adorable outfit didn't just happen on their own. You worked it all out. But still, seeing something to which you gave birth, and then helped along to becom- ing a well-functioning, independent person, is just too much for words. And as much as you anticipated how wonder- ful it would be, it's so much better than you could have ever imag- ined. Of all the books I've written, without a doubt this one was most difficult. Maybe that's because I thought I'd said it all. I mean, what more can I say about personal money management in this book that I didn't say in the previous 19? I'll tell you ... and I will do that in just seven simple rules over 200 pages, beautifully typeset and easy to read. "7 Money Rules for Life" is without a doubt my favorite, because in the end writing it changed my life in ways I hope to share with you in the coming months. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate I am thrilled and proud, if not a little scared. That's just the way it is when you feel responsible to a pub- lisher who has spared no expense in creating some- thing so beautiful. Record- breaking sales will be the thing that will allow me to finally relax, knowing this is a good thing for those who have demonstrated just how much they believe in me. I am holding a book that I wrote. I am so grateful. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com and author of 20 books, including her January 2012 release, "7 Money Rules for Life."

Question My buddies and I fish for rockfish out of Pillar Point Har- bor and are very careful about following the rules. We usually return with legal limits. How- ever, on occasion one or more of my fishing friends decides not to take their entire catch home. When that hap- pens I might leave the marina parking lot with my 10 fish as well as additional fish caught by other licensed fish- ers. I'm thinking that since we caught them legally and returned to the dock legally, we are ok. Am I right? (Bill L., Half Moon Bay) Answer No. You can- not ever be in posses- sion of more than the possession limit, even if the extra fish came from another angler who caught them legally. Your buddy may only give away fish to some- one who does not already have a limit in their possession. If you have your limit and then take additional fish from another angler, you may be cited for having an overlimit regardless of who gave them to you. Processing game meat Question A friend shot a wild pig and while skinning it he saw worms in the armpits and groin area. He cut out and discarded the surrounding meat, processed and ate the rest. Is this a seasonal problem? Was this meat safe to eat? If one gets an infected pig, how should one dispose of the bad meat or entire carcass? Bury it (how deep)? Burn it? Toss into the trash can within tightly sealed plastic bags? (Ray, Arbuckle) Answer Adult Trichinella worms are found primarily in the gut of the host, whereas larval, or immature, worms tend to be pre- sent throughout the rest of the body. According to U.C. Davis graduate student Jamie Sherman and DFG Senior Wildlife Veterinarian Ben Gonzales, only adult Trichinella worms are visible to the human eye, and are described BOOK BARN 619 Oak St., Red Bluff (530) 528-Book 2665 Lotto numbers SACRAMENTO (AP) — The winning num- bers drawn Saturday night in the California Lottery's ''SuperLotto Plus'' game were: 1 - 16 - 27 - 33 - 46 Mega Number : 25. HOLIDAY HOURS Open: Tuesday thru Saturday Dec. 27th to 31st Closed: January 3rd-Jan 7th as "white flakes" along the intestines. Larvae within the muscles are only visible under a microscope. Therefore, it is unlikely the worms seen in your friend's pig carcass were Trichinel- la. Other parasitic worms can infect wild pigs though, such as the pork tapeworm Taenia solis, which can appear in the meat as "measly pork", much as you describe. Ingestion of raw or undercooked infected pork results in tapeworm infection in the human gut (taenia- sis). These tapeworms produce larvae which can be shed in the feces of the human host, and once ingested by other human or animal hosts, the larvae penetrate the gut and migrate to sites such as the muscles, eyes or nervous system and can cause serious disease (cysticercosis). Your friend took the right steps to protect himself if he cooked the meat adequately. Removing the measly areas for appearance and then cooking the rest of the meat to an internal temperature using a meat thermome- ter to 160O F will elim- inate the risk of infec- tion from the pork tape- worm as well as from Trichinella. By cooking the meat thoroughly to 160O F and by follow- ing safe meat handling Tehama District Jr. Livestock practices such as wash- ing hands and disinfect- ing utensils and cutting boards thoroughly after handling raw meat, you can prevent parasitic and bacterial infections derived from consuming wild game or domesti- cally raised meat. Trichinella and other parasitic worms are not a seasonal problem, but a lifelong disease. Once an animal is infected, larval worms can remain in the muscle tissue for the lifetime of the host. Humans then get sick when they consume raw or undercooked meat containing the larvae. Regarding various recommendations for proper carcass disposal: 1) Burial: There is no specific depth require- ment for the disposal of carcasses via burial. The goal of burying a car- cass is to prevent other scavengers from con- suming the potentially infective meat. There- fore, they should not be able to dig it up. Bury- ing the carcass a few feet under the ground should be sufficient. It is also important to make sure your burial site is not within 100 feet of any water source, in order to prevent cont- amination. 2) Burning: This is an effective tool for destroying pathogens and reducing the volume of solid waste.

Determined scavengers can easily break open plastic bags. There are, however, some landfills that are specially per- mitted to safely dispose of carcasses. Local county health depart- ment officials can help identify these landfills.
