The effects of the government shutdown are being felt all over the Tampa Bay area.
DeSoto National Memorial near Bradenton is completely closed and most of its employees were furloughed.
Visitors were not happy about it.
The 25 acre park just west of Bradenton commemorates the landing of Hernando DeSoto. The Spanish conquistador is known for exploring the southeastern United States, and he first arrived somewhere around Tampa Bay in 1539, but you won't be able to take a look at this possible landing spot. The gates were locked and signs blocked entrances. Visitors had to go back home.
"It's stupid, that's what it is!" said one man.
"The park is completely shut down," said DeSoto National Memorial Park Superintendent Jorge Acevedo.
Right now, Acevedo is the only employee left. He's keeping an eye out on the grounds because his eight employees were furloughed.
Acevedo said, "I certainly feel the government should resume as promptly as it can its normal operation. I'm just here to make sure when that happens, we're ready to go back to work."
Acevedo says the park gets hundreds of visitors this time of year, visitors like Jennifer Jerome. She takes her kids here and often comes through during her morning jog.
But when she arrived today she was in such disbelief, she snapped a photo.
Jerome said, "I was surprised. I really wasn't thinking the government shutdown was really going to affect me."
Many squarely place the blame on elected leaders.
Visitor Jerry Disbrow said, "They're in there just playin' political games, throwing road blocks in the obstruction of the growth of the country and hurting the poor people and the people who pay their taxes while they're sitting back getting a paycheck doing nothing."
It's a small national park that's playing a role in a big nationwide issue.
Jerome said, "I'm thinking of the people that work here. That's their livelihoods. I'm inconvenienced with I don't get a water fountain, but how about the people that this is their job and they're wondering what do they do?"

Pretty i18n URLs: alternative (for multilingual pages)
24 November 2008 at 5:46pm Last edited: 24 November 2008 6:12pm
I am currently building my first multilingual Silverstripe site. Here is an alternative way (compare recipes:pretty_i18n_urls) to build pretty URLs of the kind en.domain.com/news/ instead of domain.com/news/?lang=en
It does not require any changes in the Silverstripe core code, but you may have to add some DNS entries for your domain.
All the magic happens in the .htaccess file. Simply add the red lines to your .htaccess file and adjust them to your needs:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(en|mi)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) $1?lang=%1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
(en|mi) are the language codes for the available translations of your site. In this case it's English and MÄÂori, for e.g. English, French and German just use (en|fr|de) instead.
In the same line also replace \.domain\.com with your domain name.
This simply translates the URL en.domain.com/news/ to domain.com/news/?lang=en. No links or references to files and images need to be changed.
URLs such as www.domain.com, domain.com, www.domain.com/news and domain.com/news will display your default language.
I had to add CNAME entries to my DNS records to make it work, i.e.:
Name: mi.domain.com
Type: CNAME
Value: domain.com. (add the trailing dot ".")
And the same for en.domain.com
(It may take a couple of minutes to a few hours until these new DNS entries are propagated and you can see the effect.)
This method solves a couple of problems I had with multilingual pages:
* The URL is unique for each language (no browser caching problems and no need to set "HTTP::set_cache_age(0);" in the _config.php file which would slow down everything)
* I would like to use the existing pretty_i18n_urls recipe but I never liked that "you need to have distinct page names for all languages. /en/news and /fr/news will give you the news page from the default language. SS does not honor language/page combinations, it.seems" It is no problem to have the same page name for all languages with the method described here.
* I quite like that I don't have to touch core code (or any PHP code).
This method is not yet much tested but so far it works for me without problems. Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
Just as a thought (this is completely untested): I think with another .htaccess rewrite rule it should be quite easy to enable translated images. You would just have to check a folder that contains language specific images: if the image exists then use it, otherwise use the image of the default language.
I hope this is helpful.

Kiora, thanks for an innovative way to deal with multi-lingual! if i want to switch between 3 or 4 different languages, do I just add in additional languages in the .htaccess file? e.g:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(en|mi)\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(fr|mi)\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(zh|mi)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) $1?lang=%1&%{QUERY_STRING}
sorry, I am new to coding... cheers!!

Just do the changes in one line:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(en|mi|fr|zh)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*) $1?lang=%1&%{QUERY_STRING}
Don't forget to change the domain to your domain name in the same line.
What the RewriteCond line does is that it checks the subdomain of your domain name. If it is e.g. MÄÂori (mi.domain.com) it will simply translate that url and open the page domain.com/?lang=mi . This happens internally on the server, the URL in the browser remains mi.domain.com .
To explain what is happening e.g. for the domain mi.domain.com:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(en|mi|fr|zh)\.domain\.com
This line checks if the domain 'domain.com' has a subdomain 'en' or 'mi' or 'fr' or 'zh'. If it does then the URL is translated in the following line:
RewriteRule ^(.*) $1?lang=%1&%{QUERY_STRING}
^(.*) is a regular expression and for Silverstripe URLs it contains the page name (e.g. mi.domain.com/news/ . The value in brackets (.*) - in this example 'news/' - is stored in the variable $1. The subdomain in brackets (en|mi|fr|zh) from the RewriteCond line is stored in the variable %1 - in this example 'mi'. So knowing that $1 is 'news/' and %1 is 'mi' you can easily rewrite the URL.
The {QUERY_STRING} in the RewriteRule line simply ensures that other values (e.g. mi.domain.com/news/?executeForm=SearchForm&Search=test) will be passed on, too.
So $1?lang=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} is the translated string.
e.g. a slightly more complex URL like
on the server side.
Anyway, the only line you need to adjust is RewriteCond.
Rewrite Rules (the Apache mod_rewrite module) can be very powerful. I'm certainly no expert, but I find my way around with some trial and error. There are many tutorials out there to make things clearer. A beginners one is http://www.workingwith.me.uk/articles/scripting/mod_rewrite

Anatol, thanks for your detailed reply!
In your opinion, is silverstripe an ideal CMS for dev a multi-lingual site? I came across another CMS called quick.CMS, it does multi-lingual contents out-of-the-box. Modx also allow easy setup for multilingual contents, it uses redirect... I prefer the SS user interface, and all I want to know is if SS is worth my time doing further dev with multi-lingual.
I am having abit of a trouble enabling i18n, getting the ?lang=en ?lang=zh ?lang=fr to work in my url, was wondering if you could briefly talk me through the process?
1. in mysite/_config.php, I enabled
2. I set the locale to
3. I did a text collect: http://<mysite>/i18n/textcollector/
4. I made dataobject translatable
class Team extends DataObject {
static $db = array(
"Name" => "Varchar",
"FoundedDate" => "Date",
"Description" => "Text",
// we don't want all fields to be translated (wouldn't make sense for a date, right?)
static $extensions = array(
5. I ran a /db/build/flush=1
6. In CMS, I added under the 'Translation' tab, the languages I wanted to include for my site.
Is that all I needed to do to enable multilingual contents? I can't seem to get ?lang=en, ?lang=zh, ?lang=fr to work properly... Please check for me.
Thank you very much!

Hi Anatol,
I have got it to work now, just needed to run a i18n/textcollector/ everytime I add a new language in the cms. Will try the .htaccess mod_rewrite function you suggested today, thank you very much for your great support. When you pop down to Christchurch, let me know, I will show you around.

In a recent interview with Parade.com, Charlize Theron comes off as one complex chick. After declaring that she's just, you know, not talented enough for those romantic comedies, we couldn't help but wonder what a fellow named Oscar would have to say to that. She goes on to explain that those darker, twistier roles just come easier to her. Well, to each her own. Check out some highlights from the interview below, and then see the rest of the exclusive coverage on Parade.com.
Don't worry, Heigl, your territory is safe for now:
"I don't necessarily think of them as dark roles. I like conflicted women because I feel like we get so little of that. I think every director that works with me always kind of comments on the fact that it is quite ironic that I haven't done comedy because there is zero drama about me. But, I think taste really applies to comedy, maybe even more than drama. I think a sense of humor is a very personal thing and I don't know if I am talented enough to do romantic comedies. But I love what the Coen Brothers do and Gus Van Sant does with comedy. I would love to do something like that. Spread the word."
If Guillermo Arriaga asked her to jump off a cliff, she might just jump off a cliff:
"I really believe that the success of trying to make a good film is really about chemistry -- and not just with the other actors, but the director as well. I felt like Guillermo Arriaga and I had the right chemistry that we would take each other's hand and kind of jump off the cliff and really set out to try and make the same movie."
They may have been good to her, but she's ready to let go of those "Reindeer Games" years:
"I was ready to pay my dues and by no means did I think that I was going to just walk in and do challenging work. In the beginning there was a part of me that knew that there was going to be a few frustrating years. But you get yourself out there and you work hard and hope that one day somebody will actually step to the plate and say, 'I believe that you can do this.' So I kind of had to hold out a little bit after people kind of accepted me in that role of the femme fatale in 'Two Days in the Valley' because I got offered a lot of roles just like it."
Shampoo? Not in true blue thespian's toolkit:
"I really fought for roles like 'Devil's Advocate' and 'The Yards' and 'Cider House Rules.' I flew myself out to screen test and stalked and almost went to prison. And, you know, I didn't wash my hair to kind of break this idea of what people kind of thought of me. I was very lucky because I finally got to work on really good material."

How to Play... Baby Shower Bingo
Even though baby shower bingo is a pretty traditional shower game, there are plenty of ways to keep it modern and fresh.
Photo Credit: Baby Lifestyles
A Simple Set-Up
While mom-to-be is oohing and aahing over tiny baby shoes and plush receiving blankets, you can keep guests engaged with a round of baby shower bingo. The only supplies needed for this budget-friendly activity are printable bingo cards and pen/pencils/crayons. Bonus points for coordinating your cards with your party theme.
Photo Credit: Bowtied
Leverage the Registry
Once guests are seated and waiting for the gift opening to begin, pass out the bingo cards and crayons. You can either add common baby registry items such as diapers, bottles, and bibs in the squares on the card yourself or leave the squares blank and guests can fill in with their own gift ideas.
Photo Credit: Baby Lifestyles
Let the Games Begin!
Then, it's bingo as usual! As the mom-to-be opens each gift, guests mark off the matching words on their bingo cards. This gives the bored-at-heart something simple to do, and encourages your chattier guests to keep side conversations at bay.
The first guest to complete a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal row shouts "Bingo!" and wins the round. Depending on the size of the shower, the game can continue with additional rounds.

The Prize
And, finally, in the true spirit of any game you should reward the winner. Cute, affordable prize ideas include baby-themed candy, candles in mason jars, a Starbucks gift card, or pink or blue OPI Nail Polish—depending on the gender of Baby-to-be.

EL PASO — The Super Bowl was a time for family and friends to get together and watch the Ravens take on the 49ers Sunday evening.
In a town filled with Cowboys fans, several El Pasoans found themselves cheering for the Ravens.
"I don't want the 49ers to win and get another ring cause it's all about the Cowboys," said Debbie Ortega.
A Super Bowl victory for the California team would have given the 49ers a 6th Super Bowl win, one more than the Cowboys.
Fans at the Brew Sports Pub and Grill proudly wore their red 49ers gear.
Let's go Niners let's go," chanted young Genesis Covarrubias.
Even with trash talking between fans in El Paso, most agreed the game was a good way to bring them together.
"It's about spending time with family and creating memories," Ortega said. "That's the best part about it."

Is it possible for both Karl Marx and Ayn Rand to be correct?
Two pop-cultural experiences this week got me thinking; is it possible that both capitalism and socialism have their place in society? Is this what historically maintains economic equilibrium (at least, one theoretical and organic)? We industrialize, followed by a period of economic redistribution and cultural 'flourishing,' and repeat this process.
These two contrasting ideas both had their time in history, and here is pop-culture to prove it: television: socialism, Marx "Do what will make you happy, and don't lie to yourself, the latter of course a main theme of the series. "I always thought that you were very single-minded about your dreams and that that would help you through life," he tells her. "But now I see that you skipped the struggle and went right to the end." "It's not the end, it's the beginning," Megan says. "This apartment, this wealth that someone handed to you," he replies. "This is what Karl Marx was talking about. And it's not because someone else deserves it. It's because it is bad for your soul." "Don't pick at me with your politics because you hate that I love Don," she says. "No, I hate that you give up. Don't let your love for this man stop you from doing what you want to do." -- Mad Men (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049173/)
literature: capitalism, Rand How to Get a Job on Wall Street: PROVEN WAYS TO LAND A HIGH-PAYING, HIGH-POWERED JOB -- Scott Hoover (http://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Job-Wall-Street/dp/0071778535)
Look at the here and now: we value economic achievement, a capitalist ideal. but on a temporal economic scale, say the 1920s, marxism attempted to redistribute those economic achievements so that people could work less and thrive culturally (marxism was obviously only a consideration in economic policy that would change, at the time, failing capitalism). Many contend that the same is being done now (Obama as changing capitalism). Is there a natural cycle to this?

peter lindsay 50+Feb 13 2013: Here's the thing. If everyone in the world was totally self centred and focussed only on there own needs Ayn Rand would be right. If everyone in the whole world was totally altruistic and only concerned with what is best for society as a whole then "Karl Marx" would be right. (Marx is in quotes because what is popularly considered Marxism isn't actually Marxism) Lets say pure socialism. The problem is neither of these scenarios is a realistic representation of the world. Therefore neither of them are right.
pat gilbert 100+
Feb 13 2013: Survival of the genes is intrinsic to humans (Dawkins) ... both altruism and selfishness exist in humans. Under certain circumstances self centered behavior works best for individual fitness and under other circumstances altruism within cooperative groups works best to promote the fitness of a group. Both human inclinations have survived the test of time.

Patrick Kane and Henrik Lundqvist Renew Partnerships with Bauer Hockey
Top NHL All-Stars Continue Exclusive Relationship with World's Leading Hockey Manufacturer
EXETER, NH – February 22, 2013 – Bauer Hockey, Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of ice hockey equipment, announced today it has extended its exclusive partnership with Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks and Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers.
Lundqvist, who earned the 2012 Vezina Trophy as the league's top goaltender, and Kane, who amassed 66 points during the 2011-12 season, will continue to exclusively wear BAUER equipment on ice this season. Both players will also work closely with Bauer Hockey's leading research and development team to assist the company in developing the most advanced hockey equipment in the industry. In addition, both athletes will appear in Bauer Hockey's advertising and marketing efforts including the company's recent "Own The Moment" campaign.
"The decision by Patrick and Henrik to renew their partnerships with Bauer Hockey is a testament to both our industry-leading product as well as the strength of our overall brand," said Kevin Davis, President and CEO of Bauer Performance Sports. "As two of the top players in the world, both players demand the most advanced equipment for their game and both have experienced success while wearing BAUER. Whether it's Patrick winning the Stanley Cup in 2010 or Henrik earning the Vezina last year – we take great pride that both achieved those accomplishments with Bauer Hockey."
Kane, who amassed 369 points in just five seasons since bursting into the league during the 2007-08 season, has become synonymous with the BAUER VAPOR line of products. Kane's swift skating style combined with his crafty stickhandling has been a perfect match for the product that Bauer Hockey describes as the equipment for players looking for the utmost in speed and agility. This season, Kane will be one of the first players in the league to debut the all-new VAPOR APX2 skate, which is scheduled to hit retail stores in April.
"Bauer Hockey is much more than simply an equipment company. I truly look to them as a partner and I wouldn't want to partner with any other brand," Kane said. "I'm excited to continue our partnership and I look forward to several more years working alongside the Bauer Hockey team."
Last season, Lundqvist, posted one of the league's best goals against averages at 1.97 and compiled a .930 save percentage. The Swedish-born netminder became the first goaltender in the NHL to wear the revolutionary BAUER SUPREME TOTALONE goal pads. The pads, which feature interchangeable rods to adjust pad stiffness, debuted with Lundqvist during the 2012 Winter Classic.
"As a goaltender, my equipment is so important and with Bauer Hockey, I know everything is going to perform at the highest possible level and with that confidence I can focus on my game rather than on my equipment," Lundqvist said. "Not only does the product meet my high expectations, but so do all the people that I've come in contact with at the company. The entire organization is a class act and it shows in the attention to detail and service that they provide."
Kane and Lundqvist are part of Bauer Hockey's impressive roster of elite athletes that also includes Alex Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Toews, Tyler Seguin, Ryan Kesler and Eric Staal to name just a few. For a complete list of the Bauer Hockey roster visit the BAUER ATHLETE FEATURE.

Local Athlete's Growing List of Achievements Instills Global Inspiration
Bauer Hockey would like to recognize and congratulate Victoria Arlen, an 18-year-old from Exeter, NH, whose achievements already include four medals from the London Paralympics, a world-record in the 100-meter freestyle swim and a spot on the Women's National sled hockey team.
A high school senior, Victoria's growing list of accomplishments includes more than most people will amass in a lifetime, but for her to reach such achievements without the use of her legs is truly inspirational.
NHL.com recently wrote a profile of her accomplished career as a hockey player, swimmer, actress, model and motivational speaker. Don't miss this inspirational must-read story, in which Victoria talks about how the University of New Hampshire's Northeast Passage program helped her develop not only confidence but words to live by: "face it, embrace it, defy it and conquer it."
Bauer Hockey continues to be a proud partner of Northeast Passage, a sled hockey program for youth and adults that serves more than 100 athletes. Five years ago Bauer Hockey helped kick-start the youth program and recently we expanded our partnership as we outfit 40 players with new equipment, including shin pads, shoulder pads, helmets, gloves and roller bags.

Player Safety In Today's Game
We've had quite a few questions about the unfortunate injury to Erik Karlsson of the Ottawa Senators last night.
Most people that have asked us about it are not aware that we manufacture a protective, cut-resistant Kevlar skate sock. While no product can protect a player 100% from injuries like these, it's important to educate players (and parents) that products like these do exist.
The Elite Performance skate sock features the maximum player protection available in a performance skate sock. As we mentioned, it has exclusive KEVLAR® brand fiber for cut resistant protection
The yellow cut resistant protection zones encompass the entire lower leg area: just below the knee, around the calf, at the Achilles heel and around the ankle and across top of foot.
The sock also features THERMO-MAX+ performance yarn technology which helps with anti-odor and moisture management.
At Bauer, we strive to make the player better and to keep them safe when they're on the ice. If you're looking for any more information regarding our Protective Base Layer, please visit the Gear Section.
For any questions or if you need to contact BAUER HOCKEY, please visit the CONTACT US PAGE.
Grow The Game
Kevin Davis, the CEO of Bauer Hockey, recently sat down with USA Hockey Magazine and talked about BAUER's 'Grow The Game' initiative.
Below is an excerpt from the article and a link to the full article.
"In the United States, there is a growing sense of excitement as new programs such as the American Development Model and innovative growth initiatives have put the sport on the right track for growth in the number of players and the quality of their experiences. Add to that another gold medal at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship, and things are looking up.
In Canada, the birthplace of the game, there seems to be a different feeling as countless articles have popped up in national publications bemoaning a dip in the number of players who are entering the game, to go along with the number of new Canadian families that have not embraced the game as part of their national character.
As a company with its roots firmly anchored on both sides of the border, Bauer Hockey is looking to launch a 10-year global initiative designed to increase hockey participation, with a lofty goal of adding 1 million additional players – on top of current participation growth projections – by 2022."

5 tips for retiring early
It's a lot easier if you begin preparing years ahead, but it can be done even if you don't start saving until you are 50.
This post comes from Lynn Mucken at MSN Money. See the end of this post for a chance to win a $100 gift card.
It's the American dream. No, not the one about a house, a good job, a sweet ride, lots of electronics and nice vacations. Your next American dream -- early retirement.
Whether you are 48, 59, 62 or even 65 (a year earlier than full Social Security payments currently kick in), it can be done. It just takes more than a bit of planning.
Here are five tips for making it happen: Post continues after video.
Save, save, save. For years, financial planners said you needed 70% of your pre-retirement income to maintain the same lifestyle when retired. Now, noting that Americans are living and staying active longer, their low-end number is 80%, with a strong suggestion that 100% would be more prudent.
Social Security and a pension won't nearly cover that for most of us; the only way we can get there is by saving. You've heard it before: Pay yourself first and start early. If you are putting money into your children's college funds, match those amounts for you and your spouse. Max out the 401k contribution (even if there is no match).
Sure it's tough, but save in little ways: Skip those five $3.50 lattes each week, and take a bag lunch to work ($2 versus $5 for soup and a sandwich). Those alone will save you at least $1,500 a year. After 30 years, at a 5% investment return, that's $111,000 in your retirement fund. You don't have to go without vacations or expanded cable. Instead, live a life of "cautious abandon" by establishing a realistic savings program, sticking to it and feeling free to spend everything else. Try using MSN's retirement calculator.
And remember, it is never too late, even if putting your kids through college and some poor decision-making leaves you with nothing in your nest egg as you turn 50. Pound that 401k, contribute to IRAs. The target: Save 20% of your gross income. It piles up fast. For more specific advice if you're a late starter, read "Playing catch-up: Start in your 50s."
Analyze your dreams. How do you want to spend your retirement years? Working in the garden of your home that's paid for? No sweat. Scratching that long-ignored travel itch or golfing four times a week? Might be a problem.
So be realistic about the future. Dreams are just dreams. Retirement is real life. "The biggest challenge for some of these people is going to be how to spend that time," says Reginald Tilley, a certified financial planner in Bellevue, Wash. "Because if you get six months into this thing and you find that you're bored, you have no sense of purpose, there's a big void in your life, you're probably at more risk from an emotional point of view than you'll ever be from a financial point of view."
Realistically assess the risks. One word: inflation. This is the worst enemy of the retiree. Yes, it is no factor today, but for half a decade in the late 1970s and early 1980s, it was over 10% each year. An $800 pension without a cost-of-living adjustment in 1979 was worth $523 in 1984.
That's a worse-case situation, of course, but look at a more typical figure, 3%. According to "6 keys to an early retirement": "The $50,000 you think you have to live on will be worth only $48,500 next year, $36,871 in 10 years and $27,189 in 20. There's a big difference between living on $50,000 and on $27,189, and it's unlikely that your expenses will be cut in half in that time."
And there are other possible problems: ballooning health care costs, cutbacks in Social Security and Medicare, increased taxes and fees to cover federal, state and local deficits. Being too pessimistic in predicting the future is only a small mistake; being too optimistic? A big one.
Crunch the numbers. Spend a couple of weeks reading -- going to Bing or MSN Money and punching in "early retirement" is a good start -- to figure out everything you need to include in your calculations. Then list your financial assets and match those against your anticipated future expenses for the life you want to live. Some things to consider:
- Housing. If your home is paid for, great. But be sure to include rising property taxes and maintenance expenses -- they are way more than you think.
- Health care. During the gap between retirement and Medicare, you have to have health insurance. That can be $1,200 a month or more for a couple in their 60s, and you still will have plenty of out-of-pocket expenses. Even when you reach 65, Medicare isn't free and it doesn't pay for everything.
- Transportation. Check the mileage on your vehicles and compute the difference between their readings and 150,000 miles, which today's cars easily reach. If the gap is 150,000 or less and you drive 20,000 miles a year, you will be needing new wheels inside of seven or eight years.
- Recreation. Ask any tour operator. Those 60 and above are their primary customers. Foreign travel can be spendy. The golf courses are crowded with older people. Golf is an expensive sport. The old stereotype of retirees spending quiet time on the back deck has been replaced by spending time on a cruise ship's deck.
- Your lifespan. Americans are living longer. If you make 65, your life expectancy is still 18 more years if you're a man and 21 if you're a woman. So, if you're planning to quit work at 50, you better have enough money to last another 40 years to be on the safe side.
Work just a bit longer. So you're 55 and itching to start the good life. Even just a little more work can ensure a comfortable lifestyle. Consider these figures:
- A couple earns $100,000 a year and has a portfolio worth $500,000. Working and socking away 15% of gross income for three more years would add 28% to their retirement package.
- Even part-time work makes a big difference. An income of $20,000 a year is the equivalent of withdrawing 4% a year from a $500,000 portfolio.
"You don't have to pay for expenses out of savings," says Christine Fahlund, a senior financial planner at T. Rowe Price. "You meet them with your paycheck."

TALLAHASSEE -- Shortly after winning the GOP nomination in 2010, Rick Scott announced to the world through Facebook that his family had rescued a Labrador retriever.
And, with help from his Facebook friends, Scott gave it a name: Reagan.
"The Scott family is proud to announce that the name (chosen by you) for their newly adopted pup is Reagan! Thanks to everyone who participated in the fun contest,'' read Scott's announcement on his Facebook page.
Commenters were ecstatic, congratulating Scott for getting a rescue dog instead of a pure bred like Bo, the Portuguese water dog President Barack Obama adopted in 2009. And friends saluted the dog's name, an homage to former President Ronald Reagan.
But where is Reagan today? The last time Reagan made the newspapers was the day before Scott was sworn in as governor in January 2011.Asked last week what had happened to the dog, Scott's current and former communications directors refused to answer.
Brian Burgess, communications director during the campaign and for more than a year after Scott took office, now holds a similar position for the state GOP. When a Times reporter asked him where the dog is, Burgess said he thought it "weird'' that two Times reporters would contact him six minutes apart with questions dating back to the 2010 campaign.
But he wouldn't say where the dog was and accused reporters of "surfing some old Facebook or website pages.'' The governor's staff obviously was aware of publicity that dogged Republican Mitt Romney last year over reports that he once tied his dog, Seamus, to the top of a car while going on a family vacation.
On the other end of the spectrum, dogs can be a political plus. In California, Gov. Jerry Brown's Corgi, Sutter Brown, has a cult-like following of nearly 5,000 Twitter followers. Last year, Sutter became a mascot of sorts for a campaign to raise income taxes on wealthy Californians. (The proposition passed.)
Last week, Burgess testily emailed that he was working on an answer and recognized "the potential for a PR nightmare if the Tampa Bay Times doesn't receive a photo of Reagan next to today's copy of the Tampa Bay Times. So take it to the bank I'm getting you every bit of info I can lay my hands on.''
The next day, Burgess said he was referring all questions about the dog to Melissa Sellers, the governor's new communications director. Sellers responded over two days that she was far too busy to find an answer to the question.
A spokesman for the governor's wife also declined to respond to questions about Reagan, saying only that the Scotts have one dog. "Her name is Tallee and she is a 7-year-old rescue Lab,'' said Jackie Schutz, a spokeswoman for Mrs. Scott.
Where Tallee came from and where Reagan went were still unknown.
This week, the Times asked the governor to clear up the mystery.
"He was a rescue dog,'' Scott said, "and he couldn't be around anybody that was carrying anything, and so he wouldn't get better."
Scott said Reagan never bit anyone but "scared the living daylights'' out of people at the mansion. He said one kitchen employee threatened to quit and photographer Eric Tournay was frightened when the dog "barked like crazy'' every time he saw him with a camera.
So the Scotts gave the dog back to his prior owner, Scott said, about a month after the family moved to Tallahassee. After learning that Times reporters had talked to the governor, a spokeswoman called to say Reagan had been returned about a year ago to All Pets Grooming and Boarding, a business in Naples.
The story didn't end there.
On Tuesday, the day the dog story ran in the Tampa Bay Times, WTSP-10, a southwest Florida television station reported that Reagan was living on a nearby horse ranch. "Sometimes dogs don't fit right," Kelly Norman, owner of All Pets Grooming and Boarding, told the television station.
The dog's new name? Pluto — not Bush, Clinton or Obama.
Tampa Bay Times staff writers Aaron Sharockman, Steve Bousquet and Katie Sanders contributed to this report.

Any suggestions for GOOD kosher wine?
I am visiting my parents soon and am pretty sick of drinking the Manishevitz that for some reason stays in their frig year round. I want them to expand their taste, but I don't really know what is good. Suggestions would be much appreciated.
White? Red?
For white and not much money, I'd go with Baron Herzog Chardonnay
For red and not much money, I'd go with Carmel Cabernet Sauvignon
On the assumption that you do not have access to some of the larger selections available in a few stores, I would recommend a Baron Herzog Cabernet Sauvignon.
We just visited the Rimon winery in Israel. They make pomegranate wine and we had a wine tasting at the winery (I also understand they just won Kosherfest's award for best new kosher product). they had 3 types of wine, dry, semisweet and dessert wine.
I enjoyed the dry wine very much. Pomegranate wine is a very good anti-oxident too (even better that pomegranate juice). I'm pretty sure it can be obtained in the states
It depends on what you have access to, but for the mass market Kosher wines, I prefer Baron Herzog and Hagafen. One of my favorite Kosher wines however is Spanish, Celler de Capçanes Montsant Peraj Ha'Abib Kosher. Their Flor de Primavera is also Kosher and enjoys a good reputation worldwide.
re: craigcep
There are many excellent kosher wines on the market these days. Goose Bay, out of New Zealand, makes a delicious pinot noir and a wonderful sauvignon blanc, both at a reasonable price. I would happily drink them even if they were not kosher. Yarden, an Israeli winemaker, makes fabulous wine. Their dessert wine, a muscat, is particularly drinkable, although sweet.
Several Italian winemakers are also producing excellent kosher wines, these days.
If they're used to drinking Manishewitz then they're not going to suddenly enjoy a full-bodied dry red. I'd suggest easing them in with a quality wine that's on the fruitier side, like Baron Herzog Zinfandel that craigcep recommends (they make a late harvest version that's very fruity) or jeunesse, or maybe a less fruity but still relatively soft red like the rioja from Ramon Cardova.
re: LI Guy
I second the recommendation of Baron Herzog jeunesse.
Recently I've been drinking the Gabriele wines from Italy. I've tried several varieties and found them all very good, especially the pinot noir.
re: LI Guy
So many use the term "fruity" when what they really mean is "sweet". Why? "Fruity" really means having a fruit aroma, and can run the spectrum from sweet to totally dry wine, most often describing a ripe wine, sometimes one with a very slight amount of residual sugar. But Jeunesse has far more than just a slight amount of residual sugar. I prefer to call a spade a spade. Why serve a mediocre example of a sweet red wine, when you can serve a very good example of a sweet wine. If red, you might want to try Herzog's Black Muscat, which at least has some quality. And even better are some of the late harvest whites available, some from Herzog, some from various Israeli wineries, some from Hungary (Tokay), or from the Loire, or perhaps a Sauternes, of which several good ones are kosher. If they like sweet, turn them on to something that will make them say "wow", rather than just another mediocre wannabe wine like Jeunesse. Herzog makes excellent Cabs, but they're dry. They have good late harvest Rieslings and Chenins, and the Black Muscat is quite decent too.
There are some truly wonderful kosher wines. I agree with Goose Bay and Yarden. Baron Herzog is overhyped; some of the wines are good & others are just passable. Here is my suggestion, since the quality truly varies year to year: call around to the shuls & see if anyone (usually mens' clubs) is doing a kosher wine tasting prior to Pesach. And call a few well-stocked local wine stores. Even if you can't taste it, you'll come across at least a few knowledgeable people who can help you out. Some of the kosher wines occasionally get reviewed by Wine Spectator & other such publications, and I've found those reviews (plus the tastings) to really give me good guidance when I buy my kosher wines.
Is it hard to find kosher wines by you? If you or your parents live near a large Jewish area you should be able to find a kosher wine and spirits store. It may even be worth it to travel a little out of your way to get a little stock of wines for them to keep for your visits. I second the recommendations for the Rimon winery it is really special and makes a great gift, I also prefer the dry. The Herzog Black Muscat is good if they like a little sweet. Golan winery has great wines, Tishbi winery has a great emerald reisling. The French Fortant has a good Merlot. Nowadays there is no reason to suffer the Manischevits wine, sorry. There are superb kosher Israeli wines.
To slightly redirect, does anyone have recommendations for more expensive kosher wines. I see plenty of wines in the $40 to $70 range at my usual wine shop (a lot of French reds, in particular), but have been hesitant to buy without having a sense for their quality. Any recommendations (either pro or con)? Ganeden, as the professional, I'm particularly interested in your thoughts on this. Thanks.
re: aivri
The Celler de Capçanes Montsant Peraj Ha'Abib mentioned by dinwiddie earlier in this thread is well worth the $40-50 it typically sells for.
Have you tried asking the shop owner for recommendations? In my experience most are quite knowledgeable and happy to help, especially in smaller shops.
re: aivri
You know, I'm still sitting on 900 cases of my own wine, so I don't purchase others- any time I drink them, it's provided by someone else. A year or 2 ago, I did have a Petite Castel that I thought was terrific. Of the few expensive wines I drink each year, only 1 or 2 stand out as being worth the price, to my perspective. I have, however, heard good things about some of the classified growths that have recently sprouted up kosher. The Leoville Poyferre in particular. And I'v eheard excellent things about the kosher Sauternes. I haven't had them. The special selections of Herzog have always struck me as high quality and worthy, if a little boring stylistically. And the Israeli Cabs I've had have most frequesntly struck me as high quality, but produced in that fruity, international style that I despise, made famous by Parker's tastes. Mostly, I just enjoy drinking my Cab, which used to be $40 but now is considerably less. Other people, though, either love or hate it. Bottom line is I'm out of touch with the industry, as I sold the winery 3 years ago, and have been drinking mostly my own wine since. However, I can tell you that any of the wines in those price ranges will provide you with a far different experience than the Jeunesse that seems to be all the rage in this thread (grin).
re: lickety
Best wine i've tasted hands down, is Baron Herzog Chalk Hill. around $50 a bottle. The best. (not sweet though)
re: rorkesdrift
Teal Lake and Goose Bay are made by the same people.
re: zsero
If you're not near a wine store that sells kosher wine you may want to try www.kosherwine.com who have a huge selection and will ship. If you buy a case, it usually runs around $2 per bottle for shipping, and their prices are pretty good, especially when they have sales or clearance.
re: zsero
zsero, if that's true, Goose Bay is making a mistake.
Teal Lake is certified by O-U with P and Mevushal
Goose Bay is certified by [KA] with P and Mevushal
while I would drink both, I would hesitate to give any
[KA] certified item as a house gift because my people
are not familiar with that organization. so if these two
Teal Lake (Australia) and Goose Bay (New Zealand)
are in fact the same company, they are hurting their
more premium priced Goose Bay bottles, by avoiding
the O-U certification.
I would like to thank everyone contributing to these wine
threads including: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/361936
as I needed to buy a "well informed" wine for my Lunch hosts.
after reading both threads, I settled on a bottle of;
2004 Teal Lake Shiraz - only $13 here in Flushing NY.
they also had a "Special Reserve" version for $18,
but unless someone tells me it's really worth $5+
for a prettier bottle with allegedly premium grapes,
I'm not going to bother upgrading it.
I look forward to trying some of the Goose Bay,
Rimon, Bartenura and Herzog's recommended by
my fellow Chowhounders by this coming Pessach IYH.
I noticed nobody mentioned Tishbi wines from Israel.
are they subpar or simply not well known yet.
re: Joe Berger
You think the OU sends anyone to Australia to certify the wine? They take their fee and rely on the KA. Look at the cork on Teal Lake wine, and it has KA imprinted on it, not OU. I guess the OU haven't been paid for the Goose Bay production yet...
re: rorkesdrift
Nope. They're obviously made in different countries, but it is the same business.
Oy! Go to www.KosherWine.com and enjoy--there are reviews to guide you and very good choices from around $12 a bottle to $120 and up. That way you can select what you'd like and call your local wine store to see if it is in stock or can be ordered.
re: Foodie18
note most local wine stores require that you order so many bottles. I'd also recommend you check out total wine and more if they are in your area.
I too am looking for recommendations. I am not a wine drinker. So far the best wine that I tasted is Kedem Cream Malaga. I also like Bartenura (don't remember the name, it is bubbly and comes in a blue bottle). My son in law once gave me a "good" wine, I believe it was Merlot - vile tasting; I had to pour it down the drain. I am looking for options without spending a small fortune trying all the variations and manufactures.
re: MartyB
the creme malaga is good but I like the Creme concord better. the liquor store next to Shop and Stop seems to always be out of the creme concord so I guess I'm not the only one who likes it.
Robert Parker recently rated 97 Israeli wines (beware, some are not mevushal and some are even not Kosher, so please check them out before you buy)
The consistently high ratings are for Castel and Golan Heights/Yarden.
re: cweissman
The list has no meaning to me. Could you pick out a sweet (kosher) wine(s) from the list for me to try?
re: MartyB
Sure. These are good sweet wines:
Golan Heights Winery,Yarden, Muscat
Golan Heights Winery,Yarden, Heightswine
Tzora, Or, Dessert Wine
Carmel, Gewurztraminer
If you want to try a good beginners red wine, slightly sweet but just a tad sophisticated, you might like the Baron Herzog Jeunesse.
You've probably already had your visit and am curious to know which wine you ended up bringing to them. Why do you want your parents to expand their tastes? I know it just so that YOU have something decent to drink when you visit. But that's cool, they might end up liking it too....if not, more for you to enjoy!
It's apparent that too many people didn't pay attention to your question when they responded. Why people would think that a dry wine would be warmly received after a lifetime of drinking Manishewitz escapes me. As far as my suggestions go (for your future visits), I'd say that you'd be pretty safe with a Moscato D'asti or Malvasia. Both very light, sweet and fruity (some brands more fruity, some more sweet) and generally enjoyed by people who aren't serious wine drinkers. Want something a little more sophisticated? Go with almost anything late harvest. Some will be cloyingly sweet (good for the Manishewitz drinkers), and others less so - one of my mainstream favorites is Herzog's Late Harvest Zinfandel. Other wines you can try and expect at least moderate success would be Herzog's Black Muscat or Byblos semi-sweet Bonarda (distributed by Abarbanel). Don't be fooled by the "semi-sweet" - it's rich and definitely sweet. Another suggestion is, depending on where you or your parents live, go into the wine shop that carries a nice kosher selection and tell them exactly what you've told us. If they're any good, they'll direct you properly.
re: ChefDude
Herzog has a "Prix" wine that I've read about, but have been unable to find in my local Teaneck and Riverdale wine stores. Anyone see it around?
By the way, for those of you out there who enjoy real wines, I recommend virtually anything coming out of South Africa. I only drink kosher and Rothberg Cellars wines have been blowing me away! I just had their Winemaker's Reserve Cabernet...my friends don't do real wines, so I drank the whole bottle myself. Okay, it was a 4 hour dinner, but still, that may be one of my Seder wines.
Also, Beckett's Flat coming out of Australia - phenomenal. It's apparent that they know how to make wine the right way. Their Cerise (rose) is super. Don't be fooled because it's a rose - it's NOTHING like Herzog's white zin.
And an old standby of mine has been Rashi's Barbera D'Alba.
In general the wines I buy are in the $14-$20 range.
Reds only-weinstock cabernet sauvignon or tepperberg silver. Both excellent dry wines. not too pricey either. As for whites, I'm still tasting.

Conservation and Research Station
The Okapi Breeding and Research Station, near the village of Epulu in the northeastern area of the Democratic Republic of Congo, is the Okapi Wildlife Reserve headquarters for the Institute in Congo for the Conservation of Nature (ICCN) and serves as a base of operations for Okapi Conservation Project (OCP) staff. It is from the Station that the staff manages the 13,700 square kilometer Okapi Wildlife Reserve. Support from OCP and its partners provides the infrastructure for the Station and food, housing, clothing, clinical facilities, and schools for the employees and families of OCP and ICCN. In all, some 2,500 residents of the area benefit from this support.
Radiating out from Epulu, researchers monitor the forest and collect valuable data. Anti-poaching patrols are trained and outfitted. Education staff prepares materials and travel throughout the Reserve to empower the local people with knowledge and to instill pride in the natural treasures and biodiversity of their country.
As stability has returned to the country in the wake of six years of civil war, eco-tourism, which was a valuable source of revenue for the Research Station, may once again be possible. Guest houses and bungalows situated on the bank of the Epulu River have been rebuilt. Renowned filmmaker Alan Root described this site on the Epulu River as "one of the most beautiful places in all of Africa."

In January 2010, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that opened the floodgates for increased corporate influence in our elections. This decision, Citizens United v. FEC, rolled back long-standing restrictions on corporate spending in elections, allowing corporations, trade associations and non-profits to spend unlimited amounts of money directly on elections.
Over the past three years, Public Advocate de Blasio has used public actions and negotiations to persuade companies such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley to adopt policies against spending treasury dollars in elections. In August 2010, he also founded the Coalition for Accountability in Political Spending (CAPS), the nation's first and only bi-partisan coalition of elected officials dedicated to curbing corporate influence in our elections. To learn more about CAPS, visit http://politicalspending.org.
In fall 2011, we took the fight to stop secret corporate spending in elections to the steps of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.). With a simple rule change, the S.E.C. can require all publicly-traded companies to disclose their election spending. In February 2012, we gained new momentum as SEC Commissioner Aguilar announced his support for these reforms. That's 1 down, 2 more Commissioners to go to secure a majority vote for passage! Join the effort by completing the form on the right to send a letter directly to the S.E.C.
