Measuring accrued-to-date liabilities of public pension systems: Method, data and limitations
This paper introduces the approach of the Freiburg model to quantify accrued-to-date liabilities (ADL) of public pension schemes. The presented framework has been applied to carry out benchmark calculations for 19 EU member states on behalf of the Eurostat/ECB Contact Group on Pensions. We will show that the Freiburg model represents a valuable instrument to calculate pension schemes' ADL on a relatively small data base. Furthermore, limitations and possible extensions of the model will be outlined.

What Would You Do If You Were Invisible For a Day?
When I say "If you had the power of invisibility, what would you do first?" . . . I know your mind jumped straight to "Locker room." Even if you give me a different answer, it's a scientific fact that the first thing you thought of was seeing people naked.
Which is why I'm incredibly skeptical of the results of this survey. Nestle asked Americans about all sorts of things related to "fun." (--Yep, roll your eyes . . .) One of the questions was: "What would you do if you were invisible for a day?"
Only 10% of people said they'd sneak into a men's or women's locker room. For what it's worth, FOUR TIMES more men picked this option than women. But, yes, some women DID go with this.
The most popular answer was "play a prank on my friends," at 48%. 24% said they'd sneak backstage at a concert, and 18% said they'd spy on people.

Are you thinking about fostering?
The county council says why not take the first step to making it a reality by dropping in to Haywards Heath later this month to find out more about what being a foster carer involves?
An all-day drop-in event is being held on Tuesday, April 15, from 10am to 4pm, at Haywards Heath Library, Boltro Road, Haywards Heath, RH16 1BN.
It will give people a chance to speak to members of West Sussex County Council's fostering team and ask questions about fostering.
Elaine and her husband, from the Mid Sussex area, have been foster carers for more than four years.
She said: "My advice to anyone who wants to foster is to go for it. Take the first step, make up your mind to enjoy it and the difference you can make to a child's life.
"We foster older children, between 8 and 16, in long-term placements and it is one of the most fulfilling things I have done.
"With this age group, they have often been through a lot of upheaval in their lives and probably feel like they have no control over their lives.
"It is challenging and it does bring some issues, which we manage when they arise – but when you see how much they can grow by just having that sense of feeling settled and belonging, it is very rewarding."
Peter Evans, County Council Cabinet Member for Children – Start of Life, added: "Foster carers make an enormous different to the lives of vulnerable children or young people.
"They provide a safe and loving home, with support and stability, at a time when the child needs it most.
"It is incredibly worthwhile, but making the decision to become a foster carer isn't something to be taken lightly – and that's why we regularly hold information drop-in sessions.
"They provide a great opportunity for people to find out more. No question is too big or too small."
Foster carers come from all walks of life and from a range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. People from a variety of backgrounds can apply to foster, regardless of their marital status or sexuality.
Fostering can be either short or long-term and can range from just a few days to several years. There are also several types of fostering.
Foster carers receive a comprehensive support package from the Council, including on-going training and financial allowances to meet the needs of the children and young people in their care.
Find out more about fostering at www.westsussex.gov.uk/fostering or call 0330 222 7775.

Dances organized by high school students in Lodi have become a yearly ritual, attracting hundreds of teens, not only locally, but from schools in surrounding cities as well.
These dances are not affiliated with any school, but that doesn't mean they're impervious to rules and order. In many cases, parents chaperone and those in charge of the facilities where the dances are held hire security guards for the event.

This column is part of a feature series which focuses on a different Centre County family each week. Five new columns will be released each month unless some technical difficulty enters the picture.
This column's focus is on WOODS. An effort has been made to identify all persons carrying that name in the 1890 U.S. Census, using the Centre County business directory which was formed from a preliminary review of that census before the larger set of 1890 U.S. Census records was destroyed by fire. (Sadly, the postal directory does not typically provide the ages of females, but it's the best record we've got).
No books in the Pennsylvania Room of the Centre County Library in Bellefonte apparently deal with the Woods family.
There are 18 different first-name entries for Woods in John Blair Linn's History of Centre and Clinton County (1883). In addition, there are several mentions of the name in Beers' Commemorative Biographical Record of Central Pennsylvania (1898). And, now, your ancestors' Woods neighbors in 1890:
In BELLEFONTE Borough:
Edward, 37, clerk--43 Blanchard Sallie Mary Ellen--over 13 W. Bishop James, 45, laborer--130 E. Logan Tillie William W., 30, laborer--212 E. Bishop

hen the adult daughter of a U.S. Congresswoman is raped and murdered in her own home, Brenda and the Priority Murder Squad are assigned to solve the case. The young woman had recently broken up with her boyfriend and her mother insists that her daughter had no enemies. Alone in the woman's apartment, Brenda is attacked and nearly raped before she is able to subdue her attacker. It all seems like a pretty open and shut case until the culprit tells them the woman had advertised for someone to rape her on an S&M website. After twisting the website owners arm just a tad, Brenda gets a list of everyone who may have visited the sight. She tracks down the attacker but when he tells her that the woman fought back quite violently, she realizes there is something else going on as well.Resumen IMDb.com

The Generosity of the Landowner
Matthew 20:1-16
Rev. Dr. Sergio Arevalo, Jr.
September 21, 2014 (15th Sunday after Pentecost)
In the Philippines nowadays, one of the important issues is pork barrel. Some congressmen and senators connived with one another, including some crooked people like Napoles and company, just to shrewdly withdraw the money of the people through the help of bogus non-profit organizations and projects. People are suffering from poverty and yet those corrupt politicians are enjoying the money of the people. Is that fair?
Our Parable today tells about fairness, generosity and love in the kingdom of God.
I. The Activities in the Kingdom
The Parable shows a usual business of a day. The landowner looked for more workers for his vineyard. The landowner did not stop, he looked for more workers in the early morning, at 9 in the morning, in the noon time, at 3 in the afternoon, and even at 5 in the afternoon.
We might conclude that his vineyard was so vast, and he needed more workers. The landowner called a lot of workers, but of course, he chose the right workers, he did not hire all of them, he chose those potential workers as indicated in verse 20:16.
II. The Agreement in the Kingdom
To persuade workers to work for his vineyard he promised them to pay one denarius each day. The denarius was a Roman silver coin in New Testament time. It took its name from it being equal to ten "asses", a number after 217 B.C. increased to sixteen (about 3.898 grams or .1375 oz.). It was the principal silver coin of the Roman Empire (Thayer's).
The workers worked for the day due to the landowner's fair deal with them.
III. The Generosity and Fairness in the Kingdom
The Parable shows the character of the Kingdom of God:
There's love or charity. The landowner showed his love through generosity by hiring the laborers even though the work time of the day was lesser. The landowner kept poor men to work, and kept them from idleness and poverty.
The Parable shows us how to love others. There's fairness and justice. In our world nowadays justice and fairness are showed only to those who are near to us, to those we want to love, to those who follow us, to those who uphold our will, to those who buy our products, and to those who belong to the same party, and are showed to those who have same color or same country. That's not love in the kingdom sense!
There's fairness in the kingdom. The landowner paid all the laborers according to their agreement: one denarius each day. For other laborers, the landowner was unfair since he paid other workers equally even though they worked for lesser time. But did he violate any agreement? Not even once! He did not take the salary of one laborer, and gave to another laborer. He did not say, since you worked only for few hours, I will give the rest of your salary to those who worked many hours in the vineyard. The Parable only shows that the landowner was generous to everybody. The landowner was true to his promise and agreement and he did not change the rules in the middle of the game. The landowner was indeed fair!
I watched the movie Apocalypto (2006) produced by Mel Gibson, and it shows that the powerful Mayan kingdom captured weak village people to make them slaves and offer them to their gods. At the top of their pyramid altar, their Mayan priests opened the hearts of the sacrificial men, beheaded and threw their heads and bodies down the last steps of the pyramid. The Mayans used and offered lives of others just to comply with their religion. It shows then the unfairness of their religious system.
I wish that our faith is not like that of Mayan religion, we shall uphold, pursue, and be a catalyst of God's fairness in every aspect of our life and daily businesses. If we do that we show to the world that we belong to the kingdom of God.
Another interpretation of the laborers' salary is reward. The early laborers were the early chosen ones by God for his kingdom, and there would be late laborers in the kingdom, but all of them will receive the same reward at the end of their work, and that's eternal life in his bosom.
The challenge for all of us nowadays is that we try to become catalyst of God's kingdom in our own community by being fair and equally generous to all people.

Why the decline in productivity is hurting wages
Posted August 29, 2016
Terry Bishnell says her job at a food-and-drug store near Detroit has not changed meaningfully in recent memory. Products are trucked in, stocked and ultimately sold using the same technologies and processes that have been in place for several years.
Business runs fairly well, she says, but not any more efficiently than it did four or five years earlier. "I can't think of one big change we've made in that time," Bishnell said after work on a recent summer afternoon. She said the last significant change came five years ago with an upgrade to the inventory tracking software.
By extension, Bishnell's hourly pay has hardly advanced. Her employer said its profits are only inching up and so it can afford only small annual cost-of-living raises. "I feel like I'm running in place," she said. "I'm not getting any farther ahead."
Bishnell's is a familiar experience among many American workers in the wake of the last recession, as sluggish business investment in new equipment and facilities has resulted in disappointing worker productivity levels for years, including notably poor showings during the first half of 2016.
Economists say improving nonfarm business productivity — defined as the goods and services produced per hour by workers — is a vital driver of higher living standards because when Americans produce more efficiently, their employers are able to apply the savings to the bottom line. Companies that are increasingly profitable are better positioned to raise wages, and when Americans earn more they tend to spend more, fueling economic growth and helping to create a virtuous cycle in which companies generate greater earnings, invest more and continue to grow.
"At the end of the day, greater productivity means a better way of life for more people," Lawrence White, an economist at New York University's Stern School of Business, said in an interview. "So this is a very important measurement of our economic health. Unfortunately, the trend has not been an especially good one."
Indeed, the U.S. Department of Labor said this month that second-quarter business productivity declined at a 0.5 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate. The number of hours that workers logged increased faster than the level of goods produced and services delivered, meaning the average workplace lost ground on the efficiency front.
A disappointing trend
It marked the third straight quarter of diminishing productivity — it fell 0.6 percent in the first quarter of this year and 2.4 percent in the final three months of 2015. The U.S. had not recorded a three-quarter negative streak since the 1970s.
On an annual basis, productivity has held in positive territory, though it is well below the levels of previous eras. The Labor Department estimated 0.9 percent productivity growth in 2015, following a 0.8 percent advance the year before.
The average annual rate of productivity growth from 2007 to 2015 was 1.3 percent per year, about half the pace recorded from 2000 to 2007 and far off the long-term rate of 2.2 percent per year from 1947 to 2015.
"It's not like we're going down the toilet," White said. "But we're definitely not headed in the direction we'd want."
What's to blame? White and other economists say the answer is multifaceted. One piece of the puzzle is the simple fact that the current era lacks a major innovation to dramatically bolster workplace efficiently. Past eras were boosted by the advent of automobiles, of telephones, of computers. Productivity notably improved in the 1990s and early 2000s with the adoption of the Internet for substantially faster communication and delivery of information. The economy boomed and household incomes jumped.
To be sure, Raymond James chief economist Scott Brown said in an interview, recent advancements in mobile phone technology and various computer applications have helped many Americans do their jobs more efficiently. That contributed to the modest annual gains of the past couple years.
"But even there, we've largely exhausted the benefits from those advancements because the efficiencies they bring are already built into our workplaces. So a lot of the gains are behind us," Brown added. That, he said, helps explain why productivity has begun to steadily decline in recent quarters.
What's more, economists say, in the aftermath of the 2008 recession, the worst downturn in generations, many businesses have been leery of making significant new investments, fearing that the choppy economic recovery over the past several years could at any time derail and force them to make painful cuts. Brown said employers often make big investments only when they are confident that they will be able to capitalize on them for years to come.
"And they just aren't confident," he said. "At least not enough of them have that confidence."
Bad news for paychecks
Economic growth and wage increases have both been tepid in the years since the last recession. Improvement on either front may depend upon productivity advances that, at the moment, appear elusive.
BMO Private Bank chief investment officer Jack Ablin, who examines labor force trends, noted that employers can of course raise wages without making productivity gains. But unless they want to cut into profits to fund pay increases — which many are loathe to do — most would have to raise prices to pay for higher wages. Higher prices would offset the benefits of higher wages.
In an email, Ablin laid out his vision for how higher productivity should help both employers and their workers:
"If a company achieved 5 percent more output from their existing workforce, all other things being equal, they should be gladly willing to offer a 3 percent wage increase and pocket the 2 percent difference," he said.
To be sure, as technology advances, there is potential for major innovation that could alter the productivity landscape. Pricewaterhouse Coopers notes that expectations are mounting for so-called service robots. The corporate consultant says in a report that if businesses such as hotels were to use robots to clean rooms and hallways, their employees could focus on customer interaction and developing new revenue-generating services and more efficient ways of delivering them.
But such technology is still in the works, and hastening both its development and eventual use would require businesses to make it known they would invest in such technology or other advances, and that is not happening at most companies. Ablin noted that business spending contracted at a 2.2 percent annualized rate in the second quarter. Additionally, inflation is tame amid the slow economic growth of the last few years, meaning even modest price increases have proven difficult for many companies to impose on their customers.
"Nowadays," he said, "scant productivity and low inflation leaves little room besides corporate profits to fund wage gains."
But that is not something most businesses can afford to do for any extended period. Companies will either have to take risk in the short term and invest in new equipment, software and other technology to bolster productivity to benefit their own long-term outlooks and that of their employees. Or they can hope that a world-changing invention ushers in a new era of efficiency.
But waiting and hoping is hardly a business strategy. And, as Ablin points out, weak wage gains over several more years could result in a perpetually listless economy. "This trend can't go on indefinitely," he said.

|Retro Inspired Style
From A-line mini dresses and circle skirts to retro frocks, polka dot outfits and bell bottom pants, if you are a vintage loving woman that loves to get many different uses out of a few pieces, you should have a few of these vintage-inspired styles that feature fun, whimsical prints that modern styles simply don't have.
Retro Fashion
Retro fashion is a style which entails wearing clothes commonly used in the past but not many women are bold enough to dress back wearing clothing of a bygone era. Indeed, not every woman has the knack to carry off the vintage look and 'wear it well', particularly retro fashion.
Wearing this style is even a little more difficult to pull off than other vintage styles, especially those of the pre-60's era. This is because though retro styles were quite conservative by nature . . . no trims, frills or embellishments (faux pearls, sequins, etc...) typical of the early to mid-20th century, they are not elegant and chic enough for today's special occasion wears.
Rather, the emphasis was more on prints, colours, and textures.
Skirts and dresses varied from the extremely short – the micro mini, to ankle length – the maxi. It was a time that fashion designers were open to a different form of experimentation and they were free-spirited enough to go "crazy" by "showing more skin than ever before".
- Bell-bottom jeans
- Over-sized sunglasses
- Fedora hats
- Funky jackets
- Gloves
- Scarves
- Flares
- Slim fit shirts
- Fly collars
- Block heeled footwear
- Low-rise and hipster pants
Famous Fashion Designers
Some of the famous designers of retro style include the following . . .
- Mary Quant
- Biba
- Ossie Clark
- Yves St. Laurent
Retro Hairstyles and Make-UpIt's difficult to talk about retro fashion without mentioning make-up and hairstyles of the time.
Make-up was generally heavy with a lot of emphases placed on the eyes which were heavily-lined and lips that were coated with bright and luscious red lipstick. Retro inspired fashionistas still wear much of this heavy make-up look.
Also, we mustn't forget the dramatic hairstyles!
From the pulled back ponytails and duck-tails to pompadours that were "swept upwards from the face and worn high over the forehead (or up-swept around the sides and back), styles of hairdos were mainly made popular by silver screen actresses of the 1940s and 1950s.

How would I go about checking mysql date/time formated field for all records with tomorrows date.. ?
you do mean DATETIME, not DATE, right?
WHERE column >= CURRENT_DATE + INTERVAL 1 DAY
AND column < CURRENT_DATE + INTERVAL 2 DAY
fyi, we call them columns and rows, not fields and records
Yea definatly DATE/TIME.. It apears to work.. But I have a small issue as this will be run as a cron job, but ther server is on a different time zone.. So the records wont match to the date of the server.
so add or subtract the requisite number of hours...
Via the query or in the cron job?
you can do it in the query...
WHERE column >= CURRENT_DATE + INTERVAL 1 DAY - INTERVAL 3 HOUR
AND column < CURRENT_DATE + INTERVAL 2 DAY - INTERVAL 3 HOUR
Does the query only take the DATE part of the field into consideration? so it doesnt matter at what hour the query runs it will grab all records for the follwoing day no matter what the TIME part of the field is?
what happened when you tested it?
I thought it missed records from a certain hours.. But looks like it takes the date only into consideration..

JAMES CITY | Sleeping on the floor is nothing new for Joseph McGill Jr., Terry James and Prinny Anderson.
JAMES CITY | Sleeping on the floor is nothing new for Joseph McGill Jr., Terry James and Prinny Anderson.
The trio from the Slave Dwelling Project has slept in former slave quarters that had no floors or ones in poor condition. James recalls one in which the mold and mildew was so heavy, they had to leave the door open all night. Another time, he closed the door and found a snake skin, minus the snake, attached to the wood.
They spend the night in the preserved antebellum homes of slaves to make a point � these homes are as worthy of preservation as the mansions the slave-owners lived in.
On Sunday night, they planned to stay at the Crocket-Miller Slave Quarters in James City, a $200,000-plus renovation project of the James City Historical Society.
They were impressed with the condition of the two-room cabin and its overall site, which includes a monument and a cemetery with more than 500 graves, just outside Coastal Carolina Regional Airport.
McGill, a career historic preservation and guide worker, started the project four years ago. He has spent the night in 60 slave quarters in 13 states, including the traditional Southern ones known for slavery, as well as ones in Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
McGill�s work has included the National Trust for Historical Preservation in Charleston, S.C. He now works for the Magnolia Plantation in Charleston as a history consultant and tour guide.
He said from his work, he realized that the places usually preserved and on public tours were for the mansions, the �big house,� not the homes of the enslaved.
�We tend to overlook those places behind those architecturally significant houses,� he said. �There is nothing wrong with that. But, in the 1860 Census before the Civil War, there were 4.5 million enslaved people in this country. They lived somewhere.�
He noted that many of the historic slave-owner mansions would not have existed without the labor of the slaves, as well as the money the owners made from the crops the slaves tended.
He said he has learned some lessons over the past four years, including dealing with private land owners who have slave cabins on their property.
One woman in Missouri did not take well to his group�s suggestions about preservation and had a cabin on her land torn down.
He said his mission is to bring attention to the dwindling slave quarters, which, unlike the �big houses,� were not made with the best or most durable of materials.
�There has been demolition by neglect,� he said. �But, to tear down a structure to get rid of that part of our history (slavery), is inexcusable.�
James and McGill are both reenactors with the 54th Company I based out of Charleston. They wore uniforms and hats Sunday during an afternoon talk for about a dozen visitors at the James City Community Center. A tour of the slave quarters site followed.
James, a professional photographer by trade, takes the overnight sleep to another level for his own experience, spending the night in wrist shackles provided by a friend who has a slave history museum.
�I want to feel how they felt,� he said of his tribute to slaves who were in chains on voyages across the Atlantic Ocean from Africa. �Every site is a different experience.�
He comes from an ancestry of slaves, with his great-great-great grandfather buying land once he was a free man after the Civil War. It amounts to 246 acres and it is still in the family. It was the site of an 1870 settlement of free blacks, once numbering 300 residents.
Anderson is a descendant of Thomas and Martha Jefferson, slave owners.
She said when she was about 10 years old, her grandmother told her she was related to �about half of the white people in Virginia.�
�It dawned on me that I was also related to half of the black people,� she said.
She is also part of a group called �Coming to the Table,� from the Martin Luther King Jr. �I Have a Dream Speech.� The group promotes ending racism, understanding history, saving historic places and telling the �real stories� behind history.

Adventures in Ayurveda Part 2: The Fire Within
Cassidy learns how to create a health hair regimen in her first appointment with an Ayurvedic practitioner.
While excited to begin my pursuit of an Ayurvedic hair care regimen, I wasn't sure what to expect during my first appointment with Ayurveda practitioner, Elena Irueta. Considering that my knowledge of the practice fell somewhere between shampooing your hair with herbs and healing blindness with an oily mixture poured into the eyes, I was a tad nervous to head into her office. I was immediately put at ease when I arrived at Elena's sunny and tranquil San Francisco office and she greeted me with a warm hug and had me sink into a comfortable chair.
She began by explaining the fundamental principles of Ayurveda of which there are three basic tiers:
- Elements: The foundation of all matter in the world. In Ayurveda these are believed to be Ether, Air, Fire, Water and Earth.
- Characteristics: These are the "feelings" associated with the various elements: cold/hot, moist/dry, mobile/static, heavy/light, dense/flowing, soft/hard, dull/sharp, smooth/rough, gross/subtle, cloudy/clear. These characteristics feed the next group of Ayurvedic principles: the doshas.
- Doshas: All people have a balance of the three doshas within in them. The three doshas are Vata (ether & air; cold, dry, light), Pitta (fire & water; hot, dry, sharp ) and Kapha (water & earth; cold, heavy). When one of these doshas is out of balance, illness occurs. The goal of ayurveda is to restore balance between these doshas.
Here, Elena explains the Doshas and how they work within our bodies.

Your Happiness Project: Don't perform random acts of kindness.
I'm working on my Happiness Project, and you could have one, too! Everyone's project will look different, but it's the rare person who can't benefit. Join in -- no need to catch up, just jump in right now. Each Friday's post will help you think about your own happiness project.
One piece of advice that I often see, for building happiness, is to "practice random acts of kindness." I don't quite agree with this advice.
Now, it's true that studies show that if you commit a random act of kindness, YOU will feel good. What's considered a "random act of kindness"? Giving a flower to a stranger, paying the toll for the car behind you, or putting coins in someone's meter are typical examples.
Doing something thoughtful for someone else does make you feel good. Do good, feel good.
However, if the reason for your happiness is that you're thinking about how happy you're going to make someone else (which is, after all, one of the best ways to make yourself happy, that's the Second Splendid Truth, Part A), you might be misguided.
Another study shows that many people reacted to receiving a random act of kindness with –- suspicion! (See also Larsen and Prizmic's "Regulation of Emotional Well-Being" in The Science of Subjective Well-Being.) This certainly rings true for me. If someone randomly does something kind for me, I'm on guard. I don't think that shows a fundamental cynicism or a deep distrust of mankind; it just shows that I think that most people act purposefully, and if I don't understand the purpose, I question their motives. It's not the kindness of the act that's the problem; it's the randomness.
We don't expect people to act randomly. A person might feel suspicious when you hand him a flower, for example, because he might think you're trying to invoke the very strong psychological phenomenon of "reciprocation": when someone gives you something or does something for you, you feel you must reciprocate. That's why members of the Hare Krishna Society gave flowers to passers-by in airports. That's why charities send those complimentary address labels when they ask you for money. (For a fascinating discussion of reciprocation, read the brilliant book by Robert Cialdini, Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion .)
Also, the problem with randomness is that your act might not be well-placed. You might be paying the toll for a millionaire, or filling the expired meter for someone who is standing beside you on the sidewalk, digging for her keys.
It's nice to be nice, of course. It's not BAD to practice random acts of kindness. But if you want to build your happiness based on the happiness you bring to other people – the noblest ways of boosting happiness – I think it's more productive to be targeted. Hold the door open for a person pushing a stroller. Give your seat at Starbucks to an elderly person. Help a co-worker even when you're rushing to meet a deadline yourself.
After all, seeing that a stranger, friend, or colleague is acting out of concern for you is cheering; wondering why someone inexplicably did something for you, however nice, is a bit unnerving.
Maybe some people are attracted to acting randomly because it allows them to be more secretive about their good deeds; some people believe that the fact that you get "credit" for a worthy act somehow minimizes its worth, and along the same lines, some people argue that you can never act with true altruism, because performing good acts bring the pleasure of happiness. My view: all the better!
The fact is, the sight of someone performing a generous or kind act always makes me feel happy. Especially if it's me! The spectacle of virtue inspires the feeling of elevation—one of the most delicate pleasures that the world offers. As Simone Weil observed, "Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating." That's true no matter who is performing that real good.
So perform acts of kindness. Randomly, but even better, not randomly.
How about you? What has been your experience with random acts of kindness -- whether on the receiving or the giving end?
I always find thought-provoking material on Jonathan Fields's blog Awake at the Wheel.
Interested in starting your own Happiness Project? If you'd like to take a look at my personal Resolutions Chart, for inspiration, just email me at grubin, then the "at" sign, then gretchenrubin dot com. No need to write anything more than "Resolutions Chart" in the subject line.

There is one scene where the woman grabs a rifle, like a pro I might add, and runs off into the rocks. She throws that rifle up like she's done it her whole life and sure looks like she knows what shes doing. Proper form, works the bolt from her shoulder, and shes actually aiming! Damn! Talk about sexy! Hey, even Burt knows what to do with a rifle. I guess these were the days when people knew how to shoot! Even actors.

In any feud (rapper, athlete, celebutantelite) it's sometimes hard to tell the truth from the Tupac claiming to have sex with Faith Evans. That said, and this comes from an avowed Yankee hater, Vicente Padilla seems like a gigantic douchebag.
The Red Sox reliever has had a long-standing (seven year!) beef with his former teammate Mark Teixeira. When the two played together in Texas, the Yankee first baseman felt that he and (his friend and former teammate) Michael Young were paying the price for Padilla's penchant for throwing at opposing batters. The final straw came when Young was hit by a pitch in retaliation for a Padilla hit batter. How did Padilla respond? By laughing his ass off in the dugout. Tex and Young weren't happy and they let Padilla know.
So of course In Teixeira's first ten at bats against his former teammate he was hit three times.
It makes sense then when Tex hit a go-ahead three run triple off of the
assholeRed Sox pitcher he was pretty pumped. And yeah, he talked some shit about Padilla, telling reporters that he has no friends in baseball because he hits people. Of course he could have been meaner. He could have said, "No one likes that guy, because he's a fucking toad. Seriously, have you seen him? He looks like he'd be the henchman to some Dickens villain. If Timothy Spall were Hispanic, we'd know who would play Vicente in a movie." But Tex didn't say that. But he could have.
Padilla's response to Teixeira's non-inflammatory, fact-based comments?
Vicente went onto say that Teixeira hates hispanics, before deciding he hadn't made himself clear enough about Teixeira's gender, "We are all men here playing baseball. We don't need no women playing baseball."
Let's list the reasons to hate this guy.
1. He is a sexist asshole.
2. He is making me have to side with a Yankee.
3. He is a head-hunter.
4. And maybe most importantly, his asshole quote means this…
Disliking A League Of Their Own is completely unacceptable.

Hi everyone,
I was just curious, does anyone know what year the songs will be from tonight?
Hi everyone,
I was just curious, does anyone know what year the songs will be from tonight?
I was wondering the same thing. I have looked back through here and I don't see a reference. I checked the AJ site as well since it was posted there before the last competition. I haven't found any site with a listing so I guess tonight will be a surprise. I just hope it is not 1972!Originally Posted by kitten
Personally, since Jordan Knight and Deborah Gibson will be judges tonight, I think it would be fun (funny) to have the kids do songs from the late 80's/early 90's when NKOTB and DEBBIE Gibson were popular. Most of you probably weren't even born yet when they were the hot acts on tour but I can see Lucy doing DEBBIE's "Only In My Dreams" and Jordan taking on "Electric Youth". Despite the fact Chauncey isn't one of my favorites, I will admit he would probably do a better than decent job with "I'll Be Loving You Forever" or "Didn't I Blow Your Mind" from NKOTB.
That would be pretty cool get some "Hangin' Tough" up on the show tonight!
"Hangin' Tough" would be great! I have this vision of AJ, Morgan and Chauncey performing a group number... LOL!Originally Posted by kitten
it would be cool if they did songs from 1989. except most of the songs are, well..., not appropriate. examples:
Love in an Elevator - Aerosmith
Love Shack - B-52's
but then there are debbie's songs and NKOTB and janet + michael jackson, cher..........
I hope they don't do like 1971 or something. I kind of remember Jordan Knight. The name sounds familiar...wow I must have been really young when I listened to his music.Originally Posted by kitten
And the group song will be "Monster Mash" LOL
j/k, but the year is 1962
Last edited by zippy; 07-22-2003 at 12:49 PM.
the year is 1962?????? Are you sure?? How do you know???
Wow they are at least getting away from 1970. They are probably doing oldies so that the kids don't know the songs at all or not very much so that they have to learn the song and make it "their own" so that if they make the group it will show that they can learn songs quickly rather than just going by what they heard of it originally performed. Like say if they did perform songs like Britney Spears and stuff, they would naturally try and sing it like her.

JIM LEHRER: Today marks the official release of "Decision Points," former President George W. Bush's memoir about his major decisions as president and in his personal life.
Since leaving the White House nearly two years ago, Mr. Bush has largely kept out of the public eye.But, with the release of his memoir, the former president has reemerged on the national stage just as Republicans stage a resurgence in the Congress.
The media blitz to promote the book kicked off last night in an interview with Matt Lauer of NBC News.The interview, like the book, focused on key decisions Mr. Bush made as president and in his personal life, among them, a defining moment of his presidency, his remarks at Ground Zero in New York City in the days just after the September 11 attack.
GEORGE W. BUSH, Former President of the United States:But, I mean, it was like you're walking into hell.And I got down to the bottom of the area there, and there was a palpable sense of revenge and anger.And — and, you know, I'm — I am trying to be the comforter.And these guys are looking at me like, are you going to go get these guys or not?
MATT LAUER, co-host, "The Today Show:" They're calling you George.
GEORGE W. BUSH: That's right. It was just fine. I mean it…
MATT LAUER: Yes.Not Mr. President. George.
GEORGE W. BUSH: It was George."Kill them, George," you know?
And I believe in justice, not revenge. And I was — overwhelmed by the — you know, the palpable anger and emotion.
MAN: We can't hear you.
GEORGE W. BUSH: I can hear you.
GEORGE W. BUSH: I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people…
GEORGE W. BUSH: And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon.
JIM LEHRER: In the pursuit of al-Qaida, Mr. Bush authorized water-boarding captured suspects like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of 9/11.He told Lauer that it saved lives.
GEORGE W. BUSH: They say, he's got information.I said, find out what he knows.And so I said to our team, are the techniques legal?And a legal team says, yes, they are.And I said use them.
JIM LEHRER: The former president also stood by his decision to invade Iraq, even though the U.S. failed to find weapons of mass destruction.It had been the main rationale he cited for going to war.
MATT LAUER: Your words: "No one was more sickened or angry than I was when we didn't find weapons of mass destruction."
You still have a sickening feeling —
GEORGE W. BUSH: I do.
MATT LAUER: … when you think about it.
GEORGE W. BUSH: I do.
MATT LAUER: Was there ever any consideration of apologizing to the American people?
GEORGE W. BUSH: I mean, apologizing would basically say the decision was a wrong decision.And I don't believe it was the wrong decision.
JIM LEHRER: But he did admit fault for this announcement aboard the aircraft carrier U.S. Abraham Lincoln in May of 2003.
GEORGE W. BUSH: Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. And I also went on to say, there's more difficult work ahead. The problem is…
MATT LAUER: But you stood under that banner, and it sent a very strong message.
GEORGE W. BUSH: No question.
MATT LAUER: Mission accomplished.
GEORGE W. BUSH: No question it was a mistake. And I say so…
MATT LAUER: And it's one of those times where you used — your words were used against you over and over again.
GEORGE W. BUSH: No, and that happens when you're president. It's…
JIM LEHRER: Mr. Bush also acknowledged the storm of criticism he faced after Hurricane Katrina. It included his decision to fly over New Orleans in Air Force One, without landing.
GEORGE W. BUSH: Huge mistake.
MATT LAUER: And it made you look so out of touch.
GEORGE W. BUSH: Detached and uncaring, no question about it. And…
MATT LAUER: Whose fault was it?
GEORGE W. BUSH: It's always my fault.
JIM LEHRER: The memoir also includes the disclosure that Mr. Bush briefly considered replacing Vice President Cheney before his reelection bid in 2004.
The book publicity campaign is now in full swing, including a taped appearance on "Oprah" this afternoon, and a series of print, radio and television interviews in the coming days.
And to Julian Zelizer, editor of the book "The Presidency of George W. Bush: A First Historical Assessment" and a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University, and a "NewsHour" regular presidential historian, Michael Beschloss.
Julian Zelizer, to begin, are there some — some important things about George W. Bush that were not known until this book was published?
JULIAN ZELIZER, Editor, "The Presidency of George W. Bush: A First Historical Assessment:" Well, we learned a little.
We hear about some of the regrets that he had about his presidency, how he handled the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, some discussion of the WMDs that were not found in Iraq, and some acknowledgment by the president that this was, you know, unfortunate and saddened him.
But, in general, this is the same President Bush who we heard when he left office.He defends much of his record, and he's pretty resolute about the decisions that he made.
JIM LEHRER: What about the — the consideration that he gave to dropping Dick Cheney from the ticket in 2004?
JULIAN ZELIZER: Yes.Of all the facts, this is one we didn't know about, that there was some discussion and consideration of replacing Vice President Cheney with Senator Bill Frist to be the vice presidential candidate.
Part of the reason he wanted to do it was to demonstrate to the public that he was, in fact, in charge of the White House and that Vice President Cheney didn't run the show behind the scenes.So, this is a revelation.Again, it's not uncommon for people to talk about changes in the tickets behind the scenes, but it still is some news.
JIM LEHRER: But there were — there were a lot of thingsquotebelieved about George W. Bush, that he wasn't as sharp as — as presidents ought to be, that — that he really wasn't in charge at the White House.
Based on your own research, and now overlaying what George W. Bush himself has said, where do those — how do those myths stand up?
JULIAN ZELIZER: Yes, I don't agree with that.I think, the more we learn from journalists and from historians about what went on in the White House, and from what we're learning about people who left the administration, most don't agree with that assessment.
Whether you disagree or agree with his policies, this is someone who is intelligent and who was capable and who could be politically skillful at various times.I imagine there will be a bit of a revision, like you had with Ronald Reagan, who originally was thought to be not very intelligent, more an actor than a policy-maker.But the more we learned, we learned there was someone pretty cunning in the White House.
JIM LEHRER: As a George W. Bush expert, what is your reading of what his motivation was for writing this book and the way he wrote it?
JULIAN ZELIZER: Well, I do think, like many presidents, he wants to get a first cut of the history.He knows that historians are coming.
He knows that the historians are going to start investigating what went on.I think this is his effort to offer a defense and an explanation of what he did during his administration.And even on controversial issues like Iraq, where he acknowledges his regrets, he still stands by the decision.So, this is his kind of last argument before the historians start the debate.
JIM LEHRER: Speaking of the historians, Michael, how does the Bush book fit into the normal mold of presidential memoirs?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS, presidential historian:Well, I should begin by saying I haven't read it yet.
But, usually, they're pretty awful. So, he has a pretty low bar to jump over — case in point, Lyndon Johnson. Johnson in private was fascinating, candid. And he begins his book, for instance, by saying, "My last meeting with John Kennedy was in the Rice Hotel the night before John Kennedy was assassinated."
JIM LEHRER: It's in Houston, yes.
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: And I saw an early version. And he says: "I was talking to Kennedy. And I kept on noticing that Kennedy was wearing his boxer shorts and his shirt. And I noticed that that was true. And that was so different from in Texas, because, in Texas, you're supposed to put on your trousers first to cover up the boxer shorts," not momentous…
JIM LEHRER: No.
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: … but it sounds like Johnson, sounds like a human being. That book did not.
Very defensive, almost robotically, it suggested that Kennedy would have done everything that Johnson did in Vietnam, and it suggested almost everything he did in Vietnam was perfect.Didn't help him.
Other end of the scale was, Ulysses Grant, one of the…
JIM LEHRER: That's considered one of the best, right?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Yes, one of the worst presidents, but a great writer of memoirs, finished four days before he died.
And it's good because — and it's about his war years.It's not about his presidency.He wrote it himself, sounds like him.He talks about a great record as general during the Civil War.And, also, people began to say, there's something to Grant that is a lot more intelligent.There's an inner life there that we didn't know about.
JIM LEHRER: The other president who gets good credit, or high credit, high grades for his memoir is Harry Truman.Do you buy that?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: I don't.
JIM LEHRER: You don't.
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: I know that some people think that.
That was written by committee. And I guess the reason I don't like it that much is because, if Truman actually wrote a book, you know the way that Truman talked and told these stories and fascinating insights about all the people like Stalin, others he dealt with — this book was written almost by committee, not quite as bad as Johnson's.
But it shows the same problem, which is that presidents are very tempted when they're writing these things to write essentially a defensive brief for their place in history.
And maybe it helps.I don't think it very often does.But it certainly doesn't make a very good book.
JIM LEHRER: Is — the Bush — you heard what Professor Zelizer said…
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: I did.
JIM LEHRER: … what his reading is as to why he wrote the book.Those are the same reasons for any president to do it, right?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: They all do. You're almost shocked if a president doesn't do this.
But the interesting thing is, he took after his father.His father, when he was no longer president, didn't write a presidential memoir.He wrote a book about foreign policy at the end of the Cold War that he was involved in.
And, so, George W. Bush, rather than writing about every single thing he did over eight years, he chose the terrain.This is "Decision Points."And, in a way, that plays to a president's favor, because he can talk about the things he wants to.
JIM LEHRER: You know, Professor Zelizer, Matt Lauer, in that interview with NBC, President Bush said, whether or not he was going to be seen as successful by historians, he will be dead by the time that judgment comes.
Is that — is that the way these things should be seen, that the first take from the president, and whether it's President Bush or any other president, is just the beginning of this long process that it's going to take before the final version or the final history is written and verdict is given?
JULIAN ZELIZER: Well, I would disagree only in that there really never is a final verdict.
First of all, the historians have already started to write about him.And what will happen is, there will be multiple interpretations.There will be cycles of when people are negative or — about his policies, when they see more accomplishments than we noticed at the time.
You know, a president like Ronald Reagan has gone through many ups and downs in terms of how we view his character, his skills, and the record and legacy of his policies.So — so, it's an unending debate that is about to start.And I don't think there will be any point in time where anyone issues a verdict.And I think that's a healthy way to treat a presidency.
JIM LEHRER: And that's true of all presidents, right, Michael?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: It sure is.I agree with Julian about Reagan.And Reagan is a perfect example of an absolutely dreadful book.It was so bad that the publisher actually considered rejecting the manuscript and asking for their money back.
Reagan essentially presided over a process that had this book written almost out of things that he had said before.And there was actually a huge debate during the writing of the book whether he would be required to mention the actual name of his first wife, Jane Wyman.And, finally, they made a compromise.I think she was mentioned at least once.
JIM LEHRER: Yes.Yes.Is there — is there another example of a really bad, really bad presidential memoir?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: How long have we got, Jim?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Dwight Eisenhower, who once again almost wrote as good a book as Ulysses Grant about his war years, wrote it himself, wrote it in six weeks, "Crusade in Europe," huge bestseller.You hear Eisenhower's voice through the whole thing.
His presidential memoirs were done, once again, by committee.They were just essentially defending almost everything he ever did.
John Kennedy, when he was president, read the memoirs. And he said: "Well, Ike doesn't seem to have ever done anything wrong during his whole presidency. When I write my memoirs, I'm going to do it very differently."
JIM LEHRER: Yes.
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Of course, he didn't get to.
JIM LEHRER: Certainly.Certainly. OK, Michael, Professor Zelizer, thank you both very much.
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Thanks.
JULIAN ZELIZER: Thank you.

Have you
ever driven down a road and seen a flower or cross along side the road, did you ever wonder why or what happened, did you ever wonder why they kept there for so long?
I have and I found the answer to one of the questions. Our son Scott was killed in a tragic accident on Oct. 12, 2013. The community of Hudson came together to show why we all live here. I was so proud to have raised all our sons in Hudson. Down to the red and white cross, a beautiful grape vine cross and a small American flag; which Scott was proud to always have on his truck.
These small gestures where still there long after he was buried, it helped my family drive that road again. The flag would disappear, would be replaced, then one day it was all gone. I asked around, with no answer, do not know who else to ask, I am reaching out to our community once again.
If it is "not" OK to have these reminders left in the area where he left this earth, then please return them to my family. Drop them off at the fire department. Those small items have helped my family get through these last months. Please return them. If there is an issue please contact me personally. I just want them back.
Because when you see those gestures on the side of the road it helps that family or friends keep that person alive in their heart.
Ginger Graber, Hudson

No symbolism?? That cost you a point :/ sorry.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
why the heck is this m for mature though..... its not like it has a vagina or breasts... (those things are natural guys this post cannot be taken offensively)
is there symbolism here? like angels and humans? or am i reading too deeply into this?
it's just a tatted up demon and a little guy from heaven hanging out in nature. no symbolism, just random stuff to give the demon character more depth/personality. i rated it mature because of the dead babies. when i think "teen" i don't think dead babies lol

La Jolla lifeguard tower rife with cost overruns
Baby bird, seal-pupping, and bad waste pump blamed for budget surprises
Matt Potter 4 p.m., Sept. 21
(Page 3 of 14)
I asked Sing Yu to tell me about the significant relationships he'd had with women in his life — what was good about them and what was bad, as well as how they turned out. "Let's see," he said. "I was always the geeky type; I never dated until graduate school. Then I fell madly in love with this fellow graduate student from China, and of course she was married. She came here to study, and she left her husband behind. We had an extremely stormy relationship off and on — it was always a fragile affair, and you never quite knew whether we were breaking up or not. Anyway, it lasted two or three years. Finally, it ended. It's not clear to me to this day who broke it off, but I think it was kind of mutual. It became so painful it was not worth going through the cycle. Then shortly after that I met my ex-wife. We got married."
"Just like that?" I asked.
"Well, I met my ex-wife in Maryland. I was doing post-doc work. She's a very interesting person, and I was very attracted to her. She is American, of English and Irish descent. Very intelligent and very intellectual but also loads of fun and, I think, very attractive. But then she is also very independent and very self-centered."
"How do you mean that?"
"We were married for five years, but the marriage started deteriorating after the first two or three. When we first married, she told me clearly she wanted to settle down and start a family, which is what I wanted as well. But then things changed. She started to want her own life, so to speak. Not wanting to take responsibility and that sort of thing. She just wanted to do art and music and sort of let the relationship go. I had no objection to her doing art and music, but she really wanted something more. I think she wanted a more Bohemian life."
"Were you surprised by this?"
"I was surprised by the abruptness of it. I knew she was drifting away. I knew she didn't want to work. I knew she wanted to be an artist. But what really happened was she went to Mexico — I can talk about it now without much emotion because it was ten years ago. But she went to Mexico with a friend of hers, and when she came back she told me she had met somebody in Mexico. She said she wanted to try a new life. So we got divorced, and she spent a year with that guy. She brought that guy into America, but it didn't work out."
Sing Yu's story got more complicated when I asked him if he was still in touch with his ex-wife.
"Well, what happened was that about a year and a half ago, she came back into my life and said she wanted to get back together. We had been divorced for eight years, and she said she wanted to get back together. She said fundamentally that the period we broke up was a very irrational time of her life, but our marriage was very fundamentally sound; it was just a certain period of insanity that ruined it, so she wanted me to consider getting back together. I thought about it long and hard. I really missed her. When you love somebody, it's hard to resist the idea of getting back together. But the way she left me was very tough; it was just like, 'Okay, honey, I'll see you next week!' So I don't know if I could ever trust her again."
I wondered if his experience with his ex-wife impacted his view of women in general.
"No question that it did. I think, looking back, a lot of my relationships are kind of random anyway, but I think fundamentally it's always bouncing from one end of the spectrum to the other end. Never quite finding myself fully happy. After my wife and I broke up and I came back to San Diego, I dated, though not very seriously. Then I met this Thai girl who also worked at the same company that I worked at, and we got pretty involved. That was fun for a year or so, and then we broke up. It was getting — what's the word? — she was possessive and needy, very needy. She was also very hyper. She couldn't stay put, things were slightly out of order, and she would drive me nuts. But sexually it was a good match, and also culturally, because she was from the Orient and I had links there. And she and I also were pretty Americanized. It gave us a lot in common. But that didn't work out. She was very needy.
"I was the one who broke that up. That one was hard for me. I broke it up. She wanted to continue, but she was extremely possessive. I had some friends that were female, but they were just friends that I like to spend time with, and she would be extremely jealous and didn't want me to have anything to do with that. So that was one of the reasons I felt like, if I were to stay in a relationship with her I would have no other significant friendship with a female. And at the same time, actually, what was also factoring into the thinking was, I still missed my wife, and comparing my wife to that woman. I thought, 'Well, my wife is this and this and that, so intelligent, so intellectual, so da-da-da-da-da.' So that, too, was part of the dynamic, I think. I had certain expectations that she did not meet."
This seems to be a problem for most men who enter into new relationships in midlife. They're always comparing them to previous relationships. Once men have had a serious relationship, every other one is measured by that. A lot of men's inner monologues are "She is like her in this way, but she is not like her in that way," and this often prevents men from seeing a potential partner clearly, in her own right. This was true for virtually all the men I spoke with, and it's my experience as well. I'm sure the same comparisons must be true for women. It's one of the primary limiting factors of the serially monogamous relationships of our time.
