Three Central Florida Cities Strive to be Healthier
Eatonville, Winter Park and Maitland launch morning walks in an effort to become healthy communities.
[Image: Residents and Rollins graduate students participate in Eatonville's morning walk.]
If it's true that no man is an island, then perhaps the key to good health is living in a community that promotes a healthy lifestyle. No town, city or neighborhood in Central Florida can claim to be the healthiest in the nation, but Eatonville, Maitland and Winter Park are all pursuing that banner. Their initiatives all started with a focus on walking. It's a simple lifestyle change that's getting results for people like Winter Park Library Assistant Sarah Williams.
"After seeing someone that was close to me have a stroke at the age of 46, it was an eye opener for me," said Williams. Williams is overweight, pre-diabetic, and struggles with high blood pressure. When she heard the cities of Eatonville, Winter Park and Maitland were hosting morning walks last November, she decided to join in and walk with all three cities. In less than six months, she's lowered her blood pressure enough to go off one of her medications and she's lowered her pre-diabetes or blood glucose levels by two points. She's also lost weight.
"I didn't lose a lot of weight, but I went down two dress sizes," said Williams.
The community walks were launched in 2011 by Eatonville Mayor Bruce Mount. He said he was moved to start his Walk and Talk with the Mayor program because he was signing so many funeral resolutions for his small town. Eatonville has the highest rates of diabetes, obesity and hypertension of the three cities. In fact, 24-percent of Eatonville residents have diabetes, compared to nine percent in Winter Park and Maitland. The diabetes rate alone puts Eatonville's population at an increased risk for a host of health problems, including heart disease and stroke. But Eatonville's walkers are seeing improvements in their health. The Mayor himself has lost 40 pounds.
"I never thought walking could have that kind of result, just casually walking, walking at your own pace, and when I've seen it drop, along with healthy eating, because we do talk about healthy eating and portion control, yes, I've seen a tremendous difference," said Mount.
The mayor's walking program has proven so successful, it became the pilot for Winter Park, Maitland and the Healthy Central Florida initiative that all three cities are now part of. But the quest to create a healthy community will involve more than morning walks, so a recent Rollins College graduate student project focused on how Eatonville could develop a healthier environment for its residents. But in order to address the city's needs, the students needed to get a feel for the community.
"The best way to do that is to do it on foot, and almost field check what we've been doing with all of our studies and analysis," said Rollins College adjunct professor Bob Hahn, who accompanied the students during one of the Walk and Talks with the Mayor.
The students' recommendations included improving sidewalks, brighter, more appealing street lights, establishing community gardens and organizing events aimed at creating a stronger sense of place. The city of Maitland is working to expand its walking program by extending its footpaths to create a full loop around the community. And Winter Park's walks are seeing heavy participation from commissioners and other city officials. That kind of participation matters because there's more to a healthy community that just physical health. Feeling connected to the community is important too, and as Williams found out, the morning walks can be a big part of that.
"You get to know people, and just meeting different people and if you have a city commissioner walking with you, you get to learn a lot of different things about the city,"
Williams said.
The cities' walks are on different days, which makes it easy for devotees like Sarah to hit all three. They're early- 6:30 a.m. in Maitland, 7 a.m. in Winter Park and Eatonville. But the walkers say it's a great way to start the day and an obvious step toward a healthier community.

Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
As usual, Leatherology did not disappoint me. I ordered this pouch to hold my calculator and other office supplies that I carry with me. It's just the right size and looks very professional.
This is just what I needed to hold my calculator, pen, and other supplies. At first I thought it would be too big, but it's just the right size. The leather is buttery soft.
I can now get rid of the vinyl supply pouch I had. It was too childlike. Grownups need leather!
The ordering, shipping, and receiving...was fast,efficient, wonderfully packaged, and a great product. GREAT JOB LEATHEROLOGY!
I purchased this for my pencils and pens inside the tote, along with a padfolio, horizontal tote,and the dayplanner for a complete professional image. I am a designer and i wanted to update my look so i did and couldn't be happier. I also purchased a dayplanner for my assistant. Great stuff they have here and you won't be disappointed at all. thx for a great product
As a frequent Leatherology customer, I saw their pouches in small, medium and large size. I chose the medium pouch to hold personal items. When I open my purse or bag, my personal items are not visible to anyone else, and I know right where things are. Now there is no rummaging around to find what I need. This is a great quality item and I am very satisfied with my purchase.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

Apple's Claim to the Letter "i" - Rejected
Apple's claim to the letter "i" has come to a screeching halt as a trademarks tribunal has rejected the company's bid to stop a small company from using their favorite letter of the alphabet.
This particular company wanted to name it's cases for Apple products DOPi, which is iPod spelled backwards. Apple's argument was that the DOPi name resembled their own products too closely and that it had potential to confuse consumers that they were purchasing a Apple product.
Now if you stop and think about it there are currently other products on the market that use the letter "i" that Apple has not gone after - iSkin or iSoft anyone? So that must mean Apple is protecting the name iPod simply spelled backwards but intellectual property lawyer Trevor Choy has a explanation for that.
"A competitor can sometimes get away with registering the reverse spelling of a registered trade mark - iPOD and DOPi. Here, they said that DOPi stands for 'Digital Options and Personalised Items',"
We will let our readers decide this case. Should Apple have a case or is this another case of the company simply trying to throw it's weight around? Sound off in the comments below!
[Thanks for the tip robert! Via smh.com.au]
There are 33 comments. Add yours.
I would consider myself a tech geek and I generally know what products are good and are able to tell when something is junk... and it does get a little confusing with everything being named i"junk" . To my knowledge they were the first to use the "i" in their product names. the only thing is that everything is named "i" something nowadays. you could probably go to the grocery store and find idrink and ifood if you looked hard enough... it would be nice to be able to distinguish apple products using the "i" but i doubt its going to work out
Apple doesn't get to protect everything "i" but Lindsay Lohan can keep companies from using "Lindsay"? I say we piss them both off and trademark the iLindsay.
Give me a break, enough is enough. Go Away Apple!
Apple gets on my nerves every time they do something like this. Especially after darn near strongarming companies to get certain naming rights for their products...the same products at issue here.
They could probably just drop the "i" eventually anyway. Since the "internet" is no longer anything new, is it even necessary to label these devices in such ways anymore?
Haha I luv this screw apple trying to own the rights to everything. Finally the little guy scores a point. I will be changing my name to iErick hope apple doesn't come after me.
It's an "iWorld" out there. Pretty soon someones going to trademark at the letters of the alphabet!!
Lol, I wouldn't of even noticed it was iPod backwards if it wasn't stated. Apple needto take a chillpill
We seriously need some kind of patent/trademark reform here in the U.S. Tort reform wouldn't hurt either.
Trademarks represent big money, and Apple has to protect them so not just anybody can abuse them. Yes, even the letter ' '.
Anybody who says otherw se s obv ously hates nvention, nnovat on, and ngenu ty. Apple s perfectly w th n the r r ghts, you smelly, d rty h pp es!
, for one, th nk we should treat the r ntellectual property cla ms w th all the ser ousness and cons derat on they deserve!
Apple should invent a new letter. Then trademark it. That will solve everything.
We will let our readers decide this case.
Too late.
Decision already rendered.
Bitchhh already slapped.
Maybe Apple should change their name, like Prince changed his name to a symbol just to yank Sony's chain. Then they could be referred to the company formerly known as Apple. DOPI says it pretty much for this lawsuit.
They need to focus on moving forward instead of what they already have done isn't that what they intended the company to do from the get go?!? When they invented the very first mac.
Remember Cisco's suit against Apple over the word "iPhone"?
All it takes is a well informed consumer to realize the product is not Apple. Does Apple not believe the consumers who spend thousands on their products are not intelligent to know it's actually not their product? Hhhmm?
I swear this industry has turn into cliche high school drama, with apple as the goodie goodie girl tunred queen B
"Like OMG Apple theres a hoe wearing the same outfit as you"
"OMG really, where is she i need to kick her a**"
"OMG apple, that slut HTC is totally sleeping with your ex-boyfriend Google"
"OMG Really? but i thought google was with Motorola, I mean she totally dumped Microsoft for him, and i thought HTC was still with Microsoft"
"She is, but apparently Microsoft stopped working out and got really fat, i mean thats why Motorola and palm dumped him"
"So google is sleeping with both HTC AND Motorola? what a man whore!"
"I know right!"
"OMG i have some really old embarrassing videos of HTC that would totally ruin her, and i also recently made some vague videos that have nothing to do with her that we can use against her!"
"OMG do it!, but what about that b***h palm? she is totally sleeping with you other ex"
"I dont care about her, i heard shes like totally anorexic now, she should like drop dead at any moment"
"Your so evil"
"I know :D"
iHate Apple Sometimes
So Apple is just like Any other gazillion-dollar company - big surprise! Just 'cause they make Nice products doesnt make Them nice people.
Apple is out of pocket trying to trademark a letter
Remember how apple tried to sue woolworths over the apple-w logo? Apple is wasting their time sueing companies for no useful reason!
haha, nice try, i'm sure it would save them a shed load of time trying to get names in future.
Nintendo DSi?
Hoho, yes.
Hi! I'm a university student, and we've created a survey for a project we have. It's about navigation systems for iPhone. If YOU HAVE an iPhone OR WANT TO BUY ONE, it would be a great help for us if you could answer these few questions.
Thank you!! : ) http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SHKQYTR
Well, here in the US if you don't defend your patents you lose them. So really, Apple HAS to take action whenever anything could "arguably" infringe on one of its patents unless it wants to lose it.
my name is iBlackdude....zz
No, it's a letter in the alphabet.
I say Apple should rename all their products to how Motorola does.
I own a MCBUK, IFON, and an APLTV.
I'm really starting to get sick of Apple... I've had an iPhone for about a year and a half now.. I think I will be getting the Bold 9700 when I can upgrade. I had a crackberry before and it's more beneficial for me. Love the touchscreen.. but I'm bored of it and don't use the apps enough. and as for DOPi.. A. I love the name. B. Apple needs to stop being a dumb iBitch.
Does Apple not believe the consumers who spend thousands on their products are not intelligent to know it's actually not their product?
I say Apple should rename all their products to how Motorola does.
Is it possible to sue Apple for using the word Apple?! and i stand for 'me'....i.e. i me myself.

HTC @ Uplinq
Uplinq 2011 has come and gone and left us with much to talk and think about. As a presenting sponsor, our team at HTC had a great opportunity to connect with the mobile developer community. We were able to see how developers are using the power of innovation to change people's lives, and we shared some technology and tools from HTC that will enable developers to create that change.
The Cost of Electronic On-board Recorders
A few blog posts ago, I covered the differences between ELDs, EOBRs, and AOBRDs. Having brought some clarity to this array of technology and acronyms, an unanswered question was: "What do these things cost?"

Dear Investor,
Thanks for your interest in Motley Fool Champion Funds. Unfortunately, we're no longer enrolling members at this time.
But don't worry! Retirement expert Robert Brokamp has put together a set of model portfolios to help individual investors like you enjoy the retirement you deserve.
On top of that, each day Robert provides thousands of investors with tips, tricks, and secrets that can help you rule your retirement. Including loads of information on how to make the most of your money with top mutual funds.
Right now, you can put his years of hard work and experience to work for you by joining his community at Motley Fool Rule Your Retirement.
Read on to get all the details -- and discover how you can get a FREE 30-day guest pass to Rule Your Retirement.
Here's to secure the retirement you deserve,
Tanya Carlson
Publisher, Motley Fool Rule Your Retirement
Chances are, even if you had a million-dollar retirement portfolio back in 2008, you're starting to think you'll have to work for another decade just to retire with half that much now.
And if you had only saved a fraction of that, you're probably thinking you'll never stop working.
But you don't have to let the fiasco on Wall Street ruin your dreams for retirement or whisk away your fortune.
And if you read this report you won't have to scrimp and save your way through retirement either, cutting corners or taking odd jobs just to get by. No matter what's happened to your portfolio in the last few months, you can still retire with plenty of cash. Just read on...
By taking just a few minutes right now, you'll see how to pick strong-as-steel retirement investments that will hold up even better than the overall market (yes, even when the Dow drops 700 points in one day!) -- and then discover how to turn the tables on the Wall Street fat cats and start profiting from the panic -- right now.
First up, let's start with the best way to survive -- or better yet, thrive in a grizzly bear market like the one we've got right now: Sit tight.
That's right. Hibernate like all good bears and ignore the financial "awfulizing" on CNBC, Bloomberg and the rest. And, if you find you can't turn your head from the financial news, then at least make sure you don't sell the stocks you own.
How? Let's look at some history. Go back 58 years and you'll see that even the worst bear markets didn't see drops of 50%. So while we can't give you a guarantee that we've hit bottom, we can tell you based on history, given where the market is right now we're probably close to the bottom.
So if you start selling in a panic today -- chances are you're selling after you've already lost the greatest amount of money. And, unless you've got a really good crystal ball, you'll end up fighting your way back into the market the day after it posts the biggest gains.
Let's face it. With the market dropping hundreds of points daily right now you not only need ways to protect your money -- but a big way to bounce back! Rule Your Retirement has what your portfolio could use. Around here we call it:
The Magical Returns Accelerator. And this amazing secret shows you exactly how smart investors quadrupled their money -- even in the Great Depression!
Let's be real. The Great Depression left millions of families poverty-stricken. It was perhaps the darkest time in America's history.
But what many of today's panicked investors don't realize is that there were lots of people who not only made money during this time -- but made MORE MONEY because of the steep decline. Here's what happened.
On September 3, 1929, the Dow Jones Industrial Average peaked at 381.17 -- and it didn't rise above this level for another 25 years -- on Nov. 24, 1954. That's a quarter century of zero price appreciation.
So how could anyone make money? By reinvesting their dividends. Smart investors who did this actually turned $1,000 into $4,400 (based on their 6% annualized rate of return) -- more than quadrupling their money!
That's right -- the steep decline actually fueled their investments, because their reinvested dividends were able to buy more stocks for less. As Jeremy Siegel wrote in The Future for Investors: "During the Depression, long-term investors gained at the expense of all those who were forced to sell their stock, either because they had purchased their stocks with borrowed money or, more commonly, because they dumped their shares in a panic."
If you can hold stocks for the long term, you can take advantage of reinvested dividends, aka Jeremy Siegel's returns accelerator! Want more portfolio-padding ideas like this one? Start your 30-day risk-free trial to Motley Fool Rule Your Retirement today.
Now you know how the smartest investors not only survived the Great Depression -- but actually thrived because of it. And that's just one of the secrets from the Rule Your Retirement vaults. Start your totally risk-free membership to Rule Your Retirement today and you'll uncover loads of money-making advice, including how walking away from the number one American investment can actually increase your returns and lower your risk.
Here's how they did it -- and you can too. Even if you're years away from retirement you've probably heard the old adage, "Allocation is key." Where you put your money -- large caps, small caps, bonds, etc. is the real indicator of just how much cash you'll have for retirement.
And you've probably heard that diversification is a great way to protect your portfolio from market downturns like those we've witnessed in the last few months. But did you know just how much money a well-diversified portfolio can make you?
Let's check on my friends Jack, Bill, and Jill. Jack took $1,000 and invested it in U.S. Stocks. Bill took $1,000 and spread it out a little more by putting half into U.S. stocks and half into international stocks. Jill lowered her investment risk (based on a lower standard deviation) by splitting her $1,000 investment across 4 asset classes (U.S. stocks, international stocks, REITs, and commodities).
So who came out ahead? Run their portfolios from 1972 to 2007 -- and you'll see that Jack ends up with $45,500, Bill has about 10% more than Jack with $50,015, but Jill ends up with $87,310 -- nearly twice as much as Jack!
Want to add $87,310 to your portfolio? Then start your completely risk-free trial of Motley Fool Rule Your Retirement today and check out the Perfect Your Portfolio section of our December 2007 issue.
And that's not all you'll find. Just by activating your completely risk-free trial to Rule Your Retirement you'll have access to every newsletter and special report we've ever published. Turn to any page, any issue and discover things like:
Just look at all you're learning, and I haven't even told you yet how you can actually add over $263,000 to your portfolio without contributing another dime.
But before I get to that, I want to make sure you get yourself set up right now to make a bundle of money when the market recovers.
Because if you don't already know this one, chances are you'll overlook it simply because it relies on the fact that you know to buy the asset class with the very worst returns.
This little gem comes from an interview (yes, you'll find exclusive advice from experts in every issue of Rule Your Retirement under Expert Corner) with William Bernstein, an asset manager, neurologist, pilot, and author.
When I asked him what the best place for your money is right now -- with all the major indexes down 20% or so, he told me to "buy the asset class that has had the very worst recent returns."
Just in case you're thinking that must be some crazy typo -- why would you ever want to get in on a "losing deal"? -- let me explain. If you chase after the investment vehicles that have just enjoyed a great run, you'll be buying when they're most expensive, and chances are -- on their way down.
Right now if you want to put yourself in a position to profit from the market's downturn -- buy equities. On page 4 of the October issue we'll show you the types of stocks that will help you outperform the market.
Where does all this unconventional retirement wisdom that fills the pages of every issue of Rule Your Retirement come from? Straight from the experts at The Motley Fool, which Barron's calls the #1 source for financial education on the Web" and The Economist refers to as "an ethical oasis in an area that is fast becoming a home to charlatans."
And of course, from one of the smartest retirement advisors around -- Robert Brokamp, your fearless advisor of Rule Your Retirement.
Before joining the Motley Fool staff, Robert (Bro, as we call him around the office) was a financial advisor at Prudential Securities. For years he spent his days researching the latest money-building retirement strategies, money-saving tax loopholes and more to help ensure his clients enjoyed their golden years.
Though he worked with some excellent people, he wasn't satisfied because as a financial advisor working for a specific company, he was limited to selling what the company offered.
So ten years ago he left Prudential and became a first class "Fool", which led to him founding The Motley Fool's Rule Your Retirement where he combines his love of teaching (he actually has a teaching degree and taught English for several years) and his vast inside knowledge of retirement planning, to bring you the most up-to-date, investment strategies around.
Bro is a true retirement expert. Not only has he written breakthrough articles on fool.com and for renowned publications like Better Investing and Newsweek, but he's also authored (or co-authored) 4 top-selling books, and he recently gave a speech at the Securities and Exchange Commission that was broadcast on C-SPAN.
In addition to Bro's qualified advice, Rule Your Retirement brings you tips from the likes of Roger Ibbotson, Burton Malkiel, and even David Gardner -- investors whose knowledge we tap on a daily basis to ensure that you get the best possible retirement advice available.
And the most exciting part…you won't have to risk a dime to get inside.
In fact, you can read every issue of Rule Your Retirement, (that's over 50 issues from July 2004 up through today) access the dozens of special reports we've written on everything from 8 Ways to Supercharge Your Retirement to How to Give Your Retirement Plan an Annual Check Up and so much more -- absolutely Risk-FREE for the next 30 days.
You'll see how amazingly easy it is to:
Rule Your Retirement is the best place for objective, winning investment advice. We're not beholden to Wall Street. In fact, you get all the proven wisdom in Rule Your Retirement for less than it would cost you to meet with your accountant for an hour.
Best of all, you can sit down with us whenever you want -- no appointment necessary. You can even come in your pajamas if you'd like. And with Rule Your Retirement you'll learn things your accountant, broker, or financial advisor might never mention, like:
Now more than ever, with banks and financial institutions slipping away thanks to the credit crunch and subprime mortgage crisis, it's critical to understand the difference between a money market account and a money market fund.
The former is offered by a bank -- and, thus, FDIC insured -- right now up to $250,000 until December of 2009. Withdrawals are limited (generally, six per month, and no more than three checks written from the account). The money market fund is offered by financial-services organizations and is not FDIC insured. When your broker suggests these to you, you'll be wooed by yields higher than your bank's. But what you must understand is they're technically much riskier. They get their higher yields by taking on more risk.
Don't fall for it. If you need the safety and liquidity of a money market, go for a money market account. Beware of any "cash" account that offers significantly higher yields. It's either charging rock-bottom fees (i.e., Vanguard -- which is a good thing) or taking on extra risk that leaves your account open to failure.
Tips like these are just a taste of the knowledge Bro shares with members every day. You can give Rule Your Retirement a 30-day, risk-free trial right now (you don't risk a dime!) and you'll also see...
Okay. I wasn't going to tell you how to retire 15% richer just by making a phone call, but I couldn't resist. It's so perfectly simple, yet I'd bet 99% of the soon-to-retire population doesn't know it. It's called asset location -- and you'll find the step-by-step instructions for exactly how to cash in, right on page 1 of our special report, Smartest Way to Build Your Dream Retirement, during your risk-free trial of Rule Your Retirement.
Picture it -- without risking one dime -- you can retire 15% richer. And that's just one tip. There are literally hundreds more ways to pad your portfolio and boost your returns so you can live very, very well in retirement -- even if you haven't saved a dime as of today.
By spending just about 30 minutes a month you'll see how you can take control of your retirement and start building real wealth today -- no matter what's happening on Wall Street. We'll take you step-by-step through all the retirement lingo -- asset classes, fund loads, and international equities…all that stuff that sounds so overwhelming -- and help you make sense of it all so you can RULE your own retirement.
Why not take a look at Motley Fool Rule Your Retirement right now? If you're not thrilled with our Wall Street-beating advice, our portfolio-boosting, moneymaking strategies, simply let us know within 30 days and we'll refund every penny you paid. NO hassles. No questions asked. Guaranteed.
See, at The Motley Fool we have no hidden agenda. No proverbial tricks up our sleeves, we simply want to help you retire not only well, but seriously rich. That's why even if you only have time to skim our issues and special reports you'll find articles that show you:
If you want to know the stocks that have been beating the S&P for 51 years -- don't count on your broker to tell you. In fact, these stocks that have generated enormous amounts of income for in-the-know investors are virtually ignored by Wall Street, simply because they aren't glamorous.
What are they? Stocks with high-yielding dividends. You may be saying: I knew that. But did you know this? High-dividend paying stocks are safer and more reliable than stocks that rack up capital gains and all the Wall Street attention.
In fact, one financial expert said that for the 43 years from 1960 to 2003, dividends were far less volatile than earnings. In fact the standard deviation (a measure of volatility) of dividends was just 5% during this time compared to a huge 14% for earnings. So while earnings had wide swings with market fluctuation, these boring old companies kept dividend checks coming.
And dividend-yielding stocks are the best way to build real retirement wealth.
Here's how dividends can make you a fortune. Let's rewind to 1950, put $1,000 in your hand and let you choose between two solid stocks to invest in for the next five decades. Your first option is to invest in Standard Oil of New Jersey (now Exxon) or International Business Machines, better known today as IBM. Over the next 53 years Standard Oil earned a compound average of 14.42% while IBM garnered 13.83% -- a difference of just 0.59 percentage points.
Before you choose your stock, I'll give you some added info. Oil stocks went from 20% to 5% of the overall market value between 1950 and 2000, while technology stocks soared from 3% to nearly 18%.
In spite of the soaring market value of tech stocks and the seemingly paltry difference between earnings -- Standard Oil was not only the better investment, you actually come out an astounding $300,000 ahead!
How can this happen? By reinvesting your dividends. You see, in the scenario above, IBM's share price actually grew more than three percentage points a year over Standard Oil's, but because Standard Oil had a higher annual dividend return -- 5.19% vs. 2.18% -- you end up with $300,000 more in cold, hard cash!
Investing in a variety of dividend-paying stocks makes sense also. In fact, if you had invested $1,000 back in December of 1957 in an S&P index fund, you'd have $130,768 by the end of 2003 -- an annual return rate of 11.19%.
But if you had taken that same $1,000 and invested it in the top 20% of dividend paying stocks each year, you'd have an astounding $462,750. That's 3 times the gains of the S&P 500!
And there are tax advantages to this, too because you get the needed income (the dividends) and growth (long-term capital gains) at tax rates lower than ordinary income.
These companies are stable and they pay out high dividends -- and they also have great returns. What's more, even in Wall Street's darkest hours, these stocks are beating the market over a 5-year period by an average 11.4 percentage points!

Every issue makes it easy for you to understand exactly how to take control of your retirement. We'll show you how to patch the cracks in your nest egg that could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars... We'll show you how to jump-start your portfolio to rebound from the fiasco on Wall Street...

And you get it all in 30, easy-to-read minutes a month. To get this kind of advice from your broker, financial planner or accountant you'd pay hundreds if not thousands in fees and commissions. And you'd be lucky to get advice this thorough -- or this fair and objective.
But with Rule Your Retirement we'll show you step-by-step how you can enjoy the retirement of your dreams for just $8.25 a month. And we'll make it fun, too.
While brokers and advisors tend to run through numbers and supply you with thick reports loaded with financial mumbo jumbo, we bring you straight-forward, easy-to-understand advice and action plans with a healthy dose of "Foolish" humor.
When you follow the advice in Rule Your Retirement (instead of letting others make rules that affect your retirement) you're virtually guaranteed to come out happier and more successful than ever before.
Maybe that's why nearly 5 million users turn to The Motley Fool for expert financial advice…or why former SEC Chairman, Arthur Leavitt says, "The Motley Fool is the organization that best represents the interests of individual investors."
The simple truth is there are very few publications out there, and very few advisors, who call the shots as plainly as Rule Your Retirement.
We review the data, crunch the numbers and then spill the truth. We warn you about the little known traps that can cost you a fortune, like:
With Rule Your Retirement you get the expertise of Robert Brokamp, Motley Fool co-founders Tom and David Gardner, the experts we interview each month, and of course the tens of thousands of members who read, review, and answer questions on our discussion boards.
When you activate your 30-day, risk-free trial to Rule Your Retirement today you have instant access to every issue, every special report, our easy, retirement calculators and every subscriber on our boards. You can post any retirement question you'd like on our discussion boards from what's the most rewarding volunteer job for your golden years to how to keep your Social Security income from getting killed by taxes.
If you want the best retirement advice... if you want proven strategies for coming out on the bull side of the bear market then take a look at Rule Your Retirement now. It's the best bargain in investing at just $8.25 a month.
Where else can a few clicks of your mouse bring you...
You'll even uncover one way to ensure you've got a guaranteed income for the rest of your life... one that helps protect your portfolio and deals you a big fat check that shows up in your mailbox, even if the S&P drops 30%, inflation soars, and you live to be 120.
Add an annuity to your portfolio mix. Page 2 of the October issue of Rule Your Retirement can help you decide if an annuity is right for you, and if it is, we'll tell you the best way to set it up. But here's a quick look at the beauty of an income annuity.
Let's say your portfolio is 60% stocks, 30% bonds, and 10% cash (a traditional "growth" portfolio). You've got a 12.6% chance of running out of money after 30 years, if your initial withdrawal rate is the standard 4.5%.
Switch things up, so 25% of your portfolio is used to purchase an income annuity, and you drop your risk of running out of money to 7.8%. Go wild and annuitize 50% of your portfolio and your chances of going bust drop to just 3.3%.
Wait a minute you say, don't annuities lower your return? Yes and no. On average the answer is yes. But if you've looked at the news lately, you know we're witnessing unprecedented events in the market.
And that's why you should be holding to a rock-solid strategy -- like the one I'm about to reveal to you…
The best way to offset low returns in a down market is with a widely diversified portfolio, and even an income annuity that doesn't rely on the market's returns.
And now, here's what I think is one of the most incredible insights we've uncovered at Rule Your Retirement.
And let's face it, right now, after the pounding Wall Street's taken, adding to your portfolio is critical. If you're like most investors, you probably know that you're supposed to rebalance your portfolio every year. If you don't your portfolio will end up out of shape, unbalanced or weighted too heavily in one asset class while seriously lacking in another.
At least that's what we've been told for years by most financial experts. But here at The Motley Fool we question authority. We re-examine traditional wisdom, and look for the exception that can break even the most golden rules, like "Rebalance thy portfolio every year." So in true "Foolish" fashion we decided to run the numbers and see for ourselves (and of course for your benefit) just how helpful it is to rebalance every year.
What we found even shocked us!
We started with an $8,000 portfolio that was evenly divided, with $2,000 in each of the following categories: large caps, small caps, real estate investment trusts, and international stocks. And investing as smart savers would, we continued to contribute to our portfolio every year for 30 years -- from 1976 to 2006. Each year we added another $2,000, adjusted for inflation. In the end, we racked up a very respectable $1,572,911 -- all without ever rebalancing our portfolio.
Next we toed the line and followed traditional Wall Street wisdom and rebalanced our little nest egg every year... making sure we maintained a strict 25% balance in each of our four asset classes. The result? We added a nice 6% gain to our bottom line. Not bad.
That's an extra $94,973 you would have missed out on if you just let the chips fall where they may... But here's where it gets really interesting.
It turns out that rebalancing your portfolio every year might be too often. You see, hot-performing asset classes tend to continue to outperform... at least for a while. If you rebalance your portfolio too often, those winners never have a chance to run.
Or, as Foolish favorite William Bernstein wrote at EfficientFrontier.com, "There is overwhelming evidence that there is short-term persistence in asset class returns, so it is a good idea not to be so hasty pulling the trigger."
So we decided to wait three years before rebalancing our nest egg. Bingo! We more than doubled our "rebalancing bonus," from 6% to a whopping 16.7%.
What does this mean for you? By rebalancing your retirement portfolio every three years instead of every year, you could add an extra $168,334 to your bottom line.
And if you've never rebalanced your portfolio, you could add a whopping $263,317 just by doing this simple exercise every three years. All without forking over another dime.
That's over a quarter million dollars and you didn't have to kick in one extra dime to get it! Just imagine what you could do with an extra $263,397 to spend in your retirement.
Now, one note of caution: If you're already retired, rebalancing every year is a bad idea, because it could actually reduce your returns. But swearing off rebalancing completely can have dangerous consequences, too. We tell you exactly what to do instead in the August 2007 issue of Rule Your Retirement.
You can read the August issue, plus gain instant access to the entire information-packed library of Rule Your Retirement archives, including all past issues (July '04 through today) 9 special reports, our 10 favorite calculators, model portfolios, how-to guides, plus FREE access to our discussion boards where you can read what other "retirement rulers" are talking about and even post your own burning questions, plus so much more!

January 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part 1)
Click here for part 2.
New year, new Cyber Attacks Timeline. Let us start our Information Security Travel in 2012 with the chart of the attacks occurred in the first fifteen days of January. This month has been characterized so far by the leak of Symantec Source Code and the strange story of alleged Cyber Espionage revolving around it. But this was not the only remarkable event: chronicles tell the endless Cyber-war between Israel and a Saudi Hacker (and more in general the Arab World), but also a revamped activity of the Anonymous against SOPA (with peak in Finland). The end of the month has also reserved several remarkable events (such as the breaches to T-Mobile and Zappos, the latter affecting potentially 24,000,000 of users). In general this has been a very active period. For 2012 this is only the beginning, and if a good beginning makes a good ending, there is little to be quiet…
Browse the chart and follows @paulsparrows to be updated on a biweekly basis. As usual after the jump you will find all the references. Feel free to report wrong/missing links or attacks.

France3 TV's in-studio interview with Joubert (aired Sunday, Nov. 11, 2012) before TEB: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jB64V2_0LgQ
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Brian Joubert has a lovely LP this season and the choreo is not stuck in the 6.0 system like some of his past programs. Quite a lot better than Amodio's IMO.
Amodio said in the press conference at TEB that he will be changing his SP for the rest of the season.
What do you think is going to happen for Carron/Jones ?.Nothing seems to be working for them they seem to be going nowhere.Such a shame for Pernelle as she was so high up at Euros with her previous partner.This partnership just doesn't seem to be working.They've changed coaches and they have quite a nice FD .
On a positive note, they performed well at the Master's and at the NRW and have met the minimum scores for worlds. On a not-so-good note, they would have wanted to perform better at their two GPs. It's hard to believe that someone like Pernelle has not been to the Olympics yet, especially since she seems to have been in seniors for a good while now. I actually think their dances are more appealing this year than they have been in previous years, but it seems that technical mistakes let them down in their two GPs. The standard is so high these days.
I briefly checked the protocoles, they had many level 4, it's the GOE that were not so high. I too feel they made big progress under Marika.
Joubert has the flu and won't skate at French Nationals this week-end!
Oh dear! Well, at least he skates in TEB ... Not terribly well, but well enough to give him a bit of confidence going into euros I guess ...
what´s with iliusheckina/koccon? are they done?
Re-posting from the French Nationals forum in Kiss and Cry:
"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
Many thanks for the link, Sylvia!
I love Berlot's general observations.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
I enjoyed the article too. I wasn't impressed with Amodio's "new" SP but it's better than some of the alternative possibilities I've seen floated online.
FYI, L'Equipe is reporting that Brian Joubert has scrapped the Inception LP (which I thought had promise) and will use Gladiator for his LP instead, choreography by Laurie May. Cue the inevitable comments about Yagudin... although I think this is actually the first time Joubert will have a competitive LP to music Yagudin skated to in competition.
WTF? Amodio's flamenco sp was one of his better programs, and the Inception program really suited Brian.
Amodio after TEB was quoted as saying he didn't feel comfortable skating to flamenco and was going to ask Morozov to choreograph a new SP for him. It now turns out that his new SP is actually a short version of his LP of last season.
As far as Joubert's choice goes, why am I not surprised? But at least this time Brian sort of admits he was inspired by Yagudin's Gladiator which he says he adored.
Such a shame he dumped the Inception, I really liked that program.
^Oh, I see, thanks for updating me.
Joubert did not have the flu and skipped French Nationals to....work on a new LP. He won't skate to Inception anymore and will work on a Gladiator LP with Laurie May (P/B off-ice choreographer).
I don't know if the flu thing was a cover-up by the Fed, but the relationship between Joubert and the French Fed seems to be rocky right now. Joubert wants to work with Guillon but Dumont wants to be the only coach.
We always see complete 180 from Joubert during a season, so it's hard to predict the next move.
Good news. Candeloro began having his best results when his relationship with the FFSG was rocky. Let's hope it's gonna be the same for Brian. (one can hope right ?)
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
I suppose that at this point in his career, he might as well do whatever he wants and enjoy skating, rather than trying to conform to the judging system or the FFSG's "suggestions".

Pictures From Chowland!
So I got to thinking today when looking at some amazing pictures of sea slugs, wiggly octopi and pastrami creations that I might like to see some other Chowhounds doing what we do best! Eating, discovering, slicingdicingchoppitychopping... enjoying our Chowhoundiness!
I will start - natch!

Passman, AKA "Banned in Bumfuck" (Bangor), is quite the photographer. He took one of my cameras and shot pics around our house while he was here. Good eye, Markie!
1. The Holy Trinity: Two Islay single malts and Johnny Walker Black.
2. My art from 1977. I was into food, even then...
3. Pots in my kitchen.
4. Rista from Taos, circa 1980. Ah, the Taos ski trips!
re: Scargod
re: maplesugar
re: maplesugar
The other, Caol Ila, is 12 years old and one of the lighter Islay whiskies, with a milder peaty note than Lagavulin. It is interesting that, in addition to being sold as a single malt, it is used in blends such as Johnnie Walker Black, in the decanter. JWB is sweeter. I often put a dab of 10 YO Laphroaig in it...

The first one is from Dim Sum Go-go. Or is that A Go-go? Touristy, I know, but the chowpup had been there on a school trip and wanted to return. We found Homer deeper into Chinatown. The last shots are from Ferrara Bakery and Cafe (glad I took a picture of the outside, too) in Little Italy. The girls loooved their gelato after trekkin many miles through lower Manhattan on a hot day with mom.

re: cavandre
Here you go!
How's this for taking an idea full circle (sort of)?
- Baby chicks and peacocks from a farm near my mom.
- My new cute little egg pan, bought this morning.
- My first fried egg (I usually prefer them scrambled, but these are freshly laid yesterday from the farm above, so...)
- My Alice Waters-inspired breakfast: fried farm-fresh egg over lettuce (picked from my deck) tossed with bacon drippings and tomato atop a piece of toasted ciabatta...with bacon, of course, and home-fried new potatoes. I didn't cook it over my fireplace because I have an electric stove. :)
re: kattyeyes
re: kattyeyes
re: EWSflash
Thanks, Patti!
EWSflash, I know you're teasing and I'm sure the potatoes weren't organic, but the ciabatta is from Cha Baso Bakery in New Haven, Connecticut. "Our classic ciabatta topped with extra virgin olive oil and salt. No preservatives. Trans fats free. All natural. Voted Best of Connecticut. An American Artisan Bakery." I'll use what's left to make my broccoli cheddar strata. :) I'm hoping my friend (who has the other half a loaf) will do the same.
Time for another AW breakfast here. Do you think bacon drippings on the salad cancel out the health components? Nevermind. This morning I don't care. ;) Keep those photos comin', hounds!
re: kattyeyes
Chowish greetings from the House of Scargod! We had another lovely dinner there last night, starting with hummus we made (no photos, sorry) using freshly picked parsley and garlic and garlic scapes he pulled from the ground right before we made it. I'll let him fill you in on the particulars. Dammit, we forgot to take a picture of my Ghirardelli brownies with raspberries!
re: kattyeyes
Okay dokey! The first image is russets mashed with skins on, It has white pepper, sour cream and curly parsley in it. Cooked in mostly chicken stock and butter.
Next is the French style Pork Stew. Fresh romaine leaves and dill from the garden plus boiler onions and cream. I added a semi-sweet Sherry and some chipotle pepper.
Lastly, lightly steamed, undressed and unseasoned sugar snaps from the garden.
Pic is of two, last remaining brownies. Pics cannot describe how good these were (Ghirardelli Chocolate and fresh raspberries), nor can you see the raspberries inside.
We had two different bottles of French Ponot Noir and a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Quite a feast and great company.
What a great idea for a post!
Thanks Sal! I was smiling (and drooling!!) through each post!
The only chowish pic I have handy here at work is of this fantastic dessert I had after one of the best meals of me life at Castle Hotel Auf Schoenburg in Oberwesel Germany
It was a salted chocolate mousse wrapped with a thin bannana cake, carmelized hazelnuts, a malted milkshake and rosemary icecream with pineapple bits...... yummmm
First image is of the Goryokaku 5-point star shaped fort in Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan. Second image is of the 5-point star shaped uni and ikura donburi in Hakodate, Hokkaido, Japan. Both were inspiring. One of them was delicious.
I guess it would be best for me to just post a link to my photos at chowhound.
I have attached a photo of some Nova smoked salmon I smoked a while ago.
I am currently smoking a side of steelhead trout as I type.
re: scubadoo97
re: linguafood
I just pulled my stealhead trout off the smoker.
I did a two step cure/brine.
First cured in a mix of salt, brown sugar and coriander. I had an old fish poacher which we never used. Put a big thick layer of cure at the bottom, but the fish in and covered it completely in cure.
Let stand for 24 hrs in the fridge. Remove from cure and refresh in ice water. Then into a wet brine of salt and brown sugar for about 8 hrs. Rinse well and give a brief soak in water to remove surface salt.
Back into the fridge over night to form a pelicle.
Into the smoker for a cold smoke for 2-3 hrs. I used apple as this was the only fruit wood I had
Recent meal where Chowhounds Mark (Passadumkeg), and Kattyeyes came to our place and helped with meal. Kattyeyes made dessert of peach flambeau with vanilla ice cream. No pics of it...
Mark is quite the accomplished Mexican food cook, however, when I asked if something was OK he usually said, "go for it". I took a while for me to get the method or logic of cutting the tongue (lingua), on the bias.
Shown are Mark, at work in my kitchen, next, tongue simmering, my beans, and plantains frying, then armwrestling for who's the best cook, and spread on table: papaya, tomatillo/green chile salsa and lingua.
re: Scargod
Yet another fun and tasty meal...and I cannot believe I ate TONGUE (I honestly thought you were joking at first)! Dessert was supposed to be Peaches Foster. Everyone mocked me when I said I made a mistake and put too much rum in it (as if there is such a problem, they all said). Everyone seemed to enjoy it, though it was more like peachy rum soup over ice cream. Come to think of it, that doesn't sound half bad! ;) XOXO
P.S. You left out the chiles rellenos--those were delicious! And the ribs, too!
re: kattyeyes
re: kattyeyes
Thanks KAT. The peaches "Kat Flambeau", was great!
Our brother, Markie, the outcast, "banned in Bar Harbor Boshko", said to tell everyone "of course I'm going to say "Go for it." When you allow me to drink 16 year old single malt; plus I have faith in you and the rellanos were not "authentic", but ad libbed. KAT, the peaches w/ the ginger ice cream were deliscious and for a bunch of rummies, it was perfect."
Markie also said that he had some of the best pork ribs he has ever had! Ain't that sweet! (The secret is Scargod's dry rub...)
The tongue was cooked in Hatch red chile sauce with fresh Bay leaf, then I roasted it for a bit on the grill before stripping off the skin and carving. We had blue corn tortillas, mantequilla de plátano frito (butter-fried, ripe plantains-VERY sweet!), yucky yuca, sweet, luscious papaya, God pintos (meaning my pintos with chopped tomatoes, garlic, black pepper and epazote) and a little Patron Silver to keep the cooks happy.
Other pics: two apple pies I made last year.
re: Scargod
I think we have to have a lobster roll on hand for this thread.
re: Fritter
Game on, Fritter--here's a scallop roll from Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale in Westbrook, CT:
Their cole slaw is my favorite anywhere!
Picture of last dinner as we roughed it in BC. Freshly caught grilled trout, lamb chops, bok choy with toasted cashews, scallions, oyster mushrooms and garlic. Wine not shown...
Note to self: It's hard to use regular stove in open air environment. They are meant to be in a closed room, against a wall, with minimum air movement! As is, flame gets blown sideways or sucked down into stove. Stove behind fridge, on right side of image.
breakfast: Brebis Frais/sheep milk's cheese. very mild and creamy!

re: kirinraj
Hope you're having a wonderful time! Now, I have to ask...have you eaten chapulines yet (there's a picture!!!)? I didn't when we went, but everyone else at our table did. ;) I sense there are more Kodak moments coming from you, so I look forward to seeing your next post. I would also love to see a photo of the Zócalo if you get there to enjoy a hot chocolate. Continue to enjoy! :)
do we have an official food erotica thread? is this it? there's one specifically for dinner but we eat some other delicious bits throughout the day, don't we?
well anyhow, i made it, i photographed it, and then....... i ate it. ;) my favourite meatless weekend lunch: potted north sea prawns.
(normal size pics all in one post here: http://saudades.proboards.com/index.c...)
And because I have no shame... here is my pantry. I did not bother to try to make it look pretty or to hide embarrassing... I already fessed up to owning and greedily gulping them all down anyway (Velveeta, French's Onions, Jiffy mix, giant tub on lard!, marshmallows and 15YO commercial sized cumin...
Oh well, it is always so much fun looking in other people's pantry and fridge - I should have made a new topic!

It's been a while since we had a local get-together so I'm going to be the catalyst and get it started again. Last time we had one planned it really didn't pan out. That's not going to happen this time.
Date: July 20. If this turns out a flop for most, we can move it to July 27. July 6 and 13 is out of the question.
Time: Just show up. We can say 1-2 PM, but you're free to come anytime. BYOB
Location: Off Hwy 380, between Denton and McKinney. Actual address to be PM'ed/emailed closer to date.
I'm going to reach out to Jim, Rob, and a few other guys that are MIA and try to get them back on the scene. Bring any gear you want. We have room to set up two different systems (including mine) with ease. I'll obviously be showcasing my new Shuguang monoblocks/pre, and hopefully doing so with pride. Any Polkie is welcome and so are your friends. If you end up staying late and having too much, well, I have couches for that. All I care is that its a good time for all.

Gov. Scott Leads 200 Member Delegation to Colombia
December 3, 2012 | WMFE - Governor Rick Scott and an entourage of nearly 200 people left Florida over the weekend for a trade mission to Colombia. The members of the delegation include former Gov. Bob Martinez, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn, several state cabinet members and representatives from 116 Florida companies.
The delegation will meet with Colombian commerce, industry and tourism officials.
Governor Scott has meetings scheduled with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and U.S. Ambassador P. Michael McKinley.
Gov. Scott says he hopes to generate new contacts and expand relationships with existing business partners.
Colombia is the state's second largest trading partner with an estimated nine billion dollars worth of goods exchanged between the two countries annually.
Florida buys gold, oil, clothing, flowers and other goods from Colombia. Florida businesses sell electronics, auto parts, airplanes and other aerospace technology to Colombia, the fifth largest economy in Latin America
Gov. Scott says he wants to expand and strengthen relationships there ahead of the upcoming expansion of the Panama Canal.
