"In the largest part of the book, Cottret explores Calvin's life chronologically. We are introduced to the world into which Calvin was born, a Europe in the throes of upheaval owing to the development of the printing press and divergent religious views. We follow Calvin from his birth and childhood in Noyon to his school years in Paris. We accompany Calvin on his humanistic and literary pursuits in Basel, his early ministry in Geneva, and his halcyon Strasbourg years. Finally, we move again to Geneva, where the brunt of Calvin's serious - and better known - life was lived.".
"Along the way we encounter the major issues of Calvin's day - the sacrifice of the Mass, iconoclasm, predestination, the Arianism of Michael Servetus - issues to which he reacted with all his religious emotion. We tarry with him in Geneva and get an up-close look at the governance of Calvinism's "holy city." Further, we share in Calvin's joys and sorrow through a reading of his prolific correspondence. In the final chapters, Cottret explores thematic aspects of Calvin's persona - Calvin the polemicist, the preacher, and the writer - and looks in greater depth at his foremost work, the Institutes of the Christian Religion."--BOOK JACKET.

New York, NY
Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.
Hedgehog Solutions, Orem, UT
Price. Quality. Service. After 37 years in business, I've finally found a vendor who has all three. Wait! I just thought of one more - Variety. Now how can you beat four-out-of-four? I just love it when a printer makes my designs come to life and the client raves when they receive the final product. Thank you, PrintGlobe.

[QUOTE=Pebbles67;1107174]Megan, Why is your fat so low?[/QUOTE]
Poor planning I guess. By dinner I had run out of protein and really wanted to see how things ended up on the monitor if protein was around 50g. Short of drinking oil I was sort of stuck. I'm hoping today is better but it's not looking like it so far. I tried my first avocado last week and I'm not a huge fan. Trying to stay away from dairy but have used HWC and Cream Cheese for the fat. I just need to find some stuff that works and so far I haven't found it. Still hungry today. It's about 4:30 and I have about 25g of protein to mess with for the rest of the day. Then I'll test again in the morning and will hopefully be above 2. :-)

Vernacular Typography: Collect And Document Examples Of These Vanishing Symbols Of Art And Culture.
One vanishing art that can still be studied in the interstices of the assault of global retail is vernacular typography.
All over the world, there are cities and towns that retain their rich traditions of vernacular signage. Unfortunately, the fate of these typographic havens is being threatened by the uniformity of corporate advertising, which ignores and subverts local history and tradition.
Visit Vernacular Typography for further information and interesting images around the world. You can also donate to support the project.

Okay instead of continuing my tangent in the other thread that is not originally about baby signing, I figured I'd start a new one. We are starting to introduce signs to our 3 month old. I'm curious how old others have started using signing with babies, and how old babies were when they started signing. Also wondering what signs you found most useful. We have been teaching "milk" "bath" "home" "library" "dog" ... it's sort of come about randomly so far. I'm guessing "milk" will be her first sign, lol.

Yup, Obama is the worst socialist ever......
Jeb, listen to your momma, she knows your family has caused enough damage.....
Worst president ever X 2.Guilty of crimes against humanity.May the protests at his "Lie-berry" never end....
the wing nuts are about to fly off, DUCK !LMAO
My condolences to all those affected by the senseless acts committed yesterday in Boston. Yes, it was an act of terror, and those responsible will be found and brought to justice.
If there is one constant, it is that the haters will come out on any and every topic. Why not check and see if there is a group rate at David Lawrence? Whether you realize it or not, you have deep seated mental problems. Much like the representatives you have put in Congress, you say and do nothing positive, with a weak grasp of reality, blinded by hatred. Pitiful excuses of human beings, much less Americans.
90% of Americans favor universal background checks. 90% !! And if you are one of the 10% that don't, YOU are the ones I want to be checked ! And no, the blood of innocent children does not get washed from your hands.....
and on another topic....
Rubio - "My skepticism about gun laws is criminals don't follow the law. They don't care what the law is, you can pass any law you want and criminals won't follow it, by definition."
"Criminals don't follow the laws on burglary and on murder and on auto theft," host Bob Schieffer countered. "And I think most people would say those laws are fairly effective."
I see the sheeple are already bleating.... silly Republican voters, wanting to keep giving to the rich and corporations, unwilling to compromise, paying no attention to facts or history.
NDN, there is no way you know what my last post stood for, seeing as I had to explain to you what 'p#d' means.Maybe it stood for American Most Fortunate....

Funniest frickin' thing I have read in a looooong time... LMAO
Restore sanity ! Vote every TeaThuglican out of every office possible in 2016 !
Does the fact that the Republican leaders conducted an "autopsy" mean anything to you sheeple ??
LMAO at Republican voters.... don't worry, we will save you from yourselves
Put any two Republican names together and it sounds hilarious... plus they still have hundreds of stupid things to say between now and 2016.
One only has to read the posts by the die hard RWNJ here to confirm who is the Party of Stupid. That title was given by one of your own. Any party that has to use gerrymandering and voter suppression to hope to win an election; THAT is truly unamerican ....

Scott ? LMAO Congress ? Useless with the TeaThuglicans
Thank you, President Obama !

Bush2 doubled unemployment, Obama doubled the stock market. Worst socialist ever !
thanx for saying what a first class racist Teanderthal thinks, again, fishface
Let's finish the purge, and vote the Teanderthals out in 2014, starting with this pos.....
Obama is the worst socialist ever !
buh-bye Mitt, good riddance to bad garbage. Vote the rest of the TeaThuglicans out in 2014, from Congress down to dog catcher. They do not have one workable policy, they are all bought and paid for by corporations and special interests and will use gerrymandering and anything thing else they can think of, because they cannot win an election fairly.
Rethuglicans still are the "party of stupid", this is what they have built..... vote their sorry excuses out in 2014, we have had enough.
Vote every Teapublican out in 2014, they are totally useless and detrimental to the country. Boehner is a joke, a really bad one....
you got that right, Double Nickels... and TSOL, you're still a racist jerk
The (R)'s have decided to continue to be the "Party of stupid", no surprise there. Stock market hits an all time high, Obama is the worst socialist ever....continue with your hate and babble, it's very entertaining.
Thank you President Obama, bringing us back from the total disaster of the Bush2 administration and failed Republican policies. The rest of the obstructionist will be voted out in 2014, unless Karl Rove eats them first....
here's one NDN won't report on.... you know the Republican motto: "if we can't win fairly, we'll cheat and blame someone else". Pink Slip Rick Scott, the worst governor in America....
in response to DinNaples: One to protect us from foreign aggression, the other from progressives.
in response to DinNaples:
One to protect us from foreign aggression, the other from progressives.
Didn't Jindal tell you to quit being stupid ?
So, let's make sure I have this right.... Republicans refuse to any cuts in the defense budget, but have to have an arsenal of weapons to protect themselves from the governments weapons........
no, that's not crazy.....
well, doesn't this just blow the NRA's statement all to hell.... surprise, surprise
It's the Republican way !
"(Conservatives) have become humorless, angry opponents of the President... Conservatives, frankly, have become purveyors of outrage... We've become professional victims dialed up to 10 on the outrage meter. Who the hell wants to listen to conservatives whining and moaning all the time about the outrage du jour? ... Be happy. ... And if you must be angry, don't be angry at a President doing what he set out to do, be angry at a Republican Establishment not doing . . . well . . . much of anything."
Erick Erickson - Conservative Blogger
and this from Bobby Jindal :
"We must stop being the stupid party. I'm serious. It's time for a new Republican party that talks like adults. It's time for us to articulate our plans and visions for America in real terms. We had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. We've had enough of that."
Here's another one :
Fox News military analyst Lt. Col. Ralph Peters (ret.) — who has certainly not been known for his affection for progressives and liberalism — praised Clinton's performance. "I came away with deeper respect for Hillary Clinton's bureaucratic lawyerly brilliance," Peters said. "I mean she was just tough and good and the Republicans were wienies."
Thank Goodness I never ever ever ever have to say "President Romney"
Magic81.... don't take it personally, it's just WinterDogHaven's lovable personality and people skills. He does not get much social interaction in the Estates, and it was too cold for him to mow lawns yesterday so he gets extra cranky and stupid.
Inauguration Day. When Faux News turns into the suicide hotline.
in response to HAP: Disgusting. Guess how much of your dwindling paycheck is paying for the hair straighting of the BO's wife, who can't speak thru her teeth.

and you think you're disgusted ? Think how we feel, having to share the country with racist buttwipes like you.....
TGIO !!!Thank goodness I never ever ever have to say "President Romney" !!!!
the ReThuglicans are the joke, the ones still in office and the ones on this web site. Fools and idiots, one and all....
I agree with AlexKarras, and I would also like to add "I told you so".....
..... enjoy the sinking of your ship, rats
"This isn't a Senate problem, or a White House problem. It is a Boehner problem. Speaker Boehner can't even get enough control over his caucus to get them to vote for his own legislation, much less anything that comes out of the Senate. When people talk about our government being broken, they are specifically referring to chaos in legislative process that is routinely being caused by House Republicans.
Sen. Sanders wasn't having any of the mainstream media's both sides do it false equivalency. Both sides don't do it. As long as House Republican extremists continue to place protecting the rich ahead of governing congressional dysfunction will continue to paralyze this country.
The fiscal cliff may be the final act in the House Republican drama of dysfunction that the nation will bring the curtain down on in 2014."
the haters just keep grasping at straws... keep talking, you have almost reached success in killing the GOP, after 2014 it will cease to exist entirely :)

Congress has no problem giving themselves a raise. It is time we legislate to the legislators....

Description This is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/780,379 filed on Feb. 12, 2001 pending which is a divisional of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/262,559 filed Mar. 3, 1999 now abandoned; which is a divisional application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/894,107 filed Aug. 12, 1997 now abandoned which is the United States National Stage of PCT International Application No. PCT/EP95/04939, filed Dec. 13, 1995, and claims priority from the PCT Application Under 37 U.S.C.� 119. The invention relates to a metallic body to be bonded to the outside of a housing, i.e. shell or encasing, especially a vibrating machine. In addition, the invention especially relates to the housing of a sensor intended for transforming a physical quantity, in particular vibration, into a corresponding electrical signal, or relates to an adaptor for attaching such a sensor to the housing of a machine, the body exhibiting a substantially flat adhesion surface, and the invention relates to an adhesive connection between the adhesive surface of such a body and a corresponding opposite adhesive surface situated on the outside of a machine housing. Sensors for transforming a physical quantity into a corresponding electrical signal, for example, acceleration sensors for transforming signals of vibration into a corresponding electrical signal, frequently have to be fastened to the housing of a machine in a durable and reliable manner, as well as in a suitable manner that allows an undistorted and essentially undamped transmission of the physical quantity to be transformed. This should be done either by direct action or, in the case the sensor is intended for easy dismounting, by means of an adaptor which has to be fastened to the housing of a machine in a corresponding manner. A known method of attaching will provide a sensor or adaptor to be screwed onto the housing of a machine, such housing being provided with a threaded hole of comparatively extensive diameter, and a solid threaded stub that extends from the housing of the sensor or of an adaptor, will be screed into said threaded hole. This known method of fastening requires considerable amounts of work and is timeconsuming, especially in the case the threaded hole will have to be provided to the machine after the machine has been placed to its intended working position, which is the most frequent case. In addition, the aforementioned known method of attaching a sensor or and adaptor to a housing of a machine will not be applicable in case the housing must not be drilled into. In order to avoid the aforementioned difficulties it has been suggested already, to bond the sensor or the adaptor to the housing of a machine by gluing. Especially with vibrating machinery the problem had not yet been solved, to attain an adhesive connection between a sensor or an adaptor and the housing of a machine which will be long-lasting and which will have strength of such quality to assure a reliable bonding. The underlying problem, and therefore an object of the invention, is to design both the body to be bonded and the adhesive connection in such manner, that a permanent attachment of the sensor will be effected solely by gluing, i.e. without the necessity of drilling a screw hole (tap hole) of large dimension into the housing of a machine. The aforementioned problem will be solved for one part by providing a design of the metallic body to be bonded in accordance with claim 1 and for another part by the specific creation or design of the adhesive connection between such body and the housing of a machine. The characteristics of claim 1 will assure, that an adhesive (or glue) which is supplied in a sufficient amount between metallic body and the housing of a machine will not only be distributed reliably about the adhesion surface while the metallic body and the housing of the machine will be made to rotatably approach each other. Moreover, the adhesive will also be drawn into the region of an undercut direct adjacent to the adhesion surface, in a claw-giving fashion, onto the dorsal (back) side of the wedge shaped form (of the undercut). This will produce an especially strong connection between a housing of a machine and the metallic body once the adhesive has cured. A prerequisite for this kind of connection is, that the amount of adhesive that is supplied to a body designed according to claim 1 and a housing of a machine, will be more than an amount that would be sufficient only to cover the adhesion surfaces. Also, the metallic body will have to approach the housing of a machine in a rotating way about an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the adhesion surface, preferably about ca. the central longitudinal axis of the metallic body. The invention may not only be used with advantage when bonding sensors or adaptors for sensors to a housing of a machine, but also is of advantage for attachment of any metallic body to machines by bonding or gluing, in particular for attaching to those machines that may vibrate and which require a permanent connection of high strength of stability. Subsequently, the invention will be explained in more detail, referring to the drawing of a preferred embodiment. In the accompanying drawing, it is shown by FIG. 1: a side view, partly as a longitudinal section, of a metallic body relating to the form of a sensor or an adaptor for a sensor, the body being attached to the housing of a machine FIG. 2: a cross section along cutting line II�II of FIG. 1 through the adhesive connection between the metallic body and the housing of a machine FIG. 3: a plan view of the adhesion surface on the housing of a machine, intended for bonding the metallic body onto it, and FIG. 4: a cross section (to enlarged scale) of a thread grooving stud that is additionally provided for an adhesive connection according to FIG. 1. In FIG. 1 a metallic body 1 is shown from a side view, being adhesively bonded to a housing 2 of a machine. The housing 2 of a machine is shown in longitudinal section along a sectional plane which includes a centerline 3, which centerline defines a rotational symmetry of body 1. Also, adhesive 5 is shown in a cutaway view along said sectional plane. In the drawing if FIG. 1 only a part of the housing 2 of a machine is shown, being of proximity to body 1. The machine may constitute for example a motor, or a generator, or the like, the vibrations of such machine being measured e.g. in order to monitor the wear of a rolling-bearing provided for its rotor. For this purpose, an acceleration sensor is set onto (lit: in) and contacting the metallic body 1, or else, body 1 constitute an adapter for receiving a separate sensor intended for acceleration measurements, such that the sensor may be fastened to the adaptor, but allowing for easy disengagement of same. Metallic body 1, on its face side that is oriented towards the housing 2 of a machine, exhibits a disk-like shoulder 4, body and shoulder being unitary and made from the same piece of material. Also, the face area of body 1 oriented towards the housing 2 of a machine is constituting an adhesion surface 4 a for adhesively bonding body 1 to an opposite adhesive surface 2 a of a housing 2 of a machine. The disk-like shoulder 4 is formed in such way, that the adhesion surface 4 a is adjoined or supplemented, towards the central volume of body 1, by an undercut 4 b which forms an acute, wedge-shaped edge with the periphery of the adhesion surface 4 a. Thus, the mentioned shoulder will be formed like a truncated cone turned upside down. Using a design of this kind will effect a sufficient amount of adhesive 5 that is applied to adhesive surface 2 a and which amount is greater compared to an amount required for only covering adhesion surfaces 2 a and 4 a, to be drawn into the undercut 4 b in a reliable manner. After curing, the adhesive will set behind the undercut in a claw-like fashion around the periphery of the disk-like shoulder 4. By this an especial strong and vibration-resistant permanent connection between metallic body 1 and housing 2 of a machine will be obtained, as soon as the adhesive has hardened. In order to even improve the bonding strength of adhesive 5 against adhesion surface 4 a of body 1, this surface will be pre-formed with multiple grooves 6, as shown in FIG. 2, and the single grooves 6 a having an arc-like curvature, e.g. the demonstrated embodiment shows arcs of circles that intersect each other. In order to improve the bonding strength of the adhesive 5 against an opposite adhesion surface 2 a of the housing of a machine, this surface is also provided with a set of multiple grooves 7, the single grooves 7 a of which intersect according to a pattern of checkers (karoartig). The embodiment, presented as an example, shows these grooves to be straight. However, they may exhibit an arc-like curvature comparable to grooves 6 a of adhesion surface 4 a. It is preferred, to have opposite adhesive surface 2 a of housing 2 of a machine, as well as adhesive surface 4 a of body 1, of essentially flat shape. Usually, it will take some time before the adhesive has hardened, which has been applied to adhesion surfaces 2 a and 4 a and which adhesive, after said adhesion surfaces have been placed closely to each other, has progressed into undercut 4 b. Therefore, it is advised to stabilize the position of body 1 relative to housing 2 by additional means. For this purpose, it is intended to utilize a stud 8 which is provided with a thread for cutting or generating threadlike grooves, the cross section of said stud being of polygon shape (cf. FIG. 4). Stud 8 may be screwed into a central bore-hole within adhesion surface 4 a or also into a central bore-hole of adhesion surface 2 a of a housing 2 of a machine, with the thread of the stud being worked into the walls of said bore-holes, and the bore-holes being oriented perpendicular to the mentioned adhesion surfaces. The primary function of this thread grooving stud 8 is not intended to fasten body 1 onto a housing 2 of a machine, but rather to secure body 1 to its predefined final position, whilst the adhesive has not hardened. Of course, this stud will improve the strength of the connection to a certain degree once the adhesive has hardened, however, the adhesive connection is of such design, that it will exhibit sufficient permanent strength of the bonding after the adhesive has hardened, even without this thread-grooving stud 8. FIGS. 2 and 3 do not show the thread-grooving stud 8. In case it is allowed to drill into the housing 2 of a machine so as to furnish a corresponding borehole 2 b, this stud will be screwed into bore-hole 4 c of body 1 as well as into borehole 2 b of housing 2. However, an intended adhesive connection from body 1 to housing 2 of a machine may be rendered as well, in case it is not allowed to make a bore-hole 2 b into a corresponding housing 2 of a machine. According to the invention, it is preferred to use a metal based glue 5 consisting of a plastic base-material and a metallic filler (e.g. so called plastic-steel). This not only will yield the intended mechanical connection of very high strength between body 1 and the housing 2 of a machine, but also will produce a most possible undamped and undistorted transfer of a physical quantity to be studied, which is vibration in the embodiment discussed as a preferred example, in direction towards the sensor. The reason for this is, that an adhesive of this type has also very good properties regarding that aspect, because of its incorporated metal filler. Patent Citations

About Kulture shock
Official Site:
Destined to set the music industry on fire, Stephie Lecor, Jase, and City Boi make up Poe Boy Music Group's International pop sensation, Kulture Shock.
Fresh from Miami, these three young artists are putting their creative styles and musical talents together in a unique way that complements each other's energy.
Before joining forces to become a trio, original members Jase and City focused their efforts on song writing, and collaborating with various artists. After successfully landing a track entitled "Story of my life" with Interscope Record's newly signed rapper Billy Blue ft. Akon, Jase and City were on a rise to stardom. Other songwriting credits included "Married to the Streets" by French Montana ft. Akon, and "Test Drive" by Atlantic Records recording artist, Pleasure P.
In 2009 Jase and City teamed up with solo artist, Stephie Lecor- a Miami native who had just wrapped the Van Halen nationwide tour as a backup singer for KyMani Marley. This songstress would be the missing piece to the group in the eyes of Poe Boy Music Group's President, Big Chuck.
Kulture Shock has been taking Miami by storm over the past few years while developing their sound and performing at major events across Florida. They have performed on the NBC Today Show, the NBC Good Morning South Florida. Since their performances aired on NBC, Kulture Shock has continued to delight fans at various music festivals, charity events, nightclubs, and fashion shows. This animated trio has performed alongside artists such as Flo Rida; and has opened for acts such as Pitbull. Travie McCoy, New Boyz, Mia Martina, Jeremiah, Sean Kingston, Waka Flocka and many more.
As collective songwriters, Kulture Shock enjoys making *fun music. "We want people to feel the need to have a good time and just dance their problems away."
Influenced by a wide spectrum of artists, such as *Bob Sinclair, Kayne West, and Etta James, the trio enjoys all genres of music including Rock, Pop, Rap, R&B, and Country.
"If Pop/Dance/Hip Hop and RnB had a baby it would be Kulture Shock." says the group.
Inspired by everyday life, Kulture Shock describes music as an "emotion/feeling."
"It's a rewarding feeling to see your efforts and emotions come out sounding so insane. Honestly you feel like a proud parent; because you watch this child grow from lyrics to a melody to a complete song that people love and relate to," explains Kulture Shock.
The group recently inked a joint venture deal with France based record label Artop/Universal. And, with their recent visit to Morocco to prepare for the release of their new hit single "Rock Steady", Kulture Shock is about to take the music industry by storm.

The Audi R8 has proved to be a huge success for the German manufacturer and replacing it is no mean feat. Audi hopes to improve on the R8s success but adding more power, decreasing weight and incorporating a radical new design.
When first launched in 2006 the only real change the R8 has seen since then was a recent facelift last year. The biggest change was the removal of the car's only real Achilles heel – its R tronic gearbox – which was replaced by a slick-shifting S tronic transmission.
The new R8, which Audi plans to unveil in 2015, will stay true to the current concept, maintaining the cars proportions and interior space. However it will undergo more dramatic cosmetic changes. Neat new design features will include a more prominent single-frame grille that will eventually grace all Audi's RS-badged models and there will also be new matrix-beam LED lights with an updated daytime running light design. A shorter version of the car's trademark sideblade is also expected.
Audi isn't expected to follow rival manufactures such as Porsche, Ferrari and McLaren down the hybrid supercar route, however. Instead, the R8 will be fitted with a revised version of the current V8 and V10, with power hikes of around 25bhp for both, taking them to 450bhp and 570bhp respectively. For the first time on the R8, all engines will get cylinder deactivation and stop-start technology. Expect a 10 per cent improvement in fuel economy
Audi will use lessons learned from its R8 LMS racer, adding a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) bonnet and roof to save weight, while a version of the downforce-generating double diffuser used on the LMP1 Le Mans winner is expected, too. The car will also draw on the R8 e-tron – adopting its Multimaterial Spaceframe body, which uses 23 per cent carbon fibre in its construction to save 23kg. Also likely to be included are the e-tron's glass fibre-reinforced polymer suspension springs, CFRP anti-roll bars, ceramic brakes and titanium rear wheel hubs. All this will help keep the weight below 1,500kg.
However, carbon fibre isn't just for body panel and interior trim; it will form 23 per cent of the R8's chassis, resulting in a stiffer body. Groundbreaking suspension will see glass fibre-reinforced polymer coils save weight without compromising performance.
The interior will benefit from a thorough overhaul, with most functions incorporated into a new MMI system. Digital dials are also likely, as is a digital rear-view mirror that uses a hi-res camera to produce an image on a screen.
The new R8 V8 is expected to cost from just under £100,000.
Bold grille
Speaking to Auto Express at the Detroit Motor Show back in January, quattro division boss Franciscus van Meel confirmed the striking grille you see here will feature on future RS cars.
Race tech
Audi is keen to transfer tech directly from the race track to the road. As a result, the carbon fibre bonnet from the R8 LMS will be used, as well as a high-downforce double-diffuser.
If you thought suspension springs had to be made of metal, think again. Groundbreaking glass fibre-reinforced polymer coils help save weight without compromising performance.
Carbon fibre isn't just for body panel and interior trim; it will form a key part (23 per cent) of the R8's chassis in varying thicknesses – and make the body four times stiffer.
Both V8 and V10 will get a major efficiency boost with the addition of stop-start and cylinder deactivation, which cuts half the cylinders under light throttle loads.

Transforming Savings to Retirement Income
Funding Your Golden Years
Take Action!
- Identify your retirement goals
- Take inventory of your sources of income
- Choose your withdrawal rate wisely
For all investors, there comes a time when the fruits of their labor need to start working for them – that pivotal point when lifelong accumulators need to begin drawing upon their investments to pay themselves back in retirement. Making that emotional and practical shift from an accumulator of assets to a decumulator can be stressful, particularly at a time when markets are volatile and income sources are scarce. Planning ahead can make all the difference.
Step 1: Assess Your Needs
- Identify your retirement goals. The first step in determining how much income you will need in retirement is to pinpoint your goals.
- Itemize your anticipated expenses. Once you determine what you want to do in retirement, you can begin estimating the income required to fund those ambitions.
Step 2: Identify Retirement Income Sources
- Inventory existing income sources. Take stock of the income sources you have now or anticipate having in the future (e.g., full- or part-time employment, Social Security, pensions, annuities).
- Identify investment assets. These may include company retirement plans, individual retirement accounts (IRAs), taxable investments, deferred annuities, real estate and cash value life insurance.
Step 3: Mind (and Close) the Gap
For most, their anticipated annual expenses will be higher than their expected annual income. That gap often can be closed through a well-thought-out plan to withdraw from your investment portfolio. In developing a withdrawal plan, keep in mind these important considerations:
- Choose your rate wisely. A higher annual withdrawal rate can shrink your years of retirement income. Withdrawing 6% instead of 5% annually, assuming a 7% investment return, cuts your portfolio's livelihood from 36 to 25 years.
- Know that things will change. Your income needs may change over the course of your retirement. A plan that works at age 65 may not work at 85. Plan to revisit your strategy.
- Mix it up. Combining different withdrawal strategies (e.g., fixed, inflation-adjusted) to target specific needs can make good sense. The assets supporting each income requirement are invested according to that need.
- Beware dollar cost "ravaging." The concept of dollar cost averaging, which works well when accumulating assets, works in reverse when decumulating. By taking out a fixed dollar amount from your investments on a regular basis, you sell more shares when prices are low and fewer when prices are high. Consider taking income from bond coupons and stock dividends instead of selling shares outright.

Abstract: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in children. Probiotics, due to their beneficial effects on the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., improving gut barrier function, motility, facilitation of intestinal adaptation and decreasing pathogen load and inflammation) may have a therapeutic role in the management of SBS. To conduct a systematic review of the current evidence for the effects of probiotic supplementation in children with SBS, the standard Cochrane methodology for systematic reviews was used. The databases, Pubmed, Embase, ACTR, CENTRAL, and the international trial registry, and reference lists of articles were searched for randomised (RCT) or quasi-randomised controlled trials reporting on the use of probiotics in SBS. Our search revealed no RCTs on the use of probiotics in children with SBS. We found one small cross-over RCT (placebo controlled crossover clinical trial), one case control study and nine case reports on the use of probiotics in children with SBS. In the crossover RCT, there was no consistent effect on intestinal permeability (primary outcome) after supplementation with Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LGG) in nine children with SBS. The case control study (four cases: four controls) reported a trend for increase in height and weight velocity and improvement in non-clinical outcomes, such as gut flora, lymphocyte count and serum prealbumin. Five of the nine case reports showed that children (n = 12) with SBS were benefited (e.g., cessation of diarrhoea, improved faecal flora, weight gain and weaning from parenteral nutrition) by probiotic supplementation. The remaining four reported on the adverse effects, such as Lactobacillus sepsis (n = 3) and d-lactic acidosis (n = 2). There is insufficient evidence on the effects of probiotics in children with SBS. The safety and efficacy of probiotic supplementation in this high-risk cohort needs to be evaluated in large definitive trials.

What are you on??? Medicare or SS disability..... What if the spouse does not work and does not receive tax payer funds...... You go out and make enough to have it taken from you to support people on the dole like you are.... Do It!!! And stay out of Pappy's...... Can returns for money will get harder to come by as more of you collect them on the roadside.......<quoted text>
So you think it is unfair that UPS would do that?
Maybe someone in Congress or the White House could amend the ACA to make sure that both employers are required to pay for the health insurance for one person....
That should cost less!

To be fair here, if the spouse doesn't work then they can be covered under the other spouse's plan, whether it is at UPS or company X. UPS is forcing those workers who have health care coverage at the spouses place of work to drop the coverage of their non-UPS working spouse. Yes it is wrong (because of Ombamcare) but this isn't a matter of UPS saying that they simply aren't going to cover their employees spouses. The headline is telling a different story (big surprise). |
Judged: 1 1 1 I think the main point is we have yet another example of Obamacare not living up to the promises from those that continue to pitch it to the American people. When it's supporters have to say, "well, you were lucky to have spousal coverage in the first place, so it's really not so bad that you're losing now under Obamacare...", you know they're finding it difficult to find a foothold on this horrible piece of legislation. UPS won't be the only company making cost-saving adjustments that hurt the middle class worker as a result of this government debacle. |
Since: Feb 10 1,957 |
Judged: 1 1 When has Obama-anything ever lived up to its promise? He is without a doubt a worst of the post WW2 Presidents. His believers have no understanding of reality. He is the American-Idol version of a President. Winner of a popularity contest based on looks and a single talent, in his case being a con-man. |

And again, missing the point. I've also been employed where it went both ways. At one place we could have double coverage and at another my company only covered my wife if she didn't have the option of insurance at her place of work. However, in both of those cases the choice was between my employer and myself. The government had no say it the matter. If my wife and I were willing to pay for double insurance, that was our choice. Or if we decided to cover her under my employer and not hers, or under hers and not mine, again that was my choice. The spouses of the UPS employees (among others) don't have a choice. If the spouse's coverage is less complete but costs more, too bad. Second, the reason for spouses being forced off is because of Obamacare pure and simple. Two years ago those 15,000 employees were able to include their spouses on their insurance and the cost of doing so was reasonable to the insurance company, the employer, and the employee. Now thanks to Obama it is not. Those families can not keep their doctor as Obama promised. |
It has effectively doubled the cost of the insurance for both the husband and spouse or wife and spouse. And not just the cost of premiums, but deductibles, co-insurance, out of pocket, etc. In addition, the deductibles under Obamacare are showing to be one for medical care and the same or higher for mental health. So, while Obamacare "forces" the mental health benefit, it also doubles, and depending on the carrier, it could triple the cost to the employee. AND it does zilch for the uninsured. |
Since: Feb 10 1,957 |
Basically Obamacare is a placebo for the idiots on the left. It makes them feel good without having any real benefit and could make things worse if one believes it is effective and relies on it for real health benefits. |
Most of Obama's promises are veiled - such as his "we'll fundamentally transform America" promise. Many took that as a positive transformation because he packaged it along with promises to clean up Washington, bring bi-partisanship, represent all Americans, help the middle class, etc etc ... but what he was really talking about was the same old progressive agenda we've seen in the past - big government destruction of the free market and attacking capitalism no matter what the cost. In the case of Obamacare, Harry Reid recently made the agenda clear - it's just a stepping stone to Single Payer health care, one of the progressive dreams for ultimate control of citizens. http://www.politicususa.com/2013/08/10/harry-... Of course, Obama must continue to lie about it's real purpose until after the midterm elections. |
Judged: 1 1 1 It's so sad that they don't like anyone to mention his name! |
Judged: 1 1 1 Sure, poll the uninformed....... Go back to your sheep farm down the road....... |

From Gallup: After the same number of days in office % Approve: Reagan 65% Eisenhower 63% Clinton 61% GW Bush 45% Obama 44% Johnson 42% Nixon 36% So the only two with worse approvals than Obama is another Democrat and a known crook. And as Obamacare continues to resemble the Titanic, his approval has no where to go but down. Whether it is from liberals who blame him for not doing enough or conservatives blaming him for doing too much, he's going to have a hard time gaining approval. Truman left office with a 22% approval rating. Nixon left at 24% Carter left at 34% Ford left at 53% So, do you think he'll be able to beat Truman, Carter, and Nixon? |

Third-party motor insurance premiums fixed for new financial year
(Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not of Reuters)
A motor insurance policy consists broadly of two parts — third-party cover, which is regulated; and an 'own damage' cover, the premium for which is left to market dynamics.
The premium for 'own damage' cover, which forms the larger chunk of the insurance premium, is based on risk and competitive pressures.
The third-party cover, which is compulsory, covers the risk for third parties in situations like damage caused to a person who was standing by the road and was injured or killed by an accident involving an insured vehicle, or damage caused to a wall after a vehicle crashed into it. The claim amount in this case can be unlimited and it is a sticky subject.
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) decides the premium that can be charged for different types of motor vehicles using elements like cubic capacity, types of activities being undertaken and tonnage as primary segregating tools.
Another case of insurance regulation – good or bad?
(The views expressed in this column are the author's own and do not represent those of Reuters)
Motor insurance is the only insurance product in India mandated by law. This means that any one owning a vehicle is bound under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 to have a third-party motor insurance policy.

Hello. This is Rebecca Kochenderfer from Homeschool.com.
Now that people are homeschooling so successfully through high school, is the next step homeschooling through college"? My son thinks so. He just finished his freshman year at a prestigious private university and was disappointed with the experience. The classes he wanted to take were full and he felt he wasted a lot of time and money taking classes he wasn't interested in.
Frankly, I think homeschooling has spoiled him. He's now trying to talk his dad and I into letting him homeschool his way through college and this brought up the questions, "Is a college education really worth the time and the money?"
I came across a study today that looks at the median personal incomes by educational attainment.
For people 25 and older (median personal income)–
High school graduate–$32,085
Some College–$39,150
Associates Degree–$42,382
Bachelor's Degree–$52,493
Master's Degree–$67,123
Professional Degree (nursing, lawyer, etc.)–$100,000
So, if you are done with schooling at age 25, and you work for 40 years, you'll earn $1,283,400 over your lifetime, not adjusted for inflation.
If you have your bachelors degree, you'll earn $2,099,720.
If you have your Master's degree, you'll earn $2,684,920.
So, having a college degree makes a huge difference in earning potential in your lifetime. It doubles your earning potential at the very least.
And if having a college degree is so valuable, how can a person create a meaningful, customized college experience for him or herself?
Have you ever heard of anyone who has homeschooled their way through college? If you have, please write about it in the News Forum below and email a copy to me at: email@example.com. I suspect this is the next frontier in homeschooling.
Keep learning all the time!

Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. The Hague, 14 May 1954.
Art. 14. 1. Any High Contracting Party may, by letter addressed to the Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, lodge an objection to the registration of cultural property. This letter must be received by him within four months of the day on which he sent a copy of the application for registration.
2. Such objection shall state the reasons giving rise to it, the only valid grounds being that:
(a) the property is not cultural property;
(b) the property does not comply with the conditions mentioned in Article 8
of the Convention.
3. The Director-General shall send a copy of the letter of objection to the High Contracting Parties without delay. He shall, if necessary, seek the advice of the International Committee on Monuments, Artistic and Historical Sites and Archaeological Excavations and also, if he thinks fit, of any other competent organization or person.
4. The Director-General, or the High Contracting Party requesting registration, may make whatever representations they deem necessary to the High Contracting Parties which lodged the objection, with a view to causing the objection to be withdrawn.
5. If a High Contracting Party which has made an application for registration in time of peace becomes involved in an armed conflict before the entry has been made, the cultural property concerned shall at once be provisionally entered in the Register, by the Director-General, pending the confirmation, withdrawal or cancellation of any objection that may be, or may have been, made.
6. If, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of the letter of objection, the Director-General has not received from the High Contracting Party lodging the objection a communication stating that it has been withdrawn, the High Contracting Party applying for registration may request arbitration in accordance with the procedure in the following paragraph.
7. The request for arbitration shall not be made more than one year after the date of receipt by the Director-General of the letter of objection. Each of the two Parties to the dispute shall appoint an arbitrator. When more than one objection has been lodged against an application for registration, the High Contracting Parties which have lodged the objections shall, by common consent, appoint a single arbitrator. These two arbitrators shall select a chief arbitrator from the international list mentioned in Article I
of the present Regulations. If such arbitrators cannot agree upon their choice, they shall ask the President of the International Court of Justice to appoint a chief arbitrator who need not necessarily be chosen from the international list. The arbitral tribunal thus constituted shall fix its own procedure. There shall be no appeal from its decisions.
8. Each of the High Contracting Parties may declare, whenever a dispute to which it is a Party arises, that it does not wish to apply the arbitration procedure provided for in the preceding paragraph. In such cases, the objection to an application for registration shall be submitted by the Director-General to the High Contracting Parties. The objection will be confirmed only if the High Contracting Parties so decide by a two-third majority of the High Contracting Parties voting. The vote shall be taken by correspondence, unless the Director-General of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization deems it essential to convene a meeting under the powers conferred upon him by Article 27
of the Convention. If the Director-General decides to proceed with the vote by correspondence, he shall invite the High Contracting Parties to transmit their votes by sealed letter within six months from the day on which they were invited to do so.
