More Retirement Stuff
From the comments it seems like there may be a little confusion about some of the basics which is a surprise to me. One reader got very hung up on growth rates, inflation and the like. Another reader left a complicated actuarial question.
My original statement tried to be very concise and blunt; whatever you have, don't spend more than 5%. That's it.
Filling in some detail; this 5% idea pertains to not outliving your money. The idea of having your check to the undertaker bounce is one I don't get. What if you live ten years longer than you plan for?
You can make this as black box as you want but market up 20% this year; don't take more than 5%. Market down 20% this year; don't take more than 5%. In a way this is a big simplification but starting as simple as you can and then building in the details of your life seems logical to me.
Another aspect to this that I believe is potentially crucial is the notion of different income streams; meaning working after you retire. It is possible that you will not be able to work after you retire and a plan that hinders on working in order be successful is risky but those caveats aside some sort of part time work gives you money, gives you purpose and means your portfolio has to do less.
One neighbor of ours is 75 and can have as many hours as he wants doing backhoe work at $60 per hour. His backhoe is his toy so after expenses maybe he makes $40 per hour to play in the dirt on his toy. How many hours at $40 would it take to relieve your portfolio?
If you have crap that people want, eBaying can be a hobby that generates income. Finding the right crap to sell is not that easy I have to say.
Prescott (the city where I live) is two hours from Phoenix so there are a couple of shuttle services to the Phoenix airport. Most of the drivers (the ones we've had) seem to be retirees working two days a week. With wages and tips this could add up to $1000 per month. For someone that needs $4000 per month to live on $1000 is significant.
One more comment came in, as I was writing this post, deriding most web planners for assuming all expenses have to be paid for from your nest egg (never say nest and egg in the same sentence). This is not bad conceptually. It is more of a worst case scenario which I think is more prudent where planning is concerned.
My bottom line take on this is to be overly conservative at every turn and do what you have to to make the numbers work. Spend less, work a little longer, whatever.

In college my math professor used to say you study math with a pencil. Investors need to understand the information printed in many magazines is often recycled and generalized financial information. That is why you need to take the pencil and determine what your expenses are employed vs. retired. Yes living on 70% is possible if you consider you don't pay Social Security taxes, contribute to your 401K when employed, cost of working, i.e., lunch, dry cleaning, clothing, office contributions to retirements, birthdays, baby showers,etc., and gasoline for travel to work.
- James said...
Yes it is important to factor in those cut expenses.
- Rider said...
The other fact is that what you plan to spend in retirement is not all "income." So the idea that you need 70% of your pre-retirement "income" is not exactly accurate. That is, while working you may have to earn $100 in order to have $70 to spend, but when retired, if you take $70 out of your mattress (or savings account), you can spend ALL of it. The taxes are already paid. You only need to draw down $70 in order to have $70 to spend. Consider the tax status of the sources of your spending money.
- NO DooDahs said...
Those with more "mathiness" may want to put maximum withdrawals in terms of after-tax inflation-adjusted long-term expected compounding rates, but for the target audience, who must likely are passive portfolio-theory types, 5% will work OK.
The other key is budgeting. If all someone does to budget their retirement is to cut out expenses they won't have once not working, then they must be planning to sit at home all day during their retirement. Have fun!
Once budget and withdrawals are figured, the equation can be solved for "how much do I need?" At this point, the importance of SAVINGS is paramount.

Your approach to retirement is not far from what CFP Ray Lucia preaches. I use his "buckets" strategy where I have 15-20 years income (I'm conservative) in short and medium term fixed income buckets. My equity portfolio then has between 15 and 20 years to grow. In good years when market is up more than 8%, I skim some off the top of the equities and add to medium term income bucket. I keep expenditures to around 4% of assets each year. Seems like a very good common sense plan (and it is endorsed by Ben Stein, too). - 3:28 PM

What tends to bother me about the underlying issue in the original post - what % of your income will you need at retirement? - is that there seems to be little fact based research to support the opinions offered by the so called experts.
Setting aside lifestyle choices, simple intuition would suggest that there must be a relationship between the level of income at retirement and the % of it needed after retirement. Simply, if you are making $30,000 at retirement it is likely that much of your income is spent on true "necessities." Therefore, a household in this situation will need to replace a very high % of the income upon retirement.
Compare this to an household earning $250,000 at retirement. Perhaps individuals in this situation have more expensive "necessities" but it is not likely that all of the income would have to be replaced to live well in retirement.
The point simply is that 70% for the $250K household might be "enough" where 70% for the 30K household likely is not. - 4:36 PM
- Roger Nusbaum said...
to 4:36, you make good point about the potential that individual circumstances shape the plan which is of course a given.
As far as fact based; what facts? The outcome of any plan is very dependent on future outcomes that are not knowable.
Further I am suggesting that people don't think in terms of % of income but instead think of expenses and whether those will or will not change.
Regardless of how much you need the odds of running out of money greatly increase when you go above a 5% annual withdrawal.
The person needing to take out $40,000 with only $600,000 in assets is in a bad situation. - 5:26 PM
- T said...
I was very impressed by the work of John Barber and Dan Laimon on this topic. They published a piece entitled MANDATING THE PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS: A NEW APPROACH TO RETIREMENT PLANNING in the "Journal of Retirement Planning" (Nov-Dec 2006). I recommend this without hesitation as Step One of a successful retirement plan.

Reminds me of a comment John Kenneth Galbraith made in addressing a crowd of upper middle class, upwardly mobile types: "You will belong to that minority which, according to current Washington doctrine, must be protected in its affluence lest its energy and initiative be impaired. Your position will be in contrast to that of the poor, to whom money, especially if it is from public sources, is held to be deeply damaging."
He made that comment nearly two decades ago but it remains so true, so true; makes one ponder, eh? - 3:56 PM

When the Bourbon monarchy was restored in France after the defeat of Napoleon, Talleyrand is supposed to have said "They have learned nothing and forgotten nothing."

Frankly it probably doesn't mayyer which party is in office. We get screwed either way.

6 of us visited Rubira's last night for a special birthday celebration. The food was amazing, best flounder ever! Service was great and John Rubira is simply a wonderful host. If you like seafood, this is the best place to eat. Will be back again soon! 04/04/2013
I have been here 5 times and just made another reservation for my birthday next week. The meals are amazing and as I'm not usually one who loves seafood the scampi was amazing! I've also had the steak here before and everything on my plate was amazing. This place is great, it's small and everything feels private inside, it's not over done and definitely not over priced with the meals you receive and eat! a must.. 07/05/2012
Magnificent seafood, best in town. Great service, sensational food and great atmosphere. Highly recommended. 22/12/2011
We ate at Rubira's about 2 weeks ago and was so impressed that we are back there again next week and taking a party of people with us. The food is simple,clean and fresh. Service is fantastic. Sperry Gruppetta 26/08/2010

Snoqualmie Nordic Center
View complete destination details
View activity report
Seattle Skiing/Snowboarding
Christopher Ensor
Preston P&R
This trip will combine a skate clinic in the morning for more experienced classic skiers wishing to try out skating on the lower trails at the Summit Nordic Center taught by the trip leader (a PSIA Level 1 Track Instructor). We will have our brown bag lunch or you can buy a meal in the lodge. Then in the afternoon we will explore some of the upper trails with classic or skate skis. This trip is classified a N3 and depending which trails we agree to take may include riding the Silver Fir chairlift to the top and skiing down. The skiing for this can involve some quite steep sections.
The route selected will depend of the aptitude of the skiers, snow and weather conditions and remaining time available prior to our estimated 3:30 to 4 pm finish.
This is not a trip for new skiers wishing to learn to skate who have not mastered classic skiing. The afternoon trip will give participants the option to continue to skate or return to classic equipment if you have brought this with you.
Fees and Rentals: If you do not have a season pass at the Summit, this trip will involve buying a Summit Nordic trail day pass for $19 ($2 reduction for seniors 62 years and over and free for 70 and above). The trip also required the renting of skate skis, boots and poles if you do not have these or can loan them for your size from a friend of family member. Classic boots normally will not fit the skate bindings and the poles need to be longer. The rental package at the Summit Nordic Center is $28 for the day and some senior discounts are available: visit:
Skate equipment rentals are also available from REI Seattle and Redmond branches only. The cost is $30 for REI members for 3 days (1 to pick up, 1 to ski and 1 to return) and $60 plus deposit of $200 for non members.

Diversity: I like the fact that they believe in the Bible and what it teaches.
Diversity: Different Christian Perspectives – As a private Christian university, there are a lot of students that hold strong religious views. As a Christian, I believe that this a great aspect to have in a small Christian university, but as part of the student body, we have a problem with welcoming those who are not Christian. Being located directly next to the University of Oregon, we are open to seeing the effects of college partying and things that would seem "immoral" to the Christian eye. As a student at this institution, I think it is important that we become more open to the community around us as opposed to viewing ourselves as "better" people, when in reality we're just as bad for judging them.
Diversity: Northwest Christian University has a majority of Caucasian students. There is a very limited amount of different races. This is an extremley small school and our diversity is limited. It would be nice to have more of a variety when it comes to races and backgrounds, however, this is difficult to obtain considering the location of our school and the size of our school.

Book Description:Addison Carter was hired by Magnolia Oil to work as their company doctor in Healdton, Oklahoma. In 1917, oil companies didn't hire women to work for them, so that alone was quite a miracle. At least it was until she arrived from eastern Arkansas with an ego the size of Texas and dreams twice as large, only to have them all shredded to pieces in ten minutes when the directors of the oil company informed her they thought she was a male with a name like Addison. She was sitting on the bench outside the drugstore waiting for her ride to take her back to Ardmore to catch the train back to Arkansas when Tilly Anderson sat down beside her. In less than an hour, Addison found herself at the Evening Star ranch setting Tucker Anderson's, Tilly's cantankerous cousin, broken leg and suturing the gash in his hand. Just as suddenly, she was offered the job of caring for him until he healed. Anything beat going back to Arkansas with her deflated ego and shattered dreams so she took on the job. Tucker had his ideas about women. They should live to serve and obey the male species and, rather than endure a lifetime with one like either of his girl cousins, Tilly and Clara, he'd be a bachelor until he reached the Pearly Gates of Heaven. Then he broke his leg and the two cousins hired a female doctor to take care of him. He figured he'd died and gone straight to hell.

General Details

Style, grace, strength and softness flow through the exterior & interior of this amazing yacht.
Estimated build time - 30 months.
Construction available to begin immediately.
- Mondo Marine M50 Hot Lab
- Mondo Marine is proud to present a preview of the M50 project, a collaboration with the Milan-based HOT LAB Yacht & Design studio. The M50 will feature three decks and a spacious sundeck. THE INNOVATIVE LOOK of the new semi-displacement yacht draws on elements of Mondo Marine's traditional styling heritage, adding innovative design solutions that give the yacht's profile a flowing, linear appeal. HER MOST EYE-CATCHING feature is the steep rake of the stern, which generates a forward visual thrust for the superstructure and creates a play of open and filled spaces, allowing natural light to bathe the main deck interiors. THE FULL-HEIGHT WINDOWS running most of the length of the main deck create exciting, light-filled interior spaces that allow a constant dialogue with the exterior. ACCESS TO THE YACHT is along the central walkway separating the two large sunpads - this leads to the aft cockpit, which offers a large sun area and lounge with spacious sofas evoking the generous spaces typical of an open design. THE FOLD-DOWN BEACH AREA is uniquely large for a vessel of this weight. It conceals the access stairway and forms a striking yet warmly welcoming area. This stylistic solution creates an extended visual sweep that acts as a conceptual reflection of the classic external lines. Automobile-style details that are a typical feature of Hot Lab's work include the design of the aft fairleads. The vessel's starboard garage hosts a large tender. LIKE ALL THE YARD'S MORE RECENT YACHTS, structural, hydrodynamic and technical design for this 50-metre semi-displacement vessel was handled by Mondo Marine Engineering.

I meet a lot of moms, and a lot of moms who say, "I just don't have time to Scrapbook anymore!" Well due to necessity and utter desire to finish my scrapbooking projects, I have come up with several ways to fine the time to scrapbook.
1.) Lay out pages. When you do have a larger block of time to work on your projects, do some prep work. Divide your pictures into what you think will be pages. Pick out the paper, stickers, or any other embellishments you want to use on that page. You can even crop the pictures and mat them at this point. Do as many of these "pre-pages" as you can. When your time is up, stack them up and put them in craft folders. (A clean pizza box works pretty well for short term storage. Next time you go by the pizza place stop in and ask for one... they might not even charge you for it.)
2.) Crop your pictures in the car. When my family drives to the lake, I usually take a stack of pictures that I need to crop and a small paper trimmer with me. As we drive I crop pictures. I put all the little paper scraps in a small plastic bag. You could also do this as you are waiting in the drop off line at school.
3.) Take it with you when you travel. I frequently travel for work and I just hate wasting time. When I am on travel I think of the millions of things I could be doing at home. My friend suggested I take my scrapbooking with me. So I did. I have a small tools bag that I take with me (sometimes packed and sometimes carried on) leaving the scissors in the luggage of course. I take my PowerLayouts box (a Creative Memories product) which is much like a pizza box, but made of hard plastic which is full of my prepped page layouts. I get tons of pages done in the hotel room at night.
4.) Go digital. I have really started moving along on my products since I have added digital tools to my scrapbooking. I take my laptop almost everywhere with me. So if I have a spare moment or two, I can pull up my scrapbooking program and work on some pages.
Just a mom always looking to improve life for me and my family with a desire to help others do the same. If you liked this article, please visit me at http://OnTheGoMommy.blogspot.com/

Moomin Tattoos
You must really love Moomins to get a tattoo of them. Some people have multiple ones! I personally don't have any yet, but I've been planning what I want for a very long time. Whether you're planning one yourself or you just appreciate other people's, I'm sure you will enjoy this post! I will try to credit people but if I have missed you out then please let me know.
Found on moomin-man. The next six tattoos are all by David, and I'm lucky enough to be really good friends with him. They look amazing in real life!
The same tattoo but shaded.
I loove this so much!
I adore this but I don't know who's it is.

So now the primary question is how will you make that church
website stay ahead of the crowd. This will also help the web
designer to understand your requirements in a better way and design a website which meets your expectations.
If you are a sole trader or a new start up then money is likely to be tight but
it is still possible to have a great looking website. -

I emailed support the other day, but I'm posting this here just to see if anyone else is having the same problem. I'm a monthly member and I get billed every month on the 9th. Looking at my CC statement, I was charged for this month's membership, but the site does not see me as a premium member. I'm not flipping out about it, switching to the new site has been completely painless for me other than with this specific thing. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Is there perhaps a work around to fix it myself (delete cookies/system32)? Also, looking at my avatar, do you see this silver dealie? I don't :( but I should :(

That really sucks. It does some times take awhile to hear back from them and some times they get right back to you instantly. I guess it's all about how busy they are.

richardphist (07/18/2013) [-] I was 7 or 8 at the time when I was playing the **** out of this game, and apparently 7 or 8 year old me was amazing at this game, I have no memories of any difficulty with this game. This was also the child that tanked though Pokemon Yellow with nothing but a Butterfree the whole game and proceeded to beat the ever living **** out of the Elite Four so many times the Butterfree got to Lvl. 100 and I had well over a million dollars to my name in that game.

Tiger Woods speaks as Masters week kicks off
Returning star set to hold his first press conference since news of his marital scandal broke
Topics: News
Tiger Woods got a big hug from an old friend, along with some encouraging words for his return to competition at the Masters.
"This is the place where you belong," Mark O'Meara said he told Woods as they walked down the 10th fairway on the final day of practice before the gates to Augusta National Open. "This is what you love to do."
First comes a chore that Woods never enjoyed even in the best of times.
Woods faces the media at 2 p.m. Monday for the first time since the public learned of his sordid private life. His press conference at the Masters is getting so much attention that Augusta National has asked media outlets for only one reporter to make sure every organization has a chance to fill the 207 seats in the press center.
Ever since he ran over a fire hydrant and into a tree in the early hours of Nov. 27 — that infamous car accident that sparked incredible revelations of rampant affairs — Woods has kept public comments to a minimum.
He issued two statements on his Web site about his infidelity. He spoke for 13 1/2 minutes to a small group of family and friends on Feb. 19 at PGA Tour headquarters. He announced he was returning to golf. And he gave a pair of five-minute interviews to TV networks.
This press conference, however, comes with no restrictions.
He won't be reading a script into a camera. He is facing a room full of reporters, who are not limited by time.
It was Augusta National that requested Woods speak on a Monday afternoon to avoid stealing the show from so many other Masters contenders who are to have press conferences on Tuesday.
A Masters official made it clear that Woods isn't running this show, however long it lasts.
"There's always going to be questions," O'Meara said. "But he's made a statement about what he's done. He's admitted his guilt, and now it's time for him to make things right. He'll figure it out. He's pretty tough."
Woods has run into a few players during the last month of practice at home in Florida. Brian Gay was among those who saw him at Augusta National last week when Woods was preparing for the Masters, although Gay didn't approach him.
Woods dipped his toes in the water Sunday afternoon, a lazy day of practice when only club members, employees and media are allowed inside the gates, and only players and their caddies are allowed on the course.

In the entire history of the United States there have been 183 identified serial killers and 25 unidentified. Meanwhile, the Criminal Minds team has managed to identify and/or catch more than 150 of them in just seven years. This is terrifying; if this trend continues, there will be several thousand psychokillers qu'est-ce que c'est-ing around, hanging, stabbing, torturing, and enslaving us in the coming decades. On the plus side, TV serial killers tend to be a lot better looking than their real-life counterparts; I'd rather be abducted by James Van Der Beek or Eddie Cibrian than John Wayne Gacy, even if Eddie was cutting [...]
We have done our best to be patient under an evil which we hoped would be short-lived. We have had no comfort in social meetings, because no dinner table and no ballroom, no box or stall at the theatres, no carriage, and no boat, could accommodate both our families and ourselves. We have found it difficult and disagreeable to walk with our wives and daughters on pavements, and in lanes and country footpaths, made for people more naturally dressed.
We have seen the choicest flowers in our gardens, and the most cherished plants in our greenhouses cut off by the hoop… and have lost all our pleasure on board [...]

What's wrong with us? Who would watch the news and hear "the foot was delivered to Conservative Party headquarters, and a hand was addressed to Liberal Party headquarters," and wonder, with a frisson of anticipation, if any damp packages are currently being signed for at the NDP offices? Everyone? Most people? A few? One?

There is nothing quite so wonderful as fake murder. Now, I will admit to a certain tenacious fondness for [books about] actual murder as well, but it seemed…inappropriate to combine the two genres into a single reading list. TONE, right? Happily, none of these deaths are real. Well, except for the one inspired by an 1893 murder. And the one based on the life of Grace Marks. And the one which is kind of obviously about Andrei Chikatilo.
Come to think of it, Anne Perry is actually a murderess. And, to be entirely accurate, the Princes in the Tower are certainly dead by now, either way.

Across the nation, South Africans mourned, and some called for their current leaders to follow more in his footsteps.

broelman-dec-11.jpg 91 Global Scan Mandela brings people together, even in death December 10, 2013 World leaders and regular people gathered Tuesday in South Africa to honor Nelson Mandela — a man who was labelled a terrorist by the US until 8 years ago, a friend of China and Cuba, and now a symbol of hope and reconciliation for millions. We also look at Saudi Arabia's interest in its own human genome project, one of the most extreme zipline rides in the world, and a video game where the villian is alcoholism. All that and more, in today's Global Scan.

It's part of the legacy of apartheid that hasn't changed. But Nelson Mandela's death has brought new life and integration to the center of the city — at least for now.

Probably just you.
I've always thought it would be cool to go into an old fashioned barber shop and get a straight razor shave - hot towels and all.
But I wouldn't do it myself. I'd be afraid of cutting my face off.
There's been a shaving thread before.
But I'm curious if any men here shave using a straight razor?
I've always found safety razors to be irritable, especially if I use them every day.
While I was in high school, I thought it would be cool to shave with a straight razor.
For years, I talked about getting one.
Then finally in college, two friends got me a razor.
It took a while to get used to. I sliced myself up a bit the first few times. And because it was a cheaper razor, it wasn't good for holding an edge.
But I used it for about a year and really liked it.
I could shave every day and not have irritation. Plus, it was neat because you kind of feel like you are sculpting your face.
Well, when I moved from college, I had my razor packed away, and then never got it back out.
Then recently, I told my parents that if they really wanted to get me a gift (they always hound me for gift ideas on birthdays and holidays), they could get me a good straight razor.
So, what arrived today?
A nice straight razor.
And I immediately put it to use.
I love this thing.
Great edge, fun to shave with.
Nicked myself in one place... gotta get my practice in.
And I've never been able to get quite as close as I can with a safety razor.
But I love shaving this way a lot more than with a safety razor.
Anyone else use a straight razor?
I can't be the only one.
Probably just you.
I've always thought it would be cool to go into an old fashioned barber shop and get a straight razor shave - hot towels and all.

I use a cheap motorised "Braun 370" shaver.
No way am I gonna take a razor to my face! I'd cut myself immensely!
And I'm allergic to pain and terror.
I'm gonna get one of the razors with like 8 blades.
I have a straight razor, but use it about once every two months. It's usually less a bother to shave with a Gilette. Straight razor is much cooler, though.
I'd like to get a straight razor and learn to cut with it, but I'd lose too much blood, and I've seen "Un Chien Andalou" too many times.
But, when I get my hair cut, I go to a shop that's been open for years, passed down to the sons of the old men that used to run it. And they use a straight razor to trim around the edges after they're done cutting and it's my favorite part. The hot foam etc... VERY relaxing.
"I won Dungeons and Dragons! And it was advanced!!" -Pierce Hawthorne-
I use a 4 blade safety razor and am fine with it.
I hate electric razors.
And, I can just see me trying to use a straight razor. See those smiley's? That's what I'd look like when I was done. Good ol' Bonehead himself.
Val, you are a braver man than I.

Everytime I see a straight razor I think of the scene from The Color Purple. Plus I too would be scared of cutting my own throat. Why can't they come up with something that can remove the hair, but not burn or cut the skin? Anyone else have problems where you just can seem to get a area when shaving? You always have a little spot of hairs that just won't get cut?

my husband's barber uses a straight razor, and now he'd love to have one to use at home, but to be honest, i don't know the first thing about them, and wouldn't know where to buy him one. i'd love to surprise him for his birthday, or our anniversary or something, because i know he'd never buy it for himself... any suggestions for me would be appreciated!

I've always wanted to get a straight razor shave from a barber shop or something like that. We have a salon here that offers it, but at $65 I think I'd rather just pull out the ol' Mach 5 and go to work.

That happens to me sometimes. It's like no matter how many times a push the razor across it, the spot of hair just won't cut and go away. It's a pain in the arse!Originally Posted by Marvelous0ne

I cannot recommend the Gilette Fusion enough (the powered one). I use to use the Mach 3 but thought I would try the Fusion. When you hear the grossingly crunch of all that hair being wiped out at once, you'll know it's a darn good razor. I, of course, only shave after a hot shower and use one of those heaters to warm up the shaving cream. Excellent and very close shave.

I use the Mach 3 everyday, and it ends up doing okay. Never really gave me a close shave unless the razor was brand new. I might try the fusion and the heated shaving cream thing. I always shave right after a shower too. Opens up the pores... I learned that from Queer Eye!
I have an electric razor my self that I use. I also have a beard trimmer that does most of the work when the facial hair is in thick.
I used a normal bic a couple times, which was ok. I liked how close it got to the skin, but the first couple times, knicked myself.
Val, you're a brave man. Right before I got married I paid to have a shave like this from a barber. It was the best one I have ever had. SO close an smooth.
I'm too scared to actually do this myself. I'd probably cut myself too many times to count.

I'd like to try an electric shaver.
I'm just scared to death of ingrowns.
"lift and cut" sounds more like "ingrown infection" to me.
That's why I don't shave against the grain.
I did it ONCE and that was a huuuuuuuge mistake.
I had once tried that route using an electric razor. I hated it. I was having a very bad problem with ingrown hairs on my face and neck. I went with the safety razor like the Schick Quattro. Since I am required by company standards to shave everyday, I haven't had any problems. I can't see myself with a staight razor. I don't have the confidence to get the results as close to a barber shop quality shave.Originally Posted by JVS3

Let's play the Super Bowl Blame Game today.
Who should we nail for the fact South Florida not only got dissed again in its bid to host the 2018 Super Bowl? Chances are the area won't get another Super Bowl until Scott Rothstein gets out of prison.
Well, you could blame the Florida Legislature. Remember, they wouldn't even let the stadium renovation issue get to a vote. Obviously they were too busy making sure everybody could buy an assault weapon.
You could blame Dolphins owner Stephen Ross for not picking up the entire tab himself for renovating Sun Life Stadium. It's not as if the billionaire is saving nickels.
You could blame the National Football League, which has raised extortion to new levels. You want a Super Bowl? Fine. Spend millions renovating your stadium, or have taxpayers build a new one. This is the same NFL, of course, that whined about some fans getting rained on when the Super Bowl was held here in 2007 — and then turned around and awarded the 2014 Super Bowl to New York. In the dead of winter. Bring your ear muffs.
You could blame all of those, but I'll go another route.
I blame the Super Bowl itself, for getting so big — and so far out of reach of the common fan — that it is hard for a community to get behind a game that nobody except the super-rich will see.
Seriously, have you heard any South Floridians complaining about not getting the Super Bowl in 2018? I haven't.
That's because the average person is not affected when the Super Bowl comes to town. They certainly won't get to see it in person, not with the top ticket in 2014 going for $2,600. I am not making that up.
The Super Bowl is a corporate event for big shots and celebrities and out-of-towners who don't care who wins but just want to be seen. The ultimate 2-percenter event.
Cities put on elaborate, multi-zillion dollar bid presentations, for the privilege of bringing a game to their city that is just for the elite of the elite. So it's very hard to get a community as a whole behind a Super Bowl effort, and put pressure on politicians to get it. Particularly when it can involve tax dollars.
Yes, I was in favor of the public-private financing effort to renovate Sun Life Stadium, because it would have brought jobs. And it's a neat prestige thing.
As far as the financial gain, that is always wildly exaggerated. Hotels and restaurants are filled here in January and February, whether we have a Super Bowl or not. The numbers you hear — "The community will see an additional $400 million" — are straight out of the Brothers Grimm.
The fact is, the Super Bowl is so big the community at large can't relate or get passionate about it.
My favorite Super Bowl memory, in fact, comes from the pre-Super Bowl days. I went to what was then called the NFL Championship Game with my brother in 1963, when the New York Giants played the Chicago Bears in Wrigley Field. It was about 10 degrees, I paid about $8 or $10 face value for a ticket, the city of Chicago went nuts, and I'll remember that forever.
That's a far cry from today's Super Bowls, played in sterile neutral sites in close to perfect weather in front of wine-sippers. Most of the real fun is at Super Bowl parties in your home, where nobody cares if the game is played in Miami or Alaska.
We don't need the Super Bowl to be world class. South Florida is already there.
And the community will get along just fine if the NFL wants to take its game somewhere else.

This ornate four-story building looks more like a modern day urban castle than a burial vault. Some of San Francisco finest families or rather their ashes, are housed inside, including the Turks and the Eddys. In addition, The Columbarium features a collection of unusual urns and caskets, including the infamous cookie jar urn. The marble-lined space with lovely stained glass windows also has remarkable acoustics, making the concerts performed here on a regular basis a real treat. The Neptune Society Columbarium is owned and operated by the Neptune Society of Nothern California.

RTN True North H. Recap
Zayat Stables' 5-year-old Fast Bullet might be lightly raced, but he embodies consistency and speed. His 21/2-length gate-to-wire victory in the RTN True North Handicap (gr. II) on the Belmont Stakes (gr. I) undercard was his fourth win in five career starts and first stakes victory. The handsome chestnut's only loss came in his third start, the 2012 Xpressbet Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I), in which he finished sixth of 14. The Breeders' Cup Sprint was his first race back after a year layoff. Trained by Bob Baffert and ridden by Joel Rosario, Fast Bullet sped the six furlongs over a good track in a high-caliber performance: 1:08.27, worthy of a 110 Beyer Speed Figure.
Fast Bullet was genetically designed for speed. He is a son of a champion sprinter and the maternal grandson of a multiple European champion Horse of the Year, whose résumé includes sprint titles in England and France. His maternal grandmother was Brave Raj, an Eclipse Award winner as champion 2-year-old filly of 1986.
Speightstown, sire of Fast Bullet and a son of Gone West out of the Storm Cat mare Silken Cat, improved with age. He earned his Eclipse Award as champion sprinter as a 6-year-old in 2004, by racking up five wins in six starts, all at six and seven furlongs, and culminating with a decisive victory in the Breeders' Cup Sprint. Like their sire, the offspring of Speightstown seem to have their best successes as they get older. Eleven of Speightstown's 20 stakes winners in 2012 were 4-year-olds and older.
On the female side of Fast Bullet's pedigree is his broodmare sire Dayjur. The regally-bred son of Danzig out of the Mr. Prospector mare Gold Beauty terrorized the sprinters in Europe in 1990, winning group Is in England and France before bringing his speed to the U.S. His bid for international domination of sprint titles fell a jump shy, literally, as he leaped a shadow in the Belmont stretch and fell a neck short of overhauling Safely Kept in the Breeders' Cup Sprint.
A $230,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase, Fast Bullet was bred by Roy Gottlieb in Kentucky. The cross of Dayjur mares with sons of Gone West has been quite useful, having produced nine black-type winners from 54 starters for a 16.6% success rate.
Speightstown has sired 45 stakes winners, including seven additional added-money winners in 2013. He stands at WinStar Farm for a 2013 fee of $60,000.—T.H

This week you're getting a seriously in-depth and exclusive look behind-the-scenes of my fall presentation in NYC -- the scariest, yet most exciting, thing I've ever done in my life. I was so nervous about showing my collection for the first time, I mean, this has been my baby for the last year! Oh, and on top of planning this show -- I have a photo shoot for Women's Wear Daily -- seriously mah-jor!
So, basically the whole team is in New York for three days, and Day 1 is totally freezing. We are on set of the WWD shoot with two insanely gorgeous models shooting a fashion week spread of my fall collection -- talk about jumping in head first! This is totally crazy since this photo shoot is the first time anyone has seen my collection.
Day 2 is presentation day -- easily the scariest day of my life. I've literally never been so nervous about anything! I'm completely terrified hoping people will come, and if they do, will they like it? Thankfully, there was an incredible turn out -- at the end of the day I was surrounded by my friends, my family, my stellar team, and some of my most esteemed industry colleagues. It was perfect! I am so humbled by the positive response, everyone seemed to love the presentation, Women's Wear Daily gave us a great review and my spread got the cover -- no words!
Amazing work you are doing with Roger at your side..he is your biggest fan..There was a black dress with puffy sleeves you wore last season thats to die for...please do you sell it? I am 5 ft 0 and I so want to wear that dress..you looked phenominal...Listen you have a great life, just remember the love of the people around you and that baby!! I adore you too!
Rachel....I definitely relate to your style with fashion. I have always made clothes work for me...which means making adjustments for wearing it differently then it was meant for. So when you talk about that, I just smile and say, "Yup, thats what you have to do...make it your own." Thanks for being so fun to watch!
Love your show, your energy, your clothes line and you. You live a life that fascinates me because its glamorous and so different from my life as a teacher. Thank you for sharing your exciting world with us.
I can't watch your show. I love Bravo but after 5min I have OD on shallow human being. I do like the artistic nature of fashion and I had a little annoyance bias about you. Your line is impressive. Very impressive. As easy as it is to not like you it is that hard to ignore your line is good. The Jlo trench dress fit her better than anything she has ever worn. You are Uber talented Now get a SUPER nanny for awesome little guy!
Your line is BAHNANAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!! Most of your line has already sold out at NM...ughhhhhhhhh.... When will we get them back????
Rachel, your line is unbelievable. I have been to the stores to see, and pick. I also got a few pieces online. I have to tell you that your hard work has paid off, and it's so luxurious. I feel like you styled them for me! You rock, and now I can too!
Rachel, love your collection and congrats! Is it just me or is Mandana (sp), Taylor's doppelganger? (And that's meant in the kindest way) Seriously, color her hair platinum and bam...hello Taylor! Even the mannerisms...spooky! Maybe you should check to see if it truly is Taylor under that dark hair!!! She's back but disguised!!!
Rachel - I have watched your show since you started, and just wanted to say that seeing your new line tonight was soooo awesome!!! Even though I will probably never be able to wear them (wouldn't do them justice), I did want to say they were all beautiful, sophisticated and extremely RZ!!! Luv'd them!!! Totally gorgeous! Congratulations on all your success with fashion and with family! Good luck in the future with baby, Rodger and RZ Inc! You deserve it, now if only you can learn to stop, take a breath, and enjoy each and every moment!!! Can't wait till next episode! lori in md, p.s. if you and Rodger ( and your team) ever want a place to get away from it all (even for a weekend/week/month, etc.) please come visit us in the little town (only have 1 blinking yellow light (turns red when the firetrucks or ambulance have to go out) and lots of vintage clothing here - come to St. Michaels MD. :)

As far as Garnder goes I am not sold on him as an NFL Wr by any means. He has shown some flashes but he has not shown the hands needed to be a good NFL WR. He has dropped too many catchable balls this year.
I don't know why everyone just wants to give the starting QB job to Bellomy. I seriously hope the coaches are not thinking the same thing. I would much prefer a serious competition and the starter is whoever wins the job in the Spring.

I don't see any way to RS Morris. Bellomy will get the starter reps in spring and leading into next season. Gardner will not have had even No. 2 qb reps for well over a year by the time the season starts as he is and will be primarily a wr. Got to have three playable qbs on the depth chart. No way a season can be put at risk by a walk on if there is an injury so that puts Morris on the active roster. It will sort itself out though. Maybe one of the walk ons will turn out to be a stud, but it is unlikely.

I say you start Bellomy with Shane as the backup. And you do everything in your power to keep Bellomy healthy so ideally he plays every snap and Shane can RS.
I love Shane and think he will be a beast, but I just don't like the thought of starting a true freshman at QB. It limits us too much in the playbook IMO, and we would be better off with Bellomy or Gardner (IMO Bellomy wins that comp) bridging the gap.

Windows shuts down my computer unexpectedly. No warning. No shut down routine. It's on, then it's off. Could be in an hour, could be in ten hours. When I restart, it goes through a normal boot up...no "shut down improperly" routine at all. If I was on IE, it does say that internet session was unexpectedly shut down, would I like to go to homepage or previously viewed last page.
The computer will not get through a Full Windows Malicious Software scan without shutting down as above, nor will it get through a Norton Full system scan.

I was excited to know that the latest Windows 8.1 update is free when running Windows 8. But also gets frustrated because since the release of this update, I was not really able to install it. I can download it fine and then when the Applying Changes screen is up, it will send an Error 0x80070057 and then the installation cannot proceed. I've seen a lot of bugs from this update from other users, and I am not really sure if Microsoft already release a fix for all those issues. Can anyone here help me?

Come to the Rescue or Let 'Em Squirm? Your Call! The Value of Leadership Intervention by Dawn Lennon - Jul, 2010 Ever been in a tight spot at work? Over your head? Out of your league? I sure have. Terrible thoughts start to take over: • I've lost all credibility. • My career is toast. • I'm going to hear about this. • This is my last shot. If we could yell, "HELP!" we would. But would anyone throw us a rope? "Hey, Boss, I'm over here." If we're lucky, we work around leaders who are willing to step forward when we're in... |
Effective Resume Creativity by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 Knowing what I do for a living, friends sometimes call me when they see particularly outstanding resumes—good or bad. This week I got a call from a friend who's a hiring manager at a technology company. He received a resume that was so creative that they decided to interview the candidate immediately. This candidate had packaged her resume in a box about the size of a cookie container. The front of the box showed her nam... |
I've Got a LinkedIn Profile - Now What? by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 If you're currently searching for a job, Linkedin offers a free and easy way to create a presence for yourself online.

Presenting a Consistent Image During Your Job Search by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 There's an old adage in communication: "Tell the audience what you're going to tell them, then tell them, and then tell them what you told them."

While saying something five times may seem redundant to you, you can be sure that it will stick in the mind of your listener. The Preview: Your R... |

While the presentation focused on helping everyone work well together, I couldn't help but think about the ramifications of wha... |
The Best Time to Write a Resume by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 Imagine for a moment that you've just heard the dreaded words, "We're going to have to let you go." A lot of people have heard this phrase over the last several years, and most have probably reacted with some degree of panic: How am I going to pay my bills? Where am I going to go? What am I going to do? Obviously, this frame of mind is not a great launching point for your next job. Writing an effective resume and cover... |
Thinking Like a Recruiter by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 People often ask me why anyone would seek professional help with writing his or her resume. The great part about resume writing is that I often work with educated professionals who have years of great experience.

Generally, they're too busy being a great nurse, project manager, executive, or whatever else to un... |
Using Networking Groups to Your Advantage by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 I know what you're thinking: walking into a room full of strangers and announcing that you're unemployed is as far from your comfort zone as you can get. Networking is awkward and makes you feel desperate. Do you really have to do it? The answer is no. Some people do find work without assertively networking. It just generally takes them a lot longer than those who are out actively saying, "I have a lot to offer and I ne... |
What To Do About An Employment Gap by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 Historically, having a significant gap in your professional employment has been seen as a huge negative on a resume. However, given that a May Gallup poll showed that 19% of the American population is underemployed (either not working or working part-time instead of full-time), there are many, many job seekers out there wondering how to handle this resume issue. The good news is that there are ways to present gaps in employm... |
Why I Won't Be Reading Your Cover Letter by Jessica Holbrook Hernandez - Jul, 2010 We recently had an open position we were trying to fill and I was amazed—or should I say appalled—at the blanket responses we received from job seekers.

In early August crowds descended on The Castle Climbing Centre for the annual Garden Party. This year a big show was put on which featured a dramatic highline strung between the two tallest towers, the ever popular dyno comp and a 'have-a-go' slackline as well as a free BBQ and DJ's providing the entertainment. The garden was the perfect setting for a summer party, shown off in all its summer glory, highlighting the Castle's continual hard work in creating a fully environmentally sustainable business. The sun shone, the beer flowed and everyone joined in to make it the best party so far. Thank you to all the customers who came and showed their support. A big thanks to Ed Ratcliffe (of Slender Films) for the film, Ben Grubb for grabbing some additional footage and Fred Woodward Gentle for being an awesome assistant (to Ed).
