I visited this out of the way liquor store to pick up some Westy 12 and 8. The selection is decent, about 5 refrigerator cases of beer. They indeed had the Westy 12 for $8.99 and the Westy 8 for $6.99 but these bottles had labels on them for California resale, unlike the bottles that comes from the brewery without the label. Most of the bottles were kept refrigerated. There were some Westy 8s and Rochfort 8s out of a fridge on display. Aside from their selection of Westys and Rochforts, there's nothing really special about their selection. Standard stuff for any Bay Area beer shop.
The service was OK but not great. One young kid asked us if we needed help finding anything but I had already found what I had come for. When I asked the cashier, an older man, if they get any Westy Blone in he gave me a short and pat answer that was kind of rude. I don't think he was the beer expert their since he kept asking another guy the prices on each brew.
All in all, this place serves its purpose selling Westy, but without that I probably would never visit again.

Monument in Concord's "sister store." While Monument has an amazing and huge selection of beer, this store has an "adequate" selection. This store focuses much more on wine and spirits that Monument. No one approached me at all to even ask if I needed help which was a bit strange to me. Beers are nicely displayed and primarily in coolers (unlike Monument which does have coolers but has a huge selection on the floor, as well). This is not one to drive out of your way for. Decent selection but nothing special.

I have been (until now) a longtime, loyal customer of this store. Today I was told by an employee that he was reprimanded by the owner for carrying a bag of 4 bottles (a party order) to my car for me, because it wasn't a case. I am 58 and have severe rheumatoid arthritis - I can barely carry a purse. My mother, who was with me, is 84 but more capable physically than I am.I spoke very highly of Jackson's to her - and now I feel like an idiot. From now on, I will take my business ANYWHERE BUT JACKSON'S.

Jackson Wines is a great liquor store in Lafayette, CA. They definitely concentrate on wines but have an excellent spirit selection also. I wouldnt say their beer selection is lacking by any means, but it is also not at the level of their sister store (Monument). Though much much more organized that the other for sure. I found a couple of bottles of Vertical Epic 07 the last time I was there (several months ago, but still 2011!!). They recommended some great champagne for my wife's Mimosas which I ended up buying. Super clean, great city also to spend a few hours in.

I just found this place, hard to believe cause I live near it. There beer selection is great and they always have my two favorite breweries special releases. I had a hard time finding Lagunitas' Little Sumpin' Sumpin' ale recently and they had a ton of it and it was cheaper then another place the I ended up finding it. Best of all the carry Russian River brewing's Pliny the Elder which if you haven't tried it and like double IPAs it's a must try brew. Servicemis great, selection is great and the prices are very reasonable.

I could have sworn I reviewed this place some months back. Apparently it is gone so I'll try this again. Jackson's is a nice liquor store located in the heart of downtown Lafayette. It is located in a big strip mall and has ample parking. This is a sister store to Monument Wine in Concord, although this location has more wine than beer. I actually found out about Monument from an the employees at this store. I bought most of my RR 'tion beers here for a long time.
The beer is located in a few coolers in the back part of the store. The coolers are a mix of macros and micros. They have a small selection compared to Monument, but you can always find something good. They always have a few good ones from the predominant West Coast breweries. Expect to find Russian River; Marin; Moylans; Alaskan; Port/Lost Abbey; Stone; and a decent selection of Belgians. Prices are usually very good.
I can't speak to the beer knowledge of the employees, but the guys that work there are extremely nice. I find them to be more jovial than most of the staff at Monument.
If you have the time, I suggest hitting Monument, but this isn't a bad place if you are criss-crossing Highway 24.

Stopped by this place the other day on my way up to Chico. I've driven past it several times before (my best friend used to go to school in Moraga), but this was the first time I've stopped to check it out.
This is definitely a wine store first, beer and liquor store second. Wine everywhere! Beer selection is decently sized, and can be found along the back wall. Most of the beer is kept in the wall coolers, with the rest being stacked just across from it. The selection included a lot of the best Californian micro-breweries: Russian River, Port Brewing, Lost Abbey, AleSmith, Stone; as well as some other semi-rare goodies: HotD Adam./Fred, Elysian Immortal IPA, and others that I'm having trouble remembering. Jackson's doesn't have anything that's too hard to obtain (though they did have Damnation 23 when I was in there), but the selection is definitely solid.
After a ten minutes or so of perusing, the cashier asked me if there was anything particular that I was looking for. He then informed me that their sister store, Monument Liquors in Concord, had a much larger beer selection. "We're more geared toward wine." He told me a bit more about Monument and suggested that I check it out. Thanks to him, I probably will check it out the next time I'm in the area.
All in all, Jackson's Wines & Spirits is a pretty cool place. If you're in the area of Lafayette/Moraga/Orinda, I'd suggest Moraga Wine & Spirits first (more rare finds), and this place a close second.
Also worth mentioning, they split up a lot of their six packs and sell them as singles. The singles are damn cheap too!
UPDATE (09-18-2009): This is run by the same people who own Monument Wines & Spirits in Concord, CA and Moraga Wine & Spirits in Moraga, CA. The Moraga store specializes in hard liquor; the Lafayette store specializes in wine; the Concord store specializes in beer. All, however, are fantastic!

An absolute gem for a small town in the suburbs. An excellent selection of imported Belgians as well as a very nice selection of American craft brews. I've seen most of their stuff before but not in a nondescript liquor store out here in the exurbs. I picked up a bottle of St. Bernardus 12 Special 60th Anniversary Edition. Not the best beer store you'll find but a very, very good one given the location. Definitley worth a stop if you're in the area or if you live in this part of Contra Costa County.

A sister establishment of Monument in Concord, Jackson has a smaller (but still very good) beer selection of about 165 craft beers and another 40 or so mass-market beers. And like its sister, all beers are kept cold and the keen pricing beats even BevMo. While Id make Monument my primary stop in Contra Costa County, Jackson stocks a good variety of beers including De Dolle Dulle Teve, Watou Triple, Moylans Hopsickle Imperial IPA, Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter, Stone Smoked Porter and many competitively-priced six-packs from West Coast micros. If you live in the area, youre lucky. If youre on the other side of the tunnel, youre probably better off visiting Ledgers in Berkeley for a more eclectic selection.

"Still pretty good" - well, I am up to about season 17 in the "tape several a day" mode (I have 40 on the DVR right now). There is a HUGE drop off after the first 10 seasons. There are some bits of gold, but it is like comparing Ray Allen 2010-2014 with Ray Allen 1997-2002. I mean, you still enjoy watching, and sometimes you marvel at what occurs, but if you judged the show on years 11-17, you would never consider it an all-time great.

But the early years, oh boy. Great, great stuff, the likes of which we will likely never see again.

I have made a commitment to myself that I will try to watch 80-90% of Season 25, just so I can give a fair shake to the newest episodes and not miss any improvement I may see.

Now this is a screwed up team when you have the owner and GM agreeing to do something and then THEY get vetoed????? Um, OK.

Look, Klay Thompson is an ELITE shooter. When left open, there is scarcely a player in the league who I would rather have shooting for my club. That is one reason I think he will be so great on Team USA. But Klay Thompson has a limited upside. He isn't going to be a young Ray Allen, ever. He has low assist, rebound, free throw and steals+blocks totals. He is a really, really good shooter, and he is tall. But that is about it.

If I woke up tomorrow as GM of the Warriors and you offered me Andrew Wiggins for Klay Thompson, I may not take it, since the Warriors are a 50 win team. But if you asked me whether Wiggins or Thompson will be better in the 2016-17 season, I don't know that answer. Thomspon is a more durable Danilo Galinari. Would I trade Danilo for Love? Absolutely. In a heartbeat.

Klay Thompson's PER has never reached league average (15) for a whole season, and he has played MUCH worse in the playoffs than in the regular season. Ray Allen's PER for his first three years - 14, 16, 19. Then he kept steady around 20-22.

Do not offer me a rose." Her reply, "Why are you sending me mixed signals?"

This followed a long stretch where he told her, basically, to F off and stop smothering him. To which her psychological response, naturally, was, "Well, he loves me so much, he just feels smothered by all of his love for me."

Wow.

Anyway, a couple similar stories from old HM:

-- 1982, dating a girl from 4 towns away, but I decide to also date the lead in the school play. Lead in play feels I should ask her to the prom. No way - I am asking my real gf. So I just ignore the not-so-subtle hints that are being given. Finally, one play practice I say, "Look, I have a gf who lives 4 towns away and I am taking her, NOT you." Tears are falling....

I show up for school the next day - lead in the play comes up and plants one on me at my locker. Uh..............!?!?!? "I understand that you felt obliged to ask that other girl. Too bad you made that commitment months ago, but good for you to honor it." Um, I have NO IDEA where those pieces of information came from. I had asked the other girl a day or two before telling the lead in the play. It wasn't a months-long commitment. I never said anything of the sort to the lead in the play. But she had convinced herself that this was the best explanation, so she/we went with it.

-- 1988 -- living in Minneapolis, but had a gf from law school. Dated a good looking blonde girl from MN for the summer. I went to the airport and bought a ticket for my gf to fly up to Minneapolis. MN girl found out. (Story is actually way worse, but moving it along). Tears are falling.....

GF stays with me Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Tuesday I get done with work and I am bored, so I figure, why not call MN girl? Will at least be entertaining to hear how mad she is at me. Call -- "How is your little slutty gf?" Um, well, she left. "So why are you calling me?" Just wanted to say hello. How is it going? "Well, better now. You called me." Would you like to go to the movies this weekend? "How about tonight?" Uh....OK.

Driving to the movies, here is the line from her, "Well, I figured you had forgotten all about me once you brought your little tramp up here, but when you called I recognized how much you cared about us."

Um, OK. The mind can be very powerful at rationalizing things I guess.HMhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002719.post-54281643634049871052014-08-11T16:36:00.003-06:002014-08-11T16:37:53.908-06:00Whose Butt? (Clue - She's Patriotic)

Simmons says Love is Underrated. As a 26 year Timberwolves season ticket holder, I am probably one of the very few people in the world who have watched Kevin Love play a lot every season he has been healthy as a pro. Kevin Love has played 364 NBA games. I have seen probably 130 in person and 150 or more on TV. I can tell you virtually anything you need to know about how Kevin Love has played and can play in the NBA. My conclusion is that he is a Second Team All-NBA player and people have serious questions about his greatness. He is....."Properly Rated."

The first thing you need to know is that Kevin Love is an extremely selfish player. I would say that he is an extremely selfish and self-centered person as well, but that analysis isn't based upon spending 600 hours around him. I have probably seen him play for 600 hours, so I have a fair sample to say he is a selfish player.

Shane Battier is a great winner. His teams almost always won. He is a huge team guy, great defender, willing defender (will try to guard anyone), great in the locker room and doesn't care if he stands in the corner for 29 straight possessions and never sees the ball, he will stand there if he is asked to do so and when LeBron throws him the ball and he is open, he is ready to shoot it.

Kevin Love is none of those things. He is not a big team guy, is a terrible and unwilling defender, poor in the locker room, and if he is not seeing the ball, there will be hell to pay. If his team is winning by 30 and he has 10 points and 10 rebounds, he wants back in the game because he isn't getting his averages.

How poor is Love as a defender? Cannot defend out on the floor, cannot defend down low, poor pick and roll defender, never gets a steal, never gets a block, extremely terrible help defender (virtually invisible) and he isn't really even willing to take a few fouls to establish an interior presence. Love's 1.6 steals+blocks per 100 possessions makes him about as active in those areas as Wally Szczerbiak was.

So those are the weaknesses. Love defensively reminds me of a quote I once heard about Mark Aguirre, "I don't think he would be a good defender if he tried, but he will never try, so we will never know." Love is not particularly quick, doesn't jump real well, and is built kinda stocky (versus long and lean). He is also undersized, standing only a little over 6'7" in bare feet.

Defensively, Love really needs to play with a big shot blocking center. He never has, unless you count Darko (which you maybe could, if you could stand to watch Darko play).

So, as a team player, Love -- 30 out of 100
As a defender - Love - 20 out of 100.

He is terrible at these aspects of the game.

Ball handling - good in the post, can shot fake and take one dribble, not awful - 62 out of 100

Then you hit his sweet spots:

Passing - since he was told numerous times that great players need better assist stats, Love has become a willing passer and his outlet passing is spectacular. 90

Shooting - one of the most skilled big men I have ever seen play the game. Has every type of shot - 97.

Rebounding - Rodman or Moses Malone-esque -- 100

Flopping/Getting to the Line -- 98 (maybe Harden is better, or maybe not)

So what you have in Love is one of the starkest contrast of any player ever to play the game. He has rebounding, passing and shooting skills combined that are roughly the equivalent of Larry Bird (worse passer, better rebounder). Yet defensively and as a teammate he is right there in Rashad McCants/J.R. Rider territory.

On the one hand he has a skill set equal to a top 10 all-time player. And on the other hand, he is so poor at certain aspects of the game that he could be out of the league if he had to rely upon those skill sets.

The problem with Kevin Love leading a team to the playoffs (which he has not done) is that he lacks a physical ability that is simply overwhelming. He isn't huge (Kareem, Shaq, Duncan, the Malones), he isn't ridiculously fast (Jordan, LeBron, Wade), he isn't explosive (Elgin Baylor, Nique, Drexler). He doesn't have a freakish ballhandling ability for a bigger man (Oscar, Magic, LeBron). He isn't freakishly long and lean for a shooting player (Durant, Dirk). He isn't able to guard all five positions (Garnett).

If you don't have superstar athletic ability of some sort, it is hard to be an all-time great. You can find exceptions, most of them 20 plus years ago and white - Bird, Rick Barry, Stockton. But Bird and Stockton played hard on both ends of the floor and were consummate team players. Rick Barry's first 4 years that they kept the steals stat he averaged almost 3 steals + blocks!!! His steals plus blocks figures were DOUBLE those being put up by Kevin Love. And Barry was not regarded as a particularly great defender. But he contributed something positive on that end.

 I believe that Kevin Love is recognized by most people as a top 10 NBA player who has some enormous holes in his game which keep him from being a top 3 player. That is, in fact, what he is. So, on the Simmons scale, he is "Properly Rated."

Uh, No.Look, I am not going to dispute that the Basketball Hall of Fame has really hit some clunkers. (Calvin Murphy? Guy Rodgers?) but those guys are so far off from what should be the standard to get into the Hall of Fame that their selection cries out "embarrassment" more than it leads to any serious consideration of what the standard should be for a Hall of Fame player.

But Mitch Richmond - he was a very good player. So should he be a Hall of Famer?

http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/r/richmmi01.html

Mitch Richmond had 0 first-team all-NBA selections. He had 0 times that he finished in the top 12 in the MVP balloting. So he was NEVER ONCE deemed to be among the top 12 most valuable players in the league, and, even with Michael's retirement for two years, he never made first team all-NBA. He was a 6 time all-star.

Go to the link and review his Win Shares "similar players" - do you see any Hall of Famers? No. Walter Davis was, arguably, as good of a player. Dan Majerle's teams had more success and his Win Share performance was almost identical.

The strength of Mitch Richmond was that he played a lot of games on bad Kings teams, so he got a lot of two things -- shots and minutes. Look at those minutes logged by Mitch Richmond for 11 years straight! Was he an efficient player? No. He had two years with a PER over 20. Two years. Vince Carter's CAREER PER is 20. Vince has had 8 years with a PER over 20.

After this year, it is likely that Mitch Richmond will have fewer overall Win Shares than Vince Carter has just offensive Win Shares.

Mitch was the All-Star Game MVP one year, shooting 10 of 13. The remainder of his All-Star games? 15 of 44. So, his much touted All-Star moment was really just one good game, mixed in amongst many bad games.

Again, Mitch Richmond was a very good player. And he was recognized with 3 second team and 2 third-team All-NBA selections. But if we select Mitch Richmond as a Hall of Fame player, how do we possibly keep out Joe Johnson? Look at their comparisons: http://bkref.com/tiny/yxLAd
While Mitch's stats and honors are slightly better, Joe's teams have been consistently better than Mitch's teams were. Joe has been a 7 time all-star.

Have we really reached the point where if you were a 6 or 7 time all-star that you are a lock for the Hall of Fame? If so, I guess I will just have to swallow hard and accept it. But I would prefer to think that a true Hall of Fame player should have been either: 1) a top 3 starter on a championship team; 2) a couple times first-team all-NBA; 3) top 10 in MVP balloting at least 2 times; 4) possessing some otherworldly skill that deserves recognition (10 times all-defense, 3 times Defensive POY, rebounding champ 4+ times, etc.); or 5) top 10 all-time in one particular positive stat of note.

Neither Mitch Richmond nor Joe Johnson meets any of those criteria. I don't think those criteria are overly difficult. Will there be some borderline guys left out? Sure. But it appears that the HOF is just putting guys in now because they are running out of good candidates and need to present a program in August.

HMhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002719.post-47922923499449919242014-08-05T10:21:00.000-06:002014-08-05T10:21:09.944-06:00Team USA - And Then There Were 16 (With Predicted Final Roster)
Still remaining in the U.S. pool of players are guards Derrick Rose, Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, James Harden, Kyle Korver, Damian Lillard; forwards Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Chandler Parsons, Gordon Hayward, Kenneth Faried; and centers DeMarcus Cousins, Mason Plumlee and Andre Drummond.

Sorting this media report by position:
PG -- Rose, Curry, Irving, Lillard

SG - Thompson, DeRozan, Harden, Korver, Hayward

SF - Durant, Parsons,

PF - Davis, Faried

C - Cousins, Plumlee, Drummond.

Word is that Cousins (injury status - insane) is almost certainly gone. So what are your three remaining cuts?

1) I would say Lillard is almost certainly gone. He is a full step below his competition at PG. Unless Rose or Irving gets injured, Damian will see the final cuts as a bad Omen.

2) We obviously have too many SGs and not enough SFs (Paul George's horrific injury costing us a lot of minutes at that position). I would say that Hayward is almost certainly a cut.

3) Therefore, the final cut comes down to Korver and DeRozan. Since Coach K appears willing to keep Curry (1/2 white), Thompson (same), Parsons (white), and Plumlee (white) he has 3 of 12 already as white-equivalent. So that spells doom for Korver. DeRozan is more athletic and gives energy that Korver cannot. Durant will be playing 35 mpg in close games, so he will get to shoot 10+ threes a game. Curry is a top 5 shooter. Klay Thompson when left alone is a great shooter. Irving is streaky, but when he gets it going he is a 5-6 3PtA a game guy.

My predicted Final Roster, starters first

Curry, Irving, Rose
Harden, Thompson, DeRozan
Durant, Parsons
Davis, Faried
Drummond, Plumlee

Unless the opponent has a good 6'10" plus center, the lineup in crunch time will likely be

Curry, Harden, Durant, Davis and whoever else has shown the hot hand from 3 that day. Klay Thompson and Chandler Parsons will have every opportunity to shine. With Paul George, we would have had an amazing top 5 (##1, 4, 5, 12 and 14 in the league in WS).HMhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002719.post-60721865681216428472014-08-04T15:21:00.003-06:002014-08-04T15:21:30.050-06:00Dustin Johnson's "Personal" Issues -- Cocaine and Other Guys' WivesHoops Maven <s>@</s>HoopsMavenHM   4s

Is this something to apologize for? I mean, come on. If I were looking for a mate, could I not say she had to be wealthy and have a smoking hot body? OK. I guess not on the radio. But still - who exactly are these people who are offended? Ugly guys? Poor men? Asian or Irish guys? (Oops, now I will need to apologize....).

Anyway - puts me in mind of Sue Bird's radio boast that if she didn't have a 2:1 assist to turnover ratio that the radio guys could spank her in studio. She was being fun and indicating her sexual openness. Then a huge outcry arose about encouraging violence to women. She withdrew the bet.HMhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-13002719.post-86202805637458120432014-07-21T13:34:00.001-06:002014-07-21T13:34:27.108-06:00Hot Chick You Never Heard of --- Emily Skyehttps://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=A0LEV0oJas1TiVwAh0lXNyoA?p=emily+SKye&fr=&fr2=piv-web

Have just brought the speakers and they arrived broken. The shining mettalic part on both the speakers were broken and they fell into the speakers. The reason for the breakage may be the quality of the speakers which i was not at all impressed with.
Have put up a complaint about the same and am waiting for the response. Would update the response as well whenever possible.
I bought this product thru flipkart and this is my firt product from flipkart .. for Rs 313 , its a very good speaker for laptops and giving very good audio sound and clarity ..
I am not comparing this small one with 2.1 and 5.1 speakers but for this less price , its a very good speaker and you can trust and buy it .. It worth
Happy customer
I just took these speakers as a timely adjustment as I couldnot get my 5.1 along.. But these speakers have surpassed my expectations.. For a nominal cost ,these speakers are real value for money...No complaints till now and the sound performance is awesome..I am sure they would last longer than one would expect..
speakers are fantastic and just working fine. worth of price. Audio quality and volume range is better. good purchase in rs 255.
At low level its okay, but who is bothered at such a low level when his laptop can produce better low sounds.. but when you raise the bar... its not too great... looking at the price one wouldn't complain but what the necessity then getting laptop speaker...

Love Child
Yesterday, as a work-related fundraiser, we were allowed to donate $10 and wear jeans to work. I chose this opportunity to wear my jeans topped with a darling black leather moto jacket that I got for my birthday. It's adorable. And then I looked in the mirror. What was not so adorable was the K-Bob. My Kay Bailey hairdo has desserted me and yesterday I looked like the love child of Leather Tuscadero and Gene Simmons. Hell, actually, given the bad semi-permanent color job I just DIY'd, I look a lot more like pure Gene Simmons. Too dark, too harsh, too dry and too flat. It may be time for a new, softer do.
And speaking of children, I had a Free Love Child experience last night. I went to the active meditation session. Turns out, it was an "interpretive dance" meditation. Now that's different. Actually, I quite enjoyed it. There were about seven of us in a darkened room and the music gave basic instruction - flow with the music, staccato movements, follow your feet, lead with your hands, feel your breath, etc. Yea, it was crunchy granola, but it was freeing and relaxing and BONUS - another hour of enjoyable exercise. It was a total "dance like nobody's watching" experience. I'd do it again. Next week? Drum circle. Yea folks, get your patchouli here.
I did something else wonderful yesterday. We are having amazing weather - around 80 degrees yesterday. So on my way home from work, I got off the bus in the park and walked the rest of the way home through my very favorite part of the twisty trail. I'll have to remember to do this more often. It's harder to do when I have to come all the way home, change and go back out, but today, I was wearing my walking Borns and jeans, so it was perfect. I got in another mile plus walking and I got to see a professional photographer taking some family pictures of children in the fall leaves.
Food was on target and I hit the gym at lunch. No complaints here.
Bed made. Breakfast made. Lunch made. Dinner planned. Gym planned.
Take good care of yourself. Be kind to others. Love your inner child.

@Lori - Yep, I adore Futurama. I don't have "real cable" - just the off-the-menu package that allows me to get the network affiliates, but CC chooses not to scramble their signal, so BONUS!

See, I don't think you should be allowed to put that image in our minds and then not give us a photo! I am sure it wasn't as bad as you're making it sound. I DIY all the time with hair color - can't afford $100 a month to beat back the grey - lol!ReplyDelete
'get out the patchouli'--love that. I was raised southern Baptist / Methodist but my real self and spirit came through while hiking in parks, drum circles in Az, meditation, Reiki. Whatever works for us.ReplyDelete
I love your wicked humor! And agree with Helen - I'd like to see the pic and know darn well it wasn't as harsh as you saw. But heck - sometimes a self vision sends us in a whole new mahvelous direction, and I'm sure that's what will happen with you.ReplyDelete

Too funny!

Teaching your workers about money; Getting someone else to pay your mortgage; A spare room for debate; Will your marriage survive retirement?; An ode to home based work
By Amanda Morrall
1) Work worries
As an employer you'll optimistically think that your employees, when they are not hard at work, are pondering work related problems and how to solve them. Guess again.
Chances are your otherwise faithful employee is fretting and worrying about money.
Studies have found that money woes weigh heaviest on employees and take up the majority of head space for them, even when they are on the job.
It seems sensible therefore that you, as an employer, would want to minimise the amount of time your employees worry and fret over financial issues.
In recognition of just how important and pressing financial issues for workers, the Australian Defence Force some time ago introduced mandatory personal finance training sessions for its employees.
As I mentioned in a blog a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of hearing Commodore Robert Brown (a leading financial literacy advocate from Australia) speak on this subject at a financial literacy conference hosted by the Commission for Financial Literacy and Retirement Income. The Commodore argued that personal finance deserved to rank alongside workplace safety as an issue of well-being for employees. I would agree.

The following from kiplinger.com elaborates on the toll that financial stress takes in the workplace.
Coincidentally last week I interviewed a financial advisor who left his full time job so he could pursue this line of work, engaging directly with employees at the workplace and help them get sorted financially without selling them products.
2) Will your marriage survive retirement?
It's a fair question because let's face it when the kids fly the coop and you're no longer spending the majority of your waking hours at work, you'll be spending a lot more time together.
Divorce rates are spiking for this demographic which would suggest trouble is on the horizon given our rapidly ageing population.
With more on this troubling issue and how to avoid become a statistic, check out this article from Forbes.
3) Mortgage offload
I've come across a fair number of people lately who are renting out their houses for more than their minimum mortgage payments and living somewhere cheaper as a way to fast track becoming freehold.
The advent of airbnb and such sites has made this an increasingly popular option for folks who don't mind turfing themselves out for the sake of an improved long term financial outlook.
With other suggestions on how to get rid of your mortgage faster, check out this item from gobankingrates.com.
4) Spare room for debate
Before you rush to rent out every room in your house, I recommend you read this piece from the Harvard Business Review considering the potential pitfalls of this mortgage reduction given regulators and tax hawks are looking to swoop in on it.
5) Home base
Another ode to home based work from The Investor, writing for the Monevator.

In 23 years of running
In 23 years of running businesses I have come to conclusion there is a problem with the idea of educating employees. In theory it makes sense but in practice nothing can taught, something can only be learned.
To illustrate what I mean; I know a guy who for a time had come to the decision that it was a "good idea" to run relationships with two women at the same time. He was younger then and had problems making choices in life, always wanting to have options. Who knows what twisted justifications could lead someone to such place.
Although this young man *knew* it was a stupid thing to do he couldn't help himself from doing it and thus he himself laid the seeds for the destruction on both relationships.
Ralph I am the
I am the adviser that Amanda refers to. I just want to share information about KiwiSaver, debt control and financial hazards with employees at the workplace because hardly anyone talks to them about this stuff. I wouldn't *dream* of giving relationship advice...that's well outside of my scope of service on my disclosure statements.
Good luck to you!
Good luck to you!

Jain, in just his second year jumping, tied the mark for his best jump in competition and moved up two spots from his fifth-place finish last year at Middle Tennessee State University. Each of Friday's top three competitors cleared 6-4, but CPA's Zack Weatherly cleared it on his first attempt to win the title. Torran Davis reached the height on his second attempt to come in second for Red Bank while Jain cleared the bar on his third and final attempt. All three failed to clear 6-6.
A year ago, Trevor Jain was still a rookie in the high jump when he made it all the way to the state championships.
Thursday was a tough day for Sevier County.

The importance of multi-channel in the contact centre
TELECOMS| Sept. 12, 2012, 9:06 a.m.
By Paul Fick, Managing Director, Jasco Enterprise
With the prevalence of the Internet, the availability of always-on connectivity and the evolution of smart phones and tablets, customer communication preferences have changed dramatically over the last decade.
These social phenomena mean that people now communicate more often and in more ways than ever before, and this trend is no longer limited to only younger generations. In fact, according to a study conducted by Pew Research Centre in 2010 a total of 79% of adults have an online presence, and a substantial amount of time is spent across generations on social media interaction and using tools such as instant messaging. The message is clear – your customers are online and using multiple channels to communicate. If your contact centre cannot do the same, your business is bound to suffer.
The Internet has empowered customers to easily and instantly analyse, compare, search and research products, prices and brands before making a purchasing decision. This has significantly changed the customer-company relationship. Customers now demand instant attention, and if they are not satisfied, obtain good service or the product quality is poor, this knowledge will immediately be shared with their peers via a variety of media channels.
This change in customer behaviour implies that the age of the basic call centre is long gone. Customers now have so much more choice in the way they communicate with their peers that they expect the same options when communicating with a business. Business need to be aware of what is communicated about the business that is in the public domain, and must have the ability to communicate with their customer base in a similar fashion. At the very least, contact centres need to incorporate an email channel as a starting point and should have the ability to monitor the most important social media channels. Customers can 'make or break' a company or brand image using social media.
Aside from the need to know what customers are saying on various social media channels, organisations also need to be agile in the way they respond to their customers. The fast pace of life today means that customers want answers immediately, using the communication channel of their choice, and if one business cannot provide this, there is every possibility that they may take their custom elsewhere. Chat, or instant messaging, is fast becoming an important method of communication for customers who want information quickly without having to go through traditional voice channels; however, customers may wish to use a combination of voice, email, chat, even social media to communicate with a company, and they expect the same seamless experience they get when using multiple communication channels among their peers.
Customers use multiple channels to communicate, so the importance of a multi-channel contact centre is clear. However incorporating traditional and new media channels can prove to be something of a challenge, given that each medium has its own characteristics. While fax is sometimes necessary, email can usually do the same job except when policies require that faxes be used. Email and fax messages both have an accepted response time of a few hours, and are cheaper to service than voice. However voice is still a necessary component of any contact centre. Inbound calls have service levels measured in seconds and are good for negotiation and personal communication.
Chat is an extension of this, also requires immediate attention, and is ideal for supporting web customers. Like voice it relies on agent availability, however one agent can often handle multiple chats at the same time. SMS is another channel, which is fast and easy to manage, but is limited to short responses and as a result there is potential for misunderstandings. Finally, there is social media, which requires a response time of a matter of minutes. Social media itself constitutes multiple channels, but the benefit of this is that one post can sometimes resolve issues for multiple customers, and it allows organisations to actively detect opportunities and issues. However multiple networks increases management complexity, and content needs to be filtered. It is also an entirely public domain so is not suitable for all subjects, and organisations have little to no control over what customers say about them on these forums.
Managing each of these channels independently is a complex, complicated process that does not deliver the seamless experience customers demand. A true multi-channel contact centre allows organisations to combine channels to leverage a host of benefits and better manage service levels. Using a blended multi-channel contact centre solution, organisations can gain an understanding of which channels are productive and which are not, and can also incorporate outbound calling and back office tasks. One solution to manage multiple channels also ensures that there is a universal queuing system and that agents can be assigned to contacts based on priority and skill. This also provides a normalised interface for agents, which requires less training to operate, and allows for standardised reporting and management across communication channels.
Customers are used to communicating with multiple channels, and in order to remain competitive, businesses need to be able to do the same. With a single contact centre solution capable of handling multiple channels, customer frustration can be lessened, wasted agent capacity can be minimised, and service levels can be accurately managed across various platforms. In today's social world, the customer really is king, and the multi-channel contact centre is the next step in improving customer retention and delivering improved customer service levels.

How to identify site problems, without spending my time checking every url?
I run a large site, and much of it I rarely visit. I recently realized that some functions on the site had been down for a month, making some urls invisible.
Is there some automated system I could use to check a selection of my urls, to alert me to likely problems? The standard 'site is down' checker obviously isn't enough. Site is up, but not every bit of it is up.

It would be cool if we could add an artist for a run on an ongoing serie, like from number 78 to 94 on this serie, this writer was on it, we won't have to do each issue one by one for long serie with different writers who still stay for quite a long run.

The euro crisis: Muddling through, or on the way to a more perfect euro union?
After a promising first decade, the Eurozone faced a severe crisis. This column looks at the Eurozone's short history through the lens of an evolutionary approach to forming new institutions. German dominance has allowed the euro to achieve a number of design objectives, and this may continue if Germany does not shirk its responsibilities. Germany's resilience and dominant size within the EU may explain its 'muddling through' approach to the Eurozone crisis. Greater mobility of labour and lower mobility of under-regulated capital may be the costly 'second best' adjustment until the arrival of more mature Eurozone institutions.Read more ›
Repairing the transmission of monetary policy through asset-backed securitisation
By Markus K Brunnermeier and Yuliy Sannikov This post originally appeared on Vox and represents what this site believes is a very likely action the ECB could take for monetary easing later this week. Eurozone monetary policy transmission is broken. A key aspect of this is the failure of credit to get to small and medium enterprises, and consumers. This […]Read more ›
How money matters: The Old Lady fails to get an "A"
Andrea Terzi Dr. Terzi is a Professor of Economics at Franklin University Switzerland and a Research Associate with the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College. One thing's for sure: The financial crisis has dealt a deadly blow to what was until recently considered the state-of-the-art of monetary policy. Just compare the 1992 edition of Modern Money Mechanics, published by the […]Read more ›
Proactive fiscal tightening damages income growth
While the credit expansion/savings reduction needs to continue to grow to support GDP growth, the credit expansion/savings reduction doesn't need to 'spike up' proactively as it does when the fiscal tightening is proactive.Read more ›
Political connections in turbulent times
By Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, Amir Kermani, James Kwak, Todd Mitton This post was originally published at Vox. Political connections affect economic outcomes in emerging markets. This column discusses new evidence showing that something similar goes on in the US. Over the ten trading days following the announcement of Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary, financial firms with a connection to […]Read more ›
Retail sales and jobless claims
Again, the income to support sales just doesn't seem to be there, as the sub 3% federal deficit doesn't seem to have been providing the spending needed to offset the demand leakages (unspent income). And squinting at the jobless claims chart, if anything, it seems to have bottomed and be nudging irregularly higher.Read more ›
Turmoil in emerging markets: What's missing from the story?
The Federal Reserve's 'taper talk' in spring 2013 has been blamed for outflows of capital from emerging markets. This column argues that global growth prospects and uncertainty are more important drivers of emerging-market capital flows than US monetary policy. Although crises can affect very different countries simultaneously, over time investors begin to discriminate between countries according to their fundamentals. Domestic investors play an increasingly important – and potentially stabilising – role. During a financial crisis, 'retrenchment' by domestic investors can offset foreign investors' withdrawals of capital.Read more ›
The roots of shadow banking

Why fiscal sustainability matters
By Willem Buiter This post first appeared on Vox Fiscal sustainability has become a hot topic as a result of the European sovereign debt crisis, but it matters in normal times, too.

How to think about fiscal drag
By Warren Mosler Back in November my forecast for 2013 was 4%, which at the time was by far the highest around. The govt was spending more than its income by about 6% of GDP, which was about $900 billion if I recall correctly. But then it cut back, first with the year end FICA hike along with other expiring […]Read more ›
The unfortunate uselessness of most 'state of the art' academic monetary economics
Standard macroeconomic theory did not help foresee the crisis, nor has it helped understand it or craft solutions. This columns argues that both the New Classical and New Keynesian complete markets macroeconomic theories not only did not allow the key questions about insolvency and illiquidity to be answered. They did not allow such questions to be asked. A new paradigm is needed.Read more ›

NORTH HOLLYWOOD -- Police on Sunday were investigating a gang-related shooting that killed a man and wounded three people in North Hollywood.
The shooting was reported at 7:10 p.m. in the Valley Glen area of North Hollywood, near 13130 Vanowen St., said Officer Bruce Borihanh of the Los Angeles Police Department.
"The victims were standing outside in a courtyard when the suspect approached and opened fire," Borihanh said.
"The first victim was shot in the chest," Borihanh added. "The second victim was shot in the stomach. The third victim was shot in the leg, and the fourth victim was shot in the hand."
Police established a perimeter in their search for a man wearing a black hat, but no arrests had been made.
The victims shot in the torso were transported to a nearby hospital in serious condition while the victims shot in the respective leg and hand were taken to the hospital in stable condition.
One of the victims later died of their wounds in the hospital.
There is currently no known motive for the shooting, but LAPD gang units are on the scene investigating.
Anyone with information on this shooting is asked to call the LAPD's North Hollywood station at (818) 623-4016.
