Société de transport de Montréal (STM) may not be a retailer, but retail chains can learn a valuable lesson from how the transportation company rewards individual consumers for their loyalty.
Not even a hurricane named Sandy could erode the economic upsurge experienced by the northeastern United States over the last year.

By Kumar Venkataraman
Over the last decade, America's Atlantic shores have faced the wrath of more than a dozen hurricanes, causing damage worth several billion dollars.

This is the front of our house, We've been here about 2 years and are trying to spruce things up. I'd like to paint the front door and shutters but I'm just unsure of what would work with the light gray siding. The door is currently a very dark forest green. I believe the shutters are the same, but they look off black.
We're thinking a door with a lot of glass to bring some light into the otherwise dark entryway. I would like a lighter color because the sun shines right on the front of the house from noon on and the door gets very hot to the touch. The inside is a dark gray with hardwood floors, most of the house is a light blue, gray, light green color palette. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I may never buy another Hershey's chocolate candy bar for my grandkids to split—no, not the solid milk chocolate with the squares, but the one with almonds. There is absolutely no way to break it into equal shares.
My grandchildren's cries of injustice erupt as soon as they receive their portion: "NOT FAIR! He got a bigger piece," says one child; or the exasperating whine of another announcing, "She got three almonds—I didn't get any. It's not fair!"
One standard and dispassionate response has become—"That's right, life isn't fair!"
We finally devised a solution: We let one of them break the candy bar in half—and then the other child gets to pick the portion he thinks is the bigger. It's fascinating to watch them break it in half with the attention and precision of a neurosurgeon ... always insuring that the other one doesn't get too much.
When our portion doesn't seem right
I wish fairness in life could be solved easily. Most things, however, do not divide into equal portions.
Life isn't fair.
Sometimes our portion of life doesn't seem right. Our portion isn't milk chocolate—it is bittersweet, or sometimes it's downright bitter. It just doesn't seem fair that:
Left to my human reason, these painfully unjust circumstances don't seem to resemble even remotely our standard of fairness. They make me angry. They cause me to question, to wonder, and to shake my head. "Why?" I ask.
Fortunately, most of us face fairness on another level. This level is not one of life and death, yet it is nonetheless very real. We, too, are left to wonder about "the fairness of it all." Do you ever struggle over:
Dealing with envy
Life doesn't always deliver equal portions for everyone. Our problem is that we only see in the dimension of time, while there is One weaving the tapestry of our lives with eternal purposes. We arrogantly presume that we are the best judges of fairness and equality. Our limited perspective leads us to compare what we think we deserve with what others appear to get. The invariable result is envy.
Jesus offers a parable dealing with fairness in Matthew 20:1-16 that could be entitled "Life isn't fair—but God is!" It's a parable for those who tend to keep a scorecard for life—for those who are tempted to envy another.
The parable is about a landowner who hired laborers for his vineyard. Early in the morning he hired a few men for a fair day's wage (18 cents at that time!). Throughout the morning and even into the afternoon, the landowner hired additional laborers. He promised to pay them "whatever is right." They agreed to his terms and went to work.
Later that evening he paid each laborer his wages for a "day's work." He began by paying the ones who had come last. Although they worked only a short time, he paid each 18 cents for his labor.
In fact, every laborer received 18 cents—the same amount, even though they had all worked a different number of hours.
The men who had worked diligently in the scorching heat all day complained. After they had grumbled, "That's not fair!" the landowner reminded them he had done "no wrong." He had paid them what he promised.
The landowner spoke to them, "Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own?" Then he put his finger on the real issue—"Or is your eye envious because I am generous?" They were silenced by his response.
It works the other way, too. The laborers who received 18 cents for their less than a full day's labor were strangely silent. The master gave them more than they deserved. It's called grace—unmerited favor.
There are at least three principles found here that will help us as we face situations that seem unfair.
First, remember what you really deserve. We think we deserve more. In verse 10, it says that the men who worked all day expected a bonus. They thought the landowner owed them a "little extra" even though he had promised them no such thing.
I have to admit this is a tough one for me—I look at what I've done and believe that my Master (God) ought to give me all I want! That's a dangerously wrong evaluation of worth—after all, all that I have He gave me. Plus, Scripture reminds us that what we ultimately deserve is not heaven, but hell.
Second, envy begins when we compare ourselves with others. We get into trouble when we look at what others have. We compare and become envious. The problem with the laborers was they saw too much! Their eyes betrayed them.
How's your vision? Can you look clearly at what others have and be glad they have it? Or does the green film of envy blur your vision? How do you handle the news of a friend remodeling her house? Or the promotion of an associate at work? Or the news of your neighbor's child who won an award that your child wanted? Check your vision regularly. Envy can cause spiritual cataracts and ultimately blindness!
Third, we must ultimately trust that the Master, who owns everything, knows what He is doing. God is the sovereign ruler of the universe. He alone controls and rules over all. And not only does He know what He is doing, but He also loves us.
Barbara and I wanted our children to grow up realizing God won't give each of them the same "share" of earthly benefits. But we want them to know He will always deal with them in perfect judgment and according to His righteous character.
Everything that occurs in their lives will come either directly from God's hands or be gently sifted through His fingers. Everything is for the purpose of shaping their lives in His image. Circumstances, events, and problems may not always appear to be "fair," but they come from their loving Father.
Life isn't fair. But I know One who is fair—and He can be trusted.
"For the Lord your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality..." (Deuteronomy 10:17).

The Creation Kit for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has proven popular. According to Bethesda, gamers have downloaded more than 2 million mods since the content creation tools launched last week.
Designed to support the modding community, the Creation Kit gives gamers access to Bethesda's own development tools to make new Skyrim content. All mods are available for free.
Bethesda said more than 2,500 mods have been created and published by the community through the Skyrim Workshop. The tools went live last Tuesday.
The Creation Kit was originally targeted to arrive in January, before later being pushed to February 7.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim shipped for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in November to rapt reviews. The game took home the Game of the Year award at the Interactive Achievement Awards last week in Las Vegas as part of D.I.C.E. 2012.

last pic.. its pot ... is pretty small.. and the media is too peaty ... trees need to NEAR dry in between good waterings.. and peat can hold too much water.. so use your finger.. and let it NEAR dry in between good waterings ... otherwise you may rot its roots off ... should you ever decide to repot it ... lets discuss it ahead of time.. here on GW ... is there any reason it couldnt go in the ground??? and that would be done.. when its dormant .... which would be next winter ... in your zone.. so you have plenty of time to think about it .... ken |
Ken - thanks for info and questions! There's no where to pot it into the ground here, so it'll have to stay in a pot or barrel in the future. (it's been raining here all week that's why it looks so wet). Was figuring it needed a good repot this next winter, any tips or suggestions along those lines? Narrowed it down to either a Mt. Fuji or a Shirofugen Flowering Cherry... ;) |

Meet The Leo
Posted: Mar 05 2009
Originally published February 11th, 2007
If your dog is tired of the same old Kong and dance, you might want to take a look at our latest find, the Leo Dog Toy. The Leo is a dog toy that you can stuff with treats or peanut butter (similar to the Kong), but it also has "neck" that your dog can use as a handle to shake or carry the toy. Best of all, it has an opening in the belly of the toy where you can stuff treats – or connect the Leo to other Leos. This allows treats to fall from one toy to the other, driving dogs wild! It is made by an independent toy company called Canine Genius and smart dogs love playing with this unique spin on the same old dog treat toy. Highly recommended!

Easy to decorate chocoloate chip cookie dough truffles made with raw cookie dough that is egg-free
List of Materials
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter brought to room temperature
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown suger
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
- chocolate candy wafers
- sprinkles
Start by creaming 1/2 cup of unsalted butter that is at room temperature, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of light brown sugar together. With an electric mixer, this will take just a couple of minutes. The goal is for the mixture to be somewhat light and fluffy. Then, add in 2 tablespoons of milk and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix.
Add in 1-1/4 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, combining the mixture at a low speed or by hand. Mix in 1/2 cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips and set the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so that it is easier to work with.
Roll the dough into balls that are about 1-inch wide and line them up on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Set the baking sheet with the cookie dough balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes. While you are waiting, you can prep the candy coating by following the directions on the package. Remove the cookie dough balls from the freezer and one-by-one dip them in the candy coating using a fork. After you dip each one, set it aside on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Use a spoon to drizzle some of the melted candy onto the top, covering up any exposed dough. Quickly, before the candy coating dries, add any sprinkles, glitter, or decorations that you would like to stick to the top.
Now just set your cookie dough truffles off to the side to let the candy coating dry. Once the candy coating has set, the cookie dough truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week.

Take-Two posts loss in Q1, RDR sells 11m units
Publisher sees a 12% decrease in net revenue despite well selling titles.
Despite impressive performance of two of its titles, Take-Two has reported a loss for Q1 FY2012.
The publisher confirmed that last year's masterpiece, Red Dead Redemption has sold over 11 million units, while it's addon, Undead Nightmare, managed to whip up 2 million in sales as well. L.A. Noire did well too, despite it's numerous controversies, managing to sell 4 million copies since it's release in May.
The big numbers haven't helped the revenue, however. Take-Two's net revenue chalked up to around $334.4 million, a 12% decrease from $375.4 million in the same period last year.
The company also addressed Duke Nukem Forever, saying the controversial and long in the making shooter was profitable for the company, though they failed to mention any specifics.
"Despite its disappointing reviews, Duke Nukem Forever was profitable for Take-Two," said CEO Strauss Zelnick.
It now goes without saying that there will be more Duke Nukem titles, though we hope it makes it across sooner than a decade.

Does Hope do a 44mm zero stack headset?
If you'd have said compression damping I could have understood it. But surely adjusting rebound damping is the first thing you do after putting some air in it, no?
Normally yes. I'd forgotten amidst all the excitement And not enough rebound can lead to excess bobbing.
I wish I had a job which involved giddyness
looks like a nice fairly slack head angle for a short travel bike, should be fun
It's on my wishlist as an all rounder. Would love to have one by the Dyfi Enduro next year !

Whether you're in a BYOD classroom or just happen to have an Android device at home, it's useful to know which apps are being used in classrooms right now. When it comes to free Android apps, the selection may be a bit smaller than Apple's iOS but the quality is still top notch.
If you're looking to improve your study habits, take advantage of your smartphone sitting on your desk, or just interested in learning more about the Android operating system, these are few of my favorite apps that I've tested out and found to be quite useful.
An important note: every single student / teacher / person learns differently. You may hate all or some of these apps. But they're all free and at least worth trying out. Enjoy!
Andie Graph: In what may be the silliest but smartest decisions, the Andie Graph app actually looks exactly like your trusty old TI-83 calculator. All the buttons and everything. It's convenient to have this kind of computing power in your phone and not have to pay for the calculator itself. I remember my time in high school spent playing a version of 'worms' on my old TI-83 where you had to punch buttons seemingly nonstop. In any case, Andie Graph has all the functionality you've come to expect from a graphing calculator and more. I'd say the only downside is that there's no landscape mode like you'd find on the built-in calculator on most smartphones.
Study Checker: Do you suffer from Study ADD? If you're like me, you sit down to figure out a useful bit of information only to be sidetracked by apps and shiny things. Study Checker lets you keep track (mostly automagically) of how much time you spend studying, taking breaks, and whatnot. It's basically like Big Brother or a helicopter parent watching you learn. Recommended for anyone who might need a little more structure in their studies.
Speed Reading Trainer: While not useful for everyone, speed reading is a fun activity to try out if you're so inclined. More than a party trick, it can help you quickly skim / read text and digest the important bits. This app helps you by giving you specific text trials and offers analytics on how you're doing. Fun to try!
School Timetable Deluxe: Like the Study Checker app mentioned a couple apps ago, School Timetable Deluxe helps you add some structure and guidelines to your school day. Great for both teachers AND students, to be honest. It's a bit rough around the edges (still being updated, not to worry) but has some powerful functionality like managing your curriculum, grades, and schedules. The schedule part is fabulous as it's got a very Windows 8-y feel too it with all the color blocking.
Studyblue Flashcards: You probably know Studyblue. They are those folks who help you make digital flashcards to improve your learning of just about anything. If you like flashcards, you'll like this app. It feels like a premium app but, of course, is free!

Hi! My job is very interesting to me. I like it very much. I work in the automobile industry. For fun, I spend time with my son, who is 7 yrs. old. We do alot of things together including Cub Scouts. One of my favorite dishes to cook is a casserole I love to make and eat casseroles. There are so many different kinds of casseroles to make. My son likes to help me make cookies and different things. Sometimes he helps me plan meals and helps fix them. But his favorites food to make is brownies.
Two of my favorites dishes to cook is chicken pot pie and crispy chicken nuggets. One of my favorite restaurants is called Lalitos. It serves mexican food. It is so very good. I love all kinds of foods.

Related article: Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 02:30:08 EST From: WandererF65aol.com Subject: Danny's StoryFor adults readers only!Danny's StoryPt. 1Let me introduce myself. My name is Danny and I'm 19 and gay. I identify as Goth, or what you may call `EMO.' I don't self identify as Emo, because I am rather well balanced upstairs. I had a good home life growing up. I love my family and they love me. I'm also out as gay to my family and they have accepted me and still love me.For those of you who don't know; the word `Emo' is often associated with over `emotional' youth. I have emotions, like everyone else; however I rarely get depressed and have never wanted to cut or kill myself. Some Emo kids cut themselves because they say it's the only time they can actually `FEEL.' That is sad!For me, real busty preteens being Goth, or if you insist `Emo,'
is more of a fashion statement.I don't care if people call me `Emo;' I don't find it offensive. I just wanted you to understand, that I'm just me. Also, I don't wear dark makeup around my eyes. Because I don't like looking like a raccoon.
I'm of Scottish/French decent, 5/10 tall, 30" waste, weigh 155 pounds, my hair is dyed black, (of course) and I have piercing blue eyes. I also have a few body piercings, tongue, nipples, navel, one per ear, one tattee (in a very private place), other than sideburns, I have no facial hair. I shave twice a day. I also shave below the belt. My only noticeable body hair below my neck is my treasure trail and a small triangle of pubes just above my
nonude african preteen
cock.I guess I am good looking because girls, boys, and men tell me so. I am also mostly
preteen pantie ads
attracted to older men; hence I keep my piercings to a minimum. Older guys don't seem to like them much, except the one in my tongue of course. heheWhen I was little, I used to watch Addam's Family reruns. I used to imagine that Pugsly got kicked off the show and replaced by me. I would have been so much cooler than Pugsley. That's when I began insisting on wearing all black clothing.My favorite TV show is NCIS, My favorite actor is Mark Harmon/Gibbs, (I love foxy, older men with grey hair). My favorite
preteens hxxp
actress is Pauley Perrette/Abby, also from NCIS. I pretend that Abby is Wednesday Addams all grown up, smart, vulnerable, and beautiful, like me.
I was born in Nor Cali. At the age of 8 my rents split up and my mom moved us to Bakersfield. We moved in with mom's brother, my Uncle Bill. If you have ever considered moving to Bakersfield, don't bother. It sucks!Bill is
nude preteen teens
pretty cool. He owns a motorcycle parts house and also fixed them.Everyday after school, I would walk the
posing preteen
four blocks to Bill's shop and hang out till my mom would get off work and pick me up.Lots of Bill's Biker friends would hang out in the shop and come and go all day. I got to know all of them by their first names. My most vivid memories of Bill and his buddies was the smell of preteen models gimnastics the leathers they wore, their many tattoos,
preteen bbs magazine
facial hair, and how tuff they looked and acted. Yet, for the most part, they were all quite gentle with me. They treated me like family. Soon, I started to call them all uncle. These guys were my roll models growing up. Unlike TV shows and movies, most bikers work hard for a living and are not drug dealers. Like being Goth, it's a lifestyle choice with very kewl wheels.Bill's place of business had once been an old gas station and tire warehouse.Like most old gas stations, the bathrooms were located outside. When I would have to relieve myself, I would use the outside bathroom. This is where I had my first sexual experiences.I thought the bathroom was cool because it was real old and someone had carved pictures of penises all over the wood in the stalls and there were also drawing and messages about stuff I didn't understand yet, but someday would.Bill had an preteen free oral
preteen toplist illegal
old time soda vending machine in the shop, except there was beer inside it, instead of soda. The vending machine was a cool idea, as there was always beer for Bill's customers, and it only cost a buck a bottle. When his friends would drink beer, they would say "gotta piss" and go outside to the bathroom and sometimes another friend would follow. I just figured he had to piss too.One day when I was 9, I had to poop and was sitting in the stall farthest from the urinals. I heard the outside door slam hard, I got startled and pulled my knees into my chest, like when I would watch scary movies. The door slammed hard again and after a minute I heard strange moaning sounds. I quietly pulled up my pants, and crawled under the wall to the stall nearest the urinals. I then very quietly sat on the toilet and picked my feet up again so no one would see me.I could now see everything that was going on through a small hole in the wall of the stall. One of my uncles was on his knees and my other uncle had put his penis inside his mouth and
the one on his knees was sucking and licking the other man's penis like it was a lollypop. I don't know why, but watching this made me feel all funny inside and my little dick got all hard.The guys would take turns sucking on each other's penises until one would make loud moaning sounds and then they changed positions. After both men made the moaning sounds, they kissed and hugged. One man said "Thanks buddy" and patted the other man on the back and they left.Afterwards, I put my feet down and finished my poop. I then returned to Bill' s shop, and waited for my mom to pick me up. I had no idea what the men were doing, but got all excited every time I thought about it.After that, whenever I had to poop, I would always sneak out to the stall nearest the urinals and put my feet up, so no one could see
natural preteen nudists
me. Sometimes, I would even go out there when I didn't have to poop or pee. Guys didn't always come in and play when I was there, but when they did, I loved watching them.When I was 10, my uncle expanded his business and began selling BMX bikes, skateboards, and related products, so kids my age and older preteen pics nudes began coming into his store. After lots of kids started hanging out in Bill's shop my uncle moved

the beer vending

machine to the warehouse behind the old gas station. Bill's buddies began hanging out there. They also started using the bathroom in the back of the warehouse with a locking door, so I lost my main source of entertainment.One day, I went into the old outside bathroom because I actually had to poop and sat
chubby preteen nonnude
in my favorite stall. I noticed that someone had made my little spy hole much bigger. The door slammed, I raised my feet and I looked through the hole to see who it was.I recognized an older boy from the high school, one of Bill's customers. He unzipped, pulled his dick out and peed in the urinal. Afterwards, he started playing with it. He kept looking towards the door like he was waiting for someone, but no one came in. He then walked over to my stall and tried the door, which was locked. "Someone in there" he asked? I just said "Yea, me." He went back around and looked through the hole and saw that I was sitting on the toilet with my hard little dick in my hand. I don't think he saw my face. He asked if I wanted to `play' and without even having to think; I said "Sure."I started to get off the seat to unlock the door; but before I had a chance, he stuck his dick through the hole. Now I knew what the hole was for.At first I just sat there staring at his big dick, not sure what to do. After about a minute, the kid said "Well, are you going to suck it or what?" I figured I had better do it fast or he might get mad and leave.I put my hand around it and stroked it the way I saw the older men do it. I had to use both hands. It was big. I pushed the skin back and forth and it looked like a little pee came out of his pee hole. Without hesitation, I licked the head, but it did not taste like pee, it tasted better (I sometimes peed on myself in the bathtub at home and had tasted my own).After that, I just started doing what I saw the older guys do and got down to seriously sucking the guy's dick. The more I sucked, the more I got into it. I could only get about 3 inches in my mouth. A couple of times he told me to watch my teeth and once I let it go in
preteen young twat
too far, gagged and almost threw up. After a few minutes, I guess I was getting real good at it because the boy started moaning and pumping his dick through the hole faster and faster until suddenly all this warm goo shot out into my mouth and down my throat. I was totally unprepared. I pulled my mouth off the dick and started coughing and gagging. The boy looked through the hole again and then started banging on the door and telling me to let him in.I finally got the door unlocked and the boy grabbed my hand and pulled me up.I thought he was going to hit me and I turned my face away. Instead, he stood me up and patted me on my back very gently till I stopped coughing. He then helped me get my pants up and led me to the sink. He turned on the faucet and instructed me to drink some water, which I did. After I drank he washed my face and dried me off with some paper towels.He asked me if I was ok and I said yes.I looked down and the kid's now soft dick, which was still hanging out of his pants. It had some of the white goo dripping off it. I reached down and put some on my finger and tasted it. "It's not so bad," I told him. "What is it?"It's cum, it's what comes out of guys dicks when they get sucked."I wiped some more cum off his dick a tasted it again."I like it. I guess I'll know what to expect next time."We both started laughing while he cleaned off his dick and put it back in his pants.We went outside and talked while he smoked a cigarette.He asked if I was Bill's kid and said he recognized me from the shop. I told him Bill was my uncle.He said, "Funny, I never figured you for gay.""What's gay," I asked?"Gay is guys who suck dick.""Oh, then I guess I must be gay" I said with a grin."That was your first time sucking dick, wasn't it?""Yea," I answered."Sorry, if I knew, I could have warned you about the cum.""It's cool, I'll know next time. Can I suck you again," I asked?He smiled and said "Sure, but let's keep it between you and me. Bill might not like it if he knew, ok?""OK," I promised"So, what's your name," he asked?"Danny, what's yours?""Mike" He answered.At that Mike mussed my hair, smiled and told me I was kewl. He then went back into Bill's shop, got his on his bike and rode off.To be continuedIf you like this story, you might enjoy reading my other story "Dude" from Feb. 20, 2009, listed in Science Fiction &

Foregoing Advice from Professional Advisors, Many Make Unrealistic Assumptions about Longevity, Home Equity and Inheritance
PARSIPPANY, NJ NOVEMBER 15, 2005 — Pre–retirees and retirees may be relying on assets they don't have to fund their retirement, according to MainStay Investments 2005 Across Generations Retirement Income Survey. When it comes to calculating the total dollars they will have in retirement, many are gleaning a false sense of security from projected assets—real estate appreciation, inheritance, future savings—that are speculative, at best.
"We've known for a long time that many investors—even those with a sizable net worth—are seriously under–funding their retirement savings; now we're beginning to get a better understanding as to why," notes Christopher Blunt, president of MainStay Investments, a division of New York Life Investment Management LLC.
Building on NYLIM's expertise in generational investing, MainStay Investments 2005 Across Generations Retirement Income Survey was created to gather data specific to retirement income issues. The survey, conducted in May 2005, polled 1,209 middle and high net worth Americans of pre– and post–retirement age on their retirement income needs, goals and use of financial professionals.
Great Expectations, But Pre–Retirees Face Significant Shortfalls
In addition to over–estimating their available assets by factoring in home equity, pre–retirees expect to have greater savings—and a higher net worth—than current retirees did when they retired. On average, today's pre–retirees are predicting retirement savings of roughly $1 million and a net worth of $1,534,000. Given that their current savings and net worth average $660,800 and $904,000 respectively, pre–retirees have quite a bit of ground to make up over the next few years.
"With retirement five or fewer years away, pre–retirees face a significant retirement shortfall," Blunt observed. "Today's pre-retirees seem to be basing their nest egg calculations on 'aspiration' rather than 'reality.' We are seeing a pattern of denial on the part of pre–retirees about how they actually expect to miraculously create this additional wealth in just a few years' time. These individuals need sound financial advice to help provide an accurate view of the future based on their investment portfolio and other financial holdings."
Financial Planning Not Matching Life Expectancy
"The life expectancy of today's 65–year old is estimated at 82 years for a man and 85 years for a woman," continued Blunt. "However, we need to remember that this is a just a median—for a healthy couple in their mid–60s, there is a 50% chance that one spouse will live to at least their 92nd birthday and outlive his or her assets."
Though retirees and pre–retirees are aware that they may live longer, and recognize that they don't want to run out of money, very few of them are actually financially planning to live longer.
Only one–third of pre–retirees "tried to match retirement savings and income to life expectancy," according to the survey. Less than one in four people retired 5+ years tried to match retirement savings and income to life expectancy. Similarly, one in five (19%) say they "plan to, but haven't yet" begun to try and match retirement savings and income to life expectancy.
"Though they plan on living longer, investors appear not to have prepared adequately for the financial burden those extra years will carry. Not only does a longer life expectancy mean assets have to support them for a longer period of time, but with healthcare costs rising at a rapid rate, they'll need to ensure that their portfolio protects against a significant loss of purchasing power in retirement," Blunt continued.
Betting It All On Real Estate
"When it comes to real estate, there is a gap between the assets many investors believe they have accumulated and the liquid assets that are actually available to them," said Blunt. "The real estate bubble and interest–only mortgages have given many pre– and post–retirees a false sense of retirement security."
On average, 44% of respondents cited the value of their home as their most important financial safety net. In addition, 27% of homeowners plan to fund their retirement by selling either their primary home or a vacation/investment property and 26% would do the same in an emergency.
Going At It Alone
Among active investors age 50 to 90, nearly 60% of current retirees and 50% of individuals who expect to retire within the next five years are developing their own short– and long–term financial plans rather than seeking the advice of a financial professional. When it comes to calculating the total dollars they will need to support themselves in retirement, a similar percentage of investors (44% of pre–retirees and half of current retirees) have figured out their income needs on their own, without the aid of a professional advisor.
While most respondents claim to have a financial plan for retirement, many admit they are informal, at best. Retirees are significantly more likely to have a financial plan than pre–retirees (81% vs. 69%). However, over 60% of these plans are informal, and/or unwritten. Approximately 15% of pre–retirees expect to create a plan in the near future, while nearly 18% in each demographic do not have or do not intend to create a financial plan.
"It's imperative that pre–retirees and retirees have sound financial plans, and have them in writing," continued Blunt. "Most have basic knowledge about products that are available for retirement such as IRAs and mutual funds, but they're lacking concrete advice on how to allocate their assets, or how to convert those assets into an income stream. It's not enough to comprehend the financial risks involved with longevity – people need to act on that risk and mitigate it through planning. It's also critical that their plans be based on realistic assumptions about current and future sources of income."
Among the survey's other key findings:
- Help Wanted: Pre–retirees are voicing a strong need for advice on how to generate a steady stream of income in retirement. One–third of pre– and current retirees feel they need help understanding "ways to convert savings into guaranteed income." Not surprisingly, then, nearly half (44%) of pre–retirees and 1–5 year retirees (46%) also say they need some or extensive help in understanding the features/benefits of income annuities.
- Inheritance: Will Today's Retirees Leave a Financial Legacy? Survey results show that pre–retirees and recent retirees are more interested in doing what they want without concern about leaving an inheritance, while older retirees are significantly more likely than their younger counterparts to want to pass money on to their heirs. Fully two–thirds of pre–retirees see retirement as a time to "do the things I want to do without concern about leaving an inheritance," compared with 56% of 1–5 year retirees and 47% of 5+ year retirees. Ironically, a sizable percentage of pre–retirees themselves expect to benefit from an inheritance. Nearly 1 in 4 pre–retirees (24%) list "inheritance" among their sources of retirement income, compared with 17% of recent retirees and 13% of 5+ retirees.
The first MainStay Investments 2005 Across Generations Retirement Income Survey was conducted by an online research firm in Summer 2005. The survey polled 1,209 individuals ages 50 to 90 focusing on three specific retirement segments. Pre–Retirees include respondents who expect to retire within five years. In addition, two segments of retirees were polled: 1–5 year Retirees who retired within the last five years, and 5+ Retirees who have been retired for more than five years. Respondents were U.S. residents with a total net worth of at least $100,000.

Olympus has the right idea with their new Stylus-9000 digital compact, and that is to put more optical zoom power into a smaller and more compact body. The idea that is driving their current line of compact ultrazooms is to offer an alternative to the bulkier DSLR-esque bodies (like their SP-590 and SP-570) and provide the photographer with a digital camera that is portable and less cumbersome while still retaining a lot of power. But with the sacrifice of things like a viewfinder and less real estate for the hand, does the Stylus-9000 cut it?
That question will be answered shortly, but the thing to know and like about the Stylus-9000 is what they want you to like, and that is the size and the telephoto range it provides. I tested the Stylus-9000 driving cross-country and I was able to test how it worked in different lighting scenarios and scenes with different contrasts.
The Stylus-9000 has quite a few different bells and whistles, including a 12 megapixel 1/2.33-inch CCD image sensor, a lens with a 10x optical zoom (28-280mm), dual image stabilization, Intelligent Auto, a 2.7 inch LCD, in-camera panorama stitching, face detection, and Shadow Adjustment Technology that helps bring out more detail in dark areas in the frame. With this all included in the Stylus-9000, you get the resolution, image stabilization and an ultra-portable camera that is begging to be taken along for an adventure, and that's just what I did.
The build of the Stylus-9000 is its strongest selling point, packing a 10x optical zoom in a compact camera that resembles a few models equipped only with a 3-5x zoom range. With a sunken-in and retractable lens that extends out when you start up the camera, the small width of the Stylus-9000 makes it easy to carry around in the palm of your hand, or to stow away in a bag when you're on the road.
Among some of its attractive features are the brushed-aluminum body, the HyperCrystal LCD screen, and its lens. Another nice feature, which seems to be more of a flavor of the year than the month, is iAuto shooting mode that automatically chooses the best camera settings for any scenario. This function, as I have seen in other cameras I have reviewed with this mode, seems to be easily fooled by diverse conditions, but more about the Olympus Stylus-9000's later.
Ergonomics and Controls
The first look at the surface and layout of the Stylus-9000 seems pretty standard to most digital cameras made in the past few years. The Stylus-9000 isn't out to revolutionize camera design, but it does try to create a compact body for camera with a lot of zoom power, which is done well with this model.
There is one design element that I find interesting, and mostly unattractive. The 2.7-inch LCD screen protrudes outward on the back of the camera, almost like a picture frame being attached to the back. It seems to serve as a way to keep the collapsible/retractable lens inside the camera.
The Stylus-9000 doesn't break new ground design-wise, but I rarely give much thought to a device in which its only function is to take a good picture, which should be prized above all else. As an Olympus rep once told me, it's about the image, not the megapixels, a statement that when applied to design would suggest that Olympus's first concern is for the image, not all the bells and whistles.
The controls, like I said, are very typical - shutter release, power and lens zoom lever on top. A mode dial that accesses different camera settings and a 4-way button that allows you to access quick functions like exposure, timer, flash and macro settings as well as menu control reside on the back panel of the camera.
As far as hand real estate is concerned, there is a thumb bar on the back and room for your right hand on the front of the camera that will accommodate larger hands. The layout makes sense from a classical standpoint, and won't be hard for new users to get the hang of using all the features within just a few minutes of using the Stylus-9000.
Menus and Modes
Olympus employs the same menu system they've offered on most of their digicams, which is an easy to access menu with sort of a low-rent visual, meaning that it is much more functional looking. However, there is one surprise, when you access the menu by clicking on its button on the back you get a colorful display that gives you icon choices, including Image Quality that allows you to choose image size and what sort of compression you want, the Camera Menu that lets you get to White Balance, ISO, etc.
Then there is the setup that takes you to things like Format and sound settings, and probably the coolest feature, Panorama, which allows you to stitch together three images. Scene Mode allows you to quickly access the different shooting modes, Reset allows you go back quickly to all the default settings, and Silent Mode lets you turn off the sounds of the camera, which is great when you want to make as little noise as possible when shooting (e.g. shooting sports).
The Stylus-9000 is not a camera that offers extensive user controls as it lacks manual settings. Here are some of the different shooting modes of the Stylus-9000:
Although the LCD protrudes a bit from the back end, the screen itself is accurate and vivid, pushing out 230,000-dots of resolution. It features a 5-step brightness control so you can choose the strength of the monitor's light.
The LCD employs HyperCrystal III technology, which is supposed to give you three times the brightness of their previous cameras. Overall, the monitor is accurate and balanced, and gives a pretty good playback of your captured images, although I did have some trouble identifying image blur in a few scenes, which I only found after I uploaded them to my computer.
The road east is filled with dramatic landscapes, and some of the most beautiful can be found in the American Southwest. I had the good fortune of driving cross-country while testing out the Stylus-9000, and got to see how it would handle such a diverse terrain. With the road starting in Venice Beach, CA, I made my northern route through Las Vegas, then onto Utah, which has some of the most beautiful vistas I have ever encountered.
Having the Stylus-9000 with me made taking good images possible with very little hassle. The Stylus-9000 is a great road camera, and proved itself adept at capturing the images the way I saw them.
Shooting Performance
The Olympus Stylus-9000 fires up quickly, all within a second or so, ready for any shot you may need to capture on the fly. As the lab results show, the Stylus-9000 is an above average performer when it comes to AF acquisition. It's at the top of its class at 0.47 seconds, and press-to-capture testing in the field proved to find focus at both telephoto and wide angles quickly.

* Note: Continuous shooting framerates are based on the camera's fastest full-resolution JPEG continuous shooting mode, using the fastest media type available (300x CF, SDHC, etc.). "Frames" notes the number of captures recorded per burst before the camera stops/slows to clear the buffer.
† Note: The Casio Exilim FH20 has no continuous shooting capabilities at full resolution (9 megapixels). It is, however, capable of shooting at 30 fps at a slightly reduced 8 megapixels. Given this relatively high resolution, we have included the FH20's continuous shooting numbers in our comparison.
The shutter lag shot to shot was right smack dab in the middle, with 0.02 seconds between each shot, a very impressive number. Continuous shooting captured, on average, 3 images non-stop at a 1.4 fps rating, making it a pretty average performer. With the AF being a fast and accurate contrast-based system, it wasn't as impressive in low-light conditions, giving me a lot of lens creep before it found focus, but was not a major issue since it's usually hard to find focus in bad lighting no matter what camera you're using.
The dual-image stabilization in the Stylus-9000 works satisfactorily. It's a combination of sensor-shift and high ISO settings, which is successful on the whole, but often produced an overexposed image at telephoto lengths when the high ISO was employed.
Flash on the Stylus-9000 is also satisfactory, giving you an effective range wide-angle of 17.7 feet and 9.8 feet at the telephoto end at, both at ISO 800. When trying it out, the recycle times were about 4.25 seconds between shots. The flash modes include Auto, Red-eye, Fill-in and Off.
Battery life on the Stylus-9000 is rated at about 250 shots, and I was able to capture about 233 images before the camera warned me. The CIPA rating is accurate and I was able to get off about 250 before the battery died. The Stylus-9000 uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
Lens Performance
The Stylus-9000 has a zoom range from 28-280mm (10x optical zoom power) in a retractable lens system with 9 lenses in 6 groups, with 5 aspherical lenses. The lens also allows you to tack on 5x in digital zoom power for an interpolated image. It has a maximum aperture of f/3.2 for wide-angle and f/5.9 telephoto, and is a standard aperture in this grade of camera.
With all the stats put aside, there were some concerns I had with the lens after shooting with it, including vignetting at wide-angles, lens flare and some artifacts in the midtones of my images, and the occasional purple fringes along the border of the images.
The question is, are these acceptable levels for the size of the CCD sensor? I expect to find these sorts of aberrations in my images with point-and-shoots, but the Stylus-9000 did really struggle on both the wide-angle and telephoto end of things, making it a disaster for pixel peepers who really want to scrutinize each pixel.
Video Quality
Video captured with the Stylus-9000 is basic VGA, otherwise known as standard-def, with a resolution 640x480 at 15/30 fps. I would prefer seeing HD video, though some of the cameras I have captured video with HD have proved to be muddy at best. So with that being said, the video was of good quality when played back on my monitor.
Image Quality
As exposure settings are limited in the Stylus-9000, the shooter is somewhat reliant on the camera to find the optimal ones. Out of the camera, the images had a very natural look to them, and were accurate, aside from the aberrations/artifacts I found.
One of the most frustrating things about processing in the Stylus-9000 is that you can only change the color and saturation in playback mode/edit menu. This means you have to rely on the default settings, instead of being able to go through the menu before you capture your image to change its properties. This only allows you to make the image black and white, sepia or a hard or soft saturation after the image is taken, not before. This is an unnecessary menu dive and sort of confusing and frustrating if you don't read the user manual carefully. Olympus now offers some of their creative art filters in their entry-level cameras, so it seems they've made an effort to put more pre-capture creative options in-camera with their most recent models.
As the exposure control is somewhat limited, you do have the ability to change white balance, but frustratingly there is no manual white balance setting. You can also control the ISO up to 1600, but at this high setting the grain and noise found aren't worth it unless you have no other option. You also have control over three forms of AF, including Single shot AF, Sequential and High-Speed for the continuous shooting mode. You also have little control over light metering with two options, including ESP that measures brightness throughout the entire frame, and Spot metering that allows you the meter light for a subject that is backlit.
Auto white balance worked sufficiently for most shooting situations, but was somewhat fooled in lower light conditions. But overall, using Auto white balance for most scenarios coupled with the ESP light metering mode gave me the image I wanted. I found that in high-contrast images where light and dark met, the images looked great with the Auto WB and ESP enabled, and I was pleasantly surprised with the my results. Even with its different issues, the Stylus-9000 reads contrast well.
Auto White Balance, 3200K Incandescent
The ISO performance really started to show image degradation once the camera was pushed past 400. With the range from the low ISO of 64 to 200 the images were fine, but once pushed past 400 to 1600 the images showed an increased amount of grain, while making 1600 in a studio shot look like it was taken in no light.
ISO 64, 100% crop |
ISO 100, 100% crop |
ISO 200, 100% crop |
ISO 400, 100% crop |
ISO 800, 100% crop |
ISO 1600, 100% crop |
There's always an issue of putting too many megapixel sites on a small CCD image sensor, making noise inherent in point-and-shoot cameras. ISO 800-1600 settings are usually a novelty and a last resort when all else fails, and are mostly unusable.
The Olympus Stylus-9000 finds itself in a category of camera just below the ultrazoom, but has just enough focal power to get itself out of the standard 3x zone. It aims to provide a broad spectrum of zoom range and 12 megapixels of high-resolution. The 12 megapixel club seems to the sweet spot where noise is filtered out because of larger pixel sites on DSLRs, but this mentality doesn't transfer well to the image sensor that is less than an inch on most point-and-shoots, including the Stylus-9000.
There is a lot to like about the Stylus-9000, including ease of use, the zoom power, iAuto function and quick AF. There are also some things that are less desirable, including little to no manual control over exposure settings, poor performance at high ISO sensitivities and the degradation found in some of the images.
With all things being considered, is the Stylus-9000 worth its price of $239 street? I took this camera with me on a three-day trip across the U.S. and never found a problem with it while snap shooting. This camera is geared for the casual shooter looking for focal power and full automatic controls and it doesn't demand all the precision of a more expensive camera with more manual control. The camera is a great travel companion, but it can't be pushed past the limits of a snap shooting camera. The Stylus-9000 is what it is, an entry-level to intermediate point-and-shoot with some cool features.

Sugar cookies in every seasonal shape - from snowflakes to Christmas trees, stars to Santa hats, snowmen to holly leaves - overcrowd the dessert table this time of year. Even Santa is crying "Uncle!" for a little variety by the time he reaches St. Louis.
This year, try adding a little New York attitude to the traditional cookie swap with black-and-white cookies, a staple of New York bakeries and deli counters.
More cake-like than cookie-like, this oversized sweet is downsized into a fantastically festive treat by pastry chef Stephanie Teekaram of Kutsher's Tribeca in, where else, New York City.
"Seinfeld" fans might remember the baked good being forever immortalized in the episode, "The Dinner Party."
"The thing about eating the black-and-white cookie, Elaine, is you want to get some black and some white in each bite," said Seinfeld. "Nothing mixes better than vanilla and chocolate, and yet, somehow racial harmony eludes us. If people would only look to the cookie all our problems would be solved."
In this season of good tidings, peace and goodwill toward all, harmony vis-à-vis a cookie is a welcome addition.
Black-and-White Cookies (Makes about 40 three-inch cookies)

For the chocolate glaze
For the vanilla glaze
Cooking Directions
My friend just told me about your blog. It looks great. I'm a big follower of "Cooking With Mr. C." on Facebook, which is also a blog. I now have the two of you to check out. Anne
P.S. He has a yummy Black and White Cookie
Perfectly done! Congrats are in order!
Brings back memories. Love the B&W cookie!
OMG black & white cookies were AMAZING! I remember only eating the white side though because I am a vanilla girl :)
Aaaaaand here's my look of surprise at THAT comment.
If only you knew me.
I'm black and I still only eat the white side. Vanilla is the best! :-) Flavors... no racial innuendo. lol

I have consulted on many nurseries for existing and Maternity Clothing wearing expecting parents. Listed here are 9 ideas to consider when designing a nursery for that newborn.
1. Crib Position: The crib ought to be put into the command position from the room. To stay in the command position, the place must have a look at the doorway but 't be in direct line using the door or on a single wall because the door. You will find as many as three command positions for any room, view this recent article concerning the command position of the mattress.
2. Flow of Chi: Make certain the doorway in to the nursery can open a complete 90 levels. This may mean no jackets or clothes hanging on the rear of the doorway. Also, make sure that you could easily move about within the space and open dresser drawers and closet doorways without any obstructions.
3. Color: Consider light colors to assuage and multiple colors to inspire the baby's development. Light blues, pinks and vegetables are suggested. Keep in your mind that the bed room and nursery are yin energy and really should be produced to relax and reviving.
4. Décor: Pay close focus on that which you hang above or around places that the infant stays a great deal of time. Don't place shelving over the crib or altering table as this can produce a downward pressure, lowering the baby's development. Additionally, there are the opportunity of heavy objects or shelves to fall.
5. Lighting & Ventilation: Make certain you've enough light throughout each area of the day and evening. Plant centers frequently do not have sufficient light, especially in the center of the evening when parents want to evaluate the infant. Personally, i recommend Himalayan Salt Rock lamps for that perfect evening light. It creates soft shades of pink, peach and orange, cordially lighting an area while infusing the area with negative ions to get rid of contaminants and adding chi or existence energy.
6. Development: To assist an infant develop motor abilities, consider buying an infant-safe mirror in the two-to-three-month stage.
7. Access: Make sure all products you utilize frequently - diapers, baby wipes, blankets, first aid necessities, etc. -- are available. You won't want to search for that thermometer in the center of the evening. Have a stock of diapers and baby wipes close at hands, with extra supplies inside a convenient place. Don't place these baby necessities in awkward spots, where other products fall you whenever you achieve on their behalf, or where you will need to stretch to the rear of a drawer or closet on their behalf. This just increases frustration once the most significant task will be gift for your child.
8. Electrical Overload: A large number of tech devices currently available assist you to monitor your child night and day. Nevertheless, keep electro-magnetic fields around your child's crib low. Including heart monitors, baby monitors, camcorders and multiple plugs inside an outlet choose which products you actually need and select items that provide multiple reasons. Also, give consideration to what's on the other hand from the wall because this might have an effect around the baby's development and sleep.
9. Parent's Room: Developing a nursery for that baby is definitely an exciting time. Once the baby arrives, the nursery can certainly continue in to the parent's room, particularly when an infant co-sleeps. Try to maintain your own bed room for relaxation, sleep and rejuvenation without enabling the nursery to consider within the room. You will be glad!

Water issues
All winter vegetables and fruits were getting a boost from sufficient supplies of water, which growers have not been able to count on during the droughts of recent seasons. Water tables in Sinaloa returned to normal levels in August, said Greg Cardamone, general manager of vegetables at Raleigh, N.C.-based L&M Cos. Inc.
The same was true in Sonora thanks to returning rainfall, said Bill Spence, sales manager at Sandia Distributors, Nogales. Crown Jewels Produce tries to limit water risk by working only with growers who have their own wells.
Watermelons and honeydews will come out of Sonora through mid-December. Just before New Year's, the southern crops kick in — Jalisco, Nayarit and Colima, said Brent Harrison, president of Al Harrison Co., Nogales.
But Harrison expects significant volume drops this year in places like Colima — perhaps as high as 25% — as growers there leave melons for more predictable profits in crops like sugar cane.
Squash and bell peppers
At Farmer's Best International, Rio Rico, Ariz., Italian, yellow and gray squash shipments were under way in October. The crop was normal and expected to go through June, said Steve Yubeta, vice president of sales. Farmer's Best started bell peppers in mid-November. The company will be packing European cucumbers again after a hiatus, and offering tomatoes on the vine for the first time.
Sandia Distributors started acorn, butternut, spaghetti, kabocha and banana squash by Oct. 26 and will offer those through winter.
Malena Produce, Rio Rico, planned to start colored bell peppers — mostly reds, but also yellow and orange — in southern Sonora in late November. On squash, it goes to December or January in Hermosillo before heading south through March.

The scoring guard duo of Chris Denson and KT Harrell led all scorers in points, with Denson scoring 30 and Harrell adding 26. It was the most the two have combined to score in a game this season.
"That dynamic duo stuff, I take that to the heart," Denson said. "With us trying to be number one, I strive for that. We're like best friends."
Denson, the SEC's leading scorer, was 6-of-11 from the field but made 13-of-14 free throws in the victory. The senior is averaging 26.6 points per game in the Tigers' last six contests.
Auburn (12-11, 4-8 SEC) fell behind and trailed for portions of the first half, but the Tigers closed the final five minutes of the half on a 15-2 run and led 40-25 at the break.
The Tigers held a double digit lead for the majority of the second half, with the Bulldogs (13-12, 3-9 SEC) never managing to cut the deficit to any less than eight points.
Referees whistled the two teams for 59 fouls and they combined to shoot 77 total free throws in the game.
Auburn has shot 70 percent from the charity stripe so far this season but went 37-of-41 on Saturday afternoon.
"I'm proud of our guys for stepping up and making 90 percent from the free throw line," said Auburn head coach Tony Barbee.
It was a bounce back game for Harrell, who was coming off the worst performance of his Auburn career after scoring just seven points on 2-of-15 shooting against Kentucky earlier in the week.
"I'm a really confident person so I know I had a bad game," Harrell said. "It's not about one game defining you, it's about how you bounce back that defines you. I came in focused and ready to play."
The junior has made just seven of his last 34 three point attempts but said it is important to remain confident through the tough times.
"I'm a shooter and shooters go through slumps sometimes, but the important thing is to remain confident and keep shooting," Harrell said. "That's what the team needs me to do."
In support of Denson and Harrell, senior forward Allen Payne had 14 points and four assists while freshman point guard Tahj Shamsid-Deen contributed 10 points.
"This has got to be a team that is more than just Chris Denson and KT Harrell," Barbee said. "There are some other guys that we have to get playing better too."
Auburn will look to make it two victories in a row Wednesday when the Tigers travel to Gainesville, Fla. to take on the No. 3 Florida Gators (22-2, 11-0 SEC). Tip-off is scheduled for 6 p.m.
