Lian Li Has Created a Case You Can Mount on the Wall: The PC-05S

Techspot posted a review of the unreleased Lian Li PC-05S case over the weekend, and as you can see it's a lot more interesting than the generic name might suggest.
The case features aluminum construction (of course - it's a Lian Li!) and a tempered glass side to showcase the build. And what better way to show off a build than hanging it on the wall like a picture? Well, the reviewer didn't show this but the case is described as a "wall mountable open-air chassis" by Lian Li on their site. Overall, Techspot liked the PC-05S and called it "a beautiful case that is well-designed inside and out".
Looks great on a desk!
At just over 14 lbs (without components) this will require some planning to mount on a wall. The dimensions (WHD) are 15.1" x 18.3" x 5.8", and it has a similar layout to Steam Machine cases like the SilverStone RV01 which we reviewed back in January. Like the RV01, the PC-05S requires a mini-ITX motherboard and orients the GPU at a 90° angle (via an included ribbon adapter) to fit in such a slim enclosure. The PC-05S also requires an SFX power supply (such as the SilverStone SX600-G we reviewed recently) and supports 240mm radiators.
Many more photos and full specs are available on the main product page, and the Lian Li PC-05S is slated for a February 2015 release. The cost? $319.
E3 2014: SteamBoy Project Is Not a Valve Product

To be doubly clear, if the title was not explicit enough, this announcement is not made by Valve. This company is called, "SteamBoy Machine team". If not a hoax, this is one of the many Steam Machines which are expected to come out of the SteamOS initiative. Rather than taking the platform to a desktop or home theater PC (HTPC) form-factor, this company wants to target the handheld PC gaming market.

If it comes out, that is a clever use of SteamOS. I can see Big Picture Mode being just as useful on a small screen as it is on a TV, especially with its large font and controller navigation. The teasers suggest that it will use the haptic feedback-based touchpads which Valve are expected to base the Steam Controller on. It will also include a 5-inch touchscreen.
The Escapist got into contact with the team and received a few more specs:
- Quad-Core CPU (x86)
- 32GB built-in storage
Even if this company does not make good on their expectations, companies will now be considering portable SteamOS devices. This is the sort of outside-the-box thinking that Valve was pushing for when they wanted to create an open platform. Each party will struggle to win in their personal goals, yet they can also rely on the crowd (other companies or individuals) to keep up in areas where they do not want an edge.
Philosophy aside, the company is targeting 2015 with a "Standard Edition" supporting WiFi and 3G. It would make sense to have a WiFi-only model, but who knows.
E3 2014: Alienware Alpha Announced with HDMI In and Out
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Shows and Expos | June 11, 2014 - 02:44 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Steam Machine, E3 14, E3, dell, alienware alpha, alienware
While "Steam Machines" are delayed, Alienware will still launch their console form-factor PC. The $550 price tag includes a black Xbox 360 wireless controller (with receiver) and Windows 8.1 64-bit. Alienware has also designed their own "Console-mode UI" for Windows 8.1, which can be navigated directly with a controller. It will ship Holiday 2014.
Apparently PC-based consoles equate to dubstep and parkour.
About the "Console-mode UI", it will apparently be what the user sees when the Alpha boots. The user can then select between Steam Big Picture, media, and programs. They also allow users to boot into the standard Windows 8.1 interface.
As for its specifications:
Base Model ($550) | Upgrade Options | |
Processor | Haswell-based Intel Core i3 | Core i5, Core i7 (user accessible) |
GPU | "Custom" Maxwell-based, 2GB GDDR5 (see next paragraph) |
(none) (not user accessible, soldered on) |
System Memory | 4GB at 1600 MHz | 8GB (user accessible) |
HDD | 500GB SATA3 | 1TB or 2TB (user accessible) |
Wireless | Dual-band 802.11ac | (user accessible) |
Included Accessories |
The GPU is not specified, or even given a similar part to refer to. PC World claims that it will be comparable to the performance found on the two next-gen consoles. Since the 750 Ti has around 1.3 TeraFLOPs of performance, this GPU is probably near that, or slightly above it. PC Gamer says that it will be based on mobile Maxwell, so it might be similar to an current or upcoming laptop GPU.
One thing that has not been addressed is the HDMI-in port. We know that it supports passthrough for low latency, but we do not know what it will do with the input video. Alienware has several of these set up at their booth on the show floor, so we might hear more soon. While its specifications are a bit on the light side, particularly on the default amount of RAM (although that is easily and cheaply upgraded), its $550 price, which includes a wireless controller and its adapter, is also pretty good.
Digital Storm Releases the Bolt II: Steam Machine!
Subject: Systems | January 7, 2014 - 05:08 AM | Josh Walrath
Tagged: CES, steam os, Steam Machine, Steam Controller, small form factor, dual boot, Digital Storm, CES 2014, Bolt 2
Today Digital Storm has announced the Bolt 2 small form factor computer. This little number is marketed as a "Steam machine", and for very good reasons. This particular number packs in quite a punch in a very small space.
The custom designed case has a very effective and logical layout. It really is quite small, but it is very strong and robust. It can handle a micro-ITX board, multiple drives, and a dual slot graphics card. The system I saw was decked out with a GTX 780 Ti along with the Intel i7 4770K. It includes Digital Storm's proprietary lighting and cooling module which of course controls the lighting… and cooling fan speed for the system.
Cooling is primarily based on the Corsair H100i dual fan unit. This portion takes air from one side/top of the case (depending on orientation) and then vents it through the rest of the chassis. The graphics card takes air from the other side of the case and routes it out the back. This cooling solution allows a fair amount of overclocking to be attempted by the end user, but it does have limitations as compared to a larger system with more airflow.
The design utilizes a 700 watt power supply, which is pretty impressive considering the space constraints that Digital Storm has to deal with. A lot of work with partners has allowed them to include this very small unit with a pair of 30 mm fans at either end. One would expect such fans to produce a LOT of noise. This is happily not the case. The design is good enough, and efficient enough, that at higher loads (including overclocking) it stays very quiet.
The system is very accessible, far more than most would expect. Anyone that has worked on an older small form factor case will testify as to how annoying and contorted setting up hardware (or swapping it out) can be. Digital Storm again took their time with the design to make sure that installation and the changing of components is as simple as possible. A person armed with a screwdriver can get to any major component in a few seconds. Swapping out the video card would take the amount of time of removing four screws, unplugging the power, and making sure not to rip out the PCI-E 16X ribbon connecting the card to the board.
Prices for the unit start at $1500 and go above $2500, depending on component choices. When Valve finalizes the Steam OS and has it ready for prime time, Digital Storm will be including the Steam controller with the build.

CES 2014: CyberPowerPC Steam Machine Series Coming In 2H 2014
Subject: General Tech, Systems | January 6, 2014 - 11:53 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: steambox, steam os, Steam Machine, Cyberpower, CES 2014, CES
Today, CyberPowerPC announced its series of SteamOS-powered Steam Machines. Set to be available in the second half of this year, the Steam Machine series will come in several customizable models ranging in price from $499 to $699.
All models share a custom Steam Machine gaming case, a 500GB 7200RPM mechanical hard drive, 8GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1600MHz, Valve's Steam OS, and a bundled Steam Controller. From there, the systems differ by processor, graphics, and networking hardware.
On the low end, the $499 CyberPowerPC Steambox is powered by a dual core AMD A6-6400K Richland APU clocked at 3.9GHz, a Radeon R9 270 graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 memory, and a Mini-ITX motherboard with 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.
Stepping up to the $699 mark gets you Intel and NVIDIA hardware in the form of a dual core/quad threaded Intel Core i3-4330 CPU clocked at 3.5GHz and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 with 2GB of GDDR5 memory. The networking is also upgraded to 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0.
The chassis is a white case with black front panel and green LEDs. A Valve logo is on the top of the case. It certainly has a gaming console look that should sit well in your entertainment center. The front of the case has three USB 3.0 ports and two audio jacks. Personally, I look at the case and am reminded of classic cartridge-loading game consoles due to the cutout/depressed gray accent.
As always, stay tuned to PC Perspective for more information as it becomes available!

CES 2014: iBUYPOWER Announces SBX Steam Machine
Subject: General Tech | January 6, 2014 - 09:00 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: SteamOS, steambox, Steam Machine, ibuypower, CES 2014, CES
The onslaught of Steam Machine launches at CES in Las Vegas continues with a new living room friendly PC from iBUYPOWER called the SBX. This new Steambox runs Valve's Steam OS and has a stylish horizontal mini-ITX form factor. The case is either matte black or white and features a horizontal LED strip that wraps around the left, front, and right sides of the PC. Further, a stamped/imprinted Valve logo adorns the top panel.
The company has not released the exact specifications of the SBX, but it will utilize a multi-core CPU from Intel or AMD (depending on SKU) along with an AMD graphics card. IBUYPOWER claims that its upcoming Steambox was designed as a living room gaming device first, and is capable of at 60FPS sustained gaming at HD resolutions.
The SBX will come bundled with a Steam Controller as well, allowing gamers to jump straight into couch gaming upon hooking up the Steam Machine (and downloading the games of course, heh).
The iBUYPOWER SBX will be available later in 2014 with a starting price of $499. the starting price gets you the base SBX and a Steam Controller Unfortunately, that is all the information available. Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more details as they are released!
What are your thoughts on the newly announced Steam Machines from CES so far?

Small form factor cases and the push to Mini ITX designs took a dramatic journey during 2013 as the popularity of the smaller PC once again became a popular trend. Though a company like Shuttle, that hardly exists in the form it did in 2004, was the first PC hardware company to really drive home the idea of an SFF system design, many other players have released compelling products helping to strengthen it as one of the unique possibilities for enthusiast PCs.
Even better, though a Mini-ITX based platform could mean limited options for hardware and performance, with companies like ASUS, EVGA, BitFenix and others in the mix, building an incredibly fast and powerful gaming machine using small hardware is not only easy but can be done at a lower price than you might expect.
One entry that found its way to our offices this December comes from Silverstone in the form of the Raven Z, RVZ01 case. This case includes unique features and capabilities including the ability to support nearly any high end graphics card on the market (dual slot or single), space for larger heatsinks and even liquid coolers along with a home theater friendly look and style. Oh, and it's the same almost the same design that Valve used for its beta Steam Machines as well. (Update: Turns out the size of the Steam Machine is actually a fair bit smaller than the Silverstone RVZ01.)

A not-so-simple set of instructions
Valve released to the world the first beta of SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system built specifically for PC gaming, on Friday evening. We have spent quite a lot of time discussing and debating the merits of SteamOS, but this weekend we wanted to do an installation of the new OS on a system and see how it all worked.
Our full video tutorial of installing and configuring SteamOS
First up was selecting the hardware for the build. As is usually the case, we had a nearly-complete system sitting around that needed some tweaks. Here is a quick list of the hardware we used, with a discussion about WHY just below.
Gaming Build | |
Processor | Intel Core i5-4670K - $222 |
Motherboard | EVGA Z87 Stinger Mini ITX Motherboard - $257 |
Memory | Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1866 MHz (2 x 4GB) - $109 |
Graphics Card | NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB - $999 EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB SuperClocked - $349 |
Storage | Samsung 840 EVO Series 250GB SSD - $168 |
Case | EVGA Hadron Mini ITX Case - $189 |
Power Supply | Included with Case |
Optical Drive | Slot loading DVD Burnder - $36 |
Peak Compute | 4,494 GFLOPS (TITAN), 3,213 GFLOPS (GTX 770) |
Total Price | $1947 (GTX TITAN) $1297 (GTX 770) |
We definitely weren't targeting a low cost build with this system, but I think we did create a very powerful system to test SteamOS on. First up was the case, the new EVGA Hadron Mini ITX chassis. It's small, which is great for integration into your living room, yet can still hold a full power, full-size graphics card.
The motherboard we used was the EVGA Z87 Stinger Mini ITX - an offering that Morry just recently reviewed and recommended. Supporting the latest Intel Haswell processors, the Stinger includes great overclocking options and a great feature set that won't leave enthusiasts longing for a larger motherboard.

iBuyPower Steam Machine: $499?

Tagged: amd, r9 270, Steam Machine, SteamOS
I cannot see how they will be making any money at this but, next year, iBuyPower will launch their first Steam Machine. At the price of $499, the same as an Xbox One, you will get an AMD CPU bundled with a discrete Radeon R9 270 graphics card.
Image Credit: The Verge
Oh, and Valve's controller will be included in that price.
Sure, they can save money on the free operating system, but that still looks pretty awesome. In terms of actual dimensions, the case is said to be between the size of the PS4 and the Xbox one. Frankly, if you like the look of home theater appliances, this could be a nice twist on that aesthetic. It will also come with a 500GB hard drive. Don't worry, though: it is a PC. If there is a USB 3.0 port anywhere on it, you can attach a giant drive for your games.
And the power supply is internal, too!
iBuyPower is expected to ship this device at some point in 2014 along with a wave of other Steam Machines. Prepare for many of these innovations to come out of CES.
(The Verge) Valve's Steam Machine and Steam Controller
Subject: General Tech, Systems, Shows and Expos | November 4, 2013 - 03:36 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: valve, Steam Machine, steam os, CES 2014
I guess The Verge, with its Steam Machine photos, prove all three next-gen consoles (trollolol) are designed to look like home theater devices. Of course you will never be able to purchase a Steam Machine from Valve but, since they are releasing their CAD files, I am sure at least one Steam Machine will be exactly to reference spec.
Image Source: The Verge
And, for the record, I think the reference enclosure is classy. Living room appliances suit a lot better than kitchen ones.
On a serious note: pictures of the internals. The beta Steam Machines will contain full desktop components aligned in such a way that each has its own sector to breathe from. The hottest parts intake and exhaust as far away from one another as possible. This makes the chassis relatively wide and short: a video card's length, in depth; about 3 expansion slots, tall; and about 3 PCIe cards height, wide. The actual measurements are 12" x 12" x 3" (W x D x H).
Photo Credit: The Verge
This is mostly possible because the GeForce Titan GPU is mounted upside-down and parallel with the motherboard. I have never experienced a 90-degree PCIe extension slot but, according to Josh Walrath, this is a common accessory in servers (especially 1U and 2U racks). The Titan intakes downward into a relatively unoccupied section of the case and exhausts out the back.
The Verge also had some things to say about the Steam Controller. The design motivations are interesting but I will leave that discussion to the original article (this news post will be long enough when I'm done with it). There are two points that I would like to bring up, though:
The first is a clarification of the original Steam Controller announcement: Valve will produce and sell Steam Controller on its own. This was originally a big question mark as it could water down how "reference" Valve's controller actually is. With Valve taking all-the-reins, the hardware looks more set in stone.
Will Valve still allow OEMs to learn from their design? Who knows.
The second is also interesting.
What Valve left out of the Steam Controller is almost as intriguing as what went in. Though Valve co-founder Gabe Newell told us that the company wanted to put biometric sensors into game controllers, the team discovered that hands weren't a good source of biofeedback since they were always moving around. However, the team hinted to me — strongly — that an unannounced future VR headset might measure your body's reaction to games at the earlobe. Such a device could know when you're scared or excited, for instance, and adjust the experience to match.
Seeing Google, Valve, and possibly Apple all approach content delivery, mobile, home theater, and wearable computing... simultaneously... felt like there was a heavy link between them. This only supports that gut feeling. I believe this is the first step in a long portfolio integrating each of these seemingly unrelated technologies together. We should really watch how these companies develop these technologies: especially in relation to their other products.
Stay tuned for CES 2014 in early January. This will be the stage for Valve's hardware and software partners to unbutton their lips and spill their guts. I'm sure Josh and Ryan will have no problems cleaning it all up.

[IMAGE]The-Gap-Rap-full-1.jpg[/IMAGE]The MTA Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) recently released a public service video targeting gap safety via an entertaining rap performance.The public service video features "The Gap Rap", written by and co-starring LIRR's Medical Director Dr. John Clarke.During his nearly four-minute video, Dr. Clarke exhorts customers to be aware of their surroundings as they travel on the railroad. The fast moving, LIRR-produced rap video features Dr. Clarke, wearing his physician's white coat, leading a group of fifth graders from Lindell School in Long Beach as they travel on the LIRR, in Manhattan, and on Long Island, all the while harmonizing to the beat as they remind us to "Look down, step over and watch the gap."LIRR President Helena Williams said, "Dr. Clarke's innovative approach will help the LIRR continue to spread the word about gap safety. I'm hopeful this unique video will keep our gap message fresh and reach a wide audience, especially our younger travelers."Dr. Clarke, who captured wide media attention for his award-winning public service announcement H1N1 Flu Rap, was enthusiastic about his new video, "I recognize that gap accidents are quite preventable. I knew that Health-Hop would be a perfect way to spread the message and make an impact."So far in 2010 the LIRR has experienced a reduction in year-to-date (January 1-July 1) reported gap incidents of 15 percent (2010-33 gap incidents vs. 2009-39 gap incidents).Dr. Clarke's video is the latest effort by the LIRR to raise awareness of the gap and to help assure that the traveling public safely steps over this necessary space between trains and station platforms. Railroad initiatives have included special Be Train Smart brochures, posters, signs, and celebrity gap announcements at stations and by train crews.The railroad has also made a concerted effort to reduce the gap through engineering and operating solutions. Since 2007, more than 121,000 linear feet of one-inch platform edging board has been installed at LIRR stations to help reduce the horizontal gap. In addition, where necessary, measures to reduce vertical platform gaps an average of three inches have been taken at 42 stations. Some 836 train cars have also been retro-fitted with two-inch threshold plates marked "Watch The Gap," further reducing the gap space.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I loved everything about these invites, I used them for my wedding with a picture of my fiance and me and then a picture of our daughter, and then one of us as a family. It worked perfect and fit the theme amazingly. The pictures were crystal clear, and printed beautifully. My order even came in a week earlier then was estimated. they were quick and professional."
"Our invitations are gorgeous and everything we wanted them to be. Not only is the design itself beautiful, every member of the WeddingPaperDivas team was so helpful with the customization process. You really can do anything!!"
"We wanted a single card invitation and was happy to find this one! Got married in the fall yet we did not want fall colors but eggplant... this design had both the color and the leaves design. Single card on quality card stock. We added our own additional info about website etc.with a label on the back. We were also able to change the front text. The design team was very helpful. Invites commented often on how lovely the invitation was and even wore the color scheme to the wedding. Also using the thank you cards in the suite. Very happy with Wedding Paper Divas!"
"The invites came within a week of ordering them! I was so excited to open the box!! The cards were just like they were on the computer and the added sparkle, i loved it! Sophisticated and such a quick response from the WPD team! I also ordered the antique gold envelopes and they match perfectly!"
"Extremely happy with the service. They specifically put you with one artist to custom design your order and are able to get ahold of easily so that you are not going from person to person. I sent them a picture of the bridesmaids dresses for colour and they matched the invitations perfectly. I honestly believe these are the nicest wedding invitations I have yet to see. Overwhelmed with appreciation for the effort put into these cards. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas. Thank you Janette who worked on my invitations, they are very well done and are very specific to what I was looking for!"

Sleeps | 4 |
Bedrooms | 2 |

Property type | townhome |
Konrurian Machiya residence Inn offers you a great opportunity to experience the local atmosphere of Kyoto!
The townhouse can accommodate up to 4 people, making it perfect for couples, families, and trips with a small group or friends.
The roof and latticed bay windows are the first images to catch the eye. The Koshido or latticed door opens to unveil the Miseniwa or entrance way, which leads to the Hashiriniwa or long external hallway. The earthen floors that line the hallway connects the front entrance with the old Japanese style kitchen. The rooms of the Machiya are divided into three areas- the Misenoma, Nakanoma, and Okunoma. These rooms lead to the Tsuboniwa or Japanese garden. Although compact in size, all of the attributes of a Kyoto Machiya have been meticulously restored to make you feel as though you stepped back in time.
In the olden times, the Misenoma was the area of the house, where guests were officially greeted. During those days, the Machiya acted as both a workplace and home. This room was used for business transactions, hence the word 'Mise' means "store." The wooden doors of the Misenoma entrance way open to reveal the traditional Japanese Ajiro or wickerwork ceiling, and Japanese alcove. Here you can enjoy the interplay of shadow and light from the world beyond the lattice door.
Daidokoro or kitchen:
The Tori-niwa breezeway hallway and earthen floors recreate the design of a traditional Kyoto Machiya. In this hallway is the kitchen which utilizes components of a deconstructed Japanese-style chest of drawers. The Hibukuro or high ceiling of the kitchen once served as a chimney. The historic walls remind visitors of the soot stains that once lined the walls from the hot air and smoke that wafted from the kitchen. Now, rays of light penetrate from the high skylight windows stirring the imagination. To stay warm in the cold months, the earthen floors are fully equipped with a heating system for your comfort.
The Nakanoma traditionally served as a kitchen, dining, and living room. Located in the heart of the home, it was the busiest room with members of the family arranging food on the tatami mats. The room has been restored to bring back memories of this simple, joyful time.
The Okunoma is a quiet, serene area to relax. Natural light and a gentle breeze pour in from the adjacent Tsuboniwa garden. The modern Japanese-style sofa makes the cozy Okunoma a perfect place to reminisce over memories of your trip over a cup of hot green tea or coffee. In the back is a fully equipped bathroom with sink, toilet, washer, dryer, and bathtub overlooking the quaint Tsuboniwa garden.
Second floor western bedroom :
The high ceiling showcases the large and sturdy beam that has held up the house for years. The wooden floors have been lacquered using the Fuku-urushi method, where lacquer is rubbed on to the wood, and excess Urushi, or lacquer, is wiped off (fuku). This process is painstakingly repeated a number of times so that the natural wood grains stand out. Even in this small area, the traditional techniques of Japanese architecture that date back to ancient times are on full display. We have selected some of the finest bedding for the twin beds to make your stay as comfortable as possible. To create a larger space, simply open the door to the adjacent Japanese room. The view of the kitchen from the Hibukuro or high ceiling is something that you can only experience at a genuine Machiya.
Second floor Japanese-style bedroom:

This is a joke. All I can figure is the league wanted to give the Pats a loss for that so-called cheating incident but couldn't so the refs have been instructed to "throw the game" in favor of the Colts today to make up for it. I mean I'm trying not to be biased towards the Pats but I have watched almost every game this year and they couldn't be this bad regarding penalties and have the other team (the Colts) do nothing wrong. This truly sucks.

The Trinity Study and Portfolio Success Rates
4 comments:
- AnonymousFebruary 8, 2012 at 1:22 PM
Wade –
This table of yours makes me shout both "YES!" and "NO!"
YES, because it reinforces a conclusion that I'm getting from similar testing with Monte Carlo. So thanks for preparing and showing it.
NO, because it has such a depressing message for the population whose options I'm looking at, folks whose wealth is not sufficient for decent retirement years at 4%. There are tens of millions who are or will be in that position, many despite trying to plan prudently based on reasonable job and home-equity assumptions which recent economic events have shattered . . .
The numbers say that as you raise the withdrawal rate above 4%, success probabilities drop FAST. Arrghh.
For many folks, it will be desirable to consider the kind of information in your table or a Monte Carlo equivalent, and also look at mortality tables – and then maybe choose something like all-stocks with 7% withdrawal rate, taking some risk of a povertous end in order to have a decent retirement life all or most of the way.
I think we have responsibility to show them these options.
Dick PurcellRepliesDick,
Thank you. You and I have talked a lot about concerns with the Trinity study. I will be getting to those. But I'm trying to start again from first principles.
But what you are writing, about how the success rates drop rapidly as the withdrawal rate rises above 4%, is quite scary. Even for someone who places their faith in the study, there isn't much margin for error. Then again, if it wasn't for that pesky 1959-1974 period (see Figure 2.1), 5% wouldn't have been hit so hard.
Next Tuesday my review of "Risk Less and Prosper" will be coming out at Advisor Perspectives. Zvi Bodie would VEHEMENTLY disagree with your solution for many folks. I'm still working through this all myself and haven't developed an opinion yet. But certainly I can agree that people should be aware of all the options, and what you are suggesting is one extreme option. The opposite extreme option would be to take whatever you've got and build a TIPS ladder or buy an inflation-adjusted single premium fixed annuity. And then there are various possibilities in between.
Thanks as always for commenting! Wade
Great presentation. What if you considered a bucket approach your portfolio mix. Instead of setting 25% bonds, you set X years of living in bonds and the rest in stocks. What would be the optimum X. The percentage would migrate from say 10% Bonds to up to 100% bonds when I'm 85 or 90. My simple study showed that the probability of making a profit increased with time to a critical point (or knee) at about 100 months (S&P 500) to about 95% based upon historical data. Where the slope of the curve changed from a more vertical to almost horizontal.
ReplyDeleteExcellent Work. The great gamble of course are the black swans that can occur throughout the retirement period. Ebola, Civil Unrest, Personal tragedies to name a few. The risks we will face in 20 years are impossible to imagine now.
Time, however is a currency that cannot be earned it can only be spent. The risk in retiring early and spending time doing the things you love is priceless. Money cannot replace the joys of free time.
Your post, offers hope to those like me working hard towards financial independence. Thanks for your work! - ResilientMan.com

How true, even where I live. |
Mother Nature has never learned to "practice moderation in all things", IMO! It's usually either too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry, rarely "just right". Guess that's why the poem says, "What is so rare as a day in June?" Nice poem, Lilo. |

Nice poem about the summer solstice. I certainly can identify with the topic and the sentiments that you wrote. Spring was defenitely MIA this year. |
Loved it. It was a strange spring for all. We fried in heat or drowned in rain. I was celebrating the soltice today and wondering what summer would bring. I cannot complain about spring.........our property looks like a tropical rainforest and the mornings and evenings are ethereal in the mist. But, having gardened all my life, I'm having to just play it by ear this year as it seems like Earth Mother just threw out the rule book. ;-) |

This definitely was a strange spring. Some things never had a chance to bloom, some did twice and some are missing. Love your poem. With all the rain we had, sluggs should be in abundance. The birds are missing their morning treat under the birdbath, a surefire way to find some. Not a one to found, nor in the hostas or anywhere else. Asked my son who has a slugg haven back by the alley, has not seen any this year either. |
The slugs drowned ;-) |

A very nice highlighter that gives a healthy glow. Leaves a slightly rosy flush on me. Must have a light hand or you are going to blind people with your shiny cheeks. Really wanna try the beige and brownie now :) EDIT: I swapped this away, it made me look red.
I had lost interest in BB Shimmerbricks long ago when they first came out and I bought Beige and Pink because they were so pretty in the pan. I used them as eyeshadow only because they were so OTT shimmery. So many others have come out since then and none have piqued my interest until this one. Pink Quartz (aka: The Shimmerbrick That Was Made For Me) has the perfect amount of neutral brown and pink...just the perfect balance that compliments my NC35 skintone - I am warm with pink tones so it's hard to find the perfect neutral highlighter b/c so many are too warm. And the texture is great and not OTT b/c of the muted shades involved so I can brush it on my cheeks with my MAC 188 without worry. This is gorgeous and perfect and is such an easy eyeshadow also - my lids but better. I'm in lurve.

Love this! I owned the regular Pink Shimmerbrick many years ago and just thought it was so-so, but bought this recently and am really glad I did. The trick really is to use it as a finisher, in my opinion, over blush or contour. It leaves a beautiful wash of shimmer that just enhances the glow from the products beneath, and really brings your whole look from a 10 to a 10+.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this Shimmerbrick! It's the perfect blend of colors. I have a Shimmerbrick in Beige and in Brownie, and I really like the beige, but not the Brownie, it makes my face look sunburnt! Definitely not attractive... Anyhoo, more about Pink Quartz. As I said before, it's the perfect blend of colors, not too pink, not to brown/beige, just perfect. I sweep this on over Bobbi's powder blush in Blushed, and it's just a beautiful, healthy glow. I really hope Bobbi changes her mind about this being LE, although I see this lasting a long time, so it's worth the initial cost.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Bobbi Brown is the s#!!!! these days--- wow- Pink Quartz is awesome.... especially after metallics.... lately she has been having the best shades ever!!!!!!
Wow. Just wow. This stuff makes my face glow the way no other blush does. I have this weird orangy skin tone (due to being asian and having slightly ruddy skin) and I've never been a fan of blush because I'd have to put so much on and then it'd be too much. But wow, a few sweeps of this stuff and I get a nice slightly pink glow to my cheeks. I'm using it as a blush but I also used it on top of one of my existing blushes and it made it look far more natural too. Its so wonderful and I can see it working w/ almost every skin tone. I agree w/ a previous poster when they said it looks kind of fake up up close - like you have a thin shimmery/plastic-ey sheen on your skin. But from medium - far distance I've never seen anything look more natural and healthy on me. I don't wear makeup (except for concealer) on any sort of regular basis but I've been putting this stuff on every day because I love the way it looks. You can also use your fingers to pick up the individual colors for a very subtle highlight.
If you're one of those "less is more" people like I am, this is *definately* worth getting a look at. Its also limited edition and flying off the shelves apparently. I hope BB makes it permanent someday. I went back for a second one the day after I bought the first (I have never stocked up on anything before) even though it was 50 bucks from Holt Renfrew in Canada. HG worty and it'll look fantastic for the holidays.

I like this product. I dont know if i would rave about it, but its nice. I own the Shimmerbricks in the original bronze and rose. I returned the rest as too frosty or not pigmented. This one is kinda right between bronze and rose. Its got a couple of shimmery pale pink stripes and a couple shimmery bronzey stripes and a champagne shimmer strip. It gives me this sunkissed suntan look with a hint of pink. The shimmer isnt too silver or too gold and doesnt look as garish as some of the shimmer in some of the other shades. That being said, this could stand to have a little more pigment to it. Nonetheless, i still get a nice sunkissed look with this on my nc30 light olive complexion. retails for $38 and comes in a black compact.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It's my first shimmer brick and I totally love it. Over my pink blush, it's a very subtle pinky warm glow that is not over the top. I wear it in the day and got complimented on how much fairer I looked. I like the dewy glow that it imparts on my cheeks. Best of all, the glow stays on for the whole day. On the eyes, it's also a very subtle highlight to brighten the eyes. Very nice product and I'm tempted to try the other bricks...
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My first shimmerbrick and I love it. I wasn't looking for this at Bobbi Brown but was instead interested in their Pot Rouge. The MUA layered this over the Pot Rogue in Powder Pink and wow! Together they're gorgeous. It highlights my cheekbones and gives a slightly soft focus look to my pale skin while warming my skin up. Definitely a rebuy for me and I'm even thinking about stocking up.

I love this!! I'm wearing it during the day by itself and at night I wear pale pink pot rouge under it. Amazing!! So much better than Rose.

Many animales running wild. A pretty area with great photo opps. The singing cowboy kept us interested with his many stories and songs.
On an early August morning, seven hikers set out from River Ranch near Lake Wales for a four-and-a-half mile hike in the woods at KICCO Wildlife Management Area. Morning dew lit up the numerous spider webs and made our shoes damp, and the hot sun hadn't reached its "boiling point," but we were armed with sunscreen and water bottles nonetheless.... More
Kicco is a great trail to go down. Seeing all the wildlife and animals is a blessing
The level and easy trail, actually an unpaved but graded road leads you through typical Florida flora - past live oak, conifers and palmetos, among others. The trail then takes hikers to open grassland with grazing cattle, across canals and finaly to the Kissimmee riv. You'll see myriad birds, and if you're lucky, also gators - we did, coming across...

Putting the basics in place to sustain working under pressure
21st January 2015
Going 'back to basics' is now a bit of a cliché in modern life and the phrase has become undervalued. The word 'basics' comes from 'base', meaning that they're the foundation for everything else but just because they're basics, certainly doesn't mean they're easy!
At an elite level in sport the basics are essential. If a rugby player cannot pass the ball, his ...

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
When you have an image that's got some muted colors in it, maybe all the colors are muted or just certain colors are muted, like in this image. There's some nice color in the greens, but the pinks, and the reds and the flowers here, they are a little bit flat and don't have a lot of color to them. So, what I want to be able to do here is increase the saturation of those particular colors. Now, you might think to go to Hue/Saturation to do that. Let's go use a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer, and we'll take that Saturation slider over to the right. You can see there's a problem, right away. I mean, yes, you're using the Master slider here. It's set to Master, and I'm increasing the Saturation.
So, that means the saturation of all the colors in the image are increasing at the same time. You can see you're getting some pretty drastic and ghastly colors very quickly, even with just a modest shift of that Saturation slider. So, I'm not going to use Hue/Saturation. Let's go ahead and delete that Adjustment layer and say Yes to that. So, instead, I'm going to use Vibrance, a Vibrance Adjustment layer. The Vibrance algorithm is a lot smarter than just Hue/Saturation. You'll note that there is a Saturation slider. This is kind of similar to the Master option in Hue/Saturation, but it's not as dramatic.
So, we'll skip Vibrance for just a second and take the Saturation slider over to the right. You can see I can crank up all the way to 100 and still not get as toxic an effect as using the Saturation slider in Hue/Saturation set to Master. So, it is a little bit too much here, but it's not overdoing it to the extreme that Hue/Saturation did. So, Saturation slider in the Vibrance Adjustment layer often gives you better results than Hue/Saturation alone. I'm going to take this back to reset, so I'll click the Reset button at the bottom of the Adjustments panel to do so.
What the Vibrance slider does is builds in a little bit intelligence. It says, "Okay, as I move this Vibrance slider to the right, I'm only going to increase the saturation of colors that need it." So, as I drag this all the way over to 100, you'll see the greens and yellows in this image were not adjusted. They did not have their Saturation boosted, because they were already the most saturated colors in the image. Instead, Vibrance boosted up the color of the pinks and the reds and the purples, because that's what needed at the most. Now, you can actually use Vibrance the opposite direction for creative effects f I want to decrease the color of the areas that are already saturated, leaving the least saturated colors alone.
So, you actually get these cool hand-tinted, or color effects. So, this is more of a creative effect. Most of the time, you're using Vibrance to boost the saturation of colors that need it and leaving the colors that are already saturated alone. I find that almost every image could use a little bit of Vibrance, kind of a nice saying there. If there's a particular region of an image that just isn't quite popping in richness of the color, that Vibrance slider, drag it over to the right a little bit until it looks right, and you're going to get some pretty good-looking results.

on April 30, 2013Once again, I ask anyone smarter than me to explain the eleventy-dimensional chess strategy behind the sequester because, right now, it still seems like the whole mess depends on people who left all their shame behind in middle school suddenly becoming ashamed of themselves. This does not appear to me to be what you would call a plan. Bad policy seems to be falling into something of a moral quagmire.
The Senate Agriculture Committee is expected to cut $23 billion over 10 years, the same as a bill passed by the full Senate last year. Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., has said she wants to mark up a bill in May and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has said that he wants to bring it to the floor in May. Lucas noted in the interview that he is matching the cuts proposed by President Barack Obama and many members of the House. Obama, however, made no cuts to food stamps, which are now officially known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP, and recommended cuts to crop insurance that Lucas does not plan.
But the planes are flying again, and people are making their sales meetings, so that's all good.

I want to try Pickle Crisp in my dried beans today. How much PC per quart?
I just put some beef in the canner now. As soon as that comes out, the beans are going in. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't do pickled beans, but I used it on cucumber pickles and zucchini pickles this summer and was really impressed with the results. I just used the label rate, but can't remember what that is off the top of my head. |
I ended up using the label rate - which was 1/4 tsp per quart. But they only mention pickles on the label. I had read somewhere on this forum that people were using 1 tsp per quart for potatoes. I guess I'll crack a jar real soon to check the texture and adjust my PC accordingly for future batches. |

Hear Sam Smith Smolder Over Arctic Monkeys' 'Do I Wanna Know?'
U.K. singer covered 'AM' opener for BBC appearance
Much digital ink has already been posted about how the Arctic Monkeys' stellar fifth album imbues a healthy dose of R&B panache. SPIN noted flashes of Aaliyah a few weeks ago when reviewing the Mercury Prize-nominated AM; we also recently spoke with frontman Alex Turner about TLC; and, of course, there was the Brits' strut-worthy cover of Drake's smooth single "Hold On, We're Going Home." In case that's not enough evidence that Arctic Monkeys are fluent in the art of slick grooves, here's some more: soulful U.K. singer Sam Smith covered AM opener "Do I Wanna Know?" during an October 23 appearance at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios.
Though he made his name by hopping onto dance-pop tunes and collaborating with Disclosure, Smith didn't rework "Do I Wanna Know?" for the club (or flip the "Latch," if you will). Instead, he held onto the fuzz-rock behemoth's steady lurch and decided to answer the Monkeys' falsetto singing with his signature plush vocals. Stream Smith's version of "Do I Wanna Know?" below, and head over to the BBC's website for the entire Zane Lowe broadcast, which includes an interview and a handful of other performances in support of Smith's newly released Nirvana EP , available now via iTunes.

Gear Review
Michael Delaney
Love it!
Got the Higlander style. Great look, great fit and great features (fully taped seams, thumbderwear, chin lining, pit zips, heaps of pockets, hood drawstring). Haven't ridden in it yet but if it lives up to its 20k/15k ratings then for this price it can't be beaten. I'm 6 foot 170 pounds medium build and the medium fits perfect with room underneath for a base layer and second bulkier layer (if weather requires it). I'll update review after I give it a try.

Got a Leupold VX1 2-7X. Kinda disappointed. Thing is comfy in recoil. Was expecting, even wanting, a thumper. See how it does on deer. Might change it to .22rf and keep it as a squirrel rig only. Trying to decide if I want to "forest floor" home camo dip the furniture or krylon a home version of Predator Fall grey.
Sort of feels like a little bit of Christmas in June doesn't it?
Work tomorrow on a hot day, in a foundry........to pay for the scope. Xmas usually has snow and cooler temps
You check the rules on that setup?
Yes I have. FWIW we can even use SBR's for deer in the consolidated firearms deer season. But this isn't an SBR, it has a 16.25" bbl.
I had at one time wanted to convert a Rem 7600 to a .308 handgun for deer here in Indiana. But SBR in handgun form, is still a rifle..........and to use it here for deer it has to run a legal rifle cartridge.........so being a .308 killed that idea. I'm pretty up on the rules and a lot more too. But thanks for asking.
We can use rifles for sport hunting of deer, but they are limited to .35 and larger cal and 1.16 to 1.8" case length. "regular high power rifles" are legal to take deer under special nuisance permit, but this is pre regular hunting season and is a bit more involved. "regular high power rifle" cartridges (like .308, .270 etc) are legal in handguns in the reg deer hunting season (.24 cal and up, min case length 1.16", no max...........bbl has to be 4" or longer). The intent I believe is to keep the tooling to medium and short range. The exceptions being the larger rifle rounds in pistols or guys making wildcat cartridges for rifles............these folks aren't your average deer hunter, spend a bit more time and $ (usually) and as such, are not of the profile to jump out of a truck and blast away across a field at some 300 yard deer, not knowing what or who is behind it in the immediate or distant treeline. Of course, we have some rubes who do that anyway. But the average person is an idiot, doesn't matter if they hunt or not, or own a gun or not...........so IMHO the state has to play the odds. Must say, a .44 mag rifle is a lot less punishing than a high performance slug from a 12 gauge and with hunting folks getting older, trying to keep them in the sport, and get new folks in, the "cheaper to shoot and less recoil stuff" is popular. Back to hand "rifles".........or XP and TC stuff (and other) in rifle cartridges. Most of those rigs are scoped for longer distance and with an extended eye relief scope...........you are pretty limited in shot selection. Such rigs typically are for more "set up" shot scenarios. My bud runs a 7mm-08 striker to cover his dad's back ditch, 200 yarders, with hill backstop......he sits on opp hill on shooting sticks or bipod and dumps them when they stop. Sitting in the deep woods and popping a trotter at 50 yards offhand, with such a pistol............might as well forget it. Rifle or shotgun with a low power scope and the shot would be easy. Pluses and minuses to everything
BTW, I spent 20 yrs in electornics manufacturing, climate controlled stuff..........pretty sweet. Now I'm a grunt in the muck. Oh well, I earn my paycheck honestly, always have. No sin in doing that, no matter what the pay or type of work.

Difference b/t mod & deluxe
What is the difference between these types of accomodations, besides the price. Does the deluxe offer more, if so what is the "more" that is offered?
Thx! |
Each resort has its specific perks, but in general a Deluxe resort gets you interior hallways, rooms with balconies, better restaurants in the resort, and in general better location options, which lead to easier transportation. Like being on the Monorail loop, having boats to MK, or being within walking distance to Epcot and HS.
Then the next decision is which Deluxe resort, since their prices vary. Then there's whether to pay for a better view at the Deluxe resort. Oh, and finally there's Club level... Each step has its perks and is priced accordingly. For us we enjoy getting a standard view room at one of the more economical Deluxe resorts, but your selections may vary. Enjoy! |
In short....
Deluxes: 1. Rooms open out into interior hallways, as opposed to opening out directly to the outside. (To be fair, some rooms at AoA do as well) 2. Sit Down restaurants abound. Deluxes also usually have some form of quick service dining, but nothing like the food courts that you see at the moderates. 3. With the exception of AKL, deluxes have some form of alternate transportation other than buses to one or more of the theme parks (ferry, water taxi, monorail). 4. Complete room service. Moderates: 1. Rooms open up right to the outside. 2. Expansive food courts with limited, if any, sit down table service restaurants. 3. Not as close in proximity to the main theme parks, so buses are usually the norm. Expect longer ommute times to the parks. 4. Pizza delivery to your room, but that's about it. |
Also, every deluxe has access to a gym (sometimes share with adjacent walking distance sister property), but only one mod (csr) has a gym.
All deluxe resorts, whether they be DVC resorts or regular deluxe resorts, are directly connected to either one of the 4 parks or DTD. In this way, transportation to the parks or DTD is easier and faster at least with respect to that one park.
Of course if you are staying at AKL and want to get to MK, your transportation options are the same as if you were staying at CBR or POP. In many of the deluxe resorts, the lobby areas are quite spectacular and they can be decorated very beautifully depending on the time of year. |
In addition to everything else that has been posted, the deluxe rooms are larger with most of them having a daybed. The rooms at WL and AKL are slightly larger than the mods, with the other deluxes being considerably larger (with the Poly and CR being the largest). Also, the deluxe resorts (with the exception of WL and AKL) accommodate 5 + 1 under the age of 3 in a standard room.
DW and I have stayed at CSR, WL and BLT. Of the three, WL was our absolute favorite. As others have stated, the deluxe resorts have the interior hallways, better food options, and easier access to parks using Disney transportation. Outside of cost, the big factor for us was the Disney WOW factor at WL. Dont get me wrong, all three resorts were great, but we really loved WL. CSR honestly just felt like another hotel. In all fairness, its a convention hotel and that may have had something to do with it. But, we loved the theme of the WL, the balconies and most of all, the boat to the MK.
IMO the biggest (and maybe most "significant") difference is the one that comes with all "real estate" questions: location, Location, LOCATION!
If you are relying on Disney transportation for your visit, there is little that beats the deluxes when it comes to transportation. As other posters have noted, most of them are close to a park or have multiple modes of transportation not just busses. IMO they tend to be the more "magical" of the resorts because Disney tends to up the wow factor to help justify the higher costs of staying there. I think the customer service is a bit better as well. |
I would look at the Accommodation Sections on Allears.net they have many photos and videos of the different resorts and fact sheet. Looking at the photos, the differences should be apparent.
One of the things that has been alluded to by previous posters, but not really expounded upon in great detail is that of resort theming. Goofy referred to it as the Wow Factor experienced at the WL. This is something that is very subjective and will vary from resort to resort and person to person. To me, this is the most critical factor in determining where I stay, even more so than price. In my opinion, no resort provides better theming or wow factor than does the WL. From the moment you pull up to the main entrance, to the time you walk through the front doors into the breath-taking lobby, you are constantly being wowed. The artwork, the native-American inspired chandeliers, the landscaping, the bubbling spring that turns into a rushing river and later a waterfall into the pool, the quiet walkways that truly make you feel like you are in the peace and quiet of the Northwest wilderness
Did I mention theres a geyser in the back overlooking Bay Lake? All of the details found in every nook and cranny of the resort all culminate together to provide you with an experience unlike anything youve ever experienced at any other hotel. This isnt your average Motel 6, but they will leave the light on for you.
Other folks feel the same way about the Poly, AKL, BW, YC/BC, etc. However, even some feel this way about All Star sports, if being surrounded by supersized sports equipment is your thing. Different strokes for different folks. Disney makes an effort to theme every single resort on property from the values to the deluxes. Some might register with you better than others. Generally speaking, I think its fair to say that the Deluxe resorts get a little more attention put into the theming than do the Values. For many people, theyre so consumed with the parks, they are simply using the resorts as a place to rest their heads at night. If this represents you, theming is not going to be as critical to this type of Disney traveler, and theyd probably rather save their money and put it towards the parks. For me, thats not the case. From the moment I cross the threshold onto Disney property, I need to be transcended from reality. Once I enter the WL, it helps to ensure that I never return until its time to check out and venture back to MCO. Most are very quick to discuss price, restaurants, transportation, accommodations, room size, etc. when discussing resort selection. While these are all important criteria, they rank second in my book to resort theming. |
My big thing Is I hate exterior doors which is why I never stay mod. Too motel like for me. I like being interior. I love the locations of deluxe hotels, pools, ts, ambience, smells in the lobby.
I have just stayed at Moderate resorts. Is there a big difference in the pools at the deluxe resorts compared to Moderates? I know BC has a really great pool that is almost like a water park, but what about the other deluxe resorts?

Dell Venue 8 7000 might be the best Android tablet, despite lame 3D camera
The Dell Venue 8 7000 is the world's thinnest tablet.
A tablet computer, or a tablet, is a mobile computer, larger than a mobile phone or personal digital assistant, integrated into a flat touch screen and primarily operated by touching the screen rather than using a physical keyboard. It often uses an onscreen virtual keyboard, a passive stylus pen, or a digital pen. The term may also apply to a variety of form factors that differ in position of the screen with respect to a keyboard. The standard form of tablet does not have an integrated keyboard but may be connected to one with a wireless link or a USB port. Convertible notebook computers have an integrated keyboard that can be hidden by a swivel joint or slide joint, exposing only the screen for touch operation. Hybrids have a detachable keyboard so that the touch screen can be used as a stand-alone tablet. Booklets include dual-touchscreens, and can be used as a notebook by displaying a virtual keyboard in one of them.
Early examples of the information tablet concept originated in...

Very nice series! Did you use a red filter for it?
Yes I did use a red filter on the Holga. It was actually taken in Ohio near my home and not Palm Springs....it was just on the roll I took to California.

New Zealand beat France 24-9 to sweep their Test rugby series 3-0 and extend its winning run at home to 26 matches.
World champion New Zealand scored the only tries of the match at Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth through winger Ben Smith and replacement fly-half Beauden Barrett, who slid over in the last minute in front of his hometown crowd. Dan Carter booted four penalties, including a 50-meter effort, and a conversion to lift his world-record tally of Test points to 1,399.
The top-ranked All Blacks, who moved to within four wins of tying their longest winning run at home set between 2003 and 2008, won the series opener 23-13 before shutting out the French 30-0 last week.
Florian Fritz kicked a drop goal for France today and Jean Marc Doussain added a penalty either side of half time.
