Editorial: Autumn Statement - a mini-Budget more about politics than economicsWednesday, 5 December 2012
As expected, the Chancellor was forced to concede that Britain's stock of debt will not be coming down by 2015, as planned; 2016 is now pencilled in instead. The target was always an arbitrary one, but the admission of failure is no less embarrassin...
Dear Kate, after Leveson, the only name is BrianWednesday, 5 December 2012

Sex doesn't get worse than this: Nancy Huston's Infrared deserved to win the Bad Sex Award 2012Wednesday, 5 December 2012
The award – established in 1993 by the late Auberon Waugh (son of Evelyn) to draw attention to the "crude, badly written or perfunctory use of passages of sexual description in contemporary novels, and to discourage it" – could hardly have had a more...
Letters: Only way to beat climate changeThursday, 6 December 2012

Editorial: A reality check for Alex SalmondThursday, 6 December 2012

People with autism are ready to work - but this programme isn't helpingThursday, 6 December 2012

The utilisations and abuses of modern EnglishThursday, 6 December 2012

With blood on the streets of Damascus, even Assad's friends in Syria know his end is inevitableThursday, 6 December 2012

The Tories who jeered Ed Balls's Autumn Statement stammer are as bad as playground bulliesThursday, 6 December 2012
Photographs in the press have brought it all back in its painful immediacy. I couldn't bear to listen to Ed Balls speak about his stammer on the radio this morning, either. I sympathise too deeply. It brings back too much misery. I don't automaticall...
'Play safe and always avoid risk' is a sad lesson to teach our childrenThursday, 6 December 2012
The questions most frequently asked of me were: What qualifications do you need to become a writer? What training would you recommend? How do you become a writer?My replies – "none", "none" and "get writing" – were clearly not what the children expec...
I used to think more cuts were the answer. But not any moreThursday, 6 December 2012
The arguments are often complicated, so they look at the politicians on each side and back the ones they trust the most – or distrust the least. It's comforting to be surrounded by kindred spirits. Sometimes, though, a little voice starts to intrude,...
Oh 'Evans above, Radio 4 presenter mistakes women for starsThursday, 6 December 2012

Israel, Palestine and the growing importance of PR in this tortuous conflictThursday, 6 December 2012
Today's ran as follows: "@IDFSpokesperson: Yesterday we facilitated the transfer 324 trucks with 8,985 tons of goods and gas into Gaza, including 270 tons of fruit."It's a bizarre feature of a conflict that has become almost as much about PR as pitch...
Together the voices of reason and care can bring sexual equality to an ever more draconian UgandaThursday, 6 December 2012
David had been arrested for staging the play, The River and the Mountain, which had gay themes. And the government is using his case to prove that their hostile view of homosexuality is real, and one they will enforce. When I asked him if jail was ...
The way Ed Balls's stutter was treated in the Commons points to a familiar compassion deficitThursday, 6 December 2012
What was notable was that Ed Balls also referred to yet another example of how truly unedifying the Chamber can be at times, when he commented on the mocking, yelling and adolescent roaring of the Conservative benches to the halting start of his resp...

Was the New York Post right to publish that splash?Thursday, 6 December 2012

George Osborne is a part-time Chancellor with his head in his hands. He slashed public spending and talked down the economy. What else did we expect?Wednesday, 5 December 2012
Our part-time Chancellor continues to put his head in the sand by sticking to his failed fiscal consolidation plans; in the House of Commons in his Autumn Statement he once again claimed "the economy is healing" and his economic plans are "on the rig...
Nothing George Osborne said in his Autumn Statement can disguise how bleak the figures areWednesday, 5 December 2012
He will repeat the metaphor with scrappy or no ammunition. He has far fewer grenades than his Tory predecessors had in the 1980s or his heroes from Canada in the 1990s. After the last election, the new Chancellor declared with a flourish that he woul...
Not so much a middle way as a muddle way: the Autumn Statement was just a progress reportWednesday, 5 December 2012
That analysis may be pop psychology, but the Chancellor is helped by the realisation that his austerity programme is by no means the sole explanation of deteriorating growth prospects. Households have been spending less because consumer prices have b...
Kate Middleton is pregnant! If you ask me, it's about time we recalled a few choice fairy talesWednesday, 5 December 2012

George Osborn's Autumn Statement proves that we're already in Plan B. He just hasn't told usWednesday, 5 December 2012
The deficit of course ends up higher than it otherwise would. Last year, the UK was in the high-deficit group of European countries. As a result, current Government spending has on balance in the last few years been a positive, and in some recent qua...
British boardrooms gave a cautious welcome to George Osborne's Autumn Statement. But for workers and savers, there wasn't much to cheerWednesday, 5 December 2012
Bosses from both camps are liable to moan. They're proud to be British, but couldn't George Osborne do more for us to oil the wheels of industry? Part of it is down to rhetoric, as even Tory allies such as broking tycoon Michael Spencer confessed thi...
They're teaching manners on board French trains. Can we have it here please?Wednesday, 5 December 2012

What is behind the catastrophic decline of our hovering raptor?Wednesday, 5 December 2012

George Osborne's deficit dissembling in the Autumn StatementWednesday, 5 December 2012

Spin it any way you like, George Osborne's Autumn Statement proves he is a failure as ChancellorWednesday, 5 December 2012
The Chancellor's minions put out the line that there would be "no miracle cure". That line led the BBC for four hours. It is stupid on two counts. First, it fails the test of all news stories: could the opposite ever be true? Of course not. No Chance...

Filed Jan. 8, 1965, Ser. No. 424,242 6 Claims. (Cl. 105183) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A railway truck construction including a pair of truck frames supporting wheels permitting movement of the truck frames along a track. The truck frames define transversely extending recesses which receive depending portions of a bolster spanning, and interconnecting the truck frames. An arrangement of resilient members is interposed between opposed surfaces of the truck frames and span bolster. First resilient means are located between opposed vertically extending wallswhich run transversely of the Construction. Additional resilient means are interposed between horizontally disposed surfaces, and the combination provides for reaction to both longitudinally applied and vertically app-lied surfaces. The design permits the construction of compact railway trucks which can be economically produced and which are unrestricted during operation.
This invention relates to railway trucks, particularly of the type employed with locomotives and on other heavy railway equipment. The particular construction of this invention involves an arrangement wherein independent railway trucks are associated with a span bolster and wherein the superstructure is connected to the bolster.
In the use of large railway equipment, particularly locomotives, it is necessary to provide trucks having extremely high load carrying capabilities. It has previously been established that a plurality of trucks must be associated with locomotives in order to provide for distribution of the load in a desirable manner. In a typical application, eight axles are associated with a locomotive by providing four individual two-axle trucks.
It is extremely important to provide the necessary number of trucks in the most economical fashion since the railway supply industry is extremely competitive and cost conscious. One important consideration from the standpoint of cost relates to the design of the bolsters used' with the trucks. Thus it has been determined that the use of span bolsters which are associated with a pair of two-axle trucks provides a more economical arrangement. Difliculties arise however, since these bolsters comprise massive castings which are extremely expensive.
Other attempts to economize have involved the use of frames having four axles fixed thereto. This design, however, unduly restricts the mobility of the axles associated with the frame. Thus, the large frame comprises a rigid member whereby the movement of the axles is restricted as-when a curve is to be negotiated. Such arrangements also unduly restrict the utility of locomotives with which they are associated since extremely high rates of wear .are occasioned due to the lack of mobility.
7 ICE It is an object of this invention to provide a novel arrangement comprising adjacent railway trucks and a span bolster associated with the trucks.
It is a further object of this invention to provide an arrangement of the type described which includes a span bolster of a relatively small size whereby the cost of such an assembly can be materially reduced without sacrificing load bearing capabilities.
It is an additional object of this invention to provide FIGURE 2 is a side elevational view of the assembly a of FIGURE 1; v
FIGURE 3 is an enlarged 'detail view partly cut away illustrating the connection between the span bolster and a railway truck; 7
FIGURE 4 is a cross-sectional view taken about the line 44 of FIGURE 3; and,
FIGURE 5 is a cross-sectional view taken about the line 55 of FIGURE 1.
The construction of this invention comprises an assembly including a pair of truck frames having axles and .wheels associated therewith in a conventional fashion. A span bolster is providedfor interconnecting the adjacent truck frames. The specific'span bolster includes a cen: trally located support portion which is adapted to be pivotally connected to the superstructure which may comprise a locomotive.
The particular span bolster includes longitudinally extending sections on either side of the-central support portion. Resilient meansinterconnect these sections with the respective railway trucks, and these resilient means are adapted to react to longitudinal forces which are set up during operation of the constructionSuch forces may result during stopping and starting or during turning movement at which time differential forces will be set up in the respective resilient members.
Each of the span bolsters includes laterally extending sections located at either end of the longitudinally extending sections. Resilient means are located'between these laterally extending sections and the truck frame, and these resilient means react to vertical and'lateral forces set up during operation.
As will appear, the span bolster of this invention is particularly desirable due tothe fact that it can be effectively employed even though-it is of relatively small size. The basic novelty of this invention also involves the use of resilient means for interconnecting different portions, of the span bolster with the truck frame whereby all of the forces normally setup during operation can be accommodated.
FIGURE 1 illustrates an assembly 10 comprising truck frames 12 and a span bolster 14. The span bolster includes a centrally located pivot 16 which is provided for connection with the superstructure of a locomotive or other railway vehicle adapted to be carried by the assembly.
Longitudinally extending sections 18 are integrally formed in the span bolster. Openings 20 are provided as air ducts, and it will be appreciated that any suitable number of such openings is contemplated.
The ends of each of the sections 18 define opposed transverse wall 22 and 24. When the span bolster is located in place with respect to the railway trucks, these walls are situated in recessed portions 26 defined by the respective trucks. Disposed between the ends of the span bolster and the walls 22 and 24 are resilient members 28. One face of these members is secured to one of the opposed walls 30 of the recess 26. The other face presses against wear plates 31 for sliding engagement therewith. It will be appreciated that all forces which are applied in a longitudinal direction will be resisted by the action of these resilient members 28. Forces encountered during change in speed will generally be directly applied in the longitudinal direction. During turning of the assembly, the trucks are free to move relative to the span bolster 14 and, in such case, some of the members 28 will be in compression and the others in tension, depending upon the direction of turning.
It will be noted that each of the trucks 12 comprises a generally H-shaped frame having a transom 32 forming the transverse leg and members 34 forming the longitudinal sections thereof. The recess 26 is defined in the transom portion of each of the trucks.
Laterally extending portions 36 are associated at each end of the bolster 14. Resilient members 38 are disposed between these lateral portions and the base 40 of the recess 26. It will be apparent that the resilient members 38 are adapted to react to forces which are applied ver tically in the construction. In the particular embodiment shown in FIGURE 3, a pair of resilient members 38 is associated with each of the lateral portions 36 of the bolster. Furthermore, these resilient members will react to shear forces set up during turning and to forces resulting from sidewise jolts, etc., during operation.
The truck constructions illustrated in the drawings comprise axles 42 having conventional journal associations with the truck frame. Springs 44 are adapted to be associated with the truck frames to provide a conventional means for mounting of the axles. It is also contemplated that a snubber 46 be included between plate portions 48 and 50 defined, respectively, by the truck frame and span bolster. It will be appreciated, however, that the arrangement of this invention provides the resilient mem bers 28 and 38 as the elements which give the major resistance to applied forces.
It will be appreciated that during operation of the illustrated embodiment of this invention, the load of the superstructure will be distributed primarily to the lateral portions 36 for transmission to the respective trucks. It has been found that an arrangement of this type provides extremely effective load distribution to the extent that loads equivalent to the loads carried by prior art con structions can easily be accommodated.
Additional advantages are achieved by the arrangement of this invention since an assembly having a high load bearing capacity and having relatively small dimensions has been provided. This is particularly true with regard to the height of the assembly since in many cases the prior art has located the span bolsters entirely above the axles and wheel assemblies. The provision of the recessed portion 26 in the transom of the railway trucks is partly responsible for this advantage in the instant construction since the span bolster can be located whereby it extends for only a short distance above the truck frames. The assembly thus permits locating of the locomotive lower to the rail to provide a lower center of gravity which is a highly desirable feature.
It should also be noted that in the instant arrangement,
the ends of the span bolster take the place of truck bolsters normally provided. The elimination of these truck bolsters permits a substantial reduction in height thereby contributing greatly to the provision of a lower center of gravity. The elimination of the truck bolsters along with the swing hangers and spring planks employed therewith also reduces the cost of the inventive combination to a substantial degree.
The arrangement of this invention can be produced in a highly economical fashion since the span bolster does not comprise a prohibitively large casting. In addition, the particular arrangement of the resilient members 28 and 38 provides for highly efficient assembly since there are no complicated steps involved in locating and securing the resilient members during formation of the assembly. Bonded rubber sandwiches are particularly suitable since they will stand up under both shear and compression forces. Thus, it will be appreciated that the span bolster and associated trucks are subjected to forces which require relative lateral movement as well as relative vertical movement. Bonded rubber sandwiches are considered more suitable than coil springs under conditions of this type.
It will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made in the construction described which provide the characteristics of this invention without departing from the spirit thereof particularly as defined in the following claims.
That which is claimed is:
1. In a railway truck construction including a pair of truck frames, axles associated with each frame, and wheels associated with each axle, and including a span bolster interconnecting said truck frames, said bolster including a center support portion adapted to be pivotally connected to the superstructure supported by said construction, the improvement comprising means for securing said bolster to said truck frames, said bolster including longitudinally extending sections formed on either side of said center support portion, vertical walls extending transversely across said longitudinally extending sections adjacent the ends thereof, and oppositely facing vertical walls formed in said truck frames, resilient means interposed between said vertical walls adapted to react to longitudinally applied forces, horizontally disposed surfaces defined by said longitudinally extending sections, and oppositely facing horizontally disposed surfaces defined by said truck frames, and additional resilient means interposed between said horizontally disposed surfaces adapted to react to shear forces and to vertically applied forces.
2. A truck construction in accordance with claim 1 wherein said truck frames are H-shaped and include transversely extending transom portions, said resilient means being attached to said transom portions.
3. A truck construction in accordance with claim 2 wherein each of said transom portions defines a recess along its length, the respective recesses defining the vertical walls and horizontally disposed surfaces of the truck frames, said resilient means being secured within said recesses whereby the height of the construction can be maintained at a minimum.

Most Chinese learners have a goal of one day being able to read a Chinese newspaper, or a novel in Chinese. And thanks to better and better tools for learning Chinese, it's getting easier to work towards that goal progressively. However, even learners who have studied for quite a while report that they still struggle with the "wall of characters" mental block. It's that irrational, overwhelming feeling (perhaps even a slight sense of panic) we sometimes get when confronted with a whole page of Chinese text: the dreaded "Wall of Characters."
No doubt, this fear is partly culturally rooted. From childhood, many of us have considered Chinese characters as roughly equivalent with the concept "inscrutable." At times our brains seem to revert to that primitive, ignorant state where that wall of characters really seems impenetrable.
Nowadays, the "wall of characters" is often online, rather than printed on paper. We have all kinds of tools to help us chip away at the wall. Relative beginners, with the right training, can quickly start blowing holes in that wall, and with a little time and patience, the wall does come crumbling down at the feet of the motivated learner, leaving nothing but glorious meaning in its place. That's a beautiful thing.
Today, however, I'd like to introduce a tool of a different sort. One that operates on the "primitive and ignorant" level of the "wall of characters." It's a "bomb" in a more literal (but digital) sense of the word, a toy called fontBomb.
I've found that applying fontBomb to the "wall of characters" is surprisingly satisfying, in the same way that smashing glass can be satisfying, and looks cool to boot. Here's a video I made (sorry, YouTube only):
FontBomb is easy to use and apply to any page of text. Happy bombing!

Israel Air Force craft struck a terror cell attempting to fire rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to the IDF Spokesman's Office.Two Palestinians were injured in the strike which targeted a motorcycle in southern Gaza near Rafah, according to Palestinian sources.The IAF strike marked the first such action in Gaza since last month when Palestinian terrorists launched more than 200 rockets into southern Israel, prompting a number of IDF strikes in the Strip.A Katyusha rocket fired from Sinai landed in Eilat on Wednesday, failing to cause injuries or damage.Police on Saturday discovered the remains of a second rocket that had been fired towards Eilat overnight Wednesday.Following the attack on Eilat, IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz said that Israel viewed the attack gravely and that it was the work of terrorist organizations operating in the peninsula."Anyone who tests us from near or far will find itself facing a strong and smart military prepared to defend Israel and defeat our enemies," he said.Yaakov Katz contributed to this report.

Cleo Joyce Kohn, 82, formerly of Barrett and Fergus FallsPublished 9:57am Wednesday, December 12, 2012 Updated 12:01pm Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Cleo Kohn, died peacefully Friday, Dec. 7, 2012, at Southview Acres Health Center in St. Paul.
Cleo was born on Oct. 9, 1930, in Lien Township in Grant County, the youngest child of Wilhelmina and Andrew Kohn. Her parents both died when she was a young child so was raised by her aunt and uncle, Peter and Catharine Kohn of Barrett.
Cleo graduated from Elbow Lake High School with the Class of 1948 and continued with her education to receive a teacher's certificate from Moorhead State Teachers College in 1950.
She began her teaching career in Brooten, where she taught the fourth grade and also was the elementary principal.
Over the next years she held teaching positions in Litchfield, Appleton and Breckenridge. She returned to studies in 1964-65 to receive her bachelor of science degree from the University of Minnesota, Morris.
She received a master's degree in library sciences from Moorhead State University. She was very proud of her move from classroom teacher to the Fergus Falls ISD 544 Elementary Librarian.
From 1968 until her retirement in1993, she had the opportunity to touch the lives of every elementary student in Fergus Falls through the library.
Cleo was an active member of First Lutheran church of Fergus Falls and carried her love of God beyond the church doors.
She was a dedicated care-giver to her aging aunt and uncle and never missed a night of reading the Bible. She loved collecting stories and quips on topics of faith and trust. She compiled a booklet titled "A Decade of Sermon Notes," in 1991 that is a delight to read.
Much of Cleo's free time was spent cheering for the Minnesota Twins, lunching with friends and knitting. Nearly everyone she knew received a beautiful hand-knit afghan — she kept track of each one and they numbered more than 70. She had an uncanny ability to spot four-leaf clovers and shared the luck with others. She was a Scrabble pro and was always ready for a game.
As the anguish of Alzheimer's disease overtook Cleo, her ability to knit and watch TV diminished, leaving her to delight in a game of balloon toss or in the joy of a good bowl of ice cream.
Throughout her long struggle with the disease she remained cooperative and would light up at the fun teasing of her caregivers.
Cleo was preceded in death by her parents; special aunts and uncles; three brothers; and one sister.
She will be greatly missed by her nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews and her wonderful extended family at Southview Acres.
Visitation: Sunday two hours prior to the service at the funeral home
Service: 12:30 p.m. Sunday, at Glende-Nilson Funeral Home, Fergus Falls
Clergy: Rev. Saul Stensvaag
Burial: Peace Lutheran Cemetery, Barrett
Funeral Home: Glende-Nilson Funeral Home, Fergus Falls

Sad truth about mmo's and profit margins.

As any marketing person will NOT tell you (key word is NOT) the idea of marketing and business in general is to provide a product or service with the highest profit margin. How you get the profit margin is irrelevant so long as the cost of your legal fees and consequences do not exceed your acceptable profits.
In other words, if mind control was legal, most businesses would use it. Marketing is designed to exploit sociological and psychological effects of humans to get them to purchase a product. They will treat you as nothing more than a number to be exploited.
If they didn't, they would not survive.

Woman Flees Accident Scene To Chill Her Ice Cream
By editor
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. An Arkansas woman high-tailed it home after she rear-ended another car in Van Buren. It didn't take long for police to find her. When they did, they slapped her with a citation for following too closely and leaving the scene of an accident. Her excuse? She didn't think there was enough damage to call the cops and she was afraid her ice cream was melting. A bit of a messy alibi. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Which granite -ivory gold/kashmir white- opinion please...
Trying to decide between ivory gold and kashmir white granite. Cabinet color is espresso. The ivory gold has a light brown or gold shade to it; whereas kashmir white has a grayish tone and is a little lighter. Our kitchen is not too big. I initially had decided on ivory gold, but now i am wondering if there will be too much brown in the small kitchen. The paint color will most likely have to be creamish to go with the ivory gold and espresso cabinets. If we go with kashmir white, then it may provide better contrast between cabinet color and countertop color. Paint color in that case could be in the shade of gray or green. Any suggestions and opinions will be much appreciated.
I would do some research on the Kashmir White. I think it is more delicate and more prone to staining than the other Kashmirs. (A friend has the grey and it is durable)
I am not sure of the ivory gold. Again do your research.
Think ahead to the backsplash. Although I think either choice could be fine, so many of us get frustrated when it comes time to picking the backsplash. For me, when I went around looking at tiles, a sales woman explained that this is often what happens when you don't think about the three steps together. The cabinet color, the counter an the backsplash.
Many people here have beautiful kitchens and picking the backsplash wasn't a problem. But,when it is it is very time consuming and frustrating. Just a thought.
can you post a photo of the actual slabs? I googled them but wow what a range of colors and patterns on the ivory gold. Some even look pink online. Kashmir white is a safe bet with espresso and the grays in it would complement the dark color and I like that it is lighter and a bit more flexible for you in the future. But would still like to see a photo of the slabs you have in mind : )
I also considered the ivory before deciding on the Kashmir white. (I have natural cherry and white cabinets.) I think that either color would look lovely with the espresso cabinets, but I think it depends more on the look you're going for. The white will give you a cooler, contemporary look compared to the gold.
Ellendi has excellent advice about considering the backsplah. I think if you bring a cabinet sample and match it to the slab along with some backsplash options you'll have an easier time deciding on a comprehensive look.

The business - Patrick Hosking on the lessons of M&S and its shares
So far, the Financial Services Authority has few significant insider-dealing scalps. But can it real
So far, the Financial Services Authority has few significant insider-dealing scalps. But can it real
by Patrick Hosking Published
The Financial Services Authority has injected fresh drama into what was already the most gripping City story of the year, the Marks & Spencer bid battle. The FSA is investigating share-buying ahead of the announcement of Philip Green's original £8bn bid in late May. The question is: was there insider dealing? Has anyone profited because they were tipped off about the bid in advance?
For once, the punters under the FSA spotlight include some big beasts. Stuart Rose, now chief executive of M&S, bought 100,000 M&S shares a few hours after receiving a phone call from Green, an erstwhile friend. Tom Hunter, another retailing giant, a big philanthropist in his native Scotland and a close friend of Green, bought 375,000 shares for his children's trust six weeks before the bid was announced. Michael Spencer, one of the City's richest men and the creator of the Icap money-broking empire, bought two million M&S contracts-for-difference - bets on the shares rising - a day after meeting Rose.
All three emphatically deny knowing a bid was coming when they dealt, though Rose says he regrets buying the shares, and there is no suggestion of a conspiracy. But the system has changed since Jeffrey Archer's notorious purchase of Anglia TV shares. Then, insider dealing was a criminal offence only. The prosecution had to prove wrongdoing beyond reasonable doubt.
Because it was possible that Archer didn't know of an imminent bid, even though his wife Mary was an Anglia director, a prosecution wasn't even attempted.
Now the FSA can bring civil proceedings, which demand a much lower burden of proof. Judgment depends on whether a reasonable person would consider the behaviour acceptable in the circumstances. The FSA can mete out unlimited fines and City bans.
It has not so far secured significant insider-dealing scalps beyond a few small fry. Yet can it really be a coincidence that a rise in the share price precedes almost every takeover bid?
Nothing would do more to help encourage honest behaviour in future than the successful nailing of a big businessman. Equally, nothing would do more to reinforce the view that insider dealers are untouchable than the investigation fizzling out - even if, as is quite possible in the M&S case, everyone is completely innocent.
By announcing a formal investigation, the FSA has upped the stakes.
As I suggested might happen two weeks ago, the laudable stand made by the W H Smith pension-fund trustees has derailed the £940m takeover bid for the company by the private equity group Permira. For now, at least.
The trustees were not prepared to countenance a highly leveraged bid without an accompanying top-up to the pension scheme, which has a deficit of between £200m and 250m. Permira was not willing to shoulder the extra costs.
What nobody has pointed out is that the robust wording of the pension fund's trust deed - which gave the trustees the ammunition they needed - was drafted in 1894, when the Smith family set up the pioneering scheme for their clerks.
How extraordinary that tomorrow's Smith pensioners have to rely on the paternalistic drafting of a late-Victorian employer to defend their rights today. We hadn't long stopped sending children up chimneys at the time.
About 100,000 people run their own pension funds. I'm one of them. The vehicles are called Self-Invested Personal Pensions. Sipps allow people to make their own investment decisions. They used to be the preserve of the wealthy, but the costs have fallen dramatically. Now anyone with a bit of financial nous - and/or a deep suspicion of the savings industry - can run their own fund.
Under new rules that come into force in April 2006, "sippers" will be able to invest in virtually any asset they choose - from residential property to fine art to vintage wine. Rightly, the government is giving us a wider choice of places to put our retirement savings. Why should we have to rely on the stock market when so many listed companies have let their shareholders down? MPs - with their final-salary pensions underwritten by tomorrow's taxpayers - don't have to worry about falling stock-market returns. The rest of us do.
But there is scope for abuse. People will be able to use the untaxed income in personal pension funds to buy holiday retreats, Picassos and even yachts - in effect, at a 40-per-cent discount. There are safeguards: any use of the assets will be taxed as a benefit and any transaction between individuals and their funds will have to be done at commercial rates.
But who is going to police all this? Who decides what commercial rates are for someone, say, leasing his yacht back from his pension fund for a month every year? Sipps have been free of scandal until now. It would be a shame if the tax breaks were exploited by the wealthy to indulge their hobbies on the cheap.

One of the hazards of kitchen renov. & new appliances....
PSA of the day . . .
When appliance guys and/or plumbers are working in your daylight basement, be sure to check all exterior doors and make sure they are shut securely.
This morning I had planned to sleep in while the hubby went to work. No subs were scheduled, should be a good day, right?
Around 6:00 a.m. our burglar alarm goes nuts, siren screaming from attic, and monitoring station calls us. Basement (patio) door was 'point of entry.' Told them to go ahead and send police, because one never knows...
Police arrive, walk around house, check out basement. Told me there were two birds flying around in the basement (probably came thru the open door because it was warm inside). Nothing disturbed, nothing taken.
All we can figure is a sub went through the door on Monday or Tuesday, thought he had closed it, and didn't quite catch the latch. Door had been blown open by wind. I missed my only chance to sleep in!
Check your exterior doors at the end of each day. Lesson learned the hard way, here. ~rolls eyes~
Hope the birds were safely rescued! Our siding person set off ours taking off the old stuff- oops. Police arrived and gave them a bit of a hard time til they reached us. Double oops!
Then I was watching our robins getting ready to fledge and they fledged into the house. Found 2 easily but the third one was shy. I finally snagged the last one. I have a great video of the robins fledging.
