How a Retirement Plan Financial Advisor Can Survive In The World Today.
It takes everything you got.
To read the article, please click here.
Advisors have to offer Investment Education.
It's part of their job.
Advisors ask me all the time of the role of education in participant directed 401(k) plans. Participant directed 401(k) plans that are governed under ERISA §404(c) offer the plan sponsors liability protection based on a participant's gains or losses on their account when they direct their own investment.
There have been so many misconceptions that plan sponsors and advisors have had concerning ERISA §404(c) plans. They had this belief that if they just give a mutual fund lineup and some Morningstar profiles to plan participants that they are exempt from liability. ERISA §404(c) protection is about following a process and Morningstar profiles is just not enough education to give to plan participants. On the flipside, education to participants doesn't have to amount to an MBA education.
I think an effective education component to ERISA §404(c) plans should include enrollment meetings where the characteristics of the plan are discussed, as well as the investment options, and offering the building blocks of financial education to assist participants to get a better understanding on how to choose investments.
Advisors that may have issues in offering education should always consider using some of the online resources out there such as rj20.com and smart401k.com, who could offer investment advice that an advisor can't if they won't comply with the investment advice regulations.
In addition, written materials such as plan highlights and some Morningstar profiles should always be distributed.
Also while many advisors dislike, one on one meetings to participants should always be offered. While most participants will probably shun such meetings, they should always be offered to those that want them because as we know, every participant has a different financial goal and need. One on one meetings offer participant individualized attention on asset allocation and fund choices; it can be an effective means of educating plan participants more than what a general enrollment meeting can offer. It can help participants understand how retirement plan assets relate to their other assets as part of a comprehensive financial plan.
Advisors should always look at education as liability protection, because offering participant education help a plan sponsor minimize their liability under ERISA §404(c). While I always stress education as important part of the fiduciary process, it's not about achieving a specific result from participants directing their own investments. Offering participants educations is like the old proverb, "You can leada horse to water, but you can't make him drink." So no matter how great the education component is, there is no guarantee that it will help plan participants achieve a better financial result because like they say, there is no guarantee in life, except maybe death and taxes. The participant who put all his money into a mid-cap fund because he considers it the "average of the market" may still do so even after getting education at the enrollment meeting and through one on one meeting. As with most things with retirement plans, it's about following a process and not guaranteeing a result.
The needs of the Plan outweigh the needs of the Plan Provider.
The Plan and its participants come first.
A family member once said: "there are a lot of yous (sic) and only one me." That may not be the nicest and most selfless thing to say, but that's something retirement plan sponsors should think when it comes to the needs of the retirement plan. Maybe Captain Kirk said it best in Star Trek III, when he contradicted the viewpoint of Captain Spock who gave his life to save the Enterprise at the end of Star Trek II by saying: 'the needs of the one outweigh the needs of the many." The needs of the retirement plan sponsor's plan outweigh the needs of the retirement plan providers.
A retirement plan sponsor always needs what is best for the retirement plan and if their current plan provider can't handle what they need, it's time to wave goodbye. There are too many third party administrators (TPA) who don't have the flexibility to administer plan provisions or different retirement plans that a plan sponsor needs. If what's best for a plan sponsor that they have a defined benefit plan in addition to a 401(k) plan to maximize the retirement savings of their highly paid people and their current TPA can't handle it, it's best to find a TPA who can. Otherwise, the plan sponsor can't maximize retirement savings and Uncle Sam gets more tax dollars.
I recently came across a retirement plan sponsor that has a plan with two adopting employers where there is some common ownership, but not enough to be a controlled group. By not being in a controlled group, these three companies have to bee separated for testing purposes. The incumbent TPA said they can't handle this type of plan (the plan is now considered a multiple employer plan) and the plan sponsor would have to set up separate plans for the companies, which would unnecessarily drive up administration costs.
A plan sponsor has a fiduciary responsibility to the plan, not the plan sponsor. If the plan provider no longer fits, it's time to find one that does, like a glove.
Retirement Plans aren't built on an assembly line.
There is no cookie cutter approach to it.
Henry T. Ford is considered the father or the pioneer of the modern day assembly line of manufacturing. His development of the Model T and its way of manufacturing is considered one of the great developments in 20th century capitalism. His assembly combined the idea of interchangeable parts and was a model of efficiency. His efficiency did have its limitations. In his autobiography, Ford wrote: "Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black".
There are many retirement plan providers that have an assembly line approach when it comes to retirement plans. These providers use their own standardized prototype documents and have a consistent plan design structure. Like the color of a Model T, plan sponsors usually using these providers have no choice in plan design and these limitations may cost the plan sponsor money because they are not able to maximize employer contributions through plan designs that may increase contributions to highly compensated employees, which many times are the owners of the plan sponsor.
There cannot be a cookie cutter approach to retirement plans. Every plan is different. Even plans sponsored by the same employer are different. Every plan has its own set of circumstances as to why they were set up, what the goals were when set up, as well as the demographics of the plan sponsor supporting it. Their vesting schedule, eligibility requirements, and employer contribution should be drafted to the specific needs and demographics of the plan sponsor. Plan documents are legal documents and legal documents have legal consequences. They should not be churned out by someone who is not an ERISA attorney or a paralegal with extensive retirement plan drafting background. Prototype plan documents that have that fill in the blank document look can be a very cost efficient, but they have their limits and there are very often situations where the plan sponsor's needs cannot fit within the confines of the plan document's limited choices.
Retirement plans are not widgets or tubes of toothpaste. Like a suit, they have to be custom made or tailored to meet the specific needs of the plan sponsor. Failure to have the plan fits the needs of a plan sponsor is the same as my 6 year old son wearing his 4T clothes or my clothes. Plan design and drafting is an essential part of retirement plan administration and should not be discounted.
These plan providers that use that assembly line approach that doesn't offer new comparability plan design or a variety of choice among plan provisions does a disservice to the plan sponsor. Cost for a plan sponsor in retirement plan administration is a concern, but not the overriding concern. Plan sponsors need providers that can draft and administer the plan so it fits their needs.
When it comes to being a retirement plan provider and selling your services, you have to have it. Those who have it, succeed. Those who don't, don't. You can't get it from a bottle, a book, or course.
What is it? It's the ability to connect with potential clients. They have to buy what you're selling and what you are selling is really yourself. You can't be too pushy, you can't be too meek, but probably something in between.
It's all about connecting with that audience. Years ago, when I worked for a third party administrator, I thought I had it. My boss thought differently, but the salesman there by the name of Rich Laurita saw that I had it, so that's why he brought me on to many sales meeting. Probably also because despite how Rich had it, he knew very little about the operations of retirement plans.
Connecting with the audience is when the audience understands what you are selling and wants it. Talking over their heads or in some actuarial gibberish or ERISAese won't do it. Most plan sponsors have no idea about the basic concepts of retirement plans, so what you have to do is to talk to them in a language they can understand.
It should be noted that the talent for selling isn't like athletic talent; you don't have to be born with it. You can learn it and refine it over time. Believe me when I first started in this business, I was terrible. That's probably why my boss thought I didn't have it, I'm sure he thinks differently today.
It's all about class.
It's how you treat the folks who bring you business.
When it comes to your clients, your co-workers, and the other plan providers who refer you business, there is one simple rule to follow. When it comes to treating and interacting with these people, a little class goes a long way.
Clients, co-workers, other plan providers, and other professional resources for referrals are the folks that help you put food on your table. So they need to be treated with respect and some class. You should never take advantage of people who do right by you.
That's why I always mention and never forget Richard Laurita, my late friend and co-worker who helped me when it came down to meeting clients, helping out financial advisors, and understanding that the sales process requires the right communication to the right people. I can never forget the help he gave me.
When my home was devastated during Hurricane Sandy, I had no power and both cars were destroyed. I was marooned in a house with 5 feet of water downstairs with no heat. When I was able to get to an area where I could get Internet, I reached out to the only person I knew who would help me, my wife, and my children (who spent the previous night in a shelter, my friend Marlo. Marlo and her husband let us stay at their home for two weeks, so we could start to get our life and home back on track. Without their help, it would probably be months before we could get back home. When it was Marlo's birthday this past weekend, I made sure to go up to her and tell her how much I loved her because she has been more than a sister to me than my own sister. So anytime I see Marlo and her husband and we socialize, I always try to show my appreciation and class. They owed us nothing and they helped us when we needed it the most. Some folks couldn't bother to help; they did with actions and not just words.
One of the classiest and most famous people I personally knew died a few weeks back. Basil Paterson was a law firm partner at that law firm I have been deriding for the past four years. Basil Paterson was a former State Senator, candidate for Lieutenant Governor in 1970 (when few African-Americans sought statewide office in New York), deputy Mayor of New York City, member of the Harlem Gang of 4 (with Percy Sutton, David Dinkins, and Charles Rangel), and the father of a rather forgettable Governor (David Paterson).
I was in the Manhattan office and Basil was in Garden City most of the time. I spoke to him just a few times. Based on his accomplishments and being a living part of history, he was nothing but nice to me. While other partners showed their arrogance, Mr. Paterson only showed his class. He was a class act.
Mr. Paterson was well connected in politics and some of his clients were the most well-known and powerful labor unions in New York City. So when Basil passed away, I thought the law firm would put out a press release, mention it on their website, or tweet about it. He was a special man and a special lawyer who brought a lot of business to the law firm and mentored quite a few labor law partners and associates. Aside from a mention on his individual webpage, there was no tribute. Such a classy man didn't get a classy tribute. Shame on them, shame on the managing attorney. I always felt that in the two years I was there and the four years since I left that they didn't treat me well, they didn't treat me with any class. I feel worse that someone who was more experienced than I was who was such a trailblazer in city and state politics that brought them so much business over the years was not treated with the class and respect he deserved for such a legal and political career.
This isn't some diatribe about the law firm; it's all about class. Have some; show some, to those who feed you in some way.

About WEALTHMAKERS Wealthmakers Online Predictive Research (WOPR) is a distributed computing system that has hundreds of data feeds (economic, weather, geopolitical, interest rates, energy, equities, currencies, commodities, etc.) feeding into a relational database that searches for patterns and determines how a trading instrument has behaved both before and after specific events have taken place in the past. Only about 25% of stocks display patterns at any given time and only about 1% of stocks exhibit all the necessary conditions on any given day to make a trade. That means that out of 14,000 stocks, only about 140 trades are high probability trades that our system would generate a research report on and disseminate the information to clients. This process eliminates the noise and only tells you which stocks have multiple strategies lining up at the same time, in the same direction, with no conflicting predictions and the fundamental valuation is in-line with the prediction! Strategies include: EARNINGS - Most stock price histories show random or unpredictable movements around earnings reports. But some repeat the same pattern quarter after quarter, year after year. Earnings predict probability, price move and length of move before and after all US stock earnings reports.
FRICTION FACTOR - Friction Factor is based on the relationship between the price of a stock and the volume at which it's bought and sold. Normal and abnormal Friction factor patterns can help you time your buying and selling decisions for maximum earnings potential.
GATS - The Global Automated Trading System (GATS) combines neural networks and genetic algorithms to reduce investment risks. GATS selects the highest probability trades in stocks, bonds, options, commodities, currencies and private equities, delivering precise, predictive and profitable data.
GROUP SECTOR - Certain institutions can exert buying or selling pressure over an entire industry group, pushing prices higher. Group Sector identifies stocks that most closely match their group's movement and generate powerful group consensus trading signals to help you profit from the herd mentality.
PATTERN SCANNER - describes the current technical situation in your stock. It displays the technicals, trend conditions and seasonal factors and automatically discovers how that stock has performed in the trading days following the occurrences of the event or combination of events. This technology automatically scans using complex historical queries based on what event is taking place right now in the stock. It then displays the probability, expected return and number of trading days for the expected move.
EVENTS - This technology automatically tracks "Trigger Events" that positively or negatively affect the value of a stock or its perceived value among analysts ranging from price fluctuations to natural disasters and political shifts. The results reveal patterns that can predict market movements.
RegSHO NAKED SHORTS - SEC Regulation SHO mandates that if a clearing agent holds a fail-to-deliver position for 13 consecutive settlement days, it must purchase securities to close out its position, a.k.a. a forced cover. WealthMakers aggregates data from NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ, OTCBB and PINKSHEETS to track stocks that are about to have forced covers.
SEASONALITY - Seasonality analyzes more than 20 years of data to determine if stocks have a long or short seasonal bias, how many trading days the move is expected to last, the probability of that move and the percentage move the stock is expected to make based on the seasonal bias.
SQUEEZETRIGGER - Our proprietary database of more than 3,500,000,000 short sale transactions allows us to calculate the exact price at which the total short interest is short in each stock. Squeeze Trigger Alerts let you know exactly when a short squeeze will start and how to trade profitably.
VALUATION - A stock's value is a function of its forecasted earnings per share and forecasted earnings growth, as well as profitability, interest and inflation rates. Valuation use these metrics to determine at what price a stock is undervalued or overvalued, so that you can make investment decisions accordingly.
INSIDER - Significant stock sales or purchases by company "insiders" (officers or directors) can be a predictor of future price movements, up or down. The Insider strategy tracks these actions and correlates them with historical data to give you an investment edge.

Approaching Deadline
Medical bills are a leading cause of personal debt in the United States, even for those who have health insurance. Although the landmark health care reform legislation that was recently signed into law by President Obama starts to address this problem, the spiraling costs of health care remains one of our nation's greatest challenges.
Costs of Care is launching an essay contest today that will solicit hundreds of anecdotes from patients, nurses, and doctors across the nation that illustrate the importance of cost awareness in medicine. Their stories will draw attention to the power clinicians and patients have to identify and curb harmful health care spending on a grassroots level.
Two $1,000 prizes will be awarded to the top submissions – one prize will go to a clinician such as a doctor or nurse, and one prize will go to a patient. Finalist submissions will be judged by:
All submissions will be due on November 1, ...

Great book, the kids love the stories and this is a great collection. It was a mistake for the artist to change all the characters. This might sound strange, the stories are the same after all but the book doesn't feel authentic. It's not Liewe Heksie or Blommie or any of them. This was also the first thing my daughter noticed. tl;dr: great stories, bad presentation.

Under treaties signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1977, the United States agreed to remove all of its troops before transferring one of the world's most famous and strategic waterways — the link connecting the Pacific and the Atlantic oceans.
Among the casualties of the move is the Pentagon's Southern Command, which will now transfer to Miami, Florida.

Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad never mentioned the word "gay" during a 30-minute-long meeting with three gay rights activists Tuesday, but that didn't bother the activists.
"The whole meeting was quite comfortable," said Manvendra Singh Gohil, a crown prince in India and the world's only openly gay member of royalty.
Gohil is in Iowa to speak to the sell-out crowd of 800 students and educators at today's eighth annual Iowa Governor's Conference on LGBTQ Youth, which stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. Some conservative Christian activists have criticized ...

I couldn't believe that he was walking. Still, knees are weird. You can tear ligaments and be fine walking straight, but have NO lateral movement. Let's hope he is OK.

Close to 200 technology providers, systems integrators and forward looking end users redefining smart and connected systems gathered at Haystack Connect 2013 to exchange knowledge and share experiences about smart building technologies, energy management and operational efficiency solutions.
Technology continues to drive rapid change in smart building and device technologies with significant advances being driven by a community of companies creating open, best of breed solutions that work together through a range of open protocols and software interfaces.
During the four day conference attendees participated in interactive sessions and technical programs with recognized industry authorities leading discussions on a wide range of technology topics that are relevant for operating in today's smart building and connected system environments including cyber protection and prevention, wireless, analytics, lighting, data modeling, visualization, energy and the Cloud. Keynote addresses were given by Marina Leight, Associate Publisher of GOVERNING Magazine, George Hernandez, Technical Advisor with the Department of Energy and Caesar Ruest of Autodesk.
In addition Jason Briggs and Scott Muench of J2 Innovation delighted the crowd with an exciting demonstration that brought together a variety of community technologies, applications and connected systems for the first time. This was the inspiration behind Haystack Connect, an open, community-based effort to find the best solutions to advance the state of the art in intelligent buildings and smart devices and bring them together.
Haystack Connect was also supported by a number of sponsoring and exhibiting companies who shared their latest technologies and solutions that are driving smart buildings and connected devices.
"Haystack Connect is about fostering a culture of innovation; and ecosystems of nontraditional partnerships and allies that lead to radical ways to work together, commented John Petze, Principal, SkyFoundry and community volunteer. "We are extremely pleased at the number of highly regarded and knowledgeable industry experts who participated in this truly open, independent conference".
"Haystack Connect showed the importance of how a connected community and connected ecosystem is moving the industry forward in ways in which significant advances are being driven not by a single company, but rather by a community of companies creating open, best of breed solutions and working together through a variety of open protocols and software interfaces", said Marc Petock, Vice President, Lynxspring and conference community volunteer.

I love you Mother Mary. I love you so much. i know you have decided to leave me, to turn your back on me, but it's ok, because i love you so much.
I hope you will love me back someday, cause then i know all my suffering and loneliness will end. But above all this i do still love you, i will pray for you every night just because i love you.
Someone said it is ok to rest but it is not ok to give up. I am sorry my Mother, i can't go on anymore, i need to give up this time, i can't continue this struggle anymore, it killed my soul, and now i am just waiting for my physical death, i wish you could give that to me.
I wish you could give me the eternal peace already, i need it. Tell Wajdi i love him, let him know i am nothing without him, and now that i might end up without him soon, and you are not with me anymore, i have no reason to exist.
Whoever will read this, please pray for me, because Mother Mary refused me and just let me go.

First No Gi tourney
So I have finally decided to start competing in no gi tourneys in my area. I've been trainin and rolling both gi and no gi for a little over 2.5 years.
I was kind of wondering if any of you that have competed before have any tips for a newbie. |
Have fun. Tournaments are a good time. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat to keep your energy levels up for competition. Make sure you get some good rest the night before. Warm up, don't go into your matches cold. Make sure you don't forget your groin protector and mouthpiece!
make sure you understand the rules! I don't know how many times I've seen people complain about losing on points because they didn't realize that pulling guard isn't a takedown, and if the other guy shoots and they pulled guard, they just gave up free points.
Just have fun man. I have done a few competitions and when I first started I was all tense and kept telling myself "I can't lose, I can't lose". Then when I was competing I would continue to second guess all my moves. Eventually I started just relaxing right before I was up... stretching alone and trying to keep my head clear and telliing myself I am just out there to have a good time. I always felt like I did much better after I stopped stressing over the idea of losing.
So just have a good time. They are always a lot of fun. |

Liverpool head south on Sunday afternoon to play West Ham at Upton Park in what promises to be a tight Premier League clash. Both sides will be eager for the three points and at this stage the bookmakers are expecting this to be a tight game. There has been one or two positive signs from Liverpool over the past month as they have slowly climbed the table but they face a West Ham side in good form and who have started the season in fine style.
Upton Park was buzzing last weekend when the Hammers came from a goal down to defeat Chelsea 3-1 and another win against Liverpool would see them move up from their current position of eighth in the table. Sam Allardyce has got his direct style of play working well at West Ham and so far they have surprised a few having been in the Championship last season. Kevin Nolan has been key for them from midfield with his goals tally proving vital over the past month or two.
West Ham have lost just one of their eight home games to date this season but despite that they go in as the under dogs against Liverpool. Punters wanting to back West ham to claim all three points against Liverpool can currently get a decent looking price of 2/1 with Paddy Power. They will have to do without Andy Carroll for the next couple of months through injury but he wouldn't have been available for this one anyway against his parent club.
Liverpool have improved over the last few weeks as they have climbed up to 11th in the table and Brendan Rodgers will be eager for that run to continue at Upton Park. They picked up another 1-0 win in the week when they beat Udinese in Italy to qualify for the knock-out stages of the Europa League and that win should give them a lift ahead of this one. They will be without Luis Suarez on Sunday through suspension leaving Liverpool in the ridiculous situation of going into a key game without a recognised senior striker in their ranks.
Even taking that into account Liverpool are the slight favourites with the bookmakers with punters able to back them at 11/8 with PaddyPower to win the game by any score line. Its fair to say that Liverpool are tough to beat at the moment having lost just one of their last ten League games but you do worry where the goals will come from on Sunday afternoon.
As with most Premier League games this looks like a tough one to call and with neither side proving to be prolific this season we don't envisage too many goals at Upton Park. Liverpool will need someone to step up to the plate in the absence of Suarez while The Hammers will be dangerous from set pieces as always. Taking that into account we do like the chances of the match finishing 1-1 which does offer some nice value in the correct score market.

"Most dudes dream of dick. By that I mean at one point or another most every trans guy has dreamt of having a dick of their own or having a bigger dick or having a dick in them. You get the point, guys like dick in someway or another. I myself spent the better part of my first years on T obsessing over it. Alas, I am cash poor and don't want to have anymore surgery. So I searched for a dick that made sense. I don't love packing without purpose. Mostly because if I'm gonna "do it" at the... Read More"
""A friend suggested that, to finish the evening off, we hire a Manhattan-based company that scans and makes 3-D replicas of your private parts. That's where I drew the line.""
"Is your dick so glorious that you think it needs a twin-dick? Well then I have the event for you! Right now in New York City, 3Dea is happening, a popup store/printing lab that shines a light on the art of 3D printing. The gist of it: You can get pretty much anything printed in 3D, including your penis. Yay, technology! (And I really do mean that.) Ottimo Massimo of Fleshbot went through the process, and it is so fascinating! They use lasers to scan your penis and then print out a dildo with your exact length, girth, curve, and... Read More"
"Adore your Shih Tzu? Now it's possible to create a tiny replica of Fluffy in figurine form for your office. You could also create customized jewelry or an iPhone case. What might be called extreme personalization is moving closer to mainstream consumers who don't want to invest in an industrial 3D printer themselves. This is all thanks to a number of companies whose mission is to give everyone access to high-end 3D technology normally used by large corporations to create product prototypes."
"3D printing is taking over the world one industry at a time – and sex toys are no different! At 3DEA we're bringing back the Personalized Sex Toy Scanning just in time for Valentine's Day <3. In collaboration with New York Toy Collective and Direct Dimension's ShapeShot, Openhouse offers the newest technology to make civilization's favorite hobby even more interesting."
""It all started because I wanted a silicone 'pack and play,'" said Chelsea Downs, co-founder of the New York Toy Collective, a group that hand-makes affordable silicone dildos in Brooklyn. We were speaking over the phone about the Collective's line of "adult" toys, which are gaining widespread praise for being the most realistic on the market — the enigmatic "pack and play" particularly."
"Tech industry enthusiasts have called three-dimensional (3D) printing one of the hottest technological advancements expected to go mainstream in 2013. At the forefront of the innovation for mobile devices is cell phone maker Nokia, who on Friday announced the release of the 3D-printing Development Kit (3DK) that will allow users to create their own customizable back shells for its new Lumia 820 handset."
"Forget buying sex toys — Tom Nardone wants you to print them. Nardone runs MakerLove, a website where he posts sex toy designs for 3D printer owners to try out. An engineer-turned-vibrator salesman, Nardone's toys include the Hello Kitty-inspired Hello Pussycat, the tongue-shaped Organic Communicator, and the strangely but aptly named Freaky Freud. His work combines art with science, technology with pleasure. But while Nardone isn't sure whether MakerLove will revolutionize the sex toy industry, he is sure of one thing: The 3D printer will undoubtedly become a sex machine."
"You know how us dames are always telling you that we wish we could cast your manhood in bronze and carry it with us in our purse, so we'd accidentally wrap our hands around it while we were looking for our keys and grin, mischievously? No? I'm sorry, that must be a sore spot for you. Regardless, our days of wishin' and hopin' are over; a company called 3DEA has made it possible for you to create an exact replica of your junk, using 3D printing technology and some silicone. That's right, the same material that sex toys are made... Read More"
"Looks like our sexual culture is evolving and being altered by technology – companies are not only printing out prototypes sent by sex toy designers with desktop 3D printer, but also offering services to help you generate customized 3D sex toy. 3DEA, a Pop-Up store in New York featuring cutting-edge brands like Shapeways, Ultimaker, and UP! plus 3D printer, set up a very private 3DEA appointment on Monday December 10, 2012."
"How cocky do you have to be to clone your own dick? I bet you can't find me one dude who thinks his dick is good enough to be laser scanned and turned into a dildo. My dick is certainly not worthy of that. There's a reason why chicks buy dildos and vibrators that are like 12 inches long and 4 inches thick with glitter and sparkles and shit. Because real dicks are awful. Real dicks are small and weird colors with floppy skin and stuff. I mean how often do you see surveys and studies and shit that say... Read More"
"As 3D-printing becomes more prevalent in the world, adopted by all sorts of industries due to its cost-effectiveness and eco-friendliness, companies like the New York Toy Collective have decided to get a little intimate. Know for producing quality sex toys, this company endeavors to create replicas of customers' penises and vaginas using 3D technology. While some people are printing such toys in the comfort of their own home, others are hoping to personalize them in a more convenient manner."
"Christmas is coming, and there's no better way to stuff the stocking of that special someone.3DEA, a pop-up 3D printing store in New York City, is offering customized dildos formed from laser scans — and 3D print-outs — of customers' penises."
"Using photomasking techniques similar to those developed for producing integrated circuit chips, scientists at MIT and Harvard have developed an inexpensive way of Creating 3D brain tissues in a lab dish, using brain cells from the primary cortex of rats, opening up new areas of brain and neural research."
"Forget buying sex toys — Tom Nardone wants you to print them. Nardone runs MakerLove, a website where he posts sex toy designs for 3D printer owners to try out. An engineer-turned-vibrator salesman, Nardone's toys include the Hello Kitty-inspired Hello Pussycat, the tongue-shaped Organic Communicator, and the strangely but aptly named Freaky Freud. His work combines art with science, technology with pleasure."
"News: the rise of affordable 3D printers is sparking a boom in demand for personalised sex toys that can be ordered online or printed at home. A raft of new companies are springing up to cater for the growing market for toys that can be customised according to taste and fabricated on domestic printers, preventing the potential awkwardness of receiving items in the post."
"Maybe you consider yourself the best adult toy of all. There has long been ways of making a replica of certain body parts, usually involving long, uncomfortable sessions with a big bucket of "quick-drying" plaster that can just not harden fast enough. But now we live in the digital age, where laser scanning can make a 100-percent accurate digital model of your pertinent parts."
"As 3D printing expands its influence into mainstream culture, plenty of amazing things are happening. There are a lot of 3D printing companies expanding and getting more funding, but enterprising designers are finding more and more ways to use the fledgling printing technology. While some of these uses are a bit troubling (like piracy of copyrighted material and firearms), others show that, with enough ingenuity, 3D printing can change lives. Let's take a look at some of the industry's bigger stories from this year."
"You're always looking for a gift that really reflects who you are and your true feelings about the person you're giving it to. You're sensitive like that. Well, this is one way of doing things… Embrace your odd sense of familiarity with The Personalized Sex Toy, a giftable pleasure-delivery vessel that's an exact 3D-printed replica of your own vessel, reddening faces and changing lives at the 3DEA Pop Up."
"This Valentine's Day, take that maxim to its logical and ridiculous extent when you enjoin 3DEA to make, yes, a personalized sex toy out of your manhood. So. Ahem. Here's the thrust of it: you book an appointment with the 3DEA team in a private Eventi suite reserved exclusively for you."
"Pop-Up store 3DEA in New York which opened for the holidays, allowing customers to print all kinds of things (jewellery, Xmas tree ornaments, toys…), has also been offering customised 3D sex toys. But by appointment only. 3ders.org reports. You and your loved one will be greeted with champagne and chocolate. After a quick tutorial on how to perfect your scan, you can then enter the ShapeShot 3D scanning booth. The ShapeShot cams will capture you in your full glory and these 3D images will be used to print out a prototype on a 3D printer."
"Not sure what to ask for from your guy for Christmas? Tell him you want a dildo modeled out of a 3D printout of his penis for those lonely nights when he's out of town. Yes, it's a thing: 3DEA—a new pop-up (ha!) shop in NYC—is now offering the service. It's pretty simple: Your guy gets a quick tutorial, then hops in the booth for a quick penis photo shoot. A 3D model is then created from the photos and shipped off to New York Toy Collective and the pros there create the one-of-a-kind dildo."
"Chelsea and Parker from the New York Toy Collective jump on the show to talk about building a better sex toy. We talk about what inspired them to build their own toys, the science behind it, finding a penis model, how their families reacted to it and their adventures along the way."
"The traditional model of manufacturers making things and consumers buying them could be shattered by 3D printing technology. Technology magazines have hailed 3D printing as a new industrial revolution, predicting a machine in every home and 3D-printed products covering anything from plates to planes. And for the first time consumers can own the means of production."
"It's not just Romney and Obama anymore! Thanks to dropping costs and the nagging sense of terrible shame that comes with entering a sex shop no matter how liberated you are, custom, 3D-printed sex toys are now officially a "phenomenon," according to Dezeen. There's MakerLove and Dongiverse, two alternate-universe versions of Thingiverse that specialize in the free sharing of dildo designs, Velv'Or, a "gentlemen's jewelry" brand making 3D-printed products for men, and Cunicode, which plans to offer "luxury" ceramic models."
"Finally, a use for 3D printers that we can all get behind! Two services are now available that can help you generate a sex toy from scratch by using a 3D printer — which can produce preconfigured dildos of various shapes, sizes, and colors. There's even an option to create an exact replica of your very own genitals. But while the idea appears to be total win, the end results aren't completely perfect — at least not yet."
"The 3-D printing pop-up store at the Eventi hotel is offering the chance to have your genitalia scanned and reproduced. Plus, customizable gifts you may actually want to buy. 3DEA, a pop-up store that's evangelizing about 3-D printing (No idea what this is? Watch the video at the end!) at the Eventi hotel, is reprising its personalized sex-toy scanning service. As in, a replica of your own [coughs]."
"One goal has long evaded sex toy engineers: an exact replica of a human penis. Not just any penis, but yours, with all the contours and skin tone that the good Lord gave you rather than those unnaturally smooth and luridly pink options. Plaster molds and other attempts take too long and often leave the customer limp with disappointment. Now, thanks to 3D printing, the era of the perfectly cloned mini-you has arrived; finally, you can be in two places at once, as it were."
"Take it from me: if you go to get your penis scanned and turned into a dildo, try not to think about the fact that your cock is patiently throbbing at the intersection of chemistry, sculpting, laser photography, sex toy manufacturing, 3D printing, American-made goods, and LGBTQ concerns. It will make you flaccid, and that's no way to pose for a picture."
"Noah Kaplan is here to get his dick scanned. He gestures wildly, his bathrobe peeking open as he rapidly recounts why he's doing this, going on and off the record about his sexual preferences. I can barely keep up. We're in a room at the Eventi Hotel in Chelsea, where Kaplan is sitting in front of an impressive camera that can scan in three dimensions and create a virtual model of any object. Today, that camera is going to be used to scan Kaplan's penis from several angles. Experts will then composite those scans into one image that will be... Read More"
"The most exciting developing technology at the moment, 3D printing continues to present us with new and fascinating ways to bring just about anything to life in solid, customizable form. Novelty is one thing, however—true innovation is another. One industry showing huge growth in relation to 3D printing is that of sex toys."
"3DEA, a pop-up 3D printing store in New York City, is offering customized dildos formed from laser scans — and 3D print-outs — of customers' penises. The process is pretty simple: After a "quick tutorial on how to perfect your scan," the excited buyer enters a scanning booth, where ShapeShot technology snaps some images of the patron's manhood, then uses those images to print out a 3D model. They send the model to New York Toy Collective, where sex toy professionals use the print-out to create a one-of-a-kind dildo."
"One of the things I want to do, and then use as a backers' reward, is cast a mold of my penis, from which to make dildos, candles, chocolates, and so on. The possibilities for ridiculous products are endless. (I also just think the idea is hilarious.) On the advice of Searah (owner of Early to Bed and all-around awesome gal) I emailed a few sex toy manufacturers, hoping for some advice and – maybe! – some help with the project. On Thursday, 12/6, I received an email from the New York Toy Collective."

The New Dick Van Dyke Show is an American sitcom starring Dick Van Dyke that aired on CBS from 1971 to 1974. It was Van Dyke's first return to series television since The Dick Van Dyke Show.
CBS was so eager to have Van Dyke return to their network that they signed him to a three-year contract. Van Dyke was living in Cave Creek, Arizona at the time and did not want to move back to Hollywood, so the network agreed to film the show at Southwestern Studio on Stage 1 in nearby Carefree, Arizona.[1] Dick Van Dyke Show creator Carl Reiner wrote and directed numerous episodes, also serving as creative consultant.
Van Dyke starred as Dick Preston, a local television talk show host in Phoenix, Arizona. Like Van Dyke's previous series, this show divided its time between Dick's job in television and his home life with his wife and child. The show featured Hope Lange as his wife, Jenny; Arizona native Angela Powell as their daughter, Annie; Fannie Flagg as his sister, Mike; David Doyle as his boss, Ted; and Marty Brill and Nancy Dussault as the Prestons' friends, Bernie and Carol Davis. The Prestons also had a son, Lucas (played by Michael Shea seasons 1–2; Wendell Burton season 3), who was away at college and seen occasionally.[1]
The show's Nielsen ratings were good during the first season. The show had a timeslot in CBS's highly rated Saturday night lineup which included All in the Family, Funny Face and The Mary Tyler Moore Show,[2] which starred Van Dyke's former co-star. The ratings, however, were much lower than the shows surrounding it. It ranked #18 and obtained a 22.2 rating. In its second season, the show was moved to the network's low-rated Sunday night lineup and the ratings fell tremendously.[2] CBS wanted to cancel the show but they had Van Dyke under a three-year contract, so the network decided to retool the show.
The final season[edit]
For the third season, the setting and production of the show moved to Hollywood. Dick and his family move there after he lands a role in a soap opera called Those Who Care in which he played Dr. Brad Fairmont. New cast members included Dick Van Patten as the show's producer, Barry Gordon as the show's writer, Henry Darrow as the stage manager, Barbara Rush as the show's star, and Richard Dawson and Chita Rivera as the Prestons' neighbors. In the fall of 1973, the beginning of its third year, CBS gave the series another time slot, this time on Monday nights at 9:30 P.M. immediately following Here's Lucy starring Lucille Ball. The network felt that Ball's series would provide a strong lead-in for The New Dick Van Dyke Show.
An episode produced for the third season, "Lt. Preston of the 4th Cavalry," included an off-camera scene in which Dick and Jenny's daughter walked in on them while they were having sex. CBS refused to air the episode, claiming it was incompatible with Van Dyke's family-friendly image. This so incensed Carl Reiner that he refused to continue on the show beyond the third season, citing the network's hypocrisy. Notably, CBS at this time was allowing a number of other shows, such as All in the Family, which featured Reiner's son, Rob, to deal openly with much more controversial topics. Reiner promised never to work in television, particularly CBS, again.[3]
Some sources have inaccurately reported that the controversial unaired episode was produced during the second season, and that Carl Reiner quit the series before the start of the third season. In fact, the episode was produced during the third season and Carl Reiner remained as producer of the series until the final episode, which he also wrote and directed.[4]
Although the show's ratings improved, Van Dyke did not enjoy working away from his home and did not want to continue the show without Reiner. After the third season, he chose not to renew his contract and moved back to Arizona.
The show was rarely run in syndication, though various local stations aired it occasionally in the 1970s. In the early-1990s, reruns aired briefly on TNT. In 2002, the christmas episode "The Jailbird" aired as part of TVLand's traditional classic Christmas show marathon. In 2004, the show aired on GoodLife TV Network. The reruns included the previously unaired episode "Lt. Preston of the 4th Cavalry".
