New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie just called New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady an "a-hole" before their matchup on Sunday.
Except he didn't just say "a-hole." He said the full word.
Tom Brady responded with, "I've been called worse."
After the Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Los Angeles Lakers 112-57 yesterday, former Cavs star LeBron James reportedly tweeted, "Karma is a [b-word]."
Except he didn't say "b-word." He said a word equivalent to "a female dog."
Ah, so much love in the air at the start of the new year.
For more insults and today's late sports buzz, follow along throughout the night.

Several people have already pointed out that you can either
run FreeBSD/i386+PAE or FreeBSD/amd64 (64bit).
However, there's an important piece of information missing:
_Why_ did you install 16 GB of RAM? The answer to that
question might give an indication which of the two ways
would be best for you.
For example, if you need to run a single large application
that needs much RAM, then i386+PAE won't help you at all,
because you still have a 4 GB address space limit and a
4 GB process size limit. Actually much less than 4 GB
because the 32bit address space is shared between kernel
and userland.
To get rid of the 4 GB limit completely, you must install
FreeBSD/amd64. Also, amd64 code is often (but not always)
faster than i386 code.
My recommendation is that you use amd64, unless there is
a specific reason you can't do that, e.g. you depend on
a driver or third-party software that won't run on amd64.
Then i386+PAE is your only choice, unfortunately.

Identify and describe the basic epidemiological variables: agent, person, place, and time
Two fundamental assumptions in all epidemiological investigations
Health states do not occur randomly in a population;
Human disease has causal and preventive factors.
One of four elements in epidemiology. An element of force that, under proper conditions (presence or absence), can initiate or perpetuate a health problem.
One of four elements in epidemiology. An element which relationship of various characteristics of individuals to the health of the population.
Four types of person
Genetic(race, gender), Biologic (age, nutritional state), Behavioral (religion, habits), Sociodemographic and socioeconomic (marital status, level of education)
One of four elements in epidemiology. This can be on a global scale or any other geographic area.
One of four elements in epidemiology. 1) short-term, measured in hours, days, weeks, or months; 2) periodic, including seasonal or cyclic, or 3) long term, extending over decades.
Concern about Time also includes the natural history of disease. This includes incubation periods, length of symptomatology, length of epidemics etc.

No Stalling around. Stephanie Stalls goes for the whole she-bang tomorrow
Posted by Elliot James on Jul 18, 2012 in Behind the Scenes, Deep Inside Scoreland, New at Scoreland, Poll
If one picture is worth a thousand words, writers would be writing captions only.
And if one pic is worth a thousand words, how many words is a video clip worth?
While pondering these Zen-like statements, please also ponder the amazing sight of Kentucky kutee Stephanie Stalls as she shuts off her brakes and goes for total wildness with two eager fellows.
Stephanie's huge, 40 inch, 34F tits will also weigh heavily upon your mind as you ponder this subject.
As Dave wrote last week about seeing a girl get double penetrated, there are good things (wild and crazy sex) and bad things (way too much guy-ass).
Only a tiny handful of SCORE Girls have done DP in 20 years.
In a poll currently on the SCORELAND home page, only 31% like to see DPs while 36% would rather see two-girl/one-guy threesomes.
The only SCORE Girl I've ever met who absolutely loves double-penetration was Annina. "Me riding the man who is in my ass reverse-cowgirl and the other man in my pussy, or with me on all fours riding one man while the other is in my ass," Annina told me when I asked her which positions she prefers.
Look out for those couch burns.

Let's have a candid conversation about double penetration
Posted by Dave on Jul 13, 2012 in Behind the Scenes, Deep Inside Scoreland, DVD, Other SCORE Group websites
Today, I'm going to talk to you about DP. You know, double penetration. Totally stuffed. A cock in her pussy and a cock in her ass at the same time. Double dicking.
If you haven't noticed, there isn't a lot of that at SCORELAND, SCOREVideos.com and XLGirls.com There's some, but not much. Daphne Rosen gets DP'd in Boob Science (the scene is at SCOREVideos.com; the photos are at SCORELAND). Jasmine Black gets a cock in her ass and another in her pussy at the same time in Busty Riding Academy (this scene is at SCOREVideos.com). Holly Halston gets double-stuffed in My Wife, Your Meat (also at SCORELAND). And, off the top of my head, that's it.
There's a reason we've filmed so few DP scenes with SCORE Girls (although many of them were perfectly willing to enjoy a double-dicking if we had asked). Here at The SCORE Group, we're boob focused, and when a girl is getting her pussy and ass drilled at the same time, it goes without saying that the focus is going to move away from her chest. Second, we're well aware (because we've heard it so many times from so many members and readers) that a lot of you don't want to see "too much guy." Well, when the camera closes in for the hot stuff in a DP scene, there's a LOT of guy. Hanging balls. Cocks. Man ass. All the stuff many of you have said you don't want to see. In a DP scene, it's unavoidable, which is why when we've filmed three-way anal scenes with two studs, the guys usually take turns on the girl's ass rather than filling her pussy and ass at the same time.
I'm bringing this up because next week at SCORELAND, we're going to present a rare DP scene, and it's a good one because Stephanie Stalls will be the recipient. Yep, the short 'n' super-stacked house dancer from Kentucky is going to have her pussy and asshole filled with meat at the same time, and our cameras will be zooming in to capture all the details.
Are you looking forward to that?
Do you like DP scenes?
Would you like to see more of them?
Or do you think SCORELAND should be a no-DP zone?
Let us know because if you're all-in on DP, then…well, you can finish this sentence yourself.

Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War - Soulstorm Review
Will surely touch the soul of every RTS geek who's ever dreamt of being a Space Marine.
While we're perfectly happy to see a refinement of what makes Dawn of War great, we don't like new features that just get in the way. We're talking about the turn-based campaign meta game that will be instantly familiar to fans of Dark Crusade. Built into Soulstorm's campaign, the meta-game focuses on requisition, taking control of some 31 territories across four planets and three moons, and fortifying strongholds as you bid to conquer the deep-lying Kaurava system. Soulstorm's story revolves around a warp storm which has attracted the attention of the game's nine races, who all want the Kaurava system, and the secret behind the warp storm, to themselves.
When you start the campaign your race already has a stronghold on one of the system's territories. During each turn you can move your forces to a nearby territory and attack (triggering a traditional, on the surface Dawn of War battle). Win the battle and you'll take over the territory and gain requisition points, to be spent on buying buildings and units that guarantee a force of some description will be immediately available should an enemy force attack you and draw you into ground combat. Each faction has a racial ability - the Dark Eldar for example can travel across the Kaurava system via Ancient Gates, while other races can only move to nearby territories. Conquer an enemy race by capturing the territory which houses their stronghold and you'll obliterate them completely and assimilate their racial powers.
The point to make about this campaign meta-game is that, while initially amusing, it quickly gets in the way of Dawn of War's traditional RTS combat. Indeed we found it became quite an annoyance pretty quickly. We suspect some gamers will love it and some will hate it, since it's effectively ended the cutscene-style single-player campaign story we loved from the original game. It may be an easy to understand and pretty cool bonus feature, but we reckon it's ended up being a hurdle through which fans are forced to jump if they want to get down to the nitty gritty RTS gameplay.
We're sure that Soulstorm will be of most interest to gamers who own Dawn of War and perhaps the previous two expansions already, but RTS fans of all kinds should be interested. Soulstorm is a stand alone expansion, meaning you'll be able to use all nine races in the single-player campaign and single-player skirmishes, but if you haven't got the original game installed on your PC, and the other expansions, you'll only have access to the Dark Eldar and the Sisters of Battle in multiplayer, which is where Dawn of War excels.
The graphics look a little dated - in the four years following Dawn of War's release much better-looking RTS games have been released, including Relic's own Company of Heroes - but the unit animations still have a cool factor missing from many of its rivals. And Soulstorm, like its predecessors, does a great job of providing an intense, war-torn, battlefield for you to play with. But the most important thing is that the game is great fun, and will surely touch the soul of every RTS geek who's ever dreamt of being a Space Marine.

Speedy The Gerbil's Self-Taught TrickI have a beautiful memory of one of my gerbils. Speedy and her partner Gimpy lived together in a double cage. Their wheel was close to one of the lower shelves. Sometimes, when Speedy was in the right mood, she would sit on the edge of the ledge and spin the wheel with her front paws! She learned that trick all by herself. It amazed us that she did it. She was my first gerbil. I will always remember Speedy and Gimpy. They taught me how to be a proper gerbil owner. Diane Nott, Ohio
Silver The Caring Bunny After visiting the Wisconsin House Rabbit Society during a business trip, I learned a few months later that a Flemish Giant male was available; I adopted him from them. The glitch was that he came with a mate, a Standard Chinchilla female. I would not separate a bonded pair, so I sent for both of them. Sadly, the Flemish passed away before making it to me, leaving Silver alone. She had already had her front teeth removed due to a broken face, and now she had lost her mate; it was just too much.
I already had a trio of one male and two female bunnies. When Silver arrived, they decided they would not tolerate adding her to the group. Because she had no front teeth, she was also unable to protect herself, so she became the upstairs bunny.
My father was living with us and took over caring for Silver. He chopped her romaine and grated her carrots so she could eat. I would hear him telling her why she couldn't just eat cilantro because her mean mommy (me) insisted she have a balanced diet. In those seven years, Silver never once tried to come down the stairs to interact with the other rabbits, even when my father took long vacations or during his hospital stays. She just waited for me to come up and feed her in his absence.
The day my father passed away, I came home from the hospital and looked up to see Silver coming down the stairs. After several weeks, I took her back upstairs. She hopped down the hall to my father's bedroom, looked into his empty room then turned back down the hall and went back downstairs. Somehow she knew he was not coming back this time and that her job of taking care of him was done. She never went back up again in the last four years of her life. Only then did I realize that he wasn't taking care of her, Silver was taking care of my dad, making sure he had a purpose and responsibility. Thank you, Silver. Linda Oleszko, Michigan

Lake Erie Moments: Water Warfare
Joe Lewis had been waiting for this moment since last year: weather warm enough to wage a water balloon war with his brother Jacob and friends Chance Adamski and Carter Willis.
And so on a recent warm day full of filling water balloons at the Lewis residence, a battle erupted as Joe, 12, snatched up a balloon and chased after Chance as Jacob, 5, and Carter watched nearby. As Carter, 12, sprayed Joe with the hose, a splash and a yelp -- "Cold!" -- from Chance indicated that Joe had hit his own mark.
"I just got some water balloons earlier today, and we had to use them," said Chance, 10. "It's great this time of year because we don't have as much to worry about for school."
"We love summer," Joe said. "This neighborhood is nice because we have so many kids around."
"It's been so cold for so long, so it's time to get out and play," he added. "And it's perfect for water balloons."

Oklahoma City Thunder (0-1) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (2-1)
Time: 7:30 CST
Watch here
Laker roster
Thunder roster
After that disaster Sunday night against Memphis, let's hope for a slightly better effort tonight. No Russell Westbrook this evening for Oklahoma City, but everybody else should be good to go. I'd like to see James Harden assert himself a little more in the offense and hopefully Serge Ibaka plays a little more like he did in Orlando.
The team was clearly tired Sunday night after five games in five days and then a trip cross country. If anything, you just want to to see them get their legs back under them and compete. Wins don't matter one bit in Summer League, but getting better sure does. And going through games half-way doesn't get you any better.
Also Oklahomans that prefer orange may take more interest in this game than most as it could feature three former Cowboys: Marcus Dove playing for the Thunder and Terrel Harris and David Monds for the Lakers.

It's a fair question. There are lots of folks who will say "deploying with .pdb's kill performance"…to some extent this is true, but not as true as some folks would like to think, especially with machines running as fast as they do lately. That being said, there are really 2 different development scenarios that deploying with .pdb's applies to:
In an IT setting, the environment is usually (hopefully) much more controlled than in a scenario where an ISV develops a product and ships it to a remote location that they have no control over. I come from more of the IT realm, but I'll attempt to cover both camps.
As it relates to corporate IT, deploying .pdb's with your project actually isn't as bad as it appears at first glance. From my experience, it actually makes a lot of sense…when stuff comes crashing down it's just that much easier/quicker to fire up a debugger, attach to the remote machine, and get stuff working again. Something else I've come across (in what I thought was a well known secret, but apparently still is not) is that a lot of folks don't realize that an application doesn't have to be deployed in a debug build to be debugged. You can instruct the compiler to generate .pdb's for any type of build (debug/release/etc); so long as the .pdb files are present, a debugger can be attached (so long as debugging is enabled in the application). The flip side to that is applications deployed as a debug build don't need the .pdb's to run (though that's an unlikely scenario) so long as debugging is turned off. And that's the key…it boils down to whether the application is set up to be debugged. If it's not, the .pdb's won't be loaded and will sit there harmlessly. Of course enabling debugging in an application means an application restart which is generally unacceptable in a corporate setting so it may be a good idea to leave debugging enabled depending on your situation, and of course if debugging is enabled the .pdb's are expected to be there. That all being said, you should always deploy an application with optimizations turned on as they will almost always run faster than sans ops.
A good rule of thumb is to generate .pdb files for all of your builds, regardless of if you are actually going to deploy said .pdb's with the application; one reason being that the .pdb's generated during the default debug build process in Visual Studio more than likely won't be compatible with with a default release build…the reason is simple enough, default debug builds have optimizations off, while the default release configuration has optimizations turned on. I've come across some strangeness in the past attempting to use .pdb's generated for debug in a release build. They might work, they might not…eventually they'll hit some code that wasn't optimized in the debug build that is optimized in the release build…it's an interesting sight to say the least and has left me scratching my head on more than one occasion in the past, only to realize the .pdb's didn't match the build configuration they were expecting. The main point is that since IT is in a controlled setting, deploying .pdb's doesn't have the potential ramifications as it would for ISV's as the development environment is only accessible by the developers themselves.
As it relates to ISV's, it is most certainly not a good idea to ship your .pdb's with your application; mainly because you don't want your customers making their own fixes (if they're technically savvy enough) as that would fragment the application…bug fixes need to remain centralized for quality control, and you don't want them to even have the option to fix bugs. More importantly however…once you have the .pdb's to an application, you basically have the secret sauce as your entire application can be stepped through and completely reverse engineered if someone chose to do so (perhaps one of your competitors). Of course I realize that anyone can fire up reflector (or ILDASM) and decompile an assembly, but .pdb's make this much easier to do as everything is pretty much out in the open.
Regardless of what setting you find yourself in, .pdb's need to be treated as first class citizens just like there assembly brethren. They should be versioned and stored in a source repository in a subdirectory in the application tree, and stored securely somewhere else as well. When it comes time to head off to a client site to fix some strangeness that only they are seeing (which happens more often than not), simply grab the .pdb's from source control that match the version of their application, put 'em on a disc, drop 'em in the application, and debug away.
So, to summarize:
Sorry for the long winded post, but I've seen .pdb abuse more often than not, and it's one of those things that you don't really see mentioned all that often. So I thought I would mention it.

I was born in a small town in upstate New York. At a young age I was influenced by my grandmother, Shirley, who was a graduate of Juilliard for piano. I remember listening to grandma play and dancing around with my older brother, Lee. I had such a love for music – the way it connects people. I also remembers bragging to anyone who would listen that grandma dated Leonard Bernstein while at Juilliard. Obviously, still bragging….
I was always involved in high school theater productions – my music teachers were my closest friends. It was then I knew there was nothing else I'd rather do than perform!
I went on to study acting at SUNY Binghamton. After graduating Cum Laude, I packed my bags and two days later was living on my brother's couch in his New York City apartment. New York City gave way to many theater opportunities. I was involved in brand new musical workshops and other singing events. However, like most actors, I booked jobs which allowed me to see other places all over the world. I had the opportunity to travel around the Baltic singing on a cruise ship. Eventually I landed in Hershey, Pennsylvania where I would frequent twice a year for two years working with Matt Davenport Productions. While performing in Hershey, I won Best Female Entertainer of the Year in 2011 for the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions. Very thankful for those months spent in Hershey because I also met the love of my life.
In December of 2011 I auditioned for The General Jackson Showboat in Nashville, TN. One of the only remaining attractions from the Gaylord Opryland Park, I was extremely thankful to book the gig! I have been singing 5 and 6 nights a week on the boat ever since. The show ranges in genre of music – everything from Stax Records to gospel to Carrie Underwood.
Singing has always been a strong point for me, however, I felt like something was missing. This summer I decided to hone in on that missing element and started taking acting classes at the Nashville Acting Studio under the tutelage of Jessejames Locorriere and Caroline Locorriere. Focusing on scene study and acting for the camera, I'm developing my craft and becoming a more well-rounded performer.
This past October I signed with The Avenue Agency. I'm eager and ready to see where 2014 will take me! Please keep checking back for more news and updates.
Hope you enjoyed learning a little more about me!

INDECENT EXPOSURE, OHIO TURNPIKE: Police have received numerous reports of a white male in his 20s exposing himself to motorists along the Ohio Turnpike.
Between May 16 and July 12 police received reports that the man, who has short brown or reddish hair, was seen along the westbound lane of the turnpike. Most of the incidents have taken place in the grassy area near mile marker 168, between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Police have searched the area east of State Road and north of the turnpike. Other reports have the man near the Broadview Heights and Strongsville borders.
ACCIDENT, RIDGE ROAD: A driver who wound up in a ditch was arrested for failing to maintain control of his vehicle and driving while impaired, among other things, at about midnight July 5.
The man was walking along the road when an officer approached. He claimed he ended up in the ditch due to "bad gas" he had gotten at a gas station. He said his car had been dying, and when he pulled to the side of the road he didn't realize the ditch was there.
The man failed a field sobriety test, and his blood alcohol content was 0.277.
IMPAIRED DRIVER, RIDGE ROAD: A man found slumped over the wheel of his truck in a parking lot was arrested for driving while impaired at about 2 a.m. July 7.
Officers had to shake the man to wake him. The man explained that his poor knee was the reason for failing the field sobriety test, although he admitted to having been drinking.
FOUND PROPERTY, ROYALTON ROAD: A small purse was found in the flowerbed of Taco Bell around 11 p.m. July 14.
Police were unable to locate any contact information from the ID found inside the purse.
SUSPICION, STATE ROAD: A man began to worry employees of US Bank as he became agitated and lingered inside and outside the building at approximately 9 a.m. July 12.
The male was peeking through the windows of the bank prior to its opening. Once inside, he walked around the inside of the bank for 10 minutes before approaching a teller.
The man became agitated and asked to use a bank telephone. When he was told he couldn't use the phone, he went outside and lingered near the building's electrical box before leaving.
Police were unable to locate the man.
WELFARE CHECK, LISA LANE: A man contacted police after a suspicious phone call around 2:30 a.m. July 8 with someone who may or may not have been his father.
The man said he believed someone had impersonated his father on the phone call because his father told him he was crazy, and the man said his father would never say that to him.

So I was tagged by two people to list five things people don't know about me.
- I'm a minimalist and dislike clutter. Even things like crown molding "are a bit too much."
- I spend a little time every day dreaming about selling what I own and traveling to far off places.
- If I could be a rap star or rock star I'd choose to be a rap star.
- I like fog.
- I have a phrase that I say out loud to myself when I'm freaked out and/or exhausted while climbing or cycling. It helps.
I'm sorry if you previously knew any of these things. You can have a full refund.

Many don't seem to have much reason to hope they'll soon find a job, and two consecutive weak unemployment reports haven't made things look any better.
Serious longerterm issues are rising, like baby boomers retiring from the work force. Some analysts predicted losing those employees will hurt the economy's ability to grow.
Others said the United States will eventually find a way to overcome its problems.
Many conservatives also warn heavy regulations coming out of Washington along with Obamacare will further hinder the job market.

Now if you remember, earlier in this lesson, when we imported our snowstorm title, After Effects asked us what type of alpha channel this layer had. At the time, we clicked on Guess, and After Effects correctly guessed that it was pre-multiplied with white. I thought it would be useful to explain, in a little more detail, the difference between straight and pre-multiplied. Now you will not see this dialog, unless the alpha channel is unlabeled. Unlabeled alpha channels may come from outside of the Creative Suite.
Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects always label their alpha channels, but if you don't ever see this dialog box, I do want to point out that there's a preference that someone may have set that will always get the dialog. Click OK and I'll show you Preferences > Import. The default is to always ask the user if After Effects comes across an unlabeled alpha. If someone had set this preference to Guess, After Effects will always guess, and sometimes it guesses incorrectly. So I like to leave it set to Ask User.
That way it makes me think whenever I come across an unlabeled alpha channel. Now if I drag this title I just imported into my composition, I can see it has a nice shadow fading out to transparency. Again, my background color is transparency. I can also refer to the alpha channel in order to see transparency. But I did want to point out that underneath the hood, After Effects processes all layers for transparency as if they had a straight alpha channel.
You can see this view by checking on the Channel's pop up and selecting RGB straight. Whoa! This looks a little strange, but this is actually what's going on underneath the hood. The drop shadow surrounding the letters is being extended all the way out well past the edge of the shadow. You could think of this as it's bleeding. It's bleeding the color all the way past the edge of the alpha channel. So when the alpha channel is used, you get a nice clean image.
So even though the black drop shadow was originally mixed with a white color, After Effects has un-multiplied the white and has returned the shadow to be 100% black. Now you will never work in this view, but it's sometimes worth looking at it just to reiterate how After Effects renders internally. Now to explain the differences between straight and pre-multiplied, I created a couple of files that I will open in Photoshop. First, I'd like to remind you what a normal Photoshop layered file would look like.
I probably would have created it as a layered file on a transparent background. In that case, the channels would simply say RGB. It would not have a separate alpha channel. That's because each layer in Photoshop has an alpha channel built-in. When I save this file and import it into After Effects, the alpha channel would be labeled, so After Effects would not ask me to interpret it. I just wanted to point out this version first, before we see the two odd versions I've created.
The first one is pre-multiplied with white. This is the same file we imported earlier. In this case, my image is on the background, and I have RGB and alpha, four channels--a 32-bit file, in other words--and the transparency is built into the alpha channel. Now you probably know that the background layer in Photoshop has no alpha channel, so that's why we had to create the alpha channel separately. Now normally, you would not create a file like this directly in Photoshop, but if you were rendering, let's say a 3-D animation from another program, when it renders with an alpha channel, it will be in the form of a 32-bit file: RGB and a separate alpha.
Whether or not it's a pre-multiplied alpha will be determined by how you save it, from that program. If I had saved it as pre-multiplied with white or black or yellow or blue or any color, any areas that are semi-transparent in the color channels would be mixed with that background color. In this case, it's mixed with white. This is why we call this a pre-multiplied with white file. Now, After Effects needs to know this, because it needs to remove the white from that black drop shadow.
Let's look at the other file I have created. This is a straight alpha channel. Again, I'd never create this directly in Photoshop, but this could simulate a frame rendered from a 3-D program, if you set it to render with a straight alpha. In this case, the black shadow would be extended all the way past the edge of the alpha channel. In fact, you may not even see this white background. It would be just totally black all the way to the edge of the frame. The alpha channel, by the way, is the same in all files.
So when After Effects asks you to interpret the alpha channel, it's kind of like a trick question, because the alpha channel is the same in both versions. The difference is how the color channels are created. Are the semi-transparent pixels, mixed with the background color, or do they bleed past the edge of the semitransparent pixels in the alpha? Let's return to After Effects, and I wanted to point out one other thing. What happens if you interpret the alpha channel incorrectly? In this case, this is my regular title, which has a black shadow. I know it has a black shadow.
I've seen it in Photoshop. And yet when I import it into After Effects, it has this odd white halo. This might be an indication that After Effects guessed incorrectly, or maybe I guessed it incorrectly. Now this is easy to fix. You don't need to re-import the file; the dialog that you saw for interpreting the alpha can be brought up again at any time. So here is the title I am using in this composition, Snowstorm title, and it's being interpreted as having a straight alpha channel.
Now, we know that's not correct. It should be pre-multiplied with white. So if you think the alpha channel is interpreted incorrectly, select the footage item in the Project panel and click on the Interpret Footage button at the bottom left-hand corner of the Project panel. When the Interpret Footage dialog opens, at the top will be the alpha channel options you saw before. The other options below, we will cover those in the later lesson. So again the options for alpha are to ignore the alpha, consider it as a straight alpha--meaning don't do any correction around the edges to try to remove any color--and then pre-multiplied with whichever color you like.
If I click Guess, it will correctly guess it's pre-multiplied with white. When I click OK, After Effects will update its alpha channel interpretation. You can see that it clearly has a nice clean alpha channel. Now the opposite may also be true. Quite often, you may have a title with a nice white glow on a black background, so, the opposite of a black shadow on a white background. In that case, the correct interpretation would be pre-multiplied with black. And if you use straight, then instead of white glow, you would have a black halo.
But generally speaking, if the edges look a little weird, do check the interpretation, and make sure that it's correctly interpreted. I will leave you with this final thought. Here are my three files: the layered Photoshop file, the file pre-multiplied with white with the white removed, and the straight alpha channel. If you're wondering what the difference is, there shouldn't be a difference. If After Effects has correctly interpreted the alpha channel for each individual file, they should all look identical when placed in the composition.
In addition, the alpha channels are also identical. Remember what type of alpha channel it has is a trick question. The alpha channels in this case are exactly the same in each file, and I hope that helps you understand a little about the differences between a pre-multiplied and a straight alpha. Alpha channels is a big subject, but I hope that's enough to get you started, especially when you're importing sources.

At 19, Pete Sampras became the youngest-ever U.S. Open champ—and remained relatively unbeatable for the next decade. In his memoir A Champion's Mind, the dad of two, 36, looks back.
YOU WRITE THAT YOU WEREN'T QUITE READY FOR SUCCESS. I was thrown into the cage of lions. Everyone thought I'd be this smooth, slick winner, but I was a deer in headlights. It took a couple of years to feel more comfortable in my skin.
WHY DID YOU RETIRE IN 2003? I was fine physically, but mentally I was cooked. I always played to win—not for money, not for fame. I'd achieved everything I wanted and more, so I had nothing left to prove to myself. It was time to move on.
TO BEING A DAD? Going straight from retirement to fatherhood was a huge adjustment. But I'm able to do things with my sons that my dad didn't have a chance to, and it's priceless.
LIKE TRAINING THEM TO BE TENNIS PROS? They play a little. I have to tell them to keep the ball inside the court. It's tennis, not baseball!

Maggie Pajak, of Glassboro, was inspired to write a children's book when her husband was deployed to Iraq in 2006.
That book, "Jellybeans: Morning, Noon, and Night," is about two little boys — inspired by her sons Matthew and Andrew —
who love jellybeans of any kind. In their attempt to eat their favorite
food all day — for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — the boys decide to cook
their mom jellybean eggs and jellybean mash potatoes.
"The bedtime stories were a way for us to enjoy a happy moment during a crazy time," said Pajak.
Pajak lives with her two sons Matthew, 10, Andrew 5, and her husband. She grew up in the Wenonah-Woodbury area and graduated from Rider University with a bachelor's of science degree in advertising.
She worked for Book Business magazine as a marketing director in Philadelphia for 12 years. Pajak resigned last year due to the family having to relocate to South Carolina for her husband's deployment assignment. After a month the family returned to New Jersey.
"Jellybeans: Morning, Noon, and Night" has a few lessons that both children and parents can learn, Pajak said. The boys in the story eventually realize that eating jellybeans all day was not such a great idea.
"The lesson for the parents is to let their kids learn on their own." said Pajak. "For the children, the lesson is things are always best in moderation."
The hardcover copy is $16.99 on www.jellybeansmorningnoonandnight.com and the ebook, available soon, is $3.99.
Pajak recently launched a funding campaign on Kickstarter, a website that helps raise money for creative projects, in the hopes of meeting her goal to publish more copies of the book. Her goal was to make $5,000 and she raised $6,000.
Today Pajak is working diligently to finish her second book, "Elf Under Cover," this time, inspired by her nephew.
Elf Logan Tinsel-foot has just graduated college and has earned an invisible trait for his first mission. During the mission he loses his invisibility shield and a child discovers him.
This silly elf will have children in giggles all night long, she said.
"It has a cute storyline," said Pajak.
The second book will be released by the end of the summer as an ebook for $3.99, then as a hardcover book.

Recipes from Year-Round Slow Cooker by Dina Cheney (The Taunton Press)
Apricot Chicken with Carrots
Preparation time: About 1 hour Slow cooker time: 5 to 6 hoursServes 4
Zest of 1 lemon (yellow part only)
1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/3- by 2-inch pieces
30 whole dried apricots (preferably with sulfur, for a pretty color)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon coarse salt
20 grinds black pepper
2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 8 thighs)
More InformationFact box
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups finely chopped white onions (about 2 small)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup apricot nectar, such as Looza®
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed, strained lemon juice
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts, for garnish (optional)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, parsley, or mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Perfect for Rosh Hashanah, this stew is delicious served over couscous or brown rice pilaf with fresh cilantro or parsley. Feel free to use oil for the butter.
1. Place the lemon peel on a piece of cheesecloth, form into a "purse," and secure with kitchen twine. Add it to the slow cooker, along with the carrots and apricots. Place the flour and all of the spices in a large bowl and mix well. Add the chicken and coat well, shaking off the excess and reserving any remaining flour.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and the butter in a 10-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. When the butter is melted, brown the chicken in two batches, about 11 minutes total; add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil if the pan becomes dry. Transfer the chicken to the slow cooker.
3. Add the onions and garlic to the hot pan, and cook until the onions are softened, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and reserved flour and whisk well until the flour disappears, about a minute. Add the nectar, lemon juice, and stock; bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, then pour the sauce over the chicken in the slow cooker. Submerge the chicken.
4. Cover and cook on low until the chicken is cooked through and the carrots are tender, 5 to 6 hours.
Serve, garnishing each portion with nuts and herbs, if desired.
Brisket with Pomegranate, Red Wine and Caramelized Onions
Preparation time: About 1 hour Slow cooker time: About 8 hours
Serves 6
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon coarse salt
8 grinds black pepper
One 3-pound beef brisket
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 red onions, halved and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup red wine, such as Zinfandel
One 14-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, with juices
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed, strained orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup pomegranate seeds, at room temperature, for garnish
Pomegranate molasses and seeds add seasonal flair and a fresh, sweet-tart taste to this brisket, ideal for the Jewish holidays and other special occasions. Prepare this dish a day or two in advance to allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become more tender and flavorful.
Pomegranate molasses is available at many gourmet grocers and at Mideastern markets.
1. Put 1/4 cup of the pomegranate molasses, the mustard, garlic, coriander, salt, and pepper in the slow cooker and use a wooden spoon to mix well. Add the meat and turn to coat with the mixture (use your fingers to smear the mixture all over the meat).
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 10-inch, heavy saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, limp, and sweet, about 20 minutes (discard any strips of red onion skin that separate from the flesh). Pour the onions on top of the meat.
3. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, plus the tomato paste and flour to the pan. Stir until no white flour is visible, about 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the wine; return the pan to the heat, raise the heat to high, and simmer for about 2 minutes, whisking into a smooth, thick sauce. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, the tomatoes with juices, stock, orange juice, and honey, and use a potato masher to gently mash the tomatoes. Boil until smooth and relatively thick, about 4 minutes, then pour over the meat-onion mixture.
4. Cover and cook on low until tender, about 8 hours. Carefully transfer the meat to a cutting board, and let rest for about 10 minutes. With a large shallow spoon or ladle, skim the fat off the top of the cooking juices. Cut the meat against the grain into roughly 1/3-inch-thick slices, mix it back into the sauce, and serve, garnished with the pomegranate seeds.
Spotlight on pomegranates
Pomegranates are large, hard, pink or red round fruits. You only eat their arils; pulp-encased seeds that resemble rubies and boast a sweet-tart berry flavor.
To remove the arils, halve the pomegranate horizontally, place it in a large water-filled bowl, and pull the arils out from the bitter white membranes. You can also thwack the backside of each half with your fist to knock out some arils; these will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or purchase already-removed arils, which I find to be worth the extra price. Follow the use-by date on the package for freshness.
If you buy whole pomegranates, look for heavy, firm, brightly colored fruits. Store them in the fridge for up to 2 months or in a cool, dark place for up to 1 month.
Lamb Stew with Fava Beans and Roasted Garlic Served Over Whole Wheat Couscous
Preparation time: 1 hour Slow cooker time: About 6 hours
Serves 6 to 8
1 whole head garlic
7 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup pomegranate molasses, divided
2 tablespoons honey, divided
1 teaspoon coarse salt
10 grinds black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 pounds butterflied boneless leg of lamb, well trimmed and cut into roughly 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 large red onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rings
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup fruity or spicy red wine, such as Merlot or Shiraz
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 pounds whole fava beans
2 cups carrots, cut into 1/3- by 1 1/2-inch sticks (about 4)
1 cup canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained
In this colorful entree, an intense sweet-and-sour sauce contrasts with the fresh, bright spring vegetables. Couscous is the perfect accompaniment: It soaks up the deep, rich, slightly spicy broth. Look for pomegranate molasses in the gourmet section at your supermarket or at Middle Eastern markets.
For ease, you can use thawed, drained frozen peas or edamame instead of the fresh favas; just stir them in at the end. And to save a bit of time, you can also purchase roasted garlic paste rather than roasting the garlic yourself. Cubed lamb shoulder meat is a good substitute for cubed boneless leg of lamb.
1. Heat the oven to 400° F. Cut the top 1/4 inch off the head of garlic, then place on a piece of foil, drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon oil, and wrap up into a package. Roast until soft, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, squeeze the garlic out of the skins. Add half (1 heaping tablespoon) to a measuring cup, then whisk in the stock. In another large bowl, whisk together the remaining heaping tablespoon garlic with 2 tablespoons oil, the mustard, 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, 2 teaspoons honey, the salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, and cayenne.
2. Add the lamb to the bowl with the mustard mixture, and mix well with your hands. Transfer the meat to the slow cooker. Add 2 tablespoons oil to a 10-inch heavy saute pan and heat over medium high. When hot, add the onions. Saute until they're soft and a bit golden brown, about 10 minutes (don't let them burn). Add to the slow cooker. Reduce the heat to medium and in the same saute pan, add 2 tablespoons oil and the tomato paste and flour. Saute until thickened, about 1 minute. Off the heat, add the wine, then return to the heat and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 2 minutes, then add the garlic-stock mix, the remaining 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses, the remaining 1 tablespoon honey, and the butter. Boil, whisking often, until slightly velvety, 4 more minutes. Pour over the meat, cover, and cook on low until tender, about 6 hours.
3. Meanwhile, fill a large pot three-quarters full of heavily salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Next to it, place a large bowl full of salted ice water. Remove the fava beans from their pods (this should yield about 3 3/4 cups), then boil the beans for 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon or spider, transfer to the ice water, swish around for a minute, then drain. Remove the tender inner beans from their casings (these inner beans should be soft; yield is about 2 cups). In the same pot, boil the carrots until tender, but so they still have a slight bite, about 5 minutes. In the meantime, prepare another ice-water bath. Use a spider to transfer to the ice-water bath, then remove after a minute.
4. Use a shallow spoon or ladle to skim excess fat off the surface of the sauce. Stir the favas, carrots and chickpeas into the meat and sauce; adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve, spooning individual portions over the couscous.
Whole Wheat Couscous with Toasted Pine Nuts and Golden Raisins
Serves 8
2 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken stock
One 12-ounce box whole wheat couscous
1 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup pine nuts, tossed in a dry saute pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
8 grinds black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
This near-instant side offers the perfect bed for the lamb and fava bean stew.
Bring the stock to a boil over high heat in a small pot. Add the couscous to a large bowl. Pour the boiling stock over it, cover the bowl, and let sit for 8 minutes without stirring. Stir in the remaining ingredients and serve.
Chicken and Chive Dumplings with Asparagus
Preparation time: About 1 hour Slow cooker time: About 5 hours
Serves 6 to 8
For the chicken
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided, plus extra for salting the asparagus cooking water
1/4 teaspoon paprika
10 grinds black pepper, divided
3 pounds bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 6)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups finely chopped peeled carrots (about 2 large)
1 3/4 cups finely chopped red onions (about 1 large)
1 1/2 cups finely chopped cored fennel
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
2 teaspoons honey
1 bunch asparagus, bottom 3 inches cut off and the remainder cut into 1-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
For the dumplings
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole-grain corn flour (not coarse-ground cornmeal)
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 12 pieces
3/4 cup 2 percent or whole milk
1 tablespoon minced fresh chives or finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves, for garnish
In this recipe, the bones are left on the chicken. While you can remove them for a more refined presentation, doing so is slightly messy. I recommend serving the dish as is and just telling your guests the meat is on the bone.
For the biscuit-like dumplings, make sure the butter is cold. You can prepare the dough in advance; just keep it cold in the fridge before you add it to the slow cooker.
Stir in the asparagus and garnish the chicken with the tarragon right before serving.
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, the paprika, and 5 grinds of the black pepper. Add the chicken and dredge well, shaking off and reserving any excess flour. Heat the butter and oil in a 10-inch, heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and is bubbling, add half of the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total. Transfer to the slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining chicken, about another 6 minutes; transfer to the slow cooker.
2. Add the carrots, onions, fennel, and garlic to the hot pan and saute until softened, about 6 minutes. Whisk in the reserved seasoned flour, the tomato paste, and mustard, and cook until the flour disappears, no more than 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and add the wine; return to the heat and raise the heat to high. Whisk, simmering, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the stock, honey, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 5 grinds pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes. Pour over the chicken in the slow cooker to submerge. Cover the slow cooker and cook the chicken on low until cooked through, about 4 hours.
3. Meanwhile, fill a medium-size, heavy saucepan two-thirds full of heavily salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl with salted ice water and set it next to the stove. Once the water is boiling, add the asparagus and cook until it's bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Immediately use a slotted spoon or spider to transfer the asparagus to the ice water; swish for about 20 seconds, then pour into a colander set up in the sink. Set aside the drained asparagus in the fridge.
4. Make the dumplings by whisking together the first six dumpling ingredients in a medium-size bowl. Once mixed well, add the butter and use your fingers to crumble the mixture into pea-shaped pieces. Add the milk, and use your hands to form the mixture into a relatively smooth dough (but don't over-mix it). Form the dough into six evenly sized balls and flatten to roughly 1/2-inch-thick patties. If the chicken has already cooked for 4 hours, uncover it and add the dumpling patties evenly over the top. Re-cover, raise the heat to high, and cook until the dough is cooked through, about 1 hour (otherwise, refrigerate the raw dough until ready to use).
5. Using a large spoon, carefully remove the hot dumplings and set aside. Stir the cooked asparagus and fresh chives into the stew and pour it into a large serving bowl. Arrange the dumplings on top, and serve family style.
Lemony Strawberry-Rhubarb Cobbler
Preparation time: About 45 minutes Slow cooker time: About 4 hours Oven time: 20 to 25 minutes (can occur during the slow-cooking process) Finishing time: About 20 minutes
Serves 6
For the filling
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
Zest of two lemons in strips, white pith removed (about 2 tablespoons)
8 black peppercorns
11 cups hulled and halved (or quartered if very large) strawberries (about 4 pounds)
3 cups 1/2-inch-wide pieces rhubarb, halved if really thick (6 to 7 stalks, trimmed and leaves removed)
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed, strained lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed, strained orange juice
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup tapioca starch
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
For the drop biscuit topping
2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, divided
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chilled heavy cream, divided
Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
With this juicy, flavorful dessert (slightly spicy from the peppercorns), you get the best of all worlds: the fruit cooks slowly and develops complex flavors in the slow cooker, the lemony drop biscuits turn golden in the oven and the juices reduce on the stovetop into a thick sauce that blankets the fruit. I loved this recipe so much that I "tested" it six times! As for my children, they coined it "rhubarb dessert" and now crave rhubarb as a result. This cobbler is especially good with vanilla ice cream.
For ease, zest the lemons before squeezing them for the juice. You can make the biscuits in advance, though the dessert is most delicious when the biscuits are served warm from the oven. Purchase the reddest rhubarb you can to yield a dessert with the most vivid color. Make sure to use the amount of fruit called for; it might seem like a large quantity, but the strawberries and rhubarb cook down a lot. If you'd like to serve the dessert family style, pour it into a 9 x 12 inch baking dish.
Prep the slow cooker and make the filling
Soften 1 tablespoon of butter, and use it to grease the entire inside of the slow cooker crock. Place the lemon peel and peppercorns in a cheesecloth bag and tie with kitchen string. Add this bag plus the remaining butter (cut into eight pieces) and other filling ingredients to the slow cooker, and gently mix with a wooden spoon. Cover and cook on low until the fruit is softened, about 4 hours (there will still be some liquid).
Make the drop biscuit topping
About 45 minutes before the fruit is finished, heat the oven to 400° F, and line a baking or cookie sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together the dry drop biscuit ingredients (with the exception of 1 teaspoon of the sugar) and the lemon zest in a medium-size bowl. Gently stir in 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon of the heavy cream. Use your hands to form a soft, relatively smooth dough, taking care not to overmix. Divide the dough into six balls and place on the lined baking sheet. Flatten each one to the thickness of about 1/2 inch. Then pour the remaining tablespoon of cream into a small bowl and put the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar into another small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush each biscuit with the cream, then sprinkle with the sugar. Bake until slightly golden and cooked through (when tested with a fork, it should come out clean), 20 to 25 minutes. Set the biscuits aside.
Reduce the sauce
Once the fruit is cooked through, carefully remove the sachet. Place a large strainer over a medium to large, heavy saucepan, then, using oven mitts, pour the fruit mixture into the strainer. Set the fruit (in the strainer) aside. Boil the liquid over high heat until reduced to 3 to 3 1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Add the fruit to the pot with the thickened liquid, and mix.
Serve the cobbler
Use a ladle to divide the fruit mixture among six bowls; top each portion with a biscuit and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Spotlight on rhubarb
Rhubarb resembles red celery and, in its raw state, is very tart. A member of the buckwheat family, it needs to be washed and then cooked with sweetener to make it palatable. Look for bright, crisp stalks and fresh-looking leaves, but always remove the latter, since they can be toxic. Store rhubarb for up to 3 days in the fridge.

SAGINAW, MI — Saginaw city and county officials are waging a war on blight in the city's neighborhoods.
In less than two years, leaders hope to have demolished 950 of the most run-down homes in Saginaw, nearly 5 percent of the city's total housing stock of about 20,000 dwellings.
Covering the tab is $11.2 million in federal money. Leaders say the demolitions finally will allow the city to begin stemming the blight epidemic Saginaw has been chasing for decades, said Saginaw Chief Inspector John Stemple.
"For so long we would tear down houses, and they would be replaced by other ones," Stemple said. "For a long time, they were being replaced at a higher rate than we were doing them."
He said the pace of blight appears to be slowing, and now the city has a chance to take a big bite out of the problem. The 950 number represents more than half of the estimated 1,600 to 1,700 blighted houses in the city, Stemple said.
Demolition crews hired through this grant have knocked down about 45 properties so far, he said. The aim is to demolish all 413 county-owned properties targeted in the project by mid-year 2014.
"Once this weather breaks, it's game on," Stemple said.
The next step will be continuing the process of purchasing another 500-some vacant and blighted private properties to demolish. The hope is to finish all 950 demolitions in the spring of 2015.
Use our searchable database to explore information on the county-owned properties already slated for demolition. Search by street, house number or compass point to see which houses are targeted for tear-down.

Due to increasing time demands, this is my final contribution to our blog here – and I'd like to summarize some points I've tried to make in this space before. ETF in this case, refers to Eat That Frog!, a wonderful little book with a big idea by Brian Tracy. The big idea is a simple, yet powerful one. Do the one thing first each day that you'd really like to put off doing the most. In good financial planning, we know we should pay ourselves first in a high amount (savings) but we keep putting if off because of other pressing obligations. Go eat that frog first thing today.
Do you know your personal rate of return? I'm not talking about what your mutual fund returned or your stocks or your bonds; I'm talking about calculating what you, individually have earned in the time you've owned each investment. This is different from an investment's rate of return and the only rate that matters. Let me explain the difference.
During the 20 years ending 12/31/2008, the S&P 500 Index averaged 8.35% a year. The average equity fund investor earned 1.87% in the same period due to behavior of buying high and selling low.
But it's getting better! At the end of 2009, the average 20-year equity fund investor earned 3.17% per year.1
What it really takes to retire – a LOT of money. More than most people think. For example, I am seeing clients that will go from $16k/month in income while working to $4.6k/month in retirement income due to a lack of savings.
How much should I accumulate? Rule of thumb on savings (share this with as many young people as you can) – 17% of gross for future lifestyle and another 2% of gross for future healthcare expenses. This is the ideal from your first paying job. If you've been saving less, then you need to save more now.
How much can I spend from what I accumulate? Another rule of thumb – expect to withdraw 5% of whatever balance you've accumulated to make up your 'paycheck' in retirement. Add any pensions and social security to that (and any other known income) and you've got what you can expect to 'earn' in retirement.
Remember the 3 D's of most good things for you and in life: Decision, Discipline, and Determination. Maxing out those three traits when you go after a goal (like saving) will be the key to getting it done. I'm going to go tackle some frogs – happy eating!

Smyth, R-Santa Clarita, was appointed by Assembly Speaker John A. Pérez, D-Los Angeles, on Thursday and will be the first Republican to lead the committee since 1996.
"The speaker provided more balance to our committees and I think that will help develop better policy and better legislation," Smyth said.
Smyth, who served on the Santa Clarita City Council from 2000 to 2006, said his experience on the council has shaped his belief that cities should have control over their finances without the state redirecting how city revenue is spent.
"From a budgetary standpoint, every year on the (City Council) we had to wait and see if the state would tap local revenue this coming budget year," Smyth said. "Local government funding will be on the table again and I'm going to try and use my local influence to keep local governments whole."
And the state took about $4 million from Santa Clarita in 2009-2010, said city spokeswoman Gail Ortiz.
"At these critical times it was important for me to have a chair in that committee who cares deeply about looking out for local government," Perez said.
Perez, who also appointed Paul Cook, R-Yucca Valley, to chair the Assembly Committee on Veterans Affairs, said appointing Republicans to lead these committees will provide greater balance in the state legislature by providing more representation for conservative points of view.
"I'll be looking at legislation very closely that impacts locals financially from a policy standpoint," Smyth said. "I'm a big believer in local control and the city of Santa Clarita is great example of what can be done at the local level."

Historical Version(s) - view previous versions of standard
This specification covers the classification of sulfone plastics suitable for injection molding and extrusion. It is intended to be a means of calling out sulfone plastics used in the fabrication of end items or parts. Sulfone polymers, being thermoplastic, are reprocessable and recyclable. All of the sulfone polymers which are under this specification contain ether oxygen which is a necessary component of the polymers as in the diphenyl sulfone moiety. Examples of moieties which can be part of the backbone of the repeating unit, in addition to diphenyl sulfone, are diphenyl isopropylidene, and biphenyl. Blends of these polymers can exist as well as co- and ter-polymers. Commercial polymers that are members of this class of thermoplastics include polysulfone (PSU), polyether sulfone (PESU), and polyphenylsulfone (PPSU). Unreinforced sulfone plastics are classified into groups in accordance with their composition. The classes and grades in which these groups are subdivided are shown in this specification. The plastic shall be tested for deflection temperature, Izod impact, and solution viscosity.
This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application.

It was a coming-together of nations and artistic traditions Saturday night, as Israeli-born American actor Natalie Portman, 31, tied that theoretically most holy, inviolate, and irrevocable (but in actual fact all too often violated and eminently revocable) knot with French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied, 35, in an ostensibly fairy tale ceremony in that most fairy tale-worthy of California locales, Big Sur.
Described as "hush-hush" (New York Daily News), the Jewish ceremony was held at sundown at a private home. Boldface guests were in attendance, though only Ivanka Trump (a fairy tale in her own right) has been identified by name (People mag).

Republicans, Democrats Put Aside Bickering For Valentine's Day Nosh
It's another miracle under the belt for St. Valentine.
WASHINGTON — St. Valentine may have two new cherubs in his saintly service after a bipartisan Valentine's Day dinner on Capitol Hill, organized by Reps. Peter Roskam and Peter Welch.
But instead of cute, tiny bows and arrows, these two political matchmakers normally wield whips: Roskam is the Chief Deputy Whip for the Republicans, while Welch fills that role in the Democratic Conference.
And while the Peters spend most of their days using the lash to keep their members in line, at least on Thursday night they were using their powers of persuasion to try and build a little comity in the House.
A source familiar with the dinner said the duo held a similar dinner during the last Congress, and wanted to bring "a small group of Members together to have a meal and get to know the other side of the aisle a little better."
Welch, who hails from Vermont, brought the desert: Ben & Jerry's, of course.
- Former Israeli President Shimon Peres has died at 93. He was the country's longest-serving politician and statesman.
- Monday night's first presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton was a horse show for undecided voters.
- Serena Williams posted a powerful note on her Facebook page Tuesday, saying she won't be silent about police killings of black men.

Oatley had just read a rather gruesome tale about an unborn lamb whose head was too large for normal delivery. In the story, the farmer was prepared for the worst, but Herriott somehow turned the youngster around, saving both mother and baby.
Suddenly, Oatley received an emergency call from a local sheep farmer. Hurrying to the farm, he found a ewe in labor. She was unable to deliver because the lamb's head was too large.
Following Herriott's example, Oatley worked desperately to turn the lamb around. He finally succeeded, much to the amazement of the farmer and his family.
Today, 36 years later, Oatley still recalls that night, and the strange parallel with Herriott's book.
"The farm call I made that night was identical to the story in every way," he said.
Oatley's long career has generated hundreds of interesting stories, enough to fill several books of his own.
Unlike Herriott, however, he has been too busy to moonlight as a famous author. In fact, he said, he never even thought to take pictures.
"The first pictures of me as a vet were taken by my wife last week," he said. "She realized, after 37 years, there were no photos."
From now on, Oatley will have much more time for hobbies and other interests. As of Christmas Eve, Oatley is retiring from his practice at Southkent Veterinary Clinic in Byron Center.
His career began with a strong interest in science. At first, he planned to pursue a degree in physics, but found it somewhat boring.
"I decided I needed a career that I could be excited about," he said.
Although he had little experience with agriculture, he decided to enroll in the veterinary school at Michigan State University. Soon, he was hooked. Here was a way to use his talents to help both people and animals.
After graduating in 1974, he practiced in Vermont for a year, and then returned to Michigan to work at Southkent Veterinary Hospital in Caledonia.
At that time, only about a quarter of clinic's patients were household pets, also called "companion animals." The majority were cows, sheep, horses, and pigs.
In 1984, Southkent opened a second office in Byron Center. Oatley moved to that office in 1987, taking care of companion animals in the afternoon after making morning farm calls.
"The early mixed practice years required 70 to 90 hour work weeks," he recalled. The grueling schedule kept the veterinarians at Southkent away from their families far too many hours, he said.
While farmers have always had an economic stake in the health of their animals, pet owners sometimes surprised him by their level of devotion.
One day, two young children brought in a stray kitten they had found, which was near death.
"They brought all the money they had to pay for the care of the animal," Oatley recalled.
"The kitten was able to recover, and we were able to find a home for it, only because of their sacrifice and great nursing care."
In 1995, Oatley began practicing companion animal medicine full-time. Among his patients was Buddy, a beloved cat owned by Byron Center resident Louise Evans.
When Buddy developed chronic kidney failure, Oatley clearly explained the situation, without any "sugar coating." Evans and her family opted for treatment.
"We were trained to care for Buddy with daily hydration injections, and we brought him in monthly to monitor his health," Evans said.
Although Oatley couldn't cure Buddy's condition, Evans said his professionalism and genuine concern brought much comfort to them.
"He was the Byron Center version of Dr. Dolittle," she said.
Upon learning of his retirement, Evans said, "We will miss him greatly, as his extensive knowledge … comes from the passion to work with animals."
Now that he is retiring, Oatley said he and his wife, Sharon, will have more time to visit with family, including their grandchildren who live in Germany.
"I consider myself very blessed to remain in the same community and same practice, while moving through a variety of interesting work situations," Oatley said.
"The staff in Byron Center have worked with complete devotion to excellent veterinary medicine and individual animal comfort. They are the caring individuals that have made the practice what it has become."
Dr. Rebecca Skinner will be coming from the Caledonia office to take over Dr Oatley's duties, and will practice along with the other veterinarians: Dr. Anna Gall, Dr. Lori Dehlinger, and Dr. Jeanne Klynsma.
