We here in the United States have a hard enough time dealing with the antics of the Batman and Robin duo that is DMG and the AMA, but our Canadian brothers to the north have their own issues to deal with as well. In a surprising announcement, Canadian Superbike Championship has announced that it has banned the the entire 2010 Yamaha line from racing in its various series, while any year Yamaha YZF-R1 has been banned from the Canadian Pro Superbike class. More after the jump.
Yamaha is recalling 180 YZF-R1, FZS600, and FJR1300 motorcycles from 2005 for a faulty throttle position sensor. Not all 2005 owners need to fret though, as the affected bikes were manufactured only between October 2004, and April 2005.
Available starting January 2010, Yamaha is releasing another Limited Edition R1, this time featuring the race livery of Valentino Rossi's MotoGP race bike. Before you run out to your local Yamaha dealer though, you should know a couple things:
First, the Rossi Race Rep comes with a price tag that's over $1,200 more than the rest of the 2010 Yamaha YZF-R1 model line (raven, blue/whie, and pearl white), and for that extra cash all you're getting is the re-painted fairing, and a fuel tank with a replica of Valentino's signature on it.
Secondly, you might be surprised to learn that on top of that price premium, the 2010 R1 costs $800 more than the 2009 R1, despite the fact the R1 goes virtually unchanged for the 2010 model year.
For those not good with numbers, those combined prices put the 2010 Yamaha R1 LE costing over $2,000 more than this year's current YZF-R1, and all it has to show for it is a paint job that sells another company's product.
Say what you will about Ducati's Nicky Hayden LE 848 Superbike, at least they knew what paint costs, and had Nicky personally hand-sign each bike.
With the pressure to buy a KTM RC8 up'd by KTM's new deadline, it got us thinking what else we'll need to ask Santa to get us for Christmas, a brand new 2009 Yamaha R1 wouldn't be half bad, especially after watching this new video the tuning-fork brand released. Continue reading to watch the video, and see great wallpaper fodder of the R1

Yes, but what keeps getting glossed over is that raiding in cata will NOT be jsut one dungeon a patch, but several dungeons. We look at the one lockout and think, well, if we get get locked out of ICC, then there's just TGC or Ulduar.
But that's not how it's going to be, There will be several raid dungeons with a handful of bosses. Getting locked to one still leaves a couple more raid zones open. And the gear will be identical anyway. So there's not more (weakerer) gear to be found in 10s anyway.
For 25s that currently use every availible outlet to gather gear, the simple fact is the game will change. You're too set in your current ways, and we don't have enough information, to view these changes with the proper perspective. Wait and see and then look back and laugh at how nervous you were to make posts like this.

Senior LB Ryan D'Imperio is interviewed by local media at BIG EAST Media Day.
Schiano and the players met with both the electronic and print media for nearly three hours as the league officially begins the 2009 football season.
The Scarlet Knights report to camp August 10 and hit the practice fields for the first time on August 11.
Rutgers was picked to finish fifth in the BIG EAST's annual preseason media poll. If the results of the conference's annual preseason media poll are any indication, no one can really be sure what to expect with regard to the 2009 BIG EAST title. In a poll that saw four different teams earn multiple first-place votes and the top five teams separated by just 35 points, the Scarlet Knights were slated in the No. 5 spot.
Rutgers was chosen fifth in the poll with 126 points, just four points behind USF. Schiano's Scarlet Knights will have to replace impact players at quarterback and wide receiver, but All-BIG EAST tackle Anthony Davis (Piscataway, N.J.) leads a veteran offensive line that should rank among the nation's best in 2009.
The Scarlet Knights closed out the 2008 season with seven consecutive victories, including a 29-23 win over NC State in the PapaJohns.com Bowl. The Scarlet Knights have appeared in four consecutive bowls and have won three straight bowl championships.
The seven-game win streak is tied for the fourth longest active streak in the nation.
Rutgers opens the 2009 season Monday, Sept. 7 vs. Cincinnati at Rutgers Stadium. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. on ESPN.
Rank Team Pts.
1. Pittsburgh (8) 161
2. West Virginia (5) 151
3. Cincinnati (8) 144
5. Rutgers 126
6. Connecticut 74
7. Louisville 51

For the fifth year, Nebraska Wesleyan has been recognized as one of the top producers of the prestigious Fulbright scholarship.
On October 18, The Chronicle of Higher Education issued its annual list of the country's top Fulbright producing schools. Nebraska Wesleyan University was listed among the top 30 bachelor's degree institutions — the only Nebraska college or university listed in this category.
The Fulbright is considered one of the world's most prestigious and competitive awards for international education. Approximately 7,500 faculty and students are selected for the honor from among thousands of applicants.
Four Nebraska Wesleyan University students won Fulbright scholarships during the 2008-2009 academic year including Andrea Duntz and Lacey Johnson who are both studying in Germany, Alicia Dallman who is studying in Spain and Maggie Mitteis who is studying in Poland.
Twenty-six Nebraska Wesleyan University students have been awarded Fulbright scholarships in the last decade.

How to let go of your old/past self
After doing a great deal of digging over the past five years or so, I've found countless books and articles on advice you'd give yourself in your childhood, teens years, 20's, etc. I've also found articles on how to plan for your future and how to visualize what you want as well as a sort of "plan of attack" in doing so. But there seem to be little to no resources out there for how to just be in your own skin, presently. I honestly don't have advice for my younger self. I had some good and bad times. And with my ego as a child/teen, I wouldn't have listened anyhow ;) I have some great plans for the future... but my problem has always been in comparing my current self/partner/job/physique/lifestyle to the one I had (nostalgic "had", not actual). I'm always trying to get back to who I am. But that "am" doesn't fit who I honestly AM now. I'd love to hear how others get in touch with reinventing their current self and how to acknowledge, honor and then let go of the old self without it feeling like some kind of a death.

Kat VonTeslaAug 16 2013: To a degree... I don't feel paranoid per say and I've yet to master thinking before I speak. It's more the feeling of needing to keep up a certain image/persona around everyone. I've been this social shapeshifter for so long that I've never had the chance to really dig in and be all of myself at once. In a lot of intimate relationships, I tend to hold back and feel more like a diluted version of who I'm supposed to be if that makes sense. After being "this" for so long, I've found that there are instances where I'm just to exhausted to keep it up and I'm at least more of myself than usual and I end up feeling like I've upset things. That tends to foster very well intentioned but annoying comments that start of "you know what's wrong with you is..." and then I fall back into character. After speaking with a few other people who spend a large amount of time performing, I've found that I have a few comrades in this awkward stage of introducing myself TO myself finally. Sounds a bit odd, I'm sure. Realizing all this was the major reason I decided to step back and stop performing so it wasn't quite so easy to fall back into the addiction to external validation and to try and figure out what a lot of others figured out years ago ;) Upon doing so, I found that there weren't to many (if any) books/discussions dealing with this from the standpoint of a performing artist and I thought hey.... I bet TED would be a great place to start. So far, I'm really glad I put this out there. You've all had some great insight and some really good points!

I'm not a fan of the water bill. It is split amongst all it's residents, so even if you were gone for three w Read Moreeeks out of the month, you'd owe full price ($60-70). I did love living here though. You can bike to the beach, walk to Trader Joes, ample parking... Great spot to make your own.

The maintenance of the apartments is poor...not the service, but the quality of what is given- for example poo Read Morer quality garbage disposal keeps breaking as well as a joke of a dishwasher that hardly cleans. For the amount of money I pay I would expect a better set up.

Technically, Deb Gullett represents north central Phoenix in the Arizona Legislature. But in her relatively brief time in office, she did a lot of good for the whole state, demonstrating again and again that she's not afraid to stand up to special interests and fight for what's right. This year, she made sure a law was passed that protects victims of car accidents from hospitals that want to double-dip in the victims' insurance settlements. Gullett is smart and she doesn't hedge. Even though she technically survived a challenge to her campaign petitions earlier this year, she decided to opt out of what promised to be an ugly race -- probably the smartest thing she could have done.
But we hope we haven't seen the last of her.

2014 LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON FEATURED SPEAKER: Dr Mark Whitacre
LEADERSHIP LUNCHEON at CINCINNATI CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY
Wednesday, February 26, 2014, 11:30 a.m.
Featuring Guest Speaker Dr. Mark WhitacreMark Whitacre is an Ivy League Ph.D. and the highest-ranking executive of any Fortune 500 company to become a whistleblower in U.S. history, and is responsible for uncovering the ADM price-fixing scandal in the early 1990s.Whitacre is Chief Operating Officer (COO) and President of Operations at Cypress Systems, Inc. His undercover work with the FBI during the ADM scandal was the inspiration for the major motion picture, "The Informant," starring Matt Damon as Mark Whitacre. Drawing from his unique history, Mark provides one-of-a-kind insight into corporate ethics, corporate greed, and the warning signs of a flawed corporate leadership.After completing B.S. and M.S. degrees at Ohio State University, Mark earned his Ph.D. at Cornell University in Nutritional Biochemistry, then worked for multiple Fortune 500 companies including Ralston Purina, Degussa (Evonik), and Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). Mark was hired at ADM when he was 32, and as the president of the BioProducts Division from its launch, was the youngest Divisional President in the history of the company. At age 35, he became a Corporate Vice President of ADM and was the leading candidate to become the next company president.
Dr. Whitacre has extensive international business experience, having lived for almost four years in West Germany, working for an international company. He also has been involved with two international companies in the Southeast Asia market and has traveled the region dozens of times. Mark's more than two decades of top management experience at Fortune 500 and international companies, as well as his experience with the ADM price-fixing scandal and the FBI, give him a unique, seasoned perspective on leadership in the corporate world.
Mr. Douglas Burris, Chief of U.S. Federal Probation in the Eastern District of Missouri has stated, "The story about Mark Whitacre's redemption and second chance is one of the most inspirational stories of our time."

Right because Engineers should get all their trinkets and other gimmicks AND have the same PVE advantage. /massive eye roll
Tailoring, blacksmithing, leatherworking etc are primarily about crafting gear for endgame, and have got a couple of unique PVE buffs. Engineering was never about that, and still isn't about that, it was and is still more PVP focused. And no you don't NEED any profession for endgame. I seriously doubt you are in a hardcore enough guild that they won't take you to raids unless your character is completely optimised. No one in TBC was forced to take a crafting profession to maximise PVE, they just gave you a quick leg up (except maybe spriests because the only stat they cared about in TBC was +damage, and FSW was best in slot until mid T6) all that gear got replaced in T5-6. I don't recall casters not being allowed to raid because they hadn't levelled enchanting for the ring enchants.
Professions are meant to be like classes, they don't all do the same thing. It isn't just some fluff with an identical PVE buff.
Just admit it. You didn't level engineering for what engineering was about, you just did it for the goggles back in TBC.

EmoTrance is the newest energy modality in the world, created by REAL people for REAL people. Find out about the many benefits and advantages EmoTrance has to offer to MODERN people - in the REAL WORLD as it is today!
EmoTrance was developed primarily by Dr Silvia Hartmann and her research team between 1993 and 2002.
Unlike older energy modalities, EmoTrance was developed by DIRECT OBSERVATION of cause and effect of how energy actually really works with MODERN PEOPLE IN THE REAL WORLD.
This means that for the first time in the history of humanity, a practical system for energy healing and energy working was developed by a team led by women, and which did not exclude any human being, including women and children, in both theory as well as practice. EmoTrance has a strong theory as its backbone, which is also something that is often missing from older approaches. This theory is explained in simple terms in The EmoTrance Primer, which can be found in the EmoTrance yearbook and on the main EmoTrance website. From this theory upward, SIMPLE, PRACTICAL approaches to working with energy directly as it is being experienced through the physical body were developed and tested, and EmoTrance as we know it today was first presented at the Oxford Energy Psychology Conference in 2002.
- NO guesswork. The person is asked where they feel emotional pain (which according to EmoTrance theory is a disturbance in the energy body) in their body and to actually show with their hands where the pain is located. Now, both the client AND the practitioner KNOW FOR A FACT where the injury or disturbance is located, and both can get to work on healing this disturbance right away.
- NO special talents required. EVERY human being has an energy body, and this energy body has healing hands of energy. By simply focusing on the disturbance and beginning to work with the energy there DIRECTLY, you can FEEL THE CHANGES in the energy body happening in real time. This is UNPRECEDENTED energy work for everyone! - NO hierarchy. In EmoTrance treatments, the client and practitioner WORK TOGETHER to clear the energy disturbance and to re-establish The Even Flow, the natural state of the energy body with the disturbance repaired. The practitioner asks the client for feedback throughout the treatment and proceeds accordingly, always working with WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING at the time. This is called "The Client Practitioner Dance". - No need for talking ABOUT the problem. The problem is an energy disturbance that should be resolved as quickly as possible and by focusing on the problem itself, rather than talking ABOUT it, healing is swift, elegant and very profound. - No need for studying charts and points about the energy system. During the EmoTrance treatment, where the energy needs to flow and what needs to be done becomes revealed AUTOMATICALLY as each individual client has their own individual experiences. This is a NATURAL process as the energy body always strives to heal itself and the practitioner and the client SUPPORT THE NATURAL HEALING PROCESS throughout. - EmoTrance is not JUST for energy healing. It is also about learning to take in more energy from the environment - nature, other people, art, animals, EVERYTHING has energy to give! - and by doing this, becoming far more energized. When this happens, a person starts to feel good, alive, and their thinking becomes clearer and more expansive. EmoTrance does not just alleviate bad feelings, it goes the other way to create GOOD FEELINGS which is a natural side effect when energy flows freely through the systems of a person. - EmoTrance, once learned, is a LIFE SKILL. Being able to work with one's own energy system IN THE MOMENT, in real life, in direct response to the environment and the situations one finds oneself in, allows someone who knows about EmoTrance to protect themselves MUCH better, to handle emotions in a whole different way, and to extract joy and energy from the environment much more profoundly. This leads to a HEALTHIER energy system and a much HAPPIER human being - in any circumstance of modern life. EmoTrance is extremely NATURAL and EASY TO LEARN because it works WITH the natural energy system and uses people's NATURALLY INBORN abilities to work with energy. A two day live practitioner training or the offical EmoTrance correspondence course will give a person all they need to get started with EmoTrance for self help, and to help others. EmoTrance is IMMENSELY userfriendly, completely NATURAL, and BEAUTIFULLY designed for today's modern human beings, including women and children. It does not conflict with any religion or faith because it simply seeks to restore the proper conditions in the energy system - "to put to rights what once went wrong" and is very logical both in theory as well as in practice.
EmoTrance Trainers From Around The World - All REAL Modern Human Beings!
With hundreds of delighted practitioners around the world already, many of whom have successfully combined EmoTrance with other healing modalities, such as psychology, kinesiology, massage therapy, nursing, Reiki and many more, and the literally ENDLESS practical applications, EmoTrance is THE acclaimed NEW energy technique for modern human beings living in the REAL WORLD today.
ALL emotional disturbances and pain, including anger, bereavement, shame, grief, sadness, depression, stress, anxiety, fear, guilt etc;
Performance enhancements across the board to take out blockages to success including reversals, procrastination, loss of performance power, and much more;
Self healing and self treatment, including for low self esteem, low energy states, low expectations and aspirations, dislike of the self, self sabotage;
Cognitive changes - "changing your mind" - by taking out the original energetic reasons for the feelings that create beliefs and attitudes, clearing up thinking, expanding thinking, improving thinking skills and the ability to make good decisions from a state of clarity and being able to "see the bigger picture".
Healing the WHOLE person - clearing up the energetic disturbances that happen during accidents, illness and operations to make sure the energy body functions as it was designed to function, speeding up recovery times and preventing long term psychosomatic pain and illnesses from arising.
Have less pain and stress in your life, and more energy, fun, and joy - Learn EmoTrance! EmoTrance is a GIFT for every day - it really WILL change YOUR life for the better.
No special talents necessary - EmoTrance is EASY to learn and entirely NATURAL.
ALL human beings welcome - EmoTrance works for everyone!
Born in Germany in 1959, Silvia Hartmann has lived and worked in the United Kingdom since 1978. Hartmann is the developer and primary designer of Energy EFT, Energy Hypnosis, Project Sanctuary, The Genius Symbols, The Harmony Program, EmoTrance, and Events Psychology, as well as author, researcher, and international lecturer.
In 1998, Hartmann co-founded The Association for Meridian & Energy Therapies (The AMT) thus forming the worlds first certifying body behind the then new EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques. Also in 1998, Hartmann wrote the first book on EFT called "Adventures in EFT: The Essential Guide to Emotional Freedom Techniques".
To this day, Hartmann continues to lead the AMT as chairperson and continues to evolve the field with her leadership. In 2011, Hartmann launched the EFT Master Practitioner Qualification which has been heralded as "next generation Emotional Freedom Techniques" following Gary Craig's retirement in 2010.
In April 2014, Hartmann revealed the brand-new three-day EmoTrance course Energy-in-Motion Master Practitioner Qualification which is based on 12 years of original research since the original advanced energy technique was developed in 2002.
As a modern energy researcher, her work has so far produced a workable definition of emotions, a new system to explain human behaviour, and the decoding of the language of metaphor. Hartmann continues to push forward the boundaries of human excellence research and is best known for her inspiring books and articles, such as Adventures in EFT, Advanced Patterns of EFT, EmoTrance, Energy EFT and most recently Positive EFT.
Silvia Hartmann is also an artist and fiction author who rose to world-wide prominence in 2012 as the "Naked Writer" for cloud-sourcing her novel "The Dragon Lords" live in front of an audience of 13,000 readers. Described by the New Yorker as being the "best tech-lit stunt in recent memory," the Chicago Tribune also suggested that it heralded a "New chapter for the publishing industry."

I thought that with the peace negotiations with Jaina, Thrall wanted to work out some kind of trade agreement with the alliance since they needed lumber.
Meh, either way, Garrosh will take it into his hands to assault any Alliance settlement he can since alliance are "scum". I'm horde myself and I think Garrosh is a toolbox to the Nth degree lol.
I might just stay on my Worgen when Cataclysm comes out.

The current economic crisis has resulted in the partnership of a number of unlikely car manufacturers. First there was Fiat and Chrysler . Then it was Saab and Koenigsegg
And now we have Toyota and Aston Martin.
While Toyota and Aston Martin's alliance is not on the level of the other two, the Japanese auto giant is in the process of producing its iQ model for its more upscale colleague in the United Kingdom.
The partnership of the two manufacturers comes at a time when both are in desperate need for bold and revolutionary moves that can jumpstart a floundering industry that's in dire need of some fresh blood.
As part of the agreement, Toyota will supply iQ cars, which, as a matter of fact, are built in Japan, to Aston Martin, which, in turn, will sell these vehicles under the brand under a pseudonym: the Cygnet.
Continued after the jump.
Aston Martin's foray into the compact car sector seems unlikely given its long history of producing sports and luxury cars, but with the global market's growing preference for smaller, lower-emission cars that comply with emission regulations around the world, the timing of this partnership couldn't have come at a better time for the UK automakers.
In a statement made by Aston Martin Chief Executive Ulrich Bez, he said: "Now is the right time for Aston Martin to take this first bold step to embark on this special project — made possible with the support of an organization of Toyota's stature and capability and the intelligent design and perfect city car package of the iQ,"
As for Toyota, the partnership marks yet another ground-breaking move by new Toyota president Akio Toyoda. Barely a month after his ascension to the top-ranking position in the company, Toyoda – who's also the first member of the founding family to become president in 14 years – has made it clear that he's the type of president that will pursue all avenues worth exploring, as opposed to merely sitting behind a desk and let everyone else run the company.
As a result of this partnership, Toyota is hoping that the iQ/Cygnet goes over well with the British people so it could accelerate the production of the car as well as improve the company's overall production efficiency.
As far as brand associations are concerned, Toyota is also hoping that by partnering with a prestigious brand like Aston Martin, it, in turn, can lift up their stock and break into the more elusive upper class.
Whether or not this happens, the partnership between Toyota and Aston Martin is still as unlikely as it comes. And as improbable as it may seem at first, it just might and up becoming a match made in automotive heaven.

Fundamentalists Clashing over the Book: A Study of Order-Driven Stock Markets
AbstractAgent-based models of market dynamics must strike a compromise between the structural assumptions that represent the trading mechanism and the behavioral assumptions that describe the rules by which traders take their decisions. We present a structurally detailed model of an order- driven stock market and show that a minimal set of behavioral assumptions suffices to generate a leptokurtic distribution of short- term log-returns. This result backs up the conjecture that the emergence of some statistical properties of financial time series is due to the microstructure of stock markets.

Last week, Denmark hosted the first stage of Giro d'Italia, and the towns were painted pink, literally.
|Photos taken by my friends: Amanda and Shrabony
Over in my neck of the woods, the Gågade (walking street/shopping street) was filled with people. On the Church Square, there was an International Market, a free brunch, and a performance by Jasonitterne, Odin Theatre's Italian "friendship" troupe. They also had shopping, kayaking, spinning, and rappelling.
|Photos taken by me
The Giro d'Italia riders arrived around 4:30 on Sunday afternoon, but I was far too short to see them! Thankfully, I have a very tall husband, and he loved me enough to get some video of the riders passing through.
Followed by the second, larger group about 2-3 minutes later.
The race was a nice end to a rather long, busy, weekend.

Phoebe Putney Hospital can now transport more patients who need critical care as they are being moved.
Phoebe showed off two new critical care transport units, one neonatal truck and one adult truck.
Effective Monday, there will be five trucks on the road serving southwest Georgia.
The units received 1,200 calls last year, double the number from just five years ago.
"What we actually have is mobile intensive care units, we can pretty much do for you in these trucks what we can do for you upstairs in the ICU. We have capability of having a registered nurse and registered respiratory therapist on the trucks, along with the three paramedics that go on each call," says Virgil Anderson, Critical Care Transport Supervisor.
Money raised through the Children's Miracle Network paid for the new Neonatal ambulance.
Phoebe Putney bought the other one.
Fully outfitted, each vehicle costs around a quarter of a million dollars.

Some news from SimpleGeo as the company announces that on Tuesday March 29 the anticipated public launch of SimpleGeo Storage will finally roll out.
Some details... recall, SimpleGeo Storage is a geographically aware spatial database in the cloud - a general purpose spatial database that is suitable for a large (and growing) number of applications being created by developers.
In response to the huge demand (in particular from gaming) from developers for real-time location-aware data the company has been developing this solution for the past 8 months - their own distributed spatial database technology based on the latest research in multidimensional data structures and distributed database theory. This from Joe Stump, SimpleGeo CTO and Co-Founder, "Unlike other spatial databases, you don�t have to be a GIS expert to use SimpleGeo Storage. You can quickly, securely, and easily access SimpleGeo Storage from a very simple HTTP API from any mobile device, server, or website in your stack."
So, what makes SimpleGeo Storage awesome? Stump shares the following:

Spare Change: First 5k Edition
Published on - March 15th, 2011 (by J.D. Roth)
It's been a while since I posted a fitness update around here. I've been a little scared to — some of you hate them! More than that, though, I've had a nagging injury. I've still been able to do my Crossfit exercises, but a bad Achilles tendon has prevented me from running since early January.
Well, my foot has been feeling better lately, so last weekend I joined 30,000 other Portlanders in the Shamrock Run. Some folks ran 8k or 15k (5 miles or 9.3 miles). I did my first-ever official 5k run (3.1 miles). The result? Not too bad. I finished in 24:07. That's 24th place (out of 437) for men aged 40-44. (And 305th place out of 6400+ overall.) I'm pleased with that, especially since it used to take me more than half an hour to run that distance. (I plan to run another 5k on April 3rd; my goal is to break 24 minutes.)
Meanwhile, I've joined my gym's team for the Crossfit Games, the annual competition to find the world's fittest person. Hint: That person is not me. I'm doing this for the experience, not because I think I'm buff. But maybe in a few years, I'll actually be fit enough to take this seriously.
Finally, after maintaining 175 pounds for the past few months, I've decided to drop a few more pounds. I'm almost to where I want to be, but still a little heavy for my body size.
Okay, enough of that. No more fitness updates for a while. (And I swore off travel updates this morning, too. Yikes.) I guess that means it's time to talk about personal finance, right? Here, then, are some recent stories from around the web:
Speaking of retirement, Jacob at Early Retirement Extreme recently wrote about why so few succeed at financial independence. Jacob says that going against the flow is the surest path to early retirement, but peer pressure makes it tough to do. He argues that you should spend much less than you earn, and that you should learn to do things yourself. But because people aren't willing to do these things, they're not able to retire early. (My summary really doesn't do the article justice. It's a great read, and I highly recommend it.)
Jacob's article is actually a response to a l-o-n-g but excellent piece at Financial Mentor that describes how anyone can retire in 10 years (or less). The key? Extreme frugality and basic investing. "The critical factor to success is the percentage saved from earnings," the author writes. The more you're willing to save, the more control you have over your future, and the sooner you can retire. This article is excellent, too. In fact, it may be worth a full post here at GRS in the future.
Another thoughtful essay comes from Jennifer at Personal Finance Advice, who writes, "Don't sell yourself short. Think bigger." She complains that when people think about making extra money, they think too small. They sell their time for pennies instead of dollars, and they don't try to do something meaningful.
Finally, here's a little love for long-time GRS reader Nicole, who recently wrote at her blog that there is no best: "There's no best job. There's no best way to raise kids. There's no best way to live your life. There's only your way. There's only your path. Some are better than others along different dimensions…but choices are so multidimensional and there are so many tradeoffs that it is impossible to optimize along them all."
Wow. Four deep, thoughtful articles and zero numbered lists. What on earth is happening to the internet?!?
This article is about Spare Change
OMG! Thanks so much for linking to us. I'm totally blushing.
And congrats on the run.
I say write away on the travel and fitness. It's all relevant! Please don't let a vocal few make you "pen shy" on the topics you really care about. For me, seeing an author's passion shine through helps convince me to consider his or her thoughts more carefully.
Wow, 8 minute miles after not running for a couple months? Not too shabby. I consider 8 minute miles pretty fast! I actually enjoy non-personal finance updates, but that's just me!
Long time reader, first time poster. Way to go on the race. Ever tried pose running?J.D.'s response: I've never tried pose running. Unfortunately, our gym did the Crossfit Endurance certification (which incorporates pose running, so I understand) while I was in Africa, so I missed it…
Who wants to retire after 10 years? I'm hoping to get a job that I don't want to retire from. Sure, I probably will want to reduce my hours, but in order to keep my mind sharp, I want to work!
Congrats on the 5K — 24 minutes is a great time!
I say talk about fitness more! It motivates me to work out more, just as reading about personal finance makes me want to try harder in my own finances, it'd be awesome to get motivation for both in one place!! You did GREAT in that run by the way, maybe you should up it to a 10k, and write about that too!!
Are you kidding me….24 mins for a 5k? I will be the first to admit that I am not a natural runner. I run like a duck (with my toes pointed out) and it is for sure not my "natural" sport (swimming is). However, I have run a number of 5k's and the best I have ever done is 33 mins. I am POKEY! You, however, are fairly speedy.
I just committed to run a half marathon in Feb. of 2012. It will take me forever to finish but I am committed to finishing.
Don't sell yourself short…you did fantastic.
Thanks for mentioning my post on "how to retire in 10 years." You mentioned an interest in a full post sometime. Just let me know how I can help. I would be honored.
I've been following your blog for about a 3 months. Although I don't agree with everything you say, I agree with a lot of it. Just wanted to post a reply cuz I'm a CrossFiter too. I entered the games as well…good luck!
Congrats on your race! I just did my first 5k as well this weekend! I didn't run as fast as you, but I completed it and ran the whole way which was my goal.
And now I have a time to beat!
I really don't understand the appeal of retiring super early. A lot of people I know in their 60s who are successful *like* working and would be bored stiff if they had to retire and don't want to retire, even though they can.
The extreme sacrifice would bring me unhappiness, and apparently,retiring early would bring me unhappiness. So I don't really enjoy posts on the theme of "you're not willing to do what it takes to retire eaarly!" when it's not a goal of mine.
To enjoy my life, including the things I do to earn money, is a good goal. And right now, I love my job. My boss loves her job, and when she retired I get her job (CFO). However, she doesn't want to retire, she loves working. Her older husband retired once, then hated retirement and went back to work. My grandfather is 79 and still working full time. He loves it (owns his own real estate company).
So, perhaps 2 of the 4 articles extolling the virtues of early retirement is overkill. Just my opinion.
Adam – just to clarify, the post I authored doesn't extol the virtues of retiring early. It merely explains one specific strategy to achieve the goal.
I actually share your sentiments (more or less) and wrote an entire post on the subject called the "Early Retirement Mistake". I don't want to link to it here because that would self-promote.
Instead, I just wanted to clarify the purpose of the article J.D. mentioned – it explains a specific strategy to achieve the objective for the many people who share that goal. It does not extol the virtues of the goal.
That is a different subject entirely.
Hope that helps.
@Adam – It is worth keeping in mind that extreme early retirement and even early retirement should not be confused with "old man"-retirement. [Extreme] early retirement is mostly pursued by extremely driven individuals; people who have a big list of things they wish to do and want to accomplish.
Often the limiting factor for such individuals is not money but time. Having to spend most of one's effective waking time making widgets and filing forms for WhoCares, Inc. is thus an extreme sacrifice. Sacrifice is all relative to one's values.
It may be that they love their job. I used to love my job but after 4 years in grad school and 5 years as a researcher I just couldn't see myself doing it for the next 40 years as well. I wanted to do other things too. On the other hand some manage to love the same vocation all their life. Good for them.
The key to getting this time—for those who want it—is simply to ruthlessly apply the Pareto principle to one's budget. Often the huge money wasters are big houses and big cars. We've therefore been frugal, not by clipping coupons or skimping on toilet paper or whatever the frugal tip of the day is but by eliminating cars and downsizing our living quarters. The big stuff. For us, cars are not status symbols. They're just a tool to get around in. Houses are not signs of accomplishments. They're just a place to sleep when we're not out doing things.
So don't see it as retirement. See it as financial independence with enough "walk-away"-money so as to never have to sacrifice 2000 hours a year anymore just to make a living. This is full-time living having chosen something to do something else than show up in an office from 9-5 every day. This may involve running one's own company or enjoying a senior/emeritus position in some company or organization—the key point here is financial independence and the freedom of choice; not "retirement".
I also acknowledge that "retiring" in this sense makes one fully responsible for one's happiness and schedule. One will succeed or fail according to one's ability to be self-driven. This is certainly not for everybody and I don't want to present it as such. It is as hard as being an entrepreneur; when most probably just want a job. This is also one of the reasons why so few succeed as mentioned in the article.
I don't mind fitness posts….but speaking
of that, what ever happened to "Get FIT
Slowly"? There haven't been any posts there
in a long time…..OOPS! no sooner do I look
back in Reader to find when the last one was,
than I see Mac back at work.
Never mind.
Peer Pressure can definitely be a big factor in influencing how you manage your finances! Great Article!
I second Lizzie and the others who said that more fitness updates are welcome. I think the skills and mindset required for success in fitness are very similar to those required for success in personal finance, so fitness updates can be useful when thinking about finance, too.
And hasn't Crossfit taught you to stop worrying about your weight? I think if you focus on figuring out how to make your body perform the best it can, you'll end up at your "ideal" weight naturally.
Posted on the wrong article. Sorry!
Hi there!
Speaking of CrossFit. GRS was the reason why I tried it. When I read "It works" here, I was thinking to myself: "Just how good it supposed to work, that it justifies $200/mo expense from a guy, who do personal finances blog".
Sure enough – it really work _that_ good. Thanks for the tip.
Congrats on the run – I have always been a pretty active, in shape person – but never ever a runner. I ran my first 5k last fall and was at like 32 minutes or something, and I was happy – so be proud of your time!
I also want to echo the support for fitness and travel updates periodically (and garden project!)- it makes your blog personal and keeps us aware that there's a human behind the stories – which is what a blog is all about.
Great job on the 5k, JD. I'm shooting for my first in May which is quickly approaching.
Thanks for highlighting Jacob's article…as a long time ERE reader it's nice to see him get some recognition. You should really review his book sometime!
Congratulations on your 5K. Your time was no joke. As a fellow frugal Crossfiter I really do enjoy your fitness posts here. Good luck on the first open WOD.
I organized 5ks for a non-profit I used to work at, and I assure you that 24 minutes is more than a respectable time. That's actually really good! Plenty of in-shape folks I know can't run that fast. Kudos to you My goal is to someday break a 10 minute mile. I still sit somewhere in the 11-12 minute range. Mostly because I have continual trouble keeping the momentum in my run training.
I love these posts as well (you gotta be well rounded, you know!) and I joined a CrossFit gym five months ago and love it so was curious (and maybe I'd just missed this in another post) – are you still doing the Primal diet (did you add back in the grains & legumes that you had mentioned in the last post I'd read)? Our gym endorses Robb Wolf's Paleo Solution and I've been reading the book, and while I get it – I'm having a hard time imagining being totally grain free so was curious as to how that worked for you?
thanks for the update & great time on the 5k!
Well done, JD! I have yet to break 30 min, so I'm super impressed with your 24 min time.
I'm definitely in the camp that says "I don't want to retire. I want to find things I love that sustain me financially and do them forever."
I love the retire early articles not because I want to stop working, but because I know I will be forced out eventually. I'm in the technology industry which tends to lay off people above the age of 50 to hire fresh college grads.
First of all, congratulations on your run!
The Extreme Savings articles were fascinating, but I had one problem with them. All of the articles assume you make 50k+ per year. It is very possible to live on 12k per year – I managed it in my university days. But for the person who is in the first 5-10 years of their career – I don't see how it would be feasible to live on 6k-8k per year and keep a job that pays $27-33k per year. Even entry level jobs expect you to be well groomed.
@Lynn – I did it. I have spent 5-7k/year for the past decade while earning $20-22k as a grad student, 40-42k as an academic researcher, at 67k at a national lab for my last two years of work. Here's a link to some journals with others doing it. http://forum.earlyretirementextreme.com/forum.php?id=9 Have you learned to cut your own hair yet? (It's not hard). What's the efficiency of your wardrobe; does everything fit with everything else? Do you avoid fashion? Are your shoes repairable or do you have to buy new ones?
@EarlyRetirementExtreme – thanks for the response! I will head over to your forum.
I don't cut my own hair – but I donate it to Locks of Love which is a free professional cut.
Wardrobe & fashion – I do follow both (i work in the fashion industry) but I have a well edited wardrobe. Shopping is a hobby for me – but it is a very profitable one. I scour consignment shops, charity shops, rummage sales – I purchase high quality vintage, and then sell it for a significant profit.
I mend and tailor my own clothing, and repair handbags. I take my shoes to the cobbler.
If I didn't need a roof over my head, I could live on $400 per month during the winter for utilities, food, and the occasional used book.
But, a studio apartment near my work is still 900 a month. My mortgage is only a few hundred over that (and I can grow my food to cut that budget line item)

EPA - Environmental Protection Agency (Federal)
DEQ - Department of Environmental Quality (State)
These environmental agencies are primarily concerned with protecting the public by controlling the releases of asbestos into the environment. The federal EPA rules are enforced by DEQ on the state level. EPA retains some authority in public and private schools (K through 12) under a federal standard known as AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act - 1986). The State DEQ requires the following:
OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Federal)
OR-OSHA - Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (State)
Many of the recommended work practices and legal requirements for handling asbestos are
designed to protect the health and safety of workers. The actual asbestos rules are enforced by federal or state OSHA programs. Oregon has a number of specific rules in the following areas:
Asbestos is a generic term applied to naturally occurring fibrous hydrated mineral silicates. These minerals are regarded as hydrated because they are formed by their affinity for water. Asbestos is primarily mined in Canada and South Africa. The forms that are specifically covered by new regulations are: Amosite
Crocidolite Tremolite
Asbestos has been used widely in building materials and in products that needed to be fireproof. In fact EPA, in 1985 estimated that 31,000 schools and some 733,000 commercial buildings had asbestos products in them. Asbestos was and is used because the mineral is:
Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral. Asbestos minerals are divided into two groups: serpentines and amphiboles. Chrysotile is the most commonly used type of asbestos and the only mineral in the serpentine group. The chrysotile form of asbestos is found in 95% of materials which contain asbestos. Amosite is the second most common type of asbestos in the amphibole group: crocidolite, anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite.
The amphiboles are hydrophobic, they do not like water. In most cases, fiber counts will be significantly higher when a removal project involves an amphibole. Wet methods must still be used even though it will not be as effective on amphiboles in controlling fiber release.
OR-OSHA regulates all six types of asbestos listed above. An asbestos fiber is defined by OR-OSHA as particulate form of asbestos, 5 microns or longer, with a length-to-diameter ratio of at least 3 to 1.
Asbestos is present in over 3,000 products. Asbestos containing material, or ACM is generally categorized as friable or nonfriable. Friable material can be easily crumbled by hand pressure. Nonfriable asbestos is more durable and will not easily break down unless some force is applied to the material. Any product which contains one percent (1%) asbestos requires the use of safe handling practices.
It is important to remember that the small asbestos fibers that are the most harmful are not visible to the eye. In addition, once fibers are released into the air they can take many hours to settle onto horizontal surfaces. If air movement is present fibers may never settle out and remain airborne almost indefinitely, posing a constant and invisible health hazard.
In the United States two primary forms of asbestos were widely used:
Asbestos has been used in a host of commercial materials and is found in concrete building materials, paper products, roofing felts, pipe and boiler insulation, paints and coatings. The usage goes back to around the turn of the century.
Asbestos surveys were made in all areas of Linfield College and asbestos was removed from all areas where persons could be expected to go in the course of routine business (classes, lectures, events, etc.) at the College. Records of the surveys are kept on file in the Physical Plant building (Cozine) and are available upon request.
Any removal projects at the College requires State licensed workers who are required by law to wear special respirators and protective clothing during removal operations.
The primary effects from exposure to asbestos are to the respiratory system. Asbestos exposure is also linked to effects on the gastrointestinal system.
Asbestos is made up of fibers which are made up of bundles of smaller and smaller fibers called fibrils. When asbestos material is disturbed countless numbers of very small fibrils, microns in size (millionths of a meter), are released. Fibers 75 microns will be trapped in the nose and, FIBERS 15 microns are trapped in the bronchioles and lungs.
The actual particle size of the asbestos that is released is important because:
The asbestos fibers are crystalline minerals and are very persistent which means that the fibers do not degrade in biological tissue. Once breathed deep into the lungs the fibers may remain there indefinitely.
The mechanism of damage to tissue appears to be associated with the mechanical irritation caused by the sharp ends of the fibers.
There are those who contend that there is no safe limit for exposure to asbestos. The current epidemiologic studies, however, so suggest a typical dose-response relationship for most of the asbestos related diseases. Thus, the higher the exposure, the higher the incidence of disease is seen. Studies have also indicated a higher incidence of disease associated with amosite-type asbestos.
The 1985 Surgeon General's report on "The Health Consequences of Smoking - Cancer and the Chronic Lung Disease in the Workplace", reports on the research findings about the risk of developing lung cancer and lung diseases among asbestos exposed workers and asbestos exposed workers who smoke. The following conclusions were drawn by the report:
Asbestos related disease typically develop 30-40 years subsequent to the beginning of the exposure. Workers who have been heavily exposed have shown symptoms within 5-10 years, but this is not typical.
There are locations at Linfield which contain asbestos. Employees will not be asked to work in those areas during the normal course of employment. If there are any questions as to whether or not asbestos is present in any specific area of the College, a copy of the asbestos survey for that area may be obtained upon request to the Safety Department .

Will the Belo Monte Dam project on the Amazon River cause more harm to the environment or will it be a good source of energy for Brazil?
The Amazon rainforest is an internationally recognized epicenter of biodiversity. Countless campaigns to stop the cutting and burning these rainforests have fallen on deaf ears. Now the Brazilian government plans to build what would be the world's 3rd largest dam [1] on the beautiful and ancient Amazon River. The Belo Monte project would span the Xingu River with 3 different dams: 233MW Pimental, 233MW Bela Vista, and 11,000MW Belo Monte. In addition, two artificial canals must be built to divert the river, which together will span more area than the Panama Canal.
These dams will have a myriad of negative impacts on the local environment. Construction of the dam will cause about 400-640 sq km land upstream to become flooded for a reservoir - an area equal to the size of Chicago. The town of Altamira will be flooded as well as countless acres that house the region's tribal populations. The impact on biodiversity includes 6-8 species of fish endemic to the Amazon River that will likely go extinct as well as a 2% decrease in the total forested area of the Amazon rainforest.
Organisms endangered by the construction of Belo Monte cannot verbalize their traumatic destruction of their ecosystem, but the indigenous people of the Amazon can; they are currently protesting the construction of the Belo Monte project through an "occupy" movement.
Belo Monte project is the first of many dam projects planned for the Brazilian portion of the Amazon River. Do these indigenous people have a right to decide what happens to their ancestral homeland? Or is the Brazilian government in the right by providing power for the majority of their country? Will the Belo Monte become the Belo "Muerte" dam (aka dam of death)?
Here's a 10 minute video that covers the impact the Belo Monte dam on the Amazon:

May 15 2013: When I first heard about this project I was unaware of the plans for building future dams. I think that it's a very sad situation for the species in the area that will go extinct and the people that will lose their homes when the area floods. Unfortunately I think this is another example of money controlling a governments decision on the environment. Brazil isn't looking at the endemic species of amphibians or the culture that will be loss when entire tribes are wiped out of an area. They're looking at the amount of money that will come into their country because they will be able to have more access to mines, and more access to consumers. I read somewhere in this thread that a group of indigenous people have actually set up wind turbines themselves, in an attempt to show the Brazilian government that it could be done. Honestly, that sounds like the best possible choice. Teach the people that live in those areas how to harvest the energy all around them. I hope this project doesn't happen, and if it does it is done on a smaller more ecological friendly scale.

Hot on the gun issue
I am done listening to the National Rifle Association leadership and its phony claptrap about gun rights.
I am sick of innocent victims getting shot down by madmen.
Bring back the assault weapons ban; close loopholes that allow gun sales without background checks; enforce the gun laws that are on the books and make them stronger; and repeal the mindless "stand your ground" and concealed carry laws.
Gun dealers who violate laws should sit in jail for a while and have their license revoked permanently.
Hunters will still be able to hunt, target shooters will still be able to compete and collectors will still be able to collect.
It is enraging that our politicians are led around by the nose by the NRA and create laws to support its destructive agenda. It's sickening that in the last election, $2 billion was spent, most of it on asinine TV commercials and direct mail fliers. Imagine what a fraction of that kind of money could have done for mental health care and enforcement of gun laws.
Sickened by the slaying
What will it take? What more will the victims and their families have to endure before something is done about the selling and purchasing of guns?
Great, we all want and have a right to protect ourselves, our families and our homes, but when guns end up in the absolute wrong hands, many, many, many people suffer. I myself do not own a firearm, nor will I ever. But I can imagine how easy it would be for me to purchase one.
It is harder to get a driver's license or cash, food and medical assistance! Why is it so easy for the average Joe or Jane to purchase a gun?
I am a mother and an instructor. I am absolutely sickened by this slaying at Sandy Hook Elementary.
Everyday that I leave my children at their schools, in the hands of their educators, I worry. With all of this happening in schools, I am even more paranoid.
If I could afford to, I'd homeschool my children. Yep, I'd put them in a bubble, a protective little bubble. I'd probably damage their social lives and ability to fend in the outside world, but at least my babies would be with me.
Bless those who are suffering.
Why did God allow this to happen?
I know that many are trying to figure out why this terrible incident happened in Connecticut.
Many are very sad, and many might not even care. Some blame God, while some say "why did God allow this to happen?"
Allow me to give you the reason. From the very beginning for those who believe in the Bible, that man and woman defied God's commandment by eating the forbidden fruit. The very first act after that was an act of violence, Cain killing his brother Abel.
Since then, man has found new and improved ways of not only killing himself and our own species, but even the species of other life-forms here on this planet.
I do hope this is printed, so that many can learn from this terrible thing and realize we need more of God in us!
I really feel we are very close to the total destruction of mankind, but that will not happen, for the Lord, Himself, will return and put an end to the insanity of mankind.
Thank you for your attention, and please print this, if not anything else.
Melbourne Beach drops the ball again
They messed up Sunset Boulevard for 4 ½ months last year to make it beautiful, and now the plants they planted are out of control, and they are not up-keeping them.
Now, we didn't want this in the first place. They forced us into this, and now they are not going to keep it up. Sunset Boulevard looks like a rat's nest.
Thank you very much to the people who decided to have this work done. You really did a good job, didn't you? You should be proud of yourself for spending our money having this unnecessary project and not even keeping it up.
Fine print will cheat you
Beware on all fine print on anything. Fine print should be outlawed; because every time it is used on anything, it is used mainly to conceal important data that is very important to know to be able to make a wise decision.
On TV commercials, fine print is shown so small and so fast, that even with today's giant TVs, one can never read the entire fine print on the commercials before they are over.
Fine print actually should be in giant print because it is so important.
Outlaw this legal excuse to cheat.
"Oh, sorry, but you didn't read the fine print. Did you?"
And then, you're screwed.
Help with the garbage cans
This is for the person who wrote "Neighbors helping neighbors."
If you call (800) 223-4825, you can get forms from Waste Management that you can fill out in reference to your inability to get your garbage cans out, and you can get help from Waste Management. They will come up and get your garbage cans.
Good luck. I've just checked with them, and I know this is still good.

amg review
On Bad Religion's 15th album in 30 years, the stage opens with a sentimental but roused Greg Graffin reminiscing, "Do you remember when we were young?/Adventure had no end/Those were the days, my friend," to recall the melodic blast of their early years. Producer Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, Tool) seeks range with some midtempo pop/rockers like "The Devil in Stitches," "Won't Somebody," and "Cyanide," the latter with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' Mike Campbell on slide guitar. Elsewhere, "Only Rain" takes it back to their roots and features some of Bad Religion's most provocative anti-Christian commentary -- which is saying a lot for a band with a crossed-out cross for a family crest. ~ Jason Lymangrover, Rovi
