Applicable Federal Rate - AFR
Definition of 'Applicable Federal Rate - AFR'
Rates published monthly by the IRS for federal income tax purposes. These rates are used to calculate assigned interest charges. Every month, the IRS publishes these rates in accordance with section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code. Interest on loans should not be less than the AFR for the loan to be considered a taxable event and not a gift by the IRS.
Investopedia explains 'Applicable Federal Rate - AFR'
Short-term AFR rates are determined from the one-month average of the market yields from marketable obligations, such as U.S. government t-bills with maturities of three years or less. Mid-term AFR rates are from obligations of maturities of more than three and up to nine years. Long-term AFR rates are from bonds with maturities of more than nine years. These rates are used to determine the original issue discount, unstated interest, gift tax and income tax consequences of below-market loans.

Railroad Retirement: The Stealth Issue That Will Sway The Outcome Of The 2012 Election
If you think that Obama and Hillary are not going to take your railroad retirement and give it to the welfare state, I have a bridge going over the "Hope and Change River" I would like to sell you.
Hey, we got to redistribute that wealth. Those 150k illegal aliens who they are letting flood across the Mexican border need it worse than you. You didn't build that retirement anyway. Somebody else did that for you.
Related: ONE MAN FREIGHT TRAINS! – Union Officials Screw Railroaders In Secret Meeting With BNSF
- Ryan proposed going after the RR Retirement fund.
- Romney unenthusiastically denounced Ryan's proposal.
- Obama said he would not touch it, but worked behinds the scenes to redistribute it to illegal aliens and lifelong welfare recipients.
- You were right to be fearful of Romney, but if you voted for Obama because of this issue, you made a uninformed mistake.
The budget proposal President Obama recently submitted had several provisions designed to increase government tax revenue. But one provision concerning retirement accounts triggered alarm bells for many Americans, raising fears that the government will confiscate your retirement savings.
Why people think confiscation is possible
The provision in the Obama budget calls for tax laws to "prohibit individuals from accumulating over $3 million in tax-preferred retirement accounts." Specifically, the budget refers to a complicated formula that involves figuring out how much money a person would need in order to buy an annuity contract that would guarantee annual payments to retirees of $205,000 for the rest of their lives. The proposal would raise $9 billion over the next 10 years, according to the budget's forecast.
Immediately, many analysts jumped to the conclusion that the provision might involve actually taking away money from retirement accounts. CNBC's Larry Kudlow described the measure in a special editorial in the New York Sun as an "incredible and arbitrary limit or tax on — or even possible confiscation of — IRA-type tax-advantaged savings account [emphasis added]… Keep Reading"
If you are wondering why three million conservatives decided to vote for Obama, look no further than this. Despite my best efforts, Romney/Ryan never did come out and vocally put this issue to rest. They did put some more up on their website, but they never brought it up as a campaign issue.
BTW – My neighbor, who is a good conservative Christian guy, voted for Obama for this very reason.
Nothing is more true to the spirit of the "Taxed Enough Already movement" than privatized retirement trusts. And nothing is more tax and spend liberal than to try to liberate these trusts into the money-flushing toilet that is our government's general fund.
Published on: Aug 11, 2012
Why is Obama spending so much time and effort on the Bain Capital story, when it only affects a handful of people? It is because it is a distraction. Bain Capital is Obama telling Mitt he has a "bat in the cave" so that he can get all the cheerleader's phone numbers while Mitt is in the bathroom mirror digging. Obama's real interest is not attacking Romney on Bain. Obama has more fertile fields like railroad retirement to cultivate — on the sly.
You are probably thinking: "Why are you making such a big deal out of a few railroaders? They can't hurt Romney! It is just a few votes! Isn't the Ryan budget stuff old news anyway?" (And no I am not a railroader. My retirement is in a 401k plan.)
If that is what you are thinking then you just don't know. And what you don't realize is that Railroad retirement issue could be the deciding factor in the 2012 presidential election. I will go so far as to say that if Mitt would come out and publicly say that he will never touch Railroad Retirement that the election would be over. Done! Obama would not stand a chance.
As I write this, Obama is secretly attacking Romney on this issue because it is a huge deal. And unlike the Bain Capital attacks, these attacks are working!
Conservatives are going to stay home!!
(Update August 12, 2012 4:36 PM – see comment below) Look, Romney just lost my vote. Period. Lifelong Repub, my vote now will go to Obama. I have 25 years of railroading in, 5-10 years to go. RR retirement is potent, among the very best retirements out there for union guys, even by union standards. And, it is completely [sic] PRIVATE. Not one thin dime of public funding goes to my retirement. I pay for it…
If Romney doesn't come out soon and clearly articulate that he will fight to keep the Railroad Retirement Trust as is, and denounce just that one part of Paul Ryan's budget plan verbally — like he has in writing on his website — he is in serious trouble come November. That light at the end of the tunnel for getting rid of Obama will be a train, and "we the people" are the ones who will get run over.
Why this is such a big issue?
The rail freight industry is enormous! All of the closely contested swing states are heavily involved and influenced by different railroads and their unions. Each of these railroads have thousands of miles main-line track and spurs. On these tracks (about every one hundred miles) is a railroad town of at least eight or ten thousand people. [At one time a couple of hundred miles was all a railway worker was expected to travel - home terminals and away from home terminals (towns) sprung up.]
These towns are the homes of the well-paid union rail workers (track men, signal gangs, conductors, brakemen and engineers). Plus the railroads also support their kids, grand-kids, railroad subcontractors, hotels, food marts etc. The list goes on and on. But the real people of influence of these communities are the railroad men.
(Update: Woman: Well, I just wrote him on his page about this very issue. Not that I expect to get a response on it, but I guarantee I am not done checking into this. I am a Tea Party Patriots local coordinator, and I will press the issue all the way to the top if I have to, to get him to answer the issue. He BETTER back off on this quest…)
They are the upper middle class, community leaders who influence everything from who is the local football coach, to who is on the school boards and even to whom people should think about voting for in presidential elections. These influential people are active in the churches, members of the golf clubs, you name it. This is especially true in the small towns of the rail/coal swing states like Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky, but it also true throughout the Midwest and nation wide. We are talking over a million people here, who have influence over millions more people.
These people have skin in the game, they are concentrated in the coal rich swing states, and they — and their spouses — will show up to vote this Fall! Right now they could go either way.
(Update: (DATA.GOV) 777,646 railroad employees across the United States, plus 528,759 who are now retired and collecting paychecks… Now factor in their families and the people they have influence over.)
If you just count one spouse and one kid, it comes to over three million votes!
These are good God-fearing folks who are being tugged on one side by their morals, and on the other side their livelihoods. And the unions heavily influence them, because the railway industry is unique in the sense that they still need them. RR officials treat their employees terribly, and these guys have a legitimate need for union protection — but that is another story. What matters is that they are the swing voters, and I believe that they will decide this election.
Meanwhile at the spit and whittle club
"Man I hate Obama, but I can't vote for that Romney because he supports Ryan's plan to raid the Railroad Retirement." This is what is being said in countless barber shops in the vital swing states that Romney will need to win. I myself have heard this being said three times this week from people who have absolutely noting to do with the railroad or it's retirement plan.
I am not sure that analysts like Dick Morris; pundits like Erick Erickson or GOP candidates like Mitt Romney even have a clue as to the importance of the railroad retirement issue. But Obama does! The union officials know the issue's power, and they have put their "General Secretary" Comrade Obama in the know.
Proof is in the actions they are taking. Obama and his union ilk have launched an all out cold war stealth assault on Romney, hitting him where they think that it will hurt him the most. His union comrades are sending out millions of fear mongering flyers to the millions of union workers, and more importantly to millions of union retirees.
Newest Union Flyer (Source northeasternsystemfederation.org)
(Click pic for larger image)
These letters and flyers have one clear message: "ROMNEY IS AFTER YOUR RAILROAD RETIMENT!" The people receiving these letters are not the government-union commies that we are hearing about on Fox News. These are limited government conservatives who would vote for Romney, but are afraid that our out of control government will get and waste their hard earned retirement if they do. They are being propagandized and fear mongered by Obama and the liberal union leaders.
What is Railroad Retirement?
Railroad retirement is what social security should be. It is not available to the government. It goes in a coffer that the government can't get to. The people who put into the coffer are the ones who take out of the coffer — for retirement and healthcare alike. People who work for forty years can expect live the same lifestyles they had before they retired, because the government can't get their greedy tax, waste-and-spend hands on it. It is the closest thing to privatized social security we have here in America.
Company Overview of National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust
The National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust is a union pension fund affiliated with the United States Railroad Retirement Board. The fund has $20 billion in assets and was established pursuant to Section 105 of the Railroad Retirement Survivor's Improvement Act of 2001, which was signed into law on December 21, 2001. The sole purpose of the Trust is to manage and invest Railroad Retirement assets. The Trust invests the assets of the Railroad Retirement Account in a diversified investment portfolio in the same manner as those of private sector retirement plans. Investment of Railroad Retirement Account assets is no longer limited to U.S. government securities and the Trust is a tax-exempt entity independent from the federal government.
Railroaders do not pay Social Security. What is held out of their check goes into this coffer. And as you might suspect, because the government can't get to it that it has become huge success — to the sum of $24.1 billion.
This is the RR workers' money, and it should be left alone. Any government official, who tries to reach in to get it, should be run out of Washington on a rail. But as you might have guessed, both liberals and republicans would love to get there hands on it, so that they can destroy it like they did the social security system.
This is the basis of the Obama attack
To all Republicans in Congress and especially Congressman Paul Ryan, R-Wis.: Keep your hands off railroad retirement.
The House of Representatives just passed its budget resolution that would conform Railroad Retirement Tier 1 benefits to equal those of Social Security, suggesting that changing our railroad retirement would save the government $2 billion over 10 years. Railroad retirement is fully funded by railroad employers and employees with no funding from the government. This plan was passed on to the Senate by a count of 228-191, with all Republicans except 10 voting for it.
The Railroad Retirement Act of 2001 privatized our retirement and removed it from the grasp of our government, unlike Social Security. If you Republican lawmakers want to get involved with railroad retirement, how about helping us (National Association of Retired & Veteran Railway Employees Inc.) fight against Widows Initial Minimum Amount and the take-back provision of 1983. Both of these agreements hurt our spouses by denying COLAs (Cost of Living Allowances) and reducing their annuity by5 percent.
Our Railroad Retirement Fund, since 2001, has grown to $24.1 billion as of Dec. 31, 2011, and is doing well. Leave it alone!
Obama has called out the big dog. He has sent the Mooch to spread propaganda!
"First Lady Michelle Obama will visit a Kansas City Southern Railway facility in Shreveport, La., … Railroad Retirement fund solvent and healthy" …
Michelle Obama to visit KCS rail yard April 12
SHREVEPORT, La. — First Lady Michelle Obama will visit a Kansas City Southern Railway facility in Shreveport, La., Thursday, April 12, where the UTU represents various crafts, to celebrate the 50,000 veteran or military spouses hired by American companies nationwide as part of the president's Joining Forces initiative encouraging the hiring.
Kansas City Southern is among numerous railroads that have recruited and hired veterans and military spouses.
Mittens better get on the ball, before it is too late
Although "Mitt Romney has never introduced or stated any plans to modify the railroad retirement" he has not put this issue to rest.
Here's the attack on the Railroad Retirement Board. The Ryan budget would:
Eliminate the "60/30" provision which allows railroad employees to retire with full benefits at 60 years of age with 30 years of service;
Eliminate the Railroad Retirement Occupational disability program for rail workers who can no longer perform their railroad duties due to disability;
Increase the minimum retirement age for railroad employees to 62 years of age with a reduction in benefits;
Increase the minimum age for spousal annuities with a reduction in benefits;
Increase the annual out-of-pocket medical costs paid by railroad retirees and cause the costs of railroad retiree health insurance under GA46000 to soar.
And here's what Mitt Romney said about the Ryan budget on March 20 in Chicago:
I'm very supportive of the Ryan budget plan. It's a bold and exciting effort on his part and on the part of the Republicans and it's very much consistent with what I put out earlier…. I applaud it. It's an excellent piece of work and very much needed.
Remember in November!
This is a major concern for a large number of voters
The End of Railroad Retirement
To be delivered to: President Barack Obama
The two puppets leading the act on confusion in America is Mitt Romney and his sidekick Paul Ryan. This duo's plan is to do away with a grandfathered retirement plan that railroad workers themselves have paid into. This money does not belong to public funding and is a private fund but those vested in it. The dynamic duo of Romney and Ryan, plan on ruining American and making it a profit for Republican and personal gain. Vote no on anything related to these two wolves in sheeps
Another example:
Republican Budget Targets Railroad Retirement Benefits
On March 29, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives on a party line vote adopted the so-called Ryan Budget over the opposition of House Democrats.
One of the Budget's provisions states that railroad retirement benefits "are more generous than Social Security in many ways." The Budget goes on to call for legislation to conform railroad retirement Tier 1 benefits "so that its benefits would equal those of Social Security, with an estimated savings to taxpayers of $2 billion over 10 years."
There are two things to know about this budget.
First, it has no chance of being adopted as legislation this year. Why? Because the Democratic Senate will not even take it up for consideration, and President Obama wouldn't sign it even if Congress passed it.
Second, if the Republicans succeed in November in winning the White House and Senate, railroad retirement, as we know it, may not survive.
The Ryan Budget is enthusiastically supported by Mitt Romney and almost all of the current Congressional Republicans. Even though the above quoted Budget language reflects a fundamental misunderstanding about how railroad retirement is funded, there is no doubt as to its intent: to eliminate occupational disability and 60/30 retirement, as those are the two chief benefits that exceed Social Security benefits.
As railroad workers and retirees, we understand that those benefits are completely funded by the taxes we and railroad employers pay. But that doesn't matter to the Republican majorities who voted for this.
Mitt's only response
Romney is clear in his answer to the the question that was raised on aboutmittromney.com. His answer even goes as far as saying this part of Ryan's bill was "unnecessary and ill-advised."
But this is not enough! He is being killed by the Obama team on this issue, and I don't think he has any idea.
Question: The union folks are claiming that Gov. Romney plans to move the railroad retirement system into social security (which would reduce the benefits of those who have worked on the railroad for many years), and that is a basis to vote for Obama. To me this is not very smart since Obama has an all-out war on coal, nevertheless it is the argument they are using…Could you please confirm or deny this plan?
Long Answer: (short answer found below at the bottom)
This is an untrue rumor by the democrat-aligned unions in the important coal and railroad regions in Virginia and West Virginia, and told to railroad workers and retirees nationwide.Mitt Romney has no such plan, and it would go against his stated philosophies to introduce such a plan.This is merely an attempt to swing the vote to Obama by using untrue scare tactics.Mitt Romney has laid out his plan to reform social security and it does not mention and does not touch the railroad retirement. (See summary by NY Times below.)Mitt Romney has never introduced or stated any plans to modify the railroad retirement.
Reason: The railroad retirement is healthy and currently does not need reforming:
"Barring a sudden, unanticipated, large decrease in railroad employment or substantial investment losses, the railroad retirement system will experience no cash-flow problems during the next 23 years. The long-term stability of the system, however, is still questionable. Under the current financing structure, actual levels of railroad employment and investment return over the coming years will largely determine whether corrective action is necessary."
rrb.gov – RRB Financial Reports – July, 2011
But Social Security needs reforming:"Social Security began running deficits in 2010, paying out $48.9 billion more in benefits than it received through payroll taxes. Nor will these deficits ever end, meaning that without reforms, Social Security will continue to add billions to the deficit and debt each year."
Heritage.org – Social Security Deficits are Permanent and Growing
Background:Railroad workers pay into a separate railroad retirement instead of paying into social security:"While railroad retirement tier I payroll taxes are coordinated with social security taxes so that employers and employees pay tier I taxes at the same rate as social security taxes, both railroad employees and employers pay additional tier II taxes which are used to finance railroad retirement benefit payments over and above social security levels."
rrb.gov – Regarding House Budget Report on Conforming Tier I benefits to Social Security Benefits – 2012
"Railroad Retirement Tier I … payroll taxes on employers and workers are the same as for Social Security, but Tier I allows railroaders with at least 30 years of service to retire at age 60 with full benefits for themselves and spouse. The cost of early retirement is funded by Tier II payroll taxes, which also fund additional Railroad Retirement benefits similar to private-sector pension plans where they still exist.
"The average Railroad Retirement benefit paid current retirees is some $1,700 more monthly than paid to Social Security recipients, while the Railroad Retirement spouse benefit is some $500 more than paid spouses under Social Security.
"Carriers pay the bulk of the additional Railroad Retirement taxes – 12.1 percent on payroll up to $81,900 per employee, while employees pay 3.9 percent on the same earnings. This significant pension benefit is what the railroads rely on to keep our professional workforce on the job until retirement."
utu.org – Vigilance key to protecting pension benefits – Apr 30, 2012
Basis:The basis for spreading this rumor is that the 222 page draft resolution of Paul Ryan's budget plan included the following two paragraphs:"Illustrative policy options… that could be considered by the committees… are the following:
"… Conform Railroad Retirement Tier 1 Benefits to Social Security Benefits."
gpo.gov – House Report 112-421 – Mar 23, 2012
Mitt Romney praised the "vision" and "principles" laid out in Paul Ryan's blueprint for the fiscal year 2013 budget resolution (which by the way said nothing about railroad retirement), and in the budget passed by the house on March 29, 2012 (which by the way, none of the versions said anything about the railroad retirement either):
"We are making progress. The House of Representatives has unanimously rejected President Obama's vision of an America with higher taxes, unlimited spending, and expansive government… I look forward to working with Congress to achieve fiscal discipline and passing a budget that moves us toward a simpler, smarter, and smaller federal government."
(And although Mitt Romney never endorsed the draft consideration on the railroad retirement, the unnecessary and ill-advised proposal would not have reduced benefits once they kick in, but only would have been to hold the retirement to 62 and older, as social security currently does, verses allowing full retirements at 60 for those with 30 plus years in, as the tier I benefits currently allow.)The unions are spreading big, false rumors based on innuendo and congress proposing in a draft to consider a much more minor change than combining the railroad retirement with social security and removing all the tier II benefits (which probably would be illegal and impossible to achieve anyway).If Mitt Romney were ever to try to reform the railroad retirement, it would be for the same purpose (of saving the retirement, which is unnecessary at this point)…
NYTimes.com – The Serious One – Nov 7, 2011
Short Answer:No one, neither Mitt Romney nor Barack Obama, has plans to combine the railroad retirement with social security, or to reform the railroad retirement plan.The real question railroad workers need to ask is which one will provide a stable enough economy that the pension fund will securely grow (not lay stagnant or shrink) providing enough funds to support additional retirees, and ensure the industry thrives so there will be enough new workers to pay into the system when existing workers retire?~ Based on Correspondence on Jun 13, 2012, updated Jun 30th
Paul Ryan is departing from teaparty values and we need to call him out on it.
Don't get me wrong I like Paul Ryan. He is just wrong on this issue, or he has made a terrible blunder because he didn't fully understand it.
Romney clearly stated on his website that although he supports the Ryan budget plan, he has no plans to modify Railroad Retirement. He needs to do more than that. He needs to stand up and clearly — verbally — state that he will never touch the RR Trust. As for Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP who voted for this bill, they need to go on record as denouncing it as well. Because Romney is right; it was "unnecessary and ill-advised."
I only hope that Romney can clear this issue up before it is too late!
Note: We will be updating these attacks below as we find them. If you know of or have access to such material, drop a comment with a link and we will add it here.
War on Workers: Ryan Budget targets railroad workers, retirees
CLEVELAND, April 16 — The U.S. House of Representatives has adopted federal budget legislation sponsored by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) that would have devastating effects on the retirement security of both active and retired BLET members, as well as all railroad workers. The measure passed on March 29 by a vote of 228-191, with 10 Republicans joining all of the Democrats in voting against it.
Perhaps the most devastating portion of the Ryan Budget are the provisions that sponsors claim "would conform Tier 1 so that its benefits would equal those of Social Security…

Facebook Comments
The screen shots are from Paul Ryan's FB page. He knows about this issue!
Update: (Anonymous Facebook) Mitt Romney has selected congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate.
Ryan, is the creator of the "Ryan Budget" that will take your Railroad Retirement away, and in its place will stick social security up your ass. In my humble opinion Ryan is an even bigger jerk off than Romney, who is a world-class jerk off, and much more dangerous to us as railroaders, and keep in mind I'm a Republican.
I have voted in every election since I was 21 years old but I can't remember a single election where the outcome is going to effect me personally, and all other active and retired railroaders, more than this upcoming presidential election. Romney has already stated, numerous times, he is very much in favor of the Ryan Budget and will sign the bill should it come across his desk as President.
In response to a letter from a railroader questioning the logic of doing away with railroad retirement, Ryan refused to answer the questions put forth in the letter, and stated he did not respond to individuals who were not in his congressional district, and referred the writer to the congressman in his own district. Ryan is an ASSHOLE, and together with Romney they are a very definite threat to our retirement. They are telling us up front, they are going to screw us if elected. How much more incentive do you need to do whatever necessary to insure these two clowns don't get elected? I didn't work 30 years just to have my retirement taken away from me.
As a lifelong Republican I urge everyone to vote for Obama! These f*@!in' republicans like Romney and Ryan are going to make life miserable for everyone, not just railroaders.
Personally, whichever side their on, I can't stand the "I only answer people who live in my district" nonsense. Meanwhile, everything you vote on affects the whole country, not just your district.
(Update August 12, 1:32 PM) FULL RADIO INTERVIEW: Mark Levin says Paul Ryan was a great VP pick by Romney.
I believe that Mark Levin is right, Ryan is a great pick, but he is going to need to clear up this issue before it becomes their Achilles Heel.
(Update August 12, 2012 4:11 PM) The purpose of this article to clear up the misinformation that is being spread by the Obama administration and campaign, and their union allies about Mitt Romney and his stance on railroad retirement. This is not an attack on Mr. Romney or Mr. Ryan. It is a heads-up!
Update: We have done our best to be Paul Revere on this important issue. If conservatives stick their heads in the sand, and allow Romney/Ryan not to address this, it is going to result in four more years of Obama.
How many votes did G.W. Bush beat Al Gore by in the 2004 election?

La Crosse, Wisconsin (WXOW)-- They were supposed to be in service for Oktoberfest but now 4 1/2 months later they're still not operational.
The City of La Crosse says at issue with the ramp parking pay stations is the debate over what to charge for parking. The pay stations have already been installed but they're not turned on yet.
The original plan was to make parking in the downtown ramps free for the first three hours...after that 50 cents an hour. The city now says the fees are still up for debate.
Council President Audrey Kader said they are still figuring things out. "We've talked about a range from one hour to three hours and the variable being the grace period and the amount."
Drivers will have to pay in the Main Street, Market Square or La Crosse Center ramps in the near future.

Morning Topic: Necessary Skills for Running a Successful Dental Practice
Everyone can learn from their mistakes, but those who learn how to avoid mistakes are successful earlier in their careers. Dental schools must emphasize the clinical aspects of the dental practice, but graduates must also run a successful business in order to provide quality dentistry. The number one question by graduates is "What do I do about the business of dentistry?" This class is designed to give the newer (and anyone who needs a brush-up) practitioners and their teams the practice management skills to help them build a successful business and avoid many of the costly mistakes that interfere with success.
Course Objectives
As a result of attending this course, you should be able to:
- Model leadership skills that work for everyone.
- Recognize associateship and ownership issues that help a practice thrive.
- Determine skills to work effectively with managed care programs.
- Apply basic business numbers and processes that help keep the business afloat.
- Use marketing skills that attract the quality patients who stay.
Afternoon Topic: Successful Communication in the Dental Office
Communication is the key to success in most areas of life – the key to getting what we want and need. Each one of us has a unique way of expressing our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. We all develop preferences towards certain words, phrases, body language and other signals to send our messages. This package becomes our 'style' of communication. 'Success Signals' is a communication training approach rooted in ancient thought and supported by modern psychology. Using a system of color-coded styles, this unique approach of interpersonal communication training is perfect for dental teams.

The Hive's Own Observations and Unexpected Results
Variations Under Domestication: Mind-Bender
Thanks to outing Paul as Beth's monitor, Sarah can stop being Beth but must then appear to be Alison since Alison is no longer herself, – or is she more herself than the others have ever guessed? Vic and Paul are briefly convinced that Alison is Sarah, and Felix convinces Alison's friends he's an acting coach. Paul convinces Vic that Sarah and Alison are one and the same, and that Paul is Sarah's new partner in crime.
But is he?
Is it true this episode was first conceived as a 'potluck box show'?
Indeed, the original plan for this chapter was to corral all the clones in one place at the same time, in Alison's home only. But as the clones' unique stories developed, and their relationships to one another became more sophisticated, it was more important to allow Cosima to pursue the consequences of her isolation (and very different priorities) in Minnesota, while Sarah and Alison confronted the ugly truth about not being able to escape one another as easily as they first hoped. In other words, forcing the women together would truncate what each needed to experience, to move our story ahead. Ultimately, the potluck was shot over two days on location in the wonderful municipality of Markham, Ontario – which doubles as Alison's community, Bailey Downs.
Is it true this episode was influenced by Tarantino and the Coen Brothers?
Yes. #106′s writer, Will Pascoe, cites "Fargo" meets "Reservoir Dogs" as his inspiration for the peculiar anguishes portrayed in the collapse of Alison's peace of mind.
Is there such a thing as 'Neolutionism' in real life?
Neolutionism is a fictional term, a sort of philosophical composite, designed to tribute several contemporary and historic perspectives on "directed evolution." At its root, it represents the belief that scientific advancements can and do improve the human condition, so anything we can invent or develop scientifically to do that should be applauded. Even if those discoveries and inventions can refine the terms of the species' survival. These ideas have been eloquently debated by such luminaries as Dr. Stephen Hawking and Dr. Frances Arnold, as well as all kinds of social/science conspiracy theorists, and science fiction creators of all stripes.
Hey, wait – is that Max Headroom?!
Yes! Dr. Aldous Leekie is played by the legendary Matt Frewer, who starred in the Eighties cult series sensation, 'Max Headroom.' Mr. Frewer has appeared in over 100 roles on big and small screens, including General Bressier in "Falling Skies," Jim Braggart in "Eureka," Ted Altman in "Intelligence," Frank in "Dawn of the Dead," and Dr. Chet Wakeman in "Taken"… to name but a few.
What is The Brown-Bag Sad-Face Gag?
When "Orphan Black" co-creator John Fawcett first met Matt Frewer (Dr. Aldous Leekie) as a guest director on another series, Mr. Frewer decided to give him a special initiation to working with the star, on their first day on set. Upon John's arrival, John was advised of an 'issue' with the performer, that day: Mr. Frewer would be appearing on set wearing a brown paper bag with a 'sad face.' John was told to simply work around it, as if nothing was unusual about this strange behavior on the part of the star. Ever the professional, John duly observed this advice, and engaged Frewer's Brown Bagged/Sad Face on preparing their first shot together as if absolutely nothing were out of the ordinary. He had no idea the entire cast & crew were in on the gag until Mr. Frewer finally revealed he was being punked. They became instant friends. To mark their reunion on "Orphan Black," John arranged for every member of the cast and crew on deck for Frewer's first day of shooting to wear Brown Bag Sad Faces to the set. Mr. Frewer was suitably delighted. More behind-the-scenes photos are available here.
Why do I recognize Aynsley's husband, Chad?
Aynsley's body conscious husband Chad is the sublime Eric Johnson, whom you may well know as Detective Luke Callaghan in "Rookie Blue," Flash Gordon from the "Flash Gordon" series, or Whitney Fordman in "Smallville," to name a few of his dozens of other film and TV credits.
Who plays amazing Aynsley?
Alison's well-meaning but inconveniently nosey neighbour is played by the fabulous Natalie Lisinska. You may recognize her as Collette from "Lost Girl," Alex Cranston in "InSecurity," Pamela in "Saving Hope" or Karen in "Less Than Kind."

ToyChristopher said...
Priests have more than one shield and also have power word barrier. Also the difference would not necessarily be between a 2,400 shield and a 6,400 shield. Discipline Priest mastery base is 20% more absorption on their shields and divine Aegis starts out at 30% of a crit heal. It would take a very generous mastery curve and very high healing for a paladin to start to match the strength of discipline shields.
It's also important to note that our mastery has a 6 second duration shield. Divine Aegis is twice that and you already mentioned the length of power word shield. Except on targets who are going to almost immediately take damage, Holy Paladin mastery will be wasted.

The Cross: Bringing the Future of Promise
- Friday, September 19, 2003
Your outlook on life is often held hostage by decisions you made long ago. Suppose you're sitting in a park one day and a five-year-old comes up to you and says, "The secret to life is to do whatever you can to get what you want." A few minutes later a twelve-year-old comes up and mutters, "The most important thing in life is that everyone likes you." Finally a 16-year-old walks over and proclaims, "Independence and rebellion are the only things that really bring happiness." Would you decide then and there to structure your life around any one of these dubious insights? Not hardly. Yet have you ever stopped to think how much of your life today is shaped by decisions you made and opinions you formed when you were young? You were bitten by a dog and now are fearful of animals. You were called "tubby" in grade school and now the most important discipline you have is physical fitness. These immature pacts we make with ourselves often have great sway over the course of our lives.
In his second letter to the Corinthian church, the Apostle Paul wrote: "And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2Co 5:15-17)
The atoning work of Christ on the Cross is the line of demarcation between our limiting past and our future of promise. For all who have received the new birth, the Cross becomes the most important event in our lives. God is "on the set" and he is reworking the drama of our past with a new ending and a new theme. Rather than a tragedy of despair and loss, our past becomes the telling of an adventure-sometimes frightening, sometimes thrilling, often with mystery, but always with purpose.
And the Cross does more. In the forgiveness of God, the Cross provides the remedy for the shame of our sin. Less often noted is the fact that the Cross also speaks to our unjust sufferings. For many, the most profound aspect of our lives is our suffering. The Cross recognizes our unjust suffering, for in his death Jesus endured the most horrible and unjust suffering in history. Of the crucifixion, Isaiah writes with prophetic horror: "He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer" (Isa 53:7-10).
Does Jesus say, "My suffering was worse than you'll ever know, so stop whining!"? No. "The Lord is full of compassion and mercy" (Jas 5:11). His suffering was for our benefit, and he promises he will never leave or forsake us. Through the Cross we come to better understand justice and mercy; we see the possibility of glorifying God in our suffering; we grasp the meaning behind the phrase "entering into the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings" (Php 3:10); we experience his joy and "peace that surpasses all comprehension" (Php 4:7, NAS); life takes on an eternal perspective; and we become able to truly forgive all our oppressors. These realities may be as shadows in the mist to you right now, but God is at work bringing them into full view in your life.
A man in our church, whose father was continually in and out of mental institutions, lived for years with bitterness toward God for the difficulties in his life associated with his father's condition. Gradually, he began to see his suffering in light of God's glory. A breakthrough came when God spoke to his heart sovereignly as he listened to a sermon on heaven. As he describes it, "I think the glory of Christ began to break in on my heart. Slowly but surely God revealed my pride and arrogance in thinking that the God of the universe owed me explanations for the circumstances in my life. I wept with appreciation for God's incredible mercy and patience with me. It dawned on me that though my circumstances had produced great personal pain, they also had been hand-selected by a loving and all-knowing God to produce good things in my life that only they could produce. God graciously allowed me to experience several months of fellowship and reconciliation with my father before he passed away. I look forward to experiencing fellowship now with my heavenly Father without me placing demands on him to make sense of my life."
In a Culture of Self where the problems of the past continually invade the present, the Cross of Christ in the gospel of Christ is at work invading our past-overturning lies, redefining events, and extending the light of the glory of God into the darkest memories of our lives.

Kabocha Squash Congee
Simple, light and satisfying, tender kabocha squash is a perfect vegetable to finish off a classic congee rice and ginger porridge.
Slideshow: Squash Recipes
- 1 cup raw long-grain white rice, rinsed
- 7 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, plus more for seasoning
- One-inch knob of ginger, peeled and sliced thin
- 1 small kabocha squash (about 2 1/2 pounds)
- Sliced green onion, for garnish
- Sesame seed oil or soy sauce, to taste (optional)
- In large pot add stock, rice, salt and ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer. Stir occasionally so that the rice doesn't clump or stick at the bottom.
- While the congee is simmering prep the kabocha squash: peel, seed and cut the kabocha squash into bite sized pieces, about 1/2-inch cubes.
- Simmer the congee for about 30 minutes then add the kabocha squash. Add additional water if necessary if the kabocha is not cooked fully.
- Continue to simmer until the congee is thickened and creamy and the kabocha squash is tender and soft. Add salt to taste. Top with sliced green onions and sesame oil or soy sauce, if desired. Serve the congee hot.
Notes As the congee cools, it will become thicker. Add additional stock or water if necessary to make the congee to your desired thickness.

Redis Manifesto
- We're against complexity. We believe designing systems is a fight against complexity. We'll accept to fight the complexity when it's worthwhile but we'll try hard to recognize when a small feature is not worth 1000s of lines of code. Most of the time the best way to fight complexity is by not creating it at all.
I suggest having a Redis command for displaying the short version of this manifesto:
redis man. Something like
python import this[1].

Corelab has gone from a traditional model with sick time and vacation as separate pools of time to draw from, to a paid time-off model. With paid time-off you actually get an increase in the amount of days allotted to you, and you don't have to feign illness to use them. Everyone across the board received a boast in their PTO and your exact PTO depends on your seniority or whether your salaried or not. In my case (2.5 yrs, salary) I actually received an additional 11 days of PTO! So my vacation in essence went from 10 days to 21 days! I don't know about you, but a month of vacation rocks! People who call in sick all the time are upset about these changes because these type of people typically use sick-time as paid time off. Now everyone must draw their first two days from the PTO bank before they can start drawing from their sick bank. If your not the type of person who calls in every Moday, a paid-time off model is awesome. You get to keep that bank of time and use it however you like. And yes, there is an extended illness bank for times when people are truly ill for long periods of time.

Republican critics of the President's plan say we can't depend on the government to create jobs. Lt. Governor Casey Cagle told us today the first federal stimulus didn't really work.
But he says many businesses are ready to hire.
Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle says, "The good side is that corporations are flushed with capital with some optimism and certainty out of Washington that they will really begin to put that capital to work and create the kind of expansion projects that we need."
Cagle says state leaders need to work to make Georgia more business friendly so that companies will want to locate here.

I also read Ken's post, it was outstanding. Now... today I was meeting a prospective client for the first time. They had issued an RFP for a consultant with about a thousand points of qualifications. I told them I was good at maybe three of these things, and I told them why I though I could help them. They proceeded to ask me "How would you handle a situation like _____" for about 5 scenarios. I used your three magic words over and over again, and described why it would be foolish for anyone to come to a conclusion based on the scant info provided.
It led to some great conversation. I those are three powerful little words!

text: religiousmother babethetics: madblackgirl: hipsterlibertarian: Remember this story? This college student, Elizabeth Daly, was walking out of a grocery store with two other girls and a case of La Croix when plainclothes officers started following her. Exhibit A: The offending beverage. Not realizing they were police officers, she got in her car — which only made the situation worse: Now 21, Daly said she had been terrified when strangers surrounded her car and began pounding on the windows. She couldn't roll down a window without starting the car, and when she did, one agent jumped on the hood and another pulled a gun, she has said repeatedly since the incident. Elizabeth dialed 911 and started driving away, still unaware that the men terrorizing her were, in fact, officers of the law. Once the 911 operator confirmed that they were not random men assaulting her, but rather random men with badges, she stopped the car, only to be arrested, charged with assault, and jailed overnight. "She has suffered from tremors since the June incident, she said." Now, she's suing the state for $40 million over the incident, and I wish her well in the suit. Unfortunately, however, if she wins that money will come not from the offending officers but from the taxpayers of Virginia. As I've written before, police should be just as responsible for the costs of their abusive behavior as the rest of us — and that includes paying settlements. The police are not a special class of citizens. They are not absolved of responsibility for their crimes because they wear a badge. They are not above the law. In fact, if anything, as enforcers of the law, they should be subject to greater scrutiny. Requiring taxpayers rather than the guilty officers to cover settlements significantly lowers the cost to police of engaging in abusive behavior — and that's not a cost I want to see lowered. oh shit the police done started attacking white women now. shit is actually gon start changing K R I S religiousmother Source: hipsterlibertarian

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
The swap of the blackberry for the tomato completely transforms this ketchup. There's still the expected kick from vinegar and the traditional punch of the spice blend, but the blackberry lends it an almost jammy, even slightly sour quality.
A tiny batch of honey-sweetened black velvet apricot jam. It's quite tart and lovely on toast.
This tiny-batch banana jam is sugar free and spiced up with citrus, vanilla, cardamom, and clove.
Making single-serving yogurt in a crockpot is simple. The individual containers are reusable and the yogurt stays fresh and firm for several weeks. I leave a little head room in the jars for mix-ins. Great for yogurt on the go!
This small-batch tomato jam tastes like sweet, caramelized sun-dried tomatoes with a hint of spice and grassy basil. Enjoy with a variety of cheeses, on a sandwich, even on ice cream and sweet cornbread!
What to do with one single stalk of rhubarb? Introduce it to the overripe plums on the container and some 4oz jars and make a teeny batch of jam.

Bundanoon. It was here it all started. In a little rural community in New South Wales, Australia, with approximately 2,500 inhabitants. Bundanoon. Today they will all gather and by show of hands decide to ban bottled water from the town. All shop owners has agreed, despite the fact that they lose over a thousand bucks a years, each. They say it's a moral question. I say it's fucking brilliant.
It all started when a big bottled water company wanted to buy land from the town for drilling wells. Visitors and tourists will be encuraged to use tap water by being provided with empty bottles and public water fountains along the main street. Bottled water is a $500 million business in Australia and the townspeople are hoping that their initiative will catch on and spread. Lets all hope so. (via onepointofview)

After Sandy, lower Manhattan limps back to life
Monday - 11/26/2012, 3:00am EST
By TOM HAYS
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - The hum of massive mobile generators, boilers and pumps emerges blocks from Manhattan's Financial District and turns into a steady din south of Wall Street _ the now-familiar sound of an area laboring to recover from Superstorm Sandy.
Other parts of the city have gotten mayoral visits and media attention after the Oct. 29 storm killed dozens of residents and tore apart homes in coastal neighborhoods. Less obvious were the millions upon million gallons of sea water that wreaked havoc on subterranean electrical panels and other internal infrastructure throughout lower Manhattan, making them unusable even after power was restored to the area.
"There were waves on Wall Street, and it all ended up here," Mike Lahm, a building engineer who rode out the storm at 120 Wall Street, said during a recent tour of the skyscraper's basement.
Nearly a month later, some of the high-rises that are home to investment banks, large law firms and luxury apartments have bounced back quickly. But others buildings remain eerily dark and vacant.
Landlords have warned full power won't be back for weeks, if not months, leaving businesses and residents displaced and uncertain about when _ and even whether _ they'll return. JP Morgan Chase, the Daily News and the American Civil Liberties Union are among tenants still operating in satellite locations after getting washed out of their headquarters in lower Manhattan.
Heavy flooding also hit a complex of multimillion-dollar apartments along the Hudson River, whose well-heeled owners _ reportedly including Gwyneth Paltrow and Meryl Streep _ could quietly retreat to second or third homes on higher and drier ground.
"What you're looking at here is a mass exodus," downtown resident Gail Strum said as she retrieved some files and other belongings from a rental apartment building that's still without power. "It feels like there's no coming back."
On paper, Strum's assessment sounds too pessimistic. The city Buildings Department declared only nine buildings in lower Manhattan unsafe because of structural damage from the storm, and the power company, Consolidated Edison, says all buildings citywide had access to electricity and steam power by Nov. 15.
A real estate consulting firm that's tracking the lower Manhattan recovery, Jones Lang LaSalle, says 49 of the 183 office buildings in the business district were closed because of mechanical failures. By the latest count, at least half were back in full operation, even if it has meant relying on temporary power. More are expected to follow.
"We see that as a very healthy pace," said John Wheeler, a Jones Lang LaSalle executive.
One success story was 120 Wall Street, a 600,000-square-foot, 34-story skyscraper built near the East River that's home to nonprofits such as the National Urban League, the United Negro College Fund and the Eye-Bank for Sight Restoration.
Even before Sandy hit, landlord Silverstein Properties got ahead of a scramble for recovery resources by securing portable diesel generators each capable of providing 2 megawatts of power. Afterward, the building brought in its own fuel tanker from Pennsylvania _ and a security team from Florida to guard it _ so it could keep the generators going during the gas crunch.
Using a mix of generator power and restored Con Ed service, engineers had the elevators, lights and heat up and running by mid-November.
To the tenants, "It's as if the building's operating normally," said Jeremy Moss, a vice president with Silverstein Properties.
What tenants don't see in the bowels of 120 Wall Street is a thicket of temporary, exposed wiring that runs everywhere. The warning "LIVE WIRE. KEEP OUT" is spray-painted in red on the door of a room housing switches, fuses or circuit breakers after it was submerged. The air is clammy and musty _ "the smell of the East River," said Lahm, the building engineer.
Fearing the East River might one day try again to meet the Hudson, 120 Wall Street and other buildings are facing an even bigger, more expensive job: Moving critical infrastructure to higher floors or even roofs.
"We're going to need to relocate equipment so history doesn't repeat itself," Moss said.
Farther uptown, NYU Langone Medical Center and Bellevue Hospital Center had put generators on high floors where they could be protected in a flood. But they still suffered failures with Sandy, apparently because other critical components of the backup power system, such as fuel pumps and tanks, remained in basements just a block from the East River.
While 120 Wall Street enjoys a degree of normalcy, other newer and taller glass towers around it remain shut as teams of contractors and workers struggle to restore power, phone and other services. Tractor-trailers providing emergency services such as "microbial remediation" crowd the streets. Cabs are few.

Located in a forest on the mountains of Almaty in Kazakhstan, architect Aibek Almasov of A.Masow Design Studio has designed a concept for a modern spiritual retreat. The project, known as Tree in the house, presents a cylindrical, four-story glass space featuring an encased tree in the center. A winding white staircase allows visitors who enter the "tree house" to ascend the towering space, spiraling upward around the centric tree.
