Beautifully located in the old city, this stylish apartment loft offers a fresh, bright, modern aesthetic. The Paseo del Borne Loft B is Barcelona's perfect stay.
Sweet and stylish, the Paseo del Borne Loft B is a placid home with a contemporary twist. This fantastically located apartment loft offers a fresh and bright aesthetic with large windows which open up to small balconies.
The living area has been decorated in a palette of beiges and greys and furnished with a large sofa bed, two arm chairs, a coffee table and for your entertainment there is a flat screen television. A coquettish dining table for four is next to the open plan and fully equipped kitchen: fridge, stove, microwave, toaster, coffee machine, kettle and cupboards filled with pots, crockery and cutlery; everything you might need to prepare a luxurious meal.
The sleeping area is fitted out with a double bed, two night tables with reading lamps and a built in closet. The bathroom is dainty and tiled fresh. This cosy jewel of an apartment can accommodate four guests and is on the second floor with elevator – a luxury in the old district of the city.
Services and facilities
Bedlinen and towels provided
It certainly is a hallucinating adventure to stay in one of the narrow medieval streets of the Borne district. Part of an intricate maze of small alleyways which has barely changed over the centuries, the Paseo del Borne Lofts' extraordinary location grants the captivating allure of the city.
The historic Borne has been revamped in recent years to become the trendiest district of Barcelona: chic fashion boutiques, art galleries, cool cocktail lounges, tapas' bars, café terraces, candlelit restaurants... Yet, the ancient walls can't stop telling stories of a far away past.
Its streets were named by the guilds which found them in the Middle Ages: the Mirallers street, those who worked glass; the Espartería street, those who made baskets; the Sombrerers Street of the hat makers; Pescatería where fish was sold. Calders, where the apartments are located, used to be the street of the boilers; conveniently close to the Plaça d'Olles (Pots Square) where you can eat one of the best tortillas in town.
The imposing Basílica de Santa María del Mar, also known as the Cathedral of the Sea, is the jewel of the area. A few steps away in a magnificent late Gothic palace is the Picasso Museum, which houses the painter's earliest work. And, if for whatever reason you might want to wander away from this fascinating area, there is a metro station 300 metres away: Sant Jaume (Line 4).

The only point of the fiscal cliff was to force the GOP to sacrifice some taxpayers to higher taxes.As part of the fiscal cliff deal he delayed cuts he previously agreed to for two months. By delaying those cuts, he is now saying the government will default if we don´t make up the revenue for delaying those cuts. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Obama said he wants to fundamentally change the country. One of his strategies is to destroy the opposition. Another is to diminish the power and strength of the country. This is what the "fiscal cliff" was about and that is what the debt ceiling "crisis" is about. Obama has tens of millions of fellow travelers along with most of the mainstream media. Right now they are winning. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Looks like our Matthew got an unexpected bite taken out of his paycheck, his approving comments about the budget deal notwithstanding. Perhaps he is beginning to suspect that his earnings are really going to be affected if Obama gets the debt ceiling raised and proceeds to go on yet another one of his apendaholic binges, like the ditz who gets her credit card limit raised, and proceeds to max it out.

The only thing BO has ever had is bluster. He has no principles to stand on. He simply picks a point and then pontificates.

Most commentary on Obama´s role in the fiscal cliff tax settlement misses the point. Obama gave his low info voters a holiday on FICA taxes. He didn´t get credit for increasing their take home pay but he got hammered for cutting it when the holiday was over. Usually he benefits from low information voters but this time he is hit by it. It is good to see the mindless mob turn on Obama but this really is a side issue when it comes to conservative principles. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Ice Box Lemon Drop Cake
Recipe Rating: | |
Serves: | 12-15 |
Prep Time: | |
Cook Time: | |
Cooking Method: | Bake |
1 duncan hines moist deluxe lemon cake mix | |
1 c | buttermilk |
1 | 3oz. lemon instant pudding mix (dry) |
icing: | |
4 c | confectioner's sugar |
1/3 c | bottled lemon juice |
3 Tbsp | vegetable oil |
3 Tbsp | water |
My grandmother made a delicious, moist lemon cake like this from scratch years ago. It was my favorite. Now, with time as a rare ingredient in my kitchen, I use a box cake mix and add a few things of my own to make the same great taste my grandmother created. The lemon juice in the icing gives the cake such a "fresh" taste. It's rich so perhaps you can get 15 pieces out of a 9x13 because a small piece goes a long way. It's a favorite with a men's group my husband has meeting at our home each week. They love it.
This is one of the most moist cakes I've ever had! (I attribute that to the addition of the buttermilk... along with the TLC that goes into the prep.) Perfect for a fresh finish to any meal!
Bake in a greased 9x13 baking pan in a preheated 350 degree oven for the time the cake mix box calls for...depending on your oven. It will require a couple minutes longer baking time than cake mix box calls for because of the extra moisture produced by the milk. Stick a toothpick in the center to check for doneness.

"Beautifully made piece of furniture. Thank you."
"I am very pleased with the product. "
"I would just like to say thank you for a fantastic service. All too often people are too quick to complain and never take the time to actually say thank you. From order process through to delivery I have had nothing but pleasurable experiences in dealing with your company, the sales people - a lady whose name I have sadly forgotten and Adam Hill were nothing short of fantastic, ensuring that my demanding requirements could be met (short lead time and hour delivery slot!), your delivery driver actually waited from 3:30pm until 5:30 which is unheard of, I am amazed! And of course last but most importantly the quality of the furniture you sent is brilliant and priced ultra-competitively. Thanks for a great service, I know in future where I will be buying furniture from when I next need it."
"My furniture arrived yesterday and I was really pleased to see how well the items were packaged. All is exactly as ordered and I would have no hesitation in using your company again and have already recommended you to family and friends. "
"I would just like to let you know that we are delighted with the quality of the furniture we have bought from you. Will recommend you to family and friends."
"I am absolutely delighted with it. It's a quality piece of furniture at a very competetive price. It's the first time I have ordered furniture over the internet and I was a bit wary to be honest, but you've greatly exceeded my expectations and the whole ordering and delivery process was very straightforward. I would certainly recommend your company to my friends and family (I already have) and will definitely do business with you again in the future. "
"A solid quality product at a great price, lovely warm oak tones - looks great. Excellent service and prompt delivery, would recommend."
"We ordered this chest with two bedside cabinets. We wanted to 'match' with some other bedroom furniture we had and was a bit concerned about colour.After our trip to Avonmouth to the warehouse/showroom we placed our order with the two lads (sorry forgotten your names) we met there. They were very very helpful and made this a wonderful shopping experience. We've taken delivery today and the furniture was extremely well packed and of very good quality, matching virtually exactly with my other furniture. I would recommend anyone to shop with this company. First Class"

New Granite City biz gets cookin'
There's no sign yet marking Granite City Brewery in Barre, but they've been pouring pints for a couple of weeks. "We're more than a bar; we're a restaurant," explains co-owner Bud Stevens. Don't forget small-scale brewery and brewing supply store.
Granite City is aiming to be a nightlife hotspot, too. The space, in the old Lash Furniture building, boasts a very small stage and a baby grand piano. Friday and Saturday nights feature live music. Stevens and his business-partner brother, Jason, are aiming to "pull in as many neat artists as we can." What styles do they look for? Mainly blues, jazz, folk and acoustic rock.
"We're trying to appeal to a mature crowd trying to enjoy themselves," remarks Stevens. "It's a place they can go to and not feel like they're overwhelmed by a lot of noise."
To keep the crowd full and happy, there's an extensive menu. Granite City serves pasta, soup, pizza, panini and pub-style munchies. Local suppliers include Cottage Street Pasta, El Sol [1], Delicate Decadence [2] and Capitol Grounds [3]. Once Ariel Zevon's L.A.C.E is up and running, Stevens hopes to get veggies through it.
And what of the beer? So far, Stevens' red ale and I.P.A. have been the best sellers. This week, he's trying out double red ale and wheat beer. Eventually he expects to have three "standards" on tap at all times and three more beers that rotate regularly. Of course, you can always get a Rock Art [4], Switchback or Trout River [5].

The benefits of server virtualization are many. Increasingly, solution providers are fielding requests to transition customers to large scale virtual server deployments. Benefits include cost savings, to business flexibility to application agility. Virtualization technologies are rapidly becoming the heart of the modern data center. Here, Phil Curran, senior product marketing manager at CommVault, offers five tips on implementing such solutions.—Jennifer Bosavage, editor
As virtualization has steadily moved out of test/development environments and into the mainstream data center to support business and tier-one applications, customers are faced with new challenges related to the protection and management of data on virtual servers – and virtual machines (VMs) themselves. Technology solution providers that understand these challenges are best positioned to become valued and trusted advisors for their customers.
Here are five guiding principles solution providers can use to establish a leading practice in virtual server data protection and help their customers deploy virtual servers more simply and quickly.
[Related: How To Help SMBs Can Meet Their Cloud Storage Needs ]
1. Choose a backup solution that is performance-optimized for the virtual platform.
The benefits of virtualized and cloud-based infrastructure such as workload consolidation, cost savings, application agility and reduced physical footprint are well documented. However, the demands on the remaining resources for data management and protection are quickly multiplied. Storage and backup teams are being asked to protect large and growing datastores with computer, network and storage resources that are often taxed to the limit. The amount of data stored on VMs is skyrocketing, compounding an already untenable situation. This can lead to broken backup windows, reductions in performance of front-end applications and missed service levels.
End users need a backup solution that delivers the performance, manageability and scalability required to support their most mission-critical applications on virtual servers and be assured that their data is fully protected and easily recoverable. Solution providers need to provide a modern solution that understands the unique and dynamic nature of their customers' virtual environment to minimize performance impact on front-end applications. By deploying snapshot and replication tools, solution providers can implement a data protection strategy that reduces down to minutes the time required to protect the largest datastores and the most demanding workloads while diminishing any impact on front-end applications. An ideal solution marries the efficiency benefits of a snapshot-based approach with a backup catalog that dramatically simplifies recovery operations.
Ensure application-aware data protection.
As more critical applications are virtualized, it is necessary to apply the same level of protection and recovery that they had in a purely physical server setting. The modern data center now demands concerted backup and restore capabilities that will ensure maximum uptime of critical applications running on VMs. The key is selecting a data and information management solution that delivers application-aware, consistent data protection while staying within the constraints imposed by a highly consolidated, virtualized environment. But not all virtual server backup solutions are equal and the distinction is in the details. Application-aware protection is not simply a matter of saying "we have it" or "we leverage VSS" (Volume Shadow Copy Service) – that is just not good enough for most deployments. Application-aware data protection must include capabilities such as transaction log truncation, seamless search and individual application item recovery to ensure a point in time consistent image of the application running inside a VM. This provides the confidence to virtualize more applications realizing the benefits of the virtual platform sooner. Solution providers need to understand their customers' requirements for application protection and recovery and deliver an optimized solution to match.

In what settings is Prejudice found?
I think that prejudice is most likely at school. Like in the Hallways or when the teacher is not being looking. Prejudice is doing mean things to others and I have been a victim of prejudice and I have seen prejudice. I don't think anyone will want to made fun of or have stuff thrown at them or even shoved into lockers. When I see precipice I will have to stand up for no matter who it is because I wasn't having fun being bullied, or being pushed. I know how it feels. It hurts. Its like you want to kill yourself or hide and never come out. Next time you see it, stand up for someone, maybe you will make a new friend. Follow the Golden rule of Treat others as you would want to be treated.

9 in 10 Health Plans Still Tied to FFS Model
The Catalyst for Payment Reform (CPR), an independent, non-profit group working on behalf of large healthcare purchasers, Tuesday released its first annual National Scorecard on Payment Reform, which showed that 89.1% of these payments are still based on the traditional fee-for-service model and not tied to improving quality outcomes or reducing waste.
The balance, 10.9% of payments made by commercial health plans to providers, are value-oriented, CPR determined.
Funded by the Commonwealth Fund and the California HealthCare Foundation, the scorecard is based on data voluntarily submitted by health plans on a self-reported basis to eValue8, the National Business Coalition on Health's annual Request for Information to health plans. The data represents nearly half of individuals covered by commercial health plans.
During a live webinar announcing the scorecard results, Suzanne Delbanco, CPR executive director, said the organization has set a goal to have 20% of commercial health plan payments be value-oriented by 2020.
"We help organize all of these purchasers to ask for the same changes at the same time so we can really move the dial. We try to highlight the urgency of payment reform and highlight the urgency of action, and the scorecard is part of what is helping us do that today," Delbanco says.

York City loan plan to aid McGurk fitness fight
12:00pm Friday 5th October 2012 in Sport By Steve Carroll, Sports reporter
DAVID McGURK might have to go out on loan to force his way back into the York City first team.
Manager Gary Mills is considering sending the Minstermen stalwart out for a month to play some games with a view to the 30-year-old returning to Bootham Crescent and exerting pressure to reclaim a centre-back berth.
McGurk continued his return from a series of injuries, including throat and knee complaints, with 90 minutes in the behind-closed-doors 3-1 victory over Newcastle United reserves on Wednesday and Mills said: "He's had a couple of games and we have to see a bit more from David now.
"He's getting a little bit fitter. We have got three centre-halves there at this moment and (it might be about) whether it is time for him to go out for a month and get a lot of football. It's not just this season but last as well where he has missed an awful lot of football and you need to be playing regularly to get that fitness back so that might be an option for us. We will see."
Mills continued: "I have said, not just individually but to a few of them as a group, that they need to get out and play some football. There's no point in Dave McGurk sitting on my bench not playing when he has been out for so long.
"It's certainly an option. He knows that option and we will make a decision whether it is going to be the case.
"It's important that we send him out for the right reasons – to get that sharpness back, and the fitness, and when he comes back he's capable of getting back into the side."
While McGurk continues his return, however, midfielder John McReady will be out until Christmas after requiring an operation following the dislocated shoulder he suffered in York's 0-0 draw with Cheltenham at Bootham Crescent.
"We may be looking at Christmas before he is back," the City chief admitted. "That's a blow because he was coming along quite nicely for us. We are going to be without him for a while now."
Mills is confident a repeat of the opening 35 minutes of Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Fleetwood Town, where his side were much the superior without finding the target, will hold them in good stead against Rotherham at Bootham Crescent tomorrow but, despite his delight with the performance, he hasn't ruled out making changes for the visit of the Millers.
"I thought for 35 minutes we were the best we've been," he reflected. "I take a lot of positives from that. I couldn't knock my players. If there is a criticism, maybe it's that we just lost our shape in the second half because we were a goal down and looking to get the equaliser and maybe there's a little lesson there.
"My players can go and start like they did on Tuesday night against Rotherham and I will have no qualms.
"Let's go and do the same again. Coming in at half-time it was 'How the hell are we 1-0 down?' but we were and that's football.
"We move on and we get ready for Saturday. I'm still smiling and I want my players to continue to play like that.
Mills added: "I think you always have to look at it (changes). We have won one game in five or six so you have to sometimes look at it and say, 'Can we change it to try to win a game?' "Sometimes it is difficult when players are doing well but sometimes you have to make changes and give someone else an opportunity – a different dimension for us. There's certainly no crisis here. I am enjoying the trip so far after ten games.
"There's a long way to go and three points against Rotherham would put us back up there."

Obviously Dave McGurks injuries have been far more serious than we first thought. Reading between the lines of the Managers comments, I dont think we can expect a quick return to the York City first team for him. He will need to play in a highly competative league to try to regain full match fitness. That would probably mean a loan to a Blue Square Premier club at least. We can only hope that Dave will then get back to being the top player that we all know he is. Good luck to him, for he has always been a fans favourite at Bootham Crescent.

Surely it would make more sense to play him the York City first team rather than the disaster-prone liabilities that are currently attempting to play there.

Its fairly obvious that Carlisle is a quality defender he reads the game well maybe a tad short on pace but is good in the air.
Doig is not bad all round just a bit short of pace ultimately. Ty is pretty solid when fit generally quick enough decent in the air defending just not likely to chip in with goals.
Smith scores the odd goal has his managers ear, but is error prone at times and has a poor working relationship with Ingham.
Danny P as we have all seen is a good player of the football hence he can be of use further up the field good header of the ball is epically fit too. For most of us we recall that under Foyle a good understanding & partnership formed between Ty & Danny P hence we conceded few goals just did not score a lot drew too many games.
With the current squad I could envisage Danny P & Carlisle as a partnership working out with Ty when back fit & Doig filing in as tiredness 7 injuries force changes. That leaves Smith to be improved & found a role but in GM we trust we have a decent team of footballers available Cmon City!!!

A returning McGurk might make the bench if Carlisle doesn't extend his contract but I'd be surprised if he returns anywhere near his peak which was probably a year before his injuries.
I hope he proves me wrong and challenges strongly but I think Mills will be looking elsewhere.
I just hope Carlisle signs on for longer.
In a couple of weeks time we should have a decent spine with Kerr's return. Just need someone who can win the midfield aerial ball. Last season Meredith,Parslow and at times Banjo meant that we won many of the battles despite the critics complaining about players out of position. (as if they're incapable of adapting)
Of course they were covering for the loss of Kerr so such an approach may not be necessary. Mills tactical approach is going to be fascinating to watch. We may get the first indications tomorrow but I don't think the jigsaw will be complete quite so soon. I don't think Potts is in the picture but Kearns might be.

text: MSF responds to violence in North Kivu, DRCSeptember 12, 2007Violent clashes between government soldiers and rebel fighters broke out in North Kivu province, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, on August 27. Fighting in Masisi and Rutshuru, in the south of the province, created even more displaced people—40,000, according to the United Nations—and affected Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) activities in six areas. People in this region are isolated and information about their health needs remains largely unknown. When the fighting began, a two-person MSF team was in Masisi to evaluate health-care needs, and they immediately began working in the town hospital. At the outset, the situation was extremely difficult; nearly the entire medical staff of the hospital had fled and the team had to make do with remaining equipment and supplies. The staff eventually returned, however, and an MSF surgeon and anesthetist arrived, greatly improving conditions. In addition, MSF delivered one-and-a-half tons of medical supplies to the hospital from the provincial capital, Goma. "The first days after the fighting, we took in 50 wounded patients, both civilians and soldiers," says Ann, an MSF nurse. "Most were evacuated to Goma, about 35 miles away, including a mother and baby, who almost died. She was carrying the baby when a bullet hit her spine and the infant's leg." Many Masisi inhabitants who fled the fighting have returned and are now coming to seek treatment. On average, medical staff treats 150 patients daily in the hospital and at a town health center. Significant numbers of patients have respiratory infections, due to cold nights and the start of the rainy season, and severe malaria. To address the situation, MSF has expanded the team and continues to send medical supplies from Goma. At the height of the violence, MSF activities in Rutshuru town hospital, where MSF has worked since 2005, continued with a reduced team. Located along the road linking Goma to the northern part of the province, gunfire exchanges have occurred in the area immediately surrounding Rutshuru. So, on September 1, MSF reduced the size of the team working in the hospital to five people. The caseload declined over several days, as people found it very difficult to travel all the way to the hospital; only three wounded patients were treated during that time. MSF gradually rebuilt the team to run surgical and emergency activities and care for victims of sexual violence. Four internally displaced person (IDP) camps already existed near Rutshuru, and with the arrival of additional IDPs, a new camp was set up. For security reasons, MSF teams were evacuated to Goma from Nyanzale, in the west of the province, and Kitchanga, in the north. Unfortunately, the evacuation disrupted plans for a measles-vaccination campaign targeting the IDP camps and residents of Nyanzale, covering nearly 70,000 children between 6 months and 15 years of age. Just as MSF was preparing to set up the cold chain and begin the vaccinations, violence broke out, causing people to empty out of IDP camps and villages. Further north, in Kayna, MSF's treatment program for victims of sexual violence continues to operate. In late August, 154 rape victims came for treatment over the space of eight days. By comparison, the average caseload in Rutshuru is 70 cases per month. Given the upsurge, MSF decided to strengthen the team in Kayna. Finally, on the other side of the border with Uganda, a three-person MSF team is providing assistance to more than 2,500 new people who fled North Kivu and took refuge in Kisoro. The team is supplying them with medicine, water, and shelter, and is building latrines at the site where they have settled. Tags: Democratic Republic of the Congo |

Working together with APR and Dion Von Moltke, Audi Club Golden Gate will be hosting Dion and his co-driver, Dr. Jim Norman at our hospitality tent during the upcoming Grand-AM race at Laguna Seca. There will be an informal question and answer period with the drivers followed by an autograph session.
Watch for more details of the exact schedule as the race gets closer. In addition to the Q&A session, we also have a Tech Talk scheduled with the APR Engineering team. During the talk, a representative from the APR pit crew will provide the details and challenges of building a team around a car which has been introduced to Grand-AM in January of this year. This tech talk is scheduled to take place in the APR paddock, while the driver discussions are scheduled to take place at our hospitality tent.
To make sure we can "Properly root for the R8", all of our registrants will recieve an Audi Flag to help cheer on Dion and Jim as they look for their first podium finish of the year.
While we can't divulge the details yet, we hope to be able to give "special access" passes to two lucky Audi Club members whose names will be chosen in a raffle on Saturday. More to come as we confirm this intimate and exclusive prize.
Also expected in our tent are Ian Baas and other APR drivers to say hello, sign autographs, and talk about the other classes the VW and Audi S4s are running in. With all of these special events, be sure to get to the track early so you don't miss a minute of the excitement.
This event is called "Turn 5" because of the location of the hospitality tent. For those of you who have been with us before, turn 5 is renowned for being the best viewing area at the track. Join us at the edge of the track for a great view of the cars as they outbrake each other entering turn 5.
Dion is excited to have ACNA Golden Gate Chapter support him at the event and wanted to personally welcome our members to the race and hospitality tent from Sept.7-9. (view video)
Register for the early-bird discount which has been extended until noon on Tuesday, August 14th.
While Dion and Jim are now driving an Audi R8 in the Grand-AM Rolex series, the Audi R8 is enjoying a good strong introduction to GT racing in the US. Recently, Global Motorsports Group, of Santa Ana, CA purchased three LMS R8 GT3 spec cars, which have gone through a series of modifications, and are racing in the Pirelli World Challenge. For those of you planning on attending, or thinking about attending the Indy Car race at Sears Point during the weekend of August 24-26, be sure to say hello to Fabryce Kutyba and James Sofronas of GMG. These two, and the rest of the GMG team, will be in the World Challenge pit area during the entire weekend. Stop by and tell them Cliff sent you.

Matt Rasmussen, founding member and guitarist of the band Rose of Jericho (8 songs so far in RBN), posted an excellent video review of the Squier 5 months ago (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3). An admitted tech geek and avid player of RB, Matt really liked pro guitar, and since that review has posted several clips of himself playing pro charts with the Squier (with an inset of the rolling chart) on the band's YouTube channel.
Of particular interest is something that I just saw on that channel yesterday (looking for links to his review to post in a reply here): this clip of Matt playing a pro guitar chart for "Buried Cold", one of Rose of Jericho's RBN songs. Tools for authoring pro guitar charts aren't supposed to be available to RBN authors, but apparently there are some . Cool to see a guy playing his own music in the game . (It's notable that he breaks streak several times--what's up that??? If you can't FC your own composition ...).
Dare we hope that we'll see pro g/b charts in RBN tracks in the near future? (And legacy upgrades, too--I've already double dipped for "Buried Cold", buying the original in May last year and a recently released RB3 version in April).

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Everybody more than half of you are uneasy about your retirement that's according to the national institute on retirement security.
Of us all quote very concerned that the current economic conditions are harming that retirement prospects.
Who -- -- last about this band Dave Ramsey.
-- that's a recent Fidelity study.
Seven the average atomic got a 401K has 77000.
Dollars Phoenix.
Now when I first heard that I thought you know that's an average.
Including twenty somethings study some things and sixty somethings.
-- 7000 dollars isn't so bad and easiest.
Well if you consider that that does not include the number of people saving nothing.
Then yes it's bad because that's only the people that have an account with Fidelity.
And then a large number of them American public -- zero and so that makes that 77000 as an average very mathematically alarming.
You want everybody who has access to a 401K.
To put in as much as they can to get as much from their employer as they can that's your point isn't.
Well obviously yeah I mean that we ought to save and invest so that we can retire with dignity.
When we watch the circus running around -- done in Washington DC we know we're gonna have to take care of ourselves.
And so you need to be funding your Roth IRA you need to be funding your Roth 401K.
You need to be taking the employer match from your -- need to be investing in good mutual funds that have long track records this is the same song and dance have been doing for twenty years.
But it matters more now than ever.
What about the counterargument to -- 88 you hear this a lost look my Social Security taxes going up my paycheck has come down.
I'm paying more for gas I am squinting and saving I'm barely getting by I cannot a full.
To take more money out of my paycheck and put it into my 401K.
How do you answer that.
Well it's kinda like saying I can't afford to pay the light bill -- -- gonna have electricity.
I can't afford to eat.
I'm not going to have food both of these need to occur when you retire and both of them are going to take money.
And so you can't afford not to be investing long term.
-- -- we hear you but I've got one more item before you go I think you gonna like this one.
A university of Minnesota study.
Says that the number of 26 year -- living with that -- has jumped 46%.
Since 2007.
Do you stick to you I -- the -- He hit the -- from my childhood eighteen.
Hour to.
All the time I Hashemi what do you say -- -- excuse -- You know this is not a financial or an economic statement this is associate -- economic parenting statement.
Were raising a generation of what does get -- -- of your basement parents seriously.
Now we used to send young men off to the empire now and I was a lab and can't do that -- law.
Act -- you do you think maybe that's a little harsh.
Day I mean you know it's not hard -- I have.
It's it's not harsh what's harsh is to raise children and their only skill set at 32 years old is playing Nintendo that's harsh.
It's good parenting to teach children -- have a backbone stand on their -- have the dignity of paying their own light bill and teach him to work WORK.
It is not a -- as a matter fact not doing it is as I've got three grown kids and I don't know the program for years and school after that you pay for -- After that you pay for everything.
A subject so I I'm with the on this spot I make the -- I've got six kids and my commitment is.
I'll pay for college -- able to I will pay for -- you -- -- with an education and no debt but that's as far as -- goes until the same.
Absolutely we allow one of the one of the kids are two of the kids to come back home for ninety days or something.
Maybe you know maybe a 140 days after college to get organized.
And get another big girl job they're big -- job and get on with their life.
But being 32 and in your parents' basement should only occur if there's an absolute emergency.
And it should only be for a short period of time and sadly -- socially economically demographically.
We're seeing this as a major trend so we've got as a generation here that has not grown up.
-- that sounds harsh I'm sorry but the problem is is that we're growing a generation of people who don't know how to produce and they don't have any emotional dignity.
But -- would you hold on for 12 because you've opened up a pandora's box here I mean I don't reaction coming eleven up like I'm -- get into the.
Thank David -- -- here Wayne's world meets the golden girls is what you're talking about does help farm in anyway change the picture here because of you know.
Kids can stay in their parents' health insurance until age 26.
You know I health insurance can be bought if you go get a job you know you can afford health and trying to help our -- -- off.
Well even even after health reform doesn't matter you can buy health insurance you can buy health insurers -- need is money.
And so where do you get money you get that from a job now again is their if someone's got a health problem they got a preexisting condition that's really really serious.
You know we're gonna kick up 43 year old -- -- with leukemia out mystery that's not what I'm talking about.
But this over arching macro concept of our kids are living in our basement is honestly disgusting.
Disgusting that's the final blow from our own friend Dave Ramsey -- I'm just little hawks I think not -- date that would really great thank you so much -- -- again anytime okay thank you.
Good good to see you guys want to go to -- call.

Your Friendly Local Gaming Store: The Gathering | Five Questions with Steven "Boogie" Williams of Castle House Games
Banner, Five Questions, News — By Christopher Spencer on October 5, 2011 at 4:09 pmNeed a copy of Settlers of Catan? A place to play Pandemic or 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons? Your Friendly Local Gaming Store, or FLGS, is typically the answer.
For years, Fayetteville's gaming mecca has been Castle House Games, but when the store closed in July, all was thought lost.
Instead, Chris Curlee, Steven "Boogie" Williams and other volunteers stepped up in August to make an old sandwich shop into a gaming destination. The "new" Castle House is located at 1218 N. Garland Ave. in Fayetteville. The phone number is 479.444.0707
Ozarks Unbound did a story on Castle House Games in July 2009 when the store opened at Evelyn Hills Shopping Center on College Avenue. The store was previously known as Gallery of Champions when it was located at Fiesta Square Shopping Center.
This third iteration of the store regularly packs in customers for Magic the Gathering tournaments.
We got the chance to talk with Steven "Boogie" Williams, the store's Nerd Liaison, about what it takes to run a gaming store in a digital age.
In short, he said one word: Community
For the longer version, look below.
Tell me the tale of the Castle House, a bastion of gaming once known as Gallery of Champions that has journeyed to many a strip mall in its wanderings.
As you know, the business was started about 20 years ago by John Hopping. Its gone from 'sports card' to 'gaming card' to 'roleplaying' to hobby shop, in that period of time, but we remember our roots.
John and Becky [Hopping] ran a hell of a business when it came to being friendly and getting to know folks who shopped there. We try to do the same thing, keep a very friendly atmosphere and make a place you can come hang out as well as shop.
I think John, who died in 2006, would be proud of us.
What's going on with it now?
Mostly right now we're selling Magic the Gathering cards, as well as Warmachine and Warhammer products. Our inventory is light but we have tons of gaming space to hold events for the games we do carry. We find its more about the events than the inventory anyways.
Are you a user and an owner? What's your game o' choice?
I'm not really an owner, more of a 'nerd liason' as it were. I have some investments in the shop, but mostly I'm there to judge and promote events as well as keep people coming through the door and happy. I'm mostly the promotion guy, though I do my best to try and keep everyone happy while they are there, too.
My game of choice has always been Magic the Gathering. I've played almost every game there is to play, and am familiar with everything Castle House Games carries, but I'm a magic guy through and through. I've been playing since 1994, and I love it. I dont think a day has gone by that I havent at least read about the game, and on most days I've managed to play it for a few minutes.
You're kind of big deal on YouTube. Who is Francis?
Well… Francis is one of a collection of characters I pretend to be on my youtube channel. I kind of do a 'variety' thing on YouTube. Sometimes I'm myself and I try to cover serious options (see my latest diatribe about being Bullied, for example).
Francis though is my 'nerd' persona. he came out one day as we were talking about the nerdiest of the nerds that I have met in my gaming career. I guess a little bit of everyone is in that persona, but mostly he's my darker, nerdier, angrier side. He gets awfully angry and goes on profanity filled rants, and the internet love him. At first they think I'm really him because I look the part. Then they see my other videos and realized they've been fooled, and they love him all the more. He's my favorite character to play on youtube.
[Some adult language, but enjoy.]
Owning a gaming store is a tough business. Is Castle House zombie-apocalypse ready? Or at least ready for a tough economy?
Zombie apocalypse, yes!
We're running "zombie practice simulations" all the time be it through magic cards, or tabletop games.
But as for a tough economy, we've got a strong business model that I think is guaranteed to work. It's all about low overhead and high traffic with a gaming store and we have managed to earn both.
We have some of the kindest and most loyal gamers in the country coming to our store on a daily basis. I think we're more of a family than just a loose-knit group of gamers and it really shows. Our Magic players are some of the best and friendliest in the country, our War Machine guys are approachable and kind.
Our roleplayers have roots in the community that go back decades.
I think that as long as we're willing to run Castle House, people are going to be glad to be there.

Does this mean I can call and talk to Boogie?
If you come to the shop and play some Magic event, which is usually $5 or so, you can hang out with him and the rest of the guys. Been going to the shop since it was in Fiesta square, they're a pretty cool group.

Hofstra University Launches Debate 2012 – Pride, Politics and Policy
Series of Lectures, Academic Programs and Events to Coincide with University Hosting Town-Hall Style Presidential Debate on Oct. 16, 2012
Hofstra University, Hempstead, N.Y. – Hofstra University, host of the second 2012 presidential debate later this year, is launching Debate 2012 – Pride, Politics and Policy – a series of conferences, lectures, events and classes designed to engage and inform the campus community about the election, politics and presidential history.
The programming, which begins today with an address about community service and leadership by Newark Mayor Cory Booker, will bring noted journalists, historians, and political strategists to campus in the weeks and months before Hofstra hosts the town hall-style presidential debate on Oct. 16, 2012. The University also has launched a Debate 2012 logo and website – www.hofstra.edu/debate.
"Mayor Booker's message about the power of civic engagement and grassroots activism is a perfect way to begin our Debate 2012 programming, which is all about encouraging students to get involved in the democratic process," said President Stuart Rabinowitz.
"When the Commission on Presidential Debates announced that Hofstra would have the honor –as we did in 2008 – to host a presidential debate in 2012," Rabinowitz said, "we pledged to build on the success of our award-winning Educate '08 initiative of lectures, coursework, events and public programs, to do even more, to involve and inspire even more of our campus to participate in this historic event."
Among the upcoming Debate 2012 events: journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who broke the Watergate story, on March 20, 2012; CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on March 29, 2012; and, on April 19, 2012, a symposium sponsored by the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency featuring senior presidential fellows Howard Dean and Ed Rollins that will compare the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. In the fall, guest speakers will include former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. For more information about upcoming Debate 2012 events go to www.hofstra.edu/debate.
The election-themed event series also offers a variety of courses and activities for students, including the chance to travel to primary sites, volunteer or intern with political or media organizations, participate in the Democratic and Republican conventions or perform in a series of historical vignettes that highlight important moments in U.S. history.
Debate 2012 – Pride, Politics and Policy builds on Hofstra's unique academic strengths and vibrant academic programs in political science, journalism, mass media, business, medicine and law, as well as the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency, the interdisciplinary, the National Center for Suburban Studies and the Center for Civic Engagement, which is sponsoring a series of events called Expressions of Democracy 2012, that includes live performances by our students and professional actors of pivotal historic events.
Hofstra University is a dynamic private institution of higher education where more than 12,000 full and part-time students choose from undergraduate and graduate offerings in liberal arts and sciences, business, engineering, communication, education, health and human services, honors studies, a School of Law and the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.

STOCKHOLM - Swedish furnishings giant Ikea says it is withdrawing meatballs from stores in 21 European countries amid concerns that they could contain horse meat.
Monday's move comes after authorities in the Czech Republic said they had detected horse DNA in tests of 2.2-pound packs of frozen meatballs labeled as beef and pork.
Ikea spokeswoman Ylva Magnusson told AP that stores in 21 countries using the same Swedish supplier would remove meatballs from their shelves.
She said that includes most European countries, but not Russia and Norway, which use local suppliers. She added that Ikea stores outside Europe are not affected.

Internationally recognised forensic dentist Dr Jane Taylor from the University of Newcastle has been called to Victoria to provide her expert assistance in disaster victim identification.
Dr Taylor is a leader in her field of dental identification, lending her expertise in Bali after the 2002 bombing and in Thailand following the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami.
Dr Taylor said the Australian Society of Forensic Odontology had asked her to be part of the massive medical effort underway in Victoria.
"The bushfires in Victoria represent for Australia the single greatest loss of human life during peace-time, and from a natural disaster," she said.
"This deployment will be challenging and heartbreaking, but nothing compared to what these people have been through. I hope my work can assist the many grieving families as they try to recover."
Dr Taylor has been a dentist for 25 years and is currently a senior lecturer in oral health at the University of Newcastle's Central Coast campus. The University is supporting her over the coming months while she assists the recovery effort.
Dr Taylor is also a Visiting Dental Officer with Sydney South West Area Health Service and assists in forensic odontology at the Glebe and Newcastle mortuaries.
Defence Minister, the Hon. Joel Fitzgibbon MP, who toured the bushfire ravaged areas on Tuesday welcomed Dr Taylor's contribution and thanked the University of Newcastle for supporting her participation.

Midrange data center infrastructure and services solution provider Datalink this week said it has acquired StraTech as a way to expand its geographical reach in the eastern and southeastern U.S.
Publicly-listed Datalink also lowered its third quarter 2012 guidance in the face of cautious customer spending and moves by customers to lengthen the time needed to sign contracts. The company expects revenue to grow and earnings to fall compared to the third quarter of 2011.
The acquisition of Cary, N.C.-based StraTech, formerly known as Strategic Technologies, brings Eden Prairie, Minn.-based Datalink over 400 new customers and about $65 million in annual product and services revenue.
[Related: Converged Infrastructure, Virtualized Data Center Business Drive Datalink's 2Q Revenue, Earnings]
Best of all, said Datalink President and CEO Paul Lidsky, StraTech brings his company a complimentary line of products and services and virtually no customer overlap.
StraTech's top three vendor partners include Symantec, Hitachi Data Systems and NetApp, the latter two of which are among Datalink's top partners as well, Lidsky said.
Like Datalink, StraTech also has an advanced support organization that handles support for its primary partners, as well as a managed services catalog similar to Datalink's with the addition of a number of new services, he said. "So if you add it all up, it's the kind of company we focus on with our acquisition strategy," he said.
Datalink purchased StraTech for about $13.2 million in cash and the issuance of nearly 270,000 shares of Datalink stock in return for assets worth about $16 million and the assumption of about $20.8 million in StraTech liabilities.
Datalink's acquisition strategy, which has been in place for several years, has Datalink making an acquisition about every 18 months focused on building out its geographical presence, Lidsky said.
Datalink's most recent prior acquisition was its October 2011 purchase of Minneapolis-based Midwave, which gave the company an expanded security practice and doubled its Cisco technology and services revenue.
Datalink in 2009 acquired the reseller business of services provider Incentra, just days after it acquired Cisco networking partner Cross Telecom.
With StraTech, Datalink gets an expanded presence in areas where it currently has operations including Atlanta, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Charlotte, N.C., Lidsky said. It also gets a new footprint in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Nashville and Knoxville, Tenn.; Birmingham, Ala.; and Greenville, S.C., he said.

Suit worn in 24-mile jump made in Worcester
WORCESTER, Mass. (WHDH) -- It took a lot of nerve for Felix Baumgartner to make a jump from 128,000 feet. His life depended on the suit that he wore, which was made in Worcester, Mass.
"If the suit were to have any problems it would have been fatal," said Shane Jacobs, who helped design the spacesuit.
The suit shielded Felix as he became a human rocket.
"A large team of engineers, pattern designers, helmet technicians, that all helped to design, and build, and fabricate the suit right here in Worcester, Mass.," said Jacobs.
The suit was made at the David Clark Company, which has a long association with the Air Force and NASA. Fifty people worked four years on the design, including Jacobs.
"It weighed 30 pounds," said Jacobs.
The suit had to protect against conditions deadly to the human body, including extreme temperatures.
"He was above 99 percent of the atmosphere. If he were exposed to that his fluids would boil," said Jacobs.
A special netting under a thermal protective layer kept shape while allowing flexibility.
"Completely air tight bubble around Felix, but it allows water vapor to transmit through," Jacobs.
Many things about the suit are top secret -- materials that don't even have names -- and the company will not disclose the cost, only that Red Bull picked up the tab.
An incredible achievement involving one man's nerve and technology created in Massachusetts.

To go after those pesky signs illegally placed along Miami-Dade County's main thoroughfares — think "We Buy Junk Cars" and "We Fix Computers" — the county's building department took a page from the political playbook:
Flood the repeat sign offenders with robocalls. Annoy them enough that they will comply with the law.
To an extent, the unusual tactic has worked. The building department has issued more than 1,100 illegal-sign citations since the robocalls began a year ago.
A recorded message tells listeners that the only way to stop receiving the automated calls is to contact the building department, where the caller is matched with the phone number and promptly issued citations for however many of his or her signs the county has removed.
The department has more than 200 telephone numbers on its current list. Each is called every day during business hours, about once every 45 minutes.
"Some of them answered and said, 'You're driving us bananas,' " said Charlie Danger, the county's building chief.
In Broward, Hollywood initiated a similar program this year. One target of the robocalls, who posted "We Buy Houses" signs, was so miffed that he filed an ethics complaint against the city's mayor. (The complaint was thrown out.)
In Miami-Dade, some of the fines, for hundreds of illegal signs, run into the thousands of dollars. But only about 230 of the citations have been paid. The county has filed personal liens against 10 or 15 people with outstanding bills.
And some of the sign posters have wised up to the system — they're now changing their phone numbers about once a month to avoid the robocalls. Building enforcement officers have yet to come up with a plan to deal with those shrewd operators.
Tracking violators of Miami-Dade's sign ordinance, which prohibits them on public rights-of-way, is notoriously difficult, Danger said. They often pop up overnight on medians, fences, stop signs, light poles and traffic poles, particularly along main streets such as Kendall Drive, Bird Road, Coral Way and the Gratigny Parkway.
And it's not just drivers who notice them.
"We had almost every commissioner calling, 'When are you going to get rid of the signs?' " Danger said.
Angry business owners complained, too. Among them was Ricardo Lopez, who runs a computer-repair shop in Miami and said he had to shutter his second location in West Kendall.
"This guy got me out of business," he said of whoever posted "We Fix Computers" signs around the Miller Square shopping center at Miller Drive and Southwest 137th Avenue, near Lopez's now-closed shop. "I spent too much money ... trying to do it legally."
As the building department brainstormed the best way to attack the problem, one of its employees brought up the subject at her house over dinner. Her son, a lawyer, suggested a novel idea: What about robocalls?
The department already had an automated phone system to communicate with people with pending permits. So the calls began.
"This message is from Miami-Dade County," the recording begins. "Remove all signs immediately, or you will be subject to a citation of up to $500 per sign."
The call includes a phone number for listeners to set up an appointment and come in to the building department to sign an affidavit promising not to post more signs.

Business profile: The Senor Barber
By JOSH FRANCIS / FOR THE REGISTER
When a longtime San Juan Capistrano barbershop went out of business, Al Oliman jumped at the opportunity to keep the trade alive.
Mission Barber Shop was around for 50 years before closing last year, but Oliman opened The Senor Barber on Jan. 8 in the same storefront on Camino Capistrano. He hopes to continue Mission's legacy with his own shop. Oliman, a 28-year veteran of the trade, also owns a barbershop in San Clemente.
Address: 31901 Camino Capistrano (El Adobe Plaza)
Hours: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays
Phone: 949-248-4577
Web: www.thesenorbarber.com, www.facebook.com/TheSenorBarber
Regular cut: $15 ($12 for ages 14 and under, $11 for ages 62 and over)
Flat top: $15
Special request (long style): $16
Buzz cut: $11
Bald cut: $12
Military cut: $10 to $13
Trimming: Beard, $6 to $7; mustache, free
Shave: $15 ($12 for senior citizens)
"We couldn't bear to see our trade lose, so we decided to pick up the shop and continue our tradition of serving men of all ages, providing them with good grooming in a manly and friendly atmosphere," Oliman said.
"What makes us stand out is our desire to know and serve the people of San Juan," he said. The community has been very welcoming, he added.
The shop has many old-fashioned barber touches, including straight-razor shaves. Oliman brought in waiting chairs, barber chairs and other equipment from his childhood barbershop, Continental Barber Shop in Santa Ana, which closed recently.
Oliman runs the shop with the help of fellow barbers Shea Ryan and Brandon Ferguson.
What did you discover that helped you run your business more efficiently?
Going for it and taking the risk, working out the kinks along the way, utilizing our resources, maintaining our relationships and engaging with members in our communities. It's important to be a part of a bigger community – the barbering community and the actual community in which the barbershop is located.
What were some early mistakes you made and how did you solve them?
The same mistakes I commit today. We strive to keep the barbering tradition alive, and to do that, you must nurture young barbers. Sometimes we make the same mistakes, but we love our trade and will continue helping those barbers be successful as we ourselves strive for success.
What's unique about being in the barbershop business?
What has been unique in 28 years is knowing people and being known. It's having seen generations grow, become men, parents and grandparents. Saying goodbye to those who have gone ahead of us. It's living in a community and being part of it.
What trends have you noticed in the industry and how are you adapting to them?
Since 2001, the barbering industry has been making a slow resurgence – mixing the old with the new. We have to constantly reinvent our service offering to appeal to what customers want today, which is a clean ... atmosphere where he can relax, chat with friends and receive a professional cut and shave by an expert in men's hair – all for a price that isn't through the roof.
How hard is it to manage and operate a barbershop?
It's not that hard, but it takes a lot of guts in our economy to want to be in business for yourself. ... My wife (Kenya) does a lot of the management. I truly appreciate her help.

The menu of today's inaugural lunch was intended to reflect the tastes of Abraham Lincoln: root vegetables, wild game, stewed and scalloped oysters, fresh apples and apple cake. Now, I don't know what kind of wines Lincoln liked but those served during the lunch were not from Illinois but from California.
"Senator Feinstein, being a Californian, was eager to have California wines made the featured wines, and so they are," said Carole Florman, the inaugural committee's spokeswoman. Senator Dianne Feinstein was the first woman and the first Californian to head the inaugural committee.
