The deal to extend the Bush tax cuts is a disaster for our society.
It’s that invisible hand, you know. It’s pushing the center so far right that everyone is looking a little more leftist day by day. Then again, could just be said invisible hand shoving the wealth further and further right as well.
Now all we have to do is take bets on which gibbertarian will be the first to show how a 75 year old man can live comfortably on a diet of cat food, white bread and tap water.
I’ve certainly never made pretenses to be center anything.
It feels terrible! If only those damn hippies had gotten their hair cut when we told them to.
There will be great anger. And it will be misdirected. Don’t need a crystal ball to see that.
The same people who insist that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme confidently assert that the stock market will grow magically for all its investors. This kind of thinking ignores the competitive nature of investing.
Also, it ignores the problems of liquidity. When we have an entire generation of Boomers cashing in their 401Ks, that will lead to a deflation of stock prices, yes?
We cannot have a society where everybody is an investor.  We’ve gotten all sorts of new players in the market, but the vast majority of them are what is known as “stupid money”.
if we could only have switched to stock-based Social Security when Bush wanted to, this would all be irrelevant!
damn you, far-left leftist American-hating enemies-of-capitalism communist bastards!ube….
O.K. But when I read the article, I’m finding that the estimates are exceedingly high for middle class and upper middle class retirement needs. 85% of current household income is a lot to expect of lower income wage earners to achieve when they stop working…and for that matter, lower middle, middle and upper middle wage earners as well.
I don’t see this as a crisis, honestly. The idea that in order to retire you need to make your last year’s salary for the rest of your life is a sales gimmick of every financial planner who’ve I’ve ever met with.
I love how this story is framed.
I
Some started saving too late or suspended contributions when they or their spouses lost jobs. Others borrowed against 401(k) accounts for medical emergencies or ran up debts too close to their planned retirement dates.I Some bailed out after the market collapse, suffering on the way down and then missing the rebound.
If only these stupid people had listened to the experts and stayed healthy forever, chosen not to get laid off, and ignored those same experts when investing in the stock market.
Makes you glad and proud that we have Goldman-Sachs running the economy, doesn’t it?
Lesson: If you can possibly afford to max out your 401(k), do so.
That AOL manager who was worth $1.7 million and now is drinking box wine takes the biscuit, though. I wonder how many other former MOTU’s find out they’re screwed by the invisible hand?
I know I shouldn’t need anything like 85% of my current income to stay comfortable. (God willing, the kids will be educated and the mortage will be paid off at that point.) But a survey of one always sucks. I have no idea what a reasonable average percentage would be.
@sven: Damn life and events outside of my control! It keeps intruding on my ability to save!
We’d all be better off if folks did work they loved so that the retirement fetish could just disappear.
FWIW, there’s something inherently fucked-up in working your whole life so that you can retire and then….do what you want?
Anybody know a lot of retired people? Are most of them happy? Maybe it’s just because I come from the working class, but retirement tends to lead to a kind of sad boredom (with a few exceptions).
PS. I have voted in damned near every election since 1972, and I have never ever voted for these assholes.
It’s a little hard to turn off one day.
Why is it that every time people start talking about saving for retirement, the Magic Million shows up to the party? Is it any wonder people get turned off and shove their heads firmly into the sand? Let’s face it, saving a million dollars can be a daunting task. And who says you’re going to need a million dollars anyway?
Most experts now agree that you’ll likely  meet your retirement expenses. So if you’re family is living comfortably on $65,000 right now, you’ll need the equivalent (in inflated dollars) of about $40,000 to avoid feeling the pinch later.
That said, not everyone has been saving even that much (including me), and those evil Galtian fuckwads have siphoned so much real and imaginary money from the economy that even the cautious are going to suffer.
What makes you think I didn’t think sven was outraged?
Physician, re-calibrate thyself!
Well, I’m just glad Cole has this blog to keep Tunch full of tuna through retirement.
@BGinCHI: I know quite a few retirees and they are really quite happy. One of them is still making pretty good money from google ads on his website.
One guy who I used to see at work used to talk about his impending retirement nearly every day. Once the day came, he realized that he couldn’t stand being around his wife or step-son all day, and he wound up drinking himself to death within a couple months. It was pretty sad.
And what happens to the stock market when the boomers really start retiring en masse, pulling their $ out of the stock market and putting it into safer things like bonds and/or their pocket?
It’s seems likely that it would be losing value right when they all wanted to use their nest eggs. This is one place where demographic dominance does not work well for you.
@Corner Stone: I agree, and that’s why I’m suspicious of the whole “retirement will be the best time of your life” routine you see hawked on TV all the time. It’s all about income and not much else. I’m not denying the importance of money for living; I’m just asking whether there isn’t more to life than trying to get “free” of work.
 I grew up around folks like that and I’m really glad that I love what I do.
@Suffern ACE: I am the epitome of “stupid money.” I’m an expert at buying at the top and selling at the bottom. But even I know that I won’t need 85% of my income in retirement.
My take on all this is you need about 60%.
The problem with private retirement accounts is just what you see here, people at retirement with too little money to live on for another 20-25 years.
When you’re young, you don’t think about retirement, you’re living paycheck to paycheck anyway, and don’t have a lot of extra money to hand over to a retirement account. Then you’re in your 30’s, still young, and if you’re smart enough to have started putting money into the 401K, you’re looking at a nice chunk of cash you can borrow on, and pay yourself back with interest! What a great idea! Or you use the money to put a down payment on your first house, or your wife has a difficult delivery, or whatever. Then you hit your 40’s and reality starts to creep in, every time you get the annual statement from Social Security telling you how much you will receive when you retire. So you start contributing, but the bills are still there, the house payment, new braces for the kid, college savings accounts, etc.
Now you may have changed jobs in the last 20 years a few times, and what happened to all those accounts? Did you cash a few out, thinking the 30% tax and 10% penalty were worth it, the cash was needed?
Of course people don’t have enough money saved for retirement in their 401Ks, and it’s not going to get better in 10 years or 20 years, because it’s too easy to take the money out of the account before you retire!
Who hasn’t done at least one of these things to their 401k?
Are 401Ks are good idea? Sure, but they aren’t the solution.
They’re not designed to take the place of social security.
@Ecks: Many 401(k)’s and 403(b)’s have already lost value. There are rules governing how much and when you can pull money out. The real problem is that the accounts have lost value. And let’s not forget the unemployed who had to already pull the money out to live on.
I’m living on approximately 70% of my pre-retirement income, plus health benefits, and doing just swimmingly. Maybe even better, because I’m not blowing so much of my income on work-related expenses.
But I’m under 30. It’s Obama who screwed me, remember?
@Ecks: What the ones who have significant assets will do is roll it into insurance annuities, if they bother to do anything with it at all. What those annuity companies will do with it is anybody’s guess. The amount of assets in personal retirement accounts is so small that I think the “boomer retirement market crash” is overstated.
My sister lost 1/3 of her 401k and 100% of her home equity. Her retirement will be ~$700/mo Social Security because she worked a lot of contract jobs and didn’t work during 18 years of marriage.
There must be a lot of people like this, but the only anger you see is against Obama, who had nothing to do with any of it.
@Suffern ACE: I keep wondering how long it will be until the commentariat just comes out and endorses Calvinism but with wealth in the place of salvation.
If your sister is divorced, I hope she realizes she can collect based on her ex-husband’s contributions.
Protestant Work Ethic? Been there, done that, got the “Max Weber Woz ‘Ere” T-shirt.
@Comrade Mary: The Magic Million is based on living off interest and dividends and not touching the principal.
The Rule of Thumb I’ve heard is that you can pull out 4% of your savings every year safely. So if you want to live on $40K per year, you’ll need $1,000,000 saved up (40,000/0/04).
If you’re willing to guess that you’ll live to 90 and spend down the principal until that magic date, you won’t need the whole Magic Million.
Bingo. And she’ll have to continue at least part time, if at all possible.
We’ll all go out of the adult world the way we came into it, sharing apartments, driving beaters, drinking jug wine, and eating boxed mac-and-cheese.
Now if the dope, sex, and music would also come back for a reprise in Act II…..
@Comrade Mary: A million dollars divided by 20 years is $50,000. I have three grandparents still living – their ages are 92, 90, and 89. My great-grandmother lived until she was 95 years old. If I retire at age 70 and plan to live as long as my great-grandmother did, in order to live on $40,000 a year I will need a million dollars. Is that a lot to ask for?
@frosty: Ah, but can people making $25,000 a year save a million?
ETA: You can’t save that amount anymore, not with savings accounts paying less than 1% interest a year. You have to invest it and that’s a gamble that the markets won’t tank as they’ve done a number of times since the 1970s.
@Zuzu’s Petals: Not sure what her husband’s SS will be; he’s self-employed and cheats on his taxes as much has he can get away with.
The weird thing we found out is that she can collect her own SS, whatever that is, or her share of her husband’s SS, whatever that is, but not both. So she either loses her own 18 or so years of contributions, or the 18 or so years of contributions from her married years.
Well, you get a mortgage for $300,000, the house gains value, you sell it, put the million bucks profit….
Oh, sorry, that was last decade.
1. Republicans will introduce the Stop The Job Killing Destruction of America’s Free Market bill.
2. fReichtard bobbleheads will lambaste the lazy, America hating oldsters who are trying to bring this country to its knees by withdrawing their money from the market.
3. Gibbertarians will explain how foolish it is for anyone to think the money they put in their retirement fund is actually their money and anyway withdrawing the money is rude and uncivil because it shows a lack of trust in the hard working men and women of the stock exchange.
Thank you for that appropriate equivalency.
It HURTS. And not in the good way.
If people can afford to retire somewhat comfortably, they are happy in retirement if they have hobbies or other interests they want to pursue but haven’t had time to do.
It’s different for those who don’t have much of anything that turns them on when they aren’t working. One relative was going to retire until his wife and family his free time. He didn’t have a clue so he is still working.
Too many people are concentrating solely on how much money they need to retire but completely forget to plan what they will do with their time once they do.
This is what we get for having poor people. If we didn’t have any poor people then we wouldn’t have this problem.
It’s obviously all their fault. I mean, look at the rich. They’re doing just fine!
Well, I think it’s not quite such a stark choice. It’s true she can’t add all the years together for a longer earning record (I don’t think), but she can combine things in certain ways. For example, if she were full retirement age, she could collect on her ex’s record only, then let her own contributions accrue and collect on her own at age 70, with a much higher benefit.
@dmsilev: Ahh, there you have it. The perfect solution.
Carry on everyone, nothing more to see here!
@Suffern ACE: That’s a good answer, thanks.
@PurpleGirl: Nope. But people making $25,000 per year (and presumably living on it) wouldn’t need a million.
Hear me out: Let’s assume they are going to need 100% of current income in retirement, not 60%. To do that, pulling 4% out of their nest egg, they’ll need to have saved $625,000.
Without the Crisco, too. Thing is, there’s nothing all that invisible about it any more. The Wall St. thievery is in all the papers, daily, and anyone with their eyes open who’s not a dittohead or Fox junkie can see whose arm that fist is attached to. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people being screwed who have to wait to be told by their Leaders who they should blame for it.
Vanguard upped their recommended savings rate to 12 – 15%. Isn’t the contribution cap 15% pre-employer contributions? I’m sure that will work well for those scraping by on 35 to 40k a year. 15% is a lot to save in that wage bracket.
Time Magazine had a decent article a couple years back on why 401k’s are just a bad idea to begin with.
My (maternal) granddaddy & my dad, who both lived through the depression in the Appalachian south, both maintained the stock market was a sucker bet. They were right & I wish I had half the cash my granddaddy had buried in jars behind the house when he died.
I don’t know how anyone ever imagined that retirement plans based on voluntary personal savings would ever provide enough for any but a small portion of the population to have enough income to be secure in retirement. Of course people haven’t saved enough. Have those who came up with the idea of replacing pensions with 401(k)s ever *met* any actual human beings?
d say for anyone under middle-middle class the 401k/IRA model is a joke.  “Normal” swings in value will wipe you out. Sure, it works when you’re rich, because you have disposable income, semi-competent advisors who don’t treat your account as a nuisance-size anthill of money to churn in fees, and the ability to weather bad patches.
In the last decade, your average 401k victim has had the tech crash, the financial crash, and probably got sucked into buying real estate at the peak. Yay for capitalism, or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
@Davis X. Machina: Actually, that is my retirement plan.
No, they only hang out with superhuman beings like themselves. We don’t matter a whit to them because they are too busy being rich.
@morzer: Work ethic but also grace and predestination. The market will reveal those who are among the elect we need simply need to accept its infinite wisdom.
I feel like I have been very conservative with my 401k, mostly index funds from Vanguard & Fidelity (the lowest fees of any index funds). I have large & small, foreign and domestic. And over the last 10 years the rate of return has been just about zero. Given that in the history of the market there has never been a 10 year span that did not return 8%/year on average that is what I planned on. Now I am almost 60 & will never make the last decade back. I’m pretty much screwed.
Actually, that is my retirement plan.
I plan to siphon off the grease from local school cafeterias.
The Protestant work ethic actually has grace and predestination baked into it, which isn’t surprising, since it was actually based on Calvinist ideas. As Weber tells it, your work ethic is a sign of grace and personal salvation.
Oh, I forgot to mention the kindness Honeywell, Inc provided me. After 19 years with them the decided toI was “given” $18,000 which I can not have until after my 65th birthday. The graciously reward me with the government prime rate of return (a little less than 3% over the last few years).
I’m adding all this to my bucket list. Which now involves an actual bucket.
Just remember, I have first dibs on Boehnergrease.
@morzer: You can prolly run it in your clean diesel VW.
met any actual human beings?
Well, I was planning to advertise bathing in the stuff as the way to achieve a milk-white skin and breasts without a hint of sag… I reckon that ought to get me 50k from Sally Quinn for a start. And then another 50k not to reveal what her Croneship has been reduced to doing to patch up her wizened hide.
I agree, but I’ve yet to find someone who will pay me to pile up on my sofa and read books all day long.
Aaand block quote fail. FYWP.
I intend to live under a bridge and cook sparrows on curtain rods over a fire in a barrel.
As long as the weird people a bridge over don’t even have a sparrow like I do.
@Phyllis: I get paid for doing that for part of the day.
But yeah, I hear you. Now, in my Utopia…..
@El Cid: You’re invited over for pigeon.
Bring your own Bordeaux.
No doubt, we’ve been fistf**ked by the shadowy overloards.
And, when my grandparents plans went up in smoke in 1931, they moved back in with my great great aunt. She had a big house, needed help physically and financially, and while it was a bit humiliating for my grandfather, they kept house, home and family together.
I know that some families are already stacked to the rafters in America, but there’s a helluva lot of retirees rattling around with 3.5 bedrooms and 2.856 baths. Rent a room out to a college student. Take in the teen preagnant grand daughter.
(I know this sounds callous. Too many hours spent seeing the evil future of Kochmerica has me really bile-soaked).
Sometimes I think I should never read blog posts like this. I’m about two years away from 40, and because of my decision to go to graduate school about 13 years ago, I’ve been living paycheck to paycheck all that time with no retirement savings and also building up lots and lots of debt.
Okay, yeah, I know I made those choices and I’m not expecting anyone to pity me. But I do think it’s okay for me to be at least a little scared.
In this sociopaths’ universe, if you weren’t at least a little scared, I’d be worried about you.
@Linnaeus: See my posts above. My hope is that even though we pretty much sacrificed retirement (or at least any early version) by going to grad school, at least we do something we love and can sustain that a lot longer.
@El Cid: Or a curtain rod.
No need to be worried about me on that score. Yeah, I’m scared.
That’s what I’m hoping to be able to do in the next 30 years or so; I don’t expect to retire, but maybe what I’m doing when I die will be something that I find fulfilling.
@Linnaeus: I’m going out on a gurney.
Or shot in a motel by a jealous husband.
So long as it is anatomically improbable and intensely enjoyable, I don’t much mind how I go out….
got the “Max Weber Woz ‘Ere” T-shirt.
.
True. Better planning would require two jealous husbands at the very least….
@morzer: But if we were in Utah….
If we were in Utah, we’d have been arrested long before this for being seditiously good-looking and causing public displays of lust among all their wimmins.
in my experience, the “$1M” usually includes all your assets, including your house. the expectation is that you’ll sell that $300K house and move into something smaller, putting the net proceeds towards retirement.
2. Play whack a Republican Politico/Business Leader/CEO, etc. until caught.
I’m not sure the plan will be effective then. I mean, have you seen some of those Mormon men and women? I swear they have beautiful daughters just for the convert potential alone.
That’s my plan. Except when the law is finally on my tail I’m going to escape to Canada or another country without the death penalty and make them extradite me back under the condition that the death penalty is off the table.
 After last nights thread I’m looking into Costa Rica. Maybe I’ll be able to retire at 68-70 if I’m not dead by then.
Not to mention that the GOP is set on delaying those SS checks in the coming shutdown.
Let’s remember one thing: These are the people that voted for Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. Old people vote Republican now, mainly, I think, because of that Negro in the White House.
I can’t wait to see the expression on the old Tea Partyers’ faces when they are finally told the truth. All that “government spending” they hate so much goes to them. And it needs to be cut. Now.
My working definition for “middle class” has been “leveraged out the wazoo but still able to make the payments” for a while now. Poor people can’t get credit, rich people don’t need it, middle class survive on it.
That makes it kind of hard to build retirement savings. It’s amazing how many so-called middle class are living paycheck to paycheck, which makes it a little difficult to build up retirement savings. I’m nowhere near maxed on my 401(k); I’m contributing enough to get the full matching (in company stock, oh joy), but can’t put away more than that, at least not for the next year or so. A good friend of mine from way back, dyed-in-the-wool Republican (and an Aggie, but otherwise sane and a good guy), has admitted that he’ll never be able to retire. Those of us in our forties are staring at a future of literally working until we die.
That would be nice – everybody gets up every morning *aching* to get to work, where they can fulfull their personal fulfillment and actualization. And they wouldn’t be ‘rightsized’ until the moment that they felt ready to move to a new phase in their life.
If one starts putting serious money in their 401(k) at age 40, there will be 25 years where even ordinary economic downturns can trash it.
Don’t worry; you’ll eventually get laid off (or your employer will simply cease to exist), and then you’ll be permanently unemployed.
This depends, of course, on the assumption that there’ll be “folks” who are going to love to work as garbagemen, fast food workers, home health care aides, slaughterhouse workers, janitors, maids, waitresses, ditch diggers, etc.
After all, these are jobs that will still need to be done. If in real life they’re only going to be done by people who love to do them, I predict that, uh, these jobs might not get done. And even if they were all filled by people who were doing them for sheer love of the job, I don’t think it’s all that feasible to have, say, an 85 year old garbageman who’s never expected to retire…….

I don’t think your friend has to worry. At some point he’ll just get laid off and never be able to get a job again because employers will want to hire a younger man willing to do the job for less. It won’t be “retirement”, sure, since he won’t have any money, but he will be able to spend decades in unproductive idleness.
Our Galtian Overlords are simply not afraid of a revolution led by 65+-year-olds, that’s the trouble.
Although, in that case, you’d think they’d be doing more to ensure good jobs for the deeply-in-debt recent college grads.
Or… perhaps… they simply haven’t thought this through adequately.
As another data point, was putting 18% of my earnings into a 401(k) in the mid-1990s, and had 25K after three years before changing jobs. I thought I was doing pretty well. At 8% growth, that should have been worth $100K by 2010. Last year, I rolled it into an IRA. Its worth? Just over $30K. Not much return for a lot of sacrifice in the younger years.
@RickD: “
I’ve never seen a person who both denounces Social Security and doesn’t claim magical results from the stock market.
And fifties, and many in their sixties. Really, if one doesn’t have a business to sell, or some sort of pension, retirement is called ‘keep on working’.

Don't waste your valuable dollars marketing to the masses!You'll find 80% of your sales, profits, and business success within walking distance!
This sums up what is happening in business today. American businesses and workers are in an Identity Crisis. Government is going into business, and businesses are going out of business in ways A bonus has gone from a perk to a pejorative, and the corporate jet, once a sign of success, is now viewed as a sign of excess. The financial markets, which are largely based on predictions and projections, are a mess, largely because both are based on a sense of historical continuity that has recently been rendered irrelevant.environment they don't even recognize, let alone understand. How can they strategize to it?
The American worker, who is trying to face this crisis with a can-do attitude, is experiencing an identity crisis as well. Our most experienced workers, people with 20 or 30 years of on-the-job experience, have never operated in a business climate like this. So, which part of their "experience" still has some value, and which part is weighing them down in this vast sea change?Today's economic crisis is a real game many of the old rules don't apply, and what used to put you on the scoreboard doesn't necessarily do so now. What, if anything, can be done?
So how does one begin to see oneself and one's business differently?

Darxul Comments on Political Argument
One breezy sunny day at the park, the aging Darxul was approached by a young political activist who handed him a brochure supporting his candidate and attacking the candidate's opponent.
"Your statement that all politicians are liars is a poster child for poor thinking."
"Third, the claim implies a tu quoque type of fallacy. Your implied argument is that because other politicians tell lies, it is justifiable for your candidate to tell lies. If telling lies is wrong, it is wrong for everyone, regardless if other people lie. You wouldn't argue that because other people rob banks, it's okay for you to rob a bank."

Posted on July 14, 2015 by Robert Johnson
Summer is here, and in California, grape growers and winemakers are riding an emotional rollercoaster. On one hand, they are like other Californians in wishing that one of the worst droughts in the state’s history could be over. On the…

Howard Lyman on The O'Reilly Factor
Tuesday's guest was Howard Lyman, Oprah's co-defendent in the cattle feedlot industry's suit against her, and president of Voice for a Viable Future. ( )
O'Reilly opened the segment with:
Bridget Chufo, from the "Healthy Performance Weight Loss and Wellness Center" was also on, admitting that vegetarians live 9-10 years longer but saying that its because we have healthier life styles - we don't smoke, we don't drink. (This news would come as a surprise to the our local wine merchant who knows me and some vegan friends rather well.) She said that it was hard for children to get protein from a vegan diet - as if lack of protein, rather than heart disease, was a common problem in this country.
Lyman replied,
"You can feed kids and you can feed them healthy with foods that are out there, that are not full of saturated fat and cholesterol. And, you know, you can get all of the protein you need on the vegetable side of the diet. There is absolutely no reason to go out and eat meat and dairy products. That protein myth is an absolute red herring."
To which Lyman, God bless him, smiled and shot back:
O'Reilly smiled and said, "Very good, Mr. Lyman." Then "You see, that vegan
O'Reilly asked Lyman if he is an animal rights person, saying,
"Now Mr. Lyman, you realize that the whole vegan/vegetarian movement is tied in with the animal rights movement, and that, you know, that alienates a lot of people. They say these are fanatics and they put the animals above humans and all that. Is that in your resume here? Are you an animal rights person?"
Lyman said,
"I came from a ranch where I had 7,000 head of cattle. And I will tell you today that knowing what I know today, the happiest thing I'm able to say is no animal has to die for me to live."
"And I'm with you. If you have a heart problem, if you're getting, you know, cholesterol through the roof, you've got to change your diet. But for many Americans, you don't." He and Chufo both decided all things in moderation and O'Reilly closed with:
" I really believe in the moderation deal, but I will say in Mr. Lyman's case, if he had the cholesterol and, you know, you've got to cut it down little bit. Thanks all. Very interesting conversation. We appreciate it."

Northern Ireland: world capital for bigotry…%.
We love reading your posts on Slug it really makes the day (at times sometimes you can be to harsh on people especially harmless middle class middle of the road types)
What we would like to know is are you Newton Emerson
My wife and brother-in-law think you are and I disagree so to save a family feud developing would you please giv’us an answer to the question.
For reasons best withheld I can’t ask with my Slugger alias
As its a b1got thread, a joke, not very good:
What’s a bigot’s favourite film?
How about making some money on bigot memorabilia; have a shop call it “Bigots R US”, like the toy shop “Toys R US”. Tourists would love it.
When someone says to me, why do you want to visit norn iron. I reply “well that’s where the bigots are?”
Better go see em, as they might become an endangered species
1. .
2. ’t been, isn’3. The answer does indeed often lie somehwere in the middle though not always.
Sunni’s and shite’s currently at each others throats would seem more likely to be a contender for this dubious title.
For your thesis to be true, it would have to assume that, absent all fo the events of history, NI would end up exactly where it is today. And that arguement is a non-starter.
No sensible Unionist would and for obvious reasons.
I am not denying history has happened or that the present day is its result nor I am refusing to engage in it as I think I am on a sticky wicket. I just don’t believe it has any significant value to the political debate.
RE: IS â€œTHE DEVILâ€ NEWTON EMERSON
NE is a lifelong Atheist, which turns out to be a kind of Protestant. There is a similar religion for Catholics, which is called Anti-Clericalism.
b) that NI people are more extreme – some are very anti-immigrant/anti-gay/racist; but some are prepared to go out of their way, well beyond the call of duty and well beyond what is the case elsewhere, to assist newcomers and/or those of different races?
All thoughts from a Devil’s Advocate point of view, you understand, but sensible comments welcome.
Why are people asking the angry natives what they think about foreigners?
Why donâ€™t they ask the foreigners what they think about the angry natives?
I suspect he’ll be horrified by the very suggestion.
Watch yourself Newt. There’s a “distinct similarity in style” between the ‘Are You or Aren’t You’ question and a certain newspaper’s alleged letters page (“Squinter really makes my day!”)
No calm down guys. I ‘know’ Newt, and I ‘know’ the Devil. And they are two different people.
The speculation may be fun, even if it is completely off the mark. But it could also be mischievous fun and, possibly, an attempt to create story elsewhere!
Seems to me you leftwing imbecile Irish need to tone it down there…
Last Time I looked many Muslims are nasty critters who are true Islamists which make them virtually incompatible with every other people in the world, and to a certain extent themselves…
But hey, I’m just a nutjob Right-Wing American Catholic Authoritarian Contra….what do I know?
Spirit of Bill Oliver: I love the way you open your post with “you leftwing imbecile Irish need to tone it down”. You Yanks really DON’T understand irony, do you?
Still a World beater at something.


Awarding the grants is interesting, time-consuming and very satisfyingapplications and into the completion of the projects means that the committee takes this task very seriously and we have a very strong commitment to a fair and transparent process. The committee also plays an active role in the creation of the ALIA Research Agenda; the further development of research activities for the Association, including conference workshops; producing the research-related information, resources and support that should be available to ALIA Members, and raising awareness of, and contributions to, the ALIA Research Fund.
I have met some incredible people through the committee, both ALIA employees and committee members. It was daunting when I joined that first phone hook-up and spoke to people I had never met. Helping deliver my first practitioner research workshop at ALIA 2012 was a pivotal moment. My fellow committee members were not at all scary in real life; they were warm, welcoming and happy to have me on board.

Have been finding myself nursing a negative attitude, and knowing that negative attitudes breed depression, It is time to be done with negativism and start intentionally thinking things the way God would see them, or at least want me to see them. I was just reminded about Joseph, son of Jacob, son of Isaac, Son of Abraham. In Genesis we read this..So even back in the old testament it has always been a matter of the heart. Who do you serve?


Clare es. Clare was a noted contemplative and Let the virginheaven and earth.
one day in Your promise is sweet to my taste, O Lord.
I rejoiced to do your will as though all riches were mine. Your will is my delight; your statutes are my counsellors.
The law from your mouth means more to me than silver and gold. .
Your will is my heritage for ever, the joy of my heart. I open my mouth and I sigh as I yearn for your commands.
As we proclaim your wonders, O Lord, in the commemoration of the holy Virgin Saint Clare we bring you these offerings and prayers; grant, we ask, that, as her merits are pleasing to you, so, too, our dutiful service may find favour in your sight. Through Christ our Lord.
The bridegroom has come, and the virgins who were ready have gone with him into the wedding feast.
May the mysteries we have received, O Lord, on this feast day of the Virgin Saint Clare constantly bestir and enlighten us, we pray, so that we may stand ready for the coming of your Son and be admitted to his wedding feast on high. Through Christ our Lord.
 Children are just themselves. Jesus prays that we should change our attitude in conformity to that of children. They do not aspire for greatness as we do. We already knew that the Father has a preference for the small children, but today we can recognize another wish of the Father that becomes imperative: «Heaven» (Mt 18:3). Those with this childlike attitude are those to whom the kingdom of heaven belongs. What is important is for us to be as lowly (humble)as children; for he who is low has no fear of fall.

"I have to charge by bulk rather than weight," said the proprietor of the Sturgis Water Line, "and first come, first served."

But the upshot of it was, that before the Asquam car—later than usual—arrived at Bayside, the Flying Dutchman was chugging out into the bay, so loaded with trunks that Ken felt heartily for the Irishman, who, under somewhat similar circumstances, said "'t was a merrcy the toide wasn't six inches hoigher!
Ken, on this first day, helped the old man load the trunks, rode with him to their various destinations, saw them received by unbelieving and jubilant owners, and then tore back to Applegate Farm, exultant and joyful. Having no breath for words, he laid before Felicia, who was making bread, four dollars and a half (six trunks at seventy-five cents apiece), clapped the yachting cap over Kirk's head, and cut an ecstatic pigeon-wing on the kitchen floor. "One trip!" gasped Phil, touching the money reverently with a doughy finger. "And you're going to make two round trips every day!That's eighteen dollars a day!Oh, Ken, it's a hundred and twenty-five dollars a week!Why, we're—we're millionaires!"


I have played paintball before and the gun is used wasn't that accurate. Anything more than a few feet from me may or may not be hit. I am sure some of it may be the fact that I can't shoot straight though. If you are a fan of the V Energy Drink or paintball, in general you will get a kick out of this contraption that puts 840 barrels of paintball madness onto the back of a truck with some other gear to make a giant paintball art project in one messy go.
The video attached here is nothing but a commercial for the drink, in reality, even though it doesn't show the energy drink. You do see the Starts with V slogan though. This contraption is a giant paintball cannon on wheels. The works is mounted on the back of a truck and when the operator pushes a button, all the paint balls fly out at one time.
The truck is parked very close to a wall and when it pulls away, you see the paintball portrait of a yellow man that looks very pixel art falling from the top of a building. That yellow character reminds me more than a little of SpongeBob SquarePants. If someone tired this in real life, they would end up in the company of some nice Homeland Security agents.

This colonial era burial ground is in the woods just by the Arthur Kill (river). Many of the names of founding families of Staten Island can be found on these headstones. You can see some of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy such as the newly fallen tree. Luckily this burial ground is on a hill and has survived all types of weather (and neglect) for more than 250 years. Today it is looked after by a local society.
Looks like a very nice place to take a long rest. Nice shot!


Like they have done such a bang up job of it. If it were a class teaching how to molest a teenager and arrest her mother for speaking out, stripsearch elderly grandmas, or identify an old west gun design on a purse, or conduct a cupcake threat assessment.

Again the whole issue is more business than sense!  However it is important that wild accusations are not allowed to be promoted as, for example, you wouldn’t want companies like a certain vitamin drink packed with sugar claiming it is healthy!  On the other hand we have all been lead to believe that heel striking when running is a viable biomechanical function we can do (if wearing shoes).  Science proves it?!
Biochemically we are set up to survive on a diverse and varied diet.  Biomechanically we are set up to be the most efficient movers on land whilst being able to adapt to many forms of movement.  Psychologically we are set up to make conscious decisions separate to our subconscious (instinctual) process.  Spiritually we are set up to connect to the universe’s energy and my belief here is that our alignment (standing on two bare feet) allows us to be a highly efficient tuning fork to connect us with life’s energy forces.
Now with every system there is a breaking point or in our case, a symptom threshold.  We might be masters at our ability in adapting to many environments however we have our limit and modern society is seeing this threshold a lot more than any other generation before.  Why?  Well you have heard it all before.  Dehydration, lack of nutritious food, lack of movement, chemical over load, EMF overload, ego and fatigue I would say are the main culprits in our society today.  Fatigue being the number one – none of us recover properly anymore and are so out of touch with our body’s rhythm.  So the outcome leaves us with either an acute or chronic injury or disease symptom.
Although the Vibram claims are benefits that can be achieved, it cannot on a body that does not know its true centre of balance.  This is what barefoot running demands (to run on your true centre of balance) and the majority of us have not only lost the skill to enable us a transition to minimalistic/barefoot running but also the posture and strength.  Minimalistic shoes will put added stress on the un-centred/off-balanced body and try to fire up a system that is not adapted to the forces associated in that style of running.  This is associated with acute injury.  Most people will suffer lower limb injuries.
I can say hand on heart that the modern human race, as a whole, has lost its ability to walk, run and sprint efficiently.
Injury sits so close with inefficiency and re-educating yourself in barefoot mechanics will see that you start to journey away from the symptom thresholds and this will allow you a much bigger buffer ground to play in.  Foot strength will be gained, posture will change, reaction times will get quicker as claims suggest, however to maintain efficiency and skill you will have to work at keeping mobility in all the joints and constantly train the skill of action it takes to be efficient in all types of movement.  Consistency is the name of the game.
Lack of energy, bad skin, frequent colds/flues, obesity at a biochemical level.  Stiffness, aches and pains, inefficient movement, common injuries, lack of energy and just damn hard work at a biomechanical level.  Fatigue, hesitation, fear, anxiety, frustrated, unloved, constantly unhappy, depression at a psychological level and spiritually well that has truly been kicked into touch through ego, materialism and quick fixes.


This is Part 1 of a 3 part series.  Part 1 talks about being injury prone.  Part 2 talks about expectations.  Part 3 are my top recommendations.
This post is dedicated to anyone over 40 35 trying to make a comeback in Masters Track, but it also applies to everyone of all ages who wants to begin Track and Field, or any sport for that matter!
I get a lot of email from readers asking for advice on making a comeback, especially the sprints.  However, the thought of a sedentary 50 year old male weighing 90kg (~200 lbs.) running a 400 meters or doing triple jump scares the heck out of me.
Since I like to ramble (and that’s what old guys like to do, by the way), here are some pointers and recommendations for your training plan.
The number one setback you will incur is injuries.  There are several books on injuries and how to prevent them, but I’ll try to summarize it here.
The most common reason for getting injured is the old cliché, and that is doing too much, too fast, too soon.
John Smith of HIS gave me 3 pointers (you can read my 2005 meeting here) and that is:
when you are tired (i.e overtraining)
when the mind wants to do something the body doesn’t want to do
My personal stance on injuries (and I’ve had a lot) stems from two reasons:
too much repetitive pounding, twisting or force on muscles, tendons and joints
when you are compensating for a weak muscle
An example of too much pounding and twisting are Achilles injuries, and I’ve had my fair share.  Having good ankle mobility and Achilles flexibility is one thing, but that cannot cure the high volume of pounding, twisting and force of sprinting.  Think carpal tunnel syndrome in your wrist for computer people, and imagine your Achilles has 200,000 miles on them, and you can’t change the shock absorbers.  You can ice, take Advil, and stretch all you want, but you’ll have to get those tendons stronger if you don’t want the soreness down the road.
It’s the same for shin splints.  If you run the 800 meters and up, and you doubled your mileage from 40 miles per week to 80, that’s like going from 120 mpw to 240 mpw for the Elite guys!  The body can only handle so much pounding.
As for compensating, Loren Seagrave once said, “Elite athletes are the best compensators in the world”.  Read the article Hamstring Injuries, the Iliopsoas and Imbalances and you’ll get the idea.
Now that I’ve depressed the hell out of you, I’ll talk next about prevention and hopefully cure.
Initially, I liked to think I was the inspiration for this write-up :) Then, I didn’t want to be (when you mentioned injuries haha) and after that, I realized I wasn’t 50, so I couldn’t be…
OK, a rambling 38-year old – I saw that scratching ’40’ right in the opening sentence… :)
Looking forward to more on this topic. And yes, your last line from Seagrave is SO true. They are the greatest compensators and, the most likely to accumulate a serious debt to ‘Mother Nature’ in the long run… I liked this simple and recent post from Keith Norris from Theory To Practice, which goes hand in hand with the subject you will be broaching (see: http://theorytopractice.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/chasing-performance-at-the-expense-of-health/).
Having spent the better of my life in chasing performance and thus, “area C” of the curve (and now paying for it; thought, wrongly, for way too long, that “performance” = “health”…), I really wish this had been made clearer by my coaches and in my studies of physio and exercise physiology. Oh, wait, my dad kept telling me to slow down… Does that count? Who listens to that advice anyways when young and overriden by feelings of indestructibility :)

"isk."
Apart from its bilateral aspect, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the UK was also significant in the context of Britain urging India to play a larger role in the Commonwealth (CW) and India's receptiveness to the idea.
The CW gets very little attention internationally and India too has neglected it in recent years, with the Indian prime minister absenting himself from the last few summits.
If other countries such as Japan and the US are seeking to build partnerships with India in Africa because of its positive image there and good understanding of Africa's developmental needs, the UK would also have reason to work more closely with India in Africa.
It has significant bilateral assistance programmes including in West African francophone countries, in areas such as education, health, IT, human resource development, capacity building using Indian expertise and so on.
Strong energy ties with African countries covering oil, natural gas as well as uranium have been built. The India-Africa Summit Forum in October 2015 gathered 51 leaders including 42 heads of state and government. Our total trade with Africa has reached $70 billion (Rs 464 thousand crore) and major expansion is possible because of rising economic graphs on both sides.
Many CW countries have large populations of Indian origin as a legacy of the British empire, of course. But India traditionally underplayed this community link with these countries. Today, India cultivates the diaspora assiduously for economic and cultural reasons. The annual Pravasi Bharatiya Divas testifies to the value we place on this connection.
With the "white" CW countries such as the UK, Canada or Australia the robust expansion of our ties has not needed the CW platform either. Indeed, the CW bond did not alleviate past difficulties with these countries over non-proliferation or human rights questions. It is because of India's economic rise and its growing international status that partnership with India has gained value in their eyes.
The argument that the absence of China from the CW gives India a congenial platform to gain more influence on the international stage, is thin. China has made major strides in Africa very rapidly, with its trade volume with it at $200 billion (Rs 13,28,000 crore) far surpassing that of India.
It has its own China-Africa Cooperation Forum. South Africa is China's largest economic partner, and it was China that pushed for South Africa's membership of BRICS. China is engaged in massive infrastructure projects in Africa; it is very active in the Pacific.
Its economic relationship with countries like Australia and Canada outclasses ours. If, however, the argument of shared values and democracy now gets play in our dialogue with the West it is because of China's aggressive rise, its repudiation of Western values and democracy and its offer of China's authoritarian and state-controlled political and economic governance follow.
India's bilateral cooperation with CW countries will not be hindered by our stepped-up role in the organisation; it can actually be supplemented. Our ambition to be a leading power can only be facilitated by leveraging diverse multilateral platforms. A large number of CWin the building of which we have played a leadership role.
Climate change issues are a common concern, and so are the mounting threats of religious radicalism and international terrorism. Thin because of anti-globalisation and protectionist trends.
The WTO's developmental agenda has been discarded; indeed, the WTO itself is being sought to be weakened as the cornerstone of international trade governance.
The CW consists of 30 small states that could benefit from the guidance and help India can provide in finding solutions to their problems in the area of clean energy, digital solutions, building trade capacity, broadband connectivity and so on. We are already giving lines of credit to 10 of these states.
Building cybersecurity capacity and help member statesby providing technical assistance have been identified as priorities. For India to play an enhanced role, its institutional position in the CW has to be upgraded, and it is expected it will.

Grug, the father, is having a difficult time relating to his teenage daughter, Eep. It's not so very different from today's struggles between fathers and daughters. There were laugh out loud moments, and also tender touching moments, topped off with some great action scenes.

I think that a complaint is a terrible thing to hear, but it is necessary to the well being of your company. It can be used as a tool to get things back on track or make things better for your customers in the future.
In my design business, I always tell my clients the best feedback we can get is “you nailed it!” But the second best feedback we can get is, “you totally missed the mark.” When we screw up, we get more information about how to do it right the next time. That’s invaluable to us.
Indeed, constructive feedback is what we want. It’s the secret to product/service development 🙂
When we get negative feedback, we tend to defend ourselves. Our ego often blur our motive. With that being said, a company which culture cherishes negative feedback will definitely find success!
The constructive complaint by a customer via social media could be turned around and the customer could become a new ambassador for the company.
One additional step that a company should take is to determine their Lifetime Customer Value (LCV). This will help guide them on how and when to resolve a customer complaint so that the resolution is Win/Win.
Agreed but hard to figure out Life time value these days with so much social sharing going on!

to Greater Manchester. So if I’m annoyed about the lack of ambition and meagre amounts of money pledged when other areas think we’ve done alright, colleagues from elsewhere in the north must be positively furious!
I began this blog by welcoming the industrial strategy, and I do. Despite its shortcomings it is, after all, more than anything else we’ve had for a long time. Though my message to the government is – don’t do things by halves. This is a good start, but if this is it the ‘Industrial Strategy’ and ‘Northern Powerhouse’ will be things that will exist in name only.
Where I disagree with Corbyn is on what should be done about it. I am, and continue to be, against a hard cap on earnings. It’s a crude and blunt instrument, the financial equivalent of performing heart surgery with a sledgehammer. It also runs the risk of incentivising behaviour such as hiding pay through share options and payments-in-kind.
So if I think something needs to be done but I’m against a hard cap, then where does that leave me?
Inequality is not inevitable, but it will take serious action to turn around a ship that has been allowed to get out of control for far too long. The fightback must start here. A fair society is a stronger society, and I will do everything in my power in Tameside Council and in the Greater Manchester Pension Fund to make it happen.
Something that struck me when arriving in the compound was just how large a site the former TAC occupied. Built in 1981 to replace a range of offices across the Borough, TAC brought together Tameside Council staff and facilities under one roof. By the end however the building was half empty and costing more to keep open then was either justifiable to local taxpayers or affordable in the age of austerity. Whilst TAC was an innovative idea and facility when constructed, the 1980s specifications it was built to were unsuitable for the 21st century, and architecturally it’s unclear whether the design was ever consistent with any fashions.
When we commissioned the new building we were determined that we wouldn’t repeat previous mistakes. The new public service centre currently under construction will meet the highest energy efficiency criteria possible and cost significantly less that the £1.7 million per year that TAC cost to run. It will be shared with Tameside College and house their advanced skills centre, further reducing the costs to local taxpayers whilst a first class setting. There will be space for Wilko to return to the site from their temporary home in the Arcades and the historic stone façade, behind which the Co-operative Bank and the Cheshire Building Society were housed, will be retained.
At the time of my visit in December only one staircase had been constructed. Having been in Ashton this lunch time significant progress has been made since. It’s clear that 2017 will be where the building will really begin to take shape and residents will see major changes even from outside the site barriers.
Whilst the signing ceremony itself was a major milestone in the beginning of construction work, the more significant milestone will be the completion. The regeneration of Ashton Town Centre and wider Tameside that this project has kick-started is more significant than anything else since the formation of the Borough in 1974. Jobs have been, and continue to be, created as ‘Vision Tameside’ progresses, and the local economy has been boosted by the money these workers spend locally and the increased footfall in to the town centre.
As I look back at the Council reports that were considered to agree the construction of this building I recall one of the reasons listed as making TAC’s replacement necessary was its £2 million maintenance backlog. Whilst I could spend time wondering how and why it was allowed to get to that point I am more minded to think that we were fortunate not to have spent that money keeping up to date with the maintenance of a building that had not been fit for purpose for some time.
I usually try to avoid so stark an opening in my blogs, but in this case I think the severity of the situation justifies it.
How on Earth did it come to this? The sad fact is that for many the stigma against being open and honest about mental health remains strong. Far too often people who (quite rightly) would go straight to the doctor if they broke their leg would never do the same thing if they felt depressed or anxious. At the same time the rapid changes in the society we live in, particularly globalisation and the rise of social media, have created stresses and strains on our mental health that governments and health services are only just beginning to understand. While progress is being made in both these areas, there’s still a way to go.
And as always when I talk about issues like this, we can’t ignore the impact of austerity. Although it can be definitely argued that mental health has been historically underfunded, the last half a decade of cuts have undermined improvements to mental health services at a time where it has never been so vital to make them. The Prime Minister may have announced this week that her government will make mental health a priority, but at the same time national newspapers were reporting that hospitals were u to plug gaping holes in their

Inspirée de la Convention de Philadelphie qui mène à l'adoption de la Constitution des États-Unis, elle est chargée, en 2002, d'engager un débat sur l'avenir de l'Union européenne, dans la perspective d'une convocation d'une conférence intergouvernementale. Elle aboutit, en juin , à un projet de Constitution européenne qui est repris, pour l'essentiel, lors de la signature du traité de Rome de 2004.

À l'occasion de ces rencontres avec le président italien Carlo Azeglio Ciampi et le président du Conseil Silvio Berlusconi, Giscard d'Estaing a « rendu hommage à la contribution décisive des membres italiens de la Convention, au vice-président Amato, au représentant du Gouvernement italien Gianfranco Fini, au représentant du Sénat italien Lamberto Dini et au représentant de la Chambre des députés italienne Marco Follini, ainsi qu'à leurs suppléants ». Giscard d'Estaing a alors appelé la Présidence italienne à conduire la Conférence intergouvernementale « au plus haut niveau politique, de manière à la conclure sous Présidence italienne, en décembre 2003 ». Ainsi, après le traité de Rome, la Constitution de Rome verrait le jour dans la capitale italienne. « L'apport de l'Italie en tant que pays fondateur de l'Union européenne aura été décisif.

. Disputes up to $10,000 may be resolved solely on the parties' written submissions without any need to appear in person before an arbitrator. The fees for cases administered without a oral hearing, a simplified arbitration, begin as low as $30 for cases under $1,000, and increase to $150 for cases between $5,000 and $10,000. The procedures for cases involving claims over $10,000 are more complex, requiring oral hearings and sometimes prehearing conferences. The fees for complicated cases can reach several thousand dollars for claims over $5,000,000. At times, arbitrators order that some or all of the fees be refunded to a party, but that does not always happen.
Investors who pursue private actions in arbitration or court also are encouraged to file a complaint with the SEC or an SRO. These complaints help the regulators fulfill their own responsibilities. For example, the regulators may be able to take action to prevent other investors from being injured the same way. Unless formal public action is taken, the SEC cannot give investors information about an investigation. Moreover, even if an investor receives an award in arbitration, this does not necessarily mean that regulatory action is also taken. Similarly, action taken by regulators against an individual or firm does not necessarily mean that arbitrators will make an award in an investor's favor.Decorative Tiles, Floor Tiles, Outdoor Tiles, Pavers, Tile & Paving Accessories, Tile coatings & sealants, Tiles, Wall TileWhat is permeable paving and what are the benefits in Australia? </s> Santa Clara, CA – April 24, 2014 – Expertus announced today that it was the one and only LMS company named to TrainingIndustry.com’s 2014 “Top 20 Training Outsourcing Companies” list.
