the Stretch
IRA Strategy
Preserving Assets for Your Heirs
If you don't need the assets in your individual retirement account (IRA) to meet your retirement living expenses, you may want to consider preserving as much of the account as possible for future generations. Through a "stretch" strategy, your beneficiaries have the opportunity to benefit from many years of continued tax-deferred growth potential in what is called an Inherited IRA. Over time, a modest IRA inheritance could become a significant supplementary source of income for your beneficiaries. Notes Christine Fahlund, CFP®, a senior financial planner with T. Rowe Price, "If the IRA is a Roth, the benefits of stretching are even greater for your heirs because distributions from Roth IRAs generally are income tax free, while those from Traditional IRAs typically are taxed as ordinary income."
The RMD Factor
The beneficiary of either a Traditional or Roth IRA may liquidate the entire account as a lump sum or begin taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) each year from the Inherited IRA beginning in the year following the owner's death. In the latter case, the annual RMD amount usually is based on the beneficiary's life expectancy (according to IRS Life Expectancy tables). The younger the beneficiary, the smaller the initial RMD will be as a percentage of each prior year-end Inherited IRA balance.
As an example, when calculated based on the life expectancy of the beneficiary, RMD amounts are calculated as follows: In the calendar year following the year in which the owner dies, the first beneficiary should consult the applicable IRS Life Expectancy table (available at irs.gov) and identify the factor that corresponds with the age he or she will turn that year. The beneficiary then takes the balance of the Inherited IRA as of December 31 of the prior calendar year and divides the dollar amount by the factor from the IRS table. The result is the minimum amount that beneficiary is required to withdraw from the Inherited IRA by December 31 of that year. (He or she always can withdraw more.) For subsequent years, the beneficiary should repeat the RMD calculation using the original life expectancy factor minus one each year. (There is no need to go to the table for a new factor.) Any beneficiaries of the Inherited IRA after the first should continue to use the RMD calculation factor determined by the first IRA beneficiary for their own annual RMDs—again subtracting one from that factor for each year thereafter.
Surviving spouses older than age 59½ typically choose to roll over the assets in the deceased's IRA into an IRA in their own name. This gives them full control of the assets and allows them to delay withdrawals until their own RMDs must begin when they attain age 70½. Note that surviving spouses who become owners of Traditional IRAs are subject to the RMD rules, while those who become owners of Roth IRAs are not required to take RMDs. No matter what type of IRA the surviving spouse chooses, he or she can name beneficiaries for the assets in the new account. Keep in mind that there may be RMD obligations for the decedent if the individual was age 70½ or older.
Maintaining assets in an Inherited IRA instead of an IRA of their own may be more appropriate for spouses in some instances. Two examples include:
- If the surviving spouse is younger than age 59½ and needs to take distributions to meet current living expenses, the withdrawals taken from an Inherited IRA will not be subject to the 10% federal early withdrawal tax penalty.
- A surviving spouse who is significantly older than the original account owner and doesn't need income can delay taking distributions from an Inherited IRA until December 31 of the year the deceased would have turned age 70½.
Under these circumstances, the surviving spouse could designate beneficiaries for the Inherited IRA, and those individuals could continue to keep the assets invested tax-deferred (or tax-free for Roth IRAs) after the spouse's death.NON-SPOUSAL BENEFICIARIES
As with spousal beneficiaries, non-spousal beneficiaries can take distributions from an Inherited IRA before age 59½ without incurring the 10% federal early-withdrawal tax penalty. They also can designate their own beneficiaries for the Inherited IRA.
In the case of a nonindividual beneficiary—an estate or a charity, for example—the rules are complicated. Take special care if you leave an IRA account to both individuals and organizations. "The transfers at your death must be handled carefully," says Fahlund. "Otherwise individuals may be precluded from stretching out their portion of the assets." Furthermore, IRS rules can be particularly complex when trusts are involved as beneficiaries. Consult your estate planning attorney or a tax advisor to determine appropriate actions to take now to maximize the inheritance of these assets for your beneficiaries.LEAVING A LEGACY FOR YOUR HEIRS
Your heirs may be unfamiliar with rules governing Inherited IRAs, so it is best to discuss your stretch strategy goals with them early on. With a clear understanding of the process, beneficiaries can take the proper steps to receive the greatest benefit from the account. Explains Fahlund, "Over time, the stretch strategy could result in a significant legacy for your heirs if they choose to take advantage of it—and it can be especially rewarding to know that your children or grandchildren can benefit from sizeable savings over time as a result of your generosity."A Gift for Generations
The potential benefits of additional years of tax-deferred compounding in an Inherited IRA are significant. Below is an example of stretching a $100,000 Traditional IRA out across three generations. RMDs only are taken from the account, generating more than $256,000 for the first beneficiary over a 30-year period and more than $178,000 for the beneficiary's heir over a seven-year period before being fully depleted.
Jack, 70, had a balance of $100,000 in his Traditional IRA on Dec. 31 of 2011. He died in 2012, having already taken his RMD for that year.
Jack's daughter, Jamie, inherits the IRA at age 45 and chooses to maintain it as an Inherited IRA. She takes her first RMD in 2013.
When she passes away at age 75, her son, Jordon, inherits the IRA at age 49. He begins his RMDs in 2043, depleting the account fully in 2049.*
*This hypothetical example is based on current tax laws. Any changes to tax laws applicable to required minimum distributions (RMDs) could alter the depiction.
**Jamie is a first, non-spousal beneficiary and must begin taking RMDs (using her own life expectancy factor and subtracting by one for each subsequent year), at age 46 in 2013, the year following her father's death.
*** Jordan is a non-spousal heir of the first beneficiary and must begin taking RMDs (continuing to use his mother's—the first beneficiary of the Inherited IRA—RMD calculation factors) at age 50 in 2043, the year following his mother's death.

The dollar amounts shown do not represent current value purchasing power due to the effect of annual and cumulative inflation. RMD calculations and related discussion regarding RMD rules are based on current tax laws, including special rules for Inherited IRAs, and are subject to change.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Just joined this site, and was hoping someone might be able to help me identify the typeface used in this logo. The design was created in 1953 for the Mutual Security Agency, then part of the US State Department. The logo was then adopted by MSA's successor organization: the US Agency for International Development.
I'm also very interested in identifying what "school of art" the overall design could be tied to. I'm not an art historian, but I'd love to get one to weigh in.
Thanks very much!
- John
Taken from this website: USAID Graphic Standards Manual
Are you sure the type wasn't added/replaced well after 1953?
In any case, you should use the Edit link to move the thread up to the main Type ID Board.
I'm pretty sure this image is representative of the original logo. Here is a photo of an original logo on a sticker that appears to have been approved on December 1st, 1956.
As you can see, at least M is pretty different to your first sample.
I'm not an expert, but hopefully someone else will chime in with suggestions about sans in wide use in the fifties in USA.
Very good catch on that M! Thank you, and hopefully someone will be able to nail down the identity of this typeface.
The generally poor condition of the sample, especially the crease through the leg of the R, makes things tough, but this is probably closer overall...
I think you're onto something with Futura for the old sticker. Do you have a guess on the typeface used in the hi-res image from the AID website?
I see Univers in the first image.

In this video Rich Wolski, Professor in the Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara and co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Eucalyptus Systems Inc., presents: Eucalyptus — Elastic Utility Computing Architecture for Linking Your Programs to Useful Systems.
Eucalyptus is an open source software infrastructure that implements IaaS-style cloud computing. The goal of Eucalyptus is to allow sites with existing clusters and server infrastructure to host a cloud that is interface-compatible with Amazon's AWS and (soon) the Sun Cloud open API. In addition, through its interfaces, Eucalyptus is able to host cloud platform services such as AppScale (an open source implementation of Google's AppEngine), and Hadoop making it possible the "mix and match" different service paradigms and configurations within the cloud. Finally, Eucalyptus is capable of leveraging a heterogeneous collection of virtualization technologies within a single cloud making it possible to incorporate resources that have already been virtualized without modifying their configuration. The talk focuses on specific features of the system that are designed to enable rapid development, prototyping, and deployment of local computing clouds, particularly for debugging and/or application development purposes. It also discusses experiences with hosting the Eucalyptus Public Cloud (EPC) as a free public cloud platform for experimental use and the ability to use the EPC in conjunction with commercial web development services that target AWS, such as Rightscale. Finally, Wolski discusses his experiences in building and supporting open source cloud infrastructure and point to potential future directions that we believe will enable greater innovation.

Blue Jackets beat Red Wings, York gets first NHL win
Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - R.J. Umberger notched a goal and one assist as Columbus claimed a 4-2 victory over Detroit in the back end of a home-and-home set from Nationwide Arena.
Derek Dorsett, Vinny Prospal and Derick Brassard also lit the lamp for the Blue Jackets, who suffered a 7-2 defeat at Joe Louis Arena on Monday.
Making his first start since October 29, Allen York made 29 saves, 17 in the third period alone, for his first NHL victory.
"It was awesome. The boys played unreal," said York. "All three periods they were great. I was having a real good practice and just tried to keep it going from there. I tried to treat it like a normal game day, but couldn't take my usual pre-game nap. You just try to stay patient, stay on your feet."
Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall scored for the Red Wings, whose two-game win streak was halted.
Ty Conklin allowed four goals on 31 shots in the loss.
It was 3-1 for the Jackets with 5 1/2 minutes left in the second, as Brassard was sprung by a Nikita Nikitin pass and scored inside the left post, and less than 90 seconds later, Umberger finished off a 2-on-1 with Cam Atkinson by beating Conklin from the left wing.
Kronwall got the Wings within two on the man-advantage at 9:34 of the final period, but that was all York allowed.
He was then the beneficiary of a quick whistle when a Nicklas Lidstrom shot trickled through him and into the crease inside of four minutes remaining.
Conklin was pulled for an extra attacker with more than two minutes remaining, and York had to pull off some acrobatics to keep away several Detroit chances from there.
"It was just a poor effort on our part. Give them credit for coming back tonight after being embarrassed on Monday," said Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock. "We weren't prepared to play today. We didn't compete. They had a kid that hadn't won a game yet and we could have taken it to him early and we didn't."
Prospal gave the hosts the lead at 6:26 of the first period, swatting his own rebound home from the right side.
Dorsett doubled the advantage with 5:43 left, when he finished off a 2-on-0 break on Conklin with a backhander.
Zetterberg tallied just over two minutes later while the visitors were up a man, banking in a low shot off a Columbus defender near the crease.
Game Notes
The Red Wings took four of six in the season series, but the Blue Jackets won two of three on home ice...Prior to the game, the Jackets signed former University of Michigan goaltender Shawn Hunwick to an amateur tryout contract to serve as backup to York, and also inked forward Boone Jenner to a three- year, entry-level contract...Starter Steve Mason suffered an upper-body injury in practice and is listed as day-to-day.

Q&A time http://formspring.me/mitchg
y/n? (see at http://www.imgspark.com/image/listing/MGOLDSTEIN/) the reason I've stopped posting random interesting pictures to here is because I've begun posting them elsewhere. Do you want them back?
I don't believe I've ever been one to do either of the two. I hate gossip just as much as anyone else and I try and avoid false information (aka lies?) at all costs. Feel free to try and call me out on these I'd love to know what you're referring to so I can stand to correct them as soon as possible.

Today is Nov. 11, Veterans Day, a day on which we honor and celebrate those who served our nation.
It is also the anniversary of one of the deadliest winter storms Minnesota has ever seen. It was the Armistice Day blizzard of 1940. It killed 150 people nationwide, including 49 in Minnesota.
Essentially what happened was the day began with sunshine and unseasonably warm temperatures and turned into a hurricane-force blizzard that trapped under-dressed hunters in tiny duck boats.
About half those who died in Minnesota were duck hunters (mostly in southeastern Minnesota), who went to sloughs, rivers and lakes on a wonderful, "bluebird" morning and ended up being trapped when the storm dropped more than a foot-and-a-half of snow on the region.
The storm changed the way the National Weather Service did its work, because Minnesotans were given almost no advance warning of the storm. In fact, the NWS office in Chicago (which issued forecasts for Minnesota at the time) was closed the day of the storm.
Here is some great information on the storm from various sources.
Minnesota Public Radio did a nice piece in 2000, the 60th anniversary of the storm.
It is great stuff, with eyewitness accounts from a couple of survivors.
Here is the audio file of the story, which is really well done:
The Minnesota State Historical Society put together this video and posted it on YouTube. It's a little dry (hey, it's history!), but it is very informative.

How much of a crapshoot is it though when you are 0-9 in series clinching games ?
Beane does a great job is keeping Oakland competitive despite losing the likes of Giambi, Tejada, Dye, Damon and others. The A's though have never been built for the post season when it comes down to pitching, pitching and bullpen. Same thing with the Red Sox last year. Theo who uses the book basically as his bible built a team that most years would have gotten into the World Series except for one thing. He had no closer.

Minneapolis, Minn. - The Nebraska men's tennis team (9-7, 1-1 Big Ten) fell to the Minnesota Golden Gophers (8-7, 2-1 Big Ten) by score of 5-2 on Sunday. The Huskers gave away the doubles point early on and couldn't make up the deficit in singles with the match ending in a victory for Minnesota.
In doubles, Minnesota grabbed the point at the No. 1 and 2 positions when No. 16-ranked Mathieu Froment and Jack Hamburg ousted NU's Brandon Videtich and Bradford Zitsch 8-7 (6) while fellow Gophers Leandro Toledo and Eric Frueh toppled Nebraska's Marc Herrmann and Beau Treyz 8-2, respectively.
UM led the match 1-0 going into singles where they grabbed four of the six matches to defeat the Huskers. Minnesota's Ruben Weber defeated Nebraska's Tom Blackwell 6-1, 7-5 at the No. 2 while fellow Gopher Hamburg rolled past NU's Herrmann 7-5, 6-1 at the No. 3 spot. Minnesota's Froment knocked off the Big Red's Andrew Dzulynsky 6-2, 6-4 at the No. 4 while teammate Juan Pablo Ramirez outlasted the Huskers' Zitsch 7-6 (2), 6-3.
Nebraska earned their two points at the No. 1 and No. 6 courts where Dusty Boyer defeated No. 72-ranked Leandro Toledo 6-7 (2), 6-3, 1-0 (4) while Husker teammate Vasileios Stavropoulos outpaced UM's Frueh 7-6 (7), 6-4.
Next up for the Huskers is a road trip to Michigan to face Michigan State in East Lansing on Friday, March 28 at 3 p.m. before moving on to Ann Arbor to face Michigan on Sunday, March 30 at noon.

By looking at the purchasing patterns of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we can usually get a pretty good indication of what to expect for the rest of the holidays.
Matt McGee wrote an article telling us that we should expect good things this 2010 holiday season. He mentions Kenshoo's results from their first Online Holiday Shopping Report. Kenshoo is a digital marketing software provider, used by five out of the top 10 US retailers. This is what was reported:
"Overall, for the 26-day period ending with Cyber Monday, 2010 search advertising budgets were up 31% compared to 2009. Total online sales transactions increased 83% during this time, resulting in 60% more online sale revenue for retailers."
This is exciting news for all of us, right?! So, why am I still feeling like we're not living up to our full potential?
Back in 2007, I wrote The Battle Between Search Engine Optimization and Conversion that talks about investing in driving more organic traffic and addresses the fears many companies have that this will lead to less visitors and lower search engine rankings. These days, people are focusing a little less time on SEO and more time and budget on PPC, social media and other marketing efforts with the goal of driving more traffic.
My point from 2007 still is relevant today, just in a slightly different context. Ultimately, you WILL increase sales and revenue by simply driving more targeted traffic. The good news about investing in PPC, social media and some other marketing channels is that you can drive highly-targeted traffic to your site. If done intelligently, you can say with reasonable certainty that these visitors want what you have to offer. Still, I believe we are not getting the results we could be achieving: conversion rates are still low. And the Kenshoo report belies the fact that we are still more focused on increasing traffic than we are on increasing conversion, even though increases in sales and ROI are much more robust if you focus on the latter. Just check out the chart in MjB's recent post to see a comparison.
Spending money on driving highly targeted traffic to your site, is a great idea. But if you haven't optimized your site so that you effectively persuade the traffic to take action or move forward in their buying process, then you are just driving visitors into a leaky funnel, leaving the money they should be spending on the table, and not maximizing the return on the dollars you invested to get them there in the first place. Furthermore, that bad experience has lasting effects on your visitors: I doubt they will ever come back again.
So, here's my gift to you this holiday season: Optimize these high impact elements on your site to persuade even a few more visitors to take action, collect more money from your visitors, and drive your cost per click down:
Suzanne Wells also has some good eBay-specific tips she posted on Stamps.com. When you do make changes to your site, only change and test one or two elements at any one time so that you know which improvements were responsible for the results and are able to quantify the impact those changes made.
Are you currently investing in more than one marketing effort at a time? Do you have a marketing team and resources that can implement changes and tests on your site? You may be the perfect fit for our subscription website optimization service.
We can help you make more money online this holiday season by identifying the reasons your visitors aren't converting, and giving you a prioritized to-do list detailing what to fix/test on your site. Our client success stories prove it's worth the investment.
I totally agree with that.
Organic traffic must increase for long term success!
Solid points you have here. PPC, social media and the likes may bring in the needed traffic but optimization is significant. Your bullet points explains what should be done.
Diggin the rich media integration on grok, nice play. As for big bucks, we already missed out on one of the sickest cyber mondays in recent memory. Google changed their algo to shift toward trusted domains, so play with what's on the table for now…
Great points you've made here. I've recently been working on updating the landing pages on several sites, cleaning up basically… more white space, more content, easier navigation is key in my book! Oh… and "relevant", useful content is always a must.
CRO is really tricky, but all I'm really sticking with is the principle of implying "trust" when it comes to optimizing important pages (or basically signaling visitors that my site is trustworthy). I do think that this is the best season to reevaluate landing pages to improve conversions, knowing that a lot of search is happening in this time of the year.
You all have had several posts about not forgetting about conversion. Point definitely taken. And its definitely a lot of work to think the whole process through. And it takes time to watch visitor behavior, but you're right this is where the big bucks are.
I'm wondering if you have a feel for when a good time to cut off the ppc investment for xmas gift conversions.
I'm getting the feeling right now Dec 14, that it's just happened.
Shawn- I wouldn't speak so soon. I launched several black friday and cyber monday sites that saw serious gains right up until midnight and even the day after. Christmas gift conversions will continue strong into last december….
Organic traffic is the way to go! When you have more visitors more of them will convert into buyers
Google changed their algo to shift toward trusted domains, so play with what's on the table for now…
Organic traffic? I am not so sure about that…
"Furthermore, that bad experience has lasting effects on your visitors: I doubt they will ever come back again.
" – so true. I saw so many times that traffic to not optimized sites or sites that do not know how to sell (in the bottom line..) is a wasted traffic.
Great post, thanks. Reassurances are so important. Using a secure payment system like PayPal can help with that.
More white space, and more content and easy navigation key in my book! Oh … And "relevant", and useful content is always a must
Organic Traffic,,,? Maybe yes…
I think that the PPC as well as the SEO work is important. Search engines seem to pick up different information. So by using the PPC and directing the exact traffic you are looking for, while the SEO generates traffic that people stumble across.
"we are still more focused on increasing traffic than we are on increasing conversion, even though increases in sales and ROI are much more robust if you focus on the latter" – That is so true…and yet so hard to accept.

Magnetron Sputtered Zn₂SiO₄ and Y₂O₃-SiO₂ Thin Film Phosphors for Cathodoluminescent and Electroluminescent Displays
Date of Award
Degree Type
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Materials Engineering
Dr. A.H. Kitai
The cathodoluminescence of various thin films deposited on (111)Si substrates was systematically studied for the first time. The best dopants for red, green and blue (RGB) phosphor films are Eu, Tb and Ce, respectively. A program was developed for the calculation of chromaticity coordinates from the luminescent spectra. High luminescence can only be achieved by post-annealing thin films above 900°C for yttrium silicates or above 850°C for zinc silicates. The band-gaps of the thin films were measured by UV absorption spectroscopy.
Rare earth (Ce³⁺, Pr³⁺, Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, Gd³⁺, Tb³⁺, E³⁺) doped Y₂SiO₅, Y₂Si₂O₇, Y₄.₆₇(SiO₄)₃O and Mn²⁺ doped Zn₂SiO₄ thin films were prepared by magnetron sputtering. Their compositions were studied by Rutherford backscattering and X-ray diffraction. Sputtering parameters such as magnetic field, pressure, target-substrate distance and substrate temperature were studied. The chromaticity coordinates and brightness of thin film phosphors were compared with their powder counterparts. These films show potential for practical applications.
Electroluminescence was found only in Zn₂SiO₄:Mn²⁺ and Y₂SiO₅:Ce³⁺ thin film phosphors. The devices of ITO/Zn₂SiO₄:Mn²⁺ (or Y₂SiO₅:Ce³⁺)/BaTiO₃/Al and multi-insulated phosphor thin films were prepared and their electroluminescent (EL) response under different voltages, frequencies and pulse widths, and their decay curves and transferred charges were studied. With the same chromaticity coordinates as Sylvania powder CL samples, Zn₂SiO₄:Mn²⁺ (2% mole) thin films are shown to have very good EL performance with a brightness as high as 80 foot lambents (fL) excited by 400 Hz a.c. pulses, with a short decay time of 0.6 ms and with an efficiency of 0.78 lumin/watt.

Pupaseria La Macarena
- l
- lawstudent Apr 9, 2009 06:57 PM
The new one on Hampson St. Has anyone tried it yet? I've been wanting to try the latin style brunch but have not heard anything about the place.
Yep. Been probably 5 times since they opened. Haven't done the brunch yet, but the pupusas and everything else have all been really good. Cash only, but they have an atm inside. It's great to be able to get pupusas without going to the westbank, metry, or Kenner. I love those things! If I could only get them to start serving Chan Tea all will be right with the world.
I found the food to be good. I had the home roasted turkey sandwich.
It was about po boy size, but I swear to you it had around 3 oz of turkey on it.
Very skimpy. I think it was about $12.
The plantains are frozen & well not the worst, certainly not the best.
All in all, I thought the food was just good, and I left hungry. And paid too much for what I rec'd. I really wish these folks well, but it just didn't do it for me.
A friend went this week & basically told me the same thing I just told you & said she would not be going back.
I have the same issues as the other two posters. This place is right around the corner from my house, and I try to patronize a neighborhood place at least one night a week. I really WANTED to like this place. I came in one night and ordered plantains and pupusas for takeout. The staff were very gracious and courteous, and they gave me a free drink while I waited. But when I got home, I found that there really wasn't much food for what I paid. I mean, I didn't want to be stuffed, but to my thinking, an appetizer/side and an entree shouldn't leave me still hungry for a salad or some fruit afterwards. I'll go again, but my hopes are not very high.
One thought--this might be the kind of place that is more fun if you bring a few friends and all share a bunch of small plates and entrees.
re: uptownlibrarian
We went there when it first opened - I guess almost 2 years ago. We thought it was awful, and I don't recall them having pupusas on the menu. Perhaps they've added them in the time since they opened? I'll have to give them another shot. I'm always looking out for pupusas. Thanks for the heads-up.
I can't believe no one likes this place. I have been a couple of times in the past month or so and I love it. The enchiladas (which are actually tostadas) are really tasty, along with the pupusas. It all seemed fresh and in good portions to me.
I do think 14 bucks for one pupusa, on enchilada/tostada, beans, and plantains is a bit much, but I was definitely full.
re: lawstudent
Wait... who didn't like it? Also, where you in school? I'm at Loyola, fyi.
re: N.O.Food
It seemed like the above people like it a little but didn't think it was worth returning.
I am no longer a law student, actually. I graduated in May from Tulane.
Fantastic food! Tasty pupusas and the Carne Asada is delicious...always cooked perfectly. it might be a bit pricey for what it is, but I don't mind paying for good food and good service. BYOB helps keep their costs down though, and the casual dining experience there is a good one. Clean place, too.
re: jolieblonde
We just ate brunch there, and the huevos rancheros were delicious - very fresh ingredients, nice presentation - there were two, served with black beans, 2 slices french bread, some plantains, chorizo and avocado. My BF had 3 pupusas with slaw, and the pupusas were delicious - the bill was a little over $20 without drinks. The restaurant is small but very clean and colorful, and the wait was minimal.
There is a lunch special menu, and the dinner menu items averaged $15 - we'll definitely be going back.

Why did you use #10 Romex on a gas furnace?
They probably spent more time hacking in the heil than if they had used a curb adapter with the proper unit. At least they used a trap. :D
The tubing looks subperb. I assume the electrical wasn't completed at the time the photo was taken?
Still making executive decisions? :D
How long was it plumbed like that?
I hated to see Texas lose, but it allowed Alabama to move up to #1. ROLL TIDE!
I'm glad we don't have oil around here. In the last two years I only saw two oil furnaces......Both of which we replaced.....One conversion to a heat pump and the other to nat. gas. :)
+1. Lieberts and APC's are very common due to the whole high humidity factor.
What brand of coil are you using? I see the homeowners have a generac emergency generator. :D
If the insurance company totals the van, what do you think you will replace it with?
were they being SERIOUS when they asked for a tuneup?:eek:
That's a good looking truck! I think it's a much better choice than a Dodge Sprinter. Much better looking too!:D
Is it just me, or does it appear as if the drain is running up hill next to the air handler itself? Or is the air handler sloping toward the house?
You're probably right. I have seen Carrier, Bryant, LG, White-Westinghouse to name a few for sale in shopping malls and stores open to the public for anyone purchase and install.

Don Adams
Don Adams (April 13, 1923 – September 25, 2005) was an American actor, comedian and director. In his five decades on television, he was best known as Maxwell Smart (Agent 86) in the television situation comedy Get Smart (1965–1970, 1995), which he also sometimes directed and wrote. Adams won three consecutive Emmy Awards for his portrayal of Smart (1967–1969). He provided the voices for the animated series Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales (1963–1966) and Inspector Gadget (1983–1986) as their title characters. He voiced Sid Pickles in all episodes of Spike & Mike (1993–1999), and two follow up films, Spike & Mike Movie and Spike and Mike: Got Hostaged.
Adams was born Donald James Yarmy in Manhattan, son of William Yarmy and his wife Consuelo Dieter. His father, a restaurant manager, was Hungarian and Jewish and his mother was Irish and Roman Catholic. Adams and his brother (actor Dick Yarmy) were each raised in the religion of one parent: Don in the Catholic faith of their mother, and Dick in the Jewish faith of their father.
Dropping out of New York City's DeWitt Clinton High School, Adams worked as a theater usher. He enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 1941 together with

My buddy own one but in 243. Very accurate rifle. I'm sure yours will be too. There are tons of load for the 308. For yote, you probably well served with 110 grain Hornady V-Max and case full of either Varget or Reloader 15. For deer or pig, a premium 150 grain bullet is all you need.

Call it Black Friday creep.
The doorbuster sales that traditionally mark the beginning of the busiest shopping season of the year just keep getting earlier and earlier.
Many retailers aren't even waiting until Black Friday this time to open their doors for Black Friday sales.
Gander Mountain, for example, will be open from 9 a.m. to midnight today. And Kmart will open even earlier--6 a.m.--for what it calls Thursday doorbusters. It will then close at 4 p.m. and reopen four hours later for its "official" Black Friday sales.
Likewise, the Old Navy store in Central Park will offer special sales from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. today, then reopen at midnight for Black Friday.
Major retailers Sears and Toys R Us also will open their doors at 8 p.m. today, and Walmart will kick off the first of a wave of Black Friday deals at that time. That's an hour earlier than last year.
With two exceptions, all the merchants at Spotsylvania Towne Centre will be opening at midnight. While Sears is opting for an early opening, JCPenney will wait until 6 a.m. Friday to let its sales begin. Last year only a handful of stores at the mall were open at midnight.
Retailers are counting on having shoppers clear away the turkey and pumpkin pie so they can snap up Black Friday bargains today. But cash registers are likely to be ringing just as much or more on Black Friday--if an informal poll on fredericksburg .com is any indication.
Of the 282 viewers who voted, 223, or nearly 80 percent, said that they planned to shop early on Black Friday. Midnight got the next-highest total, 34 votes, or 12 percent, followed 14 people, or nearly 5 percent, who said they planned to shop after Thanksgiving dinner.
Early on Thanksgiving Day trailed the pack with nearly 4 percent, or 11 votes.
Retail giant Walmart has taken note of when shoppers say they prefer to shop for Black Friday sales, and has taken a different approach this year.
In addition to the 8 p.m. doorbuster specials, which will include toys, video games and household items, there will be another at 10 that will focus on electronics. The third round of sales won't start until 6 a.m. on Black Friday itself. It will include jewelry, tires and tools.
Here are the times when a number of major retailers will hold their Black Friday sales:
Toys R Us: The first 200 customers in line at each store when it opens at 8 p.m. on
Walmart: The retailer will kick off in-store specials at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day and another round at 10 p.m. It will kick off a weekend of additional sales starting at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.
Target: The stores will open
Spotsylvania Towne Centre and The Village at Towne Centre: The Star Radio Group will hand out hot chocolate and popcorn at The Village at Towne Centre beginning at
Old Navy: It will offer special sales from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. today, then reopen at midnight for Black Friday.
h.h. gregg: It will open
Kohl's: It will open at midnight.
Home Depot: It will open
Lowe's: It will open at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.
World Market: It will open

What to Do When You're Pregnant and Your Boss Doesn't Get It
Career advice from a former VP who didn't get it, until I had kids of my own
I know all about this, but probably not in the way you think. Yes I've had three kids in the last five years, but for the first time in my adult life, I've been out of the corporate environment; I've been a consultant working from a fairly cushy home office in Italy, and now North Carolina. No boss to deal with at all. What I know about lame bosses during pregnancy—"Wait, you have another appointment again tomorrow?"—is actually from the other side of the desk. I was the clueless one.
As a young and ambitious VP of a big media company, it's not that I was ever unsupportive. I certainly didn't think poorly of my pregnant team members, worry about their career prospects or begrudge them that maternity leave. It was more subtle than that. When a mom-to-be from my team would say she'd be out or she was tired, I'd say, "Okay, sure. Whatever you need to do." But in my head I'd basically minimize the whole thing, thinking judgy thoughts like, "What's the big deal? Haven't people been doing this for thousands of years?"
What an idiot.
The problem with bosses is that most of them are just people. Probably ambitious people who like working hard, but aside from being good at the tasks at hand, they might not have a whole lot of leadership skills or even life experience. I didn't. Single and living in New York City, across the country from any family member of my own, the career was my main priority for many years. Sure I had friends, coworkers and team members with kids, but the true complexities of raising a family and working at the same time were totally lost on me.
What I needed was a swift kick in the you-know-where, three kids of my own, a very wise mentor, or at least a message like Sheryl Sandberg's.
The second most famous Facebook executive spoke at Salesforce.com's Dreamforce event about the need for bosses to have honest, supportive conversations with female employees. She suggested saying something like this to valued team members in order to keep them on board for the long haul:
"You may want to have kids one day. My door is open. Come talk to me anytime.
If you want to have children I'm not going to give the good [opportunities] to someone else because you're pregnant. And I'm going to help you take a leave and come back if that's what you want to do."
This type of conversation did not cross my mind. Ever.
If you are pregnant or still considering a family but worried because your boss is young and silly, or old and lame, don't give up. Sheryl Sandberg is not your average boss—just consider her paycheck and her accomplishments. Her message, her attitude, is the gold standard, and you deserve that. You and your boss might get there but it'll likely have to start with you.
My advice as a former boss and a current parent is this:
- Don't apologize. Having a life outside of work is great. It makes you an interesting person who can relate to others. This includes having life goals, big dreams and even babies. Be grown up, have a pleasant, productive conversation with your boss about your plans and figure out how it can work for both of you.
- Don't act like your boss owes you. Even if you're the most dedicated employee around, never forget that you are getting paid for your work. That means you and the company you work for? You're square. No one owes you extra time off or special perks, even though you might get a few along the way. (When in doubt, I used to gauge my own requests like this, "If I owned this business, is this how I'd spend my time?")
- Don't be a martyr. There's a lot to juggle when you're pregnant and working full time. Figure out how you can still be awesome at your job while getting enough rest, water, bathroom breaks, mornings off for appointments and so on. It gets more complicated after the baby comes and of course you can still make it work.
- Don't expect your boss to totally get it. You don't need her (or him) to. Especially if she hasn't become a parent yet. Just think of it like any other life event—we've all worked with brides planning for a wedding, through the death of parents, battling serious health problems and more—and keep moving forward.
But before you start your family and career conversation, get yourself in a good spot. The most important advice I could ever give someone who wants to move up (or stay in a solid position) is simple, something my boyfriend-turned-husband told me many years ago and it changed my career. Your job is to make your boss's job easier. If you can spin the paradigm from ways to get more attention, a bigger paycheck and access to cooler projects for yourself, if you can start looking for ways to lift your boss up, you'll immediately find yourself moving up. And if you want to have a baby along the way, any boss with an employee who has her back like you do will be much happier to help make it work. Even if she's a little young and inexperienced.

Though I am not a Catholic, there will always be a special place in my heart for some nuns on the other side of the world. You see, before they came home to us, both of our Ethiopian daughters were cared for in a Catholic orphanage in Addis, called Kidane Mehret. According to this article in the CNEWA:
At one time, Kidane Mehret was run by a single nun who continued to work at the orphanage well into her 90's…. After the nun's death, Sister Lutgarda Camilleri of the Franciscan Sisters of the Heart of Jesus was asked if her community would assume responsibility for the orphanage. Sister Lutgarda was told the sisters had two options: "Take care of the children or throw them back on the streets."
Sister Lutgarda chose, of course, to take care of the children. The article talks about the original old building that housed the children at KM. By the time I went to Ethiopia to get my daughters, Kidane Mehret was in it's new builing, a considerable improvement over the old place. But Sister Lutgarda was still in charge.
She is a strong, efficient lady, (photo above, far right– my daughter is on the left) who when I went to get my daughter, took one look at the outfit I had brought and said, "That will be a little bit small on her." This despite the fact that she had 170 children in her care at that time, and my daughter was one of a dozen children in her room.
As is the case with all orphanages, things are not perfect at Kidane Mehret. Babies sometimes sleep two to a bed, and there aren't enough caregivers to go around. But the workers do the best they can with the resources they have. And both my daughters came home in good health, ready to love and be loved.
I am so grateful for the work they do there. A friend of mine, whose daughters came from the same orphanage as my girls, says "There is a whole generation of children [in Ethiopia] just waiting for someone to give them homes." And the nuns at Kidane Mehret are doing their best to find families for these kids, one child at a time.

TrackMania 2: Valley release date set for end of the week
Nadeo only recently released TrackMania 2: Stadium, but already they're revving up for the next addition to their series of improbable racers. TrackMania 2: Valley is a rally-focused expansion, and is planned for release this Thursday, July 4th. Incidentally, let's take a moment to congratulate Nadeo for the clear naming of their sequel. It's better than their previous system of bolting extra subtitles with every version - resulting in TrackMania United Forever Star Edition:
Origins. Or something.

So, here she is... This is Leona's sprite for the "Slave to Pleasure" Visual Novel project. It's one of the three sprites she's gonna have... Which makes me do some counts and... yeah, it took me like two days to make this sprite... and I've got to do 3 for each character... and just talking about the main female leads of the game, they're 5... so it's 5x3x2=30 so... A month to get all the sprites done... and the script is just 7 pages long as of now (I'm a slow writter)... Oh my god, this is going to take forever...
Anyway, share your thoughts people. I'm out!

A Brief Q&A with Brian Reagan
Sunday, November 27, 2011
Brian Reagan, the leader of the Opus College of Business' Center for Business Excellence, sits down with the StarTribune's Movers section. He briefly dicusses his background, his life outside work and his difficult rooting interests in the St. Thomas - St. John's football rivalry.

Every seat will be filled at the Wells Fargo Arena Friday night for the ASU basketball game versus the University of Arizona.
Assistant Athletic Director Doug Tammaro said the increase in security is not because of last week's incident after the University of Oregon game.
"Regardless of what happened the week before, the year before or ten years before, you'd have more security at this game because you have more people," explained Tammaro.
Hours before the game, security officials could be seen patrolling the area on foot and bike. Two officers with K-9s scoured the grounds.
After ASU's clenching win versus Oregon, a student spit on an Oregon coach. Though that coach did not decide to press charges, he has said there are security problems at Wells Fargo Arena since the opposing team's entrance is surrounded by the ASU fan section.
"Personally, I think (Oregon's concern) is where (ASU students are) sitting. Part of the issue is now there is a lot more of them and they're making a lot of noise, and they're a lot more fired up. I think that's starting to get on some people's nerves," said Tammaro.
Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Dave Burns and John Gambo said they believe last week's incident is isolated.
"It was one moron -- one jerk who got out of hand and spit on a (coach)," Gambo said.
"I think that student section quite frankly is one of the best things in Phoenix sports. It was an isolated incident," Burns said.
Students who are lining up to fill the section for Friday night's game were disappointed with what happened last week, but think Friday night will go smoothly.
"I think tempers might fare a little bit because that's the nature of the rivalry. But you know we're going to keep it clean and keep it fun and have fun tonight," said ASU freshman Austin Richelle.

A fascinating piece from The Other Sociologist
'Mona Abaza, Professor of Sociology at the American University in Cairo, argues that there has been a rush of Western 'academic tourists' who write about 'the Arab Spring' as a way to further their careers. With respect to the Egyptian Revolution, Abaza sees that Western academics seek out researchers and participants living in Egypt for information, but without considering them as equal contributors to the analysis. Instead, Western academics reproduce discourses of revolution from a Western perspective. Unwittingly, such researchers exploit and denigrate Middle Eastern experiences. Abaza uses the notion of Orientalism to make sense of this process. I also see that her analysis resonates with Stuart Hall's ideas about the Spectacle of the Other. Abaza's analysis is a great reminder that Western intellectualism requires reflexive consideration about 'whose knowledge counts more' when documenting social and historical change.'

I bought two of these trunks, in different colors/patterns, at different times. I bought my older son the trunk with the Union Jack on it. When my younger son saw it, he asked for this one. The first trunk arrived perfectly. The second arrived in a box that looked good from the outside, but it is also packed in an inside box. This box was crumpled on the corner pretty badly. As if someone might have dropped the box before packing it into its outside, undamaged box. The trunk had a crack on the piece of wood in which the hinges are located, was not square - which really matters when there is a pattern to line up, and had a couple permanent scratches resulting from the fall (drop.) I contacted O.co and explained to them it was the last one in stock and they offered a small percentage off (too small) and I did my best to polish and square it up, with the use of furniture pads under one corner. It works for my son, but I would not want it in the living room, etc, and should have sent it back, but what a pain to rebox, etc. Probably not a good idea to purchase these trunks online.
I was looking for a World War II style table to put between two recliners. This trunk really fit the bill. The two areas for storage is a bonus.

…[T]he term has been stretched so far in recent years, it's become a shapeless sack containing all of womanity. Back in March, Us Weekly posted pics of a bikini-clad Taylor Swift "showing off her curves" on the beach. Never mind that the 22-year-old country star's straight and willowy body is about as curvy as a carrot stick. At the other end of the spectrum, in Italian Vogue recently, Gabourey Sidibe was described as a "curvy actress." And the New York Daily News characterized Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy as a "curvy comedian." We all know the magazines are just being polite in these cases.
Regional councillor Colleen Jordan said she was concerned about the message the sculptures were sending the greater community."A number of the figures look somewhat overweight and were depicted doing passive things such as sitting and lying on the grass, and so on," said Ms. Jordan, who represents Wards 3 and 4 in Ajax. "And this isn't the type of lifestyle that we're encouraging, and especially among our children and our youth."
"I'm going to put a few of them on diets, and that by the time we erect them, they will be thin and good-looking, like the councillors like."But Mr. Lishman plans to have a range of silhouettes."I know a lot of people that are heavier and very active…. I would like to put a variety of different people there to show that the community centre is for many people in the community. It's not just for those who are active. You can sit and relax and enjoy, or you can take your body to the very limits of its abilities."
