Bisexuality as greed
Late last year, I watched on an Oprah show an Asian-American comedian saying bisexuality was greed. She was apparently not joking. She is bisexual. Her utterance is worthy of further exploration.
Bisexuality is one's sexual desire or behaviour towards both males and females. It does not necessarily equate to equal sexual desire for both sexes or having intimate relationships at the same time with males and females or to the same degree. The concern of this article is those persons who are having simultaneous intimate relationships with males and females.
Some scholars claim that bisexuality could be due to genetic, hormonal or environmental factors. However, there could be another reason - GREED. Greed is a selfish, excessive and obsessive desire for more than is necessary or deserved, in order to be satisfied. It is to please one's self while exploiting another person. It is a compulsive self-seeking of happiness, with no or little regard for God or human beings.
God intended sexual intercourse to facilitate childbearing. In addition, sexual activity was designed for the mutual satisfaction of the couple. Sexual coitus is devaluated when either party engages for self-gratification only; a sign of greed. Both persons should aim to satisfy the other in sexual intercourse.
Sex parties would be a symbol of greed. Former IMF head, Frenchman Dominique Strauss-Kahn, who is facing charges of "aggravated pimping" in France, testified that he attended only 12 orgies in three years. Orgies are designed to cater to the fancies of our sexual greed.
A person practising bisexuality could take the greed to another level and argue that he or she should be entitled to marry two persons. A heterosexual person who wants to marry two persons could be seen as greedy, hence most societies do not allow that. Similarly, a married person who commits adultery can be said to be greedy. There cannot be a free-for-all in sexual practices, otherwise it will lead to confusion and chaos.
In addition, persons who are practising bisexuals need to disclose it to their partners. There was a recent murder case in South Africa in which the millionaire husband was charged with the death of his wife, Anni Dewani. He was acquitted of the charge, but during the testimony, it came out that the husband was bisexual. The family of the deceased lady claimed that, if she had known that her husband was bisexual, she would not have married him.
a criminal offence
In the United States and Canada, persons with HIV/AIDS are required to tell their sexual partners about their status. It is a criminal offence wherein a person knows he or she has HIV and does not reveal it to his or her partner. In Jamaica, a person who knows that he or she has an illness that is transmitted sexually, commits an offence if he or she does not inform his or her partner(s). Such behaviour could be interpreted as an assault even if the partner has not been infected. The reasoning is that a partner would not have consented to sexual intercourse or sexual activity had he or she known the accused was infected. Similarly, a person who is bisexual should disclose his sexual practices to the persons with whom he or she is involved and intends to have sex, so that those persons can make the relevant informed decisions.
1 Timothy 3:2 states 'a bishop should be the husband of one wife.' This monogamous relationship still seems to be a great idea and best reflects God's will for humans.

Despite the resilient forces of reaction and repression—or perhaps largely because of them—we are living in the most vibrant period for social action since the 1960s. A critical turning point occurred just over four years ago, when Zuccotti Park and other public places across the country filled up with young people and others refusing to accept the mounting signs that our economy, culture, and politics are dominated by big corporations and the superrich—in an enduring phrase, the 1 percent. Joined and advanced since then by mainstream voices, from Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to Pope Francis, the national and international moment spotlighting income inequality owes much to the sense of urgency created by Occupy Wall Street. And the modest but significant gains we've seen in wages and working conditions owes everything to the courage and tenacity of those laborers—overwhelmingly immigrant women—who work in our nation's fast-food outlets and megastores and even our homes, where they care for our children and aging parents.
Another moment was forged by the Dreamers, those extraordinary sons and daughters of undocumented immigrants who put their lives on the line to call for an end to the federal government's increased deportations and forced disruption of their families. The long-overdue steps taken by President Obama to help bring these lives out of the shadows—since bogged down in courts and by an implacable nativist opposition—would never have been possible without the bravery of these young activists. By the same token, when women at colleges nationwide stood up to shame campus authorities for the shoddy treatment of rape victims, policies began to change.
And, of course, we're living in a moment when Americans have finally begun to acknowledge the institutionalized racism of our nation's police forces, which has produced a steady torrent of black victims: Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Freddie Gray, Walter Scott, Laquan McDonald, and far too many others. These fellow citizens were jumped, choked, hanged, or riddled with bullets while selling cigarettes on the sidewalk, or using an ATM, or driving down the highway full of hope for a new job—in short, for working and living while black. The exhausting, routinized, unfathomable outrage of it all cannot be contained a second longer.
For some years, there were two strains of civic engagement that didn't always work well together, and race was a factor. One strain emphasized process, the other rights; one had its roots in political science, the other in social movements. I don't want to overstate these differences, but they've been persistent and often, in my view, costly to our shared goal of advancing a more inclusive and truly representative democracy.
My sense is that this has changed, and is changing still. In the wake of Ferguson and similar events in which we've seen the close interplay between political exclusion and violence, the distinction between criminal-justice reform and democratic reform simply can't be maintained any longer. For a democracy movement to be worthy of the name, it must recognize the fact that the criminal-justice system is a barrier to the full exercise of citizenship for many marginalized Americans.
* * *
While I believe that building a more inclusive framework for civic engagement is an urgent priority for all Americans, the issue is also personal. I have held leadership positions in social-justice and philanthropy organizations for most of my adult life, and I have spent a good deal of that time trying to persuade predominantly white and male institutions to stand up for racial and gender justice. Over the years, I've had to confront the racist and sexist structures that have shaped me and grapple with my own privilege while coming to grips with the institutional racism that has shaped each organization in which I have worked. I have not always succeeded, not in myself and not in the institutions.

Magnesium: Meet the Most Powerful Relaxation Mineral Available1732887
A DEFICIENCY IN THIS CRITICAL nutrient makes you twice as likely to die as other people, according to a study published in The Journal of Intensive Care Medicine .(i) It also accounts for a long list of symptoms and diseases — which are easily helped and often cured by adding this nutrient. In fact, in my practice, this nutrient is one of my secret weapons against illness. Yet up to half of Americans are deficient in this nutrient and don't know it.
I'm talking about

It is an antidote to stress, the most powerful relaxation mineral available, and it can help
supreme nike air force 1 white
I find it very funny that more doctors aren't clued in to the benefits of magnesium, because we use it all the time in conventional medicine. But we never stop to think about why or how important it is to our general health or why it helps our bodies function better.
I remember using magnesium when I worked in the emergency room. It was a critical "medication" on the crash cart. If someone was dying of a life-threatening arrhythmia (or irregular heart beat), we used intravenous magnesium. If someone was constipated or needed to prepare for colonoscopy, we gave them milk of magnesia or a green bottle of liquid
air jordan 4 retro white 7UIUixXk
, which emptied their bowels. If pregnant women came in with pre-term labor, or high blood pressure of pregnancy (pre-eclampsia) or seizures, we gave them continuous high doses of intravenous magnesium.
But you don't have to be in the hospital to benefit from getting more magnesium. You can start taking regular magnesium supplementation today and see results.
The Relaxation Mineral
Think of magnesium as
nike air jordans 22
mineral. Anything that is tight, irritable, crampy, and stiff — whether it is a body part or an even a mood — is a sign of magnesium deficiency.
This critical mineral is actually responsible for over 300 enzyme reactions and is found in all of your tissues — but mainly in your bones, muscles, and brain. You must have it for your cells to make energy, for many different chemical pumps to work, to stabilize membranes, and to help muscles relax.

'Real pay gap' between men and women: Sheryl Sandberg
American businesswoman, activist and writer Sheryl Sandberg has reportedly said that there is a real pay gap between what men and women earn.
Talking to HuffPost Live's Caroline Modarressy-Tehrduring an interview aired recently, Sandberg vehemently disagreed with a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed that argued evidence of a "widespread" gender pay gap are "fundamentally misleading," HuffPost reported.
Sandberg said that it's indisputable that there's a real pay gap, adding that people can argue about how big, but that's almost besides the point.
Acknowledging common stats that showed that women made only 77% of what men earned, she stressed that the actual gap was still inarguably real.
She said that even if all of that was taken out of the equation, there still was a pay gap of about 91 cents to the dollar, adding that while thirty percent of the children in this country are being raised by single parents, the overwhelming majority of those are single mothers, the report added.

Rosacea Treatment
There is no cure, however, controlling, minimising flare-up and reducing the severity is possible with a holistic treatment approach utilising light therapy, dietary supplement & changes to address the underlying causes.
Our approach of looking at the underlying triggers and environmental factors, creating bespoke treatment plans per patient is what separates Zest, from most Rosacea treatment clinics.
Rosacea affects more the 1 in 5 people and in Ireland that percentage is higher. Treating Rosacea requires a multi-treatment approach. Although it currently cannot be cured and also not knowing the actual reasoning behind its occurrence the treatment and management is getting better every year. Make an appointment to see Emma, with over 14 years experience dealing with problematic skin complaints, you are in the best of care.
We understand how Rosacea can affect your quality of life, controlling and minimising the underlying triggers and aggressors of Rosacea flair can dramatically change the severity of the condition. We may not be able to cure Rosacea, however, we can control how severe it is.
I started my IPL treatment for rosacea in August this year. I transferred from a very reputable clinic on the south side of Dublin due to the distance, I needed a clinic closer to home. I was very apprehensive searching the Net, then I discovered Zest. The website is so informative, reading all about Emma's Accreditations, her experience in the industry, her knowledge and passion and her state of the art equipment (Medical Grade) made me feel so relieved and I just knew this is the one for me. I've had three sessions so far, each time I was welcomed with a super friendly greeting, made feel very welcomed and comfortable in a lovely zesty ambience. My skin without any shadow of a doubt feels and looks much better than I expected, I'm looking forward to further treatment and maintenance as it is second to none in my very happy opinion. Keep up the fantastic work Emma!! Best Wishes from Liz, Clonsilla X – Elizabeth Petrov – Read more reviews
Natural Rosacea treatment at Zest with Emma, taking a different approach to most Acne & Rosacea clinics by utilising the bodies natural immune system and getting to the underlying environmental caused triggers. Every person is uniquely assessed then a bespoke treatment plan is created. The clinic's focus is to understand and identify the underlying causes of the Rosacea or Acne, treating the symptoms rather than masking the visual effects.
Specialising in skin complaints, Rosacea, Acne, Red/Blue Veins Spider Veins, pigmentation and a host of general skin blemishes, for example, age and UV damage pigmented lesions. Using a combination of Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, dietary supplements and specific cosmeceutical products we are able to combat the occurrence and symptoms of Rosacea.
What causes rosacea?
Although research continues into the skin complaint, an exact cause is not known, there are a number of theories & common factors that often present in rosacea suffers, although none of these factors have definitely been proven.
- Very small blood vessels under the troubled skin may become abnormal or leaky.
- Sun damage.
- A tiny mite called demodex folliculorum may be involved. It lives harmlessly on the skin of many people but has been found in higher numbers in those with rosacea.
- Abnormal immune system reactions in the skin, which lead to inflammation.
- Genetics may also be involved as rosacea may run in some families.
Who suffers from rosacea?
Although the numbers can come across as a little scary, over 2 in 10 in Ireland for example, in most cases it is a mild form and easily managed. Often symptoms present early in your 20's although it is much more common between the ages of 30 to 50. In very rare cases rosacea can present in children, women are more commonly affected than men. Although more common for women, men tend to on average suffer more severally. As with most sensitivity it is typically more prominent in fair-skinned rather than dark-skinned people.
How is rosacea diagnosed?
Diagnosis of rosacea is straight forward, through normal identification; the appearance of rosacea is identified by the symptoms you present on your face.
What are the symptoms of rosacea?
- Frequent flushing of the face rosacea symptoms is redness, flushing of the face or a blushed look. Furthermore this can be the mild onset, this may stay long term, may evolve into a worsening condition, sometimes it can take years for a mild condition to evolve into a more aggressive concern.
- Erythema or redness of parts of the face, a look similar to mild sunburn.
- Papules & small cysts (pustules) or small lumpy red spots, the spots are sometimes confused with acne, although to the trained eye there are differences in both identification and treatment.
- Telanglectasia on the face tiny blood vessels become highly visible just under the surface of the skin.
Eye symptoms (also called ocular rosacea) occur in about half of cases, but are often mild. They can include:
- A feeling of something in the eye.
- Burning, stinging or itchy eyes.
- Sensitivity to light.
- Eyelid problems such as cysts, styes or eyelid inflammation (blepharitis).
- Thickening of the skin is quite rare, also known as (rhinophyma) (a bulbous, bumpy nose) affecting mainly the central parts of the face, cheeks, and forehead, nose, around the chin and mouth.
Rosacea is not normally a painful condition, not itchy but can seem burning, irritated over the affected areas. Living with rosacea is more visually distressing for the sufferer, and is often confused with the skin of a heavy drinker.
Symptoms can and do vary individually
Many people only ever experience the lower symptoms often never evolving into more serious concerns. Additionally many people will only suffer the 'blushing or flushing of the face' and experience no other symptoms.
- Some sufferers experience multiple symptoms, although a single symptom often dominates.
- Spots to the face although common place are not always an indicator of rosacea
- Rhinophyma is very rare and often presents with just that symptom or before any other symptoms develop.
Basically the symptoms are very individual specific just like the treatment plan and process.
Treatment & management options
Currently we do not have a cure, we have management plans and treatments designed to reduce the visible signs. Although technology is always advancing as too medical research, currently we have at our disposal light therapy, medical grade IPL and assisted plans to combat and manage most types of rosacea symptoms.
Please contact zest and discuss your management options with a skin specialist.
A balanced diet may help but with our food groups missing vital nutrients and the density of nutrients in today's mass produced food is leaving us all with nutrient deficiencies. Emotional stress, how we address our wellbeing is critical in the fight against acne and rosacea. Acne sufferers in particular often present with several triggers, diet and our lifestyle are two of the major factors that need attention within the acne treatment plan.
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin, it comes in two forms bio-available Retinoids or Carotenoids the form found in fruit and vegetables. The most significant factor about vitamin A is the distinction between retinoids and carotenoids. The vitamin A from animal sources is retinoids, also called retinol while plant source vitamin A is carotenoids, such as beta-carotene.
I don't want to sound like, poor me, but 2015 was a hard year, I have always suffered from acne and when my stress levels are high, so are my breakouts. Coming back to Ireland and opening Zest has been a very hard slog. Trying to gain attention in the market with long-standing bigger players has been anything but easy.

Good pork chop recipes are hard to come by. Because I find the flavor of a well-cooked chop irresistible, I also find speculation about this scarcity of recipes diverting if inconclusive.
Maybe the pig's johnny-come-lately arrival to the food supply -- almost two thousand years after the sheep's and the goat's -- is the key to the mystery. But then that was 9,000 years ago. Or it could be that the pig's reputation as a sloppy creature is the reason good pork chop recipes are in short supply.
The Bible enjoins us not to cast our pearls before swine. And everyone knows that you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Not only do pigs get bad press, they have also contributed many defamatory words to our vocabulary. Messy, greedy overeaters are labeled pigs or hogs. Vicious or contemptible men are called swine and slovenly or careless women are sows.

Service Provider WiFi and Evolved Small Cells to Grow Seven-Fold Through 2017
Sixty Percent of Outside Sites to Rely on Microwave Backhaul
Feb 06, 2013, 02:30 EST
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a newly published forecast report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for market information about the networking and telecommunications industries, public access small cell equipment comprising Service Provider WiFi (SP WiFi), and evolved WCDMA/LTE and multi-mode WCDMA/LTE/WiFi small cell radios, will drive future growth in the market.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101012/SF80035LOGO)
"If we look at all the various small cell markets including residential, enterprise, and public access small cells, we expect the public access market to generate the most rapid growth in the next five years," said Stefan Pongratz, Senior Analyst with Dell'Oro Group. "Even though significant challenges remain for operators to move to large scale small cell deployments in the licensed spectrum, there are now clear indicators that a number of early adopters are looking to shift some CAPEX from outdoor population coverage to indoor coverage and cell edge performance," continued Pongratz.
Other highlights from the report include:
- An assessment of the backhaul vendor landscape, vendor solutions, and the various backhaul technologies that will be used at different small cell sites, revealing that more than sixty percent of small cell sites using external backhaul will rely on Line of Sight (LOS) and Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) microwave by 2017
- Detailed analysis of unlicensed small cells showing that SP WiFi will account for approximately 85 percent of all small cell radio shipments in 2017.
The Advanced Research Report: Small Cell (January 2013), includes a five-year unit and revenue forecast of the following segments: Radio Access Network (WCDMA/LTE – traditional and evolved), Backhaul (LOS/NLOS microwave and fiber/copper), and SP WiFi (enterprise-class devices and outdoor mesh nodes that ship to service providers).

Samsung's first attempt at a phone/camera hybrid, the Galaxy S 4 Zoom, is now being updated to Android 4.4.2 KitKat. While the Galaxy S 4 Zoom never struck much of a chord with consumers, some niche users love the device. Samsung hasn't forgotten about them and is making sure that the software stays fresh with Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The update rollout has begun in Russia and will be making its way to other regions within the coming days.
Android 4.4.2 KitKat brings numerous improvements to the table including better performance and wireless printing support. As of now, there's no word on whether the update contains anything in addition to the usual KitKat goodness. If Galaxy S 4 Zoom owners are lucky, they could see features from the Galaxy K Zoom added to the update. If not, well, KitKat is great on its own.

Free and open to the public
October 19, 2017
Smart Museum of Art, 5550 S. Greenwood Ave
We the Publics is a manifesto and proposition for the 28th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.
Authored by Emmanuel Pratt, the Smart Museum's 2017–2018 Interpreter in Residence, and Dan Borelli, Director of Exhibitions at Harvard's Graduate School of Design (GSD), it rethinks the role, power, and purpose of the public in shaping and influencing the spatial evolution of the built environment. It proposes a series of common rights for all people, which are currently denied to many, and common responsibilities for our collective good, which are ignored by others.
We the Publics began as an exhibition at GSD and will now take the form of a migratory dinner series unfolding across multiple sites in Chicago. Hosted by Sweet Water Foundation and the Smart Museum, the meals will convene artists, agriculturalists, cultural workers, activists, academics, and others to actualize the essential rights outlined in the manifesto.
The first meal in the series takes place within Pratt's installation at the Smart, Radical [Re]Constructions.
FREE, but space is very limited. Advance registration is required.
EVENT IS FULL. Registration has closed.

Dallas only had one pick on Day 2 in the third round after trading its second-round pick to the St. Louis Rams in exchange for the No. 6 overall pick in the first round, which the Cowboys used to acquire cornerback Morris Claiborne from LSU. While that was a costly move, Dallas used its later picks to add players at positions of need. Now it's time to determine whether those were good picks.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, motor vehicle and other traffic accidents contribute to 38.1% of traumatic brain injury-related deaths. Those who survive a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are often left with severe disabilities. After an accident that causes a serious head injury, patients can experience significant problems with consciousness, awareness and alertness. The following are five abnormal states of consciousness that can arise after a TBI:
- Stupor – A sleeplike condition in which the patient is mostly unconscious. Only a loud noise or intense pain can elicit a response.
- Coma – A condition in which the patient is unconscious, unaware and does not respond to any external stimuli such as light, pain or noise. Patients may remain in a coma for a few days or weeks and then gradually recover or progress to a vegetative state.
- Vegetative State – Patients in a vegetative state are unconscious and unaware of their surroundings. However, they do have wake-sleep cycles and their eyes may be open. They may also moan, yawn, blink, move or open their eyes in response to external stimuli such as a loud sound or bright light.
- Persistent Vegetative State (PVS) – Patients in a PVS are those who have been in a vegetative state for more than 30 days. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), the chances of recovery from a PVS within six months are about 50 percent for an adult and 60 percent for a child and depend on the severity of the injury. After about a year, the chances of recovery are very low. Those who do recover are significantly impaired and may not ever progress to the point where they can care for themselves.
- Locked-In Syndrome – Patients suffering from locked-in syndrome are aware and awake but unable to move or communicate. Many of these patients are still able to blink their eyes and use eye movements to communicate.
Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of moderate to severe TBIs. These injuries are typically life-changing events. They cause long-term disabilities that affect the quality of life of the victim as well as family members and friends.

Are You Smart on the Higgs Boson?
Scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN, announced yesterday that they're even more certain than they were last summer (like, more than 99.999999999 percent sure) that they've seen a Higgs boson particle—even if it's not the Higgs boson particle.
Why does it even matter? Well, let's start with, this is a discovery that could potentially change our entire understanding of how the universe works. So, to avoid being a complete nub on this issue, what do you need to know and what can you say if someone brings up the subject?

Astronomers Find 1000+ New Planets
This week astronomers using NASA's Kepler space telescope announced that the planet-hunting spacecraft had increased its catalogue by an additional 1,284 worlds. This is the greatest number of planets ever announced at one time. A paper summarizing the findings appears in The Astrophysical Journal. The total exoplanet tally now stands at about 3,200, and Kepler has found 2,235 of them, NASA officials said.

If you pinch the skin of your arm, the flesh between your fingers is subcutaneous fat, found underneath the skin. This fat beneath your skin is very different from visceral fat.
Visceral fat is what gives a muffin top its bulge. A muffin top refers to those fatty parts of flesh at your waistline (like love handles and belly fat) that spill over your skirt, trousers, or jeans.
When it comes to a muffin top, a slender body does not necessarily equate to health. You might be "thin" and still have stubborn belly fat.
Unlike any other type of fat tissue in the body, visceral fat wraps itself around organs in the abdominal cavity. Visceral fat stores the reproductive hormone estrogen. (1) It is also pro-inflammatory, meaning that it contributes to inflammation. (2) Whether you have a muffin top or a beer belly, excessive visceral fat is a sign of metabolic stress. It also tells you that your reproductive hormones are out of balance.
A muffin top that won't budge is frustrating, and it can also affect your health. Drinking a daily probiotic, like Passion Fruit Biotic, can curb sugar cravings that contribute to stubborn belly fat.
Excessive visceral fat is linked to:
What are the main causes of a muffin top, beer belly, or belly fat?
If you use caffeine and sweets or carbs as your primary source of fuel, insulin—the hormone that regulates blood sugar—is thrown out of balance.
When the machinery that regulates blood sugar is thrown off too often, cells become insulin resistant. This means that your body is producing insulin but is not able to utilize it.
Cells use glucose, a form of sugar, as fuel. When they become resistant to insulin (the hormone that transfers sugar into cells), cells aren't able to get the sugar they need, and they can't produce the energy your body needs.
Since cells are not able to respond properly to insulin, the body tries to produce more insulin in an attempt to get the cells the glucose they need. Over time, the body is unable to keep producing this excessive amount of insulin, and type 2 diabetes can develop.
What happens to the excess sugar? It goes to the liver and is converted into fat. This leads to weight gain throughout the body.
If you are having issues with sugar, try using stevia or lakanto to satisfy that sweet tooth. Stevia naturally lowers blood sugar. Also, consider adding probiotic beverages to your diet. Just a few ounces of the sour taste can help to balance sugar cravings.
Insulin resistance shares a relationship with reproductive hormones. The more insulin resistant you are, the more likely you are to have excessively high levels of hormones that you don't want.
For women, insulin resistance and a muffin top go hand-in-hand with too much testosterone.
Women who struggle with belly fat often have too little estrogen and too much testosterone. Research has found that women with upper body fat (versus lower body fat on the thighs and buttocks) have higher levels of free testosterone floating around. (3)
We see these high levels of free testosterone when there is frequent sugar overload, like in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). (4) We also see it with aging, such as after menopause. (5)
The liver is connected to both sugar imbalance and skewed hormones. For starters, the liver metabolizes—or detoxifies—reproductive hormones.
The liver also produces SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin). SHBG binds to hormones like estrogen and testosterone. You need SHBG in order to regulate your levels of free (and active) hormones.
Here's the thing about SHBG: The more insulin resistant you are, the less SHBG you have—and in the case of women, the more unwanted testosterone you have floating around.
When the liver is overworked, tired, and congested, it doesn't do a very good job of metabolizing hormones. And when the liver is made to store excess glucose because of insulin resistance, it (along with your muffin top) gets fat. (6) This is called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Just last year, a team of researchers at the University Hospital Ulm in Germany found that both men and women with a fatty, congested liver were more likely to have low levels of SHBG. (7)
One of the best remedies for an overworked, tired, and congested liver is to give it herbs like milk thistle, wasabi, artichoke leaf, and sarsaparilla as found in LivAmend. These herbs have been shown to directly support the liver and remove some of burden that we place on it every day.
We also suggest eating plenty of fermented cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables like cabbage, kale, broccoli, and cauliflower contain nutrients that support liver health, while fermentation improves digestion and absorption of these foods.
If you're new to fermented foods, try this great starter recipe!
Visceral fat is to blame for your muffin top that just won't go away. It's possible to struggle with this stubborn belly fat no matter what you weigh. Visceral fat is concerning because it is pro-inflammatory and may be a sign of an underlying health issue, like imbalanced reproductive hormones.
Excess visceral fat has been linked to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
There are three main causes of a muffin top that won't budge:
Lakanto is the only zero calorie, zero glycemic sweetener that is just like sugar. Lakanto Golden's mouthwatering aroma and delicious flavor tastes like brown sugar. While Lakanto Classic's clean and crisp sweetness tastes like plain white sugar.
Lakanto looks like, tastes like and works just like sugar. Unlike most fruits, whose sweetness comes from fructose, Monk Fruit's sweetness comes from natural mogrosides that are 300 times sweeter than sugar.
Plus, Monk Fruit extract does not elevate blood sugar or insulin, making it a perfect sweetener for maintaining health blood sugar levels and weight management.
Now available in two flavors: Golden or Classic. What's the difference?
Golden has a flavor similar to brown sugar or molasses.
Classic has a flavor more similar to table sugar.

At Econsultancy, we've been writing about the changes being implemented off the back of Google's Penguin update and how it will affect what you do to your site. How are we surviving in this post-Penguin world? And how are affiliates and those sites that relied on link building (amongst other things) to make their money, going to continue to stay in business?
This morning at Affiliate Summit East in New York, Wil Reynolds, founder of SEER Interactive, spoke about the changes Google has made with Penguin and how to prepare for the ones that will be game changers. Immediately following his session, Lornen Baker, Vice President of Business Development at BlueGlass, spoke about how we have to look at link building in a new way.
All links are no longer created equal
Traditionally, placing links in content would ultimately create more revenue for you. You'd acquire a wide variety of links from anywhere that would pass link juice so the more sites and the more content you had linking to you the better off you were.
This could be from comments, forums, directories, linkwheels, blog networks, bookmarketing, etc. It was all about links, links and more links. And it didn't matter if the site the link came from had readership, comments or traffic. But with the changes implemented with Penguin, not only will links from weak pages not help you anymore, they can actually harm your website.
How do you clean up links by abandoned sites or links you haven't set up yourself? For those who have been doing this for years, you may not know how to get the bad links removed. In fact, just as link shops used to charge you to add links to sites, some are now charging to take them down. Out of the Penguin update, there is actually now a business created surrounding this type of clean up.
Who's going to win long term?
You have to ask yourself if you are really excited about buying expired domains and selling them back or if you're passionate about buying old domains for link juice? I would imagine most of you would say you aren't.
Link building cannot be seen as a separate strategy any longer even for affiliates. I would say, affiliates will have the biggest need to change as it's all about building a site, a brand and a vision.
And you are going to have to consider community more than ever. Being at an affiliate conference, a lot of the points being made as advice to circumvent the changes that could be detrimental to affiliate sites, are ones you'd hear at most social, community or digital media conferences, except these can be major game changers for those affiliates who have focused on buying traffic and link building by hook or by crook.
So you have to engage and you need rabid fans. Guest blogging can help you get ahead and Community will start to bump you up especially with the integrations of social and search Google has been making. If you are added into someone's circles, you will come up higher in their search. Now you will be linked to if you share your expertise (well you probably were before, but people went for easy links rather than quality ones).
Affiliate site Climbing Frames UK is doing just that. It gives users what they're actually searching for. It makes hundreds of videos, real fans take real photos and send them in, they have competitions and encourage guest posts. Just like other brands and affiliates are starting to do. You could say building followers is the new link building.
You need great content - duh
We constantly hear that you need a content marketing solution as great content builds your brand and your audience, drives traffic and brand exposure and is highly shareable. Of course it is, it's great, right?
Like what you find on Climbing Frame TV, the content that picks up is not always great (unless you really love climbing frames) but it's the things that are useful. To further prove that point, Baker shared a case study of one of their infographics on content marketing. In fact, it was one we published earlier this year.
The infographic had:
- 884 Facebook shares
- 274 Facebook likes
- 755 tweets
- 655 +1s
- 111 LinkedIn shares
Off the back of that one image, it built a plethora of links including:
- 1417 total backlinks to the original Mashable post
- 181 unique refering domains
- 200+ links to the BlueGlass services page
- 50+ unique referring domains
Most of the links were "content marking" and "BlueGlass content marketing" so it gave targeted anchor links that normally would be difficult to get. Most importantly, the spread of this infographic helped generate leads.
BlueGlass had:
- 500% increase in qualified leads that day
- 300% increase in qualified leads that week
- And the infographic continues to send multiple weekly leads (two months later!)
Surely you can still get around Penguin's changes?
There will still be tricks to get around the system. At the moment, Google's authorship program is being stuffed with profiles of non-existent authors to give the feel of authenticity of content.
Unfortunately, this will be probably be struck down at some point with the next Google update and ultimately, the authorship program is not about you putting a face on it, it's about you being recognizable. So hopefully the more Google refines it's algorhythm, the better the quality of our searches will become.
Brands are going to benefit
The people to benefit more from these changes? The brands and, I'd argue, any one who uses the internet. I personally take responsibility for writing keyword stuffed content in my youth and I helped make the internet a messy place. When I search for content I actually want to find something useful on the first page I hit. FINALLY Google is rewarding brand activity instead of basing search rankings on anchor text, keywords, associated keywords, etc.
When you boil it down, the more you look like a brand, the more you win. This can only be a good thing.

Moving forward in the post-penguin era my main advice is to optimise for your target audience at all times and forget about the search engines - you'll see your conversion rate increase and the search engines will love it too. You'll also future-proof your strategy against any upcoming algorithm updates.
Great advice Tara. I think if people stopped thinking about the easy way around the system and just got on with it, they'd be much better off all round.
Hey Heather, thanks for the coverage of my session! Hope you found it helpful.
What I dont understand is why on earth is everyone jumping on the guest posting bandwagon?
Panda/Penguin haven't actually changed anything! What used to work 2-3 years ago still works now as long as you use decent quality content and varied anchor text.
It just seems that 'guest blogging' is the new buzz word thrown around by the SEO world.
I just dont get it at all!
some times , i am a bit confused with all these updates.
I still find websites with huge backlinks ranking in the serps.
I mean sites using their main keyword as their anchor text for all their 1500 backlinks.
I second what mathew said ; everything seem thesame, the only difference is using quality content and and building backlinks from good websites.
I agree that a good social media campaign, along with guest posts can help a lot. I would also suggest on-page SEO too.
I think quality of links is more important than anchor text ratios
Is Climbing Frames UK actually an affiliate site? Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like an actual ecommerce store... not an affiliate site. Dropship may be, but not an affiliate site. Am I correct?
@ Matthew: The Penguin didn't changed anything for big brands and people using white-hat SEO but it changed everything for web spammers and those using black-hat methods!
Great review of the post penguin session, figuring out how to remove links from "weak" pages is still confusing to me. And the SERPs are not producing the sites I want to read, I get very frustrated searching these days, after about 4 search pages in I give up.
I know this site presents quality based articles
or reviews and extra material, is there any other web site which provides these
kinds of stuff in quality?

Next week, the HTC One finally makes its U.S.-based debut. This particular handset has been the sole focus of all sorts of praise, from pretty much every single person I've seen out there who has had any significant amount of time with the device. Sure, it's not all rainbows and butterflies, but the overall impression I'm getting about HTC's flagship device this year is that they truly, without a doubt, hit the nail right on the head. This is not only the HTC device we've been waiting for, but the Android device we've all been waiting for.
When I was writing my piece about not upgrading to the iPhone if its only main improvement is its camera, I mentioned that I've never picked up an iPhone at launch. Never even considered it, actually. Moreover, as I gave it some more thought, I've never actually been excited about an impending iPhone's release into the market. Never looked forward to the date.
And yet, it's the phone I keep the longest when I do have it.
I think that could change with the HTC One. And, to be perfectly honest, this is one of the only times that I can remember I've been excited for a date. I may or may not have the date circled on a calendar somewhere, and as the date inexorably moves closer my anticipation only grows. This is a device that I can't wait to unwrap, turn on, and use. That display. The industrial design. I'm even excited to give the camera a shot. (No pun intended.)
But, I have to wait. And waiting just means thinking, and analyzing, and looking at every single angle that comes with purchasing a new device. As aforementioned it isn't all rainbows and butterflies, and there is one thing that has me a little worried about buying the One right now. Or, in a week. And that's Google's main event of the year: I/O. The event, which is scheduled for the mid-section of May, is right around the corner, and kicks off less than a month after the release of HTC's One on AT&T's network.
As you can probably guess, I'm worried about the proximity of both these events, the release of the One and the conference, because this is where Google traditionally unveils a new version of Android. It's expected to be Android Key Lime Pie. As far as features go, it's anyone's guess, but the general belief is that there's going to be plenty of new things to get excited about. This is a major bump in version number, supposedly.
It's true that I don't see a problem with being one version behind. After all, it's just the way things are these days. Unless you're Samsung apparently, it's rare that your phone launches with the newest version of Android, and as long as your phone can do cool things out of the box, that shouldn't be a problem.
However, if Google does intend on releasing a new version of Android at I/O this year, it means that the HTC One will be two versions behind. Unless the manufacturer can somehow manage to get Android 4.2 Jelly Bean released to the One immediately following its release, that is. But I don't see that happening.
So, what does it matter that I'd potentially be two versions behind? Well, for one, it's only going to be a month later after I buy the One. That means I'll have bought it, and it will still be in the realm of that whole "buyer's remorse" syndrome, because I'll know what Google is shoving into Key Lime Pie. What's my phone got? Less than Key Lime Pie.
Actually, that's not really it. What is bothering me the most, in this speculation about the future, is that HTC won't be able to get me Key Lime Pie on the One, before they release a successor to their flagship device. And if, in true follow-up fashion, it's even more desirable than the original One, I'll want to buy that one, too. But, it probably won't be running Android Key Lime Pie, either. When manufacturers are forced to stack potential software updates, there's just a point where you have to come to the realization that one of those updates may just not happen.
Then you cross your fingers and hope that it's not the newest upgrade that a gets skipped in favor of older software.
I'm honestly excited about the One. I still intend on getting it, and (hopefully) loving every minute of owning HTC's newest flagship device. But I do have this sinking feeling that Google I/O will make me regret the purchase, at least a little bit.
How do you feel about buying a new Android handset so close to Google's rumored introduction of a new software version? Even Samsung's Galaxy S 4 will suffer this fate, if speculated release dates fall into place. Are you willing to take the leap, in hopes that your device will get the update? Or will you wait to see which new devices launch with the new software? Let me know.

The new 2018 Ferrari Laferrari get a lot of renovation, especially inside the engine compartment, but can`t drop to create fantastic design and style that is external s about to have.
Outdoors design of the new 2018 Ferrari Laferrari is standard, a factor that all personnel should refer to imagine Ferrari. You could have the first situation, with its beautiful state continue to operate fantastic business mainly because `s likely to support possible to increase the speed and Ferrari`s requires designers to achieve, to become the world leader in the exercise of motor sport markets.

The entire cabin will need to have concentrated most of his jumper functions and much easier to have them.
Most of the details of your engine is certainly speculation, since Ferrari, however, didn`t find anything. `I noticed that all new 2018 Ferrari Laferrari will be powered by a V12 engine of 6.3 liters which will be combined with two digital electronic engines. This great mix will provide energy of about 963 horses. The use of this type of engine, the new 2018 Ferrari Laferrari going 120 mph in just 6.7 seconds. People are all we have now information`s the location of the new Laferrari engine but we`ll help you stay in sensation.
As you can imagine, the probable new 2018 Ferrari Laferrari will be produced in limited series; probably only 500 segments were created. Therefore, we believe that won`t be in front of the duration of summer time in 2018, although their rates are fixed are calculated for all of about $ 1.7 thousands.

The food's out, the drinks are flowing, and the beats are ready to bring down the house! But wait, where's all that bass coming from? Your friends might not believe you when you tell them, but it's the compact Minx X300 pumping out all that bottom end. And yes, it really measures less than a cubic foot. Under a side table, in a corner, next to your entertainment stand your friends will feel the bass thanks to this sub's 300-watt amp, but they may not even see the sub itself. And like all Minx speakers, the X300 is carefully designed to deliver the purest sound, whether you're enjoying a fist-pumping rock concert or live string performance.

Heads up! Come check out our new forums, CurlTalk.
Wash and go styling products?
I alternate between loving my waves/curls (anywhere from 2B to 3A, very thick hair, coarse, recently color treated for the first time and subsequently dry) and straightening/curling the heck out of them. I'm a busy student and am looking for a styling product that I can just run through my hair and leave. I used Herbal Essences Totally Twisted or Tousle Me Softly mousse for a long time and they both did the trick and air-dried beautifully. However, I'm hoping for a product that's a little more CG-friendly (sulfate-free and such) or maybe more moisturizing. Any suggestions? Any holy grail products out there? I'm really drawn in by the names I see on the site: KCCC, DevaCurl, SheaMoisture, Curl Junkie, etc. but I'm not sure if they're better suited for 3/4 hair instead of mine. Also, if at all possible, I would like something that's available in on-the-ground stores (Target, ULTA, etc.)
1 Answer
DevaCurl and SheaMoisture are great brands for wavies too! And they're all CG friendly. My favorite Deva products are Light Defining Gel and the deep conditioner. SheaMoisture shampoo and conditioner are awesome. My favorite Curl Junkie product is the smoothing lotion, which you can use as a leave in. Don't be afraid to try products that are meant for type 3s and 4s! A lot of times those are my favorite. :)
This Q&A section is soo last year... Talk curls at the all new CurlTalk!

Seven reasons to control grassland weeds
|Newly sown grass leys are particularly susceptible to weed competition especially when clover is part of the mix
Permanent grassland will succumb to patches of Docks, Nettles, Thistles and other weeds reducing grazing area and yield of silage or hay
Weed infestation will reduce palatability which results in selective grazing and accelerates sward degeneration
Long term leys will degenerate as weed grasses take over
Weeds poisonous to livestock such as Ragwort represent a major threat to livestock
Several weeds are covered by legislation and enforcement orders can be issued for their control
Most weeds can produce thousands of seeds which can germinate and cause problems over many years
Common weeds known to be poisonous to livestock
|The weeds listed below can cause harm to livestock. If these weeds are sprayed it is vital to allow them to die and decay before re-introducing livestock. These weeds remain toxic when made into hay or silage

Aguanta! A good good Spanish (official language of South Florida?) word for….well, I was searching for the best translation I could find, but this word when used, has to be used just right and in the right context. It is derived from the transitive verb "Aguantar," which means "to hold steady," as in "don't let it fall," "to support or bear," "tolerate and withstand," but I like to think of it like, "take it like a woman," or "take it like a man."
Aguanta requires that you keep a sustained action, resisting defeat, and holding "it" steady. Aguanta pushes you to endure 'til the end. This was my mantra today as I ran 6 miles up and down that "beast" of a bridge (E. Shaw) on 17th street in Fort Lauderdale today. The weather was formidable with rain threatening in the horizon, and I felt much better than yesterday. I stopped midways twice at mile 4 and at mile five but I said to myself, in a forceful way, "aguanta!" Just this simple verb became a powerful force and helped me to keep going. Words carry power, remember this.
Yeah, it's crazy, but sometimes I think in Spanish and sometimes I think in English. Things often get a bit mixed up and sticky up there in my memory bank, and at times when I can't retrieve or find an English word swift enough, the Spanish substitute promptly comes to my rescue. I am not going to turn this post into a Dora The Explorer episode, although you can feel free to teach your kid a new Spanish word–it might help the poor soul sometime in the near feature, get my drift? This Spanish thing is here to stay. One just have to turn the radio on and listen to the most popular songs out there nowadays and take a side glance (even with one eye) at the good 'ole US Census Bureau. Yeah. That's what I mean. It's all good folks. "New Rule", and I am not referring to the popular HBO show hosted by Bill Maher either (one I love watching with my sister Jackie).
So today "Aguante' el golpe (blow)!" That is, I withstood the blow of running up and down that Bridge in Fort Luaderdale. That's two Spanish words for the price of one! Oh, and my name is not Dora. I am thankful one of my Team In Training teammates, suggested I take this approach in my training at least once a week. It will condition my body for my upcoming Madrid, Spain, Rock-N-Roll Marathon in April, to promote awareness of the prevalence of blood cancers and help fund the activity of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Also, if I get the chance to run the San Francisco NWM this year again, I would pass that 18 mile mark with grace, confidence, integrity, and my Christianity intact.
OYE! When you are feeling like you just cant put that other foot ahead of the next, Aguanta! Now I am by no means a sadist, so you should know when your action is causing more injury and damage than good. Take this from someone who's suffered a few injuries due to improper running, training, and the likes. If you feel that big ugly red elephant sitting Buddha-style (lotus pose) or your chest, Stop! You should know to contact a health-professional or call 911 and don't "aguanta!" If your right hip popped out of place and you are walking like "Timon El Pajero (a Honduran insider joke)" quit the road and seek the help of a health professional! It might not even be your hip out of place. It could very well be a stroke! We at Running Nurse want to encourage you to break some of the barriers you may have set in your mind keeping you from reaching your fitness goals, but we recognize the individuality of people and their conditions. So be conscious of your particular issues (unstable hips, unstable angina, bad toenails, etc) and do you!
We would like to hear from you. Please feel free to drop us a note, suggestion, or something you would like to post. We are open to all of these. Be Bless!

I had promised a wine review and WOW this one is a WINNER!
I'll let you read what the LCBO had to say about it first:
Tasting Note - Rich and polished, with almost gushing raspberry, boysenberry and blackberry fruit that's harnessed by suave toast, spice and licorice notes. Long, well-rounded finish has nice buried acidity. Drink now through 2010. Score - 91. (James Molesworth, www.winespectator.com, Web Only, 2008)
OK, leave right now and get a bottle (or two) of this wine. We have a great guy that works in the Vintages section of our local LCBO. My Big Man really wanted to try a "Malbec" and so he recommended this wine. Ugh, fantastic, the taste, smell, everything! After each sip I swear could hear Susana softly singing my name begging me to take another sip!
Relaxing Afternoon
This wine would be fantastic all on it's own just as a treat while spending some quality relaxo time by yourself. Would be perfect split between friends.....save it for the one's you really like!

Rapid tax refund loans can promise your tax dollars within 24 hours. But the key word is "loan." That means fees and interest, on your own money.
Greg McBride with BankRate.com said, "Refund anticipation loans come at a high cost for what amounts to getting your own money back sooner. After all, this money that you've lent to Uncle Sam for free over the past year."
The Consumer Federation of America estimates refund anticipation loans cost Americans about $800-million dollars last tax year. But there are ways to avoid a high-interest loan, and still get your money quickly.
"Combine things like e-file with direct deposit to really speed up the time frame," said McBride.
If you plan to use the money for a new home appliance, consider an in-store financing plan that offers free interest for a limited time.
"By the time the bill comes due you will have that tax refund in hand, you can pay that bill off in full and not incur any finance charges."
And to skip the wait next spring, revise the amount withheld from your paychecks now.
"You want to get that money throughout this year, a little bit more this paycheck, rather than having to wait on a big refund check next spring after you've filed your taxes."
You do that by filing a new form W-4 with your employer and claiming more withholding allowances.
So unless waiting ten days or so for your refund will make the difference between losing your home to foreclosure or something equally as drastic, try not to fall for these outrageous offers.

People are increasingly on their own when it comes to providing for their retirement. Pensions are all but unheard of now, outside of the civil service or heavily unionized industries; both employers and the government have increasingly transferred more and more responsibility to the individual worker. When it comes to employer-sponsored plans like 401(k)s, it is vital for workers, savers and investors (and you should see yourself as all three) to make the most they can out of the plans. While there are some differences with other plans like 403(b)s, most of this advice applies fairly well across the major plans in the United States. (For more, check out Common Questions About Retirement Plans.)
TUTORIAL: Retirement Plans
For folks who have the ambition and the financial wherewithal to truly make the most of their 401(k), one of the best ways to begin is by working backwards. Take your maximum allowable contribution (your 401(k) plan documents should make this number relatively clear, or you can ask for help), divide it by the number of pay periods in a year and see where that leaves you.
Can you afford to save this amount? If so, there is not much more that you need to do apart from making the best investment decisions you can within the plan options. If you cannot afford this amount, whittle it down until you can. Clearly, expenses like mortgage or rent payments, utilities and food need to be covered, and it makes little sense to put aside so much that you need to accumulate credit card debt to make it through a month.
Even if you cannot make the maximum contribution, consider supplementing this with any bonuses or profit sharing payments you receive. Many companies will allow you to have these amounts deposited directly into your 401(k), and this is a good idea whenever possible – many good intentions have gone awry once a bonus check is in hand or in the checking account. (For other things you can do to your 401(k), see The Best 401(k) Moves Right Now.)
Above all, try to be consistent. Set a specific per-paycheck amount and do not change it unless you really have to. Likewise, do not try to time the market or curtail contributions just because the economic or political news seems depressing for a while.
If you can, try to save a minimum of 15% of your gross pay. This amount, coupled with reasonable investment returns on those savings, should be sufficient to not only supplement Social Security down the line (in whatever form that remains), but also fund a pretty secure retirement.
Fully exploiting employer matching is one of the most vital strategies in getting the most out of a 401(k) plan. Matching is pretty much exactly what it sounds like – subject to certain rules and limits, your employer will contribute the same amount of money you contribute or a percentage thereof, effectively doubling your retirement savings without decreasing your salary or increasing your tax burden. Many employer matches kick in at 3% of your pay (or higher), so try as hard as you can to at least contribute this much.
Want another reason to max out your employer match? In many cases, employers calculate their costs and base their staffers' salaries on the basis of full matching; if you don't take advantage of this, you're basically handing back free money that you're not going to get back in the form of salary or bonuses.
Some employers will elect to match your contributions in company stock. While this is not always as desirable as straight cash, it shouldn't dissuade you from maximizing your match. In many cases, that stock can be sold and converted to cash within a fairly short period of time and at a reasonable cost. (And don't despair if and When Your Employer Cuts Your 401(k) Match – there are alternatives.)
As part of some employee retirement plans, workers can avail themselves of investment advice from independent professionals. Unfortunately, this advice is rarely free and you may find that you pay 1% to 2% of your funds to get this help.
It's understandable that many workers feel overwhelmed when it comes to calculating their contributions, and then investing that money. Even still, paying for investment advice is a dicey proposition, particularly when it involves a 401(k) plan and investors are given a relatively fixed menu of investment options.
Savers also need to pay careful attention to the costs of the investments they buy within their 401(k). While mutual fund expenses have come down in general over the years, and many fund families offer no-load funds for 401(k) plans, it's still important to compare and contrast the numbers; fees still vary a good deal.
Along similar lines, investors need to be careful with annuities and target date funds. Annuities arguably do not have much of a place in tax-sheltered accounts to begin with (a topic for another day), but their often high expense ratios can eat away at their value over time. Likewise, while target date funds are popular options in many plans, these funds often charge higher fees than normal funds without correspondingly better results. (To help you decide which assets are right for your portfolio, read Pick 401(k) Assets Like A Pro.)
For workers who save some funds in a 401(k) but find that they cannot contribute more because they are saddled with expensive debt, there may be a counter-intuitive option. Most plans have provisions that allow employees to borrow funds from their own account. This money comes relatively free of strings (insofar as what the funds can be used for), and it is possible to use it to pay off high-interest loans or credit card balances. This money does not come free, but the good news is that the interest charged is basically being paid to you.
This is clearly not a risk-free maneuver. That money has to be repaid on time, or the borrower will incur penalties. Moreover, some workers will find that borrowing from their retirement savings is just a little too convenient and opens a Pandora's Box of future trouble. Nevertheless, this can be an effective means of interest arbitrage that can free up more money for savings. It is not a step for everyone, but borrowing low-cost money from a 401(k) in order to repay high-cost credit card debt and ultimately invest even more in the 401(k), can be a prudent step for many. (For more, check out Sometimes It Pays To Borrow From Your 401(k).)
What do you do if you have maxed out your 401(k) or you really hate the investment options offered? In most cases, it is allowable to have an IRA and 401(k) and contribute to both in the same year. The IRA contributions will most likely not be deductible, but the money put aside this way can still accumulate tax-free over decades.
Once you have contributed as much as possible to these tax-sheltered accounts, there are still other ways to save for retirement. People who are lucky to have maxed out their 401(k) or IRAs in a year can consider buying and investing in annuities. There are a lot of problems with annuities – they can carry high sales loads, they typically have high expenses and sponsors have continually transferred more risk to the investor. All of that said, money in an annuity can accumulate without year-to-year taxation, and it is a worthwhile option if protecting even more retirement savings from the taxman is important.
Last, and by no means least, complaining about a deficient plan can be an effective means of improving your options (and those of your co-workers). If you do not like how a plan is organized or the investment options on offer, say so. Keep in mind that many employers choose 401(k) plans on the basis of what is cheapest and most convenient to offer, and they may not even be aware of its deficiencies. While it is true that many workers do not like to be a squeaky wheel, and some companies are certainly apt to be more responsive than others, doing nothing is a pretty good way to ensure that the plan will get no better.
Tax-advantaged retirement savings plans are one of the relatively few boons that the government gives to ordinary workers. Careful savings is not likely to be the gateway to becoming a millionaire or independently wealthy, but it can at least go a long way towards ensuring a more comfortable and desirable retirement. Whatever the specifics on offer to you, be it a 401(k), a 403(b), or an IRA, make sure to contribute as much as you can afford and take full advantage of your opportunity to stock away money for the future.
