Stephan Cassaday, CEO of Cassaday & Company, Inc., has developed a retirement investment process that he uses to make sure retirees do not outlive their assets by generating a stream of income using a patented process of withdrawing money from reinvested profits.
The process, called DIESEL–which stands for Dividends, Interest, and Equity Select Liquidations–uses mutual funds and reinvests the dividends and interest while selectively liquidating parts of the portfolio and harvesting it for income. Depending on a client's risk tolerance, time horizon, and financial goals, the portfolio offers diversification among four main asset classes: stocks, bonds, hard assets, and cash, according to the McLean, Virginia-based company.
"Diesel is a process for generating cash flow out of a portfolio," says Cassaday, who has been in the financial planning industry for 31 years, having the same group of clients with him for most of that time. Cassaday has been using the system for a little over 10 years and recently trademarked DIESEL last year on the advice of a lawyer. He founded the company in 1993 after working at NYSE member firms for 16 years.
Most of Cassaday's original clients are now retired and need supplemental cash flow. The old way to generate income, Cassaday says, was to take dividends and interest payments from bonds. The problem is that stocks and bonds will go through periods when they have very poor returns and the portfolio is depleted. What's more, having only one to two asset classes won't work either because if you backtest 30 or 50 years, the portfolio ends up getting "mortally wounded" because of withdrawals when returns are low, and sometimes retirees can't recover unless they say, "Okay, I won't eat for a couple of years,'" Cassaday says.
The first order of business for Cassaday is creating a stable platform from all four asset classes from which to make withdrawals with as little volatility as possible. The stocks, bonds, cash, and hard assets–including real estate–include subclasses of value, growth, different types of bonds, and various raw materials. "That is what our [in-house] study showed. Other [industry] studies show similar data," he says. "A portfolio that is mostly bonds is not going to work."
Cassaday performed a study that showed his system could have sustained a 7% withdrawal rate over the prior 30 to 50 years, far above the standard 4% rule advisors stick to. The study used the actual CPI (consumer price index), inflating withdrawals by whatever the CPI was.
"We combine this pruning and harvesting with rebalancing. If you have four asset classes with 25% in each, that is a balanced portfolio. At the end of 90 days it might be at 20%, 30%, 18% and 28%," he explains. "So we go through at the end of each quarter and harvest what is up. We have an algorithm that does that for us." Then Cassaday & Co. takes the harvested amount–the profit–and places it into an account for the clients' incomes. "Then we rebalance it."
If all groups are down, he harvests equal amounts of all four classes. The level of return, though, is secondary to the consistency of performance that a stable portfolio allows.
"No one has ever called me or my associates and said 'I need to increase my withdrawals by the CPI.' The second point is that most people don't ask for raises. We end up calling our clients and saying, 'Do you need a raise?'"
But there are calls for "extraordinary withdrawals," Cassaday concedes. Thus, the advisor tries to get the client in advance to plan for these withdrawals, which many times are for cars, he notes, and amortize that into the clients' budgets.
During the current market crisis, Cassaday didn't change strategy, but is talking with clients on a daily basis and held a Webinar for 250 clients. Its models are diversified and investments in mutual funds are made for the long term, so everyone remained invested, according to a spokeswoman for the firm. Cassaday noted that the portfolios are indeed down–this was before the $700 billion bailout bill was approved–but not half as much as the market was down, as the strategy plans for only experiencing half the downside on the riskiest portfolios. The firm did sell real estate in 2006 and bought it back in April. Cassaday admits the firm should have waited on that, but the system was timely on commodities going up.

Hi all,
Another wedding, another super cute, dapper doggy! I'm pretty sure I've said it before but I am totally in love this idea of having your dog at your wedding. It's happening more and more and it's so fantastic that these little members of your family can be part of your big day.
Jenni found us through Love My Dress Little Book for Brides which is something that we are super proud to be part of. The couple got married last September at the picturesque Maynard at Grindleford. We got to work on a really pretty floral curtain full of little sprigs of flowers which made an incredible back drop for the ceremony. As you know, we totally love a creative challenge and so it's great when we get to work on something a little different, to really make the most of a venue.
For her bouquet Jenni wanted quite a round shape, with a little softness, and quite a muted pastel colour pallet. The flowers T chose were 'Vendella' roses, pale blue hydrangea, blue delphiniums and eucalyptus.
As you will see from the piccies the bridesmaids had a similar design to the bride but slightly smaller. The buttonholes were a traditional focal style with a single rose. The long and low design T put together for the ceremony table was stunning with long trails and just gorgeous seasonal flowers.
Thanks so much to fellow Lightspacer Ellie Grace for the incredible photography. Just scroll down and enjoy!

We Train At The Pub/
How do you treat your workout? Is it a necessary evil that needs to be got through? Is it an escape from everyday life? Are you training or something? Or is it an excuse to hang out with your mates and have a bit of fun, possibly (probably) before heading to the pub?
For me, and I suspect like most people, my workouts are a mixtures of all of the above. However, I know which ones I like the best - the ones where I get to hang out with my friends, doing something we love (or trying something new), possibly with a swift drink or a meal to follow. There's something about working out with people that creates a great atmosphere, and I'm a big believer that the best nights out start with a workout.
A couple of weeks ago I got to chat to a guy called Adrian who's the CEO company called WeTrain. I've mentioned WeTrain here before, and a lot on my social media feeds, but in short it's a company offering small group (no more than 8 people) shared personal training. Adrian explained to me how WeTrain aims to bring the social back into working out, how it's about getting your mates together, having fun and then heading to the pub. Basically it's all about my favourite workout!
Knowing that I'm a yoga bunny in training, the team at WeTrain suggested I check out their Bloody Mary Yoga class on a Saturday morning - a sweaty dynamic class led by Gandha Savio, and conveniently located in a pub so you can have a drink afterwards. If you've never dabbled in mixing your social life with fitness it's a pretty good place to start.
This class was a real treat, Gandha is a great teacher, and because there was just two of us in class (yes, TWO!) she was able to really help us get the most out of our practice. It was amazing to have the full attention of a teacher for a whole class. It also meant that Gandha was able to really tailor the class to our needs so that it served us well. I can't stop saying it, but it was amazing. If you've never had near one-on-one yoga teaching before you should, it's great, really great.
After class we headed down to the bar for, predictably, a Bloody Mary (well actually a Virgin Mary for me, I had stuff to do that afternoon) and a natter. It was lovely to get to know Gandha and Ana better over a drink. Imagine it, what could be nicer than yoga and a drink with your friends? In fact, if 8 of you got together you could have a class all to yourselves! (WeTrain classes never have more than 8 people in them).

Thinking Documentary at GSU: Peter Forgács screening with Bill Nichols and Michael Renov/
Georgia State University's College of Arts and Sciences, and Department of Communication, would like to invite you to a very special Documentary Symposium on October 19th and 20th, 2013. The Film Production and Moving Image Studies programs will bring the internationally acclaimed Hungarian filmmaker Peter Forgács to present and discuss his rarely screened films Freefall and The Maelstrom.

Joining in the panel discussions will be Associate Professor Jennifer Barker from Georgia State University and Assistant Professor Vinicius Navarro from Georgia Tech.
The screenings & panel discussions
Saturday, October 19, 2pm GSU campus, Kopleff Recital Hall
Sunday, October 20, 1pm GSU campus DAEL Theater:
Admission: FREE
For more information contact Daniel Robins: email@example.com
From Cinema's Alchemist:
"Over the past twenty years, Peter Forgács has created more then thirty films. Most of these films examine the private histories of European families, from the Nazi era of the 1930s and 1940s to the Communist era of the postwar period. The home movies from which he compiles his films are by people who don't know what the future will be but who now offer their images to those who know what the past has been. . . . Forgács has reshaped home-movie footage, originally intended for the private and personal use of very few, into extraordinary films, intended for the general public and dedicated to remembering the past in ways that matter for our future. His achievement is a form of alchemy, transforming the dross of home movies into the gold of social history and philosophical meditation."

We strongly recommend that you see your faculty advisor at least once every academic year. We help you in scheduling the sequence of courses and advise you in the selection of electives. Because some courses are offered in alternating years, it is important to plan ahead. If you don't have a faculty advisor yet or don't know who that is, contact Dr. Tania Anders, Geology Program Coordinator (office in CS 202).
Go to the following links for the catalogue description of the program, the two-year listing of courses, the 4 Year Matriculation Guide, and the class schedule for the current semester.
Field camp: Geology majors have to attend a summer field camp as their capstone course. Here is a link to a list of field camps that are open to outside students. An excellent camp is also that of the University of New Mexico (deadline May 6). Additional printed announcements are found on the geology bulletin board on the second floor of the Center for the Sciences.
Staying informed: Subscribe to the Geology Student Listserv by requesting to be added to the geoclub - Geology Club listserv. send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to do so. This is our official electronic bulletin board. It is used to communicate useful, timely updates about geology internships, jobs, scholarships, seminars, A&M-Corpus Christi geology courses, and general news to you via email. Announcements may include important changes to the course schedule. Please check your e-mail regularly.
Are you considering working for a petroleum company? If so, read this survey of eighty-eight national and international companies--this is what they want to see in your résumé. Note the trend toward requiring a Masters degree. A Masters degree is generally not required for work in geotechnical and environmental consulting.
Many states, including Texas, require a professional license for many types of professional work in geosciences (exceptions are in the oil and gas business and in research or when supervised by a licensed geoscientist). Licensing is administered by the American Institute of Professional Geologists (AIPG) and state sections such as the AIPG-Texas. Licensing requires work experience, an exam, and specific academic course work (see the application form for a list of these courses).
Here are some links for websites with job ads in the geosciences:

This is without a doubt one of the best displays of the Northern Lights we have ever witnessed!
The story behind this image is one of patience & determination. On a very clear night a few weeks back we took a gamble. The weather in the Arctic Circle is often undesirable & unpredictable, but we decided to take the 3 hour return hike up the mountain in hope of capturing even a brief moment of the green ladies appearance.
We waited for almost 6 hours in minus 30 degrees. At one stage we both lost feelings in our hands & we almost threw in the towel, but we persevered & all of sudden…this happened.

Bernanke Wins New Term
Fed Chief on Shaky Footing After Confirmation Fight; Tough Calls Ahead on Rates
Ben Bernanke won the backing of the Senate for a second four-year term as chairman of the Federal Reserve by a comfortable margin Thursday. Even with that storm behind him, Mr. Bernanke faces formidable political and economic challenges made tougher by the bruising confirmation fight.
Weeks of criticism from Congress—and moments during which his confirmation prospects seemed uncertain—have weakened Mr. Bernanke's political standing. That may make it harder for him to defend the Fed as Congress prepares to intensify its oversight...

At the end of 1st grade, we went to the zoo.
Mom came with us and brought Cooper
I got an award in 1st grade.
I was one of the top 3 kids in my class.
I even got a Target gift card with it.
I played soccer again.
This was my favorite year yet!
Summer started and I was so excited to have a break from school.
We went on a couple hikes with dad and mom.
And then we headed to Seattle to spend the next 7 weeks.
The first thing we did...was celebrate Mandy getting married.
It was a pretty fun day!
Then we played...
We spent a few days with Grandpa Jones on his boat.
Then we spent a week with mom's family for the Jones Family Reunion.
We spent a day in Seattle.
Went to a flight museum.
Spent a day on the Olympic Peninsula.
We went to this cool game farm where you drive through and the animals come up to your car and you can feed them. Dad was really the only one that fed them..
For the 4th of July the whole Jones family spent the day at Uncle Kyle's swimming and playing.
And then Uncle Kyle and Grandpa put on the best firework show right above our heads.
The last day of the reunion we celebrated Great-Grandma Jones' 90th birthday.
I really love her!
After the reunion we kept doing fun things.
We went on the duck tour in Seattle.
We got to quack like a duck and see all the cool parts of Seattle.
We went to the Space Needle.
and hiked to this really cool waterfall.
Dad came and went from Seattle. On one of his trips to see us we spent the day at Mt. Rainier with Grandpa Jones and Grandma Mim. The mountain is so cool!
And we spent lots of time at the beaches around where mom grew up.
We also got to have lunch inside the space needle.
The restaurant spins around so you get to see everything.
It was so cool!
There was one sad thing that happened while we were there.
Mom's bike and my bike got stolen.
We had gone on a bike ride by the super mall and after we went into the mall to get mom a new helmet and an ice cream treat. When we came back out to the car someone had cut the cable that locked our bikes to the car and took our bikes. It was a very sad day.
Since we had a big bike trip planned with Grandpa Jones, dad bought us new bikes.
I was pretty excited about mine.
On mom's birthday we took our bikes and rode on a couple different ferries to ride our bikes on the San Juan islands.
We started on Lopez Island and rode our bikes to this really cool beach.
Then we rode another ferry to the San Juan Island to Friday Harbor.
We had lunch there and then rode to another awesome beach.
It was a super fun day...tiring...but super fun!
The last week we were there to did a few more fun things.
We went to the children's museum...
and the zoo...
And then our trip came to a close.
Our last day in Seattle we celebrated Keith's wedding.
And then it was time to go home.
It was a super fun summer filled with so many fun activities.
I was sad to leave Seattle but excited to be back home and to see my friends.

When I reflect on this year one of the highlights is a road trip to Ste. Anne's spa that I took with my mom and three sisters in celebration of my mom's 60th birthday. Two of my sisters were pregnant at the time (they've since each given birth to a healthy boy) and it was the ultimate getaway to connect as sisters, daughters, mothers and girlfriends.
We stayed in a lovely cottage just off the main building which was more than perfect for our group of five. The grounds were enchanting and every walk was a vision. Decadent spa services and a delicious menu were rainbows on top of sunshine and worthy of a post all of their own.
So what to wear to the St. Anne's? The dress code is casual and robes are even encouraged in the dining room (though not for dinner). I went with simple loungewear separates, like stretchy cottons and breezy linen paired with Birkenstock sandals - which were perfect for short hikes, dinner and comfortable enough to slip away to the spa in between.
We've never been busier – motherhood, work, social life are constantly competing for our attention, Ste. Anne's was moment to pause, reconnect with one another and ourselves. A getaway that none of us will forget.

WASHINGTON — The Commerce Department has lost more than 1,100 laptop computers since 2001, most of them assigned to the Census Bureau, officials said Thursday night.
The Census Bureau, the main collector of information about Americans, lost 672 computers. Of those, 246 contained some personal data, the department said in a statement. However, no data from any missing computer has been known to have been improperly used, the department said.
"All of the equipment that was lost or stolen contained protections to prevent a breach of personal information," said Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez.
More than 30,000 laptops were used within the department's 15 operating unit since 2001, the department said, and a total of 1,137 were stolen or missing.
Fifteen handheld devices used to record survey data for testing processes in preparation for the 2010 Census also were lost, the department said. The department was in the process of contacting the 558 households with data recorded on the missing devices, although because of encryption technology, the risk of data misuse was considered low, it said.
A half-dozen other federal agencies or departments have reported data thefts and security breaches involving personal information in the last six months.
The Veterans Affairs Department suffered the biggest loss with the theft in May of a laptop and external drive containing information for 26.5 million veterans and active-duty troops.
Burglars stole the equipment from the home of a Veterans Affairs employee, but the computer was later recovered and showed no signs of having been accessed for the personal data.
Other government departments reporting the loss of computers with personal information include the departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services and Transportation. The Federal Trade Commission also has lost laptops with sensitive data.

Twenty-two new plots are ready for enthusiastic new allotment holders to start spring planting with the opening of the Bucks Meadow extension at Paddock Road Allotments on Friday.
Some current Paddock Road allotment enthusiasts joined Councillor Peter Taylor, Portfolio Holder for Parks and Open Spaces, to see the plots for themselves and to have a go at planting some early crops. They also took the opportunity to take a look at the two new community cabins that are now in place on the site to provide somewhere for the allotment community to use for events and other activities. Developed as part of the council's commitment to maintaining allotment spaces in Watford, Bucks Meadow extension offers greater access to the idyllic Paddock Road site.
Situated in a truly picturesque area, and with other onsite amenities including parking and toilets and even a small shop where you can stop off for seeds, Paddock Road allotments are ideal for a family day out or for sneaking off for a little peace and quiet.
Councillor Taylor said: "The benefits of gardening to health and wellbeing are undisputed and it is great to see these new plots ready and waiting for their first tenants.
"The active community at Paddock Road allotments is very welcoming and there is always someone ready to admire the fruits of your labour or to offer a little advice when asked. It's a terrific space for families to spend time together but the serious gardener will also be more than satisfied with the high quality plots we have available.
"If you'd like to put your green fingers to the test it's well worth venturing out here."
Individual plots are available at many of the borough's allotments, simply search for 'allotments' on the council website for details: contact Veolia, who manage allotments on behalf of the council, on 0203 567 6900.

Eating well on a budget
How to stretch a chicken
It's a bit of a push but we have managed to make one whole chicken go five ways. First cut your chicken into pieces using Celia Hay's step-by-step guide. Use the carcass to make this easy chicken stock. Any meat that may still be on the bone once the stock is made could be shredded for sandwiches. The breasts can go a long way stuffed with a cream cheese, spinach, parmesan and wasabi mix and served with peanut slaw. Legs and wings can be given the Fijian curry treatment – halving the recipe to just serve two. The chicken stock can be transformed in to myriad soups such as a hearty bowl of ramen.
Impress for less
Here are a set of family meals that are good enough for company that you can get on the table for approximately $20. All supplied by you, our talented readers. (Pictured: braised beef cheek, wild mushrooms and caramelised onion)
Leftover sausage salad
Transform those leftover sausages from the weekend's barbecue in to a midweek salad.
Food for flatties
Pack students or those off flatting with Geoff Scott's recipes for courgette and sausage pie (photographed on top of the page), super easy vegetarian curry and self-saucing chocolate microwave pudding (both photographed below).
Super easy vegetarian curry and microwave chocolate self-saucing pudding.
Back to basics
- Everyone needs a basic tomato sauce recipe for pasta and pizza. Ray McVinnie shows how easy it is in his how-to video.
- Mussel fritters are also an economical way to serve seafood.
- Make your favourite basic cake and pour it over seasonal fruit for a baked pudding.

Iraq nears oil output capacity of 5 mln bpd, says committed to OPEC cuts
ABU DHABI, Jan 13 (Reuters) - Iraqi Oil Minister Jabar al-Luaibi said on Saturday that the OPEC member's oil output capacity is near reaching 5 million barrels per day, but the country will remain in full compliance with its output target under a global pact to cut supplies.
Luaibi, who was speaking at an industry conference in Abu Dhabi, also said that his ministry plans to conclude three contracts with international gas companies by mid-2018 to utilize gas from the south of the country.
He said that by 2021, the country plans to "reach zero gas flaring".
Iraq is forced to flare some of the gas produced alongside crude oil as it lacks the facilities needed to capture and process it into usable fuel. (Reporting by Rania El Gamal; editing by Alexander Smith)
