While migrating posts from one blog to another, I have inadvertently lost some posts in the following steps: Opened post on the old blog in editing mode Copied and pasted it to a new post on the new blog Somehow, my new posts were lost in the middle of process. Also, I have deleted all posts on the old blog immediately after they were copied. The end result is that I cannot find migrated posts on both the old and new blogs. Here are the approaches I have taken to recover them. Google Cache Google search engine  crawls article posted frequently, indexes them and saves a cache version of the page.  It also keeps on updating it in a timely manner. As described in [1], I have started looking for my lost posts in the " Google cache " first.  This approach works for posts that have been published.   To find deleted blog posts, type the following URL in Google search: Blogger  site: yourblogname.blogspot.com Sites site: sites.google.c...

Figure 1.  Top 10 states in the US with the highest tax burden  As Harry Dent said in his article: Like It Or Not, It's The Democrats' Era And Your Taxes Are Going Up Assuming his prediction is correct, in which state, should a retiree reside to reduce his/her tax burden? State Taxes There are three major state/local taxes to be considered: State income tax Sales /local  tax Property tax In a map, AARP has shown nicely which states do not have income tax, sales tax or taxes on social security . When a state comes to raise its revenues, each could be very different —except in each being heavily dependent on one main source of tax. For example,  Oregon state— which has no sales tax — relies far more heavily on income taxes than any other state (see below chart —click to enlarge). Comparing states for overall tax burden is a bit tricky and sometimes confusing .  Based on different consensus, survey year, methodology used in comp...

Plants need organic matter as well as water, and a fertilization schedule can be helpful to plants growing in our tough North Texas climate. Unfortunately, many homeowners apply the wrong fertilizer, too often, and at the wrong times . This leads to not only an expensive cycle of fertilizer application and mowing for turfgrass, but also creates pollution issues in our creeks and streams. To maximize your benefit from a chemical application, consider the following few suggestions. Use the right chemicals When looking at fertilizer products, keep in mind that the first number on the bag is always nitrogen (N), the second number on the bag is phosphorus (P), and the third number is potassium (K). Our North Texas clay soils are frequently nitrogen-deficient, but usually contain sufficient amounts of phosphorus and potassium. Each yard may have varying deficiencies in available nutrients, as well as potential deficiencies in other micronutrients, such as sulfur. To determine what ...

Qualifying for  Medicare  doesn't mean that your health care costs will be covered.  Fidelity  estimates that  a couple who retires in 2013 will need as much as $240,000 beyond their Medicare coverage  to pay for health care costs in retirement. [1]  So it's crucial to have adequate savings set aside for your retirement. Assuming you have saved good amounts of money in 401(k), let's look at what the options you have when you retire. Key Facts Your 401(k)s— tax-deferred retirement plans —are  before-tax investments  and can  continue to grow tax-free . Companies also often match your contributions up to a limit. For example, the matching contribution from  Oracle  is equal to 50% of your first 6% in 410(k) Contributions. which is capped to $5,100 in 2013. However, you do pay  Social Security ( FICA )  and other employment taxes on your 401(k) contributions. At the time of 401(k) withdrawals, it will be ...

NYSE McClellan Oscillator (Ratio Adjusted) Index (updated on 02/25/2022 ) (Original Article posted on 04/23/2016) As reported in [1], NYSE McClellan Oscillator ($NYMO) has pulled back nicely on 04/21/2016.  So, now it's nowhere near overbought. Figure 1.   NYSE McClellan Oscillator (Ratio Adjusted) Index NYSE McClellan Oscillator ($NYMO) The McClellan Oscillator is a short- to intermediate-term momentum breadth indicator based on Net Advances (advancing issues less declining issues). If it is computed for the NYSE, the oscillator is called $NYMO .  Similarly, $NAMO is computed for the  Nasdaq.  Here we will focus only on $NYMO. The McClellan Oscillator is the 19-day EMA of Net Advances less the 39-day EMA of Net Advances. As the difference between two moving averages, this oscillator has characteristics similar to MACD . Signals can be derived from bullish/bearish divergences, overbought/oversold conditions and centerline crossovers....
