American Airlines Staffer Refuses To Let Me Fly Twice In One Day
Best comment of all of them... TSA can only make a determination on whether it can be used for passing security and boarding the flight, CBP makes the determination as to whether it's valid for reentry and each country can set its own rules for admission based on the passport and can reject you for any reason (machine readability would be likely high on that list).
Having been in and out of the UK a couple dozen times on a US passport, I can assure you that the UK Border Agency takes passport rules very seriously. I can't speak for the state of either passport, or which page/section the tear was on, but another poster was also right in saying that the airline could be fined and responsible for return to point of origin if the passenger was rejected by the Border Agency. I was almost rejected by Germany once on entry because I only had two valid blocks left in my passport, but the Dutch just stamped the exit on a page with six other stamps because there was space. YMMV. Broadly.
As it says in the passport itself, these things are important citizenship documents and should be treated as such. You can't blame the aviation industry if you and your dog don't feel the same way. I'm just glad that I wasn't behind this person entering the UK.
One Man Explains Why He Stopped Contributing To His 401(k)
There's also the fact that a Roth IRA maxes out at $5-6K a year (depending on age), whereas a 401(k) maxes at $16,500-22K (again, on age). For those maximizing savings, employer plans are far better for mass savings.
However, I miss how the Roth has more flexibility... I can adjust from 1 to 100% of my salary into my 401(k) without withdrawing for the year. I assume the OP's plan doesn't allow for changes in the contribution?

I'm sure they're opposed to the individual mandate, but go to the emergency room when they get sick.
AT&T U-Verse Sends NHL Network To Penalty Box
Stick ALL the sports channels into a separate tier, regardless of its content, so I can exile it from my cable bill once and for all. The FCC should ban mandatory tier assignments entirely so that I no longer have to bear the cost of content I will never consume and accounts for such a large percentage of our cable bill.

Adventures In Ordering A Clearanced HP TouchPad
Not really. If you're cutting it that close to the done, perhaps you shouldn't blow your available credit on a discontinued tablet that, in all senses of the word, is a luxury purchase you could likely live without.
I appreciate chasing the deal--and I am, myself, 2 for 4--but I'd never put my own emergency fund or credit availability at risk over something like this.

If you don't have enough money to buy two, you probably don't have enough money to buy one.
Costco's Lifetime Return Policy Only Applies To Actual Members
It's an idiotic sense of entitlement like this that will one day end Costco's generous return/exchange policy. You passed the useful life of your luggage... anyone trying to claim that the handle on a ten-year old piece of luggage resulted from a manufacturer's defect, which is what most luggage warranty covers, should be banned from membership.
