Your platform has some powerful features that deserve careful study to master, and that takes time. The many training videos do help. I have had some good results so far. Overall, Tradespoon is a valuable addition to my set of tools and a good complement to Think or Swim.

I look forward to better utilizing your tools!
And for what it's worth, your company offers much more for your customers in the way of tools and service proportional to the price, than any other firm with the same business offerings.
Because of this, you are the only company I feel satisfied enough to pay for another years subscription!
Thank you!

I placed the following trade yesterday before close.
JPM 85.5 Call expiry today stock @ $85.59
Option Cost 49 cents
I sold the option a few moments ago @ 95 cents, Stock @ $86.48
Profit of 46 cents relative to the 49 cents purchase price
Generates a return of almost 94% in one day.
I checked the 10 day prediction on JPM before placing the trade and it successfully predicted an increase close to $1
I purchased 2 contracts
I kind of think this is what tradespoon is about.
We are off to a winning start.
I protected my investment capital of $98, paid $29.90 commissions
Made a profit after commissions of $62.10

I wanted to pass the following information to you from Nora and myself. I got her to sign up with you a couple weeks after I signed up.
In the past month, (November), we have taken 20 stocks that we follow on a daily basis to see how well your program works
Here are the following results
Number stocks that triggered: 151
Number of stocks that were profitable: 143
Number losing stock trades: 8
I want to thank you for this tool to trade with. I have traded sine 1988 and never have I found an indicator (95%) that provides this kind of results. I have had many of the traders in the trading room I belong ask me if they can buy my picks. I explain ( as I cannot promote another firm in this room) that it is a private software that I can not sell.
Thomas H.
Member since August 2016
Since Monday 11/14/2016 the stock alert has had 36 triggering trades, 35 winners 1 loser
Thank You for your help in explaining to Nora and myself how to read the stock alert nightly tool. Once we had that we have had nothing but winners.

Your FX Forecaster is very impressive, have also had very accurate results on stocks also. On a live test account, took from 10K USD to 25K in 2 days trading the GBPUSD.
I'm that impressed am showing it to my colleague next week who will also sign up.

I have been a premium member for about 1 month to the day. I have followed T.S. recommendations on 5 trades and very pleased to say my portfolio was up over $7,500 in July. All 5 trades were winners! Thank you!
Made another great trade today on AMAT, thanks Vlad! Very educational and profitable. Thanks and keep the great picks coming :-)
P.S. I have been actively trading for 15+ years and have tried at least 5 systems, all with poor results so needless to say I was skeptical of Tradespoon but not any more.

Hello Vlad, just to let you know that for the first time I have put 2 of the trade you placed in the trading room AAPL & AMAT and won on both of them, thank you! I appreciate this service and specially when I can follow your steps in live. Thank you for this service.

I thought that the webinar was a good use of my time.
I have attended a few Tradespoon webinars, and I enjoy learning first-hand from Vlad. I definitely plan to attend some future webinars to learn more about Tradespoon and Vlad's trading techniques.
Also, I have been using the Tradespoon tools on a daily basis and find them to be very useful.

I truly appreciate your use of algorithms in stock prediction.
It was an important factor in my deciding to subscribe to Tradespoon.
Keep up the good work.
I find Bulls Without Earnings very helpful as I then do not have to be concerned with dividend days.
Trading using algorithms is the strategy of the future.
It's a trading strategy with great potential.

I am pleased to say that I am very impressed with your software, service & educational aspects of Tradespoon. Vlad was Avery helpful this morning and I rate him "the best" yet.
I have completed my trading education with many different sources, including Optionetics, Online Trading Academy & Dale Wheatley, and a few others, but I was immediately impressed with Vlad's personal communication and abilities.
I am looking forward to using your software in my daily trading activities.

I appreciate the clarity and can understand why you need to explain this - don't worry, this is one happy customer!!! I have created my own tracking spreadsheet to ensure I am entering and exiting appropriately and after running my numbers have confirmed a profit equal to my monthly salary prior to going on extended sick leave - amazing!
Happy holidays to you and your family also, very much looking forward to continuing with Tradespoon in the new year :)

First i would like to thank you for this excellent service.This is the best service that i have experienced that are actually producing very good picks.A lot more winners than losers.Please keep up the good work.Your free trial gave me a chance to see if this service will match my goals.I think that it will.My goals are to to trade options full time.At some point i want to quit my job and do this full time.So far i think this is what i have been looking for.I am going to give it a try for a full year and see how everything works.I can honestly say that if things keep going in the direction it is presently going i will keep this service forever.I have listen to you talk on the radio about your service and everything you have said about the retail traders is correct.I am not a newby to trading option but i am certainly not a expert,so i would like for you to keep it simple the way you presently are doing it.This makes it easier for me to trade.I don't think their is another service out there that can match or beat tradespoon at this point.Whatever you are doing to pick the winners please keep it up.
Thank you.

I'm not much for enrolling for memberships for Stock/Option tips (everyone has the "perfect" trading method: for a price!); but after trying your 15-day free trial, I realized Tradespoon gave me exactly what I wanted: a daily option spread suggestions that I can put on every morning in a pretty automated way. Now I can setup my trade either later in the evening or early in the AM and when I get home I can see if it was taken and review all my current trades; as I said above this is "exactly what I needed"! Looking forward to some great trading! Keep up the great work!
I must say October was a good month! Looking forward to an equally great November.

I really like your service. You make good ideas much easier to evaluate. Difficult to go long with ideas when the market is correcting. Short ideas are welcome when institutions are distributing stock.
Thanks for your good efforts. Your free trial made a big difference in my decision to subscribe to the service. Thank you for that. Much continued success.

ANOTHER great pick Vlad !!! WOW! But this was the first spread that truly went past expectations and I went to seek max amt- even less-@ 1.6 and the stock had gone thru the target! Anyway thanx so much for this pick u nailed it yet again!
Mike D.
Member since April 2013
Tradespoon is new and I like them for their simplicity. They have only one pick a day and multiple research reports to back them up. Many times they send out the next day's pick the night before, I love that. Keep up the good work.

Trade Barriers
November 24, 2003
President Bush has shown incredibly poor judgment in trade policy ever since taking office, says Bruce Bartlett. His steel tariffs backfired by costing more jobs in steel-using industries than were saved among producers, and its budget-busting agricultural subsidies doomed a multilateral trade agreement. Now he is making the same mistake with new trade restrictions on imports of some Chinese textiles.
A new report from Consumers for World Trade quantifies the impact of trade barriers on American families, concluding that the cost of protection is quantitatively large and impacts most heavily on those with low incomes.
- In the aggregate, both tariffs and quotas add about 6 percent to all the goods we buy, but because low-income families buy more of the things that import restrictions affect, they pay more.
- Minorities are estimated to pay 6.9 percent more on average and single parent households pay 7.5 percent more.
- Every family would get the equivalent of a $238 per year tax cut if all import restrictions were abolished, according to the report.
- It notes that "tariffs are highest on the goods important to the poor." For example, a tariff of 48 percent is applied to sneakers costing $3 or less.
- This means that poor people, the ones most likely to buy such shoes, pay $4.79 instead of $3.23, which is what they would sell for without the tariff.
Another problem with trade protection is that it invites retaliation. The day after the U.S. textiles decision, China canceled a trade mission to the United States that probably would have led to billions of dollars of orders for American goods, says Bartlett.

Advance robotic technologies are breaking the realm of movies. Will the human fate be same as in the movies, ultimately giving in to the machine rule? We don't know that. However, we do know that humans are getting to the "Real Steel "era. Perhaps not in boxing arena but other games, though still part human.
Recently, the Augsburg-based robot and automation company KUKA has signed the German table tennis player Timo Boll as brand ambassador in China. He is considered a legend in table tennis and has visited china more than 60 times. For the factory's grand opening in shanghai, he would take on a robot in table tennis in an event on 11th March 2014.
The company has ruled the technology world for over a decade now. The robot arm manufactured is fast, agile, precise and reliable. They are part of a new robot line namely KUKA's small robots. This series will be used for small payloads of 6 kg and 10 kg. It is speculated to be unique in providing the best human-machine interaction and changing the face of automation.
Can it match the human brain and expertise of the best player in his game? It is yet to be seen. The ultimate duel could either be a game changing event for the company or just might tarnish its repute. If the robot win against Timo Boll, the company would prove the hard work they put in it. Tim Boll may have to live with the title "The Legend lost by a robot".

CULLOWHEE, N.C. (February 16, 2017) – Behind a balanced team effort on Thursday night the ETSU Women's Basketball team cruised to a 72-55 victory over Western Carolina to improve their overall record to 15-11 and 7-4 in Southern Conference play.
As a team, the Buccaneers shot 46 percent from the field, 45.6 percent from three and 67.7 percent the free-throw line. The blue and gold collected 32 points in the paint while scoring 16 points off of 17 Catamount turnovers.
Leading the way offensively was the duo of senior Shamauria Bridges (Miramar, Fla.) and sophomore Raven Dean (Charlotte, N.C.) who each had a game-high 18 points. The Bucs had four players scored in double figures with Bridges and Dean each having 18 along with junior Tianna Tarter (Johnson City, Tenn.) pouring 13 points and sophomore Carley Lytton (Floyd, Va.) recording 12 points off the bench.
Bridges scored in double figures for the eighth straight game while Dean has now posted four straight double digit point performances. From the three-point line Bridges went 2-of-5 against the Catamounts, moving her total to 76 three's made on the season. Her 76 three's ranks as fifth most in a single season in ETSU history.
Eight of Dean's 18 points came from the free-throw line as she made a career-high eight free-throws on a career-high 13 attempts. The sophomore forward also registered six rebounds in 23 minutes of play.
All-American candidate junior Tianna Tarter (Johnson City, Tenn.) provided a full stat line of 13 points along with seven rebounds, four assists and two steals. Tarter has scored in double figures in nine straight games and is eight points away from becoming the first ETSU player since 2010 to record 500 points in a season.
Off the bench the blue and gold scored 16 points with 12 points coming from sophomore Carley Lytton (Floyd, Va.). Lytton scored 10 of her 12 points in the second half going 5-of-8 from the field.
The victory marks the third straight year in which the Bucs have recorded at least 15 victories along with clinching a winning record on the road for the first time since 2014. ETSU will play their final road game of the regular season on Saturday, Feb.18 versus UNCG.
It was a slow start for both teams as ETSU took a slim 6-4 lead into the first media timeout as the Bucs and Catamounts went a combined 5-of-17. Out of the media timeout, the blue and gold embarked on a 12-3 run to grab their first double digit lead of the game.
Midway through the second quarter, ETSU was out to their largest lead of the first half at 16 after rattling off a 26-12 run over 10 minutes of play. Western Carolina banked in a three-pointer as the clock hit zero's as ETSU took a 34-21 lead into halftime.
Western Carolina cut the lead to 11 at the 7:13 mark of the third quarter but that was the closest the Catamounts got as ETSU once again embarked on a run scoring four straight points. At the end of the third, Lytton knocked down a floater in the lane to take a 50-33 lead into the fourth.
Highlighting the fourth quarter was Raven Dean who midway through quarter scored nine straight points to extend the Buccaneer lead to 20. ETSU and Western Carolina each scored 22 points in the fourth quarter as the blue and gold came away victorious, 72-55.

A link is a link. I have a site that has no links from blogs and it's doing very well in Google, lots of page ones for different keywords. And then if you compare blogs vs. what people call a regular website, blogs have an even higher instance of spam. If you have good links from good places regardless of what they are, is what counts. Point being, you don't need links from blogs to do well in the search engines but of course links from blogs or wherever are going to help.

2002 Volkswagen Jetta (15 Reviews)
I bought my car from a private owner and my car has many problems like it ac fans or need new front fan both of them, needs a transmission,need passenger Door handle, needs abs ligth repair, brake fluid have be flush out, left signal light need to be repair, Driver side bearing need repair,driver side door handle need be repair. inside fabric needs be replace. front windshield needs be replace.What I know I Love my car once you get things fix repair they work wonderful. I got the AC fix i turn the ac on it is Ice Cold in my car and i have too sometimes turn the AC off because I am cold or freezing in my car and the more I get things fix the better the car drive.Most repairs price ranges at $200.00 dollars to $300.00 dollars a repair. So if you do not like spending this kind of money on car repair do not buy this car.
i stumbled onto my jet and was very happy until a few days of driving . the car had 67,000 miles on it but it has many problems, it uses oil ,the speedometer fluctuates so i cant use the cruise controll .the ac fan wont work , the check engine light stays on even if you fix the problem . broken interior plastic, the suspension sqeeks ,and it smells like crayons when it is hot outside .how did this car become so popular ? i now have 84.000 miles on it and am looking to ditch it.
I have a 2002 Jetta 1.8t, it's been chipped since birth, turbo upgrade, way above stock horse, and runs perfict. I guess some get lemons and some don't.
I have a 6 cylinder wagon with sport suspension/package. At 80K it started making a noise at idle, like a chka-chka-chka-chka fast, not real loud. I mentioned it before an oil change today and the mechanic heard it as well. Said it's the upper chain drive that is slipping and can cause serious engine damage if not fixed. To get to it requires removing the transmission so while they're in there may as replace the clutch, and check the cooling system. Now it's at 90K miles and I feel like I'm driving a ticking time bomb, it's over 2 grand to repair, but I will do it because I'm not up for buying someone else's problem when I've maintained it for ten years.
Ughhh, where do I begin.. So I bought my used 2002 VW jetta from the Hawthorne dealership for $5000 cash, they told me it ran perfect, nothing was wrong with it, I loved it when I bought it...So that was a month ago, I had my fiance change the oil, and when he looked under the car everything was totally rusted, and there was chunky oil and fluid all dried up all over under the car.. It is an automatic, and all of a sudden when i try to leave to go anywhere, my car wont shift, it stays in first and will not go into second and just rev's the RPM so high, so I have to pull over and let my car warm up for about 10 more minutes, very embarressing, and now they say there is nothing they can do about it, im a single mom and this totally sucks, cause it is so exspensive...
I bought my Jetta used with 125k miles on it . who ever had it never took care of it . it's engine at idle sounds like a old tractor, but runs like a race car , very zippie . the water pump went out , the plastic impeller broke . I found a new water pump with metal impeller at my local NAPA store and Gates makes a timing belt kit . it was using oil when I bought it and I changed it to the10w 30 snythetic blend and my oil use dropped from 1qt in 5k miles to 4 oz in 5 k miles . I am very happy with this car now. I put a few dollars into it but feel it will go for another 125k miles before I retire it . any car is as good as the care and maintence given it .
Made in Mexico- windows fall down because of cheap glue meant to hold glass in the guide mechanism. fake chrome on shifter peeled off.Armrest clip broke -cheap. Seat adjust round lever broke off-cheap design. Transmission is terrible terrible crap.Stereo - AMFM antenna gone and knobs broke off -cheap knobs. Lights burn out fast brake etc. -cops love to pull you over so have your license and regi ready.
Love my car, bu the poor thing is falling apart. I just got a new key reader and dash cluster (dash computer)... this is only the beginning. I love her so much though!
I have a 2002 VW jetta 1.8T. Have already put in another motor.Now the sorry thing has a leak somewhere.All the antifreeze blowed out of it all over the hood,engine and wherever else it could go. Try to put water in it just to see where the leak is coming from. The water will not stay in the reservoir. It cranks but won't keep water or antifreeze in it long enough to see where the leak is. This car costs too much to keep running. I won't buy another one.
Ok i got this 2002 jetta 1.8T and it makes this loud knocking noise when I'm sitting but when i start to drive it stops WTF???
Love my car but she costs me a fortune!
i like it, just dont know where i could it fixed if anything were to go wrong
just had problems with engine studdering turns out vw doesnt like e3 sparkplugs and the electrical system SUCKS
The car burns an excessive amount of oil (a quart every week or two). There are many problems wrong with the electrical system, recently the brakelights turn on by themselves after the car is shut off and it has killed the battery.
- Body style with low clearance front bumper is easy to tear off and not easy to repair
- Interior hardware is flimsy. Passenger and driver side chairs have both broken in the past. Dashboard knobs have fallen off.
- The car has its own smell that has changed over time. Friends have told me my car smells like crayons (especially when it's hot outside), and that it could be due to the disintegration of the tint glue.
- For the most part, the car has been reliable in the areas where it really counts
- I like the Monsoon default sound system
- It's small and nimble and is easy to park and drive

Residency is a four-part weekly journal entry brought to you by one of our favorite artists every month.
In her third week as April's Artist Resident, Boston's Emily Reo explores North Carolina and the many creative communities that lie within its rich walls.
Why hello lovelies, it's fantastic to see you again! This week's journey finds us traveling to the heart of the East Coast to some of the most beautiful views and smiles I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. We'll begin our tour in a very special place called Asheville, and afterwards (if you're feeling adventurous) we can expand our boundaries to various towns all over North Carolina!
On my very first tour in May of 2010, we traveled the East Coast and stopped in Asheville. Living most of my life in Florida (which is geographically flat) I had no recollection of what mountains looked like. I remember looking out the window of the Attached Hands tour van (affectionately called The Pickle) and the Blue Ridge Mountains suddenly coming into view after turning a corner (I'll spare you the bit about how I was listening to Everest by Ratatat in headphones, resulting in all sorts of *emotions* and *feelings*). Needless to say, Asheville had cemented itself into a special place in my heart even prior to our few days spent playing shows, hiking and exploring the town.
In May of 2012 I was lucky enough to visit Asheville a second time. On the way to Total Bummer 3D, my pals Noah Klein (Cuddle Formation), Jordan Lee (Mutual Benefit), Cameron Potter (Little Spoon) and I booked a mini-tour down the East Coast, which somehow ended up consisting only of dates in North Carolina. Upon visiting each place, we realized there was a reason these special communities were so accepting towards us and helpful in making our journey down south.
Departing from Brooklyn, Asheville was our first stop of the tour. We left immediately after I got home from work and drove 14 hours through the night. Around 7am, we watched the sun rise and stopped to stretch in a flower covered mountainside field somewhere in Tennessee. Around 9am, two strangers (who were soon to be friends) let us into their home. These new friends were Christian Church and Alisha Torrealba, the brains behind one of my favorite bands Alligator Indian. As if finding us a place to play wasn't kind enough, Christian and Alisha let us rest, eat and shower in their home, then proceeded to introduce us to their town (and more importantly, the community they had begun to grow inside of it).
A few months later while sitting in the grass at McKibbin Park anxiously awaiting the first day of FMLY Fest Brooklyn to begin, Alisha and Christian began to tell me about the collective they had started called SWAMPING. Alisha explained that the goal behind SWAMPING was "to create a local support system and exposure for artists lacking an outlet." In the spirit of sharing, SWAMPING has released three compilations of experimental Asheville based artists called New Weird Asheville, all available for free. In addition to their online presence, SWAMPING Presents provides Asheville with various types of multimedia events hosted in venues that wouldn't normally be exposed to the mediums offered. These unique events include Sunaural Summer (featuring various types of performance art including comedy, theatre and dance), Dads Don't Dance (an outlet for dancing featuring a collaboration of local DJs and projections) and Haunted Days (a two-day festival showcasing only local acts, simultaneously planned during Moog Fest as a response to their lack of local representation).
As if Alisha, Christian & friends haven't given enough to Asheville through SWAMPING, they've begun to utilize the YMI Cultural Center (a historic building with a primary interest in promoting interculturalism and equal respect among all ethnicities) to provide a living, breathing creative space for their community. This space is called Apothecary, and through their clearly articulated mission they explain their purpose of partnering with creative folks, free thinkers and collectives to provide Asheville with a safe haven to host events of all kinds, or as they eloquently stated, "cultivate growth through artistic and aesthetic experience." The Apothecary crew have given some insight into their inspiration for opening their doors to the community. In a town that faces the same challenges we see where many DIT collectives are beginning to arise (i.e. our friends at DITEC), Asheville's venues mostly cater towards a 21+ demographic, taking advantage of a tourism industry largely rooted in local breweries. Additionally, the granola aesthetic Asheville has formed a reputation around makes it much easier for musicians to play shows if their music is folksy and accessible, rather than the more experimental sounds a sect of the community is forming through electronics and modular synthesis. Apothecary provides a space for people of all ages to interact and experience creativity in every form—a space to educate the community, not exclusively entertain tourists in passing.
Apothecary has hosted an astounding list of events, with the creativity and diversity I hope to one day experience within a community where I reside. Their inspirational repertoire has included a workshop entitled Make Noise, where Robert A.A. Lowe (of Lichens) and Richard Devine shared insight regarding modular synthesis, an Art Run, which is a jog between various galleries in response to Asheville's Art Walk (which requires payment to participate), an instrument building workshop with Neptune, monthly meetings entitled Response Improvisational Summit, which hold the purpose of provoking creative collaboration and experimentation, a cartoon and drawing workshop called Cartoon Networking and various other events such as film screenings showcasing local filmmakers, yoga accompanied by synthesizers and their summer plans of planting a community garden in collaboration with the YMI Cultural Center.
But Apothecary isn't alone in their mission to bring Asheville together. Upon my next trip to the 'Ville, I look forward to exploring the numerous recommendations passed along to me from the Apothecary crew. I'm inspired to learn about Burton Street Community Association, a true community working together for over 100 years. Asheville is also home to Black Mountain College, a progressive arts school and museum rooted in participation and equal ownership amongst faculty and staff. I've been hoping to visit BMC each time I've been in Asheville—hopefully the third time will be the charm. Another recommendation A+C passed along to me was to check out Make Noise, a label and shop focusing on modular synthesis and the website I'm going to spend the next year exploring (also responsible for presenting Apothecary's aforementioned synthesis workshop). And finally, I can't wait to visit Blackout Effectors, a small group of folks building (and painting) customized pedals with care and pride. Their website even lists bands and friends that use Blackout products, offering them a couch to sleep on anytime.
Traveling about 3 hours East, our next stop on tour was Greensboro, NC. We played at Science House, aka a kitchen packed with sweaty and supportive new friends (with surprisingly good sound). Although we didn't have much time to explore while we were in town, the Apothecary crew has been nice enough to introduce me to some rad spaces in Greensboro so we know for next time. An inspiring collective that I look forward to connecting with in the future is called Elsewhere. Described as a "living museum," it utilizes the materials obtained from when the space was a thrift store to create new art out of existing things. Additionally, Elsewhere operates as a multimedia platform for collaboration through a team of Members. They're home to a community radio station, a cooking show, an online and print magazine consisting of stories collected from LGBTQ youth, and countless additional inspiring projects. Also in Greensboro is CFBG, a record co-op that triples as a venue and art gallery, while showcasing more than 10,000 releases by local independent musicians you can listen to in the store.
While we're on the topic of record stores (and in honor of tomorrow being record store day) I'm thrilled to take you on a field trip to our last stop of the week—my favorite record store! Gravity Records is located about 3 hours Southeast of Greensboro in Wilmington, NC. Wilmington has always been very special to me because it's home to some close family friends, but I had never known anything about it's community until playing a show at Gravity. Taking the former location of Manifest Disc and Tapes in 2004, Gravity is an overwhelmingly large sea of vinyl, with a giant stage living in the front of the store. We were worried such a large shop would feel empty during our show, that was until we witnessed Wilmington's supportive music community. Before the sun went down, folks of all ages had filed in and made themselves comfortable on the various couches scattered around the store. We played to a large gathering of excited and respectful locals, who stayed for everyone's set and seemed to have a genuinely great time. It became clear that this was a united community, supportive of the arts and grateful to have such a wonderful local establishment.
I have to give some extra thanks to Christian and Alisha for being such an inspiration for this piece, and for pointing us all in the direction of so many amazing collectives to learn about in North Carolina. Perhaps this year on your way down to Total Bummer 4EVER, you can stop at Apothecary for a workshop or snag some vinyl from Gravity. I hope to see you there!
P.S. as soon as we got to South Carolina our car broke down and the next few days of tour looked like this. Thanks for keeping us moving while you could, NC.

West Virginia Speeding laws
No person may drive a vehicle at speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions and the actual and potential hazards.
Basic Speed Law: No person may drive a vehicle at speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions and the actual and potential hazards. W. VA § 17C-6-1(a)
Penalty for Exceeding Speed Limit
A first time violator may be:
- fined not more than $100, and
- the violator's license may be suspended not more than one year.
Penalty for Reckless Driving
West Virginia defines "reckless driving" as driving "in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property." First offenders face up to 90 days in jail and/or $25 to $500 in fines.
(Read more about West Virginia's reckless driving laws and penalties.)
Speed Limits
- 55 MPH on open country highways, controlled-access highways and interstate highways. Note: The law provides, that for controlled-access and interstate highways, the speed limit shall be not be less than 55 MPH
- 25 MPH in a business or residential district
- 15 MPH in a school zone
West Virginia Speeding Laws
West Virginia has what is known as an "absolute" speed limit law. There is no trick to how this works: If the sign says 40 mph and you drive 41 mph or more, you have violated the law. In other words, you are guilty if you drive over the speed limit. In West Virginia you may be able to make three possible defenses:
- Attacking the officer's determination of your speed. To do this you must discover what method the officer used to cite you and then learn about the ways to attack that particular method.
- Claiming an emergency forced you to exceed the speed limit to avoid serious damage or injury to yourself or others.
- Claiming that the officer mistook your car for another car. With so many similar-looking cars, it is possible that a cop could see a speeding car, lose sight of it around a corner, and then wrongly pick out your car farther down the road.
Note that in West Virginia you can be ticketed for driving at an unsafe speed, even if that speed does not violate the posted limit -- for example, driving exactly at the maximum mph posted limit on the freeway amidst slower and heavy traffic, in a dense fog, or in a driving rainstorm or blizzard.
Point System
The licensing agency has established the following point system to assist it identifying offenders who may be subject to licensing action because of frequent violations of the traffic laws. When an offender has accumulated 12 points, they may be subject to either a waning letter, probation for not more than 1 year or license suspension for not more than 1 year. The following points have been assigned to speeding or speed related violations: Reckless driving-6 points; speeding in a school zone-6 points; speeding more than 75 MPH on highways with a speed limit less than 65 MPH-6 points; speeding more than 80 MPH on highways with a speed limit of 65 MPH-6 points; driving too fast for conditions-3 points; speeding in excess of the speed limit where speed was less than 75 MPH-3 points; and, all other moving violations-2 points.

We had the pleasure of travelling up to Edinburgh with Virgin Altantic's domestic airline Little Red.
Check in is at Teminal 1 rather than the International Virgin Atlantic Departures at Terminal 3. We had a quick check in and straight through to departures. Our flight was delayed slightly but we were kept updated by announcements frequently.
Now the legroom, one of the most important issues for me and it wasn't good. As I've said before being 6 foot tall can be a right pain when flying. There are people a lot taller than me so how they ever manage I wouldn't like to guess. I couldn't straighten my legs out I had to literally sit sidewards and being in a middle seat in a row of 3 wasn't ideal. I checked on Seat guru a website with great aircraft seating information and it states the seat pitch is 29-30 inches!! However the aircraft was less than half full so I asked to move and had a row of 3 to myself. Perfect. Problem overcome.
The flight is just a quick 55 minute hop up to Edinburgh but in that time we did receive complimentary drinks including beers, wines and spirits, yes thats right any drink was complimentary. A little snack was provided and the loveable "Love Heart' sweeties for landing.
If you are part of the Virgin Atlantic flying programme you will also accumulate miles for Little Red. For a return trip you will earn 1500 points and two tier points.
I just have to comment that we had the most friendliest check in staff at Edinburgh on our return flight. I quite often come away from the check in desk a little deflated. Its your first point of contact with somebody at the start of your journey and it should make you feel excited don't you think??
Have you ever travelled by Little Red?? The route has been going for 12 months now. Would I use this service again?? Absolutely, I would just hope that the flight wasn't full so I could get a spare seat next to me again.
Look out for my review on Little Red's big brother Virgin Atlantic coming soon.

text: ID Request - Small Caribbean Octopus Hello, I got this new octopus from live aquaria the other day. He is supposedly a Caribbean small but he doesn't seem too small to me. I was acclimating it and then it found a little hole in the bag and squeezed through it was about the size of a dime. He then inked and shot into the rocks by one of my star polyps. I did a 20 percent water change and now you cant see any of the ink. If there is still ink in the aquarium what will happen to it? Could you please help me ID this animal because I want to know how big of a tank it needs and what temp to keep it at. I thinks its a vulgaris but that's just me, it also looks kind of like a briareus I am very sure it isn't a hummelincki though.

News : Dubai's 999 Operators Take 1.4m Calls in Six Months
#contactcenterworld, @dubaipolicehq GO FOR GOLD AND REPRESENT YOUR NATION! The 2018 13th annual Top Ranking Performers Global Awards are open until 31st Dec 2017
Awards for all levels of staff and a fantastic range of corporate awards for contact centers! Click on the banner for details!
Dubai, July 21, 2014 -- Dubai's 999 emergency call centre received more than 1.4 million calls in the first six months of the year, the police agency reported.
The Control and Command Centre at Dubai Police's general department of operations answered 1,405,286 calls. Of those, 97 per cent – or 1,362,184 calls – were answered within 10 seconds by the centre's operators. Last year, 2.4 million calls were placed to the emergency line.
Col Omar Abdullah Al Shamsi, director of the department, praised the operators for their hard work.
"If you compare, in Dubai city, one of the smaller cities in the world ... with London city, London is almost 2.4 million calls in one year," he said. "Of course it's a good performance to answer this many calls. Do you know how many call takers we have to answer these 1.4 million? There are 20 call takers around the clock. There is an average of 20 call takers."
The operators also succeeded in meeting the target set by the department to have 97 per cent of all calls answered within 10 seconds, said Col Al Shamsi.
"There is no 100 per cent anywhere in the world," he said. "We answer all the calls, but the 3 per cent is maybe 15 seconds or 20 seconds, but we answer them."
During peak times, the number of operators on the job is increased up to 30 per eight-hour shift.
"During Ramadan, the peak is different. From 10 in the morning until 6pm, this is a peak time of calling 999, but on normal days, the peak time is from after 1pm until 10 or 11pm," said Col Al Shamsi.
He said many of the calls received by the 999 dispatchers were non-emergency, which costs the department more money.
"That's why we are increasing the number of human resources, which increases our cost, just to handle non-emergency calls."
An exact figure of how many non-emergency calls were placed to the 999 line were not immediately available, but Col Al Shamsi said that the volume of calls for the first six months of the year compared with the same period last year increased about 18 per cent for all types of calls.
"We need to pass this to the public – please do not call 999 unless you know that you are in an emergency situation," he said. "Anything that you feel is an emergency, please call us. But for inquiries, don't call."
Col Al Shamsi, whose department also oversees dispatchers who answer non-emergency calls received at the toll-free number 901 call centre, said public-awareness campaigns had been successful in educating people not to tie up the main emergency line with inquiries about public or private services.
"We are seeing that it is increasing day by day. People start to know it," he said. "Both of them are under my responsibility, so I give instruction whenever people call 999 for inquiry. We don't give them any answer for their inquiry. We say this is an emergency [number], sorry, thank you, bye-bye. If you need answer for your questions, please call 901."
The 901 call centre received 44,556 calls during the first six months of this year compared with 30,951 calls during the same period last year.
The average time for security patrols to reach emergency scenes was 9 minutes, 37 seconds during the first half of this year, according to Dubai Police. For non-emergency situations, police were able to arrive on the scene in an average of about 12 minutes.

It turns out that if you have a major political party arguing that a government debt default wouldn't be that big a deal, it makes people start to wonder just how creditworthy your government really is.
That's the lesson of the decision late Tuesday by Fitch, one of the three major credit-rating firms, to put the U.S. government on "Ratings Watch Negative" for a possible downgrade of the nation's AAA credit rating. It follows an actual downgrade during the last debt ceiling standoff, in August 2011, by Standard & Poor's. That event sparked a wave of stock and bond market volatility. The Fitch analyst team has not (at this point) downgraded U.S. debt, but it is clearly threatening to do so if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling soon.
The irony in Fitch's statement resides in the pains it takes to point out the soundness of the fundamentals of the U.S. debt picture. "Fitch continues to judge that the U.S. economy (and hence tax base) remains more dynamic and resilient to shocks than its high-grade rating peers," the company's analysts write. "Fiscal and macroeconomic risks emanating from the financial sector are generally low and diminishing and becoming supportive of, rather than a drag on, economic growth."
And deficits have been coming down."The 'AAA' rating also reflects the halving of the federal budget deficit since 2010, which is now approaching a level consistent with debt stabilisation."
In other words, the United States is not facing anything resembling a traditional debt crisis, like those faced by Greece and Argentina in the recent past. This is a different sort of animal, the Fitch analysts strive to make clear -- a scenario in which it is political actors, not economic fundamentals, that are posing a risk to the creditworthiness of the world's largest economy.
At stake, the Fitch analysts argue, is nothing less than the United States' status as the anchor of the global financial system, and even, potentially, its ability to handle debt loads in the future. "The prolonged negotiations over raising the debt ceiling (following the episode in August 2011) risks undermining confidence in the role of the U.S. dollar as the preeminent global reserve currency, by casting doubt over the full faith and credit of the U.S.," write the analysts, led by Ed Parker. "This 'faith' is a key reason why the U.S. 'AAA' rating can tolerate a substantially higher level of public debt than other 'AAA' sovereigns."

"Perfection", Run DMC said, "is quite essential". A laudable aspiration but, as their later career showed handsomely, hard to achieve. Compromise has a lot of very persuasive arguments.
"This software is bug-free. It is perfect", Fast Company said of the Space Shuttle's control system, "as perfect as human beings have achieved ... the last three versions of the program - each 420,000 lines long - had just one error each." Skipping over how they knew that there was just one error, and why they didn't fix it, NASA had obvious reasons to strive for perfection, including the need to certify "that the software will not endanger the shuttle" before launch. Their approach was to be meticulous in the meta-work that supports software production as well as the production itself. But they still had errors.
"We test", Weinberg said, "because people are not perfect". Weinberg's book, Perfect Software And Other Illusions About Testing, is a classification of the ways in which the human factor - in the coding, the development process, the testing, the management or anywhere else in the creation of a piece of software - rules out the possibility of perfection.
So what lessons are there for us?
- Software should generally be tested (the extent and rigour determined by the context) because the people who made it are unlikely to have made it defect free.
- Testing is not just an engagement with the software but an implicit interaction with the people involved in the software.
- We often put ourselves in the mind of the user but we should also be putting ourselves in the mind of the software creators, the business development team, the people who designed the process, the GUI designer, the QA manager and the rest. They aren't black boxes, so what do we know about them, their strengths, frailties, foibles, blindspots, that will give us an insight to exploit in tests?
- Stopping at Raising Hell would have been perfect.

Blues place Lehtera on injured reserve
Turns out Jori Lehtera won't be joining the Blues for part of their swing through western Canada after all. The Blues placed him on injured reserve Wednesday.
Lehtera suffered an upper-body injury during the Blues' 3-2 win over the Rangers on Saturday. So did two teammates, forward Kyle Brodziak and defenseman Carl Gunnarsson, but they were well enough to fly with the team to Vancouver on Monday. Coach Ken Hitchcock had speculated that Lehtera might join the team later in the trip, which goes to Edmonton on Thursday and Calgary on Saturday, but that won't be happening.
Lehtera, 28, has no points in three games this season. The 6-foot-2, 212-pound forward has 78 points (23 goals, 55 assists) in 157 career regular-season games.

As a girl who spent half her childhood under the hood of a car with Dad, I have a long history of grease stained pants and a youthful giddiness around finding a handy new tool.
It's no secret. I like tools. The kind you use to fix things.
Recently, I've found myself walking around the house with Fix It Sticks, looking for things to fix. That is the sign of a good tool. When it fits nicely in your hand and you actually want to use it.
The Replaceable Bit Fix It Sticks was the perfect tool for building a new bike this week. It's so useful that I would rather spend an extra 10 minutes remembering where I put it than attempting a bike repair without it.
Replaceable Bit Fix It Sticks are more versatile than the original version that was funded by kickstarter in 2013. It does exactly what it says. The replaceable bit capability allows you to select the right combination of bits for on-the-bike or home repairs. The simple design offers the leverage that most bicycle multi-tools lack, making it incredibly useful. The all steel construction makes it durable and practical while the neodymium magnets hold the bits securely in place.
Weighing in at 118 grams, it's not the lightest tool on the market but it's functionality far outweighs the few extra grams.
The Replaceable Bit Fix It Sticks comes with eight bits (2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm Hex, Torx 25, Phillips #2), and is compatible with all 1/4" bit fittings.
I like this tool so much that I'm ordering one for my Dad. Even with a mechanic's garage equipped with two lifts and more tools than any one person could possibly use, I'm sure this little guy will make his day.

Discussion in 'Tennis Tips/Instruction' started by Cl1ntrock, Dec 1, 2009.
check it out..http://www.youtube.com/user/R0cktubes
Good stuff!
Did you get more muscle since your volley vids? And a year older too. Shooting for AussieOpen? Which pre AussieO tournaments are you playing?
could be a bit more muscle..naah man no aussie open for me..was injured and ranking to week..i am current 701..havent played tourney since august..start of fresh in januar future tour..go from there..climb the ladder..see how we go..preperation through december
How high do you have to be ranked to at least play in the Aussie Open qualis?
me as an aussie should get a WC around 400s..make it straight in Qs and on safe siide high 300s..cuts been 380s as as well depense how much it drops..
Oh ok I see. To be realistic, it looks like you have A LOT of work ahead of you. It has to be a dream of yours to play in a Grand Slam, but great results need to be achieved first. Good luck man
Great video, was that a ball maching or someone hitting with you? It sounded like it was coming off a racquet, if so they must be very good also.
Best regards,
Tennis Geometrics
great ball striking clint.. do you think you will permanently switch to the k90?
You beat up on that guy from Illinois,,right ?? He actually won a Challenger event in the summer and was doing well. so you also could duplicate his results or better it.....
Clint - what BH grip do you use? looks like you get a lot of depth out of it...maybe too much?
btw - don't forget to give the MG Prestige Pro a try.
Good to see you again. Nice video as always. A good one to use as a model for players here. Great shoulder turn, bend at the knees, smile pattern, everything works.
Nice video. I just have two questions for you about the video.
1) who were you hitting with in the video? and
2) did you decide on strings for the K90?
i was hitting with marius zay..friend and training partner..650 approx atp at moment..he is in my videos as well somewhere..
i was hitting with alu power..didnt last very long..but would last a match ..training it goes through quick..used original today..that was also ok..
my backhand grip is pretty classic old school..nothing spectacular..
yes i do have alot of work..but i wanna make it into a slam..i will try everything to do so next year..
Loving the strokes!! 1hbh is sick!!
Great machine-like quality, doesn't break down, very reproducable in a match, yeah?
You say yr BH grip is "nothing spectacular" but that release over your shoulder is! Where does that come from? It's great...
Do you have that same release when you go DTL?
Reason I ask is that (and please indulge the comparison for just one tiny milli-sec) it's a Fed-esque move to belt the ball DTL and release the same.
This shows it
Do you reckon yr getting the sort of rotation and release you want so far?
I loved the footwork.
When he gets to the top, Wilson will give him BLX-Blade paintjobs, and people will wonder what racket is under it... They'll speculate stuff like a [K]ProStaff 88 or a ProStaff 85 because of the box beam and the PWS... But us here at TW will know it's a [K]Six.One Tour. :twisted:
After enough close up pictures of his racket though, they'll be able to tell it's either a BLX-Six.One Tour or a [K]Six.One Tour.
Clint, since i hope to be atleast half as solid as you one day, may i ask how old you are and when you started playing?
Your form is aesthetically pleasing, bu on the 1HBH I think you aren't transferring your weight as effectively as you should.
he is a pro tennis player currently ranked ~700 in the world.. its nice someone like him frequents the boards, and on occasions like this, posts some of his clips.. i can assure you he isnt looking for advice on his technique
Unless you are tour ranked, I don't know if you should be giving criticism to Clint.
Good vid man...Nice to see a lefty with a 1hbh
Also...It doesnt matter what rank you are, if you have bad technique you have bad technique...Idk anything about a 1hbh but if it has flaws it has flaws...Look at Gasquet's forehand for goodness sake
Man-o-man...your backhand is absolutely sublime. Really inspiring. I've been working really hard lately on improving my backhand to make it on par with my FH. I'm still struggling to get that extra snap you seem to be getting so effortlessly. This video provides me with an excellent image of what I need to emulate.
Thanks Clint!
I wasn't meaning to criticize. Its almost perfect. I'm just saying that I think that more effective weight transfer would made it perfect.
hey guys..thanks for the comments..
he is not wrong you can always do a lil more of this and that..but my opponent was hitting hell out of the ball also..i would of transfered it a bit more with a wider stance if i wanted to make even more pressure..
But it was about finding rythm and so on..
For the downline shot..i hit it exactly the same..thats the moment at a tournament where people turn around or googling.."who the hell is this guy"??i have been having a great preperation so far..and the way i am going now i will have a good year next year..wanna break my PB of 469 over 100 spots next year and go from there..i am 25 now..no wasting time anymore..giving all for the sport and hoping that window stays a bit more longer open for me to have a crack at grand slams..all i need is to stay healthy have a good scedule..play alot of tourneys..and we will see where it takes us
Clint - have u decided on a racquet? looks like u hit well with the wilson model in the vid.
no i havent..my arm is givin me some probs with the k 6.1 the vibrations on serve and the weight i am not used to..and it was even pissin me of framing the ball every now and then..hehe
You have the right username, CLINTrock, cause you are rock soild!!! Man I would like to train and become as good as you are!
Clint, BH looks like it's coming along. I love the 1HBH when it's done right, it's beautiful. Is that a brace?
Beautiful looking backhand, very federer-esque! I'd be interested to hear what age you started playing at as well!
Woo Hoo..welcome back Clint...back to posting vids that is...been waiting and waiting...lol
Smooth as a baby's bottom....Forget, Fed, i will copy Clint from now on
Clint, I did not find the K90 comfortable but how did it compare to your previous Head Prestige Flexpoint MP?
I would think that with experience of the head prestige fx, these sticks might be more your preferred sticks:
1. Volkl Power Bridge 10 Mid
2. Volkl Power Bridge 10 Mid+
3. Boris Becker Delta Core Legend
4. Boris Becker 11
Yeah, no offense, you'd smoke me, but why are you using a k90?
No offense to Mawashi but the only contender that I see in this group is the Volkl PB 10 mid ... and I am guessing that you might like it even more with some added lead.
Wow, this thread has gone to the "Clint, we recommend you this racket"......
Maybe Clint knows enough to pick his own racket. Maybe he's got racket sponsorship and needs to use a certain racket. Don't worry which racket he plays with, we just hope ..... Clint, you rock, and hope you get those ankles strong and healthy so you can continue your career!!
yeah, he mentioned he was switching sticks this year (in the other thread). He definitely rocks, and since he has had some issues with his arm and his K6.1 ... the one I mentioned would be a strong option.
Yeah seriously. Who are these people that want to feel important and knowledgeable so bad they'll give stroke and racquet selection advice to a world class player who clearly doesn't need help from a bunch of nobodies on an internet forum.
what is a vorhand????
LOL, despite what you think, this is an internet forum with some good knowledge to be passed around. Why are you speaking for a "world class player"??Besides, Clint seems like he is the kind of guy that speaks his mind. If he doesn't want to hear it, he can say so, not you. Do you realize that the stick that is giving his arm problems is 8 points stiffer with all other aspects being very similar to the stick I recommended? <I didn't think so>
Anyway, this is my last post about this ... now you can go back to "Oh Clint, I wish my backhand could be as great as yours."
Thanks....Clint, I wish my backhand could be as good as yours!
Man, you sure showed me. Not only did you choose the perfect racquet for him, but you called it a stick! You must be a goddamn pro! Then the little off set <I didn't think so> that really made me feel like a loser.
You say I should let Clint deny your advice for himself. The thing is, the advice people are trying to give annoyed ME. I don't know how it effected him, but to me it was pretty irritating. Not your advice specifically, but I saw a poster saying he needs to work on his weight transfer, and then people all trying to tell him which racquet he needs to get. The fact of the matter is, the guy is a pro, he probably has a coach or some other resource to better assist him than people who discuss tennis online for fun.
You sure are thin skinned there Hunter. Seriously, if this really bothers as much as you state, I bet your non cyber-life must be surreal. There are plenty of posters on this board that provide world class information and I'm pretty certain they are not in Clint's league as far as tennis is concerned.
The key skill required here is the ability to accurately filter the noise from the information and not simply jump to a conclusion based on some preconceived idea about the worthiness of the source. I can assure that this skill is far more valuable than any tennis specific skills you'll ever develop.
What is awesome is a debate ensuing and a fued going and I am not part of it!! lol
It is sort of fun reading this.
Now you know why we love you.
Haha, enjoy your break! It won't last long with the Wegner's Witnesses still on the prowl.
World class advice huh? Why don't Roddick or Blake post questions here then? Because they're pros, and they have other, more useful resources. Trying to give Thomson advice is just as silly as trying to give Roddick advice.
I'm not even saying the things people said were wrong or bad. Just that when we're lucky enough to have an actual pro posting, it's probably not the best idea to be arrogant enough to offer him tips he didn't even ask for.
Now I'm done. It's not my intention to clog this tread up with a useless argument.
^^^ Amateurs can sometimes spot errors in even a pros form. <g> Its quite possible with new slow motion videos available. Many coaches can't practice what they preach either. Do you think Gilbert could really out hit Agassi? But he could still give very good advice.
LOL, I love how just because a player is in the wrong end of the top 1000 that he is somehow immune to criticism, that he is some sort of deity.
Then again, these boards are mainly filled with dumb kids so there ya go...
Alright I know I said I was done but holy sh*t guys. It's not a question of if he's a perfect player or anything, it's a matter of having some damn manners. He's a world class professional posting videos and answering questions and then a bunch of *******s start trying to put in their two cents.
"He's on the wrong end of the top 100" huh Sirsweetspot? Where are you? Are you one of the top 1000 coaches in the world? I doubt it. As a top 1000 player, he hits the ball just as good as people in the top 50, just has other areas missing.
I see you're implying I'm a dumb kid. Well, YOU'RE ON AN INTERNET FORUM CRITICIZING A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE THAT KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE GAME THAN YOU EVER WILL. That sounds an awful lot like the actions of a young, dumb, arrogant kid to me.
