Out & Proud: The Man with The Child in His Eyeswritten by jaybees80 on 2013-06-07 #videos
For LGBT month, it seemed important to me to talk about the love of my life through my photos. He is the one who inspires me the most, the one I never miss when it comes to taking pictures. His love and strength makes him my muse. Even if life has not always been kind to us (and especially lately), it will always be there for me and I'll always be there for him.42 108 Share Tweet

Climbing the big dune 45 and the Bushmen tour
Sesriem Travel Blog› entry 22 of 30 › view all entries
Climbing "dune 45"
Ooooh noooo, This time I had to get up very, very, very urlie, like 4AM to get to the "dune 45" Famous and one of the biggest dune... We wanted to be the first with out foodmarks of others in action and watching the sun comming up... We arrived there around 5AM.. We were lucky that we stayed a night longer, because the tent... Climbing the big dune 45 was sooo hard and havy.... It took a lot from me, because you did three steps and went two down... I made stops a lot and for my feeling I dronk a lot during my stop.... It was hig and a hour walk like that.. Before you knew my shoes were full of sand and it,s was not posible to empty the shoe..... I was very tired and it was getting hot....
I arrived on top and it was sooo amazing.
The dunewalk with the bushmen
Afther the walk at 'dune 45' we went with truck to a place were we got picked up with a pick up truck with the bushmen.... When we arrived at the place, it was sooooo wonderfull, Terschelling is nothing anymore hahaha, a iceland in Friesland in the Netherlands with dunes.... It was quiet and amazing... I walked a few minutes and I got serieus cramps in my tommy.... I had to go and do something about it and it was soooooo bad that I could not go on with the dunetour with the bushmen.
I waited a few hours by a tree in the shide feeling sick... Going to the dune toilet during that time was soooo bad... When the group came back I felt a litle better and the bushmen want me to sit upfront in the truck and tell some stuff... He showd me a spider nest.... Afther we arrived at camp I went to the tent and stayed there for a few hours sleep... I got my medicine and Cola from my sweet Roomy.. She took so good care of me! In the middle of the day I felt better afther diaree medication and a nother Bleeeeh drink pouder (ORS).... It did help.... I went to the pool to cool down, but take it easy with no sisi.... I played some cards (Pesten) with a small group and later on we had diner at the truck.. The guides cooked wonderfull again and they are the best... When it was dark we dronk" Amarula", the African drink and did music games again, guesing songs and having fun.! I went late in to bed!

Stuart Scott says: "Think a lot of the responsibility will fall on Morgan in this game, hopefully Ravi can star... however England vs spin usually ends up with one result!"
We are not quite sure why, but Sri Lanka have been handed an extra run... Perhaps because they are at home? England now need 170 to win. They start well enough with seven off the opening over. Wright takes first ball and, after a couple of dots, pulls hard for the first boundary of the innings. Hales adds a couple through midwicket
Wright and Hales to open for England. Mathews has the ball...
So, can England do it? They look set to face another trial by spin with Sri Lanka fielding no less than four genuine spin bowling options. Send in your predictions to email@example.com and tweet @skysportsdrabs
Broad keeps faith in Dernbach and is repaid as the Surrey man bowls a superb final over, conceding just seven. England will need 169 to reach the semi-finals!
Bosh! Perera rocks back and swats Broad over long-on for another maximum! He is playing a blinder for Sri Lanka here. Broad goes back to yorker length in an attempt to stem the flow of runs but Thirimanne finds a way of threading the infield and picking up a boundary through backward point, despite aiming around midwicket! WICKET! Thirimanne goes for 13, playing all around a slower ball and seeing his off stump removed. Some consolation for Broad, who ends with 3-32 from four overs
The balance shifts back in Sri Lanka's favour after another expensive over from Dernbach, who is really struggling out there. Mendis pulls him over square-leg before Thirimanne gets in on the act final ball by dispatching him over long-on. 16 in total off the over and Broad will have a decision to make on who to bowl at the death
A cracking final over from Finn, who concedes only three singles to finish with 1-23 from his four overs. He could have added Perera to the wickets column but his slice over extra cover just landed wide of Broad, who dived full length at it. England have put everything into their fielding and bowling. Can they hold their nerve at the death?
The 50 partnership between Mathews and Mendis comes up off 29 balls when Mathews drives Broad for four more. That really should have been cut off by Wright and the bowler is less than impressed. WICKET! He's smiling now, I think! Mendis (18) pulls Broad straight to Bopara, who takes the catch to break the partnership at last! WICKET! Two in two again! Mathews drags a short ball back on to his stumps and goes for 28. The crowd are silenced! Thirimanne and Perera are the new men - Sri Lanka bat very deep. Great over for England
Big, big over for Sri Lanka, who take Patel for 17 after a six apiece for Mathews and Mendis. Patel has now conceded 27 from two overs and England are back under pressure. The second six was actually caught by Finn, but he couldn't stop himself running over the rope. A great, great effort nevertheless
Bopara tests Bairstow's agility with a wide down the leg-side which the Yorkshireman does very well to stop. Mathews then brings up the Sri Lanka 100 with two more runs smeared through wide long-off. A decent over from the Essex man though, it costs eight
Wow, the ball is spinning a mile now, and bouncing too. Bairstow is struggling to deal with it all and concedes four byes in an over which costs six in total. Sri Lanka's spinners are going to be licking their lips in the changing room. England will not want to be chasing many more than 150...
Broad piles the pressure on Mathews with four successive dots but the Sri Lanka all-rounder responds with back-to-back boundaries through wide long-off to end the over. Just too full from the bowler. This is a fascinating contest and Sri Lanka are not backing down!
WICKET! And they get that wicket! Morgan, diving forward at deep midwicket, takes a superb catch to remove Jayawardene for 42 off 38 balls. Swann celebrates, he's delighted! That's his 50th T20 scalp. Mathews joins Sangakkara in the middle. WICKET!! Two in two! Swann finds Sangakkara's edge and Bairstow takes this one! Kumar can't believe umpire Davis has given that and shakes his head as he walks off having made 13 from 12. Two new men in and Jeevan Mendis survives hat-trick ball with a solid block. The left-hander then sweeps hard for a one-bounce four, that was a brave shot but he played it very well. A reverse-sweep follows and that also finds the rope. Wickets, runs, it's all happening!
Patel comes on and Sri Lanka target him right away. Jaywardene cuts and sweeps him for boundaries and in total the over costs 10. Sri Lanka are just building some momentum here and England desperately need a wicket
DROP! Bairstow, standing upto Swann, puts down Sangakkara! Just a tiny edge attempting to cut and another chance goes begging. Jayawardene then rubs salt in the wounds with another reverse-sweep which finds the rope - SL's first boundary in 14 balls. Broad counters by bringing another man across into that area and he fields immediately
Bopara comes on with his medium-pacers. Can England's partnership-breaker break this one? Not right away, although his opening over costs just four as SL settle for singles before Mahela is beaten by a wobbler last ball
Jayawardene is in the groove now and plays a superbly-controlled reverse-sweep off Swann to find the fence. Swann's opening over costs nine and you would have to say Sri Lanka are just ahead at this stage. There is spin, too, which will making chasing even harder later on
Broad brings himself into the attack for the final powerplay over. Mahela is keen to make the most of it but misses two wild swipes outside off stump. A brilliant start from the England skipper is nearly capped with a wicket when Jayawardene lobs a drive just over Bopara at short extra cover. Three off it
Finn, who has bowled the most dot balls in the tournament, starts with two more at the start of his third over. Broad clearly wants this partnership breaking, fast. WICKET! It works! The pressure pays as Dilshan is trapped lbw attempting an ambitious hoik across the line. He goes for 16. Sangakkara is the new batsman and he is off the mark first ball with two through the covers. Finn catches his edge final ball but it bounces just short of Bairstow, who can't stop it bobbling through his legs and reaching the fence. Sloppy work
Jayawardene clears the boundary this time, pulling Dernbach over backward square-leg for a delightful maximum! Dernbach persists with the short ball but Dilshan reads the plan and uppercuts another six, this one over third man! Under pressure, Dernbach then fires down a leg-side wide and a very ordinary over costs 16!
Mahela is all over a short ball from Finn early in the over and pulls it elegantly for a one-bounce four - so nearly a six. The Middlesex man comes back well though, beating Jayawardene twice outside off stump and finishing with a dot. Tight start from England
DROP! Swann spills Dilshan at first slip after Dernbach had caught the shoulder of his bat! A real let-off for Sri Lanka and a big miss for England. The Surrey seamer concedes just four runs from his first over and has a strong lbw appeal turned down to-boot. Right call from umpire Taufel
Finn takes the first over for England and produces some early movement back into right-handers Dilshan and Jayawardene. Dilshan spoils a tidy opening over with a cracking boundary through the covers, standing tall and punching the final ball off the back foot for four
Nick North adds: "It's very brave playing Bopara, he can either be pretty good or awful. Either way, he is not a match-winner. Then again, speaking too soon..."
The players are out for their respective national anthems. Huge game, i'm excited, hope you are too. Let's hope England can take inspiration from Team Europe last night!
Kumar Sangakkara will skipper Sri Lanka today instead of Mahela Jayawardene - who still plays
Neil Radburn asks: "I'm an Essex fan, big fan of Ravi but why on earth did we take Lumb if you're not gonna play him in these circumstances??" - My guess would be that Bopara is rated as a better player of spin so they are backing him to negotiate Sri Lanka's plethora of spinners... We shall see. Either way, it's a brave call
Shaun Harris has been in touch, saying: "About time Keiswetter was axed, although shame Prior isn't there to replace him, will be interesting to see if Wright opens with Hales and Morgan gets promoted." I'm with you on Prior Shaun. The guess would be that Wright opens alongside Hales
I'll try and keep this simple: If England win, they are through in place of West Indies, if they lose they go home. If they win really, really well, Sri Lanka could be eliminated and WI will progress
So, what do we make of England's team? Bopara is handed yet another chance as Kieswetter is sacrificed. Get in touch be mailing in to email@example.com or tweet me @skysportsdrabs
Three changes for England! Kieswetter has paid the price for a poor run of form and is replaced by Bopara. Dernbach & Patel also return in place of Bresnan and Briggs. For Sri Lanka, Herath is replaced by Dananjaya
England have won the toss and will BOWL first!
The delayed finish means that England and Sri Lanka have not had a chance to warm-up yet. I'll bring you an update on the revised playing times, teams and toss as soon as we have it
Welcome to text commentary of England's must-win clash with Sri Lanka. West Indies have just beaten New Zealand in a thrilling Super Over. England need to beat the host nation now if they are to stay in the competition!

A ship lost in the Bermuda Triangle.
Nearly half of its passengers the living dead or something even worse.
One Texas Ranger on a hunt for a mysterious killer now must protect the living against...
Revenants (the truth behind the myth of vampires),

Kali herself,
The Amal (living shadows who drain men of their life force),
Coyote (Native American trickster and chaos bringer),
The Gahe (soul-drinking demons of Apache myth).
The last voyage of the Demeter is not a pleasure cruise. It is not even the stocked pond that the undead aboard believe it to be. It is the beginning of "The End of All Things."
Unless one cursed Texican can fight and win his own personal Alamo - even though winning it will cost him all he holds dear.
Come aboard the doomed Demeter and sail with her into the depths of madness in Adrift in the Time Stream.

Why bother?
Starting at the beginning instead of assuming we knew what the author was trying to tell us.
His monotonous tone without character and emotion. I have heard recipes read with more passion. I lasted only thirty minutes and have now deleted the book.
A waste of money!
- Peter
Worst voice-actor I've ever heard.
A voice actor who actually knew how to act, or at least sound like he gave a care about his performance. Or maybe someone actually listening to this before releasing it and realizing how bad a job he did.
Anyone without a lisp, a heavy accent, a lack of desire to do a good job, but most of all not someone who suffered from all of the above. In fairness, his lisp and accent might not have been too bad, except he kept speaking in a constant speed, tone, and pitch no matter what he was actually reading. It all just blended together into something unintelligible.
Always listen to the audio sample. I'm going to go see about getting this book as an actual book because I thought the story sounded interesting, but I couldn't make it three minutes into this guys horrible performance.

Welcome in the new year (even if it is a month late) and kick the old one out of the bed!
I just recently recorded for Sarah Rabdau and for Grand Army. I will let the world know when those albums make it out of the recording studio and into the world.
Vessela (of Fluttr Effect) and I have been recording some new demos for some recent songs of ours. J Marchionna has been manning the console. This demo will lay the tracks for an EP that Vess and I are planning on knocking out later this spring. I will post some musical examples when all the pieces are in the right place.
Shows will be posted for March and April very soon.
It looks like my next public performance will be at the Lizard Lounge on March 7th for the Steamy Bohemians' Jerkus Circus.
Links, coming soon.

Atticus Finch Quotes
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
Scout Finch Quotes
"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing."
Jem Finch Quotes
"Atticus says you can choose your friends but you sho' can't choose your family, an' they're still kin to you no matter whether you acknowledge 'em or not, and it makes you look right silly when you don't."
Miss Maudie Quotes
"There are just some kind of men who – who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results."
Race Quotes
"Scout," said Atticus, "nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don't mean anything—like snot-nose. It's hard to explain—ignorant, trashy people use it when they think somebody's favoring Negroes over and above themselves. It's slipped into usage with some people like ourselves, when they want a common, ugly term to label somebody."
"You aren't really a nigger-lover, then, are you?"
"I certainly am. I do my best to love everybody… I'm hard put, sometimes—baby, it's never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn't hurt you."
Justice and Judgment Quotes
"Atticus, you must be wrong…."
"How's that?"
"Well, most folks seem to think they're right and you're wrong…."
Youth Quotes
Atticus had promised me he would wear me out if he ever heard of me fighting any more; I was far too old and too big for such childish things, and the sooner I learned to hold in, the better off everybody would be.
Morality and Ethics Quotes
"There's some folks who don't eat like us," she whispered fiercely, "but you ain't called on to contradict 'em at the table when they don't. That boy's yo' comp'ny and if he wants to eat up the table cloth you let him, you hear?"
"He ain't company, Cal, he's just a Cunningham-"
"Hush your mouth! Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house's yo' comp'ny, and don't you let me catch you remarkin' on their ways like you was so high and mighty! Yo' folks might be better'n the Cunninghams but it don't count for nothin' the way you're disgracin' 'em—if you can't act fit to eat at the table you can just set here and eat in the kitchen!"
Calpurnia sent me through the swinging door to the diningroom with a stinging smack.
Fear Quotes
Jem wanted Dill to know once and for all that he wasn't scared of anything: "It's just that I can't think of a way to make him come out without him gettin' us." Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of.
When he said that, I knew he was afraid.
Women and Femininity Quotes
I was not so sure, but Jem told me I was being a girl, that girls always imagined things, that's why other people hated them so, and if I started behaving like one I could just go off and find some to play with.
Family Quotes
"If Uncle Atticus lets you run around with stray dogs, that's his own business, like Grandma says, so it ain't your fault. I guess it ain't your fault if Uncle Atticus is a nigger-lover besides, but I'm here to tell you it certainly does mortify the rest of the family-"
"Francis, what the hell do you mean?"
"Just what I said. Grandma says it's bad enough he lets you all run wild, but now he's turned out a nigger-lover we'll never be able to walk the streets of Maycomb agin. He's ruinin' the family, that's what he's doin'."
Compassion and Forgiveness Quotes
"First of all," he said, "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

Unanswered: "Including" files
I would like to have a set of defined constants available to a set of procedures, somewhat like #include in C.
I have for example a procedure with 6 sub-procedures, all of which require a number of constant values. How can i share these values and datatypes between procedures without using parameters?
Global values for our whole application would also be useful.
I have found no way to do this using ASE functionality - any ideas?

I guess the answer is "no"
I also wanted to have a set of constants (at least global to a database).
I don't see a way to do it. From the fact that you posted in February (I just joined this forum), it looks like noone else found a solution.
I guess the best we can do is to cut and paste a section like:
DECLARE @OneConstant varchar(10)
DELCARE @AnotherConstant int
SELECT @OneConstant = "A string"
SELECT @AnotherConstant = 10
But you have to paste it into every routine, and if it changes, you have to change it for every routine. Not at all what we want.
If you hear of any way to do it, please post a reply.

where i work, we usually use a table which contains all the parameters you want...
indeed you have to call these parameters in every single procedure which needs them, but they are global to your application, you can modify them once for all the users, ...

A different solution
We thought about storing constants in a database table, but decided against that. It would definitely improve maintainability, but increase code size and maybe complexity.
We rather solved our problem by making a small Perl-script that preprocesses the SQL source code. The lineCode:
--#include <filename>
All our procedures are version controlled and we use good old fashioned makefiles, so I just call my little preprocessor like in C when making:
sqlpre.pl file.sql > destcat/file.sql
- not very efficient, you will probably be declaring a lot more variables than you'll be using in each procedure
- the line numbers in the error messages won't be correct compared to the source file
- if you include multiple files where the same constant is declared twice (which of course shouldn't happen, but...) - ASE barfs.
But it works pretty well!

Couldn't you do dynamic SQL? Say store the "DECLARE @foo" text in a separate text column in a table.
Select it into a varchar variable, then EXEC( @result )?Thanks,

I am having some BIG problems with KNetworkManager.
My network card is usually recognized by default (RaLink RT2500 chipset). But, when I go into connect through KNetworkManager... it always gets to 28% (configuring device) and then it fails. It then brings up a config dialog for the wireless interface. This includes areas to fill in the "essid" of the network and the encryption. I choose the WEP Hex encryption, and enter the key. Then I try connect. Again, 28% and then it fails. The config dialog comes up again... but I notice that the encryption type has been changed to "Passphrase." No... I don't use a passphrase... i use a 64bit WEP Key! So, I choose WEP Hex again, enter my key, click connect. Again, 28% and it fails (this keeps going forever).
I have encountered KNetworkManager three times: In SUSE 10.1, in SUSE 10.2, and in Sabayon Linux 3.2 (DVD). In SUSE 10.1, I uninstalled it, and used KInternet... which worked perfectly! In SUSE 10.2... my card was recognized, but KNetworkManager wouldn't let me connect (same problem as above). However, when I used KInternet, it didn't work either. I think that was an issue of how it was configured by default by YaST. Anyways, in Sabayon 3.2 my card was again recognized, and Sabayon even has the RaLink RT2500 configuration utility (official one), and I tried connecting through there, which seemed to work (nice green lights everywhere, no errors). But for some reason, it didn't. I notice KNetworkManager is running, so I try through there (same errors as described at the beginning).
I see no reason why KNetworkManager doesn't let me connect! I doubt it is a driver issue, as I see that it is usually recognized correctly. As said before, my card is based on the RT2500 chipset, and is PCI interface. My encryption is 64 bit Wep Hex, and I know I type it in right Zunge raus . Please help me get these problems sorted out... Thanks!

The Lombardy Health Care System
In the very recent past, the Lombardy health care system - established on the quasi-market model – has caught the interest of researchers and politicians in different OECD countries1. The merits of the model, compared to other Italian regional models, are the control of health care spending and the balanced budget, in a frame of good quality of services and patient choice. This paper stems from a literature review and tries to analyse the evolution of this regional system, the institutional path that brought to the implementation of the model, its theoretical basis, its merits and criticism. The period considered ranges from 1997, when the reform was enacted, to 2010.

Fragland has posted the following reviews:
"I should however confess that this game isn't bad. Everything from the gameplay to the graphics is enjoyable. The soundtrack is even highly enjoyable with hard rock tracks all over the place. Heck, they even built in an online multiplayer which makes me wonder about EA's explanation about the lack of an online mode in European NBA Live games. They stated that the European market for basketball games is too small, therefore they didn't implement an online mode in NBA Live games. However, this insinuates that the market for hockey games is bigger in Europe. I'm putting big question marks behind this statement but the important thing is that there is an online mode so we should be happy in stead of winy."
- Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 2006 (PS2 - 87%)
"The technical aspects of the game are well crafted too. You can enjoy a really cool and mellow soundtrack while playing and the graphics department did a very nice job indeed (Look at the water! Look at those reflections!). Although I must admit that I noticed some texture gaps which resulted in white lines on the green. This is only noticeable though while putting and in certain points of view. It can occasionally get on your nerves but it is never really irritating."

What do you mean exactly by the magic system? I like your blog but I don't see anywhere to sign up.Reply
Magic systems are the way magic and the supernatural work in fantasy and other genres of fiction that include these elements. It's also used in things like fairy tales, and stories based on mythology.Reply
Whether a fantasy or fiction world, the closer it can be in structure to the realities of life, the more likely the reader is to identify with the characters. Once the reader identifies with the characters, the reader is sucked into that world that you have created.Reply

persistentundyingInnistrad tribe to good use. At Grand Prix Baltimore this past weekend, Matt Scott followed up on the archetype by putting up a Top 8 finish with the shambling monsters!
Scott's deck still has the same powerful Dark Ascension Zombie core as Wescoe's—Geralf's Messenger, Gravecrawler, and Diregraf Captain—but the similarities quickly taper off. Whereas Wescoe is set up to play more of a control game with Distress and Liliana of the Veil, Scott is prepared to smash opponents with Sword of War and Peace and even Phyrexian Obliterator!
One of the more interesting cards in this decklist is Fume Spitter. The innocuous Scars of Mirrodin common does some good work in this format, killing Delver of Secrets, Spirit tokens, Birds of Paradise, and more! When not killing creatures, it can also carry a Sword or turn on morbid for Skirsdag High Priest.
But the most unique interaction with Fume Spitter actually comes from making creatures live! How so? Well, +1/+1 counters and –1/–1 counters remove each other, meaning that if you activate Fume Spitter on your own Geralf's Messenger you can remove its undying +1/+1 counter—giving your Messenger yet another lease on life in the process! Matt Scott cited the Messenger as his most important card, and no doubt this combination helped him on his journey to the Top 8.
This is one of the first major finishes for Zombies, and is sure to excite disciples of the undead archetype everywhere. Check out the decklist!

Jazz-Warriors: Report card

In defense of the guards defensive play, when Ellis and Curry are shooting like they were there is not a guard in the NBA who can stop them.
In defense of the bench play, even though Burkes actually played pretty well he is not a point guard and won't become one without a lot of work there, he did not direct the offense very well at all. They might have had better luck with Hayward playing the 1.

Congregational Board
The Congregational Board takes responsibility for financial and other material aspects of the church's life. Being a registered charity, financial matters are ultimately held under the scrutiny of the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator (OSCR), but spending decisions are taken locally and in conjunction with the national Church of Scotland. The church buildings, some of which are now over a century old, need regular maintenance, both outside and in.
Anyone may attend the meetings but only appointed Elders and elected Members may vote. Every year there is a Stated Annual Meeting to which the whole congregation is invited and at which new Board members are elected.
Clerk to the Board is Mrs Judith Macleod. The Minister has delegated chairmanship in 2016-17 to Mr Bill Mein. There are three standing committees – Finance, Properties and Socials.

Skip to comments.20 Stars Who Left Scientology
Posted on 07/19/2013 10:32:13 AM PDT by Colofornian
After divorcing Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes left the Church of Scientology. Though raised Catholic, she joined the religion upon dating Tom.
(Excerpt) Read more at hollyscoop.com ...
Shouldn't it be called "Homosexuology" since most of these stars who join are in the closet?
You're say John Travolta is gay?
say = saying
Hubbard hated homos.
He is on record as saying that all gays are stuck at covert hostility at best or suppressive persons.
These are just about the worst things you can call a scientologist.
That being said, the first person I knew to die of AIDS (before it was even called AIDS) was a friend of mine on staff at the local Scientology foundation...
Maybe it is a magnet for self hating ones?
A very plausible theory.
Something wrong with the link. The comments download but
not the article.
Hubbard may have hated gays, but he, and his frankenstein's monster cult LOVE their money!
Because the "Church" knows all their dirty secrets and they know if they ever leave they will spill the beans.
Read the May 1950 issue of the magazine Astounding Science Fiction.
Lawyers got there first!
The OP link took me to the comments so I couldn't see the people who left scientology. The link I posted above works better for me.
I thought Scientology was the name of the religion that supports the theory of global warming and Darwin's theory, the latter being the theory that life on Earth originally formed from a mud puddle and then evolved into humans by constant shattering of genes with cosmic rays.
You thought wrong. Scientology has its own beliefs that are arguably far more bizarre.
Katie Holmes' Wiki page says she recently joined St.Francis Xavier Church in Manhattan which it says draws lots of gays and lesbians as parishioners.

Praying Mantis Entertainment Presents:
Omnivox / Civil Holdup / Honor /Black Dog Alley / Emma Cullen
World Cafe Live Philadelphia
3025 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA, 19104
Doors 6:00 PM / Show 6:30 PM
This event is all ages
Civil Holdup is a hardworking original rock band from the Philadelphia area based out of Pennsville, New Jersey. With songs varying from dark and beautiful to fun and energetic, Civil Holdup's original material is interesting and different. Civil Holdup songs span multiple genres including rock, alternative, blues-rock, and folk-rock with a sound similar to Band of Horses, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, Cage the Elephant, and Incubus. In addition to these bands, Civil Holdup draws influences from artists like Pink Floyd, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, and Tool.
Civil Holdup projects these multiple moods through dramatic live performance and thoughtful song writing. The songs are musically and instrumentally complex, but easy to enjoy. Civil Holdup focuses on the listener. Catchy and thought provoking vocals - addictive and memorable guitar riffs - powerful, creative bass lines - and intricate, thundering drums. Civil Holdup's songs have much to offer any listener and its live performances showcase strong musicianship and a hardworking stage presence. Music that is too simple can be bland and forgettable, while music that is overly complex can be hard to enjoy - Civil Holdup falls right in between those extremes.
Civil Holdup's past few years have shown monumental growth and potential. With the release of their debut 5-song EP in 2013, Civil Holdup gained strong local support, radio play, and earned the opportunity to perform and headline at renowned venues like the Trocadero and World Cafe Live. After two years of writing and over a year in the studio, Civil Holdup has taken the next step forward as a band by recording their first full length album, "Blind Man's Dream" - set to release in Q3, 2015. With it's first single, "Either Way", the album will further improve Civil Holdup's prominence within the Philadelphia local rock scene and beyond - all born from a basement practice space doubling as a brewery.
When formed in the winter of 2009, HONOR hit the throttle and never looked back. Band members Zach Sagrantz (lead vocals/rythym guitar), Dom DiGiovanni (drums), and Josh Sawyer (bass/backing vocals) had already spent time cementing a solid foundation and writing songs when they added Jason Riggs on lead guitar. In 2010, the band proceeded to record a self-titled ep and their full length debut cd titled "Threshold". During t...hat time they also played numerous live shows in the Philadelphia area. With a sound that reflects on the talents of bands like Tool, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Pink Floyd, Shinedown, and many more, HONOR will infect you with their melodic hard rock.
Black Dog Alley
Emma Cullen
Emma Cullen is a 14 year old singer-songwriter who has recorded a self-titled 6 song EP produced in Nashville and most recently a 2 song EP "Left on the Tracks" produced close to home outside of Philly. She loves to write, sing and play her guitar.

Ice canoeing — it's a tradition that dates back to the 17th century, when locals needed a way to cross the St. Lawrence River between Quebec City and Lévis during the winter months.
Overtime, the winter activity evolved from a necessary means of transportation into a competitive sport.
Flash forward to 2016, when 175 participants from as far away in the province as Rimouski and Abitibi gathered at Montreal's Old Port on Saturday for the fourth annual Ice Canoe Challenge.
The five members teams use spiked boots to propel themselves along the ice until they hit open water, at which point they jump into their canoes and paddle like mad.
CBC's Raffy Boudjikanian stopped by the race on Saturday to watch as athletes faced off in the unique Quebec sport.

Forget ping-pong. The sport of choice in the People's Republic of China is now basketball. I discovered this in the UK, when I joined (was cajoled into joining) the Selwyn College Basketball team, and realized that MOST of the team was actually Chinese. We had two Americans, two Brits, a German, a Greek, a Latvian, and then five Chinese students.
When I asked them where they'd learned to play basketball they laughed. "China of course."
I would later gather that in China, basketball is a national passion. Outdoor courts stretch across miles in the big cities, leaving the once fiercely beloved ping pong tables strangely quiet.
How did basketball become China's number one sport? The answer is largely through the tactical use of media deals by NBA commissioner David Stern. Add the development of Yao Ming and the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and you get Basketball as it is today in China: played by over 300 million people, and watched on tv by millions more.
The full essay I wrote gives the full story:

The popular Twitter feed, @DadBoner, hnow has its own animated pilot in the works at Comedy Central. The Twitter feed is written by comedian Mike Burns who pretends to be a hick named Karl Welzein from Grand Rapids, Michigan, spouting off about his 'Maro and making chicks cream. In his fictional life, Welzein hangs with his friend Dave as the two go in search of booze, fast food and babes.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
In September, the Wall Street Journal published an article about nervous investors who were buying low yield, short term U.S. Treasury Bills as safe securities. ("Demand for Short-Term Treasury Debt Puts a Crimp in World-Wide Supply")
I remembered that because I just read another article about nervous investors buying government securities at low yields, under 1 percent. This time it is the Washington Post writing about the low yield U.S. Treasury bonds and declaring that "it's terrible news for the economy, which relies on people's willingness to invest and lend money." ("Flight to U.S. Treasury Bonds Bad News for Economy")
Others in the financial world are quoted. One said "The simplest way to think about this is that nobody wants to hold any risky assets." Another said, "You can cut rates all you want, but if nobody wants to take risk, no matter how attractive an investment seems to be, no one will put up the capital for it."
But wait a minute. Buying government bonds is investing and lending money. Consider the wreckage of the last few months after a decade of mortgage lenders making billions of sub prime mortgage loans.
Investment houses like Bear-Stearns and Lehman Brothers risked billions of America's loanable funds and our savings speculating with sub prime mortgages, and it did nothing except give them a chance to resell financial assets at a higher price.
Our savings could have helped fund our massive Federal deficit. Instead we owe foreign nationals who bought U.S. Treasury Bills and Bonds while Americans were on a speculative spree buying up risky assets that have failed by the billion.
We want our savings to fund the production of long lived assets and valuable services. The private sector has failed to do that lately.
Government bonds earned 4 to 5 percent interest for the last 10 years. If we had invested more in the government and government had used our savings and rebuilt New Orleans we would have something to show for it and thousands of jobs in the process.
The past decade has proved in the most decisive fashion that Americans are ready to take risks and to lend and invest money, but there is nothing that makes private lending and private debt better than public lending and public debt. It all depends on the assets we buy.
Remember one rule: it is not who invests, but in what.

"Your premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it's not going to get the business." — Warren Buffett
The U.S. Dollar is the premium brand of currency in the world. It's the standard against which all other currencies are measured and it's where the money goes when people want rock-solid security.
This has been true for decades, but in the last 35 years, the U.S. has gone from the largest creditor nation to the largest debtor. Our twin deficits combined with artificially low interest rates have left us with a $10 trillion national debt — $50 trillion if entitlement programs are included, as they should be.
We haven't been spending the money on factories or production. Instead we've been buying houses, cars, HDTV's, playing world cop, and dramatically overpaying for health care.
To put it bluntly, we are broke, both as a nation and as a set of individuals. The dirty secret is that our lifestyle of the last 20 years is unsustainable.
To fix this mess we've made, we need to tighten our belts and start saving money rather than borrowing to spend. That goes both for individuals and the government. In addition, we need to focus on producing goods that can be exported to other nations so that we can get money flowing back into this country rather than out of it.
Unfortunately, the government is determined to sustain consumption epidemic. Certainly consumption brings short-term pain relief, but it just makes the long-term imbalance worse, similar to giving a crack addict more crack to avoid withdrawal.
People keep saying the the bailouts will be paid for by our children, but the truth is that we'll have to pay the price ourselves. If the government continues its spending spree, which is even more likely now that we'll have a unified government of Democrats, inflation risk is very real.
Standard & Poor has already stated that the U.S. is at risk of losing its AAA bond rating.
If the dollar devaluation prediction comes true, the new financial capital of the world will be Asia. Asian countries have been effectively taxing themselves to subsidize U.S. consumption by buying and holding our bonds and thereby keeping our currency valuable.
If the U.S. economy collapses, Asia will decouple and begin to flourish on its own. They will be in excellent position with industrialized production, steady growth, and plenty of reserve savings.
If the U.S. dollar declined to 1/2, 1/4 or even 1/10th of its current value, chaos would ensue and a great number of people would be in deep trouble, especially retirees.
Are you prepared for such a contingency? Any bonds you hold would decline in value significantly, as would any cash.
According to the government numbers, inflation was around 4% this year, which means that any cash you had in a high-interest savings account has actually been declining in value at 1% rather than increasing by 3%.
If we're headed for dollar deflation, as some say, then it's a good idea to keep your cash. If you believe the inflation scenario, then you should buy some commodities such as gold. Or of course you could hedge your position and buy some gold while also keeping some cash on hand.
If you do decide to buy gold, it's a good idea to avoid futures and stick with real, physical gold or a fund that holds physical gold to avoid counterparty risk of the futures not being delivered.
If you want to take more risk and attempt to profit off the possibility of a falling dollar rather than simply maintaining your wealth, buy mining companies rather than physical gold, but still don't buy futures.
As for equities, Asia is a solid long-term investment but it will suffer in the short term along with the rest of the world.
Everywhere you go, you hear that the stock market is tanking — and analysts are discussing what you should do to keep more of your money.
While my philosophy of index investing says to buy more when stock prices are low, I came across a guy using an additional method to get returns on his money: peer-to-peer lending at Prosper.com.
We've talked a little bit about Prosper before, but if you're new to it, the site allows users to make and borrow loans from other individuals at agreed-upon interest rates.
So if you've got some extra cash, you can bid on loans as part of or as the entire amount that a borrower is looking for. With interest rates as high as 35%, it's an attractive alternative to watching your money tank in the stock market.
Have you considered loaning out money at Prosper? Share your experiences with us in a comment.
ING Direct is rolling out a new advertising campaign and Web site focused on determining how much money you need to retire.
ING Your Number (http://www.ingyournumber.com) is a financial calculator for figuring out "your number" — meaning, the amount of money you need to live at a level you'd like in retirement.
On the Web site, you're given a Flash presentation where you insert six fundamentals for determining your number:
- Current Age
- Marriage Status
- Household Income
- Expected Retirement Age
- Desired Income at Retirement
- Age until you'll need the income
After your number is determined, ING points you to financial professionals whether you have one or you don't.
At first use, it seems helpful — you've got to know where you're going before you can get there. But at the same time, how are you supposed to know how much you'll need to live on in retirement? (It may not be the 80% often quoted.)
And, more importantly, how can I figure out when I'm going to die? (Death clocks not withstanding)
Now that ING owns ShareBuilder, it makes sense for them to be making a bigger deal out of investing for the future. We'll see how long the "your number" campaign plays out.
Open thread: what are your favorite personal finance books?
I'll start it off. Two of mine are:
The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing got me started on the path to index investing, helping me realize that there is no way to long-term successfully beat the market. It preaches paying low fees and going along for the ride, rather than trying to actively outperform benchmarks.
The Automatic Millionaire taught me about paying yourself first and automating savings and investing. When you're automatically socking money away, you're increasing your net worth without even thinking about it.
Share your thoughts. What are your favorite personal finance books?
Trent at the Simple Dollar posited to his readers last week that investing in individual stocks is basically gambling.
Individual stock investing is something like playing blackjack at a casino where, on every hand, the dealer is wagering just a little tiny bit more than you, but there are thousands of people around you shouting out suggestions.
He argues that you might have a slight advantage (his italics), but being profitable is "far from a guarantee and the work needed to get those earnings is tremendous."
Obviously, the fools at The Motley Fool feel otherwise. In their story on how to get 50% annual returns, here's what they suggest:
Lesson 1: Sell your index fund
There is no surer way to not beat the index than by investing in the index itself. Not exactly a revelation, right? Investing in index funds leads to nearly certain long-run underperformance, because of transaction costs and management fees.
Putting aside the preposterous proposition of actually getting 50% returns (which they admit), are they actually arguing that transaction costs and management fees are the downfall of index funds?
That doesn't make any sense. Index funds are great because, in addition to owning an entire index, they're passively managed and have some of the lowest fees in the market.
I actually met Tim Hanson, one of the authors of the article, when I interviewed at the Motley Fool (full disclosure: they didn't offer me the job because they were "going to give priority to candidates with more experience in investing." — aka stock picking).
I told him index funds were my investments of choice, and while he agreed they are the right way to go for 80% of investors, the Fool recommends an "index-plus" approach … meaning, invest in an index fund and buy the stocks they are hocking in their newsletters (because that's what they're really selling you).
Not only are they suggesting ways to get almost impossible 50% returns, but they're spreading disinformation in the process.
Please remember to think about who benefits from the "advice" you get.
There are several ways to estimate returns on investments in education. One way is to compare wages between jobs using general workforce skills with jobs that need college degree skills.
Compare wages for a certified teacher with a college degree to wages for a teaching assistant, for example.
Another way converts college tuition and expenses into an estimate of a minimum wage or minimum salary increase that will make college a paying investment. The process requires interest calculations because money paid for college tuition and expenses could be used to buy stocks and bonds or other interest earning assets.
Tuition and expenses amounts to an investment in a higher paying job, even though college students may want to go to college for other reasons.
Suppose in-state tuition at public college is $6,000 per year each year for four years. In some states like North Carolina, the state tuition is reported as $3,886, while in others like Michigan it is $7,115. Some are above and some are below, but let's use $6,000 as a representative tuition for 2007.
In the first year, $6,000 invested in stocks and bonds would earn interest or dividends. Similarly in the second year, except $12,000 would be invested and the second year earns interest or dividends on $12,000.
At the end of four years at the time of graduation, the principal invested and the interest earned is a total amount, which will equal $27,230.82 at 5 percent interest.
The principal amount of $27,230.82 earning 5 percent interest over the next 10 years and compounding monthly will be equal to $44,849.42. Start at graduation and $288.82 of extra income each month over the next 10 years using 5 percent interest will also be the same $44,848.63.
The $288.82 equals the minimum extra monthly earnings necessary to pay for a college education at an interest rate of 5 percent. Using a forty-hour week and 160 hours a month, it is less than $2.00 an hour of extra wage and salary that pays for college.
Nothing is a guarantee — but expect college to pay.
Our thanks for these calculations go to the built-in spreadsheet functions on MS Excel. Experiment yourself.
Use the Excel help file under FV, which is the future value function. The spreadsheet entries above are =FV(.05/12,120,0,-27230.82,1) and =FV(.05/12,120,-288.82,0,0).

Stanley Bing has an amusing post up today about the qualities of the stock market and how they translate into a person.
Among them, he offers up:
Rich: There's a lot of money in the stock market. Having all that money doesn't really make it any happier, though.
Nervous: In fact, being so wealthy and privileged makes it incredibly anxious. If peace of mind rests in the feeling that one has nothing to lose, the Market is the exact opposite. It has everything to lose, first and foremost in its anxious, monkey mind.
Greedy: Over-riding that anxiety is a fine patina of opportunism and atavistic desire to get more, have more, to profit while others are screaming down into the ocean of defeat. When the greed overcomes the nervousness, the Market is happy and flies very high;
Gutless: On the other hand, even the specter of a shadow of a doubt that things could go the other way and the Market starts heading for the exit. In a disaster, this is not the person you want in the lifeboat with you. If it doesn't push you overboard, it will try to eat your leg;
Intelligent: Nobody is saying the Market is stupid. It's not. It's just like a lot of my friends — too crazy to be smart a lot of the time;
Irrational: I don't care how many PowerPoint presentations investment bankers, lawyers and security analysts offer to me at boondoggles past, present and future, nobody will ever convince me that the Market is rational. Buffett to the rescue! Hurrah! Let's go up! Oooh. Wait. Buffett's motives are impure. Ouch. Let's go down. Sure, apologists for the Market will come up with a million reasons it does things. So do we all.
Of course it's possible to beat the market. It can be done, and it has been done.
But the more important question: is it worth it? What will it cost you to beat the market?
I don't know about you, but I don't have the time or money to try and beat the market. The chances of it happening are slim, and even if it happens, it'll cost you the difference in fees.
While the mainstream media is all over the place with news of the stock market's big drop Thursday, the community at social news site Digg isn't worried.
Check out some of the right-on-the-money comments from this story: Have any money in a 401(k)? You just lost a huge chunk.
cause letting it sit under my matress is so much better. It can take a dunk considering its been steady going up for the last five years.
The market will come back eventually. Now is actually the perfect time to BUY! Buy cheap sell high, and live below your means, you will retire well.
the title has nothing to do with the article. the whole point of a 401k is longterm investment for your retirement. one crappy period in the span of the 40 years until you retire really isn't worth losing any sleep over
These comments are encouraging, especially when the mainstream media is so focused on the stock market's fall.
Now, one could argue that Digg users tend to be younger than most mainstream media consumers, therefore have a longer time to go before they retire.
But it's really good to see smart personal finance fundamentals spread.
I like to read (and sometimes answer) the questions on LinkedIn (add me to your network) every so often, especially in the personal finance and Web development categories.
The other day, I ran into a great question with some not-so-great answers.
Money Management: They teach in school that best way to generate returns from capital is through proper money management. What is your money management method? How do you ensure that you are employing your savings profitably? What are the best ways to protect investments from market crash and along with saving taxes?
This question goes to the heart of managing your money.
How do you save? How do you ensure you're getting good returns on your money? How do you prepare yourself for highs and lows in the markets?
As is usually the case with LinkedIn questions, the people providing the answers are the ones hoping to make some money off of the question. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but (as often happens) the answerers are providing poor information in hopes of making a buck.
Check out these answers.
From a Capital Market Professional: "I am afraid there is no direct answer. But there are mitigation possibilities. If you find the equity market has gone over board from medium / long term point of view, start moving moneys to fixed return investments (basically debts-deposits, etc)."
From a Manager Product Marketing: "Not having any investments takes away the sorrow of having to protect it. So I would say that proper money management is to spend it."
From the Owner of a Personal Wealth Management company: "Wealth Management - my thoughts though influenced by U.S. laws (eg. tax statues) are universal: [LINK TO WEBSITE]"
These aren't bad answers, per se, but none of them are truly helpful.
Money management isn't hard, and if you know the basics, you don't need to listen to the noise. Here's my answer to the question.
There are tried-and-true, easy ways to properly manage your money. You don't need to pay for someone to tell you these.
1) Spend less than you earn.
2) Pay yourself first.
3) Automate your payments and savings/retirement contributions.
4) Invest in index funds.
5) Diversify your investments — stock funds, bond funds and int'l funds.
6) Stick with it. Don't time the market.
On a side note, make sure you're getting the most from your checking/savings account. FDIC-insured online accounts often yield much higher interest rates than brick and mortars.
Most of these people are out there to make a buck off of you, but you don't have to be afraid of managing your own money. In fact, once you get the fundamentals down, you can even purchase investments that outperform the "professionals."

Pursuing Early Financial Independence through Dividend Growth Investing and other Passive Income.
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Recent Transaction
I sold the May 18th $37.50 put for $1.30. I chose the $37.50 strike because it is currently out of the money, offers a very compelling option premium and will give a great YOC based on the current dividend payout. Plus it doesn't hurt that if come expiration date the option is expired I'll have the shares in time to collect their next dividend payout since typically their next record date is at the end of May. By selling the put option I received $1.30 * 100 - $7.99 = $122.01 in option premium now to use as I see fit.
The trade can turn out in 1 of 3 ways.
(1) If LO is trading above $37.50 on May 18th, I will get to keep the full $122.01 as profit. This would represent a 3.25% return in just over 2 months which represents a 17.46% annualized return.
(2) If LO is trading below $37.50 on May 18th, I will be forced to purchase 100 shares of LO for $37.50 each. Of course I get to back out the option premium in my cost basis as follows $37.50 * 100 - $122.01 + $7.95 / 100 = $36.36. Based on the current annual payout of $2.20 per share, this would be a 6.05% YOC.
(3) If LO makes a big move up in price I could close out the trade prior to execution netting a return less than the $122.01.
Overall I'm happy with how this option can play out. I'd like to own another solid DG stock and think the menthol ban won't be an issue going forward meaning it's just short term noise causing a very good entry point for investors.
This is also my first trade that I've done on margin. Since I'm using margin I don't have to hold the full $3,750 in my account to cover the put, although for this first one I will be keeping the total funds there as a precaution. My current margin requirement, the cash needed to maintain the margin account and avoid a potential margin call, is $1,003.25. For an explanation of what margin is and how it works check out this post.
I've updated my Option Summary page to reflect this trade.
7 comments:
Congrats on your first margin trade JC! I believe this is a great trade and either ending wouldn't be a wrong move! I have been eyeing LO myself for quite awhile. Doesn't hurt they just announced last week a $500M stock repurchase over the course of 2013. I think this will provide some tremendous value in addition to the great dividends being paid.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks. The opportunity no matter how the trade turns out was a little to good to pass up since I don't think anything will come of the menthol ban. That share repurchase program will help to prop up the stock price too. I'm not sure how I'd like this to work out, probably have the stock close at $0.01 below the strike so it's in the money but I get a big discount on the shares from the premium. I'd like to be able to juice up my yield some more and this would go a long ways towards helping with that. Although I don't think that's how it will play out, I'm expecting it to either expire out of the money or that I buy it back early.
Thanks for stopping by!
Nice trade. I started using margin earlier this year to purchase CSX and then sell a call on those shares. I think the important thing is to have cash on hand incase of a margin call. I want to be able to buy if the market/stock crashes, not sell to cover a margin call. It was a wise move to educate yourself before using margin; it scared a lot of retail investors back in 2008 & 2009.ReplyDeleteReplies
I meant scarred, not scared,Delete
Having the cash quickly available is very important if you want to avoid a margin call. And most brokerages have the right to sell any shares in your account to be able to meet the margin call, so they probably won't be doing it the way you would. I figured it was pretty simple to understand but I hadn't ever really looked into it. I'm glad I did because my put selling will net me more option premium than going the cash secured route since I can use a bit of leverage.

Great trade to make. I may consider something similar, I've been looking at Lorrilard for a while now and waiting for it to drop back down but am not sure that's going to happen in the near future.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'd was very close to just purchasing LO outright, but decided on the put instead. If I had my choice it would be trading just under the strike on expiration and I'd have the shares put to me for a big discount. I expect there to be a bounce back up after the menthol ban talks die down.Delete

Watch: Babies Eat Lemons for the First Time, in Slow Motion
If you thought giving babies gross things to eat was funny before, just wait until you watch it in slow motion.
Photographers David Wile and April Maciborka first unveiled their "Pucker'' series last year. Despite it's unusual premise – portraits featuring babies in perplexed agony after their first bite of a lemon – the collection of images quickly went viral.
Now the pair has released a video follow-up to the original project, featuring kids that are just too cute to ignore:

France's National Front leader Marine Le Pen told thousands of supporters, "This is our country!" She attacked globalisation and "Islamic fundamentalism."
France's far-right party leader Marine Le Pen on Sunday told thousands of flag-waving supporters chanting "This is our country!" that she alone would protect them against "Islamic fundamentalism" and globalisation if elected president in May.
Donald Trump's victory in the US and Britons' vote to leave the EU have buoyed Le Pen's anti-immigration, anti-EU National Front (FN) hopes for similar populist momentum in France.
"What is at stake in this election ... is whether France can still be a free nation," Le Pen told supporters at her campaign launch rally. "The divide is not between the left and right anymore but between patriots and globalists!"
Le Pen says she would drastically curb migration, expel all illegal migrants and reserve certain rights now available to all residents, including free education, to French citizens only. She said an FN government would also take France out of the eurozone and hold a referendum on EU membership.
TRT World's James Champion has more on Le Pen's presidential bid.
