McCurdy in Art
There is a soaring sculpture on the west side of the Palm Beach Transit bus transfer station parts of which are photograph reproductions in metal and one is of an early aviator. The sculpture is easy to get to though not along paths traveled by most but the choices are to either park along Clearwater Drive and walk a few blocks or park at the Tri-Rail/Amtrak train station then take the pedestrian bridge west to the bus transfer station and walk an additional (though short) way west to the sculpture.
The 1911 vintage image is of J.A. Douglas McCurdy with a Curtiss Pusher in West Palm Beach. McCurdy was a Canadian destined for fame and importance. He was a party to Alexander Graham BellŌĆÖs Aerial Experiment Association (AEA) as early as 1907 and greatly assisted Glenn Curtiss in his early days. He was CanadaŌĆÖs fist pilot, the first British subject to fly and flew from Florida to Cuba in 1911 (no mean feat given aircraft reliability of the day). He was awarded the McKee Trophy in 1959 for his 1909 flight with the AEA Silver Dart (one of the first successful aircraft of the AEA).
Our thanks to Catherine Dowman for discovering this sculpture for us
We have contacted the County as well as Tri-Rail for the name of the sculpture as well as the sculptor┬ĀŌĆö when more information arrives it will be amended here
From the Nova Scotia Archives┬Āwe have, regarding McCurdyŌĆÖs McKee Trophy accomplishment:
J.A.D. McCurdy┬Āand the┬ĀSilver Dart: CanadaŌĆÖs ŌĆśFirst Aerial NavigatorŌĆÖ
On 23 February 1909 at Baddeck, Nova Scotia, J.A.D. (Douglas) McCurdy became the first person to successfully fly an airplane in the British Empire. To celebrate the centenary of this achievement and to honour the memory of McCurdy, whose personal papers have recently been donated to the Nova Scotia Archives, we are pleased to present here a brief retrospective of his life and career, through a selection of photographs and documents.
John Alexander Douglas McCurdy was born in Baddeck in 1886; at an early age he caught the attention of Alexander Graham Bell, famed scientist and inventor, who from the late 1880s spent part of each year in the small Cape Breton community. After graduating in mechanical engineering from the University of Toronto in 1906, McCurdy joined F. W. (ŌĆśCaseyŌĆÖ) Baldwin and Lieutenant (USN) Thomas A. Selfridge in the Aerial Experiment Association ŌĆö a group of brilliantly inventive young men who coalesced around Bell to explore the potential of tetrahedral kites and ŌĆśheavier-than-airŌĆÖ flying-machines.
Working initially in Hammondsport, New York, with the American ŌĆśaeronautŌĆÖ Glenn H. Curtiss, the AEA built and successfully flew the┬ĀRed Wing┬Ā(Selfridge), the┬ĀWhite Wing┬Ā(Baldwin), the┬ĀJune Bug┬Ā(Curtiss) and the┬ĀSilver Dart┬Ā(McCurdy). No one had yet flown an ŌĆśaeroplaneŌĆÖ successfully in what is now the British Commonwealth, however ŌĆö until the AEA brought the┬ĀSilver Dart┬Āto Baddeck in the winter of 1909 and McCurdy climbed aboard. In his own words,
ŌĆ£It was a brilliant winter day and the ice of Baddeck Bay was completely free of snow. We wheeled the aircraft out of its shed on the shore amidst the incredulous stares and remarks of a couple of hundred spectators who had gathered to witness the event. I having taken my seat, the machine was released and after a run of about a hundred feet, took to the air. I landed on the ice about half a mile away and taxied back to the starting point, and I think the thing that impressed me most was the look of absolute astonishment on the faces of the spectators.ŌĆØ
McCurdy became CanadaŌĆÖs first licenced pilot in 1910 and continued flying until 1916, when vision problems grounded him. He went on to become a pioneer in the Canadian aviation industry as an officer of the Reid Aircraft Company (1928) and the Curtiss-Reid Aircraft Limited (1929-39). During World War II, he was Assistant Director General of Aircraft Production in Canada. In 1947 he was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, serving until 1952.
McCurdy died in Montreal, 25 June 1961, and was buried the following month in Baddeck, overlooking the bay where he had flown into aviation history. February 23, 2009 marks the 100th anniversary of that first flight ŌĆö a proud moment for Baddeck, for Nova Scotia and for Canada.

Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how it's done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves.
— Brendan Behan
They builded a tower to shiver the sky and wrench the stars apart,
Till the Devil grunted behind the bricks: "It's striking, but is it Art?"
The stone was dropped at the quarry-side and the idle derrick swung,
While each man talked of the aims of Art, and each in an alien tongue.
— Rudyard Kipling, "The Conundrum of the Workshops"
Raz: "If you can't say something nice, don't say something at all."
Jasper Rolls: "The young boy's protests, though heartfelt, quickly lapsed into simplistic and tedious platitudes. One and a half stars!"
The slime rose up to criticize the work of art. "There you sit," it said, "serene and content in your ebony gloss—yet utterly useless. You think you are beautiful, but you are only a molded husk. You are glazed, but you are brittle and shallow. Where is there any softness in you? Where is that fine slippery resiliency that is the heritage of the commonest blob of grease? Where the rippling undulations of fluid motion, the flexibility and warmth of dishwater? You lack the variety of size and shape and color that glorifies the contents of every garbage can. You cannot take flight in the soft air in the free manner known to every particle of dust swept from the floor. You cannot appreciate the refractive art of the dirty window-pane in the sunlight. You can never immortalize your substance by leaving a stain on the wall. And never, never will you bring that worthy satisfaction of a job well done that every human being feels from cleaning up rubbish like me. You are not beautiful—you are a monstrosity."
The work of art listened and was ashamed. It fell off the antique table and shattered on the floor. The slime looked on as the housewife swept up the myriad fragments, all shapes and colors and sizes, and dumped them sadly into the waste-basket.
"Now you are beautiful," said the slime, and vanished down the drain.
A critic is a legless man who teaches running to the fleet of foot.

How to Tip the Iceberg on Club Penguin
This is a article about how to tip the iceberg in club penguin.
This article has been nominated for deletion with the reason of:
"Impossible instructions. These instructions could not practically be followed".
Please comment on the discussion page as to whether it meets our criteria for deletion. Continued edits are appreciated, but please do not remove this tag. This article will be reviewed 1 to 2 weeks after 2014-11-12.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has plenty of room to grow before it reaches its full potential. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag!
1Get at least 20 and no more than 50 (29 or 30 for a Stamp.) other penguins to go to the Iceberg with you.
2Tell everyone where to stand. Once you and all the other penguins are at the iceberg you need everyone to go to one side and get as close to the icebergs edge as possible.
3Start partying. As soon as everyone is on one of the edges you need all of the penguins to dress up like the pizza man and start dancing (so you'll be throwing pizza's in the air). If you do not want to use some pizza men, just go to the mine shack and get a hard hat. Press dance and you'll drill.
4Get ready. While you're doing this the iceberg will start to shake (not a lot but enough that you'll notice it) and then you need all the penguins to run to the other side as quickly as possible.
5Remember some penguins think its fake so don't get upset and quit, just carry on drilling.
6Lean into it. Once everyone is on the other side the iceberg will start to tip that way and all the penguins need to keep pushing as far towards the icebergs edge as they possible can
7Pretty soon the iceberg will flip and it'll toss all the penguins into the water.
8When your penguin lands in the water, you're not going to have control of them and they'll automatically move back towards the tipped iceberg.Your puffle will return to your igloo.Some puffles will leave you.
We could really use your help!
food storage?
fashion shows?
fighting acne?
- Go to the iceberg and dance at anywhere. But, get a lot of penguins to tip it. If you really want to, go to a 5 bar (Nearly full) server. Aurora, for example. Also,dress so you get more attention.
- do not do if you want to control your puffle
- Don't try to tip one of the finest places, unless you want your penguin to be banned! i.e music jam,fall fair,etc.
Things You'll Need
- A CP account.
- A hardhat and a drill.
- 20 penguins or more.

interesting. in that breezy hebdige kinda way. you know, the sort of way that makes you think "i should have been in london in the 1970s" because that was what brought these various elements into simultaneity so that the archaeology of dub made sense to pursue. chicago 2007 environments that might send you into archaeological mode are not as cool. o no they aren't. certainly a smarter book than many of its parallels--like "last night a dj saved my life"--which in the end i liked but only after s ...more

hebdige's string of wandering details defies national borders, dividing time between jamaica and england (in a way that makes white supremacy sorta vanish, but) it's a very rich trip. it rarely goes that much deeper than music journalism, but there is a lot of information here! it's a great resource for anti-colonial countercultures, detailing a tradition that begins with the maroons up to smiley culture's song confrontation in 'police officer.' i learned a lot about jamaican history. hebdige sh ...more
Aug 28, 2010 Joel rated it 3 of 5 stars
Shelves: critical-theory, nonfic
a fairly straight-forward history that sometimes comes perilously close to the dreaded MUSIC JOURNALISM - the culture and identity themes are not as well developed as in hebdige's subculture: the meaning of style.
saves the day however, with engaging and more detailed discussion of british sound system culture of late 70s/early 80s. i still like hebdige!

this was a great little book! it's short but full of great information and a fantastic list of songs to check out as you read. highly recommend if you have been interested in reggea but bored by the over-played-ness of bob marley and with no other idea where to start, this book is for you. it's like a companion piece for all the great trojan box sets. good stuff.
May 20, 2008 Mandy rated it 5 of 5 stars
another one of my favorite books by hebdige. any fan of punk or ska (especially 2nd wave & onward) should read this book to get some critical & social context of the class & culture breakdown of those movements in the UK, & their Jamaican predecessors.

Watch video of team vaulting at Spring Down Equestrian Center
Original post made by Richard Hine, editor of The Almanac, on Jan 30, 2007
Web Link
The combined "A" team of F.A.C.E and Mt. Eden (F.A.M.E.) performs their world-qualifying routine at the American Vaulting Association Region II Woodside Spring Fest at Spring Down Equestrian Center in Portola Valley, CA on June 4, 2006
One comment posted by csmarkham: The F.A.M.E. team represented the USA in the World Equestrian Games in Aaken, Germany, this past August. The team received a Silver Medal overall in the extremely close competition. This was after winning a Gold Medal just three weeks prior at the USA AVA Championships in California. The USA should be proud of this team and all they've accomplished! Congratulations, F.A.M.E.!

When the twins entered surgery early Wednesday morn- ing, they had four kidneys that were linked to each' other's bladders and shared an intestinal tract. Their blood supplies criss-crossed into each other. When the babies were separated the surgical team dis- covered that the rectum was more a part of Clara the larger of the two, than Alia. However, Dr. Koop said Alia had enough colon to enable him to make an artificial rectum and position it in its normal place.

Julie Eisenhower Visits Parents lly James Doyle SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. (UPI) Julie Nixon Eisen- hower spent the first reunion with her father, Richard Nixon, Friday since he resigned as President six weeks ago. Mrs. Eisenhower flew from Washington to El Toro mar- ine corps air base aboard a federal courier plane and was taken by limousine the 15 miles to the Nixon villa, the former Western White House. The airplane also carried technicians who will strip Nixon's estate of presidential gear. Wouldn't Speak She would not speak to newsmen, who were held some distance away, behind a chain link fence, at the marine base. Mrs. Eisenhower was expected to spend a long weekend with her parents. She had not seen her father since he re- signed Aug. 9 and bid her farewell on the While House lawn, but she has said they talked by telephone almost every day. Mrs. Eisenhower said earlier this week that her father would enter a hospital soon for treatment of his phlebitis condition, the only such definite statement of Nixon's inten- tions, amidst growing reports that the former President's health is deteriorating. The plane transported communications technicians to carry out work in "phasing down" the sophisticated installa- tions at the former Western White House, according to a White House aide in Washington, William Gulley. Cargo of Briefings The Jelstar also carried a courier with the intelligence briefings which Nixon still receives, he said. Such planes fly from Washington to El Toro every week or II) days. Me said there is a "certain list" of private citizens enti- tled to fly on military aircraft free of charge if space is avail- able, and Mrs. Eisenhower is on it. It is a long-standing practice to provide such transport for the families of former Presidents, he said. "We've done it for the Johnsons and for Margaret Truman he said. Nixon is still entitled to free military air transportation for nonpolitical trips Society Women's Golf Mrs. Farida Horis de Rodriguez of the Dominican Republic holds her daughters, Clara and Alta, 13- month-old Siamese twins before their operation at Children's hospital.

Theoretically, no mailer how many children of what sex a couple already has, the odds are very close to 50-50 that the next one will be a girl.

But that isn't (he question the doctor was asked. He was asked, "Of all families thai have seven girls born already, what are the odds that the eighth will be a In summary, the proper prediction to give this couple. if asked for advice concerning an eighth try for a hoy, would be, "The normal odds are 50- but in your case there may be other factors causing you to hear only girls, so I would have to say thai your eighth child is more likely to be a girl than a boy."

Intergovernmental Transfers Have Facilitated State Financing Schemes

Medicaid, the federal-state health financing program for many of the nation's most vulnerable populations, finances health care for an estimated 53 million lowincome Americans, at a cost of $244 billion in 2002. Congress structured Medicaid as a shared fiduciary responsibility of the federal government and the states, with the federal share of each state's Medicaid payments determined by a formula specified by law. In 2002, the federal share of each state's expenditures ranged from 50 to 76 percent under this formula; in the aggregate, the federal share of total Medicaid expenditures was 57 percent. Some states have used a number of creative financing schemes that take advantage of statutory and regulatory loopholes to claim excessive federal matching payments. GAO was asked to summarize prior work on how some of these schemes operated, including the role of intergovernmental transfers (IGT), which enable government entities--such as the state and local-government facilities like county nursing homes--to transfer funds among themselves. GAO was also asked to discuss these schemes' effects on the federalstate Medicaid partnership and to discuss what can be done to curtail them.
For many years states have used varied financing schemes, sometimes involving IGTs, to inappropriately increase federal Medicaid matching payments. Some states, for example, receive federal matching funds on the basis of large Medicaid payments to certain providers, such as nursing homes operated by local governments, which greatly exceed established Medicaid rates. In reality, the large payments are often temporary, since states can require the local-government providers to return all or most of the money to the states. States can use these funds--which essentially make a round-trip from the states to providers and back to the states--at their own discretion. States' financing schemes undermine the federal-state Medicaid partnership, as well as the program's fiscal integrity, in at least three ways. The schemes effectively increase the federal matching rate established under federal law by increasing federal expenditures while state contributions remain unchanged or even decrease. GAO estimated that one state effectively increased the federal matching share of its total Medicaid expenditures from 59 percent to 68 percent in state fiscal year 2001, by obtaining excessive federal funds and using these as the state's share of other Medicaid expenditures. There is no assurance that these increased federal matching payments are used for Medicaid services, since states use funds returned to them via these schemes at their own discretion. In examining how six states with large schemes used the federal funds they generated, GAO found that one state used the funds to help finance its education programs, and others deposited the funds into state general funds or other special state accounts that could be used for non-Medicaid purposes or to supplant the states' share of other Medicaid expenditures. The schemes enable states to pay a few public providers amounts that well exceed the costs of services provided, which is inconsistent with the statutory requirement that states ensure economical and efficient Medicaid payments. In one state, GAO found that the state's proposed scheme increased the daily federal payment per Medicaid resident from $53 to $670 in six local-government-operated nursing homes. Although Congress and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have acted to curtail financing schemes when detected, problems persist. States can still claim excessive federal matching funds for payments exceeding public facilities' actual costs. GAO suggests that Congress consider a recommendation open from prior work, that is, to prohibit Medicaid payments that exceed actual costs for any government-owned facility.

Though the Vietcong engine is beginning to show its age, it can more than hold its own with the other realistic wartime shooters it currently shares rack space with.
Vietcong: Fist Alpha is a tough expansion pack that's going to frustrate the hell out of many players, even with its many virtues.
There's really no way of getting around it. Vietcong and the expansion offer a type of gameplay in a shooter that you can't really find in any other setting.
This is a damn good shooter which offers lots of action and options including an engaging single-player mode and an online multi-player game with several modes to choose from.
Shows signs of brilliance, but STILL lacks that finishing touch that would make it very good or excellent even...I felt like I wanted to play on, but only barely after I've ran into some serious frame rate issues and AI glitches.
Tweaks to the multiplayer modes are welcome, but are hardly enough to turn it into a world-beater. A bigger cause for celebration is that I didn't come across any of those diabolically awful tunnels that plagued the full game.
Vietcong and its expansion pack ultimately succeed in providing an approximation of the horrors of jungle warfare. The shit-scared feeling of imminent death is translated as well as anyone has managed to date, although perhaps for many FPS fans this might not equate to a fun gaming experience.

JanK.Feb 5, 2004I love vietcong and this datadisc is great!!!! i had a lot of fun with game...go for it.
J.AdamC.Feb 9, 2004Very nice tweaked add-on to Vietcong. Call me a purist or what have you, but I could have done without the consistent cursing throughout the gameplay, though I assume this all the more adds to the 'realism' of the Vietnam War setting. The environments seemed very much more real than the orig. game.… Expand
ChrisD.Feb 8, 2004I thought Fist Alpha was too short and the developers could have added a few more missions than that.

This is what I made for myself to go to the 50s festival. The top is from dress 116 from burdastyle 06/2011 which I made it a little longer. The skirt is from burdastyle young fashion pattern 8147.
I really love this dress and it also looks nice without the petticoat undernaeth.
On the picture you can`t see the petticoat, which is red and made of some lining fabric and a lot of tulle. I had to learn that tulle is quite difficult to handle but I somehow managed it in time.

This dress is much cuter than the original magazine model. The contrast between the blue and the white makes the shaping look more natural. Good choice!

[[caption-width-right:334:"Guys, I think we should go to that town..."]]
In Christian tradition the Magi (Greek: μάγοι magoi), Three Wise Men, Three Kings or Kings from the East are said to have visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts. They are mentioned only in the Gospel of Matthew , which says that they came "from the east to Jerusalem" to worship the Christ, "born King of the Jews". Because three gifts were recorded, there are traditionally said to have been three Magi, though Matthew does not specify their number.
According to Matthew, the magi followed a star which came to be known as the StarOfBethlehem. As they approached Jerusalem, Herod tried to trick them into revealing where Jesus was, so that he might be put to death. Upon finding Jesus, they gave him three symbolic gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh. The tradition of gift giving for Christians dates back to this story. In many countries, they're the equivalent of SantaClaus. Furthermore, they have dreams from God warning them of King Herod's murderous true intentions for Jesus and return home by a different route to ensure they tell him nothing. Unfortunately, this inadvertently leads to Herod committing the Massacre of the Innocents in Bethlehem to attempt to remove this threat to his throne.
The Eastern church gives a variety of different names for the kings. In the West, the names have been settled since the 8th century as Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar.
!!Appearances of the Magi in Fiction:
* They appear in ''Film/FromTheMangerToTheCross'', a film about [[{{Jesus}} you-know-who]].
* In the JusticeLeagueOfAmerica comic story "2000 Light Years to Christmas" the League helps three aliens counterparts of the Magi recover the gifts they bore for a messiah born on another planet that they had lost on Earth.
* In the TwilightZone episode "Paladin of the Lost Hour" the old man who holds back doomsday from happening hints that he's really Caspar.
* In the short story "The Fourth Wise Man" the Mage Artaban arrives too late to meet baby Jesus, as he had stopped along the way to help people in need. He only finds Jesus on the day he was crucified, and fails to rescue him because, again, he stopped to help someone. A voice (presumably Jesus') tells him however that his kindness to others was just the kind of real gift he wanted from people.
* The Magi themselves do not appear in O. Henry's "Literature/TheGiftOfTheMagi", but they inspired the characters to give each other presents.
* The Three Sages in ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' are named after the Magi, at least in the English version.
* The three Magi arrive with gifts for Brian at the start of ''Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian'', though it turns out that the real Messiah had been born across the street.
* In ''Series/TheXFiles'' episode "Existence", which likens Baby William's birth heavily to the birth of Christ (including a prominent StarOfBethlehem), the Lone Gunmen step into this role, bringing gifts and admiring the baby.
* The Magi are the night visitors in ''AmahlAndTheNightVisitors''.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'' ChristmasSpecial "Jingle Jingle Jangle", the Kanker sisters take on the role, bringing the Eds the gifts of "mold, franks and cents, and fur."
* An ''{{SCTV}}'' Christmas show has an extended commercial with Edna Boil and her line of holiday fashion for dogs, modeled by little yappy dogs. Creepy enough, then she highlights the true meaning of Christmas with Magi costumes worn by "We Three Pups".
* The Creator/TomHolt novel ''Grailblazers'' reveals that Santa Claus was one of the Wise Men, doing community service to expiate the sin of ConvenienceStoreGiftShopping for the Messiah; unlike his colleagues who planned ahead, he left things until the last minute and couldn't come up with anything better than a pair of socks.
* The French movie ''Les Rois Mages'' (lit. "The mage-kings", which is how they're called in France) is a comedy about the Magi suddenly finding themselves in modern-day Paris. They end up [[spoiler:finding a baby underground... at the ''Place de l'Étoile'' ("Star square")]].
* In MikeRoyko's humorous column "Mary and Joe: Chicago Style," the Nativity is set in 1960s [[TheWindyCity Chicago]], where the Magi are mistaken for hippies and detained for illegal possession of gold and suspicious herbs. Meanwhile, there's no room for a poor couple from out of town in any of the city's social services, but Mary gets treated for post-partum delusion when she mentions who the baby's father is...
* In UmbertoEco's novel ''Literature/{{Baudolino}}'', the Magi are thought to have come from the legendary kingdom of Prester John. In order to get Emperor Frederick's support for an expedition to the kingdom, the protagonist produces the relics of the Magi, found in a church in Constantinople, though he and the canon he gets the relics from both acknowledge that they're not the real remains.
* Played by Quagmire, Joe and Cleveland a ''FamilyGuy'' parody.
* A popular Christmas card reads "Fortunately, a few hours later, three wise ''women'' stopped by..." Mary's exclaiming "Diapers, receiving blankets and an infant mule seat! Now ''these'' I can ''use!''"
* In ''Literature/LambTheGospelAccordingToBiff'', Jesus' childhood buddy Levi, (but mostly called by his nickname Biff) is resurrected to tell his version of the Gospel. In this version, the years where Jesus disappears from the Bible he spent looking for the 3 wise men, trying to learn ''how'' to be the Messiah. In the book, the three turn out to be an immortal ([[ImmortalityImmorality and rather immoral]]) magician, a [[WarriorMonk Shaolin master]], and a hermetic [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogi Yogi]]. Jesus learns important things from all of them, even if sometimes the most important thing he learns is what ''not'' to do.
* Referred to once as the "Three Wise Guys" in ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide''.
!!Tropes involving the Magi:
* BadassBeard: All have it.
* CanonForeigner: The Fourth Wise Man.
* CrossCulturalKerfuffle: Should kids in Hispanic America -especially in Puerto Rico- get their presents from Santa or the Magi? The eternal debate!
** The Magi are often pictured in Arabic gear.
* TheDeterminator: Artaban spent *his whole life* trying to deliver his present to Jesus.
* NiceJobBreakingItHerod: The Wise Men see through Herod's ruse and give him the slip without showing him where the Messiah was, setting up this trope.
* NumerologicalMotif: Three Kings, three presents.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Like traveling on camel to deliver presents to the Son Of God personally.
* RuleOfThree: Naturally. (Except in "The Fourth Wise Man.")
* SamaritanSyndrome: What kept Artaban from finding Jesus.
* TokenMinority: Melchior is often depicted as being Black.
** FiveTokenBand: Many versions actually make the three different races to symbolize the entire world coming together in awe of Christ.
* WordOfDante: Literature/TheBible never specifies exactly how many Magi there were; the number three is a later tradition due to them bringing three gifts.
** The non-canonical names "Melchior, Balthazar, and Caspar" apparently came from a Greek manuscript from Alexandria that was written around AD 500.

Options Trading Blog
Options trading experience since 2005...
The importance of the well-chosen strike
In the previous article, we saw what trading in the last days means, and how the sideways movement influences the purchased options.
One day left and the market moves sideways ... loss!
Continuing the previous article, we examine what happens when only one day is left and the underlying product does not move or makes hardly any move. In this example, we'll analyze SPY again. We are on the day before last, right after closing.
What happens in the last days?
Options books teach beginners - quite rightly, I note - that when buying options, they should no longer hold onto the option in the last 30 days, they should get out of it.
How can you make money when the market moves sideways?
In the present article, I am going to explain how you can make money if you own shares and the market moves sideways.

Product description
How does it feel to discover you have lived before - in another time and place - and been born again? Little Zoe Fox is only three, but she is sure she used to live in a different house, in another part of town, with another mother and father...Dinah, her present day mother, won't countenance such nonsense, even when an old lady from that 'other part of town' takes Zoe under her wing. In fact, it suits Dinah down to the ground to leave her daughter in Caddy Dutton's care sometimes - after all, to what harm can she come? Witty, dramatic and audacious, Past Caring is a bewitching and intriguing tale of reincarnation and familial love, which explores the true nature of identity, and the bizarre quirks of fate which make us what we are.

I'm flying down the hill at 50 miles an hour. Trees blow past me as I rapidly descend in elevation. Suddenly, smack in the middle of the road, I see two grizzly bears. I slam on the brakes, skidding sideways on my road bike. Somehow, I maintain control and stop, a mere 20 paces away from the two grizzlies. Startled, one runs to the side of the road, but the other holds his ground.
Is it a Grizzly?

In Search of Clean W...
By Lauren Cook in Hear it. Our Experts., Our Leaders
Cycling in the ridiculously hot region of South East Asia for months on end with no support, camp assistant Brant Haflich and I figured we'd be spending a good amount of time in search of clean drinking water. We had just finished cycling across our own country and we wanted to continue our bicycle adventures while learning something along the way. We wanted a purpose for our pedal strokes and we had questions about global water issues.
Back to Backroads
By Angelisa Espinoza in Hear it. Our Experts., Inside Backroads., Leader Profiles, Our Leaders
It was springtime in northern New Mexico. The snow was melting off the Sangre de Cristo mountain range, the wildflowers were blooming and the bold colors of chiles rojos y verdes adorned my plate night after night. Our first Backroads Santa Fe & Taos walking tour of the season was infused with that ethereal ebullient light that has attracted many to reflect and interpret its artistic form.
Pedal Power!
By Heather Hendrie in Hear it. Our Experts., Inside Backroads., Leader Profiles, Our Leaders
We at Backroads know bikes. Those of you who travel with us know bikes. We are bike people. We love our world on two wheels. They give us great joy and take us behind the scenes. We speed through the countryside along quiet trails. We feel empowered with the wind in our hair and the strength of our pedals.
Rhode Rash Team
By Alessandro Fusaro in Guest Profiles, Inside Backroads.
During my time in Tuscany, I led the Backroads biking trip several times but I have never had the feeling I was repeating something. I just love being with people and getting to know their stories: that's the main reason why I applied for this job in the first place and that's also why every trip is so unique.
Happy Feet, Happy Vacation
By Jillian Parlee in Active Travel Pitfalls, Hear it. Our Experts., Our Leaders, Tips. Tools.
Happy comfortable feet empower you to tackle indulgent adventures and find delight in every moment. Having proper footwear should be priority numero uno as you begin packing for your trip. Whether you are biking, hiking or dancing your way through your vacation, these are the best ways to take care of your most-used instruments of travel, your feet.
Expectations Matter
By Dirk Badenhorst in Active Travel Pitfalls, Hear it. Our Experts., Our Leaders, Tips. Tools.
The wind is blowing in your face, which is usually a pleasant feeling but today it's making the riding one hell of a lot tougher. Your head feels heavy and your eyes are fixed on the tarmac just inches ahead of your front wheel, the beautiful scenery stopped mattering a long time ago. As the sweat drips from your face, you struggle to find your breath and you wonder, "How in the hell was I ever talked into going on an active travel trip?"
Connect with Locals
By Jane Mangione in All Europe, Behind the Scenes, Go There., Inside Backroads., Italy
One of the best parts of a Backroads trip is the connection with a place and its locals, and one of the best parts of being a Backroads leader is creating our own connections and facilitating them for our guests. At the beginning of my first season leading trips in Italy, I was unsure about my ability to provide this connection.
Cyclists Hosting Cyclists
By Lauren Cook in Eat. Sleep. Drink., Go There., United States, Where to Stay
After finishing a Backroads' trip, do you crave more hours in the saddle? More time on your bike? More adventures?! One of my favorite ways to spend time cycling in between leading Backroads' trips is on "bike tour." What is this? It's when you head out on your bike for overnight adventures.
Ultralight is right
By Dirk Badenhorst in Active Travel Pitfalls, Tips. Tools.
Riding 4,000 miles across the country gave me plenty of time to think about all of life's intricacies and plenty of time to scold myself for over-packing my bicycle. Nothing can ruin a trip like realizing you've been too liberal with your packing and purchasing habits.
Saying "Yes" to Argentina
By Liz Hale in Backroads Guests, Go There., Hear it. Our Experts., Latin America
Stepping outside your comfort zone is an extraordinary opportunity although it's something we often shy away from as we tend to find solace in the routine of our lives. Our group of 22 women just returned from a private Backroads mountain biking trip in Argentina's Lake District. From the moment we met our Backroads leaders, our group of accomplished, take-charge women began to let go of our insecurities and ease into the rhythm of our adventure.

If you're lucky enough to visit Italy, then you undoubtedly need to experience one of Italy's great initiatives, agriturismos. If you're lucky enough to travel to Italy with Backroads, we'll take you there. For lunch! Agriturismos are farms with lodging for travelers.
Tom Hale on fitness

I used to be pretty serious about the whole competitive running thing. I've run my whole life. And I've run myself into the ground—quite literally. I've had plenty of injuries. Too many, in fact. And those injuries prompted me to develop Tom Hale Total Health.
From 0 to 60
By Kimberly Defanti in Activities, Backroads Staff, Fitness Tips, Hear it. Our Experts., See It. Do It., Tips. Tools.
When I started working at Backroads this past June, I had never been on a road bike in my life. But this October, I joined 230 of my coworkers at our annual Staff Ride, which this year was held in Spain, and cycled 25-60 miles a day. Here's what I learned, going from 0 miles a day to 60…
