Just wanted to quickly share with you one last shot from my May photo shoot with Sarah, Malia and Maggie. By now you're probably sick of this BCBGMAxAzria jumpsuit, but obviously I am obsessed with it! I paired it with patent black pumps by Pour La Victoire, Ray-Ban Wayfarers and bright lips. As you can see from some of my other style posts in this jumpsuit, the back is open. Perfect for warm summer nights!

Many traders who start out focus on being right and fall into this pattern. They let their losers ride and cut their profits short and believe that as long as their indicator is accurate often enough they will be successful traders, as you can see in this example this is not the case.
This occurs more often than you can ever imagine and believe it or not there's reasonable explanation for why this occurs. People are conditioned to associate success in the market with the accuracy of their trading. They believe if they win more often then they lose then they'll be successful, they believe that "winning" is the secret to making money; the majority of people don't proceed further. Their focus on what is necessary to succeed stops there.
The majority of people bring to "trading" the same attributes that have made them successful in their lives, and that is their competitive "winning" nature. People by nature love to compete and love to "win": "winning" at sport. Winning in business, winning in all aspects of their lives, its basic human nature. However to "win", also means to be "right". We have been taught from an early age that a good grades at school is far better than a low grades. This continues later in school when a higher exam score is better than a lower exam score, and the only way we're able to achieve higher scores is to be "right" more often than not!
So we have been conditioned about the importance of being "right" throughout our lives. Instinctively we want to;
• know the "right" answer,
• buy the "right" car,
• purchase the "right" house,
• purchase the "right" insurance coverage
• select the "right" school for our kids,
• pick the "right" 401k plan
• pick the "right" lottery ticket
Unfortunately, it's this one powerful characteristic that most people possess that works against the objective in making money trading. This is because the significance or consequence of loving to "win" and being "right" pushes most people instinctively to pursue a high winning or high accuracy trading method or indicator. People instinctively gravitate towards swing trade methods that have an 80% to 95% accuracy rate. Yet for trading as seen by my example using a high ratio of winning trades, wishing to "win" and being "right" isn't that important, and if anything, can work against your objective in making money.
Creating a method with high expectancy is the far more important than having a high percentage of winning trades. . And this goes for all traders, regardless of whether they're discretionary or mechanical. Unless we as traders know that our methodology produces a positive expectancy, then we're doomed to failure from the very start and we can forget all about money management and psychology or any other aspect of trading. Trading with Negative expectancy is like going to Las Vegas and trying to win from a casino on a consistent basis, without cheating, it's statistically impossible.

The State Comptrollers Office has released its audit of the Saratoga Springs Housing Authority. Thomas DiNapoli says improvements need to be made there. And Saturday, the Chair of the Housing Board, responded to the audit. Our Beth Croughan has more.
Weller said cost is why a flight to Phoenix was canceled and instead another one booked to Vegas for travel to a conference in 2011.
But according to an audit from the State Comptroller's office, that's just one example of lax spending controls at the Authority. Nearly $12,000 in questionable travel costs were uncovered between July 2010 and February 2012.
"We have a difference of agreement on a number of those issues that we have to work out," said Weller.
The audit was conducted by the Comptroller at the request of the Saratoga Springs Mayorafter public allegations mounted over financial irregularities at the Housing Authority.
Weller said the allegations were not found to be actionable, but the Comptroller's audit also found issue with the Executive Director's nearly $145,000 salary. The report said it falls in the top seven percent of housing authority director salaries nationwide and was not in accordance with the personnel policy.
"Mr. (Edward) Spychalski's salary is within I think, one or two percent of the local high school principal's salary," said Weller.
The Comptroller's report recommends several improvements for the agency and said officials should immediately address the financial risks.
It also added the agency waited too long to address a bed bug infestation at the Stonequist Apartments.
"I didn't know that Mr. DiNapoli was an expert on pest control, or they even had a resident entomologist on his political advisory staff," said Weller.
The Housing Authority Board provided an initial response to the audit and has 90 days to deliver a compliance action plan.

Number systems and the rules for combining numbers can be daunting. This unit will help you to understand the detail of rational and real numbers, complex numbers and integers. You will also be introduced to modular arithmetic and the concept of a relation between elements of a set.
After studying this unit you should be able to:
- understand the arithmetical properties of the rational and real numbers;
- understand the definition of a complex number;
- perform arithmetical operations with complex numbers;
- represent complex numbers as points in the complex plane;
- determine the polar form of a complex number;
- use de Moivre's Theorem to find the nth roots of a complex number and to find some trigonometric identities;
- understand the definition of ez, where z is a complex variable;
- explain the terms modular addition and modular multiplication;
- use Euclid's Algorithm to find multiplicative inverses in modular arithmetic, where these exist;
- explain the meanings of a relation defined on a set, an equivalence relation and a partition of a set;
- determine whether a given relation defined on a given set is an equivalence relation by checking the reflexive, symmetric and transitive properties;
- understand that an equivalence relation partitions a set into equivalence classes;
- determine the equivalence classes for a given equivalence relation.

Number systems
In this unit we look at some different systems of numbers, and the rules for combining numbers in these systems. For each system we consider the question of which elements have additive and/or multiplicative inverses in the system. We look at solving certain equations in the system, such as linear, quadratic and other polynomial equations.
In Section 1 we start by revising the notation used for the rational numbers and the real numbers, and we list their arithmetical properties. You will meet other properties of these numbers in the analysis units, as the study of real functions depends on properties of the real numbers. We note that some quadratic equations with rational coefficients, such as x2 = 2, have solutions which are real but not rational.
In Section 2 we introduce the set of complex numbers. This system of numbers enables us to solve all polynomial equations, including those with no real solutions, such as x2 + 1 = 0. Just as real numbers correspond to points on the real line, so complex numbers correspond to points in a plane, known as the complex plane.
In Section 3 we look further at some properties of the integers, and introduce modular arithmetic. This will be useful in the group theory units, as some sets of numbers with the operation of modular addition or modular multiplication form groups.
In Section 4 we introduce the concept of a relation between elements of a set. This is a more general idea than that of a function, and leads us to a mathematical structure known as an equivalence relation. An equivalence relation on a set classifies elements of the set, separating them into disjoint subsets called equivalence classes.

AoE tanking is hard again. In Vanilla a warrior tank that could hold 4 mobs where God. When I did Shattered Halls with no CC in TBC, I felt I was on top of the world. The tricks we used back then are still valid.
What I miss from your "rotation" is tabbing and using single target attacks. Shield Slam hits like a nuclear missile and Devastate applies Sunder Armor (Glyphed on an extra mob too). My take would be something like

Caesar Augustus has been called history's greatest emperor. It was said he found Rome made of clay and left it made of marble. With a senator for a father and Julius Caesar for a great-uncle, he ascended the ranks of Roman society with breathtaking speed. His courage in battle is still questioned, yet his political savvy was second to none. He had a lifelong rival in Mark Antony and a 51-year companion in his wife, Livia. And his influence extended perhaps further than that of any ruler who has ever lived.
Drawing on the available information, while making a handful of his own groundbreaking assertions, Everitt brings the real Augustus to vivid life in this fascinating narrative.
©2006 Anthony Everitt; (P)2006 Recorded Books LLC
"This familiar story is fresh again in this lively retelling." (Publishers Weekly)
"Everitt's writing is so crisp and so lively he brings both Rome and Augustus to life in this magnificent work, a must-read for anyone interested in classical times." (Booklist)
If you liked HBO's Rome series than you will love this book. The stories time frame pretty much is the same as the 2yr HBO series. Starts with Octavian as a boy and continues as he evolves into Augustus Caeser. The narrator was also fantastic. Letter grade A plus from this listener.
"Ancient biographies are hard"
Even though Augustus's life is about as well documented as is possible for figures from ancient times, author Anthony Everitt brings off a tour de force in this reconstruction of Octavian's life. He is always clear about the difference between fact and speculation, but by the end you get a much clearer and more trustworthy picture of Augustus than you get from, say, I, Claudius. John Curless's reading is clear and unobtrusive; the Latin words and names roll smoothly from his tongue, his pacing is perfect, and he has just enough inflection for you to feel that he is also interested in what he's reading. An excellent experience from beginning to end.
"Excellent history and interesting narrative"
For anyone interested in the history of Rome after Julius Ceasar, this is a fascinating book. The story of how Octavius became Ceasar Augustus and the conflict between him and Marc Antony make it read as a historical novel, and shows that the truth can be more interesting than fiction. It gives a clear understanding of how the republic gradually became dominated by one man. The narrator is excellent and he brings life to so many characters involved in the action.
"Fine History, But Not Packed With Excitement"
This book is a superb way to learn about the transformation of Rome from a Republic to an Imperial Monarchy. You definitely come away with a good understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of Caesar Augustus. The story is a very interesting one, but this is not written to be a page turner. The narrative portions are interrupted in places for some lengthy sections that set the time and culture. This is a good thing if you want understanding, but if you are looking for a gripping adventure after watching HBO's Rome series, you might get bogged down.
"Scholarly tome"
I enjoyed this book, and agree with others who said you'll need to re-listen several times (it's packed with intricate detail) and if you're looking for a page turner in the like of HBO's Rome, well, it ain't so much. Very interesting though, and I too came away with some understanding of Augustus and his role in transforming the Republic into a monarchy.
"Great History"
Came to this book after watching the TV show "Rome" and wanting to know more about Augustus. Was enthralled from the opening throughout the entire book.
The highest compliment I can give is that immediately after finishing this book, I looked to see if there were any other books written by the Author, Anthony Everitt, or read by the narrator, John Curless.
"augustus review"
Informative,well read, a bit dry if you are not a real history lover. Well worth the listening.
"Great Book about Rome's Greatest Empire."
This is a great book about the man who created the Roman Empire. Granted there are a few fictitious parts dealing with Augustus's death that I did not care for. Also he is more lenient on Livia's the wife of Augustus than I would have been. I have always found her a detestable and manipulative woman
For me this book was at its best when it deals with the young Augustus and his formative years. In his youth it would be hard to imagine that this sickly boy with no military skills would nevertheless triumph over far better known opponents like Mark Anthony and eventually be the last man standing after the civil wars are over. It makes one wonder what latent talents Julius Caesar must have seen in the the young Octavian to make him his heir -- and a worthy heir he turned out to be.
Augustus had an iron fist in a velvet glove. He got his way without ever seeming to dominate the various political entities in Rome. He was a skilled politician who knew his own limitations and thus surrounded himself with the most able people for the job who would complement and supplement his own talents.
In Marcus Agrippa he found a brilliant military leader who more than anyone defeated Antony and Cleopatra at Actium while Octavian lay sick in his tent. It was Agrippa who created. built, and trained the fleet which would win Actium. Also Agrippa was responsible for an enormous rebuilding of Rome and constructed the Pantheon and the Baths of Agrippa.
However, like all those able men who surrounded Augustus, they never attempted to outshine him, but rather let him take the credit. In their own way they were as skillful at politics as Augustus himself.
Everitt thoroughly explortes not only the personality and political skill of Augusted himself, but he also gives us great portraits of the able men he surrounded himself with -- Agrippa, Maecenas etc. This is a well-rounded book since it focuses on all aspects of Augustus' rule and the heartbreaking inability of the great man to have a worthy successor.
This is probably the best book ever written on the man, but also on the birth of Imperial Rome,
The narrator is outstanding and gives the right nuance to the author's word. If you are atll interested in this period of Roman History this book should not be missed.
"A History Book"
I was expecting a histroric novel but it was more like a history book. It was interesting and well written.
"Well done"
Good narration to a very good book.

A quilt for Grammie
62 comments:
What a beautiful quilt and a wonderful gift. I'm sure she'll love it. :)ReplyDelete
And I agree -- I need to find something for myself to do so I can sit and catch up on Downton Abbey as well. :)
It's beautiful! I actually like the rectangular 9 patches :)ReplyDelete
What a beautiful quilt for your Nonna. Love it!!!ReplyDelete
She's going to love it! So pretty!ReplyDelete
Aaaaw! She'll love it! Missing my grandma right now :)ReplyDelete
What a lovely quilt for Grammie - I'm sure she'll appreciate not only it's comfort but the thought you put into making it!ReplyDelete
I made both my Grandmas quilts last year - they're 95 and 97 (we go on for ever in our family!) My Mum had to have words with the younger one when she found the quilt folded up because she was "saving it for best"!!
So lovely and even more special. No doubt she will love it and think of you every time she sees it/uses it. I know what you mean about not waiting...I finally made both of my Grandmothers a quilt but I didn't get serious about it until after both my Grandfathers passed away. Hope your Saturday is sunny (it's kinda dreary here). Smiles~BethReplyDelete
This is a perfect quilt for a grandmother. She is sure to love it.ReplyDelete
That quilt is so beautiful. I love the soft, vintage looking fabrics. I'm sure it will be treasured.ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt! I am sure it will be very much loved and I love the stories behind this one. Including the blocks which I think look fabulous. Hope it arrives safely at it's destination.ReplyDelete
It is beautiful, and I know she will love it. My husband's grandmother was the quilter of the family, and she was my inspiration to start quilting. I set about making my third quilt for her, but she passed before I could finish it. So I am very happy yours will be received and appreciated.ReplyDelete
Such a beautiful quilt, and so emotive... She'll love it.ReplyDelete
totally, totally love nana! what a rock star! and that quilt is perfect for her, rectangles and all!ReplyDelete
That is a wonderful gift. I too want to make a quilt for all those I love.ReplyDelete
What a sweet quilt for your dear nonna. :0)ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing Grammie's quilt story. My daughter calls my mother Grammie so I can indentify with this story. Love the quilt. I'm sure it will be treasured.ReplyDelete
I never made a quilt for my grandma. She made quilts, Crocheted bookmarks and Dresses for me and my children and it never occurred to me to make her one. She's been gone for a while now. She lived to be 97. What a great way to honor her birthday! Will you get to deliver it personally or send it to her?ReplyDelete
oh, Amy! it's a wonderful quilt and a beautiful story to go with it. i made a quilt for my grandma a few years ago and she absolutely loved it (we all kinda wondered if she would) and i'm so glad that i gave it to her when i did. it's fun to bless your grandma with a quilt.ReplyDelete
p.s. so glad that you liked the quilt label tutorial! (i need to get better at labeling my quilts, too! esp. the ones i keep at home.)
What a beautiful gift.She`ll be very glad!ReplyDelete
Very beautiful, I Think she Will be so happy!ReplyDelete
Such a beautiful story to go with a beautiful quilt. You did a great job Amy.ReplyDelete
So pretty & very special.ReplyDelete
I really like the rectangular nine patches, Amy...they're a nice change from the garden-variety square and I'm sure Nonna loves it.ReplyDelete
I didn't notice that the 9 patches weren't square til you mentioned it but it doesn't matter because the colors are so lovely. I'm sure Nonna will treasure it! ToniReplyDelete
What a beautiful quilt! I think the 9 patches look great rectangular. You have a lucky NonnaReplyDelete
ohhh I can relate to the joy of watching Downton Abbey .. sadly I'm already through with it. Any reccomendations?ReplyDelete
And I really liked the un-square nine blocks, if you hadn't said anything Iwoudl have taken it to be purpose.
Beautiful Quilt. For a beautiful lady...ReplyDelete
I understand how important Grandmother's are (and not waiting, either)... one passed away in November, and my other one isn't doing well.
Wow, SO beautiful, Amy! And gorgeous pictures. She's going to love it!!ReplyDelete
The quilt turned out really great and I'm sure it will be well-loved. It really is important to stay close to the grandparents because they slip away from us way too soon.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful quilt and a great gift. The story of how you ended up with those blocks is pretty hilarious. I'm glad those blocks found a home in such a beautiful quilt. I spent the last day and a half binding two baby quilts. I think I'm ready to do some piecing again!ReplyDelete
I love your quilt for Nonna and the story behind her quilt is very sweet. Quilts gifted are the best!ReplyDelete
gorgeous quilt! i'm in love.:)ReplyDelete
What a sweet quilt! I'm sure your Grandma will love it. My mom is 89, and I know she would. I like the rectangles - something different.ReplyDelete
What a great gift! Absolutely beautiful:)ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday to Grammie! What a special gift to her. I'm sure she will love it. Thanks for reminding me of the importance of labeling quilts. That's something I need to make more of a priority.ReplyDelete
I love this quilt...just gorgeous and looks so comfy, and love the story behind it and who it is going to...hope she enjoys it!ReplyDelete
This is the perfect quilt for your grandmother. There is an urgency to life no matter what the age, we never know.ReplyDelete
This is the perfect quilt for your grandmother. There is an urgency to life no matter what the age, we never know.ReplyDelete
Wow I actually love the patches as rectangles. Thanks for the great idea!ReplyDelete
I do love the quilt. I guess those are really my colors. I like your new colorful quilt, too. They really both have their place in my heart! Thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
What a heartfelt gift. And time has taught me, never miss a chance to say or show...I love you :)ReplyDelete
Amy, you're so smart ! Ha, get it. But this is a lovely quilt even if my joke is bad. Thanks for sharing Nonna's quilt story.ReplyDelete
I too was planning on making my Nana a quilt for her 91st birthday last June. (I have just recently started quilting - probably less than a year since I made my first quilt). Unfortunatly she passed away suddenly last March. I know that she would have loved anything made by me, but also loved the fact that I have been sewing/quilting.
I am glad that you were able to finish the quilt.
Living life without regrets is true freedom. Don't wait on telling others you care and/or doing acts of kindness. I feel like the real winner when I follow through with my own advice. Blessings to your NonnaReplyDelete
Gmama Jane
what a beautiful quilt and story.ReplyDelete
What a beautiful post to go with a beautiful quilt. And I am very glad that you are committing to labeling every quilt now. Preserving that information is so important.ReplyDelete
A beautiful quilt for you're grandmother. Our grandmothers have been gone for a few years now, but our mothers are both in their 80's, and they are in nursing homes within 10 miles of our home. We see them several times a week, one has Alzheimers and the other has dementia. The one with dementia my wife's mother quilted faithfully until about 5 years ago when she suddenly couldn't remember how. But she still loves beautiful quilts.ReplyDelete
Happy birthday Grammie! God bless. And what a wonderful gift, you are so sweet!ReplyDelete
Beautiful quilt!ReplyDelete
A butifull quilt you have made for her :-)ReplyDelete
Gotta love the go getting 87 year old grans! My 87 year old gran just got an iPad the other day, her very first computer...ReplyDelete
It's a beautiful quilt, I'm sure Nanna will love it. Well done you on getting it together :)ReplyDelete
S x
Pretty quilt! I'm sure she'll love it. Great tip for labels too.ReplyDelete
Grandmas are the best, I just spent the weekend with mine, she's 93 and we had a great time. I think she had me eating cake 2 minutes after I stepped in the door!
Pretty quilt, I'm sure your Grammie will cherish it.ReplyDelete
Amy, have to laugh at how in sync we are at times. Just finished giving a lesson on Family History, watched Downton Abby while binding a quilt (luv sunday @ 8pm.)& made a goal this year to gift more quilts to those important people in my life. Your awesome, love the quilt & so will Nonna! Take care my friend. You are a jewel.ReplyDelete
It is a beautiful quilt and a great story. It is so nice that you are able to send the quilt to her, I am certain she will love it.ReplyDelete
Wow - it's beautiful Amy. I love the pretty, soft colors. And the elongated nine-patches are a very happy accident!!!ReplyDelete
Love it Amy. Love your Italian heritage too! You lucky girl. :)ReplyDelete
i love that quilt! I didn't notice the rectangular blocks at all until you told the story and that's kinda neat, too, but I bet it was a major "arrgh moment" at the time. i really love the binding. You do such great work. xo amyReplyDelete
I love it Amy! And I don't usually love 9 patches. I think I love that little corner piece in the sashing and also that they're rectangular. Funny - your story.ReplyDelete
Such a sweet post. The quilt is beautiful and I am sure she will cherish it.ReplyDelete
Amy - I've been a blog reader (or perhaps "lurker" is the better word) for a while now and have continually been impressed and inspired by your work. But, as I read this post, I could help but tear up. My grandmother passed away in November and in October I hand delivered a quilt I made for her, so your sentiments struck home. Thank you for sharing your story. And, of course, the quilt is beautiful.ReplyDelete

The OverAchiever: More Glory of the Cataclysm Hero
Every Thursday, The Overachiever shows you how to work toward those sweet achievement points. This week, we finish our first look at Glory of the Cataclysm Hero.
We took a break last week to cover the Lunar Festival, but this week, we'll finish our preliminary look at the Glory of the Cataclysm Hero, rewarding the Volcanic Stone Drake. More extensive strategy guides will be done on a dungeon-by-dungeon basis; here, I'm just interested in a quick assessment of the general difficulty level of the achievements required.
As with our first article, I've organized the meta according to dungeon and boss for quick reference past the cut. This week, we're covering the Lost City of the Tol'vir through the Vortex Pinnacle.
