Newsmaker | Gene Delyon
Industry Focus | Retirement
- Bob Schmidt, Correspondent
Gene Delyon, founder and managing partner of Delyon Wealth Management, owes his successful career as a financial planner to his ability to hit home runs on the Santa Clara University baseball team and to being drafted in the first round by the San Diego Padres.
"When I signed my professional baseball contract, I gave some money to Edward Jones to handle for me, and I started learning about stocks and bonds," Delyon said. "That led to a 20-plus-year career with Edward Jones when they were first moving to California."
Delyon "became part of the ownership group" and a partner in the firm and came to Rocklin in 1989. "We were known as stockbrokers then, but calling yourself a stockbroker became not a good thing to do, and the industry is now using the words 'advisers' and 'planners.' "
The professional baseball career hadn't panned out for him because, he said, "it's a relatively big pond out there, versus the small pond that I had been playing in."
He has no regrets, he said.
"We're doing good. It's been harder than I would have thought, starting my own business. I've never worked as hard as I've had to since I went from being an employee to being my own boss. It's very exciting, seeing the growth of my staff, but now I have to deal with a payroll."
In these crazy economic times, how can you give advice regarding what the stock market is going to do tomorrow or next week or five years from now?
That's a great question. First off, you have to learn what your client's needs are. You have to invest for their needs, their goals, and one way you do that is by diversifying the allocations. Modern investment theory is optimizing the return by minimizing the risk. You do that by, if there are 10 horses in the race, trying to pick out the top six or seven.

Our Review:The men could be cops, fireman, laborers or factory workers when they're not dressing up in beautiful women's lingerie, pantyhose and dresses, and they look great, and the site isn't just very sexy but is amazing fun too. The action is hardcore, and the guys happily beat their meat, shoot jizz, suck throbbing cocks, and get fucked hard in their waiting asses too. And they all look as if they're having a whole lot of fun and aren't just performing for the bucks. Gays, straights, bisexuals and cross-dressers will obviously love the site but so will a great number of straight guys too. And if you're straight, and can't imagine liking, let alone getting turned on by big hairy men in women's clothes, then go check the tour, and perhaps get a big surprise. The site has lots of high quality pictures and videos, and more content is getting added all the time. So go take a look at the tour now and be amazed at how so many big muscular guys can look better in women's clothes than lots of women do. The price of membership is better than fair, and it makes signing up and almost must-do thing! Visit JackOffLingerie now! |

This one-stop destination for all things "The Singles Project" includes fun facts, biographical information and behind-the-scenes scoops on the 'Singles' cast members, as well as chronicles all of the dates and exciting moments from the show to complement the real-time broadcast.

"We wanted to create a completely unique digital experience for 'The Singles Project,'" said Lisa Hsia, EVP of Digital, Bravo & Oxygen Media. "Bravo has an extremely engaged and socially savvy audience that wants their voice to be heard, which made this show a great fit for the network.

In addition, the HUB will keep cast members and fans engaged in conversations during and after airings, and is divided into three main pillars:
· Highlights (landing page) - Featuring what's hot that week or what's trending that day to help keep viewers "in the know" at all times. Real-time fan engagement on social media will be featured here during each show with cast member responses. Will they take the viewers' advice on whom to date or whom to dump? The sky is the limit with interaction.

Call options offer protection from stock volatility
Bulls and Bears
- Brendan Boyd
If your investing mood has become more defensive recently in light of the pummeling the stock market has been taking, you may be tempted to take some defensive action. One of the simplest and surest ways to establish limited downside protection for a stock you hold, according to Standard & Poor's The Outlook, is to write a call option on it.
"Writing naked calls is highly speculative, but you can write calls covered by stocks you own without undue risk."
Covered calls, when used in moderation and monitored closely, are also a conservative way to generate more yield from a stock that you own in addition to providing a limited cushion to your holdings in a falling market, says The Outlook.
When you write a covered call, you sell someone else the right to buy a stock you own at a stated "strike" price. For a small upfront charge called a premium, the buyer gets the option of calling away your stock by a certain date or letting the call lapse.
The strike price can be what is called "out of the money" (above the current market price of the stock) or "at the money" (close to the market price with no other strike closer) or "in the money" (below the market price).
If the stock is selling above the strike price at the call's expiration date, or possibly before it, your shares will be called away, and you will receive the strike price for them, not the higher market price. If the stock is selling below the strike price at expiration, the buyer will let the call expire and forfeit the premium. You could then repeat the process and write another call on the same stock.
Since you get the premium whether your shares are called away or not, writing a covered call increases your income from a stock. This can be particularly beneficial to income investors when substantial gains have reduced a stock's dividend yield. While the call limits the future potential gain on a stock, the premium allows it to fall further before you have a loss on it, thus providing you with a downside cushion.

North London derby: Arsenal and Tottenham issue plea for fans to behave
Friday 16 November 2012
Arsenal and Tottenham have issued a public plea for fans to behave in tomorrow's north London derby.
The game will be under particular scrutiny following the furore over Tottenham supporters' use of 'yid army'. The Society of Black Lawyers described the north London club's attitude as being '40 years out of date', and said that if such chants continue they would ask the police to bring a prosecution for racism.
Last year things boiled over at White Hart Lane when some Arsenal fans directed abuse at Emmanuel Adebayor while a section of the Tottenham support also chanted offensive songs at Arsene Wenger.
Both clubs have warned that any anti-social behaviour from either set of supporters in tomorrow's lunch-time fixture at the Emirates Stadium will not be ignored.
A statement published on the Arsenal and Spurs websites read: "Both clubs are actively encouraging all fans to focus on getting behind their team and enjoying what promises to be a great match on Saturday.
"A north London derby is always a special occasion and we hope Saturday's match will be remembered for both the action on the pitch, as well as the positive support for both teams off it.
"All fans should be aware that breaches of stadium regulations - including anti-social behaviour - will not be tolerated.
"Arsenal and Tottenham do not tolerate discrimination of any sort, whether it be on the pitch or in the stands.
"If you experience any form of discrimination during a matchday at Emirates Stadium, please use our text service to report the incident, locate the block and, if you are able, the row and seat details. Text 67777 or contact a matchday steward.
"Both clubs are actively encouraging all fans to focus on getting behind their team and enjoying what promises to be a great match on Saturday."
Tottenham have also warned their fans that any offensive banners will be confiscated upon entry to the stadium.
"Flags and banners will be allowed with the appropriate wording and these will be checked before entry by Police/Stewards," their statement continued.
"It is common policy and normal ground rules at football stadia in the UK and elsewhere in Europe that flags of an overtly religious/sectarian/political nature will not be permitted and may be confiscated - please respect this request."

EuropeDeadly blast hits eastern city in Turkey At least seven soldiers killed in Tunceli after a powerful explosion struck their vehicle. 25 Sep 2012 16:32 GMT | Europe, Turkey A vehicle laden with explosives was detonated as a military vehicle carrying the soldiers was passing [EPA]At least seven soldiers have been killed in the eastern Turkish city of Tunceli after a vehicle laden with explosives was detonated as a military vehicle carrying the soldiers was passing, security sources said.Turkish television footage on Tuesday showed two vehicles in flames on what appeared to be a thinly-populated road connecting two districts of the city. Al Jazeera's Elif Ural, reporting from Diyarbakir, said that so far nobody had claimed responsibility for the attack."The govenors office said that they are still collecting information and will let us know in the coming hours," she said."The only confirmation we have, is that a military vehicle was hit and at least seven soldiers were killed and many others injured."There are reports that the target was a military vehicle.The cause is not yet known, but there has been heavy fighting in recent days between Kurdish rebels and the Turkish military.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

A PETROL thief who drove away from West Midlands' forecourts owing hundreds of pounds was traced by police lying low in downtown New York.
Javid Hussain, from Bordesley Green, skipped bail whilst detectives investigated 19 fuel thefts at garages stretching from Solihull to Sandwell.
The 23-year-old left the country to live in New York for six months – but when he attempted to return on February 1 this year officers were waiting to arrest him as he stepped off the plane at Heathrow.
He admitted stealing petrol amounting to almost £350, two counts of handling stolen number plates, and breaching police bail.
And at Leamington Justice Centre on Friday (April 27) he was jailed for a total of two years.
Investigating officer, PC Lee James, said: "People can be quite dismissive of fuel theft, believing it's largely a victimless crime.
"However, the reality is these offences are often committed by people who've stolen number plates from other cars or even stolen vehicles – so offenders have a negative impact on the wider community and tend to be linked to other criminality.
"There are CCTV cameras in almost every petrol station now so offenders stand a good chance of being recognised and identified, plus of course we'll have an excellent description of their vehicle. It's a very risky business.
"The fact that Hussain has been sent to prison should act as a warning to anyone who thinks fuel theft isn't deemed serious by the courts."
Hussain was arrested on May 30 last year at a Shell petrol station in Lichfield Road, Warwickshire, shortly after filling up his silver BMW and driving off.
Police searches on the vehicle showed the number plate as reported stolen, whilst a second stolen plate was found hidden in the boot. Both were linked to 'bilking' offences across the region.
Detectives bailed him pending further inquiries into 19 petrol thefts totalling more than £1,200 – but whilst on bail he fled the country on a trans-Atlantic flight.
PC James, added: "Hussain was flagged as wanted on national police systems so when he boarded a plane in New York it alerted officials. The second he stepped onto the tarmac he was arrested."
Hussain eventually pleaded guilty to petrol thefts in Warwick Road, Olton (£62); Great Bridge Street, West Bromwich (£70.34); Stratford Road, Shirley (£65.05); High Street, Solihull Lodge (£76.38); Hobs Moat Road, Solihull (£22.02) and Chester Road, Chelmsley Wood (£42.75).
The offences occurred between March 27 and May 28 in 2011.

Walking through the garden of life is something we all must do. And we all will stumble. But keep on trying. good write (Report) Reply

Poems by Vera Sidhwa : 227 / 560
I Walked in the Garden of Life
I walked in the Garden of Life,
And at first didn't know,
Which way to go.
I went through lush flower forests.
I ran forth to see the front edge.
I ran back to see the other.
I ran through the flowers even farther.
I couldn't find the direction.
I couldn't find the shape,
Or the garden's delivery.
This garden did not give me anything.
There was no sound, no ring.
I stopped running through,
This garden I never knew.
It did not know me too.
I stopped until.
I couldn't get out of this garden that was perfectly still.

Every spring, there is a huge Renaissance Faire in the very next town over from me, and every year more and more people go and have a lovely time in the imaginary village. Plus they sell roasted turkey legs! So this year I determined to go.
Faires are set in different times and places, and the authentic clothing of that setting would be the most appropriate thing to wear. This particular faire is set in the late 1600s in England, so when researching clothing I stuck to that period. I chose to make peasant clothing because I only had about 2 weeks to make everything. I did all of my research online, although there are several very good books on the subject in print.
This page covers only the men's city cap, but the overall project I undertook consists of the following elements:
male biggins
female biggins
male shirt thing
shin wrappings
male hat
Needless to say the past few weeks have been a sew-fest, as the Faire is this coming weekend. My family is getting sick of all the fabric everywhere LOL but honestly these peasant style garments go together fairly quickly if you have a fair amount of experience making simple things . . . .
I made this from a sketch I found online that did not really take into account the fact that the human head is OVAL, not round, so I am not entirely happy with the way that it looks on. However, the head is covered, and that is all that counts for this coming weekend.
wool, stiff fabrics generally, buckram if you have it or iron on interfacing if you don't.

Riverwalk Arts Quarter's spokesperson and board member Christie Clarke addressed the group's primary focus: 1) to create an arts alliance for the area's broad spectrum of artists' groups 2) create an art-centric "think tank" for like-minded people to come together and share ideas 3) offer mentoring and social gatherings to the artists' community and 4) be an advocate for the arts by offering classes to further assist art entrepreneurs.

I had a similar thing happen to me on the road.
I was maybe 14 and taking a walk to the shops for a cool-drink (soda). Looked both ways before crossing, one car coming in my immediate lane, seemingly nothing on the far lane - didn't realize how 'blind' the rise was on the far lane. Start crossing, see that there's actually cars coming from both directions - jump into uber-super-ninja-mode : star jump into the line between the lanes, toes facing outward. Those cars passed pretty close and I jumped to the curb. Adrenaline! Fanta orange never tasted so good.
Oh, a friend of mine got hit by a train... she was looking at a bug
Didn't hear the horn nor the train. She was hit around the left temple, cracked skull, weeks in hospital, but she's better than ever now.
I've also had other incidents, mostly on the road and other silly things. One thing I'll never forget:
Around 16 at the time - friends and I would go walking in the woods, nature trails, etc. We once found this big boulder near the edge of a cliff. Being the age we were, pushing that of a cliff would be awesome! (we actually did make sure no one was around.) Using brute force and branches as levers we heaved and heaved.
Everyone started stepping back, thinking we couldn't do it.
Now it was just me and another friend, this boulder was teetering on the balance. My friend released and stepped back, thinking I would to, but I gave it that last push. The bolder went tumbling forward and I started to go with it, I was losing my balance, I panicked. My mate nonchalantly grabbed the hood of my jersey from my back and pulled me straight, "Tell your mother I saved your life" he said, and starts walking away. The drop was about 70-80 odd Metres
Needless to say I proceed to thank him with all the panic-stricken gibberish I could muster, "Dude, I almost went over. You
save my life."
I'm normally very calm in these situation, but I didn't think I could do anything but break my fall through the trees somehow.

Many times, the most unusual time I was painting a large wooden green house frame, stood on a step ladder and went too high, stretched too far and as you would expect, fell right through the pane of glass! This was old fashioned glass, so it broke in shards. I went through and down, the frame of the green house hit the bottom of my hips, as it did so, I felt someone pull me back by the waist of my jeans. (my friend was close by at the time).
The freaky things were, a) I had a two inch neat cut on my elbow b) there were shards of glass a foot long still held in place by the frame that should have stabbed straight through my lower body given their position.
Can anyone explain that?

This is a really great thread, thanks for posting a response so I would see it! I have had too many close calls all my life, and I do believe we have angels watching over us. When it's our time it's just that, and done. I have named my two angels Bob and Fred and I imagining them dithering over whose turn it is to save me, "I saved her the last four times Fred, it's your turn!" I will list a few:
1. 12 pneumonia's before I was 3 yrs old, doctors had no help, but I died a couple times. I still have brief memories of the metal crib with bars and the oxygen tent.
2. Sister fed me 500 baby aspirin, nearly died
3. Blood poisoning when I was 4 or 5.
4. Way too many car incidents that my life flashed before my eyes, but the one huge wreck I had and saw coming I had absolutely zero fear as I grabbed the steering wheel and said, "I can't believe THIS!" and watched my life change in an instant. I have learned a lot from that accident, but not once did the thought of "I'm going to die" ever cross my mind.
5. 10 - 15 ft mako shark about 3 feet coming up fast behind me as my dive buddy (a seal) gave the signal for big shark as his eyes got as big as basketballs and the shark darted off last second as I turned and saw a mouthful of teeth. Luckily there was a porpoise nearby that got his attention.
6. Unknown incident, but back in the early 90's my husband and I were driving down near Wildwood FL going home and it was late at night. This overwhelming feeling of death and evil overcame me and him as the exact same moment as we grabbed each others hand and just started praying. I don't know what we came close to, but it overcame both of us simultaneously.
7. Evaded two kidnapping attempts in Saudi Arabia in the early 80's. I just had this momentary feeling and noticed each time before it got full swing and avoided it. I learned and started avoiding going out alone in our compound. Blond girls are quite attractive to some over there.

I dont remember the actual age I was so I wanna say between 16 and 19. I had a 1969 Ford Mustang that I had big plans of fixing up, never came to fruition but anyway thats beside the point. So I was working on trying to take the seats out which were bolted to the floor of the car so had to be accessed from underneath. So I Had the car jacked up and being the smart guy that I was at that time I didnt bother to put jack stands under it So all that was there was the jack. So I was underneath doing my thing and the bolts were being stubborn So I got out from underneath to get some WD40 and as soon as I sat up I heard a deafening crash behind me and felt a strong wind and turned to find that the jack I was useing had broke dropping the full weight of the car to the ground right where my head and neck had just been 2 seconds before on the cement driveway. I have no doubt that my skull and spine would have been crushed had I still been there. Great post

"Lost in the clouds for 20 minutes. Am I going to hit the mountain or get out of the clouds first?"
Your post in this thread spooked me bad because I do not appreciate heights at all.
So your above quote about being lost in the clouds and hitting the mountain stuck with me since you posted it.
Just this morning I watched the following video and the first thing I thought of was your post.
If I was the tourist/passenger and the pilot started to pray like that I would have had a heart attack.
At the same time I would never ever get on one of those things.

I spent 8 months in Afghanistan as an infantry soldier. We had many very close calls. To this day I often wonder how I am even here.
One particular moment stands out, My platoon was patrolling from a Patrol Base too a local village to engage in what we call KLE or Key Leadership Engagement, basically we say hello to the villagers, ask about Taliban activity ect Big waste of time really.
We had only made it about 2kms from the base when our boss had Coms issue so he halted the platoon we where in a pretty # position with a few of us on the edge of a huge corn field we spread out, went to ground, and after 45 minutes my mate royce noticed a trip wire about boot height running through the field about 5 meters in front of us. Now there is literally no way this would have been discovered had we kept patrolling.
Once it had been safely dismantled turned out it was rigged too roughly 100kgs of HME... more than enough too wipe the whole platoon plus attachments out... very very lucky.
I have also in my darker days, OD twice, the last time I passed out in the back of a taxi, the taxi driver was unable to resuscitate me, I was driven too the hospital where I was pronounced dead on arrival, they worked on me for almost 15 minutes before bringing me back. Boy did I get a shock when I woke up in hospital, Don't even remember slipping out.
Many other stories but these are the two scariest closest I have come.
