The BlackHat Interview: 1/4
HFMod note (Andy): The much anticipated BlackHat interview is here. Questions came from myself and members of writing and intern teams. BIG thanks to BH for his really in-depth/quality/quick responses. I promise all of you will have some great takeaways from this series.
If you don't know of BlackHat, he has been in the HF industry for 5 years (broke in straight from ugrad), has been one of the most active members on the site this year, and boasts a formidable 173:25 sb:ms ratio.
Here's how the four part series will go:
- Background / breaking into HF
- HF info + Money & Motivation
- Career advice for all you WSO Monkeys + how he advanced in his career
- General life tips
First Q: How did you break into HF?
(btw, try to keep your questions relevant to the current post as he will have likely already answered it in an upcoming post.)
In college I was pretty sure of what I wanted to do with myself by the time I got into my Junior year, and it was definitely some sort of investing, preferably at a hedge fund since I'd always enjoyed looking for shitty companies as well – yes, that was my reasoning for HF vs AM. Anyway, I did what everyone else was doing and applied for all the banking jobs and the few PE jobs offering summer internships, but also a few investing firms that I didn't put too much thought into. I got interviews at some of the BB banks, a few of the upper boutiques, one at a megafund PE shop, and another at an investment firm I had never heard of.
Well, turns out I hated most of the guys interviewing me at the banking stints and didn't care much for the PE place either, and the kinds of questions they were asking me made absolutely no sense to me. I instantly loved the interviewer and their description of the investment firm, and most of our conversation was just about stuff going on in the markets, investment philosophy, and what we thought of certain businesses. I absolutely loved it and ended up taking an offer at this firm, which was a bit of an AM/HF hybrid, but focused intensely on value.
I think I got a really good experience there learning how to develop my own investment thesis from like-minded investors who were – strangely enough – actually happy to help me think through my ideas without seeing any tangible benefit for themselves. Not sure how many of those shops are left on Wall Street, but I was lucky enough to land at one out of college. From there, I got a call one day from a headhunter asking if I wanted to take a job at what was a pretty hot hedge fund at the time, and I said why not. I liked the guys there and knew someone who worked there already, so I think I kind of fooled myself into taking the job because it offered better pay and an opportunity to finally be in a 'pure' HF. Looking back I regret that decision, but it helped me get where I am now I guess, so whatever.
After about 1-1.5 years there I couldn't take it anymore, saw the writing on the wall, and got back in touch with the headhunter who poached me from before. Luckily my skill set as a deep-value focused guy was pretty well-defined and he referred me to a fund that put a heavy emphasis on concentration and value, and I took an interview there despite the fact that they weren't hiring (but apparently they never are). I ended up finishing the interview with the PM telling me "well, we like you. Nice meeting you. Bye." My headhunter got in touch to see how the interview went and I told him about how it ended, and he said that was their way of offering me a job… strange, but I called them back up and said "Let's do it!" and here I am now. I love where I'm at now, I got the opportunity to move up quickly, and I'm essentially running my own money now so I couldn't have asked for more freedom than I got here.
Did you go to a non-target, semi-target, or target school?
I guess I went to a "target" but I hate calling it that. As some of you know I'm not afraid to say I went to Penn, specifically Wharton for those of you who need to make that distinction. It was a great school, helped out immensely with recruiting since it was one of 2-3 schools the place I interned at recruited, and even though I would have had much more fun at a Big Ten school I never regretted the decision. That said, I'll never give a dime to those guys for screwing my dad so hard on financial aid. They've got more than enough from me and my family.
How did your background best prepare you for where you're at now?
I guess I've always been a pretty inquisitive person, always interested in the way businesses worked and all that crap that most people say about why they like investing. But outside of that, I think growing up in a competitive household, playing sports and being constantly put in situations that forced me to compare myself to other people kind of pushed me towards working in an environment like a hedge fund. We're constantly trying to figure out what we can find out that nobody else is going to think about that will give us an edge, and for me personally I think having that mindset from a young age helps me look for the right things when I'm evaluating a business.
I also think it's helped me be a really good judge of character, and that's an often overlooked part of the business when it comes to assessing management and finding well-run companies. Sometimes you can tell when management is full of shit and when something is legitimate, and just being around people and having to discern the difference in my social life was another thing that helped me prepare for the role I'm in now. We were a very superficial and socially-elite neighborhood, albeit we had no reason to be so stuck up.
You mentioned drugs and a near-death experience in a previous post, do you care to talk about how that's affected your life?
(see below for tl;dr version) Sure. It's a lot longer of a story than this, but back in high school I started getting pretty seriously depressed, and not because anything in particular ever happened, just because I was the kind of person who just thought too much and for whatever reason dwelled on the pessimistic and what was bad in the world. Things always came easily to me and I still never enjoyed any of the supposedly 'good' things going on in my life, so seeing the rest of my friends and the people around me enjoying the most mundane things got me really depressed. It's a lot more complicated than that but for the sake of length I'll move on. Anyway, I started doing a lot of drugs in high school with a girl I'd been seeing who was equally unhappy with her life, and from there things pretty much spiraled out of control. By sophomore year of college I had pretty much done every drug under the sun and had a legitimate addiction to one in particular.
My parents ended up finding out when I came home for the summer and they went as far as to send me to rehab, which was the worst place in the world. I don't know how many of you have any idea what most rehabs are like, but they're not great places unless you're a celebrity apparently. Anyway, in rehab I got so depressed and felt so cut off that I had this idea that I'd just kill myself, so I got ahold of the only thing I could – a 500 count bottle of Tylenol ExtraStrength. To this day I still can't even see the label on that stuff without it absolutely breaking me down. So I was later told that I ingested 180 of these bad boys, and luckily someone from the staff noticed me and I got rushed to the ER. I'll spare you the details but it was an extremely unpleasant process.
Once I got out of the hospital my parents took me home and I spent a few weeks with them before going back to school. Now that I think back on it I really didn't spend much time at all back home, that was probably a terrible idea sending me back like that. Anyway, that experience and how quickly it turned around and everything was almost 'back to normal' in the outside world kind of made me realize how … not-special I was. I ended up adopting that perspective on things and it actually helped me to kind of embrace who I was and the way I thought about things. Society had a name for me, I was "depressed," but I don't see why that's a good or bad thing, it's just a thing. Seeing the world the way I did wasn't a big deal, and if it was how I was gonna function for the rest of my life I figured I might as well make the best of it. Since then I've still occasionally used but always in as responsible a way as one can use, and it hasn't affected me negatively ever since. That's not to say that it won't in the future, but I'm okay with that, as I'm okay with depression or not caring if I'm alive or dead, or anything else.
The tl;dr version of that entire story is that I made some big mistakes early on but ended up finding a way to use those to figure out who I was, then do the best I could with it to get what would satisfy me out of life. If anything, seeing the world this way makes you a much more objective, albeit often unemotional, observer. That definitely helps me at work, but I'm not trying to paint that into being a plus. Speaking of emotion, it wasn't the end of the world for me because I ended up finding someone who understood me as well as I understood myself, and all that emotion that I hadn't had in so long kind of came back to me. So if any of these things sound familiar to you, know that there's hope for us yet.

Thanks for sharing. You mentioned the other hedge fund not being a good fit. Care to share why it wasn't a good fit( was it investing style as you seem to be more value oriented)? Was there anything else besides investing style.
Those breaking into the hedge fund world and coming from nonhedge funds, what is their typical background? Is BB the norm? Those not coming from BB, what separates them? Thanks.

Rehab. And it didn't help at all. But after that I spent some time being almost dead and that kinda helped. I was never addicted to any of the standard drugs when you think of "street drugs," but I tried them all from time to time. Addiction is very real, but there's ways to manage it and I've (unfortunately) gotten experienced enough with them now to know when I can and cannot use, and which ones my body will be able to resist and which ones it won't. Plus the fear of ever going back to rehab is a powerful motivator for getting carried away.
You're a lucky one. I have 2 cousins going through rehab right now and it doesn't seem to work.

Sorry if I'm getting a greedy with the questions but I'm trying to paint a picture; What did you do with your spare time in college, what kind of person do you typically hang out with and what type of person do you usually attract? I ask because I have been down the road you have and was wondering how you came out of it personality wise.
So it seems ER/AM first would
?So it seems ER/AM first would be the preferred way to getting into a L/S value hedgefund that allows you to work your way into sourcing ideas? As you said, IB is the standard of getting into a high AUM firm but you have a higher chance of becoming more "model" oriented worker.
It's easier to break into the HF industry starting as an IBer but it seems you would learn more in ER/AM because you are directly dealing with the market instead?
Would you then say that IB is the "safer" way of breaking in and ER/AM the non-standard but the way to go to learn.
Of course breaking into HF's would be preferred out of undergraduate but I don't think you could count on it.

Anyone making over 50k is in the top 20%. Living in the middle of NYC making 150k for a family of five, basically means you live in a studio or you live off credit cards. The quality of life you have is dependent on a large number of variables, including the cost of living in your area. It's all relative.

?How did you motivate yourself coming out of rehab with no enjoyment from life?
I don't think motivation is the right word for what gave me the ability to continue to function. I've always had very high standards for myself and the way it's worked is that if I can meet those standards then everything is just "ok" or nothing changes. I don't really get a lot of satisfaction out of it, but I kind of just accept that's how I am. Some part of me cares about following those standards though and whatever that is would be my 'motivation' I suppose. The way I described it once to my [required bi-weekly...luckily not anymore] therapist once was that I have "the smallest amount of motivation necessary to not want to die."
Things have changed a lot now that I'm going to be having/starting a family. It's not just about me anymore so I think there's motivation to fulfill that responsibility now. Hopefully that feeling persists for a while.
+1 thanks.

What's your perspective on
PEWhat's your perspective on hedge fund recruiting out of 2-year megafund PE programmes?
I considered both HF and PE when recruiting, but ended up in the latter because I valued the optionality. Long-term, however, I can see myself at a deep value fund with a concentrated portfolio or possibly an activist fund. I've seen some anecdotal evidence of this happening, such as Greenlight writing about hiring a guy out of BX PE in one of their letters, but would be interested in hearing your perspective
I'd assume that BB traders
?I'd assume that BB traders aren't getting recruited by your firm because it is L/S, but from your experiences in the HF industry at large, which desks would you say give a trader the best opportunity to move to a HF after a few years if they decided they had enough at a bank?
And which strategies would allow former BB traders to be making investment decisions and not be solely execution? Mind mentioning specific funds that meet this criteria?
Have you seen BB traders go to B-school and come out at a L/S fund or other long-term value approach?
Thanks for the post!

Did you just say that traders usually don't make a move to L/S equities?
I know a guy who used to run an equities prop desk at a BB who moved over to a L/S equities fund where he basically had his own book alongside other traders while there was another team that made more long-term decisions. Since then he has worked at two other funds in a PM role. And he's told me that this really isn't that unusual...
I guess it varies a lot. After all there are many L/S equities investment styles.. Just my 2 cents.
I was wondering about your

Hey man thanks for the
?Hey man thanks for the post,
Studying Mathematics & Economics at a top west coast schoo, entering my junior yearl. Did a 4 month internship in M&A IBD and was definitely turned off to the work, culture, etc. and like you would love to go straight to buy-side, preferably at a value hedge fund that will develop my skill like you had. We definitely share the same sentiment about banking. I've reached out to you before, but this time if possible I'd love some advice about what steps I should take. I've been reaching out to HF alumni from my school and doing reading on a lot of the main texts for value -- Security Analysis, Intelligent Investor, Klarman, etc. Spoke to a guy from SAC that said IBD is a must, spoke to another that said CFA is a must...neither of which I was planning on doing. What are your thoughts on what you would do if you were in my shoes?
Hi BH, excellent post and I
?Hi BH, excellent post and I forsee more good things to come. Thanks in advance.
Just wanted to comment that im not sure in US but elsewhere it seems that there are a lot of value pretender funds who almost always hire IBD from BB. Im honestly dissapointed. I have reached out to many fundamental funds but their response is always the same.
They would rather believe a recruiter and hire a summa cum laude BB IBD guy than to someone with decent grades, strong research and critical thinking mindset and experience. All they need is fork out some time, sit down and talk over things and perhaps throw a few case studies or names to let the candidates mull over and display his or her talents. Its not hard to sit down and chat and find out honestly what truly motivates the candidate rather than the usual HR bs of tell me your strengths and weaknesses.
Personally if I were to run a firm, Ill rather take the extra effort and hire someone with the right fit than have loads of infighting. I was previously from a major fund and found the fit too short term for my liking, similar to what you have found.
Hope to keep in contact with you BH, Im thinking of heading over to US for further studies and probably some work if possible. The possibilities for a young man or woman with some intelligence, common sense and a lot of hard work are huge.
BlackHat, thanks for sharing
?BlackHat, thanks for sharing your story. From the perspective of someone looking to get into HF, it's helpful to hear one possible path that worked.
For those of us who didn't make it out of ugrad and are now a couple years out of school, what kinds of tips can you offer that can help make it into HF? Networking and meeting someone for works for a fund seems like an obvious way to make progress. Are you ever in a position to do interviewing/hiring? What can you recommend based on what has worked for others? I'm looking for ideas about how to make contact/land the initial interview -- from there clearly it's up to me to nail it.
Hey BlackHat, thanks for this
COHey BlackHat, thanks for this post, great of you to take time out and help the rest of us. I know that breaking into HF right out of UG or without the 2 years of IB is highly unlikely, so it's always inspiring to hear someone doing it.
I was in consulting (so I don't have the IB exp) but I quit to take up a Masters in Finance in a top European university this fall. I'm interested in breaking into HF someday, and I've been working towards that by reading the important books, following the markets and even doing some of my own financial statement analysis. I've done CFA level 1 and will be writing level 2 next year. I'm allocating my savings to the masters, so I don't have real money to invest but I have been using one of the play money investing sites. I know none of this comes close to real work experience in finance so I wanted to know if it would be realistic to shoot for the HFs in London right out of the MS, or start with ER/AM and then make the move to HF later.
Thanks again for your post and I look forward to the remaining parts. If you are coming to the WSO Conf please pm me, I'd love to meet you in person.
If you don't mind me asking,
?If you don't mind me asking, what became of the girl that did drugs with you at the beginning? Did she end up going through the same stuff you did in college?

Here's a question. If someone is from a bb ibd in hk, and the other from bb er in nyc, who would you think would likely land a hf gig and why?
I know that diamonds mean money for this art, but that's not the shape of my heart.

Google Earnings Preview: What Wall Street's Thinking (Update 1)
Jefferies analyst Brian Pitz (Buy, $1,300 PT)
"Our street-high 4Q ests reflect our belief GOOG had a solid holiday with the core Search business firing on all cylinders. We will be looking for strength from the Google Sites and Licensing & Other rev lines. We are looking for paid clicks to accelerate to +28% Y/Y, driven by an increasing number of mobile and PLA clicks. Likewise, we are looking for a corresponding CPC decline of (-10%) Y/Y. We model $14.1B in net rev ex-TAC vs. $13.5B cons, $7.0B in EBITDA vs. $6.0B cons, and $13.67 non-GAAP EPS vs. $12.25 cons."
JPMorgan analyst Doug Anmuth (Overweight, $1,305 PT)
"We expect Google to post solid 4Q revenues driven by positive trends in paid search ad budgets from Enhanced Campaigns and PLAs, with continued growth in mobile and display revenues. Our SEM checks indicate continued growth in paid search spend in 4Q with modest acceleration from 3Q levels. Mobile remains the primary driver of traffic and click
growth, but continues to drag on overall CPCs (as expected) given the mix-shift toward smartphones. Google PLAs are also up strong Y/Y as more retailers adopt the format and increased competition appears to be driving PLA CPCs higher. Overall, we believe SEM commentary was generally in line with favorable sentiment around search ad spend in the quarter, as spending rebounded from a slow start in early November. It is still early for Google's Enhanced Campaigns and Estimated Conversions to have a more material impact on revenue, but we remain encouraged on their ability to ultimately drive higher ROI and increased spending across multiple devices. Google remains one of our favorite large-cap ideas in 2014 as mobile should become a bigger tailwind in upcoming quarters, and YouTube should benefit from Nielsen OCR tags."
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster (Overweight, $1,263 PT)
"We expect Google could post slight upside to Q4 revenue driven by strong retail spending in the holiday quarter in the core ad business and Motorola's introduction of the Moto
X. The Street is currently looking for $16.8 billion in total gross revenue. Additionally, we expect the trend of CPCs down y/y to continue through Q4 as paid click volume drives
growth. One important point looking into Q4 and beyond is that the Street may need to rethink 2015 margin expectations as a symptom of Google's success in developing businesses outside of the core search and ad business. We maintain our Overweight rating and $1,263 price target."
JMP Securities analyst Ronald Josey (Market Outperform, $1,250 PT)
"Overall, we expect Google to report strong 4Q results as we believe Enhanced Campaigns, Product Listings Ads (PLAs), and YouTube all performed well and took share in the seasonally strongest quarter of the year for Google. Specifically, we will be watching for: 1) O&O revenue growth, Paid Clicks, and CPC Growth-we're at +22% Y/Y for Paid Clicks and
-6% for CPCs; 2) Display growth given recent upfront commitments & YouTube; 3) An update on Enhanced Campaigns; 4) Product Listing Ads Adoption; and 5) Google's
hardware strategy as it expands beyond the living room. For 4Q13, we project total net revenue of $13.57B (+19.6% Y/Y), EBITDA of $6.22B (+19.1%, 45.9% margin), and PF
EPS of $12.74. Our $1,250 price target is based on 20x our 2015E PF EPS of $63.51, which we believe is justified given the multiple growth opportunities at Google."
Goldman Sachs analyst Heather Bellini (Neutral, $1,125 PT)
"After reporting upside to Google net advertising revenue in 3Q13 for the first time in 8 quarters, we once again expect a solid quarter. Generally, our contacts reported ad spend with Google in the December quarter saw its typical strong seasonality and was on plan if not slightly better. Our checks around Product Listing Ads (PLAs) stated that CPCs have improved
versus the prior year, with contacts saying PLAs accounted for up to 40% of retailers' budgets. Our contacts say that mobile continues to grow at a rapid pace and on average represented 35% of paid clicks versus 30% in 3Q13. On the enhanced campaign front, the majority of our contacts reported they added about 300bps to overall ad spend growth. We are modeling paid click growth of 25% yoy and for CPC's to decline 7% yoy. Overall, we expect Google standalone revenues to come in line with our forecast, representing a slight beat versus consensus."

Total Health Is A Nutritional Supplement That Is At Least As Effective As Any Drug And Much Safer
It costs a tiny fraction of what doctors, drugs and surgeries do. View my video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0j05aZ-BAw And Total Health is one I particularly recommend because I've seen it work with thousands of men. Should you read any one of the testimonials on my site then you will see many of them testify to having shrunken the prostate and dealt with the problem of getting up at night, hesitancy, leaking, and urgency.
In addition, I state in my guide the research on the ingredients in "Total Health" suggests that it can also help in reducing the possibilities of developing Prostate Cancer. It might even, in conjunction with the appropriate diet as outlined in my guide, slow its progress. You could also get my guide for nothing. Should you buy three bottles of Total Health or more here, you can get the guide free.
Below is an extract describing Total Health from my guide. Total Health which combines an enormous dose of Beta Sitosterol with numerous other ingredients that assist the Prostate including all the Vitamins and Minerals which are also suitable for overall health. This is the most important single supplement I'd personally advocate to all men over fifty.
Total Health could be ideal for:
•General Health
•improving the health of sexual organs
•increasing energy levels
•guarding against prostate and breast cancer
•promoting longevity
•retarding the ageing process
One can find Multi-Vitamin and Multi-mineral formulas in plenty in every department or local health store and of course online. They vary tremendously in price and also in quality. Most people don't know how to assess the relative quality of a supplement, so they rely on the company or they purchase at their comfort/price level.
The important criteria to make a comparative assessment includes for example that most formulas could have Vitamin E in the synthetic form of Alpha D Tocopherol. Total Health contains Vitamin E as mixed tocopherols that is a more expensive but also is way more efficient. For example analysis that demonstrated that mixed tocopherols along with selenium cuts down on the risk of contracting Prostate cancer may not produce that result if one substituted the synthetic alternative. In the same way, almost all mineral formulations incorporate only a couple of the most popular minerals. It is essential to obtain the full selection of about 18-20 minerals. When it comes to Total Health, they're not only all there, they are also in the costlier Chelated form making them more bio-available. Additionally it is important to obtain a formula that doesn't skimp on the dosage in an effort to reduce the ticket price.
I recommend the "Total Health Formula" by the Nutrition and health Institute since it features natural nutrients along with the full selection of minerals plus it on top of that and exclusively contains a range of nutrients that support the health of the sexual organs which you will never find in any other multi-vitamin formula. To illustrate it includes an overwhelming 750mg of mixed plant sterols including 90% Beta Sitosterol. This, besides many other advantages particularly in regard to the health of the Prostate – minimizes cholesterol levels. Total Health also contains Quercetin and Acetyl-L-Carnitine which all help to maintain a healthy prostate in men. Curcummin is a valuable anti-inflamatory agent and Ellagic acid is a powerful anti-cancer agent. That makes "Total Health" an incredibly comprehensive formulation unequalled by any other I have seen. Since the formula does contain many nutrients it comes in five large Vegetable capsules per day, 150 capsules per bottle. Vegicaps are easier to digest. Total Health not only gives you more quality and variety of nutrients, it is really also great value for money. Check out my video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0j05aZ-BAw

So, Jessica is my bestest friend and, to go along with that, she also married my brother in September. (See some of their wedding pictures – http://www.tirzahphotography.com/2009/09/samuel-and-jessica/ ) Now we are sisters!!! Jessica and I spend just about every day together. I'm seriously over at her house every day, or she's at mine. We eat a majority of meals together and we share the deep places of our hearts with one another. It's so good that my best friend is going to be my best friend FOREVER–she's stuck! haha….
Jessica and Samuel found out they were pregnant back in December, and it took us all by surprise. Brandon and I got to go see Jess's 3D ultra sound a few weeks back. Pretty excited to find out that we are going to be an Aunt and an Uncle to a feisty little boy who looks just like my brother.
Now, I'm a little strange about maternity pictures. First of all, I have never been pregnant. Second of all, I feel like so many photographers make BEAUTIFUL pregnant ladies look horrible. And… the bare-belly, half-naked maternity pictures often seem so tacky, and even cheesy. I'm on a journey of trying to figure out how to take maternity pictures in a way that hasn't been captured yet… where men who aren't your husband feel comfortable looking through you're photo album. I definitely haven't arrived in that journey of creativity, but two days ago, I took Jess to an old abandoned house and I shot pictures of her. She is 24 weeks prego right now, and I'll probably shoot more pictures of her when she gets closer to her due date in August.
I feel like so many photographers have seriously missed capturing the beauty of a mommy "with a baby in the oven." I like to look at it like this:
"I'm shooting a portrait session.
PS: She just so happens to be pregnant."
Enjoy, and leave me some love!
These last two I think are my favorites…
All of the beautiful! The last one is exceptional, took my breath away! I love it!!
Ha! I love them!! And I love your approach. Being a budding photographer, I've always felt kind of funny about maternity pictures as well… like, why suddenly is this not considered indecency now that you're pregnant?
GREAT photos! The last one is definitely my favorite. Many scriptures come to mind about trees, planted by water. SO symbolic.
Chloe Dempsey
I love these photos!
I just saw girl meets gown and fell in love with your brother and his beautiful wife- being a wedding photographer myself I thought- wow, what lucky person did their photos? what joy they radiated and how gorgeous they were! Then I found these wonderful photos- they radiate the joy and the special time that is pregnancy. Beautiful! I just was lucky enough to shoot some of my nephew's wife- hers especially poignant as she was dxed with kidney cancer during the pregnancy. All looks good- and I appreciate your fear of the genre- not getting too cheesy. You have done a gorgeous job! Thank you for sharig these – they made my day.
ps which one at the wedding is you?
Jess is absolutely the Most gorgous Pregnant person I have ever seen in my entire life – no kidding. and the shots are stunning and amazing – wow ! now that's what being pregnant should look like ! Way to Go Beka you're an amazing photographer
Katy Joy
These are incredibly gorgeous!!!!!!! Un believable.
Check out that beautiful girl!!! What a babe!
What a great start at a great journey!! That location is so cool!!! They are all beautiful, but I think this is my fav since it show how big the belly is and Jess look is very "expecting":)
http://www.tirzahphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_7125rs.jpg -
Lisa Hall
These pictures are absolutely beautiful and you are a great photographer!
I loved Jessica & Samuel's Wedding pictures and now these…you really are very talented! -
Gorgeous! AMAZING! Love them all, but this one's my fav: http://www.tirzahphotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/IMG_7056rs1.jpg
Get ready to be asked to do a lot more of these.

Father, thank you for the perspective that comes after the struggle.
Sometimes I feel like that lowly little caterpillar with no clue about what her future holds. She goes to hide inside a cocoon. When she finally feels the need to start struggling to squirm her way out, she realizes she's changed into a butterfly, and can fly!
"In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" (1 Peter 1:3b)
Oh Lord, help us to not quit, to keep struggling so we can keep flying. -In Jesus' name, Amen

Can anyone help me fix this? I searched around, but can't find the problem. It was working fine on my computer, but then I did a system restore and now this happens. The system restore cleaned my computer of EVERYTHING. I reinstalled latest version of DirectX, Java and all that ****, and am still downloading the windows updates. Can someone solve my issue? Thanks in advance.
Hi Downfall, Make sure to reinstall your graphics drivers - This issue often occurs when you're using the generic video drivers and it can't detect your video card correctly.
Can you help me with that? I went to the Drivers Manager and have no idea what to do..
Windows Update should pick up the drivers automatically usually. Do you know what type of Video Card you have? (Nvidia, ATI, Intel?) If not, I recommend running Windows Updates. Especially on Windows XP - if you go to 'custom' and make sure you have all the 'hardware' optional updates :-)
It's on a garbage computer, It's intel. I've looked online, and it's pretty tough and I'm basicly computer illiterate when it comes to this... is there anyway you could TeamViewer me?
Give this a try, if it's an Intel graphics chipset: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/
I'll try it thanks, if it works cheers
I tried to do it, i installed ActiveX, but when I attempt to run the update thing, it crashes my IE
D'oh :-( Does it get as far as detecting what intel graphics card you have? If not, do you know what make/model the computer is? (EG: Dell Optiplex GX520)
Junior Member
Try reinstall display drivers, and then close all videos and music players in your browser or background (i.e. youtube, vlc, etc.)

I worked for a company for 11 years, and due to to company turn over I was demoted to a position that I was not happy with. After I was still employed I was hired on with another company. I have been working with the new company for five and half months, but I have been unable to meet the requirements and have been given one verbal and one written warning that my job performance did not meet their requirements.
I know that soon they will fire me and I have been seeking employment elsewhere before the day comes when they let me go. I would like to know if, in the event that I am let go before I find other employment, will I be able to get unemployment until I find employment?

Why Tibco Software (TIBX) Stock Is Down Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Tibco Software Inc. (TIBX - Get Report) are lower by -6.49% to $19.47 in mid-afternoon trading on Friday after the company reported a decrease in net income to $1.6 million, or 1 cent per share for the 2014 second quarter, compared to $8.7 million, or 5 cents per share for the same period last year.
Total revenue for the company, which provides customers with middleware and infrastructure software, increased 3% to $254 million, versus $245 for the 2013 second quarter.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Growth Stocks
Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates TIBCO SOFTWARE INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the Software industry average, but is less than that of the S&P 500. The net income increased by 27.8% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $9.51 million to $12.15 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 7.5%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.3%. This growth in revenue appears to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, improving the earnings per share.
- TIBCO SOFTWARE INC has improved earnings per share by 16.7% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TIBCO SOFTWARE INC reported lower earnings of $0.51 versus $0.72 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.94 versus $0.51).
- Net operating cash flow has decreased to $52.87 million or 16.37% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing the cash generation rate to the industry average, the firm's growth is significantly lower.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, TIBCO SOFTWARE INC's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Duran's policing philosophy would soon put him on a collision course with Robert Love.
The irony of Duran and Love is that they grew up together decades ago in a Pahokee that was vibrant, even idyllic. Even then, though, a chasm existed between them because of their four-year age difference; Duran says he knew of Love only by reputation, while Love professes no recollection of the future chief.
With the approach of the new millennium, both swore they wanted to do their part to rebuild the town, to give back to the place of their childhood. The paths that led them to those proclamations of beneficence, however, couldn't be more different.
Sitting on a love seat at his girlfriend's apartment, which is filled with a bunch of framed portraits and is heavy on the zebra-stripe motif, Love talks about his life and the town he loves. In truth, Love doesn't actually talk; his voice is usually in the decibel range between a fundamentalist preacher in the pulpit and a Marine drill sergeant. He jumps up often to punctuate points and peppers his storytelling with frequent inquiries of, "You know what I'm sayin'? Know what I'm talkin' about?"
He's six feet tall, around 250 pounds, and although he has a bit of a paunch, his athletic build keeps him from looking heavy. (His son, Robert Jr., is a championship quarterback at the high school and enters his senior year this fall.) He's wearing a T-shirt that reads, "Got sum tail at Grumpy Gator" -- referring to the lakeside eatery where he earns $400 a week as a cook.
He comes from a family of farmworkers who harvested fruit and vegetables on the East Coast and returned home to Pahokee in between. Love gave up the fruit-picking life in 1976 at age 20 and moved to a much more lucrative line of work: selling drugs. He did well at the trade, helped by all the travel and connections he'd made.
"A lot of the children around here now be breaking into homes and going to jail," he says of modern-day Pahokee. "They're crack babies. I know because I sold crack to their mommas. It ain't like I went across country and didn't know what I was doing. I was the one who started crack cocaine here because back in '79, I was one of those young geniuses who knew how to cook up cocaine.
"When I was selling drugs, I thought I was doing something positive. I thought, 'Somebody's gotta do something for them peoples who need it. Somebody gotta stay here to keep the town. '"
He pounds on the glass-topped coffee table to emphasize his account, which is an odd mixture of confession, boast, and regret. "I know where I come from. It not like a damned rap star who write about what he ain't done."
By his mid-30s, he had been charged with everything from gambling to attempted first-degree murder before he was sent to federal prison in 1990 for trafficking drugs. "Did four years, two months, seven days, eight hours, and 37 minutes in federal prison," he sums up. "I promised the Lord and all his angels that I'd do more for my community after I got out than I did when I was selling drugs."
Love was a bit of a lost man when he was released, looking for direction. After police Maced a man during an overzealous effort to clear a Rardin street corner in 1996, Love says, he and other residents went to a City Commission meeting to complain. "There was a black mayor, but they didn't give a damn what was going on up here," he recalls. "The mayor can't even read the damned agenda!" Then the city barricaded a busy street block in Rardin, apparently in an attempt to stop loitering and traffic congestion.
Thoroughly irked, Love rounded up a couple of hundred signatures from residents saying they wanted the road reopened. "They said, 'Well, we could get more names than that saying it should stay closed,'" Love recalls. "It stayed blocked four months. I worked with the police and got a proposal to turn it into a one-way street, no parking. Since then, there hasn't been a problem."
After that, Love started asking questions about how the city was being run, and he became a regular at commission meetings. "We had $113,000 in unpaid water bills!" he shouts. "Every day, I was checking this, checking that."
It was during those meetings that Love met J.P. Sasser, the current mayor, who back then was just a lifelong resident pissed off about his hometown.
"We both thought the city was dying," Sasser says. On the cusp of 50, Sasser is tanned and trim with a mostly gray crewcut. His heavy drawl is the kind no longer common to Floridians living south of Orlando. His parents moved to Pahokee in the 1930s and opened a tire shop, then a number of Shell gas stations, and, finally, auto parts stores. Sasser and his sisters took them over eventually, then sold the businesses in the 1990s. He still owns rental properties in Pahokee and helps a friend run an auto body store in Belle Glade. He's fond of telling people that he's well off enough now to live anywhere he wants, and he does: Pahokee.

The key is community: Why Blackboard's changing strategy won't change the landscape… much
There's been quite a bit of discussion, analysis, and reaction to last week's announcements that Blackboard had acquired Moodlerooms and Netspot, hired Dr. Chuck, and cancelled the Angel LMS' end of life.
There are lots of questions. And much speculation about the answers. But I think we're just going to have to watch closely to see how this all plays out. What seems clear at this point is that:
- Blackboard has bought back some of the market share they've lost over the past few years
- Angel users have a reprieve at the moment from the forced march to choose another LMS
- Blackboard, through Moodlerooms and Netspot, has a new ability to engage with the Moodle community
- Blackboard is more seriously evaluating how to monetize open source… if you can't beat 'em, join 'em
Phil Hill has done a nice job organizing the key announcements, statements, and reactions in his April 4th post. Who knows, maybe Phil will add this one. :-)
From my perspective, these new announcements are mostly consistent with what we've seen for years. Blackboard's core business continues to be the LMS. It is the basis for the relationship they have with their customers. And while they are quickly diversifying through acquisitions beyond the LMS, they can't afford for their LMS base to erode as quickly as it has been eroding. Acquiring a bunch of Moodle customers buys them time. Letting Angel customers continue on Angel for now buys them time.
It's no surprise that the open source aspects of the announcements have generated the lion's share of reaction. But Blackboar
d's strategy is not really about open source. It's about customer acquisition and retention. And there just aren't that many proprietary options with significant market share to acquire anymore. So Blackboard looks to acquire customers that have chosen Moodle or Sakai–the open source options.
Naturally many have expressed concerns about what this means for open source. Fortunately neither Sakai nor Moodle can be acquired. They will be perpetually available to anyone who wants to use, modify, or share them. The licenses guarantee it. And "the key", as Brad Wheeler, CIO at Indiana University and Chair of the Kuali Foundation board of directors, notes is
"… to ensure that this doesn't become a different path back into the old set of problems yet again."
The key is community
Those of us who've been deeply engaged in the open / community movement know that the open license is important, but insufficient, to generate the most compelling benefits. I've spent nearly a decade working to establish and build open source options for education that span support for teaching, learning, research, libraries, student services, and administration. Most of my work has been through the Sakai and Kuali communities, who I believe are empowering institutions to improve education–and that's something that I'm passionate about. Community is the key. Moodle and Sakai are first and foremost communities that have developed deep competencies that enable innovation through diverse global collaboration. One result of these communities' effort is innovative software that helps students and educators extend and re-invent education. Community is everything. Moodle and Sakai have very different community models, but for both community is everything. Did I mention how important community is? Community brings diversity–a key ingredient for innovation. Community is resilient to change–there is no single point of failure in community. Community is the safety net that minimizes the risk of lock-in. Community promotes transparency and predictability. And so on…
And so the good news for higher education is that we have built two very durable open source communities. And it's not up to Blackboard whether these communities continue to thrive. Hundreds of colleges, universities, and companies like rSmart, whose values and mission are aligned with the community mission and values, are investing in community developed and governed software. It is this diversity and breadth of contribution that gives me great confidence that Sakai will continue to thrive. Sakai is a path that we can count on to empower students and educators with innovative support or teaching, learning, and research.
Will Blackboard be a contributor in the Moodle and/or Sakai ecosystems? Time will tell. But as Brad put it recently…
"Blackboard now has an excellent opportunity to demonstrate its new values in openness in licensing and community," although "time will tell" how deep its convictions are on that score.
… and aligning values and mission is very different than shifting strategy.
So despite the uncertainty that comes with announcements like these, there are a few things that I'm sure of:
The Sakai software will continue to empower students and educators. Hundreds of institutions and millions of learners and educators around the world use Sakai with great result. The current generation of LMS's including the Sakai CLE have matured to a high level of parity. And the Sakai open academic environment (OAE) is demonstrating community innovation at its best by creating a new learning platform that isn't shackled by current market expectations.
The Sakai community will continue to be diverse, durable, and capable. The Sakai community is made up of a highly diverse group of education-focused organizations who share strong alignment of values and mission. And the community has demonstrated for nearly a decade the collaboration competency to produce and evolve great software, and the durability to endure changes that impact individual members of the community.
rSmart will continue to deliver Sakai. rSmart was founded to support the open community development movement in education. Our mission is to deliver the open platform and achieve the greatest potential impact by making our community's work accessible to the widest possible spectrum of institutions. We've been doing this for many years and know how to engage as an integral part of communities like Sakai, and to leverage that community engagement to partner with our customers and help them improve learning outcomes and increase access to education.
A couple years ago I wrote about how path matters… and how choosing the right LMS is more about choosing a path, than choosing a product. I believe that the community source path enables a rich ecosystem of like-minded, education-focused organizations to put the best innovation in the hands of students and educators. Will Blackboard's change in strategy help them align values and mission to contribute to that ecosystem? Time will tell.

While the elusive Higgs Boson hasn't been found just yet, the University of Oxford is giving Android users the opportunity to explore the Large Hadron Collider on their phones.
With a new app called LHSee, you can explore three dimensional diagrams of the LHC and poke about one of the most talked-about scientific structures ever. This particular project has been funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
The Large Hadron Collider isn't simply an opportunity for an easy and amusing anagram. No, it has the potential to unearth some of the most significant scientific developments mankind has ever seen, or so goes the hype. Peaches Geldof explains it here but for a more in depth and accurate look, it's worth checking out the app website here.
We've had a go on it, and we have to say it's not the easiest concept to get your head around - the app is packed full of so much information it's a little bit overwhelming - but we are dealing with the creation of the universe here, so it's kind of expected.
The team at Oxford, which built the app, has included a shed load of educational resources as well as the ability to view individual collisions in 3D reminiscent of Elite. We have to say, the bundled "Hunt the Higgs" game isn't quite as compelling as Angry Birds. But that's edutainment.
Dr Alan Barr of the University of Oxford said in a statement: "It's amazing to see that you can pick out the different individual proton collisions".
You can download the app for free on the Android market place now, here.

DUBB - Transition
Transition DUBB
DUBB drops a new one called "Transition".
The last we heard from DUBB, he had made an east side connection, linking up with Bodega Bamz on "Bodega & Liquor Stores". Today, he drops off a new track that doesn't commit to any region in particular, instead taking on a more introspective, piano-lead instrumental.
The beat comes courtesy of Cy Fyre & Lewi V, and has DUBB reflecting on his success, while a vocal sample provides the hook.
Make sure to check out DUBB's Never Content mixtape, which dropped at the top of the year, and features guest appearances from Iamsu!, Nipsey Hussle, Eric Bellinger, Skeme, Rayven Justice, Glasses Malone, and more.

And you won't remain the same dude

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

"Good smoke!"
The cigar has some construction issues but burns and smoke well. Definitely worth a buck a piece.
KenB in Shelbyville, Ky August 25, 2013
"Bad to fair"
Everything is ok except the draw. It's hard to pull the smoke through. They look ok and feel ok but I don't like to work to smoke. I'm not big on appearance anyway. I work outdoors and I smoke while I work so I buy low priced cigars because I constantly drop them and bang them up. But I don't want to do two jobs and that's what it felt like trying to draw smoke through these. They have been in the humidor for three weeks now. Nothing has changed. I know the price is cheap. So I don't expect much. But I at least want to be able to get some smoke out of it.
Joe in Palmdale, Ca April 20, 2013
"Good for everyday"
so far after 2 bundles good construction, rough wrapper but for the most part great draw and good flavor. Worth twice the price but Don't let Famous know
Bill in Georgia USA April 9, 2013
"Found my everyday smoke"
Been looking for an everyday smoke. The draw on the first one was rough, but since then, they've performed perfectly. Burn is a little off, but not a problem. I'm buying more today.
BigPopi in Oklahoma February 2, 2013
"A Great Smoke"
With most affordable cigars, the first week is not great. However, after keeping this cigar in the humidor for 2 weeks, this cigar is a fantastic deal, great taste, great burn, and overall great construction. Obviously it's relative to the price, but even if you're a cigar snob, you will find this very satisfying after it's been sitting in you humidor for a week or two. Highly recommend it.
TPAT in Florida December 21, 2012
"Great Smoke"
Not bad for a small price. Found it to be just as good as a high priced cigar. If you like big cigars this is a must to try.
Royce in NM December 12, 2012
"Good at 3X the price"
This is a wonderful stick. Appearance is very nice. Firm, solid with no soft spots. Good burn and holds ash. Draw is perfect. Very good flavor and aroma. Must be priced wrong at $1.00 per cigar.
Carl in Ohio September 2, 2012
"Goop loops smoke"
Been searching for a good everyday smoke this could be it......
Dennis in Arkansas August 19, 2012
"Good smoke"
Good all around smoke, get ya a bundle. Great with a cup of coffee or an adult beverage
Dennis in Arkansas August 18, 2012
"Great For Price"
I don't ask much of a cigar. I just want to to burn well not taste terrible and not have a draw like a burning twig. This cigar does everything I ask for. The burn is slightly off but it isn't a gigantic problem. Overall it is a great cigar for the price. It tastes pretty good has and has a nice draw. I would reccomend this to every cigar smoker to try.

About The Well
Our vision for The Well is to teach biblical truths in a real and relevant way to a hurting world. We believe that God has uniquely gifted Dr. David D. Swanson with an extraordinary ability to communicate God's word and we want to extend his message to as many as possible.
We believe that there is a need in the landscape of media ministry to present the living word in an applicable, personal way from a sound theological foundation. We have produced The Well with high production standards so that the message is entertaining and engaging for the viewer — more than a rebroadcast of a worship service.
In the fall of 2009, we launched the broadcast in four markets: Orlando, Dallas, Ft. Myers and Chattanooga. The 30-minute format includes Dr. Swanson speaking in a personal, one on one conversational style; it also features a "Living Water" segment as someone shares his or her own personal faith journey, relevant to that day's message. The response has been overwhelming.
Recently, we were approached by the leading network of religious broadcasting, Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). TBN proposed that The Well begin its world wide ministry on their sister station, The Church Channel (TCC). TCC has a potential audience reach of 2.3 billion. We are excited to report that we began airing on TCC on February 6, 2011.
God has been faithful in providing the funding necessary for us as we have taken each step to this point. We have received some wonderful gifts for which we're very thankful. But we realize now that it's important for us to build a base of monthly support. In order to achieve this, we are praying that the Lord inspires 500 friends who will commit to supporting The Well with monthly gifts of $50, $100 or $500. Your gifts will help sustain this ministry as we reach those in search of Living Water.
If someone's thirsty and needs to retrieve water from a well, they lower the wooden bucket and find the satisfaction they're looking for. If you are willing to join "The Bucket List," click on the link below to set up ongoing monthly support. We would be honored to have you join this special group of friends.
