Web Exclusive - Wade was a part-time case worker for the Canton American Red Cross Chapter at the time the Blue Star Mothers feature aired. The following interview was conducted by ideastream's Karen Schaefer.
I understand that you participated in the Blue Star banner program.
Ruth Wade: You mean back in the World War II, yea. I was just a little girl in WWII, my dad served in WWI. But I remember back in WWII there was the Blue Star Mothers Organization and they had like a girls unit. If I remember correctly, I think it was called the Service Star Girls, or Service Star League or something like that. They held their meeting bi-weekly in a home that had been turned into offices on West Hosk.
What they did, it was like a support group in one respect because all of these ladies that were there were ladies that had at least 1 son, some had 2-3, others were the Silver Star Mothers. Those were the ladies that their sons or daughters had been wounded or injured in some way shape or form. Then there were the Gold Star Mothers and those were the ladies that had lost a child.
They participated in the parades. They did fund raisers and they sold, I think I hate to say this cause I don't even remember anymore, little violets or something like the poppies. The VFW and the Legion had the Buddy Poppy Program where they sold those once a year and that money was taken in and I think that program still goes on today, the Poppy Sale. That goes primarily to help the fellas that are in the VA hospitals and help fund those programs.
But the Blue Star League, we wore our little white blouses and our blue skirts and a little blue cape, and we marched in the parades and things like that. Basically our job to do was to help the mothers and anything we could do. We would help put boxes together to ship overseas, pretty much the same as mothers are doing today only it was different items. We didn't have e-mail and we didn't have cell phones. We didn't have anything. Letters then were really important to the fellas too and we helped send out the mail and things like that, to assist the mothers in any way shape or form that we could.
Then it went on again through the Korean War and went through the fellas in Vietnam also. Then it was revived again for Iraq.
We've been working, the Blue Star that we're doing now, we were in contact with the Blue Star Mothers whose organization has their national office in Washington area. We were in touch with them to use the star because they hold the copyright or franchise for that. So they were gracious enough to say yes you can make x numbers of them. Our request exceeded about 6 to 1 what we have and what we received request for. So we are referring them to the website for Blue Star Mothers and we're also referring them to their local American Legion posts too. Hopefully we'll start seeing them in car windows and especially the homes things like that.
It's good for the mothers too, because that it gives them a chance to show their pride in their sons and how honored they are to have these boys and girls now in the service. The older you get, the younger they look. I see some of these people on the news clips on CNN and things like that and the ones that come into the offices here and they seem so young, but they're not. Their the best we have to offer and that is what these ladies are saying when they put that star in the window. So it's good for them. I think it gives them so way that they can participate. I think everybody feels that way whether you have someone that you can put that star in the window or not, because not all the requests that are coming in are from mothers.
There's the Blue Star Dads too and the Blue Star Aunts and of course, the Blue Star Grandmas - they're the best, brothers & sisters and wives, a lot of people. It's just one way we can show our pride and support to these people. They see the news, they see the newspapers - they may get them 4 or 5 weeks later or something like that. But they see what's going on back here and they see the things that are maybe anti-war. That's fine if people are anti-war, no one wants this war, but we've got to show our support for the troops because they're over there. I think it does them good to see that there's this kind of thing, there's yellow ribbons and other things done. It's good.
I know my grandmother had 2 Blue Stars, her husband was gone for most of the war and he had also served in WWI, and I don't think she saw him for 4 years. Then her oldest son, my father, was called up in 1944, June 1944, he was sent overseas to be part of the Bombardiers Squadron and he participated in daylight bombing raids over Germany. He hadn't seen his father in 3 years either, but they hooked up in London one day. The two of them used to tell me stories. I always thought, I'd look at the pictures of my father who is 6'4" and weighed about 135 lbs. Soaking wet and think this was a boy. He was 21 years old on his first mission and yet he was older than a lot of the soldiers in 1944. I think about how many boys were in that war and how important that must have been to people. There were Blue Stars in a lot of windows.
Ruth Wade: There were Blue Stars all over the place. At that time I lived in Warren, and my dad he had been in WWI and he was to old for WWII so he became our local Air Raid warden. I can remember going around with him when he did his rounds of the neighborhood and talked to the people and so there was out of every 10 houses, 8 of them had the Star at the window. It was just amazing that there were so many families then that were involved and there are so many families now too.
But then, you had the draft and now it's an all volunteer military. We depend more and more on our Reserves and on our National Guard then we had to at that time. It's a little different framework. I remember them all the time, they were everywhere. People had their flags out, but I think I see more flags now than what you saw then. Thank goodness for commercialization that there are flags everyplace on everything now. I think that's great; I think that's wonderful. You didn't see as many flags then as you do now but you did see the Stars. Not only did the Blue Star mothers have them, but there were the other lodges like the American Legion and the VFW and things like that, that were also involved and they had all sorts of things going on. There were war bond drives.
I remember I took tap dancing lessons one time and we tap danced at this thing and they had this bomb there, and there was no way this was a live activated bomb, but they put on their little show and you paid your money, I think it was only a quarter or something like that, an you got to sign this bomb. Well, I put my quarter in there and I was terrified that when I went up there to sign my name that was the time that bomb was going to go off. It was things like that. There were canteens open and it was just a different time than what we have now.
Now we have the e-mail and where they can cell phone and you can turn on CNN and practically see what's going on. The calls that we're getting now, the people seem to be so anxious. I don't know if it's because this is really the first time we've had the war in our living rooms, even at the Gulf War they were not out there as much and the technology and things, lord knows what it's going to be like 10 years from now.
It's just a different thing because you would sit at home just absolutely glued to that radio for my gosh what's going to happen next. Then you'd get maybe 15 minutes of news or something like that. Then that was it and it's all you had to go by. That's why things like the war bond drives and the Blue Star programs and things like that were so important to the people. It was something they could do and they didn't have all the media that we do now to know what was going on. They had no clue. Like you said with your father, it was 4 years or 3 years till they would hear or see or even get a chance to talk to any of their loved ones and not know whether they were okay or not. It's a whole different ballgame. It was more patriotic then and I think that's a crying shame. That's just my opinion.
Well, it certainly involved a lot more people.
Ruth Wade: It certainly did. It was the scope of it too. It was a world war and we were all over Europe, it wasn't one localized country. We were all over the Pacific. We were in the Far East. We were in the Middle East. We were in every island that was out there and you didn't know whether it was going to come over here either and we don't know whether it's going to come over here now. I think you felt more secure than you do now because the technology is so different. I think that has a lot to do with the people. You always come back to the same basic thing; it's something the people can do because they want to help. They want these fellas to know, you may be over there with only other military people but you're not alone, we're here with you.
Yes, a home front. I've tried to get my mother to talk about this; she graduated from High School in 1945. She was 16. She was fairly young in the war years, but cognoscente that it was going on. It affected everybody. A lot of the kids she went to school with were Japanese-American and other folks from Hawaii which were not, unlike in California, sequestered. But, there was a special feeling about them. Almost a protective feeling about them and then of course, a lot of her high school male classmates immediately went into the military. It sounds as though a lot of people, especially those who have families affected by the war directly - people in the military, which was a lot of families, did want to do something.
Ruth Wade: You did want to do something and that's way I think the lodges and the clubs, like the Blue Star Mothers and the Auxiliaries at the VFW and the American Legion, Army-Navy Union and other organizations like that were so important. This was some place where people could come together, where they could maybe get a little information because maybe these people had more connections and they could get more information and find out what's going on in France or what's happening in Germany or Italy or North Africa or whatever. It was a chance to bond with people, of course we didn't use the word bonding back then, but it was a chance to get together with people in the same circumstances that you were in. It was a chance to kind of let off steam. It was a chance to play some cards or sing, sing-a-longs back then were terrific. Somebody would play the piano and you'd be singing all these old songs. It was just a sense of camaraderie.
What were the favorite sing-a-long songs back then?
Ruth Wade: Oh my gosh, Over There and anything George M. Cohen probably. A lot of songs like the big band songs, Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree, and things like that. Patriotic songs of course, I remember Kate Smith because Kate Smith was the woman of the hour. Because she sang God Bless America and America the Beautiful and all the other songs that she sang, but primarily I remember her singing God Bless America. People would put together boxes and they would send, back then it was entirely different things that they would send. They had to send a lot of utilitarian things that the guys would need. I remember sending socks and things of that nature that the fellas needed, gloves and things like that, cigarettes. They would send more basic things.
Now the fellas, they're asking for baby wipes and eye drops, that's the two big things that the people seem to be getting now because of the sand. One thing I could remember from Desert Storm that they wanted were flea collars because of the sand fleas, now I haven't seen that come up yet, so maybe they found out it didn't work I don't know. I guess during Desert Storm they wrapped them around their ankles and their wrists.
It's things like that; it's different yet it's the same. It's the same feelings, the same fears, the same desires in wanting to know are they all right, what can I do. This feeling of dread each time you hear something come over the TV and they say it's this unit or that unit, you hear your son's unit and you think, oh my gosh he's in the 101st or he's in the Big Red One or he's an engineer or something like that. You think, could it be him?
Yet there's thousands of mothers across the country at the same time thinking is it us. There's nothing, I don't think, that could delay that fear. It's going to be there and these families they cope with it beautifully. We get a lot of calls and that seems to be the question. Do you know where such and such a unit is or where somebody is deployed and we don't have that information? We can help them by getting messages out to them, but we don't have that information. That's just something that they have to fear and it's tough.
I know during WWII when the only kind of direct correspondence you could get was a letter or telegram. Telegrams were rather dreaded. Telegrams could carry bad news, missing in action, injured or killed. What happened when a Blue Star turned to Gold?
Ruth Wade: Well, I was never; I don't think I was ever around a mother when she actually got that news. But I would remember the ladies coming in and at that time, I can't remember but I think they assembled the stars and things there. I think they actually put them together there. It seems to me I remember threading something and I think it was probably putting them together. Then you got another star to sew on there and it was a silver one or it was a gold one. Thank goodness we didn't see as many of those as we did the blue ones. It was just a different attitude. The Blue Stars were more pride. When the silver and gold stars came out it was more anguish with the mothers. The sadness and the finality of "Well he's not coming home." That was different because those were given out under those circumstances. It was hard. I now I keep saying it was hard, but it is hard and there's no other way to say it. It's very difficult.
I remember back to my own family's stories about my father was the oldest of 3 children, his younger brother was 11 or 12 and his sister was 14 or 15. They really missed their brother. They really missed seeing him. My uncle because he didn't get to fight in WWII, but his big brother did, went into the military himself and fought 4 tours of duty in Vietnam and then continued in the military for years after and retired a few years ago. It affected his life, that separation; obviously it affected the women too. But it affected the youngest boy in the family in a dramatic way.
Ruth Wade: Because he wanted to be like the other ones. It's a sense of tradition I think. Military wives are amazing people. When these ladies come in for anything, whatever the reason they come in, they are very well organized. They come in with their little notebooks and they have everything written down. I think I should be so organized. I've never been that organized and they say well, we have to be because we move a lot or if you want to live on base or do you want regular housing or are you going to stay here at home. If you have children you have to have all these records together and ready to go in case he's deployed. They're very resourceful. There again they look so young and I remember I was young to when my kids were little. They've got so much responsibility on their shoulders and they've got support from parents and family but yet it all comes down to that one gal. When push comes to shove, the responsibility is in her lap, or his lap as the case may be. It's a lot, there's a lot of Mr. Moms out there right now too. It takes a special person to be able to do that and I think it helps build character and a sense of responsibility that you don't necessarily see in other young people. I'm very impressed by them when they come in. They're good kids.
think I agree with you. I've talked with a number of troops that have mobilized since September 11th, been to ceremonies where the families are saying good-byes, they're hanging out. Invariably the families are very supportive of their solider whether it's a woman or a man. They're supportive in terms of at that moment when they'd love to be sobbing they're not. They're dry eyed, they're clear eyed, they're smiling, they're doing everything they can to support them.
Ruth Wade: That's it, they're there to support them (solider) and back them up. They've got enough to be concerned about, don't worry about us (family) we're going to be fine. Most of them are, most of them are fine. A lot of things haven't changed, again it's different but yet it's the same. I'm sure it was the same thing in WWI and probably the Civil War and the Spanish-American War when the fellas left. I thought the other day, I was reading a book by John Jakes, and I just love his books. It was about the Secret Service during the Civil War and how that started. It was stating how the families would pack a picnic lunch in the carriages and ride out over the hilltops overlooking Antietam or Bull Run or something like that. I though oh my golly, it's the same thing like turning on CNN. It hasn't changed; it's just a different medium.
One thing that's different that strikes me is that while there may have been use of some Blue Stars during the Persian Gulf War. It was a surprise to some people to know that this program still exists. Some people knew it was around during the Vietnam War, but most people remember it from WWII when it was more ubiquitous. There's this resurgence now. Does it have something to do with the way we still feel about the way treated our soldiers coming back from Vietnam?
Ruth Wade: It may be. I think maybe it could be because of the Reservists. The Reservists are fellas that are a little older. They're a little older than the young recruits that are going in. They're a little more seasoned. Maybe to there are so many, we're living longer now, and we have so many grandmas and grandpas that are my age now that remember WWII and you think geez, I wish there was something we could do and you remember back.
I know a couple of the woman who have called in have referred back to the movie "Saving Private Ryan" where the Star was in the window. That is in people's mind and they question what was that hanging in the window and then grandma would say oh that's the Blue Star program. So I think that's a lot of it. A lot of the requests that we're getting are from grandparents and they're calling in and saying I want one for myself, can I have one also, or does it only go to my daughter and son-in-law because it's their son or daughter who's over there.
But whatever the reason is, I'm glad. Even though we're out of our Blue Stars anybody who calls in we give them that website, www.bluestarmothers.org. They can get on that website and there is a printable version on that website and we were on there last Friday and they have 3 different versions with 1, 2 and 3 stars which is great. So even after we ran out, they can still get them.
I understood that the American Legion Post here has an order placed.
Ruth Wade: They have some. They were doing something. They were looking into doing a couple of different things and I think one of them was going to be almost a decal sort of thing. Then if you wanted to put it in you car window you could because we're such a mobile country now, where people back in the 40's weren't. Back then not everybody had a car, let alone 2 or 3. I thought that was probably a good idea too. I liked that idea. I don't know whether the Blue Star mothers have anything like that, I really didn't have the time to get into the website to see what else they offered other than just the banners.
But most of the requests that are coming in, they want the ones they can put in the window. I talked to one lady and she said I want that for my window and you'll know my house when you go by because I've got my flags out, I've got my yellow ribbons tied on the banister, and she said now I want, she had 2 in the military, my Blue Stars to hang. So, now she has them. I told her if I drive by on my way home I'll toot. Another thing too, it gives you a chance to talk to these people and meet these people, which I think is great. You find out a little bit more about what they're doing and what we're doing at the Red Cross. A chance to kind of relate to each other and find out what do you need, what are your questions and what can we do to help. Any time you can do that it's good too. It gives you one more thing that you can relate to.
I bet you've heard some interesting stories.
Ruth Wade: Yes, you do.
Are there families in this area that have more than 1 son or daughter in the services?
Ruth Wade: Yes, we've had families that had brothers and sisters in and then we have families to that have like a brother and sister here and a brother and sister over there. We've got 4 that are cousins and maybe you have an uncle, things like that. I think we had 1 family that had 6 people from different branches of the family and 2 different generations. They called in and asked and I think we sent out 6 to them by the time we got all the different mothers and fathers together. It seems to happen a lot that the younger want to follow what the older ones do. That seems to be true an awful lot in the military families. That's a good thing too. When you look at a person who's been in the military and had that military training, there's just a certain way the walk, a certain way they carry themselves. When these young fellas come in we don't have to much to do with them but occasionally they'll stop in. They're so polite and it's "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am", it's just that military training. I think it's good for them. The war part of it isn't, but I think military training is a good thing.
I wonder how many homes have old Blue Star banners folded away from various military campaigns? When the campaigns ends do you take the banner down or do you throw it away?
Ruth Wade: You don't throw that away. I would imagine, this is just my personal opinion, probably 75% of them would keep them. That would just be something that you fold away. If you had a person in the military that passed away and they fold that flag, you keep that flag. I have my dad's and he's been gone over 50 years. I still have that folded flag from a grateful nation. It's the same thing with that Blue Star, there's probably a lot of people who get up the attics and look around and they think gee whiz, what was this and there it is packed away. I know when we go out, like to the Pearl Harbor Day Memorials, the fellas when they come if they can still get in to that uniform that they wore back in the 40's, they are so proud. There was a lady and maybe she'll hear this, but she came, she had on her WAC uniform and did she ever look spiffy. She was so proud she could still wear that uniform. I thought that's great. There are things like that you don't normally see, you see the little cartoons and sitcoms when the guy gets the uniform out and he's trying to get it buttoned, it's to bad that they didn't have some kind of Velcro at that time. It's just something that you're always proud of and that Blue Star is something that these ladies are always proud of. So, no, they don't throw them away.
Do you have any Blue Stars in your family?
Ruth Wade: No, no I don't, because I wasn't born until after my dad got out of the World War I. So now whether his mom had one from WWI or not I don't know. I didn't have any brothers that served in WWII and I had a son that was in the Army, but he was peace time Army. And my ex-husband was in the Navy, but there again it was the peace time Navy. So we didn't have them. Like you say, you did not see them during, I don't remember seeing them during Korea and Vietnam like you did during WWII. Maybe that's our fault, maybe we weren't looking for them.

player feeding.
Kitsune General- him and a friend of his were doing 3's and started in champ select saying they were gonna feed. when match began i figured they were trolling so i didn't care to much. we took first blood and then they started to make the game a loss. i played defensive and they kept diving and giving the opposing team kills... by the end we had like 8 kills they had almost 20 if not more
you just have to report them after the game, no need to post it here
already have just letting other players know =)
Calling out a player on the forums like that is against forum rules.
Ya careful how you say certain things, even if it's bottled up inside you, just filled with anger.
Go smack a chicken instead of raging on forums

Pros-Great Perks

-Flat Structure
-Skilled Fantastic People Working There
-Tony the CEO is a very Cool Guy!
It was fantastic to work at Couchsurfing. However, my whole team got laid off due to change of focus. Couchsurfing in itself is a very cool concept that I believe is making a significant change in this world!Cons-Lack of Direction
-Recent Change from the Original Founders to a new CEO created Massive Layoffs and I think they lost trust and momentum.
-Uncertain Future
-Reliant on Investors to operate at current capacity
-Lost the passion that shined from the Original Crew
The new management was not honest with the employees. And it seemed that the managements solution to problems was always to hire or fire, rather than effectively directing and managing the current staff. In my short time there, I saw people come and go on a weekly basis.
They also favored a particular culture or skill sets rather than embracing different types of employees, which the original Couchsurfing was all about.Advice to ManagementAdviceGood luck! You need it...

I have been working at CouchSurfing full-time (less than a year)
ProsYou already know this if you've read the reviews, but it can't be said enough — the food is fabulous, the office is beautiful and sunny, and our office is full of thoughtful, intelligent and talented people.
You get to contribute to a product that changes people's lives and makes the world a better place, and I say this as a hardened cynic.
Management is receptive and accessible, and while there are layers of bureaucracy, they're thin.
The paid time off policy is pretty rad (although it isn't actually "unlimited")ConsCouchsurfing isn't run by hippies anymore. It's run by people whose primary experience has been in more traditionally commercial arenas, and it shows.
Couchsurfing has worked in the past because of a community of people who stepped in to fill gaps left by the technology, which were (and continue to be) enormous. The upside of this is a global community that is extremely engaged and passionate about Couchsurfing. The downside of this is difficulty to scale, constant internecine warfare, and a system that *kind of* worked, but only for a certain type of person.
The new management doesn't believe the community should be the main force that keeps the site running, and they are intent on replacing lots of functions that used to be served by the community with technology. I personally think this is a bad idea, but management is honest about it, and I am willing to be party to this experiment to see if it works.
Also, from a technical perspective, you're swimming upstream against massive amounts of technical debt the day you start, and while there is lots of institutional support for fixing it, things move so fast that it's hard to get a foothold against it.Advice to ManagementAdviceDon't talk trash about people that are critical of the company's new direction within earshot of all the employees. Also, don't talk trash about "anarchists" and "the occupy movement" as if you can safely assume all of your employees have the same opinion about those things. Assume there is political diversity in your workplace and act accordingly.

- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at CouchSurfing full-time (more than a year)
Pros- Every day that I step through the front doors of the office, I feel relaxed. I can genuinely say that I *enjoy* working here.
- The people that I work with are talented, interesting, and fun. No exceptions.
- The food is high quality.
- We are working on a product that is creating genuine, real-life connections between strangers. That's core to Couchsurfing's mission. Despite the drastic changes that I've witnessed in the past few years at this company, I haven't seen our focus on that mission waver.
- Couchsurfing's users are awesome. The majority of them are appreciative, involved, and caring. I feel so lucky to be working on a product that my friends love and use every day.
- Management has successfully rejuvenated a company that was stagnating a few years ago. While the firings that have happened here since I arrived make me sad, it's clear that CS is doing very well with the new direction it has taken.
- As an engineer, I have lots of opportunities to learn and grow at Couchsurfing. I have the opportunity to work on interesting, unique, and challenging projects with extremely talented colleagues.
- My coworkers are very knowledgable and the managers are excellent mentors.
Many of the reviews I've read on this page are very unbalanced -- either they're raving about how CS has changed their lives completely and how this is the best place in the world, or they're complaining about how completely screwed everyone is and that management is Evil.
I think it's best to step back, take a deep breath, and think about things from a logical place instead of an emotional one. Couchsurfing isn't a work-utopia where everything's perfect. No company is like that. Layoffs will happen from time to time, and they're not ever going to be fun.
As an engineer, I haven't experienced the "culture of fear" that other reviewers allude to. It might have something to do with the economy in Silicon Valley right now -- there are many many choices out there for engineers. Getting fired isn't a massive setback, and it's difficult to find and retain good engineers. We get treated well. My non-engineering colleagues, however, also seem happy and satisfied with their jobs.Cons- Couchsurfing is undergoing a painful transition from not-for-profit to silicon-valley startup. In my time here, there have been three rounds of layoffs. They weren't fun. People that I have a lot of respect for got fired. (Thankfully, I still get to see them often, and in most cases, they have moved on to other interesting things. They are all still leading happy lives.)
- Some members of the Couchsurfing community (the people that we make the website for!) are very loud and grumpy about the changes we make. This is inevitable when you have an engaged community, but sometimes it's difficult to watch a feature you've worked on get torn apart by angry users.
- Like one of the other reviewers mentioned, I'm not a big fan of the fact that we recently removed the community postcards from the walls. Also, I liked the "live your dream, share your passion" poster. It'd be nice if we put those back. (To be fair, though, we replaced both with pictures of our community at Couchsurfing events. So we still get to see people in our community doing awesome things, which I find somewhat inspiring.)
- Occasionally I feel that there is a communication barrier between management and employees. It goes both ways: When someone gets fired, the rest of the company doesn't get much warning and I feel blindsided. In the other direction, sometimes people get upset or confused about things and gossip about it with each other instead of bringing it up to management. I want to be careful to say that this is not the norm, just something that I've seen happen from time to time.Advice to ManagementAdviceYou have a very difficult job, and I think you're doing it well. Please be careful to not surprise employees with big changes. And please encourage us to tell you ASAP if we aren't satisfied with something.

Plagued by concerns regarding the company's now-grounded Dreamliner 787 planes, options traders are waxing pessimistic ahead of tomorrow's earnings release from The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA - 73.50). In fact, speculators on the major options exchanges have been picking up BA puts over calls at a rapid-fire rate of late.
On the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), the security's 10-day put/call volume ratio of 0.61 registers in the 72nd percentile of its annual range. Or, in simpler terms, option buyers have initiated bearish bets over bullish at a faster-than-usual clip during the past couple of weeks.
In the front-month series, option traders have honed in on the February 70 put, which has seen open interest climb by more than 10,000 contracts during the past 10 sessions. This out-of-the-money strike now harbors peak put open interest of more than 14,700 contracts outstanding.
In today's session, speculators are playing it safer with the February 72.50 put, which has seen close to 1,800 contracts traded thus far. The majority of the puts have crossed at the ask price, and implied volatility is trending higher, hinting at buy-to-open activity.
By purchasing the puts at a volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of $1.26, the buyers will profit if BA breaches the $71.24 level (strike minus VWAP) by the closing bell on Friday, Feb. 15. However, even if Boeing reports stronger-than-expected earnings and enjoys a subsequent bounce, the most the buyers can lose is the initial premium paid for the puts.
That's not to say the stock's front-month puts are cheap, though. In fact, the equity's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) has ascended heading into tomorrow's earnings release, and now stands at 25% -- higher than 59% of all other readings of the past year. In other words, front-month options players are paying a relatively pricey premium to roll the dice.
At last check, BA has given up 0.7% to hang out in the $73.50 region. The shares have surrendered almost 6% since touching a new annual high of $78.02 at the start of the year, and have underperformed the broader S&P 500 Index (SPX) by almost 8 percentage points during the past month.
Off the charts, the blue chip has topped analysts' per-share profit projections in each of the past four quarters, according to Thomson Reuters.

Christmas Eve
This year the Christmas prep was a bit (as in, a lot) last minute for me. But thanks to Felt Foxes (garland), the husbo (tree) and Graham & Brown (the wallpaper used for the gift wrapping and taped in a strip on the wall to hold xmas cards within its gilded frames) - I got there in the end. Oh and I used a Kikki K stamp set to add names to gifts which hopefully saves the-gift tag-fell-of-confusion on the day.

Merino Baby Giveaway
When Merino Baby invited me to try some of their gorgeous products I couldn't wait to pop them on Piper. I like the classic colours and the fact that the wool is so fine and soft on her skin and you can just throw them in the wash and they come out good as new.
The lovely thing about wool is that its warm in winter and cool in summer and because the fabric is breathable the bubs won't overheat in her sleep suit at night or when she's running around at kindy during the day.
14 month old Piper road tested the navy dress and short sleeves bodysuit in grey/navy (both in 18-24 months), both of which she models above (bless her little heart) and the single layer sleeping bag in grey (12-24 months). It's hard to pick a favourite but I think it's the body suit because its so soft and not too tight so still looks good tucked into shorts. I've also had trouble finding a sleep suit in a size long enough for her (Piper hates sleeping under covers) so I was excited this one came our way.
These would make a beautiful gift for overseas friends are they are made from 100% Australian wool and they have a subtle little embroidered kangaroo on every item.
Now for the GIVEAWAY part:
Visit merinobabyclothing.com.au & facebook.com/merinobabyclothing to discover baby clothes made with only the finest 100% Australian merino wool. Fully machine washable for easy care. Perfect for layering or as undergarments. Garments designed with love in Australia for your little one. For your chance to win a hat and mitten set worth $29.95 (size 0-24 months, colours may vary) please leave a comment why you love Merino Baby. Good luck! Winner announced Monday 10 November, please leave your email address at the end of your comment so I can get in touch if you win!.

This issue was 'for the boys' so this was my gentle hint at a teepee/Indian theme, featuring feather cupcake & gift toppers, Love Mae wall wolf wall decal which I have loved since forever and a bow and arrow cake. My colors were pale green and grey. Boyish but still gentle and pretty.

Piper's 1st Birthday Party
I was remarkably relaxed about Piper's birthday. Perhaps because she's too young to give feedback. I think limiting it to family only helped a lot as BYO coffees and a plate of muffins would kept everyone happy, so the pressure was off. I had wanted to make her a flower crown and dress her in a little not-too-pretty romper. I wanted to make a dream catcher with scraps of white lace and orchids. I wanted edible flowers in the salad and atop cup cakes. I wanted to finish renovating the exterior of the house and blah blah blah, the list goes on. But in the end, we can only do what we can do.
I work long hours and as it all-too-often happens, time caught up to me and energy was lost to me, so I had to pare back my plans. Thanks to a beautiful friend (heartfelt thanks must go to Elizabeth for the beautiful cake bunting and party hat); a party dress purchased on line (and on-sale); a Saturday morning at the markets; an afternoon of baking; and an evening of printing and snipping - a beautiful sunny day was created for our beautiful girl.
Once I decided on the adorable Kelli Murray invitations (delivered by hand or left on doorsteps and tied with fine gold thread and sweetpeas), I had the basis of my colours (creamy/muted pretty) and cuteness. That little owl's face, I just loved. So she was cut out and pasted on straws and sat in little quilted preserving jars awaiting ginger cordial. The tee pee straws were made for sipping sparkling water from mini bottles. A dispenser for cordial and pretty paper cups and plates for the kids followed. Making only a large salad I delegated the food duties, buying quiches and taking up Piper's nan on her offer to make sandwiches.
Mr took the bubs for a walk the day before so I could bake a blood orange cake (that's how I got the pink coloured icing - I was after white but embraced my mistake) and a choc-vanilla layer cake (this one was from packets) topped with fresh flowers with the left over batter made a little teepee cake for Piper's 'smash-cake'.
As I don't have drawer fulls of plates and cutlery, napkins (Fine Little Day from Lark) were used for quiche and cake and vintage saucers and cake forks for salad. Paper cups (left over from our wedding & labelled thanks to a sheet of sticker paper from my mum's office) served us well for tea and coffee.
I thought our babe would be too young to understand, but she soaked it all in and knew it was her special day. There was a little bit of magic in the air.

I was so excited about Mother's Day. It felt like Christmas used to feel when like when I was little. I bought myself a mug 'from' Piper. I can't wait for her little handmade Mother's Day stall purchases in year to come. On Sunday, Mr bought me a large coffee and a gorgeous bunch of blooms. I made a mini layer cake with berries from the bunch.

UH Football Picked To Finish Last

(Honolulu, HI) -- The University of Hawaii football team apparently has its work cut out for it this fall. The Rainbow Warriors have been picked to finish dead last amid the six teams in the Mountain West Conference's West division. The preseason media poll picked Fresno State to win the division. The Rainbow Warriors have nowhere to go but up, after going 1-and-11 last year in Norm Chow's second season as head coach.

Autumn soup no. 2: Creamy white bean and bacon soup
Added on September 27th, 2014
Found in Pulses, Pulses recipes, Recipes, Starter - recipes, Tinned food, Wholefood - recipes, Wholefoods
It can sometimes be hard to find a bean 'n bacon soup that isn't tomatoe-y. This one allows the wonderfully creamy flavour of the beans to shine through. It's just the thing for a dreary, misty, autumnal day.
340g smoked bacon, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 knob butter
1 onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks of celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
400g tin white beans (or equivalent dried and cooked)
1 ltr chicken stock
Salt, pepper and dried thyme to taste
Parsley and lemon juice to garnish

HOMEWARD BOUND 207 waved them a last farewell, amid cries of " Don't stay long!" " Come back soon!" The next morning we sailed from Quccnstown to see home again after an absence of two years.thick were these most lovely wild flowers, while the air was alive with the song of the nightingale. We did not meet frequently, but always greeted each other as friends. She used to say that our work had made us such. Her sudden death was a shock and grief to all who had come into her gentle presence. She had been to the theatre but a week or two before she died, and the last thing she ever wrote for publication was her article on the play she then saw—our production of " The Winter's Tale " in London.

"accurate and sensitive novel set in Tuscany"
This was another excellent read of a Belinda Alexandra novel and kept me absorbed throughout the entire story. It was well researched and depicted this era of Catholicism in Italy with great accuracy. Rosa's lack of knowledge about sexuality would have been very common for a child brought up in a convent as an orphan at that time. This story is inspirational portraying Rosa as a young woman who developed the strength and endurance to face extreme hardships and injustice which were prevalent pre WW2 and during the war for working class impoverished young women. Rosa suffered the harsh prejudices of being a single mother that was typical of those times when in fact she was a rape victim but desperate to love and care for her baby. Interestingly Alexandra weaves in a similar vegetarian theme to the one in her Silver Wattle novel. Highly recommended.

Flames Destroy Waushara Court House Loss of building at Wautoma put at near $75,000 Wild Rose and Red Granite fire trucks prevent damage from flying firebrands; chimney dynamited. (special to the Tribune) Wautoma, April 30 Flames, supposed to have originated in the basement when the furnace door blew open, between 5 and 6 o'clock this morning completely destroyed the Waushara County Courthouse in this city with a loss estimated at from $60,000 to $75,000. Though fire departments from Wild Rose and Red Granite responded to calls for help, they were unable to do anything further than to stand by and help extinguish roof fires starting on buildings nearby, ignited by sparks from the burning structure. An extremely high wind scattered firebrands over a large area and only sufficient fire fighting equipment kept the loss confined to the court house. Dynamite Chimney As the roof of the building collapsed, grave concern was felt over the tall brick chimney which swayed dangerously in the high wind. Citizens at once decided on the use of dynamite and the chimney was brought down with a crash. The brick walls of the court house collapsed shortly after. Started Fire at Five O'Clock John Hahn, janitor at the court house, started the fire in the furnace shortly after 5 o'clock as is his usual custom. He then went home to breakfast. Smoke bursting from the building was noticed at 5:45 by Wilbur Johnson, foreman at the county machine shop. He spread the alarm but the flames had gained such great headway that no time was left to carry much from the various county offices. District Attorney G. Jones rushed into his office and carried out a letter file and a typewriter. Nothing else was saved. The Wautoma fire department, a Ford truck with pumper attachment, forced water from White River, two blocks distant, through two hose lines. The rest of the equipment was needed to combat small roof fires. All records of the county were in the various vaults and late this afternoon they were found still too hot to open. It is believed however that the records are safe, as the vaults were fire proof. The regular meeting of the Waushara county board was scheduled for tomorrow morning in the court house chambers. The meeting will be held in other quarters and it is expected that steps will be taken at once toward providing a new county building to replace the one destroyed. Insurance totaling about $30,000 was carried, it is said. The Waushara county court house was built in 1888 at an approximate cost of $10,000. Later additions and improvements to the extent of $45,000 were added. Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune, Wisconsin Rapids, WI 30 Apr 1928

About Steam
Relax. Rejuvinate. Reward Yourself.
People on perpetual overload—that would be most of us-- are now rediscovering what ancient cultures understood thousands of years ago about the healing power of steam to naturally soothe the body and calm the mind.
Steam showers are a delicious and sensual immersion into the elemental forces of life: water and warmth. Whether you enjoy one at home or in a health club, resort or hotel spa, a steam shower is an easy way to help make wellness a way of life.
Steam shower benefits range from relaxation to rejuvenation. Ladies, remember steaming your face as a beauty treatment? Guys and gals, did your mom ever use a vaporizer to ease a cold?
Today, after as little as 10 minutes in a steam shower, you can emerge feeling restored and looking refreshed. Aromatherapy and chromatherapy boost the holistic health benefits of steam even more.
Steam is kind to the environment as well. Our most popular Mr. Steam model, for example, uses a mere two gallons of water for 20 minutes of relaxation, compared to a whopping 75 gallons for a tub.
And steam costs just pennies per session to operate. Clearly a guilt-free amenity you can use every day.
Adding a home steam shower is fairly simple, and doesn't necessarily require a lot of space or a big budget. Even a 3'x4' or 3'x5' enclosure will work.
So whether you are building a new home, remodeling a bathroom, or simply looking to retrofit steam into an existing shower, Mr. Steam and its expert authorized showrooms can help you create your dream home steam room.

everytime espn shows a tournament martina plays, she loses. I can't remember the last time espn showed martina winning a tournament. Last 3 years aussie open, last 3 years indian wells, advanta championships a couple of year ago, acura classic a couple of years ago. Gosh, its like a jinx or something. Its been like 2-3 years since martina last won a tournament that espn has shown the finals of. Hmm, when was that last tournament? Could it be espn?

Iced Tea Flavored Beer From Coors
Do you love iced tea but hate the fact that it's non-alcoholic? Do you love beer, but hate the fact that it doesn't taste enough like iced tea? Well, Coors has some information for you!

After we tried making a Hot Pocket in a conventional oven instead of the microwave, we want to know what flavor of Hot Pocket do you usually grab when you're at the store?
I do so much more than simply 'eat' a Hot Pocket. I am a Hot Pocket connoisseur. Quck and simple, just two minutes in the microwave and you're good to go. For years I've noticed they have conventional oven directions that require baking your Hot Pocket for 28 minutes. I never bothered with these instruction - until now.
Kids eating chalk were quite common back in our school days, and we often used to even laugh at them. We're not sure we want to laugh at 21-year-old Kerry Trebilcock, though. The young dental nurse from England suffers from pica – a real disorder characterized by an appetite for substances that aren't considered food. Trebilcock's preferred choice of non-food? Soapy sponges.
Wine is generally viewed as a beverage for guys over the age of fifty who enjoy vacations in Napa or guys too wussy to drink beer.

Over the weekend I was driving down Nob Hill with food on my mind (as it usually is). Seeing that 'Sloppy Slaw Burgers and Ribs' on 33rd and Nob Hill is now open I thought I'd check them out. Although the burgers looked good, the items that intrigued me was their 'Slider' made with a sliced doughnut instead of a tradition bun. There was no way I was leaving without trying this.
They say kids learn by example, and now we have further proof — little ones who've watched their moms and dads order coffee are now able to do the same thing with a new concoction called a "babyccino." And baristas are none too happy about it.
I saw on Jack In The Box's Facebook page a quick ad for the 'Bacon Shake' and to ask for it at your local Jack In The Box. A quick phone call to the location on 40th and Tieton confirms it to be true. It's on!
Would you rock this bad boy? For the past few years I've seen different variations of making this style of Super Bowl snack tray but I'd say this one takes the cake - or the sandwich, in this case.
The other day I was looking for something to snack on. I had bacon, I had jerky but not once did I ever think to put the two together.
The good news is that it's never too late to begin your beer can collection. The even better news is that January 24 is Beer Can Appreciation Day, so there's no excuse not to get going on that collection.
Many useful machines have been invented, and, one would think that a time machine would be the best machine a person could invent. How very wrong. Clearly, the best machine ever invented is this all-in-one breakfast machine. Say good-bye to Jimmy Dean and drive-thrus and hello to breakfast bliss.

Decision Central

The perception of Vista doesn't match the reality of Mojave
Microsoft demoed a new operating system called Mojave to Vista haters. They loved it. Surprise! It was Vista the whole time. How much does the perception of a product drive the reality of the marketplace?
Destroying the planet one iPhone at a time
Your shiny new iPhone is killing the planet... and that new laptop too... and your server... along with every other piece of electronics you own. Here's a look at the environmental impact of how electronics are made and what to do about it.
Boil a frog to get things done
You can't cook a frog by tossing it in a pot of boiling water. It will jump right out. The same thing happens if you try to push major change in an organization. Make your decisions stick the same way you boil a frog - turn up the heat slowly.
Deciphering the term "SOA"
SOA stands for Service Oriented Architecture. It's one of those acronyms you see bandied about all over the place. But what does it really mean? Here's my best guess and some SOA resources.
Is $38,000 too much to pay for an iPhone?
When Apple shipped the new iPhone, it lowered the price. But what does an iPhone really cost? How about $38,000? Or would you believe over $200,000? Deciding the true costs of the iPhone.
Are you "The Decider"?
Just because you're an IT *leader*, it doesn't mean you necessarily get to make the ultimate decision. Take our poll and see where you compare with other TechRepublic members in your powers of decision enforcement.
Influence decisions with help from Johnny Carson
When recommending a strategy, product, or new technology for your organization, the direct approach might not always be the best way. If you properly frame the argument before you make it, getting people to do what you want is a whole lot easier.
Does used equipment make sense -- even in this economy?
One constant we face in IT is ever tightening budgets. One way to ease the financial pain is by purchasing used or refurbished equipment rather than new. Is it a good option or not? Read on and take the poll.
Can you really declare independence from Microsoft?
Microsoft is kind of like the weather. Everybody complains about their software, but nobody does anything about. Can you *really* declare independence if you wanted to? I'm not so sure. Here's why.
Firefox 3.0 memory improvements -- Fact or Fiction?
Firefox 3.0 is supposed to be less resource hungry than Firefox 2.0. Sadly it's not. I ran a test that showed that Firefox 3.0 uses more memory and releases less of it when it's done.
Will Firefox 3.0 rekindle the browser wars?
Firefox 3.0 has finally launched. Will it relaunch the browser wars of the 90's? Take our poll and see what other TechRepublic members think.
SaaS - Software revolution or a warmed-over buzzword?
Lately, one of the acronyms you see bandied about lately is SaaS - Software as a Service. With all the buzz about it, it may sound like a cool new revolutionary concept. Actually, it's been around since the dot-com boom days. Finally however, technology may have caught up with the original concept. What does it mean for IT leaders?
Deciphering the term "Fixed Mobile Convergence"
Does the term Fixed Mobile Convergence really mean anything or is it just one of those marketing terms? It's a little bit of both. What a vendor means by it depends on what they have for sale. But you can still use the concept to your benefit.
Tobak gets it wrong - You're not a bunch of sheep
CNET's Steven Tobak says that the media isn't biased. Instead, we just feed you content we know you'll click on, and any media bias is your fault. There's something severely wrong with this argument.
Problems with XP SP3 highlight the need to beware of updates
Microsoft finally shipped SP3 for Windows XP, but even with the final release not everything works right. The last thing you want is for users to blindly install Service Packs or other updates without testing them in advance. Here's what you do about it.
Synergy: Buzzword or code word?
In a previous post I asked TR members to list some of the most hated buzzwords they've encountered. The word Synergy came up quite often. However, is the word more of a buzzword or a codeword? I think it's more of the latter.
Building Enterprise 2.0 with Web 2.0 technologies
The buzzword Web 2.0 is kicked around quite a bit, but there's actually a little bit of something to it. This video from ZDNet shows how you can use Web 2.0 technologies to enhance information flow in your organization.
What do you look for in a laptop? And who's the best?
When you choose a laptop for yourself or your organization, what's the key factor you look for? And what's your favorite vendor? Take the both the polls here and make your voice known.
Give a presentation like Steve Jobs
Being an IT leader is more than just making a plan. You need to sell others on your ideas. Here's a video from TR's sister site BNET that takes apart Steve Jobs' presentation style and shows you how to use it to your advantage.
Lenovo responds to TR's ThinkPad discussion
I posted an article in Classics Rock questioning whether ThinkPad quality had declined since Lenovo took over. Suspicious activity occurred in the discussion that lead to me declaring Shenanigans on Lenovo. Finally, someone officially from Lenovo turned up in the forum.
Deciding the proper user/IT support ratio
When figuring out staffing in your IT department, one of the hardest thing to do is to figure out exactly how much support staff you need based on the number of users you have. Here's a video from ZDNet that recommends a 60:1 ratio and why.
The eternal IT debate: Build or buy?
The classic conundrum is IT has always been between building the solution yourself or buying it from someone else. Let's look at some of the common build vs. buy scenarios and see how to make the best decision between them.
Are netbooks a growing trend or a passing fad?
Small form-factor laptops have popped up from nearly nowhere. Some people call the netbook the wave of the future. Others dismiss them as toys. Which is it?
Why do rational people make irrational decisions?
Otherwise bright people sometimes do the dumbest things. In this video from TR sister site BNET, author Ori Brafman discusses some of the reasons why in stories from his book Sway.
Should users be allowed to supply their own computers?
In an attempt to show the power of virtualization, Citrix has implemented a policy to allow users to purchase any computer they want. Is a BYOC policy a good idea or a bad idea?
What has the economic meltdown done to your IT projects?
One of the, if not the primary, factor to take into consideration when rolling out a new IT project is ensuring there's an available budget for it. With the economy in a near meltdown, budgets are disappearing as fast as Wall Street investment banks. Has it affected you yet?
From Web 2.0 to DotBomb 2.0?
The dawn of the 21st century saw a lot of Internet companies crash and burn in the first DotBomb era. With the recent economic problems, Rafe Needleman from Webware talks to CNETTV about the possibility of Web 2.0 companies following them into oblivion.
If you sit out Vista, what are your alternatives?
Steve Ballmer has finally come out and said that it's ok with him if you sit out Vista and stick with XP until Windows 7 ships. But will you wait? And when 7 ships, will you sit out that as well?
Is price no object to the typical Apple customer?
Apple recently freshened the Mac line, including souped up CPUs and new graphics from nVidia. What didn't change however was the Mac price point. Although there's now a (barely) sub-$1000 Mac, most Macs are higher priced compared to many Windows machines. Is price less of a factor to a Mac customer?
Make better decisions with less information
Is it possible to have too much information to make a decision? The obvious answer is yes, but what's key is how you define what 'too much' information is. By minimizing the amount of information about a situation, you can come up with a better decision making result.

Is Uzbekistan not sending a 74kg wrestler? Soslan Tigiev was first at the world cup last year at 74kg.
This link says that UZB is sending 2 wrestlers at 74 kg: Artem Pristajnyuk & Soslan Tigiev.
It also has Abas at 55kg for the USA and more listed wrestlers for the Ukraine.
Is Anyone Going To Have Video Of The Whole Thing?
im dissapointed to see that ramazan shain is not in the line up, but im prety pumped about the US team, especially esposito, askren, lawal at 66, 74 and 84
One of the matches I am really looking forward to is Andrey Stadnik and Geandry Garzon, I don't know if you guys have ever watched stadnik but when he puts the pressure on, he almost scores at will, but he seems like a head case
World Cup will begin in the early am tomorrow. I am psyched! This is as close as we are going to get to an Olympic preview.

Current Time
Tel: 34 91 417 6415
Concierge.com's insider take:
This nouvelle Japanese restaurant in a residential neighborhood has made chef Ricardo Sanz into one of Madrid's newest culinary darlings. Kabuki's interior is understated, with all the bustle of a Tokyo sushi bar, while outdoor tables exude effortless class, like a sidewalk version of a Great Gatsby lawn party. Both spaces are lorded over by a suave waitstaff that's intimately familiar with Sanz's tricked-out Ibero-sashimi. Lemonfish might meet with papa arrugá (Canarian potato) and mojo verde, or urta (a rockfish from the Cõdiz bay) with adobo. In the showstopping usuzukuri trufa, a minuscule scoop of black-truffle pâté brings each ethereal pat of pez mantequilla (butterfish) back into the earth's orbit. Although Sanz can sometimes get too truffle-happy, he wisely lets toro sashimi go solo, letting the fish shine with pale, oily simplicity. Few tourists show up at Kabuki, and the casually glam regulars would probably be happy to keep it that way—reservations are hard enough to book as it is, even on weeknights. But you're well-advised to crash this party.
