Celebrity Style: Mischa Barton
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
Mischa Barton is ready for summer! As the temperature keeps rising in LA, I can't wait to see what our favorite celebs will be wearing. Can you tell I'm ready for summer too? I happen to be a big fan of wedges and I adore these fab YSL shoes; they might not be all that practical for dog walking, but what the hell! Her boho outfit is a little missmatched, but with that face and body, I think she can pull it off.

phatE- that is my point. The hat is not for warmth. It is ridiculously hot here (in the 90's) and a hat is nuts right now.

Large Cap Fundamental Value
Period ended December 31, 2014
The S&P 500 Index returned +13.7% in 2014, its sixth consecutive positive year—the longest such streak since the mid to late 1990s. Unlike the extended bull market of the 1990s, which was driven by irrational growth expectations and swelling price-to-earnings multiples, the stock market's rise over the past six years has been powered by broad corporate earnings growth. Moreover, household debt has been reduced by about 25% and corporate debt has been more than halved—an unprecedented deleveraging cycle that has de-risked the market considerably. Stock prices are up, earnings are higher, balance sheets are stronger, interest rates are lower, and inflation remains subdued. The U.S. economy has demonstrated clear progress though growth in Europe, Asia, and emerging markets has somewhat disappointed. Taking into account the confluence of these factors, we find the broad equity market reasonably valued for the risks at hand; it is neither especially compelling nor overextended. We have identified valuation opportunities selectively, as demonstrated by the portfolio's discount to the market, but we remain highly reluctant to assume undue risk. The portfolio trades at 11.1x our estimate of normal/sustainable earnings compared to the S&P 500 Index trading at 16.6x normal earnings and 17.2x next year's consensus earnings. We remain keenly focused not only on valuation support as a primary risk control, but also on strong balance sheets, sustainable cash flows, and prudent use of capital.
Crude oil prices tumbled 46% during 2014, precipitated by concerns about economic growth in developing economies (i.e. shrinking demand) without a corresponding slowdown in production from the world's major oil producers (i.e. excess supply). Commodity price changes should not affect total economic growth globally, but net importers benefit at the expense of net exporters when crude oil prices plummet. Accordingly, equities in the U.S., Western Europe, and developed Asia performed significantly better than equities in oil producing countries such as Russia and Brazil. Also, performance disparity was significant between sectors because the energy sector lagged by a sizable margin. During the year, S&P 500 Index energy stocks returned -8% as a group, making it the only sector with a negative return.
In December, the Bureau of Economic Analysis revised real U.S. GDP growth to a +5.0% annual rate for the quarter ended 9/30/14. This was on the heels of a +4.6% real growth rate in the previous quarter and marked the fastest pace in more than a decade. The primary driver was increased consumer spending, but business investment, exports, and government spending also increased. Also in 2014, the unemployment rate dipped below 6% for the first time in six years and consumer confidence hit a seven-year high.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. Dollar appreciated relative to other major global currencies. The Dollar was up 12% versus the Euro, 6% versus the Pound, and 14% versus the Yen. An improved economy, robust corporate earnings, and lower financial leverage provide a solid foundation for the equity market though stock prices have increased commensurately. Amenable conditions can persist for long periods, though we remain somewhat guarded. In the current environment, we have identified attractive valuation opportunities selectively while emphasizing appropriate risk controls, and are optimistic regarding the portfolio's resulting risk/return profile.
The Hotchkis & Wiley Large Cap Fundamental Value portfolio (gross and net of management fees) outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index in 2014. The portfolio's energy weight averaged about 5% less than the index throughout the year, which helped relative performance as energy was the worst-performing sector by a considerable margin. Conversely, the portfolio's technology weight averaged about 5% more than the index throughout the year, which also helped relative performance as technology was the best-performing sector over the year. Positive stock selection in industrials was also a performance contributor. The largest individual performance contributors in 2014 were Hewlett-Packard, Exelon, and Public Service Enterprise Group. Stock selection in financials, consumer staples, and telecommunications detracted from relative performance in the year. Within financials, Unum, Citigroup, and AIG were the largest individual detractors, though each had a positive return for the year. Within staples, Wal-Mart was the largest relative detractor despite a +12% return.
The portfolio's largest sector increase over the year was consumer discretionary, largely due to adding new positions in automobile companies General Motors and Honda. We also increased the portfolio's exposure to cable companies which exhibit an interesting risk/return opportunity. We reduced the weight in utilities, primarily by way of exiting the position in Exelon which had outperformed during the year. The portfolio's healthcare weight remained fairly constant over the year but the composition changed; we exited the position in Johnson & Johnson as it approached our valuation target and took a new position in GlaxoSmithKline, a pharmaceutical company trading at a discount to our estimated net present value of its existing drug platform.

The room was clean and beds weren't as hard as motel 6 but shower tile needed to be re-done. Careful when you stay because there was something happening at the convention center or something across the street and the manager utilizes parking lot to make more money by charging $10 for event parking and doesn't keep in mid to save spots for motel guests. We left for a little bit and came back to a full parking lot and no spaces left. That part was ridiculous. Parking should be left reserved for guests.

UPDATED: Brian Williams' "Rock Center" will air in its place beginning Oct. 31 following three weeks of "Prime Suspect" repeats.
Brian Williams' newsmagazine show, Rock Center, will take its place beginning Oct. 31. Until then, repeats of Maria Bello's Prime Suspect will air on Mondays at 10 p.m. The move to air Prime Suspect in Playboy Club's time slot is a clear sign of Bob Greenblatt's desire to make the series, which is closer to his cable sensibilities, work.

Playboy Club's cancellation comes after the drama premiered Sept. 20 to underwhelming ratings, attracting 5 million viewers and a 1.6 rating in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic. The second episode of the series from showrunner Chad Hodge and 20th Century Fox Television, tumbled 19 percent, luring only 3.8 million viewers and a 1.3 in the demo. Its most recent episode dropped even more, attracting 3.2 million viewers and a 1.2.

The series faced a backlash almost from the start, as the Parents Television Council called for a boycott and urged sponsors to pull out of the show that starred Amber Heard and Eddie Cibrian in a 1960s-set story about the Chicago Playboy Club and the bunnies and men who loved them.
Seven advertisers exited the series in the series' second week after PTC president deemed the show a "commercial disaster" and called for the network to cancel the "degrading and sexualizing program immediately."

The PTC targeted the show from early on for objectifying and degrading women since NBC ordered it to series in May.
Hodge downplayed the controversy after Gloria Steinem called for a boycott and NBC's Salt Lake City affiliate refused to air it.
"I think there's a perception of the show that's false," he said. "There are different brands of feminism and I don't think it should be boxed into any one version."
"I think there was a perception that we were trying to do something politically ambitious or make a statement or make this a show about empowering women, which sounds super boring to me. That sounds like a documentary, which this certainly is not. This is more like Chicago, Moulin Rouge and All That Jazz, Desperate Housewives. This is a fun, sexy soap," he added.
PHOTOS: 10 Shows Canceled Faster Than 'The Playboy Club'
Rock Center With Brian Williams will feature Harry Smith, Kate Snow and other correspondents and anchors at NBC News, including Meredith Vieira, Dr. Nancy Snyderman, Richard Engel, Matt Lauer and Ann Curry.
"Brian Williams already anchors America's most watched, honored and respected nightly news broadcast. Rock Center now gives him, and our all-star cast of journalists an opportunity to take viewers on a weekly journey of discovery," said Steve Capus, president of NBC News, and Greenblatt in a joint statement.
The series will be broadcast from studio 3B in Rockefeller Center and the weekly, hourlong newsmagazine will revolve around the week's events, interviews and coverage.

Stainless steel cleaner...
Hi y'all! I've tried several different SS cleaners, but find none of them to be great. They either leave streaks, a film, or like there's still something on them after I clean. When I use any cleaner, i'll use a clean cloth and buff, but still can see what look to be marks from *maybe* the plastic put on all new appliances was removed. Anyone have an answer and a good cleaner? I want nice shiny appliances! ;o)
Dirtex! :) You can find it on Amazon or at paint stores like Ben Moore and Porter Paints. They have it at Ace hardware but it costs more.....
Also Swiss Easy Cleaner by Kuhn Rikon is fantastic. ( I got mine online)
I use Dirtex for every day and then Kuhn Rikon for occasional polishing.
Thank you monaw. After I posted I scrolled down and saw the thread on cleaning a SS dishwasher, so read the complete thread and saw Dirtex mentioned(never heard of it!) Since it can be used on other surfaces as well, I will definitely be getting some. Thanks again. ;o)
Method makes a stainless steel cleaner. I've used it on my SS kitchen sink and it works just fine. I like every Method cleaner I've tried.
I used to use those spray cans of stainless steel cleaner on my fridge, only to be really frustrated to see a build up over time, then could never get the streaks out. With my new dishwasher, I took the advice of the salesperson. Water and microfiber cloths......works beautifully with NO STREAKS!
blairgirl, I've tried them all, and NOTHING works better that DIRTEX! :)
I've been using it for about 15 years. It's good for all kinds of stuff. I keep one in each bathroom and one under kitchen sink.
It's great for quick bathroom sink/mirror cleans used with a dry cloth...
Don't breath it if you can help it.
Monaw, I'm looking at my stainless fridge; I did one of the two doors. One side is absolutely clean, no streaks; the other, the usual s/s fingerprinted, smeared mess.
Yes, it WORKS.
So naturally I tried it on a few other things (the aerosol foams and it's incredibly easy to use.) This one thing is a little risky: my laptop monitor which never seems to be really clean, always smeary no matter what I do.
I put some dirtex on a Viva paper towel, and tried it on the screen. I'm now typing on a glass-clear laptop! It worked!
I like this stuff so much, I just bought a case of it.
Monaw, thank you!
You're welcome! Glad I could help!
I'm going to try it on my laptop too...I usually use alcohol and that doesn't work too well. Come to think of it, I think I did read on their Website or somewhere that it was good for cleaning computer screens. Don't know why I haven't tried that..
Where did you get yours? I usually pay about $4.00 a can at Porter paints. I think there's a discount for a case, ...I'll have to check.
Another fantastic cleaner that I buy by the gallon is Krud Kutter.
That stuff is amazing! It can take years of crap off stuff like magic!
Happy cleaning!
Hi, Monaw...
I ordered a dozen cans from Castle Wholesalers, along with a one-pound box of Dirtex to see how that works. The spray can price was $2.59, but with shipping, it worked out to about $4 a can.
That might seem like a lot, but the only place I know for sure locally carries Dirtex is Ace Hardware, and they charge $7 a can...! I'm already halfway through the one can I got (through amazon, which cost me $5 because I had a GC), so I can see a dozen cans isn't a really big splurge - not as long as I got all this stainless steel to clean!
Btw, did you notice the great job Dirtex does on mirrors?
I have a stainless steel counter, stove, dishwasher, ovens, and fridge and have found, if I'm going to use a cleaner, that no one cleaner works on all of them. The cleaner that came with the ovens works best on them, Weiman Stainless Cleaner works best on the fridge and Stainless Steel Magic works best on the stove. I have never tried Dirtex, but I'm going to buy some because of all the other uses it has.
That being said, I have had the very best success by not using any cleaner at all--just water and a microfiber cloth as laynie mentioned. It works beautifully once you get rid of all the previous cleaner that has been applied and it leaves no streaks whatsoever. My problem is that I have a cleaning lady who insists on spraying cleaner on the fridge. I'm just waiting for her to use it all up. I won't be replacing it. Maybe I should just hide it.
This is not specifically about stainless steel, but about streaks in general.
Don't use paper towels that are printed.
It took trying every glass cleaner on the market for me to figure this out. I guess this is why the old wives clean their windows with tissue paper or newsprint. I know the soy ink that most newspapers are printed with comes off on fingers and counter tops. I'd never use it to clean anything.
I was given a very large SS Simplehuman trashcan. I either use vinegar or lemon juice...cuts the crud but doesn't leave any residue that IMO would attract dust and more fingerprints. Perhaps Borax would work the same??

Richmond redshirt freshman center Luke Piotrowski decides to transfer
Jul 31, 2013, 7:27 PM EDT
After redshirting in 2011-12, Richmond center Luke Piotrowski hoped that there would be more opportunities to earn playing time in 2012-13. Unfortunately for Piotrowski that wasn't the case, as he played in just six games for the Spiders, posting averages of 0.3 points and 1.1 rebounds per game (3.6 minutes/game).
On Wednesday it was reported by Josh Verlin of City of Basketball Love that Piotrowski has decided to transfer, with his desire for more playing time being the primary factor.
Piotrowski played a total of 15 minutes in the Spiders' first two games of the season, blowout victories over Liberty and UNCW. But after those contests the Atlantic Christian (N.J.) High product played a total of ten minutes for the remainder of the season.
"I'm going to miss Richmond a lot, I really did love it there, I had a great relationship with Coach Mooney and the rest of the staff and I really am grateful for everything they've done for me for the past two years," he told CoBL by phone.
"I think it just kind of got to a point where I said to myself, 'I want to be the best player that I can be and I need to go to a place that allows me to be.' I met with coach [Chris] Mooney and we kind of decided that transferring might be the best option."
The Spiders welcome back four interior players who saw double-digit minutes in 2012-13, with Derrick Williams (11.4 ppg, 5.4 rpg) being the lone senior. Joining him on the floor will be a trio of sophomores: Alonzo Nelson-Ododa (3.9, 4.0, 1.8 bpg), Deion Taylor (3.6, 1.8) and Terry Allen (4.4, 3.4).
And waiting in the wings is T.J. Cline, who averaged 7.9 points and 4.6 rebounds per game as a freshman at Niagara last season before deciding to transfer in the aftermath of Joe Mihalich leaving to take the Hofstra job.
Cline, who will have to sit out this season per NCAA transfer rules, was named to the MAAC All-Rookie Team. With those options at Mooney's disposal, playing time was going to be tough to come by for Piotrowski.

Background: I use Spring 3.0.x in my Websphere 7 applications to grab the CommonJ WorkManager and TimerManager. I use these to do arbitrary tasks at certain intervals in my deployed applications.
I just learned that when setting a bean in the scheduler like so:
<bean id="threadTest" class="test.ThreadTester" />
<task:scheduled-tasks scheduler="myTimerExecutor">
<task:scheduled ref="threadTest" method="execute" fixed-delay="300000" />
In Websphere, it will run the
ThreadTester class directly in the TimerManager thread pool. This thread pool has a much higher priority (and fewer threads) than the WorkManager thread pool. I want the thread to run with the WorkManager instead to be at the proper priority and use the proper resources set up for threads.
As an alternative, instead of setting the bean in the scheduler like above, I can use the Spring
@Scheduled annotation in the
ThreadTester class like so:
@Scheduled(fixedDelay = 300000)
public void execute() {
Does using the
@Scheduled annotation make the scheduled class run in the TimerManager thread pool or the WorkManager thread pool?
If it runs using the WorkManager, then great! That solves my problem. However, if it is using the TimerManager to directly execute the class, then I guess I'll have to write some wrapper to correctly call the WorkManager.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: Here I include how I set up the scheduler and executor with the Websphere 7 commonj implementations:
<bean id="myTaskExecutor" class="org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.WorkManagerTaskExecutor">
<property name="workManagerName" value="wm/default" />
<property name="resourceRef" value="true"/>
<bean id="myTaskScheduler" class="org.springframework.scheduling.commonj.TimerManagerTaskScheduler">
<property name="timerManagerName" value="tm/default" />

What GAO Found
Air service to small communities has declined since 2007 due, in part, to higher fuel costs and declining population, and for some communities, compounded by more attractive service (i.e., larger airports in larger cities) within driving distance. In fact, airports of all sizes have lost capacity in the number of available seats, and largely for flights as well. However, medium-hub and small-hub airports have proportionally lost more service than large-hub or nonhub airports (see figure).
Percentage Change in Number of Flights and Seats, by Airport Category, 2007-2013
The two primary programs, designed to help small communities retain air service, administered by the Department of Transportation (DOT), face challenges.
The Essential Air Service (EAS) program, which received about $232 million in 2013, provided subsidies to airlines that served 117 eligible non-Alaskan communities in 2013. For the most part, only airports in eligible communities that received EAS-subsidized service have experienced an increased number of flights since 2007. However, the service may not always be the most cost-effective option for connecting people to the national transportation network, and the total and per-community EAS subsidies have grown since 2008. Legislation to control costs was recently enacted which limited access to EAS, for example by changing eligibility requirements.
The Small Community Air Service Development Program (SCASDP) is a grant program to help small communities enhance air service at small-hub or smaller airports. DOT can award no more than 40 grants a year, thus SCASDP assists fewer communities than does EAS. Further, unlike EAS, funding for SCASDP—$6 million in 2013—has decreased since the program was created in 2002. Past reviews of SCASDP's effectiveness have found mixed success, with about half or less of the grants achieving their goals.
Multimodal and community-based approaches can be used to help small communities connect to the nation's transportation network. Multimodal solutions, such as bus access to larger airports or air taxi service, could be more cost-effective than current programs. In addition, some communities have had success with attracting air service through methods such as financial incentives and marketing support.
Why GAO Did This Study
Establishing and retaining reliable air service to small communities has been a challenge for decades. Communities seek access to air transportation services as a driver for attracting investment and generating employment. To incentivize service, Congress established two programs to help support air service to small communities—EAS and SCASDP. Airports are categorized by DOT's Federal Aviation Administration and described in terms of "hub" size based on the number of passengers served annually. Airports range from large hubs with at least 7.3 million passengers in 2012 to nonprimary airports with fewer than 10,000 passengers. Airports receiving subsidized EAS service are either nonhub or nonprimary, and SCASDP airports are small hub or smaller.
This testimony discusses (1) the airline industry factors affecting air service to small communities, (2) the federal programs and policies that support air service to small communities, and (3) other options for improving access to air service for these communities. The testimony is based on previous GAO reports issued from 2003 through 2014; analysis of industry data for years 2007 through 2013; and selected updates on EAS and SCASDP programs. To conduct these updates, GAO reviewed program documentation and interviewed DOT officials and industry representatives.

Innovative search startup Lijit has done study of search widgets on pages around the web and says its widget is very close to becoming as popular as Google's own "site search". We think Lijit is quite interesting and we're not surprised to find out that many other bloggers around the web agree.

Buffett always says, if you believe in the potential of a stock, then stick with it and add regardless of pricing. He didn't get as ridiculously rich as he is by short horizon fickle trading. But thanks (to whoever) for the cheaper shares today.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
I am long this stock and may add as money is available, but if you think Buffett would touch this stock with a 10 foot pole, you are kidding yourself. Not his model at all. But your point about short term trades is well taken.
Yeah my point was the short term trades. Buffett doesn't play with biotech much. As an old man it isn't his model. In his youngest days, maybe, if he understood the potential of something like this.
Anyway, hats off to my fellow longs here. We've seen much worse and have had the staying power to be rewarded by multiple climaxes. Now we build toward bigger ones.

The Uncrowned King
The Sensational Rise of William Randolph Hearst
Reveals how an unheralded young newspaperman from San Francisco arrived in New York and created the most successful daily of his time, pushing the medium to an unprecedented level of influence and excitement, and leading observers to wonder if newspapers might be more powerful than kings and popes and presidents. Journalist Kenneth Whyte offers a window onto the media world at the turn of the 20th century as he chronicles Hearst's rivalry with Joseph Pulitzer, the undisputed king of New York journalism, in the most spectacular newspaper war of all time. They battled head-to-head through the thrilling presidential election campaign of 1896 and the Spanish-American War--a conflict that Hearst was accused of fomenting and that he covered in person. By 1898, Hearst had supplanted Pulitzer as the dominant force in New York publishing, and was on his way to becoming one of the most powerful private citizens in 20th-century America.--From publisher description.

Ok. Finally got my login to work, so I dont show up as anonymous.
First, I agree that those are stupid laws you referenced.
But what I do have to tell you is this. "The problem with the Texas law is that it requires "the average person" to apply their own "standards" (read: right wing christians dictate what's decent; Clearly a loophole bypassing Church/State separation)."
There is NO law on separation of Church and State, it was in a letter AND it is often used far out of context. The original intent was ONLY to keep the government OUT of church business and NOT the other way around.

Location ideal as away from the main tourist trap of Patong, but also close enough that the beach is a 5 minute walk.

One of my favorite wines, the 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Réservée is a classic. Beautiful on the nose, with notions of ground pepper, wild herbs, minerality and smoked plum and dark fruit, its medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and has plenty of tannin that comes through on the finish. Similar in style to a lighter-weight 2010, drink this beauty anytime over the coming 12-15 years. (JD)
(10/ 2014)
Bright purple. Smoky, spice-accented aromas of blackberry and cherry-cola, with sexy floral and mineral overtones. Sweet and expansive on the palate, offering an array of red and dark berry preserve flavors complicated by hints of Indian spices and black pepper. Rich and energetic, with strong finishing thrust, slow-building tannins and a late kick of smoky minerality. I was looking for some funky gaminess here but didn't find any.

I've been playing this game for about 1 and a half months now, i'm starting to get near level 30(currently level 25) and I was just wondering once I reach level 30 how long should i wait before starting ranked.
w8 till u learn to play 5 roles: jungle support ad carry top and mid.
then play...
Gift of God
when you can play every role and have runes for them
Senior Member
As long as you have a basic runepage for each role, and are able to play 2-3 champions in each role, you should be fine
Just one thing dont play ranked when you JUST hit level 30, people are actually good in ranked.
My view is that the fundamental difference between Normal Mode and Ranked Mode is the mentality with which people approach them. In ranked game, the goal is very clear - you want to win with your skills (and not just to get a high ELO). This means that you are expected to play at a certain level. This is not to say that you must be good, but rather that your attitude must be "how can I be good?" and "how do I win this game?" You must try.
If you simply go into ranked games expecting to have a good time like you do in a normal mode, where you can basically make as many mistakes as you want without reprisal, then you will end up ruining the experience for other players, because those players are in it for the win.
The best way to experience this is of course to try a couple of ranked games. Hence I think when you are thinking about it, you should probably give it a shot when you can. Just play a couple of games, and try your very best in each game. If you find your skills to be inadequate, practise in normal mode a bit more. If you do not enjoy the change in atmosphere, again, you should stay with normal mode.
At the end of the day, not everyone wants to be competitive at a professional level, so it comes down to how you wish to play. I hope this helps.
After you read this, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning...3Kruger_effect , you can play ranked.

text: On two servers, I followed the instructions for updating to pkgng, with portmaster: Code: # portsnap fetch update # make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster config clean build deinstall install # echo "WITH_PKGNG=yes" >> /etc/make.conf # pkg2ng Now, one machine updates with portmaster without complaint, but the other says: Code: "Package installation support cannot be used with pkgng yet, it will be disabled." I reinstalled portmaster again, but that didn't help. Suggestions? FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE

EPCOT's Shabby Norway Film making waves in Norway
It's taken a few years for word of the retro and outdated status of the cinematic climax of the Norway Pavilion at EPCOT Center to percolate back to the rocky and troll infested shores of Norway itself. But finally, reality … Continue reading

Pershing Square
Andrew Ross Sorkin Smells Something Fishy
Late last week, Botox-maker Allergan Inc sued Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Pershing Square, alleging the latter two had engaged in insider trading when Pershing bought $1 billion worth of Allergan shares ahead of a takeover offer by the hedge fund and Valeant. On the suggestion of wrongdoing, Valeant called with charges "baseless," while Ackman stated in […]
Bill Ackman, Valeant Have Things To Say Re: Insider Trading Suit By Allergan
The short response: go fuck yourself. The slightly longer one:
Bill Ackman Is Sorry You Got Your Hopes Up
Remember, last week, when Bill Ackman gave a presentation about Herbalife, the company he is shorting? And the day prior, went on CNBC to announce the event, telling viewers they would learn "why Herbalife is going to collapse"? And described the presentation as "the most important" one of his career? And back at Pershing Square, […]
07/28/14: The Greatest Day Of Bill Ackman's Life Thus Far
The day the Feds start listening to Ackman and shut down Herbalife will surely take the cake, but until then, this will have to do:
Memo To Herbalife: Bill Ackman Will Make This An Extracurricular Activity If He Has To
A question that many have asked themselves and others since Bill Ackman announced he was shorting shake and supplement company Herbalife is, "Okay, but for how long? When does it end?" The Pershing Square founder and his team could very well be right in classifying the organization as a pyramid scheme, but central to their […]
Don't Start Your Pershing Square Redemption Pool Just Yet
As you've probably heard by now, Bill Ackman gave a little presentation yesterday, on his favorite supplement and diet shakes company, Herbalife. Prior to the event, the Pershing Square founder appeared on CNBC hyping up the thing so hard that he came extremely close to promising video of CEO Michael Johnson threatening to fire employees […]
Bill Ackman Hates The Hell Out Of Herbalife Because God Damnit He Loves America
Yesterday afternoon, hedge fund manager Bill Ackman made a bold statement. A presentation delivered live in midtown Tuesday morning was to be "the most important" one of his career and at the end of it, we would "learn why Herbalife is going to collapse." On CNBC, he acknowledged that he was "raising expectations," but assured […]
Bill Ackman Set To Blow Your Flipping Mind On Tuesday: Bill Ackman
Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has given many momentous presentations in his day: the unveiling of his Herbalife short, his highly emotional address of Target shareholders, and all matters of MBIA. But believe him when he says such things will absolutely pale in comparison to tomorrow's event. Forget the thousands of hours he's already spent […]
Bill Ackman Pretty Sure BillAckman.com Seriously Overvalued
By day, Jeff Klaips manages a construction clean-up company in a Chicago suburb, but he's also looking to make a pretty penny from the sale of BillAckman.com and WilliamAckman.com. He's been trying to pique the interest of the Pershing Square Capital Management founder-or someone who'd like to use his name. Klaips already made a profit […]
Bill Ackman Doing Okay For Himself This Year
Not only have he and Carl Icahn forgiven each other, but his fund has done pretty well, too. If Herbalife would just fall off a cliff, he'd consider it a hattrick.
Pershing Square Has A Few Things To Say To Allergan Shareholders
Nobody asked Bill Ackman if he was OK with Allergan telling Valeant to go shove it because they're a terrible company whose only business is to buy other businesses. He'd like to know if they asked anybody else.
The Pershing Square founder smartly used a cleverly disguised subsidiary to build up its largest investment ever, in Botox-maker Allergan. It has similar plans for the future, although the element of surprise may have been lost.
Bill Ackman Doing Okay For Himself This Year
Every Ackman investment appears to have made money this year, including Beam, the Herbalife short and Platform Specialty Products Corp. Nutritional supplement maker Herbalife, for example, has been hit by reports of several government investigations into the company, which has helped push the stock down about 26 percent so far in 2014. The Pershing Square […]
Bill Ackman's Boyish Visage To Be Preserved For Posterity
The Pershing Square Capital Management chief will never have to grow a beard to hide his frown lines if he can pull off his latest effort.
Bill Ackman Doing Alright For Himself This Year
No one has made Herbalife "disappear" yet, as he recently requested, but Pershing was up 11.7 percent through February, and that's something worth celebrating. Not crying tears of joy over, but raising a glass to, nonetheless. You want wet, raw, uncontrollable displays of emotion, you're going to need to take Herbalife out in the middle […]
Bill Ackman Thrilled Other People Are Suing Over Fannie, Freddie
The Pershing Square chief thinks that Fairholme Capital and Perry Capital will win their lawsuits re: the government stealing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from their shareholders and directing every last cent of profit into Jack Lew's slush fund. And he's figured out how to make even more money from said victory than they will: […]
Ackman: Now Would Be A Really Good Time For Someone To Put A Stop To Herbalife
Even better than the last time he asked, when the only thing that happened was the opposite of what he wanted, and cost him a large sum of money.
Herbalife Unsuccessful In Attempt To Include Anyone Who's Ever Come Within 10 Blocks Of Pershing Square's Office In Protective Order
The proposed order was drafted by Herbalife and Dana Bostick, the former California distributor who is suing the company under the state's "chain letter," or pyramid scheme, law. It's common for parties to come up with protective orders that forbids sharing of confidential information obtained during discovery — but the judge balked when Herbalife went […]
Pershing Square: We Don't Need A Fancy PricewaterHouse Coopers Audit To Tell Us That Herbalife Is A Ponzi Scheme
"It is not the role of Herbalife's auditor to determine if the company is a pyramid scheme. Rather, that determination depends on whether distributors earn more from recruiting new distributors than from retail sales to consumers who are not distributors. The few Herbalife distributors that make money earn the vast majority of their profits from […]
Not Including The Time Last January He Took Part In A CNBC Interview With Bill Ackman Wherein He Likened The Pershing Square Founder To The Little Boys He Used To Beat Up In Queens, Carl Icahn Hasn't Spoken To Bill Ackman In "Years"
Pershing Square's Bill Ackman appeared on Bloomberg Television for an hour today from the Robin Hood Investors Conference in New York, telling Bloomberg TV's Stephanie Ruhle that he'll take his Herbalife bet "to the end of the earth" even as he has lost $400-$500 million on the investment. He also said that Herbalife longs are […]

Area Hedge Fund Manager Doesn't Get Emotional About Investments Except The Times He Cries In Public About Them
I've seen my share of odd moments during annual meetings, but until Thursday I'd never seen a grown man cry during one. O.K., maybe "cry" is a bit of an overstatement for what happened. Still, it was pretty startling when, in the middle of his speech to Target Corporation shareholders, William A. Ackman, the hedge […]
Pershing Square Investors Standing By Their Man
William Ackman's bad year is taking a big toll. The activist hedge-fund manager has seen his firm's assets under management decline by $1.2 billion from a high point earlier this year, largely due to investment declines, according to people familiar with its operations…At the end of September, Pershing Square's total assets under management stood at […]
Bill Ackman Can No Longer Walk Down The Street Without Being Approached By CEOs Who Saw Him Coming, Handed A Pre-Written Resignation Letter, And Told "I Thought I'd Just Make This Easier On The Both Of Us"
The activist investor William A. Ackman has had a bruising year, but with one investment, Air Products and Chemicals, he now has something to show for his effort. Air Products, a producer of industrial gases, announced on Thursday that it would add three new directors to its board and begin a search for a new […]
Story Of Pershing Square's Investment In JC Penney Is Over
And it has ended with the handsome prince, practically perfect in every way, being forced to sell his shares in the company. He tried as hard as he could to change them for the better, but in the end, you can't help people who won't help themselves.
"Our Successes Vastly Overwhelm Our Failures"
Bill Ackman: Mistakes (Though Not Many) Were Made
There comes a time in every hedge fund manager's life when he must admit that he made a mistake. Sometimes that mistake was borrowing money from an investor fund to pay personal taxes. Sometimes that mistake was knocking off that hooker. Sometimes that mistake was thinking investors would be happy to hear that their one […]

This is one of biggest pool halls i have found in the Springs area. I wanna say they have between 30-50 tables and the service is ok. They have a limited menu but the menu includes Bratwursts, Nacho's and Pizza. They do have a rule of no one under 21 past 8pm so that will limit our younger members but they are still welcome to come chill and play for a couple hours.
This is great casual environment to have a lot of fun and meet members of the anime group. Also a great way to end a work week.
If you have trouble finding it you may text me at[masked] or[masked]-1677.
You have group members with kids also? I have kids and wondering if sometimes there are family events?

I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.
