Degrassi Breakdown: "Shoot to Thrill"Posted on 10/16/2009 by Mary
BIG TIME EPISODE SPOILERS BELOW, don't read if you haven't watched the new Degrassi episode yet! But if you have:
1) Fiona's so much nicer than I expected! What do you guys think of her?
2) Poor Alli... everyone gets PDA from their boyfriends except for her. What are your PDA maximum and minimum? As in what level of PDA can you tolerate from your bf/gf... and what level do you absolutely have to have in order to feel appreciated? Like if someone won't hold your hand in public, are you OK with that?
3) When Johnny told Alli to "act a little more mature", I found myself wondering: Who was acting less mature? Alli, being all goo-goo eyes and spoon-feeding Johnny in the cafeteria, or Johnny, being so intent on maintaining his tough image that he could not tolerate a photo of himself with a stuffed animal being made public?
4) Do you think Sav and Johnny are right that lovey dovey talk should be kept private? Why do guys give each other such a hard time over doing that kind of stuff, if they all do it once they're in love?
5) That last scene, when Alli comes stomping up to Johnny -- the guy she loved to pieces like one day earlier -- I was so pissed at him right along with her. And then you realize he's totally going to keep those pics and she has no control over them anymore. That was like my nightmare... I think that's probably just as bad a fate as having your pics get on the Internet, is knowing that this guy you are SO OVER and pretty much hate might have control over the privacy of your body. So messed up. What were you guys feeling during that scene?
Degrassi Breakdown: "Just Can't Get Enough"Posted on 10/09/2009 by Mary
So what did you guys think of the season premiere? I thought Jamie Johnston did an amazing job; it looked like it must have been an exhausting shoot for him. Anyway, let's take it all apart...
1) Dude, what is Peter doing wrong that all his girlfriends keep moving to other continents? I could feel his heart cracking when Mia pulled that "Don't get mad BUT...." < /p>
2) Would you feel jealous or threatened if you walked in on your best friend bonding with the new kid, like when Alli walked in on Clare and Jenna doing pedicures?
3) Jenna seems like trouble on a few levels BUT, hear me out: I was thinking about how maybe she's just doing her best? Because it's hard to be the new girl.... you've got to make all new friends, and everyone's already got history with each other, and if you want to date anyone it's almost impossible not to step on SOMEONE's toes. Have you ever been the new kid, and did you have any trouble with it?
4) Do you trust Jenna? Do you think her "I'm not half as pretty as you, Alli!" type stuff is genuine or manipulative?
5) Hey. Holly J's priority is this taco. Got it?
6) Also, Holly J has lots of sides, you can't just pick the one you like. Has anyone ever tried to "change" the parts of your personality they didn't like, and how did it go down?

This must be the season for reports on eating fruit and vegetables ( see November 11 post ). Now, the National Fruit & Vegetable Alliance (NFVA) , a public-private partnership to promote greater intake of these foods, has issued a Report Card. Here's the Executive Summary and the Full Report Card .
No surprise, but average fruit and vegetable consumption is still way below recommended levels.
Here are some of the Report Card grades :
USA Today has a story on this report, which also identifies the most popular of these foods. In case you were wondering, the top four fruits are Apples, Bananas, Strawberries, and Grapes. The top four vegetables, according to this survey, are Broccoli, Corn, Green beans, and Carrots (I'm not sure I believe this list).
And finally, New York City reports that its Food Stamp users received more than $200,000 in fresh produce coupons for farmers markets in 2010. That, at least, sounds like genuine progress.

decoding the bitstream into a set of markings on a virtual representation of the gate array;

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to integrated circuits and, more particularly, to arrays of devices that are field or mask programmable.
2. Description of the Background
Field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), as the name implies, are user programmable after the manufacturing process is completed. An FPGA typically includes a two dimensional array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) distributed over the chip. Each of these CLBs includes a block of configurable logic elements (CLEs) and corresponding programmable routing resources. The routing resources associated with the various CLBs can be programmed by the user to provide various connections among the CLEs. In addition, the user can program the CLEs to implement different functions.
The flexibility provided by FPGAs comes at the cost of logic density. For example, suppose that certain CLBs are configured to implement an adder function having a certain number of bits. The CLBs required to implement such an adder function will have a larger layout area than a dedicated adder function having the same number of bits. Thus, FPGAs exhibit a reduced logic density with respect to dedicated circuits because of the additional resources required to provide the routing resources needed so that the CLEs can be user programmable.
It has been recognized that a user programmable interconnect technique or manufacturer programmability just prior to shipment would allow lower tooling costs and faster delivery times. To such an end, gate arrays were developed as an alternative to FPGAs. Non-field programmable gate arrays can be programmed to implement application specific functions. The function of a non-field programmable gate array is defined during the later stages of manufacture, after a defined pattern of transistors has been formed. An example of a non-field programmable gate array is a sea-of-gates (SOG) gate array, which is a mask programmed gate array.
An SOG gate array, in which a pattern of transistors are interconnected by custom patterns of metal lines, has a significantly higher logic density than an FPGA. In an SOG gate array, a predefined pattern of transistors is connected directly with user-defined metal, both to form gates and to interconnect those gates. Consequently, the extensive programmable routing resources required for an FPGA are not present in an SOG gate array. However, non-field programmable gate arrays, such as SOG gate arrays, are inflexible in that they do not provide for field programmability.
It has been recognized that an application specific logic area ASLA may be an equivalent of an FPGA. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,825,202, U.S. Pat. No. 5,068,603, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,550,893. While those patents recognize the relationship between an ASLA and a FPGA, they do not provide an easily implemented mechanism for producing an ASLA from a FPGA that has been programmed to implement a specific function. Therefore, the need exists for a method and apparatus to easily translate a programmed FPGA to an equivalent ASLA.
The present invention is directed to a "via-programmable" gate array (VPGA). A via is a cut manufactured between two metal layers on an integrated circuit to electrically interconnect two segments of metal on those different layers. A VPGA differs from an FPGA in that the programmability in a VPGA is provided by modification of placement of vias rather than data bits stored in a memory. In the interconnect structure of a VPGA, the programmable interconnect point is a single via, which replaces four to eight transistors in an FPGA. The vias may be used to interconnect logic functions or to implement logic functions.
Another aspect of the present invention allows for the construction of a VPGA whose architecture mimics the architecture of an existing FPGA, with some or all of the field programmability replaced by via-programmability. The proposed architecture of the VPGA is designed such that the corresponding FPGA can be used for design prototyping and the VPGA can use the same bit stream to produce a more robust, higher performance, lower cost integrated circuit or system. The FPGA bitstream is converted to a set of via masks for manufacturing the VPGA.
Another aspect of the present invention is the use of via programmable switch boxes that allow one layer of metal to be connected to another layer of metal through the use of vias without creating dangling wires or adding unnecessary capacitance to the lines. Those, and other advantages and benefits will become apparent from the Description of the Preferred Embodiments herein below.
For the present invention to be easily understood and readily practiced, the present invention will now be described, for purposes of illustration and not limitation, in conjunction with the following figures, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating the methodology of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating the software for translating the bit stream into via geometries;
FIG. 3 illustrates a connection block where metal runs can be interconnected through vias;
FIG. 4 is another view of the connection block of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 illustrates a prior art implementation of a lookup table;
FIG. 6 illustrates a via equivalent of the implementation of FIG. 5; and
FIG. 7 illustrates a completed device.
FIG. 1 illustrates the methodology of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the process begins at step 10 with the creation of a netlist describing the functioning of the logic circuit. The netlist is operated on by known physical design and synthesis software programs at step 12. The synthesis program maps the requirements set forth on the netlist into a set of components or logic blocks, while the physical design determines which functions are implemented by which blocks. The physical design program determines the state of the transistors within a FPGA or the location of vias within a VPGA. The state of the FPGA is defined by a bitstream, which is a series 1s and 0s. Each bit in the bitstream corresponds to some function in the FPGA. For example, a "1" in a certain location in the bitstream might indicate that an active device should connect two different conductors, or a "0" might mean that the output of a logic gate is zero under a certain input condition. The bitstream is an encoding of the user's logic design for a particular FPGA. That bitstream is stored at step 14 in a file, for example, on a disk or in a portion of memory in a computer. Alternatively, if the physical design software is applied to a VPGA, then at step 15 the locations and geometries of the vias are stored.
The bitstream stored at step 14 may be used to program a conventional FPGA as shown by step 16. The FPGA can be reprogrammed several times until optimal operation, defined by an optimal bitstream, is achieved.
One aspect of the present invention is to use the bitstream stored at step 14, which preferably is an optimal bitstream, at step 18 to create a set of via geometries. At step 18, a program, described in greater detail in conjunction with FIG. 2, translates the bit stream that defines the state of the FPGA switches into a set of via geometries. The via geometries either from step 15 or step 18 are then used to create a set of masks that define a set of vias that provide the same logical interconnection between devices as the bitstream provides to the FPGA at step 16.
At step 20 a VPGA is manufactured. The fabrication process begins with a set of standard masks common to all instances of the particular VPGA being manufactured. The custom via masks created at step 18 are used to specify logic functions performed by logic elements and interconnect the various logic elements thereby eliminating, or reducing to the extent desired, the need for programmable logic elements and programmable connections between the logic elements. The use of the via masks allows for higher functional density and better performance than either an FPGA or a one time programmable device. Furthermore, the VPGA requires substantially less verification and design rule checking than does an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC). Additionally, a VPGA does not suffer from the need for redesign based on errors that are made during routing. The limited number of masks required for a VPGA provide a satisfactory performance versus cost compromise between an FPGA and a fully customized ASIC. And because the via mask can be created from the same bit stream used to program the FPGA, the need for further logic design and verification on the VPGA is eliminated.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating one implementation of the software of step 18 for translating the bit stream into via geometries. The first step is step 30 in which the bitstream representing the state of a FPGA is fetched and stored in memory. At step 32, the bitstream is decoded into a specific set of markings on a virtual representation of the chosen VPGA physical architecture. Each marking corresponds to the location of a via connecting two different layers of metal interconnections. At step 33, using physical information that describes the gate array size, architecture and associated design rules, physical coordinates are generated for each mark in the virtual representation identifying the location in each of the layers to be cut or opened for each via. Information should be in a standard format that is readable by a physical layout design system for integrated circuits.
At step 34, a physical layout system or database is used to generate a set of masks used to fabricated the vias on the gate array to produce a via-programmed gate array.
Turning now to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 illustrates one example of a connection block 40 constructed according to the teachings of the present invention where metal runs can be interconnected using vias. The connection block 40 has a first major conductor 42 extending from the left as shown in the figure and terminating in, for example, a "T" configuration. A second major conductor 44 terminates with, for example, a "T" configuration, and extends to the right as shown in the figure. A connection member 46 is positioned between the Ts of the conductors 42, 44. The conductors 42, 44 and the connection member 46 are comprised of metal and may be, for example, fabricated in metal layer five.
The connection block 40 is constructed of a second structure which may be identical to the structure just describe, but fabricated in metal layer 6, and rotated clockwise ninety degrees as shown by third major conductor 42′, connection member 46′ and fourth major conductor 44′. Potential vias at locations 50′ on conductor 42′, at location 51 ′ on connection member 46′ and at location 52′ on conductor 44′ connect to the underlying metal layer five on conductor 42 at locations 50, 51, and 52, respectively. Similarly, potential vias at locations 53′ on conductor 42′, at location 54′ on connection member 46′ and at location 55′ on conductor 44′ connect to the underlying metal layer five on connection member 46 at locations 53, 54, and 55, respectively. Finally, potential vias at locations 56′ on conductor 42′, at location 57′ on connection member 46′ and at location 58′ on conductor 44′ connect to the underlying metal layer five on conductor 44 at locations 56, 57, and 58, respectively. Another view of the connection block 40 can be seen in FIG. 4
An examination of FIG. 3 illustrates how connections can be made between metal layers five and six. For example, a signal on conductor 42′ can be "switched", i.e. connected, to conductor 42 by fabricating a via at location 50′-50; a signal on conductor 42 can be switched to conductor 44 by fabricating vias at locations 51-51 ′ and 57′-57. As can be seen, these exemplary connections can be performed such that there are no conductors having substantial portions extending beyond the connection, thereby eliminating the so called dangling wire problem and associated problems of unwanted capacitance.
Other connection block configurations are possible. For example, other major conductors could terminate in the connection block, and terminations may be by configurations other than a T configuration, e.g. L shaped termination.
FIG. 5 illustrates the implementation of a lookup table, which is used as the logic element of many FPGAs. In FIG. 5, the configuration storage elements 60 store the truth table for a user-defined logic function. The storage elements 60 are loaded by the user through configuration circuitry with values of one or zero. The outputs of the configuration storage elements connect to the inputs of a multiplexor 62. The selected inputs to the multiplexor 62 come from the programmable interconnect. This implementation of a programmable logic element allows a user to specify any logic function on the inputs to the lookup table.
FIG. 6 illustrates a via-programmable equivalent of a lookup table as shown in FIG. 5. FIG. 6 differs from FIG. 5 in that the configuration storage elements have been replaced by two potential via locations 64 and 66. If a via is placed at location 64 in the fabrication mask, a value of one will be output whenever that input pattern is selected by the multiplexor 62. If a via is placed at location 66 in the fabrication mask, a value of zero will be output whenever that input pattern is selected by the multiplexor 62. In that way, there is a one-to-one correspondence between bits in the FPGA bitstream and via locations in the VPGA.
FIG. 7 illustrates a VPGA 70. The VPGA 70 is implemented with a minimized number of masks and implementation complexities. For example, customization of metal masks requires DRC, noise, DFM analysis, etc., which may be eliminated by the present invention. However, both performance and density are superior to an FPGA. By utilizing a VPGA, the density of an ASIC is achieved with the regularity of an FPGA. Other benefits include: mask amortization, predesigned power and clock signals, higher yields due to, for example, regularized metal patterns, as well as simplified design and verification flow.
While the present invention has been described in conjunction with preferred embodiments thereof, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that modifications and variations in addition to those already discussed are possible. The present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations and is intended to be limited only by the following claims.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 12/7/12
Cleveland Cavaliers rookie shooting guard Dion Waiters did not travel with the team for their impending contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Reminaing in Cleveland for treatment on his sprained left ankle, the fourth-overall pick tweeted that had a "minor setback," but will have a "major return." http://twitter.com/dionwaiters3/status/2770715696705959939 The injury occurred one week ago in the team's double-overtime loss to the Portland Trailblazers when Waiters came down on the foot of fellow rookie Tyler Zeller. Waiters left the arena following Wednesday's loss to the Chicago Bulls in a walking boot, but the team stated that this was simply to immobilize the ankle. Waiters is averaging 15.2 points, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game on the season. The Cavaliers have lost the two games which they have played without him, both by ten points, starting two different players in his place. Teammate and backcourt partner Kyrie Irving remains two weeks away while he recovers from a fractured index finger. [Related: Cavaliers Film Room: The Syracuse Kid]

Good for beginner's....,
This review is from: PHP: Your visual blueprint for creating open source, server-side content (Paperback)
I bought this book in hopes of it being a little bit more advanced, not to say that I didn't learn much, and the author's more visual aproach is something that I enjoyed. Overall I give it 4/5 stars, because it is a GREAT book for those just learning the basics of PHP.
I recommend this book to anyone needing a great book to learn the ins and outs of PHP :)

If you have never worked for a trading firm or been a local on the floor of a trading pit, it's almost impossible to understand why financial markets behave the way they do. I can say this with some certainty because, in a previous life, I worked for several proprietary trading firms in Chicago. I'm here to tell you the game is rigged but not in the way most people imagine. If you would like to get an inside look into what happens in the world of proprietary trading, I invite you to read through this site and watch some of the videos I have posted on youtube. You will learn more from me for free than I learned from all the courses I bought as a novice way back when I knew everything there was to know about technical analysis and thought I was a genius. Except I was a genius who wasn't making any money.
"95% of traders fail to make money in the long run." So goes the saying. While I'm sure no one has ever done a study to prove that number, I think it's safe to assume that it's probably not far from the truth. However, you never hear a follow up saying which accurately explains why this is the case. I can tell you it's not because 95% of people are stupid. It's not because the exchanges and the brokers are the only ones who make money in the trading world (although they certainly make a lot). It's not any of the usual suspects which are mentioned in blogs and books. The reason a very large percentage of aspiring traders fail is because they do not understand the game. They do not have the first clue as to how the game is played. They do not understand the importance of size, the domino effect, risk to reward, profit per contract traded, the meaning of "low risk/high probability", and the list goes on.
The majority of people who attempt trading essentially want to be spoon-fed a million dollars. Who doesn't? The others who are willing to put in the effort usually do not have the time or the bankroll necessary to learn. They have to work real jobs just so they can survive and they simply do not have enough hours in the day to give themselves a legitimate shot at success.
Trading is a skill which has to be developed. Try to imagine sitting down to play a game of chess with a grand master after you've only been playing for a month. Or building a custom car after you've worked for an oil change shop for a month. Or trying a murder case the day after you pass the bar exam and become a lawyer. Silly notions. Yet people seem to think they can learn how to trade in a month. So why do they think that way? It's a combination of many things but it's mostly based on lack of education and misinformation.
Most people start out in this business the same way. You read a book which tells you that it's possible to turn $2,000 into $20,000 in a few months or maybe even a few weeks. You can do it from the comfort of your own home. There's no overhead, no employees and no customers. All you do is click your mouse a few times and voila…you're on your way to riches galore.
Then you open an account and place your first trade. You might win. You might lose. It's irrelevant really. The important thing is that you've discovered the rush. You see it's possible. If you win, you see what it's like to make a 15% return on your money in a day. If you lose, you think that if you had just done the exact opposite of what you did, you would have made a 15% return on your money in a day. You're hooked.
The quest begins. Books, books and more books. Videos. Seminars. Blah. Everyone promising the missing link. No one delivering. But you won't stop. Because there are guys out there making millions. You know there are. At least you think you know. You've read their names in the books. The hedge fund managers. The "flippers" of the world. You know they're real. So what do they know that you don't?
Well, for starters…
*Do you know that most professionals who trade large size either own or lease a seat on the exchange? This reduces their transaction costs substantially. As a matter of fact, if they do enough size, their exchange fees are almost $0. This means they only pay clearing, brokerage and NFA fees. If they're doing that much size, they can usually get in with a broker who only charges a few cents a round turn. So a professional pays somewhere between $0.05 and $0.30 a round turn while you pay $2.00 to $3.50 a round turn or more. Imagine how much better your bottom line would be if you paid one fourth of the commissions you currently pay, let alone if you paid less than one tenth of what you currently pay. This is not applicable to traders who are just starting out and trading a one lot but if you start doing 1000+ turns a month, it is worth your while to do a cost/benefit analyisis and look into possibly leasing a seat.
*Do you know that short-term movements are way less random than long-term movements? People who don't know any better will often call the intraday chop "market noise" as though it's meaningless and there's no rhyme or reason to it. The reality is that it's usually far easier to predict what's going to happen or not happen on an intraday basis. Short-term "market noise" often determines long-term market trends. Apply that idea to your life in general. Can you tell me what's going to happen in the next six minutes with a pretty high degree of accuracy? Can you then tell me what's going to happen in the next six months with that same degree of accuracy?
*Do you know that most professionals don't use charts to determine their exact entry and exit points? They are aware of major support and resistance levels but when it comes to actually placing the trades, they typically determine their entries and exits by watching nothing more than the bids, offers, and time and sales. In other words, the orderbook (a.k.a. orderflow).
*Do you know that many professionals rarely look at charts or may not look at them at all because they are capable of making profitable trades by only watching the DOM (depth of market) platform?
*Do you know that the person who is bidding might actually be trying to sell or the person who is offering might actually be trying to buy? How is this relevant? It's relevant because as soon as that person gets his order filled at the better price, the "fake" bid (or offer) will disappear and the market will probably move in that direction for at least a tick or two if not more.
*Do you know that all trading platforms are not created equal? If you don't believe me, run a few of them side by side during the unemployment number release. If you're a scalper, having access to the best platform is critical. There are several different ones from which to choose. I use the JigsawTrading depth and sales platform which can be plugged into NinjaTrader or into any platform which is fed by the Open E Cry (OEC) data feed. It will also be available to MultiCharts users in the near future. The Jigsaw DOM is, in my opinion, hands down the best DOM platform for the normal retail trader. TT's X-trader is the standard and for good reason but it's quite expensive and it's really not necessary unless you are working many types of orders simultaneously. It's designed more for pros who do a lot of HFT, spreading, etc. There are some other good ones on the market as well but the point is that you need a good DOM. It makes a huge difference. The good platforms flow really well in fast markets and you can see prints that you miss on other platforms. Most people do not understand this because most people have never seen a good DOM in action. This is one of the reasons why people do not understand the importance of the order book. I have many people ask me if using these particular platforms are requisites for implementing my strategies and the answer to that is no, they are not. My strategies are based around reading the volume and the order flow and you can use any DOM you like. I simply feel that these platforms give you more of an edge when it comes to following the volume.
Many aspiring traders don't really understand what scalping is. They have become infatuated with technical analysis and risk to reward strategies and think that scalpers are "gangster traders" (I quote from a forum post I once read). These people are wrong. If anything, scalpers tend to be some of the most risk averse traders. There is a large amount of misinformation circulating out there in regards to scalping. There are some who think it might be a good strategy but feel it is beyond their abilities. They prefer to remain safe in their charts and place stop losses based on past price action rather than current events.
If you want to have any chance of turning small amounts of money into large amounts of money fairly quickly, you need to familiarize yourself with the idea of scalping. I explain this in more detail on the "For Inexperienced Traders" page. If you don't know why I'm saying this, read that page in it's entirety.
Scalping is probably not beyond you. It's just foreign to you. It's a completely different way of approaching trading and it will require some time to learn. Anything worthwhile does. But you don't have to be a rocket scientist to get it.
I am not a genius. I am good at games. I knew a trader who made a million dollars trading but couldn't figure out how to work the microwave in our office. This is true. I came to find out later that he was a great chess player after he repeatedly stomped me at will. I have met successful traders who have Ph.Ds and others who are dropouts.
It does seem like good traders often tend to be good at games and puzzles as well but this is not always true. The only thing that all traders do seem to have in common is a certain mindset (or perhaps, a certain disease, depending upon one's perspective) which allows them to risk large sums of money without concern for losing it. Financial stability isn't something which concerns us. We are very aware that while we may have made money in the past, it's possible we may lose it tomorrow. There are certain safeguards one can put into place to prevent oneself from going completely broke in one day but it's usually possible to override those safeguards if one really loses one's mind.
I know a guy who made a million and lost it. I know another guy who made 20 million and lost a whole bunch of it. I know another guy who had several years of triple digit returns on a small fund and then put together a 100 million dollar fund and blew it all. These guys were great traders. They didn't get lucky when they made money. They understood the game and played it very well. They didn't get unlucky when they lost. They broke their own rules and started making stupid trades. They stopped waiting for high probability trades and started taking shots. They started trading too much size. They started holding positions much longer than normal. They started thinking, "it has to come back".
No. It doesn't.
I've made a lot of money trading over the years. There are guys who have made much more but I've made more than the majority of people who attempt it. I'm way ahead of the game. It wasn't due to luck. I can show you some of my strategies and give you examples of how to apply them in the real world. I can give you specifics about why they worked and explain why I feel certain movements lead to high probability trades which work more often than not. But I offer no guarantees. I offer no magical system. You may never make a dollar trading. In fact, if you're new to the world of trading and haven't yet reached the point of no return, I advise you to quit before you start. Don't bother trying. Your odds are slim to none. The road is not easy. It will take you a long time to become proficient just as it would at any other worthwhile endeavor. So go find another worthwhile endeavor that you might actually enjoy. Seriously.
If you're already hooked, then you might want to check out the No BS Day Trading basic course and intermediate course as well as the webinars. If you pay close attention to the information provided (and if you have the mindset for it), you can cut years off the learning curve. I've been there and done it and can show you what tends to work and what doesn't. At the very least, I can point you in the right direction and possibly keep you from wasting anymore time and money on some "buy green, sell red" system. Once you have a better understanding of what's really happening behind the scenes, you will be able to weed out the legitimate guys from the salesmen.
The truth is that you don't need to buy any course to make it. The only necessary thing for you to do is to spend many, many hours in front of your computer staring at the DOM. That's it. It's how I learned. It's how everyone learns. Bids and offers. Offers and bids. Time and sales. Market profile. No one taught me anything. I just sat there and stared for hours and days and months. Like I said, I can help shorten your learning curve substantially but you are still going to have to put in the time. There's no way around it.
Everyone wants to know why I share my strategies. It's a legitimate question. There are several answers to this. For starters, there's nothing secret about them. What I am sharing with you is already known by every other pro in the world. I've had conversations with guys I've never met before and within two minutes the guy is talking about the very same things I'm sharing with you. We don't all trade the same way but yet, we do.
I also share my strategies because people pay for trading information. There's a market for it and I'm offering my ideas to that market. The difference between me and the majority of the other guys is that I put my money where my mouth is. In the course materials I offer, I will show you real trades made in real-time with real money. I will show you good trades that worked perfectly and explain why they worked. I will show you trades which I thought were good when I entered them but then I saw something which changed my mind and so I scratched the trade or took a small loss. I will explain why I changed my mind about those trades. I will also show you really stupid trades which you should not repeat and while I won't be able to explain why I decided to be an idiot at that moment in time, I can tell you why the trade was stupid and hopefully help you avoid being an idiot yourself.
If I share my strategies with you and you end up becoming a hugely successful trader as a result, you're not really going to affect the market that much. You're not going to be major competition for me. Very few, if any, people who are reading this are going to go on to trade thousands of contracts. And if you do, more power to you. Glad I could be of assistance.
So take a look around. Read the pages for experienced and inexperienced traders. Watch the sample videos. Write me if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them. The goal of this site is to educate you on the real world of trading. I try to cut through the nonsense and BS and get down to the brass tacks. Hence the name…

Itinerary at a Glance
For a more complete description, Download Full Detailed Itinerary
Days 1-3
Bergamo, Italy / Bormio
From Bergamo, in the foothills of the Alps, we head to the Valcamonica to explore a huge collection of stone carvings dating back some 8,000 years. At Stelvio Pass, our hike grants tremendous views of the Valtellina, with its serene pastures, mountain farmsteads, and glacial lakes. In Bormio, we overnight at a hotel that was a retreat for the Imperial Court of Austria, taste Braulio, a renowned local liqueur, and sample homemade bresaola and cheese at a family-run agriturismo.
Days 4-5
Livigno, Valle di Fraele
Our trails in the Valle di Fraele lead to sparkling lakes where we'll watch for ibex, and from the village of Livigno, a cable car brings you to a mountain rifugio for a hike offering breathtaking views of the Alps—and if you like, a tasty lunch of risotto bitto!
Days 6-7
Engadine, Switzerland / Davos
Hiking through larch and pine forests, we head right across the border into the Swiss National Park and the Val Trupchun, habitat of red deer. Our hotel in Davos is the ideal base for our hike around the summit of the Weissfluhjoch.
Days 8-9
Vaduz, Liechtenstein
Crossing into Liechtenstein, our hike brings you through castle-topped villages to Vaduz, the capital of Liechtenstein, with its own atmospheric castle perched high on a hill above town. In the mountain resort of Malbun, a cable car brings you up high to hike above a peaceful valley through meadows full of alpine wildflowers.
Days 10-12
Innsbruck, Austria
After hiking into Austria and the medieval town of Feldkirch, a scenic train ride brings you to Innsbruck, a gorgeous city brimming with Renaissance and Baroque architecture. By funicular, head up into the mountains for a hike with panoramic views of Innsbruck. Depart on Day 12.
For a more complete description, Download Full Detailed Itinerary
What the Trip is Like
This trip is Level 3+, Moderate to Strenuous. We have nine hiking days, with hikes of 3-5 hours over variable hill and mountain trails, with occasional short, steep sections, and all at moderate to low altitudes. Our support vehicle will transport the group's luggage, so you only need to carry a daypack for items you need for the day (sweater, camera, water bottle). Hiking experience is recommended (no climbing or mountaineering experience is necessary), and all participants must be in good physical condition. We strongly urge you to train for the trip with regular hiking, especially over hills or rough terrain, running, swimming, bicycling, or other sports exercise. Your feet should be fully prepared, accustomed to full days in sturdy, well broken-in hiking boots.
We spend our nights in picturesque inns, full of charm and ambiance. All hotels are chosen for their local history and central location. Since they are often in historic buildings the rooms may not conform to uniform international standards. Our leaders try to assign rooms in a fair way so that all participants experience an equal advantage throughout the trip as a whole. Single rooms can be requested, but are not always available, due to the limited space in some of our hotels. If you require a single room, please make the request as early as possible. European single rooms are often smaller than US singles.
Each day we'll sample the culinary delights that these countries have to offer. The meals included in the trip itinerary will be taken at our hotels, at rural agriturismos and restaurants in the towns, with the occasional packed lunch to enjoy on a scenic point on our hike. For lunches and dinners "on your own," the Trip Leader will be happy to recommend options for local restaurants. Please note that in Europe, the dinner hour is considerably later than what it is in the US. We do our best to secure early reservations for our groups, but most often the evening meal will be at 7:30 pm.

ISP hammers Bob Vila site with spam suit

China threatens to block junk e-mailersFebruary 20, 2004
Study: More spam served up to cell phonesFebruary 18, 2004
In the claim, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court of California, Net service provider Hypertouch accused BVWebTies, the company that owns and operates BobVila.com, and one of its partners, BlueStream Media, of breaching guidelines of the Can-Spam Act by sending the ISP and its customers "unwanted and unsolicited" e-mail that advertised a newsletter being distributed by the Web site.
Among other complaints, Hypertouch, which is based in Foster City, Calif., claimed that BobVila.com sent 41 different e-mail messages bearing "materially false or misleading" headers, or subject lines, to trick people into reading the correspondence.
Neither BVWebTies nor BlueStream Media immediately returned calls seeking comment on the lawsuit.
Passed in December 2003, the Can-Spam Act was meant to help regulate spam by threatening various forms of punishment, including possible prison sentences, against individuals and companies responsible for sending unsolicited e-mail.
However, early indications show the law has done little thus far to discourage spammers. A study released in February found that only 3 percent of bulk commercial e-mail included a valid U.S. postal mail address for the sender and a link to opt out of future messages, as required by the federal mandate.
Hypertouch said in its suit that the spam sent by the defendants could be linked to no physical address and that the parties sent the communications to randomly generated and harvested e-mail accounts, as well as to accounts that had submitted requests to opt out through links of other messages. Hypertouch executives labeled the e-mail campaign tactics as classic attempts to deceive consumers and questioned Can-Spam's ability to deter such activity.
"Most ISPs advise their customers to never reply to spam in an attempt to opt out, because that will only confirm for the spammer that an e-mail address is live," Hypertouch President Joe Wagner said in a statement. "BobVila.com and BlueStream Media's actions graphically show how harmful the Can-Spam Act is by requiring recipients to reply to the spam they receive."
The company's legal counsel also criticized Can-Spam, calling the legislation "an open license to spam with very little protection for the public." However, the attorney said Hypertouch will continue to use the law to pursue companies that are spamming its customers. The ISP has previously gone after individuals it believes are responsible for sending "junk faxes," a paper-based cousin of e-mail spam, and is currently engaged in a class-action lawsuit against one person to that end.
Some industry watchers contend that spam distribution has continued to grow since Can-Spam went into effect at the beginning of this year. Approximately 60 percent of e-mail sent in January 2004 was spam, up from 58 percent in December 2003, according to San Francisco-based Brightmail, a spam-filtering company.

- Building for a litigious network?
- Seeing this go to court, I have more questions than comments.
Imagine the next big variant on the worm/virus theme is a paid
advertising payload.
If it is using a broadband ISP subscriber base as the ideal
breeding ground, it seems the ISP that connected an infected
subscriber is now a willing party by allowing it to spread.
If this case is possible, then does the propagation of a virus that
advertises a product from an ISP's network constitute a violation?
Also, what if the virus is created by the competitor to a company
or other spamming outfit? This would be done to provoke or
spam litigious actions on the part of other ISP's that attempt to
follow the money back to the advertised competitor.
What would be a reasonable defense for the company that was
being "spoofed" by such advertising?
I wonder what precedence has been set by allowing companies
to squeak by saying they rely on a third party or subcontractor
for their campaigns...

Bethanychristian1021 oh my, i actually took my commando into veriZon and they didn't believe me because they had not had any problems what so ever with this phone yet. they said to take off the lookout app that's on it because it tends to fail the start up application .. i did that, well they did that for me it was fine for a few weeks and now I have the same issue again. This is what i don't understand kate My commando did the same thing worked great for first 3 months then one morning the I took it off the charging cradle and had a blank/flashing screen, we took it to verizon store the teck said never say any thing like it with a commando. sent me a "new" one no fee Crazygamer101 Never mind It worked itself out Filthymiller how do you forward a text/picture message from the camando bobo Push and hold the senders icon then pick the option forward message shellee How doyou retrive your apps for games after they are downloaded Bartrick01 i have the commando and love it, but in the camera mode i cant get it to zoom, i drag down the settings menu and click on the zoom and there is a slider bar for the zoom, but it is unresponsive. i have tried many times from all angles and everything i can think of. its like its turned off, but i cant find anywhere to turn it on… any help? obxer I have the same problem and can't figure out a solution. Get your's working yet? obxer Found the solution, though it's not a good one — apparently a very limited camera: per manual, when camera is set on 5 mp, zoom is not available. Set it to lower (3 mp) and there is some very limited zoom available. KWeaver126 You have to change the camera's setting. Go to the side bar and hit it then picture size- once you make the size smaller – the zoom will work. Eric55011 you cant zoom if you have it set for 5 megapixels Marty Martin you have to drop the resolution down lower and then u will be able to zoom. fiberman You can zoom if you turn the megapixels down from the max settings Nomadica48 how can you speak and your text come up on the screen and it can be sent? Chris Use Google's "Voice Search" app that's pre-loaded. If you say "Text John Smith, Let's meet at Joe's period" it will get John Smith's phone number from your contacts and type out: Let's meet at Joe's. (You do have to say the word 'period' for it to put the punctuation in, though.) Miller18785 how do i set a ringtone i bought to my text messaging arse1992 I'm having the same problem!

StevenCrandall76 The screen timing out is in one of your settings. You can hit the power button and the phone screen turns back on and all functions are availale again. StevenCrandall76 For emptying your cache, killing apps and killing apps taking mass battery, you can download Android Assistant from the market for free. Also, the apps installed by Verizon will keep turning back on and tampering with this voids your warranty. I have already delt with this too. Tammy Asher; if you download "Go SMS Pro" (A great texting app), you can choose new message and hit the + sign, your entire contact list will pop up. Another great thing about the program is that you can back up all your text messages to an SD card and also send it to your gmail account. When you get a new phone or factory reset your current phone, you can download the app and it will restore all of your messages again with all original time and date stamps from the SD card. Other great free apps that I use are "Zedge" (for wallpapers, ringtones and notification sounds), "RingDroid" (for chopping songs to make your own custom ringtones from your song library), and "Google Maps" for a phenominal navigation. Google Maps is free and is way better than the installed nav and is also free. You can also get street view with it that shows you the exact place you are going to. A new software update just came out the other day that makes the commando even easier and has worked flawless for me since the installation of it. Hope this helps.

Critics say law could chill cinematic criticism
WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg hasn't seen the movie "Traffic," but she's apparently familiar with the racier "Lolita." Justice Stephen Breyer says it's not uncommon for adolescent boys to share lurid pictures with one another.
Those were among the revelations Tuesday as the nation's highest court grappled with the question of whether Congress -- in seeking to stamp out child pornography on the Internet -- went too far by making it a federal crime to knowingly advertise, promote or distribute material even if it only purports to show child pornography.
The case originated out of Miami with the April 2004 arrest of former Metro-Dade Police Sgt. Michael Williams, who's now doing 60 months in federal prison in Texas for possession of child pornography. It's attracted interest from First Amendment advocates, who say the case could chill free expression, including critiques of racy movies.
The justices appeared skeptical of those warnings, though they pushed the Bush administration to define the boundaries: Ginsburg asked whether the language in the legislation would permit the prosecution of someone who said a "film depicts a 12-year-old child as having sexual relations with an old man."
"It could be conceived as child pornography, but it's a truthful statement about 'Lolita,' is it not?" Ginsburg said.
Breyer questioned whether the provision would trip up "schoolboy behavior."
U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement rejected suggestions that the law is so broad that it would encompass such activities as writing about movies or photography or filming mainstream motion pictures.
"The material we are talking about is unlawful even to possess," Clement said, later adding, "If you're taking a movie like 'Traffic' or 'American Beauty,' which is not child pornography, and you're simply truthfully promoting it, you have nothing to worry about with this statute."
An appeals court in 2006 reversed Williams' conviction for promoting child pornography, saying the 2003 law was "unconstitutionally overbroad" because it gives police officers "incredibly broad discretion."
The Bush administration and anti-pornography groups, however, say the measure is key to fighting child abuse because offers to buy or share illicit material "help drive the market for child porn" even when no pornography exists.
Attorney Richard Diaz, arguing for Williams, said the measure punished "thoughts, beliefs, expressions and opinions." He said someone could be charged with a federal crime for describing "American Beauty" -- a movie about a middle-aged man lusting after a teenage girl -- as "hot, graphic teen sex."
The justices appeared unmoved, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts noting that Williams "didn't produce 'Lolita.'"
Justice Anthony Kennedy pointed out that Williams wasn't trafficking in mainstream material.
"He was convicted of having what everyone recognizes as not only child pornography but involving a very small child," Kennedy said. "He knew what it was. And he conveyed that belief."
