Starboard 7'7''X27'' PRO Review
• Introduction
The Starboard PRO SUP line consists of 7 boards targeted, as its name suggests, towards advanced paddle surfers. We've tested the 7'7''X27''X3.8'' 92 Lt. in the Brushed Carbon construction. Is the 7'7'' PRO "The choice for riders who don't want barriers to performance" as claimed by the producer? Read our full review and find out.
• Shape
The 7'7'' PRO features a rounded-point nose and a rounded square tail. The maximum width of 27'' is located at around mid-length. The bottom contours feature a continuous single concave the entire length of the board. The deck is quite flat, especially in the standing area. The scoop-rocker line is characterized by a decent tail rocker and moderate nose kick but for the rest of the length it is quite flat. The board features moderate low apex rails.
Construction & Features
• Construction & Features
The 7'7'' PRO is built in ultra-light Biaxial carbon technology laminated onto water resistant high density foam sandwich and a Fused Cell core. Interestingly, the angles of the carbon weave are optimized in order to provide the right flex to the board. At just 5.9 Kg with fins, the 7'7'' PRO is incredibly light, actually the lightest SUP board that we've tested to date. The board is equipped with a carry handle but comes without a deck pad as it features the "Startouch Finish" on the deck surface. The traction provided by the "Startouch Finish" is sufficient but we do recommend a good Tail Pad at the very least. The 7'7'' can be configured in either a Thruster-Fin (recommended, based on team rider performance feedback) or Quad-Fin setup. The board is bundled with a good quality Thruster set (a US Box 140 and two FCS M4.5'').

• Performance
We have tested the 7'7'' PRO with waves ranging from mushy waist high to solid overheads.
Stability – Lateral stability is respectively good and sufficient for light and medium weight paddle surfers. The heavyweights might struggle in choppy and windy conditions.
Row – The row effect is not an issue with the 7'7'' but adopting the shortboard paddling technique is recommended.
Takeoff – The board provides great acceleration and speed so it catches waves pretty easily.
Nose Sinking – Not an issue.
Carving – A PRO Stand Up Paddle surfboard shouldn't leave anything to be desired as far as the wave riding potential is concerned and, put to the test, the SB 7'7'' PRO surpassed even our wildest expectations. This is the fastest SUP surfboard tested to date, by far! Not only the board generates plenty of speed with the lift created by its single concave bottom, but it keeps it through the turns at the same time allowing for a great degree of maneuverability and drive. In fact, the board provides aggressive turns with an outstanding vertical projection and re-direction capabilities thanks to a fast rail to rail response. As a result the 7'7'' shines even among fat and mushy waves but let's not forget that clean, steep waves are the ideal playground of this shape. As we said before, the board is loose but in a fair way as it allows to lay into turns without worrying about sliding out. So it is not as snappy as a shortboard Fish Quad but still quite loose allowing tight arcs with lots of control. In all, the board is fast and extremely maneuverable even though only the expert paddle surfer can fully exploit its potential.
Making it out – Relatively easy for light to medium weight SUP surfers.
Nose riding – Buy another board!
Suitability – No amateurs! This is a board for progressive new school SUP geared towards advanced stand up paddle surfers only!
Ideal Conditions – Medium to big clean and steep waves. Still performs reasonably well among fat and mushy waves i.e. beachbreaks.
Tips – Keep a forward momentum while paddling, especially in choppy and windy conditions in order to improve stability. Always adopt the hybrid paddling stance. Don't over-steer the board as it reacts instantly to foot pressure. Overall, this board works better as a Thruster.

Conclusions & Verdict
• Conclusions & Verdict
A stock SUP surfboard labeled as PRO might sound just as a marketing stunt but it's not the case of the Starboard 7'7'' and – we presume – its siblings of the Starnboard SUP PRO Line. In fact, after testing it extensively in a wide array of conditions we can confirm the producer's claim. The board is extremely fast and responsive to foot pressure allowing razor sharp cutbacks and backsides even in the deepest sections giving a great degree of control. However, there is a price to pay in terms of lateral stability, most noticeably in choppy and windy condition but we would say that this shape successfully trades performance against stability. In all, the Starboard PRO 7'7'' combines state of the art technology with an extremely functional shape aimed at providing the best performance on the water. As such it comes highly recommended to light and medium weight expert SUP surfers.
The Starboard PRO 7'7'' Brushed Carbon is now our reference board in its class but, again, it must be pointed out that this shape commands skill and experience to be properly ridden. So, in the end, the only question you have to ask yourself is: do you really want that? If you are not skilled enough for this board you are going to spend in the water most of your sessions! Go wider and bigger in terms of volume then.
State of the art construction and top notch performance - Incredibly light - Good stock fins.
Intrinsically unstable in choppy and windy conditions - Startouch deck finish not functional.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — An errant ember may be to blame for a fire at a home undergoing renovations on East Main Street.
The house is owned by Neal Segala; it is currently unoccupied.
Neighbors said the building across from the intersection with Gallup Street had been undergoing renovations all summer. An old addition had been pulled off and a new open L-shaped porch had been built. The fire apparently began on top of the porch roof on the front left corner of the house.
"They had people working on the building today," said Fire Director Stephen Meranti. "It started on that roof and that's where they were working ... They use a torch to heat up the roofing materials and it got into the framing ... and extended into the wall."
It is believed an ember from the torch may have flared up inside the roof or wall.
The work stopped at about 4 p.m.; several calls reporting smoke and fire came in about 4:42. Meranti said a column of smoke could be seen from the downtown. All off-duty firefighters were called in.
"When we got here we had fire on the roof and the exterior wall," he said. "The guys did a great job. They grabbed the ladder to the roof, stretched a line to the roof."
Firefighters led by Lt. John Paciorek attacked the blaze from the roof and forced entrance into the vacant building to see if it extended inside. The exterior wall was pulled off at the corner and inside a second story room; firefighters also pulled of the exterior molding on the first floor. The window on the second story room was also pulled out.
The 19th-century house has balloon construction and plank walls.
"We got it before it really extended up into the attic," Meranti said. "We had to open up some walls but it's not super damaged."
The owner was planning to secure the building for the night.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Pittsfield Police are requesting aid in finding a missing local man, James R. Purcell.
The 30-year-old Purcell was last seen on or about Nov. 14.
He is described as a black male, with brown eyes, standing 5-foot-10 and weighing 165 pounds.
He may be operating his gray 2008 Toyota Rav 4 with Massachusetts registration 828-EN8.
Purcell attended Taconic High School and Berkshire Community College; his Facebook page lists his place of employment as Best Buy.
Anyone with information as to Purcell's whereabouts is asked to contact the Pittsfield Police Department's Detective Bureau at 413-448-9705.

1839 Eagle, Type of 1840, AU581839 $10 Type of 1840, Small Letters AU58 NGC. The redesigned Type of 1840 Liberty Head can be distinguished by the less-pointed rear on the bust truncation, and star 10 appearing between the folds of the hair bun, rather than star 9 as on the Type of 1838, also called Large Letters. The Philadelphia Mint made about twice as many Type of 1838 eagles in 1839 as of the later Type of 1840, which saw only 12,447 pieces reported struck. Most examples seem to have circulated rather heavily, making this near-Mint coin a standout example. Light field chatter covers both sides of this medium-gold piece, but there are no singular marks, and generous luster yields to some prooflike reflectivity remaining in the protected areas. The strike is quite well-executed throughout both sides. Census: 6 in 58, 1 finer (1/14).

We promise to deliver true customer support, and along with our easy-to-use, high quality products we make it easy so you can make music.
It's About the Music!
What you may not know is that the very first Superscope product wasn't a tape recorder. It was a trademarked process for producing wide screen motion picture prints more cost-effectively than the competing Cinemascope process.
As conceived and designed by the Tushinsky brothers, the "Superscope" wide screen process had its brief heyday from 1954, when Superscope Inc. was incorporated, to 1957. It was first used on the film Vera Cruz starring Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster. Howard Hughes' RKO Pictures used the Superscope process on a total of nine films, including Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. Disney successfully reissued Fantasia in Superscope in the mid-fifties.
In 1957, Superscope's founders, Joseph, Irving, Nathan, and Fred Tushinsky were visiting Japan when they met with the executives of a Japanese electronics company named Sony. The Tushinsky's discovered that Sony had stereo tape recorders, the world's first with built-in amplifiers. Soon realizing the potential for the tape recorders for the U.S. market, the Tushinsky's within months contracted for exclusive rights to distribute them in the United States. The Tushinsky's understanding of the needs of the American marketplace, combined with Sony's design and manufacturing expertise, propelled both companies to prominence.
During the 1960's Sony released a variety of Sony/Superscope branded reel-to-reel and cassette tape recorders. Superscope continued to market and distribute Sony tape recorders exclusively in the United States until January 1, 1975, when Sony acquired back distribution rights to its line of tape recorders from Superscope. By 1973 Superscope was producing its own line of professional portable cassette recorders for the worldwide market.
In 1964, Superscope Inc. acquired a small but prestigious hi-fi company from Saul Marantz. From this acquisition Superscope developed and marketed Marantz high-fidelity audio products, such as stereo amplifiers, receivers, and record players worldwide.
In 1975, Superscope's product line included eight portable tape recorders, six portable cassette radio products, seven Hi-Fi receivers, two tuners, three amplifiers, five stereo tape decks, six speaker models, five compact music systems and eight microphones.
Superscope Inc. reached its apex in the mid 1970s. In 1976, the company operated worldwide facilities totaling 1.25 million square feet in four countries. It grew internationally by establishing international distribution subsidiaries in France, Germany, the UK and merging its Japanese distribution subsidiaries into Marantz Sales Company. Superscope Inc. completed the construction of a massive headquarters building in Chatsworth, Calif., spanning 13 1/2 acres. It consolidated its corporate offices, warehousing, and North American manufacturing in this one facility.
The manufacturing plant, employing hundreds of workers, produced Marantz amplifiers, Superscope stereo music systems, and Superscope speakers. The company initiated rigorous quality control procedures, invested in then state-of-the-art computer data and phone systems, focused on logistics efficiencies, and vertically integrated its marketing and publicity.
During this era, Superscope pursued a strategy of marketing Marantz as a premiere brand of quality consumer audio products, and Superscope consumer audio products as its budget line "made by Marantz." Naturally enough, the two brands became intertwined in consumers' minds. Superscope also manufactured Imperial speakers.
The Superscope Pianocorder Reproducing System was launched in the late 1970's. It was also available factory-installed in the Marantz Reproducing Piano. The Pianocorder system provided a modern alternative to traditional player-piano rolls. It used ordinary cassette tape as a storage medium and played the piano directly from commands stored on the cassette tape.
Superscope created a fairly extensive library of material for the Pianocorder system, available on over 30 ten-cassette volumes. A large portion of these recordings were made by converting reproducing piano rolls to Pianocorder format. Several famous pianists, including Liberace, George Shearing, and Oscar Peterson, produced recordings directly on Superscope's Bosendorfer concert grand piano.
In 1987, the Pianocorder Division was acquired by Yamaha. Yamaha developed its own competing system and discontinued sales of the digital cassette-driven player piano one month later.
Superscope also developed the popular Superscope Story Tellers / Tele-Story books. These books came with an audiocassette tape of music and narration. A wide variety of titles were published in the 1970s and 1980s.
By the 1980s, with competition fierce in the consumer audio marketplace, this industry giant sold off many of its assets, including its giant Chatsworth facility, which it then leased back for a time. The company then changed its name from Superscope Inc. to the Marantz Company. In 1987, Joseph Tushinsky retired as chairman when the Marantz Company was purchased by Dynascan Corporation (today's Cobra Electronics Corp).
By 1990, Cobra had sold the Marantz brand to Philips Electronics. In the process, Philips negotiated an agreement so that Cobra continued to market Marantz Professional products in the Americas.
In 1993, Superscope Technologies, Inc. was formed by acquiring rights to the Superscope brand and distribution rights for Marantz Professional audio products. Superscope Technologies is located in Geneva, Illinois.

MADISON Bacteria are among the simplest organisms in nature, but many of them can still talk to each other, using a chemical "language" that is critical to the process of infection. Sending and receiving chemical signals allows bacteria to mind their own business when they are scarce and vulnerable, and then mount an attack after they become numerous enough to overwhelm the host's immune system.
This system, called "quorum sensing," is an interesting example of sophistication among microbes, says Helen Blackwell, an associate professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In practical terms, she adds, quorum sensing may provide an alternative therapeutic target as bacteria continue to evolve resistance to antibiotics.
Theoretically, blocking quorum sensing would prevent the bacteria from turning pathogenic and producing the toxins that are an immediate cause of disease in bacterial infections.
Bacteria use simple chemical signals to control quorum sensing, and Blackwell is interested in how these compounds work and in developing new ways to intercept them. In a study just published online in the journal ChemBioChem, Blackwell and colleagues Andrew Palmer, Evan Streng and Kelsea Jewell showed that several species of bacteria can respond to identical signals, suggesting that one drug could battle quorum sensing in several types of bacteria.
Many bacteria use a class of molecules called lactones for quorum sensing, and Blackwell's lab has synthesized many non-native lactones, and then tested them in two species of bacteria that use identical native lactone signals. Overall, the organisms responded similarly to the same synthetic molecules, despite the dramatic differences between the species.
These results suggest that the same basic chemical sensing mechanism could be common among microbes, Blackwell says. "That tells us that we can use these classes of chemicals to study and perhaps eventual

UFC Demetrious Johnson, left, and Ian McCall, stand tall but still have to look up to Miami Heats Mike Miller. The fighters are the headliners in a highly anticipated UFC flyweight rematch Friday at the BankAtlantic Center. They arrived in town Monday and were guests at the home of Miller, who is a big MMA fan. Miller is tall at 6-foot-8, but really looks it next to Johnson who is 5-foot-3 and McCall who is 5-5.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, campaignlive.co.uk, Wednesday, 09 November 2011 08:00AM
The ad for the Marc Jacobs scent, which is owned by Coty UK, features Fanning in a pink polka-dot dress that reveals part of her thigh, leaning back on one arm with an over-sized bottle of the perfume placed between her legs.
The print ad ran in a selection of national titles including the Sunday Times Style magazine and ES Magazine.
The ad appeared in publications aimed at the over 25s, and despite neither Coty, ES Magazine or Sunday Times Style magazine receiving complaints, four readers contacted the ASA with concerns that the ad was irresponsible and portrayed Fanning in a sexualised manner.
The ASA said that despite Fanning being 17 in the ad, she looked under 16 and was photographed in a sexually provocative way, which could be seen to sexualise a child and "cause serious offence".
Last month the ASA ruled that overtly sexually provocative billboards will be banned as part of the industry's response to the Bailey Review, which proposed restrictions on the use and display of sexualised imagery in brand advertising.

I have yet come upon a HG eyeliner but this is the closest I have been. The smudge is minimal. By the end of the day, this eyeliner fades about 30-40% and creases on my oiler eye but remains almost perfect on the other eye. I do love the packaging because the cap is springy (don't know how to explain) but I feel like it locks the eyeliner in and prevents transfers when it is inside the cap. The thing I hate most is the tip. I have monolids and never want a skinny precise line, which is what the tip is good for. I prefer fatter more sharpie like tips similar to the eyeko eyeliner. I haven't used the product that often but I do feel like the product is drying up because I have to cap the product and shake before I use it on the second eye. Otherwise one eye would be a lot more pigmented then the other.

You can do so many different looks with a black pen-style liquid eyeliner, and lately this is the one I reach for everyday. The things I love about it: the cool packaging, the depth of liner's blackness, the fact that it doesn't skip, and it's ability to last through my almost constant tearing (allergies - ugh). It removes easily with my HG remover MUFE Sens'eyes. The size of the "pen" tip is perfect - you can do a thin line or a thick line - and it's never draggy. The product has a gel-like consistency. The price is reasonable, and you can find it easily because it's sold at Sephora. I've tried so many of these pens, and this is definitely one of the best - it's even replaced my former HG, Stila's Stay-all-day (though they have a better color selection). This product does set VERY quickly so work fast - it's basically dry as soon as it's drawn, which does make it tough if you make a mistake. I find that this is actually a good thing as it doesn't smudge all over the place while you're waiting for it to dry. I love it and highly recommend!

This is my all time favorite holiest of holy grail eyeliner! I will not ever want to try and find a replacement for this if they ever stop making it. It beats out Urban Decay, MAC, Bobbi Brown and any others I've ever tried. I use it for a natural look or more dramatic, line top or bottom with it. I only use black eyeliner so I have bought 2 of these in Trooper and they have lasted for almost 2 years with daily use.

I really like this eyeliner. Its easy to achieve a cat eye with this liner because of the pen like tip. This liner last all day, but is easy enough to remove. The one issue i have is that Ive only had it about 2 months, and i don't use it every day, only a few times a week and its dried out already. For $20 for a eyeliner I would expect a longer lifespan! They should add more product for that price.

I bought this eyeliner from Sephora just because I was curious about the Kat Von D products. It's the best eyeliner I have ever had. It's easy to apply and the texture is almost like a mix between an eye pencil and liquid liner. I want to try other eyeliners just for fun, but I will probably end up buying this again because it's great to wear everyday.

I was very excited to try this product, but ended up disappointed. It is typically the style of eyeliner I use daily.
The eyeliner is nice and dark, but harder to apply that I thought it would, even with the thin marker-style tip. It takes alot of work to get a nice, even line. It flakes and chips off while applying, and is not buildable. If you need to go over it, it takes off what you've already applied.

I've been on the hunt for an outstanding everyday black liner for tight-lining since my beloved Jemma Kidd I-Tech liner was discontinued. I tried a Smashbox product, returned it, and now this. I really, really wanted to love it.
The formula itself is alright. It went on smoothly and stayed put. No smudging or flaking. And it lasted well enough throughout the day. When the corners of my eyes watered, though, it did disappear (not run or smudge; just disappeared) so I'm hesitant to say it's truly waterproof.
The main issues I had with this product were:
1) The pigmentation. In my opinion it's such a dusty, faint black that it almost leans gray. I prefer a crisper, even glossy black.
2) The packaging! OMG, the packaging! The applicator is a brush tip, but with very taut bristles that come to a point. I'm fine with that and comfortable using all types of brushes for liquid liner. But because of the way the cap fits onto the liner pen, the bristles get caught and bent. Since the pen and cap and bristles are all black, there's definitely no way to see this happening as you re-cap it (not sure if you could anyway, given the angle). When you re-open it again later, though, the bristles are frayed and bent way back and of course that leaves liner in weird places, tickles and pushes on your eyelashes, etc. Major issue!
3) I purchased this product less than 3 weeks ago and have used it almost daily. I've noticed in the past few days it seems to be empty and is getting dry. I'd expect a pricy HE liner to last longer than that.

As so many people before me have said, this eyeliner is amazing. This is honestly my holy grail eyeliner, not just liquid. This is the only thing that does not smudge or transfer on to my lower lash line.
I have repurchased this eyeliner at least 6 times. They usually last about 5 months or so, but at first I thought they ran out around 3 months. You do have to be careful, they can dry out, so ALWAYS put the cap back on. I use to be lazy about this and lost a few liners because of it. If it seems like you've run out, shake the liner and you should be good again.
This last me all day at work, and I work for 9 or more hours outside in the heat. I have put it on for work in the morning and then gone out that night and it still didn't smudge.
It does come off easily with a makeup remover though, I use Bioderma or coconut oil. I do have sensitive eyes and this never bothers them.
I will continue to repurchase this products over and over!
Oh, one annoying this; if you purchase this from Sephora, the black color, Trooper, is almost always sold out in store... So order it online!

A patriotic hot air balloon takes flight across a lake near Farmington, New Mexico.
The hot air balloon is the oldest successful human-carrying flight technology. It is part of a class of aircraft known as balloon aircraft. On November 21, 1783, in Annonay, France, the first untethered manned flight was performed by Jean-Fran�ois Pil�tre de Rozier and Fran�ois Laurent d'Arlandes in a hot air balloon created on December 14, 1782 by the Montgolfier brothers. Hot air balloons that can be propelled through the air rather than just being pushed along by the wind are known as airships or, more specifically, thermal airships.
A hot air balloon consists of a bag called the envelope that is capable of containing heated air. Suspended beneath is a gondola or wicker basket (in some long-distance or high-altitude balloons, a capsule), which carries passengers and (usually) a source of heat, in most cases an open flame. The heated air inside the envelope makes it buoyant since it has a lower density than the relatively cold air outside the envelope. As with all aircraft, hot air balloons cannot fly beyond the atmosphere. Unlike gas balloons, the envelope does not have to be sealed at the bottom since the air near the bottom of the envelope is at the same pressure as the air surrounding. For modern sport balloons the envelope is generally made from nylon fabric and the inlet of the balloon (closest to the burner flame) is made from fire resistant material such as Nomex. Beginning during the mid-1970s, balloon envelopes have been made in all kinds of shapes, such as rocket ships and the shapes of various commercial products, though the traditional shape remains popular for most non-commercial, and many commercial, applications.
Hot air balloon festivals are held annually in many places throughout the year, allowing hot air balloons to gather and participate in various activities. They can include races; evening "night glows", in which balloons are fired while remaining tetheted to the ground; and rides.

Judge rules no deer shining by tribes
A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Department of Natural Resources has the authority to enforce state shining laws involving Chippewa tribes in ceded territories of northern Wisconsin until a Dec. 12 hearing.
The ruling by Judge Barbara Crabb means that the Indians won't go forward with night shining of deer off tribal lands until the hearing.
"We hit the pause button," said Sue Erickson, a spokeswoman for the Great Lakes Indian Fish and Wildlife Commission. »Read Full Blog Post(17)

Lululemon - Expectations Still Too High
Posted by: Fede Zaldua (IP Logged)
Date: December 16, 2013 05:08PM
Lululemon (LULU)'s decreasing top-line growth rate shouldn't be surprising and I do not think changing the company's CEO will solve the situation going forward. Of course, Laurent Potdevin, Lululemon's new CEO might help to clean the company's image after its predecessor, Chip Wilson, the company's founder, made some unpopular remarks that could have hurt the brand. That said, I believe the company will not find it easy to expand internationally nor to recover its previous 39% top line growth rate – the company is now expected to grow sales at the still high 17% year-over-year rate. Let's take a look at Lululemon and try to figure out what could be a sensible price for the company.
The Good
When looking at Lululemon's story there are some very clear bright-spots. For starters, the company reported strong third quarter results with revenues coming at $380 million, retail same-store-sales (the most relevant figure for retailers) growing by 5% and total operating margins coming at 24.3%, well ahead of consensus estimates. Besides, the CEO announcement came sooner than expected and Potdevin's fitness executive experience at Burton Snowboards and his global expansion efforts at TOMS are nothing but good news for Lululemon's investors.
The Bad
Overall, retail analysts were way too optimistic regarding Lululemon's growth potential. Credit Suisse, for example, expected Lululemon to be able to grow its same-store-sales by 9% year over year and its square footage by 15% annually. Those unrealistic figures had provided 20% year-over-year revenue growth estimates. The bank's analysts are now expecting the company to grow its same-store-sales at low single-digit rates and it has trimmed its 2017 EPS estimates by 26% to $3.69.
All the above being said, it's important to stress one essential fact: Lululemon is still growing fast and very profitably. The problem was to be found in expectations. They just were too high. As in most of life matters, in finance also happiness equals reality minus expectations.
On Valuation
As I just mentioned, happiness — and investment results — equals reality minus expectations and, according to the company's valuation, overall expectations are still too high in Lululemon's case. Despite being down by 21% year to date Lululemon trades at 21 times 2014 EV/EBITDA and 30 times earnings, which is well ahead of its peer average.
For example, American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) trades at 16 times 2014 earnings while The GAP (GPS), which is growing earnings at an 18% year-over-year pace, sells for 14.2 times 2014 earnings. Hence, I strongly believe that expectations about Lululemon's future growth are still too high. Investment history can provide multiple cases that appear to resemble Lululemon's case. Let's just think of Crocs (CROX). Back in June 2011, Crocs' share price was $25 and its P/E multiple was around 27 times. Right now, the company's shares are worth $13 and the company trades at a 15.5 times P/E.
For the time being, I think Lululemon is a clear short, even when Ron Baron is still long on the company's shares. At a price below $25 (which represents a 56% discount to the current price level), I believe the company does have a future and will be able to grow its top line fast. I would be long Lululemon but not at any price above such a level. We shall have to wait and see.

CSFB was late to the party with huge numbers and SSS. The analyst completely missed the move and then backed up their 78 target 2 weeks before they reported. Now a 59 target ! Typical Wall Street

The words women use most often about me are...
The words women use most often about me are kind, caring, wise, insightful. I am tall (6'), handsome, healthy, spiritual, loyal, with a big heart and a sense of humor. A gentleman who will treat you like a lady. I enjoy a good book, a good movie, romantic walks, a trip along the coast, going out for herbal tea/coffee and sometimes for dinner, and spending time together in the evening and having enjoyable conversation. It is so much fun doing small things that make life sweet. Covering a woman's feet when she gets a bit chilly on the sofa, for example, with a wink and a gleam in the eye that convey his love. Shared meals--eating alone is sooo boring--and sharing conversation, about our day or whatever else. Sharing intimate moments—even if it is just cuddling. Doing our activities and knowing that there is a beloved in our shared life. I lead seminars and coach on interpersonal communication skills for a living, and it is important to me that the woman I am with be warm and empathic. I don't fight dirty. I listen and seek to understand and expect the same in turn and this is how we work things out. Shame, blame, disrespect and condemnation are deal breakers. Jewish spiritual teachings guide me--honesty, compassion, honoring people, awareness of the One and that there is a bigger picture. (I am fairly liberal on rituals; I take the spiritual teachings seriously.) In my better moments, you will find grace and nobility of spirit. It is fine if you have children. I once dated a single mom and saw how hard it was to do it all alone. It is so much nicer to have a man help you. I am fine if you are smart, successful, wealthy, or any other accomplishment. I celebrate your achievements. Don't dumb down for me or minimize yourself. Your success or your brains don't scare me. I am secure in myself and enjoy a smart, successful woman. What matters is that you respect the man you are with and enjoy being cherished by him. Walk into the house and relax into your feminine essence. I am a gentleman seeking a fine woman to care for, cherish, and together build a loving home. Interested in being the feminine to my masculine?

According to The Nation magazine, Vanderslice "cornered" Kate Michelman of NARAL Pro-Choice America at the 2004 Democratic convention (in the proverbial "back alley," one can only hope) to ask Michelman for help "in convincing Catholics that Kerry was really against abortion." ("NARAL" is an acronym for something with "abortion" in the title, but we don't know what because the NARAL webpage won't use the word abortion.) Inasmuch as NARAL's raison d'être is to keep abortion legal until the baby is around age thirteen, either Kerry's religion adviser was casually enlisting NARAL to help lie to the American people or she is even dumber than the average Democrat.
At a church service at the Democratic National Convention held for People of Faith for Kerry (not to be confused with Muslims for Kerry), the church displayed a cloth sign proclaiming: "Lesbians, Gays & Friends at Old South Church" are "Open and Affirming." James Forbes of the Riverside Church in Manhattan delivered the sermon, in which he called for "full employment," "a true livable wage," "universal access to pre-kindergarten and childcare programs," a "progressive tax policy," and various other items specifically mentioned during the Sermon on the Mount.
And Democrats remain genuinely mystified as to why they didn't win the 2004 election. After the Democrats failed to get a majority of Americans to vote for them in the seventh straight presidential election—since Jimmy Carter won with 50.1 percent of the vote in 1976—liberal minister Jim Wallis leapt into the breach. He proposed to teach the Democrats how to "reframe" their language to make people think they believe in God. We don't believe this crazy God crap, but let's fake out the American people so we can enact gay marriage and partial birth abortion, and ban God from the Pledge of Allegiance. His big idea is to redefine Jesus' genuine, personal, volitional love for the poor as the same as their impersonal, coercive, compassionless welfare machinery. (Wallis's favorite part of the Gospel begins, "Blessed are the economically disadvantaged in spirit . . .")
The Democrats got off to a good start after the 2004 election when the new head of the Democratic National Committee, Howard Dean, denounced Republicans as "pretty much a white Christian party." (Even when sneering at Christians—Christians!—Democrats use blacks for cover.) To be sure, 80 percent of the Republican Party is white and Christian, slightly higher than the nation as a whole, which is 70 percent white and Christian. Democrats cannot conceive of "hate speech" toward Christians because, in their eyes, Christians always deserve it.

Heineken Cup Pool 6: Alan Solomons rues second half mistakes
After a good, controlled start, second-half errors in our system changed the course of the game and from then on we were obviously on the back foot.

Edinburgh head coach Alan Solomons admitted his side paid the price for an error-strewn second-half performance as Perpignan stormed back for a 31-14 win.
The Scottish side led at half-time thanks to a spirited performance and a try for Tim Visser, but they were put to the sword by Perpignan after the interval at Stade Aime Giral.
"After a good, controlled start, second-half errors in our system changed the course of the game and from then on we were obviously on the back foot," Solomons said.
"What we'll take away from this game is a very good 40 minutes. However, at this level, you are at punished for mistakes and that's what happened after the break.
"We need to continue to cut down our individual and system errors but also to keep your composure after an error is made, and when a side scores against us."
James Hook contributed 11 points for the home side and pulled the strings expertly in the victory, and the Welshman was thrilled with the victory which puts his team in a commanding position in Pool Six.
He said: "Nothing much happened in the first half but we had a bit of a chat at half-time and came back out firing.
Strike runners
"We had been playing into Edinburgh's hands in the first half. They were defending close so we just needed to get the ball out wide to our strike runners.
"We did that following the break with Wandile and Watisoni Votu really coming into the game.
"They were outstanding in the second half and the two quick tries really helped us and really swung the momentum. Edinburgh's heads dropped a bit after that but they kept battling and got a try at the end.
"It's still early days but to take a losing bonus-point on the road and a bonus-point win at home is great. At half-time we certainly would have taken
"We have to face Munster first in December and that will be huge - they are giants of European rugby.
"It will be a tough match but one we are looking forward to. These double-headers will shape the outcome of the pool."

What is Warm Home Discount?
Warm Home Discount is a four year Government-led scheme, which was introduced in 2011. It involves Government and electricity suppliers working together with the aim of offering additional support to people who are at risk of being fuel poor. Theres a number of ways the scheme can offer support, including rebates.
Warm Home Discount Rebates
Warm Home Discount gives qualifying vulnerable customers an extra £120 towards their electricity bill. Customers receiving the guaranteed credit element of Pension Credit automatically qualify for this rebate. Theres also Warm Home Discount - Support Plus for customers in receipt of other specific state benefits. You can find more information on this below.
Warm Home Discount Support Plus
To qualify for a Warm Home Discount Support Plus rebate, you must receive one from each of the criteria sections below.
Criteria - Section 1
Income Based Job Seekers Allowance

Income related employment support allowance.
Criteria Section 2

If you think youre eligible for a Warm Home Discount Support Plus rebate, you can fill out the online application form by clicking the Apply now button at the bottom of this page. Alternatively if youd prefer to speak to someone who can help answer any additional questions you might have, then give us a call on 0808 101 4130*. Once youve applied, you might be contacted by our scheme partner and asked to provide documentary evidence of the benefit youre receiving.
If youre a qualifying credit customer, well simply add your Warm Home Discount Support Plus rebate to your account or if youre a prepayment customer, well send you vouchers. However, its important you sign up early as availability is limited.
Warm Home Discount
If you receive only the guaranteed credit element of Pension Credit, you automatically qualify for the Warm Home Discount rebate, so you dont need to do anything.
Once we receive confirmation of your eligibility from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), well simply add a credit to your account or if youre a prepayment customer well send you vouchers. So, just sit back and expect £120 from us.
If you change your electricity supplier before we pay the rebate to you, you will receive a cheque for the full amount.

Re: Warm Home Discount Scheme (rebate for some people possible)
This £120 payment is automatic to those on Pension Credit, but anyone else who is entitled must apply.
So if you have been on benefit since October (Jobseekers/ESA etc) and also receive Child Tax Credit then you should apply to your Energy supplier. Remember you have paid into the system and so you are entitled to it.
The annoying thing is those who deserve it have to chase it and are not informed about it, but those who haven't put into the system or who play the system are usually informed of what to claim for by certain organisations that are quite often government funded but are not really there for the benefit of everyone.
